(Man) See you tonight?

- I'll call you later, yes?
- Okay.

You could at least
introduce him.

Well, it's too early for that.
Let's take our time.

What does your father think of him?

He must have hired a KGB agent,

to find out more about him.

At least he leaves
his hints about Verlay.

- Yes, exactly. Verlay has his colleague and I have my professor.

And, have you told Verlay

- No.

What's the giggle?

- I didn't giggle.
- Yes you did.

Am I giggling because you
use your job to hit on women?

No, that's not how it is.

It's just a girl that asked me

an Egyptian antique to date.

She sent me a photo.

And you meet her right here.
Do you have a picture of her too?

It's something to
take a look at, isn't it?

It was Theo. Theo killed me.

She was in cardiac arrest
when the doctor arrived.

He couldn't do anything.
She said "Theo killed me"?

Yes. But can this be triggered?

According to the doctor,
it's possible by poisoning.

We are waiting for
the toxicological report.

Um, is that thing worth anything?

If this really is an
Egyptian antique,

it can be worth thousands of euros.

Ah yes, after all.
Is there anything in there?

I don't know yet.
We can't open it.

- Apparently it has a fuse.
- Good, then investigate.

Yes, Greg, there's a suspicion of murder.

Please check a certain
Nadia Angela Mageba,

born '92 in Ivry.

And call in her parents.

(woman) About the
box she never told.

She was never
interested in Egypt either.

(man) How did she die?

We have found alkaloids
in the bronchi and the nose.

Alka... What?

(pardo) These are hallucinogens
like found in certain drugs.

Has your daughter taken
such substances before?

No. Never.

She didn't even smoke.

- And this Theo was her boyfriend?
- (Father) Yes.

- We barely knew him. She
never really introduced him to us.

- But he was the guy for it. If she takes what, it's because of him.

Do you really think
that it was murder?

Given the amount and
the toxicity of the substance

the doctors
preclude an accident.

This Theo. He poisoned her.

Do you have a name or address?

(Father) No.

But Nadia left us his number.

Yes.

Yes and? is she real

(Hugo) "At first sight, yes."

"Waiting for
radiocarbon dating."

could you open them

Not yet. But I X-rayed her.

There's a cavity in
there, like it was crafted,

to protect a valuable object.

"Can you send me a photo?"

Yes, of course.

Oh, by the way, your father was here.

"He's been looking for you everywhere."

You didn't tell him where I am?

- "No."
- You will pay, traitor.

- Cuckoo!
- You're making fun of me.

- Why?
- It's official:

- To you I don't exist anymore.
- (groans) Dad.

Is that because of Sylvain?

He didn't even pass with honors.

I don't know what's
going on with Sylvain...

"Courtly Literature of
Desire 12th Century."

This is a topic to pick up
on young female students.

Wasn't there anything
better than a troubadour?

Is there a problem here?

No, my daughter
frolics with a troubadour

and forgets her father.

- Bullshit.
- It's good.

Apparently she's visiting
you at least yet. You're in luck.

(clears throat) Want
your family troubles

don't you prefer to solve somewhere else?

Yes, that's exactly what
I tried to explain to him...

Antoine, the lab was able
to analyze the alkaloids.

Bonjour. - Bonjour.

They are made up of
mandrake extract and blue lotus.

- Blue lotus like in the comic?
- Yes.

And do you take it like a drug?

(Greg) Must be a
powerful hallucinogen.

Yes, in ancient times the
Egyptians breathed such fumes

during religious festivals.

And what does do the
inscriptions on the box mean?

I have contacted Egyptology.

- Ask Nathalie.
- Who?

Nathalie Vallon. She is
the best Egyptologist I know.

I could ask her she
was a student of my wife.

She leads a respectable life.
She can be trusted.

- Antoine, would you come?
- Yes.

My apologies.

Then I have to go back.

Theo Grignon, 32 years old.

He lives in Paris, is
neither at home nor at work.

He is untraceable.

Why would he let the little
one sniff something like that?

One doesn't kill
because of an old box.

According to Hugo, the box came
from a shop selling Egyptian decorations.

And I think Theo
Grignon bought them.

Oh yes? And why?

Because he runs a
business that organizes this.

It opens next week.

It needed probably
Egyptian decoration.

An escape game? Don't they
lock you in there to solve a riddle?

Yes, exactly. In Marne-la-Vallee.

Okay, I'll send
someone to their house.

Greg looks at the store

and I'll see what he
does with those antiques.

With Florence Chassagne?

Yes, the fresh air will
do her good I think.

- See you later.
- See you then.

This Nathalie Vallon was the
perfect daughter for my dad,

he kept telling me that.

Nathalie here, Nathalie there.

"She wouldn't have done it that way."
Blah blah blah.

After my mother died she
stayed at our house all the time,

like I needed a big sister.

I think she got me
disgusted with Egyptology.

♪ He clears his throat. ♪

Am I boring you?

No. No, no, not at all.

But I can see
that I'm boring you.

You don't bore me.

Just trying to focus
on the investigation.

- Yes, me too. I'm also
focused on the investigation.

"The Curse of Osiris."

Did you know that
my mom is an expert

for which Osiris and
his mysteries was?

Okay, and what are
the Osiris Mysteries?

These are the rituals that
accompany the martyrdom of Osiris.

Of the god Osiris.
Do you know why?

He was dismembered
by his brother.

- Into 14 parts.
- (ironic) Well lovely family.

♪ Calm, mysterious music ♪

Come.

Anyway my father never took it

when a man came near me

And he's surprised that I don't
want to introduce anyone to him.

He probably wouldn't cut
it into 14 pieces right away,

but... sometimes I doubt.

What is?

Is anyone here?

Hello?

Monsieur Grignon?

No, don't close it.
Leave it open.

That's crazy, like a pyramid.

My mother would have liked
to take me to a place like this.

Could you stop talking
about your family all the time?

First the sister, the
father, now the mother.

How about your
troubadour, while you're at it?

His name is Sylvain! I don't
don't know what you all have.

Call it whatever you want.
I don't give a fuck.

But stop mixing
work and personal life.

What's the matter with you all of a sudden?

I didn't get involved
with a co-worker.

But... She left the OCBC.

Well then, watch out,
I can leave you too.

Shit, shit!

Wonderful, They locked us up.

You're kidding me.
I locked us up?

Oh no, that was me.

Do you notice how
you're talking to me?

Well, okay, calm down now.

Do you have signal here?
Check it out.

(sighs) Damn.

Damned. Crap!

It's good.

♪ He sighs. ♪

But I won't wait a week until
it opens again, because...

There is certainly another exit.

That's the point of the game.

I'm not playing
this escape thing.

Do you have another solution?

Come on, let's find the first riddle.

No, you don't understand.
I can't even play cards.

Now listen.
Your mother was an Egyptologist, yes?

I'm sure she told you something.

- No, not at all. If so, then she told Nathalie Vallon.

That's typical again, because that's
exactly that's what I was about to explain.

- (groans) Yes.
- But you're not listening.

Remember how jealous
Florence was of you?

Hm? That is normal.

She wanted her moms for herself.

She was still small.

Looking forward
to seeing you again.

She's not answering, as usual.
- But Pierre, it doesn't matter.

Ah, Hugo, come here.

Introducing Nathalie Vallon.

Which it is a pleasure to
solve our little puzzle for us.

Isn't Florence there?

- No. When she's not with her troubadour,

plays detective
with the captain.

This is Seth.

How now, "see"? "See"? What?

No, not that "Behold",
S-E-T-H, the brother of Osiris,

who chopped it into 14 pieces.

But his wife Isis found all the
pieces and tied them back together.

Hence the principle
of mummification.

I love this story

Okay, and are these a
supposed to be the parts of Osiris?

- That? This could be
his crown, the Pschent.

We'll do like Osiris' wife and
put the pieces back together.

- Okay.
- Good. Search.

Also there in the amphora.
I have one.

Go ahead, search.
Keep searching.

It is from the Ptolemaic period.

It says, "in honor
of Ptolemy II.".

This summons the power of Osiris.
- The god of the dead.

But he embodies also the
principle of reincarnation.

He awoke in the world of the dead and made it his domain.

(Nathalie) This is extraordinary.

There I have it, 14.14 parts.

- Here, quick.
- Yes, right away.

There.

All right, now press hard.

Have a look.

An Isis statue.

Great.

And what should
we do with him now?

♪ Beep ♪

Put them back down.

Unbelievable.

Okay. Under the pedestal is
a system that activates a trap.

We're replacing the statue
with something just as heavy.

If only I knew how
much it weighs. OK.

Let's try that.

If that works, I'm really good.

One two three.

This is fascinating.
Where did you get this?

It's not in the
Osiris Mysteries.

No, that's from "Indiana Jones".

- The...
(imitates whip)
- But, yes, "Indiana Jones"!

What are we supposed
to do now with it?

I know it.

There, the goddess Isis, see?

It's okay if you want.

"The statue is cursed.

Who opens the box

damn his soul
to suffer forever."

You shouldn't have
opened the box.

I hope you don't
believe in curses.

No, but of the poison
of the Blue Lotus,

that could move in
for 2000 years long.

These were inhaled
when the box was opened.

It is indeed possible.

They would have
been at the statue.

That should be the burial chamber.

We must first find the mummy.

There you see it has

I'll open it.

"In the mummy, where
the conscience rests."

How now, in the mummy?

Do you want me to
unwrap all the bandages?

The Egyptians
thought that conscience

and the dead man's
memory were in his heart,

and the priests removed
never that organ, never.

Okay, so I'll check his heart?

Yes. My head is spinning.

It's disgusting, these idiots
with their stupid shit game.

And?

OK, what do I do with this?

Over there.

OK, it worked.

Okay. We have to get out of

So yes, get out, get out, get out.

Negative. Everything's ok.

♪ Verlay clears his throat. ♪

Commander? Can you come please?

Nathalie Vallon.

Dad, really!

Listen to her before you
start talking nonsense.

A very pretty
Granite Osiris statue.

Definitely late period.
It is certainly from a Naos.

- What is a Naos?
- (the women) A niche...

Please, Florence, continue.

This is a stone niche
inside the temple.

There stood the statue of the
god who was being celebrated.

- Exactly. You can see
them by the way in room 324,

if you want to.

I don't have much time
right now, so that should...

Captain, like, Verlay, right?

Something like that can fetch
between 10,000 and 20,000 euros,

which might arouse the
desires of a black marketeer.

- There you have it.
- (on phone) Yes, Greg?

He doesn't act like someone
who would kill for money.

He's completely scared.

Oh, because now
you can read minds?

The myth of Isis and
Osiris still attracts weirdos,

who believe in Egyptian magic.

And so this gentleman is
afraid of the curse of Osiris, yes?

I did not say that. Nathalie?

There is a curse
written on the box.

- I didn't make that up.
- No, absolutely.

But you also know how
many reports I've done,

and no bootlegger
ever believed in curses.

- Exactly. No, she just has too much imagination.

Remember Christiane always said

that Florence reads too
many adventure novels.

- Could you keep Maman out of here?
- What...?

- Floflo?
- It's okay.

- You'll find them...
- Let's go now.

- What's up?
- We're going!

She hasn't changed at all.

Do not be so strict.

She might be worse than before.

Captain?

Sorry, I shouldn't get so upset.

Listen, we're not
starting again, okay?

Black marketeer or not,
we have to catch him.

- Yes, of course.
- Good.

You're right.

So, Greg was in the shop

where Theo Grignon
bought the box, right?

Yes, and two hours
later he showed up

and asked for the box.

The surveillance footage
should have his car on it.

Greg is trying to find
out the license plate.

How did the seller get the box?

She came four days from Egypt

in a box full of
plastic pyramids.

What? But how is that possible?

The seller doesn't know.
Now it's customs' turn.

♪ Beat ♪

am I disturbing you?

- Um, no. No, not at all.
- We were already done.

How's the day going?
Everything fine?

Uh, yeah, it was just a little...

Hectic. It was hectic.

- Okay, and why?
- I'll tell you later.

OK. Are you doing well?

Yes, of course I care

because now I know it's over.

Or rather, that it
will never begin.

You have to process
that first, don't you?

Maybe yes.

And Captain Verlay?

He never knew
anything, never noticed.

Honestly, I wonder

how I ever fell
in love with him.

- And with Sylvain, how's it going?
- Very good. Really.

I feel good with him

You feel good but
do you want him too?

Desire him?

But of course I want him.

What does everyone
have against Sylvain?

I'm happy with Sylvain.
At least he loves me.

- "At least".
- Yes.

Do you want to repeat
everything what I'm saying?

♪ Calm, depressed music ♪

(pardo) The lease of the
car is on Serge Baudry,

the escape game guy who is
suspected of being a bootlegger.

We cracked his email.

Someone hired him to steal,

to bring the statue to France.

Did he also hide them
between plastic pyramids?

Yes. To avoid controls.

But when he arrived, Theo
Grignon had already bought the box.

Whoa, shit.

Yes, Greg? Send the forensic
guys over here. Immediately.

In his last SMS
the client threatens

Kill Baudry if he
doesn't find the statue.

Okay, but why did
he burn it right away?

This corresponds to
a religious sacrifice,

to banish the enemies of
Osiris, for they represent evil.

He massacres people
to keep evil away?

- What madness!
- This isn't madness.

I'm afraid I have to
confirm that this is a ban.

"That anger be against
you to blot out your flesh."

Human sacrifices were committed in the
third century in the city of Heliopolis,

until Pharaoh Amasis
decided to forbid them.

So the client believes
in this nonsense?

I think so.

We really need to stop him
before he "bans" anyone else.

You see Florence,
you were right.

This is about more
than black market.

Hm?

If the client
performed the sacrifice

then he is afraid, afraid
of the arrival of evil forces.

He wanted to steal the box
but didn't necessarily open it.

You think for him the
statue itself brings forth evil?

Osiris is the benevolent
god par excellence.

Yes, but...
maybe he was misguided.

- Some sort of antichrist. And that's why he was locked in the box.

Well, that doesn't go with
anything from what I know about it.

The exact dating
will tell us more.

I have to go.
Let me know if you hear anything.

- Nathalie?
- Yes?

I want to apologize for
yesterday that was wrong.

- Sorry.
- Oh no, no.

It's nothing. Forget it.

You know, every time
you talk to dad about mom,

I realize that you knew
her better than I did.

And then I'm mad at you.

How stupid.

No, no, no. Come here Florence.

Do you know...

your mother loved you.

More than anything else.

When I came to you, you
were always on her lap.

She told you how Champollion
translated the hieroglyphs.

Do you remember that

(choked in tears) No.

Don't worry, it's okay.

And as for your father

don't take everything
personally that he says.

- No, really, that's the way he is.
- Yes, I know.

And only you can know if you
are with the right person. Only you.

When I met my husband, I
knew straight away that it was him.

We have loved each other for 25 years.

That outshines everything.

A lot has changed here.

It's been a long time
that we've talked.

Over 20 years?

Approximately, yes.

You were an idol to my mother.

Jean-Francois Champollion,
the father of all Egyptologists.

You talked a lot about her.

And you've often asked how
it was for me to lose mine.

This Naos.
I oversaw its installation.

The famous D29.

Maman always thought she
was wrong about his origins.

I wasn't very good at spelling.

Bonjour, Capitaine Verlay,
Criminal Investigation Department.

Everyone is welcome
at the house of Osiris.

Thanks very much.

I was summoned by
Osiris, the perfect ruler.

I became his servant
and a guide to all

that yearns to follow
his eternal light.

- Mmmm. And Serge Baudry, does he also follow his eternal light?

Listen, this story is very
unfortunate, but I repeat:

I was the victim of
this gentleman's lies.

Why are you
mentioning him again?

- Well, maybe because he's dead?
- My god, what happened?

He was burned in the
throat with a dagger last night.

Can you think of anything?

They took away this
unfortunate hope of eternal life.

- How awful.
- Mmm.

We think it was the client
for stealing this statue.

A statue of osiris,

that you normally put
in a Naos like this one.

Wait, you're accusing
me of killing him?

No, no, we're not
accusing you of anything.

We're just trying to understand.

You don't happen to be
missing a dagger like this?

You've got some of these.
Are you missing one?

I have nothing to
do with this story.

I gave a lecture on
Osirism last night.

- You can check that.
- Yes, we will.

And then we will check

whether our statue
not miraculously

suits your Naos.

That's fascinating.

They both complement
each other almost completely.

Yes, two kindred spirits.

They combine something very strong.

- That's bullshit.
- No.

Nothing resists the
vibrations of the subconscious.

Astral love always
finds its way.

Thank you, Monsieur
Jaumard, let's go now.

- Would you like me to accompany you?
- No, that's fine, thank you.

Come? Thanks.

(whispers) He's
completely deranged.

- Completely, yes.
- Are you coming? Forward.

(to himself) Fascinating.

Well, I got this three times...
Hello?

Oh sorry.

I checked it three
times the box was

made around 300 BC, the
statue however around 600.

Then it wasn't locked in
the box until 300 years later?

Like something happened that
triggered the curse in the first place?

- What could that have been?
- I don't know

but to turn nice Osiris
into some kind of Antichrist,

it couldn't have been anything beautiful.

If we at least knew to
which naos or temple

she heard that
would be a good clue.

I ask Nathalie.

- Is she better now?
- Yes.

Thanks very much.

(Jaumard in mind) They seem to
complement each other completely.

Two kindred spirits.

They combine something very strong.

What are you doing here?

Hm? Ah...

I do not know either.

Maybe I wanted
to talk to Ramses II.

I want to say you something.

Ah yes? OK. Let's go.

We're a lot closer
than you think.

that lunatic is saying?

We have so much in common.

I'll tell you one day.

Everything okay?

What is it?

Nothing, everthing is fine.

Just a dream.

- Yes.

- Fine, can you bring it to me later?
- Okay.

Thanks.

Hello. Had a nice morning?

What are you looking at me like that for?

You've never asked me
if I had a nice morning.

So just because I...

The prosecutor called.
Jaumard was attacked.

Oh, and his alibi?

Greg checked it out.
He didn't kill Baudry.

About 50 people attended
the High Priest's lecture.

- And shall we go there?
- Yes, right now.

- And let me know, yes?
- Yes, yes.

You're acting
really weird today.

I wasn't prepared for that.

When i came to,

the whole house was ransacked.

And he was gone again.

And did he say anything to you?

Yes, he said that...

if I don't want to
end up like Baudry,

I better give him
what he's looking for.

But I didn't know what he wanted

and then he slapped me in the face.

This bastard.

What did he look like?

I hardly saw him.

He was bearded.

- Kind of oriental.
- Egyptian?

- Yes. Yes, with his accent that's entirely possible.

OK, and that's all?

Yes I think so.

No, he had a scar too,
here under his left eye.

A scar.

- Okay. Thank you, Monsieur Jaumard.
- You're welcome.

Are we going, monsieur?
- Yes, wait a minute.

Thanks.

That was the
orderer of the theft.

He's still looking
for his damn statue.

Yes. But that's over.

saw that somewhere.

I need to talk to my father.

Your mother's notes

are with the company
for Egyptology.

No, those were personal notes.

Oh, I do not know.

I've never poked
around in her stuff.

I don't want to
stir up the past.

- It was red. Definitely.
- It was a red book.

Florence, can you tell me
what you are looking for?

This one.

- I think it is.
- But what is it?

Chassagne...

can you please answer me

Unbelievable.

This is it. See this sign?

The guy who attacked
Jaumard and Hugo,

had this as a
tattoo on my wrist.

It's the same motive.

Dad, tell me you, what
kind of booklet is this?

Give it to me.

1987, that's the year when...

she was involved in the
excavations at Mefkat.

1987. "This is an
extraordinary discovery."

(Mind Voice, Mother) That
kind of scarab necklace

traditionally decorated mummies,

where the scarab represented
the heart of the deceased.

Yet the inscriptions
on the scarab

correspond to nothing previously known.

I continue my research
not without emotion.

I think my discovery
will be a milestone

in the history of Egyptology.

Now I don't understand
anything else.

What does all of this have
to do with this character?

I don't know either.
It just says, "the Keepers".

The Keepers, but...

What came next?

"I need to stop my research ."

Said and I have
to get out of here

and flee from the Guardians
as soon as possible to Paris.

I'm afraid.

"I'm afraid"?

Nothing after that.
What happened dad?

Oh well.

I just know...

that she was never in Egypt again.

She told me that she was
no longer doing research,

but would rather teach.

She never explained to me why.

I thought she wanted
more time for you.

- How old was I?
- Eight. Eight or nine.

And this Said, who is that?
Did you know him?

He was her assistant during
the excavations at Mefkat.

Your assistant?

She helped him settle in France.

Will you help me find him?
Verlay needs to interrogate him.

I knew I'd have to tell someday.

Did you deal with them?

With who?

The Keepers.

You could say that.

What did they want from my mother?
Why did she have to flee?

You knew that Madame Chassagne
had found the scarab necklace.

They wanted for me
to steal them for them.

And did you have that?
Did you steal it?

They swore to
kill me if I didn't.

But when I opened the
chest, the chain was gone.

Said, what are you doing?

I beg you, you will kill me!

(Said, now) She had the
necklace sent to France.

What happened?
Who wants to kill you?

(Said, now) I
confessed everything.

Your mother realized that
the Keepers would kill us,

if we stay in Egypt.

We left immediately.

Okay, and those Guardians,
what did they want with the chain?

For over 2000 years every
generation swears anew

to render harmless
their malign power.

The chain is cursed.

Cursed like the Osiris statue.

Is that why she
locked away in a box?

The necklace and the statue
are intended for a forbidden ritual,

a sacrilege.

A ritual that the Guardians are
determined to prevent from being performed.

They were afraid that
my mother would find out.

Correct?

She became too
dangerous for the Guardians.

You are ready for anything

to prevent this ritual
from being performed.

This is your mission, or
else evil will be unleashed.

Well well well.

And... where is that chain now?

Still in the Louvre. I think.

Wait, Madame Chassagnes
Mother finds a necklace

and sends them to the Louvre.

And 30 years later
resurfaces the statue

in the hands of her daughter?

There is no coincidence.

The necklace and the
statue must work together.

The keepers don't want that

but it is the gods who decide

These two objects found
a way to be together again.

Fate wanted that the
statue came to you.

Fate, plain and simple.
Holy shit.

Then 2500 years ago
these keepers got the statue

put in a box to keep
them off a chain?

- Yes. Apparently that shit
is passed from father to son.

And the Guardians still
watch over the statue.

That's crazy.
Only that Baudry stole it.

- So we were wrong.
- Why were we wrong?

Because Baudry's killer
is not client of the theft.

The killers are these keepers.

They came to France
to retrieve the statue.

Then we'll get them,
before they leave.

And the client of the
theft? And the chain?

What?

The statue was stolen
to reunite the two.

Someone is trying to
perform this forbidden ritual.

First we deal with
Baudry's killer.

If then a spinner with the chain

and the statue is
playing, let's work this out.

Okay, but I'll call Hugo so
he can go to camp tomorrow

and checking if the
chain is still there.

Yes, then do that.

I have to go and
talk to my father.

That's it.

Maman didn't tell us anything.

And that's why she was
never in Egypt again.

I haven't seen anything. Nothing.

I've been too busy
with my books.

Father.

I feel so terribly guilty.

Of course I felt that
something wasn't right.

But because she pretended

like everything is
fine I did that too.

That was easier.

Father.

Look at me.

Nobody's fault, and
do you know why?

Because Maman didn't
die because of that.

No, not directly,
but the car accident

I could have prevented

In the last two years she's
never really been into it.

Always with your head somewhere else.

If maybe had I been
there for her then...

If we talked to each other

she might have
seen that red light.

It's no use. Dad, we don't know.

And now I'll give you a hard
time with my stupid fears.

You are so like her

With your obsession just pounce.

I don't want to
lose you, Florence.

You will not lose me.

But you can't keep
me either for yourself.

I know.

But, as I said, she's
not in here anymore.

Can you find out who took them?

I guess so.

Waiting for a list of
those who had access.

It says what my mother said.

There are hieroglyphic
writings on the scarab.

Is there a translation?

No.

used in burial rituals

and the deceased
to the afterlife.

Does it have anything to do with the ritual

that is supposed to
wipe out all of humanity?

Oh shit.

What?

The last person to
have access to the chain

is Nathalie Vallon.

She was here four times last
year, and the last time before...

three months.

She stole the chain.

to you, Florence.

I should have told
you right away.

She was a real sweetheart,
forgotten in camp.

But why did you steal them?

(stuttering) But I swear to
you, I couldn't have known.

I couldn't...

Do you know about the forbidden ritual?
And what kind of ritual is it?

Is it something to do with
the hieroglyphs on the scarab?

Nathalie if...

Nathalie...

If you want me to help
you, tell me everything.

This is not a ritual
for a peaceful afterlife.

This ritual brings
back the dead.

But that contradicts

the Egyptians'
idea of eternal life.

A sacrilege unleashing
the forces of evil.

How exactly does the ritual work?

To bring back a dead
you must kill a living

Who stole the chain?

So, Madame Vallon, we're talking
about assisted murder, okay?

Of barbaric deeds.

So there is a weirdo

and want to perform a ritual?

- I didn't know. I swear to you I didn't know.

Yes, well, you didn't know what?

found by Mefkat.

is no matching Naos.

determine the origin.

there he is from
a nest called...

Kom el-Ahmar.

Kom el-Ahmar.

But wait a minute...

Kom el-Ahmar and Mefkat lie...

less than 30 kilometers apart.

Do you believe that...

It takes many hypotheses
to drive research.

We know that the Egyptians
surrounded their ancient stones,

to be able to reuse them.

When the Naos has been moved,
from Mefkat to Kom el-Ahmar,

then the Naos intended
for the ritual would be

maybe the D29.
