Edwin Carver is on the run. He has been shot, and he is making his way through the desert away from the Black Pyramid. A sandstorm gives him a little cover, but he soon finds himself right back at the Black Pyramid. He knows he is dying, but he must keep the scarab he is holding from falling into the men's hands. He buries himself in a sand dune and dies. Sarah decides to go back to the TARDIS, while the Doctor plans to search Carver's hotel room. Neither notice that they are being followed. The Doctor keeps the now useless scarab.
