It's easier to love somebody.

It's easier than to be loved.

You say you want to be somebody.

Why don't you be yourself?

If you wait for an answer from somewhere.

You've been dreaming.

It's easier than to be loved.

You say you want to trust somebody.

Why don't you trust yourself?

If a wave rolls down from heaven, it's a

turning of the tide.

This is the story of how my best friend Jody and I got rich.

No matter how many rags -to -riches stories you've heard before, believe me,

this one tops them all.

That's me, back in 1980, the day Jody and I first met.

Are we there yet?

Maybe we're lost.

We're not lost.

Why don't you just relax and enjoy the scenery?

Isn't it beautiful?

Mom, you've really lost it.

Where's the mall?

Great. Two channels, and we don't get either one of them. You don't want to

watch TV anyway.

Why don't you go outside and explore the town, huh?

I'll finish unpacking. Go on.

It's a beautiful day. It'll be fun.

We left LA for this.

That was my first glimpse of Jody.

The finest woman I know.

Hey.

Up and at them.

Come on.

Rise and shine.

a rooster crow.

I miss taking traffic.

I miss traffic.

Oh, honey, come on.

Remember our deal.

We're going to try it out for the summer. If we don't like it, we'll go

But you're not going to want to leave.

You know, sometimes it's scary for me, too, without your father.

Sometimes I feel like I'm walking across a big old shaky suspension bridge with

nothing to hold on to.

We'll hold on to each other, okay?

At least I think I am. I'm really sorry.

Ow! Oh, my God. What's wrong?

The pain, it's awful.

You don't look like you're hurt. It takes 24 hours to produce the show.

Tomorrow I'll wake up looking like an eggplant. This could cost you major

dollars. Oh, I'm not giving you a cent.

Just saying, of course.

Relax, I'm not suing you. Yeah, I knew that.

No, you didn't. I had you swarming. Just how dumb do you think I am? Dumb enough

to let a lizard crawl up your leg.

And dumb enough to look.

I'm going to gain 30 pounds living next door to you.

Third generation, my grandmother's recipe. With one or two of my own

secrets. It's so nice of you to do this.

That's just how we do things here. Ah, she's here.

Hey, honey.

Beth, these are our next door neighbors.

This is Mrs.

Briggs and her daughter Tracy.

Hello, hello, hello.

45 minutes from here.

And even if we can't get rides from our parents, there's a bus that goes there.

Great. At least we're not completely stranded.

I can't believe anyone can just come out here and take these.

You're really into this, aren't you?

You know, I'm dying to go to L .A.

I mean, all those beach parties, they must be so cool.

Do you guys start dating when you're, like, nine down there?

Date? No.

Do you guys date?

My mother would kill me.

So when do we start dating?

Eighth grade.

That's when you start shaving under your arms.

I'm not going to.

Date or shave under your arms?

Sam, men don't have to, so why should we?

Italian women don't either.

Tracy, I'm not having hairy pits, okay?

Guys hate it if you have hairy pits.

Do you guys see my pail?

I left it right over there, and it's gone.

Isn't that it over there?

Great. The redneck.

You must be in pretty good shape to climb up there.

Especially with a busted shoulder.

Don't. Don't eat those berries. You'll get sick.

There's nothing wrong with them. These are okay, but those are the ones that

bad. Which?

Those. Well, which are these and which are those?

Those are these and these are those.

Those are these and these are those?

On Tuesday when it hails and snows, the feeling on me grows and grows.

And hardly anybody knows if those are these or these are those.

You know any of the poo?

Yeah, I read it with my dad.

Yeah, me too, with my dad.

On Wednesday when the sky

is blue and I have nothing else to do... I sometimes wonder if it's true that

who is which and which is who. No, what and what is who. What?

Yeah, that's right, what. No, which.

What? What? What? It's which. What?

What? What?

Beth, come on, we have to go.

What are you, her mother?

No, Jody, her friend.

Something you don't know anything about.

You're not worth it.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Beth, we need to talk to you.

That's Jody Salerno. She's really trashy. Bad news, she's... Yeah, and she

fights about everything. She's always getting people into trouble, and she

goes to school. Her mother is a boozer. Yeah, and she lies about everything.

Nobody ever goes to her house. Not even Jodi.

I hear she sleeps in the woods.

Yeah, she's so dangerous. Yeah, I appreciate the warning.

Thanks for showing me the berries.

I'll see you later.

Don't forget, you heard it here first.

Be careful!

Yes, ma 'am.

Your turn.

Forget it.

What's wrong, city girl? You scared?

No. Oh, yeah, you are. I am not.

You are, too.

I'm not.

Did he, girl?

Oh, look at you.

A week ago you were convinced you would never make any friends, and now you're

out the door again.

Where are you off to this time?

I'm going to meet Jodi.

Hey, I thought you said you were going to start working on your book today.

Well, I can't write when the floors are dirty.

So, uh, what happened to drinking?

They don't really get along with Jodi.

But they're wrong.

I like her.

There's something about her. I don't know.

She knows when to poop.

Hey, she can't be all that bad, though.

It's the mom and her boyfriend.

I'm taking your mom down to River Point for some dinner. You want to come?

Come on. You can bring your friend, too.

Ray, baby, these kids don't want to sit in a stuffy old restaurant.

Look, Daddy's having fun with their new little friend.

Well.

I'm Beth.

Easton.

It's nice to meet you. Well, thank you.

You're a little dog.

I'm Lynette. This is Ray.

Ray Carnizack. Nice to meet you. You, too.

Look at these two.

They're ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

Have fun now, girls. Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Is that a knife?

Does he live with you?

No, but he comes over a lot.

What about your dad?

He died when I was seven.

He ordered mine last year.

Does your mom have a boyfriend?

No. It's too soon for her.

Do you think she misses it?

Hmm?

It. You know.

Oh, yeah, well, they always miss it, don't they?

Why do you think Ronald takes such a big deal out of it?

Probably because he's got to get naked.

Ever seen a guy naked?

Babies don't count.

No. You?

In the movies.

A PG?

No, an R. How'd you get in?

It was a drive -in. I watched it through binoculars. Can we go?

They tore it down.

Were they doing it in the movie?

No, but people in the cars were.

So what do people do for excitement around here?

They move somewhere else.

Yeah. My mom loves it here. She says it's better for her work.

What does she do?

Well, she's writing a children's book.

It's about an ostrich who gets lost.

A lost church.

Yeah.

Sorry there isn't more to do.

Except for tomorrow, of course.

What's tomorrow?

June 21st.

So what's the such about June 21st?

Sorry, student. I'm not sure I can trust you yet.

You're faking me out, right?

There's nothing happening tomorrow.

It has to be the first day of summer and the longest day of the year.

The summer solstice?

So?

So at high noon we could be rich.

How?

Billionaires, Easton.

Trillionaires, even.

I thought I could tell you for now that this will be the greatest adventure

you'll ever have.

Meet me tomorrow morning outside the elementary school on Dogwood and 3rd at

Sharp.

Hi. Hi.

Can I help you?

No, I'm waiting for someone.

And if I ask who?

Jody Salerno.

Ah.

Jody's late, huh?

Yeah.

Did you check her house?

I don't know where she lived.

Well, hop in. I'll take you.

That's the one.

Want me to wait?

No, thanks.

Yes. Um, it's Beth, Jody's friend. We met yesterday.

Hi. Is Jody here?

No. I was supposed to meet her, and she didn't show.

I told you, baby.

No luck, huh?

Judy isn't a bad kid. She's just not too dependable.

Yeah, you're telling me.

Come on. I'll give you a ride.

Thanks.

Well, you look familiar.

You sure we've never met?

I've never been here before.

You and your mother just bought Alice Young's old place, didn't you?

Oh, well, she inherited it.

Alice Young was her aunt.

Your mother's name Kate?

Uh -huh.

Hey,

what's going on?

Nothing. Joey never showed, so the sheriff gave me a ride home.

I thought you were going to start working on your book today.

I am. Just, I have to do some painting first, okay?

You know, the last time I saw you, our legs were tied together.

Excuse me?

It's Matt Hollinger.

I know who you are.

Yeah, we would have won that race, too, if you hadn't tripped.

Oh, wait a second. I'll do it again.

You're hitting on my mother, aren't you? No, wait a minute.

Hey, Beth, there's someone on the phone for you disguising her voice.

Jody.

were you? Do you know how long I waited for you?

What time do you have?

9 .47.

At 9 .57, look out your bedroom window and I'll signal my location to you. Look

for the flashing light. Tell no one I'm aware about.

Jodi, what?

Mom, I'm meeting Jodi. I'll be back early.

Wait, wait, Beth.

Where are you two going?

You know, just around.

I don't want you getting in any trouble.

Mrs. Briggs says Jodi, you know, she's got some problems.

She just doesn't have any friends, Mom.

And trust me, okay?

Yeah, okay, okay.

You know, have fun. Just be sure you come back before dinner.

I will. Bye.

Bye, Aaron.

What's going on? Where were you this morning? I was at the

school. No, you weren't. I waited there for you, just like you said.

I was inside getting supplies.

How'd you get all that?

I didn't pay for it.

You stole it?

Yeah, and when I saw you with the sheriff, I hid. Well, the sheriff didn't

you broke into the school.

Does he know where we're going?

Does anyone know? You didn't tell, did you? How could I tell when I don't know?

Look at this and you'll know.

Bear Mountain and the Legend of Molly Morgan. It's one of the books from the

Historical Society.

How'd you get it?

One good thing about living in this place, a lot of buildings close down,

when they do, you can get some great stuff.

It was bizarre, Beth. Like, someone followed me there and made sure I found

this.

See that picture?

Uh -huh.

That was taken over a hundred years ago.

Wow.

Know what's in that sack?

Gold. And there's plenty more where that came from. After a hundred years?

Well, the mountain's still there, isn't it?

My dad used to tell me the legend, just like his father told him.

But there's secrets in this that no one else knows, except me.

Who is Molly Morgan?

Only the greatest woman who ever lived.

Come on.

I'll tell you about it later.

How far is it to the mountain?

About 15 miles.

Well, we can't walk that far.

Who says we're walking?

Why do they call it Bear Mountain?

Why do you think?

Jody?

Jody?

It was a joke.

No, you're the joke.

No wonder you've no friends. No wonder you got left back.

They should have put you all the way back to nursery school.

Jodi, wait up.

Jodi, wait.

Who told you I was left back?

I know that Brown knows Tracy Briggs. I don't want you thinking I'm dumb. I'm

not dumb.

But I am, for saying it.

Well, are you coming to the mountain or not?

I really thought that was a bear.

No more animal noises, promise?

Sorry if I scared you before.

I wasn't that scared.

Oh, no, your eyeballs went boing like that.

You laugh like a horse. You look like one.

Here we are.

The Jody River.

Well, it ought to be named after me.

I'm the only one who ever comes here.

Okay.

Where did you get this?

There used to be a big paper mill near here, and when they closed, a lot of

books got left behind.

All this one really needed was a new motor, so I got one.

You got one? Whose motor was it?

Are you accusing me of theft, Easton?

I paid 20 bucks for it.

Where'd you get the money?

I stole it from my mom first.

I don't believe you.

I know the whole book by heart. It was 1849 and the rush was on.

Farmers, teachers, mill heads and preachers. All heading to California in

search for gold.

Oregon was next.

Then it was our turn. The biggest strike up here was inside Bear Mountain. Hold

it. Stop the party. Everybody go home.

You only happen to leave out the most important part. There's no gold left in

Bear Mountain. It says so right there.

No, look at this.

Whenever miners gather around campfires, they tell the story of Bear Mountain's

most famous prospector, a girl named Molly Morgan.

Molly was born in Scotland in 1900.

She was exactly our age, Beth, when her father was killed in a factory

explosion.

Molly stole a loaf of bread to feed her family, and she was arrested and sent to

a workhouse where they worked until you dropped.

But they couldn't keep her caged up.

Not Molly Morgan.

They never caught her. They thought she drowned in the fall.

But nothing could stop her.

She stowed aboard a freighter and crossed the Atlantic to Canada.

It was hard for a girl traveling alone.

But she didn't care.

She crossed the entire continent.

She dreamed of getting rich.

She dreamed of gold.

Back then, girls couldn't be miners.

So she cut off her hair, smushed up her face, and next thing you knew, a boy who

called himself Morgan was one of the miners riding a boat to Bear Mountain.

She was sailing on the Ferry River, Beth.

Same one we're on now.

She worked as hard as any man ever did.

And then one day, the mine caved in.

could have survived.

Or so they said.

What happened? No one ever saw Molly Morgan again.

Or did they?

She survived.

In 1931, right before the book came out, the police arrested a crazy mountain

woman for making moonshine whiskey.

And the mountain woman called herself Molly Morgan.

No, it's true. All those years she lived inside the mountains, and she told the

police. You set me free and I'll show you how to find a fortress of gold.

I'll even draw you a map.

You're making all this up. You don't know any such thing. You can't even be

that was the real Molly.

Anyone could be Molly.

No, Beth, it's her.

It's gotta be. I mean, sometimes when I'm in the woods, I can feel her. I can

feel her watching.

What have you got me doing? I've got more gold in my teeth than there is in

mountain. Even if that crazy woman was telling the truth, don't you think

someone would have found the gold by now? That's just it. No one ever looked

because they thought she was crazy.

What if she really was Molly Morgan?

What if there really is a fortress of gold?

And what if it's waiting for us? Right there. Right there inside Bear Mountain.

This is my river, and that's my mountain.

Now it's finally here.

June 21st.

But isn't that mountain full of caves and mines?

Yep, and one of them is going to lead us to the Fortress of Gold.

Which one? I mean, there must be so many.

We'll know in 12 minutes.

In the book, Molly Morgan says that you can find the cave at high noon on the

day of the summer solstice.

It's the only time when the sun's rays are at the exact right angle to shine

inside the cave and bounce back.

We'll see the reflection from here.

Molly said it was so bright, she nearly went blind.

As soon as I get my hands in that gold, I'm out of here.

I've been taking a gondola down the Grand Canal and a camel across the

I'm going surfing on the Black Sea and skinny dipping in the Gulf of Mexico.

then I'm going up.

It's outer space.

You're already there.

1151. Nine more minutes.

You better hope those clouds don't get in your way.

Ten. Nine.

Eight. Seven.

money. It's real. It's all ours. Look out, world. Here I come.

Well, say something. You're too shocked, right?

It could be an illusion, Jodi. I mean, the sun could be bouncing off the rock.

Yeah, the rock's in your head.

Why can't you believe what's right in front of your eyes? Well, there's only

way to find out, and we're not going to. Why not?

You can't expect us to climb up there.

I promised her I'd be home early. You mean if you were on the boat with

Christopher Columbus just when he spotted land, you'd tell him to turn

because your mom wants you home early?

Okay, okay, don't get hysterical.

I hear you.

But that mountain is still way too dangerous.

No, it isn't. Just trust me.

That's what I told my mother.

Oh, my God.

Relax.

Where are you taking us? It looks like it's easy to get lost in there.

Jodi, get down from there.

Okay.

What are you doing upside down?

Where? I told you, my condo.

Wipe your feet.

The condo.

Please do come into the sitting room, won't you?

Looks like real furniture.

They're antique.

Been in this family for years.

Four trillion years. This is amazing.

You're amazing.

Morning water, free rent.

What more could I want?

Who knows?

TV.

Property of Wheaton Elementary School.

Does your mother know you come here?

My mother? My mother probably thinks that I'm still in the next room.

You've heard about her, haven't you?

Heard what?

You know, Beth, when you lie, your whole face twitches.

Well, I heard she's not well.

Not well?

Every door you open, bottles come rolling out.

The house smells like a brewery.

What about Ray?

Ray? He's even worse.

That's why she likes him so much. The two of them could get plastered

Oh, my God. Jodi, what happened to you?

That's from when you almost cut me with your bike.

That was your right shoulder.

That was a week ago. Come on, Jodi. What happened?

Don't worry about me.

I'm pretty tough. I know how to take care of myself.

What are you talking about?

Brady and my mom got smashed.

He treats her pretty bad when he gets like that.

She used to fight back, but she doesn't anymore.

It's worse now because he's out of work.

The monster comes out of him. That's when I split.

I come to the woods or to my condo.

Anywhere just to get away from those sounds.

Those awful sounds.

Last night, there was something new.

There was no sound.

I was so scared for her.

I had to help her.

I had to help her. What'd you do?

I was scared, but I went back.

My mom was lying on the floor.

He was coming at her.

I thought this time he was going to kill her.

I grabbed my fishing pole, and I went at him.

Everything was a blur.

I felt the pole go into him like a spear.

Then it snapped, broken.

He threw me and I hit my shoulder on again, something sharp, the corner of a

table or something.

I got up and ran like hell.

I could hear him running after me, screaming.

Then I couldn't hear him anymore.

Then I saw him fall.

I knew he was dead.

Dead? You mean, well, was there blood?

You're sure he was dead?

He wasn't moving.

He wasn't breathing.

I walked around him three times. I called his name. I leaned over him.

Trust me, Wormfoot.

So there's a dead body just lying out there in the woods? Until someone finds

him. What about your mom? I mean, she saw the whole thing. She was out cold, I

told you. Well, tell my mom. She'll know what to do. No, Beth, swear. I swear

you won't say anything.

But this is ridiculous. I mean, you need help.

Come back with me. Tell them the truth. It was self -defense.

Tell them how Ray was treating your mother.

Take Ray's side.

They say that he was trying to straighten me out and I killed him.

say that.

Oh, no?

Everybody likes him. You liked him, too, but they don't feel that way about me.

They never ever believe me. Look at all this stuff that Tracy and Samantha told

you. You'll hear from your mom, too. You wait.

Everybody says that I'll end up in jail.

Well, sorry, folks, but I have to disappoint you.

But I'm staying here the way Molly Morgan did, free.

She had a hard life, too.

She escaped from the workhouse and came to the mountain.

She did not die in that cave -in.

That mountain woman was Molly Morgan. She lived inside these walls, and she

found that fortress of gold, and I'll find it, too.

You can steer the boat yourself, can't you?

Uh, yeah, I think so. Why?

I was hoping you'd bring me food if I run out. Or just visit if I need someone

to talk to. You know I'll help you.

Good. That's the second promise you made to me today.

What's the first?

Climb up to the cave.

Forget it. No, no way.

It's not like we have to climb up the side of the mountain.

We use the passageways that the miners used.

They wind up all the way inside the mountain, then let us out of the cave

the gold.

It goes right through there.

Here, look.

This is a map of the passageway.

No one has laid eyes on this for years.

The passageway looks like a spider's web.

It leads to many different caves.

And now that we know which cave we want to go to, this is how we get there.

No, I've never driven a boat alone before. I've got to give myself plenty

time while there's still daylight.

You're not going to tell them where I am, are you?

I told you I wouldn't.

Are you angry at me?

You are, I can tell.

I'm angry this happened to you.

I mean, you didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't have to hide.

You never meant to kill him.

I'll come into you every week. Cross my heart.

Oh, don't be scared.

It's gonna rain.

The echoes make it sound much worse than it really is.

I'll get you something to keep you dry.

Wait for me in the boat. I'll be right back.

Just a little rain?

My leg stuck and I can't move my arm.

It's like trying to move the whole entire mountain.

Well, you'll have to go for help.

I'll just have to lay here.

You can't just lay there. What about the tide?

What about the tide?

How much time do I have? Before I could drown. You're not going to drown.

We have to go sometime after dark. It's the longest day of the year. About eight

or nine hours or so. Maybe even more.

Well, how far are we from civilization?

There's a highway west of here.

On the other side of the forest. How far?

I'm not quite sure.

But I know I can reach before dark.

Four or five hours tops.

Maybe less, if the rain stops.

Stop the first car that I see and tell them to call the cops.

I'll ride with them to the phone to make sure nothing goes wrong with the call.

Then I'll scoot out.

I can't call the cops myself or let them find me.

Because then they'd arrest me.

So I have to disappear.

Where will you go?

No one knows the woods like I do.

My dad taught me well.

When they come...

Tell them that we went boating and got lost.

Nothing about Ray and nothing about the gold.

I swear I'll come through for you. You can count on me.

Just be strong like Molly.

Strong like Molly.

Be strong, Beth.

I'll make it. I won't let you down.

Just be strong like Molly.

What are you doing way out here?

My friend.

My friend, please help my friend. She's trapped under a rock slide at Bear

Mountain. You gotta help her. You walked all the way here from Bear Mountain?

My God. Where in the mountain is she?

The entrance.

Mrs. Weller, I've got a female teenager reporting a rock slot at the entrance to

Bear Mountain.

And you are?

What?

Your name.

Molly Morgan.

The subject here's name is Molly Morgan, female teenager. I'll be bringing her

into the shop.

I need to make it.

Nothing's broken, but you've got mild hypothermia and some cuts that need to

looked at.

Let's get you home.

Rescue to air. We're ready for pickup.

How's her, Molly?

Oh, that's a mean -looking bruise she has on her shoulder.

Look, I'd better look after the hospital.

I'll do the honors. Thanks, Blake.

All right.

Okay, bye now, Molly. Great going.

They're gonna give you a medal for saving your friend's life.

I'll bet you're starving.

That's how to hold you over until we get you home.

Uh, by the way, your friend?

She's gonna be fine.

Yeah, sorry for the interruption, Matt.

Paramedics just had a look at Molly. She's okay.

Molly.

The girl here.

Molly Morgan.

Yeah.

Yeah, I get the picture.

Right.

I'll take care of it.

Give him some room.

Oh, look at you. No, no, no.

Put it back in the tub.

I'm really okay. Can I just go home? You are not going anywhere until a doctor

gets a look at the two of you. The two of us? You and Jody.

Jody?

Jody! Beth! Beth, will you get back? Beth!

I never thought I'd see you again.

Just a second. Let me get her out of here.

They didn't get anything out of you, did they? No. Good.

We've got to make this quick.

They still don't know about Ray.

No one said a thing. I guess they haven't found the body yet.

I've got to disappear.

Remember our plan. Keep your mouth shut.

There's a TV set from a school?

I've got to make a break for it.

When the time's right, I'll head back to the condo.

I'm sorry. I'll get her.

Could you just please come back with me? Just you. Come with me, please.

Just get on it.

Ray! Matt, thanks for calling.

Well, young lady, looks like you had yourself quite an adventure.

I'm glad to see you're okay.

I'll give your mom a call. I'm Ray Karnizak.

I'm awfully sorry about all this.

You okay, honey?

Wait, wait, no, where are we going?

No, no, you can't leave her!

Jody, no, Mom!

We can't! Leave her! Jody!

No! She's at home!

Mom!

Okay, honey, you stay here. I'm gonna get the car. I can make it, Mom.

No, no. Stay where you are. I'm gonna bring the car around.

Mom, I'm not a baby.

Oh, I see. You almost get yourself killed and that makes you a grown -up?

stay where you are.

Don't cry, Mom.

I'm sorry.

I didn't... It was an accident.

If anything ever happened to you, I don't know what I'd do.

I'm sorry.

I am just keeping you so far away from that girl.

I can't see Jodi.

After what happened yesterday?

No. She saved my life.

Wrong, Beth. She almost got you killed. I can't believe that I didn't listen to

all the things people kept telling me about her. The two of you alone on a

on a dangerous mountain?

Beth, I thought you had more sense.

You have no idea what an incredible person she is.

She saved my life. She's a hero.

Well, according to the sheriff, your hero doesn't seem to be able to walk

building without stealing something.

Does the sheriff know about the drunken fights that go on in her house?

It got so bad. Jody thought Ray was going to kill her mom.

What are you saying?

When Jody tried to stop him, he went after her. You should see the marks on

shoulder.

Ray tried to kill Annette?

Yes. Wait a minute.

Isn't Jody always lying?

How do you know that she's telling the truth this time, honey?

Because I know her mom, and she wouldn't lie to me.

I talked to Judge Gould about the thefts at the school, and, you know, you're

just going to have to keep an eye on her. You can't let her run wild.

She's on a sort of a probation, and she's going to do community service work

under my supervision. I'm going to have her help out with the school custodian.

I know I've done everything I can for her.

This will do her some good. It's a shame, though, huh?

Well, I've got to get going.

Thanks, Matt.

Remember how high Frank used to toss her up in the air all the time? I never saw

a kid so fearless.

She's fearless, all right.

You should have seen her the other night, the night before she was causing

the trouble.

Yeah, no.

What did happen that night?

Well, we caught her red -handed stealing from her mom's purse.

Okay? She looked us right in the eye and denied it.

And then when I told her her mom didn't want to run around disappearing again,

she went nuts. Matt, I mean, she went nuts.

I made and ran, raving, screaming.

Took her fishing rod, stabbed me right in the ribs.

Stabbed me. At least we know where she was running off to. She was running off

that mountain.

The gold.

See you around. Later.

I don't believe this. Don't you get it?

Exactly what Jody said you'd say. You twist everything around so it's all her

fault.

Have you seen her? I mean, is she okay?

She's fine. She's got plenty to do. She's working at the school to make up

her stealing.

This is incredible.

Ray causes all the trouble and Jody gets punished.

Look, when Jody's father died, the only person that Lynette and Jody could count

on was Ray Karnasack.

Lynette went through a terrible time and Ray got her back on her feet again.

There's nothing that he wouldn't do for her or Jody.

That's the Ray I know. Yeah, he's a liar.

Beth, honey.

Jody is my friend. And you can keep us apart for the rest of our lives, but

nothing you say will ever change the way I feel about her.

Ever.

It's wonderful to see you looking so well.

Thank you.

Come on, everybody is dying to talk to you.

Hi,

Beth. How are you?

You know, what we heard is that Jody almost got you killed.

No, actually, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.

Is it true she had thousands of dollars of stolen equipment stashed away in a

hiding place? Yeah, I heard it was jewelry. How could you go there with

She's a total mental case.

No, she's not a mental case.

She saved my life.

I'm just going to go get a drink. I'll get it. No, that's okay. I'll be right

back.

You never know.

Good girl.

Jody.

Oh, he's going crazy. I didn't know when I was going to see you again.

It's the longest tweet I've ever had.

I snuck out.

I've got to get back before they notice I'm gone.

It's like I'm under house arrest or something. Yeah, me too. It's so

Listen. I was telling you the truth about Ray.

Hey, she thought I was lying.

I don't. Total trust.

Couldn't believe it when I saw him in the hospital.

Tell me about it. My heart stopped.

I told my mom what happened to you.

She didn't believe me.

Neither did Matt.

They don't want to know the truth.

It's easier for everyone that way.

Actually, Ray's been pretty nice to me lately.

No kidding.

Yeah, he keeps on asking me about the mountain and my map. I think he wants to

get the gold.

Wait.

Where are you going?

Don't you want to go back to the party?

Don't get weird on me.

Though, there are a couple of cute boys back there. They're just after your

money. Your what money? The money we're going to get when we go back up the

mountain and dig up Molly Morgan's treasure.

I didn't mean to make her run away.

Yeah, well, she knows how you feel about it.

Beth,

you can see her. When?

When?

Tomorrow? Okay, tomorrow.

I'll drive you over, okay?

Okay. Okay. Yo, will you come back to the party?

Oh.

They're stuck down here somewhere.

I'm going to the hospital with them.

When Lynette comes out of this, maybe she'll be able to tell us where Jody is.

Or Ray, for that matter.

They went to the mountain. Man, I'm positive.

Ray wanted Jody to take him to the gold.

Beth, there is no gold. Everybody knows it. It's just a myth.

That's not the point.

Not if Ray thinks she can lead him to it.

Let's wait and talk to Lynette.

We can't wait.

That's all you ever do is wait. I mean, I know what happened.

Ray got drunk and told Judy to take him to the gold.

Lynette must have tried to stop him, and he smashed her.

Judy is in danger, and you're not doing anything.

I think we should listen to her this time, Matt.

Come on, get out of here. Dad?

Where's Dad?

Dad?

Call the state police.

Have them do an aerial surveillance of Bear Mountain and all the surrounding

areas. See if there's... If they can spot anything that might suggest that a

and a girl have been there. You know, I can't believe that I'm doing this. I

have known that guy my whole life.

Okay,

go on home now.

And I promise you, the minute I know anything, I'll call.

Wait, Sheriff, there's one more thing.

You have to have a boat to get to the mountain, so maybe while you go to the

hospital, you could ask Ted to check and see if any boats were stolen overnight.

Come on.

Ted?

Ted, one more thing for you. Come on, honey, let's go home now. There's

more we can do. No, we have to go to the hospital.

but the doctors feel that she's going to pull through.

Oh, my God, they're pulling.

Sheriff?

Did you talk to the state police yet?

Well, they've made several passes over the mountain, but there's no sign

anyone's there.

All right, Beth?

No, that doesn't prove anything.

They have to look inside the mountain, too.

Well, she was right about the stolen boat.

Walter Guthrie shows up at the river this morning to go fishing. And his

gone?

And Guthrie found this on the dock.

It's Jody's.

He must have left it for us to find.

We're going out to the mountain.

You stay here, Ted, and mind the snore.

I'm going with you. No, no, no. You're not going the other way.

Mom,

he doesn't know where to go inside the mountain, but I do.

Jody showed me a passageway that led to the cave where she thought the gold was.

Okay, fine. Well, can't you just tell the sheriff that?

No, I wouldn't.

there to show you.

Come on, we're wasting time.

We have you in our sights. We'll follow you out to Bear Mountain, then orbit the

area.

They're here. That's Guthrie's boat, all right. That's another one for you,

Beth.

Beth.

He's mad to search and rescue.

He found the missing boat.

Better bring the team in here.

Oh, my honey.

Cappy, we're heading in the mountain. Out.

Watch you, Steph.

I'm just going to show the chef the way. You go right through here.

All right, I see it now, Beth. Come on back.

Beth, stop.

Matt, you come with me. Mom, you go back down to the entrance. Then when the

others get here, you can show them the way.

Jody saved my life, and I saved hers.

That's how it works.

Come on. No, don't. Just do what she says. I'll go with her.

Don't they make you guys exercise or anything?

I'm waiting.

Okay, I'm coming.

You look awful.

How nice of you.

Okay, now.

Which way do we go?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know? I thought Jody showed you the way.

You need a map once you get this far.

Okay, where's the map?

Oh, right in the top.

How great.

Wait, isn't that a footprint?

Yeah.

Yeah, and it looks fresh, too, you know.

We found where it came from.

Now it's your turn.

Come on!

Okay, yeah.

Okay, slow down.

Beth, wait up.

Look.

What? I switched this off.

Well, where did the light come from?

This is amazing.

Beth!

Holy...

Sit down. Take a deep breath.

It's okay. Be strong.

Like Molly.

Now, where's Ray?

He's back there somewhere. He's drunk and he's crazy.

I got away. I ran and I just kept running.

It's good. He's probably lost.

My mom.

Do you know if she's okay? When we left, I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell. She's

okay. She's gonna be fine.

They're taking care of her in the hospital.

He took my map.

Then he said that I had to go with him.

She tried to stop him with my dad's gun, and then he grabbed it from her and hit

her with it.

She tried so hard to stop him.

I know.

I know. Let's go.

Let's try and find a way out of here.

Matt's here somewhere, and a rescue squad is on the way.

Beth, look.

That light we saw, it was Crystal.

Valley Morgan's gold.

You're right, Jody.

I always knew it was here.

Worm!

Glowworm.

Well, the cold's got to be here somewhere.

You failed me.

There's no gold here. No gold, huh?

What do you call that?

Lower.

Trying to make a damn fool of me.

I think it's time we had just a little talk.

I want to help you find the gold.

Oh, and where are you?

Oh, you're making it awful tough.

You've been playing games with me all along, haven't you?

No, I haven't.

You've been nothing but trouble since the day you were born.

Now I'm going to have to teach you a little lesson.

have the shovel molly's here she was right here i swear

she's right there beth where are you jody you two okay what the

hell happened to him molly hit him in the head molly yeah

molly morgan she was right there i swear she was right there

Said she wanted to come look for the gold.

I told her no, but there's no arguing with her.

Figured it'd be safer if I came along.

What's the gun for?

Safety?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Matt.

It's me, Ray.

You're looking at me like you don't even know me.

The next time we saw Ray was in a courtroom.

It was quite a media event.

Poor Ray. They sent him to prison.

That was the first moment when I realized the three of us were becoming a

family.

Jody stayed with us all summer while Annette recovered.

Scars that were invisible took the longest to heal.

But finally she came home to Jody.

And on that day...

Someone in my office wants to talk to you, too.

Someone very important.

I knew it. I knew it.

You knew what?

I don't know, but I just knew it.

This is Mr.

Everett Graham.

You are Jody, and you are Beth. I recognize you both. I couldn't turn on

without seeing you.

And these are the girls' mothers, Miss Salerno and Miss Easton.

Hi. Hi. Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

Well, let me tell you why I'm here.

I'm an attorney, and I represent a client who wishes to remain anonymous.

My client would like to present a gift to Miss Beth Easton.

A Miss Jodie Salerno.

Would you please sign these documents to acknowledge receipt of the gift?

Thank you.

Congratulations,

young lady.

Who was our mysterious benefactor?

Jody, of course, swears it was the woman who saved her, Molly Morgan.

But was the woman who saved her the real Molly?

We never saw her again.

I guess we'll never know for sure.
