Oh, that sounded like nasty.

Oh, maybe-- maybe you should

learn how to do Manny's voice.

Oh, yeah.

I can try if you'll let me.

That'll probably

turn Danielle on, man.

Oh, f*** you.

F*** you.

Yeah.

This is not happening.

OK, guys, observe

radio silence.

So how long have you been working

with these guys for?

Long enough.

That guy with

the Eli girlfriend

has quite an attitude on him.

Don't worry about him.

He's the best.

No, put that sh*t

out immediately.

Come on.

I'm serious.

I'm serious.

Ah, what's Eli doing?

Come on, what the f***?

This is going to be a

shitty vacation if you're

going to be so boring.

This isn't a shitty vacation

because it's not a vacation.

We're not in Progreso anymore.

Come on, give me that sh*t.

Come on.

Come on, Eli, put that sh*t out.

Sh*t!

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Let me have the radio.

Hey, hey, hey.

Wait, Raul.

Wait!

- Wait!

- What's going on?

Keep it cool, baby.

- What's happening?

- It's an ambush.

Don't do it!

Doctor, would you please

tell your bodyguard

that everything's OK here?

Miller, it's cool.

Can you lower your

weapon, please?

Look at this, baby!

Serious smoke salad.

...you're my hero.

You did not blink, girl.

Yeah, I think I would

have sh*t my pants.

Right?

Friendly faces.

Thanks for trying to help, Raul.

he stayed there to finish--

you know, when he

finished his job.

When my dad died,

No problem.

Great insurance

policy, by the way.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

I'll give it an hour and

I'll send everyone to sleep.

Oh, no, no, no.

That's what I call

bonding moments.

We all need them

every once in a while.

Probably.

But I take my job

very seriously.

Me too.

But we don't know when

we're going to smile

again for the last time.

I guess not.

So, do you have more

information for me and my team?

Information?

I told you, we're looking

for an archaeological site.

I get it.

But what type of a site?

I mean, what are

you looking for?

What are you expecting to find?

I have the same questions,

and soon they'll be answered.

According to the GPS,

we're about four hours away

from the site, so soon

we'll know whether we're

meant to change the world

or go back with our tails

between our legs.

The only difference is that

no matter what, all of you

are going back with

$100,000 in your pockets.

Come on, let's have some fun.

I'm going to pass.

I need to rest.

Come on, we all deserve a

little fun once in awhile,

don't we?

Come on.

Right.

Oh, I'm going to get jealous.

Come on, Mark.

According to the GPS,

we're almost there.

It's over here.

There you go.

Look at this.

This is it.

This is the place.

Prepare your team.

Guys, go back to

the boat and bring

all the equipment and gear.

We're going in.

OK.

Let's go, guys.

Let's do this thing.

I can see natural

light filtering ahead.

It's a short cavern.

And this is the place

we were looking for?

Well, we don't know

what is on the other side.

Guys, let's help Dr.

Green and the guys

cross along with all the gear.

We'll escort them all the way.

Well?

I think we got it.

We found your place.

Excellent.

When can I go in?

As soon as my team comes

back, we'll arrange it

and we'll get you in.

All right.

Great work, Miss Noble.

Thank you.

Are you ready, Doctor?

Stay right behind me.

Got it.

It's just a short cavern.

I don't care.

We're still following the rules.

Safety is everything.

Roger that.

I would love to stay

right behind you, baby.

Very funny, Manny.

This is beautiful.

I always wanted to

be an astronaut,

but perhaps this is the

closest I'm going to get.

Instead of outer space, it's

that word you use, inner space.

It's very true.

[birds chirping]

We're going to set up camp here.

I told you.

Miller?

Sir?

I need the scanner

and my bag, please.

Danielle.

Yes?

Just you and your cameraman.

Nobody else.

Be there in a second.

Tom, is this it?

We'll see.

What makes this place so special?

What makes this place so special

is that it's obviously

hiding something.

All over.

Hold the scanner, please.

Sure.

Is that a tomb?

This can't be.

There has to be an entrance.

Talk to your team.

We need to search the area

and look for an entrance.

On it.

Mark, are you staying?

Yeah, let me

just get a clean shot.

Crazy stuff, Doc.

There's no access.

The base is solid rock.

This is just a f***ing

insignificant pyramid, man.

There aren't any insignificant

pyramids, you idiot.

Take it easy.

What the f***?

You have to find another entrance.

That's what I'm paying

you guys for, remember?

And speaking of payment, Doc,

FYI, there are no refunds.

Babe, I'm starving.

Oh yeah, munchies.

No, I'm famished.

I'll get you an iguana.

A what?

An iguana.

OK, guys, let's wrap it up.

It's raining.

No.

I'm not ready yet.

We'll get back to it tomorrow.

Let's go.

Let's move.

Let's go!

Come on, baby.

Let's get that tongue out of the water.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

What is it?

What is it?

I want to leave now.

What happened?

Babe, I think

there's something

wrong with this place?

OK, OK, OK.

I was just checking

out the place.

Did you touch anything?

The green stone.

But I barely touched

it, and all of a sudden

it just came to life.

What do you mean all of a

sudden it just came to life?

Manny, I really

want to go home.

Calm down, baby.

It's not that easy, OK?

Listen, uh--

Eli.

Eli, sorry.

Eli.

Many things in the Mayan

world work in mysterious ways.

They were known for unique

mechanisms and secret systems

to make things work.

What happened was a good thing.

It means that we're

on the right track.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

I've seen things like

this many times before.

Well, how about

from now on we try

to stay away from the things

we have no control of.

No, no, no, no, no.

What happened was a great thing.

The greatest discoveries

happen by mistake.

OK, everybody,

just relax then.

You see, everybody has

a purpose here, babe.

Why don't we call it Eli's Gate?

Eli's Gate it is.

There you go.

OK?

- OK.

Cool.

Everything's fine.

What was all that about?

Nothing, just

superstitious crap.

Really?

You better cut the

bullshit, Doctor.

You keep avoiding my

questions, and I'm sick of it.

So you either tell

me what is going on

or I'm packing up our sh*t

and we're getting the hell out

of here.

I don't think

anyone on your team

is ready to let go of $100,000.

I don't know if

you've noticed,

but maybe my team is motivated

by the money, but I'm not.

Danielle, this is the

opportunity of a lifetime.

Don't ruin it.

Embrace it.

This whole place is already

an amazing discovery

and the best is yet to come.

That guy is just a

superstitious idiot.

You promised me a professional

team and I expect no less.

So can you please get

the guys to come and help

me with the work, please?

Please?

Thank you.

Listen, I understand

your sorrow,

but we can't stop right now.
