But...
you're not Markus.
Wait...
I don't believe this.Me neither.
What's going on?!
Your dad's the thief!
Of course not! We made a mistake!
Oh, yes, you made a mistake, all right!
Oh, I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry.
Sal, help me get him down.
Get me down! [growling]
I've never seen you look that angry before.
[Sal panting]
Are you sure you still wanna get him down?
Yes.Okay.
We're in enough trouble.You are in big trouble.
Told ya.
Okay, calm down!
[thud][Lyman] Ow!
Sorry!
What...
...possible explanation is there
for doing this?
[groans]
Uh...Uh...
[Sal] We were, uh...
Well, um...Huh?! What?!
We, uh...
We were trying to catch the vandals!
You know, you know, the vandals who--
who knocked over the sign
leading to the bog?
You know, we thought we'd try to catch them.
Yeah, yeah, we wanted to teach them a lesson.
I do hate vandals.
They put a different light on things.
So... no punishment?
[Lyman] I didn't say that!
Wait, can't we just promise not to do it again?
No! Come on!
Come on!
[Anika] Okay, Operation "Get Markus's Phone Number."
You can do this!
I can definitely do this.
I think.
You can!Yeah!
Probably.
Oliver!Yeah!
I can definitely go and steal my mom's--
Dottie's address book.
I really don't think I can do this.
Fine. I'll do it. But you create a diversion.
How do I do that?
Dance. Sing a song.
Oh, pretend you saw a unicorn chasing a bear!
[groaning]
Or fall over really unconvincingly.
Oliver, are you okay?!
Oh, look, Dottie,
Oliver's fallen horribly!
Maybe he's cursed like Jake.
You should do some of your healings...
magic while I go over there.Oh!
Oliver, what happened? Did-- did you trip?
Yeah.Are you okay?
Where does it hurt?
My ankle.Oh!
Oh, sweetheart.[Oliver groaning]
Anika, help me get him to the couch.
Come on.
All right, get up.
Ow!Be careful.
[all groaning, grunting]
You're okay. You're okay.
It's okay, sweetheart.
Here we go.
Just sit down and--
Oh, he's really hurt, Dottie.
You should do some of that curse... stuff.
Oh! Okay.
Oh, sweetheart.
Are you okay?Okay.
Anika?
Fetch me the first aid kit.
It's in the bathroom.
Come on, chop chop![silent mouthing]
[sighs]
[Oliver groaning]Oh, okay.
♪♪
[Lyman muttering]
Do the washing.
I could get you to organize the shed...
Sal, we forgot the riddle.
We left it right there in the stone.
And we've laid a trail
to lead Markus straight to it.
There's no trap there now.
We have to go back.
Washing, maybe you can do the washing, also...
Okay. Okay.
We run on three.
One...Three!
Jasmyn! What are you doing?
♪♪
Now, why don't you hold on to this while I...
Oh, no, I...
I don't have any witch hazel.
Ugh, Anika?No, um, um...
I don't need witch hazel.
Oh, but sweetheart, your ankle might swell up.
Well, um... good.
It'll... teach me a lesson.
Oliver, are you coming?
Yeah.
[groans]
Ow.
Thank you...
for looking after me.
What are moms for?
Oliver! Are you coming?
Yeah, yeah.
♪♪
[birds chirping]
No, no, no!
We're too late.
Ugh, the riddle's gone.
I can't believe it.
We basically just handed the riddle to Markus.
We were setting a trap.
It was bait, and it was good bait.
But not just any riddle. That's the last riddle.
The one that might lead to the treasure.
[screams]
[phone playing "O Fortuna"]
Oh...
Oh, great.
Just what I need.
What is that?
Well, I built an app that tracks the eclipse.
You city folk really know how to have fun, huh?
No, no, it tells me how long we've got left...
until the eclipse. Look.
["O Fortuna" continues]72 hours.
Could be worse.
If we miss the eclipse,
we won't be able to get the treasure
for another 52 years.
Okay, I didn't think you believed
in all that curse stuff.
I don't, but the eclipse is some sort of deadline, right?
So, if we miss the eclipse,
who knows what will happen?
Okay. Think.
Markus only just got the riddle, right?
And you've still got the picture of it on your phone.
So we just have to solve it before Markus does.
We can do that.
You're right! We can do that.
Okay, let's see what it says.
"I buzz, but I am not a bee.
"I'm alive, but I don't breathe.
Flips and tricks and..."
No! I'll take that.My phone!
We need that.You'll get it back
after you stack my log pile.
No, wai...
We need the other half of the riddle.
We won't be able to find the objects without it.
[Lyman] Jas! Bird watcher!
Come on!
Then log piling, here we come.
Oh, is there a number for Markus in there?
Yeah. There is.
That's... great.
That's... terrible?
No, it's great. But...
this was also in there.
A letter.
It's from Markus to your mo--
to Dottie.
It's how he broke up with her.
Look, here.
"I'm so very sad that the thing
"we wanted most of all
is the thing that has torn us apart."
They may be super heinous villains,
but they obviously loved each other once.
You can tell.
Dottie kept this for a long time,
and she's read it a lot.
She didn't even burn it with all the other stuff.
It kinda makes you feel sorry for them.
Then again, Dottie did steal me as a baby
and Markus just tried to drown me in a bog.
"The thing they wanted most of all."
It's got to be the treasure, right?
Maybe. But...
maybe it was you.
Maybe the thing they really wanted
was a child.
So... I'm the thing that tore them apart?
No. No.
It's gotta be the treasure.
I mean...
otherwise, Markus would be trying to steal you
instead of our treasure map.
I guess.
Does it say anything else in there?
Something that might give us a clue?
No, he just tells her that he's sorry a lot.
But... here.
"And trust me, our secret will remain exactly that--
a secret."
So what was the secret?
Let's call him and find out.
[Sal] Any ideas?
[Jasmyn] Nope.
"I buzz, but I am not a bee.
I'm alive, but I don't breathe."
Could it be a dead bee?
Yeah, it was alive,
but now it doesn't breathe.
But... the riddle says it's not a bee.
Well, it's not now 'cause it's dead.
It's an ex-bee.
It's a zom-bee. [laughs]
Okay, fine. [snorts]
[logs thud]
It's probably not a dead bee.
What's your hot take, Einstein?
Agh, it's impossible with only half a riddle.
[logs thud]I do know one thing, though.
When this is all over,
I am never, ever, ever, ever looking
at another riddle again!
Come on.
Three, one, seven, one, three, one...
Wait! We need to think about this.
We need to know what Dottie and Markus did.
And we need to get our objects back.
But Markus isn't just gonna tell us because we ask.
Well, what then?He won't tell us...
but he might tell Dottie.
And how's that gonna help us,
given she's the baddie who's on his side?
Or was?Look, if we call Markus
from the landline downstairs,
it'll come up as Dottie, right?
Right.
If we can impersonate Dottie,
we can ask Markus anything.
That's so sneaky.
I love it!
♪♪
[grunts]
Are we done, Dad?
Obviously we learned a lot,
and we know we made bad choices.
Some tilt on the inner layers.
Less crossover than I would like.
But...
you're done.
Yes!
Uh, then can I have my phone, please?
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh... Jasmyn...
City folk and their phones, huh? Bye!
[Lyman] And no more mantraps, okay?!
'Kay!
Just so you know,
I had my fingers crossed back there.
You kinda always want the mantrap option kept open.
Am I right? [chuckles]
Hey, don't keep it to yourself.
Read it out loud.
Okay. "I buzz, but I am not a bee."
"I'm not a bee."
"I'm alive, but I don't breathe."
Alive but not breathing.
"Flips and tricks can break my flow."
Wait!
I think I know what it is.
What? I haven't even finished reading
the entire riddle yet.
Just let me go check something with my dad.
Follow me.
It's a mile or so this way. Come on.
Of course it is.
[birds chirping]
[mimics Dottie] Hello, Markus,
my evil former husband
who I probably still love in my heart of evil hearts.
Okay, that's enough.
Let's do it for real.Dial the number.
All right.
0-8-8-6-7-7-3-1-1-0.
[sighs]
[beep]
Can't believe we're finally about to get some answers.
[beep]
[man] Hello.
Markus, it's Dottie.
[Anika] Markus, it's Dottie.
[man] I'm sorry, but this number
has been disconnected and is no longer in use.
[click, dial tone beeping]
Great. Now what?
Sal, come on.
A beehive?
Well, it's not a bee.
But it buzzes 'cause it's full of bees.
And it's alive with movement,
but it doesn't breathe.Huh.
Yeah, well, that kinda makes sense.
Mm-hmm.
Plus, it's been here since before I was born.
That's why I went back to check with my dad.
Which means...Dominique could've known about it.
Okay, I'm sold.
Let's just hope Markus doesn't know about it.
Oh, yeah. Carry on,
if you wanna get stung six ways to South Holland.
And if I don't?
I feel like a super-sized angry swamp monster.
Only without the strength...
and the anger.
Although I am quite annoyed about that
leaving the whole riddle behind thing.
You look great.
Go slow and don't take the mask off.
As long as you don't annoy them,
you'll be fine.
How do you know?
My dad used to keep bees.
Just... bee careful.
[nervous chuckle]
The objects won't be inside. The keeper would've noticed.
Try underneath.
Ah, no.[grunts]
It's too dark.
Did you bring your flashlight?
Never leave home without it.
[screams]
Ah, ah, the bees!
So many bees! The bee...
Where are the bees? Wait, wait.
The... the nonexistent bees.
There are no bees in this hive.
Not for a couple of years.
That's what I checked with my dad.
48 hours, Jasmyn. 48! We don't have time for this.
There might have been bees.
Sometimes they swarm and take over old hives.
Waste of time.
Admit it, you just wanted to see me wearing this suit.
Might have been a factor in bringing it along, yeah.
Wait, wait.
There is kind of a space under here.
Yeah.
A space with nothing in it.
All we can do is hope Markus is as in the dark as we are.
Wait.[clicking flashlight]
In the dark.
Electricity!
I don't think they have that in the forest, Sal.
"I'm alive, but I don't breathe."
Alive, like electricity. It has to be right.
Oh, okay, yeah. Great.
But that still doesn't tell us where the objects are.
No, they'll be at the Forest House.
We just need to get there now,
like before Markus gets there.Yeah.
Uh... Jasmyn! Ja--
A little help?
[Anika] Sal should be back by now.
Ideally, with a new riddle
and an idea of how to solve it.
Plus, some takeout would be nice.
He's with Jasmyn.
Um, I'm sure she'll keep him safe.
That's a good point.Right.
Right, Tammy? Isn't it?
Hey, you two.
Have you seen a little old address book?
I-- I want to call the doctor
for Ollie's foot. I...
I could've sworn it was in my bag.
An address book? Um...
I think I saw something like that
near the, um...
the chicken shed.
Really?Mm-hmm.
Oh, oh, well, I... I guess I could've dropped it
while I was feeding Cluck Norris and the others.
Uh, why don't you just go look there?
And we'll look around here.
How could we forget to put it back?
It's in your room. I'll go get it.
Hold Tammy.
Oh.
Hello.
Have we formally met?
I'm Oliver.
Well, actually...
I have no idea who I am.
I forgot my coat.
I'll forget my own head next.
Okay, quick, before Dottie gets back...
[gasps]
Do what before Dottie gets back?
And why do you have my address book?!
This? I, um... I found it.
I remembered that, um...
I didn't see it in the chicken shed.
I actually saw it in the, um...
in the bathroom.
Which is an easy mistake to make, right?
Yes, well, I do often make that kind of mistake myself.
You do?
I mean, here.
No need to thank me. It's all part of the service.
But why did you say, "Quick, before Dottie gets back"?
Right. Um...
Well, we were gonna make you coffee...
to warm you up after you'd been outside.
I don't drink coffee.
Did I say coffee, I mean cacock.
Oliver?Hmm.
Are you going to tell me what's going on?
Well?!
We were hoping maybe you could do that.
What does that mean?
Oliver's right.
I think it's time the three of us sat down
and had a little chat.
What's there to chat about?
I mean, I... I was merely inquiring
why you had my address book.
So I'll just go and put it somewhere safe.
She really, really doesn't wanna talk, does she?
[Sal] We need to call Ollie and Anika.
If they're at the Forest House,
they need to start looking for those objects.
You better warn them about Markus.
[both panting]
I've got no signal!
Agh, we're too far away from the cell tower!
Come on, we need to get there.
Oh, I've got bars! I've got bars! Okay.
[Oliver speaking indistinctly]
[distant phone ringing]
[Anika] Maybe it's Sal.
Hello?
Nika! Nika!
Oh, thank you, Nika. Listen, okay.
So the objects...
[line breaking up] are in the house, okay?
In something electrical.
Sal says the next objects are here
in something with tentacles?
Not something with tentacles!
Something electrical.
Okay, calm down.
The line isn't great, you know.
It's in something electrical.
Yes, yes, and you need to start looking for them.
But be careful.
I'm worried Markus could be on his way there.
Okay.
Sal says Markus could be on his gray bear.
That doesn't make any sense.
Markus could be on his way there!
Oh, "Markus could be on his way there."
I mean, here.
[both] Markus could be on his way here!
[distant scream, thud to floor]
Dottie![hangs up phone]
[Oliver] Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom, are you okay? Mom, say something.
[door slams]
Thank goodness.
What happened?
This happened.
A total villain stole our objects.
[wind whistling]
[car door closes]
Rex Legend,
you are a total legend.
