[Maxwell] Peter's a clever boy. Are you sure he doesn't suspect?

[Kyra] He's my oldest friend. If he knew anything, he'd have told me.

Don't worry about Peter. I can handle him.

What's going on?

Please, Peter. You need to forget what you saw.

Or what? You're going to hit me with some memory-zapping ray like in the movies?

Is that how you're going to handle me?

We did that already.

You wiped my mind?

-You seriously did that to me? -I'm sorry.

-They gave me no choice. -Who's they?

I've already uploaded this footage to the cloud.

If you don't tell me what's going on,

I'll dump it onto the web for the whole world to see.

-But… -I'm not kidding, Kyra. I'll do it.

You can't do that. You don't know what's at stake.

Okay, let's start with an easy one.

Who is Maxwell, really?

Don't lie to me.

He's an elf.

Well, half-elf, half-human.

-I mean it. He really is. -Are you one, too?

Not exactly.

-It's a long story. -I'm listening.

-You have to swear to tell no one. -You have my word.

Show me what's behind that wall.

It'll be locked. How do we get in?

[gasps, pants]

[grunts softly]

-How did you do that? -Come on then.

Whoa!

What is this place?

[Ladder creaking]

Easy, Ladder. Peter's a friend.

-[Ladder creaks] -[exhales]

You just spoke to a ladder.

It's a magical library. What do you expect?

[chuckles] How is this even possible?

What's in these?

When dangerous magical objects get caught, they're sent here to be stored.

-[rattling] -[gasps]

That's a pogo stick that jumps on its own. Don't touch anything. Seriously.

Magic. Wow.

It all makes sense now. Kind of.

-The flying chair, the suit of armor… -You've seen enough. Let's go.

-No way, we just got here. -You don't understand.

If they find you here, we're both in serious trouble.

Oh, no. Get!

[whispers] It's Ruksy.

Ruksy? She's one of them?

[Peter] I can't see her.

Magical people can't be seen by humans.

[thuds]

-Hi, Ruksy. -Kyra. What are you doing here?

I was so fascinated by all the new objects I thought I'd have another look.

I can't blame you. There are some pretty impressive artifacts.

[Kyra] Those wands hold a lot of fairy dust, huh?

Done. You coming?

I might hang for a while.

-See you tomorrow. -Bye.

[sighs] That was way too close. We're getting out of here.

Peter?

Peter? Peter?

[gasps, pants]

Kyra?

[wind howls]

[breathes heavily]

Great.

Kyra?

Kyra?

Kyra?

[Kyra] Peter?

This isn't funny.

Peter?

Peter, where are you?

[snoring]

-[phone buzzes] -[gasps]

[grunts]

Hi, Dad.

Where are you? I made freshly-squeezed orange juice.

Um, sorry. I went for an early morning run.

You're keen. You want me to whip you up an omelet?

No thanks. I'll grab something from Harvey's. See you later.

[Steve] Righto. Bye, love.

Peter?

Hello.

Answer me!

[sighs]

Where are you?

[gasps]

-Where's who? -Nothing. No one.

Were you here all night?

Must have lost track of the time and fallen asleep.

-Good morning. -Lily! What are you doing here?

Professor Maxwell's going to a book fair. I'm looking after the bookshop. [chuckles]

What are you doing here?

The Library is just so fascinating I can't keep away.

The professor always dusts his bookshop shelves every morning before he opens.

-He does? -You should get cracking.

-Ruksy, why don't you give her a hand? -I think Lily can manage.

I'd better go. See you.

-[Ruksy] All right, what's going on? -What do you mean?

You were here all night. You're all jumpy, trying to get rid of us.

Something's up. Spill it.

[chuckles nervously] There's not…

My friend Peter saw Maxwell and I walk through the wall.

He has a video he threatened to reveal to the world unless I showed him everything.

-You brought a human in here? Kyra! -He gave me no choice.

We have to erase his memory now. Where is he?

He's vanished. I spent all night looking for him.

Help me find him, please.

I've looked everywhere. He could be in danger.

I don't know where I am, or how I got here.

But, if anyone, anyone finds this phone,

there's a secret place in Maxwell's bookshop, in the…

[clattering]

[twig cracks]

Who's there?

Come out.

Hi. How you going? I'm a little lost.

Could you point me to River City?

[sniffs]

Who sent you? Was it the evil thing of Crow Crag?

The evil what?

-The evil thing! -What thing?

The evil witch.

[gasps] Oh, no.

Keep the witch away!

I… don't think I know her.

Ah, she be evil, she be a witch.

Not again!

Keep the witch away!

Actually, I think I saw a road back that way.

[grunts]

Who we got here, then? [chuckles]

[Silas and Cedric laugh]

He has to be here somewhere. He can't go back through the wall.

You're already here. Let's get started.

-Uh, doing what? -Where were you yesterday?

The professor wants us to catalog all the stuff in these boxes.

[sighs] I don't remember Professor Maxwell putting you in charge.

You can start on those books.

This is going to be a long day.

Ruksy and Kyra, you can sort through that lot.

We're never going to find Peter with them around.

I've got an idea.

[yelps]

Help!

Just…

What did you do?

Nothing! It just started going crazy!

How did it get out of the box?

I can't control it!

I'll get her.

Kyra's inexperienced. It'll take two of you to get the pogo stick under control.

Professor Maxwell put me in charge. You go.

But I'm a junior.

A magical object escaping, that's a senior's responsibility.

Way beyond me.

I am in so much trouble.

Not now, Ladder.

Peter?

Peter?

[shop bell rings]

Hello. Welcome to Maxwell's Bookshop, the home of quality pre-loved books.

-We have… -I'm just browsing.

Right here if you need any help. [giggles]

Keep still, you stupid thing.

[grunts]

-Hey. You okay? -Where's the pogo stick?

-I couldn't hold onto it. It took off. -Great. Maxwell put me in charge.

-I can't mess this up. -Let's go back to the Library.

-Maybe Ruksy will know how to control it. -No! That'll take too long.

We just have to find it. Let's split up. Darra, come with me.

[Cedric] Get in there.

Please let me go.

-I don't belong here. -Silence.

Why is he dressed all strange like?

-Perhaps he's a sorcerer. -Oh.

-An agent of the evil thing. -Oh.

-Who? -The evil witch.

[gasps]

Keep the witch away!

[Cedric and Silas chattering indistinctly]

Wow.

[Silas and Cedric] Aha!

-You have come to steal our treasure. -Not stealing. Just looking.

-I mean, if you hid it a little better… -Silence!

Look. I don't belong here.

-Just let me out, I'll be on my way. -Aw, eat first.

-Then you let me go. -No.

-Then we go to Misty Mountain. -Why?

Well, because we have to repay the ogre the money he lent us.

You can carry the jewels up the mountain.

Okay. I'll carry the jewels, then you let me go.

Oh.

It's a one-way trip for you.

[Cedric] No one ever comes back from Misty Mountain.

[Cedric and Silas laugh]

That's a good one.

I recommend it.

-Do you mind? -Not at all. Happy to help.

That's a good one too. Which means you can't decide, can you?

It's a present for my Gran. I don't know which one she'd like more.

Well, this one has nice quality paper and a lovely old-fashioned look.

[inhales deeply] Hm.

This one smells like it spent years in a home filled with flowers.

Maybe I'll try elsewhere.

Look into your heart.

Think about what you love most about your gran and the choice will be clear.

Oh! This is so sweet. Gran will love this.

Thanks. You were really helpful.

Which way did the pogo stick go when you lost it?

It jumped so fast I couldn't see.

-I just saw it! -Where?

Over there!

You go ahead. I'll double back around and cut off its escape.

-Have you found Peter? -Not yet.

Not now, Ladder. I can't keep Darra and Imogen busy much longer.

Okay, run it past me again. What happened last night?

-We heard you coming and then we… -[Ladder creaks]

I think Ladder is trying to tell us something.

"Thrilling Tales from the Forbidden Forest."

It's an enchanted child's book. The entire print run was pulped when

it was discovered it pulled readers in and made them part of the story.

-This one must have survived. -Do you think Peter…

Leave it with me. You get back to Imogen and Darra.

Oh, no.

[slurps]

[smacks lips] Mm.

Needs more crushed grasshopper.

No. You ruined it last time.

No more insect guts.

[thudding]

What… what's that?

-[thudding] -[gasps]

-[thudding] -[whimpers]

[gasps] Look…

It's… it's her!

The evil thing from Crow Crag!

[whimpers]

-Ruksy? -Get back.

It's not working. The lock must be enchanted.

Hurry. They're coming back.

Cover your eyes.

Witch!

-[Cedric and Silas] Keep the witch away! -Witch, witch, witch, witch!

-Keep the witch away! -How do we get out of here?

-Hold onto me. -Keep the witch away!

-Tighter. -Keep the witch away!

[Cedric and Silas] Keep the witch away!

[gasps]

Thank you. I thought I was a goner.

Hey, how come I can see you?

Because I'm letting you. You shouldn't be seeing me.

You shouldn't me seeing any of this.

You forced Kyra to reveal it to you, which put you and others in great danger.

Where is Kyra?

I thought you said you saw it.

I must have made a mistake. We'll just have to keep looking.

There!

Peter! Oh, Ruksy, thank you!

-Kyra! You won't believe… -Not now!

Kyra's not here?

No.

[sighs]

Well, someone's had it easy today.

The DMI has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to human knowledge of magic.

I'm sorry, Peter.

It's my fault. I made you tell me.

I shouldn't have threatened to release the video. Friends don't do that.

I would've told you what happened, but… I had to keep the magical world secret.

Which is why you have to make me forget everything. I know.

It's better this way. You can't miss what you don't remember.

I understand.

At least I got to experience something incredible, even if I won't remember it.

Ruksy, before you do the mind-zap thing…

I just wanted to say,

I know how much of a risk you took to save me yesterday.

When I saw you appear, you looked like…

Well, you looked like an angel.

Saying thank you isn't enough, so…

Here.

It's beautiful.

All right, I'm ready.

Did it hurt last time? I wouldn't remember anyway, would I?

Is that it?

I don't think it worked. I can still remember everything.

Where's Ruksy?

You, my friend, just worked a little magic of your own.
