[crowd chanting] All hail Aapep!
All hail Aapep!
No more rules.
The world is going to burn.
I am sick of you
telling us what to do,
you annoying old hag!
[gasps] Well, I never.
Alistair, do something.
Yes, Mother.

Ahh!

[crowd chanting] All hail Aapep!
All hail Aapep! All hail Aapep!
What is that?
You can see the magic?
So this is what
it's like to be you.
Why aren't we going crazy
like everybody else?
It's the amulets.
They're protecting us
from Aapep's magic.
I hope Henry's
still wearing his.
We need to find him.
You're going to the
obelisk, aren't you?
The Chief Serpent has
the Staff of Osiris.
It'll be dangerous.
I have to go alone.
Henry's our friend too.
We're coming whether
you like it or not.
[crowd chanting] All hail Aapep!
Well, then we'll need magic,
and lots of it.
Oh, what a time to be alive!
Chaos forever!
[crowd chanting] All hail Aapep!
[energy sizzling]
[dark music]
Reports are coming
in from New York,
Paris, and Cairo.
Chaos is spreading.
Once people have had
a taste of freedom,
they'll never go back.
Why be an ant when
you can be a lion?
♪
What about his sister?
She'll come for the staff.
She won't try anything
while we have her brother.
Isn't that right, my friend?
All hail Aapep.
- There's a good boy.
- Lock him up.
♪
[crowd shouting]
Steal the exhibits.
We can take what we want.
Ah, give it to me!
So much to choose from!
[indistinct chatter]
I want that.
- No, no, no.
- Stop!
What on Earth do you
think you're doing?
Clive, you're all right.
Never thought I'd be
so happy to see you.
Let the visitors
do what they want!
There is no rules now!
All hail Aapep!
In the name of Osiris,
lord of the everlasting,
of Hathor, mother of
pharaohs and Eye of Ra,
cast the magic from this shabti
and banish it
beyond the darkness.
All hail Aapep!
Trust me, Clive,
I feel your pain.
I'll put you up here
out of harm's way.
- Hye, get me down from here.
- Ow! Ow! Watch it!
Let's go!
There's one more
thing we need, okay?
Whatever it is,
we need to hurry.
Take everything. Just go!
The world has gone bonkers.
I saw it in here.
It just a small
statue of Mertseger.
Okay. What's it look like?
Six inches high,
carved from marble,
- shoulder-length hair.
- Oh.
You mean like half
the statues in here?
Gonna need a bit more.
- She's wearing this
- This big flowy dress
with wings and crocodile feet.
Just just keep searching
until you find her.
Mertseger doesn't
look like that.
Hey, what are you doing?
- Guys, I'm sorry.
- There's no statue.
I need you to be safe.
- No, Theo, wait!
- Theo!
Theo!
Quick! The door!
- No. No, no, no.
- She locked us in!

All hail Aapep!

[suspenseful music]
♪
No more rules!
We need to find another way out.
How could she do this to us
after all we've been through?
I'm really worried
about her too.
What if something happens
to her or or Henry?
I don't think I
could handle that.
We're gonna get
out of here, okay?
Help help me look.
[light suspenseful music]
There's just no way out.
Keep looking.

Will, we could
break down the door.

Report in from our
brothers and sisters
in Washington, D.C.
The obelisk they had
built is working.
- And the White House?
- It's burning.
The government has
collapsed. Same as here.
Aapep will be pleased.
Has there been any
sight of the girl?
No, master. She won't come.
She knows her magic
is no match to yours.
She's here.
I can feel it.
[dark music]
I'll tell the guards
to be extra vigilant.
♪
Don't touch it!
[whooshing]

The magic of Aapep
flows through the staff.
It is too powerful now
for anyone to touch.
Even myself.
Open this door right now!
You can't keep me
locked up like this!
Let me out of here!
We're never getting out of here.
Let's think what Theo would do.
She'd use a spell.

Oh, great Hathor,

Put everything back,

- Lady Throckmorton?
- Oh, sorry. Sorry.
Just stopped a scoundrel
walking out with a big vase
that was wedged in the lift.
That's why the lift came down.
I can't do magic. Wait a minute.
Why is the magic
not affecting you?
Magic?
What on Earth are
you babbling about?
Look! It must be her necklace!
Where did you get this?
Well, if you must know,
it was it was given to me
by my late husband, Harold.
He found it on a on a
dig at the Great Pyramid.
Did he know it
protected against magic?
Oh, don't be ridiculous!
The whole world seems to
have gone quite insane.
Yes, it has!
Stop the thieves
until we get back.
- Yes.
- Quick!
- This way to the good stuff!

Do not even think about it!

I'm sorry for getting
you into this mess.
It's me who's in the wrong.

I should've just
listened to you.
- Well, yes, you should.
- I'm I'm too bossy.
Not always?
Yeah, when's the
last time I ever
did something that
you suggested?
Okay, you're bossy, but
you're a big sister.
It kind of goes with the role.
You know, the truth is I
have no idea what I'm doing.
That makes two of us.

- It's the Egyptian underworld.
- It's very scary.
Aapep could use someone
with your skills.

So how do we get

How do we even know
she's in there?
- You're right.
- She's probably taking
a sightseeing trip
down the river.

Anytime.
