Time Walker (1982) Movie Script
Eighteen centimeters
on the figure of osiris, doctor.
Eighteen.
Very good.
And the representation of nefertiti,
professor?
Uh, 12 centimeters.
Excellent.
And the last measurement?
Let's see.
Hathor is 11.
What is that?
Earthquake!
North wall is going!
Professor, are you injured?
No, I'm okay. I'm all right.
God, earthquake.
Abdullah, look.
This is unbelievable.
It's a chamber, Abdullah.
Please be careful, professor.
Abdullah, this is incredible.
What have you found, my friend?
Ankh Van Haris.
Ankh-vanharis.
Are you all right?
It sc--
it scared the hell out of me.
There's so many bodies, Abdullah.
I'm gonna need at least three of you
on each side.
Come on, give him a hand.
Okay, carefully.
Could you all sort of move around
to the other side of the coffin?
Linda, this is fairly heavy.
Must we pose right now?
Rossmore wants
a bunch of publicity stills
for their press conference tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
Seems we have no choice.
Professor, could you move over here
and smile at the mummy?
Well, these are clearly
the original seals.
Which means the fella inside
hasn't seen the light of day
in approximately 3000 years.
Okay, fellas.
One on each side.
Lift it carefully.
Okay, easy.
Put it right over there.
Perfect condition.
Can anyone translate the name?
Ankh vanharis.
A male cognomen.
Literally a noble traveler.
Uh-huh. Meaning?
I guess he was a visiting dignitary.
Why would they bury a foreigner
in the tomb of king tut?
It's a good question, Michael.
Maybe we'll find the answer
in the scroll of dedication.
All right, let's go for the
inner lid now. Carefully.
Watch it, you idiot.
Sorry, doctor.
Sorry's not gonna help when
you break some of the machinery.
Ready for the X-ray, sir.
All right.
Carefully.
Can anyone tell me why the wrappings
are so deteriorated?
A hasty burial.
Minimum preparation.
Yep. I'd say that's likely.
What is that green stuff? Mold?
I'm not really sure.
Michael, why don't you collect
some samples?
Okay, doc.
Professor, why would he have been
given a hasty burial?
Well, until we remove the wrappings
and examine the body,
we're not gonna know for sure,
but my guess is ankh-vanharis
died from some kind of disease,
such as plague or smallpox.
Or whatever it was that disfigured
and killed his attendants.
Susie,
bring me an airtight container.
I wanna seal this up until we can
give it a proper cleaning.
Michael?
Just about done, doc.
All right.
All right, I think we're ready
for the x-rays.
Thank you for your help.
And I'll see you all later.
Okay.
- Thanks, doc.
- Bye.
Great stuff.
Thanks.
So long, Parker.
No, I'd like Mr. Parker to stay.
After all, he is the chief engineer.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
What are you doing, you moron?
Doug, look at that.
My god, sharpe.
One of those damned kids must've
knocked it off the setting.
You've been x-raying this mummy
with 10 times the normal dose.
Okay.
So we'll start again.
Let's not.
It's had enough radiation
for one night.
Just deliver those
plates to my office.
That's a little over-exposed.
That's okay.
What the hell could those be?
Oughta be right about...
There.
Gotta match the dose.
Don't worry, big fella.
This isn't gonna hurt a bit.
A perfect match.
Well, if I can't get it...
X-rays.
Um, just put them over there.
I wanna finish cleaning this scroll.
Ah, susie.
I don't know, Ken.
Some kinda dormant mold.
Great.
I'll have susie run it over.
Yeah, thanks, Ken.
Ken Melrose in pathology can start
analyzing it right away.
Can you bring it over to him?
Do you mind?
Of course not.
Maybe he'll show me
his new electron microscope.
Well, what have I got
that can compete with that?
Mm.
Oh, honey, before you go,
what do you think of this?
I found it rolled up in the scroll.
Magic symbols?
Astrological diagram?
Look at the material.
I've never seen anything like it.
It's not papyrus.
It's not leather, cloth--
well, maybe you found the first
civilization to use polyester.
What a dismal thought.
Don't work too late, doc.
I'm sorry.
Did I startle you?
Oh, susie, what time is it?
You're gonna look worse
than ankh-vanharis
at the press conference.
Susie, would you look at this?
Notice the cranial structure,
the line of the spinal column.
Maybe there's something wrong
with the X-ray machine.
No. No.
Here, coffin came out perfectly.
And look at this.
Usually the internal organs are
removed and prepared separately,
but here they're all intact.
This mummy hasn't been prepared
in a standard manner.
What's this?
Probably a hidden compartment
for personal jewelry.
That's not unheard of.
Well, we'll find out.
What is this stuff?
Don't touch it.
Get Ken Melrose and tell him
something has happened to the mold.
Hurry! Go on!
Worthless.
Worthless?
What do you mean, "worthless"?
I mean they're not precious.
They're 3000 years old.
They're ancient, man.
Well, who told you that?
Some hustler in a swap meet?
Forget it.
Clown.
Uh, it is the same fungus.
But it's definitely
no longer dormant.
And you have no idea what it is.
No.
And until we find out,
don't let anyone near it.
That's not gonna be easy.
Rossmore's scheduled
a press conference for today.
He wants to introduce ankh-vanharis
to the public.
Okay, doc.
I'll call Rossmore and tell him
he simply must cancel it.
Thanks, Ken.
I appreciate it.
Evening news.
Is this the stiff?
Michael, see if you can
find something to rope
the coffin off with,
please.
Suse, be sure everyone
stays clear of the coffin.
Including you.
Doug.
He wants to talk to you.
No, we don't know for sure
that it's dangerous.
Look, I'll get back to work on this,
and if I learn anything, I'll--
I'll call you.
Thanks, Ken. Thanks.
Get him to the campus hospital.
To the emergency room.
Call Melrose
as soon as you get there.
And don't touch his hand!
Please just, uh,
have a seat, please.
Mccadden, what is the meaning
of all this commotion?
One of my students was just burned
by this fungus.
Fungus?
Come on. You know damn well
what I'm talking about.
Melrose and I tried
to warn you about this.
Mccadden, you know
i really resent being blamed
for the clumsiness
of one of your students.
Now, if you're unwilling to accept
the responsibility for this project,
perhaps we ought
to find someone who will.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
My name is Wendell j. Rossmore.
Today we are formally announcing
the permanent acquisition
of a major artifact from the tomb
and the treasure of tutankhamen.
When we uncover the mummy, you're
gonna notice that the wrappings
are very deteriorated and covered
with a green substance.
This may make him seem
rather unattractive,
but please remember he's been
in there for 3000 years.
Gentlemen,
you may remove the inner lid.
Hey, look, I wasn't the only one
in the lab that night.
Don't you belong to a fraternity,
sharpe?
Yes. So what?
Hey, Pete, I was a frat man.
I know what it's like.
Slow night, nothing to do.
- Have a couple of beers--
- steal a mummy?
That's a great theory, captain.
Try to prove it.
Why, you little--
hey, listen,
why don't you ask Parker
where he was that night?
I saw him there.
Dr. Rossmore,
Jack Parker is not a suspect.
The most important thing is
we've got to find the mummy.
We've got to counteract
the bad press
generated by that disaster
this morning.
- Uh, sharpe?
- Yes, sir?
I want you to spread the word
through the fraternity houses.
I'm offering a 24-hour amnesty
to get the mummy back.
Now, if he is not returned,
I am going to close every frat house
and search every room
on this campus.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Uh, sharpe and Parker, you may go.
Captain, I think the city police
should be brought in on this.
Absolutely not.
Now, come on.
This is an internal affair.
We don't need 'em.
You're overreacting, Doug.
That mummy could be dangerous.
There is something on the wrappings.
Something very strange.
There's already a boy
in the hospital.
Anybody else who touches that
mummy could end up the same way.
If that's so,
whoever has taken the mummy
is going to end up in the hospital
sooner or later.
And then I'll nab 'em.
And nobody has to know about it.
Not the police, not the press.
Fine.
We'd better find that mummy
before somebody else gets hurt.
Hey.
Hey, what's goin' on back here?
Captain Willoughby, I want you
to search the campus.
Turn it upside down if necessary,
but find that mummy.
Yes, sir.
You got it.
Here's why I'm so concerned.
The structure is just crazy.
The nucleus is unstable,
the chromosomal pattern
is mystifying,
and the cells are multiplying
at a rate so fast,
I can hardly measure it.
Yes?
We'll be right there.
Yes, whatever it is,
it's highly delatropic.
It breaks down tissues faster than
anything we've ever encountered.
And it doubles its mass
reproductively every 65 minutes,
provided it has enough food.
Food?
Well, any organic tissue.
In this case, human flesh.
Hi, doc.
I'm sorry I screwed up your show.
It's okay.
You were upstaged
by the disappearing act anyway.
When you find that guy, I want to be
the first one that knows.
You got it.
Mind if I take a look at that hand?
Sure, doc.
Take care of yourself, Michael.
Okay.
Dr. fehr, Dr. fehr.
You're needed
in emergency ward number 4.
Please answer extension number 75.
What's the prognosis?
Well, there's no
skeletal damage yet,
but the nerves, tendons,
musculature, circulatory vessels
are virtually destroyed.
Excuse me, Dr. Hayworth.
Mrs. Goldstein is here.
Fine.
I'll be right there.
Excuse me, gentlemen,
but I will stay in touch.
Wait a minute, doctor.
Truthfully, what can you do for him?
Amputate before it goes any further.
Ooh.
Oh... go--
what were you doing?
Sh-- sherri, honey,
i came over to see you.
Then, what were you staring
at her for, bozo face?
Ow! I don't know!
Sherri!
- Hey!
- I hate you!
Listen-- sherri, will ya listen
for a minute?
Come on, baby.
Don't be mad.
I brought ya a present.
[ Sniffs 1
what?
Gimme a kiss first.
No way.
No kiss, no present.
Oh--
okay, where's my present?
Wow.
Where'd you get this?
I found it in an old box.
Dr. serrano?
Yeah, this is captain Willoughby.
Yeah.
Look, I'm in the
electrical supply room.
President Rossmore told me to call
you if I saw anything suspicious.
This is Linda flores
taking your requests tonight.
So give me a call at 662-8200.
And now, to Brian from sheilagh,
and to Christy from all the guys
at delta psi--
so this is where you hide out when
you're not taking my picture, huh?
Cheapest rent on campus,
right next to the reactor.
Hi, I'm Jamie Reynolds.
And so am I.
No, I'm dick traveland, and this is
tonight's edition of two on one.
Today, here at the
California institute of the sciences,
they held a press conference
to show off their new mummy,
but when they opened the coffin,
guess what?
It wasn't a mummy.
It was a daddy.
Oh, my god.
No, it wasn't anything.
The coffin was empty.
Em pw?
As a tomb.
I wonder how much they paid
for that thing.
Whatever it was, it was too much.
Jamie, I think the institute
is in grave trouble.
Oh, dick.
Sorry.
At any rate, it all started
this morning
when Wendell j. Rossmore
of the institute
called a press conference
to show the world their find.
It's worth over a hundred bucks.
I could let you have it for say, 50.
Hey, where am I gonna get 50 bucks?
Hey, come on, Greg.
I know you got paid today.
Just imagine
what Ellen's gonna think
when you walk in
with a present like that.
Name your restaurant, baby.
To our love.
Forever.
It's nice.
Um, excuse me.
Sherry, I'll be right back.
Hey.
Brother sharpe!
Imagine meeting you here!
Yeah, especially
in this outrageously
expensive restaurant
with nine different kinds of forks.
How do you suppose he can afford
a place like this, brother Robinson?
Hey, look, it's hard to figure,
brother Vogel,
especially since he owes us
25 bucks apiece.
Hey, look, come on.
I need that.
I just ordered the food.
That's okay.
We'll pay for it.
We'll eat it, too.
Look, I'm here with sherri.
Okay.
We'll eat her food, too.
Hey, listen, I know we can, uh,
share the food.
But, listen,
we have to flip for the lady.
Tails seems appropriate?
Hey.
How would you guys like
to double your money?
Wow.
Yeah.
You give that to a girl,
she'll never forget you.
Okay. It's a deal.
Hey, baby.
- Oh!
- Mm
shh.
Don't wake the baby.
I promised miss mcginnis
I'd be really quiet.
Come on.
Tadaa!
What time are they gonna
come home?
Not until midnight.
This is Linda flores on kcis.
And now, a special message for those
naughty boys and girls
who took the lnstitute's mummy.
Here's my in-studio guest, our own
professor Douglas mccadden.
Thank you very much, Linda.
To whom it may concern: The fungus
on the mummy's wrappings
is extremely dangerous.
If you have come
into contact with it,
please seek
medical attention at once.
If you discover the mummy,
do not touch it.
Call the police or the institute
or even this radio station.
Lemme know what happens.
I promise you'll be the
first reporter on the scene.
Thought I lost it
there for a minute.
Guess it must've fallen out of
my pocket and into the baby's crib.
He sure liked it.
I hope you do, too.
Greg, it's beautiful.
Hey.
It wasn't glowing like that
when I bought it.
Oh, it's so warm.
Damn!
Can't you let the kid cry?
He wants his doll.
I'll be right back.
Can you treat her?
Oh, lt. Hummer,
I believe you know
our pathologist, Ken Melrose.
- Of course.
- Lieutenant.
And this is professor
Douglas mccadden of the institute.
- How're you doing?
- Professor.
I've brought lt. Plummer
up to date on everything.
Doctor, what about Ellen?
Well, I'm consulting by phone
with Dr. Cunningham
of the Atlanta center
for control of disease.
Oh? You expecting
an epidemic?
No, but if anyone knows
anything about unusual disorders,
it's Atlanta.
We've sent them samples.
They have all of our data now,
you see.
And what have they come up with?
So far, nothing.
I understand there was a witness
to this accident involving the girl.
Yeah, her boyfriend,
uh, Greg hauser.
He's here in the hospital now.
Okay, hauser.
Describe the attacker.
Was he black? White?
Come on, let's hear it now!
Don't sit there! Talk!
That's enough, Willoughby.
I'll take it from here.
Hey, plummer, this kid
saw the guy who did it.
I'm trying to get a description,
but he won't cooperate.
That'll be all, captain Willoughby.
Greg, this is lt. Plummer
from the police department.
He wants to ask a few questions,
that's all.
Greg, was it?
Okay, Greg.
Just tell me what you saw.
A horrible...
Face.
Whose face, Greg?
Whose face was it?
Mummy.
Look, he's still in shock.
I think I'd better take him
under observation for a few hours.
Greg, come with me.
How's Michael Goldstein?
They had to amputate.
But I think they got it all.
Ken.
How's Ellen this morning?
Uh, Dr. Hayworth wants
to try a surgical laser,
to burn the fungus off,
just as soon as they make sure
there aren't any broken bones or--
I took a look at these x-rays
you sent me.
What did you think?
You were right.
Skeletal structure is abnormal.
An extended clavicle, oversized
sternum, displaced mastoid process--
Doug?
- Hi, Ken.
- Hi, susie.
Ken, I want you to listen to this.
I think I'm onto something.
This scroll, it basically tells the
story of king tutankhamen's soldiers
discovering a stranger
in the desert. All right?
Because of his unusual appearance,
the Egyptians assumed
him to be a god,
sent to advise their own god king.
So king tut goes
forth to greet this deity,
whom he calls "ankh-vinharis".
Now, listen to this.
"All-knowing tutankhamen reached
out to touch the weary traveler
and was sorely burned
and afflicted with a disease
that consumed his flesh."
Hm.
"Likewise were all servants who laid
soothing hands on the boy king.
All died, save only the strange
traveller himself,
who lay near death
and without strength,
but who would not pass
into the afterworld."
So they simply sealed him alive
in a corner of tut's tomb,
along with all
the afflicted servants.
Tell me something.
Are you suggesting that our fungus
is the same disease
that killed tut and his servants?
And it's been dormant
for 3000 years?
And now it's not?
Suppose it were true.
Okay, just suppose.
What would we have to do?
We'd have to figure out how it was
stimulated out of dormancy.
Then we might know how to stop it.
Well?
But, Doug,
it's an unbelievable concept.
What else have we got?
Damn it!
Have you seen this?
We look ridiculous.
We were seen on every channel.
Mm-hm.
And look at this.
"Where is my mummy?
A fraternity party Saturday night.
Please wear costumes."
That's all we need.
Oh.
Get me Dr. Hayworth.
It's an emergency.
Get a hold of her!
Tell her not to X-ray Ellen winters.
Do not X-ray Ellen winters!
Dr. Hayworth, call the operator.
Stat.
Gosh.
- Hi, susie.
- Hi, Stanley.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Not right now, okay?
I'm really in a rush.
What is it?
Are you still going out
with professor mccadden?
I don't think that's any
of your business, Stanley.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got a very busy schedule.
Well, look, I'm sorry.
This conversation hasn't gone
as I'd hoped it would.
Here, take this.
I can't take this.
Take this, think of me,
and maybe I'll see ya sometime.
Stanley!
I don't see anything.
Let's get out of here.
What was that?
Eh...
Nothing but a damned door.
Keep looking.
Somebody must've broke in.
It's the fungus.
The mummy walks!
Stop it! Hey!
Mummy needs love.
Mummy been in box too long.
Get off of me!
Hey, look, man, i--
i was only kidding.
Hi, Jack.
How do I look?
Come on.
As Cleopatra would say,
"see ya later, guys."
Did he hurt you?
No. I'm all right.
Thanks for being there.
Conehead!
Peter! Grow up.
Just grow up.
I swear, you are such a dork
sometimes.
Gross.
Hey, baby.
You want maybe I should make you up
like mummy?
I'm Cleopatra!
I swear...
Hey, hold it down.
You guys hear about the girl
who got lost in king tut's tomb?
Nine months later
she was a "mummy".
Hey, Peter, I thought you were gonna
wear a costume.
Love your outfit, bill.
Thanks.
Love your necklace.
It's so unique.
What'd you do, get a truck load
of those things?
Excuse us, pal.
Enough of this crap.
Now, listen, you pervert.
You don't disappear, I'm gonna
kick your bandaged butt.
Who is that?
Just some chicken frat rat.
Hey, have you seen Sarah?
I've got a present for her.
No.
I think she's outside.
Thanks.
Sarah?
Sarah?
Sarah, is that you?
No, she's not Sarah!
And I sure as hell ain't.
You just wanna get lost?
Sarah.
Bill.
Jeff.
Ready, Sarah?
Hey, Sarah, what is going on?
Sorry, buddy.
This is only a two-seater.
Hey, Sarah, what happened?
Damn!
That's it.
I'm through with women.
I'm gonna be a priest.
- Well, hello.
- Hi.
- How's it goin'?
- How are you, ladies?
- Nice dress.
- I like you. I'll be right back.
- Where are you goin'?
- Be right back.
- See you later.
- All right.
Hey!
Look, I gotta go over to my office
and check this out.
Can I come along?
No, no.
I'll be right back.
Really, I just wanna see if there
was some sort of power drain.
Be careful.
Lock the door and keep it locked.
It was on the wall right there,
so whoever stole the mummy
must've stashed him in here.
Oh, look who's here.
Come to change a lightbulb, Parker?
No, actually, I came
to blow up the reactor.
Hm.
Hey, do you need any help?
Hey!
Hey, bill?
He's dead.
Hello.
Yes, it's he.
Do I have the time right?
What?
I'll be right over.
Ah, professor.
Thought you might be interested
in this.
What happened?
Well, we found this.
It's definitely
from the mummy's wrappings.
Looks like somebody's
playing a very sick game.
Please stay away from the
green stuff if there's any on him.
It's very dangerous.
It can be fatal.
I don't think the fungus killed him.
All right, what did?
Parker did it.
- Impossible.
- Why?
It looks like every bone
in that boy's body's broken.
There's not a mark on him.
We figure he hit that wall
with incredible force.
Well, Jack Parker's pretty strong.
Nobody's that strong.
I know you, Rossmore,
and this isn't the first time
you've tried to cover something up
because you don't wanna
smell bad in the press.
I beg your pardon, lt.
You're addressing the president
of an accredited university.
Don't interfere
with this investigation.
Don't withhold information.
And don't play detective.
What about the mummy?
Well, you look for your mummy,
doctor.
I'm looking for a murderer.
Susie and I have been researching
a theory of sorts.
First of all, I wanna warn you,
it's gonna sound very unbelievable,
but please just bear with me.
I know it can't be proved,
but this fungus,
I think we all agree it's like
nothing else we've ever encountered.
I'd have to agree with that.
Suppose it was because
it didn't come from earth.
Where else would it
have come from?
All right, Ken, you've seen
these x-rays of our mummy.
You said he wasn't
a normal human being.
Suppose he wasn't a human being.
Uh,doug-
I said it would sound crazy.
Remember the scroll.
It said, "all who touched the weary
traveller became afflicted
and died except ankh-vanharis."
Because he was immune.
Because he wasn't human.
We all agree that we're dealing
with something unknown,
but I can't, myself, take a quantum
leap into the supernatural.
I'm sorry, professor,
but with all due respect,
we have to have some basis
in fact.
I've got the best available
equipment at my disposal,
and I've been-- I've-- I've come up
with absolutely nothing.
I mean, it simply does not exist.
Look, Doug,
the bottom line is this:
Whatever it is,
we still have to find
out who took it and where it is now.
Otherwise,
more people are gonna get hurt.
Thanks to mccadden,
we are in deep trouble.
Two of our donors have withdrawn
their bequests.
500,000 dollars
out the window. Aw.
Maybe there's a way of turning
this whole thing around.
How, Bruce? How?
- What if he stole the mummy?
- Huh?
He wasn't ready
to unveil that mummy,
so he had it stolen and hidden where
he could work on it in private.
And then when he's ready
to find it and unveil it,
he'll find it
and come out a big hero.
No.
I don't think that scenario's
going to hold water, Bruce.
I do.
And I think I can prove it.
You don't think it's
walking around on its own, do you?
Oh!
There's something out there!
- What?
-Lt's in the hall!
Come on, Doug.
Wake up.
What time is it?
You've been sleeping all day.
You must have been really tired.
Doug, look.
Where's that coming from?
My bracelet.
Suse, that looks
exactly like the diagram
that I found inside the scroll.
That can't be a coincidence.
Susie, where'd you get
this bracelet?
Well, it was a present
from this guy named Stanley.
Do you know where it came from?
No.
Susie, can you call him?
- Now?
- Yeah, honey. It's important.
That diagram and this crystal
have the same pattern.
They've gotta be related.
I've seen that pattern before,
i know I have.
Or something like it anyway.
When you asked me about in your
office, I couldn't remember, but--
what, hon? What?
I know.
My brother used to build radios,
and I think he had diagrams
lying around that looked like that.
Radios?
Radios.
You know, maybe Parker will know.
- This was in the coffin?
- Yeah.
It's amazing. It looks like
some kind of wiring schematic.
Like for making radios?
Right, but what would it be doing
in a 3000-year-old coffin?
Jack, could this have
something to do with it?
Maybe. Crystals could be
used as transmitters.
Jack, look at this.
What's goin' on, Doug?
There must be a connection.
If this did belong to ankh-vanharis,
what would he have used it for?
I mean, he couldn't have been
building radios in ancient Egypt.
Susie, I want you to go
to the astronomy center,
see what else you can find
on ancient phenomena.
But also, check out those
NASA information bulletins
on ultra-long-range communication.
Honey, if you don't find anything,
come right back.
Okay.
What's it printed on?
This doesn't feel like paper.
Analysis came up a blank.
It matches no other material,
either natural or synthetic.
Like nothing else, huh?
It's like the fungus.
And ankh-vanharis.
Where's everybody?
Field trip.
They all went to the observatory.
To see some comet or something.
Thank you.
There's definitely a connection
between the two.
It's logical, but I still don't know
what it means.
Let me have another look
at that crystal.
Susie!
No!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Let me out!
Oh!
And the next thing I remember
is waking up here.
Okay.
I appreciate you answering
these questions, miss Fuller.
If you think of anything else,
give me a call, okay?
Lt. Hummer,
you don't really still believe
this is a fraternity joke, do you?
No. No, I think this is
a very sick individual.
- But, lieutenant, it's--
- try to get some sleep now, okay?
Ow! Damn! Ow!
Suse, what happened?
Doug, you know me.
I'm not the hysterical type.
But it was him.
It was ankh-vanharis.
He's alive.
He didn't wanna hurt me.
He just wanted my bracelet.
My-- my crystal bracelet.
It was glowing.
And he-- he had a crystal
just like it in his chest.
Wasn't Ellen wearing jewelry,
some kind of necklace?
Yeah.
So was bill Vogel,
according to the coroner.
Susie, do you know if there's
any more of those crystals?
No, I don't.
I'm going back to my office
and check out that schematic again.
Go ahead. It's okay.
Jack.
Come on, Doug.
We got him.
He was here.
What's that?
How did these get here?
One, two, three, four, five.
- Crystals?
- Sharpe.
- Hey!
- Where'd you get those crystals?
What crystals?
The ones you've been
selling your friends.
L-- i-- I got 'em at the swap meet.
Sharpe, don't lie to me.
What about these?
Ellen winters and bill Vogel
are dead.
Because of those crystals.
And susie Fuller's in the hospital.
I didn't mean
for anyone to get hurt.
Where are the rest of 'em?
There's one
in my top drawer there.
I gave the other one
to my girlfriend.
- Sherri?
- Yeah.
Oh, my god.
She's jennie's roommate.
All right.
Call your girlfriend right now.
She's at work.
Call her.
Suppose he is building a long-range
communication device.
He's got the circuitry, he's got
the electrical transformer,
he's got most of the crystals.
What else does he need?
A power source.
Did you find her?
Yes, but she doesn't have it on.
It's at home, bathroom cabinet.
Jennie!
Bus)'-
I'm going over there!
All right.
I'll meet you at the reactor.
Okay, mom.
Love to dad.
I love you, too.
Bye.
No.
No.
Please. No.
Linda, this is professor mccadden.
Get your camera and come over
to the reactor building.
Linda, now.
Jennie! Jennie!
Jennie.
Did he touch you?
No.
He took the crystal.
Thank you, Douglas.
What are you guys doing here?
Proving my theory.
I knew all along
that you'd taken that mummy
and now I know
where you've hidden it.
- What?
- Oh, come off it, professor.
Don't you realize
what has been going on here?
Yes, as a matter of fact.
You've been getting away
with murder.
Well, the game is over.
And as soon as I call
lt. Plummer,
you'll be on your way to jail,
and I'll have what I deserve.
Jack?
Shoot it!
No!
The crystal!
No!
on the figure of osiris, doctor.
Eighteen.
Very good.
And the representation of nefertiti,
professor?
Uh, 12 centimeters.
Excellent.
And the last measurement?
Let's see.
Hathor is 11.
What is that?
Earthquake!
North wall is going!
Professor, are you injured?
No, I'm okay. I'm all right.
God, earthquake.
Abdullah, look.
This is unbelievable.
It's a chamber, Abdullah.
Please be careful, professor.
Abdullah, this is incredible.
What have you found, my friend?
Ankh Van Haris.
Ankh-vanharis.
Are you all right?
It sc--
it scared the hell out of me.
There's so many bodies, Abdullah.
I'm gonna need at least three of you
on each side.
Come on, give him a hand.
Okay, carefully.
Could you all sort of move around
to the other side of the coffin?
Linda, this is fairly heavy.
Must we pose right now?
Rossmore wants
a bunch of publicity stills
for their press conference tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
Seems we have no choice.
Professor, could you move over here
and smile at the mummy?
Well, these are clearly
the original seals.
Which means the fella inside
hasn't seen the light of day
in approximately 3000 years.
Okay, fellas.
One on each side.
Lift it carefully.
Okay, easy.
Put it right over there.
Perfect condition.
Can anyone translate the name?
Ankh vanharis.
A male cognomen.
Literally a noble traveler.
Uh-huh. Meaning?
I guess he was a visiting dignitary.
Why would they bury a foreigner
in the tomb of king tut?
It's a good question, Michael.
Maybe we'll find the answer
in the scroll of dedication.
All right, let's go for the
inner lid now. Carefully.
Watch it, you idiot.
Sorry, doctor.
Sorry's not gonna help when
you break some of the machinery.
Ready for the X-ray, sir.
All right.
Carefully.
Can anyone tell me why the wrappings
are so deteriorated?
A hasty burial.
Minimum preparation.
Yep. I'd say that's likely.
What is that green stuff? Mold?
I'm not really sure.
Michael, why don't you collect
some samples?
Okay, doc.
Professor, why would he have been
given a hasty burial?
Well, until we remove the wrappings
and examine the body,
we're not gonna know for sure,
but my guess is ankh-vanharis
died from some kind of disease,
such as plague or smallpox.
Or whatever it was that disfigured
and killed his attendants.
Susie,
bring me an airtight container.
I wanna seal this up until we can
give it a proper cleaning.
Michael?
Just about done, doc.
All right.
All right, I think we're ready
for the x-rays.
Thank you for your help.
And I'll see you all later.
Okay.
- Thanks, doc.
- Bye.
Great stuff.
Thanks.
So long, Parker.
No, I'd like Mr. Parker to stay.
After all, he is the chief engineer.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
What are you doing, you moron?
Doug, look at that.
My god, sharpe.
One of those damned kids must've
knocked it off the setting.
You've been x-raying this mummy
with 10 times the normal dose.
Okay.
So we'll start again.
Let's not.
It's had enough radiation
for one night.
Just deliver those
plates to my office.
That's a little over-exposed.
That's okay.
What the hell could those be?
Oughta be right about...
There.
Gotta match the dose.
Don't worry, big fella.
This isn't gonna hurt a bit.
A perfect match.
Well, if I can't get it...
X-rays.
Um, just put them over there.
I wanna finish cleaning this scroll.
Ah, susie.
I don't know, Ken.
Some kinda dormant mold.
Great.
I'll have susie run it over.
Yeah, thanks, Ken.
Ken Melrose in pathology can start
analyzing it right away.
Can you bring it over to him?
Do you mind?
Of course not.
Maybe he'll show me
his new electron microscope.
Well, what have I got
that can compete with that?
Mm.
Oh, honey, before you go,
what do you think of this?
I found it rolled up in the scroll.
Magic symbols?
Astrological diagram?
Look at the material.
I've never seen anything like it.
It's not papyrus.
It's not leather, cloth--
well, maybe you found the first
civilization to use polyester.
What a dismal thought.
Don't work too late, doc.
I'm sorry.
Did I startle you?
Oh, susie, what time is it?
You're gonna look worse
than ankh-vanharis
at the press conference.
Susie, would you look at this?
Notice the cranial structure,
the line of the spinal column.
Maybe there's something wrong
with the X-ray machine.
No. No.
Here, coffin came out perfectly.
And look at this.
Usually the internal organs are
removed and prepared separately,
but here they're all intact.
This mummy hasn't been prepared
in a standard manner.
What's this?
Probably a hidden compartment
for personal jewelry.
That's not unheard of.
Well, we'll find out.
What is this stuff?
Don't touch it.
Get Ken Melrose and tell him
something has happened to the mold.
Hurry! Go on!
Worthless.
Worthless?
What do you mean, "worthless"?
I mean they're not precious.
They're 3000 years old.
They're ancient, man.
Well, who told you that?
Some hustler in a swap meet?
Forget it.
Clown.
Uh, it is the same fungus.
But it's definitely
no longer dormant.
And you have no idea what it is.
No.
And until we find out,
don't let anyone near it.
That's not gonna be easy.
Rossmore's scheduled
a press conference for today.
He wants to introduce ankh-vanharis
to the public.
Okay, doc.
I'll call Rossmore and tell him
he simply must cancel it.
Thanks, Ken.
I appreciate it.
Evening news.
Is this the stiff?
Michael, see if you can
find something to rope
the coffin off with,
please.
Suse, be sure everyone
stays clear of the coffin.
Including you.
Doug.
He wants to talk to you.
No, we don't know for sure
that it's dangerous.
Look, I'll get back to work on this,
and if I learn anything, I'll--
I'll call you.
Thanks, Ken. Thanks.
Get him to the campus hospital.
To the emergency room.
Call Melrose
as soon as you get there.
And don't touch his hand!
Please just, uh,
have a seat, please.
Mccadden, what is the meaning
of all this commotion?
One of my students was just burned
by this fungus.
Fungus?
Come on. You know damn well
what I'm talking about.
Melrose and I tried
to warn you about this.
Mccadden, you know
i really resent being blamed
for the clumsiness
of one of your students.
Now, if you're unwilling to accept
the responsibility for this project,
perhaps we ought
to find someone who will.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
My name is Wendell j. Rossmore.
Today we are formally announcing
the permanent acquisition
of a major artifact from the tomb
and the treasure of tutankhamen.
When we uncover the mummy, you're
gonna notice that the wrappings
are very deteriorated and covered
with a green substance.
This may make him seem
rather unattractive,
but please remember he's been
in there for 3000 years.
Gentlemen,
you may remove the inner lid.
Hey, look, I wasn't the only one
in the lab that night.
Don't you belong to a fraternity,
sharpe?
Yes. So what?
Hey, Pete, I was a frat man.
I know what it's like.
Slow night, nothing to do.
- Have a couple of beers--
- steal a mummy?
That's a great theory, captain.
Try to prove it.
Why, you little--
hey, listen,
why don't you ask Parker
where he was that night?
I saw him there.
Dr. Rossmore,
Jack Parker is not a suspect.
The most important thing is
we've got to find the mummy.
We've got to counteract
the bad press
generated by that disaster
this morning.
- Uh, sharpe?
- Yes, sir?
I want you to spread the word
through the fraternity houses.
I'm offering a 24-hour amnesty
to get the mummy back.
Now, if he is not returned,
I am going to close every frat house
and search every room
on this campus.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Uh, sharpe and Parker, you may go.
Captain, I think the city police
should be brought in on this.
Absolutely not.
Now, come on.
This is an internal affair.
We don't need 'em.
You're overreacting, Doug.
That mummy could be dangerous.
There is something on the wrappings.
Something very strange.
There's already a boy
in the hospital.
Anybody else who touches that
mummy could end up the same way.
If that's so,
whoever has taken the mummy
is going to end up in the hospital
sooner or later.
And then I'll nab 'em.
And nobody has to know about it.
Not the police, not the press.
Fine.
We'd better find that mummy
before somebody else gets hurt.
Hey.
Hey, what's goin' on back here?
Captain Willoughby, I want you
to search the campus.
Turn it upside down if necessary,
but find that mummy.
Yes, sir.
You got it.
Here's why I'm so concerned.
The structure is just crazy.
The nucleus is unstable,
the chromosomal pattern
is mystifying,
and the cells are multiplying
at a rate so fast,
I can hardly measure it.
Yes?
We'll be right there.
Yes, whatever it is,
it's highly delatropic.
It breaks down tissues faster than
anything we've ever encountered.
And it doubles its mass
reproductively every 65 minutes,
provided it has enough food.
Food?
Well, any organic tissue.
In this case, human flesh.
Hi, doc.
I'm sorry I screwed up your show.
It's okay.
You were upstaged
by the disappearing act anyway.
When you find that guy, I want to be
the first one that knows.
You got it.
Mind if I take a look at that hand?
Sure, doc.
Take care of yourself, Michael.
Okay.
Dr. fehr, Dr. fehr.
You're needed
in emergency ward number 4.
Please answer extension number 75.
What's the prognosis?
Well, there's no
skeletal damage yet,
but the nerves, tendons,
musculature, circulatory vessels
are virtually destroyed.
Excuse me, Dr. Hayworth.
Mrs. Goldstein is here.
Fine.
I'll be right there.
Excuse me, gentlemen,
but I will stay in touch.
Wait a minute, doctor.
Truthfully, what can you do for him?
Amputate before it goes any further.
Ooh.
Oh... go--
what were you doing?
Sh-- sherri, honey,
i came over to see you.
Then, what were you staring
at her for, bozo face?
Ow! I don't know!
Sherri!
- Hey!
- I hate you!
Listen-- sherri, will ya listen
for a minute?
Come on, baby.
Don't be mad.
I brought ya a present.
[ Sniffs 1
what?
Gimme a kiss first.
No way.
No kiss, no present.
Oh--
okay, where's my present?
Wow.
Where'd you get this?
I found it in an old box.
Dr. serrano?
Yeah, this is captain Willoughby.
Yeah.
Look, I'm in the
electrical supply room.
President Rossmore told me to call
you if I saw anything suspicious.
This is Linda flores
taking your requests tonight.
So give me a call at 662-8200.
And now, to Brian from sheilagh,
and to Christy from all the guys
at delta psi--
so this is where you hide out when
you're not taking my picture, huh?
Cheapest rent on campus,
right next to the reactor.
Hi, I'm Jamie Reynolds.
And so am I.
No, I'm dick traveland, and this is
tonight's edition of two on one.
Today, here at the
California institute of the sciences,
they held a press conference
to show off their new mummy,
but when they opened the coffin,
guess what?
It wasn't a mummy.
It was a daddy.
Oh, my god.
No, it wasn't anything.
The coffin was empty.
Em pw?
As a tomb.
I wonder how much they paid
for that thing.
Whatever it was, it was too much.
Jamie, I think the institute
is in grave trouble.
Oh, dick.
Sorry.
At any rate, it all started
this morning
when Wendell j. Rossmore
of the institute
called a press conference
to show the world their find.
It's worth over a hundred bucks.
I could let you have it for say, 50.
Hey, where am I gonna get 50 bucks?
Hey, come on, Greg.
I know you got paid today.
Just imagine
what Ellen's gonna think
when you walk in
with a present like that.
Name your restaurant, baby.
To our love.
Forever.
It's nice.
Um, excuse me.
Sherry, I'll be right back.
Hey.
Brother sharpe!
Imagine meeting you here!
Yeah, especially
in this outrageously
expensive restaurant
with nine different kinds of forks.
How do you suppose he can afford
a place like this, brother Robinson?
Hey, look, it's hard to figure,
brother Vogel,
especially since he owes us
25 bucks apiece.
Hey, look, come on.
I need that.
I just ordered the food.
That's okay.
We'll pay for it.
We'll eat it, too.
Look, I'm here with sherri.
Okay.
We'll eat her food, too.
Hey, listen, I know we can, uh,
share the food.
But, listen,
we have to flip for the lady.
Tails seems appropriate?
Hey.
How would you guys like
to double your money?
Wow.
Yeah.
You give that to a girl,
she'll never forget you.
Okay. It's a deal.
Hey, baby.
- Oh!
- Mm
shh.
Don't wake the baby.
I promised miss mcginnis
I'd be really quiet.
Come on.
Tadaa!
What time are they gonna
come home?
Not until midnight.
This is Linda flores on kcis.
And now, a special message for those
naughty boys and girls
who took the lnstitute's mummy.
Here's my in-studio guest, our own
professor Douglas mccadden.
Thank you very much, Linda.
To whom it may concern: The fungus
on the mummy's wrappings
is extremely dangerous.
If you have come
into contact with it,
please seek
medical attention at once.
If you discover the mummy,
do not touch it.
Call the police or the institute
or even this radio station.
Lemme know what happens.
I promise you'll be the
first reporter on the scene.
Thought I lost it
there for a minute.
Guess it must've fallen out of
my pocket and into the baby's crib.
He sure liked it.
I hope you do, too.
Greg, it's beautiful.
Hey.
It wasn't glowing like that
when I bought it.
Oh, it's so warm.
Damn!
Can't you let the kid cry?
He wants his doll.
I'll be right back.
Can you treat her?
Oh, lt. Hummer,
I believe you know
our pathologist, Ken Melrose.
- Of course.
- Lieutenant.
And this is professor
Douglas mccadden of the institute.
- How're you doing?
- Professor.
I've brought lt. Plummer
up to date on everything.
Doctor, what about Ellen?
Well, I'm consulting by phone
with Dr. Cunningham
of the Atlanta center
for control of disease.
Oh? You expecting
an epidemic?
No, but if anyone knows
anything about unusual disorders,
it's Atlanta.
We've sent them samples.
They have all of our data now,
you see.
And what have they come up with?
So far, nothing.
I understand there was a witness
to this accident involving the girl.
Yeah, her boyfriend,
uh, Greg hauser.
He's here in the hospital now.
Okay, hauser.
Describe the attacker.
Was he black? White?
Come on, let's hear it now!
Don't sit there! Talk!
That's enough, Willoughby.
I'll take it from here.
Hey, plummer, this kid
saw the guy who did it.
I'm trying to get a description,
but he won't cooperate.
That'll be all, captain Willoughby.
Greg, this is lt. Plummer
from the police department.
He wants to ask a few questions,
that's all.
Greg, was it?
Okay, Greg.
Just tell me what you saw.
A horrible...
Face.
Whose face, Greg?
Whose face was it?
Mummy.
Look, he's still in shock.
I think I'd better take him
under observation for a few hours.
Greg, come with me.
How's Michael Goldstein?
They had to amputate.
But I think they got it all.
Ken.
How's Ellen this morning?
Uh, Dr. Hayworth wants
to try a surgical laser,
to burn the fungus off,
just as soon as they make sure
there aren't any broken bones or--
I took a look at these x-rays
you sent me.
What did you think?
You were right.
Skeletal structure is abnormal.
An extended clavicle, oversized
sternum, displaced mastoid process--
Doug?
- Hi, Ken.
- Hi, susie.
Ken, I want you to listen to this.
I think I'm onto something.
This scroll, it basically tells the
story of king tutankhamen's soldiers
discovering a stranger
in the desert. All right?
Because of his unusual appearance,
the Egyptians assumed
him to be a god,
sent to advise their own god king.
So king tut goes
forth to greet this deity,
whom he calls "ankh-vinharis".
Now, listen to this.
"All-knowing tutankhamen reached
out to touch the weary traveler
and was sorely burned
and afflicted with a disease
that consumed his flesh."
Hm.
"Likewise were all servants who laid
soothing hands on the boy king.
All died, save only the strange
traveller himself,
who lay near death
and without strength,
but who would not pass
into the afterworld."
So they simply sealed him alive
in a corner of tut's tomb,
along with all
the afflicted servants.
Tell me something.
Are you suggesting that our fungus
is the same disease
that killed tut and his servants?
And it's been dormant
for 3000 years?
And now it's not?
Suppose it were true.
Okay, just suppose.
What would we have to do?
We'd have to figure out how it was
stimulated out of dormancy.
Then we might know how to stop it.
Well?
But, Doug,
it's an unbelievable concept.
What else have we got?
Damn it!
Have you seen this?
We look ridiculous.
We were seen on every channel.
Mm-hm.
And look at this.
"Where is my mummy?
A fraternity party Saturday night.
Please wear costumes."
That's all we need.
Oh.
Get me Dr. Hayworth.
It's an emergency.
Get a hold of her!
Tell her not to X-ray Ellen winters.
Do not X-ray Ellen winters!
Dr. Hayworth, call the operator.
Stat.
Gosh.
- Hi, susie.
- Hi, Stanley.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Not right now, okay?
I'm really in a rush.
What is it?
Are you still going out
with professor mccadden?
I don't think that's any
of your business, Stanley.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got a very busy schedule.
Well, look, I'm sorry.
This conversation hasn't gone
as I'd hoped it would.
Here, take this.
I can't take this.
Take this, think of me,
and maybe I'll see ya sometime.
Stanley!
I don't see anything.
Let's get out of here.
What was that?
Eh...
Nothing but a damned door.
Keep looking.
Somebody must've broke in.
It's the fungus.
The mummy walks!
Stop it! Hey!
Mummy needs love.
Mummy been in box too long.
Get off of me!
Hey, look, man, i--
i was only kidding.
Hi, Jack.
How do I look?
Come on.
As Cleopatra would say,
"see ya later, guys."
Did he hurt you?
No. I'm all right.
Thanks for being there.
Conehead!
Peter! Grow up.
Just grow up.
I swear, you are such a dork
sometimes.
Gross.
Hey, baby.
You want maybe I should make you up
like mummy?
I'm Cleopatra!
I swear...
Hey, hold it down.
You guys hear about the girl
who got lost in king tut's tomb?
Nine months later
she was a "mummy".
Hey, Peter, I thought you were gonna
wear a costume.
Love your outfit, bill.
Thanks.
Love your necklace.
It's so unique.
What'd you do, get a truck load
of those things?
Excuse us, pal.
Enough of this crap.
Now, listen, you pervert.
You don't disappear, I'm gonna
kick your bandaged butt.
Who is that?
Just some chicken frat rat.
Hey, have you seen Sarah?
I've got a present for her.
No.
I think she's outside.
Thanks.
Sarah?
Sarah?
Sarah, is that you?
No, she's not Sarah!
And I sure as hell ain't.
You just wanna get lost?
Sarah.
Bill.
Jeff.
Ready, Sarah?
Hey, Sarah, what is going on?
Sorry, buddy.
This is only a two-seater.
Hey, Sarah, what happened?
Damn!
That's it.
I'm through with women.
I'm gonna be a priest.
- Well, hello.
- Hi.
- How's it goin'?
- How are you, ladies?
- Nice dress.
- I like you. I'll be right back.
- Where are you goin'?
- Be right back.
- See you later.
- All right.
Hey!
Look, I gotta go over to my office
and check this out.
Can I come along?
No, no.
I'll be right back.
Really, I just wanna see if there
was some sort of power drain.
Be careful.
Lock the door and keep it locked.
It was on the wall right there,
so whoever stole the mummy
must've stashed him in here.
Oh, look who's here.
Come to change a lightbulb, Parker?
No, actually, I came
to blow up the reactor.
Hm.
Hey, do you need any help?
Hey!
Hey, bill?
He's dead.
Hello.
Yes, it's he.
Do I have the time right?
What?
I'll be right over.
Ah, professor.
Thought you might be interested
in this.
What happened?
Well, we found this.
It's definitely
from the mummy's wrappings.
Looks like somebody's
playing a very sick game.
Please stay away from the
green stuff if there's any on him.
It's very dangerous.
It can be fatal.
I don't think the fungus killed him.
All right, what did?
Parker did it.
- Impossible.
- Why?
It looks like every bone
in that boy's body's broken.
There's not a mark on him.
We figure he hit that wall
with incredible force.
Well, Jack Parker's pretty strong.
Nobody's that strong.
I know you, Rossmore,
and this isn't the first time
you've tried to cover something up
because you don't wanna
smell bad in the press.
I beg your pardon, lt.
You're addressing the president
of an accredited university.
Don't interfere
with this investigation.
Don't withhold information.
And don't play detective.
What about the mummy?
Well, you look for your mummy,
doctor.
I'm looking for a murderer.
Susie and I have been researching
a theory of sorts.
First of all, I wanna warn you,
it's gonna sound very unbelievable,
but please just bear with me.
I know it can't be proved,
but this fungus,
I think we all agree it's like
nothing else we've ever encountered.
I'd have to agree with that.
Suppose it was because
it didn't come from earth.
Where else would it
have come from?
All right, Ken, you've seen
these x-rays of our mummy.
You said he wasn't
a normal human being.
Suppose he wasn't a human being.
Uh,doug-
I said it would sound crazy.
Remember the scroll.
It said, "all who touched the weary
traveller became afflicted
and died except ankh-vanharis."
Because he was immune.
Because he wasn't human.
We all agree that we're dealing
with something unknown,
but I can't, myself, take a quantum
leap into the supernatural.
I'm sorry, professor,
but with all due respect,
we have to have some basis
in fact.
I've got the best available
equipment at my disposal,
and I've been-- I've-- I've come up
with absolutely nothing.
I mean, it simply does not exist.
Look, Doug,
the bottom line is this:
Whatever it is,
we still have to find
out who took it and where it is now.
Otherwise,
more people are gonna get hurt.
Thanks to mccadden,
we are in deep trouble.
Two of our donors have withdrawn
their bequests.
500,000 dollars
out the window. Aw.
Maybe there's a way of turning
this whole thing around.
How, Bruce? How?
- What if he stole the mummy?
- Huh?
He wasn't ready
to unveil that mummy,
so he had it stolen and hidden where
he could work on it in private.
And then when he's ready
to find it and unveil it,
he'll find it
and come out a big hero.
No.
I don't think that scenario's
going to hold water, Bruce.
I do.
And I think I can prove it.
You don't think it's
walking around on its own, do you?
Oh!
There's something out there!
- What?
-Lt's in the hall!
Come on, Doug.
Wake up.
What time is it?
You've been sleeping all day.
You must have been really tired.
Doug, look.
Where's that coming from?
My bracelet.
Suse, that looks
exactly like the diagram
that I found inside the scroll.
That can't be a coincidence.
Susie, where'd you get
this bracelet?
Well, it was a present
from this guy named Stanley.
Do you know where it came from?
No.
Susie, can you call him?
- Now?
- Yeah, honey. It's important.
That diagram and this crystal
have the same pattern.
They've gotta be related.
I've seen that pattern before,
i know I have.
Or something like it anyway.
When you asked me about in your
office, I couldn't remember, but--
what, hon? What?
I know.
My brother used to build radios,
and I think he had diagrams
lying around that looked like that.
Radios?
Radios.
You know, maybe Parker will know.
- This was in the coffin?
- Yeah.
It's amazing. It looks like
some kind of wiring schematic.
Like for making radios?
Right, but what would it be doing
in a 3000-year-old coffin?
Jack, could this have
something to do with it?
Maybe. Crystals could be
used as transmitters.
Jack, look at this.
What's goin' on, Doug?
There must be a connection.
If this did belong to ankh-vanharis,
what would he have used it for?
I mean, he couldn't have been
building radios in ancient Egypt.
Susie, I want you to go
to the astronomy center,
see what else you can find
on ancient phenomena.
But also, check out those
NASA information bulletins
on ultra-long-range communication.
Honey, if you don't find anything,
come right back.
Okay.
What's it printed on?
This doesn't feel like paper.
Analysis came up a blank.
It matches no other material,
either natural or synthetic.
Like nothing else, huh?
It's like the fungus.
And ankh-vanharis.
Where's everybody?
Field trip.
They all went to the observatory.
To see some comet or something.
Thank you.
There's definitely a connection
between the two.
It's logical, but I still don't know
what it means.
Let me have another look
at that crystal.
Susie!
No!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Let me out!
Oh!
And the next thing I remember
is waking up here.
Okay.
I appreciate you answering
these questions, miss Fuller.
If you think of anything else,
give me a call, okay?
Lt. Hummer,
you don't really still believe
this is a fraternity joke, do you?
No. No, I think this is
a very sick individual.
- But, lieutenant, it's--
- try to get some sleep now, okay?
Ow! Damn! Ow!
Suse, what happened?
Doug, you know me.
I'm not the hysterical type.
But it was him.
It was ankh-vanharis.
He's alive.
He didn't wanna hurt me.
He just wanted my bracelet.
My-- my crystal bracelet.
It was glowing.
And he-- he had a crystal
just like it in his chest.
Wasn't Ellen wearing jewelry,
some kind of necklace?
Yeah.
So was bill Vogel,
according to the coroner.
Susie, do you know if there's
any more of those crystals?
No, I don't.
I'm going back to my office
and check out that schematic again.
Go ahead. It's okay.
Jack.
Come on, Doug.
We got him.
He was here.
What's that?
How did these get here?
One, two, three, four, five.
- Crystals?
- Sharpe.
- Hey!
- Where'd you get those crystals?
What crystals?
The ones you've been
selling your friends.
L-- i-- I got 'em at the swap meet.
Sharpe, don't lie to me.
What about these?
Ellen winters and bill Vogel
are dead.
Because of those crystals.
And susie Fuller's in the hospital.
I didn't mean
for anyone to get hurt.
Where are the rest of 'em?
There's one
in my top drawer there.
I gave the other one
to my girlfriend.
- Sherri?
- Yeah.
Oh, my god.
She's jennie's roommate.
All right.
Call your girlfriend right now.
She's at work.
Call her.
Suppose he is building a long-range
communication device.
He's got the circuitry, he's got
the electrical transformer,
he's got most of the crystals.
What else does he need?
A power source.
Did you find her?
Yes, but she doesn't have it on.
It's at home, bathroom cabinet.
Jennie!
Bus)'-
I'm going over there!
All right.
I'll meet you at the reactor.
Okay, mom.
Love to dad.
I love you, too.
Bye.
No.
No.
Please. No.
Linda, this is professor mccadden.
Get your camera and come over
to the reactor building.
Linda, now.
Jennie! Jennie!
Jennie.
Did he touch you?
No.
He took the crystal.
Thank you, Douglas.
What are you guys doing here?
Proving my theory.
I knew all along
that you'd taken that mummy
and now I know
where you've hidden it.
- What?
- Oh, come off it, professor.
Don't you realize
what has been going on here?
Yes, as a matter of fact.
You've been getting away
with murder.
Well, the game is over.
And as soon as I call
lt. Plummer,
you'll be on your way to jail,
and I'll have what I deserve.
Jack?
Shoot it!
No!
The crystal!
No!
