Mummy Returns, The (2001) Movie Script
Five thousand years ago...
a fierce warrior known
as the Scorpion King...
led a great army on a campaign...
to conquer the known world.
After a vicious campaign
which lasted seven long years...
the Scorpion King and his army
were defeated...
and driven deep into
the sacred desert of Ahm Shere.
One by one, they slowly perished
Under the scorching sun...
until only the great warrior himself
was left alive.
Near death...
the Scorpion King made a pact
with the dark god Anubis...
that if Anubis
would spare his life...
and let him conquer his enemies...
he would give him his soul.
Anubis accepted his offer
And spared his life.
Anubis gave the Scorpion King
Command of his army...
and like an evil flood,
they washed away...
all that lay before them.
When his task was done...
Anubis forced the Scorpion King
to serve him for all time.
His army was returned
to the sands from whence they came...
where they wait, silently...
to be awakened once again.
Alex?
What were you thinking,
a mummy had come back to life?
Ill tell you a story some time.
What are you doing down here?
I told you to wait for us in the temple.
Its dangerous down here.
- But I saw your tattoo.
- You saw what?
On a wall by the entrance.
Theres a cartouche just like it.
With the pyramid and the eye...
and the two kings and everything.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Okay. Well, Ill be up to take
a look at that in a minute.
In the meantime, I want you
to wait for us up there.
Pick up your stuff,
and Ill see you up in the temple.
Go on.
And what should I do?
I dont know. Surprise me.
- Build a better mousetrap.
- Okay.
While your mother goes
and desecrates another tomb.
Go away.
- Those are poisonous, you know.
- Only if they bite you.
What was all that about?
Nothing.
Alex wanted to show me something.
I swear...
the kid gets more and more
like you every day.
You mean
more attractive, sweet...
and devilishly charming?
No, hes driving me crazy.
Now, where were we?
Hammer and chisel.
All right, all right!
Lets do it your way.
Thank you.
Ever since I had that dream...
this place is all
I can think about.
Ever since you had that dream,
I havent had a decent night of sleep.
I feel like Ive been here before.
I know Ive been here before.
Evy, nobodys been here before,
not in at least 3,000 years.
Except for these guys.
Then how do I seem to know
exactly where Im going?
Lets go.
Knock, knock. Anybody home?
You two check out that stuff,
see if its there.
Ill sort out the OConnells.
If you move that fast enough,
you can almost write your name.
I just had a vision.
It was like my dream,
but it was real.
It was like I was actually here
in ancient times.
Well, if you actually were here...
could you show me
how to open this thing?
Hold this.
- Now youre starting to scare me.
- Im starting to scare myself.
What is this?
Look at the state of this rubbish.
The Egyptians never had a clue.
Look at that stuff.
Its all chintz and stuff.
Look at that.
Cheap pottery, this.
Ancient rubbish.
Jacques,
somethings hit me head!
Shut up, Spivey.
This place is cursed.
We do not want to wake the gods.
Thats the emblem
of the Scorpion King.
Hes supposed to be pure myth.
No trace of him has ever been
found before. No artefacts.
No archival evidence.
- Lets open this.
- Evy, I dont know.
-I dont have a good feeling about this.
-Its only a chest.
No harm ever came
from opening a chest.
Right, and no harm ever came
from reading a book.
- Remember how that one went?
- Come on. We cant stop now.
Just remember,
I was the voice of reason here.
For once.
Rubbish.
Dreck. Chintz.
God, that hurt!
Hon? Lets do it your way.
The bracelet of Anubis.
Ill take care of this.
Oh, my God.
Its a bit late for that!
- Put it in your rucksack.
- Lets leave it here.
- Its a bit late for that!
- Whats it say?
""He who disturbs this bracelet...
shall drink from the Nile.``
That doesnt sound too bad.
Jacques is gonna make
a nice fillet out of you, my son.
Spivey! Jacques!
Lets get the hell out of here!
Come on.
This is bad, Evy.
- Weve had bad before.
- This is worse.
Mom? Dad?
I can explain everything.
The Book of the Dead gives life.
And the Book of the Living...
takes life away.
I thought that was my job.
Were getting close.
Did you acquire it?
Were getting very close.
We found him.
We found him! We found him!
Step aside there.
Out of the way.
Imhotep.
Its him. Its Imhotep.
Now we must raise
those that serve him.
Get out of my way.
Get out of the way.
Get out of my way
or Im gonna shoot you in the face.
He means it.
He shot someone before.
Give it to me.
The opportunity passed us by.
- We need that bracelet.
- We need it before it opens.
Enough.
My dear Hafez...
I told you
I should have handled it.
I did not want
your past history...
to cloud the issue.
Dont worry. We know where it is.
Well take care of it.
No, well take care of it.
I have a different chore
for you now.
Where is the bracelet?
Its on its way
to merry old London.
Then London is where we must go.
l think the bracelet
is some sort of guide...
to the lost oasis of Ahm Shere.
Evy, I know what youre thinking...
and the answers no.
We just got home.
Thats the beauty of it.
Were already packed.
Why dont you just give me
one good reason?
Its just an oasis...
darling.
A beautiful...
exciting...
romantic...
oasis.
The kind with the white, sandy beach
and the palm trees...
and the cool, clear, blue water?
We could have some of those big drinks
with the little umbrellas.
- Sounds good.
- Sounds too good. Whats the catch?
Supposedly its the resting place
of Anubis army.
You see? I knew theres a catch.
Theres always a catch.
How did I know that?
And let me guess.
It was commanded
by that Scorpion King guy?
Yes, but he only awakens
once every 5,000 years.
And if someone doesnt kill him,
hes gonna wipe out the world.
- How did you know?
- I didnt, but thats always the story.
The last known expedition
to actually reach Ahm Shere...
was sent by Ramses the Fourth
over 3,000 years ago.
- He sent over a thousand men.
- None of them was ever seen again.
- How did you know?
- I didnt, but thats always the story.
- Did I mention the pyramid of gold?
- Twice.
Alexander the Great
sent troops in search of it.
- Hooray for him.
- So did Caesar.
- Look what happened to his career.
- And Napoleon.
Yeah, but were smarter than him.
- Taller too.
- Exactly.
- Thats why were gonna find it.
- Because were taller?
- Thats why I love you.
- Nice try.
Mom!
What do I do with this chest?
Sucker weighs a god dang ton.
Alex, watch your language.
Rather weighty, this.
Evy, that first weird dream of yours
was exactly six weeks ago, right?
Yes, but whats that
got to do with anything?
It just happens to coincide
with Egyptian New Year.
Thats right.
What a coincidence.
Maybe.
All Im saying
is lets be cautious.
If anything happened to you,
I would never forgive myself.
You and Alex are the only thing
that matter to me.
Well...
the Bembridge scholars
have been begging me...
to run the British Museum.
Cripes, how do you get
this thing off?
Have I kissed you today?
I hate it when you do that.
Why?
- Makes me agree to anything.
- Anything?
Those knickers are not mine.
Jonathan.
Alex, behave yourself
for five minutes, all right?
You betcha.
- Happy to be home?
- Couldnt be happier.
Its the Year of the Scorpion.
- Neat.
- Thought you might like that.
So I killed the mummy and his minions
and stole his sceptre.
Oh, youre so brave.
And rich.
Did I mention rich?
What do you think Im doing here?
- Sorry, we must be in the wrong house.
- You said this was your house.
- I didnt.
- Call me!
- Youre not Sheilas husband?
- No.
If you work for Johnny,
I was gonna pay him back on Tuesday.
I dont know any Johnny.
We are looking for
the bracelet of Anubis.
Oh, good for you. Good thing to have,
the old bracelet of Anubis.
Where is it?
Ah, youre looking here
for the bracelet. I see.
I have no idea
what youre talking about.
Mr. OConnell,
you try my patience.
Mr. OConnell? Hold on a minute.
Youve got the wrong ma--
That bracelet.
Now I remember.
- I lost it in a card game.
- For your sake, I hope not.
It cant be.
- Wheres your wife?
- My wife?
You mean Evy.
I think she went off to Baden-Baden
or Tibet or something.
The girls a free spirit.
Did I mention I was single now?
Egyptian asps
are quite poisonous.
Its downstairs.
Theres a safe.
The combination is 3-20-58.
Its in the safe downstairs.
I told you!
And your point is?
- I told you so you wouldnt kill me.
- When did we make that arrangement?
Jonathan, I thought I said
no more wild parties.
Well, when youre popular--
Im serious. If youve lost
that key, youre grounded.
I havent lost it. I just cant find it.
Theres a difference.
Well, you better
start finding it then.
I will, Mom.
Theres nothing to worry about.
Good evening.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Im looking for the chest,
of course.
Give it to me now.
Get out of my house.
Whoa, Mom.
- Maybe not the best idea.
- Alex, get back there.
Definitely not the best idea.
I think its time
to yell for Dad now.
- I will kill you and take it anyway.
- I think not.
Ardeth.
What are you doing here?
Perhaps explanations
are best kept for later.
Ardeth Bay.
Lock-Nah.
Hey, folks,
knowing my brother-in-law...
he probably deserves whatever
youre about to do to him...
but this is my house.
I have certain rules
about snakes and dismemberment.
Shoot him!
Whoa, Mom!
- Where did you learn to do that?
- I have no idea.
That I learned from your father.
Ill take that.
Not bad for a Medjai.
Let go!
- Whats in the chest?
- The bracelet of Anubis!
They must not get the bracelet.
Get it and get out of here!
Mom, look out!
Evelyn!
Whatd you do this time?
I havent done anything
to anybody.
- Lately.
- Come on!
Rick!
Look out, Rick!
Dad! Dad!
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
What the hell are you doing here?
Scratch that. I dont care.
Who are those guys
and where are they taking my wife?
My friend, Im not sure...
but wherever this man is...
your wife will surely be.
Hey, I know him.
Hes the curator.
- He works at the British Museum.
- Are you sure?
Better believe him. He spends more
time there than he does at home.
Okay, youre here.
The bad guys are here.
Evy`s been kidnapped.
Let me guess.
They once again removed
the creature from his grave.
Not to point fingers, but isnt it your
job to make sure that doesnt happen?
That woman with him knows things
no living person could possibly know.
She knew exactly where
the creature was buried.
We hoped she would lead us to
the bracelet. She obviously did.
Now they have it.
I wouldnt get
too nervous just yet.
Is that gold?
When I stuck it on,
I saw the pyramids at Giza.
Then whoosh-- straight across
the desert to Karnak.
You have started a chain reaction that
could bring about the next apocalypse.
You, lighten up.
You, big trouble.
You, get in the car.
I am sorry if I alarmed your son,
but you must understand.
Now that the bracelets on...
we have
We? What we?
If he is not killed,
he will raise the Army of Anubis.
- I take it thats not a good thing.
- Oh, hell wipe out the world.
The old ""wipe out the world`` ploy.
Who never can kill
the Scorpion King...
can send his army back
to the Underworld...
or use it to destroy mankind
and rule the Earth.
They dug up Imhotep `cause hes tough
enough to take out the Scorpion King.
That is their plan.
Alex, I got a big job for you.
Stay here and protect the car.
- I could do that.
- Protect the car?
Come on. Just because Im a kid
doesnt mean Im stupid.
- I know.
- Dad!
If you see anyone come running out
screaming, it`s just me.
Maybe you should stay here
and watch him.
Now youre talking.
- You want the shotgun?
- No, I prefer the Thompson.
If I were to say to you, Im a stranger
travelling from the east...
seeking that which is lost--
Then I would reply that I am
a stranger travelling from the west.
Go, go, go!
Oh, no. Not these guys again.
What are we gonna do?
Youre asking me?
Im only eight years old!
Honey, what you doin`?
These guys dont use doors.
Where the hell`s Jonathan?
- Alex!
- Whats the matter with my car?
I was forced to find an alternative
means of transportation.
- A double-decker bus?
- It was his idea.
- Was not!
- Was too!
-Just go!
- It was too!
No, not my car!
Oh, I hate mummies.
- Glad to see me now?
-Just like old times, huh?
Turn, turn!
No! Get out of the way!
Look out!
Great driving, Uncle Jon.
Yeah.
You all right?
This was my first bus ride.
- What would I do without you?
- Are all librarians this much trouble?
Jeez, get a room.
Let me go!
Silence!
Stop!
Please do not fear
for your son, my friends.
They cannot hurt him,
for he wears the bracelet of Anubis.
Alex is wearing the bracelet?
When he put it on, he said he saw the
pyramids at Giza, the temple at Karnak.
At Karnak, the bracelet will show him
the next step of the journey.
If we dont get to Karnak before them,
we wont know where to look for him.
Seems to me...
like we need a magic carpet.
When Lord Imhotep last
encountered the OConnells...
they sent his immortal soul
to the Underworld.
As powerful as he will become,
he is still vulnerable.
Only with the Army of Anubis
will he be invincible.
He will need your help.
Keep this with you always.
The Book of the Dead!
What a bright little child.
Your mother must be
missing you terribly.
If you wish to see her again,
youd better behave.
Lady, I dont behave
for my parents.
What makes you think
Im going to do it for you?
Silence!
Because your parents wouldnt slip
poisonous snakes into your bed...
while you were sleeping.
Lord Imhotep wishes
to meet the boy.
Now we shall see
how brave you are.
Hey, watch the suit.
Ow! Me fingers.
Nice.
Very nice.
Did you acquire what we asked?
We acquired it, all right.
You know what?
We had to kill two of those guards
at the mausoleum to acquire it.
This chest is cursed.
It says there is one...
the undead...
who will kill all those
who open this chest.
Yes, and the creature will suck them dry
then become whole again.
Weve all heard this story before.
Yeah, but I heard the Yanks
who found it nine years ago all died.
Horrible deaths, they were.
- So with that in mind--
- We want ten.
Quiet!
The agreement was for five.
Well, we want ten
or well take it elsewhere.
- If you--
- Ten will be just fine.
Follow me, gentlemen.
Get in.
it is you
who are the chosen one...
you who will take me
to Ahm Shere.
What if I dont?
What if I get a little lost?
You have strength, little one.
You are your fathers son,
but I know something you dont.
This bracelet is a gift...
and a curse.
The sands of time...
have already begun
to pour against you.
Yeah, I already heard this part.
From the minute
I put the bracelet on...
seven days do I have
before the Scorpion King wakes up.
Did you also hear that if you
do not enter the pyramid...
before the sun strikes it
on that very morning...
that the bracelet
will suck the life out of you?
That part I missed.
Hey, wait a minute. That means
Ive only got five days left.
Then I believe it will be best
if we do not get lost, dont you?
My dad is going to kick your ass.
I do not think so.
In here, gentlemen,
you shall receive your just rewards.
No tricks now, woman.
Were not givin` up this chest
till were satisfied.
Dont worry.
There is much satisfaction to be had.
Whats going on?
This place is cursed.
- What is it with you and curses?
- He ain`t happy without a good curse.
""This is cursed. That is cursed.``
Give it a rest, will ya?
Christ!
He wants you to open the chest.
Open the chest!
Whered he go?
Whered he go?
- This is the magic carpet?
- Itll be fine. Hes a professional.
Izzy!
He definitely remembers you.
Hes a little shy.
Jonathan, get our bags.
- Oh, my hands are full.
- Now.
- Right. Ill get the bags.
- Ill deal with the flight details.
- Honey, youre not a subtle man.
- We dont have time for subtle.
Izzy, come here.
- Doesnt look happy to see you.
- Never turned me down yet.
Whatever it is, whatever you need,
I dont care. Forget it, OConnell.
Every time I hook up with you,
I get shot.
Last time I got shot in the ass.
Im in mourning for my ass.
- Remember that bank job in Marrakesh?
- Bank job?
- Its not like it sounds.
- Its exactly how it sounds.
Im flying high,
hiding in the sun.
The white boy here flags me down,
so I fly in low for the pick-up.
The next thing you know,
I get shot.
Im lying in the middle of the road
with my spleen hanging out...
and I see him waltzing up
with some belly dancer girl.
Belly dancer girl?
- Izzy, I think you and I should talk.
- As long as I dont get shot.
Quit your whining.
Youre gonna get paid this time.
Have you looked around here any?
What do I need money for?
What the hell am I
gonna spend it on?
Im gonna keep this short.
My little boys out there.
Im gonna do whatever it takes
to get him back.
If you give me that gold stick,
you can shave my head...
wax my legs
and use me for a surfboard.
Didnt we do that in Tripoli?
Say, by the way,
when did you lose your eye?
I didnt. I just thought
it made me look more dashing.
Come on. Get to work.
- Youre not catching me at my best.
- Oh, Im sure I am.
I knew it.
Im gonna get shot.
These are the commanders
of the 1 2 tribes of the Medjai.
Horus.
Pet bird.
My best and most clever friend.
He will let the commanders know
of our progress so that they may follow.
If the Army of Anubis arises...
they will do all they can
to stop it.
- Are you sure Izzy is reliable?
- Yeah, hes reliable-ish.
- Isnt she beautiful?
- Its a balloon.
Its a dirigible.
- Wheres your airplane?
- Airplanes are a thing of the past.
- Izzy, you were right.
- I was?
Yeah, youre gonna get shot.
Shes faster than she looks.
And shes real quiet.
Perfect for sneaking up on people,
which is a very good thing.
Unless, of course,
we go with your approach--
barging in face first, guns blazing,
gettin` your friends shot in the ass.
Why cant you people ever
keep your feet on the ground?
OConnell does not want to believe,
but he flies like Horus to his destiny.
Yes, very interesting.
Tell me more about this gold pyramid.
It is written that since
the time of the Scorpion King...
no man who has laid eyes upon it
has ever returned to tell the tale.
Where is all this stuff written?
Hello!
Got it.
Pretty nice, eh?
This is all I have left
in the world.
The rest of my fortune was lost...
to some rather unscrupulous
characters, actually.
If the curator reacted the way you say,
it must be very important.
If I were you,
I would keep it close.
My friend, the gods
couldnt take this away from me.
- Thats mine.
- No, its not!
Keep your hands off it.
I want him back, Rick.
I want him in my arms.
I know.
We taught him well.
Hes smarter than you.
Hes tougher than me.
- I love him so much, I just cant--
- I know. We both do.
Alex knows that.
Ill get him back, Evy.
I promise.
I know you will.
- Are we there yet?
- No.
That was amazing.
Perfect aim.
What are you talking about?
I missed.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Make it quick.
Hurry up.
- Hey, reading material!
- Now!
I cant go when someones watching.
I dont trust you.
Youll look.
Darn!
Oh, my God!
Doesnt anyone around here know
how to flush a toilet?
Karnak.
If a man does not embrace his past,
he has no future.
Look...
even if I was some sort
of sacred Medjai...
what good does that do me now?
It is the missing piece
of your heart.
If you embrace it and accept it,
you can do anything.
Sounds great.
Listen, what can we expect
from our old friend Imhotep?
His powers are returning quickly.
When he reaches Ahm Shere, even the
Scorpion King wont be able to stop him.
Evy, I know you havent been yourself
lately with these dreams and visions--
No, theyre memories
from my previous life.
Honestly, Im not losing my mind.
It all makes perfect sense now.
- Thats why we found the bracelet?
- Exactly.
- I was its protector.
- Now do you believe, my friend?
Clearly, you were destined
to protect this woman.
Right. Shes a reincarnated princess,
and Im a warrior for God.
Your son leads the way to Ahm Shere.
Three sides of the pyramid.
This was all preordained
thousands of years ago.
And how does the story end?
Only the journey`s written,
not the destination.
Convenient.
How else do you explain
Evy`s visions?
That it is your son
who wears the bracelet?
- How do you explain your mark?
- Coincidence.
My friend, there is a fine line
between coincidence and fate.
Dont even think about it.
Hold on there, partner.
When the time comes...
I shall truly enjoy killing you.
But until that time...
youd better be
a little nicer to me.
Now, wheres my water?
No ice?
Make sure he doesnt move!
Theyve gone.
Weve lost them.
Alex left us his tie...
and he made us
a little sand castle.
Its the Temple Island of Philae.
- Theyve gone to Philae.
- Attaboy, Alex. Come on!
The great temple of Abu Simbel.
Thats the Blue Nile down there.
We must be out of Egypt by now.
In ancient times, all this
still belonged to the upper kingdom.
The oasis must be
around here somewhere.
Dont worry. Well find him.
Hes a smart kid.
Hell leave us a sign.
Surprised to see me?
Leaving bread crumbs, huh?
Were in trouble!
Horus, fly!
Izzy, come hard right!
Starboard! Starboard!
Was there a little something
you forgot to mention?
People?
Ahm Shere.
Right.
Hes back!
Hang on!
Well, thats not good.
Hang on!
Mom?
Dad?
Were gonna go get my son.
Then were gonna want to get out of here
fast, so make this work, Izzy.
You dont understand. This thing was
filled with gas. Not hot air, gas.
I need gas to get this thing in the air.
Where am I gonna get gas around here?
Bananas? Mangoes?
Tarzans ass?
Maybe I could finagle it
to take hot air.
But do you know how many cubic meters
Id need? Its too big!
If anybody can fill this thing up
with hot air, Izzy, its you.
Come to Daddy.
So, Rick, whats the plan?
Lets find some higher ground.
- I must go.
- Where?
To tell the commanders where we are.
- If the Army of Anubis arises--
- I need you to help me find my son.
Then first I shall help you.
Thank you.
Look. Roman legionnaires.
And here, turn-of-the-century French.
Napoleons troops.
What in the name of Anubis did this?
- You hear that?
- What?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
My word!
I say, chaps, look at this.
Shrunken heads.
Id love to know how they do that.
Just curious.
You any good with that?
Three times Fox and Hound`s
grand champion. You any good with that?
Youll know soon enough...
because the only way to kill an Anubis
warrior is by taking off its head.
Ill remember that.
Try to remember to...
just keep it tight
in the shoulder and...
lead the target a little bit,
and then...
squeeze the trigger--
dont pull it.
I wont miss.
Pyramid.
Cripes, Im in trouble now.
Now may I kill him?
- Retrieve that bracelet.
- With pleasure.
Something is coming.
Thats my husband
and my son down there.
Make me proud.
Todays that day, Evy.
Wheres the boy?
The Black Book!
Lets go!
There you are!
The time has come,
my little friend.
Let go!
- Dad!
- Alex!
Time to remove that bracelet,
my good son.
Behind you!
- Lets go.
- Thank God for that.
The two of you must
sacrifice yourselves for me.
You shall be rewarded in heaven!
Nice shootin`, Tex.
- What were those creepy pygmy things?
-Just the local natives.
- Are you sure?
- Im sure. It was nothing.
Come on, Mom. Come on, Dad.
We have to get to the pyramid.
I have to get the bracelet off now!
Leave it on.
Looks good on you.
No, you guys, you dont understand.
Itll kill me if I dont get inside
the pyramid before the sun hits it...
today!
Oh, my God.
Time to go!
I thought you said
it was nothing!
Where`s Jonathan?
Look! Theres a burial ground!
Were safe! Were safe!
Theyll never cross
those sacred stones!
- You are sure?
- Yes, of course Im sure.
Sorry. My mistake.
- Wait for me!
- Hurry up, Jonathan!
Wait for me!
-Whats that for?
-Just something in case of an emergency.
Lets go, Alex.
Run! Come on, Alex, faster!
Dad! The bracelet!
Come on! Come on!
You know...
its not easy being a dad.
Yeah, but you do it really good.
Thanks.
They made it.
Thank God.
Yes. Great.
Fabulous.
-Shes going to be all right, isnt she?
-Shell be fine.
Take him.
Mommys fine.
Its okay.
Your mothers
going to be fine. Okay?
Youre real strong.
Youre gonna make it.
Youre fine.
What do I do?
Take care of Alex.
Sweetheart, no.
I love you.
Come back, Evy.
Come back.
Stay here.
Try to think of it
like this, Alex.
Shes gone to a better place.
- Like it says in the good book.
- The book!
- What?
- Thats it.
- Thats it!
- Thats what?
Come on, Uncle Jon!
Thats it! The book!
Youre too late, OConnell.
I have released
the Army of Anubis.
Lord Imhotep shall soon
kill the Scorpion King...
and take command.
Not after I get through with him.
You realize, of course,
that this can only be done...
by someone who can actually read
ancient Egyptian.
I dont know about you,
but Im a tad rusty.
- Now where?
- We go right.
How do you know?
Basically,
""This way to the Scorpion King.``
Mum taught me.
This just might work.
Its time someone taught you
a lesson, wench. Come on.
This is for my sister.
Is that all youve got?
Hurry up, Alex!
Uncle Jon, I dont know
what this last symbol is!
Whats it look like?
Its a bird. A stork!
I know that one!
I know that one!
Then what is it?
Thats it!
Why dont you pick on somebody
your own size?
Oh, my God.
- Evy!
- Take Alex. Go and help Rick.
- But, Mom--
- No ""buts.``
Come on.
Ill be just fine.
- We did it, Uncle Jon!
- Right, partner.
Now lets go help your dad.
Thats a little something new.
My lord!
Save me! Save me!
Okay, now Im a believer.
Its a spear!
The golden stick thing!
Its a spear!
Really?
Doesnt look like a spear!
Thats because
it opens up into one!
Yes? And?
It opens up into a spear!
- Twist it!
- Push!
You have to pull!
Jonathan, quick!
Throw it!
Kill the Scorpion King!
Send his army
back to the Underworld!
Step aside, Alex.
Im a professional.
Go to hell,
and take your friends with you!
Get out of here!
Just get out of here!
Hang on, Rick!
Lets go up!
This whole damn place is gonna
get sucked up! Lets move up! Go!
Go, Alex!
Rick, were trapped!
Get your butts moving! Hurry up!
I havent got all day!
Youre next! Go!
Jonathan! Hold on!
- Pull him up!
- Pull me up!
Wait! Wait!
Let me down! Let me down!
- Its not worth your life, you idiot!
- Yes, it is! Yes, it is!
Right.
Pull me up! Pull me up!
- OConnell, you almost got me killed!
- At least you didnt get shot.
Thank you! Thank you!
OConnell, who the hell have you
been messing with this time, huh?
You know, the usual.
Mummies, pygmies...
big bugs.
I thought
I almost lost you there.
For a moment there, you did.
Would you like to know
what heaven looks like?
Later.
- Oh, please!
- Oh, please!
- Thats half mine, you know.
- What?
- Thats half mine.
- What are you talking about?
You took my gold stick!
I swear on the head of my wife, I have
no idea what youre talking about.
You aunt got a wife!
I dont have
your gold stick either!
a fierce warrior known
as the Scorpion King...
led a great army on a campaign...
to conquer the known world.
After a vicious campaign
which lasted seven long years...
the Scorpion King and his army
were defeated...
and driven deep into
the sacred desert of Ahm Shere.
One by one, they slowly perished
Under the scorching sun...
until only the great warrior himself
was left alive.
Near death...
the Scorpion King made a pact
with the dark god Anubis...
that if Anubis
would spare his life...
and let him conquer his enemies...
he would give him his soul.
Anubis accepted his offer
And spared his life.
Anubis gave the Scorpion King
Command of his army...
and like an evil flood,
they washed away...
all that lay before them.
When his task was done...
Anubis forced the Scorpion King
to serve him for all time.
His army was returned
to the sands from whence they came...
where they wait, silently...
to be awakened once again.
Alex?
What were you thinking,
a mummy had come back to life?
Ill tell you a story some time.
What are you doing down here?
I told you to wait for us in the temple.
Its dangerous down here.
- But I saw your tattoo.
- You saw what?
On a wall by the entrance.
Theres a cartouche just like it.
With the pyramid and the eye...
and the two kings and everything.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Okay. Well, Ill be up to take
a look at that in a minute.
In the meantime, I want you
to wait for us up there.
Pick up your stuff,
and Ill see you up in the temple.
Go on.
And what should I do?
I dont know. Surprise me.
- Build a better mousetrap.
- Okay.
While your mother goes
and desecrates another tomb.
Go away.
- Those are poisonous, you know.
- Only if they bite you.
What was all that about?
Nothing.
Alex wanted to show me something.
I swear...
the kid gets more and more
like you every day.
You mean
more attractive, sweet...
and devilishly charming?
No, hes driving me crazy.
Now, where were we?
Hammer and chisel.
All right, all right!
Lets do it your way.
Thank you.
Ever since I had that dream...
this place is all
I can think about.
Ever since you had that dream,
I havent had a decent night of sleep.
I feel like Ive been here before.
I know Ive been here before.
Evy, nobodys been here before,
not in at least 3,000 years.
Except for these guys.
Then how do I seem to know
exactly where Im going?
Lets go.
Knock, knock. Anybody home?
You two check out that stuff,
see if its there.
Ill sort out the OConnells.
If you move that fast enough,
you can almost write your name.
I just had a vision.
It was like my dream,
but it was real.
It was like I was actually here
in ancient times.
Well, if you actually were here...
could you show me
how to open this thing?
Hold this.
- Now youre starting to scare me.
- Im starting to scare myself.
What is this?
Look at the state of this rubbish.
The Egyptians never had a clue.
Look at that stuff.
Its all chintz and stuff.
Look at that.
Cheap pottery, this.
Ancient rubbish.
Jacques,
somethings hit me head!
Shut up, Spivey.
This place is cursed.
We do not want to wake the gods.
Thats the emblem
of the Scorpion King.
Hes supposed to be pure myth.
No trace of him has ever been
found before. No artefacts.
No archival evidence.
- Lets open this.
- Evy, I dont know.
-I dont have a good feeling about this.
-Its only a chest.
No harm ever came
from opening a chest.
Right, and no harm ever came
from reading a book.
- Remember how that one went?
- Come on. We cant stop now.
Just remember,
I was the voice of reason here.
For once.
Rubbish.
Dreck. Chintz.
God, that hurt!
Hon? Lets do it your way.
The bracelet of Anubis.
Ill take care of this.
Oh, my God.
Its a bit late for that!
- Put it in your rucksack.
- Lets leave it here.
- Its a bit late for that!
- Whats it say?
""He who disturbs this bracelet...
shall drink from the Nile.``
That doesnt sound too bad.
Jacques is gonna make
a nice fillet out of you, my son.
Spivey! Jacques!
Lets get the hell out of here!
Come on.
This is bad, Evy.
- Weve had bad before.
- This is worse.
Mom? Dad?
I can explain everything.
The Book of the Dead gives life.
And the Book of the Living...
takes life away.
I thought that was my job.
Were getting close.
Did you acquire it?
Were getting very close.
We found him.
We found him! We found him!
Step aside there.
Out of the way.
Imhotep.
Its him. Its Imhotep.
Now we must raise
those that serve him.
Get out of my way.
Get out of the way.
Get out of my way
or Im gonna shoot you in the face.
He means it.
He shot someone before.
Give it to me.
The opportunity passed us by.
- We need that bracelet.
- We need it before it opens.
Enough.
My dear Hafez...
I told you
I should have handled it.
I did not want
your past history...
to cloud the issue.
Dont worry. We know where it is.
Well take care of it.
No, well take care of it.
I have a different chore
for you now.
Where is the bracelet?
Its on its way
to merry old London.
Then London is where we must go.
l think the bracelet
is some sort of guide...
to the lost oasis of Ahm Shere.
Evy, I know what youre thinking...
and the answers no.
We just got home.
Thats the beauty of it.
Were already packed.
Why dont you just give me
one good reason?
Its just an oasis...
darling.
A beautiful...
exciting...
romantic...
oasis.
The kind with the white, sandy beach
and the palm trees...
and the cool, clear, blue water?
We could have some of those big drinks
with the little umbrellas.
- Sounds good.
- Sounds too good. Whats the catch?
Supposedly its the resting place
of Anubis army.
You see? I knew theres a catch.
Theres always a catch.
How did I know that?
And let me guess.
It was commanded
by that Scorpion King guy?
Yes, but he only awakens
once every 5,000 years.
And if someone doesnt kill him,
hes gonna wipe out the world.
- How did you know?
- I didnt, but thats always the story.
The last known expedition
to actually reach Ahm Shere...
was sent by Ramses the Fourth
over 3,000 years ago.
- He sent over a thousand men.
- None of them was ever seen again.
- How did you know?
- I didnt, but thats always the story.
- Did I mention the pyramid of gold?
- Twice.
Alexander the Great
sent troops in search of it.
- Hooray for him.
- So did Caesar.
- Look what happened to his career.
- And Napoleon.
Yeah, but were smarter than him.
- Taller too.
- Exactly.
- Thats why were gonna find it.
- Because were taller?
- Thats why I love you.
- Nice try.
Mom!
What do I do with this chest?
Sucker weighs a god dang ton.
Alex, watch your language.
Rather weighty, this.
Evy, that first weird dream of yours
was exactly six weeks ago, right?
Yes, but whats that
got to do with anything?
It just happens to coincide
with Egyptian New Year.
Thats right.
What a coincidence.
Maybe.
All Im saying
is lets be cautious.
If anything happened to you,
I would never forgive myself.
You and Alex are the only thing
that matter to me.
Well...
the Bembridge scholars
have been begging me...
to run the British Museum.
Cripes, how do you get
this thing off?
Have I kissed you today?
I hate it when you do that.
Why?
- Makes me agree to anything.
- Anything?
Those knickers are not mine.
Jonathan.
Alex, behave yourself
for five minutes, all right?
You betcha.
- Happy to be home?
- Couldnt be happier.
Its the Year of the Scorpion.
- Neat.
- Thought you might like that.
So I killed the mummy and his minions
and stole his sceptre.
Oh, youre so brave.
And rich.
Did I mention rich?
What do you think Im doing here?
- Sorry, we must be in the wrong house.
- You said this was your house.
- I didnt.
- Call me!
- Youre not Sheilas husband?
- No.
If you work for Johnny,
I was gonna pay him back on Tuesday.
I dont know any Johnny.
We are looking for
the bracelet of Anubis.
Oh, good for you. Good thing to have,
the old bracelet of Anubis.
Where is it?
Ah, youre looking here
for the bracelet. I see.
I have no idea
what youre talking about.
Mr. OConnell,
you try my patience.
Mr. OConnell? Hold on a minute.
Youve got the wrong ma--
That bracelet.
Now I remember.
- I lost it in a card game.
- For your sake, I hope not.
It cant be.
- Wheres your wife?
- My wife?
You mean Evy.
I think she went off to Baden-Baden
or Tibet or something.
The girls a free spirit.
Did I mention I was single now?
Egyptian asps
are quite poisonous.
Its downstairs.
Theres a safe.
The combination is 3-20-58.
Its in the safe downstairs.
I told you!
And your point is?
- I told you so you wouldnt kill me.
- When did we make that arrangement?
Jonathan, I thought I said
no more wild parties.
Well, when youre popular--
Im serious. If youve lost
that key, youre grounded.
I havent lost it. I just cant find it.
Theres a difference.
Well, you better
start finding it then.
I will, Mom.
Theres nothing to worry about.
Good evening.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Im looking for the chest,
of course.
Give it to me now.
Get out of my house.
Whoa, Mom.
- Maybe not the best idea.
- Alex, get back there.
Definitely not the best idea.
I think its time
to yell for Dad now.
- I will kill you and take it anyway.
- I think not.
Ardeth.
What are you doing here?
Perhaps explanations
are best kept for later.
Ardeth Bay.
Lock-Nah.
Hey, folks,
knowing my brother-in-law...
he probably deserves whatever
youre about to do to him...
but this is my house.
I have certain rules
about snakes and dismemberment.
Shoot him!
Whoa, Mom!
- Where did you learn to do that?
- I have no idea.
That I learned from your father.
Ill take that.
Not bad for a Medjai.
Let go!
- Whats in the chest?
- The bracelet of Anubis!
They must not get the bracelet.
Get it and get out of here!
Mom, look out!
Evelyn!
Whatd you do this time?
I havent done anything
to anybody.
- Lately.
- Come on!
Rick!
Look out, Rick!
Dad! Dad!
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
What the hell are you doing here?
Scratch that. I dont care.
Who are those guys
and where are they taking my wife?
My friend, Im not sure...
but wherever this man is...
your wife will surely be.
Hey, I know him.
Hes the curator.
- He works at the British Museum.
- Are you sure?
Better believe him. He spends more
time there than he does at home.
Okay, youre here.
The bad guys are here.
Evy`s been kidnapped.
Let me guess.
They once again removed
the creature from his grave.
Not to point fingers, but isnt it your
job to make sure that doesnt happen?
That woman with him knows things
no living person could possibly know.
She knew exactly where
the creature was buried.
We hoped she would lead us to
the bracelet. She obviously did.
Now they have it.
I wouldnt get
too nervous just yet.
Is that gold?
When I stuck it on,
I saw the pyramids at Giza.
Then whoosh-- straight across
the desert to Karnak.
You have started a chain reaction that
could bring about the next apocalypse.
You, lighten up.
You, big trouble.
You, get in the car.
I am sorry if I alarmed your son,
but you must understand.
Now that the bracelets on...
we have
We? What we?
If he is not killed,
he will raise the Army of Anubis.
- I take it thats not a good thing.
- Oh, hell wipe out the world.
The old ""wipe out the world`` ploy.
Who never can kill
the Scorpion King...
can send his army back
to the Underworld...
or use it to destroy mankind
and rule the Earth.
They dug up Imhotep `cause hes tough
enough to take out the Scorpion King.
That is their plan.
Alex, I got a big job for you.
Stay here and protect the car.
- I could do that.
- Protect the car?
Come on. Just because Im a kid
doesnt mean Im stupid.
- I know.
- Dad!
If you see anyone come running out
screaming, it`s just me.
Maybe you should stay here
and watch him.
Now youre talking.
- You want the shotgun?
- No, I prefer the Thompson.
If I were to say to you, Im a stranger
travelling from the east...
seeking that which is lost--
Then I would reply that I am
a stranger travelling from the west.
Go, go, go!
Oh, no. Not these guys again.
What are we gonna do?
Youre asking me?
Im only eight years old!
Honey, what you doin`?
These guys dont use doors.
Where the hell`s Jonathan?
- Alex!
- Whats the matter with my car?
I was forced to find an alternative
means of transportation.
- A double-decker bus?
- It was his idea.
- Was not!
- Was too!
-Just go!
- It was too!
No, not my car!
Oh, I hate mummies.
- Glad to see me now?
-Just like old times, huh?
Turn, turn!
No! Get out of the way!
Look out!
Great driving, Uncle Jon.
Yeah.
You all right?
This was my first bus ride.
- What would I do without you?
- Are all librarians this much trouble?
Jeez, get a room.
Let me go!
Silence!
Stop!
Please do not fear
for your son, my friends.
They cannot hurt him,
for he wears the bracelet of Anubis.
Alex is wearing the bracelet?
When he put it on, he said he saw the
pyramids at Giza, the temple at Karnak.
At Karnak, the bracelet will show him
the next step of the journey.
If we dont get to Karnak before them,
we wont know where to look for him.
Seems to me...
like we need a magic carpet.
When Lord Imhotep last
encountered the OConnells...
they sent his immortal soul
to the Underworld.
As powerful as he will become,
he is still vulnerable.
Only with the Army of Anubis
will he be invincible.
He will need your help.
Keep this with you always.
The Book of the Dead!
What a bright little child.
Your mother must be
missing you terribly.
If you wish to see her again,
youd better behave.
Lady, I dont behave
for my parents.
What makes you think
Im going to do it for you?
Silence!
Because your parents wouldnt slip
poisonous snakes into your bed...
while you were sleeping.
Lord Imhotep wishes
to meet the boy.
Now we shall see
how brave you are.
Hey, watch the suit.
Ow! Me fingers.
Nice.
Very nice.
Did you acquire what we asked?
We acquired it, all right.
You know what?
We had to kill two of those guards
at the mausoleum to acquire it.
This chest is cursed.
It says there is one...
the undead...
who will kill all those
who open this chest.
Yes, and the creature will suck them dry
then become whole again.
Weve all heard this story before.
Yeah, but I heard the Yanks
who found it nine years ago all died.
Horrible deaths, they were.
- So with that in mind--
- We want ten.
Quiet!
The agreement was for five.
Well, we want ten
or well take it elsewhere.
- If you--
- Ten will be just fine.
Follow me, gentlemen.
Get in.
it is you
who are the chosen one...
you who will take me
to Ahm Shere.
What if I dont?
What if I get a little lost?
You have strength, little one.
You are your fathers son,
but I know something you dont.
This bracelet is a gift...
and a curse.
The sands of time...
have already begun
to pour against you.
Yeah, I already heard this part.
From the minute
I put the bracelet on...
seven days do I have
before the Scorpion King wakes up.
Did you also hear that if you
do not enter the pyramid...
before the sun strikes it
on that very morning...
that the bracelet
will suck the life out of you?
That part I missed.
Hey, wait a minute. That means
Ive only got five days left.
Then I believe it will be best
if we do not get lost, dont you?
My dad is going to kick your ass.
I do not think so.
In here, gentlemen,
you shall receive your just rewards.
No tricks now, woman.
Were not givin` up this chest
till were satisfied.
Dont worry.
There is much satisfaction to be had.
Whats going on?
This place is cursed.
- What is it with you and curses?
- He ain`t happy without a good curse.
""This is cursed. That is cursed.``
Give it a rest, will ya?
Christ!
He wants you to open the chest.
Open the chest!
Whered he go?
Whered he go?
- This is the magic carpet?
- Itll be fine. Hes a professional.
Izzy!
He definitely remembers you.
Hes a little shy.
Jonathan, get our bags.
- Oh, my hands are full.
- Now.
- Right. Ill get the bags.
- Ill deal with the flight details.
- Honey, youre not a subtle man.
- We dont have time for subtle.
Izzy, come here.
- Doesnt look happy to see you.
- Never turned me down yet.
Whatever it is, whatever you need,
I dont care. Forget it, OConnell.
Every time I hook up with you,
I get shot.
Last time I got shot in the ass.
Im in mourning for my ass.
- Remember that bank job in Marrakesh?
- Bank job?
- Its not like it sounds.
- Its exactly how it sounds.
Im flying high,
hiding in the sun.
The white boy here flags me down,
so I fly in low for the pick-up.
The next thing you know,
I get shot.
Im lying in the middle of the road
with my spleen hanging out...
and I see him waltzing up
with some belly dancer girl.
Belly dancer girl?
- Izzy, I think you and I should talk.
- As long as I dont get shot.
Quit your whining.
Youre gonna get paid this time.
Have you looked around here any?
What do I need money for?
What the hell am I
gonna spend it on?
Im gonna keep this short.
My little boys out there.
Im gonna do whatever it takes
to get him back.
If you give me that gold stick,
you can shave my head...
wax my legs
and use me for a surfboard.
Didnt we do that in Tripoli?
Say, by the way,
when did you lose your eye?
I didnt. I just thought
it made me look more dashing.
Come on. Get to work.
- Youre not catching me at my best.
- Oh, Im sure I am.
I knew it.
Im gonna get shot.
These are the commanders
of the 1 2 tribes of the Medjai.
Horus.
Pet bird.
My best and most clever friend.
He will let the commanders know
of our progress so that they may follow.
If the Army of Anubis arises...
they will do all they can
to stop it.
- Are you sure Izzy is reliable?
- Yeah, hes reliable-ish.
- Isnt she beautiful?
- Its a balloon.
Its a dirigible.
- Wheres your airplane?
- Airplanes are a thing of the past.
- Izzy, you were right.
- I was?
Yeah, youre gonna get shot.
Shes faster than she looks.
And shes real quiet.
Perfect for sneaking up on people,
which is a very good thing.
Unless, of course,
we go with your approach--
barging in face first, guns blazing,
gettin` your friends shot in the ass.
Why cant you people ever
keep your feet on the ground?
OConnell does not want to believe,
but he flies like Horus to his destiny.
Yes, very interesting.
Tell me more about this gold pyramid.
It is written that since
the time of the Scorpion King...
no man who has laid eyes upon it
has ever returned to tell the tale.
Where is all this stuff written?
Hello!
Got it.
Pretty nice, eh?
This is all I have left
in the world.
The rest of my fortune was lost...
to some rather unscrupulous
characters, actually.
If the curator reacted the way you say,
it must be very important.
If I were you,
I would keep it close.
My friend, the gods
couldnt take this away from me.
- Thats mine.
- No, its not!
Keep your hands off it.
I want him back, Rick.
I want him in my arms.
I know.
We taught him well.
Hes smarter than you.
Hes tougher than me.
- I love him so much, I just cant--
- I know. We both do.
Alex knows that.
Ill get him back, Evy.
I promise.
I know you will.
- Are we there yet?
- No.
That was amazing.
Perfect aim.
What are you talking about?
I missed.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Make it quick.
Hurry up.
- Hey, reading material!
- Now!
I cant go when someones watching.
I dont trust you.
Youll look.
Darn!
Oh, my God!
Doesnt anyone around here know
how to flush a toilet?
Karnak.
If a man does not embrace his past,
he has no future.
Look...
even if I was some sort
of sacred Medjai...
what good does that do me now?
It is the missing piece
of your heart.
If you embrace it and accept it,
you can do anything.
Sounds great.
Listen, what can we expect
from our old friend Imhotep?
His powers are returning quickly.
When he reaches Ahm Shere, even the
Scorpion King wont be able to stop him.
Evy, I know you havent been yourself
lately with these dreams and visions--
No, theyre memories
from my previous life.
Honestly, Im not losing my mind.
It all makes perfect sense now.
- Thats why we found the bracelet?
- Exactly.
- I was its protector.
- Now do you believe, my friend?
Clearly, you were destined
to protect this woman.
Right. Shes a reincarnated princess,
and Im a warrior for God.
Your son leads the way to Ahm Shere.
Three sides of the pyramid.
This was all preordained
thousands of years ago.
And how does the story end?
Only the journey`s written,
not the destination.
Convenient.
How else do you explain
Evy`s visions?
That it is your son
who wears the bracelet?
- How do you explain your mark?
- Coincidence.
My friend, there is a fine line
between coincidence and fate.
Dont even think about it.
Hold on there, partner.
When the time comes...
I shall truly enjoy killing you.
But until that time...
youd better be
a little nicer to me.
Now, wheres my water?
No ice?
Make sure he doesnt move!
Theyve gone.
Weve lost them.
Alex left us his tie...
and he made us
a little sand castle.
Its the Temple Island of Philae.
- Theyve gone to Philae.
- Attaboy, Alex. Come on!
The great temple of Abu Simbel.
Thats the Blue Nile down there.
We must be out of Egypt by now.
In ancient times, all this
still belonged to the upper kingdom.
The oasis must be
around here somewhere.
Dont worry. Well find him.
Hes a smart kid.
Hell leave us a sign.
Surprised to see me?
Leaving bread crumbs, huh?
Were in trouble!
Horus, fly!
Izzy, come hard right!
Starboard! Starboard!
Was there a little something
you forgot to mention?
People?
Ahm Shere.
Right.
Hes back!
Hang on!
Well, thats not good.
Hang on!
Mom?
Dad?
Were gonna go get my son.
Then were gonna want to get out of here
fast, so make this work, Izzy.
You dont understand. This thing was
filled with gas. Not hot air, gas.
I need gas to get this thing in the air.
Where am I gonna get gas around here?
Bananas? Mangoes?
Tarzans ass?
Maybe I could finagle it
to take hot air.
But do you know how many cubic meters
Id need? Its too big!
If anybody can fill this thing up
with hot air, Izzy, its you.
Come to Daddy.
So, Rick, whats the plan?
Lets find some higher ground.
- I must go.
- Where?
To tell the commanders where we are.
- If the Army of Anubis arises--
- I need you to help me find my son.
Then first I shall help you.
Thank you.
Look. Roman legionnaires.
And here, turn-of-the-century French.
Napoleons troops.
What in the name of Anubis did this?
- You hear that?
- What?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
My word!
I say, chaps, look at this.
Shrunken heads.
Id love to know how they do that.
Just curious.
You any good with that?
Three times Fox and Hound`s
grand champion. You any good with that?
Youll know soon enough...
because the only way to kill an Anubis
warrior is by taking off its head.
Ill remember that.
Try to remember to...
just keep it tight
in the shoulder and...
lead the target a little bit,
and then...
squeeze the trigger--
dont pull it.
I wont miss.
Pyramid.
Cripes, Im in trouble now.
Now may I kill him?
- Retrieve that bracelet.
- With pleasure.
Something is coming.
Thats my husband
and my son down there.
Make me proud.
Todays that day, Evy.
Wheres the boy?
The Black Book!
Lets go!
There you are!
The time has come,
my little friend.
Let go!
- Dad!
- Alex!
Time to remove that bracelet,
my good son.
Behind you!
- Lets go.
- Thank God for that.
The two of you must
sacrifice yourselves for me.
You shall be rewarded in heaven!
Nice shootin`, Tex.
- What were those creepy pygmy things?
-Just the local natives.
- Are you sure?
- Im sure. It was nothing.
Come on, Mom. Come on, Dad.
We have to get to the pyramid.
I have to get the bracelet off now!
Leave it on.
Looks good on you.
No, you guys, you dont understand.
Itll kill me if I dont get inside
the pyramid before the sun hits it...
today!
Oh, my God.
Time to go!
I thought you said
it was nothing!
Where`s Jonathan?
Look! Theres a burial ground!
Were safe! Were safe!
Theyll never cross
those sacred stones!
- You are sure?
- Yes, of course Im sure.
Sorry. My mistake.
- Wait for me!
- Hurry up, Jonathan!
Wait for me!
-Whats that for?
-Just something in case of an emergency.
Lets go, Alex.
Run! Come on, Alex, faster!
Dad! The bracelet!
Come on! Come on!
You know...
its not easy being a dad.
Yeah, but you do it really good.
Thanks.
They made it.
Thank God.
Yes. Great.
Fabulous.
-Shes going to be all right, isnt she?
-Shell be fine.
Take him.
Mommys fine.
Its okay.
Your mothers

Youre real strong.
Youre gonna make it.
Youre fine.
What do I do?
Take care of Alex.
Sweetheart, no.
I love you.
Come back, Evy.
Come back.
Stay here.
Try to think of it
like this, Alex.
Shes gone to a better place.
- Like it says in the good book.
- The book!
- What?
- Thats it.
- Thats it!
- Thats what?
Come on, Uncle Jon!
Thats it! The book!
Youre too late, OConnell.
I have released
the Army of Anubis.
Lord Imhotep shall soon
kill the Scorpion King...
and take command.
Not after I get through with him.
You realize, of course,
that this can only be done...
by someone who can actually read
ancient Egyptian.
I dont know about you,
but Im a tad rusty.
- Now where?
- We go right.
How do you know?
Basically,
""This way to the Scorpion King.``
Mum taught me.
This just might work.
Its time someone taught you
a lesson, wench. Come on.
This is for my sister.
Is that all youve got?
Hurry up, Alex!
Uncle Jon, I dont know
what this last symbol is!
Whats it look like?
Its a bird. A stork!
I know that one!
I know that one!
Then what is it?
Thats it!
Why dont you pick on somebody
your own size?
Oh, my God.
- Evy!
- Take Alex. Go and help Rick.
- But, Mom--
- No ""buts.``
Come on.
Ill be just fine.
- We did it, Uncle Jon!
- Right, partner.
Now lets go help your dad.
Thats a little something new.
My lord!
Save me! Save me!
Okay, now Im a believer.
Its a spear!
The golden stick thing!
Its a spear!
Really?
Doesnt look like a spear!
Thats because
it opens up into one!
Yes? And?
It opens up into a spear!
- Twist it!
- Push!
You have to pull!
Jonathan, quick!
Throw it!
Kill the Scorpion King!
Send his army
back to the Underworld!
Step aside, Alex.
Im a professional.
Go to hell,
and take your friends with you!
Get out of here!
Just get out of here!
Hang on, Rick!
Lets go up!
This whole damn place is gonna
get sucked up! Lets move up! Go!
Go, Alex!
Rick, were trapped!
Get your butts moving! Hurry up!
I havent got all day!
Youre next! Go!
Jonathan! Hold on!
- Pull him up!
- Pull me up!
Wait! Wait!
Let me down! Let me down!
- Its not worth your life, you idiot!
- Yes, it is! Yes, it is!
Right.
Pull me up! Pull me up!
- OConnell, you almost got me killed!
- At least you didnt get shot.
Thank you! Thank you!
OConnell, who the hell have you
been messing with this time, huh?
You know, the usual.
Mummies, pygmies...
big bugs.
I thought
I almost lost you there.
For a moment there, you did.
Would you like to know
what heaven looks like?
Later.
- Oh, please!
- Oh, please!
- Thats half mine, you know.
- What?
- Thats half mine.
- What are you talking about?
You took my gold stick!
I swear on the head of my wife, I have
no idea what youre talking about.
You aunt got a wife!
I dont have
your gold stick either!
