Come on.

That's right...

Sorry, cully...

My dearest Elizabeth, at long last,
my seemingly endless quest

to unlock the mystery of King Solomon's Mines

is almost over...

I must also report
with a certain restraint

while I'm as close to the mine
as I have ever been

there are outside forces that could
prevent me from reaching my goal,

momentarily I'm sure...

It has come to my attention
that my wealthy benefactors

and the local Kuakuani tribes

are in some sort of competition

to plunder
the riches of Africa

it has become depressingly apparent
that you're the only one I can still trust.

I am sending ytou this map
for safekeeping

this is a tremendous value and
must be guarded with great care.

It is my hope that I can protect you
from the dangers that I have found.

But in the event that you should
needed protection

I urgent to look up
Allan Quatermain.

He is a man of great honor.

Please keep this map
from harms away

and perhaps we can keep
the mine safe

from those who would tarnish
this legend forever.

Your loving father.

Binto

Take this.

run as fast as you can
and stop for no one...

Quatermain,

Africa shines on you

you should not blame this land
for your bad luck.

Khiva, I am not blaming Africa for anything

there has nothing to do with it
with bad luck.

partners stabbing me in
the back in my...

my wife ...

I have a son in England
who I belive needs the father.

And it's about time I become one

You do not belong in England,
You belong are here with us.

Yea Africa won't be the same
without you

Africa is will be the same
wether I am here or not

Who you are?

I am Twala. King of this land
and all what you see.

Oh, you speak english?

I know the language
of the white man.

But why did you bring me here?

do you have a map
thad leads to a key?

I want that key.

I have not the slightest idea
what you're talking about.

Kill him.

Now? ... wait.

Yes, I ... I ... I found

I found a map and may had mentioned...

something about a key. But it,s long gone
I sent across ...

the great ocean, to my
daughter in England.

thad is unfortunate for you.

you bring it back...

that's impossible.

No, Maitland!
Nothing is impossible.

you write to your daughter in England

and tell her to bring
that map back to us

the czar ... of Russia

hired me to find that map
and he had a great army behind him.

I wasn't afraid of him...
and I am not afraid to die.

I can produce pain
for worth than death.

Father?

Hello, Harry.

Father!

oh god I missed you ...

I also.

now let me look at you

You're definitly not little Harry anymore,
I guess to call "great Harry" huh?

Hello, Charles.

Who's there?

Hi, Margaret.

It's been a long time, Allan.

Yes it is.

- You can not go to take him back to Africa.
- No no .. I'm back...

- I'm in London.
- No, Allan.

Harry is happy here.
We have take in custody.

If you'll excuse us.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

Go.

See you soon.

Come here

Allan are filthy rich and
they're determined to keep him.

yourself may well be seen by court and law,
but you abandoned your son.

I did not abandon my son.

When his mother died, I sent him to London
to be with his grandparents,

because I felt to do
the best thing at the time

You sent him thousands
of kilometers away from you.

For his own good!

- yea you've choose to remain there.
- Austin, had to make a living.

it's very exciting life you lead, Allan.

Big game, hunting, go on safari ...

Seeing the salvaged land firsttime

Nobody blames you for choosing
this above your family.

I did not choose Africa
over my family.

to be perfectly honest, Allan,

in my opinion, Harry is far
better off with the grandparents.

You have plenty money,
will go to find schools ...

I'm not interested in
your opinion, Austin.

I'm his father,
He is my blood.

You need to tell me
wether I have a case or not.

You have to proof to the court that

you are a suitable and responsible parent.

what You need is money, Allan,
plain the other...

because they going to fight
you tooth and nail.

shure, I don't see any way that
you can get your son back. I'm sorry.

He raised is handsome,
but has a very rare dog.

- It is a facocero.
- A facocero!

Bartender, another one please.

Troubles?

I trained to be a father?

Yea..

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

We were obviously in the
wrong place. Come Elizabeth....

... I don't want you to mix in ...

Captain, do not be silly.
If he is here we will find him

- Can I help you, ma'am?

Yes...

We are looking for a gentleman
by the name Mr. Allan Quatermain.

Hi. I am Allan Quatermain.

He's been kidnapped in Africa.

Africa is no place for a lady.

I am not afraid of anything,
Mr. Quatermain.

Especially when it comes
to save of my father's life

That completes
and unpleasant man

What was my father thinking to him?

his well think to a rude drunk
with absolute no manners.

- and he most common sense?
What?

He makes apoint you
about you and Africa.

Is it absolutely necessary

Please do not start that again.
You know I made my mind up!

If Quatermain won't take us,
then we find somebody who will...

- Good!
- thank you

Oh, Praytor.

Bushell.

What brings you back
to dry land, Captain?

Well, ahmm this is my dearest
niece ... Elizabeth Maitland,

- Praytor, Bushell.
- M'am

Haunted.

Praytor and Bushell were with me
on HMS Hidalgo

Or was it in Kincardine?

Have many things to catch-up
I'll walk to the hotel.

Very well then, but make sure
you stay to the main streets.

- Bushell, Nice to meet you.
- Bushell, and where you are too?

Oh no!

Jaw, give it to me!

Give me the map, Miss Maitland.

- Sorry, what are you talking about?
- The map from your father. It belongs to us.

you are right?

Yea, Thank you.

You are welcome.

I did not realise, that your father
is Samuel Maitland,

professor of archeology.

- that's right
- Tell me what happened there

I told you. He has been kidnapped.
He sent me a letter.

Did he say where they might
be hold him?

Some place in southern Africa.

And I'm prepared to offer you a
great deal of money to take me there

Africa is a incredibly dangerous place,

quite far far remove
from the luxuries at home.

Elizabeth!

Thank God you're back.

Is anything all right?

yes somethings happened
Come quickly...

- How is everything.
- Yes I know

It was not a robbery.

The man in the alleyway ...

he was not after your purse

He was looking for something else.

- Have you been attacked?
- I'm fine, Captain

I think there is something you
not telling me, Miss Maitland.

Go...

Before he was kidnaped,
my father sent me something

- What?

I am sure you have heard
of King Solomon mines

King Solomon,s mines do not exist,
they are a myth.

This map leads to the untold
wealth of the ancient Israelites.

My father spent the best part
of 30 years, looking for it

He told me to guard it
with my life.

may I see it?

I don't take it to Africa,
who ever kidnapped my father, will kill.

- I do not think so.
- What?

They sell these maps
to tourists in Cape Town.

no, it must be mistaken because
my father's life ...

depends on me getting
that map to an African tribe,

in some place called Sitandra's Kraal.

Sorry, the mines are a joke,
and this map ...

What is it, Quatermain?

well I can conceed,
that Professor Maitland

made some unique discovery,
but I know that mines do not exist.

I dn't care about the mines,

I care about my father

now will you help me to save him?

CAPE TOWN

No, thank you, ma'am...

Quatermain!

stay away from Africa longer

You're an old dog.

I knew you'd find
another woman.

You're wrong Khiva,
She is not my wife.

but she is so beautiful...

Yes, I know. But,
believe me, she is a bit difficult.

I could manage this

What did they said?

The weather has been terrible.

Captain Good,

Khiva and Ventvogel.
Vent for short.

I have a job for you,
but you look a little busy.

oh Yes.

so Tell me about that Quatermain.

He arrive in this country twelve years ago.

He setup to my office straight
off the ship, nothing then a rifle.

I took him on
For a while, we did well.

And then?

He brought his wife on to Africa,
He had a child.

Then, he got careless.

He took his wife on safari.

she got mauled by a lioness
protecting her cubs.

of course he went crazy,

start of thinking he been punished
for all the killing he done

And then he turned on me.

What if we have to kill him?

let's just say he wan't return on me again...

you understand that the map
they carry is the property of Tsar?

I understand you need a guide

You're a disgrace.

I've I told you not to show your
ugly face around this parts again?

Mr. Quatermain, there is a
very large hairy gentleman

requesting your attention.

Yes, Miss Maitland,
and I smell him.

Why just stand up
and fight like a man?

Or, in your case,
as a woman.

Forgive me.

All right.

And what do you think is genuine?

Quatermain?

and give him a map.

CAPE TOWN

What do you reading?

The mystery of King
Solomon's the treasures

King Solomon's Mines
are part of ancient history.

like Captain Kidd's treasure,
or Atlantis.

- Right, Quatermain?
- Something like that.

Not deceive pulje.
Quatermain believes in the mines.

- he even tried to find at once.
- Really?

I was a kid.

- You are almost 30ty
- it was used to go,

and I never found one shred of evidence
to proof that the mines exist.

Yeah, but a good story sir

Wen you tell us about,
Miss Maitland?

- Why not? To let pass the time.

Well, according to the Biblical account,

King Solomon ruled Judea
for 40 years.

He supposedly a very wise king

who united the land surround
Jerusalem into a single country.

And he built one temple to
the one God of the Hebrews,

it would to rival all the grand palaces
of Mesopotamia and Egypt.

So he sent his men
the far corners of the world

and they found a place where it was said
the ancestors of the ancient

They had a huge treasure trove
of riches of all kinds:

Diamonds, gold, emeralds, rubies.

That place was called Ophir.

And, in return, those riches
They were used

to adorn King Solomon's temple

and nothing in the world
could rival this.

However, it is said,
that only a small amount...

of what the men found in Ophir
was actually used in the temple.

And the rest is yet to be found.

Would you care to have some, Boss?

It Depends. What do you eat?

An African delicacy.

you know, more like your caviar.

- Caviar?
- yea.

Well, then I'll ... give it a try.

Not so bad... How do you call it?

Mopani worms.

- Worms?

absolutly beautiful.

the Savannah, Miss Maitland.

truly Beautiful, is it not?

Yes.

so Let me take a look.

Honestly, Mr. Quatermain!

How does your wife tolerate
your uncivilized behavior.

Put this on. It just might help.

His wife died, Miss Maitland.

It happened a long time ago.

And, for your information,

I think she liked this...
uncivilized behavior.

What are you doing?

Determining whether you shall live or die.

She is reading your daughter's thoughts

If Gagool sees your daughter coming,
then you shall live.

If not...

What do you see, Gagool?

The vision is blurred.

It seems that
your daughter has failed.

Wait, I see something.

She travels with three white men
to Sitandra's Kraal

Good news.
Your daughter brings the map.

He shall live... for now.

you know, I do't understand, Twala,

What you want with the mines?
You have no need for their riches.

It is not riches that I crave.

you crave power:
Stone of the Ancestors.

But why? You are the king of
these lands. Of all these people.

Is not enough!

My father was banned from this place
and sent to the land of the white man.

I was raised amongst you.

if I know who you are.

And I know the best way to defeat you.

Hey, little guy ...
Come here.

- Boss!
- Khiva, Vent!

Miss Maitland, stop!
Do not touch those puppies!

They are alone. If we leave them here,
They will die.

Then shall be it.

Don't talk to me!

Listen, their mother is either dead
or right behind thad bushes,

waiting to come down on you-
or one of these antelopes.

Is this really necessary,
Quatermain?

Captain Good...
this is not your London high society,

where all you have at stake
is your reputation.

This here... it is your life
what is at stake!

- All clear, Quatermain.
- Thank you, Henry.

It's late... We need
to find a save place to camp.

all right.

I have never seen so many stars

It's really beautiful as here.

Thus seduces the savannah.

- Khiva.
- Numza.

Who take turns guard for tonight?
I take the first one.

ok Goodnight my friend.

Why we need a fire in this heat?

To keep predators away, Captain.

Oh I see. Well if you...
need me, just Call.

Good night.

I am beginning to see why
my father loves Africa so much.

It's breath taking.

Yes it is.

You mean to say,
we actually agree on something.

Supposed so.

Look at this.

Thank you...
for coming on this journey with me.

It's getting late...
Tomorrow we have a lot to ride.

all right

Good night, Mr. Quatermain.

Good night, Ms. Maitland.

Believe me, she is a lot more afraid
than you are of her

Isn't she doesn't.

are you all right?

All clear, Quatermain?

Nicely done, Henry.

When you find
a proper cat, let me know.

Good Morning!

A lovely day!
Did you sleep well, Elizabeth?

- Henry, what's for breakfast?
- Fillets painted.

- How are you holding up?
- just fine, Mr. Quatermain.

How much far that is Sitandra's Kraal?

about... three hours,
if we're lucky.

that are men.

the all Safety is my responsibility,
There has to be another way.

my Father's letter was very specific.

I have to make the change by myself.

she's right, Captain.

prefer Elizabeth to go alone?

We will be right behind
you the whole way.

If you see anything suspicious at all,
you yell as loud as you can...

and you run for cover,
you hear?

you be very very careful.

now go

Vent, behind those rocks.

Khiva, right side
behind the bush.

give map.

No... not until I see my father.

Give me map!

Not until
You show me my father!

Put the map down, Miss Maitland.

back away.

Quatermain- We got a problem.

I think this is our man
and he's dead?

Elizabeth! Run!

Cover me!

Miss Maitland!

get on, Miss Maitland!

com on.

Sergei! I'm hurt!

Come on! leave!

Elizabeth!

are you all right?

I don't like Russians...
And they knew about the map.

Russians?
What the hell Russians doing here?

I'm fine.

Elizabeth, you must tell him.

Tell me what?

For the last three years,

My father is presumed
of King Solomon's Mines

It has been financed
by Tsar of Russia.

I supose they think
the map belongs to him.

I didn't think he would be an issue!

OMG.

Petre is wounded!
Where were you?

You were supposed to cover us!

I was not hired to kill
for your precious Russia.

you had a shot on Quatermain
I know you had a shot.

I'm a tracker.
I track that's what I do

If you want to kill Quatermain,
you go ahead.

That's your departmenmt, not mine.

you'r a coward, McNabb.

you signed with us
you made that choice!

live with it.,..

Because, after today...
your friend Quatermain

wouldn't hesitate to kill you!

he headed inland.

the Tribes on the other side of those
Mountains are not very friendly.

we stay on the trail,
and let him do the work.

Everything is going to be fine.

Well, and how?
What are we going to do now?

- Henry!
- noo.

I know what you thinking, Quatermain.
but you can just forget about it!

It is time to visit an old friend.

- Nooo.
- Yes.

Momma Tuussee.

It is a sangoma.

Sir Henry.
how long has it been!

It don't we should be
talking to a witch doctor

We have no choice.

His father is a teacher.

Professor, actually.

Sir Henry... I think you've something
for me that might help.

A necklace.

he was a Kuakuani.

Very loyal to their king.

A man named Twala.

Twala holds your father.

you have a map.

Let me see it.

Follow the map... get the key.

What key?

The key to King Solomon's mines.

You will find the key
in the tomb of Virtuoso's

in the sands of the great desert.

Follow the path to Sheba's eye,

through her breasts and
into the valley of the Kuakuani.

The mine is there.

And Twala will be waiting.

And my father?

He too,
by the grace of the ancestors.

go, travel quickly

there isn't much time

What would happen in there...
and who is the Twala?

I don't know.

stages one way up...

Wait here a minute.

Who you are? And what do you want?

I am Umbopa.

You are heading north.
I was born in the north.

I haven't been home for a long time...
I will go with you.

I thank you...
but we don't need another bearer

I require no premium,
I can be of grate assistance...

just the same:
I don't need any more men.

I know this land very well, and
I've crossed the great desert before.

Khiva is chief bearer,
he tell you what to do

already anyone, it's enough...

we are now moving
in an uncharted territory.

Where few have gone
and even fewer have returned...

so if there is anyone in awe to turn back,
I suggest to do it now.

There's shame.

We'll all go with you.

Of course not, Quatermain.
We have no option.

Why do you think
African tribes to be interested

in King Solomon's mines?

They have no use Gold, Jewelry
and stuff like that.

It's a good question.

I think it's the Stone.

What are you talking about? What stone?

Legend tell that king Salomon's mines
contain an ancient relic.

The Stone of the Ancestors.

Do you think that's why
they holding my father?

They do say that one who holds
the stone rules all of Africa

Let's move out!

Do you see them?

All right...
This is where we dump the horses.

We let them go now, they have some
chance to get back to Sitandra's alive.

What do you mean
we are leaving the horses?

We're being followed, Captain.

- so Henry.
- Yes, Quatermain.

You, Vent and Khiva, put together only
what we absolutely need for the trip.

and get the rest together
to Boobath.

Captain,
keep to help, please?

Are we're going out there on foot?

Miss Maitland...
You should go back with the horses.

Momma Tuussee can arrange
save passage to Cape Town for you

- What about my father?
- I will find your father.

Look,
I need to apologize.

I should have told you about the Russians.

The truth is...
you have done not bad.

I also think

your father will be
very proud of you.

I hope so.

I need to see this through.
I am stay.

The horses are ready, Boss...
And so am I.

all right.

Khiva, you stay with me.

Vent, I mean you take
three barers,

I need you square movy area.

you Take two horses east,
two horses south.

This confuse the hell all these guys.

bring back a round and we
meet up tonight at Cascamba river.

- All right.

- and ber there!

I certainly hope you know
what you got yourself into.

I do.

There goes our transporters

Take your shoes off.

We want them follow horses, not us.

They were just here
few hours ago at most.

over here

Tracks.
They went this way.

No, wait.

Here... Two sets of tracks.

what now?

Which way, McNabb?

Stop wasting your time McNabb!
Which way?

Quatermain released the horses.

There are a ruse.
They went this way... On foot.

How do you know?
I see no boot prints.

There feet made those tracks...

Believe me,
another way Quatermain thinks.

bad ascent

- Let me help you, Boss.
- nonsense... I get in my face same

Sure this is my face same?

It's really amazing,
we are walking in a place

that hasn't changed
in thousands of years.

Most people only
see desolation in the desert.

I can't believe
It's taken me this long to get here

Why didn't you ever asked your father
if you could to join?

I did... all the time.

But, like you, he thought...

his fragile daughter
will be best let home.

was too dangerous for me to go.

You don't see much, huh?

This is ridiculous.

Quatermain, it's been a long day.

- Why don't we camp?
- We try to remain invisible, Captain

This is way to out in the open

We wait for dige
water will gone.

Someone is coming.

Sambona, Vent!

- Sorry, Boss.
- What happened?

I let them serial moles
but I don't think they followed

It seems our Russian friends
have a tracker.

Maybe it's best to follow.

Well what's the difference if we camp?

They know that we're here.

At least, we will be rested.

Yes, is an excellent idea, Captain.

Khiva, take the bearers, erect the tents,
Gather wood build a fire.

Yes, Boss.

- So you finally come to your senses.
- something like that

They are still asleep
This is the chance.

Don't take him for a fool!

He knows we are following him
He will already made sure of that.

The map is the property
of Mother Russia.

I take my orders directly from the czar,

not from you!

I thought we agreed that
let Quatermain take the risk

that a spear he get from a native?

- We simply follow
- No... We take the map now.

I want as few people as
possible getting to those mines.

Go impatience, my friend already
got his man shot.

And your procrastination is a weakness.

Colonel,

they were never here.

Ivan ...

We do it my way now?

I pray facing towards home
each morning.

It gives me strength.

How long has it been since you been there?

I was forced to leave
When I was just a small child

you just decided to go back?

The gods have foretold,
they have given me you.

me??

I don't understand...

We will shown the way.
You must have faith.

I do not think the gods
concern themselves to much for me.

The gods know you very well,
Quatermain.

The gods smile upon you

and they know your destiny,
even if you do not.

- What are you two talking about?
- Nothing.

I just try to figure it out

did you?

Actually no.

I think he's sad.

The kind of sadness that keeps him
from sharing his life with others.

In many ways,
He's just like you.

Unable to adapt,

but he does know what to do about it ether.

is that right?

Yes... it is.

You wanted to see me?

I hear: you saw the white man Maitland
without me.

For Why?

I had to feel him again

to see his daughter
more clearly.

So what?
Did you see more clearly?

Oh yes, I feel that she is
still on the way to us.

What happens, Gagool?

A white Man accompany her.

You should fear this man.

- Because?

- That I do not know.

but he will be an obstacle for your desire

So I have to kill him.

Of course, soon you get
what you want, my King.

I hope for you, Gagool.

Yes.

Nice watch, Boss.

Thank you.
It is also your necklace.

Do you want to trade for it?

My dear Khiva,
this watch was given to me...

by Her Majesty on my retirement,
It is very special.

Oh, this is too.

very well... it's a deal.

This is beautiful. What does it stand for?

I do not know.

I bought in a souvenir shop
in Cape Town.

ehh Khiva ...

How far do you think it is
before we get to the tomb?

It's hard to say.

- What do you think the cobra represent?
- A marker...

Hopefully, the entrance to the mines.

I don't understand. A cobra?

I do ... an actual monument,

a geological rock formation,

or... it could be a warning.

a warning for what?

I do not know.
But we'll find out.

These tracks are fresh...
not more then an hour ahead.

good

How long, Sir Henry?
That's piracy!

Quatermain!

Look!

aah be there...

so This is the Cobra's head,

but there is not much else.

We have get what the hell we lookup for.

We should have ridden those horses
until they die....

The vultures would have given us a way

Bloody idiot.

McNabb!

I think maybe you do not want
us to catch up?.

I think maybe you are with Quatermain.

go ahead...

And when the wind comes up
and close these tracks away,

You wander around in this desert
and get together lost ,

until the vultures come
and pick out eye balls.

Go on now...

No have to point a gun of me

- For the ancestors, you know.
- For you, Sir Henry,

who has the foresight to pack
a necessity of all necessities. Whiskey.

- Yes, same right back at you, Admiral.
- Captain.

- Congratulations. You just be promoted
- I'll drink to that.

I can't just stand around here
doing nothing, looking at rocks.

We have to do something.

This book explains why
King Solomon hid the Key

in a mine
in the middle of the desert.

It does? What does it say?

it turns out... King Solomon was building

such an incredibly ornate temple,

because he had fallen in love
with a certain queen.

Queen Sheba.

When Sheba traveled to Jerusalem
to meet with Solomon,

They fell in love, completely
passionately.

But Sheba's people did not approve.

She was after all an African queen.

And they were so different, came from
such different places.

One steeped culture
and tradition of African...

And, the other one...

So when She went to Africa,

Solomon did not give up,
he was so in love ...

that he sealed mines
and offered the Key to Sheba

in exchange for her becoming his wife.

Actually, he tried to bribe her.

The man was so desperate

that he sent the richest men
to wait for their reply.

And they waited for years

but Sheba can not
bear to leave her people

so Solomon sealed the Key
and returned forever.

What happened to Solomon and Sheba?

They never saw each other again.

Sad.

It is.

I wonder what it's like...

feel so passionate about someone

He would sacrifice everything.

I put my father's life in your hands.

Miss Maitland! You are right?

I think so.

Elizabeth!
You are all right?

I get something.

Tight.

- By the ancestors!

Help me.

No key.

Quatermain! Come here.

Is what?

Henry noo! Do not touch it.

Not touch anything.

Elizabeth? ... Elizabeth?

Not screem.

Captain ... Wake up. Wake up!

- Captain.
- What is? Where am I?

wah... ahh... okay

Where is Elizabeth?

With the Russians.

- The Russians?
- If.

- And there was another man.
- What a man?

Dark hair, dress like you.
A hunter.

McNabb.
