( Control Voice ) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUS 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 EXCELLEN 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 SUGGES 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 EQUIPMEN 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 EQUIPMEN 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 THA 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 GE 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 ARGUMEN 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 WEN FROM SOLID TO LIQUID TO WHO-KNOWS-WHA 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 AGEN 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, THA 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 GE SOME REST, DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE? NO, YOU BETTER GO BACK THERE BEFORE EMME 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 COMPETEN 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 GOVERNMEN 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 ABOU THE LAST TIME YOU CARED ABOUT ME? THAT IS SO UNFAIR, WHY NOT? IT'S TRUE, YOU'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING CREDI 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 OU WHY YOU'RE MAD, THAT SACK OF BONES IS A THOUSAND TIMES MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN IT IS TO ME, BUT IT MADE CONTAC 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 I 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 EXIS 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 OU HOW THAT SHELL WORKS AS A DNA STORAGE BAY YOU CAN FIGURE OU 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 THA 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 LIMI 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 THA 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 FORGE 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 ABOU 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 I 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 GO 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 JUS 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 WHA YOU ALWAYS WANTED, ISN'T IT? TIE ME UP? THERE ARE WORSE FORMS OF COUPLES THERAPY, HAVING TO TALK, FOR INSTANCE, DEAN, ,,DEAN!

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 CRYP AND THE ENTRY SHAF 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!

LAY OFF UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO I BY YOURSELF, I WILL IF I HAVE TO, OKAY, I GOT IT, OH, GOD, LET'S GE OUT OF HERE, NOT WITHOUT THE ALIEN, NO, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS, THAT'S NOT WHAT I FEL 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 THOUGH HE WAS A GOD, THEY BUILT THIS TOMB TO HONOR HIM, ARE YOU SURE OF IT? THAT'S NO 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 EMME 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?

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 IMPORTAN FOR THE PLANET, NO, THIS IS FAR TOO IMPORTAN FOR A PAIR OF FAILED ARCHEOLOGISTS LIKE YOU, I'M SORRY, ( roaring ) HELP ME, DAMN IT!

IT'S BEEN NEARLY 1,000 YEARS, WHAT? NATALIE, ,, WHERE'S NATALIE? HER WOUNDS WERE QUITE SEVERE, SO WE REVIVED HER FIRS 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
