A scene from National Treasure 2004
Ian Howe

You all right, Ben? No broken bones? A jump like that could kill a man.

Ben

No, it was cool. You should try it some time.

Ian Howe

The Declaration of Independence and the meerschaum pipe. All yours.

Ben

That's it?

Ian Howe

That's it. I knew you'd keep your promise. Now, where is it? Where's my treasure?

Ben

It's right here. The map said "Heere at the wall", spelled with two E's. Wall Street follows the path of an actual wall that the original Dutch settlers built as a defence to keep the British out. The main gate was located at a street called De Heere, also two E's. Later De Heere Street was renamed Broadway after the British got in. So, "Heere at the wall." Broadway, Wall Street. Cheerio.

Ian Howe

Just a moment, Ben.

Ben

Ian, if you break our deal, the FBI will be only a few minutes behind you. You might get away, you might not.

Ian Howe

Is that all the map said?

Ben

Every word.

Ian Howe

Oh, Ben. You know the key to running a convincing bluff? Every once in a while, you've got to be holding all the cards.

Ben

[One of Ian's men shows Patrick Gates as hostage]

Dad.

Ian Howe

Is there anything else you want to tell me?

Ben

Trinity Church. We have to go inside Trinity Church.

Ian Howe

Good. Excellent. Well, why don't you ask Dr. Chase and Riley to join us? I'm sure they're around here somewhere.
