The Lupine Corsairs
1
["Boogar Sugre" by BROS playing]
[John B] Is this okay for you?
Yeah, have a seat.
So y'all were just puttering along
and you happened to stop by here?
He hired us. I told you that.
Wes Genrette, who could hire anyone,
hired you bozos?
Well, hard to believe or not, we did find
El Dorado, so our track record is
[sucks teeth]
Did I say you did anything?
Well, then why are we here locked up
like we've done something suspicious?
Oh God, you're not locked up.
Princess Cameron, stop exaggerating.
Do you really think we'd stick around here
if we did something?
Maybe you were just trying to be clever.
I mean,
if I thought y'all were capable of that.
No, man, we just walked into it.
You have us talking separately
like this is an interrogation.
- [Cleo] Mm-hmm.
- Is this a crime scene?
- Why would you ask me that?
- Well, you're talking to me, and I'm here.
Okay, I'll just have to get you
a junior detective badge.
No, not a crime scene, not yet.
I'm just getting ahead of it.
- What's that mean?
- You're disaster magnets, all right?
That's what that means, and you know it.
When it comes to trouble, we are
a few standard deviations off the mean.
- If you were to put it on a graph.
- Pope, stop trying to confuse me.
- Math confuses you?
- Are you poking fun at me?
- No, I'm not making fun of you.
- So you go see Genrette.
- And then what happened?
- He was talking about some little tingy.
- Like a necklace ting.
- The old man thought he was cursed.
- Cursed?
- I don't know, Shoupe.
He said he was cursed.
And you believe it?
- Do I look crazy to you?
- I believe he felt like he was.
If he finds the amulet,
it will break the curse.
Gonna pay us 50,000 to find it.
- But, uh, he's dead today.
- [clattering]
[Shoupe] Can you not touch
anything on the mantle?
- [Sarah] Sorry.
- It's an active area of investigation.
- So, when you got here, what was he like?
- He was talking about his daughter a lot.
- Um, her.
- I'm aware. I knew her.
- Oh.
- We all did. You know, a small island.
- [Sarah] Mmm.
- [Shoupe] So, uh
The the trinket,
did y'all have any luck finding that?
- No.
- No.
- Hell no.
- Wish we did.
Bet you do.
[birds chirping]
[Cleo] That was a close call.
Being around cops makes me nervous.
- [Sarah] Oh shit, he's right behind us.
- [Pope] Shh. Quiet. Sorry.
Now make sure you don't wander off
too far now, you hear?
[Sarah] Yes, sir.
[Cleo] You guys gotta admit,
that was weird.
[John B] Yeah, the old man said
he was gonna get got by the ghost,
and he got got, so
[Sarah] Yeah, but is it murder
if the killer's dead?
No, we're not entertaining that.
There's no way this guy died
from what's-her-face ghost, okay?
He probably just died from,
like, old people stuff.
Yeah, like carpal tunnel.
- Like eczema.
- [Pope] Or, you know, osteoporosis.
Oh.
Hey.
[Cleo] Hey.
We're sorry to hear about your loss,
Mr. Groff.
Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate it.
[shudders]
It's, um [chuckles]
It's been a shock.
[somber music playing]
I, uh I know Wes made a deal with you.
I intend to honor it.
If you come up with anything, let me know.
For Wes's sake.
[chuckles, inhales]
We'll let you know if we find anything.
Please do.
- I'd like to get out of here.
- [Pope] Yeah.
[Sarah] Okay.
[somber music continues]
[Cleo and Pope talking indistinctly]
[boat engine revving]
Just when you thought
it couldn't get any weirder.
Yeah, the old man dies,
and Groff still wants the amulet?
What do you think, John B?
There's a lot more going on
that we don't know about.
["Trip Inside This House"
by Magic Shoppe playing]
[music ends]
- [Pope] Well, it is breaking.
- [Cleo] I had science, Pope.
You are a mad scientist.
- Where did you learn how to do this?
- Chemical reactions. Chemistry.
- I was in chemistry.
- [Pope] We didn't take the same chemistry.
- What?
- [Sarah chuckles]
- I think it's ready.
- [John B] Oh.
Oh, the barnacles are gone.
- Oh, wow.
- Would you look at that?
That's gold-gold.
Look at that right there.
- Don't touch.
- What?
That's nitric acid.
It's probably worth something.
- This is so intricate.
- See the writing on it?
[Pope] Yeah. Whoa. Hold on.
This
[metal creaking]
That's Hebrew. I'm pretty sure.
No. I think it's Arabic.
- The way the squiggles go that way.
- Right.
We should figure out what it says if
so many people are willing to die over it.
- Anybody read Arabic?
- [John B] Hold on, I know a guy.
Well, I don't know a guy,
but my dad knew a guy.
This Muslim dude, they used to play
pool together. He lives down off Bayline.
Just be vague about what that is, please.
- Yeah.
- [Cleo] No hints.
- We'll go get Kie and JJ.
- [Sarah] Okay.
[upbeat music playing]
[birds cawing]
[Rafe] I don't know
about this Hollis deal.
Somebody should have heard something,
but nobody I know has heard shit.
[Sofia] Really? That's weird.
I don't know.
I was all amped for a second there,
but it's gotta be
some kind of scam, right?
How much does she want?
400K.
400?
I mean, it'd be a stretch, you know?
Not that it wouldn't be worth it.
I mean, a development like that,
it's gotta be worth
hundreds of millions, at least.
[tense music playing]
Okay.
She must think I'm stupid.
I've seen the way they look at me
at the club, right? Whispering.
I know they say things about me.
Not in front of me, they don't.
Because if they did, I'd have to, um,
scratch their eyes out or something.
And honestly,
I'm glad you're onto her, 'cause, um
I don't trust her.
Oh yeah? I think you're a little jealous.
- Jealous?
- Yeah. Jealous.
- No.
- Cougar on the prowl?
[laughs]
I'm not an idiot.
They think I'm an idiot, but
they'll see how Camerons do business.
- Are you good?
- All good.
[tense music builds, ends]
[woman over PA]
Nursing Supervisor to Admitting.
[door opens]
[woman over PA] Can we get
- [man] Hi.
- Oh my gosh.
- I had an accident. I need some stitches.
- How'd you manage that?
- I fell on some farm equipment.
- Let me get you something.
Here, apply pressure.
I need your ID, local address,
and proof of insurance.
[nurse] Two knuckleheads
in the hyperbaric right now.
Night diving at Teach's Hole.
How dumb can you be?
Tell me about it.
All right, you're all set.
She'll take you into the ER.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on, we got a room ready.
[tense music playing]
Sir, come with me.
The room is this way.
Sir, we have a room ready
for you down here.
Let's give them some privacy. Come on.
[tense music builds]
Kie.
- Kie, wake up.
- [moans]
Kie, wake up. Hey, look at me.
- Hey. Listen.
- What?
There was a guy in the hall just now.
I think it was the guy.
The dude from the wreck.
'Cause he had a wound.
- Right where I got him with the spear gun.
- Did he see you?
Yeah.
- So, he knows we're here.
- Yeah. We've got to get out.
[Kiara] We gotta go.
Wait. Ma'am.
- JJ, no, don't.
- Ma'am. Miss.
Hello! Ma'am. Is there anyone out there?
Ma'am. Hello.
[muffled] Hey! Ma'am. Come here.
Ma'am, there was a dude
in the hall just now.
I'm sorry. It's only a few more minutes.
That man tried to kill us, okay?
[muffled] He tried to kill us.
I can't hear you.
[JJ] No. Ma'am.
- Ma'am!
- [grunting]
- Call security.
- Can you help me with the door?
[nurse] Calm down.
All right? Just breathe.
[inhales] Breathe.
- Ma'am, I need you to call security.
- JJ, help me.
She's not letting us out. Just help.
[nurse] Just relax, okay?
You're almost done.
Hey, wait! Ma'am. Please, listen to me.
[Kiara] Please help me.
We have to get out.
- Help me with the door.
- Okay.
- Two, one, go.
- [both grunting]
- Come on.
- [Kiara] Shit.
Why are none of these open?
- Kie, Kie, I know. Deep breath. Okay?
- I'm freaking out. I'm freak
- We have to go.
- [JJ] Calm down.
We're going to figure this out.
[panting] Oh my God.
Wait a minute.
I've got an idea. All right?
This is not my best idea.
- Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
["Changes" by Los Muertos
playing over radio]
[Sarah] Wow, John B. Thanks so much.
Pretty opulent engagement gift.
- Do you like it?
- Well, it's no bandana.
It's shiny, though. I like shiny.
I would expect nothing less from you,
Sarah Cameron.
Sarah Routledge.
I am married, you know. But
Oh no.
- Oh no, nothing to show for it. [laughs]
- No.
- Okay, okay.
- What's wrong with this picture?
How about when we get
the 50K for this little doohickey
- [chuckles]
- then we, uh, we get you a ring?
You know I'm joking.
- It's fine.
- No. We're gonna get a real one.
- What do you think?
- All right. Deal.
[John B spits]
Ah, the old spit shake.
[music stops]
All right. Let's do this.
[Sarah] Let's go translate some Arabic.
[imam] Prayer is not for another hour.
Sorry?
If you're here
to make an offer on the place,
just turn right around,
'cause I'm not selling.
Oh no. Actually, we came to ask
for your help with something.
Yeah, uh, you used to know my father
back in the day?
[intriguing music playing]
- Big John Routledge.
- Oh.
Sorry to hear
what happened to your father.
Thank you.
Come on.
- [JJ grunting]
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[JJ grunting] Come on.
Oh, Lord. This is a lot deeper
than I thought it was.
- I don't need these stitches anymore.
- [nurse] Oh, yes, you do.
Now how did you say you did this?
[spluttering] I did it on a farm.
Kick it harder. Kick it.
[JJ panting]
[alarm blaring]
- [man] Security to hyperbaric chamber.
- What the heck?
[man over PA]
Security, hyperbaric chamber.
[nurse scoffs]
You're welcome.
[JJ] One second. One second.
[Kiara] Come on.
- [JJ grunts]
- Why don't you get the door?
What the Security! We got a runner.
All right, I'm gonna buy you some time.
Meet me outside.
- What do you mean?
- [JJ] Oh my God, my brain!
We were in there way too long.
No, you microwaved me.
What are you trying to do?
Fry me like chicken? No, no.
All this movement is not good for him.
- [man 1] Settle down.
- [nurse] You had to relax.
He was basically done
until he lost his mind.
You know what?
You gentlemen take me out of here.
I gotta make a phone call.
- I'm gonna file a formal complaint.
- [nurse] You were done.
- Okay? File a formal complaint.
- [nurse] Yeah, yeah.
- Have your people call my people.
- He wants a file.
- [man 1] Sir
- [JJ] You're gonna hear from me real soon.
Get off. They're gonna break you.
There's a spider on you right there.
[man 2 grunts]
- [man 1] Sir.
- [nurse] Don't let him bite you.
He's a wild one.
[man 1] Hey, hey.
Hold up, let them handle it.
[panting]
[telephone ringing]
[tense music playing]
[inhales]
[man talking indistinctly over PA]
[Cleo] Jesus Christ.
- How do you climb up a tree in a hospital?
- [panting] Guys.
Uh, where's JJ?
JJ's coming. Drive. Go!
[tires screeching]
[Cleo and Kiara] Come on!
- [Pope] Come on.
- [Cleo] Get in.
- [truck engine revving]
- Are we good?
- [JJ] Yeah. Go, Pope.
- [Cleo] Are you guys okay?
Yeah. So you know that guy that was down
at the wreck that tried to kill us?
He was there.
- At the hospital with you?
- [Kiara and JJ] Yes.
He was getting stitched up
where I got him with the harpoon gun.
I got this. I swiped his file.
It's got an address.
Downtown Pelican somewhere.
- What are we supposed to do with that?
- What do you mean? Pay him a visit.
[JJ] Exactly.
We find out who this goon is, Po.
Four against one?
I mean, I think we could take him.
- Or get there first and just scope it out.
- I'll be ready for him this time.
[imam] Oh yes, Kufic.
Nobody's used this for hundreds of years.
Is that something you can read?
[acoustic guitar playing]
"From the half-moon to the North Star,
where the living and dead collide."
"The gatekeeper will guide the way."
It kinda sounds like directions.
[imam] Wait, there's more on the back.
"From Edward to Elizabeth."
Edward and Elizabeth.
Where'd you get this?
That is a family heirloom.
[imam] What family?
Edward Teach?
[John B] Um
Blackbeard and his wife Elizabeth?
I'm actually a direct descendant
of Edward Teach
This is cursed.
What?
I can't help you.
- Well, um
- [imam] Get out.
- I
- Go. Now.
- Okay.
- I said, get out.
[Sarah] Sorry.
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds, subsides]
You wanted to see me?
All right, check it out.
Strangulation marks here and here.
This wasn't a heart attack.
Are you saying Genrette was murdered?
Well, it's pretty tough
to strangle yourself.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is where
it really gets interesting.
Come over here.
The sandman here
seems to have
similar marks on both sides of his neck.
Look there
and there.
Same bruise marks. Same hand size.
Same position.
So, we have to assume it was the same guy.
Who else you tell about this?
Just these two and you.
Appreciate your discretion.
- [car door closes]
- [dog barking]
[men talking indistinctly]
- [upbeat music playing on the radio]
- [girl] Sofia!
Ven aquí, chamaca.
Uy, cómo vas, ¿bien?
- Estoy bien.
- Estás bien grande.
Hola, mami.
[man talking in Spanish on TV]
- Hi, Dad.
- [man] Hey, Sofia.
[door knocking]
- Hey, honey.
- Hey, Dad.
[dog barking in distance]
- Um
- What happened?
How's, uh, Rafe?
Good.
- Why? What is it?
- [inhales]
Come outside.
Real quick.
[man talking in Spanish on TV]
- [Sofia] Did he do something?
- No. No, no, no, nothing.
Um
Just
I talked to a friend
from our side of things.
Uh, and she's really helped me a lot.
And I kinda owe her,
so she wanted me to ask you to help her
with Rafe.
[intriguing music playing]
In what way?
If you could maybe give Rafe
a little nudge
on a deal they're trying to make,
she'd pay you.
Who is this? Who's offering?
Is it that real estate lady?
It doesn't matter
if you're not gonna do it.
[splutters] I didn't even want to say it
because it seems, uh
Dishonest, Dad.
I'm not gonna go scamming
behind my boyfriend's back.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
You're a good girl.
How'd that happen, huh?
["Mumbo Sugar" by Arc De Soleil playing]
[Cleo] Are you sure
this is the right place?
This is the pier.
[JJ] It was the address
that was in the file.
But he probably just gave a fake address.
That's what I would've done.
You guys really think he's here?
I don't know. But I need some fresh air.
Anyone, fresh air?
Might as well take a look around.
- [Pope] Have fun.
- [JJ] Oh, we will.
We'll hold down the fort.
So, what's our plan
if we actually find this killer?
Run. That's I'm kidding, all right?
We detain, extract, investigate.
How are we gonna detain?
Uh, I mean, we, like,
sneak up on him, like, spy-like.
[Kiara] Okay, I like it.
- So, we're undercover.
- Exactly.
- Just act like we're on a date.
- [JJ] Yeah.
[Kiara] If you know what that looks like.
What do you mean,
"If I know what that looks like"?
I mean, we've never been on a date.
We've been on a date.
- When?
- I mean [scoffs]
Name one.
Just one.
- We're on a date right now.
- [Kiara] Okay.
- We're on a date. Doing date things.
- We're on a date.
Just a normal couple
strolling on the pier.
Exactly.
So, we've got a little time on our hands.
What do you think we should do?
We should probably, like, you know,
run a stakeout, do surveillance,
take note of any suspicious activity,
and probably make sure
Kie and JJ are okay.
- I was thinking
- Watch their back.
maybe another idea.
That would kinda defeat the purpose
of surveillance, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
["Sexy Weekend" by Scoundrels playing]
Well, I might as well make the best
Of this situation while I'm here ♪
[tense music playing]
[Cleo] Oh my God. Pope.
- [Pope] Yeah.
- That's the guy.
- [Pope] What?
- Just look.
He's got a bandage on his arm.
That's gotta be him.
We've gotta warn them. Let's go.
Shit.
You think two spies
would maybe get a snow cone?
I think they would.
[Kiara] Snow cones.
Whatever flavor. Surprise me.
[music intensifies]
- Hey.
- [woman] Success?
Figured it all out?
Not yet. I'm getting close.
Tell me.
There was someone else down at the wreck.
Wait. Who's that lady he's talking to?
[Cleo] I've got no idea.
Let's find out.
Thank you, sir.
- All done.
- Yep.
- Cheers.
- [vendor] Enjoy.
- Careful, Pope.
- [grunts]
[grunting]
[panting]
Okay.
You know the next move?
It shouldn't be too hard.
I nicked the name of their boat.
The Snapper.
The Snapper.
Hey. You. Get out of there.
- Let's go.
- [Cleo] Hey.
Uh, he just dropped his phone.
His granny got it for him.
Come on. Just give us a second.
[man] I think I know who it is.
I got a look at them
in the decompression tank at the hospital.
The same ones I saw underwater.
And you're sure they have the piece?
They have the piece.
But not for long.
And after that? The Blue Crown.
[laughs]
"Blue Crown"?
Of course, we don't need details.
It'll get done.
I'm sure it will.
[birds cawing]
[tense music builds]
[Kiara] So, should we jump off this thing?
[JJ] Whoa. No.
[Kiara] Come on.
It'll be fun after being cooped up.
Okay. I will if you will.
Is, uh, that a dare?
- [JJ] Sure. As a matter of fact, it is.
- [Kiara] Okay, then.
- [JJ] I guess we gotta get up there.
- [Kiara] Okay.
- [JJ] Okay.
- [Kiara] Let's do it.
- [JJ exhales]
- Ooh.
[tense music continues]
[Kiara] All right.
[JJ] Okay. Are we doing this?
- [exhales]
- I'm up here, aren't I?
One, two
- three.
- Three.
[both cheering]
[whooping]
[JJ] Oh man, we've actually done it.
[Kiara panting] We did it!
- [JJ pants] Okay.
- [Kiara] Oh my God.
[Kiara and JJ talking indistinctly]
[Kiara laughs]
Whoo!
- Bring it in. Come on.
- [Cleo] JJ. Kiara.
We gotta go now.
We saw the guy. He's up there on the pier.
- [Kiara] Shit.
- [Pope] Come on.
- Hurry.
- [Cleo] We've seen him.
[tense music playing]
[Cleo] Come on. We gotta go.

[Sarah] "Elizabeth Teach was enslaved
by Barbary pirates in a coastal city
in what is now Morocco."
[birds chirping]
"And later freed from her captors
by a young Edward Teach,
who became known as Blackbeard."
[telephone ringing]
[intriguing music continues]
[police radio chattering indistinctly]
- Hey, Carl.
- Yeah, boss.
[Shoupe] Yeah, something's not right
about this.
Can you get Chandler Groff back in here
for another round of questioning?
[Carl] Yes, sir.
Thanks.
[intriguing music intensifies]
[birds cawing]
Rafe's bike. There you are.
[Topper] You're not gonna believe this.
One of the lots
that they're changing the zoning on
- Yeah?
- JJ's house.
Poguelandia or whatever
stupid thing they call it.
So?
So if they change the zoning,
they have to shut down
their little bullshit business.
Right? Unless they can fight the ruling,
which betting those broke-ass Pogues
don't have the money to fight it.
Yeah. Well, listen, my
my sister was always terrible with money.
I'm not surprised. [slurps]
So once they default on fines or
or whatever,
with this friend of my mom's,
we're gonna offer to buy them out.
And then I got this little side deal
going on with my grandfather
that he's going to rule on
to just make this thing bulletproof, baby.
[both chuckling]
You see what I'm saying?
- Look at you being like a mogul and shit.
- Uh? This is my shit.
- I've got it figured out. Screw medicine.
- Screw medicine.
- You can't make any money.
- No, you can't make money.
Babe, I was just telling Rafe
how we're gonna screw the Pogues
and make a mint.
Oh, I will drink to that.
Not sure Rafe will, though.
[upbeat music playing over stereo]
- What's that supposed to mean?
- [Ruthie] I mean your girlfriend, right?
[Rafe] Sofia? What about her?
She's pretty Pogue, isn't she?
Listen, just 'cause we hook up
doesn't mean she's my girlfriend, okay?
[Ruthie] Right. I'm just saying
you sure are together a lot.
Wait, has she moved in yet?
I'm not living with a Pogue.
- [Ruthie] I'd hope not.
- [Rafe] I have standards.
[Ruthie] Oh, do you?
[Rafe] Sorry, we were interrupted.
Can you run this by me again?
- What charts are you on?
- [Topper] This guy, you know Dale Zeasy

[frogs croaking]
"Where the living and dead collide,
the gatekeeper will guide the way."
- [Sarah] Sounds like a Bible verse.
- [Cleo] It's like some fable.
To me, it still sounds like directions.
Yeah, but to what?
Well, I mean,
Genrette was obsessed with Blackbeard,
so maybe directions to his treasure?
And how much would that be in American?
Um, in almost every major currency,
I think it's considered priceless.
Unlimited US dollars.
- Tempting.
- So, what is this treasure?
- Gold?
- [Pope] No, wait a minute.
I remember on the pier,
the diver was talking to some lady
about something.
It wasn't gold.
It was like a like a a crown.
A blue crown.
- A blue crown?
- [Sarah] A blue crown, Pope?
I don't know.
I'm just relaying information I heard.
[Kiara] What else did they say?
[Pope] I was hanging
from the bottom of a pier.
- Okay, wait a minute.
- [Kiara] All you heard was "blue crown"?
[Pope] I heard blue crown,
and it sounded important.
[JJ] Or it could be code
for something, like a clue.
It could lead us to something.
That's what it is.
Honestly, what even is a blue crown?
Apparently, it is the most
sought out artifact in the ancient world.
[intriguing music playing]
What?
I don't believe
I am capping on this one, Pope.
- Look at this.
- [JJ] I'm interested.
Right here.
[Sarah] What is that?
"Legends abound
of the Crown's fabled origins."
So it's a real crown.
Okay, page
Right here. Look.
- That's what Genrette wanted.
- [Pope] A literal blue crown.
- It's a blue crown.
- [John B] Listen.
"The Blue Crown was created
for Darius the Great of Persia
over 3,000 years ago."
Looks more than 50K, I'll say that.
"It was said to possess
the blessing of the gods themselves,
granting the wearer
immense favor and rare invincibility."
Holy shit. Look at this.
It says Xerxes,
the son of Darius the Great,
he was a badass. He's wearing it.
Uh, Alexander the Great
beat the shit out of everybody.
He's wearing it.
Julius Caesar, also a badass.
- Murdered a bunch of people.
- So, your dad told you all of this?
No, no. I don't remember any of this.
I just know that it granted wishes.

No questions asked. Cash.

We gotta go now.
We saw the guy. He's up there on the pier.
- [Kiara] Shit.
- [Pope] Come on.
- Hurry.
- [Cleo] We've seen him.
[tense music playing]
[Cleo] Come on. We gotta go.

[Sarah] "Elizabeth Teach was enslaved
by Barbary pirates in a coastal city
in what is now Morocco."
[birds chirping]
"And later freed from her captors
by a young Edward Teach,
who became known as Blackbeard."

- Yeah, boss.
[Shoupe] Yeah, something's not right

Can you get Chandler Groff back in here

[Carl] Yes, sir.
Thanks.

[birds cawing]
Rafe's bike. There you are.
[Topper] You're not gonna believe this.
One of the lots
that they're changing the zoning on
- Yeah?
- JJ's house.
Poguelandia or whatever
stupid thing they call it.
So?
So if they change the zoning,
they have to shut down
their little bullshit business.
Right? Unless they can fight the ruling,
which betting those broke-ass Pogues
don't have the money to fight it.
Yeah. Well, listen, my
my sister was always terrible with money.
I'm not surprised. [slurps]
So once they default on fines or
or whatever,
with this friend of my mom's,
we're gonna offer to buy them out.
And then I got this little side deal
going on with my grandfather
that he's going to rule on
to just make this thing bulletproof, baby.
[both chuckling]
You see what I'm saying?
- Look at you being like a mogul and shit.
- Uh? This is my shit.
- I've got it figured out. Screw medicine.
- Screw medicine.
- You can't make any money.
- No, you can't make money.
Babe, I was just telling Rafe
how we're gonna screw the Pogues
and make a mint.
Oh, I will drink to that.
Not sure Rafe will, though.
[upbeat music playing over stereo]
- What's that supposed to mean?
- [Ruthie] I mean your girlfriend, right?
[Rafe] Sofia? What about her?
She's pretty Pogue, isn't she?
Listen, just 'cause we hook up
doesn't mean she's my girlfriend, okay?
[Ruthie] Right. I'm just saying
you sure are together a lot.
Wait, has she moved in yet?
I'm not living with a Pogue.
- [Ruthie] I'd hope not.
- [Rafe] I have standards.
[Ruthie] Oh, do you?
[Rafe] Sorry, we were interrupted.
Can you run this by me again?
- What charts are you on?

"Where the living and dead collide,
the gatekeeper will guide the way."
- [Sarah] Sounds like a Bible verse.
- [Cleo] It's like some fable.
To me, it still sounds like directions.
Yeah, but to what?
Well, I mean,
Genrette was obsessed with Blackbeard,
so maybe directions to his treasure?
And how much would that be in American?
Um, in almost every major currency,
I think it's considered priceless.
Unlimited US dollars.
- Tempting.
- So, what is this treasure?
- Gold?
- [Pope] No, wait a minute.
I remember on the pier,
the diver was talking to some lady
about something.
It wasn't gold.
It was like a like a a crown.
A blue crown.
- A blue crown?
- [Sarah] A blue crown, Pope?
I don't know.
I'm just relaying information I heard.
[Kiara] What else did they say?
[Pope] I was hanging
from the bottom of a pier.
- Okay, wait a minute.
- [Kiara] All you heard was "blue crown"?
[Pope] I heard blue crown,
and it sounded important.
[JJ] Or it could be code
for something, like a clue.
It could lead us to something.
That's what it is.
Honestly, what even is a blue crown?
Apparently, it is the most
sought out artifact in the ancient world.
[intriguing music playing]
What?
I don't believe
I am capping on this one, Pope.
- Look at this.
- [JJ] I'm interested.
Right here.
[Sarah] What is that?
"Legends abound
of the Crown's fabled origins."
So it's a real crown.
Okay, page
Right here. Look.
- That's what Genrette wanted.
- [Pope] A literal blue crown.
- It's a blue crown.
- [John B] Listen.
"The Blue Crown was created
for Darius the Great of Persia
over 3,000 years ago."
Looks more than 50K, I'll say that.
"It was said to possess
the blessing of the gods themselves,
granting the wearer
immense favor and rare invincibility."
Holy shit. Look at this.
It says Xerxes,
the son of Darius the Great,
he was a badass. He's wearing it.
Uh, Alexander the Great
beat the shit out of everybody.
He's wearing it.
Julius Caesar, also a badass.
- Murdered a bunch of people.
- So, your dad told you all of this?
No, no. I don't remember any of this.
I just know that it granted wishes.
Grants wishes?
- What, like a genie?
- [Kiara] How many wishes?
Hold on. It says right here,
"The crown was lost sometime in the 1700s,
but was rumored to be hunted down by"
- Who?
- [Kiara] Who?
Who, John B?
- Blackbeard.
- What?
- Come again?
- [Sarah] That's crazy.
- There's no way.
- It's right there. Look.
"Hunted by Blackbeard."
[JJ] Come on. We're doing this.
I know we're doing it, all right?
- [Sarah] What other choice do we have?
- Priceless or 50K?
- Are we really doing this again?
- [JJ] Priceless!
[Sarah] Would it be like
astrology or something?

Sofia, I feel like
we got off on the wrong foot.
I know your father.
He's a good man.
And I just want to say right off,
I know that this is unorthodox,
but I am not asking you
to do anything that is illegal.
It's not even unethical.
You'd just be helping me
help Rafe make a good decision.
[shaky breathing]
How much?
[tense music playing]
Twenty-five, dear.
No questions asked. Cash.
If the deal happens, you get the money.
- Hollis.
- [Hollis] Mm-hmm?
[Sofia] This is a swindle, isn't it?
Rafe's the mark.
If you really had a good island,
you wouldn't need him.
Oh, honey. Bless your heart.
I'm just looking out for him
after his daddy died.
Ward and I were good friends.
Goat Island is a bonanza.
I promise.
[tense music continues]
[Hollis] Keep this.
It's yours.
Just help me help him.
You think the Kooks
are gonna give you anything?
You should get what you can while you can.
Because you know where I grew up, right?
On the Cut.
About a quarter mile from your house.
Look at me now.
You can choose to have
this kind of life, you know.
Choose it.
As soon as Rafe firms up,
you'll get the rest.

your hair on fire. We do not
