- (Swarma) We enter the Devil's Heart.

(Quatermain)

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

(Jesse) The water's hot too.

Are we going into a volcano?

(Quatermain) No, just the Devil's Heart.

(sizzling)

Quatermain, what are we gonna do?

(rumbling)

Back-paddle.

To the right.

Pull.

On the right.

(Askari screams)

This could be it.

Great.

(screams)

Sorry.

Where are we?

The river must have tossed us off

into an antechamber. Where exactly?

- How are you?

- Oh, I don't know. Ouch.

(groans)

- Fine.

- Yeah?

- What do we do now?

- We're a little vague on that.

Swarma's run out of legend.

I found some markings here

that might help.

They're eroded but these look

like a native dialect

and there's some French

around the corner here. There.

And these.

- It's Phoenician.

- What does it say?

"Phoenicians speak of a golden temple."

(screams)

Jesse! Can you hear me?

Are you all right?

Of course I'm not all right!

I just got sucked down this damn hole.

She's all right.

Jesse, take this lantern, see where you are

and tie the rope around your waist.

I know where I am.

Just get me out of here.

Gold! There's gold blocks down here.

Perhaps I should go down and help her.

Gold could be very heavy.

(Quatermain)

What's goin' on? Are you all right?

(screams)

- I'm coming down, honey.

- There's a bunch of dead people here!

- (Umslopogaas) Are you all right?

- Yeah, we're all right.

More than I can say for the rest of 'em.

It's a graveyard down here.

Oh, no.

- It's not your?

- No, no. It's Tremont.

We just have to keep hoping.

This kind of death goes hand in hand

with our kind of life.

It's the price we pay

for living a great adventure.

OK.

Pull her up.

(rattling and hissing)

(growling and roaring)

(yells)

(screams)

(roaring)

What's goin' on up there?

(screams)

(roars)

(Jesse) Quatermain, come on! Come on.

- (both scream)

- Let's get outta here. Quick.

(Swarma) You don't need to ask me twice.

(Jesse) Maybe this tunnel goes under

the lost city and keeps right on going.

Or maybe it stops right here.

Stand back.

- There's no other choice.

- Quatermain!

- I don't wanna do this.

- (Quatermain) Jump. You can make it.

(squeals)

Uh!

(Jesse) Come on, Swarma.

(yells)

Never in my life have I been so tempted.

- It's getting hot in here.

- We must be near the volcanos.

I hear breathing.

- I don't hear anything.

- (growling)

Flatten yourselves against the wall.

Take this.

(growling)

(roaring)

(roaring)

- (Jesse) It feels like we're going uphill.

- (Quatermain) Whole trip's felt that way.

The air is cooler, fresher.

(Quatermain) It's coming from up ahead.

- (Swarma) Please, do not do that.
