Hunter Street (2017) s01e12 Episode Script

1 Nika, Sal, thank goodness.
Are you okay? We're fine, but getting kidnapped was pretty scary.
(Anika) We only got away 'cause I told Stella and Arthur I had to go to the bathroom and I took so long that Daniel came to rescue us.
Oh, it was nothing.
I just did what anybody would have done in the situation.
Why would Saganash send those people to kidnap Nika and Sal? He really wants that diamond.
And he'll do anything to get it.
Yeah, but fake foster parents, that's low.
That's why we want you out of there and to a safe place as soon as possible.
Even if it means splitting up temporarily.
Uh-uh.
We're not doing that.
We tried that once and that really wasn't safe.
We're the safest when we're all together.
Because we know who we can trust.
Hunters forever.
And that's great, guys, and we love you for it, but there's only so much you can do.
You are still kids.
I'm al Almost 18.
I know that, Daniel.
Yes, it's still too much.
You need help.
We've got help.
From who? The relatives.
You found the relatives? Well, they kind of found us.
They have the blue diamond.
Well, that's good news.
They were talking about a red diamond too.
So it's true.
There is a red diamond.
According to family legend, back in the 1600s, young Saganash gave the red diamond to Josephine Hunter.
He was in love with her.
So in love, he named his trading ship after her.
The Josephine.
Where is the diamond? Well, we don't know.
We need to find out.
No, kids, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
You don't have to do that.
We don't want you taking any chances, please.
Just stay safe.
Do you promise? Promise.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
We have to go now, but we'll be in touch real soon.
And we love you.
Love you too.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Bye.
No way I'm keeping that promise.
I feel bad for lying to Erik and Kate.
So do I, but we didn't have a choice.
We have to find that red diamond.
Come on, you guys, breakfast.
It's getting cold.
You made a hot breakfast? Dude, you're my hero.
Wait, what's with this lunch? Where's the pancakes and bacon? Pancakes? Not on my watch.
You know what all those carbs do to your body? Good morning, Salvatore.
You ready for a healthy blend of vitamins and minerals to get your brain firing for school? I think I should stay home from school today.
Sal are you okay, man? You in there? Please come back, buddy.
Does he feel warm? No, he feels sticky.
Why don't you want to go to school today? We have to find that red diamond.
And we have no idea where to look.
Unless we do.
Huh? The Josephine.
What about her? Not her, it.
The ship, the Josephine ship.
Technically, all ships are referred to as a she, so in either way Do you want to be the grammar police or do you want to find the diamond? Come on.
May I present the Josephine.
I must have walked past this thing a thousand times.
I never paid any attention to it.
This is Jan Saganash's ship? I thought it would be bigger.
Where did he sit? It's just a replica, Nika, a scale model.
The real Dutch trading ships in the 16 and 1700s were as long as a basketball court, carried hundreds of people and held tons of cargo.
So how does that help us? I think Saganash built this model to give it to Josephine.
Let's search it.
Bingo.
Anybody know how to read 1600s kitchen scratch? "Josephine, my beloved angel, love of my life.
" Oh, it's so romantic.
Saganash from the 1600s sounds a lot nicer than today's version.
"Tomorrow I sail for the colonies.
"We shall be separated for many months, perhaps years.
"There will be countless dangers "and I don't know if I shall return at all.
"My thoughts shall be only of you, my love.
How can I draw breath without you near?" This is pure gold.
Come on.
No girl would ever fall for some sappy stuff like that.
Josephine did.
Good point.
"When my lord's eyes be idle, "you shall find me at the stroke of noon "where your eyes lead you "when the sun shines upon your house.
"I shall give you proof of my love "to help you remember why you wait for my return.
"Forever yours with all my loving heart, Jan Saganash, November 1624.
" What does it mean? It means that Jan and Josephine had a thing going while she was married to our great-great-great-great grandfather.
Yeah, you missed a great.
Do you think the proof of his love was the red diamond? I bet it was.
"When my lord's eyes be idle, "you shall find me at the stroke of noon "where your eyes lead you when the sun shines upon your house.
" This reminds me of a song Kate used to sing to me when I was little.
Remember, guys? Yes.
Yes.
Who can sail without the wind Sail across the ocean Say goodbye to dear old friends Without tears falling Who can sail without the wind Sail across the ocean You okay? Did Erik and Kate ever send any foster kids away? Yeah, lots.
Wait, really? No! Everyone who comes here just kind of fits.
It's hard to explain.
What if I don't fit? What do you mean? They hardly know me.
I was only here a day before they disappeared.
What if they come back and they don't like me? You know, what if they They send you back? It wouldn't be the first time.
It's not gonna happen.
You're a Hunter all the way, same as me, same as all of us.
You think so? Just relax.
You're part of the family.
This used to be Josephine's house, right? Yeah, why? "You shall find me at the stroke of noon "when your eyes lead you where the sun shines upon your house.
" It's almost noon.
Eh, man, what's going on? Simone said she was coming by for lunch.
I assumed she was going to be getting some food at a restaurant.
I've got it under control.
Home cooking is much healthier.
So, what's for lunch? Salmone italiano.
A secret recipe I learned from an Italian friend of Erik's.
Smells amazing.
You know, I'd invite you to stay, but I don't think we have enough.
That's okay.
Gives me the perfect opportunity to ask Simone out.
No! I mean, uh, no.
You don't have to go out.
I just remembered we have some chicken in the fridge.
If I serve that with the pasta and the salad, there's plenty for all of us.
That's great.
So, I'll help.
Shall I set the table? That'd be great.
Cool, thanks.
Hurry! It's almost noon.
(blows) You're afraid of heights? No! Then get up there! See? Not afraid of anything.
Except small, dark spaces? It's like that.
And spiders? That's normal.
All right.
It's almost time.
All right.
I'm just really attracted to strong women, you know? Doesn't really matter what her job is.
It's more of an attitude.
She could be in business a doctor or a cop.
Does Simone ever talk about me? (sets down utensil) You know, it's funny you ask.
Um, the other day she actually, she No.
Sorry.
Not at all.
So, um, Simone ever, uh mention me? You? Now that you mention it actually no, she never even mentions you.
It's almost time.
56, 57 58 59 (Max) The stroke of noon.
"Your eyes lead you when the sun shines upon your house.
" My eyes lead you across the canal to your neighbor's place? That house was there in the 1600s? Doesn't look like it? Wonder what's behind it.
(gasps) The Maritime Museum.
"And I shall give you proof of my love to help you remember why you wait for my return.
" What proof? The red diamond.
Let's go! Yo, we have to go to the Maritime Museum like right Just in time for lunch.
Mmm, looks good, but we actually I don't know what you're up to, but we promised your parents we'd look after you.
Yeah, no, but right now, you have to go.
No, she doesn't.
Yes, she does.
And you too, Tim.
Of course he does.
What's going on? I can't say.
It's too embarrassing.
It's okay, Max.
Whatever it is, just tell us.
Um we have lice.
I don't know how it happened.
Uh, somebody at school must have had it.
Yeah, I think it was a goodbye present from Aunt Hedwig and Uncle Eugene.
Watch out! They could jump from off the head.
We've got this special shampoo that I think we should all go use right now.
I once heard a story about a boy and he had lice so bad, he had to shave his whole head and it never grew back.
Don't tell me that! Ow! What?! You pinched me! Sorry, I saw it jump.
So, should we do the treatment now or after lunch? Now! Now! Now! It's probably a good idea to get it taken care of as soon as possible.
Do you want to grab a bite to eat? I know a really nice place in the city center.
If you like sushi.
Oh, my gosh, I love sushi.
Well good luck, guys.
We'll check back with you later.
Yeah, uh, in two hours, maybe? Come on.
I'm not letting any lice make me bald.
Where's the shampoo? There is no shampoo.
What?! How are we supposed to get rid of There's no lice either, man.
That's just great.
Wait, wait, what's this all about? Why did you chase Simone out of the house? Sorry, bro, we had to.
Why?! We think we might have found the red diamond.
Welcome to the National Maritime Museum.
Wow, you guys are really part of the Hunter family.
it is an honor to meet you.
It's an honor to be here.
So, let's go in.
I for one can't wait to explore how the sea has shaped our country's culture.
Not so fast.
We're closed today.
Couldn't you let us in for just a few minutes? Please! What kind of security guard would I be if I let anybody walk in to the museum when it's closed? But we're not just anybody.
Our Hunter ancestors were part of the Dutch East India company.
They explored the world and helped create the history that this museum commemorates.
Well, when you put it like that go.
Explore away.
Start in the hall of the founders of the East India trading company.
It's a great way to begin the tour.
Now get out of here.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Have fun, you guys.
And don't tell anybody I let you guys in, all right? We won't.
Thank you.
All right.
There it is.
This is it, the hall of the founders of the Dutch East India company.
Guys, this museum's huge.
I know the diamond's pretty big, but it's still like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Hey, buddy.
You didn't happen to see like a red diamond someplace around here, did you? No? Good talk.
Guys, this thing moves.
Remember the letter? "my lord's eyes be idle.
" Jan Saganash was talking about his bosses.
So? Is this gonna be one of your history lessons? These are the founders of the Dutch East India company.
I'll take that as a yes.
I'm lost.
What's your point, Sal? You'll see.
Everybody rotate them.
(straining) It's heavy.
Daniel.
(clanking) Guys! Max! Max, are you okay?! Say something! Yeah, I can hear you.
I'm okay.
I'm gonna check this place out.
(water dripping) More 1600s chicken scratch.
Seriously? "Josephine, you ne'er came to meet me.
"Why, I cannot fathom.
"I intend to give to you the fiery jewel "as a token of my blazing passion.
But I shall hold to it fast instead.
" (loud bang) "Here be the chain in which the jewel would have been cradled, "as I cradle my heart within my own.
With a broken heart, Jan Saganash.
" Don't come any closer! These arms registered weapons.
Hello? (man) So, Maximilian, at last, we have a chance to talk.
Who is this? I think you know exactly who this is.
We have a lot in common, Maximilian.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You prefer Max, if I'm not mistaken.
I don't have anything in common with you, Saganash.
Ah, but you do.
We both want the red diamond, for example.
It's mine, you know? But you're getting there much faster than I imagined you would.
I didn't find it.
(laughs) No, I'm quite sure you didn't.
Listen, I think we can help each other.
We don't need your help.
We? Oh, you mean the Hunters? You think you're one of them.
Why, because they gave you a bed and a roof.
These are the Hunters we're talking about.
No matter what they say, they'll never accept you.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I know where you belong, Max.
And if you're as smart as I think you are, you'll accept my invitation.
And I'll show you your birth parents.
But only you.
Who are you? Guys, can you open the door? We can't get the door open? Did you try turning the statues? Let's try.
(Daniel) All right (all) Three two one.
Yes! Dude, you okay? While I was in there, I found something.
Let's get out of his first right now, all right? "And you shall feel as barren and unloved as I do now.
With broken heart, Jan Saganash.
" So he took the diamond with him? On his trip to the colonies? That's Indonesia? And he never came back? I'm afraid not.
So the red diamond might be at the bottom of the sea.
Oh, well, that shouldn't be too hard to find.
How much ocean is there in the world? A million miles? (Sal) 140 million square miles.
Give or take.
So we need to find out where the ship went down.
Over 350 years ago.
Hey, don't look like that.
This is progress.
Thanks to Max, we're one step ahead of Saganash.
Good going, Max.
But it was real risky for you to be there all by yourself when the museum was closed.
What if Saganash had shown up? Well, nothing happened and everyone is okay.
Thank goodness.
I'm not okay.
What's wrong, honey? I really miss you.
Oh.
Well we miss you too.
Hey, I know something that will make you feel less sad.
You just have to close your eyes and think of the last good moment we were all together.
That's what Max said.
Well, like father, like son.
Okay, close your eyes.
(Saganash) And if you respond as I think you are, you'll accept my invitation and I'll show you your birth parents.
But only you.
