Searcher
[from teaser trailer]

I'm not an explorer. I'm a farmer.

Searcher

Are you okay? [Splat squeals in response] I'm talking to my son!

Searcher

My whole life, I worked so hard to be the exact opposite of my dad... And, uh, looks like I ended up just like him. I just wanted so badly to build you a legacy you could be proud of. But I might’ve got a little bit caught up in it.

Scenes with Searcher

10 scenes
Jaeger Clade

Searcher, we're explorers, not gardeners. Conquering those mountains is our legacy!

Searcher Clade

No, Dad. It's yours!

Jaeger Clade
[furiously]

ENOUGH! YOU'RE MY SON!

Searcher Clade

But I'm not you! [Jaeger shocked at Searcher's words] I'm not you.

Callisto Mal

I don't mean to interrupt, but I actually think Baby Clade's right.

Jaeger Clade

Callisto?

Callisto Mal

Jaeger, we don't actually know what's past the mountains. But these plants here are real. We owe it to our country to see what they can do.

Jaeger Clade
[Jaeger looks at his path to the mountains, then back at Searcher]

Here. [gives Searcher his compass] You'll need this to find your way home.

Searcher Clade

What?

Callisto Mal
[Jaeger angrily starts off]

Jaeger?

Searcher Clade

Dad...

Callisto Mal

Jaeger, come back!

Searcher Clade

Dad, wait. Dad!

Callisto Mal

Jaeger, you can't survive out there alone!

Searcher Clade

Dad, stop!

Ethan Clade
[as he sees his parents kissing]

Ew. This is the first image that has to be imprinted on my brain this morning?

Meridian Clade

Oh, Ethan, does this bother you?

Searcher Clade

Impossible. I mean, what sixteen year-old boy doesn’t like seeing their parents smooch? [starts kissing again much to Ethan's disgust]

Ethan Clade

Okay, okay! Ugh! [eating his breakfast] You know, I owe you know that you're emotionally scarring Legend.

Meridian Clade

Yeah. He looks real awful.

Searcher Clade
[Searcher sighs and looks at the weeds outside from the window]

Looks like someone forgot to weed the north field.

Ethan Clade
[still eating]

Father, what is a weed... other than a plant growing somewhere that you find inconvenient?

Searcher Clade
[sighs happily]

I appreciate how clever you are! But you know what I'd appreciate more?

Ethan Clade

If I weeded the north field?

Searcher Clade

You see? So clever! [Searcher starts kissing Meridian]

Caspian

Mr. Clade, I'm a huge fan…

Searcher Clade

Oh, thank you.

Caspian

Of your dad. [Searcher sighs] Do you think you could forge me his autograph?

Searcher Clade
[after Jaeger saves Searcher and Legend from the Reapers]

Hey. Uh, hello. I'm a human being from the top world. You probably don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?

Jaeger Clade

Of course I understand you. What do you think I am? One of those mindless monsters?

Searcher Clade

Huh?

Jaeger Clade

That's right, bub. You're in the presence of the one, the only, Jaeger… [takes off his cloak]

Searcher Clade

Dad?

Jaeger Clade

Dad!?

Searcher Clade
[Attacked by reapers]

Stay behind me!

Ethan Clade

Who's he?

Searcher Clade

Ethan, meet your grandpa.

Ethan Clade

That's Jaeger Clade?!

Jaeger Clade

The one and only.

Ethan Clade

No monster, no Pando!

Searcher Clade

And no bad guys? What kind of game has no bad guys?

Jaeger Clade

That’s just poor storytelling.

Ethan Clade

Okay. You know what?! You want bad guys?! Fine. You two are the bad guys! BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH ARE ANNOYING ME!

Searcher Clade
[Ethan walks in frustration and opens the door but Splat removes the cards and squeaks in frustration while walking and slams the door]

Ha! Teenagers, right?

Jaeger Clade
[flicks the card away]

I win!

Searcher Clade

I know you, Ethan. And this isn't you. [Ethan angrily jumps off the Venture Ship to leave] Ethan, come back here. Ethan! Ethan!

Searcher Clade
[after Ethan jumps off the Venture Ship to leave, Searcher follows him on his vehicle]

Are you crazy? Hey, get on this skiff, now!

Ethan Clade

Leave me alone!

Searcher Clade
[He tries to leave, but Searcher catches up]

Hey, what is this all about?!

Ethan Clade

You, Dad. You.

Searcher Clade

Me?!

Ethan Clade

You just assume I’ll follow in your footsteps, but you never asked me what I wanted!

Searcher Clade

You're a kid! [grabs Ethan to his vehicle] You don't know what you want!

Ethan Clade

I know I DON'T WANNA BE YOU!

Searcher Clade
[sighs]

My whole life, I worked so hard to be the exact opposite of my dad. And, uh, looks like I ended up just like him. I just wanted so badly to build you a legacy you could be proud of. But I might've got a little bit caught up in it.

Ethan Clade

Dad, stop talking.

Searcher Clade

Ethan, I'm trying to apologize here.

Ethan Clade

Dad.

Searcher Clade

That's an eye, right?

Ethan Clade

Yeah.

Searcher Clade

A… A really, really big eye.

Ethan Clade

Yeah.

Searcher Clade

And it's looking right at us.

Ethan Clade
[gasps]

You… You know what this means, right?

Searcher Clade

It's judging me?

Ethan Clade

No, no. If this place has an eye, it has to be attached to a head. And if this place has a head, that means what we've been travelling through this entire time was its insides.

Searcher Clade

Like, its guts and stuff?

Ethan Clade

Okay, yes. Hear me out. The windy forests we were in, that's the lungs, and… and the acid lake? That's the stomach!

Searcher Clade

And this giant eye must be its eye.

Ethan Clade

The Reapers aren't monsters. They're an immune system.

Searcher Clade

What?

Ethan Clade

That's what Splat was trying to tell me. This place is alive. It's a living thing. We didn't find the heart of Pando, we found an actual heart.

Searcher Clade

So, all this time, we've been living on the back of this giant creature?

Ethan Clade

Yeah, and Pando is killing it.

Searcher Clade
[As Searcher walks into the Venture Ship, one of Callisto's crew grab him]

Callisto?!

Ethan Clade
[off-screen]

Dad?!

Meridian Clade
[Searcher sees Meridian, Ethan, and Splat are captured by Captain Pulk and Caspian]

Get your hands off me!

Callisto Mal

Emotions are running really high right now, and I don't know what you think you saw, but we came down here to save Pando. That plan hasn't changed.

Searcher Clade
[getting taken away by her crew]

You have no idea what you're doing! You are going to destroy Avalonia!

Meridian Clade

No, let me go!

Searcher Clade

Please, you gotta listen to me!

Ethan Clade

Get off me!

Searcher Clade
[Callisto's crew lock Meridian, Ethan, Searcher, and Splat into a storage closet]

You're making a big mistake! You gotta get us outta here! Unlock this door! No, you can't do this! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!

Ethan Clade

Can you not yell at my dog?!

Searcher Clade

Well, I wouldn't yell if he were actually trained!

Ethan Clade

He is trained. He hasn't peed in the house for the last two days.

Meridian Clade

We've been on this ship for the last two days.

Searcher Clade
[Splat continues to guide Legend and sees the switch and plays it]

You still have to unlock it. There's a switch right beside the handle! Legend, do you see the switch? Legend, you see the switch?

Searcher Clade
[Legend spots the switch and playfully licks it]

What is that sound? Is he licking the switch?! Legend, stop licking the switch. [Meridian chuckles to searcher as Legend licks it] Legend, stop! Legend, stop licking the switch! STOP LICKING THE SWITCH!

Ethan Clade
[Splat squeaks to Searcher and slides down to the door outside and switches the door lever and pats him but he slides down to the door back inside and Legend opens it revealing the Clades]

Okay, what's the plan?

Searcher Clade

Let's get back control of this ship!
