Not yet.

Not yet!

Now!

Oh!

Yeah! How cool was that, little buddy?

I love you, Hank! I love you so much!

I love you...

Too much happy.

That's too much happy.

Hold on!

Kailani!

You saved me.

Yeah, I guess I did.

Or maybe not!

Go, go! Get out of here!

Sean, what are you doing?

Come on, bird!

Let's do this!

Yes!

Aah!

Sean. Talk to me.

It's my ankle. I can't move it.

This could be serious.

I need to look at it.

Not here.

This part of town

is even more dangerous after dark.

Okay. I'm gonna get you up,

on three.

One, two, three. Up.

That's it.

Give me your arm. Okay.

Now come on.

Has the swelling gone down?

It's dislocated pretty bad.

We might be here a while.

Well, we'll go get some water.

We're gonna have to

pop it back in, buddy.

Okay. Let's do it.

Alexander, I'll brace him.

You do it on three?

Got it.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

One...

Aah!

- What happened to two and three?

- Yeah.

Two, three.

Wasn't so bad.

It wasn't very good.

Do we have anything for the pain?

There's nothing in here.

All right, buddy.

There you go. Okay.

Attaboy.

We have this.

No, no, no.

Don't worry. I don't sing to dudes

underneath the stars in front of a cozy fire.

- It's not my style.

- Good.

You can sing?

A little bit.

Brilliant.

Music is nature's painkiller.

Sing him a song.

- No.

- Yeah.

Come on.

Okay.

Don't worry.

I got something special for you.

God!

All right.

Oh, that's gonna make me feel better?

Slow it down. Just gotta get in tune.

Takes a big man to play a little guitar.

And an even bigger one to listen.

I see trees of green

Red roses too

I see them bloom

For me and for you

And I think to

Myself

What a wonderful world

I see giant bees and

I could have told ya

Don't trust Alexander

He's older than Yoda

And I think

To myself

What a wonderful world

The island

That we stand on

Well, it's currently sinking

Sending those secret codes

What the heck were you drinking?

But it's

All in the past

We wiped the slate clean

We're going to find

Nemo's

Submarine

And you'll think to yourself

What a wonderful

World

Oh, yeah

Oh, that was extraordinary.

What, my multiple talents?

No, after all these years,

finding the elusive singing Sasquatch.

No, but seriously,

where'd you learn to play like that?

My dad used to sing it to me

when I was a kid.

Ah.

Remind me to buy him a drink

when we get back.

Yeah. Good luck finding him.

Why?

Where is he?

Don't know.

He left when I was 8,

and I haven't seen him since.

At least I got a good song

out of it, right?

Yeah.

You like him, don't you?

Who, Sean? No.

Yeah, he's a little hotheaded, you know.

But he seems to be a good kid.

It can never happen between us.

I mean, if we get off this island,

he'll go back to America...

...move on with his life

and go to college.

And I'll go back to tiny Palau.

You could go to college someday

if that's something you really want.

Who's gonna help you at work?

Plus we can't afford it.

Don't say that. You wanna

go to college, you can go to college.

Okay? I can make that happen.

I promise.

Thanks, Papa.

Hank.

Hank, get up.

Something's wrong here.

Everybody up!

Where'd this water come from?

The liquefaction rate tripled overnight.

What's that mean?

It's sinking a lot faster

than we thought.

I thought you said a couple of days.

- Now more like a couple of hours.

- A couple of hours?

We need to get to that sub or

we'll all be 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Papa?

Papa?

Papa!

- He's gone.

- Stay calm.

He's probably gone for a pee.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

What?

Ugh. Last night, he promised me

he'd send me to college.

Now I know what he meant.

He's going after the mountain of gold.

Look, I gotta go get him.

You guys head to the sub. If we're

not there in time, leave without us.

No way. You're not going alone.

I'll go with you.

You have a dislocated ankle,

that's four miles.

It's fine. I can do it. It'll be okay.

No, Sean, he's right.

You're in no condition to make that trip.

Well, she can't go alone.

Then I'll go with her.

I'm the one who...

...called you to this island.

It's my fault you're in this quagmire.

If this map of ours is right...

...then the Trident Cliffs

should be about...

...a mile and a half in that direction.

You get to the Nautilus as soon as you can

and then meet us...

...on the shoreline.

- We have one map.

Let me see your phone.

Let me see this thing.

Now we have two.

Hank, well done.

Thank you...

...for calling me Hank.

Anytime.

Be careful.

Come on, darling.

I'll see you soon.

I promise.

Ready, Sean?

Yeah.

Come on.

Ow! Ooh!

Oh, not that there! Ow!

That hurt too!

Gold.

Our prayers have been answered.

There's Poseidon's...

...Trident, right where

it's supposed to be.

We need the cliff.

This is just shoreline.

The Nautilus is supposed to be

inside of a cave right here.

Maybe the map is wrong.

Let me see it.

Sean, we are in the right place.

Well, then where's the cave?

Where's the Nautilus?

Down there.

The sea level's risen over 100 feet

in the last 24 hours.

I can't believe this is happening.

We're too late. It's over.

No, it's not. It's okay. It's okay.

We just gotta think.

We just gotta think of a way to get...

I got it.

- What?

- Scuba tanks.

Are we listing things

that we don't have?

Okay, a jet pack, a girlfriend,

calligraphy paper.

No, no, listen to me. We just...

"Calligraphy paper"?

It popped into my head.

- We have a couple of dry bags, right?

- Yeah.

Okay, so we take what we salvaged from

the beach, and we build makeshift scuba tanks.

No short breaths...

...no wasted movements.

Make sure you equalize ear pressure

as you go down.

You know...

...if we die down there...

...Mom's gonna kill us.

Then let's do this.

Papa?

Papa.

What are you doing here? You're supposed to

be back at the Nautilus. I'll meet you...

...back there.

Papa, stop.

Stop.

Papa, stop!

Baby, this is our one chance.

Our one chance to send you to college.

To give you a different life, a better life.

Papa.

We'll have all the wealth

we'll ever need...

...just as long as we're together.

Let's go home.

All right. All right.

Okay.

Double-time, Gabby.

Okay, it's only 100 feet down,

and we've got two hits of air with this.

Right.

- Are you ready?

- Am I ready? Are you ready?

- Oh, I'm totally ready.

- Well, I'm totally ready.

Well, I'm probably more ready than you.

No, there's no way.

I'm, like, twice as ready as you are.

We're procrastinating out of fear,

aren't we?

- Oh, absolutely.

- Yeah.

Wait, which way are you going?

Frankly, I'm not sure.

You're not sure?

Look, we're running out of time.

Well, which way's north?

Uh...

This way. No.

No.

No, that's not it. It's this way.

We're getting too much

magnetic friction.

What does that mean?

It means we're lost.

We made it.

The Nautilus.

Come on.

Sean, give me the flashlight.

Let's power this up

and get to the others.

How do we find north
