going to able to stop him.

We'd better stay out of sight.

Oh, you can hide.

But you won't get away.

It's futile to hide from me.

You got nowhere to go.

Come on. Come on!

No more fooling around.

You're trapped now.

They say a cat has nine lives.

Why don't we see if it's true?

Here, kitty, kitty.

Here, little kitty, kitty, kitty.

Peek-a-boo!

You are history.

Oh.

Well, then, no more allergy.

No more sneezing.

Where'd you all come from?

My gun! Give me... No, come here.

I am gonna kick your little gear

butts like there's no tomorrow.

Oh!

How many of you guys are there?

No, no, no, no. No!

Now, that is exactly

what the doctor ordered.

Let's try one more time.

- Yes?

- Daniel? What's going on?

Uncle Lawrence. No, I don't

have time to talk right now.

Why on earth are you sending

me to a retirement home?

- What's all that noise?

- I can't hear you.

Call me back in an hour,

I should be done with the house!

What's going on, Mr Lawrence?

I can't wait to be

discharged tomorrow.

There's no time to lose!

Mr Lawrence, please return

to your room at once.

Nurse Baxter, I need to

get back to my house.

- Not until the doctor says so.

- But you don't understand.

I need to go home now.

Not until you get discharged.

Mr Lawrence,

we'll get you a ride back.

What did you say?

- I know everybody around here.

- We'll help you.

What have we here? Where's the cat?

They're doing their

freeze thing again.

- That can only mean one thing.

- The cat must be a goner.

What's going on?

You need to get out of there, quick!

There's a big trouble on the way!

Oh, no! The nephew's back

with a nasty-looking machine.

The situation is getting

totally out of control.

We've got to stop him now.

No time to waste.

This house is history!

Come on!

Excuse me, but don't

you think you should...

Dylan? Izzy?

We've got it under control,

Mr Lawrence.

But you can't...

I mean, you're only...

We're almost there.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

How does this stupid

contraption work?

- Wait, Jack, I'm not sure that's...

- We have no choice!

I'm going for it.

Oh, dear.

Come on, you stupid gears.

Why couldn't they make

these things automatic?

Oh, no! It appears I'm a bit too

stout in the girth to make it through.

Oh, I knew it. Okay,

let me see what I can do.

Suck it in, Jack.

Oh! My leg!

Sorry, Jack.

Oh!

Okay. Now we're talking.

I figured that out.

No, no, no, no!

Okay. One, two...

Hold on, Jack, I'll get help.

Maggie?

Don't want to mess with the car.

No. No, no, no, no.

I need your help. Jack is stuck.

There's nothing you

can do for Thunder.

Just standing there

won't bring him back.

Thunder.

You're... You're alive.

What just happened?

Look, I'm really sorry for...

You saved me.

Is everyone safe?

No, the trap door is blocked.

Come with me and be careful.

All right! I'm starting

to get the knack of this.

Oh, no. Not that

old pain in the neck.

Daniel! What are you doing?

What does it look like I'm doing?

Come down from there right

now before someone gets hurt.

Just stay out of the way

and no one will get hurt.

You can't destroy my house.

You have no right.

- Yes, I do. Remember this?

- What? You tricked me.

Daniel, please stop it.

You can't do that to them.

I can and I want to.

No, no, no! What is up

with these stupid birds?

- Look!

- It's Thunder.

He's helping the others get out.

It's you! I thought I

took care of you already!

Dylan, Izzy, we need to back off.

He's gone totally mad.

Daniel, just stop it!

Come on. Let's go.

Thunder, wait.

We can't jump that far.

Gunther, help them get across.

Oh, but be careful!

The ball!

- I got him.

- Good catch, Dylan.

Stay here.

Is he crazy?

Don't worry, I have a plan.

Thunder!

I can't believe it!

I'll show you who's in charge.

Take this, if you can.

Mr Lawrence, can't you use

magic and make him stop?

My magic isn't strong

enough for this.

He's definitely going

to kill Thunder.

Twiggoo, take me down.

- Maggie!

- Oh, no!

Hang on, Maggie.

That's-a my big guy.

A mouse! Get out of here!

Gotcha!

All right, Thunder!

Huh? Where is he?

No!

No, no!

My car.

Shame on you! Treating defenceless

little animals like that.

Defenceless? Stop it!

I should let you sneeze to death for

the mess you've made of things.

Please, Uncle Lawrence.

Please help me.

I can't take it! I'm going

to pass out from all this.

I suppose that wouldn't

be a good thing.

We wouldn't want anything

bad to happen to you.

You've got a lot of

repair work to do.

I think it best if we get him

over to the emergency room now.

- We'll take him.

- No, no.

You two have done enough

driving for a while.

Let's call 911.

Thunder?

Oh. Hi, Maggie.

I just wanted to thank you

for saving me back there

and well, you know, apologise

for treating you the way I did.

I understand. You guys have

been together for a long time.

No! We... I was wrong.

But you made it right.

You helped me save the house.

We're a great team.

Huh? Oh. You're right.

It looks like we still have

some unfinished business.

Let's get them off the roof.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Hello? A bit of a hand over here

would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone?

Abracadabra!

Presto!

It doesn't get any better than this.

Indeed, indeed.

It's great to have Lawrence back.

Hey, gato!

Word on the street is that you guys

put on one crazy good show!

Hey, I thought this

place freaked you out.

Ghosts, big-toothed were-rabbit

and an evil mouse, remember?

Well, I suppose I do get a

bit carried away sometimes,

especially when I'm excited.

Anyway, you wouldn't

by any chance have room

for someone else, namely me,

in your little act, would you?

You're a trained actor?

Am I an actor? I'm the

Marlon Brando of chihuahuas!

I can roll over, play dead,

look cool, but I don't fetch.

I ain't no retriever.

So what do ya say?

I can fit in, do what you want.

I can play whatever you need,

I'm the man.

Hey, guys! We're on next! Come on!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on, man.

So, then, I take that as a yes?

Let's give a big round of applause

to Jack, Maggie and Thunder!

Oh! You must be the

real estate agent.

Sorry I'm a bit late.

Quite the quaint abode you have.

Yes, but now that I'm alone,

this place is just too big for me.

I'm going to a nice retirement home.

So, how much cash you think

I could get for the place?

Let's have a look inside and

I'll give you my best estimate.

Oh, no.

That's it. I need to find

another line of work!
