Transcript: The Mystery of Show and Tell
(MUSIC PLAYS)
In the basement, E.B. says WHAT A GREAT DAY TO SOLVE A
MYSTERY.
E.B. is in his mid-teens with curly brown hair in an afro and he wears jeans, a yellow T-shirt and an unbuttoned plaid shirt.
He says LET'S SEE, UH... YEAH.
THIS ONE'S CALLING OUT TO ME.
"SHOW AND TELL." NICE.
He opens the file and says WHAT DO YOU THINK, KYLA?
(HUMMING)
ALL RIGHT, KYLA?
YOOHOO, KYLA?
Kyla is checking her phone.
Kyla is in her mid-teens, with long slightly wavy brown hair. She wears jeans and a printed jacket.
Kyla says SORRY, SORRY. WE JUST
GOT A MESSAGE ON OUR WEBSITE
FROM A GIRL NAMED EMMA.
E.B. says WHAT DID SHE SAY?
Kyla says 7H15, GR AND
THE NUMBER 8. THX, MA.
E.B. says I DON'T HAVE A CLUE
ABOUT IT, BUT WE DO HAVE
THREE CLUES FOR OUR MYSTERY,
"SHOW AND TELL."
Kyla says OOH. I LOVE SHOW-AND-TELL.
THIS LOOKS COOL. OKAY, CLASS.
FOR OUR SHOW-AND-TELL TODAY,
I'VE BROUGHT THIS... CROWN.
She grabs a sign with a strange symbol.
E.B. says NO. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY...
A CHANDELIER.
Kyla says AND AS QUEEN OF THIS
CASTLE, I'LL RESEARCH THIS CROWN
AND PROVE YOU WRONG.
E.B. says OKAY. NOW CHECK THIS
OUT. WOAH. WHAT IN... THIS LOOKS
LIKE A MAP. BON ECHO CREEK.
YEAH! I'LL BET THIS IS
FROM BON ECHO PARK. IT'S
A PROVINCIAL PARK NEAR HERE.
Kyla says AND LOOK AT THAT
STRANGE STICK FIGURE. WEIRD.
She grabs a card with a "jazz hands" emoji and says JAZZ HANDS? WHAT DO JAZZ HANDS
HAVE TO DO WITH THE MYSTERY
OF "SHOW AND TELL"?
E.B. says I DON'T KNOW. UNLESS
HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO SHOW US
HOW TO SOLVE MYSTERIES
BROADWAY-STYLE.
HA-HA! TIME TO INVESTIGATE.
Music plays as the opening of the show rolls.
A song goes HISTORY IS FULL OF MYSTERIES
GREAT AUNT HERMIONE
COULD BE HEARD TO SAY
Aunt Hermione stands next to a knight’s armour. She’s in her fifties, with short white hair and wears glasses, beige trousers, a belted white short-sleeved shirt, an explorer’s hat. She carries a cross-body bag.
The song goes YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT CAME BEFORE
TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD TODAY
Clips show images of power lines, an abacus and a computer.
The song continues SHE WAS GOING TO WRITE A BOOK
CALLED "MYSTERY FILES."
TO TELL WHAT SHE UNCOVERED
BUT TIME RAN OUT
NEW ADVENTURES CAME FIRST
SO SHE LEFT HER SECRETS
UNDISCOVERED
She writes down notes on a notebook, holds a globe, travels by jeep, flies an airplane.
The song continues ALL SHE LEFT BEHIND
WAS A HOUSE FULL OF CLUES
BUT E.B. AND KYLA HAVE A PLAN
In the basement, a drawer in a chest opens and random objects come out.
The song continues THEY'RE GONNA SOLVE
EACH MYSTERY FILE
AND FINISH
WHAT HERMIONE BEGAN
THEY'LL SOLVE
E.B. and Kyla appear looking through Hermione’s notes.
The song continues THE MYSTERY FILES
UNRAVEL ALL THE MYSTERIES
THEY'LL SOLVE
THE MYSTERY FILES
UPLOAD HIDDEN HISTORIES
THEY'LL SOLVE
THE MYSTERY FILES
E.B. and Kyla high-five.
The title of the show reads "The Mystery Files."
(music plays)
E.B. says I'M FOLLOWING AUNT HERMIONE'S
MAP THROUGH BON ECHO PARK
TO THIS STRANGE STICK FIGURE
TO SEE WHAT IT'LL UNCOVER ABOUT
THE MYSTERY OF "SHOW AND TELL."
Lisa is in her forties, with short straight light brown hair. She wears a ranger’s uniform.
Lisa says HI. IT'S NICE
TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
E.B. says NICE TO MEET YOU TOO. LISA?
Lisa says YES IT IS.
E.B. says I'M TRYING TO SOLVE A MYSTERY
THAT BEGINS WITH THIS MAP, AND
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNOW WHAT
THIS STICK FIGURE IS MARKING.
Lisa says I CAN SHOW YOU. FOLLOW ME.
They walk to a peer and get on a pontoon boat.
E.B. says OKAY. ALL RIGHT. COOL.
WOW. THAT'S AWESOME.
THAT CLIFF IS HUGE!
Lisa says IT IS. WE HAVE REALLY
GOOD ECHOES, OR ACOUSTIC
PROPERTIES, ON THE CLIFF. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO GIVE IT A TRY?
E.B. shouts ICE CREAM!
(ECHOES)
(LISA LAUGHS.)
E.B. says I JUST HEARD MYSELF SAY,
"ICE CREAM," THREE TIMES.
OH MY GOODNESS.
Lisa says AND PROBABLY A LOT OF
OTHER PEOPLE HEARD YOU AS WELL.
E.B. says YEAH. I MEAN, I'M SURE
THEY DON'T MIND, BECAUSE
EVERYONE LOVES ICE CREAM.
Lisa says THAT'S TRUE.
E.B. says YEAH.
WOW. THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE!
Lisa says IT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
AND IT'S ALSO A SACRED PLACE
FOR FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE.
E.B. says OH, REALLY?
Lisa says UH-HUH.
E.B. says WOW.
Lisa says SO IT'S THOUGHT TO BE
A REALLY POWERFUL PLACE.
E.B. says I BET. IT FEELS POWERFUL
JUST BEING HERE.
Lisa says UH-HUH. AND A PLACE THEN
WITH A LOT OF SPIRITS.
E.B. says HEY! IS THAT ARTWORK?
Lisa says YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
E.B. says WOW. OKAY, I GET IT. SO,
BECAUSE IT'S A SACRED PLACE,
THAT'S MAYBE WHY SOME PEOPLE
WOULD'VE DRAWN SOME STUFF
ON THE ROCK?
Lisa says THAT'S TRUE. AND THIS IS
ALSO PART OF A CANOE ROUTE,
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD'VE
BEEN TRAVELING BY THIS CLIFF.
AND ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT
THAT PICTOGRAPH UNDER THE
TWO ANIMALS, IT'S SAID TO BE
A CANOE WITH PEOPLE OR SPIRITS.
E.B. says IT LOOKS PRETTY OLD.
Lisa says OH... THEY SAY SOME OF
THEM COULD BE ABOUT 300 YEARS
OLD. SOME MIGHT GO ALL THE WAY
TO ABOUT A THOUSAND YEARS OLD.
E.B. says OH MY GOODNESS!
Lisa says SO, E.B., DO YOU SEE THAT
PICTOGRAPH RIGHT OVER THERE?
E.B. says WAIT A MINUTE... YUP.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE PICTURE
FROM GREAT AUNT HERMIONE'S MAP.
WHO IS THAT?
Lisa says IT'S THOUGHT TO BE A
SPIRIT CALLED NANABUSH. NANABUSH
IS A SPIRIT WHO TAUGHT PEOPLE
THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO.
HOW TO HUNT, FISH. ALWAYS TAUGHT
LESSONS. AND SOME PEOPLE SAY
THAT IT CAN TURN ITSELF
INTO ANYTHING IT WANTS TO BE,
INCLUDING A RABBIT.
E.B. says I HAVE TO SHOW KYLA.
(KYLA'S PHONE RINGS.)
Kyla says HI, E.B.
Kyla is painting a sign.
E.B. says KYLA. KYLA. LOOK.
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK. LOOK AT WHAT
THE STICK FIGURE WAS MARKING
ON AUNT HERMIONE'S MAP.
Kyla says UH-HUH.
E.B. says UH-UH! SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU
WITH MY AMAZING DISCOVERY.
Kyla says OH, WOW!
WHAT ARE THOSE DRAWINGS?
E.B. says THEY'RE FIRST
NATIONS PICTOGRAPHS.
Kyla says NO WAY!
E.B. says ARE YOU RESEARCHING
THAT CHANDELIER CLUE?
Kyla says YOU MEAN THE CROWN CLUE?
AND NO I WASN'T, BUT THANKS
FOR REMINDING ME. I'LL GET BACK
TO THAT WHEN I'M DONE WITH THIS.
E.B. says YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH
THAT MESSAGE! WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
MYSTERY TO SOLVE. REMEMBER?
"SHOW AND TELL"?
Kyla says I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
CHECK THIS OUT.
She plays an animated video and says I FOUND OUT THAT PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN USING SIGNS AND MARKINGS
SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF HUMAN HISTORY.
SOME OF THE EARLIEST WERE CAVE
PAINTINGS. MAYBE THEY WERE
A KIND OF SHOW-AND-TELL.
THE OLDEST CAVE PAINTING EVER
COMES FROM INDONESIA.
IT'S AT LEAST 35,400 YEARS OLD.
IT WAS SO OLD THEY HADN'T EVEN
INVENTED REGULAR PAINT AND
BRUSHES YET. ALL OVER THE WORLD,
EARLY HUMANS FINGER-PAINTED
WITH OCHRE, A NATURAL PIGMENT
FROM THE EARTH. THE COLOUR OF IT
RANGES FROM DEEP ORANGE TO RED
TO BROWNISH-YELLOW.
She paints her cheek while painting the sig.
She says OOPS. LUCKY ALL I'M USING
IS WATER-COLOUR.
E.B. says YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK THAT
LOOK ACTUALLY WORKS FOR YOU.
HEY, DO YOU THINK AUNT HERMIONE
WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT CAVE ART
WAS THE FIRST SHOW-AND-TELL?
Kyla says I'M NOT SO SURE. HOW DOES
THAT EXPLAIN THE OTHER CLUES?
E.B. says IT DOESN'T. BUT MAYBE...
THESE PAINTINGS WERE DRAWN
IN OCHRE, WHICH LASTS A REALLY
LONG TIME, AND WAS PUT ON A BUSY
WATERWAY TO SHOW PEOPLE THE WAY.
LIKE A... LIKE A STREET SIGN.
THAT SECOND CLUE COULD BE
A STREET SIGN, SHOWING
PEOPLE THE WAY, TOO.
Kyla says WHAT'S IT SUPPOSED
TO TELL ME? ROYALTY AHEAD?
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says NO, SILLY. IT'S OBVIOUSLY
A SIGN FOR A LIGHT SHOP.
Kyla says THEN HOW DOES
THE EMOJI FIT IN?
E.B. says NOT SURE. BUT I THINK THAT
COULD BE SOME KIND OF A SIGN.
Kyla says I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
E.B. says AND I'LL CHECK
MY THEORY WITH LISA.
Kyla says SEE YA.
E.B. says LISA, CAN YOU TELL ME MORE
ABOUT THESE PICTOGRAPHS? I HAVE
A THEORY THAT THEY WERE MEANT
TO SHOW BOAT TRAVELERS THE WAY.
Lisa says YOU MIGHT THINK THAT,
BUT IN FACT THEY TELL STORIES.
E.B. says OH, OKAY.
Lisa says IT'S THOUGHT THAT THESE ARE
RECORDS OF VISIONS OR DREAMS...
E.B. says OH!
Lisa says ...THAT SOME NATIVE
PEOPLE HAD WHILE THEY WERE HERE.
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS FOR SURE
WHAT EACH PICTOGRAPH MEANT TO
THE ORIGINAL PAINTER. A LOT OF
THINGS WERE NEVER WRITTEN DOWN.
THEY WERE JUST PASSED ON ORALLY.
AND A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION'S
BEEN LOST.
(music plays)
Lisa says SO, E.B., WE SAW SOME
OF THE PICTOGRAPHS...
E.B. says RIGHT.
Lisa says AND LEARNED A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT THE PAINT IS MADE OF.
E.B. says UH-HUH.
Lisa shows him a rock and says SO THIS IS CALLED
HEMATITE. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
WOULD CRUSH IT INTO A POWDER.
E.B. says OKAY.
Lisa says AND THEN THEY MAY HAVE
MIXED IT WITH WATER OR BEAR
GREASE EVEN, OR EVEN FISH OIL...
E.B. says BEAR GREASE?
WHAT'S BEAR GREASE?
Lisa says IT'S JUST GREASE FROM
A BEAR AFTER IT'S BEEN KILLED.
E.B. says OH, OKAY.
Lisa says AND THEY MIX THAT...
E.B. says OKAY.
Lisa says ...OR THE FISH OIL OR
WATER WITH THE CRUSHED HEMATITE
POWDER. AND THAT'S OCHRE.
E.B. says WOW!
E.B. starts painting with the mix.
(E.B.'S PHONE RINGS.)
E.B. says HEY, KYLA. I GOT A LITTLE...
SHOW-AND-TELL
FOR YOU, HUH?
Kyla says THAT'S AWESOME! AND
GUESS WHAT? YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT
CLUE TWO. IT IS A STREET SIGN. I
FOUND THE WORD "MAXIMUM" ON THE
BACK AND FIGURED OUT IT'S FOR
A COMPANY CALLED MAXIMUM SIGNS.
E.B. says COOL. BUT I'M STARTING
TO THINK OUR "SHOW AND TELL."
MYSTERY ISN'T JUST ABOUT
STREET SIGNS SHOWING PEOPLE
THE WAY ANYMORE.
I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING
TO DO WITH CULTURAL STORIES.
Kyla says WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
E.B. says WELL, THE PICTOGRAPHS
TOLD IMPORTANT TALES ABOUT THE
CULTURES OF THE ALGONQUIN AND
OJIBWE PEOPLE THAT PAINTED THEM.
Kyla says SO WHAT DID YOU
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEIR CULTURE?
E.B. says THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
IT. THE STORIES WERE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I THOUGHT
THEY WERE SAYING.
Kyla says WELL, I'M OFF TO MAXIMUM
SIGNS, SO I'LL SEE IF I CAN PUT
YOUR THEORY TO THE TEST THERE.
E.B. says GOOD LUCK. AND I'LL
GET STARTED ON EMOJI RESEARCH.
WHO KNOWS HOW THAT FITS IN.
Kyla records a video and says I'M AT MAXIMUM SIGNS
TO PROVE THAT THIS IS A CROWN,
AND THAT MAKES ME QUEEN MYSTERY
SOLVER. OH, AND ALSO TO FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT THE MYSTERY
OF "SHOW AND TELL."
HELLO?
She enters an office and meets Tyler.
Tyler is in his forties, balding and with a goatee. He wears glasses, jeans and a blue polo shirt.
Tyler says OH. HI, KYLA. I'M TYLER.
Kyla says NICE TO MEET YOU. I WAS
WONDERING IF YOU COULD TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS. PERSONALLY,
I THINK IT'S A CROWN, BUT
E.B. THINKS IT'S A CHANDELIER.
Tyler says HMM... COME WITH ME.
LET ME SHOW YOU.
Tyler takes her to the manufacturing room.
Kyla says WOAH. THIS LOOKS AWESOME.
Tyler shoes her other signs and says SO, KYLA, DO THESE
GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS?
Kyla says WELL, THESE LOOK LIKE
BOATS. THIS LOOKS LIKE WATER.
SO... OH! IT'S NOT A CROWN.
IT'S AN ANCHOR.
Tyler says YES.
Kyla says SO THIS SIGN TELLS
PEOPLE WHERE BOATS CAN ANCHOR.
ARE SIGNS LIKE THIS
THE SAME EVERYWHERE?
Tyler says SIGNS ARE USUALLY
DESIGNED TO BE UNIVERSALLY
UNDERSTOOD. HOWEVER, SOME SIGNS
ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY
FOR A COUNTRY AND-OR CULTURE.
Kyla says HUH. PICTOGRAPHS. JUST
LIKE THE ONES IN BON ECHO PARK.
Tyler says YEAH. PICTOGRAPHS
LIKE THESE QUICKLY COMMUNICATE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO DRIVERS
AS THE CARS GO FLYING BY.
FOR EXAMPLE...
Kyla says DEER CROSSING.
Tyler says CORRECT.
Kyla says BUS STOP?
Tyler says YES.
(KYLA'S PHONE RINGS.)
Kyla says SORRY. HEY, E.B.
E.B. says HEY, KYLA. I WAS WRONG
ABOUT THE EMOJI. SOME PEOPLE
ONLINE ARE SAYING THAT IT'S
THE "HUG FACE." WEIRD.
Kyla says I KNOW. AND I WAS ALSO
WRONG ABOUT THE CROWN SIGN.
E.B. says HAH! I KNEW
IT WAS A CHANDELIER.
Kyla says ACTUALLY, IT'S AN
ANCHOR. AND IT'S PUT IN AREAS
WERE BOATS CAN PARK.
E.B. says HUH. THIS MYSTERY'S FULL
OF MISTAKEN IDENTITIES. I MEAN,
I THOUGHT THE PICTOGRAPHS SAID
ONE THING, BUT THEY ACTUALLY
MEANT ANOTHER. THE CROWN-SLASH-
CHANDELIER TURNED OUT TO BE AN
ANCHOR, AND NOW THE JAZZ HANDS
EMOJI MAY BE A HUG?
Kyla says YEAH. AND IT'S STRANGE
BECAUSE EACH CLUE IS A SIGN
OR SYMBOL THAT SHOULD BE REALLY
CLEAR, BUT OUR FIRST GUESSES
WERE TOTALLY OFF TRACK.
E.B. says YOU'D THINK, RIGHT?
WELL, CHECK THIS OUT. I'VE
FOUND SOMETHING SUPER-FUNNY
THAT I THINK MIGHT HELP.
E.B. plays an animated video where he’s in a car.
He says EVER SEEN A SIGN LIKE THIS?
A sign with a kangaroo on appears.
Kyla says NO.
E.B. says THEY'RE REALLY COMMON
IN AUSTRALIA TO WARN DRIVERS
A KANGAROO MIGHT HOP
IN THEIR PATH.
Kyla says HUH.
E.B. says AND WHAT ABOUT THIS?
Another sign appears with a show with a broken heel.
E.B. says IT'S TO WARN WOMEN IN DENMARK
THE COBBLED STREETS MIGHT
BREAK THEIR SHOES.
Kyla says WOW. THAT WAS TOTALLY
MY NEXT GUESS. YEAH.
E.B. says DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
A sign of a hand coming out of a hole appears.
Kyla says A SIGN OF A ZOMBIE INVASION?
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says WRONG. IT'S A SIGN
FROM FINLAND, WARNING AGAINST
THIN ICE. I KNOW THEY LOOK
WEIRD TO US, RIGHT? BUT
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THOSE
COUNTRIES TOTALLY GET THEM.
Kyla says SO IF WHERE YOU LIVE
IS SO IMPORTANT, THEN HOW COME
YOU DIDN'T GET THE PICTOGRAPHS
AT BON ECHO PARK IF YOU LIVE
ONLY A FEW HOURS AWAY
IN THE SAME COUNTRY?
E.B. says MAYBE BECAUSE I'M NOT PART OF
AN ANCIENT FIRST NATIONS TRIBE.
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
I THINK IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE,
BUT WHEN YOU LIVE.
Kyla says SO ROAD SIGNS WORK
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THE AREA
AND THE MEANING OF THE PICTURE.
THANKS, E.B.
E.B. says COOL. SEE YOU LATER.
Kyla says I WAS WONDERING...
MAYBE, DO YOU THINK I CAN
HELP YOU MAKE A SIGN?
Tyler says YEAH, SURE. COME OVER
WITH ME TO THE LASER CUTTER.
Kyla says YEAH.
I RECOGNIZE THAT SHAPE.
IT'S FOR A STOP SIGN, RIGHT?
Tyler says YES, EXACTLY. CUT THEM.
She watches the sign being cut by the laser and says OH, WOW! I SEE THE LASER.
IT'S CUTTING OCTAGON SHAPES.
SO WHY ARE STOP SIGNS
OCTAGON SHAPED?
Tyler says OCTAGON HAS EIGHT
SIDES, AND IT INDICATES DANGER.
IT'S THE ONLY SIGN
THAT HAS EIGHT SIDES.
Kyla says WHEN IT COMES TO ROAD SIGNS,
SHAPES AND COLOURS ARE SUPER-
IMPORTANT. RECTANGLES ARE FOR
DIRECTIONS, AND THEY'RE USUALLY
GREEN. YELLOW DIAMONDS WARN YOU
TO BE CAREFUL AHEAD. AN ORANGE
SIGN MEANS THERE'S CONSTRUCTION.
AND A RED SIGN MEANS STOP OR
DANGER. SO EVEN WHEN A SIGN
IS TOO FAR WAY TO READ,
A DRIVER CAN STILL TELL
WHAT'S COMING UP BY THE SHAPE
AND COLOUR OF THE SIGN. THAT
GIVES ME AN IDEA FOR A SIGN.
TA-DA!
She shows him a sign with a boy, a girl and a magnifying glass.
Tyler says OH, GOOD JOB.
IS IT A DETECTIVE SIGN?
Kyla says YES, IT'S ME AND E.B.
SOLVING A MYSTERY.
Tyler says WHAT DOES "7H 15" MEAN?
Kyla says THAT'S ANOTHER MYSTERY
I'M TRYING TO SOLVE. SEE?
Tyler says I DON'T KNOW, BUT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MYSTERY.
Kyla says THANKS.
E.B. says I'M ON MY WAY TO MEET
DEBBIE - SHE'S A GRAPHIC ARTIST
AND AN EMOJI EXPERT - TO FIND
OUT MORE ABOUT OUR JAZZY, HUG
EMOJI. WHO KNOWS WHY HERMIONE
PUT IT IN HER MYSTERY FILE
LABELED "SHOW AND TELL"?
Debbie says HI, E.B.
Debbie is in her forties, with long slightly wavy blond hair. She wears glasses, gray trousers and a tie die top.
E.B. says HI, DEBBIE. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Debbie says NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
COME ON IN.
Debbie shows him to her studio.
E.B. says OH... LOOK AT ALL
THIS STUFF. SWEET. EMOJIS.
SINCE YOU'RE A GRAPHIC ARTIST,
I'M GONNA SEND YOU ONE. THINK
YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS?
Debbie says OH, ABSOLUTELY. OF COURSE.
E.B. says AND... SENT.
Debbie gets the image and says RECEIVED. BACK TO YOU.
E.B. says OH. HUG. OKAY.
THAT MAKES... THAT MAKES SENSE.
Debbie says WHAT DID YOU THINK IT MEANT?
E.B. says WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS
LIKE... LIKE JAZZ HANDS.
LIKE, I'M TRYING TO SOLVE
A MYSTERY THAT I THINK IS
ABOUT CULTURE AND SIGNS...
Debbie says WELL YOU PICKED
A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THAT. THAT
PARTICULAR EMOJI MEANS "HUG" IN
JAPANESE, WHICH IS WHERE IT WAS
CREATED. BUT IN THE WEST IT
ACTUALLY MEANS "JAZZ HANDS."
TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH
THAT WASN'T THE ORIGINAL INTENT.
E.B. says I FOUND OUT THAT "EMOJI."
IS A MASH-UP OF THE JAPANESE
WORDS "E," WHICH MEANS
"PICTURE," AND "MOJI," WHICH
MEANS CHARACTER. SO AN "EMOJI."
IS KIND OF LIKE A PICTOGRAPH,
JUST LIKE OUR CAVE ART AND BOAT
SIGN CLUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS
OF EMOJIS THAT PEOPLE CAN USE
ON THEIR PHONES, TABLETS, AND
COMPUTERS. AND EVERY COUNTRY
HAS ITS FAVOURITE EMOJI.
Debbie shows E.B. a board with 8 emojis.
She says MAYBE WE CAN PLAY A GAME
WHERE YOU GUESS WHICH COUNTRY
USES THESE MOST COMMONLY.
E.B. says I DO LOVE GAMES.
WELL, LET'S TRY THIS ONE.
E.B. says OKAY, SO, THE PIZZA...
MAYBE ITALY?
Debbie says WELL...
E.B. says I HEAR THE PIZZA'S
PRETTY NICE THERE.
Debbie says YEAH, IT'S LOGICAL,
BUT IT'S WRONG.
E.B. says AMERICA?
Debbie says YOU GOT IT.
(DEBBIE AND E.B. LAUGH.)
OKAY, AND LET'S...
LET'S TRY THE HEART.
E.B. says OKAY, UM...
I'M THINKING, MAYBE, SPAIN OR...
NO, NO, NO. MAYBE FRANCE,
BECAUSE FRENCH IS
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE.
Debbie says YOU HIT THAT ONE
RIGHT ON THE MARK.
E.B. says WOO! OKAY.
Debbie says OKAY. AND MAYBE
FOR A THIRD ONE? WHAT ABOUT
THIS LITTLE NUMBER HERE?
E.B. says HOW ABOUT AUSTRALIA,
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF
ANIMALS, WHICH MEANS THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF POOP.
Debbie says WELL, NICE TRY, BUT NO.
E.B. says UM...
Debbie says IT'S CANADA.
E.B. says CANADA? NO WAY. HOLD ON.
I GOTTA TELL THIS TO KYLA.
He calls Kyla.
Kyla says HI, E.B.
E.B. says KYLA, GUESS WHAT COUNTRY
USES THIS EMOJI THE MOST?
Kyla says EWW! POOP! DISGUSTING.
E.B. says WE DO.
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says WE... WE USE THE
POOP EMOJI THE MOST!
(STILL LAUGHING)
Kyla says BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S
NOT DISGUSTING? THE MESSAGE
FROM EMMA. I THINK I'M CLOSER
TO FIGURING IT OUT.
E.B. says DON'T YOU REMEMBER WE
HAVE ANOTHER MYSTERY TO SOLVE?
Kyla says I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
I'VE ALSO BEEN DOING
SOME DIGGING ON EMOJIS.
BEFORE EMOJIS, THERE WERE
EMOTICONS. AN EMOTICON IS WHERE
YOU USE LETTERS AND SYMBOLS ON A
KEYBOARD TO MAKE A FACE SO YOU
CAN TELL SOMEONE HOW YOU FEEL.
Kyla appears making different faces with the correspondent emoticons next.
She says LIKE THIS WINKING ONE IF YOU'RE
JUST JOKING AROUND. BACK IN
1982, A COMPUTER SCIENTIST HAD A
GREAT IDEA: FACES COULD HELP US
FIGURE OUT WHAT A JOKE WAS AND
WHAT WAS SERIOUS ONLINE. WE CALL
THEM "EMOTICONS." A MIX OF
THE WORD "EMOTION" AND "ICON."
E.B. says SO THE DIFFERENCE IS
AN EMOTICON DESCRIBES HOW
SOMEONE FEELS, BUT AN EMOJI
CAN
BE
THE MESSAGE.
Kyla says YES! LIKE HOW I'D
SEND YOU THIS... IF I WANTED
TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
E.B. says NICE. OKAY, SO
I UNDERSTAND THE "SHOW" PART
OF THE MYSTERY FILE TAG...
Kyla says ME TOO. ALL OF THE CLUES
HAVE LED US TO SYMBOLS
THAT SHOW THINGS.
E.B. says UH-HUH. BUT WHAT
ABOUT THE "TELL" PART?
Kyla says EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TRYING
TO MAKE COMMUNICATION EASIER,
IT JUST GETS HARDER.
(E.B. SIGHS.)
E.B. says I'M GONNA SEE IF
OUR EMOJI EXPERT CAN HELP.
SO, DEBBIE, DO YOU THINK
EMOJIS MAKE COMMUNICATION
EASIER OR HARDER?
Debbie says I'D PROBABLY SAY BOTH.
FOR A SIMPLE MESSAGE YOU COULD
POSSIBLY JUST USE EMOJIS, BUT
THEY DON'T ALWAYS TELL THE WHOLE
STORY. TYPICALLY AN EMOJI OR AN
EMOTICON IS USED TO EMBELLISH
A TEXT MESSAGE, SO THAT YOU GIVE
MORE MEANING TO YOUR MESSAGE
OR EVEN MORE EMOTION
TO YOUR MESSAGE.
E.B. says OKAY.
Debbie says I HAVE AN IDEA. WHY
DON'T WE PLAY ONE MORE GAME?
E.B. says SURE.
Debbie says SO, E.B., WHY DON'T
I TAKE A TURN FIRST AND MAKE
A MESSAGE AND SEE WHETHER YOU
CAN GUESS WHAT I'M THINKING OF.
Debbie combines 3 emojis: a key, a car and a basketball.
E.B. says MAYBE... YOU LOCKED YOUR
KEYS IN YOUR CAR, SO THEN YOU'RE
LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? FORGET
DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE.
I'M JUST GONNA GO PLAY
BASKETBALL AT THE PARK INSTEAD."
Debbie says INTERESTING. YOU
CERTAINLY GOT SOME OF THE
KEY
THOUGHTS. KEY, PARDON THE PUN.
SO WHAT IF I ADD SOMETHING
EMOTIONAL TO IT...
E.B. says OOH...
Debbie says ...LIKE THAT?
She adds a sad emoji.
E.B. says OKAY. YOU DON'T LIKE
KEYS, SO YOU GOT A CAR THAT
DOESN'T NEED A KEY TO DRIVE.
INSTEAD IT'S A BASKETBALL.
INSTEAD OF THE KEY.
Debbie says WELL, YOU MIGHT HAVE
BEEN CLOSER THE FIRST TIME.
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says I THINK SO TOO.
Debbie says SO WHAT I WAS TRYING
TO SAY IS... AND YOU HAD THE
FIRST PART RIGHT. I LOCKED
MY KEYS IN THE CAR WHEN I WENT
TO THE BASKETBALL PRACTICE.
E.B. says OH.
Debbie says BY ADDING THE SAD FACE
I WAS ACTUALLY HOPING TO MAKE IT
CLEARER FOR YOU SO THAT YOU KNEW
I WAS UNHAPPY ABOUT SOMETHING.
SO, E.B., I GUESS WHAT THIS GAME
DEMONSTRATES MORE THAN ANYTHING
IS THAT YOU CAN CERTAINLY
SEND MESSAGES THAT ONLY
CONTAIN EMOJIS...
E.B. says UH-HUH.
Debbie says BUT IT'S KIND OF
DEPENDENT ON WHO YOU ARE,
WHO YOU'RE SENDING IT TO, AND
WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE
TO BE CAN BE COMPLETELY
MISUNDERSTOOD AT THE OTHER END.
E.B. says YEAH.
Debbie says SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY LOTS OF...
MISINTERPRETATIONS CAN HAPPEN
WHEN YOU'RE DOING IT THIS WAY.
E.B. says WELL, YOU KNOW, DEBBIE,
AT FIRST I WAS A BIT...
He holds up a question mark emoji and says A BIT
CONFUSED,
BUT NOW I FINALLY
THINK I KNOW WHAT AUNT HERMIONE
WAS TRYING TO
SAY.
He holds up a man speaking emoji.
(E.B. AND DEBBIE LAUGH.)
He says THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
Debbie says HEY, YOU'RE SO WELCOME.
IT WAS FUN. I'M GLAD TO HELP.
(KYLA'S PHONE RINGS.)
Kyla grabs his phone and says HUH? A FIST AND A DOOR?
E.B. says I WAS SAYING, "KNOCK, KNOCK,"
BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE.
Kyla says BUT WERE YOU OUTSIDE
WITH THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY?
E.B. says I THINK SO.
Kyla says COOL. OKAY, SO I KNOW THE
"SHOW" PART OF OUR MYSTERY IS
WHAT ALL THE CLUES WERE DOING.
E.B. says YUP. THE CAVE ART
SHOWED STORIES. THE STREET SIGN
SHOWED THE WAY. AND THE EMOJI
SHOWED ALL SORTS OF MESSAGES.
BUT THEN WHAT ABOUT THE
"TELL" PART OF THE MYSTERY?
Kyla says I KNOW! MAYBE HERMIONE
MEANT THAT WHEN YOU
SHOW
PICTURES YOU CAN
TELL
A STORY.
E.B. says YEAH. BUT NOT ALWAYS.
LIKE THE REAL MEANING OF THE
BON ECHO DRAWINGS MIGHT ONLY BE
KNOWN TO FIRST NATIONS ELDERS.
Kyla says THAT'S TRUE! AND
EMOJIS HAVE DIFFERENT MEANING
TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. EVEN
STREET SIGNS CAN BE CONFUSING.
E.B. says I THINK WHAT HERMIONE
WAS TRYING TO TELL US IS THAT
A PICTURE CAN TELL A STORY, BUT
IF YOU WANT THE FULL PICTURE,
YOU STILL NEED WORDS.
Kyla says YES! GOOD JOB.
E.B. says YES!
Kyla says COOL.
They high-five.
E.B. says OH, BY THE WAY, I
FIGURED OUT YOUR EMMA MYSTERY.
UH-HUH. IT'S LEETSPEAK.
Kyla says LEE-WHAT?
E.B. says LEETSPEAK. IT'S A CODE
WHERE YOU REPLACE LETTERS
WITH NUMBERS. CHECK IT OUT.
THE 7 LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A "T,"
AND THE 15 LOOKS LIKE "IS."
Kyla says OH! I SEE IT NOW.
E.B. says SO IT'S SAYING, "THIS IS...
They both say ...GREAT.
THANKS, EMMA."
E.B. says YEAH. SHE'S
COMPLIMENTING OUR WEBSITE.
Kyla says COOL!
E.B. says UH-HUH.
Kyla says BUT HOW'D YOU WORK IT OUT?
E.B. says UH, WELL,
I CALLED AND ASKED HER.
Kyla says WHAT?
E.B. says HEY, HEY, SOMETIMES
IT'S BEST TO USE YOUR WORDS.
(KYLA SIGHS.)
YEAH.
Kyla says THAT'S CHEATING.
E.B. says IT'S NOT CHEATING.
IT'S MORE OF, LIKE, A...
A LITTLE, LITTLE HINT.
They post a video and say MYSTERY SOLVED! POSTING
TO
THE MYSTERY FILES
WEBSITE.
Music plays as the end credits roll.

In the basement, E.B. says WHAT A GREAT DAY TO SOLVE A
MYSTERY.
E.B. is in his mid-teens with curly brown hair in an afro and he wears jeans, a yellow T-shirt and an unbuttoned plaid shirt.
He says LET'S SEE, UH... YEAH.
THIS ONE'S CALLING OUT TO ME.
"SHOW AND TELL." NICE.
He opens the file and says WHAT DO YOU THINK, KYLA?
(HUMMING)
ALL RIGHT, KYLA?
YOOHOO, KYLA?
Kyla is checking her phone.
Kyla is in her mid-teens, with long slightly wavy brown hair. She wears jeans and a printed jacket.
Kyla says SORRY, SORRY. WE JUST
GOT A MESSAGE ON OUR WEBSITE
FROM A GIRL NAMED EMMA.
E.B. says WHAT DID SHE SAY?
Kyla says 7H15, GR AND
THE NUMBER 8. THX, MA.
E.B. says I DON'T HAVE A CLUE
ABOUT IT, BUT WE DO HAVE
THREE CLUES FOR OUR MYSTERY,
"SHOW AND TELL."
Kyla says OOH. I LOVE SHOW-AND-TELL.
THIS LOOKS COOL. OKAY, CLASS.
FOR OUR SHOW-AND-TELL TODAY,
I'VE BROUGHT THIS... CROWN.
She grabs a sign with a strange symbol.
E.B. says NO. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY...
A CHANDELIER.
Kyla says AND AS QUEEN OF THIS
CASTLE, I'LL RESEARCH THIS CROWN
AND PROVE YOU WRONG.
E.B. says OKAY. NOW CHECK THIS
OUT. WOAH. WHAT IN... THIS LOOKS
LIKE A MAP. BON ECHO CREEK.
YEAH! I'LL BET THIS IS
FROM BON ECHO PARK. IT'S
A PROVINCIAL PARK NEAR HERE.
Kyla says AND LOOK AT THAT
STRANGE STICK FIGURE. WEIRD.
She grabs a card with a "jazz hands" emoji and says JAZZ HANDS? WHAT DO JAZZ HANDS
HAVE TO DO WITH THE MYSTERY
OF "SHOW AND TELL"?
E.B. says I DON'T KNOW. UNLESS
HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO SHOW US
HOW TO SOLVE MYSTERIES
BROADWAY-STYLE.
HA-HA! TIME TO INVESTIGATE.
Music plays as the opening of the show rolls.
A song goes HISTORY IS FULL OF MYSTERIES
GREAT AUNT HERMIONE
COULD BE HEARD TO SAY
Aunt Hermione stands next to a knight’s armour. She’s in her fifties, with short white hair and wears glasses, beige trousers, a belted white short-sleeved shirt, an explorer’s hat. She carries a cross-body bag.
The song goes YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT CAME BEFORE
TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD TODAY
Clips show images of power lines, an abacus and a computer.
The song continues SHE WAS GOING TO WRITE A BOOK
CALLED "MYSTERY FILES."
TO TELL WHAT SHE UNCOVERED
BUT TIME RAN OUT
NEW ADVENTURES CAME FIRST
SO SHE LEFT HER SECRETS
UNDISCOVERED
She writes down notes on a notebook, holds a globe, travels by jeep, flies an airplane.
The song continues ALL SHE LEFT BEHIND
WAS A HOUSE FULL OF CLUES
BUT E.B. AND KYLA HAVE A PLAN
In the basement, a drawer in a chest opens and random objects come out.
The song continues THEY'RE GONNA SOLVE
EACH MYSTERY FILE
AND FINISH
WHAT HERMIONE BEGAN
THEY'LL SOLVE
E.B. and Kyla appear looking through Hermione’s notes.
The song continues THE MYSTERY FILES
UNRAVEL ALL THE MYSTERIES
THEY'LL SOLVE
THE MYSTERY FILES
UPLOAD HIDDEN HISTORIES
THEY'LL SOLVE
THE MYSTERY FILES
E.B. and Kyla high-five.
The title of the show reads "The Mystery Files."
(music plays)
E.B. says I'M FOLLOWING AUNT HERMIONE'S
MAP THROUGH BON ECHO PARK
TO THIS STRANGE STICK FIGURE
TO SEE WHAT IT'LL UNCOVER ABOUT
THE MYSTERY OF "SHOW AND TELL."
Lisa is in her forties, with short straight light brown hair. She wears a ranger’s uniform.
Lisa says HI. IT'S NICE
TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
E.B. says NICE TO MEET YOU TOO. LISA?
Lisa says YES IT IS.
E.B. says I'M TRYING TO SOLVE A MYSTERY
THAT BEGINS WITH THIS MAP, AND
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNOW WHAT
THIS STICK FIGURE IS MARKING.
Lisa says I CAN SHOW YOU. FOLLOW ME.
They walk to a peer and get on a pontoon boat.
E.B. says OKAY. ALL RIGHT. COOL.
WOW. THAT'S AWESOME.
THAT CLIFF IS HUGE!
Lisa says IT IS. WE HAVE REALLY
GOOD ECHOES, OR ACOUSTIC
PROPERTIES, ON THE CLIFF. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO GIVE IT A TRY?
E.B. shouts ICE CREAM!
(ECHOES)
(LISA LAUGHS.)
E.B. says I JUST HEARD MYSELF SAY,
"ICE CREAM," THREE TIMES.
OH MY GOODNESS.
Lisa says AND PROBABLY A LOT OF
OTHER PEOPLE HEARD YOU AS WELL.
E.B. says YEAH. I MEAN, I'M SURE
THEY DON'T MIND, BECAUSE
EVERYONE LOVES ICE CREAM.
Lisa says THAT'S TRUE.
E.B. says YEAH.
WOW. THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE!
Lisa says IT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
AND IT'S ALSO A SACRED PLACE
FOR FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE.
E.B. says OH, REALLY?
Lisa says UH-HUH.
E.B. says WOW.
Lisa says SO IT'S THOUGHT TO BE
A REALLY POWERFUL PLACE.
E.B. says I BET. IT FEELS POWERFUL
JUST BEING HERE.
Lisa says UH-HUH. AND A PLACE THEN
WITH A LOT OF SPIRITS.
E.B. says HEY! IS THAT ARTWORK?
Lisa says YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
E.B. says WOW. OKAY, I GET IT. SO,
BECAUSE IT'S A SACRED PLACE,
THAT'S MAYBE WHY SOME PEOPLE
WOULD'VE DRAWN SOME STUFF
ON THE ROCK?
Lisa says THAT'S TRUE. AND THIS IS
ALSO PART OF A CANOE ROUTE,
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD'VE
BEEN TRAVELING BY THIS CLIFF.
AND ACTUALLY IF YOU LOOK AT
THAT PICTOGRAPH UNDER THE
TWO ANIMALS, IT'S SAID TO BE
A CANOE WITH PEOPLE OR SPIRITS.
E.B. says IT LOOKS PRETTY OLD.
Lisa says OH... THEY SAY SOME OF
THEM COULD BE ABOUT 300 YEARS
OLD. SOME MIGHT GO ALL THE WAY
TO ABOUT A THOUSAND YEARS OLD.
E.B. says OH MY GOODNESS!
Lisa says SO, E.B., DO YOU SEE THAT
PICTOGRAPH RIGHT OVER THERE?
E.B. says WAIT A MINUTE... YUP.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE PICTURE
FROM GREAT AUNT HERMIONE'S MAP.
WHO IS THAT?
Lisa says IT'S THOUGHT TO BE A
SPIRIT CALLED NANABUSH. NANABUSH
IS A SPIRIT WHO TAUGHT PEOPLE
THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO.
HOW TO HUNT, FISH. ALWAYS TAUGHT
LESSONS. AND SOME PEOPLE SAY
THAT IT CAN TURN ITSELF
INTO ANYTHING IT WANTS TO BE,
INCLUDING A RABBIT.
E.B. says I HAVE TO SHOW KYLA.
(KYLA'S PHONE RINGS.)
Kyla says HI, E.B.
Kyla is painting a sign.
E.B. says KYLA. KYLA. LOOK.
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK. LOOK AT WHAT
THE STICK FIGURE WAS MARKING
ON AUNT HERMIONE'S MAP.
Kyla says UH-HUH.
E.B. says UH-UH! SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU
WITH MY AMAZING DISCOVERY.
Kyla says OH, WOW!
WHAT ARE THOSE DRAWINGS?
E.B. says THEY'RE FIRST
NATIONS PICTOGRAPHS.
Kyla says NO WAY!
E.B. says ARE YOU RESEARCHING
THAT CHANDELIER CLUE?
Kyla says YOU MEAN THE CROWN CLUE?
AND NO I WASN'T, BUT THANKS
FOR REMINDING ME. I'LL GET BACK
TO THAT WHEN I'M DONE WITH THIS.
E.B. says YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH
THAT MESSAGE! WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
MYSTERY TO SOLVE. REMEMBER?
"SHOW AND TELL"?
Kyla says I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
CHECK THIS OUT.
She plays an animated video and says I FOUND OUT THAT PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN USING SIGNS AND MARKINGS
SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF HUMAN HISTORY.
SOME OF THE EARLIEST WERE CAVE
PAINTINGS. MAYBE THEY WERE
A KIND OF SHOW-AND-TELL.
THE OLDEST CAVE PAINTING EVER
COMES FROM INDONESIA.
IT'S AT LEAST 35,400 YEARS OLD.
IT WAS SO OLD THEY HADN'T EVEN
INVENTED REGULAR PAINT AND
BRUSHES YET. ALL OVER THE WORLD,
EARLY HUMANS FINGER-PAINTED
WITH OCHRE, A NATURAL PIGMENT
FROM THE EARTH. THE COLOUR OF IT
RANGES FROM DEEP ORANGE TO RED
TO BROWNISH-YELLOW.
She paints her cheek while painting the sig.
She says OOPS. LUCKY ALL I'M USING
IS WATER-COLOUR.
E.B. says YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK THAT
LOOK ACTUALLY WORKS FOR YOU.
HEY, DO YOU THINK AUNT HERMIONE
WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT CAVE ART
WAS THE FIRST SHOW-AND-TELL?
Kyla says I'M NOT SO SURE. HOW DOES
THAT EXPLAIN THE OTHER CLUES?
E.B. says IT DOESN'T. BUT MAYBE...
THESE PAINTINGS WERE DRAWN
IN OCHRE, WHICH LASTS A REALLY
LONG TIME, AND WAS PUT ON A BUSY
WATERWAY TO SHOW PEOPLE THE WAY.
LIKE A... LIKE A STREET SIGN.
THAT SECOND CLUE COULD BE
A STREET SIGN, SHOWING
PEOPLE THE WAY, TOO.
Kyla says WHAT'S IT SUPPOSED
TO TELL ME? ROYALTY AHEAD?
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says NO, SILLY. IT'S OBVIOUSLY
A SIGN FOR A LIGHT SHOP.
Kyla says THEN HOW DOES
THE EMOJI FIT IN?
E.B. says NOT SURE. BUT I THINK THAT
COULD BE SOME KIND OF A SIGN.
Kyla says I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
E.B. says AND I'LL CHECK
MY THEORY WITH LISA.
Kyla says SEE YA.
E.B. says LISA, CAN YOU TELL ME MORE
ABOUT THESE PICTOGRAPHS? I HAVE
A THEORY THAT THEY WERE MEANT
TO SHOW BOAT TRAVELERS THE WAY.
Lisa says YOU MIGHT THINK THAT,
BUT IN FACT THEY TELL STORIES.
E.B. says OH, OKAY.
Lisa says IT'S THOUGHT THAT THESE ARE
RECORDS OF VISIONS OR DREAMS...
E.B. says OH!
Lisa says ...THAT SOME NATIVE
PEOPLE HAD WHILE THEY WERE HERE.
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS FOR SURE
WHAT EACH PICTOGRAPH MEANT TO
THE ORIGINAL PAINTER. A LOT OF
THINGS WERE NEVER WRITTEN DOWN.
THEY WERE JUST PASSED ON ORALLY.
AND A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION'S
BEEN LOST.
(music plays)
Lisa says SO, E.B., WE SAW SOME
OF THE PICTOGRAPHS...
E.B. says RIGHT.
Lisa says AND LEARNED A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT THE PAINT IS MADE OF.
E.B. says UH-HUH.
Lisa shows him a rock and says SO THIS IS CALLED
HEMATITE. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
WOULD CRUSH IT INTO A POWDER.
E.B. says OKAY.
Lisa says AND THEN THEY MAY HAVE
MIXED IT WITH WATER OR BEAR
GREASE EVEN, OR EVEN FISH OIL...
E.B. says BEAR GREASE?
WHAT'S BEAR GREASE?
Lisa says IT'S JUST GREASE FROM
A BEAR AFTER IT'S BEEN KILLED.
E.B. says OH, OKAY.
Lisa says AND THEY MIX THAT...
E.B. says OKAY.
Lisa says ...OR THE FISH OIL OR
WATER WITH THE CRUSHED HEMATITE
POWDER. AND THAT'S OCHRE.
E.B. says WOW!
E.B. starts painting with the mix.
(E.B.'S PHONE RINGS.)
E.B. says HEY, KYLA. I GOT A LITTLE...
SHOW-AND-TELL
FOR YOU, HUH?
Kyla says THAT'S AWESOME! AND
GUESS WHAT? YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT
CLUE TWO. IT IS A STREET SIGN. I
FOUND THE WORD "MAXIMUM" ON THE
BACK AND FIGURED OUT IT'S FOR
A COMPANY CALLED MAXIMUM SIGNS.
E.B. says COOL. BUT I'M STARTING
TO THINK OUR "SHOW AND TELL."
MYSTERY ISN'T JUST ABOUT
STREET SIGNS SHOWING PEOPLE
THE WAY ANYMORE.
I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING
TO DO WITH CULTURAL STORIES.
Kyla says WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
E.B. says WELL, THE PICTOGRAPHS
TOLD IMPORTANT TALES ABOUT THE
CULTURES OF THE ALGONQUIN AND
OJIBWE PEOPLE THAT PAINTED THEM.
Kyla says SO WHAT DID YOU
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEIR CULTURE?
E.B. says THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
IT. THE STORIES WERE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I THOUGHT
THEY WERE SAYING.
Kyla says WELL, I'M OFF TO MAXIMUM
SIGNS, SO I'LL SEE IF I CAN PUT
YOUR THEORY TO THE TEST THERE.
E.B. says GOOD LUCK. AND I'LL
GET STARTED ON EMOJI RESEARCH.
WHO KNOWS HOW THAT FITS IN.
Kyla records a video and says I'M AT MAXIMUM SIGNS
TO PROVE THAT THIS IS A CROWN,
AND THAT MAKES ME QUEEN MYSTERY
SOLVER. OH, AND ALSO TO FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT THE MYSTERY
OF "SHOW AND TELL."
HELLO?
She enters an office and meets Tyler.
Tyler is in his forties, balding and with a goatee. He wears glasses, jeans and a blue polo shirt.
Tyler says OH. HI, KYLA. I'M TYLER.
Kyla says NICE TO MEET YOU. I WAS
WONDERING IF YOU COULD TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS. PERSONALLY,
I THINK IT'S A CROWN, BUT
E.B. THINKS IT'S A CHANDELIER.
Tyler says HMM... COME WITH ME.
LET ME SHOW YOU.
Tyler takes her to the manufacturing room.
Kyla says WOAH. THIS LOOKS AWESOME.
Tyler shoes her other signs and says SO, KYLA, DO THESE
GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS?
Kyla says WELL, THESE LOOK LIKE
BOATS. THIS LOOKS LIKE WATER.
SO... OH! IT'S NOT A CROWN.
IT'S AN ANCHOR.
Tyler says YES.
Kyla says SO THIS SIGN TELLS
PEOPLE WHERE BOATS CAN ANCHOR.
ARE SIGNS LIKE THIS
THE SAME EVERYWHERE?
Tyler says SIGNS ARE USUALLY
DESIGNED TO BE UNIVERSALLY
UNDERSTOOD. HOWEVER, SOME SIGNS
ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY
FOR A COUNTRY AND-OR CULTURE.
Kyla says HUH. PICTOGRAPHS. JUST
LIKE THE ONES IN BON ECHO PARK.
Tyler says YEAH. PICTOGRAPHS
LIKE THESE QUICKLY COMMUNICATE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO DRIVERS
AS THE CARS GO FLYING BY.
FOR EXAMPLE...
Kyla says DEER CROSSING.
Tyler says CORRECT.
Kyla says BUS STOP?
Tyler says YES.
(KYLA'S PHONE RINGS.)
Kyla says SORRY. HEY, E.B.
E.B. says HEY, KYLA. I WAS WRONG
ABOUT THE EMOJI. SOME PEOPLE
ONLINE ARE SAYING THAT IT'S
THE "HUG FACE." WEIRD.
Kyla says I KNOW. AND I WAS ALSO
WRONG ABOUT THE CROWN SIGN.
E.B. says HAH! I KNEW
IT WAS A CHANDELIER.
Kyla says ACTUALLY, IT'S AN
ANCHOR. AND IT'S PUT IN AREAS
WERE BOATS CAN PARK.
E.B. says HUH. THIS MYSTERY'S FULL
OF MISTAKEN IDENTITIES. I MEAN,
I THOUGHT THE PICTOGRAPHS SAID
ONE THING, BUT THEY ACTUALLY
MEANT ANOTHER. THE CROWN-SLASH-
CHANDELIER TURNED OUT TO BE AN
ANCHOR, AND NOW THE JAZZ HANDS
EMOJI MAY BE A HUG?
Kyla says YEAH. AND IT'S STRANGE
BECAUSE EACH CLUE IS A SIGN
OR SYMBOL THAT SHOULD BE REALLY
CLEAR, BUT OUR FIRST GUESSES
WERE TOTALLY OFF TRACK.
E.B. says YOU'D THINK, RIGHT?
WELL, CHECK THIS OUT. I'VE
FOUND SOMETHING SUPER-FUNNY
THAT I THINK MIGHT HELP.
E.B. plays an animated video where he’s in a car.
He says EVER SEEN A SIGN LIKE THIS?
A sign with a kangaroo on appears.
Kyla says NO.
E.B. says THEY'RE REALLY COMMON
IN AUSTRALIA TO WARN DRIVERS
A KANGAROO MIGHT HOP
IN THEIR PATH.
Kyla says HUH.
E.B. says AND WHAT ABOUT THIS?
Another sign appears with a show with a broken heel.
E.B. says IT'S TO WARN WOMEN IN DENMARK
THE COBBLED STREETS MIGHT
BREAK THEIR SHOES.
Kyla says WOW. THAT WAS TOTALLY
MY NEXT GUESS. YEAH.
E.B. says DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
A sign of a hand coming out of a hole appears.
Kyla says A SIGN OF A ZOMBIE INVASION?
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says WRONG. IT'S A SIGN
FROM FINLAND, WARNING AGAINST
THIN ICE. I KNOW THEY LOOK
WEIRD TO US, RIGHT? BUT
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THOSE
COUNTRIES TOTALLY GET THEM.
Kyla says SO IF WHERE YOU LIVE
IS SO IMPORTANT, THEN HOW COME
YOU DIDN'T GET THE PICTOGRAPHS
AT BON ECHO PARK IF YOU LIVE
ONLY A FEW HOURS AWAY
IN THE SAME COUNTRY?
E.B. says MAYBE BECAUSE I'M NOT PART OF
AN ANCIENT FIRST NATIONS TRIBE.
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
I THINK IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE,
BUT WHEN YOU LIVE.
Kyla says SO ROAD SIGNS WORK
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THE AREA
AND THE MEANING OF THE PICTURE.
THANKS, E.B.
E.B. says COOL. SEE YOU LATER.
Kyla says I WAS WONDERING...
MAYBE, DO YOU THINK I CAN
HELP YOU MAKE A SIGN?
Tyler says YEAH, SURE. COME OVER
WITH ME TO THE LASER CUTTER.
Kyla says YEAH.
I RECOGNIZE THAT SHAPE.
IT'S FOR A STOP SIGN, RIGHT?
Tyler says YES, EXACTLY. CUT THEM.
She watches the sign being cut by the laser and says OH, WOW! I SEE THE LASER.
IT'S CUTTING OCTAGON SHAPES.
SO WHY ARE STOP SIGNS
OCTAGON SHAPED?
Tyler says OCTAGON HAS EIGHT
SIDES, AND IT INDICATES DANGER.
IT'S THE ONLY SIGN
THAT HAS EIGHT SIDES.
Kyla says WHEN IT COMES TO ROAD SIGNS,
SHAPES AND COLOURS ARE SUPER-
IMPORTANT. RECTANGLES ARE FOR
DIRECTIONS, AND THEY'RE USUALLY
GREEN. YELLOW DIAMONDS WARN YOU
TO BE CAREFUL AHEAD. AN ORANGE
SIGN MEANS THERE'S CONSTRUCTION.
AND A RED SIGN MEANS STOP OR
DANGER. SO EVEN WHEN A SIGN
IS TOO FAR WAY TO READ,
A DRIVER CAN STILL TELL
WHAT'S COMING UP BY THE SHAPE
AND COLOUR OF THE SIGN. THAT
GIVES ME AN IDEA FOR A SIGN.
TA-DA!
She shows him a sign with a boy, a girl and a magnifying glass.
Tyler says OH, GOOD JOB.
IS IT A DETECTIVE SIGN?
Kyla says YES, IT'S ME AND E.B.
SOLVING A MYSTERY.
Tyler says WHAT DOES "7H 15" MEAN?
Kyla says THAT'S ANOTHER MYSTERY
I'M TRYING TO SOLVE. SEE?
Tyler says I DON'T KNOW, BUT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MYSTERY.
Kyla says THANKS.
E.B. says I'M ON MY WAY TO MEET
DEBBIE - SHE'S A GRAPHIC ARTIST
AND AN EMOJI EXPERT - TO FIND
OUT MORE ABOUT OUR JAZZY, HUG
EMOJI. WHO KNOWS WHY HERMIONE
PUT IT IN HER MYSTERY FILE
LABELED "SHOW AND TELL"?
Debbie says HI, E.B.
Debbie is in her forties, with long slightly wavy blond hair. She wears glasses, gray trousers and a tie die top.
E.B. says HI, DEBBIE. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Debbie says NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
COME ON IN.
Debbie shows him to her studio.
E.B. says OH... LOOK AT ALL
THIS STUFF. SWEET. EMOJIS.
SINCE YOU'RE A GRAPHIC ARTIST,
I'M GONNA SEND YOU ONE. THINK
YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS?
Debbie says OH, ABSOLUTELY. OF COURSE.
E.B. says AND... SENT.
Debbie gets the image and says RECEIVED. BACK TO YOU.
E.B. says OH. HUG. OKAY.
THAT MAKES... THAT MAKES SENSE.
Debbie says WHAT DID YOU THINK IT MEANT?
E.B. says WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS
LIKE... LIKE JAZZ HANDS.
LIKE, I'M TRYING TO SOLVE
A MYSTERY THAT I THINK IS
ABOUT CULTURE AND SIGNS...
Debbie says WELL YOU PICKED
A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THAT. THAT
PARTICULAR EMOJI MEANS "HUG" IN
JAPANESE, WHICH IS WHERE IT WAS
CREATED. BUT IN THE WEST IT
ACTUALLY MEANS "JAZZ HANDS."
TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH
THAT WASN'T THE ORIGINAL INTENT.
E.B. says I FOUND OUT THAT "EMOJI."
IS A MASH-UP OF THE JAPANESE
WORDS "E," WHICH MEANS
"PICTURE," AND "MOJI," WHICH
MEANS CHARACTER. SO AN "EMOJI."
IS KIND OF LIKE A PICTOGRAPH,
JUST LIKE OUR CAVE ART AND BOAT
SIGN CLUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS
OF EMOJIS THAT PEOPLE CAN USE
ON THEIR PHONES, TABLETS, AND
COMPUTERS. AND EVERY COUNTRY
HAS ITS FAVOURITE EMOJI.
Debbie shows E.B. a board with 8 emojis.
She says MAYBE WE CAN PLAY A GAME
WHERE YOU GUESS WHICH COUNTRY
USES THESE MOST COMMONLY.
E.B. says I DO LOVE GAMES.
WELL, LET'S TRY THIS ONE.
E.B. says OKAY, SO, THE PIZZA...
MAYBE ITALY?
Debbie says WELL...
E.B. says I HEAR THE PIZZA'S
PRETTY NICE THERE.
Debbie says YEAH, IT'S LOGICAL,
BUT IT'S WRONG.
E.B. says AMERICA?
Debbie says YOU GOT IT.
(DEBBIE AND E.B. LAUGH.)
OKAY, AND LET'S...
LET'S TRY THE HEART.
E.B. says OKAY, UM...
I'M THINKING, MAYBE, SPAIN OR...
NO, NO, NO. MAYBE FRANCE,
BECAUSE FRENCH IS
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE.
Debbie says YOU HIT THAT ONE
RIGHT ON THE MARK.
E.B. says WOO! OKAY.
Debbie says OKAY. AND MAYBE
FOR A THIRD ONE? WHAT ABOUT
THIS LITTLE NUMBER HERE?
E.B. says HOW ABOUT AUSTRALIA,
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF
ANIMALS, WHICH MEANS THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF POOP.
Debbie says WELL, NICE TRY, BUT NO.
E.B. says UM...
Debbie says IT'S CANADA.
E.B. says CANADA? NO WAY. HOLD ON.
I GOTTA TELL THIS TO KYLA.
He calls Kyla.
Kyla says HI, E.B.
E.B. says KYLA, GUESS WHAT COUNTRY
USES THIS EMOJI THE MOST?
Kyla says EWW! POOP! DISGUSTING.
E.B. says WE DO.
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says WE... WE USE THE
POOP EMOJI THE MOST!
(STILL LAUGHING)
Kyla says BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S
NOT DISGUSTING? THE MESSAGE
FROM EMMA. I THINK I'M CLOSER
TO FIGURING IT OUT.
E.B. says DON'T YOU REMEMBER WE
HAVE ANOTHER MYSTERY TO SOLVE?
Kyla says I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
I'VE ALSO BEEN DOING
SOME DIGGING ON EMOJIS.
BEFORE EMOJIS, THERE WERE
EMOTICONS. AN EMOTICON IS WHERE
YOU USE LETTERS AND SYMBOLS ON A
KEYBOARD TO MAKE A FACE SO YOU
CAN TELL SOMEONE HOW YOU FEEL.
Kyla appears making different faces with the correspondent emoticons next.
She says LIKE THIS WINKING ONE IF YOU'RE
JUST JOKING AROUND. BACK IN
1982, A COMPUTER SCIENTIST HAD A
GREAT IDEA: FACES COULD HELP US
FIGURE OUT WHAT A JOKE WAS AND
WHAT WAS SERIOUS ONLINE. WE CALL
THEM "EMOTICONS." A MIX OF
THE WORD "EMOTION" AND "ICON."
E.B. says SO THE DIFFERENCE IS
AN EMOTICON DESCRIBES HOW
SOMEONE FEELS, BUT AN EMOJI
CAN
BE
THE MESSAGE.
Kyla says YES! LIKE HOW I'D
SEND YOU THIS... IF I WANTED
TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
E.B. says NICE. OKAY, SO
I UNDERSTAND THE "SHOW" PART
OF THE MYSTERY FILE TAG...
Kyla says ME TOO. ALL OF THE CLUES
HAVE LED US TO SYMBOLS
THAT SHOW THINGS.
E.B. says UH-HUH. BUT WHAT
ABOUT THE "TELL" PART?
Kyla says EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TRYING
TO MAKE COMMUNICATION EASIER,
IT JUST GETS HARDER.
(E.B. SIGHS.)
E.B. says I'M GONNA SEE IF
OUR EMOJI EXPERT CAN HELP.
SO, DEBBIE, DO YOU THINK
EMOJIS MAKE COMMUNICATION
EASIER OR HARDER?
Debbie says I'D PROBABLY SAY BOTH.
FOR A SIMPLE MESSAGE YOU COULD
POSSIBLY JUST USE EMOJIS, BUT
THEY DON'T ALWAYS TELL THE WHOLE
STORY. TYPICALLY AN EMOJI OR AN
EMOTICON IS USED TO EMBELLISH
A TEXT MESSAGE, SO THAT YOU GIVE
MORE MEANING TO YOUR MESSAGE
OR EVEN MORE EMOTION
TO YOUR MESSAGE.
E.B. says OKAY.
Debbie says I HAVE AN IDEA. WHY
DON'T WE PLAY ONE MORE GAME?
E.B. says SURE.
Debbie says SO, E.B., WHY DON'T
I TAKE A TURN FIRST AND MAKE
A MESSAGE AND SEE WHETHER YOU
CAN GUESS WHAT I'M THINKING OF.
Debbie combines 3 emojis: a key, a car and a basketball.
E.B. says MAYBE... YOU LOCKED YOUR
KEYS IN YOUR CAR, SO THEN YOU'RE
LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? FORGET
DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE.
I'M JUST GONNA GO PLAY
BASKETBALL AT THE PARK INSTEAD."
Debbie says INTERESTING. YOU
CERTAINLY GOT SOME OF THE
KEY
THOUGHTS. KEY, PARDON THE PUN.
SO WHAT IF I ADD SOMETHING
EMOTIONAL TO IT...
E.B. says OOH...
Debbie says ...LIKE THAT?
She adds a sad emoji.
E.B. says OKAY. YOU DON'T LIKE
KEYS, SO YOU GOT A CAR THAT
DOESN'T NEED A KEY TO DRIVE.
INSTEAD IT'S A BASKETBALL.
INSTEAD OF THE KEY.
Debbie says WELL, YOU MIGHT HAVE
BEEN CLOSER THE FIRST TIME.
(E.B. LAUGHS.)
E.B. says I THINK SO TOO.
Debbie says SO WHAT I WAS TRYING
TO SAY IS... AND YOU HAD THE
FIRST PART RIGHT. I LOCKED
MY KEYS IN THE CAR WHEN I WENT
TO THE BASKETBALL PRACTICE.
E.B. says OH.
Debbie says BY ADDING THE SAD FACE
I WAS ACTUALLY HOPING TO MAKE IT
CLEARER FOR YOU SO THAT YOU KNEW
I WAS UNHAPPY ABOUT SOMETHING.
SO, E.B., I GUESS WHAT THIS GAME
DEMONSTRATES MORE THAN ANYTHING
IS THAT YOU CAN CERTAINLY
SEND MESSAGES THAT ONLY
CONTAIN EMOJIS...
E.B. says UH-HUH.
Debbie says BUT IT'S KIND OF
DEPENDENT ON WHO YOU ARE,
WHO YOU'RE SENDING IT TO, AND
WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE
TO BE CAN BE COMPLETELY
MISUNDERSTOOD AT THE OTHER END.
E.B. says YEAH.
Debbie says SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY LOTS OF...
MISINTERPRETATIONS CAN HAPPEN
WHEN YOU'RE DOING IT THIS WAY.
E.B. says WELL, YOU KNOW, DEBBIE,
AT FIRST I WAS A BIT...
He holds up a question mark emoji and says A BIT
CONFUSED,
BUT NOW I FINALLY
THINK I KNOW WHAT AUNT HERMIONE
WAS TRYING TO
SAY.
He holds up a man speaking emoji.
(E.B. AND DEBBIE LAUGH.)
He says THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
Debbie says HEY, YOU'RE SO WELCOME.
IT WAS FUN. I'M GLAD TO HELP.
(KYLA'S PHONE RINGS.)
Kyla grabs his phone and says HUH? A FIST AND A DOOR?
E.B. says I WAS SAYING, "KNOCK, KNOCK,"
BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE.
Kyla says BUT WERE YOU OUTSIDE
WITH THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY?
E.B. says I THINK SO.
Kyla says COOL. OKAY, SO I KNOW THE
"SHOW" PART OF OUR MYSTERY IS
WHAT ALL THE CLUES WERE DOING.
E.B. says YUP. THE CAVE ART
SHOWED STORIES. THE STREET SIGN
SHOWED THE WAY. AND THE EMOJI
SHOWED ALL SORTS OF MESSAGES.
BUT THEN WHAT ABOUT THE
"TELL" PART OF THE MYSTERY?
Kyla says I KNOW! MAYBE HERMIONE
MEANT THAT WHEN YOU
SHOW
PICTURES YOU CAN
TELL
A STORY.
E.B. says YEAH. BUT NOT ALWAYS.
LIKE THE REAL MEANING OF THE
BON ECHO DRAWINGS MIGHT ONLY BE
KNOWN TO FIRST NATIONS ELDERS.
Kyla says THAT'S TRUE! AND
EMOJIS HAVE DIFFERENT MEANING
TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. EVEN
STREET SIGNS CAN BE CONFUSING.
E.B. says I THINK WHAT HERMIONE
WAS TRYING TO TELL US IS THAT
A PICTURE CAN TELL A STORY, BUT
IF YOU WANT THE FULL PICTURE,
YOU STILL NEED WORDS.
Kyla says YES! GOOD JOB.
E.B. says YES!
Kyla says COOL.
They high-five.
E.B. says OH, BY THE WAY, I
FIGURED OUT YOUR EMMA MYSTERY.
UH-HUH. IT'S LEETSPEAK.
Kyla says LEE-WHAT?
E.B. says LEETSPEAK. IT'S A CODE
WHERE YOU REPLACE LETTERS
WITH NUMBERS. CHECK IT OUT.
THE 7 LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A "T,"
AND THE 15 LOOKS LIKE "IS."
Kyla says OH! I SEE IT NOW.
E.B. says SO IT'S SAYING, "THIS IS...
They both say ...GREAT.
THANKS, EMMA."
E.B. says YEAH. SHE'S
