National Treasure Page #9

of world history down there.

And it belongs to the world,

and everybody in it.

You really don't understand

the concept of a bargaining chip.

OK, here's what I want.

Dr. Chase gets off completely clean,

not even a little Post-it

on her service record.

OK.

I want the credit for the find

to go to the entire Gates family,

with the assistance of Mr. Riley Poole.

And what about you?

I'd really love not to go to prison.

I can't even begin to describe

how much I would love not to go to prison.

Someone's got to go to prison, Ben.

Well, if you've got a helicopter,

I think I can help with that.

- (man) Freeze! FBI!

- (sirens)

- Freeze! Don't move!

- Show me your hands!

- Put your hands up.

- Move, move, move.

You're under arrest, Mr. Howe.

We've got you on kidnapping,

attempted murder...

and trespassing on government property.

Yeah. You got it, chief.

Thank you. Bye.

They want us in Cairo next week

for the opening of the exhibit.

They're sending a private jet.

That's fun.

Yeah, big whoop. We could have had

a whole fleet of private jets.

Ten percent, Ben. They offered you

ten percent and you turned it down.

Riley, we've been over this.

It was too much. I couldn't accept it.

I still have this splinter that's been festering

for three months from an old piece of wood.

OK, I'll tell you what.

Next time we find a treasure

that redefines history for all mankind,

you make the call on the finder's fee.

That's not as funny.

What do you care?

You got the girl.

- It's true.

- It's true.

Rub it in.

Enjoy your spoils...

while I sit on one percent.

One stinkin' percent.

Half of one percent, actually.

One percent. Unbelievable.

I'm sorry for your suffering, Riley.

For the record, Ben,

I like the house.

You know, I chose this estate

because in 1812 Charles Carroll met...

Yeah, someone that did something

in history and had fun. Great. Wonderful.

Could have had a bigger house.

(crunches gears)

- I made something for you.

- You did? What?

- A map.

- A map?

Where does it lead to?

You'll figure it out.

(she laughs)
