A nightmare again?

Don't worry, don't worry.

Don't worry. It will soon be over.

Dad?

Are you ready? Soon, Tod is not here yet.

Oh, don't go just yet.

Here.

Happy Birthday, darling.

But it is tomorrow.

Open it.

Sorry I couldn't find any pretty paper.

Oh dad.

It's beautiful.

It's the most precious thing I can give you.

- I will treasure it. - No no, don't just treasure it.

- It was made to be worn. - It must be worth a fortune.

- Suppose I lose it? - You won't.

Wear it always.

Wear it now. Here.

Happy birthday, darling.

Thank you.

Hi, glad you could make it.

(?)

(?)

Get him inside.

What about a bit of fun. Lets have a look at our snaky Berrigan.

My God he has been in straightjacket all night, hasn't he?

(?)

Hello cat.

When are you going to let me speak to him? Who?

Your Father. Not now.

Not now? What does that mean? You are not feeding him enough.

He should be gorge and fat and purring. Darling,

there are areas of research he can help me with.

Sometimes I think there are only two things you want me for.

You have absolutely right. Am I?

Yes, Absolutely.

You drink too much. Madre Mia!

I thought you never see it. When did you get it?

Birthday present. From your father? What are you going to give me?

I have never seen anything so beautiful.

He must have got it on the expedition.

What do you know about it? I don't know anything about it.

Don't you want to know? I ask him later.

It's the first time he's ever given anything away from the expedition.

Anything in the meaning of the word giving.

No reports, no journals, no findings, nothing.

Absolute secrecy. Perhaps there where nothing else to give.

You never had anything else like it? No other presents? No?

All these years, and now this ring.

It's unlike anything I have seen before.

I know, we can find out from a friend of mine.

Be careful, He can be dangerous.

I unlocked his hands. Thank you doctor.

Come on Berrigan, You know what I want. It's in there, isn't it?

Get your hands off me your maniac.

Get ready to go Sir. At once please.

That's what I need. Maybe later.

Promises, promises.

Hello. Hello Tod.

Tod, I didn't expect you today. I wasn't planning on coming over.

But there is something I have to show you.

What do you make of that?

My God.

Where did you get it? Whose is it? It's mine.

Isn't it lovely? No, no.

(?)

Are they coming home? It's so hot.

I have to take this off.

What is it mrs Dickerson?

I cant go on. The vibrations are wrong. I have to ask you to leave.

But next week by all means we will continue.

You saw something there for real. You are free to tell me. Take your coat with you.

It's so beautiful.

Fantastic how it catches the light.

Can I have it back?

I should ring Geoffrey and see how he is. He will be fine, the doctor said so.

Was it this which frightened him? I thought it was me.

Only if you reminded him of someone. That's not much of a compliment.

He's late.

He will be here.

Go on, you can go. You past enough. I cant just

leave you, suppose he doesn't come? He will come.

You heard what the doctor said. You got to expect these things when you reach your age.

Go on with you, Don't fuzz. All right then, Look after yourself.

I'm glad you come. I'm glad you wanted me to.

- What happened? - It was her.

- Her? - Standing over there.

And the ring, She who has no name.

How could it happened? We don't know.

But it was her, Don't you believe me?

Are you ready for this? She is Margaret Fuchs. His daughter.

What? It's impossible.

And in a few hours time. It will be her birthday.

I Tera, queen of darkness. Priestess of ancient Egypt. I have lived before.

My spirit has never rested through all these weary centuries.

My soul has wandered among the boundless stars.

While my mortal body waited.

Now is the time draws nearer to the predestined hour.

I have guided these people towards my tomb.

Made them the guardians of my most sacred relics.

To protect with their lives.

Until they are reclaimed.

That will be soon. Soon...

Can you read it Professor Fuchs?

She who is buried here. Shall henceforth have no name.

Shall cease to exist in the minds of man. As she has ceased to exist in life.

Look!

We do have a name.

Tera!

Mrs Fuchs.

She's dead.

Doctor! Quick!

Oh my God, look!

What is it? A nightmare? I must get home.

But darling it's three AM? I don't care, I got to go.

But now? Yes now. Okay, okay, Ill take you.

What kind of danger? I don't know what, I just feel something is wrong.

Did you feel that? Yes, something seem to...

Dad! Out of the way, We have to break it in. But I have

never been down there, nobody is allowed down there.

So we will be the first.

Dad!

How did it happen? There is no one else here.

No other way in or out.

Tell Putnum, He has my instructions. Call him.

He left instructions. Did he expect this will happen?

Is this what you dreamed? Just call Putnum.

Thank you doctor.

Putnum is on his way. Shouldn't we move him?

Yes, Ill take him to his room.

Don't worry, He will be okay.

What do you want the policeman for? We have to

report it, and we must find out what happened.

How it happened.

His instructions, what where they? That there should be no police.

And that you and I should make decisions on his behalf. I see.

He knew that something like this might happen. You will have to ask him when he wakes.

He must tell you everything for his sake as well as yours.

Why cant you tell me?

Truly I wish I could, but I have never been allowed into

his total confidence beyond the odd hint and suggestion.

But in those hints and suggestions something truly astounding. At last

he will be able to show the world of science just how little it knows.

I will be back tomorrow Margaret. He should stay like this for a few days.

If there is any change call me. He's my priority.

Good bye Margaret. Good bye.

Geoffrey?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear anything?

Father, what do I have to do?

What do I have to do?

Tod?

Don't be scared.

Do you remember me? It was rather a long time ago.

Tod!

Your father and I are friends. And I have come to help you as he cant.

Corbeck, He said you where never to be allowed in this house.

You need my help now more than anything else in this world.

Margaret?

You seen her?

Yes. You are wearing the ring. Do you know what it means, the ruby?

The symbol of the God to come.

How much do you know?

Nothing.

He left you in ignorance, all this?

It's a strange and fantastic affair but it's not

entirely frightening, if we try to understand.

The idea of this queen of darkness obsessed your father since he was a young man.

He stumbled across a veiled reference to such a creature.

An medieval tract on sorcerer.

But she was buried. And she had no name.

Your father was determined to find the truth

and make his mark on the world of Egyptology.

But he didn't know how big.

So then you assembled a team? Yeah.

Yes, and begun our search.

We found her tomb in the valley of the sorcerer.

Hidden, a secret,

for she was a great fear to the priests of her time who killed her.

Your father must have been driven by some occult

knowledge, that even he was unaware he possessed.

It was his destiny.

And what then? Then...

Horror... wonder...

There was an attack on one of our bearers. And at that moment.

Horrifyingly, fresh blood was released in her veins.

How could this be? How could she be so perfectly preserved?

And you...

Born exactly at the moment that your father first looked on her.

Born in her image.

Born as we spoke her name which the priests had entirely obliterated.

Tera.

I thought I hear you call me.

Yes, I did.

We have a visitor.

Corbeck, friend to the family.

Tulip called me and asked me to come over.

Tod Browning.

I suppose you heard all that. I did, some of it.

It must have sounded insane to you.

I have studied areas of parapsychology. Oh yes parapsychology, the paranormal plane.

Telekinesis the modern approach.

She has some kind of power that's obvious. Good.

I'm glad we don't have to convince you.

I like to see her. Her power is astro.

In a way I cant comprehend neither did Julian. But we must understand.

Or it can be directed against us as it was against Julian.

And that gives us an important first task.

And whats that?

Margaret you must contact all the old members of our team.

Geoffrey Dandridge is one of them isn't he? Yes.

He's a friend of mine but he never once mentioned this.

Geoffrey always preferred to forget as much as possible

about the entire affair. He was a superstitious man.

He is also a scientist.

Things begin with superstition. We can start with him.

If you wish.

What can these people do to help us? Not us,

Tera, they can help me unite her with her soul.

Hello? Tod here, Goeffrey how are you.

I'm fine now Tod, but very busy. It's about Julian Fuchs.

I want have anything to do with it. I know why you are frightened.

Jesus, he's scared. When we should start with Berrigan.

We thought mr Berrigans family where all dead. And

now you are his second visitor in the last few days.

Another visitor? Hmm.

Who was he doctor? No idea.

But since that time he has been like a man possessed.

What does he do with his time? Every waking hour, pouring over his books.

Ordering more, always writing if time is running out.

I guess his fantasy world is dominated by a presence of some demoniac baby.

(?)

I see.

There is no way for us to break through to him. We cant help him.

And, I hope he want disturb you.

I'm not ready yet, There is more to do. Please don't be frightened.

Try to listen and understand.

If he thinks I'm Tera then... You know who I am?

Yes.

And you are afraid, aren't you?

You are here to kill me, you have been waiting all these years, torturing me.

And now when I'm close to the answer you come for me?!

I don't wish to kill anybody. I just want whats mine, my familiar, the snake!

Yes, You are powerless without it I haven't got it!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no....

Not this way. I think it's time we tell the doctor and have him get it for us.

No!

There is another way.

Hello Margaret.

How is he? Oh he's fine. His neck is healing very well and his blood pressure is normal.

But there is a slight paralysis on the left hand side.

So be prepared.

Have you and Mr Browning discovered anything of any value?

No it's all up to my father.

Yes of course, he knows, but he was to scared.

Never knew what kind of pandoras box he have might done there.

Wanted to keep you out of it. So that you would be safe.

Seems like I have been involved all my life. Doesn't it?

Maybe even longer.

Good night doctor.

Your fathers journal. What does it say?

Your mother died as you where born. I know, she died giving me life.

No not exactly. What then?

Your father and the others found the tomb. Where in the

tomb, at the exact moment of your birth in London.

These two events where more than a coincidence.

They where a unity. He says she created this unit. He says here...

...her body... preparing for some abstract metaphysical state.

An astro-body of the free will. A conscious intelligence.

We can keep people frozen in suspended animation.

People with cancer waiting for the cure.

Their body's handling like a machine. Not dead. Not alive, waiting, non life.

But waiting.

I get a feeling of great loneliness. Of her dreaming alone.

Dreaming of things far different from that's around her.

Lands far away in miles and years.

Yet close to her heart.

No scheming and malignant priesthood.

No oppressive archaic laws or endless rituals of death.

A land where love is the divine possession of the soul.

That will be the day. Don't laugh Tod.

I can feel it in my heart.

See it through my sleeping eyes. Perhaps it was her dream to make it come true.

Yeah, perhaps you're right.

Lets go.

Snake he want his little pet thing.

This really is something. The old snake he found in Egypt, didn't he?

I wonder why it makes him feel better? Only snaky knows.

And he's not telling, is he? Must be a reason.

He's crazy, that's the reason.

Now, no more of your screaming okay? Because no one is gonna take blind bit of notice.

Okay, that's it. It must be worth a fortune. Must it?

Only if you are crazy.

Oh dear.

The dawn chorus has started. Well, now it's your turn to make...

Margaret? Dad!

Oh daddy are you really all right? What time is it? No, Try lie still.

My whole side. Dr. Putnum thought this might happen.

Whats become of me? You had a terrible shock.

Try to remember. I had been out with Tod.

And when we came back we found you in the cellar.

You are safe. I was sure you would be.

Is that why you gave me ring. To protect me?

Tell me!

It belonged to Tera, didn't it? You know?

Everything you have belongs to her. But...

How could it protect me?

The priests of her time. Cut the hand from her.

Not only did it symbolise what they believed was her evil.

They also thought, that with her body incomplete her power would be destroyed.

Evidently it wasn't that simple.

And this ring was on that hand.

A talisman for you.

I have given you so little.

To protect me?

Or give me her power.

You got to tell me everything. Look, Berrigan

is dead, somehow the snake he had turned alive.

How could it. So soon.

Listen, Corbeck has been telling me about...

- Corbeck? - Yes.

You called him? Lies, that's all he ever tell you.

He's never to come here. He's not to be involved. Not now.

Trust me, wait until the time is right.

Don't have anything to do with Corbeck. This ring if we have it, where is the hand?

Promise me.

Berrigan is dead.

But you knew that. And we have the snake. But you knew that too.

But you found me. I didn't know you do that. I'm glad.

My father is recovering. He can talk.

- He told you? - Yes.

Everything? Yes.

And don't tell me he lied. Illusions, He doesn't know the truth.

But what you call the truth is lies. For your sake.

That's what he said. You both trying to use me but

you don't care about what might happen to me.

And what you say is all lies.

Well not any longer. I'm important to this affair, Born in her

image I don't know how or why but you need me, I do know that.

This force may have us trapped. But it fascinates me.

It's part of me. Your father believes in a force of evil.

And he spent these years trying to find the root of that force.

By trying to keep the evil bottled up.

And you want to let it loose?

I don't accept it as a concept. Then what do you accept?

Terror is far beyond the laws and dogma of our times. And of ours.

Beyond good and evil?

Love, Hate, she's a law compelling beyond good and evil, And

if we can find out how far beyond, how much we can learn.

But why do we need the relics?

I think you know why. You feel it.

Resurrection? Yes.

Her rebirth of Tera. For her knowledge, for her ideas.

And for us?

Complete control, over life, over death.

Obscured for ages. With our hands to use as we will.

And my father? We can not afford the weak.

What do you mean?

He has no real courage, no real strength. Only a cheap intellectual conceit.

But all his years of study? He has been afraid.

That's why he wanted nothing to do with me And that's why he

felt better than the others because of the fear of God.

Well the meek shall not inherit the earth.

Can we afford to let him be a part? To let them control it?

Are you going to go on allowing them use you? No.

Good, when together we will share whatever we contrive to make.

Tell me, what would you do to posses it all?

Anything.

Then together we will do everything.

Not yet.

There is still some shopping to do.

Dandridge and Dickerson.

Not now Tod, I'm busy.

What do you mean busy? We gonna see geoffrey aren't we?

That's not a good idea look what happened last time.

Seeing him again might kill him.

But just don't bother me now. What do you mean?

I'm in a danger, oh let me alone.

My turn to surprise you.

This is your house? It has some rather interesting views.

I'm considering buying it, but I may change my mind.

It all rather depends on circumstances.

Do I need to ask you to leave? What are you doing to Margaret?

Why whats doing to you?

Just tell me where she is.

Shopping.

Ten to six Mr Dandridge, Mr Dandridge? Mmm. You better go now.

Or you will find the shops all shut. All right then.

Will you?

All right then, take care. Oh wait I forgot to show you this.

You didn't know did you? One of your colleges died.

- Mr. Berrigan. - Berrigan?

Didn't think you knew. Night.

My God.

Corbeck?

Tod is that you?

Veronica?

Who are you?

Are you feeling better now? You have a relic from the tomb.

The skull of the secret dragon.

We want it.

You killed Berrigan. You and your father.

He was afraid he die if he gave it up. Is that what you think?

Supposing you die if you keep it. Have you thought of that?

We want it Mr Dandridge!

What a hell are you doing here? I changed my mind.

You seemed determined that we should see Geoffrey.

Corbeck said you where shopping.

Did he?

- What do you doing there? Where is Geoffrey? - He's not there.

Come on Tod. No, I want to look around.

If you must! But you will be wasting your time.

Look! I know.

Margaret?

Margaret? Margaret where are you?

You two better not know what a hell you're been doing.

Margaret I hope in God you don't.

But it's ended, we getting out of it all of us. This is something precious and fantastic.

Two people have died because what you been dabbling with. It can kill you.

No!

Or you... Like smoking or driving cars.

You are insane. And you are going crazy. Come on. Let me go!

Come on before it's too late.

Where are you going? To get help.

Who can you get to help you?

- Help for you. - Tod don't.

Or you are dead. Tod!

He had died anyway. But I wished him dead.

Don't fight it. Let it flow through you. Let it be yours. Look at the ring.

When I saw you wearing it I knew the time was near or else he wouldn't given it to you.

Stars shift their relative position in the heavens.

Through enormous distances.

But they appear small. They are measured by centuries not by years.

But they do not correspond to their position in

the constellation as it was when she was alive.

They are in the position they are in now. Tonight.

She choose it. So you must not weaken.

You are born for this. You are coming of age.

Margaret?

What have you done to her? She's all right.

She needs help. She doesn't exist.

She's a pawn, an instrument, a vessel. No!

Lets face it, when tonight is over she will be dead and Tera will live.

It is tonight, isn't it? No, no.

I want go through with it, not now. All you've done is lock yourself in here and play games.

How clever I am. How is it possible?

Wouldn't it be fun if it were all true, when it is true.

Undeniably so.

And you. You are scared every waking moment, you are scared.

And she made you see, hasn't she? See your conceits, see your games.

Tera has given you a warning.

Don't let me down. Don't try and back out. Or you are dead.

You know what you've got to do. And you know there is no help for her.

Yes.

And I just go and bring some things. And I think we will be almost ready for her.

One last The third face of her soul.

Without it we can stop this nightmare.

Unless it's all too late.

Tod, Tod!

Do it! Using her as a... as an experiment.

Put her out, she must not wake. Must not be conscious.

Do it.

Time, it is the moment out of space. Memory, and when memory dies.

There are mighty things. But life it self is mightier.

Life it self is...

Life it self is...

Get back to bed Margaret. I'm going to give you something to help you sleep for a while.

Useless. But you are not well Margaret, you need rest.

I have been sleeping too long. Julian!

Afraid? I'm only trying to help you, why should I be afraid?

Because I want to see you die!

Putnum!

What do you going to do with the body Julian?

You have a incinerator, it takes longer but it's safer.

You see, I'm not even going to ask you why you killed him. Now then.

Let me give you a hand.

But you done enough to ruin everything.

But I have searched, I have traveled the world. I have come to

the edge of understanding. I have recovered the scroll of life.

Soon the moment will be here. Tera will be reborn.

But you don't understand. I understand everything.

You need me, we need Margaret and only I can control her.

No, not anymore, it's out of our hands. Tera is in control.

We control Tera. We give her life. Without us she is dust and ashes.

Now then, where is Margaret? She killed Putnum.

And ran out, God only knows where.

We know where, don't we?

Answer it.

Help me.

I'm Margaret Fuchs. Must be his daughter.

Margaret?

Margaret?

No! It's happened. You have to help me.

I have no mind left, no will.

I face you!

She can live or die, Ill be safe. You will be safe if you give it to me.

Yes, I get you. Don't kill me. Please!

Yes that's it, give it to me.

Come.

We must go.

The scroll of life.

No, no don't read the scroll. Destroy it.

It can only bring evil and destruction. The worst

that's in you, the worst that's in all of us.

That's all we have seen from this business. But that's not what Tera wants.

You have abused the power she has given you. Thanks to him.

Do it my way. Wait and watch with patience and trust.

Wait until she is ready.

She is ready now.

No, not like this.

You cant only have good things, beautiful things, holy

things, they are worthless without their opposites.

Get the lamps. No. The lamps.

Celestial Osiris, Isis and Horus. This before us is a child of the gods.

A being of majesty and might.

Her astral spirit wanders the cold places and dark. Seeking reunion with her soul.

With her body.

So that she may rise. As is the privilege and destiny of the gods.

So that she may walk again on this earth.

Let life flow again in this body. Let the soul rejoin it.

Let the astro-spirit be....

Osiris, Isis, Horus. What use is this if we are to die.

Instruments of her will using all of us.

You didn't find her. She found you and led you to the tomb.

Made you devote yourself to her.

And the others just guarding the relics with their lives.

More chances for her to be reborn.

Once she regain her place is by the priests.

But Margaret you'd died when your mother died.

And suddenly you where alive.

She is you. He must not finish the scroll.

The scroll.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

- Is there no information? - Nothing.

She is the same she was when they brought her in.

Naked and more dead than alive.

- No relatives? No visitors? - None.

They say all the others where crushed beyond recognition.

She's the only one who can tell us who she is.
