 The plane finally makes it to Orinoco. Jo is sitting across from John B and Sarah. 

Buzz is still sitting in the cockpit with the pilot and Ward is sleeping on the other side of the plane. 

"Is he asleep?" John B asks Sarah.

 She stands up and walks over to her father. 

She snaps her fingers in front of his face and he doesn't move.

 "Yeah." she whispers.

 She sits back down so they can talk. 

John B leans forward with the map so the girls can see.

 "So Tres Rocas, that is where Neville said we will find the guy. Solana is an archaeological site. I think that is where they're taking my dad." John B says as he looks at the map. 

"Neville said that the site should be around here." John B points to the spot on the map. 

Jo and Sarah share a look with each other. 

"This? This is the map we're following?" Sarah asks skeptically as she takes the map from him to look at it.

 "He's the only guy who has been there Sarah." John B states.

 "I'm not gonna lie, this map is gonna be hard for us to follow. We don't know the area. We're gonna be in trouble." Jo states. 

"I know that. But we need to save my dad and find El Dorado. We can do this guys." John B says.

 Jo smiles softly at him. 

"You're right. We have my dad too so he will definitely be help." Jo comments.

 Ward snores and catches their attention. 

"Are you sure he doesn't know anything?" John B asks Sarah.

 She shakes her head. 

"Not from me. I sure as hell didn't tell him anything." she tells him.

 Buzz walks into the cabin from the cockpit. 

"We're getting ready to land kids. Buckle up and get ready." Buzz tells them. 

"Ok, Dad thanks." Jo says to him.

 Buzz turns around and locks eyes with Ward. 

He just shakes his head and walks back into the cockpit with the pilot.

Once the plane lands, everyone gets up to leave. 

Jo walks off the plane behind John B. 

"I can't help but think about the others. Do you think they are able to make it?" Jo asks. 

"You know how JJ is. He would have found a way to get everyone here." John B reassures Jo.

 "Sarah!"

 The group turns around to see Ward walking out of the plane. 

"Dad, what are you doing?" Sarah storms back over to him. 

"I'm coming with you." Ward states.

 Buzz rushes over to Ward. 

"You can barely walk. You need to get back to where you're staying and let these kids find John."

 "You got us here like you said you would. Thank you for that. But you need to go back to Guadeloupe." Sarah argues.

 "You're all in over your head. You need my help!" Ward argues.
