[eerie music playing]
[birds chirping]
[Groff chuckles] Well, come in. Come in.
Wes was really hoping you'd show.
He's been waiting.
Welcome. Step right this way.
Hi. [chuckles]
Come on in.
[chuckles]
[eerie music continues]
Just, uh
- Just right in the next room.
- [JJ] Okay.
This place smells like dead bodies.
[Groff chuckles] I'll, uh
I'll let Wes know you're here.
Wes, they've come.
Oh good. Good. Bring them in.
Come in. Please, please,
warm yourselves by the fire.
Good to see you.
[fire crackling]
Ew.
[Wes] I I apologize
for dragging you all out here,
but I
I don't think I could speak
about this in public.
I know I mentioned Blackbeard,
but I assure you all,
my interest is not for treasure.
My ancestor, Francis Genrette,
was the British officer who caught
and killed the notorious pirate.
- Wait. Your your direct ancestor?
- [Wes] Mm-hmm.
Yes, unfortunately.
After he'd beheaded Blackbeard,
he killed the pirate's wife, Elizabeth.
And since then, for 300 years,
generations of Genrettes
have been haunted by Elizabeth's ghost
and have died violent deaths,
including my daughter.
[eerie music continues]
Larissa, Chandler's wife.
My daughter saw Elizabeth
a week before she died.
Now
[Sarah hesitates]
[Wes]I've had a visitation.
So I know I don't have much time.
[John B inhales, clears throat]
Right. Uh
so we're really sorry
that that happened to you,
but what do you want from us?
[Wes] Of course, you're right.
Let's get down to business. Chandler.
[Groff] We believe that we've found a way
to break the curse on this family.
Right before she was murdered,
Elizabeth begged Francis
to retrieve from her husband's ship
a keepsake that he'd given her.
Her most prized possession.
An amulet.
He denied the request
and then murdered her.
[Wes] But if we find that amulet,
fulfilling Elizabeth's last request,
I believe it will break the curse
that has haunted my family
for over 300 years.
[Kiara] Okay. Um
I'm sorry. Where did you say
that the necklace thingy is?
[Groff] Oh. [chuckles]
Blackbeard's last ship,
the Adventure.
Perfect.
[Groff] According to all records,
the amulet was still on it
when it was scuttled
right off Goat Island.
Right, yeah, but the Coast Guard
excavated that site years ago.
The excavation team
didn't know what we know.
They didn't have this.
[intriguing music playing]
There's a secret lockbox
hidden behind the headboard
in the captain's chamber.
Do you dive?
[JJ] We dive. All all of us do.
It's just,
we only do it if the price is right.
[clears throat]
Excellent.
We are prepared to offer you
a premium for your services.
Fifty thousand, plus expenses.
Five thousand up front.
And we would very much like
your immediate answer.
Well, I think we kind of
[indistinct chatter]
[Pope] Uh, we'll just need
to think it through.
[John B] We'll be right back.
- Only take a second. One sec.
- [Pope] Thank you.
[Sarah] Okay, guys, um
- What was that?
- [Cleo] We have to think.
[door closes]
[Kiara] This is weird.
We could just slip out through the back.
Are we really going to listen to the guy
who should be in a white padded room?
Visitations? Curses?
He's a madman.
Obviously, he's batshit, but he's in there
crying about his daughter.
Like, he needs help.
- He needs therapy, not a necklace thing.
- Obviously, this guy is nutty.
We don't even know
if anything he's saying is true.
We cannot ignore the fact
that there is a ghost and a curse.
- Y'all aren't getting a weird-ass vibe?
- Okay. Guys.
Let's just say we take this job.
- Is it even possible?
- Yes.
I knew what you would say. Everybody else?
That shipwreck is
probably 80 to 100 feet down.
- The currents are probably ripping.
- [JJ] Guys.
Are we really gonna worry
about the details right now?
- [Cleo and John B] Yes!
- [Pope] That's 100%.
[indistinct chatter]
Guys, in our time of need,
are we gonna turn down free money?
- No. That's not like us.
- [Kiara] It's not free.
The worst that can happen
is we walk out of here
with five Gs in our pocket.
End of discussion.
- [Sarah] That's not the worst.
- [Cleo] We can go to jail, get arrested.
Sir, we've come to our conclusion,
and we'll do it.
We'll take the job.
Now, that initial 5K,
is that that right there?
- You can go ahead, fork that over to me.
- Welcome aboard.
Hey, you know what? Actually,
I think I'll take this for safekeeping.
- Huh? You know?
- [Groff chuckles]
- [JJ] All right. Sure.
- [Pope] Thank you.
[JJ] You won't regret this, sir.
I promise you.
- We'll get the job done.
- [Groff] Hey, JJ.
I believe in you.
[menacing music playing]
Thank you.
[Groff chuckles]
[menacing music intensifies]
[menacing music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[hip-hop music playing]
[Topper] Let's go. Let's go.
Go, Top!
Let's go. I got it. We got it.
[slurring] Here we go.
- [all cheering]
- [girl 1] Oh my God!
Let's go, baby!
[laughs, cheers]
Oh man.
It's a little harmless celebration, right?
[girl 2] Absolutely. Oh, you need a beer.
- I need a refill. I need a ref
- [Rafe] Hey.
- [Topper] Yeah, my brother!
- [both grunting]
There he is! How are you, baby?
Gave it up for the win. I love you.
Do you remember Sheriff Peterkin?
His dad shot her.
What did you say?
You got something to say?
- Hey, listen, if you want
- [man] Back off, Rafe.
Listen, listen. If you wanna if you wanna
whisper some bullshit behind my back,
why don't you just say it to my face?
I'm standing right here.
You got something to say,
say it to my face.
- Say it to my face.
- Hey, all right. All right.
[Rafe] No, no, no.
I just wanna hear what you said.
- [Topper] We're all friends.
- [Rafe] All friends.
- [Topper] Having a little celebration.
- Yeah.
I just don't like
when people talk about my dad.
No, I get it. I get it. He
- You know, Rafe, he was a good man.
- [Rafe] That's right.
[screams] He was a great man!
[Sofia] Hey.
[bottle clattering]
- Don't listen to them.
- [Rafe] "Don't listen."
Kind of hard
when they do it in front of me.
I mean, I expect that from The Cut
but not here.
- Not here, you know.
- I know. I know.
What is this bullshit?
Who do you have at your party?
- [Sofia] Hey, hey.
- Come on, we're good!
Let's go. Hey, let's get some air.
[Rafe] I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'm just getting a drink somewhere else.
[hip-hop music ends]
[soul music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Just give me one of Whatever.
[woman] Rafe.
[chuckles] Hollis Robinson.
I I worked with your father quite a bit.
Oh yeah, Hollis.
Mister Robinson's wife.
Yeah, ex, I'm afraid.
I haven't seen you in a few years.
You've you've grown up.
It's good to see you.
Yeah, well,
I really didn't really have a choice, so
[Hollis] None of us do, really.
I, uh I admired your father.
I'm so very sorry about what happened.
Thank you.
You know, I've, um,
I've been watching you, Rafe.
All those real estate moves.
- You built that that condo on Bayline.
- [Rafe] Mmm.
- The renovation of the church plot.
- It was just, you know, a little thing.
But, um, I made it happen, so
[Hollis] Yeah. People are noticing.
The right people.
I've got a little
development project cooking,
and I am looking for a partner
who's not afraid of the deep waters,
who's gonna leave it all on the field.
Partner?
- [Hollis] Oh, hi.
- Hi.
Who's this?
It's my, uh, friend, Sofia.
Sofia, this is Mrs., uh
- Miss Robinson. Hollis.
- [Hollis] Yeah.
- Nice to meet you.
- [Hollis] The pleasure is mine, Sofia.
Well you take care, Rafe.
[Rafe] You too.
[soul music continues]
Who is she?
Oh, she's just, uh
She's the biggest Realtor/cougar
on the island.
Oh.
What, are you jealous?
Should I be, friend?
- I mean, depends on what she's offering.
- [scoffs]
- Hey, I'm joking. I'm joking.
- I hate you.
I'm joking. I'm joking.
[tense music playing]
[boy laughing]
More than 2,000 sunken ships
off the coast right here.
Many attributed to Blackbeard
until he was captured by the British,
who chopped his head off.
And did you know, Blackbeard's ghost
still haunts these very shores.
They say that on stormy nights,
you can hear his phantom ship
creaking in the waves.
And if you're really lucky,
you might even see
his headless specter walking the beach.
[man] What happened to his treasure?
[tour guide] Ah,
it's a good question, matey. [chuckles]
Blackbeard was known to have amassed
a fortune in gold and jewels but,
where he hid it, nobody knows for sure.
It's out near Goat Island.
That's right. [chuckles]
Most of the old salts around here
believe it's somewhere
- [sword clanging]
- near Goat Island.
["The End Of A Gun" by GHOSTWOMAN playing]
Could I give you a piece of my mind? ♪
[Pope] Okay so, looking at
the schematics of the ship,
it'll probably be best
for you to enter in around here.
- [JJ] Right.
- Genrette wasn't kidding about this stash.
Look. In the captain's log,
there's a secret compartment.
Right here behind the headboard
in the captain's quarters.
[John B] Are we still talking about this?
- [JJ] Yep.
- The ship's been down there for 300 years.
- It's been salvaged, we know that.
- Come on, not gonna hurt to check.
[John B exhales]
[JJ] Yeah. It feels right.
And also, we know where it is.
It's right in this area.
Except we don't know exactly where it is.
What about the Coast Guard?
I bet they know where it is.
Plus I've heard coasties are quite chill,
so we could probably just ask them.
[John B] Hey, wait, Pope,
isn't your uncle in the Coast Guard?
- Uncle Roger?
- [Pope] My Uncle Roger?
No, no, no. That's not gonna work.
My Uncle Roger is the most straight-laced,
by-the-books person
in the history of the world.
- It's not gonna happen.
- More straight-laced than you?
First, I didn't graduate high school.
I had to get a GED.
- That's that's pretty loosey-goosey.
- [JJ whistles]
[Pope] So, other options.
Wait, JJ,
isn't your, uh,
your friend in the Coast Guard? Boogie.
Oh boy.
[JJ] Boogs? He's in the reserves, bro.
Yeah, but he'd probably know.
[JJ] That's not what I'm saying.
He's a marina rat.
Living paycheck to paycheck.
So, if we're gonna get
any intel out of him,
he's gonna need to be bribed.
Which, look, I'm totally fine with doing.
It's just
- [John B and Sarah] No.
- [JJ] All right.
There's your answer right there.
So, in my mind, I'm like,
the best-case scenario
is if I had an uncle
who knew where the wreck was,
would maybe tell us for free.
Oh, that's right, you do.
- So that should be our first stop.
- [Pope] You're not listening.
I dropped a cracker
in that man's garage one time,
and he made me clean the whole thing.
He is not the person who will give out
classified information. He's just not.
- Not with that attitude.
- [JJ] Dude.
Your uncle might
literally know where it's at,
he might even tell us for free,
but you just gotta try.
No, I I don't think you're listening.
He could say yes.
Also, I thought all Pogues
were all team players here, so
- No.
- Not even a single woogity?
- Whatever happened to "Pogues for life"?
- Absolutely not.
- Take one for the team.
- That's it. I'm done. I'm not asking him.
So, I I just have a project coming up,
um, about the deterioration
of wooden schooners in salt water.
And the measurements of the barnacles
and everything. I just need the location
So, what you're saying is,
you want me to betray my pledge
to my country and God
so you can do who knows what
at a wreck site with your hoodlum friends?
- I'm not asking you to betray God.
- I'm surprised at you, Pope.
You're not just disappointing me.
You're disappointing the whole family.
[insects chirping]
Look at me, boy.
You need to get your shit together, son.
["I Want a Break Thru"
by The Hykkers playing]
[grunting]
What happened?
I don't think he's gonna look at me
the same way again.
- Great.
- [Cleo] Don't take it too hard, Pope.
He probably gave up on you
a long time ago.
Plan B?
Let's find Boogie.
[motorcycle starts]
- [motorcycle engine revving]
- [music fades]
No, we don't. I'm so sorry.
- Thank you so much for calling.
- [beeping]
- All right, have a good one.
- [cash register opens]
[Cleo] Whoa. Head chopped off. Gross.
Your receipt.
[customer] Thanks.
[Sarah] Come back anytime.
Except when the surf's good.
Smell that?
- Money.
- [Sarah] Money.
[Cleo and Sarah chuckle]
- Hello.
- [Dale] Good afternoon, ladies.
[reggae music playing]
Y'all remember me?
How could we forget?
[Dale] Mmm.
I like that accent.
Welcome to our country.
[Sarah] How can we help you?
I've got something for you here.
[tense music playing]
You shouldn't have.
I can take this place
off your hands at any time.
For a fair price.
I don't think that's necessary.
But can we offer you a keychain?
Maybe a glass bong, a pipe?
You look like you need one.
You know, y'all are gonna lose this place.
You might as well sell now.
[wood knocking]
And you have safe travels
back to your homeland.
[tense music continues]
- [Cleo] What is it?
- One second.
I don't know. [mumbling]
My dad used to do that all the time.
It's changing the zoning.
It's a way to force owners
out of their property.
Is that legal?
If you have the money to do it.
We're gonna need a lot more than $5,000.
["Candy Maker"
by Tommy James & The Shondells playing]
[seagulls squawking]
[JJ] All right.
Let's go do this.
[John B] Ah.
Rockfish. You think Boogie's here?
Yeah, it's where
all the coast guards hang.
- Dude.
- There he is. That's my boy, Boogie!
- I told him.
- That's my bad. You know.
Look, that was a tough shot, all right?
- Good to see you.
- Don't drop in on me like that, man.
Won't happen again. Maybe.
- [country music playing]
- Thank you, sir. Good to see you again.
So, you're technically saying
you do know where it is though.
- That's what you're saying.
- Of course I know where it is.
I'm pulling rope on the cutters
three days out of the week but, what,
y'all the famous
treasure hunting bros now?
[JJ chuckling] Yeah.
Oh, hell no. Nuh-uh.
No, that shit's a state secret.
They do not want every yahoo coming in,
tearing up the wreck.
Boog, we can keep a secret.
I've always kept them.
They're up there. Locked away.
Yeah, and I'll be locked away
if people find out.
- Plus, they'll take away my pension.
- [John B] Hey.
We'll be in and out, all right?
- We only need like, what, uh, 60 minutes.
- Max, like, 30 minutes.
- Forty minutes.
- [JJ] Thirty.
- Forty-five minutes. Max.
- [JJ] Forty-five. [clears throat]
In and out. Easy.
At night?
'Cause you'd have to do it at night.
- [hesitates]
- [JJ] Why do we gotta do it at night?
'Cause of the location. It's by the base.
- Did y'all do any research?
- It's by the Coast Guard base?
[Boogie] Nah, the other base.
Yes, the Coast Guard base.
They'll spot you easy during the day.
[billiard balls banging]
All right. We do it at night, then.
- Good luck with that.
- [JJ] No, no, no, Boogie.
Forty-five minutes,
at the wreck, at night.
Come on, man,
all we need are the exact coordinates.
What's your price for that?
[laughs] Price?
I can't be bought, man.
I ain't got no price.
- [chair slides]
- [John B] Hey, Boog, hear me out.
Look, hey, listen. Um
You always got a price.
- [Boogie] No, I don't.
- [John B] Nuh-uh.
Maybe you do.
Oh, okay.
How about that gray racer right there?
Gray racer? What?
I like that motorbike.
That thing's badass, bro.
I know it's badass.
It's not for sale though, all right?
We're not trading that. Nuh-uh.
- He's just joking around.
- [John B] I hear you
- But it's not for sale.
- Look at me. Take one for the team.
- It's not Boogie.
- Take one
[JJ] Boogie, yo,
can I talk to you real quick?
Bro, like, man, that's my bike.
Like, those are my wheels.
That's my freedom. Um
[hesitates] She's my baby.
Oh man, I I feel you.
You know, but prices, prices.

[girl 1 blathering excitedly]
I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you.
Here we go. We got this.
All right, guys, huddle up.
Who's ready to find the treasure?
- [all] Me!
- [girl 2] Yeah!
Okay. Three, two, one
[all] Arr!
Go! Okay, be careful. Don't run that fast.
Who's gonna find
the treasure first? Let's go!

Oh, Parker, you dropped your sword.

The kid said it was this way.
All right. Let's go see
what we're looking at.
[tense music continues]
[seagulls squawking]
Son of a bitch.
How about next time
y'all wait until I arrive
before you remove the deceased
from the place of discovery?
[woman] Yes, sir.
All right. Just, uh, don't touch the scene
and let's go ahead and load him up
before these lookie-loos
get further traumatized.
- Goddamn.

- [JJ] Mmm.
You can't dive without a buddy.
Of course I can.
- [grunts]
- [Kiara] But it's not safe.
I'm going with.
It's 80 feet down in the dark.
- And moving through structures.
- Exactly.
Even for experts,
it's a hairball situation.
- Which you're not.
- Neither are you.
I already decided, so
We've gotta save the farm.
I'm not gonna
go crawling back to my parents.
It'll be fun.
Okay.
That's that.
- This goes on this blue one.
- [Cleo] You should go.
It's gonna be like a surgical strike,
all right? In and out.
They'll drop down there,
take a quick peek. That's it. All right?
It's gonna be fine.
[Cleo] Okay.
["Pray For Gee Chambers"

- Hey, before you go
- [John B] Hey.
- Wait, wait, wait. Before you go, um
- What?
[exhales]
You remember that Kook
that tried to outbid us at the auction?
Yeah, why? What's what's going on?
[paper rustling]
He brought this by.
They're changing our zoning.
We might lose this place.
- [melancholic music playing]
- Shit.
Does anybody else know?
Just Cleo.
Pope's gonna freak when he finds out.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- [voice breaking] I'm sorry. I don't know.
[exhales]
What are we gonna do?
- [tense music playing]

All aboard!
Let's do it to it.
[Pope sighs]
[John B] All right. Listen up.
We got the nav points,
and we've got the gear.
We're in and out, all right?
This is one night only.
We slip down under.
We stay under the radar.
All right? JJ, you're going down.
- Sarah and Cleo
- Um, actually, I'm going down too.
[John B] Okay.
JJ and Kie go down.
Me and Pope stay up.
Sarah and Cleo, you guys drive out
to the lighthouse by the Coast Guard base.
Stand watch.
Do this right, we're home by midnight.
[JJ] Clock's ticking.
- Fun, fun.
- Just like old times.
[boat engine revving]
- Be safe.
- I will.
- [JJ] Later, y'all.

Hey, slow her down.

Seventy-eight.
Okay. Ready?
Here we go.
Switch out. You guys get ready.
John B, keep us in position.

[Cleo] They hit the drop site.
[Sarah] Just keep a lookout
for the Coast Guard.
[JJ] Honestly, it's kind of like
surfing The Point, you know?
We're upstream, and then the rip
is just gonna take us out.
- Yeah.
- [JJ] Yeah.
Right.

[speargun clatters]
Is that necessary?
Yeah, yeah, I mean, reef, fish
- And the man in the gray suit.
- [John B] That too.

all right?
Fifteen feet for three minutes.
Hear that, JJ?
Fifteen feet, three minutes.
Copy that.
Or what?
The bends, remember?
Nitrogen in the blood,
excruciating pain,
death, et cetera, et cetera.

She should know. It's part of it.

[John B] Hey, Pope.
The tide's turning. I don't know
how long we're gonna be able to keep it.
They've only got about 45 minutes of air,
so should be quick.
- [radio beeps]
- Hey.
You all good over there? See any cutters?
- See anything?
- [Cleo] Mm-mm.
- [radio beeps]
- Nothing yet.
No sign of the Coast Guard,
but we've got some fog moving in.
Once that hits, we're blind.
- [radio beeps]
- [Pope] Copy that.
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't making
me feel a little bit nostalgic.
One night only.
In and out.

Help me! [groans]
No! Kiara!
Kiara!
Here!
[Kiara] JJ!
Are we still all good up there?
Talk to me. Do you see anything?
- [boat revving]
- Do you hear that?
- What?
- That.
[boat engine revving]
- [Cleo] Ah, shit. That can't be good.
- [radio beeps]
Guys, guys, guys,
there's someone else out here.
Get out of there right now.
Bogies coming your way.
- It's not Coast Guard.
- [radio beeps]
[tense music playing]
- Do you hear that? It's a boat.
- Chill. Just chill.
- Pope? John B?
- Cut the engine. Cut the engine.
- Okay. It's off. Everything's off.
- Are the warning lights off?
- Okay, just get low, all right?
- [Pope] Get down.
[John B] Nice and slow. Nice and slow.
[music intensifies]
[Kiara] No!
[JJ] No! Kiara!
[Kiara yelps]
[man 1 and Kiara grunting]
[Kiara moaning]
[man 2] We're close!
It's gotta be just up here!
[tense music continues]
[JJ grunting]
[Kiara] JJ!
[man 3] Let's make another pass!
[boat engine revving]
[man 3] Okay?
[tense music continues]
- How much time they got left, Pope?
- Five minutes.
[boat engine revving]
- We gotta get 'em out.
- Let's start looking for 'em.
[man 2] See him? He should be up by now.
[JJ exhales, grunts]
[Kiara] Hey.
[JJ grunts, talks indistinctly]
- [metal creaking]
- [JJ grunting]
[JJ] Hey. Come on. Come on.
[JJ sighs] Thank God.
- [monitor beeping]
- [Kiara groaning]
[JJ] We gotta go.
- We gotta go now. Okay?
- [Kiara groans]
- [JJ] Yes. Yeah.
- [Kiara] Mm-hmm.
- [Kiara groans]
- [JJ] Come on.
[JJ grunting]
Kie, let's go. Come on.
[music intensifies]
- [Kiara panting]
- [JJ coughing]
[Kiara panting]
- [Kiara] Oh my God!
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. That was so close!
- [JJ] I know.
- Who the hell was that down there?
- Where's John B?
- John B!
- [Kiara] Hey!
- Hey! John B!
- [JJ] John B!
- Shit. It's JJ and Kie.
- [Pope] Come this way.
Hurry up. Let's go.
We see you. Stop screaming.
- [man 2] Here we come.
- [man 3] Where is he?
[man 1] Hey! Over here!
There he is. Over there.
[man 4] He's over here! Straight ahead!
[man 1] Over here! Come on, hurry up!
[boat engine revving]
[JJ] Pope, get the ladder!
- [Kiara] Get the ladder!
- [John B] Pope.
[JJ panting]
- [Pope] Kie, hand me your stuff.
- [Kiara groans]
- Wait. Where's your BCP?
- It's gone.
- What do you mean, it's gone?
- I mean, it's gone.
- [Pope] You all right?
- Yeah.
- There was a guy that tried to kill us.
- We saw a boat out here too.
They were armed.
We need to get out of here now.
No, you don't understand.
- There's a guy down there
- There's a boat. We just saw it pass.
[man 1 groaning]
[man 3] Jesus, man.
What happened to your arm?
- [man 1] There's someone else there.
- [man 4] What?
[man 1] They stabbed me with a speargun.
Argh!
- [man 3] Who? Where'd they go?
- [John B] Grab the ladder. Let's go.
- Get the ladder.
- Hold on.
- [John B] You good? You all right, man?
- Yeah.
- I'm fine. Just get out of here.
- [John B] Go, go, go!
[boat engine revving]
[man 1] I hear a boat!
There!
[dramatic music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[dramatic music fades]
[melancholic music playing]
[knocking at door]
[Wes] Have they called?
- [Groff] I'm afraid not.
- Tell me immediately when they do.
Go on. I'm busy.
[footsteps departing]
[thunder rumbling]
- [tense music playing]
- [wind howling]
[music intensifies]
[thunder rumbling]
[tense music stops]
[Rafe] Thanks for the hospitality, Hollis.
You mind if I, uh, grab another?
[Hollis] Sure. Help yourself.
Do you remember that deal
I told you about the other night?
I wanna give you an opportunity
to be on the ground floor
of something pretty special.
[mellow music playing over stereo]
- [Rafe] That's Goat Island.
- That's right.
[Rafe] I mean,
it's owned by the Genrettes.
Eighteen miles of coastline.
The largest piece
of undeveloped waterfront property
on the eastern seaboard,
granted by the King in 1718.
Never been sold. Never appraised.
The Cut's gonna be Figure 8 in a few years
and there'll be nothing left
but Goat Island.
- [Rafe] Mm-hmm.
- And now
they're looking for a select group
of partners to syndicate it.
Okay, why me?
You're young, you're energetic,
local, and, uh
and I like you, Rafe.
I guess I guess I can admit that.
[chuckles] Yeah.
- And you wanna know the best part?
- [Rafe] Mmm?
Wanna know why they're selling now,
finally, after all of these years?
- [Rafe] Mmm?
- [whispers] They think it's haunted.
[whispers] Blackbeard.
[both laugh]
You're shitting me.
- [laughing] No.
- Really?
[laughing] Yeah.
We are in pole position to make a fortune
'cause an old man believes in ghosts.
- So
- Mmm.
Are you interested?
Should I keep talking?
Yeah, keep talking.
[Hollis] Yeah.
[thunder rumbling]
- [John B] What the hell happened?
- [Kiara] Someone tried to kill us.
[Pope] What? Why? That doesn't make sense.
Obviously, they were going after
the same thing we were, right?
That amulet was worth something.
That old man is keeping some secret.
Then someone else is waiting down there?
I knew that story was bunk.
- My stomach feels like shit.
- [JJ panting]
Hey, man, did you take your safety stop?
I'm gonna say it one more time.
Someone was trying to kill us.
We did not make
[Pope] They have the bends.
We need to get them to the hospital. Now.
[John B] Nice and easy. You've just got
a couple bubbles in your blood right now.
[Kiara] I've got bubbles in my blood?
[John B] No. You're gonna be fine.
[car engine revving]
[Cleo] Come on, John B!
[John B] I'm going.
- Hey, watch out! Watch out!
- [car horns honk]
- Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
- [JJ moaning]
John B, can you please go faster?
- Shit.
- [Pope] Hey.
- Who was down there with you guys?
- No idea, Pope.
- But y'all are not gonna believe this.
- [Kiara] Yeah.
[panting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Cleo] What is that?
[Sarah] You found it?
- [Cleo] Oh shit.
- [Pope] What?
- That's the thing he was looking for.
- Holy shit. Holy shit.
- Why didn't you tell us sooner?
- [JJ] I was too busy dying.
- [Cleo] John B!
- [John B] I'm going.
- [Cleo] You're a rock star, girl!
- [moaning]
Fifty thousand!
- [Cleo laughing]
- Holy shit. Holy shit.
[JJ groans] Fifty K.
- [Kiara] It was worth it.
- [JJ] Cha-ching.
[suspenseful music continues]
- [tires screeching]
- [siren wailing]
- [Pope] All right. Let's go.
- You got her?
- [Cleo] Here you go.
- [John B] Pope, keep going.
I've got you. Come on.
- Come on. Come on.
- [Kiara moaning]
- [John B] I got you.
- [Cleo] Hey, hey, hey, hey, I need help.
- I got you.
- Okay.
I got you.
[groaning]
[Kiara panting]
[JJ] I got you. Oh, jeez.
[nurse] Their vitals
and mental status is stable,
and the pain scale is moving
in the right direction,
but they still need time
in the hyperbaric chamber.
They just bought themselves
12 hours in the tank.
[suspenseful music continues]
[suspenseful music fades]
[siren wailing]
Okay, so, good news,
they're gonna be okay.
They just need a little while
to decompress.
[Cleo] Shit, man.
I'm just glad they're okay.
While we wait,
I say we go back to Genrette's
and demand cash for this amulet.
I don't know about you guys,
but after all we've been through,
I think we're owed a lot more than 50K.
- Where'd that come from?
- [Cleo] Cheese on bread.
- You've been hanging out with JJ too much.
- [Pope] I'm just saying,
whatever dude is hiding from us
is worth a lot more than 50K.
We need to go see him. Now.
Pope. Hey, listen, buddy.
Um
- I think that's a damn good idea.
- [Cleo clapping]
- Bad man Pope.
- [Pope] Really?
- Yeah. Hell yeah, 50K my ass.
- Dude's cheating us for sure, right?
[John B] Let's go! Come on.
- Let's get in the bus.
- [Cleo] Let's get this money.
- [JJ] Kie.
- [Kiara] Mmm.
You almost died.
I should've never let you go down there.
Then who would've saved your life?
If I wasn't there,
he would have gotten you.
Okay. I saved you too.
You did.
["Cherry" by J.J. Cale playing]
Thank God.
You know, I really thought
things were different now.
But it really is
just us against the world, isn't it?
[JJ] Mm-hmm.
Us against the universe, more like.
And we're winning.
[Kiara chuckles]
We are.
♪I'd like to love you ♪
You're not too bad for a Kook, though.
[chuckling]
[Kiara sighs]
Someday I will take you away ♪
You know
we're in here for 12 hours.
[JJ] Mm-hmm.
What are we gonna do?
I'm sure we'll think of something.

[seagulls squawking]
If these people are willing
to kill for this amulet,
I wonder how much it's worth.
Okay. Let's show him the piece
and then, what, throw out a price?
A million dollars.
I like it.
[Sarah] Go big. My dad taught me that.
Wait a minute.
What the hell? Is that Shoupe?
[tense music playing]
No. No. We're gonna turn around.
- Don't.
- What? No.
Pope, you don't voluntarily
go towards cops.
I agree with John B. It's too risky.
If we run now,
we trigger the chase mechanism.
Just stay the course.
Okay. Okay.
[Pope] And here he comes.
[John B] Not afraid of cops.
- We didn't do anything wrong.
- I didn't.
- [Shoupe] There they are!
- [Pope] Shoupe.
[Shoupe chuckles] Great treasure hunters.
- Yeah.
- Bring it on in. Toss the line.
Oh, lucky me.
I was just coming to see ya.
Oh yeah? Why, uh
Why would you come to see us, Shoupe?
[indistinct radio chatter]
You know, uh, the old guy who lives here?
Who you talked to yesterday?
Yeah.
Okay. So you did talk to him?
- [sucks teeth]
- Yeah. Glad you confirmed that.
Well, that old guy is up there dead.
[music intensifies]
And, except for his son-in-law,
you were the last ones to see him.
[whispers] The curse?
So, uh, y'all ain't going anywhere.
Why don't you all just, uh, step on up?
We got a lot to talk about.
