Makes sense.

He's the original Vernian in the family...

...he's been looking for the island half his life

and nobody's heard from him in two years.

- I think he's in trouble. I'm gonna find him.

- Sean, stop. Sean.

Stop!

I'm not letting you go on a rescue mission

by yourself. Whether you like it or not...

...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 is bigger than you.

Apparently the message

was sent by his grandfather.

Sean said he's been missing

for a couple years.

It's hard to be missing

if you were never around.

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 a man that wasn't there

when his family needed him the most.

That's why we need to let Sean...

...go on this trip.

- Why?

Sean needs a man in his life.

Somebody who'll be there for him

and connect with him.

We were cracking that code,

that was the first time...

...that we were on the same page.

Then bond with him on some

non-mysterious island, like Hawaii.

Ah, Hawaii. Our honeymoon.

Aloha oe

Yes, but I'm serious, babe.

I'm serious too.

We'll fly down to Palau.

When Sean realizes the island's not real,

his grandfather's not there...

...I'll be there to cushion the blow,

and done will be done.

Good morning, buddy. 0700 hours.

I'm busy.

I don't think you're gonna be

too busy for this.

I'm going to Palau?

Ha, ha. Close.

We're going to Palau.

What?

I know you've won

the esteemed Rochefort Award...

...but I've been on these adventures before

so let me handle this.

Easy, buddy. Just remember

who's financing this whole trip.

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.

Big man's afraid of a little lizard?

Big man's not afraid.

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.

- I got this.

You... You take us on boat.

On water.

You wanna charter a boat?

The official language of Palau?

English.

Thank you.

Uh, 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!
