[runs up to Mr. Ages]
Mr. Ages! Did you see it Mr. Ages? That old snake won't be hunting us for breakfast anymore.
Mr. Ages Hmm no. I suppose he won't. Well at least I know what happened to the weather balloon I asked you to get for me.
Oh, I'm sorry. I was just trying to help make the valley safe.
Mr. Ages The valley is safe enough as long as it remains unknown to the outside world. My boy what have I've been trying to teach you all these months?
Um that it's OK for guys to wear the same underwear three days in a row.
Mr. Ages [puts his hand on Timmy's shoulder]
Well that was just between us. Now what else?
[Mr. Ages and Timmy go on a walk]
I've got to think things all the way through.
Mr. Ages And if snakes go flying through the air, humans might find out about Thorn Valley. And then we might be in real danger.
Mr. Ages From NIMH.
Mr. Ages Let's hope you never find out. Your father saved us from NIMH. We wouldn't be in Thorn Valley if it weren't for him. Jonathan Brisby was a great mouse. And you're his son. You can be every bit remarkable as he was if you think things through. Always see the big picture. [shows Timmy a statue of Jonathan Brisby in the fountain]
[Timmy and Jenny are in the Courtroom on trial]
Tim you left your post, you put us all in danger.
You've got to learn to listen, you always think you know better than everyone else.
I know and I'm sorry. But that doesn't change the fact that Jenny can read.
Mr. Ages Is that true young lady? Can you really read?
Yes. Look, I've been sent here to find you.
Mr. Ages To find us? We don't want to be found. Who would know about us?
My parents to start with.
Mr. Ages And who might your parents be?
Mr. Ages What?! Well I'll be. Two of the lost six.
That's impossible, they were lost when they escaped from NIMH.
[a flashback comes up showing the lost rats escape from NIMH through the ventilation. The rats landed in the basement and took care of each other. Then the rats were recaptured by Dr. Valentine and his scientist assistants getting caught in a net and being caged up, Dr. Valentine laughs]
No, they were swept away into the ventilation system but they ended up in the basement. They stayed there until the injured got better. Just when they tried again to escape, that's when it happened. They were recaptured by Dr. Valentine.
[the flashback ends and it shows Timmy and Jenny back in the courtroom]
Everything has changed in the labs. Dr Valentine is crazier than ever. My parents and the others sent me to find you, you've just got to help.
Mr. Ages I'm afraid you asked too much of us Ms. McBride.
But something terrible is about to happen at NIMH. No one knows what it is. But it has something to do with the next full moon.
Mr. Ages The full moon?
What's taking them so long to decide?
Don't worry Jenny. Mr. Ages says good things comes to those who wait.
I can't wait! Do you have any idea what it's like at NIMH? They're living in cages waiting for the scientist to do, who knows what to them. How could you know. I mean, just look at this place. But no one here ever worries about their family. [looks over the balcony and watches the mice playing in town]
Well I do? I haven't seen them since I came to Thorn Valley.
[gasp]
They're here. [Justin and Mr. Ages walks in the room] The answer's no, isn't it?
Mr. Ages We're very sorry.
The council decided that the risk to Thorn Valley was just too great. We can't go.
I guess I'm going to have to do it myself. I'm not going to let anything happen to my mother and father and that's that! [tries to walk out but then, Brutus blocks Jenny's path]
There are guards everywhere. Watching our every move. We're trapped. And I thought NIMH was a prison!
Mr. Ages [the door opens and Mr. Ages walks in the room]
Um... Ms. McBride. I've made a bed for you in the observatory. I hope you'll be comfortable. Good night children. Sorry to keep you a prisoner. [walks out of the room and closes the door]
I've got to get out of here somehow. Of course it would be a lot easier with some help.
Oh well. They just don't want you telling anyone on the outside about us. Wait a second? How did you know about Thorn Valley?
[gathers clothes and ties each one into a rope]
When I was little, I remember a mouse in the cage next to ours telling my parents how the rats that escaped from NIMH settled in a place called Thorn Valley. And if any of us ever escaped we should promise to go there and ask the rats for help. Yeah right!
But how did you ever find it?
I remember him saying, it was south, by south, by south.
You know I've forgotten, but I think that was his name. How did you know?
[pulls up a letter and reads it]
Martin's my brother. My moms letter said he disappeared. She had no idea what happened to him.
No! Martins at NIMH? They captured him! Is he alright?
[ties off a rope of clothes to the balcony]
I hope so. Besides, they just took him away right after that.
Wait! Maybe if I tell Justin about Martin I mean... I could try to.
Tim. You've got to have the courage to follow your heart. I'll say hi for you when I get back to NIMH. [begins to climb down the clothes rope]
You mean when we get there. I have to save my brother.
[Jenny smiles]
Mr. Ages Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm! [runs out of the door and Brutus wakes up]
Yow! What in the name of Nicodemus?
Mr. Ages She's gone into the canal! And Tim is with her.
Doh! Get the others! I'll catch them at the bridge! [runs over to the bridge and sees the saltshakers floating and grabs both of them] Okay! Party's over! What? Huh, What the... Well what do you know.
We've got to stop them! For Thorn Valleys sake! Spread out along the canal, they wont get far!
[Justin and the mice run around, meanwhile up in the tree, Tim and Jenny in the basket open the trash can with three helium balloons floating their basket into the sky. And Justin looks at the trash can]
What? Well I'll be.
Um... You sure you've flown one of these things before?
Ah hundreds of times. From the ground.
If we die, I'm going to kill you.
We're not gonna die. We're on a mission.
[They fly high up in the sky]
Don't worry mom and dad! I'll save you! Even Dr. Valentine can't stop us!
I gotta admit. The view is not too shabby.
TA Timmy and Jenny
[are about the kiss, when suddenly, their flying balloons are attacked]
Ahh!
TA Timmy and Jenny
[the flying balloons are attacked again]
Ahh!
[looks up and sees a hawk] [gasp]
Hawk!
[the hawk dives down at the balloons and pops one of them causing Timmy and Jenny to float down fast and Jenny screams. Their basket tips over and Jenny grabs Timmys foot]
Hold on!
[the hawk dives at them again and pops their second balloon and fall faster. Timmy and Jenny screams again]
Hang on!
He's coming! He's coming!
[Then Cecil the caterpillar climbs out of the tree hole and sees Timmy and Jenny falling forward down and sees the hawk diving after them. Cecil screams]
He's after me!
[Then the Hawk pops the third and last balloon and Timmy and Jenny scream. They safely land but Tim's foot gets caught in the vine]
Whoa! What a ride!
I told you! If we die I...
Not for long. [helps Timmy out of the vine and on the ground] Anymore bright ideas?
[the both run in and the hawk dives for them]
Hurry Tim! In there!
[They run in the hole of the tree and the hawk tries to kill them, then Cecil blows the log making awful noise to the hawk and the hawk flies away]
And don't come back! [claps his four hands]
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Tim, anything around here look familiar?
[They look around the dark forest]
Nope.
We'll never get to NIMH. Before the full moon. My mom and dad are doomed.
[Cecil eavesdrops on Tim and Jenny's conversation]
Poor Martin. Hey! we could look for the great owl. That's what my mom said to do.
[thinks up an idea]
Birds! Bugs! And Beasts! Stir your stuffs! Come and see the great owl! I don't care if you wear flesh, fur, fins, or feathers! You got a problem! The owls the Bible with the answer.
[Tim and Jenny runs over to the tree where Cecil the caterpillar stands. Tim looks up at the tree and climbs up. Cecil grabs Tim's tail with his stick and pulls him down]
Hey not so fast short stuff. The way it works is this. You want something from the owl. You've got to have something for the owl.
How about this. [pulls out his slingshot out of his vest]
A twig? Ha! Where in the forest can you bring a twig? What's next? A leaf? Some dirt? Beat it kid! Go find a nice trap to play in!
The name's Cecil. I'm the owls, spokes bug you might say. You wanna see him, you gotta deal with Ow! Hey!
[steps on his shoe]
The owl! Now!
Easy on the tootsie, tootsie! I've paid good money for this pedicure. In there. Mention my name and you'll get a good seat.
[climbs up the tree]
I'm going in.
Martin, you're back to your old self. I've got my brother back.
Sorry, hero. I don't know what came over me.
Forget it, Martin. And don't call me hero.
Why not? You single-handedly saved Thorn Valley.
Mr. Ages Martin is correct, Timothy. The prophecy of Nicodemus came true. You have, indeed, fulfilled your destiny.
[Jeremy and Cecil uses to a added to the statue of Jonathan and Timmy. The mice cheers]
It's me.
Dad would've been proud, hero.
