Chapter 10: The Customs House
(Dipper and Pacifica walk through the building and enter a room full of ship manifests. Pacifica takes out her camera and starts recording.)
Dipper: Wow... these must be all the old ship manifests. (picks up a book and opens it) Still seem to be in pretty good shape. (puts it on a table and flips through it) Hey, check this out. This looks right. The Esperanza. Sailed from Callao, Peru. Carrying 800 bars of gold, 1200 silver. Emeralds, golden masks, ornaments…
Pacifica: Whoa, reading 16th-century Spanish. Not just a grave robber after all, huh?
Dipper: (still reading) Right here. Gold statue, weight: 20 arrobas. That's over five hundred pounds. That's gotta be it.
(He turns the page to the one showing a drawing of El Dorado. The status is flat on the bottom and somewhat trapezoid shaped on top. It has several unique patterns along its exterior and the face of some kind of demon on the top front.)
Dipper: Wow... there you are…
Pacifica: That thing kinda gives me the creeps.
(Dipper keeps turning pages only to find them all blank.)
Dipper: Huh. That's the last entry… Weird…
(Dipper begins touching an old silver ring on a string around his neck. Pacifica notices it and remembers that he's been wearing it since she first met him. She decides to ask him about it.)
Elena Fisher: (smirks) That someone special?
Dipper: What? Oh, yeah. I guess you could say that.
Pacifica: Huh. I had you pegged as more of a "woman-in-every-port" kinda guy.
Dipper: (laughs) Don't I wish. No, this was ah... this was Francis Drake's ring. I, y'know, kind of inherited it.
(Pacifica holds the ring and observes it closely. She sees writing along it.)
Pacifica: "Sic Parvis Magna"?
Dipper: "Greatness from small beginnings". It was his motto. Check out the inscription date.
Pacifica: 29th of January, 1596.
Dipper: One day after he supposedly died.
Pacifica: Wait, what are these numbers right here?
Dipper: Coordinates. Right off the coast of Panama.
Pacifica: Oh, so that's how you found the coffin.
Dipper: (smiles) Yeah, that's right. See, Drake left this as a clue to pinpoint the exact burial sight.
Pacifica: (smiles back) For someone clever enough to figure it out.
Dipper: (takes the ring back) Yeah, nice try. But we're still going for that boat. (rips the El Dorado page out and holds it up to the camera) I'm afraid this is as close as we're getting to El Dorado.
(They go up a flight of stairs in the room and get to a very large room with a taller staircase. They go up it and onto a balcony overlooking the port. The fortress from earlier is seen on the other side. Pacifica looks down at the docks below but sees nothing.)
Pacifica: (frowning) Uh, oh. I don't see any boat, Dipper. Looks like we've missed our chance.
(Dipper looks down and across the building and spots the boat.)
Dipper: No, there it is, on the other side of the harbor. C'mon.
Pacifica: Hey, you know what? Why don't I just wait here, and you can, uh, swing around and come back and pick me up.
Dipper: (chuckles) Okay, what are you up to?
Pacifica: Nothing. I just wanna, y'know, stay here and get some more footage. I'll be safe.
Dipper: Alright, fine. But promise me you'll stay put.
(Pacifica nods and holds her hand up, smiling.)
Dipper: (holds his hand up too) Whatever that means.
(Dipper leaves the balcony by jumping onto the next one over. He keeps doing so until he reaches a door to go back inside. He enters another large room, this one has a hole in the ceiling. He suddenly hears the sound of a helicopter and looks up to see one flying over.)
Dipper: (suspicious) Who's this now? Wait that's no one of Gideon's…
