Arthur Spiderwick wrote about.

The book! Oh, my gosh!

Im sorry, master, lve failed!

Failed, failed, failed!

Your instructions were simple,

Protect the book.

And I did it, I hid it,

I bound it and I wound it.

I did my best, locked it in the chest!

But you looked and looked

and found the book!

And from the chest,

the thing was stolen!

You foolish boy!

Idiot! Are you blind?

I put a note right on the cover!

Idiot! Are you blind?

I put a note right on the cover!

Cant you read?

Why do I write notes

when no ones gonna read the notes?

Im sorry. Here! More honey!

No! Im not falling for that!

Oh, that is so good.

And they say lve got anger issues.

Protect the book. Dont let it get took!

Right, you had to protect the book.

Who told you to protect it?

-Wait! What did I say?

-Protect the book, protect the book.

It wasnt complicated.

I just had to protect the book. Thats all.

Arthur Spiderwick.

So he wrote it

and asked you to protect it.

I said, Master, we must destroy it!

He said, We must protect the book.

Keep it in the circle,

safe from the ogre.

Ogre? Do you mean Mulgarath?

All the years protecting it

now ruined by a little twit!

Circle, circle, little jerkle.

Little jerkle broke the circle!

Whoa! Stop! What circle?

Okay.

Look. Here, here.

So it protects the house

to protect the book.

-Safe from who?

-Them!

What? Whos them?

I dont see anything.

Tibbsy, come here, boy!

Breakfast time! Mr. Tibbs?

All right, what did you do

with Simons cat?

Theyre not here for the cat.

They want the book!

What is that? Whats out there?

Its goblins! Goblins are here.

And all because

you took the book out there

and practically waved it in their faces,

you little twerp!

Simon!

Go ahead!

Now look at the mess you made!

Simon! Theyre taking him away.

Whats happening?

Simon! Theyre taking him away.

Whats happening?

The Stone! The Stone!

Look through the Stone!

What the hell?

No! No!

-The book stays or we all die!

-I need it! Let go!

It must stay in the circle! In the circle!

Mom!

Mom!

-Mom! Wheres Mom?

-She went to work, okay? Im in charge.

Hey, where are you going?

Psycho.

Help me!

What are you doing? Help!

Help!

Give me, give me.

Give me a leg! Hey, give me!

Give me a leg! A leg!

Thats not a leg!

This is a leg! Imbeciles.

Oh, my God.

Simon.

Dont move.

Slowly lift your foot.

Then we must shake on our alliance.

What? Its good.

-Who are you?

-I am Hogsqueal.

And I am here on a mission

to destroy the ogre, Mulgarath,

who killed my family!

Can you help me save my brother?

Please?

Yeah! Sure!

I was gonna suggest that

right after you let me out of this cage.

-So, come on! Free me!

-Okay, okay.

Get it open. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good.

Now get behind me

and keep your mouth shut.

Okay, heres our plan.

I will find a safe position over there

and create a distraction with my stick.

Then you leap out with your knife

and finish the beast yourself.

I like that plan.

Thats a good plan. Im smart.

What beast?

The ogre, of course! Mulgarath!

-I just want to save my brother.

-Again with the brother?

Okay, fine. If we kill them,

saving him will be much easier.

Trust me. Now drop that stone.

Youll need both hands

to choke a goblin.

But how do I see without...

Nailed him!

I have given you the Sight,

a gift only a hobgoblin can bestow.

Oh, gross!

Youre welcome. Now, lets go.

-Simon!

-Jared.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Jared, whats happening?

Get me out of here.

Just hang on.

Im gonna cut you out.

-Jared!

-Get back.

Hide.

Jared!

Mulgarath!

Mulgarath!

Mulgarath!

Mulgarath!

Mulgarath!

-What are they doing?

-Summoning Mulgarath. Get ready.

Mulgarath! Mulgarath! Mulgarath!

Thats Mulgarath?

Thats the ogre

youre all freaked out about?

That old man?

Dont be fooled

by what you think you see.

Thats just what he wants.

I beg your forgiveness.

I asked my friends here

to invite you to a nice little meeting.

Then they got a bit overzealous.

Thats a goblin for you.

My apologies.

What do you want with me?

Its not what I want with you.

Its what I want from you.

Arthur Spiderwicks field guide.

I know you found it.

Thats right, you can simply

walk back the way you came.

Just give me the book.

I dont have it.

I dont. Look.

Search him!

What? If Mulgarath learns the secrets

in that book,

he could kill us all!

he could kill us all!

Hes weak in his human form.

Its now or never.

Come! Death to the ogre!

Bird!

Delicious! Come back here!

Ill be back! Kill him if you get a chance!

Remember the plan!

Ill be back! Kill him if you get a chance!

Remember the plan!

Move!

Pockets. Search the pockets.

The pockets! No, these!
