[dramatic music playing]
[Sam] Alcatraz?
So, we're not in San Francisco.
Ugh, I'm gonna wring that Celestial Administrator's nonexistent neck.
[warden] Ha! Kids!
Alcatraz is in the San Francisco Bay,
so there's nothing to worry about.
Except that you don't know about the world-infamous
Alcatraz.
[sniffs] What have we
-here? -[whimpering]
Aw! Who is this cutie?
[whimpers]
Look, I'm sure all the locals
love your well-known, rusty rock pile.
Now, if you can just point us to the ferry to the city,
we'll be on our way.
Mmm.
Of course. I would love to escort you to the ferry.
Right after I give you a personal tour of the island.
I can't let you return to society
without reforming you a little bit, right?
I do love personal tours.
May not look it, but our island
is the most tragic 22 acres in the US.
Huh, wonder what that trophy looks like.
It's gold.
And homemade.
Ooh, there's Block D.
Rebuilt after it burnt to the ground with five guards inside.
Here's the first warden's office.
Poor fella starved to death.
And down there's the workshop
where an accident once took a guard's head clean off!
And also several less clean accidents.
Oh, I've seen these looks before.
Time for this rambling Ronny
to hush up and show you what you came here for.
[eerie music playing]
Top of the line, original flat strap-iron bars.
[chuckles]
Beautiful stuff.
Ooh. [chuckles appreciatively]
These are nice bars.
So this is what a cell looks like.
-[whimpering] -Smaller than I imagined.
Come on, take a peek.
Everybody says it's the last part of the tour.
Don't you mean best?
No.
-[squealing] -[guard grunts]
-Hey! -[guard grunts]
Gizmo, no!
[cell locking]
What are you doing?
We haven't done anything wrong.
But you have.
You're carrying contraband.
-Cute contraband. -[screaming]
-But sorry, rules are rules. -[straining]
And once you break a rule at Alcatraz,
you can never leave.
It is a prison, after all.
-[Gizmo squeals] -Wait! No! Gizmo!
-Give him back! -[Gizmo crying]
And let us out!
-No! -Sam! Sam!
Gizmo, no!
[Gizmo] Sam!
[theme music playing]
[Sam sighs in exasperation]
This is what happens when you go through a portal
without knowing what's on the other side.
Grandpa's plans are always just a plan to make the plan which is not a plan.
Always have a plan. Always have a plan!
Always have a plan.
[scoffs] Yeah, guess saying it three times
doesn't change a damn thing, so...
[wind whooshing]
[wistful music playing]
Find me...
in America.
-Hmm. -[Sam] Elle?
What is it?
Uh, if we don't get out of here,
evil mogwai are gonna take down that city.
We need to escape.
[chuckling] Newbies trying to escape?
[yawning] Endlessly entertaining.
[scoffs] Yeah? Watch and learn, jailbird.
[man] Holy Moses!
Chang! You finally got one of your own in this rat hole.
That boy's Chinese.
[Chang laughs]
Correction, Wilbur. I'm Chinese-American.
Born and bred right here in the Bay.
Greatest city in the world.
Which makes me as American as apple pie, baseball,
and a healthy disrespect for authority.
Guessing you have a healthy disrespect for authority too, if you're here.
Um, actually, I'm a big fan of authority.
My parents and I are in full agreement on that.
[groaning] Oh, my parent's can never know I was here.
Ah, don't worry about them. Parents always come around.
You don't know Sam's parents.
Listen, my old man and I have issues, too.
But he's the only dad I've got, and I'm the only son he's got.
So, what's he gonna do?
I'm sure your parents will feel the same.
Especially since,
[in louder voice] like me, you've been wrongfully imprisoned.
Ah, so you're innocent. That's great news.
[in normal voice] My boat crashed on the rocks about a year ago.
I'm in the, uh...
import/export business.
[scoffs] Of course.
You're a smuggler.
[scoffs] I'm more than that.
Or I will be when I finally get out of here.
-[door clicks] -Speaking of which,
Sam, let's go.
Elle can get you out, too.
What? Why?
[Chang] You? Help me?
Eh, that's cute, kid. But there's a reason
it's taken even someone as charming and connected as me
almost a year to put together an escape plan.
In this joint,
the locks ain't the problem.
It's the guards.
Okay, not sure what that means, but come with us.
San Francisco, and anyone you care about in it, is in danger.
If Elle and I don't save the city, it will burn to the ground.
[scoffs] You're gonna break out of Alcatraz and save San Francisco?
How old are you again?
Sam, come on. Move like you don't wanna stay in prison?
You don't have to believe me, but...
In case you change your mind.
[sighs in exasperation]
[Wilbur] What do you think?
Three-to-one, they'll be caught in five minutes.
-[grunts] -[glass shatters]
Ah, darn.
What was that, back there?
Asking that criminal to tag along.
The last time I let a criminal tag along, it turned out okay.
[scoffs] Come on.
Let's hope Giz doesn't have another [mimicking Gizmo] freakout, before we find him.
-[Gizmo struggling] -Why you are just
the most adorable cuddle bug in the world!
Oh, I've hit the pet jackpot.
Oh!
[eerie music playing]
[warden] Ah, yes. My past pets.
[screaming]
It's heartbreaking losing a fur baby.
But that won't happen to us, will it?
-[squealing] -No, it won't.
[chuckles] I'm never letting you go.
[screams]
Aw, who's even cuter when they're sad?
You are!
[chuckles] Would refreshments cheer you up?
-[door creaks] -[Gizmo whimpers]
[alarm blaring]
There's the next shift. Better get ready.
I'll be back for my "Have a good day at work" snuggle!
[whimpering]
[growling, squealing]
Ahhh!
Whoa!
[squealing]
Ah! Oh! Oh!
[sighing in relief]
Ahhh!
Argh!
No!
[sinister music playing]
Uh-oh.
Let's get our stuff, then get Giz, then get gone.
[mysterious music playing]
Our stuff has got to be in there.
[yelps]
McDouglas, late again.
Uh, come on. Not that late.
[door opens, closes]
[whimpering]
[indistinct squelching]
[straining]
-Ha. -Hello.
Hello.
[both giggling]
[chaotic music playing]
[laughing maniacally]
[grunts]
[laughing gleefully]
[grunting]
[laughing maniacally]
[glass shatters]
[slurping, gnawing]
-[grunts in disgust] -[shatters]
-[objects thudding] -Bleh.
-[shattering, crashing] -[sighs in exasperation]
-[crashing] -[gasps]
[Gizmo] Hey.
Yum, yum!
[sniffing]
[both clamoring]
[both straining]
-[door clangs] -[both grunt]
[both whimper, growl]
[yelps]
-[squealing] -[chomping]
-[footsteps approaching] -Huh?
[warden in sing song voice] I'm back...
[in normal voice] ...for snuggles!
[mysterious music playing]
We can't fight him. He's huge.
You don't have to fight huge.
You just...
surprise it.
[suspenseful music builds to a crescendo]
-[smashes] -[McDouglas grunts]
[thudding]
[suspenseful music playing]
[both scream]
-[retches] -I didn't hit him that hard!
We got a prison break!
-[both] Whoa! -[McDouglas] I need backup!
My goodness, what happened in here?
Somebody's having a case of the nighttime naughties.
[chuckles]
Oh, you feisty rascal.
Where did you scamper off to, hmm?
-[plopping] -Ow!
-Ow! [giggles] -Ow! [giggles]
Huh?
-Ow! -[giggles]
[Gizmo shushes]
-[footsteps approaching] -[warden] Oh!
-Huh? -Well,
-how did this happen? -[mogwai whimpering]
-[sniffing] -[mogwai straining]
Doesn't matter. It's triple the adorable!
[laughing]
-Look at you! Look at you! -[Gizmo gasps]
[warden] Aw.
-[mogwai chittering] -Huh?
Ah, yes.
That's me with my car,
-my old car... -[shuddering]
-[warden] And my first car-- -[Gizmo gasps]
...which was a horse.
[Gizmo] Same guy!
Same guy!
Yep, I'm immortal, just like you.
[sniffs deeply]
-[Gizmo squirming] -I smelled your
sweet immortality, as soon as you landed on my island.
All I ever dreamed of
was a pet that could give me eternal companionship.
All these fellas were just too mortal.
But now, look at my luck!
I've been blessed with a fur-ever litter!
[straining]
[McDouglas] Prison break!
They're escaping!
I'm right here.
[suspenseful music playing]
[grunts]
[both grunting]
[clanging]
[growling]
Elle, look!
For Pete's sake, McDouglas.
Get your head on, and lend a hand.
These guys should be six feet under.
How are they up here?
I think they're the undead.
The un-what?
[growling]
The undead. Not quite dead, not quite alive, just...
[dramatic music playing]
[both] Whoa!
[growling]
[thudding, crashing]
-[thuds] -[grunts]
[chuckling]
Told you the guards were the real problem on this devil island.
-Chang! Oh, thank you so much. -[guards groaning]
-[whacks] -[guard grunts]
Well, I was planning to use you two as a distraction for my own escape.
Ooh! Nice watch.
But, if you're gonna save San Francisco,
I'll let you tag along with me.
-Nifty. -Not a chance.
You wanna escape? You tag along with us.
Ah, semantics.
And we won't escape anything if we don't get to my spot in time.
Get where in time for what?
[whimsical music playing]
Told you, he's got everything figured out.
Ugh.
He pushed over shelves!
You remember when I knocked the guy's head off, right?
[grunts] Right, sure. But he was undead.
Speaking of, those guards?
If you're a jailor at Alcatraz and you die here, you don't die.
You become an undead guardian of the island.
Bound by this godforsaken place's rules and traditions.
-[guards screaming] -[Chang] Some still
look pretty normal, but some look very dead.
Old Wilbur saw McDouglas lose his head in the workshop 30 years ago.
Said he came back the next day, with it on, doing rounds like normal.
Eh, we've seen worse.
Huh?
As long as we can get off this rock alive, we're safe.
Great! But we can't get off the island, without our, uh, pet!
Uh, rare cat-dog. The warden has him.
We don't have time for...
Wait, did you say cat-dog?
I wanna see that.
[chuckling] Like I said,
no one ever leaves Alcatraz.
I was the first.
Starved to death, alone, in the coldest winter on record.
Bet you didn't know that it can snow on Alca--
-[alarm blaring] -[footsteps approaching]
[giggling]
[growls, chomps]
Ahhh!
-[thuds] -[yelps]
Yay!
Come back, my darlings.
Hurry!
-The warden's office is right-- -[Gizmo] Sam!
[Gizmo chittering excitedly]
Gizmo!
Did you have kids?
Ugh, they did not get your looks.
[warden] Nobody leaves this island.
If we can't go, you can't either.
[guards growling]
-[intense music playing] -This way.
[warden shrieking]
[alarms blaring and buzzing]
The east wall. Only three guards in its tower,
so run fast and hope for the best.
Run fast and hope? That's the plan?
Kid, there's no cover, so, yeah.
That's how we get to San Francisco.
[sighs] Foggiest city in the world,
but never where you need it.
We need fog.
[gasps] I can get us fog.
[Gizmo jabbers]
Yes, can you get it?
You can make fog?
We only could have used that a million times before.
-[mogwais laughing] -I can't make it,
but if it exists already, I can move it with...
Grandpa's kite-flying secret weapon.
-[pops] -[whooshing]
[dramatic music playing]
-[gasps] -[Sam] You just aim it
to mix with whatever weather you want. See?
[wind whooshing]
Then you reel it in.
Wow, kid.
Grandpa didn't let us down.
Today.
[wind whirling, whooshing]
-[whooshing] -[pops]
-[warden] I've waited-- -Huh?
...my whole life and death for pets like these!
You will not deprive me of everlasting cuddles!
I suggest we still run fast.
[dramatic music playing]
[guards growling]
-[Gizmo whimpering] -Ahhh!
-[thuds] -[yelps]
-[guards growling] -Gizmo?
Gizmo!
[guard] Where are they?
-I can't see them. -Sam!
[guard] Where did they go?
-Elle? Chang? -[Gizmo whimpering]
[guard] Find them.
-[guard muttering] -Sam!
Where are you?
-[grunts] -[shrieks]
[grunts]
[suspenseful music building]
-[panting] -[all exclaiming]
-[mogwai giggling] -Where's Chang?
I thought he was with you!
He's the only one who knows the way.
I knew it. He abandoned us.
I told you not to trust that con artist.
[warden] No one leaves Alcatraz.
[menacingly] Especially not my fur-ever friends.
[yelps]
-[guard groaning] -[warden] Where are they?
I knew you'd come back for us.
Can't leave without seeing how you're gonna save San Francisco.
-[guards snarling] -This way.
[warden in sing song voice] There's no escape!
[dramatic music playing]
[yells]
[Gizmo yelps]
[both grunting]
-[grunts] -[guards growling]
-Get ready to jump. -Jump?
Into what? Is there water?
Some of us are not good with water.
-Yeah, me! -No, sorry.
We can't see what's down there.
But you can see what's behind us,
so trust me, and jump!
Sam, I can't believe I'm saying this,
but we should trust him.
We stay here, we're dead.
The unknown beats dead any day.
[gulps]
Fine, but I'm closing my eyes.
-Oh, boy! -Not yet. Hold on.
Okay, five...
-...four... -[guards snarling]
-[Chang] ...three... -Ah!
-[Chang] ...two... -[ticks]
Now! Jump now!
-[all exclaim] -[warden yelling]
[all screaming]
[thudding]
[peaceful music playing]
We're not dead. We're not dead!
[mogwais chittering, whimpering]
How did you know the boat was going to be here?
The captain's very punctual,
and a friend to purveyors of moonshine.
Getting him to pass by at the right time? Easy.
Getting word to him? Hmm, less easy. But, hey!
Not bad for a two-bit smuggler, huh?
-[Elle groans] -To San Francisco!
-Mmm! -Hey!
-[scolding] -[chuckling]
[Chang] Do you still have my spare clothes onboard?
[warden] Farewell, sweet immortal furballs.
You were the best pets I never had.
[McDouglas growling]
Oh, McDouglas. Fix your head.
[McDouglas grunting]
Ahhh!
-[splashes] -[McDouglas gurgling]
[Chang] Welcome to San Francisco.
City by the Bay, the Golden City!
Chang's City!
Okay, that last nickname isn't true...
yet.
[gasps]
-What are you staring at? -[mumbles]
I jumped into nothing because of you.
Tell me.
[sighs] Fine.
It's just, um, I've been having these...
silly dreams, where...
my mom tells me to come find her.
In America.
In a building that looks just like that one.
See? That!
That look is why I didn't wanna tell you.
I sound crazy.
You are not crazy, I would never think that.
Also, prophetic dreams are probably
the least crazy thing we've come across in a long time.
You are going to love Chinatown.
Right now, it's only a few blocks,
but one day, I am going to make it so much more.
Stick with me, kids. We can do some great things.
And you could learn something.
-[ship horn blaring] -[laughing exultantly]
You hear that?
We're finally leaving!
Don't celebrate.
The only reason we're leaving Shanghai is you.
This is all your fault.
You better hope we find Sam, Elle, and Gizmo fast,
once we get there.
Well, why wouldn't I hope for that?
You know what?
I'm not talking to you again, until we arrive in America.
[sighs unhappily]
It's been a tough day.
But in time, Fong will talk to you again.
Hmm?
Fine, fine.
We can get to know each other. [mumbles]
Get to know?
I've been married to your daughter for almost 15 years.
You lived with us for 10!
[Fong] Hon! We're not talking to him.
[groans, scoffs]
Guess it's just us then.
Brothers in arms.
I know I made a promise, but... [sighs]
I... I just can't keep it.
Who's hungry?
Chinatown is open all night,
full of great restaurants, great energy, great people...
[laughing]
[eerie music playing]
[cat meows]
[Chang] Something's wrong.
Very wrong.
[whimpers]
[snarling]
[raspily] Caca.
[dramatic music playing]
[watcher chattering] Gizmo.
Here? In my city?
Well, I never...
[theme music playing]
