- Never found.

- Yeah, we were gonna sneak away,

go up the river, all Huck Finn,

Apocalypse Now style.

Get the loot.

I bet you we spent half our childhood

planning that trip.

It's all Billy ever talked about.

- Let's open it up.

- We have to break the lock.

- Oh, I'll break it.

- 38-24-36.

- How did he know that?

- How do you possibly remember that?

Miss 1981, Julie McDonald.

Had a passion for cycling.

Disliked liars.

You're right.

- What the?

- Do you believe it?

Man! Look at that.

The oath...

"We swear that these things

will remain in this box

until we find D.B. Cooper's treasure. "

Signed, a bunch of kids.

Remember we pricked our fingers,

took a blood oath?

Dan, what's that next to

your signature? That's not blood.

It was earwax.

I was afraid of needles.

Should we check out the priceless

treasures of our youth?

C-3PO.

- I wonder who put that in.

- Let me see. That's a collectible now.

- Yeah, right.

- My Brian Bosworth rookie card.

- The Boz.

- Man, I thought he was gonna be

the greatest ever.

"I've been in that box

a very long time. "

Well, you're free now.

And, Tom, I believe this

is your contribution.

Oh, my God.

That's my first rubber.

Boy...

I found this in my dad's pickup

right before he went to jail.

I remember he caught me with it.

Boy, he smacked me

right in the head.

What a charming

father-and-son tale.

He was funny.

- Hey, what did Billy put in there?

- Yeah, what does he got?

His Indy compass.

I gave this to him before he took off

on his trip. He must've...

I don't know, he must've put it back.

Look at this. It's one of our mix tapes.

Remember we did the DJ intros?

Yeah, let's not Wang Chung tonight.

Burn that.

You guys, check out this map.

- Looks like Billy left us a treasure map.

- Look at that.

- Not only that...

- This map looks new.

He plotted out the whole trip.

Billy thought D.B. Landed right here.

There's no way he did this as a kid.

He must've been adding to the box

over the years.

This is the camping trip

he wanted us to take last summer.

I couldn't go.

I was detained in Mexico.

And he wouldn't do it

unless we were all together.

I swear to God, I think he figured it out.

I mean, look at all this research.

He reconstructed the jump.

He pinpointed D.B.'s landing.

That's crazy.

My God...

I'm sorry, you guys,

we made an oath.

It all goes back in the box.

It all goes back in the box

until we find the treasure.

So let's go find it.

Let's... Let's take Billy's trip.

- Come on, guys, what do you say?

- I say, "Hell, yes. "

- Hell, yes! Right?

- We'll get a canoe.

- Right?

- No.

No.

No, I'm...

- No.

- We're all going.

- Listen, I wanna get a lot of rope.
