The Troop (2009) s01e26 Episode Script

The Next Stop: Lakewood

Well, Gus.
Oh, if you don't mind,
I'd rather be called Augustus.
I associate Gus with
an earlier, unhappy me.
Of course, Augustus.
Your file looks impressive.
Your progress here
has been extraordinary.
Well, thank you, doctor.
This is a remarkable facility.
It's led to
exceptional treatment.
You're interacting well
with the other patients here.
Especially Fredo,
you're very kind to him.
Yes, he's a good kid,
once you get past the smell.
And he's very talented too.
He helped me build this
Nice.
What's it do, play music?
It's more like a dog
whistle or a duck call,
but for monsters.
That's very
disappointing, Gus.
I though we were
through with monsters
and tales of a Troop
that hunts them.
Didn't we decide there are
no such things a monsters?
That is what you've been
telling me all these months,
but maybe you should tell
them.
[growls]
[crash]
[screeches, growls]
Doctor Whawhat is that?!
[gasps, screams]
Eeeeee!
And my name's not Gus.
It's Augustus.
[shrieks]
[screams]
Hayley Pick it up, guys!
Come on!
Jake Sorry, Hayley.
Felix was busy
mishandling his weapon.
Felix I was busy following
the plan you guys made,
which I predicted
would go wrong.
But nobody asked me,
which I also predicted.
Did you also predict the part
where you set me on fire?
Hayley Guys, come on.
It's been three weeks
non-stop monster hunting.
I know we're all fried but
let's just try to get along.
Felix, are you going to snark
those people or are you
just going to stand there
like an ignoramus?
Interesting definition
of 'let's all just get along.'
You know, you have
been kind of bossy lately.
I get so frustrated when
I think of all the other things
I could be doing that would
benefit both the world
and my college applications.
[shriek]
Then why don't you go
do them, Ms. Activity Doer?
Felix Don't worry, folks
Hayley Are you planning
on shooting that thing?
Waiting on you,
your Highness.
On three.
Onetwo
You were suppose to aim high.
Jake Oh, I aimed high,
you just didn't wrap him up.
Maybe if I gave orders
once in a while,
it would be more effective.
Jake No thanks.
I don't want to be
set on fire again.
I'm sorry.
Here you go.
[fizz]
I know you think
that's annoying me,
but it actually feels amazing.
What's going on?
[Jake and Felix complain]
Enough.
Stop your bickering.
Dr. Brandenburg Ahem.
Stockley Troop,
this is Dr. Brandenburg.
He's the head of International.
Dr. Brandenburg.
It's a pleasure.
What an honor, really.
I'm not here for honors.
Except the usual.
[ceremonial music plays]
Computer Say "cheese".
[camera clicks]
I wish that I could
enjoy your groveling
but I'm afraid I'm here on
rather less pleasant business.
We at International have found
your Troop unprofessional
and unable to control
this monster outbreak.
It's an honor even when
you tell us we stink, sir.
Jake Kiss up.
You think it's our fault?
I'm not here
to point fingers.
Except at you.
We're shutting this Troop
down until further review.
What!
[devices power down]
[beep]
TroopGrid Signing off.
Stockley HQ is sealed, sir.
The TroopGrid is
officially locked down.
Kids, you better get to class.
We'll talk later.
I really don't think that
the full lockdown is necessary.
Rule 9.3-1.4A clearly states
"When a Troop is under review,
it's facility and access to the
TroopGrid will be shut down".
If you had followed Rule One
"Get some monsters",
we wouldn't be here in
the first place, would we?
[ring powers down]
Stockley The
lockbox is secured.
I'll put this in the safe
in my office until you come
to your senses - I mean,
complete your review.
The Troop will
be back, right?
I don't know.
These reviews rarely
turn out well.
Well, whatever happens,
we'll totally stay friends.
Exactly.
Of course.
Hayley Yeah.
[school bell rings]
Well, I've got to get to class.
Yeah, see you guys around.
Yeah.
Augustus Are we in?
Fredo Ah, ha ha ha.
Don't worry.
I shut down the Troop.
That's not what I asked.
Do we have access to Troop
headquarters and TroopGrid?
[deep monster voice]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
That Stockley human
sealed the place.
You pathetic, incompetent
A human insults me?!
I'll eat you whole and spit
out your bonesahhhh!
You silly monster.
You'll only do what
I want you to do.
[groans]
Lucky for you,
we still have a few more hours
to get into Troop headquarters.
Only a couple more
hours until your birfday.
Oh, I love birfdays.
Yes, this year
will be very special.
Special?
Is there going to be a pony?
Better.
Ah, an elephant?
Better, Fredo.
Ooo, a pony?
No.
An elephant?
Hey, Hayley, what's up?
Ah, just crazy.
So I'm helping to plan
the school dance,
I was just awarded a
marine biology fellowship
and it looks like
they're going to rename
the school cafeteria after me.
So, what's new with you?
I was shooting a
rubber band and stuff,
and I lost it around
here somewhere.
Ah, glad we're
both keeping busy.
It feels funny not to
have the watchcom on, huh?
Yeah, I talk into this watch
but it's not the same.
Yeah, old watchcoms
don't have them.
Nope.
Are you bored?
I'm dying!
Let's go do something.
Hayley Ah, sorry, Jake.
I can't.
I promised I'd have lunch
with some friends
from student council.
Plus, we've made it into
the championship round
of the Knowledge Bowl.
But, some other time, yeah?
Don't worry about it.
I got my rubber band thing.
Maybe me and Felix will
meet up and we'll
have lunch.
Blake Can't you
stop it, Bailey?
Oh my goodness!
[clatter]
Felix Aaaah.
By the time these guys
get around to serving us,
it won't be frozen yogurt!
It'll just beyogurt.
Know what I mean?
Know what I mean?
[screams]
Blake We're closed.
Oh, come on!
Alexander What's going on?
Blake We're closed.
We're closed?
Bailey Here you go.
Don't bother.
You can't stop it,
it's yogurt.
Felix Okay.
[machine whirs]
There you go.
Alexander That's fantastic.
You saved us, partner.
I'm no hero.
I'm just a citizen
with a multi-tool
and a love for yogurt.
How would you like
to be the manager?
How would I like
to be the what?
Alexander Well, obviously,
I'm going to need somebody
to be the boss of these two.
I'm Blake.
Bailey.
You mean like a
boss.
(phone message) Yo yo yo.
This is Marcus.
Sorry, can't answer the phone
right now but I'm hanging out
with my righteous bros.
[message beep]
Hey, Marcus, it's Jake.
Remember that time,
six months ago, you called
and "Hey, let's hang."
Well, I'm finally
calling you back.
And if you've still got
that big piece of ear wax
that looks like a turtle,
I'd love to see it.
I'm pretty free these days.
Dr. Brandenburg You finally
decided to show up.
I'll call you back.
I mean, for real this time.
Stockley Dr. Brandenburg,
what can I do for you?
I'm going to need
those keys to HQ
and the code to restart
TroopGrid.
I thought we
covered that already.
Think again.
Gus.
Augustus You're rules
don't apply here anymore.
Especially since he's
not Dr. Brandenburg,
but a Locht.
Aaahhh!
Let me go, let me go!
[growls]
Hayley!
Argh!
[tires screech]
Guys, come on.
I'll be right back, okay.
I'm just going to get a water.
Jake There you are.
We have to
Wow, you're popular.
You know how it is, right?
I mean, you come up with the
theme for the school dance,
and people just kind of
start chanting your name.
No, I don't know.
Look, we've got to find
Mr. Stockley.
He was attacked by
Dr. Brandenburg who's
really a Locht.
[splat]
And Gus.
That doesn't make
any sense, okay.
We sent Gus away.
Well, he's back
and he's done something
with Mr. Stockley.
Let's get a move on.
Hey, that's the theme
for the dance. Oooh!
Jake Hayley, you've
got to believe me.
I'm not making this up.
Mr. Stockley?
He doesn't look attacked.
What are you two doing here?
I saw Dr. Brandenburg
shape-shift and attack you.
And Gus was there.
He's going through
Troop withdrawals.
Jake, I know that this
has been difficult on you.
I really saw
Stockley But it is important
that we all go on
with our lives.
But
I said, "Good day."
No, you didn't.
I didn't?
Oh.
Good day.
Hayley I'm outta here.
Next time you're lonely, find
someone else to drag around.
Would you mind closing
the door as you go out?
Sure.
Well, that went
about a smoothly
as I could have hoped for.
We got rid of them
and I foundthis.
And I foundthis.
Ow!
I have the key
to the headquarters.
Now all I need is the code
to TroopGrid.
What do you need that for?
To release all the monsters
and use them as my army.
And then, take over Lakewood.
Finally, the town that
ignored me will be mine.
[crowd cheers]
Felix There ain't nothing
like some Po Bros Fro Yo.
Y'know what I'm saying
or are you too
Crowd Slow!
Felix If it's more toppings
you need, more toppings I'll..
Crowd Throw!
Felix 'Cause it's never
in my nature to ever say no.
You want mo', to go,
in the snow, or be-low?
Well, Felix is here
to deliver it
Crowd Oh!
Felix Thank you, thank you!
Here you go.
Felix.
Jake!
Could you guys take over
from me for a sec?
[crowd groans]
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't worry, I personally
trained them.
Crowd Yay!
Can you believe it?
You've got to try a bowl of my
new flapjack flavor of yogurt.
It's selling like hot cakes!
What!
Gus is out.
Just look at this.
Gus was one of the patients who
went missing three weeks ago.
And three weeks ago, is when
we started getting hit
with monsters.
Where'd you get this?
The library.
Felix The library!
I'm so proud.
Whoa, hey.
Can anyone else get in on this?
Or were you two
sharing a moment?
[Hayley laughs]
Felix This is awesome.
The old team
back together again.
Hayley I know.
It feels good.
We're all in terrible danger.
Less awesome.
I saw Mr. Stockley
heading into Troop HQ
with Gus and Dr. Brandenburg.
I told you.
They locked themselves
in down there.
Maybe I can get us in.
Let's go.
Jake Oh, what
about your new job?
Blake Here you go.
Bailey Where's the cherries?
I do dream that my tasty
dairy treats will revolutionize
the world, but first,
we must save it.
[thud]
[metal clatters]
Stockley I will never
give you that code.
Augustus It doesn't mater.
Fredo's hacking into
TroopGrid as we speak.
[keyboard clicks]
Soon, we'll have access
to all these cells.
[gurgle]
Oh, there's one now.
[Locht growls]
Bon appetite, Cube.
Nooo!
TroopGrid TroopGrid
activated.
Awaiting request.
[beeps and clicks]
Happy birfday.
Look what I finded for you.
Augustus My birfday,
I mean, my birthday
is not for another hour.
And careful with
the Dimension mites.
They'll open up a portal
to the monster world.
And that is not
part of our plan.
TroopGrid Request accepted.
Security over ride pending.
Something's missing.
What?
You're not wearing
your party hat.
I will not work unless
you wear your party hat.
[sigh]
Happy?
Yeah.
I'll have you into
TroopGrid any minute now.
All right, I know we
don't have any weapons
so this is the best I could do.
[Felix grunts]
Ah, what's that?
This is my T-shirt cannon
from Po Bros Fro Yo.
And that's your
weapon of choice?
Hayley, have you ever been
hit by a frozen T-shirt?
I'm not sure what the
least embarrassing answer is?
It stings you twice.
Once when it hits you
and second, when
everyone laughs.
[zap, pop]
Aahh!
Well, we're definitely
not going in this way.
Where's Jake?
He said he had a plan
to get us in.
Laurel Oh, I can never get
used to the endless supply
of water you have here.
Jake You guys
remember Laurel.
I didn't know you
two stayed in touch.
Oh, Jake comes to
visit me every Wednesday.
What?
I love nature.
So, this is your big plan?
Don't underestimate
the power of nature.
[slosh]
[creaks]
[rumble]
[boom]
Felix All clear.
Thanks again.
See you on Wednesday.
Good luck.
Oh, no.
Hey, I don't judge
your boyfriends.
Hayley No, I meant this!
These are Mr Stockley's clothes.
And the Cube's cell is unlocked.
They fed him to your Cube.
Felix They couldn't have.
[Brandenburg's monster voice]
Actually, we could, and did.
And you're next.
[Jake groans]
[growl]
[blast, thud]
What'd I tell ya?
Jake He took all the weapons.
Felix There's got to be some
left in the weapons allocator.
[beeps]
Let me try it.
[beeps]
Gus must have locked us out.
I'm going to try to bypass it.
Augustus Nice try.
But you're too late.
I know that you feel fear
at the sight of me.
Now that I have the power.
[snickers]
What?
You think this is funny?
You think this is
some sort of party?
[snickers]
I'm still wearing
the hat, aren't I?
[snickers]
Silence!
All of you, come with me.
[whack]
Ow!
I got him.
I got him, boss!
Yes, you've done good, Fredo.
You've done real good.
TroopGrid Initiating
control of all major
Lakewood infrastructure systems.
Power, electric,
communications - disabled.
Blocking potential interference
from any other Troop Squads.
Watch them.
[zap]
Careful with that!
Augustus Yes, careful, Fredo.
I want them alive
to watch me take over
Lakewood.
Stockley Watch this.
My mother gave me these.
Ow!
I told you the Cube
wouldn't hurt him.
Stockley After I snark you,
you won't even remember
that good always
triumphs over
[zap]
Argh!
Mr. Stockley!
Augustus Stay back!
[grunts]
Switch the blasters from
'stun' to 'destroy'.
There's no second chances
for these losers.
Jake You're not going
to get away with this, Gus.
It's Augustus!
And I already have.
[system powers one]
TroopGrid Releasing
all captured monsters
from detention center.
[snarls and growls]
Gus Hack successful.
Augustus You see, Jake,
I control everything.
Including the monsters.
All with a turn of this switch.
[whirs and beeps]
It's stuck.
[rumbles]
Hayley Turn it off!
I can't!
Fix it, idiot!
[crash]
[whoosh]
Pretty.
Augustus Fredo!
No, don't!
[whooshes]
This place is coming down!
Hayley Mr. Stockley!
[wind roars]
Got it!
Come on, baby.
Don't fail me now!
Jake You're not
going anywhere.
[wind roars]
[groans]
Gotcha!
[wind roars]
It's off!
Jake, the portal's closing!
Pull yourself towards me!
Come on, before
the portal closes!
Hayley Gotcha!
Don't do this, Augustus!
We can get you out of there.
Augustus And then what?
Back to the Institution?
Or worse, back to my old life?
[wind howls]
I've got a better idea.
Jake No, Gus!
Don't let go!
Gus!
[monsters growl]
[muffled screams of Gus]
Stockley I'm sure
he'll be fine.
Yeah.
These things all work out.
Hayley I'm so
glad you're okay.
Hayley Um, ahem, we all are.
Stockley You know
what this means?
Jake What?
We're back!
And our first order
of business is
Clean this place up, we know.
I was thinking, going
to get pizza, my treat.
Jake Ah, Mr. Stockley,
don't you want tochange?
Well, I wasn't thinking of
taking you any place fancy.
[monsters growl]
Maybe we should order in.
Good idea.
Definitely.
