02x14 - Irrational Treasure

[bunniefuu]

[melancholic music]

[Pyewacket purrs]

Oh, you're so lucky,
Pyewacket.

Nothing to worry about.

Nobody tearing
your whole life apart.

And probably nothing missing
in your life, is there?

Oh, no, there isn't, sweet boy.

Me, on the other hand,
I'm a mess.

I'm gonna have to talk
to my dad again at some point,

if I want to. Do I want to?

It's kind of evil.

How do I deal with my
friends who once trusted me

but now they know my
family is bad news?

[snoring]

See?
Not a care in the world.

[Pyewacket purrs]

[door opens, closes]

Hey, wanna walk to the
observatory together?

[scoffs] Aren't there at least
three other people

you'd rather walk with?

Look, I'm trying
more new things.

And this is a new thing.

Come on, don't wanna be late.

Nah, all right.

[dramatic music]

How?
How could you let those
wretches steal my spiral key?

The one thing that could lead
us to the eye of confusion.

[Madteo grunts, chuckles
nervously]

As your champion,

it is only right that
the blame should land on...

the Bad Astrids.

And you may recall, I think
you already destroyed them.

Of course, I recall.

Who do you think I am?

I have every memory.

Mine and all the others.

Even the ones I'd rather forget.

Then it has to
be Dizzie's fault!

What?
We'll... We'll make it up to you.

Send us after the orb.

[growls] I told you the key
leads to the orb.

-[Madteo gasps]
-I don't know where it is.

So why didn't you
go after it sooner?

Maybe those kids know.

Maybe the Dream Chasers
know where to look.

Yes. Yes.

Lunia was the one
to take my orb.

So the Night Bureau
may know something I don't.

Use my ravens to follow
those rotten children

and bring me back my key.

And perhaps I'll make a few
more of you, just to be sure.

[buoyant music]

[ribbits]

[honks horn]

Hey, man.
I was hoping you'd ride with us.

I wanted to show you
my new potent biofuel

I cooked up using dream trash.

Whoa. Huh!
So why exactly are we here?

We found out Lunia hid
the Eye of Confusion

somewhere around here,

and Oz wasn't much help.

He told me about the lost
hammer of Amaru six times,

word for word.

But we did have some luck in
the Old Night Bureau records.

This key should lead
us to it somehow.

And the Never Witch needs
it for her big spell.

So we need to get it first.

Ooh, does it point the
way like a divining rod?

[Mateo]
Nope, it just spins like this.

Maybe when we get close?

We better split up
and look for clues.

Anything unusual.

Unusual in this place?

Hmm, sure.
We're going this way.

I guess we're going that way.

Wait, I wanna talk to
you about Dad's birthday.

I have so many
ideas for presents.

Hmm.
Hmm.

[grunts]

Okay.

[vehicle warbles]

[raven croaking]

-You found them?
-[raven croaking]

The Never Witch will be
pleased with my brilliance.

Take us to them.

[Dizzie chuckles]

I never liked that raven.

You heard the incompetent raven.

They're here somewhere.

Fan out and find
those Dream Chasers.

[Mateo] Oh, hey.

I know you're not
from around here.

Sorry about your realm.

If you're looking
for the soccer field,

it should be right there.

I can't do this in
regular Brooklyn. Whoa!

Logan, it's hard enough
to focus as it is.

What?
You're great at focus.

Ah, it's tougher when I'm
trying to sleep at odd hours.

You know it's noon in
Germany right now, yeah?

I sleep until noon sometimes.

-But not all the time.
-I wish.

Uh, maybe I can go
exploring with you

on German time, you know?

I got a couple classes
I could doze through.

That would be great, really.

Because honestly,
it's pretty tough

staying asleep right now.

Just wake up.
We'll hang tomorrow.

[Dogan 1] Oh, good.

I thought she'd never leave.

Four to one.

I like these odds.

Hey, who are you calling odd?

[scoffs]
More like four against half.

Odds aren't looking so hot.

[clatter]

Whoever you are, show yourself.

[Logan screaming]

Oh, man.

[Logan] Get away,
get away, get away.

[wet footsteps]

We're not here to play, Z.

We gotta find where
this key goes.

-And plan Dad's birthday.
-[groans] We know
what we're doing.

The zoo and pizza at Big Vito's.

Same as every year
since Mom left.

Yeah. Well, I was talking
to Jasmine about it

and she's planning
something super romantic.

When were you talking to...

Wait, never mind.

It doesn't matter.
We're not doing any of that.

Jasmine's nice enough
but she's not our mom.

Of course, she's not.
But I like Jasmine.

-She always makes me...
-Run.

-[heavy footsteps thumping]
-[grunts]

Uh... Mateo?

What the... [gasps]

It's a spiral, like on the key.

How did they get so big?

[monsters grunts]

[Mateo screams]

Uh, hello.

Hey, hop on.

[Dream Chasers hopping
on the vehicle]

We got to fool these turkeys.

We will. But first,
we have to make a stop.

[button beeps]

[monsters coughing]

Nice biofuel, bro.

[monster coughing]

[growls]

So, why are we here?

It's the center of the spiral.

-The what now?
-[Mateo] I saw it from the sky.

Yeah, we know it spins,
but it never points anywhere.

It does. This whole
Dream Realm is like a spiral.

Whatever the key leads
towards must be at the center,

-and this park is it.
-That's brilliant.

So, we just need to find
what the key unlocks.

Hurry.

No, Z. No more playing.
We got work to...

Oh. Hey, everybody.

Come here. I found it.

Well, Z found it.

Well, maybe this is the
wrong mysterious keyhole

at the center of the park.

Come on, think like a dream.
What are we missing?

[suspenseful music]

Creepy and probably extremely
dangerous passage it is.

-[Izzie howls]
-Iz!

-Don't ever think it.
-Everyone ready?

[all grunting]

Whoo!

[buzzing]

Well, they're not here anymore.
That's another one, Diz.

Way to go.

[monster sniffing]

-Can you still get a scent?
-[grunts]

[heavy footsteps thumping]

-[door opens]
-[grunt]

The school library?

Maybe we're looking
for a book on spirals.

Check on the computer.

Whoa, old school.

I've seen these card
catalogs somewhere.

Info flash! They are called
Duty Decimal System.

If that's not a clue,

I don't know what is.

[Mateo flipping pages]

[Dizzie] Good boy.

You found those
nasty Dream Chasers.

They're here.

[grunts] That should hold them
for a minute. [grunting]

Need a hand here.

Bro, speed it up!

Nothing here.
I need more time.

Just...

Take them all to
the Waking World.

-Look through them there.
-But how?

Feed them to Z-blob?
He can bring them over.

-Will that work?
-I don't know.

Just do it.

[muttering]

-[Izzie] Did you get them?
-Well, we got one.

-Let me see.
-And it's blank in
the Waking World.

It's not blank.

There's little dots on here.

Yeah, it looks like
something was there once.

But it's all washed out now.

Huh, weird.

-What?
-Well, when I spin it around,

the dots kind of do
a weird dance thing.

Let me see.

"True beauty is always behind
and not in front of me."

[Izzie] Cool.

"While I have a twin,
I cannot see."

But what does it mean?

Ugh, it's too early for riddles.

Three pickles in a
tortilla cobra-style, please,

with extra pickles.

The Izzie special
coming right up.

-Hey, any luck with the cards?
-Only one came through,

but it was definitely
the right one.

When you spin, it reads:

"True beauty is behind
and not in front of me.

While I have a twin,
I cannot see."

Hmm, I don't know.

We can ask my brother.
He's good at riddles.

You guys wanna meet at
my place after school?

Not me. I'm spending the day
with our dad's girlfriend,
Jasmine.

-Why?
-Birthday planning stuff.

Dad's birthday won't even happen

if we don't find that Eye
before the Witch does.

I'm not going anywhere until
we find out what has a twin

and also cannot see.

Of course, the rhyme.

It is of course eyes.

The beauty you see is
not what you look at,

it's what you
create in your mind.

Eh, behind.
And you can never
quite see the other.

Okay, well, then
what does that mean?

And how do we solve it fast?

We were in the
Dream World library.

Maybe we can find an answer
in the Waking World library?

I guess it's worth a shot.

[Logan snoring]

[door opens]

You sure you don't want a scarf?

I've also got this one.

No, thanks.

-Or this one.
-Wake up.

We've got to do
something about this.

Dallas was domed a few nights
back and now look at him.

-It's as bad as Mr. Oz.
-Oh, come on, Coop.

I was having the best time
of the Rock n Roll Realm
with Astrid.

Hey, do you know
who Hasselhoff is?

Eh, I gotta get back to sl...
[snores]

-Hey, Teo. Can I...
-Not now.

I've gotta review
every book on eyes.

Any luck?

I'm kind of blanking
out on ideas.

Hey, what you said
about trying new things,

that worked for you, right?

Yeah, it's been great.

But while I was
trying new stuff,

I think everyone else moved on.

I feel kind of alone.

Alone isn't so bad.

Nobody around to hurt
you, or for you to hurt.

But it hurts when the world just
keeps moving on without you.

That's it.

You seem very happy
about my pain.

No, the world did move on.

Stuff changes.

In the dream, we saw
the computer stations

become the card catalog.

I bet the actual card catalog

used to be [grunts] here.

[Mateo] Good security.

Only a Dream Chaser could
find a Waking World clue.

It's all blocky,

but it looks like a hurricane.

The eye of the storm.

Bad weather?
Need a scarf?

No, but I know exactly
what we do need.

And tonight, we'll go get it.

[Mateo gasps]
What happened to this place?

Where have you been?

Sorry, it took
forever to fall asleep

since I slept all day.

Whoa, they're still here.

[snores]

We gotta get all the cards?

I think so. Grab them.

And quietly.

[suspenseful music]

[gasps]

I think we're being followed.

-Is that all of them?
-One left.

[grunts, exclaims]

Who's... It's them!

Run!

-This way.
-[Mateo grunting]

That's not where that door goes.

Don't drop any cards.

Back in the locker.

Go!
Go!

There they are.

[grunts]

[groans]

[all clamoring]

We've had some crazy
nights in the Dream World,

but this has by far
been the craziest.

Whoo, geez.

When Lunia hid this orb,

she did it up right.

Okay, everyone,
hand me your cards.

Let's see about this.

What are you doing?

Think like a dream, right?

Oh, eye of the storm.

[Dream Chasers screaming]

I did not see that coming.

[doors bursts open]

The Never Witch gave
us a simple job,

find her missing key,

and you have all failed her.

Us?
Never a nice word,

but when something goes wrong,

oh, it's all "Destroy them.

Turn them into goo!"

It's them,
follow those Dream Chasers.

[Dream Chasers screaming]

All this just to
land in Mrs. C's.

[shrieks]

-One Izzie special, please.
-Not now, Iz.

Mrs. C, have you
ever seen this key

or a glass ball
with a spiral on it?

It's apparently
somewhere around here.

Hmm... not that I can recall,

but you are welcome to look
around my lost and found.

I've collected all sorts of
treasures over the years.

I'll stand guard.
There's something besides
those doppels out here.

Sounds mechanical.

Something big.

Okay.
You and Coop, out here.

Izzie and Logan, with me.

Oh, you're stuck with me again.

If I'm not giving you
new best friend vibes,

maybe it's because I've
got my own stuff going on.

-[Logan] What the hell, Mat?
-[Mateo] Put that down.

Oh, trust me, I've noticed
the return of loner Zoey.

I just don't want
anyone to get hurt.

You saw who my dad is.

Now there's something
stalking me.

-I'm a trouble magnet.
-Okay, maybe.

But now you have us.

Stuff changes.
You've changed.

So have you, you know?

And you don't need
a new best friend.

You just need to figure out

a new way of staying
best friends with Logan.

[Logan] Ow, my helmet.

Can I tell you a little secret?

Everyone is searching
for something.

That is why I keep
all that is lost.

Sometimes you find just the
right thing at the right time.

[Izzie squeals]
I think this is it.

What?

Ah, there's no keyhole.

Hey, maybe it's a key card.

Think like a dream.

[lid creaking]

Man, this stuff is so weird.

Yeah, we got it.

So now we give it to
the Never Witch, right?

What?
Put it back in the box.

-It's confusing you.
-Why would I listen to you

and not the guy
with the cool hat?

He's obviously the leader.

I see nothing
confusing about that.

[Madteo] We'll be taking that.

There's no escape.
Destroy them.

[distant meow]

-[cat purrs]
-Huh?

[upbeat music]

[motorcycle revving]

[Dogans grunt]

Pyewacket?
This is what you dream about?

[motorcycle revving]

[grunts] Take it.
We won't let them follow you.

Okay, Pyewacket.

Let's chill for a minute.

It's such a nice night.

Hey, cool ball.

Follow her.

[motorcycle revving]

[Zoey screams]

[grunts] Gonna get the car.

-[motorcycle tires screech]
-[yelling]

[gasps]

Ahh!

Zoey, toss me the eye.

Holding it is
making you confused.

Ah!

Whoa, why are we flying so low?

Better pull up.
[yells]

[grunts] Huh?

Whoa, monster.

Out of my way.

There's a monster.

Pickles.

Come get your pickles here.

I am hungry.

Why was I going for food?

Obviously, you're
at a food truck.

What else would you be doing?

Ah, you even brought payment.

Thank you very much, Diz.

Aw, you called me Diz.

I love it.
Wait, are we besties?

Wait, why are you crying?

If you're crying,

shouldn't I be crying?

[motorcycle revving]

Wait a second.

If you understand me,

does that mean you understand
everything I ever told you?

Not one word about the
bathing suit incident.

I'll trade you this
ball for those pickles.

Hey!

Over here, teammate.

We got it, teammate.

What's the thing for
the rainbow doohickey?

[laughs]
Pretty colors.

-You okay?
-What do you care?

Aren't you confusing
me with Astrid?

Wait, what are
you talking about?

I can't hang with Astrid?

Look, man, when you started
to hang out with me,

you stayed friends
with that guy.

[both scream]

Bro, we always got
each other's backs,

one way or another.

We've gotta help out.

[crocodile car roaring]

[both] C-C-C-Classic!

Awesome!

This is hot.
Or is it cold?

Room temperature?

Wait, every room is
room temperature.

I have an idea.

-Feel okay?
-Oh, I feel great.

We just have to get outta here.
Watch out.

[honking]

[vehicles collide]

Ah, got it.

Let's get outta here.

They took it?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey, come back.
You forgot this.

They didn't take the eye?

Then what did they take?

-Did we do it?
-Yeah, we did.

What?

Your spiral key as promised.

Perfect. Now we can use it to
locate the Eye of Confusion.

Oh, the Dream Chasers
will never find it now.

-Ah!
-[raven squawking]

[Night Witch] What?

[closing theme music plays]
