The first 200 lines.
Nothing here.
Keep looking.
Give it to me.
Spanish?
Portuguese.
50/50?
That must be him.
Certainly has a limp.
They say it was a lion.
9 am and he's heading for the pub,
probably broke his leg tripping while he was intoxicated.
Now, now, Lady Anna, he has a sterling reputation.
A reputation for what?
I've got a plan, take this to the car.
I'll have one as well.
Oh no, Mr. Quatermain, allow me.
A tip.
A drink, ma'am.
I'll have a whiskey on the rocks.
Thank you.
To the queen...
um... to a cold beer and fast women.
Mr. Quatermain, a year ago at this time,
I believe you were at a place called Boomguater,
just North of the TranceVal, you were trading there.
Did you happen to meet a man called Neville?
He's lost.
Sorry about your friend, thanks for the beer.
Sir, do you have no manners?
No.
Mr. Quatermain!
Mr. Quatermain!
Mr. Quatermain, please, listen, he wrote me,
he mentioned that after you sold him some oxen,
you took him to the outskirts of Boomquater.
That was my final correspondence with him,
it's been 16 weeks since I heard from him.
Well, Allan, aren't you going to help him find his pen-pal?
Well...
I don't know him.
Really? I fancied you did.
Sir Henry Curtis.
I really, don't care. Allan...
Mr. Quatermain, But...
You certainly charmed the pants off of him.
Didn't you say, Henry?
There are many ways to win a battle.
You seemed to have had second thoughts, Mr. Quatermain.
Let's do this.
Politics is a dangerous game.
Let's leave politics out of this.
You seem to have the South African National Party
confused with the Nazi Party.
I'm not confused.
The map.
The money.
10,000 pounds.
What's this? This is half a map, where's the rest?
This is the only map, it will get you far enough.
But not to the treasure, this is not the deal.
The lion I killed this morning
weighed considerably more than you.
I'm so hot, is there any water?
There's water over there.
I think I'm dehydrated, I can't bear this African sun.
My money.
My map.
That's the map Neville was talking about to
King Solomon's treasure.
Then that's Neville's map.
Not exactly.
Then that Quatermain knows where Neville is.
Lady Anna, keep still.
Lady Anna!
Quatermain, you're a liar and a thief.
Sorry for the interruption.
No problem
Get back! Just stay back, alright?
I'll shoot.
You can't do it.
Alright, see?
There, we're just going to walk out, alright.
I want back map, Quatermain.
In there.
Come on.
If you're going to shoot at Hartford, don't miss.
Get behind the wagon.
Alright, give it to me.
Run! I'll cover you!
Run!
Get behind the wagon!
You'll be safe here.
Hold on. Hold on Mr. Quatermain,
I've been reading about you for some time.
And believe me, you've gathered some acclaim,
but no matter what transpired here today, we're your friends
Oh friend. I've got a train to catch.
You have to go after him, here.
Well, what about you, Henry?
Don't worry about me, I'll improvise, go on! Come on.
Hi. I wana a ticket to where the gentleman went please.
Thanks.
Is this seat taken?
Yes, it is.
I don't see anyone.
Who was sitting here?
Anyone but you.
I think we got off on the wrong foot.
You're a businessman you came to this town to do business,
Sir Henry and I have a proposition
This is a two hour train ride.
Are you going to shut up, or do I need to send you to the other car?
I don't know why I wasted my time.
Well.
Why don't you sit and think about it, and maybe it will come to you.
Well that was pretty childish, wasn't it?
What do you want from me?
Clearly you need the money, why won't you go on this trip with us?
This has got nothing to do with money.
You're totally out of your depth here.
I will decide when I'm out of my depth.
On expeditions like this, people don't survive.
Are you prepared for that?
Yes.
Good day gentleman.
Stay back.
We have to go, now!
What, now?
Watch your head.
Yuck.
I don't know whether to thank you or slap you.
Why don't you do something later?
Great.
Need a lift?
Sir Henry, you never cease to amaze me.
Hop in.
Settled?
We can wait here. I've organized a carriage.
Can I see it?
I was right. Wasn't I?
This is the map.
This is the map to King Solomon's treasure.
No.
No?
There is no map to King Solomon's treasure.
Then it's a forgery, and you were selling...
No.
This map was indeed penned by Jose Silvestri,
but... the treasure doesn't exist, it's a fantasy, a myth.
Many good men have died in pursuit of storybook riches.
And my brother who went searching...
He is a fool.
Is he? Is he a fool Mr. Quatermain?
It was sent in the last parcel from my brother.
You're a hunter and an expert tracker,
we need your services and we will pay you handsomely.
This isn't about your brother, is it?
Take the treasure, if we find it, it's yours, the whole lot,
if that's what we need to secure your involvement.
Well, for the map, and myself, it will be 30,000.
But you agreed to sell it to that Hartford character for 10,000.
Well, then let's make it 40,000. 20,000 up front, today.
Done.
Mr. Quatermain, um, just to make clear,
if there's anything to make this journey more suitable,
planes, or artillery, consider it done.
Henry has unlimited funds at home.
Where we're going, money has no value.
Freshen up, pack light, we leave in an hour.
Don't we have quarters?
Umbopa, some tea.
Umbopa, please forward this to my son.
I'll be back in 5 weeks time, in the event that I don't return,
I want you to forward this to him as well.
Mr. Quatermain, you are talking nonsense,
you will be able to send it yourself when you come back.
In the event that I don't return.
A bit feminine, don't you think?
He had a wife once.
What happened?
She died a few years back, some sort of fever.
Anna, have some restraint.
This must be his wife.
And his son.
Would you like something to drink?
Sir Henry?
I'm fine. Thank you.
Mrs. Harrisford?
Lady, Harrisford, no thanks.
Thank you.
Put it back.
Right, I'll check on the luggage, shall I?
Remember, if you don't hear from me in 5 weeks time,
I want you to leave this place,
take whatever you desire and go back to your homeland.
No, I prefer to go with you.
No.
You are following the map, I need to go there.
No good will come from this map.
I will be of great help to you Mr. Quatermain.
