02x84 - House of Trouble

[bunniefuu]

Forgotten me already, Jasper? You would do well to remember.

Rufus.

Time to put my plan into action, Victor.

Hmm? Where did you get that? Trudy's memory doctor.

This is an egyptian memory box.

They believed you could capture memories inside.

And Trudy's therapist gave you this? Yes, he uses it in his work.

He's done an incredible job on Trudy.

And I've just had a detailed demonstration of how it works.

You are not intending to use it on the students.

Once we have them under our control, We can use them to play the game for us.

We'll take the mask, and then when I release them.

With these words from their dream state They won't remember a thing about it.

Interesting.

I thought I'd pay you a visit, Jasper.

It's been so long since I heard from you.

I want nothing more to do with you.

Yes, but there's no going back.

Now that we're acquitted.

I'll keep your secret, I promise.

Yes, of course you will.

Because you know that something very, very bad.

Will happen to you and your precious godson if you don't.

Fabian.

Luckily for you, I don't need your services much longer.

My other associate.

Will be getting the real mask even as we speak.

But who is she getting it for? Vera seems very close to Victor these days.

Well, perhaps I should pay Vera a visit, Find out where her true loyalties lie.

I'm so glad we had this little chat.

Joy! Trudy only fell for the magic box stuff.

Because she wanted to believe.

We don't.

Oh, don't do that.

Trudy's memory doctor, He's not a doctor at all.

I just saw him talking to Jasper.

And then he took his disguise off.

And it's Rufus.

What? And get this.

Vera's working for him.

If Rufus is a memory doctor, Does this mean this box thingy will work on us too? No.

It's still garbage.

But anyway, now we know their plan, We can just tell Vera to get lost.

Unless we pretend to be under their influence.

Tumbleweed moment, Fabian.

Explain.

Think of it this way.

Victor is perhaps the best senet player alive.

He probably learned it from Robert as a boy, So he would know all of Robert's strategies.

Hang on.

So we let Victor and Vera think.

They're using us to get the mask, but really We would be using them.

It's crazy.

Look, I can get you across the board.

I just need more time.

We're running out of time, Joy.

Well, I'm in.

Me too.

Amber? I think you're all insane.

And that is why you'll never be a Sibuna.

Say it.

Mm.

Chubby bunnies Nope, one more.


- Come on, one more.


- Mm.

Look.

Hmm? Ah.

Chubby bunnies Hm
-mm.

One more.

Chubby bunnies Oh, they're they're coming out.

That's gross.

Ugh.

Oh, it's Mick.

Right.

You want me to Do you mind? No, why would I mind? But I'm keeping these.

Jerome.

Sorry.

It's all right.

I know my place.

Mick, hi.

Dr.

Alexander said.

That if you share the memory box with a friend, Then sweet dreams will come.

To both the giver and the receiver.

Isn't that such a lovely thought?
- Aw, how lovely.


- Lovely.

Very sweet.

And he gave me this really clever exercise.

To help me to sleep.

Shall I show you? Oh, where's the box? Oh, I think Vera had it last.

Okay, ready? Okay, just stay focused, and we'll be okay.

Just keep telling yourself, "it's all garbage.

" It's garbage.

It's garbage.

It's garbage.

In your head, Alfie.

What are you doing? What? I said, "what are you doing?" In case she starts chanting.

I don't take any risks.

Amber, don't Now As soon as I open the lid, Look inside, and all your thoughts Have you seen the time, Trudy? Didn't Dr.

Alexander recommend an early night? Oh, yes.

I do feel a bit drained.

I was just about to show them Oh, I can take it from here.

You certainly talked me through it enough.

Oh, thanks, Vera.

I will turn in, I think.

Good night, everyone.

Sweet dreams.

Right.

Like Trudy said, Look into the box.

Vera, is that you? That's it, through here, all of you.

It worked? Like a dream.

In fact, as far as they're concerned, That's what this is, a dream.

They'll take orders, but they can't talk back.

The perfect teenagers.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Um, Alfie Lewis, Would you like a slice of chocolate cake before we go? Just testing.

Trust me, Victor, The memory box worked like a charm.

It's over to you now.

Do you know what to do? Well, with Robert as an opponent, One can never be absolutely sure, But I think so.

Just think, Victor.

Soon, the mask will really be ours.

Indeed.

Follow Vera.

Go on.

Go on, that's it.

That's it.

Go on.

So dad's flying back on business later this evening.

I wish I could come with him, but I've a big cup game and Mara? Sorry? You zoned out.

Is everything okay? You know when you asked me.

If I thought this whole long
-distance thing was working? There's someone else, isn't there? Mick, that's not what this is about.

"sorry, Jerome.

Can we talk?" Vera? Hello, Jerome.

You see, I can't risk you raising the alarm, So there are two ways.

The easy way or the hard way.

But either way, you are coming with me, understood? No, no, no.

Hey, jer Uh, hi.

Is everything okay here? Rutter, miss Williamson, and miss Millington, Take one step forwards.

Lewis.

Lewis.

So very clever, Robert.

This senet board has enemy pieces.

Which are much harder to b*at.

It's the same as the miniature version, isn't it? If you land on a jackal square, they could take you.

Yes, but they all spin according to a set pattern.

This one here always turns two squares.

In a clockwise direction.

But I need more time to predict the others.

Just do it.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

Alfie, shh.

Lewis Step Left.


- Fabian.


- Alfie.

Lewis, take one step left.


- Fabian, I can't.


- Alfie, do it.

What is going on? Why isn't he doing it? Do it.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

Lewis, take one step left.


- Fabian, I can't.


- Alfie, do it.

What is going on? Why isn't he doing it? What was that? I tell you, I heard something.

Yes, the sound of a boy falling to an uncertain fate.

Harming the students was never part of the plan.

Well, you can't make an omelet.

Without breaking a few Release them.

No.

Rutter, Williamson, Millington, turn around.

Say the release words.


- Victor, the
- Say them! Alfie! We lost him.

Victor's a brilliant senet player, is he? All right, I got it wrong.

Big time.

For a minute back there, I thought they'd actually taken control of you.

Guys.

Alfie.

Come on, Fabian.

We have to find out if he's with Nina.

Come back the way you came.

How rude, I'm, uh I'm Rene zeldman.

I'm Jerome's Uncle.

Oh, pleasure to meet you, Uncle Rene.

Jerome's a little upset.

A favorite aunt of his has just passed away.

Oh.

We're just leaving.

No, we weren't.

Yes, we are.

Or perhaps I should go get poppy too? What do you think about that, Jerome?
- N
-no, not poppy.

No, no, you're right.

She's too young to cope with bereavement.

We'll go by ourselves.

Come along.

Come along.

Uncle Peter is desperate to see you.

Huh.

Brits.

If we get caught breaking into the school, We're gonna be in big trouble.

That's the least of our worries, Joy.

Ugh.

I brought them supplies from the machine.

If you don't feed Alfie every half an hour, he turns.

And we're in.

Okay, all right.

Nina? Nina, can you hear me? Yes, yes, I can hear you.

Um, is Alfie with you? Yeah, he's here.

A little shaken up, but he's good.

Nina, I'm sending down his favorite snacks.

Look after him for me, won't you? Course I will.

Got it.

Thanks.

Um, tell Alfie I'm sorry.

It was it was a stupid idea.

Hey, it could have worked.

We had to try.

Yeah, don't b*at yourself up over it.

Look, um, We're gonna get you both out of there really soon, all right? I promise.

Aren't we? Yeah.

Rufus.

I came to see you tonight, Vera.

Tell me you were out securing the mask of anubis for me.

Almost.

The plan went a little awry, But don't worry; There's a backup plan.

Well, you better not be lying, for your sake, Vera.

Oh, and by the way, if anyone asks, Jerome Clarke is visiting his Uncle.

Jerome? Oh, don't worry.

He's perfectly safe.

For now.

So I know we're not compatible, But I still really like you.

No.

Jerome, we've had our ups and downs.

No.

Jerome, remember when I turned you down that time? Mm
-mm.

Okay.

Jerome? Alfie? Amber, what are you I get low blood sugar.

And it's rude to stare.

Anyone seen Jerome this morning? Or Alfie? Uh, Alfie's sick.

Yeah, um, he's got Coco pocks.

Um, yeah, he's gone over to see the nurse.

Better to get something like that checked out, really.

Yeah.

And Jerome? No idea where Jerome is.


- Oh, I
-I saw him last night.

He left with his Uncle.

Oh, what Uncle? I don't know.

Bizarre.

Victor, we need to talk about last night.

Who were you calling? I was considering contacting Mr.

Sweet.


- What for?
- Alfie Lewis! Calm yourself, Victor.

There is nothing to suggest that the boy has come to any harm.

He has disappeared, has he not? Yes, but his friends don't seem to be panicking.

Or asking questions about where he's gone, do they? What are you saying, Vera? I am wondering why.

Unless, of course, they know where he is.

And that he's safe.

So perhaps Perhaps? You were right.

And they were pretending to be under our control.

In which case, we need to find a plan "b.

" Leave it to Vera.

And then you bought me a cactus as a present.

What was I thinking? No one's ever bought me a cactus before.

And there is a good reason for that, but it was sweet.

You know, you being down there has made me realize, I think we should give amfie another go.

Oh, no, I'm staying out of it.

Alfie? Did you hear what I just said? Uh, can I Can I think about it? Think about it? Think about what? What is there to think about? Hey, Mara, dad's got a date for his parole hearing.

That's amazing.

Have you seen Jerome anywhere? He's at your Uncle's, isn't he? Is he? That's what I heard.

He picked him up yesterday.

That's weird.

Uncle David or Uncle Simon? Really weird.

I'll give him a call.

So by sunset tomorrow, our time is up.

Are we all for going down this evening.

And finishing this thing? Joy? Right.

Well, filming everything on this has really helped.

There's a definite pattern to the guard's movements.

I'm just trying to plot a safe path across.

And? I'll get it.

Don't worry.

But tonight's a little too soon.

Sorry, after what happened last time, better to be safe.

We're cutting this close.

All this whispering.

Guy could develop a complex around here.


- Oh, oh, gosh.


- Oh, we, um Yeah, Amber, you've got to be there? Got to go.


- Sorry.


- Bye.

Right.

We're we're not whispering about you.

Don't worry.

Well, what were you whispering about? Where did you guys all disappear to last night? If I told you, I'd have to wipe your memory.

And get you deported.

Another seeker of the mask? Yes.

He's on my side.

You said the mask had special powers.

Yeah.

Well, what does it do? And can I ask why you were searching for? I wanted the tears of gold, of course.

I longed for immortality in this life, Not some egyptian afterlife.

Egyptian afterlife? Yeah.

Whoever wears the mask of anubis You have said enough, old man.

I must go.

No.

Mr.

Rodenmaar.

I am weary of waiting, chosen one.

Your friends do not have long.

And then I will replace you.

What do you mean? Are you he? We need more time.

Tell me, boy.

Are you he? The chosen one is failing.

I must wake the osirian.

Are you he? Smokey, leave him alone.

You see me too? Perhaps the osirian sleeps in you.

What? Take my hand, boy.

No, Eddie, don't.

A born protector.

Perhaps it is you after all.

I don't know what you mean.

You will tell me.
