India was the last
country occupied by Alexander

He fought and defeated king Porus there

But he admired Porus so much

that he let him rule
India in his name, believe this?

Porus also respected
Alexander for how he treated him

Before leaving India
he gave him a statue

Will you keep staring at me?

Humans are really weird, Salma

We can't open the tomb
without them even if we find the fourth key

We can't open the tomb
without them even if we find the fourth key

Listen, Joe, got a solution?

No, I don't

Going to sit here? Go talk to him

Going to sit here? Go talk to him

When Youssef has a mental block
he can't stand anyone talking to him

Let him be now

Known each other a long time?

Known each other a long time!
I've known Youssef all my life

Known each other a long time!
I've known Youssef all my life

He's my only friend in this world

The three of us took up this profession

Youssef, Khalid and I

Youssef, Khalid and I

They'd get the loot after the heists
I handle selling it and get the money

They'd get the loot after the heists
I handle selling it and get the money

Then we'd split the money

Then, one day
Khalid wanted to work with Nadia

Then, one day
Khalid wanted to work with Nadia

Youssef refused to work
with her and told him to choose

either to be with us or with Nadia

Khalid obviously chose Nadia

And I chose Youssef

And I chose Youssef

Why?

Youssef and I
are similar in so many things

We both lead tough lives

We both lead tough lives

Know what?
Youssef is such a great friend

I swear he is one of a kind

I swear he is one of a kind

He's just too smart and outwits all people

He's just too smart and outwits all people

This makes people
feel stupid compared to him

People like us have this problem

People like us have this problem

- You're too smart too?
- So kind of you to say this!

Tell you what
You go talk him out of this mood

No, you said he doesn't like
to be approached when upset

to be approached when upset

I meant men, not women

Okay

- Just get rid of the gum!
- No, it's always me and my gum!

Sorry

Back in the day
I was at an Ihab Tawfik concert

Back in the day
I was at an Ihab Tawfik concert

Then he started singing
and all girls had partners to dance with

But I didn't

But I didn't

I danced alone

And slipped

And slipped

This is why
I was so afraid when we danced

I was so afraid when we danced

I feared we'd slip

Okay, fine

Why are you looking for the tomb?
I don't get how you agreed to ten percent

Why are you looking for the tomb?
I don't get how you agreed to ten percent

You want to complete
what your father started, right?

You want to complete
what your father started, right?

My father spent all his life discovering
tombs, antiquities and temples

My father spent all his life discovering
tombs, antiquities and temples

He made me feel
it was the most important thing in his life

He made me feel
it was the most important thing in his life

When he was
about to reach a big discovery

When he was
about to reach a big discovery

he died

Dad used to look for treasures
his own way, but didn't reach anything

Dad used to look for treasures
his own way, but didn't reach anything

So, I thought to look for them my way

So, I thought to look for them my way

- Perhaps I'll reach something
- Don't you feel afraid?

No, I don't

No, I don't

I get terrified

I learned to hide it as much as I can

Because you feel all alone

Because you feel all alone

I know this feeling very well

My late dad would tell me
"When you have kids..."

My late dad would tell me
"When you have kids..."

"You'll feel you're doing
everything in the world for them"

Your father didn't love
antiquities more than you, Youssef

Your father did it all for you

Your father did it all for you

To become Youssef Hussein El-Rawy

the son of Hussein El-Rawy
who discovered a great thing

the son of Hussein El-Rawy
who discovered a great thing

People would remember
him by that after his death

He collected those treasures for his son

No, your dad did not
collect antiquities for you to sell

Alexander!

Why did Alexander build that tomb
and place all those treasures in it?

Definitely for his son

He must've been sure his son
would reach the tomb after his death

He must've been sure his son
would reach the tomb after his death

If you're right
then, he must've hidden the fourth key

in something that he had
known would reach his son

in something that he had
known would reach his son

Right

What would that thing be?

The armor! Yes, the armor

Where is the book? I had left it here

Where is the book? I had left it here

Here

Look

The fourth key is in the armor

The fourth key is in the armor

After Alexander's death
his army leader took his armor

After Alexander's death
his army leader took his armor

to give it to his son; Alexander the fourth

Alexander had had
his own especially made armor

- I don't want to know!
- Okay, fine

The army leader
had the armor on board a ship

He faced pirates and defeated them

but he couldn't defeat a storm
that followed and caused the ship to sink

Alexander's armor remains in it till this day

We'll go get
Alexander's armor from the ship

I didn't shed a single tear

- For once, listen to your older bro! Run!
- I won't leave you, Khalid!

"Absolutely, Joe!"

"It'd have been better
to keep working together, Joe"

"It'd have been better
to keep working together, Joe"

"That was your choice, Khalid"

I won't leave you, Khalid!

Something hurts?

- Khalid!
- There's no time!

Khalid!

Khalid! Khalid!

Khalid! Khalid!

Khalid!

Move

Oh Khalid!

Your father spent
his entire life trying to find this tomb

Your brother died
here today to help us reach it

You must complete what they started

You must complete what they started

Don't let them take
our country's most important treasure

We'll go on

Let's go

Seems I'm going to spoil myself real bad!

Seems I'm going to spoil myself real bad!

You said there were
thirty tons only, didn't you?

Thirty tons! Looks more like
30 thousand tons!

Thirty tons! Looks more like
30 thousand tons!

Where to put all this?

Where to put all this?

We'll take our time

We'll take our time

This is Alexander the Great's tomb!
We've found it, Youssef!

"A single treasure of those
may change your life..."

"and have your name written in history"

"and have your name written in history"

- Only one thing is left now
- What?

- Only one thing is left now
- What?

- Watch out, Youssef
- Joe!

- Watch out, Youssef
- Joe!

Salma!

Nobody moves

Nobody moves

Salma

When Magdy moves
go quickly and stand in his place

When Magdy moves
go quickly and stand in his place

Hold still!

Go, Salma

See you later

- Let's...
- Youssef hasn't come back

- Hey
- I won't leave him

Wait

Go back, Salma

Go back, Salma

- Go back
- I won't go

I'd rather we die together

- Go, for my sake
- I told you I won't go

- Go, for my sake
- I told you I won't go

Just perfect! We ened up empty-handed

The thing we made it out, don't be upset

It happens
Once in the past, in Dream Park...

One more word and I swear
I'll bury you next to Alexander!

One more word and I swear
I'll bury you next to Alexander!

- Move it!
- And the treasure?

The government will manage

The government will manage

Let's go

Youssef kept his promise and helped
me discover Alexander the Great's tomb

Youssef kept his promise and helped
me discover Alexander the Great's tomb

A discovery that changes anyone's life

But it was Youssef
that really changed my life

But it was Youssef
that really changed my life

I changed his life, too
Yeah, I'd change the life of any man

I changed his life, too
Yeah, I'd change the life of any man

- Once in the past...
- Cut it out!

Okay

Youssef spent his life looking for
a treasure and did find what he needed

Youssef spent his life looking for
a treasure and did find what he needed

Madgy found what he sought too

Madgy found what he sought too

The thing is each journey has its end

The end of ours marked
the beginning of a new life

A different life from the past, but will
Youssef manage to lead a normal life?

A different life from the past, but will
Youssef manage to lead a normal life?

Or will he want to look
for a new treasure one day?

Or will he want to look
for a new treasure one day?

A treasure hunt that starts here and will
take us to the other side of the world
