mixed in with it.

Thanks, that was way too close.

-you can let go of the rope now.
-I can?

Oh, [chuckles] I can.
Any idea who cut the rope?

153
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,680
Nope. When we got here,
all we heard was screaming.

-Like that?

-Ah. Ain't y'all a sight to see.
-[Benjamin] What happened?

156
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,040
I was double-checking the rope
when some ninja--

A ninja. Wow!

158
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,240
That's right, a ninja. Well, he jumped me.

159
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,920
We fought, but he threw dirt in my eyes
and blinded me, then tied me up.

160

He must have cut the rope.

Why don't I go first?
It looks dark in there.

[bats squeaking]

169
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,720
Jack, scout ahead of us
and we'll bring up the rear.

170
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320
This must be where the gold dust
came from.

171
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,120
Oh, my, look at the size
of that gold nugget.

172

-Nothing. That's just plain old pyrite.

Fool's gold.

174
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,040
It's worthless.

175
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,880
It looks real to me.

176
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280
That's why they call it fool's gold.

177
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,680
[chuckling]

178
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,160
[Jack] Now, don't y'all go wandering off
or we may not find you next time.

179
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,160
Hmm.

180
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,680
By the way, I checked with the stagehands
about all the troubles with the films.

181
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,880
-Mm-hm. What'd you find?
-During the first film, a bank was robbed.

182
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,680
During BC2,
three jewelry stores were robbed.

183
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,120
-The third?
-An art collection was stolen

184
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,280
from a museum.

185
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Hmm. There has to be an explanation,
and I think I might know what that is.

186
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,760
What did the ninja use
to cut the rope?

187
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,560
-Um, an old pickaxe. Why?
-You said you were blinded by the dirt.

188
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,400
-How could you know what the ninja used?
-Now, what are you insinuating?

189
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Well, you must have cut the rope.
You didn't want us to reach the mine.

190
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,720
And why would I want that, professor?

191
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,440
I am not a professor.

192
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,360
You've been working this mine every night.

193
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,680
That's not pyrite.
It's real gold.

194
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,280
-That explains the bags under Jack's eyes.
-And his dirty fingernails.

195
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:14,160
Ha! Well, you got it right.
Sprocket wanted to film up here.

196
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,120
But I couldn't let him,
not till I got all the gold out.

197
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,920
So, you sabotaged the production.

198
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,320
[chuckles]

199
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Yup.

200
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Well, I'd like to jaw some more,
but I gotta go.

201
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,120
And y'all gotta stay here for good.

202
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,880
[all screaming]

203
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Ah.

204
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,280
There, that ought to keep them
out of my business.

205
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,400
[all coughing]

206
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,960
[Thea] Is everybody okay?

207
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,480
-[Benjamin] I'm good.
-[Pandora] Ditto.

208
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,680
[Benjamin] Are you okay, Uncle G?

209
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,400
[Geronimo] Why does the dark
have to be so... dark?

210
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,200
[Thea] I found the lantern.

211
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Hey, I think there are an extra set
of eyes.

212
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,720
[all screaming]

213
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,640
[roaring]

214
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,880
[bear grumbling]

215
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,280
[Geronimo shrieks]

216
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Eureka.

217
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Hurry.

218
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,400
Quick, push the up button.

219
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,800
[all screaming]

220
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,720
If I can access the elevator's
computer system...

221
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,120
Ben, this was built in 1909.

222
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,160
-Uncle G, we're okay.
-Oh.

223
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,960
I knew that.

224
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,680
I can't believe Jack is the bad guy.
I thought he was a hero.

225
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,040
There's a difference between someone
who plays a hero and someone who is.

226
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,680
-Hold on. We've been this way before.
-We're walking in circles?

227
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,920
Great. A circular mineshaft.

228
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,840
Let's not panic. We need to relax
and think this through.

229
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,720
[rumbling]

230
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,360
Uh, that wasn't me.

231
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,080
Giant boulder! Giant boulder!

232
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,360
[all grunting, then groaning]

233
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,080
-There's no place to go.
-Except up.

234
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:11,880
[shrieks]

235
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,240
[chuckles] Now that was cool.

236
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,360
[laughs]

237
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,240
Adios, amigos!

238
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,320
We're too late.

239
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,880
Maybe not.

240
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,640
Thea, grab that cable.

241
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Pandora, get those rails.
Benjamin, help me with this gear wheel.

242
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,360
That's amazing.

243
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,160
-I hope it works.
-Where did you learn this?

244
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,040
-I watch a lot of cartoons.
-There he is.

245
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,480
[Thea] Okay, let go.

246
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,080
[Geronimo screams]

247
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Ugh. I said, let go.

248
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,320
[grunts] Professor,
I'm getting a might tired of you.

249
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,120
I keep telling you, I am not a professor.

250
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,120
Why do you steal?

251
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,600
You're a big star.
You make a lot of money.

252
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,960
You're right.

253
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,480
But I got me four ex-wives,

254
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,480
three houses,
and a mess of dogs that eat a lot.

255
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,720
None of that's cheap.

256
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,120
Besides, I'm tired of being the hero.

257
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,040
It's fun to be the bad guy.

258
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,360
[Jack laughing]

259
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,800
Oh, dear.

260
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,320
[all gasp]

261
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,200
[all sigh]

262
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,440
Wow, Uncle G,
that was better than Block Cheddar.

263
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,160
Ah, it weren't nothing, professor.

264
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,920
I'm on the set
of the new Block Cheddar film,

265
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,280
where the big news is that its star
is in for a new kind of adventure, prison.

266
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:05,120
With Jack out, it looks like this will be
the last Block Cheddar movie.

267
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,440
Unless they can find a new Block Cheddar.

268
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,360
[laughs]

269
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,120
Yee-haw!

270
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,600
[roaring]

271
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,200
[screaming]
