The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box Page #5
I'm not the performer, sir.
It's what I pay you for.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
People might say you are afraid
of la guillotine franaise.
I'm afraid of nothing, sir.
SACHA:
Nothing's happening.This is stupid.
Maybe you have to show them that
your question really matters.
I think the cards feed off emotion.
They have to feel it.
Know that your question really
means something to you.
Why is your brother missing?
I left him.
I was supposed to protect him.
It's all my fault.
I promised my parents
(WIND GUSTS)
It's amazing.
Moving pictures.
Look. The beast.
It's Felix.
FELIX:
Mariah!Where is he?
(OVERLAPPING VOICES)
(CACKLING)
No. No, come back.
Please, come back.
Tell me, Panjandrum,
where is my brother?
(CACKLING)
Tell me, where is he?
No, Mariah!
Impostor!
(CROWD GASPS)
Don't! No, please, you're
suffocating him, stop!
Hello, Otto.
Look who it is. Will Charity.
- (CROWD GASPING)
- WOMAN:
Good heavens!Leave him alone, stop.
Let him breathe!
No!
What did you do?
The cards needed an
emotional response.
Oh.
for helping me find my brother.
Make sure he's dead.
Sir.
Wait.
- Have I said something wrong?
- No.
Sacha.
I'm sorry.
It's not that I...
I know I've burdened
you with my problems.
I know you have your own concerns.
I don't need your pity if that's
what you're trying to say.
Sacha, please.
Let me help you with your father.
You think you know everything,
Mariah Mundi. Well, you don't!
He drinks to numb the pain
of my mother's death.
And looking at me just
reminds him of his loss.
I'm sorry.
We must find your brother.
(BELL TOLLING)
(CHAINS RATTLING)
(CHILD WEEPING)
SACHA:
This placescares me, Mariah.
(THUDDING)
Hello? Anybody there?
SACHA:
There's no one here.Let's just go back.
Felix?
Felix?
- Felix!
- (SHUSHES)
They'll hear us.
It's you.
Oh, it's really you.
It's you, it's really you.
You came.
What happened, Felix?
We're slaves. They're
digging for something.
They drill these holes
and have us crawl inside
looking for a box.
Don't worry. We're going to free you.
All of you.
(BANGING)
I knew you'd find me.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
SACHA:
Come on. Come on!They're too strong.
MARIAH:
Oh, come on.- SACHA:
It won't break.- MARIAH:
Break!And Ma and Papa?
Oh, no. It's too late.
(CHILDREN SCREAMING)
No, help me.
Help me! No!
I'm sorry.
Please, Mariah!
I promise you that I'll find you.
You hear me?
(STRUGGLING)
Help me, please! No!
(CHAINS RATTLING)
(MARIAH GRUNTING)
(FELIX SCREAMING)
MARIAH:
No!FELIX:
Mariah!Mariah!
(MARIAH PANTING)
(RUMBLING)
Hide!
SACHA:
It's not a beast. It'ssome kind of drilling machine.
I'm not leaving Felix alone.
He's somewhere underground. And
the entrance is in the hotel.
Go to the village, get the police
and whomever you can find.
- Good luck.
- You, too.
Father, it's the Prince Regent.
We've found a...
- What have you done, girl?
- She's a thief.
Aren't you, girlie?
Come on, girl! You're in
a lot of trouble now!
(GRUNTING)
Water of the Gods.
That's the symbol for water.
(GRUNTING)
(RUMBLING)
LUGER:
Now, all of you,get back to digging!
(CHILD CRYING)
Find me that box, maybe
you'll find your freedom.
(CHILD COUGHING)
GUARD:
Keep digging,you little worm.
If you'd just stop struggling, you'd
make everything so much easier.
(LUGER LAUGHING)
Well, finally.
Their shoes match those who
ransacked your office, sir.
And the girlie was carrying these.
GIRL:
Stop it.Where is Mariah Mundi?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
So much for loyalty, you little char.
(GROANING)
(GASPING)
- FELIX:
(GRUNTING) No!- (SHUSHES)
MARIAH:
Come on.Mariah, your amulet.
Come on.
MARIAH:
It's getting brighter.FELIX:
What does that mean?LUGER:
It means that I've beendigging in the wrong place.
It appears that when both
halves of the amulet
are close to the location of
the box at the same time,
they glow.
Hence this impromptu reunion.
Or should I say formal introduction?
I finally know the identity of the
intrepid, but extremely irritating
Mariah Mundi.
my nose all the time.
(AMULET HUMMING)
So...
Let's find the box.
(HUMMING INTENSIFIES)
Gentlemen, we have work to do.
Ah!
At last.
All these years, I've been waiting.
Go and get the box, both of you.
Don't worry, we'll take excellent
care of your little girlfriend.
(DOOR CREAKS)
It's so small.
We can't give it to him.
What else can we do?
They have Sacha.
LUGER:
Hurry up, Ihaven't got all day.
(WATER RUSHING)
MARIAH:

(FELIX GRUNTS)
Now, Mr. Cleavy, if you
would, the amulet.
Felix!
Mariah!
Felix!
Mariah, hand me the box
and I will help you.
FELIX:
Mariah!Mariah!
Come out quickly, man,
there isn't much time.
FELIX:
Mariah!Now give me the amulet
to open the door.
Thanks, old boy, much appreciated.
No hard feelings.
No, wait!
Mariah!
Sacha, the amulet! I need the amulet!
Kill them. Kill them all.
- FELIX:
Help me, get me, help me!- Felix!
Help me, Mariah!
Felix, hang on!
FELIX:
Help me!(MARIAH GRUNTING)
Come back! Come back!
CHARITY:
Hello, Otto!Oh, you again.
Back by popular demand.
Why don't you just die?
BLACK:
Stop, nobody move!Put your guns down.
Under the authority of the
Bureau ofAntiquities,
we're here to secure the box.
Oh, you brought some
friends, how nice.
Black.
Charity.
Hand it over, Luger.
It'd be very poor form
Almost as bad as hiding
behind her, hmm?
To be frank, Mr. Charity, I'm a
little tired of all of this.
(GRUNTS)
(BULLETS RICOCHET)
(GUNSHOTS)
BLACK:
Give up, Luger!You're surrounded.
It's filling up with water.
Get me out.
I'll come back.
No, what? Don't leave me!
Mariah!
I need those amulets.
He'll kill you.
No evil shall ever come near
you with gold at your side.
I think I know how to stop him.
How to stop the weapon.
Gold is not what the box creates.
Gold is the only shield
against the power of the box.
Help the children.
(GUNSHOTS)
(HAMMER CLICKING)
There's no place for
you to go, Luger.
Oh, really?
BLACK:
It's over.(AMULET HUMMING)
(WHIRRING)
BLACK:
Last chance, Otto!(C*CKS WEAPON)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Sir, sir!
I have to find Sacha.
(GRUNTS)
Come on.
Where do you think you're going?
Out of the way, miss.
Hush, child, no need to get excited.
Let her go.
Let her go.
Father?
I'm sorry, Sacha.
I'm so sorry.
- It's time to sleep.
- (HISSING)
- (GRUNTING)
- No!
(GRUNTING)
Come on, please!
(RUMBLING)
No harm shall come
with gold on my side.
No harm shall come
with gold on my side.
(SCREAMING)
(MIDAS BOX POWERS DOWN)
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
How are you doing, boy?
(GRUNTS)
(CHOKING)
It's been fun,
but the fun's got to end.
Shame you won't see
your parents again.
They're alive?
