Rene? Yeah, I know, poor guy, right? No, no, no.

Patricia, what is it? Do you know who this man is? Okay.

Okay, he's not jerome's uncle.

- He's a private investigator.

Ugh, again.

What is this, like, a regular thing for him? So why is he hiring a p.

I.

This time? Hold on, mara.

I want to know about last time.

It's Something to do with
-with his dad.

Maybe he wants to clear his name.

I can't believe jerome told you first And not me.

Yeah, well, me and jerome are really close these days.

Are you? Since when? Well, I mean not like close, close.

Anyway, I've got to go and help joy With her macrame.

Hey.

It's okay.

We'll have the mask by tomorrow night.

Your gran's gonna be fine.

What else did senkhara say? We have until sundown, And then she's coming after us, One by one.

Oh, perfect.

All we need to do is get through a sheet of unbreakable glass.

I mean, why are we even worrying? Bad, bad, bad news.

Trust me, nothing you could say Could make this day any worse.

Rufus has taken jerome.

What? And I'm wrong.

Is there anything else before I call it a night, victor? Tell me, vera, Never mind where I got it.

I do mind.

I mind very much, actually.

Tell me you are not in touch with rufus zeno.

Tell me he did not send you here.

Victor, what are you talking about? Who is rufus zeno? You are lying! Rufus is still alive, and you are not to be trusted! Victor, it's not what you think.

You're working for him, aren't you? No.

Of course I'm not, but I do know him.

He's insane.


-He's after the mask?
- Yes
-.

And you have been helping him! No, I am on your side.

I was just using him for information; that's all.

Of course you were.

Rufus doesn't want the mask for the tears of gold Or for its monetary value.

He's got this absolutely insane and crazy
-
- Enough! You have betrayed me.

I want you gone from here by first thing tomorrow morning.

Do I make myself clear? Victor, please, think about what you're saying.

My feelings for you have always been genuine.

As well have I.

Well, then why throw it all away After everything that we have been through? We have plans.

What about our dreams? Enough, vera! It's over! You are no longer required.

I still don't understand what jerome's playing at.

No emails, no texts, no calls.

Come on, jerome.

Where are you? So are you and him, like, an item now? What? Me and jerome? No.

Why would you even think that? Well, um, the way he treats you like a queen And how he treats everyone else like scum.

Oh, and, um, that picture.

Yeah, right.

I care about him; that's all.

I want to know he's all right.

It's complicated, okay? trust me.

I know complicated.

so? What's the problem? mick.

Captain australia? Isn't he just kind of like a glorified pen pal? Oh, no.

He was more than that, way more.

Was? Past tense, mara.

Hey, while we're dishing out advice, When are you going to tell patricia That she's actually in a relationship? mara burn.

Ouch.

Good luck with that.

Thanks.

Past tense.

G'day! Mick! What are you doing here? Oh, I flew over with my dad's on his business trip after all.

I was just about to message you in australia.

I'm not there.

Okay, sibunas, here's the plan.

Patricia, alfie, fabian, First thing tomorrow morning, you guys will go to the barn.

See if rufus is keeping jerome there.

Amber and I will go see if we can find the way To open that mask cabinet.

Pity frobisher
-smythe couldn't leave a spare key Under the mat like any normal person.

Wait.

What if he did? Remember trudy's dollhouse clue? About a key in the seat of learning? What if it meant a real key all along? So you think there might be a spare key Hidden somewhere in the library? Well, if there is, we need to get it Before victor does or vera.

Or rufus.

No.

No, no, no.

But I had to see you So we could talk things through face
-to
-face.

That's what the internet's for.

You can't just leave the country Every time you want to chat.

Mara, I've just flown halfway around the world To see you.

Some girls might find that romantic.

Some girls might even want to give a guy a hug.

This is crazy.

You are crazy.

It's 10 o'clock! You have five minutes, precisely.

Some things never change.

Do you want to make some plans for tomorrow? We could go off campus for some lunch.

Mick Campbell, Mara jaffray, Why are you not in your rooms? Mick campbell? Mick! Mick! What are you doing here, buddy? Yo, mick.

G'day.

Good to see you guys.

Fly
-in visit.

Enough! Why is nobody ready for bed? And as for you, mick campbell
-
- Yeah, I'm going.

I'll see you guys tomorrow, yeah? Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Good night, mara.

Good night.

See you, mick.

Bed! Oh, yes, going upstairs.

I have obviously been allowing things to slip around here.

Well, not anymore.

You have five minutes, precisely! Do you hear me? Five minutes! Okay, are we ready to go break out jerome? Yeah.

Alfie? Look, I've been thinking.

You and amber should take joy with you today.

It's not going to be easy searching the library While they're packing up the exhibition.

Fabian's right.

We could use the extra set of eyes.

She's in.

Hello, hello.

So, uh How was your gran last night, nina? The same, but I'm hoping for a full recovery very soon If we can give her at she needs.

Which we will.

A little optimistic maybe? I mean, she's in a coma, right? Eddie.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Okay.

My bad.

No, we're going.

What? No.

Alfie, we' going.

I've actually cracked a safe.

I've been spending way too much time in jail.

Gotcha.

Just checking you're not getting up to any mischief.

Vera, finally.

What have you got to report? That must be rufus' car.

He's still inside.

Okay, we outnumber rufus three to one, So when I give the signal, att*ck.

N
-
-no.

Let's stake the place out first, See if he leaves.

If he does, we try and break in, See if jerome's in there.

Or we can play it your way.

All right, come on.

Let's go.

My cover's been blown.

Victor wronged me.

No! Go, jerome! Do something! Fabian! Jerome.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Fabian! Get back.

Jerome? Come out, come out, wherever you are.

You really think that you could get away with it that easily? You are a valuable pawn! And a little leverage goes a long way! Follow me.

Let's see if we can get a better look.

Mara.

Mick, don't do that.

Sorry.

Do you still want to come to lunch later I thought we could chat.

Yeah, I guess there's quite a lot to talk about.

Mara, any sign of jerome yet? Um, sorry.

He's supposed to be at dad's parole hearing this afternoon.

I'd call mum, but she doesn't want to know.

Jerome won't let you down.

He'll point her out with his mysterious private eye.

Will you come with me? Please? Well, I was supposed to
-
- Mm
-mm, go.

Lunch can wait.

Thanks.

Well, if you want some moral support, I could come too, if you like.

I like.

Cool.

This would be so much easier Without all these crates lying around.

Well, it's all getting shipped out tomorrow.

Might be best to try then.

There's no time.

Come on.

Let's look upstairs.

Wait.

A key, it's a key.

And there's something written underneath.

Yes? Wings? Of course.

Lift the wings to find the book.

The doll riddle.

Doll riddle? Joy, we don't have time for a rookie recap.

The doll led victor to the library.

He was looking over here.

And trudy, when she was trapped with the dollhouse, She saw a picture of a key, And she said something about wings and the seat of learning.

Yes.

This was meant to hold the book of !sis but didn't.

Let's see if it holds something else now.

Sure there isn't an excuses book in there too? Because if jasper comes back, we're gonna need them.

Joy, breathe.

This is how we roll.

Yes.

Let's go.

Aha, so this is where you've all been hiding.

Mr.

Sweet.

"At the portal of the mind, the weeping paragon will find.

" find what? I need to know.

I have neglected my research for far too long.

"A field of rushes.

" What does that mean, corbiere? Hmm? And where are the other anubis house students, hmm? Fabian, alfie, patricia, eddie? I don't know.

We were just Researching an article for the jackal.

That was an extracurricular activity, joy.

And don't let the recent success of the jackal go to your head, Or I may have to reconsider its future after all, hmm? Now, get to class immediately.

We'll have to come back later.

And if you see any of the others, Tell them to make haste to my office.

I shall be having words.

Now, hurry up.

Festina lente.

And this library passage, it leads to the mask of anubis? Good.

Soon the mask of anubis will be mine.

It's not too late to share it with me, vera.

The mask of anubis is our passport To the egyptian afterlife where we will reign as gods.

Rufuis a fruit loop.

All that stuff about being a god is just crazy talk, right? Right? Yeah, but what if it isn't? What if that's what senkhara wants, To enter the afterlife and become a god.

Great.

Let her go, and she can take her tats and hexes with her.

No, think about this.

The egyptians thought you couldn't Enter the afterlife without a body.

That's why they mummified people.

Senkhara hasn't got a body.

Exactly.

Remember amber, asking how a ghost with no body Was planning on wearing a mask? Senkhara isn't going to wear it.

She isn't? She's going to make nina wear it.

What, s
-so senkhara's gonna, like, Take nina into the afterlife with her? We can't let nina put on that mask.

I need to go and warn her.

Well, go.

We'll be able to handle this.

So fabian's dealing with a body
-snatching she
-demon, And we get rufus.

I still think we drew the short straw.

Yeah.

Rufus is gone.

Maybe now is our chance.

Jerome.

Eddie.

Their trials complete, A field of rushes, their owned true seat.

Rushes.

The ancient name for the afterlife.

The land of the gods.

So that is what rufus wants.

Any sign of jerome? No.

If he doesn't come in time, Will you read the article? I think you should read it, poppy.

I can't.

I get all nervous.

I'm already getting flashbacks to my seventh grade recital.

I puked Down my recorder.

Hi, poppy.

Mara Where's jerome?
-He stood us up.


-He'll be here.

This is jerome clarke we're talking about.

He's changed.


-Really?
-Yeah.

I was tired of your lame excuses.

I thought you were seeing someone else, So I decided to follow you.

That's so romantic.

so stalky.

Hey, I'm pretty regular compared to most of the things That are going on around here.

Well, you still haven't told us how you ended up in here.

Well, I saw fake uncle rene grab jerome And you guys creeping in.

So I didn't intend on following you guys, But then uncle crazy came out and caught me.

What about jerome? I don't know.

I hit my head.

Um, I think he took him.

I can't remember.

Even my concussion has a concussion.

Serves you right for spying on me.

Thanks for the sympathy, yacker.

Stuff sympathy.

We need to get you out of here.

Yeah, and double
-quick time.

Jerome still needs rescuing from that madman.

Okay, okay.

just fingers crossed, and watch out for booby traps.

Yes.

Here it is.

Come and get it! How come joy can see her when she hasn't been stamped? Senkhara's getting what she wants.

She doesn't care who sees her now.

Finally, it is mine.

Put it on.

What? Put it on.

Don't put it on.

Why does she want you to put it on? Nina!
-Stop!
-Do not listen to him.

No, she wants to take you to the afterlife with her.

If you put on that mask, we lose you forever.

What? You and I can live together forever, chosen one, In the golden field of rushes.

No, look, you have to listen to me.

Please don't put on that mask.

Put it on.

Then will you lift the curse off my gran and my friends? Yes, now put on the mask.
