Foaly tells Root that he found a ten-gigabyte file on the Fowl family, who have apparently been working on the wrong side of the law for generations. Artemis feels a bit of guilt as he sees how his lies affect the fairy in front of him, but this feeling does not derail his plans in any way.īack at Ops, Root asks Foaly if he has any updates on the situation. He lies to Holly a second time, telling her that she has been in Fowl Manor for three days, when in fact she has been there merely an hour. He tells her that Holly herself revealed its existence to him after he administered a truth serum (this is not true-Artemis lies to Holly so that she doesn't know that he has a copy of the Book). However, always a step ahead, Artemis tells her that in fact he knows about the hostage fund. She thinks he believes in the gold-under-the-rainbow nonsense. Artemis tells her that he will be the first person to ever separate a fairy from their gold, which causes Holly to laugh. The Mud People have been stealing from the People for millennia, which is why they are forced to live underground. He informs her that he is the world's first cross-species thief, but Holly corrects him. ![]() Holly calls him a mere thief, to which Artemis takes slight offense. Holly asks Artemis what his ultimate goal is, and he tells her he wants gold. Artemis does not seem fazed by those consequences, however. Artemis informs her that he is fluent in Gnommish, and Holly tells him that what he has done-bringing together the human and fairy worlds-could have disastrous consequences for them all. He calls her by her name, which surprises Holly, since her name-tag is written in Gnommish. He tells her to take a seat, and she is forced to obey. While she is examining her cell, Artemis startles her. She can tell that her cell was recently built-the concrete is still damp in some places. However, the floor of her holding cell is thick concrete. This means that all she needs is a small patch of dirt, and her powers will be restored to her. ![]() Eventually, she is able to release it and sees to her great pleasure that it is an acorn. Meanwhile, in her holding cell, Holly is trying stealthily to get at the object that is stuck in her boot without the cameras seeing. Artemis is upset at the scene in front of him, and he leaves her in her room. She is dressed in her wedding dress, and in front of her, she has stuffed one of his father's old suits with tissue paper, and a pillowcase with a drawn-on face serves as his head. She confuses Artemis for her own grandfather. When he enters his mother's room, however, it is immediately clear that his father's return is merely a delusion. Artemis hesitates, knowing that his plan is time-sensitive, but eventually decides to go to his mother. ![]() However, at that moment, Juliet bursts through the doors of his study and tells him that his mother is saying that Artemis Fowl Senior has returned. He turns off his computer, intending to go talk with Holly. He experiences a twinge of misgiving, seeing her in obvious discomfort. Artemis can see Holly in her holding cell in the basement, head in her hands. He needs the fairies to take him seriously in order for his plan to work. At Fowl Manor, Artemis is pleased with the discussion that he had with Root aboard the whaler.
