[waves crashing]

[John B] From the very beginning,

it was always Kooks

and Pogues.

[tense music plays]

Some people with everything.

And some with nothing.

That's the way it's always been.

And that's how they wanna keep it.

[crowd shouting indistinctly]

[grunting]

[Pope grunts]

[grunting]

[tense music ends]

[gentle music plays]

[John B] Some people make the best of it.

And some people fight against it.

[Big John] This is my work.
This is my life!

[Ward] It was my money!

I knew you'd do this.
You've always been greedy, Ward.

Don't you... No! No!

[John B] The Merchant gold
was a part of that.


For my father and me,
the treasure was our way out.


- [Big John] Dear Bird...
- [John B] How we evened the scales.

How the Pogues win.

[Pogues] Full Kook, full Kook, full Kook!

[John B] But at some point...

you kind of have to wonder...

No! No! [grunts]

No!

[grunts]

[John B] ...was the treasure an escape?

[both grunt]

Or was it a trap?

Ever.

[chuckles]

I mean, look around.
We got everything we need.

Right here.

[seagulls squawking]

Just like we talked about.

Exactly.

How's yours looking?
You ready to provide for the family?

Yeah.

- Let's go k*ll something.
- You don't have to say it like that.

Yeah. That's exactly what we're gonna do.

[Kie] It sounds so barbaric, like...

[JJ] Well, that's the circle of life, Kie.
Unless you want to eat coconuts forever.

[Kie laughs] After the past month,
I think I'm good on coconuts.

♪ The meditation of our heart... ♪

So you're telling me
you had your own house, your own room,

and they was gonna give you money
to read books?

[birds chirping]

Well, it was a scholarship.

And I don't know if I'd have gotten it.
It's whatever now.

So you just throw it away
to chase treasure

with your dropout friends?

It wasn't just about the treasure.

That cross belongs to my family.

It's important to me.
And I still haven't lost it.

Better off keeping what you got

than searching for something
you ain't gonna find.

Did daddy ever teach you nothing?

[chuckles] Sunken treasure.

You had the real treasure in your hand,
and you just let it go.

Okay, well, what about you, huh?

You had a job on a boat,
a life, I'm sure, before all of this.

You gave it all up to scrounge
for berries in the jungle.

Just saying.

[chuckles] Well,
what I had wasn't better than this.

[birds chirping]

You can't say the same, now, can you?

[birds squawking]

- [JJ] You ready?
- [Kie] Yeah.

All right. Today's the day.

All right, remember, watch your shadow.
They see that, they're gone.

- [Kie] All right.
- All right, here we go.

Just like we practiced, all right?

["Gypsy Queen" by Gabor Szabo plays]

All right.

Hey. Hey, Kie.
Kie, Kie, Kie. Kie, it's a skate.

It's a skate right there. You see him?

- All right. It's all me.
- He sees me! He's coming over by you.

- He's coming towards you.
- Yeah, it's me.

- This is it. This is the time.
- I can't. I really can't.

[JJ splutters, grunts]

Dang it. I missed it. Where is it?

- I missed it.
- [grunting]

[laughs]

- Oh my God.
- You did it! We're having skate tonight.

[laughs] Oh sh*t.

Full Pogue!

[both cheer]

- Yes!
- That's food in our bellies right there.

["Gypsy Queen" by Gabor Szabo continues]

John B?

[John B] Yeah?

- What's up?
- Do you see that?

- See what?
- That boat.

- Boat, where?
- Right there!

Eleven o'clock.

Just under the horizon.

[tense music plays]

I think it's
just the whitecaps on the reef.

You don't know that.
It's right there. I see it.

- Sarah, Sarah, hey, hey.
- What if it's...

No, it's... it's... it's not your dad.

It's not your brother. Okay?

I promise.

[Sarah] No, I'm sure.

Trust me.

It's okay. [kisses]

- [Pope] Wow.
- [Sarah] John B, your turn. Truth or dare?

- All right, all right. Truth.
- [Sarah] Truth?

- [John B] Truth!
- [Cleo] This is exciting.

If you could do it all again...

what would you do different?

Uh, get the gold out before Ward did.

Maybe hide the cross a little better.

Not yell "m*rder*r" at Ward, maybe.

Uh, steal a couple bottles of rum
before we jumped off the boat?

Yeah, why didn't you do that, actually?

[John B] Maybe 'cause I was
in a fight to the death?

I would look both ways
before crossing the street.

[Kie and Sarah laugh]

Yeah, my bad. My bad.

- Your turn, chief.
- All right, Kie, truth or dare?

["Reasons (feat. Bobby Oroza)"
by El Michels Affair plays]

[Sarah giggles]

Truth.

[John B] All right.
Um, if you could go home

to your parents' house
on Figure Eight this instant...

[Sarah] Mmm.

[John B] ...would you do it?

No chance.

Seconded.

- [John B] No chance.
- Hear! Hear!

To no chance!

- [Kie] The shower's tempting though.
- Ooh, I could use a fat shower right now.

JJ, truth or dare?

I mean, do you even need to ask?

[Kie] Big jump. Nobody's done it yet.

Dare.

- [John B] There he is.
- [Pope] There he goes.

[all cheering]

- [Pope] Send it!
- [Cleo] He's not gonna do it!

He's not gonna do it!

Oh, I won't, huh?

- No way.
- [Pope] He's gonna do it.

It's highly dangerous, uh, zero reward?
Yeah, he's doing it.

Plane.

Guys. Guys, guys, wake up.
There's a plane. [pants]

[exhales, pants]

[panting]

Oh. [gasps]

[Cleo] Guys, wake the hell up.

[JJ] Oh sh*t. Johnny, wake up. Get up.

[John B] Sarah? Wake up.

There's a plane.

Hey! Hey, we're over here!

- [Pope] Come on. Please.
- [Cleo screams] Hey!

- [Pope pants]
- [Cleo] No.

No, no.

[Pope panting]

Please. [pants]

Look. He's turning around!

He sees us.

Guys, guys, he sees us.

He's gonna go to the pond.
Come on, come on. Come on!

- They see us!
- Yes!

[laughs]

We did it!

[Pope cheers]

[dramatic music plays]

[plane engine sputtering off]

[seagulls squawking]

[JJ] Come on.

- [Pope] Whoo!
- [John B] Hey!

[Pope laughs]

- [Cleo] We did it!
- [Pope] Oh man.

- [John B] Hello, hello.
- Hey there.

- [Cleo screams] Yeah!
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Hey! We're getting out of here.
We're finally getting out of here.

Well, what do we got here?

Uh...

You know, just some castaways.

Well, I'll cross that off
the grocery list.

Uh, hang on.

I got just the thing for y'all.

- Just one second.
- Hey, no. Look at this guy!

- Two things you need on a deserted island.
- You think he works for your dad?

- It's okay.
- [man] First aid and rum!

Incoming!

- [Cleo grunts]
- [man] Hey, here you go. [sighs]

So what's the story? You guys sank a boat?

[hesitates] Jumped off one.

Her dad's.

In-laws, man.

They're tough.

Well, have no fear.

Jimmy's here.

- I got you.
- Well, all hail Jimmy, guys! Let's go.

[man] Welcome aboard the Flying Fish.

I'm Jimmy Portis.
I'll be your captain today.

- Is this all? Six of you?
- Uh, yeah. That too heavy?

Nah.

Uh, technically maybe, but I think
old Fish here'll probably be okay.

We could always throw
somebody overboard, right?

- [laughs]
- Yeah...

[Cleo] See you, island!

- [Pope] You're the dog, man.
- [Portis] Pleasure to have you.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, it's okay.

- I got it.
- [Portis] Okay.

[" Minutes in Brussels" by Luna plays]

Bye, island paradise.

Yeah, just tuck on in.
Let's, uh, get this sh*t going.

[plane engine starts]

[JJ] So what were you doing
all the way out here?

I got a little guide outfit
in Saint Vincent.

I was spotting fish.

What were you spotting?

You know, the usual.

Wahoo.

[tense music plays]

I'd hang on to something.
Gets a little spicy on takeoff.

[Rafe] Doc said you're doing good
and getting better.

Don't worry, in the meantime,
I'm already taking care of business.

I've almost got the new papers ready,
you know?

Passports, bank accounts.

I got this.

Okay? Just like you taught me.

I got it all planned out. All right, I do.

Not Rose. She doesn't know
what the hell she's doing. [chuckles]

Listen, the gold's in the vault.

Just like you left it,
and I'm dealing with the cross.

Okay?

You'll see for yourself when you wake up.

This is tower operator on the mainland.

[continues speaking indistinctly]

Wahoo don't run in September.

Ever. All right?

So whoever this man is,
he's not a fisherman.

[tense music plays]

Maybe the run
just starts earlier out here.

Are you sure about that? In the Caribbean?

[man over radio]
...we'll have you heading south.

No, I know what this is.

He's working for my dad,

and he's probably been looking
for us the entire time.

All right, we gotta find out.

[inhales, exhales]

Start looking for some sort of... clues.

[tense music continues]

- [John B] Hey, Jimmy. [clears throat]
- Yeah. What's up?

- How long you had this bird?
- [Portis] Oh, about ten years now.

- [John B] How long you been flying?
- [Portis] I've been flying all my life.

Uh, who's that lovely lady right there?

[laughs] That right there?
That's Cynthia. Yeah.

- [John B] Cynthia?
- [Portis] Yeah...

And what about
that beautiful girl right there?

[Portis] Huh?

Oh, that? That's Stacey.

[John B chuckles] Oh! Oh, your sister?

[Portis laughs] No, no.

No, she's just this girl I met
in Saint Lucia. You ever been there?

- [Sarah] The Coastal Venture. Oh my God.
- [Portis] Huge marlin. You gotta go.

This is the boat we were on.
With Eberhimi and the cross.

- So he was looking for us?
- [JJ] Exactly.

He's working for my dad.

[metal clanks]

[Portis] Hey, y'all better hold something.
We got some unexpected turbulence up here.

Guys, whatever it is,
it's happening fast. Look.

[Cleo] That looks like Barbados.
I've been there with Terrance.

[JJ] Okay,

there's six of us, one of him.

- You know my vote. We storm the cockpit.
- No, who's gonna fly the plane, dumbass?

- I've seen Pope fly simulators.
- I crop-dusted for my uncle last summer.

This is not the same thing.

We don't have time to pretend
that's a real option.

- Do you have an idea?
- Something safe.

Why don't we just wait
until the plane lands somewhere safe,

and then we sneak out.

And if somebody comes to mess with us,
we mad-dog them.

- [Kie] Okay.
- [Cleo] Okay.

- I like the mad-dogging part.
- Just put that back.

Put it back. Be cool.

Hey, Jimmy. Is that Burning Man?
Right there?

[Portis] Yeah! That's Burning Man,
all right. That was my first time.

- How many times you been to Burning Man?
- [Portis] I started going when I was .

- GT's, baby! GT's!
- [John B] Yeah, I've heard a lot about it.

- I've never been west.
- Hey, man! What the hell are you doing?

[all clamoring]

[Portis] That's mine!

Who are you really?

Fly the plane!

[Portis] It's my book. Give it back.

Please fly the plane.
Please fly the plane.

- [controls beeping]
- Come on. Come on, Fish. Come on, Fish.

We gotta get out of here.

[JJ grunts]

- Kie, let's go.
- I'm coming. Go!

Kie, get out before it sinks!

- Come on. Go!
- [Pope] They're headed this way.

- [JJ] Hurry.
- Hang on!

[John B] No, no, no, Kie! Come on!

- Come over here. Get to the pier.
- [Sarah] Kiara, come on. You gotta hurry.

Now go!

[exhales]

[Kie] Portis.

[grunts] Come on.
Portis, wake up. Wake up!

[Sarah and John B panting]

[JJ] Come on, guys, hurry up. Hurry up.

[Kie panting] I got you.

[panting]

Wait, where's Kie? You guys, where's Kie?

[Sarah] She went the other way.

[Kie grunting]

[Kie] Take him. [panting]

- [Portis coughs]
- You okay?

[Kie coughs]

- [Portis] Thank you.
- You lied to us.

Who are you?

- [Portis groans] Oh God.
- [ATV engine revving]

You should get out of here.

sh*t.

[people talking indistinctly]

Oh my God. Oh my God.

[panting]

[groans, pants]

- [man ] Get out of the way!
- [man ] Come on up.

Policemen. Search all over the area.

[panting]

[grunts]

[groans] She's over here!

[Kie panting]

[Kie and man grunting]

- [grunts] Get off!
- [man] Get a hold of her.

[Kie grunts] Let me go!

Damn it! What are we...
what are we gonna do?

Go after her, right?

[John B] What... what can we do?

- Over there.
- [men shouting indistinctly]

[Sarah] Where are they taking her?

- They're all right there.
- They're looking this way. We gotta go.

[panting]

We gotta go, JJ.

[Sarah] JJ, come on.
We can't save her if we get caught.

That's it.

[guard on radio] We lost the others.
We'll keep searching.


[breathing shakily] I saved your life.

I know. I know. I'm sorry.
I gonna try to help you, okay?

I swear, I didn't know
it was gonna be like this.

Look, if you don't fight,
if you just do what they say,

these guys prob... probably won't hurt you.

What did Ward promise you?

[breathing shakily]

Who?

Hey, just take my advice,
do what they say.

Good luck.

[truck engine starts]

- [guard] All right, let's go.
- [breathing shakily]

- [seagulls squawking]
- [tense music plays]

Again, thank you both for coming.
I know it was a long way to travel.

But I think what we have is...

is pretty worthwhile.

Yes. Well, Michel is
the most prominent antiquities dealer

of the West Indies.

- Unfortunately, he only speaks French.
- No English.

- Yeah.
- [woman] Mm.

What is... what is French for priceless?

[intriguing music plays]

[exhales]

[speaks French]

Uh, may he touch it?

- Knock yourself out, Michel.
- [woman speaks French]

[speaks French]

[speaks French]

[speaks French]

[both speak French]

[seagulls squawking]

[Michel speaks French]

[speaks French]

He wants to know where you found it.

Don't worry about it. We got it.
That's all he needs to know.

It's here. It's for sale.
So who can we get to buy it?

[Michel speaks French]

[continues speaking French]

Uh, for a piece like this of this value,
there are very limited buyers.

- Uh, like an institution, a museum.
- [Michel speaks French]

- [sighs]
- [speaks French]

[woman] But he has a client
in Barbados who will be interested.

[Michel speaks French]

[speaks French]

This client will have lots of questions.
He'll want to meet with you in person.

[speaks French]

[woman] Call this number
to arrange everything.

[Michel] You... you phone.

- [Rafe] Yes.
- [Michel] Very important.

Very important. Very good.

[speaks French]

[in English] Let's make a deal?

[Michel] Let's make a deal.

[woman chuckles]

[advisor] Eberhimi was right.
They do have it.

And Michel says it's real.

[man] Let's invite him to dinner then.

[advisor] Will do.

[tense music plays]

What the hell was that?

Why would they want to kidnap Kiara?
It doesn't make any sense.

It's called bait.

- [Sarah] I am so sick of this.
- [metal clanks]

Do you think
there's any way we could trust the cops?

The cops? You're joking, right?

You seriously think
your daddy hasn't called them already?

I have a crazy idea.
Why don't we call my parents?

- And say what, Pope?
- And say we're alive.

I haven't seen my family
in I don't know how long.

They're probably worried sick about me.

We can just call and maybe ask them
to wire us some money or something.

- [John B] And put them in danger?
- I got a better idea.

And faster.

Whose is that?

You think I'm gonna go through
someone's backpack

and not pinch their wallet?

"Jimmy Portis, Cattle Wash."

I bet that's where they got Kiara.
All right?

- That's where we're going.
- [Pope] That's conceivable.

- But can we at least think this through?
- You got a better idea, Pope?

Come on, Cattle Wash.
That's where we're going.

[suspenseful music plays]

[guard] All right, let them in.

[truck engine revving]

[indistinct chatter over radio]

[truck doors open, close]

[guards talking indistinctly]

- [bell chiming]
- [door locks]

[suspenseful music continues]

[housekeeper] Take her upstairs.
The Orinoco Room.

This way.

[Kie grunts]

Up.

- [Kie panting]
- Inside.

Why am I here? Who are you working for?

Dinner at eight.

I'd clean up.

Just tell me what they want!

- [door locks]
- [doorknob rattling]

[inhales]

[suspenseful music continues]

[guard talking indistinctly]

[Rafe] I don't have time
for this, Rose, okay?

I gotta get to Bridgetown.
I'm taking the boat.

Come on, Rafe.
You don't even know this guy.

You can't just go out
and try and make a deal, Rafe.

- That's so risky.
- I can't?

[Rose] I know you think
you know what you're doing.

But there are people out there
that know your dad is alive. No!

Not just people, Pogues.

[Rafe] Pogues, Pogues.

Listen, they can't prove it.
They don't know where we are.

Sarah does!

Oh, Sarah does!
Listen, Sarah's not gonna do sh*t, Rose.

She's too afraid,
and if the Pogues show up,

I'm just gonna handle it.

[Rose] You'll handle it?

When have you ever handled
anything for us?

- Rafe, everything you touch turns to...
- Hey! Hey!

Listen.

I'm gonna sell the cross that I found.

Okay? That I saved, and when Dad wakes up...

- Okay.
- ...he's gonna see that I took care of it.

Not you.

Sure.

So why don't you go
have yourself another Tom Collins

while I go make us all
a sh*t ton of money? Okay?

[glass shatters]

You missed. [scoffs]

Maybe you don't need another drink.

[engine revving]

[Big John] And you think it's them?

[Limbrey] Mm, they fit
the description I heard.

From who?

[sighs] I got the police report.

Did they have a phone on them or anything?

They were just rescued.
Off the Grenadines.

They had nothing.

That means no one else can track
them either. Maybe that's good.

Why didn't you call him...
when you had a chance?

Just let him know you're alive.

You don't know how many times I wanted to,
but it would've put him at risk.

And me, it was better I stayed dead.

- [bell chimes]
- [man talks indistinctly]

When he was a boy,

I used to bring him home with the bells.

[bell tolling]

Bring it on in, John B!

[bell tolling]

Bring it on home, boy!

[echoes] Coming, Dad!

Find my boy.

And I will get you your shroud, I promise.

[JJ] Really helps
there's no names on the streets.

Just let me handle it.

Cattle Wash?

- Blue house? Thanks, I appreciate you.
- Let's do it.

[tense music plays]

This is it. Let's go around back.

- Shh!
- My bad. Sorry.

Hey.

- Window?
- [JJ] Yeah.

Here. You want some help?

No, I got this.

[grunts]

[Pope whispers] Careful.

Whoa. Yo, get off!

Get off!

Get off! Dude, get o... [yelps, groans]

- [JJ screams]
- [Pope] Shh!

- Hey! Shh!
- [JJ grunts]

What are you doing? Does the element
of surprise mean nothing to you?

- [JJ] It turned my thumb purple!
- Shh. Relax.

It's just a crab, man.

I'm being surrounded right now.
g*dd*mn it. Damn little sea spider.

[Pope] Shh!

[Cleo] I'll take the front.

Take the back.

[Sarah] Kiara?

Kie?

- [JJ] Sarah, no one in there?
- No.

- [JJ] No one there?
- There's no one in there.

Okay. Well, if she's not here,
where is she?

[tense music plays]

John B.

John B?

- Recognize that?
- [JJ] What? Find something?

- [John B] Holy sh*t.
- It's a burning boat.

[Pope] This is San Jose.

It's from Denmark's diary.

This is the ship
that Captain Limbrey stole the cross from.

And the Merchant gold.

[JJ] Great, whatever.

It's just about the gold.
It's not about Kiara. It doesn't help us.

Well, Portis is a treasure guy.

This is too close to our boat.

[JJ] Just let it go.
That's not why we're here.

[whistles] Guys, guys, guys.

What?

- sh*t. It's Portis.
- [JJ] sh*t.

- Yo, he's back.
- Do we run?

[phone rings]

Hey.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're pulling her out right now.

I'm just really worried
about the electrical, all right? I...

All right. All right.
I'll check in with you tomorrow.

- [phone beeps off]
- Flying Fish, man.

Damn it.

I've had it with you guys.

- [exhales]
- [tense music plays]

[JJ grunts]

- [Portis grunts]
- Come here!

[John B grunts]

[Portis and Pope grunting]

[Portis grunting]

[JJ] I got him.

- Get up!
- Okay, okay.

- Okay.
- Sit down.

[grunts] You guys
really shouldn't be here right now.

Where is she, Jimmy?

Answer the man!

[scoffs] You really don't wanna know.

[Sarah] Talk.

Who took her?

Was it Ward?

[laughs] Ward? Who's Ward?

You guys really don't understand
who you're messing with.

- [Sarah] We'll call the cops.
- [Portis] Sure, call the cops.

See how far that gets you.
This guy owns the cops.

He's got eyes all over the island
looking for you. All of you.

He's a big man, the Kingfish.

- The Kingfish.
- [Pope] Hey!

- What's this?
- Hey, take your hands off my sh*t.

- Hey, quiet down!
- [JJ] Shut up.

- Quiet.
- [Portis pants]

- [JJ] What is it?
- [Portis grunts]

[Portis] Ah, man.

[JJ] What's that, Jimmy?
Is that the payoff?

Is that the payoff for Kiara, Jimmy?

Is it?

- [Portis groans]
- [Cleo] Talk!

Hey, what's Vaux Hall?

You really don't want to go there, man.

- That's the lion's den.
- That's it.

That's where Kie is. Come on, Pope.

- You really don't want to go there!
- Do we look afraid?

[Portis pants]

You should be.

Let's go. Come on, it's not worth it.

Come on, Cleo. JJ, let's go! Come on!

Portis, we're taking some clothes.
Deal with it.

Big mistake.
You're just gonna make it worse for her!

["Worry" by Songhoy Blues plays]

Hey, I didn't tell you sh*t, okay?

Remember that!

[tense music plays]

sh*t.

[JJ exhales]

Pope, are you sure
you got the right address?

I know you aren't talking to me
about having the right address.

[JJ] That's exactly what I'm asking.

Look, the place says Vaux Hall.
Vaux Hall, it's on the map.

- We don't know if that's where we are.
- It's in the general vicinity.

Why don't we just ask someone?

Hey!

[engine stops]

Pardon I.

You know where we can find Vaux Hall?

You kidding me, right?

Everything you can see all around you
is all Vaux Hall.

Wait, what do you mean? Like...

[man] All this, all this, all this.

[JJ] Oh, everywhere.

Okay, so who lives up there?

Carlos Singh.

Just on the other side of that wall.

But take it from me,
he's no one you want to get to know.

[Pope] Okay, thank you.

- [engine starts]
- Thank you.

[suspenseful music plays]

[knocking on door]

[door opens]

[housekeeper] He's ready.

[birds chirping]

[bell chimes]

[liquid pouring]

Uh, excuse me?

No, I knew you and Ward
were behind this sh*t.

What are you talking about?
You trying to weasel in on my deal?

Is that what's going on?

[man] I wondered if your little reunion
would cause sparks, you know.

[chuckles]

[Rafe] Who are you?

Me?

My name is Carlos Singh.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Cameron.

And Ms. Carrera, I do apologize

for the rough tactics
in bringing you here.

But please, come.

Sit down.

Come now, I don't bite.

[Rafe] Rough tactics. What about me?

Yes, Mr. Cameron, false pretenses.

But the ends justify the means,
I'm afraid.

Sit down.

- [Rafe exhales]
- We have a lot to talk about.

Why are we here?

Well, Ms. Carrera, Mr. Cameron,
we share certain interests, you know.

Objectives.

Is this not about the cross?

It is.

Tangentially, it is about the cross,
but it's also about something

much, much bigger than the cross.

By orders of magnitude...

[sighs] ...the completion of a grand quest.

You see,

the story goes that years ago,

a Spanish soldier
came out of the Orinoco Basin

with a few gold beads.

And when they asked the Spanish soldier,
"Where the beads came from,"

the Spanish soldier replied he got them
from a peaceful Indigenous tribe

who lived in a city of gold.

El Dorado.

And for the next years,
people tried to find that gold, you know.

They tried.

Conquistadors, knights,

captains of ships, tribes,

entire nations.

All fighting each other
in a race for the end of the rainbow.

Thousands of lives

laid on the pyre of gold fever.

And it falls to me, you know.

It falls to me to complete the task.

To bring full circle a quest
that has gone on for almost years.

Perhaps... perhaps the greatest quest

in the history
of the western hemisphere, you know.

And you two...

[chuckles]

...you two are going to play a part in that.

What about you, Ms. Carrera?

Are you interested in history?

- I'm more of a future person.
- [Rafe groans]

I didn't listen to a word you said, okay?
How much you gonna keep philosophizing?

[Singh chuckles]

You are direct, aren't you, Mr. Cameron?

What do you need from me?

I've come to believe
that you and your friends

are in possession of something
that can help me get what I want.

- Which is?
- [Singh] An old manuscript.

A diary, actually.

[tense music plays]

[grunts]

[both grunt]

[Sarah] Thanks!

Oh sh*t! Wait!

Sarah, get down! Quick!

[all grunting]

- You see him?
- [Cleo] Shh!

[John B panting]

[Pope panting] Oh man.

Okay. Portis wasn't kidding.

No, that's a fortress.
This is much bigger than Ward.

We got two towers, patrollers,
ATVs, possibly sn*pers.

There's no way we're getting past that.

We gotta help her. We can take them
if we stay towards the tree line.

No, Cleo! No, Cleo!

- [JJ splutters]
- Hey!

sh*t.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

This is ridiculous.
I don't know anything about a diary.

But how else could you have learned
that the cross was on the Royal Merchant?

[inhales] Look,
I want to help you, but I can't.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that,
you know.

Because unfortunately,
I don't believe you.

You and your friend here
couldn't have found the cross without it.

He's not my friend.

We can't all be friends, you know.

[sighs] Look, this is ridiculous.
Okay? I'm out.

I don't know anything
about a diary, okay? So...

Do I look like a fool to you, Mr. Cameron?

Do I look like a fool to you?

You have the cross.

She and she friends
had the cross at one point.

So one of you has the diary.

And if you really don't know,

then I suggest you convince
your friend to tell me.

Once I have the diary...

you'll be free to leave.

[tense music crescendos]

[guard talking indistinctly]

[indistinct chatter over radio]

[dog barking]

- Shh!
- Cleo.

- Go!
- Shh!

- Oh sh*t.
- [John B] What do you see?

Uh... [mumbling]

- Hey, use your words. Words.
- What?

- They're right there.
- Then just say that.

All right. What we should do
is we should back up, all right?

Because there's no way.

- [John B] JJ, get down.
- [Cleo] Hey.

There's an opening down that way.

As soon as the guards turn around,
we just sneak in through the back.

- Come on. Go, it's this way.
- [JJ whispers indistinctly]

Wait, you know what we should be doing?
Go down, take the sewers up...

- What sewers?
- The sewers!

This is all grassland.

- There's no sewers.
- [JJ mutters]

[beeping, clicking]

- [beeping]
- What was that?

[exhales] What was that?

[beeping continues]

I know that sound. Hold on.
All right, all right.

Wait, what is that? [panting]

- [Pope] It's a game cam.
- Oh sh*t!

- Yeah, that's... What?
- Mash it up. Mash it up.

- Put it on the ground.
- [Pope] No!

- Stop it. Give me that. Pull the battery.
- [John B] Quick, before it transmits.

- [Sarah] Transmits?
- [beeping]

[JJ] Pope, come on! Hurry up.

[beeping stops]

[JJ sighs]

Do you think we got it
before it transmitted?

[dog barking]

- No.
- Dogs, dogs. We gotta go.

[JJ] Go, go, go, go!

- We gotta go, we gotta go.
- [Pope] Run!

- [JJ] Go, go!
- [Cleo shouts]

[suspenseful music plays]

[guard shouts indistinctly]

[tire screeching]

[guard shouts]

Dogs, dogs! Go, go, go!

- [John B shouts indistinctly]
- [Pope yelps]

[guard ] Don't let them
make it to the wall!

- Send the dogs. Send the dogs.
- [dogs barking]

[guard ] Come on.

[guard ] Seek, seek.

- [John B] Dogs!
- [all shouting]

- Dogs, dogs!
- [Sarah groans]

Go, go!

- [Cleo screams]
- [Pope] Come on, come on!

[all shouting indistinctly]

[dogs barking]

[Cleo shouting indistinctly]

[Pope grunts]

[JJ] Sarah, come on!

[dogs barking]
- John B, hurry, get up here!

Okay, cool. No, stay down!

[Sarah] John B! John!

[sighs] Okay.

[all panting]

- [John B] Ah, cool.
- [grunts]

[sighs] Series of bad decisions.

[pants]

[all panting]

What are we gonna do about Kiara?

We'll think of something,
but we're not leaving her in there.

Come on.

[tense music plays]

Enjoy the grounds during your stay.

I must warn you, though.

I'm not a man of infinite patience.

You have one day.

Go to the window
for a little demonstration.

I think you'll enjoy it, you know.

[Rafe] Hey. Hey!

- You're just done talking?
- [door locks]

- [doorknob rattling]
- Hey!

It's locked.

[vehicle approaching]

[men shouting indistinctly]

[Portis] Get off me, man!
I didn't do nothing, man!

- [guard speaks indistinctly]
- [Rafe] Who the hell is that guy?

[Kie] I know him. It's Jimmy Portis.

He was trying to help me.

[Rafe] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[tense music crescendos]

- [g*n cocks, fires]
- [gasps]

[panting]

This diary. [panting]

Hey, no bullshit.

Don't bullshit me. Okay?
Do you have it? [panting]

Kie?

[tense music building]

No.
