02x17 - The Fog

[bunniefuu]

Previously with Theodosia:

The magical oasis is damaged.
The weather is not stable.

A god built a machine
that stops time.

And one part of it is the opal?
- One of many.

The wheel of Akoris. Powerful enough
to blot out the sun.

Darius!
Hello, Theo.

* Groan *

I'd make a good pickpocket,
I wouldn't be so honest.

* Exciting music *

Just as you like, Theo.
Then we'll play.

* Rattling, mysterious music *

* Shimmering *

* Shrill sound, mysterious music *

* Rattling, hissing, shimmering *

* Music ends. *

* Tinkling, dreamy music *

Theodosia

Will
Henry

* Adventurous music *

* Powerful music *

* Music fades slowly. *

The antique dealer says,

the story of the time machine
is just a fairy tale.

An ancient love story
and nothing more.

Walida has confirmed to me
that the machine exists.

And Darius tries
to reconstruct them.

That is so cool.

The time machine. Not Darius.

It was destroyed for good reason.

She has brought the magical oasis
out of balance.

And that's why
the weather is going crazy.

What will it be like
when he has activated it?

Then we'll prevent that.

Come on guys,
this time we can win.

[* Tense music *]

[* Shimmer *]

[* Music ends. *]

Yes, that's going to be a problem.

[sighs] The things that can happen,
when he has a time machine.

He can change the past.

To become the ruler
over the world.

I would look at new technologies
in the future.

There could be
there could be flying carriages, right?

Yes, but no one is traveling anywhere,
because we have the Akoris wheel.

Walida says it is
an important part of the machine.

Darius will want to get it.

He won't find it.
I've hidden it well.

Let's hope so.
That will decide our fate.

* Tense sounds *

* Eerie sounds and noises *

* Curious music *

Oh, what about
about your picnic in the park?

We've never had fog like this before.

You can't even see
the hand in front of your eyes.

Let alone the sandwich.
- We will postpone.

We are alone today. Picnic
in the lounge? No one will see you.

What a beautiful idea!

If you don't mind. More
for us and less for the pigeons.

And don't be shy,
to use the gramophone.

I know that,
how much you both love to dance.

Thank you very much.

* Cheeky music *

* Music ends. *

There's a fire out there!

Doesn't smell like that.
I think it's fog.

That's not possible.
The sun has just shone.

It's getting crazier and crazier.

Darius is currently
building the time machine.

* Crackling, creaking *

Oh.
A great carnival costume.

I don't think that's a costume.

I have the armor in a...
With William the Conqueror.

That was almost 1000 years ago.
He's not going to...

Coming from the past?

* Soldier speaks French. *

[Is that French?

Translate.

Where am I?
In England.

Angleterre.
- No! You are lying!

Quiet, soldier!

* Excited shouts *

[whispers] Get out of here.

* Astonished sounds *

How did you do that, Will?
That was brilliant!

Uh, a magician
never reveals his tricks.

Oh, that was a magic trick.
- Yes.

And that was nothing
compared to yours, Josie.

It's like being in the laundry room.
I wouldn't go outside.

Someone has just
threw this spear at me.

Guys, this is a Roman spear.
Then it's already 2000 years old.

This one looks brand new.
It's amazing.

It must have been the fog.

Perhaps he brings people
from all centuries.

Completely crazy.
The soldier came with the fog.

As long as the fog stays out,
we are safe here.

So we stay here,
until he leaves?

Then let's make ourselves comfortable,
folks!

Perhaps Darius
planned exactly that

and is currently searching the museum?

Crap!

Stop! Stop!
I have magic, nothing will happen to me.

You wait here,
don't let anyone out

and watch out,
that no fog gets in.

* Dramatic music *

Be careful!

* Music ends. *

* Energetic knocking *

Come in, please!
Escape the fog.

* Growl *

* Frightened sounds, growling,
chain rattling *

Theo!

That was a Viking.
What's going on here?

For centuries, London was
fiercely contested for centuries.

Apparently the fog
brings back the warriors of old.

We can't let him in.
Good.

Good.

Goodbye.
- Thank you.

I wouldn't go out there.
You can see almost nothing.

Yes, in here
it's also a lot more fun.

It's best to tell them
that the fog is dangerous.

It's best not to threaten people
with a spear.

Has there ever been anything so crazy?

Honestly, since Theo has magic,

I've seen a lot of
crazy things.

I think the weirdest thing was...

[* Screams *]

That sounds pretty crazy.
Not as crazy as...

[* hissing *]

[* Loud scream *]

You're joking, I hope.
I wish.

That was creepy.
Scarier than...

[* Groan *]

Yes, that was scary.
The soldier too.

Hopefully Theo
arrived safely at the museum.

Why do you say that?
Now I'm worried.

Nothing will happen to Theo.
She can defend herself.

Now I feel better straight away.

We don't have to worry,
as long as Darius doesn't show up.

Well, I should have
I shouldn't have said that.

Did you say,
Darius is back?

No, Theo and Will thought
they had seen him at the market.

But he wasn't at school.
So it wasn't him.

No need to panic, Josie.
I know.

Only, the last time I saw him
the last time I saw him...

[* Shimmering, washing *]

We should talk about it.
No.

I don't want to know what you
and I mean it.

Forget it.

[sighs] Poor Josie.
She's quite a mess.

Yes, for her Will was
something like Prince Charming.

That's over now. She thinks it's good,
that we're just friends.

What does that mean?
What does it mean?

Well, those looks just now.
There weren't any.

Not a single one.

You both think
she's still in love with me?

Here we go again!

She is obviously
still in love with you.

I think,
even more than before.

[Can you show me
some of your tricks?]

[If you show me
show me some of yours].

[My name is Josie.
I'll see you later.]

[And our game is called:
Dream Partner].

[Who you fish out, that's who.]

[Mine is: Will!]

[Here, it's delicious.]

[* Soft music *]

What makes you so sure?

There are stages all over the city,
where she could perform.

But it always ends up here.

She is so good. She could
fill entire auditoriums in the West End.

Thank you.
I'm just saying.

Now that Darius is back,
she might think that you...

... will soon be available again.

Theo is not leaving me
for this evil shapeshifter.

Hm.
Or is it?

Of course not.

Only, Josie doesn't know
the truth about Darius.

Maybe you have to tell her.
Oh, she doesn't want to know.

We respect that.
I envy them a little.

Oh, come on! I bet you
already have a headline in your head.

No, I didn't!

I can't write about it.
You know that.

If I could, she would be:
"Attack from the fog".

I like it. What do you say, Will?

I think ...

I should go and see
how Theo is doing.

Will, wait!

We should have kept our mouths shut.
We were far too timid.

Wait! Stop!

And another one leaves.
We really suck at this job.

Well, at least we're still here.
That's something.

A bit silly to eat on the floor,
when there's a wonderful table.

But then it wouldn't be a picnic.

That's what we wanted:
a picnic in the park.

I think
you just like to say picnic.

* Waltz from gramophone. *

Shall we dance?
Here under the oak tree?

And then comes the picnic?
- Oh, the picnic will follow.

* Romantic waltz *

* He whispers step numbers. *

An Egyptian god
has invented a time machine.

[sighs] I know,
how that sounds.

He wanted to be
to be with a mortal.

No love is for eternity.

You wouldn't want the same for you and mom
want the same thing?

It's not about
how long life lasts,

but how you fill it in.

Are you angry with me?
No.

No, but Walida
and her influence on you.

But from her I learn
everything I need to know about magic.

You're already really good.
What else do you need them for?

Um. Good, my a*s.

[Hear me out, ye gods.]

[* Magical sounds *]

.

[How do we
fix this?]

[Does this thing have evil magic in it?]
[A harmless, dear mutt.]

[* Eerie sounds *]

[Where is Anubis?]

[A fearsome dog
roams around the camp].

[* Barking *]

[Theo, Honey,
where does this mess come from?]

[I have to say!]

[Oh no, look at that,
what happened because of you!]

[Give back the form to the formless.]

[* Magical sounds *]

[She can still do it.]
[She can.]

[Um, maybe not after all.]
[Oh.]

I still have a lot to learn.

And isn't that the point?
how you fill your life?

That's just my way.

I just want to...

I just want
that nothing happens to you.

Yes, I know that, Dad.

* Emotional music *

* Casual music *

* babble of voices *

So, Josie, listen,
I have something to tell you.

Josie, there's something
you need to know.

Can you make
make a real bird out of it?

If you watch the show,
you'll find out.

What is this?

A magician never reveals his tricks.
Will says that all the time.

Yes, and I learned a lot from him.

Hey, Josie, there's something
you should know.

Don't.
I'm finally over Will.

And I don't want to go back
back to that point.

I'm only interested in the magic.

Comm.

For Maya.

Uh, we're just friends.
Hm, like me and Will.

* Romantic music, babble of voices *

What did she say?

We are just friends,
they are just friends - like us.

How do you manage that? The ball
flies higher and higher with you.

Off the cuff. Like this.

Hm, are yours made of rubber?

Ha, it's hard to understand,
because you're a boy.

You can only try to
overcome your weaknesses.

I ... do my best.

Are there any battles to be
be replayed today?

Not that I know of.

Uh, why? What did you see?

First the guy who threw a spear
threw a spear at me.

And now this woman is standing in the fog,
disguised like Boudicca.

Boudicca.
Never heard of it.

Of course, who led the army
against the Normans.

You mean the Romans.
Then you do know them.

I vaguely remember.
Good.

She comes at me,
with a sword like that.

Roars like crazy.
- What did you do?

Threw the garbage at her,
and I was gone.

Should I report it to the police?
I wouldn't do that.

Ah...

Like you said,
it's probably just a costume party.

She just got carried away.

Sam, can we order?

Good. If you see them,
you say that wasn't funny.

Let's be honest,

Keeping people here,
is not our strength.

We should go and find out,
where the fog is coming from.

What should we use to defend ourselves?
We don't have magic.

Has that ever stopped us?

But so far it's always ended,
that someone has to save us.

Not always.
But almost always.

Let's find the origin of the fog,

we also find Darius
and the time machine.

Finding Darius
would be a k*ller.

But who then
the gaming room?

Would you like to be the babysitter
for these people

or would you rather save the world?

That was mean, honestly.

* Bold sounds *

That's how it should work.
Yes.

* Laughter in the background. *

The picnic
seems to be going well.

Let's hope they stay in,
until the spook is over.

* Ominous sounds *

No, Dad!
The fog is coming in over there.

Another Viking!
Behind me, Theo! Behind me!

* Roar *

Stop, stop! Wait! That's Will!
Excuse me.

How did you get in here?
The door was locked.

With the key under the mat?

Oh, I'm sorry, Will.
I'll take this away for a moment.

Excused.

* Steps move away. *

How did you recognize me?

I recognize your gait
with my eyes closed.

'Sorry,
but I wanted to check on you.

That's what I thought. That's who you are.
My protector.

That was a bad idea.
That's what you always say, Henry.

And I'm always right.

* Ominous sounds *

Someone is coming.
Hide! Quickly!

* Steps *

The game room is that way.
I thought we had a date.

Just a game. You want it too.

You're a bad influence,
Henry Throckmorton.

That was weird.
Yes, because we would never...

I know.

And what was that then?
Perhaps our future selves.

That would mean we...
Do you think we'll ever...

No!

And you?
No. We're just friends, right?

Friends.

[You ask a lot of questions.
Why don't you become a journalist?]

[I didn't want to pester you.]

[But you need that.]
[What?]

[Welcome to the Maple Gazette.]

[Do you already know
the new paper dumbbell?]

[And this is the wine press.]

[Why are you so stubborn?
You're not interested in the truth!]

[You just want the big story,
no matter who you hurt].

[Sorry, this morning's.
You're not selfish.]

[And you are not an arrogant
simpleton].

[I probably didn't say that
out loud].

[Mr. and Mrs. Preston.]

[This is us.]
- [Welcome.]

[I love you, sweetie.]
[I love you too, bear.]

[* Playful music *]

Shall we keep looking?
Absolutely.

Everyone knows about the magic
everyone knows now.

Probably.
But do they believe what they see?

When they
stand before William the Conqueror.

They think like Henry.
That someone has disguised themselves.

Are you sure?

It's easier to believe,

than a time machine
influences the weather

and magical fog.

Yes, you're probably right.

* Groan *

So.

Good, that should keep the fog
outside.

And hopefully Darius too.
It doesn't have to be.

He never finds Akoris' wheel.
Where did you hide it?

* Thoughtful music *

I think it's safer
if you don't know.

Very good. I'll check the windows upstairs.

I don't want
that we have secrets.

Especially not
when it comes to Darius.

He means nothing to me, Will.
Do you understand? I swear.

That's what I thought at the time.

[Theo is extraordinary. And she
deserves someone who recognizes that].

[Wait, I'm coming with you.]
[No, far too dangerous.]

[Then why is he allowed to go?]
[Darius has magic.]

[[groans] Ah, my hands are burning.]
[All good. Take a deep breath.]

[With me ... And off.]

[There's nothing between Theo and me.
Even if you think there is.]

[I wouldn't do that to her].
[At another time?]

You must not
be manipulated by him.

That's exactly what he wants.
I'll try it.

All right.

You and I stick together. You and
me. That's how we'll fight him.

You are right.

We can do it.

* Waiting music *

* Ominous sounds *

[Fog rising from the ground,
I've never seen it before].

[This is no ordinary fog.]

I had a vision
of Henry and Maya.

And ... they know,
where the fog comes from.

* She coughs. *

Theo?

Will?

* Frightened sounds *

Theo!

* Suspenseful music *

Theo!

Will!

Ah, have you seen Theo or Will?
- No, what's going on?

[stammers] Oh, there's just the statue,
that I wanted to put away.

I'll help you quickly.
- Yes, me too.

Oh. What? No, no, that can wait.
Please continue your picnic.

You know, yes,
the statue stands there perfectly.

Just forget it.

Is this confusion
normal for him?

Not at all.

I think he misses Henrietta.

I am so glad
that you're not in Cairo.

Well, that wouldn't have been a picnic.

So.

We are no closer to his hiding place
not one step closer.

Unless Darius
has shrunk by chance.

* Bubbling *

What is that?

Sounds like your stomach.
It doesn't make noises like that.

If you are hungry,

he sounds like a volcano,
that erupts at any moment.

Not true at all.

These are the clouds of fog.
You see!

* Marching steps *

Roman soldiers!
Come on, get out of here quickly!

And where to? I can't see anything!
Good point.

* Marching steps *

Are those your hands?
If they're shaking, then yes.

* Tense music *

I can't look.
Then don't do it.

All good with you?

* Relieved sounds *

* Magic sounds, rumbling *

Did you have fun?

Yes, heaps of them.
We've never been better.

Really enjoyed it.
Yes, we did.

* Relaxed music *

* Music ends. *

* Footsteps approach. *

What did you find out?
- You know about the time machine.

And they want to stop you.

* He laughs. *

Good luck with that, guys.

* Suspenseful music *
