*THE BUREAU OF MAGICAL THINGS*
Episode Title: "The Test"

Hey, you're Orla.

I always watch
your news reports.

Glad to hear it.

If you'd like an autographed
photo, call the station.

Can I ask you about that story
you did on the suit of armor?

The publicity stunt
for the medieval festival?

Very clever promotion,
don't you think?

Not really, that suit
of armor knocked me down

and it never even touched me.

I don't think that's possible.

It's like it tasered me
or something.

Why don't you contact
with the City Council?

- They'll set you straight.
- I did.

They didn't know anything
about a suit of armor.

Care to comment?

Regular juice
and a blueberry muffin?

Can you pay? I was in a hurry,
and I forgot my wallet.

- What's the rush?
- Oh, you know,

people to see, things to do.

Wasn't that...

I was telling her
what happened with the armor.

Who told you the armor
was a stunt?

I can't reveal my sources.

Come on, we're not talking
international politics.

- What are you covering up?
- It was nice to meet you.

You do fake news, Orla,
and I'm gonna prove it.

I suppose that's one way
to make an impression.

- Morning, professor.
- Hello, Kyra.

Ready for today?
I think so.

It won't be easy.

You started out well
behind the others.

I know, but... I was up
all night doing study notes

and revising.

It's much harder
than normal school.

I can remember mass formulas
and French verbs,

but not the difference between
a hex and a bewitchment.

Or was that an enchantment?

Relax.

Sounds like you've done
more than enough

than the rest of the class
put together, except Ruksy.

They've grown up
with this stuff, I haven't.

Like you said,
I'm playing catch-up.

Magic isn't just about
what's up here.

But what you feel in here.

Now what's that telling you
about how you're doing?

- My... powers are under control.
- Mm-hmm.

I can pretty much do
all the magic you've taught me.

No argument there.

I just wanna make sure that
you understand what's at stake.

- You mean if I fail.
- You're a tri-ling, Kyra.

You'll face extra scrutiny
because of that.

Difference is not always welcome
in our world.

Don't worry, professor.
I've got this.

Today there are two
separate tests.

Test one is about identification
and deduction.

- It's a piano.
- Very good, Imogen.

But the test is also
about deduction.

Your task is to unlock
the piano's secret.

There must be magic in it
somewhere. Look inside.

Be careful.

Ooh, scary, a missing key.

Oh, that's a shame,
it was such a pretty tune.

No, Lily, we need to find
the missing key.

Look for books on piano keys.

- Oh no.
- What?

This is
the ill-tempered piano.

So it has an attitude problem.

What's it gonna do?
Insult us?

"This instrument was created
to demand attention.

"When its playing
is interrupted,

it plays louder and louder
until..."

- Until what?
- That's all it says.

That can't be good.

Where do we find
the piano key?

Problem solved.

I don't like this piano.

I think it feels
the same way about you.

Oh, hi, Pete,
Kyra's not home yet.

That's cool,
I came to talk to you.

Can it wait?
I'm heading off to work.

- The suit of armor last week.
- What about it?

The media's saying
it's a publicity stunt.

But it's a cover-up.

And it's not the first.
Did you read the email I sent?

- I was kind of busy.
- You should read it,

because the more I look
into this,

the more weird stuff I find.

Look.

A lake that turned purple.

A plague of yellow
plastic ducks,

and a whole lot more
kooky stories.

You're letting
your imagination run wild, Pete.

But you're a cop.

Your job is
to investigate this stuff.

And right now,
you're making me late for that job.

I thought this was
a group exercise!

- I've been thinking!
- Ha! There's a first.

The professor said
he wants us

to unlock the piano's
secrets, right?

- So?
- So I was wondering,

maybe we need to find a key.

We already know that!

I mean the other
sort of key.

For a lock.

So we search for a book
about locks and keys!

But what if the key's
already visible?

Good thinking, Darra.

You said the test
was about deduction.

Do you even know
what that means?

Save it, Imogen.

You're going to need
all your energy

for the second test.

- This task is about...
- Good morning, Maxwell.

Orla.

What are you doing here?

Come to observe today's test.
I hope that's not a problem.

No. No, of course not.

It's a pleasure
to have you here.

Meet my students.

Imogen, Darra...
I'm such a fan of your work.

Thank you.
I believe I've met your parents.

They're very generous
to the DMI.

And this is Ruksy,
Lily, and Kyra.

I'm sure you all know
of Orla Maguire?

The DMI's top operative.

I read how you handled
that gargoyle that came to life.

So cool.

Isn't it sweet?
Imogen has a role model.

Actually, Orla and I
were in the same class.

- Really?
- Orla was quite the prodigy.

Seem to remember
you were no slouch yourself.

I've been waiting
to meet you, Kyra.

Your appearance in our world
has caused some concern.

I... promise I'd never do
anything to reveal the secret.

I hope that's true.

Our second test.

The capture and containment
of a magical problem.

Will this be individual
assessment?

The DMI relies
on teamwork, Imogen.

But individual abilities
need to be appreciated too.

A team is only as good
as its members.

Isn't that right, professor?

Of course. This time,
there'll be no resorting

to the library for help.

- Ready to slam this?
- Bring it on.

- What do we have to do?
- Hang on.

Where are we?

Museum of Magic.

Ruksy works here
as a tour guide.

She's so good with little kids.

A vacuum cleaner?

Probably the most dangerous
thing in here,

it can suck up
almost anything.

Enough with the tour.

Ruksy, you know the museum,
what's different?

I can't see anything
out of place.

What's the glove about?

They belonged to the world's
most accomplished spy...

Natalia Petrovich.

She was highly trained
in martial arts.

- Did she lose a hand?
- No, why?

There's only
one glove in here.

- There should be two.
- That's the challenge.

Find the other glove.

That shouldn't be hard,
just look on the floor.

Uh... these gloves can move.

Move?

Like on their own?

And they can
turn invisible.

Anything else
you didn't tell us?

Uh, the glove won't stop
until all the targets

are... dispatched?

- Hey, Peter.
- Do you realize

how much weird stuff
happens everyday?

I know what you're gonna say:

"I read too many comics,
it's all in my head."

- Well...
- But it isn't.

Every one of these events
happened, but was dismissed

with some quirky explanation.

But something happened to me.

I'm a witness, and no one
listens to me.

- Well, I guess...
- What if I had more witnesses?

Surely, someone else would've
had a run-in with that armor.

I just have to find them.

Thanks, Mathilda,
you're a genius.

Hi, sorry to interrupt.

Walking like this.

Now, Orla, I'm sure
you're not here

just for my sparkling wits
and repartee.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd be wondering if the DMI
had a problem with my teaching.

Of course not,
you're doing an excellent job.

And the fact that you never
turned up before

and I have a Tri-ling in my
class is a complete coincidence?

Where she came from's created
much debate in the Department.

How is it possible
she even exists?

It's a mystery.

All I know is the day
she turned up,

she's done her best to be
an excellent student ever since.

In fact, I consider all
of my students talented

in their own way.

I look forward to seeing
the evidence of that.

You nailed it
with the piano test,

any thoughts on this one?

Yeah.

Don't move.

Where did it go?
Did anyone see?

How can we catch it
if it keeps disappearing?

I guess that's the test.

Spread out,
maybe we can corner it.

Aaahh, get it off me!

- I'm trying!
- Careful! You'll hit Darra.

And the Tri-ling...

have you noticed anything...
different about her?

How do you mean?

Has she exhibited any
special qualities?

All my students are excellent.

- I don't like this.
- You think we do?

I can't see it.

If we make it visible,
then we can catch it.

Any ideas?

Do I have to come up
with everything?

We have to flush it out
in the open and...

- cover it with fairy dust.
- Good plan.

So who does the flushing?

I'll do it.

Here, glove.

Where are you?

It's time to go home now.

Don't you miss your partner?

There!

So much for the fairy plan.

A good education can't only
be measured by success.

A student learns just as much,
if not more, by their mistakes.

Your students seem to be
learning a great deal, then.

Imogen.

You've all made it
by the skin of your teeth.

But a pass is a pass.
Well done.

I'm sure you've all benefited
from the experience.

That was a tough test,
professor.

You'll have to be prepared
for a lot more than that

to get into the DMI.

I think we've all
learned a lesson.

So, I thank you to Orla.

- I think Imogen was right.
- About what?

She suggested individual
abilities were important.

- I agree.
- So?

So I'd like to see what
your students are capable of

when they're in the field.

Let them face
a real world situation

with real consequences.

I think they've done enough
for today.

Yeah, I'm pooped.

Who knew the glove could be
so hard to catch.

I don't mean you, Lily,

I'm talking about the students
who are still in the game.

Imogen and Kyra.

- I'm up for it.
- Not Kyra,

it's too soon for her.

The test isn't over
until there's a clear winner.

I thought you had faith
in your students.

It's okay, professor,
I'll give it a shot.

Go hunting.

- Can you see anything?
- Weren't you listening, Kyra?

Orla wants to see what
we can do individually.

- Yeah, but we can still work...
- No. You're on your own.

Was I speeding, officer?
I'm late for a delivery.

I hear you've been harassing
local business owners.

I was asking some questions,
what's the harm in that?

The harm is I get people
calling me giving me an earful,

then I have to track you down
to read you the riot act.

- Do I need a lawyer?
- Seriously, Peter, drop it.

That armor was just
a publicity stunt, end of story.

You're wrong, neither of them
are ready for this.

We won't know that
until the test is over, will we?

Now, what test shall we... use?

Shadow cloud.
You can't be serious.

If we don't push them,

how will we know
what they're capable of?

I'm telling you, Dad,
they know nothing

about ordering two dozen
croissants.

Check with mom if she made
the order,

but it looks
like a prank to me.

Wish I knew who it was.
I'd make them eat the lot.

What do you want me to do
with all them now?

I want it on the record
that I do not approve of this.

They're not sufficiently
experienced enough

to handle shadow cloud.

They might learn
something in trying.

So might we.

See? That is how it's done.

Don't be so sure.

You've just made it bigger.

And way badder.

If we can't disperse it
using magic,

then we need to contain it.

How do we contain smoke?

Thanks.

What did I say?

Oh.

What happened?!
Are you okay?

I don't know,
something hit me.

- Did you see it?
- See what?

This weird-looking
cloud of smoke that...

- You okay?
- You must have!

It was... it was right there.

Uh...

That test was about
following your instincts.

Imogen's instinct was to
employ a potentially risky

strategy to keep magic hidden
whilst dangerously visible.

But her risk paid off.

That was a textbook example
of how to contain an outbreak.

Although next time, don't be
in such a rush that you forget

to go invisible.

Hers is the sort of thinking
we need at the DMI,

because our job is about making
difficult choices.

- It wasn't right.
- Something to say, Kyra?

What you did risked
my friend's life.

I don't care what you're
trying to teach us!

That was...

irresponsible.

Let's be clear, you chose
to help a boy rather

than deal with the threat.

A threat that could've put

the entire human world
in danger.

- I...
- At the start of today,

you said you would do anything
to protect our secret.

- Clearly...
- Orla.

I understand how you feel,
Maxwell, but because

of her human connection,
she will never truly be part

of the magical world.

Kyra will stay.

Are you sure you want
to do this?

I'm Kyra's teacher,
the decision is mine.

I suppose I should've
expected this from you.

Imogen, come see me sometime.

Alright, that's enough fun
for the day.

Class dismissed.

- Shouldn't you be getting home?
- Why did you stick up for me?

I support all me students.

No, what did Orla mean?

Ah.

I'm a half-ling.

My mother, an elf, married
my father, who was a human.

- How did that work out?
- Not well.

Neither was accepted
in the other's world,

but they loved each other
deeply and that was enough.

The magical world will never
truly accept you, Kyra.

So you must work twice as hard
to prove yourself.

Always remember
there are eyes on you.

You're a rarity.

And therefore,
potentially valuable.

- Be careful.
- I will, professor.

And... thanks.
