Everybody okay?

Okay.

You lost your great grandfather

It's okay!

It's okay. He loved the sea.

Here! Here

Hey guys! Here!

The trunk is 1.3m in diameter and 7m long.

Its cylindrical volume is

about 9.28 million cubic centimeters.

Based on its relative weight,

and the fact that it still floats,

about 1/22 should be gold.

Divide that by the size of each gold bar,

inside this trunk... My butt hurts!

There are 2,900 pieces of gold.

Multiply that by the density of gold,

There are eight tons!

So much?

A ton of gold each!

What about the two excess tons?

Divide them into eight parts.

What about the two excess parts?

They are yours.

Why him?

I just feel like it.

This is why they

slaughtered one another.

No way, we don't even quarrel!

What's the result?

Eight tons! Maybe more!

Let's celebrate! Let's go outside!

One word for this journey: romantic!

Thrilling!

Rewarding!

Intriguing!

Satisfying!

Leave your message after the tone.

I know you are there.

Stop sulking on your own.

Pick up the phone and bawl me out.

Got to go.

Can't you ever have a proper conversation?

We start off nice and calm every time,

but always end up having a row.

Morning! Morning!

Thanks for your help last night!

Don't mention it.

Your medicine

Don't you guys have a confession to make?

Like what?

Good morning, everybody!

Stay here!

Last night I wrote a poem to thank all of you

for what you've done for me.

Coco, can you translate?

Okay.

The oppressed rescued by brave knights

A bunch of lying scoundrels in real life

What?

They set sail for a hazardous journey

Driven by greed

they embarked on a stealthy voyage

with hearts pure, righteous, fearless

and without self interest.

Heaven will be yourjudge.

Stealing national treasure is despicable.

Their generosity will be rewarded.

You may evade the judgment of law,

but never escape your own conscience.

God bless you.

Ask yourselves every new year's eve,

did I steal next year's zodiac animal head?

Even all the riches in the world,

won't buy you any peace of mind.

Wow! Chinese is so long!

That was God bless you?

Yes.

Are you sure the translation was correct?

Was I right?

We like it.

I like it.

We like it.

What are you trying to say?

You always meant to look for gold.

You even brought metal detectors.

Gold or bronze, we need metal detectors.

Liars!

You're gunning for these gold from day one!

How could you rummage through my room?

Stop being a jerk.

I saw these

when I helped you back to your cabin.

Oh, dolphins!

Whales, too!

Crocodiles!

Crocodiles in open sea? Let's go.

They swim, don't they?

You really work well as a team!

Okay, then. Fire away

You're not even Martin Shangguan.

Correct.

You weren't looking

for Catherine's great grandfather.

You came for the gold and the bronze heads!

You could say that.

You'll auction off each recovered bronze head.

Right.

What do you plan to do with these?

Someone will pick them up

when we reach port.

I thought they're for the Chinese people!

You're just a mercenery!

There are relics all over the world.

Why can't we profit a little from them?

You feel no shame?

It's a matter of national dignity!

These battered heads...

have nothing to do with dignity

They represent centuries of

our cultural heritage!

What's the big deal?

China is thousands of years old.

What we could achieve then,

we can do better now.

What's going on?

Boy-girl problem. Come on.

If you like,

I can get someone to make you a dozen.

From every dynasty

Scoundrel!

What, me?

From your first day with Professor Guan,

you have been using us!

Young lady

don't pretend you're holier than me.

We didn't ask you to come along.

And

if a fish doesn't open its mouth,

it can't take a bite!

It's take the bait!

Being a cheat is nothing to be proud of.

Your victims are those who trusted you.

We've been doing this long before we met you.

I don't care what you do.

But if you wrong your family

and fellow countrymen,

your children will forever live in shame.

Stop the boat!

What is it?

The gold!

What's wrong?

Nothing!

Stabilize the boat!

How could this happen?

It was alright just now.

The gold is too heavy,

and the trunk has been soaking for too long.
