Previously on Theodosia... Here. Hemiunu himself.

My Hemiunu?

The flail you used to imprison me...

..where did you hide it?

Hello, Lavinia. Seurel?

He left this behind.

SHE GASPS

The flail of Hemiunu.

Somehow, Hemiunu used the flail to trap Aapep in here.

I will leave you in peace.

Let me show you what a god can do.

You will turn your cousin to dust.

With the strength of the mountains,

grant me the power to smite my enemies!

Thanks for letting me go. You have to stop him, Theo.

He'll destroy everything.

There's a mark on the back of his neck.

Hit him there with the flail and he'll be weakened.

Tomorrow will be the last sunrise.

Let the dark swallow the light!

Argh!

Red sky in the morning, Serpents' warning.

Granny has the flail.

Her telegram says she'll be here soon.

When Aapep attacks, we'll be ready.

Sorry to put a dent in your rousing speech -

which is excellent, by the way -

but you... you don't have the sistrum?

No sistrum, no restoration spell.

Push him down the well, he'll slither back up.

I made this last night with the piece you found me.

It's as good as new. We can still do this.

Will, go to the entrance, keep a look-out for Aapep.

You two get the sarcophagus into position.

What are you going to do? Have a lie-in?

I want Mum and Dad out of the way.

I don't want them here when Aapep arrives.

SHE SIGHS

OK, let's get to work.

Dad, a messenger just arrived with this.

Ah, thank you. I'll read it after breakfast.

Nothing should interrupt a perfectly boiled egg.

Oh, well, he did say that it was urgent.

Let me see that, honey.

What is it, Mum?

The British Museum.

They want to see us straight away to talk about funding our next dig.

Well, this is a turn-up for the books.

We'd better get over there quick before Snowthorpe changes his mind.

This could be the best day ever.

Or it could be the last day ever.

Hold the ladder while I hang up this tapestry.

Sorry, I'm busy.

Busy doing what?

Mr Throckmorton asked me to... clean the windows.

Well, it'll only take a moment.

Unless you want me to check that story of yours, hmm?

Flipping heck!

DOOR OPENS

Sorry, sir, we're closed today.

What's happened to your face?

Where is the girl?

Please don't hurt me!

I call upon Ptah, creator god and constructor of all that is blessed,

make form from the formless.

Wait, you still can't do the restoration spell?

I thought you said that sistrum was good as new.

I didn't want to worry you, OK?

I can get this to work, I think. I just need more time.

That's what we don't have. Aapep is here!

Saffy, there's something I need to tell you.

Have I got oil on my face?

No, it's about me...

SHE SCOFFS

..and you. I...

BOTH GASP

Someone's been working out.

Looking for me?

You broke my spell on your cousin.

Do I get a special prize?

She betrayed your trust, threatened you and your family.

Why did you let her go?

Because I believe in giving people a second chance.

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

You think you're better than me?

I'm not afraid of you.

You will be.

I am stronger than when we last met.

Today, I will defeat Ra once and for all.

You can watch...

..as he's consumed by his own fire

and fills the sky with the last of his light.

Please don't blow up the sun.

We're really quite fond of it.

It's OK, guys, I won't let him.

The heka that flows through your veins is no match for mine.

You are not the first mortal to make that mistake.

Your kind have walked the Earth since the first sunrise.

Now...

..you have seen your last.

Grab something to help her! Leave her alone! Get back!

Do you want to fight? Fight us!

Catch me if you can!

You two, get the flail off Lady T. I'll help Theo.

Find us in the well chamber.

Going somewhere?

What do you think? I think he looks big.

On the count of three, we charge.

One, two...

Hey. HE CRACKS KNUCKLES

How are you doing that?

That was a clever trick, getting me back here.

But you have made a big mistake.

This was my prison for 4,000 years.

You can't hide from me in this pyramid.

I know its secrets.

Give up now and I may let you live.

- BOTH GASP - Will!

Ah! Your friend has come to help.

How noble... and futile.

I can't beat him without the flail.

Henry and Saf are getting it. We have to buy them some time.

OK...

OK, fine!

I'll turn myself in.

A wise decision.

You'll have to find me first.

Hey. Let's see how many corridors this thing really has.

Stop the carriage.

I think you have something for me.

I must thank you for bringing the flail to us.

We couldn't have found it without you.

You can't have it.

This belonged to my husband and now it belongs to me.

All those secrets he kept from you.

You must feel like your whole marriage was a lie.

I mean, did he even love you?

How dare you!

You know nothing of love.

You know only hate.

KRAIT GIGGLES

That's where you're wrong.

I love Aapep.

I'll do anything to keep him safe.

Last chance, Lady Throckmorton.

Give me the flail.

Over my dead body.

Oh!

Tempting as that may be,

I do have other ways of getting what I want.

The light...

..it's so beautiful.

The flail, if you please.

SHE PANTS

SHE COUGHS

That's a lot of corridors.

Hemiunu really knew what he was doing.

He built an amazing tomb for Aapep.

Argh, and I set him free!

You had no choice.

I should never have given Nigella the key.

Theo, you saved your parents.

And now the whole world will end because of me.

OK, when you put it like that...

But don't worry, Henry and Saf will get the flail.

And if they don't?

What if they do and it doesn't work?

Come on.

That doesn't sound like the Theo I know and love.

Say that again.

I'm coming for you, Theodo-ssss-iaaa!

Just to be clear, that wasn't me.

Run! Aah!

Granny!

Krait. Granny!

I want to hate that woman,

but she's always so immaculately dressed.

We have to get that flail.

How? We can't even get out of this room!

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

The L word. You said the L word. Love?

We're doing this now? Why not?

Cos there's an angry snake god chasing us.

So? So maybe we should do this later.

You just don't want to talk about your feelings.

I just don't want to get eaten.

You can't hide from me, Theodo-ssss-ia!

Pathetic excuse!

You're ready? As I'll ever be.

SHE EXHALES

Hey, you!

Come back here!

Do you really think you're going to get your hands on this?

No, I am!

You were faking! But how did you...?

An amulet.

Given to me by my loving husband.

Throw it, Granny!

Catch it, Henry!

SHE GASPS

Safiya? Henry?

They didn't get the flail.

OK, we'll have to do it ourselves, then.

Going somewhere, Theodo-sss-ia?

The flask.

OK, you win.

This time, I promise I give up.

Too late now.

I might have let you live.

And do what?

You're going to destroy the sun!

WHISPERS: Hear me, ancients. With the strength of the mountains,

the secrets of the valleys... Speak up, child.

I want to hear your last words.

Mighty Horus, grant me the power to smite my enemy!

HE WHEEZES

Thank you.

I needed your heka to restore my strength.

He was playing us the whole time.

I don't care about you.

Mortals mean nothing to me.

I am Aapep, eater of the sun,

lord of chaos and the enemy of Ra!

No-one must stand in the way of his destruction.

What do we do now?

There's something we should've done a long time ago.

Hey.

HE LAUGHS

Hello, my good friend!

ECHOES: Ra!

Let the dark...

..swallow the light.

HE LAUGHS

What's happening?

It has begun. This time, there is no stopping Aapep.

He's going to destroy everything, you nincompoop!

Including you.

If this is the end,

there's no-one else I'd rather be with.

Y'know, it's funny because, when we first met,

I didn't think much of you.

Well, thanks for letting me know before the sun explodes.

No, I mean, it's funny because now I think about you a lot,

which is kind of annoying.

Why didn't you say anything sooner?

I thought we'd have more time.

Sorry I failed you. We all failed.

I just wish I'd been as strong as my ancestor, Hemiunu.

KRAIT GASPS

What's wrong?

I don't know.

It happened when you said Hemiunu's name.

Hemiunu.

Be quiet!

Hemiunu!

Silence her!

SHOUTS: Hemiunu!

Grab her. Go, Safiya.

Nice one, Granny!

Go! Go!

Oh, no, you don't!

How come we're free?

Something's changed his magic.

I think...

I think Henry and Safiya have the flail.

He doesn't know it yet.

We still have a chance.

I need my sistrum. Sh, I'll get it.

Let the dark swallow the light.

But you can't do the restoration spell. I'd like to try.

Come on.

The dark swallows the light.

Stay back, you brutes!

You two are pathetic.

We'll use the lift.

Come back and fight, you cowards!

SHE GRUMBLES

LIFT GEARS GROAN

Oh...

SHE GRUNTS

Ha-ha-ha, that worked!

Right...

Oh, it's stuck.

It's stuck!

It won't budge.

Well, it has to. We can't carry this thing, it's too heavy.

BOTH: Yes!

Well, what's going on?

Erm, er... Thieves.

I trapped them in the lift.

I'll get the police.

N-no time for that.

Er... Follow me!

Come on, Clive, hurry.

Jump on it.

SHE GRUNTS

Must I do everything myself?

Ah!

There they are. Grab them!

Come on, Saf.

Where did those two go?

Focus on the job at hand, man. En garde!

Two can play at that game.

Don't touch the exhibits. Take that!

Yes. We made it.

So, which way to the well chamber?

How should I know?

I thought your great-great-whatever ancestor built this pyramid.

I wasn't with him when he did it.

So, left or right?

Let's follow the flail.

At last I can take my true form.

HE WHEEZES

He's growing.

HISSING

He's huge!

I need my sistrum.

We're going to need a bigger sarcophagus.

What do we do now?

Hit him with the flail, Safiya!

I can't see the mark on the back of his neck.

I'll try to distract him. Get ready, Saf.

Hear me, ancients!

There's the mark. With the strength of the mountain...

I've got you. ..the secrets of the valleys and the wisdom of the Nile,

mighty Horus, grant me the power to smite my enemy!

This is for you, Hemiunu!

HE ROARS

Let's get the rest of him in.

Push!

I'm pushing!

I call upon Ptah, creator god and constructor of all that is blessed

to lock this creature away forever!

Coming for you, Theodosiaaaa!

SCREAMS ECHO AND FADE

THUD

ALL: Yes!

There's something wrong.

Where did you come from?

My new trick. Do you like it?

Hate to break it to you, Miss Krait, but chaos isn't coming.

Your boss is well unhappy.

Yeah, he wants a word with you three.

I'd wait till he cools down in a few thousand years.

I threw the key in the desert. Good luck trying to find it.

It's a lovely, sunny day.

You should go out and enjoy it.

Or shall I call the police?

We're leaving.

I'll follow them out and make sure they don't steal anything.

I believe that Grandad would want you to have this.

SHE SIGHS

I... I understand now why he kept this a secret.

He was... he was trying to protect me.

I miss him so much.

This is our secret now.

I won't tell a soul, especially your parents -

they'd worry too much.

But you have to promise me to be more careful in future.

You got it, Granny.

It's Grandmother, if you please.

You know, you should keep that, Saf.

I saw its magic in your hands.

Did you feel it?

I, er... I think it'd be safer if you watched over it.

Well, that was an odd trip.

The British Museum said they never sent a message.

But your mother managed to talk Lord Snowthorpe

into funding our dig anyway.

Marvellous!

Back to the Valley of the Kings.

And this time, we won't be diverted to the Great Pyramid.

I think that's probably for the best.

I mean, there's nothing much more to find there anyway, is there?

Did we miss anything?

SAFIYA: Oh, not much, not much.

We were... we were just going to have some tea and cake.

Ah, tea and cake - splendid idea!

So, about what happened earlier...

What? When I caught the flail? Amazing, wasn't it?

No, I mean... Safiya!

So, what about now?

Well, hopefully, the Serpents will have found something else

to concern themselves with.

No, I mean, what about us?

Kind of noticed you...

..tried to kiss me earlier.

Oh, so you did notice that?

Are we going to talk about it?

Well, we could talk about it or...

..we could do it again.
