The Mummy's Ghost Page #4

The light.

The sign.

Oh, Kharis.

This must be the hour.

Now you will find her.

By the light and by the sign,

you will know her.

Go.

Well,

I guess we're on our way.

I'm very sorry to subject you

to this, Mrs. Norman.

That's all right.

I want to help.

Perhaps this time,

these horrors will be ended.

Thank you. Now,

just where was your husband

the last time you saw him?

He was seated there.

Is that about right?

Yes.

I came down to ask him

to come to bed,

to let his experiment

wait until morning.

Mmm-hmm.

Doctor, will you please

take the professor's place?

Certainly.

Now, just what was he doing?

Well, he was simply boiling

some leaves and taking notes.

That was all.

What about the lights?

This lamp was on.

And the only other light

was the one there on the desk.

Will you turn out

the other lights, please?

Now, Mrs. Norman,

can you remember

anything else,

any remark of his

that might be important?

No, I don't think so.

Wait. He was excited

about something.

It seems he had

just discovered

what some writing

meant on there.

Try to remember,

Mrs. Norman.

Mmm.

I think it was

something about nine.

He said nine as if

it was very important.

Important?

Why, it's the clue

I needed to complete this.

Nine...

Nine tana leaves.

That's what he meant.

Fine. That's fine.

Thank you, Mrs. Norman.

You've been a great help.

Now, will you

please go to your room?

We have a couple

of men on guard,

so you'll be perfectly safe.

Thank you.

Sheriff.

Well, I guess

we're all ready.

Go ahead, Doctor.

Yes?

What about Amina?

Wait a minute, I...

Get help! Hurry!

How deep did you dig it?

Ten feet. All right?

Yeah, it should be.

You're going to

camouflage that better,

aren't you?

Oh, sure.

Now you men know

what we're out for tonight.

I think we're playing

a long shot, but it may work.

Now I want you men

to spread out

and watch for the mummy.

If he shows himself at all,

keep him heading this way.

Now you men,

take the north end

of the turnpike road...

Beg your pardon,

Sheriff.

But if the mummy

starts this way at all,

he'll come all the way

in order to get

what he's after.

If he gets here,

we're gonna need

every man we've got

to handle him.

I suggest that

you concentrate your forces

right around the house here.

Okay, Inspector,

it's your show.

Now if the monster gets here,

don't any of you try

to tackle him alone.

Simply let him come through.

We want to

trap him in that pit

if it's humanly possible.

Is that clear?

Yes, Inspector.

Okay, boys,

stick to the grounds,

and good luck.

Sheriff Elwood, help!

Hurry, it's the mummy!

Look out! There's a pit!

Please,

I've got to see the sheriff.

Here I am, Mrs. Blake.

What happened?

Amina, the mummy took her!

The fields!

Come on, men!

All right, take her home.

Come here. Come here.

Where is she, boy?

Where is she? Show me.

The light

and the sign.

Ananka.

She's beautiful, Kharis.

As she was centuries ago.

And she has returned.

The will of Amon-Ra

has been done.

Kharis, we turn our eyes

toward home.

Who are you?

Why am I here?

I am a Priest of Arkam,

and you are here

because the gods

have willed it so.

Let me go.

Do you not know who you are?

I am Amina Mansouri. I...

You are the Princess Ananka,

third daughter of Amenophis,

onetime pharaoh

of all Egypt.

You're mad.

Centuries ago,

you died a cursed death.

No...

The birthmark of Ananka,

symbol of the Priests

of Arkam.

You cannot

escape your destiny.

It's not true.

It is true.

For those who defy the will

of the ancient gods,

a cruel and violent death

shall be their fate.

Never shall they

find rest unto eternity.

You have done

your work well, Yousef Bey.

The gods will look

with favor upon you.

Why do you not rejoice?

Perhaps because it grieves you

to consign this lovely girl

to death again.

Why should she not live,

Yousef Bey?

Why should you not live?

I live...

I live to fulfill my destiny

as a Priest of Arkam.

But what of

your destiny as a man?

You are thousands of miles

from the tombs of Arkam.

She is thousands of years

from her sin.

Look at her.

She is beautiful.

Kharis dared to love her.

Are you less brave than he?

Almighty Isis,

protect me in this,

my hour of temptation.

Give me

the strength to fulfill

my vows as a Priest of Arkam.

The tana leaves, Yousef Bey.

The tana leaves...

They would keep her

young and beautiful forever.

Take them, Yousef Bey.

You and Ananka

together forever.

Forever.

You have nothing more to fear.

Not death nor decay.

Here in this cup is

my gift of life to you.

I am going to

make you immortal.

And I, too,

shall drink and be immortal.

We will not return to Egypt.

Our world shall be wide.

Our time shall be without end.

Has any man before offered

a gift of eternal life

to his bride?

Kharis! Stop!

I'll take her back,

Kharis!

Together, we'll go to Arkam.

The three of us! I swear it!

Good dog.

We're onto something.

Come on, boys.

It's young Hervey, Sheriff!

How is he?

The monster...

Up there. Amina.

Come on, men!

Stay with him, Doc.

Looks like somebody else

has been messing around

with tana leaves.

And not so long ago.

Now, now, wait.

You'd better take it easy.

Yeah, just...

There's nobody

up in that shack.

Listen.

Amina! Amina!

You can't go in that swamp.

It's certain death.

Let go of me.

Hervey. Hervey!

Come back here!

Amina! Amina!

Hervey!

Hang on, boy.

The fate of those who defy

the will of the ancient gods

shall be a cruel

and violent death.
