The Mummy Page #19
EVELYN:
You better think of something,
because if he turns me into a
mummy, your the first one I'm
coming after.
O'Connell almost smiles
O'CONNELL
Got guts, lady.
EVELYN:
Yes, I know, and I'd like to
keep them.
Imhotep suddenly notices something. He reaches forward and--
RIPS THE KEY/BOX OUT OF JONATHAN'S UPPER JACKET POCKET.
JONATHAN:
Hey that's mine--!
Ardeth Bay holds Jonathan back. Imhotep pulls Evelyn away.
O'Connell can't take it anymore, he tries to break free of
Ardeth Bay's grip.
O'CONNELL
Evelyn!
The huge, powerful man holds him tight.
ARDETH BAY:
we can stop him yet.
The crowd parts for Imhotep and Evelyn. And then Imhotep
stops and looks back at O'Connell.
IMHOTEP:
Pared oos.
Evelyn SCREAMS.
EVELYN:
NOOO!!
Beni smiles.
BENI:
Kill them.
Imhotep pulls her away. O'Connell breaks free of Ardeth Bay's
grip and stumbles forward.
O'CONNELL
EVELYN!
But the rabid vultures are already moving in for the kill.
O'Connell quickly bends down, pulls open a CISTERN/MANHOLE
COVER and shoves Jonathan down inside it, then jumps in after
him. The Curator pushes Ardeth Bay towards the cistern hole.
CURATOR:
Go! Find a way! Kill the creature!
The Curator turns and throws himself at the mob as Ardeth Bay
crawls down into the hole. The mob tears the Curator apart.
INT. CATACOMBS - NIGHT
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay slosh their way down the
watery catacomb, crazies pouring in behind them. Up ahead, a
LIGHT suddenly shines in from another cistern hole, and then
more of the infected crowd drop down, SCREECHING like rats.
O'Connell jags right, pushing Jonathan and Ardeth Bay ahead
of him, he strikes a match off the wall, lights the nubby
fuse on a stick of dynamite, throws it, and runs like hell.
FIRE BLAST incinerates a bunch of crazies.
STREET - ALLEY - NIGHT
The EXPLOSION blows a cistern cover fifty feet into the air,
followed by a mass of FLAMMAGE ..............
EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT
A sewer grate is kicked out of a wall. O'Connell, Jonathan
and Ardeth Bay climb out of the hole and into AN ALLEY.
O'CONNELL
We gotta get her back.
JONATHAN:
I'm with you, old man. No one
touches my sister like that and
gets away with it.
O'Connell looks at Ardeth Bay,
O'CONNELL
You know where he's taking her?
ARDETH BAY:
Yes. To Hamunaptra. To perform
the ritual.
Jonathan looks worried.
JONATHAN:
And what ritual would that be?
ARDETH BAY:
The ritual to bring the body of
Anck-su-namun back to life.
JONATHAN:
And how does one do that?
ARDETH BAY:
By reading the Book Of The Dead.
JONATHAN:
Oh yes, of course.
ARDETH BAY:
And then killing your sister.
JONATHAN:
Excuse me?
Ardeth Bay looks at O'Connell,
ARDETH BAY:
Imhotep is now able to cross the
desert with great haste.
Jonathan taps him in the shoulder,
JONATHAN:
Begging your pardon, but I wasn't
quite clear on that last part.
Ardeth Bay ignores him,
ARDETH BAY:
If he arrives before us, it will
be too late.
JONATHAN:
Did you say 'kill' my sister?
O'Connell smiles
O'CONNELL
I know how to beat him to it.
And on that WE SMASH CUT TO-- THE ERFOUD DUNES - DAWN
Jonathan's bashed-in convertible steams it's way up to a set
of semi-abandoned Quonset huts. A single WWI BIPLANE with
R.A.F. INSIGNIAS sits in the sand beside them. A SIGN READS:
EXT. QUONSET HUT - DUNES - MINUTES LATER
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay stand before Winston
Havlock, the massive dunes of Erfoud as our background.
WINSTON:
So what's your little problem
got to do with His Majesty's
Royal Air Corp?
O'CONNELL
Not a god-damned thing.
Winston looks intrigued.
WINSTON:
is it dangerous?
O'CONNELL
You probably won't live through it,
This really interests him.
WINSTON:
By Jove, do you really think so?
JONATHAN:
Everybody else we've bumped into
has died, why not you?
Winston nods his head, he's hooked.
WINSTON:
So what's the challenge then?
O'CONNELL
To save the damsel in distress,
kill the bad guy and steal his
treasure.
A slow grin spreads across Winston's face, then he gives them
a snappy salute.
WINSTON:
Winston Havlock at your service, sir!
SAHARA - DAY
Way off across the desert, a large SAND-DEVIL races over the
dunes. The SANDY WHIRLWIND comes to a stop and starts to
dissipate. Evelyn and Beni are suddenly ejected out of it,
they land in a dune. The SWIRLING SAND CONDENSES AND FORMS
INTO IMHOTEP. He looks up into the sky, listening carefully.
Evelyn shakes the sand out of her hair and looks at Beni.
EVELYN:
what just happened?
BENI:
All I remember is him turning
into a blast of sand, ....and
then I remember nothing.
then they hear a plane in the sky and look up.
INT. BIPLANE - DAY
The WIND whips at Winston in the cockpit. O'Connell sits in
the gunner's compartment. Jonathan is strapped spread-eagle
across the left wing, Ardeth Bay is tied tight to the right.
Both men are scared out of their wits and SCREAMING in fear.
EXT. SAHARA - DAY
Imhotep's jaw UNHINGES, his mouth opens to an inhuman size,
he lets fly with another one of his horrible SHRIEKS. --And
a massive WALL OF SAND rises up out of the desert
BIPLANE - DAY
O'Connell watches the desert below him come alive and rise
up towards the plane. Winston looks over the side and sees
what's coming. He laughs, throws the throttle, and puts the
plane into a dive.
WINSTON:
Hang on, men!
WE GO WIDE AS:
The sandstorm chases the diving, twistingbiplane. Getting closer and closer, about to engulf it.
O'Connell looks back into the blinding sand and sees a GIANT
FACE forming inside the sandstorm. It's Imhotep. Grinning.
O'Connell grabs the Lewis machine-gun, c*cks the bracket and
FIRES, blasting away at Imhotep's giant face inside the
sandstorm. Imhotep's face begins to laugh, then his jaw
unhinges, his mouth opens wide, and he ENGULFS the plane.
Winston blindly fights for control, elated.
WINSTON:
We're going down!
The biplane SPINS inside the BLOWING SAND. Engines ROARING.
Wind HOWLING. Jonathan and Ardeth Bay SCREAMING. Winston
Havlock LAUGHING.
WINSTON:
Here I come, laddies!
O'Connell braces himself for impact,
SAHARA - DAY
Evelyn leaps to her feet and runs over to Imhotep.
EVELYN:
Stop it! You'll kill them!
Imhotep grabs her, pulls her close, her beautiful eyes stare
into his shockingly intense ones. Then he kisses her, hard.
Evelyn's eyes widen, stunned and mesmerized, then she pushes
herself away and falls back into the sand. Imhotep laughs.
The biplane SMASHES over a dune, ROLLS OVER and CRASHES
upside-down into another dune. The SAND SWIRLS as O'Connell
falls out of the gunner's compartment. The left wing is
jammed into the dune, Jonathan hangs upside down.
JONATHAN:
Excuse me. ...A little help
would be useful. ...IF IT'S
O'Connell goes to help Jonathan. Ardeth Bay stumbles over to
the gunner's compartment and tears the Lewis gun off it's
mount. He throws the machine-gun over one shoulder, a
cartridge belt over the other and staggers away. O'Connell
and Jonathan look into the cockpit. Winston Havlock is dead.
