Impossible!

Why not? I'll show you.

No signal.

They must be fakes!

We've got the real ones. Right?

If fakes could fetch a fortune,

how much will the real ones worth?

They must be priceless!

And now Now a word of advice.

Don't change with the lights on.

Why not?

Look.

Just now I was

I didn't see anything.

Honest!

We saw nothing.

Don't turn on the satellite receiver.

What? Lizard!

It's just a lizard.

Where are you going?

I'm going up.

But JC

But JC told us not to move.

Do as you like.

Wait for me!

How long?

NOW!

Look at you.

What? It's just my make-up bag!

Whatever.

What's wrong with you two?

Still in a stand-off.

If it is not for my child,

I'd have left him long ago.

What about you?

She is still not answering my call.

I was only three days late for her birthday.

Why so mad about it?

Where are you going?

This way.

How do you know?

Instinct!

Whatever.

Oh my god!

The trees on this island,

must be kept secret from those lumberjacks.

If not, none will be spared.

Now you're very happy.

Know how hard I've been trying?

Have you considered other options?

No one could tolerate her tantrum!

See who leaves first.

What's with Valentine's Day and the rest?

Where did they come from?

Does it matter whose idea they were?

It's important

you're there when she needs you.

Then who brings home the bread?

You men just don't understand women!

Over there!

It's Coco!

I told them not to run around.

Catherine!

Coming! We're coming!

Help us!

Hold on!

Look at yourself! Help me!

Didn't I tell you to stay put?

Hold on!

Trouble!

What happened?

They fell down a chasm!

I told you to stay put!

It's her fault!

Say something I understand in English!

Purple

Panty!

Hold tight!

Purple is my favorite colour!

You came dressed for a picnic?

Don't tell me how to dress!

What happened to your instinct?

Girls, we haven't landed yet!

JC, where's your hand?

Under your purple.

Let go!

You'll fall!

Let go! I can hold on myself.

You sure?

I'm sure!

Okay.

Madam, you've landed.

We're fine.

But Coco is missing!

JC is okay, but we've lost Coco.

Give us the coordinates.

This way. Okay.

Coco!

Coco!

I am over here...

I found Coco!

Ask captain to bring the first aid kit.

Understood!

Are you alright?

My foot...

Which foot?

Don't move!

What happened? It's nothing.

Your foot!

Nothing, nothing.

Snake!

Where?

Done!

My foot...

You dislocated your ankle. It's okay now.

Over here.

Simon.

Look at these trees!

Hacked by men.

I just saw cannons and cannonballs!

This vessel looks like it's from that era!

Could this be the Indestructible

we've been looking for?

Very likely.

What are you looking at?

This chain rode...

What is it doing here?

It goes all the way into that tree!

The Indestructible!

You've found it!

No, we fell on it.

How lucky.

No way!

It's for real!

It's okay.

Just a tarantula.

JC, I found my great grandfather!

What?

You can tell from the bones?

No, no. This ring.

It has my family crest. I found it here.

There are two!

Which one?

Instinct!

Quick. This one!

Good!

Are you sure?

Sure.

I'll stuff your great grandfather

in my backpack.

His arm.

Oops Sorry!

JC:

We've found the Indestructible!

Who could've imagined, at a place like this!

How did you find it?

Brilliant!

We stumbled upon it.

Almost broke our legs.

Found the bronze heads yet?

We found one.

Bonnie, I have the medical kit!

Go around! There is an old path!

Just follow the marks we left!

Okay, I'm on my way!

Thank you!

This is the Indestructible?

Yes.

How did it end up here?

typhoon?

Typhoon that powerful?

Tsunami?

Everything was possible.

On our way here,

we saw graves and skeletons.

Those outside the cave

must belong to the crew.

Judging on the decomposition of those inside,

they're different from the others.

Some were stabbed, too.

They must have fought before they died.

Probably men brought by her great grandfather.

They didn't die from natural causes.

They killed each another.

Didn't her great-great grandfather return home?

Then what was his son looking for?

Whatever the reason,

it doesn't matter anymore.

You are right.

It happened 150 years ago. Right?

She understands Chinese?

I told her the same thing just now.

They killed each other?

So his son came back to look for

the spoils his father left behind?

Right?

Right? Right.

We need to take a leak!

Right.

Where are you going?

Bathroom!

All of you?

Yeah! Wee wee

My grandmother's going to be very happy.

How is your foot?

It goes downhill,

with logs lined up all the way.

No wonder so many trees had fallen.

Don't do that!

There is more.

Look over there!

An enormous anchor!

But why is it being hung on a tree?

It's a very clever lever device.

When the anchor descends,

the chain rode will ascend,

and sends the trunk downhill via the pulley.

No wonder there isn't a single pulley

on the ship!

How we benefit from our ancestors' wisdom!

You don't seem excited.

I am wrecking my brain

on how to take this trunk back with us?

If this trunk...

There are no ifs.

Money! Money! Money!

JC, the medical kit

and your friend is here.

Hey. JC!

I'm very happy to see you again.

My friend, it's a big surprise.

Pierre?

Catherine!

Address me as miss! You're ridiculous!

Shut up!

You're not in your castle anymore.

I knew you were working together.

I've been following you

since you met Catherine.

Give me the painting

and the other things you stole.

You think I'd bring everything

to this island?

It's a great place!

There's no one else. Just us!

I could kill you now, and nobody would know.

Ready!

Pierre!

Are you alright?

Idiots! These guns are not loaded!

It wasn't us! We didn't do anything!

It's okay! No bullets!

So who fired?

You guys are impossible Don't move!

Or I'll blow your heads off

Pirates?

Yep! Bingo!

If you don't do what I say,

I'll kill you all!

If we work together, we can beat them.

We've been here for a long time.

Only now do we know this place.

Welcome to my island, my friends!

We're reasonable men.

All we want is your money.

Squat! Hurry up! Understand?

Don't do anything stupid and no one

gets hurt!

The ransom is $500,000 each.

Do what you need to do.

Bravo!

Or we can feed you to the sharks!

Bravo!

I don't mind keeping the women, though.

Bravo!

Let me tell you something.

We are not with them.

My boss would be happy to get you

any money you want.

He's very rich.

Those guys want to fight you but I said no!

Take them away!

Thank you!

So what are you doing on my island?

It's my hat!

Tell me. What are you doing here?

Don't understand.

Mandarin?

Boss asked what were you doing here?

Barbecue.

What did you say?

This is a metal detector.

Barbecue? With this?

What were you doing with this?

Mini microwave.

Do you think I'm stupid?!

This is a metal detector.

What are you looking for?

You don't want to tell me?

I'll find out.

Take the girls.
