hey, buddy. missed youat poker this week. hey, thanks for the call, jim.what's goin' on? we didn't want thisgoing out over the radio. kid broke intoa satellite facility. and thenhe drove his dirt bike into the mcgillicuttys'pool. i talked themout of pressing charges. anderson!your stepfather's here for ya! no. legal guardian.
if it weren't for me, you'd be in juviefor the next six months. rather do the time. do you wantto explain to me why you were breaking intoa satellite facility out in the middleof nowhere? don't worry about it, mom.it's nothing, really. the police calling in the middleof the night is nothing? sean?
what was he doing there?what was he looking for? hank: honey, i don't know.all we can do is ask him. hey. sean,we gotta talk about this. you know, i'm still confused asto who gave him a speaking part. hey. hey, withoutmy speaking part, we'd be visiting youin jail right now. i'm already in jail. what is thatsupposed to mean?
look, i didn't ask to be taken awayfrom my old school and friends and be draggedall the way to dayton. [ sighs ]it's okay, liz. no, it's not.sean! sean! it's gotta be tough on himwith his father gone. that still doesn't excusehis behavior. [ crickets chirping ]

hey, i was just lookin'to talk to you. you know, uh,very concerned adult to somewhat troubled youth. and which one am iin that equation? ♪ cracked up the walkwayto my door ♪ ♪ brought you as a -- ♪ [ music stops ] [ chuckling ]hey, buddy. what's all this business?
nothing. that's a cryptogram,right? looks like morse code. mm-hmm. yeah, here, look. one syllable words are dots,two syllable words are dashes. learned thatin the navy. okay, then.what's it say? well, what's it for?
it's complicated. so is the code. okay.here's the deal. a few nights ago, a radio signalgot sent out from somewhere. it could've been anywhere. it was these wordsplaying on a loop. hank: "pip, zorn, strux." these are all characters takenfrom the books of jules verne, so clearly the messagewas sent by a vernian.
and my equipmentwasn't powerful enough to receivethe whole message, so... [ sighs ] so you broke intothat satellite facility to boost your signal. look, someone out theresent this message and i'm gonna be the personto solve it. this is really importantto me. hey, you know what? why don't wesolve this together.
fine. [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] the first part of the messagereads: "the..." i-s-l. "island...is..." r-e. "real.the island is real." you're serious?you're not messin' with me?
[ chuckling ] no.that's what it says. "the island is real." i can't believe it. i can't believe somebodyactually found the island. what island? the mysterious island. vernians have beenlooking for this for years. what's the restof the code say? "child of steve,born 1883."
"born 1883." child of steve.child of steve. maybe "son of steve"? steven's son.stevenson. robert louis stevenson. the author. yeah, but he was bornway before 1883. it's gotta besomebody else. maybe it's not a somebody.
maybe it's a something. what arewe lookin' for? come on. aha! "treasure island," written byrobert louis stevenson in 1883. all right, what'sthe next part of the riddle? all right. "the name that's lastis going fast. he hitched his taleto lemuel's mast."
okay, so his last nameis going fast. what, is he a runner? what if his last name is fast? fleet or quick.swift. swift.jonathan swift. another author. writing aboutanother island. so "lemuel" must be... nice.lemuel gulliver.
okay, we havethree different books. by threedifferent authors. about threedifferent islands. maybe... maybe all three booksare about the same island. maybethat's why nobody else has ever foundmysterious island, because they haven't usedthe other two books. "treasure island's"got a map.
yeah, swift has one too. yeah, but these are differentthan verne's. i don't get it. what are you doing? you know what i didin the navy, sean? no. i won the esteemed... rochefort award... three years in a row... for code-breaking.
[ gasps ] that's incredible. i think we foundyour mysterious island. what are those? coordinates.longitude and latitude. and that'll put usright about...here. that's 100 milesoff the coast of palau, smack-dab in the middleof the south pacific. what do you thinkyou're doin'?
i gotta go. go where? to mysterious island. oh, all right, cool. hey, can you stop by the moonand grab me a slurpee? yeah, joke all you want. yeah, i will, and you're gonna be hereto listen to it. you're not goin'to palau, sean.
why not? well, number one,you're grounded, and on top of thatyou've got school. i'm a straight-a student. i can affordto miss a couple-a days. besides,this is mysterious island. slow down, slow down.okay? do you thinkyou're gonna travel halfway around the world
and meet upwith some lunatic who's messing aroundon a ham radio? it's not some lunatic. it's alexander anderson,my grandfather. how would you knowhe sent that? look,it makes perfect sense. he's the original vernianin the family, he's been lookingfor mysterious island for, like, half his life,
and nobody's heard from himin two years. i think he's in troubleand i'm gonna find him. sean, stop.sean. stop! i'm not letting you goon a rescue mission, certainly not by yourself. and whether you like it or not,buddy, you're still a kid. look, i understandyour situation, okay? you wanna make my mom happyand i appreciate that.
i really do. but you needto just focus on runningyour construction company and paying the mortgageand asking her how her day was. because i'm okay. and, like it or not, this --this is bigger than you. apparently the message was sentby his grandfather. sean said he's been missingfor a couple years. well,it's hard to be missing
if you were never aroundin the first place. i wouldn't trust one wordfrom alexander anderson. sean seemsreally convinced. oh, it's always convincingfrom alexander. i see.so in sean's mind, alexander'sthis glamorous adventurer. when in reality, he was justa man that wasn't there when his family needed himthe most. that's exactly why we needto let sean go on this trip.
why? because sean needs a manin his life. somebody who's gonna be therefor him and connect with him. and we were crackingthat code upstairs, that was the first timethat we were on the same page for morethan five minutes. then bond with himon some non-mysterious island, like hawaii. ohh. hawaii.our honeymoon.

i just made that up. mxyzptlk isn't a snail. it's one ofsuperman's arch enemies. way to slay the heart. whatever. hey, gettin' the attentionof a woman is one of the hardest thingsin the world to do. so what do i do,casanova? i been waitinga long time
to have this talkwith you, buddy. there are three things that you need to knowabout understanding girls. number one:don't follow your instincts. any other area in life,instincts will get you there. not with women. so whatever you thinkyou should do, do the opposite. number two:you need to be open, sensitive. women don't want a manjust because he's big and strong
and has abs like mine. no. they want a thinker,they want a feeler. they want someonewho can understand them. women want a man who is in touchwith his most inner emotions. and the third thing isthe most important of all. it's somethingthat women have responded to for thousands of years. well, tell me.
you've got to do this. what is that? that isthe pec pop of love. now go onand throw a berry. go on and throw a berry. there's someright behind you. grab one and throw it. i'm not -- don't be afraid, they're notgonna bite. grab a berry.
boom. now, go ahead,grab a bunch. rapid-fire, right now. i'm not doing rapid-fire. they will not stopuntil you feed them. i'm not -- f-feed them?no. feed 'em.they're hungry. i'll feed 'em. thatta boy.come get some.
okay, you ready?ready? here we go. ooh. ooh. ooh. ooh.ooh. ooh. ooh, ooh. ooh, ooh. ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. stop. okay, ready?this one's special. make this one count. [ gulps ] mmm. no -- no way,that's awesome.
stop encouraging him. it's a gift. it is a gift. he has a gift. sean,it works every time. [ laughing ] come on, gabby.get a move on. where's he going? i don't know,
but if this goes on much longer,he's gonna blow a hip. come on.let's go. let's go. oh! oh![ stammers ] i'm going. come on, come on.we're almost there. get ready, gabby. i'm about totake your breath away. unbelievable. how do you likegrandma now? gabato: hello!
alexander: no one's been homefor thousands of years, gabby. [ bird squawking ] can anybody guesswhat all this is? do you know? legoland? well,that's poseidon. can you move this? atlantis. we're standingin the lost city of atlantis.
the same atlantisthat verne wrote about, down to the last detail. but wasn't atlantissupposed to be underwater? oh, when verne wrote about it,it was, but it hasa 140-year cycle and spends half its timeabove the water. well, what aboutthe other half? sean: it's calledtectonic recurrence. the ocean bed buckles due tovolcanic activity on the shelf,
pushing and pulling landto the surface. then the entire island sinksback to the bottom of the sea. nobody's ever seen it beforeon this big of a scale. this is amazing. come with me. i've been looking for this pieceof paradise for 30 years. i promised your old manthat we'd find it together. but he's not hereto enjoy it. so i made surethat his son would be.
that is whyi encoded that message. i wanted an andersonto see this place before anyone else. some menget to put their names on stars, species, plants. we get to put our nameon this gorgeous island. in two weeks, we'll contactthe authorities to pick us up and in three weeks, we'll beon the cover of time magazine. guys.
we got a problem. what are youtalking about? you see this water?it's saltwater. and the only way saltwater canget this far inland is if enters the subsoilfrom below. so...? so this island'sabout to go under. the only saltwater hereis on your brain. i've analyzed the samplesand i've calculated the numbers.
this island isn't due to sinkfor 14 years. alexander,your numbers are wrong. and how would youknow that? i've come across this as we're buildingover runoff areas. it's calledsoil liquefaction. look, you can see itin the cracks in the confining bedsall along here, along here...
over there, back here. alexander:okay, you made your point. gabato:well, how long do we have? if i had to guess,based on all this water, two, three days max. then what? because i ain'tno flotation device, man. well, you're gonna be,if we don't figure this out. no, there must be some wayoff this island.
we could build a boat. the storm around this islandwill chew it up and spit it out. i've got something. what about the nautilus? how will a exercise machinegonna help us get outta here? no, no. the nautilus. captain nemo's submarine,built in 1870. well done, sean. chapter 16, verne wroteit is hidden on the island.
yeah, and if we canmake it there in time, we can ride itunder the hurricane all the wayback to palau. okay. one question.where is it? there's only one manwho can tell us that. and that iscaptain nemo himself. the dakkar grotto. the final resting placeof captain nemo. legend has ithis crew buried him in there.
i'll tell youwhat had better be in there: nemo's journal. it could tell usthe location of the nautilus. i've never been ableto crawl in there on my own. too many fried eggs,i'm afraid. [ laughs ] i'll go. i'm the only onewho can fit in there. no way.it's too dangerous. it's really sweet, but i don'tneed your permission.
honey?papa loves you. you remember the drill. be careful.who knows what's down there. honey? honey? you okay?! kailani: i'm fine. i'm inside! [ chuckles softly ] [ woman vocalizing ]
[ screeches ] [ rumbling ] [ bird squawks ] [ rumbling continues ] so that's whata sinking island sounds like. [ crumbling ] gabato: hank! hurry! pull her out!pull her out!
sean: hi. gabato: man, that guy hadsome terrible handwriting. looks like sanskrit. close.it's hindi. yeah,nemo's from india. it says herethat the nautilus is in a basalt caveon the other side of the island, just underposeidon's cliffs. i know this place.
okay.that's where we gotta go. yeah, well, what's the best wayto get there? now, that depends. the safest wayis 'round the shoreline. but the fastest way isacross the heart of the island. what do you think,hank? i think we got no choice.the quickest way. yeah, he's right.i'm in. yeah,but let me warn you.
the heart of this islandis full of jagged mountains, dark junglesand terrifying creatures who will give younightmares. so, who's upfor an adventure? [ screeching ] [ birds and insects chirping ] gabato:are we there yet? alexander: we get therewhen we get there, gabby. the tectonic platesare starting to pull apart
underneath the island. we gotta move.let's go. move, move. [ panting ] wait, what is that? volcanic ash? it looks like... alexander: gold. pure gold. that must be the treasurethat robert lewis stevenson
was talking aboutin "treasure island." volcanos are made ofwhat they erupt. so if that thing'serupting gold, then it's -- a mountain of gold. sean: must be massivegold deposits everywhere. let's go check it out. hold on. that'll take usdays out of our way. we don't have the time. let's make the time.i mean, volcanic gold?
that's a hugescientific breakthrough. i understand that, but wegotta get to the nautilus. [ scoffs ] hank,i'm not just a little kid. okay?i get a say in this too. sean, i am responsiblefor you. i'd never take a chancewith your life. hey, hey. hey, hey, you can'ttell him what to do. you're not the boy's father.
well, from what i hear, you haven't beenmuch of a grandfather. i have given himsomething to live up to. science, adventure,wonder. what have youever given him? i've given hima lot of things, alexander. a sense of responsibilitybeing one of them. somethingclearly you don't have. you're not goingfor that gold.
we're getting out of here.end of discussion. sean, please. we have to get offthis island. [ sadly ]bye-bye, gold. [ bees buzzing ] hey, you okay? yeah. fine. just, you know,i don't need hank trying to tell me what to doall the time.
my dad's always tryingto get involved too, but he usually ends upembarrassing me. yeah? how? last summeri was trying to get a job, so he flew all over palau dropping thousands of copies ofmy rã©sumã© from his helicopter. [ both chuckle ] man,that's so embarrassing. isn't that the worstwhen they try so hard?
