"Sully, we need you", Nate pleaded
"That much I got, what I don't get is why you're stickin' your necks out for this Chase girl that you both just met", Sully stated
"Ok, ok, but you're not gonna like it", Nate said
"I already don't like it, you know what it cost me to get here", Sully asked
"She's in trouble, and it's our fault, we... kinda let Dante talk us into", Ella began
"Oh for Christ's sake, Nate, Ella, tell me Dante's not in this thing", Sully asked
"Ok... Dante's not in this thing, not anymore at least, but... Guerro is, yeah, and he's got the girl", Nate stated
"This just gets better and better, so it's El Générale's army that's headed into the rainforest", Sully said
"So, you've heard of him, huh... yeah, I know, everybody's heard of him, but hey, he's not a general anymore", Nate stated
"Tell that to his goddamn army", Sully said, "alright, let's forget about it... just finish your story, where is he taking her",
"I told you about the Sword of Stephen, this is the charcoal rubbing we took from it... Ella your up", Nate said as Ella remained silent as she rearranged the pieces, which soon revealed a map
"And here we are, La Selva de las Serpientes", Ella stated
"The Serpent Jungle", Sully said
"That's where he's taking her", Ella stated once again
"Ok, great, fill me in... where exactly", Sully asked
"Well, if we're right, this is the Temple of the Serpents... the gateway to Quivira", Nate stated
"Holy shit... the city of gold", Sully said in shock
"Yeah, her grandfather spent years searching for it, I mean, to see Chase's passion for his work...", Nate explained, "I don't know, Sully, I guess we just got caught up in it, we should have talked her out of it",
"What the hell are you talking about", Sully asked
"You remember why we got into all this", Ella asked
"Of course I remember", Sully said
"Then why don't you tell us why we've wasted so many years working crap jobs for guys like Dante", Nate asked
"So the business can get a little rough once in awhile", Sully stated
"See, that's just it, it's a business to us, but not for her", Ella said
"First off, lighten up a little bit, because from everything you both told me, this girl is perfectly capable of taking care of herself", Sully stated, "she was involved with Dante and Guerro long before you showed up, right",
"Yeah, yeah, I guess she was", Nate said
"Then she's probably smart enough to give 'em just enough information to keep herself useful", Sully stated once again
"So as long as Guerro needs her", Ella began
"She'll be fine", Sully finished, "now, we gotta be just as smart, we don't have a goddamn army, so we're not going that way; but what about this, this river basin right here, I happen to know a guy who can outfit us... no questions asked",
"So, you're gonna help us", Nate asked
"Of course I'm gonna help you guys, I'm here, aren't I, that's what partners do", Sully stated
"No, that's what good partner's do", Nate corrected
