and legal housing...

Accept it...

As a guinea pig...

Apparently my body

is only three months old,

and my organs aren't

in the right place...

Not in the right place,

according to whose criteria?

You see that pyramid monument...

Do you think it's in its right place?

And me? Do you think I am?

There's something important

you should know.

This planet is rejecting me,

Jill...This atmosphere,

this oxygen, it's burning me up...

I have to take care

of you before it's too late.

I'm getting old, Jill,

I've been around for centuries...

I'm confused

Oh... My God...

Jesus!

This one's empty!

Restricted area.

... A flying pyramid,

a serial killer on the loose

and now a chunk

of prison falling from the sky.

Is someone out to sabotage

my political career or what?

It's like in one of those

Greek tragedies, Senator,

all the elements will fall into place...

What are you doing here,

Inspector FROEBE?

I'm looking for three

of my men who have disappeared.

Your serial killer again?

Don't think so.

Here. A gift for you.

What is it?

You should know better than me.

Give me that!

This is way out of your league.

I haven't found

the man who goes with this...

"Remember...

Remember the sight we saw, my soul,

that beautiful soft summer morning..."

"...round a turning in the path..."

Thank you...

..."a disgusting carcass

on a bed scattered with stones,

its legs in the air like

a woman in heat..."

"Remember the sight we saw, my soul,

that beautiful soft summer morning...

round a turning in the path,

a disgusting carcass

on a bed scattered with stones,

its legs in the air like a woman

in heat..."

"... like a fountain

with its rhythmical sobs.

I can hear it clearly flowing

with a long,

murmuring sound, but I touch my body

in vain to find the wound..."

"...I am the vampire of my own heart,

One of the great outcasts condemned

to eternal laughter

who can no longer smile...".

Am I dead? I must be dead.

And you...

I know you,

you are from Hierakonopolis.

The god of the heavens.

I'm flattered, Nikopol,

wretched human.

...Anubis can't be far away?

The guardian of the tombs...

The god of the dead...

Don't ever speak

that jackal's name again,

you understand? Only my name...

Only me...

OK.. OK...

My leg!... Where is my leg?

You can see you're not dead...

The dead don't feel pain...

The dead don't bleed either.

Yeah,

I'm alive and I'm bleeding like a pig.

Listen carefully, I won't say it twice.

For two of your days now,

I have been looking for a host body,

for reasons that go far beyond any

human concerns.

I need a body

to welcome me and serve me.

You... You seem to be suitable.

I've tested seven humans before you

and rejected them all... But you,

your body is clean.

You come from the past...

Thirty years of hibernation...

Your body won't reject me.

We are compatible.

What year is it? Who set me free?

Your release is an accidental escape.

I was supposed to be let out in 2096.

I was released a year ahead

of schedule.

I've gained a year

but Iost a leg. F***!

Forget the old one...

Here's a new one.

Yes... Thank you for calling.

That was the forensic scientist

from Globus...

And?

The leg has been identified.

And?

Well... it belongs to... Nikopol.

Perfect

There's no way.

This thing weighs a ton.

I'll never be able to move.

That's right.

Without me you won't be able to move.

And by the way,

from now on you won't be able

to do much of anything without me...

I accept that I'm not dead now.

But I hope I'm dreaming this.

Please God let this be a nightmare.

Let this all be a nightmare...

You believe in God?

I don't even have that to fall back on.

I suggest you believe in me, Nikopol...

Do I have a choice?

I'm afraid not.

Now, rise and walk.

I've relinquished control, Nikopol,

you can have a bit of autonomy now.

I want you to know that everything

is going perfectly well.

Your body is very comfortable

and tolerates me beautifully...

And above all you're most elegant.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Elegant, famous and subversive.

Just what I like ...

It seems you're the instigator

of all this fighting

that's been going on without you...

Not bad for a human...

Would it be too much to ask

for just a bit more autonomy?

I'd like to choose my own clothes,

with the Iittle free

will I have left...

Your happiness is my priority,

Nikopol, Mr. Free spirit.

How is Doctor Elma Turner?

Never been better.

Welcome to the Western Hysteria Hotel.

Any friend of Dr Turner's

is a friend of mine.

Por ti Ketro...

That's for me?... Thanks...

What's your name?

Willy... Ketarakado... Willy...

Willy? OK, I'll call you Willy.

And you can call me Jill...

Temperature fourty four degrees

Number of teeth:
thirty seven unit,

thirty seven

No mammal dental blades,

unknown Buccal profile unknown...

Thank you Jill now you can make

the food test.

...with a list that's getting longer.

Eight victims, all male,

This just in,

Senator ALLGOOD has announced

that he will be on the Zeppelin

when the scientific delegation

and leading

Egyptologists make another attempt

to contact the inhabitants

of the Pyramid...

...the hydrometer rate

is down today in

Brooklyn for the fourth day running.

On INTRUSION, however, no change.

Snow, ice,

temperature 23 below freezing...

Twelve attempted break-ins

into lNTRUSlON have been

reported:
there are no survivors.

Do not approach the Central Park area.

DOWN! ... DOWN! ... DOWN!

...EVERY BODY DOWN!

Aber od neb aber, Bastet?

Are we cheating or not, Bastet?

Aber, Anubis,aber .

We're cheating,Anubis, we're cheating

You don't understand? Nikopol is alive!

Maybe not.

It was reported that He was shot

by a department store security guard

and fell a hundred meters...

But they couldn't find the body.

Are you telling me the man can fly?

I can put you on to Huxley,

Froebe's right hand man.

He's in charge of...

That's OK, Jonas. Thanks.

You can leave us now...

Right. Get the hell out

of here! Beat it!

He knows everything.

I know he knows everything,

and his phenomenal memory

is stuffed with enough evidence

concerning your late father's

financial dealings

and his illegal experiments

on alien populations to cause EUGENlCS

some very serious problems...

I am aware of that.

Up until now we've only had the spirit

of Nikopol to deal with,

but now we have him in flesh and blood.

No one's ever come back from GLOBUS.

Well, HE has. Why wasn't he executed

Are you crazy?... Are you crazy?

To make a hero out of him,

a martyr to their lousy revolution?

What do you want, riots,

assassination?!

It is the last prototype

of the "hunter" version.

Fast, ferocious and totally illegal.

He'll be quicker

than Froebe and his men.

Are you sure?

No, but it's the only solution...

Apart from your "protege".

No, not him...

Let's try this one first.

Come in!

You're early!

We have no time to lose

Is he ready?

Have you re-activated him yet?
