Cheng Cheng Kung.

You are still my phantom.

Souls of ancient warriors.

Their anguish.

The grandson of Kwai Chang Kane walks out of the past.

But I want to fight.

So did your great -grandfather when he was your age.

He teaches his son wisdom at a Shaolin temple.

An evil force destroyed that temple. Father and son each believed the other

perished. Fifteen years later, they were reunited.

Now Kane faced new challenges.

And his son grew up.

Look, I'm not my father. I don't do kung fu. I'm a cop. That's who I am. That's

what I do.

I am king.

I will help.

So you would consider this a triumph, Mr. Blythe?

Oh, absolute coup. Oh, my word, yes. I mean to say, to actually get the

Kang Saffron River Collection.

It's the very stuff of dreams and legends.

And curses, I believe.

Yes, well, of course, we don't take such things seriously, do we?

Oh, yes, we do, my word, yes.

Well, let me assure you, Professor Vlad Palin, that your archaeological

exhibition will be in the most distinguished company.

Well, for ten days, anyway.

Do call me George.

Oh, yes.

Do you know, I've always been fascinated by that name.

George?

No, no, Vlad Palin. Ah.

I must confess, I've had rather an obsession with the dark forces.

You know, Dracula, that sort of thing.

Did you know, by the way, Dracula is the mythic name of a real person? Oh, yes,

yes.

Vlad the Impaler.

Perhaps I merely changed my name to protect my true identity.

Yes, very true.

You're not from Transylvania, are you?

Baltimore. Or at least that's what I want people to believe. What an

building. Oh, yes, well, of course, this is a newer wing.

Would you care to look at the original building?

Splendid.

The pieces of antiquity in the collection that I'm loaning your museum

valuable. What kind of security are we talking about here?

Well, um, state of the art.

A police expert at the local precinct.

Yes, they, um, they call him Permit.

Which local precinct? Oh, the, um, Thunderford.

Yes, there's a detective there, um, Kane.

Yes, he's in charge of security.

Then he reports to Captain Blaisdell.

I believe I met him once with the police commissioner.

Ah.

Well, the Chen Cheng Kung exhibit will be more closely guarded here than the

King Tut, as well as yours, of course.

When does your prize exhibit open?

Monday. Oh, by the way, there's a gala party tomorrow night.

I do hope you can join us.

I'd be delighted.

My associates will be unpacking 15 crates. I'll provide you with an exact

inventory. Perhaps I could be given a personal look at the Emperor

Cheng Cheng Kong.

I'm afraid the exhibit's off limits to everyone but museum personnel and my own

staff.

George Vlad Palin.

My interest is tricky, professional.

One archaeologist to another.

Rebecca Carlson, I send the Ting Ting Kung exhibit around the world and travel

with it so the emperor isn't lonely.

A dread shame.

He has been dead for so many centuries.

Tomorrow night, then?

Oh, we will attend the party.

Marvelous.

Sunday at the museum with George?

I wouldn't miss it.

Drop that sarcophagus and your children will be born hairless and nailless.

The blood in your veins will boil over.

And the tears in your eye ducts will freeze.

You don't really believe in the curse of the Chin Chin Company.

Well, there was a workman in Detroit who tried to slip one of the jewels off the

scepter.

He was found in an alleyway with his fingers fused together.

Then there was a member of the public who went berserk in Kansas City.

He crashed through his sarcophagus and touched the emperor's mask.

He threw himself off a bridge two days later.

Well, one was a drug dealer and a revenge murderer, and the other was a

depressive.

I read the police reports.

Oh, I forgot I was dealing with a cop.

I guess the idea of mysticism is a little foreign to you.

You'd be surprised.

I'm rarely surprised.

I'm sorry to hear that.

We missed him a lot.

You are still disturbed by what happened last night.

My dear Kwai Chin Ken, you have no need to fear.

You were not under attack.

But there was.

Four centuries ago, the tortured souls that were

slaughtered by Jinjiang Gong cried out to me, the

emperor's tomb must be here in this city.

Is that the National Museum of Life?

carries the curse of the Three Kingdoms.

The curse has been activated.

No. Everyone in that museum will die.

Including my son.

I must go to him.

Then I must accommodate you.

So what you're saying is you can actually cover the whole collection?

the... So, this is the Nell Center, then, Mr. Blythe. Perhaps I could see a

security demonstration.

George. Vlad Palin.

Curbit.

The professor's private collection is valued at five million.

Not quite in the Chen -Chen -Kang region of... Fifty million, isn't it? Some

outrageous figure like that.

I believe the emerald ring on the emperor's right hand is worth one

alone. He was buried with a fabulous treasure.

Let's take a look at the emperor.

Here he is, lying in his sarcophagus.

He was a great warrior.

Defeated the Dungares at the Battle of the Sanfri River, 1662.

Took no prisoners.

Enjoyed the slaughter.

Drank the blood of his enemies.

He'd feel right at home in this town.

It's showtime.

It's fascinating.

You know, it's just like a firework display.

Lasers. Fuses your bones and keeps the grave robbers away.

Very dangerous, but only activated when the exhibit is closed to the public.

What would happen if a thief did step into one of those laser beams?

He'd fry.

Could he not maneuver around them? If he was Spider -Man in the width of a

playing card.

Also, he'd have to see them, and they're invisible.

What's happening over here?

My assistant, Tom Hanson. I told him to enter only from the loading dock, but

I'm afraid he is rather headstrong.

Very impressive, your lasers. I certainly wouldn't want to step into one

them.

I wouldn't advise it.

Of course you wouldn't.

Good day, gentlemen.

Detective Kane, we're going to be working in close proximity for the next

days. I don't want to make you nervous.

My bite's much worse than my bark.

And I kick dogs as stray under my feet. I don't believe that. Look at me.

Can we take this from the top?

You're responsible for an exhibit that's worth millions of dollars and you're a

little uptight. And I'm responsible for making sure nothing happens to it or to

you. And I'd like to stay mellow, so why don't we just try to meet in the middle

somewhere?

You mean for a drink?

We might fit that in.

But the ice maiden would have to thaw it a little first.

Just the room temperature.

Well, I wouldn't want you to think your rough -fuelled charm was working on me,

but... Excuse me.

How about a drink when hell freezes over?

Good afternoon.

Way to go, Peter.

Couldn't have been George.

The disc, gentlemen.

Oh, this is outstanding, George.

Oh, forget it.

There's too many beams. They're too close together.

Life can be changed, refracted, redirected.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about, do you?

Peter, please.

Don't ever say that to me.

You just follow everything I say in exact detail.

And you will leave that museum a very rich man.

Okay, boys and girls, make sure that the spring rolls keep looking fresh, okay?

The butter's fly shrimp should not look like they haven't come out of the cocoon

yet. Fill this tray up with wonton, and let's get those hot wings. Come on, move

it, move it, move it!

Lula?

Peter Kane!

You in charge here.

I'm feeling safe already.

What did you get into, um... Catering.

I'm building myself a little nest egg, but don't tell Donnie, okay? He still

thinks I'm driving cab.

Hey, Mario!

Chief. That is champagne, not ripple. You pour it into the glass, not onto the

floor, okay?

Okay, Chief.

I'm set.

Yeah, Donnie's out of town, but when he gets back, he's gonna do it.

Go legit?

No. He's gonna pop the question.

He's gonna ask me to marry him.

Donnie? You think that little weasel's gonna scuzz out on me? That'll never

happen, Lula. I'm having a little trouble breathing.

Oh.

Listen, while you're serving tonight, maybe you could do what Donnie does for

and keep your ear to the ground.

You think there's going to be trouble?

Shh, don't worry. I am your man.

Pick these guys up to the front and meet them at the door.

All set?

Yeah, the president doesn't have this much security.

Looking very nice.

Yeah, the last time I wore this monkey suit was for Carolyn's wedding.

Speaking of that.

I think I saw Earl Tran George here at the museum.

You're not serious?

My imagination ran out on empty, I'm sure.

It's your idea.

Do you know, Winston Churchill was heard to say at a dinner party for the Prince

of Wales, I realise I must be at my best performance tonight, but punctual,

subdued, reserved, all of the qualities with which I'm least endowed. You'll be

a wonderful artist, I'm sure.

Have you seen Rebecca?

Yeah, looking gorgeous. How's that war going?

I'm winning the odd skirmish. Listen, I'm going to do one more check of the

inventory of that exhibit before Blake turns on the lasers.

Do you know where Rebecca is?

She's looking at the dinosaurs. I think she got the idea after she met me.

I'm sorry if I frightened you.

Magnificent creatures, aren't they?

The power, the grandeur of them.

Predators without parallel.

They're trembling.

But what is it that makes you tremble?

I don't know.

You repress the emotions within you.

The touch of a hand on your skin.

Sending sensual vibrations through your body.

Don't fight.

I'm so sorry.

You're needed by Detective Kane, Miss Carlson.

Professor, please.

This wing closes in five minutes.

I do hope your men have begun unloading.

Ah, yes.

Everything is going according to plan.

A nice thing about time, my dear Mr. Blythe.

No matter what you do, it keeps on counting down to an ending.

Let there be light, Blake.

Who are you?

What the hell is that?

Energy of the centuries.

Try static electricity in the air.

Dad?

Your father?

You take him with you to social functions?

We're a team.

Now, Dad, what are you doing here?

These treasures are sacred.

They must not be disturbed.

That's why we're here.

The system is turned on. Here, put these on.

Huh.

Lasers.

Let's lock it up and greet our guests.

Remember, no one's allowed in here till tomorrow.

You can see those lasers without the glasses, can't you?

Why are you here, Pop?

Chen Chenggong's life force has been threatened.

There are grave robbers in here.

What are you talking about?

The curse has been awakened.

You don't believe in this curse, do you?

I believe in the power of the mind.

A mind so dark, And so twisted, it can reach across the centuries.

You feel it, too.

Do you not remember?

You are afraid?

Yes.

We are only laying flowers at the tomb of a great man.

But he was murdered.

Yes.

The other kids.

They say that to go inside the tomb, it's cursed.

Your face goes white, your hair falls out, and snakes crawl through your

Have you seen this happen to anyone?

No.

Then the fear is only in your imagination.

Take hold of it. Make it real.

And it will disperse.

Shadows cannot exist in the light of reason.

I know that, but... Will you go first?

I remember there was no curse.

I was just being stupid.

You were afraid because you believed.

You must believe now.

Many lives depend on it.

All right, all right. Okay, if you believe, then I'll believe.

But that exhibit can't be robbed. It's more heavily guarded than Fort Knox.

And a curse, it can't be activated. I'll check with Kermit on the monitors in

the computer room. You go to the banquet.

I'll meet you there.

The curse has been activated, my son.

What a swell party.

Bloody marvelous.

Thank you.

What the hell is he doing here?

You ever going to get to that banquet, Kermit?

Keep the champagne chilled for me.

My father thinks there's going to be grave robbers on the guest list.

When your father speaks, I listen. Let's look for him.

Would you care for a drink?

Thank you. My name is George, and you are?

Lula.

Champagne shared is always much sweeter. I can't believe that. If you're the

last guest to leave, you come look for me.

Have you told the mayor how you pulled off this crew, Mr. Bly? Oh, uh, greed,

bribery, corruption.

All the things that made the British Empire great, Professor. Yes.

Excuse me for a moment.

He's a very strange chap.

Can you believe that guy? He propositioned me in front of all those

You are very beautiful.

Hey!

I am very old.

Yeah, you are. I'm sorry.

I mean, doesn't he know I'm about to get hitched?

Does your intended...

No. He better.

He is very dangerous.

You think he's trouble?

Hmm.

Guess I'm gonna have to keep my eye out on him, huh?

So, we meet again.

Have you forgiven me?

You must call off this robbery.

Just because I attend a party doesn't always mean I intend to rob the place.

There are forces at work here, more powerful than you can imagine.

Forces that transcend time.

If one item is removed from this exhibit, it could

unleash... The dogs of hell?

They're nipping at your heels, Kane.

Beware.

Everyone in this building is in great danger of their lives.

That's right.

This is a detonator.

I have 100 pounds of explosives wired somewhere in this building.

A timer counting down.

I can detonate it with this.

Or stop it, of course.

So, you will do nothing to stop me.

Do enjoy the party.

There, that storage room. What's that?

It's Professor Blackholland's crates. No exhibit.

What was in those crates?

You only eat at Functions, Blake?

This is from the Pillsbury Doughboy.

That's a joke, Chief.

Excuse me.

Would you like some more order?

Well, this is the greatest opening we've had in any city.

Curse be damned.

You don't believe in that stuff, do you?

Only in the smallest part of my heart, in the darkest of rooms.

Interference.

Good work, Georgie.

Where's that detective of yours, Peter Kane?

He run out on me?

Wouldn't that bother you?

Well, he's rude and irritating, and he owes me a dance.

Lock contact.

What is it?

I don't know.

What's wrong? Radio communication's gone dead.

Circuits overloaded.

Museum backup circuits inoperable.

Jesus.

Someone is using some very sophisticated jamming equipment, damn it.

Let's check that storage room.

Thank you.

Anyway... Oh, you really do seem to have an effect on me.

Let me just have to take you up on that offer after all.

Later.

Real lasers, gentlemen.

Ready?

Three, two, one, go.

Viewer.

Okay, you three guys go you with me

What's going on?

The phones are dead.

Isn't it always the way?

Sir Peter was right, wasn't he?

I told you at your daughter's wedding reception, if there was any

I would send my men up to hose the room. This time they're here already.

What the hell are you doing?

We're leaving the party. Back out.

George, why don't you let the guests go? You can hold me and my men as hostage.

No bull, but foolish.

You're paid to be heroes.

And you should also know there is dynamite wired somewhere in the building

explode if anyone leaves this room.

Why the hell should I believe that?

Because you can't afford not to?

I do hope your daughter Caroline had a nice honeymoon.

We really must stop meeting at parties like this.

Come with me, Rebecca.

I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

This section of the room is closed.

Thank you.

Empty. Whatever was inside has been taken away.

Or walked away.

Whoa!

You must have spent a lot more time away from the computer than I thought,

Kermit. A few tricks I learned from Blaisdell.

Was that before the precinct?

Oh, yeah.

How do you fight like that and keep your glasses on?

Practice. So, where do we go?

Great Hall?

Or the exhibit?

We'll let the captain take care of the banquet. We've just got to stop the

robbery.

He wants me. I'd like to know exactly what I'm stealing.

Do you remember Karen's wedding reception when I told you there was a

How could I forget?

There's another problem.

Sorry, folks, no one's allowed in the other part of the museum. Excuse me,

ladies and gentlemen, this part of the museum is closed.

Don't worry.

Wait.

He... Explosives.

Pressed against the door.

There are other explosives wired.

Here we go.

What the hell's going on?

Uh, let me take you under the guided tour.

I'm sorry, Mr. Blythe. No one's allowed to leave this party.

But it's my party.

R .A .F. Buckingham, 1970.

I lifted this off George.

Didn't feel a thing. Little trick I learned off Donnie.

Wow, what is this?

This is a detonator. Edit to Kermit.

touch the ring, you will be destroyed.

Come on, Kermit.

Kermit, come on.

There's too many wires. I might pull the wrong one.

You've got 20 seconds to stop that timer and live.

Question Kane, you must put it back.

My life will be forfeit. Only if the Emperor cannot see

into your heart.

There you are.

Rather splendid, eh?

Do take a look around, Cain.

There is someone I must find.

Very good to see you again.

How did you know what was going to happen?

If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

I'd probably believe anything you told me.

I keep that in mind.

Are you going to be continuing with the tour?

You mean now that I know the curse is real?

Well, I wouldn't want to make the Emperor angry.

I'll go on with it.

But the tour ends in London, so I'll be back.

not mean to exile him he must have fallen too close to the painting

and the forces were ready to take him what are you talking about

george um no he got away in the confusion

he'll be back in our lives no i

do not think we will see him again

What the hell are you talking about?
