-What do you suppose killed him? -Did you ever see him eat?
Seems that our American friends had a little misfortune of their own today.
Three of their diggers were...melted.
-What? -How?
Salt acid. Pressurized salt acid.
Some kind of ancient booby trap.
Maybe this place really is cursed.
For goodness' sake, you two!
-You don't believe in curses? -No.
l believe if l can see it and touch it, it's real. That's what l believe.
l believe in being prepared.
Let's see what our friend the warden believed in.
What is it?
A broken bottle.
Glenlivet. Twelve years old!
He may have been a stinky fellow, but he had good taste.
Take this. Stay here.
-No, wait! Wait for me. -Evy!
Excuse me, but didn't the man just say "stay here"? Evy!
Mr. Henderson! Wake up!
Enough!
We will shed no more blood, but you must leave.
Leave this place or die.
You have one day.
Evelyn.
-Are you all right? -Yes, l'm fine.
-You sure? -Thank you.
That proves it. Old Seti's fortune has got to be under this sand.
For them to protect it like this, there's got to be treasure down there.
These men are desert people. They value water, not gold.
You know, maybe just at night we could combine forces?
Tough stuff, try a right hook.
Ball up your fist and put it up like that.
Then mean it. Hit it here.
l mean it!
Okay, it's time for another drink.
Unlike my brother, sir...
...l know when to say no.
And unlike your brother, miss...
...you, l just don't get.
l know.
You're wondering...
...what is a place like me doing in a girl like this.
Yeah, something like that.
Egypt is in my blood.
You see, my father...
...was a very, very famous explorer.
He loved Egypt so much...
...he married my mother, who was an Egyptian...
...and quite an adventurer herself.
l get your father, and l get your mother...
...and...
...l get him, but....
What are you doing here?
l may not be...
...an explorer...
...or an adventurer...
...or a treasure seeker, or a gunfighter...
...Mr. O'Connell...
...but l am proud of what l am.
And what is that?
l...
...am a librarian.
And l am going to kiss you...
...Mr. O'Connell.
Call me Rick.
Oh, Rick.
-There is a curse upon this chest. -Curse, my ass.
-Who cares? -Have a care, Mr. Henderson.
On these hallowed grounds, that set forth in ancient times...
-...is as strong today as it was then. -We understand.
What's it say?
"Death will come on swift wings...
"...to whomsoever opens this chest."
We should not be here.
This is not good.
lt says, "There is one...
"...the undead...
"...who, if brought back to life, is bound by sacred law...
"...to consummate this curse."
Let's not bring anyone back from the dead then.
"He will kill all who open this chest...
"...and assimilate their organs and fluids...
"...and in so doing, he will regenerate...
"...and no longer be the undead...
"...but a plague upon this earth."
Well, we didn't come all this way for nothing.
-That's right. -lt's the curse.
lt's the curse.
lt's the curse! Beware of the curse!
Beware!
Stupid superstitious bastard.
l've dreamt about this since l was a little girl.
You dream about dead guys?
Look, the sacred spells have been chiseled off.
This man must've been condemned both in this life and the next.
-Tough break. -Yeah, l'm all tears.
Now, let's see who's inside. Shall we?
l hate it when these things do that.
ls he supposed to look like that?
l've never seen a mummy look like this before.
He's still....
-Juicy. -Yes.
He must be more than 3,000 years old...
...and it looks as if he's still...
...decomposing.
Look at that.
What do you make of this?
These marks were made with...
...fingernails.
This man was buried alive.
And he left a message.
"Death is only the beginning."
Oh, my God.
lt does exist.
-The Book of the Dead. -A book?
Who cares about a book? Where the hell's the treasure?
This, gentlemen...
...this is treasure.
l wouldn't trade you for a brass--
Look at that.
There's your treasure, gentlemen.
Now we're onto something.
l believe you need a key to open that book.
What do you think these will fetch back home?
We hear you boys found yourselves a nice, gooey mummy.
Congratulations.
lf you dry that fella out, you might be able to sell him for firewood.
Look what l found.
You're in her seat.
-Now! -Yes.
Scarab skeletons, flesh-eaters.
l found them inside our friend's coffin.
They can stay alive for years feasting on the flesh of a corpse.
Too bad for our friend, he was still alive when they started eating him.
So somebody threw these in with our guy, and then they slowly ate him alive?
Very slowly.
He sure wasn't a popular guy when they planted him.
He probably got a little too frisky with the Pharaoh's daughter.
According to my readings...
...our friend suffered the Hom-Dai, the worst of all ancient Egyptian curses...
...one reserved only for the most evil of blasphemers.
l've never heard of this curse having actually been performed.
-That bad? -Yes, well, they....
They never used it because they feared it so.
lt's written that if a victim of the Hom-Dai should ever arise...
...he would bring with him the ten plagues of Egypt.
That's called stealing, you know.
According to you and my brother...
...it's called borrowing.
l thought the Book ofAmun-Ra was made out of gold.
lt is made out of gold. This isn't the Book ofAmun-Ra.
This is something else.
l think this may be the Book of the Dead.
The Book of the Dead?
Should you be playing around with it?
lt's just a book. No harm ever came from...
...reading a book.
That happens a lot around here.
What's it say?
"Amun-Ra. Amun-Dei."
lt speaks of the night and of the day.
No!
You must not read from the book!
Run!
Go, go!
What have we done?
Where'd they come from?
l ain't waiting around to find out.
My glasses. Where are my glasses?
Leave me! Leave me!
Could you help me find my--
Wait for me!
Who's there?
Daniels?
Scarabs!
-Run, Evy! -Go, go! Run!
-Evelyn? -Evy?
Mr. Burns. Thank goodness.
l was just starting to get scared.
l've lost everyone. l--
My eyes. My eyes.
Please help me.
He took my tongue.
Please don't leave me.
Anck-su-namun?
Damn it! lt's a trapdoor.
There must be a switch around here someplace.
Run, you sons of bitches! Run!
Go.
Go! Go!
Come with me my Princess Anck-su-namun.
There you are! Stop playing hide-and-seek.
Let's get out of here.
Evy!
-Move! -Did you see that?
lt was walking. lt was walking!
l told you to leave or die. You refused.
Now you may have killed us all.
You have unleashed a creature we have feared for 3,000 years.
-Relax. l got him. -No mortal weapon can kill this creature.
He's not of this world.
-You bastards. -What did you do to him?
We saved him before the creature could finish his work.
Leave, all of you, quickly, before he finishes you all.
We must now hunt him and find a way to kill him.
l already told you l got him.
Know this.
This creature is the bringer of death.
He will never eat, he will never sleep...
...and he will never stop.
May the good Lord protect and watch over me...
...as a shepherd watches over his flock.
No? Okay.
The language of the slaves...
...l may have use for you.
And the rewards...
...will be great.
My prince.
Where are the other sacredjars?
FORT BRYDON, CAlRO
l thought you said you didn't believe in fairy tales.
Encountering a 3,000-year-old walking, talking corpse...
...tends to convert one.
Forget it. We're out the door, down the hall and we're gone.
-No, we are not. -Yes, we are.
No. We woke him up, and we are going to stop him.
What "we"? "We" didn't read that book.
l told you not to play around with that thing. Didn't l?
Yes, then me. l woke him up and l intend to stop him.
How? You heard the man. No mortal weapons can kill this guy.
Then we are just going to have to find some immortal ones.
-There goes that "we" again. -Will you listen to me? We have to do--
Once this creature is reborn his curse will spread till the earth is destroyed.
{100120}-ls that my problem? -lt is everybody's problem.
{100196}l appreciate you saving my life but when l signed on...
{100265}...l agreed to take you out there and to bring you back.
{100316}l've done that. End of job. End of story.
{100377}-Contract terminated. -That's all l mean to you?
{100423}You can either tag along with me...
{100500}...or you can stay here and try and save the world!
{100557}-What's it gonna be? -l'm staying.
{100593}-Fine! -Fine.
{100921}l'm the last of the Royal Air Force still stationed out here, you know.
{100995}Some bloody idiot spilled his drink.
{101088}All the other laddies died in the sky and were buried in the sand.
{101153}Good chaps, every one of them, too.
{101191}Hi, Winston.
{101251}You know, O'Connell...
{101380}...ever since the end of the Great War, there hasn't been a single challenge...
{101436}...worthy of a man like me.
{101499}Yeah? We all got our little problems today.
{101578}l just wish l could have chucked it in with the others...
{101636}...and gone down in flame and glory...
{101741}...instead of sitting around here rotting of boredom and booze.
{101772}Cheers.
{101904}Back to the airfield.
{102001}-Has your sister always been-- -Yes, always.
{102075}We're all packed, but the boat doesn't leave till tomorrow.
{102134}Tail set firmly between your legs, l see.
{102224}You don't have a sacred walking corpse after you.
{102306}How's your friend?
{102428}He had his eyes and his tongue ripped out. How would you be?
