1400BC
Egypt is in mourning. Pharaoh, the great God-King, is dead. The future of
the Two Kingdoms of Egypt is shrouded in uncertainty as the Council of
Priests debates the claim to the throne of Pharaoh's only heir.
Out in the deserts around Thebes, Egypt's capital, a warlord chief is
assembling an army of mercenaries, waiting for just the right moment to
strike at Egypt's heart.
But not all of Egypt's enemies are outside the city. What is the secret of
the strange box discovered in the desert?
When the TARDIS arrives nearby, it has apparently been hi-jacked by the
Doctor?

Episode One:
The assassin laughs at the Doctor's situation. Erimem orders him to tell
them what's so funny before he dies, to which the assassin replies that
he will not die alone as the dagger was coated with poison. The Doctor
has only minutes to live...
Episode Two:
Peri, Emirem and Antranak return to where the Doctor was left, and find
that he has disappeared. Antranak tells them that his location now won't
matter - by now the poison will have run it's course. The Doctor is dead...
Episode Three:
The Doctor tells Erimem that this confirms what he's feared - that they
have a spy amongst them. She tells him to identify them and she will have
their heart removed. The Doctor says that he wishes she doesn’t as he
suspects that Peri is the spy...
Episode Four:
As the sound of the TARDIS departing echoes through the chamber, Antranak
and Feyum enter to find their Pharaoh gone. They realise she truly was
a God. Faym asks 'Now what?'...
Antranak: 'The Gods ways are not mine to question, I'm only a soldier.'
Peri: 'I lost my bearings six corridors, three floors and two hours ago.'
Erimem: 'You could tell me why he seems to have two hearts?'
Peri: 'I'm allergic to decapitation, it's bad for the circulation.'
Erimem: 'Tell me about you and the Doctor, Peri. Have you been married long?'
Yanis: 'You are in my tent, in the middle of my camp, surrounded by thousands of my men and yet you do not fear me! You should, you really should.'
The Doctor: 'You've changed your mind quickly, and literally too, I'd imagine.'
The Doctor: 'I am a little older than I look.'
Erimem: 'Elvis is a very strange name for a King.'
This story was Iain McLaughlin's first
Doctor Who story, and marked the debut of the Fifth Doctor's new
companion, Erimem, played by Caroline
Morris.
