The Spiderwick Chronicles Page #5

Where are you?

Youve got to come here right now.

Theres all this crazy...

All this weird stuffs been happening.

Bad stuff, real bad.

And you, you said

you were gonna come get me.

So where are you?

Hes not coming, is he?

Hes with someone else.

Hes moved in with her.

Hes not getting back with Mom.

Hes not.

Mom wanted him to tell you himself.

Shes been waiting for him to do that.

Its okay, Tibbsy. Its okay.

Oh, God, theyre coming.

Jared, what do we do now?

Lucinda said our only chance

is to take the book to Arthur Spiderwick

and have him destroy it.

What?

We dont even know if hes alive,

let alone how to find him.

-What? What are you looking for?

-He had a pet.

A pet?

And Fluffy the dog is gonna save us?

It wasnt a dog. It was this, a griffin.

When I call upon him

in the native tongue of the tree elf

with whom he dwells,

he comes to my assistance.

See? His pet can find him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Summon a griffin in native tree elf

to find a 1 25-year-old man

who may or may not be alive?

Thats our plan?

And you know how to summon

a griffin in native tree elf?

Of course.

Is that it?

Did it work?

I guess not.

Whoa! That sounds like a big one.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Jared! Jared!

-Simon, be careful!

Yes, yes, yes! Find Arthur Spiderwick.

Bring him the book.

Theres your ride. Off you go.

Go, go, go!

What? You want us to ride that beast?

Hes not a beast. Hes a bird.

Hes a big-boned bird!

Theres no way we can possibly...

Its okay. Calm down. Its okay.

Cool pet.

Hurry up! What are you waiting for?

Get on him!

My God, its him.

Arthur Spiderwick.

Hes alive.

Whoa.

-How are we gonna get home?

-Arthur Spiderwick?

Thank God we found you.

You dont even know

what weve been through.

-lm sorry. Do I know you?

-Not really.

Lucinda, your daughter,

our great-aunt, she sent us.

Lucy? Shes only 6-and-a-half years old.

No. No, shes 86-and-a-half.

Well, thats nonsense.

I was with her only this morning.

Or was that yesterday?

No, that was 80 years ago!

Listen, you gotta believe me.

Youre my great-great-uncle.

Help me out, guys.

Guys?

Whats happening?

Whats the matter with them?

The sylphs.

Their songs must have altered

my perception of time.

That is what they do.

Lucys an old woman now, you say?

That must mean that my wife is...

Oh, my God, what have I done?

Look, lm sorry about all that, really.

But you gotta help us. I found your book.

The field guide? No!

No, not here. Not now.

Dont listen to them.

Follow me.

Here! Under here!

Quickly, while theyre distracted.

The book, give me the book.

Oh, the field guide.

The field guide.

You should never have read this.

You should not have brought this

outside the circle.

I know. I know, but I brought it to you

so you could destroy it.

Destroy it?

No. Are you mad?

I have uncovered all of their secrets.

And this book is my validation.

This book is my life.

Youre 1 25 years old! Your life is over!

And your daughter

spent her life without a father,

all because of that book.

I never imagined

that the things ld learned

could possibly have led to this.

Look, I know stuff I wish I didnt, too,

but theres nothing I can do about that.

One thing I know for sure

is that you gotta destroy that book.

-Whats this?

-What?

-Whats wrong?

-Wheres my book?

-What is this?

-Thimbletack, he switched the pages.

But the real book

is still inside the circle. Its safe.

-No, Mulgarath got pages.

-What?

-Hell break the circle as soon as...

-As soon as the moon rises, I know.

Thats when Mom will be getting home.

I gotta get back.

No! They wont let you leave.

Theyll keep you here for

the same reason theyre keeping me.

We know too much.

Then what are we gonna do?

Please, youve gotta help us!

If lm as old as you say I am,

lm useless outside this glade.

The last thing I said to my mom was,

l hate you.

Listen, son.

The boy who had the tenacity

to find me,

doesnt need my help.

Now, Mulgarath wants the power

that comes with knowledge.

You have that knowledge.

You are the book now.

And you have to get out of here. Now.

Yes!

I think I can distract them.

On my signal,

run to your brother and sister.

Youll only have a few moments

to escape.

-But...

-Await my signal.

But...

Here! Here! I have the field guide!

Do you want it? Yes, here!

Come take it!

You can keep it safe right here!

Now!

Yes, Byron! Yes!

Get them home safely!

Come on, snap out of it! Come on!

Oh, shoot!

They started spreading the potion.

Oh, shoot!

They started spreading the potion.

Oh, no. Theres Mom.

-Mom! No! Turn around!

-Go away, Mom!

Stop the car!

What?

-Mom, move over!

-What are you doing?

Mallory, you drive!

Get the car inside the circle!

-Go, go!

-Youre not driving this car!

Stop it! Mal, stop!

Thank God.

Will someone please tell me

whats going on?

-Jared, what do we do now?

-Protect the house.

-Simon, the sage in the planter boxes.

-I know, I know.

-Hang them in the windows!

-lm on it.

Mal, go upstairs

and get all of Lucindas salt.

-All of it?

-All of it!

-Okay. Okay.

-Thimbletack!

-Jared!

-Thimbletack!

The circles about to be broken!

Please come out!

Jared! Jared! What is going on?

-Mom, youve got to believe me. Okay?

-No! No!

One more word about faeries

and goblins and I swear...

Goblins, I know. But I hid the book.

Theyll never find it.

Well, I hope they dont. Unless...

Why is she screaming?

Im the one who should be screaming.

The circles about to be broken!

Mom, no! Hes not the problem.

They are.

Get in there! Get in there!

We have to protect the house.

Understand?

Hurry, hurry! Yeah, get every opening!

Okay, the living rooms done!

-Simon, do the music room!

-Okay, okay, I got it!

Steel, it cuts and burns.

Good thing were New Yorkers.

Good thing were New Yorkers.

Wait, wait, here it comes.

Here it comes.

The circle is broken.

The circle is broken.

The circle is broken! Attack!

The windows and doors are protected.

Get down there. Go low! Go low!

Break it! Break on through! Come on!
