MacGyver (1985–1992): Season 5, Episode 2 - Legend of the Holy Rose: Part 2 - full transcript
MacGyver and his archaeologist friend continue on to London and France in their search for the Holy Rose. Along the way they come across a notorious jewel magnate who has deadly intentions.
(Male narrator) Last
time on MacGyver.
Just tell me what
you want me to do.
Help me find the holy grail.
All this hocus-pocus
about the grail
and, uh, finding the
elixir of eternal life.
What I am about to show you, Mr. MacGyver,
is gonna knock your socks off.
[Groaning]
(Zoe) This is Diana's mirror.
I am absolutely not interested.
But it holds the key to a
secret that's over 800 years old.
Ambrose's secret.
(Wycliff) Diana's mirror,
the scepter of the triple deity,
and the holy Rose itself.
And you gotta have all 3 together
to point the way to the temple.
You have Diana's mirror.
Where does it point?
London.
Hallelujah, ambrose! 3 scepters!
Von leer.
Introduce Mr. MacGyver to
the, uh, sarcophagus, would you?
[Whooshing]
you see, as the water
level in this tank lowers,
it fills the spoon,
Which then triggers the
ratchets and lowers the blade.
In a minute or so, Mr. MacGyver
will begin to suffer terribly.
And when it's all over,
he'll be half the man he was.
- (Von leer) Take her out.
- What about MacGyver?
(Von leer) Intriguing, isn't it?
[Metal clanking]
[Whooshing]
[Metal clanking]
[Metal clanking]
[Creaking]
[Chains rattling]
[MacGyver grunts]
Oh!
[Gasping] All right,
ambrose, this is it.
Yeah!
[Panting]
[Gasps]
[Gasping]
[Creaking]
[Groaning]
[Whooshing decreasing]
[Gasping] Yes!
[Door opening]
[Footsteps approaching]
[Rattling]
Excuse me.
Excuse me?
What's that? Who's there?
Over here.
Uh, could you give me a hand?
[Screaming]
I trust your trip was pleasant.
What's become of professor
Ryan and MacGyver?
She's here with us,
and MacGyver is dead.
You killed him?
It doesn't matter who did
what to whom, professor.
She refused these resources
to interpret the scepters.
I hope they'll
prove useful to you.
I don't like any of this.
It wasn't part of
our arrangement.
You've been paid,
so you're involved!
In the grants, in passing the
information, in acquiring this book,
and in MacGyver's death.
You are totally
involved, to the end.
[Doorknob rattling]
Here you go, love.
A traditional English breakfast.
Cold toast, runny
eggs, and prune juice?
Swell.
Ungrateful little
wretch, is what you are.
(Eunice) I'd say
you better eat up.
Could be your last
meal, you know.
[Snickers]
[Metal clanging]
[Crunching]
[Metal clanging]
[Shattering]
Hey!
That's what I think of
your lousy breakfast!
You tell 'em I think their
traditional English breakfast stinks!
I want hot toast with butter,
scrambled eggs,
and orange juice.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice.
You could have been killed!
Never thought I'd owe my life
to a traditional English breakfast.
How did you ever find me?
I followed wycliff.
Wycliff?
Ow!
Wycliff?
Of course!
He's got to be the reason they
knew we were gonna be at the Abbey.
You figured that out.
Sure.
Then you made a few phone calls
and found out that he
was flying to London,
Probably on the concorde, and
they can only land at Heathrow.
So you hung out at the airport,
he showed up, you followed him,
and that's that.
Like falling off a log.
How did you get out
from under the big blade?
Uh, fancy footwork.
- Come on, we're out of here.
- No!
We have to find the
ambrose artifacts.
No, we have to
get you out of here.
These guys are dangerous.
But wycliff is here. And
why do you think he's here?
He's here because they need him
to interpret the
scepters, that's why.
We can't let him do that.
MacGyver, it's too
important. Please!
Ok. Fine.
We'll get the ambrose artifacts.
Terrific!
How?
Good question.
Where'd you say
they had the artifacts?
Downstairs in the study.
The study have a fireplace?
It does. Why?
I'm afraid I have an idea.
[Wycliff speaking Latin]
Now what?
Nothing. Just wait here.
Wait?
MacGyver, I want to help.
I don't need any help.
But i...
Ok.
(Von leer) What have you found?
The first scepter.
The Latin phrase is:
"Journey beyond kasarasburgus
to the crossroads of triacriae"
(Von leer) What does that mean?
(Wycliff) It must be a village or a
city somewhere in Europe that...
It's just a matter
of time. I'll find it.
About the grail,
if, uh, shima's correct about
the philosopher's stone...
He is not correct!
Shima's cult of
hashish-smoking fanatics
have been spewing that
rubbish for 200 years.
(Wycliff) There is no
philosopher's stone
or red earth
Or any other
elixir of eternal life.
You seem very sure
of yourself, professor.
I'm an educated
man, Mr. Von leer.
It is my greed which has
hopelessly entangled me
in your web of
intrigue and murder,
Not shima's hashish-induced
hallucinations of eternal life.
You believe what
you like, professor,
And so shall I.
(Wycliff) Ah, here we are.
The Latin writing on
the second scepter says:
"And once there, perform
the ritual of the Rose
and it will be revealed."
Perform the ritual of the Rose?
Well, what does
that mean to you?
Nothing. I'll have to
research Rose rituals.
It... it could take some time.
This could take forever!
(Von leer) I think it's time
To painfully convince professor
Ryan to become involved.
No. I won't have
any part of that.
Besides, you know I
can't allow her to see me.
[Chuckling]
Don't you think she's
figured you out by now?
What are you saying?
We met them at the Abbey.
Who else but you
knew they'd be there?
(Von leer) Now, the third
scepter. What does that say?
(Wycliff) It's even
more complex.
A-apparently, after performing
the ritual of the Rose,
ambrose says, "then one
should look beyond the open petal
"and seek the sacred stone,
there to find the message of the
goddess and the key to her temple."
[Door sliding open]
(Eunice) Here you are.
(Von leer) I suppose you
understand nothing of that as well.
(Wycliff) It will take
research. The answer is here.
It's just a matter
of time to find it.
Eunice, bring the woman here,
and send in shima.
Right you are, sir.
(Von leer) Now,
where do you begin?
[Sighing] First, this ancient
place, kasarasburgus,
We have to find out
what it's called today.
Where it is, if
it still exists...
Mr. Von leer.
[Groaning]
(Von leer) It's MacGyver!
- Which way did he go?
- Who?
MacGyver! He's
got the artifacts.
- You mean he's not dead?
- Did you see him?
No, sir, he's not
been up this way.
Bring the woman!
MacGyver's alive.
Search the halls. Alert
the guards, quickly.
He must be found.
You remain here.
I will see to the
search for MacGyver.
I want him shot on sight.
[Clattering]
(Von leer) Have
you seen anything?
(Man) No, but keep looking.
[Whispering] Come on, Zoe!
Got it, got it, got it.
Let's go, dearie.
Hey! Down there!
(Eunice) The girl's
gone and flown the Coop.
You'd better tell
Mr. V straightaway.
Now we've got 2
of 'em on the loose.
[Rustling]
All right.
[Lock rattling]
[Thudding]
[Grunting]
Well, now.
Ain't you just the one, ducky?
[Mockingly] "Ain't you
just the one, ducky?"
All right, let's go. Stay close.
[Guns firing]
[Grunting]
[Engine starting]
[Tires screeching]
Why are we stopping?
To find the right
road back to London.
We can't go back to London.
Oh, we can't?
No, wycliff studied this stuff.
He probably already knows
where to find the holy Rose.
No, from what I heard,
he was kind of stuck.
Well, he's not
gonna be for long.
The first part of the ambrose
riddle is easy, if you ask me.
[Speaking Latin]
"And journey now
beyond kasarasburgus
To the crossroads of triacriae."
Kasarasburgus.
Also known as Caesar's
camp. Cherbourg.
France?
Yeah, look here. We're here
at weymouth. Here's cherbourg.
It can't be more than 75 miles.
Across the English channel, Zoe!
(Zoe) Look here,
2 miles up the road.
[Exhales]
- Private airstrip.
- Right.
We can charter a
plane, be there in no time.
MacGyver, I can't express to
you enough how important this is.
Ok! Ok!
You don't have to
talk me into anything.
- I don't?
- No.
Because it's quite obvious what we
have to do now is find the holy Rose
that will lead to the temple, so
you can put the artifacts together
And start teaching the world what
it's like to be human again, right?
Right.
Yes! Yes.
[engine starting]
So let's get
Mr. Von leer, they have escaped.
Now what, professor?
Kasarasburgus is in France.
Today it's known as
the city of cherbourg.
Tell mammon to
get the helicopter.
I got the crossroads
figured out.
It's where the 3 sacred
roads of pilgrimage end
at a ruin about 20
miles south of cherbourg.
Right here, just off the coast.
What about the
ritual of the Rose?
That one, I'm stuck.
You know, Zoe,
you're talking about changing a
whole lot of this world as we know it.
I hope you're not too
disappointed if it doesn't happen.
[Helicopter whirring]
That's it.
That's the ruin.
See that ring of rocks?
Yeah, what about 'em?
(MacGyver) As far as I can tell,
They're not
indigenous to this area.
How many petals did ambrose
say were on the holy Rose?
5.
(Zoe) Wait a second.
Ring of rocks. That's it.
"Ring around the Rosie."
It's a mummers' ritual.
"Pocketful of posies"
refers to a cave full of flowers
and "all fall down"
is the grim reaper
bringing an end to
the fertility season.
I got a feeling you're
about to suggest
we go down there and
play "ring around the Rosie."
(Wycliff) My research
indicates the ruin should lie
About 20 miles
south of cherbourg.
What makes you so
sure the holy Rose
is within the circle
of rocks at this ruin?
The history of
that particular ruin.
No one's been able to comprehend
why those 5 stones
were brought there.
They're indigenous to the
southern coast of britain.
And there's a stone sculpture that
carries a puzzling Latin inscription
the French have
studied for years.
It's my belief that it's another
of ambrose's messages.
The final clue, so to speak.
(Zoe) "Pocketful of posies."
"Hush. Hush. Hush."
"We all fall down."
So if we're on the ground,
maybe ambrose wants us to be
looking low for something, huh?
"Perform the ritual of the Rose
And it will be revealed."
MacGyver!
(Zoe) That is the mother
of creatures symbol.
Where's the scepter?
Notches match.
It fits!
I'm getting butterflies.
Here's another one.
Fits again.
The scepters look like they
could work as, uh, pivot points.
MacGyver, look here.
What do you make of this one?
[Rumbling]
[Gasps]
A lock.
My stomach is killing me.
[Exclaiming]
Oh, my god!
The ambrose legend
says the casket of gold
Holds the flower of the goddess.
(MacGyver) That's some flower.
The holy Rose.
We found it, MacGyver!
What was the next step?
Um, "and look
beyond the open petal
"and seek the sacred stone.
"there to find the
message of the goddess
and the key to the temple."
[Air hissing]
How are you doing?
Almost have it.
Take a look here.
Another scepter lock?
Nothing. That's strange.
So is this message.
"Rest Diana's mirror
upon the sacred tree.
"when the garment
of the great goddess
"covers the holy Rose,
the power of the Trinity
Will open the world and
give birth to a new beginning."
ok, the scepters can represent
the power of the Trinity,
and we have the mirror
and the holy Rose.
What would represent the
garment of the great goddess?
It's an ancient
reference to the sun.
The sun?
You're kidding.
No.
He couldn't.
Could he?
[Tittering] What?
This stone, here.
It represents a
sacred tree, right?
Yeah, it's symbolic of Diana's
grove. They're all over Europe.
MacGyver, you're
torturing me. What?
Well, if this is
what I think it is,
Your ambrose was a genius.
And if that cloud would
move, I'd show you why.
Cloud?
What does a cloud
have to do with anything?
[Gasping]
I think these 5 artifacts
together on this stone
Make up an optical pump.
An optical pump?
Yeah.
When the sunlight
hits this mirror,
it concentrates the light into the
opening here on the holy Rose.
- The garment of the goddess.
- Yeah.
Then the light bounces
around the Ruby
and gains some intensity from the
gold surface surrounding the stone.
Then the light comes out here,
it gets pumped through the 3
lenses here on the scepters.
That's the power of the Trinity!
Ambrose invented
an optical pump!
In principle, anyway.
Great!
What is an optical pump?
A laser.
Ambrose invented
an ancient Ruby laser.
And it's brilliant!
We didn't come up with
this principle until the 1960s.
740 years later!
Why did he do it? What's it for?
I think he tells
us why right there.
(Zoe) To give birth
to a new beginning.
And I'd be willing to bet this
wall represents ambrose's world.
Oh, my, you think
that the temple
has something to do
with that mountain?
We'll know in a minute.
The sun's coming out.
It works.
Ambrose invented the laser.
Do regular lasers do that?
No. He must have impregnated
his wall with gunpowder.
MacGyver.
"And give birth to
a new beginning."
(Zoe) Oh, my god!
It's the temple
of the holy Rose.
Ambrose built it, all right.
In miniature.
[Camera clicking]
Look, MacGyver. He did it.
Ambrose collected
the artifacts of peaceful,
Earth-nurturing,
loving societies.
He did it!
(Wycliff) They've found it!
So, now they've located
the temple of the holy Rose,
Are you still opposed
to eliminating them?
I've said it before:
I don't want any part of that.
Very well.
Shima, open the door for
the professor, would you?
He wants to get off.
(Wycliff) No. No!
[Screaming]
Where did the legend
say the grail was kept?
In the center of the
building, under the dome.
[Clicking]
Well, ambrose sure
gave it a nice home.
What do you think?
I think myths and dreams
come from the same place.
But if this grail symbolizes
the highest spiritual potential
of human compassion,
then I think you've got something
really important to talk about.
Thanks, MacGyver.
Thanks for everything.
(Von leer) Excuse me for interrupting
this charming, tender moment.
[Scoffs]
I'm only sorry you won't be able
to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
It is the philosopher's stone.
The red earth.
Bring it here!
You guys are really
sick, you know that?
Your basic, sunk-to-the-bottom,
slime-ball sick!
Zoe!
Don't stir 'em up any
more than they are.
Our quest has finally
ended, Mr. Von leer.
[Gasping] Yes,
yes. Give it to me.
I want to touch it.
We could have never
found the red earth
without your
resources, Mr. Von leer.
(Shima) The brotherhood
of hashishim respects that.
Yes, yes. Yes, I know.
Now, let me have it!
I am sorry,
but you will not be among those
Who drink the
nectar of eternal life.
What?
[Screaming]
[Groans]
[Gun firing]
Mammon!
Kill them!
Shima is mine.
Any ideas?
Yeah, I think so. Come on.
Shima! Give it to me!
Now!
I am dying.
The red earth...
Give it to me!
[Wind blowing]
No!
[Camera beeping]
[Camera clicking]
[Exclaims]
[Grunting]
Come on, let's go.
MacGyver, look.
All right, careful now.
That's far enough!
The red earth, the elixir...
Is gone.
Scattered to the
wind by that fool.
(Von leer) But there could
be a formula with the treasure.
I will find it.
I will take the treasure!
You're dreaming, Von leer.
There is no formula.
Ambrose built a
museum for the future.
Nothing less, nothing more.
Believe what you will.
(Von leer) It'll be the last
thought you'll enjoy in this lifetime.
[Cocking gun]
[Screaming]
[Explosion]
[Rocks clattering]
I have a feeling deep down that
ambrose wanted that cave sealed.
Maybe he thinks the world's not
ready to start turning that corner, huh?
Well, you still have this.
One artifact.
Gotta start somewhere.
That red stuff in here.
What do you think?
It was, uh...
Nope.
No? What, then?
800 years of dust.
What about that cloud moving
in just in the Nick of time?
What do you think about that?
I think someone was on our side.
Yeah. Me, too.
time on MacGyver.
Just tell me what
you want me to do.
Help me find the holy grail.
All this hocus-pocus
about the grail
and, uh, finding the
elixir of eternal life.
What I am about to show you, Mr. MacGyver,
is gonna knock your socks off.
[Groaning]
(Zoe) This is Diana's mirror.
I am absolutely not interested.
But it holds the key to a
secret that's over 800 years old.
Ambrose's secret.
(Wycliff) Diana's mirror,
the scepter of the triple deity,
and the holy Rose itself.
And you gotta have all 3 together
to point the way to the temple.
You have Diana's mirror.
Where does it point?
London.
Hallelujah, ambrose! 3 scepters!
Von leer.
Introduce Mr. MacGyver to
the, uh, sarcophagus, would you?
[Whooshing]
you see, as the water
level in this tank lowers,
it fills the spoon,
Which then triggers the
ratchets and lowers the blade.
In a minute or so, Mr. MacGyver
will begin to suffer terribly.
And when it's all over,
he'll be half the man he was.
- (Von leer) Take her out.
- What about MacGyver?
(Von leer) Intriguing, isn't it?
[Metal clanking]
[Whooshing]
[Metal clanking]
[Metal clanking]
[Creaking]
[Chains rattling]
[MacGyver grunts]
Oh!
[Gasping] All right,
ambrose, this is it.
Yeah!
[Panting]
[Gasps]
[Gasping]
[Creaking]
[Groaning]
[Whooshing decreasing]
[Gasping] Yes!
[Door opening]
[Footsteps approaching]
[Rattling]
Excuse me.
Excuse me?
What's that? Who's there?
Over here.
Uh, could you give me a hand?
[Screaming]
I trust your trip was pleasant.
What's become of professor
Ryan and MacGyver?
She's here with us,
and MacGyver is dead.
You killed him?
It doesn't matter who did
what to whom, professor.
She refused these resources
to interpret the scepters.
I hope they'll
prove useful to you.
I don't like any of this.
It wasn't part of
our arrangement.

We can't let him do that.
MacGyver, it's too

Ok. Fine.
We'll get the ambrose artifacts.
Terrific!
How?
Good question.
Where'd you say

Downstairs in the study.

It does. Why?

We can't go back to London.
Oh, we can't?
No, wycliff studied this stuff.
He probably already knows
where to find the holy Rose.
No, from what I heard,
he was kind of stuck.
Well, he's not
gonna be for long.
The first part of the ambrose
riddle is easy, if you ask me.
[Speaking Latin]
"And journey now
beyond kasarasburgus
To the crossroads of triacriae."
Kasarasburgus.
Also known as Caesar's
camp. Cherbourg.
France?
Yeah, look here. We're here
at weymouth. Here's cherbourg.
It can't be more than 75 miles.
Across the English channel, Zoe!
(Zoe) Look here,
2 miles up the road.
[Exhales]
- Private airstrip.
- Right.
We can charter a
plane, be there in no time.
MacGyver, I can't express to
you enough how important this is.
Ok! Ok!
You don't have to
talk me into anything.
- I don't?
- No.
Because it's quite obvious what we
have to do now is find the holy Rose
that will lead to the temple, so
you can put the artifacts together
And start teaching the world what
it's like to be human again, right?
Right.
Yes! Yes.
[engine starting]
So let's get
Mr. Von leer, they have escaped.
Now what, professor?
Kasarasburgus is in France.
Today it's known as
the city of cherbourg.
Tell mammon to
get the helicopter.
I got the crossroads
figured out.
It's where the 3 sacred
roads of pilgrimage end
at a ruin about 20
miles south of cherbourg.
Right here, just off the coast.
What about the
ritual of the Rose?
That one, I'm stuck.
You know, Zoe,
you're talking about changing a
whole lot of this world as we know it.
I hope you're not too
disappointed if it doesn't happen.
[Helicopter whirring]
That's it.
That's the ruin.
See that ring of rocks?
Yeah, what about 'em?
(MacGyver) As far as I can tell,
They're not
indigenous to this area.
How many petals did ambrose
say were on the holy Rose?
5.
(Zoe) Wait a second.
Ring of rocks. That's it.
"Ring around the Rosie."
It's a mummers' ritual.
"Pocketful of posies"
refers to a cave full of flowers
and "all fall down"
is the grim reaper
bringing an end to
the fertility season.
I got a feeling you're
about to suggest
we go down there and
play "ring around the Rosie."
(Wycliff) My research
indicates the ruin should lie
About 20 miles
south of cherbourg.
What makes you so
sure the holy Rose
is within the circle
of rocks at this ruin?
The history of
that particular ruin.
No one's been able to comprehend
why those 5 stones
were brought there.
They're indigenous to the
southern coast of britain.
And there's a stone sculpture that
carries a puzzling Latin inscription
the French have
studied for years.
It's my belief that it's another
of ambrose's messages.
The final clue, so to speak.
(Zoe) "Pocketful of posies."
"Hush. Hush. Hush."
"We all fall down."
So if we're on the ground,
maybe ambrose wants us to be
looking low for something, huh?
"Perform the ritual of the Rose
And it will be revealed."
MacGyver!
(Zoe) That is the mother
of creatures symbol.
Where's the scepter?
Notches match.
It fits!
I'm getting butterflies.
Here's another one.
Fits again.
The scepters look like they
could work as, uh, pivot points.
MacGyver, look here.
What do you make of this one?
[Rumbling]
[Gasps]
A lock.
My stomach is killing me.
[Exclaiming]
Oh, my god!
The ambrose legend
says the casket of gold
Holds the flower of the goddess.
(MacGyver) That's some flower.
The holy Rose.
We found it, MacGyver!
What was the next step?
Um, "and look
beyond the open petal
"and seek the sacred stone.
"there to find the
message of the goddess
and the key to the temple."
[Air hissing]
How are you doing?
Almost have it.
Take a look here.
Another scepter lock?
Nothing. That's strange.
So is this message.
"Rest Diana's mirror
upon the sacred tree.
"when the garment
of the great goddess
"covers the holy Rose,
the power of the Trinity
Will open the world and
give birth to a new beginning."
ok, the scepters can represent
the power of the Trinity,
and we have the mirror
and the holy Rose.
What would represent the
garment of the great goddess?
It's an ancient
reference to the sun.
The sun?
You're kidding.
No.
He couldn't.
Could he?
[Tittering] What?
This stone, here.
It represents a
sacred tree, right?
Yeah, it's symbolic of Diana's
grove. They're all over Europe.
MacGyver, you're
torturing me. What?
Well, if this is
what I think it is,
Your ambrose was a genius.
And if that cloud would
move, I'd show you why.
Cloud?
What does a cloud
have to do with anything?
[Gasping]
I think these 5 artifacts
together on this stone
Make up an optical pump.
An optical pump?
Yeah.
When the sunlight
hits this mirror,
it concentrates the light into the
opening here on the holy Rose.
- The garment of the goddess.
- Yeah.
Then the light bounces
around the Ruby
and gains some intensity from the
gold surface surrounding the stone.
Then the light comes out here,
it gets pumped through the 3
lenses here on the scepters.
That's the power of the Trinity!
Ambrose invented
an optical pump!
In principle, anyway.
Great!
What is an optical pump?
A laser.
Ambrose invented
an ancient Ruby laser.
And it's brilliant!
We didn't come up with
this principle until the 1960s.
740 years later!
Why did he do it? What's it for?
I think he tells
us why right there.
(Zoe) To give birth
to a new beginning.
And I'd be willing to bet this
wall represents ambrose's world.
Oh, my, you think
that the temple
has something to do
with that mountain?
We'll know in a minute.
The sun's coming out.
It works.
Ambrose invented the laser.
Do regular lasers do that?
No. He must have impregnated
his wall with gunpowder.
MacGyver.
"And give birth to
a new beginning."
(Zoe) Oh, my god!
It's the temple
of the holy Rose.
Ambrose built it, all right.
In miniature.
[Camera clicking]
Look, MacGyver. He did it.
Ambrose collected
the artifacts of peaceful,
Earth-nurturing,
loving societies.
He did it!
(Wycliff) They've found it!
So, now they've located
the temple of the holy Rose,
Are you still opposed
to eliminating them?
I've said it before:
I don't want any part of that.
Very well.
Shima, open the door for
the professor, would you?
He wants to get off.
(Wycliff) No. No!
[Screaming]
Where did the legend
say the grail was kept?
In the center of the
building, under the dome.
[Clicking]
Well, ambrose sure
gave it a nice home.
What do you think?
I think myths and dreams
come from the same place.
But if this grail symbolizes
the highest spiritual potential
of human compassion,
then I think you've got something
really important to talk about.
Thanks, MacGyver.
Thanks for everything.
(Von leer) Excuse me for interrupting
this charming, tender moment.
[Scoffs]
I'm only sorry you won't be able
to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
It is the philosopher's stone.
The red earth.
Bring it here!
You guys are really
sick, you know that?
Your basic, sunk-to-the-bottom,
slime-ball sick!
Zoe!
Don't stir 'em up any
more than they are.
Our quest has finally
ended, Mr. Von leer.
[Gasping] Yes,
yes. Give it to me.
I want to touch it.
We could have never
found the red earth
without your
resources, Mr. Von leer.
(Shima) The brotherhood
of hashishim respects that.
Yes, yes. Yes, I know.
Now, let me have it!
I am sorry,
but you will not be among those
Who drink the
nectar of eternal life.
What?
[Screaming]
[Groans]
[Gun firing]
Mammon!
Kill them!
Shima is mine.
Any ideas?
Yeah, I think so. Come on.
Shima! Give it to me!
Now!
I am dying.
The red earth...
Give it to me!
[Wind blowing]
No!
[Camera beeping]
[Camera clicking]
[Exclaims]
[Grunting]
Come on, let's go.
MacGyver, look.
All right, careful now.
That's far enough!
The red earth, the elixir...
Is gone.
Scattered to the
wind by that fool.
(Von leer) But there could
be a formula with the treasure.
I will find it.
I will take the treasure!
You're dreaming, Von leer.
There is no formula.
Ambrose built a
museum for the future.
Nothing less, nothing more.
Believe what you will.
(Von leer) It'll be the last
thought you'll enjoy in this lifetime.
[Cocking gun]
[Screaming]
[Explosion]
[Rocks clattering]
I have a feeling deep down that
ambrose wanted that cave sealed.
Maybe he thinks the world's not
ready to start turning that corner, huh?
Well, you still have this.
One artifact.
Gotta start somewhere.
That red stuff in here.
What do you think?
It was, uh...
Nope.
No? What, then?
800 years of dust.
What about that cloud moving
in just in the Nick of time?
What do you think about that?
I think someone was on our side.
Yeah. Me, too.
