Ardeth Bay [narrating]
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 that 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.

Ardeth Bay Wherever this man is, your wife will surely be.
Hey, I know him. He's the curator. He works at the British Museum.

If I were to say to you that, "I am a stranger traveling from the East, seeking that which is lost"...
... Then I would reply that, "I am a stranger traveling from the West, it is I whom you seek." How did you...?
Ardeth Bay Then it is true. You have the sacred mark.
What, that? No, that got slapped on me when I was in an orphanage in Cairo.
Ardeth Bay That mark means you are a protector of man. A warrior for God. A Medjai.
I'm sorry. You've got the wrong guy.
