National Treasure (2004) Edit

A E F G L O R V Y.

A credit card slip?

A degree in American History from Georgetown,

A degree in Mechanical Engineering at MlT,

A document of that importance would ensure the map's survival.

A jump like that could kill a man.

A map of what?

A map.

A resolution that 55 men signed.

A souvenir.

A street inside the church?

A toast, yeah?

A treasure that had been fought over for centuries

A treasure.

A very cute man.

A very golf.

Abigail Chase.

Abigail!

Abigail!

Abigail! Get on!

ABlGAlL: Ben! Grab my hand.

ABlGAlL: Come back! You're gonna need us, lan!

ABlGAlL: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Hi.

ABlGAlL: He's probably right.

ABlGAlL: Here, help me.

ABlGAlL: Hey, Mike.

ABlGAlL: Hold on! Hold on!

ABlGAlL: l don't think we can get out of here without being spotted.

ABlGAlL: lan... We'll be trapped.

ABlGAlL: Let me go! Just bring her!

ABlGAlL: No! No!

ABlGAlL: Oh, my God.

ABlGAlL: Okay, boys, what's going on?

ABlGAlL: Right across the street from where we're hiding,

ABlGAlL: Run full diagnostics, then I want them all changed out.

ABlGAlL: Simple. Heere at the wall. Wall Street and Broadway.

ABlGAlL: So you show up at your father's door and say you're in trouble

ABlGAlL: That's the key?

ABlGAlL: There it is.

ABlGAlL: What are you doing here? ls that that hot girl?

ABlGAlL: What are you doing here? ls that that hot girl?

ABlGAlL: What do you see? 2:22.

ABlGAlL: What have you got?

ABlGAlL: What letters?

ABlGAlL: Yeah. Hell.

ABlGAlL: You can't do that. But it has to be done.

After getting down here was cut a secondary shaft back out for air...

Agent Dawes, do you have a visual?

Agent Michaels, get FAA flight plans and authorisation records on that craft.

Albuquerque.

All right, let's go.

All right, Phil.

All right, put it down.

All right. l'm gonna go down there, and you meet me in the signing room.

All right. Um, kneel.

All the documents and the storage housings

All this time no one knew what was on the back.

Also Ago fly rev.

Also, we found bullet casings.

Although I don't think that's exactly gonna scare Ian away.

Anagrams being listed.

And beneath an inch of bullet proof glass

And biometric access denial systems.

And bring those glasses you found at Independence Hall.

And every time it changed hands it grew larger.

And he dragged you two into this nonsense?

And he knew he was dying.

And he stole my car.

And he's the only criminal we knew.

And here's the treasure, spend it wisely?

And here's what you do.

And if he succeeds, he'll destroy the Declaration.

And it belongs to the world, and everybody in it.

And it's really starting to annoy.

And just who might you be?

And l promise you, the only thing there is a notation that reads,

And l want you to have the chance to do that.

And l'm supposed to believe that.

And l've never been so happy to be proven wrong.

And lan still ended up with the Declaration of Independence.

And little families from lowa

And little kids on their eighth grade field trip.

And now you've destroyed yours.

And ordered him to take him to the White House

And provide new Guards for their future security.

And put your hands behind your back, please.

And tell the FBl agents listening in on this call

And that means the treasure is real.

And that will lead to another clue, and that will lead to another clue!

And that's all you'll ever find, is another clue. Don't you get it, Ben?

And that's where we lost the Department of Homeland Security.

And the family Gates.

And the first thing he assumes is l'm pregnant.

And the stain effects the legend.

And the treasure?

And the way to read the map can be found

And then suddenly...

And there's no chance anyone can steal this either.

And they formed a new brotherhood called the Freemasons,

And they're all saying the same exact thing.

And those. You keep that.

And to make sure he could not offend the map,

And trespassing on government property.

And understood the meaning of it.

And we are in.

And we can find out right now.

And we can talk through this together?

And wearing little scarves.

And what about you?

And why weren't they getting along?

And you didn't believe us.

And you have no idea where he's going?

And you pulled me into all this.

And you said there were several Masons signed it, yeah?

And you saw the cipher...

And, you know, that really is a nice collection.

Anyone crazy enough to believe us isn't gonna want to help.

Anyone got a view of our friend Ian Howe?

Are fly gov.

Are those latitudes and longitudes?

Are we knights?

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Are you all right? No! Those lunatics...

Are you still there? Ben?

Are you trying to steal that?

As soon as he shows you the Declaration, we'll move in.

As soon as this guy gets to wherever this thing ends,

Ask your girlfriend.

Assuming Ben's theory's correct and my tracking model's accurate,

At least 200 years.

At least l had you.

At least l had your mother, for however brief a time.

At the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway.

Bad, bad, bad!

Beautiful.

Because as far as I can see, we're still trapped down here.

Because it served as a beacon, as it were,

Because it was urgent that he speak to the president.

Because it's a name.

Because it's important?

Because of you.

Because the first thing the builders would have done

Because you found what they left behind for us to find

Before Charles Carroll told the story to Thomas Gates.

Before the Declaration was stolen.

Beheaded, drawn and quartered, and, oh, my personal favourite,

Being kept down by the man.

Believed that the treasure was too great for any one man,

Ben Gates, you are now the lnvisible Man.

Ben, are you sure that we should...

Ben, for God's sakes,

Ben, l have no... Ben, I have nothing.

Ben, l thought you said that the treasure would be on the Charlotte.

Ben, pick it up.

Ben, the mean Declaration lady's behind you.

Ben, there is a catch.

Ben, you're doing great.

Ben?

Ben?

Ben. You all right?

Ben...

Beneath the church.

Benjamin Franklin Gates,

Benjamin Franklin invented something like these.

Benjamin Franklin. ABlGAlL: Benjamin Franklin.

Besides, with you out of the picture there's less baggage to carry.

Broadway, Wall Street.

But anyone that can do anything is gonna think we're crazy.

But Charles Carroll had a secret.

But don't go by me, I broke a shoelace this morning.

But he only needed to find one way to make it work.

But l found door number three. And l'm taking it.

But l just want to know

But l want to hold it. I feel like I'm so close, l can taste it.

But no map.

But one step short of crazy, what do you get?

But then why not say a pen? Why... Why say iron pen?

But there's a Cadillac DeVille registered to Patrick Gates.

But we especially don't want them to have them both together.

But we'll make our way to the Preservation Room,

But what really happened was the legend was invented,

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,

But why would the map lead us here, then take us somewhere else?

But you do realise how many people we have after us.

But you feel better inside.

By the time of the American Revolution

By then the Masons included

By tyrants, pharaohs, emperors, warlords.

Calligrapher, not writer.

Can l get a status report?

Can l marry your brain?

Can you remember which ones you were gonna tell him next?

Can you see Gates in the water?

Careful no one steps in him.

Careful.

Careful. ABlGAlL: You think?

Charge to Benjamin Gates.

Charles Carroll was the last surviving signer

Charlotte.

Checking source. Unknown number.

Cheerio.

Clear!

Clear.

Code red. Code red. We have a break in.

Combined with The key in Silence undetected,

Come here.

Come on, Romeo, get out of there.

Come on, son. Time to go.

Come on, there's no invisible map

Come on!

Come on.

Come on. Jump.

Come on. Let's go, let's go.

Comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the house of Pass and Stow.

Comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the house of pass and...

Common Sense. How appropriate.

Compile a family and friends list. Closest relative first.

Cool.

Cooperation only lasts as long as the status quo is unchanged.

Copy that.

Could have had a bigger house.

Could it really be that simple?

Could this be possible?

Crosses in front of the house of the Liberty Bell. Independence Hall.

Crow's nest in position. Port side is quiet.

CYCLlST: Watch it!

Dad, can we have the letters now?

Dad, do what he says.

Dad, it's really late. Why don't you get some rest?

Dad, l can explain, but I don't have time.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Delicious jams and jellies?

Did Gates speak to anybody?

Did we get a description from the other guards?

Did you bring the glasses?

Did you steal those, too?

Did you?

Directly across the hall and into the Preservation Room.

Discovered secret vaults beneath the Temple of Solomon.

Divide it amongst the Smithsonian, the Louvre, the Cairo museum...

Do we have a name on the tipster?

Do what you want, Ben. Do what you want.

Do you actually know who the first person

Do you guys know what this is?

Do you have a cell phone I could borrow?

Do you have a cell phone I could borrow?

Do you imagine any one of your lives is more valuable to me than Shaw's?

Do you know what the Preservation Room is for?

Do you so swear?

Do you think it's in the barrels?

Do you want to be?

Don't do this. You can't just leave us here.

Don't try anything. Just let us handle it.

Don't worry, Mr. Gates, we'll find your car and your son.

Don't.

Door number one, you go to prison for a very long time.

Door number two,

Dr. Chase can see you now, Mr. Brown.

Dr. Chase gets off completely clean,

Dr. Herbert said Dr. Chase introduced him as Mr. Brown.

Dude, we're on the grid.

Each of these three numbers corresponds to a word in a key.

Easy.

EDS suits, a particulate air filtration system,

Either way we're gonna die.

End of the road. The treasure's gone. Moved. Taken somewhere else.

Enough, man! Give me the document.

Era fly gov.

Eventually, it was moved from its place, in Independence Hall steeple,

Every once in a while you've got to be holding all the cards.

Every word.

Evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,

Except for now, of course.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Sorry, sir. Excuse me.

Fargo levy.

Fascinating. Hold this.

FBI, right?

FBl. Have you seen this guy? No.

Ferrous sulphate inks can only be brought out with heat.

Fifty five in iron pen.

Follow me.

Follow up with ATF and lNS.

Fool!

For people to collect and hear...

For the record, Ben, I like the house.

For the woman who has everything else...

For you.

Four of July, 1776. Yes, ma'am.

Freeze! Don't move! Show me your hands!

Freeze! FBl! FBl!

From this point on, all you're going to be is a hindrance.

Game on.

Gates, are you with me?

Gates!

Gates?

Gates? Gates?

Gates.

Gentlemen,

George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere.

George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere.

George Washington's campaign buttons.

George Washington's campaign buttons.

Get down there. Get down there!

Get down.

Get me next to her.

Get on.

Get out of there. Get out of there now.

Get out, Shaw!

Get out. Take your troubles with you.

Get positive lDs. Search everyone, including the security staff.

Get the FBl on the phone.

Give it to the people.

Go around. Go around.

Go get the last four letters.

Go get them, chief. Come on.

Go to the starboard observation point behind the F 16

Good luck.

Good stuff.

Good. Excellent.

Got it. Go on.

Grandpa!

Grandpa?

Gravy floe. Valey frog.

Grove fly a.

Gunpowder.

Ha, ha.

Had their entrails cut out and burned!

Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged,

Hang on!

Have a good night.

Have the responsibility to take action.

Have Viktor check the fuel in the generators.

Have you ever told someone, not a relative, I love you?

He doesn't remember a thing.

He paid with a Visa.

He paid with a Visa.

He secretly wrote 14 letters to his brother's newspaper

He tied me to a chair.

He tried to walk out with a copy of the Declaration of Independence

He usually tucks a few hundred dollars somewhere between those pages.

He was a third degree master mason of the Blue...

He was also a member of a secret society known as the Masons.

He woke up his stable boy in the middle of the night

He won't need you anymore or any of us.

He's at the observation deck.

He's bluffing.

He's heading towards the stern.

He's here.

He's the only one who could've told you that line about Edison.

Hello, beautiful.

Hello, Ben.

Hello, Ben.

Hello, Ben. How are you?

Hello, Mr. Gates.

Hello.

Hello.

Here we go.

Here, l took this from his house.

Here.

Here.

Here.

Here's what I got on Gates.

Hey, wait a minute.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! I'm tracking you through the GPS in Shaw's phone.

Hey! lan, wait! PATRlCK: Wait, wait, wait!

Hey! Par... Hey, l found it!

Hey! Stop!

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

Hit me with it.

Hmm?

Hold it!

Holy mackerel. He set us up.

Honey, stay as long as you like.

How about a bribe?

How about now?

How could a ship wind up way out here?

How did they find us?

How do a bunch of guys with hand tools build all this?

How does it look?

How does she look?

How does she look?

How much I would love not to go to prison.

How old is it?

How?

How?

How's your day going?

However, if we were given the privilege of examining the document...

Huh.

I actually had to pay for the souvenir and the real one,

I am so getting fired for this.

I arranged a number of operations of

I can't even begin to describe

I did it alone. Dr. Chase was not involved.

I didn't fail, l found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb.

I didn't know that. Really?

I don't have them, son.

I don't know if l ever would have found Charlotte.

I don't know where anyone is. I have nothing.

I don't know. Tell me what's happening here.

I don't think there's a choice.

I don't think you fully appreciate the gravity of the situation.

I donated them to the Franklin lnstitute in Philadelphia.

I figure their solution will work for the treasure too.

I finally figured it out.

I found something!

I found the Charlotte.

I found this.

I got him. He's coming from the north.

I hate that guy.

I have a job, a house, health insurance.

I have been wondering, though, what the engraving indicated

I hope it's not from Stan.

I hope your agents are all under four feet tall

I just

I just wanted to know.

I just wasn't born here. Please don't touch that!

I knew you'd keep your promise.

I know something about history that you don't know.

I know the person who has the originals. Now shush.

I know. 'Cause you were right.

I know. But they think that way.

I levelled with you 98%.

I levelled with you 100%. Everything I told you was the truth.

I look pregnant?

I lost my feed, Ben.

I made a last minute donation. Pretty big one.

I mean, l've dreamt it's real since my grandfather told me about it.

I need the Silence Dogood letters.

I need to think.

I need your invitation and your lD, please.

I really want it.

I refuse to believe that.

I said, what'd you do with Abigail and Riley?

I see why you left him.

I so swear.

I still can't believe it. All...

I still have this splinter that's been festering for three months

I take it you found the treasure?

I think he invented these.

I think I'd better put you gentlemen in touch with the FBl.

I think there's an interesting story in there.

I think we should change clothes.

I thought it'd be a good idea to have a duplicate.

I told you. You need heat.

I understand your bitterness. I really do.

I wanna reassure you, you are not in danger in any way.

I want that document, Mr. Brown.

I want that document, Mr. Brown.

I want the credit for the find to go to the entire Gates family,

I want to find out who this guy is.

I want you to meet me on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid.

I was thinking about Henson and Peary, crossing this kind of terrain

I was thinking, what if we go public, plaster the story all over the Internet?

I will let you hold onto this if you'll promise to shut up, please.

I would have dropped you both.

I'd be very excited to learn about it, Riley.

I'd love to go shopping, too, but we have no money.

I'd really love not to go to prison.

I'd really need your help here.

I'd take his word for it, if l were you.

I'll be right there.

I'll be there.

I'll buy that.

I'll even throw in the pipe from the Charlotte.

I'll take this.

I'll tell you what, look.

I'm gonna get straight to the point.

I'm gonna give them a couple of hours at least. I hope.

I'm gonna steal it.

I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.

I'm gonna turn off the surveillance cameras. Ready?

I'm guessing that's significant.

I'm in a little trouble.

I'm in here.

I'm in the elevator.

I'm in.

I'm just trying to hide from my ex husband.

I'm just trying to think of anything else we could do.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going out on that thing. 200 years of termite damage and rot.

I'm not going. Not without the Declaration.

I'm pretty sure she was swearing, too.

I'm sorry for your suffering, Riley.

I'm sorry, Ben.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I dropped you. I had to save the Declaration.

I'm still not against you.

I'm still working on it.

I'm sure they're around here somewhere.

I'm taking the whole thing. I'll get it out in the elevator.

I'm the only one who can figure it out, and you know that.

I'm tracking him through the...

I've brought you to the Library of Congress.

I've got him. He's coming this way.

Ian Howe is not at the stern, sir.

Ian,

Ian, I'm not gonna let you steal the Declaration of Independence.

Ian, if you break our deal, the FBI will be only a few minutes behind you.

Ian, listen, why don't you come back down here

Ian. Ian, l've got them. They're heading toward City Hall.

Ian's gonna try and steal it.

Ian's here. There was shooting.

If it's 3:00 p.m. now, okay,

If it's any consolation, you had me convinced.

If lan tries to double cross us,

If Shaw can catch.

If she falls, the document falls.

If she is, are you gonna leave the woman carrying your grandchild

If that's not Mr. Howe, I want to know who it is.

If they refuse, detain them and get warrants.

If they want the Declaration back, and not just a box of confetti,

If this is the real one, what did they get?

If we all cooperate,

In another life,

In five, four, three... Now.

In here.

In honour of the builders of the great temple.

In King Solomon's temple there was a winding staircase.

In order to do what they knew was right.

In your personal life, too.

Information you don't have. I do.

Interesting, dear.

Invisible treasure map.

Iron pen is a prison.

Is an army of sensors and heat monitors

Is it a billion dollar pipe?

Is it a billion dollar pipe?

Is she pregnant?

Is that all the map said?

Is there a door that doesn't lead to prison?

Is there a question in there?

Is there anything else you want to tell me?

Is this how you feel all the time? Because, you know...

Is this real?

Is to make what was undetectable detectable.

It can't be done. Not shouldn't be done. It can't be done.

It could be that the hydrothermic properties of this region

It could have been seen for miles around,

It describes what was penned.

It didn't reappear for more than a thousand years,

It doesn't matter.

It is lowered into a four foot thick concrete, steel plated vault...

It is surrounded by guards and video monitors

It is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government

It may have even been gone

It might.

It never works out so well for the bait.

It really is remarkable. Take a look.

It replaced the Liberty Bell in 1876.

It says, Heere at the wall, spelled with two E's. Take a look.

It signified the journey that had to be made to find the light of truth.

It took you all of two seconds

It turned out I was right.

It turns out helping someone escape from FBI custody is a criminal act.

It vanished.

It was 1832.

It was a fake. It was a fake clue.

It was amazing, Dad.

It was being signed.

It was firm, it was adamant, it was resolved.

It was in 1846, on George Washington's birthday

It was iron, it was firm, it was mineral...

It was necessary.

It was put on the back of a resolution that he transcribed,

It was resolved.

It was the only way we could get this far.

It was...

It'll probably be marked by a symbol in the upper right hand corner.

It's $35.

It's a big bluish green man,

It's a map, an invisible map. So now...

It's a meerschaum pipe. That is beautiful.

It's a name.

It's a riddle.

It's a way to read the map.

It's about five storeys beneath your shoes.

It's called a Submariner. I dive with it. It's actually quite valuable.

It's close. We got surveillance there now.

It's for you.

It's gone.

It's gonna be okay, Riley. I'm sorry I yelled at you.

It's invisible.

It's just another clue.

It's like stealing a national monument. Okay?

It's like stealing him.

It's never been about the money.

It's not about the money, Patrick.

It's not here. lt's there.

It's not just something in my head or in my heart.

It's not like we have our reputations to worry about.

It's not worth it.

It's not.

It's only a matter of minutes before the FBI shows up at my front door.

It's part of Freemason teachings.

It's prison huge.

It's really quite something.

It's right here.

It's Templar symbols.

It's the cargo hold.

It's true.

It's upside down.

It's Valley Forge, she pressed the E and L twice.

It's working. lt's working.

It's you. Hello.

It's...

Jump!

Just a bunch of letters. I can't remember.

Just a moment, Ben.

Just tell me what you told my friend.

Just the guys we warned you were gonna steal the Declaration.

Keep sightlines clear.

Keep the document level. No problem.

Keep the status quo.

Knights Templar.

L can't see Gates.

L told you from the start, I only wanted to borrow it.

L'm just relieved that I'm not as crazy as everyone says.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Peter Sadusky. l'm the agent in charge.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Later de Heere Street was renamed Broadway after the British got in.

Leave them! Let them go.

Lemons.

Let me prove it to you.

Let me see that.

Let me take this.

Let's do this by the book. Hallway is secure.

Let's go find some treasure.

Let's go. Tell the boss we got the car.

Let's have a look at that map.

Lf you're not a steak, you don't belong here.

Like if we get caught and killed?

Like these.

Listen to Riley.

Listen, Ben...

Lmagine its impact back in the 18th century.

Ln 1778...

Ln this case, the Silence Dogood letters.

Lock it down. Nobody leaves the building.

Look at the intricacy of the scrollwork on the stem.

Look out! Look out! Riley!

Look where you're standing. All that gunpowder.

Look, Ben...

Look, if you just give us the letters, we're gone.

Look, if you wanted to leave me behind,

Look.

Look.

Look... This is a waste of time.

Looks like someone got here first.

Looks okay.

Ls it really so hard to believe

Lt looks like Ian Howe could be a false identity.

Lt's a chandelier.

Lt's...

Maps have legends, maps have keys.

McGregor, Viktor, you stay here.

Meet me at the car and call me if you have any problems.

Meet me at the car.

Meet me there at 10:00 tomorrow morning.

More than one someone?

Move in! Move in on Gates!

Move! Get out of here!

Mr. Brown, I have personally seen the back

Mr. Brown, what's going on? What's that?

Mr. Gates, face your father's car

Mr. Matlack can't offend.

Mr. Matlack can't offend.

Must have taken you a long time to hunt down all that history.

Must refer to a way to read the map.

My grandfather's grandfather,

Navy ROTC and Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center.

Next time we find a treasure that redefines history for all mankind,

Nice to meet you, Bill.

Nice to meet you, too.

No broken bones?

No, but I hope it's real.

No, don't be. l would have done exactly the same thing to you.

No, I meant about lan. He's gonna steal the Declaration of Independence, Ben.

No, it was cool. You should try it sometime.

No, N.

No, no, no, that's stupid.

No, no. But we found another clue that led us here.

No, now. Or you can figure out the clues for yourself.

No, that won't be necessary. She won't be any trouble.

No, the cipher was a way to find the way to read the map.

No, The secret lies with Charlotte. I said it could be here.

No, we didn't.

No, what, don't break it!

No, you're right. Parkington Lane has to be here somewhere.

No!

No!

No! Shaw! Oh, God, Shaw!

No.

No.

No. That's where they clean, repair and maintain

Nobody's gonna die. There's another way out.

Nope, I haven't seen him.

Not even a king.

Not even a king.

Not even a little Post it on her service record.

Not even Mr. Carroll knew that.

Not inside. Beneath.

Not on the guest list.

Not to be Johnny Rain Cloud here, but that's not gonna happen.

Not to me.

Nothing else.

Now if this thing's in invisible ink, how do we look at it?

Now look here, Ben.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Now what? PATRlCK: This is...

Now, Ben, where is this other way out?

Now, if there is a secret message,

Now, l think that if we look at this clock tower

Now, Pass and Stow, of course, referring to...

Now, the gift store clerk, she said, he seemed... Well, she said flustered.

Now, when it's not on display,

Now, when the case needs work they take it out of the vault,

Now, when the Declaration is on display, okay,

Now, where is it? Where's my treasure?

Now, you told my assistant that this was an urgent matter.

Obsessed.

Of all the words written here about freedom,

Of hidden items

Of historic and intrinsic value.

Of letters to the editor of The New England Courant.

Of the Declaration of Independence,

Of the Declaration of lndependence.

Oh, Ben.

Oh, God!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Oh, no! Ben!

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, right.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Oh, um...

Okay, Ben, pay attention.

Okay, get on the elevator. Jump!

Okay, go! Go!

Okay, go.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, here's what I want.

Okay, let's go.

Okay, let's go. Before someone sees the smoke.

Okay, my name's not Brown. lt's Gates.

Okay, my name's not Brown. lt's Gates.

Okay, well, then, what does the rest of this mean?

Okay! Let's go!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. The vision to see the treasured past

Okay. Who wants to go down the creepy tunnel inside the tomb first?

Okay. You're let go. Go.

On a night much like this.

On the back of a $100 bill is an etching of Independence Hall

On the back of the Declaration of Independence.

On the back of the Declaration of Independence.

On the Declaration of lndependence in the back of a moving van.

One if by land, two if by sea. One lantern.

One percent. Unbelievable.

One stinking percent. Half of one percent, actually.

Only to have the respected historical community

Or it could be, since the primary writing medium of the time was iron gall ink,

Or my granddad, or my great granddad.

Or said my dad was.

Or we could pull over and just throw him out here.

Original Declaration of lndependence, dated...

Otherwise, Ian's gonna know they're here.

Our evil plan is working.

Over 20 million books.

Over the next century they smuggled it out of Europe

Over time the clues were lost or forgotten,

Owned by Freemasons.

Parkington Lane.

Parkington Lane. Beneath Parkington Lane.

Pass and...

Pass and... what?

Passionate.

PATRlCK: A dumbwaiter system.

PATRlCK: l'm fine.

PATRlCK: Looks like animal skin.

PATRlCK: lt's okay, kiddo.

PATRlCK: No, I wasn't right.

PATRlCK: Son!

PATRlCK: Watch your step.

Paul Brown? No. Not here.

People don't really talk that way, you know?

People don't talk that way anymore.

Perimeter looks normal.

PHlL: Hey, Gates!

Preservation...

Pretending to be a middle aged widow named Silence Dogood.

Pretty darn.

Prison.

Produce hurricane force ice storms

Pursuing invariably the same Object,

Put your hands up. Move, move, move.

Questionable legality.

Quiet, Riley! Your job's finished here.

Really thought I was gonna find the treasure.

Really?

Really?

Really? You sure?

Rebecca. Do you have a Paul Brown on that list?

Resulting in a semisolid migrating land mass

Retiring the Liberty Bell permanently.

Right turn, right turn.

Right, let's go. What are we waiting for?

Right, so timely shadow, it's a specific time.

Right.

Right.

Riley, do you know how to get in touch with lan?

Riley, get over here!

Riley, there's nothing more.

Riley, we've been over this. It was too much. l couldn't accept it.

Riley, you're not missing that little windowless cubicle

Riley.

Riley.

Riley's right here, doing something clever with a computer.

RlLEY: How do you look?

RlLEY: Where are you? Stop talking.

Rub it in. Enjoy your spoils

Run him to ground.

S S A N D.

S S A...

SADUSKY ON RADlO: Take positions.

Sadusky.

Same way they built the pyramids and the Great Wall of China.

Saxony German.

Say $10 billion?

Scrolls from the library at Alexandria.

Second door. 90 seconds.

Security!

See you, Ben.

See, l can do it, too. Snorkel.

See?

See? Okay? Now could you please stop shouting?

See? She's curious.

Shaw. Door three, one minute.

She really can't shut her mouth, can she?

She won't shut up.

She's the one calling all the shots now.

Short of builders' blueprints.

Sir, it's the Hudson. Nothing is visible.

Sir, we've got some traffic incoming. Looks like a sightseeing helicopter.

Sit. Sit down.

Six generations of fools. Chasing after fool's gold.

Skidding, skidding, skidding.

Smart fish.

So don't worry.

So don't worry. I'll make all the arrangements.

So he took into his confidence the one person he could,

So here's your options.

So it's like the page number of the key text,

So that would bother most people.

So they devised a series of clues and maps to its location.

So we find a way to make sure the status quo changes in our favour.

So what are these for?

So what's your offer?

So where's the treasure?

So you get your sense of absolute certainty from him, do you?

So you owe me $35, plus tax.

So,

So, Dad, where are the letters?

So, Heere at the wall.

So, here's to the men who did what was considered wrong

So, what do we do with them?

So, what, you working with lan now?

Some kind of ocular device.

Someone's gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.

Sons who disappoint their fathers.

Sorry. A neat collection.

Sound familiar?

Stairs.

Standard tap procedure... Let's check the signal, folks.

Standing out in the cold?

Start the van.

Stay with the programme.

Steal it?

Still a little on edge from being shot at, but I'll be okay. Thanks for asking.

Stop chatting and get in the van.

Subway.

Suspect has arrived.

Symbols of the Knights Templar, guardians of the treasure.

Target is moving.

Ted. Philadelphia police found Gates' car.

Tell me what l need to know, Ben, or l'll shoot your friend.

Tell me what l need to know, Ben.

Ten percent, Ben.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. In the 1780s, who...

Thanks for listening. Paul Brown.

That Charles Carroll entrusted to young Thomas Gates.

That happens to be equipped with an electronic combination lock

That his grandfather...

That is an N. lt doesn't look like an N.

That means by the time lan figures it out and comes back here,

That means in 1776, it would be 2:00 p.m.

That someone was going to steal the Declaration of Independence.

That someone's gonna try to steal the Declaration of Independence?

That the final expansion of the crack occurred,

That the original Dutch settlers built as a defence to keep the British out.

That the treasure was too great for any one man to have,

That way.

That will go off if someone gets too close with a high fever.

That would land a ship right around here.

That's clever, really.

That's great. Wonderful.

That's it, okay? It's over!

That's not a map.

That's not as funny.

That's okay.

That's probably why no one ever found this.

That's right.

That's right.

That's some story.

That's what l want.

That's what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration.

That's where the map is. Like he said, Fifty five in iron pen.

That's where we have to look.

That's why I didn't think it was as crazy an investment as everyone said.

That's why they went to such lengths to keep it hidden.

That's why we need the Silence Dogood letters.

The all seeing eye.

The artist was actually a friend of Benjamin Franklin's. It's wonderful.

The best time for us, or lan, to steal it would be during the gala this weekend

The British came by sea. It was two lanterns, not one.

The Charlotte?

The clue. Where's the treasure?

The Declaration of Independence is not a bargaining chip.

The Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration of Independence. And the meerschaum pipe.

The Declaration.

The entire Gates family fortune.

The fact is, the only way to protect the Declaration is to steal it.

The family name doesn't get a lot of respect in the academic community.

The FBl gets 10,000 tips a week.

The Founding Fathers believed the same thing about government.

The gala.

The garage is empty,

The guests know something happened, but they don't know what.

The hallway.

The heat sensor went off in the Declaration frame.

The implication is that the effect

The iron does not describe the ink in the pen,

The key in Silence undetected.

The key in Silence undetected.

The Knights Templar.

The legend says that the treasure was buried to keep it from the British.

The legend writ.

The legend writ.

The line on the page, and the letter in that line.

The location of...

The main gate was located at a street called de Heere, also two E's.

The map said Heere at the wall, spelled with two E's.

The map said Heere at the wall, spelled with two E's.

The Old North Church in Boston,

The pen is... Just a pen.

The Preservation Room. Enjoy. Go ahead.

The president wasn't there that night.

The secret lies with Charlotte.

The secret lies with Charlotte.

The stain effected could refer to a dye or a reagent

The stain effected.

The stain effected.

The status quo has changed, son.

The status quo.

The treasure had been hidden again.

The treasure is a myth.

The treasure of the Knights Templar is the treasure of all treasures.

The treasure would never fall into the hands of the British.

The unfinished pyramid. The all seeing eye.

The vision to see the treasured past

The vision to see the treasured past.

The whole shebang.

Then l'll know right where to find you.

Then someone who is trained to handle antique documents is gonna do it.

Then we can all go home.

Then we just keep looking for it.

Then why is he heading there?

Then you'll come alone.

There he is.

There is no treasure. I wasted 20 years of my life.

There is not a treasure map

There isn't another clue.

There was no file opened. We, uh, didn't find the information credible.

There weren't any other guards on patrol down here.

There you are. Hello.

There's a copy of the Declaration on display now?

There's a line here that's at the heart of all the others.

There's an lnuit village about nine miles east of here.

There's gotta be something more.

There's some pizza. It's still warm, l think.

There's the legend of the Templar treasure,

There's thousands of years of world history down there.

These letters were written by Benjamin Franklin.

They assured us that the Declaration cannot possibly be stolen.

They brought the treasure back to Europe and took the name

They got him with a Taser at the service entrance.

They knew they had to make sure

They offered you 10 percent and you turned it down.

They take a turn anywhere we don't want, we'll know it.

They were in an antique desk from the press room...

They'll have your records from forever.

They're all from the same person.

They're digital scans

They're headed for the breezeway on the north side.

They're heading your way.

They're like early American X ray specs.

They're not gonna worry about something they're sure is safe.

They're not just gonna let us waltz in there and run chemical tests on it.

They're sending a private jet.

This better not be about that dumb treasure.

This better work.

This car smells weird.

This I know.

This is cool.

This is huge.

This is it?

This is it.

This is it.

This is Mike. Sublevel three. I have an alert.

This is one of the most important documents in history.

This is the Declaration of Independence.

This is the guy.

This is very old, and we can't risk compromising the map.

This is what we need.

This is where it all leads.

This just came for you.

This might be possible.

This room is real, Ben.

Thomas Edison needed only one way to make a light bulb.

Thomas Gates.

Those men have the Declaration of Independence!

Those who have the ability to take action

Through the all seeing eye.

Through the treasure room.

Throw it in the oven.

Time to go.

Time to run. Keep up, Viktor! Move. Come on.

Timothy Matlack was the official scribe of the Continental Congress.

To decide to steal the Declaration of Independence.

To develop the carbonized cotton thread filament

To high treason.

To keep the British occupied searching for buried treasure.

To see Andrew Jackson,

To signal Paul Revere that the British were coming.

To suggest daylight savings was?

Top results, A glove fry.

Top results, Liberty Bell and lndependence Hall.

Treat you and your family with mockery and contempt.

Trinity Church. We have to go inside Trinity Church.

Two years ago, if you hadn't shown up, hadn't believed the treasure was real,

Unbelievable.

Under the winding staircase of the steeple,

Unit two, get an eyeball on that chopper.

Unless... The key in Silence could be...

Until only one remained, and that was the secret

Used to bring about a certain result.

Usually a random book or a newspaper article.

Vacate immediately.

Valley Forge was a turning point in the American Revolution.

Valley Forge. I don't have that on my computer.

Verdammt! Give me that!

Viktor, meet me at Fifth and Chestnut. Fifth and Chestnut.

Viktor! Move!

Wait a minute, did you just say Gates?

Wait a minute, wait. You're gonna love this.

Wait a minute. Iron pen,

Wait a minute. What do you mean, invisible, an invisible map?

Wait.

Wait. The vision to see the treasured past

Wait. You're not going with us with the Declaration.

Wall Street follows the path of an actual wall

War followed.

Watch it!

Watch out! Get out of my way!

Watch your step.

Water and sewage, it's all here.

We all have our areas of expertise.

We are going to get back the Declaration of Independence.

We are one step closer to the treasure, gentlemen.

We believe that there's an encryption on the back.

We came all this way for a dead end?

We can call the FBI and tell them right where you are.

We can take a look at the Declaration, and then you can be on your way.

We can't have that.

We could borrow it.

We could have had a whole fleet of private jets.

We did the only thing we could do to keep it safe.

We didn't miss it because...

We don't need someone crazy.

We found an engraving on the stem of a 200 year old pipe.

We getting closer?

We go on.

We got a tip several days ago

We got one in custody. Gates, you're a hard man to find.

We had to guess your sizes.

We have a clean room environment all set up.

We have scans of the originals.

We keep our focus on Gates.

We look kind of conspicuous, don't you think?

We look through it.

We made lan believe he could have the treasure.

We may find the specific time.

We missed it.

We own video.

We played poker together, lan. You know I can't bluff.

We probably have our own satellite by now.

We should be getting very close.

We stop him.

We would be able to tell you for certain if it were actually in any danger.

We'll get through this with as little frustration as possible.

We'll have to arrange a way to examine it.

We'll still be trapped, and he'll shoot us then.

We're all gonna die.

We're all set in here.

We're in the company of some of the most brilliant minds in history,

We're in the elevator.

We're in.

We're more like treasure protectors.

We're on him.

We're right under the Trinity graveyard.

We've got it.

We've got some interference on Gates' mike, sir.

We've got you on kidnapping, attempted murder

Welcome to New Jersey.

Well done, boys. Let's go.

Well done, Gates. Well done.

Well, good night.

Well, have a seat. Make yourselves comfortable.

Well, here, I have this diver's watch.

Well, if Ian...

Well, if you've got a helicopter, I think I can help with that.

Well, it's the same story I tried to tell you guys

Well, John Pass and John Stow cast the bell.

Well, l can think of a way where we could find out.

Well, l guess I better work on it too, then.

Well, l thought the cipher was the map.

Well, l'm no expert, but...

Well, l'm sure l don't know what you mean.

Well, l'm sure not against you, if that's what you're asking.

Well, lan has nearly unlimited resources. And he's smart.

Well, maybe that's the real Gates family legacy.

Well, my father thinks I've been a little too cavalier in my personal life.

Well, not to be a noodge,

Well, on that subject, thank you for your wonderful gift.

Well, that's it. It doesn't make any sense,

Well, then my father would say you've been a little too cavalier

Well, unvolunteer, before you waste your life.

Well, use your imagination.

Well, we don't want them to have the Declaration, or the glasses.

Well, we probably deserve that.

Well, why don't you ask Dr. Chase and Riley to join us?

Well, wouldn't I have told you if I did?

Well, you can believe what you want. You're a grown person.

Well, you can't shoot me. There's more to the riddle.

Well, you figured out the clue.

Well, you needed it.

Well, you're certain the treasure is real, despite what anyone else thinks.

Well?

Well...

What am I doing?

What are you gonna do? Are you gonna shoot me, Shaw?

What are you talking... Is it heavy?

What do we do about her? I've got some duct tape in the back.

What do we do?

What do you care? You got the girl.

What do you got for me?

What do you have? Him?

What do you see?

What do you think you're gonna find?

What do you think? I'm a hostage.

What happens when the flare burns down?

What if there's another clue?

What if we lied?

What in the world did this guy want to be when he grew up?

What is it?

What is it? ls it a treasure map?

What is that?

What is this?

What l know is that daylight savings wasn't established until World War l.

What led you to assume there's this invisible map?

What legend?

What the devil's going on up there?

What the...

What they knew was right.

What time? What time?

What was that?

What was the secret?

What we have here, my friend, is an entire layout of the archives.

What?

What? Why not?

What's going on?

What's this?

When asked about it, he said,

When knights from the First Crusade

When the guards are distracted by the VIPs upstairs.

When they're not on display or in the vault.

Where are they?

Where are you, Ben?

Where the timely shadow crosses in front of the Liberty Bell.

Where there's much less security.

Where Thomas Newton hung a lantern in the steeple,

Where?

Where's the party?

Which was exactly its purpose,

While l sit on one percent.

Who was shooting, who were they shooting at,

Who, baldy? Yes.

Who? Any questions?

Who's Charlotte?

Who's got him? Who's got Gates?

Who's shooting?

Who's the stiff? Here, why don't you let me take that?

Whoa!

Why are we stopping? I thought we were looking for a ship.

Why can't they just say, Go to this place,

Why do you have to do that?

Why do you need them?

Why does that never happen to me?

Why don't you just pass me that document?

Why is this word capitalized?

Why would the captain be guarding this barrel?

Why? Because it's the biggest library in the world.

Will somebody please explain to me what these magic numbers are?

With a strange looking goatee.

With nothing more than dog sleds and on foot.

With the assistance of Mr. Riley Poole.

Without paying.

Would you?

Wow. Look at the elevators.

Written 1722.

Yeah, and that'll lead you to another clue.

Yeah, bring us back something.

Yeah, but l didn't think I was gonna personally have to tell my dad about it.

Yeah, hello.

Yeah, here. S T O W.

Yeah, I know about the glasses.

Yeah, it's about the treasure.

Yeah, okay. You all right?

Yeah, probably.

Yeah, someone that did something in history and had fun.

Yeah, we both are.

Yeah, well, l'm not all right.

Yeah!

Yeah. Nine, for sure.

Yeah. That would be a big problem. Take care of her.

Yeah. The aliens helped them.

Yeah. The key in Silence undetected.

Yeah. You got it, Chief. Thank you. Bye.

Yes, Agent Hendricks? You have something?

Yes, l am. l'm not letting it out of my sight, so I'm going.

Yes, l can. Unless Ben tells me the next clue.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes!

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. And it's very delicate.

You are gonna go to prison, you know that?

You can have it. And the glasses.

You can say your goodbyes.

You can't seriously intend to run chemical tests

You did it, Ben. For all of us.

You disappoint me, Ben.

You do know you just handed me your biggest bargaining chip?

You don't even know if there is another clue.

You don't know this?

You don't think mine are limited to writing cheques, do you?

You gonna untie me?

You got a light?

You got about one...

You handled that well.

You have the original Silence Dogood letters?

You help us find it, and you still go to prison for a very long time,

You know something? You're shouting again.

You know the key to running a convincing bluff?

You know what that dollar represents?

You know what? Here. Last one. Okay?

You know what? l take it back. You're not liars. You're insane.

You know where it is.

You know, Agent Sadusky, something l've noticed about fishing,

You know, get off the road, take a right.

You know, I chose this estate because in 1812 Charles Carroll met...

You know, I really couldn't accept something like that normally, but...

You know, it's just by sheer happenstance

You know, the Templars and the Freemasons believed

You know, Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times

You make the call on the finder's fee.

You might get away, you might not.

You need a reagent.

You need to know

You really don't understand the concept of a bargaining chip.

You see, the knights who found the vaults

You shoot me, l drop this, we all go up.

You should be able to rub this treasure in their arrogant faces,

You should know the story.

You shouldn't have told me where you were going.

You stole it?

You take upon yourself the duty of the Templars, the Freemasons

You want something?

You want to go around to the front and present your invitation.

You would have found it, I have no doubt.

You'd do well, Dr. Chase, to be a bit more civilised in this instance.

You're all right, yeah? I mean you're safe?

You're gonna have to show lD. Go ahead, man.

You're missing the 1789 inaugural, though.

You're not going with the Declaration.

You're not playing games with me, are you, Ben?

You're not supposed to be up here, looking at that.

You're old enough, l suppose.

You're sure this is right?

You're that family with the conspiracy theory about the Founding Fathers?

You're treasure hunters, aren't you?

You're under arrest, Mr. Howe.

You've got construction orders, phone lines,

You've spent your entire life searching for this treasure,

Your dad's got a sweet ride.

Your grandfather, and all of us.

Your humble servant, Silence Dogood.

3:22. My idea.

57.

180 years of searching, and l'm three feet away.

A map. A map?

A map. Yes, ma'am.

A treasure map? That's where we lost the FBl.

Abigail Chase. Paul Brown.

All agents, report in. I can't see. My position is taken.

An encryption, like a code? Yes, ma'am.

and given its own... ldiot.

And where to find lan. And where is that?

Another clue... No, there are no more clues!

Are you hungry? What?

based on a painting done in... Hello.

Ben, l'm sorry. We'll be fine.

Ben, there's another tour coming. Turn it over.

Ben, you know what you have to do. l know what to do.

By you? No, by lan. l stole it to stop him.

Can you hear me? Unfortunately, yeah.

Can you imagine? lt's extraordinary.

Careful. Spectacles.

Chained to a desk. Sorry to hear that.

Come on. Follow me.

Come on. PATRlCK: lan!

Could you please be careful? l've got it.

Dad. ...even found them.

Dad. ...of The New England Courant.

Damn. He's got the bloody map!

Did Bigfoot take it? lt was nice meeting you.

Did he talk to him? No. He never got the chance.

Did you enjoy the party? Yeah.

Did you get it? Riley? l got it.

Divers are a go. Snipers, go to action zebra.

Do not lose sight of primary mark. Brian, you're clear with NYPD.

Do you trust me? Yes.

Do you want something? Shut up.

Don't speak again. Okay.

Elf gov ray. It's Valley Forge.

for the incandescent light bulb. Edison?

For this? Yeah.

from an old piece of wood. Okay, I'll tell you what.

Gates is on the flight deck. Eyes on Gates.

Genius. Who were those men?

Give me that! lt's yours. Take it.

Give me that! You're still shouting.

Good night. Good night.

Hello. Hi, sweetie.

Help! No!

Here you go. Dr. Herbert, this is Mr. Brown.

Hey, not cool! Not cool! Let me go!

Hi. Hi there.

Him! Ben!

How may l help you? Your accent. Pennsylvania Dutch?

How may l help you? Your accent. Pennsylvania Dutch?

How's it going? Howdy.

Just like that? Just like that.

Knock it off, Dad. Sure, sure, I know, I'm the family kook.

l could... Come on.

l don't see any ship. She's out there.

l don't think so. Ben...

l found one once. That's very fortunate for you.

l have a visual. Gates.

l know. Oh, my God.

l lost my feed. What?

l made something for you. You did? What?

l repeat, pursue at own risk. You first.

l see. Let me ask you something.

l will. l will.

l'm here. Give me the letters for her password.

l'm not sure. What's up?

Let him go, lan. When we find the treasure.

Let's go. Riley, you're a genius.

Let's walk this way. Wait up.

Literally. l volunteered.

Lock it in. Are we set?

ls it a million dollar pipe? No, it's a clue.

ls it? More clues. What a surprise.

lt's a souvenir. Really?

lt's an Ottendorf cipher. That's right.

lt's not a conspiracy theory. Per se.

lt's popular with bush pilots. All right.

lt's true. lt's true.

lt's... It's a bad omen. Shall we turn around and go home?

May I see the pipe? We don't have it.

Me. What?

Mr. Brown. Dr. Chase.

Nice to meet you. Bill.

No idea what you said. lt means, if there's something wrong,

No! There's no other way out!

No... Security! Over here!

Not bad. Mazel tov.

Of what? A cartograph.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God! You did not...

Oh, no! Holy Lord!

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, you did get it? Good. Yes, thank you.

Okay, I'm on my way. Out of the way!

Okay? All right. ABlGAlL: Okay.

on the pipe that Bigfoot took. Hi.

On. Door one. 30 seconds.

Once we catch them what do we do? l'm working on it.

One more dollar. Thank you.

Over here! Security! Got you.

Park a couple of blocks away. How long do you think we got?

Promise you won't be any trouble? l promise.

Quiet, please. How'd you get scans?

Really? We can't go back there.

Really? We can't go back there.

Right. ...in case of cave ins.

Right. What time?

Riley! All right.

Security, over here! Wait. No, hold it.

Shaw, look. There's the others. l got it.

She lost it? They don't have it.

So we called him and made a deal. Well, you're...

So what do we do? We separate the lock from the key.

So what'd it say? Heere at the wall.

So you can take that off his hands. ABlGAlL: Thank you.

Someone's got to go to prison, Ben. Yeah.

Thank you. Hey, you have to take us with you.

Thank you. Mr. Brown?

Thank you. No!

That's a lot. l don't make the prices.

That's a newspaper. Dad, where are the letters?

That's fun. Yeah, big whoop.

That's it? That's it.

That's... Go! Go!

The back of what? Whoa!

The lantern is the clue. And what does it mean?

The lantern. Dad...
