Wait!

0:02:050:02:07

-Just look at this.

-What is it?

0:02:250:02:28

We found it 10 foot from the entrance.

0:02:280:02:31

Looks like a badge.

0:02:310:02:33

It is. And it proves we're on the right track.

0:02:330:02:37

-I hope so, for John's sake.

-Let's go and talk to him.

0:02:370:02:41

Steve, John must get his leg properly set.

0:02:410:02:44

He's your son. You must send him back to base.

0:02:440:02:49

That's for him to decide. I'll abide by what he says.

0:02:490:02:53

-Hello, Father.

-We've got something.

0:02:550:02:58

Where was this found?

0:03:000:03:02

Ten foot from the entrance. It's the badge of the Karnak guards.

0:03:020:03:07

-It could be.

-You know it is.

0:03:070:03:10

Look at the hieroglyphic on the reverse.

0:03:100:03:13

Yes, it is. Have you seen this, Uncle?

0:03:140:03:17

-Yes, I've seen it.

-How long is the gallery?

0:03:170:03:20

-5 foot, possibly 10.

-We can break through in a few days.

0:03:200:03:25

-What about your leg?

-What?

0:03:250:03:27

I don't know much about medicine...

0:03:270:03:30

but if that leg isn't set properly, it'll knit the way it is.

0:03:300:03:34

It's your decision, son.

0:03:360:03:38

-Five days isn't long to wait.

-It's too long.

0:03:390:03:43

You're not an archaeologist, but you know what's been put into this search.

0:03:430:03:48

For 20 years, I've been looking for the Tomb of Ananka.

0:03:480:03:52

She set out on a pilgrimage to Amtak. She disappeared with her party.

0:03:520:03:56

There's a concealed tomb in the rock face...

0:03:560:04:00

and new evidence one of her soldiers had access.

0:04:000:04:03

He might be part of the burial party.

0:04:030:04:06

In five days we might be looking at Ananka herself.

0:04:060:04:09

Or we might be looking at an empty hole in the ground.

0:04:090:04:14

Joseph!

0:04:140:04:15

I promised to abide by John's decision.

0:04:210:04:24

You're his father. You could order him back.

0:04:240:04:28

He'll have a twisted leg for the rest of his life and it'll be your fault.

0:04:280:04:33

Well, this is it. Pity poor old John couldn't come.

0:04:460:04:52

I promised to let him know what we found.

0:04:520:04:56

-Glad you stayed, Joseph?

-I'll tell you when John's leg heals.

0:04:560:05:01

It'll be all right. You haven't heard him complain, have you?

0:05:010:05:05

Because he's as pig-headed as you.

0:05:050:05:08

-He's my son. Are you ready?

-Ready.

0:05:080:05:12

< Mr Banning?

0:05:120:05:14

-I'm Banning.

-I must ask you to stop.

0:05:170:05:20

-I don't understand.

-You must not continue.

0:05:200:05:23

-We've got permits, haven't we?

-I'm not interested in permits.

0:05:230:05:29

-You're not from the government?

-No.

0:05:290:05:31

-There's no more to be said.

-Allow me to appeal to your reason.

0:05:310:05:37

Believe me, what you're doing...

0:05:370:05:39

places yourself and your party in the gravest danger.

0:05:390:05:44

If you persist in continuing, I cannot answer for the consequences.

0:05:440:05:49

Nobody's asking you. If you'll excuse me.

0:05:490:05:52

Mr Banning!

0:05:520:05:54

You would do well to remember the ancient saying...

0:05:540:05:59

HE SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE

0:05:590:06:03

He who robs the graves of Egypt dies.

0:06:030:06:06

Please stop what you are doing and leave.

0:06:060:06:09

Kindly mind your own business. Come on, Joseph.

0:06:090:06:14

Superb!

0:06:400:06:43

Is it?

0:07:030:07:05

Yes. It's the royal seal of Ananka.

0:07:050:07:10

Now then, hold your breath, Joseph.

0:07:460:07:50

Marvellous!

0:08:270:08:29

Absolutely undisturbed.

0:08:300:08:33

-Is it really Ananka?

-It must be.

0:08:430:08:47

"Ananka, lady of the Two Kingdoms.

0:08:570:09:02

"High priestess of the great god Karnak." It is, Joseph.

0:09:020:09:09

I'll tell John.

0:09:090:09:12

-Stephen, I'll tell John.

-Yes, do that.

0:09:120:09:17

-Is it the tomb, effendi?

-Yes, the tomb of Ananka.

0:09:260:09:30

HE SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE

0:09:300:09:32

It's the Scroll of Life.

0:09:570:10:00

-Is he quite sure? There's no doubt?

-No doubt at all.

0:10:120:10:17

After all these years. Confound this leg!

0:10:180:10:23

You'd better get back. He'll need help.

0:10:230:10:26

Let him have his moment of triumph.

0:10:260:10:28

SOMEONE SCREAMS IN THE DISTANCE

0:10:280:10:30

Steve, what is it? What's happened?

0:10:470:10:50

HE GIBBERS

0:10:500:10:53

Was that the last?

0:11:150:11:16

-What did you say?

-Was that the last?

0:11:200:11:24

-Yes, yes. That was all of it.

-Isobel? How is she?

0:11:240:11:30

She's fine.

0:11:300:11:31

What did she say about your father?

0:11:310:11:34

She went to see him. He's the same. Doctors think it's permanent.

0:11:340:11:38

How can they say that?

0:11:380:11:41

The nursing home said if he didn't improve in six months, he never would.

0:11:410:11:46

They may be wrong. They know little about mental illness.

0:11:460:11:50

All is ready, effendi.

0:11:500:11:52

You want to see the tomb one last time?

0:11:540:11:56

I'll be happier when it's sealed.

0:11:560:11:59

I feel the same way. I've worked in dozens of tombs.

0:11:590:12:03

Most of my life has been spent amongst the dead.

0:12:030:12:06

But I've never worked in a place that had such an aura of menace.

0:12:060:12:12

There's something evil in there, Uncle Joe. I felt it.

0:12:120:12:16

Oh, well. Let's get it over.

0:12:180:12:21

I've placed a charge in the tunnel. It'll bring the roof down.

0:12:230:12:27

Great god Karnak, father of all living things...

0:13:090:13:13

hear these words from me, the humblest of your servants.

0:13:130:13:17

For this desecration, you will be avenged.

0:13:170:13:23

Those unbelievers who disturbed your handmaiden,

0:13:230:13:26

the Princess Ananka, shall suffer for their blasphemy.

0:13:260:13:32

Though it takes years of earthly time, I shall re-enter the tomb

0:13:320:13:36

and find the instrument of your revenge,

0:13:360:13:39

as ordained by your servants 4,000 years ago.

0:13:390:13:45

This I swear!

0:13:510:13:55

Yes, completely unexpected. When they woke him today, he asked for you.

0:14:240:14:29

For three years, he hasn't acknowledged me. Now he asks for me.

0:14:290:14:33

How do you explain it?

0:14:330:14:36

Frankly, I can't. I thought his condition was permanent.

0:14:360:14:41

I believed he suffered a physical stroke to the brain.

0:14:410:14:45

-Should be incurable.

-Could this mean he'll get better?

0:14:450:14:49

I don't know, Mrs Banning. It could be purely temporary.

0:14:490:14:53

-May I see him?

-Of course.

0:14:530:14:56

I would suggest alone.

0:14:570:14:59

-I'll wait for you here.

-All right.

0:14:590:15:02

James, show Mr Banning to his father.

0:15:020:15:05

-Yes, sir. This way, sir.

-Thank you.

0:15:050:15:09

Hello, Father.

0:15:270:15:29

John?

0:15:320:15:34

You must excuse me. I've been unwell, you understand.

0:15:350:15:41

My memory. You look well, son.

0:15:410:15:45

I am well. Thanks.

0:15:450:15:47

Your leg, what's the matter with it?

0:15:470:15:51

I damaged it three years ago. It didn't mend very well.

0:15:510:15:56

You should have seen the doctor and had it set.

0:15:580:16:03

You wanted to see me, Father?

0:16:030:16:05

Yes. The mummy.

0:16:090:16:13

-I wanted to tell you about the mummy.

-The mummy?

0:16:150:16:20

-From Ananka's tomb.

-She's in the British Museum.

0:16:200:16:24

Not the princess. Not her. It was the mummy who lives.

0:16:240:16:28

I'm afraid I don't understand.

0:16:280:16:31

-The mummy I brought to life.

-There was no other mummy.

0:16:310:16:35

Don't talk rubbish. I was there. I saw it.

0:16:350:16:38

It came from the rock when I read the scroll.

0:16:380:16:41

-What scroll?

-The Scroll of Life.

0:16:410:16:43

After 4,000 years, the words of the scroll brought it to life.

0:16:430:16:48

It hates us, John. It hates us for desecrating the tomb.

0:16:480:16:53

It will kill us! All of us!

0:16:530:16:56

You mustn't upset yourself. Stop thinking about it.

0:16:560:17:01

Nothing really happened that day, you know.

0:17:010:17:05

You're a fool, John.

0:17:090:17:11

Thank you for coming.

0:17:160:17:19

Goodbye, Father.

0:17:220:17:24

Remember, John.

0:17:270:17:29

Someone has found the scroll.

0:17:290:17:33

The mummy is released again.

0:17:330:17:36

As I was saying, I says to him, "If you think I'm going to cart goods

0:17:510:17:57

"which I know nothing about, you've got another think coming."

0:17:570:18:01

So he says?

0:18:010:18:03

"It don't matter what you're carting so long as you get paid."

0:18:030:18:08

So you says?

0:18:080:18:10

To which I agreed, times being what they are.

0:18:100:18:13

He didn't tell you what's in it?

0:18:130:18:15

Something about rel-relics. Aye, relics. All the way from Egypt.

0:18:150:18:21

Relics? Why send to Egypt for them? We've got them here in Engerfield!

0:18:210:18:27

Well, these come from Egypt.

0:18:270:18:29

-I don't like the look of him.

-Who?

0:18:290:18:31

The foreigner we're carting for.

0:18:310:18:35

Well, he can't help that. Drink up. We've got to get going.

0:18:350:18:40

-Good night, Bill.

-Good night.

0:18:460:18:48

-I'll drive.

-I'll drive. You're drunk.

0:18:530:18:56

It's my cart. My horses. I'll drive.

0:18:560:18:59

What a dear old horse. A man's best friend is a horse.

0:18:590:19:04

It's a dog.

0:19:040:19:06

It's a horse. I'm not that drunk and I'll drive.

0:19:060:19:10

All right, you drive.

0:19:100:19:13

You think we'd better tie that down?

0:19:190:19:21

-What for?

-The road's bumpy.

0:19:210:19:24

Just past the nursing home, he said. Only half a mile.

0:19:240:19:28

The mummy.

0:19:390:19:41

It's waiting. It's always there.

0:19:450:19:49

Help! Help!

0:20:100:20:14

-That's from the nut house!

-Perhaps one got out!

0:20:140:20:17

The box is moving. You'd better slow down over the causeway.

0:20:230:20:27

I won't have my throat cut by no lunatic...

0:20:270:20:30

not for all the relics in Egypt!

0:20:300:20:33

Take care there. You'll have me in too. Be careful.

0:20:560:20:59

It's hopeless. Parts of this bog are bottomless.

0:20:590:21:03

We'll never find it.

0:21:030:21:06

Now for some particulars, if you don't mind. What was on the cart?

0:21:060:21:11

A ruddy box. We was taking it to the house up the ways.

0:21:110:21:15

-What was in it?

-I don't know.

0:21:150:21:17

-I reckon it's better in the bog.

-Why do you say that?

0:21:170:21:22

There was something in it which wasn't quite right.

0:21:220:21:25

I see. Now, where did you say you was taking the box?

0:21:250:21:30

Up the ways. A big house, set back, he said.

0:21:300:21:33

-Who said?

-I said, officer.

0:21:330:21:36

Morning, sir. You was expecting this box?

0:21:370:21:42

Yes, I was. I engaged this man to transport it from the station.

0:21:420:21:47

I see. Well, hard luck, isn't it? Losing it like this.

0:21:470:21:52

Is it quite irrecoverable?

0:21:520:21:54

-Oh, yes, sir. Quite.

-I see. Thank you, officer.

0:21:540:21:59

One moment, sir, if you don't mind. The contents of the box?

0:21:590:22:04

Relics, officer. Egyptian relics.

0:22:040:22:08

Nothing more.

0:22:080:22:10

I'm very sorry. I simply cannot explain it.

0:22:140:22:18

First, this recovery, and now this. I've never known him so violent.

0:22:180:22:23

He seems to have a persecution mania. He thinks someone wants to kill him.

0:22:230:22:29

-When did it start?

-Yesterday evening.

0:22:290:22:32

There's nothing I can do.

0:22:320:22:35

Nothing whatever, I'm afraid. We have him in a padded cell.

0:22:350:22:40

-Is that necessary?

-We can't afford to take any chances.

0:22:400:22:44

He may do himself a serious injury.

0:22:440:22:47

With this persecution complex

0:22:470:22:50

he's liable to take his own life to cheat whoever is after him.

0:22:500:22:55

What could have done this to him? He hasn't an enemy in the world.

0:22:550:23:00

Great Karnak, god of all light and darkness,

0:23:200:23:25

hear this prayer from the humblest of your servants.

0:23:250:23:29

Help me in my task.

0:23:290:23:32

Make my way easy, that I may achieve your desires

0:23:320:23:37

and return to the land of my forebears.

0:23:370:23:40

HE READS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SCROLL

0:23:590:24:03

Return, O Ka, the double. O Ba, the soul.

0:24:200:24:24

Pulse strong, O Ab, the heart.

0:24:240:24:26

Make supple the limbs and strong the sinews.

0:24:260:24:29

Refill this heart with tenderness that he may walk the land of Khem...

0:24:290:24:35

in all thy strength and beauty...

0:24:350:24:38

and wear once more the Urolith.

0:24:380:24:42

O Karnak, through me...

0:25:090:25:12

guide this, thy servant, on his appointed task.

0:25:120:25:17

Go now. Go and destroy those who desecrated the tomb of our princess.

0:25:190:25:25

Those unbelievers who gazed upon her long-dead face.

0:25:250:25:31

Go.

0:25:310:25:32

And let the spirit of Karnak, our god, go with you.

0:25:320:25:38

If you want anything in the night, ring this bell.

0:26:110:26:14

It's no good shouting or banging on the door. We won't hear you.

0:26:160:26:20

All right now?

0:26:200:26:22

Good night, Mr Banning.

0:26:260:26:29

Help! Help! Help!

0:27:280:27:30

The nature of this deed...

0:28:170:28:19

points to the fact that it was committed by a homicidal maniac.

0:28:190:28:24

If it weren't for the evidence of forced entry

0:28:240:28:27

I wouldn't hesitate in telling the doctor

0:28:270:28:30

to look among his own inmates.

0:28:300:28:34

However, there is no doubt that the perpetrator came from outside

0:28:340:28:41

and left the premises immediately after the crime.

0:28:410:28:44

I can only exhort the police

0:28:440:28:47

to apprehend this individual with the utmost dispatch.

0:28:470:28:51

The verdict of this court is murder by person or persons unknown.

0:28:510:28:57

-"Person or persons unknown."

-Coroner said it was a maniac.

0:29:020:29:06

I can't believe that. There must be a motive somewhere.

0:29:060:29:10

Let's go through his papers. He was in the nursing home for three years.

0:29:100:29:15

Before that, 10 years in Egypt.

0:29:150:29:18

We'll have plenty to work on. Father kept a record of everything.

0:29:180:29:22

I don't know what we're looking for.

0:29:270:29:30

I don't know myself.

0:29:300:29:31

A letter, a note. Anything that may give us a lead.

0:29:310:29:36

Uncle, you knew Father well.

0:29:360:29:38

Did he ever mention anyone to you who bore him a grudge?

0:29:380:29:42

Your father never said a harsh word about anyone.

0:29:420:29:46

-Except that Egyptian fellow.

-What Egyptian?

0:29:460:29:50

The day we entered Ananka's tomb. The man who tried to stop us.

0:29:500:29:55

I remember. That sort of thing always happened.

0:29:550:29:58

"Unless this account is settled..."

0:29:580:30:01

He was so methodical, but he would leave paying bills to the last minute.

0:30:010:30:06

He was always being sued.

0:30:060:30:09

Remember the argument when you took him in hand?

0:30:090:30:12

He said he could deal with his own affairs.

0:30:120:30:15

Then there was someone serving a writ. We had a good laugh about it.

0:30:150:30:21

You were fond of your father, weren't you?

0:30:210:30:24

-Yes. Yes, I was.

-In spite of that leg.

0:30:240:30:29

That was my own fault. I could have gone back to base.

0:30:290:30:33

Then all the trouble started. Do you remember that day?

0:30:330:30:38

I shall never forget it.

0:30:380:30:40

That look on your father's face when he discovered Ananka's tomb.

0:30:400:30:45

And then afterwards.

0:30:450:30:47

It was never established what made him crack, was it?

0:30:470:30:52

-Overwork and excitement.

-The doctor's verdict.

0:30:520:30:56

That's it. What else was it?

0:30:560:30:58

I can't get out of my mind what Father said.

0:30:580:31:01

The nonsense about the mummy and the Scroll of Life?

0:31:010:31:05

You'd better, otherwise you'll be having a breakdown too.

0:31:050:31:09

What's that?

0:31:190:31:20

The Ananka folio. You know the legend?

0:31:200:31:23

Vaguely. What about it?

0:31:230:31:25

-Do you know it?

-No, I don't really.

0:31:250:31:29

Some wild story about the living dead. That sort of thing.

0:31:290:31:33

And here it is.

0:31:330:31:36

"In the year 2000 BC, the Princess Ananka

0:31:360:31:40

"high priestess of Karnak, set out on a pilgrimage.

0:31:400:31:43

"She was bound for Amtak, the reputed birthplace of her god.

0:31:430:31:48

"They travelled for three months, when the princess fell ill and died.

0:31:480:31:53

"The princess lay in state in her tent

0:31:530:31:56

"while the mourning ceremonies took place."

0:31:560:31:59

I am come unto thee, O Osiris...

0:31:590:32:02

who art cleansed of all impurities.

0:32:020:32:06

Thou goest 'round heaven.

0:32:100:32:13

Thou seest Ra.

0:32:130:32:15

Thou seest the beings who have knowledge.

0:32:150:32:19

Behold, thou art in the Sektet boat...

0:32:190:32:23

as it goeth 'round the horizon of heaven.

0:32:230:32:26

Prosper thou for me.

0:32:300:32:32

All the ways unto thee.

0:32:330:32:35

Homage to thee, Osiris. Thou mighty and beneficent being.

0:32:370:32:43

Thou holy god.

0:32:430:32:45

Thou prince of eternity.

0:32:450:32:48

"Then her body was embalmed

0:32:560:32:58

"by a process known only to the ancient Egyptians.

0:32:580:33:02

"First, it was anointed with the holy oils."

0:33:020:33:05

Hail, Osiris, triumphant.

0:33:050:33:08

The goddess Wa hath given thee birth.

0:33:080:33:12

And Anubis, who sitteth upon the hill

0:33:120:33:15

hath set thee in order

0:33:150:33:18

and will fasten thee thy swathings.

0:33:180:33:21

Thou art more beautiful than a goddess

0:33:230:33:26

and hath been begotten for transformations more numerous...

0:33:260:33:30

and with a created form more perfect than those of the gods.

0:33:300:33:35

"The embalmers, with natron and spices

0:33:400:33:43

"prepared her for everlasting preservation."

0:33:430:33:46

The god, Ta Sekret,

0:33:460:33:49

hath given unto thee the honours of the divine house which he hath.

0:33:490:33:55

Peoples and nations exalt thee.

0:33:550:33:58

The majesty of thy terror is in the hearts of men and the dead.

0:33:580:34:05

"And thus she lay for 70 days in her bath of natron.

0:34:050:34:10

"Custom decreed that after purifycation

0:34:100:34:13

"she should be returned to the place where she had ruled in life.

0:34:130:34:18

"But Kharis, high priest, for reasons of his own, chose to ignore custom.

0:34:180:34:23

"Here she had died and here she would remain for all time.

0:34:230:34:28

"He prepared a tomb close to the place of death

0:34:280:34:31

"and it's here that the ceremonial cortege moved to in procession.

0:34:310:34:37

"Centuries had laid down the laws governing the order of the procession.

0:34:400:34:45

"The Sektet boat for bearing the spirit of the dead to the afterworld.

0:34:460:34:52

"The living god, personification of the recorder of souls.

0:34:540:35:00

"Anubis, guardian of the tomb.

0:35:030:35:07

"The head of the goddess Hathor.

0:35:100:35:14

"Maidens bearing the Ushabti, symbols of mythical power and significance.

0:35:140:35:20

"The royal mummy itself, the mortal remains of the Princess Ananka.

0:35:200:35:26

"Kharis, high priest, the personal representative of Karnak

0:35:320:35:36

"nursing within him a terrible secret.

0:35:360:35:40

"The tomb had been hewn deep in the mountain.

0:35:410:35:44

"It was designed to remain inviolate for all time.

0:35:440:35:48

"Although far from home, the princess was laid to rest

0:35:530:35:57

"with the full pageantry which was her divine right.

0:35:570:36:00

"As the high priestess of Karnak

0:36:000:36:03

"to have done less would have been sacrilege.

0:36:030:36:07

"Under the watchful eye of Kharis, the mummy was taken

0:36:110:36:15

"from its bier by Nubian slaves and was carried into the tomb.

0:36:150:36:20

"Behind it walked Kharis.

0:36:200:36:22

"And behind him came the casket containing the heart of the princess.

0:36:220:36:27

"Much blood was to flow during the succeeding days.

0:36:350:36:39

"Many were to die, both for the glorification of the princess

0:36:390:36:43

"and to ensure that the tomb's location remained a secret.

0:36:430:36:47

"The Nubian slaves were put to the sword.

0:37:120:37:15

"Their fate was ordained, as were the six maidens.

0:37:150:37:18

"They died so their spirits would accompany the princess

0:37:180:37:22

"into the afterworld."

0:37:220:37:25

Hail to thee, child of the god Shu.

0:38:210:38:25

The underworld has gained mastery over his diadem.

0:38:250:38:29

Like the Hammamet beings, may thou arise

0:38:290:38:33

even as Karnak doth arise and fare forth.

0:38:330:38:38

Have power over the speech of thy mouth.

0:38:380:38:43

"Thus started the Final rites. Rites that continued for six days

0:38:440:38:49

"culminating in the sealing of the tomb.

0:38:490:38:53

"That night, Kharis returned to the tomb.

0:39:120:39:15

"He violated the royal and sacred seal to regain entry.

0:39:150:39:20

"In life, Kharis had loved Ananka. It was a forbidden love,

0:40:580:41:03

"the high priestess being bound by all vows to the god Karnak himself.

0:41:030:41:08

"But now Ananka was dead and the vows were no longer binding.

0:41:150:41:21

"Kharis now attempted the ultimate in blasphemy.

0:41:220:41:25

"Using the Scroll of Life written by the hand of the god Karnak himself

0:41:250:41:30

"he tried to bring back to life the princess he loved."

0:41:300:41:35

O, thou lord of souls.

0:41:380:41:41

O, thou lord of the tomb.

0:41:410:41:44

Thou mighty one of Amentet.

0:41:440:41:47

Let not these limbs be without movement.

0:41:480:41:50

Let them not pass away. And let them not suffer from corruption.

0:41:500:41:56

Make supple these limbs and strong these sinews.

0:41:570:42:01

Refill, oh, my soul, this heart with tenderness

0:42:010:42:05

that she may walk again the land of Khem

0:42:050:42:08

in all her strength and beauty.

0:42:080:42:12

Give life.

0:42:150:42:18

Give life when I pronounce the mighty word of power.

0:42:180:42:24

Fulfil ye now the will of the lord god Karnak.

0:42:360:42:42

"For this dreadful profanity, Kharis' tongue was cut from his mouth

0:42:420:42:47

"so that the cries he would utter

0:42:470:42:50

"should not offend the ears of the gods."

0:42:500:42:53

HE SCREAMS

0:43:010:43:04

"Death was not for Kharis. Nor was life.

0:43:040:43:08

"He was sentenced to remain for all time

0:43:080:43:11

"on guard near his princess.

0:43:110:43:13

"He was buried alive in a secret tomb specially prepared for him."

0:43:130:43:19

The rest of them never got back to Egypt. Illness, perhaps?

0:44:320:44:36

Savages? Who knows? That is the legend of Ananka.

0:44:360:44:41

The dictionary defines legend as being historical myth.

0:44:410:44:45

Half the story we know is fact.

0:44:450:44:48

Ananka died and was buried in the jungle.

0:44:480:44:51

No survivors returned to Egypt.

0:44:510:44:54

If half is true, why not the other half?

0:44:540:44:57

Because the other half is removed from fact. It's fantasy.

0:44:570:45:01

Dad knew the legend. Perhaps discovering half of it was true

0:45:010:45:06

he thought the rest was too. Is it possible that drove him crazy?

0:45:060:45:10

Possible, yes. He was overexcited and overworked.

0:45:100:45:14

But remember, John, historical myth.

0:45:140:45:17

Treat it as such or the same will happen to you.

0:45:170:45:21

A fairy story. Nothing more.

0:45:210:45:24

Help us, your servants, O Karnak, to fulfil the second of our tasks.

0:45:440:45:50

Go now.

0:46:160:46:18

Destroy the second of the infidels

0:46:200:46:23

who dared to desecrate the tomb of your princess.

0:46:230:46:28

Hey, Bill, give us a whisky. Make it a large one.

0:47:090:47:15

-Anything wrong?

-Gamekeeper troubles?

0:47:150:47:18

I wish it was.

0:47:180:47:19

I seen the like tonight that mortal eyes shouldn't look at.

0:47:190:47:23

Been to Molly Grady's again.

0:47:230:47:25

Ten foot tall he was, swathed in bandages!

0:47:250:47:28

Come lumbering through that wood like a bear.

0:47:280:47:31

-Who?

-You mean what!

0:47:310:47:34

I tell you, it wasn't human.

0:47:340:47:37

I needed that.

0:47:380:47:40

-Are you sure that's the first one?

-Have you been seeing little people?

0:47:400:47:45

If it's little people, it's the biggest little people ever.

0:47:450:47:49

I'll have another one.

0:47:490:47:51

Something very unpleasant is going to happen tonight.

0:47:510:47:54

Well, I'm going to bed. I think you should too.

0:47:560:47:59

-We'll do more tomorrow.

-You must be tired. I'm sorry.

0:47:590:48:03

-Good night.

-Good night.

0:48:030:48:06

If you hit him like you say you did, you must have killed him.

0:48:560:49:01

As there is no body, we must assume you missed.

0:49:010:49:04

I hit him twice at least from here.

0:49:040:49:07

-At four yards?

-At four yards.

0:49:070:49:09

I see. What are your impressions as to who this intruder must have been?

0:49:090:49:14

-You never saw him before?

-He was bandaged

0:49:140:49:17

with slits for eyes. The rest was covered.

0:49:170:49:20

With bandages. Extraordinary. And you hit him twice?

0:49:200:49:24

-At four yards.

-I see. I've got men looking for him.

0:49:240:49:29

That's all we can do now. You'll let me know if you have any ideas.

0:49:290:49:34

-I have one.

-Why didn't you say so?

0:49:340:49:36

-You wouldn't believe me.

-I don't believe you hit him.

0:49:360:49:41

All right, inspector, I believe the intruder was a living mummy.

0:49:410:49:45

-One of those Egyptian things?

-That's right.

0:49:450:49:49

-Aren't they always dead?

-Yes. This one should be dead too.

0:49:490:49:53

-Now, look...

-Would you sit down, please?

0:49:530:49:56

Something happened three years ago.

0:49:560:49:59

I'm now sure it happened to my father.

0:49:590:50:02

As you know, he was driven out of his mind.

0:50:020:50:05

We were excavating the tomb of Ananka who died 4,000 years ago.

0:50:050:50:10

I was out of action at the time.

0:50:100:50:13

Father and Uncle Joseph entered the tomb.

0:50:130:50:16

Uncle had promised to let me have any news as soon as he could.

0:50:160:50:20

"Ananka, lady of the Two Kingdoms.

0:50:270:50:32

"High priestess of the great god Karnak." It is, Joseph.

0:50:330:50:41

I'll tell John.

0:50:410:50:43

-Stephen, I'll tell John.

-Yes, do that.

0:50:440:50:48

It is the Scroll of Life.

0:51:230:51:25

"To life.

0:51:570:52:00

"O, thou lord of souls.

0:52:000:52:04

"O, thou lord of the tomb.

0:52:050:52:08

"Thou mighty one...

0:52:080:52:11

"of Amentet.

0:52:110:52:13

"Let not these limbs...

0:52:140:52:18

"be without movement.

0:52:180:52:22

"Let them not pass away.

0:52:220:52:26

"And let them not suffer from corruption.

0:52:270:52:32

"Make supple these limbs...

0:52:320:52:37

"and strong these sinews.

0:52:370:52:42

"Refill, oh, my soul...

0:52:430:52:47

"this heart with tenderness...

0:52:470:52:51

"..that he may walk as..."

0:52:520:52:56

HE SCREAMS

0:53:010:53:03

HE SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE

0:53:170:53:19

When my uncle found him, Father was unbalanced. He never recovered.

0:53:560:54:01

I didn't believe Father's story. I thought he was... Well...

0:54:010:54:06

But I'm beginning to think differently.

0:54:060:54:08

Are you saying

0:54:080:54:10

these two murders were committed by a dead man?

0:54:100:54:14

-I knew you wouldn't believe me.

-You're right.

0:54:140:54:17

It's incredible you should imagine such a story.

0:54:170:54:20

I deal in facts, Mr Banning. Cold, hard facts.

0:54:200:54:24

Someone broke in, committed a murder and got away.

0:54:240:54:29

Whoever did it killed your father too.

0:54:290:54:32

This I consider a fact also. But that's where the facts run out.

0:54:320:54:37

It's my job to dig around until I unearth more facts.

0:54:390:54:43

But facts, not fantasies straight out of Edgar Allan Poe.

0:54:430:54:48

If you've more ideas, tell me.

0:54:480:54:50

They're fascinating, if nothing else.

0:54:500:54:53

There is one more.

0:54:530:54:56

I think I'm the next to be killed.

0:54:560:54:59

It was only a hare, sir.

0:55:000:55:03

-Thank you.

-It was dead anyway.

0:55:030:55:05

-Sit down, would you?

-It was a...

0:55:050:55:07

I'm Inspector Mulrooney from London.

0:55:070:55:10

The squire's gone mad altogether.

0:55:100:55:13

-I beg your pardon?

-It was only a hare, sir. You're a...

0:55:130:55:18

I'd better explain. I was out having a stroll, minding me own business.

0:55:180:55:24

I happened to see this bunny lying down.

0:55:240:55:26

It was killed in one of them wicked traps.

0:55:260:55:30

I picked it up to give it a burial.

0:55:300:55:32

What else did you see in the woods?

0:55:320:55:35

Nothing. Only a little bunny.

0:55:350:55:37

You rushed into the Red Lion saying you'd seen a man in the woods.

0:55:370:55:42

-Yes, I saw him all right.

-Describe him to me.

0:55:420:55:46

He was horrible, sir. He was 10 foot high...

0:55:460:55:49

How high?

0:55:490:55:51

Well, 7'6"? Yeah, he be about that. About 7'6", 7'7".

0:55:510:55:56

I had a father once. He was tall, about seven foot.

0:55:560:56:00

And then?

0:56:000:56:02

There was all this yelling in the nut house.

0:56:020:56:05

I got scared, whipped the horses. Over the causeway, the box fell

0:56:050:56:10

into the swamp. There wasn't a hope of saving it.

0:56:100:56:13

It was a nasty business all round.

0:56:130:56:17

Very scarifying, it was.

0:56:180:56:22

Thank you. Give him another, will you?

0:56:220:56:26

I thought the crate was gone.

0:56:260:56:28

Parts of the bog are next to bottomless, sir.

0:56:280:56:32

-I went to see this man...

-Who?

0:56:320:56:34

The one whose crate it was. The Egyptian. I didn't have to.

0:56:340:56:38

He arrived on the scene and I told him.

0:56:380:56:41

-How did he take it?

-It was funny, sir.

0:56:410:56:44

This crate's come thousands of miles from Egypt.

0:56:440:56:47

Then to lose it on his doorstep.

0:56:470:56:50

He didn't seem to mind. Treated it all casually.

0:56:500:56:53

-The contents of the box?

-Relics, he said.

0:56:530:56:56

-Relics?

-Egyptian relics.

0:56:560:56:59

The last task is upon us, Karnak.

0:57:000:57:03

Watch over us as you have watched over me during the past three years.

0:57:030:57:10

Watch as you did throughout the journey

0:57:100:57:13

from our own land to this strange country of the unbeliever.

0:57:130:57:18

Watch while Kharis, the living mummy, your servant,

0:57:180:57:22

performs this last task.

0:57:220:57:24

The one that will release him from his eternal bondage.

0:57:240:57:28

The destruction of the last man

0:57:280:57:31

who desecrated the tomb of your high priestess.

0:57:310:57:35

Go now, Kharis. Kill the last unbeliever

0:57:500:57:54

who disturbed the sleep of your beloved.

0:57:540:57:58

John?

0:58:160:58:17

Isn't it time you came to bed?

0:58:170:58:19

-What's the matter?

-Extraordinary!

0:58:220:58:25

With your hair like that, you're the image of Ananka.

0:58:250:58:29

Am I?

0:58:290:58:31

She was the most beautiful woman in the world.

0:58:310:58:33

-I'm flattered.

-The world wasn't so big then.

0:58:330:58:36

Don't spoil it all.

0:58:360:58:38

-Have you heard from the police?

-Not since this morning.

0:58:420:58:46

Why don't they do something before there's another murder?

0:58:460:58:49

They're doing their best.

0:58:490:58:51

It's frightening to think a maniac's wandering loose here.

0:58:510:58:56

Yes, yes, it is.

0:58:560:58:59

Oh, thank you.

0:59:020:59:03

You know something, don't you?

0:59:050:59:08

-Just an idea.

-Have you told the police?

0:59:080:59:11

They didn't believe me. I can't blame them.

0:59:110:59:15

Won't you tell me?

0:59:150:59:17

-The maniac might come here again.

-Here?

0:59:220:59:27

-Yes, he wants to kill me.

-What are you saying?

0:59:270:59:31

My only chance to catch him is to wait here.

0:59:310:59:34

-But the police didn't believe you.

-They didn't.

0:59:340:59:39

-You're going to do this by yourself?

-What else can I do?

0:59:400:59:44

I won't allow it.

0:59:440:59:46

This is ridiculous. What can you do alone against this man?

0:59:460:59:50

I'll have to take a chance. I'll have my gun and wait for him.

0:59:500:59:55

I won't let you.

0:59:550:59:58

You should get away or at least ask for police protection.

0:59:581:00:02

I tried to convince him. He wants facts.

1:00:021:00:05

If you really want to help, you'll go upstairs and lock the door.

1:00:051:00:10

I've never ordered you to do anything before, but I am doing so now.

1:00:101:00:15

Please do as I ask.

1:00:151:00:19

Please go, Isobel.

1:00:191:00:22

Very well, John.

1:00:221:00:24

John, please take care.

1:00:251:00:29

I will, darling.

1:00:321:00:35

Don't worry.

1:00:351:00:37

Darling! Darling!

1:03:131:03:16

Are you all right?

1:03:161:03:18

He thought your wife was Ananka?

1:03:321:03:35

-There's a strong resemblance.

-She's been dead 4,000 years.

1:03:351:03:39

So has the mummy. A comatose state of living death.

1:03:391:03:43

-I was for having you certified.

-And now?

1:03:431:03:47

I asked questions all day trying to get leads.

1:03:471:03:51

What I've come up with helps confirm what you say.

1:03:511:03:54

-I'm glad you're convinced.

-I'm not. It's a theory.

1:03:541:03:57

My facts seem to have gone wrong.

1:03:571:04:01

-Tell me about this Egyptian man.

-What man?

1:04:011:04:05

-In the house by the nursing home.

-Egyptian?

1:04:051:04:09

So the locals say. They wouldn't know an Egyptian from a Chinese.

1:04:091:04:13

-What's an Egyptian doing here?

-I wonder.

1:04:131:04:16

Didn't you ask him?

1:04:161:04:18

If he's here to grow mushrooms, I must accept it.

1:04:181:04:21

He won't say he's here to murder people.

1:04:211:04:23

-You know nothing about him?

-Not even if he's really Egyptian.

1:04:231:04:27

-I could find out.

-But you won't.

1:04:271:04:29

-It's too great a coincidence.

-You'd place yourself in danger.

1:04:291:04:34

It's your neck, but I'm responsible for keeping it where it belongs.

1:04:341:04:38

-Don't take action yet.

-All right.

1:04:381:04:42

It'll take time. I'll find out about him.

1:04:421:04:45

-You're going?

-I am. I shan't be far away.

1:04:451:04:48

Now, remember, no private police work.

1:04:481:04:51

-Good night.

-Good night.

1:04:511:04:54

Great god, we have accomplished what we set out to do.

1:05:091:05:14

The three desecrators are now dead. At last you've been avenged.

1:05:141:05:19

Now we are free to return to our own country...

1:05:191:05:23

if that is your desire.

1:05:231:05:26

You've done well, Kharis. You may rest.

1:05:271:05:31

Soon we start the long journey home.

1:05:311:05:35

Rest, Kharis. I will call you when it's time.

1:05:421:05:46

Go!

1:05:481:05:50

BELL RINGS

1:06:031:06:05

Good evening, my name is Banning. I live a few miles from here.

1:06:331:06:38

I heard you're new to this district so I thought I'd pay a call.

1:06:381:06:43

This is very courteous of you.

1:06:431:06:45

I haven't called at an inconvenient time?

1:06:451:06:48

-Not at all. Do come in.

-Thank you.

1:06:481:06:53

My name is Mehemet Atkil. This way, please.

1:06:571:07:01

Thank you.

1:07:011:07:03

It's difficult getting to know people in a strange land.

1:07:051:07:09

-You come from Egypt?

-I do.

1:07:091:07:12

I spent many years in your country.

1:07:121:07:14

-You must know Egypt well.

-There's still a lot I want to learn.

1:07:161:07:21

-Are you Banning, the archaeologist?

-John Banning, junior member.

1:07:231:07:27

-Of course, Stephen Banning's son.

-You knew my father?

1:07:271:07:32

Only by reputation.

1:07:321:07:34

I haven't heard about him lately. Has he retired?

1:07:341:07:38

My father is dead.

1:07:381:07:40

I'm sorry. Please accept my sympathy.

1:07:401:07:43

May I have your coat?

1:07:431:07:46

-Won't you sit down?

-Thank you.

1:07:481:07:52

This is indeed an honour.

1:07:551:07:58

To meet someone who's unearthed so many of my country's sacred secrets.

1:07:581:08:03

-Are you interested in archaeology?

-Yes, I am.

1:08:031:08:07

Academically, that is, not commercially.

1:08:071:08:09

I'm puzzled about archaeologists. Has it occurred to them...

1:08:111:08:16

that by opening sacred beings' tombs, they commit desecration?

1:08:161:08:21

If we didn't, a great part of civilisation would be unknown.

1:08:211:08:25

Nevertheless, those tombs were sealed for all time.

1:08:251:08:29

You are an intruder.

1:08:291:08:31

You force your way in, you remove remains of long-dead kings

1:08:311:08:35

and send them to the British Museum

1:08:351:08:38

where thousands of people can stare at them.

1:08:381:08:42

Does this not trouble your conscience?

1:08:421:08:46

-No, it's my job. It troubles you?

-Why should it trouble me?

1:08:461:08:51

I'm a civilised man. To me, the dead are the dead. Clay.

1:08:511:08:56

-Can I offer you some refreshment?

-No, thank you.

1:08:581:09:02

-A cigar, perhaps?

-Do you mind if I keep to these?

1:09:021:09:07

Not at all.

1:09:071:09:09

I am very sorry to hear about your father. When did he die?

1:09:111:09:16

Recently.

1:09:161:09:18

Had he been ill for some time?

1:09:181:09:22

Yes, he had. But that wasn't the cause of his death.

1:09:221:09:27

What was the cause then?

1:09:271:09:29

-He was murdered.

-Oh.

1:09:291:09:31

It was a great shock to me.

1:09:341:09:37

Please forgive my apathy.

1:09:381:09:41

In my country, violence is quite commonplace.

1:09:411:09:44

It doesn't leave the same impression as in this peaceful community.

1:09:441:09:50

The history of your country is steeped in violence.

1:09:501:09:53

Indeed it is.

1:09:531:09:54

I remember the opening of Princess Ananka's tomb.

1:09:541:09:58

She was high priestess to a pagan god, Karnak.

1:09:581:10:01

We believe 100 people were put to death during her funeral.

1:10:011:10:05

Most probably.

1:10:051:10:06

Karnak wasn't an important deity. A third-rate god.

1:10:061:10:10

-Not to those who believed in him.

-Perhaps not.

1:10:101:10:14

Their standard of intelligence must have been low.

1:10:141:10:17

-Why do you say that?

-He was insignificant.

1:10:171:10:21

He had nothing to commend him to anyone intelligent.

1:10:211:10:25

-You assume a great deal.

-I don't think so.

1:10:251:10:29

I've studied extensively this so-called religion.

1:10:291:10:32

It's based upon artificial, ludicrous beliefs.

1:10:321:10:36

Did it occur to you that beneath the superficial

1:10:361:10:40

there could be a great devotion to this god?

1:10:401:10:43

-It occurred to me. I dismissed it.

-You're intolerant.

1:10:431:10:48

-Not intolerant. Just practical.

-Intolerant.

1:10:481:10:52

Because you can't experience the greatness of a deity

1:10:551:10:59

you dismiss it as of no consequence.

1:10:591:11:02

But, believe me, to those who worship and serve Karnak,

1:11:031:11:07

he's all-powerful.

1:11:071:11:09

Surely there can't be people who still have such beliefs?

1:11:091:11:13

You talk about something of which you know nothing.

1:11:131:11:18

You've scratched only the surface and you know nothing.

1:11:181:11:22

You disturb the everlasting peace of the gods.

1:11:221:11:26

You pry and meddle with unclean hands and eyes.

1:11:261:11:31

Profanity, blasphemy, religious desecration.

1:11:311:11:34

All these you are guilty of.

1:11:341:11:37

But the powers with which you have meddled do not rest easy.

1:11:371:11:43

-I think you will not go unpunished.

-Punished? By whom?

1:11:431:11:49

There are certain things for which civilisation has no answer.

1:11:491:11:54

If you choose to meddle thus...

1:11:541:11:56

be prepared to face the consequences, whatever they are.

1:11:561:12:00

Consequences? That sounds like a threat.

1:12:001:12:04

You must excuse me, Mr Banning.

1:12:041:12:08

We think our European dress, our liberal education

1:12:081:12:12

have buried the past.

1:12:121:12:14

But occasionally one is forced to realise that this is only a veneer.

1:12:141:12:19

Thousands of years of belief can't be dismissed in one generation.

1:12:191:12:23

Please accept my apologies.

1:12:231:12:26

Please, I should apologise to you. I came here to welcome you.

1:12:261:12:31

I'm afraid I got rather carried away. I mustn't detain you any longer.

1:12:311:12:37

You haven't detained me at all.

1:12:371:12:40

-May I?

-Please do.

1:12:461:12:49

-The 20th dynasty, isn't it?

-19th.

1:12:521:12:56

Of course. Stupid of me. Have you any other pieces in this period?

1:12:561:13:00

Very few. A large consignment was lost in transit.

1:13:001:13:05

-Unfortunate. They're irreplaceable.

-Quite.

1:13:051:13:09

Thank you. Most interesting.

1:13:091:13:12

Thank you for calling. We shall meet again.

1:13:201:13:23

-It's a small world. Good night.

-Good night.

1:13:231:13:27

Karnak, your servants have failed you.

1:13:541:13:58

The task is not yet accomplished. This will be remedied.

1:13:581:14:02

Before the sun strokes the horizon

1:14:021:14:05

the last desecrator will be dead. This I promise.

1:14:051:14:10

I've served you faithfully, great god,

1:14:101:14:13

to the best of my humble ability.

1:14:131:14:16

But if it should be that I'm unable to commune with you again...

1:14:161:14:22

..then so be it. We go now.

1:14:231:14:27

Our fate and our destiny, we place in your merciful hands.

1:14:271:14:34

Come, Kharis. This time you shall not fail.

1:14:471:14:51

If he'd killed you, it'd have served you right.

1:14:511:14:54

My father and uncle were killed. I had to do something.

1:14:541:14:58

-I found out what you wanted.

-You sure it's him?

1:14:581:15:01

Certain. Apart from his conversation, he had the seal to Ananka's tomb.

1:15:011:15:05

-What more do you want?

-I'll tell you.

1:15:051:15:09

Perhaps he is controlling the mummy.

1:15:091:15:13

What you don't understand is, he's now forced to act and act soon.

1:15:131:15:18

I didn't want to force any action till I was ready.

1:15:181:15:21

-Then it might have been too late.

-Can't we get help?

1:15:211:15:24

Sergeant's rounding up villagers.

1:15:241:15:27

All I have is PC Blake and another man.

1:15:271:15:30

-Where are they?

-Blake's out back.

1:15:301:15:32

-The other man's up the road.

-It's loaded.

1:15:321:15:34

As you're a decoy, it's safer if Mrs Banning came with me.

1:15:341:15:38

-I don't think so.

-We'll have plenty of warning.

1:15:381:15:42

It's best, dear.

1:15:421:15:44

If anything happens, fire your gun as a signal.

1:15:481:15:52

You stay here. I'll go around to the front to check up.

1:17:221:17:26

All right.

1:17:261:17:28

HE FIRES GUN

1:18:441:18:46

Inspector Mulrooney!

1:18:461:18:48

Stop!

1:19:081:19:09

Isobel, your hair!

1:19:131:19:15

Stop!

1:19:241:19:26

Kill her, Kharis. Kill her!

1:19:421:19:46

Kill her!

1:19:561:19:58

What happened?

1:20:291:20:31

He's taken Isobel!

1:20:311:20:34

-Where will he take her?

-The house!

1:20:401:20:43

Wait, look!

1:20:541:20:56

He's taking her to the swamp!

1:20:591:21:02

No! Don't risk it!

1:21:151:21:17

Don't shoot. You'll hit Mrs Banning.

1:21:261:21:29

-Now what?

-Have the men line up.

1:21:311:21:34

Come on, into position!

1:21:341:21:36

Isobel! Isobel! This is John!

1:21:381:21:42

Isobel. Tell him to put you down. Tell him quickly!

1:21:471:21:53

Kharis?

1:21:531:21:55

Kharis, put me down.

1:21:581:22:01

Let's go around. Tell them to be ready.

1:22:011:22:04

Stand by, men! Be ready!

1:22:041:22:06

Put me down. Kharis, put me down!

1:22:091:22:14

Start walking towards me slowly.

1:22:361:22:39

When I shout, get down as low as you can.

1:22:391:22:42

Now, Isobel! Fire!

1:22:441:22:46

Come on, Isobel.

1:22:491:22:51

You're safe now.
