Five thousand years ago...

a fierce warrior known

as the Scorpion King...

led a great army on a campaign...

to conquer the known world.

After a vicious campaign

which lasted seven long years...

the Scorpion King and his army

were defeated...

and driven deep into

the sacred desert of Ahm Shere.

One by one, they slowly perished

Under the scorching sun...

until only the great warrior himself

was left alive.

Near death...

the Scorpion King made a pact

with the dark god Anubis...

that if Anubis

would spare his life...

and let him conquer his enemies...

he would give him his soul.

Anubis accepted his offer

And spared his life.

Anubis gave the Scorpion King

Command of his army...

and like an evil flood,

they washed away...

all that lay before them.

When his task was done...

Anubis forced the Scorpion King

to serve him for all time.

His army was returned

to the sands from whence they came...

where they wait, silently...

to be awakened once again.

Alex?

What were you thinking,

a mummy had come back to life?

Ill tell you a story some time.

What are you doing down here?

I told you to wait for us in the temple.

Its dangerous down here.

- But I saw your tattoo.

- You saw what?

On a wall by the entrance.

Theres a cartouche just like it.

With the pyramid and the eye...

and the two kings and everything.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Okay. Well, Ill be up to take

a look at that in a minute.

In the meantime, I want you

to wait for us up there.

Pick up your stuff,

and Ill see you up in the temple.

Go on.

And what should I do?

I dont know. Surprise me.

- Build a better mousetrap.

- Okay.

While your mother goes

and desecrates another tomb.

Go away.

- Those are poisonous, you know.

- Only if they bite you.

What was all that about?

Nothing.

Alex wanted to show me something.

I swear...

the kid gets more and more

like you every day.

You mean

more attractive, sweet...

and devilishly charming?

No, hes driving me crazy.

Now, where were we?

Hammer and chisel.

All right, all right!

Lets do it your way.

Thank you.

Ever since I had that dream...

this place is all

I can think about.

Ever since you had that dream,

I havent had a decent night of sleep.

I feel like Ive been here before.

I know Ive been here before.

Evy, nobodys been here before,

not in at least 3,000 years.

Except for these guys.

Then how do I seem to know

exactly where Im going?

Lets go.

Knock, knock. Anybody home?

You two check out that stuff,

see if its there.

Ill sort out the OConnells.

If you move that fast enough,

you can almost write your name.

I just had a vision.

It was like my dream,

but it was real.

It was like I was actually here

in ancient times.

Well, if you actually were here...

could you show me

how to open this thing?

Hold this.

- Now youre starting to scare me.

- Im starting to scare myself.

What is this?

Look at the state of this rubbish.

The Egyptians never had a clue.

Look at that stuff.

Its all chintz and stuff.

Look at that.

Cheap pottery, this.

Ancient rubbish.

Jacques,

somethings hit me head!

Shut up, Spivey.

This place is cursed.

We do not want to wake the gods.

Thats the emblem

of the Scorpion King.

Hes supposed to be pure myth.

No trace of him has ever been

found before. No artefacts.

No archival evidence.

- Lets open this.

- Evy, I dont know.

-I dont have a good feeling about this.

-Its only a chest.

No harm ever came

from opening a chest.

Right, and no harm ever came

from reading a book.

- Remember how that one went?

- Come on. We cant stop now.

Just remember,

I was the voice of reason here.

For once.

Rubbish.

Dreck. Chintz.

God, that hurt!

Hon? Lets do it your way.

The bracelet of Anubis.

Ill take care of this.

Oh, my God.

Its a bit late for that!

- Put it in your rucksack.

- Lets leave it here.

- Its a bit late for that!

- Whats it say?

""He who disturbs this bracelet...

shall drink from the Nile.``

That doesnt sound too bad.

Jacques is gonna make

a nice fillet out of you, my son.

Spivey! Jacques!

Lets get the hell out of here!

Come on.

This is bad, Evy.

- Weve had bad before.

- This is worse.

Mom? Dad?

I can explain everything.

The Book of the Dead gives life.

And the Book of the Living...

takes life away.

I thought that was my job.

Were getting close.

Did you acquire it?

Were getting very close.

We found him.

We found him! We found him!

Step aside there.

Out of the way.

Imhotep.

Its him. Its Imhotep.

Now we must raise

those that serve him.

Get out of my way.

Get out of the way.

Get out of my way

or Im gonna shoot you in the face.

He means it.

He shot someone before.

Give it to me.

The opportunity passed us by.

- We need that bracelet.

- We need it before it opens.

Enough.

My dear Hafez...

I told you

I should have handled it.

I did not want

your past history...

to cloud the issue.

Dont worry. We know where it is.

Well take care of it.

No, well take care of it.

I have a different chore

for you now.

Where is the bracelet?

Its on its way

to merry old London.

Then London is where we must go.

l think the bracelet

is some sort of guide...

to the lost oasis of Ahm Shere.

Evy, I know what youre thinking...

and the answers no.

We just got home.

Thats the beauty of it.

Were already packed.

Why dont you just give me

one good reason?

Its just an oasis...
