And I'll get it.
[tense music subsides]
[insects chirping]
So you're JJ's real dad?
[Groff sighs]
I don't deserve the title,
but yes, I am JJ's biological father.
I could have done better by him, I know that.
I look forward to telling you all about it.
-Right. -[Groff] But I'm afraid time is short.
We are all in danger here.
[suspenseful music playing]
Let me guess.
You opened up that packing tube over there
and you found a scroll inside, but you can't read it.
That scroll is encrypted.
How do you know that?
Because if you took that from the Corsairs,
I suspect that you are in possession of the Mogador scroll,
created by Barbary pirates in 1703.
The Lupine Corsairs are dangerous mercenaries.
Now you've stolen from them.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
Okay, so what… what the hell is this Mogador?
It's… a map.
To where?
[Groff] Well, if I knew the answer to that, I'd be a very rich man,
but I can tell you who made it.
Murad the Younger.
-Murad? -Oh, you know him?
Barbary pirate, slaver.
In 1703, a Berber shepherd gave Murad a gold coin as tribute.
He asked the shepherd where he'd gotten the coin,
and after some persuasion,
the Berber told him about a hidden vault
in the desert filled with gold.
And one other very special item.
The Blue Crown.
[suspenseful music builds]
So you know what it is?
Uh, it's a…
-[Sarah clears throat] -My dad was a historian.
Um, it was just, like, a bedtime story.
-[Groff] Mmm. -[John B] Yeah.
[Kiara] What is it, though? The crown thing.
[Groff] A mythical artifact,
and if you trust the legends,
a dangerous weapon capable of granting wishes
and rendering enemies defenseless.
And you believe that?
No, of course not, but it's invaluable.
I'm looking for it just like you, and if I could help find it,
I'd… just want to get my cut.
Nothing more.
[JJ] If they found it 300 years ago,
there's no way that magic cap is still there.
[Groff] Maybe, maybe not.
See, Murad was encamped in Essaouira, in what's now Morocco.
But before he had a chance to follow the map,
it was stolen by an enterprising young woman named Elizabeth Howell,
who later became Blackbeard's future wife.
Elizabeth Teach.
Very good.
Blackbeard helped her elude her captors,
and the two of them escaped to the Carolinas with the map.
The rest of their lives they wondered,
was there really a vault in the desert that held the crown?
-On the day he died… -He left Elizabeth the map.
And now you have it.
But you can't read it, right?
You need a lens, a special lens,
a piece of refracted crystal encased with a… chain.
Elizabeth Teach had that lens when she was killed at Blackstone.
[suspenseful music playing]
So let me guess, you, uh, you have that lens.
Not in my possession, no.
But I know where it is.
Where?

-I don't know. Um… -[Cleo] Shit! Shit!
It's not opening. What do we do?
-The door's broken and we can't get out. -Just, um…
-I'm trying. -[Sarah] What?
-[man 1] Hey, guys. -Open up!
-I'm gonna smoke 'em out. -[man 2 laughs]
-Whoa. -Go, go, go!
Do it. Light 'em up.
-Oh shit. -[Kelce] Smoke 'em out.
They're not gonna like that.
[man 1] Burn, baby!
-[Ruthie] Come out! -[Kelce] That's what I'm talking about.
-[Cleo] Shit. -[John B] Out of the way. Watch out.
[man 1] Burn, baby, burn.
It must be getting hot in there.
-[John B groans] -[Cleo] Come on!
-[Ruthie] Keep going! -Hey. You all right?
What are you doing here?
I checked your location. I heard screaming. Everything okay?
[John B] Yeah. Not really.
-[Sarah] Good idea. -[Cleo] Pope, you shouldn't be here.
What'd you do?
First smart thing I've done in a long time.
No goodbyes, right?
-[ankle monitor beeping] -Never ever.
-Okay, come on, lovebirds. Let's go. -[John B] We gotta go.
[all panting]
[tense music builds, fades]
[Groff] You can pull in there.
-[JJ] Wait, right here? -[Groff] Yeah.
[car engine turns off]
I'm just gonna pick something up. Hang tight.
Pick something up? What are we doing here?
-[bells tolling] -[suspenseful music playing]
Uh… Can I borrow your phone?
Mine's as dead as Julius Caesar. [chuckles]
[JJ] Yeah.
Can we, like, please hurry up?
-Seeing as I'm sort of a fugitive. -Yeah, just lay low.
Sit tight. I'll be right back.
We make a good team.
[tense music builds]
[seagulls squawking]
[knocking on door]
-Hollis? -[door closes]
-Yeah. -Hey, look at you.
[Hollis] Look at you. It looks like you've had a day.
Yeah. [chuckles]
Is that it? Is that the, uh, money from Rafe?
[Hollis clears throat]
-[Groff] Wait, you didn't get it? -No, I got it.
Rafe paid, just like you said he would. It's… it's all there.
What?
Did something happen?
-You lied to me. -[Groff] Did I?
When?
It's hard to admit to something if I don't know what it is.
Mm-hmm. They read the will today, Chandler.
Goat Island is being deeded to the state as a nature preserve.
No, it's not.
There's a second will.
Stop it. Stop lying.
I'm… I'm the sole heir of Goat Island.
[Hollis] You are not the heir, Chandler. I saw the will.
Which means that this money is stolen,
and you made me an accomplice.
Such anger.
There's a second will. Wes's final amendments.
I inherit everything.
Everything you say is a lie.
Okay.
I'm gonna tell Shoupe where you were the night that Wes died,
'cause you weren't with me. I know that.
-You're not-- -No, no.
Oh. Okay.
You are not who you say you are, Chandler. You're a fraud.
[scoffs]
"Fraud"?
Really?
If anyone's a fraud here,
it's not me.
Can you please put that down?
Hollis, a gun?
It's so vulgar.
[tense music builds, subsides]
Okay.
Oh. Well, if you want to tell the sheriff, there he is.

Finally, all right. Come on, let's go. What took you so long?
Sorry, son. I've got one more teeny tiny request to make.
-What? -[Groff] Leave the van. Come with me.
What do you mean? What? Leave the van?
I've got a boat here. Come on, let's go.
Get you off the streets.
No, no. I gotta get back right now. With that little lens thing. All right?
I'll take you back. Here's your lens. Come on.
This is the safest way. Take a boat.
Get you off the streets right now. Let's go. We're losing time.
Drop me off with the lens. All right?
With the lens. It's a deal.
Slip 42.
-[JJ] Slip 42. -Go.
-Get it started. I'll keep a lookout. -[JJ] Forty-two. Okay.
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds]
[JJ] Coming?
[Groff] Coast is clear. Go ahead.
That's the one.
[woman] All units, state order violation. Suspect is an African American male, 19.
Yeah, I know him, the Heyward kid. The one that punched me.
[woman] Looks to us like he's moving from downtown Kildare
to those restaurants along the creek.
Got him.
[car engine starts]
-[car revving] -[siren wailing]
-[ankle monitor beeping] -[panting] Okay.
-Is that thing still working? -You hear it beeping, don't you?
-[John B] Hey, hold on. This way. -[Pope] Go.
[Sarah] Oh shit.
Wait. No, this way. This way. Come on.
-Wait, John B, the garage. Come this way. -[John B] What?
[Cleo] This way!
[siren wailing]
-[ankle monitor beeping] -[door closes]
Stop beeping. Stop beeping.
[tires screeching]
[siren stops wailing]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[car door closes] -[ankle monitor beeping]
[Cleo] Stay still. Maybe I can slide this off.
-Stop. That's not going to work. -Shh!
-[Pope] Stop, ouch! Try to tear it off. -Please be quiet.
-Guess we gotta cut off your foot. -What?
All right, Pope, are you in there?
-[suspenseful music intensifies] -[ankle monitor beeping]
All right. I'm coming in.
Get down on your knees. Hands on your head.

[music fades]
[phone ringing in the background]
[tense music playing]
[Rafe] Can I talk to someone?
-Is Shoupe here? -[woman] Sir.
You… Come over here.
I need to make a report on Hollis Robinson and Chandler Groff, right?
-They stole $400,000 from me, okay? -Okay…
[Rafe] This is high-level fraud-type shit, okay?
An arrest needs to be made, all right? Like now, all right?
-Groff told me… -What the hell is he yapping about?
Rafe says Chandler Groff swindled him out of nearly half a million dollars
with Hollis Robinson's help. [chuckles]
Apparently, they told him that he was gonna get to develop Goat Island,
and Rafe believed them until they read Wes Genrette's will today.
Who's he saying stole the money?
Close that door.
[Carl] Hollis Robinson and Chandler Groff.
Wes Genrette's son-in-law.
-Groff? -[Carl] Yeah.
[tense music builds]
So we have to assume it was the same guy.
I was out boating with a… a friend. [chuckles]
-[scoffs] Groff. Shit. -Sheriff?
Hollis Robinson was Groff's alibi for the night of Wes Genrette's murder.
Now, take Rafe's statements, send Thorpe down to Blackstone.
Hell, send a few units. Groff's our guy. And get Hollis Robinson in here now.
Yes, sir.
[door opens]
[Carl] Rafe, come on back.
[tense music fades]
[John B] Hey, Kie!
Kiara!
Kie!
Wasn't she supposed to be here?
-Kiara! -And JJ?
-We'll check the surf shack. -We'll check the house.
-[Cleo] Maybe she went with JJ. -Kie!
-Kiara! Where are you? -Hey! Kie!
-[Sarah] JJ! -Kiara!
Yo, you up there, Kie?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Kiara] Guys, is that you?
[John B] You hear that?
-[Kiara] Guys, I'm in here! -[both] Kie.
[Kiara screams] Guys!
-Guys, I'm in here! -[banging]
-[John B] Holy shit, that's Kie. -[Sarah] In the cooler?
-[John B] Kie, we're getting you out. -[Kiara] Help me!
-Oh my God. [yelping] -[John B] Hey. Come on.
-God. -[Sarah] How'd you get there?
Are you okay? What's going on? What happened?
[panting] Groff happened.
He came here, and he took the scroll.
And… Oh my God. [panting]
Wait, I dropped my phone. I dropped my phone.
-I think he's still with JJ. -[Sarah] What?
[Kiara] Where's my phone?
-[panting] Where is it? Where is it? -[Sarah] Pope?
Cleo!
[John B and Sarah] We found her!
-[Sarah] Where's your phone? -[Kiara] I dunno. Over here somewhere.
You okay?
-[Cleo] Where you been? -[Pope] Hey, Kie.
-[Kiara] My God! -[Sarah] Are you thinking…?
[pants, sniffles]
[JJ over phone] Hey, this is JJ. You know what to do at the beep.
He's not answering. JJ, can you call me back? Please?
-[panting] -Did you check Find My Friends?
Yes. I made him share his location last time he freaking disappeared.
He's on the water.
-What? -What?
He's leaving the island.
[suspenseful music builds]
[Cleo] Shit, man.
-[suspenseful music subsides] -[boat engine revving]
[boat engine turns off]
We're here. This is it.
What? I thought you said we're going back. What the hell are we doing out here?
-Come around back. I wanna talk to you. -Okay, but first, can I see my phone?
I gotta let my friends know when I'm coming back.
Yeah, sure thing.
Plus, I gotta let 'em know that, uh, we found the little lens thing.
Can I see it?
Yeah, sure. Here, I got it. Here you go. [laughs]
-Go long. -[JJ] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
[tense music playing]
[Groff] Sorry, my… my bad.
[chuckles]
I'll get you a new one, a better one, the upgrade.
In fact, I'm going to replace everything you own. [laughs]
From now on, everything you have is going to be better.
Come on.
[tense music intensifies]
[JJ] How long is this gonna take?
We gotta beat the tide to get the boat back up the channel.
[Groff] Okay, but first, hear me out.
This… this crown,
it's very valuable,
and there's a lot of pretty important people
who will pay a lot of money for it.
I like the sound of that.
[Groff chuckles] I thought you might.
I thought I was gonna need the Corsairs to get it, but I think you and I,
the two of us, could get it on our own.
First things first.
[tense music continues]
[exhales] Moment of truth.
[tense music builds]
Wait.
Wait, when did you get this?
Kiara.
So we could check it with the lens. She gave it to me.
Oh!
It works!
-What? -[Groff] I knew it.
Wait, really? It works?
-Come look at this. -[JJ] Let me see it. Let me see it.
[tense music continues]
"Mogador."
[Groff] Yes, that's Essaouira.
[JJ] It really does work. Holy shit.
-I have the location of the crown. -[JJ chuckles]
From… from Murat himself.
[Groff laughs]
-It actually works. -[liquid pouring]
[tense music continues]
So this is why you actually came back.
-I knew it. -Listen to me, son.
You and me, together,
we are unstoppable.
-[chuckles] You know it. -[Groff] But we gotta hop to it.
-I say we head east to Bermuda. -[JJ] What?
And gas up.
-Wait. Like, right now? -It's a long way to Morocco.
We gotta get going, son.
We gotta pick up my friends. That's what we gotta do first.
I mean, the map, the lens, like, they put in the work to get that too.
Wait, and we're just gonna take it? We can't do that.
Of course we can. [chuckles]
Once we find the crown, we'll give them what they deserve.
Don't you worry about that.
Yeah.
But we can't just take it.
I give you permission.
Just this once.
[chuckling]
[tense music continues]
No, I can't do that.
I'm not gonna steal from my friends.
And also,
I don't think Kiara gave you the scroll.
She wouldn't do that.
[scoffs]
So what did happen?
Now,
why would you let me tell you my plan if you weren't gonna come with me?
You're just like your mother,
tricking me into confidences.
Just to box me in. And I won't have it.
[tense music builds]
You killed her, didn't you?
[gasps, scoffs]
[chuckling] What?
[JJ] Yeah.
Larissa, my mother.
You killed her.
Larissa drowned.
[tense music builds]
It was a terrible… [sniffles]
…terrible tragedy.
[tense music intensifies]
My boy.
My beautiful…
[tense music builds]
…beautiful boy.

So long, Jackson.
[uptempo tense music playing]
[JJ] Come back!
[coughs, mumbles] Come back.

Please.
Come… back.

[coughing, panting]
-[groaning] -[melancholy music playing]
[groaning, panting]
[boat engine revving]
[Kiara] Keep going!
I lost signal, but it was somewhere out here.
Where is he? Where are you?
[panting]
[boat engine revving]
[JJ screaming] Hey! Over here!
Hey!
I see him! There he is!
He's out there. Go!
-[John B] JJ! -[Kiara] JJ!
[JJ] Hey!
-[Pope] Hold on! -We're coming!
-[John B] Pull him in. Pull him in. -[Pope] Hold on.
[Kiara] You've got him. Sit him down. Put him down.
[JJ groaning]
Are you okay?
-Oh my God. -[Kiara] Are you okay?
-[JJ coughs] -What happened?
JJ.
-You're good. -[JJ groaning]
It's okay, just breathe. We're gonna get you back.
-What happened? -[JJ groaning]
Groff.
[panting] Yeah. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds, subsides]
[door opens]
[Groff grunts]
So, the prodigal son returns.
I promised you I'd come back, and I brought the scroll.
Yeah, after we caught up with you.
Where else was I gonna go?
So, he kills one of our own in a dispute, and yet here he is.
Bringing us back the scroll like nothing ever happened.
Let's cut his throat.
-[Dalia] That is not a bad idea. -[scoffs]
[menacing music playing]
Let's go get the crown.
[menacing music intensifies]
We will be watching you.
You know, if you mess this up, if you lie to us,
I'll kill you myself.
And it'll be slow.
[exhales]
[menacing music builds, fades]
-[frog croaking] -[JJ grunting]
[JJ] You know what's the funniest part?
Is that I actually thought he was coming back for me.
But no, he just wanted to get rid of me. [inhales]
[exhales] And now Pope's a fugitive.
Welcome to the club, bro.
And we have nothing now.
[inhales] We lost everything, and it's all my fault.
[Kiara] It's not your fault.
[JJ] Yeah, it is.
