"What is a princess to call" "Her new master but a king?" "Your prisoner I may be." "But not your slave." "Prisoner or slave," "You will pose for my statue of athena." "A mere mortal posing for such a statue" "Is an offense to the gods." "Even one such as you" "Knows that, minalysius." "Disobedience means death." "And still you refuse me?" "By your hand or the hand of zeus," "It matters not." "No." "I will die first." "[speaking greek]" "Until I remove this necklace," "You will happily sit for my statue." "I will." "Happily."

"I might as well just hand over my keys" "To that crooked shop." "Hold on, all alright?" "I just started here." "My car's in hock." "I've got a brother to support." "And if you think this is overreacting," "You ain't seen nothing." "Listen." "Sydney's my friend." "There's got to be another explanation." "Such as?" "Such as..." "She's working undercover" "To recover a relic." "Would she do that without telling you?" "Maybe she's not yet able" "To disclose her plans." "I'm not holding my breath." "She seemed pretty happy to be taking off" "With her new friend, carson." "Listen, that woman represents everything" "That sydney hates." "And if she's not undercover," "Then I'm going to have to make her see sense." "Yeah, now you're talking." "Did she mention" "The relic she was after?" "Neither of them did." "Karen, there has to be another way." "We have to find out what" "She was doing on here." "By scanning the dates and times" "On the directory sydney accessed." "There." "She was pulling up everything" "We have on greece." "Pulling it up and wiping it off." "Just look at the size of those directories" "Zero." "Just like my next paycheque."

"I've made it my life's work" "To collect them." "What I couldn't find, I'd buy." "What I couldn't buy, I'd steal." "But you have so many." "Why do you want more?" "Only one more, sydney." "It's the statue of athena." "Why?" "I intend to resurrect the goddess." "I know how." "Bring the statue to life?" "It's all there" "In king minalysius' texts." "Ancient spells to summon up athena." "He tried to harness the goddess of war." "Where he failed, I shall succeed." "You see, the necklace" "Has power over only one." "But with athena by my side," "Entire nations will fall to my feet."

"He was known as the terror of the hellespont" "Until he built himself a statue of athena," "The goddess of war," "And incurred the wrath of zeus." "(karen:)why would syd be erasing files on him?" "I'm not sure." "Wait, wait, wait, what was that?" "Go back." "That?" "You recognize it?" "(karen:)it's the necklace syd was wearing." "Is that image from one" "Of the files that was erased?" "Yeah." "(carson:)this is where I first uncovered" "The walls of minalysius' palace." "It took me ten years." "God, it must have been magnificent." "I've input all your information," "Along with what I took from my files," "Into this computer program." "It's building us a 3-d image" "Of what the city looked like back then." "(carson:)that's minalysius' palace?" "According to the scrolls you recovered from it," "The crypt should lie thirty cubits west" "From the city's main gate." "By tomorrow morning," "The program should have developed" "A detailed map showing us" "Exactly where that is." "I knew you were the perfect choice." "[rumbling]" "It says here that the necklace" "Was captured by king minalysius" "During the hellenic wars." "So how did it wind up around syd's neck?" "I don't know." "Maybe carson's a rival" "Relic hunter like you said." "Or a thief." "Anshe's seducing her with jewellery." "Sydney's not seduceable." "Trust me." "No woman can resist" "A big honkin' necklace like that." "Trust me." "Sydney could." "That necklace is the key." "It says here that according" "To some obscure writings by homer," "The necklace reputably" "Had magical properties." "Magical how?" "Well, the wearer can be controlled by it." "As crazy as that sounds," "It could explain sydney's behaviour." "Yeah." "(karen:)does it say anywhere how we deprogram it?" "No, of course not." "You know, this is kidnapping." "We should call the greek police." "And say what?" "There's a woman using" "A mythological necklace" "Controlling sydney?" "You know, we don't even know if" "This is what's going on." "We have to find her and..." "We'd have to find her and take it off." "Yes." "(nigel:)thank you." "Where are you going?" "Kate hemphill at interpol" "Just confirmed that sydney" "Cleared customs in athens." "(karen:)but there was no carson innes with her?" "Yes, there was." "So what is she..." "Spy, conwoman," "International criminal?" "She's a greek businesswoman" "Who operates on the line" "Between legal and not," "But never crosses it." "By the way," "Kate's going to run the data" "And get back to you if" "She comes up with anything more." "Me?" "Yeah, I'm going to athens." "How do you know where to start?" "Apparently, carson owns the island of skiros." "The whole island?" "(sydney:)get off me!" "I've double-checked" "And this is definitely" "Where minalysius' crypt should be." "My men are bringing a jeep around." "There is one problem." "Solve it." "There are a few glyphs on the scrolls" "That relate to how you access the crypt." "I haven't been able to translate them." "You're supposed to be the best." "I had plenty of choices, I chose you." "My assistant specializes" "In these sort of translations." "But you're certain of the location of the crypt?" "Yes." "We leave in ten." "Get your things together." "Just my luck." "A matched set." "Nigel." "Where's sydney?" "What have you done with her?" "You have much more to worry" "About than finding her." "Move quietly away from the house" "Before she sees him." "What?" "Look, we're all reasonable." "I mean, this is rather cliche, isn't it?" "Ow." "Nigel." "What are you doing here?" "Syd." "Let him go." "What are you doing here?" "I told you not to follow me." "I knew you didn't mean it." "She meant it." "I came to save you." "Save me?" "From what?" "A magical necklace," "An active volcano," "A homicidal collector of antiquities." "Take your pick." "He was going to try" "And steal your necklace." "No." "Take him." "(guard:)let's go." "Wait." "(nigel:)syd." "Syd." "Oh wait." "I told you," "Nigel can translate those" "Ancient symbols for me." "Glyphs." "Encryptions." "Demotic derivatives." "I eat them for breakfast." "He can translate the ones that I can't." "It will save time." "Let's get going." "There's not much left" "Of king minalysius' city." "3000 years can take their toll." "Not to mention looters." "[explosion]" "(nigel:)you know they've evacuated the island?" "Yes, and if we don't find" "The statue of athena before it blows," "Guess who won't be joining them." "Thanks for saving me." "I knew you must be faking this somehow." "Faking what?" "That necklace has put you under" "Some kind of a spell." "Spell?" "(nigel:)you have no idea what's going on here?" "Nigel, I don't know what" "You think is going on," "But I'm fine." "Really." "Now, these two columns mark what used" "To be the city's main gates." "Exactly." "Which means we head in" "That direction due west, 30 cubits." "People have been searching for this hidden crypt" "For hundreds of years." "What makes you think you're different?" "Sydney discovered these ruins" "Were built on pre-existing ones," "Probably dating back to the 13 century bc." "You're saying minalysius" "Built a city on top of a city?" "Just like in edinburgh, seattle." "The statue lies somewhere underneath." "A marker with an inscription" "Indicates the entrance." "This is it?" "I've walked by this part" "Of the ruins a thousand times." "It's part of a temple dedicated to athena." "This is a prayer for courage" "In battle to the god of art and war." ""may your armies be mighty," "Your winds be favourable," "Your will be mine."" "Wait a minute." "That's odd." "There are egyptian symbols here" "At the bottom," "Written in doretic," "Which is a hybrid" "Of cursive and hieroglyphic." "Is this the part that you said" "You couldn't translate?" "Yes." "Uh oh." "This symbol that the two reed leaves crossed." "What's the problem?" "Well, it's the signature mark" "Of an egyptian architect called hepsut." "Minalysius imported help." "I didn't recognize the symbol." "Hepsut was one of the greatest" "Trap builders there ever was." "I hope I'm wrong." "But do you remember" "The last time we... (carson:)spare me the trip down memory lane." "Now, where's the statue?" "According to the scrolls," "It lies underneath this." "Something's daring us to go through here." "(sydney:)look at that construction." "Definitely egyptian." "(nigel:)it's definitely hepsut." "His designs were a one-way ticket" "To the afterlife." "It looks to me like we" "Can crawl right through it." "Please, be my guest." "(sydney:)any one of those beams" "Could conceal a trigger." "All, probably, knowing hepsut." "(sydney:)trip one," "Nudge any one of them... (nigel:)no." "It's impossible." "Nothing is impossible." "He may be right." "Sydney, you must find" "The statue of athena." "(nigel:)look, we'll need to" "Measure every angle," "Take photographs." "So what exactly am I looking at here?" "An educated guess?" "We fed the digital photograph" "Into the computer" "And it recreated the maze." "It's accurate plus or minus one percent," "Nine times out of ten." "Perfect." "Not enough to guarantee success." "If I can't talk you out of this," "At least I can try" "And get you through in one piece." "Let's hope so." "(carson:)don't break your arm" "Patting yourself on the back." "Can you do it?" "Only one way to find out." "I can do this." "Come on." "You're almost there." "So close." "Let me try this again." "Let her take the necklace off." "Find another way." "Sydney?" "Do it again." "What?" "So we know it wasn't a fluke." "Okay." "[bell ringing]" "I don't understand." "I could have sworn..." "I moved this one" "When you weren't looking." "I think that's enough." "To illustrate a point." "You got cocky." "Overconfident." "You dropped your guard." "Now, that's how hepsut gets you." "(carson:)be ready to leave in the morning." "Do it again." "(nigel:)a hanger." "That will work." "Okay." "[screaming]" "Nigel." "You scared me half to death." "What are you doing here?" "Tucking you in." "Look, you trust me, right?" "Of course." "(nigel:)we've been through a lot together, haven't we?" "Yes." "All right, then..." "As crazy as it sounds," "That necklace has magical powers." "Come on, you must remember the story..." "Princess narina who posed" "For minalysius' statue." "Look, how else would you explain your..." "Your erratic behaviour?" "My erratic behaviour?" "You're the one that's breaking and entering." "All right, maybe not magic powers," "But some kind of contact narcotic" "That's applied on the underside." "Or maybe a little tiny pin" "That pricks the skin when you put it on," "Inducing a suggestible state." "Maybe even in the clasp." "Look, let me just take it off." "(sydney:)hurry, I can't..." "I'm hurrying." "I'm hurrying." "(carson:)without the necklace," "You will die." "No!" "(nigel:)sydney?" "You were fighting it there for a minute." "I can't." "[yelling]" "Then come with me." "I can't leave." "Sydney, come on!" "(sydney:)no." "(guard:)stop, or I'll shoot." "[machine gun fire]" "No!" "(carson:)what's going on?" "(carson:)sydney?" "Nigel broke into the room." "He tried to take the necklace." "I wouldn't let him." "Of course not." "Without the necklace, you will die." "I don't think nigel" "Will be bothering you anymore." "(guard:)I'm sorry." "You're kidding." "He escaped?" "I will..." "Save it." "We don't have time for you" "To go chasing him all over the island." "Nigel's not your friend." "He broke into your room tonight." "He tried to kill you." "He wants the statue of athena for himself." "The next time you see nigel," "You'll kill him." "Understand?" "I understand." "Ready?" "[rumbling]" "Ohh!" "You did it!" "[rumbling]" "I can't help feeling I'm missing something." "There might be more traps up ahead." "Come on, we must be close." "Minalysius' tomb." "I'll be the first person" "In 3000 years to walk through these doors." "If I can get it open." "Any one or a combination of these" "Could be the trigger mechanism." "Which one?" "I don't know." "(nigel:)stop!" "Step away from there." "Just like a bad penny." "Get rid of him." "Permanently." "Kill him!" "No." "No." "You wouldn't." "I'm fighting it, nigel." "(nigel:)"give nigel words." "Don't trust carson!"" "Sydney!" "I keep hearing them over" "And over in my head." "It's what carson said" "When she put the necklace on." "I think it's how" "She keeps a hold of me." "I don't know," "You must have been sweating," "But they're all smudged." "Sydney!" "Nigel." "[speaking greek]" "What, is that an 'f?" "[speaking greek]" "(carson:)sydney!" "Nigel." "[speaking greek]" "[speaking greek]" "Sydney!" "Did you do it?" "Yes." "But not before he told me" "How to open the crypt" "And avoid hepsut's last trap." "Congratulations." "She's beautiful." "She's everything I always" "Dreamt she would be." "So intricate." "So detailed." "Right down to the necklace." "Put it on her." "That's how it works." "But I'll die without it." "You'll die either way." "Where the hell is it?" "It was giving me a rash." "I thought you'd like to see one in silver." "No bullets." "[rumbling]" "I think that's our cue to leave." "What about her?" "(carson:)I liked you much better" "When you didn't have a mind of your own." "I bet you say that to all the girls." "(nigel:)can we finish this conversation later," "Perhaps, when we're off" "This timebomb of an island?" "There may be a slight delay." "Then again, maybe not." "Nigel, put the necklace on her." "No!" "[speaking greek]" "There's been a slight change of plans, boys." "You don't need your guns." "(carson:)you're going to help them get" "The statue of athena off the island." "From now on," "All of your orders come from sydney." "You got that?" "Yeah, why don't you guys start by" "Getting that statue out of the ground?" "So this is the woman" "Who started all the trouble?" "She's the one." "And the necklace?" "Safely under lock and key" "Back in the museum in athens," "Thank goodness." "Right where it belongs." "Well, it's good to have you back syd." "I mean, the real you." "Thanks." "It's great to be back." "Thanks to nigel." "Well, anything for a friend." "Even one who verbally abused me." "I'm sorry about that." "Not to mention pulling a knife on me." "I apologize for that too." "Is there any way I can make up for this?" "How about a raise?" "A raise?" "I was thinking more like dinner." "Yes, well a raise is" "Out of the question for me." "But I think karen might merit" "A little increase." "Oh, I see what's going on here." "You two are ganging up on me." "Us?" "Perish the thought." "You're the boss." "Your call." "(nigel:)absolutely." "Please, I mean," "As if we could say anything" "That would influence your decision."
