02x01 - New Blood

[bunniefuu]

Hello? Remember me?
It's been a crazy year.

I found out I could do magic.

I fought against the Serpents
of Chaos with my friends.

And the god Aapep. So scary.

I even fell in love.

And so did my brother.

But Safiya had to go home
to Egypt, which is where all

these magical artefacts belong.

I'm working on it.

Along with this chest someone
sent me. It won't open.

And I wonder what's inside.

But first, Will and
I have a job to do.

Yep. This is it.

Another day,
another deadly tomb.

So far, we've survived
flames, floods and fire.

Yeah, I don't know. I've got
a bad feeling about this one.

I think you should
stay behind. No way!

I'm not letting you have
all the fun. Come on!

I can't believe
you just said that!

I hope this mummy won't be too
angry about her necklace, though!

It's dark in here.
Watch your step.

Look out!

You've got this, Theo.

No! What?

Tripwire.

Oh, thanks.

Duck!

ARROWS WHIZZ

Are you OK? That was close!

We should be at the
centre of the tomb.

Bingo.

OK, ready?

LOW RUMBLING, THEO GRUNTS

Queen Ahhotep.

I'm bringing back your bling!

ECHOEY VOICE: This good
deed will be remembered.

RUMBLING

You're welcome.

THEY LAUGH Yes!

Your hands are really hot.

Yeah. I don't know, it's
been happening lately.

Anyway. Look out!

{\an8}What's next on the list? Hey,
we could return your cat!

{\an8}Already did. He's back in
Amenemhab's tomb where he belongs.

{\an8}I do miss cuddling him,
though. Hey, you've got me now.

Meow!

I guess you'll have to do!

DISTANT RUMBLING

What are they doing up there?

That's it, Clive. Push.
Push it towards me.

But it's so heavy!
Just a little bit more!

Whoa!

Ah, there you are! Will,
are you staying for lunch?

I'm making that
stew that you like.

Oh, thanks, Mrs T,
but Sam needs my help

at the Penny Arcade. I'm still
teaching them how everything works.

I know. Magnificent, isn't it?

This once sailed down the Nile
carrying the great Pharaoh.

Ramses II.

Well, we don't know if
HE ever sailed on it.

Well, he must have.
That's a royal canopy!

Curse? With everything!
It's a ticking magic b*mb.

We have to stop it
before it goes off.

Hey, Dad.

It's a bit big for
us, don't you think?

You should send it
back. Send it back?!

We're lucky the Cairo
Museum loaned it to us.

For how long? A year.

In return for some
of our exhibits.

Hen arranged it.

Oh, I can't believe you're
really leaving tomorrow!

Well, it won't take too long to
get everything settled in Cairo,

and I'll be back in
a couple of weeks.

I'm sure you can all manage
for a bit without me.

RUMBLING

Ah, must be the new underground
line they're digging near here.

Bring the roof down
on us at this rate!

We need a spell to stop
this magic from spreading.

Sycamore seeds.

Check. Did you see Safiya?

Henry, not now.
Small statue of us?

Check. Did you see her? We were
in the Valley of the Queens,

that's miles away from Cairo.

Wing of a stag beetle? Check.
It's been over six months.

You have to stop pining
for her. I'm not pining.

I'm just missing
her as a friend.

How would I get to Cairo
through the car door?

Well, you'd have to link
to one there, but...

Henry, that's really dangerous.
Danger is my middle name.

I thought it was Alphonse!

RUMBLING

OK. We have to hurry before that
barge destroys the entire museum.

And, Henry, don't mess
with the car door.

You could end up anywhere.

I've been thinking. I've always
wanted to see the Cairo Museum.

So how about I come with you?

Oh, Henry, that would
be lovely. Awesome!

But it's too late
to get you a ticket.

So unless you want me to
sneak you aboard in here...!

That could work.

I don't think the museum
would be very impressed

if I arrived with a stowaway!

And this thing is
too full already.

It was worth a shot.

Is all this Cairo talk
really about Safiya?

What? No, of course not.

I just...

Forget I asked.

Oh, Henry, don't go.

Let's talk about this.

Oh, now, I can't wait for Mother
to see this! Her ladyship's back?

No, no, no, no. In fact, this
arrived in the post this morning.

She's still touring Egypt.

Mother's become
quite the adventurer.

Won't be back for months.

Oh, thank goodness!

I mean... Relax, Clive.

Her hearing's not that good.

Oh, look, look, look.

We're missing the support
post for the second rudder.

Maybe it fell off on the way
in. Should we take a quick look?

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

Hear me, Ancients. Mighty birds,

hold back this dark magic.

Let it float as harmless
as a sycamore seed.

Let it fly on the
wing of a stag beetle.

WIND WHIPS

Prince Ramses, we
must hold back.

It's too dangerous! No!
We'll keep searching.

I must find it before
it is too late.

Oh!

Oh, oh!

It's OK. I've got
you. What happened?

I saw Ramses on the barge.

He was our age, and
he could do magic.

What's going on with your hands?

FIZZING, THEO SQUEALS

How did you do that?

I think I need some air.

Good idea. Let's go.

No, I don't think
I should touch you.

What did you see?

It's like the magic that was
inside Ramses was leaking out.

You know, last night I was
writing a letter to Safiya,

and then suddenly
my hands got all hot

and the pen turned
into a flower.

That's not good.
Tell me about it!

Didn't Ramses live to be
an old guy? Yeah. Why?

It means he must have worked
out how to control his magic.

So can you.

Oh, that's true!

What would I do without you, eh?

FIZZING

Will? Are you OK?

Yeah!

Catch.

See that ball?
That's a magic ball.

Yeah, well, I'm not going
to fall for that one again.

You know, you did this trick
the first time we met, remember?

I think I'd remember
meeting you, Miss.

Come on, Will, stop messing
around! How do you know my name?

Will, it's not funny any more.

Weird! I'm usually
good with faces.

It's me. Theo.

I think you've got me
mixed up with someone else.

This was fun, but
I have to be going.

Remember this?

We found it on our first dig
in the Valley of the Kings.

Have you seen Henry? No.
Why? What's he broken now?

His heart. I think
he's missing Safiya.

Oh, he's young.
He'll get over it.

I'm worried about him.

It doesn't feel right
to be leaving now.

He's a boy!

He'd be obsessed with
someone else next week.

Or stamp collecting.

Mrs Throckmorton, I've catalogued
all the artefacts you're taking.

You're good to go.

Thank you, Clive.

Clive could go instead.

Yes. Yes, he could.

But you set this all up.

You'd be missing out on
an awfully big adventure.

Let me talk to Henry
first, and then I'll...

Then I'll decide.

Have you seen him? No.

Come on, you stupid door!

Open!

OK, I take it back.

You're not stupid.
You're a clever door.

A very clever door.
Cleverest door I know.

And I know a lot of doors.

So, look,

can you just please open
and take me to Safiya?

Anywhere near Cairo will do.

Well done, Henry, you're
now talking to a door!

You've officially lost it.

Why?

Why don't you just open?

Open, open!

This was a bad idea.

You'll never find my card.

Oh, really?

AUDIENCE CLAP

Who wants to see another trick?

Hi, Theo. Hey, Sam.

Do you know what's
going on with Will?

I asked him to clear the tables,
and he said he didn't work here.

Really? Yeah. He said that?

Pick a card. Any card.

I know this sounds strange,
but he does know that

you've taken over
from Artie, right?

No. He acted like
we'd never met.

And we were planning
the new menu yesterday.

I mean, what's going on?

SHE SIGHS

I think he's lost
some of his memory.

Like before he got this
job, before he met me.

Yeah. Right.

No, you can't fool me.

I know his game. No,
he's after a pay rise.

Seriously, Sam, he's
not trying to trick you.

He's a magician.
Tricks are his trade.

I bet you I can find the card.

Like this!

Is this your card? Yes! Oh!

Thank you. Thank you.

How'd you do that?

Looks like I've got
some competition!

I'm still learning.

Maybe you can teach me
some of your tricks!

Maybe you could teach
you some of yours.

What's your name? I'm
Josie. You'll see me around.

Hey, Will. I'm
sorry about earlier.

My memory's playing
tricks on me.

No worries. Easily done.

Erm, I know it's last minute,
but is there any chance

I could hire you for a party
at mine this afternoon?

Let me check my calendar. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm free.

OK, great.

Will?

I was told the palace was near
here. Could you tell me the way?

HE SPEAKS ARABIC

Sorry.

Ah, shabti like Safiya.
She'd loved this.

WOMEN HOLLER

Sorry, what's going on?

Princess Safiya! She's
shopping in the market!

Thank you. MAN SPEAKS ARABIC.

SAFIYA!

Sorry.

Don't you remember this place?

You live HERE?

OK, take a good
look at this door.

See if it reminds
you of anything.

I'm trying to help you
get your memory back.

It's not ringing any bells.

Nothing? Really?

What time does this party start?

What if I told you we went
through here this morning,

to Egypt, in a tomb?

What are you talking about?

We were almost impaled on spikes
and then shot at with arrows.

Oh, is this some kind of joke?

I need you to remember, Will!

We were standing right here!

And then I touched
these hieroglyphs and

voila.

There is no party, is there?

Something's wrong.

You can say that again.

Something is stuck in it.

That's why it didn't work.

Henry. Who's Henry?

My brother, your friend.

Right?

Is he around?

Or your parents, or anyone
who can look after you?

He's gone through
to look for Safiya.

I told him not to!

Who's Safiya? Is she here?

No, she's in Cairo.

She went home after we
saved the world from Aapep.

We tried to trap him in
a sarcophagus, remember?

If you want my advice, Miss

you might feel
better if you spent

less time around
all this dead stuff.

You take care now.

Wait. Will?

We need to go get Henry back.

Hmph!

Oh. Have you seen Henry?

I can't find him anywhere.

No, but I'm sure he
can't have gone far.

Safiya? Over here! Safiya!

What are you doing here?

Bit of shopping.
What do you think?

Safiya was right there. You
made me lose her. Thanks, sis.

Did you see which way she went?

She has a boyfriend.

Yeah, right.

She hasn't.

I'm sorry, Henry.

How do you know?

She wrote to me. She
asked me not to tell you.

She didn't want you to be hurt.

But she said...

I thought me and her were...

You should have told me.

I wanted to, but she wanted to tell
you herself when she next saw you.

If it makes you feel better,
she feels terrible about it.

She wasn't looking
for a boyfriend.

It's just one of those things
that happens, you know?

Henry, wait!

Hey, Will! Catch.

What's this?

You win. I'll pay you an
extra shilling a week.

Come on out, Artie! I'm
not falling for this prank!

Will, for the last time, Artie's
at the new arcade in Brighton.

I'm in charge now, so do
you want a job here or not?

I'll think about it.

Well, I kind of like
working for myself.

And I need someone right now!

So if you're not interested,
I'll have that back.

I also like helping
my mum pay the rent.

A regular gig sounds good.

Got a customer waiting again.

Hello. Again.

Hi.

OK, let's start with
something simple.

So the secret to this trick...

Don't tell me. I want
to figure it out.

Do it again.

Henry?

Henry, where are you?

Go away. Just leave me alone.

SHE SIGHS

I should've told you.

I'm sorry.

I just feel like such
a fool, coming here.

Yeah, I know. I didn't
want to upset you.

I know how fond you were of her.

Understatement of the year.

Don't know, I guess I just thought
that by the time you'd next see her,

you'd be over her,
and then you two

could be friends and forget
you ever felt this way.

I'll never forget.

It's funny how fast
that can happen.

What is it?

We're talking about you. Not me.

OK, well, now you
have to tell me.

Something seriously weird
is happening with my magic.

I kissed Will and rewired his whole
memory back to when we first met.

What?

You mean he doesn't know
that you and him...?

Henry, he doesn't
remember a thing.

Not you, not me, not Safiya,

not the adventures we've had.

HENRY SIGHS

That's sad.

At least I have you.

Sorry, have we met before?

THEY GIGGLE

Anyway, we should head back.

It will take us ages to find
our way back to the car door.

I think my magic
can help with that.

Take us to the car door.

THEY LAUGH

A few teething
problems! You don't say.

Come on.

Goodbye, Safiya. We had
some good times together.

I just hope your boyfriend
knows how lucky he is.

You all right?

I'm totally crushed
and dying inside,

but apart from that I'm fine.

Hey, want to help me find a
spell to get Will's memory back?

Can't you just conjure
one up in your head?

No, no. This needs a spell.

OK, well, you get started,
I just... I need a minute.

Henry, there you are!
Where have you been?

I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Nowhere special.
Just down the shops.

After our chat this morning,

I'm thinking maybe it's
best if I don't go to Cairo.

No, Mum, you have to go. I
mean, this is your thing.

You've worked so hard for it.

I know, but I'm
worried about you.

I know how much you've been
missing your special friend.

Really. It's OK.
It's all sorted.

Really? You're not sad?

Because Clive can go
to Cairo instead of me.

No, I'll be sad if you
miss such an amazing trip.

In that case,
Egypt, here I come!

I was this close to going to Cairo.
Oh, you're better off here, Clive.

Honestly, it was a
scorcher there today.

LOUD BANGING

Keep it down, will you?

You're lucky there
was no return address,

Or you'd go straight back
to your mystery sender.

LOUD BANGING

Final warning and you're
going in the stores.

There's mice down there.

Oh, you've made a wrong
turning. The museum's that way.

You had a vision.

Did you see Ramses?

How did you know
that? Who are you?

Where's your oasis?

What oasis?

You will tell us.

Get away from me!

We will return.
