03x03 - Fathers and Sons

Post by bunniefuu »

[John B] My mother left when I was three.

[babbles]

[Big John] Hey, John B. Hey, buddy.

[John B] For the whole time growing up...

Uh-oh.

...it was just me and my pops.

[birds singing]

In some ways,
he was the best father you could imagine.


- ...never again.
- [both laugh]

[John B] Taught me how to work
and what to do after work.


[all laugh]

If I get a B, will you let me smoke pot?

More of a friend than a father.

[man] The name of the game is
to b*at John B. You going all in?

[John B] He wasn't overprotective at all.

Guess who's paying rent this month.

Like any family, we had our moments.

- No.
- [Big John] You're not being reasonable.

- [John B] We're not selling the Twinkie.
- Yes, we are.

- No. You are the worst dad ever!
- We'll just sell it now.

I'll buy you a brand-new van
the second I get the Merchant gold.

- [John B] Stop. Don't you...
- Don't get in that van, boy!

- You get in that van, you don't come back!
- Stop it!

- You hear me?
- Move!

You hear me, John B? Don't you come back!

[John B] That was the last time I saw him.

[sad music plays]

It's one thing to lose a father.

It's another thing
to never get to say goodbye.


[bell tolling]

[groans, pants]

Please let it be him. [inhales]

[sighs]

[panting]

[tense music plays]

[bird squawking]

[floor creaking]

[creaking loudly]

[floor creaking]

[door creaking]

[panting]

[floor creaking]

[panting]

[exhales]

[heavy breathing]

[floor creaking]

[John B panting]

[stairs creaking]

[Big John] I love you, Bird,
even if I didn't always act like it.

Bring it on in, John B!

Bring it on home, boy!

I'll see you on the other side.

[dramatic music plays]

Goodbye, Dad.

Dad?

[dramatic music continues]

[breathes shakily]

Is that really you? [sniffles]

What took you so long, Bird?
I've been ringing for hours.

[Big John sniffles]

[John B sniffles, cries]

[John B] I thought
you were dead. [sniffles]

I thought you were dead.

I'm sorry for the Houdini act.
It's a long story, kid.

[Big John pants]

[man] Check the church!

For another time.

[sobs] What?

- We gotta vanish.
- Pops, talk to me.

Come on. Keep your head down. Head down.

- [suspenseful music plays]
- [vehicle engine revving]

sh*t, ain't going that way.

Um, the Pogues, the marina,
they've got a boat. Come on. Follow me.

[Big John] Good boy.
It's good to see you, kid.

Yeah, you too, Pop. Come on, hurry up.

[suspenseful music continues]

[both panting]

I think we're good. That was a close one.

Okay, Dad. Start talking.

So you've been alive this whole time
and didn't think to call?

What, you think I didn't want to?

It k*lled me.
It would've put you in danger.

I was in danger
the entire time you were gone.

Hey, look, we're here now. Okay?

And I'm not going anywhere.
I just had to vanish for my safety.

And for yours. [panting]

Look, it wasn't my first choice.

You got to know that.
Let's go find your friends.

Come on, buddy.

[suspenseful music intensifies, stops]

[JJ] So this is what we're doing, huh?
We're just sailing out.

We're just gonna forget about John B?

We should never have left him.
We're turning back.

No! We're all gonna get caught.
What type of plan is that?

It's a plan to stick together, Cleo.

Then we are dead together.

She's right. We had to leave, or we'd
all be zip-tied in the back of a pickup.

We did the right thing.

[John B] Come on, Dad.
The boat's docked right over here.

- [man yells indistinctly]
- sh*t.

[Big John] They're gone.
Singh must've run them off.

Okay, plan B. We take my boat.
It's back at my place.

- We gotta pick something up there anyway.
- Hang on, I gotta call them.

[phone line ringing]

[phone ringing]

- Who's that?
- It's Portis.

Portis? That's John B.
That's definitely John B. Hold on.

- Yo! Dude! Is this you?
- [John B] Yeah, it's me.

- Speaker. Speaker.
- What... Do you need us to turn around?

- No, don't worry about it.
- Yo, say it again. Say it again.

[John B] I said
don't worry about me, okay?


Look, it's way too hot here.
You gotta get out of here.

Go back to OBX.

- We do not copy. Can you...
- Let me talk to him.

- John B?
- [John B] Sarah... [voice distorts]

- [Sarah] Are you okay?
- Yes. I'm fine. Everything's good. Listen.

He's fine. Thank God. What happened?

[John B, distorted] I found my dad.

- He's alive.
- [Sarah] Wait. What'd you say?

- [distorting] John B?
- Sarah.

- Sarah?
- I... I can't hear you.

- Hello?
- [Sarah] John B?

[John B, distorted] Get out of there.
I'll meet you on Kildare, okay?


Kildare, when?

- Hello?
- [Sarah] Kildare...

- [line cuts off]
- g*dd*mn it.

John B! No, no, no. John B!

- Hope they heard that.
- Me too.

We better go.

Come on, let's go. Let's go.
Come on, boy. To the right. Go, go.

- Kildare. What the hell?
- You guys think he found his father?

- He's been missing for almost a year.
- Sarah, what do you think?

- Should we go back?
- Sarah... We're sitting ducks.

We need to make a decision.

Are we turning back around,
or are we gonna keep going?

Sarah, come on!

- Sarah, we need to make a decision!
- He said go.

- Hold on, listen.
- Go.

- Sarah.
- Go!

[boat engine revving]

This is it right here. Come on.

Here.

Follow me.

- [dog barking]
- [Big John panting]

- [doorknob rattles]
- [door creaks]

Here it is. The spider hole.

It ain't much,
but it ain't a bad place to lay low.

Okay, spider hole, good name.

Still hunting, huh, Pop?

I'm breathing, I'm hunting, man,
what can I say?

This time I'm putting
it all together, John B.

Getting close, I can feel it.
Onto something big.

I, uh... I heard you d*ed
at the Shoals, Dad?

Yeah, well, somebody d*ed out there.
It wasn't me.

Look. Just gotta go
on a little retrieval mission.

- Then we can split.
- Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dad, Dad, wait.

Retrieval mission? A g*n? What...
No! What are we doing?

The game is afoot. Okay, kid? Right now.

And this time it's for the mother lode,
the big kahuna, all the marbles.

- All right?
- Right.

Okay. Come here.
It is good to see you. It is.

But if we don't move out, like, now,
the game is gonna end early. All right?

It ain't just Singh that's after us.

I got mixed up with Limbrey
and a whole lot of things.

Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Dad.

- Did you just say Limbrey?
- [grunts, clears throat]

- Like Carla Limbrey?
- Yeah. How do you think we got a boat?

Come on, man.

- [splutters]
- No, no, no.

She... she helped me out a little bit.

It's logistics, etcetera,

but now that I found you,
I'm gonna owe her something.

Better to pay later than now.

I can explain it all. Focus. We gotta go.

We gotta go!

sh*t all over the place.

That a boy! This way!

["Gringo Che" by The Nude Party plays]

[boat engine starts]

Well-done, boy! [laughs]

[John B cheers]

["Gringo Che" by The Nude Party ends]

[inhales, exhales]

Oh, honey.

[heart monitor beeping]

Hi.

Are you okay?

Of course, I'm okay.

Come here. [grunts]

[sniffs, takes a deep breath]

Where are we?

We're in Guadeloupe.

We're safe.

[Ward inhales, grunts]

Where's Rafe?

[birds chirping]

[woman laughs]

[siren wailing]

- Hey, man.
- Huh?

Sorry. Sorry to bother you.

- Um...
- What's up?

I have the perfect...
I have the perfect gift for your wife.

- It's like a great price too.
- [man] Yeah?

So this, all through here,
is where all the tourists shop,

but the real deal is right back here.

It's a great local spot.

- I don't know.
- Just trying to help you out.

- Just real quick. You wanna?
- Okay.

Yeah, yeah.
It's got, like, some of the best,

like, custom jewelry on the island.

- It's incredible.
- Sounds good.

Uh, just right back here.

- [man] Through here?
- Yeah.

[tense music plays]

[exhales]

[exhales]

[motorcycle honking]

[woman shouting indistinctly]

- [exhales]
- [motorcycle honking]

[ship horn blows]

All right. Come on, folks,
all aboard to Guadeloupe.

- How you doing, boss?
- Good. How are you?

Living the dream.

You got some sun
since you took this photo, man.

- There you go, Mr. Tompkins.
- Appreciate it.

- Enjoy Guadeloupe.
- [ship horn blowing]

So you sure you didn't tell him
where the diary is?

I told him I'd seen it,
but I didn't tell him where.

Why does Singh want it so much?

Singh said that he thinks
the diary has a clue

to the location of some city of gold.

Like the gold on the Merchant
was just a small part of it.

Okay, so the diary we have
leads to a -year-old treasure

that no one's ever found?

Pretty much.

I'm in. It's kind of like my best option
at this point, so...

- Definitely beats geometry class.
- Yeah, beats boarding school.

I mean, I don't even know what'll happen
when we get back to the OBX.

Nothing good. I can tell you that.

Nothing good.

sh*t is going to suck for like a year.

At least you don't got
a restitution, though. No job.

No parents. Yeah, arrows
are going to be coming in hot.

But you know what we do
when arrows come flying?

Bing. Ding, ding, ding! Ding!

- Uh, quick!
- And you sh**t right back at them.

And that spear comes at you,
you plant, grab,

disarm, straight into the jugular,
finish them off like... [yelps]

Just one by one.

We'll defeat them all.

You know, whatever happens,

we're gonna handle it together.

Like we always do.

Kie.

[Pope] Hey.

[sighs]

Just wanted to let you guys know
that we should probably stop for gas.

Pope, I, uh... Yeah. Uh...

- Yeah.
- [JJ] Pope. Hey, Pope.

[inhales, exhales]

sh*t. [sighs]

[inhales]

I'll talk to him.

- [sad music plays]
- [wind howling]

- [tense music plays]
- [seagulls squawking]

[John B] So what's the plan, Pop?

[Big John] Just like I said, Bird,

just a little pit stop to get that thing
I was telling you about.

Then goodbye, Bridgetown.

Come on, partner. Back me up.

All right. Let's make this quick.

What do we have here?
God of Fire and w*r? [chuckles]

Significant piece.

[tense music intensifies]

Sorry. I have an appointment.
Maybe another time.

- Dad, what are we doing?
- Just got to pick something up.

Only take a minute.

RJ.

[RJ] John.

- Please come.
- [Big John] Long time.

Okay.

[Big John sighs]

So, what are you doing here, John?
What do you want?

- [g*n cocks]
- [Big John clears throat]

Sorry for the strong arm, RJ,
but we're pressed for time.

I can't get bogged down
in a protracted negotiation.

Really? You pull a g*n on me? [exhales]

Your partner, who saved your life?

[Big John] If you knew what happened,
you wouldn't hold it against me.

And I knew you'd buck at the finish line.
Just give me the piece.

- Armed robbery?
- [Big John] It's not robbery.

The piece is mine. Ain't that right, RJ?

[safe unlocks, opens]

I think an impartial judge
would say the ownership is debatable.

- Oh great.
- [RJ] Mmm.

As you can see,
I kept my part of the bargain, partner.

Here it is safe and sound.
Just like I promised.

I've missed seeing you.

[Big John panting]

Here, kid. Take a look at this.

The Signpost of Orinoco.

Signpost of what?

This way lies the treasure,
that sort of thing.

At least we think that's what it says.
Next stop, El Dorado.

Yeah, if you can find the other half...
and if you can decipher it, maybe.

And I'm going to want my cut.

Don't think I won't come after you
if I don't get it.

If this thing works out,

you'll never have to sell
a knockoff God of Fire and w*r again.

[man] Arjun! You here?

[Arjun] Wait.

Don't move.

[tense music plays]

Mr. Singh!

- sh*t.
- [Arjun] What a surprise!

How can I help you?

[Singh] It's always a pleasure
to come into your shop, Arjun.

You have such fine pieces, you know?

I would love to show you around,
but unfortunately, we're closed.

Oh, come on now, Arjun.

Just a quick look around
for your best customer, now.

- Of course.
- [Singh exhales]

- You need to talk to me right now.
- John B, we gotta get out of here now.

- Here, here, take this.
- [grunts]

Take this over to that window. Go, go!

[Arjun] We have some fine new pieces.

- I see that.
- [Arjun] Mm-hmm.

[Singh] Mm-hmm.

- [whispers] Easy, easy, easy.
- [John B] I'm trying, I'm trying!

[John B grunts]

sh*t! It's stuck!

[Singh] I've always said
you have a good eye, Arjun.

And I know
when someone else has a good eye

because I have a good eye too.

- It takes one to know one, you know.
- Mm.

Shh!

[grunting]

[Singh] I know
the young man John B Routledge

was seen with an older man

close to here,

and I thought to myself,
you know, I thought,

"Why would those two risk
coming so close to downtown?"

A place with so many eyes.

- All right, coast is clear.
- All right, we gotta go.

[panting, grunting]

[groans]

And then I realize, you know, I realize

that they were very close to your shop,

and I thought to myself,
I thought, you know...

[scoffs]

..."They have to come
and see my old friend Arjun,

who has such a good eye
for fine pieces," huh?

- I've not seen them. I don't know.
- [chuckles]

You know, I can always tell

when people are lying to me, you know?

Shh. Come on.

- [Big John grunting]
- I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha!

[grunts] Help me out.
Help out your old man. Help me. Come on.

Shh! Shh! Dad! Hey!

- Where's the piece?
- I thought you had it.

No!

- No, no, no. Just... Damn it. Hurry up.
- [grunting]

[Singh grunts]

- You seen them? Are you hiding them?
- [groans]

- [Arjun yelps]
- Arjun? Huh?

- [wincing]
- Stand up. Stand up.

[Big John grunting]

[Arjun] I swear,
I don't know where they are.

[panting]

[tense music crescendos]

[loud thud]

Go now.

- Hey.
- I...

[grunting]

[suspenseful music plays]

[glass breaks]

They went through the alley.

- Come on. We gotta go.
- [g*n f*ring]

- [John B] Oh sh*t!
- [Big John] Oh sh*t!

Gotta run! Let's go!

Go! Go! Come on!

[man shouts indistinctly]

[both panting]

[John B shouts indistinctly]

[man] They went there!

[Big John panting]

Run, run! Go!

[both panting]

Get on the boat!

Yeah, yeah! Get us off, get us off!

[boat engine starts, revs]

[Big John laughs]

[tires screeching]

You got it, John B! [kisses]

Let's vámonos!

Get the boats.

Let them go.

- We could be in a boat in minutes.
- And chase them into the night?

In the dark and open water, hmm?

And risk going into Saint Lucia
or Martinique? We can't do that.

No, why bother?

You know, 'cause I know where they live.

And I have friends everywhere, you know?

["Abandoned Mansion" by Dr. Dog plays]

Almost to port, bro. Want to fill her up?

Need to get some food too.

Hey Pope. Pope, look, man.

[JJ exhales]

Look, I know you think
you saw something up here.

Or maybe you did see something.

I don't know, but straight up,
nothing actually happened.

You ain't gotta lie to me.

I'm not lying to you, Pope. Okay.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.

We're Pogues. We do not lie to each other.

It doesn't matter.

Pope, I don't want things
to be weird between us, okay?

Well, things aren't weird.

- They aren't weird now?
- No, things aren't weird.

Well, then who's lying right now?

- If you're asking me if I like it?
- Yeah.

No, it's not my favorite thing ever,

but I'm not gonna stop you.

- [JJ exhales]
- It's your choice.

You do what you want.

- That's a good one.
- [Big John chuckles]

[laughs] Yeah, see,
that'll put hair on your chest there.

So, what's the deal
with this whole big kahuna thing?

- Mmm.
- I mean, how did you end up on Barbados?

[Big John] Well, same way you did
and for the same reason too.

The treasure.

And Carlos Singh.

[both chuckle]

Yeah, I was marooned out on the Shoals
for what felt like months,

living on seaweed and sweat and rainwater,

and fixed myself up to be crab food.

Thought I was a goner.

[tense music plays]

Singh must have tracked my boat,
then his men showed up.


He must have known I was onto something
because they found me.


At first, I thought I was being rescued.

Turns out it was less of a rescue mission,
more of a captivity-type deal. Yeah.

[man grunts]

- [man ] Hey! Hey, hands up.
- [man grunts]

Drop the damn rock!

- [Big John] I didn't go without a fight.
- [loud thud]

We left one of his men behind,
as I'm sure you've heard.


Next thing I know,
I'm being shipped off to Barbados.

Singh's place.

- [door rattling]
- Hey!

They locked me up
in some audacious estate surrounded


by cane fields and armed guards.

I meet this particular little man, Singh.

He wants to cut a deal with me.

He wants me to tell him everything I know

in exchange for him keeping me alive.

But it didn't take long
before I caught on to the game.

[Singh grunts]

[Big John] So as soon as I got a chance,
I took it.


Got a little roughed up along the way,
but I made it out.


And not empty-handed.

And here I am,

back with my boy. [chuckles]

[Cleo] Let's go find a corner shop.
Gotta be one nearby.

["Destroy the Empire" by Pachyman plays]

All right.
Time to gain some provisions, yeah?

So you're just gonna walk in there
and shoplift?

So what? No snappy comeback?

Come on.

Come on, Gray Pipe.

Okay? Go do your thing.

Okay.

You're rushing in, and you're telling me
it's all my fault, blah, blah, blah.

- This mango was just picked, man.
- You know that got the blight on it.

I've been picking mangoes since I was
a youth, and you know that'll k*ll my man.

You eat this mango, it eat you.

Hey, you! Come back here!
Little thieving rat!

You know, I don't know what's worse.
The sick hamster or that accent.

You cannot be serious.

Yeah, you! Thieving rat!

[Big John] Enough about me.
I want to hear about you.

Who are you sweet on these days, huh?

I know there must be someone.

Yeah. Yeah. There's, uh... there's been
some developments on that front.

I'm married, Dad.

[splutters, chuckles]
You're joking, right?

[John B] No.

- What, is she pregnant?
- No, no. God, no. No.

Yeah, I haven't really had time
for the extracurricular activities.

You're a little young, ain't ya?

I mean, you said it best.
If it's right, it's right.

[Big John sighs]

Do I know her? Uh, who is she?

[clears throat] Yeah.
Yeah, you know her. Um...

It's Sarah

Cameron. [clears throat]

[sniffles]

Ward's daughter?

The queen of Kildare.

Yeah.

You just can't do things the easy way,
can you?

Are you mad?

["Sunday Morning" by Amanaz playing]

That you went for the big prize?

[chuckles] Nah.

How could I be mad about that?

[chuckles]

[Big John chuckles]

Congratulations.

[winces]

[sighs] Okay.

Jackpot.

Why your wybe so sorry, bey?

Is it what happened
between you and JJ earlier, right?

No.

Come on. No need to tell a fib.
We all see what's happening here.

When we were coming into port,

I went up to let JJ and Kiara know
we were pulling in,

and I saw them

about to...

And you two were together before, right?

For like a night.

Then Kiara gave you the boot. [laughs]

Sorry.

Just how I heard it. So what?
Same thing happened to me.

There was this bad man back on my island.

Taught me how to survive on a street.

Best thief I ever seen.
I mean, a true master.

I fell for him.

Turns out he was stealing from me too,
and I felt like an idiot.

Love. Better to let it go.

Shut that sh*t down, Pipe.

Cold turkey.

That works for you?

I mean, do you see me
with my face all long,

thinking about someone
who's not thinking about me?

You and me have the same problem.

Tried love once, and it didn't work out.

We should start a club.

[chuckles] Call it the No Love Club.

- [chuckles] What?
- The No Love Club.

- That's so corny.
- Oh, come on, think about it.

Cold turkey
from all obsessive thoughts, huh?

It's gonna be hard.
I have a lot of obsessive thoughts.

Well, feelings pass like the tide.

I'm down.

I'm down. Let's do it. No Love Club.

[chucking] All right!

Well, I guess we got to come
up with a handshake, right?

- A handshake?
- [Cleo] I'll show you.

Uh, uh.

- Love.
- Yeah.

- No chance.
- No chance.

Then you gotta rock away with it.

- Rock away.
- I'll teach you some rhythm.

- Okay, I like it.
- There you go. There you go.

You got some rhythm.
There's hope for you after all.

- I like it.

[Big John] Hey, Birdy Boy.

See, most people think
the Golden City is here

up above the Orinoco Basin.

That Spanish ship,
the one with the cross and the gold.

Yeah. The San Jose.

They were rumored to have found El Dorado.
That's where all the gold came from.

And this stone piece is supposedly

what led them to El Dorado.

[suspenseful music plays]

Now the captain of the San Jose

wanted to be the only one
who knew how to get there,

so he dug this up out of the jungle,
kept it with him.

At least that's the story.

So the idea is,
if you can translate this stone piece,

then boom, it tells you how to get there.

- Um, that little stone piece is broken.
- [groans]

Singh thinks that the diary holds a clue
to the missing piece.

I think he's probably right.

- Yep.
- Only one way to find out.

This is the big one, kid.

I've been obsessed with this
since I was your age,

going out into the blank spaces,

hunting for treasure,

and finding it.

[chuckles]

But as I got older, I began to think
that all those spaces had been filled in,

that there was nothing left to discover.

Till I got on this.

I've been dreaming
about this my whole life.

We find that diary, boy,

we decipher those scribblings...

we're on our way to El Dorado.

- [water splashing]
- Oh.

[chuckles] Whoa. Look at that.

[John B] Whoa!

[Big John] Look at that beauty!
Thar she blows!

[Big John laughs]

Holy sh*t.

- That's amazing.
- [whale singing]

Sure is! It's a sign, Bird. [chuckles]

Wow.

We're gonna find it... together.

Together.

[blowhole exhaling]

[Rafe] Listen, I understand the risks
involved with selling the cross, okay?

I saw an opportunity,
and I took it. That's it.

You know,
and I thought that you would wake up,

and I would tell you
that it was taken care of.

And I don't know,
maybe you'd be proud of me or something,

because I'm the one who brought it home.

- I did it.
- Jesus, Rafe.

- Now I feel like an idiot.
- [Ward] Rafe, stop it!

- No, I am.
- You're not an idiot. Are you...

- I feel like an idiot, and...
- I went down, and you stepped up.

I'm just glad you're okay, you understand?

- Hey!
- [exhales] Yeah.

It's your first big deal, all right?
I remember mine. It didn't go well either.

I could have told you, it's Barbados.
Carlos Singh does what he wants there.

- It's okay.
- [sniffles] Yeah.

There's something I need you
to do for me right now, okay?

Name it.

I need you to go back to the Outer Banks.

Kildare.

Why?

There's nothing there for us, not anymore.

I need you to wrap everything up
for me, all right?

I need you to sell the businesses,
sell the rental properties.

I need you to sell Tannyhill.

[splutters] Wait, we're selling Tannyhill?
Is that what you said?

Yeah.

[splutters] Why?
What are you talking about?

It's not our home anymore.

This is.

This is our home now.

And it's a clean slate.

It's a new beginning, a new path.

And I need you
to take a bigger role, all right?

Can I count on you for that?

- Yeah?
- Of course, yes. Of course, Dad.

Yeah, all right, good.

Listen, I got some papers inside.

I'm gonna bring them.
We're gonna go over them.

Tell you what to do,
and while you're gone,

I am going to be taking that cross
and looking into it.

We have that cross because of you.
You got it for us, and you saved it.

I just need you to be careful.

You get in there, handle this business,
and you get back here safely. All right?

- You're a Cameron.
- [patting]

That still means something.

[tense music plays]

- [mellow music plays]
- [boat engine revving]

[Big John] I gotta admit.

It's good to be back.

[birds hoots]

[chuckles]

[laughs, cheers]

[laughs] Would you look at this place!

Oh, wow! You know, I never thought
I'd miss this place so much!

- [cheers]
- [bird hooting]

[Big John laughs]

- [bell tolling]
- [bird squawking]

Bring it on in, son.

Bring it on home.

I sure have missed this place.

Yeah, me too.

[birds chirping]

Huh.

Check it out.

Got my own headstone.

Would you ever give me one of those?

Never.

Welcome home, Pop.

- Thanks, kid.
- Come on.

Stand out here and get bit
by mosquitoes this whole damn time,

or you wanna go inside?

I missed the mosquitoes,
believe it or not.

[chuckles]

[Big John grunts, laughs]

I don't know why in the hell
you wouldn't wanna sleep

on the porch couch
when it's so much cooler in here.

[both chuckle]

Yeah. It's hot tonight.

Yeah, especially with no electricity.
You didn't think to pay the bill?

You know, I was stranded
on a deserted island

a little longer than I thought.

Yeah, I guess that is an excuse.

[Big John exhales]

[insects chirping]

Hey, John B, you... you know
where that... that diary is, right?

Well, we have a copy.

And it's in the Twinkie,

which is probably
in the impound lot with the police.

Gotta figure that one out.

Yeah.

[bird hooting]

Hey, Pop?

Yeah, kid?

Remember the last time we were together?

- We had that argument?
- Yeah.

[inhales]

Yeah, real knock-down-drag-out.

[John B] Yeah.

I shouldn't have said that.

You're not the worst father ever.

[scoffs] No sh*t, Sherlock.

Love you, Pop.

I love you, Bird.

[Big John chuckles]

Enough of this sappy sh*t.
Let's go to bed.

Sleep soundly.

[John B blows]

- [indistinct shouting]
- [panting]

Dad?

[objects crashing]

[bird hooting]

- [clears throat]
- [indistinct shouting continues]

Dad?

[exhales]

[pants]

[indistinct shouting continues]

- [door creaking]
- [water splashing]

[suspenseful music plays]

[indistinct shouting continues]

[Big John] Calm down, now!

- Calm down, we can talk about this!
- [Singh] Tell me where El Dorado is, John!

I know you know!

- Hey!
- [Big John] John B!

[grunting]

This is not the end, John!
I'll see you in hell!

[Big John coughs]

This is your fault. You did this.

[chokes, pants]

[gasps, pants]

Hey.

Hi.

[panting]

Sarah?

- Hi.
- It's you. You're here.

Yeah.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

[Sarah chuckling] Hi. Hi.

It's okay. Hi. Hi.

You're home. You're safe.

We made it back.

- I missed you. Oh my God.
- I'm here. I know.

I'm so sorry we left.

- I am so sorry.
- [John B panting]

[sighs]

They just dropped me off.
I didn't even know if you'd be here.

We literally couldn't hear
anything on the phone.

What? You couldn't hear anything?

No, just that we should come back
to OBX, but that's it.

So, you don't know.

- Know what?
- Sarah.

He's alive.

- [bird hooting]
- My dad's alive.

And... and he's here right now. Look.

[tense music plays]

No, he was just right there.

Sarah, I swear to God,
he was. He was here.

- Dad!
- John B.

No, no, Sarah. Hey.
Look, I... I promise he's here.

Give me one second. Dad!

- Hey, um...
- No, no, hold on. I promise you. Hold on.

Dad! Hey, Dad!

Dad!
