King Solomon's Mines (2004): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Tracks gone west.

If we hurry, we can them
load up everyone!

This is not a good idea.

Why not?

Low of water.

If we go hunting them now,
We have no idea how long it takes

Umbopa says the water that way.

We have to find her.

You have the map
and the key to the mines.

you ask me no need to go looking for them,
is them must go looking for us.

But I did not ask you, Henry!



Vent, Khiva, let's move!

- You are not thinking, Allan!

Violence solves nothing.

We must make the girl our first priority!

But we won’t save her if we die of thirst.

The only water in this part of the Desert

It is the oasis at
Queen of Sheba's eye.

Like all creatures,
we must go there to drink.

And so must the men
who got Miss Maitland.

He's right.

Let's move out!

Tell me again Ms Maitland.

I don't know anything.
You're wasting your time.

The map that your father sent you
belongs to the Tsar.



We want it back.

Well, I haven’t got it.

so I supose you have no luck.

and so about you.

Wait.

Wait a minute.

You gave Quatermain the map
don't you?

What if I did?

We were partners once, He and I

you can,t trust him...

you can say what you want...

And you can treat me how you like.

Quatermain is never going
to give you the key.

there is a key?

We find Quatermain.
We offer you a deal.

The map and the key
for her life.

- what if he want to do it?
- how did you heard them?

Quatermain is a honourable man.

And is a sucker,
for a beautiful face.

He will trade you for the wealth
of King Solomon's Mines, right?

Let's circle back

And when they come,
you get Miss Maitland back again.

I hope you are right

How far do you think to Sheba's Eye?

I certainly hope you know where to go,
because I am lost.

You won't find the way we got.
It's a large desert.

Don't worry, We'l find Miss Maitland.
You must have faith in the ancestors.

Faith?

You know, for a wise man, you put a
lot of faith in these ancestors.

And for a wise man, you don't put enough!

keep moving!

Do you Pray, Professor?

I do.

You speak English?

I speak any language you need to hear.
I am here to warn you.

you must pray to God!
Pray for your daughter.

What do you talking about?

There are men who want what Twala wants.
They say, it belongs to them.

They have taken your daughter.

If they don't bring her back,
they will take mines.

and if they take the mines...

Why you telling me this,
why not telling to Twala?

Because it seems big change for our people,
but only if she survives.

your daughter's destiny is not written,
there is much spirit about.

I know.

pray that she survives.

or you will never get out of here alive.

Never.

how far ahead are they?

An hour... to the most

I don't think you manage to make it.

We must leave him here.

Give him some water.

Why? Dead men don't drink.

Why do you follow him?

ever hear of march of death?

two years ago, the Tsar ordered 150 of
his men to march all the way across Russia

from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok.
Just for fun.

It was middle of winter.
Suicide, and that they knew it.

But they went. Only one man made it.

And it was him.

Don't waste your bullets.

Miss Maitland, you got no water?

I think you should come back.
- I prefer to die.

If you die so does your father.

Come on.

We must insist.

keep on.

One foot in front the other, Captain.

Look at the captain.

You go to keep move.
- when you keep her.

You must keep moving, Captain. Get up.
- I can't go on now

If you stay here, you die.
- Let me die!

A man of the sea like yourself
is no one to do die in the desert?

You're insult of water.

you boys, fight now.

Water?

I smell water.

I smell water.

Where you go?

crazy English fool,
you have found that water.

They were just here
The sand is still wet.

The tracks lead away
They have gone

- I don't like it
- what can I do

We have her.

Drop[ your weapons, Gentlemen.

We are arround you.

I say drop your weapons and let her go.
- Wait.

Listen to me very carefully, Mr Qaterman.

Before I count to ten, you and your men
will walk down to us, very slowly.

Leave your weapons raised
above your head.

If you don't, I will shoot miss Maitland.

have you understood?

The count begins now: one... two...

Don't play games, Mr Quatermain,
he means what he says.

just give us the map and the key.
and we let miss Maitland go.

Eight...
- All right.

I am coming down.

We all coming down
- don't do it!

- I trust in an officer of the tsar
- is a man of his word.

We are soldiers,
Mr Qaterman, not murderers.

I said: drop your weapons!

I will give you what ever you want,
but I will not drop my weapon!

then I will kill her.
It seems then you were in a taff part, Sir.

one trigger pull...
you will never see the key nor the mines.

with that matter you will be dead...

And you lose your lady-friend.

Why you just shoot me? Then that one
blow you to pices while you reload.

I want the map, and I want the key.

As you wish, Sir.

take it!

I am sure you understand Mr Quatermain,
we need some distance. Let's move.

Don't do anything stupid, Miss Maitland.

Aahh run!

You are all right?

vent has been hurt

It's just my leg boss.

Your daughter lives,
and continues her journey to our land.

all this just not make you happy?

Yea I am happy that she is alive. But I am...

I'm not happy that she is
come here to save me.

I should never get her put her live at risk.

You are right to worry about her.

Twala is an unpredictable man.

It is very dangerous that she come here.

What kind of a father am I, to put my
own daughter in such jeopardy?

Other the question is:

What kind of father are you...

that your daughter would
risk her life to save you?

Thank you.

you should never have
traded the key for me.

- if I hadn't you be dead now.

He is quite right, Elizabeth.
These men are barbarians.

They fear for nothing to get to the mines.

I like to get hold of that McNabb,
and take the map back.

He is well gone.

So the next landmark on the map,
are breasts of Sheba.

What do you suppose there?

There they are.

The queen of Sheba's
breasts I believe.

I haven't ever met a women of thouse.

Now we have to do
is find McNabb.

So you say know these mountains?

Then you take the lead.

Don't look so worried McNabb.
Quatermain has no idea where we are.

And this is... Sheba's smile.

We walk through here
down to Sheba's breasts.

Sheba's smile.
- not her smile I'm read about.

its her teeth.

We are ahead of them now.

Come to papeims.

We setup on these rocks.

Watch your step.

Khiva, high there, left.
Captain Good, go here.

V, you stay with me.

Miss Maitland, If thing go sad,
and I have to move, you stay right here.

you stay quiet, understand?

What now?

Take cover. Right now.

McNabb, drop the bag and move on!

All right, take it easy!

Drop the bag, McNabb, and move on!

Cover Quatermain.

I'll got the bag!

Khiva noo. What are you going...

Khiva, ga.

Cover me, Henry.

Take a shoot, McNabb.

Now.

Let me see.

It is good.

You'll be fine, Khiva,

is fine...

don't ... don't to die please....

gods of the Earth, Sun and Stars.

take our brother and
make from his body a great tree.

Let it be a reflection, on what
Khiva's life was on this earth.

- May I join you?
- sure

I could not sleep.

I kept thinking about Khiva.

Me too.

When I was a little girl, my mother died.

I was so confused, and frightened.

right after her funeral my father came
to my room to comfort me.

He told me that my mother's spirit
would be always with us.

to prove his point he take to me outland,
carried me outside and...

we lay on the ground
anf looked at the stars.

He pointed to one, and he said:

Every time, God closes the door on life ...

He opens a window into heaven.

So let the Light shine down forever.

that's lovely.

It helped.

What is, Quatermain?
- Umbopa is gone.

No tracks, sign, nothing,
... just disappear.

What do you think?

I do not know.

Maybe just go home?

I make a fire, make some coffee.

common, wake up.

Give me the knife.

We are partners now, you and me.

I'll do it.

It is not about the money, McNabb.

I want the stone of the ancesters.

you won't believe a stone
as an evil power?

I am here for the tsar.

He believes that the tribes
of Africa believe it as power.

That is enough.

bite on this.

And hold still!

There is ... there is ...

What is it, Quatermain?

Don't move.

You don't suppose
there Cannibals?

What did they want?
- I do not know.

Maybe this is the tribe holding my father.

- I am afraid it's getting back to worse.
- get a lot worse for you, McNabb.

Just a hit, I will release him from sufferings.

We are the ones, who care about killing.

I will save you the trouble.

my people: the Kuakuani's...
review me carefully.

I am Ignosi...

...you legitimate King.

What is he saying?

Umbopa says, he is the is king.

Umbopa the King?

you don't remember me anymore?

When I was a little boy...

My mother and me, we left our home.

How can I believe you?

a mother with her kid should

cross the big desert?

Yea. And I returned...

in order to claim my throne.

Twala killed my father

and robbed me of my rights!

There is only one proof for You

to show: that you are your father's son.

This is proof which you are asking for

Why are you protecting these whites?

They are my guardians and servants.

And these two...

are my slaves.

I am nobody's slave.
- what is it some kind of a joke?

crouch down.

The Kuakuani's will kill any
intruder to her land.

If you want to live, you must do what I say.

drop down.

Ignosi, our king is returned.

Is perfect. They will lead us right there.

where do you think they take us to?

we’re go meet the man
who killed Umbopa's father

Twala?
- Ay, seems like that.

I am sorry for not telling
you about my birth sooner.

Why didn't you?

I was not sure if you would come
with me to this place.

Well Wait...

So you planed this all along?

The gods have foretold that
you would help me to be king.

In exchange I will help you
to find this place

Trade is my father come into this?

M'Lenge has told me Twala
holds a white man in prison.

He is still alive.
When I am King, he will be free.

What if you don't become king?

Quatermain, may I have the key?

What are you doing?

This key is the only thing I have
to help my father.

The key is all I have to win
my birthright and defeat Twala.

Twala is a cruel king, Miss Maitland.

He kills people and steal their land.

If you give him to the key...
he'll find the stone of the ancestors.

And the stone will give him
the power to talk to the gods.

If that happens,
there will be no stop again.

I think we can trust him, Elizabeth.

We met under the force of the Sun ...

to celebrate the power of the Kuakuani's .

there you see the white man.

full of lies and deceit.

This man...

lied against your king.

This is not a good time for a sacrifice.

He did not bring what he has promised.

The ancestors tell me...

that the key be brought to us soon.

Have patience, my king.

The time of patience is over.

Kill him.

Who dares...

to disturb this celebration?

who dare to disturb this celebration?

I am Ignosi, the rightful King.

You are a deceiver.

kill them.

there is no reason for violence.

My father was Cohadi, your king.

The father Twala has killed him.

My mother fled with me into the desert

Now I am back home.

You are telling that you are the king.

who can confirm this?

I remember his father

and I know, Ignosi is our king.

An old man.

I have thousands of warriors

which say that I am king.

You know the will of the ancestors.

The key Umbopa, give Twala the key.

The daughter of the white man

has brought the key.

I give Gagool the key to keep...

until we have decided who becomes king.

And you let free the white man.

I claim the throne from you to.

I request Nomolos, fight to live and death

You may choose one man to fight for you
I choose one of my slaves to fight for me

Who is left the live at the end
his master shall be king

where is Elizabeth?

She is preparing the food,
with the other service.

What do they want with us?
- Your heads on a stake.

You know at this stage
I don't care much.

just a long sit right beside yours.

Give me your weapons.

That means you do, soldier.

Everyone else.

That white man, Quatermain...
he is the one?

Give it to me.
- What is that my king?

Give me the key to the mine

If your warrior wins Nomolos ...
- I want it.

My king, will be wise not test my magic

Let's see how they use it.
- You are making a big mistake.

All right... I agree

at my view, the string is
brought up by the neck

But Umbopa is a compassionate man,
do you have a good night sleep.

of course, I hope the mosquitoes
bite a million holding you

If you are hungry, you can just
bite each others noses open.

Shut off.

I feel so ashamed.

Father, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
- I should never written that letter.

But I was afraid, Elizabeth.

I know, I understand.

I thought it would... buy me time
give me a chance to escape.

I should never send it
if you hadn’t sent it, I wouldn't be here now.

...and I put you, and those men
who helped you, into such danger.

Hello Sir, it's really good to see you.

I can not thank you enough, Allan

is anything all right?

Twala has chosen his warrier
to fight for him.

And what about Umbopa?
Who is going to fight for him?

Now is the time...

For Nomolos.

a battle to the death.

Only one of them will survive...

and his master will king.

This is not your fight.

I am going give you one more chance
to walk away. Take all whites and leave.

I won't harm you.

And Umbopa, what about him ?

I'll deal with Umbopa
in my own way.

and I will fight, as agreed.

Then you are a fool.

take your weapon...
and fight my warrior, as agreed.

Or I will kill you myself.

cut me down.

cut me down.

Kill the white devil.

Come on, Quatermain. Do it.

is too late.

buy an option now
for the rest way of course.

You rely on all your dream which you need.

And you need the good girl.

Don't ... Please, don't die.

Quatermain...
Noo stop fight.

Trust me.

I got it.

Go ahead... What?
Not look at her.

Get a breath.

and again.

Now stop breathing.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You do not. Why?

I do not seek power over African people.

You seek wealth ... which
in the end gives you power.

You are wise.
- you are flat to me.

The white who fights for Ignosi
you can not trust him.

He envy him.

So long as he envy him,
you must follow him.

Go.

Your journey does not end here.

When I was held by Twala...

this woman was the only person
to show me any compassion.

But I have one final favor to ask.

As long as men are interested in the
power of the stone of the ancestors...
