House of Anubis (2011) s02e74 Episode Script

House of Timeout

Vera.
Vera, can you hear me? Vera? The mark of anubis.
No, vera, vera.
Vera, this is a trick.
Those urchins are trying to scare us away from the mask.
Vera? Not the mask.
Return the falcons.
Or the frozen one will perish.
Nina.
What's wrong? What did sweetie want to talk to you about? "a certain american student "may seem as wholesome as her granny's apple pie, "but when she spends so much time cutting class, "you have to ask, "is she worthy of the scholarship? "if she spent as much time "caring for her seriously ill gran in hospital "as she did running around campus Why doesn't she fly the old lady home?" Nina, this is horrible.
Way harsh.
Mr.
Sweet had some questions.
About the whole "cutting class" part.
Who would write that about you? I do have a hunch, maybe.
You mean joy.
This isn't joy.
Yeah, no.
No way.
Joy would never stoop this low.
Oh, come on.
Break it down, people.
Who's jealous of nina? Joy.
Who'd like to get nina out of the way? Joy.
- Uh, senkhara.
- Vera.
- Rufus.
- And victor.
And senkhara may be one big bad spirit lady, But I don't think she can work a laptop.
Look, I don't care who it was, okay? Because it's true.
I didn't even think of flying gran home, Because I've been so busy following this quest and I'm a terrible granddaughter.
No.
No, look at me.
If we don't find this mask, She may not even have a granddaughter.
We have to keep going, even more than before.
Right.
Okay, so we'll go.
We'll get the other reflectors off victor.
We'll go downstairs.
We'll complete the constellations.
We'll find the mask, give it to your ghosty friend, And then we're free.
And then you can get back.
To being the devoted granddaughter.
That we all know you are.
Deal? Deal.
No, that won't help.
Those delinquents are sharp enough to follow my trail.
Do not judge me, corbiere.
This is for vera.
Okay, so how do we get the watch.
And the other two reflectors from victor's office? What do we usually do when we want something victor's got? Ransack his office.
Which involves getting him out of the way, And we have class in five minutes.
Look, whatever it is, it has to be good.
I mean, victor never just goes out.
Ah, trudy? Trudy, I'm just going out.
And I want to be a millionaire.
I'm not sure when I'll be back.
Um, but I may be quite some time.
Okay, let's do it.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Now, they wouldn't be anywhere obvious.
They'd be well-hidden.
Or not.
Look.
- That's the zodiac of horus.
- Yeah.
And a list of the reflectors and where he thinks they are.
Look, the doll's eye, The stained glass shard, the fob.
This is really weird, okay? This is just too easy.
I, for one, am in favor of easy.
Wait.
Victor's fob? And look He's keeping the doll's eye in the cellar, And he thinks the sun clue.
Means the stained glass window in the attic.
Hello? Doesn't anyone else think it's strange.
That victor's all of a sudden gotten so careless? Maybe he's just worried about where vera's gone to.
Look, besides, if we don't round up these reflectors, It's game over.
Okay, well, we need to get out of here.
I need to visit my gran after school.
All right, look, we've got this.
We'll follow victor's notes after school, Grab the reflectors, and we'll meet up later.
Let's go.
Let's go.
- Joy? - What's up? This blog on nina who wrote this? Jack jackal, whoever that is.
"jack jackal anonymous" for nothing.
Anyway, sweetie told me to take it down.
And find out who jack is.
But jack jackal didn't write this.
- He sent it in.
- No, he didn't.
Well, how could you possibly know that? Wait, you're jack jackal? No, as if.
I wish.
All right, it's me.
But I'm not allowed to write under my own name, And I have so much to say.
But I didn't write this.
You did.
Excuse me.
You said jack jackal sent it in.
But I know he couldn't have, Because I'm the one with his email account.
This is really mean, joy.
I know, and I'm sorry.
And when it gets out that I'm jack, Mr.
Sweet's going to have every right to expel me again.
Well, I won't say anything.
About anything.
Okay, I guess I won't either.
What if victor's locked vera up here.
Like in jane eyre.
What? I've seen the movie.
I hope I spend more time in the library than you.
Yeah, I've only ever been to the library.
For a bake-off or some sort of heist, Or for a cool passage down to the tunnels.
Look.
This is it.
Gently.
Careful, alfie.
Always with the lack of trust.
Look what you made me do.
Nail chip.
I know.
You have no idea how long it takes my nails to grow.
Amber.
Do you think victor had her stuffed? That would be so victor.
She's alive.
Well, she's not doing a very good job of it.
Vera? Vera? Vera! Shh.
She can't hear, but the rest of the house will.
Oh, no.
We mentioned the secret tunnel to the library.
If she can hear Then you definitely made sure she just heard it twice.
So what do we do now? We take the shard, back away slowly, And I totally kill you if you let it slip.
That we might have let vera know.
About the secret passage to the tunnel.
Okay, yeah.
That's a good plan.
It's simple and, uh, easy to remember.
Run! - Glass shard.
- Doll's eye.
Fob.
Okay, let's go get nina.
Excellent.
Vera? Oh, vera.
I have failed you.
She was totally frozen.
Totally.
She was just So right now, in the attic, There's a frozen but alive vera? A zombie vera.
Okay, well, let's just worry about that.
After we finish this task.
We need the other reflectors.
They're in our room.
Okay, let's go.
What was that? Vera? Vera? Am I late for dinner? Where are you all going? - Shopping.
- Library.
- Paintball.
- Homework.
Hobbies are good.
It looks like vera's all thawed out.
But did you see her palm? - She's been senkhara-ed.
Senkhara said she'd make them suffer.
She must have done something to her.
See, it's true.
Zombie veras do exist.
And, it seems, can hear perfectly.
Yeah.
Oh, vera.
Vera, you're all right.
Oh.
It was the strangest thing.
It was like being freeze-dried.
Were you in pain? Were you awake? My eyes were frozen, so I could see straight ahead.
I could hear, though.
I heard your concern for me, victor.
Oh, yes.
Yes, I-I-I, um I had the strangest dream.
We were down in the cellar, And a woman was demanding that we stop our search for the mask, And she wanted Uh, vera, I had exactly the same dream.
And as a matter of fact, I don't think it was a dream.
The mark of anubis.
Uh-uh-uh-uh uh-uh-uh-uh.
Where are you off to? We're going to the library.
No, no, no, no, no.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Great, there goes our best chance.
At sneaking down to the task chamber.
We can't go to the library.
There's people in the kitchen.
And we can't do it at night, either.
And we're running out of time.
I don't know what happens.
When the moon reaches the sun in the task chamber, But I know it's not good.
Look, we'll go down at dawn.
It's our only option.
Sibuna? Hey, fabs.
Hey, um, I wondered if you knew.
Who wrote that stuff about nina on the website.
Website? Well, the website you're editor of.
And check all the submissions to.
And generally run.
Okay, I get you.
Which article, now? Joy, the jackal anonymous blog.
Please don't tell me you're jack jackal.
I'm not jack jackal.
So you didn't write that piece on nina? No.
I haven't even seen that posting on nina anyway.
That's not like you.
That's very bad editorship, joy.
No, it's just Well, I don't care about nina's scholarship.
And whether she flies her sick gran home.
But if my users want to read that sort of stuff, Well, who am I to I thought you didn't read it.
Haven't.
You just quoted it Twice.
That is a horrible, horrible thing to do.
Oh, do you want to know the worst part? I defended you.
I guess you're not the girl I used to know, joy.
Well, you're not the boy I used to know.
That's right, close ranks like you guys always do.
It's way too early.
My head's not going on with the rest of my body.
Oh, no.
All right, the moon's nearly over it.
Come on, we need to go, right now.
Reflectors, quick.
- All right.
- Is that right? Alfie.
Amber.
- Hurry, hurry.
- I can't tell.
Hurry.
It's nearly over.
It's nearly over.
- Nina, come on.
- Hurry up.
- Come on.
- Nina.
No! Constellation fail.
So are you still visiting your dad this afternoon? Only if you come too.
I need backup, jaffray.
Why? For when I tell him about the gem.
Because when I tell him I've lost it, I think he is going to lose it.
I think he cares more about you than the gem.
Yeah, right.
"hi, dad, great news.
"you know that 30 years of bad luck you got "for stealing that gem? Well, surprise, you're going to have to do the full stretch.
" I'm sure he'll be thrilled.
So I've been thinking about my gran, And maybe it is best if I took her home.
Nina, dear? A quick word please.
Sure, I guess.
Sure, see you later.
Odd.
Fabs? I just wanted to say sorry.
Jack jackal was out of order.
Yeah, well, that's awfully big of you, jack.
But I don't think it's me you should be apologizing to.
It's nina.
You wrote that posting? I knew it.
Classy, joy.
So you're jack jackal.
Not exactly.
Oh, yeah, sure, joy.
It's true.
I'm not jack.
Listen, can we talk privately? I just want to explain.
I'm not interested in your explanations, joy.
It's about your grandmother.
The hospital called just after you left for school.
I'm afraid your gran has taken a turn for the worse.
The doctors would like you to go straightaway.
And I'll come with you, of course.
No.
I mean, I'd just rather go on my own, if that's okay.
Of course.
The gem was right there in the shield, And then it was gone.
I let you down, dad.
I'm sorry.
At what point did you let me down? You found the missing gem.
Then you retrieved it from inside a goose.
Then you cat burgled the housekeeper who stole it.
Then you won a ping-pong championship.
To get the shield to put it in.
Pretty much.
You're a true clarke.
You couldn't write it.
Someone should.
"saved by the gem: A tale of two clarkes and a goose.
" What do you reckon, mara? Would anybody want to read that? Well, actually, yes, definitely.
Oh, hey, I can, however, show you a picture of the gem.
Ah, there she is.
Beautiful.
I will get it back, of course.
I will.
I just need to figure out how.
I know.
Oh, I see my boy's finally got his act together.
Oh, no.
Sorry? Ah.
- Oh, the ping-pong.
Yes, you should be very proud.
Right, well, we better be getting back to the house.
Mara? - Mm-hmm.
Are you sure you're not an item? I've just seen a photo that said otherwise.
Dad, it's a bit complicated.
Then keep it simple, stupid.
That one is a real gem.
And she likes you.
Don't miss your chance, okay? Okay.
I don't know the normal rules.
For being frozen in an attic by an egyptian spirit.
I mean, can you hear? We had a whole conversation about the secret library passage.
In front of her.
If she can hear, the others are going to absolutely kill you.
Why me? Because you'll take the blame in order to protect me, Obviously.
Okay, but plan "a" is still we just don't tell Nina and fabian, right? Tell us what? Tell youThat I'm organizing a charity jog-a-thon for bunions.
But don't worry, I will absolutely not allow it.
To interfere with my sibuna commitments.
Or my very secret use of the very secret tunnel.
I've just heard that nina's on the way to the hospital.
Apparently, her gran's gotten a lot worse.
Fabian.
What have the doctors said? They're very concerned.
She was doing so well, and now this.
I don't understand.
It looks like the doctors are as confused as we are.
"evelyn meridian martin.
" That's an unusual middle name, "meridian.
" Some sort of family name.
Why? No, no, just asking.
It says she was taken ill in london.
- Some tourist attraction, uh, "green-witch" observatory? It's greenwich.
Greenwich.
You know what else is in greenwich? The international meridian.
Okay, so? What's wrong? Tell me.
Greenwich mean time: Gmt.
I think your gran fell ill.
Right on top of the international meridian For time.
I think your gran might be My gran is the timepiece? No.
Gran, no.
No! No, no, gran!
