Raign: Okay.

All we have to do is raise that ping-pong ball

using one of these items.

Bre I'm pretty sure it's the string.

Joy: But we can't get the string

around the ball to raise it.

Attach a piece of gum to the end.

Is gum your go-to solution?

They didn't even have gum in ancient Greece.

Um, actually, they did.

They chewed mastic gum,

a resin from the mastic tree.

Boom! Whiz kid proves my theory right.

Brett's right.

It was never about the items.

It was about the questions.

The ancient Greeks were among the first

to not only prove the Earth was round,

but to question it was flat in the first place.

Hulk: Ugh.

We broke the golden rule of science.

Always question everything.

But now we can create our own solution.

How do you raise a ball in a tube?

Joy, Raign & Hulk: Water.

Gum and string.

I mean, yeah, water. Woo-hoo.

Did any of us bring a bottle of water?

Hey, don't worry about it. I got it.

Forgot to go at home.

No, you Neanderthal!

We have water.

Okay.

(liquid sloshing)

Yeah! We did it.

(sighing)

(electronic signal sounding)

Hello?

Anyone there?

Hey, guys. I found something.

Names.

Michael Pelletier

and Russell Allen, 1956.

Look. Zach Feldberg, 1945.

Uh, I got Paige Murry, 1990.

Did no girls explore before 1990?

Guys, look at this.

Raign: What does this mean?

Bruno: It means

there is no hidden laboratory.

You! You don't know anything about Bell's hidden lab.

Oh, I know a lot more

about this stupid lab

than you think.

I searched for this lab

for four years.

Even failed on purpose so I could stay in school

and keep looking for it.

Nothing.

I lost all my scholarships and went to community college.

Oh, my God.

You know, college grads

are actually in very high demand.

Okay. Whatever!

The point is here I am, 30 years later,

and I'm going to get my revenge,

'cause I'm going to tear this school down.

I'm going to build some multipurpose condos,

get my big payout

and then spend the rest of my days in Puerto--

Oh. Ooh.

I knew what you kids were up to from the first moment I saw you,

and I'm here to tell you that it's nothing more than

a wild goose chase created by a bunch of

bored students back in the '20s,

and that's it.

So, let's go.

Now!

Hulk: Guys, we can't give up.

We've gotten this far.

Bruno: Scrawny kid,

forget about it.

I just saved you a lot of time, all right?

'Cause it would have been detention again and again,

and then you would have gone to juvie.

And then, you're working for the government.

Take a good look at me.

All of you.

'Cause I'm your future.

Well, I'm not like you.

Science may have failed my dad, but I won't stop believing.

There's always a solution out there.

It's about accepting your failures

and finding another way.

Hey, jerk.

Maybe I always wanted to work for the government.

Bruno: You're a jerk. Hey, what

do you think you're doing?

Kid, where you going? No. Hey! Wait, kid.

I am warning you. Stop screwing around.

Come on. Get back here. Get back here.

(exhaling sharply)

I had reservations at The Keg.

Ugh.

I hate this tunnel!

I hate this stupid legend,

and I hate this school!

(panting)

Joy: What's on your face?

Hmm?

You got a little something, just--

Gallium.

Is the whole wall gallium?

Bre What is gallium?

Why am I the only one that never gets it?

Gallium is like mercury, except non-toxic. Man-made.

It stays solid at room temperature,

but just above room temperature--

It melts. Yeah.

Kid, get me your spray paint.

What I'm about to do should not be done at home

or without a supervising adult, and I mean never.

I am an irresponsible adult

on a random treasure hunt with some kids,

and what I'm about to do is very dangerous, so stand back.

(lighter clicking) Further.

(cackling)

Oh, my God.

(cackling)

Joy: It's the wheat sheaf.

A door.

There's got to be a switch or something here.

Let's see.

Ooh! I did it. Look.

Took you guys long enough.

Man on phonograph: This record

has been made by

Alexander Graham Bell

on the 17th of September, 1918.

It's him.

Quiet.

Congratulations on making it through my labyrinth of trials.

You proved yourself to be

a true man, or men, of science.

Unbelievable.

I created this room

to hide from the public

all of my biggest failures.

What?

May they bear proof

that discovery, though difficult,

is ultimately-- No, no. Not now. Not now.

May these inspire you--

No, no. I don't want any popcorn bowls.

No, please. I'm recording something.

Watson?

Get me a Coca-Cola.

They had Coke a hundred years ago?

Shh!

May these inspire you

to accept that failure is merely a step,

and to never stop searching for answers,

believing in yourself, humanity,

and pursuing the betterment of both.

Guys, I can't believe--

(slurping)

Ah. I love this drink.

It's delicious.

(sighing)

So, this place is just a bunch of old junk that never worked.

Bruno: Are you crazy?

This is a look into the brain of a genius.

I mean, look at this.

Did you know that this here is the prototype

for Bell's metal detector?

He thought it didn't work but it was actually so powerful,

it detected metal from all around. And this?

This is his drawing for a hydrofoil.

It was actually the fastest boat in the world once.

And he used to experiment with it in Nova Scotia.

In fact,

this is his brain.

I mean, there must be hundreds of hours of recordings here.

You kids still don't get it, do you?

Alexander Graham Bell is one of the greatest inventors

of our time,

along with Tesla, Davy, Froelich, Edison.

Kids: Hmm.

You're right. Edison is a bit of a jerk.

Regardless,

this genius's failures

should really excite you.

"Every failure is a step to success."

William Whewell.

"Failure is the opportunity to start over."

Henry Ford.

Bre "Every failure

is a stepping stone to greatness."

Oprah Winfrey.

What?

Okay, come on. She's awesome.

So, you're not going to shut down the school?

(scoffing) Hell, no.

This room is worth way more.

We're going to be famous!

Sorry? "We"? (chuckling) Nuh-uh.

The only one getting rich and famous from this room is me.

Well, when we get out,

we're going to tell everyone about this place.

Yeah. If they ever find you.

Relax. I'm not going to kill you.

There's no way I'm letting

a bunch of trespassing kids

beat me to the heritage office.

In fact, you'll be lucky

if I don't press charges.

Breaking and entering into a school.

(cackling)

Come on. Open!

The gallium must have hardened.

Hey, little Thor, I need you for a minute.

Don't worry. It's just me.

It's your buddy. Come here.

I need you to do me a favour, okay?

I need you to go and scoot your butt

back through that little hole

and I need you to let us out, okay?

And don't even think about running away.

Mr. Bruno?

This is filled with gallium as well.

We're stuck.

And nobody knows we're down here.

Help!

Get me out of here!

Help me!

No. No!
