Secrets of the Mountain (2010) Movie Script
- What's the big deal,
Uncle Henry?
I mean, I really don't get
why I couldn't go with them.
- Ah, come on!
We've been over this, Dana!
It's your
folks' anniversary.
They just wanna
share an adventure.
- I can be adventurous.
- Oh! Can you?
- Yeah, sure!
Why not?
- Hmm...
Well, to be able to
see beyond the obvious
requires imagination.
What shape is your
imagination in?
- What do you
mean, shape?
- Well, I mean,
how well-tuned is it?
- I'm not exactly sure.
- Hmm. Should we test it?
- Yeah.
- OK. Look, what do you
know about pirates?
- I know
they were mean.
- Oh yes, they were.
Indeed, they were.
And the meanest of them all
was Captain William Kidd,
who, if the legends
are correct,
visited this very mountain.
Now, imagine him
standing over there.
Can you see him?
- Not exactly.
- He's got on
a black tricorn
and a scraggly beard
and yellowing teeth
and a crimson waistcoat.
Go! Go!
Look hard.
You'll never
be able to see
what was or is
or might be
unless you're really
willing to look.
- Yeah...
There he is!
I see him!
- Good!
Now, do you see
his henchmen?
- Henchmen?
- Oh yeah!
A filthy bunch of
ruffians, you know?
Both odoriferous
and dangerous.
And they were
standing over there,
right opposite
their captain.
See 'em?
(Grunting)
- What are they doing here?
- Well, you gotta tell me.
Do they have swords?
Do they have shovels?
- Both, Uncle Henry!
Swords and shovels!
- Oh, then sure as
we're standing here,
they have come to bury...
treasure...
- Looking at the pencil
in a glass of water,
our eyes tell us
it's broken into 2 pieces.
Yet when you remove
the pencil from the glass...
it's not really broken.
Just as with the pencil,
what seems to be
true at first glance,
the circumstantial evidence
against my client,
Antonio Huertas,
must be examined
more carefully.
As jurors, it's
your responsibility...
to use your imagination,
to look harder,
to look beyond
the obvious...
to discover...
the truth.
- Thank you, Counsellor.
We'll recess
for 10 minutes,
and then the jury will
begin deliberations.
- (Man):
Let's go, Mr. Huertas.
(Indistinct chatter
in courtroom)
- Odds?
- Fifty-fifty,
which isn't bad
considering his chances
before you took his case.
- Oh no!
- What?
- My ex is getting
married today,
and I was supposed to
pick up my kids an hour ago
so he could go
on his honeymoon!
All right,
call me when the jury's in.
- Will do.
- You know, don't even
try and defend her, OK?
- I won't.
- 'Cause this is exactly
what I expected,
and you said she wasn't
gonna do this!
- I am so sorry, Brandy!
Court went over.
- OK, you know what?
Save the excuses, Dana.
We both know why
you were late!
(Exhaling)
- All right, look,
I know that she thinks
I intentionally
ruined her big day.
But I promise you...
- No, don't worry.
We'll catch
the next flight.
- Look, I really
am sorry, Colin.
There was nothing
I could do.
- Yes, there was.
You could have been here
on time, like you promised.
- (Brandy): Colin!
- Oh...
So! Other than
the grand finale...
how was the wedding?
- Can we just go?
- I totally missed
a scrimmage because of you.
- The wedding
was perfectly fine,
except for the bride,
of course,
who wasn't you.
So what's for dinner?
- (Dana):
Pizza time!
- OK, so what do
you want me to do?
- Chef duty.
Oven's hot.
- Great.
- Where's your sister?
- Don't know.
Plugged into that emo-screamo
junk she listens to.
She probably can't even hear--
- Hear what?
Are you dissing me again?
- Will you get over it?
- Excuse me!
- Over what?
- Nothing.
- Nothing.
- Well, whatever
"nothing" is,
it's put you two at odds
for the past few months.
I'm getting
tired of it!
- You and Dad can fight,
but we can't?
- You know,
if you are referring
to what happened
today at the church...
(Phone ringing)
Perfect!
(Exhaling)
Sorry, I have to take this.
- Of course you do.
- Hey, Joel.
When?
All right,
I'll be down in a minute.
Yup. Bye.
OK, the jury's in
on the case that I'm working.
We are gonna continue
this conversation tomorrow.
- Me too. Way busy.
- What about you?
You booked, too?
- Afraid you're gonna have
to take a number, Mom.
(Exhaling)
- I'm gonna be home
in a couple of hours.
OK? Could you two please
try not to kill each other?
OK?
- 18-year-old robbery suspect
Antonio Huertas is free today
thanks to the efforts
of public defender Dana James.
Huertas, who was charged
with felony armed robbery,
faced 20 years
in state prison.
- Here's to Mom!
Always there for
the poor and downtrodden!
- If Antonio's sister
is as snotty as you,
he might wanna ask
the jury for a recount!
- If she's a smart
alec like you,
he might wanna tickle her
until she wets her pants!
- Not in the house!
And eat something.
OK? A glass of juice
isn't breakfast.
- I'm going to
the gym after school,
then to a party
at Caroline's.
- What party
at Caroline's?
- Just a party.
- You didn't tell me.
- When would I?
I've barely seen you all week.
- Are her parents
going to be there?
- I don't know.
What's with the
cross-examination?
- Are they? Jake!
- As far as I know,
they'll be there, OK?
- No, it's not OK!
You find out
and have them call me.
And I suppose you're going
to Caroline's, as well.
- As if! I wouldn't be
caught dead at her house!
- Trust me, she wouldn't be
caught dead inviting you!
- All right, enough!
If Caroline's
mother calls me,
you can go
to the party.
But I want you to
come home before you do.
Keep rolling your eyes,
and you're not going!
- Whatever.
- And you...
your mood has gone from
white to grey to black!
It's starting
to scare me!
I mean, I expect you to
walk in that door
with some fohawk
and "Love-Hate"
tattooed on your knuckles!
(Exhaling)
Jade, I can't help you
solve this problem with Jake
unless you
share it with me.
- There is no problem,
other than Jake
being a complete jerk.
So can I go now?
- Fine. Go.
- It's hormonal.
They'll grow out of it.
- Ha! Just in time for
you to grow into it!
What's this?
- Found it on the porch.
- Tesla Falls...
- That's where
Uncle Henry lived, no?
- Uh-huh.
- What's it say?
- It's from a lawyer.
Somebody wants to buy
the property Henry left me
for... a lot of moola!
- I know you've told me,
like, a zillion stories
about your Uncle Henry.
You never said
what did him in.
- A cliff.
- A cliff did him in?
- Well, technically, no.
Flying off it actually
did the trick.
- What happened?
- Um...
I was in college.
Well, his name
is Colin,
and he wants to
be an orthodontist.
And Uncle Henry and I
were in his old jeep.
And, you know, I remember
telling him about your dad.
He is so smart!
And he's so cute!
Uncle Henry,
are you listening to me?
What...
What?
Who is that?
- Nigel.
- What do you mean?
- It's Nigel Fowler!
- He works for you!
He's your friend!
- Not since he found out what's
really inside the mountain!
Ah!
Get out of the car.
- What?
- Get out of the car now!
- I don't understand!
- You don't have to understand!
Hide behind the bushes!
Stay down!
Ah!
- Sounds like
something from a movie.
- Yeah...
a movie without
a happy ending.
(Horn honking)
Oh! There's your bus!
Let's go.
- Oh, what about
the Fowler guy?
- Well, I called
the police,
but no one witnessed
the actual crash,
so no charges
were filed.
And Nigel...
he just disappeared.
- Spooky!
- Yeah... spooky.
- Well, what about
the offer?
- I don't know, because
it's a 24-hour deadline.
And if we do go,
we're gonna have to go
tomorrow to sign the papers.
- Let's do it!
Let's go! Please!
Pretty please with
sugar on top!
- I'll tell you what:
I'll think about it.
But you need to
catch a bus.
Have a great day.
Go! Go! Go!
- Oh, and while you're thinking,
keep in mind 4 words:
"Harvard tuition,
very expensive!"
- OK!
- Bye!
- Bye.
- This puzzle has boggled
some of the greatest minds
in the Western world.
(Laughing)
What an exceptional child.
You...
- Mom, I'm home!
- I'm in here, honey.
Hey, Maddie, did I...
Did I ever show you
this puzzle?
- I don't think so.
Hmm... let's see. I...
- What an exceptional child!
Hey, how was school?
- Same old.
So...
- So what?
- Don't tease!
We going or not?
- Going where?
The mall? Because
I'm desperate for a ride!
- Not the mall.
Uncle Henry's.
- The guy you used to visit
when you were a kid?
- What about
Uncle Henry?
- You know, since fate has
gotten us all together
in one place,
I would like to
convene a meeting.
- Yeah, I don't
have time for a...
- No, you need
to make time.
Um...
Years ago, I...
I inherited some
property from my uncle.
- Who died
in a spectacular car crash!
- You didn't tell us that part.
- Really?
- That's beside
the point.
- The point is,
someone wants to buy it.
We need to go up there
to sign some papers.
- Maddie...
- Sorry.
- This money will
go a long way
into paying
for your college.
And, um,
you know what?
I think a weekend
in the country
might be good for us.
- So we're going?
All right!
- Together.
- What?
- As a family.
- When?
- Tomorrow morning.
- But...
- It's Saturday!
- That's final!
- (Jade): Ah!
- Yes!
- All right, you can
go get ice cream.
I'm not gonna be
long, all right?
- Sure.
- I'll be getting some
cookies-and-cream ice cream.
- That's a really
good idea.
I want cookies-and-cream
ice cream, too.
- OK, cool.
- Watch for cars!
- (Jake): Oh!
- (Jade): Whoa! Run!
(Groaning)
- Sorry, I didn't...
Sorry, I didn't
hear you come in.
- No, no, that's OK.
I was enjoying
the drum solo.
- You think Charlie Watts
should be worried?
- Probably not.
But it's still nice to meet
a lawyer who has rhythm.
- It's nice to meet a client
with a sense of humour.
I'm Tom Kent.
I assume
you're Dana James.
- I so appreciate you
coming in on a weekend.
- Oh no, it's my
pleasure. Yeah.
No, please,
have a seat.
Papers are all
ready to sign,
unless you decided
to change your mind
since we spoke
last night.
- No, my mind's made up.
So what's your dog's name?
- Oh, uh...
That there is...
Well, that's Holmes.
- As in Sherlock?
- As in Oliver Wendell.
(Groaning)
- So who's the buyer?
- Uh, a holding
company offshore.
Oxford Worldwide Financing.
- Who's the principal?
- No idea.
My only contact with
them has been by phone.
They retained me
to find you,
make an offer,
cut a deal.
- A bit mysterious, no?
- Maybe.
But they're willing to pay
twice what the property's worth
as long as you waive the
seller's-remorse period.
So once you sign,
there's no backing out.
It'll take 5 days for
the cheque to clear.
But after that,
the mountain is theirs.
- Just the mountain,
not the lodge?
- Apparently, they're only
interested in the land. Yeah.
Crazy, huh? There you go.
There's a pen.
- Thank you.
- You know,
it's a nice old house.
Make a good getaway
for you and Mr. James.
- Uh, Mr. James is
on his honeymoon
with a new Mrs. James.
- That's good.
I mean, not good that
he's on his honeymoon,
but good that
maybe you'll decide
to keep the place
for yourself.
Yeah... I mean,
and if you do,
I think you'll find that
we have a lot to offer...
in Tesla Falls,
that is.
- I'm sure you do.
- Yeah.
- Well...
- Well...
(Exhaling)
- It's been very nice
to meet you, Mr. Kent.
- Tom, please.
- OK!
Uh...
See you!
- I hope so.
(Grunting)
- Wow!
Kind of beat-up!
- It's been a while since
it's seen any love.
- Got a "whatever you do,
don't go into the basement"
sort of vibe.
- I think it's awesome!
Let's go inside!
- I'll wait out here until you
break through the cobwebs!
- Me too!
- Yell out if you see
somebody in a hockey mask.
- This place is so cool!
I'm gonna go and check out
the upstairs.
- OK. Don't destroy anything!
- OK!
(Exhaling)
(Gun cocking)
- Uncle Henry?
- I'm surprised
to see you here.
- You're surprised?
I'm surprised...
You're dead!
How could you...
I loved you!
I wanted to be you!
- Hey, Mom, guess what!
I found this really cool...
Oh...
- Ah...
Oh my...
You look just like
your mother 30 years ago!
You must be Madelyn!
- Yes, I am.
And you're...
- I'm Henry.
- Uncle Henry?
- Yes, that's me.
- You don't look like
you went off a cliff.
- Oh!
Because I didn't.
My jeep did.
- So you never
really croaked?
- No.
No, I was thrown from the car,
broke a couple of ribs.
But I just... I got up.
I walked away.
- Walked away where?
- Europe, Asia,
South America.
Started consulting, under
an assumed name, of course.
- Of course...
- (Jake): Hello?
- (Jade):
Any "body" in here?
- Uh, guys,
this is Uncle Henry.
- Yeah, right.
Nice try, squirt.
- So you must be Jake,
I take it? And you're Jade?
Hmm?
Did you ever
Google yourself?
Oh, it's quite interesting!
No, Maddie is
telling you the truth.
Years ago, I let your mother
think that I was dead.
- And I'm still waiting
for you to tell me why.
- Well, it's rather
a long story.
It'd be better
if you all stayed over
and I can
tell it properly.
- Wait, wait. So we're actually
going to, like, sleep here?
- Just...
Go to the van
and bring in your stuff.
- Yes! Yes!
- It's a little chilly in here.
I think I'll start a fire.
- Awesome!
- Are you insane?
- Sorry, I didn't
know it was loaded!
- So let's hear it.
What's this all about?
- About a book.
A personal journal.
Actually, it's written in code.
What do you remember
about Nigel Fowler?
- I remember he didn't
like me very much,
although he always
pretended that he did.
- And I tried
to mentor him,
but ultimately, I found out
he had ulterior motives.
- What do you mean?
- He'd blow up
the Sphinx
if it made money
for him and his people.
- And you had no idea?
- No.
No, I really didn't...
not until the day he tried
to force me off the road.
Here, sit down.
(Fire crackling)
Look, since then,
I have found out an awful
lot more about this guy.
- Like what?
- Like when he was
studying with me,
he'd been hired by these
very dangerous guys
who had some
wealthy clients
who were willing to pay small
fortunes for rare antiquities.
- OK, so what does
this mysterious journal
have to do with Nigel
and you pretending to be dead?
- I had formulated
this theory
about what was really
inside of the mountain,
and I stupidly
shared it with Nigel.
And on the last day
that I saw you,
Nigel overheard
a conversation that I had
with a rare bookseller
in London.
This guy had
found this journal
in a library in
a Scottish castle.
And I think that Nigel felt that
if he could get to it first--
- And eliminate you.
- And you too.
Don't forget what a threat
you were to him.
- Then he'd get
what's in the mountain
with nobody
in his way.
- That's right.
- Hey, what about food?
Running on empty here.
- Yeah, good.
Well, we've got
a full pantry,
and I could whip
something up.
What do you think?
- All right.
- OK.
- Not in the house!
- Ah, why not? Why not?
It's as good
a place as any.
But you know what?
Actually...
I have an old hoop hanging
on the side of the shed.
- No way!
- Way! Yes way!
Yes way, right?
- Yes.
- Yes way!
(Laughing)
- All right.
- OK.
Hey!
Oh, he's a good kid,
you know?
Come on, let's go!
- Wow! That's enough
food to last...
- Till I find my way
into the mountain.
At least,
that's the plan.
Well...
What?
- I...
sold the mountain.
- What?
- You died, remember?
You left it to me
in your will!
I mean, I sat on it
for 18 years, Henry!
I mean, I couldn't even
bring myself to come up here
because of the memories,
until out of the blue,
I got a letter.
Somebody wanted
to buy it.
And so I sold it
this morning!
- But you can get
out of this, right?
(Exhaling)
- It's not possible.
Trust me.
- Why not?
- I'm a lawyer,
and it's an iron-clad contract.
- Oh...
- Now, if the cheque clears
in the next 5 days,
it's gone.
- Who bought it?
- What's the difference?
- Who?
- Oxford Worldwide Financing.
- Oxford?
That's where I met Nigel.
- Don't tell me
I sold the mountain
to Nigel Fowler.
How could I be
so stupid?
- It's not you.
It's me.
- I'm sorry, Henry.
- You know,
I've always said,
when a family's in trouble,
they run together, not apart.
And I just didn't
follow my own advice.
But maybe it's
not too late.
I mean, we still
have 5 days, right?
- That was beautiful.
It's so nice to
hear you sing again.
It's been a while.
- Yeah, well, inspiration's been
a little hard to come by lately.
- You know, Jade,
if you wanna talk about--
- I don't.
(Exhaling)
- Someday...
she'll discover,
angst is optional.
- Thank you, Dr. Freud!
- You're welcome.
- Come on.
Come here, you.
(Laughing)
- Ha! Hey!
This reminds me of Dana
when she was your age.
- You talking about Dana
as in my mom, Dana?
- Uh-huh! I put that thing up
for her to practice.
She became
quite an ace.
She never told you?
- That'd require us to have
an actual conversation.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing.
Well, you know
how it is.
Between Mom's job
and school and sports
and Dad's shared custody,
there's just not
a lot of free time.
- I see. Hmm.
- But it's cool,
though, you know?
- Right. Cool.
Wow! So you hungry?
I got it. Huh?
- Yeah.
Oh, nice try!
- I need to practice.
Maybe you can show
me some tips, huh?
- OK.
- All right.
- Ah...
- This is amazing,
Uncle Henry!
- Yeah, well, it's just a little
recipe I picked up in Egypt
while I was surveying
the Temple of Karnak.
Do you want some?
- I could actually use
a little more, please.
- So what's inside
the mountain, Uncle Henry?
And what's it have
to do with pirates?
- Ah, well...
You remember Captain Kidd,
don't you, Dana?
- Of course.
- What did we decide
he was doing
that afternoon you saw
him on the mountain?
- You saw him?
- Yup.
In here.
(Crickets chirping)
He was burying treasure.
- Oh no, it turns out he wasn't.
He was digging for treasure.
- How'd you figure that out?
- Inadvertently.
I was studying a totally
different subject,
and I came upon
this shipping manifest.
And it told of 2 vessels
that were bought by
the Earl of Lansdowne,
a Scottish archaeologist.
- So why'd Earl
buy these boats?
- Earl was his title, doofus.
- Whatever!
- OK, let's let Uncle Henry
finish his story.
- Well, he needed the boats
for an expedition in 1689
to this mountain.
- Why this mountain?
- He thought he knew
what was inside
and wanted to see
whether he was right.
- So did he find out?
- Yeah, was he right?
- Well, yes, he found out
and yes, he was right.
- Well, so what
happened to him?
- Well, on his way
back to Scotland
to organize a proper
scientific excavation,
he was captured and
tortured by your friend
Captain William Kidd.
- Did he tell them
about the mountain?
- Yes, he did,
and then they
foolishly killed him.
- Why foolishly?
- Because he told them
where the mountain was,
but he didn't tell them
how to get inside.
- So the secret
was lost forever?
- Not quite.
I mentioned that the Earl
commissioned 2 ships, didn't I?
- Right. Um...
What happened to
the second one?
- Well, he escaped Kidd,
and he returned home to
Scotland carrying with him...
this journal.
- (Dana):
You beat Nigel to it!
- Yes, I did.
Unfortunately, it was
written in a complex code.
- Did you break it?
- No, I tried for 18 years.
Believe me.
But it took
a supercomputer in Zurich
to finally crack it.
- What did the code say?
- What's in the journal?
- Tell us! Please!
- Well, the journal describes...
what the Earl saw...
as he descended into
the heart of the mountain.
- Which was?
- Which was what
I'm gonna tell you...
first thing
in the morning.
Nope! That's it!
- Come on!
- Come on!
- What kind of story is that?
- That's not fair!
- That's it.
That's all you're getting.
Hmm...
(Fire crackling)
You know, the kids seem
to like their rooms,
especially Maddie.
(Laughing)
Meeting your family...
makes me regret
even more
not having you in my life
all these years.
- Oh, believe me,
I regret it more than you.
You were my rudder.
And when I lost you...
- I'm sorry, Dana.
You've been through
a lot lately, right?
(Exhaling)
Do you feel like telling me
about you and...
Colin? Colin.
- Not much to tell,
except that
this whole mess
has taken such
a toll on my kids...
Jade and Jake, especially.
- Yeah, I guess
I can see that.
- You know, I dragged
them up here this weekend.
I figured, you know,
new environment,
quality time...
None of which
changed a thing...
until you showed up.
I haven't seen
my kids so...
(Exhaling)
I don't know...
innocent...
in a long time.
- Well, it doesn't have
anything to do with me.
This mountain,
it just brings out the best
and the worst in people.
It has for centuries.
- I missed you, Henry.
- I missed you, too.
I hope it hasn't
all been for nothing.
(Exhaling)
Me too.
Good night.
- Well, good night.
Oh...
Good night.
Sweet dreams.
(Loon calling)
(Henry): You're gonna work off
some of that food, I think!
- Oh yeah?
(Henry and kids chattering)
Straight through the woods,
then we're gonna
go up the hill...
- Are we gonna take that trail
that you told us about?
(Chattering, laughing)
- (Jake): Awesome!
- Let's go
straight through...
- So what's the big
secret, Uncle Henry?
- Yeah, spill!
- You can trust us.
We're family.
- Yes, you are.
Well, to start out with,
I want you to tell me everything
you know about the Aztecs.
- They were from Mexico.
- Well, that's where
they ended up.
But even their
own legends say
that they originally came from
the place of the herons.
- Herons, as in birds?
- That's right.
According to
their mythology,
if one were to follow
the migration of the herons,
they'd end up
in the place
where the Aztec
civilization was born.
- Anybody ever
try to find it?
- Yes, they did in 1519.
Moctezuma, who was
the Aztec leader,
sent 1,000 warriors
and a golden mask,
which was a symbol
of their revered Sun God,
back to the place from
which they all were born.
- Ah! Which was
where, exactly?
- I believe...
that you're standing on it.
- Cool!
- So these Aztecs buried
a gold mask right here
under our feet?
- Well, way, way under!
This mountain is nothing
but a honeycomb
of caverns and tunnels.
Now, you see, I think that
the Aztecs found a way in,
and then they built a temple
to house their god.
And then they
disappeared forever.
- So how do we get
inside the mountain?
- Well... we've got 4 days
to figure that one out.
Assuming your mother will
let you stay, of course.
(Sighing)
(Laughing)
- At school, I really like
the botanical samples
in the little bottles...
- Oh! You scared me!
- Hello!
- She was your age.
- Just around here?
- Hello!
Hey, there
I hope you don't
mind my dropping by.
- Not at all.
- I had copies made
of the agreement,
and I thought it'd be better
if I give them to you in person
rather than,
you know, by mail.
- That was very nice you.
Mr. Kent, this is
my whole family.
This is Jade,
Jake, Maddie...
- Hi!
- ...and Uncle Henry.
- Hi.
- Does your father practice law
in Tesla Falls?
- Uh, I... I inherited his
clients when he passed away,
about 2 years ago now.
- I'm sorry
to hear that.
I knew him well,
your father.
He was a good man.
- Yes, he was. Thank you.
- We're going on a treasure
hunt. You wanna come?
- Maddie!
- Oh, that sounds...
- All right then!
Um...
Let's all break up
into groups.
- Me and Uncle Henry!
- OK. What's your first name?
- Tom.
- Why don't you go with Dana?
- Works for me.
- Wait, which leaves me
stuck with Jade?
- Uh, who's stuck
with who?
- So what exactly
are we looking for?
- Carvings in stone
of a hummingbird.
- Hummingbird?
- Yeah.
The Aztecs believed
that dead warriors
came back
as hummingbirds.
Blue hummingbirds,
to be exact.
- Aztecs, huh?
Well, sounds cool!
- Yeah! The journal says that
where you'll find one carving,
you'll find 2 more.
Got it?
- Which will lead us to
the Sun God's temple!
- Exactly!
- Wow! Hummingbird carving,
Sun God temple. I got it.
- You're on!
OK, let's get
some sandwiches
and refill up
our canteens
and head on out.
Welcome, Tom!
- You up for this?
- Does Moctezuma
want revenge?
Don't answer that.
So how long you been
a public defender?
- Pretty much since
I passed the bar.
- It must be exciting work.
- Well, it better be,
considering the lousy pay.
(Laughing)
Where'd you live
before Tesla Falls?
- Oh, New York.
I was corporate counsel
for a big insurance company.
- So... is the grass
really greener?
- Uh-huh.
Getting more so every day.
- Come on, Uncle Henry!
Keep up!
- Ah...
Don't worry about me.
- Hey, this is where
we were this morning!
- That's right!
According to the journal,
the Earl thought that
this was the entrance
to one of 2 shafts that supplied
fresh air to the warriors
who were constructing
the temple.
- Cool.
- Yeah, cool.
That's what it did.
It kept 'em cool.
You know...
if you use
your imagination,
you'll probably
see them digging.
- Yeah, I see them!
Lots of them!
- Where?
- Right there! See?
And they're digging,
just like you said!
How come the hole's
filled up?
- I don't know.
It probably collapsed...
way before the Earl
ever found it.
- Which only
leaves one shaft.
- That's right!
And the elusive entrance.
"One way in, one way out."
That's what the Earl wrote.
- Hey...
- What?
- Oh, I thought
I saw someone.
- Where?
- Over there.
- Are you sure?
- Maybe. I could be wrong.
- You really think there's
something inside this thing?
- Why shouldn't there be?
- The whole Aztec thing
sounds a little wacked to me.
- Then sit it out.
You're good at that.
- Hey, we're supposed
to be a team. Remember?
- We stopped being a team
a while ago, remember?
- That's it,
I'm taking a break.
- What, again?
We just took a break!
- That was lunch.
(Grunting)
- What?
- It wouldn't kill you
to try and fit in.
- With your puffed-
and-buffed crowd?
Yeah, no thanks!
- Right, better to
avoid the competition,
not worry
about how you look.
- I'm not in competition
with you, them or anyone.
- All I'm saying is, if you'd
stop trying to be a freak,
maybe somebody
would ask you out,
for real
instead of...
- If I wanted a date,
I could get one.
And I could promise you,
it wouldn't be with
your brain-dead...
Wait...
- What are you doing?
- Move.
- What are you doing?
- Move!
(Exhaling)
- Yes!
(Laughing)
We found it!
- We found the carving!
- What?
- We found the carving!
- You what?
- Hey, hey, hey!
What's all
the yelling about?
- We did it!
- We found the hummingbird!
- No? Fantastic! Where?
- On a rock wall
under some moss.
- You found something?
- Yeah, about
45 minutes from here.
- Come on!
- Let's go!
- Stop! Hold on!
Calm down.
It's getting dark.
- No, no,
your mother's right.
We really can't go
until the morning.
- Come on!
- No!
The Sun God has
waited 500 years.
One more night's not
gonna make a difference.
Come on.
- Let's go now!
- Let's go play
Monopoly or something.
Get it out of
your minds. Come on.
- I thought
you guys were...
- Crackpots?
(Laughing)
- No, I was gonna say,
just playing a game.
- It's not a game. My...
My uncle has spent
most of his life
trying to uncover
the secrets of this mountain.
And if we do find
a way inside,
we could discover
one of the most important
archeological sites
in North America.
- Then I better take things
more seriously tomorrow.
That is, if you don't
mind my coming back out.
- Tom, I don't want
you to think that...
- All I think is, I haven't
had this much fun in...
in ages.
- OK.
- OK?
- Mm-hmm.
- So I'll see you tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- Good night.
- Good night.
(Engine starting)
(Exhaling)
(Chain jingling)
Jake?
- Hello, Dana.
Long time.
- Not long enough.
- I've been
watching you...
and your whelps,
crawling all over
my mountain.
- Yeah, well,
it's not yours, not yet.
- If you care about
your children, Dana,
you won't wait.
You'll pack them
into your soccer van
and drive them
back to suburbia
while you still can.
(Gun cocking)
Henry!
You're looking well...
for a corpse.
- Take your hands
off her, Nigel,
or we'll see what you
look like in that condition.
Nigel!
Why did you buy
the mountain now?
- A phone call from
a colleague in Zurich
made it seem like
a wise investment.
- I deal with lowlife
all the time at work, Henry.
They don't
intimidate me.
But when it comes
to my children,
that's a different story.
I can't stay here,
not now,
not with my kids.
We're leaving
in the morning.
(Gasping)
- Ah! You are so sick!
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
- Right. You're trying
to figure out
how to use the carving
so you can be
the big hero!
- I was not!
- Were so!
- I was not!
- Were so! Give me the book!
- No!
Ah!
No way!
What just happened?
- We trashed a 300-year-old book
is what just happened!
- Oh! We are so DOA!
This is AYF!
- Stop spelling stuff!
We're talking, not texting!
- Wait...
What...
- ...is that?
- I bet even Uncle Henry
didn't know it was in there!
- We should go wake him up.
- No! We should check it first.
It's probably nothing.
- OK. Be careful.
Be careful! It's old!
- I am! I am!
- Whoa, whoa!
- It's a map!
- Of the inside
of the mountain!
- What now?
- What'd it say
about the carving?
- How should I know?
- Jade!
- OK, all right. Um...
it said that
the second carving
would be 20 paces
due east of the first,
and the third carving would be
30 paces south of the second.
- Is that it?
- No, it...
It also says that...
Look! Look here!
"Standing in the centre
of the triangle thus formed,
"bear witness the morn's first
rays kiss the mountain's door."
- "Morn's first rays..."
That's gotta be sunrise,
which is in, what,
an hour and a half?
- I'll go wake them!
- Forget it!
By the time they get up,
we'll miss dawn.
- Which means we'll waste
another whole day.
- So let's leave a note,
go find the entrance,
then come back
and get everybody else.
- OK, uh,
we're gonna need
flashlights, batteries,
matches, a compass
and anything else
you can think of.
Meet me outside
in 5 minutes?
- Let's do it!
- Which way do we go?
- Shh! They're asleep! Come on!
- I know!
- Let's go!
- I'm coming!
- Mom!
- Maddie?
What--what's the matter?
- Jake and Jade just left.
- What do you mean,
they left?
- I mean they went
up on the mountain.
- OK, assuming we find all 3
of the hummingbird carvings,
how do we find the middle
of the triangle they form?
- According to
the description,
the triangle has 2 legs
that are the same length:
20 paces.
And they form
a 90-degree angle,
which makes it
a right triangle.
So if one leg is A,
one leg is B,
then the 3rd leg, C,
is the sum of
A squared plus B squared.
Once we find that,
we can halve the angles
and mark the spot
where they intersect.
And that'll be
the circumcentre.
- Huh?
- Uh, don't worry.
I brought string.
- What do you think
you're doing?
- Going with you,
of course.
- Uh, no, you're not.
- You'd still be asleep
if it weren't for me!
- I don't care.
- Then get some rope.
- Rope?
- To tie me to a chair.
Otherwise, I'm going
to follow you.
- Ah! Ugh!
All right, OK.
I don't have time to argue.
Let's go.
But you stay
close to me, OK?
- Yes!
- Here it is!
Now all we have to do
is just find one more!
- OK, which is
20 paces south. So...
1, 2...
4...
...6, 7...
...19, 20!
Wait...
There's no rock here!
- Well, how can
there be a carving
if there's no rock
to carve it on?
You must have
counted wrong.
- No, I'm sure
I counted right.
I just...
Wait a minute.
- Well, dig faster!
It's starting to get light!
- You could help!
- Oh! Yeah, right.
- There's something here!
It must have been
on the surface once.
- But buried
over the years!
Now we have to
find the centre.
- Before the sun comes
up over that ridge!
- Oh no...
- Jake told me the clearing
where they found the carvings
was fairly near the
top of the mountain,
which means we should
take the trail
that leads upwards
from here.
Now aren't you
glad I came along?
- How did you know how
to do this, anyway?
- Unlike you, I actually
paid attention in Geometry.
- Unlike me, you paid
Maddie to tutor you!
- Oh, whatever!
Just finish tying the string!
- All right. Done.
- OK. Where the strings cross
is the centre of the incircle.
- OK. So...
what do you
want me to do?
- Um... OK.
Come stand back-to-back with me
and keep your eyes open.
- Oh, here it comes.
(Laughing)
- Awesome!
- Wicked!
- OK, we have
to get up there
before the sun rises
and the beam fades. Go!
Go! Go! Go!
- Slow down, will you?
My sticks aren't
as long as yours!
- They said it was
45 minutes from the house.
We should be there
any minute.
- Jake!
Jake!
(Exhaling)
Jake!
- In here!
- In where?
- Here.
- I can't believe it!
We should go
get the others!
- Or we could peek inside!
- Just give me a second.
Ah!
There we go.
Just in case
anything happens...
Ah!
It won't take 300 years
for someone to find us.
- Amazing!
- Amazing squared!
Jade actually remembered
what I taught her
about finding the incircle
of a triangle!
- Shouldn't you have, like,
a giant forehead or something?
(Exhaling)
- This is reality, Mom,
not the Syfy Channel!
- Why don't we take that
incredible noodle of yours
and figure out where your
brother and sister went, OK?
- Already did!
They went up there.
- This is it?
This is what all
the fuss was about?
- This is lame! I got up in the
middle of the night for nothing!
- What do you two
think you're doing?
- Yeah! Coming here
without me?
- I told you to
wait outside!
- As it turns out, this whole
"inside the mountain" thing
is highly overrated!
- Yeah, all that hoopla
for a goofy little tunnel
and another one of these
stupid hummingbird thingies?
(Rumbling)
- That doesn't sound good.
(Screaming)
(Screaming)
(Screaming)
- Maddie!
Is everybody all right?
- Yeah...
- Fine, Mom.
- Jade? Jake?
- We're all cool!
We're all cool!
- Not only cool,
that was sweet!
(Jake laughing)
(Birds chirping)
- Hey, Maddie,
how did...
Hmm...
Dana?
- That's warmer than
the pool at the Y!
- Any hotter, and we would
have been toast!
(Grunting)
- Come on.
- It is hot down here!
My clothes will be dry
before I know it!
- Not much of a silver lining.
Can't get out the way we got in.
Which leaves us
stuck down here.
- Not to worry.
- We have a map!
Hmm...
Hmm...
- Keep it hot!
Keep it cold!
Or...
keep it dry!
- Where'd this come from?
- Uh...
From a little
accident we had
with Uncle Henry's journal.
- Nigel!
(Car door opening)
- Well, Uncle Henry said
where Captain Kidd was digging
was actually
a collapsed air vent.
- Which is probably
this one.
- The only other vent,
right here, is how
the Earl got out.
- Yeah, 300 years ago!
I mean, what are even
the odds it's still there?
- They're the only
ones we have!
- OK, Uncle Henry said
that they dug this shaft
to get air to the warriors
building this temple.
- So find the temple.
- And we find our way home.
- Ahh-ooh!
- Uh... Morning!
- Right.
Yeah, come on in.
Close the door.
- OK, so tell me again what
the note on the map says.
- "Let odious rot's insult
to nose offend thee not,
"as 'tis thy compass rose."
- Is that English?
- Duh!
- A compass rose
is the circle on the map
that tells the directions.
- And odious rot
is when you smell...
- Oh, what I'm smelling now
that's disgusting!
- Oh, Jake!
- No, it's not
your brother.
It's sulfuric acid.
- I don't care
what the clue says.
My nose is
totally offended.
- We must be
on the right track.
- Just shows you,
if we work together...
- (Jake): Whoa!
- Jake?
- Where is everybody?
- I have no idea.
- What are you doing?
- We had a prowler.
- A what?
- A man named Nigel Fowler was
threatening Dana last night,
and I think
that he came back...
- What? What is it?
- Well, apparently,
our prowler was actually
Jake and Jade, and it...
It seems like
they found a map.
Let's go!
- What? Go? Go where?
- To the clearing where Jake
and Jade found the hummingbird.
I'll be right down.
You stay there.
- Oh! What are those for?
- No idea.
- Can you see
if anything's inside?
- (Jade): Yeah.
- Be careful.
(Screaming)
(Grunting)
- Ahh!
- Jake?
(Screaming)
(Jake grunting)
You OK?
- Way better
than these guys.
- Sorry for the hysterics.
- Your big brother screamed
louder than you did!
- Did not!
- OK, you two!
Stop bickering, please.
- Hey, look!
Those could be useful, right?
- Good job, sweetie!
(Laughing)
- Excellent!
- (Henry):
Here, look at this.
That's really
something, huh?
- What is it, anyway?
- They found
all 3 carvings.
- Yeah, well, what's
with the string?
- They used it to find
the incentre of the triangle,
which allowed them to find
the entrance to the mountain.
Huh!
- OK, which is...
Which is where?
- Well, we're not gonna know
till tomorrow morning at dawn.
Come on!
Oh!
Good kids! Good kids!
- Well, it looks like we have
to go through the tomb
to get to what the Earl
calls "the canyon."
- Wait, hang on.
Rewind. You mean we actually
have to walk through, like,
all these dead guys?
- Oh, don't be
such a wuss!
Come on!
- Easy for you to say.
You're used to
hanging out with boneheads!
- Shut up!
- No, you shut up!
You're such a jerk!
- Shut up!
Be careful with your torch!
- Whatever!
- Mom?
- Yes?
- What happened
to all these guys?
- What do you
imagine happened?
- I think...
they stayed
on purpose...
to protect the Sun God...
for all eternity.
- Maddie...
I think you're right.
I think these guys
chose to stick around.
- I, on the other hand,
would like to get out of here
as soon as we can.
So what do you say
we catch up with the twins
before they get us
in any more trouble, huh?
- Yeah.
- What are we
looking for now?
- Huh? Oh, the second
air shaft.
- Well, why don't
you use a GPS?
- Well, you got one?
- Ah, no.
- No. Well, neither do I.
A more primitive
version of this device
was used by
the Earl of Lansdowne.
And if my calculations
are correct...
our second shaft should
be just beyond there.
Come on! Let's go!
- It's a tunnel!
- With or without?
- No bones about it...
- Oh, thank goodness!
- (Dana): Jake?
- We're in here!
- Does the map say
where we're headed?
- It says:
"Good care be praised.
"Death's hand is near
"a spot well blazed
"by an Aztec tear."
- OK, well, that made
less sense than the last clue.
- OK, well,
let's break it down.
"Good care be praised."
- Uh... be careful!
- Good.
- "Death's hand
is near" is...
Well, that's obvious.
- And a little scary.
- So what is the spot
blazed by an Aztec tear?
- Sounds like my...
Jake, look out!
(Panting)
(Sighing)
- Good call, squirt.
Man, that is
one long fall!
- Maddie, stay away
from the edge.
- Don't worry.
Jake's watching out for me.
- Ha! Whatever!
- You know what?
I've had about all
I can take of your...
- You've had?
- This is not
the time or the place!
Our lives are in danger!
Do you understand that?
Maddie, take hold
of your brother's pack
and follow him
up the trail, OK?
- OK.
- Hold on.
You, stay here.
(Sighing)
All right...
I wanna know what happened
between the two of you.
Look, Jade...
I know the divorce
was hard.
- It's not about that.
- Then what?
(School bell ringing)
(Cell beeping)
- You're gonna
think it's stupid.
- Try me.
- You know Jake's friend Mark?
- Of course.
- A few months ago,
I got a text from him
after sixth-period gym class
asking me to go
to junior prom.
- Take some shots, bro.
Man, that was
a fun party last night.
Did you guys have fun?
Did you? Yeah?
Yo, Jake!
He wants to shoot?
Take some shots, bro!
(Laughing)
- So, um...
what time?
- What time?
- What time are you
coming to pick me up?
For the prom?
- The prom? You and me?
- But your text...
- No offense, dude,
but even if I wanted to
take a freak to the dance,
which I don't,
you'd be the last act
in the carnival I'd ask.
(All laughing)
- See?
Pretty stupid, huh?
- No.
Why didn't you
come to me?
- Since the split with Dad,
I don't know...
You just...
You always seem to
have your plate full.
- It's 'cause
I kept it that way
to help me be able
to get past...
my problems
with your father,
which, of course, had nothing
to do with you guys.
I've been so unfair
to you, Jade.
I'm sorry.
I just want you to
promise me one thing, OK?
- Sure.
- Don't you ever...
doubt what an amazing
kid you are!
OK?
- OK!
- Come on. Let's go.
- Ah! It's useless!
We've spent hours
looking and...
- And we just have
to look harder.
What is it
that we're missing?
- You know what?
I don't...
...move.
Whatever you do,
do not move!
- What?
- Don't move!
- What are you doing? What?
- Behind you.
- Oh, that doesn't look good.
- No, it's not.
- Oh...
- Oh. Easy, easy,
easy. Easy!
- Whoa!
It's just a harmless
corn snake.
Yes, baby! There we go.
You want him?
- Uh, no, that's OK.
- Very pretty.
- Uh, yeah.
- Well...
Where'd he come from?
- Out of that hole.
- Hey, do you feel
that warm breeze?
- Yeah.
- I think we found
our air shaft.
- Oh! There is no way I am
setting foot on that thing!
- Really something,
isn't it?
- Uh, yeah, something
totally terrifying!
- Jade's right.
This thing's hundreds
of years old.
We're not going to
risk walking on it.
- Yeah, well, no choice.
According to our map,
it's the only way across.
- That's the bad news.
Good news is, if we survive...
- Wait! No, no!
No good news starts with
"If we survive..."
- Well, when we survive,
we'll be really
close to the temple.
- And hopefully, the air shaft
that's gonna get us out of here.
So I figured I would
carry Maddie across first...
- What? No, no.
If we go, we go together
as a family or not at all!
- Hey! Hey!
- Jake!
- (Maddie and Dana):
Jake!
- (All): Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake, be careful!
- Jake!
- Whoa!
- Jake!
- No!
- Jake!
(Screaming)
- (Jade):
Jake, are you all right?
(Panting)
(Grunting)
- Come on! Hurry!
- Let's go!
- Get across
before it falls!
Give me your hand, Maddie.
- Careful!
Watch your step, Maddie.
Grab your sister!
- Jade, come on!
- Maddie, be careful!
- Give me your hand!
Hurry!
(Bridge cracking)
(Screaming)
- Jake?
- Jake? Jade?
- Jade!
- (Maddie): Come on!
- You can do it, sweetheart.
Jade, hang on!
- Jade, take my hand!
- I can't! I'll fall!
- Take my hand!
- Grab your brother's hand!
- Jade!
Trust me!
(Both grunting)
- Come on, baby,
you can do it! Come on!
- Jade, come on!
- Come on! You're nearly there.
- Go ahead.
I've got your back.
- About time!
- You guys can do it!
Come on, sweetheart!
Give me your hand!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- I'm OK!
- Give me your hand!
(Grunting)
- Jade!
- Come on, sweetheart!
- Come on!
- Come on, Jake!
- Come on, Jake!
- Are you OK?
- Yeah.
- Are you OK?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Uh, guys, that Fowler
guy stole our map.
Shouldn't we
try to catch him
while we can still
see his light?
- She's right. Let's go.
- Come on. Wait! Maddie! Maddie!
- Jade!
Look...
I should have
stood up for you...
with Mark, I mean.
I'm sorry.
- Well, you
pretty much saved me
from falling into
a bottomless pit, so...
I suppose
that we're even.
- So...
are we good?
- Yeah, we're good.
Come on.
(Exhaling)
- Ah...
- Henry!
- Huh?
- Hey! Oh...
Hey, look, I found this helmet
in the shed with this rope.
- Yeah, good.
Let me have it.
And here, tie the rope
off over there.
- You're not
going in there.
- Of course I am.
- How old are you?
- Forty-eight.
- Come on, Henry!
- What difference
does it make? Come on!
- What difference
does it make?
You wanna save your
family's life?
- Yeah.
- Well...
the difference is, I'll have
a better chance of doing that.
- We found it!
- (Jade):
It actually exists!
- (Jake):
And we found it!
- I'm proud of you guys.
(Exhaling)
- (Jade): But wait!
That's totally weird.
- They're bats.
(Screeching)
Lots and lots of...
- Bats!
Ahh!
Ah! Ahh!
Ahh!
Whoa! Whoa...
Ahh!
Oh...
OK... OK...
(Breathing heavily)
- You guys have any idea
how important this site is?
How much archaeologists
can learn
just by studying
the art and the architecture?
- Too bad Uncle Henry
isn't here to see this!
- Nobody's gonna see this
unless we get out of here
to tell them about it.
- Well, we can't get out
until we find the air shaft.
- And we can't find the shaft
without finding the map.
- Well, let's go get
the map. Come on.
(Grunting)
Nigel!
- Ah!
- It's so beautiful!
- And so mine.
- You're not taking that mask!
- No?
Who's going to stop me?
Hmm? You?
- Not her! Those!
- Ahh...
(Screaming)
Well, if that
didn't stop me,
you certainly won't!
Get out of my way!
- You have to get by us!
- Oh no! Now what?
(Rumbling)
- Take Maddie! Get out!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I'll be right
behind you! Go!
- Come on!
- Nigel, leave the mask!
Just leave the mask!
If you don't leave it,
you're gonna die with it!
Oh!
- Come on!
(Breathing heavily)
- Wait! Where's Mom?
- I'll go back. You guys go!
- We don't have the map!
- He does!
- Where's my mom?
- Stay back!
- Mom!
- Back!
- Wait!
Maddie! Don't go back!
- Stay back!
- Maddie!
- Back! Back! Stay back!
- Mom!
- Ah!
God! I can't believe
you just did that!
- That-a-girl, squirt!
- Dana!
No, no!
Wait, wait, wait!
- Tom?
- What are you doing here?
- We found a second air shaft.
I came here to help you.
- Mom's still stuck.
She might be hurt!
- Take 'em back
up to the trail.
In about a hundred yards,
you're gonna find--
- An Aztec tear.
- Exactly--
OK, exactly! Go! Go!
We'll be right behind you.
Be careful. This way. This way!
Go! Go! Come on! Be careful.
(Breathing heavily)
(Grunting)
(Crushing)
Uh...
(Grunting)
Dana?
Dana! Dana!
Hey! Hey, Dana!
Dana!
(Crashing)
- Up here! Up here!
Give me your hand!
That's it! Come on!
That's it!
Good!
What!
Fowler!
Fowler, wait!
Where's my family?
- Not my problem!
None of you are!
Not anymore!
(Grunting)
- I've wanted to
do that for years!
- Dana!
Come on!
There you go.
Hey...
Oh!
- Tom?
- Yeah.
Here. Come on.
- Whoa...
- Take it easy.
- Dana!
Dana!
- Where are my kids?
- They're out.
We're next.
- Let's go.
- Come on.
(Breathing heavily)
- Oh no!
Ah...
(Grunting)
- Yeah...
Yeah.
- If the shaft
caved in all the way,
we're finished.
- All we can do is hope.
- And keep digging!
(Grunting)
(Breathing heavily)
(Coughing)
- (Dana):
I think I see an opening.
- Guys, listen!
- (Dana):
Come on, this way!
(Screeching)
I hear something.
- Mom!
- Maddie! Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Don't tell it's blocked.
- I wish I could.
(Digging)
- Wait a minute!
Do you hear that?
(Digging continues)
- Someone's trying
to dig us out!
- Uncle Henry?
- Dana!
- We're here!
- Dana! Kids!
- Henry!
- We're here!
- Uncle Henry!
- Uncle Henry!
- (Tom):
That's it. Easy.
- Henry!
- Ah! Ha!
- Uncle Henry!
- Jake! OK, guys, walk back.
I'm gonna push
these rocks your way!
Great! Stand back!
(Grunting)
- You got it!
There you go!
- Send Maddie through!
Don't be afraid.
Give me your hand.
That's it! Come right
through! There we go!
- Take your time!
- OK, come on. Ready?
- Yeah.
- Just dive.
Go forward! There we go.
- Careful!
- Now run! Run out!
Come on!
There we go!
Out! Watch out!
There we go!
There we go! Go!
Come on! Come on!
Who's there?
There we go!
Watch your step!
They're coming down!
Tom!
Be careful!
- This whole shaft's
coming down!
- Let's get out of here
before it's too late!
(Coughing)
- Come on!
- Henry's right behind me.
- Hey, baby...
- Hurry up! Come on!
- Yeah! Hurry up. Come on.
- Come on! Hurry!
(All coughing)
- (Henry):
All right? You OK?
- Baby... Wait a minute.
Where's Nigel?
- He came out
before all of you,
but he had
a little accident
involving my fist
and his chin.
He's right over here...
No, he...
Where'd he go?
- Well, I don't think
it makes a difference now.
- No, I don't think it does.
- Oh, Henry!
- Oh!
Let's go home, everybody!
Come on!
- Let's go!
- Let's go! Come on.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
- Clean up a little bit!
There we go!
- All right!
- Hey!
- I'm starving!
- Hold on tight!
- (Dana): What are we gonna
do for fun tomorrow?
- Oh! How'd it go?
- Well, Maddie
was first aboard.
- Naturally brilliant child.
And what about Jade?
- She's on.
I think...
I don't know,
but I think
she's relieved
at the prospect
of a fresh start.
(Chuckling)
- And young Jake?
- Well, he met with
the local basketball coach,
and it seems that
they're in desperate need
of a starting forward.
- Excellent! Excellent!
All right then.
What about you?
- Hmm...
The dreams I had
as a little girl...
of digs and discoveries
and temples and tombs...
they all died
with you, Henry.
- Oh, I see.
- You know, when
I arrived here, I...
I was feeling derailed.
And then amazingly,
you came back to life.
And I began to wonder
if it was too late
for my childhood dreams
to do the same.
- So you voted, uh...
- Yes!
- Ah! Ah!
- I voted yes!
- I am so glad!
Oh, so, so glad!
Oh!
(Car door opening)
- Oh! That must be Tom.
He said he was gonna
come up for the day.
(Chanting victoriously)
- Yes! I beat you
to the treasure
for, like,
the 10th time!
- Second time!
You only won 'cause you
skipped the secret passage,
which is cheating!
- The more things change,
the more they stay the same!
Will you please stop arguing
and say good morning?
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Would you like some coffee?
- No thanks.
I just came by to deliver some
good news and some bad news.
- What's the bad?
- Well, it turns out,
you were right.
Oxford Worldwide Financing
stopped payment on that cheque
before it cleared.
- Well, we were
counting on that.
And the rest
of the news?
- You still
own the mountain.
- Yes!
- All right! All right!
- So what are you
gonna do with it?
- Well, you know what?
It felt so good to
reconnect as a family...
- We had a meeting...
- And voted unanimously
to make it permanent.
- By moving here!
- Oh, that's...
- To mark the occasion, I have
a little gift for you, Maddie.
- For me? Really?
- Uh-huh!
That's for not only
using your head,
but also your hat!
- Thank you so much!
- Oh, that's cool!
- Thank you.
- So who wants
to go for a hike?
- On our mountain!
- All right!
- There you go!
- It is, indeed!
- OK!
- You're going to lead the way?
Closed captions: Vision Globale
Uncle Henry?
I mean, I really don't get
why I couldn't go with them.
- Ah, come on!
We've been over this, Dana!
It's your
folks' anniversary.
They just wanna
share an adventure.
- I can be adventurous.
- Oh! Can you?
- Yeah, sure!
Why not?
- Hmm...
Well, to be able to
see beyond the obvious
requires imagination.
What shape is your
imagination in?
- What do you
mean, shape?
- Well, I mean,
how well-tuned is it?
- I'm not exactly sure.
- Hmm. Should we test it?
- Yeah.
- OK. Look, what do you
know about pirates?
- I know
they were mean.
- Oh yes, they were.
Indeed, they were.
And the meanest of them all
was Captain William Kidd,
who, if the legends
are correct,
visited this very mountain.
Now, imagine him
standing over there.
Can you see him?
- Not exactly.
- He's got on
a black tricorn
and a scraggly beard
and yellowing teeth
and a crimson waistcoat.
Go! Go!
Look hard.
You'll never
be able to see
what was or is
or might be
unless you're really
willing to look.
- Yeah...
There he is!
I see him!
- Good!
Now, do you see
his henchmen?
- Henchmen?
- Oh yeah!
A filthy bunch of
ruffians, you know?
Both odoriferous
and dangerous.
And they were
standing over there,
right opposite
their captain.
See 'em?
(Grunting)
- What are they doing here?
- Well, you gotta tell me.
Do they have swords?
Do they have shovels?
- Both, Uncle Henry!
Swords and shovels!
- Oh, then sure as
we're standing here,
they have come to bury...
treasure...
- Looking at the pencil
in a glass of water,
our eyes tell us
it's broken into 2 pieces.
Yet when you remove
the pencil from the glass...
it's not really broken.
Just as with the pencil,
what seems to be
true at first glance,
the circumstantial evidence
against my client,
Antonio Huertas,
must be examined
more carefully.
As jurors, it's
your responsibility...
to use your imagination,
to look harder,
to look beyond
the obvious...
to discover...
the truth.
- Thank you, Counsellor.
We'll recess
for 10 minutes,
and then the jury will
begin deliberations.
- (Man):
Let's go, Mr. Huertas.
(Indistinct chatter
in courtroom)
- Odds?
- Fifty-fifty,
which isn't bad
considering his chances
before you took his case.
- Oh no!
- What?
- My ex is getting
married today,
and I was supposed to
pick up my kids an hour ago
so he could go
on his honeymoon!
All right,
call me when the jury's in.
- Will do.
- You know, don't even
try and defend her, OK?
- I won't.
- 'Cause this is exactly
what I expected,
and you said she wasn't
gonna do this!
- I am so sorry, Brandy!
Court went over.
- OK, you know what?
Save the excuses, Dana.
We both know why
you were late!
(Exhaling)
- All right, look,
I know that she thinks
I intentionally
ruined her big day.
But I promise you...
- No, don't worry.
We'll catch
the next flight.
- Look, I really
am sorry, Colin.
There was nothing
I could do.
- Yes, there was.
You could have been here
on time, like you promised.
- (Brandy): Colin!
- Oh...
So! Other than
the grand finale...
how was the wedding?
- Can we just go?
- I totally missed
a scrimmage because of you.
- The wedding
was perfectly fine,
except for the bride,
of course,
who wasn't you.
So what's for dinner?
- (Dana):
Pizza time!
- OK, so what do
you want me to do?
- Chef duty.
Oven's hot.
- Great.
- Where's your sister?
- Don't know.
Plugged into that emo-screamo
junk she listens to.
She probably can't even hear--
- Hear what?
Are you dissing me again?
- Will you get over it?
- Excuse me!
- Over what?
- Nothing.
- Nothing.
- Well, whatever
"nothing" is,
it's put you two at odds
for the past few months.
I'm getting
tired of it!
- You and Dad can fight,
but we can't?
- You know,
if you are referring
to what happened
today at the church...
(Phone ringing)
Perfect!
(Exhaling)
Sorry, I have to take this.
- Of course you do.
- Hey, Joel.
When?
All right,
I'll be down in a minute.
Yup. Bye.
OK, the jury's in
on the case that I'm working.
We are gonna continue
this conversation tomorrow.
- Me too. Way busy.
- What about you?
You booked, too?
- Afraid you're gonna have
to take a number, Mom.
(Exhaling)
- I'm gonna be home
in a couple of hours.
OK? Could you two please
try not to kill each other?
OK?
- 18-year-old robbery suspect
Antonio Huertas is free today
thanks to the efforts
of public defender Dana James.
Huertas, who was charged
with felony armed robbery,
faced 20 years
in state prison.
- Here's to Mom!
Always there for
the poor and downtrodden!
- If Antonio's sister
is as snotty as you,
he might wanna ask
the jury for a recount!
- If she's a smart
alec like you,
he might wanna tickle her
until she wets her pants!
- Not in the house!
And eat something.
OK? A glass of juice
isn't breakfast.
- I'm going to
the gym after school,
then to a party
at Caroline's.
- What party
at Caroline's?
- Just a party.
- You didn't tell me.
- When would I?
I've barely seen you all week.
- Are her parents
going to be there?
- I don't know.
What's with the
cross-examination?
- Are they? Jake!
- As far as I know,
they'll be there, OK?
- No, it's not OK!
You find out
and have them call me.
And I suppose you're going
to Caroline's, as well.
- As if! I wouldn't be
caught dead at her house!
- Trust me, she wouldn't be
caught dead inviting you!
- All right, enough!
If Caroline's
mother calls me,
you can go
to the party.
But I want you to
come home before you do.
Keep rolling your eyes,
and you're not going!
- Whatever.
- And you...
your mood has gone from
white to grey to black!
It's starting
to scare me!
I mean, I expect you to
walk in that door
with some fohawk
and "Love-Hate"
tattooed on your knuckles!
(Exhaling)
Jade, I can't help you
solve this problem with Jake
unless you
share it with me.
- There is no problem,
other than Jake
being a complete jerk.
So can I go now?
- Fine. Go.
- It's hormonal.
They'll grow out of it.
- Ha! Just in time for
you to grow into it!
What's this?
- Found it on the porch.
- Tesla Falls...
- That's where
Uncle Henry lived, no?
- Uh-huh.
- What's it say?
- It's from a lawyer.
Somebody wants to buy
the property Henry left me
for... a lot of moola!
- I know you've told me,
like, a zillion stories
about your Uncle Henry.
You never said
what did him in.
- A cliff.
- A cliff did him in?
- Well, technically, no.
Flying off it actually
did the trick.
- What happened?
- Um...
I was in college.
Well, his name
is Colin,
and he wants to
be an orthodontist.
And Uncle Henry and I
were in his old jeep.
And, you know, I remember
telling him about your dad.
He is so smart!
And he's so cute!
Uncle Henry,
are you listening to me?
What...
What?
Who is that?
- Nigel.
- What do you mean?
- It's Nigel Fowler!
- He works for you!
He's your friend!
- Not since he found out what's
really inside the mountain!
Ah!
Get out of the car.
- What?
- Get out of the car now!
- I don't understand!
- You don't have to understand!
Hide behind the bushes!
Stay down!
Ah!
- Sounds like
something from a movie.
- Yeah...
a movie without
a happy ending.
(Horn honking)
Oh! There's your bus!
Let's go.
- Oh, what about
the Fowler guy?
- Well, I called
the police,
but no one witnessed
the actual crash,
so no charges
were filed.
And Nigel...
he just disappeared.
- Spooky!
- Yeah... spooky.
- Well, what about
the offer?
- I don't know, because
it's a 24-hour deadline.
And if we do go,
we're gonna have to go
tomorrow to sign the papers.
- Let's do it!
Let's go! Please!
Pretty please with
sugar on top!
- I'll tell you what:
I'll think about it.
But you need to
catch a bus.
Have a great day.
Go! Go! Go!
- Oh, and while you're thinking,
keep in mind 4 words:
"Harvard tuition,
very expensive!"
- OK!
- Bye!
- Bye.
- This puzzle has boggled
some of the greatest minds
in the Western world.
(Laughing)
What an exceptional child.
You...
- Mom, I'm home!
- I'm in here, honey.
Hey, Maddie, did I...
Did I ever show you
this puzzle?
- I don't think so.
Hmm... let's see. I...
- What an exceptional child!
Hey, how was school?
- Same old.
So...
- So what?
- Don't tease!
We going or not?
- Going where?
The mall? Because
I'm desperate for a ride!
- Not the mall.
Uncle Henry's.
- The guy you used to visit
when you were a kid?
- What about
Uncle Henry?
- You know, since fate has
gotten us all together
in one place,
I would like to
convene a meeting.
- Yeah, I don't
have time for a...
- No, you need
to make time.
Um...
Years ago, I...
I inherited some
property from my uncle.
- Who died
in a spectacular car crash!
- You didn't tell us that part.
- Really?
- That's beside
the point.
- The point is,
someone wants to buy it.
We need to go up there
to sign some papers.
- Maddie...
- Sorry.
- This money will
go a long way
into paying
for your college.
And, um,
you know what?
I think a weekend
in the country
might be good for us.
- So we're going?
All right!
- Together.
- What?
- As a family.
- When?
- Tomorrow morning.
- But...
- It's Saturday!
- That's final!
- (Jade): Ah!
- Yes!
- All right, you can
go get ice cream.
I'm not gonna be
long, all right?
- Sure.
- I'll be getting some
cookies-and-cream ice cream.
- That's a really
good idea.
I want cookies-and-cream
ice cream, too.
- OK, cool.
- Watch for cars!
- (Jake): Oh!
- (Jade): Whoa! Run!
(Groaning)
- Sorry, I didn't...
Sorry, I didn't
hear you come in.
- No, no, that's OK.
I was enjoying
the drum solo.
- You think Charlie Watts
should be worried?
- Probably not.
But it's still nice to meet
a lawyer who has rhythm.
- It's nice to meet a client
with a sense of humour.
I'm Tom Kent.
I assume
you're Dana James.
- I so appreciate you
coming in on a weekend.
- Oh no, it's my
pleasure. Yeah.
No, please,
have a seat.
Papers are all
ready to sign,
unless you decided
to change your mind
since we spoke
last night.
- No, my mind's made up.
So what's your dog's name?
- Oh, uh...
That there is...
Well, that's Holmes.
- As in Sherlock?
- As in Oliver Wendell.
(Groaning)
- So who's the buyer?
- Uh, a holding
company offshore.
Oxford Worldwide Financing.
- Who's the principal?
- No idea.
My only contact with
them has been by phone.
They retained me
to find you,
make an offer,
cut a deal.
- A bit mysterious, no?
- Maybe.
But they're willing to pay
twice what the property's worth
as long as you waive the
seller's-remorse period.
So once you sign,
there's no backing out.
It'll take 5 days for
the cheque to clear.
But after that,
the mountain is theirs.
- Just the mountain,
not the lodge?
- Apparently, they're only
interested in the land. Yeah.
Crazy, huh? There you go.
There's a pen.
- Thank you.
- You know,
it's a nice old house.
Make a good getaway
for you and Mr. James.
- Uh, Mr. James is
on his honeymoon
with a new Mrs. James.
- That's good.
I mean, not good that
he's on his honeymoon,
but good that
maybe you'll decide
to keep the place
for yourself.
Yeah... I mean,
and if you do,
I think you'll find that
we have a lot to offer...
in Tesla Falls,
that is.
- I'm sure you do.
- Yeah.
- Well...
- Well...
(Exhaling)
- It's been very nice
to meet you, Mr. Kent.
- Tom, please.
- OK!
Uh...
See you!
- I hope so.
(Grunting)
- Wow!
Kind of beat-up!
- It's been a while since
it's seen any love.
- Got a "whatever you do,
don't go into the basement"
sort of vibe.
- I think it's awesome!
Let's go inside!
- I'll wait out here until you
break through the cobwebs!
- Me too!
- Yell out if you see
somebody in a hockey mask.
- This place is so cool!
I'm gonna go and check out
the upstairs.
- OK. Don't destroy anything!
- OK!
(Exhaling)
(Gun cocking)
- Uncle Henry?
- I'm surprised
to see you here.
- You're surprised?
I'm surprised...
You're dead!
How could you...
I loved you!
I wanted to be you!
- Hey, Mom, guess what!
I found this really cool...
Oh...
- Ah...
Oh my...
You look just like
your mother 30 years ago!
You must be Madelyn!
- Yes, I am.
And you're...
- I'm Henry.
- Uncle Henry?
- Yes, that's me.
- You don't look like
you went off a cliff.
- Oh!
Because I didn't.
My jeep did.
- So you never
really croaked?
- No.
No, I was thrown from the car,
broke a couple of ribs.
But I just... I got up.
I walked away.
- Walked away where?
- Europe, Asia,
South America.
Started consulting, under
an assumed name, of course.
- Of course...
- (Jake): Hello?
- (Jade):
Any "body" in here?
- Uh, guys,
this is Uncle Henry.
- Yeah, right.
Nice try, squirt.
- So you must be Jake,
I take it? And you're Jade?
Hmm?
Did you ever
Google yourself?
Oh, it's quite interesting!
No, Maddie is
telling you the truth.
Years ago, I let your mother
think that I was dead.
- And I'm still waiting
for you to tell me why.
- Well, it's rather
a long story.
It'd be better
if you all stayed over
and I can
tell it properly.
- Wait, wait. So we're actually
going to, like, sleep here?
- Just...
Go to the van
and bring in your stuff.
- Yes! Yes!
- It's a little chilly in here.
I think I'll start a fire.
- Awesome!
- Are you insane?
- Sorry, I didn't
know it was loaded!
- So let's hear it.
What's this all about?
- About a book.
A personal journal.
Actually, it's written in code.
What do you remember
about Nigel Fowler?
- I remember he didn't
like me very much,
although he always
pretended that he did.
- And I tried
to mentor him,
but ultimately, I found out
he had ulterior motives.
- What do you mean?
- He'd blow up
the Sphinx
if it made money
for him and his people.
- And you had no idea?
- No.
No, I really didn't...
not until the day he tried
to force me off the road.
Here, sit down.
(Fire crackling)
Look, since then,
I have found out an awful
lot more about this guy.
- Like what?
- Like when he was
studying with me,
he'd been hired by these
very dangerous guys
who had some
wealthy clients
who were willing to pay small
fortunes for rare antiquities.
- OK, so what does
this mysterious journal
have to do with Nigel
and you pretending to be dead?
- I had formulated
this theory
about what was really
inside of the mountain,
and I stupidly
shared it with Nigel.
And on the last day
that I saw you,
Nigel overheard
a conversation that I had
with a rare bookseller
in London.
This guy had
found this journal
in a library in
a Scottish castle.
And I think that Nigel felt that
if he could get to it first--
- And eliminate you.
- And you too.
Don't forget what a threat
you were to him.
- Then he'd get
what's in the mountain
with nobody
in his way.
- That's right.
- Hey, what about food?
Running on empty here.
- Yeah, good.
Well, we've got
a full pantry,
and I could whip
something up.
What do you think?
- All right.
- OK.
- Not in the house!
- Ah, why not? Why not?
It's as good
a place as any.
But you know what?
Actually...
I have an old hoop hanging
on the side of the shed.
- No way!
- Way! Yes way!
Yes way, right?
- Yes.
- Yes way!
(Laughing)
- All right.
- OK.
Hey!
Oh, he's a good kid,
you know?
Come on, let's go!
- Wow! That's enough
food to last...
- Till I find my way
into the mountain.
At least,
that's the plan.
Well...
What?
- I...
sold the mountain.
- What?
- You died, remember?
You left it to me
in your will!
I mean, I sat on it
for 18 years, Henry!
I mean, I couldn't even
bring myself to come up here
because of the memories,
until out of the blue,
I got a letter.
Somebody wanted
to buy it.
And so I sold it
this morning!
- But you can get
out of this, right?
(Exhaling)
- It's not possible.
Trust me.
- Why not?
- I'm a lawyer,
and it's an iron-clad contract.
- Oh...
- Now, if the cheque clears
in the next 5 days,
it's gone.
- Who bought it?
- What's the difference?
- Who?
- Oxford Worldwide Financing.
- Oxford?
That's where I met Nigel.
- Don't tell me
I sold the mountain
to Nigel Fowler.
How could I be
so stupid?
- It's not you.
It's me.
- I'm sorry, Henry.
- You know,
I've always said,
when a family's in trouble,
they run together, not apart.
And I just didn't
follow my own advice.
But maybe it's
not too late.
I mean, we still
have 5 days, right?
- That was beautiful.
It's so nice to
hear you sing again.
It's been a while.
- Yeah, well, inspiration's been
a little hard to come by lately.
- You know, Jade,
if you wanna talk about--
- I don't.
(Exhaling)
- Someday...
she'll discover,
angst is optional.
- Thank you, Dr. Freud!
- You're welcome.
- Come on.
Come here, you.
(Laughing)
- Ha! Hey!
This reminds me of Dana
when she was your age.
- You talking about Dana
as in my mom, Dana?
- Uh-huh! I put that thing up
for her to practice.
She became
quite an ace.
She never told you?
- That'd require us to have
an actual conversation.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing.
Well, you know
how it is.
Between Mom's job
and school and sports
and Dad's shared custody,
there's just not
a lot of free time.
- I see. Hmm.
- But it's cool,
though, you know?
- Right. Cool.
Wow! So you hungry?
I got it. Huh?
- Yeah.
Oh, nice try!
- I need to practice.
Maybe you can show
me some tips, huh?
- OK.
- All right.
- Ah...
- This is amazing,
Uncle Henry!
- Yeah, well, it's just a little
recipe I picked up in Egypt
while I was surveying
the Temple of Karnak.
Do you want some?
- I could actually use
a little more, please.
- So what's inside
the mountain, Uncle Henry?
And what's it have
to do with pirates?
- Ah, well...
You remember Captain Kidd,
don't you, Dana?
- Of course.
- What did we decide
he was doing
that afternoon you saw
him on the mountain?
- You saw him?
- Yup.
In here.
(Crickets chirping)
He was burying treasure.
- Oh no, it turns out he wasn't.
He was digging for treasure.
- How'd you figure that out?
- Inadvertently.
I was studying a totally
different subject,
and I came upon
this shipping manifest.
And it told of 2 vessels
that were bought by
the Earl of Lansdowne,
a Scottish archaeologist.
- So why'd Earl
buy these boats?
- Earl was his title, doofus.
- Whatever!
- OK, let's let Uncle Henry
finish his story.
- Well, he needed the boats
for an expedition in 1689
to this mountain.
- Why this mountain?
- He thought he knew
what was inside
and wanted to see
whether he was right.
- So did he find out?
- Yeah, was he right?
- Well, yes, he found out
and yes, he was right.
- Well, so what
happened to him?
- Well, on his way
back to Scotland
to organize a proper
scientific excavation,
he was captured and
tortured by your friend
Captain William Kidd.
- Did he tell them
about the mountain?
- Yes, he did,
and then they
foolishly killed him.
- Why foolishly?
- Because he told them
where the mountain was,
but he didn't tell them
how to get inside.
- So the secret
was lost forever?
- Not quite.
I mentioned that the Earl
commissioned 2 ships, didn't I?
- Right. Um...
What happened to
the second one?
- Well, he escaped Kidd,
and he returned home to
Scotland carrying with him...
this journal.
- (Dana):
You beat Nigel to it!
- Yes, I did.
Unfortunately, it was
written in a complex code.
- Did you break it?
- No, I tried for 18 years.
Believe me.
But it took
a supercomputer in Zurich
to finally crack it.
- What did the code say?
- What's in the journal?
- Tell us! Please!
- Well, the journal describes...
what the Earl saw...
as he descended into
the heart of the mountain.
- Which was?
- Which was what
I'm gonna tell you...
first thing
in the morning.
Nope! That's it!
- Come on!
- Come on!
- What kind of story is that?
- That's not fair!
- That's it.
That's all you're getting.
Hmm...
(Fire crackling)
You know, the kids seem
to like their rooms,
especially Maddie.
(Laughing)
Meeting your family...
makes me regret
even more
not having you in my life
all these years.
- Oh, believe me,
I regret it more than you.
You were my rudder.
And when I lost you...
- I'm sorry, Dana.
You've been through
a lot lately, right?
(Exhaling)
Do you feel like telling me
about you and...
Colin? Colin.
- Not much to tell,
except that
this whole mess
has taken such
a toll on my kids...
Jade and Jake, especially.
- Yeah, I guess
I can see that.
- You know, I dragged
them up here this weekend.
I figured, you know,
new environment,
quality time...
None of which
changed a thing...
until you showed up.
I haven't seen
my kids so...
(Exhaling)
I don't know...
innocent...
in a long time.
- Well, it doesn't have
anything to do with me.
This mountain,
it just brings out the best
and the worst in people.
It has for centuries.
- I missed you, Henry.
- I missed you, too.
I hope it hasn't
all been for nothing.
(Exhaling)
Me too.
Good night.
- Well, good night.
Oh...
Good night.
Sweet dreams.
(Loon calling)
(Henry): You're gonna work off
some of that food, I think!
- Oh yeah?
(Henry and kids chattering)
Straight through the woods,
then we're gonna
go up the hill...
- Are we gonna take that trail
that you told us about?
(Chattering, laughing)
- (Jake): Awesome!
- Let's go
straight through...
- So what's the big
secret, Uncle Henry?
- Yeah, spill!
- You can trust us.
We're family.
- Yes, you are.
Well, to start out with,
I want you to tell me everything
you know about the Aztecs.
- They were from Mexico.
- Well, that's where
they ended up.
But even their
own legends say
that they originally came from
the place of the herons.
- Herons, as in birds?
- That's right.
According to
their mythology,
if one were to follow
the migration of the herons,
they'd end up
in the place
where the Aztec
civilization was born.
- Anybody ever
try to find it?
- Yes, they did in 1519.
Moctezuma, who was
the Aztec leader,
sent 1,000 warriors
and a golden mask,
which was a symbol
of their revered Sun God,
back to the place from
which they all were born.
- Ah! Which was
where, exactly?
- I believe...
that you're standing on it.
- Cool!
- So these Aztecs buried
a gold mask right here
under our feet?
- Well, way, way under!
This mountain is nothing
but a honeycomb
of caverns and tunnels.
Now, you see, I think that
the Aztecs found a way in,
and then they built a temple
to house their god.
And then they
disappeared forever.
- So how do we get
inside the mountain?
- Well... we've got 4 days
to figure that one out.
Assuming your mother will
let you stay, of course.
(Sighing)
(Laughing)
- At school, I really like
the botanical samples
in the little bottles...
- Oh! You scared me!
- Hello!
- She was your age.
- Just around here?
- Hello!
Hey, there
I hope you don't
mind my dropping by.
- Not at all.
- I had copies made
of the agreement,
and I thought it'd be better
if I give them to you in person
rather than,
you know, by mail.
- That was very nice you.
Mr. Kent, this is
my whole family.
This is Jade,
Jake, Maddie...
- Hi!
- ...and Uncle Henry.
- Hi.
- Does your father practice law
in Tesla Falls?
- Uh, I... I inherited his
clients when he passed away,
about 2 years ago now.
- I'm sorry
to hear that.
I knew him well,
your father.
He was a good man.
- Yes, he was. Thank you.
- We're going on a treasure
hunt. You wanna come?
- Maddie!
- Oh, that sounds...
- All right then!
Um...
Let's all break up
into groups.
- Me and Uncle Henry!
- OK. What's your first name?
- Tom.
- Why don't you go with Dana?
- Works for me.
- Wait, which leaves me
stuck with Jade?
- Uh, who's stuck
with who?
- So what exactly
are we looking for?
- Carvings in stone
of a hummingbird.
- Hummingbird?
- Yeah.
The Aztecs believed
that dead warriors
came back
as hummingbirds.
Blue hummingbirds,
to be exact.
- Aztecs, huh?
Well, sounds cool!
- Yeah! The journal says that
where you'll find one carving,
you'll find 2 more.
Got it?
- Which will lead us to
the Sun God's temple!
- Exactly!
- Wow! Hummingbird carving,
Sun God temple. I got it.
- You're on!
OK, let's get
some sandwiches
and refill up
our canteens
and head on out.
Welcome, Tom!
- You up for this?
- Does Moctezuma
want revenge?
Don't answer that.
So how long you been
a public defender?
- Pretty much since
I passed the bar.
- It must be exciting work.
- Well, it better be,
considering the lousy pay.
(Laughing)
Where'd you live
before Tesla Falls?
- Oh, New York.
I was corporate counsel
for a big insurance company.
- So... is the grass
really greener?
- Uh-huh.
Getting more so every day.
- Come on, Uncle Henry!
Keep up!
- Ah...
Don't worry about me.
- Hey, this is where
we were this morning!
- That's right!
According to the journal,
the Earl thought that
this was the entrance
to one of 2 shafts that supplied
fresh air to the warriors
who were constructing
the temple.
- Cool.
- Yeah, cool.
That's what it did.
It kept 'em cool.
You know...
if you use
your imagination,
you'll probably
see them digging.
- Yeah, I see them!
Lots of them!
- Where?
- Right there! See?
And they're digging,
just like you said!
How come the hole's
filled up?
- I don't know.
It probably collapsed...
way before the Earl
ever found it.
- Which only
leaves one shaft.
- That's right!
And the elusive entrance.
"One way in, one way out."
That's what the Earl wrote.
- Hey...
- What?
- Oh, I thought
I saw someone.
- Where?
- Over there.
- Are you sure?
- Maybe. I could be wrong.
- You really think there's
something inside this thing?
- Why shouldn't there be?
- The whole Aztec thing
sounds a little wacked to me.
- Then sit it out.
You're good at that.
- Hey, we're supposed
to be a team. Remember?
- We stopped being a team
a while ago, remember?
- That's it,
I'm taking a break.
- What, again?
We just took a break!
- That was lunch.
(Grunting)
- What?
- It wouldn't kill you
to try and fit in.
- With your puffed-
and-buffed crowd?
Yeah, no thanks!
- Right, better to
avoid the competition,
not worry
about how you look.
- I'm not in competition
with you, them or anyone.
- All I'm saying is, if you'd
stop trying to be a freak,
maybe somebody
would ask you out,
for real
instead of...
- If I wanted a date,
I could get one.
And I could promise you,
it wouldn't be with
your brain-dead...
Wait...
- What are you doing?
- Move.
- What are you doing?
- Move!
(Exhaling)
- Yes!
(Laughing)
We found it!
- We found the carving!
- What?
- We found the carving!
- You what?
- Hey, hey, hey!
What's all
the yelling about?
- We did it!
- We found the hummingbird!
- No? Fantastic! Where?
- On a rock wall
under some moss.
- You found something?
- Yeah, about
45 minutes from here.
- Come on!
- Let's go!
- Stop! Hold on!
Calm down.
It's getting dark.
- No, no,
your mother's right.
We really can't go
until the morning.
- Come on!
- No!
The Sun God has
waited 500 years.
One more night's not
gonna make a difference.
Come on.
- Let's go now!
- Let's go play
Monopoly or something.
Get it out of
your minds. Come on.
- I thought
you guys were...
- Crackpots?
(Laughing)
- No, I was gonna say,
just playing a game.
- It's not a game. My...
My uncle has spent
most of his life
trying to uncover
the secrets of this mountain.
And if we do find
a way inside,
we could discover
one of the most important
archeological sites
in North America.
- Then I better take things
more seriously tomorrow.
That is, if you don't
mind my coming back out.
- Tom, I don't want
you to think that...
- All I think is, I haven't
had this much fun in...
in ages.
- OK.
- OK?
- Mm-hmm.
- So I'll see you tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- Good night.
- Good night.
(Engine starting)
(Exhaling)
(Chain jingling)
Jake?
- Hello, Dana.
Long time.
- Not long enough.
- I've been
watching you...
and your whelps,
crawling all over
my mountain.
- Yeah, well,
it's not yours, not yet.
- If you care about
your children, Dana,
you won't wait.
You'll pack them
into your soccer van
and drive them
back to suburbia
while you still can.
(Gun cocking)
Henry!
You're looking well...
for a corpse.
- Take your hands
off her, Nigel,
or we'll see what you
look like in that condition.
Nigel!
Why did you buy
the mountain now?
- A phone call from
a colleague in Zurich
made it seem like
a wise investment.
- I deal with lowlife
all the time at work, Henry.
They don't
intimidate me.
But when it comes
to my children,
that's a different story.
I can't stay here,
not now,
not with my kids.
We're leaving
in the morning.
(Gasping)
- Ah! You are so sick!
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
- Right. You're trying
to figure out
how to use the carving
so you can be
the big hero!
- I was not!
- Were so!
- I was not!
- Were so! Give me the book!
- No!
Ah!
No way!
What just happened?
- We trashed a 300-year-old book
is what just happened!
- Oh! We are so DOA!
This is AYF!
- Stop spelling stuff!
We're talking, not texting!
- Wait...
What...
- ...is that?
- I bet even Uncle Henry
didn't know it was in there!
- We should go wake him up.
- No! We should check it first.
It's probably nothing.
- OK. Be careful.
Be careful! It's old!
- I am! I am!
- Whoa, whoa!
- It's a map!
- Of the inside
of the mountain!
- What now?
- What'd it say
about the carving?
- How should I know?
- Jade!
- OK, all right. Um...
it said that
the second carving
would be 20 paces
due east of the first,
and the third carving would be
30 paces south of the second.
- Is that it?
- No, it...
It also says that...
Look! Look here!
"Standing in the centre
of the triangle thus formed,
"bear witness the morn's first
rays kiss the mountain's door."
- "Morn's first rays..."
That's gotta be sunrise,
which is in, what,
an hour and a half?
- I'll go wake them!
- Forget it!
By the time they get up,
we'll miss dawn.
- Which means we'll waste
another whole day.
- So let's leave a note,
go find the entrance,
then come back
and get everybody else.
- OK, uh,
we're gonna need
flashlights, batteries,
matches, a compass
and anything else
you can think of.
Meet me outside
in 5 minutes?
- Let's do it!
- Which way do we go?
- Shh! They're asleep! Come on!
- I know!
- Let's go!
- I'm coming!
- Mom!
- Maddie?
What--what's the matter?
- Jake and Jade just left.
- What do you mean,
they left?
- I mean they went
up on the mountain.
- OK, assuming we find all 3
of the hummingbird carvings,
how do we find the middle
of the triangle they form?
- According to
the description,
the triangle has 2 legs
that are the same length:
20 paces.
And they form
a 90-degree angle,
which makes it
a right triangle.
So if one leg is A,
one leg is B,
then the 3rd leg, C,
is the sum of
A squared plus B squared.
Once we find that,
we can halve the angles
and mark the spot
where they intersect.
And that'll be
the circumcentre.
- Huh?
- Uh, don't worry.
I brought string.
- What do you think
you're doing?
- Going with you,
of course.
- Uh, no, you're not.
- You'd still be asleep
if it weren't for me!
- I don't care.
- Then get some rope.
- Rope?
- To tie me to a chair.
Otherwise, I'm going
to follow you.
- Ah! Ugh!
All right, OK.
I don't have time to argue.
Let's go.
But you stay
close to me, OK?
- Yes!
- Here it is!
Now all we have to do
is just find one more!
- OK, which is
20 paces south. So...
1, 2...
4...
...6, 7...
...19, 20!
Wait...
There's no rock here!
- Well, how can
there be a carving
if there's no rock
to carve it on?
You must have
counted wrong.
- No, I'm sure
I counted right.
I just...
Wait a minute.
- Well, dig faster!
It's starting to get light!
- You could help!
- Oh! Yeah, right.
- There's something here!
It must have been
on the surface once.
- But buried
over the years!
Now we have to
find the centre.
- Before the sun comes
up over that ridge!
- Oh no...
- Jake told me the clearing
where they found the carvings
was fairly near the
top of the mountain,
which means we should
take the trail
that leads upwards
from here.
Now aren't you
glad I came along?
- How did you know how
to do this, anyway?
- Unlike you, I actually
paid attention in Geometry.
- Unlike me, you paid
Maddie to tutor you!
- Oh, whatever!
Just finish tying the string!
- All right. Done.
- OK. Where the strings cross
is the centre of the incircle.
- OK. So...
what do you
want me to do?
- Um... OK.
Come stand back-to-back with me
and keep your eyes open.
- Oh, here it comes.
(Laughing)
- Awesome!
- Wicked!
- OK, we have
to get up there
before the sun rises
and the beam fades. Go!
Go! Go! Go!
- Slow down, will you?
My sticks aren't
as long as yours!
- They said it was
45 minutes from the house.
We should be there
any minute.
- Jake!
Jake!
(Exhaling)
Jake!
- In here!
- In where?
- Here.
- I can't believe it!
We should go
get the others!
- Or we could peek inside!
- Just give me a second.
Ah!
There we go.
Just in case
anything happens...
Ah!
It won't take 300 years
for someone to find us.
- Amazing!
- Amazing squared!
Jade actually remembered
what I taught her
about finding the incircle
of a triangle!
- Shouldn't you have, like,
a giant forehead or something?
(Exhaling)
- This is reality, Mom,
not the Syfy Channel!
- Why don't we take that
incredible noodle of yours
and figure out where your
brother and sister went, OK?
- Already did!
They went up there.
- This is it?
This is what all
the fuss was about?
- This is lame! I got up in the
middle of the night for nothing!
- What do you two
think you're doing?
- Yeah! Coming here
without me?
- I told you to
wait outside!
- As it turns out, this whole
"inside the mountain" thing
is highly overrated!
- Yeah, all that hoopla
for a goofy little tunnel
and another one of these
stupid hummingbird thingies?
(Rumbling)
- That doesn't sound good.
(Screaming)
(Screaming)
(Screaming)
- Maddie!
Is everybody all right?
- Yeah...
- Fine, Mom.
- Jade? Jake?
- We're all cool!
We're all cool!
- Not only cool,
that was sweet!
(Jake laughing)
(Birds chirping)
- Hey, Maddie,
how did...
Hmm...
Dana?
- That's warmer than
the pool at the Y!
- Any hotter, and we would
have been toast!
(Grunting)
- Come on.
- It is hot down here!
My clothes will be dry
before I know it!
- Not much of a silver lining.
Can't get out the way we got in.
Which leaves us
stuck down here.
- Not to worry.
- We have a map!
Hmm...
Hmm...
- Keep it hot!
Keep it cold!
Or...
keep it dry!
- Where'd this come from?
- Uh...
From a little
accident we had
with Uncle Henry's journal.
- Nigel!
(Car door opening)
- Well, Uncle Henry said
where Captain Kidd was digging
was actually
a collapsed air vent.
- Which is probably
this one.
- The only other vent,
right here, is how
the Earl got out.
- Yeah, 300 years ago!
I mean, what are even
the odds it's still there?
- They're the only
ones we have!
- OK, Uncle Henry said
that they dug this shaft
to get air to the warriors
building this temple.
- So find the temple.
- And we find our way home.
- Ahh-ooh!
- Uh... Morning!
- Right.
Yeah, come on in.
Close the door.
- OK, so tell me again what
the note on the map says.
- "Let odious rot's insult
to nose offend thee not,
"as 'tis thy compass rose."
- Is that English?
- Duh!
- A compass rose
is the circle on the map
that tells the directions.
- And odious rot
is when you smell...
- Oh, what I'm smelling now
that's disgusting!
- Oh, Jake!
- No, it's not
your brother.
It's sulfuric acid.
- I don't care
what the clue says.
My nose is
totally offended.
- We must be
on the right track.
- Just shows you,
if we work together...
- (Jake): Whoa!
- Jake?
- Where is everybody?
- I have no idea.
- What are you doing?
- We had a prowler.
- A what?
- A man named Nigel Fowler was
threatening Dana last night,
and I think
that he came back...
- What? What is it?
- Well, apparently,
our prowler was actually
Jake and Jade, and it...
It seems like
they found a map.
Let's go!
- What? Go? Go where?
- To the clearing where Jake
and Jade found the hummingbird.
I'll be right down.
You stay there.
- Oh! What are those for?
- No idea.
- Can you see
if anything's inside?
- (Jade): Yeah.
- Be careful.
(Screaming)
(Grunting)
- Ahh!
- Jake?
(Screaming)
(Jake grunting)
You OK?
- Way better
than these guys.
- Sorry for the hysterics.
- Your big brother screamed
louder than you did!
- Did not!
- OK, you two!
Stop bickering, please.
- Hey, look!
Those could be useful, right?
- Good job, sweetie!
(Laughing)
- Excellent!
- (Henry):
Here, look at this.
That's really
something, huh?
- What is it, anyway?
- They found
all 3 carvings.
- Yeah, well, what's
with the string?
- They used it to find
the incentre of the triangle,
which allowed them to find
the entrance to the mountain.
Huh!
- OK, which is...
Which is where?
- Well, we're not gonna know
till tomorrow morning at dawn.
Come on!
Oh!
Good kids! Good kids!
- Well, it looks like we have
to go through the tomb
to get to what the Earl
calls "the canyon."
- Wait, hang on.
Rewind. You mean we actually
have to walk through, like,
all these dead guys?
- Oh, don't be
such a wuss!
Come on!
- Easy for you to say.
You're used to
hanging out with boneheads!
- Shut up!
- No, you shut up!
You're such a jerk!
- Shut up!
Be careful with your torch!
- Whatever!
- Mom?
- Yes?
- What happened
to all these guys?
- What do you
imagine happened?
- I think...
they stayed
on purpose...
to protect the Sun God...
for all eternity.
- Maddie...
I think you're right.
I think these guys
chose to stick around.
- I, on the other hand,
would like to get out of here
as soon as we can.
So what do you say
we catch up with the twins
before they get us
in any more trouble, huh?
- Yeah.
- What are we
looking for now?
- Huh? Oh, the second
air shaft.
- Well, why don't
you use a GPS?
- Well, you got one?
- Ah, no.
- No. Well, neither do I.
A more primitive
version of this device
was used by
the Earl of Lansdowne.
And if my calculations
are correct...
our second shaft should
be just beyond there.
Come on! Let's go!
- It's a tunnel!
- With or without?
- No bones about it...
- Oh, thank goodness!
- (Dana): Jake?
- We're in here!
- Does the map say
where we're headed?
- It says:
"Good care be praised.
"Death's hand is near
"a spot well blazed
"by an Aztec tear."
- OK, well, that made
less sense than the last clue.
- OK, well,
let's break it down.
"Good care be praised."
- Uh... be careful!
- Good.
- "Death's hand
is near" is...
Well, that's obvious.
- And a little scary.
- So what is the spot
blazed by an Aztec tear?
- Sounds like my...
Jake, look out!
(Panting)
(Sighing)
- Good call, squirt.
Man, that is
one long fall!
- Maddie, stay away
from the edge.
- Don't worry.
Jake's watching out for me.
- Ha! Whatever!
- You know what?
I've had about all
I can take of your...
- You've had?
- This is not
the time or the place!
Our lives are in danger!
Do you understand that?
Maddie, take hold
of your brother's pack
and follow him
up the trail, OK?
- OK.
- Hold on.
You, stay here.
(Sighing)
All right...
I wanna know what happened
between the two of you.
Look, Jade...
I know the divorce
was hard.
- It's not about that.
- Then what?
(School bell ringing)
(Cell beeping)
- You're gonna
think it's stupid.
- Try me.
- You know Jake's friend Mark?
- Of course.
- A few months ago,
I got a text from him
after sixth-period gym class
asking me to go
to junior prom.
- Take some shots, bro.
Man, that was
a fun party last night.
Did you guys have fun?
Did you? Yeah?
Yo, Jake!
He wants to shoot?
Take some shots, bro!
(Laughing)
- So, um...
what time?
- What time?
- What time are you
coming to pick me up?
For the prom?
- The prom? You and me?
- But your text...
- No offense, dude,
but even if I wanted to
take a freak to the dance,
which I don't,
you'd be the last act
in the carnival I'd ask.
(All laughing)
- See?
Pretty stupid, huh?
- No.
Why didn't you
come to me?
- Since the split with Dad,
I don't know...
You just...
You always seem to
have your plate full.
- It's 'cause
I kept it that way
to help me be able
to get past...
my problems
with your father,
which, of course, had nothing
to do with you guys.
I've been so unfair
to you, Jade.
I'm sorry.
I just want you to
promise me one thing, OK?
- Sure.
- Don't you ever...
doubt what an amazing
kid you are!
OK?
- OK!
- Come on. Let's go.
- Ah! It's useless!
We've spent hours
looking and...
- And we just have
to look harder.
What is it
that we're missing?
- You know what?
I don't...
...move.
Whatever you do,
do not move!
- What?
- Don't move!
- What are you doing? What?
- Behind you.
- Oh, that doesn't look good.
- No, it's not.
- Oh...
- Oh. Easy, easy,
easy. Easy!
- Whoa!
It's just a harmless
corn snake.
Yes, baby! There we go.
You want him?
- Uh, no, that's OK.
- Very pretty.
- Uh, yeah.
- Well...
Where'd he come from?
- Out of that hole.
- Hey, do you feel
that warm breeze?
- Yeah.
- I think we found
our air shaft.
- Oh! There is no way I am
setting foot on that thing!
- Really something,
isn't it?
- Uh, yeah, something
totally terrifying!
- Jade's right.
This thing's hundreds
of years old.
We're not going to
risk walking on it.
- Yeah, well, no choice.
According to our map,
it's the only way across.
- That's the bad news.
Good news is, if we survive...
- Wait! No, no!
No good news starts with
"If we survive..."
- Well, when we survive,
we'll be really
close to the temple.
- And hopefully, the air shaft
that's gonna get us out of here.
So I figured I would
carry Maddie across first...
- What? No, no.
If we go, we go together
as a family or not at all!
- Hey! Hey!
- Jake!
- (Maddie and Dana):
Jake!
- (All): Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake, be careful!
- Jake!
- Whoa!
- Jake!
- No!
- Jake!
(Screaming)
- (Jade):
Jake, are you all right?
(Panting)
(Grunting)
- Come on! Hurry!
- Let's go!
- Get across
before it falls!
Give me your hand, Maddie.
- Careful!
Watch your step, Maddie.
Grab your sister!
- Jade, come on!
- Maddie, be careful!
- Give me your hand!
Hurry!
(Bridge cracking)
(Screaming)
- Jake?
- Jake? Jade?
- Jade!
- (Maddie): Come on!
- You can do it, sweetheart.
Jade, hang on!
- Jade, take my hand!
- I can't! I'll fall!
- Take my hand!
- Grab your brother's hand!
- Jade!
Trust me!
(Both grunting)
- Come on, baby,
you can do it! Come on!
- Jade, come on!
- Come on! You're nearly there.
- Go ahead.
I've got your back.
- About time!
- You guys can do it!
Come on, sweetheart!
Give me your hand!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- Jake!
- I'm OK!
- Give me your hand!
(Grunting)
- Jade!
- Come on, sweetheart!
- Come on!
- Come on, Jake!
- Come on, Jake!
- Are you OK?
- Yeah.
- Are you OK?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Uh, guys, that Fowler
guy stole our map.
Shouldn't we
try to catch him
while we can still
see his light?
- She's right. Let's go.
- Come on. Wait! Maddie! Maddie!
- Jade!
Look...
I should have
stood up for you...
with Mark, I mean.
I'm sorry.
- Well, you
pretty much saved me
from falling into
a bottomless pit, so...
I suppose
that we're even.
- So...
are we good?
- Yeah, we're good.
Come on.
(Exhaling)
- Ah...
- Henry!
- Huh?
- Hey! Oh...
Hey, look, I found this helmet
in the shed with this rope.
- Yeah, good.
Let me have it.
And here, tie the rope
off over there.
- You're not
going in there.
- Of course I am.
- How old are you?
- Forty-eight.
- Come on, Henry!
- What difference
does it make? Come on!
- What difference
does it make?
You wanna save your
family's life?
- Yeah.
- Well...
the difference is, I'll have
a better chance of doing that.
- We found it!
- (Jade):
It actually exists!
- (Jake):
And we found it!
- I'm proud of you guys.
(Exhaling)
- (Jade): But wait!
That's totally weird.
- They're bats.
(Screeching)
Lots and lots of...
- Bats!
Ahh!
Ah! Ahh!
Ahh!
Whoa! Whoa...
Ahh!
Oh...
OK... OK...
(Breathing heavily)
- You guys have any idea
how important this site is?
How much archaeologists
can learn
just by studying
the art and the architecture?
- Too bad Uncle Henry
isn't here to see this!
- Nobody's gonna see this
unless we get out of here
to tell them about it.
- Well, we can't get out
until we find the air shaft.
- And we can't find the shaft
without finding the map.
- Well, let's go get
the map. Come on.
(Grunting)
Nigel!
- Ah!
- It's so beautiful!
- And so mine.
- You're not taking that mask!
- No?
Who's going to stop me?
Hmm? You?
- Not her! Those!
- Ahh...
(Screaming)
Well, if that
didn't stop me,
you certainly won't!
Get out of my way!
- You have to get by us!
- Oh no! Now what?
(Rumbling)
- Take Maddie! Get out!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
I'll be right
behind you! Go!
- Come on!
- Nigel, leave the mask!
Just leave the mask!
If you don't leave it,
you're gonna die with it!
Oh!
- Come on!
(Breathing heavily)
- Wait! Where's Mom?
- I'll go back. You guys go!
- We don't have the map!
- He does!
- Where's my mom?
- Stay back!
- Mom!
- Back!
- Wait!
Maddie! Don't go back!
- Stay back!
- Maddie!
- Back! Back! Stay back!
- Mom!
- Ah!
God! I can't believe
you just did that!
- That-a-girl, squirt!
- Dana!
No, no!
Wait, wait, wait!
- Tom?
- What are you doing here?
- We found a second air shaft.
I came here to help you.
- Mom's still stuck.
She might be hurt!
- Take 'em back
up to the trail.
In about a hundred yards,
you're gonna find--
- An Aztec tear.
- Exactly--
OK, exactly! Go! Go!
We'll be right behind you.
Be careful. This way. This way!
Go! Go! Come on! Be careful.
(Breathing heavily)
(Grunting)
(Crushing)
Uh...
(Grunting)
Dana?
Dana! Dana!
Hey! Hey, Dana!
Dana!
(Crashing)
- Up here! Up here!
Give me your hand!
That's it! Come on!
That's it!
Good!
What!
Fowler!
Fowler, wait!
Where's my family?
- Not my problem!
None of you are!
Not anymore!
(Grunting)
- I've wanted to
do that for years!
- Dana!
Come on!
There you go.
Hey...
Oh!
- Tom?
- Yeah.
Here. Come on.
- Whoa...
- Take it easy.
- Dana!
Dana!
- Where are my kids?
- They're out.
We're next.
- Let's go.
- Come on.
(Breathing heavily)
- Oh no!
Ah...
(Grunting)
- Yeah...
Yeah.
- If the shaft
caved in all the way,
we're finished.
- All we can do is hope.
- And keep digging!
(Grunting)
(Breathing heavily)
(Coughing)
- (Dana):
I think I see an opening.
- Guys, listen!
- (Dana):
Come on, this way!
(Screeching)
I hear something.
- Mom!
- Maddie! Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Don't tell it's blocked.
- I wish I could.
(Digging)
- Wait a minute!
Do you hear that?
(Digging continues)
- Someone's trying
to dig us out!
- Uncle Henry?
- Dana!
- We're here!
- Dana! Kids!
- Henry!
- We're here!
- Uncle Henry!
- Uncle Henry!
- (Tom):
That's it. Easy.
- Henry!
- Ah! Ha!
- Uncle Henry!
- Jake! OK, guys, walk back.
I'm gonna push
these rocks your way!
Great! Stand back!
(Grunting)
- You got it!
There you go!
- Send Maddie through!
Don't be afraid.
Give me your hand.
That's it! Come right
through! There we go!
- Take your time!
- OK, come on. Ready?
- Yeah.
- Just dive.
Go forward! There we go.
- Careful!
- Now run! Run out!
Come on!
There we go!
Out! Watch out!
There we go!
There we go! Go!
Come on! Come on!
Who's there?
There we go!
Watch your step!
They're coming down!
Tom!
Be careful!
- This whole shaft's
coming down!
- Let's get out of here
before it's too late!
(Coughing)
- Come on!
- Henry's right behind me.
- Hey, baby...
- Hurry up! Come on!
- Yeah! Hurry up. Come on.
- Come on! Hurry!
(All coughing)
- (Henry):
All right? You OK?
- Baby... Wait a minute.
Where's Nigel?
- He came out
before all of you,
but he had
a little accident
involving my fist
and his chin.
He's right over here...
No, he...
Where'd he go?
- Well, I don't think
it makes a difference now.
- No, I don't think it does.
- Oh, Henry!
- Oh!
Let's go home, everybody!
Come on!
- Let's go!
- Let's go! Come on.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
- Clean up a little bit!
There we go!
- All right!
- Hey!
- I'm starving!
- Hold on tight!
- (Dana): What are we gonna
do for fun tomorrow?
- Oh! How'd it go?
- Well, Maddie
was first aboard.
- Naturally brilliant child.
And what about Jade?
- She's on.
I think...
I don't know,
but I think
she's relieved
at the prospect
of a fresh start.
(Chuckling)
- And young Jake?
- Well, he met with
the local basketball coach,
and it seems that
they're in desperate need
of a starting forward.
- Excellent! Excellent!
All right then.
What about you?
- Hmm...
The dreams I had
as a little girl...
of digs and discoveries
and temples and tombs...
they all died
with you, Henry.
- Oh, I see.
- You know, when
I arrived here, I...
I was feeling derailed.
And then amazingly,
you came back to life.
And I began to wonder
if it was too late
for my childhood dreams
to do the same.
- So you voted, uh...
- Yes!
- Ah! Ah!
- I voted yes!
- I am so glad!
Oh, so, so glad!
Oh!
(Car door opening)
- Oh! That must be Tom.
He said he was gonna
come up for the day.
(Chanting victoriously)
- Yes! I beat you
to the treasure
for, like,
the 10th time!
- Second time!
You only won 'cause you
skipped the secret passage,
which is cheating!
- The more things change,
the more they stay the same!
Will you please stop arguing
and say good morning?
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Would you like some coffee?
- No thanks.
I just came by to deliver some
good news and some bad news.
- What's the bad?
- Well, it turns out,
you were right.
Oxford Worldwide Financing
stopped payment on that cheque
before it cleared.
- Well, we were
counting on that.
And the rest
of the news?
- You still
own the mountain.
- Yes!
- All right! All right!
- So what are you
gonna do with it?
- Well, you know what?
It felt so good to
reconnect as a family...
- We had a meeting...
- And voted unanimously
to make it permanent.
- By moving here!
- Oh, that's...
- To mark the occasion, I have
a little gift for you, Maddie.
- For me? Really?
- Uh-huh!
That's for not only
using your head,
but also your hat!
- Thank you so much!
- Oh, that's cool!
- Thank you.
- So who wants
to go for a hike?
- On our mountain!
- All right!
- There you go!
- It is, indeed!
- OK!
- You're going to lead the way?
