I've sent her off to explore. I know she was keen to see 34 00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:22,690 your classroom. 35 00:02:23,950 --> 00:02:27,690 This was the worst special project ever. 36 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:33,290 I went outside and I couldn't see a new girl, but I could see my friend Ava 37 00:02:33,290 --> 00:02:35,090 selling cupcakes in the Pebble Garden. 38 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:38,770 Ava is always raising money for things in the Pebble Garden. 39 00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:42,610 Hi, Ezra.

Except the classroom was empty. 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,500 So I went to our book corner and grabbed my favourite book, the one with the 92 00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,100 mystery riddles, and sat down. 93 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,480 The police get a call that a robber they're after is inside a house at 33 94 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,500 Buckton Drive. 95 00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:39,120 They don't know what he looks like, but they know his name is Craig. 96 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,040 The police burst in to find a truck driver, a carpenter, a mechanic and a 97 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,860 fireman sitting around the table playing cards. 98 00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,340 They immediately arrest the fireman. 99 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,900 Why? He's the only man. 100 00:05:52,869 --> 00:05:57,010 The carpenter, the truck driver and the mechanic can all be women, but the 101 00:05:57,010 --> 00:05:59,850 fireman has to be a man, so he's the one called Craig. 102 00:06:02,690 --> 00:06:05,270 The fireman was the only man. 103 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:10,030 I think I just met my special project. 104 00:06:11,390 --> 00:06:12,870 Woody? Yep. 105 00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:14,150 Hi, Ezra. 106 00:06:14,630 --> 00:06:17,670 How do you know my name? It's on your bag, Ezra Banks. 107 00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:19,450 This is a nice classroom. 108 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:21,870 Have you read this book? 109 00:06:22,610 --> 00:06:26,870 No. Then how do you know the answer? And why did you come in the classroom 110 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:31,190 window? I wanted to have a look around. I mean, why did you come in the window 111 00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:32,230 and not the door? 112 00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:34,610 Are you not allowed to do that? 113 00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:37,150 Um, I've never seen anyone do it. 114 00:06:37,790 --> 00:06:39,050 I'll use the door next time. 115 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:44,610 Okay. Well, um, Henry said... I mean, Mr McGillick said I should show you around 116 00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:45,610 in here. 117 00:06:45,690 --> 00:06:51,430 So, do you want... What? 118 00:06:52,489 --> 00:06:53,489 Just happened. 119 00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:57,050 I'm so excited to finally meet you. 120 00:06:57,810 --> 00:06:59,350 Oh, isn't Morty here? 121 00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:02,330 No, she went out the window. 122 00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:07,290 Why? I don't know. She came in the window, she went out the window. 123 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:11,590 If I was going to get to know my special project, I needed to find a room 124 00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:12,590 without windows. 125 00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:13,770 I'm going to look outside. 126 00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:16,110 And you wait here. Look after myself. 127 00:07:20,650 --> 00:07:25,650 Ava's Alton landed on my foot and I thought she must have sold about a 128 00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:27,850 cupcakes because it was so heavy. 129 00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:30,970 I couldn't stop thinking about Morty. 130 00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:34,570 How'd she get that riddle about the fireman so fast? 131 00:07:35,010 --> 00:07:40,790 I got the book back off the shelf and was re -reading the riddle when... I 132 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:42,310 have a ball magnet in me. 133 00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:44,790 Kyle! 134 00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:48,750 Sorry, Ezra. Ava said you met the new girl. 135 00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:50,030 What's the best sport? 136 00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:55,080 Because when I meet someone new, that's my burning question. 137 00:07:56,700 --> 00:08:01,480 Ava couldn't find Morty outside, but she did find Mr McGillick and they both 138 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,500 came into the classroom. 139 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,100 No, Ava, I am not filing a missing persons report. But Mr McGillick, Morty 140 00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,740 missing! Perhaps if we dial down the drama... But Morty is not! 141 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,020 No one has seen us and she went out the window! 142 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,500 Why did she go out the window? 143 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080 Because I thought I should come around to use the door. 144 00:08:18,620 --> 00:08:19,900 Morty! You're here! 145 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,160 else would I be? 146 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,520 Morty looks like when a Labrador puppy licks you on the face, which feels half 147 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,980 sweet, half disgusting. 148 00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:31,540 I'm Ava. 149 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,880 That's Kyle. 150 00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:35,900 And I gave you a cupcake for free. 151 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,720 And so where's my outing? 152 00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:42,640 What? My outing with my cupcake money in it. 153 00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,320 I don't know. It was right there on the shelf. 154 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,700 Ava's owl tin was gone. 155 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,520 What does it look like? 156 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:58,360 It's got an adorable little owl riding a bike on its lid. And it has a lot of 157 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,160 money in it. My foot has the bruise to prove it. What are you talking about? 158 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,800 You threw the tin on my shoe and it felt like it was full of rock. 159 00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:08,520 Because there was $80 in it. $80? 160 00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:11,880 Almost. I had 40 cupcakes that I sold for $2. 161 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,700 Except one I kept for Morty and one I kept for me. 162 00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:16,400 Who would take your $42? 163 00:09:19,109 --> 00:09:25,210 Let's just say math isn't Kyle's strong point. 40 times 2 minus 4. 164 00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:29,010 Ezra, this is no time for a quiz. 165 00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:33,430 Ava's owl tin has been stolen. And you took it. 166 00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:39,230 You needed to pay me all the money you owed me, so you came here and took my 167 00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:42,750 tin. Ava, he's been standing with me the whole time. 168 00:09:43,130 --> 00:09:45,150 Kyle didn't take it. 169 00:09:46,570 --> 00:09:52,400 Oh. In that case... I'm so sorry, Kyle. That was very unfair of me. Then who 170 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,660 took your $76? 171 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,880 $76? No -one took it. I've been the only person here. 172 00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:07,180 Suddenly, everyone was looking at me. And the person looking at me the most 173 00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:08,180 Mr McGillick. 174 00:10:08,420 --> 00:10:12,180 Tell me this has nothing to do with the website software you wanted to buy for 175 00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:13,180 $75? 176 00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:19,510 I know it looked bad, but if you're innocent, there's no need to panic. 177 00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:22,670 I swear on my life, I didn't take the money! 178 00:10:23,150 --> 00:10:28,190 I believe Ezra, Mr McGillick. It just looks extremely suspicious because he 179 00:10:28,190 --> 00:10:32,650 alone with the tin and nobody else has been in here and he needed a lot of 180 00:10:32,650 --> 00:10:33,650 money. 181 00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:38,730 Ezra, can I see your bag, please? 182 00:10:39,970 --> 00:10:44,690 I know Mr McGillick thinks I'm a bit annoying because I have a very busy 183 00:10:45,550 --> 00:10:48,670 But now he thought something terrible about me. 184 00:10:49,090 --> 00:10:50,870 He thought I was a thief. 185 00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:56,390 I can't believe you could think that Ezra would steal something. He's the 186 00:10:56,390 --> 00:11:02,170 honest guy I know. He never lets me copy in class or cheat on the test. And he 187 00:11:02,170 --> 00:11:04,670 would never take something that wasn't his. 188 00:11:06,410 --> 00:11:10,870 And this is his own outing full of money that he brought from home. 189 00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:12,310 Right, Ezra? 190 00:11:13,870 --> 00:11:15,410 I felt sick in the stomach. 191 00:11:15,730 --> 00:11:17,150 Nobody said anything. 192 00:11:18,190 --> 00:11:19,530 Except for Morty. 193 00:11:19,770 --> 00:11:23,770 Why would Ezra leave his bag open if he wanted to steal Ava's money? 194 00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:27,690 I don't know. But Ava, you and Kyle take Morty and find Miss Tan... Do you mind 195 00:11:27,690 --> 00:11:30,230 if I ask a couple more questions first? Thank you. 196 00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:34,130 Ava, can you tell me everything you remember about your cupcake store? 197 00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:39,310 It was weird because Mr McGillish actually let Ava stay and tell Morty 198 00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:40,310 everything. 199 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,600 How she had set up her stall in the Pebble Garden and how she had sold a lot 200 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,400 cupcakes. Then we both told Morty what happened next with the soccer ball and 201 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,400 Billy and the boots. 202 00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:53,520 And then Ava said what happened when I went to the classroom. 203 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,880 Let's see. 204 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,220 Ezra left and Kyle and I were squabbling, but I'd sold all my cakes 205 00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:01,640 Oh, that's when Miss Tam called out. 206 00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:15,330 Miss Chan's our teacher, Morty. Have you met her yet? She's really nice. 207 00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:16,690 And really clumsy. 208 00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:21,390 She dropped her folders and called us to help before all her papers blew away. 209 00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:25,010 So we all went over and helped. Wait, who went over to help? 210 00:12:25,290 --> 00:12:31,010 Me, Ava, Mario, James, Justin, Archie, Toby and Billy. No, Billy stayed. 211 00:12:31,370 --> 00:12:34,790 He's not in our class, so I guess he didn't think Miss Chan was talking to 212 00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:40,690 OK, then what happened? Then I packed up my stuff and came in here to see you. 213 00:12:41,850 --> 00:12:48,310 You went here, but I left and threw your tin at Ezra's foot and it felt like it 214 00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:49,310 was full of rocks. 215 00:12:51,130 --> 00:12:52,510 Is she the police? 216 00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:59,190 Maudie did sound like the police. She asked me exactly where did I put the 217 00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:04,190 outing. So I showed her how I balanced the tin up carefully, like a wheel, 218 00:13:04,370 --> 00:13:06,350 and... Kyle! 219 00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:11,040 What? You threw your basketball in here and it hit me over there and did a big 220 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:17,260 bounce into this shelf. So, if your owl tin was up like a wheel and your bag was 221 00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:22,320 open next to the shelf, the basketball would have hit the shelf and made the 222 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,280 roll into my bag. 223 00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:31,480 That's how it got into my bag. See, Mr McGillick, I didn't take Ava's money. 224 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,980 very sorry, I thought you did. 225 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,540 To be fair, what else was he supposed to think? 226 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,180 I was so pleased that because of Morty, now we knew the truth. 227 00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:44,180 Almost knew the truth. 228 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,379 Oh, yay! 229 00:13:45,380 --> 00:13:46,660 No one stole my money! 230 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,020 Well, actually, I'm pretty sure someone stole your money. What are you talking 231 00:13:51,020 --> 00:13:57,380 about, Morty? My money is right... No wonder it felt like it was full of 232 00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:58,580 It was. 233 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,440 Pebbles, actually. 234 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,700 Who put pebbles in here? 235 00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:06,500 Someone who needed a lot of money in a hurry to buy something. 236 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,360 Oh, Ezra, I stuck up for you. 237 00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:10,620 Not Ezra. 238 00:14:10,660 --> 00:14:14,380 Someone who needed a lot of money to buy soccer boots. 239 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:18,300 My mum won't buy me boots until I get good at soccer. 240 00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:19,820 Wait. 241 00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:24,160 Billy? I think when you said he might not make the team if he didn't have 242 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,720 boots, Billy got desperate. 243 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,660 So when you all ran over to help Miss Pat and left your outfits, he took the 244 00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:35,860 coins and replaced them with pebbles from the garden. 245 00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:42,340 And to think I was going to buy him a cupcake with money I didn't have. 246 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,380 How could Billy do this to the kids who need somewhere to put their bikes? 247 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,060 Don't worry, Ava. Billy and I are going to have a chat. 248 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,320 Oh, and thank you, Morty. 249 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,280 It's quite a first day you've had, and the bell hasn't even rung yet. 250 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:55,100 Right, Ezra? 251 00:14:58,060 --> 00:15:01,000 I got why Henry thought Morty should be my special project. 252 00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:07,840 He knew we would get on. But now, she's given me an idea for a much better 253 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,840 special project. 254 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,260 You and I should start a detective agency. 255 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400 Cool. You know who else we should ask? Morty. 256 00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:15,740 She's pretty smart. 257 00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:21,120 I was talking to Morty, Kyle. Really? I would love that. I've always wanted to 258 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,079 be an investigator. 259 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,940 Me too. Can I join too? 260 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,140 I've always wanted to be a... What do you call it? 261 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,820 Investigator, of course. What about you, Ava? Oh, my goodness, yes! 262 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,140 We can have a cool agency office. Where will our office be? 263 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,900 I knew the perfect place. 264 00:15:40,449 --> 00:15:45,350 We have a granny flat out the back of my house. We can decorate it and I'll do a 265 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:48,330 sign on the door. I can do a sign. What will the sign say? 266 00:15:48,630 --> 00:15:50,630 Our name, silly. What's our name? 267 00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,410 It has to be catchy. 268 00:15:52,670 --> 00:15:56,630 About the four of us. That says what we do. And tells people that we're the best 269 00:15:56,630 --> 00:16:00,190 investigators. That's the name. The Investigator. The Investigator. 270 00:16:00,690 --> 00:16:01,690 The Investigator. 271 00:16:02,650 --> 00:16:03,650 Wait, 272 00:16:05,650 --> 00:16:07,210 what did you guys call it? 273 00:16:07,530 --> 00:16:08,710 The Investigator. 274 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Uh -oh. I did it backwards. 275 00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:18,780 Oh, and guess what? Henry really liked this special project. 276 00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:26,200 Well, Henry... Mr McGillick, welcome to the investigators' first video blog. 277 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,440 Ava? Yeah, all right. You can do the sign. 278 00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:45,880 In an investigator's office, it's sometimes hard to find... Because it's 279 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,140 really an office. It's this flat behind Ezra's house. But one needs another 280 00:16:50,140 --> 00:16:51,780 visit, which is tomorrow. 281 00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:53,740 So we have to clean the fridge. 282 00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:59,360 Ezra's at piano practice, so we said we'd do it. On the condition that I can 283 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,940 any food I find in here. 284 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,460 So, because the office is hard to find, Ezra and I made a flyer of where to find 285 00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:07,460 us with a map. 286 00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:10,380 And then we did a letterbox job. 287 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,240 Which was surprisingly successful. 288 00:17:24,180 --> 00:17:25,339 Can we help you? 289 00:17:25,619 --> 00:17:28,020 I'm looking for the investigator's detective agency. 290 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,120 Our flyer had worked. 291 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,480 This is the investigator's detective agency. 292 00:17:34,980 --> 00:17:36,180 Where are the detectives? 293 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,500 Here.

I need someone who can actually help solve a crime. 300 00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:00,540 Did a crime happen at the frozen yoghurt shop? 301 00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:05,240 That's where you've come from now, isn't it?

She gets so much money at the frozen yogurt shop. 363 00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:49,210 Grace, it's rude to talk about how much money people earn. 364 00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:52,130 I'm not sure Grace liked me saying that. 365 00:20:52,450 --> 00:20:56,030 How dare you?
