It's all right.

This is much more your sort of
establishment, sir, very lovely.

Evening. How do you do?

There you are.

And now, chaps, we survived the war.
Let's hope we survive this place.

I don't think we will, sir. We
drink too much of this stuff.

Wouldn't it be lovely,
major, to get back home, eh?

Have a lovely pint of beer
at the George and Dragon.

Did you know what, major? I
do believe I'm homesick.

You could have gone home when
the last troop shipped out.

But if you'll remember correctly, we

were somewhat involved with several
young ladies to sail in that.

That's not why we
missed it, Holly.

I don't think any of us really
wanted to go home anyway.

Well, we still had
some money then.

Yes, it's another thing, sir. Might I inquire
what your plans are now that you haven't?

I'll use yours, of course.

I've no desire to go back
to Cambridge to teach a lot

of pimply-faced undergraduates the
mysteries of the ancient civilizations.

I always had a dream of exploring
this part of the world for myself,

putting some of the knowledge
I gleaned from books into practical use.

I know its language and its customs, but if
you add it all up in terms of raw experience,

I know absolutely nothing.

At least you had a settled life to go back
to. I never even finished my studies.

There you are, Mr. Leo. You can go
back and study under the major.

I don't think a school
desk would fit anymore.

You know...

it's a funny thing.

But during the desert fighting,
I was never more at peace.

The place had an atmosphere,
something I've never felt before.

Well, you could still go home, Job.
There's another boat next week.

Oh, no, I couldn't, sir.
Not without you, sir.

I realize now that we're not in the army any
longer, you can't really afford a manservant,

but one day you'll be able to, sir. And just
think of all the back pay I'd have to come.

War seems to shot
away all our roots.

I say, chaps. Let's look at that.

Gentlemen, we don't want any
unpleasantness this evening.

We had four years of fighting, just
have a nice evening off, shall we?

This is a solo
volunteer operation.

No assistance needed.

A few years ago, I'd given you a run for your
money, now I think I'll just concentrate

on the visual entertainment.

Excuse me.

This is not the place a beautiful
young girl should be alone in.

- Tell me, the man you came in with, is he...
- A friend.

He has business to discuss
with the owner of this club.

- He left you to discuss business?
- Yes.

And then, I suggest the gentleman
be taught a lesson in manners.

Would it not be good manners
for you to introduce yourself?

Forgive me. My name is
Vincey. Leo Vincey.

- And mine Ustane.
- Ustane?

Your name is as
beautiful as you are.

How is this?

Aren't these girls athletic, sir?

- Job, take your hat off.
- What, sir?

Take your hat off when
dancing with the ladies.

Your friends, they are
enjoying themselves.

It's all right for them. They
enjoy the noisy nightlife.

- And you?
- Mm-hmm, on occasion.

But a beautiful girl is not to be shared,
even among the best of friends.

Isn't there somewhere we
could go less, noisy, less public?

If that is what you wish.

Where are you taking me?
Not home to meet mother?

It's not far now.

Leo. Quickly go back.

- What's wrong?
- Please. Go back.

The likeness is exact.

I would never have
believed it possible.

You've done well, Ustane. This will count
well for you when we return to our own land.

Forgive me, my Leo. It was
not my wish to bring you here.

Forgive me, but who are you?

Have you not seen me before?

- No, I don't think we've ever...
- I am Ayesha, who some call She Who Waits.

And you? Do you know who you are?

Of course. Leo Vincey.

- But that's all I'm sure of at this moment.
- Even in that, you are wrong.

Then I leave it to you. You
tell me what is right.

What is right has been
foretold long ago.

That you would come to her again
from out of the darkness of the past.

That you would possess her and all
that once could have been his.

You, who choose to call yourself
Leo Vincey, will you come to me again?

Yes. But why not now?

It must be far from this place.

- Where?
- Across the desert of lost souls.

Through the mountains of the moon.

A long and dangerous journey. At its end,
everything you desire will be yours...

Power, riches, glory.

- And you?
- Everything you desire.

When you return this ring to me, then
and only then the dangers will be past,

And all that has been
promised will be fulfilled.

Will you undertake it for me?

Yes.

But how will I find this place?

This will be your guide.

Go now.

You must.

Was I not right, my queen?

The fair one. Is it not he?

Only time will tell
us that, Billali.

In face and form,
there is no doubt.

If it is truly he come again,

He must survive the
perils of the journey.

And I pray that my waiting
will at last be over.

Holly?

- Holly, wake up.
- Hmm? Who's there?

What the devil's the matter?
What time is it?

It's late, but I want
to talk to you.

To tell you what happened tonight.

Oh, did If I have to listen to the
stories of your love life,

I'd much rather hear them in the morning
with a nice cup of tea to steady my nerves.

I think it's a bit unsporting of you,
anyway, to gloat...

Get off.

It's not that, Holly.
She was only the bait.

I always was one for a spot
of quiet fishing myself.

Do go on.

Here, while I tell you what
happened, look at this.

Now, get my glass, eh?

Thanks.

I say. Where you find this?

After we left the club, I was ambushed.

Knocked unconscious.

There you are, Holly. Exactly
as I described it to you.

- Shall we?
- Well, I don't see why not.

Judging from what you tell me, you seem
to be pretty well-known around here.

Do either of you gentlemen know
anything of the Arab laws of trespass?

What matter? Do you?

Yes, I do, sir, and I don't
think you ought to stay here.

Well, Leo, your friends
seem to have deserted you.

You really should take more
water with it, old chap.

Believe me, Holly, I'm not mad.

This is the right house,
and she was here.

Whether you believe the
rest of my story or not there are...

two things that haven't
disappeared, the ring and the map.

They're real enough.

Let's have another
look at that map.

Thanks.

How much of this could
you decipher, Leo?

Enough to know that the focal
point is the lost city of Kuma.

- Where, sir?
- Kuma.

It's a legendary city supposed to be
somewhere in the Mountains of the Moon...

- Hundreds of miles to the south of here.
- Thank you, sir.

That's strange.
Let's see that ring again.

Thanks.

This insignia is of the
high priest of Isis.

- That ties up with the legend.
- How?

The legend deals with a small
band of rich Egyptians,

who were banished to die in the desert for
a terrible crime committed by their leader.

The murder of the
high priest of Isis.

I forget his name at the moment, but they
were ordered to carry his

body and belongings with them.

What was his name?

Kallikrates. Now you see?

If the legend were true, they
hadn't died in the desert,

then why shouldn't they have set up a camp
or a village or, even in time, a small city?

They have to live somewhere.

And where the ring came from, there could
be a great deal more Egyptian treasure.

Sure.

- If it's genuine, that is.
- It's genuine, all right.

Egyptian, about 1000 B.C.

And any museum would give you
a small fortune for that.

But if that woman knew all about this, then
why hasn't she capitalized on herself?

Well, I don't know, Holly, but...

why don't we find out?

Just the sort of chance
we've all been looking for.

If we were to find the lost city of
Kuma and prove that legend true,

it would be the crowning
moment of my life.

Horace L. Holly might make
a name for himself yet.

Just imagine, sir, me stepping
into the George and Dragon.

"Half a bitter," I'd say. "Oh, yes, Sir Job,"
they'd say. "Coming right up, Sir Job."

Then you'll both come with me?

Just you try leaving without us.

Come on, then.

Well, we'll need new clothes, sir.

I've got enough money.

We want camels, water containers, as much
food as we can carry, guns, ammunition...

Mustn't forget your
digestive biscuits, sir.

- Remember what happened last time.
- Yes, all right...

Keep safe, my Leo.

I do believe I'm gonna
be seasick, sir.

Have either of you considered the possibility
that we might meet some wild Bedouins

and get our throats slit?

- That's if we're lucky.
- Cheer up, Job.

Only about another 14
days journey to go.

And that's only to find there was
nothing there in the first place, sir.

I am Ayesha, who some
call "She Who Waits."

It has been foretold long ago...

that you would come to her again.

From out of the
darkness of the past.

That you would possess her...

and all that once
could have been his.

Will you come to me again?

Across the desert of lost souls
through the mountains of the moon,.

A long and dangerous journey.

At its end, everything you
desire will be yours...

power, riches, glory.

- And you?
- Everything you desire.

- Mr. Leo?
- Mm?

I'm sorry to wake you, sir, you looked as
though you were having a lovely dream.

Somebody slashed our
water bags, sir.

What?

There's some footprints leading through
there to a patch of ground that's all been

churned up by camels.

Anything else damaged or stolen?

No, that's the strange thing.
Job and I have checked.

Did you hear anything in the night?

No.

Well, we can't go on
with just our canteens.

There are other water
holes on the map.

- We'll make it.
- Well, it seems to me, sir,

there are those that don't
want us to make it.

With all due respect, Mr. Leo,
I'm not going on, no matter what.

Last night it was the water bags
they slashed, tonight might be us.

Job could be right, you know,
the whole thing smells fishy to me.

First you're given a map by someone
who vanishes without leaving a trace.

Then someone tries to
scare us from going on.

I think we've gone far enough.

Holly, wait.

You said yourself that if you could find the
lost city of Kuma and prove the legend true,

it would be the crowning
moment of your life.

We have to go on.

We have to.

Well, I'm going on.

You can do as you please.

You'll never make it alone.

I'll make it.

Have you told us everything,
Leo, or is there something more?

Something more?

She gave me a map, a map to
the treasures of Kuma...

A chance to discover
the lost city.

A chance to gain riches and glory.

I've offered you a
share in all that.

- What more do you want?
- I'm sorry...

But you think you'd ever get
another good night's sleep

wondering what might have
been at the end of it all?

You're absolutely right, of course.

Never another good night sleep.

Well, I suppose we'll laugh
about this one day, sir.

Don't worry, Job.

We'll set you on course for Jerusalem,
I'm sure the camel will do the rest.

Well, no aspersions, major, but I don't
think I could have my two gentlemen

traipsing about the desert
without a proper valet.

Why, people would think you
were downright common, sir.

Here we are, sir. Two
nice, warm whiskeys.

Thanks, Job.

Leo...

I don't know, but according to this map we
should be in sight of the mountains by now.

Not yet, Holly. Another night journey.

Oh, of course, you travel this
route several times a week.

It does seem familiar somehow.

That's hardly possible, old chap.

It's as if something were calling me.

A voice from the past, like
some sort of inherited memory.

Inherited?

Who from?

I don't know.

Maybe my ancestor was an Egyptian
merchant who traveled this route.

Job.

Well, it's the last water until we get to
the mountains, so make the most of it.

But don't worry, Mr. Leo says
we'll see them by morning.

Well, what are they
gonna do then, sir?

Spring up during the night?

There they are, Holly...
the Mountains of the Moon.

- Mr. Leo was right, sir.
- He was, thank heaven.

Giddap. Go on. Go on.

Come on.

Go on. Go on. Giddap,
you great hairy thing.

Hello. We seem to have a
reception committee, sir.

And I don't like the
look of their chairman.

They're stealing the camels, sir.

Stand still, Leo, I want to
have a look at that arm.

Why didn't they finish us off, Holly?

I've absolutely no idea.

But without our camels, ammunition,

and equipment, we're not
much better of being alive.

- Job, see if they dropped any water bags.
- Sir.

How long do you think it
will take, Leo, by foot?

A long way. But we'll make it.

I wish I could be as sure as you. How could
you possibly know that we'll make it?

I just feel it.

I just know.

Not a drop of water anywhere, sir.

Then we'll just have to make
do with what we've got.

Come on. Let's get away from here.

Ayesha.

Ayesha.

Ayesha.

Ayesha?

Ayesha?

No, my Leo. It's I, Ustane.

And when I saw you leave the house,

I knew that they expected
you to undertake this journey.

And I also knew that I had to
follow you, to be near my Leo.

I have never been far away.

But who are they, this...

woman Ayesha and
the man you call Billali?

Tell us, Ustane.

They come from the city of Kuma.

Then it does exist.

As a child, I lived
there with my father.

I was being trained to
become Ayesha's handmaiden.

Then...

one day there was an outbreak of fighting.

Many officers were arrested.

All were put to death.

All except my father.

He was given the lowest position
to be held by a citizen of Kuma,

Overseer to the Amahagger.

The Amahagger? Who are they?

The tribe of slaves that live within
the shadow of the Ethiopian head.

- Slaves to whom?
- To Ayesha.

But why, Ustane?

It has been so for all time.
That's all I know.

Ustane...

does this map mean anything to you?

Yes.

It shows the way to
the city of Kuma.

So it's all true.

And I shall live to see it.

Sir?

This is a great moment, Job.

Yes, sir. If you say so, sir.

My Leo, you must not go on.

Turn back now.

- I have food and water, enough for all.
- No, Ustane.

It's no question of turning back.
I must go on.

There is nothing there but evil and death.

Go back to the world outside.
I will come with you.

Come on, Holly. We're
on the homestretch.

I've never seen a man
with such determination.

I wonder what it is
that keeps him going.

Well, whatever it is,
sir, wish I had some.

Pack up, Job. We don't
want him to get there first.

He'll only pinch the
best apartment.

I shouldn't worry too much, miss, he's a
very headstrong young man is our Mr. Leo.

I'm glad I'm not an
educated man, sir,

If that's what makes you go of
on a damn fool search for lost cities.

Isn't that exactly what
you're doing, Job?

Well, yes, sir, but I'm too
ignorant to know any better.

Mr. Holly...

He's very weak. He has
lost a lot of blood.

That arm.

Burning up.

- There's nothing to kill the infection.
- You reckon he'll be all right, sir?

An even chance, I'd say Job.

- Ustane, how far is your village?
- Only a few miles.

- But it's a difficult journey.
- Would they receive us?

Why aren't you sure?

Except for my father, they
are primitive people.

They know nothing of
the outside world.

Major.

Wait.

There's a sight to
warm your heart, Job.

As long as they don't start
trying to warm it over that fire, sir.

This is my father.

In the name of the
Amahagger, I welcome you.

My daughter tells me that you
are in need of rest and food.

The one she calls my Leo
has been wounded.

- What are they afraid of?
- You do not know?

How could I?

It is the face of your friend.

His face?

But why?

That's incredible.

- What is that?
- It is the symbol of power of She,

the Queen of Kuma.

Known to us as She
Who Must Be Obeyed.

Then this image must mean a great
deal to the queen. Whose is it?

It is the face of Kallikrates,
once high priest of Isis.

- Why did she choose him?
- That I do not know.

Your daughter told us that the Amahagger
are held as slaves by this queen.

What's to prevent them
and you from escaping?

She has an army of many soldiers...

of which I was once one.

Her wisdom is limitless,
her anger boundless.

Perhaps one day that'll be change for hate
is festering in the bosom of these people,

Hate which could become strong
enough to defy the fear they live with.

Already they begin to dispute my authority.
I cannot hold them much longer.

Then why do you try?

I have come to look upon
them as my own children.

I do not want to see them perish.

That's a pretty song, isn't it?

They've taken the coming of your
friend as a sign, a sign of deliverance.

You mean they want
him to lead them?

They believe the gods will lead
them if they offer up a sacrifice.

A sacrifice of great enough importance.

- Job.
- Yes, sir?

Take an arm. This is one party we'll
leave before it even starts.

- Come on, Leo, boy.
- Pleasure, sir.

Come on.

No..

Get some water, Ustane.

Once more these people have dared to ignore
the orders of she who must be obeyed.

I shall take 15 of the young men to appear
before her to answer for this crime.

No.

My name is Billali, high priest to Ayesha.
I have come to take you to the city of Kuma.

Please. Let me go with him.

Take them to their quarters.

You tremble, Billali.

A man who fears your wrath and does
not tremble is a fool, Oh, queen.

A man who does not fear your wrath and
yet does not tremble in your presence...

is not a man.

- You have reasons to fear?
- I fear for you.

- With what cause?
- The fair one.

His life hangs by a thread.

If he dies, then we will know for
certain that it is not he.

For it is written otherwise.

Yet it is strange, for has he not
survived the ordeals we set him?

That is true, my queen.

But we had not counted on the intervention
of Ustane, the daughter of Haumeid.

A mistake for which you should
pay dearly, Billali, and more.

You allowed her into the city.
Why?

Without her...

- I might have brought you only a corpse.
- Tell me of this.

She had a way with him.

To comfort him, to soothe him.

- You tell me her love has kept him alive?
- I spoke not of love.

Then you're blind and stupid.

Do not dare to test
my patience too far.

In my eyes, you hold no special favor.
High priests die as easily as other mortals.

I say only what must be said.

We must be rid of her.

I speak again, whatever risk to myself.

To be rid of her would
be simple, but unwise.

If you are to prevail, it is the fair one who
must banish her, who must turn against her.

He is a man of soul and conscience.

These you must destroy.

I misjudged you, faithful Billali.

There is wisdom in your words.

You will recover, Kallikrates.

For I know you are truly he.

And that which was written
long ago will be fulfilled.

Through the mountains of the moon.
A long and dangerous journey.

Everything you desire will be yours.

Power, riches, glory.

- And you?
- Everything you desire.

I never thought I'd
see that face again.

I'd forgotten how you
looked without a beard.

I'd have been buried
with it, but for you.

Can I ever thank you enough?

Can this really be the pathetic wreck we
brought here on the stretcher?

How are you, Leo? Good
to see you on your feet again.

- Fine, Holly.
- Ustane.

Hello.

I, I will go now.

You were quite right, sir.

He did get the best apartment.

Well, gentlemen, we made it.
We found the lost city of Kuma.

Well, if I may say so, sir, finding it
is rather like finding a tiger in one's bed.

- It's a very exciting discovery...
- Now, what the blazes do we do about it?

Finding an ancient ruin
or unopened tomb is one thing,

but a fully occupied city is quite another.

Apart from the discovery itself,
what else can we lay claim to?

You don't think, sir, they might be prepared
to hand over a few treasures for our trouble?

I doubt it, Job. But you can always ask.

- Yes, sir.
- Oh, Leo. I must tell you something.

There may be more in this
than any of us think.

This queen has a
symbol of her power.

It's a medallion with
a face inscribed on it,

- and that face is an exact...
- Hold it.

Billali.

A remarkable recovery, Mr. Vincey.

And now I think it is time for
your friends to leave you.

- You all right, Leo?
- Oh, sure.

Come along, then, Job.
We can do with some extra sleep.

Oh, but, sir, them beds are
as hard as rocks, sir.

- Which is precisely what they are.
- Well, that's the point, sir.

- I can't...
- Good for the spine, old man.

- Let me return this ring to you.
- No.

It's no longer necessary, for
now it is rightfully yours.

- Rightfully mine?
- Look at it.

Does it not carry the insignia
of the high priest of Isis?

Yes.

- But how does that make it mine?
- It was once worn by Kallikrates.

- It shall be worn by him again.
- But he died over 2,000 years ago.

Yes.

And I've spent the years since his death
waiting for him to return to be my love again.

My only love.

And I have not waited in vain.

Are you asking me to believe
that you have lived for 2,000 years?

Am I not here?
And are you not Kallikrates reborn?

- You ask me to believe too much.
- But it is true.

And you will believe.

Come.

Sit down.

Do you remember your death, my love?

My death?

The death of Kallikrates,
High Priest of Isis.

Close your eyes.

Float back on the sea
of time, and remember.

Remember.

Remember.

The encampment...

is on the banks of the Nile.

The night is cool.

A smell of soft perfume fills the air.

The moment...

is one of love.

I see Ayesha.

I feel a sudden pain.

And I die. I die.

You see?

You do remember.

The knife...

was in your hand.

2,000 years ago.

I cannot believe.

It's not possible.

Time, my love, is but a sea eternal.
We drown in it many times.

And are washed ashore again and again.
But I have never drowned in it.

I was given the secret of
eternal life and used it out of

- fear of losing you, Kallikrates.
- No, no.

I'm not Kallikrates.

I'm... Leo.

Leo Vincey. You must believe that.

It's enough for you now.

In the days to come,
there will be further proof.

By Jove.

Blimey.

They just don't make them
like that anymore, sir.

Come in, Mr. Holly.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to disturb you.

Please come in.

Why, thank you.

Who were they?

High priests, like myself, to Ayesha.

But with one difference, they are dead.

Will you tell me something?
This woman, Ayesha...

Why do you all do her
bidding without question?

It has always been so.

But why? She's only a woman and alone.
You are men and many.

And like all men, we are born,
we live a span, and we die.

But she has been here forever.

She is like the mountains,
like the desert...

changeless, ageless...

deathless.

That I cannot believe.

In your fear, you have accepted
the impossible as truth.

No one lives forever.

And no one was born
to be the vassal of another.

You now feel this, too.
I've seen it in your eyes.

Your body does her bidding but
your spirit cries out to be free.

Is that not true?

Each one of us has his
own destiny to fulfill.

And yours, I suppose, is
to fill the next alcove.

I can't believe you're such a fool, Billali.

No, Mr. Holly.

I am not such a fool.

Ayesha.

Ayesha.

Any idea what this is about?

No, but we seem to be
the guests of honor.

Oh, you mean like Mr. Leo was
at the Amahagger village, sir?

Bring those who dared to
break my laws before me.

You are aware of my orders.

That all strangers are to
be brought unharmed to me.

You disobeyed these orders.

You prepared to sacrifice
one of these strangers.

I am She Who Must Be Obeyed.

There is only one penalty for
those who do not choose to obey.

A lesson in obedience.

Teach them.

- We must stop this.
- How far do you think we'd get?

Don't forget, sir, they were gonna
take a knife and fork to Mr. Leo.

Go.

I wish to be alone
with our guests.

Come.

There is something
I wish you to see.

- Was that barbaric execution necessary?
- It was necessary.

- In God's name, why?
- As a demonstration of my absolute power.

How else could I hold my soldiers and
these pathetic creatures as my subjects?

How else but by instilling
fear and terror into their very souls?

But nothing is gained
by fear and terror.

Is your world so much better?

Your world, where men kill each other
in the millions in the name of freedom?

Your world, that has not long to live.

A few decades only before
it destroys itself.

Then...

what will be left?

I will show you.

This will be left.

A complete Egyptian city.

I can't believe it, sir.

Was there ever a greater
civilization than the Egyptian?

And where did it end?

In this volcanic crater.

But my world will not end.

It will begin again...

here.

And you will be its queen.

You're not the first person in history
to have such a dream of supreme power.

And I don't expect you'll be the last.

Leave us now.

Yes, ma'am.

- Is there nothing I will not forgive in you?
- Nothing.

Tell me how it was with us and
how you found this place.

My punishment for your death was to be
banished to the desert with my followers.

After months of wandering and near
to death, we met an old man, a mystic.

He brought us here, where we
multiplied and built this city,

Then watched it fall into decay
after the plague had come upon us.

Then all these people,

they have lived with you
through all the years?

No.

They have lived and died, as mortals do.

The old man who came out of the desert
showed only me the secret of eternal life.

He knew that I was the one in the world
chosen to partake of that life magic.

- And now there will be another.
- It's still possible?

Do you think I would
have waited for you endlessly,

knowing that you would be taken
from me again after a few brief years?

Come.

I will show you what no other
living mortal has seen.

The flame of eternal life.

See how the tread of my feet
has worn the stones away?

No one else comes here
or knows of this?

A few know.
The high priests through the ages.

But none dare to enter.

They know it would lead
them only to their death.

Do not be afraid.

It will not affect you.

Until you walk into it
and bathe in the flame.

Walk into it?

The heat is scorching me now.

You are right.

To enter the flame now would be suicide.

But there are times when
the flame turns cold.

And such a time will
come shortly for you.

Might it not be better to take
things as they are, as we find them...

- you and I as we are now?
- No.

To take me now would lack complete fulfillment
We stand each side of a barrier...

you in your world of change
and decay, I in immortality.

Be patient just a short while longer.
Then cross that barrier to me.

We shall be together for all time.

Ayesha and Kallikrates.
As it was meant to be.

- Wouldn't you, Holly, if you had the chance?
- I suppose there's a time in everyone's life

when the idea of immortality
seems very desirable.

Now, at my age, I'd have to
give it a great deal of thought.

What's age got to do with it?

- You'd stay as you are.
- That's not what I meant, Leo.

What one would
accept eagerly at your age

doesn't necessarily have
the same appeal at mine.

It's the age of the mind that's
important, not the body.

You're young.
You're still on the threshold of life.

The joy of living is not to be denied.

But to know that it will be there
for all time, without change?

Life at a standstill...

is not quite the same thing.

- Have you ever been in love, Holly?
- Many times.

And truly, once.

Would you then have hesitated?

Without doubt, no.

But I might have lived to regret it.

See, a deep, sincere love will last most
people a lifetime, but even that changes

from the frantic yearnings
of its beginnings...

to a quiet, unspoken
understanding at its end.

The physical side of human love
wasn't designed to last forever.

But her love for me was.

It's already outlived the span of 50
lifetimes. Why shouldn't it go on?

And your love for her?

Perhaps that, too, has stretched
back through the ages.

If you believe that,
then maybe I'm wrong.

But it must be your decision, Leo.

And if you do accept...

I only hope you never
live to regret it.

It's hard to believe that
those crumbling ruins

are all that remain of what
was once a great city.

It can be made to rise again.

With you as its master?

Its ruler, its king?

- And Ayesha its queen?
- Perhaps.

- Is that what you want, my Leo?
- How can I know?

No man in the history of the world has
been faced with the choice I face.

If you love her enough, you
will do as she wishes...

as I would do whatever
you asked of me.

You realize there is evil in her.

- Still, you desire her?
- Above all else.

If it were only your love for
Ayesha that keeps us apart...

I will be happy to remain in
your shadow and ask no more.

She has bewitched you with
promises of power and grandeur.

While I can but offer you my heart...

and unending loyalty.

I know that these are
not enough for you...

so I must leave.

But my love will never die.

And I shall carry your
memory with me forever.

Where will you go?

Back to the Amahagger.

A simple people with simple beliefs.

Yet they're stronger by far
than anything that exists here.

Goodbye, my Leo.

Ustane.

- No.
- My god.

No.

- No.
- No.

What are you doing?

She saved my life and it's done you no
harm. Why should you want to kill her?

I'll be rid of her.

If you really believe he
is Kallikrates reborn, then remember.

Your jealousy and cruelty robbed
you of his love once before.

Are you prepared to
take that risk again?

No, Holly, I'm not prepared
to take that risk.

That is why she must die.

This savage has tried to take from me
that which is mine, has always been mine.

He is still a mortal man
this side of your barrier.

Kill her and prove to him that you're no
better than a primitive savage yourself.

And I don't believe you'll ever
get him to cross that barrier.

If he is not prepared to accept
all that I now offer him in atonement,

then let him be truly revenged.

For the greatest of all
wrongs that I did him.

Bring me the dagger.

With this, I struck you down.

And only this can end my eternal life.

Here beats my heart.

Be avenged in full...

and save the life of this savage.

Are you so certain now, Holly?

Look at him.

He is no longer the man you knew.

He is nothing.

But he will become a man again.

You and your servant will
leave my kingdom forever.

Come.

Leo.

We've lost him, Job.

He's lost forever.

You knew I couldn't do it.

I had to know that nothing, absolutely
nothing would stand in the way of our love.

When, Ayesha? When?

When the light of the new moon strikes the
flame and you Kallikrates, stand before it.

Then and only then will
the flame grow cold.

- Your decision is made?
- Yes.

- But I'm afraid.
- Of what, my love?

That I am not truly he...

and that the flame
will not grow cold.

How can you still doubt?
You are Kallikrates.

And I will show you the final proof.

It is true.

I can no longer doubt.

The poor, empty shell that
once was Kallikrates,

High Priest of Isis,
Lord of the Lions,

You have served your purpose in keeping
alive his image in my heart.

Go to rest. For now you
have returned to me.

Holly?

I've come to say goodbye.

Is there nothing I can say to
make you change your mind?

No, Holly. Nothing.

I want you to have this.

It will prove that the crowning
moment of your life...

was no lie.

Thanks.

Goodbye, Job.

Take care of the major.

Yes, sir. Of course I will.
Goodbye, Mr. Leo.

Goodbye, Holly.

All my life, I've dreamed of
finding a city such as this.

But now that I have...

I'd like to see it
destroyed and all it stands for.

Let's go home, sir.

She who must be obeyed
returns your daughter to you.

A warning to all who
choose to displease her.

- It won't be the same without Mr. Leo, sir.
- No, it won't.

Thank you.

It's not that we haven't
been happy here, but...

well, we've got a long
way to go, you know.

Leo. They'll kill him.

- The time is near.
- I'm ready.

Look. The time has come.

Now, my love. Now.

- Don't be afraid.
- He will always be afraid.

- How dare you enter this place.
- I've served you faithfully my entire life.

- Have I not earned the right?
- You have no rights. Get out.

No, my queen.

I have but to enter the
flame to become as you are.

Who are you to say that I,
less than any other man...

have not earned the right
to become immortal?

Only he can enter, for he is Kallikrates.

He is but a face,

a face that I chose in the image
of the one that you worshipped.

But he is still only as other men.

He is able to die.

Job.

Job.

- Job.
- Yes, sir.

Leo?

We will enter the flame together.

No, Leo.

What happened, Holly?

For god's sake, what happened?

There can only be one answer.

The second time into the flame, the
fire takes away what it had given.

And me? What about me, Holly?

I loved her.

And now to live forever
without her, no.

The flame. Be back in the flame, Leo.

Leo.

Don't..

It'll come back some day.

- When, Holly? When?
- That, I can't tell you, Leo.

But you wanted immortality.

When it comes back,
she'll find me waiting.
