OPENING TITLE
EXT- ABYDOS, DESERT- DAY
[Catherine, Wasif and James are walking in the desert with the Abydonian. Catherine empties her canteen of water, there is no more]
INT- ABYDOS, TEMPLE, ROOM HALL- DAY
[Aset gives milk to her baby]
ASET
They fought you?
SERQET
Yes.
ASET
The others surrendered so quickly. How strange.
SERQET
I will find them for you.
ASET
They will come to us.
SERQET
Ra will return to learn of the intruders.
[The baby starts to cry]
SERQET
And of the Harcesis! That child is forbidden and a threat to our kind.
[The nanny retrieves the baby from Aset's arms]
SERQET
Surely Ra would-
ASET
Ra will find guilt in all of us.
[Serqet closes his eyes. Aset stands up]
ASET
We need to be bold. If we are to conduct this revolution, we will need outside help.
SERQET
Earthlings? They are unpredictable if not tamed. You are being reckless.
ASET
Serqet-
SERQET
Ra's power is-
ASET
I will not squander the gift of my resurrection!
SERQET
Yes, my queen.
[Serqet leaves]
EXT- ABYDOS, DESERT- DAY
[Catherine, James and Wasif are still walking in the desert with the Abydonian]
JAMES
So much like Egypt.
WASIF
Yes, very sandy.
[Kasuf speaks in his own language]
CATHERINE
Hold on, hold on. Slow down, slow down. Let's start with the basics. I am Catherine.
KASUF
Catherine.
CATHERINE
Catherine.
KASUF
Catherine.
CATHERINE
Catherine.
KASUF
Catherine?
CATHERINE
Yeah.
KASUF
Catherine.
CATHERINE
Catherine.
KASUF
Catherine.
CATHERINE
Okay, who are you?
KASUF
Catherine.
CATHERINE
Catherine... No, no, no. I am Catherine.
KASUF
Catherine.
KASUF
He is Beal.
JAMES
Beal.
CATHERINE
Who are you?
KASUF
Is Beal? Is Beal.
CATHERINE
No. No, no. Catherine, Beal...
KASUF
Kasuf.
CATHERINE
Kasoof.
KASUF
Kasuf.
CATHERINE
Hasuf?
KASUF
Kasuf.
CATHERINE

It's like... Kasuf.

KASUF
Catherine, Beal.
WASIF
Wasif.
KASUF
Wasif.
CATHERINE
Wait! Kasuf! Kasuf!
JAMES
You're doing wonderfully.
WASIF
I do hope he takes us somewhere safe. We need to lay low.
CATHERINE
Lay low?
WASIF
Yes.
CATHERINE
What about my father?
JAMES
One thing at a time, Cat.
CATHERINE
Well, those footprints at the temple could be my father's.
JAMES
Those could've just as easily been left by that warrior. And I don't know how much your magic stick can do against an army of women like that.
CATHERINE
Well, maybe if we...
[Kasuf calls them]
CATHERINE
Come on, come on.
KASUF
Catherine, Beal. Wasif!
JAMES
Tents, how quaint.
[Kasuf shouts happily towards the tent to signal himself, then starts running towards the camp]
CATHERINE
Come on.
INT- ABYDOS, ABYDONIAN CAMP- DAY
[Catherine, James and Wasif follow Kasuf into the camp. All is quiet, no one is there]
CATHERINE
Father?
WASIF
Where is everyone?
CATHERINE
Hello? Is there a Professor Langford here?
[Catherine kneels down to look at a pot on the fire. It is boiling. She feels a presence]
WASIF
We've lost our guide. I don't like this.
JAMES
Stay calm.
[Spear blades encircle the trio]
CATHERINE
Okay, okay.
WASIF
Dear God, we are...
INT- ABYDOS, TEMPLE PRISON- DAY
STEFAN
Doomed.
BRUCKE
Nonsense. I brought us here safely, I shall return us home safely.
STEFAN
Nobody even knows we are here.
EVA
Stefan, calm. (in German) We will be alright. Wait! Wait, wait! Heinrich knows!
STEFAN & EVA
Yeah!
INT-WAREHOUSE-CATHERINE'S BEDROOM-DAY
HEINRICH (in German)
[i]Where is that notebook?[/i]
[Heinrich desperately searches for Brucke's notebook in Catherine's things. He falls on the bed and hurts himself with a fossil]
HEINRICH (in German)
[i]This can't be good.[/i]
INT- ABYDOS, TEMPLE PRISON- DAY
STEFAN (in German)
[i]For the love of...[/i]
[Eva speaks German, she takes the camera and starts filming Stefan]
STEFAN
Eva, please, turn that camera off.
EVA
But you have a good presence.
STEFAN
Do I?
BRUCKE
Honestly, Eva, sometimes I question the Fuhrer's election of you.
[Eva stops filming. Brucke opens the transport box]
BRUCKE
She's seized our weapons but left the rest of our equipment.
STEFAN
And all that remains is useless.
[Brucke pulls out a video projector]
BRUCKE
This is not useless. The thousand words contained within one image, can charm the hearts of empires.
STEFAN
What does that even mean?
EVA
You brought that for a reason.
BRUCKE
Yes.
EVA
The long histories of my work.
BRUCKE
Time for a little demonstration.
[Eva kisses Brucke on the cheek and she gives the instructions for setting up the projection equipment to Stefan]
BRUCKE
Why so quiet, Professor?
LANGFORD
I was thinking about how I should thank you.
BRUCKE
For bringing you on the greatest adventure of your life?
LANGFORD
For keeping Catherine out of this Goddamn mess.
INT- ABYDOS, ABYDONIAN CAMP- DAY
[Catherine, Wasif and James are tied to a pole. Guard hover around them, armed]
CATHERINE
From now on, I'm in charge.
JAMES
And here I thought you've been in charge this whole time.
CATHERINE
The kid was your idea.
WASIF
That is my finger you're bending.
CATHERINE
Sorry, thought it was Beal's.
JAMES
Is anybody here not hostile?
WASIF
Even we are fighting, I say no.
CATHERINE
You don't think I can get us out of this mess.
JAMES
Did I say that? Wasif, did I say...
[The guard puts a spear under James' neck to keep him quiet]
WASIF
I have no opinion. I suggest we all remain calm...
[The guard puts a spear under Wasif's neck to keep him quiet]
WASIF
...and let the solution present itself.
[Someone shouts outside. The guard leaves]
CATHERINE
Sit tight and wait? God, he's worse than you!
JAMES
Worse than me? You have no plan, nothing. So we escape, then what?
[Wasif tries to untie himself]
JAMES
They still have our guns.
CATHERINE
We take them back, obviously.
JAMES
Obviously.
[Wasif manages to free himself with one hand]
WASIF
Look! Look!
CATHERINE
I'm next, I'm next!
[Wasif goes to free her]
JAMES
Not so loud!
[Catherine is released, she turns to James]
CATHERINE
Don't tell me what to do.
JAMES
Lower your voice.
[Catherine releases him]
JAMES
We just have to keep calm, and...
[A guard arrives and threatens Catherine. She yells at him with her stick. The guard drops his stick and Catherine raises her hands in the air. James fights with him. Wasif helps him, but in the struggle, is stabbed. He falls to the ground and everyone looks at him in shock. Kasuf returns and calls for help]
CATHERINE
Help! Help!
[b]EXT- ABYDOS, ABYDONIAN CAMP- DAY[/b]
[Wasif is carried outside. A tear runs down Wasif's face. James presses hard on his wound, there is a lot of blood]
JAMES
I told you to be quiet.
[Catherine swallows a sob. The guard speaks to them in his language. A healing stick is brought near Wasif]
JAMES
Wasif! Wasif! Look at me! You're all right!
[The guard continues to speak and heals him with the stick. The wound heals itself, the blood returns to his body]
CATHERINE
What is happening?
