The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines Page #5

Do you like it?

Yeah, it's not bad.

Shall we, before it gets cold?

Yep, so, we had this book

signing packed with people,

and Flynn, this little

9-year-old in short pants,

walks up to the author and

starts arguing with him,

telling him his book is all wrong.

The man's thesis was unsound,

I was just pointing it out.

It was Stephen Hawking. A 9-year-old

does not argue with Stephen Hawking.

The man's a genius. Well, now...

One moment, sir.

Not for me. This has

gone straight to my head.

And I shall be retiring to my cabin.

Thank you for my dress.

Oops!

Careful.

So, what are you gonna do next?

You going after this

King Solomon's treasure,

whatever you said it was?

I don't know yet.

I think you should

come to Mombasa with me.

Your mother would have a heart attack

if she knew what you were up to.

Flynn, are you all right? Sir, your tej.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, I was just thinking about Dad.

You guys knew each other

pretty well, didn't you?

Well, he was my best

friend. I'd like to think so.

Is it possible that he

could've had a secret life?

Secret? You mean like you?

Well, we all have our secrets, Flynn.

I guess your dad was no different.

Take this amulet.

He was wearing this

when I first met him.

And I don't think I

ever saw him take it off.

He told Mom he got that

at a secondhand shop.

Your dad did tell me that he

was given this by his father,

who got it from his father

before him and on down the line.

This amulet is part of your legacy.

Passed on from generation to generation.

The secret shall be passed.

Flynn, what are you mixed up in?

Thank you for everything, Uncle Jerry.

Oh. Hey.

I was, uh, just going over

the map and legend pieces.

Trying to figure them out.

Any luck?

Well, I connected the two

pieces of the map legend.

And I deciphered the markings.

They reference the Old

Testament. Specifically the...

Song of Solomon.

How do you know?

I cracked the Akon cipher last night.

You did?

It wasn't that hard, actually.

It just the Egyptian lined equation,

with a multi-varied calculus thrown in.

Don't know what I was thinking.

Why didn't you tell

me you figured it out?

If you know the cipher, then

you don't need me anymore.

Well, I guess I just

liked having you around.

So, the Song of Solomon.

What does a series of love poems

from the Bible have to do with this map?

May I?

Maybe this holds the answer.

Maybe we're supposed to use

this somehow to read the map.

It has a purpose. I

don't know what it is.

You can let go now.

Okay.

The Song of Solomon

mentions kissing, doesn't it?

I think so.

"Let him kiss me with his mouth

"for thy kisses are sweeter than gold."

Wine.

What?

"Thy kisses are sweeter

than wine." You said gold.

That's because I'm

pretty sure it is gold.

And I'm pretty sure

it's wine. No, it's gold.

Wine. It's gold.

Wine!

And to think that I came that

close to falling for somebody

who can't stop correcting

me every second of the day.

I only correct you

every second of the day

because you're wrong

every second of the day!

I was reciting poetry! I

was trying to be romantic.

Romance isn't about being shot at,

being bloody dragged across Africa.

It's about music

and chocolates and flowers and...

Say that again.

It's about music and chocolates and...

Music. That's it!

I can't believe I

didn't see that before.

It's so easy, it's so obvious.

Don't you get it?

The Song of Solomon is

literally the song of Solomon.

This isn't a map.

This is sheet music.

That legend...

...is an instrument

used to play the notes.

Thank God for clarinet lessons.

Nope. Sorry. One more time.

Did you see that? Uh-huh.

Three Witches Mountain.

The mines are inside that mountain.

You do have your moments, Flynn Carson.

Uh, Flynn, are you

there? Come in, Flynn.

Okay, this is too much.

Is there something I can help you with?

Did you retrieve the map legend?

Yes. And the map also.

The location of King

Solomon's Mines is safe?

All right. Grab the first plane

out and return to the library.

I'm not coming home right away,

Judson. I'm going to the Mines.

It's dangerous, Flynn.

I mean, if the Key of Solomon

should fall into the wrong hands...

It won't, okay?

Listen, why don't you

just trust me one time?

I don't have any choice. I have to go.

Just remember that sometimes

you have to give up what you want

for the greater good.

Okay, I gotta go. Take care.

I just wish you'd reconsider

and come back to Mombasa with me.

Leave this treasure hunting

to the professionals.

I'll be fine, Uncle Jerry.

Morning. Hello.

What do you have there?

Oh, just some stuff

that I picked up in town.

Mmm-hmm.

And I thought that you didn't

believe in King Solomon's Mines.

I don't. It's just standard

hiking gear in case we need it.

Uh-huh.

I guess you better be going.

Hey, thank you for everything.

You be careful, kiddo.

You too, gorgeous. Goodbye.

Now I know why this

place seems so familiar.

I've been here before.

You have?

Yeah.

My father's bedtime stories.

This is the place he was talking about.

The laughing rocks.

He was here.

And he knew that one

day I would be here, too.

He was preparing me for it.

Well, I guess these

aren't useless after all.

Timber, wood, tree. The baobab tree.

The oldest tree in Africa.

Over 3,000 years old.

That would put it around

the time of Solomon.

That's hollow.

We must, uh, we must be

underneath the mountain now.

Watch your step going through here.

This ground is very, very...

Flynn?

Flynn, you all right?

Slippery.

I was going to say the

ground is very slippery.

Where are we?

Turn off the flashlight.

Desmodus rotundus. Vampire bats.

Filthy, disgusting vampire bats.

Yeah, they're sensitive to light.

We don't want to disturb them.

Hello. What is this?

I think I'm gonna hurl.

Oh, please. Come on.

We have to cross that?

If I remember the map correctly,

that should be the entrance

to King Solomon's treasure chamber.

So, yes.

Piece of cake.

Okay. Okay.

This is it?

Where's the book?

Where's the treasure?

What kind of treasure chamber

doesn't have any treasure?

Wasting so much time

chasing myths and legends.

I actually believed that

I might find something.

Thanks, Dad.

Instead, I've been

practically killed by a madman.

And hippos.

You had the key with you all this time.

Okay, just go, just go. Just go.

Now do you believe that?

Oh, my.

The Book of Genesis.

I'm holding the Book of Genesis.

Dead Sea Scrolls, every

single one of them.

Sheba.

The Book of Solomon.

Flynn?

Flynn!

I think we should be going.

Give me the book. Give it to me.

Look who it is.

Jerry.

Stop. Stop. I'll give you the book.

Just don't hurt him anymore.

Sorry, Flynn,

but I told you not to

come here, didn't I?

You bastard. You work for them.

Oh, you've got it backwards,

darling. They work for me.

Jerry! What did I say?

"Leave the treasure hunting

to the professionals."
