40,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age,
temperatures climbed and climbed in the Los Angeles basin,
giving rise to new species of plants and animals.
New predators attacked new prey.
But something else rose as the heat swelled.
A hot, sticky and seemingly endless seepage from the ground.
Tar. (TAR BUBBLES)
As decades passed, the tar pit grew and grew.
The animals came but never left.
Slowly sucked into the steaming hot tar.
Thousands of years later,
early Native Americans settled in the area.
Villagers nearby used the tar as sealant for canoes,
baskets and huts.
On one occasion, the villagers were having a celebration,
but in the morning,
three of the tribesmen who had ventured off were found dead,
covered and suffocated by the black substance.
After this incident, no one was permitted
to go near the pit in the night.
They called it Matchi-Manitou,
the evil spirit.
During the 20th century, a sprawling urban metropolis
buried the tar pit deep below its concrete surfaces.
Only a small open pit remained, allowing excavators
to sift through the trove of ancient skeletons.
Many new species were discovered, but one,
the elusive Matchi-Manitou, was never found.
And the urban metropolis is the street
you find yourself standing on right here today.
Right here on the streets of Los Angeles.

40,000 years ago-
- You really still believe this shit?
I'm not saying that I believe it,
but I don't not believe it.
Your dad always talks about it.
Yeah, my dad would always say, "don't go in the tar pits"
as a kid, but you know why?
'Cause it's bad, it's gross, it's sticky.
It gets on your foot.
You're such a pussy.

Come on, man! You've known her for years, she trusts you.
FRIEND: I love you like a brother

BEN: Whatever, man.
Oh, hey, hey, hey!
- Come here, come here. - What's up?
So, I'm sitting here packing,
getting everything ready to go,
and then something told me "stop everything that you're
doing and open the book" and I did, right to this page.
"On October 18th, an Aquarius new moon," this is you,
"lights up your eighth house of intimacy and shared wealth.
This is the second consecutive new moon in Aquarius."
The first was on, get this, September 20th.
Just like I said!
Last week.
I am going to miss this so much.
I know.
Is my dad in?
♪ What'll it be now ♪
- Dad? - Mm?
I need the keys for the workshop downstairs.
Please?
Isn't the please implied?
So it's gonna be one of those days, is it?
What makes you think because it's the last day here
that it'll be any different than any other day?
Okay.

Come on.
You're stubborn, just like your mother.
(KEYS CLINK)
No, I'm stubborn just like you, Dad.
Yeah, well, sorry for giving you a livelihood.
Yeah, you gave me a livelihood. It just wasn't so lively.
Putting computers back together, rebuilding laptops,
typewriters every so often.
Tell me all about all the offers
that you got after getting your degree.
Tell me again, enlighten me. Just for once.
Sure, yeah, I'll enlighten you that
I could use a little encouragement from my father.
Is that what this is all about, huh?
Is there some sort of resentment?
No.
Let me tell you something, Zachary.
I never resented my dad, who worked his ass off, by the way,
giving me all the advantages and privileges that I received.
I know.
I never, ever resented your mother.
Now you're bringing Mom into this?

You?
I'm gonna open up my own shop.
Gonna have candles and cards and stuff in the front
and people to do tarot and read palms in the back.
You know, you've never done one of those
weird handjob things on me.
Really? I've given everybody in this office a handjob.
Let's see.
Oh, wow.
It looks like you're in for a really unhappy ending.

You and your magical psychic mind-reading abilities

No, Sebastian.
With this deadline that you're imposing,
no, I don't think the word amicable comes to mind.
Right, the whole two-week eviction notice,
I mean, that was a tad harsh, and you gotta get out.
You know, but according to the terms of the lease-
- Yeah, the lease that was written 65 years ago.
It's a bit dated, but you know, I've got lawyers, Barry.
You know, Sebastian, back then,
they didn't need lawyers.

What do you have to do by six a.m.? Uh, everything.
Everything must go. Everything outta here, okay?
The boxes, the schmudtas, the mopey old men.
Oh, you mean my dad?
Your dad needs to get outta here.
The typewriter, gone. The walls, the walls are filthy.
Look, there is schmutz all over these walls.
They need to be cleaned, carpets need to be shampooed.
Paint needs to be repainted, and the bathroom.
Can we talk about the bathroom for a second?
I need it to smell (SNIFFS) pristine,

Yes.

Look, I know it's been a rough day for you and your dad.
Yeah, what day is it?
Come on, Zach, you can't get away with those
throwaway "woe is me" lines anymore.
Yeah.
But you know what, Rose? It's more than that.
We never see eye to eye.
I'll be up and he'll be down.

Did you hear the way she said "anal" to me?
- Here you go. - Oh!
You didn't have to do that. I could've done that.
Oh, it's totally fine. Don't worry about it.
I'm almost done packing the back office.
I'll make sure that it's packed tightly.
- You really are the best. - You really mean that?
Of course I do.
As soon as we move and I hire new people,
I'm bumping you up.

(SIGN BUZZES)
Motherfucking subway!
Guess we can't do any more work.
Hopefully the power comes back on soon.
Or not. Remember, what was that, two weeks ago?
It didn't come on for like 45 minutes.
What if it doesn't come on again?
You know what? Screw it, maybe we should just go.
Yeah, so let's all go have a drink,
because Zach here's gonna front the 100 grand.
Come on, I was just saying, you know, even Sebastian.
He probably wouldn't want us to move in the dark.
(CHUCKLES) Yes, he will.
I'm afraid we have no choice, okay?
But someone's gonna get hurt.
I don't want Marigold to move in the dark.
Or Ben, I don't want him to move in the light.
It was my grandfather, it was your great-grandfather,
he kinda had to leave Europe in a hurry.
He was a stowaway in the belly of a cargo ship.
Two weeks on the Atlantic, pitch black.
Hey, hey.
So now you are afraid to lift a few boxes
in the dark, is that right?
Is that how I raised you?
You're right, but you also didn't raise me
with an extra 100 grand to spare, Dad.
Really?
Is that the way we really want to spend our last night here?
Arguing with all this negativity?
Let's just turn around, be a little positive,
and do what we have to do.
And I can help you with whatever you need.
I know.
Ben.
Sorry for talking back, we'll go pack.
It's okay. That's my boy.

BEN: (SIGHS) I need to take five.
Why?
BEN: Exhaustion.
Really?
(SIGHS) I'm not gonna sit here and do this by myself.
(SIGHS)
Ah, fuck it.
I didn't say anything earlier because you were kinda being
a douche when we were moving the desk, but I won two tickets
to the zoo in the Ralph's Grocery Store drawing.
And I know that you like the meerkats.
I love those meerkats.
Anyway, they're only valid
the first Tuesday of every month.
I'm gonna go Tuesday after next.
Wait, did you see that?
(MARIGOLD CHUCKLES)

No, we were in our reception area.
Maybe it's the girl that works with you, that Carmen girl.
Carmenia?
No, she's in the back, packing.
If it wasn't us and it wasn't you
then what the hell was it?
Girls, girls. Come here, come here.
Listen, I know it's scary.
Don't worry, I've got this all under con...

Yeah, it's like a bulldozer or something,
but come hang out in reception with us.
(TAR SQUELCHES) (OMINOUS MUSIC)

What the fuck was that?
It felt like the building burped.
DIANA: It was probably just the subway construction.
What happened to that light?
Dude, relax.
You relax! Remember before it was darker?
And then now it's flickering and-
- When did you become such a crazy drama queen?
You're a drama queen! Everyone here needs to calm down!
Everybody just calm down.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Yeah, no. I know.
Everything's fine. Everyone's cool, I'm cool.
I'm on top of this.
No offense, babe, but you don't really seem
like the kind of guy who's on top of anything.
She has a point.
When I look like actually into your soul,
I don't see a guy who's on top of things.
I just see a giant vagina.
- (DIANA CHUCKLES) - That's uncalled for.
I can handle this. Wait, can you keep doing that?
I mean, if you want.
How about when you do something manly,
then I'll keep rubbing your back?
Okay, how about this?
I save your life, you make out with me.
I think you have a better shot with the zoo animals.
Like oo-oo, ah-ah.
Seriously, I think that's a fair exchange.
Your life for...
Your tongue in my mouth.
Statistically speaking, I feel like there's
a higher chance of me getting struck by lightning
and winning the lottery in the same day, than you actually
stepping up to the plate and saving anyone, so...
Why not?
Shake on it?

But isn't it the subway or it was-
- No, no, no. Listen.
I will explain everything in a moment.
Right now we just all have to work together.
But we are working together.
Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.
Let's go.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (TAR SQUELCHES)
Yo, I saw something.
I saw a shadow, there is someone or something out there.
I don't know what it is.
Come on, guys, it's probably just the subway.
At this point it doesn't even matter what it was, okay?
We all heard what that guy Sebastian said.
We've really gotta start moving.
I'll tell you exactly what it is about Sebastian.
He's a dick. That's all you need to know.
It doesn't matter. Rules are still rules.
You know what? I hate rules.
Yeah, I know. I'm aware.
Zach, it's kinda key that you follow a few right now.
Why?
Because we all have to work together, that's why.
No more distractions.
We didn't do anything.
Now, we're not gonna get anything accomplished,
unless we have a plan.
Why does it always have to be your plan, Dad?
I have a plan, okay?
We're gonna take the flashlights that you brought us,
we pack and we get outta here.
There you go, that's the plan. Thank you.
(BEN CLAPS)
- Zach? - What?
Would you just come out in the other room with me?
Why?
Because I need to tell you something.
Everybody else, just chill. We'll be right back.
Zach, would you come with me?
No.
(BARRY SIGHS)
Sit down.
What now, Dad?
What?
First off, I want you to calm down.
Listen, there's something I wanna tell you.
I gotta figure this out just in case it's something else.
Something else?
Yeah, there's just something else I gotta check out,
but what I need you to do is I need you to stay in the room
and keep everything in order, okay?
Can you do that for me? Can you do that for your mother?
I've been doing this for Mom for 10 years, Dad.
Ever since the day she...
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Do you, listen, do you remember...
It was a little league semi-final game,
and you were really frustrated with me.
The game where you were mouthing off
and the ump almost kicked you out of the game?
Yeah. Yeah, I was, but you're my son.
- You won the game. - Yeah.
- You went to the finals. - Yeah.
Once again, you're upset. You don't wanna play.
But you pulled it together.
You said "I'm gonna do this for the team."
Right?
You.
You did for the team.
Yeah.
So you come out the dugout, you had confidence, man.
You step into the box and you dig in.
First pitch.
Boom!
- It was a great moment. - Great moment.
This is another one of those moments.
Now I really need you to stay here.
Don't let anybody leave, can you do that?
Okay.
Yeah, that a boy.
Yeah.

BEN: Boom! War!
Yes!
What about you? Do you have a guy?
I'm married to my work. (CHUCKLES)
You don't think that there's like
a Mr. Right out there for you?
You see these?
It's kinda hard not to. (CHUCKLES)
They're a blessing and a curse at the same time.
Sometimes I feel like they can
stop people from seeing the real me.
Boom! War!
- Deal it. - You deal it.
(THUD)
(PHONE VIBRATES)
(SIGHS) Fuck.
Oh, shit!
(STORYTELLER CHUCKLES)
He's not answering.
Don't worry, Rose. He's probably just dropping a deuce.
Doesn't want you to know about it.
That's disgusting.
(EERIE MUSIC)
So?
Why are you doing all this?
- Doing what? - This!
There's black tarry stuff on the ground,
you've been making all those noises, the power's out.
Why are you doing all this, huh?
Oh, no, boy.
I wish it was me doing it, but it ain't.
No, no. It most definitely ain't.
Well, if it ain't you, then why are you here?
Well, the sidewalk gets cold.
Man's gotta stay warm at night.
Wait, these are mine.
I looked for these for two weeks a year ago.
And a most enjoyable year it was.
Much appreciated.
Oh, you want me to fluff your pillow too?
(STORYTELLER CHUCKLES)
Yeah.
What is all this shit anyway?
(EERIE MUSIC)
You see this?
This is the truth.
This is what's going on out there.
I always thought Papa's bedtime stories were just that.
Just stories.
But...
There's clues.
'Cause he'd always say that
in every story there's a kernel of truth.
(STORYTELLER LAUGHS)
Shh.
You're mad. You know that, right?
Well, you can call me what you will, but I've seen it.
Seen what?
I'm gonna call 911.
Yeah, I know, it's a good idea.
(PHONE RINGS)
(PHONE BLEEPS)
Oh, shit. My phone just died.
(SIGHS) Does anybody have a phone?
We need to call the cops.
Yeah, I think mine's in my office.
Do you wanna come with me to get it?
- Yes. - Okay.
No!
You guys, I thought we agreed
that we were just gonna stay here?
Okay, well, do you have a phone?
Me and modern technology don't really mix, you know?
Ladies.
Especially Diana.
This is for you.
(DRAMATIC ROCK MUSIC)
I was just like you, 30 years ago.
You're nothing like me. What're you talking about?
I was just a young assistant archeologist
with my brother down there at the tar pits of La Brea.
But then I saw things.
(SCREAMING)
Things that people don't wanna see.
When it was disturbed under the ground, it would come up.
And what comes up?
Man of the tar.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(PHONE TAPS)
This works almost every time.
(BLOWS)
(PHONE TAPS)
Oh, my god!
What's the matter with you? (DIANA CHUCKLES)
I was going places, boy. I'm not crazy like you think.
(CHUCKLES)
(TAR BUBBLES)
(ELEPHANT TRUMPETS)
(SCREAMING)
Sometimes things ain't what they seem.
Down there at the tar pits of La Brea.
I told them the truth.
I did!
But sometimes people don't wanna hear the truth.
So they gave me a label.
They called me schizophrenic.
Whoa, whoa. (CHUCKLES)
No, they didn't believe me.
The deaths of all those people 30 years ago.
(SCREAMING) (CREATURE SNARLS)
Ever since then, I had to be a man of the street. (CHUCKLES)
A man of this great office. (CHUCKLES)
Could I just ask you one thing?
Have you seen my dad?
You're Barry Greenwood's boy?
But you're such a pussy.
So you tap that button as fast as you can
and as hard as you can and I'll hold the top button really
really hard while I drag my knuckles across the screen.
Right, go.
Just breathe.
Breathe.
He just always does this, it drives me crazy.
What's your name anyway?
After all these years, boy,
you finally wanna know my name?
The name's Carl.
O'Neil.
The third.
But folks round here just call me Carl.
Carl.
(CARL CHUCKLES)
Okay, remember before, I was talking about my dad?
Have you seen him?
I thought I saw him back there for a brief little moment.
You did? Okay.
Here's what we have to do.
We gotta work together to beat the man of the tar
and find Mr. Barry Greenwood.
Okay.
Whatever it takes, I'll buy it.
What do we do?
When noise disturbs the world
where the creature of the tar rests, he becomes uneasy.
And when man builds down,
he disrupts the world where he lives.
And his only recourse is to stop that disruption,
and he used his world to destroy.
You see, he's friends with the tar.
Friends with the tar? How are you friends with tar?
And every time he's disturbed, his unrest becomes greater.
Okay, let's say I believe you.
Oh, believe.
- So, what do we do? - It's light.
It's his eyes, young Greenwood, he can't have the light.
See, his eyes are his worst enemy.
At least the one he has left.
He only has one eye?
Light and silence.
Light and silence?
That's the answer.
Okay.
So what do we do?
Well, I... (GROANS) (ZACH GROANS)
(EERIE MUSIC) (MUFFLED GROWLS)
(MUFFLED CLUNKS)
I'm gonna go find Zach.
Wait, Rose.
(MUFFLED SNARLS)

Zach?
If you can hear me, say something back.
(DARK ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
- Zach, where are you? - Shut the...
Shh, shh, shh.
Zach?
Zach, please say something.
Zach?
Zach, you need to answer me.
Zach, stop being stubborn for once in your life and...
The power's gonna come back on soon.
That bad premonition that I have?
It's gone.
Certainly somebody's gotta call the cops, right?
This is the only time ever I want the cops to come.
I'm not just saying this because of the cards,
I truly think that everything's gonna be all right.
(MUFFLED YELPS) (TAR MAN SNARLS)
(FOOTSTEPS SQUELCH)

Right, it's gone, it's gone.

(BEN SIGHS)
Think it's finally toast.
We are so sorry for your loss.
Rest in peace, phone.
You were so good to me.
You've been so good to me you make me wanna shout?
Kick my heels up and shout?
(SIGHS) Throw my hands up and shout.
No.

I am really not into being shushed from you right now.
I'm sorry, okay?
It's just that there's...
What?
Can we talk about this later?
Why can't you just tell me?
You're a lot more like your dad than you think.
Oh, come on.
No. God, just stay here.
What is out there?
Okay, there's a really, really bad guy out there.

That was the end of it.
No, are you out of your mind? Sit down!

Story of the man of the tar.
Some say he still lives in the tar.
Under the streets that were once filled
with the hustle and bustle of trollies.
The man of the tar not long ago attacked a family.
(COIN CLINKS)
So many died.
I should know.
My brother was one of them.
As for the fate of Matchi-Manitou, the creature of the tar,
no one knows.
He may be gone, or he may be waiting.
Waiting to be awoken.
Awoken once again.
Awoken by the streets you find yourself
standing on right here, today.
The streets of Los Angeles.
