Oh, I'm starving!
[whines]
Geronimo will be here in a minute. He's probably in traffic.
[gasps]
But I'm so hungry.
Why don't you order an appetizer?
Yeah.
Ah!
Where is he?
Maybe he got distracted by some new antique shop.
Or a tea emporium.
[cell phone rings]
Geronimo? Where are you?
[gasps] Jail! Get me out of here!

So, what happened?
I was on my way to meet up with you.
[cell phone ringing]
-Yes, Thea, I'm on my way-- -[woman] Go to the third floor
of the Natural History Museum right now.
Uh-- Who is this? Why would I go to the museum?
-It's closed at this hour. -I have the scoop of a lifetime.
Don't tell anyone where you're going, Stilton, or you'll never hear what it is.
[sighs, then line disconnects]
Uh... Hello?
Hello? Anyone there?
[thuds]
Come on, Geronimo, it's only shadows.
And dark corridors.
The archeological department.
Hello?
Who's there?
[stammers]
[groans]
[alarm blaring]
[groans] Huh?
-[groans] -[man] Don't move!
Excuse me, but-- Huh? Whoa.
[chuckles]
[groans]
So, you were framed. Any idea who'd wanna do that?
Huh. Let's see. Sally Rasmaussen.
-Crunchrat, Nogouda, Ratswami... -Don't forget Cheesewheel.
[sighs]
Please figure out what's going on and get me my lawyer.
Don't worry, Uncle G. You'll be out in no time.
-Start at the museum. -I'll get Geronimo's lawyer.
[yelps]
[chuckles]
Thank you for seeing us.
[groans] First of all, you should know nothing was stolen from the museum.
Aside from the gems that were found in Geronimo's pocket.
-He was framed. -[Thea] Can we see the room
-where Geronimo was found? -Please, follow me.
You must understand that the police have been here and collected evidence.
Huh. Look at this cut. Made with some special tool.
Good work.
[device beeping]
I'll send this to Professor Von Volt. It might help us find the real thief.
[Max twitters]
Good job, Max. Here's something the police didn't find.
Ah! Great gouda!
Hmm. Our burglar stole something after all.
-Do you know what was in there? -No.
No, I'll have to conduct an inventory. I'll let you know.
-Did you reach Geronimo's lawyer? -I've got good news and good news.
-Which do you want first? -Good news.
Geronimo's lawyer is on vacation in Mousta Rica.
-How's that good? -Well,
enjoying a well-earned vacation's always a good thing.
-Sea, sand, coconut trees. -What's the point, Trap?
Oh, right, the point.
The other good news is since G's lawyer is away, I've decided to represent him.
-What?! -What?!
Don't worry. Being a lawyer is easy.
All you do is wear a flashy suit and go to school for three years.
I'm just gonna wear the suit.
We are in front of the New Mouse City Museum
with the family of criminal mastermind Geronimo Stilton.
[scoffs] Go away.
Sources tell me the police believe Mr. Stilton may have had accomplices.
Maybe his own family?
Listen, you vulture-- Hey. [grunting]
Thea. Come on. She's not worth it.
[laughs]
There you have it. Geronimo Stilton, petty criminal.
[laughing]
Did you hear that?
What--? Yes, doctor. Certainly, doctor.
Pay attention. Geronimo Stilton is taking the fall for our theft.
[laughs]
Geronimo who?
Stilton. Stilton! That mouse who ruined my career
and turned me into a laughing stock!
-[scoffs] Didn't you do that yourself? -What?
Uh... There's a lot of nice books on the shelf.
With the police focused on the gems Geronimo supposedly stole,
they won't notice the real theft.
Come, we've got a lot to do.
And you, Stilton, you'll soon realize why you were so wrong about me.
[laughs]
So wrong.
[snoring]
Well, well, well.
What have we here? Looks like the kind of guy who sits around drinking tea.
What do you say? Are you a tea-drinking mouse?
Uh... [stammers] Yes. I do like a nice cup of tea now and then.
Professor Von Volt, anything about that cutting tool yet?
Your sunglasses are cool.
I didn't know you were into accessories.
Oh, no, no, not accessories. Necessities.
You'll see. Put these on and watch this.
You see? The cut you photographed has been made by a very specific tool.
A third generation alpha-laser.
Hmm. Very few laboratories are equipped with them.
That's correct, Benjamin. Find the laser, and you might find our mouse.
I've got a list of labs that have purchased alpha-lasers.
Hey. Ratfinger Research. Geronimo did a story on them.
About what a menace Dr. Roseanna Ratfinger is.
-The police shut them down. -Looks like Ratfinger is back in business.
Hmm. And she has a serious motive to frame Geronimo.
-[Benjamin] Here's an address for her lab. -Come on.
Let's find out if she's behind all this.
Stilton, you sure know how to make a cup of tea.
Mmm. Can't believe these aromas. Dry leaves, a pinch of strawberry.
And just the faintest wisp of ginger.
[sighs]
-Stilton, your lawyer's here. -[gasps]
Hmm. Trap, where is my lawyer?
-You're looking at him. -Where?
Ta-da.
[chuckles] Come on. Don't wanna be late for your trial.
[seagulls squawking]
-Huh. It doesn't look like a lab. -[Thea] There.
-See if you can get up there, Max. -[Max beeps]
-But be careful, okay? -[Max twitters]
[Max beeps]
Corridors. Corridors.
[sniffs] Ugh. You smell that?
Smells like rotten sheep cheese. This place must be an old cheese factory.
-[grunts] -Ouch!
You silly, clumsy, useless rat!
Get out of here before you ruin my experiment!
And sweep the floor.
Pfft. Experiment? More like waste of time.
What did you say?
Uh... It's my job to clean up the grime.
[Roseanna] That's right, it is.
That was not my fault.
Not your fault? You made fun of the judge's clothes!
-Who wears a black robe in the summer? -Judges do!
Haven't you ever been in a courtroom? Why did you steal his gavel?
He kept banging it. I was getting a headache.
[groans]
We're never going to see the light of day again. Thanks to you.
Tea?
[cell phone rings]
Thea Stilton.
Thank you, Prof. O'Glyph. That's very helpful.
-What was stolen? -A dinosaur bone.
[device beeping]
[laughing maniacally]
The world's going to be amazed at my genius.
Are you filming this, Ragnard? Ragnard!
[sighs]
What? What's this?
[sighs] I'm afraid you failed again. They're not dinosaurs. They're...
dino-somethings.
Max, get a better angle?
[bleats]
I think you've created dino-sheep.
That's impossible. How could sheep DNA get inside the machine?
-Sheep cheese factory. -Sheep cheese factory.
[groans]
-Get Max out. -Max, get back here.
What's this? A spy! Get him, quick!
[device beeping, then dino-sheep snarls]
Two other spies, over there!
[stammering] Get them! Quick!
[roars]
-I can't leave Max! -We'll come back with the police!
[yelling]
[lock clicks]
[gasps]
He gets one phone call, right?
Hey, it's my phone call.
[cell phone ringing]
Here, my little monster sheep. Enjoy.
She's not answering.
I hope you're ordering pizza.
[phone rings]
Hello? Yes, Thea and Benjamin have a suspect, a Dr. Ratfinger.
-Where are they now? -Her lab.
I tried calling, but they're not answering.
They're in danger!
-What should we do? -I've got a plan.
[Thea and Benjamin grunting]
Let us go. You can tell Ratfinger we escaped.
How's that gonna make me look? I'm supposed to be watching you.
You know she's gonna fail again.
Yeah, but-- [sighs] You're probably right.
-Why do you still work for her? -Eh, it's a living.
[Von Volt] Uh... Excuse me?
♪ It's your birthday, your special day ♪
♪ We're here to celebrate On your special day ♪
♪ This cake is explosive On your special day ♪
♪ It's not my birthday But I'll eat it anyway ♪
I'd rather prove my innocence, but there's no time.
That's right. So, hurry up, okay?
[dino-sheep bleating and growling]
[bleats]
Back off, dino-sheep! You okay, Max?
-You know you won't get away with this. -This time, it'll be perfect.
In a few seconds, the world will see me as the genius I am!
Another failure, Ratfinger?
Does it look like a failure to you?
[growls, then roars]
I'm a scientist...
The guard is busy with Von Volt. Now.
[Trap chuckles] Mmm.
No, not that. Cover your face.
[grunts]
[prison alarms blaring]
Leaving so soon? We were about to have finger sandwiches.
We have to save our family. Help me up.
[grunting]
Geronimo, hurry!
Just leave me here. I'll be fine.
Okay, I'll be back soon.
I was kidding!
[growls]
[stammering]
See this remote?
I'll control the monster with it.
Sit.
[roars]
What?
Uh...
Lie down! Sleep! Uh, calm down!
[grunting]
Let's hop. Together! Hurry!
[grunting]
They're heading towards the center of the city!
So, that's it? That's your plan? Create a monster you can't control?
I never wanted to hurt anyone.
I just wanted to prove to the world that I could create life.
Bravo, doctor. You did it.
If you want us to stop them before they destroy the city,
I suggest you untie us now!
[alarms blaring]
Great gouda! What is this?
[Von Volt] It must be Dr. Ratfinger's latest creations!
They're heading toward the city center! Block the road!
[Von Volt] Now what's the plan?
I can try to fix your remote.
I don't understand. Why is there always something wrong?
Maybe find a new line of work.
[Max beeps]
[gasps]
Benjamin, hurry!
[Geronimo gasps]
Tea and cakes worked on criminals,
why shouldn't they work on a dinosaur and dino-sheep?
-Now if only we had tea and cakes. -Will these do?
-Why do you have these? -I'm not a baker.
It took me 12 tries to make one that busted you out.
[grunting]
[Von Volt] Take that! And this! And one of these!
Well done!
Look!
[roars]
-I have to do something. -Geronimo, don't, it's too dangerous.
Stop!
[roars]
I said stop!
[whimpers]
[devices beep, then bleating]
[gasps]
I did it. I stopped them. Did you see that?
-Uncle G! -Benjamin! Thea!
What's this?
The remote Dr. Ratfinger helped me repair.
It stopped this dinosaur. See? Lie down.
[chuckles nervously] And I thought I made it stop.
What a touching family reunion.
It's time for me to leave and continue my experiments somewhere else.
Are you kidding? I thought you learned your lesson.
Never! I'll keep trying until the world recognizes me as the genius I am!
You'll hear from me soon, Stiltons. So long!
-Benjamin, use the remote. -Block them.
The stolen dinosaur bone has been returned.
Ratfinger Research has been shut down for good.
The creations from the lab have been relocated to a private island
where they can enjoy life and not do any harm.
As for Dr. Ratfinger and her assistant, Ragnard,
they'll do all the experiments they want in jail.
Until next time, this is Geronimo Stilton saying be well and be good.
Mmm! Mmm! These are delicious.
Doctor, you have got to try these sandwiches.
Oh, good, my lawyer's here.
Hi. Trap's the name, lawyering's the game.
Don't worry about a thing. I know this judge.
Don't say anything about his robe, he's got no sense of humor.
[groans]
[Trap] Oh! Are those watercress? I love watercress!
Crustless. Oh, ho, ho. How very...
