02x68 - House of Speculation

[bunniefuu]

We don't have time for this.

You have 24 hours.

After that, Trudy will pay the price.

And so will you.

The figurines are still in the entrance hall.

Great.

But the riddle doll definitely isn't.

So that must mean They're pointing at something else.

But what?
- Osiris.


- Gesundheit.

No, look.

It's right there on the chart.

Remember that old mosaic that was in the hall? That's of osiris.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's really awful.

And look, osiris is right opposite sarcophagus.

Which means he is locked in stone, Like a mosaic.

Why didn't I think of this sooner? Don't worry about that.

Let's just go get it.

I am deciphering as fast as I can.

I know.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Our students have shown unusual resolve.

They are a stubborn bunch.

They have no place in this.

I mean, they've barely graduated from playing with toys.

Glass eye.

You see, the symbol denotes a doll, Which I took to be "child's toy," Which, coupled with the eye, I took to mean a marble, But Robert liked to trip people up with their academia.

Obviousness was his favorite trick.

Well, so it's actually a doll's eye.

The doll.

It's gone.

Oh, dear.

Everything okay? You're looking a bit frazzled.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just, um, I'm looking for my Phone.

Toothbrush.

Shoes.

Right.

Well, I'll look out for all those things.

Come on, Patricia.

Um, I'll be down in a minute.

I'll help.

I hate losing things.

We'll take it from here, Joy.

Okay.

Sure.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So what's up? I think we found one of our reflectors.

Do remember that ugly green mosaic? Oh, yeah.

It was awful.

Wha what do you mean "was"? Well, Trudy got rid of it, remember? She hated it.


- It's gone?
- Oh, no.


- That was sloppy.


- I'm doing my best.

Well, your best isn't good enough.

Just tell me you still have the doll.


- Yes, but
- Where is it? Over there.

Hey.

Hey.

So a little birdie told me.

That you're looking for a mosaic picture thingy.

That used to hang up in the hall? Who told you that? A little birdie.

Guess what? I think I know where it is.


- Really?
- Mm
-hmm.

Come with me.

Come on.

Okay.


- Hey, yacker, skepti
-maniac.

Listen to this.

Turn the light on! Yeah.

What? What's that? Biggest story this school has ever seen.

What? In my head, it was here.

Joy, if all this is just because you want to hang out, Why don't you just ask? Oh, yeah.

I spend entire lessons.

Dreaming up cunning new ways.

Just to spend a few minutes with you.

Get over yourself, fabes.

I'm sorry.

My bad.

Look, I swear I knew where it was.

I'm trying to help you.

I know, and I'm grateful.

Anyway, you of all people.

Should know what it's like to forget stuff.

Like your oldest friend, for example.

Yeah look, I'm sorry.

I wasn't myself.

What's that supposed to mean?
- I
-I don't know.

I just I just wasn't well.

I could never forget who you are.

Really? Yeah, really.

Look, let's try something.

Okay, relax for a second.

We're gonna play a game designed to jog your memory.


- Okay.


- All right?
- Yes.


- Ready? Train.

Tracks.


- Music.


- Dance.


- Ball.


- Throw.


- Stick.


- Dog.


- Frog.


- Ribbit.


- Rabbit.


- Bunsy bun.


- Mosaic.


- Library.


- Yes!
- Hey, it worked.

You're amazing, fabes.


- I'm not amazing.


- Mmm.

So it's in the library.

Let's go.

Come on, let's go get it.

I'm telling you, we can leave the camera in the living room, But I don't think we're gonna get anything.

But we heard her voice in there.

Did we? It came from through the floor.

You think she lives in the cellar? Well, that's where I'd live.

If I was dead and stuck between two worlds.

You? Haven't given it that much thought.

But we haven't got another video camera.


- We'll do it in person.


- How? We'll just sneak down when Victor Stokes the furnace.

Feel bad to the bone?
- Uh
-huh.

Embrace it, Mara.

She just whacked him all playful.

Did you see that? This whole tragedy might have been avoided.

Had you not broadcast his secret geek identity.

To the entire school.

Uh, guys, I think we have bigger problems here, Like the whole school knowing about the senkhara thing.

That's a matter of opinion.

Relax.

It's probably nothing.


- Thank you so much.


- Oh, okay.

Oh, you're welcome.

Relax.

It's probably nothing.

Guys, you will never guess what? You figured out new, cruel ways.

To play with Nina's emotions.

What No.

No, Joy's helping me.

Us.

She found the mosaic.

It's in the library.

So where is it? I couldn't get it.

Not with Joy so close.

And and and all the exhibition visitors.

We have to go in after closing to get it.

How? It's gonna be all locked up.

The secret passage.

Truth time.

I know Vera's involved.


- Jerome, what are you
- No more lies.

I was there.

I know she's involved.

Yes, Vera is involved.

But she's not the collector.


- Do you know who he is?
- No.

And there's nothing I can do about Vera, Not while the collector's got Trudy.

We need that Dollhouse.

I'm afraid that if we don't get it You'll have it.

Everybody got their amulets?
- We are amu
-loaded.

And Amber, you remembered to lock away the Dollhouse, right? Right? Absolutely.

Of course.

It's way locked.

Great.

Shall we?
- The library it is.


- Let's get that mosaic.

Are you sure you want to do this? Not even a little bit.

Are you? Yeah.

And your fear of the dark? Not as important as journalistic success.

Right.

Now pull yourself together.

Come on.

Okay? Second thoughts? What are we doing? Well, I mean, You're trying to get back on the website, And I'm trying to prove I'm not my dad.


- Let's set up.


- Okay.

"try England," my dad said.

"you'll love boarding.

" Guess he forgot to mention the local she
-demon.

Are you sleepy? No.

Can I ask you something? What? Do you really think Patricia did it on purpose? I don't know.

What do you think? No way.

Bingo.

Let's go! Come on.

The mosaic's up here.

That tunnel's a health and safety nightmare.

If it wasn't a secret, I'd complain.

I have allergies, you know.

It's not there.

Well, spread out.

It's got to be here somewhere.

Okay, you two take upstairs.

Um, remind me, what's this mosaic look like again?
- It's green, mosaic
-y.


- And kind of tacky.

Guys, I've got it! Three reflectors out of six.

Careful.

Easy does it.

Yeah, 'cause we wouldn't want to break it, What with it being so very, very pretty.

We got it.

Can we go now? It's like being surrounded by homework.

Oh, Nina, can you take it? Yeah.

What is it? Fabian? Are you okay? It's Jasper's ushabti This is supposed to be halfway across the country.

Do you think Jasper lied to me? Hey! What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What was that? I don't know.

Here.

What is it? What do you see? A cellar.

That's it.

I saw something Something Something pale, nocturnal, and likes to walk through walls? Yeah.

What is it? I think we just found our spook.

But I don't believe in ghosts.

Yeah, you made that perfectly clear.

The way you just screamed and hid.

Hey, cheer up.

We've only got another five hours in here.

Until Victor does his morning rounds.

Amber? Hey, bring away the artificial light bulb.

Amber, do you notice anything different? Oh, I always get this wrong.

Did you straighten your hair? No, look! Nina, there's nothing there.

Exactly! The Dollhouse is gone.

What? It's my fault for leaving the wardrobe unlocked.

Don't blame yourself.

I rushed you.

Okay.

What, it's gone as in stolen gone? Do you think Victor has something to do Vera, she's evil, remember? Probably snuck in while we were sleeping.

Like some sort of ninja.

Breakfast is ready.

That's not the only disaster from last night.

Don't forget Eddie and Mara snapping that photo.

Of the ghost of Amber.

Oh, I'm sure they haven't got anything, Otherwise we would have heard about it.

Check it out.

Proof of the ghost of anubis.


- Can I see?
- Yeah.

I think we have enough evidence now.

To go with the story.

Yeah, yeah, people eat up this kind of bologna.

It's not bologna.

I mean, the article will present.

Both the believer and the skeptic's point of view.

Okay, but just not too much of the skeptic's view.

It kind of just makes it seem a bit "meh," you know? I want people to believe this.

Give me an angle.

Do you even know what that means? Yes.

Stories need angle.

I need an angle, so give me an angle, And then I put it out there.

An angle.

An angle.

They are really getting on my nerves now.

What are we gonna do about them? I know.

If Joy publishes, it's gonna bring.

A world of attention to what we're doing.

Not them, Mara and Eddie And the article, of course.

Worry not.

Amber and I have a cunning plan.

Really? Yeah.

They don't have an article.

If they don't have the pictures, do they? So we're gonna destroy them.

Ooh, I like it.

Bring them down.

And can you break them up while you're at it? No, the pictures.

We're gonna put a virus on Eddie's computer.

We're calling it "operation quick server.

"
- Why?
- Because it sounds cool.

Well, you better be quick.

Before they come up with an angle.

Yes?
- I've got what you want.


- Excellent.

You're proving yourself useful after all, Jasper.

Bring it to the heath at 4:00.

Be waiting with Trudy.

Excuse me? I'm not bringing it unless you bring her.

That's final.

No Trudy, no Dollhouse.

That's not Yes? Do not hang up on me again.

I will give you Trudy, but you pull any more surprises, And you'll pay for it with her life.

How much of that did you hear? Enough to know you can't do this on your own.

Angle.

Who does she think she is? Uh, the editor? I was being rhetorical.

Okay, come here.

This is the still of the bid footage, okay?
- Mm
-hmm.


- And here's the ghost.

Yeah, so? We've been here.

Ah, no, we haven't been here.

I res
-ed it out.

Here, take a look.

There.

What is that? Do I have to do all the work? I suppose it looks a bit like a
- Uh
-huh? A bit like a Hey, Eddie.

Can I borrow your lappy? I need to check my profile.

Yeah.

Can't you just use the mirror, though? I'm British.

I don't get your jokes, Eddie.

You forgot your password? Uh, it's private.

Right.

Okay, I'm gonna need it back now because Uh, status.

You can't rush a status update.

Just one typo can cause major fallout.

Right.

Come on, Amber.

Done.

Thanks, Eddie.

Yeah, sure.

Yes! Oh! I knew it.

Look.

The crown of the unknown ruler? "ghost haunts local exhibition!" There's our angle.

Yes! I can't see Trudy.

Trudy! Where's Trudy? What's going on? Where's Trudy? You promised! We had a deal! We had no deal.

You came up with those terms.

I did not.

You need reminding about who's in charge here.

No.

It can't be!
