00:00:25You

00:00:30You

00:01:00You

00:01:30You

00:02:04You

00:02:05Come on.

00:02:27Wait.

00:02:48Let's look at this.

00:02:50What is it?

00:02:51We found it ten foot from the entrance.

00:02:54It looks like a badge of some sort.

00:02:56It is.

00:02:57And I think it proves that we're on the right track at last.

00:03:00I hope so, for John's sake.

00:03:03Let's go and talk to him.

00:03:05Steve.

00:03:05John must get his leg properly set.

00:03:08He's your son.

00:03:09You must send him back to base.

00:03:13That's for him to decide.

00:03:15I'll abide by what he says.

00:03:19Hello, Father.

00:03:21We've got something, son.

00:03:24Where exactly was this found?

00:03:27Ten foot from the entrance.

00:03:29It's the badge of the Karnak guards.

00:03:32It could be.

00:03:33But it is, man. You know it is.

00:03:35Look at that hieroglyphic on the reverse there.

00:03:40Yes, I believe it is.

00:03:41Have you seen this, Uncle Joel?

00:03:42Yes, I've seen it.

00:03:44Any idea of the length of the gallery?

00:03:46Hard to say. Five foot, possibly ten.

00:03:48We should break through in four or five days, then.

00:03:51What about your leg, John?

00:03:52What about it?

00:03:53Well, I don't know much about medicine,

00:03:54but I do know that if that leg isn't set properly now,

00:03:57it'll knit the way it is.

00:04:02It's your decision, son.

00:04:06Five days isn't long to wait.

00:04:07It's a damn sight too long.

00:04:09Joseph, you're not an archaeologist,

00:04:12but you know better than anyone else

00:04:13what's been put into this search.

00:04:15For 20 years, I've been trying to discover the tomb of Ananka.

00:04:18We know that she set out on a pilgrimage to Antak.

00:04:21We know that she disappeared with all her party.

00:04:24We've discovered a concealed tomb in the rock face out there,

00:04:27and we now have evidence that one of her soldiers had access to it.

00:04:30He might even have been part of the burial party.

00:04:33Think, man.

00:04:33In five days, we might be looking at Ananka herself.

00:04:37Or we might be looking at an empty hole in the ground.

00:04:42Joseph!

00:04:49I promise to abide by John's decision.

00:04:53You're his father. You could have ordered him back.

00:04:56That boy's going to have a twisted link for the rest of his life,

00:04:59and it'll be your fault.

00:05:15Well, this is it.

00:05:19Pity poor old John couldn't come in with us.

00:05:21I promise to let him know what we find.

00:05:25Glad you stayed, Joseph.

00:05:28I'll tell you that when I see how John's leg heals.

00:05:31Oh, it'll be all right, man.

00:05:33You haven't heard him complaining, have you?

00:05:35That's because he's as pig-headed as you are.

00:05:38He's my son.

00:05:40Are you ready?

00:05:41Ready.

00:05:43Mr. Banning.

00:05:47I'm Banning.

00:05:48I must ask you to stop these operations.

00:05:51I don't understand.

00:05:52He must not continue digging here.

00:05:54Why on earth not?

00:05:55We've got all the necessary permits, haven't we, Joseph?

00:05:57I'm not interested in permits.

00:05:59You're not from the Egyptian government?

00:06:01No, I'm not.

00:06:03There's no more to be said.

00:06:04Mr. Banning.

00:06:05Please, allow me to appeal to your reason.

00:06:08Believe me when I say that what you're doing

00:06:10places yourself and the rest of your party in the gravest danger.

00:06:15If you persist in continuing with this operation,

00:06:18I cannot answer for the consequences.

00:06:20Nobody's asking you to, Sam.

00:06:22And now, if you'll excuse me.

00:06:24Mr. Banning.

00:06:26You would do well to remember the ancient saying.

00:06:35He who robs the graves of Egypt dies.

00:06:39Now, for the last time, please stop what you're doing

00:06:41and leave this place.

00:06:42And for the last time, kindly mind your own business.

00:06:44Come on, Dorothy.

00:07:38Yes, sir.

00:07:39Is it?

00:07:40Yes.

00:07:41It's the royal seal of Malanka.

00:08:06Yes, sir.

00:08:23Yes, sir.

00:08:24Now then, hold your breath, Judith.

00:09:05Marvellous.

00:09:08Absolutely undisturbed.

00:09:21Is it really a matter?

00:09:24It must be.

00:09:36I'm an uncle, a lady of the two kingdoms, high priestess of the great god Cardnock.

00:09:48Wait to you, sir.

00:09:49I'll tell John.

00:09:51Huh?

00:09:52Stephen, I'll tell John.

00:09:55Yes, do that.

00:10:07Is it the tomb, Efendi?

00:10:09Yes, the tomb of Ananka.

00:10:10.

00:10:12A la Cuba, a la Mira, a Nanka.

00:10:39It's the scroll of life.

00:10:55Is he quite sure? There's no doubt?

00:10:58No doubt at all.

00:11:01After all these years.

00:11:04Oh, confound this leg.

00:11:07You'd better get back. He'll need help.

00:11:10Let him have his moment of triumph.

00:11:11Ah!

00:11:31Steve, what is it? What's happened?

00:11:34What's happened?

00:11:35I don't know.

00:11:38I don't know.

00:11:39I don't know.

00:11:41I don't know.

00:11:56I don't know.

00:12:14I don't know.

00:12:23I don't know.

00:12:30I don't know.

00:12:33I don't know.

00:12:36I don't know.

00:12:48I don't know.

00:13:00I don't know.

00:13:01I don't know.

00:13:03I don't know.

00:13:11I don't know.

00:13:12There's a charge twelve feet along the tunnel.

00:13:14It'll bring the roof down.

00:13:15I don't know.

00:13:18I don't know.

00:13:36I don't know.

00:13:44I don't know.

00:13:59Great God, Karnak.

00:14:01Father of all living things.

00:14:03Hear these words from me.

00:14:05The humblest of your servants.

00:14:08For this desecration, you will be avenged.

00:14:14Those unbelievers who disturb the rest of your handmaiden,

00:14:18the Princess Ananka, shall suffer for their blasphemy.

00:14:23Though it takes me years of earthly time,

00:14:26I shall re-enter the tomb and find the instrument of your revenge,

00:14:31as ordained by your servants 4,000 years ago.

00:14:42This, I swear.

00:15:18Yes, completely unexpected.

00:15:20It happened this morning when they went to wake him.

00:15:22He asked for you straight away.

00:15:24But for three years, he hasn't even acknowledged that he has a son.

00:15:26Now he starts asking for me.

00:15:28How do you explain it, Doctor?

00:15:30Frankly, at the moment, I can't.

00:15:32I had thought that his condition was permanent.

00:15:35As you know, I believe that he suffered a physical stroke to the brain.

00:15:39It should be incurable.

00:15:41Could this mean that he's gone?

00:15:42It's going to get better.

00:15:44I don't know, Mrs. Banning.

00:15:45His condition could be purely temporary.

00:15:48May I see him?

00:15:49Of course.

00:15:52I would suggest to learn.

00:15:54I'll wait for you here.

00:15:56All right.

00:15:58Oh, James.

00:15:59Show Mr. Banning to his father, please.

00:16:01Yes, sir. This way, then.

00:16:23Hello, Father.

00:16:25Yes.

00:16:28John.

00:16:31You must excuse me.

00:16:33I...

00:16:34I've been unwell, you understand.

00:16:37It's my memory.

00:16:40You look well.

00:16:42You're well, son.

00:16:42I am well, thanks.

00:16:45Your leg.

00:16:46What's the matter with it?

00:16:48Oh, I...

00:16:49I damaged it three years ago.

00:16:51It didn't mend very well.

00:16:53Oh.

00:16:56You should have seen a doctor and had it set.

00:17:01You wanted to see me, Father?

00:17:02Huh?

00:17:06Oh.

00:17:07Yes.

00:17:09The mummy.

00:17:14I wanted to tell you about the mummy.

00:17:18The mummy?

00:17:18From an anchor's tomb.

00:17:21She's in the British Museum, sir.

00:17:22Not the princess.

00:17:24Not her.

00:17:25It's the mummy who lives.

00:17:27I'm afraid I don't...

00:17:29I don't understand.

00:17:30The mummy I brought to life when I read the scroll.

00:17:33There was no other mummy.

00:17:34Don't talk rubbish, man.

00:17:36I was there.

00:17:36I saw it myself.

00:17:37It came from the rock when I read the scroll.

00:17:40What scroll?

00:17:41The scroll of life.

00:17:43After 4,000 years, the words of the scroll brought it to life again.

00:17:48It hates us, John.

00:17:50It hates us for desecrating the tomb of its princess.

00:17:53It will kill us.

00:17:54It will kill us.

00:17:55All of us.

00:17:56All of us.

00:17:57Father, you mustn't upset us.

00:17:58Stop thinking about it.

00:18:01Nothing really happened that day, you know.

00:18:09You're a fool, John.

00:18:17Thank you for coming.

00:18:23Goodbye, Father.

00:18:24Father.

00:18:28Remember, John.

00:18:31Someone has found the scroll.

00:18:34The mummy is released again.

00:18:54As I was saying, I says to him, if you think I'm going to cart goods which I don't know

00:19:00nothing about, then you've got another thing coming your ways, Mr. Assess.

00:19:04So he says.

00:19:06So he says.

00:19:07So he says it don't make no difference what you're carting so long as you get paid for it.

00:19:11So you says.

00:19:13To which I was forced to agree, times being what they are.

00:19:17But he didn't tell you what was in it.

00:19:20Something about relics.

00:19:23Relics.

00:19:23All the way from Egypt.

00:19:25Relics.

00:19:26Why send all the way to Egypt for them?

00:19:28You've got them right here in Englefield.

00:19:31Well, these come from Egypt.

00:19:33Well, I don't like the look of him.

00:19:36The cove we'd do her in the cart in for.

00:19:38He's a foreigner.

00:19:40Well, he can't help that poor chap.

00:19:42Come on, drink up.

00:19:43We've got to get going.

00:19:47Ah.

00:19:50Good night, Bill.

00:19:52Good night.

00:19:58I'll drive.

00:20:00I'll drive.

00:20:01You're drunk.

00:20:01Yes, my cart.

00:20:03My horse is.

00:20:04I'll drive.

00:20:05Great, dear old horse.

00:20:07A man's best friend is a horse.

00:20:10It's a dog.

00:20:12It's a horse.

00:20:13I'm not that drunk.

00:20:15And I'll drive.

00:20:16All right.

00:20:16You're right.

00:20:17All right.

00:20:18All right.

00:20:25Do you think we'd better toy that down?

00:20:28What for?

00:20:29The road's bumpy.

00:20:31Oh, just past the nursing home, he said.

00:20:33All right.

00:20:33It's got me half a mile.

00:20:34All right.

00:20:35Key up.

00:20:35Of course.

00:20:45The mummy.

00:20:52It's waiting.

00:20:54It's always there.

00:21:19Help.

00:21:20Help.

00:21:21Help.

00:21:22Help.

00:21:23That's from another house.

00:21:24That's one of them got out.

00:21:25Watch it.

00:21:25Come on.

00:21:32The boxes are half moving events.

00:21:34You better slow down over the causeway.

00:21:37They're not going to have my throat cut by no lunatic.

00:21:40Not for all the relics in these chickens.

00:22:08Not for all the relics in these chickens.

00:22:10Oh, it's hopeless.

00:22:12Parts of this bog are next to bottomless.

00:22:15We'll never find it.

00:22:17Now for some particulars, if you don't mind.

00:22:20First, what was on the card?

00:22:22A great ruddy box.

00:22:24We was taking it to the house up the ways there.

00:22:26And what was in the box?

00:22:28I don't know.

00:22:29But whatever it was, I reckon it's better at the bottom of the bog.

00:22:32Well, why do you say that?

00:22:33It's my idea there was something in that box which wasn't quite right.

00:22:36I see.

00:22:39Now where do you say you was taking the box?

00:22:42Up the ways there.

00:22:43The big house set back, he said.

00:22:45Who said?

00:22:46I said, officer.

00:22:50Oh, morning, sir.

00:22:52You was expecting this box?

00:22:54Yes, I was.

00:22:56I engaged this man and his companion to transport it from the station.

00:23:00I see.

00:23:01Well, hard luck, isn't it?

00:23:03I mean, losing it like this.

00:23:04Is it quite irrecoverable?

00:23:06Oh, yes, sir.

00:23:08Quite.

00:23:09I see.

00:23:11Thank you, officer.

00:23:13One moment, sir, if you don't mind.

00:23:15The contents of the box.

00:23:17Relics, officer.

00:23:20Egyptian relics.

00:23:21Nothing more.

00:23:28I'm very sorry, Mr. Banning.

00:23:30I simply cannot explain it.

00:23:31First we have this recovery after three years, and now this...

00:23:35I've never known him so violent.

00:23:38He seems to have a persecution mania.

00:23:41He thinks there is somebody who wants to kill him.

00:23:43When did it start?

00:23:45Yesterday evening.

00:23:48There's nothing I can do, I suppose.

00:23:50Nothing whatever, I'm afraid.

00:23:51If we have him in a padded cell for his own safety.

00:23:55Is that really necessary?

00:23:57We cannot possibly afford to take any chances.

00:23:59He may do himself a serious injury.

00:24:02You see, with this persecution complex, he's quite liable to take his own life in order to cheat whoever he

00:24:09thinks is after him.

00:24:10It's quite common.

00:24:11But what could have put him in this state of mind?

00:24:14As far as I know, he hasn't an enemy in the world.

00:24:37Great Karnak.

00:24:39God of all light and darkness.

00:24:42Hear this prayer from the humblest of your servants.

00:24:46Help me in my task.

00:24:49Make my way easy.

00:24:51That I may achieve your desires and return to the land of my forebears.

00:25:17Do not pass.

00:25:19Excuse your well, moles and purple karnak.

00:25:20Do not pass.

00:25:34Say yes, yes.

00:25:39That I may receive your romance for the Christmas.

00:25:40You can find your love.

00:25:41O'bar the double, O'bar the soul, pulse strong, O'ab, the heart.

00:25:46Make supple the limbs and strong the sinews.

00:25:49Refill, O my soul, this heart with tenderness,

00:25:52that ye may walk again the land of Khem,

00:25:55in all thy strength and beauty,

00:25:57and wear once more the Urelet.

00:26:29O'Karnak, through me, guide this thy servant on his appointed task.

00:26:38O'Karnak, through me, guide this thy servant on his appointed task.

00:26:41Go now, go and destroy those who desecrated the tomb of our princess,

00:26:47those unbelievers who gazed upon her long-dead face.

00:26:53Go, and let the spirit of Karnak, our god, go with you.

00:27:11I'm Mr. Lord.

00:27:11Go, and let the spirit of Karnak go.

00:27:13O'Karnak!

00:27:34Now, if you wanted a thing in the night, just ring this bell.

00:27:39And it's no good shouting or banging on the door.

00:27:42We won't hear you.

00:27:44All right now?

00:27:51Good night, Mr. Fanny.

00:28:14Good night.

00:28:53Good night.

00:29:24Oh, my God.

00:29:46The very nature of this deed points to the fact that it was committed by some homicidal mania.

00:29:53And if it were not for the evidence of forced entry, I would have no hesitation in telling the doctor

00:30:00of the nursing home to look among his own inmates.

00:30:03However, there is no doubt that the perpetrator of this crime came from outside the nursing home and left the

00:30:12premises immediately after the crime.

00:30:15I can only exhort the police to do everything in their power to apprehend this individual with the utmost dispatch.

00:30:22The verdict of this court is murder by person or persons unknown.

00:30:36The coroner said it was the work of a maniac.

00:30:38I can't believe that. There must be a motive somewhere.

00:30:42We must go through his papers. Perhaps we'll find something there.

00:30:45It's in the nursing home for three years.

00:30:47And before that, ten years in Egypt.

00:30:50Then we'll have plenty to work on. Father kept a record of everything.

00:30:59I still don't know exactly what we're looking for.

00:31:02Oh, I don't really know myself. A letter, a note, anything that may give us a lead.

00:31:09But Uncle, you knew Father pretty well. Did he ever mention anyone to you who bore him a grudge or

00:31:13he disliked?

00:31:15I never remember your father saying a harsh word about anyone, ever.

00:31:19Except that Egyptian fellow that time.

00:31:22What Egyptian?

00:31:23You remember, I told you. The day we entered an anchor's tomb.

00:31:27The man who tried to stop us.

00:31:28Yes, yes, I remember. That sort of thing was always happening.

00:31:32Dear Mr. Banning, unless this account is settled, poor old Dad.

00:31:36He was such a methodical man in everything else, but he would leave paying bills till the last minute.

00:31:40He was always being sued.

00:31:43Do you remember the argument you had when you decided to take him in hand?

00:31:46He said he was perfectly capable of dealing with his own business affairs.

00:31:50And two minutes later, there was a little man on the doorstep serving a writ.

00:31:53We had a good laugh about it afterwards.

00:31:55You're very fond of your father, aren't you?

00:31:59Yes. Yes, I was.

00:32:03In spite of that leg.

00:32:04Well, that was my own fault. I could have gone back to base and had his set.

00:32:08Then all the trouble started.

00:32:11Do you remember that day?

00:32:13I don't think I shall ever forget it.

00:32:16That look on your father's face when he realized he'd discovered an anchor's tomb.

00:32:21And then afterwards.

00:32:23It was, er... it was never really established what made him crack, was it?

00:32:28The work, and then the excitement.

00:32:31That was the doctor's verdict.

00:32:32That's what it was. What else could it have been?

00:32:34I can't get out of my mind what father said to me the other day when I went to see

00:32:37him.

00:32:38Well, that nonsense about the living mummy and the scroll of life.

00:32:41Mm-hmm.

00:32:42You better, otherwise you'll be having a breakdown, too.

00:32:56What, sir?

00:32:57The Anonchofolio. Do you know the legend?

00:33:00Daily, yes. What about it?

00:33:02Do you know it?

00:33:04No, I don't really.

00:33:06Some wild story about the living dead, that sort of thing, wasn't it?

00:33:11Well, here it is.

00:33:14In the year 2000 BC, the Princess Anonchofolio, High Priestess of the Temple of Karnak, set out on a pilgrimage.

00:33:21She was bound for Amtac, the reputed birthplace of her god.

00:33:26The great procession travelled for three months when the Princess was stricken with the sickness from which she died.

00:33:32The body of the Princess lay in state in her own tent, while the involved and lengthy mourning ceremonies took

00:33:38place.

00:33:38I am come unto thee, O Osiris, who art cleansed of all impurities.

00:33:50Thou goest round heaven, thou seest Ra, thou seest the beings who have knowledge.

00:33:59Behold, thou art in the sectate boat, as it goeth round the horizon of heaven.

00:34:10Prosper thou for me, all the ways unto thee.

00:34:18Homage to thee, O Osiris, thou mighty and beneficent being, thou holy god, thou prince of eternity.

00:34:37Then her body was prepared for embalming by the incredible process known only to the ancient Egyptians.

00:34:42First it was anointed with the holy oils.

00:34:47Hail Osiris, triumphant!

00:34:50The goddess Wa hath given thee birth.

00:34:54And Anubis, who sitteth upon the hill, hath set thee in order,

00:35:00and will fasten thee thy swathings.

00:35:05Thou art more beautiful than a goddess,

00:35:07and hath been begotten for transformations more numerous,

00:35:12and with a created form more perfect than those of the gods.

00:35:23Then the embalmers, with natron and sweet spices, prepared her for everlasting preservation.

00:35:29The god, Tar-Secret, hath given unto thee the honors of the divine house which he hath.

00:35:39Peoples and nations, exalt thee.

00:35:42The majesty of thy terror is in the hearts of men and the dead.

00:35:49And thus she lay for seventy days in her bath of natron.

00:35:55Custom decreed that after purification the body of the princess should be returned to the coastal plains where she had

00:36:01ruled in life.

00:36:02But Caris, high priest, for reasons of his own, chose to ignore custom.

00:36:08Here she had died, and here she would remain for all time.

00:36:13He caused a tomb to be prepared close to the place of death.

00:36:16And it was to this tomb that the ceremonial cortege moved in final procession.

00:36:26Centuries of time had laid down the laws governing the order of the procession.

00:36:32The Sekhmet boat, forbearing the spirit of the dead to the afterworld.

00:36:40The living god, personification of the recorder of souls.

00:36:50Anubis, guardian of the tomb.

00:36:57The head of the goddess Harthorn.

00:37:02Maidens bearing the Ushapti, symbols of mythical power and significance.

00:37:07The royal mummy itself, the mortal remains of the princess Ananka.

00:37:20Cares, high priest, the personal representative of his god Karnak, nursing within him a terrible secret.

00:37:29The tomb had been hewn deep in the side of a mountain.

00:37:32It was designed to remain inviolate for all time.

00:37:42Although a thousand miles from her home, the princess was laid to rest with the full pomp and circumstance which

00:37:48was her divine right.

00:37:49As the high priestess of the god Karnak, to have done less would have been committing sacrilege.

00:38:01Under the watchful eye of Cares, the royal mummy was taken from its bier by Nubian slaves and was carried

00:38:08into the tomb.

00:38:09Behind it walked Cares.

00:38:12And behind him came the casket containing the heart of the princess.

00:38:26Much blood was to flow during the succeeding days.

00:38:29Many were to die both for the further glorification of their princess and to ensure that the location of the

00:38:35tomb remained a secret.

00:39:04The Nubian slaves were put to the sword.

00:39:07Their fate was ordained as was the fate of the six maidens.

00:39:11They all died so that their spirits could accompany that of their princess into the afterworld.

00:39:52The dead man had killed the breast.

00:39:53Of course it was a siete to be crushed for the t- Ihr.

00:40:05surfaces of the점.

00:40:16Hail to thee, child of the god Shu.

00:40:20The underworld hath gained mastery over his diadem.

00:40:24Like the hammer-made beings, may thou arise,

00:40:28even as Karnak doth arise, and fair forth.

00:40:34Have power over the speech.

00:40:40Thus started the final rites, rites that continued for six days,

00:40:45culminating in the sealing of the tomb.

00:41:09That night, Kares returned to the tomb alone.

00:41:12He violated the royal and sacred seal to regain entry.

00:41:36.

00:41:37.

00:41:55Oh, my God.

00:42:22Oh, my God.

00:42:58Oh, my God.

00:43:08Oh, my God.

00:43:36Oh, my God.

00:43:43Oh, my God.

00:44:01Oh, my God.

00:44:10Oh, my God.

00:44:25Oh, my God.

00:44:27Oh, my God.

00:44:31Oh, my God.

00:44:32Oh, my God.

00:44:33Oh, my God.

00:44:34Oh, my God.

00:44:43Fulfill ye now the will of the Lord God Karnak.

00:44:48For this dreadful profanity, Charis was sentenced to have his tongue cut from his mouth

00:44:53so that the cries he would utter during the faith that awaited him

00:44:56should not offend the ears of the gods.

00:45:11Death was not for Charis, nor was life.

00:45:15For his sins, he was sentenced to remain for all time on guard near the body of his princess.

00:45:21He was buried alive in a secret tomb specially prepared for him.

00:45:40The End

00:45:52The End

00:46:00The End

00:46:11The End

00:46:22The End

00:46:42The End

00:46:44Some of them never got back to Egypt.

00:46:46Illness, perhaps? Savages?

00:46:48Who knows?

00:46:50That is the legend of Ananka.

00:46:52The dictionary defines legend as being historical myth.

00:46:57But don't forget, half the story we know is fact.

00:46:59We know that Ananka died on a pilgrimage and was buried somewhere in the jungle.

00:47:03We know that no survivors ever returned to Egypt.

00:47:05Now, if half the story is true, why not the other half?

00:47:09Because the other half is removed from fact. It's fantasy.

00:47:14Dad knew all about the legend.

00:47:16Perhaps having discovered that half of it was true,

00:47:18he let his imagination persuade him that the rest of it could have been.

00:47:20Is it possible that's what drove him out of his mind?

00:47:23Possible, yes. He was overexcited. He'd been working too hard.

00:47:27But remember, John, historical myth.

00:47:30Treat it as such if you don't want the same thing to happen to you.

00:47:34A fairer story, nothing more.

00:47:58A fairer story, a fairer story, a fairer story.

00:47:59Help us, your servants, Okarnak, to fulfill the second of our tasks.

00:48:31Go now.

00:48:35Destroy the second of the infidels...

00:48:38who dare to desecrate the tomb of your princess.

00:48:51Let's go.

00:49:27Hey, Bill. Give us a whiskey. Make it a large one.

00:49:33Anything wrong, mate?

00:49:35Gamekeeper, Thrull.

00:49:36I wish it was gamekeepers.

00:49:38I've seen the light tonight that mortal eye shouldn't look at.

00:49:41Well, you've been round to Molligrad is again.

00:49:43Ten foot tall he was, swathed in bandages,

00:49:47come lumbering through that wood like a great bear.

00:49:50Who?

00:49:51You mean what?

00:49:53I tell you, it wasn't human.

00:49:57I needed that.

00:49:59Are you sure that's the first one you've had tonight?

00:50:01Have you been seeing the little people?

00:50:04If it's little people, it's the biggest little people ever you heard anything about.

00:50:09I'll have another one of those.

00:50:11I tell you, something very unpleasant's going to happen here tonight.

00:50:15Well, John, I can go to bed.

00:50:17I think you should, too.

00:50:19We'll do some more in the morning.

00:50:21Yes, of course.

00:50:22You must be tired.

00:50:22I'm sorry.

00:50:23Good night.

00:50:24Good night.

00:50:25Good night.

00:50:38Good night.

00:50:39Good night.

00:50:43Good night.

00:50:48Good night.

00:50:50Good night.

00:50:51Good night.

00:50:52Good night.

00:50:53Good night.

00:50:54Good night.

00:50:55Good night.

00:50:56Good night.

00:51:19What I don't understand, Mr. Banning, is that if you hit him like you say you did, you must have

00:51:23killed him.

00:51:23You didn't do that, otherwise there would be a body, so we must assume that you missed.

00:51:27I tell you, Inspector, I hit him twice at least from here.

00:51:30At four yards?

00:51:31At four yards.

00:51:32I see.

00:51:33All right, let us have your impressions as to who this intruder must have been.

00:51:38You've never seen him before?

00:51:39I told you, Inspector, he was bandaged. There was just a slit for his eyes. The rest of him was

00:51:43covered.

00:51:44With bandages? Extraordinary. And you hit him twice?

00:51:47At four yards.

00:51:49I see.

00:51:50Well, I've got men out there looking for him now. That's all we can do at the moment.

00:51:54You'll let me know if you have any ideas.

00:51:58I have one already.

00:51:59You have? Why didn't you say so?

00:52:00You wouldn't believe me.

00:52:02I don't believe you about hitting him, if that's what you mean.

00:52:05All right, Inspector. I believe the intruder was a mummy. A living mummy.

00:52:10A mummy? One of these Egyptian things?

00:52:12That's right.

00:52:13I thought they were always dead people.

00:52:15They usually are, but writes this one should be dead, too.

00:52:18Now, look.

00:52:18Now, Inspector.

00:52:19Would you sit down, please?

00:52:21I want to tell you about something that happened three years ago.

00:52:24Something I'm now convinced happened to my father.

00:52:27As you know, he was driven out of his mind.

00:52:30We were excavating a tomb.

00:52:32The tomb of a Princess Ananka who died 4,000 years ago.

00:52:35I was out of action at the time, my leg.

00:52:38Father and my Uncle Joseph entered the tomb without me.

00:52:42Uncle had promised to let me have any news as soon as he could.

00:52:55Ananka, Lady of the Two Kingdoms, High Priestess of the Great God Karnak.

00:53:05Look at it, Joseph.

00:53:07I'll tell John.

00:53:09Mm-hmm.

00:53:11Stephen, I'll tell John.

00:53:13Yes, do that.

00:53:36I'll tell John.

00:53:51It's the cruel of life.

00:53:53It's the cruel of life.

00:53:56It's the cruel of life.

00:54:25To restore to life.

00:54:29O thou, Lord of Son,

00:54:33O Thou Lord of the Tomb, Thou Mighty One hath armented.

00:54:45Let not these limbs be without movement.

00:54:52Let them not pass away, and let them not suffer

00:55:00from corruption. Make supple these limbs,

00:55:08and strong these sinews.

00:55:14Refill, O my soul, this heart with tenderness,

00:55:23that he may walk...

00:55:37Humpback!

00:55:38Take a place!

00:55:51Take a place!

00:56:31When my uncle found him, father's mind was completely unbalanced. He never recovered.

00:56:36I didn't believe the story my father told me. I thought he was...

00:56:41Well...

00:56:41But I'm beginning to think differently now.

00:56:44Mr. Banning, are you trying to tell me that these two murders were committed by a dead man?

00:56:49I knew you wouldn't believe me.

00:56:51You're right, I don't.

00:56:52I find it incredible that you should even imagine such a story.

00:56:56I deal on facts, Mr. Banning. Cold, hard facts.

00:57:00And the facts tell me that someone broke in here, committed a murder, then got away.

00:57:05There is no doubt whoever did it killed your father, too.

00:57:09This I consider a fact also.

00:57:11But that's where the facts run out.

00:57:16Well, it's my job to dig around until I unearth some more facts.

00:57:20But facts, Mr. Banning, not fantasies straight out of Edgar Allan Poe.

00:57:25I know.

00:57:26If you have any more ideas, please let me hear them.

00:57:28They make fascinating listening, if nothing else.

00:57:31There is one more.

00:57:34I think I'm the next to be killed.

00:57:39Sorry, sir. It was only a little hair, sir.

00:57:41Thank you, Sergeant.

00:57:42It was dead anyway, sir.

00:57:43Sit down, would you?

00:57:44I picked it up.

00:57:45But it was a...

00:57:45I'm Inspector Bull Rooney, criminal investigation from London.

00:57:49Inspector from...

00:57:50Squire's gone mad altogether.

00:57:52I beg your pardon?

00:57:52Well, it was only a little hair, sir.

00:57:55And you're a...

00:57:57I'd better explain to you the way it was, sir.

00:57:58You see, I was out having a bit of a stroll, like minding me own business.

00:58:02See, through the woods.

00:58:02And I happened to see this little bunny lying down there.

00:58:06It was dead, sir.

00:58:06Killed.

00:58:07Be one of them wicked traps.

00:58:08So I...

00:58:08I picked it up, sir.

00:58:10I was going to give it a decent burial like, sir.

00:58:11And what else did you see in the woods?

00:58:13Well, nothing, sir.

00:58:15Only the little bunny.

00:58:16It was lying there, sir.

00:58:16Now, it's been reported that you rushed into the Red Lion last night

00:58:19saying you'd seen a man in the woods.

00:58:21Oh, yes, sir.

00:58:23I saw him all right, sir.

00:58:25Describe him to me, please.

00:58:26Oh, well, sir.

00:58:27He was horrible, sir.

00:58:28He was about ten foot high.

00:58:29And...

00:58:29How high?

00:58:31Well, um...

00:58:32Seven foot six.

00:58:33Yeah, he'd be about that, sir.

00:58:35About seven foot six.

00:58:36Seven foot seven.

00:58:40And then?

00:58:42Well, and then there was all this yelling coming from the nut house.

00:58:46I got scared and whipped up the horses.

00:58:48Went over the causeway and the box just fell off.

00:58:50Straight into the swamp.

00:58:52Wasn't a hope of saving it.

00:58:53Not a hope.

00:58:54Ah.

00:58:55It was nasty business all round.

00:59:00Very scarifying, you watch.

00:59:05Give him another, will you?

00:59:07I saw the crane was gone for good.

00:59:10Oh, parts of the bug are next to bottomless, you understand, sir.

00:59:13Well, I was going up to see this man.

00:59:15Which man?

00:59:16Oh, the one whose crane he was.

00:59:17The Egyptian.

00:59:19Anyway, I didn't have to.

00:59:20He arrived on the scene and, well, I told him straight away.

00:59:23How did he take it?

00:59:24Oh, it's funny that was, sir.

00:59:26Here's this crate come thousands of miles from Egypt.

00:59:30Then to lose it practically on his doorstep.

00:59:32Well, he didn't seem to mind.

00:59:34Treated the old thing casual like.

00:59:36And the contents of the box?

00:59:38Relics, he said, sir.

00:59:39Relics?

00:59:40Egyptian relics.

00:59:43The last task is upon us, O'Khanak.

00:59:47Watch over us as you have watched over me during the past three years.

00:59:53Watch as you did throughout the long journey from our own land to this strange country of the unbeliever.

01:00:02Watch while Karis, the living mommy, your servant, performs this last task.

01:00:08The one that will release him from his eternal bondage.

01:00:12The destruction of the last member of the party who desecrated the tomb of your High Priestess.

01:00:34Go now, Karis.

01:00:37Kill the last unbeliever who disturbed the sleep of your beloved.

01:01:02John, isn't it time you came to bed?

01:01:09What's the matter?

01:01:10It's extraordinary.

01:01:12I've never noticed it before, but with your hair like that, you're the image of Ananka.

01:01:16Henri?

01:01:18She was considered the most beautiful woman in the world.

01:01:20Oh, I am flattered.

01:01:22Mind you, the world wasn't so big then.

01:01:23Oh, don't spoil it all.

01:01:30Have you heard anything more from the police?

01:01:32No, not since this morning.

01:01:34Why don't they hurry up and do something before there's another murder?

01:01:37Well, they're doing the best they can, I suppose.

01:01:39It's frightening to think there's some maniac wandering around loose in the countryside.

01:01:43Yes.

01:01:45Yes, it is.

01:01:50Oh, thank you.

01:01:54You know something, don't you?

01:01:57Well, it's just an idea.

01:01:59Have you told it to the police?

01:02:00I've told them, but they didn't believe me.

01:02:02I can't blame them either.

01:02:04Won't you tell me?

01:02:11It's just that I think the... the maniac might come here again.

01:02:15Here?

01:02:17Yes, he wants to kill me.

01:02:19John, what are you saying?

01:02:20Of course, I may be wrong, but if I'm not, my only chance of catching him is to sit here

01:02:24and wait.

01:02:24But you told me the police didn't believe you.

01:02:27They didn't.

01:02:30You're going to do this by yourself.

01:02:32What else can I do?

01:02:34I won't allow it.

01:02:36John, this is ridiculous.

01:02:38What can you do alone against this man?

01:02:40I'll have to take a chance.

01:02:42I'll have my gun and be ready for it.

01:02:45I won't let you.

01:02:48If what you think is true, you should get away now.

01:02:51Or at least ask for police protection.

01:02:53Darling, I tried to convince the inspector, but he wanted facts.

01:02:56Isabel, if you really want to help me, you'll go upstairs to your room and lock the door.

01:03:00Oh, but I...

01:03:01Isabel, I've never ordered you to do anything before, but I'm doing so now.

01:03:06Please do as I ask.

01:03:10Please go, Isabel.

01:03:13Very well, John.

01:03:18John, please take care.

01:03:24Hello, darling.

01:03:25How do you?

01:03:28I am.

01:03:28And why?

01:03:47Come on.

01:04:03Come on.

01:04:29Come on.

01:04:58Come on.

01:05:01Come on.

01:05:16No!

01:05:29Come on.

01:06:10Come on.

01:06:13Tommy.

01:06:14Are you all right?

01:06:29Come on.

01:06:32He thought your wife here was this an uncle woman. Is that it?

01:06:35You'll admit there's a strong resemblance.

01:06:36She's been dead 4,000 years.

01:06:39So has the mummy. The comatose state of living death.

01:06:43You know, Mr. Barion, this morning I was all for having you certified.

01:06:46And now?

01:06:47I've been asking questions all day, trying to get some sort of lead.

01:06:51And what I've come up with helps to confirm what you're saying.

01:06:55I'm glad you're convinced.

01:06:56I didn't say that, but it is a theory.

01:06:58My facts seem to have gone wrong.

01:07:02Now tell me what you know about this man who's supposed to be an Egyptian.

01:07:06What man?

01:07:07The one that's just taken the big house past the nursing home.

01:07:10An Egyptian?

01:07:10So the locals say.

01:07:12Though it's my belief they wouldn't know an Egyptian from a Chinese acrobat.

01:07:15But what's an Egyptian doing here?

01:07:16That's what I ask myself.

01:07:18Didn't you ask him?

01:07:19Mr. Banning, if he tells me he's over here to grow mushrooms, I'll have to accept it.

01:07:22And he's not likely to say he's over here to murder a few people.

01:07:25Don't you know anything about him?

01:07:27Nothing.

01:07:27I don't even know if he's really Egyptian.

01:07:29I could find out.

01:07:30No doubt, but you're not going to.

01:07:31This must tie up.

01:07:32It's too great a coincidence.

01:07:33If he's up to something, you'll be placing yourself in danger.

01:07:36I know it's your neck, but at the moment I'm partially responsible for keeping it where it belongs.

01:07:41It's my duty to warn you not to take any action yet.

01:07:43All right, Inspector.

01:07:44It'll take a little time, but I'll find out about him eventually.

01:07:47You're going, Inspector.

01:07:49I am, but I shan't be far away.

01:07:51Now, remember, Mr. Banning, no private police work, please.

01:07:55Good night, Inspector.

01:07:55Good night.

01:08:12Great God, we have accomplished what we set out to do.

01:08:17Now, the three desecrators are now dead.

01:08:20At last you have been avenged.

01:08:24Now, we are free to return to our own country, if that is your desire.

01:08:32You have done well, Carice.

01:08:34You may rest.

01:08:35Soon we start the long journey home.

01:08:47Rest, Carice.

01:08:48I will call you when it's time.

01:08:53Go.

01:09:08Come on, Cluster.

01:09:17Come on.

01:09:40Good evening.

01:09:42My name is Banning. I live a few miles from here.

01:09:45I'd heard there was a newcomer to this rather lonely district,

01:09:47so I thought I'd pay your neighborly call.

01:09:50This is very courteous of you, Mr. Banning.

01:09:53I hope I haven't called at an inconvenient time.

01:09:57Not at all. Do come in.

01:10:05My name is Mehmed Akir.

01:10:08This way, please.

01:10:14It is so difficult getting to know people in a strange land.

01:10:18You come from Egypt, don't you?

01:10:20Yes, I do.

01:10:21I spent many years in your country.

01:10:25You must know Egypt very well, then.

01:10:27There's still a lot I want to learn.

01:10:33You're not Banning the archaeologist.

01:10:35John Banning, junior member.

01:10:37Of course. You're Stephen Banning's son.

01:10:40You knew my father?

01:10:42Only by reputation.

01:10:44I haven't heard about him lately. Has he retired?

01:10:48My father is dead.

01:10:50I'm sorry.

01:10:52Please accept my sympathy.

01:10:54May I have your coat?

01:10:59Won't you sit down?

01:11:06Well, this is indeed an honor.

01:11:09To meet someone who has taken part in unearthing so many of the sacred secrets of my country.

01:11:14Are you interested in archaeology?

01:11:16Yes, I am.

01:11:19Academically, that is. Not commercially.

01:11:23It has often puzzled me about archaeologists.

01:11:25Has it never occurred to them that by opening the tombs of beings who are sacred, they commit an act

01:11:32of desecration?

01:11:33If we didn't, the history of your country and either of a great part of civilization would still be unknown.

01:11:38Nevertheless, those tombs were sealed for all time.

01:11:41You are an intruder.

01:11:43You force your way in.

01:11:45You remove the remains of the long-dead kings and send them to places like the British Museum,

01:11:51where thousands of people can stare at them.

01:11:55Does this not trouble your times?

01:11:57Your conscience, perhaps?

01:11:59No, it's my job.

01:12:00But it troubles you.

01:12:02Why should it trouble me?

01:12:04I'm a civilized man, Mr. Banning.

01:12:07To me, the dead are the dead.

01:12:09Clay.

01:12:11Can I offer you some refreshment?

01:12:14No, thank you.

01:12:16A cigar, perhaps?

01:12:18Do you mind if I keep to these?

01:12:21Not at all.

01:12:25I'm very sorry to hear about your father.

01:12:28When did he die?

01:12:30Recently.

01:12:33Had he been ill for some time?

01:12:36Yes, he had.

01:12:38But that wasn't the cause of his death.

01:12:41What was the cause then?

01:12:44He was murdered.

01:12:45Oh.

01:12:49It was a great shock to me.

01:12:53Oh, please forgive my apathy.

01:12:56In my country, as you know, violence is quite commonplace.

01:13:00It doesn't leave the same impression as it does in this peaceful, well-ordered community.

01:13:05The history of your country is steeped in violence.

01:13:09Indeed it is.

01:13:10I remember the opening of Princess Ananka's tomb.

01:13:14She was height recessed to a pagan god, Karnak.

01:13:16We have reason to believe that over a hundred people were put to death during her funeral rites.

01:13:21Most probably.

01:13:22And Karnak wasn't a particularly important deity, a third-rate god.

01:13:27Not to those who believed in him.

01:13:29Perhaps not.

01:13:30But their standard of intelligence must have been remarkably low.

01:13:34Why do you say that?

01:13:36He was insignificant.

01:13:38He had nothing to commend him to anyone with the slightest degree of intelligence.

01:13:42But surely you're assuming a great deal.

01:13:44I don't think so.

01:13:46I made an extensive study of this so-called religion.

01:13:49It was based upon artificial creeds and beliefs, some of them ludicrous in the extreme.

01:13:54Did it ever occur to you that beneath the superficial you've learned about,

01:13:58there could be a great and passionate devotion to this god?

01:14:01Well, it occurred to me, but I dismissed it.

01:14:05You're intolerant, Mr. Banning.

01:14:07Not intolerant, just practical.

01:14:10Intolerant.

01:14:13Because you are unable to experience the greatness of a deity,

01:14:17you dismiss it as of no consequence.

01:14:22But believe me, to those who worship and serve Karnak, he is all-powerful.

01:14:28Surely there can't be people who still have such beliefs.

01:14:33Now you talk about something of which you know nothing.

01:14:37You've scratched only the surface, and you know nothing.

01:14:41You assume the right to disturb the everlasting peace of the gods.

01:14:46You pry and meddle with unclean hands and eyes.

01:14:51Profanity, blasphemy, religious desecration, all these you are guilty of.

01:14:57But the powers with which you have meddled do not rest easy.

01:15:04I think you will not go unpunished.

01:15:07Punished? By who?

01:15:10There are certain things for which civilization has no answer.

01:15:15But if you choose to meddle thus, then you must be prepared to face the consequences, whatever they are.

01:15:22Consequences? It sounds like a threat.

01:15:26You must excuse me, Mr. Banning.

01:15:29We like to think that our European dress, our liberal education have varied the past.

01:15:35But occasionally one is forced to realize that all this is only a veneer.

01:15:41Thousands of years of traditional belief cannot be dismissed in one generation.

01:15:46Please accept my apologies.

01:15:48Please.

01:15:49I should apologize to you.

01:15:51After all, I only came here to welcome you.

01:15:53I'm afraid I got rather carried away.

01:15:56I mustn't detain you any longer.

01:15:59You haven't detained me at all.

01:16:09May I?

01:16:11Please do.

01:16:14See?

01:16:15The 20th dynasty, isn't it?

01:16:17The 19th.

01:16:19Oh, yes, of course.

01:16:20That's stupid, aren't they?

01:16:22Have you any other pieces in this period?

01:16:24Very few, I'm afraid.

01:16:26A large consignment was lost in transit, I'm sorry to say.

01:16:29How unfortunate.

01:16:30The trouble is, these things are irreplaceable.

01:16:32Quite.

01:16:34Most interesting.

01:16:44Thank you for calling.

01:16:46We shall meet again.

01:16:47It's a small world.

01:16:49Good night.

01:16:50Good night.

01:16:51Good night.

01:17:21Good night.

01:17:22Good night!

01:17:22Good night.

01:17:23have failed you. The task is not yet accomplished, but this will be remedied.

01:17:28Before the sun strokes the horizon, the last desecrator will be dead.

01:17:34This I promise. I have served you faithfully, great God, to the best of my humble ability.

01:17:43But if it should be that I'm unable to commune with you again, then so be it.

01:17:53We go now. Our fate and our destiny we place in your merciful hands.

01:18:15Come, Carice. This time you shall not fail.

01:18:20If it had strangled you there and then it would have served you right.

01:18:23Inspector, my father and his brother were both being killed. I had to do something.

01:18:27Anyway, I found out what you wanted.

01:18:28Are you sure it was him?

01:18:30I'm certain. Apart from his conversation, he had the seal to an uncle's tomb.

01:18:34And what more do you want, Inspector? Surely...

01:18:37I'll tell you, Mrs. Banning. Perhaps your husband is right. Perhaps this man is controlling the mummy.

01:18:42I'm inclined to think he is. But what you don't understand is he has been forced into a position where

01:18:47he has got to act and act soon.

01:18:48I didn't want to force any action until I was ready to deal with it.

01:18:51At that time it might have been too late.

01:18:53Couldn't we get more help?

01:18:54At the moment the sergeant is trying to round off some of the villagers.

01:18:57In the meantime, all I have is P.C. Blake and another man.

01:19:00Where are they?

01:19:01Blake is at the back of the house. The other man is up the road.

01:19:03Let's look.

01:19:05Now, sir, as you're acting as decoy, I think it would be safer if Mrs. Banning came with me.

01:19:09Oh, I don't think so.

01:19:10Oh, don't worry, Mrs. Banning. The man up the road will give us plenty of warning.

01:19:13It's best.

01:19:19If anything happens, fire your gun as a signal.

01:19:50Here he of it are.

01:19:53Let'sし up.

01:19:56Oh, my goodness,ive is over me.

01:20:06You are sharp, Miss.

01:20:06I'm over him.

01:20:09Call me.

01:20:12I will tell you.

01:20:13I'll be sure.

01:20:41Let's go.

01:20:57You stay here, Mrs. Benning.

01:20:59I'm going around the front to check up.

01:21:01All right.

01:21:12You stay here, Mrs. Benning.

01:21:13Let's go.

01:22:24Inspector Mulroney!

01:22:26Inspector Mulroney!

01:22:47Inspector Mulroney!

01:22:52Isabel, go ahead!

01:23:04Stop!

01:23:23Kill her, Carys. Kill her!

01:23:37Kill her!

01:23:43Kill her!

01:24:11What happened?

01:24:14He's taken Isabel.

01:24:23Where do you think you'll take her?

01:24:25The house.

01:24:38Wait! Look!

01:24:44He's taking her to the swamp!

01:25:00No! Don't risk it!

01:25:11Don't shoot!

01:25:12She'll hit Mrs. Benning!

01:25:16Now what are we going to do?

01:25:18Isabel!

01:25:18Have the men line up here.

01:25:20Come on.

01:25:20In a position.

01:25:25Isabel!

01:25:26Isabel!

01:25:27This is John!

01:25:28Isabel!

01:25:29Isabel!

01:25:34Isabel!

01:25:35Tell him to put you down.

01:25:37Tell him, Isabel!

01:25:38Quickly!

01:25:40Carys!

01:25:45Carys!

01:25:46Put me down!

01:25:48Let's get round the other side.

01:25:49Tell the men to be ready.

01:25:51Stand by, Ben!

01:25:52Be ready!

01:25:56Put me down!

01:25:58Carys!

01:25:59Put me down!

01:26:23Isabel!

01:26:25Start walking towards me!

01:26:26Slowly!

01:26:27When I shout, get down as low as you can!

01:26:33Now, Isabel!

01:26:34Fire!

01:26:44See you.

01:26:58Come on!

01:27:00Come on!

01:27:29Time To be alone!

01:27:30No!

01:27:44No!

01:27:46No!

01:27:48No!

01:27:49No!

01:27:50No!
