Locke & Key

Any sign of them?

No, sir.

Where to now?

Quiet.

What is that?

What in God's name?

What is this?

They must have gone this way.

Captain.

They found us.

Then we make our stand here.

They couldn't have gotten very far.

What are we witnessing?

Duck!

Howe! Get down!

Yah!

What exactly does it look like?

It looks like lead.

It's very rare in this world, so start searching.

- Lead? - Yeah.

Like gray rocks?

Mm-hmm.

Gray rocks. Gray rocks.

If only I could find some gray rocks.

You ever think that if the bullet that shot out of that door

went another inch to the left and didn't hit Eden,

you'd be nothing more than a glob of metal on the ground?

Yeah, well, it didn't miss.

Hey, what are you doing in here? These caverns, they flood at high tide.

No one's allowed in here.

Well, this is super annoying. What are you guys even doing here?

Shouldn't you be out saving ships or something?

What the hell is that?

Stop right now and put your hands up.

If you say so.

Can I borrow the Head Key?

Yeah, do you have the Mending Key? Need it to fix my dress for the premiere.

There you go. Mmm.

Are you nervous?

Honestly, I'm totally fine.

"About starring in the low-budget movie where the villain is a giant lobster."

That's one plus of taking the fear out of your head.

Just to clarify, it's not a low-budget movie.

It's a zero-budget movie.

And the lobster, he's not really the villain.

He's more misunderstood.

My bad.

- You're coming, right? - Are you kidding?

I wouldn't miss it for anything.

Bode, is that you?

Bode?

Bode, what... what are you...

Somebody got it in here...

...so it's got to be possible to get it out.

How... How are you...

I... I don't...

I found a new key, Mom.

I'm calling it the Hercules Key because it makes you super strong.

You found a key? I...

I wish that you could remember magic. It'd be so much easier.

Remember what?

What are you doing up here?

Moving stuff to help fix up Duncan's room.

Well, that's really nice of you.

You know, I think he's really excited to be staying with us.

Hey, how'd you move that couch?

Did Tyler help you?

I sorta did it myself.

Wow, my little man.

You're getting so strong!

Hey, that's a cool belt.

- Did you find that in one of the boxes? - I found it in one of the other rooms.

All right. Well, don't forget,

Duncan and Brian are coming for dinner tonight.

Hey, throw me the line!

Were you trying to sneak up on me?

Maybe!

Well, just so you know, that costume is very noticeable.

- Oh. - And it also makes a weird chafing sound.

That chafing is actually not just a sound.

How's it going?

It's pretty binary, honestly.

People see the costume and either wanna come to the screening

or, you know, not so much.

But I have an idea.

Yeah?

I was thinking we should work the street together.

Misunderstood lobster,

an eco-warrior slash beautiful heroine, hand in hand. I think it'd work.

Excuse me. What's this all about?

Oh my God, it's working.

Um, good afternoon.

We are having the world premiere screening of our movie, The Splattering,

at the Strand Theater in Matheson.

Oh, this isn't a new lobster restaurant?

No, no, it's a movie.

Maybe we'll check it out.

Okay!

I don't think they're coming.

- Let's get ice cream. - Sure. Yeah.

They've got a community board where we can put up fliers.

- Yeah. - We can say hi to Scot.

Oh, Scot quit.

Yeah, he got, you know, pretty busy finishing the movie,

and he needed more time to work on it.

Oh, okay.

Well, I'll just put up flyers in here anyway.

I'll be right back.

Okay, so based on talking to my counselor,

these are "likelies," these are "less likelies,"

and these are "I wish" schools that I'll probably never get into.

You're smart. You're organized.

You're a good student. What college wouldn't want you?

We should talk about this. How far we're gonna be from each other.

What are you thinking?

Let's go out and enjoy the day. Let's go for a walk by the lighthouse.

- Mmm, I can't. - Come on.

I still have to do half my summer reading, and school's only a week away.

Right. And the idea that you are gonna spend it inside reading books

is completely ridiculous.

I could read outside.

I've got a better idea.

Okay.

Voilà! Summer reading, done.

You're supposed to enjoy the process of reading.

You totally did. It was just a really fast process.

The most important thing is that now we actually get to hang out

and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Plus, isn't... isn't it someone's 18th birthday coming up in a few weeks?

Mm-hmm.

- We gotta do something epic to celebrate. - Epic?

- Mmm. - Well, that's a high bar.

Let me worry about that.

Hey, Daniel.

Hey, brought you some tomatoes from my garden.

Oh, they're so nice.

Come on in.

Can you get the door?

So I wanna catch up on the Ellie situation.

Is there something new?

Well, yes and no.

So when you have something like a missing person or a murder,

the hard truth is there is this short window of time

when you have your best shot at solving the crime.

After that, your chances at solving that case,

well, they go down exponentially.

We're kinda right there with Ellie's case right now.

It's been three months.

We have no fresh leads.

We're reclassifying it as a cold case.

If anything new comes up, we'll jump on it.

But otherwise, there's nothing we can do.

Do you make some sort of declaration?

Not right away.

After five years, she'll be officially declared dead.

Daniel.

I know you did everything you could do.

This one hurts.

I'm sorry.

Hey, have you been in contact with Rufus? How's he doing?

Bode talks to him.

He's still in Nebraska with his aunt and uncle.

He seems to be doing well, all things considered.

Well,

that's good, at least.

Oh.

Crap.

What is all this stuff?

Boring.

Whoa!

Lock the door.

What is this supposed to do?

Now we just need a place to operate.

Holy shit.

This was just sitting here?

Over there, behind the boxes.

At some point, there was a gigantic rat living here.

A rat? Really?

Have you ever seen a rat that big?

No, but last year, we had a rat skull in my classroom,

and it looked exactly like this.

- It's not likely. - Really?

Is it any less likely

than moving into a house filled with magical keys?

All right. Um, I have a plan.

Good.

What?

So we're gonna get a huge wheel of cheese, and then we're gonna build a giant trap.

- This is not funny. I'm serious! - Really big.

What is this giant rat thing? Where are all the missing keys?

- What happened to Ellie? - Hey, what's gotten into you, bud?

Just because we figured out a few of the keys,

we think we know everything, but there's so much more we don't know.

You're right. We don't know everything, but... but we know that Dodge is gone.

Whatever else, we'll figure it out. Okay?

And, hey, this thing clearly died a long time ago,

so let's not put it at the top of our list of worries.

Okay, fine, but it still should be on the list.

What have you been up to, Kinsey?

She hardly ever gets out of her own head.
