Losing it like this.

Is it quite irrecoverable?

- Oh, yes, sir. Quite.

- I see. Thank you, officer.

One moment, sir, if you don't mind.

The contents of the box?

Relics, officer. Egyptian relics.

Nothing more.

I'm very sorry.

I simply cannot explain it.

First, this recovery, and now this.

I've never known him so violent.

He seems to have a persecution mania.

He thinks someone wants to kill him.

- When did it start?

- Yesterday evening.

There's nothing I can do.

Nothing whatever, I'm afraid.

We have him in a padded cell.

- Is that necessary?

- We can't afford to take any chances.

He may do himself a serious injury.

With this persecution complex...

...he's liable to take his own life

to cheat whoever is after him.

What could have done this to him?

He hasn't an enemy in the world.

Great Karnak,

god of all light and darkness...

...hear this prayer from

the humblest of your servants.

Help me in my task.

Make my way easy,

that I may achieve your desires...

...and return to the land

of my forebears.

"Return, O Ka, the double.

O Ba, the soul.

Pulse strong, O Ab, the heart.

Make supple the limbs

and strong the sinews.

Refill this heart with tenderness

that he may walk the land of Khem...

...in all thy strength and beauty...

...and wear once more the Urolith. "

O Karnak, through me...

...guide this, thy servant,

on his appointed task.

Go now. Go and destroy those who

desecrated the tomb of our princess.

Those unbelievers who gazed

upon her long-dead face.

Go.

And let the spirit of Karnak,

our god, go with you.

If you want anything in the night,

ring this bell.

It's no good shouting or banging

on the door. We won't hear you.

All right now?

Good night, Mr. Banning.

Help! Help! Help!

The nature of this deed...

...points to the fact that it was

committed by a homicidal maniac.

If it weren't for the evidence

of forced entry...

...I wouldn't hesitate

in telling the doctor...

...to look among his own inmates.

However, there is no doubt...

...that the perpetrator

came from outside...

...and left the premises

immediately after the crime.

I can only exhort the police...

...to apprehend this individual

with the utmost dispatch.

The verdict of this court is murder

by person or persons unknown.

- "Person or persons unknown. "

- Coroner said it was a maniac.

I can't believe that.

There must be a motive somewhere.

Let's go through his papers. He was

in the nursing home for three years.

Before that, 10 years in Egypt.

We'll have plenty to work on.

Father kept a record of everything.

I don't know what we're looking for.

I don't know myself. A letter, a note.

Anything that may give us a lead.
