- The what, sir?
- The G'tach.
The ten curses visited
upon the Pharaohs before Exodus.
- Here, I'll show you.
- Thank you, sir.
They were all ancient maledictions.
Solemn curses, anathemas,
wished upon the Pharaohs
for keeping the Israelites in bondage.
Ah, here it is.
But all this would just be myth,
of course, sir?
- Oh, I think not.
- No?
though so distant now as to seem a myth.
I see. What form
would the curses take, sir?
Oh, such as the curse of boils, of bats...
- Frogs?
- Frogs, yes. And the curse of blood...
I see, sir, yes...
These ten curses -
would they follow any particular order?
That is a point Talmudic scholars
have debated for generations.
But there is no doubt that the classical
tradition is the curse of boils,
bats, frogs, the curse of blood,
the curse of rats,
hail, of beasts, the locusts of course...
the death of the first-born,
and then, finally, of darkness.
- Darkness, Rabbi?
- Yes.
The final curse upon the land.
To end for ever the sleep of man.
My love...
I alone remain
to bring delivery of your pain.
Severed, my darling,
too quickly from this life
of fires drawn and of memories met.
I shall hold our two hearts again
in single time.
I have prepared a little mathematical
equation for you, Inspector.
These files represent
all of the surgical cases
on which I have served
over a decade - some 1200.
As you know, modern surgery
is all a matter of teamwork,
sometimes involving a dozen or more
people - interns, residents, specialists...
Quite so, sir.
Now, ruling out all the cases
that are over five years old -
the year that Dr Dunwoody, our bat victim,
resumed his practice in London -
that leaves us 37 cases on which I worked
with any two of the four now-dead men.
but only one...
just one case...
where I worked with all of them.
"Victoria Regina Phi-bes."
I think they called it Phibes.
"Victoria Regina Phibes.
Born November 27th, 1893,
married, no children.
Diagnosis:
immediate radical resection."- Well, what happened?
- We were too late.
Nine killed you.
Nine shall die,
and be returned your loss.
Nine times nine.
Nine killed you.
Nine shall die.
Nine eternities in doom!
- Very attractive.
- Quite beautiful.
A strange presence, even in death.
- And the husband?
- Dr Anton Phibes.
He was in Switzerland. We cabled him.
But, as he raced back, his car went off
the cliff and he was burned to death.
Are you quite sure of that, sir?
I know it must be
but they were interred at the same time
