[heavy breathing]

[upbeat music]

[laughs]

Eat that!

Oh! [grunts]

You want some of this?

[blaring]

[laughs] You do not want to mess with me.

Hail to the king, baby.

[laughs]

[intense music]

[cackling]

[Nightmare King] There is only one king here.

[gasping]

Leaving so soon?

[heavy breathing]

Don't you want to play?

[Jayden panting]

[grunting]

- [gasps] - And here I thought

we were just starting to have some fun!

[eyeballs cackling]

[gasping]

[screams]

- [Mr. Oz] Jayden! - [gasps]

I know root fungus is a serious threat

to cork tree population worldwide,

but you don't need to get that upset about it.

[theme music]

[Mateo grunts]

What's gotten into him?

He is so into cork trees.

Uh, I don't think that's it.

It looks like everyone had a rough night.

Oh, it's way more than just one night.

And it's way more than your run-of-the-mill insomnia.

[gasps] What do you mean?

I've been talking to everyone, and it turns out

we're all having the exact same nightmare.

We're all seeing this creepy yellow eye every night.

It's like a real-life horror movie.

Are you seeing it too?

Uh, yeah sure. Totally.

I knew it.

Join The Insomniacs.

[Cooper] "The Insomniacs."

Okay.

I thought that was a joke.

No joke.

We're dedicated to exposing the true conspiracy

behind this mind-muddling mystery.

Our currently most popular theories are...

Number three, aliens.

Number two, the spoiled meatloaf

in the cafeteria last week.

And number one,

a shadowy group of Dream Agents

who may be operating under our very noses.

Uh, I'd say aliens.

Yeah, definitely aliens.

Bro, this looks just like...

- [grunts] - [groans]

[chuckles] This little guy has popped up

in the dreams of a few people I've interviewed.

I'm calling it "X-Blob."

Seems to support Teo's alien theory

but hard to say.

Either way, don't worry.

The Insomniacs won't rest until we uncover the truth.

Hey, you! Having bad dreams?

The Insomniacs are here to help!

I told you guys we needed to keep an eye on them.

Get it? Eye?

Anyway, I told you so.

Oh, no. If she discovers Z-Blob,

that could cause some serious problems.

Hey, gang, from the looks on these faces,

I'm afraid we need to delay our Sandman expedition.

Something's not right.

Meet me at the Landing tonight.

I don't know what it is but something's gotta be...

[mumbling indistinctly]

[ominous music]

Where's Mr. Oz?

Uh, more importantly, what is that?

[suspenseful music]

[heavy breathing]

- [crackles] - [grunts]

Yeah, so, we can't get through.

- Thanks for the heads up. - [Logan grunts]

[crackling]

So we can't enter the Dream Realms?

That means we're trapped in here?

- And Mr. Oz can't get to us. - [Cooper] Ah, relax guys.

At least nothing bad can happen to us in here.

Let's hang at the Landing point tonight

and we'll ask Mr. Oz about it in the morning.

I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

[eerie music]

[footsteps]

[music intensifes]

[student] Ow!

[ominous music]

- [growling] - [gasps]

[growling continues]

[Jayden screams]

[pants]

- I just need to wake up. - [Night Hunter] Oh, no.

This is one nightmare you won't be waking from.

[laughs]

- Cooper? - [Cooper] Here.

Jayden?

Jayden?

[ominous music]

Yesterday, Jayden had a nightmare in class,

and today, he didn't show up.

Remind anyone else of what happened to me?

Maybe the dude's actually just sick.

I heard he's been asleep the entire day.

Just won't wake up.

I can't wait to tell The Insomniacs about this.

[Izzie sighs]

Mr. Oz! We went to the Landing, but we couldn't get out.

- It was like a-- - Force field. Yes, I know.

Mine, too.

Looks like someone doesn't want us poking around

the Nightmare King's plans.

Maybe this is payback for rescuing Logan?

Okay, you guys hang tight

and I'll try and figure something out.

Whoa. [scoffs]

What's up with Mr. Oz?

He's just cranky because we can't leave our landings.

Yeah, the Nightmare King's corruption

is spreading pretty quick.

Those Grimspawn patrols are getting intense, right?

- Wait, the what? - Uh, Grimspawn swarming

every realm right now.

Is that not what we're talking about here?

Wait, you're still dreaming?

Like, you can leave your landing?

Uh, yes.

Oh, my gosh!

- Zoey, that's it! - [gasps]

You can go to the other side and see what's blocking us in!

- Do what? - [static over PA]

[Coach Jeffries over PA] Attention all students,

please meet in the auditorium for an emergency assembly.

Oh, what now?

It's, uh, come to our attention that many of you are...

uh, suffering from disturbing dreams.

I blame social media.

[indistinct whispering]

But since your parents

won't let me ban screen time for all of you...

[students sigh]

...Principal Elrod has ordered

mandatory dream counseling sessions

during health class instead.

We have to tell him our dreams?

- Yeah. So what? - [Cooper] So what?

Dude, we're secret agents for the Night Bureau.

We literally go into the Dream World

and fight a guy called the Nightmare King!

Bro, relax.

Am I the only one here who knows how to lie?

Just make something up. It'll be fine.

[upbeat music]

Well, there was a giant bunny and I could ride him.

- That good? Can I go now? - Hm. Let's see here.

Uh, ah! Hm...

Says here that dream could mean you're afraid of growing up.

- [gasps, sighs] - Hm.

- What else? - Robots.

No. Uh, pirates. Yeah, pirates.

There's a robot pirate that's... uh, running on a treadmill.

And then I step up to bat, and the pitcher sends a zinger

down low and inside.

But what he doesn't know is that's my sweet spot.

So, I clock it over the left field wall.

Gah-gah-gah-gah-gah!

And then, I was in a, uh, cafeteria.

- And what happened? - Oh,

I was sitting and there was a teacher...

talking to me...

[stammers] ...uh, at a table.

You mean, like I am right now?

Yes. But...

you were a carrot.

And when you say, "you were on fire",

what part of your body was burning?

Uh, all of it?

Well, that's not good.

I mean, no, just my... elbows?

Oh, man, that's even worse.

You know what I keep asking myself?

Who stands to benefit from all this?

Who among us would just love

to have an especially compliant student body? Huh?

- Who, me? - No? Then what are you doing

with all those books about dreams, huh?

Coincidence? I think not.

Then they handed me the World Cup trophy,

a Nobel Prize, an Oscar, and a check for a billion dollars.

And then I woke up.

- [bell rings] - [sighs]

Who knew making up normal dreams

- would be so hard? - This is why I never lie.

Come on, we need to find Zoey and convince her to help us.

I think we missed the boat on that.

[suspenseful music]

[Izzie] Maybe not.

I think I know how to bring her around.

- [doorbell rings] - [knocking on door]

Ugh, this again? Really?

Tip first, then we talk.

[Mr. Oz] I'm not sure why, but your Dream Bridge

is stuck on the Fantasy Realm and sealed from that side.

Unless we can quickly get someone over there

to see what's blocking it, all your schoolmates

may be captured by the Nightmare King.

So you're saying you have no idea

what you're sending me into?

Uh, eh, basically.

Well, we can't just send her in alone like that.

Why doesn't she take Z-Blob with her?

What? No!

No one said anything about taking Z-Blob.

Excellent idea.

He can enter the Dream World with Zoey.

Yeah, no. I'm not babysitting.

Plus, I'm faster on my own. He'll just slow me down.

- Yeah, what she said. - Guys, were you not listening?

All of those kids are counting on us.

Our friends. All our classmates.

[sighs] Fine. But I get to poke around

in that closet full of dream gadgets.

That's technically Night Bureau property

- so I can't... - Deal!

All right, come on, little dude. Guess you're coming with me.

No! No deal. Not a chance.

I did not agree to this.

[Izzie] Broseph, he'll be fine.

What if Coop was still trapped over there?

Or me?

We gotta help all those kids.

- You wouldn't just leave Coop-- - Or me.

[sighs] Fine.

He likes a story before bedtime.

Oh, and if he stains your furniture,

just use a little dish soap. Oh! And I forgot to tell you--

Teo, I got it.

They grow up so fast. [sniffs]

So, this is unexpected.

On your way to a dream date with a ball of snot.

You sure know how to pick 'em, Zoey.

[playful music]

Well, at least you don't talk much.

And just so we're clear, you sleep on the floor.

Zian! Would you knock it off?

I don't care if he took your food.

Spit him out!

[spits]

No, Zian. Not this time.

You're too big and the skies are full of Grimspawn.

You stay here, okay?

- [Zian grumbles] - We'll be fine.

[both grunt]

Albert? What are you doing here?

Your teacher may be trapped in his landing,

but this here cowpoke suffers no such indignities.

I'm the half of Oz that's mostly dream.

And I'm here to help.

Why? I'm not a tour guide.

Well, for one, I brought this.

A walkie-talkie?

A Dreamy Screamy actually.

Allows us to communicate from anywhere in the Dream World.

Your friends should have the other one at their landing.

Hello? Can you guys hear me?

Anyone?

[static]

Well, thanks a lot for the big help.

Now I've gotta get going.

With the skies full of Grimspawn,

it's gonna take me forever to get to that

busted dream gate.

Can't have you both slowing me down.

Oh, really?

I guess we'll see who gets there first then, won't we?

Darn straight.

[suspenseful music]

[both grunt]

Okay, fine. But we're taking my shortcut.

[suspenseful music]

[yawns] Well, I think I'll turn in.

We got an early start tomorrow, right, Iz?

Huh? Oh, right. Yeah, we gotta go.

Oh, no. Not tonight. I heard from your school today.

They told me all about the dreams you've been having

- and what they might mean. - Uh, I don't think

they mean anything. They're just dreams.

No, no, no. That's where you're wrong.

They explained everything.

They said both of you have been feeling very neglected lately.

So tonight, I have decided that we're gonna stay up super late

for a family movie night. [laughs]

Doesn't that sound like fun?

No really, Dad. That's not--

Ah, ah, ah, ah. No buts.

I am all hands on deck now.

You won't be able to get rid of me, all right?

Go get a seat while I pop the popcorn.

[chuckles]

Oh, man, whoever heard of a parent

forcing their kids to not go to bed?

Coop, it's Teo. You gotta help.

[Mateo] My dad won't let us go to sleep

because of those fake dreams.

Dude, my mom, barricaded the doors

'cause the school told her I wanted to run away.

She's calling in my brothers for a family intervention.

- [line cuts] - [gasps]

- [phone beeps] - Logan, it's Mateo.

[Logan] Dude, I'm on my way to Queens.

My moms think I'm afraid of heights now

so we're staying at my cousin's ground floor apartment.

[Logan] I can't fall asleep on that busted couch.

[phone beeps]

[whispering] What are we gonna do?

I've got another idea.

[suspenseful music]

[Grimspawn cackling]

[all grunting]

[groans]

If we had taken my shortcut, we'd be there by now.

Would you two get off me already?

[Grimspawn cackling]

[Zoey] Looks like the Nightmare King's moving in.

It's getting to be like this all over the Dream World.

We'll have to find a way around.

That'll take hours. Come on.

Aren't you Oz's dream creature? Where's your sense of adventure?

Oh, no. I embody precisely half

of Oswald's personality in the Dream World.

The reasonable half. And I say we go around.

You're no chimp, you're a chicken.

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

No, wait! Look out for that--

[grunts]

[Albert grunting]

[Zoey screams]

[Albert grunts]

Okay...

yeah, maybe the logical half of Oz's brain

should lead for a while.

[swords clanging]

[Oriental music playing]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't fall asleep now.

This is the best part.

Plus, guys, we've gotta finish the Oni Trilogy.

And then we're onto the next season.

Tons of quality family time.

[doorbell rings]

- Delivery! - That's weird.

- I didn't order anything. - Yeah, your neighbors

accidentally doubled their order.

- What is it? - Extra large helping

of Thanksgiving turkey,

warm glass of milk, and chamomile tea.

It's all paid for and nobody else

is going to want this order, so... you should just take it.

Well, okay. Thank you.

[mischievous music]

[snoring]

[grunts] Family time.

[mumbles, belches]

[ominous music]

[Night Hunter] Your Shadiness,

the blob and Oz's pet have been spotted.

I know. [evil laughing]

I'm leading a battalion there now.

I'll inform you when we have the little dream creature.

Take my steed. There's no time to lose.

And capture that girl, too.

[stammers] The girl poses no threat.

I don't want anything getting in our way now.

Understood?

[tense music]

[upbeat music]

- [engine revving] - [mutters]

[Cooper screams, grunts]

[suspenseful music]

Finally. Wh... where have you guys been?

Zoey, do you read me? Are you there? Over.

Is Z-Blob there? Is he okay? Over.

[Izzie over radio] Zoey, do you read me?

[Grimspawn laughing]

What took you so long?

Well, it's actually a funny story.

We don't have time for that, Iz.

Zoey, are you at the gate? Can you hear me?

Do you see what's blocking it? Over.

[Zoey] Yeah, we just got here.

And I think we found the problem.

[Zoey] Hang on.

- [door rattles] - [all gasp]

- [grunts] - [electricity crackling]

[Night Hunter] Well, isn't that a dream team?

[Grimspawn cackling]

Bring me the blob and the ape. I will deal with the girl.

- [weapon clicks] - [whooshing]

Keep working on that device.

Z-Blob, you're with me.

We'll try and hold 'em off.

- [Albert grunts] - [Grimspawn] Ah!

Aw, spitfire, why didn't I bring a blaster?

[grunts]

[grunting]

[suspenseful music]

- [Grimspawn laughing] - Grimspawn

don't belong in trees.

- [grunts] - [Albert screams]

[grunts]

[grunts]

- Chimpanzees do. - [Grimspawn cackling]

Go, little buddy.

[Albert] Strike!

Now that's a kill shot.

You said there was a glowing white bulb, right?

That sounds like pretty basic electronics.

It should be the power source. Follow the wire back.

[Cooper] There should be some kind of antenna.

[sighs] What wire?

There are so many of them going all over the place.

[Cooper] It should be thicker than the rest.

- Look for the-- - Is Z-Blob okay?

Tell us what's going on.

[intense music]

[cackling]

[sighs] We are in a pickle.

- Hi-yah! - [Grimspawn scream]

[heroic music]

[horse neighs]

[Grimspawn cackling]

[Grimspawn grumbling]

[Cooper] Hurry up! What's taking so long?

I can't get the wire to break. It won't budge.

And if I can't get this door open,

I am Grimspawn chow.

[cackling]

[suspenseful music]

[growling]

[intense music]

[electricity crackling]

[gasps]

[intense music]

[Logan] Yes! The door's open!

Z-Blob! Come on, Zoey.

[Izzie] What are you waiting for?

Go! Help Zoey.

I'll hold 'em off by myself.

[intense music]

[grunting]

- [Zoey screams] - [Mateo] Z-Blob!

You did it!

[suspenseful music]

[clangs]

[Grimspawn cackling]

[Albert grunts]

[Mateo] Z-Blob!

You made it.

Zoey, you were freakin' awesome.

There were like a bajillion Grimspawn behind you

and-and you kept your cool. Like, ice cold.

Um...

[gasps] Albert.

- [Zoey] Where's Albert? - [Logan] What are you doing?

I have to get Albert. I left him behind.

It's too dangerous.

Look, if you open that gate again,

- you'll get captured too. - I thought

you said you couldn't get this wire cut?

I didn't. The Night Hunter

missed me and the arrow split it.

On accident?

Well, that was lucky.

What? You think he did it on purpose?

That's crazy.

Bro, seriously. Why would that dude

bust the lock his boss put on the gate?

That's just it.

This lock didn't come from the Nightmare King.

This is...

Night Bureau tech.

[knocks on door]

Coach Jeffries? I'd like to introduce myself.

I'm Doctor Celia Strick. A clinical psychologist

who works with the school district.

Huh? I didn't hear nothin' about any specialists.

But, boy, am I glad they sent you!

These nightmares are getting totally out of control.

Yes, that's precisely why I'm here.

Perhaps we can start with this.

Please, tell me absolutely everything your students

have been saying about this.

[suspenseful music]
