Some of the missions Shorty

has been on are...

Michael Zahir, our robotics engineer.

But it seems he wasn't briefed

on which million-dollar territories

he would be exploring.

Don't you worry, Nora.

I've got two primary camera feeds

sending back real-time footage

to our command center. So...

everything Shorty sees is permanently

recorded. Right, partner?

- Look out.

- Yeah. Cute.

Look out.

We're not shooting Days Of Our Lives.

Stop wasting your memory space.

Come on. People would love to see

these two nerds get freaky.

- Dr. Holden! Dr. Holden!

- Wait, what's he saying?

- We break through! We break through!

- What? Come on! Come on!

Are you all right? Give me your hand.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

- Slow down, slow down.

- You coming?

Tell them not to open it up yet.

Tell them to hold off.

- Yeah, hold off!

- Zahir, I need you to translate.

You got it? You got it?

Here it comes.

Jesus!

Get him out of here!

We have to get him to medical!

Oh, my God. We have to do something!

- He's alive.

- Thank God.

- So what happened to him?

- Aspergillus.

- What's aspergillus?

- Inhalation of toxic air.

It's actually not as uncommon

as it sounds.

- What causes it?

- A fungi usually found in caves and tombs,

structures that have been sealed off.

This pyramid could be way older

than even I had originally thought.

Nora, please. Stop spinning out

your wild theories.

I'm trying to reassure the university that

we're going to be doing things on schedule.

And that has to be turned off.

Nobody goes near that pyramid

without my permission, all right?

And nobody mentions

the word "curse." Understood?

I don't want any of that crazy

nonsense on my site.

Our site.

Goddamn sand.

What?

What?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You can't shut us down.

We're about to launch Shorty.

Look, it's not us, it's the government.

The ministry of antiquities is ordering

all research teams in the area

to pull out immediately.

They want you cleared out in 24 hours.

When will we be able

to resume the excavation?

We don't know yet.

I'm sorry, what? I don't understand.

You've been in the desert too long.

You should see what's happening

in the streets of Cairo. It's mayhem.

Wide-scale violence

between the military and the protestors.

They're fearing a civil war.

- But this isn't Cairo.

- Yeah, we are in the middle of the desert.

You don't get it. I'm sorry, Miles,

but you have to be out by tomorrow morning.

God. We are so close!

There goes my emmy.

Nora. Nora, this is not a discussion.

The final answer is no. Thank you.

Would you please hand these out

to everybody you see around here?

This place needs to look like
