02x02 - Memory Chasers

[bunniefuu]

-[dramatic music plays]
-[ship whooshes]

Candy Realm? Lava Realm?

The yeti on Pillow's Peak?
Anything?

I have no idea what
those words mean.

Are we really all in the
same dream right now...

Did you just say Candy Realm?

This is hopeless!

Ever since you all tangled
with that creepy raven,

she can't remember a thing
about the dream world!

Logan! Cooper!
How you feeling?

-I'm cool!
-What's the big deal?

I can't remember half the stuff
you teach me, anyway.

The big deal is we're
about to meet the head

of the entire Night Bureau!

Night Bureau? What is that?
And what is this?

Royce is going to have
a field day with Izzie.

There will be no reviving
my reputation after this.

Grand Inspector Royce
and your teacher here

have a rather touchy history,

on account of Royce beating
Oswald in a dream duel

back in the '90s
during the REMs.

He is the most arrogant,
unforgiving snob

in the entire Night Bureau!

And he didn't beat me!

No, no, he humiliated you.

You shoulda seen it... Hoo-eey!

People still talk about it.
Ha-ha!

Well, that's not
gonna happen to us

because I've got just
the trick for Izzie.

Remember the Rememberator?

Meet the new and
improved Rememberator-er.

This bad boy will get Izzie's
memory back in no time.

Lemme just tune it up here...

Oh, huh. That's not
supposed to happen.

Weird.
Uh, lemme just fix that.

[device explodes]

Gee, Coop,
I'm sorry about your...

Flipping-frog-brains,
look at that dream castle!

Are you guys seeing this?

[opening theme music playing]

Oh, this is incredible!

I must be dreaming right now!

Oh, for the hundredth time!
Yes, you are!

-Hey. What happened back there?
-I don't know.

I can take apart that
machine with my eyes closed,

but this time I just
kinda went blank.

Welcome to my world!
I forget things all the time.

My homework, Wi-Fi password...

[gasps] What if I
forgot what I forgot?

-Brooklyn Bureau!
-Ah, Inspector Strick.

Uh, listen, is there anyway
we can postpone the...

Listen up, Oz! The entire
Bureau has been talking about

how you all incarcerated
the Nightmare King

and The Grand Inspector
wants to see the group

who pulled it off.
Let's not keep him waiting.

[doors banging]

[all grunting]

Oh, wow. Would you look at
the size of this place?

Echo. Echo!

Here's an idea, Izzie.

How about you just don't
open your mouth for a minute?

Or five. Hm?

Sure thing! Wait, oh, sorry!

Oh, I opened it again.

Oh! There it goes again.
[laughs]

You know what would
sound great in here?

My new victory beat.
Wanna hear it?

Excellent work, Astrid,
nice definition.

Wow. Look at that!

Now, quickfire round! Guitar!

Hamster! Hot dog!

Gummi bear! Unicorn!

Gummi bear riding
a unicorn eating a hotdog!

Unicorn!

Oops. Sorry, Mister Oz.

Ah, you must be the
accomplished Brooklyn Bureau

everyone's been talking about.

Grand Inspector Royce.
So good to see you again.

I'm sorry, have we met?

It's Agent Oswald?
REM trials of '94?

We had a rather
memorable dream duel?

Did we? Forgive me, I duel
so many trainees in my role.

Trainee? I'm not a...

This is Astrid. She's from
the Night Bureau in Berlin.

I was just tutoring her.

She's become something
of a protege of mine.

So these are the Dream Chasers
who found this castle?

And trapped the Nightmare King?

They don't even have uniforms.
Or badges. [chuckles]

Uniforms? [giggles]
Oh, I want a uniform!

Be that as it may, this is them.

Which is why I
wanted to meet you

and get a little look
at what you can do.

[Royce whistles]

Everyone! Come in here.

The famous Brooklyn Bureau
is going to give us

a little demonstration!

Uh, they're not
really warmed up.

Maybe let's do some stretches?

You there, impress me.

Sorry, not supposed
to open my mouth.

What?

How 'bout I go first!

[bright music]

[blob spludges]

[blob blinks]

Oh-kay.

Alright, amateur hour is over.
Time for the big g*ns!

[tense music]

[giggles, exclaims]

I asked for dreamcrafting,
not whatever that is.

Say no more, Grand Inspector,
I've got just the thing.

My signature creation,
my dream machine:

a 400 horsepower,
variable-differential,

high-torque...

[Astrid] Tire?

Oh, my gumballs!
A freaking manticore!

[laughs] Sorry.

Grand Inspector Royce,
the Melbourne Bureau needs you.

There's been an alarming
surge in nightmares

about breakdancing Kangaroos.

[sigh] We'll have
to finish this later.

It looks like, perhaps,
you could use the extra time.

[whispering]
Can I open my mouth now?

[Logan]
Well, that was a bust.

What the heck happened
to you in there?

I don't know!

It's like every time I try
to think about a machine...

Not you, I mean Teo!

Why'd you make that
half-baked Z-Blob?

I just miss Z-blob so much,

I can't think of anything else.

Guys, I think something
really bad happened

with those creepy ravens.

Think about it. Izzie can't
remember the Dream World.

I can't remember how to
build things. And Logan...

Uh, what did you forget?

If I forgot it,
how would I know?

[Royce] Leaving so soon,
Agent Oswald?

I still haven't
seen you dreamcraft.

I'd love to see
how you've improved

since that stint in '94.

You do remember me! I knew it!

It's hard to forget
a flop like that.

Thought I'd never see

a more embarrassing
show of dreamcrafting.

Until today, that is.

Think whatever you want,
but it was my squad

who trapped the Nightmare King!

Be that as it may, if they
can't do proper dreamcrafting

by the next time we meet,

your precinct will have
no place in this organization.

Standard procedure.

Oh, they'll be ready.
Just you wait.

You want floating unicorns?

We'll give you
floating unicorns.

We'll have unicorns
coming out your... ears!

And we are leaving.

Alright! Time for
dream logic 101!

I've whipped up a couple
hundred flashcards

to get you up to speed on
the rules and the basics.

Flashcards? Ugh.

I've just discovered
an endless Dream World

of limitless possibilities.

And you wanna quiz me on rules?

Who goes to sleep
dreaming about rules?

C'mon, you got this, Izz,
we just gotta...

[egg splats]

Hey! What gives?

Sorry!

My, uh, mom made me sign up

for an extra credit
science project.

And we have to engineer a case

so the egg won't
crack from the fall.

Well, I think you better go
back to the drawing board!

[Mateo] I'm not sure he can.

Not until we get his
tech skills back.

Well, how can we find
his missing memory

if we don't know where it went?

What about the Sandman?

Let's see.

Snowcone Forest,
Sandhill Cranes.

Here it is. Sandman.

Creator of new dream sand

and 24-hour hourglass repair.

Resides in the Murky Realm,
the land of forgotten dreams.

Forgotten dreams,
forgotten memories.

Same thing, right?

It's not that simple.
Memories don't just disappear.

I think someone is behind this.

Someone trying to stop
you from dreamcrafting.

Someone
like the Night Hunter.

Okay, well let's go
talk to that dude.

Because I finally figured
out what I forgot.

My locker combo.

And I gotta get
my gym shorts outta there

otherwise PE
is gonna be awkward.

That's not it, Logan.

You always forget
your locker combo.

What do you think, Coop?

Where you wanna go look
for your missing memories?

Sandman or Night Hunter?

I... ugh, I can't.

I can't go with you tonight.

My family expects me to
ace this project tomorrow,

and now I have no idea
how I'm gonna do it.

I can't even put a bolt
and screw together!

Well, you can do what you want,

but I know who's behind this,

and that's where
I'm going tonight.

[eerie music playing]

Hey, boss! What do you wanna
do with all these cages?

Should we lock up some dreamers?

Nightmare King used to
have us lock up dreamers.

[sighs] What's the point?

Gee, boss, I don't see
what you're so sore about.

At least you didn't
get double-crossed

by that rotten turncoat
Sneak like we did.

Or trapped like old
Nightmare King neither.

You should be happy!

I'm sure I should.

C'mon, we got the entire
realm to ourselves now!

Let's go out and have some fun!
We need some action!

[Zoey] Happy to oblige!
[grunts]

-[all grunting]
-[Susan] Ow!

Start talking! What did you
do with my friends' memories!

-Memories? What memories?
-Don't play dumb.

He ain't playing.
He didn't do nothing.

Just been sitting on
that throne for weeks!

We're bored silly!

If you didn't take them,
then who did?

What do I know? You're the ones
who took out the Nightmare King.

And for all the
trouble he caused,

he always kept the other
bad dreams in check.

With him gone, who knows

what will come creeping
out of the shadows.

Whatever has happened
is on your hands.

This isn't over.

[grunting]

Want us to chase her?

Ehh, don't bother.

Boss, I don't get it.

You finally got the
Shadowkeep all to yourself.

I mean, you got everything
you wanted, didn't you?

Yes... and no.

[Cooper's Mom] Cooper!
Lights out, honey!

You need your sleep.

You've got to do well
on that project tomorrow!

I know, Mom! I know!

Just a few more pieces.

Here we go again.

[egg splats]

Mrs. C!
Can you see my egg?

Is it still intact?

Mijo,if you wanted
a scrambled egg,

you could have just asked me!

Argh!

Yes.
Ahh. Very interesting.

Is that it?
Did you find the memories?

Hm? Oh, no, this is
just an old dream

where someone's on a tightrope

holding their
parents in each hand.

Now that's one for the
therapists, am I right? Hmm?

Please, you gotta help
us find those memories.

Cooper's going crazy
without his tech skills,

Logan doesn't know what
he forgot, and Izzie...

Well, she's driving us crazy.

Do you ever get sand in
you eyes? Or your shorts!

Do you think sand is
coarse and gets everywhere?

Sorry, kid,
but this doesn't sound

like a forgotten
dream situation.

I don't keep ravens,
but I know someone who does.

[sinister music]

Oh, yeah.

Remember the last time
we came through here?

Remember who else
was in the murk?

Sifting through lost dreams?

That creepy witch.

A creepy good witch,
or a creepy bad witch?

[Siren screams]

A creepy bad witch!
Run!

Is that the witch?

She looks more like a
flesh-eating mermonster!

Sirens. I'll hold them off!

I gotta drown out
their singing! Boombox!

[Siren screams]

What the heck is
that supposed to be?

[Sirens swooshing]

[Sirens screaming]

Logan!
Your victory beat, now!

[beatboxes]

[gasps] That's it!
That's what I forgot!

My new victory beat!

-The one time...
-[Logan grunts]

I actually want
to hear your beats

and you forget?

-[grunts]
-[tense music]

You wanna hear my beats?
I got others!

I didn't forget them all.

[Sirens swooshing]

Hey, guys, is this my
fuzzy memory again

or did you say
somebody lived here?

The Witch should be here.

She's gone. Along with her
cauldron and all those jars.

The jars. That's it!

Remember? She had
jars full of memories.

She must have sent those
ravens to steal our memories!

Oh, no, Zoey's about to pick
a fight with the Night Hunter.

We gotta tell her,
she's got the wrong guy!

[liquid bubbles]

Retirement doesn't suit you.

Impossible. You should be
confined in the Murky Realm.

Hmm, yes, your old boss,
the Nightmare King,

wanted to forget
about me forever.

But you can't erase
my memory that easily.

If it's a fight you want,
then make your move.

A fight? Oh... [giggles]
No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not here to fight you.

I'm here to find out what you
know about the Dream Chasers.

Stop!

What are you doing to me?

Why would I need to fight you

when I could just take away
your memory of how to fight?

Or your memory of the
Dream World itself.

Or a little of everything?

No... No!

Stay out of my head!

[NeverWitch laughs]

[gasps] Well, well, well.
What have we here?

Now isn't that
a juicy little secret.

Oh, it is precious to you?
Maybe I should take it.

Hmm. No.

This one is more useful to me
if you hold onto it.

I'll use that
in a different way.

-[NeverWitch laughs]
-[Night Hunter grunts, groans]

Crackle, bubble, gurgle, stew.

Let us away, in our magic brew!

Looks like the Night Hunter
was telling the truth.

He didn't take those memories.

[ominous music]

Hmm. Almost right.

Just a few more ingredients

and I'll have
every memory I need

to set this dream world right.

[tense music]

Woah, so that's where
the memories go.

What is this?

First kiss, fear of flying,

the batting average
of the 1984 Mets.

No, that's not what I need.

[ravens cawing]

C'mon, Izzie, Coop, Logan,
where are you?

Have to be in here somewhere.

Oh!

[somber music]

It's late.
Shouldn't you be in bed?

[sighs] Might as well.

I'm never gonna be
able to make this work.

If you can't make that work,

maybe it's time to
try something else.

Huh?

One time, the plancha
in my truck goes out.

Wouldn't heat up. So I can't
cook the way I'm used to.

So you know what I did?
I found another way.

I made a whole
menu of cold food.

Gazpacho, agua frescas,
ceviches.

I had to make
something different.

That's just it!
I've tried everything.

No, mijo.
Never everything.

There is always another way.
Something different.

Here. Have some leftover flan.

It'll make you feel better.

[sighs]

[ravens cawing]

[tense music]

The treehouse!

This must be ours!

-Well, well, well.
-[Zoey gasps]

if it isn't the
little dream bandit.

I have fond memories of you.

-[tense music]
-[ravens cawing]

[wolf growling]

[Zoey screams]

What? No.

This is my domain,
foolish child.

I decide what stays
and what goes.

And I'm afraid there'll be
no escape for you this time.

Yeah, well, that's the thing.

Time's not really
an issue for me.

[dramatic music]

-[NeverWitch screams]
-[Zoey gasps]

Hey! There she is!

Zoey! It's not
the Night Hunter!

It's the Witch from
the Murky Realm!

I know! She's right behind me!

-[ravens cawing]
-[wolf growls]

Are you okay?
What happened in there?

I had to turn time
back so far to escape,

I almost broke my clock!

Nice trick, dream bandit.

But it'll take more than
tricks to escape me.

This way!

Cooper!

-[all grunting]
-[ravens cawing]

[thudding]

[all grunting]

-[door thuds]
-Yo, that was close.

Cooper! I thought you
had to do your project.

I was, but it was hopeless
without my tech skills.

I guess I fell
asleep working on it.

Well, maybe this will help.

Is that it? Is that mine?

Thank you, Zoey! Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!

Well, it's one of yours,
I just don't know whose.

Sorry, I could only find
one before I was spotted.

[energy swooshing]

[shrieks]

[beatboxing]

♪ Victory
Victory ♪

Ohh! Finally!

I remembered my sick
new victory beat!

Zoey, you rule!

Great.
Totally worth the trouble.

Guess it's back to
the stupid flashcards for me.

Ohh, guys, I'm so sorry.

Ah, c'mon, Coop.
Don't look so glum.

So you're not the tech
genius you used to be.

You've still got... Uh...
what other talents do you have?

[sighs] I'll see you guys later.

I'm gonna go drown my
troubles in the Candy Realm.

Hey, buddy. I hate to ask
but, how'd the project go?

A-plus!

Wait, what? How?

Did you get your
tech skills back?

Nope.
I can't even figure out...

[phone rings]

...how to put my phone
on silent anymore.

Wait, but, if you didn't
get your ability back,

how'd you get an A-plus?

I'll show you!

Ta-da!
Mrs. C inspired me.

I cooked up this flan to cushion
the egg, and it worked!

Wow, that's actually
kinda clever.

Mmm, and delicious.

Huh, I never thought of
you as a chef before.

Yeah, me neither.
But sometimes

you gotta step outside
of your lane,

try something new,
different!

And you know what?
New and different is not so bad.

Well, I'm glad you
aced that project,

and Logan got his beat back,
but what about me?

I'm sorry, Izz. We'll get
your memories back, I promise.

And your skills, Coop.
We'll keep trying.

Yeah, we better. Because that
Witch is up to something.

I don't know what, but I
don't want any of our memories

to be a part of it.

I know it was you who set
those Dream Chasers on my tail!

Gah!

[tense music]

Ugh, Come now. We can do this
the easy way or the hard way.

Honestly, I'm not a fan
of either of those options!

[ravens cawing]

[ominous music]

[Sandman shrieks]

-[wolf growls]
-What do you want from me?

[NeverWitch laughs]

I want everything!

[dramatic music]
