Revealing our true origins and ultimate destiny in a story of love, geopolitical intrigue, climaxing at the United Nations, signifying the rebirth of the human race. FADE IN: ROLL CREDITS Opening music under credits: Pink Floyd "Pigs on the Wing, Part 1" P.O.V. WASHINGTON, D.C. AERIAL - HELICOPTER FOLLOWING A MILITARY HELICOPTER IN FLY OVER OF THE MALL FROM BEFORE LINCOLN MEMORIAL, TURNING TO FULL SHOT OF SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM -- MORNING FULL SHOT FRONT OF MUSEUM STEPS ZOOM INTO CLOSE UP LINDA P.O.V. LINDA As DR. LINDA STEVENS arrives at the steps of the museum, she turns to watch the helicopter landing on the front grounds and a single military officer disembark. He quickly approaches her position. ANGLE ON DAVE Holding a small, 10" long, silver box and a clipboard, CAPTAIN DAVID RENNOLDS stops, startled at Linda's beauty, before quickly collecting himself and saluting. DAVE (holding out his hand palm up) Dr. Stevens? May I see your identification, please? ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA Startled partly by the boldness, but mostly by his rugged features, Linda hesitates before looking at his ID first and catches the look in his eyes of long years and longer miles traveled. ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (with a smile she quickly pulls at the long chain around her neck and produces, out of the top of her low-cut sweater, her museum sensor- filled identification badge) Yes Sir, you sure know how to make an entrance, Captain Rennolds, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (holding out the card and giving him a good view of her breasts) This should tell you who I am. The museum's security people don't like us to wear it out in the open. It's to let the system's computer knows who's in any of the restricted areas. (pausing only a moment long enough to get his eye) And please call me Linda. ANGLE ON DAVE Dave only glances at the card, trying unsuccessfully not to show his interest in her open flirtations. Quickly he turns to wave at the still waiting helicopter, which swiftly lifts off and seconds later they are alone on the steps. DAVE (quickly turning back, while removing his cap, and ends up staring into her eyes again) I am sorry for all the formalities, can we go to your office and talk? (holding out his hand to her) And Linda, please call me Dave (quickly adding) ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (quickly slipping her ID back in place, smiling she reaches for his hand) Nice to meet you, Dave. ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA TO CLOSE UP LINDA (CONT'D) (feeling an electricity between them the moment their fingers touch) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. LINDA (CONT'D) I'd love to talk but not before we get you a badge, my office is in a restricted area. (their eyes lock for a moment, nothing is said, but much implied) ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (pulling a badge part way out of his pocket and smiling) It's already been arranged, I know where your office is, Linda, (motioning with his hand for her to lead the way) ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA FOLLOWING Linda and Dave start talking as they walk up the steps and into the museum. DAVE (CONT'D) (trying to sound grave, but spellbound by her beauty) You may be the only person that can help me figure out my riddle, please lead the way, Doctor. LINDA (still smiling and aware of her spell) Yes, of course. (grabbing his arm and walking quickly on her long legs) Now you have me intrigued, why me? And why now? CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (startled by his sudden capture, he tries to regain composure, pausing to look around as though he is being watched, then turning back) If we could go inside, I can explain. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ANGLE ON LINDA AND DAVE FOLLOWING LINDA (mischievously smiling) You talked to Dr. Forester, didn't you? And he couldn't translate that scroll you've got in that box, am I right? DAVE (smiling back) Your professor warned me about your curious mind, trying to figure out the puzzle before you even get the problem to begin with, don't you? Linda and Dave pass through a security barrier. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (smugly) Dear Dr. Forester, he's the world's renowned expert on ancient languages and it would only be my professor who would recommend me, for anything, let alone know where to find me. (holding up one finger) That's number one. (holding up two fingers) Secondly, you're clutching that box, as though your life depended on it. I recognize it from drawings and it's a scroll box. (holding both hands, palm up) Conclusion, that is the scroll my professor couldn't read, so you've coming to me for help. (clapping her hands with glee) CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (laughing) I feel at a slight disadvantage, Linda, you already know everything I'm going to say! Can you tell me what's on the scroll. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. LINDA (smiling sheepishly) My office is right here, but I must warn you, it's a bit disordered, according to most people's standards! DISSOLVE TO: INT. LINDA'S OFFICE, EVERY SPACE IS TECHNOLOGY, COVERED WITH BOOKS AND PAPERS -- CONTINUOUS ANGLE ON LINDA ENTERING OFFICE LINDA Let me find you a chair! (moving a large pile of books on top another pile of books) ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) Cleaning days are Thursdays. (sheepishly) Linda clears away piles of books only to be replaced by other piles of books, weaving her way through the office desk. Dave stands, mesmerized by the scene, watching Linda's progress. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (CONT'D) (laughing) Everything does have a place. (turning to look back at Dave who is looking a little surprised) ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (trying to sound serious, a suppressed smile on his lips) Your professor, Dr. Forester, said you had a knack for making clear sense of languages even he didn't understand, but through a thick fog, those were his words. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. P.O.V. LINDA DAVE (CONT'D) (waving arms and laughing) But he said nothing would prepare me for your filing system! Just that I shouldn't let anything you do surprise me, in the least bit! (bowing gracefully) CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (proudly) It may not be the neatest place, but it does keep other people out of my hair, so I can work, undisturbed. (trying not to smile at her own obvious ruse) In the two years since I started, I have had only one person actually brave enough to enter my office, so consider yourself warned, Soldier Boy! (laughing as she finally sits down) Linda turns and watches as Dave slowly walks through the maze and pats the seat of a chair next to her until finally he seats himself in the indicated spot. Dave carefully places the clipboard and box on his lap, hesitantly looking about as Linda starts turning computers and monitors on. ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (turning her head to face him, seriously) I do know where everything is, but getting at everything is not that simple. Everything I really need is usually pretty easy to find. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (CONT'D) (reaching over and curiously poking at the box) So what's in the box ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (trying not to smile at her girlish curiosity) I'm attached to the Army Corp of Engineers and occasionally I am called in when they dig up something they really don't understand. (holding up the box with both hands) This little box is one of them. ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA Dave sits waiting for Linda to clear a place on the desk in front of her. Linda faces him like a little girl waiting for that special present. DAVE (CONT'D) (Dave tentatively holds the box out to her and she quickly grabs it out of his hands) It's a little tricky to open, ..., (starting, then voice fading off) But before Dave can show Linda, or even say anything else, she has grabbed the box and in moments has it opened. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (smiling satisfaction on her face) Not that tricky 7000 years ago, I saw a very old sketch of one of these. Never thought I'd ever actually open one. Where did they dig this up, may I ask? Pulling out a single scroll, Linda carefully unrolls the scroll and starts studying it with a magnifying glass. She scans the entire scroll only once, while Dave watches. DAVE (surprised, hesitates before speaking) At the bottom of a dried lake bed, dating back about 20 thousand years, but that little box goes back a bit farther. The experts tell me more like 25 to 30 thousand years. (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. DAVE (CONT'D) (leaning over her shoulder, pausing to breath in her perfume) And yet it looked just like you see it, like it was made yesterday. How and out of what it was made, we're still not sure and we've had some pretty bright minds working on it for the past two years. Took our group almost 18 months just to get it opened. It wasn't until I finally found that same sketch, too! (laughing lightly) ANGLE ON LINDA TO CLOSE UP Linda raises a smile on her face and silently says the word, yes. DAVE (CONT'D) (voice over) But I'm darn if I can find anyone who can understand any of it! P.O.V. DAVE Linda sits up and places the magnifying glass back in its case. Very seriously she rolls up the scroll most of the way, but stops suddenly smiles just slightly as she looks at one section. LINDA (pointing at the scroll) Well, as clear as I can tell, (pausing, opening the scroll further) It has been twenty-five thousand years, since it was sealed and deliberately buried. (looking at Dave, semi-seriously) It would seem that your little box contains the last remains of the first human on the Planet Earth, and, (pausing, then with a little faked surprise in her voice) This scroll contains the complete instructions on how to bring him back to life! (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. LINDA (CONT'D) (looking back down and talking seriously again, but also trying hard not to smile or laugh) The rests is mainly technical stuff about the actual process of rejuvenative immortality in the human body. ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (startled look) What did you just say? (astonished and can only stare at her for a moment) You can read it. CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (CONT'D) (sitting back, adds jokingly) Let me guess, his name was Adam? P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (blankly staring back at him, a small grin on her face) I don't know how, but sometimes when I look at a script, (playfully pausing for effect) I just get this feeling, like something subconsciously familiar, and then the words just flow, (shaping a box in the air with her hands) And images just fall into place. ANGLE ON LINDA TO CLOSE UP Linda places the scroll back in the box and seals the lid. She takes her magnifying glass and scans the outside of the box only once before turning it over to look at the back of the case. LINDA (CONT'D) (looking up at Dave) Was this all they found? (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. LINDA (CONT'D) (looking back to the box) There should be a vial with it! But before he can reply, Dave watches as Linda slides a thin panel off the bottom, revealing a long glass tube. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (CONT'D) (looking up with a smile on her face) And yes, his name is Adam. ANGLE ON LINDA TO CLOSE UP PANNING BACK TO P.O.V. Linda takes the vial out of the box and holds it up to the light. Dave watches, stunned by this sudden revelation. Linda stares at tube, slowly spinning between her fingertips, as it glistens in the light magically. Linda quickly places it back in the box and seals it again. Then slowly she turns the box over in her hands, mesmerized by it. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (CONT'D) (now seemly reading from the scroll again) What you have here, Dave, is the DNA of one of the first humans on our planet, and the complete instructions on how to regenerate and regain that person's memories and knowledge. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (looking up) Now that I've started the process ...! (giggling slightly) P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (CONT'D) (leaning over Dave to turn on a monitor) The scroll continues on with an even more detailed set of instructions, (pausing to look Dave in the eye) But I think only someone like my sister, Eve, could figure out what it means, (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. LINDA (CONT'D) (almost whispering, but loud enough to be heard) Quickly enough, to save Adam, now. ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (finally catches an understanding and is not surprised) She wouldn't happen to be a geneticist, would she? P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (looking Dave straight in the eyes) Yes, (proudly) And probably the only one of her graduating class that could. (reaching for the phone) ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) I'll give her a call, she should be in her lab, she always is! With her other hand, Linda flips on another computer screen and an image of lab appears, a young attractive woman peering into a microscope. CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (no longer surprised) Eve, I presume, ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (whispering into the receiver as Dave watches Eve picks up the handset next to her keyboard and turns to look at the camera) Pick up the phone, sister, (seriously) Secure call alpha one three one seven. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (looking directly into the camera, quickly replying, serious voice) Beta six four, (anxiously) What's so urgent, Pigpen? CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (embarrassed smile) Hi, Squirt, FULL SHOT LINDA AND DAVE SITTING IN FRONT OF A BANK OF MONITORS LINDA (CONT'D) (Linda now turned to the screen) Got a slice of DNA I need you to sequence for me, his name is Adam. I need a viability test, asap. CLOSE UP EVE ON MONITOR EVE (leans back in her chair, sexy smile, mischievous laugh) Is that the hunk sitting next to you? Always said some politician or military man would get you if you continued to live in that city! (teasing her sister) CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (starts blushing) No Sis, this is Captain David Rennolds, (nervously, hesitating) And we just met, (unsuccessfully tries to cover nervousness with laughing) You remember your Bible. That Adam. And we need you to read the code so we can reanimate him! And it has to be done within the next two hours, or he'll die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (leaning forward again, only half joking now) This is a joke, right, Linda? (stares at the camera) CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (loosing it, astonished beyond surprise) Hold on here ladies, (turning on Linda) What the hell are you talking about Linda? P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (looking into camera, ignoring Dave for the moment) Listen Eve, get the dinner table ready, and tell Mom and Dad I'm bringing a guest to dinner tonight, (finally turning back to Dave) How fast can that bird of yours get us to Boston? ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (startled response, almost reflex) About two and a half hours, but what are you talking about. ANGLE ON EVE EVE (sly smile, winking) Yea, Linda what are you talking about. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (looking at Dave, seriously concerned) Listen, the last line, on both the box and the scroll, contains a warning to keep the knowledge of this scroll and its contents known to as few people as possible. (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. LINDA (CONT'D) (pausing, more forcefully) For fear that the whole world would not share is this wondrous gift, as it was meant to be. (looking back to her sister) If that's what it says, I'm telling you as little as possible and then only when you really need to know, so don't tell anyone, especially Dad, OK Eve? CLOSE UP EVE ON MONITOR EVE (serious) OK, Linda, but what do I tell them when they ask why you're coming home? CLOSE UP LINDA AND EVE P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (smiling) Just tell them I have some news and leave it at that, Eve, (looks at Dave, laughs) Or tell them, I'm pregnant! EVE (laughing too) OK, Pigpen, give me a buzz on 4603 when you get to Mom's. ANGLE ON LINDA Linda stands up, but leans over to remain in camera view. She grabs her bag, a pile of papers from the printer and tosses a few other things in it, including the silver box. LINDA (laughing as she turns to face Dave, she winks) See you for cocktails, Squirt. (patting Dave under the chin) OK Flyboy, call in the cavalry! ANGLE ON DAVE Dave stands quickly completely flustered and confused. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. DAVE (exasperated, frustrated) Hold your horses, Hotshot, the US military is not your personal taxi service so you can have drinks with your family. ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA WIDENING TO FULL SHOT OF LINDA'S OFFICE TO CLOSE UP LINDA Linda turns and leans against her desk, giggling to cover fits of laughter. Holding up one hand she asks him to wait. Finally, able to speak again, she takes a deep breath and turns to Dave. LINDA (still amused by Dave's predicament, waving her arms around her) People are listening to everything we say, CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (winking, again) We always talk in code, silly boy. ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (seriously) Cocktails is our code word for extreme security. She now setting up a level five lab and erasing all traces of anyone every using it. ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (raising an eyebrow, finally resigning) Before using it for what? ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (looking through a pile of folders and pulling out one) If this scroll is what I think it is, we are the only three people who will ever know about this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (skeptically) Well, so far you are they only one who understands the scroll. And when are you going to tell me, Pigpen? (laughing lightly) Cute nickname, appropriate! P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (smoldering fire in her eyes) Pigpen is code for an unsecured line to my side. (playfully sticking out her tongue at him) FULL SHOT LINDA AND DAVE STANDING IN LINDA'S OFFICE Dave pulls a small two way radio from an inside pocket. DAVE (holding up his hands in surrender) Whatever the Lady says! (talking into the two- way radio) Pick up in five minutes, Major. (slipping the radio back in place) CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (raising an eyebrow) Chopper waiting in the wings? CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (devious smile, patting his pocket) We were never alone, Pigpen! ANGLE ON DAVE FOLLOWING Dave starts walking toward the door he came in. DAVE (CONT'D) (pointing up with his finger) But we should discuss it up there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (smiling) I'm ready! (putting the folder and box in her bag) FULL SHOT LINDA AND DAVE STANDING IN LINDA'S OFFICE Linda turns to her left and opens another door, clear and unobstructed. Linda stands in the doorway looking at the bewildered Captain. P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (CONT'D) (giggling, beckoning with her finger,) This way, my silly Flyboy! DISSOLVE TO: Music: David Bowie Diamond Dogs EXT. FRONT OF MUSEUM STEPS -- MORNING -- CONTINUING P.O.V. LINDA FOLLOWING Helicopter is waiting when Linda and Dave exit museum and quickly board it. CUT TO: INT. HELICOPTER QUIET INTERIOR, BUCKET SEATING IN REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FULL SHOT LINDA AND DAVE ENTERING BACK OF HELICOPTER Dave buckles Linda into her seat and then does the same for himself. PILOT, MAJOR TOM "ROCKET" O'LEARY, JR. is sitting in the single forward cockpit seat, only obscured by his seat-back. Full forward view above computer consoles, all the way back to the doors. Large windows on doors. ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (leaning forward to talk to pilot) Medical emergency, Doctor Stevens needs asap to our destination. Can do, Major? PILOT (over the intercom, military manner) Can do, Sir. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19. ANGLE ON LINDA, WINDOW IN BACKGROUND Helicopter lifts off very quickly and bolts into the sky using afterburners. All the occupants are forced back into their seats for a few moments only. LINDA (speaking softly to herself, smiling as she struggles to turn her head and look at Dave beside her) Medical emergency? Yes, it will only take Eve about 10 minutes to prep the lab. (in a normal voice as the acceleration eases off) Major, what is your call sign? FULL SHOT LINDA AND DAVE SITTING IN BACK OF HELICOPTER PILOT (over the intercom) They call me, Rocket, Dr. Stevens, but my name is Major Tom Rocket O'Leary, Jr.! P.O.V. LINDA LOOKING OUT THE FRONT OF THE CABIN PILOT (CONT'D) (leaning back to look at Dave, then smiling at Linda) ETA 46 minutes, Sir. LINDA (leaning forward) Thank you Rocket, please call me Linda, my father is Dr. Stevens. Do you have any family? PILOT (over the intercom) Wife and three teenage daughters, Dr. Stevens. ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (laughing) You poor man! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20. CLOSE UP PILOT PILOT (laughing as he turns his head to look at Linda) It's a burden some of us bear happily! A complete change from my military life, I like change. It suits me, just fine. P.O.V. LINDA LINDA (very serious) Do you know where we're going, and what we are doing, Rocket? (pulling a slip of paper out of a side pocket in her bag and handing it to Pilot, not waiting for a response) Please set our course on your NAV computer to Ap3046, there's a place to park the helicopter when we get there. PILOT (laughing, holding up his hands) Am I being hijacked? CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (sitting back) I don't want to be followed to grandma's place! ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (to Pilot) Execute course change, Major. (turning back to Linda, proudly) This bird is a stealth prototype and can not be seen on any radar or detection systems, including our own. Built with encrypted communication systems and variable frequency modulation, so nobody's listening either. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21. ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA TO CLOSE UP LINDA (turning to face Dave) All good and fine, Sir, but you still leave an electronic signature as well as a heat wake. Least of all some eager beaver actually seeing your precious piece of technology. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (turning her head to pilot) No more calling home, please Rocket. (laughing as she turns back to Dave) So who are you really, Captain? Not just some errand boy I take it? CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (only looking down at his laptop, trying not to smile) Oh, just one of the people running the planet, nobody special, nobody important. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (laughing again) That is usually the lie they tell the fools, Dave, as my Uncle Tom would say. P.O.V. LINDA PILOT (leaning back to look at Linda again) Commander Topcat Stevens was my father's wingman in 'Nam through 843 missions. How is your uncle enjoying his gator hunting. ANGLE ON DAVE AND LINDA LINDA (surprised, but also curious) He's hunting more big snakes these days than gators. But he's still flying. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22. DAVE (looking up at Linda, finally smiling just a little) Rocket and I nearly grew up together. His Dad flew my Dad around the globe, after 'Nam. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (laughing confidently, leaning forward inflection of recognition) You're Icepick's son? CLOSE UP PILOT PILOT (laughing as he looks back at Linda) Pretty good guess, Linda, and in only three questions, I said under five. (turning to Dave, seriously, but with a smile) That's drinks on you tonight, Captain. FULL SHOT LINDA AND DAVE SITTING IN BACK OF HELICOPTER LINDA (joining the laughter) We'll have to get Eve to call Mom and set another plate for dinner. Dad will insist. And my father will be buying drinks tonight. DAVE (trying not to laugh himself) Hold on Rocket, we have business to finish first. LINDA (smiling, curiously) And what business is that, Dave? DAVE (businesslike, looking back down at his laptop) To get you to where we're going. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23. PILOT (over intercom) On final approach, Sir. ANGLE ON LINDA, WINDOW IN BACKGROUND LINDA (surprised, turning to look out window) Now that's what I call service! ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (bowing his head, smiling) Anything for the Lady. CUT TO: EXT. HELICOPTER LANDING ON HELIPAD IN WOODED FARMLAND -- MOMENTS LATER Helicopter lands quickly beside a large hanger and its engines shut down. Large doors on the hanger open and the helicopter enters, turning around as it does. The three figures exit the hanger and the large doors close behind them. A lone woman is standing beside a gray car. FULL SHOT LANDING AREA FOLLOWING THREE FROM HANGER ANGLE ON LINDA AND EVE Linda and Eve embrace and exchange kisses. LINDA (finally releasing Eve) Glad to see you again, Squirt. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (laughing, holding on to Linda's arm, turning to face the two men) Oh, you brought one for me! Thanks Pigpen, well, hop in boys. FULL SHOT LOADING CAR Dave and Eve head for the driver's side as all the doors suddenly open automatically, all at once. Linda quickly slips into the back seat, Eve behind the wheel, leaving the two men standing alone, outside the car. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24. P.O.V. PILOT Pilot stands by the open door, scanning the surroundings, before finally entering car. EVE (CONT'D) (smiling as she slides behind the steering wheel, patting the seat beside her) Don't be afraid, climb in the front, Rocketman! ANGLE ON DAVE DAVE (giving another look around before sliding in behind Eve, but not until he sees Linda get inside) Stealth homing beacon, nice gear Eve. FULL SHOT CAR LEAVING All four doors close at once and the car quickly speeds away. DISSOLVE TO: INT. EVE'S LAB, FILLED WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT -- LATER FULL SHOT LAB FROM P.O.V. DOORWAY Eve enters first, quickly followed by Linda. Dave and Pilot enter, but stop in the doorway to look at all the equipment. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (laughing, holding hands high in the air as she spins around) Welcome to my little shop of horrors! ANGLE ON LINDA AND EVE EVE (CONT'D) (looking at Linda) So whose our victim tonight, Big Sister? LINDA (laughing) I'm so sorry, Little Sister, but it's not one of those, yet! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (CONT'D) (pulling the box and folder out of her bag) Is the replicator up and running, like I asked. P.O.V. DAVE EVE (smiling as looks back at Dave) Everything you asked for last night. P.O.V. LINDA Rocket and Dave look at each other. DAVE (looking at Linda) Hold on one minute, what do you mean, last night? ANGLE ON LINDA Linda opens the box and takes out the scroll, unrolling the scroll completely on a table designed for it. LINDA (looking up at Dave) Dr. Forester called me after your visit and suggested the idea of reanimation, so I had Eve set things up just in case. ANGLE ON EVE Eve is sitting at her microscope, her back to the others. She waves to the men to find a seat and turns to Linda. P.O.V. EVE LINDA (CONT'D) (turning to Eve) From what I could see from my first reading of the scroll, the DNA should be viable, so if you slip it into the microscope it will show up. Linda walks over to Eve at the microscope, turning the box over in her hands, opening the bottom, removing the transparent vial and handing it to Eve. Eve slips the vial into a slot in the front of the microscope and leans over the eyepiece, looking at the sample inside. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26. ANGLE ON EVE EVE (excited, without looking up at Linda) You were the only one to touch the vial, right, Linda? (pausing) How long was it exposed to light? ANGLE ON LINDA AND EVE LINDA (staying at Eve's side) What's up, Eve? Only about ten seconds, as little as possible. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (looking up at Linda) This thing is definitely alive, gang. From what I can tell, it's ready for immediate regeneration. It started as soon as the vial was exposed to the light source by Linda in here lab. ANGLE ON EVE EVE (CONT'D) (pausing as she glances at the computer screen next to her) Since I put the vial into the microscope it has tripled in size and should either dissolve its casing or it will explode within the hour, (peering back into microscope) Or less! (pulling back and flipping on another larger monitor for everyone to see) P.O.V. DAVE Linda goes back to the table with the scroll starts studying a section intensely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27. EVE (CONT'D) (turning to face the others) What you have here folks, is the self-replicating DNA of a single human being. What I would like to do is put it in the replicator, (pausing as she taps numbers on her keyboard) If you can confirm the settings from the original, sister. (looking over at Linda studying the scroll) ANGLE ON LINDA FOLLOWING LINDA (looking up) Just what you thought, Eve. (moving her finger down the scroll) Our friend here is the original human to inhabit our planet and lived a couple of dozen, thousand years before his first regeneration. BACK TO SCENE LINDA (CONT'D) (standing back and turning to face the others, a contented look on her face) This will be his fiftieth. DAVE (a little stunned, looking at Linda) So who are you two really working for? ANGLE ON EVE FOLLOWING Eve pulls the vial from her microscope and walks over a large chamber and opens the door. Entering, she places the vial on a low platform before exiting the chamber and closing the door. As soon as the door closes the chamber is flooded with an intense light, strong enough that it can no longed be looked at. Eve walks back to her computer station and starts entering information on the keyboard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28. EVE (laughing, finally turning to face Dave) We work for the same people as you, Dave, "We the People", anyway it's all academic now. From my rough calculations we should have results in less than thirty minutes, possible much sooner. (pointing at the monitor, very excited) If you look at this sequencing, its going off the scale! ANGLE ON GROWTH CHAMBER The vial, standing on end, has started to emit more intense glow. Inside the chamber the vial has under gone a transformation and has exceeded it container, visibly growing in size. The Pilot walk over to the chamber and peers at the object inside. CLOSE UP PILOT PILOT (pointing at the chamber) I don't think you'll have to wait that long, Eve, look now. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA Well folks, we did it! Nothing can stop it now, it's self-generating. ANGLE ON DAVE FOLLOWING Dave stands up and walks over to stand beside Eve. DAVE (leaning over Eve's shoulder, his voice almost a whisper because of his astonishment) What are you feeding it, Eve? CLOSE UP EVE TO ANGLE ON LAB Without looking up, Eve hand signals to Linda as she reads the dials on her computer screen. Linda moves over to a monitoring station with several video screens and starts entering notes on a touch pad. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29. ANGLE ON EVE EVE (laughing as she looks up at Dave) Nothing more than as much light as it will absorb! (looking back at the screen) We go critical in three, two, one, ..., ANGLE ON LINDA FOLLOWING Linda walks over to the chamber and looks at the dials on a monitor beside the door. LINDA (excited, trying to keep her cool as she looks back to her sister) There's a shape forming, Eve, already 22 kilos. P.O.V. LINDA EVE (snapping out quickly) Absorption rate at max, now at 30 kilos. LINDA (excited) I can see a human shape forming in the chamber, 48 kilos. CLOSE UP FORM IN CHAMBER DAVE (concerned, voice over) Can you contain it, Eve? ANGLE ON LINDA LINDA (confidence) 63 kilos and starting to level off. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (smiling sheepishly looking at Dave) If I knew what I was containing Dave, I might know how to do it. (looking back at monitor) We're now at 67 kilos, absorption falling. CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (looking over at Dave, now seriously) This is a level 5 security lab, Dave, nothing can get out of here. This place would meltdown first, (pausing for effect) With all of us inside. FULL SHOT LAB PILOT (nervously) Oh, that's great, rockets red glare. EVE (smiling confidently as she turns to face the Pilot) Not likely skyboy, I have an over- ride. ANGLE ON CHAMBER TO FULL SHOT OF LAB LINDA (hand signaling Eve) Anyway, absorption rate is now down to 20 percent. 72 kilos, 187 centimeters. EVE (looking over at Dave, pointing to a cabinet) There's a white linen robe in that cabinet next to you Dave. Grab it, please. (looking back at her computer) Rate is now nine percent. Steady at 72 kilos. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31. ANGLE ON DAVE Dave goes and opens the cabinet to find a single robe, takes it out and turns to face Linda. DAVE (hold the robe in front of himself) You have everything prepared, don't you? P.O.V. DAVE LINDA (taking the robe) The next part is going to be your job, getting our guest to his next designation. ANGLE ON PILOT PILOT (bewildered, he sits back down on his stool) If we knew where we were going! FULL SHOT LAB EVE (proudly) He'll be able to tell you soon enough. We have a human lifeform, absorption rate is zero. (hand signaling Linda again) You can open the door now, Linda. ANGLE ON CHAMBER DOOR Linda pulls chamber door open and a male figure walks forward. LINDA (nervously, holding out the robe to the naked figure, momentarily touching his hand) You might be more comfortable in this. CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (gratefully, calmly, always smiling) Thank you, Linda. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32. CLOSE UP DAVE DAVE (astonished) How did he know your name? CLOSE UP LINDA LINDA (nodding, smiling, certain) Knowledge transference, right? FULL SHOT LAB LINDA (CONT'D) (Adam nodding in conformation) The moment I touched his hand I could read his thoughts, I knew his mind in a instant. Eve now standing up, walks forward, hand extend. ANGLE ON EVE AND ADAM TO CLOSE UP The pair stand mesmerized with each other, staring into each others eyes, not speaking for a long moment, until without looking, finally reach out hands at the same time. EVE (excitedly, holding Adam's hand firmly in her own) I'm Eve. ADAM (taking her hand and holding it in both of his, smiling broadens as he gazes into her eyes) Yes, I know, I'm Adam. (holding pose in silence for another long moment) So you are the one who made this possible, thank you. It feels good to be breathing again. EVE (with complete modesty, but in true character) You're welcome, Adam, but it wasn't only me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33. FULL SHOT LAB P.O.V. ADAM ADAM (turning his head to look at the others) Yes, all of you have done your parts very well, thank you. There is still much work to be done yet and I am now asking you to help me further. The two military men simply nod their heads in reflex action, mesmerized by Adam's presence before them, let alone his existence in the first place. Linda and Eve simply smile. P.O.V. LINDA ADAM (CONT'D) (speaking to Linda, but continuing to stare at Eve) I could use some fluids, please Linda, citrus fruit would be best. I need to build my immune system up to the current bacteria levels. EVE (still staring at Adam, hand signaling Linda) There's some orange juice in the fridge behind you, sis. We could all use something to drink, I think, thanks. FULL SHOT LAB Eve and Adam finally break their gaze and pull away from each other. Together they move over to a round table. The two military men instinctively move over to greet Adam. CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (turning to Dave and Rocket, extending his hand) Good day gentlemen, thank you for my security. I know you have a lot of questions, but all will become clear, or at least clearer than it is now, ANGLE ON ADAM ADAM (CONT'D) and very soon, but first I need to build back my strength. (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34. ADAM (CONT'D) (reaching out and shaking both their hands) Please be patient. EVE (motioning to the others) Why don't we all have a seat so we can listen to Adam's message. They all sit down at the table, in comfortable chairs. Eve sits beside Adam, while Dave and Rocket sit down on the opposite side of the table. Linda quickly passes out glasses of juice, leaving the pitcher in front of Adam and then sits down herself. CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (smiling confidently) Thank you all for having the courage to do what you have done. This is only the beginning and I am going to need your help with a few things before I go to meet your governments. (reaching out his hands to the others) Please, join me and grasp the hand of the person beside you. As the first to meet me, in over 25 millennia, I want you to be the first to share in the gift I am bringing to mankind. FULL SHOT LAB Adam closes his eyes and as the circle is completed, a small ball of light begins forming among them, hanging just above the table. The ball of light grows in intensity and soon fills the room before quickly fading out. DISSOLVE TO: EXT. AERIAL SHOT OF WHITE HOUSE FOLLOWING MARINE ONE AS IT APPROACHES AND LANDS FOLLOWING -- EVENING FULL SHOT MARINE ONE DOORS OPENING FOLLOWING A uniformed military officer exits, followed by an Aide. They walk into the side door of the White House. INT. OVAL OFFICE Two men, the VICE-PRESIDENT and LOUIS, are sitting in front of a large desk, behind it sits the PRESIDENT. They are having ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35. an animated discussion when the GENERAL enters. The PRESIDENT'S AIDE stands by the door. ANGLE ON GENERAL FOLLOWING The General salutes the President before opening his briefcase and pulls out some papers. GENERAL (handing the President a piece of paper) Good evening Mr. President, gentlemen, I have the latest information for you, Sir. ANGLE ON PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (takes the paper and starts reading it) Good evening General, let's see what you have. P.O.V. PRESIDENT GENERAL (passing out papers to the others) The Captain exited the museum with Dr. Stevens and boarded his helicopter, then headed at normal toward National before he went completely stealth. The last message we have from them is heading for MIT. There is no evidence of a crash or of the bird being forced off it's course. It just disappeared, Mr. President, but of course it's designed to do just that. BACK TO SCENE OVAL OFFICE AIDE (panic in his voice) Nothing just disappears anymore General. CLOSE UP PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (holding up his hand) Ease off George. Exactly what kind of a chopper were they flying, Tom? (turning to General) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36. CLOSE UP GENERAL GENERAL (unflinching) One of our new stealth Blackhawk helicopters, Mr. President, with a custom communications and eavesdropping package installed by Captain Rennolds, himself. (handing the President a photo of the helicopter) Because of the secrecy of his mission, no records were kept on any construction or maintenance on the bird, Mr. President. ANGLE ON GENERAL GENERAL (CONT'D) (turning to Aide, with a hint of pride) And yes, George, this helicopter can just disappear, that's what it was designed for. ANGLE ON VICE-PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT (nervously) And what of the box and its contents, General O'Leary? CLOSE UP GENERAL GENERAL (turning to Vice- President) Mr. Vice-President, this morning, Captain Rennolds took the box and the scroll with him to Harvard to show it to Dr. Forester, who then contacted Dr. Stevens. P.O.V. PRESIDENT GENERAL (CONT'D) (turning back to the President) Rennolds then flew back to Washington and landed directed in front of the Smithsonian. We suspect Dr. Stevens has seen the scroll, has understood its contents and is now following its directions, Mr. President. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37. CLOSE UP VICE-PRESIDENT TO ANGLE ON VICE-PRESIDENT FOLLOWING VICE-PRESIDENT (turning to the President) So we still don't know one way or another? What can we do, if anything? (standing and pacing nervously) ANGLE ON PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (waving a hand at the Vice-President) Well Mike, I don't think we need panic, yet. (turning to the General) Any word from your son, General? ANGLE ON GENERAL GENERAL (calmly) That's the reason I wanted to have this meeting Mr. President. Just before the Captain returned to the helicopter with Dr. Stevens, Rocket called me, babbling something about Adam and his rebirth, and something about a new age for the human race. ANGLE ON PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (turning to Louis, sitting by himself) Louis, what do you have on this Linda Stevens and her sister, Eve? (turning back to the General) Tom, didn't you fly with a Captain Stevens? ANGLE ON GENERAL GENERAL (proudly) Yes, Mr. President, I flew with their uncle in Nam, Captain Sam Stevens, top rate fighter pilot he was. ANGLE ON LOUIS Louis opens a briefcase a pulls out two large folders, opens the first one, glances over a couple of pages, opens the other folder and does the same before speaking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 38. LOUIS (very softly, but seriously) Yes, General, we have that information, three times decorated, silver star and metal of honor, but we are not concerned about your exploits in Vietnam, only what is going on now. CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (CONT'D) (turning to the President, reading from his notes) These woman, Linda and Eve, gifted, both of them, home schooled by their parents, both had completed several doctorates before their eighteenth birthdays. Linda took after her mother, Marie, who speaks 36 languages, but to an extreme and is said to be able to see a language. P.O.V. PRESIDENT LOUIS (CONT'D) (looking up at the President, smiling slightly) We tried to recruit her years ago, but has her father's extreme globalist views, far to independent for Company use. We have worked very hard to keep her close enough and for the past several years we've had her here in Washington, at the Smithsonian, under our man Turner. (looking back at his notes) He's set up an incredible security tracking at the museum, so she's been carefully watched. She's done more work in her first two years than Turner's entire graduating class has done in the preceding ten, but for the past year has been working on very ancient languages. She has attended several conferences with Dr. Forester in the last six months. (looking back up at the President) She is in almost continuos communication with her sister at MIT, both video and audio, but they (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 39. LOUIS (CONT'D) only ever talks about family matters, never her work. We're sure it is some form of code, but have not been able to break it, so far. Linda Stevens does have a lab at her home, but unfortunately everything is very well shielded, so we have nothing from there. CLOSE UP VICE-PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT Shielded from what? (wringing his hands nervously) ANGLE ON LOUIS AND VICE-PRESIDENT LOUIS (leaning forward slightly and looking directly at the Vice- President) From you, Mr. Vice-President, her father's talents, but her mother's paranoia. Even though they are globalist, they still value their personal privacy. Dick Stevens has set up shielding even we can't penetrate. P.O.V. PRESIDENT LOUIS (CONT'D) (turning back to the President) The two sisters have always been very close, so I am sure they do all their real communications from their respective secured homes. CLOSE UP PRESIDENT The Vice-President starts to say something, but is cut off by the President. PRESIDENT (waving a hand at the Vice-President) Ease off Mike. What have you got on where her sister, Eve, is now, Lou? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40. ANGLE ON LOUIS LOUIS (slightly embarrassed) I sorry, Mr. President, she vanished two days ago. She was scheduled to be going on vacation, (looking at his notes) Sailing, I believe, but we don't know from where or even if she has left. We know she has a lab outside of MIT, but old Dick has done a good job of keeping it from our eyes, so far. P.O.V. LOUIS PRESIDENT (nodding acknowledgement) Do you have anything else on this box and it contents? CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (resentment in his voice) I've never seen anything like that box, or that woman. It took our boys 18 months open it and Linda Stevens does it in less than 8 seconds. ANGLE ON VICE-PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT (accusingly) There must be a leak, nobody's that smart. ANGLE ON LOUIS LOUIS (defensively) There are no leaks, Mr. Vice- President, but she knew exactly what it was. It seems that she's been studying the idea from the other end of the problem for the past year with the expectation possibly finding one. (with astonishment and respect) With only one scan of that scroll I am absolutely sure she knows exactly what it says. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 41. Louis stands and starts pacing at his end of the Oval Office. CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (CONT'D) (gravely concerned turning to face the President) There was something else we didn't expect, Mr. President, a second compartment, which Linda opened as easily as the first, contained a glass vial. We believe this vial contains the DNA of the first human, Adam. P.O.V. LOUIS VICE-PRESIDENT (excited) You're kidding? (starting to stand up) ANGLE ON PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (shouting as he stands up) Sit down Mike! Now! (calming down, but still startled) FULL SHOT OVAL OFFICE The President walks over to Louis and taking his elbow, guides him back to his seat. PRESIDENT (CONT'D) (calmly) Sit down Lou, let me do the pacing. Now, let me guess, you now think, Linda's sister, Dr. Eve Stevens, the greatest the geneticist the world has ever known, has this vial in her possession and is attempting to clone a copy of the original human being, Adam. ANGLE ON LOUIS LOUIS (uncertainly) We know her father's company has labs scattered across the globe, even a couple of facilities onboard ships. (pausing) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42. CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (CONT'D) She could be at any one of them or none of them. CLOSE UP AIDE AIDE (glaring at Louis, waving his hand at him) (sarcastically) Great, Louis, anymore earth shattering news from the CIA? CLOSE UP PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (turning to his Aide) (impatiently) Enough George, your sarcastic wit is not needed. ANGLE ON PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (CONT'D) (turning on Louis) Do you think she can do it, Lou? And if not, how soon? (urgently) CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (concerned) Mr. President, we have reason to believe she has already developed the ability to reproduce DNA and regenerate life. P.O.V. LOUIS VICE-PRESIDENT Is that like those alien lovers, the Raelians, the ones that claim God is from another planet? ANGLE ON LOUIS LOUIS Yes, Mr. Vice-President, but unlike the Raelians, the Stevens have been keeping very quiet about their abilities. No fancy press conferences about clone babies oar anything like (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 43. LOUIS (CONT'D) that. They have a world-wide reach now and their message is attracting new followers every minute. P.O.V. LOUIS GENERAL (curiously) How do these Raelians fit into the picture, Mr. Director? ANGLE ON LOUIS LOUIS (turning to the General, seriously) Dr. Stevens may be using them to propagate the message that this Adam of her's is their creator, returned to Earth to bring about global peace. CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (CONT'D) (frustrated) Or it may be just a distraction, a misdirection, to keep us from looking elsewhere. FULL SHOT OVAL OFFICE GENERAL (concerned) And could they do this, spread these false rumors? LOUIS (frankly) They reached a global threshold several years ago, and now have setup churches in over 184 countries around the world. That gives them the ability to disseminate any message they want. CLOSE UP PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (concerned) Any unusual movement of their leaders lately, Lou? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44. CLOSE UP LOUIS LOUIS (puzzled) That's the funny thing, Mr. President. From what we have been able to find out, they seem to be out of the loop, all of them are still on their regular schedules. P.O.V. PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (frustrated) So what are the other possibilities? LOUIS (seriously) The civilization that built that little box was not stupid. We couldn't see into it or cut into it. Nothing we did had any effect on it. If Captain Rennolds hadn't discovered those ancient diagrams about the box makers themselves, we'd never have got it opened. CLOSE UP VICE-PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT (impatient) Could you get to the point, Louis. CLOSE UP PRESIDENT PRESIDENT (burst out) For shit sake, Mike! P.O.V. PRESIDENT LOUIS (calmly) It's OK, Mr. President. As I was saying, any civilization that had the technology to create such a box, (briefly pausing) Would not rely on us having the technology to do anymore than supply raw materials and energy, at best. GENERAL (butting in) Self-activating DNA, triggered if not fueled by light, right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 45. LOUIS (nodding to the General's insight) Yes, General O'Leary. Mr. President, we suspect that Dr. Stevens could be talking to him right now. CLOSE UP PRESIDENT The President pushes back his chair and raises his arms, outstretched. PRESIDENT (laughing, almost shouting) Guess what America, God is back! DISSOLVE TO: EXT. OUTSIDE FARMHOUSE -- NIGHT Adam and Eve are standing together, leaning against a fence, Adam has his arm around Eve's shoulder, both are looking up at the stars. P.O.V. ADAM LOOKING UP AT THE NIGHT SKY ADAM (staring up) Not much has changed in twenty-five millennia, only a slight progression. Still as beautiful as I remember it. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (looking at Adam) Do you really remember it all, Adam? CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (looking at Eve) Yes, all of it. Do you want to know, Eve? ANGLE ON ADAM AND EVE Adam and Eve start walking down a pathway to a garden. EVE (hesitantly) It would take me many life times just to begin. (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 46. EVE (CONT'D) (starting to turn away) There is so much to learn on this planet, and now you are presenting us with the challenge of unraveling the mysteries of the whole universe! (turning back to look at Adam as they walk) Where does one begin? ADAM (pulling her closer to himself) Each of you was chosen to find me. We planned for each of you, a special task, best suited to your talents and abilities. CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (CONT'D) (stopping to look into Eve's eyes) Your sister's talent with languages will be enhanced, as will David's talent with computers and encryption codes. Rocket's reflects, observational skills, and his memory will be heighten to augment his natural abilities as a pilot and soldier. (pausing) All to them including you too, Eve. (turning to face Eve) CLOSE UP EVE EVE (stopping and turning to face Adam) What do you mean, when you said we planned it? CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (mischievous smile) You are the free spirit I have been searching for most of my life. (lightly tracing his finger tips over her cheek) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 47. ANGLE ON ADAM AND EVE EVE (her body tensing) Every time you touch me, every time you come near to me, a joy overwhelms my entire being, I feel like nothing can go wrong, and yet deep inside me, is my inner spirit wanting to fight, to be free. (looking into Adam's eyes) Can you understand the struggle I'm going through? CLOSE UP ADAM AND EVE They stop in the pathway, Adam turning to face Eve. ADAM (quiet laughter in voice) Oh, my beautiful, fragile little rose, why are you so afraid of letting go, of being loved and of giving love. (pressing his hand to her cheek) CLOSE UP EVE EVE Oh, my goodness! (gasping) Please don't stop! (grasping her hand against his) CLOSE UP ADAM AND EVE ADAM (pulling her closer) You, it was hoped, would be a good match as a mate, companion, lover, a friend. But only of your own choice. Please, I only ask you to be open to the possibility. I would never force myself on you, Eve, never. EVE (astonishment on her face) Yes, I am starting to see more and I want to be open to it all, but please answer my question, you said, WE PLANNED IT. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 48. CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (taking her hands in his hands) I am growing stronger with every moment. I didn't mention it to the others during the initial transference, but there is more to my powers, much more my dear. CLOSE UP EVE EVE (radiating smile) Yes, I don't know how, but yes, I know, my dearest Adam. (completely relaxing) ANGLE ON ADAM AND EVE Adam moves in close to Eve and grasps her face in his hands. Pulling closer, she embraces his lips and a glow starts forming around them. Soon the light blinds any image of the two figures, holding for a few moments, before fading away. ANGLE ON EVE EVE (CONT'D) (face glowing, hair blown back) The pure love I feel, this is how we are supposed to live. Thank you Adam. ANGLE ON ADAM AND EVE ADAM (smiling) You will grow stronger as I do, in the coming days. I will need a month of preparation, to be at full strength, before I can address your planet's peoples. I need to find a way of addressing as large a representative group as possible. Do you have this sort of assembly on present day Earth? EVE (nodding) Our United Nations represents almost every country on the planet, that should do just fine for your purposes. But first, we need to find you a place to stay, out of the watchful eyes of those who would want to (MORE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 49. EVE (CONT'D) maintain the status quo and their power over others. CLOSE UP ADAM ADAM (concerned) This place is not secure? CLOSE UP EVE EVE (reassuring) It's secure enough for a short stay, but not if you're going to need a month or more. Do you like sailing? ANGLE ON ADAM AND EVE Adam and Eve start walking again. ADAM (confused) I wouldn't know, I've never had a sailing, what is it? CLOSE UP EVE EVE (laughing) It's not something you eat, dear. (dreamily) It's a way to travel over water, under the power of the wind. It's a special freedom I enjoy when I want to get away from concerns of the world. ANGLE ON EVE EVE (CONT'D) (confidently)
