02x62 - House of Magic

[bunniefuu]

Is it possible it's a coincidence? A coincidence that spells "help me"? No.

Trudy is in trouble.

I know it.

If she really is in trouble, then we have to tell Mr.

Sweet.

No way.

Involving the teachers has never helped before.

I am not about to start now.

You'll probably wondering who this is.

Meet Piper.

Hey.

Oh Now it makes sense.

Tell me about it.

That's all we need.

Two of them.

You coming? Yeah, in a minute.


- So little miss stand
-in, Can I speak to you for a moment? You know, when we smackerooed, I didn't know.

Neither did I.


- So should we tell her?
- No.

Have you met Patricia? Okay, I know.

I feel bad.

You couldn't feel worse than me.

Right, Piper.

Ready for you now.

Come in.

There are twice as many symbols on Victor's charts.

As there are on the chamber wall.

And still nothing from the Dollhouse.

We're this close to the master chamber, And Victor's going to b*at us to the punch.

Now, look, we have as many clues as he has, And you're not seriously suggesting.

He's smarter than we are.

Luckier than us, though.

You've got to admit.

But still, none of that means anything.

Oh, Victor.

Thanks for coming.

I have some news.

Gustav ziestack will be visiting the exhibition.


- Checking up?
- Right.

While the theft of the ox bell was most regrettable, We have to restore confidence.

I thought it might be a good idea to throw a special dinner, Sort of in his honor, you know? It's a good idea.

I'll speak to Vera about the food.

Wonderful.

Oh, and perhaps some entertainment as well.

Leave it with me.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

You're still mad at me? I'm not mad at you.

It's just You know what? Yeah, I am still mad at you.

Why sugarcoat it? But I'm happy you still talk with your mouth full.

And don't like tchaikovsky.

Quiet! I have an announcement.

Patricia.

Patricia's sister, Piper, Will be joining us for a short time.

I've spoken to your parents, and they both agree with me.

That until their return from overseas, It's best that she stays here with you.

Now, I think Piper will be a real asset.

To the school during her stay, So I'd like you all to give her a very warm welcome.

Why do you even want to come here? We have the worst music group ever.

Our guitars are all string
-less; We use them as drums.

Eric phoned mom and dad.

That was the only way to calm them down.

Oh, Eric now, is he? I know you, wrapping everyone around your finger.

This is my school.

You have no intention of going back to the academy, do you? Tell me why! Patricia, would you be kind enough to join us, please? Piper, you are excused.

Gustav ziestack is visiting tomorrow, And we're throwing a dinner here in his honor, And I need volunteers for service.

And And entertainment.

Uh, I Play a little guitar.

Good.

Good.

Anyone else? I can do magic.

Yeah, Amber, what's that behind your ear? Oh Huh? Ah? Oh! Bravo.

Victor, perhaps Alfie should top the bill.

Yeah You do magic? You're starting to regret.

Breaking up with me now, aren't you? Please.

And fyi, you're welcome to Patricia number two.

Alfie, you haven't done it in years.

Remember that rabbit he tried to "disappear" Before it bred out of control in Victor's rose garden? I did get bilbo back, But I could never really be sure it was her.

Guys, a table magician uses objects.

From the audience, right? Right?
- Sure.


- Yeah.

I can just do the old.

Disappearing amulet trick on Victor.

Fabian, give me your watch.


- Oh, well
- Mm.

Why, thank you.

Hmm? Now watch.

See? Now I've swapped it with the fake one.

Now, the next bit is theater.

Alfie? Alfie? Alfie, no.

No, no, no, no.

Alfie! Smash! Relax.

Relax.

It's just magic.

Observe.

Ah.

Oh, hang on.

Um My calculator watch.

I know I can do it.

It's just a straight swap.

Okay, Alfie, we're desperate here, So we'll let you do the disappearing act to the amulet, But no smashing.

And practice.

What on earth? Did you take this from Do me a favor.

Read the first letter of each line.

"h, e" "help me"? Oh, no.

What is it?
- No.


- Trudy's in trouble, isn't she? Jasper, what? I think she's been kidnapped.

Boy, it is extra dark in here.

Um, the suns Rays ought to be reflecting right now, So that's moonlight.

Why does the zodiac in Victor's notebook.

Have twice as many symbols? Hmm? Well, look.

This is the symbol for mirror, And since one of the reflectors is a mirror, I just assumed that all the reflectors would be mirrors.

Or made of glass or something like that.

Hmm.

So you need another clue to narrow it down.

Well, I mean, look.

One clue for mirror.

Mirror.

Right opposite the clue for music.

So it's the mirror in the music box.

So it's two symbols partnered.

Well, one down, five to go, guys.

Then I suggest you hurry, child.

Men have crossed the great white desert at greater speed.

Watch the timepiece.

Look, just leave her alone! Tell me who's taken her, Jasper.

Or the next person that asks you that question.

Will be wearing a uniform, holding a police badge.

It's the collector.

The one who's got the gem.

But why? Why Trudy?
- I
-I don't know.

But I do know that the collector is very dangerous.

If you go to the police, then Trudy What can I do? We do as we're told.

The collector has an appetite.

For anything that belonged to the frobisher
-smythes.

So I need you to To steal for you.

Welcome to my world, Jerome.

There's no way back.

Facing each other.

One is useless without the other.

Nina, come on.

Let's get back out, yeah? Nina, you're glowing.

Thanks.

No, your locket.

Oh.

Oh.

But what for? Look, it's getting dimmer.

Now it's getting brighter.

There.

That cr*ck.

It's a door.

But I thought Look.

There's a special lock.

My locket doesn't open this.

An amulet does.

Maybe it's mine.

Maybe I'm the chosen two.

Why don't you find a door that recognizes my talent? Wait.

It's the ibis.

Who has the ibis? No.

None of us do.

The amulet that opens this door is Victor's.

Another door.

We need that amulet now more than ever.

Okay, let's go over the plan.

Okay, I take the fake amulet and place it up my sleeve.

Then I take the real amulet from Victor.

And wrap it in a handkerchief.

Then I take off my shoe And smash it! Don't worry, that bit's an illusion.

While Victor's panicking, I do a switch.

And give him the fake amulet in one piece.

While Victor thinks he's got the real amulet, he hasn't, Because the amazing alfredo has kept the real McCoy.


- Huh?
- No.

No, just do a Just do a standard switch.

Please, Alfie.

Look, why don't you just take the real one, Make it disappear, swap it, and hand over the fake? Victor's happy, Gustav's happy, And we have our amulet back.

Yeah, if you want to be boring.

Oh, sorry.

What time is it? Your attention, please.

Fruits rots, So please don't store it in your lockers.

Rotten fruit should be disposed of carefully.

And not thrown at other students or teachers.

So how'd it go with Jasper? Did you confront him about the letter? Yep, yep.

He has spoken to Trudy.

She says she got someone else to write the letter.

Or something.

It's no big deal.

Why would she let someone else.

Write a personal letter like that? Who knows.

Maybe she sprained her wrist whilst baking.

No, something is definitely going on.

We're gonna have to go and speak to Mr.

Sweet.

You can't turn off your inner reporter.

For five minutes, can you, Mara?
- What?
- Just give it up.

There isn't a story here, believe me.

Trudy is with her brother until he recovers, And everything is okay.

Okay? Right.

Okay.

Oh Everything okay? Do you ever feel like people don't recognize your talent? Better than people expecting too much of you.

Pick a card.

Ten of hearts.

See, you expected too much from me.

Is this the idea now? Move into my school? Move in on my friends? What's next my boyfriend?
- What?
- Don't act surprised.

We're twins, remember? I know what you're thinking.

I can never take anything from you.

Oh, you're Piper.

Everything comes to you.

Well, I don't have any of those things.

You're the one that always has the friends, not me.

What? You can't be jealous of me.

I'm jealous of you.

You can't be jealous of me.

I'm jealous of you.

Really? You're the talented one.

You're the fun one.

When I was stuck in practice, You were allowed to do whatever you wanted.

Is that why you left the academy? There was so much expectation.

It was relentless.

I can't bear the pressure.

All I can think about is failing.

Sometimes I just feel like I'm going to wither up.


- Who cares?
- What? Who cares if you fail? Most people don't even try.

They're too scared.

If you want to be like me, Dare to fail.

You can stay as long as you like.

Really? Don't act surprised.

We're twins, remember? What's that? Make sure they are straight.

We want to give Mr.

Ziestack.

The very best impression tonight.

I thought we were doing cutlery, Not structural engineering.

Imagine what old gusty would say if he saw a misplaced fork.

Anarchy.

Are we sure about this? No.

But when has that stopped us? There's just so much that could go wrong.

Do you really think Alfie can pull this off? Uh Jerome, what are you doing? Nothing.

No, nothing at all.

Nothing.

Come in.

Hey, there you are.

Um, I need a glamorous assistant, And I thought you might want to What are you doing? I'm leaving.

First thing.

What? Why? I'm daring to fail.

What does that even mean? It means I'm going back to the academy.

It's been amazing being here.

With you all it's It's given me perspective.

That's all I needed.

I feel excited about music again.

No, please, don't go.

Please stay.

Uh Um, uh Not cool.

I know.

That's how I like you.

So why are you going? I prefer to think of it as coming back later.

Alfie, you're on in 10.

Sorry, am I interrupting something? Um, unfortunately not.

Go.

Hey, Alfie.

I recognize your talent.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

I had no idea you were such a talented bunch.

Mr.

Sweet, your students are a credit to this school.

Excellent.

Oh, we're not having your chocolate nightmare cake? Oh, I couldn't get one Of the ingredients.

I'm sorry.

Patricia was so keen to help me cook for you, I couldn't deny her.

No, indeed.

And this looks simply lovely.

Everything's been first
-class: The dinner, the company, the entertainment.

Uh, but there's more.

There is? Yes, I'm afraid there is.

Behold, the amazing The amazing alfredo! Frobisher heirloom.

Frobisher heirloom.

Nothing.

Sarah.

Sarah Frobisher
-Smythe.

Whoa! Here's my bargaining chip.

So
- No
- Play along, Victor.

Sir, may I borrow your watch? Ah, now, unfortunately, I have left my fob watch in my No problem.

I'll just use this neat little necklace here.

Oh, relax, Victor.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care of it.

Hmm.

Why, I do believe there's a small scratch on your necklace.

Allow me to fix it for you.

I'll just wrap it up nice and nicely for you, yeah? Make that secure.

Perfecto.

Huh? I'll leave this with you.

I'll leave this here by me.

Intriguing.

Right, this is my magic handkerchief, Woven from the finest silk of Turkey.

I'm going to make a small bag.

Alas, the bag of illusion, The sack of mysticism.

Perfect.

He's been practicing.

I'll take your necklace.

That shall enter the bag.

Ooh.

Ah.

Oh, yes, he is.

Now, personally I like to use a magic shoe.

Don't worry.

I'm just going to give it a little tap.

Well, okay.

That was fun.

Now prepare to be amazed.

You'll love this.

And voila.

Oh, my.

I know what you're thinking.

Um, the amazing alfredo has gone a bit wrong, but It's up his sleeve, surely.

Yes, Mr.

Amazing alfredo.

Perhaps you would like to remove your jacket.

No, I, um A magician never reveals his secrets.

Give me your jacket.

But I promise you, there's nothing up my sleeve.

cr*ck!
