Give me that!

This is way out of your league.

I haven't found

the man who goes with this...

"Remember...

Remember the sight we saw, my soul,

that beautiful soft summer morning..."

"...round a turning in the path..."

Thank you...

..."a disgusting carcass

on a bed scattered with stones,

its legs in the air like

a woman in heat..."

"Remember the sight we saw, my soul,

that beautiful soft summer morning...

round a turning in the path,

a disgusting carcass

on a bed scattered with stones,

its legs in the air like a woman

in heat..."

"... like a fountain

with its rhythmical sobs.

I can hear it clearly flowing

with a long,

murmuring sound, but I touch my body

in vain to find the wound..."

"...I am the vampire of my own heart,

One of the great outcasts condemned

to eternal laughter

who can no longer smile...".

Am I dead? I must be dead.

And you...

I know you,

you are from Hierakonopolis.

The god of the heavens.

I'm flattered, Nikopol,

wretched human.

...Anubis can't be far away?

The guardian of the tombs...

The god of the dead...

Don't ever speak

that jackal's name again,

you understand? Only my name...

Only me...

OK.. OK...

My leg!... Where is my leg?

You can see you're not dead...

The dead don't feel pain...

The dead don't bleed either.

Yeah,

I'm alive and I'm bleeding like a pig.

Listen carefully, I won't say it twice.

For two of your days now,

I have been looking for a host body,

for reasons that go far beyond any

human concerns.

I need a body

to welcome me and serve me.

You... You seem to be suitable.

I've tested seven humans before you

and rejected them all... But you,

your body is clean.

You come from the past...

Thirty years of hibernation...

Your body won't reject me.

We are compatible.

What year is it? Who set me free?

Your release is an accidental escape.

I was supposed to be let out in 2096.

I was released a year ahead

of schedule.

I've gained a year

but Iost a leg. F***!

Forget the old one...

Here's a new one.

Yes... Thank you for calling.

That was the forensic scientist

from Globus...

And?

The leg has been identified.

And?

Well... it belongs to... Nikopol.

Perfect

There's no way.

This thing weighs a ton.

I'll never be able to move.

That's right.

Without me you won't be able to move.

And by the way,

from now on you won't be able

to do much of anything without me...

I accept that I'm not dead now.

But I hope I'm dreaming this.

Please God let this be a nightmare.

Let this all be a nightmare...

You believe in God?

I don't even have that to fall back on.

I suggest you believe in me, Nikopol...

Do I have a choice?

I'm afraid not.

Now, rise and walk.

I've relinquished control, Nikopol,
