"Absolutely, Joe!"
"It'd have been better
to keep working together, Joe"

"That was your choice, Khalid"
I won't leave you, Khalid!
Something hurts?

Oh Khalid!
Your father spent
his entire life trying to find this tomb
Your brother died
here today to help us reach it
You must complete what they started
You must complete what they started
Don't let them take
our country's most important treasure
We'll go on
Let's go
Seems I'm going to spoil myself real bad!
Seems I'm going to spoil myself real bad!
You said there were
thirty tons only, didn't you?
Thirty tons! Looks more like
30 thousand tons!
Thirty tons! Looks more like
30 thousand tons!
Where to put all this?
Where to put all this?
We'll take our time
We'll take our time
This is Alexander the Great's tomb!
We've found it, Youssef!
"A single treasure of those
may change your life..."
"and have your name written in history"
"and have your name written in history"
- Only one thing is left now
- What?
- Only one thing is left now
- What?
- Watch out, Youssef
- Joe!
- Watch out, Youssef
- Joe!
Salma!
Nobody moves

Salma
When Magdy moves
go quickly and stand in his place
When Magdy moves
go quickly and stand in his place
Hold still!
Go, Salma
See you later
- Let's...
- Youssef hasn't come back
- Hey
- I won't leave him
Wait
Go back, Salma
Go back, Salma
- Go back
- I won't go
I'd rather we die together
- Go, for my sake
- I told you I won't go
- Go, for my sake
- I told you I won't go
Just perfect! We ened up empty-handed
The thing we made it out, don't be upset
It happens
Once in the past, in Dream Park...
One more word and I swear
I'll bury you next to Alexander!
One more word and I swear
I'll bury you next to Alexander!
- Move it!
- And the treasure?
The government will manage

Let's go
Youssef kept his promise and helped
me discover Alexander the Great's tomb
Youssef kept his promise and helped
me discover Alexander the Great's tomb
A discovery that changes anyone's life
But it was Youssef
that really changed my life
But it was Youssef
that really changed my life
I changed his life, too
Yeah, I'd change the life of any man
I changed his life, too
Yeah, I'd change the life of any man
- Once in the past...
- Cut it out!
Okay
Youssef spent his life looking for
a treasure and did find what he needed

a treasure and did find what he needed
Madgy found what he sought too

The thing is each journey has its end
The end of ours marked
the beginning of a new life
A different life from the past, but will
Youssef manage to lead a normal life?
A different life from the past, but will
Youssef manage to lead a normal life?
Or will he want to look
for a new treasure one day?
Or will he want to look
for a new treasure one day?
A treasure hunt that starts here and will
take us to the other side of the world
