GlZA PORT - CAlRO
Do you really think he'll come?
Yes, undoubtedly, knowing my luck.
He may be a cowboy, but l know the breed. His word is his word.
Personally, l think he's filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel.
-l don't like him one bit. -Anyone l know?
Hello.
Smashing day for the start of an adventure, O'Connell?
Yeah, smashing.
No, l'd never steal from a partner, partner.
That reminds me, no hard feelings about the....
-Happens all the time. -Mr. O'Connell.
Can you look me in the eye and guarantee this isn't some kind of a flimflam?
-Because if it is, l am warning you-- -You're warning me?
Let me put it this way, my whole damn garrison believed in this so much...
...they marched across Libya and into Egypt to find that city.
When we got there, all we found...
...was sand and blood.
Let me get your bags.
Yes, you're right.
Filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel. Nothing to like there at all.
Bright good morning to all.
Oh, no. What are you doing here?
l'm here to protect my investment, thank you very much.
Quit playing with your glasses and cut the deck, Burns.
Without my glasses l can't see the deck to cut it, Dave.
O'Connell, sit down. We could use another player.
-l only gamble with my life, never money. -Never?
What if l was to bet you $500 that we get to Hamunaptra before you?
-You're looking for Hamunaptra? -Damn straight we are.
-And who says we are? -He does.
Well, how about it?
ls it a bet?
-All right, you're on. -What makes you so confident, sir?
-What makes you? -We got a man who's actually been there.
What a coincidence, because O'Connell--
Whose play is it? ls it my play?
Gentlemen, we got us a wager. Good evening, Jonathan.
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
The only thing that scares me are your manners.
Still angry about that kiss?
lf you call that a kiss.
Did l miss something?
Are we going into battle?
Lady, there's something out there.
Something underneath that sand.
l'm hoping to find a certain artifact.
A book, actually.
My brother thinks there's treasure.
-What do you think's out there? -ln a word, evil.
The Bedouin and the Tuaregs believe that Hamunaptra is cursed.
Look, l don't believe in fairy tales and hokum, Mr. O'Connell...
...but l think one of the most famous books in history is buried there.
The Book ofAmun-Ra.
lt contains within it all the secret incantations of the old kingdom.
lt's what first interested me in Egypt when l was a child.
lt's why l came here, sort of a life's pursuit.
And the fact that they say it's made of pure gold makes no never mind to you?
-Right? -You know your history.
l know my treasure.
By the way...
...why did you kiss me?
l was about to be hanged. lt seemed like a good idea.
What? What did l say?
What a surprise! My good friend, you're alive!
l was so very, very worried.
Well, if it ain't my little buddy, Beni.
-l think l'll kill you. -Think of my children.
You don't have any children.
-Someday l might. -Shut up!
So you're the one who's leading the Americans. l might have known.
So what's the scam? You take them into the desert, and leave them to rot?
Unfortunately, no.
These Americans are smart.
They pay me half now, half when we return to Cairo.
-So this time l must go all the way. -Them's the breaks.
You never believed in Hamunaptra.
Why are you going back?
You see that girl?
She saved my neck.
You always did have more balls than brains.
Good-bye, Beni.
O'Connell!
"George Bembridge...
"...in 1860....
"ln 1865 with...."
For heaven's sake, girl, it wasn't that good of a kiss, anyway.
Where is the map?
There.
And the key? Where is the key?
The key? What key?
The map! We forgot the map!
Relax. l'm the map. lt's all up here.
That's comforting.
-The key! -Evy?
Hold on to this.
Can you swim?
-l can swim if the occasion calls for it. -Trust me.
lt calls for it.
O'Connell!
What are we going to do?
-Wait here! l'll go get help! -Right!
Americans.
l say, bloody good show, chaps!
And did l panic?
l think not.
Get 'em out of the water! Come on, dogies!
Give them a smack, would you!
This is a messed-up country.
We've lost everything!
All of our tools, all the equipment...
...all my clothes!
O'Connell!
lt looks to me like l've got all the horses!
Beni!
lt looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!
Yeah.
l only want four! Four!
l only want four, not a whole bloody herd!
Can you believe this cheat?
Just pay the man.
For heaven's sakes, can't believe the price of these fleabags.
-Very good. -You probably could've got them for free.
-You just had to give him your sister. -Yes.
Awfully tempting, wasn't it?
Awfully.
Never did like camels.
Filthy buggers. They smell, they bite, they spit.
Disgusting.
l think they're adorable.
This one is strong.
Good morning, my friend.
What are we doing?
Patience, my good barat'm. Patience.
Remember our bet, O'Connell? First one to the city, $500 cash.
$100 is yours if you help us win that bet.
My pleasure.
O'Connell...
...nice camel.
Get ready for it.
For what?
We're about to be shown the way.
Will you look at that?
Can you believe it?
Hamunaptra.
Here we go again.
So long, Beni!
That serves you right.
Go, Evy! Go!
Do they know something we don't?
They are led by a woman.
What does a woman know?
That's a statue of Anubis.
lts legs go deep underground.
According to Bembridge scholars, we'll find a secret compartment there...
...containing the golden Book ofAmun-Ra.
Jonathan, you're meant to catch the sun with that.
What are these old mirrors for?
Ancient mirrors. lt's an ancient Egyptian trick. You'll see.
Here, this is for you.
Go ahead. lt's something l borrowed off our American brethren.
l thought you might like it. You might need it...
...for when you're....
What are you looking at?
Look for bugs.
l hate bugs.
We're standing inside a room no one has entered in over 3,000 years.
What is that God-awful stench?
"And then there was...
"...light."
Hey, that is a neat trick.
-My God. lt's a Sah-Netjer. -What?
-Preparation room. -For what?
For entering the afterlife.
Mummies, my good son. This is where they made the mummies.
What was that?
Sounds like...bugs.
He said bugs.
What do you mean, bugs? l hate bugs.
The legs of Anubis.
The secret compartment should be hidden somewhere inside here.
You scared the bejesus out of us.
Likewise.
-That's my tool kit. -l don't think so.
Okay.
Perhaps l was mistaken.
Have a nice day, gentlemen. We have a lot of work to do.
-Push off! This is our dig site. -We got here first.
This here's our statue, friend.
l don't see your name written on it, pal.
There's only four of you...
...and 15 of me.
Your odds are not so great.
-l've had worse. -Me, too.
For goodness' sake, let's be nice, children.
lf we're going to play together, we must learn to share.
There are other places to dig.
According to these hieroglyphics we're underneath the statue.
We should come up between his legs.
When those damn Yanks go to sleep...
-...no offense... -None taken.
...we'll dig up and steal the book from under them.
Are you sure we can find this secret compartment?
Yes, if those beastly Americans haven't beaten us to it.
-No offense. -None taken.
Where did our smelly little friend go to?
What have we here?
Blue gold.
This will fetch a mighty fine price.
-Let's get us some treasure! -Careful!
Seti was no fool.
l think perhaps we should let the diggers open it.
l think we should listen to the good doctor, Henderson.
Yeah, sure. Let them open it.
So they ripped out your guts and stuffed them in jars.
They'd take out your heart as well. Know how they took out your brains?
We don't need to know this.
They'd take a sharp, red-hot poker, stick it up your nose...
...scramble things about a bit and then rip it out through your nostrils.
That must hurt.
lt's mummification. You're dead when they do it.
lf l don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification.
Likewise.
Oh, my God. lt's a....
lt's a sarcophagus.
Buried at the base of Anubis.
He must have been someone of great importance.
Or he did something very naughty.
Allah.
One more.
Help me! Help me!
Who is it?
"He That Shall Not Be Named."
This looks like some sort of a lock.
-Whoever's in here sure wasn't getting out. -No kidding.
lt'll take a month to crack into this thing without a key.
A key?
A key! That's what he was talking about!
-Who? -The man on the barge.
The one with the hook. He was looking for a key.
That's mine.
