02x07 - Romancing the Spear

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music]

[chuckling] Up and down
and in and out.

-Yay.
-Cowboy.

-Yay.
-Yay, whoo-hoo.

Where is my...

Stop! Thief!
Right there.

Someone get him.

-[dramatic music]
-[Beau grunts]

[fist thuds]

Not so fast, creep.

You better get out of here
and clean up your act.

And here you go.

Thank you so much.
That was amazing.

Come on, Cowboy.

[somber music]

Hey, buddy.

I know it's hard to lose
something you love,

but you never know
what you might find next.

[happy music]

[chuckling]
Come on, Beau.

It's dream time.

[laughing] Gotcha.

All right, kids, gotta go.

Get yourself
a new balloon, okay?

-Aw.
-I love you, Cow-Beau.

[chuckling] Pretty nifty moves
catching that perp back there.

You weren't so bad yourself.

You were great with those kids.

Those families were
really taken with you.

So I was thinking.

Dangerous, but intriguing.

[soft music]

There's a new fusion
restaurant around the corner.

Maybe tomorrow you'd like...

[shouting]
Darn it all.

Oz!

What are you doing here?

I can't for the life of me
find any information

-on destroying that thing.
-What thing?

But I know it's possible,
and we must find a way to do it.

[sighing] Do what?

It can't possibly be harder
than facing the Nightmare King

and claiming the sword
in the first place.

Beau, Hannah,
we must find a way

to destroy
the Nightmare King's sword.

[dramatic music]

[opening theme music playing]

[Abraham] And on behalf
of the Night Bureau,

I would like to congratulate
and thank the Brooklyn branch

for capturing
the Nightmare King.

Thank you,
Grand Inspector Abraham.

Unfortunately,
I have some dire news.

I've called you here tonight

because with Lunia's
disappearance on my watch,

which I do take
full responsibility for,

I will be stepping down
from my position

as Grand Inspector
of the Night Bureau.

-What?
-But it wasn't your fault.

Please don't do this.

Surely we can still find her.

It has been an honor to work
with all of you, truly.

And I'm very happy
to pass along the torch

to you, Agent Oswald.

[Beau] Hey!

So I would be in charge of...

Night Bureau International.

And our current missions?

All missions will be
assigned to your proteges

and other Dream Chasers
effective immediately.

Perhaps you can even assign
some to Agent Royce here.

Grand Inspector,
I thank you,

but I have unfinished business.

I need to find a way to destroy
the Nightmare King's sword.

Hmm... very well.

One last task.

Take the sword to the Gnorfs
in the fantasy realm.

Ask for the Unmaker.

She'll know what to do with it.

Thank you, Grand Inspector.

And Agent Oswald,
do it quickly.

The Night Bureau
needs leadership,

and others maybe
interested in this position.

Royce.
Understood.

-[dramatic music]
-[jets roaring]

What's there to think about?

Aren't you excited to lead
the entire Night Bureau?

Yes, of course.

But if Grand Inspector
Abraham is stepping down,

it means that
they've given up on Lunia.

If only I had been there.

[somber music]

I didn't mean it like that.

No, I know.
It's okay.

I think about it every day.

I feel horrible that you
had to leave Lunia's side

to save me from
the Night Terror.

Well, I'm glad he did.

I know you miss Lunia.

I just don't want you
to miss this opportunity.

Let's just find the Unmaker

and get this Gnorf to destroy
the Nightmare King's sword.

About that.

Are we sure we wanna destroy
the Nightmare King's sword?

[tense music]

Hear me out.
The sword itself isn't evil.

It depends on who wields it.

And with Lunia missing,

if something else
threatens the Dream World,

we'll need
all the help we can get.

The sword is much too powerful
for anyone to possess.

What if the Nightmare King
escaped and took it back?

We would never let that happen.

[Albert] And we're here.

[jet roaring]

[light music]

Einstein's mustache!
Albert, look.

What is it,
what are you doing?

These runes.
Look at them.

They're Dream Keeper runes.

Like the ones
on Lunia's hourglass?

Precisely.
This is a sign.

It must be her.
She know we were coming here

and left this clue
for me to come find her.

Whoa there, bucko.

I think something's jamming
up your thinking gears.

I know I'm meant to be here.

-[dramatic music]
-I can feel it.

She's calling me.
You go ahead.

I'm gonna find Lunia.

-[Beau gasping]
-[sword clanging]

Gosh darn it,
I'm... gonna go look after Oz.

Y'all good to go on up ahead?

How do we know we can trust
these Gnorfs?

Especially with the most

powerful weapon
in the Dream World.

[ominous music]

Who would come all this way
to disturb the Gnorfs?

[horses neighing]

We're agents
of the Night Bureau.

We're here to see the,
uh... Unmaker.

Dream Chasers!

[lock clicking]

Come in, come in.

So, do the Dream Chasers
have names?

I'm Hannah,
and this is Beau.

I love Dream Chasers.

-It's great to meet you.
-[bright music]

It happens so rarely these days.

I am the Dame of Destruction,
the Artifact Assassin,

the Relic Wrecker,
the one and only Unmaker!

[horses neighing]

So why did you come to see me?

We were told you would
know how to destroy this.

[tense music]

Maker, take a break.

We've got a big one.

What is so important that
you disturbed my work, sister?

Is that...?

The Nightmare King's sword.

Can you destroy it?
Unmake it?

[tense music continues]

[laughter]

Oz, old friend, this is
not why we came here.

Albert, we're
about to find Lunia.

Soon we won't have
to worry about anything.

Hmm.

[tense music]

-[Oz gasping, laughing]
-That ain't no proof.

You and I both know these ruins
could have been left here

by any Dream Keeper.

Come on. Who else
would be leaving runes

out here in
the middle of nowhere

except someone who
wants to be found?

[dramatic music]

[roaring]

Now I know I'm onto something.

[Albert grunting] Come on!

[Oz grunting]

-[g*n firing]
-Come on. Take that.

-[beast roaring]
-[body crashing]

Darn these stinkin'
Night Terrors.

Highly unpredictable with the
Nightmare King in the slammer.

[beast screeching]

[g*n firing]

Whoo-ee!
[laughing]

One down.

I'm happy for your promotion,

but dang, I'll miss
our adventures.

[beast roaring]

Yeah. Me too.

[g*n firing]

All good things
come to an end, partner.

[tense music]

We have decided
to grant your request

and Unmake the sword.

But you see,
the price of Unmaking

is an object
for the next Making.

That is the cycle.

I Unmake,

and in turn, my sister
takes that object

and Makes something new.

Oh, okay. Sure, that
makes sense... I guess.

So, what's the price
for Unmaking it?

The sword is most powerful.

We will require something
equally powerful in return.

The Spear of the Keeper.

[horses neighing]

[giggling]
This legendary weapon

is embedded deep in the heart
of the statue of Shin,

the Dream Keeper who
chose power over love.

-Legendary weapon?
-Yes.

Regretting his actions,

Shin plunged the spear
into his own heart.

The statue of Shin is
hidden deep in the forest.

Take this compass
to guide your way.

So, if you know where it is,

why don't you just
go get it yourself?

[whimsical music]

Another adventure.
Just you and me.

As long as you don't let me fall

into another pit of
ticklish gloom worms again.

Oh, you just wanted
to see me jump in after you.

You must take this
with you too.

Until our deal is done,
it is your responsibility.

[suspenseful music]

[Beau] I think
we're getting close.

Hey, Beau?

What's up?

About the sword.

Wait, you're not still thinking
about keeping it, are you?

Why wouldn't we?

It's dangerous, and it
needs to be destroyed.

Then what? What happens
next time we're outmatched?

We're Dream Chasers.

We improvise.

It's our job, and we'd
figure it out together.

Figure it out?

Lunia's the one who
trapped the Nightmare King,

and you know it.

I know, but...

What happens if
the Nightmare King escapes

and we don't have
a powerful weapon?

How many friends
are you willing to lose?

Oz? Albert?

Me?

Why would I lose you?

I wouldn't hesitate to wield
that sword to save you.

-[tense music continues]
-[wings flapping]

-Night terrors!
-[suspenseful music]

Look sharp.

[beasts roaring]

-[lance smashing]
-[Beau grunting]

One down. Wouldn't it be great
with a more powerful weapon?

[suspenseful music continues]

[Beau shouting]

Are you saying I can't
handle a few rogues?

[Hannah grunting]

No, you are more than capable.

That's one of the things
I love about...

-What was that?
-[beast shrieking]

[lance smashing]

Wait, wait.
What were you gonna say?

[soft music]

[Oz chuckling]

But what if Lunia
really is gone?

That's not possible.
It can't be.

She left these clues
here for me to find her.

And when I do, Abraham
won't even have to step down,

and I won't even have
to decide about the position.

Wait, you don't wanna
be the Grand Inspector?

-This is a major opportunity.
-[sharp gasp]

Look.

-What?
-[majestic music]

[Oz] It's Lunia.

So, Hannah?

Yeah, what's up?

What were you saying before?

I think we should
keep the sword.

No, no, no, I...
you know, after that.

Um... you think I'm capable...
[chuckling]

and that's something you...
I couldn't quite hear you.

Nope. Don't know what
you're talking about.

You know, you're
pretty capable yourself.

[giggling] Oh, stop it.

You said something about...

-[Oz] Lunia!
-What?

Oz, what are you doing here?

Einstein here thought
this statue was Lunia.

Oh, my dogs are barking.

You've been chasing
this wild goose for too long.

But...
the runes led us here.

Weren't y'all supposed
to get rid of that?

Workin' on it.

In exchange
to Unmake the sword,

we're supposed
to retrieve that.

[Beau]
The Spear of the Keeper.

Shin the legendary
Dream Keeper.

Not what I was expecting.

Ah, the Dream Keeper runes

were leading us to
the statue of a Dream Keeper,

who isn't Lunia!
Fancy that.

So it was never Lunia?

-Shin chose power over love.
-[soft music]

I wonder what happened.

As far as I remember,

story goes that when
he chose power over love,

his heart filled
with evil intent.

The only way to stop
the evil in his heart

was to plunge the spear
in of his own chest.

[spear clanging]

-What the...?
-[dramatic music]

What? We're here to get
this thing, right?

-[statue rumbling]
-[ominous music]

[Hannah grunting]

Oh, this is nice.

Do we really have to sack it

to destroy another
wicked weapon?

You really didn't get the lesson
behind the legend, did ya?

-There was a lesson?
-[stone smashing]

Huh?
[gasping]

Yeah, evil in the heart.

And don't steal
from strange statues!

Ooh, that's not good.

[magical whooshing]

[arrows whistling]

[Hannah shouting]

-[statue crashing]
-[Hannah groaning]

Ooh, double not good.

-[spear clanging]
-[suspenseful music]

[magical whooshing]

[g*ns firing]

-[Hannah shouting]
-[metal clanging]

[spear smashing]

[arrows clanging]

[spear smashing]

[Oz shouting]

My hourglass!

Forget your hourglass.

Our weapons are
useless against him.

[suspenseful music continues]

-[spear smashing]
-[Hannah grunting]

[ominous music]

[flame whooshing]

[Beau shouting] No!

[Beau grunting]

[evil laughter]

What?

What did you just do?

What I had to do.

What you've been saying
we should do all day.

And you were right.

This sword was the only thing
that could have saved you.

No, you were right.

Now that I've seen
that thing in action,

it must be destroyed.

You would've died!

You matter to me
more than anything,

and I'm going to protect you!

Like fun you are.

I can take care of myself.

I know!

[panting]

[soft music]

That's one of the things
I love about you.

[romantic music]

Well...

I love you, too.

[chuckling] You owe me a trip
to the beaches of Tropicanesia.

Is he okay?

Y'all go and do the thing.

I think Oswald needs a minute.

Look, I know you're bummed
we didn't find Lunia.

But look at the bright side,
you're gonna be the...

I'm not taking
the Grand Inspector job.

-[somber music]
-Come again?

I thought
it was what I wanted.

But being out here
for Beau and Hannah,

being responsible for my agents,

I don't wanna lose that.

You wanna keep
putting young Dreamers

in perilous situations?

You got a real dark
streak in there, Ozzy.

No. I wanna be there
for my team.

And you, Albert.

A Grand Inspector has
to look at the big picture.

I'm happier here,

focusing on the ones
who matter the most to me.

So that means Royce
is Grand Inspector.

[Oz groaning]

[light music]

-Wait, hear me out.
-Beau...

We don't have the spear,

so we can't even pay
for the sword to be Unmade.

Let's take it and leave.

We're a perfect team.

You and me...

Protectors of the Dream World.

If we have kids, we can give
them whatever they dream of

and keep the Dream World
safe for them.

We can be unbeatable
if we're together.

We can do this.

What do you say?

You did it?

I mean,
of course you did it.

Congratulations.

Uh, no.

We failed to retrieve
the Spear of the Keeper.

It, uh, well...

I insisted we bring the sword
back to you anyway.

Is there anything else we can do

to pay for it to be destroyed?

No need.
The spear was irrelevant.

Wait, wait, what?

Are you saying we went
on the quest for nothing?

-Far from nothing.
-[majestic music]

You had to go on the journey

to find the power needed
to Unmake the sword.

It was your devotion
to the Dream World's safety,

your rejection of
the sword's temptation,

and your honesty in
facing your true feelings

for one another.

You passed!

-[majestic music continues]
-[sword sliding]

Let's Unmake that sword.

Thank you.

[hammer banging]

Well, that only took ten years.

What did I miss?

We had it,

the answer to protecting
the entire Dream World together.

But it was the wrong way.

We'll figure it out...
together.

[soft music]

[thuds, creaking]

[jets roaring]

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.
Just thinking.

Penny for your thoughts?

[Beau] I was just
thinking about our team.

I think we have a bright
future ahead of us.

Many more adventures
on the horizon.

[dramatic music]

Well, the next adventure
is gonna have to wait.

It's almost morning.

Mm. Ah, that's okay.

We have plenty of time.

-[clock ticking]
-[dramatic music continues]
