The Mummy's Hand Page #5

Good night.

Hey, it won't hurt you to get

a little sleep too, partner.

Babe, I think we're

on the right track.

Tomorrow, we'll divide up

the cave into sections...

and each works...

[Marta Screaming]

What's the matter?

It's Ali.

He's been killed.

Look, those gray

streaks on his throat.

Yeah, just

like on Petrie's.

Poor Ali.

That means that petrie

was killed the same way.

Hey, there's somebody

around here that just

don't like company.

Ah, ohh-ohh!

Steve, l...

Marta, you're not the only one

that's jittery around here.

We're all getting out

first thing in the morning.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Steve.

I realize how much this

expedition meant to you.

Well, this doesn't

mean that I'm quitting.

I'll get some help

and I'll come back.

As soon as I know that you

and your father are safe.

I think it's better if you two

sleep in my tent tonight.

Babe and I will stand watch

until it's light enough

to get an early start.

Whatever you say, Steve.

We can stay up with you.

Well, somebody oughta get

some shut-eye around here.

I'll get your things.

Don't let anything happen

to him, will you, Babe?

Kind of like to have

him around, don't you?

Me too.

Marta,

you're all set.

Good night, Babe.

Good night, Marta.

You go on and get

some sleep, Marta.

We'll get a start

as soon as it's light.

Steve.

Yes?

I wish you'd give all

this up and come back

to the states with us.

Well, I can't

promise you that,

but I will be

back sometime.

You mind if I say I think

you're a swell person?

Hmm?

[Choking]

Babe! Babe,

what's the matter?

What happened?

I was practicing

my rock trick.

Well, the next time,

you better practice

on a pebble.

Oh.

[Distant Howling]

[Marta]

Pop.

What?

Pop, I'm afraid.

There's something about

that cave that no one

of us understands.

There's something going on that

we're just powerless to stop.

Nonsense, honey.

You're just all unstrung.

In a month,

we'll be back home...

standing 'em in

the aisles again.

Okay, Pop.

Good night.

Good night.

[Distant Howling]

Babe, those jackals

give me goose pimples.

Ah, they give me goose pimples

on top of my goose pimples.

[Choking]

[Marta Screaming]

Marta!

Marta.

Don't you worry,

Mr. Solvani.

We'll find her.

Babe!

Marta! Marta!

Hey, look!

This urn is busted. They must

have come through here.

How could they

have disappeared?

How does anything

happen around here?

I'm gonna take a look outside.

Oh, you're not

leaving me here alone.

- Look out, Babe!

- [Gunshot]

It's the beggar

from the bazaar.

What would he

be doing here?

I don't know. Look.

[Steve]

Why, it's the same drawing that

was on that vase, complete.

Look. There's the cave

of Kharis clearly marked.

And on the other side of the

hill, it looks like a temple.

Right by the temple is

the whole of Ananka's name.

Yeah, but those lines

between her tomb and the cave.

That must be the passageway

we've been looking for.

That's how they disappeared.

You take a shot at trying

to find the temple on the

other side of the hill...

and I'll see if I can't locate

the entrance to that passageway.

One of us is bound

to get through.

Okay, boss, if I don't get

back before dawn, forget it.

Poopsie, up to now,

you've been a complete washout.

Now let me see

you do your stuff.

You will return at once to

the tombs of our ancient dead.

There you will find

more of the fluid.

Go while the moon is

yet high in the heavens.

Your power to move

wanes with the moon.

There's nothing

to be afraid of.

You're quite safe.

That awful creature!

You're very beautiful.

So beautiful, I'm going

to make you immortal.

Like Kharis,

you will live forever.

What I can do for you,

I can also do for myself.

Neither time nor

death can touch us.

You and I,

together for eternity.

Here in the temple of Karnak,

you shall be my high priestess.

"And thus...

"will Kharis be kept alive...

"by the tana leaves...

"during the cycle of...

the full moon."

I'm going to prepare enough

fluid from these tana leaves...

to make us both immortal.

No! No!

You will be grateful

for this gift.

Mummy case.

You're mad.

Steve Banning will

find you and kill you.

If by some chance, he should

escape Kharis and kill me,

your peril will

be great indeed.

What do you mean?

If Kharis should obtain

the rest of the tana fluid,

he would become a monster such

as the world has never known.

Ah, what's the matter with me?

I must be getting nervous.

Come on, Poopsie.

I don't think I would shoot

if I were you, Mr. Jenson.

Well, if it ain't our old

friend Professor Andoheb.

At your service.

What are you doing out

here in the mountains,

selling real estate?

Not exactly...

Where's the girl?

Where you'll never

see her again.

No, she's not dead.

See here,

you Egyptian Mickey Finn,

I'll give you 'til three

to tell me where she is.

I'm not kidding. One...

You wouldn't shoot an

unarmed man in cold blood.

Two.

If you were to kill me,

you would leave at large

a monster...

whom only

I can control.

Three.

Mighty Isis,

forgive me.

[Marta] Steve.!

Marta, what happened?

How did you get here?

The mummy brought

me here. He's alive.

Yes, I know.

Pop. Is he all right?

He's all right.

Just a little shaken up.

We've got to get you

out of here in a hurry.

He's after tana fluid.

That's what must

be in this vial.

And in the urn, Steve.

It's full of the fluid.

You mustn't

let him get it.

Keep him

away from it.

[Marta]

Stop him.!

[Marta]

Stop him.!

Oh, how horrible.

Boy, was I glad

to see you.

Steve.

Ah, that's just

like a woman.

When the shooting's all over

and everything's Jake,

they pass out.

Marta! Marta!

Where did this come from?

Arab find it far

away in mountains.

No more

broken vases, dear.

We're going back

to America, remember?

Anything you say,

boss.

Hey, Steve.

Steve, I got a

cablegram for you.

Everything get on

the ship all right?

Yep. The jewels

of Ananka are safe

in the ship's vault.

Hey, what's cooking,

partner?

Read it.

The job in the bone-washing

department is no longer open.

Stop. I'm taking it myself.

Stop. You're getting my job.

Best regards,

Doc Lyons.
