The Crossrail is the biggest construction project in Europe, carving

new commuter train tunnels beneath the surface of London.

But today, an ancient tomb filled with the coffins of Crusader knights...

don't realise that London is a giant graveyard, a modern city built on

of death. Because of the tomb's proximity to the Thames, half the space

flooded, is that right, Doctor? There are even more coffins submerged

underwater. The tomb appears to have been built during the Second Crusade.

Which means it's filled with the bodies of crusader knights who invaded Egypt

before returning to England. It has also revealed a treasure trove of secrets

about London's history.

Clear them out, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, please stop what you're doing.

The train tunnel has been rerouted.

We are now taking control of this site.

Please collect your tools and gear and exit immediately.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. This is my site. What do you think you're doing?

Evacuate your men.

We'll take it from here.

Where are you people?

Thank you very much.

I have unearthed many ancient mysteries.

At last, this tomb reveals antiquity's darkest secret.

A secret erased from history and forgotten to time.

Princess Almanet.

heir to the throne of Egypt.

The Pharaoh's kingdom would one day be hers to rule.

Without mercy or fear, an Amunet would be worshipped as a living god.

Herod her destiny.

And Amunet understood power was not given.

It had to be taken.

Vowing revenge, she made a choice to embrace evil.

Set the god of death.

They made a pact.

A pact. that would unleash darkness itself.

Arminette was reborn.

A monster.

Yet the pact was not complete.

She vowed to bring the demon into our world in the body of a mortal man.

Together, they would take their vengeance upon humanity.

her sins.

Amalek was mummified, alive.

Her body parried far from Egypt.

There she would remain.

eternal darkness.

But death is a doorway and the past cannot remain buried.

Out of luck, huh, Sarge?

The civilians are gone.

It's filled with insurgents down there.

I guess we're too late.

We could do this.

Oh, no, no, no.

We are too late.

Command thinks we're doing advanced recon 100 miles from here.

Sarge, you're not going down there. You're right.

I'm not.

We are.

At least call in an airstrike.

Airstrike.

Bad idea. A little one. Just maybe they'll run off. I think command will

where we are. And we'll do 20 years and 11 worth for looting. Hey, what did I

tell you?

We are not looters.

We are liberators of precious antiquities. Right. But we don't even

down there.

Haram.

Haram is what's down there. Treasure.

No, the translator said haram means forbidden knowledge.

Like a curse. Around here, that's just another word for treasure.

And this guy, this Henry guy, he seems to want it pretty bad. Well, now he's

going to have to pay double.

Now, now. No, sir, I ain't going to this one. What? I'm not going.

Bill?

What are you going to do, stab me with that?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

You crazy bastard.

It's a full day's ride to the nearest water.

Dearest water is right down in that village.

Come on, Bill.

Where's your sense of adventure?

Well, that's just great, Nick!

That's just great!

Come on.

Slip in, slip out, just like we always do.

It's from here. Yes, sir.

Based on intelligence, we have reason to believe the insurgents were holding

civilian hostages.

We had to make a call. Wait for Delta to respond or go in alone.

It was Sergeant Morton's idea to go in, actually. Uh -huh.

Only to find out that the villagers had long since evacuated. Yeah, lucky for

them, not for us. Delta, south side perimeter.

Sir, we realized we were in the center of the insurgent stronghold.

It was too late. We were discovered. We started taking on heavy fire.

Well... Sir, Corporal Vail here is too humble to admit it, but he risked his

life to save mine.

He's a hero. In fact, I'd like to recommend him for a citation.

Let me run another scenario by you. Sir?

One in which two assholes from long -range reconnaissance, that would be

run all over northern Iraq just one step ahead of the enemy.

Except instead of hunting for the enemy, you hunt for antiquities.

stealing whatever isn't nailed down and selling it on the black market.

Meanwhile, these fanatical insurgents, trying to erase 5 ,000 years of history,

unwillingly cover your tracks.

It's a pretty good scam. Sergeant Morton?

Where is it?

What? Where's what?

The letter.

The map you stole from me.

Map? I don't know what you're talking about. How would I have even had an

opportunity to steal anything from you, Miss... Miss...

Okay. Sergeant Morton here thinks that I'll be too embarrassed to tell you that

I had him in my hotel room three nights ago in Baghdad. And whilst I was

sleeping, he went through my things.

I'm not embarrassed, Nick.

Disgusted, yes.

Regretful. Oh, certainly.

But mainly just amazed at your ability to mimic all the qualities of genuine

human intimacy, if only for 15 seconds.

Where's the map, Morton?

Sir, I admit that Miss Halsey and I did spend a delightful evening in Baghdad, a

very long and satisfying evening if her reactions are to be considered sincere.

But, sir, I left with nothing more than fond memories. Now, perhaps I may have

neglected to say goodbye to her the next morning only because she was exhausted

and I didn't want to wake her. And the reward for my gracious consideration?

Well, sir, as you can see, hell has no fury.

Sir. Oh, my God.

It's Egyptian.

Was that unusual?

We're in the Persian Gulf, Dale. Right.

Egypt's a thousand miles away, so it's unusual.

Put those down. Hurry.

Go get the rest. Got it.

Colonel, this is a significant find. I need your men to secure this village.

We're not even supposed to be here.

It's my job to make sure that anything of value stays out of enemy hands.

We have no idea what could be down there.

The contents of Tutankhamen's tomb alone were valued at 650 million pounds a

study. Understand?

Colonel, if I may. There's a couple of shape charges. We could just close this

hole right up in this hole so he can come back another day. Shut up.

Okay. You've got two hours. Then we're moving out. You're getting in the hole

with her. Him? Me. Yep.

Sir.

You gear up. That's an order. I'll be right here holding the rope, Sarge. Get

the damn hole, Vail. Oh, man.

I'm in a large chamber of some kind.

There's an inscription on the northern wall.

Give it to me.

Your fault, Nick. Your fault.

Do you see any treasure in here, Nick? Because I don't. You know what I see? I

see statues that I can't carry out. Keep it down. You keep it down.

What are you doing?

It is definitely a tomb.

Is that mercury?

Yeah.

The ancient Egyptians believed it weakened evil spirits.

Well, now we know better. Stuff will kill you. Yeah, after it makes you

There is mercury dripping from the ceiling into holes in the ground,

interconnected.

It's a canal system leading all the way to...

Get the lights.

Get everything out of the bags.

What did I do?

That's a lot of gold, Nick.

I'm in a large man -made cabin adjoining the antechamber. There are chiseled

stairs descending from the ledge.

There's a canal at the center of them that feeds a ritual well at the base

filled with mercury.

Pleated skirts, scarab signet rings.

This is a high priest of Amman from the temple in Thebes.

There is a ritual barrier chain that surrounds the well as a warning to

intruders to keep people out.

There isn't a single provision made for someone's journey into the underworld.

No canopic jars, no shabtis to be buried in a place like this.

Would have been a fate worse than death.

Nick!

Don't even think about it.

There are six watchers around the well, facing inward instead of out.

Whatever's in there, those chains aren't for bringing it up.

They're for holding it down.

Copy, sir. Get out now. We've got reports of bogeys inbound. We've got to

off. Tell Greenway we have to notify DTRA. For what? I need specialists from

Cairo, Seabourn, and Sheldon. Jenny, we are out of time. You better grab what

you can now. I am not leaving until I see what's in that pool. We're leaving

right now. I did not come to spa.

Okay. Okay. They bit me!

Goodbye.

Nick!

Tell Greenway he's going to send a team to get this thing out of here.

or he's going to have to explain why he left me behind.

We have visual on a severe sandstorm heading west.

60 seconds in the air, let's go!

It's not?

No.

You're welcome, by the way. How's that?

Because I saved your... whatever it is.

That was safely hidden for 5 ,000 years before you dropped a hellfire missile on

it. And you might never have found it otherwise.

Again, you're welcome.

You're going to deal with this?

The sickness in us?

An Egyptian sarcophagus in a tomb in Mesopotamia?

Why'd you say 15 seconds?

What? You told Greenway that I could mimic all the qualities of human

for 15 seconds.

I didn't have to tell you. It was not 15 seconds.

Well, however long it lasted, it wasn't real.

I never lied to you about my feelings.

You stole from me.

But I didn't lie.

Do you ever think of anyone but yourself?

I need something.

Something bigger than you can imagine.

My life's work.

And you're going to steal it.

How much do you think that's worth on the black market?

This is Dr.

Jennifer Halsey conducting a preliminary analysis of an Egyptian sarcophagus

discovered in the Nineveh province, northern Iraq.

The hieroglyphs are definitely New Kingdom.

It appears that the wife of King Manetra died in childbirth,

leaving her sole heir to the throne.

The girl.

Amen.

Corporal, what in the living hell are you doing, son?

Fail.

Corporal, fail.

Corporal, fail. Do you hear me talking to you? I said, what?

Fail. Fail.

Fail. Fail.

Put the knife down.

What the hell is this?

Miss Halsey?

Miss Halsey, do you think you're up to it?

I'm sorry, what?

We need your help identifying the bodies.

Hey, buddy.

You scared the shit out of me.

We need to talk, Nick.

What's happening?

You know what's happening.

Am I dead?

Dead?

No. But you're gonna wish you were.

Oh, my God. Nick?

Jen?

Oh!

What's happening? Where am I?

Who's in charge here?

Uh...

turbine miles away from the primary crash site. Over.

One

body

found. Obvious signs of life. Stand by.

Casualty confirmed deceased. Request attendance of ambulance personnel. Over.

Huh.

How did you get out of that plane?

There's not a single scratch on your body.

Thank you.

For what?

You saved my life.

You didn't do the same to me.

Nick.

Listen, Nick.

I think you should know something.

You know I work with a group of archaeologists.

Yeah. Well, we've developed this theory that an Egyptian princess had been

erased from the history books.

Deliberately.

We've been searching for something called the Dagger of Set.

A ceremonial knife with a large jewel at the hilt.

Set is the Egyptian god of death, and legend has it that the dagger and stone

together had the power to give Set physical form.

I'm convinced it was hidden here in Europe, stolen by crusaders centuries

I found reference to it in a manuscript written by a crusader knight that

suggested the dagger was broken apart, that the stone was buried with this

knight somewhere here in England.

A Matthew Crusader tomb was recently discovered under London.

We believe that the stone is in there somewhere.

That tomb is what led us to Arminette.

I think she's the princess in the legend.

The hieroglyphs said she murdered her father.

Murdered? Along with his child.

She made some sort of pact with the god of death.

And then we saw those birds.

Sandstorm and I. I mean, something is happening.

You're alive and I don't know how.

I'm sorry, Nick. I think we've... We've angered the gods.

Would you excuse me?

I'll be right back.

Identify, please.

Jenny, get me Henry.

Jennifer. This is a far more significant problem than we had ever imagined.

Something is happening, Henry. I'm worried about him. Bring your soldier to

London. Do not discuss anything further with him.

Understand?

What are you doing here? Jenny, it looks good.

Okay, this isn't happening. I mean, really great.

Really, stop.

You know, I always thought I had a chance with her. What? How do you

that? There's mercury in that tomb. I mean, how do you mess that up? It's just

in my head. It's in my head. No, it's not.

You shot me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You, you,

you.

Stabbed Greenway. I saved you. You murdered him. You shot me.

You tried to kill me.

You even went after Jenny. You shot me.

Three times.

Yes. Three times, Nick.

Okay, the third one was unnecessary.

You freaked me out. I panicked.

I'm sorry.

Okay? Not okay.

Look at me. Look at my face. I'm cursed, Nick, and you're cursed.

And there's only one way to break it. You're going to do exactly what she

or this is going to get a lot worse for both of us.

What do you mean, I'm cursed?

We walked into the chick's bathroom, by the way.

Yeah, it's a ladies' room.

What do you mean, I'm cursed?

How do you think you survived the crash?

You know what it means.

She's got plans for you, Nick.

Plans? You can't run.

You can't escape.

Yes, you're right.

We've angered the gods.

Wait, what?

I saw her, the chick in the box.

I'm in it? That one. Nick. You said I'm cursed. Who said? Vale. Vale? The coffin

we found. The coffin. Whatever. There was writing on it. Hieroglyphic. Jenny,

respectfully, I'm not interested in archaeological jargon right now. The

on the box that we took out of the hole. Yes, sorry. There was something about a

curse on there, wasn't there? Wasn't there? Nick,

you've had a concussion.

Yes. Toxic exposure.

How does that explain that I know that Setepayi means my chosen?

Ancient Egyptian.

How do I know that? You've been in the Middle East for years. You heard it. You

forgot it. Why are you backing off from this? I'm telling you, she is real.

I think you're right.

I... This is all in my head.

You should find a box, look inside, and when I see a 3 ,000 -year -old prune in

there, no more curse.

You don't need to cover this. You need a doctor.

I know someone.

A specialist in London.

Don't tell me that you don't want to see it, too.

Your wife's work.

Come on, Jenny.

I think I know where it is.

The crash is up that way. Where are you going?

We're in the right place.

Nick, I don't know what we're doing here. This isn't the right place.

Yes, it is.

No, it isn't.

The main crash is up that way.

And so is my artifact.

And that's where we're going.

Okay.

Vic?

Okay. What?

I'm sorry,

what?

Okay.

by a thief.

Right? I can't unsee it.

Where are we going? Way from here.

There's a highway up ahead. How do you know? I know.

Oh, my God. Do you realize what this is? The daggers set.

She was going to drive that thing right through.

The stone, it is missing. Yeah, it seemed to really piss her off.

It's real.

That statue was a reliquary.

Crusaders would use them to hide holy relics.

But she knew it was there.

You're saying that she brought the plane down there on purpose?

That's why she wanted you to come to the church.

She wanted me to go to the church. I told you that I wanted to go to the

I told you I said I wanted to see... I wanted to see her corpse.

Nick?

She's in your head.

What are you talking about? That is ridiculous because I'm...

I drove right back to her.

Oh, that's just my head.

Who are you?

Chicken.

What's happening?

Stay. Make yourself comfortable.

Who the hell are you?

Who am I?

The more relevant question, Mr. Morton, is who exactly are you?

In theory, I know all about you.

Army reconnaissance, decorated soldier, and page after page indicating a deep

and troubling moral turpitude.

But you see, this file contains nothing of any real value to me. That's why I

wanted to see you face to face.

Who are you?

I'm a doctor.

Doctor.

Chemical pathology, neurosurgery. Fellow of the Royal Society.

Also a lawyer.

My name is Jekyll.

Dr. Henry Jekyll.

There you are.

These days, I specialize in immunology, perhaps.

Infectious disease, perhaps.

I would like, if I may.

Mr. Morton, to tell you a story, a story about a patient

of mine, a man of promise, a man who believed he was beyond

reproach until he got ill.

The disease manifested itself in subtle ways at first, and then it grew into an

overwhelming desire, an unquenchable thirst.

Of others.

He

was

quite fortunate.

He himself was a physician.

And if evil were a pathogen, he reasoned, then there must surely be a

I would like if I may, Mr Morton, to show you something.

Welcome to Prodigium, Mr. Morton.

From the latter.

Monstrum vel Prodigium.

A warning of monsters.

Forgive the state of things. We have very little time to prepare for our

And only the information Jennifer provided to go on.

In truth, she works for us.

It's not an exact science, this business.

And the business being?

Evil, Mr. Mott.

Recognize, contain, examine, destroy.

She is by far the most ancient we've ever encountered.

The Eterni.

Embalming her with mercury.

At minus 38 degrees, the mercury in her veins will solidify.

And she should be safe for dissection, then?

Dissection? You said that we'd study her.

Yes, by dissection.

But she's a living witness to a history that we barely know. She's a threat,

Jennifer. Hold on.

So where does that leave me?

Cursed, Mr. Morton.

This is not some common cold you have.

Some chicken soup and a good night's sleep will not make it go away.

You have been selected as the vessel for the ultimate evil.

And we are the only ones who can rectify that.

I was going to give

him eternal life.

Make him a living God.

You murdered your father.

I love my father.

With all my heart.

I only wanted his love in return.

You killed his wife.

The day of awakening will soon be upon us.

You will become set.

The world will fall to your design.

You will have power of life over death.

And you will have me.

I will be your queen.

Just give in.

What was I supposed to tell you?

Would you even have believed me if I'd said this place was real?

When Henry came to me, I took the job because we had a common interest.

So you're using each other?

No, she's using you.

Luke.

judgment.

I care about you.

Somewhere in there, fighting to get out is a good man.

You don't know that.

I do.

You saved my life on that day.

You gave me the only parachute without hesitation.

Just a moment.

Each vanity to each her better.

The old

God.

Your language is simple.

What you truly wish to know is what lies beyond the veil

of death.

To know what I have seen?

Yes.

And you will when I kill you.

I found the stone.

You brought my chosen here.

What do you think they will do with him now?

Welcome to a new world of gods and monsters.

Evil has many names, Mr. Morton.

Texed, for example.

Known to Egyptians as the god of death.

In the Old Testament, Satan, Lucifer.

The devil?

Quite so.

Bad, bad. You see, evil is the shadow that exists just outside our world.

Continuously searching for a way to come in.

A way to become flesh and blood.

Ida,

we wait for that day to arrive.

Or we can fight it on our own terms.

Which brings me to you.

Me? Yeah, great, yes.

Doc, you said you could cure me of this curse.

Get rid of it. So, let's do it, Doc.

What's your plan?

Mr. Morton, these things are complex.

Yeah, I bet, I bet.

When one is dealing with the salvation of humanity, certain sacrifices must be

made. Excuse me, sir.

You got it.

What?

Henry.

Are you planning on killing him?

Kill? Oh, Jennifer.

Kill who?

Mr. Morton here.

Essentially killed himself when he severed the barrier chain that had kept

Amoneth's power in prison for 5 ,000 years.

He was chosen as her ideal candidate.

A thief, physically capable, compulsively devious, and utterly devoid

What? What? That's insane.

You want to put the stone in the dagger and stab him with it?

The dagger will allow Set to enter his body and then be obliterated. Wait,

wait. You want to stab me with that thing?

Intentionally? Precisely what the Egyptians should have done.

You see, they interrupted a ritual in process.

And that is a mistake.

We cannot afford to repeat it.

What?

That's a plan. Henry, you can't possibly do this. Yes.

That's your plan?

The dominoes are already gone.

We have a lot of time.

Unfortunately, it is a risk we must take.

Is this really your plan? You heard Arminus.

Your curse cannot be broken.

I am truly sorry, Mr. Morton. No matter what I do, you are going to die.

Yes, evil is a disease.

A pestilence. Pestilence infection.

Following its way into our souls.

The world needs a cure.

You can be that cure. Stop. A sacrifice. Just stop. For the greater good. I'm

not interested in that at all.

Okay. Don't. Okay. We're just going to take a minute.

And we're all going to come up with a new plan.

We have to go. You don't know what you're doing. Really. I know exactly

doing.

Oh, my dear Henry Jekyll.

If ever I've seen Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new

friend.

Hey, hey, hey.

Now.

Run. Come on. Run.

Run.

Open

the door.

You don't walk down there.

Nicholas. I never do.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened?

Did you just shut down the mercury?

either wants to kill you. It's Henry.

I have something more collaborative in mind.

I'm offering you a partnership.

You, evil incarnate.

Me, your good friend Eddie Hyde. Think about it.

He will love us.

You have to destroy the stone. What? No stone, no ritual.

No ritual.

No curse.

I know where it is.

Wait, wait, wait.

Which way it out? I don't know.

We think she's coming to you. So are we.

Lock your doors and secure that stuff.

Wow, that was intense.

Okay, follow me.

We're heading to the Crusader burial chamber.

We'll make our entry through the northwest train tunnel.

This

is

the moment, Nick.

This is the moment.

I'm going to take you to that stone, deliver you to Amunet, then my work here

done.

Nick?

Jim.

Hey, buddy.

Amunet is never going to let her live.

You can't save her.

Nick?

We couldn't be here.

you okay?

I'm scared.

Figure this out.

Just stay with me, please.

Figure this out.

Just stay with me.

Just stay with me.

She was always doomed.

There are worse fates than death.

pain away.

Give in to me.

Give in.

Give in.

When it's over, you will thank me.

I promise.

I'm sorry.

We're just never gonna happen.

And it's not me.

It's you.

Destroy the stone and all is lost.

You will be a living God.

You will have power of life over death.

Give it.

Somewhere in there, I know you're a good man.

The world needs a cure.

You can be that cure.

A sacrifice for the greater good.

Wake up.

I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm doing.

Please wake up.

Please.

Stop.

Stop. Please.

I don't know what I am.

I don't want to hurt you, Jenny.

mistakes.

But not this time.

Not you.

I don't want to hurt you.

I never wanted to hurt you.

You won't.

Didn't see this coming, did we?

You were wrong about Nick.

He gave his life to save me.

To bring me back.

Yes, Jennifer.

He found his redemption.

But at great cost.

He is a monster now.

He is also still a man.

A good man.

Perhaps.

Yet he has only begun to discover his power.

And we cannot know which side will win out.

Between darkness and light.

Good or evil.

Hey, Nick.

Nick.

I'm really glad to be here.

I mean, thank you for bringing me back to life and everything, Nick. But what

are we even doing here?

Where are we going?

Come on, my friend.

Where's your sense of adventure?

Oh, no.

Whatever human part of him remains, we'll search the world over for a way to

break the curse.

To find a cure.

Yet evil never rests.

And it will call to.

Henry, he used his power to stop Amunet.

You know more than anyone.

He could be our greatest ally.

Perhaps.

Sometimes it does take a monster to fight a monster.
