"All right, walk me through it one more time." JJ says.
"Okay, right there." John B points to South America on the map. "That's where they're taking him. That's the site of the idol."
"You just pointed to just South America, you understand that, right?" JJ asks.
"Yep." John B nods.
"That's all you know?" JJ asks. "He's somewhere in South America?"
"Listen, that's why we're going to the professor's house." John B states. "Look, he was at the site."
"Okay." JJ says. "So happy we have the map, then. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa! We're going to a house right now with a dead body in it? That-- that's where we're going?"
"Yeah." John B nods.
"And if the cops show up, you know what that makes us look like?" JJ asks. John B nods.
"Yes."
"Okay, just making sure. Can we make it quick though? Just in and out." JJ says.
John B pulls up to the house and turns the van off.
"Okay." JJ turns to his sister. "You're gonna stay in here and stay on the floor to hide. Got it?"
"You're coming back, right?" Cora nervously asks. Last time he left her in the van, he disappeared for months.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm coming back." JJ promises, rubbing her head. "I'll see you in-- in ten minutes, tops." He tells her. Cora hesitates before nodding. JJ gives her a reassuring look before he gets out.

"Okay, now, let me get this straight. So, because you know a guy with the same last name as Neville, you think they've gotta be related." John B says as they get out of the Twinkie. "That's your master plan?"
"Right. Okay. How many people do you know with the last name Persaud?" JJ questions. "I met a guy here last summer with my cousin cause we're doing the growing business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last name Persaud. Or wait, was it Percett?" He asks making them stop.
"No, no, no. Okay, you think--" John B starts.
"No, no, no." JJ says.
"Cause we're talking about my dad's life."
"No, I know. I know Mr. Persaud. Trust me. It's cool." JJ promises. "Hey, uh, Mr. P., right?" He calls to a guy.
"Hey!" He grins.
"Yeah. I told you." JJ mutters. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's going on, man?" He greets Persaud. "Yeah. Hey, so we're looking for... we're looking for Neville. Is he still here?"
"Nah, nah, nah, he's out there." He points. "Been holding up near Doe Creek."
"Doe Creek?" JJ asks.
"In his houseboat. Way, way back."

"Why do you ever doubt me, dude?" JJ questions.
"The idea was a little far fetched is all I'm saying." John B says.
They walk in the water, standing so it reaches their knees. Cora stays back a little, not wanting to get in the water.
"All right, so we're looking for a houseboat." JJ says, glancing around.
"That looks like a houseboat." John B comments, the two noticing it.
"Well, you think he's there?" JJ asks.
"I don't know. I mean--"
"Only one way to find out. Neville! Hey!" JJ shouts.
"Stop it!" John B hisses, covering JJ's mouth until the blonde reels out of his grip.
