Come on, Nika.
Ollie and Jasmyn have hung up.
I can't.
If I move, then time starts again.
So does reality.
And in that reality,
Rex has everything he needs to find the treasure.
He's won.
[Kate] Sal! Anika!
Come on, we're hungry.
I vote we eat, sleep on it,
and then come up with a plan first thing in the morning.
♪♪
[screams]
Morning.
[screams]
["O Fortuna" plays on phone]
Okay.
T-minus 30 hours until the eclipse.
T-minus?
Just means 30 hours until the eclipse.
Well, why not just say that?
Well, it also means we need to get a move-on.
[phone beeps off]
So... what do you think?
This is what the inside of my head feels like.
Yeah, mine too.
I couldn't sleep last night
'cause my brain was like...
Bam! "Rex totally played us.
How could we not have seen it?"
Yeah, yeah. Exactly that.
I mean, looking back at it,
it kind of all makes sense.
Bam![clock ticking]
Rex stole the birthday pyramid
and the treasure map.
He never actually got the treasure map, but...
Bam! Rex trashed Ollie's greenhouse
trying to find the Eagles.
And bam! Rex made up a bogus riddle
to try and delay us.
Yeah, okay, I get it.
I've got all sorts of bam-bam-bam
going on in my head right now as well.
But instead of looking at all the stuff
we already missed,
we have to try to find something
we can use to bring him down.
♪♪
Nika, what are you doing?!
Clue confetti.
I thought it might help to shake things up a little.
Ugh...
[sighs]
Wait.
[paper rustling]
When Rex saved us that time,
how could he have possibly known
we'd be there?
We never told Magpie the rendezvous location, did we?
No, because...
we only found out when Mr. Scare-Bear told us.
Which means it was Rex who masterminded the museum robbery
and then used it to manipulate us.
See, that's what it's like.
You think you've had your final "How could I not have known" moment,
and then bam!
You had another one.
Nika, this could be our leverage.
We just have to prove Rex's involvement.
But how?
Yes!Yes!
[Sal] Well, it's registered to a rental company.
But they're not gonna give out personal details on the phone.
Huh?
That was quick work. How did you get that?
You're forgetting that we have a brother
in the police force.
You asked Daniel to check the details for us?
Mm-hmm.Genius.
I know.
"I Columbus Ltd."[sighs]
Well, if it's a limited company,
that means it will be listed on the Netherlands Company Register.
[keys clacking]
And the Hunters strike gold.
I Columbus Ltd. is registered to none other than...
Huh. Reginald Legend?
His real name is Reginald?
[both laughing]
Oh, Rex must be his "I'm so cool" stage name.
[laughs][sighs]
But this is it, Nika.
This is the evidence we need to bring him down.
What exactly are we doing here?
Figuring out what the tree markers
are pointing at.
Or making abstract art.
Give me the phone.
[phone chiming]
Hey. Hey.
Hey, we were just about to call you.
We think we know how to bring Rex down.
You do? Amazing!
I got something that might help.
Check your phone.
[phone chiming]
What is that?
String art!
Or a rainbow sneezing?
No, it's the tree carvings
and the location of the objects,
all marked on a proper scale map.
We're trying to work out where the treasure is
before Rex gets wind of the markers.
Great idea.
But, if Rex is the bad guy,
does that mean that Markus is in the clear now?
No way! He's Rex's sidekick.
Someone was driving that truck
the day he conveniently "saved" Sal and me.
Back to the markers.
We could really use some help
working this out.
Okay, so which pins are the trees?
[Jasmyn] The three red ones.
Oh, okay, so all you have to do
is trisect the triangle and find the centroid.
Uh... mm-hmm. Right, yeah.
I-I'm a bit rusty on my formulas.
Remind me.
Look, it's easy.
All you have to do is draw the three medians
from the three vertices
and then mark where they all converge.
Yeah, mm-hmm. Got it.
Good luck nailing Rex.
And, uh, we'll keep you posted about the tripod
and the insecticide.
Trisect for the centroid.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
That's what I said.
Our connection must be shaky.
[mimics static]
Can you... [mimics static] hear me?
[dial tone]
So what do we do now?
Well, now that we have some evidence on Rex,
we should probably tell Kate.
And I have to change first.
♪♪
[Anika] Kate?
I think she's upstairs.
[Rex] Hi, kids!
[suspenseful music plays]
♪♪
Kids. Hey!
I was just looking for you.
Yes, we saw. Through the back window.
Like a thief.
I came over to apologize
for rushing off yesterday.
An emergency at the studio.
Oh, that's okay.
We can just pick up where we left off.
Uh, Nika, where's my bag?
Oh, I'll go get it.
And then, uh, maybe you could take us
to see your professor friend.
[Anika gasps]
The bag is gone![deep gasp]
No way!
Wait a minute.
Didn't you pick it up on your way out yesterday?
Reginald?!
Okay. Fine.
No more games. Where is it?
Where's what?
The map makes no sense.
I know you know.
You know we know what?
And now you know I know you know.
You know we know you know we know...
you know...
you know what?!
What we know is that you stole that bag
'cause it had the Montezuma objects
and that map in it,
And you stole the museum artifacts!
If you don't give us back
everything you stole from us,
well, then...
we'll tell all your fans your real name is Reginald.
Ha-ha.
So what?
My fans already know that.
It's on the first page of my autobiography.
Oh, sorry. Spoilers.
So come on.
Tell me where the location of the treasure is
or those artifacts of yours will meet with a very sticky end.
[Kate] Rex!
Hi.
Were you guys calling me?
Um...
Yes.
To say, uh...
That I was here
with some news about the appeal.
[gasps]
[Jasmyn] Oliver, come on.
I really need some help here.
Huh?
You said you understood.
No. No, I didn't.
Yes, you did. You nodded...
when we were on the call to Sal earlier.
Oh. Um...
I nodded because...
Actually I wasn't listening.
I was thinking about something else.
Thinking about what?
Dottie. Dominique.
The birth certificates.
Markus, is he or isn't he my dad?
You know? That sort of stuff.
Yeah. That gets you more than a free pass.
I'd kinda hate to be inside your head right now.
[sighs]Okay.
I can do this.
Trisect the tripod...[phone vibrating]
...and medium vertigo, uh...
Hey, where you going?
Snacks.
This is the sort of thing you can't do
on an empty stomach.
[Rex] I'm afraid it's bad news.
We had an anonymous call from the thief.
He said he intends to destroy the artifacts
in the next 24 hours.
[Kate]What?
I know, it's awful.
You'd never get them back.
And then you'd all be homeless.
It doesn't bear thinking about.
Unless...
Unless?Unless?
Well, he said he's prepared to do a deal.
A deal? What kinda deal?
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Well, he seems to think you have information
that you could trade with him.
Something he might want.
Information? This makes no sense.
Sal, Anika, you've been digging around?
You've done what?!
Guys, that could be dangerous!
Sorry. We were just trying to help.
[Rex] They're treasures, Kate.
They really are.
I'm sure they meant well,
even though their actions were misguided.
So, Sal, Anika...
what do you reckon?
Any ideas?
We'll think about it.
Don't leave it too long.
Clock's ticking.
And if I were you,
I'd stop taking matters into my own hands.
I couldn't agree more.
Sounds like this guy's got eyes everywhere.
We can't tell her what we know.
Agreed. Like you said, Rex would just go ahead
and destroy the museum pieces.
Then we'll definitely lose our home.
On the plus side,
that information he's looking for,
he thinks we know where the treasure is.
And that means...
He doesn't!Shh!
We're back in the game.
[grunts]
We have to help Oliver and Jasmyn
find that location.
Can you text Jasmyn? Give her an update.
[metal creaking, whirring]
All right, let's go.
[Dottie moaning]
[Jasmyn] Dottie, have you seen Oliver?
I haven't seen him.
He must be around here somewhere.
Oh. Okay.
[exhales]
[phone chiming]
"Markus...
"meet me at the camper at 12:00 p.m. tomorrow.
Dottie."
[Dottie] What's that, dear?
Dottie, did you use this phone yesterday?
No. Why would I?
My mistake. I have to go.
Dottie?
Well, hello...
Markus.
Houston, we have a problem.
Good thing we're here then!
Let's go!Wait, guys, what's going on?
It's Oliver. He's meeting Markus!
Oh!
The old fake text trick.
You got me.
I genuinely thought it was from Dottie.
You've grown into a courageous young man.
Your mom would be proud.
If you try anything, I've got this.
And I know how to use it.
So... why?
Why did you do it?
You need to speak to Dottie about that.
Just answer the question, please.
No, not please. Just answer the question.
Now!
It was Dottie's idea.
At least the first bit.
But you're right.
All the recent stuff, that was me.
So I'll ask you again. Why?
The Hunters are gonna lose their home because of you.
What? I have no idea--
No more lies!
The game's up, Markus.
Just tell me the truth.
[Sal] Why's he meeting Markus?
[Jasmyn] He wants answers.
I get that, but he should not have gone in there alone!
I know.
[Jasmyn] Come on, Sal.
I left the maps and the pyramids for...
[Anika] Oliver!
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm all right, really.
You want answers. I get that.
And you'll get them. Just...
[Markus sighs]
Would you two mind if I speak to Oliver
and Anika privately, please?
It's okay, guys. Really.
I wanna hear what he has to say.
So you guys continue with the Pin Art map thingy.
[screams]["O Fortuna" plays on phone]
Uh...
Okay, 27 hours and counting.
Well, even more reason to get on with it.
We'll call you if anything goes wrong. Promise.
Okay, uh, we'll be back at the house.
I left the maps and the pyramids
for you both on your birthdays.
I made the phone calls.
I met Diane quite early in my search for Anika.
And I used that connection to make sure
the Hunters came to the Forest House.
You did all that just to steal our museum pieces?
What? No!
The Montezuma treasure then?
Look, I'm not a thief.
Then why do all of that stuff?
Because without a motive, that's just borderline crazy.
I needed to bring you and Anika back together.
Why would you need to do that?
Because I'm one of the reasons
you were separated in the first place.
I'm really not sure we should have left them.
I know. I feel bad about it, too.
But... Nika's right.
We've got Rex breathing down our necks
like a shark with bad dental hygiene.
Let's make this count.
Hey, what are you doing?
[Sal] We don't need any of this.
But...All I need is a ruler.
So you've been helping us this whole time?
As much as I've been able to, yeah.
But why do it in such a weird way?
Why do the whole "go find what's rightfully yours"
when you could've just called us and said,
"Hi, Anika, it's Markus here.
There's a Montezuma treasure buried in the Forest House."
I don't know where the treasure is.
But I did start doing a bit of research recently.
Suspected a connection to the eclipse.
So that's why you were at the planetarium.
But all I really know is the map and the pyramids
were to be given to you on your 14th birthdays.
Yeah, but why?
I'm not the bad guy here, Anika.
I'm just...
I'm just trying to look out for everyone.
How?
As well as the birthday gifts,
I saved the missing stone from being destroyed
by the research facility and kept it for you both.
I followed you from a distance
to make sure you're making progress
and that you didn't get into any real trouble.
Like a guardian angel.
Like a guardian weirdo!
How do we know he's not working with anybody?
What if he's working for Rex
and this is all just to get the treasure?
I'm not working with anyone.
Well, how do we know?
Because...
I'm doing all this for your mom.
Mom?
So Dottie is working with you?
Not Dottie, Oliver.
Your biological mother...
Dominique.
S-s-so...
are you our... dad?
No.
I never met your biological father.
But I was around when you were born.
Dominique was my sister-in-law.
So you were Mom's-- Dottie's husband.
Well...
technically I still am.
But when you two were separated,
that didn't just break the two of you apart.
It broke our marriage, too.
I guess...
all this was my way
of trying to make it up to you both.
But... why were we separated in the first place?
You need to ask Dottie about that.
It's just not my story to tell.
For what it's worth,
I really am sorry.
[Anika] Okay, guys, breaking news.
Actually, Ollie, you do the honors.
It's your discovery.
Okay, drumroll.
[both slapping thighs]
Markus is... the good guy!
What?!Really?
Totally!Totally!
You know that guy in the woods?
It was Markus the whole time!
[overlapping excited chatter]
And he's still married to Dottie!
I know!
There's just so much we need to tell you!
Great, okay, awesome, great. Totally, wowzers! But...
We've also got some amazing news.
Oh, yeah?
[both] We know where to find the treasure!
So we do a triangle linking the trees.
Then we trisected--
That means cut it into three sections.
Fine. We drew a median--
the center line,
from the vertices--
the pointy bits,
to the center of the opposite edges.
Then we mark the centroid-- the center.
And there it is.
Not-quite-X marks the spot.
See? Easy peasy.
So what now?
We go look for it.
But shouldn't we wait till the eclipse?
If we do that, then we risk Rex getting the treasure.
If we know where the treasure is,
we've got leverage.
But the curse.
Tell you what, you guys go find it.
And we'll stay here.
Just don't open anything without us, okay?
Sounds good.'Kay.
[birds chirping]
[gasps] Jasmyn! Look!
That's the spot.
[screams]["O Fortuna" plays on phone]
Um...
[clock ticking]
T-minus 24 hours until the eclipse exactly.
You need to start digging.
Uh, don't you mean "we"?
I need to call the others.
[phone beeps off]But...
[sighs]
Hey, did you find anything yet?
Yes, and Jasmyn is currently digging for gold.
Way to go, Jasmyn!
Be careful!Be careful!
[sighs]
Did you manage to talk to Dottie
about the adoption papers yet?
Uh, no, she's not back from the store yet.
[thud]
Guys!
When you're finished having your cozy little chat,
I think I've found something.
[gasps] She thinks she found something.
[running footsteps]
[both grunting]
[Jasmyn] Are you seeing this, guys?
Yeah, what is it?
[both grunting]
[Jasmyn] Wow!
We found it.
We found... the treasure.
