Hunter Street (2017) s01e10 Episode Script
Contact
1 (Eugene) Sneaking out in the middle of the night stealing a family heirloom, disobeying our direct orders.
Did you really think you'd get away with this? You impudent rabble.
He's saying we're impertinent.
(whispers) What? (sighs) He hates us, okay? Right.
(Hedwig) And for the most impudent of all, we have a little surprise.
(tires screeching, honking) (Hedwig laughs) Right on time.
Don't go anywhere.
Oh, I don't think they will.
(chuckles) (Sal) Oh, no! Blackfriars Orphanage.
(van door opens, closes) Is somebody hiding? Hm? Hm.
Enough.
Where is that miserable piece of filth? Don't look at me.
He never tells me anything.
(gulps) You little one.
Surely, you know where he is.
I may have a piece of candy if you tell me where he is.
Sorry, were we supposed to watch Max? You didn't tell us.
(man clears throat) If you can wait just a few minutes, I'm sure we will find the boy in no time.
(Hedwig) Wait! Where are you going? Don't leave! (creaking) (thudding) (clattering) We will search this place inch by inch until we find that little rat! And you're all grounded! Get up to your bedrooms! (Eugene, through wall) Roll call tomorrow, 5:00 a.
m.
so you won't forget who's in charge in this house.
Understood? I think it's a good thing.
A good thing? Yeah.
A good thing how? Who cares where the filthy urchin is? If he ran way, so much the better.
We want all those brats out of our hair.
One down, four to go.
That's true.
And it's only a matter of time before we stick the other little rats in new foster homes.
Then this house and everything in it will belong to its rightful owners: us, the real Hunters.
(laughing) (phone dings) (phone vibrating) Max? We shouldn't talk on the phone.
It's too risky.
We have to meet, okay? It's important.
Text everyone and tell them to meet in our room.
Nobody's supposed to leave their room until roll call.
Oh, big deal.
Look, listen.
I heard Eugene and Hedwig talking.
(disconnect beeps) Sal? Max? What? The unit is down.
(Tess) We need Internet access for schoolwork.
The horsie ponies were gonna have a pillow fight.
It's a game.
We probably just need to reset the router.
I'm not a technological person.
Are you talking about this thing? (Sal gasps) You monsters! What did you do?! We felt that all your devices were too distracting.
And so we've shut everything down.
But how did you take down the phone network? You can't control that.
Ever hear of a signal jammer? Of course you have.
You're a smart boy.
But just to be safe, we will take your phones.
Now.
(kisses) Now.
And just so we can keep an eye on you mutts, you'll all be sleeping in the same room tonight.
(sighs) (stomach growls) (quietly) You'll eat when it's safe.
(growling intensifies) I heard that.
(door slams) Don't you think it would be better to put an extra lock on the door? (chuckling) My watchfulness is boundless, Hedwig.
Not even a mouse could pass without me noticing it.
(plate clanks) This is a nightmare! It's just a game, Nika.
It's not just that.
I'm cut off.
How am I supposed to know what's happening in the world? What if Neuterella dropped a Newspond? I've got FOMO bad! Any idea what she's talking about? Kids these days.
(cell phone ringing) What? Who? (ringing continues) (relaxed sigh) Hello.
(Saginesh) I don't appreciate being treated like a fool.
(glass breaking) No more fakes.
Tomorrow, you'll hand over the real diamonds, 3:00 p.
m.
At the docks.
Or you'll never see Kate and Erik again.
(clock ticking) (floor creaking) (floor creaking) (Anika) Gross.
Now we have to hand over the real diamond.
How are we gonna do that when they've got us on lockdown? Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
(lock turns) (all shout) Max! (all shushing) (quietly) Max.
(Eugene snoring) (muttering) (Max) What'd I miss? We heard from Saginesh.
He found out the diamond was fake.
We have to do something.
We're all getting out of here now.
I just heard Gene and Hedy talking.
They're gonna split us up.
New foster families for all of you.
Why? With us out of the way, they can take over the house and everything in it.
We have to hide.
Won't that make it easier for them? We can come up with a plan and we all be together.
Where can we go? I don't know.
Amsterdam does have some nice parks.
Guys, don't listen to Max, we're not living in a park.
Next thing he'll say we should live on a canal.
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
(church bell ringing, clock dinging) Ah.
Oh.
9:00.
Morning roll call.
(whistle blowing) Hedwig! Hedwig! Hedwig, listen wha What's on your face? Oh, well it's this fantastic Oh, never mind.
The kids, they're gone.
Gone? What do you mean gone? Well, you know, gone.
I thought you were guarding them.
I told you we should have got an extra lock on that door, but no, what did you say? (mocking) "Oh, my watchfulness is boundless.
(doorbell ringing) Not even a mou" Who could that be? Well, how would I know? Good morning.
Good morning.
I got a phone call from the kids' school.
None of them showed up this morning.
Oh, I don't see how that can be.
So, they're not here? No, of course not.
No.
No, we gave them a hearty breakfast and sent them on their way.
(Hedwig) With an extra hug for each of them.
Extra hug, yes.
Well, they never got there.
Oh Oh, those poor kids, out there all alone.
Who knows what's become of them? Well, the children are your responsibility.
May we come in? Oh, yes, of course.
Of course you can.
They're probably just playing hooky.
Hedwig, look who's here.
(Hedwig) I'm not ready for guests.
(phone beeps) Hello.
The police and child welfare are here.
They say you disappeared, where are you guys? Uh Can I help you? (distorted voice) You've got questions, I have answers.
Follow me.
Where are you taking me? Just follow me.
(distant chatter) Hey, Rhinus! Hey, Rhinus! Of course, Kate and Eric's loon steamer.
I could have known.
Sal's app is, like, all voices.
We thought to go Saginesh style.
(chuckling) Great thinking.
Whoa! Did you sleep here last night? So, you didn't run away, huh? Well, not very far away.
It's pretty brave of you to be out here on your own.
Kate and Erik wouldn't be proud of you.
Tim and Simone were really giving it to your aunt and uncle.
They're worried.
Simone is worried? Maybe I should call her.
Does anyone have a phone? We need your help.
We have to hand the diamond over to Saginesh.
The real one.
Yeah.
But your parents told you not to We're all out of options, this is the only chance to get them back.
I understand.
So what do you need me to do? Well, the diamond is still in the house in the safe.
We need to get in there and get it back.
That's where you come in.
All right.
What do you want? Well, hello to you to, Hedwig.
I'm here to help.
Help how? Getting on my last nerve.
Looking for the kids.
I heard they disappeared.
Oh, yes, the children.
Yes, you must be worried sick.
Oh, absolutely sick to my stomach.
Right, me too.
So, I I thought, don't just sit around.
Do something instead of twiddling your thumbs.
And here I am.
Well, what do you think you can do? There's no sign of the poor little munchkins.
We've looked everywhere.
Well, maybe you did, but on the other hand, I know those kids pretty well.
I might know some places you don't know to look.
So What are we waiting for? Yeah.
They could be in danger.
What about your brother? What about him? Well, uh, he can come too.
That way we can cover more ground.
Good idea.
Yes.
Eugene Eugene.
We're going to look for the children, so grab your jacket, come on.
Yes.
No dawdling.
Quickly.
We should go that way.
This way, this way.
Hurry up.
Just continue, straight on.
(Hedwig) Yes, yes, yes.
Straight on.
You can do it.
All right, all right.
(lever clicks) (hinge squeaking) (dial clicking) We got everything.
And we have food! (Anika) Yes! Yes.
(talking over each other) I'm having withdrawal symptoms! And when there's no Internet, I start eating.
(talking over each other) We have a lot.
Shh! (Sal) What? Anything on the missing juveniles? Keep me posted, Sierra 4-5 out.
(Tim) They're gonna be okay.
How do you know? They've been through so much.
Poor Daniel.
He's been taking care of all of these kids by himself, but he's also just a kid.
What?! No, I'm not! (all shushing) (Tim) Did you hear something? No.
Come on, we should check the hospital.
(Sal) Nikka! Mine! You need to share! This is the tracking device.
With this chip, you can trace someone's location whenever and wherever you want.
Whoa, can I connect it with Simone? Now I'm connecting this chip to this pouch.
The diamond please.
I'm just joking.
I totally have it.
Here you go.
Okay.
(sharp exhale) Now, we can trace this diamond's location within 20 meters or less.
Killing it, dude.
But only if there's an Internet connection.
Did somebody say Internet? Can I? Can I? Nikka! Nikka! (distant chatter) You're Max? Yeah.
You got a package for me? Where's your cape and hood? What? Your cape and your your hood.
Who rides a bike with a cape? Never mind.
You got the package? Right.
Right.
Here.
All right.
Wait, that's that's it? You don't have, like, like, uh, directions or message for me or something.
Oh, right.
Thank you.
What's this? For receipt.
There you go.
Thanks.
Have a good one.
(Max) Wait Bicycle.
Smart move.
It's fast and maneuverable, the best way to beat traffic.
You sound like a commercial for Amsterdam Tourist Bureau.
It might be the best way to beat traffic, but it's not the only way.
(Tess) Sal, hurry up.
Where are we on the map? Around here.
Do you have any idea which route he's taking? (Daniel) Yes, I see him! Yeah!? Where? (Sal) There he is.
You gotta go faster.
Can you go faster, Daniel? Aye aye, Captain.
(motor accelerating) (Tess) He's right there! Oh, wait, he's coming this way.
He's coming this way.
Wait, he's on the map.
He's right here.
Yeah.
We're literally here, where is he? There he is, come on! (Sal) Go, go! We got him now.
(Sal) We're gonna lose him.
Guess what? The Hunters have a boat.
And it's missing.
You think the kids took it? Either that or it's a pretty big coincidence.
All units this is Sierra 4-5, be on the look-out for a party boat named Kate II.
Possibly on board, four missing juveniles and one almost adult.
I repeat, four missing juveniles and one almost adult.
Almost adult?! Where is he? I don't know.
(beeping) See him anywhere? It's going towards the bridge.
Oh, yes! I see him.
I see him! You do? You do? He's going right there.
Turn right, he went right.
No, he went left.
No, he went right.
Left? Right? Guys, guys, which way? Just go starboard.
Star board? Star Just go right.
Starboard Go right.
Right.
All right, I'm going right.
(Sal) He's right there.
So, now we have to go that way.
What are you doing?! Go back to the helm! He should be right here.
Guys! It's empty.
Saginesh was onto us.
(sirens approaching) Great, they were onto us too.
Oh, thank goodness.
Oh, my precious nieces and nephews.
We missed you so much.
(Eugene) Yes, we've been looking all over town for you.
That's how worried we were.
Frankly, I don't understand how you could let this happen.
These children were left in your care.
It's not our fault.
They're like wild animals.
We're old people.
Yes.
You can't expect us to be chasing them around all the time.
They're lying.
The first thing they wanted was to get rid of us.
Uh! No No No.
No.
We love them like they're our own children.
Is that really the truth? (phone beeps) I think it's a good thing.
Good thing, how? Well, who cares where the filthy urchin is? If he ran away, so much the better.
We want all those brats out of our hair.
One down, four to go.
You give that to me! And it's only a matter of time before we stick the other little rats in new foster homes.
Then this house and everything in it will belong to its rightful owners: us, the real Hunters.
You little Monster.
So, I guess this house will never be yours.
Come on, let's go.
It's not our fault.
No, it was his See ya! Bye! (Anika) I'm going to miss you so much.
(Daniel) So am I.
(talking over each other) Bye! (tablet beeping) (Daniel) The door's over here, come on.
On the streets with you.
(door closes) (beeping continues) Guys! Come here, quick! Hey!
Did you really think you'd get away with this? You impudent rabble.
He's saying we're impertinent.
(whispers) What? (sighs) He hates us, okay? Right.
