The pogues couldn't hear what the people were saying but they saw all of the people near the hole that was take something out

"they got the cross? what do we do? what do we do?" jj asked starting to panick

"what can we do?" john b said shushing him

the pogues saw rafe and ranfield open something but they didn't know what was it. limbrey hardly stood up and the pogues heard her saying "we just go the wrong place. we'll go back to the island room. we're going back! it's not over!"

so the pogues waited for limbrey and her men to go away and they ran to see what they found

pope stood in front of open casket "cecilia tanny, denmark's wife" pope stood up and looked at the tree "he wasn't talking about the cross. he buried her at the foot of the angel"

"the true treasure" kie said smiling

"his wife" john b whispered looking at the corpse

"and they dishonored her like this" jo said disgusted by what limbrey and rafe did as the six pogues kneeled around the casket

"denmark was hung for burying his wife, and now they defiled her grave" pope said crying, then he saw something in the ashes and took it, it was a plate with cecilia's name

sarah saw something else in the ashes and smiled "this must have been from denmark. her wedding ring"

the two put back the things they took and pope said "we can't leave her like this"

"we won't" jo stated, jj and john b closed the casket and locked it, pope took some flowers and put them over the casket then the pogues buried it again.

"i just don't get it. i mean, you guys saw the map" pope said as jj finished burying the casket. john b was laying on the ground like kie while jo and sarah was leaning on the tree "he hides his gold so no one finds it for 170 years. and then he sends a message to his son robert to come here to his mother's grave, but the message never gets to him"

as pope talked jo saw jj leaning against the van and look at the tree "denmark wanted him to find the cross. i know we're in the right spot. it just feels like-"

"like we missed something?" jj asked and everyone looked at him as he climbed over the van, jo immediately following him

"that look like-" jj said pointing to a hole in the tree

"the painting in the island room" jo said shocked then the two blondes looked at their friends

"it's worth a shot, right?" jj said

"let's do it" john b said

"go for it" jj told jo

"no chance" jo stated
