Hunter Street (2017) s01e03 Episode Script

We're all out of food.
What do you mean we're out of food? We still have sprouts and there are some berries left.
Not anymore.
But we still have celery and broccoli.
If I were a rabbit, I'd be happy.
I'm hungry.
I'll go shopping.
No! Um what will you get? You know, just healthy things.
Like what? Trust me.
Only very, very healthy stuff.
Find anything? Nothing about the Saganash family and nothing about why someone would wanna kidnap Erik and Kate.
Tess, this man used to work for the Hunter Museum years ago.
Look, a letter.
"Dear Hunters, with sadness in my heart, "I have decided to leave you.
"I don't see any other way.
Here, our ways will part.
" Do you think we got enough healthy stuff? Totally.
These chips.
They're loaded with Okay, maybe not the best example, but, um Lollipops, they've got real fruit flavor.
That's good, right? You okay? Just reminded me of Kate.
She always makes us juices for breakfast with real fruit and everything.
Where are they, Max? I wish I knew, Anika.
It's gonna be all right, Spunky.
They'll be back, I promise.
I hope I didn't break the eggs.
We bought eggs? Mm-hmm.
Gross.
Snack attack! Hey, knock it off.
Sorry, can I help? Me too? 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 S.
? Is anything thinking what I'm thinking? Rinus Saganash? This guy's a Saganash? He could be.
No, we would've found him when we were looking for Saganash.
Oh, try, um, Sunir Hsanagas.
If I know, Rinus Saganash spelled backwards.
That's kind of your go-to code, isn't it? Just try it.
We need to find out more about Rinus and why he left.
Sounds like a perfect job for Max.
Me? Look through these for anything about Saganash.
When you're done, there's a couple hundred more.
Maybe we should go unpack the groceries first or clean all five bathrooms.
Right.
Wait! Now you can go.
Check this out.
Whoa.
Cool look at that sword.
I bet you could do some damage with that bad boy.
It's really stuck.
Hmm, nothing for Sunir Hsanagas.
There's a surprise.
What about using this picture? Isn't there some kind of facial recognition software we could use? Hmm, does anything like that exist anywhere? A person who created an app like that would be truly brilliant.
Okay, Sal, I get it.
You invented a facial recognition app.
A little thing I like to call RecoFize 2.
1.
Erik? No It's Tim from Child Services.
Oh, hey, Tim.
No, I thought you were my friend, Erik Dusterson.
Oh, well, can I speak to Erik Hunter? Uh, yeah, yeah, he's here.
Hang on.
Sure.
Hey, Tim, how's it going? Very well.
Uh, how's Max doing? Max? Yeah, uh, Max.
Oh, uh, no, he's, he's great.
Uh, settling in like a champ.
Nothing to worry about.
That's great.
So, I was wondering, maybe I could drop by today? Uh, today? Yeah.
Today's not great.
We're going skating.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd really like to come by later.
I see.
In about an hour? All right, I'll see you then.
Bye.
Three, two, one.
Come on, man.
That's him! RecoFize 2.
1.
When ordinary facial recognition software just won't do.
So, is his name Saganash? I don't know.
Zoom in on that.
I've seen that place.
It's near Museum Square.
What are we waiting for? Let's go.
And do what? He might have just been standing there when the photo was taken.
One more time, okay? Three, two, one.
Emergency meeting, now! Whoa.
How did you guys do that? We just pulled on the sword.
Why is there a safe here? If I had to guess, I'd say it's to lock things up in.
It's locked.
I'll take care of that.
You know how to break into a safe? How hard can it be? They do it in movies all the time.
First they go like this You guys, seriously.
Tim from Child Services is coming over here in an hour to check on Max.
We have to clean this place up, pronto.
Ooh, that's not much time.
We better get cleaning.
Wait, what about what's in the safe? If it helps us find Erik and Kate, there might be no time to lose.
Max is right.
Same with this guy.
I gotta find out what he knows ASAP.
The house, it's a disaster area! I can't clean it all by myself.
Don't worry, I'll help you.
Well, we'll never get through everything in an hour.
Not if you stand there complaining.
Come on.
So, what is your plan? I got this.
I have a better idea.
There are four numerical digits.
If we calculate ten to the power of four, that means there are only 10,000 possible combinations.
Right, and if we try all those, it's gonna take us 100 years.
We won't be walking around then, professor.
Sorry, Gramps.
Tim will be here in ten minutes.
How's the kitchen? Anika! What are you doing? What does it look like? I'm making everything more shiny.
More shiny? It really had to be done.
We don't have time for this.
Look how it glimmers! You know what? You go clean up the living room and I'll take care of this mess.
Okay.
Oh.
There's got to be a faster way to do this.
Well, we may be able to Melt the hinges.
What? I saw it in a movie.
I need some stuff from the kitchen.
But Hey, whatever you do, don't make a mess! Max, what are you doing? Creating a mixture.
A mixture? To melt the hinges off the safe.
Oh, of course, the safe.
Can't you see I just cleaned the kitchen? What a great job you did.
Looking for something? Uh, are you Rinus? Who wants to know? I'm Tess.
I've been looking for you.
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 wanna come inside, have a cup of tea? Sure, that'd be great, thanks Mr.
Saganash? l me? Mr.
Saganash that's your name, isn't it? Where'd you hear that? From Erik? 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! Wait, Mr.
Sag Rinus! Rinus? Wow, this place looks great.
What can I say? Good things come in small packages.
Oh, uh, I wouldn't open that if I were you.
Why not? I just organized it.
I just need a clean dust cloth.
But Don't worry, I won't mess it up.
I hadn't totally finished organizing it.
Ahh! It's Tim.
He's early.
What do we do? Maybe keep him out of the living room.
Right.
Tim, great to see you.
Great to see you too, Emily.
Tim's gonna be here any minute.
You've gotta help me clean up this place.
It looks fine.
What's going on with the safe? Did they get it open? I don't know, I've been busy! Keep the door closed.
Hey, Tim, great to see you.
Come on in.
No.
Hi, Tim.
Oh, yeah, this stuff is powerful stinky.
Totally gonna work.
Whoa, that's totally not gonna work.
What'd you put in this? This is useless.
I found Rinus.
He was really nice at first, but then when I mentioned Saganash, he What is that? Apparently, it's garbage.
What did he do when you mentioned Saganash? He went nuts and chased me out of there.
Tim is here.
All right.
Let's get this over with.
So, are these all the combinations Sal tried? Good luck with it.
There's, like, a zillion different combinations.
Oh, you are so picking my lottery numbers.
The combination is 1978.
1978? The year Kate was born.
Erik uses it as his pin code for everything.
Max?! Sal? Max? Whoa.
Whoa.
Guys, stop fooling around! Open the door! It's an old machine.
You're kidding me.
Sal? I can't open it.
Push the door as hard as you can.
It won't work.
Come on, man, you can do it.
Just give it all your power, okay? Okay.
You okay? Sal? Check this out.
Whoa.
It's a tunnel.
Another secret room.
This is not a normal house.
You coming? Tim's waiting.
Maybe this is our way out.
Uh, just hold it for two minutes and, uh, and do the other side.
I do it at least five times a day.
My abs are like slabs.
Yeah, your workout routine is very interesting.
But I'm kind of in a hurry.
So, is Max coming? He should be right here.
Oh, that's him now.
Oh, it's you.
What did I do? Hi, Sal.
Where's Max? Oh, Max.
He, he was just with me.
He must've gone to, uh change his shirt.
You know, Max, always wants to look his best.
All right.
Just a little darkness.
Nothing we can't handle.
Uh, anyone know any good jokes? Oh, I do.
What do you get when you cross a potato with an elephant? I don't know.
Mashed potatoes.
Mashed potatoes? 'Cause the elephant steps on the potato and the potato goes I think I'd like to speak to Kate and Erik now.
Uhh No.
No-no-no-no, come on.
What? Not now.
The battery died.
I can't see a thing here.
Oh, calm down.
Just let your eyes adjust to the dark for a minute.
Adjust? Yeah.
What? Wait, why is there no floor here? What do you mean, there's no fl Whoa! Whoa! Oh! Ow! Is that my boy over there? What's up, man? Are you making trouble again? You promised me Uh, no, no, he's not making trouble.
Uh, he and Tess were just, uh Cleaning the ventilation systems.
These old houses, you know.
Yeah.
Look I don't know what you guys are up to, but you're all standing up for Max.
And no family has ever done that before, so I guess things must be going okay.
But I still have to speak to Kate and Erik.
Could someone get them? No, sorry, they, they just went out.
Oh, okay, uh, well Could you do me a favor and tell them I came by? Sure, no probs.
Thanks.
Take it easy, guys.
I'll see you later.
They went out? What kind of story is that? I can't believe he bought it.
Rule number one when making up a story, keep it simple.
You have a lot to learn.
Pushing it doesn't work anymore.
Let a professional do it.
It's all in the hips.
So, uh, 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.
Oh! This is a telegraph machine.
A tele-what? Telegraph.
It's how people used to communicate before they invented the telephone.
I built an app that translates Morse Code.
Of course you did.
It's a message.
"Hunters, stop.
Are you receiv" That's it.
There's no more.
There has to be more.
I think you broke it.
Me?! Guys, come on.
This could be a real clue.
The big question is, who sent this message?
