he'll use the information to kill everyone.

find the pages, and save everyone.

JARED:You can't trust these creatures.

The book can be really awful when they want.

I think you're pretty great.

-(grunts) -HELEN: Oh, my God. You okay?

You really care, don't you?

You're doing everything you can to help.

I just want to make this town better.

I've done everything right. I-I have plans.

Your toughest opponent, Mallory Grace,

Keep her on a string.

We must be ready for the coming fight.

I heard you and Valentina talking

Valentina won't let me tell you.

I had to leave everything I loved. Okay? My friends,

I had to leave everything I loved. Okay? My friends,

our house, Dad.

I stand up for you

all the time. I tell people

that you're nice and that you're just misunderstood,

but everybody's right about you,

Jared, okay? You're awful,

-you're cruel, and you're crazy! -Shut up. Shut up!

(grunts)

Simon, I'm s-- I'm so sorry.

I didn't...

Perfect timing.

I just made dinner.

-(thunder crashing)-JARED: Simon?

Simon!

Mom, Simon's gone.

-HELEN: What? -JARED: I think he left last night.

My hoodie's gone, and his phone's still here.

My hoodie's gone, and his phone's still here.

Are you listening to me?

He probably got up early

to go out and catch frogs in the rain.

We got in a really awful fight yesterday,

and I...

I punched him.

Jared.

Jared.

What're we mad at Jared about now?

Simon ran away,

or he was abducted,

or maybe he caught that sleeping sickness

like Emiko and the others.

Simon wasn't abducted, okay?

If he did leave, he would've left a note

because Simon is responsible and cautious and considerate.

because Simon is responsible and cautious and considerate.

-(doorbell chimes) -See?

He probably just forgot his keys.

-Oh. Good morning. -Hi.

HELEN: Come in, please.

So sorry to come over so early,

but, uh,

Calliope is missing.

She left her cell phone at home.

She left her cell phone at home.

I was just wondering if there might be a chance

she'd be here with Simon.

No. (sighs) We can't find Simon either.

-(sighs) Oh. -Let me take your coat. You're sopping wet.

ANNOUNCER (over P.A.): New York City is now boardingat Terminal C.

I don't know if we should do this.

Okay? Everyone will be super worried.

You want to see your dad in New York.

You want to see your dad in New York.

I should've just called him.

He hasn't answered your last ten million calls or texts.

He hasn't answered your last ten million calls or texts.

Yeah, well, he's busy rehearsing his play.

It was a mistake to leave our phones.

They'd find us if we had them.

They'd find us if we had them.

(scoffs) We're gonna be in so much trouble.

Simon Grace,

Simon Grace,

have you ever, in your entire life,

actually been grounded?

I lost my retainer once.

I lost my retainer once.

(chuckles)

How can you know who you are

if you only ever do what you're told?

if you only ever do what you're told?

It's always about what your family wants.

Jared.

When is it your turn?

When is it your turn?

I need my dad, okay? 'Cause this is the longest

I've ever gone without seeing him.

I've ever gone without seeing him.

He'll know what to do next 'cause, honestly,

at this point, I'm...

I'm lost.

Creatures and-and-and the Field Guide,

Creatures and-and-and the Field Guide,

and Lucinda said Mulgarath was gonna eat everyone.

I don't know who I can trust.

Your brother punched you.

You came to me because I've been a friend.

You can trust me.

Come on, we have tickets back to Henson tonight.

It's just one day.

Why do you care so much about me going to see my dad?

Why do you care so much about me going to see my dad?

I'm trying to help my friend.

Come on.

BUS DRIVER: Are you coming or not?

-(thunder rumbling) -(indistinct whispering)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

(quietly): Jared, hey.

Okay, I think Simon was taken by fairies.

Okay, I think Simon was taken by fairies.

You know, it's super messed up

to make fun of me like this right now.

I saw one of them from Spiderwick's Field Guide.

Bree talked to it.

I told you not to go in the attic,

especially when he's in here.

I'm telling you,

Bree and Valentina

know something about this.

I'm trying to help you.

You've never, in the history of ever,

gave one crap about helping me.

(Helen sighs)

So, Jennifer Miller with the adult braces

So, Jennifer Miller with the adult braces

saw Simon and Calliope get on a bus to New York,

but the bus company can't say

if they're even on the stupid bus.

Okay, call Dad.

Okay, call Dad.

He's not calling me back, like always.

I can try,

but the storm's doing something to my phone.

My messages aren't sending.

Dr. Brauer suggested I deactivate your phone

for hitting Simon, and I agreed.

Temporary punishment.

Temporary punishment.

-Are you serious? -HELEN: Yes, I am.

(thunder rumbling)

(thunder rumbling)

Where is he?

Where's Dr. Brauer?

He thought it would be helpful to take a look

at the Spiderwick pages you found,

so I asked Mallory to go get them.

I had five pages.

This is only one of them.

This is only one of them.

I left the rest in the parlor.

(grunts)

You can keep that one.

Fairies are judgey little narcissists,

but these, these are very helpful.

Good lad. I knew I could count on you.

You made Calliope take Simon

You made Calliope take Simon

so you could worm your way in here.

I came in through the front door.

And those two absconded of their own accord.

I had nothing to do with it.

But you are right about one thing,

I could not resist this opportunity to plunder.

I could not resist this opportunity to plunder.

You got the pages. Go.

In this weather? I'd catch my death.

In this weather? I'd catch my death.

You want something more.

I'm an ogre. I want everything more.

I've seen you in here looking for something.

I've seen you in here looking for something.

There's another page in the house,

and you need it in order to eat everyone.

and you need it in order to eat everyone.

Yeah, well, I'm not gonna help you find it.

Who ever said I wanted your help?

Who ever said I wanted your help?

I'm not gonna leave your mother in this time of crisis.

I'm not gonna leave your mother in this time of crisis.

She needs me.

And, Jared,

I really,

really need her.

("Future Me Hates Me" by The Beth playing)

("Future Me Hates Me" by The Beth playing)

What are you?

Wh-When we got on the bus, I looked at you,

but then I saw the bus driver, and then you were you again.

Jared told me he saw the same thing with Lucinda.

So, just what kind of creature are you?

So, just what kind of creature are you?

Please don't make me say.

Please don't make me say.

Why not?

'Cause you won't like me anymore.

Magical creatures can't lie.

It's stupid annoying, and I hate it.

It's stupid annoying, and I hate it.

I can never do poker.

If you ask me, I have to tell you the truth.

If you ask me, I have to tell you the truth.

What are you, Calliope?

A fetch.

A living portent of death.

I sense when people are gonna die.

I sense when people are gonna die.

So, like, you know when I'll die?

More like I feel death when it's near.

More like I feel death when it's near.

Death feeds me.

Sometimes, I can control my transformations.

Sometimes, I can control my transformations.

Other times, I can't.

He's going to die?

CALLIOPE: It's a glamour spell.

I can look like a person who is

about to die or is dead.

about to die or is dead.

A warning about their impending end.

Fairies. Humans.

Fairies. Humans.

Everyone is afraid of me.

(scoffs)

Everyone except Mulgarath.

I won't be afraid.

I won't be afraid.

(music stops)

My brother is missing,

and, yesterday, I saw Bree save a fairy,

and, yesterday, I saw Bree save a fairy,

which I think-- no, you know what, I know--

you know something about.

Bree said that you wouldn't let her

tell me what the hell is going on,

so I came to ask you.

-What the hell is going on? -VALENTINA: Come inside.

-What the hell is going on? -VALENTINA: Come inside.

You need a good steam or you'll get sick.

Answer the question.

The fairies didn't take Simon.

The fairies didn't take Simon.

So, everything Jared and Simon

have been talking about, that's for real?

I know it's hard.

I know it's hard.

Learning everything isn't what you thought.

I'm not scared.

No. You're terrified.

Tell me the truth.

VALENTINA: I'll make you a deal.

VALENTINA: I'll make you a deal.

You score a point on me in a duel,

and I will reveal everything

you want to know, or...

you want to know, or...

I can help you forget what you've already learned.

One breath of this steam,

and you will forget

ever seeing the fairy

ever seeing the fairy

and everything that comes with that.

And for that sacrifice...

And for that sacrifice...

...I will make your every wish come true.

Happily ever after.

Happily ever after.

What are you?

Make your choice

-and find out. -(thunder crashing)

-and find out. -(thunder crashing)

JARED: Thimbletack.

Thimbletack!

I know you're here. You said you're afraid to leave.

All of Spiderwick is your cage.

If I could ask anyone else for help I would.

If I could ask anyone else for help I would.

I can't talk to Hatcher because I'm grounded,

and Emiko has that sleeping sickness thing,

and Mallory has always hated me,

and Mallory has always hated me,

and Simon is...

gone,

but Mulgarath is in the house.

I think he's gonna manipulate my mom

to find another page from the Field Guide.

We can't let him get it.

We can't let him get it.

-Please. -HELEN: Hey.

Has anyone seen my keys?

Has anyone seen my keys?

I need to go to the airport, and the plane's leaving soon,

and I can't find my dumb keys.

Helen, I know this is stressful, but I'm sure they're fine.

Helen, I know this is stressful, but I'm sure they're fine.

Detroit, Grand Rapids,

and Lansing airports are all shut down

because of the storm, but I have a ticket to New York

on standby in South Bend. That's where I'm going.

I'll check the kitchen.

Sometimes you put your keys there.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's a, that's a five-hour drive

in the wrong direction for a maybe.

I have to do something.

I have to do something.

My son ran away, and I don't know what's going on.

I-I've just been so distracted

by the divorce and the move and Lucinda's death.

by the divorce and the move and Lucinda's death.

I just never thought I'd ever have to worry about him.

I know. I just don't think you're gonna find the answers

to why Simon ran away at the Sbarro at terminal six.

to why Simon ran away at the Sbarro at terminal six.

Until the storm passes, you won't get to New York.

Does Simon have a journal? Maybe that could help.

Does Simon have a journal? Maybe that could help.

No, no, he doesn't journal. I would've seen it.

Well, wouldn't be a secret if you did.

In my professional experience,

if you want to know why he left, try to find an answer here.

I found 'em, found 'em.

I found 'em, found 'em.

(keys jingling)

You're right. Storm is only getting worse.

Maybe I should stay here and look for Simon's journal,

so I really know what's going on.

What? Mom, Mom, no.

No, no, no, no. He-He's using you.

He's a monster.

He's a monster.

-Please, Jared, not now. -JARED: Here,

look through this.

All right? Come on. Just-just-just look.

-I... I... -Ow.

-I... I... -Ow.

Hey, hey, hey. You okay?

Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't... It was an accident, all right?

Enough with the monster stuff, okay, Jared?

Enough with the monster stuff, okay, Jared?

Please, stop.

DORIAN: Okay, Helen, I'm used to this, okay?

No judgment or contradiction, remember?

Now, if it'll make Jared feel better,

take a look through the stone.

-Okay? -Okay.

-Okay? -Okay.

(Helen sighs)

See?

See what?

See what?

It's just him.

What're you talking about?

How did you do that?

How did you do that?

How did he do what?

Come on, Helen, let's look for Simon's journal together.

Come on, Helen, let's look for Simon's journal together.

Mom, wait.

Hey, Captain Dumb-Dumb.

Yeah, look, I don't like you at all.

You're not very bright,

you got a super sad haircut, and you have the worst,

you got a super sad haircut, and you have the worst,

worst taste in music.

But Lucinda wanted me to help you,

so fine.

so fine.

Mulgarath wants Spiderwick's page on dragons.

It's hidden here in the house.

It's hidden here in the house.

-Dragons? -Duh.

He needs it to finish growing those nasties from their seed.

These dragons, they release a poison,

and that's why people are going all beddy-bye.

But if the entire town's sleeping...

But if the entire town's sleeping...

Then Henson becomes prime for eating.

■ ■

Okay, we are going to have so much fun with my dad.

All right, we could hit up the best

dollar cheese sandwich for lunch

and the second best dollar cheese sandwich

for second lunch.

You're lactose-intolerant.

I mean, yeah, but it's worth the cheddar sweats.

-(laughs) -Then he could sneak us

into any show you want.

All right, he knows every stage manager.

You really love your dad.

Are they... Does it look all right? Are they straight?

Are they... Does it look all right? Are they straight?

Whatever, derivative.

Hi. Um, sorry to interrupt.

Hi. Um, sorry to interrupt.

I'm Richard Grace's son.

Do you know if he's around here somewhere?

Uh, Richard Grace?

Uh, Richard Grace?

He's playing Lysander.

Layne Morgan is Lysander.

ACTOR 1: Wait, no, I know Richard.

ACTOR 1: Wait, no, I know Richard.

Uh, Zoe Tibou's friend's friend. He drives that mustard Vespa.

ACTOR 2: Oh, yeah, Richard Grace.

He was never in this play.

He was never in this play.

Simon. Simon, wait.

Simon. Simon, wait.

He lied. For months, he lied to me.

I have the receipts on my phone,

I have the receipts on my phone,

which I know we should've taken

because what the hell are we gonna do now?

Go to his apartment, talk to him.

Go to his apartment, talk to him.

No, he'll just lie again.

I know someone.

I know someone.

An old friend.

He can tell you why your father lied.

But I-I thought this was your first time in New York.

There's a lot you don't know about me.

Magical creatures are everywhere.

Not just in forests and glades.

Not just in forests and glades.

We're hiding all around you.

Even here.

THIMBLETACK: Okay, this door

leads to the dragon page.

It's magic.

It's magic.

Except I don't, I don't know how it works.

A nazar.

(gears clacking)

Told you! Told you!

Told you! Told you!

Here be dragons. Dragons, Jared.

It's coming back to me now. We're on the right path.

It's coming back to me now. We're on the right path.

Keep turning the lock. Keep... Yes!

-Watch. -JARED: Whoa.

Stop gawking and go.

Stop gawking and go.

You got to get to that page before Mulgarath does.

It should be right on the other side of that door now.

Now go.

Now go.

(door creaking)

Whoops. My bad.

Mom?

HELEN: Hi. (clears throat)

HELEN: Hi. (clears throat)

Um, I...

I was, uh, looking for Simon's journal and...

found this present.

My birthday's not for a month.

Simon got it.

Simon got it.

Yeah, he, uh, he always plans ahead.

You know, thoughtful.

I am so sorry

for ever making you feel like you're not as good as Simon

or that any of this is your fault.

I was...

emotional.

And I don't think I'm being a very good adult right now.

Hey.

I don't think I'm being a very good kid right now.

I don't think I'm being a very good kid right now.

When I was a kid,

your grandma used to lose it

when I played pretend with Aunt Lucinda.

She was so worried that I would turn out

like Lucinda and Arthur.

like Lucinda and Arthur.

You know, talking fairy and all.

Back then, I...

I thought she was just being cruel.

But Lucinda said

it's because

kids and adults just

vibrate on different wavelengths.

vibrate on different wavelengths.

You and I want to understand each other,

but, sometimes, it just feels so impossible

but, sometimes, it just feels so impossible

because we see each other

through such different eyes.

through such different eyes.

And I don't have a solution

other than to just keep trying.

-And I will. -(sighs)

Because I love you.

Come here.

Come here.

(Thimbletack grunts)

(growling)

No.

No, no, Mom, I... (sighs) I-I can explain...

HELEN: It's fine.

Thank you for the robe.

Mom. Mom.

Mom. Mom.

(sighs)

Hey, show yourself, you little boggart.

Hey!

Hey!

-My mom is off-limits. -THIMBLETACK: No.

JARED: You could've hurt her.

THIMBLETACK: She's on team Mulgarath.

THIMBLETACK: She's on team Mulgarath.

She's the enemy,

and enemies get dead.

Seriously?

I mean, why are you such a homicidal

trash-hole all the time?

Because I've been alone for 946 trillion minutes

Because I've been alone for 946 trillion minutes

and counting.

And when I heard that front door open, I thought,

finally, after all this time, Lucinda

finally, after all this time, Lucinda

and Arthur were home.

You and Lucinda have matching friendship bracelets.

THIMBLETACK: Yeah. One day, we're playing Yahtzee,

and the next...

and the next...

poof. (sighs) I mean, even thinking about it now

makes me all... (growls)

and ki-yah and... (grunts)

(laughs, cries)

(laughs, cries)

Why do you think I'm a boggart instead of a brownie?

You get it, right? (chuckles) You're the same.

I am nothing like you.

THIMBLETACK: A word of advice, from this boggart's point of view,

THIMBLETACK: A word of advice, from this boggart's point of view,

the people you love

will always leave you.

(grunting)

(Mallory grunts, huffs)

(panting)

(panting)

I don't get it. I mean, I can't score a single point.

I'm not even close.

BREE: It took me two years

to figure out how to beat Valentina.

No matter how fast I made my lunge

No matter how fast I made my lunge

or how strong my stance,

I couldn't win.

And the worst part wasn't the losing,

And the worst part wasn't the losing,

it was the feeling I wasn't good enough.

Two years of self-doubt.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

You don't think I can win.

Not in a day.

(sighs)

(sighs)

You know, maybe forgetting

isn't so bad in comparison to the pain.

isn't so bad in comparison to the pain.

(thunder crashing)

What's your deal?

What's your deal?

You're mean and then nice.

You lie and then admit you lied.

You lie and then admit you lied.

You seem like you're trying to help,

but then you shred me.

I'm trying to be your friend.

(sighs)

I don't need a friend.

I need to help Simon and my family.

VALENTINA:Pret, allez. En garde.

(Mallory grunting)

(Mallory grunting)

SIMON:I don't understand.

What are we doing in Chinatown?

This is a pit stop.

(speaking Chinese)

(speaking Chinese)

(speaks Chinese)

Wait, do you speak Chinese?

Wait, do you speak Chinese?

What else don't I know about you?

Calliope, what are you doing? Stop.

-Come here. -Stop, stop, stop. What are you doing?

-(shushing) -I have cash. I'll pay for it.

No, we'll need that, too, for the offering.

What? What offering?

-Come on. Let's go. -What? What offering?!

-Come on. Let's go. -What? What offering?!

("Stand Up" by VAVA playing, lyrics in Chinese)

(music continues faintly)

Where's Zao?

Okay, um...

To see my friend, you need to have The Sight.

-So... (spitting) -The Sight?

I have a seeing stone at home.

You should've mentioned that then.

-Okay. -Okay,

just put on the glasses, but don't look at me.

just put on the glasses, but don't look at me.

I don't want you to see my face.

Look, I told you that I'm not afraid.

Simon, promise me.

I promise.

-(chitters) -SIMON: Whoa...

It's so awesome.

(chuckles) Hey!

CALLIOPE: Cash. Now.

CALLIOPE: Cash. Now.

Oh, yeah.

Um, this is all the money that we have.

Um, this is all the money that we have.

Favors aren't free.

Who is this Zao?

Who is this Zao?

He is a liar, a con artist,

and a kitchen god.

Meaning he's a dope chef?

Meaning he's a dope chef?

Meaning he's a kitchen god.

Zao knows all the local hot goss--

even about your dad.

Most people bribe Zao to keep his mouth shut,

but if you pay him enough, you can pry it open.

(speaking Chinese)

(speaking Chinese)

What is he saying?

Did you ask about my dad?

If he's not gonna help us, let's just go.

-Come on. -Kid, she didn't come here

to help you find the truth about your daddy.

She's using you.

And after she's sucked you dry, she'll move onto the next mark.

And after she's sucked you dry, she'll move onto the next mark.

The world would be a better place

without this corpse sniffer.

I know some Williamsburg foodies

I know some Williamsburg foodies

who'd pay top dollar for roasted fetch

in orange sauce

and Xiao Long Bao stuffed with sapling boy.

Simon, get out of here!

Now!

Now!

I'll cut you up into little pieces, fetch!

(woman yelling in Chinese)

You pushed yourself too hard. It was reckless and sloppy.

You could be concussed.

You could be concussed.

Breathe this.

Is it gonna make me forget?

Is it gonna make me forget?

It's medicine.

It'll give you exactly what you need to heal.

MALLORY: Simon?!

Oh, I think I'm concussed.

No, you...

you can't be concussed if I'm hallucinating.

you can't be concussed if I'm hallucinating.

We aren't both delusional.

What's my favorite ice cream?

Trick question. You hate ice cream.

Trick question. You hate ice cream.

Food shouldn't be cold.

-(banging on door) -(gasps)

What is going on in there? Are you seriously in New York?

What is going on in there? Are you seriously in New York?

Yes. I had to see Dad, and now, a kitchen god is putting me

and Calliope on a hipster tasting menu.

And I don't know what to do. And I'm in this bathroom.

And I don't know what to do. And I'm in this bathroom.

I just-- Can you help me, please?

How? I'm in Henson!

Just tell me what to do.

Just tell me what to do.

Look, you're the bravest fighter I know.

I'm not even a little bit.

You won state when you were down 14 to five.

You won state when you were down 14 to five.

I know you're a warrior.

Okay, um, you have to take him by surprise.

Okay, um, you have to take him by surprise.

You make him think that he has you on the ropes and then...

you smash his stupid face in

as hard as you can and run.

I can't do that. I'm not like you.

Of course you can.

Of course you can.

You were incredible back there.

I thought you said you can't lie.

I never lied to you.

You said that you wanted to help me.

-I do. -No.

You just want to help yourself more.

You just want to help yourself more.

It's not a lie if it's an omission.

Then what else were you omitting?

What did you want from Zao?

What did you want from Zao?

Listen, I just need somebody to tell me the damn truth.

Yes.

Yes.

You burnt Spiderwick's page that day.

No, I don't know...

It's nice to have someone around who can actually cook.

Mom, I found Simon's journal.

-HELEN: Oh! -He put notes in the margin.

You can read it on your way to the airport.

opening the front door and it wasn't the foyer,

but a pantry of ambrosia.

Fairy food.

-Hmm. -With all the strange hidden passages

Is that a dragon?

THIMBLETACK: Hey, she's gonna ruin everything.

I told you I should have killed her.

Keep looking for Simon's real journal.

That page is going to be mine.

I've been trying you all day.

Where have you been?

What's so important

It's a secret.

This director, he keeps calling himself an auteur

Not that I could use it anyway

Richard,

-Simon is missing.-Are you sure it's not...

-Simon is missing.-Are you sure it's not...

some Jared prank?

I have been dying here,

stuck in Michigan because of a storm,

and you think this is a joke?

I'm just saying that Simon is not Jared, you know?

I'm just saying that Simon is not Jared, you know?

Simon wouldn't order the kids meal at Sweet Chick

when he was 11 'cause the menu said ten and under.

He is sweet and kind.

And he's needy and scared.

He wouldn't cross the street without me sending him

No teenager texts their father this much.

Simon, are you okay?

He's safe. Come here.

What the hell are you wearing?

It's for my job.

It's for my job.

Your job that's notMidsummer Night's Dream

that you were never cast in?

Your job that I found out about from Cesar?

Your super knows more about you than I do.

Richard,

you have to tell him the truth.

Wait, you knew about this, Mom?

Wait, you knew about this, Mom?

It wasn't my choice.

Why would you lie about being cast in a play

Why would you lie about being cast in a play

instead of this horror movie?

I just got this gig last week.

That wasn't his question, Richard.

That wasn't his question, Richard.

You just want me to be the bad guy.

This isn't about us!

Shut up, okay? The both of you!

Why? Why would you lie to me?

I lied because I needed an excuse not to go to Michigan.

Okay?

You're very lucky to have your mother.

Her love and her patience have no limit.

You don't want to be with me?

There's all kinds of dads, Simon.

My dad was not a good guy.

You know, nowadays we might call him abusive.

Maybe I'm the dad that's good for texting memes.

I'm not needy.

And I'm not scared.

And I'm not scared.

I came all the way to New York to see you.

I ran away from home.

Okay? I-I stole sunglasses. And-and oranges.

I got into a fight with a god and I won.

All right? You don't know me. Dad, you've never known me.

I'm-I'm like a picture hanging on the wall

that you walk by every day and just because I'm smiling

you think that I'm all right. Well, I'm not all right!

I have done everything

to make you happy and proud,

and you let him lie to me?

You know what? I don't need either of you

or this stupid family anymore!

HELEN:Simon.

Simon?

Richard?

MALLORY: I want to forget.

(sighs) It's an honorable choice.

But I don't want to forget what I know about magic.

I don't care

if I can't score a point on you.

if I can't score a point on you.

I don't even care if you don't tell me the truth.

This morning,

This morning,

I wanted to find Simon so badly, and Jared said...

You've never, in the history of ever,

You've never, in the history of ever,

gave one crap about helping me.

And I was determined to prove him wrong.

And then, incredibly...

(gasps)

(gasps)

(laughs)

And I couldn't do anything for him.

And I couldn't do anything for him.

And I pray, I pray he's okay, but...

But Jared was right.

I haven't been there for my brothers,

for my family.

And I-I remember

the exact moment it started.

I finally made state championships.

I was down 14 to five.

It was...

It was...

(sighs) It was humiliating.

And when I looked into the stands,

And when I looked into the stands,

my parents were gone.

Jared was having a meltdown,

so they took him outside.

I wanted to make them regret

I wanted to make them regret

leaving me when I needed them.

And I did. I won.

And I lost.

And I've been pulling away from them ever since.

And I've been pulling away from them ever since.

You just can't wait to get away from us, huh?

And I hate that feeling.

I hate how I feel.

So, can you make me forget that feeling?

Can you make that hate go away

Can you make that hate go away

so that I can help my brothers and be there for my family?

Can you make me better?

Point Mallory.

I will tell you everything.

Also, you should know, Simon is safe.

Also, you should know, Simon is safe.

BUS DRIVER: You okay, kid?

Yeah. Yeah, uh...

Yeah. Yeah, uh...

-Thanks for the phone. -Yeah.

-(tires screeching) -Hey, watch out!

You saved my life.

Is Jared going to die?

Is Jared going to die?

(keys jingling)

(keys jingling)

(gears clacking)

I think...

I think...

I think I just saved that bus driver's life.

If I can save his,I can save Jared's.

If I can save his,I can save Jared's.

Calliope, please,

help me save my brother.

I want you to look at me.

To see who I really am.

Then tell me if you still want my help.

(bus engine starts)

I think you're beautiful.

I think you're beautiful.

Liar.

Liar.

Can I trust you?

No.

But I want you to try.

(creatures chittering)

(sighs) All right.

You should give a smile. It's a, it's a happy ending.

-(chuckles) -Don't-don't beat yourself up too much.

No. I have Jared to do that for me.

No. I have Jared to do that for me.

Yeah, he is, uh, he is a handful.

JARED: Spiderwick's dragon page.

DORIAN:Even I have to admit

DORIAN:Even I have to admit

he's formidable.

HELEN:You say that likehe's your enemy.

No, no, uh...

I mean, it is contentious,

-but that doesn't mean I don't respect him. -Mm.

-but that doesn't mean I don't respect him. -Mm.

And that's entirely because of you.

You are a wonderful parent.

All your kids, really.

Simon's curiosity.

Mallory's courage.

They're all quite special.

Low bar.

Well... (sighs)
