-[birds chirping] -[instrumental music playing]
-[Kyra] How could Apinya do this? -[Lily] Why would she do this?
Are you sure it's not just a big misunderstanding?
Sorry. Apinya jumped to a warehouse in Bangkok
and told some elf the story Lily and I cooked up about Kyra's vision.
This warehouse, what did it look like?
It was full of crates of magical objects.
It was like some kind of black market operation
in magical artifacts.
You know where she means.
-It's where we found the first key. -Then Apinya is a crook.
I'm so sorry I didn't believe you, Imogen.
Don't stress. Apinya was quite the actor.
Yeah. She had us all fooled.
So, she's looking for the Temple of the Purple Lotus, too.
The question is, what do we do?
As soon as Apinya realizes she's on a wild goose chase, we're in trouble.
Until then, we need to act like it's business as usual.
We should tell the professor.
-[dramatic music playing] -[traffic rumbling]
[Mr. Mendoza] Fanjing Temple was a waste of time.
The key wasn't there.
Are you sure you haven't given yourself away?
My students have no reason to suspect me.
-Yet here we are, empty handed. -Go back to the temple, look again.
-But-- -Let me know what you find.
[suspenseful music playing]
[birds chirping]
[Professor Maxwell] I can't believe this. It doesn't make sense.
Apinya was always scrupulously honest.
You knew her a long time ago, Professor.
People change!
But to become a criminal? It isn't possible!
Apinya released the swarm to force me to have another vision.
-She wouldn't do that. -It's true, Professor!
She's been lying all along.
We need to tell the DMI.
If the DMI get involved, it's inevitable that that attention
would turn to Kyra.
-But I haven't done anything wrong. -I know.
But the fact that they know that you're a natural born Tri-ling
will bring you under suspicion.
We can't let Apinya get away with it.
I'm not saying that.
We need to find that third key, and the Temple of the Purple Lotus.
And then we need to take everything to the DMI.
-Agreed? -[Darra] Agreed.
[dramatic music playing]
-[portal whooshing] -[all] Good morning, Apinya!
Good morning, girls.
Am I missing something?
-Nope! Just happy to be here. -Absolutely.
-Wouldn't want to be anywhere else. -Where are Kyra and Darra?
-They're probably still on cloud nine. -Why's that?
It's so romantic. They're an item now.
Off brunching or something. They're so into each other. [chuckles]
Young love. [chuckles] You know how it is.
You want to be with each other all the time.
[sighs] It must be a wonderful feeling.
I guess it's just the four of us then.
What are we studying today, Apinya?
Today, we're looking at perspectives in magic.
Ooh, goodie! [chuckles] I've wanted to do that for ages!
Sounds simply captivating! [laughs]
Please open your books to page 42.
[papers rusting]
You sure you want to do this?
My last vision showed me something new.
The keys want me to find them, so it must be a clue
to the location of the third key.
Just be careful. Okay?
[dramatic music playing]
[mystical thunder]
[swooshing]
[Professor Maxwell] What's happening, Kyra?
[Kyra] I can see the cobra and the keys.
Two of the keys are going to the cobra.
What about the third?
It's just hanging there.
Look around. What else do you see?
[ominous music playing]
-[snake hissing] -[static chimes]
There's writing… [sighs]
It says, "Visit."
Does that mean something to you?
Do you remember the wall outside the Bangkok warehouse?
It had a picture of a Thai palace and said, "Visit Thailand."
If the key was there, then why didn't Apinya find it?
Maybe she didn't know it was there.
Use your Orb magic and look for it.
[dramatic music playing]
[swooshes]
[Kyra] I'm inside.
-Here we go. -[static buzzing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Kyra] This place is huge.
-Could take a while. -[static screech]
[guard] Check it out over there…
[pants] Got it.
[suspenseful music playing]
All clear.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Kyra] Nothing so far.
[Professor Maxwell] You must be getting closer.
[metal chimes]
[Kyra exhales] There's something here.
[Darra] Can you see the key?
[Kyra] I think it's inside a crate.
-[Darra] What can you see? -[Kyra] A painting.
"Purple Lotus By Moonlight."
[laughs]
What's so funny?
The painting was done by Magnus Sorenson.
I'm going to look behind it.
[ominous music playing]
[Kyra] I can't see it. It must be there somewhere.
Bring the painting here so we can examine it.
[guard] Check it out over there…
-Those guards are coming back. -[Darra] Get the painting.
No time. [pants]
[chimes]
Sorry.
I can't believe the key was there the whole time.
Now, all we need to do is take it…
from right under Apinya's nose.
[Apinya] If I magically transform a lion into a cow,
does the lion still think like a lion or does it think like a cow?
-How would we even know? -Why would it even matter?
It might matter a lot if you went to milk the cow
and it tried to bite your head off.
[swooshing]
Sorry we're late.
Can't keep you two apart, can we?
I was just telling Apinya you were together.
So good you're here!
Apinya's been giving such an interesting class
on perspectives in magic.
It's absolutely fascinating!
-Lily! -Sorry.
Darra, I'm sure Lily would love to bring you up to speed.
Kyra, a word?
Lily told me about your vision of the temple in China.
-She did? -It's called Fanjing Temple.
I went there, but I couldn't see anything that relates to the Purple Lotus.
Really? That's strange. [chuckles]
Are you certain it was this temple you saw?
I think so. Maybe. My visions can be a bit fractured.
Tell me. Maybe I can help you make sense.
Well, if Lily told you about it, then there's really nothing I can add.
Maybe there's a detail you missed.
-I'm pretty sure there isn't. -Try.
I'd rather not just now, if you don't mind.
Think about it.
Maybe there's something that you missed.
Look, I know you're all eager to pursue this,
but I'm afraid that will be all for today.
I have some business to attend to and I won't be back.
So we'll pick this up tomorrow.
[portal swooshing]
Apinya's being played for a fool.
There's nothing at that temple.
-What now? -[dramatic music playing]
Apinya's wasting time.
We know where two keys are.
If we had them…
our problem goes away.
[dramatic music playing]
You're sure the third key is in the Bangkok warehouse?
We know Magnus was looking for the keys.
He must've found one and hid it with the painting.
Somehow it ended up there.
So, why's Apinya still looking for the third key?
We think she doesn't know it's there.
Sorry it took me a while to get here. Urgent cake delivery.
So, what's the big emergency?
Well?
Like I said before, there's nothing at that temple.
I'm going to see for myself.
Where's Kazuhiro?
[suspenseful music playing]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music continues]
[clatters]
And who might you be?
[shatters]
[Peter] So, Magnus hid a key to the Purple Lotus
with a painting of a Purple Lotus?
Cheeky. [chuckles]
Problem is, I couldn't find the key.
There was nothing behind the painting or in the frame.
Doesn't make any sense.
[Lily] Why are you surprised?
Nothing about this Purple Lotus business makes sense.
What if the key is in the painting?
You mean, inside it?
Merge magic.
-Imogen, you know how to do that. -I'm not exactly an expert.
-You got yourself inside a tree. -And got stuck.
That was pretty funny. [chuckles]
If Kyra brings the painting here, you can try and get it out.
Not here. Apinya might turn up.
That's true. She's always popping in at odd places.
There is one place Apinya never goes.
[upbeat music playing]
You want me to let you use the cafe to search a painting for a key?
It won't take long, but we need an answer now.
Would I be correct in thinking that this venture
might not be sanctioned by the DMI?
Does it matter?
[chuckles] Not really, just adds to the fun.
Look, I'll close the cafe.
-We won't be disturbed. -Thanks.
I guess there's only one thing left to discuss.
-My fee. -What?
[chuckles] I'm just messing with you.
-Place is yours. -And after we get the key?
We do as Maxwell said.
Find the temple, and then hand everything over to the DMI
so they can nail Apinya.
We should tell Maxwell what we're planning.
[clock ticking]
[Ruksy] Hello? Professor Maxwell?
Professor? You here?
[Lily] Hello?
[suspenseful music playing]
-The keys are gone. -Look!
-Something's not right. -[Peter] That's for sure.
Maxwell would never leave a pastry uneaten.
-[clock ticking] -[suspenseful music continues]
[swooshes]
You were right. The temple was clean.
I'm going to question Lily again. Perhaps she made a mistake.
Don't bother.
-What's going on? -Your plan was taking too long.
At least this way, we have two of the keys.
I'm sorry, Maxwell.
I never intended for you to get caught up in this.
Nevertheless, here I am.
My kids were right about you.
Though I must say, I never picked you for a tomb raider.
It's a little more complicated than that.
[music concludes]
[Peter] We can't find Maxwell anywhere.
Whoever took the keys must have taken him too.
-Apinya must know we're onto her. -Where would she have taken him?
-My money's on that warehouse in Bangkok. -We need to rescue Maxwell.
What we need to do is find the third key.
So, we split up.
Imogen and I will get the painting, Darra and Ruksy will rescue Maxwell.
-I'm part of the Bureau, too? -You won't be any use.
Come on. You'll need a lookout. Someone to cause an ingenious distraction.
I hate to say it, but he's got a point.
-Thanks, Imogen. -What about me?
You're our safety net.
If we're not back in one hour, you need to tell your dad everything.
[clock ticking]
[dramatic music playing]
Once you've sprung Maxwell, bring him to the cafe.
Good luck.
[swooshes]
-[box rattling] -[dramatic music concludes]
-Need a hand? -We're good.
Let's get this done.
[swooshing]
-Any idea where Maxwell is? -When I was here before,
I saw some kind of command area.
[metal clangs]
[guard] Who's there?
[suspenseful music playing]
Hi there. Can you help me?
I'm a little lost.
Which way to the Golden Palace?
Nice brush work.
Now is not the time for art appreciation.
Okay, Imogen. Do your thing.
[mystical music playing]
[swooshing]
[Peter] Well, if you don't know how I got in here,
and I don't know how I got in here, then am I really even here?
[whimsical music playing]
Watch him.
So, has your day been…
busy?
[clock ticking]
[shuts lid]
I must say, I'm impressed, Apinya.
Taking on a full teaching job while at the same time
running a black market operation on magical objects. Do you ever sleep?
[Apinya] Don't be like that, Maxwell.
[Professor Maxwell] Why not? You've been lying
from the moment you arrived here, while you put Kyra in serious danger.
I really thought I knew you.
How could I have been so wrong?
There's been a security breach. A human boy.
How did a human get in here?
So, there's red curry, and then there's green curry.
But is there really any difference?
-Apinya! Fancy running into you. -You know this boy?
He's one of my students.
[static sound]
Anything?
I can't find it.
-My vision led me to this painting. -Well, maybe your vision's wrong.
Can I try?
[Imogen] Be my guest.
[suspenseful music playing]
What do you people do here?
Why do you have all these magical objects?
If you're not going to answer, I'm leaving.
[wand chimes]
-[music intensifies] -[flame ignites]
Any chance of a cup of tea, then?
[swooshing]
Professor! Come on!
[swooshes]
Guys, what are the odds? First I bump into Apinya, now you.
More of your students?
You have no idea what you've gotten yourselves into.
[clock ticking]
[clock chimes]
[swooshes]
-I've got something. -Dad, Apinya's been lying.
She kidnapped Maxwell
and we think she wants to find the Temple of the Purple--
[suspenseful music playing]
[chiming]
-What are they? -It's okay, I'll take care of it.
[mystical whirring]
[Kyra] It's safe now. Try again.
[Apinya] My colleagues and I are a secret unit of the DMI.
Our job is to protect the magical world from the most serious threats.
-Such as the Purple Lotus? -Precisely.
Taking over Maxwell's teaching job was the cover for this mission.
To ensure I got the job,
I was not employed through the usual procedures,
as you suspected.
Why wasn't I told?
My unit has been very careful to contain all knowledge of the Lotus.
I needed to maintain the highest secrecy.
And yet my students uncovered your highly secret operation.
Can you tell us what the Purple Lotus is?
Where's Kyra?
[chiming]
-Good work. -Do I get a medal?
I'll buy you a juice. [chuckles]
-[dramatic music playing] -[loud humming]
Kyra, no! Don't touch it!
[swooshes]
[dramatic music continues]
[sighs]
[vibrations rumbling]
[swooshes]
[chiming]
[dramatic music continues]
-[loud chiming] -[gasps, pants]
[breathes heavily]
[groaning]
[breathing heavily]
[high-pitched buzzing]
Why did the Lotus take Kyra?
Once all three keys are found, they're programmed
to act on their own and activate the Lotus.
-The Lotus needs Orb magic to function. -Kyra has it. You should have told her.
What's done is done. We need to deal with what's happening now.
-Where did the Lotus take her? -We don't know.
[swooshes]
There's a magical disturbance in Cambodia.
[vibrations rumbling]
[grunts, groans]
[swooshes]
Kyra!
-[breathes heavily] -Kyra, talk to me.
-Kyra. -My Orb magic.
[pants] It's gone.
[liquid bubbling]
-What's happening? -We're too late.
It has begun.
