Dylan!

Didn't you say you dated

a girl named Dylan?

Dated!?

You said that we dated?

I said we went out few times.

Few times too many.

I'd take it, it didn't work out.

NO.

What are you even doing here?

It's complicated.

As am I.

Tripp!

Sorry.

I'm here because your parents are overdue.

For what? Fencing their stolen artifacts?

Wait. Mom and Dad are not thieves alright.

Technically, that's not true.

That are thieves?

Technically, that's not true either.

Let's get inside.

I'll explain it all in there.

Come on!

Tripp!

Stop cleaning.

Sorry.

It makes me feel better.

An ancient society called The Hunters.

That's right.

Warrior scientist who

find fairy tale objects?

I told you it's complicated.

It's not complicated.

It's insane.

It's kinda cool.

It's simple.

Hunters find, acquire and they

conceal and protect legendary items.

These items end up in the wrong hands.

It can endanger the entire world.

Aladdin's lamp.

The Golden Fleece of the Argonauts.

All stories.

All very real.

All very powerful and all

kept safe from evil by your parents.

Because that's what hunters do.

I believe you.

This is ridiculous.

You know all this just from working

from my mom and dad?

I know all this because I'm a hunter.

Just like my mother and father were.

Wait.

Does it mean we're hunters too.

Is there a secret handshake?

Please say yes.

Am I the only sane one in the room?

Before they left, your parents said that they

should miss a contact time to give you this.

Thanks anyway.

Already have one.

It doesn't work. It never has.

So does the story of me and my parents.

Neither do this one.

They gave us identical broken watches.

What time does your say?

1:
13. Yours?

8:
47.

How come I didn't get a watch?

A text! I got a text.

That weird one you sent me.

What's up with your phone?

It's been cranked up to awesome.

Come to me. X-O-X-O.

You sent your brother a message

saying 'Come to me. Hugs and Kisses'?

Cute.

I didn't send it.

It's from mom and dad.

It must've been a time-delayed message.

Set to go off if they went missing.

A time-delayed message?

Yes.

Okay, fine. Then what-d's it mean?

I think I know.

Come to me, xoxo.

Mom and Dad were always showing me how this

pattern on this rag looks like X's and O's.

Come to me secret room.

What is that?

Ah.

It pricked me.

What's the code?

One.

Thirteen.

Eight.

Forty-seven.

Welcome to The Hub.

My parents used to talk about a place called

The Hub where they did their research.

I just figured it out in the university.

This is awesome.

That's the symbol of the hunters.

You still don't believe do you?

Your parents aren't just hunters,

they're two of the best.

How many hunters are there?

Nobody knows really.

It's kinda what keeps us safe.

Most hunters know a few

others but not all others.

And I'm supposed to believe you because?

Voice recognition engaged.

Welcome, Paxton Flynn.

Pax? What did you do?

Welcome, Tripp Flynn.

Woah.

Your parents must've preprogrammed

the computers to recognize your voices.

From when you would both become hunters.

What makes you think I wanna be a hunter?

I don't.

The defining quality of a hunter is heart.

Quite frankly...

You don't have it.

I've got heart. Okay, I'm all heart.

You're all talk.

You know what I think?

I think you're still hung up on me.

If by hung up you mean

completely nauseated by, then yes!

I am very hung up on you.

Kids! Please.

We still don't know where our parents are.

Tripp is right.

See? Heart.

Maybe the computer knows where they are.

Computer...

Where are my parents?

Hunters:
Carter and Jordyn Flynn.

Listed as 'Missing in Action'

during their covert mission.

Last known location: Khang Sobra, Thailand.

What exactly were they recovering?

The four shards to the mirror.

So fake cops were talking about a mirror.

Computer, what's so

important about the mirror?

Drawing sheet of Mirror: Unknown.

You know what I think?

I think It's time to call Mason.

Who's Mason?

Oh look! Something she doesn't know.

Mason Fuller is our parents' oldest friend.

He might know where

they are or what we can do.

Sure.

Hey, Mason. Did my parents ever mention anything to you

about a super secret organization of warrior scientists?

No.

Okay, thanks anyway.

He's filthy stinking rich.

And people who are filthy stinking rich

have things like planes and connections.

He might know what to do.

Yeah. Maybe.

But I don't trust him.

It's not that you don't trust him,

you don't trust anyone.

I don't trust him because

he's friends with my parents.

Do you seriously still not

believe they're hunters? Come on.

I have someone who can prove it to you.

How long did you date?

We didn't date.

Mom and Dad thought we'd like

each other, so we went out a few times.

Mom and Dad set you guys up?

Ooh. 'Cuz I liked her.

Heh. Yeah.

This car was not made for three people.

Ah. Paxton's life is designed for one.

Another good one Tripp.

Comfy.

Would you rather walk?

We should have gone back inside the house.

Force them to tell us where the shards are.

Yes, because that worked

so well for you before.

Yeah, but now that I know...

Shhh.

Don't hurt yourself thinking.

Besides, I don't believe those kids

know where the remaining shards are.

But I do believe...

They are leading us to someone who does.

Just a little warning,

Dr. Kramer's a bit eccentric.

Dr. Kramer!?

Dr. Kramer?

Is he?

A decoy?

Yes, he is a decoy.

Hello, Dylan!

Hi, Doctor.

Now who are your young friends?

Oh, these are the Flynn's,

Paxton and Tripp.

Of course!

Carter and Jordyn's boys.

My how you've grown!

Have you, seen us before?

No. Never.

I was stating a biological fact.

I assume you're not born this size.

A bit eccentric?

We need your help.

Ah, yes. I know.

Carter and Jordyn went after

the shards and now they are missing.

Okay. Just 'cuz some crazy

professor, no offense.

Knows the same story doesn't make it true.

So you know about the mirror?

Uh, yes. Do you know the

mirror from Snow White?

Yeah. It's a, there's a certain

evil gentleman inside.

Uh, well! That is just

one of the legends, yes.

The mirror has been around for generations.

Usually held in secrets.

Ah-ooh! Yes, here we are.

Now, right.

About a thousand years ago, an evil army,

called the Krugen, found the mirror.

The Krugen?

Yes, it's a terrible name, I agree.

I would've come up with something far better

like The Vuldani or The League of Contagion.

Oh! That was spot on there dear. I would...

Dr. Kramer.

Right.

Well, the leader of the

Krugen used the mirror.

And the result was the little something

we'd come to know as The Dark Ages.

So, what's the mirror used for?

It grants whoever looks into it

their absolute deepest desire.

And the only thing that someone

who wants the mirror ever desires?

Is power.

Okay, are you guys hearing

how crazy this sounds?

Pax we live in a house, there's secret lab full

of fabled artifacts and the talking computer.
