Everyone did not think twice and they started packing, there were very few surviving diggers who were desperate to leave.
Hana kept packing, but those whispers again begin to sound and look towards the entrance of the temple.
"Merary, sister come with me, I promise to protect you."
Hana walks slowly towards the entrance of the temple, but a hand prevents it from doing so to return to reality and turns to see Rick.
"What do you think you're doing?" Rick asks, seeing her confused.
"I ... I do not know, suddenly an energy guided me to the temple". Hana says blinking many times trying to completely return to reality.
"Hurry, we have to go." Rick says grabbing Hana's backpack. "I'll take it, prepare your camel." moving away.
Hana nods and walks towards her camel and watches Evy tie some things in his.
"I told you not to read that book." Hana says as she approaches Asim.
"Hana ... forgive me." Evy follows her with her gaze. "I never thought this would happen."
"I told you it was dangerous, do not you remember the story I told you about what is said about those condemned to Hom Dai?" Hana looks at her annoyed. "Also, do not ask me for forgiveness, if not Burns, who was a victim of that." She returns to prepare Asim.
"I'll have to go a little slow, I'll arrive about two days after you." Nubia says as she climbs on her camel.
"Leave that sarcophagus!" Jonathan says as he climbs on his camel.
"I've been researching her for many years and I do not plan on leaving Merary!" Nubia says annoyed as she advances. "See you in Cairo." Moving forward dragging the sarcophagus.
"I'll go after her." Henderson says as he gets on the horse.
"Try to convince her to leave that." Daniels says
"You do not know her, she never would." Henderson says. "Take care of Burns, see you in Cairo." extending his hand.
"I'll buy the tickets for America." Daniels shakes his hand with his. "Be careful."
Henderson agrees and follows Nubia, since he does not want anything to happen to her during the trip, especially for the mummy they saw a while ago.
Beni sloway backs up around anubis, eyes wide, gun up. he turns around, Imhotep is right there! Beni screams, backs away and opens fire. six gunshots perforate Imhotep, but have no effect except to splatter molten flesh rot onto the back wall. Beni retreats into a corner, scared shitless. Imhotep moves forward, his one hand trying to stop the molten mummy guts from oozing out of the large shotgun hole in his side. Beni drops his gun and grabs at the chains around his neck, religious symbols and icons dangle from each chain. Beni holds the first one up: a christian crucifix. he quickly makes the sign of-the cross and blesses himself in english
"May the good Lord protect and watch over me as a shepherd watches over his flock. And may Satan in all his forms be vanquished forever." Beni says scared.
It has no effect on Imhotep, who continues forward. Beni quickly grabs at the other symbols and icons, holding them out towards Imhotep, one after the other, trying to slow his progress: an Islamic Sword and Crescent Moon necklace; a Hindu Brahma medallion; a small Buddhist Bodhisattva statue. All while blessing himself in Arabic, Hindi, Chinese and Latin. Nothing works. Imhotep's skeletal hand reaches for Beni's throat. Tears run down Beni's cheeks he's so freaked. And that's when he holds up The Star Of David and blesses himself in stops in his tracks. His hand lowers. His grotesque new eyeballs stare at Beni.
"The language of the slaves." Imhotep looks at him quizzically. "I may have use for you." he takes a step back. "And the rewards will be great." he reaches into his tattered robe, and then spreads out revealing a small pile of little jewels.
Beni is surprised since he saw that it is real gold, the gold that he and the Americans had searched so much in the city.
"My prince." Beni says smiling and looks at Imhotep giving him to understand that he has his loyalty.
"Where is my sister and the other sacred jars?!" Imhotep asks furiously while holding the Anck-su-namu's broken canopic jar.
"Ready ?!" Rick asks as he climbs on his camel.
"Yes!" Daniels says as he gets on the horse along with Burns.
"Ready." Dr. Allen says quickly approaching his horse.
"Let's get out of here!" Jonathan says desperate.
"Hey, we can not leave them here." Hana says scared since Ardeth and his men are inside.
"Believe me, Hana, he could never finish them, they are so many men from deserts that what we saw today and the other night are nothing, let's go!" Rick says as he leaves the city.
"Wait for us!" Jonathan says following him
Hana looks scared the entrance of the temple, was afraid that Imhotep killed Ardeth, she may have been hard on him but that does not mean that he wants something bad to happen to him. In that she again listens to the whispers and she tries not to get carried away by them and quickly follows the others entering the darkness of the desert.
And then in the extreme foreground, a skeletal hand suddenly punches up out of the sand, accompanied by the most horrific, primordial shriek imaginable.
Cairo, Egypt
After three days in the desert and two sailing the Nile, they finally arrive in Cairo. Hana goes quickly to the museum where she finds her uncle in her office checking some papers, when he hears the sound of the door he leaves the work and looks at her surprised.
"Uncle I ... I'm sorry." Hana says scared.
Dr. Bey gets up and quickly hugs her by surprising Hana, but she hugs him while crying scared as she fears she will not see him again.
"I was afraid not to see you again." Dr. Bey separates himself a bit from her. "My little girl, thank Allah that you came back."
"Uncle, you can not imagine what I saw there, you were right ... that place is horrible". Hana says crying. "horrible." She hugged him again as she shook with fear and cried.
"Do not cry anymore." Dr. Bey sits her down and he sits in front of her. "Calm down, you're safe here." He gives her his handkerchief. "Go take a shower and then tell me what happened."
Hana nods and goes to the house behind the museum, although she feared to go alone, but she knew that it was far from Hamunaptra and far from Imhotep, but look at the Merary necklace she still wears, which shines thanks to the rays of the Sun that surprise that necklace despite the fear she does not want to get rid of it.
Cairo Hospital
"Please help him." Daniels says as he watches the doctors take his friend.
"Sir, you can not enter there." the nurse stops him.
"It's my friend, miss, I have to know if it's okay." Daniels says worried.
"I understand, I swear that your friend is in good hands." She moves away to follow the doctors.
"Calm down Daniels, everything will be fine." Rick says as he grabs his shoulder.
"He looks so bad, just the medications they gave us on the boat calmed him down but ... you have no idea how he screams in pain and fear." Daniels says anguished. "I never thought this would happen."
"You're crazy, nobody expected it." Jonathan says as he approaches with a coffee.
"Mr. Daniels, I must retire to review some things, I'll wait for you later to pay me the rest." Dr. Allen extends his hand. "I'm waiting for news from Mr. Burns."
"Thank you, I ... I reach it when I can." Daniels shakes his hand and Dr. Allen leaves the place.
"It shows that he cares for others." Rick says sarcastic.
"He's scared, as we all are." Evy says as she hands Daniels a cup of coffee. "Hana is afraid, she went home but said she would come later, she wanted to see her uncle."
"I understand, she saw a resurrected mummy and many deaths, who would not be scared?" Rick asks while drinking his coffee. "You should go check it out." He looks at Evy.
"I'm fine." Evy says.
"You have to make sure that you did not want the doctor from the port of the village and the ship to check you, although I understand you about the village since he was a child". Rick approaches a nurse. "Miss, I need you to check my friend, she had a big scare."
"Sure."
"Rick, I'm fine, really." Evy retires because she refuses to be seen.
"What you saw was very strong, you need help." Rick says caressing her cheek gently. "Go, we're waiting for you here."
Evy nods and follows the nurse leaving the men in the waiting room.
"I also need a doctor to check me." Jonathan raises his hand.
"I see you as always." Rick says as he goes to sit down.
Nile River
"Then already sent?" Nubia tells the telegraph who is nodding. "Thank you." She leaves the office and looks at Henderson who looked at the river very thoughtful. "Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry ... that's it, I'm worried." Henderson says without seeing her.
"I understand, what happened there is very hard." Nubia says she still can not believe it.
"I was hoping to find gold, jewelry, fortune ... not a mummy, death or my wounded friend." Henderson says as he grabs hier hand. "I'm grateful that you were not the victim, but Burns, he..." He sigh sadly "It's all my fault."
"Do not say that." Nubia grabs his shoulder.
"Of course I do, the reasons to come ... if I had not heard that story and convinced my friends, none of this would be happening." Henderson says furiously.
"How would you know this would happen?" Nubia asks trying to stay calm. "How would we know that some desert men would attack us? How would we know that a trap would kill three of your men and, finally, how would we know we would see a three-thousand-year-old mummy walking and attacking Burns?... Tell me?"
"Nubia I ... I'm sorry." Henderson hugs her. "Sorry."
"I understand how you feel, but now, we're safe." Nubia gently caresses her cheek.
"It's just that ... when we opened the chest, there was a curse." Henderson says scared.
"What kind of curse?" Nubia asks worried.
"Tell me, did you read the hieroglyphs before opening the chamber where the princess's mummy or some box was?" Henderson looks at her worried and scared.
"Yes, I read the door before opening it but it was only a part of Merary's story but there was no warning, I just opened the chamber just that." Nubia says and Henderson sighs in relief. "You're scaring me Henderson, what's wrong?"
What neither of them realize is that Beni was watching them from the Bar tables with Imhotep, who was wearing a black tunic that covered him completely and a mask.
"They are one of the men who were in the city, that girl." Beni points to Nubia. "She has a very important grandfather, and she found the mummy of your sister Merary." He looks at Imhotep who is surprised to hear that. "I heard that she must be at the bottom of the boat."
Cairo Museum of Antiquities
"That Miss Carnahan did what?!" Dr. Bey asks furiously.
"She read the book of the dead that the Americans found ... I did not know it was real, I thought it was a myth until I saw it with my own eyes when Evy read it." Hana explains nervously.
"I can not believe what you told me, why do you think I did not want them to go to that place?" Dr. Bey asks with fury and she recoils in fright. "I can not believe it, years trying to avoid it and we have failed, I can not believe it."
"Trying to avoid it?" Hana asks confused. "What are you talking about, uncle?" she crosses her arms.
"Hana, I think it's time for you to know the truth about us and our people." Dr. Bey looks at her seriously and sits down. "Hana, we are Medjai and we belong to an ancient society thousands of years ago." He explains.
"What?" Hana asks surprised.
"We take care to prevent the emergence of evil on Earth, specifically, the resurrection of the Imhotep High Priest." Dr. Bey says surprising Hana. "We protect the ruins of Hamunaptra against anyone who can lift the curse of Imhotep and anyone who wishes to break into the tombs of the pharaohs to steal the treasures."
"It can not be." Hana says as she stands up in surprise.
"Your parents protected that city with blood and sweat, when they saw a threat they brought you here to protect you but that accident took them away." Dr. Bey says worried.
"Why did you never tell me what our people did or what was in that city ?!" Hana asks furiously.
"I wanted to protect you, you're the only family I have left."
"Protect me from what ?, you put us at risk, almost our people murdered my friends". Hana says furiously. "Tell me something, did you tell them about us and send them to attack our ship?" She asks nervously and her uncle looks at the floor, answering the question. "It can not be! ... Almost my friends and I die there!"
"No, they were hiring you to get out of there." Dr. Bey tries to calm her down.
"But killing my friends?!, I can not believe it ... uncle ... I can not believe it". Hana holds her head trying to calm down but everything she was hearing was so difficult. "If you had told me, I would have done anything to prevent my friends from go there, but what happened was partly your fault."
"Of course, no!" Dr. Bey gets up furious. "I did not read that book!"
"But you could avoid it because if you had told me that I would not have gone for the key so no one could open that book or open Imhotep's sarcophagus and avoid all those deaths!" Hana crosses her arms while Dr. Bey analyzes what she said. "I go to the hospital, one of the Americans lost his eyes and his tongue and I know why it happened, because he has the curse of the chest ... I have to get him out of this country." she leaves the office furious whipping the door
Nile River
Imhotep slowly approaches the sarcophagus of Merary that was in the bottom of the ship, caresses the sarcophagus with tenderness and removes the mask that shows his deformed and putrefied face, but full of sadness.
"Merary ... I can not believe your body is there." Imhotep says sadly and kneels. "Forgive me, sister, I did not know how to protect you, but I know you came back from death and I swear I will return you in that body and protect you, I will not allow anyone to separate us again." he looks for something in his robe and puts a flower he found on the table of the ship's restaurant. "I promise you sister, we'll be together again."
