02x12 - Monsters of the Underworld

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Theodosia...

You...

Harold gave it to me.

Old magic. Powerful protection.

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

Earthquake!

This should keep
us safe for a bit.

The Eternal Flame is
pretending to be Granny.

He was pretending to be me, too.

There's only one person I know
who would want to do that.

The Eternal Flame
hid that scroll.

We need to find out why.

I need to know my own heart
before I get to the Oasis.

I don't want to have any
feelings for you at all!

We're so close now.

At last.

Where are we?

Well, we're not on the
Nile, that's for sure.

This is the Oasis of Magic?

No, but I think it's
taking us there.

At least I hope it is.

So, er...

About what you
said in the museum?

I was actually really hoping
you wouldn't bring that up.

We should talk about
it. Yeah, I'm British.

We don't do that.

You know how I feel about you.

What was that?

Oh, no! No, no, no.

I know where we are.

We're sailing through
the underworld!

Don't look at me like
that. You're scaring me.

It's full of monsters!

{\an8}We're too late. There's
nothing we can do.

{\an8}There... There has to be
something. If he has her...

{\an8}Look, Darius won't do
anything until they get there.

She doesn't know
the danger she's in.

If only there was

a way to warn her!

The Ka Door will get us to her!

I have to check on Granny first!

I've done what I can.
She's not in any pain.

Thank you, Doctor.

How's Granny doing?
Will she be OK?

Ha! You know Mother.

Stronger than an ox!

Darius will pay for this.

Have you seen Theo?

I'll go look for her. I'm
sure she hasn't gone far.

Thank you.

If we knew where the Oasis was,
we could get there through here.

What? No. It's
dangerous to guess.

Remember the first time we went
through and got lost in the desert?

We have to do something!
Maybe this can help?

You see anything?

Maybe it's gone.

There!

Where did it go? I don't know.

I think I scared it off.

You think so? No.

Yeah, me neither.

It must be hiding in the clouds.

It's toying with us.

Ah! Ah!

That was so close.
Yeah, too close!

Quick! There!

Shoo! Ah!

THEY GROAN

Yeah, I don't think we can
"shoo" underworld monsters.

Why are they attacking us?
I passed the final test!

It doesn't make any sense.

In the town of Naukratis,
I was "gennimenos."

Born. It's his life story!

Look, there's a map.

Naukratis was a Greek
colony in Ancient Egypt.

It says he was born... No.

It says he was born during the
reign of Rameses the Second!

He's been alive for
over 3,000 years.

It's going to take that long just
to read it. It's our only lead.

We need to find a
way to stop him.

Let's see...

Here we go.

When he was 15, he got a
job at the Royal Palace

working for Rameses the Second.

Now we're getting somewhere.

What does it say
about his barge?

No. Darius was Rameses'
official "oinochoos".

Fish bearer? No, cup bearer!

You weren't kidding.
Your Greek is terrible.

He brought some water back
from the Oasis of Magic,

and he would sip it to
replenish his power.

Let me guess. Darius stole
the water and drank it.

Yes. Drinking so much at once
that it turned him "Athanatos".

Arrogant? Insufferable?
Pretentious?

Immortal.

He never aged another day.

Keep going, Henry. This
scroll is our only lead.

Darius, what's wrong?

I was worried about the others.

We left them looking
for the Eternal Flame.

Are you sensing that
they found them?

They found something.

A scroll, maybe? Did they
mention anything to you about it?

Well, no, but we did
leave in a hurry.

Your powers are getting stronger.
How are your hands? Yeah, I'll live.

Maybe not for long.

Check that side!

Hello? Anybody home?

Don't worry, Mother.

They're digging a
new underground line.

The barge. What happened?

When they first put it up,
it nearly wrecked the place.

But Theo drew a symbol on
it to contain its magic!

Doesn't look very contained.
I'll check it out.

You two keep working
on the scroll!

What does the word
"fileneda" mean?

Erm...

A girlfriend!

Hi, Josie.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm looking for
something. Now's not a good time.

I really need to talk to you.

I know, but it'll have to wait.

That's all I do.

Wait.

Well, not any more!

I'm not leaving till you
tell me what's going on!

They're digging a
new underground line.

I don't care about the stupid
underground! I care about us!

OK, let's talk.

But not here.

Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!

SHE GROANS Hey, stay
calm, stay calm.

You can do this.

We are running out of time!

Everything will be OK.
We'll be at the Oasis soon.

How do you know
that? It's a secret.

Tell me!

OK. The truth is, I have
no idea if we're close.

I just wanted to take
your mind off your hands.

Oh.

Well, aren't you clever?

I have my moments.

Ah! Darius!

It's got hold of my legs!

SHE STRAINS

Theo! I'm trying!

Find the Oasis! For both of us.

I am not doing this alone.

Let go of him!

I don't want to be your backup

in case things don't
work out with Theo.

It's not like that. Oh, yeah?

Cos that's what it feels like.

One minute you're kissing me,

the next you're acting as if
nothing happened. I can explain.

If you say you lost your memory
again, I'm going to scream...

Josie, I just want us to be...

I can't be friends.

I tried that, and
it didn't work.

Doing the shows with
you just made it worse.

I just wanted you to look at
me the way you look at Theo.

But you never did.

I never meant to hurt you.

Working together was a mistake.

I thought so too.

Until you kissed me today.

It wasn't like the first time.

It was different.

And I felt real connection
and I know you did, too.

Don't deny it.

It felt different
because it wasn't me.

It was...

It was Darius.

Now you're making fun of me.

He can do magic.

He tricked you into thinking
it was me. I don't believe you.

If this is just another one
of your pathetic excuses...

I'm telling you the truth!

It was Darius you had
that connection with!

You're unbelievable.

I'm serious.

It wasn't me.

I care about you, Josie.

OK. You have to go.
It's not safe here.

The work on the underground
isn't doing this.

What's going on, Will?
I'm sorry, Josie.

Stay out of this. You
have to leave, right now!

Darius's girlfriend was Rameses'
grand-daughter, Princess Tia.

Were servants allowed to
date royalty back then?

He says it was a
mystikos. A mistake?

No. Mystikos means... a secret.

This is getting us nowhere.

What happened to Rameses
after Darius stole the magic?

He got the barge ready to go back
to the Oasis to get some more.

Did Darius follow him? Er...

Rameses was old and died before
he could make the journey.

He must have left some clue
behind about the location.

Er, Darius turned the palace upside
down, but didn't find anything.

That's just great.

Will should be back by now.

I don't know if I can do this.

Do it.

HE GROANS

Oh, don't stop!

Amazing. I have my moments.

I owe you my life.

You don't owe me anything.

I got you into this.

I'm going to get you out.

But I don't want out.

This magic is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

An underworld sea monster
just almost ate you for lunch.

Well, he seems to
have gone now, and

I'm with you. That's
all that matters.

I need to see what's
going on. I won't be long.

Darius...

No, it's me, Mother.

Darius... No, no,
no. It's your son.

It's Alistair. I'm right here.

Oh, Theodosia...

She's not here. Henry's
gone to look for her.

I tried, I tried to...
I tried to... Shh.

You need to rest, Mother.

My necklace...

You must've lost it when
you fell. But don't worry.

Don't worry, we'll find it.

It's too late...

I won't leave you,
Mother. I promise.

I still love Will.

Then we'll just be friends.

Yeah. Friends.

It's better for both
of us, isn't it, yeah?

I agree.

What? What's wrong? No, nothing.

Sorry. I just
suddenly got really...

Really, really dizzy.

Ah!

Are you OK?

What, what is it?

No. Erm, I think
I just overdid it

when I was pulling
you up from the boat.

Breathe. It'll pass.

What does the wax do? It,
er, it absorbs the magic.

Soaking up kind of like
a... Like a sponge.

There. Well done.

It's working.

A few teething problems.

Theo would know what to do.

Hey, look! This is new!

I've seen that symbol
in Theo's spell book.

Must be why the
wax isn't working.

This has to be Darius.

No, it doesn't make sense.

Why would he bother wrecking
this place? You're right.

It's not like he needs
to cover his tracks.

RATTLING Hello?

Is somebody there?

I know I've seen
this symbol before.

That's it! What?

It was on the scroll!

He's trying to distract us.

There must be something in here
he doesn't want us to read.

We're getting too close.
There's still time to help Theo!

I... I think I'm over it now.

You had me worried there.

Oh! What was that?

I... I can't see anything.
Erm... check the front.

Erm, it might be circling us.

Do you see anything?

Whatever it is, it's gone.

OK. Well, just keep looking.

You know, we can't
take another hit.

Anything there?

Why are you trying
to stop the barge?

It was you.

This, this whole
time. It was you.

How did you work it out?

You're wearing my
grandmother's necklace.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

You sent clay
people to attack us.

I made them to protect you.

Well, they didn't protect me!
They attacked Henry and Maya!

That wasn't supposed to
happen. I lost control of them.

This whole time

you were just using me
to get to the Oasis.

I wanted to tell you the
truth. I just didn't know how.

I never gave you magic.

You... You had it
the whole time.

You allowed me to believe
that I had blinded you,

and you were really
just faking it.

It's not my finest hour, but
I needed you to trust me.

Oh, yeah? Well,
congratulations cos it worked.

If I'd told you who I was, would
you have taken me with you?

Yes.

If you were worthy.

Which you're not.

Watch out.

See? I'm not all bad.

I should have let you
fall. And you didn't.

We both know why.

You get off my boat!

Not before I tell you the truth.

I don't want to hear it.

Jump, or I'll blast you!

Fine.

Do whatever your heart wants.

Wait a minute.

I missed this bit.

Rameses discovered
the secret affair.

He sent his
granddaughter into exile,

and he ordered
Darius be punished.

Darius only drank the magic
water to defend himself.

So he didn't steal it
just for the power.

Don't feel sorry for him.

He did a lot of bad stuff.

He searched all of
Egypt for Princess Tia,

but he couldn't find her. I don't
care about his old girlfriend!

We're looking for clues that can
help us stop him. Stop rushing me.

Oh, sure, take all
the time you need.

It's only Theo's
life on the line!

What if she was
exiled to the Oasis?

Sorry, Henry. Carry on.

Don't worry, Mother.

I'm here.

You can beat this, Mother.

You can do anything.

If you told the world
to stop, it would.

I don't know anyone
stronger than you.

The truth is, that
strength used to scare me.

I used to want to
be so much like you.

But growing up, I was afraid
of so many things, I...

And I did my best to hide it.
But I think you always knew.

You always knew.

I just wanted to be a son
you could be proud of.

We're all afraid, Alistair.

I as much as you.

Oh, I am proud of you.

You're a good father.

There's something you need
to know about Theodosia.

What is it?

She's in danger.

If I'd have known it would
have made me immortal,

I never would have stolen
the magic from Rameses.

I was alone for thousands
of years until I met you.

You make it sound like
we met by accident.

And yet you planned
this whole thing.

My magic was failing, I thought
my time was coming to an end.

But then... I heard about the
girl with Heka who defeated Aapep,

and I knew that you
could find the Oasis.

How did you know we
would go to Maple Skye?

You were there long
before we arrived.

No, I...

I got there ten
minutes before you did.

I used my magic to insert
myself into everyone's memory

to make it seem like I'd
been there for years.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

I'm just trying to be
honest with you. No, no.

You do not know what
that word means.

All you know is how to lie.

I didn't lie about us.

There is no us.

Now who's the one who's lying?

Stop the barge!

Think about it, Theo.

With our magic, together, we
could do whatever we want.

We are not together,
and we never will be.

It's over, Darius.

Now stop the barge or I will.

Ah!

Whoa!

After years of searching,
he found Princess Tia.

She was an old woman by then.

He told her how sorry he was for
the way things turned out for them,

but... he left and
never came back.

So she wasn't at the
Oasis. This is a dead end.

Theo's in trouble and there's
nothing I can do about it.

Wait a minute.

He found her using a Ka door,
like the one downstairs.

It opened for him,
because he was karfosi...

Karfosi...

No pressure, Henry, but
this is pretty crucial.

Really not helping, Maya.

It opened for him
because he was pining.

He was pining for her.
Like you were for Safiya!

Were you? Then I found
out she had a boyfriend.

Ah.

That must have
hurt. Just a little.

This is why he didn't want
us to find the scroll.

We don't need to know where
the Oasis of Magic is.

The Ka door can take
you to the one you love.

It can take me to Theo!

Which symbol do I
press first? Erm...

Quick, Henry! Don't rush him!

Theo's in danger! I'm
trying to remember.

Hurry!

OK. Maybe it was

that one first...

Oh, no! Wait! Maybe
it was that one.

Or... was it that one?

Ah!

SHE SCREAMS
