knows talent,

especially talent

that you have to

perform at random,

without months of

preparation or rehearsal,

well then, it's me.

By God's grace, it is me.

Thanks.

Talent competition.

We got this in the bag.

Can I do it'?

Please? Actually, I

think Tiffany should.

No, Eddie has got this.

All right.

Okay, so let's go.

No one knows this about me.

But I am simply

dazzled by mimes.

Mimes. Yes, mi... mi...

All right, let's see.

Okay.

Oh. Magic.

Yeah. I love magic.

An empty hat.

That's an empty hat. Empty

hat, perfectly empty.

Okay. Please work.

A cheeseburger?

How did he do that'?

Way to go!

A cheeseburger!

Wow, how did he do it'?

Magic.

Did somebody see

my cheeseburger?

I always eat a cheeseburger

when I do the news.

Let's go, let's go!

Go, go!

It's all going to come down

to the scores.

The Bronsons are in the lead.

The question is

can Albie and the Savages

regain some points

in the next competition?

The final leg of the competition

is the Wave Runner race.

The first person to circle

around the buoy

and cross the finish line

wins.

You got this, Todd.

I'm going to show you what

a real winner looks like.

You got this. Come on!

Whoo! Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Oh, he's

almost going to lose.

He's almost going to lose.

Yes!

Go To do'!

Oh. Good job, Billy.

All right.

Hey, he's wet.

Billy, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I didn't... You know, I just...

I'm not... It was...

It was a close one.

The tallies are in.

The Mayor has the results.

Let's see who won.

And the winner is...

Please let it be us.

Billy Bronson.

We did if!

We did if!

I smell something fishy.

And it's not the lake.

Going to collect

the winning ticket.

Dad'? Ha!

Looks like I'll be taking that

key off your hands after all.

Not so fast, Mr. Bronson.

Upon further examination

into who rightfully

owned the land,

I came across this

in Mr. Whittmore's will.

Hold on, Mayor. This treasure

hunt has gone on long enough.

Come on. End it.

Well, why would he

announce the winner

and just, like,

take it back in two seconds?

In the will, it states

"if any dispute

between parties exists,"

"the judgment of who

found the treasure first"

"should be based

on sportsmanship."

Okay, what does it...

I'm sporty.

You guys are sporty, right'?

Sporty, yeah. Yeah!

Yeah!

They're sporty.

Absolutely no cheating.

I-I-I don't even know

how that got in there.

I knew it. I knew it.

Dude, the official

gave it to us, remember?

Like halfway through,

we were all confused.

We were like,

ah, this is difficult.

And he was like, Here, man.

"Here's a lighter." Stop.

And we were like,

"We don't know how."

And he was like, "I know how."

So he helped us with everything.

And then we did it.

And we're wi...

But Mayor, cheating

is the American way.

You watch baseball?

The good guys win.

Are we the... Are we the bad...

Are we the bad guys'?

Albie and his team are the

true winners. Mayor...

Mayor, what you talking about'?

The coordinates, please.

Give them the coordinates.

Did you wear sunscreen?

Dad, do something.

This kid never wears sunscreen.

Thank you.

Wait a minute, no.

So how do you

decipher it, Albie'?

Yeah. Yeah.

I need a map of Culver.

There you are.

Good luck. Thank you.

Dad, fix this.

You're giving it

to the snot noses.

Tell me, Mr. Bronson.

If we were to take a look

in your garage,

what would we find there

besides your Mustang?

My wife's pantyhose.

A weed wanker,

a washing machine.

I told you it was a stupid idea.

Basic stuff, power

tools, you know.

We received an anonymous text.

Yeah, I don't... I can't

see what that is.

Sir, you're under arrest

for stealing the town statue.

They were borrowing it.

No, we didn't steal...

No, it was my kid.

No, when he

doesn't wear sunscreen

he doesn't think so straight.

Come on. Come on.

He did it. I did it.

Well, it looks like

your new boyfriend

just got arrested.

I'm definitely changing

my relationship status

to "It's complicated."

Roll it out, roll it out. I

want to see where it is.

According to the coordinates,

the treasure is hidden at

the town playground.

Of course.

I love that twirly slide.

I love the swings.

I'm more of a monkey bar

guy myself.

Let's go.

Spread out. Search the area.

Hey, whoa.

Don't go past the shovels.

Is it in the grass

or in the mulch?

Well, he said it was

on the playground,

so I'm going to trust the genius.

Probably true.

Boundaries, people.

Boundaries.

Where would you

bury the treasure?

I don't know.

Eddie, quit playing.

We got to find the treasure.

Okay, I'm going

to cast a spell on my hat.

Wherever it lands, that is where the

treasure is going to be, okay'?

Go! if.

There, dig there.

I think it actually worked.

Wait, it worked?

It actually worked?

I think there's actually

something here.

Get the shovels. Todd, Todd.

Todd, shovel.

Yes, ma'am.

Here you go, little man.

I think it's my destiny

to do the news.

The news chooses us, little man.

The news chooses us.

May I'? Sure.

Thank you.

Good evening, Culver.

I'm Vinny Savage reporting live

from the site where the

Whittmore treasure is hidden.

Come on.

Look, there's something.

How do you feel? Awesome.

How do you feel? Proud.

Come on.

How do you feel? I feel dirty.

This is kind of a big deal.

I see something. There it is.

Here we go.

What's wrong, Albie'?

It doesn't feel right.

Well, what doesn't

feel right, honey?

Opening it alone.

Aw. Aw.

Hey, guys. I'm needed.

Thank you.

All right. Ready?

Come on, Vinny.

It's a mirror.

It's just a mirror.

Wait, lookit.

"Take a look, for what you see"

"is truly your greatest

treasure."

H's us.

We're the treasure.

Well, it's a nice box.

May I see this'?

Yeah. Thank you.

Hi.

My heart is truly warm

with emotion.

Here I thought

we would find gold

or diamonds or toys

or even candy, but...

the treasure is ourselves.

How poignant.

It was an honor

doing the news with you.

Thank you. Good job, kid.

Am I fired'?

Look.

Guys, guys, look.

It says, "Look underneath."

No, wait, that's this, guys.

Look. Keep digging?

What'? The lift'?

Yeah. Pull it.

That's a treasure.

Cash money. Cha-ching.

Wait, there's more.

It's the deed

to Whittmore's estate.

We get a mansion?

Whoa.

What are you going to do now'?

You're one rich little boy.

I was already rich.

Well, I don't know

about you, Culver,

but I think this kid

is onto something.

I'm Daisy Larson,

Channel 11 News.

Hey, you, listen up.

I will be back in an hour.

Okay'? I don't want

to be late for the show.

I wouldn't miss it.

Thanks for bringing me here.

Yeah. Anytime.

See you.

Well, hang on, no.

You need to move

the boat to the middle

because otherwise it's going

to be touching his hand

when he is riding. It's

going to irritate his hand.

It's going to be scratching

all up on his hand.

You can't take it off.

It's a present.

Well, still, he's going

to ride it... He's here.
