The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 4, Episode 19 - Sarcophagus - full transcript

COULD BE
AN ARROWHEAD.

THERE WAS SOME KIND
OF SETTLEMENT HERE.

THIS AND 75 CENTS

WOULDN'T BUY YOU A COKE
AT THE SMITHSONIAN.

IT'S WORTHLESS.

EMMET?

COME HERE.

TAKE A LOOK AT
THESE SONAR SOUNDINGS.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

THAT IS DEFINITELY A STRUCTURE,
50 FEET UNDER.

THAT COULD BE
ALMOST ANYTHING.



A POCKET
OF GROUNDWATER,

VARIATIONS
IN THE SUBSTRATA.

OR IT COULD BE
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

NATALIE, THIS IS
THE FIFTH SITE
IN TWO MONTHS.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE
OF AN ADVANCED
NEOLITHIC CULTURE.

MAYBE WE'RE NOT LOOKING
HARD ENOUGH.

( horn honking )

HEY, GUYS, IT'S CURTIS.
COME ON.

YOU OWE ME A DOLLAR.

MAN, IF SHE WAS
MY WIFE,

I'D HAVE STAYED AWAY.

HEY, NATALIE.

I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE.

HI, GUYS.



WELCOME BACK
TO PARADISE.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

THE WEATHER WAS HELL.

THERE WERE MUDSLIDES
AND WASHOUTS

ALL THE WAY BACK
FROM THE LANDING STRIP.

THE DRIVE TOOK ME 15 HOURS.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

HOW YOU DOING?

GOOD.

WHERE'S NAT?

HI.

IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?

MY PLASTIC'S
COMPLETELY MAXED OUT.

NO ONE WILL EXTEND
OUR CREDIT,

SO THAT'S IT.

AT LEAST YOU GOT
THE SAT-PHONE.

THE RADIO'S BEEN PULLING IN
NOTHING BUT STATIC.

MAYBE IT'S TIME
WE CONSIDER PACKING IT IN.

NO, WE'RE NOT
FINISHED YET.

I JUST LOCATED
A NEW CANDIDATE SITE.

REALLY?
YEAH.

BUT WE'LL HAVE TO DO
A BIGGER SOUNDING

TO PINPOINT
THE LOCATION.

THIS WHOLE REGION'S SOFT SHALE--
IT'S NOT STABLE.

GUYS, I NEED
SOME MORE BLASTING GEAR.

WE WERE FINISHED HERE
A LONG TIME AGO.

BELIEVE ME.

BELIEVE ME,
I KNOW.

WE'RE HOT.

HOW'S IT LOOK?

HANG ON,
I'M GETTING A FIX.

COME ON,
I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT.

LOOK AT IT.

IT'S A CAP STONE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

IT LOOKS NEOLITHIC.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT--
AH!

YOU OKAY?

GET THE FLASHLIGHT!

THESE STONES WERE QUARRIED.

THIS TECHNOLOGY'S WAY BEYOND
ANY MOUND-BUILDER SITES.

THIS ENTIRE HILL
IS A BURIAL MOUND.

WE WERE ON TOP OF IT
THE WHOLE TIME.

THIS MUST BE
THE ANTECHAMBER.

SO, IF THE LAYOUT
IS TYPICAL,

THE CRYPT ENTRANCE
MUST BE...

THERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT WAS HUMAN.
HOMO SAPIENS,
--I THINK.

LOOKS LIKE
HE WAS MUTILATED.

YEAH.

AND SO DO THEY.

MY GOD.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

( Control Voice )
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR TELEVISION.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
THE PICTURE.

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING
THE TRANSMISSION.

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL,

AND THE VERTICAL.

WE CAN DELUGE YOU
WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE
TO CRYSTAL CLARITY...

AND BEYOND.

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION
CAN CONCEIVE.

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL
ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR.

( ♪ )

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.

HUMANS ARE DRIVEN
TO EXPLORE THEIR HISTORY,

TO REDISCOVER FORGOTTEN LIVES
AND TIMES,

FOR DEEP DOWN
WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN

THAT OUR PAST IS
OFTEN PROLOGUE.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND
OF SARCOPHAGUS.

MAYBE, BUT LOOK
AT THE TEXTURE.

IT DOESN'T LOOK
MANUFACTURED.

IT SEEMS MORE LIKE
A NATURAL MATERIAL.

IT'S GLASSY.

PROBABLY
A FOSSILIZED RESIN

LIKE AMBER OR SOMETHING.

AMBER MAKES
AN EXCELLENT
PRESERVATIVE.

COULD BE
A MUMMIFICATION
TECHNIQUE.

FEELS LIKE WE'RE IN
GRAD SCHOOL AGAIN.

WE'RE A GOOD TEAM.

THE CRANIUM LOOKS DEFORMED.

THAT COULD SUGGEST
SOME TRAUMATIC INCIDENT.

YOU THINK?

WELL, THIS COULD BE
A SACRIFICIAL ALTAR.

IF WE WERE IN EGYPT,
I'D SAY THIS WAS A PHARAOH

AND THESE POOR BASTARDS
BUILT HIS TOMB.

NO INDIGENOUS
NORTH AMERICAN CULTURE

HAS BURIAL RITES LIKE THIS.

UNTIL NOW.

WELL...

YOU WERE RIGHT.

YOU FOUND IT.

COME ON,
WE GOT WORK TO DO.

LET'S BRING
ALL THE GEAR DOWN HERE.

I WANT ALL
THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT

IN THE CRYPT A.S.A.P.

WE'LL ANALYZE THE REMAINS
IN SITU.

TAKE THE VIDEO
AND THE STILL CAMERAS.

HOW MUCH FILM
DO WE HAVE?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE'LL USE EVERYTHING.

NATALIE, WE DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT

TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING
THIS BIG.

WE SHOULD
BRING IN SOME HELP.

NO.

I'VE GOT CONTACTS
AT FERRITIN LABORATORIES.

THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE.

THEY CAN BE TRUSTED
TO KEEP EVERYTHING

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

MAYBE EMMET'S
GOT A POINT.

NO, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY
NEAR THIS PLACE.

NOT UNTIL WE HAVE DOCUMENTED
EVERYTHING OURSELVES.

AND THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S GOING TO BE!

NAT, NAT.

HE'S RIGHT,
THIS IS TOO BIG.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH BRINGING IN OUTSIDE HELP.

CURTIS, YOU KNOW
HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

NO ONE WILL
TAKE THIS AWAY FROM YOU.

I THOUGHT THAT TOO
UNTIL JAVI GRILLO PUBLISHED--

JAVI GRILLO PUBLISHED
YOUR LINEAR B TRANSLATION

AND GOT ON THE COVER
OF
GEOGRAPHIC HISTORY.

THAT WAS 12 YEARS AGO.

NO ONE'S GOING
TO STEAL YOUR CREDIT.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT THEY'RE NOT.

THAT'S EVERYTHING.

READY TO GO?

YEAH.
NATALIE COULDN'T WAIT.

SHE'S ALREADY DOWN THERE
SETTING UP WITH THE BOYS.

WHY DOESN'T THAT
SURPRISE ME?

WE NEED TO TALK.
WHAT'S UP?

IF THIS THING
TURNS OUT TO BE

AS BIG AS
WE THINK IT IS,

WE COULD STILL GET
CUT OUT OF IT.

A FIRST NATIONS LAWSUIT CLAIMING
THE SITE FOR THEMSELVES...

I KNOW THE RISKS.

I'M JUST WORRIED
THAT NATALIE MAY NOT HAVE

THE BIG PICTURE
IN MIND.

SHE'S NOT GOING
TO LISTEN TO ME...

YOU THINK
SHE'LL LISTEN TO ME?

YOU DID MANAGE
TO CONVINCE HER TO MARRY YOU.

THE LAST ARGUMENT
I EVER WON WITH HER.

THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO.

WELL, I HAVEN'T WON ONE YET.

BUT NOW,

THIS TIME

I HAVE TO COME AWAY FROM THIS
WITH SOMETHING TANGIBLE.

DON'T WORRY.
IT'LL WORK OUT THIS TIME.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

I UNDERSTAND
EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.

I REALLY HOPE YOU DO.

NEGATIVE.

NO REACTION TO HCL
OR CARBOLIC ACID.

ARE YOU SURE
IT'S ORGANIC?

LET'S TAKE
A SAMPLE.

WE'LL ANALYZE THE RESULTS
WHEN WE GET BACK TO ANCHORAGE.

THIS STUFF'S HARD.

DAMN.

CURTIS.

CURTIS!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.

OH, MY GOD.

THERE WAS A TINGLING FEELING
IN MY HAND.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN
A THERMAL RELEASE.

YOU MIGHT BE SENSING

THE START OF
A CHEMICAL REACTION.

THAT COCOON WENT
FROM SOLID TO LIQUID

TO WHO-KNOWS-WHAT
IN SECONDS.

THAT WASN'T LIKE ANY
CHEMICAL REACTION I'VE SEEN.

ALL I COULD SEE
WAS THESE IMAGES,

THESE HORRIBLE IMAGES.

THERE WERE THESE
PRIMITIVE HUMANS

AND THEY WERE
BEING ATTACKED

BY SOMETHING
TEARING AT THEM WITH CLAWS.

LIKE A DREAM BEING FORCED
INTO MY HEAD.

FROM WHERE?

FROM HIM.
THE SKELETON?

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?

CURTIS,
YOU WERE EXPOSED

TO A CHEMICAL AGENT

WITH EFFECTS
WE CAN ONLY GUESS AT.

IT WAS PROBABLY
HALLUCINOGENIC.

( Curtis )
THERE ARE CULTURES WHO BELIEVE

THAT THE REMAINS OF THE DEAD
CARRY

MEMORIES THAT CAN BE ACCESSED.

ARE YOU SAYING
THAT THESE BONES
ARE TELEPATHIC?

THAT THIS THING IS COMMUNICATING
WITH YOU?

THAT THING IS DEAD.

IT WAS ALIVE ONCE

AND IT HAD INTELLIGENCE.

YEAH, ONE HELL
OF A TEMPER.

THERE'S NOTHING IN NATURE
THAT UNDERGOES A METAMORPHOSIS

LIKE THE ONE WE SAW.

NOTHING ON THIS PLANET, ANYWAY.

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

OH, DON'T SAY IT.

THIS THING COULD BE AN ALIEN.

HE SAID IT.

ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.

LET'S NOT JUMP
TO CONCLUSIONS.

YOU NEED TO LIE DOWN.

GET A SAMPLE
FROM THE COATING.

OH, YEAH, THAT
SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

GET ME A COTTON SWAB--
A LONG ONE.

YOUR VITALS
ALL LOOK GOOD.

I STILL FEEL
KIND OF WEAK.

YOU BETTER GET
SOME REST.

DO YOU NEED
ANYTHING ELSE?

NO.

YOU BETTER GO
BACK THERE

BEFORE EMMET
SCREWS SOMETHING UP.

I'LL CHECK ON YOU
LATER.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

I'M NOT SURE.

WE'RE NOT EQUIPPED
TO DO MUCH ANALYSIS HERE.

WE CAN DO
THE SUPPORTING TESTS

WHEN WE GET BACK
TO ANCHORAGE.

WE CAME HERE LOOKING
FOR ARROWHEADS

AND POTTERY SHARDS,

NOT ALIEN COCOONS THAT DISSOLVE
WHEN YOU POKE THEM.

THIS IS WAY MORE
THAN WE CAN HANDLE.

OH,
DON'T START WITH

THE CORPORATE PARTNERS
ROUTINE, EMMET.

WE ARE AS COMPETENT

AS THOSE FERRITIN
LAB JOCKEYS.

BUT NOT AS
WELL-EQUIPPED.

THAT SKELETON IS
ORGANICALLY ACTIVE.

YOUR HUSBAND HAD
DIRECT CONTACT WITH IT.

WHAT IF HE NEEDS
MEDICAL ATTENTION?

CURTIS IS FINE.

HE'S JUST A LITTLE
FREAKED OUT.

YOU MAKE IT SOUND
LIKE HE SPRAINED HIS ANKLE.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL OR NOT,
THIS RESIN IS PROBABLY

THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD.

IT COULD BE TOXIC,
IT COULD BE BIO-REACTIVE.

WHICH SUPPORTS
MY POINT.

IF WE BRING
OTHER PEOPLE IN NOW

THE GOVERNMENT
WILL BE ON TOP OF US.

YOU WANT TO ADD
ALIEN CONTAMINATION?

THEY'LL SEAL UP
THIS PLACE

UNDER THE CLOAK
OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

WHISK THOSE BONES AND US
AWAY TO AREA 51.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

OF COURSE IT WILL.

MAYBE.

BUT SOONER OR LATER
WITH SOMETHING THIS BIG

WE'RE GOING TO NEED
SOME HELP.

I'LL GO CHECK ON THE BOYS.

( beeping )

ANYTHING NEW?

WELL, IT HASN'T GOTTEN UP
AND DANCED THE MACARENA

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

THERE'S NO OBSERVABLE CHANGES.

I WANT SOMEONE HERE

TO KEEP AN EYE
ON THAT...

THING AROUND THE CLOCK.

WE'LL TAKE SHIFTS.

FABER,
YOU'RE UP FIRST.

WAIT A MINUTE.

SUPPOSE IT STARTS CHANGING,

OR GROWING THOSE CLAWS
CURTIS SAW.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THEN?

WELL,

WE'RE A SCIENTIFIC
EXPEDITION.

TRY REASONING WITH IT.

WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING.

IT'S JUST BEEN
A LONG, STRANGE DAY.

YEAH, I NOTICED.

HOW ARE YOU?

SCARED.

I GOT A BAD FEELING
ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING.

YEAH, NO KIDDING.

IF EMMET HAD HIS WAY,
THE PLACE WOULD BE CRAWLING

WITH EXPERTS
FLOWN IN TO HELP US.

I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THAT.

FORGIVE ME FOR HARPING
ON MY OWN PROBLEMS,

BUT I WAS TOUCHED
BY AN ALIEN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

YOU CHECKED OUT PHYSICALLY.

IF THERE WAS
AN ADVERSE REACTION,

YOU'D BE ON A PLANE
BACK TO ANCHORAGE.

AS IT IS,
OUR ASSOCIATE IS TRYING

TO DICTATE TERMS
ON OUR DISCOVERY,

AND I WOULD APPRECIATE
SOME SUPPORT.

WHAT HAVE I GIVEN YOU
FOR THE LAST 10 1/2 YEARS?

I'VE BEEN TAGGING ALONG
ON YOUR WORLD TOUR

OF EVERY GODFORSAKEN
SAND PIT AND ROCK QUARRY

FOR MY HEALTH?

YOU'RE AN ARCHEOLOGIST...
AT LEAST YOU USED TO BE.

DO YOU LISTEN TO ME
WHEN I'M SPEAKING?

I'VE SAID
I WANT A POSTING

IN THE STATES, LIKE
THAT WORKSHOP AT FLORIDA STATE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT WE'VE UNCOVERED?

YOU DON'T FIND
ALIEN BURIAL MOUNDS

STROLLING ACROSS THE QUAD
IN TALLAHASSEE.

IF YOU WANT ANCIENT HISTORY,
WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT

THE LAST TIME
YOU CARED ABOUT ME?

THAT IS SO UNFAIR.

WHY NOT?
IT'S TRUE.

YOU'RE MORE CONCERNED
ABOUT GETTING CREDIT

FOR YOUR DISCOVERY

THAN YOU ARE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

TO HELL WITH
WHAT WE WANT.

THIS DISCOVERY IS BIGGER
THAN BOTH OF US.

IT COULD BE THE BIGGEST FIND
IN HUMAN HISTORY,

AND YOU'RE REDUCING IT TO
AMMUNITION IN A MARITAL FIGHT.

YOU'RE JEALOUS.

I JUST FIGURED OUT
WHY YOU'RE MAD.

THAT SACK OF BONES

IS A THOUSAND TIMES
MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU

THAN IT IS TO ME,

BUT IT MADE CONTACT
WITH ME, NOT YOU.

YOU'RE MAD.

IF THAT REALLY WAS
COMMUNICATION

BETWEEN YOU
AND AN ANCIENT PRESENCE,

THEN YEAH, I'M ENVIOUS.

UNEARTHING RELICS IS
THE CLOSEST I'VE EVER GOTTEN

TO EXPERIENCING THE PAST,

AND WHATEVER
YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT ME,

THE THRILL OF MAKING
THAT CONNECTION,

OF CROSSING TIME AND SPACE

TO GET A GLIMPSE
OF HOW THINGS WERE,

THAT IS THE ONE THING...

THAT IS THE ONE THING
THAT STILL MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE.

( Faber )
EMMET! EVERYBODY!

COME QUICK!

THE INSTRUMENTS STARTED
GOING CRAZY.

THEY GOT WORSE THE CLOSER
I MOVED THE SENSORS

TO THE SKELETON.

THERE COULD BE
AN ENERGY BUILDUP IN THE BONES.

WHERE IS THE ENERGY
COMING FROM?

LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS GOING ON?

I THINK IT'S
COMING BACK TO LIFE.

I SEE IT,

BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS

DID I EVER IMAGINE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD BE
TRYING TO TALK TO IT

OR RUNNING AWAY FROM IT.

NOTHING IN NATURE
REGENERATES LIKE THIS.

NOT AFTER CENTURIES
OF BEING DEAD.

OR DORMANT.

DO YOU HAVE
A THEORY?

WELL, IT'S MORE
OF A HUNCH, REALLY.

WHAT IF THIS CREATURE
WAS NEVER ACTUALLY DEAD?

WHAT IF IT'S ABLE TO EXIST
IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES?

ONE THE WAY WE FOUND IT--

DORMANT, ENCASED IN
A LIFE-SUSTAINING SHELL.

THE OTHER,
AN ACTIVE LIVING STATE.

AND THE TRANSITION OCCURS
WHEN THE SHELL LIQUIFIES

AND GETS REABSORBED
INTO THE SKELETAL STRUCTURE.

AND SINCE THE ORGANISM
RECONSTITUTES ITSELF

OUT OF ITS OWN DISTILLED
RAW MATERIAL...

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THE DNA
FOR ITS INTERNAL ORGANS,

ITS BRAIN AND OTHER
CHARACTERISTICS

WOULD BE EMBEDDED
IN THIS RESINOUS MATERIAL.

PROTECTED UNTIL
THE CALL COMES TO WAKE UP.

MY GOD,
THINK OF THE IMPLICATIONS.

IF YOU COULD FIGURE OUT

HOW THAT SHELL WORKS
AS A DNA STORAGE BAY

YOU CAN FIGURE OUT

HOW THE SPARK OF LIFE
IS TRANSMITTED.

( Emmet )
AND LEARN HOW
TO CHEAT THE REAPER?

SOMEBODY WOULD PAY
A PRETTY PENNY

FOR A RECIPE
LIKE THAT.

I LIKE THAT
ABOUT YOU, EMMET.

ALWAYS KEEPING AN EYE
ON THE BOTTOM LINE.

WHAT DID YOU
FIND OUT?

I'VE BEEN ANALYZING THE SAMPLE
FROM THE NEW GROWTH.

THE REGENERATION RATE
IS PHENOMENAL.

BUT THERE'S A LIMIT
TO WHAT I CAN DO HERE.

I NEED A DNA SEQUENCER,
A WET CHEM LAB.

WE HAVE TO CALL IN
REINFORCEMENTS ON THIS.

( Natalie )
WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION.

AND WE NEED
TO HAVE IT AGAIN.

WE'RE IN OVER OUR HEADS.

I'M TIRED
OF HEARING THIS.

AND I'M GETTING REALLY TIRED
OF SAYING IT.

DON'T YOU SEE
THAT WE'LL BLOW THIS IF WE--

CURTIS,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

CURTIS!

CURTIS.

PUT HIM DOWN.

THAT WAS BRILLIANT,

TOUCHING
THAT THING AGAIN.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND.

UNDERSTAND WHAT?

THE HIDDEN HEALTH BENEFITS
OF ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK?

YOU WERE IN
CONVULSIONS, MAN.

THAT THING IS
KILLING YOU.

IT JUST TAKES
A LOT OUT OF ME.

I'M OKAY.

OH, SOMETHING INCREDIBLE'S
HAPPENING HERE.

YEAH, SOME KIND OF
GENETIC FREAKSHOW.

ALL WE NEED IS
A BEARDED LADY

AND A FERRIS WHEEL.

IT'S NOT FROM THIS WORLD,
AND IT'S NOT A DANGER TO US.

YOU FIGURE
IT SAID

THE SAME THING TO OUR FRIENDS
FROM THE STONE AGE?

I SAW WHAT HAPPENED.

IT DIDN'T ATTACK THEM,
THEY ATTACKED IT.

HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE IT TOLD ME,
IT SHOWED ME.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

IF IT IS COMMUNICATING
TELEPATHICALLY,

MAYBE IT'S JUST SHOWING YOU
WHAT IT WANTS YOU TO SEE.

IT DOESN'T WORK
THAT WAY.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT

EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH IT,
IT HURTS YOU.

I'M TAKING A BREAK,
THEN I'LL COME BACK

AND LEARN MORE.

NO WAY,
THAT'S IT.

NO ONE TOUCHES THAT THING
UNTIL WE KNOW MORE,

ESPECIALLY YOU.

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

YOUR HEARTBEAT'S
STILL RACING.

B.P. IS WAY UP.

WHAT'S WRONG, NAT?

THIS CREATURE'S
NOT DANGEROUS.

NO OFFENSE,

BUT HAVE YOU TAKEN
A LOOK AT YOURSELF?

YOU LOOK LIKE HELL.

IT ABSORBS ENERGY FROM ME
TO ENABLE IT TO REGENERATE.

SO IT'S SUCKING
THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.

IT'S NOT TRYING TO HARM ME,
IT'S TRYING TO INTERACT WITH ME.

YOU'RE LETTING YOUR FEAR
GET IN THE WAY,

JUST LIKE
THOSE PRIMITIVE HUMANS DID.

NATURE GAVE US FEAR
TO KEEP US ALIVE.

AND AFTER WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH
FROM THE FIRST CONTACT,

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WANT TO DO IT AGAIN.

FOR YOU.

FOR US.

WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THIS THING
BEING BIGGER THAN THE TWO OF US,

THIS IS PROBABLY
THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

THAT I GOT A GLIMPSE
AT WHAT DRIVES YOU.

YOU'RE RIGHT--

THIS CONNECTION I HAVE,
OR WHATEVER IT IS, IS A GIFT.

I WANTED TO KNOW
WHAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH

TO MAKE YOU FORGET
ABOUT ME.

I NEVER FORGOT YOU.

I DID PUT YOU
OFF TO THE SIDE, BUT...

I JUST TOOK FOR GRANTED
THAT YOU WOULD BE THERE

WHEN THE WORK WAS DONE.

I'M SORRY.

WHEN THIS THING
IS OVER,

I PROMISE
WE'LL TAKE A BREATHER,

JUST YOU AND ME.

MAYBE WE'LL DO
SOME TEACHING TOGETHER.

IT'S FUNNY, YOU KNOW.

I HAD TO TOUCH AN ALIEN
TO GET CLOSER TO YOU.

ENJOY YOUR WATCH.

JUST REMEMBER
NOT TO HOLD HANDS WITH IT.

NOT ALL YOUR IDEAS
ARE USELESS.

LET ME ASK YOU GUYS
A QUESTION.

WHAT DID YOU
COME HERE FOR?

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE,
CLEARLY.

WE NEEDED THE WORK.

THINK YOU'RE BEING PAID ENOUGH
FOR THIS?

NOT BY A MILE.

IF NATALIE HAS ANYTHING TO DO
WITH IT, YOU NEVER WILL.

YOU'RE RISKING YOUR LIVES
FOR NOTHING.

YOU THINK SHE CARES ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENS TO US?

LOOK HOW SHE TREATS
HER OWN HUSBAND.

HE'S OBVIOUSLY SICK.

FOR ALL WE KNOW,
HE COULD BE DYING.

BUT SHE REFUSES TO TAKE HIM
OUT OF HERE.

I'VE KNOWN NATALIE
A LONG TIME.

BELIEVE ME, SHE'S ONLY IN IT
FOR THE GLORY.

WHAT ARE YOU IN IT FOR?

TO GET WHAT I DESERVE.

WHAT I'VE EARNED.

WHAT WE ALL HAVE.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
IN MIND?

ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

NO, BUT I HAVE TO.

WE'VE COME TOO FAR.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
TO LEARN.

HURRY UP
WITH THAT STRETCHER.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

OH, MY GOD!

IT'S COMPLETELY
RECONSTITUTED ITSELF.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE.

WHAT'S WITH THE STRETCHER?

WE'RE MOVING IT.
LIKE HELL YOU ARE.

YOU CAN'T JUST JERK
THIS THING AROUND.

YOU'LL KILL IT.

I GUESS I'LL JUST
HAVE TO TAKE MY CHANCES.

NO MORE TOUCHY-FEELY
WITH E.T. HERE.

IT'S DANGEROUS,
AND YOU'RE MAKING IT STRONGER.

IT NEEDS ME.

WELL, I NEED IT MORE.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON,
EMMET?

A CHANGE OF PLANS IS WHAT IT IS.

WE'RE CALLING FERRITIN
LABORATORIES RIGHT NOW.

IF WE BRING THEM PROOF
OF ALIEN LIFE,

I'M SURE THEY'LL
MAKE IT WORTH OUR WHILE.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS FIX THE PHONE.

OH, IT'S BROKEN?

WHAT A CHEAP PIECE OF--

FIX IT!

WE'RE GOING TO DO IT MY WAY.

THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER DONE.

ALL THOSE YEARS DIGGING
UNTIL MY KNEES ACHED

AND MY FINGERS BLED FOR YOU
AND YOUR HALF-ASSED THEORIES.

FINALLY WE MAKE THE BIG SCORE
AND YOU WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY

FOR THE GOOD
OF MANKIND

AND YOUR PICTURE
ON A MAGAZINE COVER?

WELL, YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
NATALIE?

FAME DOESN'T FEED YOU.

FIX THE PHONE.

LET ME GO.

HERE YOU GO.

YOU FIX IT.

TIE THEM UP.

( growling )

ARE YOU SURE
THIS IS NECESSARY?

WE HAVE TO KEEP
THE SITE COVERED UP

UNTIL WE GET BACK HERE
WITH THE FERRITIN TEAM.

WE'LL RADIO THEM
FROM THE LANDING STRIP.

I'LL SET A COUPLE MORE CHARGES
IN THE SHAFT.

BRING THE ALIEN
UP LAST.

WELL, THIS IS WHAT
YOU ALWAYS WANTED, ISN'T IT?

TIE ME UP?

THERE ARE WORSE FORMS
OF COUPLES THERAPY.

HAVING TO TALK,
FOR INSTANCE.

DEAN...DEAN!

COME ON,
DON'T LEAVE US LIKE THIS.

WE'RE NOT.

WE'RE TAKING YOU WITH US.

EMMET'S GOING TO GIVE YOU
A FAIR SHARE.

THAT'S NOT GOING
TO KEEP US QUIET.

YOU KNOW SOMEBODY'S
GOING TO BELIEVE US.

( Emmet )
DEAN, I'M HEADING BACK
TO THE CAMP.

I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

DEAN!

YOU'RE INVITING THEM
TO KILL US.

EMMET'S AFTER MONEY--
HE'S NOT A KILLER.

OH, YEAH.
NOT YET.

COME ON, WE GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE
A KNIFE IN YOUR BOOT?

AFRAID NOT.

NO, YOU ALWAYS WERE
A MORE ACADEMIC ARCHEOLOGIST.

( chuckling )

HEY, THIS IS
A BURIAL MOUND,

ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

SO SHOULDN'T THERE BE
FUNERARY OFFERINGS,

LIKE TOTEMS,
OBJECTS OF ART?

WEAPONS.

IF THERE WERE
WEAPONS IN HERE,

WHERE
WOULD THEY BE?

THEY'D BE ON
THE INSIDE EAST WALL

BETWEEN THE CRYPT
AND THE ENTRY SHAFT

SO THE GHOST WARRIORS
CAN GUARD AGAINST GRAVE ROBBERS.

CAN YOU DO IT?

YEAH.

ONE, TWO, THREE...

PUSH.

OKAY, WHICH WAY
TO THE EAST WALL?

WHICH WAY
IS THE EAST WALL?

I THINK
IT'S THIS WAY.

COME ON,
PUT ME OVER THERE.

YOU READY?

MM-HMM.

IT'S PRETTY FIRM.

WELL, KEEP TRYING.

OKAY, NOW
COME OVER HERE.

THAT SOUNDS HOLLOW.

YES!

THOSE ARE MOUND-BUILDER WEAPONS.

EVERYONE SAID THEY WOULDN'T BE
WITHIN 3,000 MILES FROM HERE.

QUIT GLOATING
AND HELP ME OUT HERE.

YOU READY?

COME ON, WE GOT TO MOVE!

LAY OFF

UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO IT
BY YOURSELF.

I WILL IF I HAVE TO.

OKAY, I GOT IT.

OH, GOD, LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.

NOT WITHOUT THE ALIEN.

NO,
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I FELT
WHEN I TOUCHED HIM.

HE COULD BE CONTROLLING
YOUR MIND.

THERE MUST BE SOME REASON
WHY HE WAS KILLED

AND SEALED IN A TOMB.

THOSE PRIMITIVE HUMANS THOUGHT
HE WAS A GOD.

THEY BUILT THIS TOMB
TO HONOR HIM.

ARE YOU SURE OF IT?

THAT'S NOT
GOOD SCIENCE.

IT'S NOT FAIR
TO HOLD YOU BACK.

BUT I HAVE
TO HELP HIM.

HE'S BEEN STRUGGLING TO STAY
ALIVE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

I WON'T LET EMMET
TURN HIM INTO A LAB RAT.

I'LL CATCH UP
TO YOU LATER.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS,
I WILL TOO.

NAT.

I'M SUPPORTING YOU
FOR A CHANGE.

SHUT UP AND LET ME DO IT.

OH, WOW.

HE'S TOO WEAK TO MOVE.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?

HE NEEDS MORE ENERGY.

DOUBLE-CHECK THE CHARGES.

I'LL GET CURTIS
AND NATALIE FIRST.

OH, MY GOD.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT
HE WANTS TO DO, TOO.

HE'S COMING WITH US.

STOP RIGHT THERE.

( Emmet )
FABER, DEAN, THE ALIEN'S UP.

GET DOWN HERE!

EMMET,
HE'S VERY WEAK.

HE COULD BE DYING.

GIVING HIS LIFE TO THAT THING?

HOLY CRAP.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
TO LET US GO, EMMET.

I'M DOING
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ME.

BUT THERE MAY BE OTHERS
OF HIS KIND.

THEY LEFT HIM HERE
FOR 10,000 YEARS.

I DON'T THINK
THEY MISS HIM VERY MUCH.

EMMET.

DON'T TEST ME.
I'LL DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

EMMET, THIS IS A LIVING,
BREATHING ALIEN.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE.

IT'S TOO IMPORTANT
FOR THE PLANET.

NO, THIS IS FAR TOO IMPORTANT

FOR A PAIR OF FAILED
ARCHEOLOGISTS LIKE YOU.

I'M SORRY.

( roaring )

HELP ME, DAMN IT!

NO, YOU'LL HIT THE CHARGES!
DON'T!

NO!

NAT, NAT, LOOK AT ME.

KEEP TALKING.

TALK TO ME.

BEING AN ACTION HERO
IS SO PAINFUL.

YOU'RE BLEEDING.

WELL, CALL 9-1-1.

HOW DO I STOP
THE BLEEDING?

I TOOK A LOT...

A LOT OF ANATOMY
TO GET THIS DEGREE.

I AM DONE FOR.

IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER.

DEAN!
ANYONE HEAR ME?

EMMET, WE NEED HELP.

HEY,
KEEP TALKING TO ME.

THAT'S GOOD.

I'M SORRY
I PUT YOU THROUGH SO MUCH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU NEVER LEFT ME.

I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T.

OH!
WHAT DOES HE WANT?

I'M SORRY.

WE NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU.

( snarling )

IT'LL BE OVER SOON, NAT.

I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU.

EASY.

EASY, NOW.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

WHERE AM I?

THE BETTER QUESTION IS, "WHEN?"

IT'S BEEN NEARLY 1,000 YEARS.

WHAT?

NATALIE...
WHERE'S NATALIE?

HER WOUNDS WERE QUITE SEVERE,
SO WE REVIVED HER FIRST

IN CASE THERE WERE
ANY COMPLICATIONS.

BUT FORTUNATELY OUR TECHNOLOGY
HAS ADVANCED CONSIDERABLY.

CURTIS.

NATALIE,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THE ALIEN SPRAYED US WITH
HIS RESINOUS PRESERVATIVE.

TURNS OUT HE'S
AN ANTHROPOLOGIST OF SORTS.

A LEGEND AMONG HIS PEOPLE.

HIS FATE WAS NEVER KNOWN
UNTIL THEY FOUND US.

AND THE FACT THAT WE TRIED
TO SAVE HIS LIFE

HAS MADE US HEROES
ON THEIR PLANET, AND HERE.

HEROES?

ME AND HIM?

NO, HE'S ONE OF THEIR DOCTORS.

THE ALIEN WE FOUND IS DEAD.

HE SPRAYED US
WITH ALL HIS PRESERVATIVE.

HE ONLY HAD ENOUGH
FOR TWO.

HE SAVED OUR LIVES, CURTIS.

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

IS THIS REAL?

COME HERE.

I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

A NEW WORLD WHERE HUMANS
AND ALIENS LIVE TOGETHER,

LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND
EACH OTHER.

THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.

WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS?

SOMEBODY ELSE
PUBLISHED FIRST.

( Control Voice )
THEY SAY WHAT YOU SEND AROUND
COMES AROUND.

PERHAPS THAT IS TRUE,

EVEN IF IT SOMETIMES TAKES
A THOUSAND YEARS.
