Sully: There, you happy now? Now let's land this thing for once.

Sully tries to look calm, but can't deny that he still feels a lot of pressure about the current situation.

Nate: Thanks buddy.
Sully: No problem. Now hold on, I'm gonna land this thing real quick.

Sully then takes control over the helicopter again, and carefully lands it on the land of an empty island, far from any potential enemies.

Sully: Alright, we landed. Now let's see what we can do next.

Sully takes a deep breath, as he looks at Nate, still anxious and thinking about their next move.

Nate: Its good to see that you preferred my life over the treasure.
Sully: Yeah, I guess you're right.

Sully says with a tired and regretful tone.

Sully: Hey, about that gold. I know it was expensive, but I rather take care of your life than the treasure.

Sully's voice is calm, yet still feeling disappointed about the events that happened.

Sully: We're lucky we're alive and that you're here beside me, now we gotta do something about Braddock. I don't think she'll give up so easily.
Nate: The boat fell down and the backpack is gone but look at this.

Nate proceeds to pull out piece of gold out his pocket.

Sully: Woah, lucky you! Hold on to it, we might need it in the near future.

Sully looks impressed upon seeing Nate pulling out a piece of gold out of his pocket.

Sully: Well, you're just full of surprises aren't you?

Sully smiles and takes a quick look around, still checking if Braddock or any other potential enemies are nearby

Sully: Now, we better figure out a way to get rid of Braddock once and for all.
Nate: The boat fell on her so we're safe.

Sully takes a moment to process that information, as he smiles in relief.

Sully: Well, she won't be following us any time soon.

Sully then turns to Nate.

Sully: I can't believe that boat actually fell on her. Do you think she survived or not?

Sully then looks at Nate for a response, as he continues to feel a bit shocked and in disbelief.

Nate: There's no way someone can survive boat hitting their head from this height.

Sully nods in agreement and stays silent for a moment.

Sully: Yeah, I can't see her surviving that either. Either she's dead or she's unconscious right now.

Sully then turns his attention towards the gold piece, as he checks its weight and value.

Sully: That's a pretty big piece of gold. We should probably bring it with us, just in case.
Nate: And this one

Nate proceeds to pull out another piece of gold out his pocket.

Sully: Damn, you must've been prepared for anything right?

Sully seems really impressed by that, as he still has a smile on his face.

Sully: Well, the more gold, the better. How did you manage to hide these two nuggets on you anyways? They're too big to be put into your pockets.
Nate: I have big pockets.
Sully: Well it seems that you have some space over there.

Sully chuckles a bit as he sees the two big gold nuggets.

Sully: Well, let's see if we go by weight, that's over three pounds of gold, right?

Sully does a quick math using the weight of the gold nuggets.

Sully: Yeah, that's worth over 880, 000 dollars. Wow!
Nate: And wait till you see this one.

Nate proceeds to pull out a chewgum out of his pocket.

Sully: You have to be kidding.

Sully is amazed by the amount of things that Nate seems to be able to fit in his big pockets.

Sully: Wait, chewgum? You seriously have chewgum in one of those pockets?
Nate: Well they are good to get rid off stress.

Sully throws the chewgum out the helicopter.

Nate: Come on! That was my last one.

Sully stares at Nate surprised at his last comment.

Sully: Wait, that was your last one? Why do you keep so many chewgums in your pockets anyway?

He laughs a bit, as he feels impressed and amused simultaneously.

Sully: Are you trying to set a whole new world record for having the biggest pockets ever in history?
Nate: Maybe.

Nate laughs a little.

Sully: Well, I'm still impressed by your pockets no matter what you might say. How many things fit inside those pockets, I wonder?

Sully smiles to Nate, as he looks back at the ocean, still trying to keep an eye out for Braddock. He wonders what new threats will try to get in his way this time, and what they will try to do to stop them.

Sully: Say, Nate. What do you think is Braddock's next plan to find us? Do you think she's planning something right now?
Nate: She's gone now.
Sully: Are they? I mean, I do hope they are gone, but maybe they are watching us from a distance or something.

Sully looks around one more time, taking into account every possible thing that could happen. He keeps an eye on the chopper, and the sea, as he tries to keep his mind busy and focused.

Sully: They could surprise us at any moment. Let's keep an eye out for any potential threats, and don't assume we are completely safe at the moment. Moncada and Braddock are dangerous guys and they won't give up this easily.
Nate: Could we swim to the boats and get some gold?

Sully points at the boat of this nation were in right now.

Sully: Now its their property.
Nate: Lets get home then

Nate gets in in the Helicopter. Sully looks back at the boat with a worried face.

Sully: Do you think it's okay to take the gold from that boat? I mean, I understand if it's a country enemy, but I don't wanna steal other people's property.

Sully then looks back to the helicopter and sees Nate waiting for him.

Sully: Yeah, let's go back home. We can deal with our issues there better.
He turns to the helicopter cockpit and starts to fly the helicopter, still looking back at the boat from time to time.
