Probably because he never

found grandpa's treasure map.

What'd you say?

Uncle Trent told me all about

it while you were gone.

Why are you wearing

your life preserver?

'Cause mom told me to.

Plus it's cozy.

What exactly did

Trent tell you, mark?

Just that grandpa liked secrets.

He would make

dad and uncle Trent

go on treasure hunts

to find their presents.

It's all starting to make sense.

He wanted them to go

on one last hunt together.

So, we're going on

the hunt instead?

Not we. Me.

Oh, come on.

Every don Quixote

needs a Sancho Panza.

You are such a nerd.

Uncle Trent says it's as

good as gone anyways.

You know what? Uncle Trent

had his chance, okay?

But it is my turn now,

and I'm not gonna be poor

for the rest of my life.

The old man's fortune is real.

It's on this island,

and I'm gonna find it.

"To my son, Jim.

"Unfair and unkind

that soon we must part,

"but beginnings are endings,

and endings are beginnings.

"Be ready, for at these

crossroads, I await discovery.

"Seek your reward where

the gift of time awaits."

"Gift of time"?

The gift of time.

What are you doing?

You scared me.

It's late, man, go to bed.

We got a big day tomorrow.

That's disgusting.

You're disgusting.

You're disgusting.

Hello. Maybe this island's

not so bad after all.

Turn around, turn around.

Just gotta set up a little

accidental meet and greet.

A little

"hey, how are you?"

Why don't you

just go talk to her?

Look, you don't

even like women, okay?

You probably never will, so...

I like women.

Yeah?

I just don't see

what the big deal is.

Just ask her to get

ice-cream, or something.

Ice-cream? Are you...

Everybody loves ice-cream.

Okay, if you need

to know something,

you need to know that chicks

don't like ice-cream.

They think it makes them fat.

Hey!

Claire?

So, what are you doing here?

Oh. Uh, yeah, easy.

I got busted. So, my parents

sent me to stay with my uncle.

I mean, do you remember? I

stole beer for your boyfriend,

and you left me with a security

guard's knee in my back.

It was awesome.

We just got here yesterday. Do

you know the island pretty good?

Yeah, well, my dad has

a house out here,

so I'm kind of

stuck here all summer.

You looking for something?

Hidden treasure.

Hidden what?

Treasures, you know.

Cool...

Cool spots on the island.

Well, there's a general store in town.

Pretty good ice-cream.

Yeah, yeah, I love...

I love ice-cream.

I can eat ice-cream all day.

All right, see you boys later.

Okay.

"I love ice-cream. I could

eat ice-cream all day."

Hidden treasure, lost

fortune, where to begin?

All I had was a rusty

pocket watch and mark.

We decided to kill two birds with

one stone. Get a little ice cream

and explore Walton island.

The whole place looked

like it was going under.

Guess we weren't the only

ones who'd lost everything.

Are you stalking me?

It's an island.

Don't flatter yourself.

Made up your mind yet?

Mint chip, please.

Double scoop.

You boys are Waltons, ain't ya?

Got your grandfather's eyes.

You knew him?

Everyone knew him, hon.

If he was with us,

we could stay in peace.

Instead, we have to start over.

How much

for the ice-cream?

That's $10,000.

But don't worry, Miss Broman.

Your father can afford it.

Actually, I'm buying.

In that case, it's on the house.

Thanks.

What are you getting?

Hello, Trent.

I hear you found yourself

some cheap labor.

I got till the end of the summer.

What are you doing here?

Yes, well, that was

the old deal.

This one has a 10% bonus

if you move out by

the end of the month.

How about you go to hell?

Oh, Trent, Trent, Trent.

When are you going to learn?

There's no future in

this bait and tackle shop.

In a year, this island will be the

premier tourist spot for miles around.

Tell you what. I'm willing

to sweeten the deal.

We're planning on

building a gift store here,

and I'm willing to let you run

it for, say, 5% of net profit?

Heck, you could sell quite a

lot of your ships in a bottle.

I think I can make this better.

Yeah.

This is my father's island.

Walton island.

Not for long.

My plan was evolving. Find the

treasure, save the island.

Save the island, get the girl.

All those things were

looking really good,

and totally,

completely impossible.

How was I ever gonna

get a girl like that?

Hey, what are those?

That's the west forest.

Your uncle hasn't

told you much, has he?

Those crosses are for the nine

people who vanished there.

What? Come on.

Yeah.

Are they buried there?

No. They were

never found.

People have seen some strange

things here. Ghosts.

A haunted forest?

Oh, cool. Finally

something fun to do.

No! No way!

Mark, come on, stop!

Oh, come on, Claire. They're

just ghost stories, okay?

There's nine stakes in

the ground for a reason.

I'm not trying to be 10. You

better get him out of there.

Mark.

Mark!

Mark, come on, man.

Where are you?

Mark!

Andy! Andy, help!

Mark! Mark!

Mark! Mark, where are you?

Dude! Dude! Don't do that.

Where's your girlfriend?

She's not my girlfriend.

Come on, let's go.

You know, if I was burying a

treasure, this is where I'd put it.

No, it's gotta have

something to do with time,

like a watch or a clock, maybe.

You don't bury

treasure in a clock.

No, numb-nuts.

It's a metaphor.

Andy!

Andy!

Andy!

Andy, are you okay?

Yeah. I think so.

Oh, god! Oh, god!

Andy, what do you want me to do?

Go get Trent! Go get uncle Trent.

Hurry!

Okay, okay.

Come on, mark, where are you?

Come on.

"Spooky", she said. "Don't

go in there," she said.

Andy?

Andy, where are you?

Uncle Trent? Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey, I'm down here!

All right.

I got you.

All right, all right,

hold on, I'm coming.

Thank god. Thank god.

Do you wanna tell me why you

went into the west forest?

Ask mark.

He's the one who went in.

Ask Andy.

He's the one who thinks

he can find grandpa's treasure.

And Claire

thinks there's ghosts.

How old are you?

Ghosts?

You haven't listened to a thing I

said since you been here, have you?

Have you?

You think I just talk

to hear myself speak?

I told you not to

go into the forest.

There's nothing in there,

and there is nothing.

There's not treasure.

There's not ghosts.

Don't go in.

Am I clear? I'm not

gonna say this again.

If you want Claire

to like you back,

maybe you should grow

one of your claws bigger.

Dude! Wait, what?

Well, that's what these guys do.

You see, the boy lobster grows

one claw bigger than the other,

not even to hunt or anything.

It's really just to

impress the girl lobster.

It's true.

You know the most random

crap, you know that?

It's not crap. You're just

jealous 'cause you don't...

Hey!

Mark, it's okay.

Andy!

Once they get ahold of you

like that, they never let go.

Here, let's have a look.

Oh, you'll survive.

Rinse that with cold water and put

a compress on it. You'll be fine.

Thank you.

I didn't know what to do.

Well, next time, you will.
