The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (1977–1979): Season 2, Episode 3 - The Mystery of King Tut's Tomb - full transcript

FRANK: Well, you feel
like you're in Egypt?

Fascinating.

They say there are treasures
that haven't even been found yet.

The statue was stolen.
It was what?

I think it's made of gold.

You know what the police do to
American students caught with contraband?

Your passports
are confiscated.

The way you con a
conman is to out con him.

You be Redford. I'll be
Newman and smile a lot.

Get back.
Back from the door.

MOUSTAPHA:
Don't let them get away.



NARRATOR:
Tonight on the Hardy Boys,

The Mystery
of King Tut's Tomb.

FRANK: Hey, look.
The Cheops Pyramid.

480 feet high.

Wow! They're absolutely
massive. Can you believe it?

Fascinating.

Well, you feel like
you're in Egypt?

Aren't you glad you came
out of your way? Definitely.

I wonder if they were really
built by people from outer space

a few thousand years ago.

You know, there are chambers
inside they haven't even discovered.

Really?

They say there are treasures
that haven't even been found yet.

Hmm.



Maybe we'll find a few.

I hope you realize
all this secrecy

is not a question of trust,
Miss Halstead.

Wow.

It's just that we
must be very cautious.

If the wrong individuals
were to find our discovery,

the consequences would be
almost too horrible to imagine.

The grave robbers would
descend like jackals.

I'm probably one of the first
Westerners to lay eyes on it.

The very first.

How did you
discover it?

If it hadn't been for a slightly
misplaced terrorist bomb,

we never would have.

It seems that
Allah has smiled on us.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Oh! It's wonderful.

Is that the Pharaoh's
tomb behind that wall?

We have every reason
to believe so.

This is such a slow,
painstaking process.

As serious men of science,
it is our duty to see that

every artifact is well
preserved before going on.

But can't you
get any help?

What about the government?

The government?

That is the very reason we
must take the safety precautions.

If the government
were to hear

one word about
our discovery,

just one word,
they would be down here

with their jackhammers and
bulldozers in a matter of hours.

And all of it to line the
pocketbooks of petty officials

to build their senseless
national arsenal.

But you're only selling one
artifact, to finance the digging.

Exactly. The Osiris.

Can I see it now?

Of course.

It's beautiful.
Can I pick it up?

Yes, my dear.

Oh.

Oh, Mr. Johan son,
he's gonna be just thrilled.

Johan son?

Olvid Johan son of Chicago?

Uh-huh.

I must admit to you,

I didn't know you were in the
employ of such a distinguished dealer.

Mr. Johan son is
respected the world over.

I'm afraid we will have to have it
authenticated. Company policy.

I insist on it.

If we leave right now,

we ought to be
in Kenya on schedule

and see Dad early
Tuesday morning.

How come I'm
carrying all this stuff?

I'm carrying
the bank draft for Dad.

It's a tough job in a
place like this, you know?

There are
pickpockets all over.

I thought that's why we got a bank
draft, so we wouldn't need cash.

Well, you never can
be too careful, Joe.

$10,000 is a lot of money.

HELENE: Ready to
go, Mr. Moustapha?

I can't wait to tell
Mr. Johan son the good news.

This certainly will
enhance his collection.

Yes, but let me put
the idol back in its case.

I will place a call to him as
soon as I get back to the hotel.

That is after
we stop at the bank.

I have a certified check
drawn and ready for you.

Just a moment. Wait!

Miss Halstead,
let me have it, please.

Miss Halstead,
it is dangerous here.

Miss Halstead, the
transaction is not complete yet.

This is a very dangerous
place. Anything can happen.

Let me have the idol,
please.

Don't worry,
Mr. Moustapha.

I can't wait for
Mr. Johan son to see it.

It could mean
a promotion for me.

Just a moment.

Miss Halstead, Miss
Halstead, I told you to wait.

FRANK: Hey, she's beautiful.

Come on, Frank. This is no time to be
to looking at American tourists. Let's go.

Miss Halstead,
Miss Halstead!

My purse!

My bag!
MOUSTAPHA: Stop him!

FRANK: Get that thief!
Grab him! He stole her purse!

HELENE: My purse.

Out of my way!

JOE: Hey,
those are my packages.

Stop, would you stop it?
Police!

What... How...

MOUSTAPHA: Stop him! Stop!

Catch that thief!

FRANK: Hey, stop! Stop!
Stop! Stop that thief!

Grab him! Stop him!
Somebody stop him.

Miss Halstead!

FRANK: Stop him!

Stop that thief!

I'll catch you later.

Miss Halstead.

MOUSTAPHA: Miss Halstead.

Excuse me. I think
this belongs to you.

Miss Halstead.

No, it's not mine.

What do you mean,
it's not yours?

I saw the kid snatch it.

I think
you're mistaken.

I saw it.

MOUSTAPHA: Miss Halstead.

Here.
I can't explain now.

Meet me at my hotel
at 8:00, okay?

Mr. Moustapha,
did you get my purse back?

No, I didn't.

Don't worry. There are
more where that came from.

I am just grateful
that you were not harmed.

I'll get the statue back.

What are you doing?

You go chasing after some
girl, you leave me here all alone,

and now these thieves
have stolen all our supplies.

She wouldn't take it.
What?

She refused to take it.

Maybe she thought
it looked better on you.

First she denied
it was hers,

then she asked me to meet
her tonight to give it back to her.

Well, good, she can
pay us for all this stuff.

Joe, she was
afraid of something.

Frank,
you don't understand.

Our stuff has been stolen.
It's gone.

Gone!

Come on.
Let's get out of here.

JOE: Anyway,
we can't wait until tonight.

We're headed for
Kenya, remember?

900 miles of desert?

I think we ought to take that back
and leave it with the desk clerk.

Joe, we don't
even know her name.

Who are we
gonna say it's for?

Check and see if there's a
driver's license or a passport

or something that
would tell us who she is.

I just don't feel right
going through her purse.

Frank, we don't
know what's in there.

She could have stuck you with a
bagful of drugs for all you know.

Well?

There's nothing
much in here.

Just this.

What is it?

It's a statue. What do
you think it's made of?

I think it's made of gold.

Come on, Frank. It can't be made
of gold, it would be worth a fortune.

Joe, we're sitting
with a stolen artifact.

You know what the police do to
American students caught with contraband?

Yeah, it's years in jail
before you even come to trial.

Wonderful.

We're gonna go back to the hotel
and unload this purse right now.

214. Right here.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Frank, why don't
you try the key?

You want to see
what's inside, don't you?

What are you doing?

Chambermaid.

She may be
coming to this room.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

She's gone. Let's go.

Joe, I think
we should wait.

Why?

Well, she's obviously
in some kind of trouble.

Well,
she's an American girl.

She's awfully pretty.

You've got a point.

What are we gonna do
for the next five hours?

I guess we make
ourselves comfortable.

Want to order up
some room service?

No, I don't think
that's a good idea.

If you want to go out and get
something, I'll stay in here and wait.

No, no.

(CREAKING)

Frank.
Yeah?

I think we ought to
take a look around the room

to see if we can find
some identification.

Al right.

That's the guy
who stole the purse.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

RASHID: Police!

Why is there always a cop
around when you don't need one?

RASHID: Open immediately.

Hey, stop, come back.

Lieutenant Rashid.

We didn't call the police.

You're alone?

No, I'm with my brother.

JOE: Hi there.

(EXCLAIMS)

Yours?

Well, then this cannot
possibly be your room, can it?

No, but...
Whose is it?

I mean, who is she?

Where is she?

Hmm.

I believe that the chambermaid's
first instincts were correct.

Sergeant, arrest them.

Wait a minute,
arrest us for what?

Breaking and entering.

We didn't break in.

We have a key.
Show him, Frank.

I hope you can
explain where you got it.

We can.
Tell him, Frank.

Well, this girl was in the bazaar
and somebody snatched her purse.

And he got it
back for her.

Why didn't you return
it in the market place?

Because she didn't want it.

She asked us to meet her
here and gave us the key.

Look, I know it all
sounds kind of odd, but...

Who is this very
friendly young lady?

I didn't get her name.

Marvelous.

But of course, you were
going to wait for her return.

That's right. And if you
wait, I'm sure she'll...

No, no, no, no, no.
The sergeant will wait.

You gentlemen and I will go
down to police headquarters,

where you will tell me
a more plausible story.

Toufik.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Moustapha.
We've got a problem.

I have another buyer
with a lot of money.

The statue was stolen.
It was what?

Stolen.

A little street urchin snatched
it, right out of her hands.

Street urchin?

You mean, you allowed some
little street urchin to lift

the most precious
asset we possess?

Relax, don't worry.
I've put the word out already.

The little urchin will wish he
was dead. I'll have it back soon.

How soon?

I have another buyer
waiting right now.

He wants to see it.

I'll have it back by 5:00.

Be sure that you do.

Your passports show that you
arrived in Egypt only this morning.

Yeah, we just
got off the boat.

And so much trouble.

Destination?

Kenya. Our father
is meeting us there.

Look, if you'll just
give us our passports...

Why were you in
Miss Halstead's room?

She's a friend of ours.

Can we go?

Until Miss Halstead reappears
and verifies this friendship,

your passports
are confiscated.

Come on.

A moment.

Please do not
forget your purse.

I'm worried about
this young woman.

Let's see if these gentlemen
can lead us to the bottom of it.

Doesn't it strike you a little odd
that they gave this thing back to us?

Yeah.
As a matter of fact it does.

A chambermaid
reports a break-in

and the Chief of Police
answers the call personally.

He interrogates down
at the police station

and then lets us go along
with a priceless artifact.

I don't mean to put too
fine a point on it, Frank,

but I think we're up
to our necks in trouble.

Bait. We're being used
as some kind of bait.

How does that
make you feel?

Loved.

Well, I think the first
thing we should do is

find our mysterious
young lady friend.

Great. How?

With this.

And this.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Mr. Abdul,
you heard what happened.

Yes.

Did Mr. Moustapha find
the urchin with my bag?

Not yet.

Oh, I spoke to
Mr. Johan son in Chicago.

A secret chamber
discovered in King Tut's tomb

is the find
of the century.

He wants one
of the idols.

I just wanted to
tell Mr. Moustapha

that I am still empowered
to buy the artifact

if he can get it back.

Or maybe you would
sell me one of the others.

Joe, there she is.

If you think we can do
business, I'll be at my hotel.

Wait, I am expecting
Mr. Moustapha at any moment.

Oh, I can't stay now.
But I'll be back later.

Well, hello. How are you?
Are you enjoying yourselves?

What are you doing here?

What's going on?
How did you find me?

You're asking us
what's going on? Look...

Who is this? How many
more have you told?

Wait a minute. Look, why
don't you do the talking?

Why don't you tell us
who you are

and what kind of
trouble you're in.

Trouble?
I'm not in any trouble.

This place is the best!

I just love it,
it's really my favorite.

Keep the purse under the
table. I don't want it to be seen.

She's totally spaced out.

Yes, I've heard
the food's very good.

I'm really
looking forward to it.

I am going to count to
five. Then I am out that door,

I'm gonna grab the nearest cop.
Then we're gonna go downtown

and maybe they'll give
us back our passports.

Passports.
They kept your passports?

I've got to go.

You do, and I'll break
every tooth in your mouth.

Oh, wonderful!

Look, you're gonna stay here
and tell us what we want to know

or we're not gonna
give you the statue back.

You mean
you've still got it?

You mean the police picked you
up and let you keep the statue?

That doesn't make any
sense. That's what we thought.

We're not getting
anywhere. Let's go.

Please.

Please.
Just give me a chance.

I know I've really
messed things up.

I'm sorry I got you
involved in this.

That makes three of us.
Now how do we get uninvolved?

I don't know.

Let's go talk to the cops.

No, wait, Joe. Let's
give her one more chance.

Look. We know how people can get
in trouble in some of these countries.

It's obvious you've mixed up
with some sort of contraband.

Now how did it happen?
Were you forced into it?

Are you working with
someone else? What?

No. No, please give
me my purse. No, don't.

Dinner. Meet me for dinner
at my hotel later, okay?

That sounds wonderful,
but no deal.

We've got to
get out of here.

She's nuts.
She's totally nuts.

Don't you ever speak
to me like that again.

I've never heard anything
so insulting in all my life.

Animal.

Let that lady go.
Come on.

Now listen here.
Don't pick on those kids.

Whatever you think, Pinky!

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

Come on, outside, outside!

(WHOOPING)

She's got the purse.

FRANK: Joe, she's leaving
with the purse!

She must have slipped out!
Come on, through the back door.

Hello, Miss Halstead.
Hello.

Oh, I see you've
recovered your purse. Yes.

We don't want the idol to fall
into the hands of the police, do we?

No.

Where is it?

It's not in there?

It was in there.

That...

That American...
He gave it back to me.

Someone must have
stolen it again.

You're going to tell me what
you have done with that idol.

Why do I get the feeling we were
lucky to get out of there in one piece?

First she asks for the
purse, then she refuses it,

then she becomes Mr. Nice Guy
and starts to explain,

then she starts a riot
and takes the purse.

She's not playing
with a full deck.

She's frightened.

There's something
going on here.

What?

I know why she didn't
want that purse.

If she was still here,

don't you think the Lieutenant
would have found her?

Well, at least
we're narrowing it down.

Yes? What do you want?

We're looking for Helene.
Who?

Helene Halstead.
I never heard of her.

This is her room.

It very well might have been,
but it's not any longer. It's mine.

You friend must have checked
out. Now, if you'll excuse me...

Actually, this looks
lot like her luggage.

"H-H-"

Helene Halstead.

Now I doubt very much she'd have
checked out without her luggage.

There's nobody here but me.

You know, you two
are really something!

So are you.

That street urchin
disguise was pretty good.

But most street urchins don't
wear that kind of perfume.

You stole that
purse for Helene.

Now, look, if you two don't
get out of here right now,

I'm going to
call the front desk.

Why not cut out the
middle man? Call the police.

Ask for Lieutenant Rashid.
He's in charge of smuggling.

Arms, currency, drugs.
What was the other one, Joe?

Artifacts, I think.

Yeah, antiquities.
You know, like Osiris.

It's against the law to
smuggle things out of Egypt.

They'll push you
in jail for it.

Oh, it's grim.

You know, I don't even know
what you two are talking about.

Listen, we're just trying to give your
friend Helene the benefit of the doubt,

but you've got
to level with us.

All right.
What's in it for you two?

Look, if we don't find Helene,
we don't get out of Egypt.

So why don't you
tell us about that idol.

We never planned to
take it out of the country.

We didn't!

Oh, it's useless.
You'll never understand.

If someone would
bother to explain it to us,

maybe we would understand.

Now, why don't you try?

The whole thing's a con.
It's a swindle.

Three months ago,

they'd taken everything
from Helene's parents.

I mean, her father
had a heart attack,

and he can't
even teach any longer.

Don't you see, we had to
at least try to get it back.

Sounds like a pretty
dangerous operation.

They'd lost everything!

What were you going to do
when you did get the idol?

Ransom it back
to them for the money

they had swindled
from Helene's parents.

A very dangerous
operation.

She was desperate. And
she's a very determined girl.

Who are these people?
How is the con worked?

Moustapha.

He had sold the idol
to Helene's parents,

then switched it
for a lead fake.

He met them at the
American disco, The Grammy,

that's where
they operate out of.

There's a man named
Abdul who's behind it all.

He owns the place. He's in
partnership with them or something.

Helene just posed
as another chump,

but this time
we beat them!

You mean, Helene
had it authenticated

and you snatched it before
Moustapha could make the switch.

Exactly.

Until your friend here, the hero decided
to chase me all through the bazaar.

Wait a minute.
We're here to help you.

Where is Helene now?

She was out looking
for you two. To find the idol.

Yeah, well, she found
us at the Grammy disco.

She has the idol.

I don't understand.
She should be back by now.

(PHONE RINGING)

Helene!

Good evening.

I'm calling
for Miss Halstead.

You're her
traveling companion?

Yes, this is Wendy Bonner.

Splendid.
Moustapha.

You see, I have
your friend here.

A prisoner, I'm afraid.

Or rather as a hostage,

until my property
is returned to me.

I don't have it.

I'll give you
exactly one hour.

I don't even know
where to look.

At which time
I will call you again.

If you are not ready
to bring it to me,

you will have the opportunity to
hear Miss Halstead scream in pain.

All right.
Wait, I'll get it.

But if anything should happen
to Helene, I'm warning you...

What are you staring at?
What are you gonna do?

You agreed
to turn it over.

He threatened her life.
What else could I do?

If Moustapha has Helene,

then why doesn't
he have the idol?

I don't know. I'm
telling you, I don't know.

Maybe she ditched it before
Moustapha grabbed her.

We'll find it.

Please. Please
hurry. Please find her.

Don't worry, we will.

What do you think,
the disco?

I hope so. If she got
out of there with it,

we'll never know
where she put it.

Unless she tells them.

Between screams.

We were sitting here.

The big guy grabbed us and
threw us out into the group over here.

Let's see,
you were over here.

I just remember being
down over here somewhere.

I looked up and I
saw her grab the purse

and she started out,
but there's no way out...

Figures.

Come on.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

What took you so long?

No!
Did he call yet?

Well, what happened?

Where was it?

Abdul's discotheque.
In the ladies room.

She hid it in
the paper towel container.

What do you mean?
What's going on here?

Look, it's the fake. It's
not even gold. It's lead.

Wait a minute, she stole it
from us. We had the real one.

Unless somebody switched them

between the time that she
stashed it and we found it.

Or somebody
else is involved.

Somebody
we don't know about.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hey, hold on,
it might be Moustapha.

I have to answer it.

Why? Look, think, he's not
gonna fall for the lead fake.

What are you going to tell him, you
couldn't find it? He won't believe that.

Don't you see?
He might hurt her.

No, he won't. Not until
he works all this out.

He needs Helene to use
in exchange for the idol.

(PHONE RINGING)

He'll wait.

(PHONE STOPS RINGING)

Then he'll call
again and again.

And sooner or later I'll have to
answer. And then what'll I say?

You don't say anything.

Don't you think I should
at least call the police?

No, I don't. Don't call
anyone, just sit tight and wait.

JOE: A secret passage
into King Tut's tomb.

It's so ridiculous,
it's brilliant.

FRANK: Especially now, with all the
interest in America in King Tut's treasure.

It's great stuff.

Moustapha's got a pretty
good con game going here.

Ripping off rich
American tourists.

You remember The Sting?
Sure.

The way you con a
conman is to out con him.

Moustapha's looking for fat pigeons.
Well, we're gonna give him one.

Two.

By the time
we finish with him,

he's going to be desperate
to take us into those tunnels

wherever they are.
And right to Helene.

Can I be Redford?

It won't be easy,
but who'll know in Egypt.

(MAN PRAYING)

I think we're crazy, to have
cashed Dad's $10,000 note.

Don't count that out here.

Come on, Joe. A
girl's life is in danger.

These guys
are professionals.

We've got to make them
believe every word we say.

We're not gonna lose it and
besides, it's for a good cause.

Okay. In that case,
you be Redford.

I'll be Newman
and smile a lot.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

We've got to talk to you.

Oh, the young men
responsible for the riot.

It's important.

I'm afraid I don't have time.
I'm very busy.

It concerns an American
girl and a statue she has.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

What girl?
What statue?

We don't have a lot of
time. We have to be blunt.

We didn't just happen
to be in here last night.

Any more than we happened
to be in the bazaar yesterday

when the young girl's
purse was stolen.

We were following her,
and you.

Sit down.

You pique my curiosity.
Tell me more.

Why were you following us?

We knew the girl was
carrying the Osiris in her purse.

Solid gold. I mean, solid.
It's got to be worth $10,000.

That's nothing compared to the
other things she may have found.

We're talking
about a fortune.

A secret I would
not have thought

such a beautiful woman
would have shared with anyone.

We hit it off.

She talks a lot
when she gets excited.

She's in love with him.

It's no time
for false modesty.

I know what
she said to him

may seem fantastic to you,
unbelievable.

But we think
it's the truth.

Go on, go on,
I'm fascinated.

Helene has been shown
one of the inner chambers

of one of the great pyramids.
The treasure chamber.

Hard to believe.

The chamber is full of the same
golden statues she's been carrying.

We want some
of that treasure.

You know, it is highly illegal to
remove such items from the country.

There must be ways.

Don't you think you take a
chance telling me these things?

We came to you because

you're the one who let
Helene in on this deal.

She told you that?
Not exactly.

As we said,
we've been following her.

We put it together.

We figured if she didn't
let us in on the deal,

we'd come
directly to you.

I am afraid your imagination
has gotten the best of you.

Money means
nothing to us.

What my brother means is that

we've always had
whatever we wanted.

As a result, our father doesn't
have a lot of respect for us.

This is really a chance for
us to prove ourselves here.

I mean, a few hundred thousand
dollars’ worth of artifacts here,

will be worth
millions back home.

A few hundred thousand?

Our father
collects artifacts.

He has a collection of pre-Columbian
statues that you wouldn't believe.

We want to prove to him that we're
more than just globetrotting playboys.

If we could just get a little
piece of that treasure...

And what exactly do
you expect me to do?

We tried to
deal with the girl,

you saw what happened.
She ran out on us.

If we could
just get together

with those people
doing the excavations,

we could outbid the girl and
may get her to work with us.

Why do you need her
in the deal at all?

Don't tell me
you are in love as well.

We're talking
about millions.

The girl has
worked with a dealer.

She knows the
value of these statues.

We don't know
what they're worth.

No.

You overestimate
my influence.

You'd be well paid.

One, two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine,

ten thousand dollars.
Consider it a retainer.

You get us into the pyramid and get
the girl to share the treasure with us.

JOE: Uh-huh.

Let's say half now.

You get the other half
when you deliver.

If you can deliver.

(SIGHS) Do you think
we pulled it off?

If we didn't, we're
walking into the lion's den.

We've been there before.

Not with these lions.

There's a big
desert out here, Frank.

We could find ourselves
dropped right in the middle of it.

Maybe we should have
gone to Lieutenant Rashid.

And endangered Helene's life?

No, this one we've
got to do on our own.

The suckers were
throwing this money around

like it was small change.

No. You get
your share later on.

They're both loaded.

Believe me, they're the
biggest marks we've ever had.

But the girl...

What do I care
about the girl?

That statue she's got
is worth $10,000,

and I'm telling you we've got a
chance at a couple of hundred thousand.

What if she
won't cooperate?

She will.

Maybe they didn't buy it.

I think they did.

MOUSTAPHA:
Please get in, gentlemen.

This is the most exciting
opportunity we've ever had.

How far is it?
Not far.

But the exact location must remain a
well-guarded secret for obvious reasons.

If you wouldn't mind.

After all,
this is King Tut's tomb.

RASHID: So,

having finally deduced
what all this is about,

you take it on yourselves
to do my work for me.

We had no choice.

Moustapha could harm Helene.

And might yet.

Oh, please, please help
me. They're holding her.

They took her to some place
where the idol had been discovered.

A tomb?
Yes, underground.

She was blindfolded though.

Underground. Toufik!

(WHISTLES)

Very nice.

Where are we,
in the pyramid?

There are many pyramids.

Few, however,
have treasure like this.

How much you want
for the whole lot?

The lot?

Yeah, how much you
want for all this stuff?

450,000 piasters.

How much is that
in real money?

$300,000.

We were thinking
more of $200,000.

You have that much with you?

You crazy? You think we
carry it around with us?

Which brings us to the girl.

How do we know that this stuff
wasn't made in Hong Kong last month.

You have my word as
a respected archeologist.

Come on. Where's
our friend, the expert?

That was our deal.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

What are you gonna do?

Your friend Miss Bonner
still doesn't answer her phone.

Something must've
happened to her.

Too bad for you.

Because now I
must take action.

But I told you
where I hid the idol.

Yes, the discotheque.

A wild goose chase.

Well, somebody
must have found it.

Which means, Miss Halstead, that now
you have nothing to trade for your life.

However,

I am a very reasonable man.

There might just
be a way out for you.

If you're interested.

What do you
want me to do?

Gentlemen, your expert.

Now.

Get back.
Back from the door. Easy.

Stay back.
Stay back.

Don't try anything.

Stay where you are.

Give me the flashlight.

MOUSTAPHA: You'll never
find your way out of here.

After them, you fool!

Go on, go on!

Move,
they're getting away.

Move, move!

This way.

It's locked.

There's gotta be
a way out of here.

They'd have had to carry
King Tut for miles in here.

Come on!

We're heading back
towards town.

Somewhere there's got to be
an easy access to these tunnels.

It can't be too far from
that phony pyramid room.

After them, move.
Move faster! Faster.

Come on!

Go on! Go on, move!
They're getting away.

Move! Move! Don't let them get
away, you fool! Come on, move!

After them, move!

I can stop over there.

That way, come on!

This way.

Did you hear that? Yeah,
they're right behind us.

Music, I hear music.
I can hear it.

I think we just found our
easy access to these caverns.

Up the stairs, quick!

Up there!

Look out!

Go!

Joe.

Up this way.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Now what?

What we need now is
some support. I got an idea.

How about a
song from Texas?

(WHOOPING) Yeah!

(WHOOPING)

What are you doing?
There's no time for music.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Did I hear someone make a
request for a song from Texas?

Yeah. All right.

Yeah, I heard that.
Yeah, I heard that.

Let's hear it for Texas.

Texas, what a place.

A song for Texas.

The stars at night
Are big and bright

Deep in the heart of Texas

The prairie sky
Is wide and high

Deep in the heart of Texas

The sage in bloom
Is like perfume

Deep in the heart of Texas

How many songs
from Texas do you know?

This is it.
Great.

All right, hold it.

You know, I don't even know why I'm
singing that song. I don't even like Texas.

As a matter of fact,
I think Texas

is probably one of the most
boring states in the Union.

Is that a fact?

Yeah, it's a fact.

The prairies are dry and the women
are as ugly as the cities they come from.

Now you better
take that back, boy.

Hey, shove off.

I don't think
he meant all that.

Speaking of ugly women...

Kill him.

We really
appreciate your help.

This is very kind of you.

Police, release them.

Arrest him and him.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Lieutenant,
your timing is perfect.

Thank you.

Lieutenant, how did you
know where to find us?

We'd suspected
Abdul for some time.

Then when we heard from Wendy that they
were using tunnels as part of their scheme,

I remembered the passages
under the disco.

An old part of the drainage
system no longer in use.

JOE: Those things
sure get around.

Mmm-hmm,
even we have a shelf full.

This, however,
is the real one.

You switched them
when we were here before.

No, no, no, no. I merely
placed it in protective custody

in order to establish
its proper ownership.

My father paid a
lot of money for that.

Yes. Unfortunately he
paid it to the wrong person.

And even Moustapha's
claim is not valid.

The idol therefore becomes the
property of the Egyptian people.

You took too much risk.

You should have
come to us first.

If, however, you wish to
file a claim for the reward,

please fill in this form.

I think you deserve that much.

Thank you.

Lieutenant.
Hmm?

I think you have something
that belongs to us.

I will see to it that you get the money
back that you gave to Moustapha.

And, oh, yes,
your passports.

I am returning them to you,

with the request
and it's just a request,

that you leave
Egypt at once.

Hmm?

Not before the four of us
do a little sightseeing.

Right.

Helene?

Right.

And may Allah
smile upon you.

At this point, I think we can
use all the help we can get.

(GUITAR PLAYING)

This is where we came in,
isn't it?

You know,
I'm kind of disappointed

that King Tut's treasure
turned out to be a phony.

Hey, it's about as close we're ever
going to get to King Tut's treasure.

What are you
thinking about?

I'm thinking that Helene and
Wendy are on a plane for Chicago

and we're about to travel hundreds
of miles on a sunburned desert.

They have got a reward

and all we have got is enough gas
and water to get us to the next town.

Where did we go wrong?

What's there in Chicago?

It's cold, it's congested,
the pressures of city life.

We're on our way to Kenya,

the romance
of the African bush.

Right.

What could possibly
go wrong there?
