Hey, heard the buzz about "Hunter Street"? Hunters! Well, everyone's going crazy about it.
We're about to catch you up on what you missed during the first week so you can be up to speed for all the rest of this mysterious, madcap adventure.
See? What did I tell you? Can I at least get a thumbs up? And be sure to stick around for an exclusive sneak peek at what's in store for the rest of the season.
It all begins when we meet Max.
He's an energetic foster kid who's just about to land his dream family.
This is your last chance.
I'm all out of families.
If it doesn't work out with the Hunters, you're gonna have to go to Blackfriars.
The orphanage? I hear they serve nothing but gruel seven days a week.
That's not true.
They serve it six days a week.
On Sundays, you go hungry.
What? I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
It's not that bad, but I guarantee you, the Hunters' is nicer.
Now, if I could only find it.
I'll guide you.
Erik and Kate have taken in four foster kids already, and they all get along great.
What are you monsters up to? We're doing an experiment.
Trying to.
I need another research assistant.
What kind of experiment? Carbon dioxide reactivity.
We're gonna see which soda shoots higher.
Normal or Diet Cola-zer.
Sounds good to me.
Definitely no stray dog stampedes in here.
I feel ya.
I'm rolling.
When I give the signal Oh, hold on.
I need another mint.
Stop eating the mints, Anika.
But they're so good.
3, 2, 1 and He's here.
Guess we'll have to pick this up later.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, guys, you know the deal.
As soon as Max steps inside, he is not a foster kid.
He is a Hunter, same as all of us.
Let's do our best to make him feel like one, okay? Okay.
Okay.
Hi, Tim.
And you must be Maximilian.
Hi.
I'm Kate.
What's up, Kate? Come on in.
What? Wow.
I'm Erik Hunter.
Welcome, Maximilian.
Come on.
Let's meet everyone.
This is Anika.
Sal.
Tess.
And this big guy is Daniel.
Dude, you are cut like a canned ham.
There's another one coming, by the way.
Whee! Oh-ho! No! Stop! Sal, have you been here long? Actually, Anika has been here for the longest.
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
Erik and Kate adopted me when I was just a baby.
And I've been in the family for five years.
Daniel and Tess were already here when I came.
I don't know.
In all the other foster families I've been in, I've always felt like, you know, an extra chair or something.
It's pretty cool you guys call this your family.
We don't just call it a family.
We are a family.
You'll see.
Cheers.
To Max.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Cheers, Max.
Welcome.
What's important to me is that you realize that this is your house now.
But just when Max's charmed new life begins Erik? Kate? things take a mysterious turn.
Guys, wake up! Erik and Kate are gone! Now, this gang of five kids are gonna have to figure out how to make it on their own.
I'm calling the police.
Ehh! Wrong answer.
Huh? Because they'll call Child Services who'll put us in a new foster home.
There is no foster family that'll take all of us, which means that They'll split us up.
No! Or worse, send us to Blackfriars Orphanage, AKA The House of Gruel.
Nobody's splitting us up.
We all came from different places.
We may not look alike or have the same blood, but we're family.
Family stays together, am I right? Definitely.
Sure.
Their mission is to try and find out what has happened to their awesome foster parents, but there's always time for fun.
Their house is incredible.
The kitchen.
This is Anika's room.
Daniel's room.
Library.
And last but not least, our room.
And the place starts to reveal a bunch of secrets Who are they? Anika, we've found our first clue.
that will take them on an adventure.
Okay, gotta take a break, but stay tuned.
There's much more to come.
This is Kate's necklace.
She was wearing it the day they went to the opera.
Since when do you know how to do laundry? Do I look like an idiot? Is that detergent or dish soap? Soap and detergent are the same thing.
If you don't believe me, look it up.
Need any help in there? Oh! Aah! The cover-up continues as the kids try to keep the family together while they look for their foster parents.
Shouldn't you guys be in school? Gap year.
And, uh I'm sick and so is Anika.
We caught that bug that's going around.
New shorts? No.
Why? Oh, I washed them with Anika's red jeans.
I guess I shouldn't have used hot water.
They're not so bad, right? I mean, they're the only clean pair I've got.
No.
They look good on you.
You've got great legs.
I do have nice legs.
Well, later.
Hey, guys, say hi to my tour group.
You're leading a tour all by yourself? Mm-hmm.
They're from up north.
Be sure to count the silverware before they leave.
Especially the knives.
Hi, this is Simone Smith.
I'm a police officer in Amsterdam District 17.
You know the Hunters, right? Please tell me he didn't fill the house with wild dogs again.
No, it's nothing like that.
Then, what? I was over there earlier, and I don't think there's any supervision.
I don't think there are any adults there.
New discoveries around the house reveal major clues.
Uh, you guys? A secret library? This is awesome! More books.
Yay.
These aren't just any books.
This is the history of the Hunter family, going all the way back to the 1300s.
These books are about more than just the Hunters.
We found Saganash.
Well, what is it? Don't leave us hanging.
It's not a what, it's a who.
Saganash is the name of an old merchant family, just like the Hunters.
They used to do a lot of business together.
Hey, it's the same guys.
So, what does it mean? How will it help us find Kate and Erik? I don't know.
With all these clues We found a goodbye letter of someone who used to work here.
"I'll remember you always "and cherish your friendship.
Forever grateful, Rinus S.
" Rinus Saganash? come suspects.
We need to find out more about Rinus and why he left.
Looking for something? Uh, are you Rinus? Who wants to know? I'm a Hunter.
I found your picture in our house.
You're a Hunter.
One of Erik's kids.
Why didn't you say so? Do you want to come inside, have a cup of tea? Sure, that'd be great.
Thanks, Mr.
Saganash? Mr.
Saganash.
That's your name, isn't it? You shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry.
Now, get out of here.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
Get out of here before I get mad.
Seems like you're already pretty mad.
Move it! I just need to ask you Get lost! Go! But after more investigation What are you doing here? Where are Erik and Kate? You tell me! What? You're not holding them prisoner? Why should I do something like that? Would you mind not shining that thing in my eyes? Well, how did you get this? You searched my coat? So if you didn't take Erik and Kate, what are you doing here? The same as you.
I'm looking for them.
Listen, I've known Erik since he was a boy.
I practically raised him.
You know, Kate and Erik, they mean everything to me.
You kids, you mean everything to them.
So, we're in this together.
So, let's help each other find them.
Rinus ends up being pretty cool and helps the kids keep up their act so they can all find Erik and Kate.
How may I help you? And you are? Casper Hunter, Erik's older brother.
Much older, I'd say.
Yes, yes, yes, it's true, I'm no spring chicken.
Good thing you are all so easy to take care of or I wouldn't be able to handle it every time Erik and Kate ask me to look after you.
Now, how come no one has offered this gentleman Tim.
How come no one has offered Mr.
Tim some clean clothes? Where are your manners? Sorry, Uncle Casper.
Well, I'm glad somebody is looking after them.
Yes, well, of course.
The kids discover another link between Saganash and the Hunter family that just might lead them to Erik and Kate.
Guys, look! Some kind of old contract.
Ownership of the Canal House, known as The Golden Pigeon is awarded to What? Guys, Saganash.
It says Saganash.
The building was owned by a Hunter and a Saganash.
The Golden Pigeon.
I knew I read it somewhere.
Erik and Kate have a picture of The Golden Pigeon on their wall.
It must be really important, right? I don't know.
There's lots of pictures of street scenes in the museum and the family did own the building.
I bet that's where they are! I don't get it.
The house to the left is the same.
But where's The Golden Pigeon? The Golden Pigeon is just an antique store now.
Let's just go.
Hang on.
What did you find? It's the same antique teapot Erik has.
Don't go anywhere.
This is a telegraph machine.
I built an app that translates Morse code.
"E and K here.
Stop.
Need your help.
Stop.
" We're back.
The kids get a spark of hope in the search for their parents.
- So, what is it? - I'm not sure.
Let me see.
Careful.
Don't break it.
Relax.
I'm what they call an experiential learner.
I figure stuff out by messing around with it.
Whoa.
This is a telegraph machine.
They get a cryptic message from Erik and Kate.
It's them! Yes! Yeah, but they need our help, which means they're in trouble.
All this searching for Erik and Kate has the kids in hot water at school Young man! You're late.
You'd better have a good explanation.
with Headmistress Clutterbeak.
Maximilian.
You're gonna confuse him.
Demonstrate the Heimlich maneuver.
You know what? Let me take y'all back to the 20th century, when all the kids were doing a new dance craze called the Heimlich maneuver.
Like this.
Oh, my migraine is back.
Oh, I'm so hungry.
May I have a spare rib? Shh! Remember the name, Clutterbeak.
"C" as in cyclops, "L" for loathsome, "U" for utterly unfair, "T" is for terrible, another "T" for even more terrible, "E" is for evil I can't wait to hear what the "R" is for.
She insists on a parent-teacher meeting which could blow their cover.
High-intensity interval training is really effective, but so is cutting out bad fats and strategically reducing your carbohydrate intake.
Our parents are running a little late, but they should be here any minute.
Would you maybe care for a brownie while you wait? They're homemade.
Well, then, it would be rude not to try it.
Oh, my! This is really delicious! Miss Clutterbeak, are you okay? Heimlich! Heimlich! Put your hands on the stomach! What? Just above the ribcage.
Go! Come on, push! There! One more! There! Go! One! But the kids find a way to send her running.
Oh, no.
Oh Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
It's just a It's Erik's priceless doodle-wally teapot.
Duesenberg.
Whatever, yeah.
It's Priceless.
Oh, dear.
It was a gift to Erik's great-great-great grandfather from Napoleon.
And priceless is just a figure of speech.
It's probably worth around Like tens of thousands.
Yeah.
Hundreds of thousands.
Oh, well, what will I tell your father? I don't have anywhere near that much money.
Don't worry.
I'll take the heat.
They already hate me.
Well, but Yeah, you should probably get out of here before they come.
They might get suspicious.
Go! Yes, I'll see myself out.
Yes.
So let's review where everything stands on "Hunter Street.
" Erik and Kate were last seen at the opera house.
We found a note there in Kate's handwriting that said one word, "Saganash," a family that the Hunters did business with centuries ago.
Tess talked to an old guy named Rinus who used to work here.
And I did learn something.
The Saganash family is still around and they're dangerous.
Rinus said we shouldn't get involved.
And then we got a message on the telegraph machine signed "E & K.
" It said they needed help.
How does it all fit together? Oh, it fits together and it's just the beginning.
We'll be back with an exclusive first look at what's to come.
Kees must have been Josephine's one true love.
"Thieves.
" I'm more confused than ever.
Who took Erik and Kate? Why haven't they contacted us? Don't kidnappers usually want a ransom? What about all that Saganash business? The rest of the season will answer all these questions and more.
Here's a sneak peek of what's to come on "Hunter Street.
" Who's out there? New and mysterious characters enter the picture Are you Josephine? I'm on a quest for my one true love.
that shed more light on the Hunter-Saganash history.
Josephine was famous for a diamond big as a walnut.
It just disappeared.
Maybe there's something in here that can tell us who Josephine's one true love was.
Maybe the question isn't who was her one true love but what.
And Josephine isn't the only one that could lead the family to Erik and Kate.
If you want to see your parents again, you'll give me the diamond.
The kids still struggle to stay together.
No one's taking Erik and Kate's place.
They'll be back soon.
In the meantime, we all need to be on our best behavior.
But what seems like a dream Guys, I think I might have a plan.
Why didn't you guys tell me about your real aunt and uncle? Aunt Hedwig? Aunt Hedwig? Yeah, and Uncle Eugene.
They're gonna come and stay with you guys so everybody can stay together.
ends up being a nightmare.
These are going to be your morning rations every day from now on.
One thing's for sure these kids are never gonna give up.
If there's a ghost in this house, I'll find it.
Who wants to go first? He's right behind you.
You're the best family in the whole wide world.
No matter what happens, Hunters stick together.
