03x35 - House of Capture

[bunniefuu]

[Gasping]

Frobisher.

No, no, no, no, no, no! [Gasping]

Don't you come don't you come over here.

No.

Do you have a death wish?
- I don't.

I really don't.


- I think it was a rhetorical question.

You are all coming with me to the Gate House.

There is something I need you to see.

Victor, my job is to look after these children.


- And that's exactly what I'm going to do.


- How dare you interrupt me? But they've been working so hard for today's play.

They're not going to miss it just because they've, broken one of your ridiculous rules.

Um, it's okay, Trudy.

Uh, I don't want you to get in trouble because of us.

It's fine, Patricia.

Go on.

Get back to your play.


- They are not going anywhere.


- Do you want them all to fail? And what are you going to say to their parents when they ask you why? [Door closing]

You should not interfere in matters that do not concern you.

[Panting]

You have to listen to me.

[Gasping]

I'm sick.

You are evil! [Cell phone ringing]

Fabian? Hello? Don't you come any nearer.

I know why you're here, Frobisher! Fabian? Hello? I just need your help.

I need to get to the Gate House!
- Get away from here.


- To the t*nk! No! Ah, no! No.

[Cries]

Stop! I'm not giving up now, gramps.

[Wailing and panting]

Please.

[Bell tolls]

You, tuck your shirt in, you look ridiculous.

Straighten that tie.

And, you, get your hair cut.

You look like an orangutan.

No eating.

Oh, Mr.

Sweet.

Mr.

Sweet.

You okay? Never better.

Why? Oh.

Okay.

Well, we were thinking of having a party after the play.


- You know, let off a bit of steam
- No.

What? Why? Because you think school is just one great big rave
-up.

And you spend far too much time partying and not enough time learning.

Well, no more! [Whimpering]

What do you want from me? I need your help, Fabian.

I must get back to No, wait, wait.

How do you know my name? I've been searching for someone I can trust, a brilliant mind.

I am too weak to do all that must be done.

We are at risk, Fabian, all of us.

We can fight it.

But you must help me.

[Wincing]

[Whimpering]

I We must complete my work.

What work? I mean, do you have a plan? Yes, I'll tell you everything Show you.

[Groaning]

I need the t*nk.

It will restore me.

Please, Fabian, do the right thing.

Trust me.

Thank you.

It's just a few tweaks to the final scene.

So what do you think? Well [laughs]

It's really harsh, Mara.

What? He is a vomit
-inducing wart on the nose of humanity.

Yeah, but No, I'm not changing a word.

It's the truth.

I am now ready to reveal the Willow Jenks costume collection.

I just don't think Jordan deserves it.

Tada! Is that well, that's
- A unicorn.


- Yeah.

You have unicorn costumes.

Willow, is everyone on the stage gonna be dressed as a unicorn?
- Of course not.

That would be ridiculous.


- Okay.

Look, you can't tell the story of love across the divide if there's no divide.

Eddie is going to be wild pony with a lustrous mane.

No unicorn.

It's going to distract from Jerome getting dumped.

Willow, you're fired.

Joy, man up.

We have costumes to make.

What? [Groaning]

Take that away.

Fabian? Fabian? Hey, what's all the shouting about? And be careful.

Victor's in a stinky mood.

Where's Fabian? I need to talk to him.

It's really important.

Well, everyone's over at the school preparing for the play.

[Panting]

[Wheezing]

What happened to you? The consequence of reversing a terrible curse, my boy.

Reversing of a you mean Ammit's curse? Indeed.

Before I was put to sleep I returned to Egypt.

Where I studied the ancient worship of Maat, Goddess of Justice.

Only Maat could undo Ammit's evil work.

[Chuckles]

I devised a ritual in her name.

[Inhales deeply]

It saved my soul.

[Chuckles]

That that's amazing, Sir.

But without Ammit's curse, my years are catching up with me.

My body is failing.

Yet, there is still so much to be done to ensure, that Ammit remains locked in the underworld.


- Stage fright?
- Something like that.

[Laughs]

You know, I'll admit at first I hated the fact that this play was about me Us.

But I actually think it's bringing us closer together.

[Chuckles softly]

It is? Yeah.

I like it.

At least we get to work together.

And even though Jo and Jordan don't get this happy ending We do.

Mmhmm.


- Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.


- Stressed.

[Giggles]


- Hey, come here.

Smooch! Ah, Patricia, we've been thinking.

You need to earn your keep in our happy little team.

We've got a job for you.

Everybody, please, please, remember your lines.

Stop with the pressure, Mara, or I'll forget them.

Okay, there we are.

Is everyone set? A new scene? What?
- What's that?
- New scene.

Okay, everyone, break a leg.


- Eddie! Eddie, I need to talk to you.


- Hey.

It's Fabian.

I think something's happened to him.

Such as?
- I think he's with Frobisher.


- Come on, KT.

You're just trying to get one of us to go with you to look for Fabian, and then you're gonna kidnap us.


- Shut up, Patricia.

Eddie
- No, KT, you shut up.

Whoa, drop it, KT, all right? You're upsetting Patricia.


- But Eddie
- Just leave it, all right? Hey, you you okay? I've been searching for someone I can trust Someone to continue my work.

Do you think you could be that person? Uh I have always greatly admired Your work, Mr.

Frobisher
-Smythe.

[Grunts]

[Gasps]

I am an old, old man, Fabian.

So far, the t*nk has kept me alive, but it, too, is old.

I need someone To whom I can pass on my secrets To prepare for when I am gone.

We could achieve great things together, you and I.

That would be amazing.

Sir, I I would be proud to.

[Chuckles]

Oh, excellent.

Excellent.

Welcome.

Welcome.

The offering for this year's drama module has been co
-written By Joy Mercer and Mara Jaffray.

And is entitled Lost Love.


- Positions, please, everyone.


- Oh, I'm so excited.

I'm gonna die.

Phone? Eddie, your phone.


- Oh, uh, okay, yeah.


- Oh, Eddie.

What's this? Why did you change the ending? I thought the play needed a happy ending.

No, Joy, it doesn't make sense.

Jo would never stay with Jordan.

Where's the twist? The twist is is that she didn't mean to fall for him.

It just happened.

And her friends understand that.

Anyway, it's too late now.


- Four.


- Squee.

And it could happen because it sort of Ow! [Wheezing]

Currently, you see It has just enough power to keep me alive.

But I need more.

I need to recover my strength.

Right, uh All right, that's We could install a more powerful motor.

Maybe swap the bellows with some pressurized pure oxygen.

Uh, maybe if you made up some elixir, we could infuse that into the steams valves and that would give I'm sorry.

Am I gabbling? Not at all.

I was right to confide in you.

You remind me of myself.

Hi, Jordan.


- Hi, Jo.


- Oh, hello, Mandy.


- Alfie, we have to go, Sibuna calls.


- I can't leave.

I'm the Stage Manager.

And you're the lead, get out there and you help us pass this module.

Alfie, we have to go, we have to go right now.

But I Devoured souls? Evil? End of the world? That is a good point.

Sibuna.

Let's go.

[Panting]

Do you give your all to your work, Fabian? Are you focused on your endeavors?
- Oh, yes.

Yeah, of course.


- I think not.

You lack ambition.

You seem easily distracted.

I, um I don't I don't think so.

That is not all.

Your obsession with the minutiae Makes you miss the bigger picture.

That's when Patricia was captured.

You are also gullible.

[Pained wheezing]

[Dramatic music]

[Sinister laughter]

I don't need the t*nk after all.

Imagine that.

[Chuckles]

Oh, Mr.

Sweet, thank goodness you're here.

We're in danger.

We need to run right now.

Not we Rutter.

You.

No.

I'm afraid this has all been a trick, Fabian.

You failed, Fabian.

At every turn.

Oh, you should be ashamed.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you? If you capture me for shame, but you can't, because I'm not ashamed.

I am proud of what I've done.

Every trap you've left behind, every single puzzle you have set [Sinister laughter]

You're no, no, no, stop! We didn't want you for shame! Oh, no, no, no! If we split up, we can cover more ground.

We need to find KT and Fabian, okay? They could be in trouble.


- What? I thought KT was trouble.


- No, we got it wrong.

Okay, just find them, okay? And be careful.

Please, rejoin us after the interim.

So, I got Jerome to cover Eddie, and Willow is pretty much playing everyone else.


- Crisis averted.


- Yeah.

Are you still mad at me about the ending? No.

I understand you were doing it for the good of the play.

And you can still dump Jerome before final curtain when everyone's still watching.

I don't know.

It just feels a bit wrong.


- What?
- Aren't we risking everyone's grades? Maybe we should just give operation Jerome up.

Why? Look, Mara, you've had your revenge now.

I mean, this was a good idea at the time but Please, Joy.

Remember what he did? He really hurt me and poor Willow.

Public humiliation is the least he deserves.

Look, you can't back out now because if he doesn't know what it feels like to have his heart broken, he'll always treat girls like this.

Okay.

You'll have your revenge.

Thank you.

You're a good friend.

Mm
-hmm.

KT!
- Hey!
- It's okay.

It's okay.


- I'm not trying to kidnap you.


- I know.

I'm just trying to find Fabian You do? But when? How? You locked me up because you thought that I was evil.

I nearly left school this morning.

Look, I know.

And I'm really, really sorry, okay? I didn't know what was going on.

But I saw Patricia's eyes.

They're red just like you said.

She's a sinner.


- Hey, Alfie.


- Whoa.


- Hey.


- What you doing? Uh, well, KT was looking for Fabian, and we were looking for KT, I think.

I'm a bit hazy on the details.

Okay, I'll help you find 'em.

I have an idea.

Come with.

She's my girlfriend.

And if what Harriet says is true, she's gonna suffer.

Which is why we need to fix this, Osirian.

We can do this.

I know we can, okay? Okay.

Oh, no.

Patricia's got Alfie.

Just stay here.

But you have to help me.

Do I tell her and risk everything, or walk away and never know? Oh, dude, you should totally tell her.

Otherwise you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

No, no.

You'll regret it if you do tell her.

Think about Mandy's feelings.

Hey, Jordan, Alf.

Mandy.

[Panting]

I'll be right back.


- Willow.


- No more.

I cannot play all of these parts.

I can't go on, Joy.

Yeah, you really don't do well with pressure, do you? All right.

All right, then.

When you put it like that, I will be Jo, okay? Hey, Jordan.

Go with it.


- This way.


- What? This is towards the Gate House.

Yeah, if I know Eddie, he'll be doing a stakeout.

Yeah, but with everything that's going on, don't you think Look, come on just trust me I know he's gonna be there, I know him.

Hey, uh, what are you doing?
- Eddie.


- What're you doing? Where you going?
- We were just looking for you.


- Oh, uh, ta
-da.

Here you are.

[Laughs]

Jordan, wait, I need to talk to you.

I need to tell you something.

I haven't been completely honest with you.

I want to be together.

I want us.

[Whispering]

"I want to be with you too".

"I want to be with you too".

The thing is, Jo.

I've realized recently that Sometimes people aren't who you think they are.

They lie to you, and they let you down.

I think you're one of those people.

[Whispering]

Jerome, what are you doing? Stick to the script.

So the whole "us" thing.

Isn't really working for me.

Why isn't it working for you? [Whispering]

Why are you doing this? Because the only reason I was with you was for a joke.

And that joke isn't funny anymore.

And that is that.

The end.

[Applause]


- Really?
- Trudy, has Fabian come back?
- That's terrible.


- Trudy.

Oh, tell me that again.

Fabian, where are you? What? "Sinners walk among you".

[Gasps]

Welcome to my army Fabian Rutter.

Who do you serve? Ammit The Devourer And you, Mr.

Frobisher.

[Dramatic choral music]


- [Chuckles]


- [Snickers]

Fabian! Have you guys seen Fabian?
- Fabian!
- KT.


- Fabian.


- Oh.


- Oh.


- Ah.


- What happened to you? Are you okay?
- Now, look, I'm fine.

But listen, Frobisher is coming for us.

Okay, we're not safe.

He's on his way now.


- We have to get out of here.


- Should we warn the others? Yeah, of course, but as soon as we get somewhere safe.

Trust me.
