01x03 - Sewer Koi and The Museum Heist

[bunniefuu]

JIN: When does
destiny stop shaking?

MR. BURNISH: Steady,
Duchess, steady.

-Aah. Aah. Um...

-The creature must be close.

Or giant. Or both!

I can't see anything though.

-What are you doing?
Stop, drop, and roll.

No, wait, that's for a fire.

-What do we do?

No, no, no. Don't you dare
do your "nap hug" on me.

It will not work. No, sir.

: This conversation
isn't over.

I'm just gonna go
take a quick nap.

-Don't worry, our innovative
magic-identifying tech

will have a lock on what kind
of creature it is in no time.

Wait. Something's wrong.

I wasn't saying you were wrong,

just the data or the
software or the... hardware?

-Way to shield!
Thanks, Fèng huáng.

Come out, giant creature who
is probably not terrifying.

- What'd I miss?
- Kinda nothing.

-Ah, that's a relief.
And I needed that nap.

Five stars! Thanks, buddy.

-Fèng huáng, you
saw the creature.

What did it look like?
It's a... flying creature?

-Those aren't wings.
They're tentacles.

-Ooh-ooh-oh, it's a
flying worm-sicle!

A... An angry lobster?

-Hold up. Wait,
what are you doing?

-There's a creature out
there who needs our help.

We have to find it.

My music called it before.
- Exactly!

Music called creature.
Creature caused earthquake.

Ergo,music equals earthquake!

-Earthquake music. Cool!

-It wasn't that
bad. We're all fine.

-This time.

We don't know anything about
what we're dealing with.

We should locate where
the shaking came from

and see what we can
learn about the creature

before, like, sending
it a magical DM.

-Great point. Let's do that!

-Or I play and we just ask
the creature what it needs.

-Also great point!

This is our first official
creature-helping mission,

and I'm too excited
to make decisions!

-It is our first mission,

which is why we should
do things properly.

Mr. Burnish, you agree with me?

-Quite right.

To do things properly, we
need to go back to square one.

Redo all the wiring,
triple-check the programing...

I know it was a rush job,

but we were doing
the whole, "Surprise!

We built you a secret
headquarters" thing.

Like in those home shows.

-We'll find the creature, okay?

But we have to be
smart about it.

Let's split up to
cover more ground.

-Guess we're doing your thing.

Ergo, Jin's the boss.

All right, dialed in.

Where are you?

-Did I miss the part where we
actually talked about the plan?

Everyone just seemed
to know where to go.

Was I supposed to go somewhere
or stay here with you?

-Jin!

Am I supposed to
be down here or...

-Ask Yi. She's the boss.

Yi! Yi, wait up!

Do you know where...
I'm supposed to be?

-I don't know. Ask Jin.

This is his plan that
is totally not working.

-Jin said you were the boss.

-He said that?

'Cause my plan was to play
again, and we didn't do that.

So clearly he's the...

Wait. Wa... Wait, actually
shouldn't you be with Everest

in case the creature
does show up on the roof?

-That's where I was!

Uh-uh, stairs!

Why am I walking like a person
who doesn't have rocket sneaks,

when I am a person who
does have rockets sneaks?

Uh, oh, aah!

Ah! Uh! Ugh!

Aah! Ugh! Ugh!

Ugh, I guess rocket
sneaks are not for inside.

-Scanning. Nothing here.

Ooh, what's that?

Oh, okay. Maybe...
Maybe this will work.

Uh, oh. No, that doesn't... Ow!

Oh, my face!

Boy, that shaking really
knocked stuff over.

-Come on, creature.

Come out, come out
wherever you are.

Who am I kidding?
This isn't working.

I'm sorry, but there's
a creature out there

who needs our help.

Yi, that's not the plan!

- Oh! Oh-oh-oh!
- Aah!

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Yes, two shares.

-Sewer Koi!

-Did someone say fish?
Fish sounds good!

-Or ice cream.

Or chicken!

Obviously, I'm getting
the special sauce.

-Why didn't you follow it?

-Are you seriously asking me
why I didn't go into a sewer?

Have we met?

And why didn't you tell me
what you were going to do?

I could have been hit by
the flying... sewer thingy!

- But you weren't!
- But I could have been.

-Why are you still here?

The Sewer Koi went that way!

-Really? We're going
with Sewer Koi?

I mean, Birdie was bad enough.

We can do better. We should
use scientific naming protocol.

-He looks sorta like a koi
and he came from the sewer.

You can't get any more
scientific than that.

-Koi are part of the
cyprinid family species,

so it would be...

-Can we debate
this another time?

'Cause whatever he's called,
he's leading us somewhere.

Wow!

Who knew sewers could be...

- beautiful?
- What is it?

-I don't know, but
it's definitely magic.

-It looks like some kind of dam.

I'm... I'm pulling up
the sewer schematics.

-What's he trying to say?

-He is worried?

Oh! He has loose bones!

-It's... broken. Hi...
His magic dam is broken.

We're gonna help you.

That's what we do.

-It might be the whole
city that needs our help.

According to these schematics
of the sewer system,

this dam controls the flow
of water throughout the city.

And something's
definitely wrong.

Ah! Okay, okay, look, we need
to get out of here. Stat.

No, we can fix this.

Everest's magic is
nature-based, right?

And water is natural. We'll...
we'll change the current.

-No, no, no, no, no. Don't...
Don't even think about it.

You've never controlled
water before.

It's actually working!
The water's going down!

-Whoa, Yi, you're, like,
directing Everest's magic!

-Ugh. Huh?

-Run!

-Oh, good, you're still
here. We need your help.

-Flying fish.

-Yeah, that's what I
was trying to tell you.

Uh, we found the creature

and he has, like, this
magic dam in the sewer,

but it's not working and
the water is rising, so...

-Fish is flying.

-Kinda stuck on that, huh?

-Oh.

-Ugh. Uh, thank you.

I'm just going to turn around

and pretend like I don't see
a majestic flying fish dragon

that I personally would never
want to capture and study.

-Uh...

-Don't mind me, please go on.

-Oh, okay. Uh, is the
fort's tech fixed?

Can you tell if there's
any flooding in the city?

-Yes, our innovative tech
is... now fully operational.

You're welcome.

The canals in the
southern part of the city

do indeed appear
to be overflowing.

I think.

Maybe there's just
rain in the forecast.

I, too, cannot work when hungry.

It says the driver
is 15 minutes away.

-I know it said
that 15 minutes ago.

I didn't make the app.

-We can't hack the app.

-Or can we?

-Sewer Koi needs glasses?

He needs to go somewhere
to find something?

-That's what Jin looks like
when he can't find his phone.

-That's it!

His dam is broken because
it's missing something.

-We need to find whatever
that missing piece is fast

or it won't just be
the sewer that floods.

The whole city
will be underwater.

-Oh!

-Listen to this:

"The legendary koi
spent 100 years

trying to jump to the
top of a waterfall.

"When he finally reached it,

"the gods rewarded
his perseverance

by turning him into a dragon

and giving him the
pearl of wisdom."

-Oh, that's it!

The exhibit. I... I saw an
ad for it on the street.

The city museum is showing

a recently discovered
ancient pearl...

-They didn't discover it. They
took it from Sewer Koi's dam!

-Whoa, hey! It's just a picture.

Your pearl is not
inside my phone.

This is a pictorial
representa...

Yi, can you help me
out here, please?

-Don't worry. We're gonna
get your pearl right now.

Who's ready for a museum heist?

-Are you kidding? I've
always wanted to heist.

Just saying heist is exciting!

Heist. Heist.

Ha... Ha... Heist.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, slow down.

If we're gonna get the pearl
without getting caught,

we can't just rush in.

-You saw the water rising.
We can't afford to wait.

He needs his pearl.

-We should at least wait
until the museum closes.

-Everest and I will do like a
magic cloud cover or something.

We'll... We'll figure it out.

-You have no idea how
to control your magic.

-Maybe I don't,
but Everest does.

-He's still a kid!

Yi, I love that you always
wanna help creatures,

even when it's crazy dangerous
and just... a really bad idea.

But if we're gonna be
a creature-helping team

on the regular,

then we need to
look before we leap.

We can't help creatures
if we're not alive.

-Okay, I guess we can wait.

Besides, it's late already, the
museum will be closing soon.

-After-hours museum heist!

Ooh, I could be the guy who
crawls in through the vents.

I love vents.

Ooh, or I could be the guy
who lowers in on a string

and says, "I'm in."

Ooh, or I could be
the getaway driver!

If we had a car.
And I could drive.

- Peng, you're on lookout.
- Lookout?

That's the unfunnest
part of a heist.

-Are you kidding? It's
the most important part.

You are our eyes and ears.

-Call us if anyone comes.

That's odd.

The pearl is supposed
to be on display

in the center of the courtyard.

-Well, it's magic,

so Everest and I should
be able to find it.

-Okay, but nothing fancy.

-There's something magic there.

Why can't we see it?

It looks like there's some kind
of hidden chamber underground.

I think I can...
hack into the system.

No, uh, no. These... These
glasses are too powerful.

-What... Uh, wha...
What are you doing?

- Open the chamber!
- Hacking is wrong.

Hacking in order to steal
something is definitely wrong.

-Stealing something
that was stolen first

and that a magical creature needs
to save the city from flooding

is probably okay.

-Gah! You know, I don't
like breaking rules.

Oh. Okay. I'm gonna do it.

I'm... I'm a rule breaker.

-Yup, total bad boy.

-I'm in.

There it is!

-Huh?

Oh, lasers!

Lase... Security lasers! Stop
him before he sets off the alarm!

-Good job, Everest!

We need to get him his pearl.

-Since I can see the
lasers, I should go.

I probably won't lose my shot
at med school if I get caught.

-Wait, wait. No, no.

Med school is your
dream. I'll do it.

Really. Helping
creatures is my dream.

You can... Look, you can
guide me from up here.

-Wait! Stop!

There's a laser beam
right in front of you.

Go left.

M... My left, my
le... Uh, your right.

Easy... Easy...

Right and then left...

Oh... Oh, come on!
- What's wrong?

-There's a pop-up
ad on my glasses!

Why would Burnish...

Argh! I have to watch
it for 10 seconds.

Oh, oh, okay, I
got it. No... Okay.

Now you have to step over a laser
that's right in front of you.

Oh, no!

-What next?

-Now you have to, like,
like, bend backwards

and then turn directly left.

-Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Hmm?

Who's there?

Museum's closed.

Jump forward.

Careful!

Not to rush you, but the
entire west side is underwater.

If we don't hurry, we might
have to swim out of here.

Again, no rush!

-Ah!

-There's a laser right there!

Ah!

-Huh?

Ooh, okay.

What now?

Wha... What are you... What
are you trying to say, Everest?

-Good idea to turn all the lights
on the driver's route green.

Cuts delivery time down by 30%.

Don't worry, the driver
is two minutes away.

A real two minutes this time,
thanks to our improvements.

-Chicken with special
sauce shall be ours...

Mr. Burnish, is this
working? What special sauce?

-Uh, it's... it's... it's code.
Tech... for a very high-tech

magic interface. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Oh, good, because
we need your help.

We have to make a quick
escape from the museum.

That or we might need bail.

And hurry, there's
a guard coming.

-Mr. Burnish? Mr. Burnish,
can you hear...

Hello? Are you still there?

Argh! We're on our own.
Just do your thing.

- What thing?
- Y... You know, your no...

Your no-plan,
leap-before-you-look thing!

-Yes!

- Oh, we have to go! There's a...
- We know. Catch!

-Rocket sneaks, it's our time.

Whoo-hoo! What?

Everest, fog!

-Who said that?

Is that... music? What the...

-Wind?

Oh! Good idea, Everest.

-Hey! Where are you?

-Shhh.

Aah!

I know you're in here!

Show yourselves!

-I can't handle
the criminal life.

I'm gonna turn myself in.

-Oh!

-You're kidding me!

-Chicken.

Did someone order chicken?

-Oh, come on!
Another prank order!

-The app says to
deliver to this address.

I just do what it says.

- Is there special sauce?
- Of course.

Whoo-hooo!

Lookout is the funnest
part of a heist!

Whoo-hooo! Yeah,
this is awesome!

Uh... Uh, I don't wanna
question your process,

but there's no way
we fit through that!

Huh?

I did not think that
was gonna work out!

But we better hurry, the city's
flooding and I forgot my floatie.

Here goes nothing!

It worked!

-It's us who should
be thanking you.

To think, this whole time you've
been guarding the city's water.

-It's a good thing you don't
always look before you leap.

You are the reason we
found... Sewer Koi.

I still wanna workshop that.

But I'm glad you're our leader.

-Well, without your plans, we would
never have been able to help him.

I guess we make a
pretty good team.

-You fuzzy genius!

We have to hurry!

-Aw, can't we stay
a little longer?

I'm starting to like the sewer.

-No, I'm making the plans now.

This is when Nai Nai throws
out the day's leftovers.

We have to get to
them before the rats!

MR. BURNISH: Oh, Duchess,

is this awful pit in my stomach
what it feels like to be a hero?

We saved the day,
but lost the sauce.

-In honor of our
first official mission

as creature helper-ers,

I present Nai Nai's
finest leftovers!

-Left over? Uh, from what?

And is there some sort of sauce?

-Maybe a special one?

Oh!

-Something weird happened today.

-Besides being one of
the select few humans

to ever be in the presence
of a mythical fish dragon?

-That's just it!

People were on the
street when Sewer Koi

jumped out of the sewer.

This one guy was on his phone,

but still, it was like
they... they didn't see!

Or... Or couldn't.

How could they not see?

-Most people can't see magic

even if it's right
in front of them.

They've lost the
ability to recognize

anything that's out
of the ordinary.

But some of us, like you and
your friends, you still believe.

Open heart, open eyes.

-Pop-up ads? Really? You
sold ad space on my tech?

-What? I don't profit
off creatures anymore.

I have to make a living.

-Open heart, open eyes.
