[ beeping ]

"urgent"?

"code red. Salvage yard warehouse."

[ clattering ]

you can all jump out and yell "surprise" now.

Surprise. Surprise.

- [ sighs ] - here's your present, jupe. Catch!

- [ glass shattering ] - never mind.

So, jupe, shall we have a party?

[ sighs ]

uncle titus, you know I don't celebrate birthdays.

[ woman ] oh, b-but the cake.

Go ahead. Everybody can have cake.

Just leave me out of it.

Jupiter.

Jupe!

[ titus ] we thought maybe this year you'd change your mind.

Well, I haven't.

And who had the crazy idea I'd want a clown at my birthday anyway?

Well, I didn't hire him.

It wasn't me. Oh, hon, at least have the dinner I've prepared you, huh?

Titus, come help me. Oh, sure. Let me take this.

We don't want that to get broken.

Don't look at us. We didn't get the clown.

But then, who did?

It's locked. Come on.

This calls for plan 24-b.

Bob, keep lookout.

Pete and I will get the equipment.

[ beeping ]

[ whirring ]

- [ pete ] what's he looking for? - We'll find out.

First, we have to lock him in the office.

Pete, close the door.

Yes!

Pull! [ grunts ]

can you hit the latch with your blow gun?

No sweat! Do it.

I pimped it out: Release trigger and an air-pressurized cartridge.

[ pete ] okay, guys.

You're in for a big surprise.

Aaah!

[ bob ] I was surprised.

[ jupiter ] get him!

Aaah!

[ grunts ]

[ squeaking ]

[ grunts ] hey!

He's gone.

What happened here?

There was a break-in. A break-in?

Who? What? The clown? Yeah.

[ titus ] did he take anything?

Yeah.

But he dropped it.

What's this tape?

That was in a box of your mother's things.

After your parents--

after they had their accident, I put it in the office. I forgot about it.

Why would someone break into an office... To steal a tape?

Very curious.

[ static ]

it's ruined. There's nothing left.

Wait! I think I saw something.

[ woman speaking, garbled ]

[ static ]

that's weird.

If that's all that's left,

then I guess we'll never know what the clown was looking for.

Don't give up so quickly.

[ static continues ]

[ woman ] ...Protected by stephen terrill.

It's safe for now, but the danger isn't over.

Julius, you get on camera. Explain the case.

We are investigators who managed to stop the suspect this time.

That's why we've followed him here.

And if we don't finish the case, he'll be back.

So you have to go to stephen terrill's house to find it.

The dancer's eyes will show you the way.

[ woman ] if terrill will let you.

- The house is located at-- - don't say too much, catherine.

If the wrong person gets their hands on this tape--

[ static ]

what was all that about?

[ jupiter ] they lied to me.

They told me they were scientists.

College professors traveling the world, studying the environment.

Who?

My parents.

Why didn't you ever tell me what you did?

Didn't you trust me enough?

And now I'm doing the same thing you were.

Would you be happy about that...

Or... Disappointed?

[ sighs ]

I'll never know.

Are you guys with me on this case?

Jupiter, there isn't any case.

The tape was made years ago. We didn't even know what it was about.

Not to mention, nobody hired us.

That's not true.

My parents have hired us.

They never got to finish their last case.

I have to do this.

Even if I have to do it alone.

[ sighs ] great.

Using the old guilt trip.

This meeting of the three investigators is now convened.

Our first business of the day...

Is to assess where we stand in the case of julius and catherine jones.

Bob.

Do we know where the tape was made?

This part is easy.

You can instantly tell by the background...

It was shot in berlin, near the brandenburger tor.

But this part-- probably made near terrill's house-- is more difficult.

Freeze on the hand.

Can we get the picture any clearer?

Sure.

A gps unit.

Where are the coordinates?

Um--

allington, california.

Good work, bob.

So somewhere in a house in the sierra nevadas,

a man named stephen terrill is hiding something,

and a dancer knows where it is.

My parents were protecting it from someone...

Who's still out there searching for it.

That person may have been in the warehouse last night.

- Did I cover everything? - Sounds like a typical three investigators mystery.

Spooky, dangerous and impossible.

But how are we gonna get to northern california?

[ sighs ]

so what's the plan?

We're gonna take a bus?

You'll see.

[ pete ] wow.

Looks like a car a 110-year-old billionaire would drive.

Jupiter jones?

I am worthington, your chauffeur.

Nice to meet you.

That's what I call a birthday present. It's not a present.

You see, I recently entered a competition...

Estimating the number of jelly beans that could fit in the empire state building.

And I won, of course.

The car and I are at your service for 30 days.

This is cool!

We'll pick you up at noon.

Oh, wait! Jupe!

Take my picture with the car.

[ scoffs ] gosh.

Jupe--

Morning, worthington.

Good day, master andrews.

You got your stuff?

[ grunts ] it's all in here.

I learned my lesson in south africa.

From now on, I'm traveling light.

Speaking of south africa, take a look at this.

Victor hugenay escaped from jail?

I'll have to reopen the file on the mystery of skeleton island.

But first, we have to solve our new case.

Let's go!

[ beeping ] we're very close to the coordinates.

It should be straight ahead.

May I point out, master jones,

that that sign did indicate no public access?

That's okay. Keep on going.

Didn't you see the sign?

We're visiting on private business.

We're going up to stephen terrill's house.

[ bird calling ]

terror castle?

Nobody's allowed up there.

It's private property.

And if I see you around here again,

you'll be getting more than a warning.

[ dog barks ]

don't eyeball me, boy.

Yes, sir.

Perhaps this will help.

"the three investigators"?

The question mark stands for questions unanswered,

mysteries unsolved and enigmas that we attempt to unravel.

That's all I need. [ sighs ]

nosy kid detectives getting in my hair.

Get outta here.

Where to now, master jones?

[ sighs ]

[ beeping ] uh, stop up here.

[ worthington ] very good, sir.

We'll hike from here, worthington.

We'll call you when we need the car.

Do you think that's advisable, master jones?

Yeah, jupe. Remember what the sheriff said?

No trespassers.

We're not trespassers.

We're surprise guests.

[ bird cawing ] here, give me that.

[ engine starts ]

[ beeping ]

this way.

[ grunts ]

[ bird squawking ]

[ bird cawing ]

[ caws ]

stephen terrill. Where have I heard that name before?

[ pete ] I got a better question:

Why is his house called "terror castle"?

Never mind.

I think I just found out why.

[ gate clangs shut ]

[ creaking ]

what is it about the three investigators...

That we're always going to places like terror castle?

Why can't we ever go on...

The case of the cozy cottage...

Or the mystery of grandma's little prairie home?

[ banging echoes ]

doesn't look like stephen terrill's home.

[ creaking ] jupiter, we can't just bar--

[ door slams ] [ locks clicking ]

okay, well, nobody's home, so...

Let's just go. Bob, flashlights.

[ switch clicks ]

[ floorboard creaking ]

[ switch clicks ] nice place.

[ pete ] no, it's not.

I don't think anybody's living here.

[ girl's voice ] he's here. He's in the house.

Who are you?

- Your aura is blue. - Excuse me?

I've got paranormal powers. I can see people's auras. Yours is blue.

For intelligence.

You've got a white aura.

That's the color for strength.

Does anybody really believe this stupid stuff?

I also see a dark shadow over your aura, pete.

Hey, how'd you know my name?

It's the curse of terror castle.

You'll have never-ending bad luck here.

W-w-wait. You don't really see a shadow over my aura, do you?

Bob.

Your aura is red. Bright red.

Wh-what does red mean?

Danger. You're a dangerous man.

Very dangerous.

[ chuckles ]

you were mark antony in a previous life.

And... How do you know that?

Because I was cleopatra.

Sorry. My gear. I, uh--

I-- s-sorry.

Our fates are intertwined, bob.

Um, uh-- about that curse thing.

Not that I believe in that stuff,

but, um, how do I get rid of it?

You don't.

Wait!

Who's stephen terrill? Can we see him?

If he wants to be seen.

Bob, I'm caroline, your russian swan.

For all eternity.

[ door opens ]

bob, I think you've got yourself a girlfriend.

I don't know what I've got. Well,

considering that antony and cleopatra...

Were the most famous pair of lovers in the ancient roman empire, I would--

[ banging ]

mr. Terrill?

[ bang ] follow me.

[ bang ] jupiter!

This is a private house!

Stephen terrill?

[ muffled bang ]

[ muffled bang ]

all right, let's split up. We can each check out one of the rooms.

Split up?

What, are you nuts?

Haven't you seen a horror movie? Splitting up is certain death.

[ jupiter ] pete, don't leave any signs we were here.

[ scoffs ]

no signs.

Does he think I'm stupid or something?

It's not my first time.

[ creaking ]

[ slams ] oh!

[ panting ]

that was close.

Aaah!

Whoa! Aaah!

[ shouting, grunting ]

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! [ shouts ]

pete!

[ grunts ]

[ bob ] what happened?

Are you okay?

[ sighs ] yeah.

I was just, uh, rearranging the furniture.

Looks like the curse has already taken effect.

There's no curse.

[ muffled banging ]

[ muffled bang ]

[ knocking ] [ muffled bang ]

it sounds like there's another room on the other side of this wall.

[ muffled bang ]

there can't be.

This is the last room on the corridor.

[ knocking ]

stop that!

What if stephen terrill's behind there?

I don't think he'd be too happy about us breaking into his house.

Not to mention destroying one of his rooms.

That was an accident, okay? I just tripped.

Oh! Oh!

- There goes the curse again. - Would you quit that?

[ jupiter ] this is really curious.

[ clicking ]

[ air hissing ] [ wall scraping ]

whatever happened to old-fashioned doorknobs?

[ jupiter ] mr. Terrill?

[ bob ] hello?

[ lights tinkling ]

[ banging ]

[ banging ]

[ banging ] pete, close the window.

[ wall scraping ] let's search the room.

[ window banging ] [ wind whistling ]

[ window closes ] [ exhales ]

this must be stephen terrill's study.

"I invented it to make her happy,

and now she is dead.

No one will ever use it again.

I've hidden it deep in the house."

[ jupiter ] maybe this is terrill's journal.

Wait, but-- but what is hidden?

"I-I invented it to make her happy, and now she's dead."

look at this guy.

[ pete ] 1895?

But that means-- of course!

This is the stephen terrill.

You know who he is? No, guys--

yeah, he was a great inventor. The leonardo da vinci of his time.

Eighteen ninety-- but then his face was horribly scarred...

By one of his experiments, and he just disappeared.

I don't know what happened to him. I know what happened to him.

He died. He's dead.

How can stephen terrill be here if he's dead?

[ clock chiming ]

[ chiming, ticking ]

[ pete ] that's weird.

[ jangling ]

could be a loose electrical connection?

On a gas lamp?

[ clattering ] [ gasps ]

rusty spring?

How do you explain that? A defective log?

[ ringing ] whoa!

[ ringing ]

I think the guy with the curse should answer that.

Uh-- [ ringing continues ]

[ ringing ]

[ ringing ]

hello? This is stephen terrill.

It's for you.

Get out of my house. [ wheezing ]

[ wheezing continues ]

we won't leave until you show yourself to us.

Get out now! [ wheezes ]

or you will never leave this place alive!

[ wheezing ]

look.

The door!

Oh! Aaah!

- Pete! - [ grunts ] get me out!

[ bob ] let's get out of here!

[ screaming ]

- whoa! Oh! - [ pete grunts ]

- the stairs! Go! - [ door slamming ]

- [ clanking ] - whoa!

[ shouting, grunting ]

[ grunting ]

[ breathes heavily ]

[ pete ] let's go! Wait, wait!

[ pete ] what? [ bob ] that wasn't there before.

What are you doing?

It's a dancer.

Maybe this is what your parents were talking about on the tape.

No, she can't show us anything with her eyes because she doesn't have any.

Wait. "the russian swan."

[ pete ] come on!

[ pete ] wait, jupiter, don't!

Pete!

Come on!

The ghost! Ah! Ah!

Get out of my house!

Aaah! [ pete ] go! Go!

Go!

[ screaming ]

[ screaming ]

[ grunting ]

wait up! Wait up!

[ all breathing heavily ]

[ bob coughs ]

so how do you explain what just happened, jupiter?

I can't. That's what makes this...

A particularly difficult sort of extraordinary case.

[ chuckles ] the kind I like.

Where do we even start investigating?

Well,

in this notebook,

terrill wrote that he hid a secret in the house.

And my parents said the dancer would give us a clue with her eyes.

Except the dancer-- called the russian swan--

has no eyes, because she has no head.

And remember what caroline said as she left the house?

I'm caroline, your russian swan for all eternity.

We have to find out what caroline knows about the russian swan.

[ exhales ]

okay.

Just as long as we never have to ever...

Go back in that house again.

Uh--

I guess we can stay out here.

And what? Sleep on the ground?

I came prepared!

Sardines, water,

and-- [ grunts ]

an inflatable tent.

[ air hissing ]

that's not a tent.

It's a life raft.

It's better than sleeping on the ground.

[ pete ] why did you bring a life raft instead of a tent?

Hey, if there's a flash flood, you'll be thanking me.

Hey, you know, terrill sketched...

Something in this notebook over and over again.

Let me take a look.

Wonder what it is.

You know, jupiter, there's still something I don't understand.

- What? - [ owl hoots ]

why don't you celebrate birthdays?

Well, um,

it was my birthday, eight years ago.

My, uh, my parents,

they were away from home, as usual.

They were probably on a case.

But how was I supposed to know that?

A-anyway, I-I just--

I waited all day for them to call,

or for a card to arrive,

[ stammers ] anything to show that they remembered.

Hey, I mean, there's always my next birthday, right?

Except, a few days later,

they were dead.

Ever since then, I'm not so wild about birthdays.

Yeah. So, uh, let's get some sleep. [ sighs ]

[ birds chirping ]

[ snoring ]

[ snoring ]

bob, wake up! [ snorts, gasps ]

I'm not asleep.

What are you doing?

My grandma told me once that you could get rid of a curse...

By rubbing dead chicken all over yourself.

We didn't have any chicken, so I thought sardines might work.

There's no such thing as a curse.

Well, then how do you explain that caroline knew my name?

[ male voice ] what's this thing?

You in there get out!

[ whines ] now.

Now a talking dog. Why not?

[ growls ]

it's illegal to camp here.

We're not camping. We're rafting.

Get out.

[ dog barks ]

I'm giving you 10 minutes to pack up and move out.

[ dog barks ] you know, maybe you could help us.

Th-there was a girl we met last night.

Red hair, pale eyes?

Really goofy. Off-the-wall.

Believes in all this loony hocus-pocus stuff.

Just absolutely nuts.

Uh, her name is caroline. Do you know her?

♪♪ [ guitar: Ominous notes ]

that's my daughter.

Well, a-a-a charming girl.

Wonderful personality. I really liked her.

There was a-a-- a bond between us.

[ dog growls ] down!

- Stay! - [ dog growls ]

where did you meet my daughter? Were you stalking her?

No, no, no, no, no.

She-she followed us into terror castle.

You were in terror castle after I told you it's off-limits?

I-I-- th-that--

what bob is trying to say is we didn't exactly go into terror castle.

Although we-- [ grunts ]

what did you do to my daughter?

Nothing. Honest. I didn't touch her, I swear.

But-but-but not for long though.

I-I-it didn't hurt.

[ inhales ] I will-- [ panting ]

yes, sir. No problem, sir.

Y-your honor. Your sheriffness.

♪♪ [ continues ]

"your sheriffness"?

Let's go. [ barks ]

we gave the sheriff our card.

That explains how caroline knew our names.

We have to follow him. He'll lead us to her.

You're kidding!

If he finds me anywhere close to her, he'll--

he'll--

[ sighs ] I'm dead.

Come on!

Wait! [ dog barks ]

[ grunting ]

[ grunts ]

[ sheriff ] you got something to tell me, caroline?

[ caroline ] no. Why?

What's that smell?

I thought I could, uh,

trust you while I was gone the past few days.

I told you, keep out of that house. It's very dangerous.

You're grounded! But, daddy--

and-and keep away from that creepy boy!

[ dog growling ]

[ dog barks ]

[ growling ]

wait.

[ barks ] okay, godzilla.

Let's go. [ barking ]

[ pete ] godzilla? [ truck door slams ]

♪♪ [ radio: Country ]

okay, bob. This is your chance to question caroline.

Me? Oh, no.

Go ahead. Knock.

I'm not knocking. You do it.

You're the one with the weird, special mark antony-cleopatra thing.

[ door opens ]

bob. I knew you would come.

You did?

You heard my soul calling out to you and you came.

No, I didn't.

You and I have a psychic bond.

I can feel what you're feeling. Oh, yeah?

What am I feeling now?

You're afraid. Very afraid.

Oh, she's good.

Bob.

Have a seat.

Want a soda?

We'd all like one. Thanks.

Thanks.

[ cap pops ]

[ cap pops ] [ cap pops ]

[ spits ] what is this stuff?

[ caroline ] I don't know.

Daddy makes it in the tub over there.

[ gurgling ] I don't drink it.

I'm a vegetarian.

I kinda like it.

So, caroline,

it would have been nice if you'd told us stephen terrill was, you know, dead.

It doesn't matter on which side...

Of the great divide a person is.

- It kinda matters to me. - We're surrounded by death, you and I.

It's tragic.

Yeah, I agree.

So, caroline,

you said something yesterday about a russian swan.

I was wondering what it was.

She was stephen terrill's wife, desiree.

The love of his life. Her spirit is very powerful.

Sometimes it overpowers me.

Why was she called the russian swan?

Look at her dance!

The greatest russian ballerina of her age.

Showered with gifts.

But their love was doomed to a tragic end.

She died horribly in one of his experiments with steam power.

Steam power?

But why did you say you were my russian swan?

It's hard to explain in mere words.

Come to my room, bob.

Your room?

[ nervous breaths ] follow me.

Uh--

um-- I'll be with you in a second.

I'll be waiting.

I can't go in there. Let's get out of here.

[ jupiter ] look!

That's the dancer's head.

Bob, you have to keep her talking...

While pete and I go get it.

What do I say?

Somehow I think she'll be doing all the talking.

Wha--

[ clears throat ]

put this on.

But... This is a sheet.

It's a toga.

- Let's break the glass. - I got a better idea.

Lock picker.

[ sighs ]

try to hurry.

I'm not gonna put on a sheet!

Fine. If you don't want to understand our psychic bond--

okay, okay. Give me the sh--

toga.

[ clicking ]

- come on, pete. - Almost got it.

You are mark antony,

and I am cleopatra.

Come again?

You and I are trapped in an endless tragic cycle over the centuries, bob.

We fall in love, you betray me and hurt me deeply.

But I'm not gonna do that.

You can't help it. It's our destiny.

It all ends with my death and your going mad.

That's nice.

Now you have to kill me.

What?

Put an asp to my chest.

[ rattling ]

I can't do that.

You have to do it, antony, before caesar comes.

Got it.

Here, jupe, catch.

Didn't your father ever play catch with you?

No, he died.

What is this? Caroline?

That's the sheriff.

Put the asp to my chest, antony.

Its bite will put an end to my torment forever. Place it on my chest.

Caroline.

The pervert's back.

Bob, the sheriff is-- oh, you know already.

- Nice sheet. - It's a toga.

You little--

you-- you little worm!

You keep your hands off my daughter, you little pervert!

Dad, stop it! He didn't do anything!

Bye-bye, your sheriffness. [ laughs ]

ohh!

- No! You can't do this! - Caroline, get off!

This is disgusting!

Dad, please!

Ohh! This stuff is fire-resistant.

- You're breaking the law. - He didn't do anything wrong! You don't understand!

Dad, no! Don't go!

He's coming! Halt in the name of the law, you-- I'm the law!

Go! Go! Go!

Which way do we go?

This way. Go. Come on.

Are you sure? Trust me.

- Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! - Pete!

- Bob! - [ dog barking in distance ]

[ dog barking, continues ]

seek!

Come on. Here we go. Seek!

That was too close.

No, you're too close.

[ bob chuckles ]

ew.

What?

Nothing.

Let's go.

You have to go to stephen terrill's house to find it.

The dancer's eyes will show you the way.

If terrill will let you.

[ turns off ]

I ignored the first rule of investigating.

Hey, I know that one.

"see what's right in front of your face."

exactly.

Look at the date on the tape.

[ bob ] February 2, 2000.

So?

Well, that's two days before my parents' accident.

I still don't get it.

What if it wasn't an accident?

They were trying to stop someone from stealing terrill's secret.

Somebody they thought was dangerous.

Somebody who would try again if they failed.

So who was that somebody?

The clown in the warehouse.

And the person who stole the dancer's head.

The sheriff.

It all makes sense.

We heard the sheriff tell caroline he had been gone for a couple days.

But... We don't have any proof.

Right. That's why we have to get back to terror castle.

Hold on a minute.

There's no way I'm going back into that house.

- Do you remember the ghost? - There's no ghost.

Look, we have the dancer's head.

My mother said the dancer would show us the way to terrill's secret.

Now we have to get back up there...

Before the sheriff realizes that we're onto him.

Jupiter, I'm not going back in that house.

Two people may have already been killed in this case.

I-I think it's a little out of our league.

Fine.

I'll do it alone.

I don't think your parents would have wanted you risking your neck to solve this case.

[ sighs ]

don't you see?

This may be the man who killed my parents.

I can't give up on this case.

[ sighs ]

well, then--

[ chuckles ]

let's go to terror castle.

Come on, pete.

It's all right.

You're not the one with a curse hanging over you.

We need to put the head back on the dancer.

It was right here last night.

Time to apply rule 38.

Maybe you should try printing out a little book with all this stuff in it.

"it's not what's the same that's important. It's what's different."

what was different last night?

It was dark.

It was really hot.

And there was a lot of fog.

No, there wasn't. [ bob ] yes, there was.

The whole house was filled with fog.

Not fog. Steam.

Stephen terrill experimented with steam power.

Here, look at this wall.

It's wet.

Wait a second.

There's pipes.

Wait. Then that means they should lead somewhere.

[ knocking ]

[ knocking ]

[ hollow sound ]

here.

A control panel.

There should be a pilot light in here somewhere.

There.

Too bad we don't have a match.

[ whirring, clanging ]

hear that? There must be a huge boiler somewhere below.

[ whirring, clanging continues ]

this is like the bill gates house of the 19th century.

Driven by steam power and fully automated for terrill's convenience.

Here.

Terrill comes home.

The door opens...

And the first thing he sees is his beloved desiree,

the russian swan, dancing to greet him. ♪♪ [ music box ]

but what's so convenient about a falling chandelier?

- Jupiter. - No!

Convenient for cleaning.

That came down a lot quicker last night.

Well, there was obviously something wrong with the steam machinery.

[ clank ] the house is very old.

♪♪ [ continues ]

now for the dancer.

"the dancer will show you the way with her eyes."

this is my mother's handwriting.

"to find the map, go to the study.

Become stephen terrill and look through his eyes."

Whatever this is, we may need it.

[ dog growls, barks ] okay, godzilla, let's get those kids now.

A carpet carries terrill to his study.

The door opens automatically.

A lamp turns on.

His desk is ready.

A fire is waiting for terrill in his office.

Ahh. An automated coat rack takes his coat.

So...

Now what?

Look through terrill's eyes.

This looks like the shape of terror castle.

[ bob ] it's just a mess of green lines.

It doesn't make any sense.

This is cool.

[ air hissing ]

look through terrill's eyes.

Wait, jupiter.

Terrill's face was burned in a steam accident.

Maybe it was from this mask.

I have to put it on.

Wh-what's happening?

I'm starting to see something.

Uh! It's heating up.

Jupiter, take it off. No, no, not yet.

It's becoming clearer. It's a 3-d image of the house.

Uhh!

There are arrows.

I see the way.

There is a secret passageway through the fireplace up a staircase across the roof...

And then I can't quite make it out.

Somehow we go down to the boiler room and there's something written.

- What is it? - An equation.

Uh, "c" plus "p" plus 10-to-the-eighth equals "d."

what is "c"?

The only "c" I know is, uh, carbon in the periodic tables.

That's it. Carbon plus pressure plus 10 billion years equals--

[ sheriff ] diamonds.

Thanks for the information.

I've been searching for terrill's secret for years.

- Get him. - I don't think so.

You, don't move.

- You know, even if you lock us up- - shut up.

Let's go.

You can't do this. We didn't do anything wrong.

Na, na, na, na, na, na.

You know what, my mom is studying to become a lawyer.

I'm taking photographic evidence of this police abuse.

- Come on. - [ shutter clicks ]

[ shutter clicks ]

wait. I just saw something.

Oh, please. I'm not falling anymore for this ghost nonsense.

I know I saw something. Come on. Let's go.

Or would you like to take pictures of me kicking you down the stairs?

Okay, let's go. Come on, come on.

Come on, you punks. Get inside.

Come on. Come on. What are you waiting for?

I'm calling that...

Chauffeur of yours to come and pick you up.

Get you kids out of my hair for good.

Oh, yeah.

If you get thirsty, there's plenty of soda.

Yeah.

[ pete ] he's trying to poison us.

I have really screwed up this case.

You know, jupiter, no matter what you do, you can't bring your parents back.

It's a good thing too.

They won't see how stupid their son turned out to be.

[ bob ] your parents were smarter than that.

Jupiter.

Take a look at this.

I knew I saw someone.

But we were with the sheriff.

That means that he can't be stephen terrill.

So...

Who's that?

You're right, bob.

We're chasing the wrong person.

That's the man we have to find.

We have to get out of here now.

Caroline! You have to let us out of here!

My father told me you're just using me to solve your stupid secret. And I trusted you.

No, wait. It's not true.

There must be some way out of here.

I know.

Caroline. Caroline, you have to listen to me.

Don't you see what's going on here?

It's our old tragic story.

I don't want to talk to you. You don't believe anything I say.

I do believe you.

Everything you've told me has come true.

We're living out one of our past lives.

[ sighs ]

which past life?

Hold on a second.

Quick, I need a famous pair of lovers from history...

Where the man was in prison and his lover freed him.

You mean like, um, sleeping beauty and the prince?

Yes, except that's a fairy tale, and the girl was locked up.

How about romeo and juliet?

Romeo freed juliet.

Oh, wait. We just had this in Sunday school.

You know the story of valentine's day?

Jupiter jones, the famous genius.

And bob andrews, the great researcher and historian.

- You don't know the story of valentine's day? - Tell us the stupid story!

- And hurry up! - It was back in 300 and something.

Valentine was thrown into jail for being a christian.

And the jailer's daughter fell in love with him, so he wrote her a love letter.

The first valentine.

So she unlocked his jail cell and they escaped together.

Great work, pete.

Don't you see, caroline?

I'm in a jail cell locked up by your father.

I'm valentine, and you're the jailer's daughter.

You know the story.

I guess it didn't work.

I know the story.

We fall in love, then I release you from your jail cell.

But then we're caught and martyred.

Is there no end to our tragic history together?

Come to me, caroline.

She's coming.

What am I gonna say?

We'll help you.

Valentine, my love.

What has my father done to you?

[ bob ] he's locked me up. You have to get the key.

Of course.

Uh, the key is hanging on the side of the wall of your house.

- I can't see. - Why?

I'm blind.

She's blind?

Oh, right. I forgot to say the jailer's daughter is blind.

[ bob ] great.

Just great.

Okay, stop. I'll direct you to the key.

Keep moving forward. Forward. Okay, stop.

Turn to the left a little bit. Keep walking forward now.

Okay, to the right. Warmer.

Warm. Very warm. Move to your right.

Okay, hot. Very hot.

To your right a little bit.

You're on fire.

You got it.

All right, now just follow the sound of my voice.

Can you hear me? Good. Okay, keep walking over here.

More. A little bit more.

Okay, there's a step directly in front of you.

Okay, one more step.

Now unlock the door.

But first you have to heal my blindness.

Perform your miracle.

Oh.

Okay. Let me touch your face.

Let the light flow into you. 0 sole mio.

You are healed.

I can see.

I can see!

Great. Now unlock the door.

I--

I-I don't know what to-- thank you?

Bob, look, we have to get to terror castle. Come on.

Uh, caroline, this is way too dangerous.

It's a job for the three investigators only.

We'll be back soon.

And then we'll be together for all eternity.

Uh-oh.

[ muffled shouting ]

sheriff hanson?

[ muffled ]

[ muffled continues ]

you dared to attack a police officer?

We didn't do this.

Oh, you sneaked up behind me, you-- you little--

[ groans ] we'll come back for you.

Nice handkerchief.

Who could have done this?

I have a feeling we're about to find out. Let's go.

[ machine whirring, clanking ]

all right,

the real suspect has got to be in this house.

So let's check this room first.

But... Be careful.

♪♪ [ music box ]

bob, you have that glass tube that my mother hid, right?

Uh... Yeah.

♪♪ [ continues ]

here it is.

[ gasps ]

shouldn't we be running away from the ghost?

Pete, come on.

Come on in. Surf's great.

Whoa! Uhh! Uhh!

Whoa! Uhh!

Uhh! Ohh!

How do we get through? We need a fire extinguisher or fire retardant.

Well...

What?

Oh. We only have enough maybe for one person.

Why me?

It's not you. It's the curse.

[ jupiter ] okay, give me your arms. Here we go.

Oh.

Good. Let's go. Yeah.

Step aside.

I made it.

Here's the valve.

Here we go. All right, come through, guys. Come on.

[ pete ] it's a dead end.

According to the map, there has to be a way to get down to the boiler room from here.

The tube. Why did terrill put it there?

I ran into something like this during my research for the case of the three-legged cow.

It might be an antique regulator for hydraulic pressure.

[ rattling ]

as in an elevator?

Come on.

[ machine whirring, clanging ]

[ whirring, clanging, continues ]

the machine.

It's the same as the one in the notebook.

Look at those diamonds.

Crystallized manifestations of pain.

The diamonds mean...

Nothing to me.

[ wheezing ]

because you could always make more.

That's what this machine is for, isn't it?

It makes diamonds.

Perfect natural diamonds.

This little metal chamber?

With the enormous pressure of this boiler.

That's terrill's secret.

His ultimate invention.

He pushed steam power to limits scientists can still only dream about.

What was the price? [ wheezing ]

my face. [ wheezing ]

my life.

I wanted to give my wife great riches...

In the belief that the more I gave her-- [ wheezing ]

the more she would love me.

[ wheezing ] but I destroyed her in the process.

[ wheezing ]

I have suffered...

Great pain by this machine,

and no one else will ever have it!

You'll enjoy the same fate...

As my beloved desiree.

I'm not giving up.

Bob, how long would you say we have before the boiler explodes?

I'd say probably about 10 minutes.

Make that five.

I'll wring your fat neck.

Watch out!

That was close.

Ow! Ow! Ow! There's nowhere to hide.

Yes, there is.

Come on.

Ahh!

We have to get to the elevator.

There's no way. There is too much steam.

Let's go.

[ rumbling ]

pete, the rope launcher.

Ahh.

If you can hook that pipe on the other side of the boiler,

we might be able to pull ourselves over to the elevator.

Pull.

♪♪ [ music box ]

♪♪ [ continues ]

[ chuckles ]

[ speaking french ]

unfortunately for you, I've taken two years of french, victor hugenay.

[ grunting ]

I believe... This is yours.

Huh. [ panting ]

I underestimated you yet again, jupiter jones.

Ahh.

What a relief.

I should kill you,

just like you killed my parents.

But I did not kill your parents... Directly.

It was a regrettable accident. [ rumbling ]

if they had minded their own business, they would still be alive.

Bien sûr.

[ rumbling ]

you're going to let me leave this house with the machine.

It's the key to everything I've worked for-- my own empire.

No. You're wrong.

I never give up on a case.

You of all people should know that.

[ speaking french ]

I just know that you could never leave your friends to die.

This is the glass tube that controls the elevator.

[ rumbling ]

if I drop it-- buff-- it shatters,

and your friends will be trapped in the boiler room,

which should explode any minute now.

Oh, no.

No.

You will raise the chandelier.

I will transfer the tube to you,

and you will allow me to walk away.

Unless you don't care about your friends.

[ labored breathing ] [ rumbling ]

ohh!

[ rumbling ]

huh. Très bien.

It had to be.

You're so very like your parents.

Thank you.

The tube?

Oh. [ chuckles ]

here it is.

[ wind whistling ]

whoa!

Let's go.

Come on!

Why isn't it working?

Hold on, guys. I'm gonna get you out.

Jupiter. Ohh.

We got 90 seconds before the boiler explodes.

All right, let's go.

[ rumbling ]

come on! Go!

Look out!

[ explosions ]

come on! Let's go!

- Caroline! - Bob!

- Get down! - [ screams ]

[ small explosion ]

oh, bob.

[ sighs ]

get off my daughter.

[ crashing ]

[ sheriff ] look at what you boys have done.

You've destroyed terror castle.

That's it. You're under arrest.

No. Well, in that case, you'll have to explain to a judge...

How you stole a dancer's head with two diamonds from terror castle.

Daddy, is that true?

Caroline.

Peaches,

I don't make much money.

I just wanted enough for your college education.

Those diamonds didn't belong to anybody.

The diamonds are gone now.

There's no evidence of any crime,

so I'd say that we're even.

Even.

The diamonds--

millions of them-- all buried under a mile of dirt,

and I didn't think to grab a single one.

At least your curse is gone.

[ pete ] I'd rather have the diamonds. And I totally failed.

The man that my parents were pursuing has got the diamond-making machine.

The same man who was our old french nemesis.

[ together ] victor hugenay? Yeah.

He's the man that killed my parents.

But he won't get away from me again.

But, jupiter, I still don't get it.

Why'd you let him get away?

Because...

Some things are more important than solving a case.

Like...

Your friends.

Caroline told me whose son you are.

I should have known.

Your parents left something for you.

[ clears throat ]

uh, we hope this tape reaches you in time.

We just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.

[ catherine ] we're thinking of you as always.

We wish we could be with you right now.

We love you, jupiter.

I just wish I didn't let down my parents in the end.

You didn't. You still solved the case.

No, I didn't. I let hugenay get away with the diamond machine.

You know, jupiter, I studied that sketch in the notebook.

Somehow, I don't think the machine's going to work too well...

Without the induction tube.

So, you're finally getting out of my hair.

Don't hurry back.

Jupiter, catch.

May I--

yeah, go ahead.

So, caroline,

I'm sorry I ruined the story of stephen terrill for you.

That's all right.

Dad decided I'd be better off staying with my mother for a while.

I'm leaving the mountain.

This is a little less than what antony gave to cleopatra,

but it's a start for your college education.

Thanks, bob.

[ jupiter ] bob, come on.

Master andrews,

I trust you will find this...

[ bottles clinking ] an ample sufficiency.

That will be fine, worthington.

Bob, I told you no soda in headquarters.

So, the file on the secret of terror castle is closed.

And once again,

the three investigators have proven that there are no such things as ghosts.

[ rustling ]

[ rustling continues ]

[ rustling continues ]

[ rustling continues ]

[ clang ]

guess what? My mom lives in rocky beach.

[ chuckles ]
