I Spy a Mummy/Transcript

Ingrid Bjorn: , you've been going from success to success, but we still need to find the true identity of Chief Ripley's killer!

Ingrid: Thanks to you, we know that Chief Ripley's killer is operating under a code name: The Sword. And that they have ties to SOMBRA!

Ingrid: We still don't know who or what SOMBRA is, but we do know that The Sword is operating in Egypt.

Jack: If we're going to Egypt, we are DEFINITELY going into a pyramid!

Ingrid: Or you could do your job and keep your eyes peeled for The Sword, Archer!

Jack: Never fear, Ingrid. Between me and , The Sword is as good as in jail.

Ingrid: , would you ensure that Archer doesn't break any precious antiquities with his ego in that tomb?

Chapter 1
Investigate Tomb.

Jack Archer: Check it out, ! I'm walking like an Egyptian! And so's this mummy!

Jack: Wait, you're right! Mummies don't have fresh blood coming out of them! This guy is newly dead!

Jack: Pretty clear he didn't mummify himself... Was someone just trying to hide his body or was he some kind of sick experiment?

Jack: Were there any clues in this tomb about the identity of this guy? And why someone wanted to mummify him?

Jack: A bunch of broken alabaster? If you think piecing that together will help, I can support that!

Jack: Look at this beautiful golden ankh! With blood on it... Do you think the killer knocked out the victim with the ankh? A sample of that blood might tell us, !

Jack: Here's hoping that these clues can help us find out who this mummy is!

Examine Broken Pieces.

Jack: So the broken alabaster from the tomb is a plaque? It reads: "Tomb of Hotepsekhemwy", that's a mouthful...

Jack: It also reads: "In case of desecration, call Zarah Salah of the Ministry of Antiquities"...

Jack: I think a murder counts as a desecration, don't you? Let's call Zarah Salah over for a chat. Maybe she'll know who the victim is!

Talk to Zarah Salah about the tomb desecration.

Jack: Ms Salah, the tomb of Hopet... Hotepk... Hotepsekhemwy was desecrated by a murder today. Do you recognize the victim?

Zarah: That's Afif Wahab, he sells fruit to visitors by the Nile! But peddlers aren't allowed inside the tombs!

Jack: A fruit vendor?! Um... Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to hurt Mr Wahab?

Zarah: Not really. He was a very simple man. I can't imagine him having enemies... except...

Zarah: Well, there had been some trouble between him and another vendor, but I don't know much about it. You might want to ask around...

Zarah: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a million phone calls to make. When do you think the Bureau will release the crime scene?

Jack: Once   catches the killer, Ms Salah. We'll be in touch. We may have follow-up questions.

(After talking to Zarah Salah) 

Jack: So our mummy was just a fruit vendor?!

Jack: ... I hate to say it, but do we have time for this case? I mean, we're supposed to be looking for The Sword, not solving local homicides!

Jack: Alright, I admit mummifying a fruit vendor is a little odd... You think there could be more to Afif than Ms Salah claims?

Jack: You're right, it's up to us to find out! And yes, if Afif worked along the Nile, it's a good place to start! Let's go!

Investigate Nile River.

Jack: You found a wanted flyer with the victim's face on it?

Jack: The message says: "WANTED: FAIR FRUIT PRICES!" Was this the victim's advertising? That can't be a marketing gimmick! The flyer also says: "BAD MAN".

Jack: No signature... Maybe whoever put this flyer up left fingerprints... I'll get the dusting kit out!

Jack: And you found a photo of the victim, too? But who is this older woman with him? They don't look related... Think you can find a match in the database?

Jack: There must be more to Afif than meets the eye, ... Why would a humble fruit vendor end up mummified?!

Examine Flyer.

Jack: Those are some beautiful fingerprints you dusted on that flyer, ! Elliot will find a match for sure!

Examine Photograph.

Jack: Did you find a match for the woman next to the victim in that photo, ?

Jack: Ellen Redfern... Her file lists er as an archaeologist. It looks like she comes to Egypt at least once a year... And this photo looks recent!

Jack: Looks like she and the victim were close... Let's see what this Ellen Redfern has to say about our victim, !

Ask Ellen Redfern about her ties to the victim.

Jack: Ms Redfern,   found this photo of you and Afif Wahab. Do you always get chummy with people who sell you produce?

Ellen: Oh, lovely Afif! I watched him grow up! I've been coming to Egypt for over 30 years, for my research.

Ellen: Back then he was just a mischievous little boy, but he brought out something maternal in me. We've kept in touch ever since. I always buy my fruit from him!

Ellen: Although... lately Afif's been terrified... He's convinced that someone's following him...

Jack: Whoever it was may have caught up with Afif, Ms Redfern. Your friend was found murdered today.

Ellen: NO! And I told him to stop being so paranoid! I should have believed him!

Jack: Please stick around, Ms Redfern.   may have more questions as our investigation unfolds.

Examine Golden Ankh.

Jack: Got the blood sample we need from the ankh you found on the crime scene, <Name>? Let's get it to Lars!
