you know it's the antiquity of all this that gives me the chills the knowledge

that it all goes back to the very dawn of western civilization even though i am

the curator of the museum it never fails to impress me The fable tomb of

Potemra, mighty pharaoh of Egypt at its most glorious.

And all of this is the original, is it? Oh, yes, yes, of course.

Oh, that'd be Mr. West, Mr. Heisel, the Egyptian representative.

What is this?

An additional shipment for you, Mr. Logan. Oh, I don't remember any shipment

to arrive, but, uh, all right.

Set it over there, please.

We'll unpack it tomorrow.

Thank you.

I must admit that of late I've been getting absent -minded.

Age comes to us all. All except the very old.

Now here... there is a very rare piece.

This scarab belonged to the favorite wife of Bell.

She was a new woman.

Notice, if you will, the figure that is down here in the back.

Mr. West and Mr. Heisel?

Right.

There you are.

Let me restate, Your Highness, my government's deepest apologies for this

unfortunate incident, but I can assure you... Apologies are a poor substitute

for the loss of a ruby, Mr. Finley.

When my government blown the exhibit, you assured us that maximum security

be exercised.

You must understand, sir, that it will take some time to arrange for the

recovery of the ruby.

Time, like my patience, is running short. Results are called for now, not

Pardon, Highness.

Your Highness is most distressed by this calamity and will retire now.

We shall continue with this later.

You may go on ahead. I will join you shortly.

You must not judge Mr. Heisel too harshly.

He's a faithful steward of the Egyptian government, and he easily becomes

emotional.

I know this must be a very difficult time for all of you, and I do not wish

burden you with more trouble.

But I think that you should know, Mr. West, that before I left Egypt, a

date was set between myself and the Prince Ali Kadif.

However, unless my dowry contains the ruby, the prince's father, the Khan...

He'll oppose the wedding.

And it is not just a wedding.

It will bring peace where there has always been war.

Happiness where there was only fear before.

Both the prince and I know the lasting benefits that peace can bring.

He's a very gentle, a very kind young man.

And you love him very much.

Your Highness, please be assured that Mr. Gordon and I will do everything in

power to recover the ruby.

I know that you will, Mr. West.

Who's that?

There.

This is catastrophic.

It's even worse than that.

Don't worry, Mr. Finley. We'll find that ruby.

No? How?

When? Where?

Why don't you let us worry about that, Mr. Finley?

I want an answer. Do you hear that?

I want an answer.

Sorry, Mr. Finley. That's a little warning device I forgot to turn off. You

any time one of the sealed windows or doors is open, that... I want you to get

that ruby back.

And within 24 hours.

Oh, Mr. Finley.

left a package for it.

Look familiar?

Was that a thank you note?

For the ruby. How much do you want? They want $50 ,000, Artie, and they want it

tonight at a place called the Blue Whale Bar on the waterfront.

Bartender. Your name's West. That's right.

This way.

Over here.

Here? That's good.

Glad you could make it, West.

On such short notice, too.

Well, I had nothing else planned.

I'm glad of that.

Now, if you'll just kindly...

Pull that drape back.

Call it an insurance policy if you like.

I put Heisel's life entirely in your hands.

Meet Ferret, an associate with a couple of unique talents.

about a phony bill blindfolded.

Which brings us to the object of this meeting.

The money.

I trust you brought it with you.

Now I'd like to see the ruby.

That's not very smart of you, West.

I didn't say that I had the money.

Oh, it's here.

My associate has.

Move, counter -move, huh?

All right, you can see it, Ruby.

But any more tricks and your friend Heisel will wind up with a very, very

throat.

Now, just take a look around at the print...

They were going to kill me.

Another second.

If it hadn't been for you, Mr. West, they'd have killed me.

You're all right now, Mr. Heisel. Why don't you just try and relax?

No, no, no, no, no. They were going to kill me.

Thank you, my friend. Thank you. Thank you.

The ruby.

Did you get it?

I'm sorry about the ruby.

Then I'll get it back myself if I have to search every inch of the city.

Mr. Heisel, the only place you're going right now, sir, is back to your hotel.

Now, throw me!

It has to be recovered!

It must be returned to... to...

All right, Mr. West.

I'll go back to the hotel.

Well, back to the hotel.

Quite a party. Well, you helped get it started. Artie, did you find the girl?

No. Looks like we're not the only ones after that ruby.

This is what was buried in Ferret's back.

You ever seen anything like this?

Yeah, in pictures.

It's a classical dagger of the Ambarai sect.

The palace guard of the old pharaohs. Artie, you are a walking encyclopedia.

Thank you. How about this?

Did you ever see anything like this, Key?

No, not even in pictures. Where'd you get that?

This was sewed into Ferret's coat lining.

Certainly makes it seem important, doesn't it? Mm -hmm. Artie, that knife

to be easy to trace. Why don't you give it a try?

Thanks a lot. What are you going to do?

I'm going to find the girl.

Jason!

No, no, Samson. There's no need to be rough with the lady.

No.

We are full.

Oh, sorry.

Full?

Come off it, will you, mate? You got more ruddy room here than you can shake

blinkin' marlin spike at.

You are mistaken.

Will you leave?

Peacefully?

All right.

All right.

No need to get no uproar.

Oh, yeah.

Just came in to wet me whistle anyway.

I grovel at your feet, sir.

That's real nice.

A four.

To atone for the stupidity of that waiter.

There is always a table for fine gentlemen.

Well, it should be more like it.

You the owner here?

No, I... Called Amalakasin.

Won't you join me at my table?

A ready pleasure.

Well, thank you.

Cozy spot, huh?

I won't be needing that no more.

I must say, I envy you chaps.

The way you take your pleasures.

Oh, no, it's you whom I envy, sir.

What, me?

To be a man of the sea as you are.

To be free, restless as the waves.

To journey from horizon to horizon.

The wind directing your sails ever onward.

Oh, come off it, mate. You're only talking that way because you never had

sail around the oar without no fresh water.

This murderous scum of a crew has ever set sail.

This is ready to cut your gullet. It's looking at the sea.

The only thing the sea ever gave me was clothes on my back and a water chewing

tobacco in my pocket.

And a knife to cut your tobacco with, eh?

Don't forget that.

You mean that?

Exquisite workmanship.

You might.

Well, no, no.

Here, help yourself.

Excuse me, young mate, but are you as thirsty as I am?

I was in pardon, sir.

A rack from my own private stock for the gentleman.

You know, I have an absolute passion for the handicraft of true artisans.

It does havoc with my pocketbook, but I'll buy this from you.

No, no, no.

It ain't much of a toad sticker, but I've grown rather fond of it.

Sorry, it's not for sale.

But I could offer you, say... Cut it, mate. I said it's not for sale, and I

it.

Well, so -so. It's of no importance, really.

May I pour your arrack for you?

Why, sure. Here.

Here's to our newfound friendship.

May it grow like a banyan tree.

I'll drink to that.

The prophet's dead.

He's a very talented magician.

It's just a knack, really. Nothing more.

Thank you.

Hey, so you like tricks, do you, eh?

Here, watch this.

That's a little trick that I learned while I was in Calcutta once for a brief

while. Taught to me by a magician.

Most interesting.

Cheers, mate.

I really could take another.

You could?

So you shall, and all you want.

I don't have the time, matey, sorry.

But really, there's a certain party that's waiting for me, if you take my

meaning.

But, thank you, just the same. I really did enjoy that little drink.

So long, matey.

You see, I also have a toad sticker.

Hey, blimey, that's right.

Well, it's a set, ain't it, eh?

Where did you get this?

I found it in a friend.

He ran into it by accident, you might say.

It must have given him pain to part with it. Gave him a lot more pain meeting

with it.

At the time of Parton, he was much too dead to feel any sorrow.

Now, who are you, really?

Captain Ull's the name.

Lady of Her Majesty's frigate, the Northumberland.

Her Majesty and me, we had a little disagreement. I was forced to retire

no pension.

Well, I certainly enjoyed this chat, mates.

But like I told you, I have this party waiting for me, so if you don't mind...

The Port Said was not the first time in which you displayed this knife.

You've gone to great trouble to find us.

Why?

I know what you're talking about. I just went in there to whip my whistle.

Goodbye, Captain.

I have no time to flitter with anyone who imagines me a fool.

That's a ready shame, me with that Parisian jewel on me hands.

What kind of jewel?

A rare ruby.

A right rare old ruby that come with that knife.

Where is it?

If you don't tell me where it is... You know what?

You do me in, it's the last time you ever see that sound.

I will give you $50 ,000 if you will deliver the ruby to me here.

$50 ,000?

Can't you make a little more?

$50 ,000.

But it must be within three hours.

Well, it's a right short time, mate. What if I can't make it by then?

Then I assure you, your knife will be returned to you.

View of the alternatives.

I might just put myself out there, people.

Stubbornness is an admirable trait, Rosie, my love.

I admire you for it.

But I pity you the consequences.

Now, where is the ruby?

You have such a pretty face.

In fact, fear has even made it beautiful.

It would be such a shame.

Now, what did you do with it?

You'll put nails in my coffin before I tell you.

Well, it would grieve me for it to have to come to that, Rosie.

You're being very stupid, you know.

You see, I know why you won't answer my questions. It's because that dummy

ferret was killed tonight.

God should take your own tongue for calling him that.

In his own way, he said more than you'll ever say.

He was a kind, good -hearted man.

He was like a father to you, I know that.

Yes.

And if he hadn't been mixed up with you, he'd be alive today. Yes, well, this is

all very touching.

Also very taxing.

Now, where is that ruby?

You'll be gone to meet your friend the devil before I tell you.

You've just made it necessary to make the acquaintance of a little pet of

All right, Jason, you win.

The ruby fell off my foot while I was running.

I don't know where it is.

That's the honest truth.

Unfortunately, I don't believe you, Rosie.

You're lying.

Now, where is it, Rosie?

I swear I don't know where it is.

That window was closed before.

I think you'd better drop that gun, Mr. West.

Now, why should I do that?

He shoots me, I'm going to shoot you.

Sounds pretty unpleasant to me.

I take it you have a plan in mind?

You and your boys just stay right here.

I like that.

I leave with the girl.

Your life and hers for mine.

That's a fair trade.

Somehow, Mr. West, I get the feeling we'll meet again.

After saving me from Jason Starr, if I knew where the ruby was, I'd tell you.

It had to have fallen off my foot.

I was in such a panic, I don't know where.

And I don't care.

It only brought unhappiness.

You can stay lost.

You're probably tired, Rosie.

Oh, I am.

Why don't you just lie down and take a nap?

Get some rest.

Thank you.

Isn't she? Pity she's such a liar.

Yeah, isn't she?

Hey, Artie, you never told me.

Where were you?

The Pleasure Palace of Arabia, Port Said.

And there, two very obliging gentlemen took me to see Fifi LeGrand.

It's not what you think. She happens to be on a theatrical poster at the end of

a blind alley outside the Port Said.

Or at least it was a blind alley until one of them touched Fifi's tightrope.

The one I talked to was second in command.

The leader was in there somewhere, but he was hidden in the back room.

You make a deal?

They offered me $50 ,000 if I brought them the ruby.

I haven't been able to figure that out.

Why?

I had a chance to examine that stone back in the museum, Jim. That's a third

-rate ruby.

That stone on the open market wouldn't bring more than $2 ,000.

Artie, maybe...

Maybe they have the same motive as Jason in trying to blackmail the government.

Yeah, maybe.

But then why the deadline?

I mean, they had to have the ruby inside of three hours.

That's going to be the problem.

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Artie, why the deadline?

And why are they willing to pay so much for something that's worth so little?

I don't know, but I figure the answer has to be in one of these books.

I've been doing some research on the Tomb of Kings, Jim. I've come up with

startling information.

Looks like Rosie's not so tired after all.

Is that what you're looking for, Rosie?

It'll take weeks before.

Now, that's what I call being real helpful, Mr. West.

The ruby?

It would be a pity for a bullet to ruin those fine clothes, Mr. West.

All right, in there, both of you.

Don't catch your death of cold, my love.

Remember, Mr. West, things always get darkest before they go completely black.

Wait for me outside.

What does that mean?

It means we're either going to die from lack of oxygen or we're going to freeze

to death.

We're trapped and there's not a living soul even knows we're here

Amalek

will be back soon.

He said that you should wait.

Thanks, right? I'll do that

What's going on here?

Game of chance?

Strange looking game.

How's it played?

You have never played it before.

Can't say so, eh?

Then we will show you.

Oh, well, thank you.

Hey, it's me, Connor.

Always in the market, so to speak, for a new kind of game.

I won't sit down.

These numerals here.

What's the matter?

There's not enough oxygen left.

I have to shorten it.

Who did it?

I've got a good idea, Arden. This is in a lot of trouble right now.

Hey, rum luck, mates.

Although I certainly have enjoyed learning this game.

Oh, yes, you have very good taste, Michael. Very good indeed.

For a man who does not know how to play, you play very well.

Why, ain't you never heard of beginner's luck?

Yes, and yours just ran out.

Captain Hull? Indeed I do.

So, so, so. Give it to me.

I've been giving this matter some thought.

I must say that I can get a better offer from the Ed Man.

There is no one else.

Oh, no.

I know how to help when I see it.

The Ed Man are no deal.

No deal.

Take your perishing hands off of me, Ed!

be also Captain Hull. Well, that was a fake.

I think it's you who are the fake.

You know, it would be interesting to find out who you are really.

I have the means, but unfortunately not at the time.

Well, that's a pity.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to keep you from any prior engagement.

Nor would I want you to miss any golden opportunity.

It's been waiting around for over 3 ,000 years.

My friend, that is a fact which you will carry with you to the grave.

They've got the ruby.

I know, and they killed our friend Jay so you can get it. Well, how obliging of

them. Is Rosie all right?

Yeah, I sent her back to the hotel.

Do you have any idea where they're going? Yes, I do.

We've got just about half an hour to get there.

The treasure of Ho -Tem Ra.

Very ingeniously protected.

Only when the moon is in a certain position is the location revealed.

Right, Hysel?

Yes.

Yes.

But then you must also know that it will be another 12 years before the chance

comes again.

12 years, 6 months, 4 days and 2 hours to be exact.

And since you gentlemen will probably still be detained by then.

you intend to get the treasure?

You tear a priceless monument apart?

I think I can figure out a way to turn back the clock if I return that jewel to

its rightful owner.

The angles of the mirrors should duplicate exactly the position of the

a few minutes ago.

You fool.

Don't you think I've tried everything?

Reflected moonlight is too weak for it. Yes, but if we reflect true moonlight

from a concave mirror pointed down through the hole in the statue's head

then increase it with this parabolic magnifier, we should be able to obtain

proper... intensity.

They certainly protected their treasures well.

Even Heisel didn't realize how well.

All right, Amalek, we're going in.

I must say, Princess really looked radiantly happy.

Artie, wouldn't you? She got her prince, Ruby back, and $8 million.

Yeah, that tends to make...

It's from the princess present token of our appreciation

animus of her. Beautiful.

Now, it's a shame, Marty, but we can't keep...

Rosie. Now, before you go jumping to any conclusions, I can explain everything.

I didn't come to steal from you.

I just came back for my things.

I left them here the other night.

You can search me if you don't believe me.

No, that's all right.

Then I'll be gone.

Thank you again for saving my life.

But, Rosie.

What will you do now?

I'll find something.

What? Dancing in some bar?

If I have to.

I want to be a seamstress.

But no one would hire me knowing what I've been.

I've tried before.

That's why I wanted the ruby.

With it, I could have opened up my own store.

Still, after all the trouble I've caused you, I shouldn't be burdening you with

my problems.

Bye.

Rosie.

Open your shop.

No.

No, I can't accept it.

Rosie, please take it. We insist.

All right.

I'll trade you for it.

Hardy, why didn't you search her? You told me not to.
