Relic Hunter [chanting.]
With this spell of courage, I give you the strength Of a thousand men.
[screaming.]
[machine gun fire.]
SOLIDER: they're getting away! [machine gun fire.]
Over there.
Who are those guys? All I know Is that they want that And they've got a gun.
SOLIDER: try to pick up their tracks.
SOLIDER 2: I thought they came this way.
SOLIDER: they must have taken the other fork.
Let's retrace their steps.
SOLIDER2: right.
Come on, it's not far to the boat.
[machine gun fire.]
SOLIDER: they're getting away! SYDNEY: Nigel.
I'll take that.
SYDNEY: Nigel, do you have a twin? Let's talk about this first.
Come to some sort of arrangement.
I have one in mind.
I'll take the lancet, You die.
Look there's no need for violence.
We're all reasonable people.
Speak for yourself.
Melanesian cora- bungee trap.
Yeah.
Quite suitable for big game.
[machine gun fire.]
Oh.
Come on.
[machine gun fire.]
NIGEL: morning.
Oh, hey.
How's everything with that cut? What did the doctor say? Oh, they're going to run A few routine blood tests.
But I had a tetanus boost not long ago.
Are you trying to open that? It's totally stuck.
I've called maintenance.
Shall I try? Are you sure? Oh, yeah, I feel fine.
Better than ever, As a matter of fact.
I thought you said it was stuck? It was.
Sydney already left? Yeah.
She wasn't really looking forward To the conference, though.
Sounds pretty dull, if you ask me.
Well, the organizer's a friend Of the university chancellor.
She couldn't really turn him down again.
Oh, Sydney asked me to remind you To finish authenticating the lancet.
Right.
KAREN: hi, can I help you? KATE: yes, I'm Kate.
Nigel.
It's nice to see you again.
What brings you here? Sydney gave me a tip On that relic you recovered Down in new guinea.
KAREN: oh, I'm afraid Sydney's At a conference.
Actually, Nigel is the one That I wanted to see.
Oh, yes.
Of course.
Excuse me, where are my manners? Kate Hemphill, Karen Patresky.
Hi.
NIGEL: Kate's with Interpol.
We've shared some history.
Oh, what kind of history? Shall we talk in Sydney's office? Yes.
You look fantastic.
Thanks.
That's nothing serious, I hope.
No, no.
We followed up Sydney's tip About the man who got skewered Chasing you two.
It turns out that he was high up On Interpol's most wanted list.
NIGEL: well, that's him all right.
KATE: Ian Worthingham.
Arrogant, cold blooded, Baby-faced killer And ruthless thief.
NIGEL: I can attest to that.
He bragged to an informant of ours That the lancet he was after Was his ticket to a very big deal.
And we want to know what it was.
Dead men tell no tales.
This one might.
Take another look.
Who does he resemble? Hugh grant? You.
Especially if you were To wear glasses like his.
Why do I feel this is leading to something? KATE: Worthingham booked a flight And a hotel room in Lisbon.
He was to await further Instructions there.
Impersonate him? Why not? What do you want me to do, Lie on a slab and hold my breath? No, we've covered up the fact that he's dead.
Interpol arrested the two men That were with him in new guinea And spread the word that Ian Worthingham Made it out alive with the lancet.
Kate, this This is not my field.
You need someone You need someone like Sydney.
She can't pass for Worthingham.
Well of course she can't, she's a woman, But someone with her abilities.
KATE: Nigel Nigel, this is just the tip Of a major international iceberg.
There could be dozens, Hundreds of relics Waiting to be recovered If we crack this.
You're both British.
You're both expert in relics.
And you're his dead ringer.
That's a poor choice for words.
This plan could work.
Excuse me.
I do have to warn you, though, Worthingham's plan was to sell The lancet to the gural natez.
Gural natez? Uh huh.
The gural natez don't stop at Anything when it comes to a relic.
Even murder.
Nigel, if it were any other group I would have a lot of back-up standing by.
But the gural natez would Sniff them out in an instant.
It would just be you and me.
You and me alone? Uh huh.
And for now, secrecy is Our one big advantage.
NIGEL: Karen, something's come up.
Kate and I are going to Lisbon.
Lisbon? Yeah.
If anyone calls Looking for me, tell them I'm here, But I'm too busy to come to the phone And I'll check in with you when we get there.
What about Syd? Well, there's no need to worry her.
All right.
Tell me? Sorry.
Have you seen the cylindrical Carry case for this? Yeah, it fell behind the bookcase.
I've been meaning to get maintenance To come and get it out.
NIGEL: not to worry.
Here it is.
What? What are you doing with the lancet? Need-to-know, I'm afraid.
Besides, it'll be back Before anyone misses it.
Bye.
KATE: bye.
KAREN: ancient studies.
Just thought I'd check in Before you left for the night.
How's Nigel? He's He's fine.
Can you ask Nigel If he's finished authenticating That lancet yet? Actually, he's on his way To Lisbon with it.
Lisbon? Didn't say why, Just that it was need-to-know.
Need-to-know? Nigel? Some chick from Interpol Came by Kate Hemphill? Nigel got all excited About helping her.
With what? Didn't say.
They just rushed out To catch the next plane.
DOCTOR: ah, doctor Fox? Doctor Fox? Hurry, they're about To present the awards.
Come, come.
SYDNEY: look, I really have to go.
But can you have him call me And fill me in? Come, come.
Welcome to Lisbon, Mr Worthingham.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You will be doing some fishing While in Portugal? Yes.
No.
None of your business.
Room 502.
Armando will show you to your room.
I'll take care of this one myself.
Thank you.
Slow elevator.
Yes.
Don't touch that.
Case, Worthingham.
Give me the lancet Or I will kill you.
Are you okay? Jet lag.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me, Mr Worthingham would Like to see you in room 502.
Mr Worthingham? Yes.
You are the only pretty brunette In the lobby, are you not? Right.
Thank you.
This way.
[knocking at the door.]
You blew my cover.
I gave the desk clerk your description, Not your name.
I could hardly drag him through The lobby with me, could I? He came for the lancet.
You disarmed him in the elevator? Something's happened to me Since we came back from new guinea.
What? Look, legend surrounds the lancet Says that anyone cut by it Gains incredible strength.
Nigel.
I can't think of any other Explanation, can you? Well, what about our mission? I'd say it increases The probability of success, Wouldn't you sweetheart? KATE: you get anything out of him? He's all clammed up.
How did you know about the lancet? I guess you want to go to jail For a long time, tough guy.
Interpol.
I can make it happen.
This can go easy Or hard.
Personally, I prefer the latter.
THUG: I have nothing to say to you.
Really? You stay away from me.
Maybe it's time we used The kali pressure points.
No.
No, no more.
He's an animal.
NIGEL: all I have to do Is press lightly Above the shoulder blades.
There's one around here somewhere.
[screaming.]
Now, if I press two shoulder blades.
Okay, okay! THUG: look, I got a tip That Worthingham was coming.
I knew the lancet was worth a lot.
I thought I would try to steal it And find a buyer myself.
Thank you.
Now we're getting somewhere.
You've stolen the lancet, then what? I was going to do The same thing as you were.
Which is? You don't know? No, I know, I just want to know what you know.
Look, and don't lie, Otherwise I'll start searching For more pressure points.
I was going to go to The sunken anchor tonight at ten.
What's the sunken anchor? Look, these are rough people.
It can be our little secret.
If you don't cooperate, Count on disappearing forever.
It's a bar down on the waterfront.
I was told to ask For a deep slow kiss.
That's a drink.
It's also the signal That you're the guy with the lancet.
I don't know any more than that.
I swear! Now what? I call local Interpol To send in a disposal team To pick him up.
Nice work.
DOCTOR: there you are, dr Fox.
Where are you going? Actually, I was thinking about Catching the first plane out of here.
Oh, oh.
That's very funny.
You really got me there.
You must meet dr.
Fitzroy.
He's doing some amazing research On the history of sanitation In central Europe.
Well, that's not exactly my Oh, come, come.
We must all broaden our horizons? And then? NIGEL: fifth and sixth form At Hambleton academy.
KATE: years? '86 to '87, Then naughty little Ian Got expelled for drinking in the dorm.
'94.
NIGEL: '94, I '94, I graduated and Remind me.
Are you sure you want To go through with this? Absolutely.
I don't know, Maybe I should just call in A support team And stake out the bar.
No, no.
Look, you said yourself If the gural natez Gets a sniff of Interpol, Then we lose every chance We ever had of catching them.
I did, didn't I? Yes, you did.
What's wrong? You've changed.
Well, I I feel different.
No, I No, no, I don't mean just from this.
There's something more.
There's this This inner strength That I've never noticed before.
Maybe that comes from being alone In a hotel room with The most beautiful woman in the world.
That's something that The old Nigel would never have said.
No.
Thought.
Well, whatever caused the change, I'm glad.
Me too.
I always got the feeling You didn't really like the old me.
No, it's not that I didn't like you.
I guess in terms of attraction, I have to feel that a man is My equal both mentally as well as Physically.
And now? Now Now, it's It's It's nine-thirty.
KATE: do you have a cigarette? NIGEL: Kate? KATE: you're right, It's probably a bit cliche.
Okay.
How do I look? Well, if you're trying To distract me, then perfect.
Nigel.
Worthingham is probably known To half the scum in there.
So if anything goes wrong, If anyone recognizes you, Let me handle it.
Is this free? Yes, it's free.
And I want for it To stay that way.
Unfortunately, It's the only free chair in the bar.
I'd like a deep slow kiss please.
Unless you want to use that To clean your nails, It might not be a bad idea I'd you put it away.
Rico Mateus.
NIGEL: Ian Worthingham.
The limey that pulled off The caper in Sumatra? Yes.
Hey, it's Ian Worthingham, Sumatra.
No, it's not.
He's Nigel Bailey.
Nigel Bailey.
I am sick of being mistaken For Nigel Bailey.
There is no mistake about it.
You are him.
Nigel Bailey is nothing but a Namby pamby do-gooder.
You are not fooling me.
He's Nigel Bailey.
Him and Sydney Fox Have gotten dozens of us arrested.
Huh? I hear Nigel's a bit of a wimp.
That is right.
You are.
NIGEL: oh, I'm a wimp? THUG: that is right, Bailey.
You are.
Thanks.
Still think I'm Nigel Bailey? Well You look like Nigel Bailey.
Could Nigel Bailey do this? Or that? Could Nigel Bailey do that? No, he couldn't.
Thank you.
I'll pay for the damage.

One more thing.
[.]
ISA: would you like me to light one for you? You'll need it.
Don't I know you? Ennio awaits.
Well we better not keep him waiting.
I'm glad you have made it.
Yes, me too.
You have the lancet? Right here.
I have convinced them.
Good.
If the relic is genuine, You will be taken into The inner circle tonight.
Then let's get on with it.
For so long we have dreamed of this day, Did we not, my old friend? Yes, old friend.
You sound different, Ian.
Pardon? Your voice.
Cold.
Bad cold.
Ahem.
Sore throat.
I see.
ENNIO: tell me, Ian, How is your mother? Still dead.
Car crash, 1996.
Yes, of course, I forgot.
One more question, If you don't mind.
Get on with it.
You're wasting time.
You sound anxious.
Not yourself.
And you sound like You're beating about the bush.
You lie about who you are.
But the question remains, Who are you And where is my friend, Ian? What does it really matter Who I am? I have what you want.
You have the lancet? Right here.
Show me.
We can still make a deal, right? Do you know who we are? Listen, if the gural natez Are not interested, I can always find another buyer.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Uh oh.
[.]
[.]
ENNIO: did you find his glasses? ISA: no one will know we have him Or where he went.
You're getting paranoid, Ennio.
[.]
He looks meek now, But you should have seen him in Lisbon.
He was a superman.
Show me how it works.
The lancet, Show me how it works.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Your feats of great strength Back at the sunken anchor.
New diet, Workout schedule It can do wonders.
If you untie me, I'll share my secrets with you.
What's this? A prick of its tip empowered you.
Is that not the legend? What are you doing? SYDNEY: hello, Karen? KAREN: Sydney.
Have you heard from Kate? Yeah, she's been trying To get a hold of you.
Can you patch me through? I'll try.
The connection's pretty awful.
Sounds like she's at the bottom of a well.
KATE: hello? Kate.
Your office has been Trying to reach you for me.
I'm in Valetta.
Where's Nigel? The gural natez have him.
The gural natez? KATE: at st.
Viviana's church.
Kate.
I've called for back-up, But it's going to take them a while to get here.
I'm on my way.
So who are you? What does it really matter? I mean, I'll concede I'm not your old chum Ian Worthingham, but ENNIO: I asked you a question.
A man in Lisbon said he looked like Someone called Nigel Bailey.
Nigel Bailey.
ISA: he said that Bailey worked For Sydney Fox.
You work for the relic hunter, Sydney Fox? The same Sydney Fox who has A gural natez bounty on her head? What are you talking about? One of our inner circle Has put a price on the head of Sydney Fox.
Where is she? I don't know.
I mean, she isn't involved in this.
She doesn't even know that I'm here.
I find that hard to believe.
You two are partners, are you not? No.
ENNIO: yes.
She is sure to come looking for you.
Where's your back-up? Not here yet.
Sydney, I'm sorry.
Sydney Fox is a thorn in The side of the gural natez.
We'd love to remove that thorn.
Spread the word, we have a guest.
GUARD: can I help you? Oh, hi.
Oh, I'm with the With the tour group.
And I, well, I wandered off.
Now I found this trap door an I And I came Came down and, Well, here I am.
Sydney.
ENNIO: Sydney Fox.
I knew she'd come for you.
Careful, Sydney, He's already cut himself with the lancet.
You get Nigel, I'll take care of him.
Are you all right? Hurry.
I will kill you for The glory of the gural natez.
Thanks, Nigel.
Are you all right? Yeah.
You? Never better.
[yelling.]
Well, it sounds like we're drawing a crowd.
So unless you want to get a few more rounds in.
GUARD: up there.
I've had enough for two lifetimes.
GUARD: quick, they're getting away! Thanks.
Bye bye.
Interpol says they've picked up Ennio and his girlfriend And quite a few gural natez operatives At the airport trying to get out.
I won't be happy until every one Of those cutthroats is behind bars.
Well, it's a good start.
You should have seen him, Karen.
NIGEL: yes.
While it lasted, I was magnificent.
So I've been hearing.
It's very unmodest of me, I know, but true.
I could tell Kate was impressed.
And it had nothing to do With your lancet.
Well, of course not.
Judging a person purely on His or her physical abilities Would be shallow.
Far beneath a woman like Kate.
Far beneath.
NIGEL: however, there is something to be said For a certain amount of Just perhaps, one little nick Wouldn't be too bad? Close the box.
Just one little itty, bitty SYDNEY: Nigel.
Hello? Kate, you're early.
Yeah.
Well, alright then.
