01x11 - Dreamers' Block

[bunniefuu]

Eat that.

You want some of this?

You do not want
to mess with me.

Hail to the king, baby.

There is only one king here.

Leaving so soon?

Don't you want to play?

I thought we were just starting
to have some fun.

[screams]

Jayden.

I know Root Fungus is a serious threat

to Cork Tree population worldwide,

but you don't need to get that upset about it.

What's gotten into him?

He is so into cork trees.

Uhh, I don't think that's it.

It looks like everyone
had a rough night.

Oh, it's way more than just one night,

and it's way more than your
run-of-the-mill insomnia.

What do you mean?

I've been talking to everyone

and it turns out we're all having
the exact same nightmare.

We're all seeing these creepy yellow
eye every night.

It's like a real life horror movie.

Are you seeing it too?

Uh yeah sure.

Totally.

I knew it.

Join the Insomniacs!

The insomniacs?

OK, I thought that was a joke.

No joke.

We're dedicated to exposing
the true conspiracy

behind this mind muddling mystery

Our currently most popular theories
are..

Number three, Aliens.

Number 2, the spoiled meatloaf
in the cafeteria last week,

and Number 1..

A shadowy group
of dream agents

who may be operating
under our very noses.

Uhh..

I'd say aliens.

Yeah, definitely aliens.

Bro, this looks just like.

This little guy has popped up
in the dreams of a few people

I've interviewed.

I'm calling it X BLOB, seems
to support Tao's Alien theory,

but hard to say.

Either way.

Don't worry, the insomniacs
won't rest until we uncover the truth.

Hey you! Having bad dreams?

Insomniacs are here to help.

I told you guys we needed
to keep an eye on them.

Get it?

Eye.. Anyway, I told you so.

Oh no.. If she discovers Z-Blob that could cause
some serious problems.

Hey g*ng, from the looks on these faces,

I'm afraid we need to delay
our Sandman expedition.

Something's not right.

Meet me at the landing tonight.

Don't know what it is.

Something's got to be.

Where's Mr Oz?

Uhh, more importantly, what is that?

Yeah.. so we can't get through.

Thanks for the heads up.

So we can't enter the dream realms.

That means we're trapped in here
and Mr Oz can't get to us.

Relax, guys.

At least nothing bad
can happen to us in here.

Let's hang at the landing point tonight

and we'll ask Mr Oz
about it in the morning.

Hey, what's the worst
that could happen?

I just need to wake up.

Ohh, no.

This is one nightmare
you won't be waking from.

Cooper?

Here!

Jayden?

Jayden??

Yesterday, Jayden had a nightmare
in class and today

he didn't show up.

Remind anyone else
of what happened to me?

Maybe the dudes actually just sick.

I heard he's been asleep
the entire day.

Just won't wake up.

I can't wait to tell
the insomniacs about this.

Mr Oz, we went to the landing,
but we couldn't get out.

It was like a...
Force field..

Yes, I know.

Mine too.

Looks like someone doesn't want us poking
around the Nightmare King's plans.

Maybe this is payback
for rescuing Logan.

OK, you guys hang tight.

I'll try and figure something out.

Woah.

What's up with Mr Oz?

He's just cranky because
we can't leave our landings.

Yeah, the Nightmare King's corruption
is spreading pretty quick.

Those Grimspawn patrols
are getting intense, right?

Wait, the what?

Uhh, Grimspawn swarming
every realm right now.

Is that not what we're talking
about here?

Wait, you're still dreaming?

Like you can leave your landing?

Uhh, yes.

Oh, my God.

Zoey, that's it.

You can go to the other side
and see what's blocking us in.

Do what?

Attention all students,
please meet in the auditorium

for an emergency assembly.

Oh, what now?

It's.. uhh.. come to our attention

that many of you are suffering
from disturbing dreams.

I blame social media.

But since your parents won't
let me ban screen time

for all of you, Principal Elrod has

ordered mandatory dream
counselling sessions

during health class instead.

We have to tell them
our dreams?

Yeah, so what?

So what?

Dude, we're secret agents
for the Night Bureau.

We literally go into the Dream World

and fight a guy called
the Nightmare King.

Bro, relax.

Am I the only one here
who knows how to lie?

Just make something up.

It'll be fine.

Well, there was a giant Bunny
and I could ride them, that good?

Can I go now?

Let's see here.

Says here that dream could mean
you're afraid of growing up.

What else?

Robots.

No, uhh.. pirates.

Yeah, pirates.

There's a robot pirate
that's running on a treadmill.

And then I step up the bat
and

the pitch sends a zinger
down low and inside

but what he doesn't know
is that's my sweet spot.

So why clock it over
the left field wall?

And then I was in a cafeteria

And what happened?

Ohh, I was sitting and there
was a teacher talking to me.

At a table?

You mean like I am right now?

Yes, but.

You were a carrot.

And when you say you were on fire,

what part of your body was burning?

Uh..

All of it.

Well, that's not good.

I mean, no.

Just my elbows.

Ohh man, that's even worse.

You know what I keep asking myself?

Who stands to benefit from all this?

Who among us would just love to have
an especially compliant student body, huh?

Who, me?

No?

Then what are you doing
with all those books

about dreams, huh?

Coincidence, I think not.

Then they handed me the World Cup trophy
and Nobel Prize and oscar and a check for a billion dollars.

Then I woke up.

Who knew making up normal dreams
would be so hard?

This is why I never lie.

Come on, we need to find Zoey
and convince her to help us.

I think we missed the boat on that.

Maybe not.

I think I know how to bring her around.

Ugh, this again.

Really?

Tip first, then we talk.

I'm not sure why, but your Dream Bridge is stuck on the Fantasy Realm and sealed from
that side.

Unless we can quickly get someone over to see what's blocking it,

All your schoolmates may be captured
by the Nightmare King.

So you're saying you have no idea what you're sending me into?

Uhh, yeah basically.

Well, we can't just send her
in a loan like that.

Why doesn't she take Z-Blob with her?

What?

No.

No one said anything
about taking Z-Blob.

Excellent idea.

He can enter the dream world
with Zoey.

Yeah no, I'm not babysitting.

Plus, I'm faster on my own.

He'll just slow me down.

Yeah, what she said!

Guys, were you not listening?

All of those kids
are counting on us.

Our friends, all our classmates.

Ugh fine, but I get to poke around
in that closet full of dream gadgets.

That's technically Night Bureau
property, so I can't..

Deal.

Alright, come on, little dude.

I guess you're coming with me.

Nope, no deal.

Not a chance.

I did not agree to this, .

Broseph.

He'll be fine.

What if Coop was still
trapped over there?

Or me.

We gotta help all those kids.

You wouldn't just leave Coop..

Or me!

Fine.

He likes this story
before bedtime,

oh, and if he stays your furniture,

just use a little dish soap.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

Mateo, I got it.

They grow up so fast.

So this is unexpected.

On your way to a dream date
with a ball of snot.

You sure know how to pick them,
Zoey.

Well, at least you don't talk much.

And just so we're clear,
you sleep on the floor.

Zian, would you knock it off?

I don't care if he took
your food, spit him out.

No, Zian.

Not this time.

You're too big and the skies
are full of Grimspawn.

You stay here, OK?

We'll be fine.

Albert?

What are you doing here?

Your teacher may be
trapped in his landing,

but this here cowpoke suffers no such indignities.

I'm the half of Oz

that's mostly dream.

And I'm here to help.

Why? I'm not a tour guide.

Well, for one, I brought this.

A walkie-talkie.

A dreamy screamy actually, allows us
to communicate

from anywhere in the dream world.

Your friends should have
the other one at their landing.

Hello?

Can you guys hear me?

Anyone?

Well, thanks a lot
for the big help.

Now I've got to get going.

The sky is full of Grimspawn.

It's going to take me forever
to get to that busted dream gate.

Can't have you both slowing me down.

Oh really?

I guess, we'll see who gets there first,
then, won't we?

Darn straight.

OK, fine, but we're taking my shortcut.

Well, I think I'll turn in.

We got an early start tomorrow,
right Iz?

Oh right.

Yeah, we got to go.

Ohh, no, not tonight.

I heard from your school today.

They told me all about the dreams
you've been having

and what they might mean.

I don't think they mean anything.

They're just dreams.

No, no, no.

That's where you're wrong.

They explained everything they said

both of you have been feeling
very neglected lately.

So tonight I have decided that we're going
to stay up super late

for a family movie night.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

No, really Dad, that's not.

No buts, I am all hands on deck now.

You won't be able
to get rid of me.

Alright, go get a seat
while I pop the popcorn.

Ohh man, who ever heard
of a parent forcing their kids

to not go to bed?

Coop, it's Teo, you gotta help?

My dad won't let us go to sleep
because of those fake dreams.

Dude, my mom barricaded the doors

because the school told her
I wanted to run away.

She's calling in my brothers
for a family intervention.

Logan, it's Mateo.

Dude, I'm on my way to Queens.

My moms think I'm afraid
of heights now,

so we're staying on my
cousin's ground floor apartment.

I can't fall asleep
on that busted couch.

What are we going to do?

I've got another idea!

Ugh, if we were taking my shortcut,

we'd be there by now.

Could you get off me already.

Looks like the Nightmare King's
moving in.

It's getting to be like this
all over the dream world.

We'll have to find a way around.

That'll take hours.

Come on.

Are you Oz's dream creature?

Where's your sense
of adventure?

Ohh, no.

I embody precisely half of Oswald's
personality in the dream world.

The reasonable half, and I say we go around.

You're up, chimp.

You're a chicken.

No, wait, look out for that.

OK, yeah, maybe the logical half
of Ozzy's brain

should leave for a while.

Ohh, don't fall asleep now.

This is the best part.

Plus guys, we gotta finish the Oni Trilogy

and then we're on to the next season.

Tons of quality family time.

Delivery.

That's weird, I didn't order anything.

Yeah, your neighbours accidentally
doubled their order.

What is it?

Extra large helping of
Thanksgiving Turkey,

warm glass of milk,

and chamomile tea.

It's all paid for,
and nobody else

is going to want this order,

so you should just take it.

Well, OK.

Thank you.

Family time.

Your shadiness, the Blob
and Oz's pet have been spotted.

I know.

I'm leading a battalion there now.

I'll inform you when we have
the little Dream Creature.

Take my steed, there's no time to lose
and capture that girl too.

The girl poses no threat.

I don't want anything
getting in our way now.

Understood?

Finally, where have you guys been?

Zoey, do you read me?

Are you there? Over.

Is Z-Blob there?

Is he OK?

Over.

Zoey, do you read me?

What took you so long?

Well, it's actually
a funny story.

We don't have time for that Iz.

Zoey, are you at the gate?

Can you hear me?

Do you see what's blocking it? Over.

Yeah, we just got here.

I think we found the problem.

Hang on.

Well, isn't that a dream team?

Bring me the Blob
and the ape.

I will deal with the girl.

Keep working on that debass.

Z-Blob, You're with me.

We'll try and hold them off.

Ohh Spitfire, why didn't
I bring a blaster?

Good.

Grimspawn don't belong in trees.

Chimpanzees do.

Go little buddy.

Now that's a k*ll shot.

You said there was a glowing
white bulb, right?

That sounds like pretty
basic electronics.

It should be the power source.
All the way at the back,

there should be some kind
of antenna.

What wire?

There's so many of them
going all over the place,

It should be bigger than the rest.

Look for that.

Z-Blob okay? Tell us what's going on.

We are in a pickle.

Hurry up.

What's taking so long?

I can't get
the wire to break, it won't budge.

And if I can't get this door open
I am Grimspawn chow.

Yes, the doors open.

Z-BLOB!

Come on, ZoeY.

What are you waiting for?

Go help zoey.

I'll hold him off by myself.

Z-BLOB?

You did it.

Z-Blob!

You made it.

Zoey, you were freaking awesome.

There were like a bajillion Grimspawn behind you
and and you kept your cool like ice cold.

Albert.

Where's Albert?

What are you doing?

I have to get Albert, I left him behind.

It's too dangerous.

Look, if you open that gate again,
you'll get captured too.

I thought you said you couldn't get this wire cut.

I didn't.

The Night Hunter missed me
and the arrow split it.

On accident?

Well, that was lucky.

What? You think he did it on purpose?

That's crazy.

Bro, seriously, why would that dude bust
the lock his boss put on the gate?

That's just it.

This lock didn't come
from the Nightmare King.

This is.

Night Bureau Tech.

Coach Jeffries, I'd like
to introduce myself.

I'm Doctor Celia Strick,

a clinical psychologist
who works with the school district.

I didn't hear nothing
about any specialists,

but boy, am I glad they sent you.

These nightmares
are getting totally out of control.

Yes, that's precisely
why I'm here.

Perhaps we can start with this.

Please tell me absolutely everything
your students have been saying about this.
