Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Nicolas Cage set for Spider-Noir, True Detective, & beyond, John & Coy RETURN to give their National Treasure 2 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Ending Explained & Spoiler Review! Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey react to National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007), the high-energy action–adventure sequel directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice). Continuing the treasure-hunting legacy of the first film, this follow-up sends the Gates family across continents on a larger, riskier, and even more historical puzzle-solving mission. Nicolas Cage (Face/Off, Con Air) returns as Benjamin Franklin Gates, who becomes determined to clear his family’s name after a mysterious page from John Wilkes Booth’s diary implicates his ancestor in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Joined once again by Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds, Troy) as Dr. Abigail Chase and Justin Bartha (The Hangover, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) as the hilariously resourceful Riley Poole, the trio embarks on a globe-spanning quest that leads them from Paris to London to Mount Rushmore. The sequel expands with a standout supporting cast including Ed Harris (The Rock, Westworld) as villainous treasure hunter Mitch Wilkinson, Jon Voight (Mission: Impossible, Ray Donovan) as Ben’s father Patrick Gates, Helen Mirren (The Queen, RED) as Ben’s brilliant historian mother Dr. Emily Appleton, and Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Taxi Driver) returning as FBI Agent Sadusky. Packed with fun riddles, historical twists, and chaotic chemistry from its cast, Book of Secrets remains one of Disney’s most entertaining modern adventure films — the perfect blend of humor, mystery, and bold, blockbuster-scale treasure hunting.

Reject Nation, we are about to dive in to a national treasure. And no. We're not talking about Nick Cage. We're not talking about a book of secrets. We're about to dive into an Ed Harris movie. Ed Harris Surprise. That's right. Last week. That's what we learned last time. Cut to the previously.

That's all I needed to know, and I am 20 times more excited for Book of Secrets. Very excited to find out what those secrets are. And if it's adjacent to the Book of Shadows, which is what I always want to call this movie. I feel like the occult sequel, the third one, is the crossover, like Ninnett and Black and 21 Jump Street that never was to be. Found footage National Treasure. That's where I'd watch just Nicholas Cage running through D.C. Like Paul Greengrass, like, oh, can't stop filming! Gotta save the Declaration again.

Yeah, I'm excited. I don't know what they're saving. I don't know what he did with his billions in gold. We're going to find out. That movie had a pretty definitive ending, but who knows what other things are needed to be protected. Without further ado, but before the movie itself, I do want to say, if you want to head over to Patreon

and watch this in its entirety and discover the secrets of the edit, if you want to see the things in between the scenes of John and I just existing, like you're watching it with us next to us on the couch, head over to Patreon. You, only you get that over a Patreon. There's also exclusive watch logs that John and Greg do just for said patrons. You also get 15% off teas like these, as well as all sorts of glory. He's about to strip for you. That's just for you.

That's just for... I made $20 stripping at Universal Studios. Did you? Worth it? It was very worth it. It was a great moment. And I've always kept it close to my heart. Thanks to shouts out to that, to that couple on a date in the express line.

Worth it. from Dust to Donmes. Someone's got a story that will never know the full sides of. Now, without further ado, let's see what Ed Harris is doing. In National Treasure 2,

Book of Secret Shadows. Oh, I like that title card. Look at that. It's very ancient, not ancient looking. It's very, you know, classic looking. Revolutionary War,

we got some beautiful music. oh sorry civil war i didn't see the date just catching my brain up with the titles and i was like that's not right 1776 1875 a little different leave your favorite like history digest what's your favorite war what's your favorite i want to catch up on the social studies i've forgotten from you know my youth that's what i get for not reading a date i wanted no actual history are you Thomas gates yes we got something that we'd like you to take a look at it's a gates it's a gates it's a coded message Well, don't help the spies. You don't know what side they're on.

That cipher is impossible to decode without the key. I believe what you need is right there. Oh. Take some time. Yeah, dude, you should have examined the page more. Perhaps read when you're deciphering. Oh, you don't even need to wait. Looks like he's going to crack this thing in a few minutes.

I feel deception afoot. You're sure to hit the mark in just about most things as well as shoot. Oh, no. Is he about to decode the assassination of Lincoln? Oh, is that Booth? Old John Wilkes doing the reshaping of American history in horrible way and moments away. Segway to Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Whoa.

We're doing this thing. The pop of those old guns. Sick. Semper. Taranus. Damn, dude. Do like the frantic, you know, visual language. The handheld's pretty good. gold gold

where King Solomon's temples KGC your nights is a golden circle you're a traitor you're all traitors

well you should have investigated that first yeah you gotta ask who's bringing you the thing everybody out all you

old man Gates looks in looks familiar he does I love his mutton chops too if you'd finish deciphering that code

now also this dude get out of there yeah that guy's that guy Dad! The war is over! Oh, so said the sweet guy.

Good man. Oh, no. Whoa! Damn, that blue glow in his eyes. You're wrong about that. The war has only just begun. Oh, sinister. Did all men pay?

They did all men pay? Dad, no, please! The pop of old guns is... So unnerving. The killers may have... Found a vast treasure of gold. Treasure. May well have lost the Civil War.

Thank you. He needed to be protected. My grandpappy saved the war. I'd like to thank Ben and Patrick Gates. He's vindicated. Oh, look at that. They get along now. Dude, he was the little boy in the last scene.

He's that old. In the 1800s. In 1875. I have a question I'd like to ask. What do you think ever happened to that booth diary page that was pulled out of the fire? It's him. We may never know. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I see why you're excited. The voice I should have known. That voice. Look at that man. You see, I have one of those great, great granddad is just like you. Way up in my family tree named As Silas Wilkinson. Still hanging there today. As Silas tells it, it was Thomas who called the meeting.

A meeting to plan the assassination of Lincoln. How absurd. That's a lie. Whoa. I present to you one of the missing pages from the infamous diary of John Wilkes Booth with the name Thomas God. Gates, written on a list. Dang, dude.

He's got to save the treasure of his family legacy. Yeah. Booth was a student of Latin. He shouted Sikh Semper Taranus after he shot Lincoln. Thus always the tyrants, we know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're calling my grandfather a liar. With all due respect, so now you're calling my great-great-granddaddy a liar.

Yes, sir, I am. My great-granddaddy could beat up your great-granddaddy. My grandfather told me this story himself. I saw the truth of it in his eyes. I'm sorry, sir. truly in. God, story from your grandfather. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, it's crazy how recent

all this was when you actually think about it. Like, we're such a baby nation. We'll test this thoroughly, Patrick, to authenticate it. I can't be. Maps to President's houses. Keys. To locks that don't exist. Tough day for the gates. All their keys to locks that don't exist.

Oh, all that money, but morale's broken. Dude, he just found his D-12 collection. Oh, wow. Is this a book about the Templar treasure? Yes. There he is. He's back and acknowledging his wealth. The author's here signing copies? I'm the author.

You are. Oh. Yeah. See, there's a picture of me right there. A picture's so good. Oh, golly. I thought that guy, Benjamin Gates, was the one that found the treasure. Well, yes, but I am the co-finder.

I've never heard of you. Oh. No. Well, you will have, once you've read the book. Oh. Oh, my gosh. Are you, Ben Gates? Yes.

Oh, my God. Do you have a T-Rex skull in your castle? Do you have a red Ferrari? Yes, I do. Well, it's being towed. Oh, Ben Gates. You've got to pay your back taxes or something. Don't worry. It'll take off eventually.

$200,000 missed payment. My accountant set up a corporation on an island that didn't exist. Oh, crap. You want to know what taxes are on $5 million? $6 million. Wow, dude. But enough about me. What's new with you?

My girlfriend kicked me out. I'm living with my dad, and my family killed President Lincoln. All right. Casual Tuesday. Wait, they're just casually gonna have him living with his dad? I can't believe you have to break into your own house. I need to get Abigail's ID badge. She has access to the booth diary page.

All right, we're already off to the race. Yeah, I mean, the first one's pacing was like... First one, like, had a whip-crack pace, but I feel like there was more of a prologue. That's true. This is just diving in. They trust us. We know the characters. Yeah, and we want to see them do national treasure shit, all right? Yeah, high stuff, including her own home.

What happened with you and Abigail? She started using the word so a lot. What? General so. So, you seem to always know what's best. So, I guess I'm invisible. And now I've moved out, and we're dividing the furniture. Women. Oh, disarmed.

You do that in 25 seconds. That's why I tell people to get a dog. Yes, dog, women, interchangeable. I think a man a dog can't be decoded in 25 seconds. Oh, this is a protective dog. That's I interpreted. I mean, I'm wrong. I'm vibrating on a low level boy.

I was thinking a dog is offense. Uh-oh, uh-oh, the other guy. Isn't that guy? Oh, that guy, that droll fellow. I know. Oh, I like this she is back, though. What are you doing here? Yeah, same. I thought they didn't have her because...

I thought they were about to justify not having her back. Yeah, at all. That's guy. Riley, come out here. Can't be the first time this is happening. What do you doing here? You're the White House curator. Oh, right.

You're a Ben's assistant. And now we know him. Yeah, White House guy. Ty Burrell, there we go. Thank you. That's the name. Dinner? Tomorrow?

Doing various things. I actually already have plans for tomorrow. Are you do? Yeah. Oh. on friday awkward oh great oh snaprooney so much has changed what you take it's just my things maybe the national treasurer is getting her back that's what it is it's romance it's love come on abigail one look under infrared you can have the boston tea tables

That's such funny divorce negotiation. There's nothing there. We'll get it this way. In a hundred years, no one's gonna remember anyone involved in the Lincoln assassination besides Booth. Do you know the expression his name is mud? Yes, of course. Do you know the origin of the expression?

Does anyone but you? Dr. Samuel Mudd was convicted of being a co-conspirator in the Lincoln assassination. That's crazy. I didn't know that. The evidence was circumstantial. He was later pardoned, but it didn't matter. Mudd's name still lives in infamy, and I will not let Thomas Gates' name be Mudd. Wow. I did not know that.

Ben. Oh, that's quite something, is it? Yeah, it says smudge. It's nothing. It's a door. Residual aim from the facing page, flip it. The letters are backwards. Zoom in, Enhance.

Zoom in Enhance, Science Edition. This could prove his story. All we need is a file. five-letter keyword. What's the key word? I don't know yet. There's a billion words in English language. There's got to be logical. Let's start from the beginning.

Apple. I don't think this is going to stop Dr. Nichols from announcing the discovery of the page tomorrow. Can you just ask him to wait until I prove Thomas is innocent? Oh my. I'm sure he will. Ed Harris is usually a patient man. What if he is an innocent? Man.

You got to do this tonight. She already doesn't believe in your family. That is rough. Yeah, man. Jay Edgar. Sir. He's back. I'm in a friend Ben Gates is in the news again.

What do you find now? Atlantis? Guy claims he had this page for 140 years and just suddenly comes forward with it. Yeah, waits until his grandson gets famous. We'll find out. Better. Bacon.

Bacon. Ha-ha. Keep going. That's stupid. Stupid. They're playing Wordle back in early 2000s. That's a six-letter word. I'm stupid.

They are playing wordle. It's the most high-stakes game of Whartle ever. You know the truth. You heard the story from Grandpa Charles. The story. This guy's got evidence. He's got everything. Look how learned that library looks.

For one brief moment, the Gates family can hold its head up. Now we're a bunch of crazies. But we're not liars. The crazies. Good movie. He burned the page to keep Booth's men from finding a treasure, and that's what we're going to prove. There's only one way to prove it. You have to find the treasure.

You've got to find it. And you're going to help me find it. Uh-huh. son's hand. Aw. He looked him in the eye and he said, with his dying breath, the debt that all men pay. Well, that's five letters. Oh, oh, whoa.

The A-T-H. The game is afoot. Try death. What? It's the key code. The debt that all men pay is death. Death. I knew it.

Seconds before it was announced, I thought, you should be a renowned treasure hunter. I am ready to treasure hunt with Wardle only. That means I'm just. and Bartha, all right. There it is. You're ready. I'll be here. I'm readying a quick as we speak. You get a Ferrari for a couple months. I do and a book. It's gibberish. Labelais. Labelais. What is that?

Labelais. Where's the phone? I was going to say it first. This time he stays a little more ignorant. They don't try to make him smart and then dumb. The last time I was like, what's his speciality? I was actually going to call you about the diary page. Any news? Well, we actually found some latent letter frankness on it.

What do we got? Random letters. A cipher. Maybe. Gates seen this. It's actually the one I discovered it. Of course he is. You should assume that already.

Hey, what? We correct the cipher. It's Lobelay. The cypher spells Lobelay. Don't tell him. Lobelay was well known in France. It could be nothing. Oh, no.

He's listening. Or maybe there was a treasure map like Thomas Gates said there was, and LaBelay had it. Don't say it in front of that Harris. You can never trust Ed Harris. Do you know what Lobelay was planning right? around the time Lincoln was assassinated. I forgot about it. There's a map or a clue to a map on the statute.

Oh, no. She hung up. Well, I couldn't help it over here. Lobelais, as in Edward Labelais. You should know better Diane Kruger. He was a man who had the idea for the Statue of Liberty. Oh, new landmarks. My family's descended from Confederate General Albert Plank.

Oh, damn. He was a remarkable man. But then again, what is history, but a marker for the deeds of great men? This is a smear campaign from the 1800s. So the only question is, which statue of liberty exactly is there more than one yeah dude there's the little one

there are three actually Riley one is in New York one in the Luxembourg garden but he only refer to one as his lady a ah two for two in gay Perry I am doing the solving

there's now one in Vegas but that hardly counts yeah I've been to three of four I've been to one of four I've been to one of four I went to Paris Vegas and New York all in eight days and I took a picture of each of them I was In one week, I did National Treasure. Dude, you're a Gates.

Yeah, I'm a Gates. Coy, Jean-Roe Gates. Let me get there. Not as easy as it looks. No, I don't. That is two for two, though. I just want to say. Yeah, you have a drone license.

Wow, that is an excellent camera. Wow, fucking 8K. I got it. I hope you read French. May I? Treasurer. Don't say it in front of the Frenchmen. They are not good at secrets.

They're her buddies now. They helped us win some wars. I guess he's translating. They helped us have America. Across the sea, these twins stand resolute. Resolute, yeah. To preserve what we are looking for. La Boulet 1876.

Six. The other cop. Six. Let's see. Resolute twins. I like this. HMS Resolute. A British ship that got lost in the Arctic.

And it had a twin. Oh, that's cool. Two desks from its timbers. One resolute twins. Ah! Where are those desks now? The closest one is in London. Smoke's about to start kind of...

Amazing. That was fantastic. He's going to call you a cab. This is a very charming bit. It really is. Nice helicopter. Is that yours? Yes, actually, it is.

Okay, so you get the ticket. Great. And then they take it. ticketed them. We helped out the economy. So what does a black market and a tickerese dealer give up a rare Civil War artifact? Something he could sell to a private collector for

a good deal of money. Because he wants to restore his own family legacy and rewrite history. Oh no! Not John Voight's Noggin! Imagine like hitting an old man. That's a certain kind of evil. Yeah, man. Stealing his Motorola Razor. Damn. I never got to have one.

What? No, I never had a razor or a sidekick. My goal is to have a work phone and a dumb phone. I want to be like John and only text back sporadically when it really counts. I'm working on that. It's okay. I'm trying to be more like John. When I take my Adderall, I'm okay.

I have 862 voicemails. That's my crime. So the Queen's office is here. The elevator is to get you close. A thousand what? Jesus. That should be exciting. Yeah, we've got to get you in that room.

Got to get you in there. We should repel you in via wire. The house was broken into. Last night, I was attacked. Call the police. I'm coming home. They didn't take anything. And besides, I'm fine.

Green screen. We're going to Buckingham Palace. We have an appointment with the curator tomorrow afternoon. He's just tracking him like Sean Bean did, but with a phone. He's just like skipping everything. Someone else is after the treasure. Of course someone else is after the treasure. It's the axiom of treasure hunting.

Yes, it is truly. But there's got to be some way in which he's able to anticipate. dissipate them tapping the call that we don't know about yet, but he knows about it. But he knows he's being watched. He's brilliant. He's 11 steps ahead. He's a gates. He is a gates, man.

Okay, it's tea time, chaps. British things. Yeah, because they're in London. Ben. Abigail. Abigail. What's she doing here? What are you doing here?

Your dad called me. Said your next clue was here. How did she get here so fast? Loser. I want to help. That's very nice, but it's kind of a bad time right now. Ha, huh, huh? I just flew all the way to London to offer my help.

And what, now you just, you don't need it. Oh, she flew. I thought she used the secret European express tubes. Ah, yes, of course. Being German, she gets exit. She knows them all. You're the one who's making a scene right now. You know, we want to make a scene.

Well, then fine, I'm wrong again. Wrong about us. you and you mentioned he's taking it outside oh no you take the missus outside I'm staying right here oh my god dude just pop down to the pub

for a pint bit of all right yeah going to detain a blighter for enjoying his whiskey whiskey that's scottish he must have had so much fun

feeling this scene that was brilliant truly we got full cage for even a moment There was, like, a mandate, like, yeah, you just throw in a scene where he goes full gauge. You know, just, just, uh, he didn't see the alphabet, really loud. Boy! Boy!

To love birds, stay put, right? No, no, girl! You know! Imprisoned amongst documents. I'm sorry for getting you roped into this, but you were excellent back there. Oh, thank you. So were you. Oh, good.

Good, good, good. She's like, thanks. I think there may be a clue on the resolute desk in the Queen's study. I'm getting a clue. Does that help? He's so smug about it. Just because you may know what my answer is going to be doesn't mean you don't have to ask me. Oh, yeah.

I like how they're solving their relationship problems through a heist. Oh. What are you doing, Ben? I'm gonna go see the desk without you, bye-bye. Without you. Oh. All right, get in. Get in.

Get in. Way more cage in this one. What? You're wearing the perfume I bought you. Aww. So I think it smells kind of. It's the flowers, Ben. No, it's not.

They have way more chemistry this time. I only half bought it last time, immediately buy them as a divorcing couple, but they're trying to work it together. Riding patterns on the car veins could be anything. Hey, look at this. Malcolm Gilroy. Here we go.

Malcolm Gilvery. Well, he didn't make furniture. He made Chinese puzzle boxes. It's an escape room. room cool what a desk oh you hear that clicking i think these drawers look like tumblers and a scene cool now john's getting his gates invitation so you go one whoa that's so sweet i love his face of smug happiness and like did it Sex.

Uh-oh. New rules. Wow, that's pretty. This looks centuries older than civil war. You gotta get out of there. What do you think it means? Well, I doubt it has anything to do with the plot to assassinate Lincoln. I'm having a remarkable amount of fun. Can you get out of there?

Where am I detainees? Okay, let's make some noise. Bring the noise! The fire alarm's gone off. Uh-oh, God save the queen. Uh-oh, uh-oh. They're engaged. Poor man.

Oh. Excuse me. Comey true. They're at the main gate. Oh, yes, Ed Harris is back. What is there? I went to Buckingham Palace and all I got was his old piece of wood. I wouldn't be holding it out in public.

Oh, no. Yeah. Wilkinson. Wilkinson. Now we're Sean beating. Oh, no. But in London. Wilkinson, Wilkes Booth.

Okay, I'll drive. I don't trust him. They trust. Wilkinson. Yeah, dude, don't trust them. It's a gun, get down! Oh my God, let's do some Mission Impossible shit. Keep your heads down.

Yeah, reverse cam. I gotta say, of all technological advancements, the backup camera is... Essential. Very important. Fantastic innovation. Been an asset. Now you got the Volt, you understand. Yeah, man. Good stunt work.

Oh yeah, we're in the UK. You got to have a Land Rover. Oh, no, the puppies! Ah! Sorry! Oh, a little doggo! Go left, go left! Yep, he's...

And his little gown. Zombies are about to break out. With all that Pepsi. That is a good driver. Good snut work. Full ours! This is a very fun action. This has got an end before someone gets hurt.

You give me what you got at a Bouganham Palace. It won't be necessary. Oh boy. He does. My father. Why are they standing in the middle of the street? You putts. Why is everyone running?

Oh, damn, whoa! He's right there, go, go, go! For a second, just a split second, I was hoping it would become a kaiju movie. Why aren't these people running? The secrets to some ancient creature are hidden. Once they pulled out that thing, it unlocked a creature that's designed to protect the treasure. Oh, a mini just got miniaturized. Unless they royally fumble this, I really hope they make a national treasure three.

Yeah. They're still behind us. Does this phone have a camera in it? No. No, it's broken. All right, give me the plank. Give me the plank. Hang on.

We're gonna run a red light. Ah, ha. Oh no. But the law. Ha! Oh my god! That's... ...that

...theirleased database and get a copy of the picture from that traffic camp. My man! Nicholas K. My man. assume that I can do it. Yes. Why, thank you, Riley. What is that face?

What was that face? He just popped an airhead. He just popped it. No, a warhead. A warhead. I would like that freeze frame. Someone, please. That's got to be a gift.

It was so good. And it held for weirdly long. It's so weird because, yeah, he's doing way more cage stuff. And yet somehow I believe Ben Gates as the character. might be that way. Drive off the bridge. Damn, look like they were really in that car.

Oh, my God. That priceless artifacts floating in the tames? Dude, a little Titanic door. You can float back to shore with it. You got it. What is it? I don't know, but it's ours. Let's go.

Let's go. Octavio. Nice trans-ish. Abigail. Hey, Patrick. Nice to see you two together again. Nice colonial home. Yeah, well, we're not. I was hoping to get some of these boxes out of the house.

Oh, my God. He's such a yelp. I can't read the whole thing, but I can tell you that... It's a funny picture. It really is. These are definitely pre-colonial Native American markings. Easily 500 years old. Easily.

Oh, cool. So it is American, but pre-America. I can't identify one symbol. Look at this. Uh-oh. Do you know what that is? Sacred calendrical? I don't know.

That symbol is Sibola. That's Sibola. Sibola. The city of gold. The city of gold. Crane shot in the house. In 1527, a Spanish ship wrecked on the Florida coast. There were only four survivors.

Oh. Who saved the local tribes dying chief. As a reward, he was taken to their sacred city, a city built from solid gold. How do you make a bigger treasure than the first one? All of treasures. All treasures. City of gold, El Dorado. Later, when Esteban tried to find the city again, he never could.

But the legend grew. Sourdough starter of all treasure. And every explorer came to the new world. in search of it when general Custer's search for gold ended with his last stand. What do you even make the third national treasure then? Like, the fountain of youth? Do we have to go full?

And little big horn. He came clear. None would ever find it. Oh, man. Ben, can you imagine if the Confederates got their hands on the city of gold? That would be insane. That'd be a very different country. I'm going to go talk to her. You're coming with me. No.

Hey. Mom. Runs away. No one else can. translate it. There were others. There's several others. For ancient Native American, there's no one better. Mom. Who is it? It's Bob.

Who's it going to be, though? Yeah. 32. Sigourney Weaver, Merrill Streep. Susan Sarandon. Susan Sarandon. Why we haven't spoken in 32 years. We have nothing in common. Me?

A knife in the heart. Oh, no, no. She can do that. Yes, and I can also track the whereabouts of my toothbrush. I was not the one that left the toothbrushes and Marrakesh. I stole them both in the travel case as instructed. Yes. And you also, you also insisted on loading the luggage into the taxi.

I didn't insist. I loaded the luggage. Yes, but not the travel case. I like a he's doing a little caginess, too. The travel case is not luggage. The travel case goes into the luggage. Who was in charge of packing the luggage? I could not get the travel case into the luggage.

Yeah. Because it was full with that stupid rug you bought. You thought it had some kind of secret stitching. I mean, I mean, I didn't have secret stitching. You thought it was the six. Oh, uh, blah, blah, bleh. I need you to take a look at this. Is she doing an accent?

You just had a picture. It's very interesting. We think it might be Olmec. It is. Right to work. We were hoping that you could translate it. Yes, of course you were. This doesn't involve another treasure hunt, does it?

You know, you used to like it. Yeah. She fell in love with me on a treasure hunt, dad. That was excitement, adrenaline, and tequila. Yes, ma'am. And I was just trying to get course credit. Mom. Well, the treasure hunting paid off in case you haven't read the papers lately.

Ah. Amazing. Curse credit. Nothing to do with you. That was Ben. Ben found the treasure. You did nothing. Oh.

Huh? This is an extinct, exceedingly rare language. There's only a handful of people who study these languages anymore. And where we define them? Sheepers. The universities, I suppose. But you don't even have the whole thing. Where do you mean?

These glyphs here, they're cut off. They're about to find out. They have to go to the White House. There's more to the map? How are we going to find that? This guy. Well, we won't have to. Gates will get it somehow.

I love that he's like the anti-Shon Bean. He doesn't give a shit. He's like, I don't care. He's going to find it. I'll follow the other guy. Small door on the front of desk. FDR had that put in so the guests couldn't see his wheelchair. But guys.

Was that a Bruce Greenwood? Take a look at this. Oh, it was. I think that's our president. This could work. Yeah. Abigail, I do believe it's time for you to make a date with your new boyfriend. Oh, that's why Ty Borel.

and false assumption wait how do you explain why all the bridges out of Washington were close Except one. The one boot needed to escape. Whoa. That kid is an actor.

What is going on with the education? Is it a tiny Skyler Gazondo? I thought. That would be crazy. The voice sounded so familiar. He was little Sean on psych, and I'm trying to think if it was this time. I mean, that age-wise tracks,

and he was acting from, like, birth. Ask me, Ron. Nothing. No, really. Make him insecure. She doesn't think you can't. Oh. No, I know that.

Wonderful. Being John Malka, J.F. K. of it. People don't know that this desk has a twin that sits in Buckingham Palace. Isn't that something? Who knew? Every president since Rutherford B. Hayes has used that desk, except Johnson and Nixon. Isn't that something? Did you lose an earring?

I did. Yes, Honor. These were given to me by my grandmother. Well, I suppose we should look for it. Buh. I wouldn't want anyone to find an earring that doesn't belong to the First Lady in the Oval Office. Excellent point, considering we're not supposed to be in here. Yeah. Why don't we over here and check it out? I'll check over here. I'll check under the desk.

Where no one has been yet. Yeah, I will furtively do some tumbling. Oh. You think it fell down here? Yes. Working it. Oh, my God. Wow.

Maybe here. Probably. Oh, my God. And I like that they're not shooting that too. literally. Yeah, they're still letting the movie be like at all ages movie, but implying it strongly. Well, and they're letting her use the the fun physicality.

Like, you know, it's, yeah, it's like we get to watch her have fun with it. Sit on the sofa. The bunnies. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, God. You found it. I did.

I did. Oh, my God. Oh, no! It's gone. Thank you so. Oh, my God. Oh my God. Oh my God, no. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. It's so good. That's so good. America. Rightest men in our country sat at that desk for over a hundred years.

Take a look at this. Of course, one of them found the map. Dude, President Ford took it. Presidential seal. It's not the presidential seal. See, the eagle is holding a scroll instead of olive branches. Oh. So what do we do now? Did not have you read my book?

Plutching a scroll. Do you know what it means? Yeah, it's not something that I can tell you. Yes, you'll just have to read it yourself. He's so proud. I love that he gets one a movie. In my book. I have to show you my book. Oh, that's very sweet.

I hope we get story time with him now. Open it. I was moving. The president's secret book. It happens to be a collection of documents for presidents, by presidents, and for president's eyes only. You bet it's real. Did the Apollo really land on the moon?

Did it? And the coup de grace. This is the craziest conspiracy theory book but made tangible. Same symbol. It was released in 66 under the Freedom of Information Act. The eagle and the scroll. Yeah. The secret symbol in the president's book.

Aww. So you're saying that whatever was on that plank is now in the present secret book. In the night stand by his bed. They've got to steal that. If it was you trying to convince me, you'd have less evidence and I would already believe you by it. Aw.

Oh, buddy. I feel ya. The eagle with the scroll. Conspiracy theorists like to believe that it's the symbol for the president's secret book. Yes! Your firm writes a book about government conspiracies that you don't think we know about it. But is it true? Does the president have a secret book?

I love the smar of this take. Do you like ducks? Ducks eat for free at subway. There is a book. Because inside I'm a federal agent. Out here, I'm talking to you as a friend, Ben. Oh. The book has passed from president to president.

And each one chooses is a hiding place. I really thought the money... Each one chooses his own hiding place. The only way you'll ever see that book is if you get elected president. I feel like a little boys club. I thought it was going to be a movie about him using his wealth to solve mysteries. And they haven't referenced his wealth at all yet.

Who has the money? Because they're together. To the president, you wouldn't be able to get a few minutes with him. Not when he's surrounded by his handlers, but if I can get him alone. How do you expect to get the president alone? Before the civil war. Seduce him. States were all separate. People used to say the United States are.

It wasn't until the war ended. People started saying the United States is. Ooh, singular. Under Lincoln, we became one nation. And Lincoln paid for it with his life. So did Thomas Gates. Yeesh. So, how am I going to get him alone?

Seduce him. I'm going to kidnap him. Hell yeah. I'm going to kidnap the president of the United States. That's the line! Yes! Because you got out the line. Oh, that's so good. How do you expect me to respond?

Oh, man. You can't let you ruin your life. Oh, my God. Exactly, how do you plan on doing this? I was thinking Mount Vernon. What? Oh, I'm in. I'm going to have to move the president's birthday.

Oh, this is great. Some historian is claiming that the Spencer Landmark Hotel was used for regular clan meetings in the late 1800s. Oh, shit. I've got the Washington Gazette. They want a quote on, is the president being insensitive to minority issues? Doesn't matter if it's true. Oh, no. There is water everywhere.

The retirement party for 200 people. Whoa. Gunston Hall. Monticello is booked. Jeez. They're booking all to narrow it down to where he can go. They know the list. The Denby is great.

Denby will work. Strike that. The Demby Hotel. is just booked. Mount Burns all we got. Book it before someone else does. Yeah. And let me say what an honor it is to be here and add my happy birthday to you. Who is that? I know that

Randy Travis? Or is it Lyle? No, it's not Lyle Lovett. It's a country star, right? Country guy. Yeah. I'm going to say Randy Travis, but I could be wrong. That sounds like a name I know. Randy Travis. Damn it, Bobby. Why don't we know country stars?

What is that other flag? restricted area. Yeah, but this is where the fish are, son. But I'm gonna need to have you move up river. Good divergent pop. Wow! Wow! That was cool.

Yes. 20-100 time check, station 11. All clear. Proven or secure. You didn't happen to see kind of a cute lunette wandering around here. Hey. Went to get her a drink and she disappeared. Oh, no.

Got no game tonight. I hope we get one more Nick Cage story time before the movie's over. When he, like, read that book with the Custer thing earlier, like... Or a big cage-ism again. Oh, you got the Bruce Greenwood. Ben Gates. Oh, the Temple of Treasure. Oh, right.

Ben Gates, yeah. I can't tell you what a thrill it is for me to be invited here tonight, sir. Yeah, you must have the Secret Service hopping about now. No, no. Sir. Considering your newly discovered lineage. Yikes. Carry on.

Carry on. I know what a huge admirer you are of George. washington and oh boy oh boy have a look at that this is a map of Mount Vernon drawn by George Washington himself it's covered in chloroform mr. president that is exactly what it is I was an architectural history major at Yale I did not know that no they belong to my great uncle Charlotte who lived here and worked here at Mount Vernon yeah the Charlotte this line is an underground tunnel an escape route that was never found I wonder I wonder if it's still there oh that's so smart

It's charming him with nerdiness. And an architecture, all the details. Well, maybe we should take a look. Are we allowed to do that? No, I mean, I know you're allowed to do that. You're the president. Can I come with me? That's so much.

It's so fun. Oh, man. Give my friend your flashlight. Would you please? Yes, thank you. And you said this movie devalued the Criterion collection. No, that's Armageddon. That is Armaged goddamn Gett. Yeah.

You should absolutely? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, no, they're going to lock them up in there. Yeah. No, no. Craig, I appreciate you doing your job, but I have no enemies down here in the cellar, in this tiny little room. I'll just wait here then. Dude, he's getting so many ideas about what this actually is. Over here.

That's the mark of George Washington. Only it's slightly different. Oh. These axes, the angles off. History nerds. The one's on the map should form a perfect B. Whoa. That's why you got to go to Mount Vernon.

The arrowhead is sideways. Let him do it, make it the thing for him. Yeah, make him feel like it was his own idea. Whoa, Mr. President. Don't worry. Come on. Come on. I'm the captain now.

Oh, there it is. Mr. President. We have a breach in so not. Wow, no, no, no. They were getting along so well. Just kidnapped the president of the United States. Gates, what are you doing? Oh, man.

I need to ask you a question, which I know you can't answer unless we're alone. Oh. I want a sled chammer, want a crowbar. I need breaking down. Just a man standing in front of the president asking him to show me his book. President, sometime between 1880, when the resolute desk was placed in the Oval Office, one of our presidents found a secret compartment in the desk. Maybe he found it.

Was a plank with Native American writing on it, a treasure map to Cibola, the legendary city of gold, sir. I believe the whereabouts of that plank is now hidden in the president's book. The book of secrets. It's the book of secrets. The book known only to our presidents. It contains all of our nation's secrets. The necronomicon. And you're not going to tell me how to get out of here unless you get what you want.

The way out is that direction, and I'll show you. They don't negotiate very well, do you? Uh-huh. No, sir. sir. Because I'm not a terrorist. Mr. President! I only briefly

kidnapped the President of the United States. And usually by the time I'm done, they see why I did it, and they're like, fair enough. I hope this is going the same way, because this is high treason. He is.

Thomas Gates gave his last full measure of devotion to his country to stop the KGC. When someone dies for their country, I believe they should be honored. Wow. Link is my favorite president, sir. No offense.

Oh, I'm taking. Great line. Here for the links. Sir, I know the book exists. And my question is, will you agree to let me see it? Mm-hmm. Why do you think I would actually

just give it to you? Because it will probably lead us to the discovery of the greatest Native American treasure. And you could be the one. You're the President of the United States, sir, whether by innate character or the oath you took

to defend the Constitution or the weight of history that falls upon you, I believe you to be an honorable man. Oh. Gates people don't believe that stuff anymore. Especially not now. They want to believe.

Imagine if he had to kidnap Trump to do this. I believe he'd be an honorable man, sir. He would immediately just say, I have the biggest book, it's the best book. It's huge. The biggest book you've ever seen. I've got all the secrets. I've seen them. I know them.

There's some great secrets. There's some ways to do your hair. The gold of Trump Tower shines brighter than the city of gold. The following conversation never happened. Yes. Let's do it. The book exists. Where is it?

Well, where else do you keep a book? In the Library of Congress. Oh, of course. X, Y, two, three, four, seven, eight, six. Thank you, sir. X, Y, 23, four, seven, eight six. Two hundred people know you held me against my will. I can't tell them why, unless you find what you're looking for.

You'll be charged with kidnapping the president. Of course. You know what that means. You know he's going to come busy. You'd get locked up. I mean, I was going on. I want you to do something for me. It would be a privilege, sir.

Page 47. Must have a look at that. Aw. Yeah, he's got a ticking clock now against the entire U.S. government. Yeah. Up in the stakes in the sequel. Dude, man, this is fun. This movie's been a blast.

I'm telling you, this is crush my Indiana Jonesage, my Da Vinci Code itch. I cannot believe it's not a third one. What? This is also one of the better sequels to first movies I've seen in a long time. And the other two sets of numbers. Hey. Hey. We're close.

This man does not have TikTok brain. oh man what a shot so many dynamic shots oh that's a great jacket yeah yeah where do we start x y is the book classification code where are they this way oh man deck seven now we're back to that i i movie music it's not quite as stock sounding as like this one was composed the first one went back and forth between like oh it's a nice piece and then yeah like the president flagging down a that'll be good yeah that's funny oh man it's in a locked room of course you have a code ha ha ha you'll also need yeah 3 794 that's always the hardest part

you have to have like an immediately photographic memory what did the president say the number was 234 786 that's beautiful Beautiful. Two, three. Don't get spotted. Here. Two, three, four, seven, nine. Two, three, four, seven, nine.

Oh, did their fingers touch? How would he sent us here if there's no book? He probably wanted us to get caught. Uh, he's just as... Behind the book. There it is. There you go, yeah. He's just aroused by history and artifacts in the hunt.

He wouldn't lie to you. He wouldn't. Not Bruce Greenwood. Not. I mean, I don't. know he just had so much he oozed integrity you know i trust president greenwood conviction it's a six-dell combination lock the location's a combination bars whoa cool we've got its own little dust that's a little light too straight down to make it look epic yeah now you got to get out of there hung a little pepper light there well done mr pool

Hey, getting those flowers. Oh, he got his out of boys. There you go, there you go, Mr. Pool. I would probably rate it somewhere else. Eagle and the scroll. Eagley, prime eagle. I guess maybe look at page 47, then get out of there. Area 51.

There's a kind of the assassination. We don't have time. Yeah, it's true. There's so many secret, dude, that's like the tome that could launch a whole franchise. Oh, yeah. And they're not doing that right now. It's kind of neat. Two coded missives contains information,

regarding new world treasure treasure the second missive was thought to contain a playper cypher suggesting contact with lobolet who will hide clues before his death where's your camera take a photo of this resolute desk arrives in Washington sent by queen to president hayes all right get that to that missing plank from the white house get that over to mama here's the final entry by president coolidge calvin 1924 i found a plank in secret desk compartment Orglum commissioned to destroy landmarks in sacred Black Hills mountains. Mount Rushmore! McCoy! You're on the team.

Mount Rushmore? You're on the team! To erase the map's landmarks in order to protect the city of gold. Three for three. I'm pretty proud. Dude, you're at Gates. Pretty proud. Mount Rushmore was a cover-up. It was a literal cover-up.

Oh, that's good. Dude. Tax dollars at work coming to arrest me. You're not coming for you, Raleigh. They're coming for me. Go to the car. Oh, what are you going to do? Ben. You've had a camera phone the whole time?

He's got that razor. He's going to get all two megapixels of that. Gates abducts the president. Let's him go and then heads to the library of Congress. Why? Maybe he wants to check out a book. Bro, you know that that's exactly what he would be doing. Oh, what's, yeah, what is it?

Page 47 is just a grocery list. I think it's about his ancestor. I think Thomas Gates was... Yeah. It's the Gates I wonder what's on page 69 of the book Clinton Imagine if he was in the movie I will help you find this national treasure

saxophones Yeah yeah that's how Nick Cage charms him in that version of the movie He's like, oh, I'm about to go on and play but could you crazy jazz, bro. And it's chloroform he breathes in

knocks him out. You gotta get out of there. I had to move the car. This FBI secret service all over the place. Calm down. I sent a picture of the plank to your cell phone.

I was just reading about Mount Rushmore like two months ago. That's so funny. And yet you missed this. And then yet take it to mom for translation. Oh no.

Did he say his mom could translate the plank? Find out who she is. Ed Harris is like stapled to the side of this movie. Yeah, because he doesn't have to do anything. Never have I seen a character that felt more like they were like, shit, we need to add another guy quick.

It's like the silent hair movie. It's like Sean Bean in that. Like, Sean Bean was like way more proactive in the last movie. We were told to evacuate. I don't know what's going on in there. But my car is. That's Steve Zon? No, it's not.

It's not Zon. Be ready to show your IDs when you exit first. Best of luck. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Well played. Oh, my man, that's a great shot. Quality.

Holy crud. It's clear, let's go. We're going to jail. Come on. I want to run a check. Whoa. Oh, sure. You know what?

Why not? To Mercedes SUV. Go. That was pretty cool, actually, honestly. Okay, we can do this. I'm surprised I've not seen that in more stuff. Weirdly. Like, you know, open the hatch.

and run, jump in, you know, like in this kind of car, I just, I don't know, it seems like a thing that would happen in more movies. Oh, no. Damn! Oh, that would suck. That did not turn out the way it was supposed to. How'd they find us so quick?

I'll tell you how. The president is a tattletail. Yeah. He was there. He was more about the book than I originally thought. Oh, boy. How'd the president feel about being kidnapped? He was okay.

He was okay. I mean, he was probably actually kind of flattered to be pulled into the adventure. Dr. Appleton. You get to some history, love goodness. I do apologize for the lateness of the hour. A little southern drawl they added. Yeah. The lateness of the owl.

You're a treasure hunter. I'm just a man trying to make his mark on history. Yeah. Mislead him. I'm sorry, I can't help you. Your ex-husband's on his way up. Tell him anything but the truth. His life depends on it.

Oh, man. He's got that. pearl handle. Not good. Oh, disheveled John Voight. We need you to translate something. Yes, of course. I don't know. Sir Ben, of course. What is it? It's in the cell phone. I'm not sure how to, you know,

give it to me. Bring it out. Oh, she can text it to him, but tell the not truth out loud. Verbaly. Find where the moon touches the earth and release the hummingbird. That sounds not like. like the real thing. Does it ever occur to you that I did the things

I did to impress you? Aww. You did it because you wanted to and I would have done the same thing except one of us had to grow up and stay home and look after Ben. Certainly wasn't going to be you. Aw.

Did it ever occur to you that I made sacrifices for us that you never did? Who? Of course not. So just go away. Aw. I want you guys to patch it up.

I like the casting them as his parents. And it's not like overbearing with the drama, but like, you know, I appreciate it having a little bit of drama. Yeah. Lousy tequila. You got to switch you to Mescal. I have this.

A letter from Queen Victoria to the Confederate General Albert Pike. Pike. This has been handed down by my family for 140 years. It contains a vital piece of information. The final clue, as it was. Oh, man. Oh, man. It's all began with the burning of pages, and now we're...

Oh, that's crazy. Ends with the burning of this. The final clue. Wow. Making me the only one who can find Sewell. Okay. Oh, there it goes. Look at that priceless artifacts.

The clues! Uh. Look at all those striations. Her translation on the second half of the plank says, We need to find an island of stone Benjamin would have found it by now I don't think so Dude you've been using his

You've been copying his homework The whole movie How do I get to This Oh Mitch Oh yeah Oh no You'd figure out the message I gave your father

Yeah Homingberg was good Homingber was good And you're giving me orders The FBI is on their way here right now To arrest me and I'm sure they'll love to meet you too. Yeah.

I'll find us both and arrest us both, and that path doesn't lead to the city of gold. Yeah. Sent from Queen Victoria to General Albert Park. How do you know that? I read about it in a book. Hey, he did read the book because they're real friends. Yeah.

Friends for real. You've had me do all the work so far. Why stop now? You tell me what you know. I'll find the city of gold. Prove Thomas Gates is innocence. You can have all the treasure. What?

What? But if anyone's going to be credited For discovering the city of gold It's going to be me I don't think I was believe that But your partners stay here And all the guns What makes you think I'd agree to that?

Because you need that treasure I know Oh no Oh no That fly means death All right Gates We'll do it your way That is a

Ornake cannon But believe me I don't need the guns Well let's see We're going on a hike Which president? The president? I thought of best not to tell you

Yeah Oh, so many stairs. Climbing Rushmore. I've never been. It's one of the more kind of gross national landmarks because of what they did in like Native American land they'd given them and taken clean. It's just gross.

What the letter say, the entrance shall only be revealed under a cloudless rain. I love that he doesn't know anything about it. Cloudless could simply mean the sun. You need a sunny day and rain. We need water. Oh, Sandy, I need water. That's just a wet rock.

Everybody, the water makes the rocks darker. Use the water. Water? What's this in my hand? Are you blind? Good, good, good, good. Yeah, it's like I like that they let everybody put just a little bit of detail and flavor on the characters. you know, getting too distracted from the mission but, you know, like, there's personality.

Yeah, everyone's got their own little journey to go on, but it all ties to the bigger story. Yeah. Whoa. That's it. I found it. Over here, found it. Over here. We're on an adventure.

Look at that. There it is. It's an eagle. The noble bird. We'll give you passage. I think we need to join hands. And in a noble manner, pass over the bird. Huh, huh.

Bird will rise, right. Benny's got this. Standing around, you're guessing for a while. I can give you a next clue. Surrender your hand to the heart of the warrior. Yeah, you gotta put your hand in the box, Paul. And the eagle is a symbol of the warrior. Let's go, Paul Atrates.

Ben, no, wait, that's probably a horrible trap. Tell him. It's a horrible trap. It's a horrible trap. It would be a pity to come this far now. not even try how about you try there might be snakes surrender your hand maybe you have to give it an offering ooh a beetle one of the beetles oh oh my god oh my god oh my god holy shit holy shit boy he's got to clear his name and the gates name and also not let Ed Harris get to treasure that's right he must do so much he's got to fit so much in that little backpack oh look he helps everybody what a guy what a gates what a gates what a gates he's the best gates got to tell he's easily oh beautiful yeah

Yeah. Very Indiana Jones now. They're locked in. Oh, Ed Harris helps him up. It's locked. Patrick, what have you done? Some kind of a boat. I didn't do it yeah only one way out of here now forward

the only way out is through they see FBI can't get them in here that's true the safest he's gonna be for a lot look at this oh wow it's a little golden man if only this movie could win some of those looks like oh my god wow a good save Damn oh wow look at that set oh so you got a balance it or something this is bonkers move back all on you other side there your leg there we go yeah balance our way to even this thing out what a cool set piece i tell you what we're gonna do no no i'll tell you what we're gonna do no you don't i'll tell you No, I'll tell you go down there, you pull those stones up, because that's got to lead somewhere.

That is a good idea. Aw, they're making progress. They look at this. There's a ladder. How do they all get there without it tipping? Riley, move slowly to that corner. No, wait, just as I move to this corner. Yeah, we got to get you out of first.

Out of here first. If we can raise this corner, I think I'll reach it. Oh, uh. i can get up there just as easy as you just stop yeah guys three against one here i ain't going last and if i'm not going last i might as well go first oh shit i hate it what's it gonna be oh oh man you gotta throw each other down there we'll do this your way and by your way i just mean you can go up first on my count of three one two three whoa what a cool set piece yeah dude they

definitely upped the sort of yeah Indiana Jones like puzzles and obstacles kind of thing ready god what an elaborate choice like it's so simple but it's also yeah Oh my God. It's like they have nowhere else to go so they don't want him to die now, but like, well, how do they all get there? Ledges of the hidden temple. Oh my. What's up there, Mitch?

Oh, man. Wow, Ed Harris. All right, ready. Now! Oh, good on you, Riley. I also see how this led to Pirates the Caribbean. Like that energy and adventure and like Disney going from this to that makes a lot of sense. Here it comes.

Rolled gold. Woo! Jump over it. Yeah. Come on, man. Ah, yeah. Give me your hand. Wow.

Oh, thanks, Riley. Why couldn't a girl see me do that? Next time, just wear a body camera or something. You're okay, you're okay, you're okay. Oh, she care about you. Whoa. Put your life over there. This is requiring a lot more effects, generally, this sequence.

he was about to drink some water oh this why he's going down that's why they showed the thermos whoa god damn that's so much money el dorado what what it was it called sit see did sit ago I like that they found their own way without stunts except that one. There's, yeah. They had just swing. There's an easy trail, a medium trail,

and a hard trail. We gave the old folk, you know, and I swing. They did the medium trail. No, you were right. Yeah. Now, how does this clear his name? Yeah, I was just about to say. I'm sorry I smeared your great, great granddaddy's good name,

but this was a chance for the Wilkinson family to make its mark on history. oh boy oh oh no this thing is way old though crap crap coming through did you have this any branches that could lead out of here no it's all blocked where's your mother going she's gonna find the way out sweetheart have a look at this look you can read all this this is gonna unlock the old make language it's gonna give us incredible

insight into pre-Columbian history. You happy? Oh, yeah. Oh, huh. Ben, look at this, look. Yeah, that's where they slit the throat and cut the heart out. Wow. My man.

The history is a many facet. Only money you'd need the rest of your life, that one brick. Oh, my God, dude. You'll never lift it. What was that? Actually, no, you'd want, like, two or three oh shit all those portals are blocked off i'm telling you all this water goes out somewhere we'll find it oh there we go follow the dollar there's a current follow it's got to follow

the currency to the currency yeah follow the money let's go get in there fascinating When does the reveal of like how to clear his name? Does that Harris gonna tell him it's not true Hey, they're working together Whoa, right in the camera Patrick Emily go Uh, yeah, whoa, yeah We gotta be on the other side of that door nobody leaves unless I say so Of course. That door's not going to stay open by itself.

One of us keeps the door open and stays behind. Jeez. I vote Mitch. Yeah. This isn't a democracy. Uh-oh, it's a Mitch Tatership. Stop! I'll stay.

I'm staying. Look. All right, I tell everybody how this is going to go. Uh. Anybody tries to leave it for me and I drop the door and we stop this all over again. Ben, no, we're not leaving without you. Ugh. Your boy's a jerk.

Yeah, stupid Ed Harris. Always good at being evil. Is there no third national treasure because Nick Cage freaking dies? There's no way. That would be insane. Like, that's why there's no third one. He's out here like, I want to do it,

but they won't bring me back to life. I just thought it was too much plausible to liability that I'm a zombie, saving the national treasure. Third one, Riley finds some ancient scroll that, like, wakens his body with ancient magic. God damn it, man. god damn it ed harris oh gold's fallen oh no ah oh no is he going to make it in time oh no

hang on damn hold your breath oh yeah he's creating you an opportunity impossible open the door I'll get you out I open the door you'll be washed out I'll get you out oh oh my god I've given him a hell on death yeah isish I'm a little bit sad. Oh, that sucks. Brutal. RIP. Yeah, there are a lot more CG shots in this movie.

Oh, yeah. This third act has been heavily like... Early CGI. Yeah. That's a funny moment to introduce yourself. That's great. Oh. I love how much of these actors got to just travel.

Yeah, all right. Ben, we were just talking about you. Ready to turn yourself in? Not quite. We found the city of gold. It doesn't matter. He still committed a federal crime. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Cut two. All right. presidential pardon what's the ace i was going to say yeah come on he can do that zee yeah bruce greenwood let's go bg stop mr president greg give us a minute sir for your information this is the man who kidnapped you i as i recall we were exploring a hidden tunnel and a door closed

accidentally and this man saved my life yes sir yes sir after centuries of exploration You have brought honor to your country and your family. You've done this country a great service. I thank you. You've made me a very successful president. I thought you might want to take a look at tomorrow's headlines. Mitch did it. Hey.

Remember when people read the paper? Hell yeah. All of you, along with Emily and Patrick Gates, will get credit for this discovery. And Mitch Wilkinson, sir. Is that right? It's true. Is that right? It's true.

I like that. Any report regarding what's on page 47? I believe I can help with that, sir. So it's good. Life altering, sir. Oh, let's go to Area 51. What's on page 47? Are you talking about the book?

What book? What book? Yeah. Whoa, we're in here, yeah. Are you short and have you cataloged all of this? No, ma'am. You haven't? We should have been there when we picked out our first couch.

Lull, they cataloged that. You're that guy, the treasure hunter guy, right? You're him. Riley Poole. I recognize you from your book. Aw. Will you sign it? That sound design was so good. They're in love now. Oh, that's so good. They are now in love.

Oh, man, I love that crash. That was very, very, very cute. So cartoonish, but perfect. Maybe you could come and move back in with me. There we go. No, you use the word so. So? So, when you say so, it means you're angry.

Sometimes it doesn't. It's sort of like a puzzle. And you're so good at puzzles, I'm sure you'll figure it out. Aw, he is puzzle master. Aw. Shucks. Under the watchful gaze of some of America's most prominent figures. Hey, paid his taxes.

Yeah, I was going to say he's run back. Okay. Absolved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, from the Prez. Hell yeah. Tax free. My man. Oh, that's good.

My man. I love this car. Still can't drive it. Yeah, I was waiting for that. Wow, John Turtle Taube. He came back. All right. The turtle returned.

The turtle turned. Oh, man. That was, who are the Wiberleys? The Wiberleys? That's a, that's a fun and interesting. Like a team. Yeah, okay. The Wiberly.

Oh, and Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. Of course. Pirates guys. Oh, Jerry. Bruchheimer. The pirate vibe. Yeah, it's definitely had some of that. Proto.

Maybe that's why they didn't make a third one because they went to make an 18 Pirates. Yeah. golly this was fun I liked that much more than the first and first was fun but this next one that was a blast yeah they knew to get yeah I mean I like the first one does a good amount to set things up but yeah this time they're like we're getting

to the point game is afoot got a whole bunch of twists and turns in American history and all the family and all the artifacts iconic beats clues you already like the characters and you're just going to like them even more yeah one too they've got like a nice you know group of things to build on from the first movie

because now that dad's back like he's on board so you get to see him in more of his element I like you introduce mom introduced dad in the first one and then they get a different set of odds to be at

their chemistry was so much better about Diane Kruger Nick Cage actually had chemistry yeah and they like faked you out because they were like oh shit are they doing that mandatory recasting of the female oh no actually

she's got an elevator roll and now she's a treasure hunter too and like I think there's an interesting thing happening where like part of my brain goes, I bet the challenge is greater almost in going to part three for like what are the

personal dynamics going to be. And the stakes and like how do you tie in you know, what other icons of history do you want to up? Yeah. And I feel like they like did nicely here to build on just like the ensemble and you know the again family dynamics and then

yeah the legacy dynamics and all that stuff. It's like yeah, it's a well conceived I like the legacy element like you know the legacy for Ed Harris that's what he wanted to do and yeah I don't know all that really worked for me my family wasn't all you know

we're not only evil mutineer assassins yeah yeah I had a great time we've got a ton of do we have a we got questions yeah I assume we got some patron questions if uh if you're just joining us post credits

oh that's true maybe that's when they announced three retroacted no treasure in the credits uh if you guys are just joining us somehow we just watched National Treasure 2 I'd like to thank the fine folks at Prepper which hopefully this was an easier one for them because it was PG a little bit easier we are still fighting the corporate

copyright gods so we appreciate each and every patron that helps keep this channel afloat thanks gang uh speaking of patrons you guys part of the patronage you get to send in questions and help guide our review and situation I'm curious what people have asked I wonder if the overall populace likes the second one more than the first Curious to see how the people responded to the National Treasure 2.

It was a market improvement for me. I get the first one like a C plus B minus, I think, and this one's like a nice B plus. Real solid time, real funsies. We buckled a lot of swashes. We certainly did. We found a lot of clues and deciphered a lot of ciphers and codes. By golly, we did.

And, you know, we had fun along the way. We got a little crazy. We got a little cagey. Caged way harder this time. Yeah, and, and, you know, even, even that was like, they're clearly letting him have that kind of fun right now in a, you know, obvious way. But also, it was, like, he did a good job

of peppering it into the character well enough that I was like, yeah, Benjamin Gates is a little more kooky this time. Appropriate cage. We know him. He's more comfortable in front of us now. Now we know that'll accept this. It's pretty great. Exactly.

Coitus. All right. And just making sure we got all the things. All right. So this should incorporate everything, I think. And if it's not, then we're going to jump into the other shoot. No, no, it's just this one. Hey, hey. All right. We can start

with All right. Starting with Allie. Allie asks, thank you, Alley. National Treasure 3 has been rumored ever since Book of Secrets dropped in large part to that ending. Brookheimer and and company have kept the rumors alive as a recent. months ago what do you think is on page 47 now obviously they open the door to like

endless sequels and the end very much opens the door to a sequel pretty directly i think page 47 is area if no because there's an area 51 page yeah they already mentioned it feels like it's personal to i think okay what i think it is is george washington is his favorite president yes i think there's something to do with the founding of America because how do you up the stakes from the first two you got to make it to the core of what america is we've done lincoln you got to go back to washington something about washington maybe something with the chopping down to the tree i don't know but maybe it's you need to find his his stolen teeth i don't know what it's going to be something involving like

george washington mystery i'm like maybe something that's like you know it's like thomas edison or one of those guys with his favorite presidents yeah i think it was a washington It seemed to be something, yeah, presidential, something, yeah, Washington-based would be good. Maybe it's his wooden teeth that weren't actually wooden. But I think something with Washington, something with like the founding, because you've got to keep getting bigger. So the founding of America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I think it is, Allie.

And yeah, I don't know what the rumor was as recently as a few months ago, but I know Nick Cage says he wants to do it. More and more when I hear about like the Hollywood drama and budget stuff, it does seem to be like producer budget based. uh as recently as a couple weeks ago channing tatum was talking about um 23 jump street not going because uh producer neil h moritz he named him my name uh is asking for too much money because there's a certain percentage you get each sequel so by the third sequel people are asking for like blah so it makes the upfront cost a lot which the overhead gets too high for profit people aren't seeing movies as much in theaters so when movies cost more it's hard to rationalize there's a lot of movie math so i think that's what can keep them with us absolutely i i feel like the page 47 mystery will involve John Quincy Adams

is unfruitful expeditions to the center of the earth to find the mole people I mean that's the most John answer but obviously the most obvious

he was on to something and I think that you know President Greenwood and our man Gates our man Benny Franks are gonna

they're gonna find that it's inevitable I mean that's the problem is these movies for as much as you know the point is they're fun and silly and convoluted and all that other stuff

part of me feels like they make me want to brush up on my American history so that I have more of the full idea in mind so that I can have more fun with being like oh they're grabbing this and they're grabbing that and I feel like if I had a better comprehensive you know historical

database of facts in my brain I could be like actually I think it would be cool if they took this mysterious circumstance from you know, yeah, the founding fathers and this thing and but anyway, I think your theory is solid. Something to do with Washington

maybe he solves the JFK assassination. We don't know that it wasn't page 47 that he flipped through and we saw JFK. I know. That's a little too heavy for a PG Disney film. Yeah, damn. I was like that that whole book, that scene made me think of the way

universe building happens now where I'm like if this was made today, there be a whole sequence where like this book close up on the book and it's like all the lore it's our

Oz Corp it's prodigium in the dark universe he would have taken the book with him yeah yeah yeah he's like wow there's so many maps

and so many treasures to be uncovered there'd be spinoffs like the show apparently they made no yes that people don't want us to even consider watching

that's okay with me I would love to see a National Treasure 3 I really like that they left that cute little you know tease at the end it's the exact kind of

franchise that is designed to kind of always have like a oh oh was this dangling thread what could happen next time and like even if they never do it it's part of the charm of one of these because then you feel like the characters are going to you know go do another adventure even if you can't see it and that's kind of nice but has bruce greenwood been president for 20 years yeah that was on page 47 is it's the the the addendum that allows a president to run infinite times that's what we'll do we'll do one of those jump 10 years ahead sequels where like what year was national treasure Book of Secrets. It was okay, so this was released in 2007.

It's been almost 20 years. Yeah, dude, okay. I don't know if we're getting a third. So, Bruce Greenwood, right? He was president. They couldn't figure out the treasure of whatever was on page 47 while he was still in office. But now that he's out of office. And now both him

and Benjamin Franklin Gates are old and bitter and like kind of depressed like it's Indiana Jones 5. One last ride. But then they get a new clue. And then they both have to kidnap the current sitting president of course they got to help all of each other find the clues the president's with them on the heist definitely okay and they yeah they got to take the actual president it and harris's son is president and it's going to be a crossover with the olympus's fallen

franchise working at white house down here and channing tatum from white house down naturally and uh and maybe we can go you know do a kingdom of the crystal skull and uh get some aliens they hire tom Holland as Nathan Drake. They do. They get so much arid actors. They need a young whippersnapper. You know, they do. Who's good at, you know, he's like a pickpocket, right?

Feels inevitable. I just remember that scene where they're at the cafe and he takes that girl's bracelet. And I'm like, I believe Tom Holland is a pickpocket for this moment. He's a pickpocket guy, even though he's the smoothest, most charmingest, most handsome actor doing a waiter job looking son of a bee. Yeah. You notice a Tom Holland. We love it. of it. Next up, we got Michael

Penton. Thank you, Michael Penton. If Ben Gates had to kidnap the president at a different National Monument to get him alone, which one would be the most difficult and also potentially the most cinematically pleasing. All right, let's go. National Monument. National

American National Monuments. Let's go. There's got to be some good ones, man. List of the National Monuments of the United States. Here we go. Oh, we got A lot of different grounds and things. A lot of nature here.

A lot of nature. Let's scroll down. Maybe there's some stuff that's not nature. Yeah, Colorado, in its entirety, was just listed. Here's the Fort Monzes. Florissant fossil beds. There's got to be, let's see. Yes, yes, of course.

Fort Ord, of course. Yes, Fort Union, yes. These are just going to list a lot of forts. Freedom. All right, let's get to the artifacts. Where's an art? artifact or like a place Oregon Caves

I was going to say Oregon pipe cactus they're just putting words together this is not a very fruitful not helpful these movies just remind me that I need to go back to I need a digestive historical Is there a BuzzFeed article?

Castor or yeah Top 17 places BuzzFeed thinks you should visit yeah yeah yeah I mean let's see Fort a fort would be cool if they had to do it's not a national monument like Alcatraz We haven't done Alcatraz That's true And that would add some

The Rock elements Which I appreciate It's got to be like more Liberty Bell type things Yeah There's so many is the problem Yeah This is really

I feel like an idjit right now I feel like a dunce I don't claim to know I'm not gonna pretend A lot of them are forts Jewel Cave National Monument South Dakota sounds pretty cool The Gold Butte National Monument

in November It sounds pretty cool. We've done the White House. We've done... Paris is twice. We've done the White House. We've done the Statue of Liberty now. We hung out at the reflecting pool

with the big obelisk and Abraham Lincoln statue. I mean, if we had to do something with the statue itself, we only hung out in front of the Abe Lincoln statue. True. Yeah, that would be kind of redone. You go back.

Yeah, but maybe you could do some saw shit like I was talking about earlier, and then he could be like, oh, when we were standing out here during movie one, then there was actually this secret thing happening inside of Abraham Lincoln's torso

the whole time. There was a secret compartment in his chair, and we can go in there. Seems obvious. And then we find the secrets of his top hat. Yeah.

I think that would be a pretty, a pretty sick week. About a volcano. Oh, yeah. Volcanoes. Yellowstone? Yeah. Isn't there a volcano?

I think we're always worried about the... Percolating under there. I'm not good at this the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument just has a picture here that's really cool How about a Hawaiian National Hawaiian? It's very short movie You just go

Yes this has been a very satisfying answer to your question Sorry that we don't know American monuments This has hindered the whole experience I mean I'm excited that there are so many great Like physical nature based monument I do like a nature but I don't know how exciting that is They all go to the woods Statue somewhere, you know, yeah.

They kind of did them. Yeah. Best national sculptures of the United States. All right. I mean, I would love an area 51. Let's see, the rocky statue. I mean, obviously. The Rocky statue.

Hell yeah. I've seen a lot of these, actually. Because we've already done the Liberty Bell. We haven't done the Gateway Arch. We just did Mount Rush War. Washington Monument. We've been to Christ of the Ozark. There's like a Big Jesus.

Oh, I thought that was in, like, Santa, San, San, San, Sao Paulo or something. Is Big Butter Jesus a thing? Yeah, Big Butter Jesus. Oh, that's Butter? I don't think it's actually butter. It just looks... Yellow, I see.

Like Butter. It's the King's statue, but, oh, yeah, a comedian Haywood Banks wrote and performed a novelty song called Big Butter Jesus. Okay, so that's what I'm choosing. I see that does. It looks enough like butter. I bought it.

I want there to be a Big Butter Jesus National Treasure. I'm into that. That's what I say to this. And, yeah. I'm going to say Griffith Park Observatory just because it's a national monument. They've got to rescue the James Dean jacket. I guess if you did it on the top of the Washington monument, that would be really hard.

Yeah, Spider-Man, homecoming. You just have to stand on the very tip. Boop. Yeah. Well, let's get the next question because I feel like I've failed you. So sorry, I failed you. Yeah. We got a couple more.

Sorry, Michael. We'll do better with. Willie. Willie the nerd. These films very much give me uncharted vibes. Apparently me too. Talk about Tom Holland. If a National Treasure 3 was in the work, which actor-actress would you want in this series that isn't currently in it?

I mean, it would be redundant of Tomb Raider with Alicia Vicander, but the first person I thought was like a Walton Goggins would be a perfect like... I do love a Warren Gauggins. Or an oliphant. Like, either of them would make a fun, like, other guy, adventurer,

adversary dude. I think dad and mom need friends, so I'm bringing in Richard Jenkins. Oh, I like that. And I'm bringing in the lady who played Gladys in weapons. Okay. And then just everyone gets a friend. So Justin Bartha needs a friend, Zach Cherry. Got it.

And then Diane Kruger also needs a friend. And it's on a day armis. Sure. And then Nick Cage, where you're. going to bring John Travolta. Okay. We're going to do a face-off. We need that reunion for all of us.

I respect that. And he's, yeah, this guy who, you know, is truly in it for the love of the game, you know. He's got no ulterior motive. He, like, just purely wants to find the treasure. So he's, like, a guy with no selfish motives despite his adversarial positioning against, you know, Ben Franklin Gates. I want an Irish villain for the next one because it is a country where, like, the Irish had a lot of hard times in the beginning coming over here. They weren't treated very well.

So there's someone trying to find an Irish national line that never got its time to bring the Irish culture up to the level. Colin Farrell. Dude, here's what we do. Benjamin Franklin Gates stole a like sacred Irish historical text. Yes. And then he is, while we're just a business as usual, he's got it. It's just one of his many clues all of a sudden burst through a wall. It's Colin Farrell.

He's the Benjamin Franklin Gates. of Ireland. Of Ireland. Yes. And then at first it's like spy versus spider hunting each other. But then they got to team up. Barry Keogan is the son figure like Justin Martha. That's right.

And they're on that side. And then Liam Neeson is the big bad. Is the big bad. Yeah. And Ireland. He's the Sean Bean of Ireland. Because his family came over to the states. From the north of Ireland.

Yeah. And that rivalry. There you go. He's from Belfast. And he, they want Brexit in a different way. We got Irish historical trauma Plus somehow they were related to like Irish immigrants who were mistreated

in America. His son became a cop in New York There you go. It was like a poll problem when like every cop's in criminals in New York back in the 20s. We're doing it. Guys, that's what I, there it is. Writes itself. Oh my God. Call us Hollywood. Yeah, we write the good stuff. All right. Next stuff.

Jay Rushden. Thank you, Jay Rushton. Question. Will there be a next movie about who stole the gyms from the Louvre or some other problem here. I think that would be fun. I apparently they caught two of the guys.

What? They found DNA evidence from the jackets that they tossed aside after they took the cherry picker down before they jumped on the motorcycles. That's what I'm hearing.

But apparently those two people stayed in the country because they were able to track them for the week or the week after the heist. I think they're just patsies. I still think it's an ocean-esque crime and those are just two people

that are being framed as the criminals. I think it's a much bigger bigger conspiracy. Yeah. Is that all of them? That's going to do it. Jay Rushden, thank you very much.

We got, uh, let's, let's read this one. All right. From Michael. Oh, no, no, no. We got Michael Penton, right? No, did we? Yes. Yeah, we had to get out of front of it.

Yeah, we got everybody. Yeah, we did. We got everybody. All right. Well, what, any of any straight thoughts about the motion picture? Uh, it's rare a sequel, uh, is better than the first. I think this one is absolutely an example of that for me, which makes me want to new and even more. Can't believe it's 20 years old in two years. That is pretty crazy.

18 years ago holds up pretty well. I really enjoyed it. Made it made its money. 460 box office, 130 budget. So let's bring some treasure on. Absolutely. Yeah, I had a blast with this once again. You know, it's big and fun and swashbuckling and over the top and all that stuff. But I really enjoy the on. Like in a movie like this, like, yeah, I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea. And yeah, it's silly and convoluted, but it's also really fun. I love wacky historical fiction like this where it's, yeah, it's a little bit of Indiana Jones, it's a little bit Da Vinci Code, and I feel

like, you know, in time and place where we keep so many franchises going or need to, you know, adapt things that are already, like an uncharted, which is, you know, cool. All those things are cool, but I'm like, yeah, this is how you do it. This is how you have like your Indiana Jones itch scratched, but not having to constantly hold it up to that legacy. You get something here that's, yeah,

it's very, like, I see why these. I see why these movies were as popular as they were when they came out and yeah this continued to be punchy it had that kind of epic scope and scale that the pirates the early pirates the first three at least have where you feel like yeah they really kind of threw down

for this they put the resources on screen yeah there's a lot of CGI in the third act but it's also cool set pieces around them yeah and cool ideas like that's the thing is like if the creative idea is cool like in that third act you are in a lot of like cavern things so there are times

when you're looking at sort of nebulous imagery. But there's also a lot of really striking, beautiful stuff with, like, this, yeah, ancient temple and the gold and how it's, you know, built in the, yeah, different wheels and things they've got to turn and dams and, oh, this will only stay open. Yeah. We, yeah, well, the room's flooding and blah, blah, blah, blah.

Like, very fun game. And, yeah, I would absolutely have a blast with part three if they were to ever make one. Loved Bruce Greenwood here, too, like Helen Mirren. I'm proud of it. I got three of the clues. I felt very good about my knowledge of American history. You're a gates.

I'm a gates. You're secretly a gate. All right? Which made me feel good. Thanks, movies, for making me feel good. Well, that is going to do it for National Treasure 2. If they make a third one, John and I will watch it. We'll be there.

And until then, we'll see you soon, Reject Nation. Thanks for watching. Peace.
