-[traffic rumbling] -[indistinct chatter]

-[suspenseful music playing] -[indistinct chatter]

Kyra!

Kyra!

-Why are you chasing me? -[suspenseful music playing]

I'm not a thief. I… I haven't done anything.

-You broke into the warehouse. -I didn't, I was… jumped there.

-Kyra! -[music intensifies]

[indistinct chatter]

[music concludes]

There's nothing in here about purple tentacles.

-What are we going to do? -[sighs]

Kyra disappeared from my house. What am I going to tell her father?

[sighs]

-[Kyra] Please. -[Mace] You're coming with us.

No, no this isn't right. I shouldn't even be here.

I should be at a sleepover.

[Mace] Not interested.

-[Kyra] No, no, you don't understand. -[magical light buzzes]

Hey.

[magical explosion]

[magic portal whirring]

-[magic portal chimes] -[pants]

What's going on? Why were you in Bangkok?

What were you doing there? I didn't ask you to come after me.

You think I planned a midnight trip to Thailand in my pajamas?

You know my Orb magic always reacts when you're in trouble.

[Lily clears throat] Kyra, I was so worried about you.

[sighs in relief]

You hobgoblin.

What have you been up to?

It's a long story, sis.

Well?

Darra?

[magic portal whirring]

[dramatic music playing]

[music concludes]

So, the purple tentacles kidnapped you to Thailand,

and Darra won't say why?

All I know is it's got something to do with some warehouse in Bangkok.

-Well? -Nothing.

You know what Darra is like, stubborn and bullheaded.

Like someone else we know.

[sighs] Hi, I'm Tayla, welcome to the Gangway Cafe.

-What can I get you? -What she's having. Thanks.

-Coming up. -I haven't seen you here before.

-Maybe you weren't looking hard enough. -Or you just started.

-My, aren't we clever? -Just saying.

All right. Well, since we're sharing,

does your human friend know about your little secret?

Excuse me?

Your…

Fairy, huh?

Well, Kyra has a few magical secrets of her own.

[wand chimes]

Enjoy, Imogen.

Fairies have good ears too.

-[blender whirring] -[menacing music playing]

[music fades]

[portal whooshing]

Where have you been this time? Oh, I forgot. You're not telling.

Ha-ha.

-That's new. -The professor painted it.

Said it reminds him of his home in Ireland.

-[Darra] Hmm. -Speaking of the professor, where is he?

-Good question. Professor? -[Ladder creaking]

[Professor Maxwell] Come on, Ladder!

[Ladder creaking]

[gentle music playing]

Welcome! To the Eastern magic section.

[inspiring music playing]

[Ruksy] I never knew this was here.

[Professor Maxwell] Well, it's an old annex that was closed up…

I redecorated last night.

Not a bad job. If I don't say so.

-Professor? -Where did he go?

-I'm right here. -[Imogen] How did you do that?

[Professor Maxwell] Chang's mirror.

Chang was a Chinese smuggler elf

who created this 400 years ago, to fool customs officers.

-Certainly fooled me. -[Professor Maxwell chuckles]

[Ruksy] How does it work?

Oh. You look into the mirror and an exact double appears.

It's temporary but it should give you

enough time to ward off those pesky customs agents.

Should you ever have that problem.

-Why is all this stuff here, Professor? -Oh, it's not just stuff, Darra.

These are valuable, magical treasures

stolen over centuries by unscrupulous conjurers.

I'm cataloging these

so they can be identified and returned to their rightful homes.

I would appreciate some assistance whenever you can spare a moment.

Of course, Professor, happy to help.

I'm sorry to interrupt, Professor,

but we're scheduled to have a Bureau meeting.

Right? We'll reconvene later.

Cup of tea, Ladder.

What Bureau?

[magical wand chimes]

-[clears throat] -[inspiring music playing]

We, the Bureau of Magical Things,

do swear to uphold the laws of the DMI and seek a united future

when magical and non-magical beings can live together in harmony.

[all applauding]

-When did this happen? -While you were away,

doing whatever it was that you won't talk about.

We are officially attached to the Department of Magical Intervention.

We get access to the current list

of magical outbreaks and choose which ones we handle.

Would you like to join the Bureau, Darra?

A kiddie club? No, thank you.

Oh.

Hey, you were really rude.

I know, it was dumb.

What's going on?

[soft music playing]

-I can't. -You got me involved in this.

I'm entitled to know.

Well, I hope your little secret is worth it.

[music fades]

[birds chirping]

-[Lily] And Ruksy? -[Ruksy] Present.

-[Lily] Imogen? -[Imogen] Present, obviously.

[Lily] Kyra?

-Present. -Thank you.

And Lily? Present. That's everyone.

I hereby call the weekly meeting of the Bureau of Magical Things to order.

-Hang on. We can't start without Peter. -Works for me.

[cell phone ringing, beeps]

Okay, coming. He's in the bookshop.

[magic portal chiming]

Hey, everyone, what'd I miss?

[portal whooshing]

[whimsical music playing]

[Lily clears throat]

Hmm.

Hmm, that's interesting. More graffiti has been coming to life.

Like that frog yesterday?

Correct. There's a map of the affected areas.

-[honks] -Ow!

All of those in favor of neutralizing the graffiti

and tracking down the perpetrator.

How about we break into two groups?

Each group can survey our location and wait for magical activity to occur.

A stakeout. Love it. I'm with Ruksy.

Fine. I'll go with Lily and Kyra.

You go, I'll catch up.

[Darra] I'm sorry for the way I behaved

and for putting you in danger.

There. That wasn't so hard, was it?

[exhales] I'll tell you what happened but it's kind of complicated.

I'm listening.

On our way back from Europe, Dad and I stopped over in Bangkok.

[khim music playing]

-[indistinct chatter] -[birds chirping]

I've been thinking about your future, Darra.

Sounds serious.

-And? -I want you to come and work for me.

Father and son, building a construction empire together.

How does that sound?

I already have a future with the DMI.

[music continues playing]

You need superior grades to be even considered for the DMI.

You're barely scraping through.

You know, I'm going to do better this year.

You've said that before.

-Dad, I don't want this. -You don't know what you want.

We'll work together.

You'll learn the ropes.

I've worked for years building my business, Darra.

You'll help me carry it on.

It's always about you, isn't it? What you want.

It's never about what I want.

-[Darra] It was the same old story. -[music concludes]

In Dad's eyes, I was never going to measure up.

[soft music playing]

I needed to get away so I jumped south and ended up on this beach.

That was where I met Aroon.

Hello there! Aroon's the name, purveyor of fine antiquities.

Can I interest you in a watch? Very old. Very nice.

-Not interested. -Ah, I understand.

[Darra] That was when he showed me his ears.

-Aroon was an elf? -Hmm.

Selling trinkets on a beach in Thailand.

I should've walked away right then.

[Aroon] A smart, young elf like you wants something special.

-[mysterious music playing] -What is that?

Have you heard

-of the Temple of the Purple Lotus? -[music concludes]

Sorry. I'm not looking to buy any temple tours.

Oh, you won't find this temple on any tourist map, my friend.

-It's been lost for centuries. -Thanks, but no thanks.

[Aroon] The temple is a place of immense magical power.

Whoever finds it will win the respect

and admiration of the entire magical world.

[mysterious music playing]

What does that do?

There are three keys to the temple.

When you get close to one, the sphere will glow.

Find the keys, locate the temple

and everyone in the magical world will know your name.

If this place is so amazing, then how come you haven't found it?

I came close once, but there are other people looking for it too.

People I would not care to meet again.

So now, it's time to hand the quest over to someone younger.

Someone who wants to show the world what they can do.

[music concludes]

Ten thousand baht.

Two thousand.

[scoffs] Ridiculous. There are many would pay ten times

what I'm asking.

Eight thousand.

Four thousand.

-[scoffs] -Take it or leave it.

See ya.

Okay.

-[grunts] You drive a hard bargain. -[uplifting music playing]

-[grunts] -[music concludes]

[mysterious music playing]

Aroon sounds like a con man.

-I thought that too. -[music concludes]

But the sphere works, I've seen it.

So, if the keys to the temple are scattered

how did you know where to start looking?

Luckily for you…

the first key is not too far from here.

-In Bangkok. -Bangkok is huge.

Do you have any more information?

Everything has its price, my friend.

Go to the Golden Palace Markets.

The sphere will guide you from there.

[wind rushes]

Well, I don't even know how…

[indistinct chatter]

[Darra] I found the Golden Palace Markets.

-[mysterious music playing] -[Darra] Just like Aroon said.

The sphere led me to that warehouse.

[wood snaps, thuds]

[Darra] And the key is there.

-I'm sure of it. -[music concludes]

I've never been on a stakeout before.

What do we do?

Wait for something to happen?

-Is that all? -No. Then we wait some more.

This is painted by local kids.

[suspicious music playing]

[suspicious music continues]

[Lily] So, where shall we keep watch from?

Anywhere you like.

Uh, Lily, you keep watch. I'll be right back.

-Where are you going? -Bathroom break.

-What should I do while you're gone? -[music concludes]

Try to look inconspicuous.

I can do that.

I think Aroon was telling the truth.

The Temple of the Purple Lotus is real.

Maybe, but is it worth the risk trying to find it?

-Those guards meant business. -[ominous music playing]

Well, the Temple of the Purple Lotus is a lost part of magical history

and those people are trying to keep it hidden.

-I need to find those keys. -You mean steal them?

Those people in Bangkok took that statue from its rightful place.

It doesn't belong to them. Like Maxwell said, they're plunderers.

So, you do listen to the professor?

Finding this temple would restore a lost chapter of magical history.

I'd be doing the magical world a huge favor.

And at the same time, gain a whole lot of respect.

And prove to my father that I'm not a loser.

And that's why I'm going back tonight to get the key.

And nobody else needs to know about it. Okay?

[music fades]

[whimsical music playing]

[music fades]

-How do we know if something will happen? -Uh, we don't.

But the maps showed a spike in magical activity here.

-Can I ask you something? -Sure.

Where do your wings go when you're not flying?

Uh, nowhere. They disappear when I want them.

How does that work?

I don't have to think about it.

It's like walking. You just learn how to do it.

It's funny. No one's ever asked me that before.

Um, what's she doing?

[Peter] Bingo, there's our perp.

-Ha! Caught you in the act. -I beg your pardon?

Your days of mural mayhem have come to an end, fairy.

Or are you an elf? I have magic glasses, you know.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Is that so? Let's see your ears.

How dare you!

This is a community art project and I'm here to add my art.

-And I think I will start right here. -[groans softly]

-Hey! -[chuckles softly]

[footsteps approaching]

I think going back to that warehouse tonight is a mistake.

-You can't talk me out of it, Kyra. -I'm not trying to.

We should go now, in broad daylight. We'll catch them off guard.

We?

You don't think I'm letting you do this on your own.

I had no idea you were so sneaky.

-Sneaky is my middle name. [chuckles] -[chuckles]

So, what are we waiting for?

[dramatic music playing]

-[music concludes] -Hey, don't move!

[thrilling music playing]

Get him!

Thank you, Chang.

-[music concludes] -[wind rushes]

[Kyra] How do we know there aren't any other guards?

[Darra] I've only ever seen one.

Whatever this place is,

I don't think they want too many people knowing about it.

-Whoever they are. -[suspenseful music playing]

See. The key is here.

If only we knew how to get it.

[metal ringing]

[crackling]

[thrilling music playing]

-[magic wand chiming] -[music concludes]

It's a trick. They're inside.

[crackling]

[breathes deeply] What's happening?

[ominous music playing]

[magical key resonating]

They're after the key.

-[music concludes] -[Darra] What was that about?

It's like the statue wanted me to have it.

Good thing you came along.

-[chuckles softly] -[Mace] Quickly.

[thrilling music playing]

[panting]

-[magic portal chiming] -[music fades]

-Did we just do that? [chuckles] -I think we did. [chuckles]

So, what now?

Now, I find the other keys and locate the temple.

-You might not get so lucky next time. -Trust me. I'll be careful.

[both chuckle softly]

I'm going to make sure of that. Partners?

[soft music playing]

-Partners. [chuckles] -[chuckles]

-Well, I don't know, Ruksy. -But you just don't do that.

-Peter. [chuckles] -About time.

-Kyra, present. -[music fades]

That's everyone. So, Bureau, how did we do today?

Peter got painted on by an old lady.

-[chuckles] -I let her off with a warning.

Nothing in on our end.

Except Imogen took a very long time going to the bathroom.

Hey.

I have to write something. The DMI expects a report.

What about you two? Anything happen?

-Nope. Not a thing. -Bit of a dull day, actually.

Hmm.

[magic portal chiming]

This better be important. I'm supposed to be in Shanghai.

-Where you able to trace their jump? -No, sir. They were too quick.

They were just a couple of teenagers. I have no idea how they found us.

[suspenseful music playing]

Sir?

The key is gone.

That's not possible.

No one has ever been able to work out how to get it.

-Someone has now. -[intense music playing]
