Dr. ZUCCO is in his Racal suit with his assistant SONIA BELL
at his side. He's placing a toxic substance back in the BIO
holder and he locks it.
ZUCCO
(smiling)
I think that should do it Sonia.
let's get out of these monkey suits
and I'll buy you lunch.
BELL
You have a deal, Dr. Zucco!
CUT TO:
INT. WILHELM RESEARCH CAFETERIA
Dr. Zucco and his assistant Sonia Bell are having lunch
and she asks him a very special question.
BELL
Dr. Zucco, what ever happened
to the Genesis Spore?
ZUCCO
(disturbed)
I think that is something that's
best left alone, my dear.
BELL
You can trust me, I will not tell
a soul!
ZUCCO
(disturbed)
I think a lot of you, or I would
not tell you a thing.
BELL
It's that bad?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
You have no idea?
BELL
Please tell me.
ZUCCO
(somber)
I was in my early thirties, and
I was on a special assignment for
the WHO. We had been collecting
toxic Ebola Samples deep in Kitum
Cave when we came upon a deep
crevasse. We could see a glowing bright
green substance growing on the wall
of the Crevasse.
BELL
Green, like a bright light?
ZUCCO
(disturbed)
It was a glowing green, like an
electronic green.
BELL
Go ahead.
ZUCCO
My assistant Dr. Louis Bagu and
myself stared in awe and we were
captivated by the glowing
substance. We knew then we would
have to descend deep into the
Abyss to collect some for our
research.
BELL
It was that fascinating?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
Oh, You have no idea?
BELL
Go ahead.
ZUCCO
(somber)
I took us days to rig up a method
for one of us to descend down what
we estimated to be over a hundred
feet to get some samples.
BELL
Was it growing, and was it in
great abundance?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
It was growing like alfalfa.
BELL
Please continue..
ZUCCO
(somber)
I was the older, and of course the
heavier of the two of us so my
assistant volunteered to go down
into the Abyss.
BELL
Did you suspect it was Toxic?
ZUCCO
Of course, something that beautiful
had to be toxic. He wore the Racal
suit, of course.
BELL
Go ahead.
ZUCCO
I think Dr. Bagu was down well
over a hundred feet and when
his airpack was almost empty I brought
him up. He was exhausted, so when
he removed his suit I let him rest
then I bombarded him with questions.
BELL
Was he ok?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
Oh, You have no idea, he looked
like a man who had seen god.
BELL
God?
ZUCCO
(somber)
He had streaks of gray in his hair,
that he did not have when he went
down. He appeared in shock so I
covered him with a blanket. I gave
him hot tea, then he started to
talk.

Sharif, Lensi, Gauthier and Duvall are sitting around the
campfire. They hear the bellowing of the large cats in the
background.
SHARIF
(alarmed)
The cats sound hungry.
Sharif takes his pistol out and chambers a round.
GAUTHIER
(In a lot of pain)
Well my friend, that will not
stop a large cat, as long .... as
we stay around the fire we'll
be ok.
SHARIF
(looking at Gauthier)
How much do you know about the
Genesis Spore?
GAUTHIER
(not concerned)
Not very much why?
SHARIF
(coughing)
Well, when the Dead Sea Scrolls
were found, our best scholars
translated the Aramaic and Hebrew
Scrolls. In the Aramaic version
the term rib, has the same
meaning as excess skin, like
ear lobe.
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, I've heard this
before and it's very interesting.
DUVALL
(concentrating)
By all means go ahead.
SHARIF
(clearing his throat)
Excuse me, the night air is not
to good on my allergies. Well as
I was saying, in the Hebrew
Genesis, Adam needed a mate so
one night while he was sleeping
the lord took one of his ribs and
create a mate.
LENSI
(smiling)
But not in the Aramaic version!
SHARIF
My friend gets very excited when
I tell this story. Well anyway,
in the Aramaic version God takes
a piece of Adam's ear lobe to
create his mate.
DUVALL
Any Genetic material will do, it doesn't
have to be a rib.
LENSI
Exactly, that was very astute of
of you Mr. Duvall!
They continue to converse and Sharif draws a picture of
a cave in the sand.
SHARIF
(serious)
In the Aramaic version god tells Adam
to find a bright substance in a cave
and cover the piece of his ear lobe
with the jelly substance. He did and
the next morning he found a young child
in his tent..
GAUTHIER
(concerned)
Not full grown? That makes more sense
he created an image in the form of a
child, rather a full grown woman, but
how did he create a female, instead
of maybe another man.
SHARIF
(smiling)
Very good Dr. Gauthier.
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, she was an
exquisite female, but she
was sterile!
GAUTHIER
(concerned)
Oh really.
SHARIF
(excited)
Oh yes my good man and more!
LENSI
(also excited)
The Aramaic language was dying out
and the only scribes were writing
in Hebrew, so thus ...... the
Hebrew version took precedence!
SHARIF
So they determined the genetic
material from Adam was a piece
of an ear lobe.
DUVALL
Cut off his ear lobe and .....
SHARIF
Grew a child.
SHARIF
Of course the child resembled him
and this pleased Adam.
DUVALL
I'm shocked, totally shocked!
They continue to converse and Sharif draws what appears
to be Ancient writing.
SHARIF
(serious)
This Arabic writing is very close to the
original Aramaic translation. In the
dead sea scrolls I saw, the translation
was that the origination of the Genesis
substance was located in Africa near a
very large Volcano and a very large cave
measuring one thousand cubits across.
GAUTHIER
(concerned)
Kitum Cave, one thousand feet wide!
SHARIF
(smiling)
Very good Dr. Duvall.
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, our names will
go down in history.
GAUTHIER
(still concerned)
In all of this translation of
the Aramaic version of Genesis,
there is a part that doesn't
make sense?
SHARIF
(startled)
And what is that my good man?
GAUTHIER
(smiling)
How did Eve ........ bear
children.
SHARIF
(looking at Gauthier)
Oh really, use your imagination.
DUVALL
(understanding)
She didn't bear them, they were also
created from genetic material from
her ear lobe, a piece of skin not
necessary for anything!
GAUTHIER
(questioning)
Well my friend, that sounds
plausible, but why didn't
Adam use Blood?
SHARIF
(looking at Gauthier)
Check your text books, and you'll
will find that genetic material
is much cleaner and very pure
when first extracted. Also,
when a cut is made, anti-bodies
start to attack the cut,
thus the blood is corrupted.
GAUTHIER
(not concerned)
Are you a Micro-Biologist?
SHARIF
(coughing)
Well, for over twenty years I
taught Micro-Biology in one
of the best medical schools
in the Middle East.
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, he's very, very
famous!
DUVALL
(concentrating)
What do you plan to do with
the Genesis Spore?
SHARIF
(clearing his throat)
Excuse me, my benefactors have
deemed this project classified
and as much as I would like to
tell you the vision we have for
it's use, I can't!
LENSI
(smiling)
If we could tell you the plans
we have, it would blow your
mind!
DUVALL
Genetic engineering in humans
are viewed by many Religions
as anti-Christ!
LENSI
Exactly, that's why we can't
tell you the plans for Genesis!
SHARIF
(serious)
The Aramaic version of the dead sea
scrolls tells of a time when all
life on this planet well come to
an end. This passage of revelations
was purposely omitted from the
Hebrew version.
GAUTHIER
(concerned)
Omitted? Why?
SHARIF
(smiling)
My dear Dr. Gauthier, to control
poor peasants they need to
believe in something and they
need to know, that a Messiah
is coming, not that everything
will come to an end, in the
year 2000!
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, the end will
come in a few short years!
GAUTHIER
The Aramaic version of Genesis
makes sense, but the end in
the year two-thousand, I don't
buy it!
SHARIF
(excited)
That's your view and your entitled
to it. If your priest or Rabbi told
you the end of the world was coming
in the year two-thousand and two,
December 22, would you believe it!
DUVALL
Of course not!
SHARIF
Why?
DUVALL
I'm an educated man, and without
scientific proof, it has no
basis!
SHARIF
(serious)
Excellent young Dr. Duvall, you said
it, No Scientific Proof! Do you
think the same way, Dr. Gauthier?
GAUTHIER
Yes I do.
SHARIF
(smiling)
The early Rabbis, were as intelligent
as any of us, so they left out
the worlds end in the scrolls and
substituted the coming of the Messiah!
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, there will be no
Messiah.
GAUTHIER
(still concerned)
So where does that leave
Christianity?
SHARIF
(somber)
You sound concerned, that all your
beliefs are now being questioned.
GAUTHIER
(smiling)
Oh please, this revelation by a
person barely known to me does not
concern me.
SHARIF
(looking at Gauthier)
Oh really, I'm aware this Aramaic
revelation does not surprise you,
but at the very least it should
concern you!
DUVALL
Why?
SHARIF
(looking at Gauthier)
If you are the fine scientist that
I think you are, you need to know
how we will all die in a few short
years!
DUVALL
(Questioning)
I want to know!
SHARIF
(looking at Gauthier)
Polar Shift!
GAUTHIER
(not concerned)
Oh please?
SHARIF
Well, for over ten thousand
years the axis of the earth
has started to decay, and now
the shift will start in a
few years.
LENSI
(smiling)
Yes my friends, he's right!
DUVALL
(concentrating)
What scientific evidence do
do you have to support this
theory?
SHARIF
(clearing his throat)
We've been using lasers to
measure the alignment of the earth
and the evidence is there!
DUVALL
I don't believe it.
LENSI
We can prove it!

Dr. Zucco a man in his early fifties and his assistant Sonia Bell
a very attractive young lady, are having lunch.
BELL
So what did he say?
ZUCCO
(disturbed)
Dr. Bagu said while was down in
the crevasse he witnessed a
very profound event.
BELL
He saw god?
ZUCCO
(disturbed)
He saw what appeared to be a small
monkey that had fallen on a ledge
in the crevasse died and was being
re-born by the Genesis Spore!
BELL
Re-born, you mean this substance
can not only create life, but also
heal a person back to life?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
Yes!
BELL
Please tell me more!
ZUCCO
(Somber)
When he regained his composure
he told me he had collected several
pounds of the Spore and had placed
it in his collection bag. I looked
in the bag and it was a glowing green,
like an electronic green.
BELL
You were wearing a Bio-suit, right?.
ZUCCO
Oh yes, when inside Kitum you always
wear a bio-suit. Dr. Bagu and I stared in
awe as we looked inside the bag and
were captivated by the glowing substance.
That's when I noticed a small cut in his Racal
suit, apparently cut by a rock when he
descended deep into the Abyss to
collect some of the spores!
BELL
Was this spore toxic?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
Oh, You have no idea, how toxic!
BELL
Go ahead.
ZUCCO
(somber)
We spent hours cleaning and trying
to disinfect the wound located near
his right hip. A green mold was
starting to grow in the effected area!
BELL
If it was growing, and was covering
his back why didn't you try burning
it off?
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
I did, I even tried Sulfuric Acid
but, it kept on growing, it just
couldn't be stopped.
BELL
Please continue..
ZUCCO
(somber)
I called my home base and asked for
a helicopter to fly him to Nairobi
for medical care but because of the
bad weather, it would be days before
they could pick him up.
BELL
So what did you do?
ZUCCO
In two days he was completely
covered and he was in so much
pain I used up all the Morphine
I had in my medical bag. He
died two days later. When I
buried him he was covered from
head to toe by the green mold!
BELL
I don't understand, you said it
had brought back a monkey, but
it killed a man!
ZUCCO
I wasn't finished, Dr. Bagu
was down at least two to three
feet and I covered the top of the
grave with several large stones.
BELL
And.
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
Oh, You won't believe what I am
going to tell you!
BELL
His grave was empty?
ZUCCO
(somber)
During the night he must have come
back to life because he dug his
way out.
BELL
And.
ZUCCO
(misty eyed)
Oh, I looked everywhere for my
friend but he was gone!

His grave was empty?

the Polar Shift starts!
SHARIF

My colleagues have been receiving
data from the LandSat System and

BELL
Were you wearing your Racal suit?
ZUCCO

Oh yes, inside the cave my search
took me to the crevasse and I look
down into the Abyss and I got the
shock of my life. There he was,
hanging on to the side of the rocks
eating the growing spore like it was
a fresh salad. I was so terrified I
ran out of the cave!
BELL
He had been re-born, but in the form
of an animal?
ZUCCO

Yes! He was an insane animal, and of
course he was no longer a man. His
features had changed and he looked

alive is your knowledge.
SHARIF
If something happens to the spore,
were all dead.
O'HARE
That Iraqi pig can go straight to
hell!
WEISS
We want half, no more and no less!
O'HARE
Do you have a problem with that
you Arab pig!
SHARIF
Ok, but we divide it back in Nairobi,
because I don't trust you!
WEISS
(putting his gun down)
Ok, Dr. Sharif, the plane will be here
tomorrow to pick us up.
SHARIF
We have a plane waiting for us right
now, why do you think I was headed
for the Airstrip!
O'HARE
Ok, pack up and let's go!
SHARIF
I will carry the spore!
WEISS
(putting his gun down)
No way, I will carry the spore.
SHARIF
You don't know how to handle toxic
agents like this.
O'HARE
We will risk it!
In one quick motion Jean Luc pulls out his back-up gun
and aims it at O'Hare and Weiss.
JEAN LUC
(SCREAMING)
Both of you give me your guns
or I will kill you right now!
Weiss grabs his gun and points it at Jean Luc but not
fast enough, he's dropped with three shots, O'Hare goes
for his gun and Jean Luc also drops him with three shots!
SHARIF
Good work Jean Luc, where did you
learn how to shoot like that!
GAUTHIER
(happy)
Oh, my friend was in the French
Foreign Legion and he's a trained
killer!
SHARIF
(concerned)
We'll have to bury them, so it
looks like we'll miss our plane
but I heard them say their plane
will be here tomorrow!
GAUTHIER
We could use the spore on them and
give them their miserable lives back?
SHARIF
No way, these men are born killers,
society is better off without them!
GAUTHIER
(somber)
Ok, how do you feel about this Jean
Luc, Lensi?
LENSI
(concerned)
If you killed a Cobra because
she tried to bite you, would you
revive her, so she could bite
you or someone else?
GAUTHIER
Jean Luc?
JEAN LUC
Do you think they would bring
us back to life after shooting
us, I don't think so. There dead
leave them dead, the world is
better off without them! They
are mercenaries, the worst Swine!
SHARIF
Gentlemen we're not seeing the
forest through the trees. He have
a much larger issue here. Don't
you see, we've become gods!
We now have the power to decide
between life and death!
GAUTHIER
(concerned)
You are absolutely right my dear
Dr. Sharif, we have become gods
and I don't know if we're
really worthy of this gift to
dispense it properly. I don't
think we as men of science can
say, let them die, they're not
good enough to live on this
earth, I think we have a very
strong moral and religious
issue here!
SHARIF
(concerned)
Listen to him boys, he's right
we're men of science, we must
do whatever we can to restore their
lives. What if they were dying of
the fever would we give them anti-
biotic or would we let them die?
GAUTHIER
We could use the spore on them when
we get ready to leave and leave them
here with their god, to recover or
die!
SHARIF
I agree, as men of science we must
try to bring them back.
GAUTHIER
(somber)
Ok, how do you feel about this Jean
Luc, Lensi?
LENSI
I agree, lets do it!
JEAN LUC
Fine with me, I just hope they
don't come after me later!
