In the 19th century, jules verne
Wrote some of the greatest adventure stories ever told,
Novels such as "twenty thousand leagues under the sea,"
"journey to the centre of the earth,"
And "the mysterious island."
Most consider these works of science fiction.
Vernians know otherwise.
Not good.
Whoa!
Aah!
Aah! Ugh!
Whoa! Whoa! Good boy!
Seriously?
Okay, here we go!
Evening, officers.
Anyone up for a late night swim?
Hey, buddy. Missed you at poker this week.
Hey, thanks for the call, jim. What's goin' on?
We didn't want this going out over the radio.
Kid broke into a satellite facility.
And then he drove his dirt bike
Into the mcgillicuttys' pool.
I talked them out of pressing charges.
Anderson! Your stepfather's here for ya!
No. Legal guardian.
If it weren't for me,
You'd be in juvie for the next six months.
Rather do the time.
Do you want to explain to me
Why you were breaking into a satellite facility
Out in the middle of nowhere?
Don't worry about it, mom. It's nothing, really.
The police calling in the middle of the night is nothing?
Sean?
What was he doing there? What was he looking for?
Honey, i don't know. All we can do is ask him.
Hey. Sean, we gotta talk about this.
You know, i'm still confused as to who gave him a speaking part.
Hey. Hey, without my speaking part,
We'd be visiting you in jail right now.
I'm already in jail.
What is that supposed to mean?
Sean?
Look, i didn't ask
To be taken away from my old school and friends
And be dragged all the way to dayton.
It's okay, liz.
No, it's not. Sean!
It's gotta be tough on him with his father gone.
That still doesn't excuse his behavior.
Okay.
Now that i got you, i just gotta figure out what you mean.
Not here.
Hey, it's me. You busy?
Yes.
Hey, i was just lookin' to talk to you.
You know, uh, very concerned adult
To somewhat troubled youth.
And which one am i in that equation?
Hey, buddy.
What's all this business?
Nothing.
That's a cryptogram, right?
Looks like morse code. Mm-Hmm.
Yeah, here, look.
One syllable words are dots, two syllable words are dashes.
Learned that in the navy.
Okay, then. What's it say?
Well, what's it for? It's complicated.
So is the code.
Okay. Here's the deal.
A few nights ago, a radio signal got sent out from somewhere.
It could've been anywhere.
It was these words playing on a loop.
"pip, zorn, strux."
These are all characters taken from the books of jules verne,
So clearly the message was sent by a vernian.
And my equipment wasn't powerful enough
To receive the whole message, so...
So you broke into that satellite facility
To boost your signal.
Look, someone out there sent this message
And i'm gonna be the person to solve it.
This is really important to me.
Hey, you know what?
Why don't we solve this together.
Fine.
Okay.
The first part of the message "the..."
I-S-L.
"island... Is..."
R-E.
"real. The island is real."
You're serious? You're not messin' with me?
No. That's what it says.
"the island is real."
I can't believe it.
I can't believe somebody actually found the island.
What island?
The mysterious island.
Vernians have been looking for this for years.
What's the rest of the code say?
"child of steve, born 1883."
"born 1883."
Child of steve. Child of steve.
Maybe "son of steve"?
Steven's son. Stevenson.
Robert louis stevenson. The author.
Yeah, but he was born way before 1883.
It's gotta be somebody else.
Maybe it's not a somebody.
Maybe it's a something.
What are we lookin' for?
Come on.
Aha!
"treasure island," written by robert louis stevenson in 1883.
All right, what's the next part of the riddle?
All right.
"the name that's last is going fast.
He hitched his tale to lemuel's mast."
Okay, so his last name is going fast.
What, is he a runner?
What if his last name is fast?
Fleet or quick. Swift.
Jonathan swift.
Another author.
Writing about another island.
So "lemuel" must be...
Nice. Lemuel gulliver.
Okay, we have three different books.
By three different authors.
About three different islands.
Maybe...
Maybe all three books are about the same island.
Maybe that's why nobody else
Has ever found mysterious island,
Because they haven't used the other two books.
"treasure island's" got a map.
Yeah, swift has one too.
Yeah, but these are different than verne's. I don't get it.
What are you doing?
You know what i did in the navy, sean?
No.
I won the esteemed...
Rochefort award...
Three years in a row...
For code-Breaking.
That's incredible.
I think we found your mysterious island.
What are those?
Coordinates. Longitude and latitude.
And that'll put us right about... Here.
That's 100 miles off the coast of palau,
Smack-Dab in the middle of the south pacific.
What do you think you're doin'?
I gotta go. Go where?
To mysterious island. Oh, all right, cool.
Hey, can you stop by the moon and grab me a slurpee?
Yeah, joke all you want. Yeah, i will,
And you're gonna be here to listen to it.
You're not goin' to palau, sean.
Why not?
Well, number one, you're grounded,
And on top of that you've got school.
I'm a straight-A student.
I can afford to miss a couple-A days.
Besides, this is mysterious island.
Slow down, slow down. Okay?
Do you think you're gonna travel
Halfway around the world
And meet up with some lunatic
Who's messing around on a ham radio?
It's not some lunatic.
It's alexander anderson, my grandfather.
How would you know he sent that?
Look, it makes perfect sense.
He's the original vernian in the family,
He's been looking for mysterious island
For, like, half his life,
And nobody's heard from him in two years.
I think he's in trouble and i'm gonna find him.
Sean, stop. Sean.
Stop!
I'm not letting you go on a rescue mission,
Certainly not by yourself.
And whether you like it or not, buddy, you're still a kid.
Look, i understand your situation, okay?
You wanna make my mom happy and i appreciate that.
I really do.
But you need to just focus on
Running your construction company
And paying the mortgage and asking her how her day was.
Because i'm okay.
And, like it or not, this ... This is bigger than you.
Apparently the message was sent by his grandfather.
Sean said he's been missing for a couple years.
Well, it's hard to be missing
If you were never around in the first place.
I wouldn't trust one word from alexander anderson.
Sean seems really convinced.
Oh, it's always convincing from alexander.
I see. So in sean's mind,
Alexander's this glamorous adventurer.
When in reality, he was just a man that wasn't there
When his family needed him the most.
That's exactly why we need to let sean go on this trip.
Why?
Because sean needs a man in his life.
Somebody who's gonna be there for him and connect with him.
And we were cracking that code upstairs,
That was the first time that we were on the same page
For more than five minutes.
Then bond with him on some non-Mysterious island,
Like hawaii.
Ohh. Hawaii. Our honeymoon.
Yes, but i'm serious, babe. I'm serious too.
Listen, we'll fly down to palau.
When sean realizes the island's not real
And his grandfather's not there,
I'll be there to cushion the blow.
And done will be done.
Good mornin', buddy. 0700 hours. I'm busy.
I don't think you're gonna be too busy for this.
I'm going to palau?
Close.
We're going to palau.
What?
Look, i know you've won the esteemed rochefort award,
But i've been on these adventures before
So just let me handle this.
Easy, buddy. Just remember who's financing this whole trip.
You know, queen isabella didn't tag along with columbus.
Okay, isabella.
I'll let you handle your thing. We'll see how ...
Wait, watch the lizard. Watch the lizard.
Big man's afraid of a little lizard, huh?
Big man's not afraid of anything.
I love lizards when they're boots and belts.
Excuse us.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going?
We, uh ... We americans.
Uh, you tour guide?
Sean.
No, i got this.
You ... You take us on boat.
On water.
You want to charter a boat?
The official language of palau?
English.
Thank you.
Yeah, we need someone to take us to an island located here.
Absolutely not.
Wait, why?
Because there is no island, just a bunch of storms.
It's a graveyard for ships.
We'll pay you good money! $1000!
Only a fool trades his life for money.
Excuse me, excuse me. Today is your lucky day.
Hey, i'm gabato laguatan, best captain in palau.
I understand you in need of some transportation.
Yeah, that's great. Here, we need someone to get us here.
A thousand bucks, if you can.
Whoo, baby! Easy-Peasy, easy-Peasy.
Let's go.
Here we go. Let's go!
Aw, man, this is gonna be so good.
You know, you won't be disappointed.
I've taken hundreds of people out to sea,
And i come back with them almost every single time.
Nice ride. Nice ride.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
What in the blue heck is that?
That's the finest helicopter in palau.
I'd hate to see the worst.
Oh!
That's my security system.
I'd rather take the titanic.
Uh, kailani! We have customers here.
You simply must meet my daughter.
She's a real beauty. Looks just like me.
You know what? This chopper's not gonna work out. Let's go.
Actually, hank, you know what?
Now that i get a better look at it,
This chopper's pretty freaking gorgeous.
This is the daughter that looks like you?
Look! Same nostrils.
Who are these guys?
Uh, i am a scientific explorer.
Hi.
And he's a...
Hank. Hank.
All right. So, uh, we need to get to these coordinates.
Not on this helicopter.
Look, that's the deadliest part of the ocean.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Timeout.
Sweetness, sweetness,
Sweetness, look.
They agreed to pay us 1000 american dollars, okay?
I could help with college for you then.
Make it 2000.
No way. We had a deal.
Then make it 3000.
And good luck finding someone else to take you there.
Please?
Do you take visa?
Good afternoon, folks.
And welcome to gabato luxury tours.
Please sit back, relax
And get ready for the ride of a lifetime.
And now a word from our pilot.
This is your pilot, and ...
Aah! Ohh!
Here we go.
Gotcha!
Okay, if you look out your window on your left side,
Ladies and gentlemen,
You will see what is known as the pacific ocean.
On your right side,
You will see the other side of the pacific ocean.
Are you gonna do that the whole trip?
Sir, you did pay for the luxury tour.
It's a beautiful sky, huh?
Uh-Huh.
I mean, today just seems especially... Majestic.
"majestic"?
Really?
I have to finish this in-Flight safety check.
Yeah.
We have to go around the storm.
Uh, according to these coordinates,
That's where the island is.
There is no island there.
Well, looks like we're about to find out.
Whoa.
Ohh!
Papa, we got to get out of here, now!
You know, i was thinking the same thing!
No, no, no, no, no. Wait!
"the mysterious island," chapter one!
"the passengers had been taken into the circling movement
Of a column of air."
Sean, we're about to fly into category 5 hurricane!
Now is not the time to take the book literally!
Look, we have to go into the eye of the hurricane
To get to the island!
Are you psychotic? We'll never survive!
We gotta do it! We gotta trust verne!
You know what i trust? Gravity.
Gabato, get us out of here, now!
Yeah, you're right. I agree with you.
I'm not flying this helicopter anymore!
The throttle's broken!
What?
We're going down!
Hold on!
Here we go!
No! Not like this!
Ohh!
Aah!
Hang on! Hang on!
Sean! Sean!
Sean!
Come on, buddy. Come on.
It's okay. It's okay.
Try and sit up.
Attaboy.
I told you it'd work.
You were right.
I can't believe we made it.
It's jules verne, man.
You gotta believe.
Where are we?
Where's my father?
Somebody help me!
Help me!
My body's been cut in half!
Yeah, but, papa, your foot's right there.
My severed foot.
And it's moving!
It's moving.
Oh, and ... And ... And i'm still in one piece.
Yay.
Well, you were right. There is an island.
Not much of one.
This is not what i was expecting.
All right, guys, listen up.
We're gonna have to gather up everything that washed ashore
And take stock of our supplies.
We need to find shelter. Let's go.
There you are, baby.
I thought i lost you.
Ooh.
Yeah. My girl.
Hey, i think i found a way off the beach!
What was that?
It's a scary noise in a dark cave.
Keep moving. Keep moving. Go, go.
If this is heaven, i'm checking in.
Ladies and gentlemen, i give you...
The mysterious island.
What is this place?
Whoa!
This island, it shrunk us!
Or turned us into giants?
Sean, what does verne say about this?
It's one of the first laws of island biogeography.
Small animals become large and large animals become small.
Lilliputian.
Swift alluded to it in "gulliver's travels."
I'd like to keep him as a pet.
I could knit him a little trunk warmer.
Yeah!
See ya, buddy.
Hey, check it out. You guys see that smoke?
That's gotta be my grandpa's campsite.
How do you know?
What else could it be?
Maybe it's the natives sparking up a barbecue,
Getting ready to cook us for dinner.
There's only one way to find out.
Whoa, timeout!
Look, i hope your grandfather's okay,
But my father and i aren't going.
We're headed back to the beach. To do what?
Spell s.O.S. With sea shells and, uh, m-Maybe kelp.
Kelp? There's a ... There's a boat-Eating,
Plane-Eating hurricane out there 24/7.
Nobody's gonna see your kelp.
Sean's absolutely right. We need to stick together.
Once we find his grandfather,
Then we'll use his radio to call for help.
Fine.
Just know that if we get torn to bits, i'm blaming you.
I'm blaming you too.
Real smooth.
What did i do?
Seriously, what did i say? What did i do?
Spf 100?
You squeeze it and a sweater comes out?
Yeah, that's funny, navy man.
Don't come crying to me when you're as red as a tomato.
Do i look like i burn?
Oh, man, that's one gooey rock.
No one move.
These aren't rocks.
They're eggs.
Get out, man.
Why don't we crack a couple open and make some omelets?
No, that's not a good idea.
Come on, man, i haven't had breakfast yet.
Shh.
Where there are giant eggs, there must be a giant mother.
It had to be a lizard.
Why couldn't it be snakes?
Okay.
Okay, we just need to move quickly but carefully.
Lizards have incredible hearing and an acute sense of smell.
Uh-Oh.
Let's move. Just move.
We are literally walking on eggshells.
Ohh.
Guys?
Don't take another step.
Papa, be careful.
Don't worry, honey.
I got this.
See? No problem.
Ohh!
Aw, man!
Aah!
Oh!
Run. Run, run, run, run, run, run!
Head for the jungle!
Faster! Faster!
Let's go! Go! Go!
Come on!
This way!
Let's go!
Go!
It's right behind you! Hurry!
Sean!
Aah!
Hey, godzilla!
Oh, crap.
Oh, man!
Oh, go, go, go, go!
Come on, come on!
Come on, keep moving!
Hurry! Come on!
Back! Back! Back!
Sean, get behind me.
Go! Go! Go!
Sean, backpack!
Back! Back!
Hank! Hank! Back!
Not now, sean. She's scared!
No, she's cold-Blooded and attracted to heat!
Oh.
That's emasculating.
Now what?
Now there's only one thing left.
The thunder cookie.
Unh!
I think i just made it worse.
Aah!
I hope she doesn't like polynesian food.
I hope she don't like food with poop in its pants!
Ohh!
Go, go, go, go!
Aah!
Ohh!
Everybody okay?
Yeah.
Well, don't just stand there! Applaud!
Grandpa!
That was amazing.
A pitch-Perfect frill-Neck lizard mating call.
They fall for it all the time.
This is gabato and kailani.
Their helicopter brought us here.
Pleasure. Pleasure.
And i'm sean's stepfather, hank parsons.
I helped sean crack your code.
You're the stepfather?
Well, maybe that's why it took so long, eh?
After all, how hard can it be to crack a code
By converting a string of vernian characters
Into a list of dots and dashes?
Or you coulda just sent a message not in code.
There it is.
Definitive proof that you are not an anderson.
Mm-Hmm.
Ooh.
You know, i think it's best we get outta here.
Besides, after that mating call of yours,
She may have ideas about makin' you her husband.
Oh, witty. Good for you, henry.
The name's hank. It's never henry.
Just hank.
Ah. I see you're a man of incisive decision.
Why don't you lead the way.
Oh, actually, we want to live through the night.
Yes. So maybe you should all follow me.
Come on.
Hank?
I'm following you.
All right, come on. Go ahead.
That's awesome.
Here we are, folks.
Come on up.
This is my place.
Wow.
Welcome.
We've got a working elevator,
Indoor plumbing,
And i've even got a 75-Inch hd... Tv.
How'd you build all this stuff?
I made it out of the sailboat that brought me here.
Old blue-Eyed lucy.
She gave her life in that hurricane
So that i could discover
The ever-Glorious mysterious island.
Smoothie?
Oh, thank you.
Is this the radio you used to send the signal?
Yes. I made it myself out of an alarm clock,
Some copper i mined in the hills over there,
And a teaspoon.
You know how long it took me to make it, henry?
Oh, i don't know.
Probably a little less than who cares?
Three months.
You know how long it would've taken someone like you?
Ooh...
Forever.
You guys, let's just contact palau and get off this island.
It's not that easy, darling.
You have to wait for the communication satellite
To come around to the proper position.
Well, how long's that gonna take?
Oh, about two weeks.
Wait, do you mean we're stuck here for two weeks?
"stuck here"? I think it'll be fun.
We can get to know each other better.
Sean, surviving out here's not gonna be fun.
Plus, how do you think your mom's gonna feel
If we're off the grid for more than two weeks?
By the time you get back, she's probably gonna be remarried.
You gonna let him talk to you like that?
Uh, it's okay.
Okay, so what's the plan, colonel sanders?
How 'bout you show us all some more of your rinky-Dink trinkets
That in no way are gonna get us off this island.
And is anyone else thinking about the lizard eggs hatching?
If you're afraid of a few critters,
Maybe you shouldn't-A come down here, henry.
Yeah. I mean, it is called the mysterious island.
You should've expected some mysterious things.
It's right in the title.
Sean, i know what the book says.
Buddy, you wanted to find mysterious island.
Mission accomplished.
You wanted to find your grandmother.
Well, there she is. Mission accomplished.
At daybreak we're outta here.
And for the last time, it's hank.
What's the hurry?
Tomorrow, i am gonna show you a place
That will take your breath away.
Like forever?
You're all gonna find out.
So let's get some shuteye.
It's a big day tomorrow.
Good nighty, honey.
Good night, papa. Good nighty.
Hey, how's it going?
Well, apart from you stranding us on this stupid island,
Just fine.
Good. Good.
So, hey, i was thinking, you know,
Sometime we could hang out or something if you wanted to.
I have a feeling that your idea of fun
And my idea of fun are two very different things.
I don't know. What do you like doing on the weekends?
Collect and label mollusks.
No way! Me too. I'm way into mollusks.
Really? Yeah.
Well, which one's your favorite? Mine's the mxyzptlk snail.
You're not gonna believe me, but that's my favorite too.
I just made that up.
Mxyzptlk isn't a snail.
It's one of superman's arch enemies.
Way to slay the heart.
Whatever.
Hey, gettin' the attention of a woman
Is one of the hardest things in the world to do.
All right.
So what do i do, casanova?
I been waiting a long time
To have this talk with you, buddy.
There are three things
That you need to know about understanding girls.
Don't follow your instincts.
Any other area in life, instincts will get you there.
Not with women.
So whatever you think you should do, do the opposite.
You need to be open, sensitive.
Women don't want a man just because he's big and strong
And has abs like mine.
No. They want a thinker, they want a feeler.
They want someone who can understand them.
Women want a man
Who is in touch with his most inner emotions.
And the third thing is the most important of all.
It's something that women have responded to
For thousands of years.
Well, tell me.
You've got to do this.
What is that?
That is the pec pop of love.
Now go on and throw a berry.
No. Go on and throw a berry.
There's some right behind you.
Grab one and throw it. I'm not ...
Don't be afraid, they're not gonna bite. Grab a berry.
Boom.
Now, go ahead, grab a bunch.
Rapid-Fire, right now. I'm not doing rapid-Fire.
They will not stop until you feed them.
I'm not ... F-Feed them? No.
Feed 'em. They're hungry. I'll feed 'em.
Thatta boy. Come get some.
Okay, you ready? Ready? Here we go.
Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.
Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Stop.
Okay, ready? This one's special.
Make this one count.
Mmm. No ... No way, that's awesome.
Stop encouraging him.
It's a gift.
It is a gift.
He has a gift.
Sean, it works every time.
Come on, gabby. Get a move on.
Where's he going? I don't know,
But if this goes on much longer, he's gonna blow a hip.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Oh! Oh! I'm going.
Come on, come on. We're almost there.
Get ready, gabby.
I'm about to take your breath away.
Wow.
Unbelievable.
How do you like grandma now?
Hello!
No one's been home for thousands of years, gabby.
Can anybody guess what all this is?
Do you know?
Legoland?
No.
Well, that's poseidon.
Can you move this? Yeah.
Atlantis.
I can't believe it.
We're standing in the lost city of atlantis.
The same atlantis that verne wrote about,
Down to the last detail.
But wasn't atlantis supposed to be underwater?
Oh, when verne wrote about it, it was,
But it has a 140-Year cycle
And spends half its time above the water.
Well, what about the other half?
It's called tectonic recurrence.
The ocean bed buckles due to volcanic activity on the shelf,
Pushing and pulling land to the surface.
Then the entire island sinks back to the bottom of the sea.
Nobody's ever seen it before on this big of a scale.
This is amazing.
Come with me.
I've been looking for this piece of paradise for 30 years.
I promised your old man that we'd find it together.
But he's not here to enjoy it.
So i made sure that his son would be.
That is why i encoded that message.
I wanted an anderson to see this place
Before anyone else.
Some men get to put their names
On stars, species, plants.
We get to put our name on this gorgeous island.
In two weeks, we'll contact the authorities to pick us up
And in three weeks, we'll be on the cover of time magazine.
Guys.
We got a problem.
What are you talking about?
You see this water? It's saltwater.
And the only way saltwater can get this far inland
Is if enters the subsoil from below.
So...? So this island's about to go under.
The only saltwater here is on your brain.
I've analyzed the samples and i've calculated the numbers.
This island isn't due to sink for 14 years.
Alexander, your numbers are wrong.
And how would you know that?
I've come across this
As we're building over runoff areas.
It's called soil liquefaction.
Look, you can see it in the cracks
In the confining beds all along here,
Along here...
Over there, back here.
Okay, you made your point.
Well, how long do we have?
If i had to guess, based on all this water,
Two, three days max.
Then what?
Because i ain't no flotation device, man.
Well, you're gonna be, if we don't figure this out.
No, there must be some way off this island.
We could build a boat.
The storm around this island will chew it up and spit it out.
I've got something.
What about the nautilus?
How will a exercise machine gonna help us get outta here?
No, no. The nautilus.
Captain nemo's submarine, built in 1870.
Well done, sean.
Chapter 16, verne wrote it is hidden on the island.
Yeah, and if we can make it there in time,
We can ride it under the hurricane
All the way back to palau.
Okay. One question. Where is it?
There's only one man who can tell us that.
And that is captain nemo himself.
The dakkar grotto.
The final resting place of captain nemo.
Legend has it his crew buried him in there.
I'll tell you
Nemo's journal.
It could tell us the location of the nautilus.
I've never been able to crawl in there on my own.
Too many fried eggs, i'm afraid.
I'll go.
I'm the only one who can fit in there.
No way. It's too dangerous.
It's really sweet, but i don't need your permission.
Honey? Papa loves you.
You remember the drill.
Be careful. Who knows what's down there.
Aah! Honey? Honey?
You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm inside!
Unh!
What was that?
So that's what a sinking island sounds like.
Hank!
Hank! Hank!
Hurry!
Pull her out! Pull her out!
Hi.
Man, that guy had some terrible handwriting.
Looks like sanskrit.
Close. It's hindi.
Yeah, nemo's from india.
It says here that the nautilus
Is in a basalt cave on the other side of the island,
Just under poseidon's cliffs.
I know this place.
Okay. That's where we gotta go.
Yeah, well, what's the best way to get there?
Now, that depends.
The safest way is 'round the shoreline.
But the fastest way is across the heart of the island.
What do you think, hank?
I think we got no choice. The quickest way.
Yeah, he's right. I'm in.
Yeah, but let me warn you.
The heart of this island is full of jagged mountains,
Dark jungles and terrifying creatures
Who will give you nightmares.
So, who's up for an adventure?
Are we there yet?
We get there when we get there, gabby.
What was that?
The tectonic plates are starting to pull apart
Underneath the island.
We gotta move. Let's go. Move, move.
Wait, what is that?
Volcanic ash?
It looks like...
Gold.
Pure gold.
That must be the treasure that robert lewis stevenson
Was talking about in "treasure island."
Volcanos are made of what they erupt.
So if that thing's erupting gold, then it's ...
A mountain of gold.
Must be massive gold deposits everywhere.
Let's go check it out.
Hold on. That'll take us days out of our way.
We don't have the time.
Let's make the time. I mean, volcanic gold?
That's a huge scientific breakthrough.
I understand that, but we gotta get to the nautilus.
Hank, i'm not just a little kid.
Okay? I get a say in this too.
Sean, i am responsible for you.
I'd never take a chance with your life. Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, you can't tell him what to do.
You're not the boy's father. Well, from what i hear,
You haven't been much of a grandfather.
I have given him something to live up to.
Science, adventure, wonder.
What have you ever given him?
I've given him a lot of things, alexander.
A sense of responsibility being one of them.
Something clearly you don't have.
You're not going for that gold.
We're getting out of here. End of discussion.
Sean, please.
We have to get off this island.
Bye-Bye, gold.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Fine.
Just, you know, i don't need hank
Trying to tell me what to do all the time.
My dad's always trying to get involved too,
But he usually ends up embarrassing me.
Yeah? How?
Last summer i was trying to get a job,
So he flew all over palau
Dropping thousands of copies of my résumé from his helicopter.
Man, that's so embarrassing.
Isn't that the worst when they try so hard?
No.
I mean, the worst would be if they didn't try at all.
Alexander, are you sure your compass readings are correct?
Of course i am. Why?
Because we're down here,
And we need to be all the way up there.
To every problem there is a solution, my large friend,
And i think this might be a fun one.
You think this might be a fun one, eh?
Hey, does anybody have an umbrella?
'cause apparently mary poppins here
Is gonna fly us up to the top of the cliff.
I knew you'd be good for something.
Better wait here, henry.
Wh-Where's he going?
I don't know, but that guy's completely out of his mind.
Whoa!
Oh, i most certainly am.
It turns out that mounting the bee is easy
If you don't look into its eyes.
That is so sick.
Okay. You get down. Now.
Why would i want to get down?
Well, because medicare doesn't cover
Old ladies falling off of giant bees.
Get down.
Suit yourself.
But make sure you're wearing swimming trunks
When this place becomes the pacific ocean.
Whoa!
Sean.
Can we fly together?
This is amazing!
Like riding stallions across the serengeti.
This is beautiful!
Talk about paradise!
Oh, man.
Is that ...?
Bird poop?
Oh! Oh!
That must be one giant ...
Bird!
Into the trees!
That thing looks hungry!
That's a white-Throated needletail.
It feeds on worms, aphids and, yes, bees!
There's another one!
Hold on!
Hey! Stay in your own lane!
Are you familiar with chicken?
These aren't chickens!
No, the game! Chicken!
Oh!
I like the way he thinks.
Charge!
Not yet.
Not yet!
Now!
Ohh!
Yeah!
How cool was that, little buddy?
I love you, hank! I love you so much!
I love you so ...
Okay, okay. Too much happy.
That's too much happy.
Hold on!
Aah!
Kailani!
Aah!
Ohh!
Ugh!
Aah! Aah!
Unh!
You saved me.
Yeah, i guess i did.
Or maybe not!
Go, go! Get outta here!
Sean, what are you doing?
Come on, bird!
Let's do this!
Yes!
Aah!
Ugh!
Ohh!
Aah!
Sean. Talk to me.
It's my ankle. I can't move it.
All right, this could be serious. I need to look at it.
Uh, not ... Not here.
This part-A town is even more dangerous after dark.
Okay. I'm gonna get you up, on three.
One, two, three. Up.
That's it.
Give me your arm.
Okay. Now come on.
Has the swelling gone down?
It's dislocated pretty bad. We might be here awhile.
Well, we'll go get some water.
We're gonna have to pop it back in, buddy.
Okay. Let's do it.
Alexander, i'll brace him.
You do it on three?
Got it.
Ready? Yeah.
One... Aah!
What happened to two and three?
Yeah, what happened to two and three? Two, three.
That wasn't so bad.
It wasn't very good.
Do we have anything for the pain?
There's nothing in here.
All right, buddy. There you go.
Okay.
Thatta boy.
We have this.
No, no, no.
Don't worry.
I don't sing to dudes underneath the stars,
In front of a cozy fire.
It's not my style. Good.
You can sing?
Little bit.
Brilliant.
Music is nature's painkiller. Sing him a song.
No.
Yeah. Come on.
Come on.
Okay.
Don't worry.
I got somethin' special for ya.
All right.
Oh, that's gonna make me feel better?
Slow it down. Just gotta get it in tune.
Takes a big man to play a little guitar.
And an even bigger one to listen.
Oh, that was extraordinary.
What, my multiple talents?
No, after all these years
Finding the elusive singing sasquatch.
No, but seriously, where'd you learn to play like that?
My dad used to sing it to me when i was a kid.
Oh.
Remind me to buy him a drink when we get back.
Yeah. Good luck finding him.
Why? Where is he?
Don't know.
He left when i was 8, and i haven't seen him since.
Hey, but at least i got a good song out of it, right?
Yeah.
You like him, don't you?
Who, sean? No.
Yeah, he's a little hot-Headed, you know.
But he seems to be a good kid.
It can never happen between us.
I mean, if we get off this island,
He'll go back to america,
Move on with his life and go to college.
And i'll go back to tiny palau.
You could go to college someday
If that's something you really want.
And who's gonna help you at work?
Plus we can't afford it.
Don't say that.
You wanna go to college, you can go to college, okay?
I can make that happen.
I promise.
Thanks, papa.
Hank.
Hank, get up!
Something's wrong here. Everybody up!
Where'd all this water come from?
It looks like the liquefaction rate tripled overnight.
What's that mean?
It means this island's
Sinking a lot faster than we thought.
I thought you said a couple of days.
Now, more like a couple of hours.
A couple of hours?
We need to get to that sub now,
Or we're all gonna be twenty thousand leagues under the sea.
Papa?
Papa!
He's gone. Stay calm.
He's probably gone for a pee.
Oh, no.
Oh, no!
What?
Ugh.
Last night, he promised me he'd send me to college.
Now i know what he meant.
He's going after the mountain of gold.
Look, i gotta go get him. You guys head to the sub.
If we're not there in time, leave without us.
No way. You're not going alone. I'll go with you.
Sean, you have a dislocated ankle, that's at least four miles.
No, it's fine. I can do it. It'll be okay.
No, sean. He's right.
You're in no condition to make that trip.
Well, she can't go alone.
Then i'll go with her.
I'm the one who called you to this island.
It's my fault you're in this quagmire.
If this map of ours is right
Then the trident cliffs should be
About a mile and a half in that direction.
You get to the nautilus as soon as you can,
And then meet us on the shoreline here.
We only have one map.
Let me see your phone.
Let me see this thing.
Yeah.
Now we have two.
Hank, well done.
Thank you...
For calling me hank.
Anytime.
Be careful.
Come on, darling.
I'll see you soon.
I promise.
Ready, sean?
Yeah.
Come on.
Ow! Ooh!
Oh, not ... Not that! Ow! That hurt too!
Oh!
Gold.
Our prayers have been answered.
Oh.
There's poseidon's trident, right where it's supposed to be.
We need the cliff. This is just shoreline.
The nautilus is supposed to be inside of a cave, right here.
Maybe the map is wrong.
Let me see it.
Sean, we are in the right place.
Well, then where's the cave? Where's the nautilus?
Down there.
The sea level's risen over 100 feet in the last 24 hours.
I can't believe this is happening.
We're too late. It's over.
No, it's not. It's okay. It's okay.
We just gotta think.
We just gotta think of a way to get ...
I got it.
What?
Scuba tanks.
What, are we listing things that we don't have?
Okay, uh, a jet pack, a girlfriend, calligraphy paper.
No, no, listen to me. We just ...
Calligraphy paper?
Yeah, it just popped into my head.
We still have a couple of dry bags, right? Yeah.
Okay, so we take what we salvaged from the beach,
And we build makeshift scuba tanks.
No short breaths, no wasted movements.
Make sure you equalize ear pressure as you go down.
You know, if we die down there,
Mom's gonna kill us.
Then let's do this.
Papa?
Papa!
What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be back at the nautilus.
I'll meet you back there.
Papa, stop.
Stop.
Papa, stop!
Baby, this is our one chance.
Our one chance to send you to college.
To give you a different life. A better life.
Papa.
We'll have all the wealth we'll ever need.
Just as long as we're together.
Let's go home.
All right. All right.
Okay.
Double-Time, gabby.
Okay, it's only 100 feet down,
And we've got two hits of air with this.
Right.
Are you ready?
Am i ready? Are you ready?
Oh, i'm totally ready.
Well, i'm totally ready.
Well, i'm probably more ready than you.
No, there's no way. I'm like twice as ready as you are.
We're procrastinating out of fear, aren't we?
Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Wait, which way are you going?
Frankly, i'm not sure.
You're not sure?
Look, we're running out of time.
Well, which way's north?
Uh...
This way.
Uh... No.
Uh... No, it's not. I-It's this way.
We're getting too much magnetic friction.
What does that mean?
It means we're lost.
We made it.
The nautilus!
Come on.
Sean, give me the flashlight.
Okay. Let's power this thing up and get to the others.
How do we find north without a compass?
Spiders.
Oh, oh.
I already rode a giant bee.
I ain't gettin' on no spider.
Spiders build their webs facing south.
Uh, guys?
I think i found our spider.
Ohhhhhhh!
And ... And we go the other way.
The ballast control panel's got to be around here somewhere.
Where's the power switch?
I think this is it.
How do you know?
Well, it's right there in chapter 17.
Someone's reading their verne.
Let's fire this baby up.
Come on, come on. Wake up!
The engine's dead.
We got to get under the hood.
These batteries are 140 years old.
It's gonna need a jump-Start.
Yeah, but that's gonna take
Thousands of kilowatts of electricity.
You thinkin' what i'm thinkin'?
That's completely insane.
Exactly.
Cable attached to the harpoon?
Yeah. Great.
One good charge from that thing out there,
We're gonna be on our way.
Okay.
But i need you to come back.
Of course i'm gonna come back.
Somebody's got to help you pilot this thing.
No, i mean ...
Look, if anybody ever asks,
I'm gonna deny that i ever said this.
But i need you to come back.
I've had a lot of people take off on me in my life,
And i don't want you to be one of them.
Before we left, i told your mom
That i was gonna take care of her son.
Okay, you're not just her son.
You're my family too now.
I promise you i'll come back for you.
Okay?
Okay.
Now, who's up for an adventure?
Where are they?
They're not here.
Aah!
Bumpy!
They'd better get here quick!
We're running out of real estate!
Hey!
Hey, over here!
Where are you?
Oh, boy!
Come on, hank. Come on!
Where are you?
Come on, show me that 1000-Watt smile.
Do it now!
Oh!
Yes!
I love you, papa.
I love you, baby!
Down we go!
Aah!
We made it.
Not yet, we haven't!
Ohh!
Up ahead! We're gonna be blocked!
Gabato, i need you to captain us out of here.
Me?
You brought us to the island, you can take us back.
You got this. Okay.
Sean, on my signal, hit that button.
Yeah, you right. It's like flying in my helicopter.
Like ... Okay.
Hank!
Fire it!
Hey, hey, man, we did it!
We did it!
Yes!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
And we're on cruise control.
Nice work, man.
You too.
Hey, i can't believe
We actually made it off the island.
Yeah.
Pop your pecs.
I'm not gonna pop my pecs.
Now's the perfect time to pop your pecs.
She's gonna love it, believe me.
I'm not gonna ... Do it, do it.
No, i'm not ... I'm not gonna pop my pecs.
She would love it, believe me.
Ahem.
You two done yet?
Pop your pecs.
Thank you.
For everything.
That works too.
I'm so happy right now.
I don't know how this moment could get any better.
Well, the one way it could get better
Is if you steer us away from this coral reef!
Oh! Ooh, ooh, okay. Good idea, good idea.
Oh.
Good afternoon, folks.
And welcome to gabato luxury tours.
If you look out the window on your left side,
You will see what is known as the pacific ocean.
Here we go again.
Pass it! Car!
Game on!
For the third time today, papa, i'm fine.
Yeah, but i heard
There was a 2.3 magnitude earthquake in ojai.
Is that anywhere near ohio?
It's 2000 miles away.
Look, you don't need to worry about any earthquakes here.
What about volcanoes? No.
Giant birds?
Goodbye, papa. I love you.
I love you, sweetness.
Hey, can you wish sean a happy birthday for me?
And maybe i'll call you later, say, in five minutes?
Bye, papa.
I love you, baby. Bye.
Okay, are we ready for the journey?
Hello!
Hey, guys.
I'm sorry i'm late.
Hey, darling. Hey.
You look wonderful. Good to see you.
Hi. Come here for a second.
Okay.
Happy birthday.
You raised a great man.
No. We are raising a great man.
Open this one first.
Postmarked cameroon?
Oh, it's from grandpa.
He wants to give me his present next time he sees me.
Well, don't just sit there. Applaud!
Grandpa!
Hi.
I can't believe you're here.
I wouldn't miss your birthday for the world.
I wanted to give you this.
A book?
Oh, it's not just a book.
It's a trip i want us to go on.
All of us, as a family.
"from the earth to the moon."
What do you say?
Well, i think there's only one thing to say.
So who's up for an adventure?
No, no, no!
Oh, honey, what could possibly go wrong?
It's only the moon.
Yeah!
Go ahead, boys!
