00:00Last time, Set sealed his brother inside a coffin, let the Nile carry him to die.
00:07But rivers carry more than bodies. They carry word of what happened to them.
00:13It reached his wife three days later.
00:31Where is everyone?
00:38By the river's edge.
00:40She ran the rest of the way.
00:48Where is he?
00:52Where it had to be.
00:54What did you do?
00:56I gave him what he deserved.
00:59He's your brother!
01:01How could you?
01:08He never was just my brother.
01:11He owned everything that should have been mine.
01:15Was it me?
01:17Is that what this was?
01:19I never told you either way, Set.
01:22I just started noticing you a long time ago.
01:27That's not a reason to become this.
01:30I won't stay married to whatever you are now.
01:47News of what happened at the feast reached the palace fast.
01:51My lady, I bring you terrible news.
01:54And Isis sat down in mourning.
01:57She didn't scream.
01:59She didn't tear her clothes like the mourners outside expected her to.
02:04You always came back.
02:09Not this time.
02:14She let herself grieve exactly once.
02:17The length of one night.
02:20Then she stood up and started asking where the river might have carried him.
02:32I left him.
02:34I know what you did.
02:36I'm not asking you to explain it.
02:40What are you going to do now?
02:43Find him.
02:44Asis.
02:45The river could have carried him anywhere.
02:48He could be a thousand miles from here.
02:51You'll spend your whole life looking.
02:55And find nothing.
02:57Then I'll spend my whole life looking.
02:59I'm not telling you to stop.
03:02Because I don't care.
03:06I'm telling you because...
03:07Because I don't want to watch you disappear into this.
03:12I know.
03:16She asked everyone.
03:18The river answered no one.
03:20No one has seen him.
03:22I don't know.
03:24We haven't heard.
03:25We hear nothing from the water.
03:31The land was too slow.
03:33She needed to see it the way a bird does.
03:52She flew the length of the river.
03:54Then passed it.
03:59Over villages.
04:00Over deserts.
04:04Over water she didn't recognize.
04:07Nothing.
04:11The wings could carry her anywhere.
04:15They couldn't tell her where to look.
04:23Months passed this way.
04:27Isis searched.
04:29Egypt waited.
04:34He knew.
04:36Sooner or later.
04:37Word would reach him if she found anything at all.
04:46A tree grew overnight in Byblos.
04:50Taller than anything I've ever seen.
04:54The queens ordering it cut down for the palace.
04:59Trees didn't grow overnight.
05:02Not unless something unnatural was feeding them.
05:15She asked around the docks.
05:17The docks.
05:18Anyone who might know where the strange tree had grown.
05:21A tree?
05:22Cut down weeks ago.
05:25The queen used the trunk as a column for her new haul.
05:31The tree was gone.
05:34But whatever was inside it wasn't gone with it.
05:38She entered as a nursemaid.
05:41One face among many.
05:42Asking for nothing more than a place to stay close.
05:46You're new.
05:47Feed him at mid-die, not before.
05:51He doesn't sleep if you feed him early.
05:55Understood.
06:04You're not a nursemaid.
06:06No.
06:07Then what are you?
06:09Someone whose husband is inside that column.
06:14Whose brother put him there?
06:15That's either the truth, or the strangest lie I've heard from a nursemaid.
06:20Why should I believe either?
06:23Because I felt something wrong about that tree before I ever saw it.
06:28And I think you did too.
06:31The day it grew.
06:33I did.
06:34I just didn't have the courage to say so.
06:37Will you help me?
06:42I'll do more than help.
06:45I'll give the order myself.
06:48Will him to come?
07:04Go.
07:05Before I change my mind about what I just gave away.
07:09I won't forget this.
07:21She didn't sleep until Egyptian soil was under her feet again.
07:31Word spreads fast.
07:33A returning ship, a golden chest, a queen who never stops searching.
07:38My lord.
07:39She has returned.
07:41He knew exactly what she intended to do with that body.
07:45And he knew she might actually be able to do it.
08:03No.
08:04No.
08:04He's gone.
08:09He hadn't just stolen the body.
08:13He'd made sure it would never be whole enough to matter.
08:17Fourteen pieces.
08:20One for every province of Egypt.
08:24She had crossed a sea once.
08:26And found him whole.
08:29This time, there would be no single place left to search.
08:33There would be fourteen.
08:36Fourteen.
08:38Fourteen.
