[seagulls squawking]
[intriguing music continues]
[birds chirping]
[John B] It happened a few times
this summer.
[John B exhales]
A storm out over the Atlantic,
hundreds of miles away
[wind chime chiming]
sending ripples
right over the pond.
If you grew up on the Outer Banks,
you could just tell.
No matter where you were,
you could hear it.
["Spring Has Sprung" by Skegss playing]
[JJ] We're going to the beach!
Wakey-wakey, everybody!
[John B] It didn't matter
what you planned on doing that day.
[bell dings]
[John B] You hit the brake,
no matter what.
Yeah, baby, now that's a perfect swell.
It's probably the best of the year.
Come on.
Are you guys seriously surfing today?
Oh, don't. Don't.
As opposed to what?
Well, I don't wanna sell
the million dollars I have in my hand
for 50K,
so I'm gonna look into this.
Wait. Pope, you just heard me, right?
I said it's a perfect swell day.
- Yeah, and there'll be other swell days.
- [Kiara] Oh. Wow.
That's like saying
there's other pizza to eat, all right?
- Like, come on. Are you serious?
- Wow.
Listen to your Earth Mother, Pope.
She's, like, begging you to surf.
I think my Earth Mother
is telling me to maximize our intel.
Mine's telling me to maximize the swell.
You wanna maximize beach day?
- I'm gonna maximize this tan.
- Mmm.
- Okay, everyone have fun maximizing.
- Wait, wait. Hold on.
Wait, where where's Cleo?
- [Pope] Oh, yeah, she just texted me.
- Yeah.
She said that she was on Pogue patrol,
and she's looking for bait in The Cut.
- Lame. Tell her we're closed.
- [Pope] I'll text her right now.
Pope, hey, hey, rule number one,
Pope, is no working on a swell day.
- That's rule number one.
- Okay. Hey, somebody's gotta do this.
You guys have fun.
Catch a nasty one for me.
- [Sarah] Miss you already.
- Are you gonna meet us there?
[cell phone chimes]
[seagulls squawking]
[Terrance] What did I tell you?
Easy-peasy.
All the boys are down at the beach.
All we've got to do is mosey into shore
and snatch that trinket.
Yeah, if it's still there.
- [man shouts indistinctly]
- And if she talks.
You got her all clammed up.
Let me take a shot at her.
[tense music playing]
I'm just trying to be helpful.
[sighs]
[tense music continues]
[door opens]
- Shh. Shh.
- [Cleo moans]
I need you to listen to me.
Trust me, all right?
And I need you to be quiet.
[Cleo groans]
- Terrance!
- [Terrance] Shh. Shh.
I'm trying to help.
I was hired by these guys to take a run
and find some kind of trinket.
I didn't know that you was mixed up in it.
I thought you were dead.
Listen to me carefully.
Whatever it is you've got that they want,
you've gotta give it to 'em, C.
I talked them out of killing all of y'all.
So whatever you've got,
you've got to pull me up.
[hesitates] Wait, who are they?
Some bad, bad boys.
Ex-cons, mercenaries, killers.
If we are going to live, you gotta
give them what they're asking for, C.
- [man whistles] Terrance.
- Yes, sir. I'm coming.
- I just need you to trust me, all right?
- [Cleo] No, no, no.
- [Cleo moans]
- I got you. Trust me. Hey, what's up?
[music intensifies]
[door closes]
[seagulls squawking]
[Sofia] They were going on and on
about Hollis's big project at the bar.
Yeah, I mean, well,
they all went in on the deal,
but I guess Hollis just shut 'em out.
I know she doesn't like them.
[Sofia] Yeah, well, here's the thing.
What I hear is that
Hollis thinks they don't like you.
Oh, yeah.
Listen, all those smug-ass developers
who hang out at the club,
they all freaking hate me, all right?
They hated my dad too.
So, I'm not surprised.
[chainsaw whirring in distance]
Yeah, well, that's the thing.
I think that's why she offered it to you.
To stick it to them, you know?
Yeah
[Sofia] I don't know, Rafe.
I I'm just saying,
I think I might have been wrong.
This could be real.
[intriguing music playing]
[cell phone clicks]
[seagulls squawking]
I know you already,
you know, decided against it,
so you wouldn't do it, but
A little help?
I didn't say no for sure.
I told her I'd think about it, but
I could still do it.
[dog barking in distance]
[Sofia] I've kind of come around on it.
- [Rafe] Yeah?
- Yeah.
God, this is just landing
right in my lap, isn't it?
You could make
so much freaking money, Rafe.
All right. Well, I'm going to make
so much freaking money, then.
[Sofia chuckles]
[Rafe kissing]
["Uncontrollable Urge" by Devo playing]
[JJ] Pull up here on the left.
Come on.

[JJ screams]
[Sarah] Ooh.
He's got an uncontrollable urge ♪
I've got an uncontrollable urge ♪
Don't you just immediately feel like
life is better at the beach?
[JJ] Easy with her.
I've had this thing since I was three.
[grunts]
- [chuckles]
- [John B] Oh God. Half-baked Poguelandia.
- Get the board.
- [Sarah] It's gonna be great.
[JJ] Let's get these boards off.
- [John B] Oh boy.

[exhales] You're joking.
Don't stop.
Anywhere but here.
["Hell's Odyssey"
by Early Moods continues]
[girl 1 shouts]
[girl 2] Look.
Who's that chick?
Don't stop.
[men talking indistinctly]
[Kiara] Oh, you're joking.
Of course they stop here.
Why wouldn't they?
When there's an entire beach.
[Sarah] We were here first.
It's a waste of waves,
if you're asking me.
- [John B exhales]
- [Sarah] So lame.
- [Rafe] Let's go, baby.
- [girl 3 talking indistinctly]
[tense music playing]
[seagulls squawking]
["Western Playland" by Holy Wave playing]
[Sarah] Great. My brother's here.
[Topper] Let's go.
[indistinct chatter]
[JJ] Kie, don't worry.
He ain't getting near you.
I guarantee that.
Hey, y'all.
John B.
Sunshine's coming.
- What do you think he wants?
- [Kiara] What does he ever want?
- [Sarah] Don't let him antagonize you.
- I got him.
- Okay.
- [John B] I'm gonna be cool.
- [Sarah] I know. I know. Okay.
- I got it.
[waves crashing]
[Topper] What's up?
What up?
[Topper sighs]
Don't want any trouble out there.
Nah, nah. No need for that.
I'm just here to surf.
Great. Glad we cleared that up. [chuckles]
I think. I mean,
it's not me who usually starts anything.
Right, like, um,
when you burnt down my house?
Ah, dude, I'm I'm very sorry about that.
I I had nothing to do with it.
Right, totally.
Look, I came over here
to kind of bury the hatchet with you.
[John B] Mm-hmm.
I got no beef with you, all right?
We're just here to surf. We're cool?
Totally cool, man. Yeah.
Great.
Let's call it even, then?
[menacing music playing]
Top, do you
do you really think it's even?
I don't know, let's go down the list. Um
- You guys sunk my boat.
- Allegedly.
Then you cold-cocked me
and put me in the ER, remember that?
Did feel pretty good.
- Oh, it felt good?
- Yeah, it did, that.
Look, I was with her first, bro.
[hesitates] If your girl comes to me,
if she can't resist
- [John B] Mm-hmm.
- what am I gonna do?
I'm only human.
[menacing music continues]
- Just here to surf.
- I'm just trying to surf too, pal.
Glad we had this talk.
Good chat.
[seagulls squawking]
[girl] Go home, Pogues!
[boat engine revving]
[menacing music playing]
[seagull squawking]
You see the wheels turning, C?
Let's go get this trinket.
Then let's be on our way.

Stay here.
Keep the engine running.

[Cleo pants] Uh
[gun cocks]
[Cleo gasps]
Keep it cool.
[menacing music continues]
Closed for the day.
Oh, man, all I want is a little gas.
Come back another time.
[man 2] Come on, let's go.
[Cleo panting]
- Wait.
- [man 1] Hurry up.
[Cleo panting]
You listen to what he says, Cleo.
I don't want no trouble. Easy-peasy.
[menacing music intensifies]
[door opens]
What is it anyway?
- [door closes]
- What's it used for?
Don't worry about it. It's ours.
How could it be yours?
- It's been underwater for 300 years.
- Because it is. Shut up.
Where is it?
It's over here.
- [man 1] Where?
- [Cleo] In the kitchen.
[man 1] So find it.
[Cleo panting]
[cupboard closes]
[tense music playing]
[man 1] You think
I'm playing with you, huh?
Nope. My friends, they must have taken it.
Yeah? So where is it now?
They My friends must have moved it.
There's another spot.
I got another spot. Okay?
[man 1] Show me.
Where is it?
[Cleo panting] It's over here.
Just cool out.

Breathe. Breathe.
Breathe. Breathe.
I thought I told you to stay in the boat.
No.
[Cleo panting]
You kill her,
you're not going to get
what you came here for.
C, tell him. You're going to get him
that trinket, right?
My friends my friends must have taken it.

[Terrance] Trust me.
She's going to get you your trinket.
Ease up.
[Cleo panting]
- [thuds]
- [Cleo groans]
[tense music crescendos, stops]
Still dabbling in rare artifacts.
Well, that one kind of dabbled on us.
[Mr. Sunn] There's an inscription.
[Pope] Yeah, we actually
already have it translated. Check it out.
[upbeat music playing over radio]
"From the half-moon to the North Star
where the living and the dead collide."
"The gatekeeper will guide the way."
Half-moon to the North Star.
The living and the dead.
Gatekeeper.
- Sounds like directions.
- Yeah, but from what starting point?
I don't even know the country.
Most likely somewhere
Blackbeard himself had been. No?
Yeah, but that's half the globe.
- [Mr. Sunn] Mmm.
- [Pope] We do have a captain's log.
Got all the ports, all the places he went.
It's still all over the place.
Where do the living and the dead collide,
Mr. Heyward?
[hesitates] A cemetery?
A hospital? I don't know.
I mean, tsk, could be anywhere.
Okay. How about half-moon?
I thought it could maybe mean a time.
Like it was referring
to the lunar calendar or something?
Or a place?
Yeah, like, I thought Half Moon Bay,
maybe Half Moon Beach.
Looked into both of those. Real places,
but they have nothing to do
with Blackbeard. No connection.
If it were me, I'd check out
everywhere Blackbeard landed,
cross-reference with half-moon,
maybe you get lucky.
["Tail Chaser" by Gitkin playing]
[motorcycle engine revving]
[Shoupe] All right.
On the day Wes Genrette died,
you were at the house?
Earlier that night, yes.
But, uh, then I went out boating
with a a friend [chuckles]
up at the north end of Masonboro.
For the whole night?
We docked at the marina, so yeah.
- The whole night.
- All right.
[splutters] I'm sure there's some,
um, video footage at the marina or
You could do phone triangulation
or whatever it is you you do.
Appreciate that.
And what was it
Wes hired the kids to find?
- [sirens wailing]
- Exactly.
And I'll be asking the kids too,
just to verify.
Wes
and I know how this is gonna sound,
but Wes was convinced
that a trinket
that Blackbeard gave his wife Elizabeth
would somehow protect him from the curse.
So, he hired the kids to find it.
[Shoupe] Mm-hmm.
Mmm. Right.
[scoffs] Yeah.
I don't believe in that sort of thing,
but can you say he's wrong?
Look what happened.
Larissa died.
[exhales]
My baby.
And now Wes. [sighs]
It's just hard to believe
they're all gone.
[Shoupe] Right.
And who does the land go to?
[sucks teeth]
The land goes to the state.
I just I just want to get away.
[crying] I'm sorry. Sorry.
- [Groff sobbing]
- [Shoupe] I'll give you a moment.
- [sobbing]
- [door opens]
- [tense music playing]
- [Shoupe] Let's take a look here.
Let's see where he was that night.
9:15, North Mase.
- Checks out.
- [officer] Mmm.
[tense music fades]
Hey, uh, just one last question.
Um, before you left that night,
did you see anybody else at the house?
[inhales] I didn't, no.
Although, I think that those
those, uh, those people we hired
might've been in the area. But
Okay. Now, just just to clarify,
the kids he hired were close to the house
the night Wes Genrette died?
[tense music continues]
I think so.
Yeah.
[music intensifies]
I appreciate your time.

[tour guide] Blackbeard initiated a siege
on Charleston, South Carolina,
in May of 1718.
His fleet blockaded the harbor,
capturing ships and demanding supplies,
particularly medicine for his men,
many of whom were deathly ill.
The Governor of South Carolina resisted,
and it led to a tense standoff.
Ultimately, Blackbeard released
his hostages and fled.

All right?
I told them we're gonna be cool.
Yeah, but then they jumped in on you, bro.

all over our home base.
That doesn't seem fair, does it?
I mean, are you cool with that, Kelce?
It's kind of sad, bro.
- So weak.
- [Kelce exhales]
[all chuckling]
What'd you say?
[Ruthie] Hate to say it.
You're enabling, Topper.
That's why they have
a problem with you in the first place.
They know that they can
just run all over you.
Oh, they can run all over me.
That's funny, Ruthie.
[Ruthie] I'm about to buzz down there

You gonna make me go by myself?

Not today.
Kie, listen, I know I'm the last person
to say something like this,
but we need to be smart about this.
- I don't care.
- No. All right.
- Just outnumbered in this situation.
- I don't care!
Here she comes, guys.
On a warpath. Get ready.
Look what you did.
Is this okay?
No, look at it!
There was a turtle hatch, you idiots!
You drove right over it!
I understand you're upset, Kiara.
I'm more than upset, Topper.
[Ruthie] All right, but it was only one.
I mean, look,
there's so many more of them.
- A hatch is, what, like, 100 turtles?
- [Topper] I guess.
Most of 'em don't make it anyway.
[Topper] It's one in a thousand.
- [Ruthie] Go throw that to the seagulls.
- So?
Cycle of life, right?
- [Kiara] Cycle of life?
- Oh!
[shouting] Getting flattened by a truck
is not the cycle of life!
[seagulls squawking]
Your move, Kie.
What are you gonna do?
[Topper] I would just walk away.
Okay? We're not doing this.
There's something
seriously wrong with you people.
[menacing music continues]
[JJ] Let's go, Kiara. Come on.
Yeah, that's right.
Get back to your side, Kie!
- What the hell?
- Really?
You come near her,
or any of us ever again,

Well, I don't wanna sell

Yeah, but that's half the globe.

Like it was referring
to the lunar calendar or something?
Or a place?
Yeah, like, I thought Half Moon Bay,
maybe Half Moon Beach.
Looked into both of those. Real places,
but they have nothing to do
with Blackbeard. No connection.

- [sirens wailing]
- Exactly.
And I'll be asking the kids too,

Wes
and I know how this is gonna sound,
but Wes was convinced
that a trinket
that Blackbeard gave his wife Elizabeth
would somehow protect him from the curse.
So, he hired the kids to find it.

did you see anybody else at the house?

might've been in the area. But

that amulet right now,
they're gonna kill me.
[menacing music intensifies]
Cleo?
You have until 4:00 to bring the artifact.
[cell phone beeps]
Twenty-four minutes. Shit.
[panting]
[motorcycle engine revving]
[menacing music crescendos, stops]
[Kiara grunts]
Last board.
[JJ] Yeah, give me it.
[seagulls squawking]
- [John B] You got the other bungee cable?
- [JJ] Thought that was you.
[Kiara] Guys, there's a turtle hatch.
[JJ] What?
- [Kiara] There's a turtle hatch!
- [Sarah] Oh my God.
- [JJ] Yo.
- [Kiara laughs]
- [Kiara] Oh.
- [Sarah screeches]
[Sarah] Oh my God!
- [John B] Whoa. Holy shit.
- [Sarah] Oh
[laughs]
They're so little.
- [squeals]
- [John B] Look at these little nuggets!
[Kiara] Wait, back up. Give them
some space. You can't touch them.
We gotta make a path, right?
- [JJ] Yeah.
- Clear the way.
- [John B] Get these footprints out.
- Sarah, keep the gulls off.
I don't see any. Ah.
[indistinct chatter]
- [exhales] All right, solid day, bro.
- I don't know what JJ's deal was.
- That was bullshit jumping in on you.
- Classic, low-rent move.
Surf violence is violence, man.
[truck engine revving]
Instead of whining about it, let's drift.
Give them a taste of their own medicine.
- No, no. We're not doing that.
- [Ruthie] Are you afraid?
All right?
I told them we're gonna be cool.
Yeah, but then they jumped in on you, bro.
[Ruthie] Yeah, they stomped
all over our home base.
That doesn't seem fair, does it?
I mean, are you cool with that, Kelce?
It's kind of sad, bro.
- So weak.
- [Kelce exhales]
[all chuckling]
What'd you say?
[Ruthie] Hate to say it.
You're enabling, Topper.
That's why they have
a problem with you in the first place.
They know that they can
just run all over you.
Oh, they can run all over me.
That's funny, Ruthie.
[Ruthie] I'm about to buzz down there
and show them whose beach this is.
You gonna make me go by myself?
Or maybe one of these guys
wants to go with me instead.
[all chuckling]
Takers? Anyone, anyone, anyone?
[truck engine revving]
All right.
- Screw it.
- [Kelce] Yeah?
- [chuckles] That's what I thought.
- [Kelce] Let's go.
- Yeah!
- [Ruthie] You ready for this?
- Oh yeah, can't wait.
- [Ruthie] I'm ready.
[all cheering]
[truck accelerating]
[John B] We should make it like a highway.
- [JJ] A turtle highway.
- [Sarah] A turtle highway. Come on, kids!
[John B] Follow your human daddy
straight to the ocean-ocean.
[truck accelerating]
Hey!
Hey, stop. There's a hatch!
- Let's just get out of the way.
- No, I don't think so.
- Yo.
- [Kiara] Hey!
Hey. There's a hatch.
[Kiara and JJ screaming] Stop!
- Stop!
- Go around!
- Ruthie, go around them.
- Stop!
- Stop!
- [spluttering] Ruthie.
[Kiara screaming] Stop!
There's turtles! There's a hatch!
- [Kiara groans]
- [car honking]
[Kiara and JJ panting]
- [Ruthie laughing]
- Shit!
- Oh sh
- [men laughing]
[men cheering]
- Ruthie, this is
- [laughs]
[Ruthie] Oh my God. That was fun.
- [John B] What the hell was that?
- Are you okay?
Fucking assholes.
[John B] Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Oh my God.
You literally almost ran them over.
[truck accelerating]
Ruthie, what are you doing?
[truck engine revving]
- [John B] What are they doing?
- No. Hell no.
There's a hatch!
- [JJ and Kiara screaming] Hey! Stop!
- [car engine revving]
[JJ] Oh my God. They're coming. Hey!
[screaming] Stop!
- [JJ] Go back.
- [Kiara] Stop!
[Kiara and Sarah] Stop!
- [JJ] Look out!
- [Kiara] There's turt
- [Ruthie] Suck it, Pogues.
- [Sarah] Oh my God.
[truck accelerating]
[men gasping]
- [JJ] Hey.
- [Sarah] Kie, are you okay?
[Kiara panting]
- Are you okay?
- [John B] Kie.
- [girl] Go back to The Cut, Pogues!
- [Kelce] Let's go, baby!
[all cheering]
That's what I'm talking about, Top.
Come on, show them who we are.
- Where's your smile at, Top? Let's go.
- Nightmare.
Come on, bro.
Calm down. It's all good, baby.
We own this beach, all right?
Just like The Enduro.
[all cheering]
[somber music playing]
[Kiara gasps]
No, no, no, no.
[shudders]
[whimpers softly]
[Ruthie laughing]
[Ruthie talking indistinctly]
[Kiara sniffles]
I mean
[laughing]
[menacing music playing]
Stay here.
[JJ] Kie. W
Kie! Kie, listen.
- [John B] No, babe.
- [Sarah] What?
Not today.
Kie, listen, I know I'm the last person
to say something like this,
but we need to be smart about this.
- I don't care.
- No. All right.
- Just outnumbered in this situation.
- I don't care!
Here she comes, guys.
On a warpath. Get ready.
Look what you did.
Is this okay?
No, look at it!
There was a turtle hatch, you idiots!
You drove right over it!
I understand you're upset, Kiara.
I'm more than upset, Topper.
[Ruthie] All right, but it was only one.
I mean, look,
there's so many more of them.
- A hatch is, what, like, 100 turtles?
- [Topper] I guess.
Most of 'em don't make it anyway.
[Topper] It's one in a thousand.
- [Ruthie] Go throw that to the seagulls.
- So?
Cycle of life, right?
- [Kiara] Cycle of life?
- Oh!
[shouting] Getting flattened by a truck
is not the cycle of life!
[seagulls squawking]
Your move, Kie.
What are you gonna do?
[Topper] I would just walk away.
Okay? We're not doing this.
There's something
seriously wrong with you people.
[menacing music continues]
[JJ] Let's go, Kiara. Come on.
Yeah, that's right.
Get back to your side, Kie!
- What the hell?
- Really?
You come near her,
or any of us ever again,
and I'll come back
and kill every single one of you.
- [Ruthie] Was that a death threat?
- [Kelce] That was a death threat.
We've got you on video, bro.
I have seriously never hated them more.
I know.
[Topper] I don't know.
Topper, they threatened us.
We should press charges. I mean,
your grandfather, he's a judge, right?
Who are they going to believe, us or them?
We have to protect ourselves.
Okay.
[scoffs]
Unbelievable.
- I mean, did you see that?
- I saw it.
All good shit, Ruthie.
[menacing music continues]
[car door closes]
[car engine starts]
Not cool, Rafe.
- [Rafe] They deserve it.
- [Sofia] I wanna leave.
Now.
[motorcycle engine revving]
[uptempo tense music playing]
[Pope groans]
[vehicle beeping]
[Pope grunting]
[yelps]
- [uptempo tense music continues]
- [clock ticking]
He'll be here.
He will.
Look, I've been running with C
since she's 13.
I practically raised her.
I trust her with my life.
She said he's going to be here,
he's going to be here.
You'd better hope so.
Both of you.
[music intensifies]
[ticking]
[cell phone line ringing]
[John B] John B gone fishing. Leave one.
[cell phone beeps]
John B, where are you?
Get to Poguelandia now! Now!
- Shit!
- [woman 1] Oh my God!
Oh sh Sorry.
[grunting]
[groans, pants]
- [woman 2] Are you okay?
- My bad.
[groaning]
Sorry about your flowers.
[panting]
[liquid dripping]

[motorcycle engine revving]
[motorcycle engine stopping]
[Pope] You gotta be kidding me.
You gotta be kidding me!

- Time's up.
- No, Lightner, you don't want to do this.
- [gun cocks]
- She said they're coming.
[Lightner] It's too late.
- [Pope] Cleo!
- I told you.
- [Terrance] He's here!
- Pope.
- [Lightner] You're late.
- Put the gun down.
- [Lightner grunts]
- [Terrance] Put it down!
[Lightner and Pope grunting]
- [Cleo] No, Terrance!
- [Terrance] Cleo, get down!
[gun fires]
- Give me the gun. Give it to me.
- [Lightner grunting]

[Cleo] Terrance.

No, no, no, no.
Terrance. Terrance. Terrance.
Terrance! [mumbling]
Don't Stay with me.
Stay with me!
[panting]
[screaming] Pope! Help me!
Terrance. Terrance. Terrance.
[screaming] Pope!
Pope, help me!
- No, no.
- [Pope] Let go. Let go.
[Cleo crying]

[dramatic music continues]
[boat engine revving]
[dramatic music ends]
Just every time, like,
every single time we see them,
something goes wrong.
Like, we can't do anything
without them getting triggered.
Kie, Kie, they're Kooks. Okay?
[Sarah] Are you sure
you don't wanna try following someone?
[John B talking indistinctly]
[Kiara] Hey.
[birds cawing]
[somber music playing]
- Yo.
- Hi.
How'd it go?
- Pope.
- What is that?
Is that blood?
- Pope, whose blood is that?
- [JJ] Pope.
Pope, what happened?
- Pope, what happened?
- Where's Cleo?
She's she's inside.
[Kiara] Cleo.
- [Sarah] Cleo!
- Pope, what's going on?
[somber music continues]
[Pope panting] He called me.
He said I had till 4:00.
I came as fast as I could. I got there,
he had the gun right in her face.
[panting] And Terrance, he
[inhales, exhales]
I wish I could've done something
Hey, hey. Listen to me.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
- You did all you could, bro.
- [exhales]
You're good, man. Just breathe.
[panting]
You're all right.
[inhales, exhales]
Damn it.
I did figure something out
at the Blackbeard museum
before he took the amulet.
That translation.
I think I know what it means.
The blockade of Charleston.
[tense music playing]
Blackbeard unloaded something
at the Half Moon Battery.
He hid something in Charleston.
So, why Charleston?
I don't know.
[music intensifies]
Whoever these people are,
they have the amulet.
But I bet they haven't figured out
how to translate it yet.
[truck engine revving]
Oh shit.
[door opens, closes]
We've got a big problem. Shoupe's here.
Hold that thought. Hold that thought.
- [JJ panting]
- [Sarah] Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Um, why's he here?
He's just sitting in his car.
- Guys
- [JJ] Oh shit.
[John B] Okay. Okay. Okay.
- [JJ] Shit. Shit. Shit.
- Okay. Okay. Okay.
[Kiara spluttering] Um, what do we do?
[female officer] Shoupe, we've got a 10-50
at 217 North Lake Street.
Copy that. Uh, Shoupe here.
I'm at Maybank's property.
I'm not gonna be able
to take care of that right now.
[tense music continues]
We have a dead body in our living room.
- What are we gonna do?
- Shit, Pope.
What do you mean?
We have to tell the truth.
- [JJ] Are you kidding me?
- [Kiara] We did nothing wrong.
- Someone broke into our house!
- Kie, it's Shoupe.
- And attacked us and stole from us.
- He's never gonna believe us.
[female officer] 10-97.
Situation under control.
[JJ] What we need to do is
get out of here. We need to banana split.
[Kiara] Go where? That never works.
Okay. I don't know,
but it's better than staying here.
Number one rule, never trust a cop.
Especially that one.
Okay?
[Shoupe] JJ! Anybody home?
John B, what do you wanna do?
- We did nothing wrong.
- [knocking at door]
[music intensifies]
[indistinct police radio chatter]
[JJ] Okay.
I need you to make a decision right now.
What's it gonna be?
[knocking at door]
[knocking at door]
I know you're in there. Come on out.
