Hunter Street (2017) s02e17 Episode Script
The Houseboat
1 Hi, Evie! You're gonna come live with me, sweetie! I'm gonna take you away from these bad people because when Eric gets convicted You mean "if" I'm convicted.
Just a formality as far as I'm concerned.
And "when" you are convicted, Evie will be placed back in my custody.
That is never going to happen.
Oh, don't be so sure, Eric.
Besides, the relatives decide who her next guardian will be.
And they're pretty fond of me.
What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty, huh, Lucia? Besides, even if Eric is convicted, I will still be here to take care of Evie.
(ANIKA) And us.
I will not let my darling stepchild live with a bunch of criminals, thank you very much.
Besides, we've lived together before.
And I'm sure the court would be delighted to reunite a family, as would be the relatives.
I know how to charm them.
- I've been married to one before.
- (KATE) Lucia We will never give up Evie.
Now, if you will be so kind, please leave our family alone.
You're only delaying the inevitable.
See you soon, dear daughter.
(KATE) Did you sleep all right? I had a scary dream about the witch chasing me.
Oh, honey, that sounds awful.
But you know what? I know you're gonna have only good dreams tonight because today, we're going to do fun things.
- We're going to visit Max! - Yes, we are! And tell him to eat healthy.
(CHUCKLING) If you say so.
- Bye! - Bye! Oh, Evie, I would get nightmares too if Lucia was trying to make me to live with her.
Hopefully going to Daniel's will get her mind off things.
What is that? It's that weird thing Evie found.
I keep thinking I've seen it somewhere.
Can I hold it? I mean - Okay, but be careful.
- I am careful.
Geez, Tess, you act like I'm gonna - (CLATTERING) - Anika! Are you psychic? How did you know I was gonna drop it? You're good.
Uh, guys? It It kind of opened.
It's a key.
Whoa, a psychic and a detective.
Tess is on fire.
What do you think it's for? Well, probably something secret otherwise it wouldn't be hidden.
Maybe it's some sort of secret treasure.
(DOOR UNLOCKS) Oh.
You have to admit, that was a bit of an anticlimax.
Why would the key to a hallway door be hidden in a tiny, little golden bird? Why don't you try another door? (DOOR UNLOCKING) Just as I suspected.
It's a master skeleton key for old locks.
Pretty amazing design.
These things are extremely rare.
Maybe Jerry used it to break into our house? So that's how he came in! To plant the clothes and the puzzle box.
And later on to steal the crown out of the super-secret room.
Hmm, just, I know I've seen this somewhere.
Wait! (JAKE) Wait, wait.
What? What? I knew it! See that cane? (ANIKA) It's the same bird.
So it's Martin's key.
- What does that mean? - Martin's the mole! Anika, shh! (WHISPERING) Sorry.
Martin's the mole! We're gonna need proof.
Well, if Martin is the mole, he'll have to contact Jerry at some point.
Maybe we can listen in on his conversations.
Tap his phone.
Ah, yes! The hunter becomes the hunted! Except we're the Hun ters.
Oh, I got it! The spied on become the spyers or the spying on The spies? That's it.
- We can make a stick tap.
- Yes.
(CHUCKLING) A stick what? This is a stick tap, a magnetic device that monitors all communication devices.
So if we plant it at Martin's house, we can listen in on all his conversations? That's all well and good, but Martin doesn't live in a normal house.
He lives in a houseboat.
If you made it waterproof? Here goes nothing.
(SONAR BEEPING) No signal.
(CLICKS TONGUE) Needs more tape.
Here goes nothing.
Again.
- (SONAR BEEPING) - (DEVICE BEEPING) - Yes, I got a signal! - Nice! - Yes Oh - (BEEPING STOPS) Wait, I lost it.
More duct tape.
Here goes nothing.
Again again.
- (SONAR BEEPING, STOPPING) - (SIGHING) Here goes nothing.
Again.
Again.
Again.
- Take four.
- (SONAR BEEPING) - Yes, I have a signal! - But it's not even in! We'll have a race trying to get to Martin's houseboat and Is that the stick tap? I thought you said spying was supposed to be small and subtle.
Yeah, but this thing has to be waterproof.
Yeah, we need a bigger fish bowl.
Or we could throw it in the bathtub, then Will this one work? Well, it should? Well, then it's done.
Let's go.
Fine.
Yeah, but, how are we going to transport it? We don't want to draw any attention.
(DING) How about the classic cake box method? I mean, it worked to get us into the Telecon building.
Okay, but what are we going to do with the cake? (ALL CHEWING) I love your ideas, Jake.
You know, we still need to figure out a way to get on Martin's houseboat.
Can't we just go up to his front door? And say what? "Hi, Martin, "can we plant this sticking tape so we can listen to your phone calls?" - Yeah.
- No! Yeah, it has to be something more unexpected.
Oh! Oh! (MOUTH FULL) Parachute onto the roof! (NERVOUS CHUCKLE) No.
Maybe something a little bit more realistic.
Mmm! Swim up from behind, an aquatic approach! - Oh, I love that idea.
- Mmm.
But I want to stay dry.
I've got it! (COMPUTER BEEPING) Guys, so the best place to stick the stick tap is on the side of the houseboat near the edge of the water.
(ANIKA) Lean more that way.
Woo-hoo! (BEEPING) You're gonna need to get a li-i-ittle bit closer.
Are we sure Jerry's even going to contact Martin? Well, if Martin is the mole, then there's no doubt Jerry will contact him because Jerry's after Max.
So he needs to let Martin know where he's going next.
Mmm.
Did Max upload anything yet? Well, he should've uploaded his Paris video this morning.
(PHONE DIALING) Oh, the video isn't up yet.
Voicemail.
Uh Where are you going? - What do you think happened? - I don't know, but Don't we have a backup of Max's green screen movies? No, I deleted them all so that Jerry wouldn't find them.
Well, what happens if he doesn't put the first video online? Well, then the wild goose chase doesn't go on and Jerry doesn't go after Max.
(JAKE PANTING) Are you okay? Uh, yeah.
I'm fine, yeah.
It's not that hard, you know.
- Would you like to peddle? - No.
No, didn't think so.
Closer.
That's it.
Little closer 'Kay, you put the stick tap Anika? - Anika? - Hi! Marti It's Martin.
- Uh, hi.
- Hi, Martin.
What're you guys doing here? We're here for uh because I can't believe it.
You guys remembered my birthday! Of course, yeah.
How could we forget? We're great at remembering stuff.
(MARTIN) Well, come on in inside.
Let's have some tea.
Oh, yeah! Put the tap in place, then good luck.
Come in, come in.
Welcome, don't mind the mess.
I can get you some tea, I can make some orange juice.
- What would you like? - Um, some tea would be nice.
- Thanks.
- Juice for me, please.
One team and one juice coming up.
Did you notice he had a different cane? (PHONE VIBRATING) Yeah, Jake? Sal! Sal, are you there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here.
Okay, uh, so we got - a little bit of a situation.
- Yeah, join the club.
Anika and Tess are inside, with Martin.
What? Did they get busted? Uh, not exactly.
He thinks they're here for his birthday.
They're in there celebrating.
Huh, must've missed that part of the plan.
Yeah, never mind that.
What do I do with the stick tap? Oh, right, okay, so just look for a good spot to place it on the outside of the houseboat where Martin can't see it.
- And just stick it there.
- All right, got it.
- Oh, and Jake? - Yeah? Stay out of sight.
If Martin sees you, I don't think he'll invite you in for a party.
- Got it.
- Okay.
All right, so, now we just need to send in a picture of Max holding the crown.
Right, but first, we need a picture of you holding the crown, then we can digitally paste in Max's face.
It's easy-peasy.
Okay, get ready.
And Hmm I think Max might hold it with a bit more style? Style? Uh Close, how about something a bit more French? French, oui oui.
(FRENCH ACCENT) Eiffel Tower French (FRENCH MUSIC PLAYING) How's that supposed to be French? (MUSIC WINDING DOWN) I don't know.
You're supposed to be the director.
Right, well, what's Max into? - Oh, movies.
- Perfect.
Hold it like you just won the Oscar for Best Director.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING) (APPLAUSE) All right, now give it a kiss.
(LAUGHING) - Just take the picture! - Smile! (CAMERA CLICKING) Hot tea coming up.
Here you go.
- (OFF-KEY SINGING) - Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Martin, Happy Birthday to you (MARTIN) Wow, I still can't get over you guys remembered I'm just gonna grab some orange juice from the fridge outside, I'll be right back.
Uh, no.
Uh, no.
Anika doesn't want juice.
Yeah, I do.
No.
You don't.
Oh, right, yeah.
Sorry, I forgot.
I can't have juice, so can I have tea instead please? Sure, but the juice is freshly squeezed (THUDDING) I'm orange tos intolerant.
So, Martin, how old did you turn? 51, can you believe it? Amazing, I still remember being 15 like it was yesterday.
(ANIKA) You don't look a day over 50.
So, what was it like riding in horse-drawn carriages? I'm actually not that old.
So, shall I do the honor of cutting the cake? (WOOD CLANKING) What was that? Probably a bird.
(MARTIN) Ah, I think you're right.
There's a nest over by the side of the boat.
They're always eating my vegetables.
Lovely birds, horrible neighbors.
(NERVOUS CHUCKLING) I'll be right back.
Uh, no, it's probably not a bird.
But it did come from the nest, I should just go check.
Oh, no.
(BICYCLE BELLS RINGING) - Oh, man.
- They look great! You look great, don't worry about it.
All right, let's get you to Paris.
(MUTTERING IN FRENCH) Ooh, that's a great photo of Max.
He's gonna love that.
Yeah, I know, right? (SAL) On my face Oh, that looks good.
So French, oui? I gotta say, looks pretty good.
Pretty good? It's a work of art.
- Let's not get carried away.
- (COMPUTER DINGS) - Wait - What? He put it online five minutes ago.
Hi, guys.
(SPEAKING FRENCH) - I made it to Paris.
- (CAR HORNS BLARING) The weather's really, really good here.
I think I'm just gonna go to my hotel now.
Oh, Kate, I'll give you my info in case you want to reach me.
(WHISPERING) Everything's still good.
Well, I'll reach out to you guys again when I get to Moscow.
And until then, later.
And, uh, oh, "ar revoir.
" - Baguette.
- (CELL PHONE DINGING) Oh, it's from Max.
"Sorry, I was having computer problems.
Video is online now.
Peace out.
" Never on time.
Well, what're we gonna do with the photo? Well, a little extra never hurt anyone.
(COMPUTER) Uploading image.
So, about cutting this cake? Hey, what flavor is it? Uh, what flavor isn't it? Yeah, it's truly an explosion for the taste buds.
A little sweet, a little buttery, - A little - It's a surprise.
Ooh, well, let me just grab a cake knife and I'll be right back.
Okay, he's using a different cane because he gave Jerry the key who left it in our house.
- So Martin's the mole.
- (SILVERWARE CLATTERING) - But he's so nice.
- (MARTIN) Be right out! I'm just grabbing my grandmother's old kitchen knife.
I only use it on special occasions.
See? It's gotta be him.
We found this in the house, remember? Hmm, think, think, think (DRILL WHIRRING) Hmm What am I doing? (WHISTLING) Anika! Tess! Guys? What's on your mind? Uh, n nothing.
You still think Martin's the mole? (SIGHING) I guess so.
How many high-ranking relatives are there? - Five.
- Hmm.
Five! Yeah, I heard you the first time.
One, two, three, four, five.
- What? - No, it's nothing! I was just wondering if One, two, three, four, five.
Five one, two, three, four, five.
It's five! What? Sal? What's going on? Maybe it's the number five.
Five relatives on the board.
Five golden points on the crown.
And look.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five sources of light.
(KATE) So? I don't know, maybe we have to blow them out.
We can try.
Okay, on the count of three.
One, two, three.
(CREAKING) - Look.
- It's a map.
Look, there's your house.
What's that? That's the Ribosh's old house.
That's the relative's headquarters.
What about these two? I don't know.
So can I be the first to cut a slice? What about another song? For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow For he's a jolly good fellow (WOOD CLATTERING) (PANTING) Jake! What in the world is going on here? Hip, hip, hooray?
Just a formality as far as I'm concerned.
And "when" you are convicted, Evie will be placed back in my custody.
That is never going to happen.
Oh, don't be so sure, Eric.
