Relic Hunter s03e16 Episode Script

Relic Hunter We found him on the ice fields alone.
No food, no weapons.
Great spirit was about to claim him.
(klavikuk:)perhaps you should Have let him.
He's not one of us.
Why should a man choose to die So far away from his people? Maybe he was cast out.
Do not touch this pouch.
Do not touch me.
I'm death.
I must give the curse back To the creator before it's too late.
The cold has taken his mind.
(pilot:)arctic station peary, do you copy? Peary? Say again, do you copy? I still can't reach Arctic station peary on the radio.
Storm must've knocked 'em off the air.
So what happens now? Well, I can land.
But I can't stand by: The engine would freeze up.
It would be a drop-and-go.
A drop-and-go? Oh, man.
What's the alternative? Don't go.
(pilot:)arctic station peary, do you copy? Arctic station peary, do you copy? I say again, do you copy? You getting hazard pay? You could say that.
Nice.
I'm not.
I'm just here To repair the water system.
(nigel:)this is crazy, syd.
Come on, nigel.
How often do you get a chance like this? A man mummified in ice For hundreds of years? He's been fine all this time.
What's a couple more weeks? (knowles:)I've been on bases like this All around the circle.
You never get used to that arctic sting.
Freeze your nostrils together.
You think they would have, At the very least, Sent somebody to meet us.
It must be 50 below outside.
Makes the scottish coastline Look positively mediterranean in comparison.
I knew I shouldn't have Gotten on that chopper.
Third floor, ladies lingerie.
Hello? (nigel:)maybe somebody's going to jump out And say "surprise".
(simpson:) anyone here? They could be injured.
This place looks like hell.
Main facilities are this way.
(simpson:)hey, yo, hold up a minute.
What do you say we Just go back up top and Wait for some help? No one knows we're in trouble.
Uh, what about you? You don't look like the action type.
Excuse me.
Okay.
All right.
All right, It's your funeral.
But peep this.
In the movies, they're supposed To wait by the door.
But, no, they walk down the corridor.
Knowles? Sydney? Nigel? Never get off the vehicle, brother.
Never get off the vehicle.
(knowles:)right this way.
What happened here? Earthquake? I doubt it.
There'd be cracks On the walls and floors.
Maybe an explosion of some kind.
Huh.
No sign of fire.
Hello? Anyone? Hello? It's cold down here.
(simpson:)the heat's been down for a while, Judging from the temperature.
I'd say at least a couple of days.
Three days.
All this damage must've occurred After dr.
Garrison Called us about the iceman.
Through here.
I'm getting the hell out of here.
I'll second that.
Anyone know anything about electronics? (knowles:) a little.
(simpson:)knock yourself out.
I haven't got a clue.
You two don't work together? Uh-uh.
Met at the airport.
I'm just here to fix pipes.
He's gao.
Doing an audit.
This is ah, This is bad.
Whole com system's been demoed.
No shortwave, no sat link.
Even radar's down.
So we're cut off? Completely cut off.
(knowles:)we'll look around.
There may be backup.
Eight people can't just disappear.
(syd:)only eight? In a place this size? (knowles:)over a hundred during the cold war.
This was a distant early warning station; Now it's just an independent research facility.
The rest is ancient history.
Well those who don't pay attention To history are doomed to repeat it.
Those come in handy during an audit? Use channel two, Let's see if we can find any survivors.
(syd:)well, we're not going to survive Unless we get some heat turned on.
You said you're a plumber? I'm the man.
(syd:)can you fix the furnace? Pff.
Pipes are pipes.
I'll show you where it is.
Check in if you find anything.
What? What's wrong? What's a government auditor doing With a couple of hi-tech walkies? Civil service perks? That doesn't explain The gun in his duffel bag.
These people were scientists.
Rational, educated people.
What could've happened? "piece of cake"" you said.
Pop in, wrap the iceman And pop right back out again That's what you said.
Say it.
Just get it over with.
Say what? "i told you so".
I did voice specific concerns About our landing here.
Well, the sound I heard was A sound of knocking knees.
That's because I was freezing cold.
Look, neither of us expected this.
But we're here.
Hopefully, so is the mummy.
Well, let's hope we find it intact.
(simpson:)man, somebody really worked this thing over.
It doesn't make any sense They'd all freeze.
(knowles:)can you fix it? Be lucky to get this thing up To half speed without any parts.
The pilot system's a wreck.
Going to have (knowles:)do you hear that? (simpson:)bypass some conduits.
Manifold's shot.
[.]
(nigel:)quarantine lab? I wonder what they were up to here? (syd:)something that got them into trouble? Brr.
It's even colder in here.
[.]
(syd:)I think knowles knows More than he's telling us.
[.]
(nigel:)syd, someone's tried to break Into the medical lab.
Looks like whoever wanted to get In here wanted in bad.
Nigel, there's someone in there.
[knocking on the door.]
Hello! Can you hear me? Hello! Hello! (syd:)somehow we're going to batter this in.
Looks like a number three tumbler.
Tough lock.
You've opened worse.
(simpson:)almost.
Come on, baby.
Come to poppa.
That's what I'm talking about.
Knowles, I got the pilot lit.
How long before we have heat? "how long before" Oh, nice.
How 'bout "nice job, bruh.
" How 'bout, "man, you da man?" Something, where's the love, knowles.
(nigel:)knowles, it's nigel.
We found someone down in med lab.
I'm on my way.
(simpson:)hey.
Hey, where you going? Any trouble, I'll come running.
I can't light the main burner 'til the thermal coupler heats up.
Walkie's here.
Knowles? Knowles? My hands aren't working they're so numb.
I've almost got it.
(knowles:)fox? Bailey? Down here.
All right.
It feels like it's blocked.
All right.
On my count.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Okay.
She's alive.
(knowles:)let's get her out of here.
Grab her legs.
Syd, the walkie.
(syd:)yeah, got it.
(nigel:)who is she? Eleanor jensen.
Station medical officer is a woman.
That must be her.
She's lucky to be alive.
Why did she barricade herself in there? What was she afraid of? You better ask "who"? Looks like she's in shock.
Early stages of hypothermia, too.
We have to get her out of here.
Well, places like these always Have surface transports.
I'll tell you something right now.
Even if you find a 747, We're not going anywhere.
While we've been underground, That storm has probably be Simpson.
Simpson found the heat.
Hey, knowles.
Knowles? Yeah, go ahead.
(simpson:)what do you say, now, knowles? Where's the love, baby? Where's the love? (knowles:)yeah, good job.
Listen, can you find the medical lab, Back by the main elevator.
(simpson:)okay, hold on.
Oh, geez, no.
(knowles:)simpson, what's happened? I found them.
They're all dead.
Man, this is crazy.
Three people on station.
Six men, two women.
Got five men and one woman dead in there.
Varger, sorenson, jessup, Ross, reeves and prindigar.
Plus, eleanor jensen, that That makes seven.
One man missing.
Yeah.
Roland harley.
How do you know that? Huh? Spill it, knowles.
What do we have here? A need-to- know? A need-to-know? (syd:)he's no accountant.
Are you? Nia.
Holy sh A week ago, we picked up A suspicious satellite Phone call from up here.
Since when does the government tap The phones of an independent Research facility? You're joking, right? Who made the call? We're not sure.
A man.
We know that.
And you were sent to investigate.
Uh huh.
And now you know as much as I do.
Somehow I doubt that.
So you think it's roland harley? I think finding him's now our top priority, yes.
Now I really want to get out of here.
All right, look, This is what we're dealing with.
There are two accesses topside: The elevator we first came down And this one here.
Leads to the transport bay.
What we'll do is we'll start there, Check to see if any of the transpo's is gone And then we'll check the rest of the area.
The place is huge.
I'm going to go see If eleanor jensen is awake.
(knowles:)zip up, simpson, It's freezing up there.
[.]
I'll get the door.
It's freezing up here.
[wind howling.]
(knowles:)the snowmobiles are down.
All of 'em? Fuel level's low.
Two more canisters of fuel over here.
Now, let's get the others And get the hell out of here.
Nearest outpost is more than A hundred miles away.
That's close enough for me.
We wait until the storm is over.
Go to hell.
Just calm down.
(syd:)knowles, how are you doing? You find anything? Yeah, professor.
You could say that.
(syd:)this man is the reason We came here, nigel.
He was an anasazi warrior.
He's been buried in the ice For 500 years.
The anasazi lived in new mexico.
What are you doing so far from home? Oh, this This is all nice, All this love in room.
All home week and stuff.
But, um, I was just wondering When are we getting out of here? Look at the medicine pouch.
The marking.
Looks like a ladder.
The anasazi symbol for death.
(knowles:)is that what you came here for? The anasazi hold a particular Fascination for historians And collectors because, After creating a thriving Southwest culture, they They simply disappeared in In less than a generation.
There's a legend that says The anasazi became extinct Because of a curse placed Upon them by the great cre Okay, okay.
Time out.
I'm sure mr.
Freeze-dried Is a big deal and all, But I could give a damn.
I could give a damn If he's jimmy freakin' hoffa.
I say, let's load up the snowmobiles And haul butt before we all End up down here for a Few hundreds years.
Agreed? Look.
She'd never make the trip.
We're not going to survive if we stay.
We gotta take our chances.
What is your rush? I mean, you fixed that furnace so good, In a couple of hours It'll be downright cozy in here.
Yeah.
It's already on the way up.
Look, we have to stick together here, Do what we can for her.
And try and figure out what happened here, So that we can survive Until the weather clears.
Come on, we're going to need something to eat.
[moaning.]
[coughing.]
[screaming.]
(syd:)it's all right.
It's all right.
Take it easy.
Lay back.
Eleanor.
Look at this mess.
Maybe this stuff hasn't gone bad.

That's when dr.
Garrison called us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
And And, um, you know what We did what you said, Put it in cold storage.
Keeping things frozen isn't exactly A problem up here, you know.

Where do you think you're going? My temperature's stabilised, My circulation's coming back.

If the tables were turned, You wouldn't let me out of bed.
No, probably not.
But the tables aren't turned, Are they? You're the doctor.
You know what? Look, okay? Something made everyone go crazy here And I want to know why I survived And everybody died, okay? I want to know why.
I want to know what they did That I didn't do.
It wasn't something that they ate.
Watch your head.
You okay? Yeah.
There's just got to be Some other explanation, okay? Simpson, come on, we have to meet Professor fox at security.
Simpson.
Simpson.
(harley:) drop it.
Harley.
I said drop it.
So it was you on the sat phone.
Tell me what you know.
Huh? We know you're going to sell Something to your friends offshore.
Well, it's too late for the fbi Or whatever the hell you are to stop it.
All right.
You're going to kill me like the others? I'd be doing you a favour.
You feel that temperature rising? Yeah.
Trust me.
You don't want to be here when it does.
[gun shot.]
(syd:)knowles? Knowles? Block of ice.
The mummy? Why is he thawing it out? [.]
Knowles.
Knowles, where are you? Oh, there you are.
I just saw your audition tape, harley.
That was your last mistake.
You never should've come here, lady.
And now, these are the, Uh, the last samples Of blood from my colleagues.
You can take a look.
And it matches the others.
What you're looking at are healthy cells That have been devoured by prions, Or virus-causing proteins.
A virus? Yeah.
I mean, it looks that way.
They're blood cells that have been Rapidly mutated by super-dominant proteins.
Can you identify the disease? Well, no, you know, I've never seen anything like it.
But, whatever it was, I mean, it took over fast.
It caused rapid neural degeneration.
So, basically, You're saying they went mad? Well, I mean, there's There's medical evidence to suggest That a virus could trigger Mental aberration and schizophrenia.
[.]
Hey, look, this is my blood.
Take a look.
(nigel:)but Wait a minute.
But, you're alive.
I have a natural immunity, I guess.
I have this rare antibody That none of the others had.
Oh, my god.
If the legends are correct And the anasazi became extinct, Due to are a natural disaster.
Like a virus.
Like a virus.
[.]
(nigel:)at what temperature do any Potential viruses become released? Well, anything above freezing.
I mean Everyone that's not Infected down here is going to become infected.
Um, then we have to get him outside.
Outside? This entire facility is Is infected.
There's biological matter everywhere.
Then we have to go topside.
And go where? Where are we going to go? It's 50 below out there.
The mercury's dropping.
If you go out in that snowmobile And it breaks down, You're not going to last two minutes.
Then we have to turn off the heat.
[.]
Come on.
Harley! Close.
Close.
Close.
Nigel.
Nigel, it's sydney.
Can anybody hear me? Hello! [.]
Warm thoughts.
Humid jungle.
Hot, sandy beaches.
Simpson? Knowles? Guys? Kill switch, where's the kill switch? Good work, nigel.
Nigel, gotta tell you, I never thought I'd be happy To be cold again, but Let me tell you something Eleanor.
Ron? You're alive.
Yeah, what are you doing here? I thought I was the only one.
Where are the others? It's just us.
It's just us.
Eleanor, you don't know how happy I am to see you alive.
Syd? Sydney? Sydney, where are you? [wind howling.]
One of these has got to work.
Nothing?! Thank god.
Sydney.
Nigel.
Oh, thank goodness.
Are you all right? Simpson and knowles are dead.
It's harley.
He just tried to turn Me into a popsicle.
Where's eleanor? She's back in the lab.
She thinks this whole place has been Infected by some kind of virus.
We shut off the heat So it wouldn't become active.
Well, I did see harley trying To thaw out the iceman.
This sounds crazy, But do you think that the virus Could've originated in the mummy? Harley was wearing a biohazard suit.
You're saying he infected The facility on purpose? I don't know, syd.
I mean, espionage, biohazards, Killer viruses.
None of this was mentioned In any relic hunter manual I read.
Time to write a new chapter.
(eleanor:)you know what? You don't understand The virus is in the mummy, okay? I know it's going to kill anyone That comes into contact with it.
Believe me, I've seen it.
What, you just stood by while it happened? It was a tough moral choice.
Your friends What was that? Just a test? I had to make sure The product wasn't faulty.
So why don't you just kill me, then? Well, you survived.
Your natural immunity makes you A very lucrative element And the money makes it easier.
So you sell the virus And then you sell the antidote: Me? (harley:)you've got it, honey.
Wait.
You looking for me? Or me? [.]
Think warm thoughts.
He made me cold.
I'm from hawaii.
You know I hate the cold.
Welcome back.
Nigel, it's I'm just can't seem to thaw out.
Where's the anasazi? On his way to atlanta.
Center for disease control.
Poor guy spent Buried in the ice And now he's locked in a freezer.
Well, what we learned from the mummy May help explain that a virus And not a curse Caused the anasazi to vanish.
I guess we helped him complete His mission after all.
In a way.
And, one day soon, With eleanor's help, We may even have a vaccine, In case the virus resurfaces.
What happens to her until then? Well, until then she has her Very own hermetically - sealed Research facility.
Here's a thought: The next time Someone discovers a mummy Or a frozen corpse Or a perfectly preserved squirrel From the 12 century, We leave it right where it is.
Nigel, you know most relics Are completely harmless.
Oh, speaking of relics, This came in for you this morning.
Oh, that must be the talisman That you ordered from the museum in zambia.
Umm You open it? Hands are still numb.
Nigel! Subtitle by: Kiasuseven
