[bunniefuu]

[♪♪]

[Echoes of children playing]

[Clock ticking]

[♪♪]

[Brakes squealing]

[Stammers in shock]

What are you thinking?

Check your cargo.

My cargo?

- There's nothing wrong
- with my cargo.

What's this all about?

[Dull thud]

Check...

Your cargo.

If you think you're trying

To hijack this load,

You're crazy.

Just check your cargo.

You stay right there.

How the heck...

Whoa!

[Heavy lid grinding]

[Sand hissing]

Soon, my prince.

Soon.

[Heavy lid scrapes shut]

Seth?

Today will be better.

New schools are hard.

All schools are hard.

I have a feeling

That very soon

- You're going to
- find someone

Who really gets you.

I just know it.

Okay, mom.

I have to work late.

- The museum got
- a new installation.

You'll see it

This afternoon.

What is it?

I'm going to let that

Be a surprise.

A surprise?

For my birthday?

- Well, it's not
- your birthday

Until tomorrow, seth.

At 9:12 p.m., To be exact.

That's when you were born.

9:12, 9:13,

- 2:00 In the morning,
- what's the difference?

It makes a great deal

Of difference.

[Sighs]

Sometimes, you're so weird.

[School bell rings]

Check it out,

It's indiana schmidt.

Okay, settle down.

I have some exciting news.

- I guess
- the archaeology association

- Has been getting
- my emails,

Because...

- And you are not
- going to believe this...

Be still my beating heart...

The mummy exhibit is here.

- It-it's at
- the pineville museum,

- And we are getting
- a special sneak preview

Before it's open to the public.

[Sarcastically] lucky us.

[Teacher, sincerely]: well,

This is what I was thinking.

- We weren't even on
- the original itinerary,

- But I guess after they saw
- my credentials,

As the acting president

Of the egyptology fan club,

- And museum volunteer
- of the month,

They've decided to include us.

No need to thank me.

Oh, don't worry, we won't.

[Students giggling]

What was that, sorry?

Beg your pardon?

Nothing else?

[♪♪]

This exhibit documents

The life of the young pharaoh.

He was just a boy,

- k*lled by assassins
- on his 12th birthday.

- And he had
- a twin brother,

- Who escaped,
- but was never found.

You certainly know

Your ancient egypt.

- The boy pharaoh was
- the same age as all of you.

Imagine ruling an empire,

- And having all these adults
- trying to k*ll you.

Welcome, everyone!

Ah, well, the exhibit

Looks fabulous.

- Thanks for
- having us early.

My pleasure.

- If you go upstairs
- to the exhibition hall,

- You will be able to see
- a replica

Of the pharaoh's tomb.

Oh, wow, thank you.

Have a good tour, kids.

Great.

- The mummy's loyal followers
- sacrificed their lives

So they could follow him

Into the afterlife.

- [Sarcastic student]:
- what a bunch of losers.

- The followers wanted
- to party with him

In the afterlife.

It was a good thing.

Wait, what's that,

A giant nose-picker?

Kind of.

After you die,

- They'd yank your brain out
- through your nostrils.

[Kids groan in disgust]

Is that a dog?

A jackal.

The priests

Wore jackal heads

- When preparing
- the dead bodies.

- How do you know
- all this?

He probably

Reads a lot.

Yeah, 'cause

He has no friends.

[Kids laugh and snigger]

[♪♪]

You appreciate

The beauty of these items.

Not many your age do.

They are obsessed only

With the pharaoh's flesh.

The mummy...

I am

Mr. Nebibi.

Hi.

Seth.

It is such a pleasure

To meet you, seth.

May I show you

Something?

Sure.

This way.

What happened to seth?

Who cares?

Seth, do you know why

This amulet was very precious

To the pharaoh?

He believed

- It would help his friends
- find him after death,

So he wouldn't be lonely.

You know about this.

Egypt's kind of

A hobby of mine.

He looks sad.

He was found alone,

- Separated from
- his loved ones.

Seth...

I'm wondering...

I am in need of

A student worker here.

Do you think you could be

Of assistance to me?

- It would be
- very important work

We would be doing...

Work that will

Change history...

Really?

[Gasps in fright]

What is it, young lady?

The mummy, its hand just moved!

In these surroundings,

It is easy to imagine

The magical

Or the macabre.

Go now

And rejoin

Your classmates.

We will see much

Of each other later.

Patience, my pharaoh...

Patience.

- I don't think
- you should help out

The guy at the museum.

You mean the curator?

Yeah, something weird

Is going on.

I mean, the guy

Gives me the creeps,

The way he looks at you.

Hmm....

Seth?

You okay?

You look like you're

A million miles away.

I was just thinking about

The ancient egyptians.

- They believed the world
- was created by ra,

Who had twins.

Divided,

- One makes the heaven
- and one the earth.

They can look at each other

All they want,

But they can never hang out,

Or the world would end.

Hey, phoebe,

Do you ever feel...

I don't know...

What?

Tell me.

I don't know...

Lonely, I guess?

You don't have to be.

Lonely, I mean.

It's all right.

I'm used to it.

[Voices chanting]

Albard jamyal alwah...

Ya raba albasar.

Batah sokar altiathara anbays.

Hnak atayat arkan...

Walayn alysara sbaath...

[Chanting echoes]

[Door opens]

[Card lock beeps]

[Chants resume, echoing]

[Groans sleepily]

You look tired.

You sleep okay?

I had a really weird dream

About the exhibit.

The images of that

Ancient world are powerful,

Aren't they?

I'll say.

[Sighing heavily]

[Gasps in fright]

The

Mummy! I saw it!

- It's okay, it's okay.
- Everything's okay...

Nothing's okay!

Where did this come from?

You don't remember?

The curator

Gave it to you.

You admired

The one at the museum,

And he gave you this replica

As a gift.

What?

No, he didn't.

Seth, really?

You don't remember?

Honest, I don't.

Oh, well,

Nothing to worry about.

I forget things

All the time.

So, after the brain

Was removed,

- The embalmers would make
- an incision

On the left side of the cadaver,

Made from a knife,

- Shaped of razor-sharp
- obsidian stone.

The handle, or hilt,

Would be bejeweled,

With local gems.

From that cut,

- The priest
- would remove the organs

And place them

Into canopic jars.

Like tupperware.

[Curator]: we need

All the elements

- Necessary for happiness
- in the afterlife.

- [Teacher continues, unaware]:
- uh, can anyone tell me

What work contained

The ritual spells...

You will live forever,

A beloved ruler,

And you will never,

Ever be alone.

Seth...

Seth?

Seth!

So you can't tell me

- What work contains
- the ritual spells

- To send the deceased
- into the afterlife?

Ow!

Okay, what now?

Can I go to the restroom?

Yup. Yup, by all means.

Please-please do.

- Seth, why didn't you
- come back to class?

Phoebe...

I feel what the mummy feels.

What do you mean?

Look.

At what?

What am I supposed to

Be looking at?

This is so weird.

There was a...

Never mind.

I'll show you something weird.

After you left,

- Mr. Schmidt handed out
- these exhibit cards.

The high priest.

Who does he look like?

From the museum.

Call me crazy,

- But I think this guy
- in the picture

Is mr. Nebibi.

But that's impossible.

The high priest lived

Over 3,000 years ago.

Mom!

Mom, you gotta see this!

Mom?

Wait here.

Mom!

Mom?

Mom!

There you are.

It is time.

[Hissing]

Seth!

Seth?

Seth!

- Seth! What's wrong with him?
- Seth! Seth!

[Curator]:

The sacred hour is upon us.

We must hurry,

Before it's too late!

[Door rattling]

[Curator chanting spells]

[Chanting continues]

Mom?

She is not your mother, seti.

She never was.

Please.

Let me out of here...

Hush, seti...

My name is seth!

Your name is seti.

With me as

Your guardian...

- You were sent
- into the future

To be reborn as a modern boy

Because you could not

Be protected

Against the assassins.

Let go of your fear

And think,

Have you never felt

That your life was incomplete?

That you... Yearned

To be reunited

With someone?

Yes.

That someone awaits.

[Vortex crackles]

My brother...

Brother, I've chased you

Across time.

[Gasps]

Seth!

No!

Phoebe, you'll ruin everything!

What are they doing to you?

It has been done.

Let the transition

To the afterlife begin.

No!

Yes! Don't

Interfere, phoebe.

- To spend eternity with
- my brother is my true destiny.

[Clock tower chimes]

At this very hour,

The twin pharaohs

Were born,

Two bodies,

Sharing one soul.

Seth!

[Sandstorm howling]

Let them

Reunite!

No! No, seth!

Seth?

Oh, seth...
