MGP

No! Oh! So, a cop.
Are you serious? Yeah.
Even though it was just a dream, it felt great, like I could actually be good at it.
Cool.
Yeah, definitely.
I think Erik and Kate would be very proud.
You really think? Yeah.
Can I take a picture with you, Mr.
Cop? I just want to do something important for society.
And for Simone.
We wanted to talk with you about the diamond.
Yeah.
We have no clue what's the safest place to hide this thing.
I think it's best that I keep that diamond in protective custody.
I think it's best if you go open the door.
Krrrt 3-4-5, we have a suspect at the door.
All units He found his calling.
An undercover agent.
Why don't we keep the blue diamond in the library? Yeah, you didn't prepare that trap for nothing.
I mean, trap or no trap, everyone knows we have the diamond.
Yes, but you can't walk around with a diamond worth millions of dollars in your pocket.
The chance you'll lose the Who's that for? There's no name on it.
Anybody expecting a delivery? Whose phone is ringing? Hello? Don't keep me waiting ever again, Maximillian.
Saginesh? Do I have your attention? Yeah, yes, sir.
Keep this phone with you at all times.
I'll contact you on it to arrange the drop-off .
This is just like in the movies.
Saginesh? What did he say? Yeah, did he say where Eric and Kate are? He said I had to keep the phone with me and to wait further instructions.
If it rings, I'll pick up immediately.
And the diamond goes into the safe.
As a future cop, I hereby promise it will stay in there safe and sound.
Boo! Wow.
One, two, three.
I know! I know! Ugh.
Her name's Kelly.
She's new.
She has this beauty blog.
Accessories, I know! That's exactly what she says all day.
How did you know? I always watch "Kelly Now.
" See ya! Tess Hunter.
Flutterby paired us up for the biology assignment.
So now you and I have to write a report about Marwin.
That's probably a mistake, right? I do hope so.
I mean, who is this Marwin guy anyway? It's actually Darwin.
Right.
You actually know all that stuff.
You're my savior.
Do you know what you could use? Accessories.
I know! Oh, man, come on! So, did he give you any idea when he'd call again? Nope.
Just to hold on to the phone.
That's all for today, fashion fanatics.
Join me next time on "Kelly Now" when my topic will be new style scrunchies.
I know! Bye, girls.
Hi, Jess.
How's our Marwin project going? I did some research.
Galapagos Islands, sea turtles Survival of the fittest blah, blah, blah.
Can someone please answer that phone? Why don't you show me the pictures you downloaded? Yeah, hello? Next time you pick up immediately or you'll regret it.
Yeah, uh, sorry.
Do you have the diamond? It's in a safe place.
The handover will be tomorrow.
I'll give you your instructions in the morning.
Make sure you're waiting by the phone.
Wait.
We need proof that Erik and Kate are What'd he say? That guy needs to learn some phone manners.
Hey, Simone.
I'm really sorry about the other night.
It was a misunderstanding.
Let's just leave it at that.
I have to go, I'm on duty.
Uh, actually, um That's what I wanted to ask you about, see I've been thinking about joining the police force.
You're serious.
Yeah.
That's great, Daniel.
You know what? I might let you shadow me on my beat someday.
That would be awesome.
Thanks.
No problem.
See ya.
See ya.
Bye, Simone.
Bye.
Officer Hunter on his rounds.
Erik and Kate! Do not give away the diamond.
Repeat, do not.
Find MGP at Pica Pica.
Stop.
He will help.
Stop.
What does it mean? "MGP" and "Pica Pica"? Let's go look it up.
You should go with them, Danny.
They're clues and you're a cop.
I'm not a cop yet.
But Simone said she'd train me.
So I'll be all, stop in the name of the law.
I surrender.
And who are you? I'm Daniel.
I'm Tess' older brother.
This is Kelly from "Kelly Now.
" She's an Internet superstar.
We're doing a biology project.
Come on, superstar.
MGP is a cryptography algorithm.
It's used to transmit a symmetric key with the assistance of asymmetric cryptography.
That's not helpful.
But it's interesting.
It's not interesting, either.
Try, um Try Pica Pica.
It's Latin for a bird species of magpie.
Magpie.
Without the vowels, that's MGP.
Could it be the same thing? MGP and Pica Pica? There's an antique store called Pica Pica in, wait for it Amsterdam.
Now, that's interesting.
Come on, dude.
Hi.
Are you ready? 'Cause I know I am.
Ready for what? To serve and protect.
Come on, let's hit the streets.
Oh Right.
You're really serious about being a cop.
I I think that's great, but What the heck.
You're 17, right? Almost.
Okay Here's how we're going to do this.
Stay close.
Keep your eyes and ears open and keep your mouth shut.
Yes, ma'am.
And don't do that again.
Oh, okay.
Right.
'Cause we're We're partners, right? We're not partners.
Come on, superstar.
We should be working on Darwin.
We should be talking about your brother.
Why didn't you tell me he was such a super cutiepie? Because I didn't know he was.
Do you think he'd like me? Of course he would.
We're perfect for each other.
Can't argue with you there.
We're gonna have to work on this another time.
I have to go somewhere.
Forget it.
We staying right here.
But Daniel's not even home.
Then we'll wait.
Fine.
Hey, how would you like to see Daniel's room? Yes.
So what's the plan? Put hand on door.
Push.
Enter store.
No, I mean, how are we going to find out what we need to find out? Sometimes, you gotta fly by seat of your pants, all right? Come on, it'll be cool.
Wait, Max, I don't know.
Don't worry, it'll be fine.
Come on.
Wow! A sword from the 18th century! Did you know in the 18th century, it was very common for the people You've got a good eye, young man.
That egg dates back to 1917.
It was a gift from the czar of Russia to the czarina.
How much? Is there something I can help you boys with? Yeah, as a matter of fact, there There is, Mister Browning.
Browning, yes.
We are looking for the the magpie.
The magpie, you say? Well, you've come to the right place.
Pica Pica, the name of my store, is Latin for magpie.
Great! That's the last clue! Let's go tell the scoutmaster we won the scavenger hunt! What? Thanks, Mr.
Browning! What are you talking about? I was just getting somewhere with that guy.
Did you see the way he looked when I said magpie? I have to check something at home.
Better be important.
I knew it.
They're identical.
This is the same egg as the one at Pica Pica.
So? Big deal, there's more than one.
No, there isn't.
The Imperial eggs are one of a kind.
Each one is unique, which means Either this one or the one from the shop is fake.
Bingo.
There it is.
Looks like we found our fugazi.
Our what? Fugazi.
Dude, come on, don't you watch crime movies? Uh It means fake.
Ah.
Fugazi.
Yeah.
Put this on.
It's kind of against the rules, but it'll give you a sense of what it feels like, how people look at you as a cop.
Oh I can feel the authority.
It's not the jacket that gives you the authority.
I know.
But it looks good on me.
O-M-G Come on.
Kelly, I didn't say you could touch anything.
I want to know everything about him.
It smells just like him.
Yeah, him and every other 17-year-old in the world.
Brrng-brrng.
Eric and Kate have files on every piece of work in their art collection.
Dates, background on the artist, et cetera.
Ah.
Got it.
Now, this is interesting.
Something about the egg? No, listen to this.
The art thief and forger known as the Magpie has struck again.
The "Chush" Diamond, a priceless treasure of the Leningrad Museum was discovered to be a fake.
A microscopic investigation revealed the engraved letters MGP.
MGP, like the egg.
I think it's time we pay our friend Mr.
Browning another visit.
I don't think he'll be overjoyed at us barging in and accusing him of being a criminal.
We're not accusing him of anything.
The note said MGP would help us.
What if he won't? I think I know a way to convince him.
Hi, fashion fanatics.
Today's Kelly special update is about one thing that never goes out of style.
Hot guys! I know! Hey, Kel, you know what you should do? Have me film you from back here, that way all your followers can get a real sense of what a hot guy's room is like, right? I know! Great idea, Jess.
You know me.
Jess.
I'm gonna go in the hall, that way I can get the whole man cave in the shot.
When I say "action," turn around.
Okay.
Action! Hi, fashion fanatics! The Jessica Hunter, you open this door right this minute.
There you are.
What did you find? Something that's gonna help us.
We gotta go.
Okay.
Tell me everything on the way.
I'm coming, too! Uh-uh.
It could be dangerous.
Then we better come along to protect you.
- Besides, it's better than staying here.
- Help! Daniel! Help! Daniel! Help! Wait.
Where's my phone? Help me! This is actually one of the most important parts of the job.
What? Getting blisters on our feet doing nothing? We're not doing nothing.
We're being here.
Just being here makes people feel safe and it deters crime, and I really like having a personal connection with the people on my beat.
It sounds pretty cool, but I bet it doesn't compare to the adrenaline rush you get when something big goes down, right? Right? Something big goes down? Yeah.
Hunter.
Turn around.
Hey, man, look at my uniform.
How cool is this? This me or what? It's got the black, it's got the yellow stripes.
Look at the Look at the logo, dude, look at the logo, how cool is that? I'm right here.
Put the phone down, calm down.
We need your help, let's go.
I can't leave, I'm on duty.
No, you're not.
Okay, this is important.
It could help us get Erik and Kate back.
Well, let me just give this back.
No, no, no, leave it on, leave it on.
I can't steal from the cops, especially not from Simone.
You're not stealing it, you're already borrowing it, come on.
You're just gonna borrow it a little further away.
Daniel! We're back.
And we found our magpie.
So you won your little scavenger hunt.
That's not what I'm talking about.
This is what I'm talking about.
Dude.
Oh! Sorry.
Wrong picture, this is what I'm talking about.
Look familiar? 'Course it does.
You even signed your own work.
MGP, Magpie.
Oh, don't even think about making a run for it.
There's a cop outside.
I wonder what kind of promotion they would give him for bringing in the notorious Magpie? What do you want from me? To offer you a job.
A job? What kind of job and who are you? We're the Hunters.
Ah! Daniel! It worked.
You better go return the jacket now.
Oh, yeah? Oh, gosh, I was just getting into it.
I don't know if I can handle going back to civilian life now.
Uh, this is yours, by the way.
Is that the key to my room? What are you doing with it? I may have sort of locked Kelly in there.
You did what? Why? It's a long story.
You better go make her day and rescue her.
Thanks a lot, Tess.
Listen, it was years ago that I broke into the Hunter museum to steal the egg.
The forgery I made was so they wouldn't even know it was gone.
They caught me red-handed, but they didn't turn me in.
Instead, Eric made me a deal that changed my life.
He said, if I would give up my life of crime, they'd let me keep my freedom.
Why, they even let me keep the egg.
But why would they do that? Yeah.
It's worth a fortune.
Erik and Kate care more about people than they do fortunes.
I guess they saw a talent in me that they didn't want me to throw away by rotting in jail.
Well, that's pretty nice of them.
Now it's your chance to return the favor.
Anything.
What can I do? How good are you with diamonds? O-M-G! Daniel! Hi.
Let's get you home.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, hi! This is not what it looks like.
O-M-G What's going on here? She was locked in my room.
What? Yeah, Jesse locked me in there, bless her.
I know! Whatever, just give me the jacket back, Daniel! And who is this? Another uncle? No, he's a friend.
No, he's the handyman.
And a handyman.
And a friend of Erik and Kate's.
And what's this handyman friend here to do? Fix the heating system.
Oh, fix the toilet.
Uh, this old place, it needs so many repairs.
If it wasn't for our good old handyman friend, uh, it would all fall apart.
And does this handyman friend have a name? Browning! You old sack of dirt! Rhinus, you smelly old goat! You still guarding museums? Well, not for the moment now, but I'm still keeping an eye on you, old thief.
Come on.
Just so I got this straight, why did he just call your uncle Casper Rhinus? And what did he mean by "thief"? What's going on here? Yeah, no more lies! In! Guys! Guys!
