Giants in the Earth: The Making of 'The Fallen Ones' Page #2

---

Lawyers, accountants,

even back then, Matthew,

they were running things.

Feh.

Why don't you take

a look at this?

A man's limb.

No...

a hand.

It's a hand of a man.

This is very old.

Older than old.

The sentence structure

is just like

the old tribes.

Where did you find this?

Let me show you.

Seik, hah, no.

Tempest.

Rabbi,

you have a package.

Thank you, my dear.

I keep the battery companies

in business,

forgetting to turn

this thing off.

They make them that turn off

when you stop talking.

Yeah, well, who trusts

technology, huh?

Ah, perfect timing.

You know, I have

a confession to make.

I know Sumerian symbols

like what I had

for breakfast.

But when it comes

to ancient Hebrew,

to say Im rusty

is being kind.

"And the great flood shall

destroy them. "

You getting

anything yet, doc?

Something, Mickey.

Looks like that movie with the three

kids that get lost in the woods.

Wouldn't his guts

be all dried up?

His guts, for the most

part anyway,

are in those oversized

Canopic jars over there.

They probably replaced

all of his organs

with herbs, maybe leaves

or talismans.

That's the fascinating thing

about this mummy.

It's more like

an Egyptian mummy

than anything ever found

on this continent.

That's the fascinating

thing,

not that it's the size

of a truck?

Yeah, that, too.

Wait a second!

Mickey, go back, slowly.

Hang on, it's stuck.

All right, let me focus.

Oh, my god.

Are those people?

The camera is too low

to be in his stomach.

I'm assuming we're not

looking at his last meal.

Pharaohs often had

servants buried with them

in their tombs.

It looks like

these are posed.

Mickey, where are we

in relationship to his organs?

I'm guessing probably

around his right kidney.

That's what I thought.

It looks like they're actually

positioned as the kidneys themselves.

I think youll find more bodies

in the lungs and the heart.

As I read the letter

that you sent me

I realize

I love you so

but I know...

I'm goin' away now...

Why, oh, why can't

you see I miss you?

I'm not in the mood

to play around here.

I said, Im not gonna

screw around!

Ugly s. o. b., isn't he?

I don't know.

I'd say when he was alive

he was pretty good-looking.

Most Acromegalics

have distorted features.

The bones keep growing

while the rest of them stops.

This guy's

pretty proportionate.

Most what?

Acromegalics...

people who suffer

from gigantism.

Eli, why do you think

no one ever

came across one

of these things?

Is your grandmother alive?

What?

Your grandmother, I assume

she's passed on, yes?

Yeah, when I was a kid.

Well, if,

and I mean no offense,

if you were

to exhume her body now,

from her nice

do you think you would

find much of her left?

No.

Well, our friend here has

been buried in the ground

for over 50 centuries,

not to mention,

he seems to be

on the wrong continent.

I'm surprised we found

one at all.

Excuse me, Mr. Morton.

Gus has got a couple of guys

from each drill team ready.

They're just outside if

you want to talk to them.

I'll be right there.

Eli, you made a good point

about my granny,

but Ive seen dinosaur bones

closer to

What do you say

to that?

I was hoping you

wouldn't think of that.

What's going on?

Joseph is missing.

I don't know.

He left his house wide

open. Lights are on.

They found his knife

about 30 feet

from the front door

by that new mustang.

Listen up, we're

running out of daylight.

Joseph wasn't the kind

of guy

who would go off

in a drunk and disappear.

Maybe he got sick

or something

or disoriented.

These hills are honeycombed

with all sorts of caves

and tunnels.

Stay on your toes.

If you spot something,

radio back to Gus.

I'm going with jerry up

in the 'copter.

Never seen them

move so fast.

They must really be

worried about Joseph.

No, whoever finds him first

gets a case of beer.

Oh.

He's their friend.

Come on, matt.

That's Joseph.

He's probably the best friend

any of them ever had.

That's why

I didn't offer a keg.

Mickey, we'll help

you look for him.

Oh, I didn't know

you were a drinker.

Where are the police?

Why arent they out here?

Well, you have to go

to find somebody who wasn't

a part-time sheriff.

Morton likes to keep everything

in the family, anyway.

He's probably just worried

about Joseph mouthing off,

even after he gave him

a little bonus.

What bonus?

I paid off a couple of guys

to keep their traps shut,

so they wouldnt be yakking

about jumbo.

He trusts us so we

didn't get squat.

There's a ravine up here.

It's the remnants

of the old Ohio stone quarry.

I doubt Joseph came

out this far.

But we oughta

keep looking.

Matt. Matt.

Matt.

I was just trying

to tell you to slow down.

Gus, come in, Gus.

Andy, Gus here.

Go ahead.

Trouble. Me and Pete was checking

out these caves over at site 3.

He's gone now.

Gone? What do

you mean, gone?

I went to take a leak,

and I heard Pete shouting.

By the time I was back

at the truck, he was gone.

I can be there in a couple of

minutes. Tell him to sit tight.

You shouldn't have

been taking a leak.

Hang on. Pete may

show up anytime.

We'll be right there.

Andy!

Blood.

Somebody else was here

besides Pete and Andy.

Looks like Andys radio.

Guess Joseph wasn't

the only one

who walked away.

Andy!

Is this some kind

of protest group or something?

Who knows? Morton's made a

lot of enemies along the way.

Could be some rival

construction company, too.

Hey, guys!

Hey, guys!

Quit moving around!

Yeah, I knew growing up

with older sisters

would pay off some day.

I'm afraid I might have

nicked up your tire iron.

Hope we don't get a flat

on the way back.

Charles,

this is Gus here.

Did you find Joseph?

Negatory.

As a matter of fact, another

two of them went missing.

What, missing?

Well, we got a situation

here, Charles.

Damn it. I'll get some men

out there right away. Out.

All right, out.

Didn't sound too happy.

I don't think thats

our biggest problem.

Oh, yeah!

Matt, they took Mickey.

You look like hell.

We were attacked out there.

Then they just vanished while

we were looking for Mickey.

This is way too big for us

to handle by ourselves.

I agree. What's this?

It's my resignation,

and a copy of what

Im telling the police

about what happened

with Mickey and the others.

I've already called in someone

to take care of this.

He's number one

in the security business.

He'll be here

tomorrow morning.

We don't need the police.

We don't need the police?

Four people are missing,

Charles.

I've been down

that road before.

I'm not risking anybody

else's life for anything.

Well, the police wouldn't

do anything

that we're not doing,

except shut us down.

Is that what this is about,

the project?

What do you think's

going to happen

when the bureau of land

management guys come down here

to talk about our 42-foot

mummy that's under wraps?

You haven't told

them yet, have you?
