While Simon distracts the goblins, Mallory and Jared manage to reach a tunnel under the estate. The children decide to visit their great-aunt Lucinda, now in a psychiatric hospital, for advice. Together, the twins flee to the house, managing to escape only with Mallory's help. But soon Jared, who is hiding, is spotted by the goblins. Mulgarath lets Simon go and berates Redcap for failing his master. Hogsqueal gives Jared the ability to see faeries without the aid of the stone. Meanwhile, Jared meets Hogsqueal ( Seth Rogen), a hobgoblin and bitter enemy of Mulgarath. He sends his goblins led by Redcap the Pompous Goblin General, to obtain it, and they kidnap Simon, mistaking him for Jared. However, a shape-shifting ogre named Mulgarath ( Nick Nolte) wants the field guide for himself so he can rule over all faerie-kind. He tells Jared about a protective circle that Arthur Spiderwick placed around the house and gives him a stone with a hole through which he can see faeries. Soon after, Jared meets a brownie named Thimbletack ( Martin Short), who explains that magical creatures are normally invisible, but can reveal themselves at will. In it, he finds Spiderwick's field guide to faeries although an attached note warns him not to read it, he does so anyway. When Jared uncovers a dumbwaiter system behind a wall, Jared finds a monogrammed key and discovers the study of the late owner of the estate, Arthur Spiderwick ( David Strathairn). Grace ( Mary-Louise Parker) moves into the Spiderwick Estate with her children when it is given to her by her elderly aunt Lucinda ( Joan Plowright), though identical twins Jared and Simon ( Freddie Highmore) and their older sister Mallory ( Sarah Bolger) do not want to move from the city.
