00:03 [GIGGLING]

00:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:10 [GIGGLING]

00:32 Hey.

00:34 Come back here, little toad.

00:36 Oh.

00:37 Hey.

00:38 Grab him.

00:41 No, slow down, chief.

00:43 He stole my ankh.

00:45 Your what?

00:46 My ankh.

00:47 What's an ankh?

00:48 Back off, Godzilla, and I'll show you.

00:51 [GRUNTING]

00:54 That's it.

00:57 Oh.

00:58 I need it for my story.

00:59 You stole it out of my private drawer.

01:01 Stop.

01:02 Stop.

01:03 Ah.

01:06 Thank you.

01:09 Now, why did you take it?

01:12 What is it?

01:12 It's an ankh.

01:13 You should have asked.

01:14 You're always taking my stuff.

01:16 Tucker, ask him.

01:19 Can I borrow your ankh?

01:21 Don't make this any harder.

01:27 Oh.

01:28 All right.

01:31 Thank you.

01:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:36 I need the ankh, because it's an ancient symbol

01:41 everybody knows.

01:43 It means life.

01:44 My story's full of ancient symbols,

01:48 but you have to know how to read them.

01:51 Like the ankh, it means life, and that's good.

01:57 But you have to be careful, because sometimes life

02:01 could be far worse than anything you can imagine,

02:06 including death.

02:09 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,

02:12 I call this story "The Tale of the Guardian's Curse."

02:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:29 Back up!

02:53 Back up!

02:54 [INAUDIBLE]

02:58 Hold it.

03:20 Right through here.

03:21 That's where it's supposed to go.

03:23 [INAUDIBLE]

03:27 You're right.

03:29 There's not supposed to be a wall here.

03:50 What is that thing?

03:53 Sweet mother of pearl.

03:55 Looks like it's from Egypt or something.

04:04 Some kind of tool.

04:05 Ain't these things supposed to have

04:12 curses on them or something, huh?

04:14 Get out of here.

04:15 You watch too many movies.

04:18 [CRASH]

04:21 I think we better call someone on this.

04:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:59 Funny, it doesn't look like Mount Snowbird to me.

05:03 Where do we buy our lift tickets?

05:05 Five minutes, no more.

05:06 Dad, we're really going this time, right?

05:13 No last minute emergencies?

05:15 Just a quick peek, then we're off to the mountains

05:17 for a whole week.

05:18 Promise.

05:21 He lies.

05:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:28 Josh and Cleo Dugan's mom died when they were little.

05:32 So they were brought up by their dad, the professor.

05:35 Don't touch it.

05:37 He tried hard to be a good father,

05:39 but unfortunately, he knew more about ancient stuff

05:43 than about taking care of kids.

05:45 Professor Dugan, Professor Dugan,

05:53 this is amazing.

05:55 In all my years--

05:56 I'm on vacation, Dr. Caples, with five minutes and I'm gone.

06:00 I believe you'll think twice when you see what we've got.

06:03 Vacations come and go, but a find like this

06:06 happens once in a lifetime.

06:09 And it was here all the time, right under our noses.

06:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:24 My god, where did you find it?

06:26 It was hidden behind a false wall.

06:29 Must have been sealed there for decades.

06:33 Unless I'm mistaken, it's--

06:35 It's from the Egyptian Temple of Light that was robbed in 1921.

06:43 Yes, quite.

06:46 We have to get this to my lab now.

06:48 [LAUGHTER]

06:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:54 You know what this means, right?

06:59 Yeah.

07:01 No vacation, no skiing, no life.

07:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]

07:17 I'll create an entire Egyptian exhibit around it.

07:22 The publicity alone will increase donations

07:25 to the museum tenfold.

07:27 Another vacation.

07:29 Trashed.

07:30 August 21st, 1921.

07:36 The archaeological community was shocked

07:39 to discover that the newly unearthed Temple of Light

07:42 was ransacked last evening with most

07:45 of its ancient treasures stolen.

07:48 The Egyptian authorities are going to go ballistic

07:53 when they find out it's been in the museum all this time.

07:56 Mina the Guardian.

07:58 And we got her.

08:03 Who?

08:04 Mina.

08:05 Mina was a goddess.

08:07 The ancient Egyptians believed that she

08:09 used her ring of eternity to bring forth life

08:13 from the earth every spring.

08:15 She should have used the ring on herself.

08:17 Maybe she wouldn't be stuck in this old box.

08:20 But there was two sides to the legend.

08:23 Mina was beneficent, but vindictive.

08:26 She supposedly had the power to turn her enemies into stone.

08:29 Got it.

08:34 You sure about this?

08:35 Yeah.

08:39 All right.

08:40 Help me quickly.

08:42 Careful.

08:44 Careful.

08:45 Yuck.

08:57 Cool.

08:59 Magnificent.

09:02 There she is.

09:04 Mina the Guardian.

09:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]

09:09 Don't feed him.

09:18 Maybe we can starve him out of there.

09:20 Yeah, I doubt it.

09:21 Just because he doesn't have a life

09:23 doesn't mean he can ruin ours.

09:26 It's important.

09:27 It's like historic.

09:30 Oh, yeah.

09:32 Like the important monkey bone that

09:34 nuked our vacation last year.

09:36 Or the time he left us alone for Christmas

09:38 to see some old pot somebody dug up.

09:42 What can I say?

09:43 He lives to work.

09:46 He needs it.

09:47 What he needs is a girlfriend.

09:50 Showtime.

09:54 Cleo, look at this.

09:58 I managed to translate some markings on the sarcophagus.

10:02 Apparently, there were blood sacrifices made to Mina

10:06 to ensure a fruitful harvest.

10:08 Yuck.

10:09 Then I found this.

10:11 Ah, yes.

10:14 The legend of the ring of eternity was widely known.

10:19 But there's also mention of an elixir of life.

10:24 The elixir brings life, the ring brings eternity.

10:30 Wow.

10:31 Totally blown away.

10:34 There's also mention of a curse.

10:36 Really?

10:37 The guardian's curse.

10:38 It's fairly standard.

10:39 But the ancients always threatened horrible death

10:43 and torture to those who disturbed their tombs.

10:46 Which is exactly what we did.

10:48 It's swell.

10:50 I need you guys to get back to the museum

10:55 and pick up that new set of photos.

10:58 My extra set of keys are in the kitchen.

11:01 Dad, does this officially mean the vacation's off?

11:06 Hm?

11:09 Bingo.

11:10 We'll get the pictures.

11:11 Josh, Cleo.

11:20 I'm sorry, kids.

11:21 You know, it's just that--

11:25 It's OK, Dad.

11:27 We know.

11:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]

11:31 Give him a break, would you?

11:54 Why?

11:55 He doesn't give us any breaks.

11:57 We only get a couple of school vacations a year.

11:59 We get dumped on because of that.

12:04 Yuck.

12:05 It's his work, Josh.

12:07 And what about us?

12:09 I mean, we don't rate.

12:11 We're here.

12:11 We're alive.

12:13 I mean, that thing is--

12:15 I don't know what that thing is, but it's really gross.

12:19 Well, go skiing next time.

12:21 Next time is all we ever get.

12:24 [CLATTERING]

12:27 Oops.

12:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]

12:31 I can't believe he missed this.

12:36 Don't touch it.

12:37 There's a curse.

12:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]

12:40 It's an ankh, the symbol of life.

13:02 Oh, we've got to show Dad.

13:04 I better carry this.

13:06 I can take it.

13:07 It's safer with me.

13:08 I can do it, Josh.

13:09 Gross.

13:15 I'm not picking it up.

13:16 You take the ring.

13:21 I'll take the vial.

13:23 Don't drop it.

13:24 No.

13:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]

13:28 [CLATTERING]

13:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]

13:34 Now, I found these, right?

13:49 When the names were on the paper,

13:50 remember, I made the discovery.

13:52 Oh, um, wait.

13:53 We forgot the pictures.

13:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]

13:58 I could, like, go down in history.

14:05 Babes love fame.

14:07 I could--

14:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]

14:11 Cleo?

14:15 What?

14:17 Cleo?

14:19 What are you--

14:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]

14:23, [GASPS]

14:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]

14:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]

14:43 Dad, Dad, we found the ring of eternity.

14:58 Uh-oh.

15:03 Dad?

15:04 Dad?

15:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]

15:10 What happened?

15:11 I've-- I've got to go to the museum after all.

15:27 Sorry, I love you, Dad.

15:31 He must have split before all this happened.

15:33 [CLATTERING]

15:36 What was that?

15:39 Somebody's out there.

15:46 You don't think it was--

15:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]

15:53 Go away!

15:58 Leave us alone!

16:01 We got to get Dad.

16:03 The window!

16:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]

16:07 Dad!

16:20 Dad!

16:22 He's not here.

16:24 It's the curse!

16:25 Oh, man, it's the curse!

16:26 Get out of here.

16:27 That stuff is made up.

16:28 Oh, yeah?

16:29 Does this look made up to you?

16:31 It's real, Cleo, just like the legend said.

16:33 No way.

16:35 What about that bottle you're carrying around?

16:37 That's real too.

16:39 And where's the mummy?

16:41 I don't believe it.

16:42 No?

16:44 It's gone, Cleo.

16:46 What are you saying?

16:47 That a 10,000-year-old mummy just hopped off the table and--

16:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]

16:54 [HUMMING]

16:57 Ah, it's here.

17:04 Yeah.

17:10 That's exactly what I'm saying.

17:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]

17:15 [DOOR OPENS]

17:16 [DOOR CLOSES]

17:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]

17:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]

17:27 The music in the basement.

17:29 Forget it.

17:30 We'll get lost.

17:31 Out of here.

17:34 Now what?

17:37 It's the fire exit on the other side.

17:42 What's that nasty smell?

17:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]

17:47 I think we've got to turn.

17:58 [SCREAMS]

18:01 Oh.

18:02 Oh, wait.

18:03 Wait.

18:04 It's just stuffy.

18:08 Come on.

18:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]

18:12 There.

18:28 Yes.

18:29 It's locked.

18:37 How can they lock a fire door?

18:39 Oh, what is that smell?

18:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]

18:44 Hot water for the stairs.

18:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]

19:01 No.

19:02 A chair on the door.

19:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]

19:06 We're trapped.

19:08 [SCREAMS]

19:10 Dad.

19:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]

19:14 Dad, are you OK?

19:19 I think so.

19:22 What is going on?

19:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]

19:30 I think you're about to see for yourself.

19:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]

19:39 Dr. Caplesworth?

19:44 Look out.

19:45 The mummy's on the loose.

19:48 I don't think so.

19:49 What exactly is going on, Doctor?

19:52 Your children have something I want.

19:56 What?

19:58 I don't understand.

20:00 Well, then you're not as astute as I thought.

20:03 I want the Ring of Eternity.

20:06 I didn't find the ring.

20:08 No.

20:10 But your children did.

20:13 I thought you had discovered the ring, Professor.

20:16 And I wasn't about to let it be claimed

20:18 by the Egyptian authorities when it was so near my grasp.

20:22 So I searched your home.

20:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]

20:31 [FOOTSTEPS]

20:33 [DOOR SLAMS]

20:34 Dad, Dad, we found the Ring of Eternity.

20:39 Uh-oh.

20:41 Dad.

20:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]

20:44 As it turns out, your children are more clever than you.

20:51 I've got to go to the museum after all.

20:54 Sorry, I love you, Dad.

20:58 Knowing your plans, I hurried back here

21:02 before your children arrived.

21:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]

21:05 [FOOTSTEPS]

21:08 And so now here we stand.

21:12 Now, if you would be so kind as to hand me that ring.

21:17 You're not thinking--

21:18 Oh, yes.

21:20 I intend to use that ring for myself.

21:24 Now, give it to me!

21:26 I wouldn't if I were you, Professor.

21:28 That odor you smell is kerosene.

21:32 I've soaked most of these crates.

21:36 One touch of this torch and this museum becomes a furnace.

21:41 You wouldn't want to take that risk?

21:46 I say we give it to him.

21:49 I have to think.

21:50 There's nothing to think about.

21:53 We've got to do it.

21:54 Josh, give him the ring.

21:55 But what about--

21:57 Give him the ring, understand?

21:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]

22:04 Good boy.

22:06 Now, slide it over here.

22:09 Come on, come on.

22:11 [DING]

22:13 [CHUCKLING]

22:16 Now, let them go.

22:19 I'm afraid I can't do that, Professor.

22:23 I'm sure you'd go right to the authorities.

22:26 I can't have them tracking me for the rest of eternity now,

22:30 can I?

22:31 Don't do it, Doctor, please.

22:32 At least let us see if the ring works.

22:35 Why not?

22:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]

23:03 It's-- it's wonderful.

23:07 [CHUCKLING]

23:10 [EVIL LAUGHTER]

23:12 Behold, you are now gazing at an immortal.

23:18 [EVIL LAUGHTER]

23:22 Watch this.

23:25 [GASPING]

23:28 I-- I can't move.

23:33 [SCREAMING]

23:36 [SCREAMING]

23:39 Look out!

23:44 Save and a beauty.

23:49 It's incredible.

24:06 I guess he got what he wanted after all, immortality.

24:11 Very clever, little sister.

24:13 Excuse me?

24:15 The translations, they said the ring brings eternity,

24:19 the elixir brings life.

24:21 He knew he had the ring, but he didn't know he had this.

24:25 The elixir.

24:31 It's real.

24:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]

24:35 Um, we forgot to tell you, Dad, the mummy's missing.

24:44 [GASPING]

24:45 What?

24:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]

24:50 My god, it's alive.

24:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]

24:54 God.

25:01 The elixir brings life.

25:04 The ring brings eternity.

25:08 Josh, don't.

25:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]

25:13 [GROANING]

25:16 Mina?

25:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]

25:45 Mina?

26:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

26:03 I wonder if she likes to ski.

26:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]

26:26 So the true guardian's curse was immortality.

26:46 And Dr. Caple Smith was the final victim.

26:54 The end.

26:54 See, wasn't that worth letting him borrow it?

27:02 I guess the story was pretty good.

27:05 Hey, the little toad still has my arc.

27:10 Tucker.

27:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:14 Here we go again.

27:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]

27:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]

28:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

28:03 (upbeat music)
