Your policies do not
have Egypt's best interests

at heart, Anwar.

They are the government's
policies, Selim.

I'm just one of many
who believe they're right.

Right?!

Right for what?

To blend Egypt into a community
of lesser nations?

To destroy a greatness born

thousands of years
before Christ?

Your position as
Curator of the Ancients Museum

is influential, Selim...

but it does not allow you to
dictate policy to me.

And you may surround yourself
with antiquities, but the days

of the pharaohs are dead...

and you must live
in the 20th century.

Very well, Anwar...

if that is your final word...

But know this...
the pharaohs are not dead.

They are only sleeping.

It is you... who are dead.

(footsteps thudding, dragging)

(footsteps approaching)

Who's there?

No! No!

No!

No! It can't be!

No! Go away!

Aah!

(screaming, gasping)

(theme music playing)

I guess we'll
never know how these

magnificent creatures
disappeared.

They roamed the earth for more
than 200 million years.

PHELPS:
Some scientists believe

a giant meteor was the reason
for their demise.

Maybe.

Why don't you take
a look over there

if you want
to get better informed.

(dinosaurs screeching)

(blipping)

(beeping)

MALE VOICE:
Good afternoon, Jim.

In the last several months,
a number of high officials

in the Egyptian Government
have died horrible deaths

by strangulation.

The latest to die
was Anwar Farthay.

His behind-the-scenes
power-brokering helped put Egypt

on the road to a new level of
negotiation with Israel

and several radical Arab states.

We believe that this man,
Horus Selim,

is somehow connected
to the deaths.

The director of the prestigious
Museum of the Ancients,

he has used his high-profile job
to create antipathy toward

government policies and believes
Egypt should return

to the greatness of its past...

a past he oversees
at his museum.

Your mission, Jim,

should you decide to accept it,
is to determine Selim's guilt

and put a stop to the killings
before they unbalance

the U.S. Peace effort
presently underway

to calm
the volatile Middle East.

As always, should you
or any of your IM Force

be caught or killed,
the Secretary will disavow

any knowledge of your actions.

This disc will self-destruct
in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

(beeping)

(rapid beeping)

-Hi.
-Hi.

Looks good.

-Well, we've set up in the tomb.
-Uh-huh.

Horus Selim.

Expert in Egyptology
and an ardent nationalist.

If he's behind the murders,
he's going to be tough to nail.

Okay, let's say this is the
guy... what's our first move?

The man standing next to Selim
is named Karnak.

He's the right-hand man
at the museum.

And possibly does Selim's
dirty work.

Yes.

So a little dividing there
may help us conquer.

Max, how soon
can the tomb be ready?

Well, with a little help
from my friends...

no more than a day.

Uh-huh.

Now, since this site has been

excavated over the past year,

we're gonna have to make Selim
believe we've found something

that's been overlooked.

Shannon, are you ready?

Selim's obsession
with the past is fanatical.

In particular,
he has a preoccupation

with the Ancient God Seth.

I think we can use that
to begin with.

Okay.

Then it's time to find out
exactly what we're dealing with.

(screaming)

And that's how Old Hollywood
saw Ancient Egypt.

Now, if you'll follow me,

I'll show you a real mummy.

Are they called?

Yes, Master.

For tonight.

What is troubling you?

The last killing
has caused a great stir.

I do not wish to wear the vest
and wrappings again.

You will not have to, Karnak.

The Day of Seth
will soon be at hand.

The cord.

That is all, Karnak.

Karnak Zabkar?

Who is asking?

Fahd.

National Security Police.

I have some questions
I want to ask you.

About what?

About your work at the museum.

And your employer...
Dr. Selim.

He is a great man.

That is all you need to know.

A great man, yes.

All I need to know? No.

I think he may be

involved in some recent
political murders.

What do you think about that?

I am a humble servant
of the museum.

If you have questions of
Dr. Selim, ask them of him.

I will. In time.

I thought maybe you'd like
to be helpful.

Perhaps to protect yourself?

I have done nothing.

I see.

Then there is no reason
for me to detain you

any further, is there?

Jim?

Yeah, Nicholas?

NICHOLAS: Karnak just had a
run-in with the secret police.

How'd it go?

I think I made an impression.

Okay. Come on in.

I wouldn't use
those things in here.

Would our communicator
cause that?

Yeah.

All objects have their own

natural frequencies,
at which they can be disrupted.

A wine glass being shattered
by a singer, for example.

Our communicators operate
on a subsonic frequency,

which is obviously
unsettling to this stone.

And the faint signal
is because of the stone,

the fact we're underground?

Yeah, if that door were closed,
they'd be useless.

PHELPS:
Uh-huh.

Tell me about Seth.

Let me show you what I've got.

(mumbling indistinctly)

Dr. Selim.

Jennifer Dobson...

I'm a graduate student

working on a dig outside
of Giza with my father.

Perhaps you've heard of him.

Professor Matthew Dobson?

I'm afraid not.

Well, anyway,
it's all very exciting.

Father thinks that we're
on the verge of a major find.

I wish you and your father
good luck.

Now, if you will excuse me...

What a coincidence... standing
in front of the God Seth.

His image keeps appearing

on the scroll that Father's
working from.

What scroll is this?

It was given to him by the widow
of an English aristocrat.

It seems that she found it in
their attic among antiquities.

Her husband was a journeyman
archaeologist in the late '20s.

The scroll of Seth.

What?

Nothing... nothing, my dear.

I would be most interested
in meeting your father

and viewing his work.

Perhaps, we can
arrange a time tomorrow?

We would be honored.

"Seth:
God of Darkness and Evil.

Murderer of the God Osiris."

Now, the original cult
of religious assassins

dates back to the middle of the
fourth millennium B.C.

Most of his images were
destroyed during the Crusades.

What's he supposed to be?

Canine. Antelope.

Donkey, dragon.

-Take your pick.
-How 'bout the scroll?

The scroll of Thoth.

Now, it's believed that this
tells how Isis raised Osiris

from the dead after his murder
at the hands of Seth.

Now, we can use this as a guide
to make our own scroll...

on this ancient piece
of papyrus.

So we forge the scroll
right on here?

Yeah. And just lay it
onto the laser printer...

make a few alterations
from Thoth

on the computer...

and we'll have a scroll that
should really whet

Selim's appetite.

Master, he was saying that
you were responsible

for the murders.

That I should protect myself.

You would not betray me,
would you, Karnak?

The Sands of Seth
are unforgivable.

Never, Master. No.

But what should we do?

Nothing.

The Day of Seth is almost here.

Then there will be
no secret police.

MAN:
I've done nothing.

Please, let me go!

What do you want?

Don't hurt me!

Please...

(whimpers)

Why are you doing this?

Please!

I've done nothing!

-(gong sounds)
-Let me go.

MEN (chanting):
Seth, Seth...

(man shouting)

Seth, Seth, Seth...

(gong sounds, chanting stops)

Soon, Ancient Egypt

will be Egypt once again.

For Seth, you will kill,

and for killing,
you will be rewarded

in the new order.

The full moon tells us
to rid ourselves

of another politician.

Seth has been his judge,

and we are his executioner.

MAN (chanting):
Kill! Kill!

MAN:
No!

-Kill! Kill!
-(gasping and gagging)

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

-Kill!
-(gong chimes)

SELIM:
We kill for the love of Seth!

We kill for the love of killing!

Kill!

-CROWD: Kill!
-Kill!

-Kill!
-Kill!

-Kill! - Kill!

-Kill!
-Kill!

-Kill! - Kill!

SELIM:
The scroll of Seth!

I never thought
I would look upon it!

As you know, Doctor,

method is everything
in archaeology.

It's tiresome
and time-consuming and boring,

but this is why we do it.

We must take this
to the museum immediately.

Father thinks we're
about to uncover the tomb

to the High Priest of the Cult.

Yes, and this doesn't leave
my sight until we do.

Now, look,
these symbols indicate

this area of the valley

was the original center
of the Cult.

So, of course,
the tomb of the High Priest

can very well be nearby.

Maybe, but the writings
become obscured here...

Oh, excuse me, Professor.

(panting):
We need a rest.

It's too hot.

It's too hot?

Listen, you get back to work.

If I'd known
you were this useless,

I wouldn't have done your father
the favor of taking you on.

Well, maybe I should just quit,

like the others

you've driven off
with your crazy quest.

Well, that's fine;
then you can tell your father

that's something else
you couldn't finish.

Oh...

Sam...

SHANNON:
Please, we can talk about it...

MAX:
I don't want to talk about it.

He treats me like dirt.

As I was saying,

the last part of the scroll
has become faded

beyond the ability
of the naked eye to read it.

You must let me take this back
to the museum

where we can
examine it properly.

No, it stays here.

Very well.

But you must keep us posted
on your progress.

Perhaps, coffee tomorrow

if you're in the city?

Of course. Of course.

Jennifer'll drive you back now.

Remember.

Ancient Egypt belongs to Egypt.

(beeping)

(beeping)

GRANT:
Ancient weaponry.

All pretty normal... axe,

dagger, scimitar.

All except that one.

A setant...

strangulation cord.

Fourth millennium B.C.

Peculiar to the Cult of Seth

as a means of execution.

Seth and Selim...
they do seem to go together.

Anything on the stone slabs?

GRANT:
No, nothing yet.

It'll take the computer
a little time to decipher them.

GRANT: It's interesting,
they're on rollers.

I'll let you know.

Always an honor, Dr. Selim.

Thank you, Serapis.

I did not want to cause

a problem in front
of your daughter yesterday,

so here I will be direct
with you.

I want that scroll.

As I've told you before,
the scroll stays with me

until I find the tomb
of the High Priest of the Cult.

What can a second-rate
archaeologist

like you know of that scroll

or what it means for Egypt?!

You came by it by accident.

Doctor, your attitude
is very unfriendly

and I would say unjustified.

If you want that
scroll for your museum,

I suggest you be
a little more supportive.

(laughs)
My apologies, Professor.

The Cult of Seth has been my...

obsession for some time.

He was the greatest
of the gods of Egypt.

But he was a god of evil
and darkness.

It's all a matter
of interpretation, Professor.

Evil is evil, no matter what
color you paint it, Doctor.

I put the rest of the equipment
in the Jeep, Father.

You're still here, I see.

Yeah. Does it bother you?

Frankly, yes.

Good.

Would you two stop it?

I talked Sam into staying.

I think that he should.

Don't you think it's so
wonderful what we found, Doctor?

I am not sure, Miss Dobson.

I'm at a loss to know
what you're talking about.

Well, I haven't had
a chance to tell you.

We found the entrance
to a tunnel

at the base of the dig.

That's what the equipment's for.

We're going back
to open it up now.

Good day, Doctor.

Master.

Look.

The secret policeman.

GRANT: These scriptures
are for ceremonies

performed in the name of Seth.

Some for burials,
some for worship,

and some for executions.

The reason they're on rollers

side by side is that it allows
the various scriptures

different readings
at particular times of year.

Now, this is from the
fourth millennium B.C.,

but it's just as valid today.

Because the time of year
is based on the movement

of the sun and the moon...

particularly the waning
and waxing of the moon.

Now, watch this.

GRANT: This scripture preaches
execution by strangulation,

and the position of the moon
in this configuration jumps

from full moon, to new moon, to
third quarter, to first quarter.

Four positions.

And four murders.

Over two months.

Have you checked this
against the dates

of the murders
of the politicians?

GRANT:
You bet,

and they're right on.

This Full Moon passed
last night.

Which means the fifth murder's
already been committed.

-Yeah. - GRANT: And if I'm
reading this right,

there are a lot
more executions to come.

I'm gonna lay
a high-frequency emulsion

on the faded part
of the scroll here.

So that, uh,
if we need Selim to feel

that he's done Seth wrong,
he will.

Max, remember to call us
when you know

-they're on the way.
-Right.

So there's no doubt
Selim is our man,

I think it's time we shifted
into fifth gear.

You wanted to see me, sir?

I know that
Dr. Selim comes here.

I want you to set up a meeting.

I'm a humble cafe owner, sir.

Dr. Selim does not
do my bidding.

Just tell him it's
about a scroll.

He'll come.

PHELPS:
Yeah.

This will give them
something to think about.

SHANNON:
And Anubis will lend credibility

to our find.

I'll finish it
when we close it up.

I better start getting set up
in the ruins over the hill.

You're all set, Nicholas.

Ah, thanks, Grant.

So, we're almost finished?

And Max ought to be making
contact right about now.

(grunts and groans)

Okay, okay.

MAX:
I don't know why

I was treated this way! I said
I just wanted to meet with you.

Karnak!

(grunts)

Finally, the power
of the High Priest is mine.

With this, I cannot fail.

As the scroll of Thoth
raised Osiris from the dead,

so shall this scroll
make me all powerful.

But why bring it to me?

Because I hate the professor,

and Jennifer told me how hard
you pressed to have it.

I'll admit I'm after money,
but I haven't wasted my life.

I've studied the Ancients,

and I know the power
behind the god.

And what do you
really know of him?

You, a product
of Western civilization?

Karnak.

I know that the execution of
the unfaithful has been called,

and that more will die

because the god
is righteous in his anger.

You know a great deal.

But tell me of the tomb
of the High Priest.

Has it really been found?

We opened a tunnel door
and found an antechamber.

The tomb itself remains sealed

because...
the professor is worried

about a... curse.

And well he should.

Karnak.

You will wear the wrappings
one more time.

The professor and his daughter
are still in our way.

Yes, Master.

(heavy breathing)

(screams)

(shrieks)

(grunts and groans)

It's what he deserves, Jennifer.

You scum! How could you do it?

Silence!

(cries out)

The curse of the High Priest.

Anubis.

The seal of the Seven Jackals.

No one has entered here
for 4,000 years.

Go ahead. Open it.

The curse will be your undoing.

Oh, I will open it, my dear.

But the tomb will not be
my death, it will be yours.

Because after we have
taken what belongs to Egypt,

you and your father will be
sealed in it...

forever.

(panting)

We will take the High Priest

and antiquities to the museum.

Master, the curse...
What does it say?

It says the dead will walk again

to inflict
eternal punishment on those

-who defile the tomb.
-Leave her!

(grunts)

You just can't leave them
in here to die.

And why not?

You may gain
more than mere money

if you are worthy
of the new order,

or you may join them.

Choose.

Seal it!

SHANNON:
No!

I thought so!

SHANNON (muffled):
Help! No!

No!

Don't leave me here!

(beeping)

(grunting)

The High Priest of Seth.

You shouldn't have shut
the professor and his daughter

in that tomb.

The Master does as he pleases.

But if the curse has any truth,

we will all suffer.

(clatters)

Be more careful.

Those pieces should be treated
with the respect they deserve.

I admire your respect
for the ancient.

Karnak,
you will start cataloguing them.

Mr. Lake, you will come with me.

(groans)

Oh, what happened?

We've been sealed in here.

Max is with them.

(Phelps gasps)

Are you all right?

(grunts, sighs)

Yes, I'll be okay.

Max didn't warn us.

I tried to get Grant on the
communicator, but no response.

No, these stones are too thick
and too far underground

for a signal to get through.

Or for air to get in.

(Shannon groans)

These are the leaders
of modern-day Egypt.

Politicians,
businessmen, influence peddlers.

All powerful,

but weak when compared to
the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.

But the Pharaohs were gods,

and the world is different now.

Only men like these
make it different.

They care nothing for Egypt.

Her greatness lies in the past,

not in so-called negotiations
with lesser states.

Their deaths will usher
in the new order.

You would kill all these men?

Why?

To throw the government
into chaos.

To foment revolution.

To give birth to a new Egypt

who draws on her past to make
her great once again!

With you as president?

As Pharaoh.

And Seth's followers as my army.

And you could become part of it.

If you are willing to follow.

If you are willing to kill.

If you plan to throw
the government into chaos,

then you'll have to
kill those men

whose photos are in your office

all at once.

Very perceptive.

And that is exactly what
you may be a part of tomorrow.

If your initiation is true.

Blindfold him.

We will take him to the temple.

Karnak, finish your work here
and then follow.

Serapis will come to help
with the sarcophagus.

Yes, Master.

Two hours.

(Shannon sighs)

Grant's got to be back soon.

(sighs)

Come and sit down, Shannon.

You'll just eat up the air
faster that way.

? ?

(yells)

(pants)

(grunts)

Grant.

Yeah, Nicholas?

I just laid out Karnak,
but I overhead Max say

that Jim and Shannon
are trapped in the tomb.

I'm on my way.

(panting)

Grant.

Shannon.

(Shannon gasps)

Are you gonna be all right?

Yes.

Nicholas has Karnak.

All right, you go on.

Without moving on him,
we can't help Max.

MAX:
Where are we?

A temple, buried by the sands
of the desert,

lost in the sands of time.

A place where
all other gods were forgotten,

and one reigned supreme.

Your life is about to change
forever, Mr. Lake.

They are called for tonight.

Robe him for the ceremony.

(Selim chanting)

Nicholas?

Max said there were pictures of
Selim's targets in his office.

I have not been able
to find them yet.

We don't have much time.

Now, Selim said
the mass killings

are going to
take place tomorrow.

So where's Max now?

Well, Selim took him
to some temple.

Maybe this guy
can lead us there.

Once I work my mystical ways.

I think it's best if I stay here
and look for those pictures.

Oh, Amon Ra.

Oh, god of gods.

The tomb has been defiled,
and eternal punishment

falls on this man,
Karnak, and others.

In the name of Seth they kill...

but it is not your will.

(gasps)

The Nubian... the ancient blood.

The pool is troubled.

One can see the past
and the present

in the ripples of the water.

Look into the pool and see how
to save your immortal soul.

The mummy's ring!

The ancient world...

the world of Seth.

The killings
in his name were many,

and the High Priest was
finally caught and buried alive.

The slaves and soldiers
were murdered,

so that no man could tell
of the tomb's existence.

But now... the Jackal's seal
has been broken.

And the killing must stop,

as they had to stop in the past.

Seth cannot be served,

and the mass killings
must be stopped.

That is the only way
to save your soul.

Go now!

Jim, you got him?

Yep, we've got him.

-Jim.
-Go, Nicholas.

I just found Selim's hit list.

A screen full of pictures.

Good. Find the source
and bring it back here.

We're going after Karnak.

(door opens)

(grunts)

Bring him!

The Sands of Seth will make sure

he never speaks of
what he has seen.

-This is crazy.
-What is it?

(beeping)

Karnak should be right here.

We cannot serve Seth
as instruments of death.

To save our souls,
we must disband,

and never look on
Seth's image again!

Karnak!

(crowd clamoring)

(whispering):
What do you think you are doing?

Master... I have seen
the High Priest walk.

I have looked
deep into the pool.

Seth does not want the killings!

You speak nonsense!

I have the scroll.
It is written!

You betray me.

No, Master, no!

It is the truth.

You know I would die for you.

And you will!

(gagging)

The device says Karnak
is right here.

There are no ruins
or temples anywhere.

Jim!

-(gasps)
-Shannon!

Looks like this is our way in.

(gong sounds)

A traitor is dead.

We move on...

to ancient Egypt.

Prepare for the ceremony.

All right, so where are we?

Ah, a chamber in the temple.

But where? You got me.

SHANNON:
Look, over here.

It's the temple, all right.

Take a look at this.

I'm going down.

Be careful.

We'll wait for your call.

Let me go!

You're all crazy!

Why do you follow this madman?

-Jim.
-This is crazy!

NICHOLAS (distantly):
What's wrong with you people?

They've got Nicholas.

NICHOLAS:
Let me go!

(gong sounds)

CROWD (chanting):
Seth...

Seth... Seth...

Seth... Seth... Seth...

Seth... Seth...

Seth...

So...

we have the Egyptian
Secret Police.

We found him in
your office, Master.

He saw the pictures.

You have done well, Serapis.

You will take the place
of the traitor, Karnak,

at my right hand.

You're insane!

Bring him to the altar.

CROWD (chanting):
Seth... Seth...

Seth...

Seth... Seth...

Seth...

Seth... Seth...

Seth...

Seth... Seth...

-(chanting continues)
-Jim...

Yeah, Grant?

You're in the head of
a huge statue of Seth.

Those holes are his eyes.

We've got to make something
happen fast to save Nicholas.

Right.

We initiate
a new follower tonight,

and Seth has seen fit
to send us his sacrifice.

Mr. Lake...

you will kill this
agent of modern Egypt.

CROWD (chanting):
Seth... Seth...

Got an idea.

Go.

This whole place
has the full weight

of the desert on top of it.

If I set my communicator
at the right frequency,

I can make this
sucker rock and roll.

All right. Good.

Now, listen, I've been
looking at this wall.

Grant, I think it's a reflector.

I think this whole chamber was
built to reflect the sun's rays

down through the eyes
onto the altar.

Something that hasn't happened
since the temple was buried.

How long before sunrise?

It's getting light already.

It can't be more than
maybe ten minutes.

Maybe we can make Seth
the giver of life,

instead of its taker.

Okay.

I think we've got
some polishing to do.

Kill him!

CROWD (chanting):
Kill... kill...

(frequency whines)

Kill... kill... Kill... kill...

Kill... kill...

Make it look good, buddy.

Kill... kill... Kill... kill...

(gasps)

Kill... kill... Kill... kill...

Kill... kill...

(shouting)

(shouting stops)

A new servant of Seth is born.

You will throw him into the pit

while I intone
the ancient scroll.

Oh, Seth...

god of gods...

thy name is death,
thy world is darkness.

We live to serve,

and in serving we kill.

(shouting)

The curse!

(whirring)

(cultists exclaiming)

Get up, buddy.

(shouting)

Seth is not the taker of life.

You see, he gives it!

Selim is the evil one.

Karnak spoke the truth.

Selim is the murderer
of the people!

Take him!

(clamoring)

No, no...

No!

I command you...

in the name of Seth!

(screams)

Seth...

Ancient Egypt...
must be... great once again.

I am Pharaoh! I am Pharaoh!

Seth... Seth...

(wailing)

(rapid beeping)

(rumbling)

(clamoring)

? ?

Present-day evil
has joined ancient evil.

Both of them lost
in the sands of time.

(theme music playing)
