- [Gabby and Debby visit their uncle Max. He is in his office, hanging photos of archaeological items]
- Debby Sela: Hi, uncle Max!
- Uncle Max: Just a minute. Just a minute.
- [Max turns the light on. He is delighted to see his niece and nephew, and hugs them]
- Uncle Max: Hi Debby! Hello Gabby! What are you doing here?
- Debby Sela: We came to say hello.
- Gabby Sela: Mom told us you came back two days ago.
- Debby Sela: So we decided to see you, before you go away again.
- Uncle Max: [chuckles] Come now, I don't travel that much.
- Debby Sela: Oh, no? You went to Japan in April. You went to South America in May. You travel all the time!
- Uncle Max: You're right. That's not fair, is it? I travel a lot, and you don't.
- Debby Sela: Oh, we travel a lot, too. Just last month we went to...
- Gabby Sela: [interrupting before Debby blurts out their secret] Eilat. Last month we went to Eilat, and three months ago we went to Haifa.
- Uncle Max: Well, good for you!
- [Debby sneezes]
- Uncle Max: Do you have a cold?
- Debby Sela: Yes...
- Uncle Max: Oh, that's too bad. So... what are we going to do today?
- Debby Sela: Tell us about your last trip, uncle Max.
- [Uncle Max tells Gabby and Debby about his last trip to an ancient Incan city in Peru, using slide projector to show them photos of the Incan culture]
- Uncle Max: I came back from Peru two days ago. I'm going to go there again next month.
- Debby Sela: Do you work alone?
- Uncle Max: No, I don't. I work with an archaeologist from Jerusalem, Dr. White. He is in Peru right now with his daughter.
- Gabby Sela: Where? What's he looking for?
- Uncle Max: [chuckles] Wait a minute. You were hungry five minutes ago. Don't you want to eat lunch?
- Gabby Sela: [smiles] No...
- Debby Sela: Oh, c'mon, uncle Max. Tell us, where is Dr. White?
- Uncle Max: [shows them a photo of ancient ruins] Well, Dr. White is working inside this Incan city.
- Gabby Sela: What's he doing?
- Uncle Max: He is looking for something that looks like this.
- [uncle Max takes from the closet an ancient clay pot, shaped like human head, and gives it to Debby]
- Debby Sela: [examines the pot] What is that?
- Uncle Max: It's an Incan treasure. It's called a "portrait jar". It's very old. Dr. White is also looking for other treasures. We think they are in a secret room.
- Debby Sela: A secret room?
- Uncle Max: Yes. We found it last month.
- Gabby Sela: So what's the problem?
- Uncle Max: Well, we know where the room is, but we don't know how to get into it. There's no entrance.
- Gabby Sela: No entrance?
- Uncle Max: [pointing at the photo Gabby is holding] That's right. The secret room is in that building. That's where Dr. White is right now.
- [Gabby and Debby look at each other. They decide to travel to Peru using the magic stick and help Dr. White to find the entrance to the secret room]
- [Debby distracts uncle Max so she and Gabby can transport to Peru using the magic stick]
- Debby Sela: [points at a jar on high shelf] What's up there?
- Uncle Max: Hmm? Oh, that's an old vase. I found it in Pero three years ago.
- Debby Sela: Let's see it.
- Gabby Sela: Yes, please show us.
- Uncle Max: OK. Just a minute.
- [uncle Max turns his back, climbs a ladder and takes the jar off the shelf while talking. Meanwhile, Gabby and Debby quietly approach the map of the Incan city which is hanged on the opposite wall]
- Uncle Max: It is very beautiful. It was broken when I found it. It took me a long time to fix it. Careful. I took two students with me...
- [turning back, uncle Max notices that Gabby and Debby are missing]
- Uncle Max: Gabby? Debby?
- [puzzled, uncle Max exits the room, looking for them, and re-enters]
- Uncle Max: Gabby? Debby?
- [using the magic stick, Gabby and Debby re-appear in the Incan city]
- [using the magic stick, Gabby and Debby arrive at the old Incan city. They see archaeological equipment and ancient items, clearly placed there by Dr. White and his daughter]
- Debby Sela: Gabby, look! Where're Dr. White and his daughter?
- Gabby Sela: I don't know. Let's look around.
- [Debby sneezes. Gabby notices that they are near the building shown in the photo which uncle Max showed them. Debby stoops to examine a bag]
- Gabby Sela: Gabby, look at this!
- [Gabby approaches and looks. Suddenly they hear voices coming]
- Dr. White: [his voice sounds from afar] ... we looked here yesterday...
- Debby Sela: Someone is coming!
- Gabby Sela: Quick, let's hide.
- [they hide behind a rock. Dr. White and his daughter appear, carrying bags of items they found]
- Dr. White: C'mon, Julie.
- Julie White: Do you want some coffee?
- Dr. White: Yes, please. I don't understand... where is the entrance to the secret room?
- Julie White: [puts a coffee pot on a small gasoline stove] Maybe there is no secret room.
- Dr. White: But we found secret rooms in other Incan cities a few months ago.
- [Dr. White takes a map of the Incan city from one of the bags and places it on a large stone]
- Dr. White: [points at area marked in the map] I'm sure that this is the secret room... but where is the entrance?
- Julie White: Let's make an entrance!
- Dr. White: How?
- Julie White: Let's break one of the walls.
- Dr. White: But that's impossible.
- Julie White: Why?
- Dr. White: The building is very strong. The walls are very thick.
- Julie White: What are we going to do?
- Dr. White: [sighs] I don't know. I really don't know.
- [while Dr. White and July are busy cataloging the items they found, Gabby and Debby hide behind a large rock. Suddenly Debby sneezes loudly. Dr. White hears the sneeze, grabs a heavy hammer and approaches the rock. Gabby gestures Debby to stay, and he sneaks away. Dr. White comes behind Debby]
- Dr. White: Who are you?
- [Debby turns to face Dr. White. July comes and stands next to her father]
- Debby Sela: [faintly] Debby.
- Dr. White: What are you doing here?
- Debby Sela: I... I'm visiting my cousin. She lives in Peru.
- Dr. White: But what are you doing here?
- [Gabby sneaks behind Dr. White and July and enters the building]
- Debby Sela: She told me about the Incan city, so I decided to come here and see it.
- Julie White: When did you get here?
- Debby Sela: A few hours ago.
- Dr. White: How did you get here?
- [Debby hesitates. Dr. White and July look at her suspiciously, not believing her lame excuses]
- Dr. White: Where does you cousin live?
- Debby Sela: She... she lives in a town near here.
- Dr. White: But there isn't any town near here!
- Gabby Sela: [his voice comes out of the building] Dr. White!
- Dr. White: What was that?
- Julie White: I don't know.
- Gabby Sela: Dr. White! Help!
- Dr. White: [to Debby] You wait here. C'mon!
- [Dr. White and July enter the building. As soon as they are out of sight, Gabby comes from behind the building]
- [while Dr. White and July are inside the building, Gabby takes a flashlight from their equipment. They use the magic stick on the map of the secret room and disappear with a flash of light. Dr. White and July come back, and they are puzzled to see that Debby is gone, and so is the map]
- Dr. White: What is going on?
- [Gabby and Debby find themselves in a dark room]
- Debby Sela: Gabby, turn on the flashlight.
- Gabby Sela: It isn't working. Wait a minute...
- [at last Gabby manages to turn on the flashlight. Debby screams in horror when she sees a face in the light]
- Gabby Sela: What is it?
- Debby Sela: There's someone in here!
- [Gabby approaches, aiming the flashlight]
- Gabby Sela: [chuckles] C'mon... that's a portrait jar.
- [Gabby puts the magic stick on the shelf, hands Debby the flashlight and takes the portrait jar. Debby aims the flashlight at the jar. They realize it is the portrait jar which uncle Max mentioned]
- Gabby Sela: This is the secret room.
- [Gabby hands Debby the jar. She places the flashlight on the shelf, then places the map and the jar there too. Now that the room is illuminated, they can see there are paintings on the walls, and in the middle of the room there is ornamented stone table]
- Gabby Sela: Where is the treasure?
- [they examine the decorations on the table surface]
- Debby Sela: Gabby, look at this! It's beautiful.
- Gabby Sela: Yeah.
- [Gabby finds a handle and turns it. Square part of the table surface is lowered, exposing the hollow interior of the table]
- Debby Sela: Gabby, look!
- Gabby Sela: The treasure!
- [they look inside the table. It contains many old coins. Excitedly, they grab handfuls of the coins. Meanwhile, Dr. White and July are inside the building]
- Julie White: Which way did they go?
- Dr. White: I don't know.
- Gabby Sela: What are you doing?
- Debby Sela: Maybe there's more.
- Gabby Sela: Maybe.
- Debby Sela: Gabby, I think there's another one here!
- [when Debby touches the table, a trapdoor opens under her feet, and she falls to the floor beneath - the ground floor of the building. Fortunately, the fall is short, but she is knocked unconscious. The coins she was carrying scatter on the floor around her. Gabby drops the coins, rushes to the open trapdoor, kneels near it and looks down]
- Gabby Sela: Debby! Debby? Debby, are you alright? Debby?
- [Dr. White and July hear Gabby calling Debby]
- Julie White: What was that?
- Dr. White: I don't know.
- Gabby Sela: Debby!
- Dr. White: [finds from where Gabby's voice is coming] This way. C'mon!
- Gabby Sela: Debby? Are you alright?
- [Debby regains consciousness]
- Debby Sela: I don't know.
- [slowly, painfully, Debby tries to stand]
- Debby Sela: Oh, my leg hurts!
- Gabby Sela: Try to get up.
- [Debby tries, but it is too painful. She cries in agony]
- Debby Sela: Gabby, my leg hurts.
- [Dr. White and July hear Debby's voice]
- Julie White: Listen!
- [Dr. White shushes her]
- Debby Sela: Gabby, help me!
- Julie White: [finds from where Debby's voice is coming] This way!
- Debby Sela: Gabby, what are we going to do?
- Gabby Sela: Try to get up. C'mon.
- Debby Sela: OK.
- [Debby rises on her feet painfully]
- Gabby Sela: That's it. C'mon. Now give me your hand.
- [Debby holds her hand as high as she can toward the ceiling. Gabby stretches his hand through the trapdoor, but cannot reach Debby's hand]
- Debby Sela: No good.
- Gabby Sela: Wait a minute...
- [Gabby takes the magic stick and returns to the trapdoor, while Dr. White and July get closer]
- Gabby Sela: Where is the map of Israel?
- Debby Sela: Here it is.
- Gabby Sela: Good. Here.
- [Debby raises the map as high as she can]
- Gabby Sela: Hold it. Are you ready?
- [Debby nods. Gabby touches the map with the magic stick. They disappear in a flash of light, back to Israel. Shortly afterwards, Dr. White and July arrive. They see the coins on the floor]
- Dr. White: Wait a minute... look at this!
- [Dr. White pick up one coin. July takes the coin and examines it. They look up, Dr. White points his flashlight, and they see the square hole in the ceiling - the entrance to the secret room]
- Dr. White: It's too high. C'mon! Up!
- [Dr. White places the flashlight on the floor and scoops. July sits on his shoulders. Dr. White stands up, and July pulls herself through the square hole into the secret room]
- Dr. White: Are you up?
- Julie White: Yes, I am.
- Dr. White: Be careful. What do you see?
- Julie White: There's a table here. It's... it's beautiful! There's money inside.
- [excitedly, July grabs a handful of the coins, approaches the open trapdoor and shows the coins to her father]
- Julie White: Look! It's the secret room!
- Dr. White: [excitedly] Fantastic! What else is there?
- Julie White: [looking around] There're some portrait jars, and there're some vases, and there's... wait a minute...
- [July notices the flashlight which Debby left earlier on the shelf. Curiously, she approaches the shelf. Dr. White does not understand why July stopped talking]
- Dr. White: What is it? What's the matter? July! Answer me!
- [July also finds on the shelf the map of the secret room, and is puzzled, wondering how the map and the flashlight got into the secret room]
