a look at that message.

All right.

"One final step to discover

"a treasure that

will never run dry.

"Be warned. What lies beneath

is the root of all evil.

"Look under

the west forest roses."

All right, mark, we can't just

wander into that forest again.

It's time to gear up, okay?

- Walkie-talkies.

- Check.

Lantern.

Check.

I'm asking you to wait

a little while longer.

Once this deal goes through,

we'll all be rich.

Enough talk.

Open the safe.

Don't be foolhardy, Ridgewick.

You know I know how to use this.

Years of practice out in that

forest, killing for you.

Open it!

All right, all right.

You want your money?

Here it is.

Don't ever threaten me again.

Get him out of here.

He's bleeding on my rug.

Go get the stuff.

Go, go, go.

Uh, I'm sorry I borrowed your

truck, but it's back, so...

I mean, you can hate

me all you want.

I don't hate you, kid.

You're just like me.

Wanna know why your dad

doesn't talk to me?

This is way before

I lost the house.

When I was about your age,

I stole a bunch of

money from my dad,

and I went to see the world.

I wanted to have some fun.

Prodigal son,

the romanticism, that BS.

The truth was,

I was selfish, stupid.

Then one night I called home,

and he said dad's gone.

Then when I got here,

things were never the same.

Well, I'm sure you

did what you could.

No. No, I did not.

Because my brother needed me,

and I wasn't there.

I was searching for

all the wrong things.

When you do that, when your

questions are all wrong,

you're just gonna miss

what it's all about.

What what's all about?

The treasure

that never runs dry.

I had my shot, and I blew it.

Don't.

"Backstroke champion,

Trent Walton."

"Dear Andy, I'm sorry I can't

be the father you deserve."

"You never should have come.

Forget about me."

"Dear Andy, if only I

could find the words,

"or find the strength

to reach out to you,

"but I keep telling myself that

we will meet again someday.

"Love always, dad."

What is this?

Andy, open up.

Andy, let me in!

Open up! Hey!

Andy!

Andy, don't leave me!

Andy, take me with you!

Andy!

Jim, you need to get out here.

Andy's gone.

West forest compass roses.

Two keys.

Yeah.

No, no, no, no! No! No!

No! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Anybody!

Mark?

Mark, do you read me?

Come in.

Mark, it's Andy.

Are you there?

Does anybody read me?

Can anybody read me?

Help!

Trent! Trent.

Claire, what are you doing?

Four days and you lost him

already, on an island?

How'd you manage

that, Trent? Hmm?

Trent, you explain to

me how this happens.

He's a 17-year-old kid.

You had one thing to do,

look after him.

Hey, spare me

the parenting advice.

Parent? No, no, you lost

the right to use that word

when you dropped him

on my lap 15 years ago.

No, no.

I was his father, not you!

I picked up the pieces.

I was there!

Pour it on,

pour it on, pour it on.

You feel sorry for yourself now?

Why don't you grow up?

You had the chance.

You didn't want to do that.

You brought him here! You

brought him here, not me!

Have a drink, Trent. He was not

supposed to know about me.

Enough!

None!

Enough!

Trent, you know the island.

Where could he have gone?

I know.

They're not just watches.

They're riddles.

Your father left

you both a message.

I never knew there were two.

The answers lead to

your father's fortune.

That's where they went.

What do you mean,

that's where they went?

Claire.

Where are they?

They went to the west forest.

He took my truck. We'll

need to get there by boat.

If anybody's listening,

this is Andrew Walton,

son of Trent Walton,

brother to no one.

And now I'm here,

underground,

where nobody can find me.

I made it all this way

for a dead end.

A dead end.

Andy, come in.

What's your 10-9?

Mark? Mark, is that you?

Mark! Mark!

That's you!

Andy, where the heck are you?

I'm underneath you.

I'm underneath you.

Do you see the remote that we stole

from Broman's? Do you see it?

The black flashy thing?

Yes! Yes!

Okay, push the button.

Mark! Mark?

Andy!

Mark!

You came for me.

Why did you leave without me?

I found out why I've never

heard of uncle Trent.

I saw the bottles.

Hey, hey.

So what?

No matter what Trent wrote,

we'll always be brothers.

Now, come on, brother,

let's see what's down there.

No. Mark, mark, it's a dead end.

Mark!

You know my favorite time

I remember being your brother?

The time we went on

this crazy treasure hunt

that led us to

a cave holding millions.

Till we got stuck 'cause

we were missing a key.

Well, that's not how

I remember it.

Well, only one way to find out.

Okay, ready?

Three, two, one.

Whoa!

Organ pipes?

It's just for spooks.

But why?

That's why.

It's a mine, mark.

It's a gold mine.

That is what he meant

when he said,

"a treasure that

would never run dry."

Look! There's a way out!

If the fall didn't kill you...

Those currents would

certainly do the rest.

Come on.

This is a nice one.

"Broman."

"Broman."

Broman. He found out there

was gold on this island.

"Trent and Jim."

"Boys, if you're reading this,

"you're together again,

and you've discovered

"the real treasure

that will never run dry, love.

"Take care of each other, dad.

"P.S. You're rich."

Nice job, boys, but I believe

your work here is done.

Step aside.

You have to

appreciate the irony.

Richard Walton's grandsons lead me

to the treasure I could never find,

and now I'm going to use it to

sweep his family aside for good.

What is your deal? What is your

vendetta against my family?

Your grandfather cheated me.

I processed all of his gold,

and never once did he

cut me into the deal.

I made him rich,

and he gave me nothing.

He didn't just disappear,

did he?

You certified all the gold

that he brought in,

so you followed

him out one night,

probably foggy, nobody around,

and you made sure that

nobody ever found his body.

Well, that's

an outrageous accusation

and one that will

never hold up in court.

What have you done?

"Riches you may possess,

"but only the hand of a Walton

shall Grant release."

What does that mean?

What does it mean?

Tell me!

What's this?

Is this the key to

getting us out of here?

You know what

the funny thing is?

Only one of us knows

how to use that thing.

The other doesn't have a clue.

Enough. I'm not

asking you to open it.

I'm telling you.

No, Broman.

I'm telling you.

You have screwed over my

family for three generations.

Now your run ends here.

It ends with us.

That's very brave,

taking a stand.

Unfortunately, that's

not how you negotiate.

This is how you negotiate.

You can't shoot me.

You need the hand of a Walton.

True.

But I only need one.

Mark!

You picked wrong.

Oh, god!

Trent, there's

something in the water!

There!

There! You see it?

Something there?

Andy!

Andy! Andy!

Andy, help!

There!

Help me! Help!

You gotta slow down!

Help me!

He went down!

He went under!

Take the wheel.

Take the wheel!
