And I lost.

I lost everything.

Do you know why you're here?

This.

Oh, god... What is this?

What is this?

Do you think I ditched my life

to build a ship in a bottle

with some deadbeat, broke-down

alcoholic uncle

that I have never met?

Would you listen to me for once?

No, no, listen!

Okay, you know what? You know what?

Fine, let's do this.

Do we just write some little fortune

cookie note and toss it in the ocean,

or is that just your excuse

to empty another bottle?

Go away!

Get in, get in.

Close the door.

He told you not to touch that.

No, this is dad's.

I stole it before we left.

My god, you're gonna get

into so much trouble.

What do you think

I'm in now, mark?

It looks exactly

like the other one.

Yeah, I know. The

inscriptions and everything.

"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."

Where do endings

and beginnings meet?

Midnight!

The beginning of a new day

meets the ending of the last.

What did the other

pocket watch say?

Something about a guide after

sunset, like a sunset guide.

Oh, that's easy. There's only one

constant guide after sunset.

So, what is it?

I know something you don't.

Come on,

tell me, you little twerp.

No, you said you were going

on this hunt, not me.

You're don Quixote, and you

don't need a Sancho Panza.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

We're going on

the hunt together.

Promise?

Would I lie to you, Sancho?

The north star!

The only thing in the night

sky that never, ever moves.

Holy ship in a bottle,

I think you're right.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

You're sure that's

the north star, right?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

But what do we do now?

I don't know.

I guess we wait.

And it's

midnight.

Maybe your watch

is a little fast.

Andy, what's past the stars?

Past the stars?

I don't know, mark.

I have a hard enough time

figuring out life down here.

Hey, hey, wake up.

We gotta get back.

I don't see why you're so mad.

Well, obviously,

one of us was wrong,

and I'm pretty sure

midnight was right, so...

The north star was right, too.

Maybe we were just

in the wrong place.

Yeah, unless it has nothing

to do with the north star,

and I'm just wasting my

time with you, Sancho.

I just need three more days.

Yes, I tried

the tactical approach,

but there are always

more convincing measures.

He'll leave, and they'll all follow.

Trust me.

We can break ground

by the end of the month.

Wanna play some cards?

Hold on one second.

Not now, darling. I'm right

in the middle of something.

We will be on time

and on schedule.

Secrets, lies,

and dead-ends.

Even the stars were against me.

We were getting

back pretty late,

but as long as Trent wasn't an

early riser, we'd be in the clear.

No such luck.

Well, thank god.

What the heck?

You really think that you could

stay out all night

without saying anything?

You, too.

Me?

Sucks about your ride.

For what it's worth, I'd take a

bike over an escalade any day.

Look, I just came by

to say that I'm sorry.

I thought you knew

about the poker game.

Wanna come out with

mark and I tonight?

Bonfire on the beach,

sing Kumbaya.

I got something for you.

So, what do you got for me?

Ah.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

Okay.

I saw you checking

this out earlier.

Maybe we can make a trade.

I saw you

checking this out before.

I mean, no offense.

I thank you, but I just...

I will never wear that.

- I'll take it.

- Yeah?

Hey, mark, you see that

lighthouse over there?

You know your grandfather

built that, too, right?

You should go check it out.

Yeah, mark,

you should go check it out.

No way.

I've only had one s'more.

Ugh. Fine.

Have fun.

So, you and Ryan,

are you guys...

Forget Ryan.

I don't like you like him.

I like you like you.

Yes!

Andy!

You won't believe it!

I...

Wait, were you two...

Nothing.

We're nothing.

You were!

You were sitting in a tree!

What did you figure out, mark?

Better be good.

The answer to the clue.

It's been here the whole time.

Right in front of us.

Okay, so what is a Polaris?

Polaris, the brightest star in

the night sky, the north star.

On the north tip of the island.

Dude, this is the first time I'm

actually stoked that you're a boy scout.

Let me get this straight.

You think your grandfather's

lost fortune is in a lighthouse?

There's only one

way to find out.

Come on, come on.

Andy, come on! I wanna go.

Hey, Andy, there's

something else down here.

What is this place?

This must be the map room.

Come on, grandpa, where is it?

Isn't "x" supposed

to mark the spot?

No.

But "xii" does.

Here, shine a light.

Polaris at midnight.

"Exceptional work, my sons.

"Rest not.

You now hold every clue."

What?

Great.

Grandpa was crazy.

If only we had

the other pocket watch.

Dude!

You little ninja.

Guys, look!

Check this out!

"Use birthday decoder."

The world war ii decoder at your house.

We have to get it.

No, no, my dad would kill you if he

caught you even breathing on it.

Plus, it's really far.

Uncle Trent locked

our bikes, remember?

Got enough cash for all your little

minions running around here.

You think we're stupid?

Look, you're not the only ones

with your ass in a sling.

I have developers flying

in from China in 72 hours.

If I can't deliver on my

share, I'm out of the deal.

Out. Do you understand

what that means? Hmm?

Sounds like you're trying to squeeze

a few more nickels for yourself.

Stay here.

I'll get the key.

No, no, no,

wait till they leave.

Trust me.

Don't worry.

Hi, daddy.

Everything all right?

Yes. Just doing business,

sweetheart.

Do you need me for something?

I'm just gonna get the cards, play

some solitaire and then go to bed.

All right, look, I'm asking you

to wait a little

while longer, all right?

We're getting close.

Night, daddy.

Good night, sweetheart.

I'll be there in a minute.

Just go.

No, no, we'll wait for you.

We'll all be winners.

Here, here.

Mark, read me

that message, quick.

Okay.

"N-d-d-f-space-i."

Look, as I've already told you,

there's a fortune to be

made with this island,

and it starts with finding out where

the old man has buried his money.

It's my buy-in.

Without it, I have to stand

on the sidelines and watch,

so I suggest you get back

out there and find it.

"C-o-b-e-b."

Someone's coming.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Dude, come on! Don't! What are you...

Come on!

Dad.

What are you doing?

You took my key, didn't you?

They're here, aren't they?

Oh, my god.

Claire!

Come on.

Pass me the flashlight.

Hey, this must be

grandpa's secret passageway.

I hope we don't find

any dead things back here.

Hey, what's that?

Whoa.

You think we're

supposed to take it?

I guess.

Let's go.

Hey, this way.

My dad's on to you. You guys

need to get out of here now.

Okay, come on.

Okay, let's take
