Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, The (2008) Movie Script
Long ago, a mythical battle
between Good and Evil...
played out in ancient China.
The country was torn
by civil war...
with many Kingdoms struggling,
for land and power.
But one King,
had the ruthless ambition...
to make himself Emperor
by the sword.
Leave me!
Prepare for war!
The other rulers hired assassins
to kill that king...
before he could conquer them all.
Stop! I am not harmed.
We attack tonight!
Kingdom to Kingdom, his armies
swept away everything in it's path.
And anyone who resisted,
met a terrible fate.
The country was his.
He was now Emperor,
of all unto heaven.
He enslaved his conquered enemies...
and forced them to build
his great wall...
and when they were dead or useless,
he had them burried beneath it.
The Emperor's mystics', taught him
mastery over the five elements.
Fire, water, earth, wood and metal.
His power seemed without limit.
He was the Master of millions',
but like the lowliest peasant...
he could not stop growing old.
I have too much to do,
for one lifetime.
He needed to defeat,
his last enemy...
Death itself.
One day news came,
of a powerful witch...
who was rumored to know,
the secret to eternal life.
He ordered General Ming,
his oldest friend...
and trusted ally, to find her.
The witch was named Zi Juan...
and she was nothing like
the General expected.
Your Majesty...
Rise up.
I do not possess the secret
of immortality, my Lord...
but I know where to find it.
General...
No man is to touch her.
She is mine.
On the western border, stood
the Monastery of Tzu Fang...
there was housed, the greatest
library in the ancient world.
And Zi Juan was sure, the secret
to eternal life was here.
This is a key.
It was the long lost
"Oracle Bone"...
a collection of all the mystical
secrets, of the ancient world.
The Emperor's answer was here...
along with other magic,
beyond imagining.
You have served me well.
I will grant you
anything you desire.
I want to spend my
life with General Ming.
Of course.
Read.
She casted the spell in "Sanskrit"...
an ancient language, that the
Emperor did not understand.
I feel the spell working.
I am now immortal.
Come, I want to show you something.
No, why?
Become my queen and I let him live.
Do what he says! Save yourself!
You will never keep your word.
You are right.
Now, join General Ming in hell.
What did you do to me?
I cursed you and your army.
Surround the Palace!
The Emperor is in trouble!
The curse must never
be lifted...
or the Emperor will rise again,
to enslave all of man-kind.
On that dark day, there will be
nothing and no one, to save us.
THE MUMMY
TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR
You can run...
but you can't hide.
FLY FISHING
Hm'mm... one o'clock.
Ten o'clock.
One o'clock.
Ten o'clock.
One o'clo... and this is something,
a girl won't ever have to do...
Oh...
Ah'ha...
Ahh... oh...
Bite on this!
Evey, I'm home!
Mrs. O'Connell is at her book-
reading, Sir, she'll be home for dinner.
Oh, right, that's great,
'cause we're having fish.
You didn't think,
I'd catch anything, did you?
- I had the utmost confidence, Sir.
- Hmm...
There's a hook in your neck, Sir.
Shall I fetch the wire cutters?
Fall back!
Fall back!
Come, come on!
Now savely on-board the airship...
with the Mummy finally vanquished,
Dash, swept Scarlett into his arms.
Oh god, Scarlett,
I thought I lost you.
For a moment Dash, you did.
Bade in rays of golden sun-light...
our heros sealed their reunion,
with a kiss of time-less passion...
their love deeper and surer,
than ever.
Mrs. O'Connell!...
we're all dying to know...
is the Scarlett O'Keefe character,
really based on you?
Honestly I can say, she's a
completely different person.
Are there any more questions?
- Mrs. O'Connell,
- Mrs. O'Connell...
Is your life today as exciting,
as it was before the war?
I wish my life was that exciting now.
- Will there be another book in this series?
- Do you believe in happy ending?
Isn't this blissful?
Dinner at home!
- Hm'mm, every night!
- Every night!
- Here's to retirement.
- May we stay this happy forever.
Still no letters from Alex.
I wrote him 3, in the last month.
Well, what'd you expect?
The only time you hear from the kid...
when he's getting kicked out of
college, or he needs more money.
I'm sure, he's just buried
in his studies.
So, how did your book-reading go?
Oh fine, thank you.
Until they ask me, will there
be another Mummy adventure...
But you did promise the
publisher a third book.
I know...
but I spend my nights, staring at
a blank page, completely blocked...
We can skip dinner...
and I could... hm'mm...
attempt to...
inspire you...
- upstairs.
- Oh, that's so sweet of you, darling.
I'm going to sit at that typewriter,
until something exciting comes out.
Thank you.
Oh... trout!
How lovely!
I'm so happy you found something,
that doesn't involve guns.
NINGXIA PROVINCE, CHINA
Don't worry,
we'll find the entrance today.
Li Tung, what's for lunch?
Noodle soup.
Very good.
Good, Professor Wilson's back.
- You're a couple of days late, Professor.
- Ah'ha...
I was beginning to think,
you've run into bandits.
Oh, my dear fellow,
thank you for your concern.
- You're thirsty?
- Oh yes, please, thank you.
You know, when I saw you
standing up there...
I thought, I was looking
at your father.
You really are Rick O'Connell's son.
Yeah, well, hopefully after today...
he'll be known as
Alex O'Connell's father.
What a powerful face!
When I told my colleagues',
at the Museum...
that you had discovered
the Colossus, they were thrilled.
- Yeah, however...
- I know...
when I'm gonna get in that Tomb?
Ah... don't let the buggers
get you down.
It was you who discovered
the Bembridge journal...
and with it,
you discover the Emperor.
I have complete faith in you, Alex.
Thank you, Professor.
Thanks, for believing in me.
- We found it!
- I think they found it!
We found it!
We found the door!
The...
vile Mummy?...
No, cursed Mummy...
mysterious Mummy...
the evil Mummy.
Prepare to die!
Agh'hm...
Rick?
Darling, where are you?
I'm ready to be "inspired".
So...
do you remember the time when
the Mummy had me tied... down?
And you came to save me...
and you... cut, no you tore open
the ropes, that's what you did...
just, as he was about to plunge his...
Oh... rats.
Watch out!
- I guess, he didn't want any houseguests.
- No.
Stay together.
It's Colin Bembridge.
Oh, god...
He went searching for
this Tomb, 70 years ago.
It's left here as a warning.
Unfortunately, this is not the dead
man, that's gonna make us famous.
Let's keep moving.
Look at it, Alex.
It's amazing!
Chu Wah!
Oh,.. no... Alex...
We're getting out!
No, no, don't! Stop!
Alex, stay here!
Come on!
Danger comes with the territory,
you know that better than anyone.
Alex!
Listen! Listen, heh?
You've done a good job, good job.
Good job.
All the warriors are facing
into this point.
They're still waiting
to get orders from him.
Then where is he?
I still think some bloody grave robbers,
have beaten us to the prize, do you?
No, he's still here, let's see,
this is the Feng Shui compass.
Okay... now!
This... this is true north.
The Feng Shui compass,
is set the opposite direction.
- Alright, we need to realine it.
- Right.
- Right, realine.
- Alright, here we are.
Ahh...
Alex!... Alex, speak to me!
You alright?
- Alex!
- I'm fine.
Tell me, have we found the Emperor?
Alex?
What is it?
We've got one of the greatest
finds, since King Tut.
"He is awakening".
"All mortals despair".
It's definitely him!
Wough... he had his concubines
buried alive with him.
Egotistical bastard.
Hey, Professor Wilson, you wanna
come down and take a look?
Or you, huh... so overwhelmed,
you can't talk.
Wilson!
Let's go, Professor.
- We've got a lot'a work to do.
- Right.
First of all,
I just want to say...
the Foreign-office appreciates
what all you did, during the war.
But, I've been send to offer
you, one last assignment.
I'm afraid, we've retired
from the espionage game...
- haven't we, dear?
- Yeah! We don't do it anymore.
We finished,
we're completely done.
Well, just out of curiosity,
what is the mission anyway?
We need you to courier this...
to Shanghai.
- It's a piece of eyes.
- It's the "Eye of Shangri-la".
If you believe the legend, it points
the way to the pool, of eternal life.
It was smuggled
out of China in 1940...
and now the government, would like
to return it to the Shanghai Museum...
as a sign of good faith,
to the Chinese people.
And with your expertise
in the field, we naturally...
thought of you.
Oh, we would be so flattered!
Oh... huh, but Rick and I,
we made a promise to each other...
after the war... that we would,
hm'mm... calm down.
That's right, dear,
we did, didn't we...
I see.
Well, I must admit,
I'm a little disappointed...
first of all China is... very
dangerous...
their are a lot of factions...
would love to get their hands,
on the "Eye of Shangri-la".
If it left our hands...
the "Eye" could be lost forever.
Oh, we couldn't let
that happened, could we?
No, that could... could
be bad for the... world.
- It be terrible.
- Mm'hmm.
You know, she has a brother
that lives in Shang...
Jonathan!
Yes, he owns a Night-club,
if I'm not mistaken.
We have been meaning to visit,
we could... drop in and surprise him.
- We will?...
- Why not?
Does this mean, we can count
on you, one last time?
Yes!
Shanghai, CHINA
CHINIESE NEW YEAR, 1947
Here's to you, princess.
And I'm gonna tell you,
may the bugger actualy stay there.
- Now, "Skol".
- "Bingo"!
Hi, can you buy a drink for me?
Exuse me, Alex, hey!
Alex, you're back again!
Come here, Alex!
Let me get you a drink.
John's special,
for the top pharaoh explorer.
Make that two...
sorry uncle John, but...
- I got a better offer.
- No, no Alex, no, look...
listen, huh...
okay, come here, to put it
in archeological terms...
that's the Tomb, in which
many pharaohs' have been laid.
Now listen, listen... just think
about me for a moment, alright?
Your discovery is going
public in a few days...
your parents are sure to find out.
They're not gonna be happy,
you dropped out of school...
Will you relax, uncle John, okay?
I'm here, and they're
a long way away.
Excuse me, okay?
I have some excavation to do.
Jonathan!
You're in China! Evey!...
Rick! What're you?...
It's so...
- nice, for you to drop in!
- Brother, we love to see you!
I had no idea he was here...
- Who's here?
- Who?
You stay away from her.
- Dad?
- Alex?
Now, look! What did he do!
- Jonathan, what's going on?
- I don't know!
- Go away, and let her go.
- You better go and tell him...
or, I will kill the kid.
Not so fast, that's my... kid.
- "Mad Dog" McGuire?
- "Ricochet" O'Connell!
Alex, sweetheart, are you alright?
Friends, it's just a
little family reunion...
so, let's get back and
have a good time. Music!
- How long has it been!
- Egypt, 23, French Foreign Legion.
This guy can land
a plane on anything.
Ricochet, let me tell you, he
had his hands on my little girl.
Now, Son or no son,
I gotta give him a beating.
- Oh yeah, what you gonna do?
- Back off!
As much as I really like to
teach him a valuable lesson...
His mother would be upset,
very upset.
- You have a lot to explain.
- With the wife now, and the kid...
things are a little bid different,
I'm sure you understand.
- Yeah.
- Let me make it up to you.
- Sorry, mom.
- I'm just suprised to see, that's all.
- Comming.
- Alright?
I'm not here 5 minutes, and I'm already
pulling your fanny out of the fire.
- You're going back to college.
- I think it's not gonna be worth it.
You two show up,
and tell me what to do?
Honey! We should sit down and
discuss this like a family.
No offense mom, but we haven't
been a family in a long time.
Hey, don't you turn
your back on me, Alex!
Alex, don't...
Alex, come here.
Did you...
Don't look at me like that.
Huh...
- It's all your fault.
- My fault?
You're the one who's always
smothering him...
you can't even look at him for
Perhaps I was over
compensating for the fact...
that you've never took
an interest in his life.
His life...
is my top priority.
How many time I saved that
kid from breaking his neck?
A little warmth and encouragement,
would have been nice.
I'm his father...
It's implied.
We spent our entire life,
searching for priceless artefacts...
and the one thing that's most
precious to us, we've lost.
We can't let Alex become...
a stranger, in pictures,
on our mantle.
- We can't let it happen.
- No, we can't.
How will we fix this?
We need to do it together.
PARAMILITARY OUTPOS WESTERN CHINA
The O'Connell's are in Shanghai.
Do they have the Eye of Shangri-la?
Our spy says they do.
Good.
Assemble the troops!
Yes, Sir.
Attention!
Soldiers!
Soon all our training and sacrifice...
will bear great fruit.
It is my dream to raise
our Emperor from his Tomb.
Only he can bring order
out of this chaos.
Soldiers...
tonight our great battle begins!
- Hail! Hail!
- Hail!
I think walking is faster,
or if we take a ricksaw.
It's Chinese New Year.
Don't you love this country?
With so many extra little holidays...
and drinking is mandatory.
I can't believe, we get to
see your first big discovery.
- It's so exciting.
- Well, after last night...
I'm surprised,
we get to see it at all.
This car will pick you up
in about an hour.
- You're not coming?
- Oh, no.
I've seen enough mummies,
to last a lifetime.
There he is.
Oh, my darling,
very impressive.
When you get to open
the sarcophagus?
Well, I have to wait for the
official red tape's been cut.
The words "Rest in Peace"
mean anything, to you two?
So mom, why don't you stick
around for the next few days...
and we can open it together?
I'd like that very much, thanks.
Alex... huh, won't you go and tell
Professor Wilson that we're here?
- Hm'mm?
- No problem.
- Okay.
- Oh, just...
don't wake the big guy up,
while I'm gone.
I promise!
Hey, Alex, huh'mm...
you know, this is all...
really, really, big stuff.
Whatever you say, dad.
What?
Oh, there's a certain glow about
you, I haven't seen in a long time.
I guess Mummys bring
out the best in me.
Take a wrong turn into Cairo?
Sorry to interrupt.
- Roger.
- Professor Roger Wilson.
Hello, Rick.
You know, when Alex told me...
that you had gone legit, I just...
- couldn't believe my ears.
- Well, now I just pillage Tombs...
in the name of preservation.
Evelyn!
Congratulations,
on your latest discovery.
Alex deserves all the credit,
he's one hell of a kid.
- He's like a son I never had.
- He's the only one we've got.
So, next time you send him
on one of your field trips...
- you give us the heads up first.
- Yes, yes, of course.
And now I believe, you have
something that belongs to us.
- What's that?
- Hm'mm?
Oh, you mean this?
Oh... really.
Exuse me.
Wough...
Here, go ahead, here.
All yours... Rog.
I knew I could rely on you two.
I'm afraid your work is not done yet,
Mr. and Mrs. O'Connell.
I'd like to introduce you
to a friend of mine...
- General Yang.
- Roger!
Well, he is the man who
financed Alex's dig...
We're in this together...
body and soul.
General.
Search him!
"The Eye" belongs to Chinese
people, you can't do this.
So, Rog, you snake.
How much did... huh,
Ying... Yang pay you?
Enough to pull strings
at the foreign office.
Make sure it was you two
who delivered "The Eye".
- Turn around!
- "The Eye" contains...
the elixir from the pool
of eternal life.
I need you to open it,
Mrs. O'Connell.
No, you're going to use it,
to wake the emperor, aren't you?
And his terracota army.
At least that's the general idea.
Raising an army of Mummies
is insane.
- Listen Yang...
- Shut up!
We're waiting.
Time to open the sarcophagus.
Move it!
Read the inscription, now!
Ancient Chinese isn't my forte.
Here is some encouragement.
Wilson!
- Don't do it!
- No Evey, don't do it.
They're just gonna
kill me anyway.
The inscription says,
that only a drop of blood...
from a person of pure
heart can open "The Eye. "
Your husband was right.
No!
Only the pure at heart, will sacrifice
themselves for the one they love.
Open it.
You never called
after our last date.
I don't have time
for games, Alex.
You know my name, but, huh...
I don't know yours.
It's Lin.
You... huh, wanna explain to me...
why you tried to kill me?
We could do that,
or we could save your parents.
Wilson, you son of a bitch.
Get with it, O'Connell.
Alright...
Once this touched his hand...
the Emperor will rise,
To rule again.
Finish him off.
Alex, please...
Oh, no, no don't, no, please.
Alex, please.
That's not him.
This is a unique.
It's a decoy.
Where the hell
is the Emperor then?
Stay!...
No!
Here we go again.
Ahh...
I live to serve you, my Lord.
I can help you become immortal.
If you are lying, you will burn.
Wait, wait,
you wait for me!
I'm coming with you,
just wait up...
Watch out!
Come on, come on, we gotta catch
up with that Mummy real fast.
The longer we wait,
the stronger he get's.
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
- Open the gate!
- Wait for me.
Hey! Stop! Stop! Stop!
- Okay, hold it!
- You crazy nut.
Yea, yea, yea, I know, you better get
out, there's a Mummy on the loose...
- I need your truck! You wanna drive?
- Why not?
God, I love a woman,
who can drive a truck.
Hey pal, I'm sorry, here...
take this. Happy New Year!
Hurry, honey!
No... move over!
No!
God!
Jonathan, get in the back.
- Sorry about Rolls.
- You guys are like Mummy magnets!
To the right!
- We have to turn you around!
- Okay.
Excuse me.
- Hey, we cold use this.
- Give it to me.
- Oh yeah, that's a better idea.
- Size counts.
Stop messing about,
he's getting away.
Alright, that's it.
- Aim for the Emperor!
- Aim for the Emperor, me?
- Light the fuse.
- I'll try.
Fire!...
Did we get him?
- Fire!
- Fire? What?
- The back of your ass is on fire!
- My ass?
- Hold still, I'm trying to put it out!
- My ass is on fire!
- Put me out, Rick!
- I'm working on it!
Spank my ass!
Spank my ass!
Alright, let go.
Give me your hand!
Wait...
- Where're you going?
- I know a shortcut.
Evey!
I told you, it was a shortcut.
Wow, now they're chasing us.
Hurry!
Evey here, here you'll need these.
- Don't wait for me.
- Where're you going.
Out.
- Where's Rick?
- Where'd you think?
Nut's...
That's just great.
Wough!
Give me your hand
and get on this horse.
Get back, dad!
Alexander Rupert O'Connell,
you get right on this horse...
this instant!
Get out'a the way, Evey!
Get out'a the way!
Wough...
Evey!
We gotta go back to help Rick.
Rick? Forget Rick, here they come!
- I'll go after the Emperor.
- Trust me...
I got a little more
experience with Mummies.
But I have the only weapon
that can kill him.
Okay, I'll cover you.
Let's go!
- I thought you were dead.
- He missed.
Here!
Take this.
Wough!...
Now...
No...
Oh, no.
Huh... ahh... thanks Rick...
- will you pay the cab?
- Does it look like I have a wallet?
You know I would've killed the Emperor,
if you two hadn't blown my cover.
I had everything under control.
Oh, yeah, that's exactly
what we were thinking.
Oh yeah, good going,
you raised another Mummy.
And this bugger has superpowers.
He's got control over fire, water,
metal and who knows what else.
- And you dug him up anyway.
- You ain't gonna pin this one on me...
- okay, dad?
- Stop it, you two!
No one's to blame here.
- Wilson manipulated all of us.
- Well, that's true.
I appologize for my parents.
But, I... I thought, we went
through it well together.
Except we failed.
I'm sorry, we haven't
been properly introduce.
- Who are you exactly?
- My name is Lin.
My family has watched over the
Emperor's Tomb for centuries.
The Emperor can not be killed,
unless he is stabbed...
through the heart with this... My
mother put a curse on it long ago.
Hm'hm...
Very well,
quick family meeting, alright?
- Sit down!
- Well.
What do you really know
about this girl?
Well, not much.
But after I helped, I'm willing
to go on a little faith.
- Fai...
- Time is running out.
You do believe in the concept
of personal space, do you?
If the Emperor reaches Shangri-La and
drinks from the pool of eternal life...
he will raise his army,
and no one will be save.
I just kind'a like to say this,
boys stay handsome forever.
- Shangri-La is crock.
- You know, that's what...
you used to say about Mummies too,
John, you did pretty well with it.
- Well said.
- The gate way to Shangri-La...
lies in the mountain pass,
high in the Himalayas.
Beyond it, is the golden tower.
Once the diamond is
placed on top...
it will point the way
to Shangri-La.
Yang still has the diamond, and that
is where he and the Emperor will go.
She's right,
all the legends of "The Eye"...
mention the gateway.
I like her, Alex,
she knows what's what.
Let's just say, that
we were to believe you.
- Could you guide us there?
- Yes, I have been there once.
I remember the way.
Himalayas?
Means in a plane.
Huh... I just know
the "Mad-Dog" for the job.
I know, no self respecting pilot,
would land on the valley floor...
but I don't have any
self respect, so what...
I'll put you down
the mountain half ways.
That still will give
us the advantage.
Sure, but no guarantee
anyone will live.
Really!
I'd tell you,
fasten your seat belt...
but I'm to cheap to buy any.
- Why am I laughing?
- Here we go...
be calm, it's safe and secure.
Let's go!
We're gonna crash.
- Hang on!
- Don't anybody move!
Nobody move!
Nobody move!
- Huh?
- What is by god, this awful smell?
The yak, they yaked... uh...
Welcome to the modern world, my Lord.
Why did you raise me?
I love this land.
Only you can lead us back to greatness.
What is in it for you?
I want to serve as your general.
The last general I trusted...
betrayed me.
I will not make that mistake.
I cannot escape this curse
until I am mortal...
General.
I understand, my Lord.
We need to find the Pool
of Eternal Life.
This will point the way.
We must do it quick,
to free me from this curse.
Delta, tango, alfa, to Ricochet.
Come in Ricochet.
Delta, tango, alfa, this is Ricochet.
Go ahead Mad Dog.
Rick, you know that Yang fellow,
you told me to keep my eye out for...
- he just showed up.
- Ricochet out, thanks Mad Dog.
It's those people, let's go.
Jonathan, wake up!
What?
Take a break!
We reached more than
half way, we're gonna...
we're gonna camp up there
for tonight.
Lin said, if we leave
at first light...
we'll reach the gateway by noon.
Did she happened to mention, how
she knows so much about the gateway?
No, not really.
She's kind'a mysterious.
She certainly managed
to enchant you.
Come on, Alex.
You obviously like her.
Mom, the wind down there,
is clearly messing with your head.
What clever secret
she's hiding, I...
I just don't want
to see you get hurt.
Hey, I appreciate that, but...
you know, I had my fair share of
experience with the opposite sex.
Really?
Huh... how many experiences
we're talking about?
Huh... well... huh, you shouldn't...
you shouldn't ask questions, you
don't wanna know the answers too...
- okay, mom?
- Right.
Hey! Mom.
Sorry I blamed you guys for
for raising the Emperor.
Hm'mm...
- What's so funny?
- Oh, well...
my mother is under the impression,
there's something between us.
I hope nothing romantic.
Yeah, well, I... huh, I told her
there was no chance of that.
We're the opposites
you and me, right?
You guard Tombs, I raid them...
you like ancient knives,
I'm into guns.
Those are some pretty
insurmountable odds.
Absolutely.
Well, good.
Now that we've cleared that up...
let's focus on taking
down the Emperor.
I agree totally.
Besides, you're not my type.
Of course not.
You don't like a woman, who can
knock you on the back side.
Expression, "Kick my Ass".
For the record...
you didn't.
It's not easy being me.
Oh, yeah, that's about
as easy as being you...
isn't it, Geraldine?
Well, if I met a girl like
you Geraldine...
you know, hard working,
don't say much...
a little bit hairy,
but... I don't mind that.
There it is! We found it!
The gate way of Shangri-la.
Go, girl, go.
You're free.
Go, Geraldine.
Living free.
What did you do now?
Rob an armory?
Have you ever seen
a Walter P-38?
It's pretty anemic,
compared to a peacekeeper.
Well, it's not about size, dad.
It's about stamina.
You want power?
I give you...
the Thompson submachine gun.
The Tommy is good, dad, but the
cocking mechanism always jams.
Here, check out the Russian
PPS. personal assault weapon.
- Now this, is the future right here.
- You know it's experience...
that wins today, it's not all
about fire power.
Boys, if I may? Do we have
a plan for the Emperor?
Yeah, we're gonna hit him
high hard and fast...
and smash him like a Ming vase.
- And if that doesn't work?
- We go to plan B.
Plan B! You go upstairs, you
blow up that gold tower thing.
You light it up,
and blow the guy sky high.
- Me?
- Hey dad!
- What?
- If the explosion won't kill us...
the avalanche will.
- You got a better idea.
- Yeah I do, I set the ambush...
- with a long range rifle, we...
- Long range that's better.
gotta get close to him, dad, then we
can finish him off with Lin's dagger.
Look, I'm sorry, I just don't put
to much faith, in your girlfriends...
- magic dagger.
- okay dad, she's not my girlfriend.
You say that now, but
I still don't trust her.
Well I do, so you should
trust my judgment, okay?
Look kid, I put down more
Mummies in my time than you.
You put down one Mummy, dad.
Yeah, the same Mummy, twice.
Hand me the green wire,
will you, please?
Are you sure, you know
what you're doing?
Of course, I've done this
a hundred times.
If the Emperor places "The Eye"
up there, all will be lost.
Clear the path to the Golden Tower.
Prove yourself to me.
Get ready!
Let's give them a warm
"O'Connell" welcome.
Attack!
Fire!
- Bazooka!...
- Fire!
Fire!
Alex, follow me!
Move! Move in!
We gotta take out those bazookas!
- Fire!
- Go!
Fall back!
Move, move, move!...
Time to go to plan B,
blow up the tower.
Actually, I'm a little bid
concerned about plan B...
couldn't we just change that,
to plan C?
Get back there, go back!
I'll cover you.
Run, they're already
moving up the stairs.
Set up a crossfire!
Move it!
My last one.
Yeti!
Where are you?
I need you!
Yeti! Please come, quick!
Abominable snow-men?
The Tibetans' call them Yeti.
Please! I need your help!
These soldiers are evil!
She speaks "Yeti"?
Shoot! Kill them!
Why am I always,
have to save the day?
You know what,
I think the kid was right.
Get the other guy!
Watch out, Lin!
Behind you!
That's it! You can die
slowly or you can die fast?
I'm not scared of you.
Yeah...
I did It! Oh, no... I did it.
Time for a retreat, I think.
I'm on your team...
I'm a team player! One for all.
all for me, kind'a thing.
The dynamite! All that dynamite...
we should... huh, get out of here.
Wough! Back off!
Back off!
Run! Run!
Oh... I hate mummies!
They never play fair.
Dad!
Dad, what're you doing?
Over here! Over here!
Come on, over here.
Oh, no.
Rick!
Shangri-la!
Oh...
That's a diamond.
I could use a diamond like that.
Dad!
Dear, God...
Hold on dad, please, please hold,
I'm sorry dad, I just couldn't resist.
I'm alright, it's okay, I've been
in worse scrapes then this.
Avalanche!
Help, Help me!
Rick!
Please, help me!
Yeah! I'm still here!
And I'm still alife!
I'm over here, please,
somebody help me!
- We're over here! We're over here!
- Alex?
- Mom, we're down here!
- Alex!
We're over here.
Oh, my God!
We've got to take him to Shangri-La now,
it's our only chance.
We made it!
The pool!
Mother.
My sweet daughter.
I beg you.
My father is dying.
These are my friends.
Please.
Come.
Thank you.
He must rest, we'll take
him to my chamber.
Where are you going, General?
Our destiny awaits.
Well, it's not everyone, that gets their
brother in law, back from the death.
Yeah, I give'm my first
Is this Shangri-La?
I can live here,
lots of opportunity...
A casino!
I was wrong to involve
you in my revenge.
No, mother.
I would do anything for you.
They're resting all.
Thank you.
How did you get
involved in all this?
The Emperor murdered
the only man I've ever loved.
Lin's father.
I would have died too
by his hand...
if the Yeti's had not found me,
and brought me to this pool.
Huh... look...
how this all happened is...
even before Christ?
And how long have you
guarded his tomb?
Over two thousand years.
The Emperor must never be
allowed to reach the pool.
Or he'll have the power
to raise his army.
And once he becomes immortal,
he can transform himself...
into the most hideous
creatures ever seen.
I will take the first watch
at the entrance.
I... huh, I have no problem,
dating an older woman.
I'm afraid we can't be together.
Huh... why?
Because I will be living forever.
I don't want to watch you die.
So what? That's it?
You just gonna sit on the
sideline for eternity.
My mother has mourned of
my father for the centuries.
I don't know if my heart
can bear it.
People can live an entire
lifetime in one day.
I wish my parents could live everyday.
Alex!... Your father is awake.
Get up here.
Hello.
If this is heaven, it looks
pretty good so far.
Hmm...
Nice to see somethings never change.
Go easy on him,
he feels terrible.
When I saw you lying there, Dad.
I've... I've never been
so scared in my life.
Well, that makes two of us.
I mean... huh, you're not
supposed to die...
you're "Ricochete" O'Connell, right?
You get beat up, you get
tossed around and...
and yet you're the one
standing at the end.
I really don't know, what I would
have done in the world without you.
Alex...
the truth is...
I'm just trying to...
I'm ju...
I'm trying to be a good husband
and I'm trying to be good parent...
and the truth is, I've been
dropping the ball lately and, huh...
No dad, I haven't been the
worlds greatest's son.
It's not what it means, because
she's got the rest out of me.
Come here.
My boys.
You look tired, you should rest.
I'll stay.
Fate is about to deal
it's final hand.
If we are to defeat the Emperor...
I must ask for one more sacrifce.
Anything, Mother.
Your immortality.
Oh, no, his power
has been fully restored.
Time to go.
General Ming's daughter.
Your child will be mine.
He is immortal.
Die! You three headed, (?)
to be, son of a bitch!
- Lin!
- Lin!
Alex!
Alex!
He is taking her back to his
Tomb to raise his army.
Is there a faster way
to get down from here?
The Yeti's can't help.
But he's already in the air,
It'll be too late.
"Mad Dog" can out fly a three headed
lizard anyday of the week. Let's go!
Board-side, at nine o'clock.
Rick... should I quit drinking?
Jonathan to Rick!
You've better get move on...
if you gonna beat him to the Tomb.
Yeah, yeah, just get back here as
fast as you can, for reinforcements...
no sight seeing.
Here, dad.
- Lend me?
- Yeah.
Nice!
The Terracotta army
is not indestructible...
until it crosses the great wall.
It's a good point, how exactly,
we're supposed to do that?
When the Emperor build the wall, he
buried his enemies underneath it...
then cursed their souls,
to hold it up for eternity.
Most of them were
conquered soldiers.
I will call them to battle
once again.
We mark on altar,
raise an army...
that sounds like a plan.
Let's go.
Grab her!
Guard her with your life.
Alex?
- Where'd he go?
- Where do you think?
AWAKE!
Today you awake to a world...
in the grip of
chaos and corruption.
Open the gate of the past and free the
souls of the wrong who he's damned.
I will restore order...
I will retake what is mine.
I will crush any idea of freedom.
In the name of the ancesters
and rightious...
I sacrifice my immortality
and that's of my daughter...
so that you may rise this day.
I will slaughter without mercy.
I will conquer without compassion.
I will now lead you
past the Great Wall.
Once you cross,
you will be indestructible.
Bring down the wrong of
the oppressed on this Emperor...
and all who follow him.
I raised you for one purpose...
to enforce my will
on the entire world!
Long live the Emperor!
I call up on the hundreds,
and the thousands...
that you may rise up
and seize this moment...
to take your victory,
to take your justice...
and to take your revenge!
Zi Juan.
Let's go!
It's General Ming!
Follow General Ming!
Prepare for battle!
These are...
you're the good dead guys, right?
You are the good dead guys.
- Do you think they speak English?
- We're with Zi Yuan.
- Zi Juan?
- Yes.
To battle!
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Archer form up!
They're coming.
Fire!
- Hey, that's my favorite blue shirt.
- That's what I hate about you.
Death to General Ming!
Charge!
Welcome to 20th century.
We can't let them cross the wall!
You are no longer immortal.
Honey! Fall back, to a higher ground.
- I really hate Mummies.
- It seems the feeling is mutual.
Shut up, and get the hell
away from me, boy!
Run!
- Here!
- Got it!
It's time I tell you, I've been
in more scrapes then that...
it's time to hit back.
Die! You Mummy bastards! Die!
There is no cause,
for bad language.
Jonathan, certainly knows,
how to make an entry.
Any regrets, darling?
No, none, not ever.
- You okay?
- Yeah, sure, no problem.
- We had it completely under control.
- There.
This guy ever run out of tricks?
Mother! No!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother! Dear...
Hit this through his heart.
You must live, okay?
And fight on.
- She said, through the heart.
- Through the heart.
Come on.
Get in!
The O'Connell's are going to
stop the Emperor!
- Once we get in, what's the plan?
- "Divide and conquer".
No offense, big man,
you sure about that detail?
Yang, just crossed the road.
Hang on!
Remember our deal, when this is over,
my men get to drink for free.
You can keep the whole
damn bar, for all I care...
I'm getting the hell out of China.
There!...
I dug you up...
and I'm gonna put you down.
Alex?
Alex.
- Let go!
- Never!
Enough tricks! Where is your honor?
Fight like a man.
Devide...
and conquer.
Now you can rule...
in hell!
The Emperor is dead!
The Emperor is dead!
- Evening girls. Looking well.
- Good evening Mr. Maguire.
Have a very nice evening.
You dance great for an old lady.
Someone told me to stop
living on the sidelines.
Well, he you sounds
like the smart guy.
He is.
So, you got Dash and Scarlett,
on there next adventure?
Why wright about it,
when you can live it.
There's something incredibly romantic,
about vanquishing the undead.
Even more romantic,
to be here with you.
- Hush up and kiss me.
- Don't have to ask me twice.
Let me get your bag, Sir.
No, no, no, don't touch it,
don't touch it.
Where're you off to, Mr. O'Connell?
Oh, some place where
they don't have Mummies.
- Step on it, I have a plane to catch.
- Yes, Sir.
Ciao, Ciao Shanghai,
Peru, here I come.
between Good and Evil...
played out in ancient China.
The country was torn
by civil war...
with many Kingdoms struggling,
for land and power.
But one King,
had the ruthless ambition...
to make himself Emperor
by the sword.
Leave me!
Prepare for war!
The other rulers hired assassins
to kill that king...
before he could conquer them all.
Stop! I am not harmed.
We attack tonight!
Kingdom to Kingdom, his armies
swept away everything in it's path.
And anyone who resisted,
met a terrible fate.
The country was his.
He was now Emperor,
of all unto heaven.
He enslaved his conquered enemies...
and forced them to build
his great wall...
and when they were dead or useless,
he had them burried beneath it.
The Emperor's mystics', taught him
mastery over the five elements.
Fire, water, earth, wood and metal.
His power seemed without limit.
He was the Master of millions',
but like the lowliest peasant...
he could not stop growing old.
I have too much to do,
for one lifetime.
He needed to defeat,
his last enemy...
Death itself.
One day news came,
of a powerful witch...
who was rumored to know,
the secret to eternal life.
He ordered General Ming,
his oldest friend...
and trusted ally, to find her.
The witch was named Zi Juan...
and she was nothing like
the General expected.
Your Majesty...
Rise up.
I do not possess the secret
of immortality, my Lord...
but I know where to find it.
General...
No man is to touch her.
She is mine.
On the western border, stood
the Monastery of Tzu Fang...
there was housed, the greatest
library in the ancient world.
And Zi Juan was sure, the secret
to eternal life was here.
This is a key.
It was the long lost
"Oracle Bone"...
a collection of all the mystical
secrets, of the ancient world.
The Emperor's answer was here...
along with other magic,
beyond imagining.
You have served me well.
I will grant you
anything you desire.
I want to spend my
life with General Ming.
Of course.
Read.
She casted the spell in "Sanskrit"...
an ancient language, that the
Emperor did not understand.
I feel the spell working.
I am now immortal.
Come, I want to show you something.
No, why?
Become my queen and I let him live.
Do what he says! Save yourself!
You will never keep your word.
You are right.
Now, join General Ming in hell.
What did you do to me?
I cursed you and your army.
Surround the Palace!
The Emperor is in trouble!
The curse must never
be lifted...
or the Emperor will rise again,
to enslave all of man-kind.
On that dark day, there will be
nothing and no one, to save us.
THE MUMMY
TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR
You can run...
but you can't hide.
FLY FISHING
Hm'mm... one o'clock.
Ten o'clock.
One o'clock.
Ten o'clock.
One o'clo... and this is something,
a girl won't ever have to do...
Oh...
Ah'ha...
Ahh... oh...
Bite on this!
Evey, I'm home!
Mrs. O'Connell is at her book-
reading, Sir, she'll be home for dinner.
Oh, right, that's great,
'cause we're having fish.
You didn't think,
I'd catch anything, did you?
- I had the utmost confidence, Sir.
- Hmm...
There's a hook in your neck, Sir.
Shall I fetch the wire cutters?
Fall back!
Fall back!
Come, come on!
Now savely on-board the airship...
with the Mummy finally vanquished,
Dash, swept Scarlett into his arms.
Oh god, Scarlett,
I thought I lost you.
For a moment Dash, you did.
Bade in rays of golden sun-light...
our heros sealed their reunion,
with a kiss of time-less passion...
their love deeper and surer,
than ever.
Mrs. O'Connell!...
we're all dying to know...
is the Scarlett O'Keefe character,
really based on you?
Honestly I can say, she's a
completely different person.
Are there any more questions?
- Mrs. O'Connell,
- Mrs. O'Connell...
Is your life today as exciting,
as it was before the war?
I wish my life was that exciting now.
- Will there be another book in this series?
- Do you believe in happy ending?
Isn't this blissful?
Dinner at home!
- Hm'mm, every night!
- Every night!
- Here's to retirement.
- May we stay this happy forever.
Still no letters from Alex.
I wrote him 3, in the last month.
Well, what'd you expect?
The only time you hear from the kid...
when he's getting kicked out of
college, or he needs more money.
I'm sure, he's just buried
in his studies.
So, how did your book-reading go?
Oh fine, thank you.
Until they ask me, will there
be another Mummy adventure...
But you did promise the
publisher a third book.
I know...
but I spend my nights, staring at
a blank page, completely blocked...
We can skip dinner...
and I could... hm'mm...
attempt to...
inspire you...
- upstairs.
- Oh, that's so sweet of you, darling.
I'm going to sit at that typewriter,
until something exciting comes out.
Thank you.
Oh... trout!
How lovely!
I'm so happy you found something,
that doesn't involve guns.
NINGXIA PROVINCE, CHINA
Don't worry,
we'll find the entrance today.
Li Tung, what's for lunch?
Noodle soup.
Very good.
Good, Professor Wilson's back.
- You're a couple of days late, Professor.
- Ah'ha...
I was beginning to think,
you've run into bandits.
Oh, my dear fellow,
thank you for your concern.
- You're thirsty?
- Oh yes, please, thank you.
You know, when I saw you
standing up there...
I thought, I was looking
at your father.
You really are Rick O'Connell's son.
Yeah, well, hopefully after today...
he'll be known as
Alex O'Connell's father.
What a powerful face!
When I told my colleagues',
at the Museum...
that you had discovered
the Colossus, they were thrilled.
- Yeah, however...
- I know...
when I'm gonna get in that Tomb?
Ah... don't let the buggers
get you down.
It was you who discovered
the Bembridge journal...
and with it,
you discover the Emperor.
I have complete faith in you, Alex.
Thank you, Professor.
Thanks, for believing in me.
- We found it!
- I think they found it!
We found it!
We found the door!
The...
vile Mummy?...
No, cursed Mummy...
mysterious Mummy...
the evil Mummy.
Prepare to die!
Agh'hm...
Rick?
Darling, where are you?
I'm ready to be "inspired".
So...
do you remember the time when
the Mummy had me tied... down?
And you came to save me...
and you... cut, no you tore open
the ropes, that's what you did...
just, as he was about to plunge his...
Oh... rats.
Watch out!
- I guess, he didn't want any houseguests.
- No.
Stay together.
It's Colin Bembridge.
Oh, god...
He went searching for
this Tomb, 70 years ago.
It's left here as a warning.
Unfortunately, this is not the dead
man, that's gonna make us famous.
Let's keep moving.
Look at it, Alex.
It's amazing!
Chu Wah!
Oh,.. no... Alex...
We're getting out!
No, no, don't! Stop!
Alex, stay here!
Come on!
Danger comes with the territory,
you know that better than anyone.
Alex!
Listen! Listen, heh?
You've done a good job, good job.
Good job.
All the warriors are facing
into this point.
They're still waiting
to get orders from him.
Then where is he?
I still think some bloody grave robbers,
have beaten us to the prize, do you?
No, he's still here, let's see,
this is the Feng Shui compass.
Okay... now!
This... this is true north.
The Feng Shui compass,
is set the opposite direction.
- Alright, we need to realine it.
- Right.
- Right, realine.
- Alright, here we are.
Ahh...
Alex!... Alex, speak to me!
You alright?
- Alex!
- I'm fine.
Tell me, have we found the Emperor?
Alex?
What is it?
We've got one of the greatest
finds, since King Tut.
"He is awakening".
"All mortals despair".
It's definitely him!
Wough... he had his concubines
buried alive with him.
Egotistical bastard.
Hey, Professor Wilson, you wanna
come down and take a look?
Or you, huh... so overwhelmed,
you can't talk.
Wilson!
Let's go, Professor.
- We've got a lot'a work to do.
- Right.
First of all,
I just want to say...
the Foreign-office appreciates
what all you did, during the war.
But, I've been send to offer
you, one last assignment.
I'm afraid, we've retired
from the espionage game...
- haven't we, dear?
- Yeah! We don't do it anymore.
We finished,
we're completely done.
Well, just out of curiosity,
what is the mission anyway?
We need you to courier this...
to Shanghai.
- It's a piece of eyes.
- It's the "Eye of Shangri-la".
If you believe the legend, it points
the way to the pool, of eternal life.
It was smuggled
out of China in 1940...
and now the government, would like
to return it to the Shanghai Museum...
as a sign of good faith,
to the Chinese people.
And with your expertise
in the field, we naturally...
thought of you.
Oh, we would be so flattered!
Oh... huh, but Rick and I,
we made a promise to each other...
after the war... that we would,
hm'mm... calm down.
That's right, dear,
we did, didn't we...
I see.
Well, I must admit,
I'm a little disappointed...
first of all China is... very
dangerous...
their are a lot of factions...
would love to get their hands,
on the "Eye of Shangri-la".
If it left our hands...
the "Eye" could be lost forever.
Oh, we couldn't let
that happened, could we?
No, that could... could
be bad for the... world.
- It be terrible.
- Mm'hmm.
You know, she has a brother
that lives in Shang...
Jonathan!
Yes, he owns a Night-club,
if I'm not mistaken.
We have been meaning to visit,
we could... drop in and surprise him.
- We will?...
- Why not?
Does this mean, we can count
on you, one last time?
Yes!
Shanghai, CHINA
CHINIESE NEW YEAR, 1947
Here's to you, princess.
And I'm gonna tell you,
may the bugger actualy stay there.
- Now, "Skol".
- "Bingo"!
Hi, can you buy a drink for me?
Exuse me, Alex, hey!
Alex, you're back again!
Come here, Alex!
Let me get you a drink.
John's special,
for the top pharaoh explorer.
Make that two...
sorry uncle John, but...
- I got a better offer.
- No, no Alex, no, look...
listen, huh...
okay, come here, to put it
in archeological terms...
that's the Tomb, in which
many pharaohs' have been laid.
Now listen, listen... just think
about me for a moment, alright?
Your discovery is going
public in a few days...
your parents are sure to find out.
They're not gonna be happy,
you dropped out of school...
Will you relax, uncle John, okay?
I'm here, and they're
a long way away.
Excuse me, okay?
I have some excavation to do.
Jonathan!
You're in China! Evey!...
Rick! What're you?...
It's so...
- nice, for you to drop in!
- Brother, we love to see you!
I had no idea he was here...
- Who's here?
- Who?
You stay away from her.
- Dad?
- Alex?
Now, look! What did he do!
- Jonathan, what's going on?
- I don't know!
- Go away, and let her go.
- You better go and tell him...
or, I will kill the kid.
Not so fast, that's my... kid.
- "Mad Dog" McGuire?
- "Ricochet" O'Connell!
Alex, sweetheart, are you alright?
Friends, it's just a
little family reunion...
so, let's get back and
have a good time. Music!
- How long has it been!
- Egypt, 23, French Foreign Legion.
This guy can land
a plane on anything.
Ricochet, let me tell you, he
had his hands on my little girl.
Now, Son or no son,
I gotta give him a beating.
- Oh yeah, what you gonna do?
- Back off!
As much as I really like to
teach him a valuable lesson...
His mother would be upset,
very upset.
- You have a lot to explain.
- With the wife now, and the kid...
things are a little bid different,
I'm sure you understand.
- Yeah.
- Let me make it up to you.
- Sorry, mom.
- I'm just suprised to see, that's all.
- Comming.
- Alright?
I'm not here 5 minutes, and I'm already
pulling your fanny out of the fire.
- You're going back to college.
- I think it's not gonna be worth it.
You two show up,
and tell me what to do?
Honey! We should sit down and
discuss this like a family.
No offense mom, but we haven't
been a family in a long time.
Hey, don't you turn
your back on me, Alex!
Alex, don't...
Alex, come here.
Did you...
Don't look at me like that.
Huh...
- It's all your fault.
- My fault?
You're the one who's always
smothering him...
you can't even look at him for
Perhaps I was over
compensating for the fact...
that you've never took
an interest in his life.
His life...
is my top priority.
How many time I saved that
kid from breaking his neck?
A little warmth and encouragement,
would have been nice.
I'm his father...
It's implied.
We spent our entire life,
searching for priceless artefacts...
and the one thing that's most
precious to us, we've lost.
We can't let Alex become...
a stranger, in pictures,
on our mantle.
- We can't let it happen.
- No, we can't.
How will we fix this?
We need to do it together.
PARAMILITARY OUTPOS WESTERN CHINA
The O'Connell's are in Shanghai.
Do they have the Eye of Shangri-la?
Our spy says they do.
Good.
Assemble the troops!
Yes, Sir.
Attention!
Soldiers!
Soon all our training and sacrifice...
will bear great fruit.
It is my dream to raise
our Emperor from his Tomb.
Only he can bring order
out of this chaos.
Soldiers...
tonight our great battle begins!
- Hail! Hail!
- Hail!
I think walking is faster,
or if we take a ricksaw.
It's Chinese New Year.
Don't you love this country?
With so many extra little holidays...
and drinking is mandatory.
I can't believe, we get to
see your first big discovery.
- It's so exciting.
- Well, after last night...
I'm surprised,
we get to see it at all.
This car will pick you up
in about an hour.
- You're not coming?
- Oh, no.
I've seen enough mummies,
to last a lifetime.
There he is.
Oh, my darling,
very impressive.
When you get to open
the sarcophagus?
Well, I have to wait for the
official red tape's been cut.
The words "Rest in Peace"
mean anything, to you two?
So mom, why don't you stick
around for the next few days...
and we can open it together?
I'd like that very much, thanks.
Alex... huh, won't you go and tell
Professor Wilson that we're here?
- Hm'mm?
- No problem.
- Okay.
- Oh, just...
don't wake the big guy up,
while I'm gone.
I promise!
Hey, Alex, huh'mm...
you know, this is all...
really, really, big stuff.
Whatever you say, dad.
What?
Oh, there's a certain glow about
you, I haven't seen in a long time.
I guess Mummys bring
out the best in me.
Take a wrong turn into Cairo?
Sorry to interrupt.
- Roger.
- Professor Roger Wilson.
Hello, Rick.
You know, when Alex told me...
that you had gone legit, I just...
- couldn't believe my ears.
- Well, now I just pillage Tombs...
in the name of preservation.
Evelyn!
Congratulations,
on your latest discovery.
Alex deserves all the credit,
he's one hell of a kid.
- He's like a son I never had.
- He's the only one we've got.
So, next time you send him
on one of your field trips...
- you give us the heads up first.
- Yes, yes, of course.
And now I believe, you have
something that belongs to us.
- What's that?
- Hm'mm?
Oh, you mean this?
Oh... really.
Exuse me.
Wough...
Here, go ahead, here.
All yours... Rog.
I knew I could rely on you two.
I'm afraid your work is not done yet,
Mr. and Mrs. O'Connell.
I'd like to introduce you
to a friend of mine...
- General Yang.
- Roger!
Well, he is the man who
financed Alex's dig...
We're in this together...
body and soul.
General.
Search him!
"The Eye" belongs to Chinese
people, you can't do this.
So, Rog, you snake.
How much did... huh,
Ying... Yang pay you?
Enough to pull strings
at the foreign office.
Make sure it was you two
who delivered "The Eye".
- Turn around!
- "The Eye" contains...
the elixir from the pool
of eternal life.
I need you to open it,
Mrs. O'Connell.
No, you're going to use it,
to wake the emperor, aren't you?
And his terracota army.
At least that's the general idea.
Raising an army of Mummies
is insane.
- Listen Yang...
- Shut up!
We're waiting.
Time to open the sarcophagus.
Move it!
Read the inscription, now!
Ancient Chinese isn't my forte.
Here is some encouragement.
Wilson!
- Don't do it!
- No Evey, don't do it.
They're just gonna
kill me anyway.
The inscription says,
that only a drop of blood...
from a person of pure
heart can open "The Eye. "
Your husband was right.
No!
Only the pure at heart, will sacrifice
themselves for the one they love.
Open it.
You never called
after our last date.
I don't have time
for games, Alex.
You know my name, but, huh...
I don't know yours.
It's Lin.
You... huh, wanna explain to me...
why you tried to kill me?
We could do that,
or we could save your parents.
Wilson, you son of a bitch.
Get with it, O'Connell.
Alright...
Once this touched his hand...
the Emperor will rise,
To rule again.
Finish him off.
Alex, please...
Oh, no, no don't, no, please.
Alex, please.
That's not him.
This is a unique.
It's a decoy.
Where the hell
is the Emperor then?
Stay!...
No!
Here we go again.
Ahh...
I live to serve you, my Lord.
I can help you become immortal.
If you are lying, you will burn.
Wait, wait,
you wait for me!
I'm coming with you,
just wait up...
Watch out!
Come on, come on, we gotta catch
up with that Mummy real fast.
The longer we wait,
the stronger he get's.
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
- Open the gate!
- Wait for me.
Hey! Stop! Stop! Stop!
- Okay, hold it!
- You crazy nut.
Yea, yea, yea, I know, you better get
out, there's a Mummy on the loose...
- I need your truck! You wanna drive?
- Why not?
God, I love a woman,
who can drive a truck.
Hey pal, I'm sorry, here...
take this. Happy New Year!
Hurry, honey!
No... move over!
No!
God!
Jonathan, get in the back.
- Sorry about Rolls.
- You guys are like Mummy magnets!
To the right!
- We have to turn you around!
- Okay.
Excuse me.
- Hey, we cold use this.
- Give it to me.
- Oh yeah, that's a better idea.
- Size counts.
Stop messing about,
he's getting away.
Alright, that's it.
- Aim for the Emperor!
- Aim for the Emperor, me?
- Light the fuse.
- I'll try.
Fire!...
Did we get him?
- Fire!
- Fire? What?
- The back of your ass is on fire!
- My ass?
- Hold still, I'm trying to put it out!
- My ass is on fire!
- Put me out, Rick!
- I'm working on it!
Spank my ass!
Spank my ass!
Alright, let go.
Give me your hand!
Wait...
- Where're you going?
- I know a shortcut.
Evey!
I told you, it was a shortcut.
Wow, now they're chasing us.
Hurry!
Evey here, here you'll need these.
- Don't wait for me.
- Where're you going.
Out.
- Where's Rick?
- Where'd you think?
Nut's...
That's just great.
Wough!
Give me your hand
and get on this horse.
Get back, dad!
Alexander Rupert O'Connell,
you get right on this horse...
this instant!
Get out'a the way, Evey!
Get out'a the way!
Wough...
Evey!
We gotta go back to help Rick.
Rick? Forget Rick, here they come!
- I'll go after the Emperor.
- Trust me...
I got a little more
experience with Mummies.
But I have the only weapon
that can kill him.
Okay, I'll cover you.
Let's go!
- I thought you were dead.
- He missed.
Here!
Take this.
Wough!...
Now...
No...
Oh, no.
Huh... ahh... thanks Rick...
- will you pay the cab?
- Does it look like I have a wallet?
You know I would've killed the Emperor,
if you two hadn't blown my cover.
I had everything under control.
Oh, yeah, that's exactly
what we were thinking.
Oh yeah, good going,
you raised another Mummy.
And this bugger has superpowers.
He's got control over fire, water,
metal and who knows what else.
- And you dug him up anyway.
- You ain't gonna pin this one on me...
- okay, dad?
- Stop it, you two!
No one's to blame here.
- Wilson manipulated all of us.
- Well, that's true.
I appologize for my parents.
But, I... I thought, we went
through it well together.
Except we failed.
I'm sorry, we haven't
been properly introduce.
- Who are you exactly?
- My name is Lin.
My family has watched over the
Emperor's Tomb for centuries.
The Emperor can not be killed,
unless he is stabbed...
through the heart with this... My
mother put a curse on it long ago.
Hm'hm...
Very well,
quick family meeting, alright?
- Sit down!
- Well.
What do you really know
about this girl?
Well, not much.
But after I helped, I'm willing
to go on a little faith.
- Fai...
- Time is running out.
You do believe in the concept
of personal space, do you?
If the Emperor reaches Shangri-La and
drinks from the pool of eternal life...
he will raise his army,
and no one will be save.
I just kind'a like to say this,
boys stay handsome forever.
- Shangri-La is crock.
- You know, that's what...
you used to say about Mummies too,
John, you did pretty well with it.
- Well said.
- The gate way to Shangri-La...
lies in the mountain pass,
high in the Himalayas.
Beyond it, is the golden tower.
Once the diamond is
placed on top...
it will point the way
to Shangri-La.
Yang still has the diamond, and that
is where he and the Emperor will go.
She's right,
all the legends of "The Eye"...
mention the gateway.
I like her, Alex,
she knows what's what.
Let's just say, that
we were to believe you.
- Could you guide us there?
- Yes, I have been there once.
I remember the way.
Himalayas?
Means in a plane.
Huh... I just know
the "Mad-Dog" for the job.
I know, no self respecting pilot,
would land on the valley floor...
but I don't have any
self respect, so what...
I'll put you down
the mountain half ways.
That still will give
us the advantage.
Sure, but no guarantee
anyone will live.
Really!
I'd tell you,
fasten your seat belt...
but I'm to cheap to buy any.
- Why am I laughing?
- Here we go...
be calm, it's safe and secure.
Let's go!
We're gonna crash.
- Hang on!
- Don't anybody move!
Nobody move!
Nobody move!
- Huh?
- What is by god, this awful smell?
The yak, they yaked... uh...
Welcome to the modern world, my Lord.
Why did you raise me?
I love this land.
Only you can lead us back to greatness.
What is in it for you?
I want to serve as your general.
The last general I trusted...
betrayed me.
I will not make that mistake.
I cannot escape this curse
until I am mortal...
General.
I understand, my Lord.
We need to find the Pool
of Eternal Life.
This will point the way.
We must do it quick,
to free me from this curse.
Delta, tango, alfa, to Ricochet.
Come in Ricochet.
Delta, tango, alfa, this is Ricochet.
Go ahead Mad Dog.
Rick, you know that Yang fellow,
you told me to keep my eye out for...
- he just showed up.
- Ricochet out, thanks Mad Dog.
It's those people, let's go.
Jonathan, wake up!
What?
Take a break!
We reached more than
half way, we're gonna...
we're gonna camp up there
for tonight.
Lin said, if we leave
at first light...
we'll reach the gateway by noon.
Did she happened to mention, how
she knows so much about the gateway?
No, not really.
She's kind'a mysterious.
She certainly managed
to enchant you.
Come on, Alex.
You obviously like her.
Mom, the wind down there,
is clearly messing with your head.
What clever secret
she's hiding, I...
I just don't want
to see you get hurt.
Hey, I appreciate that, but...
you know, I had my fair share of
experience with the opposite sex.
Really?
Huh... how many experiences
we're talking about?
Huh... well... huh, you shouldn't...
you shouldn't ask questions, you
don't wanna know the answers too...
- okay, mom?
- Right.
Hey! Mom.
Sorry I blamed you guys for
for raising the Emperor.
Hm'mm...
- What's so funny?
- Oh, well...
my mother is under the impression,
there's something between us.
I hope nothing romantic.
Yeah, well, I... huh, I told her
there was no chance of that.
We're the opposites
you and me, right?
You guard Tombs, I raid them...
you like ancient knives,
I'm into guns.
Those are some pretty
insurmountable odds.
Absolutely.
Well, good.
Now that we've cleared that up...
let's focus on taking
down the Emperor.
I agree totally.
Besides, you're not my type.
Of course not.
You don't like a woman, who can
knock you on the back side.
Expression, "Kick my Ass".
For the record...
you didn't.
It's not easy being me.
Oh, yeah, that's about
as easy as being you...
isn't it, Geraldine?
Well, if I met a girl like
you Geraldine...
you know, hard working,
don't say much...
a little bit hairy,
but... I don't mind that.
There it is! We found it!
The gate way of Shangri-la.
Go, girl, go.
You're free.
Go, Geraldine.
Living free.
What did you do now?
Rob an armory?
Have you ever seen
a Walter P-38?
It's pretty anemic,
compared to a peacekeeper.
Well, it's not about size, dad.
It's about stamina.
You want power?
I give you...
the Thompson submachine gun.
The Tommy is good, dad, but the
cocking mechanism always jams.
Here, check out the Russian
PPS. personal assault weapon.
- Now this, is the future right here.
- You know it's experience...
that wins today, it's not all
about fire power.
Boys, if I may? Do we have
a plan for the Emperor?
Yeah, we're gonna hit him
high hard and fast...
and smash him like a Ming vase.
- And if that doesn't work?
- We go to plan B.
Plan B! You go upstairs, you
blow up that gold tower thing.
You light it up,
and blow the guy sky high.
- Me?
- Hey dad!
- What?
- If the explosion won't kill us...
the avalanche will.
- You got a better idea.
- Yeah I do, I set the ambush...
- with a long range rifle, we...
- Long range that's better.
gotta get close to him, dad, then we
can finish him off with Lin's dagger.
Look, I'm sorry, I just don't put
to much faith, in your girlfriends...
- magic dagger.
- okay dad, she's not my girlfriend.
You say that now, but
I still don't trust her.
Well I do, so you should
trust my judgment, okay?
Look kid, I put down more
Mummies in my time than you.
You put down one Mummy, dad.
Yeah, the same Mummy, twice.
Hand me the green wire,
will you, please?
Are you sure, you know
what you're doing?
Of course, I've done this
a hundred times.
If the Emperor places "The Eye"
up there, all will be lost.
Clear the path to the Golden Tower.
Prove yourself to me.
Get ready!
Let's give them a warm
"O'Connell" welcome.
Attack!
Fire!
- Bazooka!...
- Fire!
Fire!
Alex, follow me!
Move! Move in!
We gotta take out those bazookas!
- Fire!
- Go!
Fall back!
Move, move, move!...
Time to go to plan B,
blow up the tower.
Actually, I'm a little bid
concerned about plan B...
couldn't we just change that,
to plan C?
Get back there, go back!
I'll cover you.
Run, they're already
moving up the stairs.
Set up a crossfire!
Move it!
My last one.
Yeti!
Where are you?
I need you!
Yeti! Please come, quick!
Abominable snow-men?
The Tibetans' call them Yeti.
Please! I need your help!
These soldiers are evil!
She speaks "Yeti"?
Shoot! Kill them!
Why am I always,
have to save the day?
You know what,
I think the kid was right.
Get the other guy!
Watch out, Lin!
Behind you!
That's it! You can die
slowly or you can die fast?
I'm not scared of you.
Yeah...
I did It! Oh, no... I did it.
Time for a retreat, I think.
I'm on your team...
I'm a team player! One for all.
all for me, kind'a thing.
The dynamite! All that dynamite...
we should... huh, get out of here.
Wough! Back off!
Back off!
Run! Run!
Oh... I hate mummies!
They never play fair.
Dad!
Dad, what're you doing?
Over here! Over here!
Come on, over here.
Oh, no.
Rick!
Shangri-la!
Oh...
That's a diamond.
I could use a diamond like that.
Dad!
Dear, God...
Hold on dad, please, please hold,
I'm sorry dad, I just couldn't resist.
I'm alright, it's okay, I've been
in worse scrapes then this.
Avalanche!
Help, Help me!
Rick!
Please, help me!
Yeah! I'm still here!
And I'm still alife!
I'm over here, please,
somebody help me!
- We're over here! We're over here!
- Alex?
- Mom, we're down here!
- Alex!
We're over here.
Oh, my God!
We've got to take him to Shangri-La now,
it's our only chance.
We made it!
The pool!
Mother.
My sweet daughter.
I beg you.
My father is dying.
These are my friends.
Please.
Come.
Thank you.
He must rest, we'll take
him to my chamber.
Where are you going, General?
Our destiny awaits.
Well, it's not everyone, that gets their
brother in law, back from the death.
Yeah, I give'm my first
Is this Shangri-La?
I can live here,
lots of opportunity...
A casino!
I was wrong to involve
you in my revenge.
No, mother.
I would do anything for you.
They're resting all.
Thank you.
How did you get
involved in all this?
The Emperor murdered
the only man I've ever loved.
Lin's father.
I would have died too
by his hand...
if the Yeti's had not found me,
and brought me to this pool.
Huh... look...
how this all happened is...
even before Christ?
And how long have you
guarded his tomb?
Over two thousand years.
The Emperor must never be
allowed to reach the pool.
Or he'll have the power
to raise his army.
And once he becomes immortal,
he can transform himself...
into the most hideous
creatures ever seen.
I will take the first watch
at the entrance.
I... huh, I have no problem,
dating an older woman.
I'm afraid we can't be together.
Huh... why?
Because I will be living forever.
I don't want to watch you die.
So what? That's it?
You just gonna sit on the
sideline for eternity.
My mother has mourned of
my father for the centuries.
I don't know if my heart
can bear it.
People can live an entire
lifetime in one day.
I wish my parents could live everyday.
Alex!... Your father is awake.
Get up here.
Hello.
If this is heaven, it looks
pretty good so far.
Hmm...
Nice to see somethings never change.
Go easy on him,
he feels terrible.
When I saw you lying there, Dad.
I've... I've never been
so scared in my life.
Well, that makes two of us.
I mean... huh, you're not
supposed to die...
you're "Ricochete" O'Connell, right?
You get beat up, you get
tossed around and...
and yet you're the one
standing at the end.
I really don't know, what I would
have done in the world without you.
Alex...
the truth is...
I'm just trying to...
I'm ju...
I'm trying to be a good husband
and I'm trying to be good parent...
and the truth is, I've been
dropping the ball lately and, huh...
No dad, I haven't been the
worlds greatest's son.
It's not what it means, because
she's got the rest out of me.
Come here.
My boys.
You look tired, you should rest.
I'll stay.
Fate is about to deal
it's final hand.
If we are to defeat the Emperor...
I must ask for one more sacrifce.
Anything, Mother.
Your immortality.
Oh, no, his power
has been fully restored.
Time to go.
General Ming's daughter.
Your child will be mine.
He is immortal.
Die! You three headed, (?)
to be, son of a bitch!
- Lin!
- Lin!
Alex!
Alex!
He is taking her back to his
Tomb to raise his army.
Is there a faster way
to get down from here?
The Yeti's can't help.
But he's already in the air,
It'll be too late.
"Mad Dog" can out fly a three headed
lizard anyday of the week. Let's go!
Board-side, at nine o'clock.
Rick... should I quit drinking?
Jonathan to Rick!
You've better get move on...
if you gonna beat him to the Tomb.
Yeah, yeah, just get back here as
fast as you can, for reinforcements...
no sight seeing.
Here, dad.
- Lend me?
- Yeah.
Nice!
The Terracotta army
is not indestructible...
until it crosses the great wall.
It's a good point, how exactly,
we're supposed to do that?
When the Emperor build the wall, he
buried his enemies underneath it...
then cursed their souls,
to hold it up for eternity.
Most of them were
conquered soldiers.
I will call them to battle
once again.
We mark on altar,
raise an army...
that sounds like a plan.
Let's go.
Grab her!
Guard her with your life.
Alex?
- Where'd he go?
- Where do you think?
AWAKE!
Today you awake to a world...
in the grip of
chaos and corruption.
Open the gate of the past and free the
souls of the wrong who he's damned.
I will restore order...
I will retake what is mine.
I will crush any idea of freedom.
In the name of the ancesters
and rightious...
I sacrifice my immortality
and that's of my daughter...
so that you may rise this day.
I will slaughter without mercy.
I will conquer without compassion.
I will now lead you
past the Great Wall.
Once you cross,
you will be indestructible.
Bring down the wrong of
the oppressed on this Emperor...
and all who follow him.
I raised you for one purpose...
to enforce my will
on the entire world!
Long live the Emperor!
I call up on the hundreds,
and the thousands...
that you may rise up
and seize this moment...
to take your victory,
to take your justice...
and to take your revenge!
Zi Juan.
Let's go!
It's General Ming!
Follow General Ming!
Prepare for battle!
These are...
you're the good dead guys, right?
You are the good dead guys.
- Do you think they speak English?
- We're with Zi Yuan.
- Zi Juan?
- Yes.
To battle!
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Archer form up!
They're coming.
Fire!
- Hey, that's my favorite blue shirt.
- That's what I hate about you.
Death to General Ming!
Charge!
Welcome to 20th century.
We can't let them cross the wall!
You are no longer immortal.
Honey! Fall back, to a higher ground.
- I really hate Mummies.
- It seems the feeling is mutual.
Shut up, and get the hell
away from me, boy!
Run!
- Here!
- Got it!
It's time I tell you, I've been
in more scrapes then that...
it's time to hit back.
Die! You Mummy bastards! Die!
There is no cause,
for bad language.
Jonathan, certainly knows,
how to make an entry.
Any regrets, darling?
No, none, not ever.
- You okay?
- Yeah, sure, no problem.
- We had it completely under control.
- There.
This guy ever run out of tricks?
Mother! No!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother! Dear...
Hit this through his heart.
You must live, okay?
And fight on.
- She said, through the heart.
- Through the heart.
Come on.
Get in!
The O'Connell's are going to
stop the Emperor!
- Once we get in, what's the plan?
- "Divide and conquer".
No offense, big man,
you sure about that detail?
Yang, just crossed the road.
Hang on!
Remember our deal, when this is over,
my men get to drink for free.
You can keep the whole
damn bar, for all I care...
I'm getting the hell out of China.
There!...
I dug you up...
and I'm gonna put you down.
Alex?
Alex.
- Let go!
- Never!
Enough tricks! Where is your honor?
Fight like a man.
Devide...
and conquer.
Now you can rule...
in hell!
The Emperor is dead!
The Emperor is dead!
- Evening girls. Looking well.
- Good evening Mr. Maguire.
Have a very nice evening.
You dance great for an old lady.
Someone told me to stop
living on the sidelines.
Well, he you sounds
like the smart guy.
He is.
So, you got Dash and Scarlett,
on there next adventure?
Why wright about it,
when you can live it.
There's something incredibly romantic,
about vanquishing the undead.
Even more romantic,
to be here with you.
- Hush up and kiss me.
- Don't have to ask me twice.
Let me get your bag, Sir.
No, no, no, don't touch it,
don't touch it.
Where're you off to, Mr. O'Connell?
Oh, some place where
they don't have Mummies.
- Step on it, I have a plane to catch.
- Yes, Sir.
Ciao, Ciao Shanghai,
Peru, here I come.
