    The Mummy
PART 7EXT. CAMP - LATER THAT NIGHT
Having just freshened up for bed, Evelyn exits the temple and
steps past the sleeping Diggers. She spots the Egyptologist,
his jeweled canopic jar snug under one arm, the Book Of The
Dead laying loose under the other. Evelyn stares at the Book,
nervously biting her lip, then she sneaks over, carefully
steals it, and quickly tip-toes away.
Lying on some blankets by the campfire, O'Connell rolls over
and sees Evelyn, sitting wide-eyed, staring at the Book.
O'CONNELL
You sure you outta be playin,
around with that?
EVELYN
It's just a book, no harm ever
came from a book.
Evelyn opens the cover. THE FIRE FLICKERS. She and O'Connell
share a nervous look, then Evelyn shrugs and starts reading.
EVELYN
Ahm kum Ra. Ahm kum Dei.
Evelyn continues READING THE BOOK ALOUD IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN.
INT. IMHOTEPIS CHAMBER - NIGHT
Evelyn's VOICE is OVERLAID as WE START WIDE on Imhotep's
chamber and SLOWLY PUSH IN on his sarcophagus. WE PUSH IN
over the lip of the coffin, then closer and closer towards
Imhotep's rotten, twisted head, until his putrid face fills
FRAME, --and then suddenly his crusty eyelids Pop OPEN!
Revealing EMPTY SOCKETS. --BIG SCARY MUSIC STING.
EXT. BASE CAMP - NIGHT
The Egyptologist sits bolt upright. Quickly looks around,
sees Evelyn reading the Book. He gets up and runs for her.
EGYTOLOGIST
NO! NOOOO! YOU MUST NOT!
He skids to a stop as a strange, piercing WHINE is heard,
coming from out in the desert. O'Connell and the others all
leap to their feet. The Americans run out of their tents.
The SOUND gets LOUDER and CLOSER. And then from out of the
darkness a HUGE WALL OF LOCUSTS SWIRLS into camp and envelops
everyone. O'Connell grabs Evelyn, and with Jonathan at their
side they race for the crevice, trying to fend off the horrid
vermin as they go. Beni and the Americans run for the temple.
The Egyptologist is covered in locusts. He stares at The Book
Of The Dead, looking haunted.
EGYPTOLOGIST
What have we done?
The campfire is SUCKED UP INTO THE AIR
INT. LABYRINTH CORRIDOR - NIGHT
O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan race down the labyrinth,
slapping at themselves and picking locusts out of their hair
JONATHAN
Did you see that!? Grasshoppers!
Billions of grasshoppers!
O'CONNELL
That's one of the plagues, right?
The grasshopper plague!
EVELYN
This is not a plague. It's
generational. Every so many
years the locusts of Egypt
have a population explosion
and they all take flight.
Evelyn steps forward, something SQUISHES. O'Connell lowers
his TORCH, --the entire floor is FILLED WITH SLIMY FROGS.
O'CONNELL
Okay, ....and what about frogs?
INT. LABYRINTH PASSAGEWAY - NIGHT
The Americans, Beni and the Diggers race into a passageway.
Burns is knocked down, his bifocals skitter across the
ground, they get CRUSHED in the stampede. Burns staggers to
his feet, squinting. BLURRY FIGURES vanish into the darkness,
BURNS
Daniels! Henderson!
INT. LABYRINTH CORRIDOR - NIGHT
The ground under O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan starts to
SHAKE. Then suddenly, right in front of them, --HUNDREDS OF
CHITTERING SCARAB-BEETLES BOIL UP OUT OF THE SAND. Start
scurrying towards them. Evelyn SCREAMS. Jonathan SCREAMS.
Even O'Connell almost screams. They turn around and haul-ass.INT. PASSAGEWAY - NIGHT
Burns staggers down a passageway, squinting, his hands out in
front of him, groping, trying not to bump into anything. Then
ten feet in front of him, a dark, blurry FIGURE steps out.
BURNS
Daniels? .... is that you?
Burns half-blindly staggers forward. The Figure doesn't move.
BURNS
Henderson?
Burns TRIPS, stumbles forward, towards the Figure, his hands
reach out and SINK INTO IMHOTEPIS PUTRID CHEST CAVITY. Burns
jumps like a scalded cat, pulls his hands out and looks at
them, --HIS HANDS ARE COVERED IN MOLTEN FLESH ROT. He starts
to SCREAM. A SKELETAL HAND clamps over his mouth.
LABYRINTH STAIRCASE - NIGHT
O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan race up the staircase,
just ahead of the mass of SCURRYING, CHITTERING SCARABS.
O'Connell leaps out onto a pedestal. Jonathan jumps up next
to him. Evelyn jumps up into a grotto on the other side of
the narrow stairway. The horrible herd of vicious scarabs
scurries between them, their ear-piercing CRITTERS send
shivers up Evelyn's spine. She leans back. THE WALL MOVES.
Evelyn falls backwards through an opening. O'Connell and
Jonathan watch the scarabs vanish up the staircase. Then
they look across the way. Evelyn is gone.
JONATHAN
EVY!?
SCARAB CHAMBER - NIGHT
Evelyn sits up, shakes the sand out of her hair, fearfully
looks around. It's almost PITCH BLACK. She gets up and feels
her way along the dark walls. She rounds a corner. A shaft of
MOONLIGHT filters in through a crack in the ceiling. A MAN
stands in the middle of the room. Evelyn walks towards him.
EVELYN
Oh thank goodness, you're one
of the Americans, aren't you?
Just as she reaches him he turns around. It's Burns. BOTH OF
HIS EYES ARE MISSING. He stares at her with vacant sockets.
Evelyn SCREAMS in horror and backs away, hyperventilating,
she bumps into something. She SCREAMS again and spins around
It's Imhotep. With two fresh EYEBALLS in his sockets.Evelyn SCREAMS again and backs away into a wall. Her hair is
down, her face is dirty and sweaty, her blouse is ripped, her
dress is torn, she's never looked sexier. Imhotep SQUINTS.
IMHOTEP
Anck-su-namun?
LABYRINTH STAIRCASE - NIGHT
O'Connell is feeling his way around inside the grotto
O'CONNELL
Damn-it! Must be a trap door
around here or somethin'.
And then they heat MEN SCREAMING, and suddenly, Henderson,
Daniels and one of the Diggers come running down the stairs.
HENDERSON
RUN, YOU SONS-A-BITCHES! RUUUUN!
O'Connell and Jonathan join them as they hear the herd of
CHITTERING scarabs coming their way. The Digger suddenly
trips and falls. O'Connell slows down, about to go back and
help him. But it's too late. The Digger SCREAMS in horror as
the herd of scarabs run over him, eating straight through
him, leaving behind the Digger's half eaten skeleton. Daniels
Henderson and Jonathan react in horror. O'Connell's already
running, races right past them. The others turn and haul-ass.
SCARAB CHAMBER - NIGHT
Imhotep steps forward, --the sand around him seems to
MAGNETIZE, swirling and dancing around his flaking skeletal
legs. Evelyn starts backing away, horrified, looks at Burns
EVELYN
Help me, ...please, ...help me.
Burns opens his mouth, but can only GURGLE and MOAN because
HIS TONGUE IS MISSING. Imhotep grabs him, throws him to the
ground and sets his skeletal foot on Burns' chest, like a big
game hunter standing on his kill. Imhotep then parts his
fetid lips, --A FRESH TONGUE FLAPS BETWEEN HIS ROTTED TEETH.
IMHOTEP
Kadeesh pharos Anck-su-namun!
Evelyn shivers in fear. Suddenly, O'Connell comes flying
around the corner and runs right up to her.
O'CONNELL
Would you quit playin, around!
Let's get outta here already!
O'Connell sees the look in her eyes and turns around, --at
the sight of Imhotep, O'Connell jumps back in fright.
O'CONNELL
WHOA!
O'Connell and Evelyn start backing away down the wall.
Imhotep glides sideways with them, like a tiger cornering his
prey, the sand around him SWIRLS and DANCES. Burns starts to
crawl away, whimpering as he goes. Imhotep suddenly stops and
UNHINGES his skeletal jaw, his skinless mouth stretches to an
inhuman size, and he lets out a horrific, primordial SHRIEK.
IMHOTEP
ANCK-SU-NAMUUUUUN!!!!
Evelyn SCREAMS. O'Connell shudders, then, embarrassed by his
fear, he opens his own mouth and ROARS right back at him--
O'CONNELL
Ahhhhhhhh!!
Then BLASTS him with the elephant gun, --BLAM! Through the
SMOKE AND FLAMMAGE we see Imhotep blown off his feet, his
ribcage half torn away. O'Connell grabs Evelyn and runs.
EXT. CREVICE - NIGHT
SAND and WIND whip through the ruins as O'Connell and Evelyn
stumble up out of the crevice and COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH TEN
ARMED MUMIA. The Mumia quickly raise their guns. O'Connell
and Evelyn quickly raise their hands. Jonathan, Henderson,
Daniels and the Egyptologist are already on their knees,
hands over their heads. Ardeth Bay steps forward.
ARDETH BAY
I told you to leave or die, you
refused, and now you may have killed
us all. For you have unleashed the
creature that we have feared for
more than four thousand years.
O'CONNELL
Relax, I got him.
ARDETH BAY
No mortal weapons can kill this
creature. He is not of this world.
O'CONNELL
Are we talkin, about the same
creature? The walking corpse?
Really big mouth? Really bad breath?
INT. ANUBIS' CHAMBER - NIGHT
Beni sloway backs up around Anubis, eyes wide, gun up. He
turns around, --IMHOTEP IS RIGHT THERE! Beni SCREAMS, backs
away and OPENS FIRE. Six GUNSHOTS perforate Imhotep, but have
no effect except to SPLATTER molten flesh rot onto the back
wall. Beni retreats into a corner, scared shitless. Imhotep
moves forward, his one hand trying to stop the molten mummy
guts from oozing out of the large shotgun hole in his side.
Beni drops his gun and grabs at the CHAINS around his neck,
'RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS AND ICONS dangle from each chain. Beni
holds the first one up: A CHRISTIAN CRUCIFIX. He quickly
makes the sign of-the cross and blesses himself in English:
BENI
May the good Lord protect and watch
over me as a shepherd watches over
his flock. And may Satan in all his
forms be vanquished forever.
It has no effect on Imhotep, who continues forward. Beni
quickly grabs at the other symbols and icons, holding them
out towards Imhotep, one after the other, trying to slow his
progress: an Islamic Sword and Crescent Moon necklace; a
Hindu Brahma medallion; a small Buddhist Bodhisattva statue.
All while blessing himself in Arabic, Hindi, Chinese and
Latin. Nothing works. Imhotep's skeletal hand reaches for
Beni's throat. Tears run down Beni's cheeks he's so freaked.
And that's when he holds up THE STAR OF DAVID and blesses
himself in HEBREW. Imhotep stops in his tracks. His hand
lowers. His grotesque new eyeballs stare at Beni.
IMHOTEP (subtitled)The language of the slaves.Looks at him quizzically. Imhotep takes a step back.
IMHOTEP (in Hebrew - subtitled)
I may have use for you. And
the rewards will be great.
Imhotep reaches into his tattered robe, and then holds out
his fetid hand, filled with squirming MAGGOTS. Beni cringes,
about to throw up, but then the maggots part, --revealing a
tiny pile of little JEWELS. Beni's eyes widen. Imhotep raises
his other hand, it holds Anck-su-namun's BROKEN CANOPIC JAR.
IMHOTEP (subtitled)
Where are the other sacred jars?
EXT . CREVICE - NIGHT
Several Mumia drag Burns up, he stares out with vacant
sockets. Daniels and Henderson are especially horrified.
DANIELS
You bastards!
HENDERSON
What did you do to him!?
ARDETH BAY
We saved him! Saved him before
the creature could finish his work
Now leave, all of you, quickly,
before he finishes you all.
JONATHAN
You're not going to kill us?
Evelyn ELBOWS Jonathan in the ribs.
ARDETH BAY
We must now hunt him down, and
try and find a way to kill him,
before he consumes the earth.
Allah be with us.
Ardeth Bay and the Mumia start heading down into the crevice.
O'Connell yells at them, trying to convince himself-
O'CONNELL
I told ya, I already got him!
Ardeth Bay stops and looks back, deadly serious.
ARDETH BAY
Know this, the creature will be
coming for you. He must consummate
the curse. And until he does, he
will never eat, he will never sleep,
and he will never stop.
Ardeth Bay turns and jumps down into the crevice,

PART 8EXT. RUINS - NIGHT
O'Connell and Jonathan boost Evelyn up onto a camel. Daniels
and Henderson throw Burns up onto another. The Egyptologist,
still clutching The Book Of The Dead, gets up on yet another.
They all head off into the dark, windblown desert ..........And then in the extreme foreground, A SKELETAL HAND SUDDENLY
PUNCHES UP OUT OF THE SAND, ACCOMPANIED BY THE MOST HORRIFIC,
PRIMORDIAL SHRIEK IMAGINABLE---
IMHOTEP
ANCK-SU-NAMUUUUUN!!!!
EXT. BRITISH FORT - CAIRO - DAY
A British flag flies over BRITISH SOLDIERS manning the front
gate. our tired, disheveled Heroes saunter up on their dusty
camels. The Soldiers check their papers, then let them enter.
INT. EVELYN'S QUARTERS - DAY
A steamer trunk is slammed to the floor and thrown open.
O'Connell chucks a load of DRESSES into the trunk.
O'CONNELL
I thought you didn't believe
in this stuff!?
O'Connell heads for the closet. Evelyn UNPACKS the dresses
EVELYN
Having an encounter with a four
thousand year old walking-talking
corpse tends to convert one.
O'CONNELL
Forget it, we're out the door
down the hall and gone.
EVELYN
No, we are not,
O'Connell throws a handful of her underthings into the trunk,
O'CONNELL
Oh yes we are.
O'Connell continues to PACK Evelyn's clothes as she continues
to UNPACK them:
EVELYN
No we are not. We woke him up,
and we must try and stop him.
O'CONNELL
We?! What we?! You didn't
read that book. I told you not
to play around with that thing.
EVELYN
Alright then, Me, I, ...I read the
book, I woke him up and I intend
to stop him.
O'Connell angrily stretches a bra between his hands.
O'CONNELL
How!? You heard the man, no mortal
weapons can kill this guy.
Evelyn grabs the bra and throws it into a drawer.
EVELYN
Then we'll have to find some
immortal ones.
O'CONNELL
There goes that alieff again. Not
me, I am outta here!
O'Connell stuffs a pile of Evelyn's shoes into the trunk.
Evelyn KICKS the lid shut, slamming it on his fingers.
O'Connell YELPS and angrily storms around the room sucking
his fingers as Evelyn follows him.
EVELYN
According to that Book, once
this creature has been reborn,
his curse will spread, and as
he grows in strength, so will
his curse grow, infecting the
people until the whole of the
earth is destroyed.
O'CONNELL
Yeah? So? Is that My problem?
EVELYN (incredulous)
It's everybody's problem!
O'CONNELL
Look lady, I appreciate you
saving my life and all, but
when I signed on, I agreed to
take you out there and bring
you back, and I did, now were
even, end of job, end of story,
contract terminated.
EVELYN
That's what I am to you? A contract?O'CONNELL
You can either tag along with me,
or you can stay here and play
around with Mister Maggot.
EVELYN
I'm staying.
O'CONNELL
FINE
O'Connell storms out and SLAMS the door. A BEAT. Then the
door opens and O'Connell's hand reaches back in and throws a
handful of frilly panties to the floor. SLAM goes the door.
EXT. BRITISH FORT COMPOUND - DAY
O'Connell angrily strides through the compound. He sees Beni
coming up the path with a MAN dressed in hooded robes, his
face covered by an ornate death mask. Imhotep disguised.
O'CONNELL
Beni ya little stinkweed,
where did you slink off to?
BENI
You left me! You left me in
the desert to rot.
O'CONNELL
Oh yeah, ....sorry bout that
(gestures to Imhotep)
So who's this guy?
BENI
This is Prince Imhotep, High
Priest of Osiris.O'CONNELL
Oh, hey, how ya doin'?
O'Connell sticks out his hand, --Imhotep instantly recoils
O'Connell gives him the once-over. Beni quickly covers.
BENI
The Prince does not like to be
touched by other humans. A Silly
eastern superstition, I'm afraid.
O'CONNELL
Yeah, well, we all got our
little problems today don't we?BENI
He has come to help Mister Burns
Somehow I feel responsible.
O'CONNELL
Don't gimme that, you never had
any scruples.
BENI
Do you know where I can steal some?
O'Connell fake-punches him. Beni flinches. O'Connell gives
Imhotep a look as he strides off.
O'CONNELL
See ya around, Padre.
Imhotep's grotesque new eyes glare out from behind the mask.
INT. CASBAH - DAY
The proverbial den-of-iniquity. Hard men, hard women and hard
liquor. Lots of deals going down. An OLDER GUY with a walrus
mustache is drunk and talking to some tough customers. He
wears British WWI fighter pilot gear. Meet WINSTON HAVLOCK.
WINSTON
I'm the last of the Royal Force
still stationed here, you know?
All the other laddies died in the
air and were buried in the sand.
The tough customers shove him away. Winston staggers over to
O'Connell and Jonathan at the bar, not missing a beat.
WINSTON
Ever since the end of the Great
War, there hasn't been a single
challenge worthy of a man like me.
O'CONNELL
I've heard it before, Winston,
O'Connell shoves him away. Winston staggers back to Jonathan.
WINSTON
I just wish I would've chucked
it with the other laddies,
gone down in a flame of glory,
instead of sitting around here,
rotting from boredom and booze!
Jonathan shoves him towards another group of unlucky sods
Henderson and Daniels sidle up to the bar next to them.Burns, now tongue-less, talks with a severe impediment
BURNS
The drawer there, spectacles.
(tries to laugh)
As you see, I won't be needing them.
Imhotep opens the drawer and pulls out some bifocals. He puts
the bifocals on over his death mask, --and grins broadly, his
rotted teeth showing through the mouth hole.
BENI
Mister Burns, Prince Imhotep
thanks you for your spectacles,
- and for your eyes, ....and
for your tongue.
The expression on Burns' face starts to change, very puzzled.
BENI
But I am afraid more is needed,
the Prince says he must finish
the job, consummate the curse
which you and your friends have
brought down upon yourselves.
A look of pure fear registers on Burns, face. Beni quickly
backs away and runs out of the room. Imhotep picks up the
sacred canopic jar, then removes the death mask, revealing
his hideous, shattered CORPSE-SKULL.
INT. CASBAH - DAY
Three shot glasses clink together. O'Connell, Jonathan and
Henderson slug 'em down, --all three of them instantly SPIT
OUT the liquid. Half the bar SPITS OUT their drinks as well.
HENDERSON
Sweet Jesus! That tasted just
like, ....like...
O'CONNELL
Blood.
They all look at each other, even more nervous.
JONATHAN
"And the rivers and waters of
Egypt went red and were
as blood."
A look passes over O'Connell's face, a realization.
O'CONNELL
He's here
He sudden1y jumps away from the bar and runs for the door.
JONATHAN
Who's here!?
O'CONNELL
The guy! The Priest! THE MUMMY!
EXT. BRITISH FORT COMPOUND - DAY
LIGHTNING FLASHES as O'Connell races across the compound,
knocking several Soldiers out of his way, panic stricken.
O'CONNELL
Evelyn!! EVELYYYYNN!!!
EXT. BRITISH FORT COURTYARD - DAY
Evelyn calmly steps into a courtyard carrying a handful of
books. A BLAST OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING scares her. She drops
half the books. Then a HAND GRABS HER! She jumps again and
drops the rest of the books. It's O'Connell, breathing hard.
O'CONNELL
We got problems.
And that's when a barrage of HAIL AND FIRE slams into the
courtyard. O'Connell and Evelyn jump back. A water fountain
bursts into STEAM. A wooden trellis catches FIRE. O'Connell
and Evelyn run under the eaves as SOLDIERS, SERVANTS and
CAMELS run in every direction, trying to avoid the maelstrom.
O'CONNELL
He's here! I saw him! That thing
is here!
EVELYN
The creature!? Are you sure!?
O'Connell gives her an incredulous look and gestures at the
HAIL and FIRE.
O'CONNELL
Pretty sure!
The HAIL and FIRE come to a stop. Everything goes dead quiet.
O'Connell and Evelyn freeze. And then a BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM
is heard coming from the living quarters directly above them.
O'Connell and Evelyn race up the stairs.
INT. BURNS' QUARTERS - DAY
O'Connell and Evelyn race into the room, past the Servant who
is running out SCREAMING. They skid to a stop as they spot
Burns, or what's left of him, lying dead on the floor, --HIS
BODY IS SHRIVELLED TO HALF IT'S SIZE. Drained of all organs
and liquids. O'Connell and Evelyn are shocked. Then they hear
a LOUD MOAN and notice Imhotep standing on the far side of
the room. O'Connell draws his gun.
Imhotep is REGENERATING: A thick skin FORMS over powerful new
musculature. His tendons RIPPLE. His bones BULGE and REFORM.
His mouth opens to an inhuman size as he MOANS and CRYS OUT,
in severe pain. And then it's over. And he looks like an
incredibly muscular, corpse-like vision from hell. The
'Terminator' Mummy. O'Connell and Evelyn are stunned.
O'CONNELL
we are in serious trouble.
Imhotep starts to move towards them, staring at Evelyn.
O'CONNELL
Back off, creep
Imhotep keeps coming. O'Connell OPENS FIRE. BLASTING Imhotep
Bullets RIP through his body. Imhotep doesn't seem to mind.
Jonathan, Henderson and Daniels run into the room. They're
all stunned at the sight of Imhotep.
O'Connell steps forward, throws a RIGHT HOOK, punches Imhotep
in the face, --HIS FIST GOES THROUGH IMHOTEPIS SKULL AND GETS
STUCK DEEP INSIDE HIS HEAD. O'Connell stares at it, shocked,
then quickly YANKS his fist back out. The area of Imhotep's
face that came into contact with O'Connell's fist quickly
DEGENERATES and DECAYS, right down to the bone, as if
O'Connell's hand instantly infected it.
Imhotep angrily turns, grabs O'Connell, and with no effort,
THROWS him across the room and into Jonathan and the others
knocking them down. Imhotep looks at his hand, the one that
just grabbed O'Connell, --IT STARTS TO SHRIVEL and DECAY.
He quickly turns to Evelyn. Evelyn backs away into a wall,
terrorized. Imhotep steps up to her.
IMHOTEP (subtitled)
You saved me from the undead.
For this, I shall make you immortal.
He leans in, about to kiss her with his decayed face.
And that's when a WHITE CAT jumps onto the piano, HISSING.
Imhotep SHRIEKS. The balcony doors BLOW OPEN. Imhotep spins
into a BLAST OF WIND AND SAND and SWIRLS out the doors. Gone.O'Connell, Evelyn, Jonathan and Daniels stand transfixed.
Henderson kneels next to Burns, shriveled body, horrified.
HENDERSON
The curse the curse

    The Mummy
PART 9INT. MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES - DAY
O'Connell, Jonathan, Henderson and Daniels follow Evelyn
across the Ramesseum.
EVELYN
There's only one person I know
who can possibly give us some
answers.
They round a corner and come upon the Curator, --who is
talking with Ardeth Bay. Everybody stops.
EVERYBODY
YOU!
O'Connell and the American's quickly draw their guns.
Ardeth Bay just scowls. The Curator nods his head.
CURATOR
Miss Carnavon. Gentlemen.
EVELYN
What is he doing here?
CURATOR
Do you truly wish to know? or
would you prefer to just shoot us?
Everybody tenses, guns up. Then O'Connell uncocks his .38.
O'CONNELL
I just saw my fist vanish into
some guy's head.
He slides his gun back into his shoulder-holster.
O'CONNELL
I'm willin, to go on a little
faith, here.
CURATOR
You will not believe it
O'CONNELL
Try me.INT. RAMESSEUM - MOMENTS LATER
Everyone is assembled around the tomb display of Seti The
First. We recognize his chariot and sword. The Curator sits
on Seti's throne.
CURATOR
We are part of an ancient secret
society, the cult-of-the-Mumia,
and we have a sacred mission,
passed down through thirty-nine
generations. For over four thousand
years we have guarded The City Of
The Dead. we are sworn at manhood
to , do any and all in our power to
stop the High Priest Imhotep from
being reborn into this world.
ARDETH RAY
And because of you, we have failed.
EVELYN (appalled)
And you think this justifies
killing innocent people!?
CURATOR
To have stopped this creature? Yes!
O'CONNELL
Okay, let's cut to the chase. He's
afraid of cats, what's that about?
CURATOR
According to the ancients, cat's
are the guardians at the gates of
the underworld. Imhotep will fear
them until he is fully regenerated,
and then he will fear nothing.
Daniels is totally wigged-out, he looks at O'Connell.
DANIELS
Right! And ya know how he gets
fully regenerated?! By killing
everybody who opened that chest
and sucking us dry! That's how!
CURATOR
Yes, the creature must first try
and regenerate, and then he will
attempt to resurrect the one he
has loved for more than four
thousand years.
EVELYN
Anck-su-namun.
The Curator and Ardeth Bay look at Evelyn, thunderstruck.
EVELYN
In the necropolis, when I saw him,
alive, ...walking, he called me
Anck-su-namun. And then in Mister
Burns' quarters he tried to kiss me.
CURATOR
It is because it was you who read
from the Book. He has chosen you to
be-the human sacrifice needed to
regenerate the body of Anck-su-namun.
Jonathan scratches his ear with the barrel of his pistol.
JONATHAN
This is not good. Not good at all
Ardeth Bay has been staring out a wall of windows.
ARDETH BAY
Tonight is the full moon. The moon
of Osiris. It will begin tonight.
Everyone follows Ardeth Bay's eyes, through the windows we
can see the SUN, --which is now going into a FULL ECLIPSE.
JONATHAN
"...and he stretched forth his
hands towards the heavens, and
there was darkness throughout
the land of Egypt."
EXT. BRITISH FORT - WINDOW - DAY FOR NIGHT
O'Connell looks out a window at the British Soldiers manning
the walls. Above and beyond them, --is the BLACK SUN.
EXT. EVELYN'S FOYER - DAY FOR NIGHT
Evelyn and Jonathan are pacing the foyer
EVELYN
we must stop him from regenerating.
She turns to Daniels and Henderson
EVELYN
Who opened that chest?
HENDERSON
Well, there was me and Daniels here
and then poor Burns of course, oh
yeah, and that Egyptologist fella.
O'Connell turns from the window
O'CONNELL
What about my buddy, Beni?
DANIELS
Naw, he scrammed outta there,
EVELYN
We must find the Egyptologist
and bring him back here to the
safety of the fort, before the
creature can get to him.
O'Connell looks at Evelyn, Daniels and Henderson.
O'CONNELL
Okay, ...Evelyn, you wait here,
you two come with me.
All three of them pounce on him at once--
HENDERSON
The hell with that! I'm not
goin' nowhere! we're safe here.
DANIELS
Yeah, I'm not leavin, this
fort for nothin'.
EVELYN
Who put you in charge? You can't
just leave me behind like some old
suitcase. I'm the one responsible
for this mess and I intend to be
the one to clean it up.
O'Connell just shakes his head and SIGHS. Totally put-upon.
Then he takes Evelyn, shoves her into the bedroom, slams the
door and locks it with a skeleton key. From inside her room
we can hear Evelyn POUNDING on the door and YELLING.
O'Connell throws the skeleton key to Daniels.
O'CONNELL
Keep an eye on her. If you leave
her door, I'll rip your spleen out
C'mon, Jonathan.
Jonathan swallows hard and points to himself
JONATHAN
Me?
CAIRO ALLEYWAYS - BAZAAR - DAY FOR NIGHT
The Egyptologist stumbles through the dark alleys, looking
haunted. He clutches the Book of The Dead in one hand and his
SACRED CANOPIC JAR in the other. Imhotep is stalking him. A
STREET VENDOR turns and sees Imhotep's horribly decayed face.
He reacts and scurries away. Imhotep lifts his robe, covers
his face, and moves in on the Egyptologist, who is heading
into the bazaar. WE PAN UP TO--
THE EGYPTOLOGIST'S OFFICE - DAY FOR NIGHT
Beni is RANSACKING the joint, pulling out drawers and files
and throwing them on the floor. He finds a silver pocket
watch, shakes it, then throws it into his pocket, then he
starts tipping over bookcases and clearing shelves.
O'CONNELL(o.s.)
well, well, well.
Beni spins around. O'Connell and Jonathan stand in the door.
O'CONNELL
Lemme guess, spring cleaning?
Beni turns and runs for an open window. O'Connell grabs a
chair, FLINGS IT into his path. Beni TRIPS and CRASHES into a
wall. O'Connell strides over, grabs him and lifts him up the
wall. Beni's feet dangle off the floor.
O'CONNELL
Where's your new friend?
BENI
what friend? You're my only friend
O'Connell quickly slides his knife up under Beni's chin
O'CONNELL
Then you got no excuse for living.
What the hell you doin, being
buddies with this creep, Beni?
What's in it for you?
BENI
It is better to be the right hand
of the Devil,....than in his path.
As long as I serve him, I am immune.O'CONNELL
Immune from what?
BENI
You shall see.O'CONNELL
What are you looking for?
Lie, and I'll slit your throat
O'Connell shoves the knife deeper into Beni's skin.
BENI
The book! The black book they
found at Hamunaptra! Imhotep
wants it back. Said to me it
would be worth it's weight
in diamonds.
O'CONNELL
What does he want the book for?
BENI (shrugs)
Something about bringing his
dead girly-friend back to life
He needs the book....
(looks at Jonathan)
And your sister.
O'Connell looks at Jonathan. Beni seizes the moment and KNEES
O'Connell in the balls. O'Connell doubles over and collapses.
Beni leaps out the window. Jonathan cringes.
JONATHAN
That looked rather painful
O'CONNELL (wincing)
Ya know, ever since I met you,
my luck has been for crap.
JONATHAN
Yes, I know, I do that to people
And that's when they hear a BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM coming from
down in the bazaar. O'Connell and Jonathan scramble to the
window and look out--
EXT. BAZAAR - DAY FOR NIGHT
Down in the bazaar, people are SCREAMING and quickly backing
away from the SHRIVELLED CORPSE OF THE EGYPTOLOGIST.
A partially decayed HAND reaches down and takes the sacred
canopic jar out of the Egyptologist's shriveled hand. It's
Imhotep, having regenerated even further. He looks up and
catches eyes with O'Connell. Imhotep grins, then UNHINGES; his
jaw, his mouth stretches to an inhuman size, and then a huge
SWARM OF FLIES comes out of his mouth and races straight up
at O'Connell and Jonathan. They both SLAM the shutters.
The flies SLAM into the closed window and immediately spread
throughout the bazaar. Sending people SCREAMING and running.
EGYPTOLOGISTS OFFICE - DAY FOR NIGHT
O'Connell and Jonathan look at each other, panicked
O'CONNELL
Damn-it! That's two down and
only two to go.
JONATHAN
And then he'll be coming after Evy.
They turn and race out of the office.
BRITISH FORT - WINDOW --NIGHT
Daniels stares out a window, watching the British Guards at
the front gate. more Soldiers march the encircling parapet.
SOLDIER
Ten O'clock! All is well!
The lights and MUSIC from the Casbah come up from below
INT. EVELYN'S FOYER - NIGHT
Daniels turns from the window. Henderson sits in a chair next
to Evelyn's door, chain smoking. Both look wired with fear.
DANIELS
The hell with this. I'm goin,
downstairs to get me a drink.
You want somethin,?
HENDERSON
Yeah, get me a glass of bourbon, a
shot of bourbon and a bourbon chaser
Daniels nods and heads out. Henderson just sits there, alone,
smoking. He reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls out his
SACRED CANOPIC JAR and fondles it. A BREEZE suddenly comes in
through the open window. The curtains flutter. Henderson gets
up and goes over to shut it. He looks out the window.
The CAMERA races over the compound, into the window and HITS
Henderson square in the FACE just as he's about to scream.
Henderson is lifted into the air by a mass of SWIRLING SAND.
His body TWISTS and TURNS and Slowly SHRIVELS as the life is
SUCKED out of him. Then he COLLAPSES to the floor. On the
wall above him, the SHADOW of the SWIRLING SAND condenses,
forming a SHADOW of a human body. The SHADOW CONVULSES as the
body REGENERATES. And then it's over.
Imhotep steps into view. He's regenerated even further and
looks almost normal now, his face no longer decayed. He steps
over Henderson's shriveled body and up to Evelyn's door,
rattles the knob. it's locked. Imhotep grins.
EVELYN'S ROOM - NIGHT
Evelyn is asleep in her bed as SAND begins streaming in through
the keyhole, pouring onto the floor, forming a large mound. Evelyn
starts to toss and turn. WE PAN BACK OVER TO THE DOOR: The mound
of sand is gone and in it's place is Imhotep.
