"That's not gold." Pope says as he sees the package.
"Holy shit." John B says looking at the package in his sisters hands.
"This is from my dad." Jordyn says.
JJ turns around, "Code red. Code red. Square groupers! Square groupers! It's the guys who robbed your house."
"Light! Light." Kie and Pope say.
Pope smacks JJ, "Turn your light off, man!"
"JC? Your light!" Kie scolds.
Kie asks, "Do you think it's them?"
"Homie's got a gun." JJ says wearing around the corner.
"Screw this." Kie announces standing up and running.
JJ rushes, "Hurry up!"
"Go!" Jordyn tells them.
"Guys! Guys!" Pope calls out.
John B stops, "Shit."
"Guys, I'm stuck." Pope tells the group.
JJ yells, "Pope, come on! All right, guys..." As he also points the gun at Pope.
"I got you. No. Pope, don't move, okay?" Jordyn tells the boy.
Pope yells as he's pulled, "You're gonna rip me. Wait. You're gonna rip me!"
"You're fine. Come on!" Kie reminds him.
Jordyn rushes the boy once down, "Pope, come on!"
"Nice! Come on, dude. It's a little Tootsie Roll." JJ says as they run back and Pope's covering himself.
"Come on!"
"Get in!"
"Stupid!"
"Come on. Come on." Jordyn says as they drive off.

"That bread had mold on it three days ago." Pope tells JJ who's trying to make a sandwich.
JJ ignores him, "I'll just pull off the bad parts. Plus, mold is good for you. It's just a natural organism."
"JJ!" Kie calls.
"Yup, yup, yup! Hot damn! Let's do it." The boy says as he reaches the siblings who are opening the package.
"Holy shit." Jordyn says as she sees the map.
Pope points out, "Oh. X marks the spot."
"Longitude, latitude. Wait, there's somethin' else in there." John B reaches into the package.
JJ asks, "What's that?"
"It's a tape recorder, dumbass." Kie answers.
"Dear Bird, Dove." The recording starts.
"Who's Bird and Dove?" JJ asks.
Jordyn replies, "That's what our dad called us."
"I hate to say, "I told you so," but I told you so. And you doubted your old man. I suspect at this moment, you're filled with guilt and self-loathing over our last fight, but don't kill yourself just yet, kids. I didn't expect to find the Merchant either. You were probably right to call me out. Wasn't exactly Father of the Decade. What can I say, kids? I could smell the barn. And hopefully, we're listenin' to this in our brand new sugar-shack down in Costa Rica, livin' off passive investments and pulling on permits. If not, and you find this for less than optimal reasons, well, that's what the map is for. There she is, the wreck of the Merchant. If somethin' happens to me, finish what I started. Go for the gold, kids. I love you, Dove, Bird, even if I didn't always act like it. I'll see you on the other side."
