0:13>> Hi David.

0:15>> Emma?

0:17Are you still working?

0:19>> Yes.

0:20We finished [music] late.

0:22>> I was waiting for your call.

0:24Are you okay?

0:26>> I'm okay. [music]

0:27Just tired.

0:29>> Do you want me to pick you up?

0:30>> No.

0:31I'm driving home now.

0:33Please rest first. [music]

0:35>> Drive carefully.

0:36>> I will.

0:37>> Come home soon.

0:40>> I will.

0:41Good night.

0:50>> Water.

1:01A thief?

1:04A hungry thief?

1:08>> Dad?

1:10>> Shh.

1:12>> Why are you hiding?

1:14>> I think someone is in the house.

1:19>> Is the thief taking my pizza?

1:22>> I don't think pizza is the biggest

1:23problem right now.

1:25>> It is my last slice.

1:28>> Stay quiet.

1:31>> Dad? Huh?

1:33>> Anna, shh.

1:36>> [screaming]

1:38>> Too late.

1:40>> Hey!

1:41>> Not the pizza!

1:44>> David, calm down. [music]

1:46It's me.

1:47>> Emma?

1:48>> Mom?

1:49Mom?

1:51>> Surprise! [music]

1:53>> Why are you dressed like that?

1:55>> You do not look like you went to normal

1:57work.

1:59>> You look like someone from a movie.

2:01>> That is because this is a movie costume.

2:05>> A movie costume? Mom is in a movie?

2:09>> Kind of.

2:10>> What kind of movie?

2:12Is it a superhero movie or a spy movie?

2:16>> Well, dressed like that, I'm guessing it

2:18is not a romantic comedy.

2:20>> No, not a romantic comedy.

2:23>> Do you fight bad guys?

2:25>> Not exactly.

2:27>> Do you find something?

2:29>> Maybe.

2:31>> Do you have a treasure map?

2:32>> Peter.

2:34>> Just asking.

2:36>> Start at the beginning.

2:38>> But after I [music] explain, everyone

2:39goes back to bed.

2:41>> Okay.

2:44>> That was too fast.

2:52>> [music]

2:58>> Interesting. [music]

3:02Excuse me.

3:05>> Yes?

3:06>> I'm sorry to bother you. My name is

3:08Victor Hayes.

3:10I'm a film director.

3:12>> A film director?

3:14>> We are casting the lead role for an

3:15action-adventure movie.

3:17>> And you are asking me?

3:20Oh.

3:22>> You look very close to our character,

3:24but that is not the only reason.

3:26>> It isn't?

3:28>> You reacted fast, but you did not panic.

3:31>> I only saved coffee.

3:33>> In my job, that is already heroic.

3:38The movie is called Mystery of the

3:40Ancient Temple.

3:42It is about a normal woman who enters an

3:45ancient mystery and finds courage she

3:48did not know she had.

3:50>> I am not an actress.

3:53>> Maybe not yet. But sometimes the camera

3:55needs a real person.

3:58>> I have a family. I do not do dangerous

4:01things.

4:03>> Good. I do not want someone reckless.

4:07We have a stunt double.

4:08We have safety experts. Everything is

4:11Everything is carefully planned.

4:13Would you try one screen test?

4:15>> One screen test?

4:18>> Just one.

4:21>> One screen test.

4:24>> So, the director saw you save coffee?

4:26>> Yes.

4:28>> And then he gave you a movie?

4:30>> Not that fast. I did a screen test. Then

4:33[music] they offered me the role.

4:35>> And you did not tell me?

4:37>> I wanted to.

4:39But it was a secret project.

4:42I could only tell family when the studio

4:43allowed it.

4:45>> And tonight?

4:46>> Tonight was supposed to be the night.

4:49But we found out first.

4:52>> [laughter]

4:52>> Yes. [music]

4:55>> We are good detectives.

4:56>> Very sleepy detectives.

4:59>> Is the movie dangerous?

5:01>> [music]

5:01>> It looks dangerous, but everything is

5:03carefully planned. There are safety

5:05people, action coaches, [music] and a

5:07stunt double.

5:09>> What is a stunt double?

5:11>> Someone who does the difficult action

5:13scene scenes for an actor.

5:15>> So, someone helps you?

5:17>> Yes.

5:18Her name is Ava Stone.

5:21>> Can we meet her?

5:23>> Maybe tomorrow.

5:24>> Tomorrow?

5:26>> Tomorrow is our first big location shoot

5:29on an island with old ruins.

5:31>> An island with ancient ruins?

5:35>> That explains the outfit.

5:38>> Can we come?

5:39>> No.

5:40>> Please? We will stay far away.

5:44>> I can watch them.

5:45We'll stay in the visitor area.

5:48We won't touch anything, run,

5:50or open mysterious doors.

5:53>> Please, Mom. We will be good.

5:56>> But you [music] stay with Dad and listen

5:58to the crew.

5:59If anyone says stop, you stop.

6:02>> Team visitor area!

6:05>> And now, team visitor area goes back to

6:07bed.

6:09>> Mom is in an adventure movie.

6:10>> I know.

6:12On an island. Maybe treasure.

6:15Peter.

6:17>> Are you really okay?

6:19>> I'm nervous.

6:21I'm not an [music] action star.

6:23>> No. You are Emma. That is better.

6:27You don't have to be fearless.

6:29Just do your best.

6:31And remember,

6:32we are there with you.

6:34We'll be right there.

6:36>> By team visitor area?

6:38>> Always.

6:43>> It is just a movie.

6:45>> If you get scared, look at us.

6:56>> Mr. Hayes, thank you for letting us

6:57[music] come with the crew.

6:59>> You're welcome.

7:01But there are rules.

7:03>> Stay with Dad.

7:05Stay behind the safe line.

7:08>> Do not touch props.

7:10>> And do not open mysterious doors.

7:13>> Perfect.

7:15I like rules that keep us alive.

7:18>> Mom, may I ask who everyone is?

7:21>> Of course.

7:22That is the makeup artist.

7:25>> I can change almost anything.

7:27>> Can you turn me into a superhero?

7:30>> Easy.

7:32>> What about a zombie?

7:33>> Also easy.

7:35>> No, thank you. Superhero is fine.

7:38>> That is Noah, the camera operator.

7:40>> So he shows people happens?

7:43>> Exactly. And that is Leo, drone camera

7:46and technical support.

7:48>> A flying camera?

7:50>> A careful flying camera.

7:52>> And that is Ava Stone.

7:55My stunt double.

7:56>> What does a stunt double do?

7:58>> The difficult action scenes. Running,

8:01jumping, climbing, rope work.

8:04>> Cool.

8:06>> Safely?

8:07>> Always safely.

8:09>> Best answer.

8:17>> This looks real.

8:19Huh! Are these real ruins?

8:22>> Some are real.

8:23And some are movie sets. A storm hit

8:26[music] this side of the island last

8:28night.

8:29Some sand moved, but the team said

8:31[music] the area is safe.

8:33>> I suddenly love indoor movies.

8:36>> Too late.

8:40>> This line [music] is our new home.

8:43>> What if I see treasure?

8:45>> Treasure can wave at us from [music] far

8:47away.

8:49>> Is that real?

8:51>> Movie real.

8:52>> What does that mean?

8:54>> It looks real on camera.

8:55>> Woah.

8:57>> You are adding so much dust. Movie dust.

9:02>> Better than real dust.

9:07>> There are two moms.

9:10Peter.

9:11>> I am the stunt version.

9:14>> First Emma arrives at the temple. A

9:16simple scene.

9:18I support simple scenes.

9:22Emma, you have [music] just found the

9:24first clue.

9:26You are excited, but careful.

9:30Quiet on set.

9:32Camera.

9:33Rolling.

9:34Action!

9:39>> The symbol is real.

9:41>> Cut. Good. Again, but slower.

9:46>> Mom looks like a real explorer.

9:49>> She is good.

9:51>> Wow. This is the most realistic movie I

9:54have ever watched.

9:56>> Dad.

9:58Where did you get [music] popcorn?

10:00>> I found it at home.

10:02In a very secret place.

10:04>> What secret place? [music]

10:06>> [laughter]

10:08>> Maybe someone forgot it in the closet.

10:10Or maybe someone hid it there.

10:13>> Dad, that was my snack.

10:15>> [laughter]

10:17>> Okay, okay. Here you [music] go.

10:20Eat slowly.

10:22We may not find more popcorn on an

10:24ancient island.

10:26>> I will protect it better next time.

10:29Hmm.

10:32>> The next scene has more movement. A

10:35step, a turn, and a small jump.

10:38That sounds like three chances to fall.

10:41Then we make it simple.

10:43Breathe.

10:45Look.

10:47Move.

10:48Your turn.

10:51Look before you move.

10:56>> I did not fall.

10:58>> That is always a good scene.

11:01>> But what if I get really scared one day?

11:03>> Scared is okay.

11:05Panic is the problem.

11:07So remember the rule.

11:09Two words.

11:11Stay calm.

11:12Two words.

11:14Stay calm.

11:16Remember them.

11:17I will ask you again at the end of the

11:18video.

11:20And how do you stay calm? Breathe.

11:24Look and move.

11:25>> Got it.

11:26>> Breathe, look, move.

11:29For the careful explorer.

11:31>> Thank you.

11:32>> Mason, is the gate ready?

11:35>> The big stone gate? Yes.

11:40>> That gate? I thought that was just an

11:42old ruin.

11:43Maybe the art team cleaned it for the

11:45shot.

11:46Are you sure?

11:49I'll check.

11:52>> Mason!

11:54We need THE FAKE STONES NOW.

11:571 minute.

12:02>> Everyone,

12:03focus. This is the important temple

12:06entrance scene.

12:11>> What is that?

12:12>> A support camera. It records close

12:15action.

12:16>> Can I talk through it?

12:18>> No, video and sound only.

12:20Signal is good.

12:22>> Quiet on set. Camera, rolling.

12:25>> Action.

12:29>> Slower.

12:31Feel the mystery.

12:37Was that a sound [music] effect?

12:40>> Not us.

12:41>> STOP! STOP! THE PROP gate is over there!

12:48>> Then what gate is this?

12:54Emma?

12:57>> David!

12:58>> Emma!

13:00>> [screaming]

13:03>> Emma!

13:05>> Peter, stop.

13:07Mom is inside.

13:09>> Tools, LIGHTS, CALL THE ISLAND RESCUE

13:12TEAM. LEO, get the drone.

13:17Wait. The support camera.

13:19Can you see her?

13:21A weak signal.

13:23We may see [music] her, but we cannot

13:25talk to her.

13:26>> Then find another way in.

13:29>> Drone going up.

13:30>> Ow.

13:34Hello?

13:35David?

13:42This is not a movie set.

13:48>> The drone is near a crack.

13:50The signal is stronger.

13:54>> That's Mom.

13:55She is okay.

13:57>> Emma.

14:02>> Is that still fake?

14:05Behind the movie temple.

14:07>> There is a real one.

14:16>> This place is real.

14:19Maybe there is another way out up there.

14:25She is doing the [music] right thing.

14:32What is that?

14:38These words [music] are strange.

14:41Maybe very old.

14:43Oh, no.

14:46I'll figure this out later.

14:48First, I need to get out.

14:55>> That is not a movie prop.

14:57>> It triggered the temple.

15:00>> The top pool just opened.

15:02Water is flooding the lower hall.

15:05Get someone in there.

15:07Leo, find the crack.

15:09>> If he finds it,

15:11I'm going down.

15:15It's a defense system.

15:22Not that one.

15:28>> [panting and sighs]

15:29>> A whirlpool.

15:31I cannot fall in there.

15:33>> Look before you move.

15:38>> Good.

15:41>> I found a way in.

15:43>> Ava?

15:44>> I'm going.

15:46>> Please help Mom.

15:48>> I will.

15:52That is high.

15:58>> Emma!

15:59>> Ava!

16:01Use the step on your left.

16:04Good. Good. One more.

16:11I am very happy to see you. Same. Are

16:14you hurt? No, just scared.

16:18Stay behind me.

16:22Don't look down.

16:24Okay.

16:30What was that?

16:33Back!

16:35Run!

16:42Chocolate!

16:44Leave it!

16:51It is important. We need to bring it

16:53[music] back.

16:55Oh, no.

16:57Emma, look at me. Scared is okay. Stay

17:00calm.

17:04Ava!

17:09I've got you.

17:19I really don't like real temples.

17:21>> Me, too. Come on.

17:24>> Together?

17:25>> Together.

17:36>> Emma!

17:39>> Mom!

17:40>> I'm okay.

17:43>> Are you hurt?

17:45>> No.

17:46Just very dirty.

17:49Thank you.

17:50>> You made the jump.

17:53>> Only because you were there.

17:55>> That is teamwork.

17:58>> Emma,

17:59I'm sorry.

18:01This should never have happened.

18:04We recorded everything.

18:07>> [sighs]

18:08>> I wish it was a special effect.

18:11>> Me, too.

18:13>> But first, we call the island

18:15authorities and the archaeology team.

18:19>> Is that treasure?

18:21>> No.

18:22>> Then what is it?

18:27>> I don't know yet.

18:28But it is important.

18:36>> Mom, is the movie finished now?

18:39>> [music]

18:39>> Almost.

18:42>> Are you still the explorer, Mom?

18:44>> Only in the [music] movie.

18:46>> Good. Next time you explore something,

18:49can it be a cookie factory?

18:51>> Finally, a safe [music] location.

18:53>> With free samples.

18:57>> No more ancient temples for a while.

19:02Victor.

19:04>> That does not sound like no more ancient

19:06temples.

19:07>> Hello, Victor.

19:09>> Emma, I have two pieces of good news.

19:12>> That sounds suspicious. [music]

19:14>> We edited the rescue footage into the

19:16movie.

19:17The audience loves it.

19:19>> [music]

19:19>> The first screenings are selling out.

19:22>> Selling out? Hmm.

19:24That means many people want to watch it.

19:28Because of Mom?

19:30>> Mostly because of Mom.

19:32And the second news [music] is about the

19:33golden tablet. The experts studied it.

19:37It is not just [music] a tablet.

19:39It is a map.

19:40>> A map to what?

19:42>> To the sunken library

19:44>> [music]

19:44>> of Atlantis.

19:46>> Atlantis? A library under the sea?

19:50>> I knew this phone call was dangerous.

19:53Emma, we may need to start [music] part

19:55two.

19:56>> I'll think about it.

19:58Right now, I just want to be a normal

20:00mom.

20:01>> Emma! Emma!

20:03>> Normal moms do not find golden [music]

20:04maps.

20:05>> This one does.

20:07>> [laughter]

20:09>> Now I have a question for you.

20:12When I was scared at the gap, what did

20:14Ava tell me?

20:15It was two words.

20:18If you remember, [music] write the two

20:19words in the comments.

20:21>> It helped Mom cross the gap.

20:24>> And if you want me to explore the

20:26[music] next mystery, write the name of

20:28the lost city, too.

20:29>> The one under the sea.

20:31>> Careful. If too many people remember

20:33[music] it, we may need another

20:35vacation.

20:36>> [laughter]

20:38>> See you next time.
