And me, my nephew.

Morning, Claudia.

Claudia, what's wrong?

Claudia?

Something's wrong with me.

It's like I'm having hallucinations.

The Alexandria Museum exhibition of Cleopatra. Supposedly the most expensive

collection for relics ever assembled.

What do you mean by hallucinations?

Visions.

I was being chased.

Why do you think someone's after you? She's over there having some kind of...

Because... Because I had the box.

I was there.

The moment I looked at the brochure, I saw flashes, and then once I saw the

jewelry box... What did you mean by something being inside that nobody's

seen? There's... Some sort of a hidden part to it.

Like a secret compartment?

Yeah.

And I know how to open it.

Where is the secret compartment?

It's right here.

Right below where it says, Our love is eternal, my beloved.

How did you know it said that?

I don't know.

I don't know why I know any of this.

It must have been in the brochure.

No, it doesn't. And she wouldn't have read it anywhere else if nothing else

published on these items.

I know you don't know how to read hieroglyphics.

Get me Muhammad Khalifa at the Alexandria Museum.

Are you serious?

Eddie!

Why is it taking so long?

Everyone is moving as quickly as they can.

Sir.

If we are not ready for the opening, I will hold you personally responsible.

What is it? What's the matter, Moe? Got up on the wrong side of the bed?

Sidney.

No, no, no. Forgive my abruptness.

Bit of a stressful situation here.

Mere days before an opening and no one will move faster than a snail on the

of a turtle.

Well, if there's anyone that can whip them into shape, it's you.

But you did not call to hear my problems.

What can I do for you?

I received your brochure.

Impressive, no?

Fabulous. Tell me, the gold jewelry box that belonged to Cleopatra. The

centerpiece of our exhibit.

By any chance, does it contain a secret compartment?

What? I can't believe this.

Sydney.

You know very well that secret compartments are almost never found in

from the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Perhaps you are confusing it with a Venetian jewelry box.

I have a source that tells me that Cleopatra's jewelry box contains a

compartment. We have had Cleopatra's jewelry box for 2 ,000 years.

If there was a hidden compartment, don't you think we would have found it? I was

skeptical at first as well, but now I'm not so sure.

Who, may I ask, is this mysterious source?

First things first, Mo. Tell me, is there anything to it?

Sidney, if it was anyone else but you... Sheriff,

fetch me Cleopatra's gold jewelry box.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Right, Sidney?

I have the box.

You use your index finger and thumb.

Sidney, who is that speaking?

One of my researchers.

Who's lost her mind.

I await your instructions.

Put your right index finger on the crown of Newt's head.

On the crown of the head, yes.

I have done so.

Reach your thumb down to touch her... butt button.

Did you say... But... All right.

Now, it's important that you press down on both of these places at the same

time.

Nothing is happening.

He has to press really hard.

Push harder, Mohammed.

I don't believe this.

A secret compartment.

Mohammed, tell me, what do you see?

It is as you predicted, Sidney.

There has to be a reasonable explanation.

What about the necklace?

While we're on a hot streak here, is the necklace inside?

No.

Not the necklace.

But there is something.

An ancient papyrus.

Does it have a seal?

It has the royal seal of Cleopatra herself.

Sidney, Sidney, I beg you, tell me how it is you knew of the compartment.

I'm sorry, I can't, Mo. Not just yet. I'll talk to you soon.

Sidney, wait.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I have to say that was very impressive.

I did good, huh?

You did so good, I want you to book three tickets to Alexandria immediately.

What did I do with the travel agent's new number?

Sydney, I must admit this is a remarkable coincidence, but don't you

being a little hasty?

You saw yourself, Nigel. She knew how to open the secret compartment.

Yeah, but going all the way to Egypt just because Claudia qualifies for a

spot on a psychic friend's network. I mean, if she doesn't follow up, it could

be embarrassing.

If she can, this could lead to one of the most important discoveries of this

century. I'm willing to take the risk. Oh, no.

What?

We're not going.

Why not?

Max Schneider.

Who? Max Schneider from the accounting department.

Sidney, we've been putting off a university audit for like six months.

rescheduled four times.

When is it?

Tomorrow.

And the dean said he'd withhold all your research funds until you completed one.

Yes, it's disappointing, but at least you don't put your reputation at risk.

there are other opportunities.

You handle it.

What? Two tickets it is.

Sidney, I'm terrible at math.

I mean, I can't even count out the right changes in the toll booth.

But we've got all the receipts. You'll do fine.

You don't understand.

These accounting people, they're merciless.

I mean, they may come in the guise of a little old man in glasses, balding, a

pocket protector, but deep down inside, they're loose for themselves.

Nigel, I wouldn't hand this off to you if I didn't have complete confidence

you can do it.

Quite the exhibit.

I'd love a tour later if you get a chance.

It would be my pleasure.

Mohammed will be with us in just a moment.

Buddy, are you all right?

Yeah.

I think.

Sidney!

Whoa.

How nice to see you.

And you.

I trust you had a pleasant flight.

Yes, yes, very good. My assistant, Claudia.

A pleasure.

Nice.

Sidney, the carbon dating was positive.

It's authentic.

Definitely from the Ptolemaic dynasty.

What about the writing?

That's where our problems begin.

It's written in hieratics.

Precisely. What?

Hieratics is a combination of hieroglyphs and an ancient cursive

secret documents.

Unfortunately, we have never seen it written in this code before.

But, judging from other samples of her writing...

It was written by Cleopatra herself.

So if we do decipher it, it may lead us to the necklace.

Yes.

So, Sidney, I put all my cards on the table.

Now you.

How did you know of the secret compartment?

Moe.

Would you excuse us a moment, please?

If word gets out that I have a lead on the necklace, Every relic hunter we know

will be after us.

And they won't have your best interest at heart. Yes, yes, I understand.

Discretion is paramount.

But my concern is for the source.

No one else must know.

You have my word on it.

So, what is it?

A book?

A rare parchment?

Divine inspiration, what?

Claudia?

Tell Mohammed what you know about this secret compartment.

I've been having visions of Cleopatra.

It was as though I was there.

I was with her.

She handed me the necklace to put in the box.

And I knew about the secret compartment.

And I knew how to open it. What other visions did you have?

Fragments, mostly.

Doesn't make a lot of sense.

We believe it once belonged to Achilles.

General to Caesar Augustus. Yes.

And commander of Alexandria at the time of Cleopatra's untimely death.

Claudia?

I'm all right.

There is a therapist at the University of Cairo.

What kind of therapist?

She specializes in past life regression.

You think I had a past life?

The transmigration of the soul is a belief embraced by many civilizations,

including the ancient Egyptians.

Is it serious?

There isn't much time. Hide this where I have told you.

Where do you tell no one?

Right on the gutter.

Yes, go now!

Run!

Run where?

Where are you going?

It's a long corridor.

I know there's a door.

It's in my hand.

Where are you taking it?

Do you know where you're taking the necklace?

I think that's enough for now.

Claudia, on the count of three, you will open your eyes and be back in the

familiar surroundings of your hotel room.

One.

Two.

Three.

That was a trip.

You all right?

Yeah. So what do you think, Dr. Hosni?

I see no reason to doubt her recall.

It's consistent with other past life regressions I've conducted.

The part of her vision that was clear was the one she told you about, simply

being in the bath and seeing the necklace.

But from what I've heard, the rest of it was very traumatic.

She may be repressing the memories.

It may take some time to bring them out to her consciousness.

Sid, my name was Iras.

Iras? Iras was the handmaiden that was with Cleopatra when she died.

She's very well documented in history. She's mentioned in the writings of the

Greek historian Plutarch.

But you still don't remember where you took the necklace.

No. Claudia said earlier that when she touched the Roman helmet, an

image came to her mind. I can't help wondering what would happen if she held

Cleopatra's jewelry box.

Well, we're supposed to meet Mohammed Khalifa at the museum for lunch today

anyway.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm just a little dizzy.

You know what, Claudia, why don't you just stay here and rest? I'll go talk to

Mohammed and see if you can come by later.

Okay.

Thank you, Dr. Hosni.

They took the box and the papyrus.

The police are on their way.

Everything was locked.

The vault, the office.

When they came in, the vault was open and the box gone.

And it's waiting in its place.

And while these expenses...

may seem excessive in the context of your average history department.

Nice suit.

Have you had a passion for accounting long?

I mean, it must be fascinating meeting with the faculty, learning about their

expenditures, striking fear into their hearts with the verbal equivalent of

bamboo sticks on their fingernails. Hello?

Am I interrupting something?

You? No, not at all.

Just awaiting an audit from one of those nasty little accounting trolls.

You're a welcome visitor. What can I do for you?

Well, maybe you can help me find a bridge to live under.

Maxine Schneider?

Accounting troll?

This is not the first time.

What do you mean?

There's been a rash of recent thefts. All relics of Cleopatra is all

to the same thief.

The scorpion.

Only relics related to Cleopatra?

Sounds like someone who's obsessed with her.

He takes nothing else.

Now that he has his hands on a papyrus, he will be after the main prize.

The necklace.

Only if he can decode the hieratics.

Fortunately, you still have Claudia and her memories.

Yeah, unfortunately, we may reach a dead end there.

Unless... Unless... We may not have the jewelry box.

But Claudia, when regressed by Dr. Hosni, described a temple with a bath.

She said she had been there with Cleopatra.

The Cleopatra Temple is being restored near El Montazan. I wonder if being in

the temple itself will jog her memory.

Yes.

The weirdest feeling.

Like deja vu.

The room is being painstakingly restored, according to old drawings.

Claudia, what?

It's here.

It's here.

The General!

He came in here!

Achilles? What did you do with us?

Where did you go?

There's another exit.

Can you show it to us?

There used to be a curtain here covering it. Where does it lead to?

In the name of Jesus, open the door!

She's not wearing the necklace.

Search everywhere!

Come see me.

Claudia, wait!

She's in a very receptive state.

I said I'm okay.

I want to remember.

I need to.

Well, if you're sure.

Yeah.

You are running through the tunnel, out of the temple.

You have the necklace.

Where are you taking it?

Outside.

I'm supposed to go to the Shrine of Newt.

That make sense?

Newt was the Egyptian sky goddess. Her image was depicted on Cleopatra's

box. Well, if it was here, it must have been centuries ago.

Who knows what time has done to it.

No, it has to be here somewhere.

You've done great work, Claudia. It's been a long morning.

We can try another session this afternoon.

When I get back to the hotel, I'll check in with Khalifa.

He might have some knowledge about the location of the Shrine of Newton.

You know, Claudia, no one will be disappointed in you if you decide to

regression therapy.

What about the necklace?

Well, if it is still around, there are other ways of finding it.

Yeah.

The thing is, is I've come too far to turn back.

I mean, if I stop, I'll be wondering about this the rest of my life.

I'm just exhausted right now.

I'm going to take a nap.

Get some rest.

Thanks.

Yes, Muhammad Khalifa, please. Can you hold, please? Yes, I'll hold.

What is it? Mo, it's Sydney.

Sydney. We hit a dead end outside Cleopatra's temple.

Claudia pointed us in the direction of the Shrine of Nut, only there isn't one.

It has been referred to in several of the ancient texts.

But its location has never been uncovered.

We always thought we would find it underwater, but all our attempts have

I need you to get me all of your historical charts on the El Muntazan

I will find what is available and bring them myself.

Right. Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah. You?

Shetty?

He's a good man.

We're here when you need him.

18th Dynasty.

Serves you right.

We have here, June 12th, Toronto, 23 Canadian dollars for personal expenses

you said were necessary for business.

Some embassy party. But I don't see any description here of the items, Mr.

Bailey.

I have a receipt here.

for 164 South African rand at $31 .75.

That's an exchange rate of 5 .16.

Mr. Bailey, the rand hasn't risen above 4 .9 in the past three years.

Do you think it's because of the regression therapy that we put Claudia

jeopardy?

Well, the only person that knew besides you and I and Claudia is Muhammad

Khalifa. But he's put his life into that museum collection.

I can't imagine he's planning on stealing from it.

Yeah.

Well, the one thing that we do know is that the Scorpion was prepared to kidnap

Claudia. Her regressions are just as important to him as they are to us.

Claudia, are you okay?

It was like when you remember something in the middle of the night and you have

to write it all down before you forget.

Only I wasn't awake.

Yes. Some people call that automatic writing.

You're a subconscious doing all the work.

Claudia, you wrote an hieroglyph.

I guess so.

Is this a...

A map to the Shrine of Newt? I don't know.

I mean, it could be. Well, this looks like it could be the Temple of

And the smaller structure... It looks like it says... The Shrine of Newt.

In all my years of practice, I've never seen anything like this.

But we were out there before.

And there weren't any buildings in that direction.

Maybe there was something we weren't seeing.

That was exhausting.

I'm so hungry I could eat a wild boar.

Claudia, aren't you a vegetarian?

Oh, my God.

Don't tell me I was into pork products in a previous life.

It must be Khalifa.

Oh, hi.

I was expecting Mom, and please, come in.

I'm...

Sorry to have to tell you this.

Mr. Khalifa is dead.

What?

How? I was just talking to him.

It happened less than an hour ago.

The sting of his scorpion.

Muhammad Khalifa's dead.

Oh, no.

I wanted to bring you the news myself.

And if there's anything I can do.

Well, Khalifa was bringing us.

of any new developments about the missing jewelry box.

Claudia, I'm sure if Sharif hears anything, he'll let us know.

Naturally.

And I trust you will do the same.

Of course.

This has been a sad, sad day. Let me know about the arrangement.

Trust him.

There's something not right with him.

Why'd he come all the way out here? He could have just called.

Well, as curious as its point of origin seems to be, you now have a map.

Well, if it gets us to that necklace before the scorpion, it's worth a shot.

Well, if my drawing's accurate, then the Shrine of Newt should be somewhere over

there.

Not as far as those monuments.

There's nothing any closer.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, I just kind of drew it.

Like there was something guiding me.

One minute.

What?

The orientation's wrong.

It should be pointing this way.

But that doesn't make any sense, Claudia.

That's Cleopatra's temple. When you drew the Shrine of Nude, it was away from

the temple.

I don't know.

But I'm sure that's it.

But where?

Why, that looks like the pharaoh you drew.

Looks like some of the hieroglyphs are the same.

How can the Shrine of Newt be in Cleopatra's temple?

How could a secret compartment be in Cleopatra's box?

All coming back to me.

It's the thing that I have to do.

That's it.

It's like the bog.

The Shrine of Newt wasn't inside Cleopatra's temple.

It's underneath it.

He wasn't drawing a separate structure away from the temple.

He was drawing the layout of the shrine that lies beneath it.

Ow! Oh.

No!

Claudia, what's the matter? I can't go in there. What's wrong?

You're bleeding.

Something terrible happened in there.

I died.

I'm not going in there. It's all right. You don't have to.

You found the entrance.

You've done more than enough.

What are you doing?

I'm going to drop you off at the hotel.

And then you're going to come back.

I'm sorry, Phoebe.

You did great, Claudia.

How did it go?

Where is Sydney?

We found the entrance to the Shrine of Newt.

She went back to go in.

No body, no blood.

If I triggered these, I must have known what they were doing.

Yeah.

Sid, I can't stand the suspense.

Are you inside the shrine? Did you find anything?

Yeah, I'm in.

And it looks like they're trapped.

Sidney, I can't hear you. You're breaking up.

I think someone may be in here with me.

Is something wrong?

She said something about traps.

Hello?

Sidney, I'm just getting static.

I can't hear you.

Claudia. Sidney.

Traps.

Do your thing, Doc.

Excuse me?

Put me under.

You've got to regress me.

I think Sidney's in trouble.

Oh, Claudia, I'm not sure this is advisable.

Obviously something traumatic happened to you at that shrine, but it could be

dangerous to regress you to that point.

I've got to take my chance.

Well, they were items we needed to ensure our entry into the, uh, empty

Which, by the way, um, yielded the fabled papyrus ring worn by Queen

and... and which now sits in the University Museum.

And how exactly did these items get you into the embassy party?

That's it!

I have had it!

We've been sitting here the last four hours while you grill me on minuscule

discrepancies, like it's on trial for murder or something. Meanwhile, the

University Museum sits jammed back with treasures worth untold millions that

Sidney and I have risked our lives for.

Now, where do you get off... taking that off? What?

What are you doing?

I've been hot for you since I walked in this door.

But you've let me steamroller all over you.

And now you're standing up for me, taking charge. And it is turning me on.

Where are you now?

Where my mistress Cleopatra has ordered me.

The Shrine of Newt.

Hurry. Hurry, I must hurry!

Let's hide the necklace before Achilles can find me. I swore to the goddess Newt

never to tell. I will die before I do so.

Claudia, you're safe now.

You're in your hotel room.

Do you know what happened?

I know where the necklace is.

Let's go.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

All right, Claudia.

I'm right by your side.

It has to be here.

His name was right.

Talk about a painful way to die.

We better be careful.

Some of these traps may not have been triggered.

It's okay.

You know what I'm doing, remember?

Oh, my God. Serene!

Vicky!

Get back!

Get back!

Make a move and the girl died.

You, stay where you are.

Now tell me, Eras, where is the necklace?

I will kill you.

Where is it?

Tell me where it is!

I'd rather die.

It's inside the altar.

Show me.

It's over there.

Forgot to tell him to press the other symbol.

Keeps the traps from springing.

Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

You know, I have an outfit that that would look just perfect with.

Claudia. Can't I try it on?

I think just one.

I think you've earned it.

What do you think?

You're a regular Cleopatra.

You are in a deep state of relaxation.

Claudia, what are you doing?

Shh.

I want you to look around you.

You know, you really shouldn't be messing around this kind of thing. I

I'm doing.

I've been teaching myself hypnotism.

Great.

Ever since getting back from our little adventure, I've decided this whole

hunting for relics thing is far too gory a profession for me. But with this past

life stuff, you get all the excitement without breaking your nails.

I see a cave.

What?

Nigel!

What happened? Are you okay?

I'm never, never, never, never doing this again.

Why? Who were you?

You don't want to know.
