The Pyramid Page #4

And if the gate has been standing here

for thousands of years,

maybe it's standing here for a reason.

Who are we to destroy it?

Jesus! Stop being an archaeologist

for a minute here,

- and start being a human being!

- Look, she's right, okay?

We have to look for help!

Maybe we can try the shaft.

Nora! Look at her face!

We don't know what's up there!

Look, guys,

we can't just sit around here.

Okay, we've got things up there

scratching people's faces.

- It stinks in here!

- So put your mask back on.

No, I'm serious, man. Listen, like...

If we can survive this drop

then so can it. Whatever it is.

And while we're trapped

in here we're like...

just like food in a bowl right now.

All right, fine.

- There. You got it?

- I got it. Let's go over here.

Yeah, we're fine.

Okay, one more. Ready? One, two...

Oh, God.

I don't know if it's safe in there.

For all we know that air could be...

Yeah, we'll take our chances.

If you ask me, it's not gonna be any worse

than the air we're breathing in here.

Yeah.

Hey.

- You take it.

- No.

No. What, you want to sit here

in the dark?

No.

And besides, if we get lost then maybe

we can follow the light back.

Okay?

You're not gonna need the hatchet,

but it's just in case.

I'm gonna go get you help, okay?

I'm gonna come back for you.

Hey, listen.

- It's that soldier! What's his name?

- Shadid!

- Shadid!

- Shadid, help us!

- Hello!

- We're right over here!

- Shadid!

- Where's it coming from?

Can't tell.

Did you guys hear that?

Help me! Help me!

What's happening to him?

You guys, that's not Shadid.

That's Michael.

- Michael!

- You should go! Go, go!

Find Shadid! Nora, wait!

Shouldn't we just go with them?

How are we supposed to find Shadid?

Hello?

Shadid!

Are you still there?

Michael.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no...

No, this isn't happening.

No!

- Okay.

- No, this is not possible.

- I think we have to get out of here.

- No, no, no.

- It's not safe.

- No, where is he?

No, no...

No, it's not happening. No.

- Nora.

- I don't believe it.

- Nora, Nora.

- No, I...

Honey, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I know you cared for him,

but we have to go.

- Michael...

- I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- Honey, we have to go.

- Michael!

- We have to join the others, okay?

- I can't...

Okay, honey, you've got to focus now.

We got to get out of this pyramid.

- It's not safe for us. Come on.

- Where did he go?

Come on. Okay, come on.

- Come on.

- I can't.

Come on.

We should never have followed them.

What's taking them so long?

Should... should we go back there?

Shadid! Shadid, can you hear us?

All right.

- What happened to Zahir?

- Zahir is dead.

He tried to shift the Boulder.

It rolled over and crushed him.

That's impossible. We couldn't shift

that thing between the four of us!

I don't know. I think he was chipping

away at it with the hatchet.

That's a load of bull.

We heard the screams.

If there's anything we've learned today

it's that you're talking out of your ass.

No, she's right, yeah.

You're lying to us.

What about the eyes I saw

at the top of the tunnel?

Whatever took a chunk

out of my face killed Zahir!

- Calm down, lady.

- Don't tell me to calm down!

I'm sorry... but robot guy

has just been devoured

by a creature we cannot identify,

for Christ's sake! "Calm down."

- Who the hell do you think...

- Nobody made you come!

My job is to follow you guys

with the camera.

What, are you just following orders now?

Step up and take responsibility

for your own actions!

Hey! Back off!

- Keep her away from me!

- Back off!

Jesus, Sunni, relax.

Don't tell me to relax! This a**hole

has led us into a death trap!

- I don't need this right now.

- Look, Sunni, all right?

You're panicking

and you're freaking out!

You're just looking for someone

to blame right now.

I found him.

Well, that attitude is not going

to help us out right now, is it?

All right, just relax.

Come on, just breathe.

I'm su... I'm sure we can

find a way out of here.

What we need to do is to find Shadid.

He got in here, we can get out.

- Yeah.

- How's that?

Yeah, great.

What's up?

No, it was nothing.

Come on, Fitzie, you go first.

What?

- Me?

- Yes.

What am I, a bloody Guinea pig?

For God's sake.

Are you seeing how tight this is?

Just go.

Bloody hell.

- Are you sure this is the way?

- Can't be sure of anything in this place.

So...

Remind me again, guys, what do I do

if this thing jumps out at me,

and scratches my face off?

You try to put as much distance

as you can between you and it.

Right, this is probably

about as fast as I can move right now.

Just move faster, Fitzie! I don't want

to be here long enough to find out!

Guys.

- Guys?

- Yeah.

- Something's behind us!

- What do we do? What do we do?

- Keep going!

- Just move! Move!

Just move, Fitzie! Move!

Go! Go! Go!

Go as fast as you can, Fitzie!

It's coming faster!

Sh*t.

- Oh, God!

- Don't stop.

Oh, God. Oh, my God!

There's something here.

Sh*t!

- Keep going. Keep going.

- It's coming faster!

Guys, the soldier's here!

It's Shadid.

Where the hell did he come from?

Hurry up, Fitzie!

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

- Get back. Get back.

- Everybody, get back! Get back!

Jesus.

What the hell was that?

Oh, my God.

- Holy sh*t!

- Lights! Fitzie! Come on.

Turn it off. Kill the light!

- We should...

- No, no, no.

Just don't move a muscle.

Fitzie, shut up.

We should be very quiet.

What the f*** was that?

I have no idea.

Did you see the claws on that thing?

What the hell is going on down here?

All right.

Don't go too close.

Is it gone?

Sunni, that scratch

is becoming really infected.

Your eye is not looking

too good, either.

We need to find an exit right now.

Please tell me there is something on this

wall that explains how to get out of here

or at least

what the bloody hell is after us.

This panel depicts the final judgment,

the weighing of souls.

What?

It's from the Egyptian book of the dead.

When a person died,

they passed into a room.

They were brought before Osiris

and a panel of judges.

And next to them was a massive scale.

Then the God Anubis weighed their heart

against Maat, the goddess of truth.

And if it balanced perfectly,

they passed into the afterlife.

They believed they were sent to the sky

to dwell among the stars.

I thought the book of the dead

was just full of spells and incantations.

No, it's more than that.

It's a guide to immortality.

This was central to Egyptian philosophy.

This is the final milestone.

What, and you believe

in this rubbish, do you?

They believed it. I think the priests

acted out this ritual.

None of this matters

unless we get out of here.

We've got to go. Let's go! Let's go.

What do you see?

It's a dead end.

F***!

- What was that?

- I thought you said don't touch anything.

What now?
