01x10 - The Grim Escape

[bunniefuu]

[coach] Good morning.

It's been an...

interesting Sheep Week this year.

But the team that defied expectations

and overcame the odds

to become this year's champions...

-[drumming]
-Chh!

Team Dream Chasers!

[boy 1 coughs]

[boy 2] Free bird!

[coach] Huh? Team Dream Chasers?

You here? Anyone?

Who skips their own award ceremony?

How do you know you're champions
if you don't have a trophy that says so?

What could be more important
than a trophy?

Ey! Hands off, bub!

[opening theme music playing]

I still don't get it.

How did Logan end up here?
What was he doing?

I suspect Lunia's Hourglass
had something to do with it.

What do you mean?

I couldn't find it this morning.
I thought I'd misplaced it,

but now I know.

[all gasp]

If Logan took it,
I'm sure he had a reason.

Wait, why are you defending him?

He stole that hourglass.

And we'll get it back. We must.

But right now, we gotta figure out
how to rescue Logan

before the Nightmare King
knows we're here.

[Night Terrors roar]

Oh-h*. Might be too late.

Not if I can help it.

Wait! No! Izzie!

[growls]

[Mr. Oz] Gah! Let's go,
let's go, let's go! Come on!

This place is so devoid
of happiness and creativity,

any display of imagination
becomes a target.

So you're saying we're behind enemy lines

and shouldn't dreamcraft?

-Coop!
-What the...

[Zoey] Ah!

I'm saying make it count.

Look, g*ng,
it's not just the Nightmare King's forces

we gotta worry about here.

Let's not call attention to ourselves

until it's absolutely necessary.

Capiche?

I'll keep the engines running.

But just in case...

h*-h*! We all getting new toys
for this mission?

So excited.

Little squirt,
the Edison b*mb is not a toy.

It's a failsafe.

Plan B.
When it detonates, it emits pure daylight.

Bad news for any nightmare creatures
in its radius.

Just don't look directly at the blast
or it will wake you.

Okay, all right...
Storming the Shadowkeep! We can do this!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! We can't just
stroll into the Shadowkeep.

-We're not on a field trip to a museum.
-I said "storm", not "stroll".

Please. We're gonna sneak in.
Quick and quiet.

[Grimspawn laughs]

Uh... guys,

I don't think we're sneaking anywhere...

[Mateo] Come on!

[Night Hunter] Ow!

How many times

have I told you to watch
where you point that thing?

[Snivel and Susan laugh]

[Night Hunter sighs]

You know, kid,

you're a fool for not letting
the Nightmare King help you.

Like he's helped you?

How's that working out?

You know, you're just one slip up away
from being in the same jam as me.

I know the feeling, bro.

So, lemme outta here
before my friends show up

and put a stop to this whole freakshow.

Look, I'll put in a good word for you.

[Night Hunter]
You really don't get it, do you?

Once we destroy Castle Nocturnia,

no one will be able to stop him.

[laughs]

Oh, here's the sad truth, kid.

Your friends aren't coming
because they don't need you.

[Snivel and Susan laugh]

[Grimspawns]
All alone! All alone! All alone!

Oh, uh, little bit of advice,
choose better friends.

[laughs]

[gasps]

[Snivel] So...

who gets the honors?

-[Sneak] Me, me!
-[Logan gasps]

It's my turn to lock the cage.

[gasps]

[Sneak] Oh, dang!

-Curse these hands I don't have.
-[Snivel growls]

[Susan] You're just as weak
and pathetic as this fool here.

Heh?

I'll show you weak and pathetic!

[growls]

[Susan screams]

[grunts]

[Susan groans]

Ugh. Why am I so freaking small?

[groans angrily]

Why are you helping me?
What's in it for you?

Better friends.

[Grimspawns grunting]

Guys, I think we lost them.

[all gasp]

Well, something found us.

Just slowly back away.

[roars]

Yeah, I'm not sure "slow"
is the right approach here.

[roars]

[Mr. Oz] You're right. Run!

[Cooper] Has anyone else noticed
how often that is our plan B?

[all panting]

[Cooper] Whoa!

This is why I hate field trips.

[Night Terrors growl]

[Sneak] Ah, this way!

Man, this place is gnarly.

The hourglass.

What's he up to?

[groans]

Boss. Uh, boss, we have a... situation.

[Night Hunter] I said
I didn't want to be disturbed.

The fool has escaped.

How?

[Susan] Sneak.

[Night Hunter]
And yet the blame will fall on me.

But not if I find him first.

[Susan] Better hurry.

A patrol spotted Dream Chasers
here in the Grim Realm.

Ah, maybe the kid has friends after all.

Find the fool!
I will deal with his friends.

Come on! What are you doin'?

Making things right.

[grunts]

[Logan] So you think you can resist Logan?

Nothing can resist Logan.

Take this. And that.

[grunts] I can't get through this thing.

Of course you can't.
What were you thinking?

Thinking? I'm all about the action, bro.

[grunts]

[Logan groans]

You gotta have the Nightmare touch.

[gasps]

Now move it or lose it, Stinkbrain.

You know, I'm not so hot
on the whole "Stinkbrain" nickname.

[Logan] Uh, whoa!

I'm not so hot on bottomless pits either.

-Go!
-Go where?

Bottomless pit!

[screams]

[all panting]

-[Zoey] Mateo!
-Go! I'll catch up.

[Izzie] Mateo!

[Mr. Oz] What are you doing?

[Mateo] I'm making it count.

-[Mateo] Yeah, over here, puppy.
-[Grimwolf growls]

You want some of this?

A lot of shiny creativity right here.

Come on, boy.

Here boy. Here boy.

[growls]

Let's do it, Z.

[Mateo grunts]

You got any better ideas?

[Mateo] And, like that,

back to running plan B again.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of that plan.
Let's try something more personal.

Nice shot, Z.

Running again.

-[Grimwolf growls]
-[Mateo screams]

Ah!

[roars]

[Logan yelps]

[grunts]

What the heck, bro? What was that?

That was me saving your worthless hide.

Yeah, well...

Thanks.

You're free! Wake up already.

-I can't!
-What do you mean?

You're free from the Nightmare King.

You know what I would give for that?

My friends are out there.

[sighs] Boss man was right, Stinkbrain.

You are a fool.

But you ain't weak. I'll give you that.

Thick as a brick. And c*ck too.
And kind of smell a little...

Okay! Okay!

Well, come on then.

You think I'm hangin'
around this dump to see

if his Royal Terrifyingness
notices you're missing?

[chuckles]

[Cooper] She's been gone a long time.

[Zoey] Ah!

[grunts]

-[panting]
-[Mr. Oz] Ah!

Did you find him?

[pants]

No. Maybe he woke up?

No. We have to trust
he knows what he's doing

and stick to the plan.

You guys can stick to the plan.

I'm going back for my brother.

By yourself? Are you nuts?

Who said I'd be alone?

-Isabelle!
-[grunts]

We've already been through this.

[Izzie sighs] Don't overthink it.

[Cooper] And there she goes.

[chirping roar]

[Izzie] See, it's fine.

[Grimspawns growl]

[Zoey] Oh, no.

Uh-oh.

[grunts]

[Night Hunter] I was waiting
for you to do something foolish.

You kids never disappoint.

[Izzie grunts]

-Oh, no, you don't!
-[Zoey gasps]

-[Grimspawns laugh]
-Throw down your hourglasses.

Or the next one doesn't miss.

[Zoey screams]

Cute. Little bandit.

[panting]

[grunts] Ah!

Ugh!

[Cooper] Ah, great.
We're officially surrounded.

Throw down your hourglasses

or say goodbye to the bandit.

[grunts]

-[Mr. Oz] Oh.
-[Zoey] Ugh.

[grunts]

[Mr. Oz breathes heavily]

-[Zoey grunts]
-Do what he says, kids.

[gasps] Gah!

Huh, I guess there is
some sense left in you, old man.

Brats! Surrender your hourglasses.

[Izzie groans]

I'll keep you safe, BunBun.

[Grimspawns laughing]

[Cooper] So, what happens now?

[grunts]

Thanks, buddy.

I gotta say, I like the running
more than I like the falling and drowning.

Whoa.

Hmm. Something's happening over there.

It's too far. I can't make it out.

Oh, no.

They're captured.

-[Logan grunts]
-Ah!

-[Mateo grunts]
-[Logan screams]

[Mateo] Ah!

-[Logan grunts]
-Whoa!

[both screaming]

[both grunt]

You trying to get yourself caught?

[grunting]

[Logan groans]

Slow and steady now.

Back off.

[pants]

Good to see you too, bro.

Wait.

-Logan?
-[scoffs]

-Whaddaya doin? Let go of me.
-Whoa!

So you did take it?

Guess your boss man
was right about something.

They don't need me.

They just need this.

No, what are you...

We came here to rescue you. From them.
What are you doing?

Bro, I'm not the one
who needs rescuing. Clearly.

[Mateo] Whatever.
I don't have time for this.

Really? You two are gonna argue
like two banshees in a bogweevil?

After everything that you...
Hey, where you going?

My friends are out there.

[Sneak] Oh, that's funny.

'Cause this one here said the same thing.

Shoulda woke up after
he got out of the Shadowkeep

but Stinkbrain here
had to make sure you were all safe.

[sighs]

[sighs] You're gonna give this back
to Mr. Oz.

[sighs]

What's the plan?

[Mateo] I don't know.

Every time I dreamcraft out here,
bad things happen.

And then we do a lot of running.

Welcome to my world.

What would you do?

Pfft.

Wait. Are you really askin'?

Bro, all I can do is turn little and blue.

You need something bigger.

Badder.

[Mateo] Hmm...

Bigger and badder, huh?

[Grimspawns growling, laughing]

[Cooper] Guys, trust me, okay?

Once we're stuck in that cage,
we are not waking up.

[Cooper pants]
Oh, I don't want to go back.

We have to do something.

I know, I know.
I'm working on it.

[Zoey] What are you looking for?

-[Mr. Oz] Plan B.
-[Cooper] Running?

When I detonate this,
watch your eyes and...

You had that in your beard?

Yes, yes. Very itchy.

Oh, what else do you got in there?

Get ready to make a break for it.

[Grimspawn 1] Oh! That's pretty.

Give it to me!

Hey, what's that?

I want one! Ah!

-[screams]
-Hey, knock it off.

[Edison b*mb ticking]

-[all gasp]
-Got a plan C in that beard?

[Susan cackles]

Not bad for a night's work, eh?

-[Mateo] Plan B again.
-[Mateo and Logan panting]

[Cooper] No, no, no,
I-I-I'm not getting trapped

in one of those things again. I'm not!

[growls]

[Mateo] Need a hand? Or a wolf?

Hey, boy. Go fetch!

[howls]

[Night Hunter] It's a Grimwolf. Run!

[Grimspawns scream]

[Logan] One for you.
One for you. And one for you.

Let's go.

Okay, I am officially confused right now.

[Grimspawns grunting]

[Izzie screams]

[grunting]

[Night Hunter] Argh,
get back here, you cowards!

Come on, kids. Let's go!

-What?
-See ya around, Hunter.

[laughs] The boss is gonna be so happy!

[cackling]

I bet I'll get a promotion for this
and maybe a parade!

Yes, sir! This here Grimspawn
is moving up in the world!

Huh? Aw, nuts.

[Zoey panting, yelps]

What up, girl?

-Look out!
-That's Logan!

It's Logan!

[grunts]

It is? Really?

Sweet, isn't it? Mr. Oz, I'm...

We're glad to have you with us, Logan.

And this is a welcome bonus.

I'm just glad you're okay, son.

Look out! What is that doing here?

-[Sneak growls]
-Don't attack.

He helped me escape.

Well, you live long enough,
you see everything.

Huh?

All right, all right,
we gotta get back to the ship.

Let your creativity loose!

[Logan] Drive it like you stole it!

[Cooper] Dude, you're small and blue.
Care to explain?

[Logan] No, not really. Just floor it.

[Cooper] Logan, we're in trouble.

What's the use of this lame car
if it just gets stuck?

Ugh. What we need is like
a monster truck or something.

Did I just...?

Did we just...?

[both] Dreambash! Awesome!

[Cooper] Hey! Get in!

[growling and howling]

Go, Bunchu, go!

[Logan laughs]

[Mr. Oz] Be ready for anything.

-I'm out of sand.
-Me too.

Oh, no, where's Albert?

Eh, I always thought
that monkey was pretty sus.

Is it safe to wake up yet?

[Mr. Oz] No, we can't risk it.

If we bring back this many Night Terrors,
Strick will shut us down for sure.

[shrieking]

[Cooper] Then we're trapped here?

Is that...?

[Mr. Oz] It's Albert!

Well, what are you waitin' for?
A six point security clearance?

Whoa, now you don't even clear
the one point check.

Hey, he's rolling with me
back to the landing.

-Any questions?
-Yeah.

Plenty as a matter of fact. But...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, that was exciting, wasn't it?

[screams]

[all scream]

[Mateo] Ah!

No!

No!

[grunts]

Come on, we need to get outta here!

Wait! The hourglass!

[grunts]

[grunts]

Or we can jump out of the ship
and head back down there I guess.

Why not? Great work, everybody.

What the heck are you guys thinking?

What would Logan do?

Heh, what are friends for, Stinkbrain?

[Night Hunter] Argh! Get them!

[Logan] What's that sound?

I think it's... The Edison b*mb!

[Mateo] Shield your eyes!

-[Edison b*mb ticking]
-[growls]

[expl*si*n]

[gasps]

No! Sneak, buddy?

Logan, come on.
We're safe now. We gotta wake up.

[suspenseful music]

Impossible.

Go, Albert. Let's go!

Come on! Ugh!

-[camera shutter clicks]
-I take back

all the bad things I said about you.

Hey, man,

I'm really sorry about your friend.

But we're glad to have you back.
Missed you, bro.

Logan, scoot in closer.

Zoey, you sure you don't want
to be in the shot with us?

Then there would be
photographic evidence she participated.

Can't have that.

Say "sheep"!

Hey!

Come on, cheer up!

Now you can show your moms you're so good,
heh, you can win in your sleep.

I don't think it counts
if I wasn't actually here.

Please. You're part of our team.

And we're all here now.
That's what counts, right?

Let's get lunch.

-[Cooper] Whoo!
-[Mateo laughs]

[sniffles]

-[Logan] Yeah.
-[ominous stinger]

You put an Eye on the Dream Chasers?

No thanks to you.

[inhales deeply]

I try to be patient,

after everything you did
to free me, but...

I didn't help the boy escape.

It was that traitor, Sneak.

This traitor?

How do you think I got an Eye
on the Dream Chasers

in the first place?

And what have you done for me?

The little artiste's green friend!

-What?
-He can cross over.

I watched it happen.

If that blob,
that dream creature, can cross over...

Do you know what this means?

-I can cross over?
-Your Frightfulness,

why focus all your efforts
on reshaping the Dream World...

When I can take over the Waking World

and show everyone a nightmare
they'll never forget.
