Guys?

This way.

We'll need this.

Nice work.

Yeah, no problem.

Yeah, nice work.

What is that light?

Okay, this has to be it.

There's no codex, no writing.

It's a native-american water sign.

Uh. It's broken.

On purpose.

Yeah, broken water.

But you can't break water.

No, but you can stop it.

We need to find the source.

Nice.

Perhaps you're smarter than you look.

Careful.

Might be booby-trapped.

Okay...

Okay, get ready to run.

One...

Two...

Three!

That's it?

No spike thing or crashing wall?

Okay, let's get moving.

I wanted to escape from

something you know of.

Big rock!

Anything.

Nothin?

Bummer.

We see them.

They're coming out now.

Yes, they have the shard vase.

Excellent.

Remember, they are

not to be harmed.

The hunters need to feel hunted.

But I can get rid of them.

Stick to the plan.

It's vz, not vase.

Really?

If you hurt them...

Hurt them?

You kidding?

They're brilliant.

With almost no training, they've tracked

down two of the shards already.

I would hire them to find the last shard

and the mirror for me but there's no need.

They're gonna do it for free.

I know my boys.

They will not help you.

Really?

An hour a few now, they'll be

on the phone begging for help.

Feels good?

As good as it could be.

I thought the plan was

only to scare them.

Yes, well. Accidents happen.

Gun it.

Guys. Heads up.

Still wanna escape from something?

I take it back.

We gotta go. Now, go. Hurry up.

Down here!

Hurry!

Fast, run faster!

We lost them

Let's see them follow us now.

You are welcome

They followed us.

Okay, okay, go, go, go go go Go!

Come on Dylan. Move it!

That was your brilliant plan?

What? You got a better one?

Left!

Down here.

I got a plan but you're not gonna like it.

Does it matter?

Good point.

Whoa!

He's not gonna like that.

Move on!

You okay?

Yeah.

So that was your brilliant plan?

Yeah!

Really?

Get them!

Right!

Come on. Come on!

Is this one of those accidents

you were talking about? Hmm?

Gotta keep moving.

Dylan.

What?

Good plan.

Thanks.

Still gonna have to push me.

You okay Tripp?

Besides may probably going

prematurely graft to this.

Yeah, I think I'm fine.

The Krugen found us here they'll

probably find us again.

We need away to move, a way to travel.

Tripp.

Now I think It's time to call Mason.

Perfect timing.

Hello?

Mason! It's Paxton.

Paxton! What a delightful surprise.

How are you? How are your folks?

Uh. Tripp and I need your help.

Well, of course anything.

Just tell me where you are.

39, 62, 107, 40.

Thank you for coming.

Flynn brothers are in trouble, I'm here.

No questions asked.

Mason Fuller, this is Dylan.

Pleasure.

How do you do?

Mason is one of our

family's oldest friends.

You're still filthy,

stinking rich?

More than ever!

Awesome.

Mason, mom and dad are missing.

Tell me everything.

I find this hard to believe.

Yeah, so did we.

Trust me.

My parents never told you

anything about the hunters?

Never. I thought I knew

everything about them.

Any idea where your parents are?

They were in Thailand.

We're gonna find them.

Yeah, but first we have to find

the other shard and the mirror.

And the what? Hide them? Destroy them?

Well, here's my plan so far.

One, we find the shard.

Two, we find the mirror.

And three?

I said so far.

Okay, everything we thought

was a fairy tale, it's real.

The mirror, the hunters, the Krugen.

The other shards that you have...

May I see them?

I don't know. We've

said too much already.

Of course, I understand that.

I just wish I knew more so

that I could help you better.

Dylan, it's okay.

You can show him the shards.

Alright.

Not that much to look at, right?

That's them.

Can you feel the power?

The other shard, the one

that the Krugen don't have.

Where do you suppose that is?

We don't know. Or the mirror itself.

The first shard.

It led to the second one, we're thinking

maybe they all lead to each other.

Are those letters?

Where?

There, there, those. They

are not just designs.

They are greek letters

written backwards.

Yes, Dylan they are.

Let's get to my office.

I think I can help.

Jordyn.

I tell you those kids are amazing!

You should be very proud.

In fact, listen in for yourself. They're

just on the other side of that door.

So close and yet, impossible to help.

That must be torture for a mother.

Tripp can you read that?

It's true. I'm the

smartest one in the room.

I can't read ancient greek.

I can.

'Rhodopis'. Benefits of

a Classical Education.

What's Rhodopis?

Rhodopis wasn't a what.

She was a who.

Rhodopis was an ancient greek slave girl

who married the Egyptian Pharoah, Amos II

after he discovered one of

her glass slippers falling

in the celebration in the

Ancient City of Memphis.

Sounds like Cinderalla.

Bingo. It says here that

the story of Rhodopis is

actually the earliest version

of Cinderalla story.

But it is of a pre-school education.

So the shard is somewhere in Egypt.

Nope. Boston.

Boston?

Recently added to the museum's permanent

fairy tales and meaning collection

The Glass Slipper, allegedly

worn by Cinderella.

The shard is in the slipper.

Nice work, Tripp.

We take the jet to Logan International.

Mr. Fuller.

Mason.

Mason. All do respect,

you are not a hunter.

This is our sworn task not yours.

I've been a family friend to

these boys for many years.

With their parents missing, I

feel certain responsibility.

Besides, having some who's filthy,

stinking rich as a travelling companion

can't be the worst thing

in the world, can it?

Say yes or I'll cry.

It's black tie.

And we definitely are not.

How are we gonna get in dressed like this?

I have an idea.

Pax!

Hey, Pax.

Here you go.

Thank You.

What do you think?

You know what? I think

you can use these.

Okay. How?

Wow, you look great.

Uh. I mean, If that's

what you're going for.

I could get used to this.

What do we do with our clothes?

I'll have my driver take

them back to the jet.

What about the shards?

Maybe we should keep those with us.

Oh. Trust me.

My private jet is more

secure than Fort Knox.

They'll be just fine there.

Looking good.

Invitations, please.

We're with him.

Mr. Fuller of Fuller Industries.

I'm sorry you don't

appear to be on our list.

Curator.

Excuse me?

Get me the curator? Please.

I am terribly sorry Mr. Fuller.

Please accept my apology.

It's quite alright.

We are so grateful for

your contribution and

we are surprised to see

you here this evening.

Life is more fun on the last

minute, don't you think?

Indeed.

Please, enjoy.

Now this is what I call a party. Ladies?

Up there.

Glass slipper.

That doesn't belong to you.

Paxton, keep an eye

on the crowd.

Dylan wait here.

I'm gonna bypass on the alarm.

And if it's a vending

video game education.

How's it coming Tripp?

Not yet.

Such power.

I can feel it from here.

Reperio qua adservum nunquam utor deid

Who are you?

Excuse me?

Tripp stop.
