That's great. -Thank you.

I should come by for like

a private tour or something.

I love science.

Oh, well, I'm happy to hear that.

Please do.

I'm so sorry. Michael, this is Martin.

Martin, Michael.

- Hey, how are you.

Nice to meet you. -Hi.

Wow, that's a cool jacket.

Look at all those pockets.

A fella could hide

a lot in there, huh?

I'm sorry. Would you mind

excusing me for a moment?

- Sure.

- Okay, nice to see you.

Really good to see you. It's been so long.

It's great to see you.

- Bye.

- Okay, bye-bye, Michael.

- I'll see you.

- See you soon.

- Okay, dear.

- I'll come by for sure.

Okay, bye-bye.

What the heck are you doing?

I'm sorry I wasn't here, mom.

- Are you mad?

- No, sweetheart, I'm not mad.

That's what you get when you

send a boy to do a man's job.

No, no, that is not necessary.

I have this handled.

Have it handled?

Did you find it?

- No.

- Exactly.

It would have been

really nice for you to be here.

Okay, I'll see you at home, okay?

I've got a bit of work to do.

I feel so bad for letting

my mom down like that.

Well, we can use the last wish

to save the science museum.

But how?

We can't just wish

for a million bucks.

We'll figure something out.

Hey, somebody's been here!

We've been compromised.

- By who?

See you later, Dorkuses!

Who else? Seth.

Do you think he knows

about the wish box?

Well, after what happened

in the park today,

he's got to be

suspicious of something.

We should follow him

and find out what he knows.

What? The guy who nearly

beat us into oblivion?

You want to follow him?

And how is that a good idea?

Why did you call me here?

You can't keep ordering me

around like this.

I can do anything I want.

I own you.

Besides, I want you

to meet someone.

- Who?

- Your replacement.

Apparently, I did need

a boy to do a man's job.

Looks like a back alley business

meeting if I ever saw one.

Though I never have,

except in movies.

What's Martin doing here?

That's the guy I saw

talking to my mom.

Who is that guy?

I don't know, but I don't

like the looks of him.

- What are you gonna do? -You

never mind what I'm gonna do.

Beat it.

If you do anything to hurt her,

I swear I will...

If you don't want anything to happen to

her, then you better stay out of my way.

Get outta my way.

Get outta my way, man.

I'm tryin' to get to my car. Why are

you in my way? Still in my way.

Can you stop it, please?

Okay, this is weird.

First Seth, finds the clubhouse.

Then Martin is meeting with

Seth and some strange guy.

Something's going on.

One thing's for sure, we can't let

anybody get their hands on the wish box.

I've got an idea.

Ozzie, you down here?

Yeah, in the back.

Hi.

Ozzie, we need your help.

Sure, I'm at your service.

We need something from you.

Does this have anything to do at all

with what we talked about the other day?

Yes.

I'm sorry. We should

have listened to you.

But you have to trust us, Ozzie.

We promise we'll make it right.

- Promise?

- -Promise.

- Cross your heart?

- -Cross our hearts.

Double, double,

double pinky swear?

Double, double,

double pinky swear.

I'm in. What can I do for ya?

Thanks, Ozzie.

And I'd also like

to make a purchase.

Everything okay, guys?

- Yep.

- Yeah?

You gonna be all right

if I leave you tonight?

I've got to go back to the science

museum to finish some stuff up

for the fundraiser tomorrow.

- We'll be fine.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Ricky?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

All right. Clean up when you're finished,

okay, sweetie? I'll see you later.

- Okay. Bye, mom.

- Bye.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Bye.

How was work today?

Work was fine.

Work was... fine.

You didn't happen to be

downtown, did you?

As a matter of fact, I was.

Yeah, I had a meeting with a guy who's

thinking about selling his house.

Why?

No reason.

Smart kid.

- Hey, what's going on?

- We need to talk.

Okay. About anything

in particular?

I need to tell you that...

Martin, it's okay.

What is it?

I just... I wanted to tell you

how much I... care about you.

Oh, good.

Good. I care about you, too.

Okay, great.

Are you okay? You've been

acting a little funny lately.

Yeah, no, I'm...

I'm fine. I'm totally fine.

Okay, good. You're so sweet.

I'll see ya tonight.

- Okay. Great.

- Okay, bye.

- All right.

- You're funny.

See ya.

Hey, Jane.

Say "science."

Science. Michael!

You scared me.

- I'm sorry. I know.

- What are you doing here?

Well, I came because of the tour

that you promised me.

Oh no, Michael, look, we're

actually just about to close.

That is so awesome!

We have the place to ourselves.

That's great.

He fell for it.

Let's meet at the clubhouse.

Copy, on my way.

Copy, see you there.

I'm sorry, Mike, but I really think it'd

be better if you came back tomorrow.

Oh, I can't come back tomorrow.

Tonight's the only night I can do this.

Everything okay here,

miss young?

Hold on a second.

Do me a favor. Take one.

Oh, goodness.

All right.

That's... you're kidding me.

You got two pairs of handcuffs.

That is awesome. And a taser.

That is just...

It's like Christmas for me.

Oh, I'm so happy,

Michael. It's...

You'll understand

that soon enough.

Martin's in on it.

I saw him take the bag.

Oh, Ricky, I'm so sorry.

We've got to use the last wish to save

the science museum before it's too late.

It's already too late.

It's my duty to serve and protect

this institution and I have...

Don't beat yourself up.

You can't win every game.

Now look... yeah, I'm gonna

borrow that, all right?

Thanks.

Is it true that you have

a gyrosphere here?

Let's go see it.

Don't go away.

I guess this proves you losers aren't

much of an adventure club after all.

Seth, don't do this.

You're not one of the bad guys.

Who said I was?

I'm sorry we never

included you in our club.

I never wanted to be

a part of your stupid club.

Yes, you did.

And we didn't include you,

so for that, I'm sorry.

I don't care.

Take care of their bikes.

Forget it.

Let's just go on foot.

No, wait. I've got an idea.

Langley, what are you doing?

Well, I can't tie you to the train tracks.

They're clear across town.

And the hero enters

riding on his hipster jeans.

Okay, Langley, you win. You take

this and get the heck outta here.

You two know each other?

Oh, yeah, we go way back.

You wanna explain?

- Martin, what is going on?

- Yeah, Martin, what's going on?

Why don't you explain it to her?

'Cause I'm too busy

destroying the fake wish box.

Really? You think I'm that stupid

to fall for that silly trick?

And here I thought you had

such potential as a criminal.

Criminal?

I'm sorry.

I tried to tell you.

What, so was

everything just a lie?

No, no, not everything. I promise you.

You're never gonna get away with this.

What do you mean?

I already have.

What do you think

my first wish is?

- What?

- To get away with it.

Criminal genius.

It's kinda my jam.

But you don't even

have the real wish box.
