Hunter Street (2017) s01e04 Episode Script
Principal
1 Max.
Go away, Saganash, or I'll mess you up.
Wake up.
It's morning.
You're gonna be late for school.
Shh! Cake.
Cake? (laughing) I figured that would get a rise out of you.
No cake? Dude, that's cold.
What are you doing in here? We were up all night, trying to fix the telegraph machine.
Is it working? No, but we're close.
It's time for school.
If this thing has a message inside it about Erik and Kate, it can't wait.
Just call 'em and tell 'em we're sick or something.
Uh-uh.
They might get suspicious.
We don't want Child Services breathing down our necks.
Come on, get moving.
Fine.
Fine.
And don't forget to eat breakfast.
Your brains need fuel just as much as your bodies do.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not really hungry.
Me, neither.
You know, we won't be late if we substitute breakfast-eating time for telegraph repair time.
All right.
This is it.
All right.
(electrical zapping) This is definitely not it.
(Daniel) Go! Now! Coming.
Nothing in here.
(Daniel) Oh, come on, guys, it's time for school.
You've got to get dressed and get moving.
Look at this mess.
We'll never be able to find anything in here.
Relax.
I have a system.
Read these.
Haven't read these yet.
(Anika) Guys, this is amazing.
(Daniel) What? Is it a clue? There's this girl from a rich family who wanted to get married to a A Saganash? No.
Just listen.
She wanted to marry a stable boy, but the entire family The Saganash family? No.
This has nothing to do with Saganash, does it? Nope.
Then why are you telling us about it? I just like it.
It's a really sweet story.
You're sweet, too, Anika, but why don't you put it in the read pile? I want to keep reading it.
No, no, please.
Give it to me, give it to me.
Come on.
It's time for school.
I love this story.
Wait! No! 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 think it was one of the books I read.
All we have to do is check the read pile.
See? My system works perfectly! You wouldn't happen to remember what book you saw it in? Um no.
What? You just seem pretty relaxed for someone who has about 30 seconds before they have to leave for school.
Fine, I won't eat.
You have to eat! Just do it fast! You're a weird dude, you know that? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That teapot is priceless.
Is everything in this place priceless? Pretty much.
Just give it here before you break it.
It was a gift to Erik's family from the Duke of Dusseldorf or Dubrovnik.
Guys, I'm gonna be late for school! Aah! No! Not the Duesenberg teapot! Duesenberg.
That's it.
It's irreplaceable.
We have to get another one! Oh, that's gonna cost a fortune.
Do you know what "irreplaceable" means? Really hard to replace? I knew I read it somewhere.
"The Golden Pigeon.
" If 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! Can't we go there and look for them? It's not gonna be easy.
For one, we don't know where "The Golden Pigeon" is.
There's no street sign, no building number.
But you'll find it, right? We have to go there.
After school.
Do you hear me? Now, go! Can we go after school? Definitely.
I'm sure I'll figure out where it is by then.
(Daniel) All right, come on.
Here's your jacket.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Anika, come on.
Go, go! How am I gonna figure it out by then? (school bell ringing) (Miss Clutterbeak) When an airway is obstructed by a foreign object, the Heimlich maneuver is used to clear it.
Young man, you're late.
You'd better have a good explanation.
Of course I do.
You don't think I'd be late for a class as important as this if I could help it, do you? I went to bed super early last night so I'd be really rested for class today, and then I got up early to double-check my homework and have a healthy breakfast, you know, because our brains need fuel just like our bodies, and then I jumped on my bike to get to class and you wouldn't believe it.
You'd better not say you had a flat tire.
No, I didn't have a flat because I always check my tire pressure the night before, but right there on our corner, this poor little girl did have a flat and she was so, so upset.
How could I not help her? I mean, back me up on this.
It was the only thing I could do, right? Yes.
Yes.
Well, if you were as early as you say, you still would have made it on time.
Seemingly, and I was I was well on my way on doing just that when I saw A little old lady.
A little old horse.
You know, one of those tiny little ponies about yay big? He must have gotten loose from the stable and I just couldn't let him All right, all right.
Just sit down and stop talking.
Oh, and good news, Maximilian.
I'll be your guidance counselor for the rest of the school year.
That means we will be seeing a lot of each other.
You and I are going to really get to know each other well.
So, where would one grab a person in case of choking? Miss Clutterbeak.
He's using his phone during class.
The answer is in between the navel and the bottom of the ribcage, but some of us seem to know this already, so they can come in late and play on their phones! Gahh! Why don't you demonstrate for your classmates how it's done since you seem to know already? Happy to.
We are talking about the the, uh uh Aha! So you admit you weren't paying attention.
No.
I just usually refer to it by its Latin name, you know, Omnimous Maximus, uh, Benjamin.
That's completely false.
There is no Latin name for the Heimlich maneuver.
It was invented in the late 20th century by Henry Heimlich.
Right.
I was thinking about the hypothalamus.
Your your brain? Oh, that's very flattering.
I wouldn't call myself a brain.
You know, above average, sure, but Just get to it.
Heimlich.
Hello, Heimlich.
I'm Max.
Don't call me Maximilian.
Maximilian.
You're gonna confuse him.
Demonstrate the Heimlich maneuver.
You know what? Let me take you all back to the 20th century when all the kids were doing a new dance craze called the Heimlich Maneuver, like this.
(laughter) Oh, my migraine is back.
(gasping) I'm so hungry.
May I have a spare rib? (laughter) Shh! I'll be having a long talk with your parents about this behavior, Maximilian, very soon.
Now, take your seat.
Did you all enjoy this little show? I hope you'll have as much fun tomorrow taking a surprise test.
(students gasping) I do not miss this place.
When you take a gap year, aren't you supposed to spend it doing some kind of worthwhile project? I am.
I don't think lowering your fat percentage to 13% is exactly what they had in mind.
How's the search coming? Did you find this "Golden Pigeon" place? Not yet.
We know it's on a canal, right? What if we just get a boat and cruise around until we find it? It wouldn't take any time at all.
I mean, how many canals are there? 165.
There's about 100 miles to them altogether.
We might need two boats.
That Clutterbeak is some kind of mean.
When did they start using prison guards to teach innocent children? Innocent? You? Right.
"I'll be having a long talk with your parents about your behavior, young man.
" You have Miss Shut-Your-Beak? Oh, I pity you.
"Young man, why don't you come in "an hour early tomorrow so I can ring the last bit of joy out of your life?" "An F isn't a low enough grade for you, Maximilian.
"I'm giving you a Z-minus.
"I'm making up new letters to give you.
"I've giving you a Fleh-minus.
"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.
Really great.
What about "rancorous"? I don't know what that means.
Good.
You can look it up.
It'll give you something to do during your five hours of after-school detention.
I tried to warn you.
Let's not talk about it.
Where are we with The Golden Pigeon? We'll rent four boats.
That's only 25 miles per boat.
We're not gonna need any boats.
Well, I'm not swimming the canals.
I'm saying that I found The Golden Pigeon.
(Daniel) Really? (Tess) We go right after school.
Yes.
No.
I have detention.
Clutterbeak! (clock ticking) It's not what it looks like.
I couldn't resist.
You of all people should understand that.
Why do you say that? Uh, I mean, because you're human and it's only human to give in to temptation.
(walkie-talkie squawking) Mr.
Polder, come in, please.
(man) Go for Polder.
Have you done the weekly playground cleaning yet? (Polder) Just getting to it.
Can you please make a rule banning chewing gum from school property? Don't worry about it.
One of my students will take care of everything.
Clutterbeak out.
I want that pavement clean enough to eat off.
It may seem like a cruel punishment, but I couldn't resist.
But you understand.
It's natural for me to give in to temptation.
Enjoy.
(clacking) Hmm.
We're almost there.
What do we do when we get there? Go in.
There! Those houses! They look like the ones in the drawing! Is that where Kate and Erik are? When an airway is obstructed by a foreign object, the Heimlich maneuver is used to clear it.
Uh-huh.
I'll show you.
(girls laughing) Uh, no.
Oh, he's just showing me the Heimlich maneuver.
You'll want us around if you're ever choking.
Focus, Max! If you fail biology, there's going to be a parent meeting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At the moment, that could be a bit of a problem.
Don't worry.
I got it.
I'm gonna ace this test.
All right.
But you're going to really have to study to get ready.
I think that ship has already sailed.
I'd like to go on record and say I don't support this plan.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Duly noted.
You stay here to keep a lookout, right? Right? Just hurry.
And you remember the signal if anyone's coming? Ca-caw! Ca-caw! Ca (gasping) What are you doing? Let me guess.
You're stealing my cookies.
Or are you trying to steal tomorrow's test? What? Why would I do that? Because my pet piranha knows more about biology than you do.
That's not true.
I studied.
Wait.
You have a piranha? You studied? Ha! So, I suppose you'd be willing to prove that by taking the test now.
Ca-caw! Uh, right now? Yes.
Sure, yeah.
Let's do it.
Oh, goodie.
This should be amusing.
(phone chiming) Have fun, Maximilian.
You know, this is probably gonna take a while, so feel free to go to the teacher's lounge while I Oh, I'll be right here the whole time.
Suit yourself.
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.
I really thought we were gonna find Erik and Kate here.
I know, sweetie.
Let's just go.
Hang on! What did you find? It's the same antique teapot Erik has! I can't see the difference.
What happened? Did you guys find anything? Just an antique store.
A complete waste of time.
I wouldn't say a complete waste.
Kind of looks like the broken doohickey whatsit.
Duesenberg.
Right.
Erik probably won't even notice the difference.
Made in China.
How'd the test go? Great.
Got 100% wrong.
100% wrong.
Sorry, Max.
I'm the one who should be sorry.
Clutterbeak wants Erik and Kate to come over for a meeting tomorrow.
Nice going, Max.
What are we going to do? Don't worry, okay? I got it.
I got a plan.
We'll be fine.
Tomorrow, you'll see a whole new Max.
(alarm beeping) Good morning, Max.
6:00 already.
(alarm stops beeping) (rapid beeping) Uhh! Get up.
Looking good, new Max! (exhaling) (clacking) Oh, good morning, Miss Clutterbeak.
Is this some kind of joke? Where's the hidden camera? Oh, it's no joke.
I felt bad because I didn't do a thorough job cleaning up yesterday.
(clacking) Mm-hmm.
That briefcase looks heavy.
May I carry it in for you? I don't know what your game is, young man, but it's not gonna work on me.
(sighing) Uh, Miss Clutterbeak, my behavior was unacceptable, and you have every right to talk to my foster parents about this, but But what? The Hunters are cruel, hard people.
They make me study day and night.
If I fall asleep, they wake me up with buckets of ice water.
Please don't tell them about this.
I don't know what they'll do.
That breaks my heart.
I know, right? That a young man like yourself doesn't appreciate the value of discipline.
Your parents sound like my kind of people.
Can't wait to meet them.
(Tess) Did you fix it? (Sal) It seems like a piece is missing.
I can't get it working.
I don't know why.
I even rewired the electromagnet.
Don't put that there! Are you insane? Sorry.
Hey, new Max, how'd it go? Mixed.
There's good and bad news.
Well, what's the good news? Well, Erik and Kate don't have to go to meet with Clutterbeak anymore.
Great.
Whoo! Nice job.
What's the bad news? She's coming here instead.
This is a disaster? What are we gonna do? It'll be okay.
We'll make her so happy when she gets here, she'll forget why she came.
How do we do that? By speaking her language.
I hope the new Max knows how to bake.
(Sal) Brownies? (Daniel) 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.
(laughing) (sniffing) Oh, my! This is really delicious! Mmm! And it's still warm, too.
The secret is in the eggs.
You've got to fold them in very gently.
(gulps) Miss Clutterbeak, are you okay? (choking) Heimlich! Heimlich! (choking) (Sal) Put your hands on the stomach.
What? Higher, just above the ribcage.
Go! (choking) Come on, push! There! One more! Go! Push! (spitting) (coughing) Are you okay? Well, where where are your parents? Oh, man.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
It's just a It's Erik's priceless doodle-wolly teapot.
Duesenberg.
Whatever.
Yeah.
It's Priceless.
Oh, dear.
It was 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.
I don't know.
Do you have a car? Car? Maybe he'd take that instead.
Better make it your home.
My Well, where will Where Where will I live? He'll be here any minute.
Oh, God.
Don't Don't worry.
I'll 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, like, right now.
I'll see myself out.
Yes.
What just happened? Guess now I know why the telegraph machine wasn't working.
Wasn't that in Miss Clutterbeak's mouth? Ew! (laughing) So The Golden Pigeon doesn't exist anymore? We have to find out more about this Rinus guy.
He acted so weird when I mentioned Saganash.
Why did he say I wasn't supposed to talk about him? It works.
I put in that screw and it powered it right up.
(whirring) What does it say? The rest of the message.
(rapid beeping) "Hunters.
Stop.
"Are you receiving? Stop.
"E & K here.
Stop.
Need your help.
Stop.
" It's them! Yes! Yeah, but they need our help, which means they're in trouble.
Go away, Saganash, or I'll mess you up.
Wake up.
It's morning.
You're gonna be late for school.
Shh! Cake.
Cake? (laughing) I figured that would get a rise out of you.
No cake? Dude, that's cold.
What are you doing in here? We were up all night, trying to fix the telegraph machine.
Is it working? No, but we're close.
It's time for school.
If this thing has a message inside it about Erik and Kate, it can't wait.
Just call 'em and tell 'em we're sick or something.
Uh-uh.
They might get suspicious.
We don't want Child Services breathing down our necks.
Come on, get moving.
Fine.
Fine.
And don't forget to eat breakfast.
Your brains need fuel just as much as your bodies do.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not really hungry.
Me, neither.
You know, we won't be late if we substitute breakfast-eating time for telegraph repair time.

(Daniel) Oh, come on, guys, it's time for school.
You've got to get dressed and get moving.

We'll never be able to find anything in here.
Relax.
I have a system.
Read these.
Haven't read these yet.

I wouldn't say a complete waste.
Kind of looks like the broken doohickey whatsit.
Duesenberg.
Right.
Erik probably won't even notice the difference.
Made in China.
How'd the test go? Great.
Got 100% wrong.
100% wrong.
Sorry, Max.
I'm the one who should be sorry.
Clutterbeak wants Erik and Kate to come over for a meeting tomorrow.
Nice going, Max.
What are we going to do? Don't worry, okay? I got it.
I got a plan.
We'll be fine.
Tomorrow, you'll see a whole new Max.
(alarm beeping) Good morning, Max.
6:00 already.
(alarm stops beeping) (rapid beeping) Uhh! Get up.
Looking good, new Max! (exhaling) (clacking) Oh, good morning, Miss Clutterbeak.
Is this some kind of joke? Where's the hidden camera? Oh, it's no joke.
I felt bad because I didn't do a thorough job cleaning up yesterday.
(clacking) Mm-hmm.
That briefcase looks heavy.
May I carry it in for you? I don't know what your game is, young man, but it's not gonna work on me.
(sighing) Uh, Miss Clutterbeak, my behavior was unacceptable, and you have every right to talk to my foster parents about this, but But what? The Hunters are cruel, hard people.
They make me study day and night.
If I fall asleep, they wake me up with buckets of ice water.
Please don't tell them about this.
I don't know what they'll do.
That breaks my heart.
I know, right? That a young man like yourself doesn't appreciate the value of discipline.
Your parents sound like my kind of people.
Can't wait to meet them.
(Tess) Did you fix it? (Sal) It seems like a piece is missing.
I can't get it working.
I don't know why.
I even rewired the electromagnet.
Don't put that there! Are you insane? Sorry.
Hey, new Max, how'd it go? Mixed.
There's good and bad news.
Well, what's the good news? Well, Erik and Kate don't have to go to meet with Clutterbeak anymore.
Great.
Whoo! Nice job.
What's the bad news? She's coming here instead.
This is a disaster? What are we gonna do? It'll be okay.
We'll make her so happy when she gets here, she'll forget why she came.
How do we do that? By speaking her language.
I hope the new Max knows how to bake.
(Sal) Brownies? (Daniel) 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.
(laughing) (sniffing) Oh, my! This is really delicious! Mmm! And it's still warm, too.
The secret is in the eggs.
You've got to fold them in very gently.
(gulps) Miss Clutterbeak, are you okay? (choking) Heimlich! Heimlich! (choking) (Sal) Put your hands on the stomach.
What? Higher, just above the ribcage.
Go! (choking) Come on, push! There! One more! Go! Push! (spitting) (coughing) Are you okay? Well, where where are your parents? Oh, man.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
It's just a It's Erik's priceless doodle-wolly teapot.
Duesenberg.
Whatever.
Yeah.
It's Priceless.
Oh, dear.
It was 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.
I don't know.
Do you have a car? Car? Maybe he'd take that instead.
Better make it your home.
My Well, where will Where Where will I live? He'll be here any minute.
Oh, God.
Don't Don't worry.
I'll 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, like, right now.
I'll see myself out.
Yes.
What just happened? Guess now I know why the telegraph machine wasn't working.
Wasn't that in Miss Clutterbeak's mouth? Ew! (laughing) So The Golden Pigeon doesn't exist anymore? We have to find out more about this Rinus guy.
He acted so weird when I mentioned Saganash.
Why did he say I wasn't supposed to talk about him? It works.
I put in that screw and it powered it right up.
(whirring) What does it say? The rest of the message.
(rapid beeping) "Hunters.
Stop.
"Are you receiving? Stop.
"E & K here.
Stop.
Need your help.
Stop.
" It's them! Yes! Yeah, but they need our help, which means they're in trouble.
