All language subtitles for The Ink Thief s01e05 Earth + Water = Muddle

This week... Where on earth is Lonnie? I
don't know.

Are you sure this is the earth? Not the
earth. Earth. The element world.

Where is that Lonnie? No time job
keeping an eye on bumps.

Better get moving.

Find the earth bump, find the other
three and get back to the library.

I haven't been away from my bumps since
1885.

I hate to think that they've been up to.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

No! No!

No! No!

Good music for a monster.

Oh, see, I see.

Let's have a look. Come on, then.

Right in first.

We apologise for the bumpy flight.

Take that. And another one.

Come on, you know you love it. Come to
that.

Heads or tails?

Gotcha.

It's like 249 coming in.

Be back later.

Oh, how can anybody be so desperately,
evilly, awfully, horribly

powerful, and yet altogether so superbly
me as me?

Oh, I'm quite overwhelmed by myself.

Oh, Jim, my dear, dear boy.

You have done wonders. There seems to be
no limit to my powers since you made me

drink that page from the book.

It's still not enough to keep you like
this and make you real before the ink

timer runs out.

Observing the flow of ink, I'd say we're
down to a matter of days.

Days? We don't need days.

We strike now.

The power is ours. Watch.

a little.

Yes, we've got the powers to stop the
four bumps, but have we got the power?

You're using it almost as fast as I can
store it. Trust me, boy. Look, I'm

almost real.

The time is now. We go.

We eclipse the four bumps of the
apocalypse.

But the power deficit.

Oh, trust me. But there may not be Oh,

Jim, Jim, Jim. A man doesn't say, can
we? A man doesn't say, should we?

A man says that thing which you told me.

Go for it.

You mean, go for it?

That too. But for your sister.

For your family.

For that perfect world.

I could measure up power rations and try
to make it last.

That's the spirit.

I've got a wish in Trotty to catch bumps
faster.

Oh, no.

You let me ask them. The dear things
will do anything for me if I ask them

properly.

Well, this is it, my boy.

Are you ready?

Yes. Yes, it is time.

I want to go home to a better world. And
I want my sister back. And I just want

to go home.

Whatever it takes.

Let's do it.

Bang. Are you a happy rat, Aloysius?

Nice life down here, not working too
hard.

Think you might work just a teensy bit
harder.

Oh, good, I'm so glad.

Because if you don't work much, much
harder collecting bumps, the next bump

the machine will be you.

Followed closely by Toddy.

We will tell Toddy that, won't you?

I'm so glad. Do you know, I told Jim
that you'd both be dying to help

if only I asked you properly.

He's got to protect the library.

Not a lot of bumps left in the oob.

The thief and his hench creatures shall
not pass.

The oob will protect his bump, which
brings up certain points of

Son of Cork.

No string. Wait, not string. Planning.

If Letitia Tiggle were here... She'd
have a plan.

Miss Tickle left me.

Watchdog!

Watchdog gonna have a plan!

But first, I gotta think.

You hold him, Miss T. I'll go look.

No, no, no, you can't go alone. It's a
monster. We gotta go with you and

you. Don't we, Miss T? Samantha can take
care of herself perfectly.

Quite right.

She'll certainly need you to be brave
and go with her.

Won't you, Samantha?

I certainly will.

Come on, Lorne.

That's fabulous.

Not a monster?

Nope. Not going to eat us?

Uh -uh. It's a fossil.

It's a skeleton in the rock of something
that lived a long time ago.

And speaking of rock, it looks like the
music's right.

Miss Tickle!

There's a fossil.

We found him, Miss T. We found him. Come
on in.

Yes, those were the days.

What a combination.

Earth, water, cheese and air. You
couldn't go anywhere. We weren't the

one act.

What happened to fire?

Oh, terrible hothead. We did your
universe with him.

And it shows, ah, reality was just
growing up, getting mellow.

Your average universe went for cheese.

Chop, smooth, hot, soft, oh, cheese had
it all, yes, indeed.

Careful with that side, a brood in
Apricot Valley, strong stuff.

But that was then.

Four Elements is retired.

We've gone back to our own worlds now.

Don't think we'd remember how to mix it
up and shake it anymore. I'd like to

help you folks, but...

Old Rock is back in the Earth world
where he belongs.

I can't rock and roll like I used to
when things was young.

You're not as old as all that.

I've been around as long as you, and I'm
not old at all.

Oh, it's life on the road, Miss Tiggle.
Always another universe.

I got eroded, water got polluted. It
happens.

Air got blown out. And cheese?

Cheese just hangs in space and stays
cool.

Please, Rock, you've got... to try.

The four bumps can stop the thief. The
four bumps can get my brother back.

Please don't be old. Please don't be
feeble.

Miss Tiggle says she's as old as you and
there's nothing feeble about her.

I know how Rock feels, Sam.

I was heading that way myself a bit
until you... until we...

Well, I know how Rock feels.

Well, maybe just...

I still remember a few of the old
numbers.

And I can still do a mean mudslide.

And there's a few surprises in my
quicksand.

Gonna have to work up the volcanoes.

But what the heck?

Earth is still stinking rich. Maybe
there's life in the old rugged.

Maybe we could do it.

Yeah.

Maybe we could do it.

I just got to go.

this once, will you?

Now, what are we going to do?

I'm going to grab the books and tear
them open and pull out all the bumps and

bump them in the brains until we got all
of them.

Shh!

Oh, yeah.

And I'm going to be real quiet.

Because if you don't... Because if I
don't, you're going to turn me into a

burger before the boss can turn us into
toys.

Right. Right. Now, come on.

Put it there.

Don't call me a pussycat.

You go this way, and I'll go that way.

the first bump of the four bumps of the
apocalypse.

I've seen the act.

Terrible. No class. No sense of theater.

Oh, the elements were there all right.

But there was no spark.

They never quite managed to set the
world on fire.

I ain't afraid of you.

You're afraid. I ain't afraid.

You're afraid. I ain't afraid.

You're afraid. I'm afraid.

Run!

I'll landslide them.

I'll pulverize them. I'll bury that
boat. If I don't, we'll get the old

Water first.

Follow me.

You can't outrun it. You don't have the
power.

Actually, I think they can.

They're catching us.

Keep running. Water will stop them.

The edge of Earth's world.

Not again.

You'll learn to love it.

My

special

effect. What's happened to my special
effect?

It burnt out.

You're running low on power. We have to
get back for more.

I... I... I didn't like what happened
there.

Oh, so they've got one of the four bumps
of the apocalypse. They can get two,

three, but they have to have all four.

How could you possibly think that of me
after all this time?

Have you got a handkerchief?

I've still got a small drop of power
left.

Now watch.

You see?

It's bonfire.

It... can't burn real things like
handkerchiefs and cisterns.

It's all right.

Don't apologize.

Trust me.

Yes, I was being foolish.

As Bumpeth, and in the name of the
entire official organisation of Bumps, I

order you to leave this library, you
horrid rodent. Sure, no problem.

We'll all go together. You, me, and the
entire official organisation of Bumps.

Just transport your poopside havoc, moi,
you Bumpethness.

Right, you have been warned.

Goblin moonshooters, advance!

were official bumps before the ink
thief, and there will be official bumps

the ink thief is gone.

You may surrender now, or the moon
shooters will shoot.

No, they won't. They will?

They won't.

Go on, boys.

Shoot. We can't. Why not?

Technical problem.

Oh, for goodness sake, what's wrong?

You're

Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

It's Chuck!

OK, OK, OK. Everybody get behind me on
account that I'm big.

It's going to take him a long time to
eat me, and you can get away.

Why, Lorny Snoop, you're getting really
brave.

Uh -oh, Miss Tiggle.

I'm really scared, but Sam's my best
friend, and you're my other best friend,

and... What are friends for?

I'd say friends is for lunch, the way
you amateurs are going about it. Listen,

this is business.

That's Walter's agent.

Now leave this to me.

Okay, we can talk to her, but if she
helps save any universe, the shark gets

10%. What about it, wet thing? We're
getting the four bumps back together

again. Special charity gig.

Rock, you hunk. You know I love you, but
the tide's out on all that. I'm happy.

I'm not drained anymore.

I'm full of life. I'd be mad to go on
the road again.

Rock, stop wasting time on them.

Talk to water. Tell her... He is talking
to water, person thingy. All the water

bumps are water. You've got eyes and
hands and a mouth and things. I've got

bumps and lobster bumps and things.

All right, that's enough of that.

You can slot around being talking
seafood now, my dear, but it's going to

or the ink thief soon enough.

If I were you, I'd want to be the four
bumps again, mighty quick.

And what has this ink thief got to do
with me? He's an awful bump, and he's

my brother, and he burnt the Earth
world, and he knows that only the four

can stop him, and he's stealing power,
and if he gets enough, he'll be real,

he'll be the worst person ever. Oh, I
don't know.

Maybe I'll spend my time doing nice,
quiet things like...

Cheer up, Jim. It was only a small
setback.

I should have thought of it. Of course
water can travel in a storm.

I was sure it had to stay on its own
planet. Never mind.

Cheese doesn't stand a chance.

I promise it'll all be over in a day or
two and you can go home a scientific

hero. With Sam?

It's safe to sound.

Cheese never prospers.
