<<<<<< SALVAGE RIGHTS

EGYPTIAN COAST, ALEXANDRIA - CUSTOMS PATROL

EXT. EGYPTIAN COAST – ALEXANDRIA – SUNSET
The charter vessel gently rocks, its silhouette ambered against the dying light.

SAFIYA SABUKA climbs onboard, shaking salt from her hair, dripping, flushed with adrenaline. Then—MOTOR HUM. Another vessel approaches stealthily on their leeward side.

EGYPTIAN CUSTOMS PATROL BOAT looms beside them.

Safiya whips around, eyes sharp.

SAFIYA (whirls around) 

We’ve got company.

A sleek Egyptian customs vessel pulls alongside. Two OFFICERS shine torches through the cabin, eyes scanning the rear deck.

Safiya signals: Panama, stay submerged. Lower the payload. She gestures subtly to MUSA — play along.

Musa surfaces. Safiya bursts into playful laughter and darts across the deck. Musa chases, his grin broad and complicit.

The customs officers climb aboard, momentarily bewildered.

INT. DIVE BOAT – MOMENTS LATER

Two CUSTOMS OFFICERS scan the deck with torches. One steps forward.

CUSTOMS OFFICER #1 
What are you doing here?

SAFIYA 
Treasure hunting, of course. But mostly... enjoying the view.

She unzips her wetsuit, theatrically playful, teasing. Panama stays submerged, airbag deflated beneath the waves with the sarcophagus just below visibility.

Safiya strips off the wetsuit in full view — smiling, distracting. Her form glistens from the dive. The officers freeze. The dusk light casts her figure in soft silhouette. Musa ducks into the cabin.

CUSTOMS OFFICER #2 (stammering) 
Find anything?

SAFIYA 
Sand... lovely sea life. Some dazzling fish. Just sightseeing.

She towels herself slowly, her movements hypnotic, her hair cascading. The customs officers glance, transfixed, yet unsure. Musa reappears, dressed and composed.

Wind rises. Waves slap against the hull.

CUSTOMS OFFICER #1 
You should head to harbor. Weather’s turning.

SAFIYA 
Already packed, heading back, officers.

She slides on jeans and a pullover. Musa raises anchor, fires up the diesels. The customs men leap back onboard their boat throttling away into the twilight, oblivious to what lies beneath.

A brush with disaster — deftly dodged.

EXT. COASTLINE – DUSK
The customs launch fades over the horizon.

SAFIYA dives in, jeans and jumper and all. Beneath the surface, PANAMA re-inflates the airbag.

MUSA secures the catch with a practiced hand. The sarcophagus and canopic chest rise like lost legends.

They haul the artifacts onboard with reverence, soft and silent. Together, they haul Cleopatra’s wooden sarcophagus and canopic chest onto the deck, reverent as undertakers of forgotten royalty.

SAFIYA 
Head for Taposiris. Now.

MUSA 
Copy that.

The boat arcs northwest, cloaked in twilight, skimming past headlands before veering west.

INT. DECK – MOMENTS LATER
Safiya towels off Cleopatra’s wooden housing, checks for signs of seepage. She covers the relics with canvas, ropes them down securely.

Then she disappears into the cabin to change, stripping off her wet clothes. This time — no audience.

INT. SPIRIT REALM – EDGE OF THE UNDERWORLD - COSMIC COASTLINE – NIGHT
ANUBIS and ISIS gaze at the mortal world through the shimmering veil. They stand watch.

ISIS 
If her housing opens too soon… the seals fail ....

ANUBIS 
The rebirth will falter.

Below, the mortal team races westward with history cradled on deck. The journey toward resurrection has begun — but danger still ripples through each moment.

INT. DECK – DIVE VESSEL – NIGHT
Lights glimmer. Safiya and Musa work in silence. Cleopatra’s vessel, hoisted and sealed, lies between them. The air thickens.

SAFIYA (softly, to herself) 
Nearly there, my queen.

The opening is imminent. And the world, it seems, holds its breath.
