[whispering] Side Quests.
Yo, have you been hearing
all these rumors going around?
Something about
a secret kingdom mission.
What is up with that?
[Finn] I don't know anything
about the mission,
but that's gotta be why
Princess Bubblegum said
to come by.
A whole unknown kingdom?
I can only imagine.
It would have to be
something so crazy
that public knowledge of it
would throw our whole society
out of whack.
Like if it was
-a sandwich kingdom.
- [sandwiches cheering]
[Jake] And it's just like
a whole land of beings
preparing themselves
for the sole purpose
of being eaten.
It wouldn't make
any economic sense.
- [chomping]
- And the whole Land of Ooo
would be thrown
into delicious chaos.
Ooh!
And that's why
it has to be a secret.
That doesn't merit
a closely guarded secret, Jake.
It would be an invisible
sealed pit in the wasteland.
- [ominous music playing]
- And within,
would be a prison
of demons
Whoa.
- [demons growling]
- [Finn] spiraling down
into a deep
gravitational core.
- [demons screaming]
- And the only way to stop them
from invading Ooo
would be to battle
down to the very bottom.
But once you traveled
all the way
- into the infinite depths
- [demon screams]
the heat and gravity
would've slowly
tempered your body
-to such extremes
- [ominous music ends]
that returning
to the surface
would no longer be
an option.
That would be good too.
I just want in
on that secret.
- Yeah, man.
- [laughs] Yeah.
- Hey, guys.
- Hi, Princess.
- 'Sup?
- Thanks for coming.
I have a really important
mission for you.
- [Jake] Yes!
- Tell us!
I need you to guard
the wet paint
on the royal gazebo.
People keep trying
to steal it.
- And Starchy is getting
- [humming] It's me.
really stressed out.
Hey! Hey, you,
get out of here.
Go! Get!
I'll kill you!
Oh, man,
I shouldn't have said that.
[Princess Bubblegum]
So, yeah, I need you
to watch the paint dry
so he can go on vacation.
[both disappointingly] Mmm.
I think we were misled
about some rumors
regarding a secret kingdom?
Oh, no, no, no,
that's another mission
that this guy
is handling.
[Punchy] Who, me?
Oh. [hesitates]
Hey. My name's Punchy.
I can't see your face.
Come on out, Punchy.
[Punchy] Oh. Okay.
[wall rumbling]
- Whoa!
- [grunts]
Uh Oh, no. Sorry.
I was just doing
what you said.
Oh, no, no, no.
[Princess Bubblegum]
It's okay, Punchy.
You're doing exactly
- what you were supposed to do.
- [metal clanking]
Punchy's mission
is to deliver this peace treaty
- to the Secret Kingdom.
- [mystical music plays]
So you don't want us
to handle it?
- No, Jake.
- [safe clangs]
This is extremely sensitive.
If the mission
were to get sidetracked
or delayed at all,
war could break out
between the kingdoms.
I need perfect types,
not adventure types.
Punchy follows instructions
exactly.
So the directions
on this ancient punch card
can guide him
to the secret location
of the Secret Kingdom.
[Punchy] Yes, Princess.
I will not fail
in this mission.
I'm a very reliable,
regular guy.
"Regular"? You're gonna trust
- this busted robot--
- [shushes]
Please don't call Punchy
a robot.
[muffled] He has no idea.
- Huh?
- It's okay, Punchy.
Launch yourself
into truck form
and deliver the treaty.
Yes, Princess.
I will launch now.
[Punchy rattles
into truck form]
[truck clangs]
Now, I'll show you two
to the gazebo.
You comin'?
[both sigh
in disappointment]
Here's the paint.
All right, Starchy,
you can go on vacation now.
Phew.
All I can do now
is blow off steam
in this no-seatbelt
death trap
and try to repair my soul.
- [screaming]
- [engine revving]
[grumbling angrily]
[yells] No!
I don't trust that robot
to deliver that treaty.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Like if he farts
on his own wire
- and that flips him evil.
- Yeah!
- [playful music playing]
- There he goes.
[shutter rattles]
Oh. Who slammed my butt?
I could just stop
and investigate.
But I'd rather just follow
these punch-out instructions
exactly
and not deviate
from the mission.
And that's me exerting
my free will
to do exactly
what I was told.
Ugh, it's kind of
cramped in here
for a box truck.
Hmm. Must be
his robot guts or something.
Which is further evidence
that this Punchy guy
is not what he appears to be
on the outside.
- [truck rattles]
- [both grunt]
- What was that?
- [grunting]
[eyes pop]
[Jake] Man,
I can't see squat.
[Punchy] What the heck?
There's a hole in the planet?
Is that another universe
down there?
With another me
down there too?
My directive
is to stick to the road.
What am I supposed to do?
Oh, man!
Sounds like he's gonna put
a hole in the planet.
We'll deal with that later.
First, we gotta get
that piece of paper back.
Then we gotta take
this homie out right now.
[car horn honking]
[Starchy] Yo, road hog,
you're creating a bottleneck
with your big caboose!
- Move it, dude!
- [water splashes]
Be more self-aware!
[Punchy] "Move it, dude"?
Oh. Okay.
- I can move it, dude.
- [engine sputtering]
[engine revving]
Okay, maybe I was
a little hasty
about the full traitor thing.
Let's sit tight
and keep an eye on things.
- Good plan.
- [tires screeching]
- Now what?
- [Punchy] Uh, hello? Hello?
Who is he talking to?
[Punchy] Sir, please.
Why are you doing this?
People are meant
to cross the road.
That's why Glob
created two sides.
My My internal processing
won't allow me to go
until you cross
one way or the other.
- [system beeping]
- What do I do?
How do I follow
my instructions
if he stays there forever?
- Can you hear that?
- Yeah.
Sounds like he's asking
for instructions
from some kind of
evil organization
who wanna sabotage
the peace treaty!
We gotta slay this guy
right now.
Agreed.
- [truck parts whirring]
- [both groaning]
- What's happening?
- [grunting] He heard us.
He's gonna torture us, dude.
[Punchy] Sir,
are you intentionally
trying to hinder
my mission?
[punch card holder whirring]
Sir, my instructions
are very clear.
If you don't provide
new inputs,
I'll just have to
Uh
All right, well
[whirring]
[both screaming]
[scarecrow whooshes]
Oh, bother. I gotta mosey,
or I'll be late.
You think you can torture us
into submission?
We'll never break!
Don't tempt him, dude.
We don't know
what this sicko is
- [truck parts whir]
- [straining] capable of.
[upbeat music playing]
[both thudding and grunting]
- [Jake] Whoa!
- [Finn grunts]
[Finn, Jake grunt]
- [Finn, Jake's voice shaking]
- [bridge rattling]
[weakly] Jake?
- [weakly] I'm dying.
- [tires screech]
[eagle calls]
- [Punchy] "Stop"?
- [curious music playing]
Okay.
Then what?
And then what? [echoes]
- [system beeping]
- Okay, okay, okay.
Stop sign.
- Stop sign
- [punch card holder whirring]
Mmm.
There's nothing in my code
about this?
- [whirring continues]
- Oh, man, are you for real?
[groaning angrily]
[electricity crackling]
- [electricity crackling]
- [both groaning]
- [Punchy shrieking]
- [electricity crackling]
- [engine revving]
- [clanging]
Hey, Ding-a-Ling,
this road is for cars only!
But But what about
the stop sign?
Roads are for driving.
That's the rule.
- [sign clangs]
- I'm free!
Get a job!
One last mile.
- [metal clanking]
- You can do this.
[Punchy rattles
into truck form]
[truck clangs]
- [engine revving]
- [thuds]
[both] We're free!
And we nabbed the treaty!
And that's what you get
when you hire non-robots.
- You get the goods.
- [laughs]
Okay. Now let's scoot
before--
- [Punchy] No stealing!
- [Finn] Ahhh!
We knew it!
We knew you were
a traitor all along!
You're interfering
with my directive.
Uh, was that okay?
Was that an okay punch?
[Jake] I'll show you
an okay punch.
- Zoop!
- Whoo!
- [dramatic music playing]
- [inhales] Whomp.
Princess Bubblegum
should never
have trusted a robot that--
- [shushes] He doesn't know.
- Oh, yeah.
- [thuds]
- [Jake grunts]
[grunts] Beep, bop, boop,
bop, bop, bop, bop, bop,
bop, bop, bop, bop,
bop, bop, bop.
- [rapid thudding]
- [Jake groaning]
[grunts]
- [Jake groaning]
- Whoa!
[Punchy grunts and thuds]
Jake, to the Secret Kingdom!
Somewhere over there probably!
[tense music playing]
[Jake grunts and thuds]
[clanking]
[safe lock clatters]
[tense music intensifies]
- The treaty!
- [Punchy] My life's purpose!
[grunting and panting]
[ground rumbling]
- [truck engine accelerating]
- [Punchy grunting]
- [loud crash]
- [Jake grunts]
- [both] Traitor!
- [Punchy] Traitor!
- [both] Traitor!
- [Punchy] Traitor!
[stranger] Hey.
[all gasp]
Is this the Secret Kingdom?
[stranger] Can you keep
a secret?
- [curious music playing]
- Yeah.
[strangers whispers] It is.
- [quietly] Yes.
- [quietly] I knew it.
[clears throat] Greetings.
Um, hi. I am here
to deliver a treaty
from the Candy Kingdom!
[stranger in normal voice]
Wait.
Bubblegum was only supposed
to send one dumb messenger.
Which one of you
is a robot?
[in normal voice] Uh, well,
this guy's not a robot.
He's just a regular guy.
Isn't that right, Punchy?
Hmm? Super regular, right?
Uh, yeah.
I'm just a regular guy.
- [trap door rattles]
- [Punchy screams]
- [fire crackling]
- [shredder whirring]
[metal pieces clattering]
[both] We're the robot.
[stranger] Excellent.
- [slit shutter clicks]
- You may enter.
- [gate rumbling]
- [exhilarating music playing]
[Jake exclaims]
[Finn, Jake] Secret Kingdom!
[Jake] Yay!
[laughing excitedly]
- [Finn] Ooh, yeah!
- [laughing continues]
[both] Huh?
[in sing-song voice] Hello!
Um
Hey, is this the secret
waiting room or something?
[in normal voice] Nope.
This is the Secret Kingdom.
We've got hundreds
of thousands of secrets,
all stored
in these filing cabinets.
But they're, like, cool
and exciting secrets, right?
See for yourself.
You should be able
to read them
- since you're a robot.
- [scribbling on paper]
Go on.
[chomping] Mmm, data.
Well, that guy
sure likes 'em.
- [punch card holder rattles]
- Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
I love it here.
[groans softly] Ugh.
We're gonna leave.
[Secret Queen] Oh.
Erase your memory
on the way out.
[Jake] I wish we could.
- [cutlery clatters]
- Lunch break.
- [door rumbling]
- [mystical music playing]
