Murdoch Mysteries: Curse of the Lost Pharaohs - Season 1

Detective Crabtree and Detective Murdoch investigate the mysterious and unexplained deaths of seven local Egyptologists. Julia discovers that the seven people died of spores.

Crabtree and Murdoch discover a hieroglyphic journal next to the Mummy's latest victim and use it to decode a secret message that reveals their very lives are in danger. The mummy is known only as Sekhmet also known as the Egyptian Goddess of Retribution. Queen Victoria is planning a secret visit.

Brackenreid arrives in the nick of time to save Crabtree and Murdoch from the clutches of the Mummy, which they discover is more human than they first thought. Unfortunately, the man is poisoned and they cannot question him. Dried mud on the dead mans boots come from Niagara Falls. The team sails the Clarissa to Niagara Falls but have to abandon the ship via lifeboat because they are attacked by Sekhmets henchmen.

Sekhmets henchmen fire cannon balls and George is hit. He wakes up to find up that he is the only survivor, he assumes the rest were kidnapped by Sekhmets men. Suddenly Murdoch arrives glad to see that George is alive. However, Julia and Brackenreid were kidnapped.

George and Murdoch make it to the nearest police station. While talking to the Chief, the lights go out and the Chief is killed by mechanical scarabs. Murdoch rigs a flame thrower and kills the scarabs before they can kill George and him. They are met by many thugs waiting for them.

Sanura takes George and Murdoch to Niagara Falls as she is familiar with the area. They find the underground lair of Sekhmet. The odd amulet found on the dead man is the key to enter the lair.

George and Murdoch are thrown into jail by the thugs. While in jail, they hear Brackenreids voice. Sanura is a descendant of the pharaohs and wants her inheritance back.

Queen Victoria was to arrive for her secret visit without realizing what awaited her. Murdoch uses their watches to escape their cells. They are greeted by two thugs. When the lights go out, Brackenreid and Julia dispose of the thugs. They get back on the Clarissa and sail back to Toronto.

Their arrival is expected and the Clarissa is destroyed. George is kidnapped by Sekhmet. Sekhmet tells him that his friends are dead and so is the Queen. Sanura returns to apologize to George and help him. But Sekhmet catches her and they find out that he is very much human. Sekhmet turns out to be Sanura's father whom she thought was dead.

Pierre Lenoir wants to avenge his wife's (Sanura's mother) death by the British Empire. He tries to kill George but Sanura leaps in front of George and saves his life, but loses hers. As she dies, Sanura gives George some numbers but he does not know what they mean.

Meanwhile, Brackenreid, Julia, and Murdoch warn the Queen. George arrives and they devise a plan to protect the Queen. Julia is to take the Queen to the vault, Brackenreid to fight the thugs, and George and Murdoch to find the bio-cannon (the source of the deadly spores). Pierre Lenoir ("Sekhmet") shows up.

Murdoch fights Sekhmet and George tries to disarm the bio-cannon; the numbers Sanura gave George are the combination to the lock on the cannon. Despite Georges best efforts, the cannon explodes.

Cops and soldiers from all over rush to the bank to see what happened. Fortunately the spore canisters were disconnected at the last moment, so the deadly spores were not released. But Pierre Lenoir has vanished. The Queen offers the team positions as private security force for Buckingham Palace. They decline.
