if I can't communicate

with you.

Hands.

Who would've ever thought,

ghost gloves.

Lovely.

Tracker.

And communicator.

Amazing.

Can you hear me now?

Loud and clear.

- Can you hear me now?

- Roger.

- Can you hear me now?

- Roger.

- Can you hear me now?

- Roger!

Now, we just have to get

this other one on Hunch.

He's here.

No, Scully.

Oh, no.

Scully chased off.

"Be there soon."

I don't suppose you've

ever heard any rumors

about Count Antonio

surviving at sea?

Begging your pardon, Highness,

but do you know

anything about the sea?

Antonio rowed into Hurricane Sally,

which took ships

the size of that one,

begging your pardon, Highness, and

dashed them into matchsticks!

Right. Probably

a crazy question.

- Indeed it is, if you'll beg my...

- Pardon granted.

Uh...

But is it?

It's all in the name.

It's all in the name.

All in the name.

"Antonio Zambrano."

He's back.

What is it, Prince Derek?

Antonio is the man in black.

- He's back.

- No.

Can you afford more guards to

protect Odette and the children?

- Oh, dear.

- What?

Odette is following the rats

to find the man in black.

Excuse me, Your Highness.

Everything's

a go here.

Ready to commence

Operation Ghost Catcher.

This stuff can't be good

for the environment.

Jean-Bob, are you ready?

In position and ready.

All right. Go time.

Okay, Scully, show yourself,

me friend.

Oh.

Scully!

Here they come.

Incoming!

Now.

Got you!

This is a 2-12!

Obstructiating the pursuit

of a foo-gitive!

Hooray!

You're clear, Friendly Ghost.

Bogg Ghost moving in

the opposite direction.

Roger that, Skinny Professor.

- Mission accomplished.

- Not quite yet, General Puffin.

While Scully searches this

quarter, you search here.

We've got to find

the man in black!

I'm on it.

What's he look like?

He's a man

in black.

Well, it makes sense.

Come on, keep up, Number 9.

Well, okay, it's been fun.

Got to leave.

Got to get a caticure.

Oh, no. We're seeing

this through together.

No way. I'm not going

on their turf.

Okay. But go tell the King

I went underground alone.

By myself. With the rats.

Just me. Without you.

Okay, okay. Rats. I'm coming.

"How did you die, Number 9?"

"I followed rats into a sewer, yeah,

'cause I was trying to find a lunatic!"

"Doesn't sound too smart."

"Tell me about it."

I think

we're getting close.

This cat can't wait.

They went this way. Come on.

Not crazy about that.

Someone's trying to trap us.

You think? I'm out of here.

I've got eyes

on the man in black.

- What's he doing?

- Am I clear to investigate?

Clear to investigate.

- Wait!

- What?

Something's not right.

I don't think the trap

was for us.

But who then?

Derek! Move!

Odette!

Derek!

Derek!

Derek!

- Princess.

- Stop him. He's gonna trap Derek.

- He's going to trap Derek.

- Where, Friendly Ghost? Where?

Somewhere in section three.

Send help.

Do you copy?

I copy.

Skinny Professor?

Prince Derek in trouble!

Section three! Bring help!

Odette!

Odette!

No.

Where's Odette?

If you've harmed her,

Antonio...

- Where's Prince Derek?

- I'm down here.

Get these grates open.

He's getting away!

Derek!

- Odette.

- He wants you, Derek.

It's always been about you.

We need to go back to Nicollo.

Exactly. He's our

best lead to Antonio.

Your Royal Highness, here.

We might've lost the man

in black for the moment,

but we can find him again.

You didn't have a chance!

After them!

Giddy up, horsies.

Release my ghost, you...

You ghost!

Oh, no.

A word to the wise,

Hunch, old boy.

Uh-uh.

Not a word out of you!

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me three times,

double shame on me!

Fool me four times,

you get the jar, pal.

Hunch, old buddy, my friends

will know exactly where I am.

And when they come to

rescue me, let's face it,

your Bogg friends

won't be a match

for a fleet of ships and

soldiers, will they?

Fool me five times,

it's back to shame on me.

These things are

never as bad as they seem.

Let's just stay right here

and figure it out.

We have to persuade that Bogg

to let Scully go.

- Okay, I'll do it.

- What?

Weren't you going to tell me to get

in the jar and turn into a ghost?

Why would I say that?

So I can appear to Hunch as the

ghost of my alter ego, Green Thing.

Well, how does that help?

Because the Boggs

worship Green Thing,

and if Green Thing tells them to

let Scully go, they'll do it.

- Genius.

- Genius.

Sheesh!

Some people are a little slow

on the uptake.

Sometimes it's best to let

him think it's his idea.

Yup.

I've passed

to the great beyond.

It'll wear off in time.

And if it doesn't,

you've had a wonderful life.

I see. When he finishes...

- Okay.

- Hunch.

Green Thing.

C'est moi.

You died? I thought

you were immortal.

- No, just awesome.

- But how?

I had a cough. One thing led to another.

Look, the point is,

I have

a commandment for you.

You must let this ghost go!

I...

Don't ask me to do this.

You know I can't.

You dare challenge

Green Thing?

Forgive me, Green Thing.

But this

is a matter of justice.

Justice

is a good thing, right?

How dare you lecture

Green Thing about justice!

Now, keep your eyes shut,

or Green Thing will make you

alive again

just so he can make you

not alive again.

Oh...

What's going on here?

Reincarnation?

What's happened?

No one fools me six times!

I've got standards, you know!

What?

Now I suppose you're gonna say

I asked them here.

Shh, you fool!

Let the good people talk.

Obviously, you were right

about Antonio being back.

I told you.

No, I told them!

I told them!

No, I told them!

You both told us! Okay?

I can agree with that.

Fine, we both said it.

But, really, I said it.

I heard that.

Hold on.

If you know how he thinks, you'll

tell us his next move. Now.

In exchange for...

How can you bargain

when lives are at stake?

Fine, no deal. No deal. Right?

Right.

Fine. You'll rot in here,

just as you feared.

Whatever he

would do has already happened.

That doesn't

tell us anything.

The children.

No. No, that's impossible.

Is it?

No sign of the man

in black anywhere.

Rogers.

- Have you seen the children?

- I thought they were with you.

We thought they were with you.

- Have you seen the children?

- Uh... Mmm-mmm.

Spy team, spread out.

The only chance of finding

them are the rats.

My thoughts exactly.

Alise! Lucas! Where are you?

That's him.

Come on.

What?

Oh, no.

Whoa, whoa.

- No, no. Don't move. Don't move.

- No.

Please, let me.

Careful, Derek.

Papa, I'm so sorry.

You've got nothing

to be sorry for, Alise.

Now, let's see.

It's no good, Prince Derek. If

one of us tries to step out,

the scale tips,

and the other one will fall.

I can see that.

Do you trust me?

Now, jump to me on three.

One, two, three!

Papa.

One, two, three!

Take the children

to safety, Odette.

He's after you, Derek.

I won't leave you here.

But the children!

It's not safe here.
