    The Mummy
PART 10INT. FOYER - NIGHT
O'Connell and Jonathan race into the foyer and skid to a
stop as they see Henderson's shriveled body on the floor.
O'Connell runs up to Evelyn's door and rattles the knob,
still locked. He bends down and looks in through the KEYHOLE.
EVELYN'S ROOM - NIGHT
Imhotep leans down towards Evelyn, about to kiss her as she
sleeps. The door starts to CRASH and BANG from O'Connell.
Imhotep ignores it. And KISSES Evelyn. His lips and mouth
instantly start to DEGENERATE and DECAY. Right down to the
bone. The door BURSTS OPEN. Evelyn wakes-up. Sees Imhotep's
rotted mouth kissing her. She SCREAMS and shoves him away.
Imhotep's putrid mouth grimaces in sadness.
O'CONNELL
Get your hands off my girl, pal.
Imhotep's sadness turns to anger as he spins around and faces
O'Connell. Imhotep licks his fetid lips. O'Connell smirks.
O'CONNELL
Nice lips.
Imhotep starts to move for O'Connell.
O'CONNELL
I figured you might be here,
so I brought a friend.
He throws the white cat at Imhotep. Imhotep instinctively
catches it. He SHRIEKS, drops the cat and stumbles back
towards the window, --which suddenly BLOWS OPEN. Imhotep
spins like a dervish and BURSTS INTO A WHIRLWIND OF SAND.
Everybody covers their eyes. The Imhotep/sand-devil EXPLODES
out the window and vanishes over the compound.
Jonathan aims his gun at the window, his hand shaking badly.
O'Connell hugs Evelyn as she wipes her mouth in disgust.
Daniels walks in, looks at Henderson's shriveled body on
the floor . .... and drops the martini glasses.
INT. 1923 CONVERTIBLE DUSSENBERG - NIGHT
Jonathan races his big convertible through the streets,
HONKING constantly. Evelyn sits between him and O'Connell,
looking scared and nervous, then she gives O'Connell a look.
EVELYN
You called me your girl?
O'CONNELL
What? ... Oh yeah, that was just
um, you know, figure a speech.
EVELYN
I think you were jealous
O'CONNELL
Jealous? You kiddin' me? Did
you see that guy's face?
Daniels leans forward from the back seat, filled with fear,
DANIELS
Shut-up! JUST SHUT-UP! We gotta
do somethin'! we gotta do somethin,
NOW! Before it's too late!
They race into the driveway of the museum of Antiquities.
EXT. CAIRO BAZAAR - NIGHT
A FULL MOON now shines down on the bazaar, still bustling
with activity. Suddenly, a BREEZE kicks-in. GREEN MIST begins
to SWIRL down the street and through the stalls. The people
begin to CHOKE and COUGH and RETCH, as if being hit by a
severe sickness. --It's already too late.
Imhotep strolls through the sickened mob, his face half
rotted off, his deformed mouth grinning happily. Beni is
at his side, looking very nervous. And then, one-by-one',
the people silently begin to follow Imhotep, their skin
now covered in disgustingly hideous BOILS AND SORES.
INT. MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES - NIGHT
O'Connell., Jonathan, Daniels, the Curator and Ardeth Bay
fo11ow Evelyn as she strides through the museum.
EVELYN
Last month I came across an
inscription that mentioned
The Book Of The Dead.
DANIELS
That book we found at Hamunaptra?
EVELYN
Yes. I dismissed it, because it
talked about bringing people
back from the dead. A notion
I was unwilling to believe.
O'CONNELL
Believe it, sister. That's what
brought our buddy back to life.
JONATHAN
And now he's going to use it
to bring his girlfriend back
ARDETH BAY
And if he succeeds, the two of
them together will bring about
the apocalypse.
The Curator joins Evelyn at her side as she heads up the
stairs, everyone else in hot pursuit.
THE CURATOR
The plagues we have seen so far,
are merely Imhotep flexing his
muscles. only at the moment of
Anck-su-namun's resurrection
will he be truly invincible.
They reach the display cases. Evelyn quickly opens them.
EVELYN
I'm thinking that if the black
Book Of The Dead can bring people
back to life--
CURATOR
--then perhaps, the golden Book
Of The Living can return them
to the underworld.
EVELYN
Exactly -
O'CONNELL
So your sayin', if we find the
book made outta gold--
CURATOR
--And read the sacred incantations
contained inside it.
O'CONNELL
You think it'll send this guy
back to hell?
CURATOR
Correct,
And that's when LOUD CHANTING is heard coming from outside
They all rush over to the upper windows and look down--
OUTSIDE: A large, CRAZED MOB covered in hideous boils and sores
comes CHANTING up the driveway: 'Anck-su-namun! Anck-su-namun!
ARDETH BAY
it has begun. The beginning of
the end.
EVELYN
Not quite yet it hasn't. C'mon,
Evelyn dashes back to the display cases. Everyone follows.
EXT. MUSEUM - NIGHT
The crazed mob CRASHES into the huge front doors, which are
locked. They pound furiously, throwing themselves at it while
CHANTING CONSTANTLY. Imhotep solemnly comes up the driveway.
INT. MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES - UPPER BALCONY - NIGHT
The BANGING on the doors can be heard as Evelyn and the
Curator quickly sort through broken pieces of stone tablets.
The others watch. Evelyn pulls out a large piece.
EVELYN
Got it!
O'CONNELL
Got what?
The BANGING gets LOUDER. Multiple windows SHATTER. Evelyn
talks while quickly translating the tablet:
EVELYN
Since the black Book of The Dead
was found inside the statue of
Anubis, then according to this,
the golden Book of The Living
should be inside ........
Evelyn finds the translation in the tablet and smiles.
O'CONNELL
what?
JONATHAN
What?
DANIELS
WHAT!?
EVELYN
The golden Book Of The Living,
is inside the statue of Koz-us.
CURATOR
Which would be located not far to
the east of the Anubis statue.
O'CONNELL
Don't tell me we gotta go back
out there?
CURATOR
If we want to kill the creature, yes.
TWO HIDEOUS BOIL & SORE-COVERED MEN charge out of a doorway,
SCREAMING. O'Connell and Ardeth Bay grab them and chuck them
over the railing. The men fly through the air and CRASH into
the lower display cases. The front doors suddenly BURST OPEN,
The crazed mob pours into the museum. our heroes haul-ass
across the balcony and down the staircase.
EXT. MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITY - NIGHT
Jonathan sneaks out of some bushes and quickly heads for his
convertible. Suddenly, a splinter group of the diseased mob
comes around the side of the museum. Jonathan instantly bugs
his eyes out, starts drooling, and begins CHANTING---
JONATHAN
Anck-su-namun! Anck-su-namun!
The crazed group runs past him and heads into the front doors
of the museum. Jonathan leaps into the convertible, fires it
up and 180's it back over to the bushes.
O'Connell, Evelyn, Daniels, Ardeth Bay and the Curator jump
inside the car. Beni steps out of the museum and sees them.
BENI
Imhotep! IMHOTEP!
Imhotep looks out of the museum from the shattered upper
windows just as the convertible PEELS OUT. O'Connell points a
finger at Beni as they race past him.
O'CONNELL
You're gonna get yours, pal!
Imhotep UNHINGES his jaw, his mouth stretches to an inhuman
size, he lets out one of his horrific, primordial SHRIEKS.
His disease-ridden disciples immediately begin pouring out
of the front doors of the museum and chasing after the car.
EXT. BAZAAR - NIGHT
The convertible hauls-ass down the narrow bazaar street.
Crazies start jumping out of stalls and LEAPING onto the
car. O'Connell and the others fight them off, throwing them
overboard. More people JUMP on. Jonathan SWERVES the car,
CRASHES through some stalls, knocking them off, but not
before they manage to open the back door and YANK Daniels
out. He TUMBLES across the pavement. Gets up SHOOTING. Backs
into a corner, FIRING his pistol into the hideous rabble,
killing several, keeping them at bay. His gun goes empty,
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! But the mob stays back, looking at him
like rabid vultures. Daniels eyes them, filled with fear.
The mob parts like the red sea as Imhotep walks through them
and up to Daniels. Daniels whimpers in fear, tears pour down
his cheeks. Then he gets an idea, reaches into his pocket,
and pulls out his jewel encrusted SACRED CANOPIC JAR. He
holds it out for Imhotep. Imhotep takes it and grins. Through
his tears, Daniels grins back, hopeful that he'll be spared.
WE CUT WIDE: Somewhere in the middle of the crazed, diseased
mob, we hear Daniels give out A BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM ........
INT./EXT. CONVERTIBLE - STREETS - NIGHT
The convertible slowly motors down the narrow alleys. WE
DOLLY across the hood of the car from Jonathan to Evelyn to
O'Connell. Ardeth Bay and the Curator are still in the back.
All of them staring out the front windshield. Freaked-out.
Then suddenly one of the hideous ghouls CRASHES through the
windshield! Everybody SCREAMS. Jonathan hits the gas, loses
control, the car SLAMS into a wall. O'Connell grabs Evelyn.
O'CONNELL
C'mon! C'mon! Let's go! Let's go!They all leap out of the car. But the angry, festering mob
quickly surrounds them. O'Connell quickly reaches into his
gunny-sack, pulls out a stick of dynamite, then reaches into
his pocket and pulls out a match. He looks around for a way
to light it, then reaches over and strikes it across Ardeth
Bay's stubbly face. Ardeth Bay YELPS. O'Connell holds the lit
match near the fuse.
The crazed, CHANTING mob gives O'Connell a wide berth,
staring at him and the others with insane, bloodshot eyes.
And then Imhotep steps through, --having fully regenerated,
he now looks as young and handsome and muscular as he did the
day he was buried alive. Evelyn stares at him.
EVELYN
He's gorgeous.
O'Connell gives her a look, the match burns his fingers. He
YELPS and throws it down, grabs another match and strikes it
across Ardeth Bay's face again. Ardeth Bay YELPS and gives
O'Connell a look to kill. The Curator shakes his head.
THE CURATOR
He has consummated the curse,
now all he need do is raise
Anck-su-namun from the dead,
then it will be the end of us,
and the beginning for them.
Imhotep moves forward, heading right for them. O'Connell
LIGHTS THE FUSE. Imhotep steps up to O'Connell and stops,
watching the fuse burn down. it's a game of chicken. The
tension mounts. The LIT FUSE is about to vanish inside the
stick of dynamite, blowing it up, --when Evelyn leans forward
and blows it out. O'Connell exhales, but keeps his eyes on
Imhotep, who extends his hand to Evelyn.
IMHOTEP
Koontash dai na.
Beni steps through the swarming mass, translating.
BENI
Take his hand and he will
spare the others.
Evelyn hesitates, looks around at the huge, bloodthirsty
crowd surrounding them, holding axes, picks and scimitars,
waiting to pounce, then she looks at Imhotep, confident,
powerful, invincible. Then she looks at O'Connell.
EVELYN
Any bright ideas?O'Connell talks through angry, grit teeth.
O'CONNELL
Sorry, fresh out.
Evelyn looks back at Imhotep, then starts to reach out to
take his hand. Both O'Connell and Jonathan move to stop her,
--but Ardeth Bay grabs them both and holds them tight.
O'CONNELLDon't do it, Evelyn.EVELYN
I have no choice.
Evelyn's trembling hand touches Imhotep's: His hand closes
around hers. Nothing happens. Imhotep smiles.
IMHOTEP
Keetah mi pharos, aja nilo, isirlan.
BENI
Come with me my princess. It is
time to make you mine, forever.
Evelyn gives Beni a nasty look, correcting him--
EVELYN
All eternity, idiot,
Then she looks at O'Connell and puts on her best face.
EVELYN
You better think of something,
because if he turns me into a
mummy, your the first one I'm
coming after.
O'Connell almost smiles
O'CONNELL
Got guts, lady.
EVELYN
Yes, I know, and I'd like to
keep them.
Imhotep suddenly notices something. He reaches forward and--
RIPS THE KEY/BOX OUT OF JONATHAN'S UPPER JACKET POCKET.
JONATHAN
Hey that's mine--!
Ardeth Bay holds Jonathan back. Imhotep pulls Evelyn away.
O'Connell can't take it anymore, he tries to break free of
Ardeth Bay's grip.
O'CONNELL
Evelyn!
The huge, powerful man holds him tight.
ARDETH BAY
Be calm. There is still time.
we can stop him yet.
The crowd parts for Imhotep and Evelyn. And then Imhotep
stops and looks back at O'Connell.
IMHOTEP
Pared oos.
Evelyn SCREAMS.
EVELYN
NOOO!!
Beni smiles.
BENI
Kill them.
Imhotep pulls her away. O'Connell breaks free of Ardeth Bay's
grip and stumbles forward.
O'CONNELL
EVELYN!
But the rabid vultures are already moving in for the kill.
O'Connell quickly bends down, pulls open a CISTERN/MANHOLE
COVER and shoves Jonathan down inside it, then jumps in after
him. The Curator pushes Ardeth Bay towards the cistern hole.
CURATOR
Go! Find a way! Kill the creature!
The Curator turns and throws himself at the mob as Ardeth Bay
crawls down into the hole. The mob tears the Curator apart.

PART 11INT. CATACOMBS - NIGHT
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay slosh their way down the
watery catacomb, crazies pouring in behind them. Up ahead, a
LIGHT suddenly shines in from another cistern hole, and then
more of the infected crowd drop down, SCREECHING like rats.
O'Connell jags right, pushing Jonathan and Ardeth Bay ahead
of him, he strikes a match off the wall, lights the nubby
fuse on a stick of dynamite, throws it, and runs like hell.
FIRE BLAST incinerates a bunch of crazies.
STREET - ALLEY - NIGHT
The EXPLOSION blows a cistern cover fifty feet into the air,
followed by a mass of FLAMMAGE ..............
EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT
A sewer grate is kicked out of a wall. O'Connell, Jonathan
and Ardeth Bay climb out of the hole and into AN ALLEY.
O'CONNELL
We gotta get her back.
JONATHAN
I'm with you, old man. No one
touches my sister like that and
gets away with it.
O'Connell looks at Ardeth Bay,
O'CONNELL
You know where he's taking her?
ARDETH BAY
Yes. To Hamunaptra. To perform
the ritual.
Jonathan looks worried.
JONATHAN
And what ritual would that be?
ARDETH BAY
The ritual to bring the body of
Anck-su-namun back to life.
JONATHAN
And how does one do that?
ARDETH BAY
By reading the Book Of The Dead.
JONATHAN
Oh yes, of course.
ARDETH BAY
And then killing your sister.
JONATHAN
Excuse me?
Ardeth Bay looks at O'Connell,
ARDETH BAY
Imhotep is now able to cross the
desert with great haste.
Jonathan taps him in the shoulder,
JONATHAN
Begging your pardon, but I wasn't
quite clear on that last part.
Ardeth Bay ignores him,
ARDETH BAY
If he arrives before us, it will
be too late.
JONATHAN
Did you say 'kill' my sister?
O'Connell smiles
O'CONNELL
I know how to beat him to it.
And on that WE SMASH CUT TO-- THE ERFOUD DUNES - DAWN
Jonathan's bashed-in convertible steams it's way up to a set
of semi-abandoned Quonset huts. A single WWI BIPLANE with
R.A.F. INSIGNIAS sits in the sand beside them. A SIGN READS:
HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL AIR CORP
EXT. QUONSET HUT - DUNES - MINUTES LATER
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay stand before Winston
Havlock, the massive dunes of Erfoud as our background.
WINSTON
So what's your little problem
got to do with His Majesty's
Royal Air Corp?
O'CONNELL
Not a god-damned thing.
Winston looks intrigued.
WINSTON
is it dangerous?
O'CONNELL
You probably won't live through it,
This really interests him.
WINSTON
By Jove, do you really think so?
JONATHAN
Everybody else we've bumped into
has died, why not you?
Winston nods his head, he's hooked.
WINSTON
So what's the challenge then?
O'CONNELL
To save the damsel in distress,
kill the bad guy and steal his
treasure.
A slow grin spreads across Winston's face, then he gives them
a snappy salute.
WINSTON
Winston Havlock at your service, sir!
SAHARA - DAY
Way off across the desert, a large SAND-DEVIL races over the
dunes. The SANDY WHIRLWIND comes to a stop and starts to
dissipate. Evelyn and Beni are suddenly ejected out of it,
they land in a dune. The SWIRLING SAND CONDENSES AND FORMS
INTO IMHOTEP. He looks up into the sky, listening carefully.
Evelyn shakes the sand out of her hair and looks at Beni.
EVELYN
what just happened?
BENI
All I remember is him turning
into a blast of sand, ....and
then I remember nothing.
then they hear a plane in the sky and look up.
INT. BIPLANE - DAY
The WIND whips at Winston in the cockpit. O'Connell sits in
the gunner's compartment. Jonathan is strapped spread-eagle
across the left wing, Ardeth Bay is tied tight to the right.
Both men are scared out of their wits and SCREAMING in fear.EXT. SAHARA - DAY
Imhotep's jaw UNHINGES, his mouth opens to an inhuman size,
he lets fly with another one of his horrible SHRIEKS. --And
a massive WALL OF SAND rises up out of the desert
BIPLANE - DAY
O'Connell watches the desert below him come alive and rise
up towards the plane. Winston looks over the side and sees
what's coming. He laughs, throws the throttle, and puts the
plane into a dive.
WINSTON
Hang on, men!
WE GO WIDE AS: The sandstorm chases the diving, twisting
biplane. Getting closer and closer, about to engulf it.
O'Connell looks back into the blinding sand and sees a GIANT
FACE forming inside the sandstorm. It's Imhotep. Grinning.
O'Connell grabs the Lewis machine-gun, cocks the bracket and
FIRES, blasting away at Imhotep's giant face inside the
sandstorm. Imhotep's face begins to laugh, then his jaw
unhinges, his mouth opens wide, and he ENGULFS the plane.
Winston blindly fights for control, elated.
WINSTON
We're going down!
The biplane SPINS inside the BLOWING SAND. Engines ROARING.
Wind HOWLING. Jonathan and Ardeth Bay SCREAMING. Winston
Havlock LAUGHING.
WINSTON
Here I come, laddies!
O'Connell braces himself for impact,
SAHARA - DAY
Evelyn leaps to her feet and runs over to Imhotep.
EVELYN
Stop it! You'll kill them!
Imhotep grabs her, pulls her close, her beautiful eyes stare
into his shockingly intense ones. Then he kisses her, hard.
Evelyn's eyes widen, stunned and mesmerized, then she pushes
herself away and falls back into the sand. Imhotep laughs.EXT. BIPLANE - DUNES - DAY
The biplane SMASHES over a dune, ROLLS OVER and CRASHES
upside-down into another dune. The SAND SWIRLS as O'Connell
falls out of the gunner's compartment. The left wing is
jammed into the dune, Jonathan hangs upside down.
JONATHAN
Excuse me. ...A little help
would be useful. ...IF IT'S
NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE!!
O'Connell goes to help Jonathan. Ardeth Bay stumbles over to
the gunner's compartment and tears the Lewis gun off it's
mount. He throws the machine-gun over one shoulder, a
cartridge belt over the other and staggers away. O'Connell
and Jonathan look into the cockpit. Winston Havlock is dead.
A smile on his face. The plane suddenly starts to move, the
sand sinks under their feet, they quickly high-tail-it away.
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay make it to some rocks and
look back. The biplane, with Winston Havlock inside, slides
away over a dune. O'Connell gives it a salute. The plane
vanishes over the dune and into the SWIRLING SAND ...........
HAMUNAPTRA - DAY
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay come down a ravine in the
volcano and look out over the ruins of Hamunaptra.
O'CONNELL
Okay, now what the hell does
this Horus guy look like?
JONATHAN
He's a big fellow with pointy
ears and a face like a falcon.
O'CONNELL
Got it
HAMUNAPTRA STAIRWAY - DAY
Carrying TORCHES, O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay make
their way down a long, winding, narrow staircase. Heading
into the bowels of the necropolis. A passageway to hell.
NECROPOLIS - DAY
Evelyn follows Imhotep into the underground cemetery.
She stops at the sight of all the big hairy rats scurrying
through the mausoleums and over the gravestones. Beni shoves
his rifle into her back and pushes her forward.
BENI
Keep moving
Evelyn gives him a look.
EVELYN
You know, nasty little fellows
such as yourself, always get
their comeuppance.
Beni suddenly looks worried.
BENI
Yeah?
EVELYN
Oh yes, always,
Beni looks even more worried, he nervously starts chewing on
his lip. All three of them walk over the bridge crossing the
disgusting DETRITUS MOAT. Evelyn looks down at it, horrified.
INT. PASSAGEWAY - DAY
O'Connell and Ardeth Bay are busy digging out a collapsed
doorway. Jonathan notices an AMETHYST SCARAB on the far wall.
JONATHAN
I say, look at that.
He walks over and tries to jiggle it free. It comes loose in
his hand. He looks at the scarab in his palm. It starts to
glow. And then something inside it starts to WIGGLE.
JONATHAN
Say, gents! You should come
have a look at this.
The wiggling continues; a long, agonizing BEAT, and then the
scarab breaks out of it's cocoon and instantly BURROWS into
Jonathan's palm. Jonathan starts to freak out and SCREAM.
O'Connell runs up and rips the arm off Jonathan's shirt. The
scarab is now BURROWING UP JONATHAN'S ARM. O'Connell whips
out his butterfly-knife, snaps it open and grabs Jonathan's
arm. Jonathan's eyes widen in terror as the knife passes in
front of his face. Jonathan SCREAMS LOUDER, obviously being
cut open. O'Connell's hand flicks something away.
The scarab hits the floor and immediately starts scurrying
back towards Jonathan, wanting to finish the job.
O'Connell pulls out his gun and blows it away, --BLAM!
INT. CEMETERY - DAY
The GUNSHOT echoes into the cemetery as Imhotep, Evelyn and
Beni step6up to the strange ALTAR, where four thousand years
ago Imhotep tried to bring Anck-su-namun back to life.
Imhotep scowls at the sound and angrily reaches into a
CANOPIC JAR. He pulls out the crusted remains of Anck-su-
namun's heart, crushes it to dust in his hand and starts
reading from The Book Of The Dead. Then he BLOWS the dust
against a mausoleum wall, --THE WALL STARTS TO COME ALIVE.
Evelyn and Beni stare at the wall, both of them wide-eyed.
TWO FORMS emerge from the mausoleum's wall. Horrific-looking
mummified CORPSES. , Two of Imhotep's long dead Priests. They
bow to Imhotep,-then turn and move off down a passageway.
INT. PASSAGEWAY - DAY
O'Connell helps Ardeth Bay mend Jonathan's wound.
O'CONNELL
From now on, don't touch anything.
Not a damn thing. Keep your hands
off the furniture, got it?
Jonathan swallows hard and nods vigorously.

    The Mummy
PART 12INT. CEMETERY - DAY
Imhotep prepares the altar while speaking in HEBREW. Beni
holds his gun on her, translating:
BENI
Prince Imhotep wants your heart.
Evelyn blushes, feeling complimented by the handsome prince.
EVELYN
Tell him, I'm truly flattered.
... but that it's already taken.
Imhotep continues SPEAKING while laying the four jewel
encrusted canopic jars next to the shattered one.
BENI
He wants your heart and your
brain, your liver, your kidneys...
Evelyn's eyes widen
BENI
... and how do you say? Those
slimy things, in your stomach?
EVELYN
Intestines
BENI
Yeah! Them.
Evelyn can't believe it, she furiously turns to Imhotep.
EVELYN
You only want me for my organs?!
Imhotep looks at her and grins, then BACKHANDS her --WAP!
Evelyn goes down for the count. Imhotep stares at her, cold,
malevolent, then h e turns and walks off into the mausoleums.
Beni nervously glances around, then quickly scurries away.
TREASURE CHAMBER - DAY
O'Connell squeezes through a small crevice in a wall and
drops to the floor of a dark chamber. He picks up his gunny-
sack and scans the darkness. Something GLITTERS. Jonathan and
Ardeth Bay crawl in behind him.
O'Connell notices a SHAFT OF LIGHT, high above him, shooting
through a small hole in the ceiling and stopping against a
wall next to one of those mirror disks. O'Connell aims his
gun. FIRES. The bullet STRIKES the disk's pedestal, spinning
the mirror into the shaft of light, --And WHAM! THE SHAFT OF
LIGHT HITS THE DISK AND QUICKLY BOUNCES AROUND THE ROOM FROM
ONE DISK TO ANOTHER UNTIL THE WHOLE CHAMBER IS LIT UP.
It's an enormous TREASURE CHAMBER. Filled to overflowing.
Everything sparkles and shines. The wealth of Egypt.
O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay are speechless.
that's when the two mummified Priest-mummies walk in.
O'CONNELL
who the hell are these guys?
ARDETH BAY
Priests. Imhotep's priests.
O'Connell pulls the elephant gun out of his gunny-sack.
O'CONNELL
I never killed a priest before,
ARDETH BAY
They are evil, cursed, they
matter not.
O'CONNELL
Well, okay then.
O'Connell FIRES the elephant gun. SMOKE and FLAME shoot out.
BLASTS one of the mummies. Blows it's upper torso clean off.
O'Connell pumps the gun, the huge spent cartridge flips
through the air. He FIRES again. BLASTS the other mummy,
b1ows this one's torso clean off as well. The smoke clears.
The two sets of LEGS keep walking forward, unaffected by the
loss of their upper torsos. O'Connell can't believe it.
O'CONNELL
Oh come on, gimme a break here.
And then the disemboweled upper torsos start to move, turning
over and crawling towards our heroes, who start to back away.
INT. CEMETERY -DAY
Imhotep turns from the altar as he hears more GUNSHOTS
echoing out of the passageways. He angrily reaches into
another of Anck-su-namun's canopic jars, pulls out her crusty
liver and crushes it to dust, then quickly starts reading a
passage from the Book and BLOWS the dust down a passageway.
IMHOTEP (ancient Egyptian - subtitled)
Kill them! Kill them all! And
bring me the Book Of The Living!
INT. TREASURE CHAMBER - DAY
A dusty BREEZE blows into the chamber as O'Connell, Jonathan
and Ardeth Bay back away from the mummy pieces. The floor
where they were just standing suddenly STARTS TO MOVE. Two
more mummies slowly dig their way up out of the floor. More
mummies start coming out of the walls and crawling out of the
piles of gold. All the mummies head for our heroes. O'Connell
lifts the elephant gun. Ardeth Bay stops him.
ARDETH BAY
My turn.
Ardeth Bay OPENS UP with the Lewis gun. BLASTING the shit out
of the mummies. They keep on coming. Even more now. O'Connell
OPENS FIRE with the elephant gun, pumping and FIRING as all
three of the men back away and haul-ass. The mummies and
mummy pieces follow them into the passageway.
Then Beni creeps into the chamber. He stares in wonder at all
the treasure. Then falls backwards into a pile of jewels and
rolls about.
INT. CEMETERY - DAY
Evelyn-wakes up, lying chained to the top of the altar.
She blink!, then turns her head, --and looks right into
the ROTTED FACE of Anck-su-namun's corpse. Evelyn SCREAMS.
INT. LABYRINTH PASSAGEWAYS - DAY
The elephant gun FIRES, blasting FLAME and SMOKE right into
the LENS. O'Connell, Jonathan and Ardeth Bay race down a
passageway, a dozen mummies striding after them.
O'CONNELL
This whole place is comin, alive!
The men race around a corner. More mummies. They race around
another corner. More mummies. Onward they come. Methodical.
Relentless. Boxing in our heroes. O'Connell and Ardeth Bay
FIRING as they go. Ardeth Bay goes empty.
ARDETH BAY
I'm out
He throws the machine-gun down and they all race into--
HORUS CHAMBER - DAY
--A small chamber. The lower half of the giant statue of
HORUS stands in the middle of the chamber.
JONATHAN
There he is!
They run up to the base of the statue,
JONATHAN
Hello Horus old boy.
O'Connell looks back at the mummies coming down the
passageway. He reaches into his gunny-sack and pulls out
a stick of dynamite. Ardeth Bay taps him on the shoulder.
ARDETH BAY
Allow me.
O'Connell hands him the dynamite and a match, then turns to
look at the statue. Ardeth Bay reaches forward and strikes
the match off O'Connell's stubbly face. O'Connell YELPS.
Ardeth Bay lights the dynamite and throws it down the
passageway. They all hit the deck. The dynamite EXPLODES.
Ripping apart the creatures, causing a CAVE-IN and sealing
the passageway with rock and dirt. Now there's only one way
out, --another dark, creepy passageway.
INT. CEMETERY
Chained tight to the top of the altar, Evelyn hopelessly
struggles to free herself. She stops as Priest mummies start
surrounding the altar. Evelyn is horrified as the hideous
mummies kneel down and begin to CHANT, --which now sounds
even more horrific due to the lack of tongues, jaws and
mouths in the room.
Imhotep steps up carrying the black Book Of The Dead.
His hand reaches out and lovingly caresses Anck-su-namun's
decayed cheek.
INT. HORUS CHAMBER - DAY
O'Connell and Jonathan are digging away at the seams of the
secret compartment, it starts to give. And that's when Ardeth
Bay spots another group of rotting mummies coming down the
dark passageway, heading right for them. O'Connell looks up.
O'CONNELL
These guys just don't quit.
Ardeth Bay grabs the elephant gun and a handful of shells and
runs off towards the mummies.
ARDETH BAY
Keep digging!
O'Connell and Jonathan redouble their efforts, pulling harder
on the seam. The compartment starts to loosen. About to give.
The last time this happened, salt acid sprayed out, remember?
Our heroes keep tugging. The tension mounts ................
And that's when a SKELETAL HAND BURSTS UP OUT OF THE GROUND
and grabs O'Connell's ankle. Several more moldy hands BURST
up out of the ground. O'Connell and Jonathan struggle with
the mummies as they crawl up out of the dirt floor.
One of the mummies violently shoves O'Connell away. Another
grabs Jonathan by the throat and starts to strangle him. A
third mummy grabs at the secret compartment and pulls hard.
AN INTENSE BURST OF ACID SPRAYS OUT OF THE SEAM AND HITS ALL
THREE OF THE MUMMIES. The one strangling Jonathan gets it in
the back and drops him. All three mummies melt horribly.
INT. CEMETERY
Imhotep begins to read from The Book Of The Dead.
A large SWIRLING HOLE starts to open in the detritus bog.
Evelyn's eyes widen in amazement and horror.
IINT. HORUS CHAMBER - DAY
Ardeth Bay BLASTS AWAY at the oncoming mummies.
over at the base of the statue, O'Connell and Jonathan pull
an ornate chest out of the secret compartment. O'Connell rips
off the lid, reaches inside and pulls out a heavy burlap bag.
He and Jonathan exchange nervous, excited looks. Then he
reaches into the bag and slowly pulls out the SOLID GOLD Book
Of The Living- GOLDEN LIGHT reflects off their faces as they
stare at it in wonder.
The elephant gun goes empty. Ardeth Bay takes it by the
barrel and wades into the remaining mummies swinging.
ARDETH BAY
Save the girl! Kill the creature!
The mummies quickly overwhelm and start to tear him apart.
O'Connell lights the last stick of dynamite and throws it
against the far wall. He and Jonathan hit the deck.
O'CONNELL
That's the last one, we better
get lucky.
The wall BLOWS. Debris COLLAPSES, --but now here's a hole for
them to get out. O'Connell and Jonathan race out through the
hole just as the remaining mummies enter the chamber.
EXT. HAMUNAPTRA RUINS - DAY
Outside, Beni staggers across the sand with a saddlebag
filled with treasure. He throws it over the rear of a camel.
Starts to climb up. Hesitates. Looks back at the temple door.
Licks his lips. And then his greed gets the better of him and
he quickly climbs down and scurries back towards the door.

     The Mummy
PART 13INT. CEMETERY - DAY
Imhotep READS from the Book. The rotten Priest-mummies rock
back and forth, CHANTING. Evelyn struggles.
Then suddenly, the strange MIST wafts up out of the swirling
hole and over to the sacred jars, it passes through them and
into Evelyn. Evelyn JERKS as though she's been electrified.
The MIST passes through her and into Anck-su-namun's body.
The CHANTING PRIESTS, SWIRLING HOLE, WAFTING MIST and
IMHOTEPIS READINGS reach a crescendo. Anck-su-namun's crusty
EYELIDS suddenly POP OPEN. Evelyn stares at her in disbelief.
Anck-su-namun's rotted head turns and looks at Evelyn with
empty sockets. Evelyn freaks out and struggles wildly, then
she notices Imhotep holding the ancient sacrificial knife.
IMHOTEP (subtitled)
with your death, my love and
I will be invincible!
He raises it up over Evelyn's chest, about to plunge it down.
Evelyn's eyes widen in horror And that's when O'Connell
and Jonathan BURST IN. Imhotep spins around and faces them.
Jonathan beams as he holds up the golden Book Of The Living.
JONATHAN
I found it, Evy! I found it
EVELYN
Shut-up and get me off of here!
O'Connell grabs an ancient sword out of a statue's hand,
jumps up onto a gravestone and leaps out over the Priests.
The Priest-mummies stop chanting. The MIST vanishes.
Imhotep steps forward. O'Connell STRIKES the sacrificial
knife out of his hand. Imhotep BELLOWS a command. The Priests
stand up, swords and knives in hand, they ATTACK O'Connell.
EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT ONCE, READ FASTER:
EVELYN
Open the book, Jonathan! Open
the book! That's the only way
to kill him!
O'Connell RACKS and CHOPS at the attacking Priest-mummies,
fighting his way to Evelyn. The skeletal creatures wildly
SWING their swords, trying to STAB O'Connell. Jonathan
fumbles with the book, struggling to open it, --he can't.
JONATHAN
I can't open it! It's locked
or something!
O'Connell CUTS two of the mummies in half, then swings his
sword down at Evelyn, --CLANG! One chain breaks free.
Jonathan spots a series of SOLID GOLD, FOUR-SIDED LOCKS
along the binder. It hits him like lightning--
JONATHAN
We need the key!
Imhotep grins, then grabs the KEY/BOX hanging from a chain
around his neck, rips it off and shoves it into his pocket
He picks up the sacrificial sword and heads for Jonathan.
JONATHAN
What do I do, Evy!? What do I do!?
EVELYN
Read the inscription on the cover!
O'Connell swings his sword down again, --CLANG! Evelyn now
has one hand and one leg free. More mummies attack O'Connell
force him back.
Jonathan quickly starts translating the cover inscription,
but his ancient Egyptian is clearly awful.
JONATHAN
.Keetash-something, naraba-something.
Jonathan starts to backpedal through the cemetery, clutching
the golden book; wide-eyed, as Imhotep moves in on him.
JONATHAN
Ebarra im hatu Kashka ummmmm--?
Jonathan trips and falls on his ass. Imhotep CHARGES FORWARD.
O'Connell SLASHES another chain. Only one more left holding
Evelyn. Jonathan sits up and quickly looks back at the cover.
JONATHAN
Rasheem Aaaaa ANUBIS!
Imhotep raises the sacrificial sword, about to kill Jonathan.
And that's when the giant statue of Anubis suddenly CRASHES
through the wall, --shades of Ray Harryhausen. only better.
The god of Deaths, horrible, decrepit STONE FACE stares
angrily down. Jonathan stares back.
JONATHAN
Oh boy
O'Connell DECAPITATES a mummy and looks up at Anubis.
O'CONNELL (sarcastic)
This just keeps gettin,
better and better.
Imhotep leaves Jonathan and heads for the giant statue.
O'Connell leaps over and with one last swing of the sword,
frees Evelyn from her chains. More Priest-mummies attack,
forcing him away. Evelyn jumps off the altar and starts to
head for O'Connell, --a SKELETAL HAND grabs her! Spins her
around. It's Anck-su-namun's rotted corpse. Evelyn reacts.Imhotep looks up at Anubis, points to O'Connell, and in
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN commands him to attack. Anubis moves for
O'Connell, STOMPING over mausoleums and through the detritus
moat on his way. O'Connell quickly backs away.
O'CONNELL
Do something, Jonathan! Kill it!
JONATHAN
You have got to be joking?
Evelyn is backing away from Anck-su-namun.
EVELYN
Finish the inscription, idiot!
JONATHAN
Oh.
Anck-su-namun ATTACKS Evelyn. Evelyn fends her off as best
she can. Jonathan quickly looks back at the hieroglyphs on
the book cover, fumbling badly under the pressure-
JONATHAN
Ummm, Hootash im .... Hootash
im now what is this
last symbol here?
EVELYN
What's it look like!?
Anck-su-namun grabs Evelyn by the throat. The statue of
Anubis corners O'Connell, reaches down and GRABS him with
it's MASSIVE TALONS. O'Connell HACKS away at it. Jonathan
stares at the inscription, slightly oblivious.
JONATHAN
It's an Anck symbol, with two
little squiggly lines above it,
and a bird, a stork! on either side,
Evelyn is being STRANGLED by Anck-su-namun,
EVELYN
-Ah! Ah! Ahmenophus!
JONATHAN
Yes, ...I see.
The talons lift O'Connell up and start to CRUSH him.
JONATHAN
Hootash im Ahmenophus!
The giant statue of Anubis instantly freezes in it's tracks
and PETRIFIES. It's off balance. Starts to fall. O'Connell
slides free of it's talons. Evelyn SHOVES Anck-su-namun away,
Anck-su-namun looks up and opens her fetid mouth to scream
just as Anubis CRASHES DOWN on top of her, SMASHING HER to
powder and DRIVING her into the ground.
Imhotep SHRIEKS in rage and horror, then turns and angrily
heads for Jonathan. Jonathan, sitting on his ass, quickly
backpedals on his hands and heels.
O'Connell leaps to his feet, sword in hand and runs for
Imhotep. Imhotep grabs Jonathan, lifts him up, rips the
golden Book Of The Living out of his hand and pins him to a
wall.
O'Connell runs up and swings his sword at Imhotep, --WAP!
SLICES Imhotep's 'right arm off. It drops to the ground, still
clutching The Book Of The Living. Imhotep drops Jonathan and
spins around, facing O'Connell. O'Connell grins.
O'CONNELL
Okay pal, let's see how tough
you are without your right arm.
Imhotep grabs O'Connell with his left arm and THROWS him half
way across the cemetery. O'Connell SLAMS into a gravestone,
bounces off and crashes to the ground. He shakes it off.
O'CONNELL
Alright, ...so he's left handed
Imhotep is already striding towards him. Jonathan lifts up
his hand, --HE HAS THE KEY/BOX BACK! He smiles at Evelyn.
JONATHAN
I got it!
Evelyn runs for Jonathan.
O'Connell SWINGS his sword and CLEAVES a big chunk of molten
flesh rot out of Imhotep's stomach. on the outside, Imhotep
looks human, but on the inside he is still a rotten old mummy.
Imhotep BACKHANDS O'Connell. Knocks him twenty feet back.
O'Connell staggers to his feet. Imhotep is right there. CLUBS
him hard with his left arm. O'Connell spins through the air,
SLAMS into the side of a mausoleum. Imhotep approaches, rage
in his eyes. O'Connell gets up, quickly pivots and HACKS into
Imhotep's head. Imhotep grins and PUNCHES O'Connell in the
face. O'Connell is thrown back, pulling his sword with him.
He bounces hard off the mausoleum. Lands on his feet.
Totally beat-to-shit. Knees buckling. He can barely stand.
Jonathan lifts up the heavy gold book, --Imhotep's severed
hand still clings to it. Jonathan cringes in disgust. Evelyn
yanks it off, throws it away, then start furiously working
the key into the series of locks, unlocking each of them.
Imhotep strides forward. O'Connell backs into the mausoleum,
swings the sword, Imhotep tries to catch it, --it CLEAVES
through his palm and deeply imbeds itself into his forearm.
No matter, Imhotep rips the sword away from O'Connell and
casually flings it away.
The golden Book Of The Living opens with a HISS. Jonathan
holds it tight as Evelyn quickly turns the heavy gold pages
Looking for something.
O'Connell turns to run, but Imhotep grabs him by the throat
and lifts him off his feet. O'Connell hangs there, a dazed
mess. Imhotep grins, says something in ANCIENT EGYPTIAN, then
starts to strangle O'Connell. O'Connell chokes. About to die.
Evelyn turns and faces Imhotep and reads an inscription:
EVELYN
Kadeesh mal! Kadeesh mal!
Pared oos! PARED OOS!!
Imhotep pivots and looks at Evelyn, a look of sheer terror
on his face. Then he looks over at the detritus bog. Which
starts to BUBBLE and SHIFT. The SWIRLING HOLE begins to open.
And then suddenly THE SPIRITS OF THE EGYPTIAN GODS waft out
of the black bog and SWIRL around the Priest-mummies. The
mummies all collapse and turn to dust. And then the spirits
attack Imhotep. Lifting him and O'Connell up into the air.
Imhotep let's go of O'Connell, who falls to the ground.
Evelyn and Jonathan fearfully stumble away from the spirits,
Jonathan trips and falls and accidentally throws The Book of
The Living into the detritus bog. Evelyn watches as the
golden book sinks into the black putrescence. Jonathan looks
like he's about to cry.
Ten feet off the ground, the spirits SWIRL around Imhotep's
body, TWISTING IT and TURNING IT and slowly SHRIVELING IT.
Accompanied by the same strange FLASHING LIGHT we saw at the
beginning of the movie when Anck-su-namun was cursed. one
last HUGE FLASH, accompanied by a BLAST OF WIND, and Imhotep
is spit out and thrown to the floor. He staggers to his feet,
he looks perfectly normal. His body is completely intact.
O'Connell swings his sword. Imhotep jerks back. The sword
scrapes Imhotep's chest, --a swath of blood appears across
Imhotep's chest where the sword hit him. Imhotep touches the
blood on his chest, amazed and horrified. He's mortal.
O'Connell runs Imhotep through with the sword and shoves him
backwards. Imhotep stumbles back and falls into the detritus
bog. The sword still in his stomach.
Evelyn and Jonathan run up next to O'Connell. They watch as
Imhotep gently sinks into the fetid swamp, slowly dying. And
then, just before his head goes under, Imhotep looks up at
them, grins broadly, and says something in ANCIENT EGYPTIAN.
Evelyn translates:
EVELYN
Death is only the beginning.
Imhotep's grinning face vanishes under the black bile
STAFF CHAMBER - DAY
Beni staggers across a chamber, straining under the weight
of another saddlebag filled with treasure. He spots a large,
ornate STAFF sticking out of a wall. He throws the saddlebag
over the staff and collapses against the wall. Exhausted.
A BEAT. And then the weight of the treasure PULLS THE STAFF
DOWN. Which starts a massive AURAL CHAIN-REACTION.
Beni-backs away from the wall, wide-eyed, filled with fear.
ALL THE WALLS START TO SINK INTO THE GROUND. Driven by tons
of pouring sand. Beni turns and hauls-ass out of the chamber.
CEMETERY - DAY
O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan look around as all the walls
start to DESCEND. O'Connell grabs Evelyn's hand.
O'CONNELL
C'mon!
He pulls her forward and all three of them race past sinking
pillars. They duck as they run into a descending doorway.
INT. PASSAGEWAY - DAY
Beni scampers down a passageway, the ceiling getting lower
and lower until he has to crouch. And then he has to stick
the TORCH between his teeth and crawl on his hands and knees
INT. TREASURE CHAMBER - DAY
O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan crouch-run into the treasure
chamber. Evelyn skids to a stop. Looks in wonder at all the
treasure. SAND rains down on them. O'Connell grabs her again
and quickly pulls her through the mounds of treasure towards
a SINKING DOORWAY on the far side of the room. The SOUND of
the sinking walls is deafening.
Beni crouch-runs into the treasure chamber. O'Connell, Evelyn
and Jonathan race past him. He joins them as they run up a
staircase. heading for a DESCENDING DOORWAY, which is already
half gone, it's now only four feet high -- now three feet
high -- now two feet. Jonathan dives through the narrow gap.
Then O'Connell dives through, he spins around. Evelyn dives,
but gets stuck in the middle, about to get cut in half.
O'Connell grabs her arm and YANKS her through in the nick of
time. Beni reaches through the narrowing gap with his hand--
BENI
O'CONNELL!!
O'Connell grabs it, but it's too late. Beni yanks his hand
back just as the top of the door CRASHES to the floor.
Sealing him in. Beni quickly crawls back down the stairs as
the ceiling SLAMS down behind him. He stands up and looks
around with his diminishing torch.
All the doorways FINISH CLOSING. There's no way out. He's
trapped. And then he hears something, and turns around. Over
in the corner, a scarab-beetle stares at him, CHITTERING.
Beni waves his flickering torch at the scarab and backs away.
BENI
Go away
He stands in the middle of the treasure chamber as dozens
upon dozens of scarabs boil up out of the floor around him.
Beni is absolutely terrified. The scarabs start to move in.
And that's when Beni's torch goes out. PITCH BLACK. A BEAT.
And then we hear Beni start SCREAMING in horror and pain.
And the scarabs CHITTERING hungrily.
EXT. HAMUNAPTRA - DAY
The temple COLLAPSES as O'Connell, Evelyn, Jonathan and a
pack of stray camels race through the ruins. A SINKING
CREVICE DROPS OUT right behind them. Chasing them out through
the front gates. The whole place RUMBLES ominously.
They make it down the ramp as more ruins CRASH DOWN behind
them. A MASSIVE CLOUD OF SAND AND DUST billows out over the
wall and into the air. our heroes and all the stray camels
race out into the desert ..........
SLOW DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. PLATEALT - DAY
O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan stand in the middle of the
plateau, surrounded by stray camels. They stare off at the
sandy, dusty, volcano as it continues to RUMBLE-ominously.JONATHAN
Well, ...I guess we go home
empty handed.
O'Connell looks at Evelyn
O'CONNELL
Wouldn't say that.
Evelyn returns the look, A BEAT, and then she wraps-her
arms around his neck and kisses him. O'Connell ret urn s it.
Jonathan just rolls his eyes, snorts in disgust and climbs
up onto a camel.
When the kiss is-over, O'Connell and Evelyn share a smile,
then O'Connell leaps up into the saddle, reaches down, grabs
Evelyn's hand and pulls her up behind him. Evelyn wraps her
arms around his waist. O'Connell and Jonathan slap the reins.
O'CONNELL/JONATHAN
TUK-TUK-TUK!!
The camels start to move out. WE PAN DOWN: to the saddlebag
behind Evelyn, hidden under the closed back flap, --we can
see that it's filled with Beni's stolen TREASURE.
O'Connell, Evelyn and Jonathan ride off into the SUNSET.THE END
