Found another one! Yes!
You're breezing through your
birthday present scavenger hunt, Nika.
Well, when it comes to birthday presents,
I'm very motivated.
Even though the map looks like it was drawn by a monkey...
Hey!...wearing a blindfold.
What do you want from me?
Jake's the artist in this family. Not me.
If you can't read Sal's map, I could give you a clue...
No, Erik, no clues,
she's finding them fast enough on her own.
It's okay, I know the rest are upstairs.
Well, I think that looks good enough to eat.
Isn't that the point?
[laughing] Yes.
I guess it is.
But I do wonder who's going to eat this whole thing,
you know, with everyone being away.
The birthday cake fairy has promised me
she'll help me finish it.
[chuckles] Really?
Did she now?
You cheeky monkey.
[laughing] Yeah.
Okay, bedrooms next!
I'd say good luck, but I hid these myself.
She'll never find them.
I used a cryptographic algorithm
to determine the most unfindable hiding spots.
Found it!
Found it.
[sighs] I need to work on that algorithm.

Yeah, but it's the same guy who fixed the bathroom

And Daniel isn't working today.
And Jake cancelled his Comic Con trip.
Oh, guys! This is amazeballs.
I made them.They're perfect.
Spitting images. Like twins.

Wanna dance, little sis?
Oh, sure.

Poor Daniel's been thinking too hard.

His brain couldn't take the strain.

It's probably another birthday call.
Hello?
Hello... Anybody there?
Hm.
Who was it?
Wrong number?

Very funny, Sal. Not.
Hello.
[whispered voice] Is this Anika?
Sorry?
Is this Anika?
Yes, who's this?
Did you get my present?
President?
No, I've never met the president.
Present, your birthday present.
Oh, I don't know, I got a lot of presents.
It's the one with no name.
Oh, did you forget to put it on the tag?
Don't worry, just tell me what it is, and who you are.

Uh, who was on the line?
Like you don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
[spooky whispered voice] "Find the present. Do it now."
Seriously?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Right! [scoffs]
[Anika] Look what Tess got me!
I really miss Tess.
But I really like getting gifts from Africa.

And this is from us.
Thank you!
Oh!Do you like it?
No.
I love it! A camera!
This is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You know you can film things on a phone, right?
Yeah, if you're an amateur.
But if you wanna be an Oscar winning director,
you need the real deal.
What should I call my first movie? [camera beeps]
Don't you need an idea first?
Said the guy who wants to film a movie on a phone.
[Anika] So, come on, ideas?
Can I go and play?
"Can I go and play?" I like it.
I'm thinking thriller, children in jeopardy.
[Anika] Sal? You got one more present.
That's, like, the worst title for a film ever.
Ow! Paper cut.
"Paper cut."
Yes. I love it!!
No, Nika, you really...
do have one more present.
It's got no name tag,
so I have no idea who it's from.
Wait, there really is a gift with no name?
Well, that's what I just said.
I know who it's from.
Who?
The person on the phone with the sore throat.
Who?
I don't know!
I thought it was you and Jake, messing with me.
What can it be?
Perfume? Jewelry? Personalized unicorn?
It's a thing.
Oh.
I know, I know...
It's a....
A woodeny pyramidy thing?
I wonder what it's for.
Well, it's for me. It's my birthday.
No. What does it do?
I don't know.
Maybe these are the instructions.
[Anika] I wish I knew who sent it.
Uh, nope. Must be one of the Relatives.
Oh, yeah, a Relative with a sore throat.
[cell phone vibrates]Yeah.
Oh, it's Daniel.
Hi, Danny!
Yes, I am having the best birthday, thank you.

No, no reason. Okay, love you.
Oh, wait, say bye to everybody. [Kate] Bye, Daniel!
Love you! [Erik] Bye, Daniel, bye bye!

The person on the phone with the... sore throat.
What did they say exactly?
Not a lot.
Um, sounded kinda like....
[spooky voice] "The gift with no name."
Kind of spooky.
Well, it wasn't when I thought it was Jake
but now, yeah. A lot.

[Sal] "Egyptian..."
No, that's not it.
"Meso-American..."
That's more like it.
Hey, this pyramid you were sent

Oh, cool.
What's Meso-American?
It's a pyramid from Mexico or Central America.
Oh, right. I knew that.
[Sal] "The Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico
"is one of the largest in Meso-America."
Huh.
Ew! What is that smell?
Oh, sunflower and sandalwood scented candle.
Do you like it?Smells like cat pee.
Well, it's for my spa afternoon.
Spa afternoon?
My birthday spa afternoon.
I told you about it.You did?
I'm turning the game room into a retreat
for the body and mind. You should come and exfoliate.
Uh, thanks but,
I exfoliated yesterday?
I think.
Is this what it was wrapped in?
Uh-huh.
What is it?
I'm not sure.
[Sal] This middle bit could be a map of some sort but...
these symbols around the edge look like it might be some...
ancient Meso-American writing system.
What do they mean?
[Kate] Anika, what's in this bowl, can I throw it away?
Noo! It's my home-made face mask for the spa afternoon.
Hm.

[Sal] Magpie?
Yeah, yeah. Be with you in a minute.
[Sal] Oh, i-- it's just me.
Why, Sal! It's been ages.
What can I do for you?
I wanted to ask you--
ask you about this.
Anika was sent it for her birthday...
and that was wrapped around one of her presents.
A small pyramid.
[Magpie] Fascinating,
but this really isn't my area of expertise.
Don't think it's an ancient map
if that's what you were thinking.
Oh, well, you know... [scoffs]
It-- it looks old.
Here.
I wanted to know about these symbols here
on the bottom of the pyramid.
They look different than the ones on the map
but I think they're both Meso-American.
Mayan, maybe.
As I said, it's not my thing.
But I do know someone
who's an expert on this kind of stuff.
[Kate] So, Nika, what is in this home-made face mask?
[Anika] Uh, avocados, cucumbers, uh, bananas...
[Evie] Sounds like a smoothie.
Yeah, and there's also yoghurt and mint.
[laughing] It's totally a smoothie.
[timer dings]
And because it looked like the color of poop
when I first mixed it all together...
I added a drop of green food dye...
Ew!Green dye?
But... we're not food, right?
I don't think the dye knows that.

You look ridiculous!

Oh, don't film me, don't film me!
And, by the way, stop laughing!
'Cause the two of you are gonna look exactly the same.
Well, we don't care, 'cause this is so funny!
I look like a frog.
Ribbit, ribbit.[laughing]
All right, bathroom. Now.
Okay...

[Magpie] Come.
This way.
Come and meet Sal.
Hi, there.
This is--Rex Legend!
You're Rex Le-- Wait.
[Sal] You never said...
I didn't realize that you'd be...
I don't believe this.
Deep breaths, Sal, deep breaths,
Rex, I think he's a fan.
Yeah, I--
I-- I loved--
loved your documentary
about the search for the Lost City of Atlantis.
Thank you.
And I think you mean the formerly lost city of Atlantis.
[chuckles]That's right.

I think I've gone from green lizard
to just looking extremely unwell.
Well, just a few more washes before dinner
and we'll be fine!I hope so!

My foot spa!

[laughing]
[Kate] How much of that stuff did you put in?
Well, I followed the directions.
[Anika] One "capful"?
I thought it said one "cupful."
[Anika] Oh...
I look like a bubble frog.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit...
[laughing and roaring]Ribbit, ribbit!
Ribbit, ribbit!Oh, no, my
[Rex] Nahuatl!
Bless you.
The language. Nahuatl!
Ancient Aztec.
That's what these symbols are.
Have you ever heard of the Treasure of Montezuma?
No.It's fascinating.
A fabled lost treasure buried somewhere in Mexico
and this map, well, half a map, mentions it.
So it really is a map. Wow!
Unfortunately, Magpie here is right,
the map is relatively modern,
less than 20 years old I'd say.
But then, couldn't it be a copy of an ancient map?
Possibly. Do you have the other half?
Like the saying goes,
"two halves are better than one."
No, sorry, that's all there was.
Magpie says it was sent to your sister as a birthday gift.
That's right.
May I ask by whom?
See, that's just it. We don't know.
Oh, that's very mysterious.
That's what we thought.
Well, whoever made it, certainly knows their stuff
on ancient Aztec Cartography and Pictography.
Can I take a picture?
Uh, I don't know about that.
I can show it to some of my colleagues,
see if they know anything.
There aren't many people who understand ancient Nahuatl.
Uh, ah-- yeah, sure. Why not?
So could this be a map to someplace in Mexico?[camera clicks]
Not sure.
But I thought you said that's where Montezuma's Treasure is.
Nobody knows for sure.
There were rumors, a few years ago,
that it was in Utah in the USA.
Oh, so it could be anywhere in the whole world?
If it exists at all,
then most likely it's in Mexico.
Oh, I've got to go.
Thank you, mister--
Rex, please.
Rex, thanks. Thank you.
Uh, and Magpie, thank you.
Sal, any time.
Thank you, bye.
Be careful of the curse!
Huh?
What curse?
The Curse of Montezuma's Treasure.
Research it.
You'll see. [chuckles]
[nervous chuckle] Okay.
Bye.
"Legend has it that the fabled treasure is cursed
"and that anyone who tries to remove it
"from it's hiding place will suffer terrible consequences..."
[Anika] Sal! Good, you're back.
Dinner's in five.
You are never gonna believe who I--
Did-- did you eat too much cake or something?
No, why?
You look a little...
...green.
Oh, well, at least it's exfoliated.
Exfoliated?
You should have come to my birthday spa.
It was a lot more exciting than I planned.
You want exciting?
Guess who was at Magpie's today?
Mr. Rex Legend.
Rex Legend?
From the TV show...
[both] "Legend Seekers."
Yeah.No way.
Yes way.
He said this map is an Aztec treasure map!
Or at least a copy of one.
An Aztec Treasure map?
For real?Totally.
Well, maybe.
I'm sorry. I'm getting carried away.
But, how could you not?
The map, the pyramid,
the mysterious caller...
[deep voice] "Did you get my present?"
We have to figure out who sent this, Anika.
And why.
[Anika] Why would someone only send half of the map?
Where's the other half?
I don't know.Oh, no.
Kate threw out the wrapping paper away.
Nika, it's okay, this is all there was.
But why would someone only send one half?
I wonder where this is exactly?
Montezuma's Treasure is supposed to be in Mexico somewhere.
In Mexico?
That's a bit of an adventure.
But, hey! I'm up for a challenge.
[Kate] Anika, Sal, dinner's ready!
You're still green... [laughing]Yeah.
Honey, tuh, duh, duh, duh...
[chuckles]Perky Plum with sparkly glitter.
Oh, um, very... perky.
Sugar and spice.
Is that a color or a flavor?
Do you wanna taste?
Uh, no, thank you.
Let's see yours.
No.
Go on, they look fine.
Creepy Freaky.
[laughing]
Evie-- Evie had a few problems with the glue,
but it's okay, honey,
we'll get them off.
Uh, more mashed potatoes anyone?
Me.Yup.
Here we go.
Yeah, that's good.
Max?
No? It's not like you, then?
Maybe he's full, he's looking a little... bloated.
[sighs]
I wish they were all here for real.
What if I have some news
that might turn that frown upside down?
What if I told you
that we were going on a little vacation?
[gasps] To Mexico?[Erik chuckles]
[Kate] No.
No, not to Mexico, honey.
To a lovely house in a beautiful forest
just over an hour's drive from here.
We thought while the dirty part of the restoration
was going on, it'd be nice to get away.
[gasps] Oh...
It has a swimming pool!
And a chef.
The owner lives near by and cooks for the guests.
[excited] It looks great.
We can bring our bikes and our tents, and, I don't know,
ride our bikes in our tents.
It's gonna be fun. [chuckles]
Do they have Wi-Fi?
Everywhere has Wi-Fi these days.
Then count me in!
So, when are we going?
Tomorrow morning!
Tomorrow morning?[Erik] Mm-hm.
What about Jake?
Mm, Jake is also coming.
[Erik] And Daniel, they drive up together tomorrow.
So I will get to celebrate my birthday with them.
As long we make my birthday a two-day celebration.
Which is totally normal in some cultures.
I think they'll be just fine with that.
Oh, just remember,
we travel light,
so only one small bag each.
There's no way I'm going to be able
to fit everything into that little--
How's that a small case?
Well, it's too small for all of my stuff.
Do you have something bigger I can borrow?
Yeah, there.Ah.
Have you figured out what the pyramid means yet?
Nope.
But I'm going to spend this entire vacation
trying to figure that out.[loud music playing]
