04x16 - The Curse of the Screaming Skull

[bunniefuu]

♪♪

Hey, Leo, where you been?

I just finished watching
a 24-hour horror movie marathon.

I was so scared, I chewed
through all my fingernails.

But on the bright side,
I had a big bowl of popcorn,

so they were delightfully tasty.

Guys, how is our first
Halloween at the academy

going to be spooky
when all we have

is this pathetic little box
of Halloween decorations?

And, uh, what is this
disgusting slime

in the trick-or-treat bowl?

Oh, that's not slime.
That's last year's pumpkin.

I'm surprised it didn't keep.

[ Sniffs, gags ]

Ew!

Hey, guys.

Bob, what are you doing here?

All the other students
are out with Mr. Davenport

on a field trip to the Davenport
birthplace and museum.

Gosh darn it, I can't
believe I'm missing that.

Really, Bob?

Oh, come on.
Part of the tour

is him re-enacting his birth.

This kid might be
smarter than we thought.

Ooh, smoothie.

Maybe not.

Later, machine people.

I'm taking the metal detector
to the beach

to look for
other people's money.

So what, you're done
going through our wallets?

Yep. How do you think
I paid for this thing?

If you need me, I'll be at
the island across the way.

What island?
The deserted one?

Yeah. Care to join me?

There's room for two
in my inflatable kayak.

If you're good, we could play

shipwrecked passenger
and curious island native.

How about we play
shipwrecked passenger

and rescue pilot
who just keeps flying?

Hey, I've always wondered
about that island.

Oh, maybe there are waterfalls.

And caves.

Maybe we'll be introduced
to cool new species of insects.

And then, we can introduce them
to an uncool species of human.

Trust me. You don't wanna
go to that island.

From what I hear,
that place is uninhabited

for a reason.

It's a scary jungle
full of venomous snakes,

rabid bats and toxic plants
that cause rashes.

Rashes don't bother me.

I'm rarely without one.

I'm headed to the mainland
for a supply run.

Just promise me
you won't go there.

Sure. No problem.

Well, I'm off to
that other island.

Hey, Douglas just
told you not to go there.

Yeah, well, the only voices
I listen to

are the three inside my head.

The world's first
bionic superhumans.

They're stronger than us.

Faster, smarter.

The next generation
of the human race is...

living on a bionic island.

Douglas was right.

- This place is creepy.
- [ bird squawking ]

Okay, seen it, saw it,
done, Dooley out.

Leo.

I can't believe you.

You just watched
a horror movie marathon

and now you're scared?

I am not scared.

I wanna leave for
a very manly reason.

I have a blister
on my pinky toe.

The island is full of
animals I've never seen before.

Some of them aren't even
in my database.

Whoa! Here comes one crashing
through the underbrush.

I bet it's an exotic wild boar.

[ Angry muttering ]

You were right.

Why are you wearing gloves?

Don't wanna devalue any rare
finds with my oily fingers.

Also, I'm on an island
with three people I despise.

Mom always said,
"Never leave fingerprints."

Have you ever even found anything
valuable with that thing?

For your information,

I found my grandma's
lost wedding ring.

It's been in my family
for generations.

Wow. That's actually
kind of sweet.

Yeah. I made a bundle on it
when I sold it back to her.

Well, this island
is obviously uninhabited,

so I highly doubt
you'll find anything here.

[ Loud beeping ]

Jackpot!

Pay day. A skull found out here
in the middle of nowhere.

It's gotta be
some sort of treasure.

I'm gonna make a fortune!

You know that's not
a real skull, right?

It's made of metal.

Looks more human than those two.

I've heard about ancient relics being
taken from their resting place.

They say bad things happen
to the people that remove them.

What harm is taking
a little old skull gonna do?

Let's let Boney decide.

Hey, Boney, do you mind
if I take you?

Of course not.

Sell me.

Just keep me away
from these losers.

Look, that skull is creepy,

and more importantly,
it doesn't belong to you.

- Leave it.
- You guys are wimps.

Fine. If you're that freaked
out, I'll put it back.

- Good.
- Let's go.

Suckers.

Come on, Boney,
let's get outta here.

You remind me of my grandma

the second time I took her ring.

[ Cackling laughter ]

Hey, Bob, check out this prank
I set up for Halloween.

Awesome.
Who's Halloween?

Halloween is not a person.

It's the best holiday ever.

Oh, right, you're a blank slate

because of Krane's mind control.

Plus I don't have a good memory.

And I'm not
a very good listener.

Plus I don't have a good memory.

Halloween is a holiday
where you scare people.

You can help me prank
Chase, Bree and Leo.

- Cool.
- Here they come.

Quick, distract them so I can
spring this on them.

- They'll never see it coming.
- On it.

- Hi, guys.
- Hey, Bob, what you doing?

I'm distracting you
so Adam can scare you

with this fake Halloween thingy.

I am so glad
you and Adam found each other.

Bob. You can't warn people they're
gonna be scared before you scare them.

Who would be scared
when they know it's coming?

- [ Cackling laughter ]
- [ screaming ]

Authentic vintage collectible.

Made out of...

rare black gold.

She lied to us and took the
skull from the island.

We're cursed.

Relax. I've been with
the skull all day.

Nothing bad has happened to me.

A little heartburn around noon.

I got a chunk of hot dog
stuck in the old air hose,

but I'll work it out by dinner.

Just because nothing
bad has happened yet

doesn't mean it won't.

In that movie, Skull Apocalypse,

a group of kids dug up
a cursed skull,

and one by one,
they all d*ed horrible deaths

because there's
no cheating fate.

We're all gonna die.

Good to see you're
not over-reacting.

That's exactly what the pretty
brown-haired girl said

right before she became
the pretty brown-haired girl

on a hook.

Perry, you shouldn't
have taken it from that island.

You don't know
who buried it there or why.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
In Skull Apocalypse,

there was this really tall
man in blue jean overalls,

and he had no face.

Okay, Leo, relax.

It was just a movie.

Was it, Bree?

Or was it a premonition?

We're all gonna die!

Stop saying that!

That is it. This thing is going
back where it belongs.

Wait. They're
already bidding on it.

Oh, never mind.

I'll just find a real skull
and spray paint it.

You've got a nice one.

Sorry I messed up your prank.

But this will make up for it.

Welcome to Bob's
house of terror.

Everything in the world
I find horrifying.

Cool. Let's see
what you got.

First up, old math tests.

And...

a potato whose eyes follow you

no matter where you go.

Finally, the most
horrifying of all.

Come on, Bob. No one
thinks Santa's scary.

Are you kidding?

A strange man
breaks into your house

in the middle of the night
and steals your cookies.

No, thank you.

Bob, sh.
He's watching.

He is?

Yeah. He sees you
when you're sleeping,

he knows when you're awake.

Oh my, he is creepy.

[ High-pitched squealing ]

What's wrong?

Dooley was right.
The skull is cursed.

Over the last hour,

I've had three
near-fatal accidents.

That's two more
than my daily average.

Okay, what are you
talking about?

First, I was in the shower

when the glass door
shattered into jagged pieces.

Then, I drew a bath,
but the blow dryer fell in,

electrocuting the water.

So then, I hopped into
the kitchen sink,

but my foot got stuck
in the garbage disposal.

Why were you that determined
to get clean?

I'm like a lizard.

Once a year, I shed
my top layer.

There's a whole skin
outline of me

circling the drain.

- [ Creaking noise ]
- What was that?

See? What did I tell you?

Okay, okay,
everyone just calm down.

This is probably just
a freakish coincidence.

Nothing to be scared of.

That is not a coincidence.

This is just like the movie.

You brought the curse back,
and now we're doomed.

Okay, everyone just calm down.

If we stay still, nothing bad
can happen to us, right?

My hairpiece.

Okay, well, there you have it.

The curse is real,
and her hair is not.

The knives came flying
right at me.

And then the fireplace
sh*t a fireball right at us.

That's why my hair
smells like barbecue.

That's not why your hair
smells like barbecue.

This is now officially
a deathtrap island,

just like in that movie
Deathtrap Island.

Okay, let me get this straight.

Only the people
who took the skull

- from the island are cursed, right?
- Yes.

Oh, cool. Then Bob and I
are all good.

Don't stand there, Bob.

Bad things are gonna
happen to 'em.

Oh, you mean the knives
and the ceiling fan?

That wasn't a curse.

- That was Chase.
- What?

Yeah. I saw him setting up
his own house of terror.

He used his magnetism app
to control those knives.

I would've told you guys
earlier,

but I didn't wanna ruin
the surprise.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why would Chase do that?

Because I want to k*ll you!

[ All screaming ]

The curse must've possessed
him and made him crazy.

Wow. Chase, you are way better
at scaring people than Adam.

You really look like
you're gonna s*ab me.

- [ Grunting ]
- [ screaming ]

I don't get it. Why would
the skull only curse Chase?

This is exactly like what
happened in this other movie,

When Cursed Friends k*ll,

where a curse made this
kid turn into a monster

and go after all of his friends.

Okay, where do you even
find these movies?

I had to special order
that one from Finland.

Ah, Finland.

A little-known fact.

They invented dogs.

Okay, we have to stop Chase
before he hurts anyone.

Here, robot, use my laser cuffs.

If this skull is really cursed,

we have to get rid of it.

I'm taking it back
to the island.

Wait.

I'll miss you.

What's going on?

You came back to rescue me.

Take me away from this place.
We can live on the run.

No looking back.

I know a guy who can
get us new passports

and jobs at a tire factory
in Uzbekistan.

This is all your fault, Perry.

You're the one who brought
the skull back from the island

and cursed Chase.

You went to the island?

The one I said specifically
not to go to?

Sorry, Dougie.

I've been a bad, bad girl.

Let's work on
my punishment together.

And while you were there,
you found a skull

made of shiny black metal?

How did you know that?

Because I know what's going on.

It's not a curse.

Chase has a virus

that I created
during my evil days.

It turns people psychotic,

and makes them want to
annihilate everyone.

Why would you ever
create such a thing?

I was going through
a rough patch,

and wanted to watch
societies destroy each other.

Can you say anything wrong?

I never meant for it to be used.

It was in my big box of evil.

So when I saw
that uninhabited island,

I thought I might be able
to bury my past

where nobody would ever go.

Why didn't you just
destroy the virus?

I guess I figured
it would be good to have around

in case I ever got
the evil bug again.

Spend enough time with me and
you're bound to catch something.

You guys are cute.

I should grab Bree,
and we can double date.

The skull was just
an old paperweight.

It got contaminated when I
spilled some of the virus on it.

That's why I buried it.

Anyone who touches it
becomes a crazed maniac.

Crazed maniac.

But I'm the one who found it,

and it didn't turn me evil.

Probably because
you're already there.

No, you were protected by
the gloves you were wearing.

Wait, so Chase turned into
a deranged maniac

because of the virus
you created?

Yeah!

This Halloween thing
is way too complicated.

When's the holiday

where we go around
the yard laying eggs?

Guys.

This is just like
that movie where...

- ALL: Shut it!
- Shut it!

Where's the skull?

We have to destroy it before
anyone else gets infected.

[ Gasps ] Bree has it. She's
taking it to the island.

What?! If she touched it,
she's infected.

We have to find her
before it's too late.

This is just like that...

Actually, this isn't
like anything.

I may go to Finland and
pitch this to the studios.

Look, Bob, watch Chase.

Don't try anything funny,

or I'm gonna write
a letter to Santa

and tell him all about you.

Wow, Bree.

Your eyes look
really pretty today.

I'm gonna rip out your heart.

You already have, snookums.

You already have.

Guys.

Anybody.

Bob. What happened?

I found Bree.
She's infected now, too.

You're lucky
she didn't hurt you.

Oh, she's going to.

She just wants to find a tool

that will inflict the most pain.

I think this may be
the most attention

she's ever given me.

According to my calculations,

we have a 62% chance of
taking them out in one sh*t

if we can lure them all
into the pool

and charge the water with at least


But whoever's wearing
rubber-soled shoes

may be protected from the shock.

Stop talking, or I'm
taking you out first.

Let's go get 'em.

You know,

when I made the virus,
I probably should've

created an antidote for it.

You don't have an antidote?

No. When creating
deadly viruses,

the cure is
somebody else's problem.

There's no cure for what
I got for you, either.

The virus has infected
their human tissue.

We'd have to be surgeons
to remove it.

Great. So we send Bob
to medical school,

and meet back here in 20 years.

Actually, better make it 21.

I need a year to find myself.

What about Big D.'s
nano-bots?

They're like
microscopic surgeons

that seek out
diseased cells and destroy them.

He told me he didn't
bring those to the island.

That's because he didn't
want you using them

to experiment on the students.

Yeah, that was a good call.

I put the nano-bots in this
high-tech tranquilizer pen.

We just have to get
close enough to Bree and Chase

to inject them into
their bloodstream.

Let's go find them.

- No need.
- [ screaming ]

We found you.

I don't like this.

I wanna be a blank slate again.

- Trick or treat!
- Adam, take 'em out!

Actually, I'm gonna
take you out.

Let's do it, guys.

Oh, no. He must've
touched the skull, too.

There's no way we can fight off

three deranged
bionic superhumans.

You're right, Dooley.
We are all gonna die.

You first.

What just happened?

I used my heat vision
to fake like I was infected

so I could get
close enough to 'em

to inject 'em.

Good thinking.

But how'd you get your skin
to look like that?

Oh, I used some of
Bree's makeup.

She's got some good stuff
in her purse.

Smell me.

It's razzleberry body mist.

Adam, I can't believe
you came up with that idea

all on your own.

That may be the smartest
thing he's ever done.

[ All agreeing ]

Yep, who knew it would
come down to me

and this little tranquilizer
thingy to save the day?

You guys really don't
remember anything

about becoming possessed
and trying to destroy us?

BOTH: Nope.

And you don't remember
borrowing $200 from me?

BOTH: Nope.

Then it was 300.

I don't understand any of this.

And how come there was
a potato in front of my face

when I came to?

It's weird.

It's like its eyes
are following me.

Well, it's time to get that
skull back where it belongs.

Buried with the rest
of my evil past.

Now, where is it?

It's right here.

I'm going to destroy you all.

Merry Halloween.

Come on, Bob.

You know you're not
supposed to touch that.

Give it to me.

I'll go get the nano-bots.
