THE DRUID

Good evening.

We've just learnt of a break-in at the British Museum.

Nothing of real value was taken, sculpture or painting.

Only a medallion made of gold was taken

from the permanent collection.

The medallion's actual origins are apparently unknown.

However, scholars have discovered

9th-century texts describing it in detail.

Philip?

- It's Maggie. - Margaret, how nice.

Heard the news?

Yes, yes. Er... no.

I've been made Chief Priestess of England.

Congratulations.

Come and celebrate the summer solstice at Stonehenge.

What a pity.

I'm very busy just now.

What? You can't come?

Dr Grossgrabenstein?

Good day, my friend. I'm counting on you to come.

I've made a fabulous discovery.

Better than the pyramids.

Really? What is it?

Promise me you will come.

Of course. Meet me at Salisbury station.

Splendid. Auf Wiedersehen.

The thief is still at large.

The authorities have...

- Just my luck. - Important call?

My cousin and her Druids

have invited me to dance around Stonehenge.

Would you care to join us?

I'd love to but duty calls.

Your mysterious terrorist?

He's threatening now

to blow up the great telescope.

The one being opened tomorrow?

Exactly.

Gosh!

Dear friends and colleagues,

ladies and gentlemen,

today I have the honour

and the great pleasure of opening this new telescope.

As you may already know, it belongs

to the new generation of super-powerful telescopes,

a showcase of technology...

The place is covered.

He'd have to be crazy to try to get in.

You seem very sure of yourself.

Thank you, my friends.

Good heavens!

- Get down! - Blake!

Seal off the area.

Hands up. Right now.

Attack!

The train for Salisbury

will be leaving in 5 minutes from plaftorm 3.

You're out of luck. That's the last one for Salisbury.

Salisbury? That's where Mortimer's going.

Room for one more in here?

Why certainly.

Get me Salisbury police station right away.

Would you be going to see Stonehenge?

Yes. I'm attending a mystical seance.

The Great Assembly of the Druids.

How did they put up those stones?

No one has solved the mystery yet.

Do you think that you will?

Watch the exit.

I'm looking forward to seeing him.

It's a long time since the pyramids.

He hasn't changed.

He's just the same.

A strange welcoming committee!

How are you getting to the site?

My cousin's meeting me.

Might there be room for me?

There's room for you if you don't mind Margaret's driving!

My friend!

I'm so happy to see you.

The pleasure is all mine.

Hello, Margaret.

Let me introduce someone

interested in old stones.

Mr...

Ellis. Brett Ellis.

How do you do.

Can we give him a lift to Stonehenge?

No problem.

We couldn't find a single suspect.

But he was on the train.

There are lots of tourists around. Maybe he joined a group.

They're at Stonehenge for the Druids' festival.

Stonehenge?

Fascinating!

Excuse me. I must prepare for the ceremony.

She looks enchanting in her white robes.

I don't doubt it.

Now, doctor, your discovery?

Yes, yes. Follow me. You too, Herr Ellis.

Just look at what we've found.

How strange. It looks like...

Earth and the solar system.

Absolutely.

But that's not all.

Come and look.

It's the plan of the Stonehenge site.

This gate here... no longer exists.

And here the sun is in a very special position.

That position only occurs every...

Fifty-six and a half years, doctor.

Correct?

Blake?

We don't have much time.

What are you doing here?

But, Herr Ellis, what...

Don't move, doctor.

Here we are again, then.

Guns down. He's the terrorist.

The medallion.

But of course.

Don't come any closer

or the doctor will have problems.

In a few moments I'll leave you.

My mission is over.

My father would be proud of me.

Help!

Philip.

A forest?

Strange.

But where are...

Blake?

Blake, wake up.

My head.

Incredible. What happened?

Where are Grossgrabenstein and that man?

Ellis. I haven't the faintest idea.

Flown away. Look.

The dig has disappeared.

I have the strangest feeling.

Blake, tell me if I'm dreaming.

There must be a logical explanation.

Let's head for Marlborough.

It's just a few miles.

We'll get help.

Or they'll think we're crazy.

That sign rings a bell.

Exactly, Mortimer.

It was stolen from the British Museum.

Good heavens!

Olrik!

What's happening?

Don't move!

Put up your hands, slowly.

The curfew?

And those clothes?

They're not from here.

You know the Emperor's orders.

They're only asleep.

I followed you and woke up

in the Druids' sanctuary.

Margaret?

The militia!

Follow me, quick!

I prostrate myself at your feet, Emperor.

Who dares disturb me?

What do you want?

I've accomplished the mission you entrusted to my father

56 and a half years ago.

Then you must be...

Brett Ellis, the son of Peter Ellis. I come from the other world.

The medallion?

I bring you the power of the moon.

That's it!

The key to your vengeance.

Give it to me. You are worthy of your father.

Soon Earth, which banished me, will be nothing but a memory.

Quick, this way.

Wait for me. What are you...

Don't worry.

We're in the sanctuary.

Sanctuary?

You know where we are?

Is it wise for us to stay?

You have nothing to fear here.

They never come here.

By the tartan of clan MacGregor!

Our own graves!

Explain this before I go crazy.

The truth is surprising.

In this world you're dead.

Your doubles were assassinated by the cowardly Olrik.

Our doubles?

In this world? What does that mean, Margaret?

Whom have you brought into our sanctuary?

Who are these men?

The militia are after them.

They're friends from my world.

They're impostors, not Druids.

I sense war and technology.

They cannot stay here.

Wait! They're on our side.

Margaret, I don't quite understand.

But if your friends oppose Olrik, we'll help them.

They trust me

because I'm a Druid priestess. But you and Philip...

We're not welcome here.

This is beyond me.

We'll fight Olrik on our own.

Philip, let's go.

No. Forgive them. They're afraid.

Can you assure them?

You're in a world parallel to our own.

A Druidic world in tune with nature, a peaceful world.

Peaceful? But what about the armed militia?

Olrik's arrival upset everything.

He introduced weapons and technology into this world.

How long has he been here?

A long time.

Time itself is different here.

Olrik sent a man to your world

but it's that man's son who has returned.

Why does Olrik want the medallion?

He already has the other half.

What will he do with the two halves?

When he sends it through the gate...

Apocalypse!

It will provoke a chain reaction and destroy the earth.

The Apocalypse as described in the texts.

We must get hold of that medallion.

Olrik is shut away in his fortress. We haven't a chance.

We have no time to waste.

You'd better stay here. By the way, how did you

put those militiamen to sleep?

A powder made of wild plants.

For a moment I thought...

It was magic? Oh, really!

Here's some "magic" powder. Use it wisely.

Thank you, Margaret.

Look after yourself.

How awful!

Indeed. I can't wait to leave.

- It's terrible. - Let's see over there.

Look. Olrik's wearing the completed medallion.

We'll deal with him later.

First let's rescue poor Dr Grossgrabenstein.

A great fight tonight.

Manethon against Grossgrabenstein the spy.

Don't be afraid.

Try your strength against Manethon himself.

Anyone who beats him will be congratulated by the Emperor.

Francis, is this a wise solution?

Come on, Philip, trust me. I've had a good idea.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a volunteer. Or should I say

two volunteers?

The festivities are shaping up well.

We must hurry.

Tomorrow, Stonehenge and vengeance!

In the meantime...

the people must see me as their benefactor.

Come on, Sharkey. How do I look?

The moon itself pales when compared to my Emperor.

Well done, volunteers.

Our congratulations to the big fellow.

One battle is over.

We prepare for the next.

Our amazing Manethon will now confront

Dr Grossgrabenstein.

Poor doctor.

Give us a real fight!

The battle you've been waiting for.

Dr Grossgrabenstein will confront

our own unbeatable,

formidable

Manethon!

Keep away.

Dr Grossgrabenstein.

It's me, Philip.

We've come to rescue you.

You? Mortimer?

What a match.

Manethon laid out the doctor with a single glance.

Now we need another volunteer.

The cowards!

You go, Sharkey.

Me? No problem.

Some action at last.

We have a volunteer.

OK, let's go, Manethon.

Now what?

The powder inside his helmet

will take effect in 2 minutes.

That's a long time!

Farewell, Manethon.

Long live Manethon! He's the greatest!

Once again, a triumph for the invincible Manethon.

You hear that? Sounds exciting.

Is that supposed to be entertainment?

Your medallion, quick.

Who dares speak to me like that?

Too ashamed to take off your helmet?

Let me alone.

Who are you?

Blake? But... You're alive!

Now what is it?

Not that.

Mortimer, get away!

Mortimer?

Get on, doctor.

- Come with me. - Not without Blake.

Give this to Margaret.

Margaret?

In Stonehenge forest.

Good luck, doctor.

- How did they get here? - Blake was chasing me.

He came through the portal.

You were careless.

Because of you,

Grossgrabenstein has the medallion.

Margaret!

I should have stayed in Cairo.

I could be killed in this crazy world.

Margaret!

Where did you get that?

I thought I saw a ghost.

Blake and Mortimer?

Captured by the Emperor.

Prisoners?

Lady Margaret.

I just heard that two traitors will be sacrificed tomorrow evening.

No, Olrik, this time you won't win. I swear it!

We can't sit here and rot.

Calm down, Philip.

I hope Grossgrabenstein was able to find Margaret.

She can't get us out of here.

Philip, Francis,

are you there?

Margaret? But...

How did you get in?

My special magic.

Hurry.

We're not out of the woods yet.

I didn't drink it all.

I wasn't dreaming. There was still about...

I wasn't dreaming. A girl just went by.

I wasn't dreaming, either. You drank it all.

Did you find that girl? Or do I have to come and look?

Harold?

We're not doing so badly after all.

For the moment.

The medallion, please.

The what?

The medallion, and quickly!

All right... The medallion.

Don't come any closer.

Toss it to me.

As you wish.

Here.

Don't move.

We're stuck here. Look out.

What's that?

A sort of aeroplane.

I should never have listened to Margaret.

Grossgrabenstein!

I can't find the brakes.

Quick! It's our only chance.

Quick!

Watch out in front!

Just in time.

Lucky for us.

It's nothing.

Look how pretty

the lights of the town are.

They've spotted us.

Philip!

Catch him.

He'll be killed.

I've lost control.

We've had it. Hang on.

Blake! Margaret!

We must set off at once and find Mortimer.

But...

It's hopeless.

Philip couldn't survive a fall like that.

By the tartan of clan MacGregor!

What a fall!

What's the point of patrolling here?

It's appalling!

How could you have let them escape?

I want armed guards stationed everywhere.

Luckily for you, you retrieved what matters.

Yes, Your Highness.

Get rid of those troublemakers, the sooner the better!

They'll be wiped out.

I shall see to it, Your Highness.

The Druids will be no more than a legend.

Fools in long robes. They won't stop me.

This night I'll have my vengeance.

The earth will disappear.

It's your fault the moon stone fell into Olrik's hands.

We can't help you, Margaret.

Druids are non-violent.

High Priestess, indeed!

The Emperor will take reprisals.

We want to live in peace.

Live in peace? While Olrik's preparing to...

Don't take up arms,

but you must help us. Our world's at risk.

I'll do anything to avenge Mortimer and bring down Olrik.

You'll do anything?

Will you risk your soul?

- My soul? Well... - Don't listen to him.

You could look for the moon stone's opposite number:

the sun stone.

"Only the sun stone is stronger than the moon stone medallion."

Where is this sun stone?

In a mysterious place.

The heart of the collective subconscious.

A place no Druid has ever ventured.

The source of legends.

We're with you in spirit.

You're not coming with me?

I have confidence in you.

You'll fall into a deep coma

and awake in the source of legends,

from where no one has ever returned.

But you'll succeed,

I know.

Just a brief holiday!

It's time for you to leave.

I'm ready.

Bell Ogma,

to you do we entrust this soul.

If you pass three deadly tests,

you'll recover the sun stone.

Not that strange.

Am I really in the source of legends?

A leprechaun!

Is it wise to return to the scene of the crime?

Well, I'm looking for...

My pot of gold!

You stole my pot full of gold coins

and now you must pay.

I think there's been a mistake.

Really?

A great day for the Empire.

Soon the earth will be destroyed

and my vengeance will be complete.

Then nothing will stop us, my Emperor.

Master of the Universe!

Just a minute, creep.

You're not getting away with my pot of gold.

Wait...

I've already told you

I don't have your pot...

He's been gone hours now.

Blake is on the right track.

He must face his destiny.

We can do nothing.

Let us pray he's still safe.

I shall have vengeance!

I shall have vengeance!

What a nightmare.

An open space at last.

I wonder what the second test will be.

If the Gates of Hell exist they must look like this.

I've no choice. I must cross this bridge.

You take risks, little man.

What an odd little creature

that dares trespass on my land.

You'd better let me down.

No, don't let me down!

Make your mind up.

Put me down.

If you don't know what you want you won't get far.

Is the source of legends

that way?

Straight on after the bridge.

But you must face me to cross it.

You pack a harder punch,

but can you move as fast as me, like greased lightning?

Don't you get it, dummy? I win every battle.

Not running against me.

Choose the course.

But if you lose,

you end up at the bottom of the precipice.

The start will be at the edge of the woods,

and the finish line over the bridge.

You take me for a fool, do you, midget?

Afraid of losing, are you,

big boy?

I win.

Come back, you cheat.

Goodbye. Nice to have met you.

They're coming.

Six cars full. Olrik, Ellis...

They'll try to open the portal.

If the medallion goes through, the world's destroyed.

Shall we allow this?

They've made it a battleground. Let us unite.

This has gone on too long.

Let's bring down Olrik.

Yes, down with him!

When can we open it?

Whenever you desire it.

Very well. Let us begin.

Sharkey!

- My Emperor. - Where are our men?

My guards?

Where are they?

You have no more guards.

You don't impress me.

You can't do any more harm. So surrender.

That's what you think.

Over here!

The plan worked.

My victory is complete.

Pacifists, eh?

This oak must be several hundred years old.

As old as time itself.

Who said that? Where are you?

I'm the soul of the tree.

Incredible.

What are you doing here, stranger, so far from your home?

I'm seeking the source of legends.

The source of legends is in front of you.

Apocalypse threatens our world.

Your world?

To save it from the tyrant trying to destroy it,

I must find the sun stone.

Can I trust you?

I can only show you where to look for it.

Climb to the top of the tree

and you'll find what you seek.

This sickle may be of help to you in your search.

Thank you.

Be careful.

Danger can strike at any moment. Farewell.

Margaret.

If you don't come out immediately, I'll execute your friends.

Why all this hate, Olrik?

How dare you speak thus?

He's an impostor.

An impostor?

Tie her in the centre of the circle.

Her sacrifice will be an example.

What to do? Oh, what to do?

And Blake's still not back.

The sun stone!

By this sacrifice,

our world will at last be rid

of this band of renegades.

Farewell, High Priestess!

Olrik. You're a coward!

Philip?

Mortimer!

I shall now enjoy an extraordinary moment, Mortimer.

Your death as well as that of planet Earth!

Where's Blake?

We don't know if he'll return.

Yet more proof of my power.

The key to the other world is here.

I shall destroy an entire world.

Bow before your master.

Olrik

is not your master.

Francis!

Olrik is no longer master of this world.

He has no power at all over this world.

So which do you choose?

An Emperor or liberty?

Seize him!

Philip, you're alive!

Yes, it's a miracle,

after drinking about two gallons of the Thames.

But... where's the doctor?

The Druids will destroy both medallions.

We must leave now, Margaret.

Coming with us?

This world is perfect.

But I'd miss the London smog.

I'm ready

for more new adventures.

Margaret, it's all very peculiar.

You think so?

Was I dreaming?

I've never visited the collective subconscious before.

You're too Cartesian, Francis.

This affair enabled you to finally capture Olrik.

He'll never bother anyone ever again.

Right!

He didn't achieve eternal life, but life in prison.

- And the doctor? - Back to Egypt.

He picked up the medallion

and gave it to Philip.

He wanted to analyse it, maybe use it one day.

In 56 and a half years!

It's the Intelligence Service!

Olrik has escaped!
