Ankhe reminds the pharaoh of her position as queen and intended mother of the pharaoh’s heir. Ankhe points out that Suhad is a Mitanni and a peasant to Tut who tells the queen the Suhad is his. Ankhe interrupts Lagus report to speak to Tut about Suhad. With General Horemheb under arrest Lagus now steps into Horemheb’s place reporting to the pharaoh of the Mitanni’s movements. Ay warns Tut that perhaps the general’s execution should be kept a bit quiet to avoid unrest in the army but Tut is determined that all of Egypt show know the price of Treason and that any unrest would be ended with Horemheb’s death. They also discuss Ka’s death and Horemheb’s upcoming execution. “The pharaoh’s work is never done it seems as Ay brings Tut up to speed on the disease now spreading through Thebes and infecting the army. Tut tells her that he has obligations but he wants to share his world with her but will not force her to accept. Suhad then questions his decision as she is considered Mitanni. Suhad now questions Tut about her presence in the palace. She then angrily yells at Ka’s corpse for betraying her and their child. She is shocked when told that he will be buried without ceremony at the pharaoh’s order. Tut tells Hormheb that he will have to and sentences the general to death.Īnkhe goes to say her final goodbyes to Ka and questions why his body has not been prepared for burial. Horemheb tells Tut that the Mitanni cannot be defeated without him. Tut tells Horemheb that Egypt is now without a general and her enemies will grow fearless. Horemheb then claims his actions were to serve Egypt however Tut sees them as treason that betrayed Egypt.
Horemheb’s words reminding Tut that others had ruled Egypt in his stead since his father’s death. Horemheb when questioned admit that even he fears the gods but that no one fears Tutankhamun the boy king who lives behind other men. Tut moves to judge Horemheb for his treason. Ankhe insists that Ka was a pawn in the general’s scheme but Tut counters that she may have been the pawn or perhaps was in league with them. When Ay admits to offering himself as suitor Tut ask who he can trust and Ay replies no one.Īnkhe confronts Tut about Ka’s death and Tut tells her that Ka had stood next to Horemheb and left him to die. Tut And Ay discuss the planned wedding between Ka and Ankhe. While Herit attempts to tens to a shocked Ankhe Tut meets with Ay. Tut announces to his people that he has returned once again taking control of the throne and exerting his authority as pharaoh. Those who had gathered for the wedding bow to their king and a bloody Tut makes his way to the courtyard where the people are gathered chanting Ka’s name. Ay then carefully picks up the crown handing it to Tut while taking the dagger that Tut used to kill Ka. Tut embraces Ka and tells him that he is a betrayer before stabbing him to the shock of all gathered. As Amun begins the ceremony the group enters the room with Tut making his way forward to the altar where Amun catches sight of him and announces Tut’s presence.Īs the court looks on Ka removes the pharaoh’s crown and offers it to Tut. Tut sneaks them into the palace where all are gathering before the High priest for the ceremony.
Taking advantage of the crowd gathering in Thebes for the royal wedding Tut leads Suhad and Lagus through the city and to the palace. Ankhe reveals to Ka that she is pregnant with his child and then prepare for their wedding ceremony. That still gives Tut a leg up on Reign and The Tudors, which substituted dull fiction for far more interesting fact - but that victory is likely to mean more to biographers than viewers.Having escaped from the Mitanni Tut, Lagus, and Suhad make haste back to Thebes where Ankhe and Ka are becoming closer despite Ankhe mourning for her brother. What begins as an entertaining adventure devolves into a silly overstuffed Tut fest - part Mummy, part Moses, part The King and I. Unfortunately, by Monday's Part 2, invention fails them.

Free of an historical record they might otherwise be accused of trashing, writers Michael Vickerman, Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige are free to invent as they choose.
We know little about Tut's life beyond the famous items from his tomb - one of which, that glittering gold mask, shows up in the second of Tut's three parts, just to remind us who we're talking about. Surprisingly enough, for the first two hours of Spike's Tut (Sunday, 9 ET/PT, ** stars out of four), a six-hour sand-and-sandal melodrama, our almost total lack of knowledge about the short-lived 18th dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun works in its favor.
