He said I had to keep the phone with me

"MGP" and "Pica Pica"?
Let'’s go look it up.
[Anika] You should go with them, Danny.
They'’re clues and you'’re a cop.

We'’re doing a biology project.
Come on, superstar.
MGP is a cryptography algorithm.
It's used to transmit a symmetric key

That'’s not helpful.
But it'’s interesting.
It'’s not interesting, either.
Try, um...
Try Pica Pica.
It'’s Latin for a bird species of magpie.
Magpie.
Without the vowels, that'’s MGP.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, there--
There is, Mister...

Thanks, Mr. Browning!
What are you talking about?
I was just getting somewhere with that guy.
Did you see the way he looked when I said magpie?
I have to check something at home.
Better be important.
I knew it. They're identical.
This is the same egg as the one at Pica Pica.
So? Big deal, there's more than one.
No, there isn'’t.
The Imperial eggs are one of a kind.
Each one is unique, which means...
Either this one or the one from the shop is fake.

He said, if I would give up my life of crime,
they'’d let me keep my freedom.
Why, they even let me keep the egg.
But why would they do that?
Yeah.
It'’s worth a fortune.
Erik and Kate care more about people
than they do fortunes.
I guess they saw a talent in me
