01x10 - Mister Madera

[bunniefuu]

- Leo!
- Leave that box.

No, I want it.

Besides, you got your ham.

[sighs]

- Unh!
- Whoa!

Hey, watch it. You almost broke it.

Broke what?

Something awesome that I found
in that mysterious antique shop.

Oh, my...

What the heck is that doll?

- It's not a doll. It's an action figure.
- It's not an action figure, it's evil.

He's not evil, he's just...
Your ham is evil.

[Teodora] You have to be kidding me.

How can a ham be evil?

I got them, I got them. Ha, ha!

[thud]

Finally.

- Gadzooks.
- It's hideous.

What is that horrid thing?

It's not a doll.

Yeah, it's a limited edition
action figure.

If it makes everybody happy,
I'll keep it in the box.

Now can we start dinner?

I'm starving.

Whoa, you also brought ham?

Yeah, and according to Leo, it's evil.

Evil ham?

- Wait for me.
- Aah!

Ham, ham, ham.

[chuckling]

Leo?

What's he doing?

[all shudder]

Are you serious?

[whistling]

There you go.

Do you like your meal, Mr. Madera?

Yikes.

What? He was hungry.

Right, Mr. Madera?

[speaks in Spanish]

Scary.

Oh, lighten up, guys.

- Hey, when's the evil ham gonna be ready?
- I don't know.

I haven't cooked with evercoal before.

Well, if that stuff powers the whole ship,
it must be strong.

Isn't that right, Mr. Madera?

[speaks in Spanish]

The boy's lost it.

My ham.

That doll stole it.

Huh?

Really? Ha.

Come on. You can't...

It just moved.

Teodora, did you see it move?

No, but it wouldn't surprise me.

[Leo] All right.

Ha, ha. We've all had a good laugh.

- Now...
- It's gone.

Huh?

Can we all just calm down?

- It fell under the table.
- Not here.

[moaning]

[laughing]

- Idiot.
- All right.

Marcella, what are you doing?

[both grunting]

Give it back. Give it back. Ha-ha-ha!

[grumbling]

Hey, that was mine.

Aren't you too old
to be playing with dolls?

It wasn't a doll, it was an action figure.

As if that's any better.

Was I too hard on him?

Not really. Look what I found.

Tsukumogami.

It's a charmed doll that,
after its 100th birthday,

comes to life to feed the souls
of the living and the dead.

[Don Andres]
Oh, thank heavens. I'm famished.

[Teodora]
Hang on. Sorry.

Feed on the souls. It feeds on the souls
of the living and the dead.

I have to tell Leo. I'll be right back.

If you hadn't got rid of that thing,
I would have.

There, there, champ. Calm down.

Stupid Marcella and her stupid stupidness.

I'll show you who's too old.

Huh. Huh?

Mr. Madera, you came back to me.
Boy, am I glad to see you again.

[Alebrije] Leo?

[stammering]

I'm coming!

Oh, hi, Alebrije. What's up?

Well, hello. Is Teodora with you?

What? No.

Yeah, no. Yeah, no.

If you see her,
tell her I have her Teodora doll.

Okay, I will.

Wait, her what?

She left it in the galley.

Hi-ya.

Teodora doesn't own a doll.

Sorry, sorry.

"Action figure."

The likeness is uncanny.

She's just like the real one.

It showed up right after she disappeared?

Wait. You don't think...?

That this isn't an action figure?

That it's Teodora or what is left of her
after having her spirit energy drained

by a soul-eating doll we thought was gone
when Marcella tossed it overboard?

- Well, that's kind of specific but...
- Yes, I considered that but I rejected it.

Alebrije, there's something
in this drawer you need to see.

Leo, it better be socks.

Oh, it is socks.

All right, put on some socks and...

[screaming]

- [Marcella] We've searched everywhere.
- I know every bolt of this ship.

Plus, some of the other bits.
Nails, wood...

- She isn't in any of them.
- Maybe she took the lifeboat.

Why? She's not alive.

Anyway, I checked.
Lifeboat's still tethered.

What's in there?

In there?

Pfft. Nothing.

Bed, socks, an evil door knob
that won't latch.

That's the reason why
we're holding the door so unsuspiciously.

- Huh?
- Oh?

Should have said it before.
Let me help you with that door.

Oh, thanks, you're a doll.

Wait.

This door's latched already.
What are you guys hiding in there?

Leo, it better be socks.

- Were you gonna tell us it's back?
- I was considering it.

[footsteps]

- I thought you trapped it.
- I thought you threw it overboard.

I thought we were gonna have ham.

Who's up for a good skedaddle?

[metal door clangs]

- The engine room. Come on.
- Marcella, wait.

Marcella?

- Aah!
- Ooh.

This is not the best time
to lie down, my boy.

[groaning]

[footsteps]

Don Andres? Alebrije?

[screaming]

Don't worry, guys. I'll fix this.

[clanging]

Giant, living sugar skulls?

Okay.

How badly did I hit my head?

Huh?

Oddly enough, this isn't the weirdest
thing that's happened to me today.

Thank goodness that noise stopped. Wait.

Why is it so quiet? Aah!

What is this? Are we praying?

This is hardly the time for...

Actually, this is exactly the time.

Hello, Leo.

Where am I?

You're still in the engine room
of your sky ship.

This is the easiest way for us to talk.

Finado and Moribunda keep me versed
on your progress, your mission.

Leo, look closer.

Decatur said we'd need a device to play it
and we don't have one of those.

You mean that thing?

Wait. Do you expect moi
and this feeble, decrepit, gassy geezer

to carry you both straight up this climb?

My ham.

The ham?

Look closer.

[Leo] Sugar skulls did all that?

They did, they took the ham.

The fight against Quetzalcoatl
and his army is not yours alone, Leo.

Well, no. I have friends...

Had. They're not themselves anymore.

Tsukumogami are soulless, spirit-stealing
predators. They can hear no reason.

[Leo]
So, there's no way to save my friends?

My concern is saving you.

Quetzalcoatl and a hundred evils
are poised to fall by your hand.

I doubt it.

I brought this Tsuku-goo-moo thingy
on board and now my friends are gone!

Ow!

Ow! What?
Did you just throw a coconut at me?

Don't be absurd.

Ow!

What the heck are you doing?

Find higher ground, Leo.

Untether.

What does that mean? And who are you?

[shudders]

And I... And I... And I...

[screaming]

Where are you guys taking me?

Higher ground.

Goodbye.

[yelling]

Oh, I hope the dream lady
can tell me what to do.

[clattering]

[screaming]

I'm just saying that I know
it's all my fault and that I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't bring us back, Leo.

Don't you think I know that, Marcella?
Teodora, help.

Leave Leo alone, Marcella.

I know we only started
getting along for some reason,

but that doesn't mean
I'll let you tear my friend to pieces.

Ah-ha! I knew you were only pretending
to side with me against Leo.

It's because he's so handsome, isn't it?

[chuckling]

And, boy, he smells terrific.

Indubitably.

Blah, blah-blah, blah-blah-blah!

Alebrije, Alebrije,
let's destroy the evil Quetzalcoatl.

But we cannot do it alone.
We need Leo.

Yes, the incredible, the amazing
and the handsome Leo.

[rumbling]

Cool. Ham!

What else? What else we have?
We have this...?

Mm. A letter.

"Dear Leo, Hi.

We went to try and land the ship.

Stay here. We'll be right back.

The world needs you to stop Quetzalcoatl.

Cordially, Finado and Moribunda,

your sugar skulls.

Uh, oh.

P.S. Don't eat the ham.

It's evil."

Ah-ha! I knew it.

Sugar skulls.

[gasps]

Everything's fine. Don't look down.
Everything's fine.

Everything's fine, baby.

I'm starting to think
the air's a little thin up here.

You can't stay up here
talking to dolls, Leo.

And the ship's heading towards
an active volcano.

There's nothing you could do.
Stay here, we'll think on something, baby.

It's up to me.

Don't leave me, baby.

I'm sorry, ham, but I have to do this.

[shudders]

Ugh.

Untether.

[yelling]

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Sorry.

Did what you said.

Now what?

Get the Esfera, Leo.

The Esfera? For what?

The Esfera is what you need
to defeat Quetzalcoatl.

Wait. What about my friends?

Ah. The Esfera.

[screaming]

This is really fun, right?

Oh, sorry.

Was it a solo thing?

No, we can share.

Teodora, Don Andres.

You're alive.

Really?

Oh, I mean, no, but you're here.

I don't sound like that.

You totally sound like that.

Wait. Were you guys conscious
the whole time?

The air was thin. I was loopy.

I'm sorry.

[Marcella]
No, I'm the one who should be sorry.

I was wrong about you, Leo.

So was I.

[chuckling]

Who wants breakfast?

Yes.

Please.

Potato pancakes!

Give me six hours.

Um...

Why don't you let Leo and me
peel the potatoes, Don Andres?

My hero.

Back at you.
