Touched by an Angel (1994–2003): Season 8, Episode 1 - Holy of Holies - full transcript

Now what are you gonna do?

Up to your old tricks, huh?

Well, you just watch this.

Check.

Never underestimate
the advantage of outliving

your opponent, my darling.

Hello, Catherine.

Why am I not afraid?

Because you know who I am.

Wait. Uh, can you
give me a minute?

I've got something to do.



Sure. It happens all the time.

Well, the things that we
leave to the last minute.

I don't want to
keep you, but this...

this is important.

Or do you already know that?

Well, I pretty much work
on a need-to-know basis.

Well, somebody needs
to know about this.

This has just been
sitting in a suitcase

in Springfield? Since...?

Since 1947.

Can't let it sit here anymore,

or it'll just end up on eBay

with everything
else around here.

I had four children,



12 grandchildren, 16
great-grandchildren,

and only one of them
is worth a tinker's damn.

I don't, uh, suppose

that you could swing by the
post office for me, could you?

Sure.

I better... sit down for this.

How long have you been an angel?

About 6,000 years,
give or take a century.

Have you always
been a caseworker?

No, no, no.

I was in Annunciations.

Then I was in
the choir, briefly,

and Search and Rescue.

The choir sounds nice,

but I don't even
know if I can sing.

"Learn to sing."

I also need to learn
rollerblading, get a cell phone,

and acquire a
thorough understanding

of human reproduction.

Gloria... you will
find as you go along

that God will give you
what you need to know

when you need it.

The talent to sing,
the skill of a surgeon,

the eye of a photographer.

Why, he's already given
you the-the mind of a...

Computer?

I have an unlimited capacity

to process and store
data and retrieve memory.

I mean, I can tell you
all the components

of that rose over
there, but... But?

I can't tell you
why it's beautiful.

Although, I did read
this morning that

a thing of beauty
is a joy forever.

Gloria, you've only been
an angel for six days.

You need to learn patience.

I need to learn everything.

Yes, you do, and
Monica and I have decided

that an angel in training
should have a solid background

of the classics.

You have a wonderful
21st century sort of mind,

but, well, it's hard
to be a techno-angel

without some context in history.

History. Of course. I
need to learn the history

of the cell phone before
I start actually using one.

We were thinking of
something a little more historical.

We were thinking Genesis,
Exodus, the Ten Commandments.

Ten? Is that all?

Look, there's Andrew.

And you actually saw it?

I wrapped it for her.

Then you'd better mail it,

and, Monica, you just
got your assignment.

What about the Ten Commandments?

Don't worry about it, baby.

You'll learn them.

You might even see them.

So remember, don't
ask any questions.

Just sit there and
take the class,

and whatever you do...

I wish we had had more time.

Whatever you do, do not
tell him that you're an angel.

Nobody's supposed
to know we're...

Uh-uh. See... it says in here.

There.

"For some have
entertained angels unaware."

You see?

We're the angels,
they're unaware, okay?

- Okay.
- And another thing.

If you see me,
you don't know me.

I don't?

No. Not until we meet.

- Then I know you?
- Right.

- Okay.
- Okay.

I'm going to college.

A hundred years ago,

Las Vegas didn't exist,

400 years ago, New York
couldn't be found on a map,

but 3,000 years ago,

the, uh, Egyptian pyramids
were already ancient history.

Read the Bible, read the works
of Herodotus and Josephus,

and then read the
morning newspaper.

Uh, you'll see the same
names, the same places,

even the same bloodshed going on

in the same Palestine,
the same Jerusalem,

the same River Jordan,
the same Temple Mount

where Solomon built his temple

and where the Ten
Commandments may even be

buried in the Ark
of the Covenant.

Do you really think the
lost Ark is still out there?

The Israelites actually
carried the Ark with them

as they wandered
through the desert.

Uh, with Moses.

Right, and...

and it contained all
kinds of sacred objects,

including the, uh, uh, tablets
with the Ten Commandments

that Moses actually brought
down from Mount Sinai.

It ended up in Solomon's Temple,

and then around 586 BC,
when the temple was destroyed,

the Ark just disappeared.

Now, some say it
was taken to Ethiopia,

but most others still believe

that it is hidden underneath
the Temple Mount in Jerusalem,

and... oh, my goodness.

I'm sorry. I've gone over.

Um, we'll get to the
syllabus next Friday.

Nice to meet you all.

If-if they think it's still
there in Jerusalem,

why-why don't they
just go dig it up?

The Ark? Well, the
whole history of Israel is

in that question... Who
controls the Temple Mount?

The Jews? The Muslims?

Hey, Professor.

You got a minute? Can
I show you something?

Uh, office hours,
2:00 to 4:00, Paul.

Um, I'm sorry. If
you need to see me,

my office is in Doolin
Hall, room one, one, five,

hours 2:00 to 4:00.

Professor North,
my name is Monica.

I'm from the
VanderMeer Institute.

Oh, oh, good.

Well, since I hardly know
you, either of you, really...

I'll just be going.

I've, uh, been expecting you.

The institute has
every confidence

in your ability to
complete your book.

And that's why they sent you?

Well, they have made
a rather large grant,

so they want some
assurance that your work

on the political ramifications

of material
archaeological evidence

of the Temple Mount will
be complete on schedule.

It's coming along nicely.

Good. I look forward to reading
what you have before I leave.

Oh, gosh, you know, I'd
love that, but I-I really...

I've got another class to go to,

I've got student
meetings, then there's this

darn faculty
cocktail party thing.

At Dr. Hardwicke's?

Well, I'm going, too,
so we can talk tonight.

Oh, good. Great.

Uh... I'll see you then.

And then, this is waiting
for me when I got back.

I mean, she must have
mailed it the day she died.

I've never seen it before,
but my grandfather...

He spent a lot of time in
the Middle East in the '405.

Must have brought it back then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, I don't know what it is,

but if it's something
important, it'd be nice to know.

It's Aramaic, right?

Or is it Hebrew?

It's, um, Aramaic.

Uh, well, I... I really
can't say right now.

Um, you know, probably somebody
soaked some paper in some tea

and passed it off
to your grandfather

as an ancient document.

It happened a lot, uh, before

they started cracking
down on that sort of thing.

Well, but it looks so old.

Why don't you leave
it with me for a bit?

I'll send a sample
off for carbon dating,

maybe try and
translate some of it.

It probably says, "Welcome
to Tel Aviv" or something.

Well, okay, all right.

Um, thanks, Professor.

Ah.

These look good. Thank you.

- You're welcome.
- Thanks.

She's here because
I'm the department

chairman, I approved
the matching funds,

and if she sees
that I'm not worried,

maybe she won't worry.

I did you a favor.

A favor? She wants
to see the book.

Well, if you'd
actually written it

instead of blowing all
that grant money in Israel

looking for the Ark of
the Covenant, Tommy,

this wouldn't be a problem.

Is that my sister-in-law
talking, or my boss?

I'm still trying to explain

where the university's
half of that grant went.

Honestly, I can't
cover for you anymore.

You're becoming a laughingstock.

Not to mention, if you
don't publish something,

something legitimate,
you're not gonna get tenure.

I should've gotten
tenure a long time ago.

Well, how can you expect

the department to
take you seriously

with this lunatic
fringe archaeology

you insist on pursuing?

It's only lunatic
until I find it.

The Ark of the Covenant?

Ha.

Annabel, listen to me.

- I found something today.
- Not again.

No, you know

the third theory, the
one about Jeremiah

hiding the Ark in the desert.

On Mount Nebo.

It's an obscure
reference in 2 Maccabees.

Come on, Thomas, no historian
takes that book seriously.

Yes, but the author
of 2 Maccabees

claimed to have other documents

that corroborated his
account, remember?

The memoirs of Nehemiah.

But nobody's ever found them.

They may not even exist.

What if I told you
that I had seen

a first century BC copy
of Nehemiah's memoirs,

and they mention Jeremiah,

and Mount Nebo and the Ark?

I'd say you have something
worth writing a book about.

But not enough to start

digging up a mountain
range looking for a box.

Well, it's enough
to shift my focus

from Jerusalem to Mount Nebo.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Mount Nebo is full of
caves, hundreds of them.

You'll be dead before
you've ever even explored

a tenth of what's there.

Tommy, I love you.

I know why this
means so much to you,

and everyone has to
have a dream, I know that.

You know what my dream is?

That you find some peace.

Not in Jerusalem,
not on Mount Nebo,

but here.

Hi.

Gloria, why aren't
you in the library?

Well, I, I heard there was
a History Department party

and I'm studying history, so...

Yes, but this party

is for faculty, it's
not for students.

Monica?

Ginger ale, right?

Thank you.

Oh, this is Gloria.

I-I believe she's a student

of yours, Professor.

Yes, we've met.

Yeah, after we
spoke this morning,

I went to the library
and read the Bible.

- What book?
- Well, the whole thing,

actually, but something

in Ezekiel struck
me in particular

regarding your interest

in the Ark of the Covenant.

I was admiring the
egg on the mantel.

Is it Fabergé?

In Ezekiel, chapter ten,

he describes a vision
of the glory of God

on his throne in Jerusalem,

but he sees the glory
leaving, out the Eastern Gate,

through the Mount of
Olives, east into the desert.

But it was a vision, Gloria.

It was a dream he had.

It was possibly a hallucination.

Yes, and he never
actually mentions the Ark.

I love this ginger ale.

But the Ark always
followed the glory of God,

and I've seen the glory of God.

It's hard to miss, really.

You're saying you
believe Ezekiel?

What if God's glory
is code for the Ark

hidden in a vision
that only a true believer

would take seriously?

Out the Eastern Gate,
through the Mount of Olives,

east into the desert
would put you...

Thomas, it looks like

you've found another convert.

Good luck this semester, Gloria.

There's President Chandler.

Did I help him?

Yes, Gloria.

You did.

Jerusalem, Temple Mount,

out the Eastern Gate,

through the Mount of Olives,

across the desert,

across the Dead
Sea to... Mount Nebo.

I found it. I found it.

I found it.

So, it's genuine?

I didn't say that.

I said that it carbon
dated at 2,100 years old.

I read Aramaic, Professor.

I know what you
think you have there.

Is that right?

This scroll appears
to confirm the theory

that Jeremiah took
the Ark of the Covenant

and hid it in a cave
on Mount Nebo.

First of all, nobody
believes that theory.

And second, if they did,
they'd have to be nuts

to go digging around Mount Nebo

without some sort of map.

Well, what if someone
did figure out a map?

They might be crazy enough

to think they
could find that Ark,

and that would be a shame.

No.

That would be the greatest

archaeological discovery

in the history of the world.

Oh, really?

What would be the greatest?

The fame it would
bring the finder,

or the war that would
be fought over it?

You see, Professor, they keep

calling it the lost Ark.

It's not lost.

It's hidden,

and there's a good
reason for it to stay hidden.

It's not a movie.

It's real.

And it's holy.

How much do I owe you?

It's on the house.

But you think about
what I've said to you,

or you might find it'll cost you

more than you can even imagine.

Carbon dating says it's fake.

It's worthless.

Yeah.

Yeah, I figured.

Ah, so much for
dreams of glory, huh?

Well, it wasn't
glory I was after.

See, I was just hoping...

My grandmother had
all these grandchildren

and great-grandchildren,
and out of all of 'em,

she wanted me
to have this scroll.

You know, it's funny.

Everyone always
thought that she was crazy,

and I was just
hoping that she wasn't,

because out of
everyone in the family,

she was the only one

that was just a
little bit like me.

Well, um... maybe
this'll cheer you up.

Uh, how would you
like to be my T.A.?

Take over my class
for a couple weeks?

Me?

They're screaming for me

to finish this
article, and, uh...

I'm going to Israel and, uh,
you can make some money.

Well, yeah, that'd be great.

Sure, thanks.

Good, I'll set it up with
Dr. Hardwicke right away.

Annabel, I need to
talk to you, all right?

Go ahead, I'll catch up.

Annabel?

Uh, no. Uh, dinner, tonight.

Yes, so, anyway,
you were saying?

So he's going after the Ark.

It looks like it.

I tried to stop him.

- Maybe we should tie him up.
- Oh, that's

a wonderful idea.

And then we'll hit him in
the head with a frying pan.

That seems excessive.

You don't even know

- if this document is real.
- Oh, it's real.

The carbon dating proves it,

and nobody else
knows but you and me.

What about the student
who brought it in?

I told him it was a fake.

I can't have anyone
else involved.

You-you lied to him?

Thomas.

You know what this means to me.

She was my wife, Annabel.

And she was my sister, Tommy.

You're not honoring
her by lying and stealing.

And the answer is no.

You can't stop me.

I can take two weeks off any
time I want during the semester.

But I don't have
to cover for you,

and this isn't going to look
good to the tenure committee.

It will if I come
back with the Ark.

After years of searching, you
think you can go back to Israel

and find the Ark of the
Covenant in two weeks?

Yes.

I've got a way now to
narrow down the search

- to two, three caves tops.
- You know

what it's like over
there right now.

You could get killed.

So what?

You're crazy.

And even if you're
not crazy, you're broke.

You've already sold your car

and everything else of any value

to pay for your other
wild-goose chases.

I'll get the money.

I have to do this, Annabel.

You really are out of your mind.

Hold on.

Hello?

Oh, yes, I'm... I'm so sorry...

Why should the institute
spend another dime

to send you to Israel?

I'm not asking for anything.

I rustled up some
money on my own.

I'm going.

Mount Nebo is in Jordan,

and you cannot get
from Jerusalem to Jordan

- with the...
- I still have my credentials

from my last visit.

Credentials that
verify you as a scholar

working for the VanderMeer
Institute of Archaeology.

The institute paid
for those credentials,

and I have the right to ask

that they be
returned immediately.

But you're not going to.

No.

You're a desperate man

and you'll use
desperate measures

to get what you want.

So you can keep the credentials,

under one condition.

What's that?

That I go with you.

You need an expedition party.

You can't afford it.

I'll set it up.

We'll use my contacts,
and any additional costs

will be picked up
by the institute,

with the understanding
that regardless

of what you find or don't find,

you'll return to the
university in two weeks.

Yes.

Okay.

Let's do it.

♪♪

It's nice to have you back
so soon, Professor North.

It's great to be back, Ben.

There was a gentleman
asking for you.

- Hmm?
- Oh, there he is.

- Thank you.
- Uh-huh.

Thank you.

I need to take coordinates
from the Temple Mount

and the Mount of Olives,
so I'll need GPS capability.

That's already on the jeep.

So we'll, uh, cross Jordan
on the Allenby Bridge,

set up base camp
in the Valley of Peer,

up Mount Nebo,
to the top of Pisgah.

And I've got the permits,

but they're only gonna be
good for five days... short notice.

Well, we'll do the best we can.

Uh, one other thing.

I need a gun.

- I don't supply guns.
- Oh, come on,

there are guns on
every corner around here.

I'll provide you all the
protection that you need.

No guns.

Fine.

See you tomorrow morning.

♪♪

We're right on line.

Ah, there must be
50 caves up there.

Monica, where are those specs
we took at the Eastern Gate?

They're right here.

Thank you.

I-I just want you to know
how much it means to me

to be on this expedition,
and that you've taken

my Ezekiel theory so seriously.

But... upon further reflection,

I'm beginning to think
that finding the Ark

is not such a good idea.

I mean, isn't there
something else you could do

to become a famous
archaeologist?

You have no idea
why I'm doing this.

Ah, that's it.

Lines up exactly.

Cave A-57.

That's the one.

Andrew... track us in.

♪♪

That's it. You're there.

♪♪

Stop.

Stop in the name
of Almighty God.

Get out of the way.

What are you,
some sort of fanatic

out here protecting the Dead
Sea Scrolls or something?

You don't want to
do this, Thomas.

I don't want to
do it, but I will.

Well, death means little to me.

But becoming a murderer

would have great
significance for you.

Remember... I tried to warn you.

The desert's full of
religious nuts like that.

That's why I had to get a gun.

Oh!

What was that?

They used to be
my glasses, I think.

You better wait here, Gloria.

Stay with this man until
we come back for you.

- But...
- Think of it as an opportunity

to learn something, okay?

Here.

Here. Follow me.

Due east.

Still tracking.

Would you really have
killed that man back there?

Yes.

Andrew, there's three
different ways to go.

We're going to continue
straight ahead. Over.

I don't suppose
you have any tape?

Tape? No, I can't say that I do.

I haven't been off this mountain
for, oh, such a long time.

- It must get very lonely.
- That I don't mind,

but I haven't had a real
conversation for years.

Tell me, what's been
going on in the world.

Oh.

Well, I... I don't really know
that I can tell you anything,

because I-I haven't
been around that long.

- What do you mean?
- I'm an angel.

I... I was just created
two weeks ago.

You're an angel?

No kidding?

My name is Gloria.

I'm Micah.

We must be below
sea level by now.

We've been heading
downhill for hours.

GPS won't pick up
a signal anymore.

We're on our own.

We're turning south.

Andrew, we're gonna head south.

Andrew?

Andrew, do you read me?

Monica?

Monica, are you there? Come in.

♪♪

Well, first God
created me, and then...

I met Monica.

She's the one that
went into the cave.

She's an angel, too.

She likes coffee.

So she took me to
this cafe to try some,

and I met Tess there.

She's also an angel.

And then I met Madeline,
who... was not an angel.

She was just a... a little
girl who was my friend

and I... I fixed her
little mechanical dog.

And then... we saw Andrew

with a bunch of other angels,

and they went
into this building...

and then... the
building blew up.

And then we found Madeline...

and she was hurt.

So...

I went to the hospital
and I stayed with her

until she died.

She was the only
friend I ever had.

Except for the
angels, of course.

May I be your friend?

Okay.

I don't know about you,

but I'm getting kind of hungry.

Whoa. Thanks.

Can you jump it?

- Yeah.
- Good.

I'll go first.

Hey,

that's what we in the
archaeology business

call a leap of faith.

♪♪

Well, we 're going on day two.

We're gonna have to start
rationing our food and water.

Sorry, Monica,

but I didn't think it
would take this long.

Would it have
made any difference?

You seem determined
to find it, no matter what.

Five years ago I was
on a survey in Jerusalem.

We were mapping out
the Herodian Palace,

but as usual, I was
off researching the Ark.

Laura, my wife... was
five months pregnant.

I should have been back
in the States with her,

but I wasn't.

So she decided...
to come and visit me.

She was killed in a taxi

that crashed on the
way to the airport.

Oh... I'm so sorry.

We were kids together, and...

when Raiders of the Lost Ark
came out, she went with me

to see it four times,
and when I told her

that I wanted to
be an archaeologist

and that I wanted to
find the Ark for real,

she said she didn't care if we
lived in the past or the future,

as long as we lived it together.

She would've never
been in that car...

if I hadn't been here,

so damn determined to
make a name for myself.

Thomas, finding the Ark
won't bring your family back.

She believed in me.

She believed in what
I was trying to do.

If I don't find it, then
what did she die for?

I understand why it's
so important to you,

but you're searching

for the Ark of the Covenant,

the real Ark that contains
the real Ten Commandments,

and who knows how many you
have broken just coming this far.

You sound as if
you actually believe

that God put the Commandments
down on a mountaintop.

I do.

Look, Monica, there's the spot.

It's narrow, but...
but I think we can fit.

All right, leave everything.

Monica, hurry. Get in here!

Monica, quick.

Hold the light. Hold the light.

See it? Huh? Look. Look.

You see that?

Look. Look.

"You are standing
on... holy ground."

Monica, we're here.

"You're standing
on holy ground."

Look, there's more.

"Jeremiah." Over here.

Over here.

"The Law."

"Yahweh."

Monica, this is it.

This is it.

It's a man-made wall.

This rock around it
looks like it's ready to go.

Look.

Thomas, we should
think about this before...

Think?

Think about what?
This is what we came for.

You came to find peace.

You won't find it
violating a holy place.

This isn't a holy
place. This is a cave.

Wouldn't it be somethin' if we
were under Jerusalem after all?

There are just so
many things to do,

a-and I know angels are
supposed to live an eternity,

but an eternity doesn't
seem long enough.

I mean, look at this list of
things I have to do already.

Rollerblading, cell phones.

Well, you've got plenty of time
for all these things, but if you

could learn to sing, it
might come in handy today.

Are you a good learner?

I have unlimited memory

and an excellent capacity
for information retrieval.

Well, good. Let's
give it a try, shall we?

Now, listen very carefully.

I'm going to do what just fine?

Hello, Micah.

Andrew, nice to see you again.

Where's Tess?

She's on her way.

You.

Stop where you are,
Thomas Edward North.

Who are you?

I am Micah, an angel
of the Most High God.

The God of Abraham
and of Isaac and of Jacob.

The God of Moses, who placed

the tablets of the
law in this Ark,

which I protect.

Monica, are you seeing this?

Monica?

Be not afraid, Thomas.

You are in the
presence of angels.

- What?
- You've been surrounded

by angels all along the way.

We tried to discourage
you from coming this far,

because anyone who
stands in this holy place

bears a heavy burden
for the rest of their lives,

but you are here,

and we're here to help you heal

and to understand
what you're about to see.

- It's tr-true?
- Yes, it is

the Ark of the Covenant
that sits behind this veil.

It contains the tablets of
the Ten Commandments,

the staff of Aaron

and a jar of the manna
that God provided

for his children
in the wilderness.

It is where the presence
of God came to rest,

to comfort His lost children.

And God promises
that one day the Ark

will be restored to the
temple, and His presence

will again descend unto the Ark.

Until that time, His people

will continue to wander,

and His presence will
come to rest in the only

kind of ark that can
rise and follow Him now.

In the hearts of His people

and in your heart, Thomas.

That is where God
will come to rest

if you will make
a place for Him.

That is where
you will find peace.

Why should I find God

after what he did to Laura,
after what he did to me?

Humble yourself in the
sight of your God, Thomas.

He's not my God. He's your God,

and you can have Him.

Just let me see that.

I hate you.

I hate you.

Oh, God, I hate you!

Show me who you are!

What do you want from me?!

Thomas, stand up.

Please, stand up.

With the very commandments
that are hidden in this room, Thomas,

God has shown you
what is good and right.

And what does He ask of you?

To do justice.

To love mercy.

To walk humbly with your God.

To love Him.

To wait patiently for
Him to work in your life

and to trust that
the peace of God

that passes all
understanding will be yours

by His love and His mercy.

You may never understand
why your precious Laura

was taken from you...

but from this moment on

you will always know that
she lives now with the one

who loves, the one who is love

and who loves you so
much that He has allowed you

to be present in this moment.

I... can feel Him.

She's with Him, too, isn't she?

Yes.

Remember your heart is an ark,

and when the presence
of God rises from its rest,

what does an ark do?

Follow.

I'm not here to ask for tenure.

I don't expect it.

I don't even expect
to have my job.

I have lied and cheated
and stolen from you

and from my students and...

even from my family
to accomplish a dream

that some would call
frivolous or lunatic or fanatic.

And I know that if I told you

that I did find something

in that cave, something
better than the Ark...

that I found God,
that I found peace...

it would be met with cynicism

and ridicule, but it is true.

And it is a heavy burden to bear
because once you know the truth,

you are responsible for it.

I see now what I was

and what I must become...

and all I ask of you
is your forgiveness

and your good wishes,

and I will be on my way.

Paul! Hey.

Hey, Professor North.
Welcome back. How'd it go?

Fine. Just fine.

Uh, you want to
get a cup of coffee?

I've got somethin' to tell
you about your grandmother.

Yeah, sure.

It was a rough start
but a great finish, Gloria.

We're really proud of you.

So what do we do now?

What do you think?

We follow?

We follow.
