The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Page #3

I'm afraid, we've retired

from the espionage game...

- haven't we, dear?

- Yeah! We don't do it anymore.

We finished,

we're completely done.

Well, just out of curiosity,

what is the mission anyway?

We need you to courier this...

to Shanghai.

- It's a piece of eyes.

- It's the "Eye of Shangri-la".

If you believe the legend, it points

the way to the pool, of eternal life.

It was smuggled

out of China in 1940...

and now the government, would like

to return it to the Shanghai Museum...

as a sign of good faith,

to the Chinese people.

And with your expertise

in the field, we naturally...

thought of you.

Oh, we would be so flattered!

Oh... huh, but Rick and I,

we made a promise to each other...

after the war... that we would,

hm'mm... calm down.

That's right, dear,

we did, didn't we...

I see.

Well, I must admit,

I'm a little disappointed...

first of all China is... very

dangerous...

their are a lot of factions...

would love to get their hands,

on the "Eye of Shangri-la".

If it left our hands...

the "Eye" could be lost forever.

Oh, we couldn't let

that happened, could we?

No, that could... could

be bad for the... world.

- It be terrible.

- Mm'hmm.

You know, she has a brother

that lives in Shang...

Jonathan!

Yes, he owns a Night-club,

if I'm not mistaken.

We have been meaning to visit,

we could... drop in and surprise him.

- We will?...

- Why not?

Does this mean, we can count

on you, one last time?

Yes!

Shanghai, CHINA

CHINIESE NEW YEAR, 1947

Here's to you, princess.

And I'm gonna tell you,

Hi, can you buy a drink for me?

Exuse me, Alex, hey!

Alex, you're back again!

Come here, Alex!

Let me get you a drink.

sorry uncle John, but...

- I got a better offer.

- No, no Alex, no, look...

okay, come here, to put it

in archeological terms...

that's the Tomb, in which

many pharaohs' have been laid.

Now listen, listen... just think

about me for a moment, alright?

Your discovery is going

public in a few days...

your parents are sure to find out.

They're not gonna be happy,

you dropped out of school...

Will you relax, uncle John, okay?

I'm here, and they're

a long way away.

Excuse me, okay?

I have some excavation to do.

Jonathan!

You're in China! Evey!...

Rick! What're you?...

It's so...

- nice, for you to drop in!

- Brother, we love to see you!

I had no idea he was here...

- Who's here?

- Who?

You stay away from her.

- Dad?

- Alex?

Now, look! What did he do!

- Jonathan, what's going on?

- I don't know!

- Go away, and let her go.
