01x01 - The Eye of Horus

[bunniefuu]

Theodosia, come
take a look at this.

Is it another piece
of pottery, Dad?

- How did you know?
- Lucky guess, Mum.

Theo, my electric
torch is working!

In your face, Thomas Edison!

No, no, no, no!

- All right, Henry?
- Thanks.

You've invented fire. Amazing.

Now then, see these markings?

18th dynasty for sure.

The entrance to Haremhab's
tomb could be close.

So I think it could
be along here.

You see where this
old map lines up?

Hmm.

Well, there's no evidence of
any royal tombs over there.

There's nothing but
rock and old camel bone.

- Well, it's close by.
- I mean, mind if I check it out?

- Sure, go for it.
- Uh, well,

it could be dangerous,
she shouldn't go alone.

Alistair, she's 14.

Theo knows how to
look after herself.

Yeah. Thanks, Mum.

Well, be careful.

Make sure you take
plenty of water.

- And Henry!
- What?

- I'm not going with her.
- Absolutely no way.

Are you having fun yet?

Because that bird
thinks we're lunch.

That's a falcon,

and they're picky
about what they eat,

so you're totally safe.

- Oh, yeah? Look at me.
- I'm cooked to perfection.

What is that?

It's a cartouche!

I can't read the name, the
hieroglyphs are too worn.

- Do you know what this means?
- We can go home now?

No, it means that there's
a royal tomb near here.

It could be Haremhab.

Gotcha!

It would just be bits
of broken pottery.

- Who cares?
- I do care.

I'm searching this cave, Henry.

You can stay out here in
the heat if you want to.

Okay, okay, I'm coming.

And put that down.

Lamps are for losers.

- A few teething problems.
- You don't say.

Yeah, well, it took
Edison 10,000 goes

to invent the light bulb.

He must have brought
down a lot of tents.

Wow.

This royal tomb is amazing!

To the untrained eye
it looks just like a...

Like a boring old cave.

Well, they didn't just
build them at the entrance.

They'd dig a deep shaft
that led down into the...

The tomb.

That was easier than expected.

Looks like someone
got here before us.

Yeah, all these tombs were
robbed thousands of years ago.

Wow.

Look at this. It
all looks brand new.

Can't say the same
for old Haremhab here.

This isn't a royal
tomb. It's Amenemhab,

the minister of w*r
for Thutmose the Third.

He helped him win
loads of battles.

Their enemies even said
they had magical powers.

Ouch.

Oh, wow, look at this!

Hello, beautiful.

- Beautiful?
- Those eyes are creepy.

Ignore my brother.

Let's find you
somewhere less dusty.

Hey, look at this.

Poor Amenemhab.

They shouldn't have
done this to you.

Let's put you in
there for a second.

Whoa, treasure!

That's the Eye of Horus.

It's an amulet to protect
them in the afterlife.

It didn't do a very good job.

- D... did you see that?
- See what?

The weird floating hieroglyphs.

How hard did you bang your
head when we fell in here?

Forget it.

But just to be on
the safe side...

Don't tell me you believe in
all that stuff about curses?

Well, of course I don't.

I just don't want to damage
the important artifact.

- Yeah, right.
- Stop!

Theodosia.

Let me see that.

- Stop!
- What's wrong?

I saw something.

It was like a... like a dream.

Ancient Egypt. There...
there was a woman...

Nice try, Theo. I'm not
falling for one of your jokes.

- Earth to Henry.
- Do I look like I'm joking?

She looked royal.

She could have been a
Pharaoh's wife maybe.

Yeah. I believe you.

It's called concussion.
You're seeing things.

- Oh, no! Egyptian Cobra!
- They're deadly poisonous.

You can see the snake, right?

Yes, I can see the deadly snake!

- What do we do?
- Okay, just don't panic.

It can't get out of there.

You were saying?

Keep your eyes on the
snake, and slowly back away.

Now can we panic?

They should be back by now.

What is it?

Telegram.

I could have invented fire
in the time it's taking you

to get that useless
torch to work.

- Success!
- Now what have you got to say?

It's just there.

Why isn't it biting me?

'Cause it's picky
about what to eat?

- Oh, really?
- You're doing that joke now?

- Why not?
- It might be my last chance.

- It's the Eye of Horus.
- It's protecting us.

Don't be daft. There's no way.

There must be a way
out through this wall.

Yeah, that didn't work.

Wait a second.

This head of Anubis is hollow.

Don't! There could
be a snake in there.

Theo! Get out!

What... what do we do?

You're mean.

I try my best.

Slow down, Henry,
you're gonna choke.

Told you.

Wow, this is awesome.

Yeah, Theo said
when she touched it,

she saw some Pharaoh's wife.

Say what?

It was a joke! It was a joke.

Come on, we need to go off
to the royal tomb again.

I'm afraid we've
got some bad news.

Cairo has refused
to renew our permit.

They've shut down the dig.

Does this mean we're going home?

- That's right my boy.
- Next stop, London.

Oh, no!

How may I serve?

The Eye of Horus has been found.

Where, Master?

In the temple of Amenemhab.

The Eye of Horus
will show the way.

All hail Aapep.

Chaos is coming.

I have a job for you.

"- " Hammersmith and
City line goes electric!

Miracle of the modern age!"

"Hammersmith and City
line goes electric!

Miracle of the modern age!"

Let's go home on the
underground and check it out.

And risk losing you
down another tunnel?

I don't think so. I'm
getting in a carriage.

You're so old school, Dad.

He wishes he lived
3,000 years ago.

- Cabbie!
- Come on.

I'll buy you a miracle.

Cabbie!

Here, catch!

You see that ball?
It's a magic ball.

Doesn't look very magical.

'Cause I haven't said
the magic words yet.

- Cabbie?
- Abracadabra?

Quick, throw me the ball!

Before it disappears.

Just in the nick of time.

How... how did you do that?

Like I said, miss, it's magic.

Now let me show you my
favorite two-ball trick.

But it's not as impressive as
the famous four-ball trick!

You see, some say
it's only a trick,

but a true believer knows

there's more to this
world than meets the eye.

Wow. Okay, okay.

Well, now it's my
turn to do some magic.

Okay, close your eyes.

Go on, close them!

Wow, thank you, miss!

You've got the gift.

Maybe we could
start a double act.

Cabbie!

Let me show you another
one of my tricks.

- Yeah.
- Cabbie!

Stop! Thief! Let go of it.

- Get off! Get off!
- Give it to me.

Let go! I'm warning you, sir!

Get off! Go!

No, don't... don't touch that!

Let me see your hand.

- No!
- Hey, hey!

- Hey!
- Look where you're going.

Cheeky blighter was trying
to steal our luggage.

Did he take anything?

No, thanks to Theo.

I think you scared him off.

That's my girl.

Told you we should have
gone on the underground.

Well, we might have to

if we can't find
another carriage.

What?

Very good.

So good to be home.

I miss Egypt.

Well, we'll get a new dig permit

and go back, I promise.

Let me at least unpack

and have a cup of coffee first.

Ciao, Julius, did you miss me?

Good day, Sir William.

Greetings, Seti.
Come on, cheer up!

No touching the exhibits!

Oh, it's you.

Hello, Clive.

- Scared away all the visitors?
- Why, you cheeky little...

- Hello, Clive.
- Mr. And Mrs. Throckmorton!

What a wonderful
surprise! Welcome home!

- Thank you, Clive.
- Good to be back.

Did you have a good trip, sir?

- Excellent.
- Couldn't have gone better.

Right, time to
freshen up, I think.

Seems very quiet.

Could do with a few
more visitors, Clive.

I'm dead.

I'll take you back
one day. I promise.

I'm gonna name you Ra.

I hope you like your new home.

What?

- Theo!
- When will you learn to knock?

Never, it hurts my knuckles.

Unbelievable.

- What do you want?
- It's lame.

Mum says I can only go to
the arcade if you go with me.

- Sorry, no can do.
- I'm too busy.

- Oh, please.
- Look, it's either that

or help with the unpacking.

I'll get my coat.

- Hurry up, Theo.
- I'm coming, I'm coming.

- Hey, Artie, what's new?
- Hey.

Good news is, my dad retired
and put me in charge.

So I bought a load of new games,

and a ping pong table.

- Awesome.
- The bad news is

someone beat your
high score on Flicker.

What? No way!

Go get 'em, champ.

I wouldn't do that.

That's the hardest game in here.

Don't waste your money.

I should just give it to
you instead, is that right?

No, but that machine will
make your money disappear

- faster than I can.
- Oh, really?

Oh, yeah.

Come on!

Only a few more chances.

- Oh, come on.
- That's impossible.

Miss this one,

and you have to
tell me your name.

Yeah, I'm not sharing

personal information
with a stranger.

- I'm not a stranger.
- You've known me for hours.

- Okay, well, where's the ball?
- I've still got another go.

What is that?

Okay, how did you do that?

Ah! A magician never
reveals his tricks.

I'm Will. And you are?

How did you do that?

A gamer never
reveals her tricks.

- I'm sorry, I need to go.
- Hey!

- Henry!
- You didn't tell me your name.

Henry, I saw the thief
from the station.

We need to go, now!

I was in the middle of a game.

Oh, just hurry up, will you?

It can't have been the
thief from the station.

- It makes no sense.
- Well, yes it was.

I saw him with my own eyes.

Oh, yeah? Was he standing
next to a pharaoh's wife?

That's him.

Come on!

Dead end!

There's no way out.

- Get behind me.
- I'm fine, Henry.

What you running for?

Just another one of
Theo's little jokes.

Well, your parents
want you home for tea.

So stop wasting my
time and get a move on.

No, I really did see him.

Yeah, and I was about to
get my high score back.

Be careful with that!

I'm being careful.

Hence the gloves.

- Oh, the gloves.
- They're protecting you.

No, they're to
protect the artifact.

You should know that.

What, no, I mean...

You know the myths
about ancient Egyptians

putting curses on objects
so no one would touch them?

Mm-hmm.

Well, what if they
weren't myths?

What if they were true?

You're saying you think
this amulet is cursed?

No, of course not!

No, that would be crazy.

Come on. I'm just
messing with you.

I'm really tired. Time for bed.

Come here and give us a hug.

Ooh!

- Love you, Theo.
- Love you, Dad.

- You know what?
- It's been a long day,

I think we could all
do with an early night.

What do you think, Ra?

Is that good?

What?

Real fur!

Ra! Ra, wait!

Ra?

Where are you?

Have you seen a magical
cat go this way?

Or am I asleep and this is
just a really weird dream?

You again!

- Where is it?
- Where is the Eye of Horus?

Your hand! What is that?

- I must have the Eye.
- Give it to me!

- No, you can't have it.
- Now get out!

The Eye of Horus
will show the way.

- The magic's real.
- It wasn't a dream!

Drop the amulet!

Help... help me! Help me!

- Just drop it!
- I can't!

Wait, it isn't over!

I see you, Theodosia.

What on earth is going on?

- We heard shouting.
- There was a burglar.

- He tried to steal the amulet.
- Oh, good grief!

- Are you okay, honey?
- Yes.

Wait, Dad, don't touch it!

- Hey, calm down.
- You're okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- It's you I'm worried about.

I'm worried about you.

What have you done?
