The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Page #5

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.

- We're over here! We're over here!

- Alex?

- Mom, we're down here!

- Alex!

We're over here.

Oh, my God!

We've got to take him to Shangri-La now,

it's our only chance.

We made it!

The pool!

Mother.

My sweet daughter.

I beg you.

My father is dying.

These are my friends.

Please.

Come.

Thank you.

He must rest, we'll take

him to my chamber.

Where are you going, General?

Our destiny awaits.

Well, it's not everyone, that gets their

brother in law, back from the death.

Yeah, I give'm my first

Is this Shangri-La?

I can live here,

lots of opportunity...

A casino!

I was wrong to involve

you in my revenge.

No, mother.

I would do anything for you.

They're resting all.

Thank you.

How did you get

involved in all this?

The Emperor murdered

the only man I've ever loved.

Lin's father.

I would have died too

by his hand...

if the Yeti's had not found me,

and brought me to this pool.

Huh... look...

how this all happened is...

even before Christ?

And how long have you

guarded his tomb?

Over two thousand years.

The Emperor must never be

allowed to reach the pool.

Or he'll have the power

to raise his army.

And once he becomes immortal,

he can transform himself...

into the most hideous

creatures ever seen.

I will take the first watch

at the entrance.

I... huh, I have no problem,

dating an older woman.

I'm afraid we can't be together.

Huh... why?

Because I will be living forever.

I don't want to watch you die.

So what? That's it?

You just gonna sit on the

sideline for eternity.

My mother has mourned of

my father for the centuries.

I don't know if my heart

can bear it.

People can live an entire

lifetime in one day.

I wish my parents could live everyday.

Alex!... Your father is awake.

Get up here.

Hello.

If this is heaven, it looks

pretty good so far.

Hmm...

Nice to see somethings never change.

Go easy on him,

he feels terrible.

When I saw you lying there, Dad.

I've... I've never been

so scared in my life.

Well, that makes two of us.

I mean... huh, you're not

supposed to die...

you're "Ricochete" O'Connell, right?

You get beat up, you get

tossed around and...

and yet you're the one

standing at the end.

I really don't know, what I would

have done in the world without you.

Alex...

the truth is...

I'm just trying to...

I'm ju...

I'm trying to be a good husband

and I'm trying to be good parent...

and the truth is, I've been

dropping the ball lately and, huh...

No dad, I haven't been the

worlds greatest's son.

It's not what it means, because

she's got the rest out of me.

Come here.

My boys.

You look tired, you should rest.

I'll stay.

Fate is about to deal

it's final hand.

If we are to defeat the Emperor...

I must ask for one more sacrifce.

Anything, Mother.

Your immortality.

Oh, no, his power

has been fully restored.

Time to go.

General Ming's daughter.

Your child will be mine.

He is immortal.

Die! You three headed, (?)

to be, son of a b*tch!

- Lin!

- Lin!

Alex!

Alex!

He is taking her back to his

Tomb to raise his army.

Is there a faster way

to get down from here?

The Yeti's can't help.

But he's already in the air,

It'll be too late.

"Mad Dog" can out fly a three headed

lizard anyday of the week. Let's go!

Board-side, at nine o'clock.

Rick... should I quit drinking?

Jonathan to Rick!

You've better get move on...

if you gonna beat him to the Tomb.

Yeah, yeah, just get back here as

fast as you can, for reinforcements...

no sight seeing.

Here, dad.

- Lend me?

- Yeah.

Nice!

The Terracotta army

is not indestructible...

until it crosses the great wall.

It's a good point, how exactly,

we're supposed to do that?

When the Emperor build the wall, he

buried his enemies underneath it...

then cursed their souls,

to hold it up for eternity.

Most of them were

conquered soldiers.

I will call them to battle

once again.

We mark on altar,

raise an army...

that sounds like a plan.

Let's go.

Grab her!

Guard her with your life.

Alex?

- Where'd he go?

- Where do you think?

AWAKE!

Today you awake to a world...

in the grip of

chaos and corruption.

Open the gate of the past and free the

souls of the wrong who he's damned.

I will restore order...

I will retake what is mine.

I will crush any idea of freedom.

In the name of the ancesters

and rightious...

I sacrifice my immortality

and that's of my daughter...

so that you may rise this day.

I will slaughter without mercy.

I will conquer without compassion.

I will now lead you

past the Great Wall.

Once you cross,

you will be indestructible.

Bring down the wrong of

the oppressed on this Emperor...

and all who follow him.

I raised you for one purpose...

to enforce my will

on the entire world!

Long live the Emperor!

I call up on the hundreds,

and the thousands...

that you may rise up

and seize this moment...

to take your victory,

to take your justice...

and to take your revenge!

Zi Juan.

Let's go!

It's General Ming!

Follow General Ming!

Prepare for battle!

These are...

you're the good dead guys, right?

You are the good dead guys.

- Do you think they speak English?

- We're with Zi Yuan.

- Zi Juan?

- Yes.

To battle!

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

Archer form up!

They're coming.

Fire!

- Hey, that's my favorite blue shirt.

- That's what I hate about you.

Death to General Ming!

Charge!

Welcome to 20th century.

We can't let them cross the wall!

You are no longer immortal.

Honey! Fall back, to a higher ground.

- I really hate Mummies.

- It seems the feeling is mutual.

Shut up, and get the hell

away from me, boy!

Run!

- Here!

- Got it!

It's time I tell you, I've been

in more scrapes then that...

it's time to hit back.

Die! You Mummy bastards! Die!

There is no cause,

for bad language.

Jonathan, certainly knows,

how to make an entry.

Any regrets, darling?

No, none, not ever.

- You okay?

- Yeah, sure, no problem.

- We had it completely under control.

- There.

This guy ever run out of tricks?

Mother! No!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Dear...

Hit this through his heart.

You must live, okay?

And fight on.

- She said, through the heart.

- Through the heart.

Come on.

Get in!

The O'Connell's are going to

stop the Emperor!

- Once we get in, what's the plan?

- "Divide and conquer".

No offense, big man,

you sure about that detail?

Yang, just crossed the road.

Hang on!

Remember our deal, when this is over,

my men get to drink for free.

You can keep the whole

damn bar, for all I care...

I'm getting the hell out of China.

There!...

I dug you up...

and I'm gonna put you down.

Alex?

Alex.

- Let go!

- Never!

Enough tricks! Where is your honor?

Fight like a man.

Devide...

and conquer.

Now you can rule...

in hell!

The Emperor is dead!

The Emperor is dead!

- Evening girls. Looking well.

- Good evening Mr. Maguire.

Have a very nice evening.

You dance great for an old lady.

Someone told me to stop

living on the sidelines.

Well, he you sounds
