Phoenix Buchanan, end scene Paddington 2 Trivia ~ Phoenix's last words as he is held in prison. What am I like? Guards, lock me up! Oh, wait, you have. Well, it seems I didn't need the West End after all. ~ Phoenix accepting his fate of going in jail for 10 years. ~ Phoenix seeing Paddington stealing the pop up book. ~ Phoenix meeting Paddington the first time. However, he is allowed to continue his acting career in prison, and the show he puts on appears to be very well-received by his fellow inmates, providing Buchanan with a sense of the renewed fame and appreciation for his work that he had desired for so long (albeit obviously not in the way he had intended or foreseen). Paddington's name is then cleared, and Buchanan is arrested and sentenced to 10 years of prison. Brown, with some help from Knuckles and his fellow inmates, ultimately rescues him. Meanwhile, Paddington nearly drowns when the carriage falls into a river, but Mrs. Brown, however, is able to knock out Buchanan by using his launching talents. He then locks Paddington in another carriage and separates it, leaving Paddington to his fate. Buchanan tries to access the fortune in the organ, but Paddington and the Browns confront him. Paddington sets on board a train with Buchanan, which carries an organ where the treasure is hidden. Henry Brown then tells Paddington to head for the train station, because if they can retake the book from Phoenix, then it will prove that he is the real thief. The Browns even saw the same words on the organ in the newspaper and realized that the organ is where the treasure was hidden and know that Phoenix was heading for the train with the organ onboard.
With the help of some of his fellow inmates, Paddington escapes from prison and talks to the Browns on the phone, and they have no clues of Phoenix's whereabouts, but when Paddington tell the Browns that on the last page of the pop-up book was "Where All Your Dreams Come True", Mary Brown realizes that she had the same thing on Phoenix's scratch paper. However, the police need the pop-up book in order to prove that Phoenix is the one who stole it in order to prove Paddington's innocence, since the book will have Phoenix's fingerprints on it.
Meanwhile, the Browns begin to suspect him and eventually find his costumes and the book in his attic, proving him to be the culprit. It turns out that the book holds clues to the whereabouts of a fortune, and Buchanan assumes other disguises to find the clues. The thief escapes and turns out to be Buchanan in disguise, and Paddington is arrested for the crime. Following the arrest of Millicent Clyde for her crimes, Paddington saves up money to buy a pop-up book for his Aunt Lucy's birthday, but a thief breaks into the antique store where it is held and steals it.
