02x79 - House of Phantoms

[bunniefuu]

Fabian What do I do now!
- Nina!
- Ahh! No! Where did she go? Nina? Nina! Can you hear us? Nina! Can you hear us? Where is she now? Can I get off the board? I don't know.

Fabian Oh, what have I done? What have I done? Look, Fabian, it's not your fault, okay? Okay, you just need to focus and tell us what to do.

All right.

Okay, um Fabian Everyone, retrace your steps.

I can't remember.

Amber, uh, shift to your left.

And then back down the side of the board.

My warnings ignored, now count the cost.

Continue the task, and all will be lost.

But if fallen friends you wish to reclaim, you have no choice but to finish the game.

If we carry on, we lose everyone, but If we don't, we lose Nina forever.

Wherever she is, she must be okay.

Otherwise, why would the message say "reclaim" her? It doesn't mean she'll be back in one piece, though.

Way to spin it, Alfie.

What? We can't do this anymore, not without Nina.

It's finished.

No! Wake up, wake up, wake up.

The chosen one has failed.


- Ahh!
- What is happening? No! Stop! If you harm us, you'll never get the mask! We'll get her back! Just just think about what you're doing! I promise.

We just need more time! Find her Before ra crosses the sky thrice over, or it is finished, just as you say.

Three days We have three days.

Why didn't she just say that? Not only is she scary, but she's really annoying.

Okay.

I hardly slept All night.

Me neither.

Alfie, how can you possibly eat at a time like this? I always eat when I'm scared Or nervous or traumatized or Happy, come to that.

Or any day with a "y" in it.

Where's Nina? I have a message for her from hospital.

Apparently, her gran had a bit of a bad night.

Is she all right? Yep, she's stable, but they would like Nina to go in.

Well? Amber? Um, Nina'sNina's Nina's already gone to the hospital.


- Already?
- Yeah.

She got a text from hospital really early this morning.

She left you this letter.

Hmm.

Oh, she should have cleared this with me first.

I am going to have to consult with Victor about this.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Well done.

Come on.

We've got Sibuna to save.

Hey, yacker, want me to make you.

Eddie's famous breakfast stack? Sure.

I'll see you at lunch.

She's crazy about me.

It's kind of embarrassing.

I say we go back down there and play the game again.

If we win, we get Nina back.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If we lose, someone else disappears.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Tell them, Fabian.

We have to go and play the game again, right? No.

No, no, no, no.

Not not yet.

No, I need more practice.

If we get one more move wrong And we've got less people now.

That'll make it much harder to cross the board.

Much harder.

I can't believe you're all.

Giving up on Nina like this Especially you, Fabian.

I will never give up on Nina.

Never! Look, we have to be sure about this, because I can't lose anyone else! Tea? Ahh.

Thank you.

Hmm.

You still haven't told me.

What alarmed you so much last night.

It was her The spirit we saw in the dream, the one who gave you that.

You know, the girl, Nina Martin, she has one also.


- Really?
- Mm.


- You know she's disappeared.


- What? She left me a letter, said she was going to stay.

With some relatives who live near the hospital.

To be close to her grandmother.

As far as I'm aware, she has no other relatives over here.

Do you want me to check it out? No No, if she's safely out of the way, then so much the better for us.

What is it about that girl? She makes you nervous, decidedly nervous.

She is a potential thr*at, and if she wants to go and visit her grandmother, then who are we to stand in her way? Hmm? Hmm.

All I'm saying is that if you carry on.

Treating him like that, you could end up losing him.

Mara, that's just the way we talk to each other.

Trust me.

He likes it.

I saw his face, remember, after you left the room.

Why? What did it look like? You know the face you pull when you're drinking coffee.

And it's actually tea and it's cold.

And there's no sugar in it? No.

Well, it was like that.

All that banter stuff was okay.

As a part of, you know, the Chase, but now you're a couple, it's time to start acting like one.

Hey, chief.

What you doin'? Lookin' out for number one.

"Student blogger of the year.

" Did you Enter Mara's article?
- Nope.


- Cool.

I mean, I'm cool with the school knowing, but I'm not so crazy about the whole "sweetie junior" thing going global.

I'm the editor of the jackal, and I decide which article to submit, and I choose Mine.

Just made the deadline.

Hi.

Hey? I've been thinking.

How do you feel about taking up a shared interest? Uh, like what? Like Jogging.

You hate jogging.

Mm.

Ballroom? Um, I remember your dancing; I'd rather not lose another toenail.

Noodling.

I do like the sounds of that one.

It means fishing with your hands.

Oh, no.

No.

Are you feeling okay? Yeah.

I just think we should do more things together, as a couple.

A normal, happy, functional couple.

If I say "yes," will you stop crushing my hand? Sorry.

Hey, why didn't you tell me? Tell you what? About entering my article.

For the blogger of the year competition.

I just bumped into sweet.

He told me all about it.

Oh, that.

Yeah.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

There's probably loads of applicants.

Oh, I know.

I don't expect to win or anything.

It's just After everything that's happened Thanks.

Does this mean we're okay again now?
- Mm
-hmm.


- Okay.

No! That was me, Fabian.

You should have moved Alfie.

I can't do this.

I can't do this.

Dude, you're fine.

You've got this.


- What's with the, uh, group geek
-out sesh? Some some ancient board game.

You know what Fabian's like.

What? Yes.

Yes, I do.

I also know what you're like.

What? Something's going down.

I want to know what it is.

Nothing's going down.

Alfie, Nina has disappeared.

It's Rufus, isn't it? Dude, you're way out.

It's You promised you promised me that you would not.

Keep something like that from me.

That is too important.

I promise.

It's got nothing to do with Rufus, okay? Nina's just Worried about her gram, that's all.

She's skipped class, and we're covering for her.

And that's all, is it? Yeah.

Hello? I assure you, there is no way out.

Victor! Get me out of here.

Impossible As I found to my cost many, many years ago.

You're not Victor.

My name is Victor Rodenmaar sr.

I assume you are referring to my worthless son.

But that would make you Dead as a doorknob, my dear.

Yes.

Then Means that I'm On the contrary, you are very much Alive.

Okay, so today we're gonna talk about tragedies.

This is wrong.

This is all wrong.

Why are we sitting here when we know Nina's missing? We have to tell someone.

Romeo and Juliet.

Even homer Simpson.

The tragedy is a tale that sees our hero come unstuck.

Because of a flaw in their character.

Or their inability to deal with what life throws at them.

So often, our hero or heroine comes to an untimely end.

Not this time, she doesn't! What? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Fabian.

I think Fabian might be having a holistic breakdown.

Lost it totally.

Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, um, he's just a bit upset about something.

Alfie, what was that? It's fine.

Okay, so Fabian, wait! What are you doing? I'm going to talk to Mr.

sweet.

Look, we have to find her, dig up the tunnels, whatever it takes!
- You're not thinking straight.


- I'm the only one that is! We can't just leave her down there! Enter.

Hello? Mr.

Rodenmaar? Well, I'm sorry.

That's just not good enough! Mr.

sweet, can I talk I'm sorry, Fabian.

I need five minutes.

I have a fish crisis in the school cafeteria! Fabian, think about it.

You could be putting Nina's life into even more danger.

If you get a grown
-up involved.

Don't you think I know that? What is the alternative, Amber? Hello? If I knew she was definitely alive, then maybe we Hello? I'm down here! Can you hear me? It's Nina.

It's Nina! I'm here! I'm down here! She's in the suit of armor? Hello? Wait.

Can you hear me? Amber, the sound's coming from down here.


- Hello?
- Nina, can you hear me? Yes! She she's okay.

It's her! She's okay! Nina! Nina, where are you? Nina, I'm gonna get you back out of there, okay? I promise! What on earth are you doing? Um Um I I dropped a coin.

I think it rolled.

What did you want to see me about? Are you still there? What was that? Hello? Quiet! Quiet a funny story, actually! Fabian, are you feeling all right? Um, he's suffering from stress.

Um, he needs to lie down.

The nurse knows all about it.

Don't worry.

Do you think Do do you think she heard? I think everybody heard.

You've gone very quiet on me lately, Vera.

Have you found me the real mask yet? We are getting closer.

Ah.

And Victor still thinks you're on his side?
- Yes.


- Good.

Just as long as you're not having second thoughts.

You get me the mask, and you'll be rewarded.

And if I fail? Failure is not an option.

Fail? Uh, very well.

Well, I'll think about that, and I'll get back to you.

Bye.

Who was that?
- Uh, the organizer of a national bake
-off.

They want me to enter my famous chocolate nightmare cake, but I'm not sure.

I worry about failure, Victor.

As do I, Vera.

As do I.

I worry that I will fail to protect you.

From this spirit that is seeking the mask, and that is why I have decided that you should move out.

Oh, uh, thanks, but if I'd wanted cheese, I probably would have ordered cheese.

Oh.

And you still clearly hate tuna.

No, no, I could totally get used to it.

Plus, it's good to share, right? It's what couples do, isn't it? Oh, sub thief.

Uh, Patricia, a word?
- Like, now.


- Mm
-hmm.

Laters, fish face.

That's more like it.

So, um, taking some time off from tailing Mara? Good for you.

Dude, I never tailed Mara.

We just often end up in the same place, that's all.

At the same time, exactly.

Yeah.

Where is she, anyway? Probably off reporting something somewhere.

That is all she does since Joy entered her.

In the blogger competition.

What's up? Dude, Joy didn't enter Mara.

Joy entered Joy.

My mind is made up, Vera.

You are the one with the mark.

You are the one she will try to harm.

You don't know that.

Oh, Victor.

Please don't send me away! I am not sending you away, my dear.

I am simply trying to protect you.

Once I have the mask and the tears of gold, the elixir shall be ours, and then we shall be together forever.


- Oh, but
- Shh.

We must try to be strong, my dear.

I thought you said you didn't feel ready.

No, no, that was before.

Now I know she's safe and well, we have to do this thing and get her home.

Trudy, I really think you should reconsider.

No.

I need to know what happened.

I've been having these flashbacks and dreams, and, well, if a therapist could help with any of that Um, sorry, we hoped We thought you were closing for lunch round about now? I'm trying to dissuade Trudy here.

From calling in a therapist.

A therapist? To help me regain my memory.

Are you sure that's a good idea, Trudy? Exactly what I just said.

Yes, I do, and there are.

Fully
-qualified therapists out there.

That can help with this kind of thing.

I'm going to go make a few calls.

Uh, Trudy, wait.

If Trudy gets her memory back, it's gonna be a world of awkward.

Look, let's worry about that later, shall we? Come on, we don't have much time to do this.

I thought they drugged you.

Some people have the gift to see, and others not.

Your gift is great, I can Sense.

Yeah.

So great, I ended up getting benched here.

So You're a ghost, right? How did you end up down here? I sought the power of the mask, but Robert was too clever for me, and my own son was too stupid to find me.

Nobody came.

I was left here to rot! My friends are gonna get me out.

For your sake, I Hope they do.

No, wait! What did you mean about the power of the mask? Come on, Fabian! I need you.

Okay, so, Amber, one square forward.

Patricia, one square forward.

Alfie, one square forward.

Dude, stay in your square.

What if the creepy dog face points at me? No, I've been watching him.

I think he's gonna point the other way on his next move.

Besides, it means more progress for Nina.

Anubis dude's not moving.

We're one player less, so that means one of you gets an extra move.

Um, Alfie, you take it.

One square left.

No! Right.

Which is it, dude? 'Cause right looks pretty good to me.

Wait, let me check something.

Can't I just go right? Right, left.


- Left or right?
- Left! Right.

No! Left! I heard you the first time! You're sure this is a safe move? Yes! Yes! Look, I'm positive.


- No!
- Oh, no! Alfie! Guys! Help! I can't hold on much longer!
