(FOOTSTEPS)
I have found the ancient Mayan temple.
Here, the ancient power of the shrine,
will be safe from the treachery of thieves.
(EXPLOSION)
You cannot hide from me forever, Padre.
Madiero!
MAN: The priest is gone!
We must find him.
The gang is breaking up.
I cannot hold them together without the power.
Vamos!
I must hide the map.
I cannot let Madiero find it.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
(PEOPLE SPEAKING SPANISH)
(SIZZLING)
One enchilada, por favor.
(CHOPPING)
We interrupt this program for a news update from Merida, Mexico.
The police have had no luck apprehending the bandits
who recently committed a sudden rash of robberies,
but have not struck again for more than a week.
There are no leads to the thieves' whereabouts,
only a rumor that they seem to possess some strange power.
Miyagi think we come to right place.
TAKI: It has been three days since you put the ad in the newspaper,
and no one has contacted us yet.
If rumor someone stole shrine from thieves true,
maybe that someone want to sell shrine to us.
We wait a little longer, Taki- san .
I sure hope you're right.
Mr. Miyagi, I can't take this anymore.
I've been chopping onions for three days now.
My eyes are burning like crazy.
Good time for lesson.
Daniel- san , rest eyes,
learn use other senses.
Hey! What are you doing? I can't see a thing!
Close mouth, use ears.
Now, chop, chop.
Ouch!
This will never work.
Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!
I did it, Mr. Miyagi. I'm a natural.
Hey, watch this.
(SQUISHING)
One tostada with extratomatoes.
Daniel La Russo, why are you playing with the food?
I'm not playing, it's a lesson.
I'm developing my other senses.
Daniel- san make no sense at all.
Ah, give me a break Mr. Miyagi, I don't have eyes in the back of my head.
This true, so must develop other ways to see enemy.
Ah! Hey!
Por favor, senor , I'm only a poor man living off the scraps of others.
Here, buy yourself dinner.
Gracias, senor. Perhaps someday I can reward you for your kindness.
Hey Mr. Miyagi, how did you know he was there?
Miyagi use nose.
Beggar smell like dirty gym socks.
(GASPS) (DISHES BREAKING)
Hey! Be careful!
Oh, excuse me, Padre.
Senor Miyagi, I must find him.
The shrine! You know where it is?
There is a map hidden away. This key opens
Look out!
Show me where you have hidden the power!
Never. The ancient spirit was not made for the hands of evil men.
Don't think he have dinner reservations.
(HORSE NEIGHING)
Mr. Miyagi, the priest! He said he has a map to the shrine.
We must rescue him!
Daniel, look! The priest!
I've gotta help even the odds.
Hyah!
Ow!
All right!
Whoa! Easy, girl!
Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa, hey!
Hey! Hey!
Ah!
Oh, I better stick to karate.
Uh, por favor, senor.
Senorita , the key to the map, it is under the blue parrot.
(HORSE NEIGHING)
Hyah!
Oh!
I tried to warn you, mister.
Oh!
This time I will get you, muchachito!
I can't see. I've got to use my other senses.
(SNIFFING)
Okay, garlic breath, I've got you now!
(CRASHING)
(SMASHING)
(SCREAMING)
Hot sauce!
Hey, where did you learn that move, Mr. Miyagi?
Three Stooges.
(HORSES NEIGHING) (PEOPLE COUGHING)
I will take care of you later!
Did you do that, Mr. Miyagi?
Not my style.
DANIEL: Hey, you!
I said you would be rewarded for your kindness to me.
That was pretty clever.
I bet if he put his mind to it, he could be more than a poor beggar.
Miyagi think Daniel- san right.
Ah!
MIYAGI: Dirty beggar have clean fingernails.
You got me, old man.
Uncle Jack! I can't believe it!
Like my disguise? Had you fooled, didn't I, kid?
You sure did.
Mr. Miyagi, this is my Uncle Jack,
the secret agent, you know, like James Bond.
MIYAGI: Pleased to meet.
Are you in Mexico on an assignment?
Yeah, top secret.
TAKI: Daniel, Mr. Miyagi, I saw the priest!
He said the key was under the blue parrot.
Then the man on the horse chased him away.
What could the clue mean, Mr. Miyagi?
I could tell you that, young lady.
He's my Uncle Jack, Taki.
You know what the words mean?
Yeah, the Blue Parrot Inn, a place you want to stay out of.
Toughest bunch of cutthroats this side of the Rio Grande.
Of course, they're nothing a La Russo can't handle, right kid?
We go. Lead way, Uncle Jack.
(ROWDY CHATTER)
DANIEL: These guys look like they eat nails for breakfast.
What should we do first?
Say "Buneos dias."
That's not how to deal with these characters.
You got to speak their language.
Come on, Daniel, let's go find out what's under this joint.
Now what, Mr. Miyagi?
Miyagi think more than one meaning to "under blue parrot."
What will you have, senor ?
I'm looking for a key. A little birdie told me that it was under the blue parrot.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Come on, what's down there?
A gambling den, a wine cellar? Spill the beans, amigo.
I don't like nosy gringos in my place.
Uh oh.
Come on, senor. This nosy gringo is going to ask you only one more time.
Hyah!
Uh, Uncle Jack!
(YELLING)
DANIEL: Are you sure we should be doing this, Uncle Jack?
Don't sweat it kid, we're doing great.
Do you really think the key's under one of these parrots, Mr. Miyagi?
Whoa!
Phew!
Soon find out.
How about we have a glass of lemonade and talk this over?
Gracias.
No key under here.
(GASPS)
Have refreshment. This thirsty work.
(GROANING)
Hyah!
Glad I could help you out, grandpa.
Hey, look what I found. Your key.
Your key. I found it right here, under the floorboards, just like I figured.
Nice going, Uncle Jack.
I guess you were wrong, Mr. Miyagi.
Miyagi not perfect.
Aw, come on, Mr. Miyagi, admit it.
My uncle's as good at getting results as you are.
Getting results, easy. Question is, what kind of results?
We've got to find out what that key fits.
It leads to the map which will guide us to the shrine.
Best way find out about key, find out about priest.
Maybe have church nearby.
Mind if I tag along? It looks like you could use my help.
Hey! That'd be great, Uncle Jack.
Follow them. Find out where they're going and report to Madiero.
(BELL RINGING)
MAN: The key is to Padre Alvarez's desk. I will show you.
Come on, Uncle Jack.
You go on. I'm gonna make sure those banditos don't try an ambush.
MAN: The bandit Madiero was using the power of the statue
to turn honest men into a gang of thieves.
So, the Padre stole the statue from Madiero,
and hid it away in one of the ancient Mayan temples nearby.
No wonder there's a map.
This place is crawling with booby traps.
There's the entrance.
Ugh!
You're the Bear, the most notorious smuggler in the world.
Heh, heh. I hope I can live up to my reputation.
I saw you make an impression of the key at the Blue Parrot.
I see you made a copy.
Nice idea. I appreciate all the work you've done for me.
Adios .
You must promise to find Padre Alvarez. He is a good man.
We try.
Oh, no!
The map, it is gone!
Daniel, come quick!
The Bear's stolen your map!
He's a big-time smuggler I've been tracking for weeks.
Hurry! We can still catch him.
Come on, Mr. Miyagi, let's go!
Miyagi think Daniel- san leap before look.
I worry Uncle jack on fast road to dead end.
Oh yeah? Well, I think you're jealous that my uncle's ways work just as good as yours.
Attaboy, Danny. Let's go.
You're a La Russo, all right.
We have to follow.
We cannot let that smuggler get the shrine.
(MADIERO LAUGHING)
Going somewhere, amigos?
(WILD LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHING)
Perhaps a small lesson would teach you better manners.
They're getting closer, Mr. Miyagi.
You have to think of something.
Hyah!
Time to use feet, not head.
Oh!
You sure are acting jumpy, Uncle Jack.
Is something wrong?
Can't be too careful, kid.
I've studied up on these Mayans.
They're notorious for putting traps in their temples.
Traps? You didn't say anything about traps.
But what kind of traps?
Don't know. Just keep those senses tuned,
and I'm sure we'll stay one step ahead of them.
(GULPS)
Right. (GULPS)
Now it should be safe to pass.
Keep your eyes peeled, kid. Easy.
Wait! I thought I heard something!
I guess it was nothing.
Ahh! I can't see!
(GRUNTS)
(YELLS)
Daniel, look out! The floor is splitting under you!
Ahh!
(GRUNTS)
Mr. Miyagi would say, "Focus, Daniel- san ."
Let your hands be your eyes.
That's it, you can do it, kid.
Don't lose it.
Ugh.
Ugh!
JACK: You're almost to the other side.
(GRUNTS)
JACK: You did it, Daniel!
Nice going, kid.
Ah, I'm starting to get my vision back.
Uncle Jack, I found a rope.
You can swing across.
Just don't look at the light.
(STRAINING)
Come on, we've got to stop the Bear before he gets the shrine.
We are too late.
Oh, Mr. Miyagi, do you think Daniel
No give up hope, Taki- san . Daniel- san have strong heart.
Look, Daniel!
(LAUGHING) This will be worth millions on the black market.
No, I can't let him get the shrine.
Big mistake!
(SHATTERING)
Would have been last mistake.
The real altar is over there.
That must be where we saw the Bear take the shrine.
Oh no, we must hurry!
This is all my fault, Daniel, I could have got you killed.
It's okay, Uncle Jack.
No, you don't understand. Listen to me, Daniel.
All those tall tales I told you about your hero Uncle Jack were a pack of lies.
I'm no secret agent.
I don't get it, what do you mean?
I'm just a file clerk. That's how I found out about the shrine.
The Agency keeps track of all kinds of strange rumors,
you know, like flying saucers and stuff like that.
When your mother told me you were looking for this lost ancient artifact,
I saw my big chance.
If I could find it and turn it over to the Agency, I'd be big news.
You mean you were after the shrine all along?
Yeah, I was a selfish chump.
I tried to use your skills to get me through the traps.
Can you ever forgive me, Daniel?
Hey, chump runs in the family.
I was ready to cash in everything Mr. Miyagi taught me
for a reckless shot at finding the shrine.
Chumps apologize later. Must recover shrine.
Gracias, senor. You have made my journey easier.
No! This shrine is mine!
Ahh!
Oh!
Ah, I feel the power in my veins!
Si, si. The power makes us feel strong.
PADRE: I have feared this moment.
The shrine is the spark Madiero needs to bring out the evil in others.
There are too many of them, Mr. Miyagi. What can we do?
Catch leader. Rest will follow.
Si , then I think the others would go home.
Ok. What are we waiting for? Let's jump them.
Uh, right, too dangerous. Your move, Miyagi.
Long live Madiero!
(LAUGHING)
We will rule! All the people will cower at our feet.
I'm invincible!
MIYAGI: Miyagi think full of baloney.
(HORSE NEIGHING)
Ahh!
Ahh!
It's not wise to interfere with Madiero.
Ugh!
Madiero is defeated. The power is gone.
Return to your homes!
Vayan!
(HORSES NEIGHING)
I've learned my lesson, kid.
I'm going back to the Agency and doing my homework.
Work my way up.
Next time we meet, no fairy tales. I'll be telling you real secret agent stories.
I'll be looking forward to it, Uncle Jack.
