02x03 - Sound of Sirens

[bunniefuu]

-[eerie music]
-[wind howling]

-[car engine revving]
-[tires screeching]

Step on it, Mr. Oz!

That thing flies faster
than a subway mouse!

Mateo! We don't have a clear
visual on the incursion yet.

It's a slippery one,
but we'll get it.

Have you located the
rift in the Dream World?

We have! Just chase it through,
and we will handle the rest.

Have you found
the rift on your side?

And... got it!

It's in an alleyway
on Fourth Street.

Can you tell us
what we're dealing with?

Is it a Night Terror,
a Grimspawn?

Nope, Stink Brain!
It's something else.

It's got a very
strange signature.

Maybe it's one of
those thieving ravens.

That's a negative, Izzie.
Too big to be a raven,

but it isn't anything we've
seen in Brooklyn before.

-[car engine revving]
-[tires screeching]

[car engine malfunctioning]

[car engine halts]

Ah, come on, ol' Sputnik!
Don't die on me now.

More like Kaputnik! [laughs]

This is no laughing
matter, Logan.

We are dealing with yet
another class 4 anomaly.

This does not bode well for us.

What are anomaly classes
one through three?

-Can I get a guide?
-Uh, can I?

I know I put this
thing together,

but now I can hardly
tell what it is!

[car engine lurches]

-[tires screeching]
-[passengers screaming]

[groans] Oh, come on!

[car ignition hesitates]

Well, look at the bright side!

[chuckles]
The rift is right there.

This is our chance!
Ready those Lumi-Casters.

[Sirens chanting]

Yo! I know that tune.

-[car engine revs]
-[car thuds]

-[Siren chanting]
-[cans rattling]

-[Siren growls]
-[squad screams]

[gasps] A Siren! What's a
Siren doing here in Brooklyn?

Ah!

Light her up! Back
into the rift!

-[Lumi-Casters discharging]
-[Siren groans]

Not tonight, songbird!

-[Lumi-Casters discharging]
-[Siren groans]

[Mr. Oz] Mateo! Zoey!

It's coming through!
It's a Siren!

What?

[Siren chanting]

-[Siren screams]
-[heroes scream]

[Siren screeches]

-It's bailing!
-We can't let it get away!

You gotta get it back
to the Murky Realm.

On it. Teo!

I fly. You rein it in.

[intense music]

[Siren whooshes]

-[gadget explodes]
-[Mateo grunts]

Ugh! Gross!

Yeah, not what I had in mind.

We'll make the best of it.

-[rope whooshing]
-[Siren shrieking]

Got it.
Let's go!

That's weird.

Are you sure we're
in the right place?

Positive!

-[radio squelch]
-[Mr. Oz] Well?

Did you release the Siren
back into the Murky Realm?

Not exactly.

What do you mean?
What happened?

There is no Murky Realm.

It's gone.

-[rope retracts]
-[Siren shrieks]

[opening theme music playing]

[Royce] Why would you wake me
up at this hour, Oswald?

Why don't you come see
me at Castle Nocturnia?

You know perfectly well
I'm busy

overseeing the restorations.

This is highly irregular.

My sincerest apologies, sir.

We've had a situation
to deal with.

[screen whirs]

-[hologram whirs]
-Go on.

Well, first off, there
was another incursion.

But don't worry.
We handled it.

The thing is,
it was a Siren.

A Siren? In the Waking World?

Siren's aren't your
typical dream creature.

They never leave
the Murky Realm!

That's just the thing, sir.

When my agents
went to return it,

well, there was no Murky Realm.

That can't be!
Dream Realms

don't just
go missing like that!

I'm afraid it's true, sir.

This is dire.

Dire? Of course it's dire.

If the Murky Realm is gone,

Sirens may run rampant
across the Dream World,

and you know their appetite.

And what about the Sandman?
Where's he?

I was thinking
the exact same thing, sir.

If the Sandman is missing,

we may get a lot more
troubled dreamers.

Terrible. First the NeverWitch
escapes, and now this.

My Dream Chasers will
find the NeverWitch.

-We'll get out...
-You'll do nothing except

keeping your district clean,
Agent Oswald.

Rest assured, I will get
to the bottom of this.

-[hologram whirs]
-[Mr. Oz groans]

-[playful music]
-[pan sizzling]

[sniffs] Mmm,
are you making pancakes?

I sure am!

And I'm packing your
favorite lunches

with extra pickles for Izzie.

Wait. You haven't even seen our
report cards. What gives?

Yeah, the last time you made
pancakes was like never.

Okay, uh, I, uh,

wanted to ask, uh...

Come on, Pop,
you can ask us anything.

We love you no matter what.

I was thinking maybe you
guys would like to meet me

at Dumbo Park after school?

For like a picnic?
[gasps] Sounds awesome!

Like, just the three of us?

Um, no.

-And my girlfriend.
-Girlfriend?

Ah! I totally forgot about
Dad's girlfriend! [chuckles]

-Did you say "girlfriend"?
-We'll be there!

Great! It really
means a lot to me.

I mean, Jasmin is really nice,

-and I...
-[timer dings]

So, yeah, I would really
like the four of us to...

Hey!

Come on, Izzie.
We're gonna be late.

Ah!

-[door opens and closes]
-[Jose sighs]

[Jose] I'll call you!

I can't believe I forgot
Dad has a girlfriend!

What else have I forgotten?

Did I forget to visit
my horse at the stables?

We definitely do
not have a horse.

And you didn't forget
that Dad has a girlfriend

because that's new.

Dad has a girlfriend!

What? It's awesome!

Jasmin sounds nice.

What about Mom?
He's giving up on Mom!

[sighs] Look, Teo,

Mom and Dad haven't been
together in a long time.

I hated it
when Mom moved away,

so I'm right there with you,
but we have to accept it.

And Dad deserves to be happy.

It could be a lot worse.

How can anything
be worse than this?

[school bell ringing]

[Zoey] Well, the last time
I saw the NeverWitch

was at the Shadowkeep.

I say we hit that up first.

Yeah! We can set up a trap!

I'll create a distraction and...

Ah, no, no, no, too risky.

Without your
dreamcrafting abilities,

you wouldn't know
how to save yourself,

or anyone else,
for that matter.

Besides, we have explicit orders
to focus on Brooklyn only.

More incursions may happen,
and we need to be ready for 'em.

I have to be able
to help somehow.

All in due time, Isabel.

[school bell rings]

All right, kids, let's pick
this up later. Get out of here!

[Sirens chanting]

It's that song from last night!

Does that mean...

-[Sirens chanting]
-[Sirens whooshing]

[Mateo] Sirens!

We are not ready for this!

[frantic music]

[gasps] Now there are
incursions during the day?

This must be the product
of a Day Dreamer.

Oh, right! Daydreams.

We know everything about dealing

with a situation
like that, right?

Uh, nope!

This is bad!

There hasn't been a daytime
incursion in decades.

Someone must be having
a very intense daydream,

probably a result of
the Sandman going missing.

So this is gonna keep happening?

People are gonna keep
dreaming and opening rifts

during the day now,
or am I getting this wrong?

Unfortunately, you're not.

It must be stopped,
or the entire school

and all of Brooklyn
could be in danger!

-Oh, is that all?
-Well, what are they after?

Back in the Murky Realm
they kept trying to grab us,

but luckily we never
had to see why.

[groans]
Sirens like to feast.

They're here to eat? What?

Oh! Ew. Yeah,
that's definitely worse.

We have to make sure the
Sirens don't get near people.

That'll be tough.

Anyone who hears their
song will be drawn to them.

Hey, my music
saved us last time,

and I remember my sick beats,

so I'll just
save us all again.

Everyone,
take a Dreamy-Screamy.

We'll need to find
the Day Dreamer

and keep a watchful eye.

If the Day Dreamer wakes,
the rift will close

and we will have no way
to return the Sirens.

Oh! We should get some
Lumi-Casters from your car!

Take a look around, Cooper!
It's broad daylight!

Lumi-Casters will
have no effect.

-We'll need to improvise.
-Okay.

Don't get eaten alive,
improvise. Anything else?

Keep the Sirens
away from people.

Logan, you can try to
blast them with your music,

and I'll try and locate the rift

so we can get them back
to the Dream World.

Stick to the plan
and stay ready on comms.

And cover your ears!
Don't listen to their song!

Okay, Zoey and I
will lure the Sirens.

Coop and Izzie,
find that Day Dreamer.

-Roger that!
-Easy-peasy, greasy!

Logan, get to
the school's PA system.

Get ready to make some noise.

Sweet! I'll blow up the PA
system with my sick beats!

Not too soon. We don't want
to wake the Day Dreamer

until we get the Sirens
through the rift.

Wait for my signal.

Chickety-check-check!

Let's do this!

[phone ringtone ringing]

Hi, Dad. Can this wait?
Now's not a good time.

Yeah, son. I just wanted
to check if you're alright.

You seemed a bit
upset this morning.

-I'd like to talk...
-Not now, Dad! Gotta go.

[Mateo sighs]

Um...

Nothing. That was nothing.

Let's roll out.

[energetic music]

[Day Dreamer snoring]

-Found him!
-Found her!

[Day Dreamers snoring]

Wait! I found
two more sleepers.

Found three more!

Well, this plan
is a big fail.

There are several
kids sleeping here.

We can't tell which
one is the Day Dreamer

that opened the rift.

[Mr. Oz] This is worse
than I thought.

Sounds like
the Sandman's absence

is already taking its toll.

More Day Dreamers
means more rifts.

We'll have a full-blown
daytime incursion on our hands

if we don't move fast.

-[energetic music continues]
-[Siren chanting]

[Siren whooshes]

Siren, 12 o'clock,
headed towards the library.

Just one.
They must have split up.

This is gonna be tricky.

[Siren whooshing]

-[Zoey chuckles]
-[Siren chanting]

We've got to get it
out of here.

-What?
-We've gotta get it out of here!

-What?
-We've gotta get it out of here!

I'll get the Siren's attention.

Oh, no.

[Siren chanting continues]

-[Zoe grunts]
-[book whooshes]

-[book thuds]
-[Siren chanting stops]

Shh!

[chuckles]
I just love books.

Do you have
Way of the Departed?

[mysterious music]

Hey, these are pretty
good headphones!

[Siren whooshing]

[scary music]

[books thud]

[scary music crescendos]

-[Zoey grunts]
-[punch connects]

[Zoey panting]

[Zoey] Ah!

Do you have a book
about zombies?

I just love zombies.

Hey! That kid's eating
his lunch in the library!

[scary music ends]

[Siren shrieks]

[calm music]

[sniffs]
Mmm! Taco day!

-[eerie music]
-[Sirens whooshing]

[chuckles] Oh, snap!

DJ Loganator in the house!

Ha! Yeah!

Ready to drop some beats!

Say the word, Lunchbox!

We're not ready yet,
Loganator. Stand by.

[unfamiliar door
opens and closes]

Zoey, where are you?

[items rattling]

Ah!

Hey, Dallas. Cool beanie!

My knitting is taking
off like wildfire.

I'm completely sold out!

Oh, that's too bad. I was
hoping to get one of those.

Later! Well, at least Dallas
isn't our Day Dreamer.

-[phone ringtone rings]
-[Mateo groans]

Kinda busy, Dad.

-Can this wait?
-I know, I know.

I wanna ask you again to
meet us at the park today.

I think you're gonna
really like Jasmin.

-She's...
-Look, Dad,

-I don't have time for this.
-Teo! Come on!

I know you don't wanna face it,
but your mother and I...

Dad, I'm not coming to the park.

Maybe you wanna replace Mom,
but I don't.

Mateo, that's not fair.
You can't...

-[Siren roars]
-Ah!

[Jose] Teo, Teo?
What's that sound?

-Teo?
-Gotta go.

Hey, don't hang up on...

-Ah!
-Whoa. Found another one!

-[Zoey] What?
-[Mateo heavily panting]

Good idea.

I said I found another one!

Yeah, I see that!

Oh, hey, we've got
the other four.

Where?

[both] Cafeteria!

[Sirens grunting]

-[Sirens whooshing]
-[Sirens chanting]

Ah!

What? [yelps]

Whoa!

-[Sirens whooshing]
-[Sirens grunting]

Uh, guys, I think
these things worked up

an appetite for middle
schoolers. We're toast.

[food tray thuds]

[worker groans]

That's it!
They're here to feast.

Let's feed them.

Spicy jalapeno
poppers comin' in hot!

[Siren yells]

Go! Move, now!

This serving is to go!

[Siren roars]

It's working!
Keep feeding them.

Ah, keep running!

[Zoey] We're running low
on snacks here!

Mr. Oz, we've got 'em!
All six of them.

But we're running
out of time... and food.

Where should we go?

Meet me
in front of the school.

Remember, do it quietly!

-[heroes grunting]
-[Sirens whooshing]

Ah! [grunts]

-[cart thuds]
-[Sirens groaning]

Ah!

-[punches connect]
-"Siren-ara," Sirens! [laughs]

Ah!

-Hurry, kids!
-Go, go, go, go!

-[car engine malfunctioning]
-Wait, what?

[Mr. Oz]
Oh, no, no, no, no!

Mrs. C's truck! Come on!

Here, catch! It has the
coordinates for the rift on it.

Izzie, stay here with me.

[Izzie] Ah!

[Sirens grunting]

I take it you need a ride?

You got it, Mrs. C.
Just got an order!

There's a, a bunch of
hungry kids on a field trip

down at, uh, south.

-Go!
-Oh!

Sounds like good business.

[speaks Spanish]
Vamos, Señor Tortuga!

[van horn honking]

Niños,exactly
where are we going?

Coop!
What are the coordinates?

Ah, I can't figure out
how to turn this thing on.

Dude, what gives?

I just can't figure it out!
Okay?

[groans] Sorry, Dad.

Gimme that! Here, Mrs. C.

The place we're going to...

Yes, mijo?

...is in Dumbo Park!

Oh, no. Dad.

Oh! Then we must go north.

[tires screeching]

New York traffic.
So rude! No consideration.

[perplexing music]

[car engine lurching]

You need to hurry.

The tear is still open,
but no telling for how long!

-[intense music]
-[Zoey] Floor it, Mrs. C!

The field trip kids
are right in there.

What are they doing?
No, no, no!

[speaks Spanish] Dios mio...
Such pretty colors!

I think I've been here before.

-[Sirens roaring]
-Ah!

Hit the brakes!

[Sirens thudding]

-[Zoey sighs]
-Whoo!

The Fantasy Realm?
Sirens don't belong here.

Well, they have to be
somewhere, don't they?

I've lived all over the place.

Maybe they can make
a new kind of home.

Hopefully, they don't
eat anyone, though.

Hey, Mrs. C,
can we back up a bit?

I think we overshot.

Okay, g*ng, get out! Get out!

You do not wanna
get stuck in there!

Logan! It's party time!

Logan!
Gonna let the beat drop.

Oh, yeah!

[speedy techno music]

Dang!
I actually like this one.

Ravens! Two o'clock!

[ravens cawing]

-[rift whirring]
-[intense music]

[ravens cawing]

[pan thuds]

Memory-stealing ravens.
Okay, uh...

Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, if I do one thing
right today, please be this.

-[launcher discharges]
-[raven groans]

I hit it!
I actually hit it!

[rift whirring]

Oh, no! It's closing.

Mrs. C! Hit it!

I did it!
I tagged a raven.

We can track it right
back to our memories,

and I can have
my skills again!

Seems like you do
have a bit of skill,

you crackshot, you!

Oh, I thought I'd lost you!

Never go through
a rift like that.

Promise?

[Mateo sighs]

[soft pleasant music]

That should be Mom.

Hey, we figured out life
after Mom moved.

We can figure this out too,
you and me together,

unless we have
a third sibling I forgot.

Now, you're doing
this on purpose.

But what if?

And I just forgot
all about it? [chuckles]

Come on, let's go
make Dad happy.

Izzie!
I'm so glad you came.

Mateo! [chuckles]

Hi, Dad!
Wouldn't miss it.

Sorry for ghosting you.
We've had kind of a crazy day.

Hey, you know I can't...

I mean, I would never
want to replace your mom.

I know. We're all just
figuring it out, right?

Hi!

Jasmin, these are my niños.

Mateo and Izzie!
So glad to meet you.

Jose has told me
everything about you.

I hear you are
quite the artist.

-I would love to see some.
-How 'bout tomorrow?

I'll make us dinner,
the four of us!

But first, let's all
have an ice cream.

[relaxing music]

This is good business,

but I am not so sure

you were completely honest
with me, amiga.

Sorry, Mrs. C.
I'll make it up to you.

Whew, that could
have gone better.

Yeah, but at least I did
one thing right today.

I say it's time to go
raven and witch hunting!

-[intense music]
-[raven cawing]

[closing theme music playing]

[music continues]
