I know we can catch it.
What's your beef with me, Dr.
Brauer?
Psychiatric patients won't lower
the property values.
Well, until something bad
happens.

happens.
Then maybe the state will
finally take our proposal
to shut down the Meskwaki
Hospital seriously.
Mallory came back.

Hey.
-Stacy, good morning. -STACY:
Mm.
No, bad morning.
My baby Rhode Island Red,
Cordelia,
hasn't laid an egg in days.
She won't wake up.
Whatever you planted in your
yard,
it's poisoning everything.
(snoring lightly)
I'm mulching.
-Oh, you're mulching? -Mm-hmm.
-Oh, you're mulching? -Mm-hmm.
Jennifer Miller said her prized

He got an earful in the kitchen
this week.
Look, I'm going to take care of

And I promise you,
I I did not do that to your
front door.

BOTH: What are you doing out
here?
I asked you first.
I asked you first.
You go.
(phone buzzing)
You look like you're making a
$30 brunch
at a hipster coffee shop.
at a hipster coffee shop.
Yeah, okay. Well, I think that
Thimbletack is a frugivore.
They eat berries, morels and
thistle.
They eat berries, morels and
thistle.
I don't know, it's weird though,
'cause
the leaves are falling super
early.

The flowers are dying, too.
Stop being so nice to that
thing.
It killed your mice.

It broke my arm.
It was about to stab me with
scissors.
If you lost your best friend,
you'd be upset, too.
If you lost your best friend,
you'd be upset, too.
Show some compassion.
Okay? Mulgarath killed Lucinda.
Yeah, and I left a little
warning
Yeah, and I left a little
warning
so everyone can know what Dr.
Brauer really is.
No, Jared, if you poke a bear,
it'll bite your whole head off.
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
Who's blowing up your phone?
It's Calliope. She wants to
talk.
Don't be such a simp, dude.
I don't know. I mean, she seems
nice.
You can't trust these creatures.
We need Thimbletack to help us
stop Mulgarath,

everyone.

He's not a damn pet.
He's a prisoner.

You two got up early this
morning.
You two got up early this

Oh, Jared, Dr. Brauer called for
you.
Anything I ought to know about?
Yeah, he's an ogre.
You say that about every
therapist.
You called Dr. Malone an Amuse
Douche.
You called Dr. Malone an Amuse
Douche.
Mm-hmm.
And Dr. Peyton an Amuse Douche
Two, The Sequel.
-Yes. -Mm.

MALLORY: Mom, my registration

Invitational,
it's-it's not online yet.
I don't control the Internet,
sweetie.
I don't control the Internet,
sweetie.
Okay, but the deadline is today,
and if I'm not registered, I
can't kick Bree's ass.
Try and remember it's a game.
That's what parents say to kids
who aren't very good.
-HELEN: Hey. -You know, you can
have two broken arms.
(moans mockingly)
I'll resubmit the forms again.
I'll resubmit the forms again.
Okay, because if I win this
meet,
Valentina will have to train me
and then I'll be back on track.
College. Olympics. Paris.
College. Olympics. Paris.
Wow, you just can't wait to get
away from us, huh?
No, Jared.
No, Jared.
Just you.
Try to remember why you started
fencing in the first place.
Yeah, I know. Lucinda's story
about Long-Worm, whatever.
Yeah, I know. Lucinda's story
about Long-Worm, whatever.
You mean Lorengorm?
-Yeah, him. -Come on.
-Yeah, him. -Come on.
-Mom read us the story every
night. -HELEN: Mm-hmm.
You know,
"The yilty burong Lorengorm
was the last good knight of the
Elves."
BOTH: "The Ogre King came toring
storm
"to tear asunder the kragedon
frollip.
"With a sword of peach and
heffelee,
"Lorengorm cut him down.
The best lolliroost cheered and
danced"

danced"
Come on.
"For I am the yilty burong
Lorengorm,
"and I will fight thee valiantly
'til victorious mintheral day."
(cheering)
Yeah, Mallory!
-Whoo! -Yeah!
-(clatter upstairs) -(distant
growling)
-(clatter upstairs) -(distant
growling)
Did you weirdos rescue a stray?
Um, it's probably just the
pipes.
-Hello. -Yeah, yeah, the pipes.
Hey. What are you kids up to
today?
Just the usual.
Willful destruction of property,
assorted shenanigoats.
assorted shenanigoats.
Yeah, so, uh, don't come
upstairs.
-Love you. Bye. -Bye. -Bye.
Bye.
Still no registration, Mom.
Ask the yilty burong Lorengorm.
-(sighs) Thanks. -Mm-hmm.
-(sighs) Thanks. -Mm-hmm.
Where's the skillet?
(pans clatter)
We creature-proofed it
to keep the nasties out
and our little pest in.
and our little pest in.
Yup. Lucinda called it a
boggart.
Apparently it's an angry
brownie.
Apparently it's an angry
brownie.
I drank an angry brownie once.
It gave me explosive diarrhea.
Dude.
Shall we?
Shall we?
No, no, no. How did he get out?
Wait.
(grunts) When I get out of here,
I'm gonna hide all your matching
socks.
How do you like that?
Sneaky son of a bitch.
I don't know why Lucinda thought
he could help us.
Because we were the closest of
close.
Best friends for forever.
Why do you think I've been so
stabby and so awful?
Because without Lucinda, my rage
is colossal.
Because without Lucinda, my rage
is colossal.
She was generous and faithful,
and you Graces are just ever so
ungraceful.
and you Graces are just ever so
ungraceful.
He has bars like an '80s rapper.
Ah! I hate rhyming.
Ah! I hate rhyming.
It's a brownie/boggart obsession
that gives me great sadness.
Bet you guys thought I was gonna
say "depression."
Bet you guys thought I was gonna
say "depression."
Didn't you? Well, I didn't,
frickin' flesh-puppies.
Are you gonna keep him?
I could get ten racks for him on
the dark web.
I could get ten racks for him on
the dark web.
Using Firefox to hide cookies
from your parents
is not the dark web.
Lucinda said to find the pages
and put the Field Guide back
together.
and put the Field Guide back
together.
We can't let Mulgarath get it.
Okay, listen up, you freakish
hairless giants,
you've got it all wrong.
Lucinda's alive.
you've got it all wrong.
Lucinda's alive.
Somewhere. I have to help save
her, but
I'm-I'm sort of slightly
I'm-I'm sort of slightly
very m-morbidly petrified
of leaving the safety of
Spiderwick. (chuckles)
Aw. I think he's agoraphobic.
Aw. I think he's agoraphobic.
Little man's messed up like us.
He's nothing like us.
Look, if Lucinda's out there,
shouldn't we try to help her?
Look, if Lucinda's out there,
shouldn't we try to help her?
Lucinda is dead.
He's using you
and you're too nice to notice.
If he doesn't want to help us
find the pages
then I guess he can just stew
in here forever.
Come on, let's get out of here.
(footsteps receding)
If Lucinda is really out there,
help us find her.
Please.
THIIMBLETACK: Okay, truce.
For Lucinda.
(doorbell rings)
Hey.
Thanks, I will come in.
I thought we were just sparring.
We're training a little
differently today.
Working on your motivation.
Working on your motivation.
HELEN: Hello, ladies.
Hi, Ms. Grace. I'm Bree Kent.
Hi, Ms. Grace. I'm Bree Kent.
I think you know my dad, Tanner.
Oh, yes. Henson's number one
realtor.
You've seen the ad.
It's on every bench in town.
Well, Mallory and I hoped we
could have some people over.
Nothing big.
Nothing big.
I wanted to introduce her
around.
HELEN: Well, I-I think, uh,
HELEN: Well, I-I think, uh,
some light to moderate
socialization sounds perfect.
(both chuckle)
Great. Come on.
Great. Come on.
(sighs)
Kids used to come to Spiderwick
to party all the time.
Yes. Okay, try these.
Hey, so I saw a photo
of Valentina with a young
Lucinda,
but the maestro looked the same
exact age she is now,
which obviously is impossible.
So was it her mother or what's
going on?
What's Valentina's issue with
me?
What's Valentina's issue with
me?
Uh, Valentina thinks you're
talented.
Uh, Valentina thinks you're
talented.
But tragically uptight.
When was the last time
you had a for real party?
you had a for real party?
Mmm, watchingLove Island
with friends over Zoom doesn't
count.
Okay. I'm focused.
Okay. I'm focused.
You're a proficient fencer,
but there's no passion in your
game.
So desperate to win. Where's
your fun? Huh?
I also needlepoint.
(scoffs) It's summer.
Let's have a good time.
Let's have a good time.
There's gonna be hot boys
and hot girls,
and one hot non-binary person,
and one hot non-binary person,
but I think they're boo'd up.
Now get your butt over here.
Oh, no, I don't do makeup.
Only because you don't know how.
I've put on mascara before.
I've put on mascara before.
Uh-uh.
Mascara isn't "put on."
It's finessed with poise.
(scoffs)
May I?
Fine,
Fine,
but I still think that makeup
is a corporate cash grab
that plays on women's
insecurities.
that plays on women's
insecurities.
Yes, it can be a magnifying lens
for the male gaze.
But it's also a weapon,
and I choose to wield it with
the same precision
and I choose to wield it with
the same precision
as my sword.
I read once that it's actually a
survival mechanism
to hate your own face.
(scoffs)
Whoever said that
didn't know how to use primer.
didn't know how to use primer.
I amplify the features I like.
The flecks of gold in my eyes.
The flecks of gold in my eyes.
And hide my self-perceived
unflattering attributes.
Like contouring my philtrum.
You wouldn't put on a name tag
and leave it blank.
This is my mission statement.
It's just some eye shadow.
It's just some eye shadow.
I am doing this for your own
good, Mallory Grace.
Boop.
Boop.
CROWD (chanting): Save our kids!
Save our town!
Save our kids
TANNER (over loudspeaker): A
patient just escaped.
This institution is not safe!
Save our kids! Save our town!
Save our kids! Save our town!
Now, what is this? Tanner!
Peacefully demonstrating.
CROWD: Save our kids! Save our
town!
CROWD: Save our kids! Save our
town!
What's going on? What are you
doing?
They're disturbing the patients.
Sick and violent patients
who constantly threaten the
community.
-These people are dangerous.
-They're not dangerous!
My son has seen countless
therapists
and is finally thriving because
of Dr. Brauer.
You're the only one who thinks
so.
Look, I just took the job here
as librarian,
Look, I just took the job here
as librarian,
and I have not seen one single
example
of a patient being dangerous
or causing trouble.
or causing trouble.
Your aunt just escaped.
Okay, did she harm a soul?
This guy is such a hypocrite.
This guy is such a hypocrite.
You think these patients are
dangerous?
This guy is the only one here
who's been suspected of murder.
We have 10,000 signatures.
That's enough to get a hearing
at the next city council
meeting,
and I will shut you down.
Don't let him fool you.
I know some patient here killed
my wife.
Oh, my God. Let me see. Are you
okay?
Does it hurt? Oh, you're
bleeding.
-I am? -Yes.
-I am? -Yes.
Here, I got something.
Hey.
Hey. There.
Come here, come here. Come here.
It's okay.
Sorry.
You really care, don't you?
You really care, don't you?
Yeah, he's a bully and you're
doing
everything you can to help.
everything you can to help.
All this attention
could ruin everything I'm trying
to do here.
I just want to make this town
better.
Hmm.
You are.
Come on.
Let's get you cleaned up.
(film projector whirring)
(film projector whirring)
It's a perfect elf
circle.
Cortinarius violaceus.
The violet webcap.
(chuckles) In Germany,
they believe the rings
are caused by witches
celebrating Walpurgis
Nacht.
are caused by witches
celebrating Walpurgis
Nacht.
On the Faroe Islands,
they tell tale
that if you step in the
circle,
you'll be cursed to dance
until you die of
exhaustion.
The most common lore
is the circle
The most common lore
is the circle
is the only way to enter
the hidden pasturages
of the elves.
I hope the curses aren't
true.
SIMON: Okay.
Thimbletack told me he thinks
this is where Lucinda went.
She made some deal at the Goblin
Market
and now she's stuck with the
elves.
(phone buzzing)
-I'm sorry. -JARED: Wait, wait.
And we're supposed to believe
Humblebrag because why?
Because Thimbletack told me
where four vaults are hidden in
Henson.
where four vaults are hidden in
Henson.
Check it out, there's four spots
around Henson to investigate.
around Henson to investigate.
That's Meskwaki.
Mm-hmm. And the old
auto-factory.
HATCHER: And that's Joey
Shuham's house.
How do you know where Joey
Shuham lives?
G-ma's in Joey's mom's book
club.
I thought G-ma just watched
Jeopardy.
They just readLittle Fires
Everywhere. I've--
Okay, guys, guys, listen.
One of these vaults
has Spiderwick's page on elf
circles.
has Spiderwick's page on elf
circles.
If we can grow one, then we can
find Lucinda.
It's so obviously a trap.
You can't be suspicious
of everyone and everything all
the time.
That's Claire River Bridge.
That's Claire River Bridge.
That's where Arthur Spiderwick
said his brother
was eaten by a troll.
Jared's pessimism is my jam.
Jared's pessimism is my jam.
Damn it! Simon, I told you,
if you won't ghost Calliope, I
will.
if you won't ghost Calliope, I
will.
Jared
It was Dad.
I was trying to ask him for
advice,
but you know, he's always busy
rehearsing his play.
(exhales) Okay.
We need to find the pages before
Mulgarath.
We need to find the pages before
Mulgarath.
We have the four vaults.
We have to at least try.
JARED: We should split up.
Groups of two.
JARED: We should split up.
Groups of two.
If one group gets eaten, or
cursed
the other will be able to
carry on.

ragers
when Spiderwick was abandoned,
but it's actually happening in
real life.
What's up?
What?
JARED: All right, well, we have
to go.
I call Emiko. You can take

You used to be the best time
ever.
What, like when I pretended to
be Lorengorm?
(laughs)
Do you remember when we used to

The three of us?
Sneaking slices from Antonio's.

HELEN: Jared Adam Grace.
Why does it always have to be so
difficult with you?
You tagged Dr. Brauer's car?
You tagged Dr. Brauer's car?
It was me. I tagged the Prius.
I know my son's work, Emiko.
No, see, um, I was scamming this
guy Eli,
saying that I could get him
15,000 Instagram followers
saying that I could get him
15,000 Instagram followers
in swap for a Prada fanny pack,
and when my moms found out,
Dr. Brauer told her to suspend
all my socials.
Dr. Brauer told her to suspend

So I tagged the car and I was
gonna blame it on Jared.
I mean, have you seen his art on

This kid's got skill.

Elephant. What was it saying?
-Uh, "I'm-I'm not irrelephant."
-Yeah.
-Uh, "I'm-I'm not irrelephant."
-Yeah.
Jared was actually taking me
here
to apologize to Dr. Brauer.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Well,
go and find him.
(sighs)
Huh.
-Ah. -(cheering)
-Ah. -(cheering)
Attention, everyone!
It's time to play rock the
house.
It's time to play rock the
house.
Okay, I don't think I know that
one.
It's kind of a Spiderwick thing.
It's basically our version of
seven minutes in heaven.
You pick a name and go into one
of the bedrooms
And we see if you can make this
old piece of crap rock.
We came up with the name before
we knew you lived here.
No disrespect.
No. No-no disrespect found.
-Sounds fun. -Well, since you're
our host,
-Sounds fun. -Well, since you're
our host,

utterly wrong idea that I need
to have fun.
(laughs softly)
Bree can be intense.
Bree can be intense.
She draws a crowd, eating all my
freeze-dried strawberries.
Well, no one wants to get on her
bad side.
She made Dan Yang cry with a
look.
(exhales) Poor kid.
(exhales) Poor kid.
He's the assistant vice
principal.
(chuckles) Geez.
(chuckles) Geez.
What is her deal?
Um
Um
Her mom was killed when she was
ten.
Shut up.
Yeah. Uh, they thought her dad
did it for a while,
but they never found a body.
That's when she started fencing.
That's when she started fencing.
She's an amazing fencer.
She's an amazing fencer.
-She said the same about you.
-(laughs softly)
I know she didn't, though.
I know she didn't, though.
She's told me what she really
thinks of me.
I'm not nearly good enough.
Inadequate.
Inadequate.
Well, I think you're plenty fun.
Well, I think you're plenty fun.
(laughs softly)
Hey. I have an idea.
Why don't we jump up and down,
Why don't we jump up and down,
give those sycophants something
to talk about?
So, you've been up here before,
huh?
It's the best way to get Bree
to take her foot off your
throat.
I can think of a better way.
(door opens)
HATCHER: The auto factory's been
abandoned for decades.

My dad used to be on the line,
but after it closed,
he couldn't find any work.
he couldn't find any work.
Yeah, I don't know how we're
gonna find a nazar
under all this rust and junk.
I mean, what is this, a
Hatcher?
Hatcher?
(gasps, stammers)
Geez.
Easy there, Turbo. (chuckles)
Easy there, Turbo. (chuckles)
I'm sorry. (panting)
-I could've really hurt you.
-Pretty unlikely,
but that iron is giving me some
serious fits.
but that iron is giving me some
serious fits.
Right, sorry, sorry.
Um
We shouldn't talk.
You knew I wasn't human.
You knew I wasn't human.
Okay, yeah, sure, but you didn't
say that your dad was Mulgarath.
(scoffs) He's not my dad.
(scoffs) He's not my dad.
Yeah, well, then what is he to
you?
This whole area used to be a
forest,
with 600-year-old conifers that
kissed the sky.
with 600-year-old conifers that
kissed the sky.
But humans replaced it with

And when the factory wasn't

people just left its cancer here

I guess I thought

H-Hey! Get away from him.
Hatcher. It's fine, it's fine,
it's fine, it's fine!
-(sizzles) -(gasps)
Like I said.

Calliope, wait

Sorry for leaving you alone,
Sorry for leaving you alone,
but I found the vault. Come on.
I've been gathering all the
facts
about how essential Meskwaki is
to Henson.

to Henson.
I refuse to allow Tanner to shut
this place down.
-And then I saw this. -(sighs)
-And then I saw this. -(sighs)
The founding of Henson?
Do you know the true story?
Well, I grew up in Carlsbad,
near San Diego,
but I believe it has something
to do
with the feast of the Pentecost?
with the feast of the Pentecost?
When Henson was founded in 1873,
When Henson was founded in 1873,
the native Meskwaki Tribe warned
them not to settle here.
-Mm. Hmm. -The land belonged to
a demon.
-Mm. Hmm. -The land belonged to
a demon.
A wendigo.
A beast with an insatiable need
to consume.
Hmm.
Hmm.
-(soft tap) -(sighs)
Well, they, uh, they obviously
didn't listen.
Well, they, uh, they obviously
didn't listen.
(chuckles) No.
Like you said, they celebrated
the feast of the Pentecost.

the feast of the Pentecost.
Also called "feast of first
fruit."
They gathered apples and
cherries
They gathered apples and

and peaches and Juneberries.
-Ooh, I love Juneberries.

HELEN: They hunted elk and
caribou.
But when the meal was-was over,
the people just kept on eating.

They couldn't stop.
They kept on consuming until
their stomachs burst.
They kept on consuming until
their stomachs burst.
-Over 200 people died. -Huh.
HELEN: Some think it was mass
hysteria.
Others claim a local baker
poisoned the fruit tarts
-in order to eat the dead. -Hmm.
-in order to eat the dead. -Hmm.
HELEN: And, uh, some say it was
the devil.
HELEN: The Meskwaki intervened
and saved hundreds of lives.

And they founded the hospital in
their honor.
-This story isn't on the plaque.

The city council should hear
this,

so many people.

The best way to fight Tanner's
fears and lies is with facts.

So, you're doing all this for
me?
You need help.
And I'm really sorry about your
car.
(laughs softly)
I already told you, I don't care
about the car.
I already told you, I don't care

But I do genuinely care about a
good friend.

I hope Jared and Emiko's apology
was sufficiently contrite.

What apology?
(creatures chittering)
JARED: All right, there it is.
Yeah, I'm good here, kid.
Yeah, I'm good here, kid.
I figured out the last vault.
Yeah, and I got your back.
You know you didn't have to do
that before, right?
Lie to my mom.
You were facing 30 years to
life.
Hey, I had it under control.
Please, you're still bowling
with bumpers.
No one fibs like me.
No one fibs like me.
-Really? -Mm-hmm.
You are the worst. (chuckles)
We all know you're not friends
with Drake.
-Hundo percent sure? -You're a
no one from nowhere
who crushes Flamin' Hot Cheetos
on her mango.
(sighs) You see, the secret to
telling a great lie
is leaving a hint of truth.
If you go too big-fish,
then people can practically see
your nose grow.
Like Hatcher telling that story
about Joey Shuham.
Wait, he was lying?
Hatcher thinks it hurts me to
know that he has other friends.
Does it?
Hatch can't help it.
-He's ridiculously charming.
-Hmm.
-He's ridiculously charming.
-Hmm.
Think it offends me more that he
thought I wouldn't notice.

I got your message.
Oh, you know, I just felt so
sorry

sorry
about the whole chicken fiasco.
I hope you like Linzer tarts.
Oh, I-I don't eat processed
sugar.
Oh. No, no, this is
(clears throat) this is all
organic stuff.
I, uh, macerated the Juneberries
myself.
They look lovely.
-Maybe just one. -(chuckles)
It's an old recipe.
150 years old, to be precise.
150 years old, to be precise.
-Mmm. -It was the simplest way
to poison everyone in Henson
during the feast of the first
fruit.
They just ate

Until they died.
Back then, I transformed myself

-Gretchen Laurent. -Mm?
-I gathered up -Mmm.
all of those overstuffed
bodies
-Ah. -Mmm. (laughs softly)
-Ah. -Mmm. (laughs softly)
and ground them into the most
succulent meat pies.
It's been a long time since I've
had a meal like that.
I'm hungry. Practically
starving.
I'm hungry. Practically
starving.
-(grunts softly) -Now, I could
use
this same recipe for my next
feast,
but the problem is, it only
killed 200
but the problem is, it only
killed 200
of those corrupt souls.
And this time, I've got my
sights set on everyone.

And guess what, Stacy?
Hmm?

You get to be my amuse-bouche.

It has to be in the circle

EMIKO: Yeah, b-but
-JARED: He got out? -Oh, hey,
Jared.
-(shouts) -SIMON: Jared, no, no,
no!
THIMBLETACK: What is your
problem, tooth flosser?
THIMBLETACK: What is your
problem, tooth flosser?
You know, I can't really do much
to help Lucinda
-from under a basket. -Let him
go.
-from under a basket. -Let him
go.
-Okay? Only Thimbletack can help
us grow the elf circle.
-(shouts, grunts)
-(Thimbletack grunting) -He
translated the page?
No. I did.
No. I did.
Do you remember how we based our
twin language
on all those words from
Spiderwick's Lorengorm Story?
Yeah, yeah,"Yilty
burong?Kragedon
frollip?"
(Thimbletack shouts)
Okay, well, they're not
nonsense.
All right? They're Faery.
All right? They're Faery.
Jared, this whole time, we were
speaking
a pidgin version of the
language.
HATCHER: Simon's almost done
translating the page.
It looks like some kind of
potion.
(Thimbletack grunting)
And Thimbletack taught you how?
THIMBLETACK: I-I didn't get to
go to what you would call
school.
And because of that, I can't
read Faery words.
-It's really sad. -I'm the same
way, kid.
Functionally illiterate in
Japanese.
So how'd you figure it out?
So how'd you figure it out?
After Mom reminded us this
morning, it just clicked.
The elf circle's almost done,
okay?
The elf circle's almost done,
okay?
We have, uh, cocoa shells,
cotton seeds,
worm castings and bee pollen.
Let him out. Trust me.
Let him out. Trust me.
THIMBLETACK: Jared, please.
Please. For Lucinda's sake.
There is nothing to fear.
All we need is one human tear.

We're not getting married. I

Okay, Chris is hot,

Believe me, you didn't want to

I'm looking out for you.

No.
-You're manipulating me. -Oh,

-(lighting fixtures clinking)
-(clamoring, gasping)

EMIKO: Guys, look. It's working.
I can't believe how quickly they

THIMBLETACK: Wow. It's

THIMBLETACK: Wow. It's

It's Lucinda.

talking about some plan for me.
Well, I can't tell you about
that.
Well, I can't tell you about

You have a mouth and a tongue,

sentences.
Valentina won't let me tell you.

Thimbletack might be invisible,

he's locked in here with us.

Go! Go! Go!

Little booger.
-Oh! -It's not Thimbletack.
It's the fairy reacting to the
iron.
-Open a window. Let it out. -On
it!
No, no, no, no. Do not open
anything.
If you do, Thimbletack will
escape.
-R-Right. Duh, duh. -SIMON:
Hatcher.
-R-Right. Duh, duh. -SIMON:
