(Thunder rolling)

(Fire crackling)

(Woman sighs)

Now what are you gonna do?

Up to your old tricks, huh?

Well, you just watch this.

Check.

Never underestimate
the advantage of outliving

your opponent, my darling.

(Thunder crackling)

Hello, Catherine.

(Sighs heavily)

Why am I not afraid?

Because you know who I am.

Wait. Uh, can you give me
a minute?

Ive got something to do.

Sure. It happens all the time.

Well, the things that we leave
to the last minute.

I dont want to keep you,
but this...

This is important.

Or do you already know that?

Well, I pretty much work
on a need-to-know basis.

Well, somebody needs
to know about this.

This has just been sitting
in a suitcase

in Springfield? Since...?

Since 1947.

Cant let it sit here any more,

or itll just end up on eBay

with everything else
around here.

I had four children,

12 grandchildren,
16 great-grandchildren,

and only one of them
is worth a tinkers damn.

I dont, uh, suppose

that you could swing by the
post office for me, could you?

Sure.

(Clock ticking)

I better... sit down for this.

Gloria:

Ho

w long have you

been an angel?

About 6,000 years,

give or take a century.

Have you always been
a caseworker?

No, no, no.

I was in annunciations.

Then I was in the choir,
briefly,

and search and rescue.

The choir sounds nice,

but I dont even know
if I can sing.

"Learn to sing."

I also need to learn
rollerblading, get a cell phone,

and acquire
a thorough understanding

of human reproduction.

Gloria... you will
find as you go along

that god will give you
what you need to know

when you need it.

The talent to sing,
the skill of a surgeon,

the eye of a photographer.

Why, hes already given you
the-the mind of a...

Computer?

I have an unlimited capacity

to process and store data
and retrieve memory.

I mean, I-I can tell you
all the components

of that Rose over there, but...

But?

I cant tell you
why its beautiful.

Although, I did read
this morning that

a thing of beauty
is a joy forever.

Gloria, youve only been
an angel for six days.

You need to learn Patience.

I need
to learn everything.

Yes, you do, and Monica
and I have decided

that an angel in training
should have a solid background

of the classics.

You have a wonderful
21st century sort of mind,

but, well,
its hard to be a techno-angel

without some context in history.

History. Of course.
I need to learn the history

of the cell phone before
I start actually using one.

We were thinking of something
a little more historical.

We were thinking Genesis,
exodus, the ten commandments.

Ten? Is that all?

Look, theres Andrew.

Monica:

An

d you actually

Monica:

An

d you actually

saw it?

Andrew:
I wrapped it for her.

Then youd better mail it,

and, Monica, you just got
your assignment.

What about
the ten commandments?

Dont worry about it, baby.

Youll learn them.

You might even

see

them.

(Dove cooing)

So remember,
dont ask any questions.

Just sit there
and take the class,

and whatever you do... (Sighs)

I wish we had had more time.

Whatever you do, do not tell him
that youre an angel.

Nobodys supposed
to know were...

Uh-uh. See... it says in here.

There.

"For some have entertained
angels unaware."

You see?

Were the angels,
theyre unaware, okay?

-Okay.
-And another thing.

If you see me,
you dont know me.

I dont?

No. Not until we meet.

-Then I know you?
-Right.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Im going to college.

(Monica sighs)

Man:

A

hundred years ago,

man:

A

hundred years ago,

Las Vegas didnt exist,

400 years ago, New York couldnt
be found on a map,

but 3,000 years ago,

the, uh, Egyptian pyramids
were already ancient history.

Read the Bible, read the works
of herodotus and josephus,

and then read
the morning newspaper.

Uh, youll see
the same names, the same places,

even the same bloodshed going on

in the same Palestine,
the same Jerusalem,

the same river Jordan,
the same temple mount

where Solomon
built his temple

and where the ten commandments
may even be

buried in the ark
of the covenant.

Do you really think the lost ark
is still out there?

(Laughs)

(Man sighs)

The israelites actually carried
the ark with them

as they wandered
through the desert.

Uh, with Moses.

Right, and...

And it contained all kinds
of sacred objects,

including the, uh, uh, tablets
with the ten commandments

that Moses actually
brought down from mount sinai.

It ended up in solomons temple,

and then around 586 bc,
when the temple was destroyed,

the ark just disappeared.

Now, some say
it was taken to Ethiopia,

but most others still believe

that it is hidden underneath
the temple mount in Jerusalem,

and... oh, my goodness.

Im sorry.
Ive gone over.

Um, well get to the syllabus
next Friday.

Nice to meet you all.

If-if they think
its still there in Jerusalem,

why-why dont
they just go dig it up?

The ark? Well, the whole history
of Israel is

in that question--
who controls the temple mount?

The Jews? The muslims?

Hey, professor.

You got a minute?
Can I show you something?

Uh, office hours,
2:00 to 4:00, Paul.

-See you then.
-(Paul sighs)

Um, im sorry.
If you need to see me,

my office is in doolin hall,
room one, one, five,

hours 2:00 to 4:00.

Professor north,
my name is Monica.

Im from
the vandermeer institute.

Oh, oh, good.

Well, since I hardly know you,
either of you, really...

Ill just be going.

Ive, uh, been expecting you.

The institute
has every confidence

in your ability
to complete your book.

And thats why they sent you?

Well, they have made
a rather large Grant,

so they want some assurance
that your work

on the political ramifications

of material
archaeological evidence

of the temple mount
will be complete on schedule.

Its coming along nicely.

Good. I look forward to reading
what you have before I leave.

Oh, gosh, you know,
ID love that, but I-I really...

Ive got another class
to go to,

ive got student meetings,
then theres this

darn faculty
cocktail party thing.

At Dr. Hardwickes?

Well, im going, too,
so we can talk tonight.

Oh, good. Great.

Uh... ill see you then.

And then, this is waiting
for me when I got back.

I mean, she must have mailed it
the day she died.

Ive never seen it before,
but my grandfather--

he spent a lot of time in
the middle east in the 40s.

Must have brought it back then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, I dont know what it is,

but if its something important,
itd be nice to know.

Its aramaic, right?

Or is it Hebrew?

Its, um, aramaic.

Uh, well, I...
I really cant say right now.

Um, you know, probably somebody
soaked some paper in some tea

and passed it off
to your grandfather

as an ancient document.

It happened a lot, uh, before

they started cracking down
on that sort of thing.

Well, but it looks so old.

Why dont you leave it
with me for a bit?

Ill send a sample off
for carbon dating,

maybe try
and translate some of it.

It probably says, "welcome
to Tel Aviv" or something.

Well, okay, all right.

Um, thanks, professor.

(Crowd chatter and laughter)

Ah.

These look good.
Thank you.

-Youre welcome.
-Thanks.

Woman:

Shes here because

I

m the department

woman:

Shes here because

I

m the department

chairman,
I approved the matching funds,

and if she sees
that im not worried,

maybe she wont worry.

I did you a favor.

A favor?
She wants to see the book.

Well, if youd actually
written it

instead of blowing
all that Grant money in Israel

looking for the ark
of the covenant, Tommy,

this wouldnt be a problem.

Thomas: Is that my sister-in-law
talking, or my boss?

Im still trying to explain

where the universitys half
of that Grant went.

Honestly, I cant cover
for you any more.

Youre becoming
a laughingstock.

Not to mention,
if you dont publish something,

something legitimate,
youre not gonna get tenure.

I shouldve gotten tenure
a long time ago.

Well, how can you expect

the department
to take you seriously

with this lunatic
fringe archaeology

you insist on pursuing?

Its only lunatic
until I find it.

The ark of the covenant?

Ha.

Annabel, listen to me.

-I found something today.
-Not again.

No, you know

the third theory,
the one about Jeremiah

hiding the ark in the desert.

On mount nebo.

Its an obscure reference
in 2 maccabees.

Come on, Thomas, no historian
takes that book seriously.

Yes, but the author
of 2 maccabees

claimed to have other documents

that corroborated
his account, remember?

The memoirs of Nehemiah.

But nobodys ever found them.

They may not even exist.

What if I told you
that I had seen

a first century bc copy
of nehemiahs memoirs,

and they mention Jeremiah,

and mount nebo and the ark?

ID say you have something
worth writing a book about.

(Sighs)

But not enough to start

digging up a mountain range
looking for a box.

Well, its enough
to shift my focus

from Jerusalem to mount nebo.

Oh, for heavens sake.

Mount nebo is full of caves,
hundreds of them.

Youll be dead before
youve ever even explored

a tenth of whats there.

Tommy, I love you.

I know why this means
so much to you,

and everyone has to have
a dream, I know that.

You know what my dream is?

That you find some peace.

Not in Jerusalem,
not on mount nebo,

but here.

(Sighs)

Hi.

Gloria, why arent you
in the library?

Well, I, I heard there was
a history department party

and im studying history, so...

Yes, but this party

is for faculty,
its not for students.

Annabel:
Monica?

Ginger ale, right?

Thank you.

Oh, this is Gloria.

I-I believe shes a student

of yours, professor.

Yes, weve met.

Yeah, after we spoke
this morning,

I went to the library
and read the Bible.

(Thomas chuckles)

-What book?
-Well, the whole thing,

actually, but something

in Ezekiel struck me
in particular

regarding your interest

in the ark of the covenant.

I was admiring the egg
on the mantel.

Is it fabergé?

Gloria:
In Ezekiel, chapter ten,

he describes a vision
of the glory of god

on his throne in Jerusalem,

but he sees the glory leaving,
out the eastern gate,

through the mount of olives,
east into the desert.

Annabel:
But it was a vision, Gloria.

It was a dream he had.

It was possibly
a hallucination.

Yes, and he never
actually mentions the ark.

I love this ginger ale.

But the ark always
followed the glory of god,

and ive seen the glory of god.

Its hard to miss, really.

Youre saying
you believe Ezekiel?

What if gods glory
is code for the ark

hidden in a vision
that only a true believer

would take seriously?

Out the eastern gate,
through the mount of olives,

east into the desert
would put you...

Annabel:
Thomas, it looks like

youve found another convert.

Good luck this semester, Gloria.

Theres president Chandler.

Did I help him?

Yes, Gloria.

You did.

(Sighs)

Jerusalem, temple mount,

out the eastern gate,

through the mount of olives,

across the desert,

across the dead sea to...

Mount nebo.

I found it. I found it.

(Chuckles)

(Laughs)

I found it.

(Laughs)

Thomas:

So

, its genuine?

I didnt say that.

I said that it carbon dated
at 2,100 years old.

I read aramaic, professor.

I know what you think
you have there.

Is that right?

This scroll appears
to confirm the theory

that Jeremiah took

the ark of the covenant

and hid it in a cave
on mount nebo.

(Chuckles)

First of all,
nobody believes that theory.

And second, if they did,
theyd have to be nuts

to go digging around mount nebo

without some sort of map.

Well, what if someone did

figure out a map?

They might be crazy enough

to think they could
find that ark,

and that would be a shame.

No.

That would be the greatest

archaeological discovery

in the history of the world.

Oh, really?

What would be the greatest?

The fame it would
bring the finder,

or the war that would be
fought over it?

You see, professor, they keep

calling it the lost ark.

Its not lost.

Its hidden,

and theres a good reason
for it to stay hidden.

Its not a movie.

Its real.

And its holy.

How much do I owe you?

Its on the house.

But you think
about what ive said to you,

or you might find itll cost you

more than you can even imagine.

Carbon dating says its fake.

Its worthless.

Yeah.

Yeah, I figured.

Ah, so much for dreams
of glory, huh?

Well, it wasnt glory
I was after.

See, I was just hoping...

My grandmother
had all these grandchildren

and great-grandchildren,
and out of all of em,

she wanted me
to have this scroll.

You know, its funny.

Everyone always thought
that she was crazy,

and I was just hoping
that she wasnt,

because out of everyone
in the family,

she was the only one

that was just
a little bit like me.

Well, um...

Maybe thisll cheer you up.

Uh, how would you
like to be my t.A.?

Take over my class
for a couple weeks?

Me?

Theyre screaming for me

to finish this article,
and, uh...

Im going to Israel and,
uh, you can make some money.

Well, yeah, thatd be great.

Sure, thanks.

Good, ill set it up with
Dr. Hardwicke right away.

Annabel,

I need to talk to you,
all right?

Go ahead, ill catch up.

Annabel?

Uh, no.
Uh, dinner, tonight.

Yes, so, anyway,
you were saying?

So hes going after the ark.

It looks like it.

I tried to stop him.

-Maybe we should tie him up.
-Oh, thats

a wonderful idea.

And then well hit him
in the head with a frying pan.

That seems excessive.

Annabel:

Yo

u dont even know

-if this document is real.
-Oh, its real.

The carbon dating proves it,

and nobody else knows
but you and me.

What about the student
who brought it in?

I told him it was a fake.

I cant have
anyone else involved.

You-you lied to him?

Thomas.

You know what this means to me.

She was my wife, Annabel.

And she was my sister, Tommy.

Youre not honoring her
by lying and stealing.

And the answer is no.

You cant stop me.

I can take two weeks off any
time I want during the semester.

But I dont have
to cover for you,

and this isnt going to look
good to the tenure committee.

It will if I come back
with the ark.

After years of searching, you
think you can go back to Israel

and find the ark of the covenant
in two weeks?

Yes.

Ive got a way now
to narrow down the search

-to two, three caves tops.
-You know

what its like
over there right now.

You could get killed.

So what?

Youre crazy.

And even if youre not crazy,

youre broke.

Youve already sold your car

and everything else of any value

to pay for your other
wild-goose chases.

Ill get the money.

I have to do this, Annabel.

You really are out of your mind.

-(Phone ringing)
-Hold on.

Annabel:
Hello?

Oh, yes, im... im so sorry...

Why should the institute
spend another dime

to send you to Israel?

Im not asking for anything.

I rustled up
some money on my own.

Im going.

Mount nebo is in Jordan,

and you cannot get
from Jerusalem to Jordan

-with the...
-I still have my credentials

from my last visit.

Credentials

that verify you as a scholar

working for the vandermeer
institute of archaeology.

The institute paid
for those credentials,

and I have the right to ask

that they be
returned immediately.

But youre not going to.

No.

Youre a desperate man

and youll use
desperate measures

to get what you want.

So you can keep the credentials,

under one condition.

Whats that?

That I go with you.

You need an expedition party.

You cant afford it.

Ill set it up.

Well use my contacts,
and any additional costs

will be picked up
by the institute,

with the understanding
that regardless

of what you find or dont find,

youll return
to the university in two weeks.

(Thomas chuckles)

Yes.

Okay.

Lets do it.

Its nice to have you back
so soon, professor north.

Its great to be back, Ben.

There was a gentleman
asking for you.

-Hmm?
-Oh, there he is.

-Thank you.
-Uh-huh.

Thank you.

I need to take coordinates
from the temple mount

and the mount of olives,
so ill need GPS capability.

Thats already on the Jeep.

So well, uh, cross Jordan
on the allenby bridge,

set up base camp
in the valley of peor,

up mount nebo,
to the top of pisgah.

And ive got the permits,

but theyre only gonna be good
for five days-- short notice.

Well, well do the best we can.

Uh, one other thing.

I need a gun.

No guns.

Fine.

Theyre right here.

Thank you.

I-I just want you to know
how much it means to me

to be on this expedition,
and that youve taken

my Ezekiel theory so seriously.

But... upon further reflection,

im beginning to think
that finding the ark

is not such a good idea.

I mean, isnt there
something else you could do

to become
a famous archaeologist?

You have no idea

I dont want to do it,

Well, death means little to me.

But becoming a murderer

Remember...
I tried to warn you.

Thomas: The deserts full

Thats why I had to get a gun.

Gloria: Oh!

What was that?

They used to be

You better wait here, Gloria.

Stay with this man

Still tracking.

Yes.

Andrew, theres
three different ways to go.

I dont suppose
you have any tape?

Tape? No, I cant say that I do.

I havent been off this mountain

-It must get very lonely.
-That I dont mind,

Tell me, whats been

Oh.

Well, I... I dont really know

Shes also an angel.

And then I met Madeline,

She was just a...
A little girl who was my friend

And then... we saw Andrew

into this building...

And then...

The building blew up.

And then we found Madeline...

And she was hurt.

Thomas:

Well,

we

re going on day two.

Were gonna have to start
rationing our food and water.

Sorry, Monica,

but I didnt think
it would take this long.

Would it have made
any difference?

You seem determined to find it,
no matter what.

(Thomas sighs)

Five years ago I was
on a survey in Jerusalem.

We were mapping out
the herodian palace,

but as usual,
I was off researching the ark.

Laura, my wife...
Was five months pregnant.

I should have been
back in the states with her,

but I wasnt.

So she decided...
To come and visit me.

She was killed in a taxi

that crashed
on the way to the airport.

Oh... im so sorry.

We were kids together, and...

When

raiders of the lost ark
came out, she went with me

to see it four times,
and when I told her

that I wanted
to be an archaeologist

and that I wanted
to find the ark for real,

she said she didnt care if we
lived in the past or the future,

as long as we lived it together.

She wouldve never
been in that car...

If I hadnt been here,

so damn determined
to make a name for myself.

Thomas, finding the ark
wont bring your family back.

She believed in me.

She believed in
what I was trying to do.

If I dont find it,
then what did she die for?

I understand
why its so important to you,

but youre searching

for the ark of the covenant,

the real ark that contains
the real ten commandments,

and who knows how many you have
broken just coming this far.

(Chuckles): You sound
as if you actually believe

that god put the commandments
down on a mountaintop.

I do.

(Thomas grunts)

Look, Monica,
theres the spot.

Its narrow, but...
But I think we can fit.

(Grunts)
All right,

leave everything.

Monica, hurry. Get in here!

Monica, quick.

Hold the light. Hold the light.

See it? Huh? Look. Look.

You see that?

Look. Look.

"You are standing on...

Holy ground."

Monica, were here.

"Youre standing
on holy ground."

Look, theres more.

"Jeremiah." over here.

Over here.

"The law."

"Yahweh."

Monica, this is it.

This is it.

Its a man-made wall.

This rock around it
looks like its ready to go.

(Rock crumbles)

Look.

-Thomas, we should think
about this before... -Think?

Think about what?
This is what we came for.

-You came to find peace.
-(Pickax striking)

You wont find it
violating a holy place.

This isnt a holy place.
This is a cave.

Wouldnt it be somethin if we
were under Jerusalem after all?

Gloria: There are just
so many things to do,

a-and I know angels are
supposed to live an eternity,

but an eternity
doesnt seem long enough.

I mean, look at this list
of things I have to do already.

Rollerblading, cell phones.

Well, youve got plenty of time
for all these things, but if you

could learn to sing,
it might come in handy today.

Wheres Tess?

(Soft clicking)

(Chuckles)

(Gloria chuckles)

(Grunting)

(Thomas panting)

You.

Stop where you are,
Thomas Edward north.

Who are you?

I am Micah,
an angel of the most high god.

The god of Abraham
and of Isaac and of Jacob.

The god of Moses, who placed

the tablets of the law
in this ark,

which I protect.

Thomas:
Monica, are you seeing this?

Monica?

Be not afraid, Thomas.

You are in the presence
of angels.

-What?
-Andrew: Youve been surrounded

by angels all along the way.

Tess: We tried to discourage you
from coming this far,

because anyone who stands
in this holy place

bears a heavy burden
for the rest of their lives,

but you are here,

and were here to help you heal

and to understand
what youre about to see.

-Its tr-true?
-Micah: Yes, it is

the ark of the covenant
that sits behind this veil.

It contains the tablets
of the ten commandments,

the staff of Aaron

and a jar of the manna
that god provided

for his children
in the wilderness.

It is where the presence
of god came to rest,

to comfort his lost children.

And god promises
that one day the ark

will be restored to the temple,
and his presence

will again descend unto the ark.

Until that time, his people

will continue to wander,

and his presence will come
to rest in the only

kind of ark that can rise
and follow him now.

In the hearts of his people

and in your heart, Thomas.

That is where god
will come to rest

if you will make
a place for him.

That is where you will
find peace.

Why should I find god

after what he did to Laura,
after what he did to me?

Humble yourself in the sight
of your god, Thomas.

Hes not my god. Hes your god,

and you can have him.

Just let me see that.

I hate you.

I hate you.

Oh, god, I hate you!

Show me who you are!

What do you want from me?!

(Thomas sobbing)

Monica:
Thomas, stand up.

Please, stand up.

With the very commandments that
are hidden in this room, Thomas,

god has shown you
what is good and right.

And what does he ask of you?

To do justice.

To love mercy.

To walk humbly with your god.

To love him.

To wait patiently for him
to work in your life

and to trust
that the peace of god

that passes all understanding
will be yours

by his love and his mercy.

You may never understand
why your precious Laura

was taken from you...

...but from this moment on

you will always know
that she lives now with the one

who loves, the one who is love

and who loves you so much
that he has allowed you

to be present in this moment.

Thomas:
I... can feel him.

Shes with him, too, isnt she?

Yes.

(Wings flapping, dove coos)

(Dove coos)

Remember your heart is an ark,

and when the presence
of god rises from its rest,

what does an ark do?

Follow.

(Exhales)

Im not here to ask for tenure.

I dont expect it.

I dont even expect
to have my job.

I have lied and cheated
and stolen from you

and from my students and...

Even from my family

to accomplish a dream

that some would call frivolous
or lunatic or fanatic.

And I know that if I told you

that I did find something

in that cave, something better
than the ark...

...that I found god,

that I found peace...

...it would be met with cynicism

and ridicule, but it is true.

And it is a heavy burden to bear
because once you know the truth,

you are responsible for it.

I see now what I was

and what I must become...

...and all I ask of you
is your forgiveness

and your good wishes,

and I will be on my way.

Paul! Hey.

Hey, professor north.
Welcome back. Howd it go?

Fine. Just fine.

Uh, you want to get
a cup of coffee?

Ive got somethin to tell you
about your grandmother.

Yeah, sure.

It was a rough start
but a great finish, Gloria.

Were really proud of you.

-So what do we do now?
-(Dove coos)

What do you think?

(Dove coos)

We follow?

We follow.
