Die! Die!
You've come to the River Caine.
Treasure awaits inside the castle, if thou art‐‐ Why are you reading this?
We've been here, like, ten times already.
We've got the boots of Hermes. Jump the lava, get the treasure.
No, Joe, you only get to use the boots once.
There's a trick to this. It's never that simple.
The only trick is not being lame.
Give me the controller. Give me the controller! I'm not being lame, you dweeb.
Get off of me, butt head! Bite me, barf bag!
Joe, Frank, enough. Knock it off.
Frank, can you go back out my car, please, before Dad gets home?
Really? Yes, really.
You love it.
Touch it, and I'll end you.
Okay.
Go.
Are you serious?
Go, Joe. Mom, that's like, two hours!
Fine, he's gonna win. Go, Joe.
I'm not gonna hurt him. I'm not gonna hurt him.
Yeah, you're gonna hurt him. I know you're gonna hurt him. Joe!
‐ I'm gonna hurt you. Aah! ‐ Mom‐‐
Joe, go.
Stop! Ow!
- No! - No, no!
Oh. Game over.
Is that bad?
Why do you do this?
Joe!
Get off me. No!
- Joe! - No, no!
There's an authentic fisherman, right there.
Cut the engine. We're caught on something.
Got it. Got it!
Ah. What happened?
We got something here!
You've gotta cut her loose. She's liable to take us down.
You're the only one light enough.
Hop to it.
Watch yourself. That might snap back.
Hold steady, there.
You got her.
Steady, steady.
Easy, now.
Hey!
There's something inside.
Just cut the line and come down.
What is it?
It's a box!
Get it.
I can't reach it.
It's too far. Yeah, yeah!
Jason, keep her steady!
Holy smokes.
What is it, Cap?
I don't know.
Back to work, all of you.
All right, fellas, let's‐let's go below deck.
This is Captain Ben Carter of the Astghik.
Do you read?
I read you clear.
I found it.
Proceed to the assigned coordinates,
and standby for further instructions.
Copy.
We got company.
- Drop anchor! - Dropping anchor!
There's been talk.
But I never thought anyone would actually find it.
Look, the only reason why I called you first
is 'cause you said you'd pay more than the others.
I lied.
Yes! That's it. That's the rotation.
You are gonna blow them away with your million‐dollar fastball.
Uh‐huh. Right until they hit it with their two‐million‐dollar swing.
No, you know what I told you. You gotta get into their head. Okay?
Everybody's got a tell, and once you spot it,
you've got them.
Now show me your curve ball.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
You're a winner.
You're a winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Frank, stop.
Frank!
Frank! Hi!
No, no, no, no, no, no! Get dressed. Yes.
Get up!
Um, okay.
Okay, um, stay there, and I will‐I'm coming right now.
Um, yeah, Marnie, I gotta go. The kids are ready.
All right, I'll, I'll see you later. Bye.
Who was that? It's just, uh, Marnie. Just...
I forgot that I have to meet her tonight.
Mom, everybody's got a tell.
What? It's nothing. I'm just meeting her.
You're gonna make it to the game though, right?
Of course. Oh, my gosh.
Uh, holy smokes, I almost forgot.
- Mom, stop. - It's our thing, and if I don't,
then you'll lose. So here.
Yeah.
Okay, so I'm gonna meet her, and then I'll come to the game.
Go get your dad, okay? Joe!
- Dad! - Coming!
And don't forget your lunch, buddy.
Tuna? Really? I'm gonna smell like I'm 50.
Well, if you wanna live that long, you'll eat what I make you.
- Fenton! - Yeah, right here.
Dad, just so you know, I'm strongly opposed to going to school in the summertime.
Well, I guess you should have been strongly opposed to flunking math then, huh?
Have a great day. Bye.
What are you wearing?
Clothing. I need your car. Bye.
Again? What are you up to?
Me? Up to something?
Okay, clothes. The car. You're onto something.
They should give you the gold shield.
Yeah, they should.
Okay, can you just please be careful,
'cause I really could not handle those two without you.
I love you.
Love you.
Bye.
Uh, I'll see you at the game.
All right. Out.
- Out. - Come on, Frank. We're in here.
See you tonight, Dad.
- Dude, pass it. Come on! - Back here, back here!
- Here, I'm open! - Come on. Let's go.
Okay, I'm good. I'm good.
- Hey, here! Here, look! - Oh, come on.
Hey, farty. Pass the ball.
This ball? Yeah.
Don't call me farty.
Get him!
I got him on your three. He's heading to the trailer.
Keep an eye on him. We're gonna take him down today.
Fenton, we tossed the car. There's no money.
The guy just bought a house with a pool. All cash.
How do you do that on a city inspector's salary?
Maybe he's good with the ponies.
Taking a closer look.
Careful, man. These guys aren't big fans.
You got a bogey coming.
He's coming around.
Ten feet.
Five feet.
Your line's out. I gotta get something from my truck.
See anything?
I know he's got it on him.
So you didn't see a hand off?
Maybe I did.
Fenton!
Fenton, don't do this, man.
Yeah, I know. But when he comes down,
just let him know they need to see him in the shop.
Like, when he's done? Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Hey, Aucoin!
Hey, how ya doing? Can I talk to you?
What do you want?
I'm the police.
You're a funny guy.
Get out of here. Yeah, I'd like to arrest you for bribery.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Go ahead. Search me.
Search my car.
And when you're finished, maybe I'll call City Hall
and get your badge taken away. Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I don't need to search ya.
I think you went in there with a blue thermos,
and you came out with a green one, and now, oh, no, no, no, no.
That's not coffee.
When was the last time I saw them play live?
I saw them play live, I think it was in '76, '77.
- Something like that. - Ha ha! That's amazing!
And I could have swore that I remember seeing you there.
Right up against the stage...
More to the right. More to the right.
Let's go, boys! There's a big game today.
Big game today, guys. Come on!
Hey, you. Hi.
You ready? Think so.
Hey, Sandra. Oh. Hey.
I'll see you after the game. We can celebrate.
You're gonna do great.
Emma, stop. I'm totally gonna hurl.
All right.
Hey, what's wrong?
It's nothing. It's all good. I'll see you after.
It's the bottom of the third.
Your Dixon City Tigers in the lead, one to nothing.
Look alive! Look alive in there!
- Strike! - Swing and a miss.
Strike's out.
Next up at bat for the Sluggers...
Okay, as much as I'm not into the whole, romance, you know,
human affection thing... Uh‐huh.
I guess it's pretty cute he keeps looking at you.
