Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Page #4

Synopsis: At the Museum of Natural History, there's a new exhibit being unveiled. Larry Daley, who manages the night exhibit where the exhibits come to life because of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, is in charge of the presentation. But when the exhibits go awry, Larry finds himself in trouble. He learns the Tablet is corroding so he does some research and learns that Cecil, the former museum guard, was at the site when the Tablet was discovered. He tells Larry they were warned if they remove it could mean the end. Larry realizes it means the end of the magic. He talks to Ahkmenrah who says that he doesn't know anything. Only his father the Pharaoh knows the Tablet's secrets. He learns that the Pharaoh was sent to the London museum. So he convinces Dr. McPhee, the museum curator, to help send him to London. He takes Ahkmenrah with him but some of the others tag along, like Teddy Roosevelt, Attila, Octavius, and Jedediah.

Well, you can't.

Yeah.

Because they're dead.

Right.

But, look at that one.

Looks like a kid?

You didn't know him, did you?

C.J Fredericks.

He worked here.

- He worked here?

- Yeah, when he grew up.

- No.

- Yeah.

He was a night guard.

Same as you.

Wait a minute. C.J.

C.J Fredericks.

Cecil Fredericks?

Sexiest night guard we ever had.

Present company included.

Boy, could that man move.

Larry?

Hey, Cecil.

My God, it's been years!

You look like you're doing pretty good.

I've still got it, pal.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you about the tablet.

What the heck is Short Stack doing here?

Hey, Gus. You're looking well.

Reginald.

Are you here to frame us again?

Send us back to the slammer?

I didn't frame you.

You were actually stealing.

And I was the one

that got you out of jail, so...

- Yeah.

- We've got a nice life here.

The past is the past. We've moved on.

I don't think this guy's moved on.

Listen to him, monkey face.

We've put all that

tablet stuff behind us, Larry.

It's old news.

Besides, we really never knew anything

about that old tablet.

We just worked there.

Something's up with it.

I told you, I can't help you.

Maybe this kid can.

Maybe we'd better talk alone.

Expedition like that is a

pretty amazing thing...

for a 12-year-old boy.

I tried to move on...

but there was something

about that tablet.

It's turning green,

like some sort of corrosion.

And something's happening

to Teddy and Dexter...

Jed and Octavius.

They're all acting weird.

It's like the green rust

is affecting them.

"The end will come. "

What?

The locals, they warned us.

They begged us to leave that tomb alone.

I thought it meant the end of the world.

But maybe it meant the end...

End of the magic?

We should have listened.

Should have listened.

Instead, we shipped Ahk

and the tablet off to New York...

and his folks to England.

Wait. Wait.

Ahkmenrah's parents are in England?

It was a joint expedition.

Some of the artifacts stayed in Egypt.

The rest was divided up between

New York and the British Museum.

Ahk said that his father

knew the secrets of the tablet.

I think I have to go talk to him.

I need you to listen to me.

Our esteemed chairwoman

asked for my resignation.

She said, since the Night Program

was my brainchild...

that the buck starts and stops with me.

- I can fix it.

- How?

I need you to let me take the tablet

and Ahkmenrah to London.

Sorry. I'm just processing that.

Input data analysis.

I've just told you I'm being fired,

and the first thing you ask...

is if I'd allow you to take

some priceless artifacts...

away with you on holiday.

- Yes. Please.
