00:00Well, this should work for now.
00:21The pump casting is rusting away.
00:25If this pump works at all,
00:27it won't be for long.
00:30Well, it'll have to do.
00:31These people are going to evaporate from this heat
00:33if we don't get them some water.
00:35Now, we think we might be able to draw
00:42some water from this well.
00:43May not be much down there, but it's better than nothing.
00:47If we were to draw water from Lake Nehu,
00:49what would that take?
00:50Lake Nehu?
00:51Yes.
00:54Well, I mean, that's a good 10 miles from here.
00:56You'd have to build an entire irrigation system.
00:59What would something like that cost?
01:04Well, between parts and machinery and labor, you're talking,
01:08well, roughly, a king's ransom.
01:13Shudu, this comes from Kali with her blessing.
01:17Thank you very much.
01:21So, has there been any word from the government?
01:24No.
01:25I am afraid we cannot rely on them.
01:28Our crops are wilted.
01:30We won't be able to plant for next year with the ground this dry.
01:34Well, maybe you should think about moving.
01:36And go where?
01:37Even if we choose to move, we will still miss the next harvest.
01:41Yeah, but your only chance of survival is if you leave.
01:44Not if we can build an irrigation system to draw water from Lake Nehu.
01:50Is that possible?
01:51Well, sure, for a few thousand shillings.
01:57Sheena.
01:58Oh, it's beautiful.
02:20No.
02:21It is the key to the great Zuckerman's treasure.
02:25It's not a legend?
02:26Oh, no.
02:27It's very true.
02:28The gold and jewels of our ancestors hidden generations ago.
02:33But only once every 22 years is it accessible.
02:36And somehow, this skull is the key.
02:40Somehow?
02:41You don't know?
02:42No.
02:43So, the story is so lost in our history, very little remains.
02:51All we know is that the treasure is located somewhere in the sacred Sianaminde region.
02:56There was a map of the exact area hidden in the skull's pedestal.
03:01But it disappeared long ago.
03:08The 22 years comes up tomorrow.
03:11And if this treasure exists, it might be enough to save our village and my people.
03:23We never needed the treasure before.
03:26But now...
03:29I can go there.
03:30I can try to find this for you.
03:32I know it is a lot to ask.
03:34And we will certainly give you a share of the treasure for your efforts.
03:37I don't want your treasure.
03:38I just want to do this for you.
03:41Now, you said the skull was some sort of key.
03:44Yes.
03:47Take it with you.
03:49Our tribe will be forever in your death.
03:57It is gone.
03:58The crystal skull has been stolen.
04:00It is gone.
04:19The crystal skull has been stolen.
04:20It is gone.
04:22The crystal skull has been stolen.
06:57No, those people know what they're doing.
06:59She's too clumsy.
07:00Hey, excuse me, but I am a thief.
07:03How is it you've missed that?
07:05Me steal, me thief.
07:07I'm damn good at it, too, I might add.
07:09Well, apparently not.
07:12Because whoever you are,
07:14you're ours now.
07:15For the moment.
07:18I've been through worse.
07:20Now, you guys untie me right now,
07:23or I will scream.
07:25I mean it.
07:26That's beautiful.
07:36Oh, that's...
07:37You put dirt in my mouth?
07:39There's more where that came from.
07:40Now tell us what you know about the skull.
07:44I'm on a contract, all right?
07:45I didn't steal it for myself.
07:47By whom?
07:47Sorry.
07:48Professional privilege and all that.
07:50No can do.
07:50Okay, um...
07:55Okay.
07:57Her name is Yoka Lanish.
07:59Yoka Lanish, the art collector?
08:01Why would she hire someone to steal?
08:03She's got more money than...
08:06than me.
08:09Is it possible she knows about the treasure?
08:12Treasure?
08:13E.T.'s possible.
08:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, hold on.
08:15What treasure are we talking about?
08:17Yeah, second that question.
08:18Now the treasure of the Zucuma.
08:20The crystal skull is some sort of key.
08:23Yes, but the location is hidden.
08:25The only map was hidden in the skull's pedestal.
08:27Look, I have until tomorrow to find this.
08:30Take her to Rashid.
08:30I'll deal with her tomorrow.
08:32Whoa, wait, wait.
08:33A pedestal made out of ebony
08:35with an elephant carving on the front?
08:39Is that it?
08:40That is the pedestal.
08:42I know exactly where it is.
08:44Tell you what.
08:45You tell Indiana, Jerk, and Tarzana here to back off
08:48and maybe you and I can cut a deal.
08:50Just tell us where it is.
08:52Right.
08:53So that you can take it
08:54and lock me up in some third world clink?
08:56I don't think so.
08:58You want the pedestal?
08:59I'll help you get it.
09:00You let me go.
09:04Deal?
09:04I hope your girl has a light touch.
09:20This place has pressure plates on the floor
09:22and laser sensors on the walls.
09:23Yeah, well, you just worry about your part.
09:26So, you and Jungle Jane
09:29doing the wild thing, so to speak?
09:32What?
09:34Come on, I just met you guys and I can see it.
09:39Okay, ready to go.
09:42Don't leave me hanging out there, okay?
09:44Those aren't toy guns those guys are carrying.
09:46Really?
09:47Well, thanks for the amazing insight.
09:50Which one?
09:50The Zekuma tribe was known for their artistry.
10:10Look at the detail that went into this.
10:15Reminds you of a Bernini, doesn't it?
10:19You see a Bernini, I see a glass skull.
10:23A crystal skull.
10:25With the legend of a treasure.
10:28Do you know anything about that?
10:29Me? No.
10:30I'm a thief, not a pirate.
10:32Digging for buried treasure ain't my thing.
10:35So, you got my money?
10:37Oh, Elena, you don't appreciate the finer things in life.
10:40I do, so I steal money.
10:42So, I hate to keep harping on this whole money thing, but I got a date tonight and I only need a little spending cash.
10:49Oh, too bad.
10:50I could have used the dinner partner.
10:53Maybe some other time.
10:55Hmm?
11:04After you.
11:04Oh!
11:12Sorry about that.
11:43You stay here, and I'll be back with your money.
12:13Here it is.
12:59Secure the ground.
13:01Help me, help!
13:03Now we're in trouble.
13:10This is one of your tricks.
13:11What did I do?
13:12I've been sitting here this whole time.
13:14Probably one of your monkeys peed on the carpet or something, set the whole system off.
13:18Miss Blanche, the skull on the pedestal has been stolen.
13:22Monkeys, they pee, they steal.
13:24Oh, what are you going to do?
13:32Stop them!
13:35Stop them!
13:48You're screwed!
13:49What the hell are you doing?
14:13Hey, here's the car!
14:14Hey, she's got the map!
14:43What are you doing here?
14:52Of course I ate the map.
14:59I'm not an idiot.
14:59If I give it to you, you have no more use for me.
15:06I can find the map.
15:08Hey, I went to a lot of trouble to steal this treasure, and if it weren't for me, you wouldn't
15:12even know it still existed.
15:14What do I get from my trouble?
15:16Goldilocks, you're trying to gut me like a fish.
15:19Make it quick.
15:19We have to leave tomorrow morning.
15:24We don't have time for this.
15:28I'll take her with me.
15:29And while we're at it, I think I deserve a little something for my trouble.
15:36You will get a reward for your efforts.
15:39Mushuru?
15:40She's a thief.
15:41You can't reward her.
15:42What?
15:42Pretty boy.
15:43Big kahuna has spoken.
15:46Back off.
15:48Tomorrow is the day the treasure will be revealed.
15:50We don't have time to negotiate.
15:53Hey, do you mind moving that skull?
15:56It's burning a hole into my head here.
16:00So, we got a deal?
16:13Hey, kid.
16:14What are you doing here?
16:15Don't you know my bad influence on young minds?
16:17I bought you food and water.
16:20So, this whole drought thing can't be too serious if you got water for me.
16:27Aren't you thirsty?
16:29Yeah, but I thought you guys had a water problem.
16:33We do, but you are our guest.
16:36Prisoner.
16:37Even so, you are in our care.
16:40By Zoukoumo law, we offer you all that we can.
16:46Is it enough for you?
16:48Yeah.
16:50Yeah, it's more than enough.
17:05Great! I am really hungry.
17:35I guess I'm back on my diet again.
17:38You know, Jenny Craig says that starving yourself is no way to lose weight.
17:42This is gonna be a long trip.
17:45I need to see how swift the current is.
17:47If you'll get faster, the closer we get to the current.
17:52Get in.
17:54Makes you think I know how to use one of these?
17:56Learn. Get in.
18:05This is hard.
18:16It's stripped.
18:19Unless you wanna do this all day, we're gonna need a new pump.
18:23Well, that could take a while.
18:25What about our pump?
18:27The one on the side of your place?
18:30It's rusty, but I could make it work.
18:33That's a great idea.
18:35I'll be back in a minute.
18:39Mr. Conner, please let me go with you.
18:41Oh, Nico, I'd like to, but...
18:43Please, I've never been in a car before.
18:45It's a truck, actually, and...
18:49Alright, let's go.
18:51So what's the deal?
19:00You live out here in this bug-infested blast furnace.
19:03No access to civilization.
19:05Don't you miss people?
19:07Life? Fun?
19:09What's the story here?
19:10All the story is, is I know plenty of people.
19:13I have lots of fun, and I love my life.
19:16Aren't you the little African debutantes?
19:19Where I come from, there's always something to do.
19:22People to see, places to go.
19:25Same here.
19:27Not exactly.
19:30But I will admit, you guys have it easy here.
19:33Money isn't anything to you.
19:35Where I come from, money is everything.
19:37Yeah, I've heard it.
19:39Buys you happiness.
19:40Tremendous happiness.
19:43Who wants to be a have-not when being a have is so much more fun?
19:46You remind me of someone I know.
19:49The dog-eat-dog world out there.
19:51Which dogs?
19:53Packs usually don't eat their own.
20:03You're not real big on metaphorical analogies, are you?
20:06Yeah, about as slow as a snail in a mud pit.
20:12Start paddling.
20:13Start paddling.
20:26Most stock car racing fans don't like Jeff Gordon.
20:31Because they don't consider him a good old boy.
20:33What is a good old boy?
20:34What is a good old boy?
20:37Well, you kind of got to know the south to understand that one.
20:44Hello.
20:45Hello.
20:46Hello.
21:12What a pretty face.
21:13Huh.
21:16How awful if something happened to it.
21:19How painful.
21:23I know about the map.
21:26I know about the treasure.
21:28I know you're working with Elena.
21:30Where is she?
21:32Elena? Who?
21:33Who?
21:36Oh, oh, oh.
21:37Okay, that'll Elena.
21:39You know, she could be anywhere out there.
21:41That woman's got a mind of her own.
21:42God forbid she should tell me where she's going.
21:48Perhaps we're going about this all wrong.
21:52Let's talk to the boy.
21:55Okay.
21:56Okay, let's make a deal.
21:58I'll tell you whatever you want to know, you let him go.
22:02All right.
22:03He doesn't know anything.
22:04You're not in a position to make deals.
22:08Okay.
22:10She is going after the treasure, yes.
22:12As far as we can figure out, it's somewhere near the top of Mount Zendai.
22:18Mount Zendai?
22:19Yeah, it's about 400 miles south-southwest of here.
22:25Wait.
22:30You still gonna point that gun at me?
22:34Is it only the truth?
22:40Shoot, Cutter.
22:44I'm going to see you in a minute.
22:49Well, it wasn't that hard, was it?
22:54Let's go.
23:07Well, if you beat the coconut, this is as far as we go by canoe.
23:12We're gonna have to walk from here.
23:14Where to?
23:20This way.
23:25You know what I've always wanted?
23:27A jet.
23:29Not just any jet, but a Learjet.
23:31You know, with like blue seats and red carpets and...
23:35my own pilot named Frank.
23:37I feel safe with a pilot named Frank.
23:39Hang on, I got something in my boot.
23:41Here, I can see why a jet would suit you.
23:43Always moving from place to place.
23:45Never having anywhere to call home.
23:46Yeah, well, thieves aren't real big on homes.
23:49You know, that whole barbecue with the neighbors, mow the lawn lifestyle.
23:53Can I ask you something?
23:55Keep it simple.
23:56Real simple.
23:58Why the stealing?
24:00You've gone on and on about the money.
24:02But is that all it's ever really been about?
24:04Oh, the psychology route.
24:05Okay, Dr. Freud.
24:07Um...
24:09First time I ever stole it was food from the supermarket.
24:11My brothers and I lived with a mom who had a habit of forgetting to do things like beat us.
24:16So...
24:18Had to do what I had to do.
24:20So what was it you said before?
24:22Who wants to be a have-not when being a have is so much more fun?
24:27Yet you were a have-not and you hated it.
24:29There you go.
24:30It's not something I would wish on anyone.
24:32And you steal from others so other people can be have-nots.
24:35Uh...
24:39Uh...
25:05Go, go, go, go, go!
25:09Get the boys!
25:22No, no.
25:24You are leverage.
25:27Without you, I'm gonna get to Elena.
25:35Don't move.
25:48Don't speak.
25:49Just listen to me, okay?
25:52When I say go, I want you to...
25:54I want you to roll to your left.
25:57Ready?
25:59Go!
26:05I wish I didn't have to kill it, but it would have struck again.
26:11Yeah, well, if you're expecting a thank you, you're gonna have to wait.
26:14I'm not expecting anything.
26:16All I know is that snake wasn't bothering anyone until you came along.
26:18Oh, give me a break.
26:20You only saved me because you need me.
26:22I'm the only one who knows where the treasure is.
26:24I got the location of the map right up there, so I don't even...
26:27The treasure's located between those two hills.
26:29Probably in a ravine or a cave.
26:32How did you know that?
26:34You told me.
26:35With your compass readings.
26:39When we got in the canoe, you took a reading.
26:43North, northwest.
26:45When we got out of the canoe, you took another reading.
26:47East, northeast.
26:50Put the two lines together.
26:52I've known since we left the river.
27:02You can fire that gun all you want.
27:03Elena's not coming back for me.
27:07I barely even know her.
27:08You risked your life to save her, you and that other woman.
27:11She's probably out there, too.
27:20I bet one of them has an attachment for you.
27:23Now, why would you go to all the trouble for someone you don't know?
27:30Well, because I'm a good guy that way.
27:32You better hope that she does come back.
27:36At sundown, that treasure will be gone for another 22 years.
27:39And I won't need you anymore.
27:50Well, he looks okay.
27:52Now, there's a treasure with our names on it right down that path.
27:55I say we go get it.
27:56No, stay here.
27:58Guard this.
27:59And don't you even think about running off.
28:02Because you know I'll find you.
28:03Five thousand.
28:23Five thousand.
28:26That's what I would pay a man like you.
28:28Pay me to do what?
28:30Everything.
28:34But first, helping me find this treasure.
28:38I don't...
28:41Five thousand isn't very much compared to a treasure.
28:46Ten thousand.
28:46Twenty.
28:47Fifteen.
28:49Is it worth that much to you?
28:51Absolutely.
28:55What could do worse than work for me?
28:57I have a lot to offer.
29:00So, what is it going to take?
29:08Ten miles of irrigation canals.
29:11Plus equipment to keep water flowing into the fields.
29:15Deal?
29:15No.
29:15No.
29:16Let's go.
29:46I'm out of here.
30:08How nice.
30:12Is this a skull?
30:14Very, very nice.
30:27We're screwed, you know.
30:29No skull.
30:30No map.
30:31No woman who ate the map.
30:33These aren't as bad as you think.
30:38Ah, thanks, but now's not the time for snack break.
30:41Open it.
30:43How did that get...
30:53Well, I didn't trust Elena, so I sent it down river.
30:58And you just assumed you'd be able to find it?
31:02Well, everything that goes down the river gets caught in the eddy.
31:06Including coconuts.
31:08Let's go find ourselves a treasure.
31:10Shall we?
31:12What was that, that thing that attacked us?
31:20I don't know.
31:21Some sort of jungle animal?
31:23That was no animal.
31:25We were not ready for it then.
31:26We will be ready for it now.
31:35Stop!
31:36We're gonna go back and get her?
31:37Well, she's safe.
31:38As long as I think they have a chance at the treasure.
31:39We'll keep her alive.
31:40Yeah.
31:41Over here.
31:42This is it.
31:43Okay.
31:44Even if it is, how's the skull the key?
31:45I think I have an idea on that.
31:46Sheena!
31:47Cut her!
31:48You're right.
31:49You did know where this place was.
31:50Listen, they're coming.
31:51Just take this.
31:52Find the treasure.
31:53I'm gonna lead them away from here.
31:54Just get in the cave.
31:55There's no time.
31:56Just take this skull.
31:57How did you do that?
31:58How did you do that?
31:59How did you do that?
32:00You're alive?
32:01Yeah.
32:02Over here.
32:03This is it.
32:04Okay.
32:05Even if it is, how's the skull the key?
32:06I think I have an idea on that.
32:07Sheena!
32:08Cut her!
32:09You're right.
32:10You did know where this place was.
32:11Listen, they're coming.
32:12Take this.
32:13Find the treasure.
32:14I'm gonna lead them away from here.
32:15Just get in the cave.
32:16Don't do that!
32:18I'm the thief.
32:19Come on.
32:40It's empty.
32:41There's no treasure.
32:42Oh, there is.
32:43You gotta remember, we still have it.
32:45Use the skull.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Well, how are we supposed to figure this out?
32:53I have an idea.
33:00Remember when we were back at the village?
33:02Elena complained that the light through the skull had burned her head.
33:05Oh my gosh.
33:06That's it.
33:07That's the clue that I needed.
33:08The 22 years must have something to do with the sun's alignment.
33:20And this wall.
33:21There it is.
33:22There it is.
33:23There it is.
33:25There it is.
33:26That's a clue that I needed.
33:28The 22 years must have something to do with the sun's alignment.
33:32And this wall.
33:40There it is.
33:56There it is.
34:26There it is.
34:43You know, you never did pay me for that job.
34:49That hurt.
34:56Oh no.
35:11Oh no.
35:13Elena! Move out!
35:31It's unstable!
35:34Elena!
35:36It's gonna collapse!
35:37Up!
35:43You all right?
36:12Yeah.
36:14Go.
36:23No!
36:27No!
36:30No!
36:34No!
36:36No!
36:39She won.
36:40Yeah.
36:41She got her treasure.
36:43Let's go.
36:45No!
36:46No!
36:47No!
36:48No!
36:49No!
36:50No!
36:52Oh!
36:53No!
36:54No!
36:55No!
36:56Oh, my God.
37:26I called Kowali.
37:29He said he could have a crew working on the irrigation canal next weekend.
37:34Mendelsohn, proud of you.
37:38Well, you help these people out, you feel good about that.
37:46All right, there's an extra 50 in it for you this week.
37:51I'm a happy man.
37:56Well, you got a point about helping out your fellow man, but given the choice, I'd take the fat payday.
38:04Well, it's a start.
38:07Your reward, as promised.
38:13Thank all of you for this.
38:15You have saved our lives.
38:17Look at this.
38:18This is amazing.
38:20I'm set.
38:21I am...
38:21You know, I can't carry all this here.
38:29But it is all yours.
38:31Yeah, but...
38:34Buy something for the kids.
38:36My treat.
38:37Build them a school or a library or something.
38:40May the Great Protector bless you for all the days of your life.
38:45Well, what do you know?
38:59Guess a leopard can change its spots.
39:02Oh, that's, uh...
39:09That's exciting.
39:11I got it.
39:12Yeah.
39:21Hey.
39:22So how you feeling?
39:23You know, surprisingly good.
39:28It's like when I was able to help my brothers, I didn't think about the fact that I was stealing.
39:32Just that I could help them.
39:36Strange, eh?
39:38No.
39:40Not really.
39:41It's just not familiar to you.
39:45Shudo wanted to, uh, give you these.
39:48He said he's got more than enough to take care of the children.
39:50Is something wrong?
39:56No.
39:57Yeah.
39:58Um...
39:59I lied.
40:02When I said that thieves aren't big on homes, the truth is that we're jealous.
40:08I'm jealous of these people.
40:10Not because of the treasure or the skull, but...
40:14Because they have a home.
40:18Wall-to-wall mud and all the flies you could eat, but...
40:20A place to call home.
40:24Well, everybody needs a place to call home.
40:28Yeah.
40:29Yeah, you're right.
40:32Maybe I should find one.
40:33Heh.
40:36And I do need a garage.
40:38Right?
40:39A three-car garage.
40:40And a jacuzzi would be really nice.
40:50But the truth is that you've already given me more than I ever wanted.
40:58Thanks.
40:59Alina!
41:17Cutter's, uh...
41:17Where's the habit?
41:23Tell him to keep it in his front pocket.
41:24You know, I think deep down she's really a nice...
41:37Hey...
41:41That dirty...
41:43That dirty...
41:44Daughter of mine.
41:49No.
41:52Ha!
41:53No.
41:53No, not.
41:58That dirty...
41:59That just to stop.
42:00No.
