Hunter Street (2017) s01e13 Episode Script

1 I'm Gertrude.
I'm one of the relatives.
Another aunt? Dude, I swear this family's got aunts crawling out of the woodwork.
Well, actually, I'm a cousin.
There are a lot of us.
I understand you've been having some trouble finding the Red Diamond.
Well, we found the locket that Jan Saganash made for it.
But it was empty.
Hmm.
Hey Did you find anything else? Uh, a couple of letters that Jan Saganash wrote to Josephine Hunter.
One was a love letter and the other was kind of opposite.
He was seriously mad that she dumped him.
Yeah, we think he took the diamond with him to Indonesia.
(Tess) And the ship sank.
And it's probably somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.
My, my, you've found out quite a bit.
Okay, but, what now? We're kind of at a dead end here.
Maybe your Aunt Cassandra can lead the way.
Aunt Cassandra? Another aunt? How big is this family? Good luck.
You guys know Aunt Cassandra? Not in person, but I think I know where she hangs out.
So, Aunt Cassandra was Josephine's older sister? (Tess) Yup, never got married.
(Sal) And no children.
I can see why, she's scary looking.
Maybe she was a witch.
Maybe she's a ghost and her spirit is haunting us.
Maybe (all) Anika! Sorry.
So, Aunt Cassandra, show us the way Well, now what? (alarm beeping) Wake up, you lazy slug! Leave me alone.
(Sal coughing) Are you okay? You look terrible.
I'm (coughing) You should stay home today.
I can't stay home.
(sniffing) We're doing a special unit on neutron interaction.
I've been looking forward to it all week.
(sniffles) That's today? I've been looking forward to that all year, too.
Come on.
You get out of bed! All right.
What's that? Oh, nothing, um I'll be right down.
Is something bothering you? Yeah, um Sal.
He's just coughing like a seal lion with that cough.
Kept me up all night.
(dance music playing) What's going on!? Why aren't you dressed for school? Anika's already on break.
She's practicing for dance team tryouts.
They're right after vacation.
Since when is she into dancing? Since she heard that Janine was trying out too.
Janine? Janine Brule, the Brule twins? Janine and Julius.
AKA "Pain and Suffering", AKA "Doom and Gloom.
" AKA "Bumps and Bruises.
" Got any more? (doorbell chiming) "Plain and Simple?" Nice.
Hello? Are you guys deaf? There's somebody at the door.
Hello.
My name is Peters, and I'm with the Department of Building Safety.
Are your parents in? Well, Mr.
Peter Peters.
Peters.
Peter Peters.
But is it Peter or Peters? It's both, it's Peter Peters.
Your parents, please? They're not here right now.
But my almost grownup brother is.
I can go get him.
Yes, please.
We've had reports that houses in the neighborhood are experiencing leakage and mold problems.
We have to inspect the ceilings and the load-bearing walls.
What are load-bearing walls? Could I speak with this grownup brother, please? Almost grownup.
Wait here.
Hey, Daniel, there's a guy So, Anika, you're gonna beat, uh, "Pain" Brule? Or is she "Suffering?" Absolutely not.
Why not? You're a great dancer.
The routines they do on the dancing were really difficult.
(exhales) I don't think I'm gonna try out.
No, no, no! Never give up.
Lucky for you, your older brother is the king of the dance floor.
(dance music playing) Hey, homeboy's got some moves.
Yes, I was a finalist at the Provincial Championships.
Really? Once I'm done with you, Janine Brule will know what pain and suffering is all about.
All right.
Pow.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Peter Peter Peters, he's at the door.
Peter Peters? He says there are loads of bears in the walls or something like that? I have no idea.
I took a look at the, um load-bearing walls and I was right.
Major problems.
I'll have to come back tomorrow for further inspection.
Wait, uh, Mister, uh, Peters? I'm Daniel Hunter.
What's going on? This house may be in serious danger of collapsing.
You'll have to evacuate.
Have a nice day.
(door closes) Hey! Whoo-hoo! Max! No, yeah, right, totally.
Is something wrong? Nah, nope, just Better go get ready for school, right? Don't wanna be late.
Right.
Since when are you on time for class? I'm always on time.
Or I was, like, once.
Never too late to start, right? All right, later.
Ooh (exhales) All right, ready? Okay, make sure you count, okay? Mm-hmm.
And start with your right foot.
Mm-hmm.
So, count, five, six (both) Seven, eight.
(dance music playing) Good, now turn and Dougie.
And Dab.
And turn.
Janine, what are you doing here? Your nerdy brother let me in.
Well, I'm practicing.
Well, you better keep on practicing.
Your Dougie was a mess.
And your Dab looks like you were trying to block a sneeze.
You'll never make the dance team.
And you will? Of course.
I've been dancing since I could walk.
I've had private lessons in ballet, tap, modern, hip-hop, you name it.
Beat that.
Hm, big whoop.
Anybody can take classes.
Anika's working with a private choreographer who's designed routines just for her.
Yeah, right.
Oh, if you're such a fly girl, why don't you prove it? Are you challenging me to a That's right.
Dance-off.
You against Anika.
Okay, we don't have to go there, right? Name the time and place.
Tomorrow morning, our place.
You're on.
Prepare for humiliation, losers.
Why did you do that? She's way better than me! Maybe she is now, but she won't be in 24 hours.
Come on, let's practice, let's go.
(both) Five, six, seven, eight.
Hello? Anybody here? (projector starts) (man) Don't you like what you see? Saganash? I'm so glad you accepted my invitation.
What do you want from me? Is that me? Don't you recognize yourself? Is that Is that my birth mom? Why should I tell you? All you've done is cause me trouble, you and your so-called siblings.
We've caused you trouble? What do you call kidnapping our parents? You mean Erik and Kate? Those people who took you in and said they'd love you like one of their own? What do you want from me? I don't have the Blue Diamond anymore.
Wouldn't you rather be with your real parents? What's so interesting in here that you keep staring at? Look really close, Max.
I'll bet you want to meet her, don't you? How would you even know who my parents are? Oh, there's nothing I don't know about you.
Okay, but I still don't know what you want.
Okay, I don't have the diamond anymore, I told you.
True, you don't have the blue one.
But now I need you to help me get the red one.
We don't have the red one either.
And we have no idea where it is so there's nothing I can do.
Oh, stop talking like one of those incompetent Hunters.
Be yourself, be bold, be Max.
I don't know what you want me to do.
We haven't been able to find anything.
I mean, Cassandra's map could be anywhere.
Cassandra's map, eh? Hm, it sounds like you do know something.
Bring the map to me, and I'll tell you how to find your parents.
You have until tomorrow morning.
(sighs) Five, six, seven, eight.
Seven, eight.
(dance music playing) Oh, are you okay? That's it, this is hopeless, I quit.
No, no, don't quit.
You're a Hunter.
Hunters don't quit.
That's easy for you to say.
You're a trained athlete.
You can make your body do whatever you want.
I can, can't I? Whoo, wha.
Hey, come on.
I wasn't born this way.
I trained.
And it wasn't easy and lots of times I, I wanted to give up.
But I didn't.
And it paid off.
Maybe I should just beat Janine at something else, like roller skating backwards or eating doughnuts.
I know I'm better than her at that.
Oh, of course you are.
But you can beat her at this, too.
You just have to believe in yourself.
If you believe in yourself, you can do anything you want.
You really think? Yes.
You just need to practice a little more.
Okay, a lot more, but we can do it.
All right? Okay.
Five, six, seven, eight.
(dance music playing) And turn.
Good, that was good.
Pow.
Where were you? I waited for you after school.
I was hungry.
Look Cassandra's eye.
What's Cassandra's eye? This is or was.
I was trying to find the map, then I remembered what Gertrude told me.
"Let Cassandra lead the way.
" She was staring right at it.
This is Cassandra's eye, check it out.
It's called a laterna magica.
Magic lantern.
It's like an early version of the projector.
You put in photographs printed on glass and it projects them.
This one belonged to some great aunt of Erik's.
Cassandra! Cassandra! Jinx! Jinx! (Sal) Look, a blue and a red diamond.
Butterfly Dab! You rock, girl.
Thanks to my private choreographer.
Best big brother in the world, am I right? Pow.
How's Sal doing? I think he's okay.
It's Max I'm worried about.
He's acting a little strange, don't you think? Yeah.
Ever since he first arrived.
I'm glad somebody else noticed besides me.
No, he's been acting extra strange, different.
Like, he's trying too hard to be normal.
Saganash? Got something for you.
Hello? Is it Cassandra's map? Something like that.
But first I wanna know who my parents are First you show me what you've got.
Then I'll give you their names.
Guys, the laterna's gone! (doorbell chimes) (Peter) Good morning, I'm here to conduct more tests on the load-bearing walls.
Due to the mold situation.
I have a few questions about that.
Wouldn't mold be a health issue as opposed to a structural integrity problem? Uh Well Uh, yes, but you see, um, the bricks and wood are somewhat porous in this house.
What about our neighbor's house? You know, our neighbor? Mister Brule.
Weren't you ever there yesterday? Yes.
I'm inspecting a, um, number of houses in the district.
May I get on with my work, please? (sighs) Oh.
Is this some kind of joke? That's not a map.
That's all I got.
How's this supposed to help me find the Red Diamond? I don't know, but I held up my part of the bargain.
Now it's your turn.
Where are my parents? (Tess) He's got the slide! Why did you do this?! I don't know, he had pictures, like, of my parents.
He said he'd tell me who they were if I helped him.
I messed up big time, okay? That slide was the only lead to get the Red Diamond and our parents back.
Well, my parents anyway.
I know, and I'm really sorry, okay? I'll make it better, what do I have to do? Get the slide back! So, what'd they look like, your parents? I know her.
I've seen her somewhere.
How is that possible? This picture is over ten years old.
This lady's in a phone commercial.
I'm sure of it.
Saganash played you.
So, she's not my mom.
Let's go, come on.
You're not mad at me? Of course I'm mad at you! But, we're family.
And we'll always be.
All right, remember, start with your left foot.
And count, always count, okay? You've got this.
Don't worry, Brule, I'll make so much water damage, they'll have to evacuate.
(chuckling) Ladies and gentlemen (whooping and cheering) Are you ready for Anika? Let's go, let's go! Unh! (whooping and cheering) Oh, nah, nah.
(cheering) (shutter clicks) (cheering) Oh, selfie! (dripping) (cheering) Oh, nah, nah, nah.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Butterfly (cheering) Oh, pow! (ceiling creaking) (cheering) Oh, oh! I I hereby officially declare this house is condemned.
Hi, Uncle Peter.
Uncle Peter? No, no, no, no, I'm, I'm not their uncle.
That's why I saw you with Brule.
He's behind this.
Um, you all have to leave this house, it's unsafe.
You made the ceiling collapse by flooding the upstairs.
No, I didn't.
Then why do you have that hose? I'm, uh, afraid I must be going.
(Tess) Wait! I've got some questions! (Sal) We have to be careful.
Peters works for Brule.
My guess is that he stole the laterna and the slide.
(Max sighs) I took it.
What? And then I lost it.
I'm really sorry, guys.
I know you're mad at me but not as mad as I am at myself right now.
Why? To give to Saganash.
You're kidding? He promised me he'd show me who my mom was.
And tell me how to find her.
He even showed me pictures that all looked so real.
But of course it was a lie.
And now I've lost everything.
So, I'm really sorry, you guys.
I'd have done the same.
Me too.
And me too.
So would I.
Thanks, guys.
The good news is Saganash doesn't know that the slide's related to Cassandra's map anymore than we do.
Cassandra's map? I know where that is! Ha, funny, Anika.
I'm serious.
All you guys said was you were looking for Aunt Cassandra to lead the way or something.
We're looking for a map.
And we may have found it, but it's not a map.
It's a slide.
But we have the map.
Seriously, what do you guys do when you're sitting on the toilet? Uh, do we need to go there? (Anika) Just a moment.
That's just an old map of Amsterdam.
I guess you never really looked at it.
Here, Cassandra's Canal, Cassandra's Park, and Cassandra's Square.
It's all Cassandra.
There's diamonds.
That's right here at the house.
These are the same diamonds as on the slide.
We need to get that slide back.
