The Pyramid Page #6

Jesus.

Well, well, well, well.

We were not the first ones here.

What happened to him?

Sh*t. Sh*t, look at that.

- Hey, hey.

- What?

That's a freemason symbol.

They must've built the offshoot tunnel

that we entered.

Yeah, it makes sense.

All right, yeah,

this is all very interesting, but...

our main priority should be getting out

of here. The masons aren't important.

They were excellent tomb robbers.

If they couldn't find a way out...

- Sh*t.

- What?

- I can't read this.

- What is that?

Here, give it to me.

Guys, can we drop the history crap for

five minutes, please... and get out of here?

Just read it!

It's a journal.

Fitzie, I need your light.

"May 21st, 1897.

"The path we took upon our entry

into the pyramid has been blocked.

"We may have located a means of escape

in the burial chamber."

That's the last entry.

And this looks like

the burial chamber to me.

All right. Well, then...

there might be a means of escape!

You're right. We have to keep going.

We don't want to end up...

- Dad! Dad!

- Nora! Run!

Nora! Let's go!

No! I have to go back for him!

- No, we can't!

- I have to go back!

I'm sorry, we've got to go! Keep going!

Oh, my God!

What? No!

No! No!

Oh, my God.

I can't...

He's gone.

He's gone.

There must be some sort of latch or...

or mechanism that your dad found.

I don't know.

I don't...

You know what?

Screw it.

I'd rather face him once and for all

than spend the rest of my life running.

Are you out of your mind?

Nora, come on. Look at all

this sh*t we've been through!

Someone will find our tapes.

The least I can do is

let people know who killed me.

What is wrong with you?

My dad just died and all you care about

is getting your shot.

It's not about the shot, Nora.

I just don't know what else to do.

Fitzie, please don't leave me.

Fitzie, please... Fitzie...

- Oh, God.

- Help!

He's still alive.

Help... help, help...

No...

Nora.

It's me.

This isn't real.

No, this can't be happening.

It's impossible.

It's Anubis, or the devourer.

He took my father's heart

to weigh his soul.

What are you talking about?

Anubis, half man, half jackal.

He ate the hearts of those

he found to be impure.

In the book of the dead

the last judgment

is the final gate

before resurrection or damnation.

If there's a way out,

it's inside that room.

We don't have a choice. We can either

stay here and die, or we...

Or we can die trying.

Oh, God, it's the soldier.

Come on, Nora.

I'm so sorry, Dad.

Come on, Nora. Grab his flare.

Wait.

It tells the story of Osiris.

Osiris. No, no, no. You said Anubis.

Osiris was his father or his creator.

It's the same symbol for both words.

Egyptians believe Osiris

came from the heavens,

and brought agriculture

and tool-making...

I get that you find

this stuff fascinating, okay?

But right now what we should be

working on is how to get out of here.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Osiris knew that his time had come on earth

so he had this pyramid built

for his journey into the afterlife.

Nora, I promise you, look...

I've got it all down on tape.

All right? You can watch it back

as soon as we're out.

Anubis turned his wrath on the people.

He had hundreds of them sacrificed so he

could join his father in the afterlife.

Since his soul was corrupted,

he was looking for a pure one...

a pure heart, if you will.

The only way to enter

the final gate of heaven.

My father was right.

This pyramid became a prison.

Closed by the Egyptians

to get rid of their own God.

Nora, does this thing give us any clues

on how to get out of here?

- It says something about a star map.

- Then you got to find it, okay?

Because your friend Anubis

is gonna be back any minute now!

The exit shaft points to where the dead

was supposed to be resurrected.

Well, then... there must be

at least six shafts in this room.

How do we know which is the right one?

The stars...

Look at the ceiling.

Fitzie, turn off your light.

Look at the ceiling.

In between the hieroglyphs,

all those dots. That's the star map!

- So what exactly are we looking for?

- The tetrahedron.

The three-sided pyramid is also

the hieroglyphic symbol for the Sirius star.

Look! There it is. The brightest one.

It's right above this shaft.

It's got to be our way out!

Okay. Well, let's go check it out.

Okay. Come on!

It's got to be the one.

Look! The rope. That's got to be

how the soldier entered.

Thank you, captain Egypt.

You think that thing will hold us both?

- I guess we have to see.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- All right, you go first.

Here, take this. Just in case.

- I'll be right behind you.

- Okay, hold that.

Okay.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

Try and get your leg up on that ledge.

Can't be much further now.

Sh*t! He's back! Go, Nora! Go!

Don't look back! Fitzie, keep going!

Don't look down!

Sh*t, he's back! Go, Nora! Go! Go! Go!

Come on, Fitzie, move!

- I'm coming!

- Move! Move!

Go on!

Come on, Fitzie! Keep going!

Come on! Don't look down!

Climb!

Fitzie!

Help! Help!

No!

Fitzie.

No!

Yeah...

Help me.

Help me.

Help, please...

Please help me.
