00:00:00Grazie a tutti.
00:00:39Grazie a tutti.
00:01:00Grazie a tutti.
00:01:02Grazie a tutti.
00:01:36There's nothing to fear here.
00:01:39No, wait.
00:01:40I want to translate these hieroglyphs first.
00:01:46Now, that's...
00:01:48Ten?
00:01:50Ten hundred?
00:01:52A thousand.
00:01:54That's it now.
00:01:54What's this figure here doing?
00:01:57He's touching it.
00:01:59It's so beautiful.
00:02:01Don't rush, Azan.
00:02:04We are so close.
00:02:08These old tombs are often built with...
00:02:11Oh!
00:02:15Death traps.
00:02:19Ivan Makepeace.
00:02:22Are you sure?
00:02:23Oh, yes.
00:02:25Oh, yes.
00:02:25I'd recognize that face anywhere.
00:02:29I told you not to hurry, Azan.
00:02:32Now, just a moment.
00:02:34I think I've got this.
00:02:35That symbol is death.
00:02:41Death.
00:02:43Death by a thousand terrors awaits anyone who touches the sarcophagus.
00:02:48Azan, wait.
00:02:56It's too late.
00:02:59Death by a thousand terrors.
00:03:00Death by a thousand terrors.
00:03:04Death by a thousand terrors.
00:03:08Death by a thousand terrors.
00:03:14Death by a thousand terrors.

00:03:26Death by a thousand terrors.
00:03:27Grazie a tutti.
00:04:10Grazie a tutti.
00:04:43Grazie a tutti.
00:04:46Grazie a tutti.
00:05:22Grazie a tutti.
00:05:56Grazie a tutti.
00:09:28And when you expect to receive it, because whatever it is, it's mine.
00:10:06Some of my spirit of adventure has rubbed off on you.
00:10:09You said you didn't get it from your father.
00:10:12And the less said about my other brother, the better.
00:10:14And his wife.
00:10:18But look at me now.
00:10:20I've outlived the lot of them.
00:10:25That'll be Everett.
00:10:26It's all right.
00:10:28Nancy will see too.
00:10:38You were going to tell me what happened in the pyramid?
00:10:41Nothing happened in the pyramid.
00:10:44It was hours later that the curse came into effect.
00:10:47You really believe in ancient Egyptian curses?
00:10:52I believe in what I saw.
00:10:56The curse promised death by a thousand terrors.
00:11:02And by next morning, Zan was dead.
00:11:09And the look on his face.
00:11:15Uncle Felix.
00:11:17So good to see you.
00:11:20I mean, it's been too long.
00:11:23Well, you're always so busy, Everett.
00:11:26This is true, Uncle.
00:11:27This is true.
00:11:28Lots of irons in the fire, as they say.
00:11:31Oh, and you.
00:11:33Good old, um...
00:11:34Archie.
00:11:35Archie.
00:11:37Good old cousin Archie.
00:11:39You must be a doctor now.
00:11:41Ah, not quite.
00:11:42Still studying.
00:11:43Uncle Felix is letting me use his workshop
00:11:46while I do my research projects.
00:11:49Sounds fascinating.
00:11:50Could you get these gentlemen a drink, please, Nancy?
00:11:54And one for yourself, Uncle?
00:11:56No, no, no.
00:11:59That's part of the issue.
00:12:01I'm afraid.
00:12:08As you know, gentlemen,
00:12:10I've always lived an active life.
00:12:13Be it carving ice caves in Mongolia
00:12:16or wading through marshes in darkest Peru.
00:12:19Nothing has ever held me back.
00:12:22Not even the disapproval of most of the Randolph family.
00:12:26But these last few months,
00:12:28I've been finding things
00:12:30haven't been as easy as they used to be.
00:12:33I get breathless just walking up the stairs
00:12:37here in this house.
00:12:39So last week, I asked a medical man
00:12:42to come and give me the once-over.
00:12:43You could have asked me, Uncle.
00:12:45I know, Archie.
00:12:46But a man likes to keep some things to himself
00:12:50until the time is right
00:12:53and he has put his affairs in order.
00:12:57The fact is, gentlemen,
00:13:01that my old ticker
00:13:03is on the way out.
00:13:06He tells me that as long as I keep to my bed,
00:13:09avoid over-exertion,
00:13:11strong drink, rich foods,
00:13:14then it should last until Christmas.
00:13:17but not beyond.
00:13:21And this is where the matter of your inheritance
00:13:24comes into play.
00:13:27I've spent my life travelling the world
00:13:29collecting rare artefacts
00:13:32and valuable antiquities.
00:13:33My collection to date
00:13:35includes all the major civilisations.
00:13:38Solid gold coins from ancient Rome,
00:13:41beautiful vases from Ming Dynasty China,
00:13:44an original da Vinci print
00:13:46that I found in a junk shop in Venice.
00:13:50And all of these things,
00:13:53with one exception,
00:13:56I have bequeathed
00:13:58to the British Museum.
00:14:03So,
00:14:04what, are you just going to give it all away?
00:14:06Artifacts such as these
00:14:07should be seen by everyone,
00:14:09not to be hoarded away
00:14:10by an old man in search of profit.
00:14:13I think it's an excellent gesture.
00:14:14Is that what all the commotion was yesterday?
00:14:16Yes.
00:14:17It took six carriages to get everything away.
00:14:21But you said with
00:14:22one exception.
00:14:25Yes.
00:14:27There is one item
00:14:30so dangerous
00:14:32it must never see
00:14:34the light of day.
00:14:36The sarcophagus of Konepta.
00:14:39It's here.
00:14:41In the house.
00:14:42Downstairs in the basement.
00:14:44Where it will stay.
00:14:46I intend to have it interred there,
00:14:48bricked up so it can never be seen again.
00:14:50Sorry.
00:14:52What is a sarcophagus?
00:14:55It's an ancient Egyptian burial receptacle.
00:14:57And what does it look like?
00:15:00It's a life-size solid gold humanoid
00:15:03covered in precious jewels.
00:15:06Can I see it?
00:15:08I don't think that's such a good idea, Everett.
00:15:11But it sounds so beautiful, Uncle.
00:15:13Indeed.
00:15:15It is.
00:15:17Well, if it's just going to get bricked up,
00:15:19I probably won't get another chance, will I?
00:15:20Oh, come on, Uncle, please.
00:15:23Yes, of course.
00:15:25Nancy will show you the way.
00:15:28Just one thing.
00:15:32Whatever you do,
00:15:34do not lay a finger on it.
00:15:40You hear that, did you?
00:15:41He's giving it all away.
00:15:43He's mad.
00:15:44He's mad.
00:15:46Was that wise, Uncle?
00:15:50How much trouble can he get up to?
00:15:53Besides, I wanted to talk to you alone.
00:15:57I've seen the way that you and Nancy look at each other.
00:16:02Oh.
00:16:03No need to be ashamed.
00:16:05A young man must be allowed to sow his wild oats.
00:16:09Just don't get her into trouble,
00:16:11whatever you do.
00:16:13Well, it's a bit more serious than that.
00:16:16Oh, you haven't already got her into trouble.
00:16:18No, no.
00:16:20I mean my feelings for her.
00:16:23Hmm.
00:16:26Your mother wouldn't have approved.
00:16:30You're a Randolph, Archie.
00:16:32Carrying on with the maid?
00:16:34Well, she's awfully intelligent.
00:16:37She's been helping me with my research.
00:16:39Just because she's a maid does not...
00:16:41I said your mother wouldn't have approved.
00:16:44Not that I didn't.
00:16:46And it won't affect my decision.
00:16:51What decision?
00:16:53I haven't got a lot, Archie.
00:16:56The treasures that I've spent my life pursuing
00:17:00are all gone.
00:17:02And a family fortune, such as it was,
00:17:06gambled away
00:17:08by Everard's father.
00:17:12But I do have this house.
00:17:16And for what it's worth,
00:17:18it's yours, Archie.
00:17:32Is this it?
00:17:34Dr Randolph told me never to touch it.
00:17:51Well, I don't know what to say.
00:17:54All I ask is that you brick up the basement,
00:17:58as I've said.
00:17:59Well, of course.
00:18:00Beyond that,
00:18:01you can stay exactly as you are.
00:18:04I wouldn't want your research
00:18:07to be interrupted
00:18:08by you having to up sticks
00:18:09and move somewhere else
00:18:10when I kick the bucket.
00:18:14Actually, Uncle,
00:18:16there's something I wanted to tell you.
00:18:27Look at that.
00:18:30The problem is with your heart.
00:18:33So I'm told.
00:18:35It appears that I have been overworking it
00:18:38all these years.
00:18:40I suppose in the end,
00:18:41one always has to pay the piper.
00:18:45But there are things
00:18:46that can be done, Uncle.
00:18:48I've read up on it.
00:18:50Even in my own research.
00:18:52Currently, it's on rats,
00:18:53but I have successfully restarted
00:18:55the heart of an animal.
00:18:57And there was a case in Luxembourg...
00:18:59Stop, Archie.
00:19:00I know you mean well,
00:19:03but I've accepted my condition.
00:19:06But your doctor said
00:19:07there was a chance.
00:19:08So long as I stay in bed,
00:19:11avoid overexertion,
00:19:13strong drink,
00:19:14rich food,
00:19:16et cetera, et cetera.
00:19:18Archie,
00:19:18does that sound like
00:19:19any kind of life?
00:19:26I have something else
00:19:27for you here.
00:19:30What's that for?
00:19:34Oh.
00:19:35A pistol.
00:19:37Um,
00:19:38force of habit,
00:19:39I'm afraid.
00:19:40When you sleep anywhere
00:19:42in the Orient,
00:19:44it's a good idea
00:19:44to be close to a weapon.
00:19:47No,
00:19:48this is what I want you to have.
00:19:50It's my journal
00:19:52of my time in Egypt.
00:19:55Perhaps you can make
00:19:56something of it.
00:19:58Solve the mystery
00:20:00of the cursed sarcophagus.
00:20:05I never could.
00:20:08It's even more beautiful
00:20:10than I ever imagined.
00:20:13It's gold.
00:20:14It's real gold.
00:20:16I mean,
00:20:17it must be worth a fortune.
00:20:20And he wants to brick it up
00:20:21down here.
00:20:24to see about that.
00:20:32Well,
00:20:33uncle,
00:20:33it's been an absolute pleasure.
00:20:36But,
00:20:37let's get back into town,
00:20:38you know,
00:20:39places to be,
00:20:39people to see,
00:20:40and all that.
00:20:41Archie,
00:20:41could you show
00:20:42Everett out,
00:20:43please?
00:20:44I'm a little tired,
00:20:45I think.
00:20:46Yes,
00:20:46of course.
00:20:56Well,
00:20:57it's an impressive building,
00:20:58I'll give you that,
00:20:59Archie.
00:21:03Not sure about
00:21:04these floor tiles,
00:21:05though.
00:21:05Oh,
00:21:06and this wall here
00:21:07is going to have to go.
00:21:09I mean,
00:21:09these old buildings,
00:21:10they're full of these
00:21:11little rooms,
00:21:12aren't they?
00:21:12Not really great
00:21:13for dinner parties,
00:21:13Archie.
00:21:15Actually,
00:21:16Everett,
00:21:17Uncle Felix said
00:21:18he's leaving the house
00:21:19to me.
00:21:21He said what?
00:21:23Well,
00:21:24I'm here for the summer
00:21:25for my research project,
00:21:27and he didn't want
00:21:28to turf me out,
00:21:29if the worst
00:21:30were to happen.
00:21:32And what about
00:21:33that thingamajig
00:21:34in the basement?
00:21:36The sarcophagus?
00:21:38Well,
00:21:39I suppose
00:21:39that'll be mine too,
00:21:40if it's to stay
00:21:42in the basement.
00:21:45That's nice,
00:21:46isn't it?
00:21:47I mean,
00:21:47he writes me
00:21:48to tell me
00:21:48about his inheritance,
00:21:49and then sends me away
00:21:50packing with nothing
00:21:51in my pocket.
00:21:53Typical.
00:21:53Typical of his family.
00:21:54Always treated me
00:21:55like a second-class relative.
00:21:58I'm sorry,
00:21:59Everett,
00:22:00I don't quite know
00:22:00what to say.
00:22:05That's all right,
00:22:06Archie.
00:22:07You've always
00:22:08been a good lad.
00:22:10Now tell me,
00:22:11more about
00:22:12this research stuff.
00:22:13Well,
00:22:14it's rather hard
00:22:14to explain
00:22:15without going
00:22:15into detail.
00:22:17I could show you,
00:22:19if you like.
00:22:23Medical school
00:22:24is closed
00:22:24for the summer,
00:22:25sir.
00:22:26This is where
00:22:27I've been conducting
00:22:28my research.
00:22:29Not bad,
00:22:30Archie.
00:22:34What have you got in there?
00:22:36Rats.
00:22:45Very nice.
00:22:47This will do me
00:22:48for the night,
00:22:48I think.
00:22:50Sorry,
00:22:51what?
00:22:51You don't mind,
00:22:52dear,
00:22:53if I
00:22:54bunk down here
00:22:54with you?
00:22:57It's just that
00:22:57there's only one bed.
00:23:01That's all right.
00:23:03You'd be all right
00:23:03on the floor,
00:23:04wouldn't you?
00:23:06It's just,
00:23:07I thought you needed
00:23:08to get back
00:23:09into town.
00:23:12No rush,
00:23:13but I might
00:23:15stick around
00:23:16for a bit.
00:23:17I'll keep an eye
00:23:17on things.
00:23:18Watch out
00:23:19for you,
00:23:19Archie.
00:23:21Me?
00:23:22Yeah,
00:23:23well,
00:23:26family is family.
00:23:27And what with you
00:23:28being the sole heir
00:23:29and everything.
00:23:30would be tragic
00:23:33if anything
00:23:34happened to you.
00:23:41That,
00:23:41um,
00:23:43sarcophagus?
00:23:44Sarcophagus?
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:47Did Uncle Felix
00:23:48say they actually
00:23:49buried people
00:23:50inside of them?
00:23:52Yes,
00:23:52well,
00:23:53only important people,
00:23:54kings and such like.
00:23:58They would
00:24:00mummify the remains
00:24:01to preserve them,
00:24:03stick them
00:24:04inside a sarcophagus
00:24:08and bury them.
00:24:10That one,
00:24:11I believe,
00:24:12belongs to a princess.
00:24:15Princess?
00:24:17Well,
00:24:18what's left of one?
00:24:20It's not my area
00:24:22of expertise.
00:24:23There's more
00:24:24information in here.
00:24:25What, sir?
00:24:27Uncle Felix's journal.
00:24:34According to the available
00:24:35translated writings,
00:24:38Princess Kineptar
00:24:39was mummified
00:24:39using a unique process
00:24:40to perfectly preserve
00:24:42the body
00:24:42as if in life.
00:24:45Unusually,
00:24:46the princess
00:24:46was interred
00:24:47fully intact,
00:24:49whereas in most cases
00:24:50of Egyptian mummification,
00:24:53a cut is made
00:24:54on the left side
00:24:54of the abdomen
00:24:55and the intestines,
00:24:57liver,
00:24:57stomach and lungs
00:24:58are removed
00:25:00and a hooked instrument
00:25:01was used to remove
00:25:02the brain
00:25:03through the nose.
00:25:04Bloody hell,
00:25:05leave it out,
00:25:06Archie.
00:25:09Oh,
00:25:11apologies,
00:25:12I forget people
00:25:13are squeamish
00:25:14about these things.
00:25:15Yeah,
00:25:15well,
00:25:15you'd be bloody
00:25:16squeamish too
00:25:16if you'd seen
00:25:17the stuff I'd seen
00:25:18today.
00:25:19What's that?
00:25:20Don't worry about it.
00:25:22No,
00:25:22I'm gonna get
00:25:23some shot,
00:25:24I'll probably
00:25:25have bloody
00:25:25nightmares now.
00:25:44.
00:25:48.
00:25:53.
00:25:54.
00:25:54.
00:25:54.
00:26:05Sì, sì, sì.
00:26:20Sì, sì, sì.
00:26:22Everett?
00:26:25Su...
00:26:29No!
00:26:33Can I fly?
00:26:34No!
00:26:36No!
00:26:40No!
00:26:46No!
00:26:48No!
00:26:48No!
00:26:59Cursi come for me at last.
00:27:11What did?
00:27:33è morto
00:27:36guarda, guarda, guarda il suo respiro
00:27:39è quasi come se
00:27:41è stato scusato
00:27:43è morto
00:27:47Bloody hell.
00:27:49What's happened?
00:27:52Did you touch it?
00:27:54What?
00:27:55The sarcophagus. Did you touch it?
00:27:59What?
00:28:01I...
00:28:11I knew it.
00:28:16He specifically told you not to touch it.
00:28:19I only wanted to have a look.
00:28:20It's cursed, Everett.
00:28:23Sorry, what?
00:28:26Hold the lamp.
00:28:30Whoa.
00:28:31What are you doing?
00:28:33Why do you think he told you not to touch it?
00:28:35Probably for what I was going to nick it.
00:28:38Were you?
00:28:43What's all this about a curse?
00:28:46Anyone who touches the sarcophagus is doomed to a death by a thousand terrors.
00:28:57Something scared the hell out of you just now, didn't it?
00:28:59Just a dream, that's all.
00:29:02Was it?
00:29:03You were screaming and thrashing on that bed.
00:29:07I've never seen anything like it.
00:29:12If Uncle Felix suffered the same experience as you, no wonder his heart gave out.
00:29:19That's nonsense.
00:29:20I mean, yeah, I touched the sarcophagus.
00:29:24Uncle Felix didn't.
00:29:26So how come he's dead and I'm not?
00:29:31You might have been, if I hadn't have woken you.
00:29:34Come on, Archie.
00:29:36I mean, you're supposed to be a scientist, right?
00:29:39Surely you don't believe in curses?
00:30:08Archie, are you all right?
00:30:11Yes.
00:30:12A little tired.
00:30:14Did you manage to sleep much?
00:30:16No.
00:30:18Me neither.
00:30:21Where's...
00:30:21Everett's.
00:30:22I was out of the crack of dawn.
00:30:24Said he had things to do.
00:30:27I brought you some tea.
00:30:30Nancy.
00:30:31You don't have to do that anymore.
00:30:33You're employed by my Uncle Felix, not by me.
00:30:37You don't have to be a maid for anyone anymore.
00:30:39Well, that's all very well and good, Archie.
00:30:41But it also means I'm out of a job now.
00:30:43And you don't have one either.
00:30:45So, what will we do?
00:30:48Well, don't worry.
00:30:50As soon as I'm qualified as a doctor,
00:30:52you'll be able to open up a practice far away from here.
00:30:55Where I'll just be Dr Randolph,
00:30:57and you'll just be Mrs Randolph.
00:30:58No one will know your background, sir.
00:31:03Why are you looking at me like that?
00:31:06Mrs Randolph?
00:31:08Are you asking me to marry you, Archie?
00:31:12Well, I suppose I am.
00:31:19Well, is that a yes, then?
00:31:21Of course it is.
00:31:23You know, deep down,
00:31:25I always wondered if your feelings for me were real.
00:31:28Of course they are.
00:31:29Real enough, I mean.
00:31:31Compared to what you might have to sacrifice.
00:31:35What are you talking about?
00:31:38You know what I'm talking about.
00:31:42A Randolph shouldn't marry someone like me,
00:31:44and you know it.
00:31:46Well, I am a Randolph.
00:31:50And I get to say whether I should marry you or not.
00:31:53And I say that I should.
00:32:00Oh, tea.
00:32:01Very nice.
00:32:08You were out earlier this morning?
00:32:11Yeah, I wanted to get to the newspaper office.
00:32:13See, I've got power in there that can get a story out quick.
00:32:16Look at that.
00:32:22Obituaries.
00:32:26Dr Felix Randolph.
00:32:31Oh, I've registered the death over at the town hall,
00:32:34and I've arranged the undertakers to collect the body.
00:32:37You certainly don't waste any time, do you?
00:32:41I'm just thinking of you, Archie.
00:32:45Probate is a slow process.
00:32:48And I don't suppose
00:32:50this research brings in much money, does it?
00:32:53Well, one day it will.
00:32:56One day I'll be able to prevent
00:32:58what happened to Uncle Felix.
00:33:00You working on a cure for death now, eh?
00:33:03Not exactly.
00:33:05But restarting the heart after a major trauma.
00:33:10It can be done, Everett.
00:33:11It's entirely possible.
00:33:13There was a case in Luxembourg.
00:33:15where a patient had been pronounced dead for 30 minutes
00:33:18before being successfully revived.
00:33:20And I'm replicating this process on my rats.
00:33:25Do you know, there's a lot of people in town
00:33:26that make a lot of money out of killing rats.
00:33:28And there you are trying to bring the buggers back to life.
00:33:31Well, all I'm trying to do now
00:33:34is figure out this curse business.
00:33:37It's my understanding that these ancient Egyptians
00:33:40were rather advanced with their
00:33:42pharmacological and medical knowledge.
00:33:45Fascinating, I'm sure.
00:33:50I've been meaning to ask you,
00:33:54what exactly was it that you experienced?
00:33:59Oh, nothing.
00:34:01Just a dream.
00:34:03Probably brought on by all that talk of extracting organs.
00:34:06Yes.
00:34:07Organs.
00:34:07You said it wanted your heart.
00:34:11What did?
00:34:19Oh, it's not.
00:34:21Nothing I've
00:34:22ever seen before.
00:34:26She, she had
00:34:30bandages.
00:34:30It's a time in bandages.
00:34:32A woman?
00:34:33She was once.
00:34:35The princess?
00:34:36Kineptar?
00:34:37Nonsense.
00:34:38And even if it was some sort of
00:34:41curse,
00:34:41then how comes it only affected Uncle Felix
00:34:43and not the rest of you?
00:34:46I don't know.
00:34:49What's the name of that princess again?
00:34:51Er,
00:34:52Kineptar.
00:34:53How do you spell it?
00:34:55Er.
00:35:01K-H-E-N-M-E-T-P-T-A-H.
00:35:10Lovely.
00:35:11Thank you very much.
00:35:12Why did you want to know that?
00:35:15Just interested.
00:35:41Nobby.
00:35:43Get the clamp.
00:35:50What's this?
00:35:51It's my hand.
00:35:53Signs.
00:35:54You like for the clamp?
00:35:56We're a bit beyond that stage,
00:35:57Mr Randolph.
00:36:00There's something else you've got two of
00:36:02that we're going to be
00:36:02putting in the clamp today.
00:36:05Get his pants off, lads.
00:36:06Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
00:36:07You were supposed to come and see me
00:36:09after your little meeting.
00:36:10Just on my way.
00:36:11You were heading in the wrong direction.
00:36:13No, I was, I was just...
00:36:14Get him on the table, lads.
00:36:16I had to sort out a few things,
00:36:17okay?
00:36:18Take, take care of business.
00:36:19Take care of what?
00:36:21When are you getting this inheritance?
00:36:26Obituary's...
00:36:27The back page.
00:36:36Noted explorer.
00:36:39Felix Randolph.
00:36:42He's dead.
00:36:46Died last night.
00:36:48Well, that was bloody quick.
00:36:51Did you have something to do with this?
00:36:53Had a weak heart.
00:36:56Yeah.
00:36:58I, er...
00:36:58Might have helped things
00:36:59move along a bit, yeah?
00:37:02Well, well.
00:37:04I've got to say,
00:37:05I'm impressed, Everett.
00:37:06I never thought you had the balls
00:37:08to do something like that.
00:37:09Well, it's all the same to you, Sykes.
00:37:11I very much like to keep hold of them.
00:37:15All right.
00:37:17Let him go.
00:37:21Much obliged.
00:37:23So what can we expect to receive
00:37:25from your late uncle?
00:37:26Oh, it's beautiful, Sykes.
00:37:27It really is.
00:37:29I mean, it's gold,
00:37:30jewel-encrusted.
00:37:324,000 years old.
00:37:33I mean, it's priceless.
00:37:35Your share of it
00:37:36will certainly clear my debt with you.
00:37:42My share of it?
00:37:45You do make me laugh, Everett.
00:37:47I mean,
00:37:48whoever said anything about shares?
00:37:53You see, the plan is
00:37:55I get the inheritance.
00:37:59And you,
00:38:01you get to avoid what happened to
00:38:03Alice happening to you.
00:38:04At least I'm not a woman, Sykes, eh?
00:38:07Well, these lads aren't fussy, Everett.
00:38:10They've done long stretches inside.
00:38:12You know how it is.
00:38:16If I don't see some hard evidence
00:38:18of all this money you're gonna make,
00:38:19by the end of tomorrow,
00:38:22you'll be a dead man.
00:38:24All right?
00:38:35Having exhausted the writings
00:38:36on the wall of the tomb,
00:38:39I began to research further
00:38:40into the life and death of the princess.
00:38:44Why had such a prominent person
00:38:46died at such a young age?
00:38:50What I discovered shocked me to my core.
00:38:54What are you reading?
00:38:56This is Uncle Felix's journal.
00:38:59I'm trying to figure out
00:39:00this curse business.
00:39:02According to the journal,
00:39:04it's only those who've had
00:39:05direct physical contact
00:39:06with the sarcophagus
00:39:07who've fallen victim to it.
00:39:09Well, Everett certainly did.
00:39:11Rubbed his hand all over it
00:39:12like he was in love with it.
00:39:14In love with the gold
00:39:15and the jewels,
00:39:16I should imagine.
00:39:20Which hand did he use?
00:39:23Er, his right, I think.
00:39:28The same one he used
00:39:30to shake hands with Uncle Felix.
00:39:33I wonder.
00:39:51Everett Randolph.
00:39:53Did you manage to pick up
00:39:54that jewellery I told you about?
00:39:55I'm sorry, Ivy.
00:39:58Just couldn't get the cash in time.
00:40:00Can't win any more.
00:40:01Maybe next time, eh?
00:40:04I've, er...
00:40:05actually got something for you.
00:40:08Let's have a look at it then.
00:40:09Well, it's not with me.
00:40:11It's a bit big.
00:40:13I need to cash it in quick.
00:40:16It's in your line.
00:40:17What is it?
00:40:18An antique?
00:40:18Yeah, you could say that.
00:40:214,000 years old,
00:40:22to be exact.
00:40:32What are you going to do?
00:40:35Well,
00:40:36we've got to open her up.
00:40:37Have a closer look at her.
00:40:39Are you sure?
00:40:41Don't worry.
00:40:42I'll be careful.
00:40:46Oh, you wait till you see it.
00:40:48I mean, it's...
00:40:49It's beautiful.
00:40:50It's gold.
00:40:52It's as big as a person.
00:40:53It's priceless.
00:40:54And they actually buried
00:40:56an Egyptian princess inside it.
00:41:04Kenepta.
00:41:06You've heard of it, eh?
00:41:07Of course I have.
00:41:09Someone Felix Randolph dug up, isn't he?
00:41:11Well, you see,
00:41:14Felix was my uncle.
00:41:16And he died last night.
00:41:18Which is how I managed
00:41:19to get my hands on him.
00:41:22Poor old Felix Randolph.
00:41:24Finally caught up with him in the end.
00:41:27What did?
00:41:28The curse.
00:41:30From that sarcophagus.
00:41:43I thought so.
00:41:45There's a layer of oil
00:41:46coating the sarcophagus.
00:41:48I'll need to take us on.
00:41:50Be careful, Archie.
00:41:51Not to worry.
00:41:52I'm wearing gloves.
00:41:54So you've heard about this
00:41:56curse then, have you?
00:41:58Everybody knows about it.
00:41:59Everybody in the trade, anyway.
00:42:02Randolph had to charter his own ship
00:42:04to bring it to London.
00:42:05No bugger would touch it.
00:42:06It's all nonsense, Ivy.
00:42:08And I heard
00:42:09someone on the ship
00:42:10thought he'd have a butcher's
00:42:12and it sent him mad.
00:42:14He threw himself overboard.
00:42:16Ivy's not that bad.
00:42:18I touched it.
00:42:20I'm not dead.
00:42:21You what?
00:42:24Get out.
00:42:26And don't you dare
00:42:27bring that sarcophagus in here.
00:42:29I don't want to be
00:42:30anywhere near it.
00:42:31Fine.
00:42:31I'll take it over
00:42:32to Irish Bob's place.
00:42:34He'll tell you the same thing
00:42:35I did.
00:42:36Anyone in the trade will.
00:42:38That thing's not priceless.
00:42:40It's worthless.
00:42:42You couldn't pay anyone
00:42:44to take it off your hands.
00:42:47Now go on.
00:42:49Get out.
00:43:05What are you doing?
00:43:06I have a theory.
00:43:10That this curse is more
00:43:13pharmacological than it is
00:43:14supernatural.
00:43:19Everett uses his right hand
00:43:20to touch the sarcophagus.
00:43:21pouring a thin coating of oil.
00:43:24And then he shook hands
00:43:25with Uncle Felix
00:43:26passing it on to him.
00:43:28I'm doing the same
00:43:29to one of my rats.
00:43:41There are certain chemicals
00:43:42known to have a
00:43:43psychotropic effect
00:43:44when they enter the bloodstream.
00:43:48which means...
00:43:50It makes you see things.
00:43:52Drives you insane.
00:43:55Seems very possible to me
00:43:57that these clever Egyptians
00:43:58created some form of
00:43:59powerful psychotropic formula
00:44:02and then mixed it with something.
00:44:04Like ground thorns.
00:44:07Something sharp enough
00:44:07to pierce the skin
00:44:08but small enough
00:44:09that you'd never feel it.
00:44:10and then they coated
00:44:12the sarcophagus with it.
00:44:14But...
00:44:14Wait.
00:44:15Listen.
00:44:19He's becoming agitated.
00:44:22I think it's working.
00:44:25It's horrible.
00:44:27Poor thing.
00:44:28Yes.
00:44:29Right now he's experiencing
00:44:30pure terror
00:44:31and then his body
00:44:32will release adrenaline.
00:44:33Too much for the heart
00:44:34to cope with.
00:44:35It's only a matter of time
00:44:37before...
00:44:52He's dead.
00:44:54Is that what happened
00:44:55to Dr Randolph?
00:44:57I'm afraid so.
00:45:01No, we've just got...
00:45:03to...
00:45:05What is it?
00:45:10Oh, gosh.
00:45:11I am so stupid.
00:45:13So bloody stupid.
00:45:14What is it, Archie?
00:45:15The oil.
00:45:16If it can penetrate the skin,
00:45:18it can penetrate leather.
00:45:34I'm dead.
00:45:36Is there any change, mister?
00:45:39You what?
00:45:39Is there any change?
00:45:41Does it look like
00:45:42I've got money to waste?
00:45:43Like you've got more than me.
00:45:45At least you ain't begging
00:45:46in the streets.
00:45:47Yeah, we'll give it time.
00:45:49I might be by tomorrow.
00:45:52Go on, mister.
00:45:53Just a penny.
00:45:55I'll work for it.
00:45:57I'll do anything for a penny.
00:45:58All right.
00:45:59I'll think about it.
00:46:01I'm always here, mister.
00:46:03Day all night.
00:46:04Just ask around for Shelley.
00:46:08That's it, Nancy.
00:46:09As tight as you can.
00:46:12If I start thrashing around,
00:46:14I'm liable to injure myself.
00:46:16What else can I do?
00:46:17Just watch over me.
00:46:21If I go into a trance,
00:46:23you'll have to wake me.
00:46:24How?
00:46:25Do whatever it takes.
00:46:26It won't be easy,
00:46:27but it's the only way
00:46:28to save my life.
00:46:30You'll need to wake me
00:46:31before the adrenaline
00:46:32in my system
00:46:32starts to overstimulate my heart
00:46:34and...
00:46:35Nancy.
00:46:39Oh, God.
00:46:40Okay.
00:46:42Whatever you see, Archie,
00:46:44it is not real.
00:46:57Oh, look.
00:47:05No.
00:47:07No, no, not my heart.
00:47:08No.
00:47:10No.
00:47:12No, not my heart.
00:47:19Are you all right?
00:47:22I think so.
00:47:24My heart is pounding.
00:47:26You make me feel the same way.
00:47:32You did it, Nancy.
00:47:34You saved my life.
00:47:43I knew it.
00:47:45I knew there was something
00:47:46going on between the two of you.
00:47:48I didn't have you down
00:47:49as the kinky sort, though.
00:47:51You want to watch her, Archie?
00:47:52She'll have you wearing
00:47:53her dresses next.
00:47:54I know the type.
00:47:54Shut up and come and
00:47:56help untie me.
00:47:57I've just been through
00:47:57the same thing
00:47:58you and Uncle Felix have.
00:48:00You've been cursed, or what?
00:48:02It's not a curse.
00:48:07It's a psychotropic chemical.
00:48:11It gets under your skin
00:48:13and it makes you
00:48:15see things.
00:48:18Terrible things.
00:48:20And then your body
00:48:21starts to produce adrenaline
00:48:22too much for the heart
00:48:23to cope with
00:48:24and you die.
00:48:25Unless someone
00:48:26can snap you out of it.
00:48:28And how did you
00:48:29work that out?
00:48:30Science.
00:48:32Science and research.
00:48:34It's what I do.
00:48:35And Nancy assists me.
00:48:37I bet she does.
00:48:41This is the stuff.
00:48:43Oh, be careful, Archie.
00:48:44I've never seen anything
00:48:46quite like it.
00:48:47This could be
00:48:48a very valuable discovery.
00:48:51Valuable.
00:48:53To the scientific community.
00:48:55A viable source
00:48:56of knowledge.
00:48:58And there was me
00:48:59thinking that maybe
00:49:00we could bottle it up
00:49:01and sell it.
00:49:03Bloody hell, Archie.
00:49:04There's got to be
00:49:05some way of getting
00:49:05some sort of value
00:49:06out of this thing.
00:49:13Look, I'm on a level
00:49:14with you, Archie.
00:49:17I need to find a way
00:49:18of making some money
00:49:19fast.
00:49:21Well, we'll have to
00:49:23sell the house
00:49:24eventually.
00:49:25No, no, no.
00:49:25Not eventually, Archie.
00:49:27Now.
00:49:28Okay?
00:49:28See, I owe a lot
00:49:30of money.
00:49:31And if I don't find
00:49:32a way of making
00:49:33this money,
00:49:34by tomorrow,
00:49:37I'm dead.
00:49:41Look,
00:49:42I don't know
00:49:43what to say.
00:49:46Making money
00:49:47has never really
00:49:48been my strong suit.
00:49:50Well, even Nancy
00:49:51and I are worried
00:49:51about how we'll manage
00:49:52with Uncle Felix gone.
00:49:54You're bloody useless.
00:49:55The superior
00:49:56are useless.
00:49:57I don't even know
00:49:58why I'm talking
00:49:59to you.
00:50:09What's this?
00:50:11Live on show
00:50:12tonight.
00:50:13The Hottenton
00:50:14Venus.
00:50:16I've heard about that.
00:50:17It's terribly cruel.
00:50:19Some poor
00:50:20African woman
00:50:20they've put on show
00:50:21half-and-dressed
00:50:22for people to gawk at.
00:50:23Tickets are
00:50:25frappence apiece.
00:50:27They've got to be
00:50:28raking it in
00:50:29just to see
00:50:30this African woman.
00:50:32I've, uh,
00:50:33I've seen her, actually.
00:50:35You have?
00:50:37Uh, it was
00:50:38with the Academy.
00:50:40All of us went,
00:50:41um, for
00:50:43educational purposes.
00:50:44It's no more
00:50:45than a freak show.
00:50:46She has very unusual
00:50:47physical characteristics.
00:50:49That's a polite way
00:50:49of saying it.
00:50:52I've got to get
00:50:53the dinner on.
00:51:17What are you thinking?
00:51:20If they're willing
00:51:21to pay frappence
00:51:22to see some
00:51:23woman from Africa,
00:51:26what would they
00:51:26be willing
00:51:27to pay to see
00:51:28an actual
00:51:28ancient
00:51:29Egyptian princess?
00:51:32Everett,
00:51:33you can't
00:51:34put a dead body
00:51:35on display,
00:51:36even if it is
00:51:37a thousand-year-old
00:51:38dead princess.
00:51:40I'm not talking
00:51:41about a dead princess.
00:51:44I'm talking
00:51:44about a live one.
00:51:48I'm sorry,
00:51:48what?
00:51:49Think about it,
00:51:50Archie.
00:51:50a living,
00:51:51breathing,
00:51:53historical artefact
00:51:54from far off
00:51:54Egypt.
00:51:55I mean,
00:51:56forget frappence,
00:51:57we could charge
00:51:57a pound a pop
00:51:58and they'll still
00:51:59be lining the
00:51:59streets outside.
00:52:02It's possible
00:52:03to restart a heart.
00:52:04You said that
00:52:05some mush over
00:52:06in Finland did it.
00:52:08Luxembourg.
00:52:09And in that case,
00:52:10the patient had been
00:52:10dead for 30 minutes,
00:52:12not 4,000 years.
00:52:14What difference
00:52:15does it make?
00:52:16Dead is dead,
00:52:17as long as all the
00:52:17parts are in good nick.
00:52:20This is ridiculous.
00:52:21It's unthinkable.
00:52:22They worked
00:52:22with the rats,
00:52:23didn't they?
00:52:24How did you do that?
00:52:28Well,
00:52:29I gave them
00:52:29a large shot
00:52:30of adrenaline.
00:52:32But rats
00:52:33are much simpler
00:52:33beings than humans.
00:52:35There's the higher
00:52:36brain function
00:52:37to consider.
00:52:38Even if we could
00:52:39get her body going,
00:52:41who's to say
00:52:42what condition
00:52:42the mind would be in?
00:52:44I mean,
00:52:44you've got to admit
00:52:44it's an intriguing idea.
00:52:50and if it worked,
00:52:52it would definitely
00:52:53make your name
00:52:53as a doctor.
00:52:55I mean,
00:52:56Archie,
00:52:56you'd be world famous.
00:52:57The man
00:52:58that conquered death.
00:53:00I mean,
00:53:02you and Nancy
00:53:02would never need
00:53:04to worry about money
00:53:04ever again.
00:53:07And neither
00:53:07will you,
00:53:08I suppose.
00:53:09I'd only want
00:53:10my fair share, Archie.
00:53:11And how much
00:53:12is your fair share,
00:53:14considering I'd be
00:53:15doing most of the work?
00:53:16so you are
00:53:17considering it then?
00:53:19Look,
00:53:20Everett,
00:53:21it's not that simple.
00:53:22The body
00:53:23ought to be
00:53:24perfectly preserved,
00:53:25but
00:53:26what if the
00:53:27mummification process
00:53:28has failed,
00:53:28or
00:53:29the organs,
00:53:30what if they're
00:53:31all putrefied?
00:53:32Let's get her out
00:53:33and have a proper look
00:53:34then.
00:53:35Right now?
00:53:36There's no time
00:53:36like the present,
00:53:37Archie.
00:53:39And I did say
00:53:40that I was in
00:53:40a bit of a hurry,
00:53:42so...
00:53:44All right.
00:53:45But we have
00:53:45to do this
00:53:46quickly.
00:53:47I don't want
00:53:48Nancy to know
00:53:48about any of this.
00:53:49She'd be appalled
00:53:50at the idea.
00:53:51How do you know?
00:53:52Because I'm appalled
00:53:53at the idea.
00:53:54But you are
00:53:55intrigued by the
00:53:56possibility,
00:53:57aren't you?
00:53:58Against my
00:53:59better judgment.
00:54:01It must be
00:54:02that sense of
00:54:02adventure Felix
00:54:03always spoke about.
00:54:16I don't know
00:54:16why I keep
00:54:17closing this.
00:54:19I only end up
00:54:20opening it
00:54:20back up again.
00:54:22Do you want
00:54:22to hang with it?
00:54:23Uh, grab the
00:54:24chisel.
00:54:46And now
00:54:47for the fun part.
00:54:55Let's crack it
00:54:56open.
00:55:14Come on in.
00:55:15Let's have a proper
00:55:15look at her.
00:55:17Do you like to see
00:55:18anything in that
00:55:18basement?
00:55:20I wouldn't get
00:55:20your hopes up,
00:55:21I would.
00:55:25Giddy arms.
00:55:29I'm starting to think
00:55:30that people would
00:55:31actually pay just
00:55:31to see her like this.
00:55:34Well, she won't
00:55:35stay like this
00:55:35for long.
00:55:37See, the sarcophagus
00:55:38was sealed airtight.
00:55:39Now that she's out
00:55:40in the oxygen,
00:55:41her body's going
00:55:42to start to atrophy.
00:55:44Unless I can get
00:55:44her blood moving
00:55:45and then...
00:55:49What?
00:55:52It's no use
00:55:53over it.
00:55:53This is never
00:55:54going to work.
00:55:56In the case in
00:55:57Luxembourg,
00:55:57the patient had only
00:55:58been dead for 30
00:55:59minutes.
00:56:00But I thought
00:56:00we agreed that...
00:56:01The purpose of blood
00:56:02is to carry oxygen
00:56:03to all of the
00:56:04internal organs.
00:56:05Yes, you so so?
00:56:06Blood is oxygenated
00:56:07from the lungs,
00:56:07breathing in and out.
00:56:09Well, after 4,000
00:56:11years in a sarcophagus,
00:56:12any blood that remains
00:56:13in her body,
00:56:15well, it's not going
00:56:16to have any oxygen
00:56:17in it.
00:56:20Before we start
00:56:21her heart,
00:56:21we're going to have
00:56:22to do a blood
00:56:22transfusion.
00:56:24What's that mean?
00:56:26It means we're
00:56:27going to need blood.
00:56:29Fresh blood.
00:56:31From a living,
00:56:32breathing,
00:56:33human volunteer.
00:56:35Well, don't look
00:56:35at me.
00:56:36Well, do you want
00:56:37to do this or not?
00:56:38Yeah, of course.
00:56:39Then we need to do it
00:56:40by tonight,
00:56:41before the body
00:56:41starts to decay.
00:56:48I've got an idea.
00:56:51Have you got a penny
00:56:51I can borrow?
00:56:58Whatever fault?
00:57:02Wait and see, Archie.
00:57:03Wait and see.
00:57:04Look, I need to nip out.
00:57:06I'll be back later tonight.
00:57:08You're going out,
00:57:09but we need to
00:57:09to open her up.
00:57:10We need to check
00:57:10the condition of her organs.
00:57:12Oh, Christ.
00:57:12You don't need me
00:57:13to help you with her.
00:57:15No, I suppose not.
00:57:18But it is going
00:57:19to take some time.
00:57:20I'll put everything
00:57:21back exactly
00:57:22where I found it.
00:57:24Well,
00:57:26you better get on
00:57:27with it then,
00:57:28wouldn't you?
00:57:31Well,
00:57:34I'll see you later.
00:57:52I'm sorry.
00:57:53It doesn't matter.
00:57:55No, I mean about Everett.
00:57:59Everett's always been
00:58:01a bit difficult.
00:58:04But having seen the way
00:58:05the family have treated him,
00:58:06I can hardly blame him.
00:58:08I can hardly believe
00:58:09the two of you are related.
00:58:13Well, we might not be,
00:58:15actually.
00:58:16Rumor at the time
00:58:17was that Everett's father,
00:58:19my uncle
00:58:21was not actually
00:58:22his father,
00:58:23if you know what I mean.
00:58:27It was a big scandal
00:58:28at the time.
00:58:29Tarnished the family name,
00:58:31so the entire family
00:58:32shunned Everett.
00:58:35I see.
00:58:37Plus, his father
00:58:38was an inveterate gambler.
00:58:40He lost fortunes
00:58:41at the card tables,
00:58:42so...
00:58:45Everett had to make
00:58:46his own way in the world.
00:58:49And...
00:58:50Is the family name
00:58:51still important to you?
00:58:54What do you mean?
00:58:56If people found out
00:58:58about you and me,
00:59:01would you be ashamed of me?
00:59:04No.
00:59:05Of course not.
00:59:09But you know how people are.
00:59:12It still feels funny
00:59:14sitting at this table
00:59:15with you
00:59:17instead of eating by myself
00:59:18in the kitchen.
00:59:21I do miss Dr. Randolph,
00:59:23but it's so nice
00:59:24just to be myself
00:59:25around the house
00:59:26instead of keeping
00:59:26everything secret.
00:59:32What is it, Archie?
00:59:33Is something wrong?
00:59:38I've never kept secrets, Nancy.
00:59:41Not from you, I mean.
00:59:42I know that, Archie.
00:59:45So if I asked you
00:59:46to trust me,
00:59:48would you?
00:59:50What are you getting at?
00:59:53Me and Everett.
00:59:55We're working on something.
00:59:56Oh no,
00:59:57what has he talked you into?
00:59:59It's something that could be
01:00:01incredible.
01:00:02It could be fantastic.
01:00:05It could solve
01:00:06all of our problems.
01:00:10Or...
01:00:12or what?
01:00:14Or it could be
01:00:15a horrible nightmare.
01:00:18And for that reason,
01:00:19after dinner, Nancy,
01:00:21I want you to go to your room
01:00:22and stay there
01:00:23until morning.
01:00:24Do not come out,
01:00:25no matter what you hear.
01:00:27What on earth
01:00:27are you talking about?
01:00:28Please, Nancy.
01:00:30Promise me.
01:00:31But what if you get into trouble?
01:00:33is it something to do
01:00:34with that sarcophagus?
01:00:37No.
01:00:38No.
01:00:39We won't be going
01:00:40near that again.
01:00:42I still don't like
01:00:43the sound of this.
01:00:45I know.
01:00:46And I knew you wouldn't.
01:00:49but I have to try this.
01:00:52And if it does work,
01:00:55we'd never have to worry
01:00:56about money again.
01:01:01All right, Archie.
01:01:03I trust you.
01:01:05But I don't trust your cousin.
01:01:07Neither do I.
01:01:09But I don't think
01:01:10I can do this without him.
01:01:19Remember what I said.
01:01:21Stay in your room tonight.
01:01:23We'll know if we've succeeded
01:01:25by the morning.
01:01:26It isn't something dangerous,
01:01:27is it?
01:01:28I don't know.
01:01:29I don't think so.
01:01:31You're sure Everett
01:01:32is enforcing you?
01:01:33I'll admit he can be
01:01:35very persuasive.
01:01:39If at any time
01:01:41I don't feel like
01:01:42I'm doing the right thing.
01:01:44I'll put a stop to it.
01:01:45All right.
01:02:09Why did they do this to you?
01:02:11to you?
01:02:16To me.
01:02:37Grazie a tutti.
01:02:51Grazie a tutti.
01:03:18So there it was.
01:03:21The truth about Konepta.
01:03:25There was no other such case in recorded history.
01:03:30Making my find absolutely unique.
01:03:35Unique?
01:03:36And yet so grim I feared no museum would ever dare exhibit it.
01:03:56This is a nice house.
01:03:58Is it yours?
01:04:02Not yet.
01:04:06What is it that you want me to do then?
01:04:11I've already said it's hard to explain.
01:04:44Archie.
01:04:45Rather extraordinary actually.
01:04:47So we're in business then?
01:04:49Look Everett.
01:04:50I've been reading Uncle Felix's journal.
01:04:52There's some more information here regarding...
01:04:54That sounds beautiful.
01:04:55Maybe you could tell me about that later.
01:04:57Sorry to interrupt you two gentlemen.
01:05:00But what is it exactly that you wanted me to do?
01:05:05You haven't told her why she's here?
01:05:07Well I thought it would be better coming from you.
01:05:10God.
01:05:11All right sir.
01:05:12Shelley is it?
01:05:15Why don't you lay on the bed?
01:05:21I knew it.
01:05:23With the two of you at once is it?
01:05:25No no.
01:05:26No no no.
01:05:26You got me here under false pretenses.
01:05:28You did sign that you would do anything for a penny.
01:05:30I didn't mean that.
01:05:32I might be a beggar.
01:05:33But I'm not a whore.
01:05:35If I may.
01:05:37All we need is some of your blood.
01:05:46What the bleeding hell is this?
01:05:48Look we can explain.
01:05:49Help.
01:05:50Help police.
01:05:52Murder.
01:05:53Let me go.
01:05:55Get off me.
01:05:55Let me go.
01:05:56Calm down.
01:05:58Get off me.
01:05:59Get off me you murderers.
01:06:08Well this is just great.
01:06:11Hold on.
01:06:14It's all right.
01:06:16She's just out cold.
01:06:17This is not all right Everett.
01:06:19This is awful.
01:06:21Come on don't we get her out of the bed.
01:06:22I promised Nancy at any point I felt uncomfortable with this.
01:06:25I would put a stop to it.
01:06:27Oh yeah.
01:06:28In any case the girl will never agree to it.
01:06:31She doesn't have to now does she?
01:06:32You can just do your thing.
01:06:35Well she's unconscious.
01:06:37That is entirely unethical.
01:06:40Never mind dangerous.
01:06:42How would we know if we've taken too much blood?
01:06:44This whole thing is becoming intolerable.
01:06:52Is it?
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:54It is.
01:06:56And I haven't even told you the worst of it.
01:07:00It had never even occurred to you as to why the princess was interred at such a young age.
01:07:04How she died.
01:07:05No.
01:07:05Archie it didn't occur to me and what's more.
01:07:08I don't care.
01:07:10But if you're thinking of backing out on me.
01:07:13I've got news for you.
01:07:16While I was out I popped in to see my pal over at the newspaper.
01:07:19He was delighted when I gave him this little tip about this young heir from a well-to-do family
01:07:25who's been caught having his wicked way with the maid.
01:07:29You know how much the press love a scant.
01:07:33Especially when it involves a Randolph.
01:07:36They're going to print that.
01:07:39Not if I put a stop to it, no.
01:07:43What?
01:07:44They call it a dead man's switch, Archie.
01:07:46Every day I go into the office I tell them to put an hold on a story.
01:07:49But when that day comes that I don't show up, well...
01:07:52It goes to print.
01:07:56We're doing this, Archie, whether you like it or not.
01:08:22So how long is this going to take then?
01:08:25Well, the average person has about eight pints of blood in their body.
01:08:28Now that's what carries oxygen to all of the organs.
01:08:31Naturally, we can't take all eight pints.
01:08:33Well, why is that?
01:08:36She would die.
01:08:38Right.
01:08:41All we need is enough to get the heart pumping the blood around the body.
01:08:43And then, once the organs start to work,
01:08:45the princess's body will start to generate its own blood supply.
01:08:50And, um...
01:08:51How do we know when we've got enough blood?
01:08:54I have no idea.
01:08:56To be honest, this is all guesswork.
01:08:58Guesswork?
01:08:58I thought you was meant to be a doctor.
01:09:00This isn't exactly what doctors do, Everett.
01:09:04So what happens after this blood tranny, uh...
01:09:07Well, there comes the hard part.
01:09:09We need adrenaline.
01:09:10I've only ever done that on rats.
01:09:13Done what?
01:09:14Extracted it.
01:09:15Pure adrenaline.
01:09:17A 4,000-year-old heart is going to need a rather large dose.
01:09:21Now, the body only creates it under certain conditions.
01:09:25Hmm.
01:09:27When they're scared, right?
01:09:28See, I was listening.
01:09:30And I was never exactly sure on how we were going to.
01:09:39Is she waking up?
01:09:41No.
01:09:42She looks too weak.
01:09:45Shelley.
01:09:46Shelley, wake up.
01:09:47Shelley.
01:09:51What are you doing?
01:09:52She's losing too much blood.
01:09:53I've got to turn it off.
01:09:54What if it's not enough blood to wake up the princess?
01:09:56Everett, she's going to die.
01:09:58Leave it a bit longer.
01:10:03Asid, leave it.
01:10:22She's dead.
01:10:26This is over.
01:10:28No.
01:10:29It's not over until I say it is.
01:10:30A girl has died.
01:10:32You'd better her than me.
01:10:39What's going on?
01:10:42Nancy, I told you not to come down.
01:10:45How could I stay upstairs with all the crushing and the screaming and get back?
01:10:52Archie, what's going on?
01:10:53It's okay, Nancy.
01:10:55It's over now.
01:11:03It's not over, Archie.
01:11:05Not by a long shot.
01:11:08Now, we've got an Egyptian princess over there full of fresh blood.
01:11:14And you're going to restart her heart.
01:11:17Everett, I can't.
01:11:18Not now that Shelley's dead.
01:11:20I can't extract adrenaline from a corpse.
01:11:23I need a working adrenal gland.
01:11:26I suppose we're going to need a new volunteer.
01:11:29No.
01:11:29No, I won't do it.
01:11:30I don't care if you blackmail me.
01:11:32Well, if you don't do it, then your little maid here is going to get a little bully in the
01:11:37back of her little head.
01:11:43There's a chair.
01:11:45Now, tie her up nice and tight.
01:11:52I'm so sorry, Nancy.
01:11:54Don't worry, Archie.
01:11:56I'm not scared.
01:11:59You say you're not scared, man?
01:12:01Well, that just won't do, will it?
01:12:03That won't get the old adrenaline pumping.
01:12:07But, luckily, I've got something that will help us along with her.
01:12:13Now, it's too dangerous.
01:12:16It works, doesn't it?
01:12:17You said so yourself.
01:12:19A little bit of this on the skin will soon get those commands working overtime.
01:12:22Listen, use me instead.
01:12:23Put it on me.
01:12:24Use my adrenaline.
01:12:24That's very commendable, that Archie, but...
01:12:28I'm just going to extract it.
01:12:32Get out of the way.
01:12:34Just a little bit, Nancy.
01:12:36We don't want you having heart attack before we're ready, now, do we?
01:12:44Listen, Nancy.
01:12:46Whatever you see, just remember, it isn't real.
01:12:48Haven't you got work to do?
01:12:53Jesus!
01:12:58What are you doing?
01:12:59What's that?
01:12:59An anatomy book.
01:13:01I've never done this on a human before.
01:13:03I need to get the location of the adrenal gland exactly right.
01:13:14God, it's starting.
01:13:21Come over here and help me, damn it!
01:13:24Hold her still!
01:13:24Oh, my God!
01:13:46It's OK.
01:13:48It's OK.
01:13:49It's OK.
01:13:54Ah!
01:14:22It didn't work.
01:14:27What?
01:14:30It didn't work, Everett.
01:14:34There was only ever a small chance.
01:14:40A small chance?
01:14:47A small chance!
01:14:50This was life or death for me, Archie.
01:14:53And you knew that.
01:14:58You brand old shoe all the same.
01:15:01Always treated me like dirt on the bottom of your shoe.
01:15:05Denied me of my inheritance.
01:15:10Now, you've utterly ruined me.
01:15:15What are you looking at?
01:15:25I tried to tell you, Everett. She's a killer. A murderer.
01:15:30They didn't mummify her because she died. She was buried alive.
01:15:48I'm alive.
01:15:51No.
01:15:56No!
01:16:11No!
01:16:15Boo!
01:16:18No!
01:16:27There is one item, so dangerous, it must never see the light of day.
01:16:35The sarcophagus of Konepta.
01:17:06It's a shame to have to say goodbye to the old place.
01:17:11We've no choice, Archie. Not since they printed that news story.
01:17:15I love you, Nancy. And I don't care who knows.
01:17:20It's easy for you to say. I'd rather not have people pointing and whispering every time I go into town
01:17:25to get groceries.
01:17:26You would have had to have moved sooner or later. I can't keep a house like this, not on a
01:17:31doctor's salary.
01:17:33What did you do with it, in the end?
01:17:37It was what?
01:17:38You know what. That... thing?
01:17:44Exactly as Uncle Felix requested. I've moved it back down to the basement, and there's a group of builders coming
01:17:50this afternoon to seal it with brick.
01:17:55I don't think I'll ever fully get over it. What I saw that night.
01:18:01You will, Nancy, when we're far away from there.
01:18:06I hear the houses in Coventry are cheap, and there's an urgent shortage of doctors.
01:18:12Best of all, they've never even heard of a Randolph.
01:18:24What's that?
01:18:25Front door key for the builders.
01:18:26Who are they?
01:18:29They're... some company in town.
01:18:33Sykes or something.
01:18:56Well, well.
01:18:58Looks like poor old Everett was being honest after all.
01:19:02Christ, it's even bigger than I imagined.
01:19:07Nommi.
01:19:08That's as a hammer.
01:19:13Here we go, lads.
01:19:24Let's go, lads.
01:19:26Let's go, lads.
01:19:30Let's go, lads.
01:19:30Here we go.
01:19:39No!
01:20:16Grazie a tutti.
01:20:47Grazie a tutti.
01:21:11Grazie a tutti.
01:21:56Grazie a tutti.
01:22:14Grazie a tutti.
01:22:56Grazie a tutti.
01:23:14Grazie a tutti.
01:23:54Grazie a tutti.
01:24:18Grazie a tutti.
01:24:56Grazie a tutti.
01:24:59Grazie a tutti.
