Crystal Skulls (TV Movie) (Crystal Skulls)

There it is.

What we know is that last night,

here at the National Museum in Washington D.C.,

an artifact known as one of the infamous crystal skulls

was stolen.

This is apparently not the first crystal skull to be taken

and, according to the museum's director,

there have been at least six skulls in the past two years

from museums and collections from across the globe

that have disappeared under nefarious circumstances.

For CNB News this is Joshua O'Dell.

Senor.

Salut.

I assume it's authentic.

Without a doubt.

You see, my employer would be very disappointed

if it turned out to be a forgery.

How did you obtain the artifact?

Given the nature of my business,

you can understand why I cannot reveal such details.

There are strict regulations about the transport

and sale of such antiquities.

Again, my employer would be very-

Your employer either wants what I have to offer or he does not.

In which case, I have other buyers to meet.

You didn't travel 200 miles up into the Andes

if you had other buyers.

Then we are ready to do business? Yes?

When you contacted our representative,

your message included a certain purchase price.

And I believe the amount was more than fair.

As does my employer.

Do you have the item with you?

I'm not a fool, Mr. Mitchell.

But it is close by.

Do you have the money?

I'm not a fool either.

Follow me.

You going to count it?

That will not be necessary.

Then, my friend,

we're finished here.

What you have feared has come true.

And what have I feared?

He's gathering the skulls.

He understands that together they have power.

Who?

The rich man.

The infidel, Hadden.

He's an old man,

a foolish man who is driven by dreams of power

derived from the skulls.

He is a dangerous man, you understand?

Yes, I understand, but the real danger is that

without the thirteenth skull

there will be no way to control them.

The other twelve could become unstable

and cause massive destruction.

This is why the brotherhood has given you a task.

There will be bloodshed.

Are you asking me for my approval or my opinion?

I don't need your approval.

Then my opinion is that there is no need for violence,

he just needs to be stopped.

You're a fool to believe a rich man can be stopped

without bloodshed.

I understand you have a mission and I wish you good luck,

but don't let your anger poison you, Hussein.

Check all your equipment.

You sure we have enough rope?

You sure there's something down there?

I wouldn't be doing this

if I didn't think there was something down there.

You know how I feel about heights, Terry.

Don't worry about it.

Have I ever let you down?

Three, four times, tops.

Climbing is my business.

You're just gonna have to suck it up.

Look at that, bro.

Go easy...

...over the lip.

Whooo!

Go steady, bro.

Look at that!

Yeah.

Holy cow.

It was here.

Yeah? How can you be so sure?

This is the last place in his notebook that he visited.

After living with his obsession with the thirteenth skull

For all these years,

we're finally going to find it.

After you.

You're the archaeologist.

Well, you're the adventurer.

The wife would argue with that.

She says I'm a glorified tour guide.

So guide.

Ok, brother.

There's no GPS down here so I'm working off old maps.

It's down this cave another couple hundred meters.

You sure dad was here?

He describes this tunnel.

For all we know,

what's left of him is lying around down here somewhere.

We owe it to him to find whatever it was he was after.

You ready for that?

I'm ready for that.

You ready for that?

I guess so.

We'll be alright.

If you say so, brother.

After you.

Is everything ready?

Yes, they've been awaiting your arrival.

Any problems?

Me? No.

Bloke I got this from might have a different opinion.

Why's that?

I don't think you want to know that, Ms. Mallory.

The lab has been built eight levels underground.

You expecting trouble?

Let's hope not.

Watch yourself.

This way.

Watch your feet.

HEY,

looks like we found something.

We did, didn't we?

After you.

Age before beauty.

Is that him?

You didn't think he'd miss this moment, do you?

Mr. Hadden?

Mr. Mitchell.

Bravo .

Thank you, sir.

I don't know how much time I may have left,

so let's not waste any more of it.

Is that normal?

Well, as far as we're aware,

this is the first time the skulls have been reunited

in the history of mankind.

What's happening?

There's sonic vibration at sixteen hertz.

I feel a little sick.

I don't know how they're doing it,

but these things are generating their own magnetic field.

That's not possible.

Tell them that.

What's it say?

Thursday night is ladies night.

All women will be admitted, no cover.

All drinks two shackles.

What?

I have no idea.

But they're in dad's book.

Twelve distinct symbols.

How can you know that, smart guy

if you don't even know what they say.

Well, I don't need to be able to translate them

in order to know that is Acadian,

this is Egyptian,

those over here I don't really recognize.

This, this looks pre-Colombian.

Most likely Mayan.

South American?

What the hell's it doing here?

Exactly.

Pre-Babylonian, Sumerian, we've got Egyptian, possibly Mayan.

My guess is it's twelve different groups

representing a different early civilization.

So what's the thirteenth for?

I mean, you've got twelve sets of symbols,

twelve ancient civilizations, twelve skulls.

If there really is a thirteenth skull,

what's that about?

That, my friend, is a good question.

I really have no idea at this point,

but I'm sure I'm gonna find out.

I think I'm gonna puke!

Yeah, it's the frequency.

Certain modulations cause nausea.

At seven hertz, it can cause your body to come apart

at a nuclear level.

Is off the scale!

We're gonna lose it. Clear the room.

Clear the room!

Get them out of there!

We've tried to activate the shut-down-

Just do what I tell you!

Whoa.

Whafd you touch?

Nothing! I didn't do anything!

I told you not to touch anything!

Wow.

Code Level Red

Colonel, the pulse has dissipated.

Do we have any reports of a nuclear detonation?
