The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines Page #4

Look at that. You know what that is?

That's the Enkerendi.

That's their mating dance.

It's called Oloipiri, and

it's their hunting dance.

Enkerendi. Oloipiri.

Why do you keep doing that,

correcting me like that?

You know, I'm not as

dumb as you think I am.

I don't think you're dumb.

Just not as smart as I am.

Well, I'll have you know I hold

12 bachelor's degrees, six master's

and four PhDs, which is 22

total, which is almost a record.

How many degrees do you have?

Twenty-five, and I'll be starting

my twenty-sixth next June.

But who's counting? Excuse me.

What, are we walking too fast now?

Whoa.

Are you all right?

I've been better.

Who did this to you?

I was caught stealing

crops on Bantu land.

What, they just left

you out here to die?

I am Nulu. I would have done the same.

Grab his hand. Here we go.

Pull.

I am Jomo.

You have saved my life.

Oh, hey, I don't know about all that.

I'm indebted to you. You'll

come with me to my village.

There, you will be showered with food

and women and treated like a king.

Well, I saved you, too.

Can't you see the man is talking?

I'm sorry. You were saying

something about a king?

And how many women are we talking about?

It's really very sweet of

you, but we should be going

because we're on our way to Gedi.

Gedi? Well, I know the

place. I will take you there.

Where you go, Jomo will go.

Oh, that's really not necessary.

I will not rest until I

have paid my debt to you.

Jomo will get these for you.

"How many women?"

You heard the man. It's his custom.

Want a chocolate bar? Not for me.

Oh, look, a hoopoe bird.

Two thousand years ago, King

Solomon used to send birds

to fly messages across

to the Queen of Sheba.

And now, here it is, all those

years later, flying over our heads.

You've always been interested

in the Queen of Sheba?

Ever since I was a little girl.

I used to stay awake all night long,

reading the same old stories about her.

So much power, mystery.

She could have been

the queen of all Africa.

Sounds good to me.

Well, the trick is proving it.

And I haven't had much luck with that.

Well, just 'cause you haven't found any

evidence yet doesn't mean that you won't.

One has to have a little faith.

What's going on?

Hippos, the deadliest animal in Africa.

They're highly territorial.

They'll tear us to shreds.

Hippos have incredible

auditory faculties.

If we remain quiet and try not to

breathe, they might leave us alone.

Whoa.

All right, actually, I'm

going to disagree with you.

Maybe, if we sound a threatening call,

we might be able to drive them off.

Shut up, you idiot. We have to be quiet.

No, we have to try and scare them off.

We have to make noise. Be quiet!

Stop, you moron. They're attacking us.

It's a defensive action.

We're making progress.

Hippos like chocolate.

Thank you.

Get out of the way.

Hey, Jomo.

You think maybe we could

take a little break?

Just for an hour? Three, tops.

We rest here for five

minutes, we eat and then we go.

Yes. Anything.

Come. Eat.

Oh. Wow.

Do you have any of

those little chocolates?

Yeah. I'm way ahead of you.

My drawings.

I don't believe it.

My mom.

She must have snuck them in

my bag when I wasn't looking.

You still live with your mother.

What? Who, me? No.

No, no. Not anymore.

I mean, I moved out.

No, I got my own apartment now.

Yeah, I know. It's a

little embarrassing.

Don't worry. I slept at

home all through grad school.

May I?

Yeah.

Well, you're no

Picasso, that's for sure.

Give me a break. I was 8 years old.

Still.

Okay.

Time to go.

So what are those drawings of, anyway?

Bedtime stories.

My dad used to tell me

these silly bedtime stories,

and I would draw them for him.

I bet he appreciated that.

I guess. I never really knew my dad.

He died when I was young.

He got mugged coming home from work,

and the coward shot him.

Never even caught who did it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Flynn.

Unfortunately, those silly bedtime

stories are all I have left.

My father never read me bedtime stories.

He was always too busy working

or fighting with my mother.

I never talked to him growing up.

And he's still alive, and

I still don't talk to him.

Seems to me, you had a good father.

You see? Gedi Province.

Now what?

Now we have to look for something

called the Breasts of Sheba

or the All-seeing Eye.

Whatever that means.

I think I found the Breasts of Sheba.

See the two mountains there?

See how they kind of resemble the...

Well, the...

I get it, Flynn.

They told me there's a mystic

shop in the next village

run by a fortune teller.

There we will find the All-seeing Eye.

Thank you for everything.

You were a huge help.

It is over?

Yeah, we're just gonna go into

town and grab that map legend piece,

head on home, so, I think

we can take it from here.

I have not yet repaid my debt to you.

Sure you have. You brought us here.

You saved us from the hippos and

didn't make us eat the termites.

I think we're even.

Go well.

We will.

The All-seeing Eye.

The All-seeing Eye.

May I help you?

Are you the owner of this shop?

Yes. Come in, please.

It's okay. Go ahead.

The store belonged to my father.

It was his pride and joy.

Where is your father now?

He died.

Not too long ago.

It was my father's dying wish

that I continue his legacy.

So, I inherited the store from him.

Well, they say the

secrets shall be passed.

Indeed, they shall.

Among other things.

I received this from a

Cryptic Mason in Morocco.

He told me I could find

the other half to it here.

Finally, the key to King Solomon Mines.

The other half?

Yes. It's here.

Unfortunately, my

father, God rest his soul,

he passed away before he could

reveal its hidden location.

But, perhaps, you could

help me search for it?

Thank you.

Hmm?

What do we have in here?

What the... It's my drawing.

You found something?

Well, there's something

hidden inside this wall.

What the...

It's the other half of the map legend.

What are you doing?

He's one of them. A bad guy.

Run, run, run. Go, go, go, go.

No. We'll have to jump.

Are you nuts? No, no,

no, that store awning

should slow our freefall

velocity by at least 47%.

34. 47%.

34. Would you stop arguing with me?

They have the legend. Go! Get them!

They have the map!

Flynn.

Uncle Jerry? What are you doing here?

I'm on my way to Mombasa

to pick up some exports.

What are you doing here?

Uh, we're in a little bit of trouble.

We gotta get out of

here. Can you help us?

I've got some cabins

on the train, get on.

Go. Find them! Now!

They're on the train!

Those look like General Samir's men.

You're lucky you ran

into me when you did.

General Samir?

He the head of a militia around

these parts. Very dangerous.

Look, Flynn, these are

very unstable lands.

It's no time to be caught

in the middle of a war.

Too late.

Come in.

Hey, you about

ready for--for...

That's a native Masai dress, I believe.

Yes, it is.

Your uncle Jerry gave it to me.
