07x07 - The Tale of the Reanimator

[bunniefuu]

[waves]

[swings creaking]

[shutter banging]

[child laughing]

[footsteps]

[flame sizzling]

What're we looking at?

That.

Is that a hornet's nest?
Yeah.

I've never see one up close.

What are you nuts???

Ah, don't be a weenie, it's
been up there for months.

It's empty.

What're you doin'?

I'm trying to knock
down that hornet's nest.

Oh yeah?

That's a big...

WHAT???

Just... stop, alright?

Stop what?

Hey, isn't that a...?

I...I warned you man!

Chickens!

Nothing's gonna happen!

You better not have
that thing with you!

What if I did?
-I'd make you SIT on it!

You're just scared...
Quinn! You got a story?

Yeah, I got a story.

It's about messin' with things
that shouldn't be messed with.

Like a hornet's nest?

Worse.

Like...
life and death.

Sometimes things are the
way they are for a reason.

And if you try to change
that, you're gonna get b*rned.

If there's one thing the
people in my story learned,

it's that if you go
lookin' for trouble,

chances are...
you're gonna find it.

Submitted for the approval
of The Midnight Society,

I call this story...

Mr. Doyle!
Just in time!

What do you think?

Mr. Doyle?
-What?

Oh, Julie, I'm sorry.

My mind is somewhere else.

Any problems?

Yeah, actually.

Well, good, good, good.

I'm gonna be in my workshop.

Don't disturb me, alright?

Well, what happened to
these plants they're...

dead.

Are you sure she's
even working today?

My sister works here every day.

Julie!?

You here?!?

Ah...
Yuck.

Julie?

[alarm buzzes]

Peter!

You'll never
believe what I just saw!

Oh.
Hi Jake.

Hey.

What did you see?

Oh, right!

Downstairs, in Mr. Doyle's
workshop.

He took blue stuff

and dripped it on his
plant and it started

coming back to life and
moving around like a

spider monster or something!
It was unbelievable!

Oh! Huh... okay I get it.
You do?

Yeah!
April Fools, right?

No!
No I ...

That's the weakest April
Fools Joke I've ever heard.

It's so lame I thought
there's no way

that could be an
April Fool's joke.

That's how bad it was.
-It's no joke...

Nice try, Jules.

Yeah, anyway, Mom and Dad are
going out. Pizza, alright?

Yeah, sure.

Extra cheese, half
pepperoni, half...

spider monster plants.

See you later.

Peter!

PETER!

[tapping]

We're closed!

[tapping, banging]

Mr. Doyle, there's
somebody at the door.

Mr. Doyle?

AHHHHHH!

AHHHHHH!

Don't hurt me!
Please don't...

Ah!
Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

AHHHHHH!

April Fools!

Hahhahha!

I'm sorry Jules,
he made me do it.

You creeps!

Hey, just getting you back.
For what?

For trying to fool us with
that monster plant story.

You're gonna do April Fools?
Do it right.

It's not a joke!
I'll show you.

Would you just give it up,
you're way out of your league.

C'mon Jake.

Look just, huh,
let it go alright?

We were joking around.
But I can prove it!

And you ruined my Bonsai tree!!!

Mr. Doyle?

Mrs. Doyle.

[door slams upstairs]

And why didn't you tell
me you were interested

in my experiments?

Well, you've been
kinda - I mean,

things have been kinda...
weird.

And the motion-detector...

C'mon.

If you're that
interested, I'll show you.

I know the rigged
door is a little much,

but you see I don't
want my competitors

knowing what I'm up to.

I'm really embarrassed.

Don't be.

All you had to do was ask.

Okay...
what are you doing down here?

An experiment.

You could call it kind
of a super fertilizer.

Just watch.

You see when the chemical
touches the dead cells,

it stimulates the
nuclei to create DNA.

It's...
coming back to life!

Yes it's reanimating.

Un-real!

Now look at that.

It's like it knows
what's helping it regenerate.

What's the gooey stuff?

Hum? Oh!
That's a harmless by-product.

If...If you can
reanimate plants,

can you reanimate
other things?

It's late.

Time to go.

I'll see you after
school tomorrow?

Right... after school
tomorrow. G'night!

Peter please be home.

Peter!
It's me.

You gotta come back to the shop.

I know, but it's that
stuff I told you about,

it works, it's real!

It brings stuff
back from the dead!

And I think...

I think Mr. Doyle's gonna
try and use it on his wife.

Cuz she d*ed last year.

I'm only goin' along with this
cuz I cut up your little tree.

I'm telling you,
he's got this like...

shrine to his wife.

She d*ed?
About a year ago.

And that stuff I told you
about, it regenerates DNA.

I'm telling you,
he's gonna do it!

He's gonna bring his
wife back from the dead!

Huh, okay.

So, where's the punch line?

See!?

How'd you get him
to play along...?

Shhh!

So much for your
April Fools gag.

It's not a gag!

This stuff really works!

It brings stuff
back from the dead!

Okay, let's wake
somebody up then!

Nooo!
Peter stop it!

"In loving memory."?
Nah!

"Rest in peace."
Nah!

Peter stop!
I'm serious!

C'mon Pete, this isn't cool.

"May he be forgiven"?

Sounds like a bad dude.

Don't!
Rise and shine!

Stop it. Enough with this
April Fools stuff, alright?

It's getting too weird.

Well, she started it!

Nothing's gonna happen.

It only works on plants.

There's no proof that...

[tapping]

Peter?

Peter??

What?

Is... is...
is Jake outside?

What's a matter?

There's, there's
something outside the window.

[tapping]

This is getting old.

Call us when the
Pizza gets here.

Jake, I'm not
April foolin' around.

Sure Jules.

Hey?
Pizza guy?

Okay, April Foo...

AHHHHH!

Peter!!! Jake!!!

Ah, about time it got
here, I'm starving.

No!
Don't open it!

Where is he?

No, don't go out there!

Hello!

Pizza dude?

It's not the pizza guy.

It's the guy from the grave
that you poured that stuff on.

Would you a gimme a break!

I don't think
she's kidding.

I'M NOT! WOULD YOU
GUYS LISTEN TO ME!

THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!

Don't YOU start too!
I'm not falling for it.

Peter...she's not kidding.

What now?
I'll just turn around and see...

AHHHHHH!

Oh man.
Oh man oh man!

You didn't tell me this
stuff actually worked!

Yeah, yeah, she did.
Yeah, but...

yeah but this is an
April Fools joke!

You keep telling yourself that,
and in the meantime there's a

zombie on the loose.

"May he be forgiven".

And he's a bad Zombie too.

So what are we
gonna do we do?

Mr. Doyle!
He'll know...

What IS that?

It's the gooh that...

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

It wants the liquid!

It's what's keeping him alive!

So give it to him!
No!

Okay, okay!
Slow down, slow down!

It's not coming.
She's right you know.

We can't just give it the
stuff, we gotta stop it.

So let's find your boss then.

Water.

Yeah, so?

That's how Mr. Doyle
k*lled the plant.

He poured water on it!

Cold water, from the freezer.

Alright, so all we gotta
do is get the Zombie

to step in this puddle.
Right?

I think we need a little
bit more water than that.

Is there a hose at Mr. Doyle's?

Yeah!

And it's freezing cold out here.

Okay c'mon!

Okay, where's the faucet?

On the side.

Alright, I got it.

What if dead-boy doesn't come?

He'll come, alright.

Come... and... get it.

A little water please!?!

I'm trying!

Maybe it doesn't
know where we are.

It knows.

This is what you want, isn't it?

OKAY YOU'RE ON!

NO WE'RE NOT!

HUH, HANG ON!

COME ON MAN!

OKAY YOU GOT IT!

Pff...
What took you so long???

Easy man!
We got him, didn't we?

Aaahhh!

Ahhh!

Why didn't it work?
I don't know!

All he did was take some
cold water from the freezer.

He went inside...

Took out some ice cold water...

Uh, Julie?

You ever look in here?

Hot!
It's a hotbox!

It wasn't cold water, it was hot
water that k*lled the chemicals!

Great. So all we have do is wait
around till next summer...

[bang]

Someone needs to
hide inside the hotbox.

I'll do that!

As soon as the Zombie comes
in here, lure him inside.

Jake and I'll hide and
close the door behind you.

WHAT???
WITH ME INSIDE???

The heat should stop him.

Should???

No!
Watch out for the laser beam!

Peter!
Lead it into the hotbox!

Pete!
The Hotbox!!!!

Ahhhhh!

What's going on?!

I think I'm gonna puke.

Oh no!

What have I done?

I'm sorry Mr.
Doyle, this is my fault.

No.
This is MY fault.

It's wrong to meddle with fate.

This experiment is over.

I gotta tell you,
when I saw that costume,

I thought I was history.

Yeah.
That was pretty cool Jules.

And you know what that means?

What?
I got you last.

April Fools!

The end.

Good one.
-Was good.

I declare this meeting of The
Midnight Society, closed.

I'm gonna get that nest.

Wait.
What's that?

[buzzing]

It's the fire.

No.
It sounds like...

like bees.
The nest!

Mad bees!

RUN!

Wait!

That's where the nest is!

I'm sorry I'm sorry
I'm sorry!
