Episode 10 Relic: Guardians of the Museum

The British Museum, one of the oldest museums on Earth.

By day visitors come to see the treasures,

but by night it's a different story.

Ha ha ha ha!

-Run!

-Argh!

I sense three children approaching.

They're here.

Welcome to the British Museum.

You are about to embark on a wondrous adventure,

one you shall never forget.

I'm Agatha, your tour guide.

I'm here to help and assist you every step of the way.

Now, I'm looking for three more guardians for the museum.

-Are you feeling brave?

-Definitely.

-Yeah.

Jolly good. Who do we have here? What are your names?

-Mark.

-Wallis.

-Rachelle.

Where have you come from?

ALL: Birmingham!

You must be wondering why you're here in the middle of the night.

Listen carefully.

You have just one night to discover the secrets and mysteries of a relic

held deep within these walls.

You will face three challenges.

Each challenge will unlock a vision about your relic.

Pass the challenge and you will all see the vision,

fail and the vision will be revealed to just one of you

and you will have only their memory to rely on.

Your knowledge of the visions will be tested in the final battle

when you come face to face with the Dark Lord.

Succeed and you will become guardians of the museum

and receive the Golden Scarab.

Fail and you will become relics yourselves

and part of the museum for ever.

Agatha!

Oh, no! That's the Dark Lord.

He knows you're here and he'll send his dark forces to seek you out.

We're not safe here any longer. It's time for your first challenge.

Follow me.

Yes, beware of my dark forces.

It's going to be a long, dark night.

Ha ha ha ha!

-Right, are we all all right?

-Yeah.

We must keep our wits about us.

To learn about your relic you must unlock a vision

and to do that you must complete a challenge.

So, gather round, stick together. Hold on tight. Off we go!

Oh!

Goodness me!

Have any of you ever time-travelled before?

-No.

-No.

-No? It's jolly exhilarating, isn't it?

Unless I'm wrong, this pyramid belongs to Tlaloc.

He was the Aztec god of rain.

The Aztecs worshipped him because he sent rain for the harvest,

but he can be very temperamental

and sometimes he would send floods and storms as well.

-He's very moody, so we mustn't wake him.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Your challenge, team, is to complete this pyramid puzzle.

The colours on the side will light up if you connect them correctly,

but beware, if you hear a thunderclap

that means you've woken Tlaloc

and you must run over to these plinths, lie down and freeze.

The clock will stop.

He might come in and cause all sorts of havoc.

And beware, one of you could be picked out at random

at any time and taken out of the game.

Once he's gone, the clock will continue.

Now, you must have a completed pyramid at the end of 90 seconds

in order to pass.

Now, if you pass, all three of you will get to see the vision.

If you fail, only one of you will see the vision.

You have just 90 seconds and you can go in three, two, one. Go!

You've got to work together as a team on this one.

Jolly good.

Make sure the sides all match.

Jolly good.

We've got blue here, green there.

Blue, green, jolly good. You're doing very well.

-Work together.

-THUNDER

Oh, you must have woken him! Hide, hide, hide!

He's going for Rachelle!

-Go, go, go!

-Come on!

We've lost Rachelle.

Wallis and Mark are still in the game.

-Come along!

-Yes, Wallis. Yes, Mark. Yes!

-So, blue...

Blue, jolly good. We've got

blue and green all matching up.

Quick, hide! Tlaloc's coming!

Ah!

Oh, no, he's taken Wallis! Go! Go team!

Rachelle's back in the game. Wallis has been spirited away.

-Wallis.

-Come on, you can do it.

Give them some encouragement. Only 60 seconds.

I can see green... I can see yellow and green.

That's more like that, Mark, very well done.

-Where is the last one?

-Blue.

-Is there a last one?

-Are you sure all the colours are right?

You can search for that last piece. You need to search for it.

-Where is it?

-Where is it?

-THUNDER

-Quick, hide!

Oh, so close! Here comes Tlaloc.

-Ahhh!

-He's taken Mark! Come along, ladies.

Now Mark was very good with the colours,

so make sure the colours match.

-Come along. There's blue.

-Yes.

-Blue, green...

-THUNDER

Oh, dear! Quick, quick, quick, hide!

He's coming, he's coming!

Oh, no, he's destroyed it.

And he's gone for Wallis. Come along, team.

-Flippity, flippity.

-Come along.

-Come on, Rachelle!

-Blue on this side.

Jolly good, team. Jolly good work.

Always checking the colours.

I can see yellow and green.

THUNDER Flip it.

Oh, team! Quick, hide!

He's taken Rachelle. Time's running out.

Yeah, the thinnest one is the wrong way round.

-Yes, we're nearly there!

-Ten seconds.

Come along!

Is that right? No, it's not right, it's not right.

That's right.

Is that it?

Well done. Yes!

Well done, team!

Oh, jolly good.

And now I can come, too!

-Where's that voice coming from?

-Hello!

Oh, goodness me. What are you doing over there? Come along.

-Let's get you out.

-Thank you.

-Are you OK?

-Yeah.

-Come along.

All of you get to see the vision, jolly good, all three of you.

Yes!

Now I will say a rhyme. You simply place your hands on the torch

-and do as I say. Does that make sense?

-Yes.

-Jolly good.

Secrets and mysteries we are ready to receive.

Deep breath in, hold on tight, close your eyes and see!

The vision begins. Where are we?

Portugal.

Look, a king.

This must be King Manuel.

He's received a gift from India.

What can it be?

A rhinoceros.

Never before has he set his eyes on such a magnificent beast.

I sense excitement.

The king wants to see it fight an elephant. The crowd is cheering.

Look, the elephant, it's backing off! It's refusing to fight.

It flees. King Manuel is furious.

He screams and shouts. The image is fading.

We're coming back to the museum.

Back to the museum. Back to the museum.

So, we all saw the first vision, so what do you remember?

-King Manuel.

-Yeah.

-And he was in Portugal.

And he wants... He likes the rhino.

-It was a present.

-He'd never seen it before

and he wanted it to fight with the elephant, but it wouldn't.

The elephant wouldn't fight and it fled.

What do you think the relic might be, the relic that you are seeking?

Maybe something to do with the king or the animals that were fighting.

Well, maybe all will be revealed in the next two visions.

In the meantime, remember everything that we've seen.

It will come in very handy when you meet the Dark Lord.

Now, I can sense some dark forces approaching. We must be on our way.

-Are you ready, chaps?

-ALL: Yes.

-Follow me.

Come along, this way.

All three of you have seen the vision,

but now it's time to split you up.

-SCREAMING

-Ha ha ha ha ha!

Get off me!

Help me!

Wallis!

Yes, bring the girl to me.

Don't!

Quick, Wallis, run!

Get the children!

Keep running, chaps!

That was terrifying. Are you all right?

-Yes, I'm OK. It was so scary.

-Even I feel jittery.

Now, you were very good in your first challenge.

Are you ready for your next? ALL: Yeah. That's the spirit.

Grab a hold, nice and tight, quickly, quickly. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Jolly good, off we go!

-Now, where are we?

-Wow!

-It looks like we're in ancient China.

-Isn't it beautiful?

-It's awesome!

I should get some of this for my house, except I live in the museum.

Right, come along, chaps. That looks look a nice place to sit.

Why don't you take a seat there?

Jolly good.

Now, your challenge.

Now the spirits of four dragons

have been trapped in four of these blocks of wood.

It is your challenge, team, to free them.

Now you do that by taking one of the blocks of wood

and placing it on this plinth

and then giving it your best martial arts chop.

Now, if a dragon is in there, it will look rather like this

and one of the lanterns will light.

Now, you must free all four dragons in 60 seconds in order to pass.

Now, I hardly need remind you that if you pass,

all three of you will get to see the vision.

If you fail, I'm afraid only one of you will get to see the vision.

So let's make this one a pass, chaps.

-Does all that make sense?

-Yes.

-Who's going to go first?

-Mark.

You're going to go first, Mark? OK, standing up.

In that case, you can go in three, two, one. Go!

Come on, Mark!

-Give him some encouragement, ladies.

-You can do it.

-Come on.

Oh, no, that's bad luck. Good try, that was excellent chopping.

Come on, Wallis!

You've got a lot of blocks to get through. Come on.

Oh, no. Oh, Rachelle, go, go, go.

-Woo!

-Good encouragement. Very good.

-Do it! Yes!

Very well done, team!

-Mark!

-Three more to find. Oh, dear, come along.

-Come along, now. Is this going to be a lucky one?

-Yes!

-Very well done!

-Yes, Wallis!

-That's two you've got. Just two more to find.

-Come on, Rachelle.

Oh, no! Come along.

-So, you've found two, we need two more.

-Come on! We're nearly there!

-Come along.

-Yes!

Very well done! OK, just one more. We just need one more.

Nine seconds. Eight...

Oh, dear.

Oh!

Oh, that was very, very close indeed. Oh, team!

You only freed three dragons.

-You know what that means, don't you?

-Yeah.

Only one can see the vision.

But it's not the end of the world.

You just have to choose someone with a very good memory, OK?

You have to decide as a team who that will be.

-Who do you think?

-I don't mind, I'll do it if...

-OK, Wallis.

-Wallis is going to do it?

-I'll do it, yeah.

-OK.

In which case, Mark and Rachelle, come here.

I won't bite, I promise. Not much, anyway!

OK, I'm going to send you back to the museum, OK?

Hold on to the torch? That's it.

And watch out for those dark forces, OK?

Where are we?

MARK SHIVERS

Did you just f-feel that?

So, Wallis, your whole team is relying on you,

you have to remember everything you see in this vision.

Now, I will simply say a rhyme, you do as I say

-and put your hand on the torch. OK?

-Yeah.

-Jolly good.

Secrets and mysteries we are ready to receive.

Deep breath in, hold on tight, close your eyes and see!

The vision begins.

Time has passed and a decision has been made.

King Manuel wants to send the rhino to Rome, but why?

Ah! He wishes to gain favour with the Pope.

The rhino's long journey to Italy begins.

A ship sets sail.

Danger! I sense a storm approaching.

Abandon ship! Abandon ship!

I fear a great tragedy.

The rhino's gone.

The ship is no more

and the rhino is lost to the sea for ever.

The image is fading.

We're going back to the museum.

Back to the museum. Back to the museum.

OK. So, Wallis, you and you alone have seen the second vision.

Oh, and here are your teammates.

Wallis has seen the second vision. Tell them everything you remember.

Well, from where we left off

the King, Manuel, has sent the rhinoceros to Rome,

because he wants to gain favour with the Pope,

but he sent them on the ship and the rhino was in a cage,

but a storm came while they were at sea.

And they were going to abandon ship, but they couldn't get the rhino out,

so the ship got sunk into the sea and the rhino kind of died.

Do we know what the relic is yet?

Maybe something to do with the boat.

Yes, it's not clear yet, is it?

Well, maybe it will become clear in the third and final vision.

Until then, remember everything that Wallis told you,

that will come in handy

when you meet the Dark Lord in the final battle.

And, remember, you must answer three of his questions correctly

to receive the Golden Scarab and become guardians of the museum.

Fail and you will belong to the Dark Lord for ever.

We don't want that, do we? No.

On to your next challenge, chaps. This way, follow me.

Can you remember all that Wallis told you?

It's getting late and you must be getting tired.

Ha ha ha ha!

Right, it's time for your final challenge

so hold on nice and tight, chaps.

Native America here we come.

Off we go!

Oh, goodness me!

Goodness, that plays havoc with a lady's hair, let me tell you.

Oh, well, welcome to North America!

And this rather splendid looking tepee.

Now I'm going to call on the ancient ancestors

of the Native American people to send us three objects.

Now, you must decide what they used those objects for.

For each of the objects I will give you three definitions,

you have to decide which one is correct.

Now you must get at least two right in order to pass.

Remember, if you pass, all three of you can see the vision.

-If you fail, I'm afraid only one of you can see the vision, yes?

-Yeah.

Jolly good. In that case it's time for the first object.

Ancient ancestors, please send us the first object.

Now, what do you think that might be?

There you go. Have a good look.

I can give you some definitions. Here we go.

Is it a backpack used for carrying heavy loads?

-Could be.

-Could be.

-Is it a baby carrier or cradle board?

-which I think one of you said, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Or is it a sledge they would use to speed down piles of sand?

It looks like it would go more over your front than under your back.

-A baby won't be comfortable.

-Its back...

-I think backpack.

-Yeah, backpack.

-Backpack.

-You're going for backpack?

-Yeah.

-Pass it to me.

OK. You think this is a backpack. On to the second item.

Ancient ancestors, please send us the second object.

Whoa!

Here we go.

-Whoa.

-It's a bit like a pipe.

So, is it a rain stick used to call for rain during periods of drought?

Or is it an instrument used to help someone breathe underwater?

Or is it a device doctors use to try to capture a sick person's soul?

Doctor one sounds a bit strange.

-Rain stick?

-Rain stick.

-You're going with rain stick?

-Yeah.

-Rain stick.

OK. There's your second object. A rain stick. Last object.

Ancient ancestors, please send us the third object.

Here we go.

-Whoa!

-OK.

-It's like a brush.

-There you go.

-Yeah, it looks like a brush.

-It does a bit it, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

Do you think it is

a broom for sweeping away sand from outside homes?

Or is it a hairbrush made from porcupine's quills?

Or is it a spiky tool used to herd buffalo?

I don't think it would be a hairbrush.

It's a bit big for a hairbrush.

Plus, if it's porcupine, it's really sharp.

-I definitely think it's a broom.

-I think it's a broom.

-Probably a broom.

-Have you made your decision?

-Yes.

-Cos that...

-A broom.

-You're going with?

-ALL: Broom.

You think it is a broom for sweeping away sand

from outside homes. We'll place that there.

So, that's all three decisions made.

So, starting with the first one,

you thought it was a backpack used for carrying heavy loads.

It's actually a baby carrier or cradle board.

Oh, that's disappointing, team.

-Last one as well.

-Oh, dear. Never mind.

Now, the next one you said was a rain stick

used to call for rain during periods of drought.

It was a device doctors use to try to capture a sick person's soul.

-It was a soul catcher.

-Oh, dear.

-We're not blaming anyone.

That's two wrong, which means you've failed,

but let's just check the third one.

So, you thought it was a broom for sweeping away sand outside homes.

Let's see what it actually was.

It was a hairbrush made from porcupine's quills.

Oh, dear!

Only one of you can see the vision.

All you need to do is choose someone with a good memory. Who will it be?

-I think Rachelle because she'll probably remember.

-Yeah.

Jolly good. Rachelle.

So I need to send Wallis and Mark back to the museum.

Excuse me. There we go.

OK. Now, hold on to the torch. I'll send you back to the museum.

I'll be back shortly, though.

Watch out for the dark forces.

Where are we?

We're back at the museum. I wonder how Rachelle's getting on.

It's us I'm worried about!

DOOR OPENS

So, Rachelle, the entire team is relying on you.

-It is all down to you.

-Yeah.

Secrets and mysteries we are ready to receive.

Deep breath in, hold on tight, close your eyes and see!

Where are we?

Germany, the 16th century.

And, ah! An artist at work.

It's Albrecht Durer, but what's he drawing?

It's a...

It's the rhino!

He must have heard a description of it.

I sense a print is being made.

Yes, Durer's drawing of the Rhino is being carved into fruitwood.

Now thousands of copies of his design can be produced.

Immortalised in print,

the rhino's incredible story will live on for ever.

The image is fading. We're going back to the museum.

Back to the museum. Back to the museum.

OK, so that was the third and final vision

and you and you alone, Rachelle, saw it.

Do you think you can remember everything?

-I think so.

-Jolly good. Team! Quickly, in, in.

Rachelle, tell them everything that you remember.

Well, everything was in Germany

and the man he's called Albrecht Durer.

And he was carving the rhino in the fruitwood,

so everyone can remember the value of the rhino in the story.

So, maybe Durer's rhinoceros is the relic that we are seeking.

You must remember everything she's told you.

Let's just hope that your knowledge of Durer's rhinoceros is enough

to defeat the Dark Lord. It's time for your final battle, chaps.

Follow me, this way!

Come on.

Ha ha ha!

It's time.

OK, this is it! This is your final battle.

I do hope you defeat the Dark Lord, chaps. I just need to summon him.

The moon shines bright and darkness reigns,

I bring three children here again.

Their minds are sharp, the visions seen,

Dark Lord awake,

we challenge thee!

Ahhh! Agatha!

These three children from Birmingham, they're no match for me.

Look at them. Ha ha ha!

They have done very well tonight, actually.

Silence! Do you really think they have the knowledge to defeat me?

ALL: Yeah.

-Yes, easy.

-As you wish.

Let the battle commence.

Three visions you have seen about a relic held within these walls.

I shall ask you questions about what you have seen.

Three correct answers will earn your freedom

and you will become guardians of the museum.

Three incorrect answers and you shall never leave.

You will become relics yourselves and remain here for all time.

It's time for the first question.

Mark, step forward.

Good luck.

Go on, Mark.

What was the name of the Portuguese king?

King Manuel.

Let us see.

Look, a king.

This must be King Manuel.

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Yes!

-You still need two more, child.

One question right. Just two more of those and you've defeated him.

Let's see who's next.

Wallis, step forward.

Good luck.

The rhinoceros was originally from which country?

Rome?

Let us see.

He's received a gift from India, a rhinoceros.

The correct answer was India.

Now your teammate belongs to me. Ha ha ha!

Oh, no! The Dark Lord has Wallis.

So that's one question right and one question wrong.

Two more incorrect answers and the Dark Lord wins.

Rachelle, step forward.

-Good luck, Rachelle.

-Go, Rachelle.

King Manuel sent the rhinoceros to which city?

Was it Portugal?

Let us see.

King Manuel wants to send the Rhino to Rome.

The correct answer was Rome.

Now you join Wallis, that's two to me!

You've lost both your teammates.

Just one more question wrong and I'm afraid it's curtains.

You need two more questions right to defeat him.

It's all down to you.

Good luck.

Mark, step forward.

What type of wood was the drawing of the rhino carved into?

Fruitwood.

Let us see.

The drawing is carved into fruitwood.

Yes!

Yes!

Your final question, get it right and you win and free your team.

Get it wrong, you fail and belong to me.

What was the full name of the artist

who drew the rhinoceros from description alone?

Albrecht Durer.

Let us see.

An artist at work.

It's Albrecht Durer.

Yes!

No!

No! Beaten by one child!

Well done!

Your knowledge of Durer's rhinoceros has defeated the Dark Lord! Look!

No!

And see, your teammates are returned to you.

Go on, Mark!

Very well done, team!

You are now guardians of the museum

and as such, you are rewarded with this.

The Golden Scarab.

These amulets are awarded to only those few

who prove themselves worthy on a night such as this.

Take good care of them,

for you never know when you shall be called on again.

Oh, and now I'm afraid it looks like it's dawn

and it's time for you to leave.

So, Wallis.

Thank you.

-Mark.

-Thanks very much.

-And Rochelle.

-Thank you.

Guardians of the museum, farewell.

Yes! Come on!

To defeat the Dark Lord, it's just really amazing,

I'm over the moon. It's just the best feeling ever.

Mark, you rock and you saved the day!

It feels like I'm king of the world.

Oh, what a triumph!

Three much deserved guardians of the museum and a defeated Dark Lord.

Well, my work here is done!

But if those dark forces should return, I might need your help.

Until then, dear friends, following on.
