Love Hunt, The (2023)

[bunniefuu]

(film reel rolling)

(mysterious music)

(bright upbeat music)

(upbeat orchestral music)

It's a win-win,

and you'll be reunited with

your daughter back east,

and I'll make sure that

your treasured home

gets the buyer who appreciates

what a rare gem this is.

Thank you, have a nice day.

You too.

You know, I think...

Let's go with the penthouse.

Okay.

(cell phone buzzing)

Excuse me.

Meg, honey.

Where are you?

Beverly Hills.

The Aspen Wall mansion?

Mm-hm, we got the listing.

You are relentless.

You've been on the hunt for that

since before you even met me.

Hm, it's hereditary.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know, your family's treasure

hunters. Blah, blah, blah.

[Meg] How's it

going over there?

Well, Ms. Oswald is here

and she wants to sign

on the penthouse.

Don't you dare

let that happen.

She doesn't want a big house.

I'll convince her.

There'll be a bigger commission.

(Royce sighs)

Fine, I can buy you

an hour, but hurry.

Perfect.

(bright upbeat music)

I'll admit, I've

always loved this house,

but I never thought Babs

would put it on the market,

so I just forgot about it.

Well just because

something is forgotten

doesn't mean it's not

worth finding again.

You know, the penthouse

apartment is nice,

but a property like

this, so much space.

So many rooms for children

and grandchildren.

I can hear it now.

The pitter-patter of

all those little feet

on the vintage oak floors.

I like the sound of that.

Let me call my accountants. I

think we can make this work.

Amazing.

(Meg chuckles)

I will write that offer

up for you right away.

Thank you. Look forward

to talking to you.

Of course. After you.

(bright upbeat music)

Babe, you are amazing.

I know.

Couple more

commissions like that,

we're gonna be

partners in no time.

Just think, maybe we

should start looking

for that property that the

partners want for their resort.

(Meg chuckles)

Come on, it'd be

champagne, penthouses

and ski trips for us.

I don't know if a

penthouse is for me.

I always thought

something like this.

A little bit more homey.

Babe, home is where

you put your stuff

between the office

and the golf course.

(Meg scoffs)

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello.

(melancholy music)

Um, thank you for

letting me know.

What's up?

I...

I have to go.

Well, what happened?

Are you okay?

(melancholy music)

100K, baby.

(gentle orchestral music)

(Meg gasps)

(tires squealing)

Whoa, watch it.

Why don't you watch

where you're...

What?

No harm, no foul, right?

Yeah, luckily. Hate to be

stuck here waiting for AAA.

Lakewood's not so bad.

I could show you

around if you want.

No need. I grew up here.

Oh.

Oh, you must be here

for the Tomato Toss.

Mm. Rather go to jury duty.

Wow, you are

pretty judgemental

for somebody who

hasn't apologized yet

for almost hitting

me with her car.

Who d*ed and made you grumpy?

My father.

If you'll excuse me.

(car starts up)

(gentle orchestral music)

(door bell chimes)

Coffee, please.

Meg? Oh my gosh, is that you?

Sarah.

Hi.

Oh my gosh. Look at

you with that LA glow.

Oh my goodness, I

haven't seen you

since you stormed outta a lake

with like a bat outta heck.

Seems like just yesterday

I was sneaking you waffles

outta the back of this

place and now it's all mine.

Hm.

(Sarah sighs)

Oh, I'll have that to go.

Oh.

Okay.

I know it seems pretty

quiet in here now,

but you should see this

place at breakfast.

These farmers can put away

an alarming amount of

pancakes. (chuckles)

Gary says sometimes I flip

'em in my sleep. (chuckles)

Gary?

Yeah, my husband.

Wait, Gary, Gary

from high school?

Very same.

I know, high school sweethearts

to Lakewood power couple.

He runs the hardware

store in town.

Wow.

You have got to

come by for dinner

to meet our daughter Kimmy.

She is amazing.

She's got dreams as

big as a mountain,

attention span as

deep as a puddle.

Sarah, when

you've got a second,

can I grab a refill?

In a second, Kyle.

Oh, I'm not staying long.

Have to just meet with

my father's lawyer.

Oh, right. God, listen

to me babbling on.

I was so sorry to

hear about Frank.

How are you doing?

Oh, um, fine, thanks.

We weren't that close.

Right.

Well, he will really

be missed around here.

He was a real gem, your pop.

I could just grab

a coffee pot myself.

In a second, Kyle.

I am reuniting with my

oldest friend, okay?

Learn a little patience and

you might go far in life.

I'm a doctor.

(Sarah scoffs)

Some people are so oblivious.

Sarah, it was lovely

running into you.

Oh, right. Oh, you gotta go.

I know, but hold on one second.

Call me anytime, day or night.

I appreciate that.

Thanks.

[Kyle] Sarah.

Coming, Kyle.

(gentle orchestral music)

Megan.

Good to see you again.

Oh, Don, you too.

Ah, sorry, I had to

drag you all the way out

to settle the estate.

Mm, it's okay.

It's good to be back here again.

Mm, well, it was one

of Frank's conditions

that we do this here.

- Typical dad.

- Mm.

Wait. One of his conditions?

(soft upbeat music)

[Don] Did you know your

dad was in the process

of turning the house

into an exhibit?

No, we hadn't

talked in a while.

Hm.

Frank was particularly

proud of his local finds.

He wanted to create a museum

that was a tribute to Lakewood.

Are you sure it

wasn't a tribute

to Frank the incredible

explorer extraordinaire?

Here it is.

It being?

Your father's final

wishes all encased

in the hidden compartment

in his treasured desk.

The presentation was

all a part of it, sorry.

Frank loved a bit of drama.

(Meg and Don chuckle)

(mysterious music)

First, his last

will and testament,

a copy of which he

entrusted with me

for safekeeping in a vault.

Second, Frank's personal diary.

And last but not least,

the centerpiece of

your father's legacy.

The one prize that alluded him.

The reason he moved to

Lakewood in the first place.

The map to the long lost

treasure of Lakewood.

That old thing.

My dad used to stare

at that for hours.

Yeah, your father wanted

to leave his collection

with someone who

would care for it

and share it with the world.

He wanted that

someone to be you.

Why do I sense a gigantic but?

But you wanted to make sure

you were the right person,

so he left you a task.

Use this map to find the

treasure of Lakewood,

the one puzzle he

could never solve.

You do this, you

inherit everything.

The house, the land,

the whole sha-bang.

Great. So he left me

with an impossible task.

What happens if I don't

wanna jump through his hoops?

The whole thing gets handed

over to a trust he set up

and they'll install

their own curator.

Is there a a deadline?

Two weeks, and then the

curator position goes to a vote.

So he left me two

weeks to solve a mystery

that has baffled him

for decades? (scoffs)

And people wonder why our

relationship was so complicated.

I'm just the messenger.

Do you do a lot of treasure

hunt will readings, Don?

Well, this is my first.

Your father, he

was a dear friend,

but he sure could be exhausting.

(Meg chuckles)

(gentle orchestral music)

(Royce scoffs)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're telling me that

you get all that land?

Yeah, I guess.

Babe, I'm just

throwing this out there,

but if you can

get all that land,

it's the perfect

spot for the resort.

What, you mean the

partners' dream project?

Yes.

They've been looking for

a perfect spot for years

and if we could

deliver that to them.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, just because this place

holds a lot of bad memories

doesn't mean I wanna

see it get turned

into Disneyland Minnesota.

Babe, it's like I was

saying the other day.

Something like this

is career rocket fuel.

It would sh**t us

straight to the top.

We'd be able to pick

whatever office we want,

whatever project we want.

We'd be able to start

building our dream home.

Okay, I'll give it one sh*t.

But even if I find anything,

I'm not making any

promises, okay?

Let's just collect all the

cards before we fold, okay?

All right.

Let's find some treasure.

Let's find some treasure.

(fabric rustling)

(upbeat mysterious music)

(Meg grunts)

[Tom] Not big

reader in LA, are ya?

Hello?

You talking to a scarecrow?

(Meg gasps)

(Meg sighs)

Looks like that hurt.

Oh.

You again.

[Tom] If only there was a sign

telling you how to keep out.

Yeah, well. What are

you doing up high again?

I'm getting a bird's

eye view of the scarecrow

to see if it works,

which clearly it doesn't.

Okay, look, I lost my

dad a couple years ago,

so I'm sorry about earlier.

But what are you

doing here on my land?

We got off on the wrong

foot. How about we start over?

I'm Meg Davis.

I'm Tom.

You might have

known my father Frank.

He fancied himself

something of an explorer.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I caught him stiffing

around a few times.

Hence the sign.

Yeah, I can explain that.

He came across this map.

Supposedly it leads to

Lakewood's long lost treasure?

Became obsessed hunting it down.

On my land?

No. I'm not that lucky.

Besides, what's that

gotta do with you?

He left me in sort

of a tricky position.

In order to inherit his estate,

I must find this

so-called treasure.

Well, look, it's getting late

and I don't really have time

for a wild goose chase, so.

Yeah, that wasn't

an invitation.

Take my word.

Inheritances aren't always

all they're cracked up to be.

Well, can I at

least look around?

Everything you need

to know is on that sign.

You might wanna wash that shoe.

There's a chance that that

mud you stepped in ain't mud.

(Meg scoffs)

(upbeat music)

(Meg grumbling)

(bath water running)

(upbeat music)

Look at you.

Not even good

enough for ketchup.

(tomato thuds)

Come on, boys.

This is our last sh*t and

you're letting me down.

Ah, you might wanna

give 'em a break.

And yourself.

I don't know what

dad's secret was, mom.

I don't have the touch.

Ugh, that new fertilizer's

not working out for you then?

No.

And for what we paid for it,

we ought to be fighting

off tomato monsters by now.

(June chuckles)

Well...

Ugh, yeah, I'd say you

get an early night.

Things always look

better in the morning.

(insects buzzing)

Antique mayonnaise.

Gross.

(Meg sighs)

Restaurants near me.

Closed,

closed,

closed.

Open.

About an hour away.

(Meg sighs)

Daddy really did drag

us out to the boonies.

Hey, Sarah, it's Meg.

Does your diner deliver?

(gentle orchestral music)

(Tom sighs)

Some family motto.

More like a curse.

(gentle orchestral music)

(doorbell rings)

(insects buzzing)

(Tom yells)

(Meg screams)

(Tom laughing)

Ugh.

(Tom laughs)

Did you drag that all

the way from the field

just to scare me?

Yes, I did. And it

was totally worth it.

So I was thinking, this

treasure you're looking for,

is it valuable?

It can be.

Okay, so let's make a deal.

You and I go hunting

for it together

and whatever we

find, we split 50/50.

(Meg scoffs)

It's my map.

It's my land.

Deal, but the scarecrow

stays in the car.

Sarah.

Hi.

Oh, you are a lifesaver.

Oh, just being neighborly.

- Hi, Tom.

- Hey.

I didn't know you

two knew each other.

So you're saying dinner, huh?

No, no, no, I was

just on my way out.

Nonsense, there's plenty.

Come on, help me heat this up.

The others are

bringing in the rest.

Go on.

The...

The others?

Uh...

Gary, hi.

Hi, Meg.

Great to see you.

This is Kimmy.

Mom says you live

in Los Angeles.

(gasps) Do you know Lady Gaga?

I did show her a house once.

Sarah?

Kimmy.

It's been a while.

How is school?

School's boring. I'm

thinking about quitting.

You're not quitting school.

But I'm already so smart.

(Meg laughs)

So Tom, how's your mom?

She's good.

You know her back

kind of bothers her,

but she doesn't

like to complain.

And the farm?

Think you'll have

the tomatoes ready

for the annual Tomato Toss?

Yes, you betcha.

Yeah.

(Sarah sighs)

I'll tell you, Meg, this

place hasn't changed a bit.

My dad liked to

preserve history.

I don't know

what to say, Sarah.

This is incredible.

(Sarah sighs)

You know I'm always

happy for an excuse

to make anything other

than burgers and waffles.

So let's dig in.

Is it true in Los Angeles

everybody works in the movies?

Not really. (chuckles)

Do you have a star on that

Hollywood celebrity street?

- No, but-

- Let her eat in peace, Kimmy.

No, you know what?

Actually, I kind of want

to hear this answer.

I do have a door mat

with my name on it.

Cool.

(Meg chuckles)

Oh, no thank you.

I'm a vegetarian.

Oh.

Yeah, me too.

(gentle orchestral music)

Thanks.

(Meg chuckles)

(gentle orchestral music)

So, meet at the

forest first thing?

I'll be there.

And make sure you wear something

a little bit more appropriate.

Excuse me?

Your shoes.

The city heels ain't gonna

cut it in the mountains.

See you there.

Well, best of luck with

the treasure hunt tomorrow.

Mm.

I half wish it gets

turned into a dud,

then I don't have to deal

with Tom for much longer.

Well, I know quite

a few ladies in town

that wouldn't mind

dealing with Tom.

And on that note.

Goodnight, Meg.

But I still have

more questions.

[Sarah] Kimmy.

- Goodnight, Kimmy.

- Goodnight.

(Meg chuckles)

(Meg sighs)

(gentle orchestral music)

You see that?

That's what a good

dad looks like.

And a dad who's obsessed

with treasure hunting

makes his daughter go

on a wild goose chase

to claim her inheritance.

(Meg scoffs)

You want me to read this journal

so I can tell the whole world

how great you are, right?

(journal thuds)

Night, dad.

(gentle orchestral music)

(birds chirping)

(gentle orchestral music)

(gentle orchestral

music continues)

Hi there.

Hey. I'm June, Tom's mom.

And you must be

Frank's daughter Meg.

Ah, by DNA only.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Mom, what are you doing?

We gotta get going.

I thought you kids might

like little adventure juice.

(Tom scoffs)

That is very sweet.

Thank you.

Thanks, mom.

You are very welcome.

I just, you know, your

little treasure hunt

reminded me of

when he was a kid,

he'd go on all these adventures.

Remember. you'd always say,

"I need some adventure juice."

Name stuck.

Yeah.

(June chuckles)

What's in it?

It's just lemonade

and orange juice.

And a hint of cinnamon.

Mm, sounds delicious.

I've tasted that before

when I was a kid.

The annual Tomato Toss.

That's right.

Yeah, we serve it

there every year.

And we also supply

all the tomatoes

for the big free for all.

Yeah, we would, if someone

hadn't ruined the crop.

Tom, that's not your fault.

I'm not following.

It's nothing.

Don't worry about it.

We should probably get going.

We've got a lot of

ground to cover.

Love you, mom.

I love you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good luck.

(June chuckles)

(upbeat mysterious music)

[Tom] So, tell

me about this map.

Not much to say. It's

old, it's well preserved.

It was drawn up by somebody

who signed it "ZL."

Dad found it on one

of his excursions.

Supposedly it leads to

Lakewood's long lost treasure,

whatever that is.

And how long was he

looking for this treasure?

Decades. That's

why we moved here.

Uprooted our entire

life to find it.

He became obsessed.

Great, so this should

be a piece of cake.

This way.

You sure?

I was a Girl Scout.

I got this.

(upbeat mysterious music)

Okay, should be right up here.

Ah.

Deja vu.

How long has it been since

your Girl Scouting days?

Not so long that

I've forgotten

how I got my Kn*fe skill badge.

Well, I guess you

don't need a compass

when you take Ubers

everywhere, huh?

(Meg scoffs)

I'd like to see

you navigate the 405.

Okay. I'm taking over.

This needs a fresh eye.

(Tom exhales)

Wait. Wait, this is a trick.

What do you mean?

Here.

See, the path seems right,

but if you're a local,

you know that the

landmarks are reversed.

Heh.

Never give a city girl

a country boy's job.

I think you're

wrong, country boy.

But knock yourself out.

I'm gonna stay right here.

I'm sure I'll see you soon.

- With the treasure.

- Mm-hm.

Have fun.

(upbeat mysterious music)

- Don't.

- Peace offering.

Last of the adventure juice.

Look, this map is obviously

sending us in circles.

We need to pool our resources.

I'm listening.

Let's look at

the map together.

Okay, it's trying to trick us.

Let's just look for

things that are wrong.

Well here.

The instructions say go

north to Eagles Mound

but I know for a fact that

that's south of the path.

Great.

And look at this.

The map says that it's

looking east at dawn,

but those shadows

don't make sense.

Let's just assume that

the time of day is right.

These shadows indicate that

we should be going south.

(Meg chuckles)

Let's go south.

If we got this right, the

X marks the River Lookout.

We used to go here for

picnics when I was a kid.

So we did it.

Right?

Did we do it?

Yeah, I think we did.

It doesn't match.

What?

The river bend, it

doesn't match. Look.

From this vantage point,

we should be able

to see the cave.

Did we do something wrong?

Wait a minute, there

is something else.

(upbeat mysterious music)

(leaves rustling)

[Tom] What is that?

I used to look forward

to seeing this here

when I was a kid.

Thought it was really magical.

Meg, there's a tiny key.

This has to be a hiding place.

Yeah, it is.

When I was little,

my dad would put me on

these treasure hunts

to this garden dweller.

It's where I found this locket.

So what if there's

something underneath?

- Okay, help me move it.

- Okay.

All right.

(Meg and Tom grunting)

(Tom sighs)

It's empty.

Someone got to

it before we did.

Maybe it's just

another dead end.

Wait, wait.

Hey, "FD," initials carved

right here at the base.

Yeah, Frank Davis,

my dad. It makes sense.

He probably put it here

in the first place.

Wait.

Wait. "ZL?"

Hold on.

"ZL," right there on the map.

That has to mean something.

Meaning what? It's

just another loose end?

Help me move it back.

(Meg grunts)

(Meg chuckles)

You know what?

I learned something

very important today.

What's that?

That even during

the good times,

my father just had

a hidden agenda.

How so?

I used to cherish

these picnics here.

But instead of

father-daughter bonding time,

he was just looking for

this stupid treasure.

Well, I think your

father loved you very much.

Whatever.

(gentle orchestral music)

(insects buzzing)

(door bell chimes)

Well hey, you two. Did

you guys find anything?

Only more proof that my dad

is exactly who I thought he was.

I'll get a table.

(Meg sighs)

Well, you're not

gonna give up, are you?

This whole thing

is ridiculous.

I feel like I lost my mind.

But no, I am not a quitter.

Good.

And at least you get to go crazy

around some pretty scenery.

I never, ever see

another tree again,

I'll be happy.

Mm, that's not the

scenery I was talking about.

(Meg scoffs)

I don't know what

you're dogging about.

Hm, then why are you blushing?

Sarah.

(Sarah chuckles)

Please make up your mind.

I would just k*ll for

some cauliflower wings.

Well, unfortunately,

in a small town,

you can't always get

exactly what you want

and when you want it.

But if you try what we do

have, you just might like it.

Hello.

Hi, you guys ready?

I would love a

Juicy Lucy, please.

- Okay.

- Salad it for me.

All right.

And a basket of the deep

fried tater tots for the table.

Coming right up.

Mm.

Man, these are good.

How's your salad?

Crisp and fresh and unlikely

to glue my arteries together.

Hm.

Suit yourself.

I'm gonna hit the restroom.

(upbeat music)

Mm.

Mm.

What uh, what happened here?

A bird ate them.

A bird?

(Meg chuckles)

What she said.

So guys, what's the next step?

Mm, I don't

think there is one.

The map is misleading

on purpose.

It's starting to feel

like a gigantic prank.

Sarah, do you have wifi here?

My reception is

bad in this town.

Yep, code's on the menu, hun.

Hm.

(phone chiming)

I don't know how

you live like that.

I couldn't get a thought

between the beeps.

I like it, it makes

me feel productive.

Productive or just busy?

Why don't you try and cut

yourself off sometime?

I'm not an addict.

That's exactly

what addicts say.

Do yourself a favor and

switch off every now and then.

Give silence a try.

(upbeat music)

(gentle orchestral music)

Hey. (laughs)

I heard you two.

Oh, I take it we aren't exactly

rolling in diamonds yet?

Wild goose chase, Mom.

It's been a long day.

I should go.

No, why don't you

come in for some cake?

I...

It's really good cake.

Sure. Why not?

(June chuckles)

Great.

Thank you.

[June] Mm-hm.

Mm.

(June chuckles)

They do not make cake

like this in Los Angeles.

You ever miss it here?

No.

I mean, it wasn't all bad,

but no, I like my life.

Well, still.

I mean, you won't be ashamed

to say goodbye to that

gorgeous house of yours?

It was my dad's house.

I just lived there.

Besides, we're no closer

to finding of this treasure,

so the house might

not be hers anyway.

- Tom.

- What?

You are no help

with that attitude.

Look, don't mind him.

You get that map out, I'm

gonna grab my cheaters.

All right.

How old is this map?

We don't know.

Why, does that change things?

(June chuckles)

Typical kids don't see

the trees for the forest.

Look, see, these are aspens.

I mean, they haven't grown

in this area for decades.

They cut 'em all down and

replaced 'em with spruce.

Produces more lumber.

Whoever drew this map, I mean

they drew it beautifully,

but it was a long,

long time ago.

So if there was some

sort of geographical shift,

that would explain why

things don't match up.

We gotta go to the

library tomorrow.

What time do they open?

9:00 AM.

Meet me there?

Yeah.

(gentle orchestral music)

(upbeat music)

Untucked is better.

Okay, good, 'cause

I don't know how

to dress for a library.

You look very

library appropriate.

Thank you.

(upbeat mysterious music)

Hey, you two.

- Hey.

- What are you doing here?

Well, Kimmy has

a homework project

and I'm trying to

teach her the value

of using books

instead of Google.

- How's that going?

- Slow.

You know, it can

also be profitable.

Why don't you go

ask the librarian

for all the information

that they have

on the history of Lakewood?

Thank you.

(Meg chuckles)

Did you just bribe a child?

No, I stimulated

the local economy.

Mm.

(Meg chuckles)

As kids, they always warned us

to stay outta the mine shafts.

Hm.

It's strange.

There's accounts of

what the town was like

when it was founded.

The mining times.

But then there's this huge gap,

like something happened

and no one could bring

themselves to write about it.

Did you find something?

Yeah, it's a map of the

land that my farm is on.

There's the farmhouse, there's

the field, there's the creek,

there's this spot that

you trespassed on.

Trespass? I half

climbed a fence.

Yeah, and thank God I

was there to stop you.

Who knows what kind of

trouble you'd have caused?

How long has your

family lived there?

Since the town was founded

over a hundred years ago.

Hm. Quite a legacy.

Yeah.

And it's only taken me two years

to flush it down the drain.

What do you mean?

(Tom sighs)

There was an infestation

three years ago.

Parasites.

They destroyed our crops,

left our land

practically barren.

I think it was the

stress dealing with it

that was the final

straw for my dad.

I'm so sorry.

When I took over,

I was convinced

that I was gonna turn it

around and make him proud.

But whatever I try,

crops fail and we just get

deeper and deeper in the hole.

Mm, and that's why

you need the treasure.

Yeah, without it, I think

Larson's Tomato Farm is over.

You do realize that none

of this is your fault, right?

Yeah, but it doesn't

feel like that.

I have seen you these

past couple of days.

Okay, you care about this

and you're doing everything

that you can to fix it.

No one expects more than that.

I appreciate that.

(Meg chuckles)

You know, for a snooty big

city girl, you're not so bad.

(Meg chuckles)

And for a tree climbing

scarecrow loving country boy,

you could be worse.

(gentle orchestral music)

Okay, we need to focus.

We need to fill in the gaps

of what happened to the mines.

Yeah, but if there's no

information here, then where?

Do you ever realize that

what you've been looking for

has been under your

nose the entire time?

What, your dad?

My dad.

(gentle orchestral music)

(birds chirping)

Who's driving the Tool-Mobile?

I don't know. Maybe

somebody from my dad's estate?

Want me to get him to leave?

Leave?

What do you mean?

Just got here.

Royce, what are

you doing here?

I came to help with

the treasure hunt.

Tried to call, but none of

my calls seem to go through.

Yeah, signal's very sketchy.

Mm.

Oh, um, Tom, this is

my boyfriend, Royce.

Royce, this is Tom.

Ah. Meg said she had a

run in with the locals.

I didn't say it like that.

But this is great.

I mean, even better

than I imagined.

Put the chalets over there,

tennis courts down there,

golf course went over there.

This is great.

- What do you mean?

- Oh, she didn't tell you?

Well, when we win the property,

we're gonna let our bosses

turn it into a luxury resort.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

In a year's time, Lakewood's

gonna be the hotspot

for city folk looking

to take a load off.

Oh, won't that be

a lovely surprise

for the people

people of Lakewood?

- Won't it?

- Yeah.

That way you don't ever

have to come back here again.

(Royce chuckles)

(gentle orchestral music)

You comin'?

Ooh, gorgeous.

This place is like an

exhibit in a museum.

[Meg] My father

curated these artifacts

from all over the world.

Some of them are

from this area.

Never really liked museums.

No, always kind of

found 'em to be a bore.

Anyone find anything?

Well, here's a statue

of a couple coal miners.

That's interesting.

Tell you what's

interesting. This view.

It's gonna be incredible

when we level this place

and build a resort.

The golf course is gonna

look amazing from up here.

Anything?

Yeah, look at this.

Larson and Nelson.

This Larson guy

must be my ancestor.

I've never seen this.

I don't know how or where

your dad unearthed it.

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello?

Meg, hi.

It's Don.

I'm afraid I got some news.

(Meg sighs)

I've got some news

is never good news.

I was trying to make sure

that Frank's will was concrete

and I was reviewing

the trust bylaws

and the thing is, well...

Come on, Don. We're

on the clock here.

That's the thing.

I hate to tell you this,

but according to the bylaws,

the clock didn't start

when you received the map.

When did it start?

When Frank d*ed.

Oh, perfect.

So instead of two

full weeks, we have-

- You only have three days left.

Three days?

I wanted to tell you

as soon as I found out.

If you haven't

found the treasure

by the time the vote occurs,

I'm afraid there's

nothing I can do.

I just wish you would've

figured this out sooner.

(Don sighs)

Sorry, Meg.

Me too. Bye.

Judging by the

looks on your faces,

you got the gist of that.

So what now?

We need more eyes.

None of this means

much to any of us,

but to the people of this town,

maybe there's a connection

that we're not seeing.

So what do we do?

Go door to door with

photos of the artifacts.

Or we bring them to us.

Exactly.

We pop some bottles of champagne,

put out some charcuterie.

Maybe play some music.

I don't get it.

Oh, Tim.

Tom.

You are in for a pleasant

surprise, my friend.

You're about to experience

one of Royce and Meg's

famous open houses.

(Meg chuckles)

(upbeat music)

(gentle orchestral music)

Not bad for a half day's

notice if I do say so myself.

Oh well, we make a pretty

great team, don't we?

(glasses clink)

Hi, you two.

Hey.

This place looks amazing.

Yeah, it's um, it's all right.

Is it, Tim?

It's Tom.

Well, I better

go make the rounds.

You should as well, hon.

Wish us luck.

Okay, I'm gonna take small

groups of people upstairs

to go look at the museum.

Just keep a listen down here

and enjoy the food and champagne

and more importantly, have fun.

Okay. You have fun, too.

Or, um...

(Tom sighs)

(people chattering)

Oh.

Mm.

(Tom mumbles)

Ooh.

Okay.

Meg and Royce put

on quite the show.

Yeah, it must be

easy to throw a party

when money's no object

and you wanna show people

you're better than them.

This place is amazing.

I never knew Lakewood

had such a rich history.

We should make coming here

a part of the annual

Tomato Toss Festival.

- Yeah.

- Oh.

Enjoy it while you can,

'cause pretty soon this is

gonna be one giant golf course.

Oh, great. I love golf.

Shut up, Kyle.

You know, I really must

say it's kind of great

to see all of Frank's hard

work on display like this.

Yeah, turns out he wasn't

completely useless after all.

You know, Meg, I know you

had your struggles with him,

but over the last few years,

he became a really

important part of this town.

People liked talking to him.

He made people feel like

their history mattered.

Yeah, it's not as

noble as it sounds.

He probably was just looking

for clues on that treasure.

Maybe.

But just look at how much

care he put into this exhibit.

Just with a little attention,

this could really become

a local attraction.

Kimmy, don't touch that.

Hey.

Hey.

Having a good time?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great.

Can we talk?

Yeah, what's up?

In private?

Oh, okay.

Look, this is your house.

You can do whatever

you want with it, but-

- But? But what?

What do you mean?

If we find this treasure,

are you really gonna let Royce

turn this into a playground

for the rich and famous?

Look, I don't know.

My feelings about this

place are complicated.

Take this locket, for example.

It used to remind me of my dad

and then it reminded me that

he was gone most of the time.

I get that this place is

special for everyone else,

but for me it was a

lot of lonely nights.

But you are really

gonna give this all up

just to get back at him?

It's not about him.

He's gone.

Okay, Royce was right.

The past is an anchor and

if I wanna move forward,

if I want my career to flourish,

I need to start

looking to the future.

You're sure.

(Meg sighs)

Meg, Tim.

Still Tom.

Right.

We got a bite.

(soft mysterious music)

See, Larson and Nelson.

The Nelson guy must have been

old Wyatt Nelson's ancestor.

If anyone remembers anything

about the mines back

then, it'll be him.

(Meg exhales)

Great job, Kyle.

(soft mysterious music)

(birds chirping)

This looks like the place.

This guy.

Looks like he's preserved

in coal dust and moonshine.

Sure there's not a

shotgun up there?

All righty then.

Hey, you're a local.

I'm sure he'd prefer to

hear from a familiar face.

Good morning, sir.

Wherever it is,

I don't want none.

Nothing good ever arrives

in a car that fancy.

(Royce scoffs)

Let's just go.

Mr. Nelson, I'm Tom Larson.

You might know my dad, Adam.

He used to bring you

supplies every now and then.

I remember Adam Larson.

He was good people.

Well, this is Meg.

Her father was Frank Davis.

Oh, I know Frank Davis, too.

Hm, doesn't sound

like he's a fan.

Mr. Nelson, we just

wanna ask a few questions

about Lakewood and what

happened to the mines.

(Wyatt sighs)

Fine but that's

only 'cause your daddy

was good to me, Larson.

We're actually here about

the treasure of Lakewood.

Not that I think

it actually exists,

but you gotta try, right?

Is there anything

you can tell us

about the mines, the mountains?

I'll tell you if you shut up.

It's not a long story as

my daddy remembered it.

Lakewood in the early days

weren't much of a town.

Things were peaceful until

somebody dug up a gigantic ruby.

It don't take much to

light a spark of greed

when the people don't have much,

and with a rock like that, well,

the fighting started

almost immediately.

And who won?

No one wins a

fight like that, son.

When the dust settled,

the ruby was gone.

There's always suspicions

that one of the town

founders, Zach Larson.

Yes, Tom, your kin, had took it,

but it never resurfaced

again while he was alive.

What happened to the mines?

All I know is it's been

abandoned for decades.

There was a terrible accident.

They breached a hidden cave

and the side of the mountain

just caved in on itself,

taking the miners with it.

That's why your

map doesn't line up.

They blew up the

freaking mountain.

It was a dark time

for the community.

The survivors banded

together and they rebuilt

and focused on farming instead

of mining and fighting.

That fight, is that

what the festival's about,

with the tomato battle?

It was meant to be a way

to let bygones be bygones,

to turn a tragic accident

into a celebration.

People don't like to

dwell on the hard times.

That's very

important to remember.

Sorry, I can't be more of help

in your little treasure huntin'.

Yeah.

Got something to say, son?

You know, it just feels like

you're holding out

on us a little bit,

like you know a little more

than what you're saying.

What if I did?

(Royce chuckles)

I know how this

game is played.

- Royce.

- No, no, no, it's okay.

It's business.

Not gonna get something

for nothing, am I right?

Anything else you can remember?

You'll pay me $100 to tell you

whether I know

something else or not?

Well do ya?

See, I told you.

Now let's hear it.

The answer to

your question is...

Is? We're waitin'.

It's simple.

Uh?

I don't know anything

else. Scout's honor.

Y'all have a nice day.

(Tom chuckles)

(Meg laughs)

(cars passing)

Hey kiddo. What you got there?

Math.

Yeah? You need some help?

Well hey Meg,

how was Nelson's?

Charming. I got his

decorator's number.

(Sarah laughs)

So no luck, huh?

Another in a

series of dead ends,

and I'm afraid this

might be our final one.

I'm sorry, Meg.

Hey, pie's on me.

Hey Meg.

Guess what?

I'm gonna go to

LA just like you.

Oh, really?

(Royce scoffs)

(Royce groans)

Do you mind telling

me about this later?

Well, unfortunately,

I don't think there's

anything edible here.

Ooh, you should

try the tater tots.

They are delicious.

Yeah, birds like 'em too.

(Meg chuckles)

Yeah, I think I'm

just gonna wait to eat.

All right, y'all ready?

Yes, salad for me, tater

tots and coffee for the table

and burgers for

the boys, please.

Actually, do you have anything

a little less fried back there?

Royce.

Sorry about him. Sarah.

It's been a long day.

You know what? I don't think

this is my kind of place.

Sorry.

Royce.

(door bell chimes)

Where are you going?

There is a country

club not far from here

with a golf course and sushi.

I need civilization.

Why are you

being so hotheaded?

Why are you and your

farmer friend so chummy?

What? What are you implying?

Do you need to tell

me something, Meg?

No, of course not.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You know, you always

said your dad spent

as little time here as possible.

I'm starting to see why.

(car starts up)

(Meg sighs)

What's his problem?

There's a lot riding

on this for both of us.

Yeah.

I guess country life's

not really for everybody.

Maybe he needs a spa day or

a massage or a mani pedi.

I know somebody who

makes organic moisturizer

in case his hands get

a little too rough.

You do realize

that you're talking

about my boyfriend, right?

Yeah, I know, but you

gotta admit, it's a bit much.

Look, I know he can be a lot.

But he did come all

this way to help me.

He's very passionate

about our future.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

I should get going.

My mom's expecting me.

(Meg scoffs)

(upbeat country music)

Gross.

(Meg chuckles)

I think boys are dumb.

Agreed.

(gentle orchestral music)

(birds chirping)

(knocking on door)

Meg, hey. What

are you doing here?

I was looking for Tom.

Probably not gonna be

here for much longer.

I wanted to thank

him for his help.

Yeah, he came home in a

bit of a mood last night.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

He left pretty quickly

last night, but...

Meg, you know Tom, he

likes to joke around a lot,

but he's always a little on edge

around the annual Tomato Toss.

Why?

Well...

See the Tomato Toss,

it was always his daddy's

proudest moment of the year.

You take a big haul of

tomatoes down to the recreation

and since the farm's

been struggling,

we haven't been

able to contribute

and I'm afraid that Tom, he

sees it as a personal failing.

I'd like to patch things up.

Do you know where

I can find him?

How do you feel

about climbing trees?

(Meg chuckles)

(soft upbeat orchestral music)

I'm coming up.

What's up, Peter Pan?

Where are your Lost Boys?

What are you doing here?

Probably gonna be

heading out soon.

Yeah.

Need to get back to work?

And Royce?

I'm sorry about the treasure.

Is your farm gonna be okay?

Yeah. We'll figure it out.

Sorry for you, though.

We didn't find anything.

Yeah, well just 'cause

we didn't find anything

doesn't mean it was all bad.

Yeah, it was kind of fun.

Okay. (chuckles)

It was interesting seeing

the other Meg yesterday.

Other Meg?

Yeah. Business Meg.

The Meg you become

with Royce. City Meg.

Maybe that's the real Meg.

That's a shame 'cause

country Meg's a lot more fun.

If you're gonna be

like this, I can just go.

I'm sorry.

You know, maybe it's

just confusing for you

to meet someone whose life is

a little bit more complicated

than hanging out in

tree houses all day.

I don't think your

life's that complicated.

You just do whatever it takes

to get the next big

payday the fastest.

Simple.

Is this about the resort?

I still haven't decided if I'm

gonna sell the estate or not.

Besides, it's none

of your business.

Okay, it's my dad,

my estate, my career.

My, my, my.

Wow, do they teach

self-centeredness

in year one of business

school or year two?

- Shut up, Tom.

- Did you major in it?

Okay, look, you idiot.

Is that?

Cave?

Cave.

Okay, we passed the

petrified stump.

There's the overhanging ledge.

Must be just around here.

Oh, yes.

We did it.

You did it.

Guess there's still some country

left in you after all, huh?

(Meg chuckles)

Here, help me.

Tom, look.

"My arms hold up a stony sky,

my muscles stiff as boards.

Amid the rubble at my feet,

you'll find my hidden hoard."

How did we miss that?

What does that mean?

Stony sky?

Could it be the

roof of the cave?

Muscles stiff as boards.

It's gotta be the supports.

Let's go take a look.

Yeah.

(soft mysterious music)

Tom!

[Tom] "ZL". Zach Larson.

(Meg gasps)

This must be the one.

(rocks clattering)

(Meg chuckles)

I can't believe it.

(Tom chuckles)

(soft mysterious music)

Here.

A journal.

[Tom] A journal? What

happened to the giant ruby?

Unbelievable.

It's Zach Larson's accounts

of founding the town.

It's an incredible

historical find.

You should be thrilled.

It's written by one

of your ancestors.

This could be the

Declaration of Independence.

It doesn't matter. It's not

gonna help me save my farm.

This was my last hope.

I'm sorry, Tom.

Where are you going?

I gotta go do some thinking.

I, I'll see you later.

(Meg scoffs)

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello?

Meg, Kimmy's not

with you, is she?

No, I haven't seen her

all day. Is everything okay?

She didn't turn

up for school today.

A bunch of her

clothes are missing.

We think that she ran away.

I don't know what to do.

I'll come get you.

(tense dramatic music)

Gary's off checking all

Kimmy's favorite spots

and I've just been waiting

here until she comes back.

Oh, Sarah. Sarah, slow down.

It's almost nightfall.

I don't know what to do.

I'm sure she's gonna be fine.

Did she leave some sort of note?

Just this.

"Off to live

somewhere more exciting.

Back for Christmas probs."

Oh, boy.

I think I have an idea.

Come on.

(tense dramatic music)

[Sarah] Kimmy.

Thank God.

Mom.

Don't you ever run off

like that again on me,

do you understand?

What were you thinking?

I heard Meg was

going back to LA

and I wanted to go with her.

Mind if I talk to her?

(gentle orchestral music)

So, why do you wanna move to LA?

It's boring here.

They are just trees and mountains

and nothing ever happens.

I know that the city

can seem exciting,

but Lakewood might surprise you.

I mean just this week

I made new friends,

I threw a party,

explored a cave.

Ooh, where's the cave?

(Meg chuckles)

I'll tell you

about that later.

What I'm trying to say is

that there's still a lot

that this town has to offer.

I suppose.

If you promise to

not give your mom

any more heart att*cks,

I promise I'll let you

come visit me in LA.

[Kimmy] You swear?

[Meg] I swear. (chuckles)

[Royce] Sorry to interrupt

girls night, ladies.

I need to speak to

Meg privately, though.

I have to take

Sarah and Kimmy home.

No worries.

I texted Gary. He's

on his way to get us.

Perfect.

Shall we?

- You sure?

- Yeah, go ahead.

Thanks.

Oh.

So what is this all about?

All right, I've been thinking.

We have had some setbacks,

but I have a new foolproof plan

on how we're gonna

get the estate.

I'm listening.

We sue the trust.

(Meg scoffs)

Come on.

All this treasure hunt

mumbo jumbo can't be legal.

We get a couple high

powered attorneys on it,

they'll file some injunctions

on all sorts of technicalities.

Royce.

What?

What's that?

The treasure of Lakewood.

Okay, but it's a book?

You're sure?

Pretty sure.

You're telling me

this means we win?

Yeah, I guess so. Maybe.

All right, then well I'll

start making some calls

and we'll have this place

down to the studs in a week.

I'm not selling.

Of course you're

selling. It's our future.

No, it's not.

Not anymore.

Meg, you're kidding me.

Don't tell me you

wanna hang around here

showing off your dad's old junk.

(Meg scoffs)

Okay, that came,

that came out wrong.

This old house is

getting to us, okay?

Why don't we go to

the country club,

relax at the spa and

we'll talk about this

when we've cooled off.

I'm gonna stay

here, thank you.

(Royce scoffs)

All right, but

I'm not giving up.

Not when we're this close.

(Meg scoffs)

(journal thuds)

(Tom sighs)

(gentle orchestral music)

I'm sorry, mom.

About what?

Letting you down.

No, you haven't failed

me or anybody else.

This family's about a lot more

than a couple of tomatoes

or a plot of land.

It's love.

No matter what happens to the

farm, we'll always have that.

Yeah, love doesn't

pay the bills.

Honey, something will come up.

We just have to be patient.

(gentle orchestral music)

(Royce sighs)

(soft mysterious music)

(Royce clears throat)

Tom.

Royce.

What's up?

(gentle orchestral music)

(knocking on door)

(Meg yells)

(Meg laughs)

Pay back.

What are you doing here?

I brought you this journal.

It belongs to your family.

It must be so easy to

just change your mind

about what is or

isn't important.

You know, some of us actually

have to make hard decisions.

What do you mean?

The offer on my dad's

farm. Royce just called.

You're selling to Royce?

You know what?

Go back to LA and

enjoy your bonus

or your promotion or whatever.

I'm so glad I could help you

add a zero to your paycheck.

Goodbye, Meg.

(Tom sighs)

(upbeat music)

Meg.

We did it.

We got the resort.

How could you?

How could I

what? Save the day?

You had no right to meddle

into Tom's life like that.

Slow down, okay.

I did this for us.

And you get the

best of both worlds.

You get your house and you

get your job and he gets paid.

Win, win, win, win, win.

You always do this.

You act in your own interest

and you pretend like

it's what we both wanted.

You should have asked me first.

Look, I'm sorry,

but it's a done deal.

June comes tomorrow

to sign the paperwork

and then I'm off to the Alps.

With or without you, sweetheart.

Definitely without me.

We're done.

Oh, Meg.

Come on, you're breaking

up with me? Don't be silly.

No, sticking in a relationship

that doesn't work

is being silly.

I'm choosing to be smart.

Goodbye, Royce.

Oh, and by the way,

you're a terrible skier.

Almost as bad as

you are at golf.

(door closes)

(upbeat music)

Rude.

(insects buzzing)

(melancholy music)

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello.

Meg, it's Don.

Just called to see

how things were going.

Oh yeah, we we

actually found it.

You found the treasure?

Yeah, it was a journal

that belonged to

one of the founders.

Well that's fantastic.

But your tone does not

sound like it's fantastic.

I just, I'm just thinking

about what it all means.

Well, it's up to you.

You can stick around

or the board can vote

to appoint a new custodian.

What do you wanna do?

Um...

(upbeat music)

(people chattering)

(upbeat music)

You heard from Royce?

I did, he said the

contract is ready to sign.

I'm gonna meet him on

the library steps at noon

to do the paperwork.

You sure you want to

go through with this?

Tom, it's a good thing.

You know, give us

enough to start fresh.

You going to the Tomato Toss?

No.

No, I'm not in the mood.

We had a bad crop. So what?

Mom, they had to outsource

the tomatoes for the festival.

I feel like a failure.

Honey, the people of Lakewood,

they don't love you any less

and your father

wouldn't have either.

He loved his son

unconditionally.

He'd be so proud of the effort

you've put into this place.

And he wouldn't want you

to spend your whole life

doing what you think

he wants you to do.

You have to pursue

what you love.

That's what the Larson

family motto's all about.

Wherever your heart

is, find your home.

So where's my heart, mom?

Well I think she's

currently packing.

(Tom scoffs)

If I had half a chance with

Meg, I blew it yesterday.

She's with Royce, anyway.

Really?

Not according to Royce.

What do you mean?

I don't gossip.

Mom.

Well Royce said Meg

broke up with him.

What happened?

Oh, well, I don't know.

I'm sure she probably had

a good reason to do it.

Honey, it's not a

tough puzzle to solve.

Wait.

Mom, that's it.

A puzzle.

[June] What do you mean?

Mom, you cracked it.

The journal.

It's not the

treasure, it's a clue.

It's the clue.

You're the the best.

Thank you.

(June chuckles)

(door closes)

I'm the best.

(upbeat music)

Meg.

(knocking on door)

Meg!

Meg!

Hello?

Hey.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

[Meg] You could

have just called.

In person.

Okay, hold on a second.

Mind telling me what

this is all about?

I have a plane to catch.

Okay, but what if you didn't?

You made it pretty clear

that there's nothing

left for me in Lakewood.

Okay, I deserve that.

But check this out.

Look, see all these

extra letters?

This is gibberish, right?

But I bet if we decode these,

it'll take us to the treasure.

It's a puzzle, Meg.

It's a final puzzle.

Wait, a key. It was

never a physical key.

It must have been something

to break the code.

Okay, are we

still at a dead end?

Not necessarily.

Maybe my dad found

something to cr*ck it.

Yeah, but we've

already been through

his entire collection.

Oh.

[Tom] Hey, uh,

what are you doin'?

Ah.

My father's journal

for some light reading.

"April 12th.

Outside Knysna. The

heat is oppressive.

It makes me miss the gentle

autumn nights by the lake.

I wish I was home

with the girls.

I miss them so much, but

this is for them, too.

I have to remember that.

I sent Sandra another

set of instructions

for an adventure for little Meg.

Hopefully she thinks

of me as she solves it.

I can't wait until she's ready

to come on some real

adventure with me."

(Meg scoffs)

You okay?

I always thought his

adventures were distractions.

Do you want me

to keep reading?

What's that?

(gentle orchestral music)

"Dear Meg.

If you're reading this,

it means you're trying to

solve my last treasure hunt.

I'm glad.

Perhaps that means at least

part of you wants to forgive me.

I'm sorry that there's so

much distance between us.

I know it's my fault, always

chasing the next thing,

never taking the time to

appreciate what I had.

But I hope that the

hunt has reawakened

some of your love for Lakewood

and reminded you

of the good times.

Perhaps you've even

figured out how that locket

fits into all of this,

the one I hid for you

under the garden dweller

at the river outlook.

I had to make the

treasure hunt very simple.

Did you think it was beneath me?

There's more to it

than meets the eye.

I love you. Dad."

You okay?

Yeah, I will be.

Here, maybe something

jumps out at you.

(gentle orchestral music)

Here, when he writes

about the locket,

"There's more to it

than meets the eye."

Let's take a closer look.

(gentle orchestral music)

See, but then he writes here,

"You were so young.

I had to make the

treasure hunt very simple.

Did you think it

was beneath me?"

Wait, do you think he

means literally beneath him?

There's only one

way to find out.

(gentle orchestral music)

Hey, look.

It's a series of

engraved numbers.

They're pushed together in

groups, almost like a a phrase.

"Wherever your heart

is, find your home."

What's that?

It's the Larson family motto.

Look, it fits, including the

dash and the period there.

Wherever your heart.

It does.

Yeah.

So, so what now?

We line the letters to

the numbers on the locket

and then we match those

values to the peculiar series

of letters in the

Zack Larson journal.

Okay, I'm just gonna line

these up here and we should...

(mysterious music)

(car starts up)

(soft tense music)

Ah, something's missing.

Look.

Zach repeated periods here

and here and the dash here.

You're a genius.

I like to think so.

Wait.

What does that look like to you?

Are those?

Coordinates.

Okay, let me just look these up.

They lead to the

center of town, Tom.

That means the treasure

is still out there.

I never doubted

you for a second.

Okay, I doubted you

for a couple seconds,

but I never lost hope.

Okay, I lost hope for a

little bit, but we did it.

We saved the farm.

Oh.

What?

My mom.

She's about to sign the

contracts with Royce

on the steps of the

library at noon.

Oh, gotta get to you now

Meet you somehow, someway

Oh, you fly through heaven

Nice. Good stash.

Good morning, June.

Poncho? Goggles?

Yes.

You and I both know that

those crushed tomatoes

somehow work their way

underneath everything. (laughs)

They sure do.

You know what?

I'd better put my

cell phone in the car.

You should do that.

All right.

More goggles over

here. Thank you, sir.

(upbeat music)

(tense music)

Come on, mom.

Come on, come on.

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

(cell phone buzzing)

(tense music)

(Royce sighs)

Today's the day,

today's the day.

(tense music)

(soft mysterious music)

[Meg] It should

be just around here.

[Tom] The statue?

Can it really be that easy?

You're due for a win.

Just, um, check for

hidden compartments?

Okay.

(knocking on the statue)

The boot, it's hollow.

[Tom] What?

(knocking on the statue)

(Tom chuckles)

(soft mysterious music)

I'd say that looks like

the treasure of

Lakewood, don't you?

How much do you

think that's worth?

The farm, with

plenty leftover.

Let's go find Royce.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, everyone!

Welcome to this year's

annual Tomato Toss!

(townspeople cheering)

But just remember

to have fun and play-

- Ah, finally.

Could this wait?

I just would like a little

time to enjoy the festival.

No, I'm sorry.

I need to get outta here and

back to civilization ASAP.

Here we go!

In three...

Two...

There's June!

One!

Mom!

We can just hurry this along.

I'm not in the habit

of just signing anything

without reading it.

Oh, no need to

read all of this.

It's just standard legal jargon.

You can sign right there.

(townspeople shouting)

(tomatoes smashing)

Mom!

Mom!

There's no way she's gonna

hear you through all this.

There's only one way through.

Don't you dare drop that ruby.

(Tom and Meg yelling)

(dramatic music)

This is a century of family

legacy I'm parting with,

so if I could just

have a moment.

Please.

(June sighs)

Mom!

Mom!

(Meg grunts)

What the?

Don't sign!

We found it!

It worked.

You know, I think

maybe the farm

is best kept in the family.

Thank you very much

for your offer.

(June laughs)

Don, call me back.

We found the treasure.

Hey.

Thank you.

We did it together.

Just think, next year

this'll all be your tomatoes.

Well, this is officially

the worst town in America.

Hope you found what

you're looking for.

I did.

And I hope you do, too,

whether that's the

resort or whatever.

Just won't be in Lakewood.

Tom.

Take care of her.

Take care of each other.

(Meg chuckles)

(upbeat music)

(townspeople shouting)

Look.

(June gasps)

We found the

treasure of Lakewood.

Oh, you found it.

Oh, it's remarkable.

We did it. As a team.

(June exhales)

You know when you see

something like this in person,

you see how it could

cause so much strife.

Well now it could be

used for something good.

Agreed.

Now if you all will excuse me,

I didn't get to

throw any tomatoes.

I'm gonna go fix that.

(Meg laughs)

You know, you are quite

the treasure hunter.

(Meg chuckles)

Your dad would be proud.

Yeah, well, I think I found

the best treasure in Lakewood.

And I'm not talking

about the ruby.

(gentle orchestral music)

(Meg chuckles)
