[adventurous music]

- [yells]

- Rufus!

That's impossible.

No.

[engine revvs]

- Jerome!

- He was dead.

- Jerome!

- [grunts]

- He's not gonna get away with it this time!

- The worm is in the hole.

Eddie's laptop is virused to the max.

- Excellent work, guys.

- Now all we have to worry about is tracking down that dollhouse.

- Yeah. - Someone must have seen something.

I mean, it's a big dollhouse.

- Yup, it was the middle of the night.

No one would have seen anything.

- Shame the walls don't have eyes.

- Alfie, that's brilliant.

Both: Lounge cam. - Lounge cam.

- Maybe we're starting to get somewhere.

- The crown is the same as the one on the woman in the footage.

- We don't think it's sarah now.

We think it's a spirit brought here

With the artifacts in the exhibition.

- You think the lady in the video

Is the unknown ruler?

- It doesn't matter what we think.

I mean, imagine how many hits we'll get on this baby.

I mean, you wanted eyeballs.

- So what do we know about her?

- Well, nothing. She's the unknown ruler.

- Let me see the picture of her in the cellar again.

- Yeah.

[computer chiming]

- What's the matter?

- I don't know. The file looks corrupted.

Umm...

Oh, don't worry.

You type it up, and we go live tomorrow.

- Cool!

- I do believe you're getting the hang

Of this journalism game, mara.

- This is a disaster!

We've lost the dollhouse,

And now that article is gonna get every amateur

Ghost hunter in school down there.

- Not to mention the information it's going to give victor.

- [sighs] this is hopeless!

There's nothing we can do.

- There is one thing.

Fabian could try and persuade joy not to.

You know, just sweet talk her.

- Are you serious?

- I think I am.

- [laughs] congratulations, buddy.

[laughs] you're bait!

[laughs]

- And patricia, you need to apologize to eddie.

- What? - It's a two-pronged attack.

You work on eddie, and fabian works on joy.

- Are you going to ask me to get close to alfie,

Because I wilt, you know, if that's what you want.

- Yes, actually.

I need the two of you to watch lounge cam

And find the dollhouse thief.

- Are you sure about this?

- No,

But right now, it's the only plan we've got.

- Yes, that's it.

Would you?

Now.

Aha!

Look, vera, it's the falcon symbol.

Excellent.

This is indeed one of the reflectors.

- Oh, ingenious.

[gasps]

- Mm?

- And have you made some progress with the next one?

- Ah, yes. Now.

Um...

Right.

See, you see, the sun hieroglyphic

Is used as an ideogram.

This is an elongated wave symbol.

Now on line r-10 of the rosetta stone--

What? - [sighs]

Victor, that all seems very complicated.

What if it's actually deceptively simple?

- [laughs]

[coughs]

You are surely not suggesting

That we are looking for the sun, my dear?

- Yes, actually, yes.

That's exactly what I think we're looking for.

- Mm?

- Come with me.

- Mm?

[door opens]

- They see you?

- No, but they might have had a camera

Watching the camera.

I'm starting to get paranoid.

- [sighs] boring.

Fast forward.

Stop.

Rewind.

- No.

- Jerome?

- [gasps] the sun!

- Under our noses the entire time.

- [sighs] isn't everything?

- Oh, yes.

The falcon!

Excellent!

- Oh, victor, we make the perfect team.

- Mm-mm-mm.

- [whispering] gotcha.

But who is he?

I've never seen him on the antique circuit.

- [whispering] you might know him as rene zeldman.

- Rene zeldman? No.

- No. Don't!

- Trudy's in there. - Just stay there, jasper.

Please.

You don't know what this man is capable of.

He's pure evil.

- I don't get why I have to say "sorry."

I didn't do anything.

Feels li I'm selling out.

- That's not selling out.

That's a relationship.

Now go, make up.

Now, you.

[sighs]

Go in there.

Just be nice.

That's not too hard, is it?

- Right. No, no, no.

No, no.

- You charm her.

You convince her that putting this article online

Would be an error.

- An error?

- Sorry.

I'm nervous.

- Yeah, you-- [coughs]

You and me both.

- [laughs] I'll be fine.

You'll be fine.

- What?

Um...

What I do if, I don't know,

I have to ask her out to eat or something?

- Why would you ask her out to eat?

- Oh, I don't know, I'm just asking,

What's my limit?

- I don't know!

Just remember, fabian,

There's a lot riding on this, okay?

- [sighs]

Please. - Good luck.

[knock at door]

- Oh, if it isn't blabs.

- Will you stop giving me goofy nicknames?

- Stop doing goofy stuff.

- Just shut up for a second.

I've come to apo--

I've come to apol--

I mean, I was r--

I just want to say s--

[sighs] no, I can't do it.

You're a doofus.

- Worst apology ever.

- I'm not sorry, because I didn't do anything.

I kept your secret.

I'd keep any secret of yours.

Yeah, I was mad at you, but I'd never do that.

And the fact you think I would really makes you a doofus.

- [sighs]

- Now why would I want to pull this story?

This is gonna make my relaunch.

- I just have a feeling that this is a hoax.

- Oh, you have a feeling.

- Oh, come on, joy.

Ghosts?

Haunted egyptian relics?

- I've seen stuff, remember?

Stuff that we don't talk about

Because you and the scooby gang shut me out.

And after everything I went through last term,

Being shut away with just my parents,

A chess board, and no phone,

And you...

Well, you chose that exact moment

To finally get a girlfriend.

Besides, we've got proof.

- It's just a blurry image, joy.

- No.

The spirits on the bid video. I shot it myself.

- It's a hoax!

Effect software.

- Do you know this for a fact,

Or are you just guessing?

- Well, no, I don't know this for a fact.

Look, what I they're not real though?

- People don't care about the details, fabes.

They want to believe in this stuff.

- What if you're being taken for a ride?

Don't you care?

- Well, why do you care so much?

- Because I do care!

- Really?

- Yeah.

Yeah, of course I do.

- Fine.

I'll drop the article.

- You will?

- But on one condition.

- Anything. Anything.

- You kiss me.

- [gasps]

- I kiss you?

- Well, if it means that much to you.

Do it properly this time

Knowing that it's me and not under false pretenses.

- [gasps]

- [stammering] I can't.

- Why?

- I'm sorry, I just can't.

- Still not over nina?

- No.

No, I'm not over nina.

And she may never want to get back together again,

But I can't move on.

- I'll drop the article.

- [gasps]

[whispering] yes. Yes.

- [muffled]

- You really need me to do this, so...

I'll do it.

- Thank you.

- [sighs]

So... - So...

- You didn't do it on purpose.

- No.

- You know I knew that before you came in my room

All high horse and stuff.

- And what about mara?

- What about mara.

- Admit it: You're trying to make me jealous.

- Don't push it, yacker.

[sighs] okay, maybe a little.

Will you cut me some slack now?

- I guess.

[footsteps approaching]

- [sighs] are you okay?

- Of course.

I'm joy.

- Okay.

- [inhales shakily]

[exhales shakily]

- I did it.

- You did?

- Yeah.

She's not going to publish the article.

- Wow! That's fantastic!

[giggles]

- Hmm.

- Eddie, about this article... - Uh-huh.

- Mara aside, I don't get why you're doing it.

I think it's kind of lame.

- [scoffs] I think it's really cool.

I mean, I don't know if ghosts really exist,

But the more you look into it, the less lame it gets.

Trust me.

- Wow, you're really serious about it.

- Sure.

But, I mean, you think it's stupid, so...

- No. Actually...

I don't.

But don't do it the way joy wants it.

Mara's right.

You need it to be taken seriously...

Or you won't be taken seriously.

- Yeah. You're right.

- [exhales heavily]

Is this a raid?

- Sit down, buddy.

We've got something to talk to you about.

- [scoffs]

- Tell me this isn't as bad as it looks.

- It's actually much worse.

- Do you want the good news or the bad news?

- What's the good news?

- Eddie and I are good again.

- She couldn't do it.

- I couldn't do it.

- That's all right. Fabian was amazing.

I mean, you must have been.

He got joy to drop the article.

- There you are.

Jerome's got something to tell you.

- Tell them.

- He took the dollhouse! - What?

- Sorry, you tell them.

- I took the dollhouse.

- But wh-- - wait. There's more.

- It was for jasper!

Sorry.

- I knew it. I knew it!

Why would he do that?

- 'cause he was being blackmailed.

- Amber! - Sorry. Sorry.

- Jasper is not the bad guy, fabian.

He was being blackmailed

By the person who kidnapped trudy.

Both: What?

- Get out.

- Vera--vera is his agent.

- Whose agent, jerome?

- Rufus is back.

- Rufus.

No!

No, he's dead. We read his obituary.

- Trust me, he's alive and well. - How?

- All I know is if he doesn't get what he wants,

Then trudy is d--

Trudy is in trouble.

- What does he want? - Something in the house.

He's been searching high and low

For anything and everything frobisher.

That is why he wanted the dollhouse.

- Not to play dolls.

- Hey, I'm sorry I didn't tell you,

But there was so much at stake, okay?

Trudy, you... - Me?

- You threatened jasper, fabian.

We couldn't tell you. We couldn't put you in danger.

- It's okay.

- What now?

- We have to tell victor.

- Rufus zeno is dead.

- Well, then he faked it, because he's not now.

- Victor, I saw him with my own eyes!

And vera's involved. - Now you have gone too far!

- It's true. She works for rufus.

- Ask yourself how she got the job.

Were there any other applicants?

- No one could have possibly--

- Vera devenish is the finest housemother

This place has ever had.

This is outrageous!

- Mara was right. - She's evil.

- Enough!

- What's all the commotion?

- [clears throat]

- Victor? - Nothing.

Usual nonsense. Be gone, all of you.

- Victor-- - now!

[clears throat]

- What's going on?

- Nothing. [clears throat]

We'll, um, have to stay close to them, though.

[clears throat]

- You're what?

- You heard me. I'm not running the story.

- Well, why?

- Because I'm the editor, and I say so.

- But it's a great story.

It could be huge for the site.

Think of the "eyeballs."

- I'm just going to have to make the jackal

A success without it.

You're not the only one around here who can write, mara.

- This was my only chance to get my work out there.

- I know, and I'm sorry.

But after what sweetie said,

I wouldn't be able to put your name to it anyway.

- Huh.

Well, that marks the end of my "making an effort" phase.

- [sighs]

- I brought you a cup of tea and some fig rolls.

- Oh, I'm not hungry, vera, thank you.

- Victor, you have to keep up your strength.

Here. - Oh.

- [giggles]

Any progress?

- Um, well, some of these pictures--

The scarab with the ankh on its back, the cupbearers--

I think I've worked out that together

They refer to a silver goblet

Which once belonged to sarah frobisher-smythe.

- Did you know her well?

- Hmm? Oh, yes. Yes.

All my life.

- What happened to her?

- Oh, well, we grew apart, and...

Soon after I found her again, she--she--she died.

- Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

- Well, death comes to all of us eventually, vera.

Well, most of us, at least.

- Uh, so this silver goblet-- where is it now?

- Ah, now, that is the problem.

It stood in the downstairs dresser for decades and decades,

But it is no longer there.

- Well, they've beaten us to it. - It's possible.

- But victor-- - oh, not to worry.

They're not going anywhere.

We have three of the reflectors, you know.

- He's got three reflectors?

That must mean he has the doll's eye and two others.

What are they?

- Search me, but he's onto us.

He's figured out the goblet's missing,

And they know it was us.

We heard him telling vera.

- Wait, he talked to vera about this?

- Yup, and trust me, there is a significant amount

Of romantic tension between those two.

- Yeah, but she's working for rufus.

- Maybe she's a double agent.

- You've got to hand it to her. She is good.

- Yeah, she is.

The lying, double-crossing mask-hijacking witch!

Hoodwinking us with her cakey ways.

- Back in the room, alfie.

Maybe victor and rufus have teamed up.

- Well-- - that is not a nice thought.

- Either way, vera's got victor wrapped around her finger.

Did you see the way she stuck up for him the other day?

- Yup. A total puppy dog.

So in love.

- I--I don't know what's going on here.

All I do know is that we can't trust either of them.

- Can we recap on who I can trust,

Because my head is literally about to explode.

- Whoever he's working for, guys, it doesn't matter.

We've got the other three reflectors, remember?

[door opens]

- Do you recognize this?

- [shakily] yeah.

It was junk. I threw it out.

- That's why you're there and I'm here.

This thing is priceless.

It's worth more than you, in fact.

- What does that mean?

- It means simply that very soon,

You will no longer be needed.
