Chapter 14: Going Underground
Dipper: Okay. Land of the dead. Here we go.
(He descends down the stairs and gets to a crypt with old stone coffins. He moves through it and finds a small ravine which he crosses. He gets to a room with pillars holding up the ceiling and a flight of stairs behind a small gate. He opens the gate and goes up the stairs coming out of hatch in the floor of a church. He knows it must be the church he saw outside in the monastery. He takes cover behind the pews as more mercenaries patrol the interior. Soon, they spot him and they have it out. After putting them down, Dipper heads to the front of the altar and sees two large silver bells on either side.)
Dipper: Wait, there's something about this…
(He opens the diary to a page displaying two bells.)
Dipper: (reading) "Two bells resound in perfect harmony."
(He knows they need to ring at the same time so he aims his gun at one and hits it causing it to ring. He immediately does the same to he other and a door opens up at the end of the altar.)
Dipper: Yeah, alright!
(Dipper then enters the door and finds a ladder. He begins to climb down into the underground caverns.)
Dipper: (imitating Stan) "We got all the clues, right here. We can do this, kid." How the hell does he think he's gonna get that statue outta here, anyway?
(After climbing down the ladder, he navigates through another crypt and encounters a few more mercenaries.)
Dipper: (annoyed) Oh jeez, these guys are everywhere.
(He gets up close and personal and engages in hand-to-hand combat with them. He is much quicker than them and knocks them all down. He exits the catacombs and enters a large cavern. He scales some stone platforms to get higher up and eventually comes to an area with a vent in the ceiling.)
(He hears voices through the vent and listens closely. He recognizes them as Powers, Trigger and Gideon. He eavesdrops on the conversation in the room above him. Powers sits in a chair smoking a cigarette while Trigger goes over some documents on a table next to him. Gideon stands in front of them near the entrance.)
Powers: (impatiently) This is completely unacceptable.
Gideon: (frustrated) Well, what do you expect from me, Powers? My men are getting massacred!
Powers: I find it hard to believe that one man and one woman could wipe out your entire crew.
Gideon: Ugh! It's not just Drake and Northwest, goddammit! I'm telling you, this island is cursed!
Powers: Enough! Just take your sorry mob and go.
Gideon: Wait, you can't cut me loose. You owe me a share of the gold!
Powers: Your share, Gideon, was contingent upon you doing what I required. You assured me that Drake was captured, and the island secure.
Gideon: Oh, this is bullshit, Powers, and you know it! You're doing no better than me! You brought that old fool Stanley Pines to help you but he's only slowing you down!
(Trigger points a pistol at him.)
Trigger: (threateningly) Don't tell us how to do our job.
Powers: We're done here, Mr. Gleeful.
(Powers drops his cigarette down the vent and it hits Dipper's head. He wipes it off in disgust. Gideon says nothing more and angrily walks out mumbling insults under his breath.)
Powers: Remind me again why you employed that superstitious idiot?
Trigger: You wanted someone cheap.
Powers: Well, you get what you pay for, I suppose. And what about you, Trigger? Are you worth what I'm paying you?
Trigger: The vault's here. I'm sure of it. If Pines can be trusted…
Powers: (frustrated) Which he can't! You must admit that's the one thing Gideon was right about.
Trigger: Look, he doesn't have a choice. He knows we'll kill him if he's lying.
Powers: Don't be stupid. He knows we'll kill him once we find the treasure. He has no incentive to tell the truth. Really, Trigger, sometimes I think you left your brains back in that slum where I found you.
Trigger: I just need a little more time.
Powers: You might be the expert on El Dorado here, but chasing this treasure of yours is proving to be more trouble than it's probably worth.
Trigger: I assure you, El Dorado is worth more than you can possibly imagine.
Powers: It had better be…
(Dipper hears what they said and left the area. He figured that they didn't trust Stan which wasn't a problem for him as Stan had already outsmarted them. And he figured that Gideon won't be a part in this anymore but he wondered what he meant when he said the island was cursed. He continues through the cavern and comes to another small gate. He opens it up and steps through.)
