Prisoners of the Sun Page #2

Call Sarah, in London.

Tell her, her father needs her.

Masterton! Professor Mendella is

exhausted. You can see for yourself.

He hasn't slept in weeks.

Can we delay it?

He needs to rest.

Dr. Adler! That pyramid is

an Astronomical Observatory

dedicated to a celestial event

that occurs once every 5000 years.

The next occurrence is at 12:37,

on Thursday, the 12th of this month.

Three days. Three days Dr. Adler.

I will be inside that

pyramid in three days!

Have a look at it.

I've deciphered what I can.

Some panels damaged, some missing.

Are you alright?

Time to get you home.

- Got to prepare for tomorrow

- We'll pack it in for tonight.

I really do not feel so good.

Maybe I can persuade

Masterton to delay a few days...

It would be preferable, but he's calculated

his timing from his astrological studies.

He won't change.

All right.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Your client is here.

Went to see the new pyramid?

Amazing, isn't it?

Do you watch me clap as well?

Ah my friend, this is a mysterious

country. Oh, you should know that...

You married a beautiful Egyptian woman.

People have a habit of disappearing.

- I'm just protecting my investment.

- And what would that investment be?

Ici...

Au revoir.

The Key of Heaven.

Without it, you can't enter the tomb.

I too have been researching the legend

of the Sun God for some years now...

I will buy it off.

You name your price.

I have money up front.

I don't need that Masterton.

If the legend is true, this pyramid being

exposed would seem to confirm things.

There are riches beyond

belief buried in there.

This is my mission.

Well, I'm coming with you,

whether you like it or not.

I am following an

explicit set of instructions

that were laid down

over 5000 years ago.

- There is no place for you in...

- There is now.

The walking stick with

your fingerprints all over it

is approaching the

police station as we speak.

Now, if I don't call my man in a...

let's see.. three minutes...

The delivery takes place

and bye-bye pyramid.

You're bluffing.

Khalfani didn't think so.

Only tomb you're likely to visit is

your own in a Cairo prison cell.

Not a good place to be.

Bring the key and my stick to my

office tomorrow and you can come...

Yah and the key over inside

when we enter together.

Stick stays with me.

Stop the delivery.

Professor?

Professor?

Professor!

Professor.

- Come on.

- Oh. It's all right.

It's all right.

- I'm okay.

- You're not okay.

Look Doug. You've studied

with me for over 4 years now.

You will have to go.

I don't have a millionth of

your experience, you know.

How can I go?

You belittle yourself. You've got a

very strong instinct for this field.

Let's go back to your basic knowledge. You

can decipher this, you've done it before.

- I'm calling it off.

- It has to be tomorrow.

You know what Masterton said

about the position of Earth...

There is more to this

pyramid than meets the eye.

It's not just the burial place

of princess Amanphur.

That is a cloak.

It is part of the mystery.

Look.

The symbols suggest Osiris.

You have to go.

Don't worry... I'll survive.

I promise.

You'd better.

- You must be Sarah?

- Yes

I'm Ahmed. Your father sent me.

He's looking for you at the office.

- Is the rest of the team here?

- The rest coming tonight.

Sarah...

- It's been too long.

- You knew where I was.

Yes. Since your mother died, things

been a little frantic around here.

I'd to visit her grave

before we begin.

Welcome.

Mama, I'm here.

You always sang a song for me

when I couldn't sleep.

Do you remember?

That the great Princess Amanphur

and her fantastic kingdom.

And the one day, when

the rain turned into fire.

But the Princess's children

wouldn't have to fear a thing.

And you called me little princess.

I liked that.

Now I'll find what happened to you.

I promise.

Hi, can you tell me where

the conference room is, please?

- Yes, I'll check for you, sir.

- Thank you.

Dr. Adler...

This is Miss Masterton.

I cannot seem to find Professor Mendella.

My father arranged for him

meet up for a drink at his villa.

You think you could

get him there now?

Oh, he is rather tired. Is there anyway

we can delay the meeting a few hours?

My father didn't fly me halfway across

the world, for me to wait one's sleep.

The villa in half an hour.

Dr. Adler.

- Hi.

I thought I was a little sort

with you on the phone earlier

So I called to apologize and I

saw you answer. Where is Mendella?

Can we talk for a moment?

I don't have much time.

My father expects me in a few minutes.

Professor Mendella is in the hospital.

He is critical.

He had a heart attack, and he

asked me to come in his place.

With all due respect, Dr. Adler,

you hardly qualify.

Mendella's been working

with my father for years.

Plus, he is unique in his field.

You, what are you?

I guess you'll never know, will you?

Sarah, this is Adam.

He'll be working with us.

He helped to set this up.

I've heard so much about you.

And of course, your mother.

- Really?

- I must go to the hotel, meet the others.

- Who is he?

- I'll fill you in later.

- Did you find Mendella?

- He is not coming.

He had a heart attack.

He is in intensive care.

Look, he did send his assistant along.

A Dr. Adler.

- Where is he?

- I was of sorts, I think I upset him.

He left.

Does this Dr. Adler know anything?

He has worked closely with Professor

Mendella for the last 4 years...

True and Professor Mendella

doesn't suffer fools.

This could be a disaster.

I was a little rude back there.

Look Ms Masterton, I don't want view

this anymore than you want me to view.

- That's not the point, Mr. Adler.

- It's Doctor.

Doctor can you come and join us at

the private bar at the Sphinx Hotel?

I'm really sorry I was rude,

I had no place to be.

Well I'm a...

- I'll be there

- Accepted.

A very beautiful sky this morning,

and yet you all look at me.

I am Professor Rohit Singh,

from India.

- And you must be...

- Doug Adler.

You must be the antiquities expert.

Antiquities and future.

Where is Professor Mendella?

Every piece of the jigsaw

puzzle is now on board.

- Rohit

- Professor Masterton.

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

All present and correct.

With the exception of Professor Mendella

who sadly cannot be with us today.

- Professor Masterton... I'm sorry...

- Where is Mendella?

Mendella suffered a heart attack

in the early hour of the morning.

Oh my God.

His ability to decipher the indecipherable

has been of immense value to my studies.

However, Dr. Adler here

has been Mendella's assistant

and he has volunteered

to take his place.

Excuse me, Professor Masterton.

Professor Mendella is the

foremost authority in his field.

And for this journey

we need an expert.

Yes. Well we shall just have to

make do with what we have.

Dr. Adler has worked with Professor

Mendella for the past 4 years...

He is far better qualified than some crusty
