The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb Page #6

Adam, darling! Are you all right?

Any luck?

No good at all.

- More Brandy?

- Yes, please.

Every solitary reference

to the curse agrees

that only those directly involved

in the opening of the tomb

are in mortal danger.

What was that?

The curtains.

Now!

Stop it!

O ra-antef,

thou mighty prince of Egypt,

son of the pharaoh of pharaohs,

gaze down upon the humblest

of thy humble servants,

who has transgressed against thee,

and heaped ridicule upon thy head,

may the memory of my

ancestors be erased forever,

and the memory of my unworthy self,

remain only in the minds of vermin,

and the deceased creatures of the earth.

I, who have committed the unforgivable,

and allied myself with desecrators

and non-believers,

implore thee to destroy my body painfully,

and my soul will pay penance,

through all eternity.

Sergeant!

See where he goes,

but keep your distance.

- Find something to cover him up.

- Yes, sir.

So, our theory was

proved right, inspector.

Yes, it was, sir. Thank heavens.

The mummy only kills those

who disturb its peace.

Then that leaves you and

miss Dubois in danger.

I still don't understand.

Why should the mummy attack you?

It goes against all the known legends.

I think I can answer that for you.

No. This way.

This way, darling.

I can't believe it.

Everything here is in

such perfect condition!

And this!

This is a pharaoh's crown.

That has always been mine.

I don't understand.

Sweet Annette, there is much I would have

to tell you before you could understand.

Think back first to the legend of ra.

Even there, there are facts

you could not know.

When rameses heard the news

of the death of his favourite son,

he suffered a stroke

which was finally to kill him.

On his death bed,

he sent for the person

who had been truly responsible

for both of these happenings

and he cursed that person.

Cursed him to everlasting life,

unless he could die by

the hand of his own brother.

- How would you know that?

- Because I am that person!

Be.

Youngest son of rameses viii,

pharaoh of pharaohs.

Cursed to eternal wandering.

For I could never die!

The only person that could

release me from the curse

had already been rendered useless

by the hands of my own assassins.

Until now.

Now I can die.

When your father found

the tomb of my brother

he provided the means,

but it was lifeless.

When you gave us the medallion,

you provided the words

that would revive it.

While the hand of my brother lives,

i must use it.

So, you see, Annette,

we will be together, as I wanted.

Now,

repeat after me:

Awaken, o silent one,

thou who has slept.

Say m.

Awaken, o silent one,

thou who has slept.

Appear.

Thou art justified against

those who sought to harm thee.

Appear. Thou are justified against those...

Osiris, father of all,

give this, thy servant that which you

bestow upon the unborn bird in the egg.

Give it the breath of life!

Set the time that it may come forth,

and loudly raise up its voice

to praise thee.

Awake, o ra, my brother.

Awake, ra, son of

the pharaoh of pharaohs.

Awake, ra, prince of the desert.

Welcome, my brother.

The time is now at hand for you

to complete your earthly mission

that you may rest in peace again

for all eternity.

First, destroy the last

of the desecrators!

Adam! Stop him! You're mad!

Ra, your work must not be

defiled by the presence of others.

John! John, help me!

John!

Adam!

Ow!

- Where does this lead to?

- Under the main road, sir.

- For god's sake, do something!

- All right, come on!

There.

Stop him, Adam! Stop him, please!

My darling, don't be

frightened of death.

Welcome it as a release from the

torture and torment that is called life!

Oh, I want to live!

That is nothing compared to

the pain that I have seen

wandering this earth

for 3,000 years!

Plagues, famine, pestilence, wars,

and man's daily inhumanity

to his fellow men!

That is more cruel, more painful

than this mangled stump!

Life without end is the only pain

i can no longer bear.

Now, ra, now.

Kill her!

Kill her!

My ascetic, beauty-loving brother!

There she is!

I can't see anyone else!

Annette! Annette!

Right, lower the rope, inspector!

I'll go down!

Rest, my father. Rest.
