The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Page #3

Synopsis: Centuries ago, the evil Emperor Han was cursed by the sorceress Zi Yuan who transformed him and his army into mummies. In 1946, the explorer Rick O'Connell and his wife Evelyn O'Connell are invited by the British government to take a relic, the diamond "The Eye of Shangri-La" to China. The ancient stone is capable of resurrecting the Emperor Han and of pointing the way to Shangri-La and the eternal pool of life. When the couple reaches China, they meet their son Alex O'Connell, who has discovered the tomb of Han, and Evelyn's brother Jonathan Carnahan. The O'Connells are betrayed by their friend Prof. Roger Wilson, who is associated with General Yang. Yang wants to serve Emperor Han, so he resurrects the mummy and they head for Shangri-La. The guardian of Han's tomb (and Zi's daughter) Lin tells them that the only ways to destroy Han are to prevent him from reaching Shangri-La or by stabbing his heart with a cursed dagger.

I'd like that very much, thanks.

Alex... huh, won't you go and tell

Professor Wilson that we're here?

- Hm'mm?

- No problem.

- Okay.

- Oh, just...

don't wake the big guy up,

while I'm gone.

I promise!

Hey, Alex, huh'mm...

you know, this is all...

really, really, big stuff.

Whatever you say, dad.

What?

Oh, there's a certain glow about

you, I haven't seen in a long time.

I guess Mummys bring

out the best in me.

Take a wrong turn into Cairo?

Sorry to interrupt.

- Roger.

- Professor Roger Wilson.

Hello, Rick.

You know, when Alex told me...

that you had gone legit, I just...

- couldn't believe my ears.

- Well, now I just pillage Tombs...

in the name of preservation.

Evelyn!

Congratulations,

on your latest discovery.

Alex deserves all the credit,

he's one hell of a kid.

- He's like a son I never had.

- He's the only one we've got.

So, next time you send him

on one of your field trips...

- you give us the heads up first.

- Yes, yes, of course.

And now I believe, you have

something that belongs to us.

- What's that?

- Hm'mm?

Oh, you mean this?

Oh... really.

Exuse me.

Wough...

Here, go ahead, here.

All yours... Rog.

I knew I could rely on you two.

I'm afraid your work is not done yet,

Mr. and Mrs. O'Connell.

I'd like to introduce you

to a friend of mine...

- General Yang.

- Roger!

Well, he is the man who

financed Alex's dig...

We're in this together...

body and soul.

General.

Search him!

"The Eye" belongs to Chinese

people, you can't do this.

So, Rog, you snake.

How much did... huh,

Ying... Yang pay you?

Enough to pull strings

at the foreign office.

Make sure it was you two

who delivered "The Eye".

- Turn around!

- "The Eye" contains...

the elixir from the pool

of eternal life.

I need you to open it,

Mrs. O'Connell.

No, you're going to use it,

to wake the emperor, aren't you?

And his terracota army.

At least that's the general idea.

Raising an army of Mummies

is insane.

- Listen Yang...

- Shut up!

We're waiting.

Time to open the sarcophagus.

Move it!

Read the inscription, now!

Ancient Chinese isn't my forte.

Here is some encouragement.

Wilson!

- Don't do it!

- No Evey, don't do it.

They're just gonna

kill me anyway.

The inscription says,

that only a drop of blood...

from a person of pure

heart can open "The Eye. "

Your husband was right.

No!

Only the pure at heart, will sacrifice

themselves for the one they love.

Open it.

You never called

after our last date.

I don't have time

for games, Alex.

You know my name, but, huh...

I don't know yours.

It's Lin.

You... huh, wanna explain to me...

why you tried to kill me?

We could do that,

or we could save your parents.

Wilson, you son of a b*tch.

Get with it, O'Connell.

Alright...

Once this touched his hand...

the Emperor will rise,

To rule again.

Finish him off.

Alex, please...

Oh, no, no don't, no, please.

Alex, please.

That's not him.

This is a unique.

It's a decoy.

Where the hell

is the Emperor then?

Stay!...

No!

Here we go again.

Ahh...

I live to serve you, my Lord.

I can help you become immortal.

If you are lying, you will burn.

Wait, wait,

you wait for me!

I'm coming with you,

just wait up...

Watch out!

Come on, come on, we gotta catch

up with that Mummy real fast.

The longer we wait,

the stronger he get's.

Open the gate!

Open the gate!

- Open the gate!

- Wait for me.

Hey! Stop! Stop! Stop!

- Okay, hold it!

- You crazy nut.

Yea, yea, yea, I know, you better get

out, there's a Mummy on the loose...

- I need your truck! You wanna drive?

- Why not?

God, I love a woman,

who can drive a truck.

Hey pal, I'm sorry, here...

take this. Happy New Year!

Hurry, honey!

No... move over!

No!

God!

Jonathan, get in the back.

- Sorry about Rolls.

- You guys are like Mummy magnets!

To the right!

- We have to turn you around!

- Okay.

Excuse me.

- Hey, we cold use this.

- Give it to me.

- Oh yeah, that's a better idea.

- Size counts.

Stop messing about,

he's getting away.

Alright, that's it.

- Aim for the Emperor!

- Aim for the Emperor, me?

- Light the fuse.

- I'll try.

Fire!...

Did we get him?

- Fire!

- Fire? What?

- The back of your ass is on fire!

- My ass?

- Hold still, I'm trying to put it out!

- My ass is on fire!

- Put me out, Rick!

- I'm working on it!

Spank my ass!

Spank my ass!

Alright, let go.

Give me your hand!

Wait...

- Where're you going?

- I know a shortcut.

Evey!

I told you, it was a shortcut.

Wow, now they're chasing us.

Hurry!

Evey here, here you'll need these.

- Don't wait for me.

- Where're you going.

Out.

- Where's Rick?

- Where'd you think?

Nut's...

That's just great.

Wough!

Give me your hand

and get on this horse.

Get back, dad!

Alexander Rupert O'Connell,

you get right on this horse...

this instant!

Get out'a the way, Evey!

Get out'a the way!

Wough...

Evey!

We gotta go back to help Rick.

Rick? Forget Rick, here they come!

- I'll go after the Emperor.

- Trust me...

I got a little more

experience with Mummies.

But I have the only weapon

that can kill him.

Okay, I'll cover you.

Let's go!

- I thought you were dead.

- He missed.

Here!

Take this.

Wough!...

Now...

No...

Oh, no.

Huh... ahh... thanks Rick...

- will you pay the cab?

- Does it look like I have a wallet?

You know I would've killed the Emperor,

if you two hadn't blown my cover.

I had everything under control.

Oh, yeah, that's exactly

what we were thinking.

Oh yeah, good going,

you raised another Mummy.

And this bugger has superpowers.

He's got control over fire, water,

metal and who knows what else.

- And you dug him up anyway.

- You ain't gonna pin this one on me...

- okay, dad?

- Stop it, you two!

No one's to blame here.

- Wilson manipulated all of us.

- Well, that's true.

I appologize for my parents.

But, I... I thought, we went

through it well together.

Except we failed.

I'm sorry, we haven't

been properly introduce.

- Who are you exactly?

- My name is Lin.

My family has watched over the

Emperor's Tomb for centuries.

The Emperor can not be killed,

unless he is stabbed...

through the heart with this... My

mother put a curse on it long ago.

Hm'hm...

Very well,

quick family meeting, alright?

- Sit down!

- Well.

What do you really know

about this girl?

Well, not much.

But after I helped, I'm willing

to go on a little faith.

- Fai...

- Time is running out.

You do believe in the concept

of personal space, do you?

If the Emperor reaches Shangri-La and

drinks from the pool of eternal life...

he will raise his army,

and no one will be save.

I just kind'a like to say this,

boys stay handsome forever.

- Shangri-La is crock.

- You know, that's what...

you used to say about Mummies too,

John, you did pretty well with it.

- Well said.

- The gate way to Shangri-La...

lies in the mountain pass,

high in the Himalayas.

Beyond it, is the golden tower.

Once the diamond is

placed on top...
