17.871 - 21.114 Morgan Goodwin

Where is he taking us? Just looks like more jungle to me.

0

21.795 - 27.321 Ben Gunn

Come on, YouTube, come on. Here we are, home sweet home.

0

30.575 - 31.618 Morgan Goodwin

Live in a cave?

0

31.999 - 46.658 Ben Gunn

Not just any cave. The Buckingham Palace of Caves. I found it soon after I came to the island. That was two, no, three years ago. Hard to keep track these days. So... Where do you come from?

47.039 - 49.985

We're from Long Island, New York.

Chapter 2: Who is Ben Gunn and what does he reveal to the group?

50.005 - 52.631 Ben Gunn

I don't care about that. I mean, what year?

53.432 - 63.125 Ben Gunn

You're time travelers like me. And by the look of that phone in your hand, you left later than I did. I'm guessing... 2020? Almost.

65.028 - 89.002 Ben Gunn

Say, you don't happen to have any bagels, do you? I'd give a thousand gold coins for a bagel. Oh, how I miss bagels with cream cheese. Mr. Gunn? Ben! Call me Ben. Oh, bagels, pizza, sushi, I miss them all. I've been living on palm leaves and coconuts. Fish are all around, but the ocean, it watches.

89.763 - 96.379

Yes. Um, okay. Mr. Gunn, Ben, how did you get to this island?

98.243 - 107.747 Ben Gunn

How? Ask Frank Kincaid. He'll tell you how. You know Kincaid? Do I? See this black suit I'm wearing? White shirt, black tie?

Chapter 3: How do the characters plan to find the treasure?

107.896 - 115.082 Ben Gunn

Of course, they're nothing but raggedy rags now, but I was one of Kincaid's crew. Lena was the muscle, but I was the brains.

0

115.623 - 118.265 Morgan Goodwin

Then how did you end up back here in 1756?

0

118.465 - 140.081 Ben Gunn

I wasn't just some ruthless pirate. I was a visionary. I said, Frank, I called him Frank, why settle for sunken ships when you could have the kind of treasure most people only dream about? What did Kincaid say? He laughed in my face, thought I was crazy. You don't think I'm crazy, do you?

0

140.101 - 152.121 Morgan Goodwin

No, of course not. Do we, Morgan? Nope, totally sane. But, see, we need to rescue my brother Max. And that means we have to find the treasure before Long John Silver and the other pirates do.

0

152.382 - 155.387 Ben Gunn

Treasure, treasure, it's always treasure.

155.747 - 163.3 Morgan Goodwin

We have a photo of the map. It was tattooed on a guy named Billy Bones. But it's like we're wandering around backwards. Backwards...

163.28 - 174.121 Ben Gunn

You do think I'm crazy, don't you? And who could blame you? I mean, I was a brilliant scientist, and now... I can barely look at myself in this old mirror I found.

174.141 - 182.537 Morgan Goodwin

Of course! Why didn't I think of it before? Think of what? The map? The mirror? Morgan! I know how to find the gold!

196.895 - 219.055

BYU Radio presents Treasure Island 2020, a reimagined audio adventure based on the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Episode 7, Pieces of Hades.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Billy Bones' tattoos?

256.329 - 262.023 Morgan Goodwin

I just figured out why we've been going in the wrong direction. Morgan, grab the mirror. A mirror? James, you're a genius.

0

262.925 - 266.473 Ben Gunn

Now wait just a minute. The only genius around here is Ben Gunn.

0

266.614 - 289.151 Morgan Goodwin

Morgan, I'll hold up the mirror. You hold up the photo of the map on Max's phone. That's it? Closer? Everything's backwards. No wonder we've been going in the wrong direction. I'll bet Max and the pirates are doing the same thing. Let's go. Before they figure it out. Take the mirror with you. Wait. You kiddies are thinking too small. Thanks for your help, Ben. We have to go.

0

289.311 - 291.615 Morgan Goodwin

Let's grab the shovels. You're making a mistake.

0

291.815 - 298.485 Ben Gunn

Yeah. Come on. Get the shovels. Fools! I can show you the greatest treasure of all time. Yeah. Go. Come back.

310.43 - 335.915 Morgan Goodwin

You sure this is the right direction? Feels like we're walking through a jungle with the very large mosquitoes. It's overgrown, but I can still see the path. What is that on the map at the top of this hill? I don't know. Some kind of signpost. Hawkins, what do you think Ben Gunn was talking about when he said he could help us find the greatest treasure of all time?

336.396 - 365.528 Morgan Goodwin

I think Ben Gunn's been alone on this island too long. Confirmed. His brain has been baking... Morgan? What's that? You mean who? Why is that skeleton hanging from the tree? No. I'll bet that's one of Captain Flynn's crew! Or what's left of him! Flynn must have left him here, hanging on that tree as a warning! Well, it worked! You won't tell Max I screamed like that, will you?

365.688 - 408.394 Morgan Goodwin

Your secret is safe with me. Well, me and our creepy new friend. Come on. Wait! Look at his hand! Is it me, or are his bony fingers... Pointing that way? You think that's the signpost you were talking about, Hawkins? Who am I to argue with a skeleton? Thanks, buddy. Hang in there. James, what is this place? It looks like a cemetery. Must be half a dozen wooden crosses.

408.735 - 416.179 Morgan Goodwin

Each cross must be for one of Captain Flint's crew. He buried the gold, and then he buried them, so they never lived to tell.

Chapter 5: How does the group discover they have been going in the wrong direction?

416.98 - 442.549 Morgan Goodwin

All except for Billy Bones and Long John Silver. And our bony friend in the tree. Okay, so which cross marks the spot where the gold is buried? According to the map, that one in the center with the red paint. I don't think that's paint. Right, so this is it. I guess there's only one thing to do. Start digging.

0

443.31 - 445.793

Excellent plan, James Hawkins.

0

445.813 - 449.117 Morgan Goodwin

Silver! Max! Morgan, what are you doing here?

0

449.138 - 458.529

Should've known you two wouldn't stay put on this ship. That was a mistake to come to this island, kids. But we do appreciate you leading us to the treasure.

0

458.79 - 464.137 Morgan Goodwin

You followed us? It was backwards. The map was backwards. Hawkins figured it out.

464.538 - 469.524

Well, what are you waiting for? Grab a shovel, you pack of curves, and start digging.

470.185 - 475.152 Morgan Goodwin

They're not going to let us go, are they, James? Once they find the gold? Not a chance.

477.115 - 477.495 Bruno Satin

Dig! Dig! Dig! Dig!

483.702 - 487.408

That's it. Keep digging. You'll reach the treasure soon.
