Nexo Knights (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Knights' Code - full transcript

Jestro finds the Book of Chaos in the countryside and decides he must feed it to the Book. The Book of Monsters actually tells Jestro not to feed it to him; he tells Jestro he's not ready for that kind of power. But Jestro doesn't listen. Now the Book unleashes chaotic monsters and Jestro uses them to attack the King and his party who are on a business-related tour of the kingdom. When the NEXO-Knights show up to stop the monster attacks and realize that they must save King and Queen Halbert - Macy's parents - from the chaotic evil monsters that have been unleashed. Clay asserts himself as leader and brings order to the knights from the chaos. He has his own book: the Book of the Knight's Code. They should all live by it.

Here's the latest
from the Knight News Network.

Jestro and his monsters

attacked the water supply
of the Realm.

How will the Nexo Knights
get there and stop them?

In their amazing
new rolling castle:

The Fortrex,

which includes Merlok 2.0's
Nexo Power.

Is this what the Knights need
to stop Jestro?

I'm Herb Herbertson,
and this is Nexo Knights.

[YAWNING]

Why'd you wake me up?

You wanna be evil?
Getting up early is evil, right?

Besides, you're supposed
to be dreaming

of conquering this land,
joke-boy.

[SNIFFING]



Hey, another book.

Hang a right.

No, dummy,
your other right.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Why'd you change
direction?

[GROANS]

Oh.

There, in that ruin,
is another evil book.

[LAUGHING]
I'm so hungry.

Let's hurry up
and find it.

I used to think
books were boring.

Not anymore.

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[THUNDER CRASHES]
[SCREAMS]

Whoa!

[♪♪♪]

JESTRO:
What is this chaos?

You gotta go
shut that book.

[GRUNTS]

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

[ALL CHEER]

[TEETH CHATTERING]

[COUGHS]

Whoa, the Book of Chaos.

Oh, an excellent find.

I can make
chaos monsters?

Sounds great.
Eat it, book.

[SPITS]

Not so fast, J-Pop.

I mean, this is a good book.
An evil book.

But you're not strong enough
to control chaos monsters.

Hmm! Shut your face, book.

You're the one who's always
telling me I gotta be bad.

So eat!

Hey!
Eat it!

[CHOMPING]

[BURPS]

Okay, stand back.

[BELCHES]

JESTRO:
Check it out.

Chaos Monsters.

Okay, time to line up
and obey your master.

[ALL SCREAM]

Eh, I don't want to say
I told you so,

but come here.

Closer.

I told you so!

I mean, who could have
predicted that?

Oh, that's right.

Me, that's who.

Ha! I don't need you.

I can clean up
my own mess.

Uh, what should
I do first?

Don't need me, huh?

Fine. Page 37.

Summon him.

He'll be able
to control them.

I summon you,
O great Beastmaster,

to help me go
and herd disaster.

Ah-ha!

[SNICKERS]

What is your bidding?

Oh, hey, Beastmaster.

Oh, do your little
Globlins bite?

No.
[SCREAMS]

I thought you said
he wouldn't bite.

He's not mine.
I'm pet-sitting.

What is your bidding,
master?

Get those monsters
under control.

And then build me a great,
rolling, evil fort.

I'm not gonna let those goody
knights have all the cool stuff.

[♪♪♪]

I love showing off
our amazing kingdom.

And you are the best
spokesperson

we could have, dear.

[CHUCKLES]
Aww.

I'm hoping these visiting
dignitaries

will want to invest here.

Oh, my protocol
Squirebot.

Haute Fancypants
at your service, Sire.

It is my fervent hope
to serve you

and your important guests'
every whim.

Reporters for
the Knight News Network.

Lord Jorah Tightwad,

owner of
the Gold Factory chain.

Ah!

Nice little kingdom,
Halberd.

I might put
a Gold Factory here

with a little governmental
assistance?

Nudge-nudge, wink-wink,
know what I mean?

Incentives.

Nudge-winky-wink.

Of course.

Roger the Scrubber,
owner of Scrubbery Barn.

Hello.

I've taken the liberty

of putting all
communication devices

in carriage mode, so you won't
be interrupted, sire.

Very good.

[WHIMPERING]

Now, let's get started on the
tour of this marvelous kingdom.

[PANTING]

[YELPS]

Sorry, Clay.

Team coordination drills
started two minutes ago.

Yeah, I know.

Where are the others?

Axl, a beautiful
soufflé.

Huh?
Oh, shh, shh, shh!

No loud noises,
or it may fall.

[GROANS]

Late for drills, Axl.

What do you have to say
for yourself?

You made my soufflé fall!

BOTH:
Aah!

[DISH SHATTERS]

Hmm, needs more sugar.

[WAILS]

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

[YELLING]

Whoo!

Hey, guys,
what's the rush?

[SIGHS]

[GROANS AND STRAINS]

Why?

He ruined my soufflé.

Yeah, makes sense.

None of this would happen

if you guys would just think
of the team before yourselves.

Hmm, speaking of which,
where's Lance?

[SLURPS]

Lance, what are you doing?

Enjoying my
Lance-Tastic soda.

The soda of everyone great.

Want some?
No.

It's time for team practice.

I'm sorry, what was that?

I said, it's time for--
[SLURPS]

Time for team combat practice.

[SLURPING]

Practice!

Soda of greatness,
Princess?

Attack.

[ALL GRUNT]

Defend.

Again.
[ALL YELL]

Where do you get off
deciding when we train?

Who made you the boss?

Well, you can't
lead the team.

You have no work ethic.

I'm a Richmond.

I employ people to have
work ethics for me.

And, unlike you, I don't need
to boss anyone around.

Out!

Hey, where do you keep
that book?

Know what? Never mind.
I don't want to know.

[SNIFFS]

It smells like ham.

It smells like order.

This is the Knight's Code,

given to me
at the Knights Academy

by Sir Griffiths.

I live by its values:

Hard work. Order.
Honesty. Justice. Teamwork.

ALL:
Huh?

AVA:
Uh, sorry to interrupt,

but you can live
by the values later.

There's trouble
in the countryside,

so we need to roll.

I'm almost done
with your new interface.

And you're doing
a wonderful job, Ava.

A little to the left.

[CHUCKLES]

Don't mention it.
Seriously, ever.

[ALL GASP]

We've had reports of monsters
wreaking havoc,

headed for the burgh
of Aeroskooten.

The king and queen are giving
a tour of the countryside

to a business
delegation today.

So you must
protect their group.

Protect the king.

[ENGINE STARTS]

It's a good thing
we have a rolling fortress

and Jestro doesn't.

[LAUGHING]

[ROARING]

Yes, “Evilmobile”
is a good name,

but this is not
what I wanted!

Faster.

That's what you get,
genius,

for having chaos monsters
build the thing.

It's a chaotic mess.

And I want credit for
naming it the “Evilmobile.”

You want credit
for everything.

[GASPS]
Ah-ha.

The perfect spot
for an ambush.

The Holo Memorial Bridge
of King Pike IX.

Such a beautiful view,
don't you think?

Sturdy, stable, reliable.

Come on, everyone.
Jump.

[HALBERD GRUNTING]
[LAUGHS]

JORAH:
Hey, it's very ordinary.

[ALL CHATTERING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Your Highness,
something's wrong.

Nonsense, Fancypants.

Nothing can be wrong
on this beautiful day.

Yes, sire.

Let's all cross the bridge now.

[ALL CHEERING]

Well, that's not good.

We need to find
another route, pronto.

I've attempted to call
the king's party,

but communications
are out.

Those monsters
that destroyed the bridge

have reached
the other side.

And if they catch
the king's tour party...

That would be bad,
right?

Yes!

Mom, Dad.

[GLOBLINS CHATTERING]

We have to warn
my parents.

Like right now.

We could send them a signal
to let them know

monsters are behind them.

Right. We catapult
some squirebots.

Oh, catapult me.

On my board.

MACY: Hmm.
LANCE: You'd never make it.

He could if I added a custom
rocket boost to his shield.

Ha-ha, I like the way
you think, Robin.

Aaron, wait.
We need a plan.

No time, Claymate.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoa!

[LAUGHING]
Yeah!

Look at all this fantastic
open land where one could build,

say, a gold factory.

AARON:
Yo, King, Jestro's coming
with lots of monsters!

My Liege,
a knight in the sky.

Yes. Yes, the night sky here
is beautiful.

When the sun goes down,
such stars.

And the moon at times.

[GROANING]

Faster, monsters, faster.

Make the Evilmobile
go faster.

We're gaining
on King Halberd.

We could head him off
at the pass.

Hmm. We could head him off
at the pass.

You know what I hate
about this part of the country?

The echo.

[GROWLING]
Faster.

Faster!

[GASPS]

Get me close enough
to take over that train.

[LAUGHS]

Jestro's built his own rolling
fort, and we don't have Aaron.

So stick together.
Stick to the plan.

Right. Stick it.

See you!

Lance, what are you doing?

[LANCE YELLS]

[♪♪♪]

[ALL CHATTERING
AND SHOUTING]

Whoa! Whoa!

Huh?

Gotcha.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[GROWLS]

Huh?

[GASPS]

Everyone, look.

It's an amazing,
state-of-the-art...

farmer.

JORAH:
It's very ordinary.

Aye.

Why?

[GRUNTING]

Whoa.

Do they even know
they're in danger?

Didn't Aaron warn them?

[SLURPS]

AXL:
That's not important now.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Not important?
Why not?

Because of that guy.

[JESTRO LAUGHING]

Oh, oh, look.

It's a duck.

ALL:
Oh.

Wait, a duck?

Why are we--?

Just keep looking!

Aah!
[ENGINE REVS]

[AARON YELLS]

[AXL SCREAMS]

[GROANS]

What is wrong
with you guys?

Look, we need
to work as a team.

Axl did his part, but Lance,
you went off on your own.

And Macy, you lose focus
because you're upset.

And Aaron,
where have you been?

You know, you'd think a rocket
on a hover shield

is a cool idea,

but really
not so much.

Okay, here's the battle plan.

Oh, not that book again.

Clay is right.

You cannot defeat chaos
with chaos.

You need order.

And your order
must be more orderly

than their chaos
is chaotic.

However, Clay,
you cannot force something

as powerful as
the Knight's Code on someone.

They must accept it
of their own freewill.

Yeah, okay, fine.

My way hasn't worked
so far today anyway.

I know,
I'm surprised too.

CLAY:
Ava, let's go to step one
of my plan.

And that is how we know
the Earth to be banana-shaped.

[JESTRO LAUGHING]

I've never heard of anything
so ridiculous.

The Earth is shaped
like a chocolate doughnut.

[ALL GASP]

Jestro? What do you think
you're doing?

Oh, I think I'm taking over
this realm.

And I think I'm demanding
that you surrender to me,

or I will plunge the country
into chaos

with my Chaos Monsters.

[LAUGHS]

I'm so proud
of my little maniac.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Get ready for Nexo Scan.

Oh, for the love of...

Monsters!

You were doing so well.

[LOUD, INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[BEEPING]

It's about time.

Attack!

Merlok. Nexo Knights.

MERLOK 2.0:
Nexo Power.

Order of the Knight's Code.

[♪♪♪]

Knights.
Burberry maneuver. Go!

Gotcha.

[ALL GASP]

That's not fair.
I wanna play too.

Huh?

Now, Lance.

[LAUGHS]

You missed.

[SCREAMS]

Destroy those
meddling knights.

Hey, get back here.
Stop ignoring me.

I told you you weren't ready
to control Chaos Monsters.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS AND YELLS]

Aah!

AXL:
Hey, Cyclops.

Protect the king.
Protect the queen.

Now, Jestro, I say again,
I will never surrender to you.

Uh...huh?

JESTRO:
Faster, monsters, faster.

“Oh, I can control
the chaos monsters,” he says.

“No.” I says, “You can't.”

Then guess what happens?

I know what I said already.
Will you just let it go?

Uh, no.

You had the king
and his kingdom

in the palm of you hand,
and you choked.

It's kids like you
that give evil a bad name.

Me? We do everything by
the book, and I am sick of it.

Time for me to really engage
my badness just to shut you up.

Turn him around.

No. I want to glare at him.

Turn me around again.

JESTRO:
Well, I don't want to see him.
Turn him around.

BOOK OF MONSTERS:
That ain't gonna happen.

[INDISTINCT ARGUING]

Splendid work, knights.

All's well that ends well,
don't you all think?

Are you kidding?

This kingdom is chaos.

I could never trust the safety
of my gold factories here.

Gold factory?

[LAUGHS]

Gold is mined
from the ground.

What exactly
does your company do,

buy gold jewelry cheaply
and sell it back to people

at a huge profit?

Ha! I am outraged
by that accusation!

Good day to you.

Ooh, gift bags.

Ha!

[SIGHS]

Well, so much for attracting
investors to kingdom.

Wait. I've seen everything
today, and I am impressed.

Your people
understand teamwork,

like your knights
demonstrated.

I'd like to put
a huge scrubbery barn here.

Oh.

Fancypants!

Monsters roaming
about the kingdom?

You should've mentioned it,
my good man.

Your Majesty,
I tried to do that 142 times!

Oh, so you did.
Never mind.

Now then, Roger,
let's talk business.

Clay, I'm really sorry.

When I scanned the Knight's Code
into Merlok's operating system,

the book kind of fell apart.

LANCE:
Hey, Gloomy.

We heard your book
got damaged in the battle.

The Knight's Code?
All digital.

For you.

Now tell him
the other thing.

Fine. You did kind of give us
the winning edge

in beating those
chaos monsters.

And you might just become
a pretty good leader after all.

Thanks, Lance.
I appreciate it.

[CHUCKLES]
Are you gonna let go?

After you.
After you.

No, after you.

I insist, after you.

No, no, Lance.
After you.

No, no. It's your big day.
That's okay.

CLAY:
No, you should really go first.

LANCE:
No, come on, you're going to be
the leader after all.

CLAY: After you.
LANCE [LAUGHING] No, no, no...

[♪♪♪]
