02x13 - The Oasis of Magic

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Theodosia... Oh! It's
worse than you told me! It was you.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

You were just using me
to get to the Oasis.

There's something you need
to know about Theodosia.

He was born during the reign
of Ramesses the Second.

Darius stole the water and drank
it. It turned him immortal.

It was Darius! He can do magic.

He tricked you into thinking
it was me. I don't believe you.

The Ka door can take
you to the one you love.

Which symbol do I press first?
Quick, Henry! Don't rush him!

Theo's in danger! Look,
I'm trying to remember!

Ah! SHE SCREAMS.

CLANGING

I am Khnum, Father of the Oasis.

You have failed me. Prepare
for your punishment.

The Oasis of Magic must be
protected from those who

seek its power for themselves.

You let someone who is
not worthy accompany you.

I didn't "let him".

He tricked me.

You have Heka.

You should have known the truth.

Your feelings for him
have clouded your senses.

I didn't ask for Heka.

I didn't ask for any of this,

and I especially didn't ask
to be burned up by magic.

You are one of the chosen few.

It is a great honour.

CLANG!

I made a mistake.

I'm sorry. But

you're a god.

You can fix this.

Surely one as powerful as yourself
can stop Darius reaching the Oasis?

Only those who live in your
world can decide its fate.

I cannot stop what
you have started.

For this, you must atone.

Ah! Ah!

Aaargh!

Theo!

Henry's gone to fetch her.

She's in danger!

I'm sure she's fine, Mother.

I must go to her...

You need to rest.

Oh! Oh, there's so much
you don't understand.

SHE SCREAMS

Oh!

Ah, Granny! Help me!

Stop this! Stop this right now!

How dare you impede
this punishment!

How dare you bully
my granddaughter!

Silence! I am Khnum,
Father of the Oa...

Of the Oasis.

Yes, yes, I know who you are.

There's no need
to boast about it.

She's not the one who should
be punished! It's you!

Me?

She didn't mean that, Your
Greatness! A thousand apologies.

Please, stop arguing with
him! He's going to hurt you...

It's all right, my
dear, I can handle this.

Oh, no...

You've had 3,000 years
in which to punish

Darius for stealing the
magic from Ramesses.

This is your failure, not hers.

You will not speak
to me this way!

You don't like hearing
the truth, do you?

Answer me one question.

Has Darius reached
the Oasis yet?

No, but he is close.

Then I demand you give her
another chance to stop him.

You demand?

I...

respectfully request.

CLANG!

Your request is granted.

WHOOSH!

Oh, thank you, Granny.
How did you get here?

Well, my dear, I'm
not entirely sure.

Oh... But I'm glad I did.

Henry! I need to get to Theo!

I'm sorry. I can't remember
which ones I pressed.

You have to!

Think back to that day.

You were standing
here, you reached out

and pressed the first
symbol, which was...?

I reached out and pressed the
first symbol, which was...

I haven't got a clue! I
pressed them at random.

Mother? Mother?

I'm sorry, I have
to check on Granny.

Henry!

HAWK SCREECHES

I think your amulet saved me.

Oh, well, then you
should keep it.

Oh, no, no, Granny. I can't.

Grandad gave it to you.

I think where you're going, your
need will be greater than mine.

Oh... you're not coming?

I have to get back.

I've been gone too long already.

How badly did Darius hurt you?

Oh, don't worry about me.

You've got more important
things to be doing.

Nothing is more important
to me than you getting well.

Ooh.

Oh!

SHE GASPS

Ooh! Oh, oh, that
tickles! Oh! Oh!

Oh, what a tonic
you are, my dear.

That should do the trick.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

So proud of all you've become.

You're my hero,
do you know that?

You're mine.

Oh!

Now, go,

and stop that horrible boy,

before it's too late.

SCREECH OF HAWK

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Dad, is she OK?

THUDDING

Help me protect her.

Oh! Aren't you two
the perfect gentlemen!

Granny, you're awake!

Help me up, will you?

But, you were delirious! Talking
about Theo being in great danger.

Now, look at you!

Mother, you are a marvel!

Oh! Runs in the family.

Do you know, I, um, I did
have a dream about Theo.

She was chasing after
your friend Darius.

They were heading for a
strange oasis in the desert.

Oh, that explains it. Those
watering holes can be dangerous.

Talking of Theo, where is she?

Oh, er... I'll go look
for her. Thank you.

Well, I'm parched.

What does a lady have to do around
here to get a nice cup of tea?

Coming right up.

Why didn't Theo tell your
granny how we can get to her?

I don't know. Just
let me concentrate.

You've tried your best, Henry.
It's never going to work.

I'm so useless.

Open.

Open!

What is it?

That's the first
in the sequence.

Then it's... then it's that one.

Then, that one!

Hello? Anybody here?

Looking for me?

Theo! You made it!

You're not still angry
with me, are you?

I never meant to hurt you.

It's not me you hurt.

Your grandmother...

If I hadn't healed her...

I'm truly sorry. Oh, I'm
not here for an apology.

You're here for revenge.

I'm here to stop you
reaching the oasis.

We don't have to do this. You and I
both know that's just another lie.

I've come too far
to turn back now.

So, it stops here.

You're making a mistake. No.

That happened the day I met you.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

HAWK SCREECHES

The last symbol I pressed was...

It was...

That one! Yes! You beauty!

I'll read back the
sequence. I've got it.

Let's go!

WHOOSH!

Theo!

RUMBLING

I came to warn you about him.

Looks like I'm a little late.

Get behind me.

WIND WHOOSHES

Let's see what you're up to.

No, Josie! Stay away from it!

Will was right. He
can do real magic.

What are those? I don't know,
but they don't look friendly.

GROWLING

Can you beat them?

Well, we're about to find out.

That's not good. Run!

Behind there!

Argh! Uh...

Oh, come on! Don't fail me now!

Live to fight another
day? Yeah, run!

GROWLING

Ah! Any chance of a ham
and cucumber sandwich?

Of course! Glad to see you've
got your appetite back.

Don't forget to cut off
the crusts. Mother, please.

I'm not a heathen.

GROWLING

CLATTERING

CREATURE GRUNTS

Run! Run!

Oh, Henry! You need to rest.

Oh, be careful!

Henry?

Henry?

Henry!

GROWLING

GROWLING CONTINUES

SHE SIGHS

You OK? Not really.

I feel a complete fool.

I should have sensed that
Darius was the Eternal Flame.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

He's had magic for 3,000 years.

You're just getting started.

It's just not a fair fight.

Yeah.

He doesn't stand a chance.

I'm so sorry I let him
come between the two of us.

It's not your fault.

He tricked you.

Yeah, but I should
have never doubted us.

Doubted you.

Yeah, there is that.

And I've made such
a mess of things.

We both have.

I should have made
more time for you.

I shouldn't have
been so jealous.

I need to tell you something.

When I saw you kissing Josie.

I was so hurt, um.

I almost kissed Darius.

That wasn't me.

Yeah, well, I know that now.

Where does that leave us?

Nothing's changed.

We both know that's not true.

SHE GASPS AND GROANS

We need to find the oasis.

Careful. That thing
is still out there.

Coast clear.

Let's go.

I think we came
this way already.

Maybe if you go right at
the end of this street?

Theo, I think we should...

BIRDS TWEET

You found it.

Yeah.

With a little help from Granny.

WHISPERS: Thank you.

SHE GROANS

I got you.

You can do this.

Uh, I'm sorry, Will.

I'm not sure I can make it.

GROWLING

HE BANGS HEAD

MONSTER GRUNTS

How do we defeat a sand warrior?

Sand warrior, good name. Thanks.
But seriously, do we have a plan?

Stay under this desk for
the rest of our lives?

That's your plan? Have
you got a better one?

Open the Ka door to a random
tomb, get it to follow us through,

then double back and close
it. That is a better plan.

There's one problem, though.

What's that?

Your dad.

Is that wax? And what's this?

Come on, Theo. I
can't, I can't...

We're so close.

I'll help you.

Aargh! Sorry.

Your hands are scorching.

You can't help her now.

Don't drink that!

And you're going to
stop me, are you?

The magic is for Theo, not you.

Ah, well

it doesn't look like
she'll be needing it now.

Ah!

You monster!

Ah...

That feels better.

I'm sorry things
had to end this way.

I genuinely thought we
had a future together.

I really am sorry
about your grandmother.

I know how much you love her.

Oh, go on, then.

Take your shot.

SHE SCREAMS

SHE COUGHS Oh, I'd help you, but

well, then you'd come after
me, and I can't have that.

Don't hurt her.

Oh, I'd never do that.

Care about her too much.

Her own magic will be
the end of her, not me.

WHOOSHING

Theo!

Hmm...

Huh, I'm losing my mind.

FOOTSTEPS

Ah, Henry, come and
take a look at this.

Oh, no, not more sand!

How many times have
I told you not to...

Aah!

Ah! Ah!

HE GROANS

Hey! Over here, you
big sand castle!

Yeah. We're not afraid of a walking
beach! That thing is terrifying.

Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

Henry, any time
now would be good!

Come on, you stupid lift!

MONSTER GRUNTS

It's got sand in the gears!

HE BLOWS

Henry...

Trust me, this can work. Henry!

Blow!

I'll get some more.

No. No.

It's too late.

You have to get back
before you get hurt.

It's never too late.

SHE COUGHS

SHE GASPS

WHOOSHING

SHE GASPS

You saved me! I had to.

How else am I going to get home?

THEY LAUGH

DRAMATIC MUSIC

We can still do this! I
thought we'd blown it!

Henry! Get out of there!

Henry! The Ka door!

It's too late. New plan - run!

MONSTER GROWLS

THUD!

THEY ALL GROAN

Get back, you brute!

GROWLING

WHIP CRACKS

I've battled with
an Egyptian god,

so I'm certainly not
afraid of the likes of you.

Mother...

Stop!

Theo!

Yah!

Well, what, the...

What on earth...

Oh, hi, Dad!

Thanks!

Thanks, sis. That was a
close one! Oh, impressive.

Your magic powers are
stronger than ever!

Magic powers?

I think we have
some talking to do.

We do. We do. We do indeed!

What happened to
Darius? He's gone.

Hopefully forever.
And good riddance!

And what if he comes back?

Then I'll use my magic,
and I'll beat him for good.

Oh, enough about that scoundrel.

Let's look on the bright side.

We're all in one
piece! Let's celebrate!

This calls for cake!

THEY ALL LAUGH

I could go for cake.

Cake? Yeah, cake.

I can't believe
we made it, Henry.

I know. What's wrong?

I thought I saw something.

It's nothing.
