- You'll never guess what I heard.

- What? - Shh.

I have to keep it quiet. - Marty hasn't talked to you?

- No. - Marty Tisdale wants you

to be his first kiss. - His first kiss?

Smarty Marty?

- Carrying around the bat.

- I'm like two years older than him.

- What can I say? He likes older do women.

- That's why I got the spike, bro.

- Yeah, no. That's not gonna happen.

You know, he's nice and all, but I don't think so.

They need this game

to get into the playoffs.

- Come on Martinez. - Curry fires the ball in ...

Oh no, no, no, don't!

Quiet, everyone!

Ugh!

- Well, that wraps it up as Martinez

never took the bat off of his shoulder,

and the Nite Owls lose, 2 to 1.

Now for our sponsor.

- Hey, it's Marcus.

Double it on Saturday. Yeah, I'm sure.

Come on, man, you know I'm good for it.

Yeah, Monday. I'll see you Monday.

All right, buckle up!

- So what are you doing for the weekend?

- Oh, I'm gonna to to petting zoo at Hope Boulevard.

- Where are you going tomorrow?

- The petting zoo. - Say what?

- Yeah, I think she said petting zoo.

- Okay, it was my grandma's idea.

She still thinks I'm like six years old.

- I remember going to a petting zoo.

Yeah.

When I was in kindergarten. - When I was in kindergarten.

- While it beats sitting at home.

Hey dad, after this can we go to the park?

- Oh, I think that's a great idea.

- Well, can we get out of the car? 'Cause I'm burning up.

- Yes, mom.

- Dad, park? - I got some bad news.

Unfortunately, the park's closing.

- What?

- What do you mean the park is closing?

- If the park closes, you won't have a job right?

- Well, wait just a minute.

We grew up in that park.

Like, is there anything we can do?

- No.

I mean, not unless you can come up with

a lot of money in the next 10 days.

- Okay. How much money? - Seven figures.

- Why didn't you tell me this was happening?

- I'm sorry, baby. I, I thought I could fix it.

I can't. I just, I'm sorry.

- Oh, that little brown one.

I just wanna take him home.

- It's adorable.

- Will you say hi?

We're not gonna hurt your baby. No.

Okay.

- Grandma, I have to use the bathroom.

- Okay. Do you know where it is?

- No, but I'll find it.

- Meet us back here. - Okay, okay.

- Oh yeah. Thanks for the job offer.

Um, moving to the city is gonna be hard.

Well, this town is all we've known.

Can, can you gimme a couple of weeks?

No?

- Oh my gosh. Hi. - Hi.

- I didn't expect to see you here.

Uh, I'll see you on school? - You got it.

- Bye. - Bye.

- All right then,

I'll take it.

Yeah, yeah. No, no. It it, it's, it's a good timing.

All right. Thanks a lot.

Hi, little guys.

- Oh, that's so sweet. - They're so cute, Mom.

I'm told there's some llamas. - Oh.

- So I'm gonna go check 'em out. Have fun.

- That thing is crazy! Come on, let's get out of here!

- Hey. - Oh, hi Kate.

- Maggie, this is my friend, uh...

- Hi, my name is Douglas.

- Hi Douglas. Nice to meet you.

- Sorry. It's our first date.

- Maggie, it was good to meet you.

I'm gonna let you two catch up and I'll be right over here.

- Okay. - Bye.

- His profile says he's an animal lover.

You know I am. - Yes, I do. Mm-hmm.

- So what brings you here?

Oh, I'm here with my daughter and her husband

and my granddaughter. - Oh, Mindy's here?

- Yeah, she's around here somewhere, but you know kids.

- You are gonna be home this weekend, right?

Well, I have my book club on Monday,

but yeah, I'm around this weekend.

Why? - Well, me and you,

we gotta work on some stuff.

- Oh, okay. Well, you know where I live.

Just come on by. - Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna go find my friend, um...

- Douglas. - Douglas.

- Where is that girl.

Can you help me? I seem to have misplaced my granddaughter.

- Oh yeah, of course.

I don't think she could have left.

- Oh, I hope not.

- Hey Mom, where's Mindy?

- I don't know. I've lost her.

I mean, she must be here somewhere, but...

- Yeah, Mindy's always wandering.

- Lemme go get the owner. - Thank you.

- She'll show up. - Grandpa?

- Yeah.

- Oh, how many times we told her not to do this?

- No, don't worry about it. - Hi there.

- Hey. - My name's Epson Randolph.

I'm the owner here. - Hi.

- You already met my granddaughter, Sandy.

- Yeah.

- Sorry to meet under these circumstances,

but don't you worry.

It happens all the time. Kids.

I'm sure she's a around somewhere.

- Well, I mean, I tried calling her,

but she's not picking up.

- Did anyone check that area over there

that says "Keep Out?"

- Do you think she went in there?

- Well, if I were curious and a child,

that's where I'd be.

- What's in there?

- Just the wild little mini horse.

Won't let anyone within 10 feet of her.

Come on, let's take a look.

Be careful.

Well, I'll be.

Will you look at that?

- I had to calm down Angel.

- Angel? - Yeah.

That's what I named him.

- Honey, I think you should come over here.

That pony's dangerous.

- Baby, why don't you come over without Angel?

- Why? - Honey, that Pony's not safe.

- He is not dangerous.

He's just scared, that's all.

- I can't believe it.

Never in my life have I ever seen anything like that.

Looks like you found yourself a new friend, young lady.

- Please don't run away like that anymore.

You had us worried. - Yeah.

I won't. Isn't Angel beautiful?

- I do believe he is.

- So Epson,

what would you think about selling him?

- Sellin' him? - Mm-hmm.

- Maybe. - Um, Mom.

I, I don't think that's such a good idea.

- Ah, nonsense.

I have a beautiful farm just south of here,

and Mindy will take good care of Angel,

and I think it would be a sin to separate those two,

don't you?

- Hmm, yes, I do.

So you have yourself a deal,

and I promise I'll give you a fair price.

- Oh, I don't know what to say.

- Thank you will be quite enough.

- Thank you.

- Mom, you don't have to do this.

- Oh, but I want to.

Besides, it'll give my granddaughter for another excuse

to come see me more often.

- Well, I promise that I will deliver Angel

to you this afternoon.

But I do need your name. - Oh, yes.

- And your address, if you would be so kind.

Strictly on the professional level, of course.

Of course.

There you go. - Oh, you're close.

- Yes. And I'll be home after 3:00.

- Well, good.

I promise I will have Angel to you in the afternoon, ma'am.

- Thank you.

- Can I spend the weekend with grandma?

- Oh, see, it's happening already.

I mean, if it's up to her.

- Oh, honey, you can stay for as long as you want.

- Yes!

Do you hear that, Angel? You have new home.

We're gonna spend the whole weekend together.

Grandma!

He's here. Angel's here!

- Come on. Come on.

Good boy.

- Well, you are very punctual, Epson.

- Old habits never die.

- Hey, Angel. - There you go.

- Welcome to your new home.

Hey grandma, what's this?

Some kind of strange marking.

- Oh, it's just some kind of brand or something.

Oh, that's no brand.

It's more like a birth mark.

Can I tell you a little secret?

You ever heard of the Legend of Catclaws Mountain?

- That old tale. - It's not a tale.

- Uh, Catclaws Mountain? - Yes.

Folks say that there is a pile of gold

waiting to be discovered up there on those mountains.

Legend has it that a magical pony with certain markings

is gonna lead the right person to the treasure.

- It's a magical pony.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

- I'm just playing with ya. That's all I'm doing.

It's just a story, right, Mrs. Porter?

- Yeah, it's like a fairytale.

Keep this up, you'll have her believin' in the Boogeyman.

- Grandma.

That's okay. I know that Angel is more than just a pony.

- Come on, you're gonna love your new place.

I have lots of apples waiting for you.

We are going to do everything together.

I love you so much. You are so cute.

- Now that right there, that is true love.

- Yep. - Maybe one day.

Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky like that.

It's always a pleasure, Mrs. Porter.

- Always a pleasure, Epson.

- You have yourself a nice one.

- And you.

- I'll do all the talking.

- What are you waiting for?

- What? Oh.

- What was that? - What?

- That's all you got? - What do you mean?

- Hold on, I'm comin'.

- Easy, killer.

- Good evening.

- My name is Professor Surkov,

and these are my associates, Willie and Craig.

I hope we're not interrupting.

You can call me Nikolai.

- I'm Epson. Good to meet you. - Do you mind if we come in?

- Are you here to try to sell me something?

- No, no, quite the opposite.

We're actually trying to buy something from you.

- Well, in that case, you had me scared for a second.

Come on in. - Thank you.

- Wow. - What a great house.

- Thank you. Grab a seat.

Make yourself comfortable.

- Is that you?

- Well, it used to be, many moons ago.

- It's fascinating, huh? - Your thoughts, Willie?

- Zippo the clown.

I remember seeing you perform when I was a kid.

- You remember?

Well, I hope I made you smile.

- Oh, you did, sir.

- So where you boys from?

- Chapel State. - University?

That is a long, long ways away from here.

- Yes, it is. It was a long drive.

- Huh.

So what can I do for you and what do you wanna buy from me?

- Uh, we would like to purchase one of your mini horses,

if that's okay. - I have a mini horse.

- Yes?

- Or should I say, I had a mini horse.

The one I had, I sold this afternoon.

Matter of fact, I just got back from delivering it.

- You sold it? - Yeah.

- You sold your mini horse? - That's what I said.

- I see. Heh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

We drove long ways

and we would've paid top dollar for it.

- Well, you know what they say you win some, you lose some.

That's, that's right.

He is right.

Epson, would you mind giving us the address

of the person you sold it to?

- I'm afraid. I, I can't do that.

Sure you understand.

- I'll give you some money for it.

It's not a problem.

- I said I can't.

- Well, that's too bad.

- This is a waste of time.

- Yeah. - Yeah, we, we understand.

We have a long trip. We should probably go.

- What do you mean? - I said we're good.

It's okay. Sorry to bother you,

- Angel? It's me.

Hey boy.

I brought us a blanket to keep us warm.

Whatever happens with my dad's job,

I'll never leave you.

Goodnight.

Hey buddy.

- Ah, there you are.

- Ah, I thought it would be better

if I spent the night with Angel.

You know, he might get lonely. You never know.

- Mm-hmm. Actually, I knew you were in here.

I watched you walk in last night.

- Ah, okay. - Next time just ask.

- Okay, I promise. - Come on in.

I'll fix your breakfast. - I'll be there in a minute.

- Don't let it get cold!

- Here are your oats.

I'll be right back after breakfast.

- Thanks. Oats are my favorite.

- Who said that? - Wait.

You can hear and understand what I'm saying?

Right.

Grandma? Grandma, you won't believe this.

- Mm, delicious.

- Oh, what is it? - I, I was talking to,

I was talking to Angel, and, and he talked back.

It was, it was so weird. Oh, oh my gosh.

Okay, okay, Angel, say, say something.

- Okay. What do you want me to say?

- See, did you hear that? - Hear what?

- Angel.

- Oh honey, are you okay?

Did you hit your little head last night?

- What? No, I'm fine.

Angel, why can't she hear you?

- Hmm. I dunno.

- Okay, we're gonna get some food in you.

You had a tough night in the barn. Let's go.

- But Grandma! - Nope. Enough.

How come I can hear you

and no one else can?

- I don't know. I guess it's like magic.

And who can explain how magic works? It just does.

- Yeah. I guess you're right.

Now my grandma thinks I'm nuts.

I must be crazy. A talking pony?

- You're not crazy.

After what you said last night, I trust you.

I'm happy that I finally have someone to talk to.

- Me too.

- You're the first person who could ever hear

or understand what I'm saying.

- Why me? - I don't know.

- Hey, is it okay if I call you Angel?

Uh, I kind of just named you that when I found you.

- Yeah, Angel. I like it.

- Can you take me for a ride?

- I wish.

Look at me. I'm just not big enough.

- That's okay.

Can you really lead someone to treasure

- on those mountains? - I don't know, maybe.

It's just that you ever have that feeling

that you were meant to do something really important?

You know, like a purpose,

but you just don't know what it is?

- All the time.

- I keep having this urge to head off to mountains

that I've never been to before, except in my dreams.

What does that mean?

- I'll tell you what it means.

It means that story that Epson told us, it's true.

- I don't know about that.

- I believe it's true.

There it is, boy, Catclaws Mountain.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You good boy? What's wrong?

Are you okay?

- Come on, Mindy. Your parents are ready.

- Oh, mom.

Mom, you didn't have to do that.

- Oh, I sure did. - Aww.

What is it? - It's an apple pie.

Next time it's a chocolate cake.

Come on, let's go!

- Oh, Mom. - You better stop it.

- It smells so good. - I'm gonna get you fat.

Oh, come on, Mindy!

- Mindy Johnson, get a move on!

Okay.

Now, eat your apples. I'll be back soon.

- When are you coming back? - Next weekend. Promise.

- Come on, hug your grandma.

I will take good care of Angel.

- Okay, thank you. - You are welcome.

- Bye. - Guys, drive safely.

- All right. - Thanks again for everything.

- Love you. - Love you, mom.

- Bye!

- I'll take care of this.

Hello there. - Hi.

- I hope we are not disturbing you.

- No, no, not at all. Are you lost?

You need directions? - No, no, no.

It's actually about that mini horse.

I mean, I mean the pony that you have purchased.

- What about it?

- I'd like to buy it off of you. Just name your price.

- Whoa no, no. I just bought it.

I'm not selling it.

- I'll give you twice as much what you paid for it.

Just name your price.

- No, sir, you can put your money away.

I can't sell that pony.

It would break my granddaughter's heart.

- Are you sure? It's, it's a lot of money.

- I'm not selling.

- Well, sorry to hear that.

- You know, I'd like to know why you're so bent

on buying that pony.

- Well, let's say I'm particularly fond

of that particular pony.

I mean, mini horse.

- I'm sorry I can't help you. - Me too.

- Let's go guys. - You have a lovely house.

- Thank you.

Hmm.

Hey. Right here.

- Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh. - There he is.

Easy, easy, easy. Calm down.

Calm down, calm down.

Easy boy easy.

Easy. That's good.

I'm sure, if the legends are true,

I'm sure you can understand me, huh?

Yeah, calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

- You sure this is the pony?

- Look, Professor. - I know it is.

Didn't I tell you?

- Sh, sh, sh. - Hey, hey, hey, hey,

listen, if you don't come with us,

we'll have to pay a certain little girl a visit.

You understand? Would you like me to do that, hmm?

- I don't think so.

Hey, listen, all we need you to do

is to lead us to be gold.

You do that, no one get hurts, you or anybody else.

Come on, Let's go, let's go, let's, yeah.

Easy, easy, easy.

Calm down. Calm down. - Sh, sh, sh, sh.

- There's a good boy.

Yeah, there's a good boy.

Yeah. - Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, let's go. Hurry up.

- Good morning, Mr. McKinley.

Are you okay, Mr. McKinley?

- There's no sure thing in baseball.

How can a Cy Young winner give up two home runs

at the bottom of the ninth inning?

He's paid to be a closer.

- You know what I mean? - No, not really.

- Nevermind. I'll be fine. - Okay.

Hey. - Hey.

- Did you hear about the park closing?

- It's about time they closed that dump.

- Yeah! - He's not worth it.

- Oh, no baseball?

What are you gonna do now, Mr. Jock?

- It's okay. You can always cry to your mommy.

- Oh, Mommy.

They closed the park and now I can't play baseball.

Hey, sit down!

Jacob, get back to your seat.

- He seems cranky today. - Yeah.

- I heard your dad might lose his job.

- Are you okay?

- I think I have a way to fix everything.

Do you guys remember the petting zoo that I went to?

- Well, yeah. - Come on, tell us.

- My grandma brought me a pony.

- Are you serious?

- You have a pony? - Yeah. His name's Angel.

He's at my grandma's house and there's something else.

- What? - Let me see.

How do I say this?

Have you guys ever heard of the Legend of Catclaws Mountain?

- Um, yeah, we've all heard of it.

- Lost treasure, gold. I wonder how much that's worth.

- It's gotta be worth millions.

- Angel could lead us to the treasure.

- What? That is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

- I know you don't believe me,

but there are special marks, okay?

I'm crazy, right? - Yeah,

you're crazy.

- I should not have opened my mouth.

- But the pony part's true? - Yes.

And so is the legend of Catclaws Mountain.

- You know it's just a fairy tale.

- I'm telling you it's true. Angel can lead us to the gold.

- I gotta see this pony. - This weekend.

You can come to my grandma's house.

- Is it far? - No, not at all.

It's just on Hummingbird Lane. Last farmhouse on the right.

- We could just have the back dedicated to speakers.

It would be the party bus. - Yes!

Yes! - Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, so we have

all that stuff on the top, and then we have speakers,

so the speakers are gonna be like boom, boom, boom.

And, bro, a subwoofer. Oh! - Oh yeah!

- And it just shakes the back of the bus.

- Yeah! Yeah! - It could be exploding.

- You're good dude. Don't worry about it.

- And we'll talk.

- Oh, the bus.

- Hey, wait! - Hey!

- Hey, you just missed Jenny and Kristi.

- Come back. - Come back!

- Hey, this isn't the way to school. What's going on, man?

- Yeah.

- What are we doing?

- Wait, you took a wrong turn.

- Marty, what's he doin'?

- This isn't the way to school.

- Mr. McKinley?

- What's the deal, man? This isn't the way to school.

- Yeah!

- Would you sit down and shut up?

- All right. What would you rather do?

Go back to school and sit in some boring old classroom,

or go on a fun, exciting field trip?

- Duh, field trip. - Yeah.

- All right, then. Thought you'd say that.

Field trip it is. - Um, Excuse me, Mr. McKinley,

do you have permission to do this?

- Shut up, nerd. I don't wanna go to school.

- Yeah, quiet. - Mr. McKinley,

where are we going? - Uh, surprise.

Frankie. - Yes, Mr. McKinley.

- Do me a huge favor. Collect all the cell phones.

- What? No way.

- My mom told me to never give my cell phone away.

- Yeah, same here.

Do you really need our cell phones, Mr. McKinley?

- Well, I guess if you can't keep a secret,

then we can't go on our secret field trip.

- Come on. - Field trip. Woo-woo!

Field trip!

- Oh, mommy, I'm gonna get in trouble

if I hand my phone over to Mr. McKinley

- Here. - Thank you.

- Smarty?

- Oh God, I'm not learning anything on this field trip.

I'm melting! I'm melting!

- Come on, Marty.

We all do it, or we're back at the same place

we always go to, school.

- There we go.

Nice cat, not.

- Thank you, sir. - No problem.

- Thanks everyone.

You'll get the cell phones back

once this field trip has been concluded.

- Wait, I think I recognize this.

This is the way to my grandma's house.

Mr. McKinley, are we going to my grandma's farm?

- Yeah, Mindy, I thought we'd take a look-see

at that special pony of yours.

- We're skipping school to see some girly pony?

- I like ponies. - You would.

- I don't mind seeing a pony as long as I'm back

for my baseball game.

- Is it just me or is there something about this

that doesn't feel right? - Oh, it's definitely you.

- Wait until you see Angel.

Thanks Mr. McKinley! - Yeah, sure.

All right everybody.

Mindy's gonna be leading this tour,

so follow her and behave yourselves.

Is anybody home? - Uh, I don't think so.

My grandma's car is not here.

She's probably at her book club meeting. Come on.

- Oh.

Okay everyone, be quiet. We don't wanna scare Angel.

- Angel?

- Where is the magical pony?

- I don't see any pony.

Mindy? Are you OK?

Mindy?

- Oh, calm down, calm down, calm down.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

- Are you okay?

- I, I see, I know what happened to Angel.

- What? - Uh, last night,

three men, they took Angel.

- What do you mean you've seen it?

- I don't know how to explain it.

I, I, I just, I know what happened to Angel.

Why do I know that? - Wait.

No pony and she's having visions?

What are we even doing here?

- So you're saying we drove all this way for nothing?

Are you shocked? I'm shocked.

- What was I thinking?

What am I gonna do now? Ugh.

- This field trip stinks.

- I'm going to jail.

I'm going to jail for this.

So what exactly are we looking for again?

- Oh, anything that doesn't look normal.

- I don't think Angel is even real.

- No, Mindy would never lie to us.

- Hey you guys, what's this?

- What's that?

- Is that what I think it is?

- What is it, Mindy?

- I think I know where Angel is.

- Yeah, sure.

First a pony, then no pony,

and now a convenient treasure map.

- What, what do you mean? - Yeah. What do you mean?

- Let's see what Mr. McKinley has to say

about your imaginary friend, Angel

and Legend of Catclaws Mountain.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Mr. McKinley!

They took Angel to Catclaws Mountain.

You have to help us find him.

- I gotta take you guys back. I'm sorry.

To be honest, I'm in a lot of trouble.

Oh, this was a bad idea.

I should have never brought you up here.

- What do you mean?

- I owe a lot of money to some very bad people.

I thought that the pony

would lead us to that treasure

and I'd be able to pay them off.

Not now.

- No, no, you have to help us find Angel.

Please. Please.

- Problem solved, Mr. McKinley.

Just gimme my cell phone and I'll tell my parents

you had a flat tire and had to make a detour.

We have to help Mindy.

- I can't do it.

I gotta take you guys back to school.

Mary Beth, I'll have your phone back

if you want it. - Wait, wait, wait, please.

This is our key to making all of our troubles go away.

If we go back now, we're going back to the same problems,

nothing is solved, but this map can help us.

Please, I know if we find it,

you can pay back the money you owe,

and we can get our park back.

- What? - Just look at the map.

- I think they dropped the map by accident?

- Come on, Mr. McKinley. I know we can do this.

- We have to find an angel to find the treasure.

Okay. Okay.

But we're only doing this if we're all in.

If anyone wants to turn around, speak now.

- Find a lost treasure? I'm in.

- Let's do it.

- We're gonna be so rich.

- Girl, you are such a dreamer.

I wanna find this pony. Angel, right?

- Yeah, Angel.

- We'll see if dreams come true, right Mindy?

- I'm in. - All right then.

We're gonna need some supplies.

Mindy, go get some food from your grandma's.

I'm need you guys to rustle up a flashlight, rope,

lots of blankets, lots of water, matches, and hurry up.

They already have a head start.

Okay, let's do it. Come on.

- Okay, let's go. - Let's go, come on.

- Come on, let go. - Come on!

- Let's go!

- I promise you, if I ever get out of this mess

I will never, ever gamble again.

- All right. We made it.

It's that way. - Come on, let's go.

Craig!

Hey, how do you know this, uh, pony's taking us

in the right direction?

- Hand me the map.

- Right. Uh, hold that.

- The map.

Where's the map.

- Uh, I'm sorry, Professor.

I, I, I, must have dropped it outta my pocket.

I must have lost it. I'm sorry.

How are we gonna find the treasure?

- I should have never given you the map. Here.

Well, luckily for you both,

I prepare for everything.

I plan ahead, gentlemen. I plan ahead.

Now, let this be a good lesson.

I'm serious. - Yes, sir.

- It's gotta be here somewhere.

Tie him to that tree.

All right, everybody's spread out. Let's find that marker.

Willie, Craig, look!

- Whoa.

- Wow, would you look at that? - I told you!

Wow, it is true.

We have the map.

All we gotta do is follow the markers,

and tell Craig again why we need the pony.

- The markers and the map will only take us so far,

but the pony will guide us to what we seek.

Beautiful, huh?

- Willie.

- What do you say?

- You know, splitting this gold two ways instead of three

sounds a lot better to me.

- What?

I could never do that to the professor.

You know, if it weren't for him,

you and I wouldn't even be here, and besides,

he's my mentor and he's my best friend.

- Hey, hey. Just think about it.

- No, I'm not gonna think about it.

- Boy Scouts. Geez.

- Mm-hmm.

- You think you can take my share of the treasure, hmm?

Think again.

I should have known better than inviting you in on all this.

How, how stupid of me, you, you,

you have no loyalty, huh?

You go back. We don't need you here, you understand?

- Oh, what, what you think, think I'm gonna leave now?

- Mm-hmm.

- I am not asking you. I am telling you.

- All right. All right.

Yeah, I'll let you guys finish this up,

but if you do find the treasure,

I'm gonna get my share, I promise you that.

Understand?

- Unbelievable. - He wants his share.

Goodbye, Craig.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

How am I supposed to get back?

- No, you're always hustling and scheming.

You'll figure something out. Be on your way.

- So why'd you ask the question?

- I don't know. I was put on the spot, okay?

- You know, so I'm sitting there and she's like,

"You kinda look like Jimmy Neutron."

And I'm like, "Watch it."

Like, that's so rude. - Yeah.

- Are you sure this is the right exit?

Yeah, it's what it says on the map.

- Hey, look at that. - Catclaws Mountain!

Everybody stick together and we have to stay quiet.

- Quiet?

That's the one thing I'm not good at.

- Marty, where are you going?

Uh, I'm gonna check on that truck.

Uh, be right back. - Careful.

- Hey, we don't know if the owner of that truck

is still around or not.

- The engine is still warm. They can't be too far.

- That's a smart move, Marty.

- They don't call me Smarty Marty for nothing.

- Touche. - Let's get going.

- Wait, let me cut the bus off really quick.

- All right. - One second.

Come on everybody, keep up.

Keep up. Stay together.

- This is it. - This, this is it.

Come on. - We're gonna die.

- All right everybody single file. You go on ahead.

- See, do you believe Mindy now?

- It's just an empty trailer. No pony.

Hey Mickey,

I was just getting ready to call you.

- Sure you were.

Look, I want my money, Marcus, all right?

No more, no less. You play, you gotta pay.

Now where are you?

You're not trying to skip out on me, are you?

- No, no, no. I'll have your money.

Just be patient.

- Well, I've been patient.

And if I don't get my money soon,

I'm gonna have to collect in another way.

You understand that, don't you?

- Yes, yes.

Uh, look, I just need a little bit more time.

You know what? I'll double what I owe you.

- Oh, that's interesting.

And how do you think you're gonna do that?

You can't even pay me what you owe me.

- You ever heard of the Legend of Catclaws Mountain?

- Yeah, yeah, so what?

- Well, we almost got it.

We're at Catclaws Mountain right now

with the map on the trail. - Really?

And you expect me to believe that, do you?

I wasn't born yesterday, Marcus, all right?

Stop with the stories.

- I'm serious.

Watch. We're gonna find that treasure.

You wait and see. - What do you mean we?

Who's the we? Who's with you?

- I have some kids on a little field trip.

- Kids?

You know, you're sounding very desperate, Marcus.

All I want is my money, please.

Stop making up these stories.

- You'll have it. - Yeah, well I better.

Do you understand? I'm at the end of my patience with you.

Marcus?

- Mickey?

- Marcus? Hello.

Hello, Marcus? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

- Hey, wait up you guys.

- He wasn't at his place, boss.

- I know.

Hmm. Bruce. - Yeah.

- You ever heard of the Legend of Catclaws Mountain?

- Sure. Who hasn't?

- How much treasure do you think that place holds?

- If that legend's true...millions.

- We're following a breaking news story.

A school bus with several children on board has vanished.

It was last seen on Highway 451 early this morning.

The children were on their way to school, but never arrived.

Authorities are searching the area.

Sheriff Peterson is now addressing the media.

We take you to that news conference already in progress.

- My men are scouring the town as I speak.

If anyone has any information,

please contact our department.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a busload of kids to find.

- Hmm. Isn't our friend Marcus a bus driver?

- Yes, he is. - Hmm.

Pack some equipment, boys. We have a change of plans.

We're going on a trip. - Hmm.

- Uh, where to, boss? - Hiking.

- Hike? Uh I'm not much of a nature guy.

- Neither am I. But we got a treasure to find.

- Mr. McKinley, can we rest for a second?

- Yeah, I'm starving.

- Oh, that's a shocker.

- Yeah, we can stop here for a few minutes.

- Mind if I take a look at that map?

- Yeah. - Here.

You better eat somethin' man.

- See that way there?

- Yeah, it looks like we're on the right path.

I think were here now,

just past there.

- Uh, Mr. McKinley? - Yeah?

- Hello there.

- Hello. - Hey, how can I help you?

- My name is Walter and this is my mountain.

- I'm Marcus. Do you live up here?

- Are you homeless?

- I make the mountain my home.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?

- Uh, well, we're all on a field trip.

- Have you seen some men with a pony pass by?

- No, I haven't. What's your name?

- Mindy. - You live here?

Do you know if there's any lost gold in the mountains?

- Shh.

You be very careful when you say that word.

- What word? - Gold.

Gold, the winds of this forest will carry that word

much further than any other. - Really?

- Gold! - Don't do that!

- What? What's gonna happen?

Gold, gold, gold, gold,

gold, gold, gold, gold!

Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold!

- 38,

39,

40.

Gold?

Gold, gold!

- Gold? Gold. - Gold, gold!

- Gold, gold, gold! - Gold? Gold, gold!

- Guys.

- You shouldn't have done that.

- Ooh, whatcha gonna do?

- I could be a great help with what you seek.

- Uh, we're okay.

Uh, we're fine. Thanks anyway.

- No one knows this mountain better than I do.

- Thanks, but no thanks. Come on.

- Mr. McKinley? - Nice to meet you, Mister.

- Bye, Gandalf.

- I just don't trust him. - Good.

You shouldn't trust anyone. - How did he hear that?

- Don't ask me.

Just keep walking. - All right.

- Wake up.

Wake up.

Follow my voice.

- Walter?

- Come, come, come. Sit.

- Ah.

Was, was that your voice back there? How did you do that?

- It's a secret.

- A secret?

- I'll tell you what.

I'll tell you a secret if you tell me one.

- Okay, deal.

What do you wanna know?

- Why are you really here?

- Well, the truth is,

some men came and stole Angel.

- Angel? - My pony.

- Angel, your pony, What does he look like?

- He's a white pony, brown eyes,

a mark on his right hip.

Sometimes that mark glows.

- Glows? - Yes, it glows.

Angel is magical.

Some people believe he can lead them to treasure.

- Oh, do they now? So what do you believe?

- I believe it's true.

- I see you're just like everyone else.

You care for searching for the gold.

- No, I'm not.

- Okay.

Let me ask you,

if you had a choice of finding the pony or finding the gold,

which would you choose? - Easy, Angel.

I just want him to be okay.

- Oh yeah, that's good to hear.

So tell me, do you know the real story of the treasure?

- I know it's buried and it's somewhere here.

- Eh, you're missing an important part, the real story.

Hundreds of years ago, this place,

This forest in the woods, the land, as far as you can see,

it was just bursting with life.

It was magical. It was balance.

The woods had special people,

had a wizard and his trusted friend, Lordis,

oversaw the forest and the gold.

The forest was magical because of the gold

that was collected in the mountains

and it stayed in the mountains,

and if it was ever moved from its special place,

then the magic would slowly disappear.

The gold was the heart of the mountain.

Now, what happened next was something

that neither the wizard nor Lordis saw coming.

One day, there was an old hungry lady

that was walking through the magical forest.

Lordis saw that she needed help and without hesitation,

he directed her to the hidden village,

and the kind villagers gave her food and shelter.

But sometimes, a kind act can have unforeseen consequences.

- Then what happened?

- Some time during the night, the old lady snuck out

and scoured the village for what she was really looking for.

- Gold?

- Yeah, and it didn't take her long to find it.

- When the villagers awoke in the morning,

the old lady and the gold were gone.

So they asked the wizard and his friend

to help them reclaim their treasure.

They caught the thief quickly.

Much to their surprise,

they were no longer looking at an old lady,

but a beautiful young witch.

You have broken the sacred trust

of the villagers who live in this mountain.

As overseer and wizard of this land,

I banish you from this forest,

never to return.

- I place a curse on your gold.

Your gold and its powers will be lost within this mountain.

- And that was the last anyone saw of the gold.

It simply vanished.

- Your magic forest will slowly die.

And your powers will die along with it.

And you,

your thirst for gold will be never ending,

and it will consume you.

That is your curse.

I curse you!

I curse you all!

But there is hope.

One day, a magical horse

will lead someone to the treasure,

and with a special touch,

it'll be revealed.

Open the treasure,

and the curses will be broken.

Then and only then, the magic force will return

along with your powers.

Mwah.

- And they tried to banish her from the forest forever.

Leave us.

Leave us now. I command you!

Wait,

you can't.

- Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold!

Gold, gold, gold!

Must find the gold! Must find the gold!

- Lordis, come back! Lordis!

- Must find gold!

- How do you know all this?

- Because I was there.

I am the wizard. - What? No way.

Prove it, right here. Prove it.

Do some magical things.

You're a wizard. Do it.

Do it. Do it.

- You know, unfortunately,

I don't have much of my magic powers

left. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- You're just gonna have to believe me.

- Well, you tell

a very good campfire story, Walter.

Well, I better get going before they miss me.

- Ah, One more thing.

Whoever finds that gold is gonna have to make a choice.

- What kind of choice? - A difficult one.

That's all I can say.

- Well, it was nice talking to you, Walter.

- Oh, will I see you again?

- I'll be around.

Oh, Mindy.

Try not to stray too far from the path.

There's certain plant life

that don't like to be disturbed.

- I'll try to keep that in mind.

Night, Walter. Or should I say, Mr. Wizard.

- Still warm. We're getting close.

- Angel was here. - How would you know?

- I can almost see him. He was right here.

- All right, this way.

- All right, hold on everybody.

Follow me. Follow me.

- What are you gonna buy with your gold?

- I wanna buy the Yankees.

- What about you, Eddie? Eddie?

- Where did they go? - I don't know.

They were right behind me.

- They better stop playing around. This isn't funny,

- Eddie, Frankie, stop messing around!

- All right, everybody split up.

Let's start looking for them.

- Be careful not to stray off the paths.

- Of course, don't worry. Find them.

- Eddie, Frankie!

- Eddie, Frankie!

Eddie, Frankie, where are you guys?

Oh, my eyes, my eyes!

- Eddie! Frankie!

- Hi. No sign of Eddie or Frankie.

- What happened to your face? - I, I touched a plant,

probably shouldn't have touched,

sprayed something in my face.

I, I'll be all right. - No, don't rub your eyes.

Just splash some water in it. - All right.

- Eddie, Frankie!

Where are they?

- I just hope they know where we are.

- Knowing Eddie,

they're probably playing another stupid joke.

- Yeah, they have no idea how dangerous this place is.

- Wait, has anyone seen Izzie? - I thought she was with you.

- No, I thought she was with you.

- Izzie, where are you?

- Gold. - What?

- Gold, gold, gold.

Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold.

- This is bad. This is really bad.

- We should just turn around and go back.

- What? No, we have to keep going.

We can't go back now.

Hey, are you okay?

- I'm blind.

- We have to get him to a hospital now!

- No, no, no. We, we have to keep going.

We can't turn back. We've come way too far.

Whatever happened to Eddie, Frankie and Izzie

has gotta be because of that treasure,

and we find that treasure, we'll find them,

I, I just know it.

- Okay.

- There's, there's a bandana in my, in my pocket.

Just tie it around my eyes, all right? We gotta keep going.

- Who's to say we're not lost too?

- We don't even know if we're on the right trail.

- She's right.

- Um, hey guys?

- Hey, what's going on down there?

- Wow. There it is.

- We're definitely on the right trail.

- That's our sign.

- All right then, we keep going.

But from here on out, we stay together.

- Here you go. I got this for you.

- Thanks dude.

- Who are you

and why are you here?

- I'm not telling nothing.

Nobody tells Eddie Bucks what to do.

- If you don't talk, I assure you,

someone else will.

- So do you grow your own garlic?

Two words: toothbrush.

One word, two words. Don't say a word, Izzie.

- I'm not telling you nothing, you mean old man.

That's too bad.

'Cause the first one of you who tells me

what I need to know will be the only one set free.

Frankie, no!

- Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.

You want your freedom, do you?

- I'll tell you what you need to know.

- Don't say anything! - Sh-sh-sh-sh-shut up!

I'm listening. - I'll tell you.

We were following this guy and his friends who stole a pony.

Mindy said that the pony will lead us to the treasure.

- Treasure? - Yeah, yeah,

the treasure of Catclaws Mountain.

The magical pony will lead us to the lost gold.

- Where are they now?

- By now? - Where are they now?

- They're at the top of the mountain!

- Mm-hmm.

- Hey, wait a minute.

I thought you were setting me free.

- You thought wrong!

- Way to go. Now he's gonna get the treasure.

- Nice one, genius.

- Come on everybody, keep up.

Keep up. Stay together.

- Is that Walter? - What? Who?

Walter?

- That crazy man we met yesterday.

- What's his deal? He gives me the willies.

- He told me he was a wizard.

- Yeah, right, and I'm Wonder Woman.

- I talked to him last night. - Wait, what?

- Yeah, at the campsite while everyone was sleeping.

I heard his voice and I talked to him,

and he told me the story.

- What story? - The real story

of the treasure of Catclaws Mountain.

- The real story? - Yeah.

He said a witch cursed this mountain

and everyone in it and the gold long ago,

taking away all the magic in the forest.

The only way we can lift the curse is if we find the gold.

- All right then.

Well, according to this map,

the last symbol should be around here somewhere.

Start looking.

Check everything.

- Hey, hey guys. I, I found it.

- Great.

Where, where do we go now?

- We just need to follow that pony.

- We need help.

- What happened to him?

- Uh, he, he, he, uh, touched some plants.

He got sprayed in the face.

- It's not that bad. At least the itching's gone.

- We're over here, buddy. - Oh.

- Is he gonna be all right?

He's gonna be able to see again, right?

- I'm sorry, Mindy, I don't know.

- Some wizard you are. Can't you fix it?

- I really want to believe you.

- Yeah, I really want to believe you too.

Are are we getting close?

- Maybe. - Maybe?

Well, maybe this was a huge waste of time.

No offense, Mindy, but gold and a magical pony?

Give me a break.

- By the way, how, how did you just like appear like that?

- That's not the question.

Ask me what you really want to know.

- Okay, I'll play. Are you really a wizard?

- Wrong question. I can only give you one answer.

- Really. See? - Where is Angel?

- Help, anybody help!

Help!

- Save it. No one can hear us.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- I have an idea.

Can your hands reach mine? - I think so.

- Okay. - Untie me.

- Okay. I think I got it.

Do me.

Yes. - Yes.

- Hey, over here. - Do you hear something?

- It seems to be coming from someone whom we told

to keep his mouth shut! - Come on guys. I'm sorry.

Just please? I mean, I promise I'll be good.

Thank you.

- Now what do we do?

- We follow him.

He's headed toward the treasure.

That's where we'll meet up with everybody else.

- Let's do this. - Go.

- Whoa, would you look at that?

- What is this? - A clue.

- This has gotta be on the map, right?

- Um.

Wait, do you guys see that?

- See what?

- It says 157 paces that way. - That way?

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's go. Come on.

- Professor, there is nothing here.

- Wait, look.

Shh.

Here's the rock.

Tie the horse to the tree.

That's the rock I've been looking for.

Look at that.

That's the rock. Careful.

According to the legend,

you're supposed to place your hands on this rock.

I don't understand.

Huh?

I don't understand. What am I doing wrong?

- 153, 154.

Angel! Angel!

- I knew you'd come after me.

- I missed you. - I've missed you too!

- Would you look at that. You guys are in big trouble.

- What happened? - We found Angel.

Why did you guys steal Angel?

- Oh, well, to find the treasure, of course.

It's all, it's all here. We've got plenty for all of us.

- So are you asking us for help?

- No, not really.

I've spent my entire life searching for this treasure.

What am I missing?

- You're missing one valuable detail:

the truth.

The true legend says that one day a magical pony

will guide someone to the gold,

and with a special touch then, and only then,

will the chest be open and the curse be broken.

- How do, how do you know all this?

That's a story for a different day.

Do you remember the witch that cursed this mountain?

- Of course.

- There's something I haven't told you.

- What?

- Her name was Chimera.

- No.

That, that was my grandmother's last name

before she got married.

- Yes.

You are a descendant of the very witch that caused all this.

- What, what, what do you mean?

Are you saying my great-great-grandmother was a witch?

- That's exactly what I'm saying.

Witchcraft, it runs in your blood.

I wouldn't be surprised if your grandmother and your mother

have ancient powers.

- Trust me, if my mom was a witch, I would know.

- No.

See, that's the true greatness of a witch,

to be able to conceal who they really are.

You've always been different,

special.

If you search inside yourself,

you'll find that I am speaking truth.

Now come. There's something you must do.

Place your hands here.

The gold!

You did it, Mindy. You did it!

Thank you, Mindy, thank you!

- Yes, thank you Mindy for finding my gold.

- Let mem go! - Get your hands off me!

- I wouldn't do anything if I were you.

You don't want these kids to get hurt, now do you?

- No, okay. Just, just don't hurt 'em.

- I don't want anyone to get hurt, Marcus.

It's up to you.

- Do what I say and everybody'll be fine.

- How did you find us?

- We've been tracking you from the beginning,

right, fellas? - Yeah, boss.

- Oh yeah.

- I like to protect my investments.

- Who are these guys?

- I don't know, but they seem angry.

- These are the guys I owe the money to.

I'm sorry.

- No luck, boss. - Luck, forget about that.

Strap it to the pony. We'll find a way to open it later.

- You can't make Angel carry that down the mountain!

- Oh really?

Well, I'm not gonna strap it on and take it down,

and they're not gonna take it down.

Strap it to the pony. Let's get outta here.

- All right, come on.

Ready? - Yeah.

- Gold, my gold, my gold, my gold!

Let go!

That's my gold!

- I got you. - Ah! Thank you.

- Let go of my gold!

My gold, my gold, my gold! - You gotta open the chest

to break the curse.

It's the only way I can get my power back.

- How?

- Let go of my gold!

- I don't have a key. - A key won't do it.

Only you can. - Marty.

- Let go of my gold. - I'll get it.

- My gold, my gold!

- Believe in who you truly are.

You must believe.

- Let me give you a hand here.

Okay. - Thanks.

- Let's bring him up.

All right.

- They're loose! Go get 'em!

- Maybe I can hold him off for a bit, but you have to hurry.

- Okay, wait.

- Whoa.

- I don't...

What do I do?

Okay, believe, believe, believe, believe.

The gold! The gold!

We did it, we did it, we did it!

- What happened?

How did I get here?

Hello, Lordis, my old friend.

- Walter.

- The gold.

- I think you should leave now.

- Hey Mickey I think he might be right.

Maybe, maybe we should go.

- I think we definitely need to go.

- I'm not gonna argue. - Yeah.

- We broke the curse. We broke the curse.

- You broke the curse.

Hey guys,

what happens to the gold?

We split it, yes?

- That's up to whoever found the gold.

That was Mindy, not you.

You have a problem with that?

- No, no, no, no. We, we're good.

- We're rich! We're rich!

- Wait.

If we take the gold from the mountain,

won't we be taking the magic, too?

- Yes.

Remember when I told you that whoever finds the gold

will have to make a choice?

This is your choice.

- What would happen to you?

- Me and Lordis would be no more.

- Man, I knew it was too good to be true.

- My dad can find a job anywhere,

and moving somewhere else may not be so bad.

I'm gonna miss everyone though.

I wanted to save the park, but not like this.

I, or should I say we? We want you to have gold.

- Thank you.

- Man, I can't wait to tell everybody about this

when I get home.

They're not gonna believe this.

- I know.

Wait 'til people find out, like, you're a witch.

- Can't you just keep that to yourselves, like a secret?

- Why?

You're not gonna turn us into frogs if we tell are you?

- No.

- Yeah,

then we're pretty much gonna tell everybody.

- Come on, we need to get home.

I bet our parents are going crazy by now.

- You're right. We're gonna be in so much trouble.

But I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Sorry, I gave you so much grief. Angel is beautiful.

- See? Sometimes you just have to believe.

Oh, and Marty, thanks for saving me.

I owe you one. - No problem.

Just doing what any hero would do.

Doesn't the hero always get the girl in the end anyways?

- No, no, not always.

- Thank you for breaking the curse.

We are forever in your debt.

- By now I bet every town and every police department

in 100 miles is searching for us.

- Yep. - When they find us,

I'm going to jail for a long time.

- Maybe I can help you with that.

- How?

- Close your eyes.

- Why? - You'll see.

- There's no sure thing in baseball.

- And how can Cy Young winner give up two home runs

at the bottom of the ninth?

He's paid to be a closer.

You know what I mean?

- What?

No, not, not really.

- I'm sorry. Nevermind.

- Okay. What?

Jacob, your eyes, they're better.

Can you see me?

- Uh, yeah, of course I can.

You're kind of standing right in front of me.

- Okay.

What day is it? - Monday morning, duh.

- Earth to Mindy. Start of the week.

- What?

Do you guys remember the wizard and Lordis?

You remember that, right?

- Um, what? What's that?

Is that a new movie or something?

- Um, I've never heard of it.

What are you talking about?

- Nothing.

This is weird. This is really weird.

Oh.

- Lordis thought you might need this.

And remember, embrace who you truly are.

Your friend, Walter.

- This is for you.

- Uh, no thanks. I don't have much of an appetite.

- Open it.

Okay, thanks.

- Where did you get this? Is this real?

- You wouldn't believe me even if I told you.

But it's yours. Take it.

I know you need it,

but you have to promise me you're never going to bet again.

And I mean never.

Promise me! - I promise.

Okay. Yes. - Yeah. Okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Here.

The hero does always get the girl in the end.

- What?

- Marty's got game, man! - Woo!

- What? - Marty, man!

- Come on, man. - How do you do it bro?

- Come on! - Come on, dude, give me some!

- Hey!

- Where did that come from? - Oh, Marty.

- Wow.

- Huh, let's put a bid on this building here.

- All right, you got it?

That's a good one.

That's a good property.

- It looks really good, yeah.

- Mickey, this is for you.

- So what's this?

It's gonna take a lot more than a tuna fish sandwich

and some pudding pops.

- Pudding pops. That's a good one, boss.

- Just open it.

That should be enough to cover it, and then some.

- Where'd you get these?

- Doesn't matter.

- Marcus.

Was good doing business with you.

- You too, Mickey.

- Eh.

I got a hot tip. Three to one, sure thing.

You in?

- No thanks, Mickey. I'm done.

- That's a smart boy.

- I'll see you fellas around.

- All right boys, you made good. Let's divvy it up.

- Yeah. - All right.

- Ladies and gentlemen and kids,

please put your hands together

for our esteemed mayor, Rex Allen.

- Hello. Thanks for coming on this beautiful day.

The good news is I'm not gonna bore you with a long speech.

You're welcome.

So without further ado, Martin, you do the honors.

- Ah.

- Hurry up already. - There's a swing in there

that's got my name written all over it.

So embarrassing.

- Well, welcome everyone.

The park is now open.

- Well, you heard it live, so bring your family down

for the reopening of the park.

This is Riley Wilson with KCBB TV. Now back to our studio.

- Right, so tell me again how this all happened.

- I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

An anonymous benefactor paid off the towns debt

with the condition that the park always stays open

and I get to keep my job.

- We are so lucky. This is crazy.

- And what's even crazier is that they paid it off

with gold coins. - Gold coins?

- Yeah. I don't, I don't understand.

I mean, somebody's looking out for us.

- Yeah. I just wish Mindy was here to see this.

- Aw. - I mean I, you know,

she loves spending time with Angel and my mom.

- Yeah, that she does.

- I see you found one of my books.

- Mm-hmm.

- Cool.

- I guess by now, you know I'm not

your ordinary kind of grandma,

although I've tried very hard to be.

- Grandma, why didn't you tell me that I was a witch?

That you had powers? - Well, I wasn't sure.

Sometimes it skips a generation or two, or even more,

like with your mom.

- So she has no idea that you're a witch?

- No, and I think we ought to keep it that way, don't you?

- Yeah, I guess.

I mean, I thought all witches were evil.

- No, whether to be good or evil is always a choice.

My sister chose the dark path.

She's the one that cursed the mountain

all those many years ago.

- Grandma, I didn't know you had a sister.

I just knew it couldn't have been you

who did those awful things.

- Well, she's long gone and you are the future.

But I still have a little magic left me.

It's a beautiful thing.

- Wow. I wanna be a good witch.

- Oh, I know you do, honey.

Have you cast any spells yet?

- Yeah, just one.

- Angel? - Are you ready to ride?

- I thought you'd never ask.

You two be careful.

- As Angel and Mindy

galloped through the open field,

little did they know that their adventure had just begun.
