00:01:17,865 --> 00:01:18,953
Cheers.

00:01:55,729 --> 00:01:58,035
<i>The earliest
documented instance</i>

3
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:00,386
<i>of an animal speaking
like a human</i>

4
00:02:00,516 --> 00:02:02,388
<i>was in the 5th century BC,</i>

5
00:02:02,518 --> 00:02:05,695
<i>by the Greek physician Ctesias,
who wrote,</i>

6
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:07,480
<i>"In my travels to India,</i>

7
00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:10,526
<i>I encountered a parrot
about as large as a hawk,</i>

8
00:02:10,657 --> 00:02:14,008
<i>with a human tongue and voice,
a dark red beak, a black beard,</i>

9
00:02:14,139 --> 00:02:17,664
<i>and blue feathers up to a neck,
which is red like cinnabar.</i>

10
00:02:17,794 --> 00:02:19,535
<i>It speaks Indian like a native</i>

11
00:02:19,666 --> 00:02:22,103
<i>and if taught Greek,
speaks Greek."</i>

12
00:02:26,151 --> 00:02:30,329
<i>In 1962, a budgerigar
named Sparkie Williams</i>

13
00:02:30,459 --> 00:02:33,332
<i>held the world record
for the largest vocabulary</i>

14
00:02:33,462 --> 00:02:34,594
<i>of a talking bird.</i>

15
00:02:34,724 --> 00:02:35,986
Stupid bastard.

16
00:02:36,117 --> 00:02:37,336
<i>At the time of his death,</i>

17
00:02:37,466 --> 00:02:39,729
<i>he knew 531 words.</i>

18
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:44,212
Stupid bastard. Silly bugger.
Stupid bastard.

19
00:02:44,343 --> 00:02:45,822
Like I told you,

20
00:02:45,953 --> 00:02:48,477
he is a very, very,
very good boy.

21
00:02:48,956 --> 00:02:50,349
That's not important right now.

22
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,830
<i>In 1995,
a budgerigar named Park</i>

23
00:02:53,961 --> 00:02:56,616
<i>was credited by Guinness's</i>
Book of World Records

24
00:02:56,746 --> 00:03:00,228
<i>as having the largest
vocabulary of any bird.</i>

25
00:03:00,359 --> 00:03:03,753
Never shake a baby bird,
that would surely be absurd.

26
00:03:04,928 --> 00:03:05,929
<i>Konnichiwa!</i>

27
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:07,104
<i>While the budgerigar</i>

28
00:03:07,235 --> 00:03:09,237
<i>can be taught the most words,</i>

29
00:03:09,368 --> 00:03:12,153
<i>it is believed by many
that the hill myna</i>

30
00:03:12,284 --> 00:03:15,765
<i>sounds most similar
to a human when it speaks.</i>

31
00:03:15,896 --> 00:03:17,637
Hello, how are you?

32
00:03:20,074 --> 00:03:21,641
Hello, how are you?

33
00:03:23,077 --> 00:03:24,600
<i>Crows are considered</i>

34
00:03:24,731 --> 00:03:27,560
<i>some of the most intelligent
animals on Earth.</i>

35
00:03:27,690 --> 00:03:29,126
Come on.

36
00:03:29,257 --> 00:03:31,259
<i>And they can learn,
in some cases,</i>

37
00:03:31,390 --> 00:03:33,957
<i>to mimic human speech
and laughter.</i>

38
00:03:34,088 --> 00:03:35,698
What a good boy.

39
00:03:35,829 --> 00:03:37,134
<i>And while most often</i>

40
00:03:37,265 --> 00:03:38,527
<i>when one thinks of an animal</i>

41
00:03:38,658 --> 00:03:39,963
<i>speaking like a human...</i>

42
00:03:41,922 --> 00:03:43,532
<i>...one thinks of a bird.</i>

43
00:03:49,016 --> 00:03:51,061
<i>Some other animals
can produce sounds</i>

44
00:03:51,192 --> 00:03:54,587
<i>that are remarkably
like the ones we make.</i>

45
00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:05,946
<i>These are very
isolated occurrences, however.</i>

46
00:04:06,076 --> 00:04:07,643
<i>The result of coincidence</i>

47
00:04:07,774 --> 00:04:09,950
<i>rather than anything supernatural.</i>

48
00:04:33,713 --> 00:04:36,629
You are considered to be
the world's foremost expert

49
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:39,022
in parapsychology.

50
00:04:39,153 --> 00:04:40,502
A field of research I will admit

51
00:04:40,633 --> 00:04:43,940
I was unfamiliar with
until quite recently.

52
00:04:44,071 --> 00:04:45,333
Well, most are.

53
00:04:45,464 --> 00:04:46,769
Hm.

54
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,511
There is something
I have been dying to ask,

55
00:04:49,642 --> 00:04:50,730
no pun intended,

56
00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:52,819
since we arranged
this interview.

57
00:04:53,341 --> 00:04:56,866
I hope my, uh, nomenclature
is not too crude.

58
00:04:56,997 --> 00:04:58,215
Well, what is it?

59
00:04:58,346 --> 00:05:02,524
Well, do you believe in ghosts?

60
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:05,875
Well, the answer
to that question

61
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:07,616
is actually quite complicated.

62
00:05:07,747 --> 00:05:09,226
How so?

63
00:05:09,357 --> 00:05:12,099
Do you believe
that ghosts are real?

64
00:05:12,229 --> 00:05:14,231
Well, now that is an entirely
different question

65
00:05:14,362 --> 00:05:16,756
with an even more
complicated answer.

66
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,194
I'm afraid I'm a bit lost.

67
00:05:20,890 --> 00:05:22,109
Aren't we all?

68
00:05:23,893 --> 00:05:25,808
Allow me to respond
to your inquiry

69
00:05:25,939 --> 00:05:27,506
with a question for you.

70
00:05:27,636 --> 00:05:30,509
And that is, how do you define
that term, "real"?

71
00:05:31,074 --> 00:05:36,558
Well, it is, I suppose,
what I can see, what I can feel.

72
00:05:36,689 --> 00:05:39,822
Hear, smell.
What is obviously around me.

73
00:05:39,953 --> 00:05:42,129
Precisely.
What you can see,

74
00:05:42,259 --> 00:05:43,435
what you can feel,

75
00:05:43,565 --> 00:05:44,958
what is around you.

76
00:05:45,088 --> 00:05:46,351
- Right.
- Now, allow me

77
00:05:46,481 --> 00:05:49,005
to elucidate further
with a short exercise.

78
00:05:49,136 --> 00:05:50,790
- All right.
- Suppose when I look

79
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,269
into the corner of the room,

80
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,534
I see a man standing there
looking back at me.

81
00:05:58,188 --> 00:05:59,581
But there's no one there.

82
00:05:59,712 --> 00:06:00,756
So you say.

83
00:06:00,887 --> 00:06:03,585
But what if I could see someone?

84
00:06:04,499 --> 00:06:05,674
Can you?

85
00:06:05,805 --> 00:06:07,241
For the purpose
of this demonstration,

86
00:06:07,372 --> 00:06:10,200
yes, I see, as I said, a man.

87
00:06:10,331 --> 00:06:14,248
He is old with a heavy beard.

88
00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:16,381
Blue eyes.

89
00:06:16,511 --> 00:06:18,861
He is making faces at me now.

90
00:06:18,992 --> 00:06:20,602
He is waggling his tongue.

91
00:06:24,867 --> 00:06:29,872
Right, but, uh, but there is
no one there.

92
00:06:30,003 --> 00:06:31,396
Do you see anyone there?

93
00:06:34,616 --> 00:06:37,358
What? So you cannot see him,
neither can he.

94
00:06:37,489 --> 00:06:39,055
And yet I can.

95
00:06:39,186 --> 00:06:40,666
So is he real or not?

96
00:06:40,796 --> 00:06:43,016
Well, no.

97
00:06:43,756 --> 00:06:45,061
But I say he is.

98
00:06:45,192 --> 00:06:47,455
But he is not.

99
00:06:47,586 --> 00:06:49,152
But I...

100
00:06:50,153 --> 00:06:52,199
say he is.

101
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:56,943
That you two cannot see anyone
is irrelevant

102
00:06:57,073 --> 00:06:58,727
as far as I am concerned.

103
00:06:58,858 --> 00:07:00,468
You could bring
a thousand people in here

104
00:07:00,599 --> 00:07:02,339
and ask them all
if they see someone

105
00:07:02,470 --> 00:07:05,125
and they could all say no,
and yet I can.

106
00:07:05,255 --> 00:07:07,693
So to me, he is real.

107
00:07:09,042 --> 00:07:10,957
I think I understand now.

108
00:07:11,958 --> 00:07:14,264
Good. However...

109
00:07:14,395 --> 00:07:15,788
Oh, God, what now?

110
00:07:15,918 --> 00:07:18,573
My field of research with
regard to this scenario

111
00:07:18,704 --> 00:07:20,793
I have concocted
has little to do with the fact

112
00:07:20,923 --> 00:07:22,969
that you two cannot see
anyone in the corner.

113
00:07:23,099 --> 00:07:26,320
In fact, it does not
really matter that I can.

114
00:07:26,451 --> 00:07:28,583
What I am concerned with...

115
00:07:29,584 --> 00:07:32,152
What I am obsessed
with understanding is,

116
00:07:32,282 --> 00:07:34,676
why I can see that man?

117
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:36,461
Do you understand?

118
00:07:37,244 --> 00:07:38,463
Not at all.

119
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:38,610
Anne, hello.

120
00:08:39,654 --> 00:08:40,786
How was it?

121
00:08:43,092 --> 00:08:44,790
A drink, please.

122
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,965
I see.

123
00:08:47,314 --> 00:08:49,403
Would you prefer
the Burns or the Calvert?

124
00:08:49,534 --> 00:08:51,623
The Calvert to start.

125
00:08:58,325 --> 00:09:01,067
Now after the day
you've had,

126
00:09:01,197 --> 00:09:05,506
probably in no mood to have me
read your letters to you.

127
00:09:05,637 --> 00:09:07,421
Well... you might as well.

128
00:09:07,552 --> 00:09:09,205
Otherwise, they'll just...

129
00:09:09,336 --> 00:09:10,729
continue to accumulate.

130
00:09:10,859 --> 00:09:12,078
Yes.

131
00:09:12,687 --> 00:09:13,732
Right.

132
00:09:19,128 --> 00:09:20,826
"Dear Dr. Fodor,

133
00:09:20,956 --> 00:09:22,654
I do hope this letter
finds you well.

134
00:09:22,784 --> 00:09:23,742
My name is--"

135
00:09:23,872 --> 00:09:25,178
S-Sorry, Anne.

136
00:09:26,048 --> 00:09:28,137
If you could skip
the pleasantries,

137
00:09:28,268 --> 00:09:29,530
I'm not in the mood.

138
00:09:29,661 --> 00:09:30,966
Certainly. Yeah.

139
00:09:31,097 --> 00:09:32,185
"I live in the town
of Dundee, Scotland

140
00:09:32,315 --> 00:09:34,361
with my son Oliver.

141
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:36,102
When we moved
into the cottage on--"

142
00:09:36,232 --> 00:09:37,538
All right.

143
00:09:37,669 --> 00:09:38,800
Here is what we will do.

144
00:09:38,931 --> 00:09:41,586
You will read the letter
to yourself,

145
00:09:41,716 --> 00:09:44,153
then you will take a moment.

146
00:09:44,719 --> 00:09:47,766
And then you will summarize it
for me.

147
00:09:47,896 --> 00:09:49,158
Ye... yes, sir.

148
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,689
How short would you prefer
this summary to be?

149
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:01,823
Four sentences or less.

150
00:10:03,172 --> 00:10:05,784
- How does that sound?
- Four. Yes.

151
00:10:15,402 --> 00:10:16,490
Oh.

152
00:10:19,014 --> 00:10:20,407
Right, I think I've got it.

153
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:22,583
Oh, does that count as one
of my four sentences?

154
00:10:22,714 --> 00:10:24,498
- No.
- Excellent.

155
00:10:25,630 --> 00:10:29,068
A young Scottish boy.
He sees his dead grandmother.

156
00:10:29,198 --> 00:10:30,635
Mother doesn't believe.

157
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:36,205
Mother finds dead grandmother's
necklace on her pillow...

158
00:10:36,336 --> 00:10:37,554
One, two, three.

159
00:10:37,685 --> 00:10:39,905
...and the boy suffers at school

160
00:10:40,035 --> 00:10:40,949
because of his visions.

161
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,124
Next.

162
00:10:52,482 --> 00:10:53,658
Right.

163
00:10:54,702 --> 00:10:56,051
Library in Calcutta.

164
00:10:57,183 --> 00:11:00,795
Ghost of the former caretaker
said to haunt the history wing.

165
00:11:00,926 --> 00:11:02,667
Books strewn around.

166
00:11:03,798 --> 00:11:05,887
Photograph of phantasm enclosed.

167
00:11:09,064 --> 00:11:10,239
See? It's there.

168
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:11,458
Oh, for fuck's sake.

169
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:12,633
Next.

170
00:11:19,161 --> 00:11:21,686
Oh, golly. Right.

171
00:11:25,037 --> 00:11:28,083
Isle of Man.
Family living in a farmhouse.

172
00:11:29,171 --> 00:11:32,392
Claim a talking mongoose
lives in their barn.

173
00:11:33,219 --> 00:11:34,699
Creature's name is Gef.

174
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:40,095
A talking mongoose.

175
00:11:40,226 --> 00:11:41,270
Yes.

176
00:11:41,793 --> 00:11:43,664
The creature,
whose name is Gef,

177
00:11:45,013 --> 00:11:47,624
resembles a mongoose
or some other member of--

178
00:11:47,755 --> 00:11:49,278
May I?

179
00:11:51,106 --> 00:11:52,107
Thank you.

180
00:11:53,152 --> 00:11:55,545
"Dear Dr. Fodor, greetings.

181
00:11:55,676 --> 00:11:59,158
I hope this letter finds you...
The Isle of Man.

182
00:11:59,288 --> 00:12:01,813
Let me begin by saying that
the earliest documented instance

183
00:12:01,943 --> 00:12:04,032
of an animal
speaking like a human

184
00:12:04,163 --> 00:12:06,078
was in the 5th century BC

185
00:12:06,208 --> 00:12:08,471
by the Greek philosopher
Ctesias--"

186
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:10,778
This is from Dr. Harry Price.

187
00:12:10,909 --> 00:12:14,477
Yes, I-I believe he-he-he
visited the Irving family

188
00:12:14,608 --> 00:12:16,262
and investigated
the creature.

189
00:12:17,872 --> 00:12:18,960
Gef.

190
00:12:20,483 --> 00:12:24,052
"And while he did not see it,
he heard it.

191
00:12:25,053 --> 00:12:27,752
And the Irvings, and many
of the other townspeople

192
00:12:27,882 --> 00:12:31,277
are utterly convinced
that the creature does exist."

193
00:12:38,850 --> 00:12:41,200
- Would you pour me another?
- Oh, yes.

194
00:12:46,466 --> 00:12:48,816
<i>"And while
he did not see it,</i>

195
00:12:48,947 --> 00:12:50,165
<i>he heard it.</i>

196
00:12:51,863 --> 00:12:55,083
<i>And the Irvings, and many
of the other townspeople</i>

197
00:12:55,214 --> 00:12:58,521
<i>are utterly convinced
that the creature does exist."</i>

198
00:13:01,786 --> 00:13:03,091
A talking...

199
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:05,790
mongoose.

200
00:13:23,155 --> 00:13:25,592
I, uh, ordered you a gin rickey.

201
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:28,421
I dimly recall a fondness for...

202
00:13:30,684 --> 00:13:31,728
Thank you.

203
00:13:33,339 --> 00:13:36,864
Apologies for my lateness.

204
00:13:39,171 --> 00:13:41,695
I took a circuitous route,

205
00:13:41,826 --> 00:13:45,264
to ensure I was not
being followed.

206
00:13:45,394 --> 00:13:47,744
Why on Earth
would anyone follow you?

207
00:13:47,875 --> 00:13:49,529
I don't know.

208
00:13:49,659 --> 00:13:52,575
I did not wish to be seen
together in this...

209
00:13:52,706 --> 00:13:53,838
public place.

210
00:13:58,668 --> 00:14:01,149
Have I become that unpopular
with your peers?

211
00:14:02,281 --> 00:14:03,630
I'm afraid so.

212
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:08,722
The London Spiritualist Alliance

213
00:14:08,853 --> 00:14:13,814
do not take kindly to your new
clinical methods of research.

214
00:14:15,947 --> 00:14:16,991
So...

215
00:14:18,427 --> 00:14:19,602
The mongoose.

216
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:22,083
Gef.

217
00:14:24,564 --> 00:14:28,873
Well, I-I must admit I found
your letter to be intriguing.

218
00:14:29,003 --> 00:14:33,138
In my nearly 30 years

219
00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:38,317
of investigating
unnatural occurrences,

220
00:14:38,447 --> 00:14:41,015
this is perhaps
the strangest case

221
00:14:41,146 --> 00:14:43,539
I have ever encountered.

222
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:45,193
Really?

223
00:14:45,324 --> 00:14:49,241
Mr. Irving, who owns the farm
upon which Gef resides,

224
00:14:49,371 --> 00:14:54,159
had written me 16 letters
over the past four years,

225
00:14:54,289 --> 00:14:58,598
describing the antics
of this bizarre creature.

226
00:14:58,728 --> 00:15:00,382
Strange that
he never wrote to me.

227
00:15:00,513 --> 00:15:04,734
Ah, the Irving family
are peculiar.

228
00:15:04,865 --> 00:15:06,693
Just to be clear,

229
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:10,088
did you witness this creature
during your investigation?

230
00:15:10,218 --> 00:15:14,222
Did you observe it
speaking like a human?

231
00:15:14,353 --> 00:15:15,397
No.

232
00:15:15,528 --> 00:15:16,877
No.

233
00:15:17,008 --> 00:15:19,967
But I did hear it.

234
00:15:20,098 --> 00:15:21,055
You did?

235
00:15:21,186 --> 00:15:23,014
Yes. Once.

236
00:15:23,797 --> 00:15:25,451
From another room.

237
00:15:25,581 --> 00:15:27,061
From another room?

238
00:15:28,019 --> 00:15:30,586
And you're certain
it was the creature you heard,

239
00:15:30,717 --> 00:15:32,066
not someone else?

240
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:34,025
I suppose it could have been.

241
00:15:35,374 --> 00:15:38,464
We were informed
by one of the townspeople

242
00:15:38,594 --> 00:15:40,814
that the daughter, Voirrey,

243
00:15:40,945 --> 00:15:44,165
is an adept ventriloquist.

244
00:15:45,427 --> 00:15:46,559
I'm sorry.

245
00:15:46,689 --> 00:15:48,604
I know how all this sounds.

246
00:16:00,573 --> 00:16:01,704
What's this?

247
00:16:01,835 --> 00:16:02,836
My journal.

248
00:16:02,967 --> 00:16:05,012
It contains notes I took

249
00:16:05,143 --> 00:16:10,887
during the investigation
of the Irving family, and Gef.

250
00:16:17,242 --> 00:16:19,157
An adept ventriloquist.

251
00:16:25,859 --> 00:16:28,731
The people of Cashen's Gap
are nearly unanimous

252
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:32,431
in their belief in-in Gef.

253
00:16:32,997 --> 00:16:37,479
Many have encountered
the creature, or so they say.

254
00:16:39,090 --> 00:16:40,134
Interesting.

255
00:16:43,746 --> 00:16:45,531
You know who you remind me of?

256
00:16:46,532 --> 00:16:47,576
Who's that?

257
00:16:48,273 --> 00:16:49,839
Harry Houdini.

258
00:16:51,406 --> 00:16:53,800
I'm far less clever than he was.

259
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:56,629
Perhaps, but your lives
have been quite similar,

260
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:58,065
in some ways.

261
00:16:59,806 --> 00:17:01,329
I recall,

262
00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:03,636
before you became a skeptic.

263
00:17:03,766 --> 00:17:05,246
I am not a skeptic.

264
00:17:05,377 --> 00:17:07,770
Before you became
what you are,

265
00:17:07,901 --> 00:17:09,903
I distinctly remember
you telling me

266
00:17:10,034 --> 00:17:14,038
the story of the seance
you participated in.

267
00:17:14,690 --> 00:17:18,346
With a voice medium,
William Cartheuser.

268
00:17:18,477 --> 00:17:21,219
You became disillusioned,
with Cartheuser,

269
00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:24,526
with all mediums, as we know.

270
00:17:24,657 --> 00:17:26,137
And yet, you spoke

271
00:17:26,267 --> 00:17:29,488
of the overwhelming
emotional impact

272
00:17:29,618 --> 00:17:31,881
of encountering...

273
00:17:32,012 --> 00:17:33,666
your departed father.

274
00:17:35,146 --> 00:17:36,582
What has this to do
with Houdini?

275
00:17:36,712 --> 00:17:40,412
Humans are obsessed with death.

276
00:17:40,542 --> 00:17:45,025
And with what does
or does not come after it.

277
00:17:45,504 --> 00:17:48,028
You investigate
unnatural occurrences

278
00:17:48,159 --> 00:17:50,335
under the guise of understanding

279
00:17:50,465 --> 00:17:56,950
why humans project
these phantasms into reality.

280
00:17:57,777 --> 00:18:03,652
Why they are incapable of
letting go of these delusions,

281
00:18:03,783 --> 00:18:05,001
as you call them.

282
00:18:05,698 --> 00:18:06,742
Yes.

283
00:18:08,004 --> 00:18:12,096
I think you still
just miss your father.

284
00:18:17,797 --> 00:18:19,929
<i>Houdini was deeply affected</i>

285
00:18:20,060 --> 00:18:23,368
<i>by the death of his mother,
as you know.</i>

286
00:18:24,499 --> 00:18:26,588
<i>He visited a medium</i>

287
00:18:26,719 --> 00:18:30,070
<i>hoping he might be able
to communicate with her.</i>

288
00:18:38,513 --> 00:18:42,343
<i>And he realized
that the medium was a fraud.</i>

289
00:18:42,474 --> 00:18:45,781
<i>So he sought to disprove
all mediums,</i>

290
00:18:45,912 --> 00:18:47,870
<i>to expose all psychics</i>

291
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:51,570
and spiritualists
as opportunists,

292
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:54,181
who prey upon the bereaved.

293
00:18:55,791 --> 00:18:59,708
<i>He would attend seances
in disguise,</i>

294
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:03,669
<i>and would leap forth
and explain to those present</i>

295
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:06,019
<i>how they were being duped...</i>

296
00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:08,021
You are a fraud!

297
00:19:08,152 --> 00:19:10,458
...demonstrating
the fraudulent methods

298
00:19:10,589 --> 00:19:12,895
the mediums employed.

299
00:19:13,026 --> 00:19:14,332
I've heard these stories.

300
00:19:14,462 --> 00:19:17,073
But he wanted to believe.

301
00:19:17,204 --> 00:19:20,033
He wanted to be mystified.

302
00:19:20,164 --> 00:19:24,603
He wanted to find one
who did understand

303
00:19:24,733 --> 00:19:29,782
so he could communicate
with his dead mother.

304
00:19:29,912 --> 00:19:33,655
<i>Did you know
that he and his wife, Bess,</i>

305
00:19:33,786 --> 00:19:35,875
<i>devised a message</i>

306
00:19:36,484 --> 00:19:38,965
<i>which one or the other
would relay,</i>

307
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:42,621
<i>via medium, after they passed?</i>

308
00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:47,191
Supposedly they told no one
this message.

309
00:19:47,321 --> 00:19:49,062
<i>I did not know this, no.</i>

310
00:19:54,241 --> 00:19:55,982
After Houdini died,

311
00:19:56,112 --> 00:20:00,682
Bess visited a medium
named Arthur Ford.

312
00:20:00,813 --> 00:20:04,599
<i>And he informed her
he had received a message</i>

313
00:20:04,730 --> 00:20:07,211
<i>from her late husband.</i>

314
00:20:08,951 --> 00:20:10,214
Is that right?

315
00:20:10,692 --> 00:20:14,261
<i>Bess confirmed
that the message was,</i>

316
00:20:14,392 --> 00:20:19,614
<i>in fact, the code,
which only she and Harry knew.</i>

317
00:20:26,491 --> 00:20:30,059
So, what do you think
about that?

318
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,369
I don't think anything
about that.

319
00:20:43,856 --> 00:20:45,118
Anne!

320
00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:54,258
Ow! Who put that there?

321
00:20:56,912 --> 00:20:58,044
Anne!

322
00:21:04,137 --> 00:21:05,356
Is everything all right?

323
00:21:05,486 --> 00:21:07,836
We are going
to the Isle of Man.

324
00:21:08,881 --> 00:21:09,925
Golly!

325
00:21:16,497 --> 00:21:18,107
"The most extraordinary part

326
00:21:18,238 --> 00:21:19,457
of this amazing case

327
00:21:19,587 --> 00:21:22,068
is that Mr. Irving
has kept a sort of diary

328
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:24,157
in the form of letters
of Gef's doings,

329
00:21:24,288 --> 00:21:26,942
and it rivals
the Arabian Nights

330
00:21:27,073 --> 00:21:31,425
in the fantastic improbabilities
which the record contains.

331
00:21:31,556 --> 00:21:34,602
Before me are 200
quarto typed sheets,

332
00:21:34,733 --> 00:21:37,126
and every page
describes a miracle.

333
00:21:37,257 --> 00:21:40,216
I will mention some of the most
interesting incidents."

334
00:21:46,701 --> 00:21:50,270
<i>In June 1932,
Gef began killing rabbits,</i>

335
00:21:50,401 --> 00:21:51,837
<i>for the family.</i>

336
00:21:51,967 --> 00:21:53,142
<i>He strangled them,</i>

337
00:21:53,273 --> 00:21:54,970
<i>and thoughtfully
left them outside</i>

338
00:21:55,101 --> 00:21:58,539
<i>in a convenient position
on the wall.</i>

339
00:21:58,670 --> 00:22:01,890
<i>During the next year or so,
he slaughtered scores of them</i>

340
00:22:02,021 --> 00:22:04,632
<i>and the faunal equilibrium
of the district</i>

341
00:22:04,763 --> 00:22:07,505
<i>was in danger of being upset.</i>

342
00:22:09,376 --> 00:22:10,899
<i>In 1934,</i>

343
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:14,250
<i>Gef began making little trips
to the nearest town</i>

344
00:22:14,381 --> 00:22:16,427
<i>and on his return,
told the farmer</i>

345
00:22:16,557 --> 00:22:19,038
<i>what certain people
have been doing.</i>

346
00:22:19,168 --> 00:22:21,432
<i>This was proved to be correct.</i>

347
00:22:21,562 --> 00:22:24,913
<i>Then he became clairvoyant
and told the farmer</i>

348
00:22:25,044 --> 00:22:28,874
<i>what was happening ten miles
away without leaving the farm.</i>

349
00:22:29,004 --> 00:22:31,790
<i>Questioned as to whether
he was a "spirit,"</i>

350
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,447
<i>Gef said
"I am an earthbound spirit."</i>

351
00:22:36,577 --> 00:22:40,146
<i>In July of the same year,
Gef began doing tricks.</i>

352
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:43,932
<i>A person would go outside
onto the farmhouse's porch</i>

353
00:22:44,063 --> 00:22:46,065
<i>and place some pennies
on a stone.</i>

354
00:22:46,195 --> 00:22:48,676
<i>Gef, with his eye
to the door's peephole,</i>

355
00:22:48,807 --> 00:22:52,506
<i>would then say whether
they were heads or tails up.</i>

356
00:22:53,202 --> 00:22:55,466
<i>Sometimes he was right.</i>

357
00:22:56,554 --> 00:22:59,295
<i>Voirrey has even attempted
to photograph him.</i>

358
00:22:59,426 --> 00:23:02,342
<i>But just as she was about
to press the button,</i>

359
00:23:02,473 --> 00:23:06,302
<i>he darted off and was not
heard from for days.</i>

360
00:23:06,433 --> 00:23:09,175
<i>Gef explained that he is afraid
of being caught.</i>

361
00:23:09,305 --> 00:23:11,960
<i>Not by the camera,
but by a trap.</i>

362
00:23:12,091 --> 00:23:14,310
<i>Hence his timidity.</i>

363
00:23:15,703 --> 00:23:18,793
<i>Sometimes Gef follows
the Irvings to the nearest town</i>

364
00:23:18,924 --> 00:23:20,316
<i>when they go marketing.</i>

365
00:23:20,447 --> 00:23:23,407
<i>But always keeps
on the far side of the hedge,</i>

366
00:23:23,537 --> 00:23:26,975
<i>though he chats gaily
all the time.</i>

367
00:23:29,587 --> 00:23:34,548
<i>In March, 1935,
I received some fur and hairs</i>

368
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:38,509
<i>which Gef had kindly plucked
from his back and tail,</i>

369
00:23:38,639 --> 00:23:41,120
<i>and was asked to identify it.</i>

370
00:23:42,208 --> 00:23:45,429
<i>I forwarded it
to Professor Julian Huxley,</i>

371
00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:49,476
<i>who handed it to
Mr. F. Martin Duncan, F.Z.S.,</i>

372
00:23:49,607 --> 00:23:52,653
<i>the authority on hair and fur.</i>

373
00:23:52,784 --> 00:23:54,916
<i>In a letter to me, he says:</i>

374
00:23:55,047 --> 00:23:57,658
I have carefully examined them microscopically

375
00:23:57,789 --> 00:24:00,444
and compared them
with hairs of known origin.

376
00:24:01,009 --> 00:24:03,403
As a result,
I can very definitely state

377
00:24:03,534 --> 00:24:06,537
that these specimen hairs
never grew upon a mongoose,

378
00:24:07,189 --> 00:24:11,063
nor are they those of a rat,
rabbit, hare, squirrel,

379
00:24:11,193 --> 00:24:14,936
or other rodent,
or sheep, goat, or cow.

380
00:24:15,763 --> 00:24:18,766
I am inclined
that these hairs have probably

381
00:24:18,897 --> 00:24:22,988
been taken from
a longish-haired dog or dogs.

382
00:24:24,424 --> 00:24:26,861
<i>Mr. Irving wrote
that he would be delighted</i>

383
00:24:26,992 --> 00:24:30,604
<i>to see me and would make
all arrangements for my visit.</i>

384
00:24:30,735 --> 00:24:32,998
<i>Unfortunately,
on receipt of the letter</i>

385
00:24:33,128 --> 00:24:36,523
<i>announcing my decision,
Gef suddenly disappeared.</i>

386
00:24:37,176 --> 00:24:39,526
<i>At the end of the month,
he was still missing,</i>

387
00:24:39,657 --> 00:24:41,702
<i>but I decided
not to alter my plans.</i>

388
00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:43,487
<i>And as I wanted a witness</i>

389
00:24:43,617 --> 00:24:46,098
<i>in case Gef should put
in an appearance,</i>

390
00:24:46,228 --> 00:24:50,232
<i>I asked Mr. R.S. Lambert,
the editor of</i> The Listener,

391
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:52,234
<i>if he would accompany me.</i>

392
00:24:52,974 --> 00:24:55,760
<i>Upon our arrival to the Isle,
we decided to visit</i>

393
00:24:55,890 --> 00:24:57,805
<i>the haunt of Gef right away.</i>

394
00:24:57,936 --> 00:25:00,504
<i>As we approached,
Mr. Lambert and I</i>

395
00:25:00,634 --> 00:25:05,247
<i>were startled by an animal
bounding toward us.</i>

396
00:25:06,292 --> 00:25:08,250
<i>But it was only Ralph,</i>

397
00:25:08,381 --> 00:25:10,122
<i>the Irving's
three-year-old dog,</i>

398
00:25:10,252 --> 00:25:13,081
<i>who had heard
his master's voice.</i>

399
00:25:14,953 --> 00:25:19,218
<i>We at last reached the house
and were introduced to Voirrey,</i>

400
00:25:19,348 --> 00:25:23,744
<i>a good-looking girl of 17
who we found very intelligent,</i>

401
00:25:23,875 --> 00:25:26,007
<i>shy, and rather quiet.</i>

402
00:25:26,138 --> 00:25:29,097
<i>Mrs. Irving is a charming
and dignified lady</i>

403
00:25:29,228 --> 00:25:30,925
<i>who gave us a friendly welcome</i>

404
00:25:31,056 --> 00:25:34,363
<i>and asked us
to make ourselves at home.</i>

405
00:25:34,494 --> 00:25:37,802
<i>Mr. Irving was a successful
Liverpool businessman</i>

406
00:25:37,932 --> 00:25:39,412
<i>who, at the beginning
of the War,</i>

407
00:25:39,543 --> 00:25:40,761
<i>bought the farmstead,</i>

408
00:25:40,892 --> 00:25:43,851
<i>hoping to make a living
breeding sheep.</i>

409
00:25:43,982 --> 00:25:45,810
<i>As we sat around
the paraffin lamp</i>

410
00:25:45,940 --> 00:25:48,421
<i>in the small,
dark-paneled parlor,</i>

411
00:25:48,552 --> 00:25:51,206
<i>we heard the Gef story
all over again.</i>

412
00:25:51,337 --> 00:25:53,905
<i>Mr. Lambert and I
plied the Irvings</i>

413
00:25:54,035 --> 00:25:57,038
<i>with innumerable questions
and received answers</i>

414
00:25:57,169 --> 00:25:58,910
<i>which invariably tallied</i>

415
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,609
<i>with what Mr. Irving
had recorded in his letters.</i>

416
00:26:04,002 --> 00:26:09,094
<i>The family was heartbroken
by Gef's continued absence.</i>

417
00:26:09,224 --> 00:26:11,705
<i>Mrs. Irving
was convinced the mongoose</i>

418
00:26:11,836 --> 00:26:13,751
<i>was still about the house.</i>

419
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:18,146
<i>Probably listening
to every word we were saying.</i>

420
00:26:20,671 --> 00:26:22,455
<i>She addressed
a few words to Gef</i>

421
00:26:22,586 --> 00:26:24,413
<i>in the hope that her appeal</i>

422
00:26:24,544 --> 00:26:27,460
<i>would strike a sympathetic
chord somewhere.</i>

423
00:26:27,591 --> 00:26:30,071
<i>There was no response.</i>

424
00:26:30,202 --> 00:26:31,812
<i>Then I addressed
a little speech</i>

425
00:26:31,943 --> 00:26:34,206
<i>to the four walls
of the living room,</i>

426
00:26:34,336 --> 00:26:36,164
<i>hoping Gef would hear me.</i>

427
00:26:36,295 --> 00:26:39,777
<i>I pointed out that we had come
a long way on his account,</i>

428
00:26:39,907 --> 00:26:43,084
<i>and that we were entitled
to some manifestation.</i>

429
00:26:43,215 --> 00:26:45,739
<i>A few words,
a scream, a squeak,</i>

430
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:49,003
<i>or just a simple scratch
behind the paneling.</i>

431
00:26:49,134 --> 00:26:52,354
<i>I even invited him
to throw something at me.</i>

432
00:26:52,485 --> 00:26:54,574
<i>But all to no purpose.</i>

433
00:26:54,705 --> 00:26:58,360
<i>Gef was definitely
not in a talking mood.</i>

434
00:27:01,276 --> 00:27:04,758
<i>Neither Mr. Lambert
nor I slept very well.</i>

435
00:27:04,889 --> 00:27:07,631
<i>The mongoose problem
obsessed our minds</i>

436
00:27:07,761 --> 00:27:09,937
<i>and made sleep difficult.</i>

437
00:27:10,068 --> 00:27:13,549
<i>Was the whole affair
a fraud from A to Z?</i>

438
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,465
<i>Was it a plot
lasting four years?</i>

439
00:27:16,596 --> 00:27:18,990
<i>If so, what was the motive?</i>

440
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,340
<i>Were the Irvings engaged
in a clever,</i>

441
00:27:21,470 --> 00:27:23,951
<i>picturesque conspiracy?</i>

442
00:27:24,082 --> 00:27:26,998
<i>Was there any
sort of animal at all?</i>

443
00:27:27,128 --> 00:27:30,088
<i>Was there any real evidence whatsoever</i>

444
00:27:30,218 --> 00:27:32,090
<i>that Gef had been heard?</i>

445
00:27:32,220 --> 00:27:33,482
<i>If a plot...</i>

446
00:27:33,613 --> 00:27:35,441
<i>there was no apparent motive,</i>

447
00:27:35,571 --> 00:27:37,356
<i>no financial gain.</i>

448
00:27:42,187 --> 00:27:45,843
<i>The next morning we awoke to
the news that Gef had returned</i>

449
00:27:45,973 --> 00:27:48,628
<i>and been talking
throughout much of the night.</i>

450
00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:51,196
<i>Incidentally,
Gef had informed the farmer</i>

451
00:27:51,326 --> 00:27:54,199
<i>that he had taken
a sly glance at me</i>

452
00:27:54,329 --> 00:27:58,029
<i>and did not like how I looked.</i>

453
00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:01,032
<i>So I was told to stand
in a certain position</i>

454
00:28:01,162 --> 00:28:04,513
<i>on the floor and cry out
"I believe in you, Gef!"</i>

455
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:07,473
I believe in you, Gef!

456
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:10,128
<i>There came a shrill scream
from upstairs.</i>

457
00:28:10,258 --> 00:28:13,218
<i>So once again I called out,
this time saying</i>

458
00:28:13,348 --> 00:28:15,568
<i>"Won't you come down?
I believe in you!"</i>

459
00:28:15,699 --> 00:28:17,004
<i>To which Gef replied,</i>

460
00:28:17,135 --> 00:28:19,354
<i>"No, I don't mean to stay long,</i>

461
00:28:19,485 --> 00:28:21,052
<i>as I don't like you!"</i>

462
00:28:21,182 --> 00:28:22,749
<i>As the mongoose was talking,</i>

463
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,970
<i>Mr. Lambert crept
toward the stairs.</i>

464
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,406
<i>But unfortunately,</i>

465
00:28:27,536 --> 00:28:29,451
<i>the top stair
had a loose tread,</i>

466
00:28:29,582 --> 00:28:32,063
<i>which he stepped on
and went tumbling down,</i>

467
00:28:32,193 --> 00:28:34,152
<i>making a terrible noise.</i>

468
00:28:34,282 --> 00:28:37,590
<i>Gef shrieked out
"He is coming!" and vanished.</i>

469
00:28:44,162 --> 00:28:46,773
<i>The Irvings
were kindness personified,</i>

470
00:28:46,904 --> 00:28:51,082
<i>and did everything for us,
except produce Gef.</i>

471
00:28:53,214 --> 00:28:56,478
<i>Mr. Irving personally
conducted us over the house</i>

472
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:59,046
<i>and pointed out Gef's haunts.</i>

473
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:02,093
<i>We saw numerous peepholes,</i>

474
00:29:02,223 --> 00:29:04,095
<i>cracks through which Gef
threw things</i>

475
00:29:04,225 --> 00:29:05,966
<i>at doubting visitors.</i>

476
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:08,839
<i>Squint-holes
through which the mongoose</i>

477
00:29:08,969 --> 00:29:10,362
<i>watches the Irvings.</i>

478
00:29:10,492 --> 00:29:12,277
<i>We saw the runs behind paneling</i>

479
00:29:12,407 --> 00:29:14,888
<i>by which Gef can skip, unseen,</i>

480
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:17,282
<i>from one room to another.</i>

481
00:29:17,412 --> 00:29:19,110
<i>The fact that every room
is paneled</i>

482
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,461
<i>makes the whole house
one enormous speaking-tube,</i>

483
00:29:22,591 --> 00:29:25,464
<i>with walls
like sounding-boards.</i>

484
00:29:27,858 --> 00:29:30,861
<i>In Voirrey's room
we were shown Gef's "sanctum,"</i>

485
00:29:30,991 --> 00:29:32,993
<i>which was a boxed partition,</i>

486
00:29:33,124 --> 00:29:35,822
<i>on top of which Gef
was said to dance</i>

487
00:29:35,953 --> 00:29:40,000
<i>to the gramophone
and bounce his favorite ball.</i>

488
00:29:41,175 --> 00:29:44,700
<i>By speaking into one of the
many apertures in the panels,</i>

489
00:29:44,831 --> 00:29:46,180
<i>it should be possible</i>

490
00:29:46,311 --> 00:29:47,703
<i>to convey the voice</i>

491
00:29:47,834 --> 00:29:49,793
<i>to various parts of the house.</i>

492
00:29:53,535 --> 00:29:56,495
<i>Apparently,
Gef often does this.</i>

493
00:30:05,591 --> 00:30:06,635
Can I fetch you a drink?

494
00:30:06,766 --> 00:30:09,334
Thank you.
No, um, I'm exhausted.

495
00:30:09,464 --> 00:30:11,902
I think I'm going
to retire early.

496
00:30:12,032 --> 00:30:13,686
Tomorrow should be interesting.

497
00:30:15,122 --> 00:30:17,559
I'm going to go to
the, uh, pub for a nightcap.

498
00:30:17,690 --> 00:30:18,996
Unless there's anything else
you might need?

499
00:30:20,084 --> 00:30:21,694
Uh, no, by all means.

500
00:30:21,825 --> 00:30:26,003
And, um, if you happen to see
any talking mongeese...

501
00:30:28,919 --> 00:30:30,485
It's mongooses,
I believe.

502
00:30:31,095 --> 00:30:33,793
Well, if you happen to see
any of either then,

503
00:30:34,533 --> 00:30:35,751
inform me right away.

504
00:30:35,882 --> 00:30:37,405
Yes, of course.

505
00:30:37,536 --> 00:30:39,712
- Night.
- Good night.

506
00:30:51,593 --> 00:30:52,812
Good evening.

507
00:30:55,467 --> 00:30:58,035
- And to you.
- Is the bar closed?

508
00:30:59,775 --> 00:31:01,690
What would you like to drink,
m'dear?

509
00:31:03,910 --> 00:31:05,085
A whiskey.

510
00:31:06,608 --> 00:31:08,959
I dunno if it's good whiskey
I'm afraid.

511
00:31:09,785 --> 00:31:11,352
Well, shouldn't we wait for...

512
00:31:11,483 --> 00:31:12,527
For whom?

513
00:31:30,763 --> 00:31:32,896
Here to see ol' Gef, right?

514
00:31:34,375 --> 00:31:36,638
I am the assistant
to Dr. Nandor Fodor,

515
00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:38,771
the world's
foremost parapsychologist.

516
00:31:38,902 --> 00:31:40,947
And we are here
to investigate a possible

517
00:31:41,078 --> 00:31:42,688
supernatural occurrence

518
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:44,908
involving an entity known as,

519
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,388
yes, Gef.

520
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:48,563
Hm.

521
00:31:49,477 --> 00:31:51,131
Gef ain't supernatural.

522
00:31:53,177 --> 00:31:54,656
He's an earth spirit.

523
00:31:56,441 --> 00:31:58,182
Told me that hisself, he did.

524
00:32:00,097 --> 00:32:01,402
Have you encountered him?

525
00:32:03,056 --> 00:32:04,275
Indeed I have.

526
00:32:05,754 --> 00:32:06,799
Once.

527
00:32:07,843 --> 00:32:09,715
Were near two years past now.

528
00:32:11,847 --> 00:32:14,154
Did you see him?
Can you describe him?

529
00:32:14,285 --> 00:32:16,635
Were but only
for the briefest of moments.

530
00:32:18,637 --> 00:32:20,769
And outta the corner
of me eye.

531
00:32:22,815 --> 00:32:24,077
Oh, I see.

532
00:32:24,208 --> 00:32:25,339
But I heard him speak.

533
00:32:27,951 --> 00:32:29,213
Clear as day.

534
00:32:38,744 --> 00:32:41,399
<i>It were after the funeral rites
Father Penzen read</i>

535
00:32:41,529 --> 00:32:43,053
<i>for my beloved Helen.</i>

536
00:32:44,968 --> 00:32:46,012
<i>Is that your wife?</i>

537
00:32:46,143 --> 00:32:47,187
<i>Aye.</i>

538
00:32:49,363 --> 00:32:51,191
<i>Nigh onto 30 years.</i>

539
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:54,368
<i>It was consumption took her...</i>

540
00:32:56,153 --> 00:32:57,415
before her time.

541
00:32:58,068 --> 00:32:59,765
I am very sorry.

542
00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:01,462
I'd had a few that day.

543
00:33:02,289 --> 00:33:04,509
<i>I wasn't copin' too well
with her loss.</i>

544
00:33:05,205 --> 00:33:07,207
<i>So by's time
the rites had been read,</i>

545
00:33:07,338 --> 00:33:09,383
<i>I had to piss somethin' fierce.</i>

546
00:33:14,127 --> 00:33:16,303
So I went 'round the side
of that old church,

547
00:33:17,304 --> 00:33:18,523
where I'd be outta sight.

548
00:33:20,612 --> 00:33:23,789
<i>And it was when I was standin'
there, pissin',</i>

549
00:33:27,010 --> 00:33:28,228
that I heard him.

550
00:33:30,535 --> 00:33:32,232
- Gef?
- Aye.

551
00:33:39,761 --> 00:33:41,807
<i>He recited a poem to me.</i>

552
00:33:44,810 --> 00:33:50,033
And even now, rememberin',
I get a bit blubbery.

553
00:33:57,127 --> 00:34:00,565
"I dreamed that one
had died in a strange place

554
00:34:00,695 --> 00:34:02,262
Near no accustomed hand

555
00:34:02,393 --> 00:34:04,917
And they had nailed
the boards above her face

556
00:34:05,048 --> 00:34:07,006
The peasants of that land

557
00:34:07,137 --> 00:34:09,878
Wondering to lay her
in that solitude

558
00:34:10,009 --> 00:34:11,793
And raised above her mound

559
00:34:11,924 --> 00:34:14,970
A cross they had made
out of two bits of wood

560
00:34:15,101 --> 00:34:17,190
And planted cypress round

561
00:34:17,321 --> 00:34:20,411
And left her
to the indifferent stars above

562
00:34:20,541 --> 00:34:23,153
Until I carved these words

563
00:34:23,283 --> 00:34:27,113
She was more beautiful
than thy first love

564
00:34:27,244 --> 00:34:31,074
But now lies under boards..."

565
00:34:36,166 --> 00:34:38,472
That were the day
I finally quit drinkin'.

566
00:34:47,046 --> 00:34:48,961
That poem was by Yeats,
wasn't it?

567
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,528
It's "A Dream of Death."

568
00:34:50,658 --> 00:34:51,746
Aye.

569
00:34:53,183 --> 00:34:56,838
But it weren't only the poem
itself that struck me so.

570
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:00,320
It were that voice.

571
00:35:02,801 --> 00:35:04,846
That voice
that got inside of me.

572
00:35:07,197 --> 00:35:12,115
Felt like it were playin' up
my spinal cord like piano keys.

573
00:35:13,377 --> 00:35:14,465
I see.

574
00:35:14,595 --> 00:35:15,596
I'd been numb.

575
00:35:16,423 --> 00:35:17,424
See?

576
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,125
Unaccepting that she were gone.

577
00:35:25,998 --> 00:35:30,089
It were the first time I allowed
myself to feel the pain.

578
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:34,615
I needed to.

579
00:35:36,139 --> 00:35:37,401
I needed to.

580
00:35:38,141 --> 00:35:39,620
I understand.

581
00:35:47,846 --> 00:35:50,979
Ya wanna know the strangest
part of the whole story, though?

582
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,724
There's something stranger
than what you just told me?

583
00:35:58,204 --> 00:35:59,336
Aye.

584
00:36:01,076 --> 00:36:04,167
My Helen passed in April of '33.

585
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:08,736
Good Friday,
if you can believe it.

586
00:36:10,216 --> 00:36:11,391
Oh.

587
00:36:12,087 --> 00:36:15,787
That poem, Yeats, as you know,

588
00:36:17,832 --> 00:36:20,922
it weren't published
until the summer of '34.

589
00:36:22,228 --> 00:36:23,229
Oh.

590
00:36:24,187 --> 00:36:25,144
Hm.

591
00:36:25,275 --> 00:36:26,711
You don't believe me, do ya?

592
00:36:28,147 --> 00:36:30,715
Well, it was a very sad story.

593
00:36:30,845 --> 00:36:31,933
Aye.

594
00:36:35,633 --> 00:36:37,896
You must understand,
Dr. Fodor has instilled in me

595
00:36:38,026 --> 00:36:40,028
a tremendous skepticism.

596
00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:43,815
He always says,
"Believe only that

597
00:36:43,945 --> 00:36:45,686
which can be seen and heard,

598
00:36:45,817 --> 00:36:50,125
touched, detected
by instruments of science.

599
00:36:50,256 --> 00:36:51,997
Believe not words,

600
00:36:52,127 --> 00:36:56,262
but provable, observable facts."

601
00:37:00,875 --> 00:37:02,573
And that's how ya live, then?

602
00:37:05,967 --> 00:37:07,969
I mean, Dr. Fodor
is a brilliant man.

603
00:37:12,583 --> 00:37:14,933
Your story's as sad as mine,
I think.

604
00:37:17,196 --> 00:37:18,371
In its own way.

605
00:38:02,197 --> 00:38:03,851
Hey. Hey.

606
00:38:05,897 --> 00:38:07,899
- You must be Dr. Fodor.
- Yeah. Hello.

607
00:38:08,029 --> 00:38:09,596
- You must be Anne.
- How do you do?

608
00:38:09,727 --> 00:38:10,989
Delighted to make
your acquaintance!

609
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:12,643
Welcome to Cashen's Gap!

610
00:38:12,773 --> 00:38:14,209
I see you've already met
our mayor!

611
00:38:15,254 --> 00:38:16,690
We're all very excited
that you're here.

612
00:38:16,821 --> 00:38:18,562
Dr. Price spoke
quite highly of you.

613
00:38:18,692 --> 00:38:20,303
Now, he was a lovely man,
he was.

614
00:38:20,433 --> 00:38:22,000
Oh. Indeed.

615
00:38:22,130 --> 00:38:23,393
Best of luck to you.

616
00:38:23,523 --> 00:38:25,046
Oh, thank you, Maurice.

617
00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:26,309
Mayor.

618
00:38:28,093 --> 00:38:29,790
Have to drive you
rest of the way to the house

619
00:38:29,921 --> 00:38:31,226
if that's all right with you.

620
00:38:31,357 --> 00:38:33,272
The, uh, grade can be a bit more

621
00:38:33,403 --> 00:38:35,405
uneven at times, I'm afraid.

622
00:38:35,927 --> 00:38:37,363
I think we will be fine.

623
00:38:40,148 --> 00:38:41,802
The warmth of this winter
in particular,

624
00:38:41,933 --> 00:38:44,762
makes it very suitable
for cultivation of apricots.

625
00:38:44,892 --> 00:38:47,068
Delicious little darlings,
if you've never had 'un.

626
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,941
- I think I'm gonna be sick.
- Oh, gosh.

627
00:38:50,071 --> 00:38:53,945
And here, closer to the water,
the soil's a lot lighter,

628
00:38:54,075 --> 00:38:57,340
more akin to sand, so
the cherry trees just love it.

629
00:38:57,470 --> 00:38:58,689
You can see 'em there.

630
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:02,214
What?

631
00:39:13,268 --> 00:39:15,575
And with how warm it's been,
as I mentioned,

632
00:39:15,706 --> 00:39:18,535
you know, the fruit's
just been growin' so well.

633
00:39:18,665 --> 00:39:20,275
Last year was more profitable
than the previous,

634
00:39:20,406 --> 00:39:21,929
which had been more profitable
than the previous.

635
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:24,192
And this year, you know,
set to be the best yet.

636
00:39:24,323 --> 00:39:27,239
You know, it's more work,
but it's rewarding, in its way.

637
00:39:27,370 --> 00:39:30,285
Oh, Dr. Fodor,
this is my wife, Margaret.

638
00:39:30,416 --> 00:39:32,331
Maggie,
this is Dr. Nandor Fodor,

639
00:39:32,462 --> 00:39:33,767
and his assistant, Anne.

640
00:39:33,898 --> 00:39:36,683
It's a real pleasure
to meet ya, Dr. Fodor.

641
00:39:36,814 --> 00:39:41,253
Dr. Price spoke so admiringly
of ya in his letters.

642
00:39:41,384 --> 00:39:43,734
I wanted to have read your book
before you arrived,

643
00:39:43,864 --> 00:39:46,040
but when I ordered it
from Pavel's in town,

644
00:39:46,171 --> 00:39:48,434
they said it'd be a month
before a copy came.

645
00:39:48,565 --> 00:39:52,569
Well, that is very kind,
and, uh, entirely unnecessary.

646
00:39:53,918 --> 00:39:56,616
And aren't you
a beautiful thing?

647
00:39:57,225 --> 00:39:59,619
Such eleemosynary eyes.

648
00:39:59,750 --> 00:40:00,881
Hello.

649
00:40:01,708 --> 00:40:03,928
Married, are you? Hmm?

650
00:40:04,972 --> 00:40:06,757
Oh. Oh, no.

651
00:40:07,410 --> 00:40:09,020
I'm sor... I'm...

652
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:11,196
No. [splutters] I'm-I'm-I'm...

653
00:40:11,326 --> 00:40:13,328
I'm Dr. Fodor's assistant.

654
00:40:15,069 --> 00:40:17,507
I didn't mean to each other,
silly girl.

655
00:40:17,637 --> 00:40:20,031
Though by your reaction,
perhaps I touched

656
00:40:20,161 --> 00:40:22,816
on a subject
that's a wee bit sore.

657
00:40:22,947 --> 00:40:23,948
For God's sake.

658
00:40:24,078 --> 00:40:25,428
I meant are you married at all!

659
00:40:25,558 --> 00:40:27,299
You've a figure suitable
for birthin'.

660
00:40:27,430 --> 00:40:28,431
Um...

661
00:40:28,561 --> 00:40:30,084
May I see your hand?

662
00:40:30,215 --> 00:40:31,390
Oh, gosh, yes.

663
00:40:31,521 --> 00:40:34,219
So, your love line...
Oh, here.

664
00:40:34,349 --> 00:40:35,786
All right, all right,
that's enough of that.

665
00:40:35,916 --> 00:40:37,527
They haven't come all this way
to hear you prattle on.

666
00:40:37,657 --> 00:40:38,615
I'm sorry.

667
00:40:38,745 --> 00:40:41,052
And you must be Voirrey.

668
00:40:41,748 --> 00:40:43,402
Pleased to meet you,
Dr. Fodor.

669
00:40:43,533 --> 00:40:47,188
Dr. Price mentioned that you are
an accomplished ventriloquist.

670
00:40:47,885 --> 00:40:50,017
Oh.

671
00:40:50,148 --> 00:40:52,455
I wouldn't consider
myself accomplished, sir.

672
00:40:53,194 --> 00:40:54,718
Self-taught, are we?

673
00:40:55,458 --> 00:40:58,939
Yes, sir. Used to make my dolls
talk, when I was a girl.

674
00:40:59,070 --> 00:41:00,419
One day I scared
my friend, Saoirse,

675
00:41:00,550 --> 00:41:02,726
'cause she thought
they were really talkin'.

676
00:41:02,856 --> 00:41:03,944
Fascinating.

677
00:41:04,075 --> 00:41:05,946
Oh, this is my hand, Errol.

678
00:41:06,077 --> 00:41:08,558
He, uh, sees to the house,
tends the crops with me.

679
00:41:08,688 --> 00:41:10,124
He lives in the guest house.

680
00:41:10,255 --> 00:41:11,909
I'm honored to make your
acquaintance, Dr. Fodor.

681
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:13,476
And I yours.

682
00:41:13,606 --> 00:41:15,129
And who are these?

683
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:16,827
Ralph and Rolf.

684
00:41:16,957 --> 00:41:18,655
Which one is this?

685
00:41:18,785 --> 00:41:19,743
That's Rolf.

686
00:41:19,873 --> 00:41:21,484
Rolf?

687
00:41:23,050 --> 00:41:25,531
Well, thank you
for introducing us

688
00:41:25,662 --> 00:41:28,752
to your lovely family,
uh, Mr. Irving.

689
00:41:28,882 --> 00:41:31,102
We have, as you said,
traveled a great distance,

690
00:41:31,232 --> 00:41:32,843
in the hope that we might meet

691
00:41:32,973 --> 00:41:34,845
another member
of your household.

692
00:41:34,975 --> 00:41:37,543
Yes, of course,
you're here to see Gef.

693
00:41:37,674 --> 00:41:38,979
Indeed.

694
00:41:39,110 --> 00:41:41,504
Now, uh, is the creature here?
May we see him?

695
00:41:42,069 --> 00:41:43,810
Creature? Uh, well.

696
00:41:43,941 --> 00:41:46,291
Gef is always here,
you know, you might say.

697
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:48,380
He's always about. Um...

698
00:41:49,468 --> 00:41:51,557
But he is not currently
in the house.

699
00:41:51,688 --> 00:41:55,126
At the moment.
He left about a week ago.

700
00:41:55,256 --> 00:41:57,084
Shortly after we informed him
you were comin' actually.

701
00:41:57,215 --> 00:41:59,826
He, um, he gets a bit upset,
you know, when we bring

702
00:41:59,957 --> 00:42:01,436
experts in to see him.

703
00:42:01,567 --> 00:42:03,134
Yeah, he sees it as an insult.

704
00:42:03,264 --> 00:42:04,744
He says he knows he exists,
so why's he got

705
00:42:04,875 --> 00:42:05,832
to prove it to anyone else?

706
00:42:05,963 --> 00:42:07,312
Ah.

707
00:42:07,442 --> 00:42:09,227
Nothin' to worry about,
you know, I assure you!

708
00:42:09,357 --> 00:42:11,925
As I said, Gef's always here,
this is his home.

709
00:42:12,056 --> 00:42:14,101
If I had to guess,
I would say the wee rascal's

710
00:42:14,232 --> 00:42:16,060
probably watchin' us right now.

711
00:42:16,190 --> 00:42:17,844
Yeah.

712
00:42:17,975 --> 00:42:19,019
Tryin' to get the measure of ya.

713
00:42:22,501 --> 00:42:24,155
No, but there's a cave,

714
00:42:24,285 --> 00:42:25,635
about half a mile
up the mountain,

715
00:42:25,765 --> 00:42:27,680
and often that
when he's not in the house

716
00:42:27,811 --> 00:42:29,334
that's where I'll find him.

717
00:42:29,464 --> 00:42:31,379
That's almost certain
where he's gonna be.

718
00:42:33,251 --> 00:42:35,079
Anyway, come inside
and have a cuppa tea.

719
00:42:35,209 --> 00:42:37,560
My wife's baked a raspberry
tart you've just got to taste.

720
00:42:37,690 --> 00:42:40,040
Oh, that sounds lovely.

721
00:42:40,171 --> 00:42:41,476
Come on. Come on.

722
00:43:03,063 --> 00:43:05,022
I've found that when Gef's not
here in the house with us,

723
00:43:05,152 --> 00:43:06,632
oftentimes he can be
found in a cave

724
00:43:06,763 --> 00:43:08,416
toward the top of the mountain.

725
00:43:08,547 --> 00:43:11,332
And I'd wager
that's where he is now.

726
00:43:11,463 --> 00:43:12,551
I see.

727
00:43:13,421 --> 00:43:14,771
A bit of a hike
to get there, though.

728
00:43:14,901 --> 00:43:16,294
You know, it's all uphill,

729
00:43:16,424 --> 00:43:17,643
the trail's a bit uneven.

730
00:43:18,339 --> 00:43:19,514
Doesn't bother Gef
much, I presume,

731
00:43:19,645 --> 00:43:20,733
with his quick
little feet.

732
00:43:20,864 --> 00:43:22,039
But might prove a bit
more trying

733
00:43:22,169 --> 00:43:23,431
for our awkward
human paws.

734
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,568
So... not here at the moment,
as we've determined.

735
00:43:30,874 --> 00:43:32,615
Don't know what else
to do with the day.

736
00:43:33,311 --> 00:43:34,486
Well...

737
00:43:35,269 --> 00:43:36,749
let's see that cave.

738
00:43:41,145 --> 00:43:43,669
Do you know how many breeds
of sheep there are in the world?

739
00:43:45,584 --> 00:43:47,934
I confess I do not.

740
00:43:48,065 --> 00:43:49,457
Many thousands.

741
00:43:52,069 --> 00:43:53,592
Although only a rare few

742
00:43:53,723 --> 00:43:55,159
are what we call
"fine wool"

743
00:43:55,289 --> 00:43:56,813
but they're not
as common here.

744
00:43:56,943 --> 00:43:59,337
Although I've had a lot
of success with Rambouillet,

745
00:43:59,467 --> 00:44:01,774
although they generally
don't prefer the rain.

746
00:44:04,168 --> 00:44:05,386
Fascinating.

747
00:44:07,171 --> 00:44:08,520
What's fascinating?

748
00:44:08,651 --> 00:44:09,826
Sheep.

749
00:44:09,956 --> 00:44:11,436
Oh. Oh.

750
00:44:22,447 --> 00:44:24,536
All right. Here we are.

751
00:44:24,667 --> 00:44:26,973
One of Gef's favorite
hiding spots.

752
00:44:28,322 --> 00:44:29,367
Gef!

753
00:44:30,455 --> 00:44:32,370
Gef! You in there, old boy?

754
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:35,678
I got Dr. Fodor and his lovely
assistant here to see you.

755
00:44:36,287 --> 00:44:37,941
See, the cave goes in
a fair bit.

756
00:44:38,071 --> 00:44:39,986
Because he ain't answerin'
and we can't see him,

757
00:44:40,117 --> 00:44:41,814
doesn't mean he ain't here.

758
00:44:46,776 --> 00:44:48,995
You know, perhaps--
you don't have to, of course,

759
00:44:49,126 --> 00:44:52,259
but perhaps if you
announce yourself to him,

760
00:44:52,390 --> 00:44:55,132
just say there's absolutely
no doubt in your mind he's real

761
00:44:55,262 --> 00:44:57,525
and that might assuage
any concerns he may have,

762
00:44:57,656 --> 00:44:59,136
and convince him
to show himself.

763
00:45:01,138 --> 00:45:02,922
What exactly would you
like me to say?

764
00:45:03,053 --> 00:45:05,098
Just that.
Just tell him who you are,

765
00:45:05,229 --> 00:45:06,578
and that you're certain
he's real,

766
00:45:06,709 --> 00:45:07,884
and that you mean
no harm to him.

767
00:45:08,014 --> 00:45:09,320
Not here to
vivisect him or anything.

768
00:45:09,450 --> 00:45:10,974
Let's just say hello.

769
00:45:11,104 --> 00:45:12,627
- Hello?
- Hm.

770
00:45:12,758 --> 00:45:15,500
Hello. Very well.

771
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,335
Hello.

772
00:45:25,902 --> 00:45:26,903
Hello, Gef.

773
00:45:28,774 --> 00:45:31,037
- Go on, go on.
- Right.

774
00:45:31,821 --> 00:45:34,475
My name is Dr. Nandor Fodor.

775
00:45:35,259 --> 00:45:36,608
And, um...

776
00:45:37,609 --> 00:45:40,438
Mr. Irving has instructed me
to inform you

777
00:45:40,568 --> 00:45:44,659
that I believe that,
uh, you exist.

778
00:45:44,790 --> 00:45:46,139
And, uh...

779
00:45:48,054 --> 00:45:52,885
I would add that, um, if you are
currently residing in this cave,

780
00:45:53,016 --> 00:45:56,933
would you be amenable
to venturing out

781
00:45:57,063 --> 00:45:59,587
so that we may converse?

782
00:46:01,981 --> 00:46:04,244
I am very excited

783
00:46:04,375 --> 00:46:06,029
to make your acquaintance.

784
00:46:09,423 --> 00:46:10,598
- How was that?
- That was brilliant.

785
00:46:10,729 --> 00:46:11,991
- Really good.
- Brilliant.

786
00:46:12,122 --> 00:46:13,253
Yeah.

787
00:46:13,384 --> 00:46:15,081
You know, if he is in there,

788
00:46:15,212 --> 00:46:17,170
I've absolutely
no doubt in my mind

789
00:46:17,301 --> 00:46:18,345
that speech is certain
to draw him out.

790
00:46:18,476 --> 00:46:19,782
Really?

791
00:46:25,439 --> 00:46:27,790
Damn. Oh, damn.

792
00:46:28,703 --> 00:46:29,966
What?

793
00:46:30,096 --> 00:46:32,142
I'm truly sorry, Dr. Fodor.
I really am.

794
00:46:32,795 --> 00:46:35,101
Appears our little friend
isn't here at the moment.

795
00:46:35,885 --> 00:46:37,451
Perhaps he is in town.

796
00:46:37,582 --> 00:46:39,758
You know, probably slipped past
us as we were climbing up.

797
00:46:40,324 --> 00:46:41,934
Could be back at the house,
playing in Voirrey's room.

798
00:46:42,065 --> 00:46:43,240
He's got a little space there...

799
00:46:43,370 --> 00:46:45,068
Yeah, I know. I know.

800
00:46:45,198 --> 00:46:47,331
I did read Dr. Price's diary.

801
00:46:47,461 --> 00:46:48,811
Indeed. Well...

802
00:46:49,812 --> 00:46:52,336
Seeing as Gef isn't gonna
grace us with his presence,

803
00:46:52,902 --> 00:46:55,034
maybe we should venture
into the cave anyway?

804
00:46:57,602 --> 00:47:00,605
You see, one unfortunate
characteristic of Gef

805
00:47:00,735 --> 00:47:02,825
is that he can be a bit
of a thief at times.

806
00:47:02,955 --> 00:47:05,001
You know,
often we'll find this or that,

807
00:47:05,131 --> 00:47:07,568
trinket or bauble missing,
a trifle from the kitchen.

808
00:47:07,699 --> 00:47:09,788
Others in town have reported
similar incidents.

809
00:47:09,919 --> 00:47:11,050
Maybe...

810
00:47:11,529 --> 00:47:14,053
he has been ferreting away
some of his plunder here?

811
00:47:15,141 --> 00:47:16,273
Yeah.

812
00:47:17,317 --> 00:47:19,145
Please, after you.

813
00:47:20,146 --> 00:47:21,669
Well, I'll just leave
my bag here,

814
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,237
because if you fall
I'll need my hands.

815
00:47:24,368 --> 00:47:25,412
Yes, you go first.

816
00:47:25,543 --> 00:47:27,110
- Be careful.
- Yes.

817
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:29,547
Yes, yes, as I suspected.

818
00:47:30,243 --> 00:47:32,115
A veritable trove
of ill-gotten goods.

819
00:47:32,811 --> 00:47:34,117
Come on, come see.

820
00:47:34,595 --> 00:47:35,814
Oh, yeah.

821
00:47:37,033 --> 00:47:38,512
God.

822
00:47:38,643 --> 00:47:40,166
Yes, look at this.

823
00:47:42,908 --> 00:47:43,996
I would say...

824
00:47:45,171 --> 00:47:47,913
unquestionably,
that's Gef's as well.

825
00:47:48,044 --> 00:47:50,133
Want to take that back to London
with you, for testing?

826
00:47:50,263 --> 00:47:51,699
Thank you, Mr. Irving.

827
00:47:51,830 --> 00:47:54,267
I'll make sure this gets
safely back to London.

828
00:47:54,398 --> 00:47:55,660
Yeah.

829
00:47:56,313 --> 00:47:59,272
I did once
see a mongoose in India, 1929.

830
00:47:59,403 --> 00:48:00,883
Oh, right. Did it talk?

831
00:48:08,673 --> 00:48:10,022
What are you laughing at?

832
00:48:10,936 --> 00:48:11,937
Nothing.

833
00:48:14,287 --> 00:48:17,334
Was there a pair of women's
undergarments back there?

834
00:48:23,383 --> 00:48:25,472
Look, from what I hear,
everybody on this island

835
00:48:25,603 --> 00:48:27,039
has their Gef story.

836
00:48:27,170 --> 00:48:29,433
An account of their encounter
with this creature.

837
00:48:29,563 --> 00:48:30,738
Tell me yours.

838
00:48:32,784 --> 00:48:35,439
- I got no Gef story.
- No?

839
00:48:35,918 --> 00:48:37,310
I find that incredible,

840
00:48:37,441 --> 00:48:39,834
considering you reside
on the Irving Farm.

841
00:48:42,315 --> 00:48:43,926
I got no Gef story.

842
00:48:45,144 --> 00:48:46,711
You and I both know...

843
00:48:48,321 --> 00:48:49,801
there ain't no Gef.

844
00:48:50,802 --> 00:48:52,021
What did you just say?

845
00:48:53,979 --> 00:48:55,372
What did you just say?

846
00:48:59,115 --> 00:49:01,204
Oh, golly. Oh golly, lemonade.

847
00:49:01,334 --> 00:49:02,857
Um, I'm going to need
to use the loo

848
00:49:02,988 --> 00:49:04,511
before we brave
that road again.

849
00:49:04,642 --> 00:49:06,513
Could you just...
Thank you.

850
00:49:08,341 --> 00:49:10,561
Just... Thank you!

851
00:49:14,957 --> 00:49:16,262
All right.

Oh. Hello, Ms. Anne.

862
00:49:58,826 --> 00:50:00,959
Hello, Voirrey.
Uh, sorry for the intrusion.

863
00:50:01,090 --> 00:50:04,310
I was just coming upstairs
and I heard you singing.

864
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:09,924
May I come in?

865
00:50:17,062 --> 00:50:18,890
Gosh, you have such
a lovely room.

866
00:50:19,934 --> 00:50:22,154
That was Noel Coward, the song?

867
00:50:23,851 --> 00:50:25,244
You have a lovely voice.

868
00:50:26,115 --> 00:50:28,508
Thank you. So do you.

869
00:50:29,683 --> 00:50:31,990
Oh. Well, that's very kind
of you to say.

870
00:50:34,862 --> 00:50:38,475
Would you mind telling me
a bit more about your talent?

871
00:50:39,041 --> 00:50:40,607
I could teach you if you like.

872
00:50:40,738 --> 00:50:42,392
It's quite simple, really.

873
00:50:42,957 --> 00:50:44,524
I'm not sure I'd be any good.

874
00:50:44,655 --> 00:50:46,004
It's quite simple.

875
00:50:47,484 --> 00:50:48,963
I promise.

876
00:50:49,094 --> 00:50:52,184
You... you just...
you just did it.

877
00:50:52,315 --> 00:50:53,881
That's incredible.

878
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:57,929
Keep your mouth mostly closed.

879
00:50:58,060 --> 00:50:59,496
Your tongue loose.

880
00:50:59,626 --> 00:51:01,150
There are certain sounds
that are easier to make

881
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,368
without moving your lips.

882
00:51:02,499 --> 00:51:03,543
Oh.

883
00:51:03,674 --> 00:51:04,718
Try it.

884
00:51:05,284 --> 00:51:06,459
Now?

885
00:51:06,590 --> 00:51:09,071
Now. Speak.

886
00:51:10,420 --> 00:51:11,595
Hello.

887
00:51:11,725 --> 00:51:12,813
Hello.

888
00:51:12,944 --> 00:51:13,901
Hello.

889
00:51:15,773 --> 00:51:18,167
Yes. I should need a bit
more practice, I think.

890
00:51:18,297 --> 00:51:19,472
Indeed.

891
00:51:19,951 --> 00:51:21,996
The way you throw your voice?

892
00:51:22,736 --> 00:51:24,347
It's a marvel.

893
00:51:24,477 --> 00:51:25,783
It is.

894
00:51:26,740 --> 00:51:30,092
That is something I would be
very interested in learning.

895
00:51:30,222 --> 00:51:31,658
I could teach you the theory,
I think.

896
00:51:31,789 --> 00:51:33,965
But it requires a lot
of practice.

897
00:51:34,096 --> 00:51:35,445
Oh, I'm sure.

898
00:51:37,011 --> 00:51:39,971
Humans can actually determine
from whence a sound comes.

899
00:51:40,580 --> 00:51:43,714
We hear it with our eyes
as much as we do our ears.

900
00:51:44,454 --> 00:51:48,022
Sound has no direction,
only modulation.

901
00:51:49,067 --> 00:51:51,678
Sounds that are further away
sound different...

902
00:51:52,244 --> 00:51:53,289
than those nearby.

903
00:51:54,507 --> 00:51:59,556
Oh. Gosh. It's...
it's fascinating.

904
00:52:01,645 --> 00:52:05,562
<i>♪ Someday, I'll find you ♪</i>

905
00:52:05,692 --> 00:52:09,392

907
00:52:21,404 --> 00:52:22,666
You are a wonder.

908
00:52:23,362 --> 00:52:24,537
Why don't you give it a try?

909
00:52:24,668 --> 00:52:26,583
Oh, I have no idea how.

910
00:52:29,977 --> 00:52:31,153
Just try.

911
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,809
Focus all your attention
on to that spot on the wall,

912
00:52:38,247 --> 00:52:39,596
and make it sing.

913
00:52:40,684 --> 00:52:41,815
Make it sing.

914
00:52:43,165 --> 00:52:44,862
- I don't know how.
- Try.

915
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,783
<i>♪ Moonlight behind... ♪</i>

916
00:52:52,913 --> 00:52:54,915
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

917
00:52:55,046 --> 00:52:57,048
Put your voice into the space.

918
00:52:57,657 --> 00:52:59,355
Make the space sing.

919
00:53:02,184 --> 00:53:04,577
All right. But I don't think
it's going to work.

920
00:53:07,580 --> 00:53:12,019
<i>♪ Someday, I'll find you ♪</i>

921
00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:16,894
<i>♪ Moonlight behind you ♪</i>

922
00:53:17,024 --> 00:53:23,379

925
00:53:32,910 --> 00:53:34,564
They're, um, they're
gonna be waiting for me.

926
00:53:34,694 --> 00:53:36,218
I have to go.

927
00:54:05,377 --> 00:54:09,033
I sincerely apologize
for having brought you here.

928
00:54:09,163 --> 00:54:10,774
Oh, there's no need
to apologize.

929
00:54:11,253 --> 00:54:12,384
They're very kind people.

930
00:54:14,517 --> 00:54:16,606
Lunatics. The lot of them.

931
00:54:16,736 --> 00:54:18,651
Particularly the patriarch.

932
00:54:18,782 --> 00:54:21,828
I remain entirely mystified
as to their motives,

933
00:54:21,959 --> 00:54:26,355
but am certain that
this is an inexplicable farce.

934
00:54:27,921 --> 00:54:30,620
The only one among them
with any sense whatsoever

935
00:54:30,750 --> 00:54:33,057
would seem
to be their man, Errol.

936
00:54:34,058 --> 00:54:35,755
Well, I think they're all
very kind.

937
00:54:36,452 --> 00:54:37,496
There was...

938
00:54:39,324 --> 00:54:41,587
There was a pair
of undergarments

939
00:54:41,718 --> 00:54:43,241
in that cave today.

940
00:54:43,372 --> 00:54:44,721
Did you notice that?

941
00:54:45,635 --> 00:54:48,246
A woman's small clothes.

942
00:54:52,032 --> 00:54:54,513
Do you really think
there's no possible chance

943
00:54:54,644 --> 00:54:55,775
they're telling the truth?

944
00:54:56,559 --> 00:54:58,212
I beg your pardon.

945
00:54:58,343 --> 00:55:00,606
I know today was unusual.

946
00:55:01,172 --> 00:55:05,132
And I know that
the Irvings are unusual.

947
00:55:05,263 --> 00:55:08,005
This thought keeps going round
and round in my head.

948
00:55:08,135 --> 00:55:09,572
Why?

949
00:55:10,224 --> 00:55:12,705
If it is as you said
and it's all a great charade,

950
00:55:12,836 --> 00:55:15,491
then what is
the Irvings' motive?

951
00:55:16,535 --> 00:55:19,930
Ere the arrival of Gef--At the alleged arrival!

952
00:55:20,060 --> 00:55:22,149
Ere the alleged incident,

953
00:55:23,237 --> 00:55:26,066
the Irvings were
a well-to-do family,

954
00:55:26,197 --> 00:55:30,375
they've a pristine reputation
they're financially secure.

955
00:55:31,245 --> 00:55:32,551
Didn't strike me as con artists.

956
00:55:34,248 --> 00:55:36,250
If they were charging
admission, perhaps.

957
00:55:38,862 --> 00:55:41,865
Do you really have
no theories whatsoever?

958
00:55:41,995 --> 00:55:43,867
Now that you've met them.

959
00:55:43,997 --> 00:55:48,045
If it were an individual person
suffering from these delusions--

960
00:55:48,175 --> 00:55:51,309
if it were just Mr. Irving
espousing the existence

961
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,224
of this creature
at the behest of his family

962
00:55:53,355 --> 00:55:56,096
and the townspeople,
then perhaps I could formulate

963
00:55:56,227 --> 00:55:58,142
a thorough
psychological evaluation.

964
00:55:58,272 --> 00:56:01,406
But the fact that
it is the entire family,

965
00:56:01,537 --> 00:56:03,713
the entire town,
it would seem...

966
00:56:04,714 --> 00:56:07,325
So you think it is some
sort of mass hysteria?

967
00:56:09,980 --> 00:56:12,112
And you do not believe,

968
00:56:13,462 --> 00:56:15,507
it is in the realm
of possibility

969
00:56:15,638 --> 00:56:18,728
that the Irvings are telling
the truth and that Gef is real?

970
00:56:20,077 --> 00:56:21,470
Do you?

971
00:56:32,568 --> 00:56:33,569
Anne?

972
00:56:34,439 --> 00:56:35,962
Is everything...

973
00:56:36,746 --> 00:56:38,878
Sorry to disturb you
so late, sir.

974
00:56:39,792 --> 00:56:41,403
But there's a call for you.

975
00:56:43,013 --> 00:56:44,275
A call?

976
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,193
At this hour?

977
00:56:49,323 --> 00:56:50,368
From whom?

978
00:56:50,499 --> 00:56:51,848
Is it from America?

979
00:56:53,153 --> 00:56:55,112
Not from America, sir.

980
00:56:55,242 --> 00:56:56,809
The call...

981
00:56:57,897 --> 00:56:59,072
it is from...

982
00:57:01,205 --> 00:57:02,249
him.

983
00:57:17,874 --> 00:57:19,136
Hello.

984
00:57:22,792 --> 00:57:25,447
Hello, this is Dr. Nandor Fodor.

985
00:57:29,494 --> 00:57:30,713
There does not appear
to be anyone

986
00:57:30,843 --> 00:57:32,758
on the other end of the line.

987
00:57:32,889 --> 00:57:34,847
<i>Dr. Fodor...</i> Yes.

988
00:57:34,978 --> 00:57:38,677
Yes. Hello. Uh...
with whom am I speaking, please?

989
00:57:38,808 --> 00:57:40,418
<i>I am a freak!</i>

990
00:57:40,549 --> 00:57:42,376
<i>I have hands and I have feet!</i>

991
00:57:42,507 --> 00:57:44,857
<i>And if you ever saw me,
you would be paralyzed,</i>

992
00:57:44,988 --> 00:57:48,905
<i>petrified, mummified,
and turned to a pillar of salt!</i>

993
00:57:49,035 --> 00:57:50,210
All right.

994
00:57:50,341 --> 00:57:52,082
<i>I am the fifth dimension!</i>

995
00:57:52,212 --> 00:57:54,432
<i>I am the eighth wonder
of the world.</i>

996
00:57:54,563 --> 00:57:56,347
<i>I can split an atom.</i>

997
00:57:56,478 --> 00:57:57,870
Uh, yes. Uh...

998
00:57:58,001 --> 00:58:00,177
Gef, is-is that you?

999
00:58:00,307 --> 00:58:02,353
<i>I am the Holy Ghost!</i>

1000
00:58:03,267 --> 00:58:05,661
Yes, that-that-that
is wonderful.

1001
00:58:05,791 --> 00:58:11,057
Uh, Gef, I went today
with Mr. Irving to a cave

1002
00:58:11,188 --> 00:58:14,757
where you have, uh, previously
been observed and, uh...

1003
00:58:15,322 --> 00:58:17,803
well, had you been there, you
would have heard me proclaim,

1004
00:58:17,934 --> 00:58:23,069
in no uncertain terms,
my sincere belief in your...

1005
00:58:24,201 --> 00:58:26,377
uh, well, existence.

1006
00:58:29,598 --> 00:58:32,470
Um, and so I suppose
I should say,

1007
00:58:32,601 --> 00:58:35,038
I would very much like
to meet you in person,

1008
00:58:35,168 --> 00:58:37,257
if you were so inclined.

1009
00:58:37,388 --> 00:58:41,871
Um, I promise you,
I have no malicious intentions

1010
00:58:42,001 --> 00:58:43,655
towards you whatsoever.

1011
00:58:46,179 --> 00:58:48,965
<i>I shall never see you again.</i>

1012
00:58:49,095 --> 00:58:50,357
Again?

1013
00:58:52,098 --> 00:58:55,449
Did-did you see me today
at-the-at the cave?

1014
00:59:00,933 --> 00:59:02,413
<i>Your father.</i>

1015
00:59:06,373 --> 00:59:07,549
What about him?

1016
00:59:10,595 --> 00:59:12,771
<i>Hm. That's what
your father said to you.</i>

1017
00:59:12,902 --> 00:59:14,468
<i>Before you left.</i>

1018
00:59:14,599 --> 00:59:17,428
<i>I shall never see you again.</i>

1019
00:59:21,911 --> 00:59:22,955
What?

1020
00:59:25,305 --> 00:59:26,742
<i>Tomorrow.</i>

1021
00:59:26,872 --> 00:59:32,051
<i>Tomorrow I shall let you
see me.</i>

1022
00:59:33,836 --> 00:59:36,099
How could you know
that about my father?

1023
00:59:38,797 --> 00:59:39,929
Hello?

1024
01:00:12,483 --> 01:00:16,008
I am-- I mean, was
something of a public figure

1025
01:00:16,139 --> 01:00:21,405
and some scientific
and pseudo-scientific journals

1026
01:00:21,535 --> 01:00:23,886
have published articles
about me, haven't they?

1027
01:00:24,016 --> 01:00:25,714
And...

1028
01:00:25,844 --> 01:00:27,193
theoretically, if you wish

1029
01:00:27,324 --> 01:00:29,369
to discover certain facts
about my life,

1030
01:00:29,500 --> 01:00:32,111
how I left Budapest
for New York,

1031
01:00:32,242 --> 01:00:34,113
and then, surmise how...

1032
01:00:34,244 --> 01:00:36,942
a-a certain conversation
may have gone.

1033
01:01:01,663 --> 01:01:03,969
Fine morning to the both of you!
I trust you slept soundly?

1034
01:01:04,100 --> 01:01:05,014
Yes. Thank you.

1035
01:01:05,144 --> 01:01:06,276
No.

1036
01:01:07,277 --> 01:01:08,452
Oh.

1037
01:01:14,937 --> 01:01:17,374
I'll admit I was very surprised,
waking to hear

1038
01:01:17,504 --> 01:01:20,072
the news that Gef had extended
an invitation to you personally!

1039
01:01:20,203 --> 01:01:22,205
What? He called
you on the phone, did he?

1040
01:01:22,901 --> 01:01:25,512
Someone called me last night. Yes.

1041
01:01:25,643 --> 01:01:27,384
I wonder whose telephone
he accosted for that purpose,

1042
01:01:27,514 --> 01:01:28,646
the wee devil.

1043
01:01:28,777 --> 01:01:30,169
The Guileys, I'd wager.

1044
01:01:30,300 --> 01:01:31,431
They've got an old
candlestick phone

1045
01:01:31,562 --> 01:01:33,390
right next to the window
in their foyer.

1046
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,871
It would've been easy for him
to slip in and dial you.

1047
01:01:36,001 --> 01:01:37,524
He's got such
nimble little fingers.

1048
01:01:37,655 --> 01:01:39,178
Does he now?

1049
01:01:49,972 --> 01:01:51,582
Hmm. Hmm.

1050
01:01:52,844 --> 01:01:53,845
Hmm.

1051
01:01:56,369 --> 01:01:57,893
Here we are.

1052
01:01:58,023 --> 01:01:59,808
Hmm.
Thank you, love.

1053
01:02:01,244 --> 01:02:03,725
Uh, will Voirrey
be joining us today?

1054
01:02:03,855 --> 01:02:07,685
I-I'm afraid she's not
feeling well, poor girl.

1055
01:02:07,816 --> 01:02:09,600
She's got a mild allergy
to ragwort,

1056
01:02:09,731 --> 01:02:12,081
if you can believe that.

1057
01:02:12,211 --> 01:02:15,127
So summers can be a bit...

1058
01:02:15,737 --> 01:02:17,173
I see.

1059
01:02:19,305 --> 01:02:21,220
Oh! I nearly forgot!

1060
01:02:34,538 --> 01:02:38,107
<i>Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science.</i>

1061
01:02:38,237 --> 01:02:39,891
What a mouthful!

1062
01:02:40,022 --> 01:02:41,980
It arrived at
Pavel's yesterday,

1063
01:02:42,111 --> 01:02:44,417
shortly before
their usual closing time.

1064
01:02:44,548 --> 01:02:47,551
But they waited for me
to rush over and pick it up.

1065
01:02:48,552 --> 01:02:50,946
I can't wait to read it!

1066
01:02:51,424 --> 01:02:54,123
I'll give you my honest
thoughts, when I've finished.

1067
01:02:55,820 --> 01:02:57,169
Yesterday, you say.

1068
01:02:58,867 --> 01:03:01,260
Well, I, uh,
I hope you enjoy it.

1069
01:03:02,218 --> 01:03:04,524
"The only comprehensive survey

1070
01:03:04,655 --> 01:03:07,832
of every kind of psychical
phenomena known to mankind".

1071
01:03:10,095 --> 01:03:13,098
Well, I presume
Gef's not in it.

1072
01:03:13,795 --> 01:03:16,362
So you'll have to write
a sequel after today.

1073
01:03:23,282 --> 01:03:25,502
Looks like you weren't the only
one Gef called last night!

1074
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,164
Well, it's, uh...

1075
01:03:35,294 --> 01:03:37,166
It's a pleasure to receive
so many of you here today.

1076
01:03:37,296 --> 01:03:39,211
I hope you'll excuse
my not having provided

1077
01:03:39,342 --> 01:03:40,952
adequate refreshments
for the occasion.

1078
01:03:41,083 --> 01:03:43,041
And, had my wife and I known
so many of you were comin',

1079
01:03:43,172 --> 01:03:44,956
we'd have tea and biscuits
for the lot of ya.

1080
01:03:45,087 --> 01:03:47,350
Gef failed to inform us
he had spoken to so many of you.

1081
01:03:48,307 --> 01:03:49,700
Called me in the dead
of night, he did!

1082
01:03:50,353 --> 01:03:52,094
Asked after sister
and her drinkin'.

1083
01:03:52,224 --> 01:03:54,270
How in the bloody hell
did he know about that?

1084
01:03:55,575 --> 01:03:57,142
Called me Candy.

1085
01:03:57,273 --> 01:03:59,318
Nobody's called me that
since me grandma

1086
01:03:59,449 --> 01:04:00,972
passed on 20 years ago!

1087
01:04:01,103 --> 01:04:03,105
Yes! Yes, I know
we're all very excited!

1088
01:04:03,235 --> 01:04:05,977
But please, please.
Now as I was saying...

1089
01:04:06,108 --> 01:04:07,849
We've got guests who've
traveled a great distance

1090
01:04:07,979 --> 01:04:11,026
in order to investigate
our friend Gef.

1091
01:04:11,635 --> 01:04:14,768
That's Dr. Nandor Fodor
and his assistant, Anne.

1092
01:04:14,899 --> 01:04:17,641
Now, Dr. Fodor is one
of the world's leading experts

1093
01:04:17,771 --> 01:04:19,904
in the field of the paranormal.

1094
01:04:20,035 --> 01:04:23,865
A term I think we can all agree,
aptly describes our friend Gef.

1095
01:04:24,822 --> 01:04:26,215
Now as we all know,

1096
01:04:26,345 --> 01:04:28,086
Gef can be a bit
of a skittish fellow at times.

1097
01:04:28,217 --> 01:04:29,740
I mean,
I was genuinely surprised

1098
01:04:29,871 --> 01:04:31,960
he was open to this viewing. So...

1099
01:04:32,090 --> 01:04:34,788
Unfortunately,
it is all gonna be a bit brief.

1100
01:04:34,919 --> 01:04:36,616
While I'd like you all
to be able to talk,

1101
01:04:36,747 --> 01:04:38,314
you know,
if we all start shouting

1102
01:04:38,444 --> 01:04:41,273
he's just gonna get
agitated and run off. So...

1103
01:04:41,404 --> 01:04:43,449
Do I have your agreement
from the lot of you

1104
01:04:43,580 --> 01:04:46,191
that you're gonna do your best
to remain calm?

1105
01:04:46,322 --> 01:04:47,323
Yes.

1106
01:04:47,453 --> 01:04:48,846
- Yeah.
- Really?

1107
01:04:48,977 --> 01:04:50,021
Well, yeah.

1108
01:04:50,152 --> 01:04:51,109
Yeah.

1109
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:52,937
Right then.

1110
01:04:53,068 --> 01:04:54,199
This way, please.

1111
01:05:09,475 --> 01:05:11,390
Right.
Just take a step back, please.

1112
01:05:11,956 --> 01:05:13,610
It's a bit dark in here,
isn't it?

1113
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:16,221
Now, we're gonna
take back the sheet.

1114
01:05:16,352 --> 01:05:17,527
But I think it's only fair

1115
01:05:17,657 --> 01:05:18,789
that we allow
our distinguished guests

1116
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,051
to be the first to address Gef.

1117
01:05:21,835 --> 01:05:23,054
Go on.

1118
01:05:30,757 --> 01:05:33,804
Is-is that him?
There? In the box?

1119
01:05:33,935 --> 01:05:35,893
That little...
little tuft of fur?

1120
01:05:36,024 --> 01:05:37,939
Looks like he's bein'
a bit shy after all.

1121
01:05:38,765 --> 01:05:42,117
Well, can you tell him
to come out so we can see him?

1122
01:05:42,247 --> 01:05:45,685
Can you tell him
to come out so we can see him?

1123
01:05:47,861 --> 01:05:50,690
Ask him your question now,
before he has a change of heart.

1124
01:05:50,821 --> 01:05:55,217
Uh, yes, Gef. Hello. Thank you
for letting us meet you in...

1125
01:05:56,218 --> 01:05:57,654
person at last.

1126
01:05:57,784 --> 01:06:00,787
Um, Mr. Irving said that
we could ask you a question.

1127
01:06:00,918 --> 01:06:02,398
Is-is that all right?

1128
01:06:02,528 --> 01:06:04,966
Hmm... yes.

1129
01:06:06,097 --> 01:06:08,708
Right.
When we spoke on the telephone

1130
01:06:08,839 --> 01:06:11,189
the other night, uh,
you said something.

1131
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,496
You repeated something
that my father said to me

1132
01:06:13,626 --> 01:06:15,498
a long time ago.

1133
01:06:15,628 --> 01:06:18,327
Um, how did you know
that he said those words?

1134
01:06:18,457 --> 01:06:22,635
How did you know that he told me
he would never see me again?

1135
01:06:22,766 --> 01:06:26,944
I have seen beyond
the bounds of infinity

1136
01:06:27,075 --> 01:06:30,600
and drawn down
demons from the stars.

1137
01:06:30,730 --> 01:06:35,561
I have harnessed the shadows
that stride from world to world

1138
01:06:35,692 --> 01:06:41,480
to sow death and madness.

1139
01:06:42,481 --> 01:06:43,874
Come on,
get him outside.

1140
01:06:44,005 --> 01:06:45,136
Let's give him some air.

1141
01:06:45,267 --> 01:06:47,269
This may be a bullshit.
Take a look.

1142
01:06:49,662 --> 01:06:51,447
I am-- I am deeply sorry,
Dr. Fodor.

1143
01:06:51,577 --> 01:06:53,449
All the commotion
will have scared poor Gef off.

1144
01:06:53,579 --> 01:06:56,800
But as I said to you before,
he always returns, in time.

1145
01:07:16,341 --> 01:07:18,256
You have been here all along.

1146
01:07:19,953 --> 01:07:22,391
You know that
this is a great farce.

1147
01:07:23,653 --> 01:07:26,699
You know that
these people are mad.

1148
01:07:27,961 --> 01:07:29,789
And yet you do nothing.

1149
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,313
You indulge them.

1150
01:07:32,140 --> 01:07:33,184
So do you.

1151
01:07:34,359 --> 01:07:37,493
I am here in the name
of scientific research.

1152
01:07:37,623 --> 01:07:38,711
If you say so.

1153
01:07:40,670 --> 01:07:42,541
None of this bothers you.

1154
01:07:42,672 --> 01:07:44,804
These people obsessed
with an entity that they cannot

1155
01:07:44,935 --> 01:07:46,676
even reliably prove is real.

1156
01:07:46,806 --> 01:07:49,722
That it is adults
perpetuating this nonsense.

1157
01:07:49,853 --> 01:07:52,421
Men and women who are,
for all intents and purposes,

1158
01:07:52,551 --> 01:07:54,988
ordinary, functioning
members of society.

1159
01:07:56,077 --> 01:07:57,556
Why do you care so much?

1160
01:07:58,949 --> 01:08:01,908
It is my job to care.
To understand.

1161
01:08:04,041 --> 01:08:07,958
All anyone wants in this
world... is to be happy.

1162
01:08:09,481 --> 01:08:10,917
Maybe you'd be happy
if you let people believe

1163
01:08:11,048 --> 01:08:12,397
what they want to believe.

1164
01:08:13,964 --> 01:08:17,837
Your perspective is endearing
but childishly simplistic.

1165
01:08:18,316 --> 01:08:22,320
Who in this world
is happier than a child, hmm?

1166
01:08:23,495 --> 01:08:24,540
Maybe...

1167
01:08:25,758 --> 01:08:28,109
simple ain't so bad, eh?

1168
01:08:28,239 --> 01:08:30,328
But these people are lying!

1169
01:08:30,459 --> 01:08:31,721
Oh, everyone lies.

1170
01:08:31,851 --> 01:08:33,070
They are intentionally,

1171
01:08:33,201 --> 01:08:35,768
inexplicably misleading others!

1172
01:08:36,508 --> 01:08:38,119
People love that mongoose.

1173
01:08:38,249 --> 01:08:39,816
The one that does not exist.

1174
01:08:40,556 --> 01:08:42,166
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1175
01:08:44,864 --> 01:08:47,780
Well, I intend to expose
that they're lying.

1176
01:08:49,434 --> 01:08:50,479
Okay.

1177
01:08:55,266 --> 01:08:57,312
You must be
a lot of fun at parties.

1178
01:08:57,442 --> 01:08:58,487
Excuse me?

1179
01:09:01,664 --> 01:09:05,058
I am invited to and attend
many parties.

1180
01:09:05,189 --> 01:09:06,886
More than you,
I would wager!

1181
01:09:07,017 --> 01:09:10,629
And I have many interesting
conversations at these parties!

1182
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,936
Enlightening,
entertaining discussions

1183
01:09:13,066 --> 01:09:14,807
with people
from every field of study

1184
01:09:14,938 --> 01:09:16,069
and strata of society.

1185
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:17,462
Yeah.

1186
01:09:17,941 --> 01:09:20,073
When you walk away,
they call you an asshole.

1187
01:09:24,643 --> 01:09:25,818
Asshole.

1188
01:09:31,781 --> 01:09:33,652
Whereby,
I previously stated

1189
01:09:33,783 --> 01:09:35,263
that the housekeeper, Errol,

1190
01:09:35,393 --> 01:09:37,265
was the only person
at the Irving estate

1191
01:09:37,395 --> 01:09:40,050
with even an ounce of sense...

1192
01:09:40,181 --> 01:09:42,400
I rescind that statement now.

1193
01:09:42,531 --> 01:09:45,273
I believe he may be
the craziest of them all.

1194
01:09:46,012 --> 01:09:48,406
"Why do you care so much?"

1195
01:09:48,537 --> 01:09:50,147
he had the gall to ask me.

1196
01:09:51,931 --> 01:09:55,587
With casual disregard
for my almost 20 years

1197
01:09:55,718 --> 01:09:57,415
of research in this field.

1198
01:09:58,068 --> 01:09:59,678
Research which, I may say,

1199
01:09:59,809 --> 01:10:02,203
has proven invaluable to many.

1200
01:10:06,685 --> 01:10:09,732
"Let people believe what
they want to believe."

1201
01:10:09,862 --> 01:10:12,865
That doesn't seem like
the worst advice in the world.

1202
01:10:16,260 --> 01:10:18,044
Should I have remained a lawyer?

1203
01:10:18,871 --> 01:10:21,047
You always said
you hated practicing law.

1204
01:10:21,178 --> 01:10:22,266
I did.

1205
01:10:22,919 --> 01:10:24,355
My father...

1206
01:10:24,486 --> 01:10:27,445
his dream was that I remain
in Budapest

1207
01:10:27,576 --> 01:10:29,230
and marry Hanna Varga.

1208
01:10:31,144 --> 01:10:33,190
A simple life.

1209
01:10:35,236 --> 01:10:36,802
Would that have made you happy?

1210
01:10:37,977 --> 01:10:39,022
No.

1211
01:10:41,111 --> 01:10:43,113
But I might still be
with my father now

1212
01:10:43,244 --> 01:10:46,769
and not on this accursed island
chasing an imaginary mongoose.

1213
01:10:52,209 --> 01:10:53,950
He's not imaginary.

1214
01:10:56,213 --> 01:10:57,258
I'm sorry. What?

1215
01:10:58,824 --> 01:11:00,043
Gef.

1216
01:11:00,913 --> 01:11:02,959
I think he not only exists,

1217
01:11:03,089 --> 01:11:04,787
much as the Irvings
have described him,

1218
01:11:04,917 --> 01:11:06,484
but I'm certain of it.

1219
01:11:06,615 --> 01:11:08,225
You're certain of it?

1220
01:11:21,282 --> 01:11:24,023
You had better
not fucking be serious.

1221
01:11:25,329 --> 01:11:26,678
Good night, Nandor.

1222
01:11:26,809 --> 01:11:28,506
It's Dr. Fodor!

1223
01:11:29,507 --> 01:11:30,856
And good night!

1224
01:11:39,474 --> 01:11:41,127
Maurice!

1225
01:11:43,086 --> 01:11:44,305
Dr. Fodor.

1226
01:11:46,219 --> 01:11:49,745
I have just received a call
from the Irving family.

1227
01:11:52,487 --> 01:11:53,836
I see.

1228
01:11:53,966 --> 01:11:56,055
And they have requested that I

1229
01:11:56,186 --> 01:12:00,712
come up to the-- to perform
some further investigation,

1230
01:12:00,843 --> 01:12:02,627
at their residence.

1231
01:12:02,758 --> 01:12:06,457
So I will need you
to drive me up to the farm.

1232
01:12:07,023 --> 01:12:08,981
It's a bit late, isn't it?

1233
01:12:09,112 --> 01:12:14,291
Hmm. Oh, and I will need
to borrow this.

1234
01:12:26,869 --> 01:12:27,913
Gef!

1235
01:12:29,350 --> 01:12:30,916
Are you here, Gef?

1236
01:12:33,354 --> 01:12:35,791
Gef! It's your friend,
Dr. Fodor!

1237
01:12:37,706 --> 01:12:40,578
I'd just love to speak
with you for a moment.

1238
01:12:42,493 --> 01:12:44,930
I'll let you steal
my underpants!

1239
01:12:45,061 --> 01:12:46,323
Dr. Fodor?

1240
01:12:47,977 --> 01:12:50,980
Is everything all right?[Dr. Fodor] Ah!

1241
01:12:51,633 --> 01:12:54,026
Feeling better,
are we, Voirrey?

1242
01:12:54,157 --> 01:12:55,854
You know, I must confess,
we weren't expecting

1243
01:12:55,985 --> 01:12:57,900
another visit from you
this evening.

1244
01:12:58,988 --> 01:13:00,337
Where is Gef?

1245
01:13:00,468 --> 01:13:01,904
He's not here at the moment.

1246
01:13:02,034 --> 01:13:03,645
I'm afraid today's excitement
scared him off.

1247
01:13:03,775 --> 01:13:05,777
But if you return tomorrow
at a reasonable hour...

1248
01:13:05,908 --> 01:13:08,214
- Gef!
- Dr. Fodor! Please!

1249
01:13:08,345 --> 01:13:12,654
I need... I need to come inside
for some further investigation.

1250
01:13:12,784 --> 01:13:14,917
I don't think that's a good idea
to allow you in our home

1251
01:13:15,047 --> 01:13:17,049
at this time,
in your condition.

1252
01:13:17,180 --> 01:13:18,573
Oh, in my condition?

1253
01:13:18,703 --> 01:13:19,965
Hmm.

1254
01:13:20,096 --> 01:13:22,315
Well, very well.
If you will not let me in,

1255
01:13:22,446 --> 01:13:26,015
I will conduct my own
investigation out here.

1256
01:13:26,145 --> 01:13:27,277
Gef!

1257
01:13:30,802 --> 01:13:32,804
I'm going to check
the barn.

1258
01:13:35,067 --> 01:13:36,417
Go and alert
the constable.

1259
01:13:36,547 --> 01:13:38,244
Dr. Fodor!

1260
01:13:38,375 --> 01:13:39,985
I've instructed Margaret
to go and alert the constable.

1261
01:13:40,116 --> 01:13:41,987
Now I would advise you

1262
01:13:42,118 --> 01:13:43,946
to accompany Maurice
back to his car,

1263
01:13:44,076 --> 01:13:45,338
and he can take you
back to your inn,

1264
01:13:45,469 --> 01:13:47,602
where you can
sleep this off.

1265
01:13:55,131 --> 01:13:56,349
Oh, Gef!

1266
01:13:57,786 --> 01:13:59,091
Little Geffer?

1267
01:14:02,007 --> 01:14:03,356
I want to talk to you!

1268
01:14:04,967 --> 01:14:06,882
We can talk more
about my father!

1269
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,408
I'll-- I'll give you
a signed copy of my book!

1270
01:14:11,930 --> 01:14:13,236
Dr. Fodor! No!

1271
01:14:20,286 --> 01:14:22,114
Apologies, my friend.

1272
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,264
Ah. Ow.

1273
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:42,918
Ah.

1274
01:14:49,490 --> 01:14:50,708
Hello?

1275
01:14:51,796 --> 01:14:52,797
Hello!

1276
01:14:54,625 --> 01:14:58,281
Sounds like someone got
a bit hammered this evening.

1277
01:15:01,023 --> 01:15:06,115
Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie.
Where do we go after we die?

1278
01:15:06,245 --> 01:15:07,333
Who's there?

1279
01:15:10,554 --> 01:15:12,251
If only you were little like me,

1280
01:15:12,382 --> 01:15:15,646
you could squeeze between
these bars and be free!

1281
01:15:21,086 --> 01:15:22,435
This is madness.

1282
01:15:25,830 --> 01:15:27,876
Gef, is it?

1283
01:15:31,444 --> 01:15:34,491
I refuse to participate
in this...

1284
01:15:35,492 --> 01:15:37,363
farce any longer.

1285
01:15:38,669 --> 01:15:39,670
Hello?

1286
01:15:40,845 --> 01:15:41,846
Hello!

1287
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:45,633
I require the use
of a telephone,

1288
01:15:45,763 --> 01:15:49,071
so I may call my assistant
to arrange my release.

1289
01:15:51,116 --> 01:15:53,989
I have an account at
the, uh, Abbey Bank in London,

1290
01:15:54,119 --> 01:15:57,558
if I am required
to post some kind of bond.

1291
01:15:59,908 --> 01:16:01,474
Or, if you would prefer,

1292
01:16:01,605 --> 01:16:06,523
my attorney is Marlon Sandersen,
Esquire, in New York City.

1293
01:16:06,654 --> 01:16:08,960
I can assure you
I will be placing a call to him

1294
01:16:09,091 --> 01:16:11,441
if I am not released immediately.

1295
01:16:16,577 --> 01:16:19,101
Right, right. So be it.

1296
01:16:23,496 --> 01:16:24,628
Damn you!

1297
01:16:25,237 --> 01:16:26,543
Whoever you are!

1298
01:16:26,674 --> 01:16:28,719
How did you know
what my father said to me?

1299
01:16:30,329 --> 01:16:32,027
Did-did-did you read my book?

1300
01:16:33,942 --> 01:16:36,553
What-what do you hope
to gain...

1301
01:16:36,684 --> 01:16:37,859
from this...

1302
01:16:37,989 --> 01:16:39,687
insanity?

1303
01:16:39,817 --> 01:16:44,169
Is it-is it some kind of...
financial incentive? Or...

1304
01:16:44,866 --> 01:16:46,824
do you just crave attention?

1305
01:16:48,391 --> 01:16:50,959
That's it. That's it, isn't it?
It's...

1306
01:16:52,177 --> 01:16:54,049
Well, then show yourself!

1307
01:16:54,179 --> 01:16:57,356
If you are able to squeeze
through these bars,

1308
01:16:57,487 --> 01:16:59,228
like you say,
then step into the corridor

1309
01:16:59,358 --> 01:17:00,664
and let me look at you!

1310
01:17:00,795 --> 01:17:03,362
Let me get
a good look at you, Gef!

1311
01:17:08,585 --> 01:17:11,806
I intend to publish an article

1312
01:17:12,589 --> 01:17:15,897
about this entire incident
on my return to London.

1313
01:17:16,419 --> 01:17:17,681
And...

1314
01:17:17,812 --> 01:17:19,422
the tone of that article,

1315
01:17:19,552 --> 01:17:21,554
the way in which I portray you

1316
01:17:21,685 --> 01:17:25,210
and the Irving family
and this entire accursed island

1317
01:17:25,341 --> 01:17:27,386
shall be determined
by this moment

1318
01:17:27,517 --> 01:17:29,954
and whether or not
you let me look upon you.

1319
01:17:39,007 --> 01:17:40,225
Please!

1320
01:17:42,140 --> 01:17:44,316
What if there
is nothing after this?

1321
01:17:44,447 --> 01:17:47,885
No Heaven, no Hell.
Just nothing.

1322
01:17:48,016 --> 01:17:52,411
No awareness of the fact
that we were ever aware at all.

1323
01:17:52,542 --> 01:17:55,414
Stop it! Please!

1324
01:17:57,852 --> 01:17:59,810
Just show yourself.

1325
01:18:00,724 --> 01:18:03,118
Just for a moment, please. Just...

1326
01:18:04,206 --> 01:18:06,425
Just show me that you're real.

1327
01:18:06,556 --> 01:18:10,212
Just a-a-a tuft
of your little tail.

1328
01:18:13,650 --> 01:18:17,654
W-Wait!
What if you scratch my arm?

1329
01:18:17,785 --> 01:18:20,962
With your claws,
just a little scratch. Please.

1330
01:18:21,527 --> 01:18:23,660
Please, I'm begging you.
Just a little scratch,

1331
01:18:23,791 --> 01:18:25,662
with your little claws.

1332
01:18:25,793 --> 01:18:28,404
I don't want to hurt you.

1333
01:18:28,534 --> 01:18:30,754
Even though you want to hurt me.

1334
01:18:30,885 --> 01:18:32,190
I don't!

1335
01:18:32,321 --> 01:18:34,062
I don't want to hurt you.

1336
01:18:34,192 --> 01:18:35,628
What do you mean?

1337
01:18:36,238 --> 01:18:38,283
I mean you no harm.

1338
01:18:38,414 --> 01:18:41,243
And I don't mind. Really. Just--

1339
01:18:41,373 --> 01:18:44,028
I'm asking, I am begging you, please.

1340
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:47,162
Just scratch my arm, there.
Just on the wrist.

1341
01:18:47,945 --> 01:18:49,947
Ow! Ow!

1342
01:19:05,049 --> 01:19:06,137
Thank you.

1343
01:19:09,314 --> 01:19:10,794
You all right?

1344
01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:16,104
Yeah.
I think it is time

1345
01:19:16,234 --> 01:19:18,759
that I returned to London.

1346
01:19:59,147 --> 01:20:01,584
After careful consideration,

1347
01:20:01,714 --> 01:20:03,542
I've decided that upon
returning to London,

1348
01:20:03,673 --> 01:20:06,371
I will be tending my resignation
as your assistant.

1349
01:20:08,678 --> 01:20:10,288
Because of the mongoose.

1350
01:20:10,419 --> 01:20:11,681
Yes.

1351
01:20:13,770 --> 01:20:15,511
And because I am unhappy.

1352
01:20:19,907 --> 01:20:21,343
So am I.

1353
01:20:27,653 --> 01:20:31,875
I will offer my wholehearted recommendation

1354
01:20:32,006 --> 01:20:34,791
to any future
prospective employers

1355
01:20:34,922 --> 01:20:37,707
should they contact me
regarding you.

1356
01:20:37,838 --> 01:20:39,448
Thank you.

1357
01:20:39,578 --> 01:20:40,928
And...

1358
01:20:43,626 --> 01:20:44,845
I will miss you.

1359
01:20:47,717 --> 01:20:49,806
I will miss you too, Nandor.

1360
01:20:51,286 --> 01:20:53,201
Well, then don't leave.

1361
01:20:53,331 --> 01:20:56,030
I have already decided.

1362
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,554
Well, then undecide.

1363
01:21:03,820 --> 01:21:06,605
Do you really, really, really
want me to stay?

1364
01:21:07,824 --> 01:21:11,088
I would be utterly lost
without you.

1365
01:21:17,703 --> 01:21:18,748
Well...

1366
01:21:21,098 --> 01:21:22,839
Were I to consider staying,

1367
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,323
I should require a raise in pay
by a dollar an hour.

1368
01:21:29,150 --> 01:21:30,455
Oh.

1369
01:21:32,893 --> 01:21:33,981
Fine.

1370
01:21:34,111 --> 01:21:36,287
And a letter
of introduction

1371
01:21:36,418 --> 01:21:39,073
to Dr. Elliot Weaving
of the University of Kent's

1372
01:21:39,203 --> 01:21:40,726
Paranormal Research Department.

1373
01:21:40,857 --> 01:21:42,598
I despise that man.

1374
01:21:42,728 --> 01:21:44,165
He respects you.

1375
01:21:45,818 --> 01:21:47,603
Fine. Anything else?

1376
01:21:47,733 --> 01:21:48,865
Yes.

1377
01:21:50,693 --> 01:21:54,653
You must consider...
the possibility, at least,

1378
01:21:55,828 --> 01:21:57,178
that Gef is real.

1379
01:21:59,745 --> 01:22:02,009
I wish you the best
in all your future endeavors.

1380
01:22:03,662 --> 01:22:04,707
Fine!

1381
01:22:06,056 --> 01:22:07,101
A dollar an hour?

1382
01:22:07,231 --> 01:22:08,232
Yes.

1383
01:22:08,363 --> 01:22:09,886
And the letter of introduction.

1384
01:22:10,756 --> 01:22:12,062
Reluctantly, yes.

1385
01:22:13,672 --> 01:22:14,935
Then I accept.

1386
01:22:16,937 --> 01:22:18,286
Welcome back.

1387
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:38,959
The Calvert, was it?

1388
01:22:39,089 --> 01:22:44,399
It was. But, um, I regret
to inform you that, uh...

1389
01:22:47,141 --> 01:22:50,318
I've quit drinking.[laughs] Oh.

1390
01:22:50,448 --> 01:22:52,450
The trip was that bad?

1391
01:22:54,539 --> 01:22:56,715
From Mr. James Irving.

1392
01:22:56,846 --> 01:22:58,326
Oh, God.

1393
01:23:01,068 --> 01:23:03,070
"Dr. Fodor,

1394
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:04,593
while your trip
to Dalby Mountain

1395
01:23:04,723 --> 01:23:06,334
began somewhat auspiciously,

1396
01:23:06,464 --> 01:23:08,553
the way in which you made
your departure was..."

1397
01:23:08,684 --> 01:23:10,251
Blah, blah, blah.

1398
01:23:10,381 --> 01:23:13,210
"I regret to inform you
that I have employed

1399
01:23:13,341 --> 01:23:15,082
the honorable Karl Leibovitz,

1400
01:23:15,212 --> 01:23:17,562
an attorney from Leeds
who specializes

1401
01:23:17,693 --> 01:23:20,652
in litigating cases
involving libel, slander,

1402
01:23:20,783 --> 01:23:22,219
and defamation suits."

1403
01:23:22,350 --> 01:23:24,482
Oh. Incredible.

1404
01:23:24,613 --> 01:23:26,963
Uh, blah, blah
and we get to the-- ah, yes.

1405
01:23:27,094 --> 01:23:29,357
"I inform you of all this
not as a threat,

1406
01:23:29,487 --> 01:23:32,186
but as a piece of information
for you to keep in mind

1407
01:23:32,316 --> 01:23:34,449
when and if you ever decide
to publish an account

1408
01:23:34,579 --> 01:23:37,365
chronicling your time
at Cashen's Gap."

1409
01:23:39,367 --> 01:23:40,411
Oh.

1410
01:23:42,892 --> 01:23:45,329
You want me to order you
a glass of water?

1411
01:23:45,460 --> 01:23:46,722
Uh, please.

1412
01:23:48,724 --> 01:23:51,074
What about Gef himself?

1413
01:23:51,205 --> 01:23:53,468
Have you heard from the bastard?

1414
01:23:53,598 --> 01:23:57,602
He calls me once a week,
at least.

1415
01:23:57,733 --> 01:24:01,215
He called me about a month ago.

1416
01:24:01,345 --> 01:24:03,782
Told me that I had left
one of my shoes behind,

1417
01:24:03,913 --> 01:24:06,133
<i>and that he was keeping it safe
in his little cave,</i>

1418
01:24:06,263 --> 01:24:08,178
<i>should I ever care to return.</i>

1419
01:24:08,787 --> 01:24:10,441
Son of a bitch!

1420
01:24:13,401 --> 01:24:17,709
Gef has become a bit
of a local celebrity.

1421
01:24:18,275 --> 01:24:20,669
Did you hear about the case
of R.S. Lambert

1422
01:24:20,799 --> 01:24:23,628
and the British
Broadcasting Company?

1423
01:24:23,759 --> 01:24:25,282
Indeed.

1424
01:24:25,413 --> 01:24:27,893
And did you hear
that after you left,

1425
01:24:28,024 --> 01:24:31,245
a filmmaker by the name
of Roger Sanz

1426
01:24:31,375 --> 01:24:34,639
brought a film crew to the Isle

1427
01:24:34,770 --> 01:24:39,166
to attempt to obtain evidence
of Gef

1428
01:24:39,862 --> 01:24:42,995
via motion pictures?

1429
01:24:43,126 --> 01:24:44,475
Did I hear!

1430
01:24:44,606 --> 01:24:46,695
<i>The Haunting
of the Isle of Man.</i>

1431
01:24:47,261 --> 01:24:48,827
<i>I attended
the film's premiere,</i>

1432
01:24:48,958 --> 01:24:50,481
<i>if you could call it that.</i>

1433
01:24:50,612 --> 01:24:52,309
<i>On the remote Isle of Man,</i>

1434
01:24:52,440 --> 01:24:54,137
<i>a little seen but much heard
little creature</i>

1435
01:24:54,268 --> 01:24:56,270
<i>going by the name of Gef
is fast becoming</i>

1436
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,099
<i>as famous a mystery
as the Loch Ness Monster,</i>

1437
01:24:59,229 --> 01:25:01,057
<i>only this elusive
creature talks,</i>

1438
01:25:01,188 --> 01:25:03,538
<i>baffling experts
with his sinister</i>

1439
01:25:03,668 --> 01:25:05,844
<i>and powerful pronouncements.</i>

1440
01:25:06,758 --> 01:25:08,238
I saw it shortly thereafter.

1441
01:25:09,761 --> 01:25:12,286
I think it, uh, unequivocally

1442
01:25:12,416 --> 01:25:15,593
puts the mystery of Gef's
existence to rest.

1443
01:25:22,774 --> 01:25:24,472
Will you be publishing
an article

1444
01:25:24,602 --> 01:25:26,256
about your experience, then,

1445
01:25:26,387 --> 01:25:32,219
considering how litigious our
friend Mr. Irving has become?

1446
01:25:32,349 --> 01:25:34,438
I think I will, yes.

1447
01:25:34,569 --> 01:25:35,657
Hmm.

1448
01:25:35,787 --> 01:25:38,138
A braver man than I!

1449
01:25:39,748 --> 01:25:44,535
Well, I will portray the Irvings
and their imaginary pet

1450
01:25:44,666 --> 01:25:47,364
in a far kinder hue
than they deserve.

1451
01:25:47,495 --> 01:25:50,976
And though my time
at the farm was admittedly...

1452
01:25:51,629 --> 01:25:53,327
horrific,

1453
01:25:53,457 --> 01:25:57,418
as the weeks and months pass,
I recall with...

1454
01:25:57,548 --> 01:26:02,205
more and more fondness
my bizarre time there.

1455
01:26:02,336 --> 01:26:04,816
I feel the same.

1456
01:26:08,037 --> 01:26:10,300
And in the end,

1457
01:26:10,431 --> 01:26:13,042
do you feel as though
you understand any better

1458
01:26:13,173 --> 01:26:17,264
the phenomena that is Gef?

1459
01:26:17,394 --> 01:26:21,833
Or the motives of the Irvings?

1460
01:26:23,095 --> 01:26:24,184
Perhaps.

1461
01:26:25,794 --> 01:26:28,927
Why is it that we write,
Dr. Price?

1462
01:26:29,058 --> 01:26:30,538
Hmmm.

1463
01:26:31,974 --> 01:26:37,066
To chronicle our experiences,
I suppose?

1464
01:26:37,632 --> 01:26:39,155
To remember.

1465
01:26:40,591 --> 01:26:44,116
Perhaps you can recall
every detail

1466
01:26:44,247 --> 01:26:45,988
of the cases
you've investigated,

1467
01:26:46,118 --> 01:26:47,946
but I fear...

1468
01:26:48,077 --> 01:26:53,561
entire sections of my life
have faded from view.

1469
01:26:53,691 --> 01:26:56,477
That is not what I meant.

1470
01:26:56,607 --> 01:26:58,130
To journal certainly,

1471
01:26:58,261 --> 01:27:01,264
but why do we publish
our writings?

1472
01:27:02,091 --> 01:27:03,788
To remember, you said.

1473
01:27:03,919 --> 01:27:08,445
No, we publish our writings
to be remembered.

1474
01:27:08,576 --> 01:27:10,273
We do not speak of it, often,

1475
01:27:10,404 --> 01:27:13,276
but we want our names
to be known.

1476
01:27:13,407 --> 01:27:16,192
To be recognized
within our field, and without.

1477
01:27:16,323 --> 01:27:18,934
I do not want fame!

1478
01:27:19,064 --> 01:27:20,457
Neither do I.

1479
01:27:20,588 --> 01:27:22,764
But we would not publish
our findings,

1480
01:27:22,894 --> 01:27:25,636
we would not write novels,
Dr. Price,

1481
01:27:25,767 --> 01:27:28,639
if we did not wish them
to be read.

1482
01:27:31,642 --> 01:27:33,601
It is incredibly ironic

1483
01:27:33,731 --> 01:27:37,474
that one of the most profound
questions I have ever been asked

1484
01:27:37,605 --> 01:27:40,651
was by none other
than Gef himself.

1485
01:27:40,782 --> 01:27:42,305
You're kidding!

1486
01:27:43,828 --> 01:27:45,047
No.

1487
01:27:46,135 --> 01:27:49,225
"What if there is nothing
after this?"

1488
01:27:49,747 --> 01:27:51,271
the creature entreated.

1489
01:27:53,185 --> 01:27:56,885
<i>"No Heaven, no Hell.
Just nothing.</i>

1490
01:27:58,147 --> 01:28:01,411
<i>No awareness that
we were ever aware at all."</i>

1491
01:28:04,849 --> 01:28:06,851
A grim query!

1492
01:28:06,982 --> 01:28:08,288
Indeed.

1493
01:28:09,767 --> 01:28:12,857
What if there is nothing
before or after?

1494
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:16,948
What if this is all there is?

1495
01:28:19,908 --> 01:28:21,257
If that is so, then...

1496
01:28:21,388 --> 01:28:24,173
all that is left
after our bodies die

1497
01:28:24,304 --> 01:28:25,914
are the things we leave behind.

1498
01:28:26,044 --> 01:28:29,483
<i>In your case, and in mine,
it is our writings.</i>

1499
01:28:29,613 --> 01:28:31,963
<i>The tales of the bizarre places
we have been,</i>

1500
01:28:32,094 --> 01:28:34,923
<i>the-the people and phenomena
we have observed.</i>

1501
01:28:35,053 --> 01:28:37,447
<i>That we have experienced
these things,</i>

1502
01:28:37,578 --> 01:28:39,014
is what makes us unique,

1503
01:28:39,144 --> 01:28:41,756
among the two billion or so
people on this planet.

1504
01:28:43,235 --> 01:28:45,237
What, then,
makes the Irvings unique?

1505
01:28:46,630 --> 01:28:48,719
For what will they
be remembered?

1506
01:33:52,588 --> 01:33:58,420
Yeah, I just wanted to give out,
uh, a shout to the entire...

1507
01:33:58,550 --> 01:34:00,074
well, almost,

1508
01:34:00,204 --> 01:34:04,600
the entire cast and crew,
uh, on the production

1509
01:34:04,731 --> 01:34:07,081
of <i>Nandor Fodor
and the Talking Mongoose.</i>

1510
01:34:07,211 --> 01:34:10,867
An extraordinary cast,
incredible crew, amazing DOP.

1511
01:34:10,998 --> 01:34:14,305
Extraordinary costumes, set.
I mean, everything was amazing.

1512
01:34:14,436 --> 01:34:16,743
Um, apart from working
with Adam. Um...

1513
01:34:16,873 --> 01:34:20,877
<i>'cause he is a bit of a diva,
to say the least.</i>

1514
01:34:21,008 --> 01:34:23,706
I've been in this business
for over 40-plus years.

1515
01:34:23,837 --> 01:34:25,142
I've worked with some
great actors,

1516
01:34:25,273 --> 01:34:26,622
great writers, directors,

1517
01:34:26,753 --> 01:34:28,493
all kinds of great people.

1518
01:34:28,624 --> 01:34:31,192
But I've never worked
with a complete [bleep].

1519
01:34:32,193 --> 01:34:34,804
<i>And the guy who wins that prize
is a guy called Adam Sigal.</i>

1520
01:34:34,935 --> 01:34:37,459
Who calls himself a director.

1521
01:34:37,589 --> 01:34:40,505
Really, really challenging guy, yeah.

1522
01:34:40,636 --> 01:34:42,725
You get a project

1523
01:34:42,856 --> 01:34:46,207
and you read it
and you get excited about it

1524
01:34:46,337 --> 01:34:48,339
and the money is good
and all that stuff,

1525
01:34:48,470 --> 01:34:50,690
and then you get there
and there's just...

1526
01:34:52,126 --> 01:34:53,954
<i>this guy at the helm.</i>

1527
01:34:56,696 --> 01:34:59,481
The man's a fool.
Couldn't direct traffic.

1528
01:35:00,177 --> 01:35:01,657
And I was like, "Oh, by the way,

1529
01:35:01,788 --> 01:35:06,227
there's two words that
I wanted to just swap around,

1530
01:35:06,357 --> 01:35:08,925
<i>because I just think it might
fly a little bit better."</i>

1531
01:35:09,056 --> 01:35:13,364
And he said, "What the
did you say about my script?"

1532
01:35:13,974 --> 01:35:15,497
If something wasn't going right,

1533
01:35:15,627 --> 01:35:18,108
<i>he would just stand up
and shout,</i>

1534
01:35:18,239 --> 01:35:19,806
<i>and then just storm off,</i>

1535
01:35:19,936 --> 01:35:21,895
<i>and you wouldn't see him
for hours.</i>

1536
01:35:22,025 --> 01:35:23,984
<i>And then when he was ready
to come on set,</i>

1537
01:35:24,114 --> 01:35:25,507
he wouldn't come back on set.

1538
01:35:25,637 --> 01:35:28,728
He would just send back
an Alsatian called Gavin,

1539
01:35:29,903 --> 01:35:32,035
<i>who he then would scream
from the other room,</i>

1540
01:35:32,166 --> 01:35:34,124
<i>"Gavin's now directing!"</i>

1541
01:35:35,256 --> 01:35:38,694
<i>And you can tell, obviously,
when watching the movie,</i>

1542
01:35:38,825 --> 01:35:41,044
<i>the parts that are directed
by a dog.</i>

1543
01:35:41,175 --> 01:35:42,742
Because they're better!

1544
01:35:43,307 --> 01:35:45,309
I... I can't talk right now.

1545
01:35:45,440 --> 01:35:46,963
He grabbed me
by the back of my hair.

1546
01:35:47,094 --> 01:35:51,402
He slammed my face down
really hard on my desk.

1547
01:35:52,664 --> 01:35:54,101
That was day one.

1548
01:35:54,231 --> 01:35:59,019
Uh, Adam Sigal
is a [bleep] bubble,

1549
01:35:59,149 --> 01:36:01,064
<i>and I wish that mother[bleep]</i>

1550
01:36:01,195 --> 01:36:02,849
<i>would just [bleep] off
back to Florida</i>

1551
01:36:02,979 --> 01:36:04,546
<i>with the rest
of the [bleep] alligators</i>

1552
01:36:04,676 --> 01:36:06,548
<i>and [bleep] hicks that
he hangs out with.</i>

1553
01:36:06,678 --> 01:36:07,723
What a [bleep]!

1554
01:36:07,854 --> 01:36:10,204
What a [bleep]!
