Darby tricks the leprechauns into opening the mountain and leaving by playing "The Fox Chase" on Brian's violin. Darby escapes, and expecting Brian to pursue him, engages him in a drinking game with a jug of poitín, allowing him to capture the leprechaun at sunrise when his magic has no effect. Since Darby caught him, Brian grants him three wishes, but warns that wishing for a fourth forfeits them all. Darby's first wish is for Brian to stay by his side for two weeks or until Darby runs out of wishes. Brian tricks Darby into using his second wish to draw Katie and Michael closer together.
