The Rock and Michael Clarke Duncan: 'The Scorpion King' Page #5

---

All I needed was salt, Peter's salt.

It was here all the time.

This place is just full of it.

By the way, do any of you

happen to have any water ?

- What do you think, is it safe to drink ?

- Not anymore.

Delicious, you see the sandstone must act

as a natural filter. - Quiet...!

I'm alive....I'm alive...

...for the moment.

- Mathayus!

- Move !

Assassin !

The Gods are good to me.

When we last met you offered to kill me.

Now I have a chance to return the favour.

You trespass here.

Our survival depends on this

place being kept a secret.

So we have a problem,

as long as you're alive.

No problem ! I can keep a secret,

like no other...in fact....

I can not remember how we got here...

...we took a left turn....

- It's to late for that.

- Balthazar!

This place is sanctuary for all

of Memnons enemies, you know that !

- This man is dangerous.

- You're judgment is clouded.

My judgement keeps all of you alive !

This man cannot be trusted...and I'll prove it.

Bring the woman to me !

The first man to touch her will have

to come through me !

I hoped for nothing less !

That's not fair !

No !

Do you yield ?

- Never !

- Then you're a fool.

- We're brothers in the same cause.

- Brothers ?

You brought death to my people.

Memnon will follow you-

he will come for his sorceress.

Yes, I know who she is !

Memnon will stop at nothing

until she's returning.

He'll come swiftering deadlier once he has her.

Memnon will stop at nothing.

Hide here as long as you can, but believe

me when I say he'll find you.

And if he isn't stopped, he'll sweep across

this land and kill all of you.

And who's going to stop him, Akkadian ?

You ?

Will you stand alone before the fury

of his armies ?

Yes.

A gentleman always lets the lady win !

That's two out of three ?

- Dates ?

- Oh, thank you !

Cassandra!

I've had a vision.

Memnon will follow me here

and destroy these people.

You know this ?

The things I see are like

shimmers in a pond.

Some are certain and some

are like shadows.

But I do know this :

Memnon will release his armies

and ride straight through this place.

Memnon will die by my hand.

It seems the Gods favour me

tonight, Akkadian !

If you face Memnon...

...you will die !

- That is your destiny.

- I make my own destiny.

I need your help.

- Where do you think you're going with my horse ?

- To Gomorra.

Nothing we can say will

stop him.

Without your sorceress ?

She returned to save the lives of your people.

I won't let her face Memnons wrath alone.

Step aside.

Akkadian.

You 're riding to your death !

If I let you ride alone...

...what glory would there be left for me ?

This night we celebrate.
