• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Edward, Yes, your excellency, I plan to bring her directly
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: to the British Museum.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: As Foreign Minister for his Royal Highness the Katie. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: do not advise it. What you mean you told me
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: about the voice in the tomb, Sir Edward.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: You have been warned.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, your agency, I know the legend supposed to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: be a fanatical Egyptian sect called the Society of the Sun,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: devoted to the protection of the sacred spirits of the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: royal dead.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: You are well informed, Sir Edwin.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Of course it's.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: All rot, pure rubbish.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I heard a voice, yes, but I'm sure it came
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: from one of the Egyptians in my party, and where
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: in the tunnel, probably tried to frighten us away so
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: that he could rob the mummy case of its christless relics.
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: At will you still insist on transporting the money to
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: the British Museum.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: I do very well.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: You have royal authority and I cannot refuse you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: However, there are a few details I must insist upon.
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: Yes, the mummy case must remain sealed and placed on
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: the heavy guard for the entire voice, and I will
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: go along to see that this prizeless treasure of Egypt
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: arrived safely at its destination.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, Doctor Watson, now you had the background of
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: the story from his excellency here Armored Bay, and myself.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: We came directly to your quarters here at Faker Street
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: as soon as we saw the sarcophagus.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Safely delivered to the museum. I see.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: We felt that this was a matter far beyond the
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: province of the official police. So Edward here insisted that
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: you were the only man in the empire capable.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Of coping with this problem, mister Holmes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: In that assumption, your excellen say, so, Edward is entirely correct.
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: And I must say that I find your account of
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: the incident in the tomb quite fascinating.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So, Edward, do you think this fanatical cult may strike soon?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It is already struck, Doctor Wat's.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: What do I understand you to say?
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: So, Edward, the flee Society has taken its first victim.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, Yes, my assistance smile.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: He vanished on the on our third day out. We
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: never saw him again. The ducer said, interesting.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Sir Edward, very your excellent say yes, mister Holmes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: What is your opinion that this secret cult devoted to
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: the protection of Egypt's ancient tombs?
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: Mister Holmes, I am what you call modern. I was
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: educated at Oxford, and I know the views of the
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: Western world on these legends. I am not a superstitious
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: man myself, but I have a feeling that this cult
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: does exist.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Then you think it is dangerous, must be taken seriously, yes,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: doctor Watson.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: I have repeatedly suggested.
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: To Sir Edward here that the only safe course is
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: to restore the money of the Rameses Queen back to
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: its original resting place and seal the tubs, send the
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: Queen of Rameses back to Egypt.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: No, your excellency, this is the greatest discovery of my career.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: As you wish, Sir Edward, I must warn you, however,
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: that I, as well as you, are in acute danger
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: of death. After all, I have been an accessory to
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: spiriting the Mummy me out of Egypt. And if these
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: as Satins decide to pay a visit to my suite.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: At the stab, the window pane Watson has just been smashed.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: There's someone throw an object through it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I butts into the window. See anyone on the street below.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I thought I saw a shadow turned the corner, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I couldn't be sure to watch.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Here's the object that broke your window.
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: It's descabub, Yes, a green stone beetle, and there's a
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: note attached.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: To one of the claws.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Allow me to examine the notes, Your excellence, There.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Hm, nation homes, don't just stand there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: What the devil doesn't.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Say they were?
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: Sir Edward, you have been warned. Your time will come
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: and soon. For he who despoils the tumb of the parrels,
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: he who violates their eternal rest dies.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Come in.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, good evening, Hobbs.

• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the museum tonight, are you not, Yes, Sir Hobbes. As
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: director of the British Museum, I must emphasize the fact
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that you have a special responsibility tonight, yes, sir. Sir
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Edward Norcross has just brought us a new sarcophagus from Egypt.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: It contains the ancient Queen of Rameses and is priceless, priceless.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I want you to keep a special eye on it tonight.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: You follow me, Hobbs, All right, sir, I won't make
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: it out of my site forlong.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Very good, Hobbes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: You'll find the mummy case just below the massive granite
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: statue of Rameses in the Egyptian Central Saloon between the galleries.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Good night, Hobbes, good night, Doctor Foreside.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I say, homes, Yes, we're the devil. We go after
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Sir Edward Nahmad left our room to rushed me out
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: in the street.
• 8:53

• 9:02
  Speaker 9: induce stock to Forsyites to allow us a special showing
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: of her ancient majesty, the Queen of Ramesey.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, surely you don't believe the lesson.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I'm prepared for anything. At this point. We're dealing with
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: the mystic here, with a group of fanatics who will
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: stop at nothing.
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: I've instructed Sir Edward to bolt his doors and lock
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: his windows, but I fear it may not be enough.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: What do you mean.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: I mean that Sir Edward's in very grave danger.
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: Unless I underestimate this strange society of the sun, other
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: lives will be a stick before this night's done.
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: Hello, Hello, oh's there? Oh's there near that mummy case?
• 9:52

• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I stood there transfixed as that voice from the tomb
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: echoed to the vast eurie was in it spoke. Then
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it was still doctor Forsyth, illuminated one of the gas chandeliers,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and as the flickering flame played over the massive statue
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: with the bloodstained fist, we seemed to feel a living
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: presence in the room, mister Holmes.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, doctor Porkype.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: That voice, that eerie voice. It seemed to come from
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the mausoleum room next to the Minever gallery.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't we hurry off in pursuit home?
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: No, what's we should be wasting our time?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: But the museum is a vast place, Watson, as you
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: well know, consisting of whole series of special rooms. That
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: echoing voice could have come from anywhere the home.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Someone's coming.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I see a man coming in ster Holmes, see him?
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Ah, yes, the entrance to the nine gallery.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Mister Holmes.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Woice, his excellency. I'm in bed, mister Holmes.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: I came down to the museum to pay my respects
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: to doctor forsythe here and make a arrangements for the
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: exhibition of the Bummy Case. I didn't realize the museum
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: was closed. Then I saw you going to the front door,
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: heard the scream, and then.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Ah, I'm afraid we're all a little late. Your excellent there.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: Yes, I see that now, the society of the Sun.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: They've struck again.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: The statue of Ramesses seems to have struck this time,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Your excellence, there, if you will just look at the fist, blood,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: blood on the fist, the pharaoh's fighting in wrath in
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: revenge for the desecration of his queen.
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: I cannot accept that observation, your excellency. Massive statues of
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: red granite such as this one would find it very
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: difficult to move. The killer smeared the fist with a
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: blood of his victim to heighten the terror.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Mister Holmes, this is a terrible tragedy, terrible.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: There must be some course we can.
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: Take, quite doctor Porsye, we can begin where logic dictates,
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: with a stone coffin and the mummy of her Majesty.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: The Queen. Watson. You take that end of the stone
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: cover and take this. It's quite heavy.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You mean you're going to open to cover the mument
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: case home.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: I am indeed, mister Holmes. It is dangerous, but entirely
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: necessary and a risk we mistake. What over the mummy
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: case has already been opened. Will note the seal is
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: broken by Joe, mister Holmes. It is precisely doctor Forsyfe
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: and then Watson lived.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: Gentlemen, there she is the queen of the great pharaoh
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Rameses the second in a funeral croud of bandages.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Good Heaven's homes. She looks lifelike a secret loss.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: With my ancestors, Dr Watson the art of human preservation
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: for thousands.
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: Of one moment, Your excellency, Yes, mister Holmes, a most
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: unusual money this. Look closely at that portion of bandage
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: just over the heart. It's apparently been ripped open for
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: some reason, and then rees so with modern thread.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Mister Holmes, You're right, I usually.
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: Am doctor Fulsyde whatever. There seems to be a cavity
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: under that section of bandage. Note as I press my
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: finger upon it, it yields to the touch I, your excellency.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Yes, mister Holmes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Queen of
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: Rameses was given a rare and invisible gift by the
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: sun god Rah as one of the foremost Egyptologists in
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: the world.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Have you ever heard of this regend?
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: No, no, I have not.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: You are quite sure. I am positive, mister Holmes.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: Why do you are merely an inherent curiosity or excellency
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: are perhaps a positive thirst for facts. Come Watson with
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: the off well to Hope Bickers Street, My dear Watson,
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: Backers Street, to enjoy a quiet pipe and a bit
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: of good reading.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Holmes, how the devil can you sit in that chair
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: and read some obscure and dusty volume while these fanatic.
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: Patients wants some patience. I'm trying to resolve a point
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: of scholarship. This obscure and dusty volume.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Is, if so would reparently called.
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: It happens to be a rare addition of the Journal
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: of Egyptian Mythology from the first Dinostat of the Middle Empire.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I can't say I'm impressed. What is it?
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: I found it, Watson, I found it?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: You found what? I confess, Holmes, I'm entirely confused. Holmes.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Is a coach drawing up to the curb, obviously, Watson.
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: I can hear it quite plainly through the open window.
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: There's a man coming into the building. I think it's
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: Sir Edward. Not across Sir Edward, Watson. I instructed him
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: to stay in his rooms behind Bolton Key. The man's
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: in great danger.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: He's coming upstairs. Huh. Hose, good heavens, quick, Watson to
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the stairs. Hoose, it is Sir Edward. He's lying at
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the stairs.
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: Here he's dead quite with a crooked knife in his
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: back and a note in his hand.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Let's examine it.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Watson, Holmes, what does it say.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: My dear Sir Edward, I have had the good fortune
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: to obtain a strong lead on the Egyptian conspirators that
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: I require your immediate presence at Baker Street for the
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: purpose of information. You may have no fear of leaving
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: your quarters now I assure you all at last is safe.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: Signed home.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Ah. So that's how they lured Sir Edward from his rooms.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Homes They forged your hand right.
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: Yes, Watson, I believe Armed Bay mentioned that he had
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: taken a suite at the Savoy. Then let's hurry off
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: and see his excellency at once, for it too late,
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: Your Excellency does.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Seemed to be any one in homes? Basher Hoses left
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: his door and lot, you know, good Lord, look at
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: this room.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, a bit disorderly, Watson.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Be turned upside down, lands of smash, the furniture struggle.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Hello, what's this? What's what it seems?
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: That his Excellency was preparing for a long journey after
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: having early this evening arrived from one Aha.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Watson. Look here on the table, it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Seems to be a boat time table of Zilka. Precisely then,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: for some reasons returning to Egypt post Hanes on.
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: The countrary, My dear fellow, this happens to be the
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: timetable of the liner Catania. And the container leaves Liverpool
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: tomorrow at noon for America.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: For America hose station. All this doesn't make sense.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: It makes very good sense, Watson.
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: The intentions and activities of his excellency are met by
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: a crystal.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Care to me now, I ah, but this is only
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: a towel fill over the bed.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: Use your eyes, man, obsertlessly. You'll see this brown and
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: sticky stain on the corner of this towel, hose.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I see it now, and what is it?
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: That stain?
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: Happens to be resin white. And it may interest you
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: to know, Watson, that mummies and the nineteenth Egyptian dynasty
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: were embalmed in a coat of resin before they were
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: bandaged in order to preserve them. I should be very
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: happy to resolve this entire adventure. For you, Watson, or
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: at least partially on our way to the British Museum.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: It's there I think that we should see the end
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: of this blood drenched affair.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Holmes, at this moment, I'm completely babbled.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I see no connection between these veries of visions.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Then let me enlighten you Watson.
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: First, his excellency Armed Bay is a member of the
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: Secret Society of the Sun. But now let's reconstruct Watson.
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: Note that Armed Bay insisted on staying close to the
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: Mummy on its trip to England. It's reasonable to suppose
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: then that Armed could have thrown smife overboard, but subsequent
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: events made.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Me sure of it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: You remember we entered the museum with doctor Possith through
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: the main hall.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, Armid Bay was there before us. He called
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: to us from the nineber gallery on the opposite side.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Hence we were between him and the only available entrance.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Why, Joe, Holmes, you're right fight he assassinated the museum
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: god Hobbes. Then his greed got the better of it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: He knew the Ruby of Ra was hidden in the
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: Mummy's heart under the bandages. The Ruby of Ra, Watson,
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: according to the legend of which his excellency denied all knowledge.
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: The sun god Rah had given the Queen of Rameses
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: a huge rube from his protective shield. It was placed
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: in her heart to shield her from all harm and armould.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: They dug it out and reserved the.
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: Bandage exactbe I noticed a bit of thread on his
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: trouser cup when he approached us in the Egyptian Central Saloon.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: It was the same thread used to sell the money's bandages.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And that resins stay in on the towel.
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: Obvious, Watson, the ruby was covered with resin from the
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: Mummay and later armed Bay tried to wipe the sticky
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: residue off with the towel. He had planned to escape
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: to America with the ruby and sell it for a fortune.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Is it? Why are we going to the museum now homes?
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: Because Watson, I have a feeling that we shall encounter
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: the end of our adventure. There come, Watson, let us
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: again examine the occupant of this sarcophagist.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Give me a hand with his stone cover?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Will you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Whom's good?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Heavens the mummy the queen is It's calm quite that
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: in her place lies as excellent as the armored bear
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: with the crooked knife in his back.
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: Precisely, Watson, the revenge of the Society of the Sun
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: Armed Bay tried to betray his own colleagues in vain Homes.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I confess, I don't see how they can spirit a
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: mummy out of the British Museum.
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: They can, Watson, and they have this, my dear fellow,
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: is not only a sinister and deadly organization, but extremely resourceful.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: I have no doubt that even now they are taking
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: the ancient queen back to Egypt, where she will again
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: be entombed, away from prying foreign eyes, and with her
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: the great Ruby of rah Homes.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: What shall we do?
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Do nothing, my dear Watson.
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: We've done what we can to pursue this money. Further
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: would lead only to further death and disaster. We're dealing
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: in the role of the mystic the supernatural. To disturb
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: the Queen of Rameses is after all a kind of vandalism,
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: and I, for one, am inclined to.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Let the dead rest in peace.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson, that was certainly an unforgettable adventure.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Indeed, it was, mister Harris, And I might say here
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: that as far as I know the ancient Queen of
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Rameses has never been found, and Holmes and I always
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: took the view that, well may she rest in peace.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: And now, doctor Watson, what adventure will you have for
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: us next week?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Well, next week, mister Harris, I shall relate to you
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the adventure of the Discordant Bells. It concerns a creaking rope,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: a red smudge, a jangling refrain, and a human pendulum.
