Previously on Theodosia...
Hey, Theo.

You know, you cannot print that.

The world needs to know
magic is real.

I'm sure she'll be OK.

I'd like to report
two missing girls.

Clive Fagenbush.

So you believe all of this?

Yes, I do. Interesting.

It's an oasis. That's what Rameses
was searching for.

Then the oasis must be the answer.

They're on fire.

You could end up like them.

We get to the oasis and we do it
before the clay people do.

What are you doing?
You need to stop right now.

THEY SCREAM

Seek the one who watched
over your birth.

Theo, what on earth is going on?

This should keep us safe for a bit.

Done.

Finally cleared all that wax away?

Good.

Now come along to breakfast.

We have a lot to discuss.

Grounded?!

This isn't much of a discussion.

I want you home straight
after school

and no going to the Penny Arcade
for a week.

But I don't get grounded.

I'm not Henry. That was one time!

And how was I supposed to know that
the cake was Granny's birthday?

This gives me no pleasure, Theo,

but you went missing overnight.

SHE SIGHS
I wasn't missing.

I fell asleep in the library and...
And got locked in,

so you keep saying.

Even if I were to believe you,
it's still so very dangerous.

Anything could have happened to you.

Well, it didn't, did it?

Ooh...

Theo, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, you're burning up.

I need to go to school. You're not
going anywhere in this condition.

Please sit down.
I'm calling the doctor.

Urgh!

I can't stay here, Henry.

I have to stop Maya
from printing her story.

I'll talk her out of it.

This is serious.

If she tells everyone
what I can do...

ZAP!
Whoa!

Dad was right.

You can't leave the museum
like this.

Look, I'll deal with Maya,
I promise.

But you should get some rest

before your magic does
any real damage.

Hmm...

Her temperature's very high,
but I'm sure it's no more

than a cold.

Most likely the result
of her recent escapades.

Yes. That won't happen again,
I assure you.

Hmm. Well, I'll be back to check
on the child tomorrow.

Give her plenty of water
and keep her in...

...bed. Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

See? It's just a cold.

I'm fine, really.
Ah, ah, ah. You heard the doctor.

Bed rest. Come on, Dad.

We both have things
to be getting on with.

I said no, and I'm getting a little
tired of you constantly battling me.

Disobedience
isn't a good look on you, Theodosia.

OK. Sorry.

Hmm.

I'm not sure that word means
what it once did.

Now get some sleep.

I'll be back later.

DOOR CLOSES

Is everything all right?

Does everything look all right?

I'm missing W.
What, from the printing press?

Not from the press, Henry.
From the story.

Every credible story must answer
the five "W"s.

In this case, who hits Theo?

What? Clearly, she's some kind
of awesome mega witch.

Yeah, about that. Where? Egypt.

When? Yesterday. But why?

Why does Theo have all these
incredible powers?

Listen, you can't print the story.

I'm sorry, I can
and I will print whatever I like.

I've already had a lecture
from Elena about my disappearance.

I don't need another one from you.

But I'm trying to warn you.

Knowing about magic is dangerous.
Bad things happen.

Such as? I don't know.

How about a giant snake
or an army of mummies?

Plus, now there's these
creepy clay people.

Just the compelling
antagonist this story needs.

You are impossible.

Look, if magic really
is so dangerous,

people need to be informed.

Sorry, Henry.

The truth must be told.

You know what I think?

I think you're selfish.

Excuse me? You don't care about
telling the truth.

You just want some big story,
and you don't care who gets hurt

in the process.

I'd like you to leave now.
I've got photographs to develop.

This conversation isn't over, Maya.
Leave me alone!

SHE SIGHS

What's so interesting?

None of your beeswax.

"Modern educational methods."

Sounds kind of boring.

Well, fortunately, nobody asked
for the opinion of a child.

If you're after Theodosia,
that won't be possible.

She's under the weather.

Theo's ill?

With strict orders
of bedrest and no visitors.

Right. Well, tell her I stopped by.

LIGHT SWITCHES ON

Henry, I told you to leave me alone.

At least put the lights back,
you're ruining my photos.

Henry...

Henry, I wanted to talk
to you about Maya Linton.

Ooh, whatever she told you,

I'm sure there's a rational
explanation.

Relax, Henry, you're not
in any trouble.

I'm simply concerned
for Maya's wellbeing.

This recent disappearance
is unlike her, and I know

she can seem very sure of herself,
but she's had to be.

Especially having lost her parents
so young.

Wait. What?

Oh, I thought she would
have told you.

I was hoping I could count
on you to look out for her,

since you've been so wonderful
helping her with the newspaper.

Me? Mm-hm.

Yeah. Of course.

You're a good boy, Henry.

If I read the images in the sample
correctly, Rameses killed himself

by drinking from the oasis.

Without it, his heka was
burning him up -

literally.

Try to take it easy.

Thanks, Will...

...but if we don't get
to this magic oasis, I am done for.

How much time do we have?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm getting worse
with this temperature

and my unstable heka.

The oasis could be anywhere.

Egypt is a big country and the only
clue we have is,

"Seek the one who watched
over my birth."

Like, could that be any more vague?
It's OK.

We'll find the oasis,
but for now, we need another way

to keep your temperature down.

Well, I did find some promising
spells, but I'd like to get

to Dad's office to do
some more research.

Then that's what we'll do.

You're not alone, Theo.

Maya?

It's me.

I know you don't want to speak
to me, but I just came here

to say I'm sorry.

It's a lot to process, isn't it?

All this magic stuff.

But if you ever want to talk
about it,

or anything else...

...I'm a good listener, OK, Maya?

I'm coming in, all right?

Talk.

Hey. Ooh.

Apologies. I was just going to check
the exhibits.

That must be some book.

Haven't seen you without it
all morning.

Yes. A remarkable thesis, indeed.

Really?

Well, perhaps Eleanor Fremont
has some pearls of wisdom for me.

What does she advise when a child
no longer respects

her father's authority?

Er... Oh...

Well, that's assuming you've
actually made it

beyond the first page.
Yeah, no, of course.

Well, she says,

"Disobedience is a healthy part
of adolescence

"and traditional punishment is often
the worst response."

Huh.

"The wiser approach would be
to listen to the child in order

"to understand their feelings."

Hmm.

Interesting. Very interesting.
Really? Yeah.

There may be something to that.

But... But...
But isn't it utter drivel?

I mean, look at me.

If Mother hadn't punished me
the old-fashioned way,

I'd never have become the man
I am today.

Mm-hm.

Well, it can't all be like this.

Let's see...

Ah, this isn't...

Found anything yet?

No cooling spells, but there
is one for freezing water.

If I can adapt it, I can try
and use it on myself.

I don't want to be a party pooper,

but isn't that
ridiculously dangerous?

Says the daredevil escapologist
magician!

When's the last time we did
something that wasn't...?

No, I'm serious.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

Maybe there's another way.

Theo, you're supposed to be in bed!

I'm feeling much better now.

Well, that's not for you to decide.

The doctor told you to rest.

I told you to rest.

I'm sorry, Mr Throckmorton.
It wasn't my fault.

Will, please. Theo is capable
of making her own decisions.

In fact, these days she pretty much
does whatever she likes.

You think I like this?

Then help me understand.

Are you purposely trying to hurt me?

Not everything is about you.

Please! No need to fight.

Am I being unreasonable?

Wanting my daughter to be healthy,
to come home safe,

so I don't spend the night sick
to my stomach with worry?

That's not fair!

You make it sound like I go
missing all the time.

Once was more than enough!

What happened to you, Theo?

I barely recognise my little girl
any more.

Maybe I grew up, Dad.

I'm almost 16.

Exactly.

Still a child.

And if you had any idea
what this child has to...

You may think I'm clueless,

but I remember what it was like
to be a teenager, to want to rebel.

Stop!
TABLE RATTLING

Only I was never spiteful enough to
hurt the people who loved me.

Stop!
CERAMIC SHATTERS

HE SIGHS

That was an accident.
It was an accident.

Ah...

This mask was the very first
artefact

your mother and I found together.

SHE SIGHS

It... It... It wasn't me.

Oh...

I'm sorry. Truly.

Ground me for another week.
A month. No.

Elena's book was right -
what use is punishing you?

Just go back to your room, please.

Dad, please...
Just go back to your room.

Like I keep telling you, I don't
know the first thing about Egypt.

I've never even left England.

You lie.

If you really want the scoop,
you're going about it all wrong.

Have you even considered
the five "W"s?

I've already established
the who, where and when.

That's you guys, this room
and right now.

But I'm still fuzzy
on the what and the why.

So I ask, what is it that you want?

The Oasis of Magic.

See how easy that was?

Why do you seek the oasis?

The Eternal Flame. Right.

Remind me. What exactly or
who is the Eternal Flame?

Enough!

Wait!

I'll talk.

This is awful.

I never fight with my dad.

It'll blow over.
These things always do.

I'll still go on lying to him,
won't I?

I can't exactly say,

"It was the barge that made me
vanish overnight,"

or "I didn't break your
priceless mask. It was magic."

Hang on.

How were you feeling
when your magic played up?

You were angry, right?

Very. Why?

What about the other times that
happened?

Well, this morning when I set
that napkin alight,

I suppose I was frustrated.

I was... I was very frustrated.

I think this might be tied
to your emotions.

When you lose
control of your emotions...

I lose control of my magic.

Will, you're brilliant.

So all I need to do is stop
having emotions.

There's this technique Neville
Devlin taught me.

Magicians use it to stay calm

when they're dangling over a pit
of spikes

or about to be chained up
in a box underwater.

I'm listening.

Intense emotions make our
hearts race.

If we can control our heartbeat,

we control our fear...

...anger, anything.

And how do I do that?

Close your eyes.

Take a slow, deep breath.

HEARTBEAT RACING

Fill your lungs all the way
to the bottom.

HEARTBEAT RACING

Then as you breathe out, let go
of everything you're feeling.

SHE EXHALES

Just push it all away.

HEARTBEAT SLOWING

HEART BEATS SLOWLY

All right, I should go before I get
you in any more trouble.

Will, wait.

Thank you.

UNDER BREATH: OK.

Maybe there were some pyramids
or sphinx or something.

UNDER BREATH: OK.

Surprise!

Maya, where are you? Henry?

Wrong room, Henry!
Agh, my foot is stuck!

Run, Henry! They're coming!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Maya, they're here!

Stay away from me!

Henry?

At the risk of sounding
melodramatic, help!

Cheese!
CAMERA BULB FLASHES

What are you doing here?

What's it look like?
Rescuing you, of course.

What do we do?

There's an old saying we have -
run!

Hello. Good evening.
Hello, nice to see you.

Ah, Will.

May I have a word?

Sure, Mr Throckmorton.

I'll... I'll cut to the chase.

I'm worried about Theo,
and I think you are, too.

Do you have any idea why
she's acting out like this?

Have I done something to upset her?

I don't think it's anything
you've done.

It's... You should really talk
to Theo.

I thought I could hold the fort
in Henrietta's absence, but it seems

like I'm failing rather miserably.

Failure I can handle, though.

What I can't deal with...

...is losing my daughter, so

please give me something.

Theo's going through some
difficult stuff at the moment.

Sometimes I can help her,

but then there's some stuff
I don't even know about.

How do you cope with that,
the not knowing?

I trust her.

You know, maybe you should too.

Yes.

Well, I suppose for a first real
boyfriend, she could do a lot worse.

Bye, Mr Throckmorton.

Thank you, Will.

Ah, Clive. I thought you said that
book was utter drivel?

Er, yes, it may well be, but
it's the most beautifully written

drivel that I've ever
had the privilege to read.

Mm.

Why couldn't their first discovery
have been a nice, simple coin?

SIZZLING

SHE EXHALES

SHE SIGHS

OK.

Close your eyes.

Deep breaths.

HEARTBEAT RACING

HEARTBEAT SLOWS DOWN

Thanks for trying to save me.

It's nothing.
Thanks for actually saving me.

It's kind of scary, isn't it,

this whole magic business?

Scary is one word.

Terrifying is another.

I'm sorry about what I said
this morning.

You're not selfish. And you're not
an arrogant, hare-brained simpleton.

SHE CHUCKLES

I guess I said that part in my head.

Point is, I am sorry, though.

A good reporter would have heard
you out.

What do we do now?

I'm going to finish developing
my photos from Egypt.

That's if those clay creeps
haven't ruined them all. I see.

So you're still going to print
your story? Print it?

That's the last thing
I'm going to do.

What made you change your mind?

Bad people are after this
information.

I can't just serve it up
for the whole world to read.

Good point. We can't give
those clay people anything.

No, Henry, this goes higher
than them.

Something or someone called
the Eternal Flame

is after the oasis, too.

We have to warn Theo.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING

Theo, can't you do a single
thing I ask?

Sorry. I'll go straight to bed.

Wait.

The mask.

How did you do that?

Well, like any other restoration,

using the techniques
that you taught me.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I shouted.

No, no, no. I didn't realise...

I'm the one who should be
apologising.

The way I've been treating you
lately,

you don't deserve it.

And I really don't want
our relationship to change.

Then how about we do
what we've always done?

Talk.

Talk to me.

Erm...

I have felt that...

...I'm losing control of myself.

That there's a war raging between...

...the person I want to be...

...and something else.

I know that doesn't make any sense.
Well, you'd be surprised.

I felt the same way myself
once upon a time.

Really?

I remember feeling confused,
alone...

...burdened with all these...

...em... emotions I couldn't contain.

But I think...

...I think every young person goes
through this phase once they've...

...when they're... beginning
to change.

Right. Yeah.

Well, I...I guess this is... Um...

...sort of the same thing

and also completely different.

If you only could help me understand
just a... just a little bit,

I would... I would try to support
you.

No, I know and I know... I know
you would.

And hopefully, one day,
I'll be able to explain everything.

But for now, I just...

...I need you to know that
I'm still your little girl.

And I still love you.

I just hope that's enough.

OK.

I trust you.

You do? Wholeheartedly.

And whenever...

...whenever you're ready to explain,
I'll be here.

I'll always be here for you, Theo.

It's no use.

They took everything.

Wait a minute.
Have you checked the enlarger?

Look. It's Theo at the temple ruins.

But what are all those lights?

They weren't there when I took
the photo.

It looks like some kind of pattern.

Yeah, but what do you think
it means?

Honestly, I have no idea.

But it could just be the clue
we need.
