the Irish Cargo Ship, the Fowl Star, suffered a major explosion

killing all the members of the crew on board

it is believed the Russian Mafia is to blame.

I don't think my dad is dead.

Butler: Master Fowl, what are we looking for? Art: A Book.

No use to you anyway, it's written in the old tongue.

The leprechaun is our primary target. If we hold one for ransom,

I think I could get enough money to fund my dad's rescue mission.

Leprechauns, you know they're not real, don't you?

Short!

Get in here!

You're the first female captain in recon! There's a lot of hopes riding on you!

I've interpreted their book of laws. In case of abduction, the LEP will first...

...stop time, then...

...send a retreval team...

...to take back what has been lost.

Butler: Target aquired. Artemis, are you sure you want to do this? Holly: Tell me, have you ever met a troll?

The next official step...

...is negotiation. BOOM!!!

Listen to me, I want to know everything there is know about one Artemis Fowl,

before i get back to base!

Foaly: Yes sir, commander. Trouble: D'ARVIT!!!

And finally, if no solution can be reached...

a bio-bomb is detonated, contained by the time field.

Play time's over, MUDBOY!

Four, you there four? What's your situation?

You cannot win, Fowl! Either you give us back captain short, or we'll be forced to kill all of you!

I don't think so commander, you see, I know how to escape the time field.

Juliet! Don't go in there!
