Easy,

easy.

Thought the war was over.

Bloody Jews.

Bloody Arabs. Stop shooting each other.

Inspectable people like you and I can get on with earning our livings.

How are you feeling?

Oh, I'll live.

Fever's going down now.

There's no clue when the storm breaks.

Listen, this is your last pill, you know.

Were the crew knocked off?

No, not yet.

What the bloody hell are you doing here?

Well, I came to see if you needed anything.

I can nurse myself through a bout in an area. I've been doing it for years.

You go back up there and watch them.

If they find anything unusual, they'll steal it.

If they can't steal it, they'll tell somebody about it.

You get up and watch them.

They could be robbing us blind right now.

Go on.

This is good, Hassan. Very good.

Tell them to remove this stone. Out the way.

Very gently. We don't want it to crack or splinter.

Come on.

The ladder. Catch

the ladder.

A cigarette.

For the boys.

Yeah?

Go on.

I have found just the most incredible statue you have ever seen. The detail.

You've never dreamt of anything like it.

She is beautiful.

Oh, yes.

A statue, yes.

Anybody else see it? No.

Look at that crafty sod hat there. I went down there alone.

Where are the boys now?

I dismissed them.

Good lad.

You're beginning to learn. Thank you very much.

in here, sir.

Dry as a bone.

How old do you reckon she is?

You've got no idea how old this might be, son.

It doesn't look Greek.

This is worth... This is worth the 30 years I've been grabbing around in this

business.

This is the treasure hunter's dream.

The bonanza!

I'm talking about six figures, son.

No questions asked, if we can get to the right people.

No mention of our names, ever.

We'll split it down the middle, 50 -50.

That is, if we can... Smuggle her out of the country.

That's right.

No other way to cut it, is there?

And don't give me all that stuff about this nation's cultural heritage.

She does belong to these people, you know.

We could go through the proper channels.

Apply for an export license. Come on.

You know what the officials are like in this country. It's all... We did the

work.

We found it.

And if anybody's going to make a profit out of it, it's going to be me.

As a matter of strict record, old chap, I was the one who found it, remember?

Yeah, well, that's why I said 50 -50, wasn't it?

I don't know.

You want to pass up the chance of a fortune?

Get this thing out of here.

Tanner?

We are going to get involved in this. Are you absolutely certain of her age

value?

Listen, son.

Lots of people question my morals.

Nobody in this business ever doubted my expertise.

That thing's worth whatever somebody will pay for it.

Leave that part to me.

What have you got to do?

Help me get it out of the country. Where are we going?

Israel. That's the first stop.

Well, how are we going to get her there?

Well, that's what we're going to find out, isn't it?

What do we do?

We take the truck.

Turn that light on, would you, sir?

Take the truck, follow the shoreline all the way down here till we get to Iron

Hats about there.

Where's that light?

There.

Now, we skirt that, we go about 15 miles further south. There's a little road

just here.

We ought to be able to get over the border there without too many awkward

questions being asked.

All right?

Right.

Yeah, just bring what you need, son, nothing else.

My God, she's heavy.

Not as heavy as I thought it'd be.

What do you think she's made of?

Who cares?

Mind the edge of that hoe!

Here she comes.

Steady. Careful.

In the middle there.

Right. Steady.

Steady.

Careful. Here it comes.

Here, give this over it.

Get in the cab.

Right.

We're over.

You're not well enough to...

Listen, Tanner, I've been thinking.

Spare me. This is all wrong.

Yeah, we're very naughty boys, Miller.

It's the money, isn't it?

That's all your interest is in. No, not just the money.

This is the justification of my entire life.

Thirty years of scheming, dreaming, never really believing anything

like that had come my way, and now it has.

That old crook Tanner and his boy have brought off the big one.

Five to the century.

But this way, even if we do get away with it, who's ever going to know?

We will.

And we'll have hard, sweet cash to prove it.

He wants us to stop.

Do you want to kill him?

Yeah, teach him a lesson, won't you?

You're crazy!

Papers.

Where are you going?

Upper Malab.

Permit. It's in there.

What are you carrying?

Equipment. No, you show me, please.

Open up.

Yeah.

Get him off the road.

Why did you do that?

Get him off the road!

We can't just leave him here.

Why not?

Well, he's dying.

So?

Look, I draw the line at murder.

Well, I don't.

I'm getting out of here.

Get over. You drive.

This man.

We could have tried to bribe him.

You had no reason to hit him. Drive. Just drive.

Whiskey and malaria.

Well done, Tanner. Terrific combination.

You just concentrate on the driving, son.

Providence. No, providence. Providence.

Well... Right, collector.

Don't worry about providence.

Just don't make me do something I might regret, son.

What the hell's that?

I thought you said there wasn't a border post here.

Well, there wasn't.

Not on the map, anyway.

Take it easy.

Use that, and that'll cut us both to shreds.

First time in my life I had a danger.

What's the matter?

Hey, Prince.

Archaeologist.

Yeah. So where do you think you're going?

Beersheba. Home?

Upper Moab.

What are you carrying into Israel?

Nothing.

Uh -huh.

Don't be ridiculous, man. Do you want to get us both killed? She's mine. Then

put it away, for God's sake. You can't take her away from me. I'd rather die

than give her up.

We'll come past.

What do we do now?

Let's get up before he changes his mind.

Stop the truck. What?

Stop the truck. I want to look back there. There's something wrong. We can't

stop here.

Just stop it, Miller.

Don't be ridiculous.

We're only a hundred meters from the Israeli barricades. There's something

wrong. At this point, they can follow us from here. I tell you, there's nothing

wrong. Get up!

Move!

Pippin. Here we go again.

We'll do our best not to bore you.

Archaeologist, huh?

Yeah.

So why are you using the smuggler's route?

Sorry?

What are you bringing into Israel?

Nothing.

We'll see.

You realize if you enter Israel now, you'll not be permitted to re -enter

Jordan? If I never see the place again, it'll be too soon.

All the same, we'd better check your truck.

Come.

Something wrong? That's what I'm going to find out.

It's stolen.

They bloody stole it!

China!

I don't know how the tail gave.

Bloody hell! He couldn't have done it by himself.

Remember how much he weighed.

Where has he gone?

God knows.

That's right,

Miller.

God knows.

Very nice what you brought us.

As if we didn't have enough of our own already.

All right, let's get him in the guardhouse.

Medic!

Medic!

Had to put your friend in a cell.

Poor Bart.

Still they give him a shot to calm him down.

Religious fanatic, huh?

What's that?

He keeps raving about Lot's wife.

Lot's wife?

You know the Old Testament?

The Lord gave Lot and his family time to escape before he destroyed the sinful

city of Sodom and Gomorrah. On condition they didn't look back.

But Lot's wife, she did.

She got turned into a pillar of salt.

Hey, hey, by the way, what were you carrying in the truck?

Would you believe Lot's wife?

No.
