All language subtitles for 08 - The Night Of The Egyptian Queen (11.15.1968)

( menacing theme playing )

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 fabled tomb
of Ho Tem Ra,

mighty pharaoh of Egypt
at its most glorious.

And all of this
is the original, is it?

Oh, yes, yes, of course.
( knocking on door )

Oh, that would be Mr. West
and Mr. Heisel,

the Egyptian representative.

What is this?

An additional shipment
for you, Mr. Logan.

Oh, I don't remember
any shipment due to arrive,

but, uh, all right.

Uh, set it over there,
please.

Fine.
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.
Yes.

Now here,
there is a very rare piece.

This scarab belonged
to the fabled wife of a pharaoh.

She was a queen.

Notice, if you will,

the particular design here
on the back.

( ominous theme playing )

Mr. West and Mr. Heisel?

Right. There you are.
Very good.

( dramatic theme playing )

( upbeat western theme playing )

( mysterious theme playing )

MAN:
And 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
loaned the exhibit,

you assured us that maximum
security would 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 words.

Pardon, Highness.

Highness is most distressed
by this calamity

and will retire now.

We shall continue
with this later.

But 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 to burden
you with more trouble.

But I think that you
should know, Mr. West,

that before I left Egypt,
a wedding date was set

between myself
and the prince, Ali Khadif.

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 is 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 our power

to recover the ruby.

I know that you will,
Mr. West.

Goodbye.

Good day.

This is catastrophic.

It's even worse than that.

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

Oh? 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!

( chiming )

Sorry, Mr. Finley.

That's a little warning device
I forgot to turn off.

You see, any time one
of the sealed windows

or doors is opened, that, uh...

I want you
to get that ruby back.

And within 24 hours.

Oh, Mr. Finley.

Your hat, sir.

Someone left a package for us.

Look familiar?

Is that a thank you note?

For the ruby.
How much do they want?

They want $50,000, Artie,
and they want it tonight,

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

( piano playing )

( men cheering )

Bartender.

Your name's West.
That's right.

This way.

Over here.

Here?
That's good.

MAN ( over speaker ):
Glad you could make it, West.

And 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've put Heisel's life

entirely in your hands.

Meet Ferret,

an associate with a couple
of unique talents.

One, he's mute.

And two, he can spot
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, i-it's here.

My associate has it.

Move, countermove, huh?

All right,
you can see the ruby.

But any more tricks
and your friend, Heisel,

will wind up with a very,
very sore throat.

Now, just take a look around

at the prettiest thing
in the room.

Her name is Rosie.

Luscious, isn't she?

From head to toe.

You agree?

I agree.

( grunts )

( Rosie screaming )

Hey!

( yelling )

MAN:
Yee-hoo!

( grunts )

( men clamoring )

MAN:
Yee-hoo!

( ominous theme playing )

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.
They were going to kill me!

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

The ruby.
Did you get it?

Oh, 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.

No, the ruby!
It has to be recovered.

It must be returned to--

To--

All right, Mr. West.

I'll go back to the hotel.

Al,
take him 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 the classical dagger
of the amber eye 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 did you get that?

This was sewed
into Ferret's coat lining.

Certainly makes it seem
important, doesn't it?

Artie, that knife
ought to be easy to trace.

Why don't you
give it a try?

Thanks a lot.
What are you gonna do?

I'm going to find
the girl.

( mysterious theme playing )

( ominous theme playing )

Jason.

JASON:
Now, now, Satchen.

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

Now...

Where is the ruby?

( dramatic theme playing )

( ominous theme playing )

( sitar music playing )

We are closed. So sorry.

Foo!

( in British accent )
Come off it, will you, mate?

You got more ruddy room here

than you can shake
a blinkin' marlinespike at.

You are mistaken.

Will you leave?

Peacefully?

All right, all right.

No need to get
in no uproar.

I, uh...

I, uh...

just came in to wet me
whistle anyway.

I grovel at your feet, sir.

Boy, that's real nice.

What for?

To atone for the stupidity
of that waiter.

There is always a table
for fine gentlemen.

Well,
that's a bit more like it.

You the owner here?

No, I am called Amalek Assin.

Won't you join me at my table?

A ruddy pleasure.

Well, thank you.

Cozy spot, huh?

( chuckles )

I won't be
needing that no more.

Oh, I must say
I envy you chaps,

the way you take
your pleasures.

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,

wind directing your sails,
ever onward, onward.

Oh, come off it, mate.

You're only talking that way
because you never had to

sail around the horn
without no fresh water,

and as murderous a scum
of a crew as ever set sail,

just as ready to cut
your gullet as look at you.

The sea...
Hmm.

The only thing
the sea ever gave me

was the clothes on me back,

and a wad of chewing tobacco
in me pocket.

And a knife
to cut your tobacco with, eh?

Huh?
Don't forget that.

Eh, you mean that?

Exquisite workmanship.

Do you mind?

Why, not at all.
Here. Help yourself.

( clears throat )

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

A thousand pardons, sir.

Arrack from my own private
stock for the gentleman.

Aye.

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 mean it.

Well,
it's of no importance, really.

May I pour
your arrack for you?

Why, sure. Thank you.

Here's to our
newfound friendship.

May it grow like
a banyan tree.

I'll drink to that.

( laughing )
Quite a puppet, beard.

You're a very
talented magician.

Ah, it's just a knack,
really, nothing more.

Thank you.

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

Here, watch this.

( laughing )

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.

( chuckling )

Cheers, mate.

( sighs )

Most refreshing.

I really could take another.

You could?
Yeah.

Well, so-- So--
So you shall then, all you want.

I-- I don't have the time,
matie, sorry.

But really...

There's a certain party
that's waiting for me,

if you take my meaning.

Well,
thank you just the same.

I really did enjoy
that little drink.

So long, matie.

( ominous theme playing )

You see, I also have
a toad sticker.

Hey, blimey, that's right.

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

AMALEK:
Where did you get this?

I found it.

In a friend.

He, uh, ran into it
by accident, you might say.

It must have given him pain
to part with it.

It gave him a lot more pain
meeting with it.

At the time of parting,

he was much too dead
to feel any sorrow.

Now, who are you, really?

Captain Harold's the name,

late of Her Majesty's frigate
the Northumberland.

Her Majesty and me, we, uh,
had a little disagreement.

I was forced to retire.
Without no pension.

( chuckles )

Well, I've certainly enjoyed
this chat, mates.

Well, 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 don't know what
you're talking about.

I just went in there
to wet my whistle.

Goodbye, captain.

I have no time to fritter

with anyone who
imagines me a fool.

That's a ready shame,

me with that Persian 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'll what?
You'll do me in?

It's the last time
you'll ever see that stone.

( knocking on door )

( whispering indistinctly )

I will give you $50,000

if you will deliver
the ruby to me here.

Fifty thousand?

Can't you make
it a little more?

Fifty thousand.

But it must be
within three hours.

Well...

That'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.

Well,
given the alternatives,

I might just
put myself out a little.

( menacing theme playing )

( mysterious theme playing )

( action theme playing )

Stubbornness is a...

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.

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.

And 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 mine.

( mysterious theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

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's the honest truth!

That window was closed before.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( Rosie screaming )

( action theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

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 will
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.

( mysterious theme playing )

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.

It can stay lost.

You're, uh, probably tired,
Rosie.

Boy, I am.

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

Get some rest.

There you go.

Thank you.

She's a pretty little
girl, isn't she?

Pity she's such a liar.

Yeah, isn't it?

Hey, Artie,
you never told me.

Where were you?

In the Pleasure Palace
of Arabia, Port Said.

From there,
two very obliging gentlemen

took me to see
Fifi La Grande.

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,

it wouldn't bring
more than $2,000.

Artie, maybe-- Maybe they have
the same motive as Jason,

they're 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 got to be
the problem.

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

( chuckling )

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 some
startling information.

( alarm chiming )

Looks like Rosie's
not so tired after all.

( menacing theme playing )

Is this what you're
looking for, Rosie?

( mysterious theme playing )

It will take weeks
to thaw.

JASON:
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.

Grab him!

( suspenseful theme playing )

Get him!

You'll catch your death
of cold, my love.

Remember, Mr. West,

things always get darkest

before they go
completely black.

You two wait for me outside.

( groans )

( ominous theme playing )

ROSIE:
What does that mean?

It means we're either going
to die from a lack of oxygen,

or we're going
to freeze to death.

( dramatic theme playing )

( ominous theme playing )

We're trapped.

And there's not a living soul
who even knows we're here.

Amalek will
be back soon.

He said that you
should wait.

Thanks, mate.
I'll do that.

What's going on here?

A game of chance?

That's a strange-looking game.

How's it played?

You have never
played it before?

Can't say as I have.

Then we will show you.

Oh, well, thank you.

Thank you.
That's very kind of you.

I'm always in the market,
so to speak,

for a new kind of game.

Now what's the game?

These numerals here...

( ominous theme playing )

What's the matter?

There's not enough
oxygen left.

I'm going to have
to shorten the fuse.

( action theme playing )

( gasps )

Who did it?

I've got a good idea Artemus is
in a lot of trouble right now.

Well, rum luck, mates,

Although I certainly have
enjoyed learning this game.

( chuckling )

Oh, yes, you have very
good taste, my good man,

very good, indeed.

For a man who does not
know how to play,

you played very well.

Ain't you never heard
of beginner's luck?

AMALEK:
Yes, and yours just ran out.

Well, you have the ruby,
Captain Harold?

Indeed, I do.

So, so, so,
give it to me.

I've been giving
this matter some thought,

and I must say that I can get
a better offer

from the head man.

There is no one else.

Oh, no.

I know hired help
when I see it.

The head man or no deal.

No deal.

Wait a minute. Take your
Persian hands off of me, you!

Mm-hmm.

I have a ruby also,
Captain Harold.

Yeah, well,
that one's 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 the time.

Well, it'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...

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

My friend, that is a fact

which you will carry
with you to the grave.

( action theme playing )

Artie.
I'm fine.

They've got the ruby.

I know, and they killed
our friend Jason to get it.

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.

I think we got just about
half an hour to get there.

( ominous theme playing )

Out with those lights!

I'd drop that knife
if I were you.

It will be too late!
It will be too late!

( sobbing )

HEISEL:
I curse you!

Years I've waited for tonight.
Years!

Only to have
everything ruined.

You stupid fools!

Do you know what
this room conceals?

The treasure of Ho Tem Ra.

Very ingeniously protected.

Only when the moon
is in a certain position

is the location revealed.

Right, Heisel?

Yes.

Yes.

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

before the chance comes again.

Twelve years, 6 months, 4 days,

and 2 hours, to be exact.

And since you gentlemen

will probably still be
detained by then...

But how do you intend
to get the treasure?

You'd tear a priceless
monument apart?

No, I, uh,

I think I can figure out a way
to turn back the clock,

if I may return that jewel
to its rightful owner.

Now,
the angles of the mirrors

should duplicate exactly

the position of the moonlight

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,

through a concave mirror
pointed down

through the hole
on the statue's head,

and then increase it
with this parabolic magnifier,

we should be able to obtain
the proper intensity.

( mysterious theme playing )

They certainly protected
their treasures well.

Even Heisel
didn't realize how well.

All right, Amalek,
we're going in.

I must say,

the princess really looked
radiantly happy.

Artie, wouldn't you?

She got her prince,
her ruby back,

and $8 million.

Yeah,
that tends to make--

Oh, not again.

( paper tearing )

It's from the princess,
a present,

a token
of her appreciation.

ARTIE:
Oh, that's...

very magnanimous of her.
Beautiful.

You know, it's a shame,
Artie, but, um...

We can't keep it.
Mm-mm.

( alarm chiming )

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 going.

Thank you again
for saving my life.

Uh, 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.

Oh, take it.
Open your shop.

( mysterious theme playing )

No.

No, I can't accept it.

Rosie, please take it.
We insist.

All right,
I'll trade you for it.

Artie,
why didn't you search her?

You told me not to.

( triumphant theme playing )

( upbeat western theme playing )
