02x03 - Bugs and Kisses

[bunniefuu]

Previously... We have to hurry

before that barge destroys
the entire museum.

It's magically sealed.
I wonder what's inside.

You had a vision.
Where's the oasis?

I kissed Will and
rewired his whole memory.

What's your name? I'm Josie.

Oh, OK. THEY LAUGH.

We're going to school.
Welcome to Maple Sky Academy.

This is Darius. He'll give
you a tour of the school.

Maya Linton. Well, she
is the school paper.

I'm a seeker of the truth.

She's making fun of me because
I grew up in Egypt. Really?

Henry, what did you do?
Nothing! This fight is over.

Who is this?

No!

I saw your sister do something.
Something with her hands.

There's a story
here. I can feel it.

And I'm not going to stop
until I find out what it is.

It's still looking a bit battered,
but it's coming together.

Modest.

It looks amazing!

CREAKING

It looks amazing,
sounds really bad.

Definitely needs more... Oil.

You're a mind-reader.
A mentalist act.

We should so try one of those.

What am I thinking right now?

I've found the greatest
magician assistant ever!

More like, when's Josie
going to put those rings on

to help me with this thing?

RINGS CLINK

h*-oh!

SHE LAUGHS That was so funny!

You know, it's so weird
that he can't remember you.

Please don't rub it in.
I mean, it's been days.

That must have been
some bump on the head.

SHE SIGHS It was a kiss.

Seriously?

Theodosia Throckmorton?

Sorry, Theo. I
tried to stop her.

Here you are.

Yes, I'm pretty easy to find.
We go to the same school.

Where you still haven't told me

what happened between you,
Henry, and the fencer.

I already explained that. You put
it in the school paper, remember?

Yes, but should I have?

Every time I think
about that story,

it feels like my stomach
is full of worms.

Oh, well, maybe you
should go see a doctor.

There's something going on.

Something that involves
you. Why would I...?

LIGHT RUMBLING

Can you feel that?

Whatever you're trying, I'm
insulted you think I'd fall for it.

No, seriously.

It feels like
somewhere there's an...

EARTHQUAKE!

How many times have I told you
not to rampage around my exhibits?

You're worse than
the earthquake.

Vibrations from work on the new
underground line, that's all.

If only the old place
had shock absorbers.

Oh, don't say that to Henry.

He'd only try and build some.

RUMBLING

Ew! Magical bugs. That's new.

Theo, could you... Sorry,
Dad, stuff to do. It's urgent.

Mind the exhibits!

High school. Ha!

You don't seem very impressed.

You know your story
doesn't make any sense.

For instance, the
magician. His name's Will.

You said he's your best friend
and your sister's boyfriend,

but I checked, he doesn't
remember either of you.

Oh, well, he had a... A
bump on the head? Mm-hm.

Seriously, Henry,
you're better than that.

People only get amnesia that
way in the halfpenny Marvel.

That's my favourite magazine.

And there's you fighting
that vanishing fencer,

not exactly normal.

Not to mention your sister
banging on about earthquakes.

Well, that's just Theo -
total drama all the time.

Look, there's no story. Honest.

You go red and
sweaty when you lie.

Did you know that?

Like you've swallowed
a big chilli.

Your sister's up to something,

and you're going
to tell me what.

I can't have magical bugs
roaming around the museum.

Nothing. OK, I could try...

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY

What is up with my magic?

Wax.

It's old-school magic but might
keep the bugs inside the barge.

RUMBLING, THUDDING

You know, we really ought
to try this thing out.

Hey, still needs more oil.
Don't want you getting hurt.

So you do care about
me, Will Morgan.

I like to keep my
assistant safe.

I'll be fine.

Behold, the wonders of the age!

A cabinet delved from
the long-lost tomb

in which the mysteries of
the ancients are buried.

Like it. We'll have the
punters flooding in.

And Sam will be over the moon.

I couldn't have done it
without you. You know that.

I'm glad you said it
before I had to remind you.

Makes a girl feel
self-conscious.

Well, come on, then!
Let's try this thing out.

Seriously, there's
no story here.

There's always a story
if you look hard enough.

Let's try again.

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY

According to you,
your sister was...

CREAKING Ow!

Saved by the screech? Pardon?

Look, someone needs
my engineering skills.

You're dodging my questions.

Stop! Stop!

Ow! It's a mechanical
emergency! But...

Ow!

It's stuck! No, not that way.

Oh, wow. Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Well, at least he wasn't
sawing you in half.

HENRY CHUCKLES

Sam! Hmm? What's
the quickest way

to the Museum of Legends
and Antiquities from here?

Oh, I missed a bit.

Ha! Not today.

TAPPING

You sure you want
him to do this?

I'd like to come
out in one piece.

He seems to know what he's done.

Engineering's kind of
my thing, remember?

Oh, wait. You don't
remember, do you?

You shouldn't encourage him.

Claiming your friends.

He's as bad as his sister.

I can hear you, you know.

Anyway, I reckon it's the runners.
Probably need some more oil.

Told you.

As long as the wax
stays, should be good.

Theo. TOOLS CLATTER.

Uh, sorry. I didn't mean to
interrupt whatever you're... doing.

No, it's fine. It's just
normal, boring museum stuff.

Um, what about you? Why are...?

Yeah. Why... why are you here?

Well, would you believe that I
actually like boring museums?

Oh! Don't tell
the fencing squad.

You swear not to tell
anyone my secret?

Sure. It's not like
I'm going to judge you.

This is my home, after all.

Of course. Yeah. You like?

Well, I mean, it's

it's no British museum, but...

Uh-oh, not good.

You're lucky my granny
can't hear you say that.

Seriously, it's amazing.

You have so many
beautiful things here.

Theo! You're supposed be sorting

those artefacts for
your mother, remember?

Need to get them off
to Cairo post-haste.

Ah. Hello.

Dad, this is Darius. Ah, yes.

Henry's mentioned you, the
fencing champion, was it?

Dad! Very impressive.

So good to see Theo making
friends at her new school.

It can be tricky fitting
in somewhere new.

You know what? You
should join us for lunch.

What? No, no. I mean, well,

Darius probably has things he
needs to be getting on with.

Thank you, Mr
Throckmorton. Really.

But Theo's right.

Oh, no, I insist.

It feels like an age since I had a
chat with one of your pals, Theo.

I mean, where's
Will got to lately?

Have you met Theo's boyfriend?

Uh...

Just... in passing. Oh. Pity.

He's an excellent chap. Excellent
chap, isn't he, darling?

Yes. So, you see, Darius,

we are short one excellent chap.

And you look the perfect fit.

So come along. Let's go
and see what's for lunch.

Come on.

What the...?

Vandalism!

That's what that is.

Oh!

Oh... Urgh!

I mean, Egypt.

You must remember Egypt.

It's a country. It's
hot. There's the Nile.

What is it with you
and your sister?

Will's never been to Egypt.

Also, can we get me out of here?

Starting to pinch.

OK. That should do it.

Oh, thank you.

Free at last.

Ah!

Now I'm afraid I'll have
to ask you to leave.

Can't give away
our magic secrets.

She's right.

Cheers for the
help, though, er...

Henry. It's Henry.

Ah. In that case, cheers, Henry.

HENRY SIGHS

What on earth?!

Caught you, you vandal! Er...

You can clear up that mess you
made around the barge, too.

But I just got here. Oh, yes?

What are you doing mucking
around with Sir William, then?

It was an accident.

I'm here to see Theo.

I'm a friend.

Two friends in one day.

Theodosia.

Yes. People can have
more than one friend.

Anyway, they're at
luncheon. Great.

Living quarters that way.

Great.

Thanks.

So we all turn and there's
little Theo trying to look

as dignified as Queen Victoria
despite being covered in camel spit.

Darius doesn't need to
know this. Sorry, Theo.

I still say it was cute.

You ended up rather liking
that camel, as I remember.

What did you call it?

Um... Er... Sneferu?
Dad, Dad, Dad.

Sneferu. That's...
He Of Beauty, right?

Quite the name for a camel.

You know your ancient
Egyptian, Darius.

Quite the fellow you
found here, Theo.

Something the matter, dear?

What? No. No, no, no. No.

Actually, I did leave
something in my room,

so I'm just going to go and...

Honestly, darling, it'll
wait. We've got a guest.

And one far from home, too.

It must be rather a wrench
spending all this time over here.

Whole continent away. I mean,
at least when I went to school,

I went to school
in my home country.

But I still remember standing at
the train station with my mother,

ready to steam off
to school. That...

What are you doing?
They look better here.

Well, I'm not so sure.

Mm-hm. Yeah, yeah,
they definitely do.

OK, we're quite full now,
so we are going to leave.

Oh, well, how about
some ice cream?

Well, we can just
grab some fruit.

Oh, ice cream. Yes, ice
cream is a better idea.

I'll go and see what
we have for afters.

Really, Mr Throckmorton, thank
you, but there's no need.

I should be heading off.

It's Alistair. Alistair, please.

And do stay for a little bit longer.
It's always jolly to have company.

Oh, has Theo shown you
the garden, by the way?

Henrietta's always so
proud of it, you see.

Oh, yeah, Darius,
I didn't tell you.

Um... Mum's gone to Cairo.

Dad misses her more
than he lets on.

I'll be right back.

You were saying?

It's just a headache.

Don't tell me. They
kicked you out.

Need to work on their
trick, apparently.

Somehow I get the feeling
Josie doesn't like me.

Well, you know, maybe
she just doesn't realise

what an excellent
customer you are.

Speaking of which, can I
get you a bun with that?

JOSIE AND WILL LAUGH

She seems to like
Will, though. A lot.

Yeah, she does, doesn't she?

That's going to be
all kinds of awkward

when he gets his memory
back. You are not wrong.

Are you OK?

Mm. Yeah. Fine. Honest.

Apart from Dad's
embarrassing stories.

Actually, there is something
else I should check on.

I'll be back in a sec.

LOUD RUMBLING

Ah! Theo, what's the matter?
Should I get your father?

No, no, no, no. It's fine.

It's just a headache.

Oh, that noise.

Where's it coming from?

Oh, it's going right through me.

May I?

Ah, you're very hot.
We should get a doctor.

No, no, no. I mean, no,
no, it's fine. It's fine.

I'm fine. I will be.

SHE GROANS

Everything OK?

I must do something about those old
pipes before your mother gets back.

Or my mother, for
that matter. Ah!

Theo? What is it?

That noise. It's so loud.

What in the name of...?

I just want it to...

STOP!

I'm seeing things.

Overstress. That's what that is.

Become curator, Mother said.

Nice, quiet job, she said.

Well, not here, it isn't.

I'll get the broom.

Really, darling, there's no
need to be quite so loud.

Dad, what did you
do to the ice cream?

Don't change the subject! I
haven't done anything to...

Oh.

Oh. Right.

Perhaps we should skip dessert.

Yes. Yes, we definitely should.

Or we can just go to the
penny arcade to get ice cream.

Sam guarantees
they're dust free.

Seems like an idea.

Yes. Well, as long as you're
back in time to finish

packing the artefacts
for Cairo, Theo.

Yeah. And I'm sorry.

Sorry about the meal!

DOOR CLOSES

So sorry about today.

The place isn't usually like
this. I'm not usually like this.

Not if I can help it.
Don't worry. I've...

I've seen stranger
things in my time.

Thanks for lunch.

Thanks for pretending
it wasn't weird.

So, are we getting ice
cream, then, or...?

Oh, no, no, no. You go. Um...

I should help Dad get the
artefacts ready for Mum.

It always takes
longer than he thinks.

Well, in that case,
I better be off.

Oh.

One good thing.

No more noise.

Those pipes seem to
have fixed themselves.

Mm. I hope so.

So much.

JOSIE LAUGHS

All done for today?

Totally are.

Thanks again for the help.

Just having a soda with Sam.

More like eight of them.

If only all customers
were like that.

Now, what can I get you two?

Oh, come on, Will.

Read my mind. What do I want?

I'll just get back
to the pinball, then.

Unless either of you
two will miss me.

No, obviously not.

Right. What's the lady
having, then, Will?

Something expensive,
I'm guessing.

It looks like you're not the
only one with magic powers.

What are you doing in my room?
And how did you get that open?

There was a noise.
I went to help.

What have you got in
there? Some kind of animal?

That's cruel, you know, keeping
animals locked up in boxes.

Why would you do something
like that? Why would I...?

No, this is my bedroom.
I'm asking the questions.

Not until you tell me why
you've got this thing locked up.

It could suffocate.

Unlikely.

Seeing as it was never
breathing to begin with.

No, obviously not.

Mm.

But how was it rattling and why?

You're up to something.

Yes. Yes, I am.

I'm getting you out
of my room right now.

OK, OK.

But don't think I'm
giving up on this.

The truth will be told.

SHE SIGHS

It's exactly what I wanted.

How did you know? Genius.

Also the fact he
told me. Mm! Sh!

A true magician NEVER
reveals his tricks.

Here, try it.

Here! Catch! I'm Will.
You can call me Theo.

This is our friend.
Best trick ever!

I've always dreamed
of seeing Egypt.

Magic trainee. Put
your hands over mine.

You shouldn't be
doing it on your own.

This girl is different.

She's put a spell on you!

HE GASPS

What's...? What's going on?

What do you mean? It
was... It was just a peck.

I shouldn't be kissing... Theo.

I need to talk to her, explain.

Mate, are you OK?

Henry.

You know me. Of course I do.

Are you playing some kind of trick?
Because I really don't like this.

Sorry. Look, I'm so, so sorry.

I... I don't know what...

I really have got
to go, right now.

But...

Maybe I should go
check if he's OK.

Where?! Tell me!

Hey!

Who's paying for this?

Uh...

Um...

Here.

What on...?

You again!

Yes, me.

Sorry. Uh...

Leaving now.

Months of being locked up and
now you suddenly open. Why?

I feel like I've seen
your twin before.

But where?

RUMBLING

That's it.

An oasis.

ECHOING: You had a vision.
Where is the oasis?

The clay people.

Theo!

Theo, I remember now...

BIRDS CAW

MAYA WHIMPERS

THEO GASPS

What are you doing here?!

Where is here?
