-[sirens blaring] -[horn honks]
[tires screech]
[blaring continues]
[calm music]
[rustling]
[Madison] Well, hi there, cutie-pie!
You've crawled a long way from wherever the nearest pond is.
[rustling]
Hey, is this an invasion or just a coincidence?
And where did you come from?
Well, whatever your story is, I'll feed you
and you can rest up before I find you a new home.
Just gotta go ask Mom if she's okay having guests for a few days.
[mysterious music]
All right, are you making the call or am I?
[panting]
Oh, man!
[Fendrich crying]
How do you take a box turtle for a walk and lose it?
That little guy is my only, I mean, best friend!
Oh, this has Sinclair's name written all over it!
Get me back my Lamont, or I'll write "finished"
all over you!
I told you not to take Letitia off her leash
when she's out for her exercise walk!
I'm sure Fendrich has his grimy paws on her.
Morris, if my Letitia isn't in her terrarium by sunset,
I'm firing you and Morris and bringing in the Myrtles!
[calls get cut]
Was he mad?
Do turtles have shells?
Come on. Whoever took Lamont can't have gone far.
Turtles do have shells, right?
[cheeky music]
[ominous music]
I'm thinking salad for lunch.
You two good with that?
[yelps]
Oh, that must be our turtle-taker.
Looks like she has two turtles.
[car honking]
Let's be waiting when she comes out.
Don't attract any attention.
-Ah! -[clattering]
[awkward chuckle]
[Carol] Are you sure you want to take care of these turtles?
I don't want you to take time away
from your report on who really founded the City.
[tense music]
It's just for a few days, Mom, 'til I find them a new place to live.
Thanks for the box.
You're welcome. See you at home.
She's trying to learn who really founded the City?
I've always said it was my family,
but there's never been real proof.
Stay close to that kid, find out what she knows!
And get my turtle back!
My family laid claim to this City long ago,
and no one will prove us wrong.
If she learns something, I want to know it, too!
But your immediate priority is my turtle!
[Madison] There's the pawn shop. There's a store.
There's Mr. Produce's stand. There's another store.
I bet you two haven't seen many cities.
Well, ours is pretty great.
Even if Billy and I haven't figured out who founded it, yet.
I hope you're enjoying the tour.
Oh, you're probably not used to walking this fast.
I'll try to slow down so you can see everything.
Oh! Hi, guys!
I wasn't expecting passengers!
[chuckles] Welcome aboard!
Hand over that box!
No one's gonna hurt these turtles!
Who said anything about hurting turtles?
Look! An armored truck with money flying out of it!
[excited exclaim]
[suspenseful chase music]
[annoyed groan]
[panting]
[grunts]
You want the turtles? [sighs]
Look! An armored truck with money flying out of it.
[mysterious music]
Myrtle? It's Ms. Sinclair.
How's your mother, dear?
Good. Listen, stay by your phone.
I may need you and your sister to hunt down a turtle for me.
[soft eerie music]
[blubbering]
Turtle!
If they both want you,
and they've both come to the police,
then the police are working with them!
[gasps] We can't trust anybody!
Wait. There's one person.
-Thief! -Kidnapper!
-Thief! -Pilferer!
Um... thief!
-You following this? -Definitely not.
You've always wanted to steal from me!
You say your family founded the City
when you know mine did.
And I'll never forget when you took my chocolate pudding
in second grade!
That was a legal transaction.
I offered you compensation for that pudding
and you accepted!
You never gave me compensation!
I've told you a million times, I'll get around to it!
Wait. This thing between you over all these years,
it's all because of chocolate pudding?
Find my turtle, and arrest him!
Find my turtle, and arrest her!
I say you arrest both of 'em and I take a nap.
Nobody's arresting anybody!
Let's try to find the turtles first.
[groans]
[tense music]
Why is every shady person in the City after two turtles?
I don't know, but spy movies have taught me one thing.
When the police can't help, go bigger than the police.
Hi, Mom. Can Billy and I come by with the turtles right away?
[thrilling music]
Hah!
Huh? What are you goons doing here?
[western stare down music]
[thrilling music]
Fun's over. Let's have the turtles.
If you want to hurt these turtles,
you'll have to go through us!
[clanging]
No! We don't want to hurt anyone!
[thrilling music]
[panting]
[thrilling music continues]
[whooshing]
[crashing]
[cheeky music]
[Grizzled] Fun time's over.
I've picked up our suspects. Literally.
[suspenseful music]
-[turtle chomps] -Hey! No biting! Ow!
Whoa!
[sighs in relief]
[ominous music]
[ship horn honking]
Maddy, what are you doing?
There's no other choice, Billy.
It's clear the turtles won't ever be safe
as long as they're in the City.
So we're leaving forever!
Going... wherever this boat is going!
You'll have to finish the City history report
without me, but I know you can do it.
Thanks for everything.
The turtles and I won't forget you.
[crying] Lamont!
Please don't take Lamont!
Return my Letitia to me,
and I'll make you all the cookies you want!
Ugh! Fendrich.
[sobbing] Sin... Sin... Sin... Sin...
Uh... who's Lamont? Who's Letitia?
The turtles are pets belonging to these two.
Really?
[sobbing] Yes, please give me back my Lamont.
[Fendrich crying]
[squeaky voice] Lamont, daddy loves you.
I just found them on their own in the park.
It never occurred to me they might be someone's pets.
And it never occurred to us
that our turtles weren't kidnapped.
[crying] Yes.
[gibbering]
Gone. Lamont.
You won't lose them again?
You'll let me visit them?
You'll be nicer to each other?
[both] Don't push it.
-Oh! -Letitia, so happy to see you.
[sighs] A job well done.
These are napping minutes I'll never get back.
[scoffs] Typical.
I'm calling us a cab.
You guys want to split a ride back to the Arch?
[bright cheerful music]
I'm definitely gonna try not to assume stuff in the future,
and I know the turtles are back where they belong,
but I'm not gonna lie, I'll miss 'em.
If this hadn't worked out,
would you really have left the City forever to protect them?
I don't know.
It would've been an adventure,
winding up wherever that ship was going.
That's a harbor tour boat.
It would've come right back here.
Oh. Then everything worked out perfectly.
