00:05:03Hat, to shelter unfortunate head, more desirable.
00:05:07Oh!
00:05:08Hat, hat. I am first-class service.
00:05:11Some gals, they got gold watches.
00:05:15Some ain't got no watches.
00:05:19Oh, a hat, weren't you?
00:05:22Where is it?
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:31Ifendi snowshoes.
00:05:33Here he is again.
00:05:34Miss ain't in no place where you ain't.
00:05:37Ah!
00:05:38This time, Ifendi, I have big news for you.
00:05:41What first?
00:05:43Bakshish.
00:05:44Too bits bakshish to be?
00:05:45You might as well go on.
00:05:46I ain't gonna let you be gettin' no more black sheep money out of me.
00:05:49But wait.
00:05:50Today I have locate the grave of your sacred ancestor.
00:05:54Bakshish.
00:05:55Too bits bakshish.
00:05:56I know not.
00:05:57But you sure you done found the mummy of my great, great grandpappy?
00:06:02Nay!
00:06:03You're great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great.
00:06:06Oh, you've done it too much.
00:06:08I don't believe I'm going to let you talk me out of no more money.
00:06:11Nay, I am the best son of my father.
00:06:14I supply all things for this noble gentleman.
00:06:17I am first grade, sir.
00:06:19Contradiction, please.
00:06:21For past two hours has not supplied drink.
00:06:24Drink? You want a drink? I'll give you a drink.
00:06:26I'm a strong enough...
00:06:28Pardon, please.
00:06:29For water to soothe dry throat
00:06:32would happily give much bucksheesh.
00:06:34Ah, bucksheesh.
00:06:35You mean you give too much for just some plain water?
00:06:39A drop of plain water on thirsty tongue
00:06:42more precious than gold and pearls.
00:06:45Tom, I've got plenty of water in the tent.
00:06:48Yeah, I'll go get it.
00:06:50Ah, bucksheesh. I'm first grade, sir.
00:06:52You're first grade, lad.
00:06:54You will soon have mummy of your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpappy.
00:07:00Do you have ancestors in Egypt?
00:07:03I don't know. Miss Fortune tells down in Mississippi.
00:07:07Say, it's that country where all my folks come from.
00:07:10Yes?
00:07:11Yes, and then Mr. Tommy and one of me in a crab game.
00:07:15I come along to kind of look them up.
00:07:19Hmm.
00:07:20Reverend Philanthropist, most commendable.
00:07:23Yes, sir.
00:07:25Yes, Mr. Tommy, then over here.
00:07:33Tom, I just don't want you to find out, sir.
00:07:37Oh, sorry to intrude.
00:07:39But would much appreciate a glass of water.
00:07:42Why, of course. It's no use, water.
00:07:45Those Egyptian sons hardly can get a fellow down.
00:07:48Have a seat.
00:07:49Thank you so much.
00:07:50Perhaps you'd like some tea?
00:07:52Oh, I would be most grateful.
00:07:57Do you mind if I sit down?
00:08:01You... you are Miss Arnold?
00:08:04Yes.
00:08:05And you are Mr. Tom Evan?
00:08:07How do you know?
00:08:09Oh, it's no use, of course.
00:08:11Sir?
00:08:12No, have met.
00:08:16Where?
00:08:18Your pictures.
00:08:20In offices of French Archaeological Society in Paris.
00:08:25Please permit the introduction of a humble self, M. Charlie Chan.
00:08:30Charlie Chan?
00:08:31Charlie Chan!
00:08:32I thought your face is familiar. How are you, Mr. Chan?
00:08:35I'm here to see your beloved father.
00:08:39But father... he isn't here.
00:08:42If you're looking for mysteries, you've come to the right place, Mr. Chan.
00:08:45Miss Arnold has one all ready for you.
00:08:48Dad went away over a month ago.
00:08:51We've heard from him only once since he left.
00:08:53Oh, I know it must sound foolish, but...
00:08:55I have the strangest feeling that something's happened to him.
00:08:58He hasn't been himself since he opened our mate's tomb.
00:09:01Is she just making a mountain out of a molehill?
00:09:03Insignificant molehill.
00:09:05Sometime more important than conspicuous mountain.
00:09:09Professor Thurston, your uncle, he is here perhaps?
00:09:12No, he's in Luxor.
00:09:14We'll wait till the sun drops, then we'll all drive in together.
00:09:17Thank you so much.
00:09:19Thank you so much.
00:09:29Crazy with a gun.
00:09:31Thank you so much.
00:09:33Stick around, Snowshoes.
00:09:50The beauty of Egyptian night captured in simple melody.
00:09:53Those native things are all right for a while.
00:09:55But one of these days, I'm going to send home for some jazz.
00:09:58The old maestro stuff.
00:09:59Be out there.
00:10:07Good evening, Mr. Arnold. Has Uncle John returned?
00:10:10He's in the laboratory.
00:10:11But he heard your arrival in the car and will be up in a moment.
00:10:15A waiting room?
00:10:16Yes, Miss Arnold.
00:10:17Will you ask Snyder to bring some cigarettes from my room?
00:10:19Certainly.
00:10:20You have one of mine?
00:10:21No, thanks. I prefer my own.
00:10:23We're going to the study, Mr. Chan.
00:10:25Smoke?
00:10:27Do not indulge.
00:10:28What? What is that? Lost my glasses again?
00:10:31Hey, pull them out!
00:10:33You mustn't mind if Uncle John seems a bit angry, Mr. Chan.
00:10:35He'll be all right when he gets his glass.
00:10:40Ah, I thought I heard that old rattle trap of your driver, Tom.
00:10:43It's enough to wake the dead.
00:10:46When archaeology pays bigger and better dividends, I'll get a new one.
00:10:49Uncle John, this is Mr. Chan, Professor Thurston.
00:10:52How do you do?
00:10:53So pleased.
00:10:54Mr. Chan wanted to see Dad.
00:10:56I've explained his way.
00:10:58Oh, yes.
00:10:59Sit down, won't you?
00:11:01Thank you, sir.
00:11:04Was it on a matter of importance, Mr. Chan?
00:11:06Most important.
00:11:08Business with the French Archaeological Society.
00:11:10Oh, then perhaps I can help you.
00:11:12I'm in charge during my brother-in-law's absence.
00:11:14Oh, then we'll come to point quickly.
00:11:17The matter concerns valuable items taken from the tomb of High Priest Ameti.
00:11:23In just what way, Mr. Chan?
00:11:26Archaeological Society financed Professor Arnold's researches...
00:11:31with understanding that all objects taken from tombs...
00:11:35with exception of those claimed by Egyptian government...
00:11:38become property of Society Museum.
00:11:42That's quite correct.
00:11:44Everything taken from the Ameti tomb...
00:11:46is now in course of cataloging...
00:11:48in preparation for shipment.
00:11:50Correction, please.
00:11:52Valuable items taken from tomb...
00:11:55discovered six months ago...
00:11:57now in possession of private collectors...
00:12:00and rival museums in Europe.
00:12:02That's impossible.
00:12:04Pardon, please.
00:12:06Here are photographs.
00:12:08This necklace...
00:12:10with identifying seal of Ameti.
00:12:14This ring of Ameti...
00:12:16now in Berlin Museum.
00:12:20Then they're imitation.
00:12:22Why?
00:12:23We have a native craftsman, Ed Fouamad...
00:12:25who can duplicate things like those...
00:12:27so closely that even an expert can't tell the difference.
00:12:29Pardon me, Bendy.
00:12:33Your glasses.
00:12:35Is that all for tonight?
00:12:36Yes, you may go.
00:12:38I'm sure they're imitation, Mr. Chan.
00:12:41Experts have identified necklace and ring as genuine.
00:12:45Do you mean that the Society is accusing my father?
00:12:48So sorry.
00:12:50But Society demands explanation.
00:12:53On what grounds they withdrew their financial support...
00:12:55before the tomb was located?
00:12:57I question their right to investigate anything.
00:12:59Contract very plain.
00:13:01Items from Ameti tomb...
00:13:03property of French Museum.
00:13:07Must locate Professor Arnold.
00:13:10Well, I'd be glad to try again, Mr. Chan.
00:13:13Our last communication came from Navatar, the upper Nile...
00:13:16saying he wished to be undisturbed in his present work.
00:13:19He ignores our letters.
00:13:21Which isn't like daddy at all.
00:13:29Articles from Ameti tomb are here?
00:13:32Yes, in the lavatory.
00:13:34Would you care to see them?
00:13:36Much interested.
00:13:38Carol, perhaps you'd better go to your room, dear.
00:13:41She doesn't like our work, Mr. Chan.
00:13:43I hate it. It's taken my father away from me.
00:13:46Something's happened to him. I know it.
00:13:48Please, dear.
00:13:50Can't you help me find him, Mr. Chan?
00:13:53You must. You've got to.
00:13:56If possible, we'll be most happy.
00:14:00There, there, there, there.
00:14:05Let neither take you to your room, my dear.
00:14:13I'm... I'm sorry.
00:14:16Good night.
00:14:18And thank you, Chan.
00:14:24She's quite upset, Tom.
00:14:27She's quite upset, Tom.
00:14:29Perhaps you'd better phone for Dr. Racine.
00:14:31I think so, too.
00:14:33The laboratory's below, Mr. Chan.
00:14:35Thank you so much.
00:14:47A few of the more important items are here, Mr. Chan.
00:14:50The rest are in the storeroom.
00:14:52I'd be glad to check them with you at your convenience.
00:14:56That would be most helpful.
00:15:08X-ray machine?
00:15:10We have the most completely equipped laboratory in Luxor.
00:15:13This is a radiograph of a matey.
00:15:17Very interesting.
00:15:20Hands crossed in final sleep.
00:15:26Egyptian goddess?
00:15:29That is Sekhmet, goddess of vengeance.
00:15:31The ancients endowed her with many supernatural powers, Mr. Chan.
00:15:36Cannot believe a piece of carved stone can tame evil...
00:15:41unless dropped on foot.
00:15:45It's strange you should say that.
00:15:47May I ask why?
00:15:49That's how Miss Arnold's brother nearly met his death...
00:15:51ten years ago.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:55A matey?
00:15:57This case holds all that remains of one of the most powerful priests...
00:16:00of the 21st dynasty.
00:16:05Case has not been opened?
00:16:07No. You see it just as we found it.
00:16:10There is grain.
00:16:12What do you mean?
00:16:14Varnish on 3,000-year-old mummy case.
00:16:17Not completely dry.
00:16:20I don't understand this.
00:16:22Perhaps case has been opened.
00:16:24That's hardly possible.
00:16:26Yet.
00:16:30You're right, Mr. Chan.
00:16:32It has been tampered with.
00:16:34Would be most interesting to see inside.
00:16:37You mean open it?
00:16:39No, I wouldn't dare. Not without Professor Arnold's permission.
00:16:41He'd never forgive me.
00:16:44X-ray machine. Most useful for seeing where I cannot reach.
00:16:48Now get Snowshoes to give us a hand.
00:16:50See, I could carry you back to Mississippi with me...
00:16:53and don't have to worry about no job there...
00:16:55because I know a lot of white folks who could keep you working.
00:16:59Hey, Snowshoes.
00:17:01Sir?
00:17:02Come on in here. Make yourself at home.
00:17:04You go along now, kid, and I'll be seeing you...
00:17:06maybe tomorrow night.
00:17:08Alaykum salam.
00:17:10Allah Jafar.
00:17:12This is all right with me. I will see you anyhow.
00:17:21You want something outside with me, Mr. Charles?
00:17:25Now give us a hand here.
00:17:27Do as you're told.
00:17:29I'm not much of a touch and dance thing, Mr. Charles.
00:17:32Now slide it this way.
00:17:36Now the feet toward the floor, Snowshoes.
00:17:38Good. Now lift, lift, lift.
00:17:43Slowly. Now lower the feet.
00:17:46Lower them.
00:17:48Lower them.
00:17:50Be careful.
00:17:52Now raise, raise it.
00:17:55Find the frame.
00:17:58Turn it.
00:18:06All set?
00:18:08Wait till I put the lights out.
00:18:11Can't we see better with the lights on?
00:18:14Quiet and don't touch anything.
00:18:15What's that?
00:18:17Nothing.
00:18:22Here we go, Professor.
00:18:27That's a matey, all right.
00:18:30See? There's the identifying cartouche...
00:18:33suspended around his neck.
00:18:35Very interesting.
00:18:40Please.
00:18:46May display ignorance of Egyptian history by asking questions?
00:18:50Certainly.
00:18:51Did the high priest die a natural death?
00:18:54The Imani records indicate that he kicked off peacefully...
00:18:57at the ripe old age of 78.
00:18:59Contradiction, please.
00:19:01I meant to die a very violent death.
00:19:05How do you figure that?
00:19:08Observe.
00:19:11Modern bullet clearly revealed near heart.
00:19:15Say, that does look like a bullet.
00:19:18That settles it.
00:19:21What are you going to do? Open this case.
00:19:23Fine.
00:19:24Can I go now?
00:19:25No, get busy.
00:19:27Lower it down.
00:19:37All right, now. Here.
00:19:39Lift the lid off.
00:19:42Pull it over there.
00:19:51Now, let's get it on the table.
00:19:59All right, now.
00:20:10Professor Arnold.
00:20:15Look here, Professor. You're not going to say anything to Carol about this, are you?
00:20:19The con's started. The current's off again.
00:20:21Hey, Mr. Tom, look at that.
00:20:23Look at what?
00:20:24Miss Sackman's seal.
00:20:29That was Carol.
00:20:31Wait a minute, Tom. Wait a minute.
00:20:40Look.
00:20:42All right.
00:20:52Lighter.
00:21:07All right, now.
00:21:09The doctors will take medicine.
00:21:11No. Take them away.
00:21:13They don't help me. They never make me sleep.
00:21:15Dr. Racine says they are helping you.
00:21:40What happened, Carol?
00:21:44I was writing a letter to Colonel Bailey at Napa Tower.
00:21:47Asking him if he wouldn't try again to locate Father.
00:21:50And suddenly, my hands became icy cold.
00:21:54And my cigarette dropped to the floor.
00:21:56As I stooped to pick it up, everything seemed to stand still.
00:22:01I was frightened. I tried to cry out, but I couldn't.
00:22:06It seemed as though I were drifting into space.
00:22:10I got to my feet.
00:22:12I must have.
00:22:14For the next thing I knew, I was standing in the middle of the room.
00:22:17And then, I saw it.
00:22:19Its horrible head coming toward me out of the darkness.
00:22:22The head of Sackman.
00:22:25But, Carol dear, it could only have been your imagination.
00:22:29Of course, Carol dear.
00:22:32It was only your imagination.
00:22:35I suppose it was only my imagination when the wall of Socrates' tomb gave way and crushed me beneath it.
00:22:41Be quiet, will you?
00:22:43Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:22:45I'd forgotten.
00:22:47You're a courageous type who doesn't recognize fear.
00:22:51Well, I'm not, and neither is Carol.
00:22:53Be silent!
00:22:54A dozen others have died from opening their tombs. Why shouldn't we?
00:22:57Daddy, please!
00:23:03You know what I'm talking about, don't you?
00:23:08It's all our father's fault.
00:23:11He's the one who brought us into this land of decay and death.
00:23:14We hate him for it.
00:23:15It isn't true!
00:23:16Why pretend?
00:23:18You know you hate him as much as I do.
00:23:20Mary, come with me.
00:23:27Why doesn't father take us away from this dreadful place?
00:23:32Try to rest, dear.
00:23:35A good night's sleep will do you a lot of good.
00:24:32Oh, Tom.
00:24:40Would you mind staying with Barry for a little while?
00:24:42Certainly not.
00:24:43Thanks.
00:24:51Oh, Doctor, come in, come in.
00:24:53How's Carol?
00:24:55She's had a terrible shock.
00:24:57A repetition of last week's experience.
00:24:59A repetition of last week's experience.
00:25:01Oh, I'm sorry.
00:25:04Oh, Doctor, I see this is Mr. Chan.
00:25:06How do you do?
00:25:07Sir, please.
00:25:08The most tragic thing happened tonight, Anton.
00:25:10We found my...
00:25:11Excuse, please. Suggest Miss Arnold, now more important.
00:25:16You're right, of course. She's in her room.
00:25:19Pardon me.
00:25:30Mr. Chan, Professor Arnold's death
00:25:33pours an entirely different light on the matter of your business in Luxor.
00:25:36Yes?
00:25:39I did dispose of those items from the Ameti tomb.
00:25:43You see, after the society withdrew its support,
00:25:46Professor Arnold needed funds to carry on the work.
00:25:49He borrowed heavily from Dr. Racine,
00:25:52who, after the tomb was finally located,
00:25:54quite naturally felt he was entitled to a share of the fine.
00:25:58Arnold was an archaeologist, not a businessman,
00:26:02and with the existing complications of his contract with the society,
00:26:05the only solution seemed to be that I dispose of a few of the less valuable items,
00:26:09enough to pay part of his obligation to the doctor.
00:26:13A decision had to be made, so I assumed responsibility.
00:26:17Why did Professor go away?
00:26:20He was furious when I told him what I'd done.
00:26:23Meanwhile, having found evidence of a royal burial ground at Mapatar,
00:26:27he decided to attempt locating the tombs,
00:26:30feeling that if he turned over their contents to the society,
00:26:33they would be amply compensated for what they lost from the Ameti finds.
00:26:37Most commendable.
00:26:39I'm frightfully worried about Barry.
00:26:42Now, you're not to worry about anything except getting a little sleep.
00:26:52There. That's better.
00:26:58Miss Arnold isn't asleep within the hour.
00:27:01Give her another of those pallets.
00:27:03Yes, Stanley.
00:27:04Good night, my dear.
00:27:06Good night.
00:27:10You say obligation to Dr. Racine not fully paid?
00:27:15When Professor Arnold went away,
00:27:17Dr. Racine kindly consented to extend his note another 90 days.
00:27:21May I inquire what right this gentleman has to ask you?
00:27:25May I inquire what right this gentleman has to ask questions regarding a purely personal matter?
00:27:30Mr. Chan represents the French Archaeological Society.
00:27:33How does that concern me?
00:27:35Every detail most important where murder concerns.
00:27:40Murder?
00:27:41Professor Arnold is dead.
00:27:44I don't understand.
00:27:45Circumstance is very mysterious.
00:27:48Body found in Ameti mummy case with bullet near heart.
00:27:52That bullet was not the cause of his death, Mr. Chan.
00:27:55Please explain.
00:27:57There was trouble with the natives a few days after the Ameti tomb was opened.
00:28:01Professor Arnold was wounded.
00:28:03And bullet not removed?
00:28:05No.
00:28:06Why not?
00:28:08Examination disclosed it was too near the heart to risk an operation.
00:28:12Perhaps I'd better.
00:28:13Please.
00:28:15Must touch nothing until after autopsy.
00:28:19Very well.
00:28:20Why should anyone have committed such a fantastic crime?
00:28:25Very strange.
00:28:27Were it not for bullet and body, might almost believe in power of ancient goddess.
00:28:33It's my father.
00:28:35He's dead, isn't he?
00:28:37Yes, Barry.
00:28:38I knew it.
00:28:40I've known it ever since he went away.
00:28:43He discovered the secret of Ameti's tomb.
00:28:47And the dark waters of the forbidden places carried him to his death.
00:28:52Barry, what nonsense is this?
00:28:55He ignored the warning and it destroyed him.
00:28:58Just as it will destroy us all.
00:29:03Here, here, this won't do.
00:29:07Pardon.
00:29:08Must go.
00:29:09But first, may have letter of Professor Arnold from Napata.
00:29:14Why?
00:29:16Yes, I have it here.
00:29:19Thank you so much.
00:29:21Good night.
00:29:22Good night, Mr. Chan.
00:29:27I'm so sorry.
00:29:29I'll drive you in to look, sir.
00:29:31Oh, thank you so much, sir.
00:29:32See you in the morning, Professor.
00:29:37Why not put up with me while you're here? I've plenty of room.
00:29:40Have got extra pajamas?
00:29:42You bet I have.
00:29:44You will be most grateful for hospitality.
00:30:03Well, here we are.
00:30:04Thank you so much.
00:30:06Yes.
00:30:25Egyptian night now most peaceful.
00:30:28Make yourself at home while I round up those pajamas for you.
00:30:31Size 52, please.
00:30:33You take what I've got.
00:30:34I like them.
00:30:35Thank you so much.
00:30:37May make notes on writing machine?
00:30:40Sure, help yourself.
00:30:41You'll find some paper in the left-hand drawer.
00:31:15How are these?
00:31:17They make Charlie Chan look like a zebra.
00:31:20This is your block next to the wall.
00:31:22With back to wall can fight off demon of sleeplessness.
00:31:30What's the matter? Can't you read your own writing?
00:31:33Something here very strange.
00:31:36What?
00:31:37Something here very strange.
00:31:39What?
00:31:40Something here very strange.
00:31:42Very strange.
00:31:43What?
00:31:46Professor Arnold go to Napata four weeks ago?
00:31:49Yes.
00:31:51According to date, this letter written two weeks ago.
00:31:55That's right.
00:31:56But professor dead before letter written.
00:32:01Still more strange.
00:32:03Letter written here.
00:32:06On your machine.
00:32:08Now, wait a minute. After all...
00:32:11Observe, please. Similarity of type.
00:32:16See, they do look the same.
00:32:18Man who write that letter kill professor Arnold.
00:32:24Boy, it looks kind of bad for me, doesn't it, Mr. Chan?
00:32:27Reports of society indicate you were discharged by professor Arnold.
00:32:32Yes, we did have a little argument about the meteoroglyphics.
00:32:35But professor Thurston took me back again a few days later.
00:32:39Who beside you use writing machine?
00:32:42Well, Thurston, Barry, Edfu Ahmed, even Snowshoes. We all do.
00:32:47Edfu Ahmed. He is Egyptian?
00:32:50According to him, a direct descendant of Ahmeti.
00:32:53Young Mr. Arnold mention secret of Ahmeti tomb.
00:32:59Tomb has secret?
00:33:01Not that I know of.
00:33:03You see, the records indicate...
00:33:06that Ahmeti was supposed to have collected the mummies...
00:33:08and the royal paraphernalia of the 20th dynasty pharaohs for safekeeping.
00:33:12Professor Arnold thought that he had discovered the treasure when he opened the tomb.
00:33:16But it didn't pan out that way.
00:33:18He was still looking for it at the time he disappeared.
00:33:21Would much like to see Ahmeti tomb.
00:33:23Tonight?
00:33:24Waiting for tomorrow. Waste of today.
00:33:27Let's go.
00:33:33As usual, the battery is dead.
00:33:36Hey, Snowshoes.
00:33:38Sir?
00:33:40Bring your flashlight. We're going to the tomb.
00:33:43Now? Tonight?
00:33:45Yes. Make it snappy.
00:33:47I'm not mad with all them hands. Why don't we let them sleep nice?
00:33:52Let them all stand up. No one of them gets mad and chills, folks.
00:33:59If somebody was looking for you, you wouldn't be there. Close yourself.
00:34:05Come on, Snowshoes.
00:34:07Yes, sir.
00:34:09There you lie, Mr. Thomas.
00:34:11All right, give us some. We're down the steps.
00:34:14After y'all, gentlemen.
00:34:16Go on.
00:34:18But y'all coming too, ain't you?
00:34:21Yes, go ahead.
00:34:26Pull that light still so I can see the lock.
00:34:29I'm just so cold.
00:34:31You act like it.
00:34:35All right, turn on the power.
00:34:56I've made the tomb equipped with modern convenience.
00:34:59Nothing too good for all of me.
00:35:03This is the ante room, where we found a few important pieces.
00:35:06But it wasn't there we made our real discoveries.
00:35:11The mummy case was in this stone sarcophagus.
00:35:15Very interesting.
00:35:17From here, an image of Sekhmet kept watchful eye over old Ameite.
00:35:21All the good it did him.
00:35:23And that?
00:35:24Oh, that's the storage room.
00:35:27In here, we found Ameite's chariot, his bed, and the whole raft of personal effects.
00:35:32Even an alabaster jar that still carried the odor of the perfume that it contained.
00:35:36Also very interesting.
00:35:39Another room?
00:35:41No, it's just an unfinished passage.
00:35:43Ameite probably died before his tomb was completed.
00:35:47Come on.
00:35:49How are you?
00:35:51Welcome home.
00:35:53Life ain't going my way.
00:35:56Snowshoe, it's half on your flashlight.
00:35:58Yes, but something knocked it out of my head.
00:36:00Well, find it!
00:36:06Oh, Lord, it's starting to get out of hand, isn't it?
00:36:09No, come on.
00:36:11Oh, Lord, no, come on.
00:36:14Oh, God.
00:36:16Oh, she got me.
00:36:18Oh, she got me.
00:36:20Oh, Lord, help me with this goat hair.
00:36:22Oh, Lord.
00:36:24Excuse me, Mr. Coles.
00:36:26Get away with that thing.
00:36:27See you right back.
00:36:28Leave me in here.
00:36:30No, no, no.
00:36:38Well, it's a sense it isn't in here now.
00:36:41Very strange.
00:36:43Sigmund disappear like a Cheshire cat of Alice in Land of Wonder.
00:36:49Stops me.
00:37:20Looks like somebody's gunning for us.
00:37:22As Sun Lee would say, you telling me?
00:37:50The powder is a harmless sedative, offendee.
00:37:53Prescribed quite regularly by Dr. Anton Racine.
00:37:57Dr. Racine, perhaps by Mapuchare here.
00:38:02No, no.
00:38:04I do not sell the drug at all.
00:38:06No?
00:38:07No.
00:38:09Thank you so much.
00:38:20Come out!
00:38:25Ah!
00:38:27Defendee snowshoe.
00:38:29Oh, mister, I am feeling so good this morning, you hear?
00:38:33Tonight we go to burial ground and steal the mummy of your sacred ancestor.
00:38:38I never had the last night graveyard hands and me going to be strangers.
00:38:42Totally incomplete.
00:38:44Tonight!
00:38:46Tonight!
00:38:48Tonight!
00:38:49I am best man servant!
00:38:51I am best dragon man in Luxor!
00:38:58Good evening, offendee.
00:39:00Good evening.
00:39:01Professor Thurston is...
00:39:03Is in the laboratory with Dr. Racine and the other learned gentlemen from Luxor.
00:39:08The anatomical investigation to determine the cause of Professor Arnold's death is in progress.
00:39:15Other learned gentlemen are police?
00:39:18The police, offendee.
00:39:21Thank you so much.
00:39:23Oh, pardon.
00:39:25May I ask a question, please?
00:39:27Certainly, offendee.
00:39:32Ancient Egyptians familiar with the facts of Mapuchare?
00:39:37The ancients had knowledge of many things.
00:39:41Of Mapuchare?
00:39:44Perhaps so.
00:39:46I could not say.
00:39:48No.
00:39:50Thank you so much.
00:40:03Oh, good evening, Mr. Chan.
00:40:04Good evening.
00:40:05That will be all, doctor.
00:40:06Your Excellency, may I present Mr. Chan?
00:40:09His Excellency, Fuad Suida of the police department in Luxor.
00:40:13So pleased.
00:40:14Pleasure indeed, Mr. Chan.
00:40:16But under unfortunate and most perplexing circumstances.
00:40:21Cannot read printing in new book until pages cut?
00:40:26Oh, yes.
00:40:27Professor Thurston has explained that you have been good enough to interest yourself in the case.
00:40:33We will be most grateful for the benefit of such assistance as you may be able to offer.
00:40:40Very pleased to cooperate.
00:40:42I am certain matter now in most efficient hands.
00:40:46Oh, thank you.
00:40:49I believe that is all for now.
00:40:50I will make him a report at once.
00:40:52Good night, doctor.
00:40:53Good night, sir.
00:40:54Good night, Mr. Chan.
00:40:55Good night.
00:40:58Oh, you have list of articles from Mamet the tomb?
00:41:01Oh, yes.
00:41:02I had F.O. Ahmed prepare it for you today.
00:41:04If you'll excuse me.
00:41:13You have determined cause of death?
00:41:16Yes.
00:41:17There's evidence that a heavy blow at the base of the brain induced a cerebral hemorrhage.
00:41:22Also find small incision at jugular vein?
00:41:26Yes.
00:41:27Made for purpose of draining blood to mumbo-jumbo.
00:41:31Oh, I see.
00:41:32Yes, sir.
00:41:33And you have determined cause of death?
00:41:36Yes.
00:41:37There's evidence that a heavy blow at the base of the brain induced a cerebral hemorrhage.
00:41:42That seems rather an obvious conclusion.
00:41:45Conclusion also obvious.
00:41:49Operation performed by hands of expert.
00:41:53A sharp knife in the hands of any intelligent person could accomplish the same thing.
00:41:57Many intelligent persons afraid even to touch sharp knife.
00:42:03Bullet near heart removed?
00:42:05Of course not.
00:42:06Professor Thurston explained last night that it had nothing to do with Arnold's death.
00:42:10So sorry.
00:42:12Memory very bad sometimes.
00:42:15You have a theory about this, of course.
00:42:17Theory like mist on eyeglasses obscures facts.
00:42:22Our local authorities have very clear vision, Mr. Chan.
00:42:25You'll find the most helpful.
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:30Thank you so much.
00:43:12Tom.
00:43:13Yes, dear?
00:43:15There's no reason for us staying in Egypt now.
00:43:18Now, don't you worry.
00:43:20It's just a matter of a little while until we can get things settled here, and we'll all be going home.
00:43:36Shall I ask him to stop?
00:43:37No, please don't.
00:43:39He seems to take his thoughts off all that's happened.
00:43:42Tom, I'm worried about Barry.
00:43:44This superstition of the tomb, it's beginning to affect his mind.
00:43:48Oh, Carol.
00:43:49I didn't know that you and Tom had returned.
00:43:51We only took a short walk.
00:43:53You won't mind if I go in now, dear, will you?
00:43:55Of course not.
00:43:56Good night.
00:43:57Good night.
00:44:00How's she feeling, Tom?
00:44:01She's worried over Barry.
00:44:03He's letting that foolishness about Sekhmet scare the life out of him.
00:44:06With all that's happened, you can't blame him.
00:44:07With all that's happened, you can hardly blame the boy.
00:44:10I'm so sorry to intrude.
00:44:13Did you find the list of items correct, Mr. Chang?
00:44:15Thank you so much.
00:44:16Let me close. Nothing else this evening.
00:44:17Please.
00:44:18Time now to discuss a matter of great importance.
00:44:22Yes.
00:44:23May I ask a question, please?
00:44:26Certainly.
00:44:27Can you explain, perhaps, the effects of drug makhchadi?
00:44:32Well, the effects depend largely on the individual.
00:44:36Yes.
00:44:38In general, the victim loses all sense of time and reality.
00:44:41He suffers from false convictions, hallucinations.
00:44:45If the doses are sufficiently powerful, death ensues.
00:44:51That is, perhaps, explanation.
00:44:53Explanation of what, Mr. Chang?
00:44:55Strange mental condition of Miss Arnold last night.
00:44:59You mean she was drugged?
00:45:01Analysis of cigarettes today disclose makhchadi.
00:45:05What?
00:45:06Surprise.
00:45:08You did not recognize symptoms which you described so clearly, Doctor.
00:45:12This is incredible.
00:45:14Why should anyone do such a thing?
00:45:16Problem still to be solved.
00:45:19Perhaps Mr. Barry has answer.
00:45:22What do you mean?
00:45:24Remarks made last night suggest he know where Father was searching for secret treasure.
00:45:29That knowledge most dangerous.
00:45:33It is important we speak with Mr. Barry at once.
00:45:35Very well.
00:45:53Barry, what is it?
00:45:55Let's get him to bed, quick.
00:46:04He's dead.
00:46:05Dead?
00:46:06Apparently, violent reaction of the heart.
00:46:08This may be occasioned by sudden shock or terrific fright.
00:46:12But what could have caused it?
00:46:13We were all on the patio.
00:46:14We saw nothing.
00:46:15The gods of Egypt are powerful gods.
00:46:18Their vengeance is taken, Professor Arnold.
00:46:20And now, his son.
00:46:22What do you know of the death of Professor Arnold?
00:46:24I do not know.
00:46:26I do not know.
00:46:28I do not know.
00:46:30I do not know.
00:46:32What do you know of the death of Professor Arnold and Barry?
00:46:35Sekhmet's warning was not heeded.
00:46:37Excuse, please.
00:46:39Avenging God is not responsible for Mapuchari in cigarettes?
00:46:43I know nothing of that.
00:46:45Who supplies cigarettes for Miss Arnold?
00:46:47Why?
00:46:49You.
00:46:50You buy those cigarettes.
00:46:52Tom, call the police.
00:46:53Don't move, Ability.
00:46:55The police cannot help you now.
00:46:57This household is marked for death.
00:47:03Stay where you are, offenders.
00:47:07You knew there was danger.
00:47:09Then you must have suspected this madman.
00:47:11Why didn't you warn us?
00:47:13Your carelessness is responsible for that boy's death.
00:47:19Most regretful.
00:47:21Impossible to prepare defense until direction of attack is known.
00:47:26Shall I call the police?
00:47:28Yes.
00:47:29One moment, please.
00:47:31One moment, please.
00:47:34May call police if you so desire.
00:47:36But shall continue investigation in own way.
00:47:42Extend deepest sympathy.
00:47:46Good night.
00:47:50I'll be back later.
00:47:55Sheriff.
00:47:56Yes?
00:47:57What are you going to do now?
00:47:59Have a curiosity to visit tomb where Goddard's segment mysteriously disappeared last night.
00:48:06Let's go.
00:48:07Yes.
00:48:11Hey, snowshoes, come on with that light.
00:48:13Yes, but I was just seeing if anything was behind us before it's getting there ahead of us.
00:48:18Go ahead.
00:48:25Have you made search for secret way out?
00:48:28I checked every inch of the place a dozen times.
00:48:31This was the storage room?
00:48:33Yes.
00:48:35Hieroglyphics and symbols different from other rooms.
00:48:39You know meaning?
00:48:41Well, that upper border is a maiden's prayer to the Goddard's segment for protection.
00:48:44And these?
00:48:46Merely ornamentation.
00:48:48The design alternates with the symbols expressing life and death and so on across.
00:48:54I'm a man very shocked.
00:48:56Life, death.
00:48:59Life, death.
00:49:04I'm reminded of ancient sage Confucius who writes, from life to death is reach of man.
00:49:13Observe.
00:49:15That's good logic, all right, but it doesn't get us anywhere.
00:49:19Most peculiar.
00:49:21Ghost of segment disappear in room of mystic symbols.
00:49:42I vote together.
00:49:45Mr. Tom, you're storing up them hats again.
00:49:53Could you have a grave?
00:49:58Secret waters, which Mr. Barry mentioned last night.
00:50:02Searchers, bring a light.
00:50:04Yes, sir.
00:50:08Say, do you think Barry really know about this?
00:50:11The hasty conclusion he needs to make, like hole in water.
00:50:15I wonder who that was masquerading as segment.
00:50:18Murderer of Professor Arnold, who tried to frighten us from tomb.
00:50:28Observe.
00:50:30Direction of current indicate water flow on the rock.
00:50:34If there's a current, that means this water comes from the mile.
00:50:37It's as if there's something on the other side.
00:50:40Good swimmer could maybe dive under, find out.
00:50:44Nothing like trying.
00:50:46But, Mr. Tom, you oughtn't to dive in them half-swimming holes.
00:50:50Quiet snowshoes.
00:50:52Would recommend extreme caution.
00:50:54Now, don't worry about me.
00:50:56Waterproof.
00:51:00Thanks.
00:51:01I think I'll have to hold you back, you don't know how long.
00:51:04Well, here goes.
00:51:10Hey, Mr. Tom, you forgot to take off your wristwatch.
00:52:10Some of them haven't even said nothing yet.
00:52:40Professor Arnold.
00:53:10Why, why did you...
00:53:37Look, Mr. Chang, he must have made it all right.
00:53:40Mr. Tom, that you?
00:53:43Mr. Tom?
00:53:45Oh, please.
00:53:47Yes, but we ought to wait till we know where we go from this.
00:53:53Look.
00:53:54Mr. Tom?
00:53:57Let me... let me call Mr. Arnold.
00:54:00Is he hurt bad?
00:54:02Yes, please. Must get Mr. Arnold to the doctor at once.
00:54:10Come on, come on.
00:54:26What?
00:54:41Excuse, please. Professor Thurston gone long?
00:54:45He went into Luke, sir, to see the police.
00:54:48Oh.
00:54:49Mr. Chang.
00:54:50Yes?
00:54:51I hope a Fendi oven will get well.
00:54:54Kind thoughts add favorable weight in balance of life and death.
00:56:10Mr. Thurston.
00:56:40Mr. Thurston.
00:57:10Mr. Thurston.
00:57:41Professor Thurston has returned?
00:57:44No, a Fendi.
00:57:46Inform, please. We'll be in laboratory.
00:57:55Is he going to be all right, doctor?
00:57:58He has a very good chance.
00:58:41I hardly know what to suggest, Your Excellency.
00:58:44Would you care to start your investigation in Barry's room?
00:58:47All in good time, Professor. I shall take care of everything.
00:58:50Pardon, Mr. Fendi. Mr. Chang is waiting for you in the laboratory.
00:58:53Mr. Chang? I thought you told him to go.
00:58:55Will you please come with us, Your Excellency?
00:59:00Mr. Thurston.
00:59:02Mr. Thurston.
00:59:04Mr. Thurston.
00:59:06Mr. Thurston.
00:59:08Mr. Thurston.
00:59:10Mr. Thurston.
00:59:19What are you doing here, Mr. Chang?
00:59:21Pardon intrusion of unwelcome presence.
00:59:24But I've learned something of great interest.
00:59:27His Excellency will be judge of that.
00:59:30Most happy to have Excellency's distinguished opinion.
00:59:35Also of Miss Arnold, if you will be so kind.
00:59:41Very well, Mr. Chang.
00:59:43Your prying into our affairs has brought us nothing but misfortune.
00:59:46First it was Barry, and now it's Tom.
00:59:49What happened to Tom?
00:59:50Attempt made on life tonight in Namethi tomb.
00:59:54Two bullets in chest.
00:59:56Where is he?
00:59:57Oh, wait, please. He's still unconscious.
01:00:00Dr. Champeau is with him now in the guest room.
01:00:03You have no right to expose Tom to such danger.
01:00:06We look to you for protection which you haven't given us.
01:00:09I ask you to leave, Mr. Champeau.
01:00:11That is already arranged. His Excellency is taking charge.
01:00:21Regret humble efforts have been unsuccessful.
01:00:25Admitting failure like drinking bitter tea.
01:00:30One last request. Permission, please, to perform simple demonstration.
01:00:39Thank you so much.
01:00:43Sealed tube like this could contain enough gas to cause death.
01:00:49That would depend upon the kind of gas used, also the amount inhaled by the victim.
01:01:02At time of death, Mr. Barry playing violin.
01:01:07Observe hole through which murderer insert tube of deadly gas into sound box.
01:01:14All very interesting, Mr. Chan.
01:01:16But how could your murderer have broken the tube while Barry was playing?
01:01:20Murderer very ingenious.
01:01:23He knew scientific fact that very thin glass vibrate to certain sound.
01:01:30We'll demonstrate.
01:01:38While playing, Mr. Barry's face directly over sound vent.
01:01:44Inhale deadly gas.
01:01:47Die almost instantly.
01:01:50You have established motive, Mr. Chan.
01:01:53Motive for murders of professionals.
01:01:57Of course.
01:01:59What is it?
01:02:01Discover hidden room in tomb tonight.
01:02:05Also, clothing of professor Arnold.
01:02:09Then he did find the treasure.
01:02:12Yes.
01:02:14He found the treasure.
01:02:17He found the treasure.
01:02:20He found the treasure.
01:02:23Then he did find the treasure.
01:02:26Yes.
01:02:28And someone else having same knowledge, killed professor to keep treasure for self.
01:02:35Then when murderer believe, some Barry also know secret, killed him too.
01:02:41That explains the ratings about the vengeance of segment.
01:02:46Hidden mask of goddess also found.
01:02:50Used by murderer to frighten intruders away from tomb.
01:02:55When device fail, murderer resort to more practical methods.
01:03:00Bullets, as in case of Mr. Tom Evans tonight.
01:03:05Did Mr. Evans see you fire the shots?
01:03:10Bullet mark on flash lamp prove light focused on guilty man.
01:03:15Then I must talk to him at once.
01:03:17Excuse, please.
01:03:19Must not disturb at present.
01:03:22When conscious, Mr. Evans will name murderer.
01:03:27Case now in your hands, excellency.
01:03:38Goodbye, gentlemen.
01:03:40Thank you so much.
01:03:43Well, your excellency?
01:03:45It is really very simple matter.
01:03:47All we have to do now is to capture Edward Amard and have a Mr. Evans identify him.
01:03:54Mr. Chan.
01:03:56Yes?
01:03:58If I've been rude, I owe you an apology.
01:04:02I resented your attitude of suspicion.
01:04:05I didn't realize how cleverly you were handling this matter.
01:04:07Thank you so much.
01:04:17You don't seem to realize. You're dealing with a fanatic, a madman.
01:04:21Edward Amard must be captured dead or alive.
01:04:25And send two of my men here to keep watch outside.
01:04:28Yes, yes, immediately.
01:04:30Sorry to keep you waiting, sir.
01:04:36Pardon me.
01:04:37Yes, doctor?
01:04:38Is Dr. Racine still here?
01:04:40Why, I think you'll find him in the patio.
01:04:42Then with your permission, I shall leave the patient in his care.
01:04:46How soon will I be able to talk with Mr. Evans, doctor?
01:04:50Maybe some time before he recovers consciousness, your excellency.
01:04:54I'm afraid not.
01:04:56How soon will I be able to talk with Mr. Evans, doctor?
01:04:59Maybe some time before he recovers consciousness, your excellency.
01:05:03Then there's nothing to do but wait.
01:05:14Good evening, Dr. Racine.
01:05:16Good evening.
01:05:17I trust you understand. This emergency required immediate attention.
01:05:21And you were not available.
01:05:23I'm very glad that Mr. Evans was in such capable hands.
01:05:26Thank you, sir. Good night.
01:05:28Good night.
01:05:53Good night.
01:06:24Good night.
01:06:39Look.
01:06:40I'm sorry I startled you.
01:06:42One of my lancets is missing, and I thought perhaps Dr. Japur might have borrowed it and left it here.
01:06:47I'm sure I don't know.
01:06:49Have you noticed any change?
01:06:51He seems all right.
01:06:53He must get well.
01:07:03Would you mind opening the window a little, please?
01:07:19Has Tom recovered consciousness?
01:07:22Not yet. He has a slight temperature, but that's to be expected.
01:07:28Then if there's no immediate danger, you'd better get some rest, dear.
01:07:31But Uncle John...
01:07:32Now, Carol, remember you've been ill.
01:07:34Come, let me get you something to make you sleep.
01:07:36I'm all right.
01:07:37Now, don't worry. I'll let you know the moment there's any change.
01:07:52I'll be back shortly.
01:08:22Ah.
01:08:52One moment, please.
01:09:17Do not move.
01:09:23Place knife on table.
01:09:34Here you go, please, Mr. Chang.
01:09:36Thank you so much.
01:09:46What has happened, Mr. Chang?
01:09:48And where did you find that lancet? It was missing from my case.
01:09:53Very clever thought...
01:09:55to insert lancet into bullet wound...
01:09:58to make silent only witness who could accuse you.
01:10:02But what about Edfu Ahmad?
01:10:05Entirely innocent.
01:10:07Fanatic devotion to resting place of ancestors...
01:10:10provide excellent shield for real murderer.
01:10:14You killed Professor Arnold for Armeta treasure.
01:10:18You drugged Miss Carol's cigarettes...
01:10:21to discount anxiety over disappearance of father.
01:10:26Later, when Mr. Barry appeared to have knowledge of treasure...
01:10:30killed him also to keep secret.
01:10:33And tonight shoot Mr. Evans when he recognize you in tomb.
01:10:42Bullet which wound Professor Arnold six months ago...
01:10:47and one which wound Mr. Evans...
01:10:50tonight fired from same gun.
01:10:53Your gun.
01:10:55Take him away.
01:11:01You have been very helpful, Mr. Chang.
01:11:05Thank you so much.
01:11:12Most grateful for very able assistance.
01:11:15It was terrible sitting here waiting...
01:11:17wondering how your plan would work out.
01:11:20Courage, greatest devotion to those we love.
01:11:41Good-bye, appendage snowshoes.
01:11:43Yes, but where you go from here?
01:11:46Journey of life like feather on stream...
01:11:49must continue with current.
01:11:52Yes, sir.
01:11:55I guess you're right, but I'm going with you.
01:12:01Go on.
01:12:02Go on, darling.
