National Treasure: Book of Secrets Page #9

get back to the big, round stone door.

Where's your mother going?

Sweetheart. Sweetheart.

Have a look at this.

- What?

- Look.

This is gonna unlock

the Olmec language.

It's gonna give us incredible

insight into pre-Columbian history.

Oh!

Em?

- You happy?

- Oh, yeah.

- Ben! Look at this! Look!

- Oh, yeah.

That's where they slit the throat,

cut the heart out.

- What was that?

- Listen.

Ah!

I tried to find a way out.

All those portals are blocked off!

I'm telling you, all this water

goes out somewhere. We'll find it.

Ben, there's a current!

Follow it!

There's got to be a central drain!

It's under us. Right here!

Come on!

Let's go! Get in there!

The water's rising too fast!

Let's get that door open

so we don't all drown!

Ben, it slopes down!

It's a drainage tunnel.

It fills with water

when you open the door!

We need to find something

to stick under it to keep it open!

No, if it's open,

this tunnel will stay flooded.

We've got to get to the other side

and close the door.

Patrick, Emily, go!

- No.

- No!

No!

Mitch, we got to be

on the other side of that door!

Nobody leaves unless I say so.

That door is not gonna stay open

by itself.

We both know what has to happen here.

One of us keeps the door open

and stays behind.

I vote Mitch.

This isn't a democracy.

Stop! I'll stay!

I'm staying. Look. Look!

See? I'm right here! I'm staying!

I'll tell everybody

how this is going to go.

You and me are going to open that door.

Anybody tries to leave before me,

I drop the door,

we start this all over again!

Try any funny business, I guarantee you

people are going to get hurt!

I won't! You have my word.

Just let her go.

Ben, no, we're not leaving without you.

Abigail.

You make my parents leave.

You make my parents leave.

- No!

- Let's go!

Let's go, please! Patrick, Emily,

he's trying to save our lives.

Please, come on.

Push, Ben!

The current's too strong!

- I'm ready!

- It's all yours!

Ah!

Mom!

Hang on!

Hold your breath!

Ah!

We got to get Ben out of there!

If I'm stuck in the door,

it stays open,

both rooms fill up, and we all drown!

- Open the door! I'll get you out!

- The current's too strong!

I open the door,

you'll be washed down!

I'll get you out!

I found the City of Gold! I found it!

And no one will ever know?

We can figure this out!

We can all get out!

It's not a puzzle!

No more puzzles, Ben!

We're all going to die,

or it could just be me!

- Tell them I found it!

- Don't quit!

Mitch!

Ah!

Thank you.

- We haven't officially met. I'm Riley.

- Oh, hi.

Sir! It's for you.

Sadusky.

- I have my proof.

- Ben!

We were just talking about you.

Ready to turn yourself in?

Not quite.

We found the City of Gold.

Doesn't matter.

You still committed a federal crime.

Stop. Stop it.

- Mr. President?

- Craig, give us a minute.

Sir, for your information,

this is the man who kidnapped you.

As I recall, we were

exploring a hidden tunnel,

and a door closed accidentally,

and this man saved my life.

Yes, sir.

- Gates.

- Sir.

For the record, after centuries

of exploration, on this day,

you have brought honor

to your country and your family.

You've done this country

a great service. I thank you.

- Thank you.

- Craig.

I thought you might want to

take a look at tomorrow's headlines.

Tomorrow?

Thank you, sir.

All of you, along with

Emily and Patrick Gates

will get credit for this discovery.

And Mitch Wilkinson, sir.

- Is that right?

- It's true, sir.

Ben, I am curious

about that favor I asked you.

Any report regarding

what's on page 47?

I believe I can help with that, sir.

- So it's good.

- Life-altering, sir.

What's on page 47?

Are you talking about the Book?

What book?

Be very careful with that.

Is that distilled water you're using?

- Yes.

- Have you catalogued all of this?

- No, ma'am.

- You haven't?

Excuse me? Excuse me, sir?

Are you cataloguing this?

You should've been there

when we picked out our first couch.

Excuse me.

Hey, you're that guy...

The treasure hunter guy, right?

No, actually, the guy you're thinking of

is somewhere over there.

No. You're him. Riley Poole.

I recognize you from your book.

Will you sign it?

OK.

Thank you.

So, um, the tea tables...

Yes, I'm going to have the movers

bring them to you next week.

I was going to say

you can keep them.

And maybe you could...

...come and move back in with me.

- No. You used the word "so."

- So?

So, when you say "so,"

it means you're angry.

Sometimes.

And then sometimes it doesn't.

It's sort of like a puzzle.

And you're so good at puzzles.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

So...

I love this car.
