(ominous symphonic music)

- [Guard] Hang on.

- I'm here to see the Colonel.

- [Colonel] An archeologist?

- Hm, he's fluent in
Mazari and Shahidi,

he knows the people and
the territory inside out.

- Sounds like our kind of chap.

- Yes, that's what we thought.

Except recently it seems
he more their kind of chap.

- Oh.

- He has friends among
them, he talks with them,

eats with them,
tends the bath house.

The feeling is, he's
no longer sound.

(knocks)

- Come in.

Good afternoon Mr. Carter.

- Good afternoon Sir.

- You're relieved
of your duties.

- Why?

- Your assignment
for the Spearow is

messenger extraordinary at
the pleasure of the crown.

It's no longer the
the crown's pleasure

that Howard Carter
act on it's behalf.

That will be all.

- Sir are you saying I
can go back to my dig?

- I'm saying you can do
what you bloody well please.

(epic instrumental music)

(tense music)

- Carter?

- Hello Winlock.

(laughs)

- Well.

Pull up a chair, it's
turning into a long war.

- What are you doing here?

- Safeguarding the
Metropolitan Museum's interests

in Egypt.

- On your own?

- Yeah, the responsibility
weighs on me.

Davis died.

- I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

- Back home, so now
the Met's not even sure

whether to have a presence
in the valley or not.

I think, I constitute their
one finger in the pie.

- Hang on.

- The ice ran out, in 1915.

Followed by the servants.

- Oh yes.

- So what have you been up to?

- Oh, helping the war effort.

- Putting your legendary
subtlety and tact to good use,

no doubt.

And why are you here now?

- Surplus to requirements.

- Well I'll drink to that.

(clinks)

- I was actually coming to see

if there was anybody in the
valley I prod for a dig crew.

- You got Carnarvon to
grab that concession

before Davis let
it hit the floor.

Don't think I didn't notice.

Everyone knows the
valley's all dug out.

But you got him to put
his hand in his pocket.

And now you're back
here the very instant

the army turns you loose.

What's going on Carter?

What little mirage did
you see on the horizon?

Alright, go find
yourself a crew.

Where's the cash coming from?

- Carnarvon's wiring
it from London.

- While you're at it, get
him to wire us som ice.

- Oh, Mr. Carter.
- Selim.

- Come in.
- As-salamu alaykum.

- Good to see you again.
- And you.

- You have the eyes of a
man who has seen too much

of the desert.

(laughs)

- I should think I do.

- Mr. Carter, my brother Jahi.

- (speaks in arabic)

- You speak arabic?

- I told you Mr. Carter is
not like the other British.

- (speaks in arabic)

- How are you?

- (speaks in arabic)

- Any day now it could
happen (speaks in arabic).

- (speaks in arabic)

- Please eat.

(speaks in arabic)

- You know, Fadil
wants to work for you.

- Hm.
- When the war is over.

I've told him great stories
of treasures in the sand.

- And when will the
war be over Mr. Carter?

- Soon, I hope.

- And then, your
soldiers will leave?

Go back home like you promised

and leave us to govern
our own country?

- Jahi.

- I'm not a soldier.

- Archeologist.

(laughs)

(upbeat music)

- Absolutely not.

They're needed here.

- Morris, it's just 20 men.

- It's 20 men I can't spare.

Sorry Carter.

Look, I can let you have
your friend, but that's it.

- Thank you.

- Selim!

- Where are we to dig?

- Here, under the cliffs.

- Not here?

- Well Lord Carnarvon feels
that we'd be better served

keeping off the beaten track.

- And do you think that too?

- He's my patron.

He's the one man who's
had faith in me Selim.

I have to listen to him.

And in any case, he
may well be right.

Makes more sense after all.

- Mr. Carter, what is it do
you think we are to find?

- A royal tomb, Selim.

- If anyone but you.

(chuckles)

- But we can't do
anything without men,

so finish your coffee and
we'll see who we can find.

- [Selim] You know Mr. Carter.

- Yes - There are
always young men

and boys who can help us out.

- Yes.

- Of course as long
as we pay them.

(gun fires)

- What are they shooting at?

(cheers)

It's over!

You there, is it true?

- Yes sir, they've signed
an armistice, it's over.

- Thank you.

(laughs)

(emotional instrumental music)

Do you know what this means?

- What?

- Morris can't
refuse us a dig crew.

(laughs)

- Can you take these
to my room please,

but the large boxes, these ones,

they need to go
straight to site.

- Why Ms. Lewis.

Is that truly you or
is it another mirage?

- Oh Winlock.

How was your war?

- Oh, quiet, uneventful.

But I suppose all good
things must come to an end.

(laughs)

- How's Carter.

- I think you should
see for yourself.

- Right.

- Oh damn it!

- Hello.

- Hello.

(laughs)

Um, come in, come in.

Sorry there's no room.

- Oh it's fine, I understand.

- Did you get my letter?

- Yes, there really was no need.

- There was.

I know you never would've
never told Davis about tomb.

I don't know what
I was thinking.

- So you do trust me?

- Of course I trust you.

- Good.

- I have something to suggest.

(serene instrumental music)

Harry's staying
behind this season.

Between you and me I
think Cynthia's had enough

of sand and mosquitoes
and dug her heels in.

It's all yours if you want it.

You can lay out your
research properly,

have somewhere to put
your books and charts.

- I don't need all this.

It's too big for one person.

- It needn't be
just for one person.

Not all the time at least.

And,

think how convenient it
would be for your work.

- It would be closer to the dig.

- Exactly.

- Thank you.

It's good of you to think of me.

- [Howard] What do I need?

- A wardrobe, chest or
drawers, chart case and tables,

book cases, a dining table,
chairs, a bed, linen I suppose,

everything really.

- Right.

Anything the lady says please.

- Right, I'll have
a look at that.

Carter.

- Huh, yes?

- He says he can deliver
them this afternoon.

- Thank you.

- Did I do something wrong?

- How do you mean?

- I don't know I just,

ever since I got here

nobody seems that
friendly anymore.

- Yes, they think
you're British.

- Huh.

- (speaks in arabic)

- Fore, anything?

- No.

- You there, anything?

- [Man] No, nothing.

- Seven, anything?

- [Man] Nothing.

- Has anyone got
anything at all?

Extend the grid again.

- You're not taking any
of your trenches down

beyond a couple of feet.

You just keep
extending the area.

You're not digging,
you're hunting.

We both know there's
nothing left to find,

not that way, not big.

Don't we?

- Telegram for you Mr. Carter.

- Thank you Hamid.

Unable to supply funds stop.

Arriving at end of month stop.

Will need to see progress stop.

Carnarvon.

(laughs)

Alright, mark the position,
take it down another foot.

- Yes Mr. Carter.

- [Man] Selim!

(speaks in arabic)

- Sorry this site is
closed to tourists,

you'll have to leave.

- But I only just arrived.

Are you looking for treasures?

- Sorry, we are trying to work,

so please if you could
return to your friends,

or your party or whatever...

- [Evelyn] Have
you met Mr. Carter?

- Sorry what?

- Everyone's talking
about Mr. Carter.

He's some sort of
desert nomad I think,

only he's English.

He's supposed to be
out here somewhere.

They said find a
hole, and look in it,

and you might find
him at the bottom.

- Evelyn?

- Goodness, that took awhile.

Well done though.

Hello Carter.

We were out this morning.

Me Ma got in some frightful
fuss with the staff

of the American House and
Papa's having to pour oil

onto troubled waters.

I imagine we'll never get our
drinks served on time again.

So I decided to jump ship,
come and see how you're doing.

How are you doing?

- Very well, really.

Very encouraging,
lot of good work.

- Oh dear God Carter, you'll
have to do better than that

when Papa shows up.

- Right.

- Now listen, we're not
in funds at the moment,

with the war and everything,
do you understand?

- Yes.

- Mama says this
Egyptian business

is little more than
gambling the estate away.

- Right.

Right.

- She's the one you need
to convince, not him.

- I see.

Yes.

- You still believe
it's here, don't you?

You haven't given up?

- No, no, I.

- He'll be here this afternoon.

You better be convincing Carter,
or they'll shut you down.

Now this whole area here has
been quartered and charted

and we are now preparing
to work our way

right up to the Necla
Valley behind you.

- Look at him.

Spinning sand into dreams.

He's his own fairytale.

Evelyn's turned out quite
well, don't you think?

In an English way.

- What nonsense Winlock,
she's beautiful.

Even you must be
able to see that.

- So, where do you
put your money?

Does he get another
season, or is the jig up?

- And I'd be more
than happy to...

- Forgive me Mr. Carter,

but have you found anything?

Anything at all in
the several years

you've been pursuing
this venture?

- My lady, we have found
a great deal of material.

It is best to think of
what we do as a marathon,

as opposed to a sprint.

You must trust me, I
am confident that...

- [Selim] Carter!

Mr. Carter.

Forgive me, Lady.

- Selim?

- We think we have something.

In trench six.

Please sir come, this way Lady.

- Yes of course.

- Yes come, down here, yes.

(bird cries)

Look!

Eagle.

Is very good sign.

Is good luck.

Perhaps Lady would do the honor.

- Yes, that's a jolly good idea.

Trick is to just be
as gentle as possible.

Move the excess
soil, there you are.

- [Lady] What does all this say?

- [Howard] That is the
Cartuf of the Pharaoh

Ramesses the second.

And there yes there,
his son Merneptah.

My lady, it's perfect.

- It's magnificent.

- [Howard] Immaculate.

- George.

- Well, now you see
why we needed you here.

You step into the trench,
and Carter's luck turns.

- Lady, I believe
there may be more.

- Oh.

George.

- What a wonderful
stroke of luck,

turning them up like that,
just in the nick of time.

But one stunt like that is
enough wouldn't you say?

So the unvarnished truth is,

you found nothing.

- It's because we're
digging in the wrong place.

- No, no, no, we've
been over this.

The central of the
valley is a non-starter.

Davis practically camped
out there for a decade.

If the tomb hasn't been
found it surely means

that it's hidden where
people haven't been looking.

And that means up by the cliffs.

Can't keep digging forever, we
have to maximize our chances.

- You're quite right.

I understand.

But that's not taking into
account the man himself.

I know this man.

- He wasn't a man,
Carter, he was a boy.

Not a great Pharaoh
like Ramesses.

So a small tomb hidden away
at the edge of the valley,

it makes perfect
sense doesn't it?

- Perhaps, but look.

He brought his people
all the way from Armarna,

he brought his family too.

He had them exhumed
and reburied.

Now don't you see that
that is a declaration.

A statement to the world.

It says, yes my
father was a heretic,

but he was still my
father and I will have him

standing beside me
in the afterlife.

Now that is not the voice
of a boy who was afraid,

it's simply not.

It is the voice of a Pharaoh,

a man of decision
and conviction.

And a Pharaoh would not
skulk in the shadows

at the edge of the valley.

He would be there.

At the center.

- No, I am sorry Carter.

You know I trust you
but the truth is,

the estate is all but entailed

and I simply don't
have the money

to risk everything on,

well I won't call it
whim, a hope I'd say.

We have to dig where
the chances are best.

Play the odds.

- How long do I have exactly?

- This season.

- That's hardly any time at all.

- It's hardly any money Carter.

It's the best I could do.

- Is wearing out the
carpet gonna help?

- I've never had
a carpet before.

I'm not quite sure how one
is supposed to treat them.

- People are starting to talk.

- About us?

- No, about your dig.

You still looking
for the same thing?

- Yes, still looking.

- For how much longer?

- I don't know.

I've been cut off.

I have enough money
to pay the men

until the end of the month.

And after that I'm afraid

I don't quite know
what I'm going to do.

- I spoke to Davis in
America before he died.

He wanted you to come
work for us at the Met.

So my question is,

what of this boy king of
yours isn't out there?

But if, and I know you don't
want to think this way,

what if you're wrong.

Even a great archeologist
can't find what's not there.

And that tomb that Davis found.

- That wasn't a tomb,
that was an empty room.

- The only reason I'm
saying it is, the offer

still stands.

The Metropolitan Museum
needs a excavation director

and they would look
on you very favorably.

- Oh I see.

- And it wouldn't just be one
or two seasons here and there,

it would be permanent
appointment, proper salary,

a career and you could
call your own shots.

Go wherever you wanted.

Karnik, Thebes, Mosini,

I could help.

I could go with you.

It could be a new
start for both of us.

Will you think it over?

- Of course.

- Come to bed?

- In a minute.

(emotional instrumental music)

(gentle piano music)

- Never thought I'd see
Carter in a dress coat.

- It suits him don't you think?

- Looks almost respectable.

He's not living in
his tomb anymore.

Imagined him in
there during the war

but he's moved out.

- I helped him find a house.

- That's good of you.

- It's the least I can do,

seeing as he's coming
to work for us.

You didn't know?

The Met's offered him a job.

- Well he can't take
it, he's not available.

He's working for my father.

- [Maggie] Selim do
you know what this is?

- Oh Mr. Carter.

- Selim.
- Look.

- What is it from?

- Trench 14.

It's rather good isn't it?

- Yeah, what's the
date do you think?

- Tut Moses third, judging
by the other pieces we found.

(puzzling insrumental music)

What?

- Tut Moses the third.

- Yeah.

- Right.

(gentle instrumental music)

(knocks)

- Carter, are you home?

- Hello Evelyn.

- Oh I'm sorry,
I didn't realize.

Is Carter here?

- What is it?

- My father wants to see you.

- Is it important?

- Oh there isn't
anything really.

I just didn't fancy
explaining myself.

- Does your father
know you're here?

- Not exactly.

(emotional instrumental music)

I thought about you
a lot during the war.

What was happening,
whether you were alright.

When you sent letters to
Papa, he'd let me read them.

You got dismissed from the army?

- Yes.

- Papa said it's because you
sided too much with the Arabs.

You are still
English aren't you?

- It's hard to tell.

- Well, you have a
house and a dress coat

and a canary in a cage.

- Ah, well that settles
it, I must English.

(laughs)

- I'm hungry.

- Let's try over here.

(speaks in arabic)

- Who taught you
about the Pharaohs?

- Well I taught myself.

When I could I'd go
work on dig sites.

Surrounded myself with experts
and I watched and listened.

- What is this?

- Well we have a few things.

By far the best
is foul meddamas.

Sort of bean with
garlic and spices

and you eat it with a
piece of bread like this.

- Would this be the
kind of thing they ate

three thousand years ago?

- Imagine so, possible.

- Perhaps even a king?

- Perhaps.

- Why aren't you
digging where you said?

- Because your father
asked me not to.

And because I respect...
- He isn't the expert.

You are.

- I work for him.

- Selim said that
you were upset.

Saw a picture of a
bird and it upset you.

- You see the date was wrong.

Tut Moses the third
predates Tutankhamun.

We're finding relics
from his reign,

then we can't be in
the right spot you see.

Best we can hope for is...
- Turn around.

- What?
- This way, turn around.

- Come on.

(explodes)

Are you alright?
- Yes.

- Are you hurt?

- For God's sake
Carter I'm fine.

We have to go and help them.

- No, no, no it's
not safe, come on.

- Where's Evelyn,
have you seen her?

- I though she was with you.

She called for Carter,
said you wanted him.

- I said no such thing.

- Lord Carnarvon, sir.

- We were nowhere near.

I'm perfectly fine.

- What in the hells name
were you doing there

in the first place?

- I asked Carter to take me
to the market, that's all.

- Lying to Ms. Lewis,
giving me the slip,

behaving like a child.

- I just wanted to get
out of this bloody place.

Do you have any idea
how stifling it is,

with the dinner dances
and drinks on the veranda

and dressing at seven?

- [Carnarvon] That
is not the point,

you might've been killed!

- But I wasn't!

I'm safe, Carter is
safe, it's all alright.

- God help us when
your mother finds out.

One hair on your
head and we'll be...

- If Mom finds out we're all
going home on the next boat.

Don't you think?

So perhaps it's
better if she doesn't.

- This whole country
seems determined

to set itself on fire.

God knows what they're thinking.

- Well they're thinking
that we promised to leave

once the war was finished.

We gave our word,
if they helped us

we'd give them home rule
when it was all over.

Well it is over and
we are still here.

And so they protest,
they riot and the bomb.

All the while we are
shooting them in the street.

- Keep your damn bolshevik
sympathies to yourself would you?

Haven't given a think to
who blows up whom here

so long as my daughter
isn't in the thick of it.

Do you understand me?

- Of course, I'm sorry.

(knocks)
- Come in.

Everyone else safe?

- I think so, I've
done a head count

and none of our
people are missing.

- What is it?

- After the bombing there was
some kind of a demonstration.

A riot they're saying.

The police opened
fire into the crowd.

Your foreman was shot.

They've taken him home, but.

- I'll go and see him.

- Selim?

You're saying he's
mixed up in all this?

- We are all mixed
up in all this.

- Sir, you're not aloud to
leave the building, sir!

- How is he?

(speaks in arabic)

(weeps)

- Mr. Carter.

- I'm very sorry.

Your father was a very
good friend of mine.

So if you want to
come dig with me.

You'll always be welcome.

(emotional instrumental music)

(knocks)

What are you doing?

- Going home.

- Why?

- Do you really need to ask?

I'm an archivist, and
a historian Carter,

not a, I don't
know, an adventurer.

Carnarvon's right.

This place wants
to go up in flames

and what is there here for me?

Met needs me in New
York in any case.

- But there's so much to
be done, your work here.

- Damn the work
Carter, I wanted you.

- Maggie.

- It's alright, I'm not
gonna try and convince you

to come with me, I'm not a fool.

- I belong here.

- And she's here.

You silly man.

Do you not even know?

Whatever was I thinking.

- Father's looking for you.

- It's over isn't it?

- Everyone's saying
Laveli's exhausted.

I think they're right.

I know I am.

- It's a process, it takes time.

- It's taken years and years
and thousands of pounds

and we have nothing.

- Well if you'd let me dig
where I said we should...

- Bloody riots are
the last straw.

It's not safe here anymore.

My daughter's here
for God's sake.

I'm really very sorry old man.

Can't be done anymore,
just isn't the money.

- I'll fund the dig.

- What?

- You keep the concession
to dig in the valley,

and I will fund the dig.

Anything we find is yours, you
won't have to put in a penny.

- Carter, where will you
find thousands of pounds?

- I'll sell my
house, in England.

I'm never there
and I have savings.

Just give me the concession
for one more season.

Just one.

- You're that certain.

- It's there.

- Sell your house?

- I will put in
everything I've got.

Your concession, my money.

You wouldn't have
anything to lose.

- Damn you man!

Damn you and your
house and your savings

and your shirt off your
bloody back I suppose.

I will not have it
said that I put a man

out of his home.

- But you can't afford...
- No, no, no.

One more season, that's it.

This time it's your
roll of the dice.

You dig where you want.

(upbeat dance music)

- Lady Evelyn.
- Bye.

- You clear it all,
do you understand?

The scree, this
rubble, clear them out.

You clear everything hm?

- [Man] Sir.

- You're moving your dig.

You know Davis had me and
James digging this very spot

for 10 years.

- I know perfectly
well it's been covered.

- And you think we
missed something?

You could go through this
sand with a fine mesh sieve,

and not turn up anything new.

Well, I lost a cuff
link out there in '07.

If one of your chaps turns
it up, do let me know.

- I thought you were
confined to barracks?

- Papa says I can go out
as long as Murtaaz here

doesn't leave my side.

- Ah.

- So, now that you're where you
should be, how does it feel?

- Well,

pretty good.

Little frightening.

But I think I have you to thank.

- What's this?

- That is the tomb
of Queen Hatshepsut.

We cleared it in
'03, empty of course.

- And who was she?

- A Pharaoh.

- I thought you said only men
were aloud to be Pharaohs.

- Indeed.

I suppose they can do
without us for awhile.

She was the wife of
Tut Moses the Second.

When Tut Moses died, his
son was still an infant

and so she took power
in the child's place.

And she was the first
great woman of history.

- She has a beard.

- Well yes.

You see there were plenty of
nobles who didn't want to see

a woman ruling over them.

So she said, I'm not a
woman, I'm a Pharaoh.

And she wore a fake
beard and men's regalia

to help them look the
other way, as it were.

- So a woman can become a man.

- Yes.

- And a 12 year old
boy can rule a nation.

- Yes.

- Must be some magic in the sand

to allow these
impossible things.

- This is Egypt.

Everything here is different.

- I can see why you
love it so much.

(emotional instrumental music)

Anything can happen.

- Boy is here.

- Hello.

You feeling strong?

Good.

Now your father was the
best foreman in the valley.

I have a feeling, one day
maybe, you will be too.

Do you want that?

- Yes.

- Good, you keep your eyes open

and watch what we do and
lend a hand where you can.

You can start by bringing
water to those men.

(emotional instrumental music)

(speaks in arabic)

(slaps)

- It's just too
much spoil to move.

So I was wondering about
rigging a rail line.

The type that miners
use for ore carts.

The army used them
for short run cargo.

So I imagine they've
got some going obeying.

We should speak to the
Adjuster's office in Luxwall.

One more thing, we
don't need to catalog

all this as we go along.

We'll put it to one side and
we'll deal with it later, yes?

(building instrumental music)

What have you got?

I need my large
brush and my trowel.

- Yes sir.

(speaks in arabic)

- [Man] There you are sir.

- Thank you very much.

- What is it?

- It's a step.

I think it's an entrance.

It's an entrance!

(cheers)

(epic instrumental music)
