[all] yeah!

That's our hideout.

[stairs creaking]

[Tia] when do

the ghosts get here?

[Rocky] don't say things

like that.

This place could

really scare ya.

[gasps]

Come on.

This is where we're gonna live

when we run away from home.

Yeah, you can't be tough

If you take orders from

your mom or older sister.

That's why

we quit school.

You can't be tough

and educated, too.

[crusher] yeah.

- Tony!

- [boys] where?

I had a contact with him.

You...

You calling on the spirits?

Shh.

- She's weird.

- She's creepy.

I... I ain't too sure

I wanna meet this Tony.

Shh!

Tony, where are you?

He's coming in again.

I can only see a light.

That's all.

Now it's... Going black.

Now it's... Completely gone.

[machines beeping]

He's doing that?

He's projecting a magnetic field

through his reflexes

As he struggles

to regain consciousness.

His output is so great,

That my machines aren't

even capable of measuring it.

But he's dangerous.

Once I have control

of his brain, Letha,

He will only

be dangerous to others.

I hope you realize that

kidnapping's a criminal offense.

My experiments are more

important than the law, Letha.

With these receptors

placed on certain people,

Combined with

this boy's powers,

I could become one of the most

influential men in the world.

Oh, you are absolutely

brilliant, professor.

Now we can go ahead

with my plans, too.

Don't bother me with your plans.

They're empty, unimportant.

A comment, perhaps, on you and

the life you've been leading.

Now, you look here,

Doctor, professor,

physicist. Whatever you are.

I built this laboratory

for you at great expense.

I used every penny I had.

Now, we've made a lot of plans

and I won't let you upset them.

I want some money. Fast.

Letha, we are

worlds apart.

My mind is filled

with large concepts.

Mankind, the universe.

You only worry about

the horse that's

running in the third race.

Sure, I gamble...

...But with my own money.

You're the worst

kind of gambler.

You use

other people's money

And want to keep all

the winnings for yourself.

Well, you can be sure

of one thing, Victor.

I'll be around to pick up

the chips with you.

- [wires pop and sizzle]

- [Tony moans]

[panting]

[grunting]

We'll be back in the morning

with maps and breakfast.

I'll bring an egg

from my refrigerator.

And I'll bring some

day-old bread.

- I'll bring some milk for you.

- Thank you.

- You're good friends.

- That's the trouble with us.

We don't want to be good.

We want to be bad.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, let's go, you guys.

My mom's gonna yell at me.

[crusher] see you tomorrow,

Tia.

[muscles] we'll find Tony

tomorrow for sure.

[Rocky] let's stay close
