Hunter Street (2017) s02e19 Episode Script

The Ritual

1 Yeah.
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot (DOORBELL RINGING) (ERIK) I'll get it.
(DOOR OPENING) Daniel, Simon, what brings you here? (DOOR CLOSING) (SIMON) Erik Hunter your trial has been moved up.
It will begin tomorrow.
So, I have to ask you to come with us.
Erik! It'll be okay.
I'll be back in no time.
Oh, I don't think so.
You have to remain in custody throughout this whole trial.
I'll be fine.
You take care of each other.
(DANIEL) I'm so sorry, Erik.
I'll keep you posted.
We'll think of something.
I hope so.
Does anyone have a plan yet? Well, we're still working on the phone recording of Jerry's boss to decipher who he is.
But he hung up right away.
What's there to hear? He didn't hang up right away.
Nope.
There were at least four seconds of complete silence before he hung up.
And if we crack this, we might find our mole.
But I meant the plan to get Erik out.
Luckily, I have a plan.
Well, let's hear it, Anika.
Well, we need to get Erik out, so first we dress up as FBI agents.
Then we head to the police station and demand they release him in our custody.
Then we hop on to a flight to Hawaii.
Or even better, Maui.
Here she comes with the sunglasses again.
Hey! After what happened with those bright, flashy things, I'm not taking any chances.
Guys! We're trying to listen for clues here.
Could you just stop talking for a minute, please? Thank you.
(DOORBELL RINGING) Thank goodness you're here.
The police took Erik away.
I know.
I was just informed.
That's not why I'm here.
I'm here for the crown.
I'm sorry.
Erik can't guard it anymore.
I have to take it with me.
I'm the next in line to protect it and I can't leave it here.
Those are the rules.
But he'll be back in no time.
Let's hope so.
In the meantime, I should have it.
(SIGHING) It's not fair.
I know it's hard.
I am still doing everything I can to save Erik.
You understand that, right? You know he's innocent.
That's why this will only be temporary.
I hope.
I must go.
I have a meeting with the relatives.
We'll keep in touch.
(BELL CLANKING) (SAL) This is it.
Over and out.
Now we don't even have the crown anymore.
Well, we still have the phone recording.
(SIGHING) Yeah, great.
Did you find anything, Jen? It was just silence.
I mean, what's there to get? Well, actually, if you just play it, you hear nothing.
But if you isolate the sounds, lower all the highs, boost the lows and enhance the MIDI signal, you hear (DISTORTED ELEPHANT TRUMPETING) But how's a trumpet gonna help us? Oh, that's no trumpet.
(ELEPHANT TRUMPETING) An elephant.
Okay, but where in Amsterdam are you gonna find a The zoo! I love the zoo.
Where does Rinus live? On the other side of town.
Is there anyone else who lives by the zoo? (ALL) Bernard! We need to be absolutely sure that the mole is Bernard.
No maybes anymore.
We need 100%, waterproof, bulletproof, airtight proof.
Then we have no time to lose.
Then let's go! (ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING) Are you sure this is where he lives? (TESS) Not quite.
Well, there's a zoo all right.
(ELEPHANT TRUMPETING) And an elephant trying to say hi.
(IMITATING ELEPHANT TRUMPETING) Shh! Look, I know, I should work on my animal imitations.
No, but here he comes.
Oh, shh! No, don't shush me.
Shh! Uh-huh.
I understand.
Sure.
This is our chance.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Let me call Sal.
Hey, Tess.
Hey.
We're in front of the house and we are 100% sure that it's his.
(ANIKA) I'm gonna film everything.
Nice work, Anika.
Okay.
(JAKE) Uh could could you just move slightly to the left? Yeah, turn it that Oh, wait, those are plants.
Uh, a little higher.
(SAL) Yeah, move a little up up.
- Is that okay? - Higher.
(JAKE) Keep going, that's it.
- Yup.
- Higher.
Oh no okay.
I can't go any higher.
Just go back to where you started.
- (SAL) Yeah.
- (JENNIE) Yeah.
Stop, stop, stop! Good.
There's a photo there on the mantel.
Could you zoom in on that? Sure.
(COMPUTER WHIRRING) Wait, is that Jerry? Why is he in a photo with Bernard? (JAKE) Maybe they're related.
Another very strange fashion sense.
What is that? Can you zoom in on that? Sure.
The book on the edge of the table.
(COMPUTER WHIRRING) (GASPING) - There's a sun symbol! - There's a sun symbol! So now we just gotta crack his Wi-Fi password, which is a piece of cake with this password tracker.
You're welcome.
(COMPUTER BEEPING) Right.
And (COMPUTER BEEPING) We're in.
Yes! (SAL) The video from the museum.
(COMPUTER BEEPING) And the sun symbol.
We have 100% waterproof, bulletproof, airtight proof.
Bernard is the mole.
(SAL) You can come home now, guys.
We got - Bernard's the mole.
- Bernard's the mole.
We gotta go.
(BELL CLANKING) I can't believe how much intel is in there.
I mean, emails with Lucia, bank statements, blueprints of the museum.
Everything falls perfectly into place.
So he was framing Erik so he could become leader of the relatives.
How could we miss that? What kind of self-respecting criminal doesn't wipe the evidence off his hard drive.
What a newb.
This could put him in jail for years.
(TESS) Yeah, we have to tell the relatives.
They need to know.
And we need to go to the police.
We have to show Simon that Erik's innocent.
Let's go.
Maybe leaving right now isn't the best idea.
(JAKE) Why, what's up? Remember when you locked Jerry into that container? Well, he got out.
(JAKE) Who do you think you're fooling, Jerry? That guy should be locked up.
Yeah, but the second we leave he's gonna call Bernard.
Not if he doesn't know we're leaving.
(ROCK MUSIC BLARING) Jake, turn that music down.
Tess is reading and I've got homework to do.
(TESS) Jake, turn it down.
(JAKE) Yeah, all right, sorry.
Yeah, there you go.
(JENNIE ON RECORDING) Oh, what song is that? (TESS ON RECORDING) I don't care All right, we'll keep in touch, Anika.
Call us when you get to the police station.
No problem-o.
Diane? Rinus? Martin? I don't understand.
She said there was a meeting.
Let me call Sal.
Okay, let's get to work.
Yeah.
Time to make some movie magic.
- (ROCK MUSIC BLARING) - (TESS) Jake, turn it down.
- (JAKE) Yeah, all right, sorry.
- (CELL PHONE VIBRATING) Yeah, there you go.
(SAL) Hey, Tess.
Hey, the meeting's not here.
I don't understand, there's nobody here.
Where could they be? The other locations! What are you talking about? I mean, me and Jennie found a map in the super-secret room.
There were two other locations related to the relatives, so it could be one of those.
I'll send it over.
(CELL PHONE BEEPING) (JAKE) We have to go to those locations.
Yeah, but we don't have enough time.
We need to split up.
(ANIKA) Trust me, this is big! Why won't you believe me? I'm working.
(ANIKA) Would I be here if this wasn't huge? I think you would.
We have proof Erik's innocent and you need to see it! Listen.
I'm sure you're a sweet little kid, but please please let me do my job.
And go do whatever it is little sweet kids do, okay? Unbelievable! (BIRDS CHIRPING) (CELL PHONE RINGING) Jake, I'm at the house.
Well, it's it's not a house; it's a castle.
What?! A castle?! What, with, like, knights and everything? No, no knights.
It's just a castle.
An Amsterdam castle as a matter of fact.
Oh, well, it's definitely there because whatever was here well, it's no longer here.
I mean, this place is totally empty.
Then there must be something here.
All right, well, can you get in? I don't understand.
There's a door but there's no way to get in.
Well try the handle.
There is no handle.
Maybe ring the doorbell.
There's no doorbell either.
I've got it! What? Break it down.
Jake, this is a big wooden door.
There is no way I could break it down.
Wait a minute.
What what do you see? (CREAKING) What do you see?! (TESS) I think I found a secret lock.
It's the same size as Evie's crown necklace.
We need the pendent.
- Wait, Jake - (CELL PHONE BEEPING) Ja Jake? (ANIKA) Your boss is a stubborn man.
Yeah, I've been working with Simon for awhile now and he really doesn't like being told what to do.
So sometimes you just have to make him think he came up with the plan himself.
How are we gonna do that? Watch us.
What do you want? No milk, two sugars, right? Good memory.
It's a good thing for a detective to have.
You taught him that.
Pay attention and remember everything.
Just like you taught me.
I know we're not detectives by a long shot but we're soaking in everything you say.
You two have a long way to go.
You especially.
But you've got potential.
You just have to keep listening.
Right.
Listening.
Always listen to everybody, right? Is there something else you want? (SIGHING) It's about your father, right? See, I knew a master detective like you would see through me.
You know, I I was looking at the case, imagining it wasn't my father, and then I thought Simon's right.
And I told Simone.
And and everything just made sense.
Everything just fell right into place.
And that's when I said, "Haven't you learned anything?" You know, a wise man once told me, the moment everything falls into place too easily, that's that's when you start doubting yourself.
The best detectives are always doubting themselves up until they know for sure.
That wise man was you.
Well well it is a very wise thing to say.
So then Anika came and showed me something that made me doubt my beliefs.
Well, like I said, it's a good thing to doubt.
A good detective has to do that.
Right, so so then I thought, you know, maybe you could hear her out.
What do you think? And see if I'm right to doubt things I'm doubting.
Of course.
Yeah, that's what we'll do.
We listen.
Bring her over.
- (ROCK MUSIC BLARING) - (TESS) Jake, turn it down.
(JENNIE) Is Jerry still out there? Oh yeah.
- (JAKE) Yeah, all right, sorry.
- Almost done? Yup, just a second.
Done.
I think that's the best thing we've ever made.
(TESS) Jake, turn it down.
(JAKE) Yeah, all right, sorry.
There we go.
(TESS) Jake, please turn down your music.
(JAKE) Oh, sorry.
I'll turn it down.
(TESS) Jake, turn it down.
(JAKE) Yeah, all right, sorry.
(JENNIE) Oh, what song is that? (TESS) I don't care.
Turn the music down.
(JAKE) Oh, sorry.
I'll turn it down.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (TESS) Jake, turn it down! (KATE) Guys, we're back! Anyone? Hello? (WHISPERING) Psst, Evie? Jake! (WHISPERING) Jake.
Okay (KATE) Honey? Did you see anyone? No.
(WHISPERING) Cannot let Kate know what we're up to.
She'd be too worried.
Okay, um, Evie, I need your necklace.
We need it to get into the Amsterdam castle.
Please, I promise I will I trust you.
(SIGHING) Be careful.
(ANIKA) Like I said, "This is huge.
" (SIMON) Yeah, right.
(CELL PHONE CHIMING) Well, this is all very interesting.
We should probably take a look at it just to doubt our own perspective.
One more thing.
I just got a message telling us where we need to go and we need to bring Erik.
That's what we'll do.
A good detective always follows every lead, no matter how weird or confusing.
That is so inspiring.
We've learned so much.
Let's get Erik.
(PHONE RINGING) Hello.
(ERIK) Kate, it's Erik.
Erik, are you okay? I'm fine, don't worry.
Listen, the kids figured out that Bernard is behind the whole thing.
(CLEARING THROAT) Um, and the police figured it out too.
Bernard? Really? Listen, we're we're on our way to the relatives' ritual chamber We're in a hurry.
The relatives' chamber? Where is that? I know exactly where it is.
- Let's go! - You do? We're coming now! Be safe, Erik.
You too, darling.
What's taking you guys so long?! We don't have all the time in the world! We're not going to the beach! We're in a hurry! Let's go! Excuse me? You heard me, copper.
Step on it! (TIRES SCREECHING) (JAKE SIGHING) Well, it took you long enough.
Yeah, well, I had to get this on the way.
Oh (LOCK UNLATCHING) (GEARS CRANKING) I think I'm getting the hang of this mystery puzzle stuff.
Oh, impressive.
Okay, let's go in.
One, two, three.
(DOOR CREAKING) (BIRDS CHIRPING) (WHISPERING) There's a door right there.
Come on, let's go.
(CREAKING) There's another one.
(LOCK UNLATCHING) (DOOR CREAKING) You sure you know what we're getting into? Full disclosure: not really.
Jake no.
Oh, okay.
Wait, shh.
Thank you for coming.
Since we're here, in presence of the crown, I don't suppose we're here for milk and cookies, right? (BERNARD) We're here for Come on.
(BERNARD) 'cause we're on the brink of an unprecedented moment for the relatives.
The relatives have never been without an effective leader.
(DIANE) Erik is our leader.
Interim leader.
And chances are, this time tomorrow, he'll be in prison.
He's innocent.
He'll be back.
(BERNARD) We all care about Erik.
We all hope he's found innocent.
The past few weeks have shown us how vulnerable we are.
We all care about Erik.
But his actions lately have been dubious, and his children have been quite a nuisance.
Always trespassing, breaking the rules.
(DIANE) So, who would you propose to be the next leader of the relatives? Martin Rinus me? (BERNARD) That is an excellent question.
I think we'd all be excellent candidates.
I think it's coming from there.
(BERNARD) Rinus is the oldest.
He's seen the most.
Martin possibly the smartest.
And you, Diane, always fare and sharp in your judgment.
To to be honest I think I'd be a great leader myself.
After all, I've been doing most of the tasks for the past couple of months.
So, this is why you called us here.
Well, I don't think it's useful for us to wait any longer.
Okay.
Stop!
