	EXT.	MUROC DRY LAKE                               

	Darkness settles over the barren dry lake bed and the cry of a
	coyote is heard in the distance. There's a crash of thunder and
	an electrical storm begins pushing huge cumuli-nimbus clouds
	across the dry lake bed. As the electrical storm intensifies a 
	huge funnel cloud is seen as it comes closer to the cameras 
	POINT OF VIEW. The cloud stops and everything starts to settle 
	down. A NAKED YOUNG MAN with chiseled features, long black hair, 
	a heavy beard and dark skin is seen in the mist and appears to 
	be grimacing while he's THRASHING AND WRITHING in agony and is 
	speaking a language long forgotten.
		
					YOUNG MAN   (Aramaic)
				(Yelling and screaming)
			Father, .... Why are you doing this
			to me. I did this for you once before
			and here I am again.
		
	Tears are coming down the young mans cheeks and his face
	is twisted in agony.
		
					HEAVENLY VOICE   (V.O.)
			ADON my son, I promise you this
			will be the last time.
						
					ADON   
			Very well father, I will do this
			for you!
								
	The huge cloud starts to disappear and the young man drops in
	the wet sand and curls up in the fetal position and goes to sleep.
	
	The camera pulls away from this sight and pans the barren desert
	a MILITARY VEHICLE is seen speeding to the young mans position.
	
					OFFICER	(V.O.)
				(YELLING)
			Step on it Airman, I want to
			see who this fellow is and
			what he's doing on a RESTRICTED
			MILITARY RESERVATION.


			
	The CAMOUFLAGED HUM "V" Military vehicle pulls up to the young
	mans position. The officer jumps out of the Hum "V" levels 
	his M16 RIFLE at the intruder and motions for the driver to
	assist.
	
	The camera focuses on the young man laying in the wet sand curled
	up and motionless. The officer pokes him with the end of his rifle.
	
					OFFICER
			Ok, you ....this is Captain
			ORVILLE SMITH and you're
			under arrest!

					AIRMAN   
			I think he's dead sir, being
			naked as a jay-bird he's probably
			dead from exposure.
			
	Captain Smith reaches down and feels his throat for a sign of life,
	feeling a slight pulse.

					SMITH    
			All the sensors we buried last year
 			on that dry lake and the first thing
			we catch is a nude man in the middle
			of nowhere!
				(pointing to the Hum "V")
			Airman Jason, get the blanket out
			of the Hum "V" and lets wrap him 
			up and take him in. On the double!

	Jason is seen running to the vehicle and getting the blanket.	

					SMITH
			Come on Airman, get the lead out! 

	Jason runs back to Smith with the blanket and they wrap up
	the unconscious young man picking him up placing him 
	in the Hum "V".

					SMITH  (Cont.)
				(carrying the young man)
			This must be some kind of a 
			initiation for some college 
			kids and when I find out who
			they are someone's going to
			jail.

					JASON
			This is a real cruel trick!

			ADON my son, this language they

					ADON    (English)   
			Thank you father, I love you!
								
	The mist starts to disappear and the young man drops into a deep 
	sleep. The NURSE has read the reports on the tests they've given 
	the young man and is alarmed when she sees the results of blood 
	tests. She 	picks up the phone and calls the DOCTOR.

				(WHISPERING)
			Dr. BERG, the blood tests have

	The mist starts to appear again and writing appears on the

	The NURSE re-enters the room and pulls the chart off the bed

				(loosing control)
			Jack, I have to work late tonight

	The young man gets the message so he starts walking down the 
	hallway and stops in front of a door with a nameplate 
	"MAJOR COLEMAN WRIGHT  CHIEF OF STAFF". He reaches 
	over to the door knob and turns it, the door opens and the camera 
	pans the room then stopping just over his right shoulder. He takes a 
	few steps and closes the door, MAJOR WRIGHT looks up from his
	reports and appears upset when he sees who it is.

	INT.	EDWARD'S CHIEF OF STAFF  -  OFFICE   

					WRIGHT
			Airman Lopez, I know why you're here
			and believe me, I did everything I 
			could do medically for your wife.
			I'm sorry we lost her!
	
	The young man stares at the officer, but says nothing.

					WRIGHT	(Cont.) 
			Look, I'm really sorry, but there
			was really nothing we could do!
			I'll make up a Prescription so
			you can go down to the Pharmacy
			and get some Valium. It will
			make your loss a bit easier.
			
	The Doctor pulls out a blank prescription and scribbles 
	on it and hands it to the Airman.

					WRIGHT  (Cont.)
				(STERN)
			Airman Lopez, I'm really busy,
			will you please excuse me.
			
	The young man takes the Prescription and stuffs it in his shirt 
	pocket.

					WRIGHT
				(being an asshole) 
			Look, you forgot to salute me when
			you came in, and you really should
			have gone through the chain of 
			command, but under the circumstances
			I'll forget it, now if you will ....
			please excuse me.
						
					LOPEZ
				(In shock)
			Sir, we both told you she was allergic
			to Penicillin, why did you give it
			to her?
				
	The officer is starting to feel uneasy.

					WRIGHT 
			Look, they lost her chart, you
			can't blame me for that.
		
	Lopez reaches around the back of his shirt and removes his service 
	side-arm, a fifteen shot BERETTA Semi-automatic pistol, pulls it
	out aiming it at the Major, just as he looks up at Lopez.

					WRIGHT  
				(with authority)
			Airman Lopez, consider yourself
			under arrest for pointing a
			loaded weapon at an officer.
			Now put that down before I call
			the Air Police.
			
	The young man chambers a round in the BERETTA and pointing it 
	at the Majors face.

					LOPEZ
				(crying) 
			You piece of shit, you couldn't 
			care less could you, if it would 
			have been the Colonels wife, you
			would have torn the place apart
			looking for her medical history.


					WRIGHT
				(STERN)
			Airman Lopez, this is the last time
			I will tell you, put the gun down!
			
	The young man sees the officer, reaching into his desk drawer 
	pulling out a pistol.

					WRIGHT	(Cont.) 
			I warned you and now you're under
			arrest!
			
	As the Doctor pulls out the pistol Airman Lopez opens
	fire into the officers face, he empties the clip in a
	few short seconds. The rounds are seen destroying his
	face then his neck, arms and chest. He drops on his 
	desk like a sack of potatoes. 

	CLOSE ON DOOR
		
	The door starts to open, and Dr. Berg is standing there 
	staring at Lopez with the smoking gun in his hand. He
	registers extreme shock as he yells.

					BERG
			MEDIC'S, MEDIC'S.....MAN DOWN! 

	Lopez is glassy eyed and reaches in his pocket and pulls out 
	a full clip.

	CLOSE ON HAND HOLDING BERETTA - SLOW MOTION

	He pushes the button and the empty clip falls out bouncing 
	off the floor, he slips in the new clip and releases the slide.
	pointing the gun at Berg.

					LOPEZ
				(shouting) 
			Shut up .......shut up....!
						
					BERG
				(In shock)
			Medics ......Medics.......man down!
			
	Lopez aims the pistol at Dr. Berg and opens fire
	emptying all the rounds catching him in the face
	head neck and chest area.

					LOPEZ 
			I told you to keep your fucking
			mouth shut!
			
	Lopez ejects the clip and reaches in his pocket and places another 
	loaded one in his gun. He pauses for a minute and runs out of the 
	room. Two Air Policeman come running down the hall and see 
	Lopez with a gun in his hand and start yelling at him.

	INT.	EDWARD'S HOSPITAL - HALLWAY   

					AIR POLICEMAN ONE  
				(with authority)
			Airman, DROP THE GUN!
			
	Lopez fires at both of them striking one in the chest, taking him 
	down. The other opens fire on Lopez and spins him around 
	crashing on the floor.

					LOPEZ
				(coughing blood)
			Maria .....Maria I'm coming ...
			I'm coming!
				
	Lopez rolls over and empties his gun at the standing Policemen 
	striking him several times in the chest

					LOPEZ  (Cont.)
				(coughing blood)
			Maria .....Maria I'm coming ...
			I'm coming!.......
				
	The two nurses at the end of the hall are in shock. The
	door opens from ADON'S room and he steps into the hallway
	bends over Lopez and holds his hand over the chest wound.
	A glow emanates from his open palms and the wound quickly 
	heals, holding his hand over the forehead of Lopez his
	eyes open. Lopez wipes his face and gets on his feet.
	He looks around, runs down the hallway and out the front door.

					NURSE ONE
				(In shock)
			I don't believe what I saw, that
			young man healed the gun wounds
			in seconds!

					NURSE TWO
				(Also in shock)
			Who can he be with these special

	ADON looks around, opening the door to his room, 
	walks in and closes the door.

	Major Bond looks over his shoulder and sees an Air
	policeman come running to him.

					AIR POLICE  
			Major Ball, ADON BASHIER is
			missing!

					BOND 
			What do you mean missing?

					HUNTER 
			Well this was a wasted trip!

					WINSTON
				(looking out the window)
			Damn Navy I think I'll send one
			of my stealth fighters and drop
			some starburst bombs on his stupid
			golf course and see how he feels
			about that! He thinks he can do 
			whatever he wants! Shit for brains!
				(looking at Bond)
			What the fuck did that AP (Ape)

					HUNTER
			Your guest has disappeared?

					WINSTON 
			You know, it doesn't surprise me

			I went through there. I took a nice

	Bond and the nurse are standing there with their mouths open.

					BOND
				(looking at the Adon) 
			That's three stories down, did

			What the hells going on in here

			Sir this man says he left the room
			to visit the garden.
									
					BOND
			If he did, he had a magic carpet.
						
	Adon stares at Winston with a hard stare and 
	smiles and asks him a question.
	
					ADON 
			How long have you had the
			raised black mole on your

	The General gets up and walks out of the room.

					BALL

					BOND  
			Dr. Hunter what does he want?

			Dr. Hunter what did he say he
			would do if we don't release
			him? 

					HUNTER
			Adon said he will do nothing, but
			said his GUARDIAN ANGEL will free

			a patient last year who thought
			he was a re-incarnated Holy Man
			and I took him to our research
			Center and in six months he was

			Adon, let me take him to WOODVIEW.

					BALL	 
			Shit! Let him go General, let

	General Winston starts pacing the length of the conference room 
	floor and then stops and faces everyone.
	
					WINSTON
				(At his wits end)
			Ok, Dr. Hunter, I will place this
			man under your care and provide 
			transportation to where ever you
			want, but the window ends at
			daybreak. If he's still here
			I will drop him by parachute
			on the Admirals golf course at

			Well, what now Lonny?
						
	Colonel Bond looks at Ball then at Dr. Hunter.

					BOND  
			Dr. Hunter how soon can you

					HUNTER
			One hour, but I need street clothes

			signed release from the Executive 
			Officer releasing Adon in my care!

					BOND
			Done! Anything else?

					HUNTER        
			Flight plan the helicopter for the
