Let us out!
Hey, come back! That's my bag!
♪♪
Come back! Let us out, you... Come back!
Wait! Anika, stop!What?
Think about it. Do we really want the scary man
who just locked us in here to come back?
Okay, I'll think about it.
We do if he's got my bag!
Come back and let us out, you sneaky bag bandit!
Let us out!
[sighs] I think he's gone.
Did you have anything valuable in it?
Just lip gloss, a hairbrush,
the lettuce for Tammy and...
...your half of the map?
What?!
We lost my half of the map?
Oh...
Jasmyn's gonna be so in my face about this.
Yeah, better tell Sal.
No, no, don't!
We're in a race, remember?
And if Jasmyn finds out that the map is gone,
she's never gonna let me live it down.
Well, it could have been a lot worse.
I mean, we still have my camera.
Yeah, and a packed lunch my mom made us.
Come back, you forgot something!
Come back and steal our lunch!
I really did have a close escape.
But the thief--
Do you think it was the same person who stole your pyramid?
Well, it's got to be, hasn't it?
Unless there are a lot of random
bag stealing thieves in this forest.
Well, not as far as I know.
So, what's your plan?
Stay in here forever so Jasmyn can't make fun of you?
Yeah, that kind of works for me.
But I've got a better idea.
We go for this trap door.
Trap door?
Why didn't you mention it before?
Uh, I actually totally forgot it was there.
What if the Riddlestone's down there?
I mean, we've looked everywhere else, right?
Wow... good thinking.
Only one way to find out.
[grunting]
Uh, it's stuck.
Let me have a go.
[sighing][twig snaps]
The thief, he's back.
Quick, let's get a move on! Open this!
[grunting] It's no good.
See, this is your fault for calling him back
for the packed lunch!
Well, then we'll give it him.
[latch turning]
[birds chirping]
[gasping]
[clearing throat]
Can I help you?
Sorry, Dottie,
I was looking for something.
Did you know you've got
lots of weird stuff in your house?
The thing is, Evie, what's weird to some people
is normal to others.
Like this doll made out of twigs?
That is to bring me good luck.
Ooh! And does it work?
Not at the moment.
Huh...
What are you looking for?
Tracing paper. Mine's run out.
I might have some greaseproof paper over here.
What are you tracing?
Everything! So when I get home
I'll have copies of all the lovely
weird stuff in your house. Mm-hmm...
Lovely normal stuff.
Thank you.
[birds chirping]
♪♪
[Jasmyn] Ah! Guys!
Oh, we...
thought you were someone else.
And I forgot you had a key.
Did you find the Riddlestone?
You lost the map?!
We didn't lose it, all right? It was stolen!
And it's better than mistaking
a bit of dirt for an Aztec symbol.
That was not my fault.
And a dirty map is better than no map!
So where's your Riddlestone then, because it looks to me
that you aren't doing so good either.
Hey, guys, calm down.
I took a photo of your half of the map on my phone.
We can just use that, here.
See?
Uh... I don't wanna upset you, Sal, but that looks like
a video of Evie's toys going on an adventure.
What?
Wait...
Evie deleted my photos.
No map, no Riddlestone.
And we just got covered in Dottie's cooking.
Any more bad news?
No, no more bad news. Possibly even good news.
If... our theory works out.
♪♪
So here it is. Take a look.
That's been there for ages.
But have you ever opened it?
Why would I open it?
You wouldn't except if a weird Aztec map
led you to the exact location.
We didn't come here for a lie down.
The Riddlestone is here.
Wait...
[Oliver] Another riddle!
We won!
"Beneath the wood is the place where I lie.
"In a rootless cut tree reaching up in the sky.
"My circle is empty, no rope in my ring.
"But I'm no shackled beast.
I'm a bird on the wing."
So... no map.
Unspecified deadline.
And a riddle that is even harder than the one before?
It's okay. We can do this.
Well, I'm out of here. You guys go back to the house
and work on the riddle. I'm gonna look around.
See if I can track this bag thief.
But-- but what if you find him?
Then I'll follow him
and steal it back when he's not looking.
Okay, well, don't do anything too dangerous, Jasmyn.
Hey, it's me.
Like, I'd do anything dangerous.
Jasmyn!
Take this.
Call Sal if you get into trouble, okay?
Um... I don't really know how...
Wait, you've never used a phone before?
It's okay. I'll show you.
It's easy.
Okay, so this is how you turn it on.
That's gorgeous, Evie.
Hey, Mom!
Hey, my lovelies.
Did you have a nice time out and about?
Uh, depends on what you'd call nice but--
Uh, yeah, uh, we did, and we weren't trapped
or robbed or anything.
Did you enjoy your packed lunches?
Oh, yes, they were very useful.
I mean, delicious.
Is that jelly in your hair?
Jelly? Uh, no, no, that...
That is, uh, slime.
Slime?
Yes, yes, uh...
You know, uh, hair slime.
[Anika] All the city kids wear it nowadays.
It's a thing.
Okay.
Bye! Bye!
And you kids call me weird.
[car door opens/closes]
[car door closes]
[Anika] Let's move on to "My circle is empty."
Couldn't an empty circle be a fairy circle or something?
What's a fairy circle?
Oh, it's a circle with mushrooms in it in a woods.
And sometimes they're called fairy rings.
They didn't say something about rings?
Yes! "No rope in my ring."
My mom says they lead to the land of the fairies.
Yeah, so our clues lie in the land of the fairies!
I think you two are in the land of the fairies.
Land of the fairies doesn't exist.
Oh, spoil sport.
What about a well? I mean, that's a ring,
and there's usually rope in the bucket.
Yes, that's gotta be it.
And even better, wells do exist.
[Sal] What's the point?
Even if we do manage to solve this riddle,
we still won't get any further with only half a map.
So what are you saying? There's no point in going on?
Well, unless we can find out who stole the map
and get it back somehow.
So, we're all depending on Jasmyn.
I hope she's okay.
[phone buzzing]
Guess we're about to find out.
[muffledspeaking] Jasmyn?
I can't hear you. Are you speaking into the right end?
How's this? Better.
Did you say you found a thief?
Yes, he's in a pickup truck.
Okay, can you get a photo of him or a photo of the license plate?
I haven't got a camera.
There, there's a camera on the phone, Jasmyn.
I got it.
[busy signal]
[car starts]
[shutter clicks]
What is... that?
Jasmyn's lost the truck.
At least, I think so. She's actually written:
"I'b lost the bruck."
[chuckles]
But the good news is, she found your "nat."
My bag! Ah, yes!
Oh, but the map wasn't in it.
Ah, boo.
You know, maybe it's for the best.
We don't have the map. We can't find the treasure.
Well, how is that a good thing?
Well, if we don't find the treasure, we won't get cursed.
There's gotta be a plus in that, right?
Why would we be cursed?
Uh... you see, Olly, there's this stupid legend.
A ridiculous legend...Yeah.
And this really stupid legend states that
the cursed treasure of Montezuma is... cursed.
It's the cursed treasure of Montezuma now?
When were you thinking of mentioning this to me?
It's just a name.
No, Jeff is a name! Cursed is a description.
A very, very bad description!
See, I knew this would happen one day.
My mom always warned me about curses.
Olly, calm down!
It's an ancient curse. Probably worn off by now.
There's an expiration date on curses, right?
Neither of you know what you're talking about!
You're playing with forces you don't understand!
Olly?!
[knocking on door]
We're sorry we didn't tell you about the curse.
You had not right to make that decision for me.
I don't know how it is in the city.
But out here, when someone's at risk of being cursed,
we think it's polite to let them know about it.
Well, maybe it's a good curse
like we talked about?
No, it isn't.
You've brought the curse down on us, we're doomed!
Oliver, please, come on, just open the door.
I'll prove to you that we're not cursed.
Please?
All right, go on then.
Prove it.
Right, I will.
Hey! Spirit of the Aztecs!
You stink! Your curses stink!
If you're so great at cursing, why don't you
strike me down with some misfortune right now?
Let's see what you got?
See? I told you guys, nothing's-- Ow!
The curse! The curse of Montezuma!
[Sal] I'm okay!
[Anika] Oliver!
Don't come any closer. I'll smash it.
Oliver, please? Don't. Oliver...
Put down the stone
and step away from the pyramid.
Keep back.
Oliver, please, don't.
If I smash this now, everything stops.
The thefts, the break-ins.
Getting locked up in the hideout.
The adventure? Our friendship?
This mystery brought us together for a reason.
Don't you wanna know what it is?
What do you mean?
We both got sent those maps and pyramids.
But why? Out of all the people in the world, why us?
Maybe they thought that you'd stand a better chance
at finding the treasure than they did.
So? You haven't solved any mysteries.
No, but I live here, don't I?
This is where the clues are.
Maybe, whoever sent us this stuff,
wants us to do their dirty work.
So we get cursed for finding the treasure and they don't.
So what are you saying? We're curse bait or something?
Maybe, just think about it.
Get us to find the treasure and then steal it as soon as we do.
I don't know.
I mean, the person sending us this stuff can't possibly
be the same person stealing it. Why would they?
So it's gotta be two people!
Right? At least one who sent you guys the maps and the pyramids.
And one who wants them for themselves.
So someone who's helping us and someone who's trying
to beat us to the treasure.
That's gotta be it.
Maybe, but...
What if you got it the wrong way around?
What if the thief is helping us?
And they're taking the stuff to stop us from being cursed.
Know what? Maybe you're right.
But don't you wanna find out?
Don't you wanna get to the bottom of all this?
Guys...
I'll be honest with you.
Before you came,
I felt trapped.
I wanted to get out of this forest.
I wanted to see a bit of the world.
But now... The world has come to me.
I don't like being stolen from, being locked up.
Having people break into my house?
I just want things back the way they were.
Oliver!
No!
[groans]No!
Hi, guys.
See?
This is exactly why I fell out with him over the treehouse.
I'm sorry, guys, sometimes I just get...
Jasmyn will tell you.
Yeah, you can be really...
...really...
...helpful.
Kind and funny.
You're always doing stuff for me.
Cowardly.
You missed out cowardly.
You're not a coward, Oliver.
What would you call running off, trying to smash
the pyramid just because I'm scared?
I call it the power of magic.
You don't believe in magic, Sal.
No... But I believe it has power.
Power over people who believe in it.
Stupid people, you mean.
No, never underestimate the power of stories
and the power of the mind.
So...
You're saying magic is real if you believe in it.
I'm saying that if someone truly believes that they're cursed,
then bad things are likely to happen to them.
You spend your whole life being told you're surrounded
by curses and bad luck.
Those things are real to you.
Yeah, and the fact that you didn't smash the pyramid,
even though you thought it would actually affect you...
Well, I reckon that's pretty brave.
Nice try, guys.
But the only reason I didn't smash the pyramid
was because Jasmyn wrestled me to the ground.
Doesn't seem so brave now, does it?
Well...
Here's your chance.
What?
You wanna smash it? Do it.
We won't stop you.
But why?
Because, if we're gonna go on with this,
to wherever it leads us, it has to be our choice.
The choice of all four of us.
If you want us to stop...
...we'll stop.
So, what's the next move?
Well, there's still the riddle to solve.
Plus, I've asked my dad about this house.
He said the guy who built it died years ago.
Does he think he could've been the one
who carved the Aztec symbols into the attic?
No chance. The guy had barely heard
of South Amsterdam, let alone South America.
Tell you one thing.
It wouldn't have been my mom.
Really, really superstitious about them.
Scared even.
Which means... that there was someone living here
between the guy who built it and Dottie.
And whoever they are, they could be the key
to this whole thing. [Sal]Exactly.
Even without half a map, there's still loads we can do.
There's a mystery here. And you know what
Hunters do with mysteries? We solve them.
And we're not gonna rest until we find out exactly
what's going on here.
[horn honks]
Who's that?[honking continues]
It's Erik.
What's going on? Erik, what happened?
Ah... Kids, are you all here?
Well... Where's Evie?
She's feeding the chickens with Dottie.
Is everything okay?
Oliver, go get her, please.
Erik, what's wrong?
Is it Jake? Did something happen?
Oh, no, Jake is-- Jake's fine.
We're all fine. It's just that...
Pack your bags, kids.
We're going back to Hunter Street.
We've been robbed.
The museum has been robbed.
Wait, what?!
