PREFACE
The Great Rift Valley
Some 25 million years ago two continents, Africa and Eurasia,
moving on their respective tectonic plates, collided and
recoiled shattering the earth's crust and creating the land
feature known as the Great Rift Valley. The valley extends
over 6,500 km from the DEAD SEA in the north to BEIRA
in the south and varies in width from thirty to ninety
kilometers and in depth from a few hundred to several
thousand meters, far below sea level. In Kenya the
valley is deepest in the hundred and sixty kilometers
that run north from Nairobi. Most of the lakes in the
Rift, such as LAKE NAKURU are shallow and having
no outlet to the sea, are high in mineral content as the
evaporation of water leaves salts behind. Nairobi
Africa is the center of genetic studies of evolution
and Paleontology. It's longed believed that some
species became extinct because they were unable to
compete for their survival. Or in some cases wiped
out by natural disaster or widespread disease. Using
the dinosaurs for example, we are still not sure what
happened.

FATHER JON CLANCY a nice looking man in his early fifties
is seen giving a sermon to his congregation on Genesis.
CLANCY
(With feeling)
The first chapter of the Bible, Genesis, tells
of the major creation events. My Lay
Minister Richard Hamilton has found
a brief showing the creationist side of
Genesis. Brother Hamilton.
Richard Hamilton approaches the pulpit from the side room dressed in
the manner of a lay minister. He places his brief on the pulpit shelf,
adjusts the microphone and begins his dissertation.
HAMILTON
There is no fundamental conflict between what
is said in Genesis and what we absolutely know
to be scientifically true. Genesis says that the
creation events were carried out over six days.
Day seven God rested and was done creating
and called the creation very good. CREATIONISTS
believe this could only be true if death and decay
were not yet present. That is, God created a perfect
world that only later was allowed to start to
decay when Adam and Eve disobeyed God.
Richard Hamilton is sowing extreme trauma as he attempts to continue
with his sermon.
HAMILTON (Cont.)
The perfect creation is cursed so God allows
death to enter the world.
He turns around and faces the statue of Jesus Christ on the cross.
He pauses for a minute then continues.
HAMILTON
(Slurred speech)
He sends a worldwide flood, saving only Noah's family,
then People and animals spread across the earth.
Physical separation leads to the formation of different
races and cultures.
Father Clancy notices HAMILTONS speech and actions so he
gets his attention.
CLANCY
Brother Hamilton, are you Ok, can we
get you some water?
HAMILTON
I'm ok father, just a little tired. (A beat).
My family had over 4,000 slaves on
their plantations and they were all
treated very badly by the slave
masters. I feel very bad about it
and I think the white race should
be punished.
He appears to be dizzy so Father Clancy moves up and grabs
HAMILTONS arm and leads him down from the pulpit and walks
him to the men's restroom.
HAMILTON
I'm ok father, I can go alone from here.
CLANCY
Ok, let me know if you need anything.
Father Clancy leaves the restroom. Hamilton removes a bag from
the janitors closet. He goes in the room closes the door and
places the bag on a small table. He sets the timer for ten minutes,
then rapidly leaves the church through the back door. Hamilton
was being observed by a middle age gentleman in the last row.
This mans name is Arnold Negrete, Detective Two, Los
Angeles Police Department. Negrete continues to watch
HAMILTONS suspicious actions and when he goes out the
door, he follows him close behind and observes the car where
he's opening the door.
CLOSEUP OF LICENSE
Negrete memorizes the license plate and goes back inside
the church. He runs over to where he saw Hamilton leave
a jock bag and carefully opens it.
CLOSEUP OF NEGRETES FACE
NEGRETE
Fuck me, it's a bomb!
He quickly grabs the bag and runs out the front door of
the church and upon seeing a large empty area in the
parking lot he throws it as far as he can. He then ducks
back inside the church door. He grimaces for a couple
of minutes and braces himself against the thick church
walls.
CLOSEUP OF JOCK BAG
The bag explodes, sending a tremendous blast, digging a large
hole in the asphalt parking lot. The resulting shock wave
breaks all the windows on that side of the church.

Captain Baldwin a nice looking main in his late forties is

BALDWIN
Arnold, we have tracked the licenses plate
and it belongs to a RICHARD HAMILTON of
Pacific Palisades. We have two cars at his
home and they are waiting for him to return
home.
NEGRETE
How many people in the church were cut
with flying glass?
BASTOW
We have about 6 or seven people at St. Johns
Hospital in Santa Monica. But nothing serious.
NEGRETE
Look Sam, I cut a profile on this guy and do
you know he was a Navy SEAL in VIET NAM. He
has the medal of honor with two oak leaf
clusters.
BALDWIN
Are you sure we have the right guy?.
NEGRETE
You know Sam, I don't think you trust
me. I memorized the license plate and
scratched it on the church wall so I
wouldn't forget it. It's the right guy
alright because I got a good look at
him when he gave the sermon. Also,
everything matches up to his military
records
BALDWIN
I just don't see why he would do this
to his own congregation?.
NEGRETE
You worry too much Sam. I checked with
the bomb squad and they said this is
the same type of explosive and detonator
that caused this blast at UCLA. This
was all US Navy issue, plus he was a
rigger in the Navy Seals.
BALDWIN
What's a RIGGER?
NEGRETE
A RIGGER is the SEAL TEAM member who
sets up the explosive charge. The
RIGGERS are trained to know exactly
H0W MUCH IT WILL TAKE TO BLOW
ANYTHING UP.
BALDWIN
I still can't believe why he would do
this, when he has such a clean military
record?
NEGRETE
Would you have believed it if he were
Black or Hispanic?
BALDWIN
Fuck you Negrete, you know that has
nothing to do with this.
NEGRETE
Yeah, right boss!!!!!

DR. Fleming is conversing with Dr. WASSER over creation science.
WASSER
There is no error, we do have 24 pairs!
Damn, I wish Goldman would call!
FLEMING
So just what is creationism trying to say?
WASSER
Creationism is not against modern science!
In fact, the Biblical mandate to subdue
the earth, Genesis 1:28, requires us to
understand it, which is what science is
all about. Creation Science is simply the
practice of science with the assumption
and acknowledgement that there is a
creator. God versus the now standard
operating assumption of naturalism that
nature is all there is.
FLEMING
DR WASSER, do you believe in GOD?
WASSER
No one, including creation scientists,
disputes that so-called micro-evolution
variation within a type of organism
caused by natural selection occurs may
be responsible for the large number of
species found within a type.
FLEMING
Is that a yes or a no?
WASSER
All evidences for evolution are of this
category like Darwin's finches, the
peppered moth, or bacteria that become
resistant to antibiotics.
FLEMING
(Insistent)
I want a Yes or No?
WASSER
However, it's important to note that
micro evolution is a misnomer, as it
implies that a little evolution is
taking place. No evolution is taking
place, as no increase in complexity
such as the development of a new
organ is being generated, but merely
the emphasis of some already present
traits over others.
FLEMING
FUCK! Why cant you give me a yes or no!
WASSER
Large scale change of one type of organism
into another, so-called macro-evolution,
is beyond the ability of mutation coupled
with natural selection to produce. (BEAT)
Yes, I do believe in God, but with certain
exceptions.
FLEMING
What the fuck is that suppose to mean?
WASSER
The belief that the atoms of a Big Bang
eventually produced people all by them
selves that is, without any intelligent
guidance is contrary to the well-proven
Second Law of Thermodynamics. The
universe is known to be running down yet
evolution postulates it is building up.
Atoms to people evolution is much more
a religious belief than a scientific fact.
The LANDSAT Phone starts to ring and Fleming picks it up.
FLEMING
Fleming here . . . yes .. I see, very well.
Fleming hangs up the receiver and looks hard at the wall.
WASSER
Well, was it Goldman?
FLEMING

Goldman is dead. (A beat). Someone
blew up the Anthropology building,

Roger, your on bloody TV!
NEWSCASTER (On TV)
Adventurer ROGER FLEMING of Vancouver
British Columbia has become the first
person to climb the highest peaks on
all seven continents and visit all
four geographic and magnetic poles.
Now, he said, he would like a good
stiff drink.
FLEMING
(Laughing)
That I would!
NEWSCASTER
The 35-year-old Anthropologist from Vancouver BC,
completed a 600-mile, 57-day trek across the ice to reach
the North Pole becoming the first person to complete
the grand slamof adventuring. I haven't slept in
about three days now so it hasn't quite sunk in at all,
an exhausted ROGER FLEMING said Friday by
telephone from Resolute, in Canada's Northwest
Territories. FLEMING trekked unaided to the North
Pole with ERIC KATISKA, a member of the
Norwegian Marines. They traveled on foot and
on skis, pulling supply sleds across the Canadian
High Arctic.
FRIEND
(Laughing)
Roger, how did you keep warm on those cold,
Arctic Nights? In a big roar heard throughout
the Pub his friends and colleagues shout and
then laugh.
FRIENDS
WHY ERIC OF COURSE!!!!
NEWSCASTER
The British adventurer's arrival at the North
Pole capped an 8-year odyssey that has
taken him to the summits of the World's
highest mountains and to the four main
poles, the magnetic North Pole in the
Arctic, the magnetic South Pole off the
coast of Antarctica, and the geographic
North and South Poles at the top and
bottom of the world. "I've still got to
have a shave and apart from that get
down to some heavy drinking I suppose,"
he said with a laugh.
FLEMING
(Laughing)
AND I'M STILL DRINKING!!!!!
NEWSCASTER
FLEMING, who is the director of the Vancouver
Museum of Natural History when not adventuring,
said the thought of doing the grand slam was
the last thing on his mind when he started the
journey 8 years ago by climbing Alaska's Mount
McKinley, the highest peak in North America.
"I've got a proper job and I just do this as a hobby,
it just sort of materialized," he mused.
FRIEND
(Shouting)
YEAH RIGHT ROGER!!!!
NEWSCASTER
FLEMING plans to write a book about his
experiences and said he hoped his success
will inspire others who are interested in
outdoor adventuring to overcome their
fears of failure. "There's no shame in failure,
just keep plodding away," he advised.
FRIEND
(Shouting and laughing)
Yeah Roger, hoe many times did you mess
your britches!!!!
The whole pub erupts in a roar of laughter, and friends are seen
patting him on the back.
NEWSCASTER
His first two attempts to reach the geographic
North Pole, in 1991 and 1992, were thwarted
by equipment problems and inexperience.
This year's attempt also had its share of
problems. FLEMING fell through the ice
into freezing water and he and ERIC
KATISKA almost ran out of food before
they could be re-supplied by airplane.
His wife, DEBRA, and young Daughter
KARIN were on the airplane that picked
up the explorers at the North Pole and
flew them to the remote northern community
of Resolute then home to Vancouver BC..
He admitted that family considerations
may well keep him off the trail of adventure
for a while.
FLEMING
NO SHIT !!!!!!
NEWSCASTER
In addition to the geographic and Magnetic
poles, the adventurer's grand slam were
Mt. McKinley in North America, Mt.
Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mt. Everest in Asia,
Mt. Elbrus in Europe, Vinson Massif in
Antarctica, Mt. Aconcagua in South
America and Cartensz Pyramid in Australia.

NEWSCASTER
FBI on Tuesday placed RICHARD HAMILTON
on its 10 Most Wanted fugitives list, seeking him
as a suspect in a deadly bombing at The university
of Los Angeles. The reward for information
leading to his arrest was raised from $100,000 to
up to $1 million. The steps were taken in hopes
of bringing more leads from the public. Anyone
with information about HAMILTON was asked to
call the FBI. At large HAMILTON, a 31-year-old
Investor from Pacific Palisades California, has
eluded capture since the bombings at UCLA.
Investigators presume Hamilton is still in the
United States. They noted that HAMILTON
is an ex Navy SEAL and has been trained to kill
and who can survive alone in the wild.
He turns off the TV and sits down in a chair facing Negrete.
NEGRETE
(Doesn't care)
You piece of shit, why did you have
to take out all those people at UCLA?
HAMILTON
(Upset)
PAYPACK IS A REAL BITCH PAL!
NEGRETE
(Pissed)
Payback, what did those people
ever do to you?
HAMILTON
They were never slaves!
NEGRETE
What the fuck is that suppose to
mean slick?
HAMILTON
Almost everyone will agree that we live
in a deeply troubled society. When
someone interprets as derogatory
almost anything that is said about
him or about groups with whom he
identifies we conclude that he has
inferiority feelings or low self-esteem.
NEGRETE
You're a fucking bloody Liberal?
HAMILTON
Those who are most sensitive about politically
incorrect terminology are not the average black
ghetto-dweller, but a minority of activists, many
of whom do not even belong to any oppressed
group but come from privileged strata of society.
Political correctness has its stronghold among
white males from middle to upper-middle-class
families.
NEGRETE
Liberals LOVE the problems of groups that have
an image of being weak or otherwise inferior. They
would never admit to themselves that they have
such feelings, but because they do see these
groups as inferior that they identify with their
problems.
HAMILTON
If a person is inferior it's not his fault, but society's,
because he has not been brought up properly.
NEGRETE
Self-hatred is a Liberal trait. Liberals may claim
that their activism is motivated by compassion
or by moral principles, and moral principle does
play a role for the Liberal of the over socialized
type. But compassion and moral principle cannot
be the main motives for Liberal activism. Hostility
is too prominent a component of Liberal behavior,
so is the drive for power.
HAMILTON
If one believes that affirmative action is good for
black people, does it make sense to demand
affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms?
Obviously it would be more productive to take
a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would
make at least verbal and symbolic concessions
to white people who think that affirmative action
discriminates against them.
NEGRETE
So that's why you blew up all those people to
make a point?
HAMILTON
The State of California took the Affirmative Action
program away from the minority student, so now
they will pay with the loss of their white kids!
NEGRETE
You Liberal activists think you are Helping black
people but your not! Instead, race problems serve
as an excuse for you to express your own hostility
and frustrated need for power. In doing so you
actually harm black people, because the activists
hostile attitude toward the white majority tends
to intensify race hatred.
HAMILTON
We actually push for affirmative action, for moving
black people into high-prestige jobs, for improved
education in black schools and more money for
such schools, the way of life of the black underclass
we regard as a social disgrace.
NEGRETE
You want to integrate the black man into the
system, make him an executive, a lawyer, a
scientist just like upper-middle-class white
people.
HAMILTON
The last thing they want is to make the black man
into a copy of the white man, instead, we want
to preserve African American culture.
NEGRETE
What is this preservation of African American
culture consist? Eating black-style food and
listening to RAP music. Bullshit, you want to
make the black man conform to white, middle-
class ideals.
HAMILTON
We want to make him study technical subjects,
become an executive or a scientist, spend his
life climbing the status ladder to prove that black
people are as good as white. We want to make
black fathers responsible, we want black gangs
to become nonviolent,etc.
NEGRETE
The over socialized Liberal wants to integrate
the black man into the system and make him
adopt its values. If they engage in violence
they claim to be fighting against racism.
HAMILTON
One must have goals toward which to exercise
one's power. Everyone has goals if nothing else,
to obtain the physical necessities of life, food,
water and clothing.
NEGRETE
Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life
results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.
In order to avoid serious psychological problems,
a human being needs goals with a reasonable rate
of success in attaining his goals.
HAMILTON
In this society only minimal effort is necessary to
satisfy one's physical needs. It's enough to go
through a training program to acquire some petty
technical skill, then come to work on time and
exert the very modest effort needed to hold a job.
The only requirements are a moderate amount of
intelligence and, most of all, simple OBEDIENCE.
If one has those, society takes care of one
from cradle to grave.
HAMILTON
The money-maker constantly strives for more and
more wealth. The scientist no sooner solves one
problem than he moves on to the next. The long-d
istance runner drives himself to run always farther
and faster. Many people who pursue special
activities will say that they get far more fulfillment
from these activities than they do from the mundane
business of satisfying their biological needs, but
that is because in our society the effort needed to
satisfy the biological needs has been reduced to
triviality. The only way a black man gets ahead in
this society is if a White man makes it happen!
NEGRETE
Fuck you slick, with your White man
bleeding heart bullshit!
Hamilton takes a large survival knife out of it's sheath and makes
a large deep cut in Negrete's wrist. It starts to pour blood. Negrete
lets out a screaming insult to Hamilton.

NEFILIM, were none other than the
fallen angels who followed Satan
in rebellion and were cast down

more than you had a little while
ago when I was bleeding you! Have
you ever been down to Mexico in a
light plane?
NEGRETE
All the time.
HAMILTON
Don't get cute.
NEGRETE
I have a 1984 Cessna 182 that I
fly down to my cabin, twice a
month.
HAMILTON
Ok! What size is the strip at
HERMOSILLO?
NEGRETE
It's hard pack clay and about 1800
ft long.
HAMILTON
Can I get my Bonanza in there?
NEGRETE
I have landed my friends Bonanza in
there.
HAMILTON
Ok, do we have a deal?
NEGRETE
Like I said before, I don't have
much of a choice. On one condition?
HAMILTON
No I won't take off the cuffs, I'm
not that stupid! Tell you what,
I'll take the cuff off your left
wrist and attach your right wrist
behind you and to your belt.
NEGRETE
Ok, do it.
HAMILTON
If you try to jump me I'll blow
your head off, doctrine or no
doctrine! Because that's self
defense!
CUT TO:
EXT. SOUTH AFRICA
EXT. LAKE NAKURU - SOUTH SHORE
EXT. LARGE MOBILE HOME
DR. Fleming is conversing with Dr. Goldman over their find.
FLEMING
How do we know this isn't an
Egyptian Mummy?
WASSER
The Egyptian method of mummification is
they draw out the brain through the
nostrils with an iron hook. Then, making
a cut near the flank with a sharp knife, they
take out all the intestines, and clean the
belly, rinsing it with palm wine and bruised
spices then fill the belly with pure ground
myrrh and cassia and any other spices like
frankincense, then they sew up the anus.
The body is embalmed with saltpeter and
they wrap it in bandages of linen. As you
can see this is not the case with this body!
Pointing to the neck of their cadaver Fleming spots a blemish or tattoo.
FLEMING
What the hell is this?
WASSER
(Looking closely)
This is Script.
FLEMING
SCRIPT?
WASSER
It's ANGELIC script
FLEMING
My God DR. WASSER, maybe we did find
an Angel! Do you know how to read the script?
WASSER
This inverted S in uppercase tells
you what angelic group he was in.
The name of the group started with
this symbol.
FLEMING
We need to get back to UCLA!
WASSER
The support group said the plane will
be here first thing tomorrow morning,
so we should start packing now.
FLEMING
Dr. WASSER we'll both be famous for this!
WASSER
I hope we don't fall victims to a curse or something!
