King Solomon's Mines (1937) Movie Script
[Quartermain]
KING SOLOMON'S MINES--
LIKE MANY OTHERS, WELL...
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THEM.
IN THOSE DAYS, AFRICA WAS A
LAND OF MANY ROMANTIC LEGENDS.
IT HAD A VAST,
UNEXPLORED INTERIOR.
I WAS A HUNTER AND IT WASN'T
UNTIL THE YEAR 1881
THAT I LEARNT THAT THE MINES
WERE A STARK REALITY.
I SAY "WERE" BECAUSE THEY
NOW LIE BURIED UNDER A MILLION
TONS OF ASHES AND LAVA.
AT THE TIME I'M SPEAKING OF,
DIAMONDS HAD BEEN
FOUND IN KIMBERLEY.
MANY ADVENTUROUS SPIRITS
FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD...
YOU'VE STRUCK
LUCKY AGAIN, RED.
YES.
YOU CAN COUNT YOUR
MONEY TOMORROW.
I'LL HAVE 5 POUNDS
ON ACCOUNT TO
GET DRUNK WITH.
[Laughing]
GET YOUR BACKS TO
THE WALL, THE WHOLE
BOILING LOT OF YOU.
DON'T SHOOT, BOYS.
IT ISN'T A HOLD-UP.
I'M JUST TENDING
MESELF AND THE
TREASURES OF ARABIE.
CAST AN EYE OVER THAT,
ME BOY, AND SEE WHAT
YOU MAKE OF IT.
WHAT HAVE
YOU FOUND?
A HOUSE, CARRIAGE
AND PAIR FOR
ME DAUGHTER
AND THE LIFE OF
RILEY HEREAFTER
AND EVERMORE.
DID YOU EVER
SEE THE LIKE?
A NICE PIECE OF
CRYSTAL, O'BRIEN,
BUT NO DIAMOND.
YOU DON'T
MEAN IT?
I'M SORRY,
MISS KATE.
THAT'S BAD LUCK,
PATRICK, BAD LUCK.
BAD LUCK NOTHING.
I WAS ONLY HAVING
A JOKE WITH YOU.
COME ON, GIRL.
[Donkey braying]
TRY AGAIN, PATSY.
DEVIL I WILL.
I SPURN THE DIAMOND
FIELDS UNDER ME SHOES.
IF WE COULD ONLY GET
TO THE COAST, I COULD
GET A JOB TEACHING.
AND WOULD
YOU LIKE IT?
I WOULD NOT.
[O'Brien]
OF COURSE
YOU WOULDN'T.
LISTEN, THERE WAS A
MAN IN THE BAR LAS NIGHT FROM THE CONGO.
HE SAYS THERE'S
A FORTUNE IN IVORY.
THERE'S BEEN A FORTUNE
IN EVERYTHING WE'VE TRIED,
BUT IT WASN'T US
WHO FOUND IT.
FROM NOW ON, WE'LL BE DECENT,
RESPECTABLE CITIZENS,
AND WE'RE GOING TO THE COAST
BEFORE I CHANGE ME MIND.
HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE WE?
LESS THAN A POUND
AND ALL OUR TRAPS
ARE IN THE PAWNSHOP.
WHAT'S THAT
YOU HAVE?
FOR YOU, A GIFT I
BOUGHT TO CELEBRATE OUR
MAGNIFICENT DISCOVERY.
A SHAMROCK!
FOR LUCK.
IT DIDN'T
COST A THING.
I KNOW WHAT
IT COST.
THERE WERE TWO
IN MULLIGAN'S STORE.
HERE'S THE
OTHER FOR YOU.
KATHY, ME GIRL,
THERE WAS NEVER
ANYTHING TO BEAT IT.
WITH A BIT OF SHAMROCK
APIECE, THERE'S NOTHING ON
EARTH CAN HOLD US DOWN.
LOOK!
GLORY BE TO GOD,
STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN.
ASK HIM FOR A LIFT
TO THE COAST.
IT'S A 5-WEEK JOURNEY.
IT'S A LOT TO ASK.
AND YOU CALL YOURSELF
AN IRISHMAN?
IT'S A FINE MORNING.
[O'Brien]
IT'S A FINE MORNING.
IS IT?
IT IS.
ARE YOU GOING
TO THE COAST?
NO, KITSFONTEIN.
WELL, THAT'S ALL
ON THE WAY.
WHOSE WAY?
OURS.
WE WERE WONDERING
IF YOU'D GIVE US A LIFT.
NO.
ME NAME IS KATHLEEN O'BRIEN,
AND THIS IS ME FATHER,
PATRICK O'BRIEN,
BACHELOR OF ARTS,
TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.
THANK YOU.
BACHELOR OF ARTS AT
TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN!
A DOWN-AND-OUT
FROM THE DIGGINGS, HUH?
WE'RE DOWN
BUT WE'RE NOT OUT.
[Quartermain]
YOU'RE OUT AS FAR AS
MY WAGON'S CONCERNED.
OH! SO YOU DON'T
APPROVE OF US?
I DON'T APPROVE OF TEARING
UP THE FACE OF THE
COUNTRY FOR GREED.
ME DAUGHTER IS
A GOOD COOK.
I HAVE A GOOD COOK.
ME FATHER'S A
WONDER TO TALK.
YEAH, HE WOULD BE.
[Kathy]
AND HE'S A LOVELY
RIFLE SHOT.
JUST THINK OF THE GAME
HE COULD GET FOR YOU.
[Laughter]
WHAT'S FUNNY
IN THAT?
QUARTERMAIN, BEST
HUNTER IN AFRICA.
THAT ENDS IT.
IT DOES NOT.
MR. QUARTERMAIN,
YOU NEEDN'T TAKE US
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO,
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT IN
YOUR PRECIOUS SOLITUDE:
ME FATHER'S OWN SISTER
IS DYING IN KILKENNY
AND IF THEY NEVER MEET
THIS SIDE OF THE GATES,
'TIS YOU THAT WILL
HAVE PREVENTED THEM.
JUMP UP.
[Spiritual singing]
HOW MUCH LONGER?
ANOTHER 10 DAYS.
LOOK!
[Kathy]
AH, THE PRETTY CREATURE.
YOU STARTLED HER.
MAYBE SHE KNOWS
THAT IN 10 DAYS
YOU'LL BE AFTER
HER WITH YOUR
MURDERING GUNS.
I'LL GET YOU
A KNIFE.
YOU DON'T
LIKE HUNTING?
NO, I DO NOT.
NEITHER DO I.
THEN WHAT DO YOU HUNT FOR?
A LIVING. IT PAYS ME
TO RUN HUNTING TRIPS.
I'VE GOT 2
CLOWNS WAITING
FOR ME NOW.
THERE MUST BE A LOT
OF MONEY IN HUNTING.
I'VE BEEN THINKING OVER WHAT
THAT FELLA SAID ABOUT IVORY.
HAVE YOU HAD
ANY EXPERIENCE
IN TRACKING GAME?
HE ONCE TOOK PART
IN A BADGER HUNT,
BUT THE BADGER ESCAPED.
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN DO
TILL YOU TRY.
WHILE YOU'RE TRYING,
YOUR POOR SISTER'S
PEACEFULLY PASSING
AWAY IN KILKENNY.
ALAN QUARTERMAIN, IT WAS A
LIE ABOUT ME FATHER'S SISTER.
I KNOW, I'VE MET
THE IRISH BEFORE.
I'M GLAD YOU OWNED UP.
AND WHY
SHOULDN'T SHE?
SHE'S GONNA
SETTLE DOWN AND
TEACH SCHOOL.
YOU'RE GOING
TO SETTLE DOWN?
OF COURSE
I AM.
I SUPPOSE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING
IN THE IVORY TRADE IS THERE?
IF YOU ASK ME, THERE ISN'T A
PIN TO CHOOSE BETWEEN YOU.
THERE'S A WAGON
ACROSS THE RIVER.
NO. ANTELOPE
PROBABLY.
I'M SURE
IT'S A WAGON.
CAN'T BE.
AND WHY NOT?
THERE'S NOTHING
ACROSS THAT
RIVER BUT DEVILS.
THAT'S WHAT
THE NATIVES SAY.
IT'S UNEXPLORED LAND,
DESERT PROBABLY.
IT MAY BE THE DEVIL'S,
BUT I CAN SEE A WAGON.
COME ON!
[Shouting]
TAKE THIS.
WATER, QUICK!
WHOSE WAGON IS THIS?
HE'S NOT
ABLE TO TALK.
IT'S THE
DESERT.
INSIDE.
[Man whispering]
[Shouting in foreign language]
THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
THEY'RE LOOKING
AFTER HIM.
THE OTHERS RAN AWAY IN
THE NIGHT MANY DAYS AGO.
THE FEAR WAS ON THEM.
SURE, THE DEVIL.
HE FELL ILL.
WE COULD NOT
REACH THE NORTH.
HELP HIM
BACK TO CAMP.
I TURNED BACK.
HE DOES NOT KNOW.
LET ME GO ON.
OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU CAN'T GO ON.
YOU ARE ILL.
DO I CARE IF I AM ILL?
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GOING BUT--
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE
I'M GOING BUT I TELL YOU,
YOU CANNOT FOLLOW.
I CROSSED THE DESERT.
AFTER THE DESERT, I FIND
KING SOLOMON'S MOUNTAIN.
AFTER THE MOUNTAIN,
I FIND KING SOLOMON'S MINES.
DIAMONDS.
SYLVESTRA, WHEN
YOU SEE ME AGAIN,
I'LL BE THE RICHEST
MAN ON EARTH.
SO, OUT OF THE WAY!
[Mumbling incoherently]
[Gasping]
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
THE MINES OF KING
SOLOMON OVER THE DESERT.
IS IT TRUE?
TRUE, WE HAVE
HEARD OF THE MINES.
[Quartermain]
GET ME SOME WATER.
[Speaking Kukuana]
ALL THE JEWELS OF OPHRAH
AND NO ONE EVER DISCOVERED
WHERE OPHRAH WAS.
THAT'S WHERE
IT IS MAYBE.
[Quartermain]
KATHY! MY
MEDICINE CHEST.
ALL RIGHT.
[Speaking Kukuana]
WHAT'S THAT YOU HAVE?
A MAP.
LOOK, 300
YEARS OLD.
HE SAID A MAN
WENT THERE AND
NEVER CAME BACK.
LOOK, THE WAY
ACROSS THE DESERT
AND HERE, KING SOLOMON'S
MOUNTAIN AND THE MINE.
THE JEWELS OF OPHRAH,
THE GREATEST TREASURE
IN THE WORLD!
NOW, THAT MAP IS HIS.
YOU HAD NO RIGHT
TO TAKE IT.
I KNOW, BUT IF HE
LIVES WE WON'T USE IT,
AND IF HE DOESN'T,
I'LL SEEK THE TREASURE
MESELF AND I'LL HAVE
MASSES SAID FOR HIS SOUL.
THE SHAMROCK! I SAID
IT'D BRING US LUCK.
[Quartermain]
KATHY!
I'M COMING.
DIG A GRAVE.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Chanting]
ALL OVER?
GOD REST HIS SOUL.
KATHY ASLEEP?
IT MUST BE TERRIBLE TO
DIE ALONE IN THE DESERT
WITHOUT YOUR FOLKS.
TERRIBLE.
WHAT DID YOU
THINK OF THE MAP?
HOW DID YOU GUESS?
I KNOW HUMAN
NATURE WHERE
TREASURE'S CONCERNED.
WHERE'S THE HARM?
I RETURNED IT.
AFTER TAKING A COPY.
WILL YOU BE
SENDING THE MAP
TO HIS FOLKS?
AND PROVOKE
SOMEBODY ELSE
TO LOSE HIS LIFE?
BESIDES, HE HAS NO FOLKS.
HAVE YOU LOOKED OVER IT?
DO YOU THINK IT'S GENUINE?
IT'S UNEXPLORED COUNTRY.
NOBODY KNOWS.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAN
WHO MEANS TO KNOW.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA
TAKE THAT GIRL--
WHAT DO YOU
TAKE ME FOR?
I'M HER FATHER,
NOT A MURDERER.
I SHALL GO ALONE.
IN ALL ME LIFE, I MAY
NEVER GET ANOTHER
CHANCE LIKE THIS.
OF DYING?
OF FINDING AN EXCUSE
FOR HAVING BEEN BORN.
YOU'LL THINK ME A CASUAL
KIND OF A MICK, WHO
DOESN'T CARE A CRUST
IF I'VE A SHILLING IN ME
POCKET TO BUY A MEAL FOR ME
OWN FLESH AND BLOOD,
BUT IT'S THE WAY
WE IRISH ARE,
TO TAKE OUR TROUBLES
WITH A SMILE IN OUR TEETH
WHILE UNDERNEATH,
THERE IS DEEP SHAME
IN ME HEART.
DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I OWE TO THAT CHILD
ASLEEP THERE?
I DO KNOW AND HERE
IS WHERE I MEAN TO PAY
THAT DEBT IN FULL.
WITH YOUR LIFE, HUH?
IF GOD WILLS IT,
WITH ME LIFE.
HOW DO YOU PROPOSE
TO MAKE THE JOURNEY?
HASN'T PROVIDENCE
SENT ME A TEAM OF OXEN?
AND A WAGON, AND STRENGTH
AND PURPOSE TO CARRY ME
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH?
YOU KNOW, O'BRIEN,
THERE'S ONLY ONE KIND OF MAN
THAT IS USELESS TO ARGUE WITH.
AND THAT IS?
A FOOL.
EH.
[Men speaking Kukuana]
INKOOSI, OUR WAGON,
WHERE IS IT?
I'LL TAKE YOU ON.
AT LEAST YOU'LL BE SURE
OF FOOD AND A WAGE.
KATHY, WAKE UP!
I DO NOT WORK FOR
MONEY AND YOU DO
NOT GO MY WAY.
[Quartermain]
KATHY!
ALL RIGHT.
ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,
HE'S GONE AFTER
THE TREASURE.
I KNOW.
WITHOUT ME.
ME, WHO LAY DREAMING
OF THE WAY WE'D GO TOGETHER.
DID YOU EVER HEAR
OF SUCH A THING?
[Quartermain]
HURRY UP,
THEY'RE STARTING.
YOU'RE HEADING THE WRONG WAY.
AREN'T WE GOING
AFTER ME FATHER?
NO.
BUT--
PUT ON YOUR BOOTS
AND GET INTO THE WAGON.
I TOLD YOUR FATHER
I'D LOOK AFTER YOU.
YOU KNEW HE WAS GOING
AND YOU LET HIM GO BY HIMSELF.
ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,
WILL YOU TAKE ME AFTER
ME FATHER, PLEASE?
WE'LL LOOK FOR
THE MINES TOGETHER.
AND WHEN WE FIND THEM,
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SHARE
AND MORE, MUCH MORE.
DOESN'T A FORTUNE
MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
ALL RIGHT, IF YOU WON'T
TAKE ME IN YOUR WAGON
I'LL GO ON ME OWN 2 FEET.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
I DID.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
SAY SOMETHING?
[Quartermain]
BECAUSE YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO DO IT.
THE INKOOSIKAS GOES
ACROSS THE RIVER.
YES, I DO.
WHAT BUSINESS IS IT
OF YOURS?
THE INKOOSIKAS HAS
THE MAP. I GUIDE HER.
THE MAP'S IN MY WAGON.
NO ONE'S GOING
ACROSS THE RIVER.
KATHY, GET INTO
THAT WAGON.
GET INTO THAT WAGON!
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I HAVE MANY NAMES.
ONE'LL DO.
UMBOPA.
WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?
YOU'RE AFTER
DIAMONDS.
WHITE MEN CARE
FOR DIAMONDS.
THEN WHY DO YOU
WANT TO GO NORTH?
MOVE UP.
[Speaking Kukuana]
NOW, LOOK HERE, UMBOPA.
IF YOU WON'T TAKE SERVICE
WITH ME, I DON'T WANT YOU
HANGING ABOUT MY CAMPS.
[Speaking Kukuana]
THAT FELLA'S
UP TO NO GOOD.
ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,
I'LL NEVER SPEAK
TO YOU AGAIN. NEVER!
I'M USED TO SILENCE.
[Shouting]
[Man speaking
Kukuana]
[Quartermain
speaking Kukuana]
MY CLIENTS ARRIVED
LAST NIGHT.
IT'LL BE QUITE NICE
TO HAVE SOMEBODY
TO TALK TO.
GEAR IN HERE. WE'LL
USE THIS WAGON.
HOW ARE YOU,
QUARTERMAIN?
HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
I'M AFRAID I KEPT
YOU WAITING.
THIS IS
MISS O'BRIEN.
[Henry]
HOW DO YOU DO?
DID YOU HAVE
A GOOD TREK?
NO, I DID NOT.
DON'T MIND MISS
O'BRIEN, SIR HENRY.
SHE'S STRONG AND SILENT.
THE MAP IS
IN THE WAGON.
HOW DID YOU
GET HERE?
INKOOSIKAS DOES NOT
FORGET HER PURPOSE?
GOOD WILL INSISTS
ON HAVING HIS BATH.
NO REASON FOR
BEING UNSANITARY,
EVEN IN AFRICA.
QUITE RIGHT.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU
BOTH AT DINNER.
YES. HOW DO YOU GE OUT OF THIS THING?
YOU BETTER ASK
SIR HENRY TO
TIP YOU OUT.
RIGHT.
NO, NO--
[Mumbling]
SIR HENRY.
SIR HENRY CURTIS.
SIR HENRY CURTIS.
WILL YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?
I'M IN TERRIBLE TROUBLE.
MR. QUARTERMAIN WANTS ME
TO SEND THE WAGON NORTH
SO THAT THE BOYS CAN HAVE
CAMP READY WHEN YOU ARRIVE
BUT THEY WON'T OBEY ME.
MUTINY, EH?
GLORY BE TO GOD,
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PIG.
COMMANDER GOOD,
ROYAL NAVY.
RETIRED.
I'LL GO FETCH
QUARTERMAIN.
AH, NO.
PLEASE DON'T.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO
KNOW I'VE HAD TROUBLE.
WILL YOU
SPEAK TO THEM?
OF COURSE I'LL
SPEAK TO THEM.
BY THE WAY,
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
STRONG AND SILENT.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE
MR. QUARTERMAIN.
HE'S A TERRIBLE LIAR.
GENTLEMEN, THE QUEEN.
GOD BLESS HER.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION,
I'LL LIGHT UP.
AND WITH YOURS
I'LL RUN OVER A FEW
OF MY PROPOSALS.
I TAKE IT YOU WANT
TO GET A SABLE
ANTELOPE, SIR HENRY.
IS MISS O'BRIEN OFTEN
AS LATE AS THIS?
SHE'LL SHOW UP
WHEN SHE'S HUNGRY.
SHE SEEMED TO ME
TO BE A CAPABLE
YOUNG PERSON.
HMM--YES, CAPABLE
OF ANYTHING.
SHE'D HAVE STOLEN ONE
OF MY WAGONS IF I HADN'T
KEPT ME EYES OPEN.
[Quartermain]
ANYTHING WRONG?
I TAKE IT IT'S IN ORDER
FOR SIR HENRY TO TELL
YOUR WAGON BOYS TO
OBEY THE YOUNG LADY.
WITH THE RESULT THAT
YOUR WAGON IS NOW
PROCEEDING NORTH
TO ESTABLISH
A CAMP.
BUT SHE TOLD ME--
MY BOY, I'M AFRAID
YOU'RE THE VICTIM
OF A WOMAN'S WILES.
WE MUST GO
AFTER HER.
WE CERTAINLY MUST.
MY ONLY TOOTHBRUSH
IS IN THAT WAGON.
SHE HAS 3 HOURS START.
IT'LL BE 2 DAYS BEFORE
I GATHER A TEAM.
SHE TOLD ME THOSE BOYS
WERE MUTINOUS.
I'M AFRAID, SIR HENRY,
THAT IT'S MISS O'BRIEN
WHO IS MUTINOUS.
WILL YOU HAVE A
LITTLE MORE PORT?
I'M NOT AFRAID
I'M NOT AFRAID
WHY SHOULD I CARE
IF MY JOURNEY'S LONG
I'M SURE TO GET THERE
THOUGH MY JOURNEY'S LONG
MY TEAM AND MY WAGON
ARE STRONG
[Playing harmonica]
STRUGGLE ALONG
STRUGGLE ALONG
OXEN OF MINE

LA-DA-DA-DA
LA-DA-DA-DA
LA-DA-DA-DA
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA
DA-DA-DA-DA
DA-DA
[Quartermain] YOU'RE 9
MILES NORTH OF THE HILL,
HEADING FOR THE DESERT,
IN A STOLEN
WAGON.
AND WHAT'S LEFT
OF MY TROUSERS.
[Quartermain]
YOU'RE COMING
BACK TOMORROW.
MEANWHILE, COMMANDER
GOOD WOULD LIKE
HIS TOOTHBRUSH.
YES.
IF YOU WEREN'T A GIRL,
I'D GIVE YOU THE
HIDING OF YOUR LIFE.
ASHAMED OF YOURSELF?
BUT I'D DO IT AGAIN.
READY TO
COME BACK?
I'M NOT
COMING BACK.
I MADE UP ME MIND
TO GO AFTER ME FATHER
AND I'M GOING.
NOT IN MY WAGON.
I DON'T WANT YOUR
WAGON ANYMORE.
YOU CAN'T TAKE A WAGON
OVER THE DESERT BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY OXEN.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY
DRINK TOO MUCH.
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
I DID, INKOOSI.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
[Kathy]
I BROUGHT HIM.
LOOK, KATHY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THIS MAN'S
BEEN TELLING YOU,
BUT I GIVE YOU
MY WORD NO ONE CAN
CROSS THAT DESERT.
HOW DOES
THE INKOOSI KNOW?
I'M GONNA TRY.
I'M NOT AFRAID.
THE INKOOSIKAS
IS READY.
I'M IN CHARGE
HERE. CLEAR OUT!
WAIT, WE CAN'T
LET THESE 2
GO ALONE,
BUT WHY
SHOULDN'T WE
GO WITH THEM?
GOOD SUGGESTION.
SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
I WON'T HAVE IT.
NOBODY'S ASKING YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED
TO GO HUNTING.
YOU KNOW, HUNTING,
FISHING, ANYTHING WITH A
LITTLE ADVENTURE IN IT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MEN
DIE FOR LACK OF WATER?
THIRST, BURNING THIRST
THAT TURNS TO PAIN.
TORTURE, THEN
YOU GO MAD
AND THE SUN
KILLS YOU.
IMAGINATIVE
FELLOW, ISN'T HE?
QUARTERMAIN.
I'M SORRY OUR TRIP'S
HAD TO END LIKE THIS.
HOW DO YOU
MEAN "END"?
WE'LL BE AWAY
FOR SOME TIME.
CAN'T ASK YOU
TO WAIT FOR US.
SIR HENRY CURTIS,
I WAS ENGAGED TO
TAKE YOU UPCOUNTRY
AND TO BRING YOU
BACK TO THE BEST
OF MY ABILITY.
I HAPPEN TO BE A
MAN WHO RESPECTS
A CONTRACT.
I'M LINING
UP WITH THE
REST OF YOU.
YOU'RE A GOOD
FELLOW, QUARTERMAIN.
ON THE CONTRARY,
I'M A FOOL.
HOW ARE YOUR FEET?
ALL RIGHT.
HOW ARE YOURS?
FINE.
NICE ABOUT OUR FEET,
ISN'T IT?
ARE YOU REALLY GOING
ALL THROUGH THIS
JUST FOR DIAMONDS?
THE INKOOSI
SAYS SO.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
I'M ASKING YOU.
WHY IS
INKOOSI GOING?
BLESSED IF
I KNOW.
YOU'RE NOT ONE
FOR A BIT OF
GOSSIP, ARE YOU?
THE MOUNTAINS DON'T
SEEM TO GET ANY
NEARER, DO THEY?
NO, THEY DON'T,
DO THEY?
NO--NO, THEY--
NO, THEY DON'T.
FEELING BETTER?
MUST YOU KEEP
ON ASKING ME?
I NEEDN'T.
I'D SURE MISS IT
IF YOU DIDN'T.
HOW LONG WILL
THE WATER LAST?
TOMORROW.
IF I--
IF I DON'T GET
ANOTHER CHANCE,
I'M SORRY ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
WHAT ARE THOSE
BIRDS UP THERE?
[Umbopa]
ASSVOGELS.
THEY MUST BE TO LIVE
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.
WE CALL THEM
"THE BIRD THAT
SMELLS DEATH."
HUH? OH.
GOOD! COME HERE.
O'BRIEN'S WAGON.
GO BACK AND
KEEP HER TALKING.
FETCH THE OTHERS.
[Henry]
THAT'S THE LAST
RATION OF WATER.
HALF A BOTTLE EACH.
THAT'S GOOD, I--
I SEE BY THE MAP THAT
WE OUGHT TO GET TO PAN BAD
WATER BY MIDDAY TOMORROW.
WHY'S IT CALLED
"PAN BAD WATER"?
BECAUSE IN 300 YEARS
IT MAY HAVE DRIED UP.
OH...
OH, I SEE, YES.
GO ON,
DRINK IT.
WHAT'S THE
USE, CURTIS?
THERE'S NO POINT
IN HER SURVIVING US.
SAND! GO DOWN!
RUN!
[Wind whistling]
[Wind howling]
I SMELL WATER.
I SMELL WATER.
I SMELL WATER.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Shouting]
[Speaking Kukuana]
LOOK! THE MOUNTAINS
ARE NEAR!
[Umbopa]
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
TILL I'M HOLDING
THE CLOUDS IN MY HAND
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
TILL THE WORLD
IS BELOW WHERE I STAND
CLIMBING UP
TO THE LAND THAT I KNOW
MUST LIE OVER THAT MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
FOR MY HEART IS

BREAKFAST READY?
[Kathy]
NEARLY.
WE HAD MELONS FOR
BREAKFAST YESTERDAY.
WE DID.
AND MELONS
THE DAY BEFORE.
WE DID.
I SUPPOSE WE'RE GONNA
HAVE MELONS TODAY?
[Both]
WE ARE.
DON'T THE BIRDS
IN THIS COUNTRY
EVER LAY EGGS?
I WONDER HOW
FAR ME FATHER
IS AHEAD OF US?
YOU SURE HE
GOT THIS FAR?
OF COURSE I AM.
PATRICK O'BRIEN HAS
ALWAYS DONE WHAT HE
SET HIS MIND TO.
WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT IN THE DESERT?
SAND, MOSTLY.
DID YOU EVER
THINK OF ME?
YES...
YOU AND
THE SAND.
I'M GLAD OF THAT BECAUSE
YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF
ME IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
AM I?
I'M AFRAID YOU
CAN'T AVOID IT.
YOU SEE, WE'RE IN
UNINHABITED COUNTRY.
I HATE TO CONTRADICT
YOU BUT,
THERE'S A MAN
BEHIND THAT ROCK--
SEVERAL MEN.
THEY SEEM ANXIOUS
TO MEET US.
MUCH TOO ANXIOUS.
[Shouting in Kukuana]
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
THEY SAY, "WHAT MANNER
OF MAN IS THIS WITH THE
BEAUTIFUL WHITE LEGS,
"WHO GROWS HAIR ON
ONE SIDE OF HIS FACE
"AND CAN PLUCK HIS EYE
FROM HIS HEAD AND REPLACE
IT WHERE IT GROWS?"
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE'S TELLING THEM YOU ARE
WHITE GODS FROM THE SKIES.
YOU MEAN, ON ACCOUNT
OF MY LEGS?
I NEVER THOUGHT
THEY WERE AS GOOD
AS ALL THAT.
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE
THAT BETTER IF HE'D
BEEN AN IRISHMAN.
[Drum beating]
[Drums beating]
[Chanting]
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Man shouting]
[Chanting, drums beating]
[Shouting in Kukuana]
[Chanting and drumming]
THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE ABOUT FOR
AN UNINHABITED COUNTRY.
[Quartermain]
THIS IS A MILITARY CROWD.
I HOPE THE
COOKING'S GOOD.
THOSE ARE THE
SOLDIERS' QUARTERS.
THAT'S THE KING'S HUT.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND
WILLINGTON BARRACKS.
SO UNLIKE THE HOME
LIFE OF OUR DEAR
QUEEN, ISN'T IT?
SUPPOSE PATRICK
O'BRIEN'S IN THERE?
DON'T WORRY.
ME FATHER'S GONE
AFTER DIAMONDS.
KING SOLOMON'S MINES,
THAT'S WHERE
WE'LL FIND HIM.
IF THERE IS
SUCH A MINE.
[Speaking Kukuana]
I SUPPOSE HE SAYS
HE ISN'T IN.
HE SAID, "THE
TWALA, THE KING
"WILL SEE THE STRANGERS
WHO COME TO HIS LAND
AND CLAIM TO BE GODS."
[Cheering]
I DON'T LIKE THE
LOOK OF THEIR SPEARS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THEY THINK
WE'RE GODS.
I HOPE THE
TWALA DOES.
HEAD UP. IF HE
THINKS WE'RE AFRAID
ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN.
[Speaking Kukuana]
HA HA HA HA...
[Shouting]
WOULD IT DO ANY GOOD
IF I WHIPPED OFF MY
TROUSERS, DO YOU THINK?
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE ASKS,"WHY DO
THE GODS HONOR
HIS KINGDOM?
"IS IT THE WHITE
STONES THEY SEEK?"
DIAMONDS!
THERE IS A MINE.
TELL HIM YES.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE'S GONNA
TAKE US.
KING SOLOMON'S
MINES.
THE GREATEST
TREASURE IN
THE WORLD.
WITH ME FATHER
INSIDE FILLING
HIS POCKETS.
[Shouting orders]
[Crowd murmuring]
IT SEEMS THEY
ARE NICE FELLOWS
AFTER ALL.
I HOPE
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITH YOUR SHARE
OF THE MONEY?
IF WE GET OUT OF THIS,
GO BACK TO ENGLAND
AND KEEP SHEEP.
I THINK I'LL BUY MYSELF
A BATTLESHIP AND
REJOIN THE NAVY.
[Chanting]
SCARED?
OF COURSE
I'M NOT.
NOT VERY.
KING SOLOMON'S ROAD
AND THE SILENT
ONES TO GUARD IT,
BROKEN AND
OVERGROWN.
I WONDER HOW MANY
CIVILIZATIONS HAVE
PERISHED LIKE THIS ONE?
SOLOMON HAD
NOTHING TO DO
WITH IDOLS.
THE PHOENICIANS DID.
THEY WERE THE GREAT
TRADERS OF SOLOMON'S TIME.
PERHAPS SOME
PHOENICIAN RAN
THE MINE.
GAGOOL, THE WITCH
DOCTOR WHO LOOKS
AFTER THE MINES.
THESE PEOPLE
BELIEVE THAT SHE'S
100'S OF YEARS OLD.
WOULD YOU SAY
THAT SHE WAS
WELL-PRESERVED?
REMINDS ME
OF MY POOR OLD
AUNT HANNAH.
SHE CAME TO NO GOOD.
[Speaking Kukuana]
SHE ASKS WHY THE
WHITE MAN'S SERVANT
WALKS LIKE A PRINCE?
I'VE NOTICED IT
MYSELF, AN UNCOMMONLY
GOOD WALKER.
ASK HER IF SHE'S
SEEN A WHITE MAN.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Speaking Kukuana]
SHE HAS?
PERHAPS IT WAS
YESTERDAY,
PERHAPS IT WAS
100 YEARS AGO.
TIME HAS NO
MEANING TO HER.
[Rumbling]
THROUGH THAT DOOR,
SLAVES BROUGHT JEWELS
FOR THE QUEEN
OF SHEBA THOUSANDS
OF YEARS AGO.
AND PATRICK O'BRIEN
WENT IN TO FIND HIS
FORTUNE. COME ON.
CAREFUL,
INKOOSI.
TWALA DARE NOT HARM
YOU HERE. THE PEOPLE
THINK YOU GODS.
ONCE INSIDE,
HE HAS NO
ONE TO FEAR.
THE STONE
WILL ROLL BACK.
[Shouting]
COME AWAY.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Shouting]
[Rumbling]
GET OUT OF HERE!
GIVE ME THAT!
[Shouts]
KILL HIM,
YOU'LL HAVE
THE LOT ON US.
THEY'VE NEVER
SEEN A GUN
FIRED BEFORE.
[Crowd screaming]
I BET THAT
MADE HIM FEEL
PRETTY SILLY.
[Drums beating]
[Chanting]
OUR ONE CHANCE IS
TO ESCAPE BEFORE
THEY MAKE UP THEIR MINDS.
I'M AFRAID IT IS.
SOMEONE WILL
HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THE GUARD.
PITY, SEEMED
A VERY DECENT
FELLOW.
ALL RIGHT, BUT
I'M STOPPING HERE.
KATHY, BE SENSIBLE.
YOU CAN'T.
I CAME HERE
TO FIND ME FATHER.
THERE ISN'T A VESTIGE OF
PROOF THAT YOUR FATHER
EVER REACHED HERE.
HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY.
ME SHAMROCK!
BUT I--IT'S NOT--
IT IS HIS!
ME FATHER'S!
SO HE IS HERE.
NOW DO YOU WAN ME TO RUN AWAY?
WHERE DID YOU
FIND THIS?
ON THE WAY
TO THE MINE.
KATHY, YOU SAW WHAT
NEARLY HAPPENED TO US.
THIS PROVES THAT IT
MUST HAVE HAPPENED
TO YOUR FATHER.
IF YOUR FATHER
LOVED YOU AS MUCH
AS YOU LOVE HIM,
HE'D BE THE LAST ONE
TO WANT YOU TO STAY.
WOULDN'T HE?
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
I'M SORRY, KATHY.
AGREED, WE
LEAVE TONIGHT?
YES.
IT IS NOT AGREED.
YOU MUST STAY.
I'M IN CHARGE HERE.
I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE.
THAT WAS IN YOUR
COUNTRY. WE ARE
NOW IN MINE.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE.
EVERYWHERE, THE MEN
OF TWALA WATCH.
ONE STEP BEYOND THAT
DOOR AND A SPEAR
WILL PIERCE YOUR BACK.
HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT?
TOMORROW THE DRUMS BEAT,
THEY SMELL OUT THE EVILDOERS.
GAGOOL WILL PUT HER MARK
ON THE ENEMIES OF THE KING.
THEY DIE LIKE CATTLE.
LOOKS LIKE A RED-
LETTER DAY FOR ALL
OF US, DOESN'T IT?
YET THE PEOPLE ARE WEARY
OF WICKEDNESS AND BLOOD.
IF THERE WAS ONE TO LEAD THEM,
THEY WOULD RISE UP.
ISN'T THERE ONE?
PERHAPS HE COULD BE FOUND.
WHO ARE YOU?
THE MAN WHO LOOKS
FOR DIAMONDS AND
HANGS ABOUT YOUR CAMP.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.
ONCE THERE WAS
A KING IN THIS LAND,
IMOTU THE LOVED,
BUT HE FOUGHT
THE WICKED GAGOOL,
WHO IS OLDER THAN
THE MEMORY OF
THE OLDEST MAN.
FOR THAT, SHE MADE HIS
BROTHER TWALA THE ONE-EYED
KILL HIM WHILE HE SLEPT.
THE WIFE OF IMOTU
AND THE SON OF IMOTU
WERE DRIVEN INTO THE DESERT.
IT IS SAID THEY DIED.
IF THEY DIDN'T, THE
SON OF IMOTU SHOULD
BE KING AND NOT TWALA.
YOU ARE THE
SON OF IMOTU.
I AM THE
SON OF IMOTU.
[Drums beating]
[Whispering in Kukuana]
[Drums beating, chanting]
[Umbopa speaking Kukuana]
THE COMMITTEE
SEEMS UNANIMOUS.
I ALWAYS THOUGH THAT FELLOW HAD A SPOT
OF ROYAL BLOOD IN HIM.
YOU DON'T GET A SNAKE
ON YOUR STOMACH
FOR NOTHING, YOU KNOW.
IT IS AGREED.
TOMORROW AT
THE SMELLING-OUT
OF THE EVILDOERS,
THEY WILL LEAD
THE PEOPLE OF THE KUKUANA
AGAINST TWALA,
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
AND IN RETURN
I OFFER YOU YOUR LIVES
AND THE FREEDOM OF THE MINES.
FOR YOU, THE DIAMONDS, RICHES.
FOR YOU, ADVENTURE.
FOR YOU, THE HAPPINESS
OF THE INKOOSIKAS.
TODAY, YOU SAW
HOW TWALA TREATS STRANGERS.
IF YOUR FATHER IS ALIVE,
HE IS IN THE MINE.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
BEHIND TWALA
STANDS GAGOOL.
THE PEOPLE FEAR
HER MAGIC.
THEY WILL RISE ONLY
IF YOU SHOW THEM
A GREATER MAGIC.
YOU LIVE AMONG US.
YOU KNOW THAT THE
WHITE MAN HAS NO MAGIC.
I MUST HAVE MAGIC.
AND IF WE CANNOT
GIVE IT?
THE DRUMS WILL ROLL
AT THE SMELLING-OUT.
GAGOOL WILL GIVE THE SIGN.
THE KILLERS WILL SPEED
TO THE EVILDOERS.
THEY WILL BEAT US TO DEATH.
[Chanting, drums beating]
FUNNY TO THINK IT'S
DERBY DAY BACK HOME.
VERY FUNNY.
I HAD A BET
ON MANITOBA.
THERE'S NO SUCH HORSE.
THERE CERTAINLY IS.
I'VE GOT IT IN MY DIARY.
[Chanting]
HERE IT IS,
DERBY DAY, MANI--
BY JOVE! LOOK HERE!
"11:15. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF
THE SUN VISIBLE OVER
TENERIFFE, SOUTH AFRICA."
MAGIC!
GOOD, YOU'RE A GENIUS.
11:15. THAT OUGHT
TO SETTLE 'EM, EH?
IT'S A CHANCE.
IF WE CAN HOLD OUT TILL 11:15.
ARE YOU SURE IT'S
THIS YEAR'S DERBY?
OF COURSE, I WOULDN'T HAVE
HAD A BET ON LAST YEAR'S
DERBY THIS YEAR, WOULD I?
NO.

11:10.
[Drums beating]
[Drums beating faster]
HOW LONG BEFORE
THEY GET TO US?
A MATTER OF MINUTES.
[Drums beating faster]
[Man screams]
NO SIGN OF
THE ECLIPSE YET.
WE'RE NEXT.
I HOPE I'M RIGHT
ABOUT THE TIME.
GOD HELP US
IF YOU'RE NOT.

LOOK!
GAGOOL,

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!
FATHER!
FATHER!
FATHER!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
INDEED, I'M
NOT ALL RIGHT,
NOT AFTER
BREAKING ME LEG.
[Rumbling]
KATHY!
KATHY!
KATHY!
COME ON!
OF COURSE YOU WOULD
BREAK YOUR LEG
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.
HOW DO YOU
EXPECT ME
TO CARRY YOU?
YOU OLD DEVIL.
KATHY! KATHY!
COME ON, YOU CAN
GET THOSE LATER!
KATHY!
[Gurgling]
[Hissing]
DIDN'T I TELL YOU
HE'D GET HERE?
THANK GOD
YOU'RE SAFE.
OF COURSE
I'M SAFE.
SO THIS IS WHAT
PUT AN END
TO THE MINES.
THEY STUMBLED
UPON A VOLCANO.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THOSE SKELETONS?
MINERS TRYING TO ESCAPE
AND TRAPPED BY THE LAVA.
OH... HURRY
UP, CURTIS,
WILL YOU?
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Screams]
THIS IS
GOING, TOO!
COME ON!
TOO BAD THAT WHEN
WE GET TO A FORTUNE
IN DIAMONDS,
THE MOUNTAIN
SHOULD DECIDE
TO SIT DOWN ON IT.
IT DID NOT,
THEN.
I'VE A FORTUNE
HERE IN ME POCKET.
THERE'S ENOUGH
HERE FOR ALL OF US.
DIAMONDS ARE NOT MUCH USE
WHEN YOU'RE TRAPPED
BEHIND SOLID ROCK.
I DON'T WANT TO DEPRESS
YOU ANY FURTHER,
BUT I THINK THERE'S
GOING TO BE AN ERUPTION.
THAT FALL OF
ROCK, YOU KNOW?
VOLCANOES ARE
NERVOUS THINGS,
IT TAKES VERY LITTLE
TO UPSET THEM.
[Explosions]
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,
YOU'D BE QUIETLY SHOOTING
GAME IN THE SOUTH.
AND THEN YOU'D
HAVE GONE HOME
AND MARRIED SOME NICE GIRL
AND LIVED IN YOUR BIG HOUSE.
AND SLOWLY GROWN
OLD AND FAT AND
DISAGREEABLE,
AND ENDED UP A FEEBLE
OLD MAN WITH NO ONE
SORRY TO SEE YOU GO.
NO, I'D RATHER
DIE YOUNG.
STRANGE, I USED
TO HATE DYING.
I'D LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT
THINKING ABOUT IT, SCARED.
BUT WHEN YOU COME TO IT,
IT'S NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL.
[Rumbling]
[Explosions]
THERE'S ONLY
ONE THING I'M
SORRY ABOUT.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
SEEN IRELAND AGAIN,
THE GLEN OF ARMAGH
WHERE I WAS BORN,
WITH THE MOUNTAINS
RUNNING DOWN
TO THE LAKES.
WE WERE TO HAVE
GONE HOME NEXT YEAR.
YOU COULD HAVE
COME WITH US.
[Umbopa]
QUARTERMAIN!
[Echoing]
QUARTERMAIN!
[Echoing]
QUARTERMAIN!
LOOK!
IT'S MOVING!
GOOD IDEA BUT--
IT--IT'S BOUND
TO FALL ON US.
UMBOPA?
[Umbopa]
CURTIS, WE MUST
PUSH IT CLEAR.
READY?
RIGHT.
[Umbopa]
READY?
THIS TIME.
IT'S GONNA ERUPT!
STEADY.
GOT HIM?
[Rumbling]
COME ON!
HERE MY COUNTRY ENDS,
BUT 100 OF MY MEN
WILL LEAD YOU
ACROSS THE DESERT.
GO NOW, MY FRIENDS,
AND AT TIMES, REMEMBER HOW
WE STOOD SHOULDER TO
SHOULDER IN THE GREAT BATTLE.
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
TILL I'M HOLDING THE
CLOUDS IN MY HANDS
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
TILL THE WORLD IS BELOW
WHERE I STAND
CLIMBING UP
TO THE LAND
THAT I KNOW
MUST LIE OVER THAT MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
FOR MY HEART IS AWAY
IN THAT LAND
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
OH YOU MOUNTAIN
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
KING SOLOMON'S MINES--
LIKE MANY OTHERS, WELL...
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THEM.
IN THOSE DAYS, AFRICA WAS A
LAND OF MANY ROMANTIC LEGENDS.
IT HAD A VAST,
UNEXPLORED INTERIOR.
I WAS A HUNTER AND IT WASN'T
UNTIL THE YEAR 1881
THAT I LEARNT THAT THE MINES
WERE A STARK REALITY.
I SAY "WERE" BECAUSE THEY
NOW LIE BURIED UNDER A MILLION
TONS OF ASHES AND LAVA.
AT THE TIME I'M SPEAKING OF,
DIAMONDS HAD BEEN
FOUND IN KIMBERLEY.
MANY ADVENTUROUS SPIRITS
FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD...
YOU'VE STRUCK
LUCKY AGAIN, RED.
YES.
YOU CAN COUNT YOUR
MONEY TOMORROW.
I'LL HAVE 5 POUNDS
ON ACCOUNT TO
GET DRUNK WITH.
[Laughing]
GET YOUR BACKS TO
THE WALL, THE WHOLE
BOILING LOT OF YOU.
DON'T SHOOT, BOYS.
IT ISN'T A HOLD-UP.
I'M JUST TENDING
MESELF AND THE
TREASURES OF ARABIE.
CAST AN EYE OVER THAT,
ME BOY, AND SEE WHAT
YOU MAKE OF IT.
WHAT HAVE
YOU FOUND?
A HOUSE, CARRIAGE
AND PAIR FOR
ME DAUGHTER
AND THE LIFE OF
RILEY HEREAFTER
AND EVERMORE.
DID YOU EVER
SEE THE LIKE?
A NICE PIECE OF
CRYSTAL, O'BRIEN,
BUT NO DIAMOND.
YOU DON'T
MEAN IT?
I'M SORRY,
MISS KATE.
THAT'S BAD LUCK,
PATRICK, BAD LUCK.
BAD LUCK NOTHING.
I WAS ONLY HAVING
A JOKE WITH YOU.
COME ON, GIRL.
[Donkey braying]
TRY AGAIN, PATSY.
DEVIL I WILL.
I SPURN THE DIAMOND
FIELDS UNDER ME SHOES.
IF WE COULD ONLY GET
TO THE COAST, I COULD
GET A JOB TEACHING.
AND WOULD
YOU LIKE IT?
I WOULD NOT.
[O'Brien]
OF COURSE
YOU WOULDN'T.
LISTEN, THERE WAS A
MAN IN THE BAR LAS NIGHT FROM THE CONGO.
HE SAYS THERE'S
A FORTUNE IN IVORY.
THERE'S BEEN A FORTUNE
IN EVERYTHING WE'VE TRIED,
BUT IT WASN'T US
WHO FOUND IT.
FROM NOW ON, WE'LL BE DECENT,
RESPECTABLE CITIZENS,
AND WE'RE GOING TO THE COAST
BEFORE I CHANGE ME MIND.
HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE WE?
LESS THAN A POUND
AND ALL OUR TRAPS
ARE IN THE PAWNSHOP.
WHAT'S THAT
YOU HAVE?
FOR YOU, A GIFT I
BOUGHT TO CELEBRATE OUR
MAGNIFICENT DISCOVERY.
A SHAMROCK!
FOR LUCK.
IT DIDN'T
COST A THING.
I KNOW WHAT
IT COST.
THERE WERE TWO
IN MULLIGAN'S STORE.
HERE'S THE
OTHER FOR YOU.
KATHY, ME GIRL,
THERE WAS NEVER
ANYTHING TO BEAT IT.
WITH A BIT OF SHAMROCK
APIECE, THERE'S NOTHING ON
EARTH CAN HOLD US DOWN.
LOOK!
GLORY BE TO GOD,
STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN.
ASK HIM FOR A LIFT
TO THE COAST.
IT'S A 5-WEEK JOURNEY.
IT'S A LOT TO ASK.
AND YOU CALL YOURSELF
AN IRISHMAN?
IT'S A FINE MORNING.
[O'Brien]
IT'S A FINE MORNING.
IS IT?
IT IS.
ARE YOU GOING
TO THE COAST?
NO, KITSFONTEIN.
WELL, THAT'S ALL
ON THE WAY.
WHOSE WAY?
OURS.
WE WERE WONDERING
IF YOU'D GIVE US A LIFT.
NO.
ME NAME IS KATHLEEN O'BRIEN,
AND THIS IS ME FATHER,
PATRICK O'BRIEN,
BACHELOR OF ARTS,
TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.
THANK YOU.
BACHELOR OF ARTS AT
TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN!
A DOWN-AND-OUT
FROM THE DIGGINGS, HUH?
WE'RE DOWN
BUT WE'RE NOT OUT.
[Quartermain]
YOU'RE OUT AS FAR AS
MY WAGON'S CONCERNED.
OH! SO YOU DON'T
APPROVE OF US?
I DON'T APPROVE OF TEARING
UP THE FACE OF THE
COUNTRY FOR GREED.
ME DAUGHTER IS
A GOOD COOK.
I HAVE A GOOD COOK.
ME FATHER'S A
WONDER TO TALK.
YEAH, HE WOULD BE.
[Kathy]
AND HE'S A LOVELY
RIFLE SHOT.
JUST THINK OF THE GAME
HE COULD GET FOR YOU.
[Laughter]
WHAT'S FUNNY
IN THAT?
QUARTERMAIN, BEST
HUNTER IN AFRICA.
THAT ENDS IT.
IT DOES NOT.
MR. QUARTERMAIN,
YOU NEEDN'T TAKE US
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO,
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT IN
YOUR PRECIOUS SOLITUDE:
ME FATHER'S OWN SISTER
IS DYING IN KILKENNY
AND IF THEY NEVER MEET
THIS SIDE OF THE GATES,
'TIS YOU THAT WILL
HAVE PREVENTED THEM.
JUMP UP.
[Spiritual singing]
HOW MUCH LONGER?
ANOTHER 10 DAYS.
LOOK!
[Kathy]
AH, THE PRETTY CREATURE.
YOU STARTLED HER.
MAYBE SHE KNOWS
THAT IN 10 DAYS
YOU'LL BE AFTER
HER WITH YOUR
MURDERING GUNS.
I'LL GET YOU
A KNIFE.
YOU DON'T
LIKE HUNTING?
NO, I DO NOT.
NEITHER DO I.
THEN WHAT DO YOU HUNT FOR?
A LIVING. IT PAYS ME
TO RUN HUNTING TRIPS.
I'VE GOT 2
CLOWNS WAITING
FOR ME NOW.
THERE MUST BE A LOT
OF MONEY IN HUNTING.
I'VE BEEN THINKING OVER WHAT
THAT FELLA SAID ABOUT IVORY.
HAVE YOU HAD
ANY EXPERIENCE
IN TRACKING GAME?
HE ONCE TOOK PART
IN A BADGER HUNT,
BUT THE BADGER ESCAPED.
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN DO
TILL YOU TRY.
WHILE YOU'RE TRYING,
YOUR POOR SISTER'S
PEACEFULLY PASSING
AWAY IN KILKENNY.
ALAN QUARTERMAIN, IT WAS A
LIE ABOUT ME FATHER'S SISTER.
I KNOW, I'VE MET
THE IRISH BEFORE.
I'M GLAD YOU OWNED UP.
AND WHY
SHOULDN'T SHE?
SHE'S GONNA
SETTLE DOWN AND
TEACH SCHOOL.
YOU'RE GOING
TO SETTLE DOWN?
OF COURSE
I AM.
I SUPPOSE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING
IN THE IVORY TRADE IS THERE?
IF YOU ASK ME, THERE ISN'T A
PIN TO CHOOSE BETWEEN YOU.
THERE'S A WAGON
ACROSS THE RIVER.
NO. ANTELOPE
PROBABLY.
I'M SURE
IT'S A WAGON.
CAN'T BE.
AND WHY NOT?
THERE'S NOTHING
ACROSS THAT
RIVER BUT DEVILS.
THAT'S WHAT
THE NATIVES SAY.
IT'S UNEXPLORED LAND,
DESERT PROBABLY.
IT MAY BE THE DEVIL'S,
BUT I CAN SEE A WAGON.
COME ON!
[Shouting]
TAKE THIS.
WATER, QUICK!
WHOSE WAGON IS THIS?
HE'S NOT
ABLE TO TALK.
IT'S THE
DESERT.
INSIDE.
[Man whispering]
[Shouting in foreign language]
THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
THEY'RE LOOKING
AFTER HIM.
THE OTHERS RAN AWAY IN
THE NIGHT MANY DAYS AGO.
THE FEAR WAS ON THEM.
SURE, THE DEVIL.
HE FELL ILL.
WE COULD NOT
REACH THE NORTH.
HELP HIM
BACK TO CAMP.
I TURNED BACK.
HE DOES NOT KNOW.
LET ME GO ON.
OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU CAN'T GO ON.
YOU ARE ILL.
DO I CARE IF I AM ILL?
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GOING BUT--
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE
I'M GOING BUT I TELL YOU,
YOU CANNOT FOLLOW.
I CROSSED THE DESERT.
AFTER THE DESERT, I FIND
KING SOLOMON'S MOUNTAIN.
AFTER THE MOUNTAIN,
I FIND KING SOLOMON'S MINES.
DIAMONDS.
SYLVESTRA, WHEN
YOU SEE ME AGAIN,
I'LL BE THE RICHEST
MAN ON EARTH.
SO, OUT OF THE WAY!
[Mumbling incoherently]
[Gasping]
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
THE MINES OF KING
SOLOMON OVER THE DESERT.
IS IT TRUE?
TRUE, WE HAVE
HEARD OF THE MINES.
[Quartermain]
GET ME SOME WATER.
[Speaking Kukuana]
ALL THE JEWELS OF OPHRAH
AND NO ONE EVER DISCOVERED
WHERE OPHRAH WAS.
THAT'S WHERE
IT IS MAYBE.
[Quartermain]
KATHY! MY
MEDICINE CHEST.
ALL RIGHT.
[Speaking Kukuana]
WHAT'S THAT YOU HAVE?
A MAP.
LOOK, 300
YEARS OLD.
HE SAID A MAN
WENT THERE AND
NEVER CAME BACK.
LOOK, THE WAY
ACROSS THE DESERT
AND HERE, KING SOLOMON'S
MOUNTAIN AND THE MINE.
THE JEWELS OF OPHRAH,
THE GREATEST TREASURE
IN THE WORLD!
NOW, THAT MAP IS HIS.
YOU HAD NO RIGHT
TO TAKE IT.
I KNOW, BUT IF HE
LIVES WE WON'T USE IT,
AND IF HE DOESN'T,
I'LL SEEK THE TREASURE
MESELF AND I'LL HAVE
MASSES SAID FOR HIS SOUL.
THE SHAMROCK! I SAID
IT'D BRING US LUCK.
[Quartermain]
KATHY!
I'M COMING.
DIG A GRAVE.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Chanting]
ALL OVER?
GOD REST HIS SOUL.
KATHY ASLEEP?
IT MUST BE TERRIBLE TO
DIE ALONE IN THE DESERT
WITHOUT YOUR FOLKS.
TERRIBLE.
WHAT DID YOU
THINK OF THE MAP?
HOW DID YOU GUESS?
I KNOW HUMAN
NATURE WHERE
TREASURE'S CONCERNED.
WHERE'S THE HARM?
I RETURNED IT.
AFTER TAKING A COPY.
WILL YOU BE
SENDING THE MAP
TO HIS FOLKS?
AND PROVOKE
SOMEBODY ELSE
TO LOSE HIS LIFE?
BESIDES, HE HAS NO FOLKS.
HAVE YOU LOOKED OVER IT?
DO YOU THINK IT'S GENUINE?
IT'S UNEXPLORED COUNTRY.
NOBODY KNOWS.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAN
WHO MEANS TO KNOW.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA
TAKE THAT GIRL--
WHAT DO YOU
TAKE ME FOR?
I'M HER FATHER,
NOT A MURDERER.
I SHALL GO ALONE.
IN ALL ME LIFE, I MAY
NEVER GET ANOTHER
CHANCE LIKE THIS.
OF DYING?
OF FINDING AN EXCUSE
FOR HAVING BEEN BORN.
YOU'LL THINK ME A CASUAL
KIND OF A MICK, WHO
DOESN'T CARE A CRUST
IF I'VE A SHILLING IN ME
POCKET TO BUY A MEAL FOR ME
OWN FLESH AND BLOOD,
BUT IT'S THE WAY
WE IRISH ARE,
TO TAKE OUR TROUBLES
WITH A SMILE IN OUR TEETH
WHILE UNDERNEATH,
THERE IS DEEP SHAME
IN ME HEART.
DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I OWE TO THAT CHILD
ASLEEP THERE?
I DO KNOW AND HERE
IS WHERE I MEAN TO PAY
THAT DEBT IN FULL.
WITH YOUR LIFE, HUH?
IF GOD WILLS IT,
WITH ME LIFE.
HOW DO YOU PROPOSE
TO MAKE THE JOURNEY?
HASN'T PROVIDENCE
SENT ME A TEAM OF OXEN?
AND A WAGON, AND STRENGTH
AND PURPOSE TO CARRY ME
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH?
YOU KNOW, O'BRIEN,
THERE'S ONLY ONE KIND OF MAN
THAT IS USELESS TO ARGUE WITH.
AND THAT IS?
A FOOL.
EH.
[Men speaking Kukuana]
INKOOSI, OUR WAGON,
WHERE IS IT?
I'LL TAKE YOU ON.
AT LEAST YOU'LL BE SURE
OF FOOD AND A WAGE.
KATHY, WAKE UP!
I DO NOT WORK FOR
MONEY AND YOU DO
NOT GO MY WAY.
[Quartermain]
KATHY!
ALL RIGHT.
ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,
HE'S GONE AFTER
THE TREASURE.
I KNOW.
WITHOUT ME.
ME, WHO LAY DREAMING
OF THE WAY WE'D GO TOGETHER.
DID YOU EVER HEAR
OF SUCH A THING?
[Quartermain]
HURRY UP,
THEY'RE STARTING.
YOU'RE HEADING THE WRONG WAY.
AREN'T WE GOING
AFTER ME FATHER?
NO.
BUT--
PUT ON YOUR BOOTS
AND GET INTO THE WAGON.
I TOLD YOUR FATHER
I'D LOOK AFTER YOU.
YOU KNEW HE WAS GOING
AND YOU LET HIM GO BY HIMSELF.
ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,
WILL YOU TAKE ME AFTER
ME FATHER, PLEASE?
WE'LL LOOK FOR
THE MINES TOGETHER.
AND WHEN WE FIND THEM,
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SHARE
AND MORE, MUCH MORE.
DOESN'T A FORTUNE
MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
ALL RIGHT, IF YOU WON'T
TAKE ME IN YOUR WAGON
I'LL GO ON ME OWN 2 FEET.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
I DID.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
SAY SOMETHING?
[Quartermain]
BECAUSE YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO DO IT.
THE INKOOSIKAS GOES
ACROSS THE RIVER.
YES, I DO.
WHAT BUSINESS IS IT
OF YOURS?
THE INKOOSIKAS HAS
THE MAP. I GUIDE HER.
THE MAP'S IN MY WAGON.
NO ONE'S GOING
ACROSS THE RIVER.
KATHY, GET INTO
THAT WAGON.
GET INTO THAT WAGON!
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I HAVE MANY NAMES.
ONE'LL DO.
UMBOPA.
WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?
YOU'RE AFTER
DIAMONDS.
WHITE MEN CARE
FOR DIAMONDS.
THEN WHY DO YOU
WANT TO GO NORTH?
MOVE UP.
[Speaking Kukuana]
NOW, LOOK HERE, UMBOPA.
IF YOU WON'T TAKE SERVICE
WITH ME, I DON'T WANT YOU
HANGING ABOUT MY CAMPS.
[Speaking Kukuana]
THAT FELLA'S
UP TO NO GOOD.
ALLAN QUARTERMAIN,
I'LL NEVER SPEAK
TO YOU AGAIN. NEVER!
I'M USED TO SILENCE.
[Shouting]
[Man speaking
Kukuana]
[Quartermain
speaking Kukuana]
MY CLIENTS ARRIVED
LAST NIGHT.
IT'LL BE QUITE NICE
TO HAVE SOMEBODY
TO TALK TO.
GEAR IN HERE. WE'LL
USE THIS WAGON.
HOW ARE YOU,
QUARTERMAIN?
HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
I'M AFRAID I KEPT
YOU WAITING.
THIS IS
MISS O'BRIEN.
[Henry]
HOW DO YOU DO?
DID YOU HAVE
A GOOD TREK?
NO, I DID NOT.
DON'T MIND MISS
O'BRIEN, SIR HENRY.
SHE'S STRONG AND SILENT.
THE MAP IS
IN THE WAGON.
HOW DID YOU
GET HERE?
INKOOSIKAS DOES NOT
FORGET HER PURPOSE?
GOOD WILL INSISTS
ON HAVING HIS BATH.
NO REASON FOR
BEING UNSANITARY,
EVEN IN AFRICA.
QUITE RIGHT.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU
BOTH AT DINNER.
YES. HOW DO YOU GE OUT OF THIS THING?
YOU BETTER ASK
SIR HENRY TO
TIP YOU OUT.
RIGHT.
NO, NO--
[Mumbling]
SIR HENRY.
SIR HENRY CURTIS.
SIR HENRY CURTIS.
WILL YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?
I'M IN TERRIBLE TROUBLE.
MR. QUARTERMAIN WANTS ME
TO SEND THE WAGON NORTH
SO THAT THE BOYS CAN HAVE
CAMP READY WHEN YOU ARRIVE
BUT THEY WON'T OBEY ME.
MUTINY, EH?
GLORY BE TO GOD,
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PIG.
COMMANDER GOOD,
ROYAL NAVY.
RETIRED.
I'LL GO FETCH
QUARTERMAIN.
AH, NO.
PLEASE DON'T.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO
KNOW I'VE HAD TROUBLE.
WILL YOU
SPEAK TO THEM?
OF COURSE I'LL
SPEAK TO THEM.
BY THE WAY,
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
STRONG AND SILENT.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE
MR. QUARTERMAIN.
HE'S A TERRIBLE LIAR.
GENTLEMEN, THE QUEEN.
GOD BLESS HER.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION,
I'LL LIGHT UP.
AND WITH YOURS
I'LL RUN OVER A FEW
OF MY PROPOSALS.
I TAKE IT YOU WANT
TO GET A SABLE
ANTELOPE, SIR HENRY.
IS MISS O'BRIEN OFTEN
AS LATE AS THIS?
SHE'LL SHOW UP
WHEN SHE'S HUNGRY.
SHE SEEMED TO ME
TO BE A CAPABLE
YOUNG PERSON.
HMM--YES, CAPABLE
OF ANYTHING.
SHE'D HAVE STOLEN ONE
OF MY WAGONS IF I HADN'T
KEPT ME EYES OPEN.
[Quartermain]
ANYTHING WRONG?
I TAKE IT IT'S IN ORDER
FOR SIR HENRY TO TELL
YOUR WAGON BOYS TO
OBEY THE YOUNG LADY.
WITH THE RESULT THAT
YOUR WAGON IS NOW
PROCEEDING NORTH
TO ESTABLISH
A CAMP.
BUT SHE TOLD ME--
MY BOY, I'M AFRAID
YOU'RE THE VICTIM
OF A WOMAN'S WILES.
WE MUST GO
AFTER HER.
WE CERTAINLY MUST.
MY ONLY TOOTHBRUSH
IS IN THAT WAGON.
SHE HAS 3 HOURS START.
IT'LL BE 2 DAYS BEFORE
I GATHER A TEAM.
SHE TOLD ME THOSE BOYS
WERE MUTINOUS.
I'M AFRAID, SIR HENRY,
THAT IT'S MISS O'BRIEN
WHO IS MUTINOUS.
WILL YOU HAVE A
LITTLE MORE PORT?
I'M NOT AFRAID
I'M NOT AFRAID
WHY SHOULD I CARE
IF MY JOURNEY'S LONG
I'M SURE TO GET THERE
THOUGH MY JOURNEY'S LONG
MY TEAM AND MY WAGON
ARE STRONG
[Playing harmonica]
STRUGGLE ALONG
STRUGGLE ALONG
OXEN OF MINE
TILL YOUR SHOULDERS CRACK
KEEP PLODDING ALONG
TILL YOUR SHOULDERS CRACK
I'LL NEVER BE
TURNING YOU BACK
WALK, WALK
OXEN OF MINE
ANSWER MY WHIP
WHEN IT FALLS
WALK, WALK
KEEP IN YOUR LINE
LEOPARDS WAIT TO GET
THE ONE THAT FALLS
GET UP AND WALK
WALK, OXEN OF MINE
SHINING AS BRIGHT

WALK, WALK
KEEP IN YOUR LINE
THERE WILL BE
A WATER HOLE SOON
WE'LL COME TO
THAT WATER HOLE SOON
WALK, WALK
YOU BETTER KEEP ON
THINK OF THAT SUN
IN THE SKY
WALK, WALK
HURRY ALONG
OR THE SUN WILL DRINK
THAT WATER DRY
GET UP AND WALK, WALK
STRAIN AT YOUR LOAD
THOUGH YOU ARE
WEARY AND SORE
WALK, WALK
KEEP TO THE ROAD
SOON YOU'LL BE
RESTING ONCE MORE
SOON YOU'LL BE
RESTING ONCE MORE
WALK, WALK
OXEN OF MINE
ANSWER MY WHIP
WHEN IT FALLS
YAH, YAH

LEOPARDS WAIT TO GET
THE ONE THAT FALLS
GET UP YAH, YAH
OXEN OF MINE
SHINING AS BRIGHT

[Quartermain] YOU'RE 9
MILES NORTH OF THE HILL,
HEADING FOR THE DESERT,
IN A STOLEN
WAGON.
AND WHAT'S LEFT
OF MY TROUSERS.
[Quartermain]
YOU'RE COMING
BACK TOMORROW.
MEANWHILE, COMMANDER
GOOD WOULD LIKE
HIS TOOTHBRUSH.
YES.
IF YOU WEREN'T A GIRL,
I'D GIVE YOU THE
HIDING OF YOUR LIFE.
ASHAMED OF YOURSELF?
BUT I'D DO IT AGAIN.
READY TO
COME BACK?
I'M NOT
COMING BACK.
I MADE UP ME MIND
TO GO AFTER ME FATHER
AND I'M GOING.
NOT IN MY WAGON.
I DON'T WANT YOUR
WAGON ANYMORE.
YOU CAN'T TAKE A WAGON
OVER THE DESERT BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY OXEN.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY
DRINK TOO MUCH.
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
I DID, INKOOSI.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
[Kathy]
I BROUGHT HIM.
LOOK, KATHY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THIS MAN'S
BEEN TELLING YOU,
BUT I GIVE YOU
MY WORD NO ONE CAN
CROSS THAT DESERT.
HOW DOES
THE INKOOSI KNOW?
I'M GONNA TRY.
I'M NOT AFRAID.
THE INKOOSIKAS
IS READY.
I'M IN CHARGE
HERE. CLEAR OUT!
WAIT, WE CAN'T
LET THESE 2
GO ALONE,
BUT WHY
SHOULDN'T WE
GO WITH THEM?
GOOD SUGGESTION.
SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
I WON'T HAVE IT.
NOBODY'S ASKING YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED
TO GO HUNTING.
YOU KNOW, HUNTING,
FISHING, ANYTHING WITH A
LITTLE ADVENTURE IN IT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MEN
DIE FOR LACK OF WATER?
THIRST, BURNING THIRST
THAT TURNS TO PAIN.
TORTURE, THEN
YOU GO MAD
AND THE SUN
KILLS YOU.
IMAGINATIVE
FELLOW, ISN'T HE?
QUARTERMAIN.
I'M SORRY OUR TRIP'S
HAD TO END LIKE THIS.
HOW DO YOU
MEAN "END"?
WE'LL BE AWAY
FOR SOME TIME.
CAN'T ASK YOU
TO WAIT FOR US.
SIR HENRY CURTIS,
I WAS ENGAGED TO
TAKE YOU UPCOUNTRY
AND TO BRING YOU
BACK TO THE BEST
OF MY ABILITY.
I HAPPEN TO BE A
MAN WHO RESPECTS
A CONTRACT.
I'M LINING
UP WITH THE
REST OF YOU.
YOU'RE A GOOD
FELLOW, QUARTERMAIN.
ON THE CONTRARY,
I'M A FOOL.
HOW ARE YOUR FEET?
ALL RIGHT.
HOW ARE YOURS?
FINE.
NICE ABOUT OUR FEET,
ISN'T IT?
ARE YOU REALLY GOING
ALL THROUGH THIS
JUST FOR DIAMONDS?
THE INKOOSI
SAYS SO.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
I'M ASKING YOU.
WHY IS
INKOOSI GOING?
BLESSED IF
I KNOW.
YOU'RE NOT ONE
FOR A BIT OF
GOSSIP, ARE YOU?
THE MOUNTAINS DON'T
SEEM TO GET ANY
NEARER, DO THEY?
NO, THEY DON'T,
DO THEY?
NO--NO, THEY--
NO, THEY DON'T.
FEELING BETTER?
MUST YOU KEEP
ON ASKING ME?
I NEEDN'T.
I'D SURE MISS IT
IF YOU DIDN'T.
HOW LONG WILL
THE WATER LAST?
TOMORROW.
IF I--
IF I DON'T GET
ANOTHER CHANCE,
I'M SORRY ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
WHAT ARE THOSE
BIRDS UP THERE?
[Umbopa]
ASSVOGELS.
THEY MUST BE TO LIVE
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.
WE CALL THEM
"THE BIRD THAT
SMELLS DEATH."
HUH? OH.
GOOD! COME HERE.
O'BRIEN'S WAGON.
GO BACK AND
KEEP HER TALKING.
FETCH THE OTHERS.
[Henry]
THAT'S THE LAST
RATION OF WATER.
HALF A BOTTLE EACH.
THAT'S GOOD, I--
I SEE BY THE MAP THAT
WE OUGHT TO GET TO PAN BAD
WATER BY MIDDAY TOMORROW.
WHY'S IT CALLED
"PAN BAD WATER"?
BECAUSE IN 300 YEARS
IT MAY HAVE DRIED UP.
OH...
OH, I SEE, YES.
GO ON,
DRINK IT.
WHAT'S THE
USE, CURTIS?
THERE'S NO POINT
IN HER SURVIVING US.
SAND! GO DOWN!
RUN!
[Wind whistling]
[Wind howling]
I SMELL WATER.
I SMELL WATER.
I SMELL WATER.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Shouting]
[Speaking Kukuana]
LOOK! THE MOUNTAINS
ARE NEAR!
[Umbopa]

CLIMBING UP
TILL I'M HOLDING
THE CLOUDS IN MY HAND
CLIMBING UP
CLIMBING UP
TILL THE WORLD

CLIMBING UP

BREAKFAST READY?
[Kathy]
NEARLY.
WE HAD MELONS FOR
BREAKFAST YESTERDAY.
WE DID.
AND MELONS
THE DAY BEFORE.
WE DID.
I SUPPOSE WE'RE GONNA
HAVE MELONS TODAY?
[Both]
WE ARE.
DON'T THE BIRDS
IN THIS COUNTRY
EVER LAY EGGS?
I WONDER HOW
FAR ME FATHER
IS AHEAD OF US?
YOU SURE HE
GOT THIS FAR?
OF COURSE I AM.
PATRICK O'BRIEN HAS
ALWAYS DONE WHAT HE
SET HIS MIND TO.
WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT IN THE DESERT?
SAND, MOSTLY.
DID YOU EVER
THINK OF ME?
YES...
YOU AND
THE SAND.
I'M GLAD OF THAT BECAUSE
YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF
ME IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
AM I?
I'M AFRAID YOU
CAN'T AVOID IT.
YOU SEE, WE'RE IN
UNINHABITED COUNTRY.
I HATE TO CONTRADICT
YOU BUT,
THERE'S A MAN
BEHIND THAT ROCK--
SEVERAL MEN.
THEY SEEM ANXIOUS
TO MEET US.
MUCH TOO ANXIOUS.
[Shouting in Kukuana]
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
THEY SAY, "WHAT MANNER
OF MAN IS THIS WITH THE
BEAUTIFUL WHITE LEGS,
"WHO GROWS HAIR ON
ONE SIDE OF HIS FACE
"AND CAN PLUCK HIS EYE
FROM HIS HEAD AND REPLACE
IT WHERE IT GROWS?"
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE'S TELLING THEM YOU ARE
WHITE GODS FROM THE SKIES.
YOU MEAN, ON ACCOUNT
OF MY LEGS?
I NEVER THOUGHT
THEY WERE AS GOOD
AS ALL THAT.
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE
THAT BETTER IF HE'D
BEEN AN IRISHMAN.
[Drum beating]
[Drums beating]
[Chanting]
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Man shouting]
[Chanting, drums beating]
[Shouting in Kukuana]
[Chanting and drumming]
THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE ABOUT FOR
AN UNINHABITED COUNTRY.
[Quartermain]
THIS IS A MILITARY CROWD.
I HOPE THE
COOKING'S GOOD.
THOSE ARE THE
SOLDIERS' QUARTERS.
THAT'S THE KING'S HUT.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND
WILLINGTON BARRACKS.
SO UNLIKE THE HOME
LIFE OF OUR DEAR
QUEEN, ISN'T IT?
SUPPOSE PATRICK
O'BRIEN'S IN THERE?
DON'T WORRY.
ME FATHER'S GONE
AFTER DIAMONDS.
KING SOLOMON'S MINES,
THAT'S WHERE
WE'LL FIND HIM.
IF THERE IS
SUCH A MINE.
[Speaking Kukuana]
I SUPPOSE HE SAYS
HE ISN'T IN.
HE SAID, "THE
TWALA, THE KING
"WILL SEE THE STRANGERS
WHO COME TO HIS LAND
AND CLAIM TO BE GODS."
[Cheering]
I DON'T LIKE THE
LOOK OF THEIR SPEARS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THEY THINK
WE'RE GODS.
I HOPE THE
TWALA DOES.
HEAD UP. IF HE
THINKS WE'RE AFRAID
ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN.
[Speaking Kukuana]
HA HA HA HA...
[Shouting]
WOULD IT DO ANY GOOD
IF I WHIPPED OFF MY
TROUSERS, DO YOU THINK?
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE ASKS,"WHY DO
THE GODS HONOR
HIS KINGDOM?
"IS IT THE WHITE
STONES THEY SEEK?"
DIAMONDS!
THERE IS A MINE.
TELL HIM YES.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Speaking Kukuana]
HE'S GONNA
TAKE US.
KING SOLOMON'S
MINES.
THE GREATEST
TREASURE IN
THE WORLD.
WITH ME FATHER
INSIDE FILLING
HIS POCKETS.
[Shouting orders]
[Crowd murmuring]
IT SEEMS THEY
ARE NICE FELLOWS
AFTER ALL.
I HOPE
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITH YOUR SHARE
OF THE MONEY?
IF WE GET OUT OF THIS,
GO BACK TO ENGLAND
AND KEEP SHEEP.
I THINK I'LL BUY MYSELF
A BATTLESHIP AND
REJOIN THE NAVY.
[Chanting]
SCARED?
OF COURSE
I'M NOT.
NOT VERY.
KING SOLOMON'S ROAD
AND THE SILENT
ONES TO GUARD IT,
BROKEN AND
OVERGROWN.
I WONDER HOW MANY
CIVILIZATIONS HAVE
PERISHED LIKE THIS ONE?
SOLOMON HAD
NOTHING TO DO
WITH IDOLS.
THE PHOENICIANS DID.
THEY WERE THE GREAT
TRADERS OF SOLOMON'S TIME.
PERHAPS SOME
PHOENICIAN RAN
THE MINE.
GAGOOL, THE WITCH
DOCTOR WHO LOOKS
AFTER THE MINES.
THESE PEOPLE
BELIEVE THAT SHE'S
100'S OF YEARS OLD.
WOULD YOU SAY
THAT SHE WAS
WELL-PRESERVED?
REMINDS ME
OF MY POOR OLD
AUNT HANNAH.
SHE CAME TO NO GOOD.
[Speaking Kukuana]
SHE ASKS WHY THE
WHITE MAN'S SERVANT
WALKS LIKE A PRINCE?
I'VE NOTICED IT
MYSELF, AN UNCOMMONLY
GOOD WALKER.
ASK HER IF SHE'S
SEEN A WHITE MAN.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Speaking Kukuana]
SHE HAS?
PERHAPS IT WAS
YESTERDAY,
PERHAPS IT WAS
100 YEARS AGO.
TIME HAS NO
MEANING TO HER.
[Rumbling]
THROUGH THAT DOOR,
SLAVES BROUGHT JEWELS
FOR THE QUEEN
OF SHEBA THOUSANDS
OF YEARS AGO.
AND PATRICK O'BRIEN
WENT IN TO FIND HIS
FORTUNE. COME ON.
CAREFUL,
INKOOSI.
TWALA DARE NOT HARM
YOU HERE. THE PEOPLE
THINK YOU GODS.
ONCE INSIDE,
HE HAS NO
ONE TO FEAR.
THE STONE
WILL ROLL BACK.
[Shouting]
COME AWAY.
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Shouting]
[Rumbling]
GET OUT OF HERE!
GIVE ME THAT!
[Shouts]
KILL HIM,
YOU'LL HAVE
THE LOT ON US.
THEY'VE NEVER
SEEN A GUN
FIRED BEFORE.
[Crowd screaming]
I BET THAT
MADE HIM FEEL
PRETTY SILLY.
[Drums beating]
[Chanting]
OUR ONE CHANCE IS
TO ESCAPE BEFORE
THEY MAKE UP THEIR MINDS.
I'M AFRAID IT IS.
SOMEONE WILL
HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THE GUARD.
PITY, SEEMED
A VERY DECENT
FELLOW.
ALL RIGHT, BUT
I'M STOPPING HERE.
KATHY, BE SENSIBLE.
YOU CAN'T.
I CAME HERE
TO FIND ME FATHER.
THERE ISN'T A VESTIGE OF
PROOF THAT YOUR FATHER
EVER REACHED HERE.
HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY.
ME SHAMROCK!
BUT I--IT'S NOT--
IT IS HIS!
ME FATHER'S!
SO HE IS HERE.
NOW DO YOU WAN ME TO RUN AWAY?
WHERE DID YOU
FIND THIS?
ON THE WAY
TO THE MINE.
KATHY, YOU SAW WHAT
NEARLY HAPPENED TO US.
THIS PROVES THAT IT
MUST HAVE HAPPENED
TO YOUR FATHER.
IF YOUR FATHER
LOVED YOU AS MUCH
AS YOU LOVE HIM,
HE'D BE THE LAST ONE
TO WANT YOU TO STAY.
WOULDN'T HE?
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
I'M SORRY, KATHY.
AGREED, WE
LEAVE TONIGHT?
YES.
IT IS NOT AGREED.
YOU MUST STAY.
I'M IN CHARGE HERE.
I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE.
THAT WAS IN YOUR
COUNTRY. WE ARE
NOW IN MINE.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE.
EVERYWHERE, THE MEN
OF TWALA WATCH.
ONE STEP BEYOND THAT
DOOR AND A SPEAR
WILL PIERCE YOUR BACK.
HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT?
TOMORROW THE DRUMS BEAT,
THEY SMELL OUT THE EVILDOERS.
GAGOOL WILL PUT HER MARK
ON THE ENEMIES OF THE KING.
THEY DIE LIKE CATTLE.
LOOKS LIKE A RED-
LETTER DAY FOR ALL
OF US, DOESN'T IT?
YET THE PEOPLE ARE WEARY
OF WICKEDNESS AND BLOOD.
IF THERE WAS ONE TO LEAD THEM,
THEY WOULD RISE UP.
ISN'T THERE ONE?
PERHAPS HE COULD BE FOUND.
WHO ARE YOU?
THE MAN WHO LOOKS
FOR DIAMONDS AND
HANGS ABOUT YOUR CAMP.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.
ONCE THERE WAS
A KING IN THIS LAND,
IMOTU THE LOVED,
BUT HE FOUGHT
THE WICKED GAGOOL,
WHO IS OLDER THAN
THE MEMORY OF
THE OLDEST MAN.
FOR THAT, SHE MADE HIS
BROTHER TWALA THE ONE-EYED
KILL HIM WHILE HE SLEPT.
THE WIFE OF IMOTU
AND THE SON OF IMOTU
WERE DRIVEN INTO THE DESERT.
IT IS SAID THEY DIED.
IF THEY DIDN'T, THE
SON OF IMOTU SHOULD
BE KING AND NOT TWALA.
YOU ARE THE
SON OF IMOTU.
I AM THE
SON OF IMOTU.
[Drums beating]
[Whispering in Kukuana]
[Drums beating, chanting]
[Umbopa speaking Kukuana]
THE COMMITTEE
SEEMS UNANIMOUS.
I ALWAYS THOUGH THAT FELLOW HAD A SPOT
OF ROYAL BLOOD IN HIM.
YOU DON'T GET A SNAKE
ON YOUR STOMACH
FOR NOTHING, YOU KNOW.
IT IS AGREED.
TOMORROW AT
THE SMELLING-OUT
OF THE EVILDOERS,
THEY WILL LEAD
THE PEOPLE OF THE KUKUANA
AGAINST TWALA,
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
AND IN RETURN
I OFFER YOU YOUR LIVES
AND THE FREEDOM OF THE MINES.
FOR YOU, THE DIAMONDS, RICHES.
FOR YOU, ADVENTURE.
FOR YOU, THE HAPPINESS
OF THE INKOOSIKAS.
TODAY, YOU SAW
HOW TWALA TREATS STRANGERS.
IF YOUR FATHER IS ALIVE,
HE IS IN THE MINE.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
BEHIND TWALA
STANDS GAGOOL.
THE PEOPLE FEAR
HER MAGIC.
THEY WILL RISE ONLY
IF YOU SHOW THEM
A GREATER MAGIC.
YOU LIVE AMONG US.
YOU KNOW THAT THE
WHITE MAN HAS NO MAGIC.
I MUST HAVE MAGIC.
AND IF WE CANNOT
GIVE IT?
THE DRUMS WILL ROLL
AT THE SMELLING-OUT.
GAGOOL WILL GIVE THE SIGN.
THE KILLERS WILL SPEED
TO THE EVILDOERS.
THEY WILL BEAT US TO DEATH.
[Chanting, drums beating]
FUNNY TO THINK IT'S
DERBY DAY BACK HOME.
VERY FUNNY.
I HAD A BET
ON MANITOBA.
THERE'S NO SUCH HORSE.
THERE CERTAINLY IS.
I'VE GOT IT IN MY DIARY.
[Chanting]
HERE IT IS,
DERBY DAY, MANI--
BY JOVE! LOOK HERE!
"11:15. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF
THE SUN VISIBLE OVER
TENERIFFE, SOUTH AFRICA."
MAGIC!
GOOD, YOU'RE A GENIUS.
11:15. THAT OUGHT
TO SETTLE 'EM, EH?
IT'S A CHANCE.
IF WE CAN HOLD OUT TILL 11:15.
ARE YOU SURE IT'S
THIS YEAR'S DERBY?
OF COURSE, I WOULDN'T HAVE
HAD A BET ON LAST YEAR'S
DERBY THIS YEAR, WOULD I?
NO.

[Drums beating]
[Drums beating faster]
HOW LONG BEFORE
THEY GET TO US?
A MATTER OF MINUTES.
[Drums beating faster]
[Man screams]
NO SIGN OF
THE ECLIPSE YET.
WE'RE NEXT.
I HOPE I'M RIGHT
ABOUT THE TIME.
GOD HELP US
IF YOU'RE NOT.

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!
FATHER!

FATHER!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
INDEED, I'M
NOT ALL RIGHT,
NOT AFTER
BREAKING ME LEG.
[Rumbling]
KATHY!
KATHY!
KATHY!
COME ON!
OF COURSE YOU WOULD
BREAK YOUR LEG
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.
HOW DO YOU
EXPECT ME
TO CARRY YOU?
YOU OLD DEVIL.
KATHY! KATHY!
COME ON, YOU CAN
GET THOSE LATER!
KATHY!
[Gurgling]
[Hissing]
DIDN'T I TELL YOU
HE'D GET HERE?
THANK GOD
YOU'RE SAFE.
OF COURSE
I'M SAFE.
SO THIS IS WHAT
PUT AN END
TO THE MINES.
THEY STUMBLED
UPON A VOLCANO.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THOSE SKELETONS?
MINERS TRYING TO ESCAPE
AND TRAPPED BY THE LAVA.
OH... HURRY
UP, CURTIS,
WILL YOU?
[Speaking Kukuana]
[Screams]
THIS IS
GOING, TOO!
COME ON!
TOO BAD THAT WHEN
WE GET TO A FORTUNE
IN DIAMONDS,
THE MOUNTAIN
SHOULD DECIDE
TO SIT DOWN ON IT.
IT DID NOT,
THEN.
I'VE A FORTUNE
HERE IN ME POCKET.
THERE'S ENOUGH
HERE FOR ALL OF US.
DIAMONDS ARE NOT MUCH USE
WHEN YOU'RE TRAPPED
BEHIND SOLID ROCK.
I DON'T WANT TO DEPRESS
YOU ANY FURTHER,
BUT I THINK THERE'S
GOING TO BE AN ERUPTION.
THAT FALL OF
ROCK, YOU KNOW?
VOLCANOES ARE
NERVOUS THINGS,
IT TAKES VERY LITTLE
TO UPSET THEM.
[Explosions]
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,
YOU'D BE QUIETLY SHOOTING
GAME IN THE SOUTH.
AND THEN YOU'D
HAVE GONE HOME
AND MARRIED SOME NICE GIRL
AND LIVED IN YOUR BIG HOUSE.
AND SLOWLY GROWN
OLD AND FAT AND
DISAGREEABLE,
AND ENDED UP A FEEBLE
OLD MAN WITH NO ONE
SORRY TO SEE YOU GO.
NO, I'D RATHER
DIE YOUNG.
STRANGE, I USED
TO HATE DYING.
I'D LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT
THINKING ABOUT IT, SCARED.
BUT WHEN YOU COME TO IT,
IT'S NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL.
[Rumbling]
[Explosions]
THERE'S ONLY
ONE THING I'M
SORRY ABOUT.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
SEEN IRELAND AGAIN,
THE GLEN OF ARMAGH
WHERE I WAS BORN,
WITH THE MOUNTAINS
RUNNING DOWN
TO THE LAKES.
WE WERE TO HAVE
GONE HOME NEXT YEAR.
YOU COULD HAVE
COME WITH US.
[Umbopa]
QUARTERMAIN!
[Echoing]
QUARTERMAIN!

LOOK!
IT'S MOVING!
GOOD IDEA BUT--
IT--IT'S BOUND
TO FALL ON US.
UMBOPA?
[Umbopa]
CURTIS, WE MUST
PUSH IT CLEAR.
READY?
RIGHT.
[Umbopa]
READY?
THIS TIME.
IT'S GONNA ERUPT!
STEADY.
GOT HIM?
[Rumbling]
COME ON!
HERE MY COUNTRY ENDS,
BUT 100 OF MY MEN
WILL LEAD YOU
ACROSS THE DESERT.
GO NOW, MY FRIENDS,
AND AT TIMES, REMEMBER HOW
WE STOOD SHOULDER TO
SHOULDER IN THE GREAT BATTLE.
