Relic Hunter (PAL)
210 Lost Contact

Some bloody notion you had to
go breaking off from the platoon

Shut up and keep working.

We've got to go back

And tell the captain
about poor willoughby.

We tell him what really
happened,

You think anyone in their
right minds would believe us?

They'd think we were daft
and toss us in the asylum.

No one can ever know
the truth,

Not the captain, the
platoon, your missus, nobody.

You got me?

Swear it.

I swear. I swear.

I won't tell a soul.

Soon as he's buried,

I'm putting that bloody
thing

Back in the cave where it
belongs.

(banging)

(guard:) hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, you!
Yeah, you!

You can't park
here.

(phone ringing)

Ancient studies.

(dean wormer:)I'm looking
for professor fox.

Dean wormer. No, I'm
sorry, she's not here.

I know. Go and call
her out of class.

Call her out of class?

Sydney really hates to be
interrupted so I can't just...

I need to speak with her right
now. You go and interrupt her.

Interrupt her?

Yes, sir, I... I
absolutely will.

You know, you... You can
always count on me, sir.

Good.

And might I say what
a pleasure it is to...

(dial tone)

(agnes:) student services.

Agnes, hi, it's claudia
from sydney fox's office.

Yeah, I was just
wondering,

Could you do me the
tiniest little favour?

Sure, claudia. What is
it this time?

(nigel:) what could
be so important

That the dean would
call you out of class?

I have no idea.

I just got a message to
come to the conference room.

We'll find out
soon enough.

Think it could be anything to
do with us being away so much?

Nigel, relax.

(sydney:) what is this?

(rod:) a playback system for
satellite transmissions.

Hello, sydney.

You're the one that call me out of class?

I knew you'd never come
to my office,

So I brought my office to you.

Where's the dean?

The dean's not coming, nigel.

Nigel bailey, my teaching
assistant, rod thorson.

Rod thorson,
entrepreneur,

Thorson group,
international heir?

Among other things.

Your boss disappointed me,
nigel.

I asked her to lead an
expedition

That I sponsored to myanmar.
She turned me down.

Only because I despise you.

(rod:) perhaps you
forget the considerable

Contributions that I
make to this university.

That won't give you carte
blanche to my services.

Regardless of your opinions of
me,

The myanmar expedition
proceeded, without you.

And the day before yesterday,

They uncovered a remarkable relic,

A prehistoric bowl which could possibly be

The world's oldest religious artifact.

I guess I made a
bad choice.

No, sydney, a fateful one.

Because a few hours after the
crew reported their discovery,

We received this transmission by satellite.

Go ahead, kyle.

Something's gone wrong. I don't
know what happened.

I heard screaming outside the
tent.

That's joan wyatt.

He was attacked. I didn't see
what happened,

But he's... He's dead.

Rudy's on the scene, all the
moladi porters have gone.

I'm so scared.

(footsteps)

No! No! No! No!

(sydney:) the terror
on joan's face.

Could it have been
a wild animal?

Maybe. Maybe rebel
soldiers.

They have been fighting

With the myanmar government
for some time.

(rod:) well, the
fighting's way up north.

Perhaps the moladi porters
turned against them.

The moladi are a
peaceful people.

That would be completely
out of their nature.

Well, whatever happened,

(rod:) it's a terrible
tragedy.

After you turned
me down,

I hired joan wyatt
on your recommendation.

Joan wyatt is a
highly-skilled professional

Both in the lab
and in the field.

Agreed. So help me find
out what happened.

Was there anything prior
to the attack

Indicating they were
in danger?

Just the opposite.

Play the previous day's
transmission, kyle.

Mr. Thorson, it's day
7 just after 5:00 p.M.

And I think you're going to be
very happy.

We hit the jackpot.

We found the most incredible
relic, absolutely amazing.

We discovered it in this cave
about an hour ago.

I've never seen anything like
it.

The inside's a prehistoric place
of worship.

We found...

Oh, here come vic and rudy with
the relic.

Okay, come on, take it easy.

... My hand.

Come on, let me hold it.

Let's go, it's a scratch, it's a
scratch.

From the look of the cave
paintings,

I'd say we're talking about the
species homo heidelbergensis

And the bowl was used in a
sacrificial ritual.

I'd like to spend a few more
days here

So I c ? do a thorough field
analysis

Before we head home,

To document the cave and
catalogue

Some skeletal remains we found.

Oh, yeah, we rock.

Oh, mr. Thorson, if you speak to
sydney fox,

Thank her for turning down this
expedition.

Her loss has been our gain.

And I just want all
of you to know

That I proposed to joan last
night. She didn't say yes.

We'll... We'll check
in tomorrow. Bye.

(rod:) it's not
good, sydney.

Vic is dead,

Rudy's missing, and who
knows what's happened to joan?

Have you reported this to
the myanmar government?

No, they'd just wrap it
in miles of red tape.

It would take days
for them to act

And then they'd only send out
some half-assed search party.

I need someone in that
jungle

Searching for joan
and rudy now.

Someone who knows what
they're doing.

A relic hunter, who can find
what you're really looking for?

You've got me wrong
once again.

Sydney, I need you.

Have her clear our schedules.
We're going to myanmar.

Thank you.

I'm doing this for joan.

(claudia:)ancient
studies.

(nigel:) claudia...

It's kyle, right?

That's right.

(sydney:) can you enhance
the image on this video?

I need a closer look
at what happened.

That's possible, but I'm
going to have to restructure

The entire digital code.

I mean, there's some imaging
software that might help,

If I can get my hands on it.

Go with it.

I was just wondering
about...

Thorson, I'm going to need
a plane from your fleet

To drop nigel and the mya.

We'll parachute in.

Parachute?

The crew drove in
by jeep.

On dirt back roads,
it'd take too long.

Okay, you've got
the plane,

But I want some of
my people to go along.

Whatever happened to that
crew is my responsibility.

You're worried about the
crew or the relic?

You sell me short,
sydney.

I'm not the one
selling here.

Okay, thorson, I'll
take your personnel,

But just one. You.

Whoa, you know me,
sydney.

I employ others to do
that kind of thing.

Not this time. This time,
you get your hands dirty

And you clean up
your own mess.

And on my terms.
I call the shots.

I'll go pack.

Syd', this is a
no-can-do.

First of all, finals
are next week. Secondly...

Claudia, I trust that
you'll figure something out.

But...

(kyle:) miss fox,
we're in luck.

I located a program that
I think will do the trick.

It's being messengered
over.

Great. Kyle, this is my
assistant, claudia.

Whatever you need, she's
at your disposal.

Parachute?

Have fun in... Wherever you're going.

(pilot:)prepare
to drop.

We're heading
home.

You okay?

Yeah, I just hate
jumping out of planes.

It's so unnatural.

You know, he's not
such a bad chap.

Yeah, right.

Well, why did you turn down
his original assignment?

Thorson doesn't care anything
about a relic's historical value.

He's only inte
what it can get for him.

He sells them?

Not exactly.

Okay, 3 years ago, I find the
golden eye of yaounde for him,

Supposedly to hand over to
the nagos tribe of west africa.

Well, a week after I
hand it over to thorson,

The jewel is lost in
transit.

Months later, I find out

It's in the hands of a
prince, babatundi of cameroon.

You mean he reported it
lost and then sold it?

Thorson's too slick for
that.

I did some research.

Coincidentally, just a few days
after the golden eye went missing,

Thorson was granted
exclusive landing rights

For his fledgling airline in
the prince's territories.

I wasn't about to risk
my life a second time

So he could build
an empire.

(rod:) ready?

Yeah.

Well, it looks like the
plane got us pretty close.

Let's go.

Blood. Lots of it.

Blood, but no bodies.

Keys in the ignition.

Look at this:
Tracks

Looks like an
animal.

I'm not taking any chances.

Joan's research. Or
what's left of it.

Bowl's gone.

I thought we were here
to find joan and rudy.

Right.

It'll be dark soon. We
should be setting up camp.

Nigel, why don't you

Go through joan's notes,
see what they turn up.

First thing in the morning,
we look for the cave

Where the relic
was found.

If there are any survivors,
they may be hiding there.

(claudia:) so, kyle, you're
really into computers.

They're my life.

Anything else in
your life,

Like, I don't know, some
special woman or something?

When you work for
rod thorson 24/7,

There's not much
time for dating.

So no dating, no
special woman.

No time to find one.

What if that woman
found you?

(phone ringing)

Hello?

(sydney:)claudia,
it's syd'.

Syd', hey, what's
happening?

How's the video coming?

(claudia:)progress
is slow,

On all fronts.

I'm up in the
conference room.

I had the calls
transferred up here.

Why does that not
surprise me?

Just stay on top
of kyle, okay?

Believe me, I'm trying.

How are things
going there?

Did you find anyone?

No. I'll talk
to you later.

They're still working
on the video.

Do you know what
you're doing?

I started my first charter
with a 50 year old dc-3.

Couldn't afford a mechanic so
I got pretty handy with tools.

If I get this
generator working,

The bright lights should
keep away any wild animals.

Or attract them.

Syd', I think I
found something.

I managed to piece together most of the
topographical map joan was marking up.

She didn't pinpoint
the location of the cave,

But she did circle
the moladi village.

That was the expedition's
starting-off point,

Where they hired
the porters.

Yeah, it's about
southeast...

(twig snap)

What was that,
a tiger?

No, it's not
a tiger.

(sydney:) stop!

Wait!

Joan?

(nigel:) she hasn't touched
any of her food and water.

Pulse is 110.

That's fast.

Breathing's rapid.

Pupil constriction's
slow.

Is she all right?

Well, whatever she saw has
put her into a state of shock.

Joan? Joan,

It's sydney.

Can you hear me? Do
you remember anything?

She looks like she
hasn't had any sleep.

Maybe if she slept...

We can't do anything
until morning, anyway.

We have to look for rudy.

No, we have to get
joan to safety first.

The moladi village.

It's not that far.

(nigel:) so where
is everybody? Hello?

(sydney:) packs.

Well, the porters
are definitely here.

So where are they?

It looks like the entire
village just picked up and left.

(nigel:) but why?

The moladi have lived
here for centuries.

I'm going to call in.

What's the matter?

The specs in the manual are
screwed up. Or I am.

Anything I can help
with?

Bet you don't stop to
ask for directions either.

What?

Directions, when you're lost.
I bet you never stop to ask.

It's a very male thing.

I never get lost. You think I
don't know what I'm doing?

Apparently.

The scrambled image, it's
digital video,

Not just ordinary consumer
video.

It's encrypted, for security
reasons.

All thorson transmissions are to
protect sensitive data.

Now, my computer software
translates each frame

Of the scrambled digital video
that I'm trying to fix

Into binary form,

Streams of ones and zeroes across a hundred
- megahertz bus,

Repeating the process until the
image we need to see more clearly

Is translated into
binary code.

It takes the binary
code,

Reprocesses it as digital
information,

And then re-renders it into a
coherent image.

With you so far.

(kyle:)however, at
this moment,

The computer's translating the
video into binary code

Without discriminating it from
the encryption code.

And if I can't figure
out a way to...

To make it discriminate
between the two,

The resulting image will be
like a salvador dali on acid.

Worse than it is now?

Way.

Whenever sydney's working
on a tough problem,

She talks about something
called oca roca or...

Occam's razor. Yeah, it's
a principle of logic.

Yeah, when a problem can
only be solved

Using an impossibly simple
solution,

It follows that the
impossibly simple solution

Will solve the problem.

I never heard it put
that way before.

Work with me, kyle.

You're saying I should
try applying a code filter

Over the encrypted
signal to mask it,

Rather than trying to
delete the encrypted code.

Why would I say
anything else?

See how easy it is
when you ask?

A filter may just work.

(phone ringing)

Conference room. Yeah.

It's mr. Thorson
for you.

Hello?

(rod:) kyle, just listen.
I don't want the girl

To get wind of what
I'm about to tell you.

I don't think it was
a rival relic hunter

Who attacked the
expedition.

Something much stranger.
Call special projects.

I want you to talk to mulwray
and only mulwray, understand?

Yes, sir.

Bring him up to date.

Tell him I want an extraction
unit mobilized, asap.

(kyle:) yes, sir, I understand
completely. Right away.

(claudia:) everything okay?

Yeah. I've got to take
care of something.

(sydney:) my guess is the
porters told the villagers

About whatever killed
vic and they fled.

But why leave a place that
they've inhabited for generations?

The moladis are superstitious
in some ways, yes,

But they have
their fears...

(gun shot)

Found something.

Joan, stay here.
It'll be safer.

(gun shot)

(gun shot)

(screaming in pain)

Syd', the barrel's
bent.

What could've done
this?

I found more tracks
leading off into the woods.

No sign of thorson.

These tracks look like the
ones we found by the campsite.

They're not tiger prints or
any big cat for that matter.

More like gorilla.

Yeah, but gorillas aren't
indigenous to this part of asia.

I know.

Although -- and this isn't
my area of expertise --

But these tracks are more
like a human footprint.

5 toes, lack of uniformity in the shape,

Evidence of an
upright stride.

But they're not human.

Well, if they're not tiger,
gorilla, or human, what are they?

That's it. No more tracks. The
trail ends here.

Well, maybe he climbed
into the trees?

Carrying thorson?

Maybe chasing after
whatever it is isn't suea.

Yeah. Let's get back
to joan.

How long have you worked
for rod thorson?

3 years. Hired me right
out of mit.

He must trust you
a great deal

In leaving you in
charge of all this.

He keeps his team
lean and mean.

Each of us handles a
variety of responsibilities.

Like that guy you called?
Mulwray, that was his name, right?

What position does he
play, on the team?

Why did thorson ask him
to go to myanmar?

Were you eavesdropping
on our conversation?

That would be rude.

Yes, it would.

Reprogramming's finished.

I'll call syd',
update her.

Not yet.

There won't be anything to
tell her for awhile.

Re-digitized and restructured
all the visual information

So now we wait.

Joan.

Check the huts.

Right.

(nigel:)joan.

Joan.

(sydney:) joan?

There's no sign of
any trouble.

Maybe she just headed
back to the campsite.

In her condition?

Well, she knows the way. Let's
just hope that's what she did.

I don't even want to
consider the alternatives.

(sydney:) there she is.

Joan.

Get the first aid kit.

Joan, are you okay?
What happened?

Rudy, something happened
to rudy.

(joan:) yes and vic.

Now, rudy's missing.

Do you know
where he is?

That's the bowl we saw in the
video.

Yes, that's the cave.

That's good, joan,
that's good.

Something happened
to rudy.

Yes, I know you
were close.

We'll find him.
We'll find him.

No. I can't...

Something, but I can't...

I can't remember what...

It's okay. Just
go slow.

Something must have
triggered her memory.

That rock formation,

If we can locate that on the
map, we'll find the cave.

Now, joan, do you remember
where this photo was taken?

Near the camp.

That would make sense if they'd
set up camp near the cave.

Here's the map. Here's
the camp. Right here.

Let me enter the
coordinates in the gps

And let's get
out of here.

Okay. You're doing
good. You'll be fine.

It's this way. It's
too dense for the jeep.

We'll have to
go on foot.

All right, let's go.

This is the location. They
should be right around here.

This looks like a
rough path.

Foil wrapper from
a film roll.

There it is.

Are you okay?

(joan:) rudy?

Joan, are these the paintings you
mentioned in your video report?

Homo heidelbergensis.

Didn't they precede
the neanderthals?

Aren't they man's
most savage ancestor?

The film wrapper.

Rudy was going to come back
and finish cataloguing them.

(joan:) rudy?

(sydney:) rudy?

(nigel:) some kind of
ceremonial culture for the dead.

(joan:) these were the first
intact burials I ever discovered.

(sydney:) rudy?

Anybody here?

(sydney:) rod thorson
and vic dennis.

Why is it placed in the same
pattern as the other skeletons?

This is some kind
of sick joke.

I've never seen an animal
drag its prey into a cave

And lay it out
like this.

Sydney.

This was rudy's.

Nigel, why don't you go
ahead in case we find...

Right.

(nigel:) syd'.

Joan, it's all right.

The bowl's at the
campsite.

Someone, or something
put it back.

Do you remember what
happened now?

No.

It's obvious this
room was used

For some form of
ritual sacrifice

In honour of a deity
of some kind.

Now, it's likely that the blood
from the ritual sacrifices

Was emptied into the bone bowl

And offered up to a... God.

(nigel:) sydney,

Despite the tragic
circumstances,

Joan has discovered something
incredible.

Prehistoric species worshipped
the elements:

Fire, earth, water.

This is man's first sign of an
externalized deity.

That was thousands
of years ago.

Vic and thorson were killed
within the past few days.

It's crazy, but
could someone

Still be using this
place for that purpose?

I'm going to check the
bowl for fresh blood.

Stop!

Don't touch it.

(nigel:) what is that?

You remember what happened
to the others, don't you?

Yes.

Binary code tracked
perfectly.

That's it, it's done.

Oh, my god.

(claudia:)you getting
an answer?

No.

What do you think that
is on the monitor?

You tell me. Mr. Thorson
said

Something about a bigger
problem.

So you lied to me.

No, I just didn't tell you
more than you needed to know.

Trust a man to make that
distinction.

Well, what's that supposed
to mean?

I can't get through.

Yeah, me either.

They're probably out
of signal range

Or the satellite's
orbit is skewed.

How long until it
gets unskewed?

(joan:) we discovered the cave
a week after setting out

From the moladi village.

Made camp close by, found the
relic right away

And removed it for closer study.

That's when I discovered

The ancient spores present in
the bowl.

Did you do a work-up
on them?

No, I... I was going to after
we finished doing the field work.

That's why you didn't mention
it when you reported to thorson.

Yes. And because it seemed
insignificant at the time,

I didn't report that rudy had
cut his hand on the bowl

After we found it and refused to
let me bandage it.

Said it'd heal faster in the
air.

The cut became infected and
his entire hand became inflamed.

So a blood-borne infection
of some kind.

The spores were obviously the
source

Of some fungal or parasitic
infection.

Maybe hundreds or thousands of
years old.

Joan, can you remember what
happened the night you were attacked?

Come on, joan, you've
got to try.

It was rudy.

(sydney:) what?

Rudy, but not rudy.

Joan, you're not
making any sense.

I know. It was dark. I
was in the tent by myself.

I heard vic scream and when I
got out of the tent,

Rudy was destroying everything
and the porters had run off.

Wait a minute, you're
saying it was rudy?

Yes, but it...

He was different. I
couldn't see him,

But it... It was like
he'd gone mad.

Mad?

Like a wild animal.

You think the infection could
be the cause of the madness?

Rudy was the only one
that touched the bowl.

(joan:)I don't have the proper
equipment to isolate the source.

This really should be
at the cdc.

I'd like to know what
we're up against.

The blood layer that
collected in the bowl

Is definitely the growth
medium for the spores.

There's fresh blood, too.

Whatever parasite is in there is
still alive.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

Do you have any idea how long
I've been trying to reach you?

(sydney:)yeah, we've been
in a cave. Is kyle there?

Yeah.

Box me.

Kyle, thorson's dead.

(kyle:)what?

We found joan, she's alive,
and rudy's still missing.

But we don't know what
we're dealing with.

Whatever killed vic dennis
is still here

And we think it
killed thorson.

We think we know
what it is.

Is your sat' link
hooked up?

(sydney:)yeah.

Take a look at
your monitor.

We resolved the
blurred image

From the last video
transmission.

(kyle:)it's coming over now.

And so you know, help's
already on the way.

Rudy.

With a large brow and jawline.

Those are still his eyes.

How could an infection have
done that to him?

We'll get back
to you.

Stay by the phone and
tell that help to hurry.

Homo heidelbergensis,

With this bowl strained
the blood of enemies.

When rudy held the bowl,

Some of the spores must have
penetrated the wound on his hand,

Infecting his bloodstream.

Making him somehow revert
backwards

Along the evolutionary spectrum.

Sunlight.

Sunlight?

When the bowl's brought out of
the cave,

The exposure to sunlight
triggered

An accelerated chemical
reaction.

That could explain the
incredibly rapid transformation.

Rudy's devolved into homo
heidelbergensis.

One of man's most savage ancestors.

Nigel, I say it's time we
packed up and got out of here.

(nigel:) sydney!

You okay?

I think so.

He's taken joan to his cave.

Rudy?

Oh, my god, rudy.

(joan:) no, it's all right.

Rudy!

(wheezing)

He was badly hurt
in the crash.

Maybe the changes to his body were
more than his system could bear.

(helicopter)

Here comes the
cavalry.

What are we going to
tell thorson's people?

The truth.

That no relic could ever be
worth the price these people paid.

(sydney:)... Through,
update these references,

Track the changes all
the way through this time

And proof the spelling.

No problem, syd'.

(joan:) sydney?

Joan, what a nice
surprise.

I was hoping I'd catch you in.
I just left the dean's office.

Really?

Uh-huh, signing off
on some paperwork.

Rod thorson left a major
research grant to the university

And I've been asked to
administer it.

Wow, that's great.

Really great.

Are you excited?

I turned it down.

Oh.

There are more important things
that I need to take care of.

And besides, I was never
a desk jockey.

(joan:) I love my
field work.

Where are you heading?

Myanmar.

You're going back?

Crazy, right?

Well...

(joan:)I owe it to rudy to
finish what we started there.

Good luck.

Thanks.

(joan:) nigel, you're a whiz
with biocultural crossover.

If you feel like another trip
into the jungle, look me up.

Thanks, but I think I'm going
to be kept pretty busy here.

(joan:) count on it.

Joan, you wouldn't
happen to know

Who the dean's naming
in your place

To administer that grant,
would you?

Well, I told him that
you'd be perfect. Bye.

Joan! That low...

What is this?

Your first application.
Mine.

Grant to research the
sceptre of clairveaux.

Well, the sceptre's
a myth.

Even if you got
the grant,

There's no indications
that it ever existed.

Or if it did, if
it was in France,

I mean, it would take...

Months, even years.

In a beautiful chateau,
just outside paris. And

Just because
we're related,

Don't think I expect
any special treatment.

You knew joan turned
it down.

Agnes in the dean's office
has a huge mouth.

Half the campus already
knows.

Half the campus knows we've
got grant money to dish out?

Nigel, lock the door.
