The Vengeance of the Mummy

Subtitles downloaded from www.OpenSubtitles.org

Thousands of years ago,

the Egyptian people spread their hegemony of power and culture across the known world

During the 18th dynasty,

wearing upon his brow the white and red tiaras of upper and lower Egypt,

reigned the pharaoh Amenhotep.

These are bad times for the Egyptian nation,

as the pharaoh is a brutal being, despotic and cruel,

under whose cruel reign the country moans and sighs

The Egyptian Emperor

is a tyrant whose horrendous crimes tinge the warm sands of the country blood red

Amenhotep murders lovely young women

to satisfy his repugnant and inconfessable appetites

No one, no matter how noble and powerful they may be,

is safe from dying in the most cruel manner

to satisfy the mad Pharaoh's whims

The Pharaoh's reign is a hallucinatory nightmare of blood and horror

Joining him in his outrages is Amarna,

the most beautiful of his concubines,

as cruel and bloodthirsty as Amenhotep himself

Nevertheless, the pharaoh has a powerful enemy,

one that is astute and tenacious

and that has sworn to punish him

He is the only one able to confront the sinister tyrant

We speak of Am-sha, high priest of Amon-Ra

We've been annihilated my lord, our men lie forevermore on the battlefield

Defeated?

My armies have been defeated in Ramose,

overcome by the Nubians

That damned Semut,

who I should never have named general,

has led us to defeat

I'll order him executed, him and all his officers!

Go, dog!

Living God, calm your just rage

Tomorrow we shall sacrifice ten virgins

and the next battle shall be propitious

Deje, bring me a drink

They've poisoned me, my body...

is losing strength,

only my mind remains clear

Amenhotep,

at last your reckoning has come

A punishment that won't be as terrible

as your crimes deserve,

because your evil

is infinite

You will wander in the world of shadows eternally,

with neither rest or sustenance,

and you shall forever be denied

entry into the world of the dead

Anubis shall not weigh your soul on his scales,

and it shall never join

the divinity of Isis and Osiris

Now the noble Raotep shall take your place

and peace and prosperity shall return to our country

Damned Am-sha,

I always knew you hated me,

but I am powerful and the forces of evil shall help me

One day I will be free and I shall unleash my hatred upon the world

I will recover my dear Amarna and we shall embrace in the shadows

My descendants shall find my message

Dig

It's wonderful,

and it's intact Nathan, intact

It seems that way, there are no signs of it having been desecrated

We've been lucky

Did you notice? This is something unusual

Yes, there are no offerings or food, only the sarcophagus

- However, this is a pharaoh - There's no doubt,

these are the hallmarks of royalty

Imagine, an unviolated tomb,

and of a pharaoh of the XVlll dynasty

The foundation never dreamed of owning such a piece

This will be a global event,

and we are the discoverers

Surely that papyrus holds the explanation to this mystery

We'll study it in London, it will be exciting work

Sir Douglas will collaborate with us,

it will be the greatest accomplishment of his life

Yes, and perhaps it will let him forget his sorrow a bit

I am very proud of you,

my lessons have borne fruit

Yes,

this is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries

Here are the pictures

I am eager to decipher this papyrus...

with your help, naturally

It's astounding, incredible

He's very happy

I've never seen father so excited since the accident

I'm very happy too Helen,

I know you'll find it easier now

to free yourself of that feeling of guilt

I think I'll never be able to forget what happened,

he will always be tied to that wheelchair

The papyrus is related to the tablet of Bubastis!

The name Amenhotep appears on both

And they doubted his existence,

but there, in that sarcophagus,

Amenhotep has slept for thousands of years,

the Cursed Pharaoh

I have invited you to dinner tonight because I have a surprise for you

No no, you don't have to accompany me, I'm feeling quite well today

Sit down, I need to go find something

It's alright Meland

Here it is

I've finished the translation of the papyrus

Read it Nathan

Amenhotep, that despicable monster,

brought the greatest disasters to Egypt

He made a pact with the 42 spirits of evil

and used them for his unspeakable purposes

He drank the blood of virgins,

ate human flesh at diabolical banquets in honour of the renegade spirits

He killed and destroyed without pause at his whim

Amon-Ra is just and powerful,

he gave us the strength to face the tyrant

and today during the seventh moon the villains time of punishment has come

We will bury him alive so that his black spirit roams without peace or tranquillity,

tied to a putrefying body

His grave will be devoid of all that the soul needs to live forever

in the land of the dead

Amarna, his malignant lover, has also been punished,

and her spirit shall also not find peace for no one will mummify her ungodly body

In the seventh moon and during the XVlll dynasty,

Am-Sha, high priest of Amon-Ra

You'll have to forgive me, my head hurts badly

- Goodnight - Goodnight

Sometimes I don't understand her,

evidently her mother's blood has overruled her English education

and my own blood

- She must have been an exceptional woman - Yes, yes

There were some who told me it was madness to marry with an Egyptian woman,

and some even reproached me

In those days was not well looked upon to marry a woman from the colonies

I don't know, perhaps they were right,

but no, I never regretted it

I spent the best years of my life at her side

Unfortunately... it all ended too soon

Please sir, touching any part of the exhibition is forbidden

Forgive me,

but it's so beautiful that I couldn't contain myself

- Besides, the hall isn't open to the public - I'm sorry

- May I speak with Professor Stark? - I do not know if he's arrived

Where can I find him? I came all the way from Cairo specifically to talk to him

I'll ask

It's quite possible that he's in the Society's founder Sir Douglas' quarters

Lately they've been busy studying the pieces that were brought from Egypt

Go into the salon and wait a moment please

- Professor Assad Bey - Sir

- It's a pleasure - Professor Stark, delighted to meet you

I came from Cairo when I heard of your discovery

We will begin investigations on the process of mummification within a month

Why wait a month?

The news has aroused great interest among scientists from various countries

and they've asked to attend

I've just seen a small tablet from the XVlll dynasty that seemed very interesting

It's paradoxical that we, the native Egyptologists,

have to travel around the world to study our own civilization

I have the translation of that tablet

and it's a message left by Amenhotep himself

Come in to the salon, may I offer you a cup of tea?

Thank you

I decided a long ago to live in the museum to be closer to my collection

This is the translation of the message Amenhotep left

It seems that the pharaoh had a presentiment of his end

and wanted to ensure his vengeance

It goes like this:

I, Amenhotep,

pharaoh of the two Egypts,

lord of the red crown,

lord of the white crown,

trust in who carries my blood and is elected by the 42 spirits

to complete the rite and and so bring me out of my state of helplessness

For this, he must sacrifice three maidens

and mix their blood with sap from the plant of life

Then, when the confluence of the stars is propitious,

he will recite the kabbalah of Sothis

and I will return to unite with him

Later I will cause Amarna spirit incarnate again

and so obtain together the eternal power of the 42 spirits.

I, Amenhotep, pharaoh of Egypt

Memphis, XVlll dynasty

It's curious how all the pieces fit

If it weren't for the fact that I don't believe in curses or witchcraft

I would think that the power of the pharaoh was real

Hurry, we're going to be late again

So what? I'm sick of Ms. Barton and her stupid rules

You know what I say?

We should change residences or rent a small house between the three of us

Anne, Mary! Come here please!

I've hurt myself, I can't walk!

Look

Oh almighty Horus,

I invoke you to offer in sacrifice the three maidens

that your worship demands

Show your favor

and pull from his torpor divine my divine ancestor Amenhotep,

lord of the headdress, possessor of the two crowns,

pharaoh of Egypt!

Horus, favourite of Osiris,

you who does not fear the power of Amon-Ra,

you who torment the souls of the dead

that will never reach the land of their ancestors,

hear our prayers

so that the divine Amenhotep may be freed

Your name please?

Ms. Barton, Ms. Gloria Barton

- Age? - 35 years

- Excuse me? - Well, 42

Profession?

Director of the Victory House residence for ladies

Well Ms. Barton,

now be calm, and tell me what happened

It's horrible, horrible Mr. Commissioner, the three have disappeared,

and what am I to tell their families?

Calm down Ms. Barton,

Tell me how old these three young girls are

Annie and Peggy are 22, Mary's 19

At that age there are many reasons for a lady to be missing from home for a few days

Those are decent girls, I don't accept any other kind of people in my residence,

- my house is a very honourable one! - Of course

Never fear,

we will do our utmost to find those young ladies,

and if they return, please let us know immediately

Carmichael, please be so kind as to see Ms. Barton out

Good day

No thank you, I don't want anymore

Alright, I'll be going

- Goodbye - Goodnight

- Well, I'm off to do my rounds - Goodbye

Close the door, it'll get cold in here

Nathan

Nathan, dear, you work too much

I have to finish the report

Alright, but promise me that when you finish we'll take a vacation

Yes? Who is this?

What?

He disappeared? Dead? When did it happen?

It seems that it happened at midnight

He was a good man

It's maddening

On examing the cadaver they discovered that he was covered

in dust that's only found in a mummy's wrappings

On top of that the fingerprints don't correspond to any living being

The killer's strength must be superhuman,

he almost crushed his skull

Everything fits with the legend of Amenhotep, everything

That's absurd, incredible, a mummy can't come back to life!

I wouldn't go that far

In our ancient civilization there are untold mysteries,

it could be this is confirmation of the curse of the tombs

Do you remember the tragic death of Lord Bracks and his entire expedition?

They violated the tombs of Thomoses III and Ramses II

That was a string of flukes, just unlucky coincidences

Yes, it could be

Please Dorothy, put it on the table

Assad Bey, you have been chosen by the 42 spirits

to free me from my millennial immobility

I will give you power, riches and eternal life

but first you must help me find a woman

whose body will be occupied by Amarna's tortured spirit

For thousands of years she has suffered, wandering in the shadows

She will be at my side to punish all those who dared to violate the secrets of Egypt

and you shall as powerful as you desire

I've gathered all the information I could on the legend of Amenhotep

and there are many rather curious things

For Amenhotep to escape from the immobility imposed on him by Am-sha

the kabbalah of Sothis must be recited

and his sarcophagus must be sprinkled with a mixture of blood

of three maidens sacrificed on three consecutive full moons

This will be enough for him to rise from his tomb

To obtain his freedom for good

another seven women must die in a similar fashion

and Amenhotep will be free forever

I see you're very worried about this business, but it's a police matter

Three girls have disappeared and I fear that another seven will too

If Assad Bey heard you he'd say the pharaoh's curse was coming true

Assad Bey is an enigmatic person about whom we know nearly nothing about

Perhaps it'd be a good idea to learn something about him

It's very humid tonight

This cold seeps into my bones

When one gets old...

I'm going to take the clothes to Mrs. Morrison

- I won't be long - So long daughter

Police! Police!

It's horrible!

Halt!

Don't worry maam, we'll find her

Don't worry

Officer Brown, an envelope

It was a mistake, a lamentable mistake,

our authorities should never have allowed

that valuable piece of our culture

to leave Egypt

It's absurd, senseless

The theft of the mummy, those girls who disappeared,

the legend of that cursed Pharaoh

It's clear that a criminal mind wants us to believe that Amenhotep has come back to life

That's childish, it must be the work of a madman

Everyone knows a mummy can't come back to life

An old legend says that lotus flowers

can grant happiness and wisdom

It's an ancient tradition of our people

My mother cultivated them, they're quite lovely

Helen, we haven't known each other long but we share the same blood

and that allows me to understand you much better

I know something very bitter torments you

Helen, tell me,

I'll be able to understand

My father is paralyzed and it's my fault

I didn't want him to go to that party on that infernal night

He insisted on accompanying me

and on our way home, the horses slipped

and he became an invalid

Helen, it wasn't your fault, everything is written

You mustn�t torture yourself, believe me

Sanofed!

Let's go. It's late

It's getting late, we have to leave

It's not that late

My parents will scold me

It's always the same thing,

they have to realize that times change, we're in the 20th century

- Say your goodbyes before you leave - Goodbye

You know what I mean

At last I will have my absolute freedom

Soon my beloved Amarna will be at my side again

I can't help it,

I have a feeling that Assad Bey is behind all this

Honestly Nathan, I don't believe it

Assad seems to me to be a well balanced sort

and I don't believe him capable of wrongdoing no matter how small

I agree that he's strange, introverted, mysterious,

but consider that his mindset is different, he's of another race

But his upbringing is completely European

Helen has also been educated in Europe,

half of her blood is English, however within her exists an undoubtable atavism

Agreed, but it's something more than that!

There's something perverse about Assad Bey, disquieting

I think what's happened has made you nervous

I'm sure this is the work of a madman, but not him

When he arrived he showed great interest in everything concerning the pharaoh,

despite his being an Egyptologist it seemed out of proportion

Then, after the theft of the mummy, his visits slowly lessened

He disappeared and we haven't had word of him for over two weeks

It's very strange

He's not going to visit us everyday, and besides, he could have left London

Why don't you call him and dispel your doubts?

You'll see there's a reasonable explanation

Miss, please put me through to the Metropolitan Hotel

Great Metropolitan Hotel

I'd like to speak to Professor Assad Bey

I'm sorry sir but Professor Bey is no longer here

Is he still lodged there?

He still has his room reserved, but I believe he's rented a home in the outskirts

- close to the old mill - Thank you

Assad lives in a house on the outskirts now, but he still has a room at the hotel

Let's pay him a visit, it could be interesting

May I accompany you?

I'd like to see Sanofed again

No Assad,

the spirit of Amarna could never reside in that body,

nor in this one!

Assad, a threat approaches

- Good day - Come in please

- What a pleasant surprise - And Assad?

He'll be here in a moment, your visit will please him

Your silence worried us

I called your hotel and they gave us this address

We planned to visit you one of these days

- Why the move? - Assad wanted to isolate himself,

he wants to write a book

Welcome, you bring me great joy

Sanofed, have you offered our friends some coffee?

Or perhaps you'd prefer tea, that's more British

I'd like some tea

And you Helen?

No, I don't want anything, thank you

What news do you bring? Did the pharaoh turn up?

I reserved my room at the hotel

because I plan to visit London once in a while

but I needed tranquillity

to be able to write

What are you writing about?

It's a study on the Middle Kingdom, I'll dedicate a chapter in it to your discovery

Please Sanofed, bring me all the material I've written

If you need more information you know I'm at your service

I might need you though you've already given me so much

I'm very grateful to you

for all the information you've provided

It's a shame we didn't get to study the mummy,

and it'd be a catastrophe if the madman who stole it

were to damage or destroy it

Let's trust that it will turn up intact

For what reason could it have been stolen?

What will they do with it?

Scotland Yard is very efficient,

they'll find it, I'm absolutely certain

Would you like to see my little greenhouse? I cultivate lotus too

Come, let's go

This is my books manuscript

Sanofed, your words helped me very much

I'm glad that was the case

I'll be by your side whenever you may need me

About my father's accident...

I didn't tell you everything

My mother had an Egyptian lover

He had found out all about it

That party was very important to my mother,

she had planned to meet that man so they could run away together

I understood that love,

that's why when my father arrived

I wanted to intervene on her behalf,

but he managed to convince her to return to his side

When we were going back home

the accident happened

My mother died

I've never forgiven him

If he had let her go she'd still be alive

Helen, I feel a special affection towards you that I wouldn't be able to explain

and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you

I'm going to give you some advice:

distance yourself from us,

from Assad Bey and myself

Distance yourself

That woman

is Amarna!

I need her!

She will accompany me eternally

I can't believe it, what reason could Assad have to commit all those crimes?

I don't know, but I'm sure the key to all this is in his house

I have to get in there and search it

What are you trying to say?

We'll watch the area, and when they leave we'll try to get in

I'm sure I'm not mistaken!

You're obsessed with that idea

We'll go this very night,

that is, if you want to come with me, if not I'll go alone

I'll go with you,

surely we'll end up at the police station for breaking and entering

I don't know, I can't help it,

but I'm convinced Assad Bey is responsible for everything that's been happening

Do you have some proof, some evidence?

What you allege is very serious

I don't know, there's something I don't understand

- That afternoon when we were in his home- - I'm going to go lie down,

I'm very tired. Goodnight - Goodnight

Wouldn't it be better to tell the police about your suspicions?

That's what I think

I'll do it as soon as I have the slightest proof

- Shall we go Abigail? - Yes, whenever you please

- Then goodnight - Goodnight

Thank you

- Does the gentleman need anything else? - No, you can go

Goodnight sir

Nathan, this is useless, we should leave

No, this is our opportunity, everyone's gone. Let's go

Wait there

Please Nathan, this is absurd

We'll come back. We have to get in there

No, it's not possible!

Calm down, calm down

Helen has disappeared, we should call the police

Assad, he dominates you completely and separates you from me

He's using us,

and later he'll destroy us or what's worse,

he will make us into his slaves

I carry his blood, his very blood

and he'll respect me, he'll grant me infinite power

He will make me immortal

The night of the final rite is approaching

We'll mummify Helen

and Amarna will find her shell

Afterwards we'll be more powerful than life or death

We'll possess all the secrets of the lost civilizations, the world will be ours,

and the dominion of the pharaohs will rise once again

Professor Stark,

a hunch isn't sufficient cause for the police,

on the other hand there isn't enough evidence to order a search warrant

and besides, Mr. Bey is a foreign subject,

it could cause a very delicate situation

But I'm sure that the necessary proof is in that house!

We have different proof that leads us very far from him

Commissioner, it's very clear

He's a maniacal fanatic, he performs blood rites before that dusty mummy,

believe me!

That's just a theory, and Scotland Yard requires proof,

Regardless, and with all the discretion this case demands, we'll investigate

You can be sure we'll do everything within our power

Good day Professor

The astral conjunction is propitious and we shall perform the great rite

We will mummify this body and Amarna's spirit will enter it

You shall be rewarded Assad

For the great ritual of Sothis I want Sanofed's blood,

that's why I ask you to sacrifice her,

that way I can be sure you deserve everything I shall give you,

only in that way

We have to get in by any means

It will be dangerous

Follow me

Idiots!

Now you know my secret, that will cost you your lives

Tonight you will be sacrificed in the great ritual

Let's go

Commissioner, we've received the file on Assad Bey from Cairo

Accompany me, and have three men come with us too

Where is Sanofed?

I need her blood

I don't suppose you've decided to betray me?

I would never do that

Where is she? What is she doing?

Watching the prisoners

Bring them all immediately

We have to find Helen

Let's go

Sergeant

Look for a way in

Peters, Jones, that way, Brown, come with me

Lord!

Professor Stark,

is this the mummy that disappeared from the Landsbury Foundation?

- But sir- - Keep quiet you

Is this it?

Yes Commissioner,

this is the mummy
