Overview
As Speed continues to get shot at on his way to the top of the pyramid, he sees his life flash before his eyes. He takes advantage of the opportunity to recap the story. Speed throws the homing robot at the airplane. The rope which is attached gets tangled in the propeller, causing the plane to crash. Meanwhile, Trixie is being lowered into the flames. Femur uses her as an example to encourage obedience among the slaves. Speed, realizing he is running out of time, attaches the statue to the homing robot, and sends it on its way. The statue arrives just as the shadow reaches the eye, but Femur adds a new rule, Speed had to arrive in person with the statue. Speed arrives shortly. Calcia (Cleopatra) decides to spare Speed and Trixie, but puts them into service in her slave corps. Spritle is heard announcing the presence of the queen. Calcia moves the treasure hunt to the ceremonial house built by Cleopatra's father, Petranius XIII. Obviously, Calcia is not the student of Egyptian history
