I don't own doctor who, the BBC does
"You don't think that this could be that one of our adventures" Sara Jane said and 10 said "almost certainly"
"I can't wait" Jenny said and 10 grinned even if the master scowled.
[Archeological dig]
(The pyramids of Saqqara are tumbledown piles of mud bricks compared to those on the Giza plateau. Inside a tomb, a large stone door is being removed.)
"Why do I have a feeling that something really bad is about to happen" Rory said and Donna said "because it almost certainly is."
SCARMAN [OC]: Gently. Be careful. That's it.
(A tall, patrician-like man enters the unsealed room with an oil lamp and views its wall paintings.)
"Let me guess, he's the villain of this episode?" Rose said and Sara Jane said "maybe."
SCARMAN: It's perfect. It's absolutely untouched. The reliquaries are still sealed. Look at this. Great heaven, this tomb must date back to the First Dynasty of the Pharaohs. How many thousands of years since the priests sealed the inner chamber and draped this tapestry across the entrance?
"It is pretty cool" Amy said and Clara said "can we go to ancient Egypt?" And River said "took me there on a date once, ended up meeting Cleopatra, psychotic women, we got along great until she ordered his execution" and 11 said "looking forward to it."
(He pulls the tapestry aside to reveal a large Eye carved into the stones above a set of cartouches.)
SCARMAN: Achmed, your lantern, man. Quickly, quickly. It's the Eye of Horus.
ACHMED: No, Professor Scarman!
(Achmed calls out in his native tongue as the local workers flee the tomb.)
SCARMAN: Come back! Come back! I need your help! Superstitious savage. I've come too far to turn back now.
(Professor Scarman starts to pry at the stones with a mattock when they quietly slide open. He enters the inner chamber, a green light hits him, then he screams and falls.)
Everyone looked sad as Donna said "he's dead, isn't he?" And 12 said "he'd be better off dead, poor man."
[Tardis]
(The Tardis is in flight, and the Doctor is just standing still when Sarah enters in an Edwardian dress.)
"So, that's your fourth regeneration?" Rory asked and 12 said "good, you're learning" and Martha asked "did you ever trip over that scarf?" And Missy said "made himself look like an idiot whenever he did" and 9 said "how would you know, I hardly saw you in that one?" And the master said "I like imagining it, especially when it ends with you hurting yourself" and 10 said "seriously?"
SARAH: Hey, Doctor. Doctor, look what I've found.
DOCTOR: Hello, Vicky.
SARAH: What?
DOCTOR: Hmm? Where did you get that dress?
SARAH: I just told you. I found it back there in the wardrobe. Why, don't you like it?
"It's very nice" Rose said and Sara Jane said "thanks, wasn't very practical for running though" and 10 said "you were great."
DOCTOR: Yes. Yes, I always did. Victoria wore it. She travelled with me for a time.
" Who's Victoria?" Jack asked and 9 said with a fond but sad smile "she was one of my youngest companions, in her mid teens. She traveled with my second regeneration after her dad was killed leaving her an orphan" and Jenny said "poor girl."
SARAH: Well, as long as Albert didn't wear it. Oh, come on, Doctor. That's worth a smile, surely? What's the matter? You should be glad to be going home.
DOCTOR: The Earth isn't my home, Sarah. I'm a Time Lord.
SARAH: I know you're a Time Lord.
DOCTOR: You don't understand the implications. I'm not a human being. I walk in eternity.
SARAH: What's that supposed to mean?
DOCTOR: It means I've lived for something like seven hundred and fifty years.
"I knew you're lying about your age" Missy said and Bill asked "how old are you really?" And 10 said "ask her how old she is" and Missy said "you know it's rude to ask a girl her age."
SARAH: Oh, you'll soon be middle aged.
DOCTOR: Yes! About time I found something better to do than run around after the Brigadier.
SARAH: Oh, come on. If you're tired of being UNIT's scientific advisor, you can always resign.
(Just then the Tardis goes dark and tilts. A console panel explodes then the lights come back on and Sarah sees the image of a strange animal-like skull hanging in the air. It disappears.)
"What was that?" Jenny asked and River said "spoilers" And Jenny asked "so we've got to try and work it out ourselves, cool" and Nardole said "your attitude is soon going to change after you've sat through a few of these" and 12 said "don't listen to him, he's just a grumpy old man on the inside" and Nardole said "you're one to talk."
SARAH: What was it?
DOCTOR: The relative continuum stabiliser failed.
SARAH: No, not that. I mean the thing.
DOCTOR: What thing?
SARAH: There was a terrible face just for a second, then it was gone. You don't believe me, do you.
DOCTOR: Nothing can enter the Tardis. Unless
SARAH: Unless what?
DOCTOR: Mental projection of that force is beyond imagination, yet it might explain the stabiliser failure. Let's see. Was it at this end of the spectrum?
SARAH: No, Doctor, don't! Whatever it was, I know it was totally malevolent.
"All the more reason to check it out" 10 said while grinning and Sara Jane said "we wouldn't want anything bad to happen to earth would we?"
(Bump.)
DOCTOR: We've landed.
SARAH: Where? Where have we landed?
[Storage room]
(They step out into a room cluttered with painted and gilded sarcophagi and boxes.)
DOCTOR: We've materialised at the correct point in space, but obviously not in time. A temporal reverse? Some vast impulse of energy has drawn the Tardis off course.
SARAH: You're saying this in UNIT HQ, but years before I knew it?
DOCTOR: Yes.
SARAH: But it's so different. It can't be the same house.
DOCTOR: It must be the old priory. The UNIT house was built on the site.
SARAH: The old priory was burnt down, wasn't it?
"You were the one to burn it down, wren't you?" Rose asked and 11 said"it was an accident" and River said "oh you bad, bad boy."
DOCTOR: Something's very wrong.
SARAH: Doctor, I don't like it here.
DOCTOR: Something's going on contrary to the laws of the universe. I must find out what.
[Study]
(Somewhere in the house, someone is playing an organ. The butler knocks but is not heard, so he enters. The Egyptian theme is continued in the gilded and coloured decor, a the mummy case on a raised dais. There is also a desk.)
COLLINS: Excuse me, sir.
(The man at the organ is wearing a red fez.)
"He's got a fez" 11 said excitedly but Wilf said "so?" And 11 said "fezzes are the coolest thing ever" and Amy said "don't get him started, he'll talk about them for hours and hours" and 11 said "that's because they're so cool."
NAMIN: Get out. Get out of here! (he stops playing) How dare you disturb me? Get out. Get out at once!
"Rude" Donna said as everyone started to dislike the man.
COLLINS: I'm sorry, sir, but the gentleman insisted.
NAMIN: Gentleman? What gentleman?
COLLINS: He's an old friend of Professor Scarman, sir.
NAMIN: I ordered that no one was to be admitted, Collins. I told you no callers!
(The gentleman enters.)
WARLOCK: Don't blame Collins. Forced entry, sir.
"At least he seems nicer" Wilf said and Jack said "he's going to die? Isn't he" and 9 said "maybe, it was a long time ago."
NAMIN: This is outrageous.
WARLOCK: Call it what you like. I've a few questions to put to you.
NAMIN: All right, Collins.
(Collins leaves.)
NAMIN: So you have some questions?
WARLOCK: My name is Warlock. Doctor Warlock. I live in the village, and Professor Scarman is my oldest friend.
NAMIN: I am Ibrahim Namin.
WARLOCK: I know your name. It's your business that I am concerned with. Called at the lodge on my way up. Had a word with Scarman's brother, Laurence. He tells me you've had the infernal impudence to bar him from this house.
"That's not surprising considering what we've seen of him so far" Martha said and Clara said "is he the villain of this episode?" And Sara Jane said "you'll find out soon."
NAMIN: I am acting under instructions from Professor Scarman.
WARLOCK: I don't believe it.
NAMIN: I have his letter of authority. I have brought back from Egypt all the relics discovered by the Professor on his recent expedition. My orders are to store them safely and allow no one admittance to the Professor himself returns. That is an end to it, Doctor Warlock.
(Namin snatches the letter back from Warlock's hands.)
WARLOCK: Oh, no, sir. Not by a long chalk!
[Outside the study]
(Collins is eavesdropping.)
WARLOCK [OC]: I came here to find out what's going on, and I'm not leaving until I do.
"I like him" River said and Jack said "shame that he's probably going to die soon" and River asked "why are you suddenly being so negative?" And Jack said "I'm just being me."
(The knob on a door across the hall is rattling.)
(Storage room]
DOCTOR: Why bother to lock an internal door?
SARAH: Maybe this wing of the house isn't in use. It smells musty enough.
DOCTOR: That isn't all must, Sarah. Some of it's mummy. French picklock. Never fails. Belonged to Marie Antoinette. Charming lady. Lost her head, poor thing.
"When did you meet her?" Bill asked and 12 said "oh a long time ago, borrowed her hairpin and used it as a lock pick actually."
(Collins starts to unlock the door from the other side, and the Doctor and Sarah hide until they see who has entered.)
DOCTOR: Of course, it would make an ideal headquarters for some paramilitary organisation. This room could easily be turned into a laboratory. Oh, hello.
" You know you probably could of hid then" Clara said and 11 said "he probably would of found me, anyway, this was much more fun."
COLLINS: Who are you? How did you get in here?
DOCTOR: Through the window. I understood the property was for sale. No?
COLLINS: Ah, you're not fooling me, sir. You came with Doctor Warlock, didn't you.
DOCTOR: Did we?
COLLINS: He asked you to scout round whilst he kept his nibs busy. Listen, if you're a friend of Doctor Warlock, sir, tell him to watch out.
"He seems pretty chill about you breaking into the house" Amy said and Rory said "I get the feeling that he doesn't like Mr Namin very much."
SARAH: Watch out for what?
COLLINS: The Egyptian. There's no knowing what he might do. He's got the temper of the devil himself.
DOCTOR: Egyptian, eh? Is this where he keeps his relatives?
COLLINS: It's no joke, sir. He's only been here a few days. I wouldn't be staying, but, well, situations aren't easy to find at my age.
DOCTOR: What are you afraid of?
COLLINS: He locked this wing. He didn't know there was a second key. If he were to find me along here, let alone you two, he'd go stark raving mad, sir.
"He's already that" Wilf said and everyone nodded in agreement.
DOCTOR: I see. In that case, we'd better leave.
COLLINS: Oh, not this way, sir. Better go the way you came. He might see you.
DOCTOR: As you wish.
COLLINS: And remember to tell Doctor Warlock what I said, sir.
DOCTOR: Don't worry. I'll remember.
(The Doctor helps Sarah out of the window and they walk around the outside of the magnificent Stargrove Manor, Hampshire, ducking down under the other windows on their way. Collins watches them go, unaware of movement in a mummy case behind him.)
"Is this episode going to feature mummies?" Martha asked and 10 said "well, robot mummies" and Rose asked "is there such things as real mummies?" And Nardole said "I hope not."
[Outside the study window]
WARLOCK [OC]: Utter humbug. That letter's a bogus fabrication if ever I saw one.
NAMIN [OC]: Are you alleging that it is forged?
WARLOCK [OC]: I am, sir, and I intend to prove it.
NAMIN [OC]: I warn you, Doctor Warlock, do not interfere.
WARLOCK [OC]: Are you threatening me?
[Study]
NAMIN: It is not I who threaten. There are ancient powers gathering in this place. Powers beyond the comprehension of unbelievers.
"That can't be good" Donna said and Sara Jane said "it's really not."
(Namin gazes at a black-faced mummy case.)
WARLOCK: Ancient balderdash. Now let me warn you, Namin. Unless you give me some straight answers, I'm going to the police.
NAMIN: To say what? That a foreigner is living in Professor Scarman's house?
WARLOCK: To say that he's not been seen for weeks. That his baggage is lying unclaimed in his hotel. Oh, yes, I've had some enquiries made in Cairo.
"But he's not dead?" Jenny asked hopefully but 10 said "he might as well be."
(A man screams.)
WARLOCK: What the devil?
(Namin and Warlock run out of the room. The Doctor and Sarah climb in through the window.)
[Storage room]
NAMIN: Open, the fool.
(The mummy case closes just before they enter. Collins is lying by the window, his face a picture of horror. Warlock examines him.)
WARLOCK: Poor fellow. He's been strangled.
"He didn't deserve that" Rose said but River said "it's always the ones who don't deserve it that go first."
NAMIN: The gods have returned. I, Ibrahim Namin, servant of the true faith, rejoice in their power.
WARLOCK: Get the police. His assailant can't have got far.
NAMIN: You blind, pathetic fool. The servants of the All Powerful have arisen. When the temple is cleansed of all unbelievers, the High One himself will come among us. This is how it was written.
"He sounds like a nutter" Wilf said and Sara Jane said "that's because he is a nutter."
WARLOCK: Yes, I see. Well, I still think the police
(Namin has a revolver pointed at Warlock.)
NAMIN: You should have listened when I told you to leave, Warlock. Now you have seen too much. You must be the second unbeliever to die.
(The Doctor lassoes Namin with his scarf just as he fires, and pulls him to the floor.)
"Wow, that thing was actually useful" Rory said and 9 said "well there's no need to sound so surprised Pond" And 11 said "it has many, many uses."
SARAH [OC]: Come on, quick.
(Warlock leaves as the Doctor holds Namin down, then leaves too. Namin gets up, straightens his jacket, then opens the mummy case to reveal a bandaged figure that is not quite human. There is a definite ridge running down the middle of its face with hollows either side, and the rib cage is very high and prominent. Namin points a scarab ring at it.)
"That's one cool looking mummy" Jack said and 10 said "if you think that looks cool then just wait" making several people grin even if they were slightly nervous.
NAMIN: Abisme, Sutekh. Molachah. T'nab.
(The mummy steps down out of its case.)
[Priory gardens]
(The Doctor is half-carrying Warlock, who was shot high in the right chest.)
"That looks nasty" Jenny said and Martha said "if you don't do something about it he's going to bleed out" and 9 said "yeah, I know."
WARLOCK: It's no good, I can't go much further.
DOCTOR: You must. We're sitting ducks if we stay here.
WARLOCK: Get to the lodge. Tell Laurence
DOCTOR: Laurence?
WARLOCK: Marcus Scarman's brother. He live there. Knows me.
(Warlock collapses.)
DOCTOR: He needs help, Sarah. You go on ahead, find the lodge.
SARAH: What about you?
DOCTOR: I'll be all right.
SARAH: Okay.
(Sarah runs off up the steps and through the gate while the Doctor picks up Warlock and carries him, leaving his bowler hat behind.)
"You're a lot stronger then you look" Jack said and 10 said "I know."
[Woods]
(Further on, in a wooded area, Sarah hides in a hollow as the mummy comes near. Namin finds the bowler hat and follows the Doctor, revolver at the ready. The mummy leaves and Sarah runs off and arrives outside the lodge. Now it is the Doctor who is hiding from the mummy in the hollow. Namin arrives, hears something and turns.)
NAMIN: The All Powerful descends. O noble god, your servant hears you. (Namin leaves, followed by the mummy.)
" That was close" Bill said and Missy said "you need to be more careful" and 12 said "I'm the definition of careful, look up careful in the dictionary and it has an image of my face" but Missy said "you're getting confused with the words reckless idiot dear" and 12 rolled his eyes.
(Sarah arrives with Laurence Scarman.)
LAURENCE: Oh, my dear chap. Is he badly hurt?
DOCTOR: He'll be all right if we can staunch the bleeding.
LAURENCE: We'd better get him back to the lodge.
SARAH: Doctor, listen. I saw a mummy. A walking mummy!
DOCTOR: Mummies are embalmed, eviscerated corpses. They don't walk.
"You know that nothing's impossible" Amy said but 11 said "but the logic behind mummies would make sense" and the master said "you make no sense" and 10 said "yeah, but I do that on purpose."
SARAH: But this one did.
DOCTOR: Never mind about that now.
(Back in the study, Namin prostrates himself before the mummy case then prays in his own language.)
[Lodge]
(Sarah makes Warlock comfortable on a couch in Scarman's study and covers him with a blanket. His right arm is in a sling.)
WARLOCK: Thank you.
SARAH: Now, is there anything I can get you?
WARLOCK: No, no, I'm all right now.
SARAH: Just try and rest, then.
LAURENCE: Well, in view of what you've told me, I'm going to fetch the police.
DOCTOR: No! This is much too grave a matter for the police, Mister Scarman.
LAURENCE: Too grave?
DOCTOR: Yes. They'd only hamper my investigation.
LAURENCE: Your investigations?
DOCTOR: Yes. Why do you think I'm here? Something's interfering with time, Mister Scarman, and time is my business.
"You know you're doing that thing when you confuse people again" River said and 11 said "the looks on their faces are great, aren't they" and Nardole said "they're alright, but I've seen better."
LAURENCE: Who are you?
SARAH: Well, I'm Sarah Jane Smith. I'm a journalist.
LAURENCE: Journalist? Who is your companion?
SARAH: My companion? Oh, that's just the Doctor. We travel in time, Mister Scarman. I'm really from 1980.
LAURENCE: That is utterly preposterous, Miss Smith.
SARAH: Yes. Sorry.
DOCTOR: Interesting contraption.
LAURENCE: Kindly leave that alone, sir. That apparatus is delicately adjusted, and furthermore is a receiver containing highly dangerous electrical current.
"That's pretty impressive for the time" River said and 10 said "yeah, he was good with that. Shame he wasn't a genius at other things" and Sara Jane said "it's not his fault he just lost his brother."
(It looks like a sort of seismograph, complete with wiggly lines on paper cylinder, yet with a perforated wheel added.)
DOCTOR: Yes, so I see. What year is this?
LAURENCE: What year?
DOCTOR: It's a simple enough question, surely.
LAURENCE: Are you telling me you don't know what
DOCTOR: If I knew I wouldn't ask. Don't be obtuse, man.
LAURENCE: Nineteen hundred and eleven.
DOCTOR: Ah. Splendid. An excellent year. One of my favourites. Yes. I really must congratulate you, Mister Scarman.
LAURENCE: On what?
DOCTOR: Inventing the radio telescope forty years early.
"That really is impressive" Rose said and everyone nodded in agreement.
LAURENCE: That, sir, is a Marconiscope. It's purpose
DOCTOR: Is to receive radio emissions from the stars.
LAURENCE: How could you possibly know that?
DOCTOR: Well, you see, Mister Scarman, I have the advantage of being slightly ahead of you. Sometimes behind you, but normally ahead of you.
LAURENCE: I see.
DOCTOR: I'm sure you don't, but it's very nice of you to try. Now, why don't you show me how this gadget works?
"You don't already know?" The master said while smirking and 10 said "I don't know everything, you know that" And the master said "because I know everything" and Jenny said "no you don't" and the master said "and how would you know that, you're just a stupid child" and 10 said "she's certainly acting smarter then you know" and Jenny asked "why do you hate me?" And the master said "because you shouldn't exist, I already put up with you replacing her once and I'm not putting up with it again" Jenny then said "I don't want to replace anyone, I'm really sorry if it may seem like it. But we don't have to be friends, but I also don't want us to be enemies" 10 then took the master hand and said "come on master, give her a chance." The master looked into 10's eyes before turning to Jenny and saying "fine, I'll give you a chance to prove you not a big pile of crap" and 10 said "good enough I guess, but don't ever call her that again."
LAURENCE: Do you mean you want me to
DOCTOR: Please. Just a little demonstration.
(Scarman flicks three switches then pulls down a lever, which connects the electrical circuit with a spark and cloud of smoke. The wheel begins to spin.)
DOCTOR: Amazing. That's really amazing.
(Scarman disconnects the power but the wheel continues to spin faster and faster.)
LAURENCE: I can't switch it off!
(A large diode explodes and the machine finally dies.)
"I guess that wasn't supposed to happen" Donna said and River said "almost certainly not."
SARAH: Oh, very impressive.
LAURENCE: It's never done that before.
DOCTOR: Fascinating. A regular pattern repeated over and over again.
SARAH: Like an SOS?
DOCTOR: I wonder. Where was your aerial tuned?
LAURENCE: Mars. Why?
"Well that explains the title slightly I guess" Clara said.
DOCTOR: I just thought I'd verify the signal.
(The Doctor takes a small radio from his pocket and extends the aerial.)
LAURENCE: What's that you have, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Well, in principle it's exactly the same as the gadget you've invented, only less cumbersome. Yes, it is the same signal. Obviously automatic. Well, if it's a message, it shouldn't be difficult to decipher. They'd want to make it easy.
"Not necessarily" Missy said but 12 said "think positively."
(The Doctor starts to make notes in his notebook.)
LAURENCE: Who would?
SARAH: Whoever transmitted it.
DOCTOR: Now, let's see. This pattern recurs three times in one line. Let's call that E, the commonest letter in the language.
(Up at the Priory, Namin is back to belting out dramatic cords on the cabinet organ as three mummies line up in front of the mummy case. They raise their arms.)
DOCTOR: Beware Sutekh.
SARAH: Sutekh?
DOCTOR: Better known to you as Set?
SARAH: Of course, Egyptian mythology. Set or Sutekh was one of their gods. He was killed by Horus, god of light.
"You know, you knew quite a bit about Egyptian mythology" 11 said and Sara Jane said "read a few books on it When I was younger."
LAURENCE: Yes, but Egyptology and Mars?
DOCTOR: If I'm right, the world is facing the greatest peril in its history.
SARAH: Hey, wait for me.
DOCTOR: No. The forces that are being summoned into corporeal existence in that house are more powerful and more dangerous than anything even I have ever encountered. Stay here.
"Why do yo even bother telling us that?" Sara Jane asked and 10 said "in the hope that one day one of you might listen" and Rose said "yeah, none of us are about to let you go put yourself in danger without our help."
LAURENCE: I've an old hunting rifle that might come in useful.
DOCTOR: I never carry firearms.
(The Doctor leaves.)
LAURENCE: What I meant was that I should feel better if I could bring it.
(Sarah is almost out of the door.)
SARAH: Bring it.
"You not going to complain about that?" Jack asked and 10 said "I would, but as far as I remember no one was hurt with it and it was useful, or was supposed to be, later" and Jack said "but you still complain every time I carry a gun" and 10 said "that's different" and Jack said "yeah, yeah, you've said before."
[Study]
(The Doctor sneaks into the priory and opens the door to the study a little. The mummy case starts to shimmer with many colours, and the mummies back away. Namin leaves the organ to play itself and kneels in front of the case.)
NAMIN: All high, all powerful, most noble Lord, thy humble servant welcomes thee.
(From somewhere beyond, a figure in what might be a black spacesuit appears where the case was. Out in the corridor, Sarah enters. The Doctor gestures her to go away.)
NAMIN: Master, at last you are here. I, Ibrahim Namin, and all my forebears have served you faithfully through the thousands of years that you have slept. We have guarded the secret of your tomb.
"How many of them have there been?" Clara asked and 9 said "a lot probably."
(The figure walks up to Namin, smoke coming from its footsteps. It speaks very calmly.)
ALIEN: Stand. Look upon my face.
NAMIN: Great One, Lord Sutekh, I dare not.
ALIEN: Look.
(The helmet is like the faces of the mummies, only in shining black.)
ALIEN: Is this the face of Sutekh?
NAMIN: Master, spare me. Spare me. I am a true servant of the great Sutekh.
ALIEN: I am the servant of Sutekh. He needs no other.
(Sarah, Scarman and the Doctor watch from the doorway as the alien places its hands on Namin's shoulders. Namin starts screaming as smoke comes from his skin.)
"Was not expecting that" Martha said and Nardole said uncertainly "he did deserve that, right" and 12 said "no, no he didn't. But it happened."
ALIEN: Die. I bring Sutekh's gift of death to all humanity.
"He seems like a really charming fellow" Amy said and Sara Jane said "oh you have no idea."
[Outside the study]
(Namin falls dead onto the floor, and the black-clad alien transforms into a human male with pale skin and red-ringed eyes.)
LAURENCE: Marcus!
DOCTOR: Shush.
[Study]
SCARMAN: Take up the generator loops.
(The mummies move forward and pick up a set of canopic jars by the mummy case.)
SCARMAN: Place them in position at the compass points. Activate at ground strength.
"What are they?" Martha asked and Sara Jane said "spoilers."
[Outside the study]
DOCTOR: Quick, hide.
(The three scatter as the Professor leads the mummies out of the study, down the hallway and out of the main door. After a few moments, the Doctor comes out from behind the potted plants and signals Scarman and Sarah to get out of the travelling trunk.)
SARAH: Where have they gone?
DOCTOR: To set up a deflection field around the house. He's obviously planned every step.
LAURENCE: Who, Marcus?
DOCTOR: No, Sutekh.
[Study]
DOCTOR: Sutekh is breaking free from his ancient bonds. If he succeeds, he'll destroy the whole world.
"I get the feeling that this Sutekh is kinda a really big deal" Wilf said and Missy said "a really, really big deal."
SARAH: You mean Sutekh is still alive?
DOCTOR: He destroyed his own planet, Phaester Osiris, and left a trail of havoc across half the galaxy. Horus and the rest of the Osirans must have finally cornered him on Earth.
SARAH: In Egypt?
DOCTOR: The wars of the gods entered into mythology. The whole of Egyptian culture is founded upon the Osiran pattern.
"Did they build the pyramids?" Bill asked and 12 said "nah, that was actually humans, as far as I know."
LAURENCE: I'm afraid this is beyond me.
SARAH: It's beyond me, too.
DOCTOR: Ah! Found it.
SARAH: What?
DOCTOR: The lodestone that drew the Tardis off course.
LAURENCE: That's not a lodestone, that's just a sarcophagus.
DOCTOR: No, it isn't. It's the entrance to a time-space tunnel.
SARAH: Leading where?
DOCTOR: To Sutekh.
(The Doctor activates a cartouche on the case and it starts to do its multicoloured effect.)
"You shouldn't of touched that" Missy said and 9 said "yeah, I know, too late no though."
SARAH: Doctor!
DOCTOR: Keep back!
(Struggling to avoid being sucked in, the Doctor manages to get a handkerchief or something out of his waistcoat pocket and throw it into the vortex. There is a bang and he collapses.)
"Are you ok?" Martha asked and 10 said "fine" Clara then asked "what just happened" and 11 said "something very not good" and Rory said "yeah, we can see that."
[Woods]
(Night is falling as the local poacher checks his traps. One snaps shut nearby. He moves forward, shotgun at the ready, to see a mummy staggering around with the trap firmly attached to its ankle. Finally it kneels down and pries the trap open then casts it aside. The poacher turns and runs, pausing only to pick up his bag and a freshly caught rabbit.)
"He needs to run fast" Amy said and Missy said "I'm sure he'll get the message if the mummy starts chasing him."
[Study]
SARAH: Doctor! Doctor, come on. Wake up, please.
LAURENCE: It's no good. He took the full force of the blast.
"Just wait, he'll be fine" Rose said and both 9 and 10 grinned at her.
SARAH: They're bound to come back soon. We're trapped! Where are you going?
LAURENCE: There's a priest hole here somewhere. Marcus and I discovered it when we were boys.
(A piece of ornate wood panelling springs open.)
"There's that luck of yours again that you keep claiming to not have" the master said and 10 said "it feels like I have lot more bad luck then good."
LAURENCE: There. It isn't very large, I'm afraid.
SARAH: No, well, he is though, so come and give me a hand.
"Did you just call me fat?" 10 asked and Sara Jane said "well you're not now, you're like a twig now."
[Woods]
(Out in the woods, the fleeing poacher runs straight into an invisible wall and falls flat on his back. He gets up and tests it again, then tries throwing a branch at it. It bounces off.)
"That's like that spaceship from before, the family of bloods one" Donna said and Jenny said "family of what?" And 10 said "I'll explain later and a lot of people have invisible spaceship."
CLEMENTS: Holy Moses.
(He gathers up his bag of game and his shotgun, and makes off back the way he came.)
[Lodge]
WARLOCK: Is that you, Laurence?
(A pale figure enters.)
"Why do I get the feeling that something is about to go wrong" Clara said and Jack said "do you even need to ask that?" And Clara "no, I really don't."
WARLOCK: Marcus! Marcus, my dear fellow, you're back.
SCARMAN: Why are you here?
WARLOCK: Huh? What's the matter? For goodness sakes, old chap, don't you recognise me?
SCARMAN: Warlock.
WARLOCK: That's right. We've all been dreadfully worried about you.
SCARMAN: I came to find the other Scarman.
WARLOCK: The other? You mean your brother, Laurence?
SCARMAN: The human.
WARLOCK: Look here, old chap. If this is some kind of macabre joke?
" No it really not" Amy said and Rory said "he's dead, isn't he. He's going to die" and 12 said "a lot of people did die in this adventure."
SCARMAN: Where is the other Scarman, Warlock?
WARLOCK: Laurence went up to the house. That Egyptian servant of yours took a potshot at me! Laurence and the Doctor and some very plucky young girl went off to deal with the brute. They've been gone a devil of a time, mind you. I hope nothing's amiss.
SCARMAN: Who is the Doctor?
WARLOCK: One of Laurence's friends, I imagine. Some sort of scientist.
SCARMAN: Why does he interfere?
WARLOCK: Interfere? Now look here, Marcus
SCARMAN: All humans inside the deflection barrier will be destroyed.
"That not going get anyone to trust you, apart from maybe him" Jack said while gesturing towards the master and Martha said "I don't think he cares."
WARLOCK: For heaven's sake, Marcus, what's wrong with you?
(A mummy enters.)
SCARMAN: Destroy this human.
WARLOCK: No, no, no! Laurence! Laurence! No!
[Outside the lodge]
(Warlock's screams are clearly heard.)
CLEMENTS: Murdering swine.
(He runs into the trees. Marcus and the mummy leave. Clements loads his shotgun and carefully stalks them along the carriageway.)
[Priest's hole]
SARAH: He's coming round.
DOCTOR: A parallax coil.
LAURENCE: What?
DOCTOR: I never expected that. A simple trap. Blew up in my face. Clever.
"It's always fun watching that happen" The master said and 10 said "it's fun watching it happen to you as well."
LAURENCE: He's delirious.
SARAH: No, shush.
DOCTOR: Never underestimate Sutekh. Thinks of everything.
(The Doctor finally opens his eyes.)
DOCTOR: Where are we?
SARAH: Hiding.
DOCTOR: Where?
LAURENCE: A priest hole.
DOCTOR: In a Victorian gothic folly? Nonsense.
SARAH: You're so pedantic at a time like this. Does it matter?
DOCTOR: If only I knew the exact physical location of Sutekh. Where was your brother's expedition bound?
LAURENCE: Saqqara, I think. He wrote to say he'd discovered a blind pyramid in that region and believed it contained a mastaba.
SARAH: What?
LAURENCE: An underground burial chamber.
DOCTOR: Saqqara. Too vague, yet it might be our only chance.
"To do what?" Jenny asked and 11 said "to save the universe" and Jenny said "you really do that a lot, don't you" and Martha said "it's what he's best at."
SARAH: To do what?
DOCTOR: Sutekh is controlling operations here by mental force. With the equipment at the lodge, I could transmit a jamming signal.
SARAH: And block his power?
DOCTOR: With an etheric impulse projected along precisely the right axis, yes. Otherwise
SARAH: No good.
DOCTOR: The Egyptian's ring!
LAURENCE: What?
DOCTOR: It's a slave relay. Calculating the reverse polarisation should be child's play. Why didn't I think of it?
"Because you're an idiot" the master said and 10 asked did you think of it?" And the master said "ages ago" and 10 said "I don't think you did" and the master said "don't you trust me?" And 10 said "you know my answer to that."
SARAH: Shush. Listen.
[Study]
SCARMAN: Remove this carcass. (sniffs) There are other humans within these walls. Seek and kill them.
(The mummies drag Namin away.)
[Priest's hole]
SARAH: He's coming over.
(Through the window, Clements sees Marcus moving his hands over the panelling, and lets him have both barrels in the back.)
LAURENCE: Marcus!
"That's not Marcus" Clara said and 9 said "shame it took him too long to realise that."
[Study]
(Marcus reabsorbs the gunshot smoke and walks over to the broken window.)
CLEMENTS: Professor Scarman!
(Clements drops his shotgun and runs.)
SCARMAN: Seek and kill.
(Two mummies set off across the lawn after Clements. Scarman leaves the study. Our three come out of hiding.)
DOCTOR: All right, all clear.
LAURENCE: Where are we going?
DOCTOR: Shush. To find that Egyptian.
[Outside the study]
SARAH: We can't search the whole priory. There's no need to. Look.
(Footsteps and drag marks in the dust on the floor into the locked wing.)
"That probably a good clue" Donna said and Jack said "definitely follow it"
[Storeroom]
(Some definitely non-Egyptian items are taken from packing cases.)
SCARMAN: Follow me.
(He leads the mummies out and past the hidden trio, who then enter the room. Namin is lying on the floor. The Doctor removes the scarab ring.)
SARAH: What do you think they're doing?
DOCTOR: I'm not sure yet.
LAURENCE: This is exceedingly interesting, Doctor. It appears to be some kind of machinery.
DOCTOR: You're right. Yes, that's resonating tuner. Part of an anti-gravity drive. Oh! They must be building a rocket.
SARAH: Egyptian mummies building rockets? That's crazy.
"That's cool but crazy" Jenny said and everyone grinned.
DOCTOR: They're not mummies, they're service robots.
SARAH: Huh?
DOCTOR: Machines.
SARAH: Machines? All right then, why are machines building rockets?
DOCTOR: So that Sutekh can escape from the power of Horus.
SARAH: Where's Sutekh now?
DOCTOR: Exactly where Horus left him seven thousand years ago. Trapped beneath a pyramid and powerless to move.
"He deserved it though" River said and 11 said "oh 100%"
(A door slams and they run out to hide. Laurence cocks his hunting rifle, then the Doctor pulls him back behind a tapestry.)
(Marcus Scarman enters with the mummies to collect more pieces of machinery.)
[Tardis]
LAURENCE: Great heavens! This is unbelievable. Totally unbelievable!
DOCTOR: You're going to say it transcends all the normal laws of physics.
"And are you going to say it?" Rory asked and Donna said "he has to, it's tradition" and Jenny asked "say what?" And Bill said "that it's bigger on the inside."
LAURENCE: I am, yes. I mean, it does. It's preposterous!
DOCTOR: Isn't it. I often think dimensional transcendentalism is preposterous, but it works. Would you like to look around?
LAURENCE: May I?
DOCTOR: Please.
"He didn't say it" Clara said and Jack said "he didn't even seem that surprised."
SARAH: Well now we are here, why don't you tune up 1980 and we can, well, leave.
"No way, you can't leave" Clara said and Sara Jane said "yeah, I didn't understand the rules of time travel back then."
DOCTOR: I can't.
SARAH: Ah. Why can't you?
DOCTOR: Because if Sutekh isn't stopped, he'll destroy the world.
SARAH: But he didn't, did he. I mean, we know the world didn't end in 1911.
DOCTOR: Do we?
SARAH: Yes, of course we do!
DOCTOR: All right. If we leave now, let's see what the world will look like in 1980.
"You're actually going to show us how the world will change if you don't save it" Bill said and 9 said "might as well."
(The Doctor works the console.)
LAURENCE: I say, this is like something by that novelist chap, Mister Wells.
(The Tardis lands, and the doors open to show a bleak, rocky landscape with howling winds and an electrical storm.)
Everyone was staring horrified as Martha said "you've got to stop this" and 12 said "we will try our hardest."
DOCTOR: 1980, Sarah, if you want to get off.
(Sarah doesn't, and the doors close.)
SARAH: It's a trick!
DOCTOR: No. That's the world as Sutekh would leave it. A desolate planet circling a dead sun.
SARAH: It can't be! I'm from 1980.
DOCTOR: Every point in time has its alternative, Sarah. You've looked into alternative time.
"Does that mean every time apart from fixed points?" Donna asked and Missy said "fixed points suck."
LAURENCE: Fascinating. Do you mean the future can be chosen, Doctor?
"He seems to be taking time travel pretty well" Donna said and Sara Jane said "I suppose he's seen a lot of other strange stuff today."
DOCTOR: Not chosen, shaped. The actions of the present fashion the future.
LAURENCE: So a man can change the course of history?
DOCTOR: To a small extent. It takes a being of Sutekh's almost limitless power to destroy the future. Well?
SARAH: We've got to go back.
DOCTOR: Yes.
(Out in the woods, an exhausted Clements is hiding behind a tree catching his breath, while two mummies stand looking around. He makes a break for it, and they lumber after him. Further on, he falls, and they catch up to him.)
Everyone looked sadly as they knew that Clements was as good as dead.
(Meanwhile, Laurence and Sarah have climbed out of the storeroom window.)
DOCTOR: Keep below the level of the window.
(They leave, then the Doctor climbs out.)
[Study]
(Marcus is reporting in via the mummy case.)
SCARMAN: Three humans within the deflection barrier have been destroyed. There are others.
SUTEKH [OC]: Eliminate them.
SCARMAN: The servicers are searching for them, but assembly of the rocket is being delayed.
SUTEKH [OC]: Destruction of the humans must not be allowed to delay the completion of the missile. That is of paramount importance.
"At least they're not going after you at full strength" Jack said and 9 said "we'd be screwed if he did."
SCARMAN: Your orders will be executed, Sutekh. I will recall two of the servicers to the rocket assembly.
[Lodge]
(Sarah covers Warlock's face with the blanket.)
LAURENCE: I can't believe that my brother. He and Doctor Warlock were the closest of friends.
"That's not your brother" River said and Amy said "I know he's not but you can't blame him for not wanting to give up on him."
DOCTOR: Well, if you can stop thinking of him as your brother it'll make it a great deal easier for you.
LAURENCE: But he is my brother!
DOCTOR: From the moment he entered Sutekh's tomb he became subject to Sutekh's will.
LAURENCE: What does that mean?
DOCTOR: As a human being, Marcus Scarman no longer exists. He is simply the embodiment of Sutekh's power. He's given the paralysed Sutekh arms and legs, a means to escape.
"You could of broke it to him nicer" Rose said and 10 said "I was just speaking the truth."
SARAH: If Sutekh is so totally evil, why didn't Horus and the other Osirans destroy him?
DOCTOR: It's against their code. To have killed him would have meant that they were no better than he, so they simply imprisoned him.
(The Doctor sets about mending the Marconiscope.)
SARAH: How?
DOCTOR: A forcefield, controlled from a power source on Mars.
LAURENCE: Mars?
DOCTOR: Yes. That's where the signal was beamed from, remember?
LAURENCE: But how?
DOCTOR: When your brother stumbled into Sutekh's tomb, the monitoring system on Mars detected the fact and triggered off an alarm signal.
SARAH: The rocket those robots are building!
DOCTOR: Yes. Will be aimed at the power source on Mars. If those warheads reach their target, Sutekh will have released himself.
LAURENCE: To destroy the world.
"You've got to stop him" Martha said and 10 said "I've told you multiple times that we're going to try our hardest."
DOCTOR: Not only this world. Anywhere that life is found. Right. All I need now is a magneto.
LAURENCE: A magneto. Of course.
(Scarman goes to a cupboard.)
SARAH: What are you going to do?
DOCTOR: If I can block the mental beam, Scarman will collapse.
SARAH: You mean die?
DOCTOR: Well, he's not alive now in any real sense. Only Sutekh animates him. Deprived of his outside contact, Sutekh'll be as powerless as the day Horus left him.
LAURENCE: Here you are, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Splendid.
(A man screams outside.)
LAURENCE: What was that?
(The two mummies have caught up with Clements outside the lodge and are now crushing him between their torsos. Scarman takes his rifle and shoots at them. The Doctor goes out and drags Laurence back indoors.)
"Great, they know where you are now" Missy said and 12 said "it would of happened sooner or later."
DOCTOR: Quick, Sarah, switch on the power.
LAURENCE: No, no, you'll destroy my brother!
(Laurence grabs Sarah, but she elbows him in the kidneys and gets away.)
DOCTOR: Switch on!
(Sarah throws down the switch and the wheel spins.)
[Sutekh's tomb]
(On the monitor, Marcus doubles up in pain.)
SUTEKH: Stop them!
[Lodge]
(The mummies burst through the front door. They knock the Doctor down and push Scarman aside onto Warlock's corpse, then advance on Sarah.)
SARAH: Doctor! Doctor!
(One of them grabs her by the throat.)
SARAH: Doctor! Doctor!
