The final clue leads to a decommissioned steam locomotive at a heritage railway. The treasure is hidden in the engine’s tender. Phoenix arrives disguised as a train conductor and retrieves the treasure—a chest of gold coins and jewels. The Browns confront him, but Phoenix locks them in a baggage car and sets the train in motion. The final scene: Aunt Lucy arrives in London
Paddington, who has just been released early due to good behavior (thanks to McGinty’s recommendation), rushes to the railway. He manages to leap onto the moving train. A wild chase ensues along the tracks, with Phoenix using the treasure chest as a weapon and Paddington performing acrobatic stunts using his suitcase.
Paddington is sentenced to 10 years in HM Prison Windsor Gardens. There, he meets the terrifying head chef, "Knuckles" McGinty (Brendan Gleeson), and his gang of hardened criminals. Initially, Paddington’s earnest politeness and love of marmalade are ridiculed. But he soon transforms prison life: he teaches McGinty how to make the perfect marmalade sandwich, which wins over the inmates. He also brightens up the dreary prison laundry by using natural dyes from smuggled-in oranges. Bird (Julie Walters)
To earn the money, Paddington takes on odd jobs: cleaning windows, cutting hair (disastrously), and becoming a neighborhood "whisperer." Meanwhile, a charismatic but fading actor, Phoenix Buchanan (Hugh Grant), lives next door to the Browns. Phoenix is a narcissist who performs one-man shows of his old dog-food commercials. He discovers the pop-up book contains clues to a hidden treasure—a large fortune supposedly left by the explorer who gave the book to Aunt Lucy.
