The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Page #4

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.

it will point the way

to Shangri-La.

Yang still has the diamond, and that

is where he and the Emperor will go.

She's right,

all the legends of "The Eye"...

mention the gateway.

I like her, Alex,

she knows what's what.

Let's just say, that

we were to believe you.

- Could you guide us there?

- Yes, I have been there once.

I remember the way.

Himalayas?

Means in a plane.

Huh... I just know

the "Mad-Dog" for the job.

I know, no self respecting pilot,

would land on the valley floor...

but I don't have any

self respect, so what...

I'll put you down

the mountain half ways.

That still will give

us the advantage.

Sure, but no guarantee

anyone will live.

Really!

I'd tell you,

fasten your seat belt...

but I'm to cheap to buy any.

- Why am I laughing?

- Here we go...

be calm, it's safe and secure.

Let's go!

We're gonna crash.

- Hang on!

- Don't anybody move!

Nobody move!

Nobody move!

- Huh?

- What is by god, this awful smell?

The yak, they yaked... uh...

Welcome to the modern world, my Lord.

Why did you raise me?

I love this land.

Only you can lead us back to greatness.

What is in it for you?

I want to serve as your general.

The last general I trusted...

betrayed me.

I will not make that mistake.

I cannot escape this curse

until I am mortal...

General.

I understand, my Lord.

We need to find the Pool

of Eternal Life.

This will point the way.

We must do it quick,

to free me from this curse.

Delta, tango, alfa, to Ricochet.

Come in Ricochet.

Delta, tango, alfa, this is Ricochet.

Go ahead Mad Dog.

Rick, you know that Yang fellow,

you told me to keep my eye out for...

- he just showed up.

- Ricochet out, thanks Mad Dog.

It's those people, let's go.

Jonathan, wake up!

What?

Take a break!

We reached more than

half way, we're gonna...

we're gonna camp up there

for tonight.

Lin said, if we leave

at first light...

we'll reach the gateway by noon.

Did she happened to mention, how

she knows so much about the gateway?

No, not really.

She's kind'a mysterious.

She certainly managed

to enchant you.

Come on, Alex.

You obviously like her.

Mom, the wind down there,

is clearly messing with your head.

What clever secret

she's hiding, I...

I just don't want

to see you get hurt.

Hey, I appreciate that, but...

you know, I had my fair share of

experience with the opposite sex.

Really?

Huh... how many experiences

we're talking about?

Huh... well... huh, you shouldn't...

you shouldn't ask questions, you

don't wanna know the answers too...

- okay, mom?

- Right.

Hey! Mom.

Sorry I blamed you guys for

for raising the Emperor.

Hm'mm...

- What's so funny?

- Oh, well...

my mother is under the impression,

there's something between us.

I hope nothing romantic.

Yeah, well, I... huh, I told her

there was no chance of that.

We're the opposites

you and me, right?

You guard Tombs, I raid them...

you like ancient knives,

I'm into guns.

Those are some pretty

insurmountable odds.

Absolutely.

Well, good.

Now that we've cleared that up...

let's focus on taking

down the Emperor.

I agree totally.

Besides, you're not my type.

Of course not.

You don't like a woman, who can

knock you on the back side.

Expression, "Kick my Ass".

For the record...

you didn't.

It's not easy being me.

Oh, yeah, that's about

as easy as being you...

isn't it, Geraldine?

Well, if I met a girl like

you Geraldine...

you know, hard working,

don't say much...

a little bit hairy,

but... I don't mind that.

There it is! We found it!

The gate way of Shangri-la.

Go, girl, go.

You're free.

Go, Geraldine.

Living free.

What did you do now?

Rob an armory?

Have you ever seen

a Walter P-38?

It's pretty anemic,

compared to a peacekeeper.

Well, it's not about size, dad.

It's about stamina.

You want power?

I give you...

the Thompson submachine gun.

The Tommy is good, dad, but the

cocking mechanism always jams.

Here, check out the Russian

PPS. personal assault weapon.

- Now this, is the future right here.

- You know it's experience...

that wins today, it's not all

about fire power.

Boys, if I may? Do we have

a plan for the Emperor?

Yeah, we're gonna hit him

high hard and fast...

and smash him like a Ming vase.

- And if that doesn't work?

- We go to plan B.

Plan B! You go upstairs, you

blow up that gold tower thing.

You light it up,

and blow the guy sky high.

- Me?

- Hey dad!

- What?

- If the explosion won't kill us...

the avalanche will.

- You got a better idea.

- Yeah I do, I set the ambush...

- with a long range rifle, we...

- Long range that's better.

gotta get close to him, dad, then we

can finish him off with Lin's dagger.

Look, I'm sorry, I just don't put

to much faith, in your girlfriends...

- magic dagger.

- okay dad, she's not my girlfriend.

You say that now, but

I still don't trust her.

Well I do, so you should

trust my judgment, okay?

Look kid, I put down more

Mummies in my time than you.

You put down one Mummy, dad.

Yeah, the same Mummy, twice.

Hand me the green wire,

will you, please?

Are you sure, you know

what you're doing?

Of course, I've done this

a hundred times.

If the Emperor places "The Eye"

up there, all will be lost.

Clear the path to the Golden Tower.

Prove yourself to me.

Get ready!

Let's give them a warm

"O'Connell" welcome.

Attack!

Fire!

- Bazooka!...

- Fire!

Fire!

Alex, follow me!

Move! Move in!

We gotta take out those bazookas!

- Fire!

- Go!

Fall back!

Move, move, move!...

Time to go to plan B,

blow up the tower.

Actually, I'm a little bid

concerned about plan B...

couldn't we just change that,

to plan C?

Get back there, go back!

I'll cover you.

Run, they're already

moving up the stairs.

Set up a crossfire!

Move it!

My last one.

Yeti!

Where are you?

I need you!

Yeti! Please come, quick!

Abominable snow-men?

The Tibetans' call them Yeti.

Please! I need your help!

These soldiers are evil!

She speaks "Yeti"?

Shoot! Kill them!

Why am I always,

have to save the day?

You know what,

I think the kid was right.

Get the other guy!

Watch out, Lin!

Behind you!

That's it! You can die

slowly or you can die fast?

I'm not scared of you.

Yeah...

I did It! Oh, no... I did it.

Time for a retreat, I think.

I'm on your team...

I'm a team player! One for all.

all for me, kind'a thing.

The dynamite! All that dynamite...

we should... huh, get out of here.

Wough! Back off!

Back off!

Run! Run!

Oh... I hate mummies!

They never play fair.

Dad!

Dad, what're you doing?

Over here! Over here!

Come on, over here.

Oh, no.

Rick!

Shangri-la!

Oh...

That's a diamond.

I could use a diamond like that.

Dad!

Dear, God...

Hold on dad, please, please hold,

I'm sorry dad, I just couldn't resist.

I'm alright, it's okay, I've been

in worse scrapes then this.

Avalanche!

Help, Help me!

Rick!

Please, help me!

Yeah! I'm still here!

And I'm still alife!

I'm over here, please,

somebody help me!
