The Troop (2009) s02e06 Episode Script
Through the Looking Glass
[laser fire]
Ah!
Whoa!
What took you so long?
I had to get dressed.
I see you missed
that part.
When TroopGrid goes off,
I come running, babe.
Besides, this is just
a disguise.
I'm trying to blend in.
At an old folks home?
See?
It's working.
So what have we got
out there?
Three Basilisks cornered
at the end of that alleyway
That is not good.
I know.
It's grave.
This could be our
last day together.
Are you thinking what
I'm thinking?
No.
[slurping sounds]
Jake we had a TroopGrid
alarm
and you take time
to get a smoothie?
Well, I had a belly alarm
and breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
Next to second breakfast.
I got you guys one, too.
Thank you!
Is this soy?
[loud noise]
Basilisks, huh?
I got this!
[rooster sounds]
What are you doing?
The crow of a rooster makes
them mad.
I know.
Run!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Close your eyes!
Don't look at them!
Come and get me!
[rooster sounds]
[roars]
[laser fire]
Oh yeah!!!
What do you say
about that?
[ringing]
I think we have
bigger problems.
[computer voice]:
Warning! Portal open!
Oh, no!
Portals usually only stay open
for a minute at the most.
But TroopGrid says this one's
been open for 20 minutes.
And I don't think it's going
to close anytime soon.
Well, until it does,
we'll have an endless
stream of monster attacks.

Seriously, does anyone
get dressed in the morning?
I'll have you know
these bunny slippers
give surprisingly
good traction.
I know, right?
I think I might have
discovered our problem.
This explains why the portal
isn't closing.
Jake's portable TroopGrid, huh.
What? It came off during
the fight.
There's a theory that,
because of TroopGrid's
unique frequency,
if ever one was lost
in the monster dimension,
it could open up a door
between our worlds.
Although it could be bogus
because The Dutch
came up with it.
[Both]: Ugh, the Dutch.
You know, I'm three-quarters
Dutch.
That means unless
someone goes over
to the other dimension
to retrieve it,
monsters will overrun
our world.
No, no, no!
We don't know if anyone
can survive the trip.
I'll go.
Oh great.
Hmm
That's it?
No one's going to stop me?
[leaves whistling]
We won't be able to communicate
with you across the portals,
so I made these.
All you have to do is put
the message in here,
turn on the homing
beacon here
And twist here.
Releasing the Dimension
Mite.
Toss it up immediately
and it'll come back across
into our world.
Unfortunately we don't
know where.
Troops across the globe
have been alerted
to look out for
your messages.
You only have
five of these,
so use them wisely.
Got it.
You just twist the cap
and presto!
And now you have four.
Okay, once you've
found the TroopGrid,
come straight back to
the portal and jump through.
We'll be waiting for you.
And take this in case
you get hungry.
I'll be back
before lunch.
But thanks.
This is amazing.
According to this do-hickey,
you'll be the first
documented Troop member
to come alive from
the monster dimension.
Except for N-[click]-ela
from Kwa-Zulu Natal in 1672.
But he did die from
painful wounds suffered
while in the monster
world a day later.
Painful wounds,
look at that!
Shhhh!!!!!
You'll be fine.
Just come back.
I intend to.
Great.
It's just me and you, buddy.
Etienne, I would really
appreciate if you would help me.
I would love to, Hayley,
but someone's got to keep
an eye on the portal
at all times in case a monster
tries to slip through.
Don't worry, you're
doing fine.
[thick accent]
Mr. Stockley, I have posted
Jake's message on TroopGrid.
Gracias, Guadalupe.
The Monetero, Bolivian Troop
just recovered a message
from Jake:
"Wicked Cool."
How many of those
does he have?
Four.
Now three.
I'll keep you guys updated.
Gas Leak?
[startled]
Ahh!!!
Really?
Yes, it is a really
big one.
Can I tell people?!
Yeah, tell everyone.
[squeals of delight]
Woah!
[bird squawking]
[distant roars]
Ahhhhh!!!!
Ugh!!
Really?
[thunderous sounds]
Cadence.
Just got this from
the Minsk Troop:
"Found jacket, but no
Cadence. Still looking."
This may take longer
than we thought.
Etienne, put this on.
So we can keep the whole
'gas leak' illusion going,
alright?
See, I told you!
And look-their signature
Gas Leak Suits!
Go, go, go, go!
Umm, Gas Leak here.
I know.
I'm totally going to post
this on Fritter.
Gas Leak here in Lakewood.
I can't believe it.
Believe it guys.
Gas leak!
Awesome!
No, it's dangerous.
You need to leave.
What's wrong
with you people?
I was at your show
in River Bend.
Oh, I see your mistake.
No, no, no, see,
this is actually a--
I am not moving and I am
prepared to be blown away.
Gas Leak is my
favorite band!
Okay, but this
actually isn't--
And I love you.
Prepare to be blown away.
[loud cheers]
What's going on?
They think we're this
band called 'Gas Leak"
that's known for surprise
concerts in random places.
Can you sing?
Still no sign of Cadence.
Should have taken
granola bar.
Any way you can send food?
[loud roars]
You don't belong here,
Jake.
Cadence, wait up!
Go home!
You're out of your
league here,
you'll be destroyed.
By something out there
or maybe even me.
Look, Cadence, there's a portal
open and it won't close
until I get that portable
TroopGrid back.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You had it in your hand--
in your claw,
when you were sucked
into the portal.
Oh, after you pushed me?
After you tried
to destroy me.
Cadence!
Keep your voice down.
What you want is
down there.
What's that?
Home.
[loud cheering]
[laser fire sounds]
A light show
and a concert?!
This is going to be Awesome!
[loud cheering]
[laser fire]
Etienne, I could use
a little help.
This is the third monster
that's tried to come across
in the last 30 minutes.
Hey, it's not easy for me.
Someone's got to rehearse,
do the sound check
and don't get me started
on the glitter
Good news, Jake found
the TroopGrid.
It shouldn't be much longer.
[chanting]
Gas Leak!
[chanting]
Gas Leak!
[chanting]
Gas Leak!
I can't believe this,
it's a dream come true!
I'm fighting monsters
while a crowd cheers my name!
You know you're not
Gas Leak, right?
Maybe not, but today
I get to be.
Where did you get
all this?
Found most of it.
Stuff that I guess was
lost and fell into this
world over time.
Those I brought
over when I came to this
world as a kid.
You were born
in my world?
This what you're
looking for?
Yeah, thanks.
Good.
Now go.
So, you lived here
as a kid?
Yup.
All alone?
Mostly.
My brother didn't like to stick
around here for very long.
Said the place felt too
Human?
[loud thunderous sounds]
The monsters
they smell a human.
Listen to me, they won't stop
until they get you.

Man, Gas Leak
is really good.
They're better than

and Kung Fu Omelet
put together.
Wow.
You and I really have
nothing in common.
[chanting]
Gas Leak!
[chanting]
Gas Leak!
We're going to have to Snark
the entire crowd
and make them forget
all about Gas Leak.
We don't have
to Snark them.
Hmm?
We just have to rock them!

Ahhhh!!!!
Cadence!!! Help me!!!!
Jake!!! No!!!!
Are you okay?
I think so.
We've got to move.
Come on.
Oh, no
When that thing grabbed me, it
must have broken the TroopGrid.
Good news is that the portal
will finally close.
Bad news is
I'm stuck here.
Let's go! Come on!

Jake's still inside!
Don't!
Ummm.
[loud cheers!!]
Vintage Gas Leak.
[loud cheers!!]
I don't even want to know
what happened.
I never knew being a rock star
was so dangerous.
I've contacted every Troop
in the world.
We're on highest alert.
We're going to find a way
to get them back.
Especially Hayley, right?
What?
Hayley!
Thank goodness you're okay.
Wait, how'd you get here?
Because my TroopGrid
broke and--
I jumped through the portal
before it closed.
You're amazing.
About time you noticed.
And you have a way
to get us back.
No.
What?
But if you brought
your TroopGrid with you
I accidentally left
it behind, okay?
I was in a bit of a rush
to save you.
You blew it?
That's so unlike you.
Well, you're welcome.
[clears throat]
Wait! Cadence is with us.
How can you be sure?
After all she's done.
Cadence is the only reason
why I'm still alive.
She's saved me twice
already.
I can't believe you came
here with no way out,
just because you were
worried about Jake.
I don't want to hear it
from you, too!
No, it's justnice.
[loud thunderous sounds]
I think it's time to go.
Ready?
Yeah.
Every Troop in the world
is going to open a portal
at the same time.
Jake and Hayley will
have 60 seconds
to find one and
cross through.
Let's hope they do.
It's like Christmas
in a bottle.
Etienne, focus!
[laser fire]
I'm out.
Can you
do your thing?
No, I'd rather go out
as a human than live
as a monster.
Can we take a quick
vote on that?
Look!
Be careful!
Don't just shoot at
something because
it's coming across.
It might be Jake
and Hayley.
Hopefully.
I can only promise
not to shoot Hayley.
We won't make it.
Yes, you will.
Hey ugly, over here!
Come and get me!
Ahhhhh!!!!!!
Did they make it?
Does anyone have them?
Hayley!
I'm sorry.
[Both]: Hey guys.
[laughter]
Thanks for saving us.
We'll need some plane
tickets to get us home ASAP.
Where are we?
Mahalo.
You know, on second thought,
no rush on those tickets.
Oh, Cadence, good,
there you are.
There are some books
of breathing and meditation
in here that I think
will help you control
your monster side better.
Thanks.
For everything.
[bell ringing]
Ibetter get to class.
You guys won't believe it.
It's all over the Gas Leak
chat rooms.
They're calling last
week's concert
the best Gas Leak
concert ever!!!!!!
That's very exciting
for you.
I know it's great
and sad.
No one even knows
it was me.
Maybe I should break
from the band.
Go on a solo tour.
Hey, Hayley, wanna be
my roadie?
[both]: Mr. Stockley?
Yeah, go ahead.
Kirby's on his way.
I feel kind of bad
doing this.
Etienne, formerly of
Gas Leak.
I'll be a superstar.
What do you guys think?
Good luck with that.
What just happened?
Well, we brought you
into a secret society,
trained you to fight
monsters,
we saved the world
from destruction
and you became a huge
rock star.
Really?
Oh, and I kissed you.
Yeah, right.
