MINER: I found it!
I Found it Monty!

MINER: I found it Monty!
I found it!

I earned that bonus didn't I,
Monty?

MONTGOMERY:
It's Montgomery.

MONTGOMERY: And what makes
you think

I've got the money

for your outrageous bill?

MINER: Well, we had a deal!

MONTGOMERY: You think I'm
gonna get my hands dirty?

[pistol hammer clicking]
Wonder if this works?

MINER What? No! [Trigger clicks]



MONTGOMERY:
I guess not...

MINER: Are you crazy!?

MONTGOMERY:
I guess I'll have to use mine

MINER:
NO!

[Gunshot]

[women screaming]

NELL FORD: Harriette
Alda Ford get over here!

GRANDMA FORD:
Get back to your studies baby!

MASTER FORD: Handsome!

[horses trotting]

MASTER FORD: Get Nell and my
daughter to safety, please!

[horse neighs]

JESSE JAMES:
Well Robert Ford...

when you and your brother
offered to take Frank's position



In this gang

you never mentioned to me that
you had a baby sister.

ROBERT FORD: Yeah well
this land's mine Jesse.

CHARLIE FORD:
Don't worry about it, Jesse.

There's enough in that house to
make it worth the whole gang's time.

NELL FORD: Come on. Come on
lets go back in the house...

Lets go back in the house!

MASTER FORD: I never expected
my sons to be riding up with

THE Jesse James

To what do I owe this honor
gentlemen?

ROBERT: Charlie and I are your
flesh and blood, we're your kin!

Alright now where's the will?

Civil War ended 17 years ago
Mr. James.

This is their land.

They're gonna defend it just
like they fought for their freedom.

You can't hang on
to them old ways anymore.

ROBERT: I WANT THE
WILL PA! WHERE IS IT!?

SAMSON: You boys will
never get it like this.

JESSE: I must be either
gettin' old, or stupid...

Frank would have never let us
get tied into a family dispute.

CHARLIE: Now Samson you
better put that thing down

before you get somebody hurt.

SAMSON: Charles... ain't
nobody gonna win this.

JESSE:
We don't want any problems,

and it'd be a real shame to put
a hole in that pretty vest.

MASTER FORD:
Robert listen to me!

♪ [tense music swells]

[window breaks]

[gunshots]

ROBERT:
PA!

MASTER FORD: Don't do this son! I
just paid off the bank. It's all ours now.

ROBERT: Who's us?

MASTER FORD:
It belongs to your mother.

ROBERT: Nell is NOT my
mother! My mother is DEAD!

Where is the will?!

MASTER FORD: It's locked in the
bank. You'll never get it out of that box.

[gunshot]

[Nell crying]

[page turning]

JACKSON: Montgomery South
became a champion of history

when he unearthed this civil war
outlaw pistol belonging to Jesse James

from a haunted cavern mine
shaft near Ford Farm.

[door opening]

MONTGOMERY: It's good
doing business with ya...

Don't be touchin' things
that don't belong to you.

BEN FORD: Jackson
Please don't. Let's go.

[brakes squeal]

[car door opens]

[car door slams]

JACKSON: Why did we have to
come here this early dad?

BEN: I'll tell you
on the way to school

REBECCA FORD: Hey baby,
hey Jackson...

baby is everything OK?

MONTGOMERY: When they
get settled into the Illinois plant...

I want an accident.

CLAY: Like what
kind of an accident?

MONTGOMERY: I want him fired...

or worse.

SHERIFF ANGELA: Wait
right here

[quirky music]

SHERIFF ANGELA: Monty. We
need to talk about our little project.

In private.

MONTGOMERY:
It's Montgomery... Ma'am.

[children rummaging
and whispering]

[children cheering over
good grades]

MRS. SMART: You all did fairly
well on your civil war legend report.

[bell ringing]

Have a safe weekend!

[children walking]

MRS. SMART: Doniphan...
Doniphan?

If you please, a moment.

Mr. James,

you're the only one that's going to
have to redo the report this weekend.

Otherwise it's an F.

DONIPHAN: An F!?

MRS. SMART: I googled it.
A True West Magazine blog?

Really?

Other than your name, Doniphan James at
the top, the entire report is plagiarized.

You are far better than this.

One chance to make this up.

Between you and me. No copy. No
paste. Do we understand each other?

DONIPHAN: Yes Ma'am

MRS, SMART: Monday.
A civil war legend.

From a unique light.

I look forward to seeing what you can do
when you put some effort into something.

♪ [lighthearted music]

[locker slams]

[bus door shutting]

DONIPHAN: She didn't like my
True West Magazine report.

I have to rewrite the whole thing
this weekend... otherwise I get an "F"!

[phone buzzing]
JACKSON: Alright look.

This time I'm gonna help you
with your report.

DONIPHAN: Hey Mom! I'm gonna do my work on
the bus. Then I'm gonna head to Jackie's.

LISA JAMES: Whoa there cowboy. Tell
me how you did on your history report?

DONIPHAN: It was on Civil War. Definitely
going to ace it! No doubt. I promise!

LISA: Doniphan...

DONIPHAN: So,
can I go to Jackie's?

LISA: Okay but listen. Be home by
dark. And son, that means BEFORE dark...

alright I love you.

DONIPHAN: Alright, love you too.
Bye.

Dude, I have the greatest
name for our club.

"The James Gang!"

JACKSON: Really? "The James Gang"? You know
Jesse James did some pretty bad things?

He fought for the South...

How about... "The Jackson Five?"

DONIPHAN: Dude, that won't work.
There's only three of us...

JACKSON: Oh yeah...

ROSE: Crush Much?

HOPE: What? Shut up!

TV[BOY]: You started this
whole end of the world

world zombie apocalypse thing,
by digging up a freakin' box!

TV[JOHN JACOBS]: We're in a
cemetery in Ford County Missouri

I'm John Jacobs: Ghost Hunter.
Come with me.

[door opens]

DONIPHAN: Hey! Look Tobi!

JOHN JACOBS: Paranormal activity
in this area has definitely spiked.

DONIPHAN:
Hey Tobi! Look!

I'm John Jacobs: Ghost Hunter...
And I'm scared.

DONIPHAN: I gotta ball!
I gotta ball! I gotta ball!

DONIPHAN: Grandpa,
I'm gonna head over to Jackie's!

[TV Plays]

DONIPHAN: Hey Grandpa!

GRANDPA EDDIE: Go on

DONIPHAN: Did you take your
meds?

GRANDPA: Don't you
worry about me!

Hey! I don't know if your cousin
Pippin has taken her driver's test yet.

So stay off the road
just in case!

JOHN JACOBS: I swear there's a
light over there in the back...

DONIPHAN: You know its
all fake right?

GRANDPA: I know, I know!

JOHN JACOBS: I can feel it
inside my bones...

you can feel a chill
on the back of your neck...

GRANDPA: That is
not how it happened to me...

CRICKET: Donnie!

Doniphan Lee James!

Don't you ignore me!
I want to come with you.

DONIPHAN: C'mon, Cricket...

CRICKET: Hu-uh! You make
time for your little brother!

DONIPHAN: All right, all right... you
can come. But only if you can keep up!

And not be a hindrance!

[playful music]

What's a hinder-dance?!!

JACKSON: Lets do this!

DONIPHAN: We're gonna
need the shovels.

HOPE: Don't forget
about the tunes!

[music kicks off louder]

HOPE: The rock will roll!

JACKSON: Dude, I'm so ready.

DONIPHAN: This fort
is gonna be SO savage

HOPE: It's gonna
be so spectacular

DONIPHAN: Fo, sho, yo.

HOPE: Fo, sho!

JACKSON: How many times do I
have to tell you... that is last century.

DONIPHAN: Dude, you have told
me that a thousand times! Ok?

I like it! C'mon lets go

JACKSON: Okay Yeah,
let's go.

DONIPHAN: COME ON!

HOPE: LETS GO!

JACKSON: So, what's
the plan?

DONIPHAN & HOPE: A lot of digging for
the escape tunnel-slash-alternate entrance.

JACKSON: Right. Let's do it.

JACKSON: What is that?

HOPE: Curtains!

DONIPHAN: That's... nice.

JACKSON: [Sighs]

JACKSON: I really want
to put an Xbox in here.

DONIPHAN: Dude,
that's impossible.

That would take a really, really,
REALLY long extension cord.

JACKSON: I'll take the inside
I guess.

HOPE: I'll start the DJ-ing
and get to work on the back.

DONIPHAN: No, no, no!

HOPE: Doniphan?

Come on!

HOPE: Are you ok?

What's this?

DONIPHAN: It's a big hole.
That's what it is.

If we dig any deeper,
the whole fort will collapse.

HOPE: Well, hold on.
Maybe we can use it?

You know, incorporate it into
the fort? How deep does it go?

DONIPHAN: I don't know,
it's a giant black hole.

HOPE: Donnie give me
the flashlight.

[flashlight clicks on]

HOPE: There's something
in there. It's a chain? Or...

maybe it's a necklace?

DONIPHAN: Ah, it's stuck!
Jackson Help me!

DONIPHAN: [grunts]

DONIPHAN: Ew Gross!

[suspensful music]

HOPE: Really? Come on, guys.

Aw, Isn't that cute?
It's a heart!

DONIPHAN & JACKSON: Cute!?

JACKSON: We call the sheriff! This could
be a murder victim or a missing person

or someone off the side of
one of those old milk cartons!

DONIPHAN: Great...

HOPE: This girl's been here for a long
time and she sure ain't going anywhere.

No rush. Maybe she's got a cool
ring or something?

DONIPHAN: Okay, leave it alone. I say we
don't call the cops or do anything at all

until we talk to my mom. Because somebody
was basically buried in Jackie's backyard!

JACKSON: Hope you can't
just rob a dead person!

HOPE: What's she gonna do?
Get angry?

JACKSON: Well how do you
know it's a girl?

HOPE: She's got a cool
necklace... duh

JACKSON: ...None of this
will make a difference

[Ominous music swells]

DONIPHAN: Dude, you're not gonna
catch anything... there isn't even a hook.

JACKSON: I know...

DONIPHAN: Okay, so what's the
deal with you right now!?

JACKSON: My family is moving,
we leave monday.

DONIPHAN: What? Why?

HOPE: Where?

JACKSON: My dad got laid off.
He got a job offer in Illinois.

Montgomery told my
dad this morning.

DONIPHAN: And your just now
telling me this?

JACKSON: I guess I didn't think
it would sound so bad

after finding a dead guy
in a hole under our fort.

DONIPHAN: You were wrong.

JACKSON: I was wrong.

HOPE: There's gotta be
something that can be done.

JACKSON: My Dad lost his job.
I can't do anything, I'm just a kid!

DONIPHAN: Monday?

CRICKET: It's dark outside.

[door opens]

DONIPHAN: Mom! Mom! We were at
our base, and we found some skeleton...

cracked and gross...
and we gotta call someone..

Mom mom, we were at our
base, digging and we found...

and we busted through some
sinkhole and we found this skeleton

with a crusty old key,
and a chain.

And Jackson said he
has to leave town, he cant move-

LISA JAMES: Stop!

Just stop!

You lied to me

Doniphan Lee James!
I spoke to your teacher.

You failed your report? Of all
people and of all things? You?

DONIPHAN: But Mom, we found this
old skeleton with a key in its hand, and-

GRANDPA: Key?
Let me see that key!

LISA: I don't care! Why would you
lie to me? Why are you doing this?

Only honest Abe knows.

Don't you pull that on me.

That stupid little phrase has
haunted us for generations.

You will not end up like every
other failed James man in this family!

[doorbell rings]
[Tobi barks]

I'll help him with the report.
[doorbell rings]

It should be on Jesse James. He
is his great, great, great grandfather.

DONIPHAN: Did you all miss
the whole "dead body" thing?

LISA: No dad! And Doniphan
I don't wanna hear another lie!

DONIPHAN: It's a dead body mom!-
LISA: ENOUGH!

GRANDPA: That's something this family
knows. We can use that to get his report up.

REBECCA: Hope this
isn't a bad time.

LISA: No, Rebecca.
It's fine. Come on in

BEN: I was hoping
to speak to Eddie.

LISA: We can all sit right
here and talk, Ben.

JACKSON: Did they all just miss
the entire dead body thing?

GRANDPA: What's up?

BEN FORD: Montgomery won.
He fired me at the plant today.

Well, actually, he concocted some way to get
me to transfered out of town... to Illinois.

REBECCA: He's forcing Ben,
Jackson and I from our home Lisa.

He's gonna get the house.

JACKSON: Why would he
want OUR house?

GRANDPA: It's not the house he
wants, it's what's under that property.

BEN: What? Empty caves?

GRANDPA: OH They're not empty.

We have been under that man's
thumb as long as I can remember

and paying rent on property that
I know belongs to our family.

LISA: No one has ever proven
that Ben. [Tobi barking]

REBECCA: And no one ever will.
[Tobi barking]

LISA: Maybe it's time that we all
move... and put the curse to rest.

BEN: What about the kids?

LISA: For the kids. [Tobi
barking] Tobi shut up!

HOPE: Why can't you
just get another job?

BEN: I wish I could.

Montgomery owns this town. He has everyone
thinking that I killed Doniphan's dad.

My best friend?
I can't go nowhere

LISA: Not everyone Ben.

REBECCA: He uses this against Ben every
time he tries to stop working for him.

BEN: He has me on a noose.

GRANDPA: We all know
that wasn't your fault!

BEN: The town doesn't.

LISA: But we do!

[toby barks]
[triumphant music]

LISA: And that's all that
matters.

That cave, the Treasure,

they are nothing but a dark curse
that comes after every James boy

just to break him, destroy him.

[Tobi Barks]

Look it's time to move.

GRANDPA: This whole town will
always be under Monty's buckle

until someone says enough
is enough. [Tobi barking]

LISA: TOBI SHUT UP!

BEN: He always beats
us to the punch.

GRANDPA: Ya know every James
boy has tried to make it right

and failed...

Maybe we should all move away.

Tuck tail and run. Or maybe we
finally have a reason to fight.

LISA: I will not lose my son
like we lost his father.

[Tobi barking]

I'm NOT doing this again.
We're NOT doing this again.

GRANDPA: Well I guess I'm just
an old man, dreamin' old dreams.

LISA: Think it's time you go
get started on that book report.

[Tobi barking]

LISA: TOBI SHUT UP!

[whimpering]

[Triumphant music]

[sounds of battle]

DONIPHAN: Man, this sucks.

JACKSON: Tell me about it.

HOPE: There's gotta be
something we can do.

[mysterious music]

[chest clicks open]

[rummaging]

[dramatic music]

GRANDPA: "horse walks into a
bar, the bartender sees him..."

"And?..."

DONIPHAN: "...why the long face?
Grandpa. Why the long face?"

GRANDPA: Yeah...

Listen.

DONIPHAN: Why the long face...

GRANDPA: This is purely to
inspire your homework assignment.

Okay?

Now no one ever came of
any good from this here book.

But in the past our family has gone after
this lost treasure for all wrong reasons.

Monty knows the treasure
is still there

otherwise he wouldn't be spending
all that money going after it for so long.

["Only Honest Abe Knows"] Jesse
wrote this on the first page all by itself,

like he meant to tease us.

Take a look, take a look boy.

Look at that son,
it's right here in the book!

[page flips]

HANDSOME: We best get a move on.

NELL: Waited too long.
I can feel it.

Them boys got what they needed
to know. What they really wanted.

HANDSOME: We got to try.
It's all we got.

NELL: What we gonna do?

A black woman is just gonna walk all
fancy right on into that white man's bank

and demand her property?

HANDSOME: I promised
Master Ford I'd get you safe.

How safe you gonna be, and everyone
else who lives there, with nothing!?

NELL: Ain't nothin' there
no more.

[pistol hammer clicks]

[coins rustling]

JESSE: Let's make
this a quick one boys.

[guitar music plays]

[sounds of town talking
and working]

[hammering]

MAN: I missed you

[guitar music continues]

JESSE: The townsfolk don't
seem to appreciate our horses.

BOY: Sheriff! Over there!

SHERIFF: Oh no!

Hey! Wake up! Go get the boys!

JESSE: I don't know how you
ever talked me into this Robert?

The only thing I want to do with the law in this
town is to get to know the sheriff's daughter.

ROBERT: South. Take me
to the lock boxes,

in the back, C'mon lets go! I want
the lock box that this key opens.

Jesse, I got the window!
I got it!

JESSE: I didn't mean you really
wanted to meet the Sheriff's daughter.

[gun hammer clicks]
ROBERT: Open it South!

SOUTH: I... I can't. It takes two
keys... matching keys to open it.

Your father and your mother...
Mrs Ford each have... had one.

JESSE: We go now or you're gonna
open up a permanent account at this bank!

[pistol decocks]

[hit]

JESSE: I swear to god you're
gonna lead me to an early death.

ROBERT: This box has the Ford
family name on it, alright?

It's my Legacy.
It's mine by rights.

JESSE: Sheriff's got a box
with your name on it as well.

I don't think you want to
be dragging it around!

HARRISON: WOHOO!

[gunshot]

[rapid gunshots]

WOMAN: Hurry
give me my gun!

[gunshot]

[gunshots]

[gunshot]

[gunshots]

[women screaming]

[ghasp]

[gunshots]

[women screaming]

[gunshots contiue]

[trotting and gunshots]

JESSE: We need a place to
hunker down! Some place to hide!

HARRISON: There's a cave down
the valley! Know it pretty well.

[gunshots]

[man grunts]

[gunshots]

COWBOY: Dagnabbit!
What's going on out here?

[gunshots]

COWBOY: TARNATION!

[gunshot]

[horses trotting through water]

[energetic music]

JESSE: C'mon boys!

C'mon boys, into the hole!

[frantic rustling]

[horses neighing]

[eerie music]

[gunshot]

JESSE: C'mon, C'mon...

The horses are spooked!

POSSE: There they are!

[gunshots]

[eerie music intensifies]

[gunshots]

[deep bassy sound]

[NARRATION] GRANDPA: They
held up deep inside the cave

with the whole town's money
and the box.

Now legend tells the Indians used
to live in that underground kingdom

until the white man came and
killed them all,

and made their home into
an underground mining operation.

Well the ghosts of those Indians
still live in those caves.

Jesse and Robert struck some
kind of deal with these spirits

to show them a way out in
exchange for the treasure.

HOPE: A deal
with Native American ghosts?

GRANDPA: Legend tells...
spirits took the treasure

but it wasn't enough.
They wanted blood.

So, they took the
rest of Jesse's men.

JACKSON: Let me see that!

GRANDPA: Robert and Jesse escaped but not
before spirits put a curse on the both of them.

No one knows how they got out,
and no one's ever seen the treasure.

That's why he left a trail of
clues and maps in his journal,

but he left out just enough information
that no one could go back without him.

But as the curse would have it Robert Ford
shot Jesse in the back and killed him dead

before he'd tell anybody
where the treasure was...

[thunder crashes]

[thunder]

[sounds of water]

JACKSON: So if we find the
treasure, we find the Will?

And that proves that my family
has always owned the land?

DONIPHAN: Look, my great, great
grandfather failed. His son failed.

My dad... he died! All for
this stupid cursed treasure!?

What makes you think we'll find it!
What even makes you think we'll make it?

HOPE: Montgomery won't stop here.
Someone has to step up and stop him.

Is it dangerous?
Yeah. It is.

But think of what it means
for both both of your families.

Think of what it means
for all of us.

Your dad didn't have this key.

You're talking about a whole
unexplored underground world

We don't know anything
about those caves.

Look right here in this book. It just
looks like a maze of who knows what?

And what is that? Some
underground water tunnel thing?

Guys we've never been in there!

HOPE: This book has been there. We
have more clues than anyone did before us.

Jesse James always
intended to go back.

Maybe the time has come.

This sounds like the start
of an adventure.

[thunder rubbling]

[rain]

JACKSON: Let's say we do this. I'm
not saying we are, but let's just say.

These caves run under
woods that go on forever,

all the way to the river
and maybe beyond!

How do we even know
where to start?

HOPE: Where we found the key.

DONIPHAN: The Fort. But,
even if we do find the lock box,

it has two keys.
We only have one.

JACKSON: This picture shows a
key that looks like it goes to a gun?

Like maybe it opens the handle.

HOPE: Or maybe it's in
the handle.

DONIPHAN: Hey! Montgomery found
a pistol with a white handle

while he was mining in
the caves last month.

It was all over everyone's
phone!

HOPE: No telling where
he hid that.

JACKSON: In plain sight. I saw it this morning
in a glass case in Montgomery's office!

It's right there!

HOPE: You see? There's
something greater going on here.

It's like fate picked this
moment to bring all this together.

All of us together,
to see what we're made of.

To change history and write a
new legend. Our legend. We need -

CRICKET: -the second key!

HOPE: CRICKET!

HEY GET OUT OF HERE!

JACKSON: OK, but the gun
is in a glass case, locked,

in Montgomery's office! How
are we going to pull that off?

DONIPHAN: If we can get
there, I can get us in.

HOPE: What do you mean?

DONIPHAN: I'm a James boy!

I broke into school a few
times to change my grades.

JACKSON: What?

DONIPHAN: Middle School didn't
really work out. They had an alarm system.

JACKSON: You're a thief?!

DONIPHAN: I never stole anything. I
just... changed some grades. A few times.

GRANDPA: Take the book
son. You're going to need it.

It's everyday good deeds
that keep darkness at bay,

and you kids are good.

DONIPHAN: Come with us Grandpa!

GRANDPA: I love a good
adventure

but my time has passed.
I'd only hold you back.

You can call me though. And
I'll be like Batman's Alfred,

ready to hop on those
internet tubes and save the day.

[laughing]

DONIPHAN: You should
keep hold of the key.

It will be a lot safer with you,
but just keep it under your shirt.

HOPE: Alright, now what?

DONIPHAN: If we're gonna get
that pistol out of Monty's office,

we're gonna need some
wheels... Pippin.

JACKSON: Pippin! She farts...
They really smell.

[dramatic music]

RED CLOAK: These are not
patient men I work for Monty.

They get what they want...
they get results.

They want... their treasure.

MONTGOMERY: I have the key

RED CLOAK: To what?

MONTGOMERY: I'm working
on that.

RED CLOAK: You made a deal.

They are giving you three
days to hold up your end of it.

MONTGOMERY: I need more
time than that!

RED CLOAK: Three days, Monty!

After that we can no
longer protect you.

[thunder]

[ringing]

PIPPIN: Hello?

DONIPHAN: Pippin. It's Doniphan.
I need a huge favor.

I need you to meet us at the barn
tomorrow right after your driver's test.

Oh and no pressure. You HAVE
TO PASS, or else everything is ruined!

...Okay?

[door slams]

MONTGOMERY: LISTEN UP!

I'm only going to say this once!

You're gonna get in there... you're
gonna tear these caverns apart!

You're gonna find my treasure

and I'm gonna pay you double if
that treasure is in my hand by morning!

Got it?

ALRIGHT! GET TO WORK!

[door closes]

[playful music]

CRICKET: I'm feeling kinda
hungry.

Maybe I'll wake mom up and
ask her to cook us breakfast

DONIPHAN: Jeez Cricket...
Fine! You can go!

CRICKET: YES!

JACKSON: What is he doing
here!? He can't come with us!

DONIPHAN: I don't wanna
talk about it.

CRICKET: I made
sandwiches

DONIPHAN: Ready for one
last great adventure?

JACKSON: This could be
a complete waste of time.

HOPE: It could be the
best moment of our lives.

DONIPHAN: You got
something better to do?

JACKSON: [sigh]
Lets go

DONIPHAN: If Pippin doesn't
pass this morning,

this could be the shortest
adventure we've ever had.

CRICKET: Hold this

DONIPHAN: [grrr]

[engine running]

PIPPIN: I sweat when
I'm nervous...

[fart]

I fart too...

INSTRUCTOR: OK.
Let's get THIS over with.

[ignition squeals]

PIPPIN: Ooooh... sorry

INSTRUCTOR: I need you to pull to
the end of the block, and make a left

PIPPIN: Okay.

[silly music]

[brakes squeak]

INSTRUCTOR: Turn right and take
it a little easier on the gas and brakes.

[scrawling]

PIPPIN: Pretty could...

INSTRUCTOR: You passed

PIPPIN: YES!

INSTRUCTOR: Barely...

And I mean barely.

I'm gonna chalk this
one up to inexpirience.

Find a calm, safe place to practice...
and don't make me regret this.

[hip hop plays]

[music stops, Pippin farts]

DONIPHAN: You passed?

PIPPIN: Aced it.

JACKSON: What was
exactly your score?

PIPPIN: Aced

Do you spell that with a "D"?

[laughter]

PIPPIN: Look, I don't see any
of you here that can drive!

DONIPHAN: Alright, everybody hop
in. We're running out of time.

I'll explain on the way.

PIPPIN: Okay. I'm in

CRICKET: I'm Hungry!
Can we eat now?

DONIPHAN: Man Jesse James was
the greatest adventurer ever!

JACKSON: He's also the guy who
got my family kicked off the land.

CRICKET: What is that?

DONIPHAN: I don't know.
Looks like a top hat I guess

JACKSON: I still think
that's water.

PIPPIN: Okay so...
what's going on?

HOPE: Well, we have one key...

CRICKET: We need the
second key from monty.

JACKSON: Then we use the book to
find the teasure and the Will.

DONIPHAN: So we can
stop Jackson from leaving.

JACKSON: Now...
Can we go any faster?

[engine reving]

[brakes squealing]

CRICKET: AHHHH

[kiss]

Dude, I can't believe you
broke into elementary school.

HOPE: I can't believe you
changed your grades.

DONIPHAN: Shhh!

[door squeak]

[drill whirling]

[drill whirling]

[chewing]

DONIPHAN: Jackson
help me. I've got it!

HOPE: How does this work?

JACKSON: We have to
open the handle

CRICKET: Woahhhh

DONIPHAN: Hopefully like this.

JACKSON: It's not there!

[everyone groans]

PIPPIN: Look! I'ts hanging
around Monty's neck!

HOPE: I bet he wears it there all the time!
A necklace like that you don't take off.

JACKSON: Or it's hidden at
his house...

PIPPIN: We've already
broken into one place.

DONIPHAN: Well... looks like
we're going to Monty's house!

DONIPHAN: The doors are locked.
I don't see anyone in the windows.

There are vehicles out front but
I don't think anyone is here.

DONIPHAN: Are you
sure about this?

DONIPHAN: Let's just get
our stuff and stick to the plan.

JACKSON: A doggie door?
What if Cujo's in there?

CRICKET: Or a doberman
or something.

DONIPHAN: Probably some
little, yappy wiener dog.

HOPE: Not with a dog
door that big!

DONIPHAN: Probably doesn't even
have a dog. Maybe it's just for show?

Alright little brother,
you're up. You wanted to help.

You're the only one who
can fit through that door.

CRICKET: Awesome.

[silly music]

[clacking]

DONIPHAN: Let's start
upstairs, work our way down.

[quietly moving]

[silently opening door]

JACKSON: Uh, let's go...

DONIPHAN: The key is hanging
around his neck.

Ow do we get it off...
The fishing rod!

JACKSON: No no no no, that's a
bad idea. There's not even a hook!

PIPPIN: There's absolutely no
way this isn't going to wake him up.

HOPE: What about this?

JACKSON: A dog biscuit?

HOPE: We can make a
hook that won't stab him!

DONIPHAN: What are you
gonna do? Bite it?

HOPE: What? No way!

PIPPIN: Are you serious...
me? A dog bone?

CRICKET: C'mon guys.

Hmmm. Not bad.

DONIPHAN: Hmm.
That might work.

[engine running]

[engine stopping]

[yawns and farts]

DONIPHAN: Okay. Here we go.

[snoring]

[snarls and mumbles]

JACKSON: This isn't working!
Let's go! Before he wakes up

DONIPHAN: I got this.

HOPE: Hold on.

DONIPHAN: What are you doing?!

[snarls]

YES!

[farts]

JACKSON: How did you
know that would work?

HOPE: That's how I keep my dad from
snoring when he's sleeping on the couch.

[growls]

JACKSON: It's Cujo!

CRICKET: Qucik, he's
on the bed!

HOPE: He's got the bone DONIPHAN: He's
got the string JACKSON: He's got the key!

MONTGOMERY: HEY! What...

BILLY: Where are the kids?

CLAY: They're in the hole,

CRICKET: Wicked!

DONIPHAN: Guys watch

JACKSON: That's not a lake,
that's a puddle.

PIPPIN: Oh my god,
I can not get my shoes wet.

[rocks shuffling]

JACKSON: Guys. We'll never
be able to outrun them.

DONIPHAN: We are now...
we've got wheels.

MONTGOMERY: Start diggin!

DONIPHAN: Hope, be my eyes!

JACKSON: Got the two front ones.

DONIPHAN: It'll

DONIPHAN: Hope! You're next!

[grunting]

I FOUND YOU!

CLAY: Sam in the back!

Billy Hold this!

[cart rolling out]

PIPPIN: Please tell me you
know where this thing's going?

[carts rolling]

[adventurous music]

JACKSON: They got a
cart working!

CRICKET: They're catching up.

HOPE: They're catching up fast!

DONIPHAN: They're heavier than
us so they have more mass for speed

Yeah, but they'll have a
hard time stopping.

Defense!

CLAY: Cobb! Onto that cart!

BILLY: We're gonna get you!

[thud]

[crash]
COBB: OOF, I hate kids.

[blows]

BILLY: Grrrr

CLAY: Sam, onto the platform!

SAMUEL: Me!?
CLAY: YEAH!

Okay, fine!

JACKSON: [screams]

[shots]

SAMUEL: AHH!

[brakes grinding]

[shots] PIPPIN: Say
hello to my little friend

DONIPHAN: Everyone jump
in the water now!

[tumbling]

[shots]

[splash]

[splash]

CRICKET: AHHH!

[splash]

[splash]

[wack]

SAMUEL: UGH AH!

[splash]

SAMUEL: [groans]

CLAY: [straining]

[brakes grinding]

[loud boom]

[loud boom]

[wood breaking]

CLAY: [grunts]

[eerie music]

CRICKET: [gasping]

CRICKET: [coughing]

HOPE: Cricket!!

JACKSON: Hold on Cricket!

[gasping and coughing]

DONIPHAN: My hat!

[coughing]

PIPPIN: Come on Cricket!

[coughing and gasping]

BILLY: Blahh

BILLY: Ugh! I'm
going to throw up.

[silly music]

CLAY: [laughing]

SAMUEL: What is this crap?

CLAY: Oh, That's exactly
what it is.

[squeaking]

SAMUEL: Bat poop? Ugh!

BILLY: Those kids are
gonna to pay.

CLAY: They'd take you more
seriously if you weren't covered in guano.

DONIPHAN: It's okay guys.
I got it!

JACKSON: Really? So glad
you found your hat.

Good thing your brother didn't
drown while you were searching for it!

Let it go man. You are
not Jesse James.

DONIPHAN: I know!
It's my dad's hat.

It's all I have left.

JACKSON: You don't get it!
DONIPHAN: No you don't understand.

JACKSON: You are not your dad!
And you don't wanna be Jesse James.

He killed and stole for slavery.

He was a bank robber,
not a super hero.

Even his friends turned on him!

HOPE: Jackson just stop!

JACKSON: We are going
after money that Jesse stole.

DONIPHAN: It was bank money
from Montgomery's family.

JACKSON: It was the town's
money. That Jesse killed for.

That makes it blood money!

PIPPIN: Doesn't even matter cause
we're all gonna die if we don't move now

HOPE: There's an opening
here! Should we take it?

PIPPIN: Maybe we should
check the book?

DONIPHAN: Here you
figure it out.

No no no!

It's gone.

JACKSON: You're my best friend,
but you always do this,

but come this Monday, if we
even make it out of here alive,

I won't be here to save your brother. I
won't be here to help you with your report.

I won't be here to finish
the fort.

You have to finish what
you started this time.

DONIPHAN: I lost the book.

I almost killed my brother,

and now we're lost
in Montgomery's cave

Was I a hinder-dance?

PIPPIN: Wow. I did not realize
I was signing up for some

sappy, dramatic,

deficating all over each other,
depressing brotherly moment.

JACKSON: Is deficating
even a word?

PIPPIN: Look. We've been shot
at,

we've been attacked by a dog,
we've been chased at high speeds,

we've drowned in a lake,

I'm cold and wet, my
hair is ruined,

and not to mention if we don't
get going soon, we're going to die!

JACKSON: Well If I die I
don't have to move on Monday.

CRICKET: You look stupid in that
hat anyway.

Is that really why you wear it?

DONIPHAN: Well...

That hat is not dad Doniphan.

Dad's in here.

CRICKET: Are we gonna sit here
or are we gonna do something?

DONIPHAN: You're
right little buddy.

We've made it this far.
Further than dad ever did.

CRICKET: Dad would
want us to go on.

This is a great adventure.

We're gonna stop
Jackson from leaving.

DONIPHAN: Well, we can
swim toward the bad guys

or follow this opening,
and see where it goes.

CRICKET: Hm, Okay.

BILLY: I'm coming for you kids!

DONIPHAN: This better go
somewhere, fast!

HOPE: It's up here guys!

[shuffling]

CRICKET: Have a nice day sir

[sloshing]

[wet cave sounds]

DONIPHAN: C'mon, c'mon!
They're on their way.

[panting]

HOPE: It's a dead end!

JACKSON: What are we
going to do now?

CLAY: GET OFF!

[splash]

PIPPIN: We're gonna die.

HOPE: There's no where to go.

JACKSON: Oh! Come on!

CRICKET: Nasty!

PIPPIN: Oh gross!

DONIPHAN: Pippin was that you?!

PIPPIN: This is way beyond
nervous!

HOPE: What is that smell?!

DONIPHAN: It's coming from
over here.

EVERYONE: OH!!!

DONIPHAN: UGH!

HOPE: What is that?!

JACKSON: I think it's a
dead body?

CRICKET: There's more
than one.

HOPE: Looks like a... Miner?

DONIPHAN: He hasn't been dead
very long, He's not rotted like this guy.

[somber music]

Dad...

HOPE: Doni, are you sure?

DONIPHAN: I know this ring.

I used to play with it while
he shaved.

I'd pretend to be him in
the mirror.

We found you...

[from distance]
CLAY: LIGHT!

I need more light in here.

JACKSON: Guys, quick, they're
coming! Turn off your head lamps.

CRICKET: Are we all going
to die like you dad?

[click]

SAMUEL: Hey, it still works. The
bat poop must have water-proofed it!

BILLY: Hey, hey, you could
probably sell that!

SAMUEL: You think Montgomery
would invest? Business Partner-wise?

BILLY: Yeah

CLAY: No one is going to wipe
crap across their phones, you idiots!

Shut up! C'mon!

LIGHT!

BILLY: Jerk...

[whispering]

[mystical music]

BILLY: Man, What
died up in here?

YOU know who died up in here.

Well... some anyway.

SAMUEL: This don't make any sense.
Did we miss something back there?

BILLY: No, there isn't
anything to miss.

SAMUEL: Well, they couldn't
have just up and disappeared!

BILLY: Well, that's just what
Jesse James did.

CLAY: Wet footprints.

SAMUEL: They went through
the wall?

BILLY: No ya idiot!
They just vanished?

CLAY: Well lookie there. May
just earn that bonus after all boys.

[wind]
[eerie music]

CRICKET: Awwwwe

Wicked!

HOPE: How many are there?

JACKSON: Who are they?

[grunting]

CLAY: Get up here! Before we
lose them.

BILLY: Oh god that stinks.

[grunting]

[grunting]

Guys...

CLAY: Bring the light.

BILLY: No! No. No

SAMUEL: We're coming for you!!!

BILLY: Hey guys!
SAMUEL: You're gonna pay!

[page flips]

[gunshots]

[loud bang]

JESSE: AH!

JESSE: Boys hold your fire! They only
need one shot to know where we're at!

HARRISON: I didn't think I
was gonna die today.

I only have enough rounds for
maybe twelve more shots.

ROBERT: What's next?

JESSE: They're not man enough to
come in here. They're gonna starve us out!

HARISON: We ain't gonna starve.

JESSE: Why ain't we gonna
starve?

HARRISON: Me and my brothers,
we've been all through these caverns.

There's water. We can swim out.

ROBERT: From the rear!
We can ambush them from behind!

JESSE: What are you gonna choke
'em out? Guns don't swim.

HARRISON: Wet powder means
no fire.

[eerie music]

[gunshots]

HARRISON: AHHH!
[gunshot]

[gunshots]

[deep bassy sound]

[eerie strings]

[growling]

SAMUEL: Did you put these here?

CLAY: NO!?

[growling]
[screams]

PIPPIN: What happened?

JACKSON: I don't know.

CRICKET: Maybe it's gonna
bury us like those Indians?

HOPE: Uh, Native Americans?

JACKSON: Guys! It's
Abraham Lincoln!

PIPPIN: That's impossible!

HOPE: No it's not.
It's right there.

JACKSON: It's like a small
Mount Rushmore,

CRICKET: Only it's just him.

DONIPHAN: Honest. Abe. Knows.

Guys, Get it?
It's a play on words!

Honest Abe's nose!

It was right under
his nose all this time.

HOPE: Does that one look
like Papa Smurf?

DONIPHAN: What? No. Look
right there! It's a pile of... clothes??

JACKSON: That's gotta be it!
Let's climb down there and get it!

PIPPIN: Uh, can you CLIMB
a rope?

CRICKET: You can
lower me down.

HOPE: And I'll go with him.

It's Okay.

JESSE: They must really want their money
back! You don't ever go through lock boxes!

Frank knew not to go through
lock boxes. I blame you for this!

You gave them too much
time to gather their men!

CHARLIE: You got the loot!

JESSEL What good's the loot
do me if I can't spend it!?

ROBERT: Ah! Quit cha
belly achin'..You...

JESSE: I blame you for this Robert
Ford! This is your fault! It's your fault!

ROBERT: It's my father's fault!

JESSE: Don't you ever sass
me boy!

JACKSON: We have to go
one at a time.

DONIPHAN: I gotchu okay?

Just keep looking at me.

PIPPIN: They can't be far
behind, we gotta hurry!

JACKSON: Jesse and
Robert stood right here.

DONIPHAN: Jesse and
Robert were trapped right here.

HOPE: Jesse and Robert must
have been naked here. Weird!

Well I'll be...

How on earth?!

It looks just like him.
Without the hat.

ROBERT: Wondered if someone
chiseled him out?

Only honest Abe knows...

Only honest Abe knows.

[eerie noise]

[growling]

EVERYONE: C'mon we gotta go!
We gotta get out of here!

JESSE: We're Swimmin' outta here boys!
Just like Harrison said, It's right there!

JESSE: No coins! We hide
the coins over there!

Anything that weighs you down,
leave it! We'll come back for it later.

[deep bassy sound]

DONIPHAN: They got out
somehow because the pistol

made it from here to the
room with the wagon.

JACKSON: A secret
way out from here?!

Looks like they stripped off
everything that was heavy.

They must have went underwater.

HOPE: Which must lead to the
lake, and the room with the wagon!

JACKSON: It's a puddle,
which is under our fort!

PIPPIN: So that
must be the way out!

DONIPHAN: The same way out
Jesse took to escape the posse!

JACKSON: I saw that in the book.

The top hat, that must
be my boy Abe!

DONIPHAN: An underwater
passage... that's it! that's our way out!

PIPPIN: I'm here for driving
purposes, not diving,

and my hair is so
rashed already.

HOPE: The treasure! It was
under the clothes!

Sacks of coins! More
than we can carry!

CRICKET: And there's old
guns and quick draw holsters!

[rattling]

...and a box?!

DONIPHAN: The bank box?

JACKSON: THE WILL!

We're staying!

[cheerful music]

HOPE: Guys!!

SAMUEL: This is my
official two weeks notice

CLAY: Whatever, can we just find
these kids and get out of here?

Which way?

CLAY: Billy, I want
you to go find Cobb...

...Billy?

Billy?

MONTGOMERY:
Boo! HAHAHAHA

I got you boys good!

CLAY: What's the matter with you?

MONTGOMERY: You look live you've
seen a ghost or something...

MONTGOMERY: Hey, C'mon,
my treasure is this way.

Boy... you stink.

DONIPHAN: You know, my
phone really didn't like that first swim!

JACKSON: My phone's waterproof.

PIPPIN: Guys, Come on, we
gotta go! Help me pull them up.

JACKSON: Ya know? We can't get
the will wet, either.

DONIPHAN: Cricket!
You're a life-saver!

CRICKET: Huh?

DONIPHAN: Sandwiches

Come on Cricket, we gotta go!

Hey guys look at me!

[ The kids struggling]

HOPE: NO!

DONIPHAN: Leave him alone!

MONTGOMERY: Hahaha

Tie 'em up with the
extra rope, boys.

Thanks for bringing me
my treasure kids.

CHARLIE: Jesse, I don't know how
far we'll have to swim to get out of this.

JESSE: I thought I told
you guns don't swim?

[dramatic music]

DONIPHAN: This is nothing ya
know. The real treasure's down there.

MONTGOMERY: [laughing]

you are a terrible liar.

Just like your dad.

SAMUEL: I can see a whole
pile of stuff from here, boss.

MONTGOMERY: Well get
down there then!

Listen here ford boy!

That old will isn't gonna
save your family land.

CLAY: What's the problem?

SAMUEL: There's no rope...

CLAY: Well they
got down there...

CLAY: Yeah, with the rope!

MONTGOMERY: My family's bank has
owned that land for generations.

Master Ford, he paid off the bank the
same day he was killed by his son, Robert.

Right after that, Robert went
and robbed the bank!

Of course the bank had to
hold their land as collateral.

JACKSON: That's deficant.

PIPPIN: That's not a word.

DONIPHAN: That's not legal.

MONTGOMERY: And who
was going to contest it?

His son, the theif?
His wife, the slave?

No, you kids are going to come
to a treacherous end here...

accidentally, in these caverns.
Just like Doniphans dad.

Yeah, I killed him too.

CLAY: Boss, uh, you might
wanna come here.

There really is more down here.

MONTGOMERY: Okay

I win Robert Ford...

DONIPHAN: Go, quick!
Into the water!

MONTGOMERY: Lets go bury that
boy with his dear old dead dad.

HEY!

Follow 'em. We'll drown 'em!

[splashing]

[deep breath]

[deep breath]

DONIPHAN: [gasp]

[coins clanking]

NELL: Alda

Everything's gonna be ok, ok?

I love you ok?

HARRIETTE: What about daddy?

NELL: He'll get the fire...

[panicking]

[swish]

NELL: NO!

Handsome: [grunts]

SAMUEL: [grunts]

STONE: Everybody freeze!

JACKSON: YES!

DISPATCH: Deputy stone
this is 1012, suspects detained.

CRICKET: AWESOME

DISPATCH: Backup on scene
with Sheriff Angela.

MONTGOMERY: Deputy Stone.

So glad you could visit.

[chuckles]

STONE: Let's go see the sheriff

DISPATCH: Officers at Columbia
museum of history

are requesting another unit
to assist with burglary

PIPPIN: Ren't they supposed
to arrest the bad guys?

MONTGOMERY: Thank god
you are here Sheriff Angela.

These kids broke into my private
property and stole my...

MONTGOMERY [RECORDING]: You kids are
going to come to a treacherous end here...

accidentally, in these caverns.

Just like Doniphans dad.

Yeah, I killed him too.

JACKSON: Waterproof, baby!

DONIPHAN: We also have
evidence that the Ford land

has belonged to the Jackson's
family for more than 100 years.

HOPE: Neither Mr. South or his bank
can force the Fords off their property

or continue to charge them for
a mortgage that never existed.

In fact, Mr. South and his bank owes
my family over 100 years worth of rent.

ANGELA: These are some serious
accusations kids.

CRICKET: Not as serious as Montgomery
trying to murder a bunch of kids, Ma'am.

MONTGOMERY: What are you
doing? We had a deal!

ANGELA: If these kids have
what I think they do,

then I'm gonna get everything I
wanted out of this relationship,

You, behind bars.

ANGELA: Take care of this.

MALE DETECTIVE 1:

OFFICERS: Anything you say can and
will be used against you in a court of law

You have the right to an

[slap]

FEMALE DETECTIVE:

MALE DETECTIVE 2:

LISA: Boys!

DONIPHAN & CRICKET:

LISA: Are you ok?

DONIPHAN: Mom,
we're fine. I Promise.

HOPE: How did you
guys even find us?

ANGELA: Well, Doniphan's mom
called in a missing persons this morning

but then your grandpa used your cell
phone's GPS to pinpoint your exact location

then emailed us a map.

STONE: And I discovered a small
clue to validate your entire story.

DONIPHAN: Grandpa?

GRANDPA: Batman's Alfred.

LISA: We're just really
glad you guys are all OK.

DONIPHAN: I know you
entrusted me with the journal

that's been in our family
for generations, but

in the adventure I lost it

GRANDPA: It's okay son!

DONIPHAN: What?!

GRANDPA: Before I gave you the book,
I scanned all the pages into a PDF file,

and uploaded them into a password
encrypted website on the Internet Tubes!

MONTGOMERY: I would have gotten
my treasure too if it wasn't for those

puny little pieces of...

[slam]

[Tobi barking]

BEN: Looks like you
won't be moving.

BEN: I'm being promoted
to manager of the plant.

REBECCA: He's taking
Monty's old job.

GRANDPA: Right where
you belong.

LISA: I can't believe
you did it.

I'm so proud. I'm proud

of both of you

GRANDPA: This is a heavy weight
off the James name, boys.

You've made us ALL proud.

It's Gonna take a lot of legal
action to get things back, but

it's gonna happen.

LISA: Maybe you can use a bit of
that treasure to pay some of it off?

YHOPE: Eah? I'm sure
there's plenty of it.

DONIPHAN: More than plenty.

[sounds of the familes playing
games]

DONIPHAN [REPORT]: Legends
aren't always about heroes.

I thought a hero was just
what I saw in old movies,

but it's much more than ust
busting bad guys and adventures...

It's caring about others
more than yourself.

A real hero doesn't just do things because
that's the way it's awlays been done.

They do what's right,
despite the odds.

And the real treasure in life
are the people we care about

HOPE: I like you're report

DONIPHAN: And those who
care about us.

DONIPHAN: Thank you!

JACKSON: For what?

DONIPHAN: For the greatest
adventure of my life!

And also the Jackson Five.

JACKSON: Dude that was
like so last century...

How about, the fantastic four.

HOPE: No we should definitely
go with flower power!

PIPPIN: I think it should
be Pippy Pals

CRICKET: What about the
Cricket Rangers!

DONIPHAN: Or how about none of
those, and we go with... The Goonies!

BILLY: Guys...

Guys!

GUYS!!!!!!!
