competing with the existing one.

Alright,

so now give me the bad news.

Volcanic and seismic activity,

and a good possibility

that the Earth's iron crust

will crack like an egg,

and if that happens the planet

will be literally torn apart

And the good news?

Mr. Pritchard.

At the current rate, sir, roughly 30 hours.

- Issue an evacuation order.

- Yes, sir.

In 30 hours,

I am authorizing the use of a tactical

nuclear weapon at this site.

I'll vaporize those god forsaken things

back to wherever it is that they came from.

You saw what happened

when your men attempted

to destroy them!

That was four soldiers, Mr. Hadden.

I'm talking about power that

hasn't been unleashed

since Hiroshima.

You are going to be the man

who ended the world.

Or maybe saved it.

You alright?

Mmmhmm.

This way.

Good job.

- You ok?

- Yeah.

John?

Look.

John, you ok?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

This is for you, my brother.

We're ready for the extraction.

Go ahead

Come on!

We've gotta get out of this place!

Yeah, no kidding.

Come on.

I'm glad that's behind us.

We don't need these anymore.

Ok.

Here, let me help you.

Alright, this way.

Let's go, come on.

What happened to the helicopter?

Someone shot it down.

Who?

I don't know.

Probably the same person

who shot at me in the bar.

They stepped it up a notch or two.

Careful.

Agh!

What're you doing? That really hurt!

Mitchell,

what the hell are you doing here?

Oh now come on.

You didn't really think Mr. Hadden

was going to let you traipse

halfway across Europe

with his precious little girl

with nobody to keep an eye on you, did you?

What happened to the helicopter?

Someone took it down with a missile.

Someone who seems to be

intent on killing me.

Do you have any idea who?

Religious fanatics, fringe groups,

- white supremacists, CIA...

- Alright, alright.

You know,

all I know is that before I met you

I had no idea

that anyone would want to kill me.

I'm a likable enough kind of guy.

So you say. Now look,

do you want to stand around here

and talk about

the assassins who are after you,

or do you want to get the hell out of here

before they work out that you

weren't in the chopper

that they shot down?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I want an EMP-shielded

chopper standing by

to pull the rest of us out

of here when the time comes.

Yes, sir.

They'll be here.

I hope you're right.

For everyone's sake.

Because I don't want to go down in history

as the man who authorized

the detonation of a nuclear device

to save the world.

Then don't do it, Colonel.

It's out of my hands.

We should put these lights out

and kill that heater.

It could attract the wrong kind of company,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah, well I'm cold,

and we need light to figure this out.

Well, then you might

as well send up a signal flare

and tell whoever is after us where we are.

Maybe you should put out that

cheap cigar you're smoking.

The smell will attract

the wrong kind of people.

It's a Cohiba.

Oh, well perfect.

In that case we'll only attract

the best kind of terrorists and assassins.

Besides, that's why we have you here.

To protect us.

Yeah, well I can't

protect you from yourselves.

It's not here.

It has to be.

Yeah, well I can't see it and I'm tired.

Maybe we should grab

a couple of hours of sleep.

Start fresh.

The sun will be up soon.

Although, if we don't crack this

it won't matter.

How are we gonna get out of here

without a chopper, Mitchell?

I'm not putting another bird up in the area

until we've secured it.

Now listen, professor.

You need to concentrate

on saving the world.

I need to get some fresh air so

I can think.

Go and give him a hand.

You see it?

See what?

There.

There it is!

I knew I would find it.

Let me show you where it is.

Have you two figured it out?

Yeah, maybe.

I need to report to

Mr. Hadden and the Colonel

if you've cracked this or not.

This is not the map, this is the place.

These, these are the map.

I'm not following you.

They're stars.

This drawing shows

us exactly where to find

the thirteenth skull.

I thought you'd be excited.

Well, the temple in that cave

must be 3000 years old.

I'd say more like five.

Oh, even better.

So all we have to do is figure out

where that constellation appeared

in the night sky 5000 years ago?

Well, that's easy.

You know,

I realize that in order for the two of us

to figure it out it would take months,

maybe longer.

But for one of your dad's super computers

it should be a piece of cake.

Right.

Alright,

enter the declination

and extrapolate.

Oh wait, we've got something.

You two are a piece of work.

Right, you wanted to know

where that constellation appeared

in the night sky 5000 years ago?

Well, actually 5302 months

and 11 days.

There's your answer.

What the hell is that?

It's the Visoko Valley,

it's theoretically a pyramid.

That's where we're going.

It's interesting how

it has remained unexplored

for thousands of years.

People thought it

was a natural formation for a long time.

Oh, my father said

the military put a clock on us.

We have six hours.

I hope Mitchell gets

back before the world ends

and he's out trying to rent a car.

Really?

That's an interesting choice.

That's our man, that's our man!

Oh boy.

You work for the wealthiest

man in the world

and the best car you could rent was this?

Well, excuse me, Mr. Trump,

but they didn't take credit cards

and this was all

I could get with the cash I had.

Well, so where are we going?

Is that it?

What were you expecting,

Mitchell? Giza?

Well, I don't know,

maybe something bigger than that?

It just looks like an odd-shaped hill.

Well, it is a pyramid.

Yeah, well I know that,

Professor Smarty-Pants.

All I'm saying is

it doesn't look like a place

that would hold the key to save the world.

I see.

And what do you suppose

that would look like?

Ok, alright, so what's the plan?

We're gonna keep a low profile,

stay away from

the village until it gets dark,

and then go in nice and quiet.

That plan sounds as strong

as the choice in cars.

Get in the car.

My goodness, could this be smaller?

Where is everyone?

How should I know?

A town meeting, strip club?

Strip club?

These are nice people.

You never know.

Villages all need a good strip club.

A little early, wouldn't you say?

Well, I guess we know where everyone is.

We've got to get out.

- This will pass, give it time.

- Look behind you.

Oh, shoot.

Get out.

Just act normal.

Don't look around.

Don't react.

Don't make it known we're being followed.

But we are being followed,

so how are we supposed to act?

Casual.

How many are there?

There's two behind us

and two in front of us.

Just turn around and mingle.

QKZV -

What are they doing?

I've seen you before.

Yes.

And I have seen you, as well.

Now, I'm afraid this

will be our last meeting.

Is that some kind of euphemism

because you're going to kill us?
