1:00And now, Dr. Watson, what about this adventure of the ancient Queen? Well, Mr. Harris, as I recall, it took place in the spring of 1896, and properly speaking, it began not on our own Green Island, but on the sun-based, sandy waste of the Lord with in this area with Sir Edward Morkross, the imminent British archaeologist and long-soft the ancient mysteries of the pharaoh. Then one day, near a place called L.I.A.P. on the lower Nile, he broke into a hidden underground tomb, crisscrossed with dark and dust-joke passageways, bloodying with the silence of centuries. And then Sir Edward and his assistant smile left the rest of the excavation spotter and pushed forward into the most remote section of the subterranean tomb. It's just Sir Edward, it's almost impossible to breathe, yes, sir.

2:02It's a accumulation of some 3,000 under-turb years. I don't like it, sir. We've never gone this deep before. I don't know, I've got a feeling we are not alone here. Oh, rubbish. Only being person is entered this tomb with centuries. Perhaps up ahead we may... Slyth, yes, sir. Hold that length and higher. I think I see Slyth. Slyth, Slyth, you've found it. No, come on, let's have a closer look. Looks Slyth, I have a bit of a sense of relief on the walls. The loot is but columns. The green stone beetle. The sacred hocks of Horace, loyalty, 19th dynasty, in the period of Ramesis, the perro. And here, here's a stone money case, Sir Sarkovagas. Oh, George, it must be this. Covers may help me. It's porcelain, but this stone coffin cover...

3:06Yes, sir. I'll get under it with the co-baster. It's opening, sir. Slyth. Look. Good Lord, it's a queen. Yes, Slyth. The queen of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Ramesis, the second. I've been looking for her for years. Years. Now I've found her. We'll take her back to London, put her on exhibit in the British Museum. Will his excellency arm had been allowed this raid with arm had been merely the kiddie's agent for archaeological matters. I have a directive from the crown, from Buckingham Palace itself. Oh, look at her smile. Lion there in the money case. Looks almost alive, doesn't he? Yes, sir Edward. It almost seems like a sacrilege to this turban. He wear thunder. Sir Edward, what was that?

4:06Voice. Wait from somewhere in the tomb. Where even the turban of the temple, violators of the tomb, let me then sleep. Sir Edward, listen. Beware, Deskotreikor. Take die file case from the queen of Ramesis. Go. Leave this tomb and never refer to her. Remove the noble one from her sacred sleep. And ye who shall sleep, be sleep of her. Yes, or come to me or ye shall die. So you intend to take the money of the queen of Ramesis back to London, Sir Edward? Yes, your Excellency. I plan to bring her directly to the British Museum. As foreign minister for his Royal Highness the KP, I do not advise him. What do you mean? You told me about the voice in the tomb Sir Edward.

5:08You have been warned? Yes, sir. Yes, your Excellency. I know the legend. It's supposed to be a phonetical Egyptian sect called the Asciraus of the Sun, devoted to the protection of the sacred spirit to the Royal Dead. You are well informed, Sir Edward. Of course, it's all right. If you are rubbish, I heard a voice. Yes, but I'm sure it came from one of the Egyptians in my part, as somewhat in the tunnel. Probably tried to frighten us a ways so that he could rob the mummikase of its crisis-relics at will. Are you still insisting transporting the money to the British Museum? I do. Very well. You have royal authority and I cannot refuse you. However, there are a few details I must insist upon. Yes. The mummikase must remain sealed and placed under heavy guard for the entire voice. And I myself will go along to see that this restless treasure of Egypt arrives safely at its destination.

6:14Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson. Now you have the background of the story from his Excellency here on my bay and myself. We came directly to your quarters here at Baker Street as soon as we saw that our coffers safely delivered to the museum. I see. We felt that this was a matter far beyond the province of the official police. So Edward here insisted that you would be only man in the empire capable of coping with this problem, Mr. Holmes. In that assumption, your Excellency is an entirely correct. And I must say that I find your account of the incident in the tomb quite fascinating. You Edward, do you think this phonetical cult may strike soon? It has already struck Dr. Watson. Do I understand you to say that Edward the Fee Society has taken its first victim? Yes, Mr. Holmes. Yes. My assistant's smile. He vanished on the ship on our third day out. We never saw him again. The duet you said. Interesting, Edward. Very. Your Excellency. Yes, Mr. Holmes. What is your opinion of the secret cult devoted to the protection of Egypt's ancient tombs?

7:15Mr. Holmes, I am what you call modern. I was educated at Oxford and I know the views of the Western world on these legends. I am not the superstitious man myself, but I have a feeling this cult does exist. When you think it is dangerous, must be taken seriously. Yes, Dr. Watson. I have repeatedly suggested to Sir Edward here that the only safe course is to restore the mummy of the relative queen back to its original resting place and seal the tomb. Send the Queen of Remesys back to Egypt. No, your Excellency. This is the greatest discovery of my career. As you wish, Sir Edward. I must warn you, however, that I, as well as you, are in acute danger of death. After all, I have been an accessory to certain the mummy out of Egypt.

The window paying what's in the scuffing smash. There's someone through an object through it. Pick what's in the window. See anyone on the street below? No, I thought I saw a shadow turn the corner, but I couldn't be sure.

9:17Mr. Holmes, talk to what? Here's the object that broke your window. It's... it's terrible. Yes, a green stone beetle. And there's a note attached to one of the claws. Allow me to examine the note shot, excellent, here. Hmm. They should hold the door just stand there, but the devil doesn't say it. They were, sir Edward, you have been warned. Your time will come and soon, for he who disfails the two mother-farrows, he who violates their eternal rest, dies. Come in. Oh, good evening, Holmes. Good evening, Dr. Forsyth. Let me see. Your own duty as guard here at the museum tonight, are you not? Yes, sir. Holmes, as director of the British Museum, I must emphasize the fact that you have a special responsibility tonight. Yes, sir.

10:17So the Edward Norcrosses just brought us a new sarcophagus from Egypt. It contains the ancient queen of ramacies and his priceless, priceless. I want you to keep a special eye on it tonight. You follow me, Holmes? Well, right, sir. I won't let you down and be frightened along. There's any good, Holmes. You'll find the mummeteid just below the massive granite statue of ramacies in the Egyptian central saloon between the galleries. Good night, Holmes. Good night, Dr. Forsyth. I say, Holmes. Yes, sir. Where the devil will we go? After Sir Edward's nomad left our room, he rushed me out in the street. I'd like to know. That's what's wrong. We're going to the home of my good friend, Dr. Yustis Forsyth, director of the British Museum. Indeed, why? It's past closing time at the museum. But I hope I can induce Dr. Forsyth to allow us a special showing of her ancient majesty, the Queen of Ramsey. Holmes, surely you don't believe that. What's the line prepared for anything at this point? We're dealing with a mystic here, with a group of fanatics who will stop at nothing. I've instructed Sir Edward to boast his doors and lock his windows.

11:18But I fear it may not be enough. What do you mean, Holmes? I mean that Sir Edward's been very grave danger. Unless I underestimate the strange society of the sun, other lives will be a thick before this night's done. Hello? Hello? Who's there? Who's there near that moment? Wait up. I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you. Wait up. Good or small, I thought someone was lurking around that moment, case of the ramsey's queen. No. No. No. Ah!

12:24You say all entrance and doors to the museum are locked, Doctor Fortan? Yes, Mr Holmes. Locked and voted. Everything but the main entrance which I just unlocked with my own team. And the museum guard is watching that money case. Yes, a man named Holmes. But the guy of Job Edward I must say. Where did you start with this moment? In the affrient transit spot room. In the moment we shall pass through the North Gallery into the Egyptian Central Saloon. Meet the home I still don't understand the reason for this extraordinary visit to the museum tonight. Murder, Doctor Fortan? Murder? Yes, and I only hope we're in time to... Holmes, good lord, what was that? Follow me for further. Yes. And here we are. The Egyptian Central Saloon. Yes, there's Joseph Dahl here. Quick, Doctor, the match. Yes, there. Here you are, hello. Here's the massive granite statue of Granite's the second of a money case of the queen at its feet.

13:24Holmes, good lord. Just as I've feared, what's new at two late? My Holmes. Hob the guard. He's covered with blood. Yes, please. Yes, fucking the head by a tremendous glow. I... What's the look? Up at the statue of Granite's the second. Note the clenched granite that... Holmes, good heavens, the statue's twisted. It's made with blood. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. I'm not... Beware. I bet. What's on earth is that? The so-called voice of Granite is apparent there. He wear his indiscerberus of the dead. Violators of the tomb. Let me dance, sleep. Or can unto me or he shall die. Dr. Watson, so far it's been some adventure. Why, the thrills and chills are chasing themselves up and down my spine. This one's in a class by itself, Doc. Class by itself? Oh, you mean the American Indian for distinctive? Yes, that's just what I do, Maine. And you've chosen just the word I need when it comes to clipper-crack pose, Doctor.

14:25Distinctive. Right now, at the friendly independent store in your community, the itself is a little bit more than the original. And for the savings you'll pocket, you can flank the great clipper-crack plan. In a typically American way, more than 1200 of this country's finest independent stores from coast to coast, stores you can trust, have merged their buying power to reduce fabric, production and distribution costs to an absolute minimum. And for the savings you'll pocket, you can flank the great clipper-crack plan. In a typically American way, more than 1200 of this country's finest independent stores from coast to coast, it's not an understanding here begging for railroad processing to bring around burying fourteen cents a day from a swamp in a thousand-foot-knot. And for the future, the estimated Cinematrade Island festival in which the other parts of Tonga took further than the actual delivery point. So, thank you to all the staff and the crew for making ittha free today.

15:25craft store in your city. These leading stores on the metropolitan area are proud to add their names to Clipper Craft in your suits, top coats and over coats. In Manhattan, John Wannermaker men's stores, Broadway at 8th and 67 Liberty Street, SACs 34th, Broadway at 34th, in Brooklyn, Abraham and Strauss. In Newark, New Jersey, Boulevard men's shop, Cresgan, Newark, and in Jamaica, the B&B Claude Shop, 164.08 Jamaica Avenue. And now Dr. Watson, you were relating to us the invention of the ancient queen. Yes, Mr. Harris, so I was. Holmes, Dr. Forsyth and I stood there transfixed as that voice from the tomb echoes through the vast area news in. Its poke, then it was skilled. Dr. Forsyth illuminated one of the gas tender liars, and is the flickering flame played over the massive statue with a blood stain fist. We seem to feel a living presence in the room.

16:26Mr. Holmes, yes, Dr. Forsyth. That voice, that eerie voice, it seemed to come from the Moss and Liam room next to the minibar gallery. Shouldn't we hurry up and pursue Holmes? No, what, we should be wasting our time. Yes, but the museum is a vast place, what, and as you well know, consisting of whole series of special rooms that echoing voice could have come from anywhere. It's the home! Dr. Forsyth! Home, someone's coming. Yes. I see a man coming in to Holmes to see him. Ah, yes, the entrance to the minibar gallery. You missed the home! Why is this exit, sir? I'm in bed! Mr. Holmes, I came down to the museum to pay my respects to Dr. Forsyth here and make arrangements for the exhibition of the mummy case. I didn't realize the museum was closed, then I saw you going to the front door, heard a scream, and then... And afraid we're all a little late, your excellent, there. I see that now. The society of the sun. They stuck again. The statue of Remesynes seems to have struck this time your ex-husband there.

17:27If you just look at the fist. Ah, glad on the fist. The pharaoh's fighting in wrath, in revenge for the destoration of his queen. I cannot accept that observation, your excellent fear. Massive statues of red granites such as this one would find it very difficult to move. The killers smeared the fist with a blood of his victim to heighten the terror. Mr. Holmes, this is a terrible tragedy, terrible! There must be some course we can take quite, Dr. Forsyth. We can begin where logic dictates. With a stone coffin and the mummy of her majesty, the queen. What's in, you take that end of a stone coffin? I'll take this. Quite heavy. Do you mean you're going to over the cover of the mummy case home? I am indeed. Mr. Holmes, it is dangerous. Quite, but entirely necessary and a ruthless take. Moreover the mummy case has already been opened. You will note the seal is broken. By Joe, Mr. Holmes it is. Forcibly, Dr. Forsyth. Now then Watson, lift the rope.

18:31Well gentlemen, there she is. The queen of the great pharaoh, Remesys II, in a funeral shroud of bandages. Good heavens, her. She looks alive. A secret last with my ancestors, Dr. Watson. The art of human preservation for thousands of years. A one-moment year, I think. Yes, Mr. Holmes. A most unusual money, this. Look closely at that portion of bandage just over the heart. What about it, Holmes? It's apparently been ripped open for some reason. And then re-sown with modern thread. Mr. Holmes, you're right. I usually am, Dr. Forsyth. Moreover there seems to be a cavity under that section of bandage. Note as I press my finger upon it, it yields to the touch. Hi. Your Excellency. Yes, Mr. Holmes. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the queen of Remesys has given a rare and invisible gift by the son, God, Ra. As one of the foremost Egyptologists in the world, have you ever heard of this legend? No. No, I have not. You are quite sure.

19:31I am positive, Mr. Holmes. Why do you ask? Many an inherent curiosity, Your Excellency, are perhaps a positive fit. A positive fit, for facts. Come what soon will be off. Where to have? Lakers street, my dear Watson Baker street. To enjoy a quiet pipe and a bit of good reading. Holmes, how the devil can you sit in that chair and read some obscure and dusty volume while these fanatication? Tations. I merely try to resolve a point of scholarship. This obscure and dusty volume, as you've so it reverently called it, happens to be a rare addition of the journal of Egyptian mythology from the first dynasty to the middle empire. I can't say I'm impressed, Holmes. What is it, Holmes? I found it. I found it. You found what? I confess, Holmes. I'm entirely confused. Holmes is a coach drawing up to the curve. Obviously, Watson, I can hear it quite cleanly through the open window. There's a man coming into the building. I think it's so in with knock-cross. For anyway, Watson, I instructed him to stay in his room behind Bolton Key, the man's in great danger.

20:34He's coming upstairs, huh? Holmes, good heavens. Quick Watson to the stairs. How is it, his cell-edmundies? He's right at the bottom of the stairs. He...he's dead. Quite. But a crooked knife in his back and a note in his hand. That's examining Watson. Holmes, what does it say? My dear sir Edward, I have had the good fortune to obtain a strong lead on the Egyptian conspirators, but I require your immediate presence at Baker's feet for the purpose of information. You may have no fear of leaving your quarters now. I assure you all at last is safe. Signed, Holmes. Uh-huh. So that's how they lure Sir Edward from his room's homes. They forged your hand right here. Watson, I believe Armand Bay mentioned that he'd taken a suite at the Savoy. Yes, sir, as he did. The net's hurry off and see his excellency at once. Before it too late.

21:43Your excellency. This isn't to be anyone in hope. But, your Holmes, he's left his door and left, you know. Good lord. Look at this room. Yes. A bit disorderly, isn't it Watson? Disorderly. We turned upside down. Lamps were smashed to furniture door. Obviously, signs of death struggle. Hello, what's this? What's what? It seems that his excellency was preparing for a long journey after having only this evening arrived from one. Uh-huh, Watson, look here on the table. Seems to be a boat timetable of some kind. For some reason he's returning to Egypt post-haste. On the contrary, my dear fellow, this happens to be the timetable of the Lina Katenia. And the Katenia leaves Liverpool tomorrow at noon for America. For America? How dare you all this just make sense? It makes very good sense, Watson. The intention is an activity to his excellency. Armand Bay, I'm crystal careful, you know. Like... Uh-huh, but this... There's only a towel filled over the bed. Use your eyes, man. Observe closely. You see this brown and sticky stain on the corner of this towel? There's a hose. I see it now.

22:43But what is it? That stain happens to be ribbing. It's in white. And it may interest you to know what pung that mums, and the 19th Egyptian dynasty, were embalmed in a coat of resin before they were bandaged in order to preserve them. Oh, now it's a... I should be very happy to resolve this entire adventure for you, Watson, or at least partially on our way to the British Museum. It's there I think that we should see the end of this blood-drenched affair. Well, you know, Holmes, at this moment, I'm completely beveled. I... I see no connection between these various events. Then let me enlighten you, Watson. First, his Excellency Ahmed Bay is a member of the secret society of the Sun. What? Now, let's reconstruct what's in it. Note that Ahmed Bay insisted on staying close to the mummy on its trip to England. Yes, yes, yes. It's reasonable to suppose then that Ahmed could have thrown smith overboard. The subsequent events made me sure of it. You remember we entered the museum with Dr. Forsyth through the main hall? Yes.

23:43Ahmed Bay was there before us. He called to us from the Nineveh Gallery on the opposite side, hence we were between him and the only available entrance. My jailhomes, you're right, Clayton. He assassinated the museum guard Hobbes. Then his greed got the better of it. He knew the Ruby of Ra was hidden in the mummy's heart under the bandages. The Ruby of Ra? Yes, Watson. According to the legend of which his Excellency denied all knowledge, the Sun God Ra had given the Queen of Ramesses a huge Ruby from his protective shield. It was placed in her heart to shield her from all harm. And Ahmed Bay dug it out and re-served the bandages. Exactly. I noticed a bit of thread on his trouser cuff when he approached us in the Egyptian central saloon. It was the same thread used to sell the mummy's bandages. Then that resin stayed on the towel. Obvious, Watson. The Ruby was covered with resin from the mummy. And later, Ahmed Bay tried to wipe the sticky residue off with the towel. He had planned to escape to America with the Ruby and sell it for a fortune. Is it while we're going to the museum now, Holmes? The Clause, Watson. I have a feeling that we shall encounter the end of our adventure there.

24:53Come, Watson. Let us again examine the occupant of this sarcophagus. Yes, sir. Give me a hand with his stone cover, will you? No, rather. Holmes, good heavens for mummy and the queen. It's gone. Quite. But in her place lies his excellent, the Ahmed Bay. The crooked knife in his back. But, thanks, they want to. The binge of a society of a son. Ahmed Bay tried to betray his own colleague in vain. This was Holmes I confess. I don't see how they can spirit a mummy out of the British museum. They can, Watson. And they have. This might be a fellow is not only a sinister and deadly organization, but extremely repulsive. I have no doubts that even now they're taking the ancient queen back to Egypt, where she will again be entombed away from crying for an eyes. And with her, the great Ruby of Rahu. Holmes, what shall we do? Do? Nothing, my dear Watson.

25:53We've done what we can. To pursue this mummy further, we'd only do further death and disaster. We're dealing in the realm of the mystic, almost the supernatural. To disturb the queen of ramities is, after all, a kind of vandalism. And I for one, am inclined to let the dead rest in peace. Well, Dr Watson, that was certainly an unforgettable adventure. Indeed it was, Mr Harris. And I might say here that as far as I know, the ancient queen of ramacies has never been found. And Holmes and I always took the view that, well, may she rest in peace. Well, and now, Dr Watson, what adventure will you have for us next week? Well next week, Mr Harris, I shall relate to you the adventure of the discordant bell. It concerns a creeping rope, a red smudge, a jangling refrain,
