[suspenseful music]

- Ready? - Ready.

[Cooper] Why are we sneaking?

[Logan] I don't know, really. But it feels right.

Psst.

[shocked gasp]

Zoey? What are you doing here?

What do you mean what am I doing here?

I got that chimp captured,

I'm gonna get him back.

Oh, is the Lone Wolf officially joining the Dream Chasers?

No. But Mr. Oswald will know what to do.

If anyone can tell me how to free Albert, it's him.

[theme music]

[humming]

Uh, Mr. Oz?

Are you okay?

Children! The new generation.

The life in your eyes.

You hungry?

Uh, I made paella.

[sniffs] Savor that saffron.

It's like the sun's playing jazz.

Bro, what did you do with our science teacher?

Oh, man, it's Albert!

With Albert captured,

Mr. Oz is missing half his personality.

Wha... That makes sense to me.

[Mr. Oz] Oh! [giggles]

I mean, check this dude out.

Crazy.

Wow, who knew Mr. Oz was so colorful?

I guess anyone would be if you take away

the logical side of the brain.

Mr. Oz! Come on! Snap out of it.

We need to find out who put that lock on our dream gate.

[Strick] That's easy.

I did.

- Wait! - [Strick] Finally!

I knew you were here somewhere.

Ah! Stop!

[grunts] Let go of him!

He's mine. I made him!

So you should know how important it is

to keep him under wraps.

[tracker beeping]

[tense music]

[Strick] I spoke with your little school.

You've been reckless.

Almost every student has dreamed about this thing.

- Hey! - [yelps]

He's not a thing, he's my friend!

[yelps] What are you doing?

Hey! I'm not a Dream Chaser!

For aiding and obscuring a class four dream aberration,

I am placing all of you under surveillance.

With these devices, I'll know every move you all make,

in this world, and the--

You know you can just use

itty bitty microchips for that, right?

They are old.

Almost nothing new has had the ability

to cross back and forth in decades.

Nothing until this showed up.

And it's the Night Bureau's job to maintain a border

you all have been very careless about.

So now, I'll be watching.

[tracker beeping]

And if I don't like what I see,

I will make you go back to being normal dreamers.

No more landing, no more dreamcrafting.

Forever.

Mr. Oz, do something!

You can't let her take away Z-Blob!

He's right. You can't take him anywhere.

Until he's tried this paella.

Even if he were in his right mind,

he wouldn't be able to help you, because as of today,

this branch of the Night Bureau is closed.

No!

Now, turn in your ID badges.

We were supposed to get badges?

He never gave you...

Honestly, Oswald,

what kind of operation were you running here?

- [grunts] - [spoon clattering]

[kids yelping]

[groans] This is awful.

I know!

I want an ID badge so bad right now.

Last summer, I earned enough points

on the BunChu Blaster app that I got--

[Mateo] Who cares about badges!

What about Z-Blob? We have to save him.

Don't forget Albert.

Plus, Jayden and the kids at school.

Okay! We have to free everyone.

So... so what do we do about it?

Night Bureau or not,

I'm going into the Dream World to rescue Albert.

Yeah, if Albert's free, Mr. Oz would go back to normal,

and then, he could help us deal with Strick.

And then, we can get to the Nightmare King.

But you heard that lady.

The Night Bureau knows exactly where we are!

That's where you come in, Teo.

You stay back here tonight.

My thoughts exactly!

I'm gonna go rescue Z-Blob! I'll catch up.

- No! Do not get Z-Blob. - [grunts]

Just make sure Strick stays focused on him,

so she isn't watching what the rest of us are doing.

[Zoey] But under no circumstances

- try to rescue Z-Blob. - Uh--

Not until we're done. Got it?

I... I guess so.

But... if this doesn't work, if Strick catches us,

we could be turned back into normal dreamers!

It's a risk I'm willing to take for Mr. Oz and Albert.

Are you?

[intense adventurous music]

- Everyone ready? - [Logan] Yeah.

Let's rock and roll.

Izzie, is your brother at the observatory?

Mateo snuck out when I got in bed,

he should be there by now.

And we're sure he won't screw up

and make the inspector zap us into dreamless dorks?

Hey, Mateo knows the mission.

My plan depends on us not being tracked.

Coop! You're the gadget guy.

Can you dreamcraft any way to get these things off?

[sparkling]

I think I can get in with just a screwdriver,

but it'll take some work.

Okay, great!

Everyone, follow me and try to keep up.

I like to keep my plans fluid.

Okay. All right.

Let's do this.

What's the plan, exactly?

[sighs]

I just said the plan is for you to follow me.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music]

[beeping]

[electricity crackling]

Oh, no, buddy!

Psst. Mr. Oz!

Hey, Mateo. You don't know how to juggle, do you?

Uh... what?

I mean... sure, I could show you if you do me a favor.

Ho-ho. Far out.

- [dark music] - [whimpers]

[whimpers]

[Logan] Oh, no... That's Dallas.

Let's go help him!

No. We need to stick with the plan.

Who cares about the plan?

We have to help Dallas!

And everyone else.

And if we let Dallas get captured,

maybe they'll lead us to the rest of them.

That's easy.

They take everyone to the Fear Works

at the Shadowkeep.

Gnarly place!

Maybe. But maybe there's a place we can cut them off before that.

And letting Dallas get captured has nothing to do

with getting back at him for Sheep Week?

Of course not.

Not entirely.

[Cooper gasps] Look!

[grimspawn screeching]

[whimpers, groans]

[low rumbling]

Now we can follow them.

- Zian, be our eyes in the sky. - [Zian chirping, squawks]

All of you, stay out of sight

and don't talk unless absolutely necessary.

[Izzie] I'll be quiet as a mouse.

[Zoey shushing]

[machines bleeping, whirring]

All right, little anomaly.

Time to find out what you're made of.

[cheeky sting]

Oz? What are you doing?

Where's the specimen?

Oh-ho. More importantly, what about my juggling lesson?

You!

- [Mateo yelps] - [groans]

[Mateo panting]

[door lock rattling]

You insubordinate little... [grunting]

You know I can track you!

I'll find you no matter where you go!

[tracker beeping]

[dark suspenseful music]

[Zian screeches]

Zoey! Are you sure this is a good plan?

[Izzie] What if Albert isn't even here?

[Dallas whimpering]

[intense eerie music]

[low growling]

Calm all y'all, calm down.

Help's on the way!

God, I hope help's on the way.

- See? I told you. - [Zian screeching]

Now you wait here.

I'll go down and spring Albert.

While those grimspawn are chasing me,

you all can get our classmates.

Wait... look at that!

[low growling]

- [grimspawns snickering] - [sneezes]

[Izzie] Mr. Sharkyjaw.

Houston, we have a problem.

Zoey, that airship is filled with grimspawn.

And if I'm saying we should rethink this,

- I mean, uh... - No!

I said I've got a plan!

You can't all run off doing whatever you want,

or nothing works.

Now wait for my signal!

[whistles]

[adventurous heroic music]

Hey, you could give me a bed or something!

- [clanging] - [growls]

[yelps]

[Zian screeching]

Well, if you're going to be like that,

then you deserve what you're about to get.

[Albert] Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!

[Albert cheers] Whoa!

[Dallas yelps]

They're taking the kids!

We should have listened to Logan!

That's what I'm always saying!

[both snickering]

[grimspawns snickering]

[Zian screeches]

[roars]

- [laughs] - [shouts]

- [grimspawns snickering] - [gasps]

Whoa, get your spitfire mitts off of me!

[Mr. Sharkyjaw roaring]

Was this part of your plan, Zoey?

[annoyed groan] See, this is why I roll solo.

Well, you're not "rolling solo."

What are we gonna do?

Let me think for a sec.

[heroic music]

Maybe we can help.

Teo! You got Z-Blob!

Mateo, what are you doing here?

You're supposed to be keeping Strick distracted.

The situation was... was fluid.

Hey! Just like your plan, Zoey.

Strick was zapping Z with electricity.

I couldn't just sit and watch.

Besides, now he can help.

Don't you get it?

Now Strick will come after us!

I had to improvise.

And it's not like you ordering us around

is playing out smoothly.

Sometimes, you've got to have faith in your team.

How can I?

When no one does what they're supposed to--

Wait! I got it!

I... it's pretty simple.

- [Cooper] Just jam in here... - Oh.

[Cooper] A little twist.

Nice work, Coop.

Too little, too late.

It's not too late.

This team walked into the heart of the grim realm

and rescued a member of our team before,

we can do it again.

Are you crazy?

You guys are the most reckless, unpredictable, impulsive--

I know. Sweet, isn't it?

No!

You're right. We are all those things.

You know why? Because we're a team!

[Mateo] Are we a good team because of all of those things?

No. We're a good team despite them.

I'm not sure that's actually--

The point is we're a team! Okay?

[sparkling]

[whirring]

Oh, yeah, baby!

Now we're talking.

Let's go save Albert and the others.

Zoey?

What? Don't give me that look.

[whirring]

[Strick] Oz! Can you hear me?

How's it going in there?

Hello! [giggles]

The acoustics in here are amazing.

Would you stop that

and climb through to the other side?

We have to get out of here so I can catch

those traitorous students of yours!

[beeping]

I see you.

[Mr. Oz yodels]

[annoyed groan]

[roaring]

[grimspawns snickering]

Uh, not good! Not good! Not good!

- [blasting] - [all screaming]

[intense suspenseful music]

[Cooper grunting]

Holy smokes, that was close!

[Logan] Where are we?

[grimspawns snickering]

Trapped! There are tons of grimspawn out there!

Grimspawn? Hmm...

Guys, I got an idea.

Are we gonna like it?

[grimspawn snickering]

[Izzie] No, we don't like it.

Not one bit!

Why am I the only one doing this?

Because we gotta find Albert and no one else here

could pull it off as well as you.

Well, that's true.

And I do feel scaringly adorable.

Uh... hey there.

[growls]

How about that Nightmare King, huh?

Don't you just love his... uh... nightmariness?

[grimspawn] Ha! I just said that to Frank

- in supply! - So, what now?

Well, she seems to be doing okay.

I think we wait for her signal.

Uh, did we choose a signal?

Sorry, eh, I mean...

Growl! [gasps]

Dang!

Gotcha.

- [snickers] - [clanging]

Hey!

[grunts]

[Night Hunter growls] You fools.

We only took this monkey to lure that green blob here.

And now you've shot him out of the sky.

Show me... the Dream Chasers.

What? Wait a minute.

That looks like...

[Logan] You know, your butt is kind of big.

[Mateo] Shut it, Logan!

[intense suspenseful music]

A little help here?

Look, how do you know you saw Izzie

and not another grimspawn?

Just come up here and help me check.

Oh, no, Mateo.

[Izzie] What do I do?

Psst. Jayden!

[groans] Stop! Please! Just stop.

You can have whatever you want.

No, Jayden! It's me, Izzie!

Izzie? Izzie, what are you doing?

I'm here to bust you all out!

Those are terrifying pajamas.

[giggles] Okay!

[Night Hunter] You! Quickly!

Get the others and search the ship.

Those Dream Chaser brats are down below deck.

I'll meet them down there.

[gasps, sighs]

[groans] Ow! It's you!

[grunts] They know we're here.

[Mateo] Then there's no point in hiding.

Let's bust these cages open and find Albert!

There's way too many kids here.

How can we rescue them all?

I have that covered!

But first, let's bust some cages.

[intense suspenseful music]

Come on, dude.

[grimspawn] Hey! Them brats is bustin' open the cages!

- Get them! - [roars]

[grimspawns screaming]

[Cooper] Well, so much for being stealthy.

[grunting]

[sparkling]

- [shouts] - [shrieks]

[kid] Oh! No, no, no, no, no.

[Mateo] Izzie! Go get Albert!

[intense suspenseful music]

Well, well, well.

We've got ourselves a jailbreak!

Nicely done, Isabel!

Let's vamoose.

Wait... what's that?

We gotta gettyup, Isabel!

That's my tooth.

Um, what?

When Mr. Sharkyjaw was my pillow,

he had a pocket for the tooth fairy.

I put my last baby tooth in there

the night before my mom...

The tooth fairy never came to take it.

Uh, Izzie, let's...

[yelps] Monkey vomit!

[grimspawns snickering]

All right, let's get them out of here.

[Albert and Izzie grunt]

[grimspawns snickering]

[Night Hunter] I must say,

it's impressive you've gotten this far.

But you were fools to break into my ship

without a means to escape.

You're right.

So we didn't.

[Zian screeching]

[Mateo] We've got a Zian up our sleeve!

- [Cooper] Yeah, Zoey! - [Logan] Yeah, Zoey!

[cheers]

Oh, you turkeys are in trouble now!

[Night Hunter] Oh, no!

[Night Hunter screams]

Need a hand?

I knew you'd come!

This was your plan?

Trusting Zoey would come fly everyone out?

I'll do what I can, but... Zian can't carry all of them.

That's not the plan.

- This is! - Our trackers?

Why would you bring those?

To make sure that we were being followed!

[Night Hunter grunts]

[heroic music]

[beeping]

I suspected the Nightmare King was invading kids' dreams again

but had no idea he'd grown so powerful.

Oz! Ready the grappling cannon!

- Wow! - Oz!

Well, I... Oh, come now.

Uh, yep. It's away!

[Mr. Oz whoops]

[grunts]

Albert, you old scoundrel.

You're a sight for sore eyes.

[Albert] Are you sure you're all right?

Never better.

[Night Hunter grunts]

[Mateo] Hang on to something.

[grunts]

[intense suspenseful music]

Come on! We gotta zip!

[heroic music]

Go on, if you dream it, you can do it.

[gulps]

[Night Hunter] Time to cut this short.

[kids screaming]

[screaming]

[grunts, groans]

[kids chuckling]

[chuckles]

Glad to have you back, Mr. Oz.

Okay, everybody, we're outta here.

[Night Hunter] Come on! [groans]

You know, for someone who keeps telling us

she's not a team player, you keep proving yourself wrong.

It wasn't exactly my finest hour.

[Izzie] It's like jazz.

Do you like jazz?

My dad loves jazz.

He says all those musicians are great at what they do,

but they also trust others to improvise,

and together, they make something amazing.

[Strick clears throat]

I can't say that I completely endorse the methodologies

of this particular branch of the Night Bureau.

[Strick] But I can't argue with your effectiveness either.

So you're not gonna close us down?

I should've listened to your warnings about the Nightmare King.

My superiors will have to take action now

and we're gonna need all the help we can get.

And... what about Z-Blob?

He performed exemplary service.

And there is precedent for making dream creatures

Agents of the Night Bureau.

What are you saying?

[soft music]

[Strick] As of now, Z-Blob is an official Dream Chaser.

However, dream creature agents must never be seen

in the Waking World.

This is your responsibility, Agent Garcia.

Ha! Yeah! [chuckles]

[groans] I want an ID badge

so bad right now!

[playful music]

[closing theme music]
