<i>The earliest</i>
<i>documented instance</i>

3
01:02:00,287 --> 01:02:02,691
<i>of an animal speaking</i>
<i>like a human</i>

4
01:02:02,790 --> 01:02:04,693
<i>was in the 5th century BC,</i>

5
01:02:04,825 --> 01:02:07,928
<i>by the Greek physician Ctesias,</i>
<i>who wrote,</i>

6
01:02:08,028 --> 01:02:09,531
<i>"In my travels to India,</i>

7
01:02:09,631 --> 01:02:12,567
<i>I encountered a parrot</i>
<i>about as large as a hawk,</i>

8
01:02:12,667 --> 01:02:16,170
<i>with a human tongue and voice,</i>
<i>a dark red beak, a black beard,</i>

9
01:02:16,270 --> 01:02:19,907
<i>and blue feathers up to a neck,</i>
<i>which is red like cinnabar.</i>

10
01:02:20,007 --> 01:02:21,809
<i>It speaks Indian like a native</i>

11
01:02:21,909 --> 01:02:24,478
<i>and if taught Greek,</i>
<i>speaks Greek."</i>

12
01:02:28,282 --> 01:02:32,419
<i>In 1962, a budgerigar</i>
<i>named Sparkie Williams</i>

13
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,657
<i>held the world record</i>
<i>for the largest vocabulary</i>

14
01:02:35,756 --> 01:02:37,091
<i>of a talking bird.</i>

15
01:02:37,191 --> 01:02:38,192
Stupid bastard.

16
01:02:38,292 --> 01:02:39,661
<i>At the time of his death,</i>

17
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,962
<i>he knew 531 words.</i>

18
01:02:42,062 --> 01:02:46,568
Stupid bastard. Silly bugger.
Stupid bastard.

19
01:02:46,668 --> 01:02:48,035
Like I told you,

20
01:02:48,135 --> 01:02:50,771
he is a very, very,
very good boy.

21
01:02:51,138 --> 01:02:52,439
That's not important right now.

22
01:02:52,540 --> 01:02:56,043
<i>In 1995,</i>
<i>a budgerigar named Park</i>

23
01:02:56,143 --> 01:02:58,879

Book of World Records

24
01:02:58,979 --> 01:03:02,349
<i>as having the largest</i>
<i>vocabulary of any bird.</i>

25
01:03:02,449 --> 01:03:06,220
Never shake a baby bird,
that would surely be absurd.

26
01:03:07,354 --> 01:03:08,122
<i>Konnichiwa!</i>

27
01:03:08,222 --> 01:03:09,490
<i>While the budgerigar</i>

28
01:03:09,591 --> 01:03:11,358
<i>can be taught the most words,</i>

29
01:03:11,458 --> 01:03:14,295

<i>that the hill myna</i>

30

<i>sounds most similar</i>
<i>to a human when it speaks.</i>

31
01:03:18,332 --> 01:03:20,134
Hello, how are you?

32
01:03:22,469 --> 01:03:24,138
Hello, how are you?

33
01:03:25,239 --> 01:03:26,874
<i>Crows are considered</i>

34
01:03:26,974 --> 01:03:30,077
<i>some of the most intelligent</i>
<i>animals on Earth.</i>

35
01:03:30,177 --> 01:03:31,278
Come on.

36
01:03:31,378 --> 01:03:33,380
<i>And they can learn,</i>
<i>in some cases,</i>

37
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,383
<i>to mimic human speech</i>
<i>and laughter.</i>

38
01:03:36,483 --> 01:03:37,951
What a good boy.

39
01:03:38,052 --> 01:03:39,521
<i>And while most often</i>

40
01:03:39,621 --> 01:03:40,821
<i>when one thinks of an animal</i>

41
01:03:40,921 --> 01:03:42,389
<i>speaking like a human...</i>

42
01:03:44,124 --> 01:03:46,060
<i>...one thinks of a bird.</i>

43
01:03:51,198 --> 01:03:53,233
<i>Some other animals</i>
<i>can produce sounds</i>

44
01:03:53,334 --> 01:03:56,870
<i>that are remarkably</i>
<i>like the ones we make.</i>

45
01:04:05,279 --> 01:04:08,148
<i>These are very</i>
<i>isolated occurrences, however.</i>

46
01:04:08,248 --> 01:04:09,917
<i>The result of coincidence</i>

47
01:04:10,017 --> 01:04:12,152
<i>rather than anything</i>
<i>supernatural.</i>

48
01:04:35,976 --> 01:04:38,912
You are considered to be
the world's foremost expert

49
01:04:39,012 --> 01:04:41,215
in parapsychology.

50
01:04:41,315 --> 01:04:42,817
A field of research I will admit

51
01:04:42,916 --> 01:04:46,387
I was unfamiliar with
until quite recently.

52
01:04:46,487 --> 01:04:47,689
Well, most are.

53
01:04:47,789 --> 01:04:49,022
Hm.

54
01:04:49,123 --> 01:04:51,826
There is something
I have been dying to ask,

55
01:04:51,959 --> 01:04:52,993
no pun intended,

56
01:04:53,093 --> 01:04:55,062
since we arranged
this interview.

57
01:04:55,462 --> 01:04:59,333
I hope my, uh, nomenclature
is not too crude.

58
01:04:59,433 --> 01:05:00,602
Well, what is it?

59
01:05:00,702 --> 01:05:05,072
Well, do you believe in ghosts?

60
01:05:06,073 --> 01:05:08,108
Well, the answer
to that question

61
01:05:08,208 --> 01:05:10,144
is actually quite complicated.

62
01:05:10,244 --> 01:05:11,378
How so?

63
01:05:11,478 --> 01:05:14,281
Do you believe
that ghosts are real?

64
01:05:14,381 --> 01:05:16,383
Well, now that is an entirely
different question

65
01:05:16,483 --> 01:05:19,253
with an even more
complicated answer.

66
01:05:20,053 --> 01:05:22,590
I'm afraid I'm a bit lost.

67
01:05:23,123 --> 01:05:24,526
Aren't we all?

68
01:05:26,126 --> 01:05:28,061
Allow me to respond
to your inquiry

69
01:05:28,162 --> 01:05:29,597
with a question for you.

70
01:05:29,697 --> 01:05:32,834
And that is, how do you define
that term, "real"?

71
01:05:33,267 --> 01:05:38,873
Well, it is, I suppose,
what I can see, what I can feel.

72
01:05:38,972 --> 01:05:42,075
Hear, smell.
What is obviously around me.

73
01:05:42,176 --> 01:05:44,546
Precisely.
What you can see,

74
01:05:44,646 --> 01:05:45,780
what you can feel,

75
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:47,181
what is around you.

76
01:05:47,281 --> 01:05:48,482
Right.
Now, allow me

77
01:05:48,583 --> 01:05:51,218
to elucidate further
with a short exercise.

78
01:05:51,318 --> 01:05:53,053
All right.
Suppose when I look

79
01:05:53,153 --> 01:05:54,421
into the corner of the room,

80
01:05:54,522 --> 01:05:58,091
I see a man standing there
looking back at me.

81
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:01,896
But there's no one there.

82
01:06:01,995 --> 01:06:03,030
So you say.

83
01:06:03,130 --> 01:06:06,133
But what if I could see someone?

84
01:06:06,835 --> 01:06:07,968
Can you?

85
01:06:08,068 --> 01:06:09,637
For the purpose
of this demonstration,

86
01:06:09,737 --> 01:06:12,607
yes, I see, as I said, a man.

87
01:06:12,707 --> 01:06:16,644
He is old with a heavy beard.

88
01:06:16,744 --> 01:06:18,746
Blue eyes.

89
01:06:18,847 --> 01:06:21,114
He is making faces at me now.

90
01:06:21,215 --> 01:06:23,150
He is waggling his tongue.

91
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:32,159
Right, but, uh, but there is
no one there.

92
01:06:32,259 --> 01:06:33,994
Do you see anyone there?

93
01:06:36,698 --> 01:06:39,734
What? So you cannot see him,
neither can he.

94
01:06:39,834 --> 01:06:41,503
And yet I can.

95
01:06:41,603 --> 01:06:42,971
So is he real or not?

96
01:06:43,070 --> 01:06:45,472
Well, no.

97
01:06:46,039 --> 01:06:47,509
But I say he is.

98
01:06:47,609 --> 01:06:49,811
But he is not.

99
01:06:49,911 --> 01:06:51,579
But I...

100
01:06:52,580 --> 01:06:54,616
say he is.

101
01:06:56,316 --> 01:06:59,186
That you two cannot see anyone
is irrelevant

102
01:06:59,286 --> 01:07:01,021
as far as I am concerned.

103
01:07:01,121 --> 01:07:02,824
You could bring
a thousand people in here

104
01:07:02,924 --> 01:07:04,491
and ask them all
if they see someone

105
01:07:04,592 --> 01:07:07,562
and they could all say no,
and yet I can.

106
01:07:07,662 --> 01:07:10,230
So to me, he is real.

107
01:07:11,265 --> 01:07:13,433
I think I understand now.

108
01:07:14,201 --> 01:07:16,671
Good. However...

109
01:07:16,771 --> 01:07:18,071
Oh, God, what now?

110
01:07:18,171 --> 01:07:20,675
My field of research with
regard to this scenario

111
01:07:20,775 --> 01:07:23,076
I have concocted
has little to do with the fact

112
01:07:23,176 --> 01:07:25,212
that you two cannot see
anyone in the corner.

113
01:07:25,312 --> 01:07:28,716
In fact, it does not
really matter that I can.

114
01:07:28,816 --> 01:07:30,919
What I am concerned with...

115
01:07:31,686 --> 01:07:34,589
What I am obsessed
with understanding is,

116
01:07:34,689 --> 01:07:37,224
why I can see that man?

117
01:07:37,825 --> 01:07:39,027
Do you understand?

118
01:07:39,661 --> 01:07:41,061
Not at all.

119
01:08:39,587 --> 01:08:41,188
Anne, hello.

120
01:08:41,990 --> 01:08:43,091
How was it?

121
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,327
A drink, please.

122
01:08:47,427 --> 01:08:48,462
I see.

123
01:08:49,496 --> 01:08:51,799
Would you prefer
the Burns or the Calvert?

124
01:08:51,899 --> 01:08:53,968
The Calvert to start.

125
01:09:00,508 --> 01:09:03,310
Now after the day
you've had,

126
01:09:03,410 --> 01:09:07,882
probably in no mood to have me
read your letters to you.

127
01:09:07,982 --> 01:09:09,817
Well... you might as well.

128
01:09:09,917 --> 01:09:11,653
Otherwise, they'll just...

129
01:09:11,753 --> 01:09:13,054
continue to accumulate.

130
01:09:13,153 --> 01:09:14,555
Yes.

131
01:09:15,023 --> 01:09:16,289
Right.

132
01:09:21,361 --> 01:09:23,131
"Dear Dr. Fodor,

133
01:09:23,230 --> 01:09:24,999
I do hope this letter
finds you well.

134
01:09:25,099 --> 01:09:26,067
My name is--"

135
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:27,635
S-Sorry, Anne.

136
01:09:28,301 --> 01:09:30,605
If you could skip
the pleasantries,

137
01:09:30,705 --> 01:09:31,906
I'm not in the mood.

138
01:09:32,006 --> 01:09:33,240
Certainly. Yeah.

139
01:09:33,340 --> 01:09:34,642
"I live in the town
of Dundee, Scotland

140
01:09:34,742 --> 01:09:36,544
with my son Oliver.

141
01:09:36,644 --> 01:09:38,579
When we moved
into the cottage on--"

142
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:39,914
All right.

143
01:09:40,014 --> 01:09:41,115
Here is what we will do.

144
01:09:41,214 --> 01:09:43,951
You will read the letter
to yourself,

145
01:09:44,052 --> 01:09:46,621
then you will take a moment.

146
01:09:47,055 --> 01:09:50,091
And then you will summarize it
for me.

147
01:09:50,190 --> 01:09:51,626
Ye... yes, sir.

148
01:09:54,762 --> 01:10:00,267
How short would you prefer
this summary to be?

149
01:10:02,302 --> 01:10:04,371
Four sentences or less.

150
01:10:05,405 --> 01:10:08,109
How does that sound?
Four. Yes.

151
01:10:17,819 --> 01:10:18,886
Oh.

152
01:10:21,288 --> 01:10:22,590
Right, I think I've got it.

153
01:10:22,690 --> 01:10:24,959
Oh, does that count as one
of my four sentences?

154
01:10:25,059 --> 01:10:26,894
No.
Excellent.

155
01:10:27,762 --> 01:10:31,331
A young Scottish boy.
He sees his dead grandmother.

156
01:10:31,431 --> 01:10:33,233
Mother doesn't believe.

157
01:10:34,802 --> 01:10:38,673
Mother finds dead grandmother's
necklace on her pillow...

158
01:10:38,773 --> 01:10:39,941
One, two, three.

159
01:10:40,041 --> 01:10:42,210
...and the boy suffers at school

160
01:10:42,309 --> 01:10:43,477
because of his visions.

161
01:10:43,578 --> 01:10:44,612
Next.

162
01:10:54,889 --> 01:10:56,023
Right.

163
01:10:57,058 --> 01:10:58,325
Library in Calcutta.

164
01:10:59,193 --> 01:11:03,131
Ghost of the former caretaker
said to haunt the history wing.

165
01:11:03,231 --> 01:11:05,265
Books strewn around.

166
01:11:06,134 --> 01:11:08,435
Photograph of phantasm enclosed.

167
01:11:11,338 --> 01:11:12,472
See? It's there.

168
01:11:12,573 --> 01:11:13,875
Oh, for fuck's sake.

169
01:11:13,975 --> 01:11:15,009
Next.

170
01:11:21,414 --> 01:11:24,284
Oh, golly. Right.

171
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,591
Isle of Man.
Family living in a farmhouse.

172
01:11:31,424 --> 01:11:34,829
Claim a talking mongoose
lives in their barn.

173
01:11:35,462 --> 01:11:37,064
Creature's name is Gef.

174
01:11:40,601 --> 01:11:42,603
A talking mongoose.

175
01:11:42,703 --> 01:11:43,738
Yes.

176
01:11:44,138 --> 01:11:46,040
The creature,
whose name is Gef,

177
01:11:47,074 --> 01:11:50,011
resembles a mongoose
or some other member of--

178
01:11:50,111 --> 01:11:51,746
May I?

179
01:11:53,380 --> 01:11:54,615
Thank you.

180
01:11:55,415 --> 01:11:57,718
"Dear Dr. Fodor, greetings.

181
01:11:57,819 --> 01:12:01,189
I hope this letter finds you...
The Isle of Man.

182
01:12:01,289 --> 01:12:04,158
Let me begin by saying that
the earliest documented instance

183
01:12:04,258 --> 01:12:06,326
of an animal
speaking like a human

184
01:12:06,426 --> 01:12:08,361
was in the 5th century BC

185
01:12:08,461 --> 01:12:10,898
by the Greek philosopher
Ctesias--"

186
01:12:10,998 --> 01:12:12,900
This is from Dr. Harry Price.

187
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,671
Yes, I-I believe he-he-he
visited the Irving family

188
01:12:16,771 --> 01:12:18,739
and investigated
the creature.

189
01:12:20,208 --> 01:12:21,509
Gef.

190
01:12:22,677 --> 01:12:26,346
"And while he did not see it,
he heard it.

191
01:12:27,114 --> 01:12:29,884
And the Irvings, and many
of the other townspeople

192
01:12:29,984 --> 01:12:33,521
are utterly convinced
that the creature does exist."

193
01:12:41,195 --> 01:12:43,698
Would you pour me another?
Oh, yes.

194
01:12:48,669 --> 01:12:51,172
<i>"And while</i>
<i>he did not see it,</i>

195
01:12:51,272 --> 01:12:52,673
<i>he heard it.</i>

196
01:12:53,975 --> 01:12:57,144
<i>And the Irvings, and many</i>
<i>of the other townspeople</i>

197
01:12:57,245 --> 01:13:00,948
<i>are utterly convinced</i>
<i>that the creature does exist."</i>

198
01:13:04,151 --> 01:13:05,620
A talking...

199
01:13:06,787 --> 01:13:08,155
mongoose.

200
01:13:25,438 --> 01:13:27,775
I, uh, ordered you a gin rickey.

201
01:13:27,875 --> 01:13:30,878
I dimly recall a fondness for...

202
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,115
Thank you.

203
01:13:35,583 --> 01:13:39,452
Apologies for my lateness.

204
01:13:41,454 --> 01:13:43,858
I took a circuitous route,

205
01:13:43,958 --> 01:13:47,528
to ensure I was not
being followed.

206
01:13:47,628 --> 01:13:50,131
Why on Earth
would anyone follow you?

207
01:13:50,231 --> 01:13:51,732
I don't know.

208
01:13:51,832 --> 01:13:55,002
I did not wish to be seen
together in this...

209
01:13:55,102 --> 01:13:56,436
public place.

210
01:14:00,841 --> 01:14:03,678
Have I become that unpopular
with your peers?

211
01:14:04,545 --> 01:14:06,047
I'm afraid so.

212
01:14:08,149 --> 01:14:10,885
The London Spiritualist Alliance

213
01:14:10,985 --> 01:14:16,190
do not take kindly to your new
clinical methods of research.

214
01:14:18,292 --> 01:14:19,560
So...

215
01:14:20,661 --> 01:14:22,029
The mongoose.

216
01:14:23,364 --> 01:14:24,398
Gef.

217
01:14:26,767 --> 01:14:31,238
Well, I-I must admit I found
your letter to be intriguing.

218
01:14:31,339 --> 01:14:35,443
In my nearly 30 years

219
01:14:35,543 --> 01:14:40,581
of investigating
unnatural occurrences,

220
01:14:40,681 --> 01:14:43,351
this is perhaps
the strangest case

221
01:14:43,451 --> 01:14:45,987
I have ever encountered.

222
01:14:46,087 --> 01:14:47,254
Really?

223
01:14:47,355 --> 01:14:51,525
Mr. Irving, who owns the farm
upon which Gef resides,

224
01:14:51,625 --> 01:14:56,464
had written me 16 letters
over the past four years,

225
01:14:56,564 --> 01:15:00,801
describing the antics
of this bizarre creature.

226
01:15:00,901 --> 01:15:02,636
Strange that
he never wrote to me.

227
01:15:02,737 --> 01:15:07,141
Ah, the Irving family
are peculiar.

228
01:15:07,241 --> 01:15:08,876
Just to be clear,

229
01:15:08,976 --> 01:15:12,413
did you witness this creature
during your investigation?

230
01:15:12,513 --> 01:15:16,517
Did you observe it
speaking like a human?

231
01:15:16,617 --> 01:15:17,885
No.

232
01:15:17,985 --> 01:15:19,253
No.

233
01:15:19,353 --> 01:15:22,323
But I did hear it.

234
01:15:22,423 --> 01:15:23,391
You did?

235
01:15:23,491 --> 01:15:25,593
Yes. Once.

236
01:15:26,193 --> 01:15:27,928
From another room.

237
01:15:28,029 --> 01:15:29,397
From another room?

238
01:15:30,131 --> 01:15:33,034
And you're certain
it was the creature you heard,

239
01:15:33,134 --> 01:15:34,402
not someone else?

240
01:15:34,503 --> 01:15:36,604
I suppose it could have been.

241
01:15:37,638 --> 01:15:40,708
We were informed
by one of the townspeople

242
01:15:40,808 --> 01:15:43,210
that the daughter, Voirrey,

243
01:15:43,310 --> 01:15:46,714
is an adept ventriloquist.

244
01:15:47,915 --> 01:15:48,783
I'm sorry.

245
01:15:48,883 --> 01:15:51,052
I know how all this sounds.

246
01:16:03,030 --> 01:16:04,131
What's this?

247
01:16:04,231 --> 01:16:05,232
My journal.

248
01:16:05,332 --> 01:16:07,134
It contains notes I took

249
01:16:07,234 --> 01:16:13,274
during the investigation
of the Irving family, and Gef.

250
01:16:19,548 --> 01:16:21,715
An adept ventriloquist.

251
01:16:28,022 --> 01:16:31,158
The people of Cashen's Gap
are nearly unanimous

252
01:16:31,258 --> 01:16:34,695
in their belief in-in Gef.

253
01:16:35,129 --> 01:16:39,967
Many have encountered
the creature, or so they say.

254
01:16:41,435 --> 01:16:42,703
Interesting.

255
01:16:45,940 --> 01:16:48,008
You know who you remind me of?

256
01:16:48,776 --> 01:16:50,044
Who's that?

257
01:16:50,579 --> 01:16:52,246
Harry Houdini.

258
01:16:53,681 --> 01:16:55,983
I'm far less clever than he was.

259
01:16:56,083 --> 01:16:59,086
Perhaps, but your lives
have been quite similar,

260
01:16:59,186 --> 01:17:00,654
in some ways.

261
01:17:02,223 --> 01:17:03,624
I recall,

262
01:17:03,724 --> 01:17:06,093
before you became a skeptic.

263
01:17:06,193 --> 01:17:07,562
I am not a skeptic.

264
01:17:07,661 --> 01:17:09,964
Before you became
what you are,

265
01:17:10,064 --> 01:17:12,066
I distinctly remember
you telling me

266
01:17:12,166 --> 01:17:16,403
the story of the seance
you participated in.

267
01:17:16,904 --> 01:17:20,641
With a voice medium,
William Cartheuser.

268
01:17:20,741 --> 01:17:23,545
You became disillusioned,
with Cartheuser,

269
01:17:24,078 --> 01:17:26,780
with all mediums, as we know.

270
01:17:26,881 --> 01:17:28,482
And yet, you spoke

271
01:17:28,583 --> 01:17:31,752
of the overwhelming
emotional impact

272
01:17:31,852 --> 01:17:34,288
of encountering...

273
01:17:34,388 --> 01:17:36,123
your departed father.

274
01:17:37,258 --> 01:17:38,826
What has this to do
with Houdini?

275
01:17:38,926 --> 01:17:42,696
Humans are obsessed with death.

276
01:17:42,796 --> 01:17:47,401
And with what does
or does not come after it.

277
01:17:47,768 --> 01:17:50,404
You investigate
unnatural occurrences

278
01:17:50,505 --> 01:17:52,406
under the guise of understanding

279
01:17:52,507 --> 01:17:59,346
why humans project
these phantasms into reality.

280
01:17:59,980 --> 01:18:06,120
Why they are incapable of
letting go of these delusions,

281
01:18:06,220 --> 01:18:07,388
as you call them.

282
01:18:08,155 --> 01:18:09,190
Yes.

283
01:18:10,157 --> 01:18:14,461
I think you still
just miss your father.

284
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,102
<i>Houdini was deeply affected</i>

285
01:18:22,203 --> 01:18:25,906
<i>by the death of his mother,</i>
<i>as you know.</i>

286
01:18:26,774 --> 01:18:28,842
<i>He visited a medium</i>

287
01:18:28,943 --> 01:18:32,446
<i>hoping he might be able</i>
<i>to communicate with her.</i>

288
01:18:40,788 --> 01:18:44,659
<i>And he realized</i>
<i>that the medium was a fraud.</i>

289
01:18:44,758 --> 01:18:48,229
<i>So he sought to disprove</i>
<i>all mediums,</i>

290
01:18:48,329 --> 01:18:50,064
<i>to expose all psychics</i>

291
01:18:50,164 --> 01:18:53,834
and spiritualists
as opportunists,

292
01:18:53,934 --> 01:18:56,770
who prey upon the bereaved.

293
01:18:58,005 --> 01:19:01,942
<i>He would attend seances</i>
<i>in disguise,</i>

294
01:19:02,042 --> 01:19:05,913
<i>and would leap forth</i>
<i>and explain to those present</i>

295
01:19:06,013 --> 01:19:08,415
<i>how they were being duped...</i>

296
01:19:08,516 --> 01:19:10,184
You are a fraud!

297
01:19:10,284 --> 01:19:12,753
...demonstrating
the fraudulent methods

298
01:19:12,853 --> 01:19:15,322
the mediums employed.

299
01:19:15,422 --> 01:19:16,658
I've heard these stories.

300
01:19:16,757 --> 01:19:19,460
But he wanted to believe.

301
01:19:19,561 --> 01:19:22,196
He wanted to be mystified.

302
01:19:22,296 --> 01:19:26,867
He wanted to find one
who did understand

303
01:19:26,967 --> 01:19:32,006
so he could communicate
with his dead mother.

304
01:19:32,106 --> 01:19:35,909
<i>Did you know</i>
<i>that he and his wife, Bess,</i>

305
01:19:36,010 --> 01:19:38,312
<i>devised a message</i>

306
01:19:38,779 --> 01:19:41,148
<i>which one or the other</i>
<i>would relay,</i>

307
01:19:41,248 --> 01:19:44,885
<i>via medium, after they passed?</i>

308
01:19:45,352 --> 01:19:49,557
Supposedly they told no one
this message.

309
01:19:49,658 --> 01:19:51,458
<i>I did not know this, no.</i>

310
01:19:56,598 --> 01:19:58,165
After Houdini died,

311
01:19:58,265 --> 01:20:02,936
Bess visited a medium
named Arthur Ford.

312
01:20:03,037 --> 01:20:06,874
<i>And he informed her</i>
<i>he had received a message</i>

313
01:20:06,974 --> 01:20:09,810
<i>from her late husband.</i>

314
01:20:11,378 --> 01:20:12,580
Is that right?

315
01:20:12,946 --> 01:20:16,383
<i>Bess confirmed</i>
<i>that the message was,</i>

316
01:20:16,483 --> 01:20:21,889
<i>in fact, the code,</i>
<i>which only she and Harry knew.</i>

317
01:20:28,797 --> 01:20:32,232
So, what do you think
about that?

318
01:20:35,402 --> 01:20:37,938
I don't think anything
about that.

319
01:20:46,313 --> 01:20:47,281
Anne!

320
01:20:54,756 --> 01:20:56,857
Ow! Who put that there?

321
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:00,461
Anne!

322
01:21:06,534 --> 01:21:07,702
Is everything all right?

323
01:21:07,802 --> 01:21:10,304
We are going
to the Isle of Man.

324
01:21:11,338 --> 01:21:12,373
Golly!

325
01:21:18,580 --> 01:21:20,515
"The most extraordinary part

326
01:21:20,615 --> 01:21:21,783
of this amazing case

327
01:21:21,882 --> 01:21:24,251
is that Mr. Irving
has kept a sort of diary

328
01:21:24,351 --> 01:21:26,320
in the form of letters
of Gef's doings,

329
01:21:26,420 --> 01:21:29,156
and it rivals
the Arabian Nights

330
01:21:29,256 --> 01:21:33,762
in the fantastic improbabilities
which the record contains.

331
01:21:33,862 --> 01:21:36,897
Before me are 200
quarto typed sheets,

332
01:21:36,997 --> 01:21:39,299
and every page
describes a miracle.

333
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,604
I will mention some of the most
interesting incidents."

334
01:21:48,743 --> 01:21:52,647
<i>In June 1932,</i>
<i>Gef began killing rabbits,</i>

335
01:21:52,747 --> 01:21:54,081
<i>for the family.</i>

336
01:21:54,181 --> 01:21:55,315
<i>He strangled them,</i>

337
01:21:55,416 --> 01:21:57,184
<i>and thoughtfully</i>
<i>left them outside</i>

338
01:21:57,284 --> 01:22:00,622
<i>in a convenient position</i>
<i>on the wall.</i>

339
01:22:00,722 --> 01:22:04,124
<i>During the next year or so,</i>
<i>he slaughtered scores of them</i>

340
01:22:04,224 --> 01:22:06,960
<i>and the faunal equilibrium</i>
<i>of the district</i>

341
01:22:07,060 --> 01:22:10,063
<i>was in danger of being upset.</i>

342
01:22:11,733 --> 01:22:13,133
<i>In 1934,</i>

343
01:22:13,233 --> 01:22:16,403
<i>Gef began making little trips</i>
<i>to the nearest town</i>

344
01:22:16,504 --> 01:22:18,773
<i>and on his return,</i>
<i>told the farmer</i>

345
01:22:18,873 --> 01:22:21,241
<i>what certain people</i>
<i>have been doing.</i>

346
01:22:21,341 --> 01:22:23,545
<i>This was proved to be correct.</i>

347
01:22:23,645 --> 01:22:26,915
<i>Then he became clairvoyant</i>
<i>and told the farmer</i>

348
01:22:27,014 --> 01:22:31,118
<i>what was happening ten miles</i>
<i>away without leaving the farm.</i>

349
01:22:31,218 --> 01:22:34,054
<i>Questioned as to whether</i>
<i>he was a "spirit,"</i>

350
01:22:34,154 --> 01:22:38,560
<i>Gef said</i>
<i>"I am an earthbound spirit."</i>

351
01:22:38,660 --> 01:22:42,329
<i>In July of the same year,</i>
<i>Gef began doing tricks.</i>

352
01:22:42,429 --> 01:22:46,166
<i>A person would go outside</i>
<i>onto the farmhouse's porch</i>

353
01:22:46,266 --> 01:22:48,268
<i>and place some pennies</i>
<i>on a stone.</i>

354
01:22:48,368 --> 01:22:50,738
<i>Gef, with his eye</i>
<i>to the door's peephole,</i>

355
01:22:50,839 --> 01:22:55,075
<i>would then say whether</i>
<i>they were heads or tails up.</i>

356
01:22:55,610 --> 01:22:57,812
<i>Sometimes he was right.</i>

357
01:22:58,646 --> 01:23:01,448
<i>Voirrey has even attempted</i>
<i>to photograph him.</i>

358
01:23:01,549 --> 01:23:04,485
<i>But just as she was about</i>
<i>to press the button,</i>

359
01:23:04,586 --> 01:23:08,455
<i>he darted off and was not</i>
<i>heard from for days.</i>

360
01:23:08,556 --> 01:23:11,358
<i>Gef explained that he is afraid</i>
<i>of being caught.</i>

361
01:23:11,458 --> 01:23:14,228
<i>Not by the camera,</i>
<i>but by a trap.</i>

362
01:23:14,328 --> 01:23:16,698
<i>Hence his timidity.</i>

363
01:23:17,765 --> 01:23:21,068
<i>Sometimes Gef follows</i>
<i>the Irvings to the nearest town</i>

364
01:23:21,168 --> 01:23:22,469
<i>when they go marketing.</i>

365
01:23:22,570 --> 01:23:25,540
<i>But always keeps</i>
<i>on the far side of the hedge,</i>

366
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,443
<i>though he chats gaily</i>
<i>all the time.</i>

367
01:23:31,679 --> 01:23:36,651
<i>In March, 1935,</i>
<i>I received some fur and hairs</i>

368
01:23:36,751 --> 01:23:40,855
<i>which Gef had kindly plucked</i>
<i>from his back and tail,</i>

369
01:23:40,955 --> 01:23:43,558
<i>and was asked to identify it.</i>

370
01:23:44,391 --> 01:23:47,595
<i>I forwarded it</i>
<i>to Professor Julian Huxley,</i>

371
01:23:47,695 --> 01:23:51,833
<i>who handed it to</i>
<i>Mr. F. Martin Duncan, F.Z.S.,</i>

372
01:23:51,933 --> 01:23:54,969
<i>the authority on hair and fur.</i>

373
01:23:55,068 --> 01:23:57,170
<i>In a letter to me, he says:</i>

374
01:23:57,271 --> 01:23:59,974
I have carefully examined them
microscopically

375
01:24:00,073 --> 01:24:02,810
and compared them
with hairs of known origin.

376
01:24:03,243 --> 01:24:05,547
As a result,
I can very definitely state

377
01:24:05,647 --> 01:24:08,883
that these specimen hairs
never grew upon a mongoose,

378
01:24:09,383 --> 01:24:13,287
nor are they those of a rat,
rabbit, hare, squirrel,

379
01:24:13,387 --> 01:24:17,190
or other rodent,
or sheep, goat, or cow.

380
01:24:17,825 --> 01:24:21,094
I am inclined
that these hairs have probably

381
01:24:21,194 --> 01:24:25,465
been taken from
a longish-haired dog or dogs.

382
01:24:26,568 --> 01:24:28,903
<i>Mr. Irving wrote</i>
<i>that he would be delighted</i>

383
01:24:29,003 --> 01:24:32,941
<i>to see me and would make</i>
<i>all arrangements for my visit.</i>

384
01:24:33,041 --> 01:24:35,242
<i>Unfortunately,</i>
<i>on receipt of the letter</i>

385
01:24:35,342 --> 01:24:38,880
<i>announcing my decision,</i>
<i>Gef suddenly disappeared.</i>

386
01:24:39,379 --> 01:24:41,649
<i>At the end of the month,</i>
<i>he was still missing,</i>

387
01:24:41,749 --> 01:24:44,018
<i>but I decided</i>
<i>not to alter my plans.</i>

388
01:24:44,117 --> 01:24:45,620
<i>And as I wanted a witness</i>

389
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,322
<i>in case Gef should put</i>
<i>in an appearance,</i>

390
01:24:48,422 --> 01:24:52,426
<i>I asked Mr. R.S. Lambert,</i>
<i>the editor of</i> The Listener,

391
01:24:52,527 --> 01:24:54,461
<i>if he would accompany me.</i>

392
01:24:55,029 --> 01:24:58,066
<i>Upon our arrival to the Isle,</i>
<i>we decided to visit</i>

393
01:24:58,165 --> 01:25:00,100
<i>the haunt of Gef right away.</i>

394
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,637
<i>As we approached,</i>
<i>Mr. Lambert and I</i>

395
01:25:02,737 --> 01:25:07,675
<i>were startled by an animal</i>
<i>bounding toward us.</i>

396
01:25:08,475 --> 01:25:10,444
<i>But it was only Ralph,</i>

397
01:25:10,545 --> 01:25:12,346
<i>the Irving's</i>
<i>three-year-old dog,</i>

398
01:25:12,446 --> 01:25:15,550
<i>who had heard</i>
<i>his master's voice.</i>

399
01:25:16,985 --> 01:25:21,421
<i>We at last reached the house</i>
<i>and were introduced to Voirrey,</i>

400
01:25:21,522 --> 01:25:26,060
<i>a good-looking girl of 17</i>
<i>who we found very intelligent,</i>

401
01:25:26,159 --> 01:25:28,261
<i>shy, and rather quiet.</i>

402
01:25:28,362 --> 01:25:31,331
<i>Mrs. Irving is a charming</i>
<i>and dignified lady</i>

403
01:25:31,431 --> 01:25:33,200
<i>who gave us a friendly welcome</i>

404
01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:36,537
<i>and asked us</i>
<i>to make ourselves at home.</i>

405
01:25:36,638 --> 01:25:40,108
<i>Mr. Irving was a successful</i>
<i>Liverpool businessman</i>

406
01:25:40,207 --> 01:25:41,809
<i>who, at the beginning</i>
<i>of the War,</i>

407
01:25:41,909 --> 01:25:43,077
<i>bought the farmstead,</i>

408
01:25:43,176 --> 01:25:46,146
<i>hoping to make a living</i>
<i>breeding sheep.</i>

409
01:25:46,246 --> 01:25:48,116
<i>As we sat around</i>
<i>the paraffin lamp</i>

410
01:25:48,215 --> 01:25:50,585
<i>in the small,</i>
<i>dark-paneled parlor,</i>

411
01:25:50,685 --> 01:25:53,420
<i>we heard the Gef story</i>
<i>all over again.</i>

412
01:25:53,521 --> 01:25:56,189
<i>Mr. Lambert and I</i>
<i>plied the Irvings</i>

413
01:25:56,289 --> 01:25:59,292
<i>with innumerable questions</i>
<i>and received answers</i>

414
01:25:59,393 --> 01:26:01,228
<i>which invariably tallied</i>

415
01:26:01,328 --> 01:26:04,966
<i>with what Mr. Irving</i>
<i>had recorded in his letters.</i>

416
01:26:06,034 --> 01:26:11,338
<i>The family was heartbroken</i>
<i>by Gef's continued absence.</i>

417
01:26:11,438 --> 01:26:14,042
<i>Mrs. Irving</i>
<i>was convinced the mongoose</i>

418
01:26:14,142 --> 01:26:16,077
<i>was still about the house.</i>

419
01:26:16,611 --> 01:26:20,615
<i>Probably listening</i>
<i>to every word we were saying.</i>

420
01:26:22,784 --> 01:26:24,852
<i>She addressed</i>
<i>a few words to Gef</i>

421
01:26:24,952 --> 01:26:26,587
<i>in the hope that her appeal</i>

422
01:26:26,688 --> 01:26:29,857
<i>would strike a sympathetic</i>
<i>chord somewhere.</i>

423
01:26:29,957 --> 01:26:32,325
<i>There was no response.</i>

424
01:26:32,426 --> 01:26:34,128
<i>Then I addressed</i>
<i>a little speech</i>

425
01:26:34,261 --> 01:26:36,430
<i>to the four walls</i>
<i>of the living room,</i>

426
01:26:36,531 --> 01:26:38,398
<i>hoping Gef would hear me.</i>

427
01:26:38,498 --> 01:26:41,869
<i>I pointed out that we had come</i>
<i>a long way on his account,</i>

428
01:26:41,969 --> 01:26:45,338
<i>and that we were entitled</i>
<i>to some manifestation.</i>

429
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,842
<i>A few words,</i>
<i>a scream, a squeak,</i>

430
01:26:47,942 --> 01:26:51,278
<i>or just a simple scratch</i>
<i>behind the paneling.</i>

431
01:26:51,378 --> 01:26:54,782
<i>I even invited him</i>
<i>to throw something at me.</i>

432
01:26:54,882 --> 01:26:56,718
<i>But all to no purpose.</i>

433
01:26:56,818 --> 01:27:00,788
<i>Gef was definitely</i>
<i>not in a talking mood.</i>

434
01:27:03,490 --> 01:27:06,861
<i>Neither Mr. Lambert</i>
<i>nor I slept very well.</i>

435
01:27:06,961 --> 01:27:09,997
<i>The mongoose problem</i>
<i>obsessed our minds</i>

436
01:27:10,098 --> 01:27:12,232
<i>and made sleep difficult.</i>

437
01:27:12,332 --> 01:27:15,703
<i>Was the whole affair</i>
<i>a fraud from A to Z?</i>

438
01:27:15,803 --> 01:27:18,873
<i>Was it a plot</i>
<i>lasting four years?</i>

439
01:27:18,973 --> 01:27:21,274
<i>If so, what was the motive?</i>

440
01:27:21,374 --> 01:27:23,778
<i>Were the Irvings engaged</i>
<i>in a clever,</i>

441
01:27:23,878 --> 01:27:26,246
<i>picturesque conspiracy?</i>

442
01:27:26,346 --> 01:27:29,282
<i>Was there any</i>
<i>sort of animal at all?</i>

443
01:27:29,382 --> 01:27:32,352
<i>Was there any real evidence</i>
<i>whatsoever</i>

444
01:27:32,452 --> 01:27:34,589
<i>that Gef had been heard?</i>

445
01:27:34,689 --> 01:27:35,890
<i>If a plot...</i>

446
01:27:35,990 --> 01:27:37,859
<i>there was no apparent motive,</i>

447
01:27:37,959 --> 01:27:39,794
<i>no financial gain.</i>

448
01:27:44,198 --> 01:27:47,935
<i>The next morning we awoke to</i>
<i>the news that Gef had returned</i>

449
01:27:48,035 --> 01:27:50,772
<i>and been talking</i>
<i>throughout much of the night.</i>

450
01:27:50,872 --> 01:27:53,440
<i>Incidentally,</i>
<i>Gef had informed the farmer</i>

451
01:27:53,541 --> 01:27:56,443
<i>that he had taken</i>
<i>a sly glance at me</i>

452
01:27:56,544 --> 01:28:00,313
<i>and did not like how I looked.</i>

453
01:28:00,413 --> 01:28:03,316
<i>So I was told to stand</i>
<i>in a certain position</i>

454
01:28:03,416 --> 01:28:06,921
<i>on the floor and cry out</i>
<i>"I believe in you, Gef!"</i>

455
01:28:07,420 --> 01:28:09,657
I believe in you, Gef!

456
01:28:09,757 --> 01:28:12,392
<i>There came a shrill scream</i>
<i>from upstairs.</i>

457
01:28:12,492 --> 01:28:15,462
<i>So once again I called out,</i>
<i>this time saying</i>

458
01:28:15,563 --> 01:28:17,965
<i>"Won't you come down?</i>
<i>I believe in you!"</i>

459
01:28:18,065 --> 01:28:19,299
<i>To which Gef replied,</i>

460
01:28:19,399 --> 01:28:21,569
<i>"No, I don't mean to stay long,</i>

461
01:28:21,669 --> 01:28:23,336
<i>as I don't like you!"</i>

462
01:28:23,436 --> 01:28:24,872
<i>As the mongoose was talking,</i>

463
01:28:24,972 --> 01:28:28,276
<i>Mr. Lambert crept</i>
<i>toward the stairs.</i>

464
01:28:28,375 --> 01:28:29,610
<i>But unfortunately,</i>

465
01:28:29,710 --> 01:28:31,646
<i>the top stair</i>
<i>had a loose tread,</i>

466
01:28:31,746 --> 01:28:34,347
<i>which he stepped on</i>
<i>and went tumbling down,</i>

467
01:28:34,447 --> 01:28:36,416
<i>making a terrible noise.</i>

468
01:28:36,517 --> 01:28:39,987
<i>Gef shrieked out</i>
<i>"He is coming!" and vanished.</i>

469
01:28:46,426 --> 01:28:48,896
<i>The Irvings</i>
<i>were kindness personified,</i>

470
01:28:48,996 --> 01:28:53,601
<i>and did everything for us,</i>
<i>except produce Gef.</i>

471
01:28:55,236 --> 01:28:58,673
<i>Mr. Irving personally</i>
<i>conducted us over the house</i>

472
01:28:58,773 --> 01:29:01,576
<i>and pointed out Gef's haunts.</i>

473
01:29:02,043 --> 01:29:04,377
<i>We saw numerous peepholes,</i>

474
01:29:04,477 --> 01:29:06,379
<i>cracks through which Gef</i>
<i>threw things</i>

475
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:08,282
<i>at doubting visitors.</i>

476
01:29:08,816 --> 01:29:11,185
<i>Squint-holes</i>
<i>through which the mongoose</i>

477
01:29:11,285 --> 01:29:12,587
<i>watches the Irvings.</i>

478
01:29:12,687 --> 01:29:14,522
<i>We saw the runs behind paneling</i>

479
01:29:14,622 --> 01:29:17,225
<i>by which Gef can skip, unseen,</i>

480
01:29:17,325 --> 01:29:19,527
<i>from one room to another.</i>

481
01:29:19,627 --> 01:29:21,162
<i>The fact that every room</i>
<i>is paneled</i>

482
01:29:21,262 --> 01:29:24,665
<i>makes the whole house</i>
<i>one enormous speaking-tube,</i>

483
01:29:24,765 --> 01:29:27,902
<i>with walls</i>
<i>like sounding-boards.</i>

484
01:29:29,971 --> 01:29:33,207
<i>In Voirrey's room</i>
<i>we were shown Gef's "sanctum,"</i>

485
01:29:33,307 --> 01:29:35,309
<i>which was a boxed partition,</i>

486
01:29:35,408 --> 01:29:37,945
<i>on top of which Gef</i>
<i>was said to dance</i>

487
01:29:38,045 --> 01:29:42,316
<i>to the gramophone</i>
<i>and bounce his favorite ball.</i>

488
01:29:43,217 --> 01:29:47,088
<i>By speaking into one of the</i>
<i>many apertures in the panels,</i>

489
01:29:47,188 --> 01:29:48,455
<i>it should be possible</i>

490
01:29:48,556 --> 01:29:50,091
<i>to convey the voice</i>

491
01:29:50,191 --> 01:29:52,392
<i>to various parts of the house.</i>

492
01:29:55,730 --> 01:29:58,933
<i>Apparently,</i>
<i>Gef often does this.</i>

493
01:30:08,009 --> 01:30:08,809
Can I fetch you a drink?

494
01:30:08,910 --> 01:30:11,579
Thank you.
No, um, I'm exhausted.

495
01:30:11,679 --> 01:30:14,248
I think I'm going
to retire early.

496
01:30:14,348 --> 01:30:16,083
Tomorrow should be
interesting.

497
01:30:17,184 --> 01:30:19,754
I'm going to go to
the, uh, pub for a nightcap.

498
01:30:19,854 --> 01:30:21,555
Unless there's anything else
you might need?

499
01:30:22,390 --> 01:30:23,858
Uh, no, by all means.

500
01:30:23,958 --> 01:30:28,329
And, um, if you happen to see
any talking mongeese...

501
01:30:31,265 --> 01:30:32,700
It's mongooses,
I believe.

502
01:30:33,167 --> 01:30:36,170
Well, if you happen to see
any of either then,

503
01:30:36,737 --> 01:30:38,139
inform me right away.

504
01:30:38,239 --> 01:30:39,640
Yes, of course.

505
01:30:39,740 --> 01:30:42,109
Night.
Good night.

506
01:30:54,021 --> 01:30:55,189
Good evening.

507
01:30:57,692 --> 01:31:00,594
And to you.
Is the bar closed?

508
01:31:01,963 --> 01:31:04,098
What would you like to drink,
m'dear?

509
01:31:06,267 --> 01:31:07,635
A whiskey.

510
01:31:08,803 --> 01:31:11,539
I dunno if it's good whiskey
I'm afraid.

511
01:31:12,173 --> 01:31:13,841
Well, shouldn't we wait for...

512
01:31:13,941 --> 01:31:14,976
For whom?

513
01:31:32,927 --> 01:31:35,262
Here to see ol' Gef, right?

514
01:31:36,630 --> 01:31:38,833
I am the assistant
to Dr. Nandor Fodor,

515
01:31:38,933 --> 01:31:40,935
the world's
foremost parapsychologist.

516
01:31:41,035 --> 01:31:43,304
And we are here
to investigate a possible

517
01:31:43,404 --> 01:31:45,106
supernatural occurrence

518
01:31:45,206 --> 01:31:47,274
involving an entity known as,

519
01:31:48,009 --> 01:31:49,877
yes, Gef.

520
01:31:49,977 --> 01:31:51,012
Hm.

521
01:31:51,712 --> 01:31:53,681
Gef ain't supernatural.

522
01:31:55,483 --> 01:31:57,084
He's an earth spirit.

523
01:31:58,686 --> 01:32:00,721
Told me that hisself, he did.

524
01:32:02,423 --> 01:32:03,891
Have you encountered him?

525
01:32:05,393 --> 01:32:06,794
Indeed I have.

526
01:32:08,162 --> 01:32:09,196
Once.

527
01:32:09,997 --> 01:32:12,133
Were near two years past now.

528
01:32:14,001 --> 01:32:16,470
Did you see him?
Can you describe him?

529
01:32:16,570 --> 01:32:19,073
Were but only
for the briefest of moments.

530
01:32:20,841 --> 01:32:23,177
And outta the corner
of me eye.

531
01:32:25,212 --> 01:32:26,414
Oh, I see.

532
01:32:26,515 --> 01:32:27,615
But I heard him speak.

533
01:32:30,317 --> 01:32:31,752
Clear as day.

534
01:32:40,928 --> 01:32:43,664
<i>It were after the funeral rites</i>
<i>Father Penzen read</i>

535
01:32:43,764 --> 01:32:45,633
<i>for my beloved Helen.</i>

536
01:32:47,334 --> 01:32:48,369
<i>Is that your wife?</i>

537
01:32:48,469 --> 01:32:49,737
<i>Aye.</i>

538
01:32:51,639 --> 01:32:53,741
<i>Nigh onto 30 years.</i>

539
01:32:54,775 --> 01:32:56,877
<i>It was consumption took her...</i>

540
01:32:58,479 --> 01:32:59,914
before her time.

541
01:33:00,414 --> 01:33:02,183
I am very sorry.

542
01:33:02,283 --> 01:33:03,951
I'd had a few that day.

543
01:33:04,585 --> 01:33:06,987
<i>I wasn't copin' too well</i>
<i>with her loss.</i>

544
01:33:07,522 --> 01:33:09,524
<i>So by's time</i>
<i>the rites had been read,</i>

545
01:33:09,623 --> 01:33:11,659
<i>I had to piss somethin' fierce.</i>

546
01:33:16,230 --> 01:33:18,833
So I went 'round the side
of that old church,

547
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,001
where I'd be outta sight.

548
01:33:22,837 --> 01:33:26,207
<i>And it was when I was standin'</i>
<i>there, pissin',</i>

549
01:33:29,376 --> 01:33:30,778
that I heard him.

550
01:33:33,013 --> 01:33:34,549
Gef?
Aye.

551
01:33:41,956 --> 01:33:44,225
<i>He recited a poem to me.</i>

552
01:33:46,994 --> 01:33:52,399
And even now, rememberin',
I get a bit blubbery.

553
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:02,810
"I dreamed that one
had died in a strange place

554
01:34:02,910 --> 01:34:04,579
Near no accustomed hand

555
01:34:04,678 --> 01:34:07,314
And they had nailed
the boards above her face

556
01:34:07,414 --> 01:34:09,383
The peasants of that land

557
01:34:09,483 --> 01:34:12,286
Wondering to lay her
in that solitude

558
01:34:12,386 --> 01:34:13,988
And raised above her mound

559
01:34:14,088 --> 01:34:17,358
A cross they had made
out of two bits of wood

560
01:34:17,458 --> 01:34:19,293
And planted cypress round

561
01:34:19,393 --> 01:34:22,696
And left her
to the indifferent stars above

562
01:34:22,796 --> 01:34:25,266
Until I carved these words

563
01:34:25,366 --> 01:34:29,470
She was more beautiful
than thy first love

564
01:34:29,571 --> 01:34:33,440
But now lies under boards..."

565
01:34:38,279 --> 01:34:40,981
That were the day
I finally quit drinkin'.

566
01:34:49,190 --> 01:34:51,358
That poem was by Yeats,
wasn't it?

567
01:34:51,725 --> 01:34:53,027
It's "A Dream of Death."

568
01:34:53,127 --> 01:34:54,195
Aye.

569
01:34:55,296 --> 01:34:59,266
But it weren't only the poem
itself that struck me so.

570
01:35:01,402 --> 01:35:02,870
It were that voice.

571
01:35:05,005 --> 01:35:07,274
That voice
that got inside of me.

572
01:35:09,310 --> 01:35:14,481
Felt like it were playin' up
my spinal cord like piano keys.

573
01:35:15,684 --> 01:35:16,750
I see.

574
01:35:16,850 --> 01:35:18,085
I'd been numb.

575
01:35:18,719 --> 01:35:19,954
See?

576
01:35:22,456 --> 01:35:24,491
Unaccepting that she were gone.

577
01:35:28,162 --> 01:35:32,466
It were the first time I allowed
myself to feel the pain.

578
01:35:35,604 --> 01:35:37,104
I needed to.

579
01:35:38,506 --> 01:35:39,940
I needed to.

580
01:35:40,508 --> 01:35:42,109
I understand.

581
01:35:50,050 --> 01:35:53,387
Ya wanna know the strangest
part of the whole story, though?

582
01:35:56,323 --> 01:35:59,193
There's something stranger
than what you just told me?

583
01:36:00,562 --> 01:36:01,895
Aye.

584
01:36:03,464 --> 01:36:06,534
My Helen passed in April of '33.

585
01:36:07,835 --> 01:36:11,205
Good Friday,
if you can believe it.

586
01:36:12,574 --> 01:36:13,941
Oh.

587
01:36:14,475 --> 01:36:18,245
That poem, Yeats, as you know,

588
01:36:20,047 --> 01:36:23,350
it weren't published
until the summer of '34.

589
01:36:24,586 --> 01:36:25,819
Oh.

590
01:36:26,554 --> 01:36:27,522
Hm.

591
01:36:27,622 --> 01:36:29,189
You don't believe me, do ya?

592
01:36:30,525 --> 01:36:33,193
Well, it was a very sad story.

593
01:36:33,294 --> 01:36:34,128
Aye.

594
01:36:37,898 --> 01:36:40,334
You must understand,
Dr. Fodor has instilled in me

595
01:36:40,434 --> 01:36:42,436
a tremendous skepticism.

596
01:36:43,904 --> 01:36:46,040
He always says,
"Believe only that

597
01:36:46,140 --> 01:36:47,941
which can be seen and heard,

598
01:36:48,042 --> 01:36:52,514
touched, detected
by instruments of science.

599
01:36:52,614 --> 01:36:54,181
Believe not words,

600
01:36:54,281 --> 01:36:58,852
but provable, observable facts."

601
01:37:03,090 --> 01:37:05,092
And that's how ya live, then?

602
01:37:08,162 --> 01:37:10,397
I mean, Dr. Fodor
is a brilliant man.

603
01:37:14,868 --> 01:37:17,371
Your story's as sad as mine,
I think.

604
01:37:19,574 --> 01:37:20,941
In its own way.

605
01:38:04,586 --> 01:38:06,320
Hey. Hey.

606
01:38:08,122 --> 01:38:10,124
You must be Dr. Fodor.
Yeah. Hello.

607
01:38:10,224 --> 01:38:11,892
You must be Anne.
How do you do?

608
01:38:11,992 --> 01:38:13,427
Delighted to make
your acquaintance!

609
01:38:13,528 --> 01:38:14,928
Welcome to Cashen's Gap!

610
01:38:15,028 --> 01:38:16,598
I see you've already met
our mayor!

611
01:38:17,398 --> 01:38:18,966
We're all very excited
that you're here.

612
01:38:19,066 --> 01:38:20,869
Dr. Price spoke
quite highly of you.

613
01:38:20,968 --> 01:38:22,670
Now, he was a lovely man,
he was.

614
01:38:22,771 --> 01:38:24,438
Oh. Indeed.

615
01:38:24,539 --> 01:38:25,740
Best of luck to you.

616
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,474
Oh, thank you, Maurice.

617
01:38:27,575 --> 01:38:28,676
Mayor.

618
01:38:30,277 --> 01:38:32,045
Have to drive you
rest of the way to the house

619
01:38:32,146 --> 01:38:33,615
if that's all right with you.

620
01:38:33,715 --> 01:38:35,650
The, uh, grade can be a bit more

621
01:38:35,750 --> 01:38:37,752
uneven at times, I'm afraid.

622
01:38:38,152 --> 01:38:39,953
I think we will be fine.

623
01:38:42,322 --> 01:38:44,057
The warmth of this winter
in particular,

624
01:38:44,158 --> 01:38:47,027
makes it very suitable
for cultivation of apricots.

625
01:38:47,127 --> 01:38:49,496
Delicious little darlings,
if you've never had 'un.

626
01:38:50,364 --> 01:38:52,166
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Oh, gosh.

627
01:38:52,266 --> 01:38:56,170
And here, closer to the water,
the soil's a lot lighter,

628
01:38:56,270 --> 01:38:59,707
more akin to sand, so
the cherry trees just love it.

629
01:38:59,808 --> 01:39:01,208
You can see 'em there.

630
01:39:03,477 --> 01:39:04,612
What?

631
01:39:15,422 --> 01:39:17,892
And with how warm it's been,
as I mentioned,

632
01:39:17,991 --> 01:39:20,628
you know, the fruit's
just been growin' so well.

633
01:39:20,728 --> 01:39:22,463
Last year was more profitable
than the previous,

634
01:39:22,564 --> 01:39:24,164
which had been more profitable
than the previous.

635
01:39:24,264 --> 01:39:26,366
And this year, you know,
set to be the best yet.

636
01:39:26,467 --> 01:39:29,403
You know, it's more work,
but it's rewarding, in its way.

637
01:39:29,504 --> 01:39:32,674
Oh, Dr. Fodor,
this is my wife, Margaret.

638
01:39:32,774 --> 01:39:34,709
Maggie,
this is Dr. Nandor Fodor,

639
01:39:34,809 --> 01:39:36,043
and his assistant, Anne.

640
01:39:36,143 --> 01:39:38,746
It's a real pleasure
to meet ya, Dr. Fodor.

641
01:39:38,847 --> 01:39:43,417
Dr. Price spoke so admiringly
of ya in his letters.

642
01:39:43,518 --> 01:39:46,019
I wanted to have read your book
before you arrived,

643
01:39:46,119 --> 01:39:48,255
but when I ordered it
from Pavel's in town,

644
01:39:48,355 --> 01:39:50,558
they said it'd be a month
before a copy came.

645
01:39:50,658 --> 01:39:55,128
Well, that is very kind,
and, uh, entirely unnecessary.

646
01:39:56,196 --> 01:39:59,166
And aren't you
a beautiful thing?

647
01:39:59,634 --> 01:40:01,936
Such eleemosynary eyes.

648
01:40:02,035 --> 01:40:03,370
Hello.

649
01:40:04,004 --> 01:40:06,406
Married, are you? Hmm?

650
01:40:07,207 --> 01:40:09,276
Oh. Oh, no.

651
01:40:09,777 --> 01:40:11,245
I'm sor... I'm...

652
01:40:11,345 --> 01:40:13,615
No. I'm-I'm-I'm...

653
01:40:13,715 --> 01:40:15,717
I'm Dr. Fodor's assistant.

654
01:40:17,284 --> 01:40:19,621
I didn't mean to each other,
silly girl.

655
01:40:19,721 --> 01:40:22,256
Though by your reaction,
perhaps I touched

656
01:40:22,356 --> 01:40:25,092
on a subject
that's a wee bit sore.

657
01:40:25,192 --> 01:40:26,193
For God's sake.

658
01:40:26,293 --> 01:40:27,795
I meant are you married at all!

659
01:40:27,896 --> 01:40:29,697
You've a figure suitable
for birthin'.

660
01:40:29,797 --> 01:40:30,798
Um...

661
01:40:30,899 --> 01:40:32,534
May I see your hand?

662
01:40:32,634 --> 01:40:33,768
Oh, gosh, yes.

663
01:40:33,868 --> 01:40:36,403
So, your love line...
Oh, here.

664
01:40:36,504 --> 01:40:38,071
All right, all right,
that's enough of that.

665
01:40:38,171 --> 01:40:39,874
They haven't come all this way
to hear you prattle on.

666
01:40:39,974 --> 01:40:40,942
I'm sorry.

667
01:40:41,041 --> 01:40:43,511
And you must be Voirrey.

668
01:40:44,044 --> 01:40:45,547
Pleased to meet you,
Dr. Fodor.

669
01:40:45,647 --> 01:40:49,617
Dr. Price mentioned that you are
an accomplished ventriloquist.

670
01:40:50,150 --> 01:40:52,252
Oh.

671
01:40:52,352 --> 01:40:55,055
I wouldn't consider
myself accomplished, sir.

672
01:40:55,623 --> 01:40:57,025
Self-taught, are we?

673
01:40:57,592 --> 01:41:01,194
Yes, sir. Used to make my dolls
talk, when I was a girl.

674
01:41:01,295 --> 01:41:02,564
One day I scared
my friend, Saoirse,

675
01:41:02,664 --> 01:41:05,033
'cause she thought
they were really talkin'.

676
01:41:05,132 --> 01:41:06,199
Fascinating.

677
01:41:06,300 --> 01:41:08,201
Oh, this is my hand, Errol.

678
01:41:08,302 --> 01:41:10,905
He, uh, sees to the house,
tends the crops with me.

679
01:41:11,005 --> 01:41:12,339
He lives in the guest house.

680
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:14,408
I'm honored to make your
acquaintance, Dr. Fodor.

681
01:41:14,509 --> 01:41:15,843
And I yours.

682
01:41:15,944 --> 01:41:17,579
And who are these?

683
01:41:17,679 --> 01:41:19,112
Ralph and Rolf.

684
01:41:19,212 --> 01:41:20,982
Which one is this?

685
01:41:21,081 --> 01:41:22,050
That's Rolf.

686
01:41:22,149 --> 01:41:23,851
Rolf?

687
01:41:25,285 --> 01:41:27,889
Well, thank you
for introducing us

688
01:41:27,989 --> 01:41:30,825
to your lovely family,
uh, Mr. Irving.

689
01:41:30,925 --> 01:41:33,327
We have, as you said,
traveled a great distance,

690
01:41:33,427 --> 01:41:35,128
in the hope that we might meet

691
01:41:35,228 --> 01:41:37,130
another member
of your household.

692
01:41:37,230 --> 01:41:39,901
Yes, of course,
you're here to see Gef.

693
01:41:40,001 --> 01:41:41,234
Indeed.

694
01:41:41,335 --> 01:41:43,871
Now, uh, is the creature here?
May we see him?

695
01:41:44,304 --> 01:41:46,106
Creature? Uh, well.

696
01:41:46,206 --> 01:41:48,710
Gef is always here,
you know, you might say.

697
01:41:48,810 --> 01:41:50,778
He's always about. Um...

698
01:41:51,613 --> 01:41:53,681
But he is not currently
in the house.

699
01:41:53,781 --> 01:41:57,351
At the moment.
He left about a week ago.

700
01:41:57,451 --> 01:41:59,319
Shortly after we informed him
you were comin' actually.

701
01:41:59,419 --> 01:42:02,122
He, um, he gets a bit upset,
you know, when we bring

702
01:42:02,222 --> 01:42:03,825
experts in to see him.

703
01:42:03,925 --> 01:42:05,359
Yeah, he sees it as an insult.

704
01:42:05,459 --> 01:42:07,061
He says he knows he exists,
so why's he got

705
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:08,362
to prove it to anyone else?

706
01:42:08,462 --> 01:42:09,530
Ah.

707
01:42:09,631 --> 01:42:11,431
Nothin' to worry about,
you know, I assure you!

708
01:42:11,532 --> 01:42:14,201
As I said, Gef's always here,
this is his home.

709
01:42:14,301 --> 01:42:16,336
If I had to guess,
I would say the wee rascal's

710
01:42:16,436 --> 01:42:18,539
probably watchin' us right now.

711
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:20,140
Yeah.

712
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:21,509
Tryin' to get the measure of ya.

713
01:42:24,879 --> 01:42:26,380
No, but there's a cave,

714
01:42:26,480 --> 01:42:27,982
about half a mile
up the mountain,

715
01:42:28,082 --> 01:42:30,018
and often that
when he's not in the house

716
01:42:30,118 --> 01:42:31,519
that's where I'll find him.

717
01:42:31,619 --> 01:42:33,788
That's almost certain
where he's gonna be.

718
01:42:35,455 --> 01:42:37,324
Anyway, come inside
and have a cuppa tea.

719
01:42:37,424 --> 01:42:39,927
My wife's baked a raspberry
tart you've just got to taste.

720
01:42:40,028 --> 01:42:42,295
Oh, that sounds lovely.

721
01:42:42,396 --> 01:42:43,865
Come on. Come on.

722
01:43:05,086 --> 01:43:07,287
I've found that when Gef's not
here in the house with us,

723
01:43:07,387 --> 01:43:08,990
oftentimes he can be
found in a cave

724
01:43:09,090 --> 01:43:10,591
toward the top of the mountain.

725
01:43:10,692 --> 01:43:13,761
And I'd wager
that's where he is now.

726
01:43:13,861 --> 01:43:14,929
I see.

727
01:43:15,596 --> 01:43:17,098
A bit of a hike
to get there, though.

728
01:43:17,197 --> 01:43:18,733
You know, it's all uphill,

729
01:43:18,833 --> 01:43:20,001
the trail's a bit uneven.

730
01:43:20,535 --> 01:43:21,903
Doesn't bother Gef
much, I presume,

731
01:43:22,003 --> 01:43:23,071
with his quick
little feet.

732
01:43:23,171 --> 01:43:24,304
But might prove a bit
more trying

733
01:43:24,404 --> 01:43:25,840
for our awkward
human paws.

734
01:43:27,675 --> 01:43:31,946
So... not here at the moment,
as we've determined.

735
01:43:33,181 --> 01:43:34,982
Don't know what else
to do with the day.

736
01:43:35,750 --> 01:43:36,884
Well...

737
01:43:37,484 --> 01:43:39,319
let's see that cave.

738
01:43:43,157 --> 01:43:46,259
Do you know how many breeds
of sheep there are in the world?

739
01:43:47,962 --> 01:43:50,230
I confess I do not.

740
01:43:50,330 --> 01:43:51,866
Many thousands.

741
01:43:54,334 --> 01:43:55,970
Although only a rare few

742
01:43:56,070 --> 01:43:57,404
are what we call
"fine wool"

743
01:43:57,505 --> 01:43:58,906
but they're not
as common here.

744
01:43:59,006 --> 01:44:01,542
Although I've had a lot
of success with Rambouillet,

745
01:44:01,642 --> 01:44:04,344
although they generally
don't prefer the rain.

746
01:44:06,413 --> 01:44:07,815
Fascinating.

747
01:44:09,416 --> 01:44:10,918
What's fascinating?

748
01:44:11,018 --> 01:44:12,153
Sheep.

749
01:44:12,252 --> 01:44:13,855
Oh. Oh.

750
01:44:24,866 --> 01:44:26,701
All right. Here we are.

751
01:44:26,801 --> 01:44:29,504
One of Gef's favorite
hiding spots.

752
01:44:30,772 --> 01:44:31,806
Gef!

753
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,575
Gef! You in there, old boy?

754
01:44:34,675 --> 01:44:38,045
I got Dr. Fodor and his lovely
assistant here to see you.

755
01:44:38,513 --> 01:44:40,248
See, the cave goes in
a fair bit.

756
01:44:40,347 --> 01:44:42,282
Because he ain't answerin'
and we can't see him,

757
01:44:42,382 --> 01:44:44,152
doesn't mean he ain't here.

758
01:44:48,890 --> 01:44:51,291
You know, perhaps--
you don't have to, of course,

759
01:44:51,391 --> 01:44:54,494
but perhaps if you
announce yourself to him,

760
01:44:54,595 --> 01:44:57,397
just say there's absolutely
no doubt in your mind he's real

761
01:44:57,497 --> 01:44:59,934
and that might assuage
any concerns he may have,

762
01:45:00,034 --> 01:45:01,636
and convince him
to show himself.

763
01:45:03,403 --> 01:45:05,239
What exactly would you
like me to say?

764
01:45:05,338 --> 01:45:07,374
Just that.
Just tell him who you are,

765
01:45:07,474 --> 01:45:08,743
and that you're certain
he's real,

766
01:45:08,843 --> 01:45:10,211
and that you mean
no harm to him.

767
01:45:10,310 --> 01:45:11,546
Not here to
vivisect him or anything.

768
01:45:11,646 --> 01:45:13,281
Let's just say hello.

769
01:45:13,380 --> 01:45:15,016
Hello?
Hm.

770
01:45:15,116 --> 01:45:17,919
Hello. Very well.

771
01:45:25,660 --> 01:45:26,794
Hello.

772
01:45:28,229 --> 01:45:29,230
Hello, Gef.

773
01:45:30,898 --> 01:45:33,568
Go on, go on.
Right.

774
01:45:34,168 --> 01:45:36,904
My name is Dr. Nandor Fodor.

775
01:45:37,738 --> 01:45:39,006
And, um...

776
01:45:39,774 --> 01:45:42,643
Mr. Irving has instructed me
to inform you

777
01:45:42,743 --> 01:45:47,048
that I believe that,
uh, you exist.

778
01:45:47,148 --> 01:45:48,649
And, uh...

779
01:45:50,117 --> 01:45:55,223
I would add that, um, if you are
currently residing in this cave,

780
01:45:55,323 --> 01:45:59,260
would you be amenable
to venturing out

781
01:45:59,359 --> 01:46:01,996
so that we may converse?

782
01:46:04,298 --> 01:46:06,499
I am very excited

783
01:46:06,601 --> 01:46:08,569
to make your acquaintance.

784
01:46:11,639 --> 01:46:13,007
How was that?
That was brilliant.

785
01:46:13,107 --> 01:46:14,308
Really good.
Brilliant.

786
01:46:14,407 --> 01:46:15,509
Yeah.

787
01:46:15,610 --> 01:46:17,377
You know, if he is in there,

788
01:46:17,477 --> 01:46:19,446
I've absolutely
no doubt in my mind

789
01:46:19,547 --> 01:46:20,815
that speech is certain
to draw him out.

790
01:46:20,915 --> 01:46:22,149
Really?

791
01:46:27,889 --> 01:46:30,157
Damn. Oh, damn.

792
01:46:31,092 --> 01:46:32,293
What?

793
01:46:32,392 --> 01:46:34,427
I'm truly sorry, Dr. Fodor.
I really am.

794
01:46:34,929 --> 01:46:37,632
Appears our little friend
isn't here at the moment.

795
01:46:38,232 --> 01:46:39,667
Perhaps he is in town.

796
01:46:39,767 --> 01:46:41,903
You know, probably slipped past
us as we were climbing up.

797
01:46:42,336 --> 01:46:44,272
Could be back at the house,
playing in Voirrey's room.

798
01:46:44,372 --> 01:46:45,506
He's got a little space there...

799
01:46:45,606 --> 01:46:47,375
Yeah, I know. I know.

800
01:46:47,474 --> 01:46:49,810
I did read Dr. Price's diary.

801
01:46:49,911 --> 01:46:51,178
Indeed. Well...

802
01:46:51,946 --> 01:46:54,582
Seeing as Gef isn't gonna
grace us with his presence,

803
01:46:55,016 --> 01:46:57,585
maybe we should venture
into the cave anyway?

804
01:46:59,787 --> 01:47:02,790
You see, one unfortunate
characteristic of Gef

805
01:47:02,890 --> 01:47:04,959
is that he can be a bit
of a thief at times.

806
01:47:05,059 --> 01:47:07,094
You know,
often we'll find this or that,

807
01:47:07,194 --> 01:47:09,764
trinket or bauble missing,
a trifle from the kitchen.

808
01:47:09,864 --> 01:47:12,166
Others in town have reported
similar incidents.

809
01:47:12,266 --> 01:47:13,367
Maybe...

810
01:47:13,734 --> 01:47:16,604
he has been ferreting away
some of his plunder here?

811
01:47:17,437 --> 01:47:18,773
Yeah.

812
01:47:19,573 --> 01:47:21,676
Please, after you.

813
01:47:22,442 --> 01:47:23,844
Well, I'll just leave
my bag here,

814
01:47:23,945 --> 01:47:26,514
because if you fall
I'll need my hands.

815
01:47:26,614 --> 01:47:27,648
Yes, you go first.

816
01:47:27,748 --> 01:47:29,417
Be careful.
Yes.

817
01:47:29,517 --> 01:47:31,986
Yes, yes, as I suspected.

818
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:34,655
A veritable trove
of ill-gotten goods.

819
01:47:35,189 --> 01:47:36,657
Come on, come see.

820
01:47:37,024 --> 01:47:38,192
Oh, yeah.

821
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:40,962
God.

822
01:47:41,062 --> 01:47:42,697
Yes, look at this.

823
01:47:45,266 --> 01:47:46,567
I would say...

824
01:47:47,467 --> 01:47:50,037
unquestionably,
that's Gef's as well.

825
01:47:50,137 --> 01:47:52,440
Want to take that back to London
with you, for testing?

826
01:47:52,540 --> 01:47:53,874
Thank you, Mr. Irving.

827
01:47:53,975 --> 01:47:56,777
I'll make sure this gets
safely back to London.

828
01:47:56,877 --> 01:47:58,079
Yeah.

829
01:47:58,579 --> 01:48:01,549
I did once
see a mongoose in India, 1929.

830
01:48:01,649 --> 01:48:03,250
Oh, right. Did it talk?

831
01:48:11,092 --> 01:48:12,593
What are you laughing at?

832
01:48:13,294 --> 01:48:14,528
Nothing.

833
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:19,834
Was there a pair of women's
undergarments back there?

834
01:48:25,639 --> 01:48:27,942
Look, from what I hear,
everybody on this island

835
01:48:28,042 --> 01:48:29,143
has their Gef story.

836
01:48:29,243 --> 01:48:31,912
An account of their encounter
with this creature.

837
01:48:32,013 --> 01:48:33,147
Tell me yours.

838
01:48:34,949 --> 01:48:37,918
I got no Gef story.
No?

839
01:48:38,285 --> 01:48:39,587
I find that incredible,

840
01:48:39,687 --> 01:48:42,223
considering you reside
on the Irving Farm.

841
01:48:44,592 --> 01:48:46,527
I got no Gef story.

842
01:48:47,461 --> 01:48:49,130
You and I both know...

843
01:48:50,631 --> 01:48:52,199
there ain't no Gef.

844
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:54,368
What did you just say?

845
01:48:56,337 --> 01:48:57,872
What did you just say?

846
01:49:01,442 --> 01:49:03,512
Oh, golly. Oh golly, lemonade.

847
01:49:03,611 --> 01:49:05,246
Um, I'm going to need
to use the loo

848
01:49:05,346 --> 01:49:06,747
before we brave
that road again.

849
01:49:06,847 --> 01:49:08,749
Could you just...
Thank you.

850
01:49:10,618 --> 01:49:13,020
Just... Thank you!

851
01:49:17,324 --> 01:49:18,559

01:50:01,001 --> 01:50:03,104
Hello, Voirrey.
Uh, sorry for the intrusion.

863
01:50:03,204 --> 01:50:06,607
I was just coming upstairs
and I heard you singing.

864
01:50:11,278 --> 01:50:12,313
May I come in?

865
01:50:19,420 --> 01:50:21,288
Gosh, you have such
a lovely room.

866
01:50:22,089 --> 01:50:24,725
That was Noel Coward, the song?

867
01:50:26,260 --> 01:50:27,795
You have a lovely voice.

868
01:50:28,462 --> 01:50:30,998
Thank you. So do you.

869
01:50:31,899 --> 01:50:34,368
Oh. Well, that's very kind
of you to say.

870
01:50:37,037 --> 01:50:40,975
Would you mind telling me
a bit more about your talent?

871
01:50:41,408 --> 01:50:42,843
I could teach you if you like.

872
01:50:42,943 --> 01:50:44,678
It's quite simple, really.

873
01:50:45,112 --> 01:50:46,780
I'm not sure I'd be any good.

874
01:50:46,881 --> 01:50:48,382
It's quite simple.

875
01:50:49,750 --> 01:50:51,118
I promise.

876
01:50:51,218 --> 01:50:54,523
You... you just...
you just did it.

877
01:50:54,623 --> 01:50:56,290
That's incredible.

878
01:50:57,458 --> 01:51:00,327
Keep your mouth mostly closed.

879
01:51:00,427 --> 01:51:01,762
Your tongue loose.

880
01:51:01,862 --> 01:51:03,497
There are certain sounds
that are easier to make

881
01:51:03,598 --> 01:51:04,665
without moving your lips.

882
01:51:04,765 --> 01:51:06,033
Oh.

883
01:51:06,133 --> 01:51:07,168
Try it.

884
01:51:07,602 --> 01:51:08,736
Now?

885
01:51:08,836 --> 01:51:11,672
Now. Speak.

886
01:51:12,706 --> 01:51:14,074
Hello.

887
01:51:14,175 --> 01:51:15,242
Hello.

888
01:51:15,342 --> 01:51:16,310
Hello.

889
01:51:17,978 --> 01:51:20,515
Yes. I should need a bit
more practice, I think.

890
01:51:20,615 --> 01:51:21,749
Indeed.

891
01:51:22,116 --> 01:51:24,385
The way you throw your voice?

892
01:51:25,186 --> 01:51:26,887
It's a marvel.

893
01:51:26,987 --> 01:51:28,222
It is.

894
01:51:28,956 --> 01:51:32,226
That is something I would be
very interested in learning.

895
01:51:32,326 --> 01:51:33,894
I could teach you the theory,
I think.

896
01:51:33,994 --> 01:51:36,363
But it requires a lot
of practice.

897
01:51:36,463 --> 01:51:37,965
Oh, I'm sure.

898
01:51:39,166 --> 01:51:42,369
Humans can actually determine
from whence a sound comes.

899
01:51:42,836 --> 01:51:46,173
We hear it with our eyes
as much as we do our ears.

900
01:51:46,740 --> 01:51:50,411
Sound has no direction,
only modulation.

901
01:51:51,212 --> 01:51:54,148
Sounds that are further away
sound different...

902
01:51:54,583 --> 01:51:55,849
than those nearby.

903
01:51:56,784 --> 01:52:02,056

They're very kind people.

930
01:54:16,825 --> 01:54:18,892
Lunatics. The lot of them.

931
01:54:18,992 --> 01:54:20,928
Particularly the patriarch.

932
01:54:21,028 --> 01:54:24,098
I remain entirely mystified
as to their motives,

933
01:54:24,198 --> 01:54:28,936
but am certain that
this is an inexplicable farce.

934
01:54:30,137 --> 01:54:32,906
The only one among them
with any sense whatsoever

935
01:54:33,006 --> 01:54:35,476
would seem
to be their man, Errol.

936
01:54:36,243 --> 01:54:38,245
Well, I think they're all
very kind.

937
01:54:38,780 --> 01:54:40,047
There was...

938
01:54:41,683 --> 01:54:43,884
There was a pair
of undergarments

939
01:54:43,984 --> 01:54:45,620
in that cave today.

940
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:47,221
Did you notice that?

941
01:54:47,921 --> 01:54:50,625
A woman's small clothes.

942
01:54:54,228 --> 01:54:56,831
Do you really think
there's no possible chance

943
01:54:56,930 --> 01:54:58,265
they're telling the truth?

944
01:54:58,867 --> 01:55:00,602
I beg your pardon.

945
01:55:00,702 --> 01:55:02,903
I know today was unusual.

946
01:55:03,337 --> 01:55:07,307
And I know that
the Irvings are unusual.

947
01:55:07,408 --> 01:55:10,444
This thought keeps going round
and round in my head.

948
01:55:10,545 --> 01:55:11,880
Why?

949
01:55:12,379 --> 01:55:14,982
If it is as you said
and it's all a great charade,

950
01:55:15,082 --> 01:55:17,819
then what is
the Irvings' motive?

951
01:55:18,620 --> 01:55:22,156
Ere the arrival of Gef--
At the alleged arrival!

952
01:55:22,256 --> 01:55:24,559
Ere the alleged incident,

953
01:55:25,392 --> 01:55:28,262
the Irvings were
a well-to-do family,

954
01:55:28,362 --> 01:55:32,966
they've a pristine reputation
they're financially secure.

955
01:55:33,635 --> 01:55:34,869
Didn't strike me as con artists.

956
01:55:36,403 --> 01:55:38,640
If they were charging
admission, perhaps.

957
01:55:41,108 --> 01:55:44,111
Do you really have
no theories whatsoever?

958
01:55:44,211 --> 01:55:45,880
Now that you've met them.

959
01:55:45,979 --> 01:55:50,250
If it were an individual person
suffering from these delusions--

960
01:55:50,350 --> 01:55:53,454
if it were just Mr. Irving
espousing the existence

961
01:55:53,555 --> 01:55:55,389
of this creature
at the behest of his family

962
01:55:55,489 --> 01:55:58,292
and the townspeople,
then perhaps I could formulate

963
01:55:58,392 --> 01:56:00,327
a thorough
psychological evaluation.

964
01:56:00,427 --> 01:56:03,765
But the fact that
it is the entire family,

965
01:56:03,865 --> 01:56:05,999
the entire town,
it would seem...

966
01:56:06,768 --> 01:56:09,704
So you think it is some
sort of mass hysteria?

967
01:56:12,206 --> 01:56:14,542
And you do not believe,

968
01:56:15,810 --> 01:56:17,612
it is in the realm
of possibility

969
01:56:17,712 --> 01:56:21,248
that the Irvings are telling
the truth and that Gef is real?

970
01:56:22,517 --> 01:56:24,051
Do you?

971
01:56:34,896 --> 01:56:36,129
Anne?

972
01:56:36,798 --> 01:56:38,432
Is everything...

973
01:56:39,032 --> 01:56:41,368
Sorry to disturb you
so late, sir.

974
01:56:42,069 --> 01:56:43,771
But there's a call for you.

975
01:56:45,472 --> 01:56:46,674
A call?

976
01:56:50,077 --> 01:56:51,613
At this hour?

977
01:56:51,713 --> 01:56:52,747
From whom?

978
01:56:52,847 --> 01:56:54,348
Is it from America?

979
01:56:55,583 --> 01:56:57,552
Not from America, sir.

980
01:56:57,652 --> 01:56:59,319
The call...

981
01:57:00,153 --> 01:57:01,523
it is from...

982
01:57:03,625 --> 01:57:04,659
him.

983
01:57:20,140 --> 01:57:21,576
Hello.

984
01:57:25,078 --> 01:57:27,815
Hello, this is Dr. Nandor Fodor.

985
01:57:31,619 --> 01:57:33,021
There does not appear
to be anyone

986
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:35,055
on the other end of the line.

987
01:57:35,155 --> 01:57:37,124
<i>Dr. Fodor...</i>
Yes.

988
01:57:37,224 --> 01:57:40,995
Yes. Hello. Uh...
with whom am I speaking, please?

989
01:57:41,094 --> 01:57:42,797
<i>I am a freak!</i>

990
01:57:42,897 --> 01:57:44,532
<i>I have hands and I have feet!</i>

991
01:57:44,632 --> 01:57:47,134
<i>And if you ever saw me,</i>
<i>you would be paralyzed,</i>

992
01:57:47,234 --> 01:57:51,405
<i>petrified, mummified,</i>
<i>and turned to a pillar of salt!</i>

993
01:57:51,506 --> 01:57:52,406
All right.

994
01:57:52,507 --> 01:57:54,308
<i>I am the fifth dimension!</i>

995
01:57:54,408 --> 01:57:56,811
<i>I am the eighth wonder</i>
<i>of the world.</i>

996
01:57:56,911 --> 01:57:58,746
<i>I can split an atom.</i>

997
01:57:58,846 --> 01:58:00,147
Uh, yes. Uh...

998
01:58:00,247 --> 01:58:02,382
Gef, is-is that you?

999
01:58:02,482 --> 01:58:04,752
<i>I am the Holy Ghost!</i>

1000
01:58:05,452 --> 01:58:07,755
Yes, that-that-that
is wonderful.

1001
01:58:07,855 --> 01:58:13,293
Uh, Gef, I went today
with Mr. Irving to a cave

1002
01:58:13,393 --> 01:58:17,065
where you have, uh, previously
been observed and, uh...

1003
01:58:17,497 --> 01:58:20,100
well, had you been there, you
would have heard me proclaim,

1004
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:25,540
in no uncertain terms,
my sincere belief in your...

1005
01:58:26,641 --> 01:58:28,776
uh, well, existence.

1006
01:58:31,713 --> 01:58:34,616
Um, and so I suppose
I should say,

1007
01:58:34,716 --> 01:58:37,284
I would very much like
to meet you in person,

1008
01:58:37,384 --> 01:58:39,453
if you were so inclined.

1009
01:58:39,554 --> 01:58:44,157
Um, I promise you,
I have no malicious intentions

1010
01:58:44,257 --> 01:58:46,226
towards you whatsoever.

1011
01:58:48,395 --> 01:58:51,465
<i>I shall never see you again.</i>

1012
01:58:51,566 --> 01:58:52,767
Again?

1013
01:58:54,334 --> 01:58:57,839
Did-did you see me today
at-the-at the cave?

1014
01:59:03,210 --> 01:59:04,812
<i>Your father.</i>

1015
01:59:08,783 --> 01:59:10,150
What about him?

1016
01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:15,089
<i>Hm. That's what</i>
<i>your father said to you.</i>

1017
01:59:15,188 --> 01:59:16,858
<i>Before you left.</i>

1018
01:59:16,958 --> 01:59:19,827
<i>I shall never see you again.</i>

1019
01:59:24,197 --> 01:59:25,465
What?

1020
01:59:27,735 --> 01:59:29,070
<i>Tomorrow.</i>

1021
01:59:29,169 --> 01:59:34,542
<i>Tomorrow I shall let you</i>
<i>see me.</i>

1022
01:59:36,144 --> 01:59:38,579
How could you know
that about my father?

1023
01:59:41,115 --> 01:59:42,215
Hello?

1024
02:00:14,649 --> 02:00:18,285
I am-- I mean, was
something of a public figure

1025
02:00:18,385 --> 02:00:23,591
and some scientific
and pseudo-scientific journals

1026
02:00:23,691 --> 02:00:26,194
have published articles
about me, haven't they?

1027
02:00:26,293 --> 02:00:28,062
And...

1028
02:00:28,162 --> 02:00:29,429
theoretically, if you wish

1029
02:00:29,530 --> 02:00:31,599
to discover certain facts
about my life,

1030
02:00:31,699 --> 02:00:34,367
how I left Budapest
for New York,

1031
02:00:34,468 --> 02:00:36,369
and then, surmise how...

1032
02:00:36,470 --> 02:00:39,473
a-a certain conversation
may have gone.

1033
02:01:03,798 --> 02:01:06,266
Fine morning to the both of you!
I trust you slept soundly?

1034
02:01:06,366 --> 02:01:07,535
Yes. Thank you.

1035
02:01:07,635 --> 02:01:08,736
No.

1036
02:01:09,737 --> 02:01:10,872
Oh.

1037
02:01:17,011 --> 02:01:19,580
I'll admit I was very surprised,
waking to hear

1038
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:22,349
the news that Gef had extended
an invitation to you personally!

1039
02:01:22,449 --> 02:01:24,685
What? He called
you on the phone, did he?

1040
02:01:25,219 --> 02:01:27,688
Someone called me last night.
Yes.

1041
02:01:27,789 --> 02:01:29,824
I wonder whose telephone
he accosted for that purpose,

1042
02:01:29,924 --> 02:01:31,025
the wee devil.

1043
02:01:31,125 --> 02:01:32,425
The Guileys, I'd wager.

1044
02:01:32,527 --> 02:01:33,628
They've got an old
candlestick phone

1045
02:01:33,728 --> 02:01:35,596
right next to the window
in their foyer.

1046
02:01:35,696 --> 02:01:38,199
It would've been easy for him
to slip in and dial you.

1047
02:01:38,331 --> 02:01:39,934
He's got such
nimble little fingers.

1048
02:01:40,034 --> 02:01:41,669
Does he now?

1049
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:53,981
Hmm. Hmm.

1050
02:01:55,183 --> 02:01:56,416
Hmm.

1051
02:01:58,820 --> 02:02:00,221
Here we are.

1052
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:02,389
Hmm.
Thank you, love.

1053
02:02:03,490 --> 02:02:05,860
Uh, will Voirrey
be joining us today?

1054
02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:10,064
I-I'm afraid she's not
feeling well, poor girl.

1055
02:02:10,164 --> 02:02:11,999
She's got a mild allergy
to ragwort,

1056
02:02:12,099 --> 02:02:14,367
if you can believe that.

1057
02:02:14,467 --> 02:02:17,638
So summers can be a bit...

1058
02:02:18,105 --> 02:02:19,674
I see.

1059
02:02:21,542 --> 02:02:23,476
Oh! I nearly forgot!

1060
02:02:36,724 --> 02:02:40,393
<i>Encyclopaedia</i>
<i>of Psychic Science.</i>

1061
02:02:40,493 --> 02:02:42,230
What a mouthful!

1062
02:02:42,330 --> 02:02:44,298
It arrived at
Pavel's yesterday,

1063
02:02:44,397 --> 02:02:46,634
shortly before
their usual closing time.

1064
02:02:46,734 --> 02:02:49,971
But they waited for me
to rush over and pick it up.

1065
02:02:50,738 --> 02:02:53,274
I can't wait to read it!

1066
02:02:53,641 --> 02:02:56,644
I'll give you my honest
thoughts, when I've finished.

1067
02:02:58,179 --> 02:02:59,680
Yesterday, you say.

1068
02:03:01,215 --> 02:03:03,751
Well, I, uh,
I hope you enjoy it.

1069
02:03:04,484 --> 02:03:06,721
"The only comprehensive survey

1070
02:03:06,821 --> 02:03:10,191
of every kind of psychical
phenomena known to mankind".

1071
02:03:12,392 --> 02:03:15,395
Well, I presume
Gef's not in it.

1072
02:03:15,930 --> 02:03:18,833
So you'll have to write
a sequel after today.

1073
02:03:25,306 --> 02:03:27,942
Looks like you weren't the only
one Gef called last night!

1074
02:03:36,050 --> 02:03:37,218
Well, it's, uh...

1075
02:03:37,318 --> 02:03:39,452
It's a pleasure to receive
so many of you here today.

1076
02:03:39,553 --> 02:03:41,488
I hope you'll excuse
my not having provided

1077
02:03:41,589 --> 02:03:43,057
adequate refreshments
for the occasion.

1078
02:03:43,157 --> 02:03:45,359
And, had my wife and I known
so many of you were comin',

1079
02:03:45,458 --> 02:03:47,061
we'd have tea and biscuits
for the lot of ya.

1080
02:03:47,161 --> 02:03:49,830
Gef failed to inform us
he had spoken to so many of you.

1081
02:03:50,564 --> 02:03:52,099
Called me in the dead
of night, he did!

1082
02:03:52,633 --> 02:03:54,402
Asked after sister
and her drinkin'.

1083
02:03:54,502 --> 02:03:56,771
How in the bloody hell
did he know about that?

1084
02:03:57,772 --> 02:03:59,439
Called me Candy.

1085
02:03:59,540 --> 02:04:01,575
Nobody's called me that
since me grandma

1086
02:04:01,676 --> 02:04:03,311
passed on 20 years ago!

1087
02:04:03,411 --> 02:04:05,413
Yes! Yes, I know
we're all very excited!

1088
02:04:05,513 --> 02:04:08,082
But please, please.
Now as I was saying...

1089
02:04:08,182 --> 02:04:10,217
We've got guests who've
traveled a great distance

1090
02:04:10,318 --> 02:04:13,354
in order to investigate
our friend Gef.

1091
02:04:13,821 --> 02:04:16,924
That's Dr. Nandor Fodor
and his assistant, Anne.

1092
02:04:17,024 --> 02:04:20,061
Now, Dr. Fodor is one
of the world's leading experts

1093
02:04:20,161 --> 02:04:22,029
in the field of the paranormal.

1094
02:04:22,129 --> 02:04:26,233
A term I think we can all agree,
aptly describes our friend Gef.

1095
02:04:27,201 --> 02:04:28,502
Now as we all know,

1096
02:04:28,602 --> 02:04:30,404
Gef can be a bit
of a skittish fellow at times.

1097
02:04:30,504 --> 02:04:31,906
I mean,
I was genuinely surprised

1098
02:04:32,006 --> 02:04:34,075
he was open to this viewing.
So...

1099
02:04:34,175 --> 02:04:36,944
Unfortunately,
it is all gonna be a bit brief.

1100
02:04:37,044 --> 02:04:38,813
While I'd like you all
to be able to talk,

1101
02:04:38,913 --> 02:04:40,581
you know,
if we all start shouting

1102
02:04:40,681 --> 02:04:43,551
he's just gonna get
agitated and run off. So...

1103
02:04:43,651 --> 02:04:45,686
Do I have your agreement
from the lot of you

1104
02:04:45,786 --> 02:04:48,723
that you're gonna do your best
to remain calm?

1105
02:04:48,823 --> 02:04:49,590
Yes.

1106
02:04:49,690 --> 02:04:51,225
Yeah.
Really?

1107
02:04:51,325 --> 02:04:52,360
Well, yeah.

1108
02:04:52,460 --> 02:04:53,427
Yeah.

1109
02:04:53,527 --> 02:04:55,296
Right then.

1110
02:04:55,396 --> 02:04:56,731
This way, please.

1111
02:05:11,712 --> 02:05:13,647
Right.
Just take a step back, please.

1112
02:05:14,081 --> 02:05:15,816
It's a bit dark in here,
isn't it?

1113
02:05:15,916 --> 02:05:18,519
Now, we're gonna
take back the sheet.

1114
02:05:18,619 --> 02:05:19,754
But I think it's only fair

1115
02:05:19,854 --> 02:05:21,188
that we allow
our distinguished guests

1116
02:05:21,288 --> 02:05:22,623
to be the first to address Gef.

1117
02:05:24,225 --> 02:05:25,626
Go on.

1118
02:05:32,967 --> 02:05:35,970
Is-is that him?
There? In the box?

1119
02:05:36,070 --> 02:05:38,039
That little...
little tuft of fur?

1120
02:05:38,139 --> 02:05:40,307
Looks like he's bein'
a bit shy after all.

1121
02:05:40,941 --> 02:05:44,211
Well, can you tell him
to come out so we can see him?

1122
02:05:44,311 --> 02:05:48,115
Can you tell him
to come out so we can see him?

1123
02:05:50,017 --> 02:05:52,887
Ask him your question now,
before he has a change of heart.

1124
02:05:52,987 --> 02:05:57,758
Uh, yes, Gef. Hello. Thank you
for letting us meet you in...

1125
02:05:58,527 --> 02:05:59,860
person at last.

1126
02:05:59,960 --> 02:06:03,197
Um, Mr. Irving said that
we could ask you a question.

1127
02:06:03,297 --> 02:06:04,665
Is-is that all right?

1128
02:06:04,765 --> 02:06:07,568
Hmm... yes.

1129
02:06:08,436 --> 02:06:10,905
Right.
When we spoke on the telephone

1130
02:06:11,005 --> 02:06:13,508
the other night, uh,
you said something.

1131
02:06:13,607 --> 02:06:15,976
You repeated something
that my father said to me

1132
02:06:16,077 --> 02:06:17,745
a long time ago.

1133
02:06:17,845 --> 02:06:20,381
Um, how did you know
that he said those words?

1134
02:06:20,481 --> 02:06:24,852
How did you know that he told me
he would never see me again?

1135
02:06:24,952 --> 02:06:29,090
I have seen beyond
the bounds of infinity

1136
02:06:29,190 --> 02:06:32,827
and drawn down
demons from the stars.

1137
02:06:32,927 --> 02:06:37,798
I have harnessed the shadows
that stride from world to world

1138
02:06:37,898 --> 02:06:43,971
to sow death and madness.

1139
02:06:44,738 --> 02:06:46,273
Come on,
get him outside.

1140
02:06:46,373 --> 02:06:47,475
Let's give him some air.

1141
02:06:47,576 --> 02:06:49,810
This may be a bullshit.
Take a look.

1142
02:06:51,879 --> 02:06:53,714
I am-- I am deeply sorry,
Dr. Fodor.

1143
02:06:53,814 --> 02:06:55,716
All the commotion
will have scared poor Gef off.

1144
02:06:55,816 --> 02:06:59,220
But as I said to you before,
he always returns, in time.

1145
02:07:18,639 --> 02:07:20,808
You have been here all along.

1146
02:07:22,109 --> 02:07:24,912
You know that
this is a great farce.

1147
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:29,150
You know that
these people are mad.

1148
02:07:30,351 --> 02:07:32,219
And yet you do nothing.

1149
02:07:32,319 --> 02:07:33,854
You indulge them.

1150
02:07:34,488 --> 02:07:35,524
So do you.

1151
02:07:36,423 --> 02:07:39,760
I am here in the name
of scientific research.

1152
02:07:39,860 --> 02:07:41,162
If you say so.

1153
02:07:42,897 --> 02:07:44,798
None of this bothers you.

1154
02:07:44,899 --> 02:07:47,234
These people obsessed
with an entity that they cannot

1155
02:07:47,334 --> 02:07:48,903
even reliably prove is real.

1156
02:07:49,003 --> 02:07:51,939
That it is adults
perpetuating this nonsense.

1157
02:07:52,039 --> 02:07:54,708
Men and women who are,
for all intents and purposes,

1158
02:07:54,808 --> 02:07:57,378
ordinary, functioning
members of society.

1159
02:07:58,445 --> 02:08:00,047
Why do you care so much?

1160
02:08:01,115 --> 02:08:04,318
It is my job to care.
To understand.

1161
02:08:06,187 --> 02:08:10,357
All anyone wants in this
world... is to be happy.

1162
02:08:11,759 --> 02:08:13,327
Maybe you'd be happy
if you let people believe

1163
02:08:13,427 --> 02:08:14,929
what they want to believe.

1164
02:08:16,130 --> 02:08:20,067
Your perspective is endearing
but childishly simplistic.

1165
02:08:20,434 --> 02:08:24,872
Who in this world
is happier than a child, hmm?

1166
02:08:26,006 --> 02:08:27,041
Maybe...

1167
02:08:27,975 --> 02:08:30,477
simple ain't so bad, eh?

1168
02:08:30,579 --> 02:08:32,647
But these people are lying!

1169
02:08:32,746 --> 02:08:34,181
Oh, everyone lies.

1170
02:08:34,281 --> 02:08:35,449
They are intentionally,

1171
02:08:35,550 --> 02:08:38,219
inexplicably misleading others!

1172
02:08:38,786 --> 02:08:40,487
People love that mongoose.

1173
02:08:40,589 --> 02:08:42,256
The one that does not exist.

1174
02:08:42,823 --> 02:08:44,758
Yeah.
Yeah.

1175
02:08:47,061 --> 02:08:50,231
Well, I intend to expose
that they're lying.

1176
02:08:51,732 --> 02:08:53,000
Okay.

1177
02:08:57,606 --> 02:08:59,641
You must be
a lot of fun at parties.

1178
02:08:59,740 --> 02:09:01,008
Excuse me?

1179
02:09:03,911 --> 02:09:07,448
I am invited to and attend
many parties.

1180
02:09:07,549 --> 02:09:09,083
More than you,
I would wager!

1181
02:09:09,183 --> 02:09:12,886
And I have many interesting
conversations at these parties!

1182
02:09:12,987 --> 02:09:15,122
Enlightening,
entertaining discussions

1183
02:09:15,222 --> 02:09:17,258
with people
from every field of study

1184
02:09:17,358 --> 02:09:18,459
and strata of society.

1185
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:19,760
Yeah.

1186
02:09:20,127 --> 02:09:22,463
When you walk away,
they call you an asshole.

1187
02:09:27,134 --> 02:09:28,269
Asshole.

1188
02:09:34,008 --> 02:09:35,909
Whereby,
I previously stated

1189
02:09:36,010 --> 02:09:37,378
that the housekeeper, Errol,

1190
02:09:37,478 --> 02:09:39,614
was the only person
at the Irving estate

1191
02:09:39,714 --> 02:09:42,449
with even an ounce of sense...

1192
02:09:42,550 --> 02:09:44,719
I rescind that statement now.

1193
02:09:44,818 --> 02:09:47,855
I believe he may be
the craziest of them all.

1194
02:09:48,422 --> 02:09:50,725
"Why do you care so much?"

1195
02:09:50,824 --> 02:09:52,527
he had the gall to ask me.

1196
02:09:54,128 --> 02:09:57,865
With casual disregard
for my almost 20 years

1197
02:09:57,965 --> 02:09:59,967
of research in this field.

1198
02:10:00,467 --> 02:10:01,935
Research which, I may say,

1199
02:10:02,036 --> 02:10:04,805
has proven invaluable to many.

1200
02:10:08,942 --> 02:10:11,979
"Let people believe what
they want to believe."

1201
02:10:12,079 --> 02:10:15,316
That doesn't seem like
the worst advice in the world.

1202
02:10:18,620 --> 02:10:20,454
Should I have remained a lawyer?

1203
02:10:21,088 --> 02:10:23,457
You always said
you hated practicing law.

1204
02:10:23,558 --> 02:10:24,858
I did.

1205
02:10:25,359 --> 02:10:26,695
My father...

1206
02:10:26,795 --> 02:10:29,764
his dream was that I remain
in Budapest

1207
02:10:29,863 --> 02:10:31,599
and marry Hanna Varga.

1208
02:10:33,535 --> 02:10:35,570
A simple life.

1209
02:10:37,605 --> 02:10:39,273
Would that have made you happy?

1210
02:10:40,407 --> 02:10:41,442
No.

1211
02:10:43,277 --> 02:10:45,279
But I might still be
with my father now

1212
02:10:45,379 --> 02:10:49,249
and not on this accursed island
chasing an imaginary mongoose.

1213
02:10:54,589 --> 02:10:56,390
He's not imaginary.

1214
02:10:58,593 --> 02:10:59,860
I'm sorry. What?

1215
02:11:01,295 --> 02:11:02,463
Gef.

1216
02:11:03,130 --> 02:11:05,165
I think he not only exists,

1217
02:11:05,265 --> 02:11:07,034
much as the Irvings
have described him,

1218
02:11:07,134 --> 02:11:08,803
but I'm certain of it.

1219
02:11:08,902 --> 02:11:10,605
You're certain of it?

1220
02:11:23,417 --> 02:11:26,453
You had better
not fucking be serious.

1221
02:11:27,689 --> 02:11:28,956
Good night, Nandor.

1222
02:11:29,056 --> 02:11:31,058
It's Dr. Fodor!

1223
02:11:31,826 --> 02:11:33,327
And good night!

1224
02:11:41,803 --> 02:11:43,538
Maurice!

1225
02:11:45,507 --> 02:11:46,674
Dr. Fodor.

1226
02:11:48,375 --> 02:11:52,246
I have just received a call
from the Irving family.

1227
02:11:54,816 --> 02:11:56,083
I see.

1228
02:11:56,183 --> 02:11:58,252
And they have requested that I

1229
02:11:58,352 --> 02:12:02,990
come up to the-- to perform
some further investigation,

1230
02:12:03,090 --> 02:12:04,925
at their residence.

1231
02:12:05,025 --> 02:12:08,797
So I will need you
to drive me up to the farm.

1232
02:12:09,229 --> 02:12:11,198
It's a bit late, isn't it?

1233
02:12:11,298 --> 02:12:16,671
Hmm. Oh, and I will need
to borrow this.

1234
02:12:29,349 --> 02:12:30,384
Gef!

1235
02:12:31,719 --> 02:12:33,387
Are you here, Gef?

1236
02:12:35,723 --> 02:12:38,292
Gef! It's your friend,
Dr. Fodor!

1237
02:12:39,993 --> 02:12:43,130
I'd just love to speak
with you for a moment.

1238
02:12:44,833 --> 02:12:47,401
I'll let you steal
my underpants!

1239
02:12:47,502 --> 02:12:48,703
Dr. Fodor?

1240
02:12:50,204 --> 02:12:53,440
- Is everything all right?
- Ah!

1241
02:12:53,942 --> 02:12:56,243
Feeling better,
are we, Voirrey?

1242
02:12:56,343 --> 02:12:58,111
You know, I must confess,
we weren't expecting

1243
02:12:58,212 --> 02:13:00,380
another visit from you
this evening.

1244
02:13:01,448 --> 02:13:02,717
Where is Gef?

1245
02:13:02,817 --> 02:13:04,151
He's not here at the moment.

1246
02:13:04,251 --> 02:13:05,954
I'm afraid today's excitement
scared him off.

1247
02:13:06,053 --> 02:13:08,055
But if you return tomorrow
at a reasonable hour...

1248
02:13:08,155 --> 02:13:10,390
Gef!
Dr. Fodor! Please!

1249
02:13:10,491 --> 02:13:14,729
I need... I need to come inside
for some further investigation.

1250
02:13:14,829 --> 02:13:17,164
I don't think that's a good idea
to allow you in our home

1251
02:13:17,264 --> 02:13:19,501
at this time,
in your condition.

1252
02:13:19,601 --> 02:13:20,902
Oh, in my condition?

1253
02:13:21,001 --> 02:13:22,202
Hmm.

1254
02:13:22,302 --> 02:13:24,471
Well, very well.
If you will not let me in,

1255
02:13:24,572 --> 02:13:28,475
I will conduct my own
investigation out here.

1256
02:13:28,576 --> 02:13:29,677
Gef!

1257
02:13:33,080 --> 02:13:35,315
I'm going to check
the barn.

1258
02:13:37,284 --> 02:13:38,786
Go and alert
the constable.

1259
02:13:38,887 --> 02:13:40,420
Dr. Fodor!

1260
02:13:40,522 --> 02:13:42,222
I've instructed Margaret
to go and alert the constable.

1261
02:13:42,322 --> 02:13:44,224
Now I would advise you

1262
02:13:44,324 --> 02:13:46,193
to accompany Maurice
back to his car,

1263
02:13:46,293 --> 02:13:47,729
and he can take you
back to your inn,

1264
02:13:47,829 --> 02:13:50,163
where you can
sleep this off.

1265
02:13:57,572 --> 02:13:58,740
Oh, Gef!

1266
02:14:00,073 --> 02:14:01,543
Little Geffer?

1267
02:14:04,244 --> 02:14:05,747
I want to talk to you!

1268
02:14:07,214 --> 02:14:09,383
We can talk more
about my father!

1269
02:14:11,118 --> 02:14:13,788
I'll-- I'll give you
a signed copy of my book!

1270
02:14:14,187 --> 02:14:15,657
Dr. Fodor! No!

1271
02:14:22,697 --> 02:14:24,331
Apologies, my friend.

1272
02:14:40,848 --> 02:14:43,685
Ah. Ow.

1273
02:14:44,451 --> 02:14:45,419
Ah.

1274
02:14:51,859 --> 02:14:53,260
Hello?

1275
02:14:54,094 --> 02:14:55,329
Hello!

1276
02:14:56,731 --> 02:15:00,702
Sounds like someone got
a bit hammered this evening.

1277
02:15:03,037 --> 02:15:08,576
Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie.
Where do we go after we die?

1278
02:15:08,676 --> 02:15:09,744
Who's there?

1279
02:15:12,680 --> 02:15:14,448
If only you were little like me,

1280
02:15:14,549 --> 02:15:18,218
you could squeeze between
these bars and be free!

1281
02:15:23,323 --> 02:15:24,826
This is madness.

1282
02:15:28,128 --> 02:15:30,163
Gef, is it?

1283
02:15:33,635 --> 02:15:36,871
I refuse to participate
in this...

1284
02:15:37,872 --> 02:15:39,774
farce any longer.

1285
02:15:41,009 --> 02:15:42,242
Hello?

1286
02:15:43,143 --> 02:15:44,378
Hello!

1287
02:15:45,647 --> 02:15:47,749
I require the use
of a telephone,

1288
02:15:47,849 --> 02:15:51,552
so I may call my assistant
to arrange my release.

1289
02:15:53,353 --> 02:15:56,256
I have an account at
the, uh, Abbey Bank in London,

1290
02:15:56,356 --> 02:16:00,160
if I am required
to post some kind of bond.

1291
02:16:02,195 --> 02:16:03,631
Or, if you would prefer,

1292
02:16:03,731 --> 02:16:08,670
my attorney is Marlon Sandersen,
Esquire, in New York City.

1293
02:16:08,770 --> 02:16:11,238
I can assure you
I will be placing a call to him

1294
02:16:11,338 --> 02:16:13,841
if I am not released
immediately.

1295
02:16:18,946 --> 02:16:21,582
Right, right. So be it.

1296
02:16:25,887 --> 02:16:27,220
Damn you!

1297
02:16:27,689 --> 02:16:28,690
Whoever you are!

1298
02:16:28,790 --> 02:16:31,291
How did you know
what my father said to me?

1299
02:16:32,527 --> 02:16:34,529
Did-did-did you read my book?

1300
02:16:36,229 --> 02:16:38,933
What-what do you hope
to gain...

1301
02:16:39,033 --> 02:16:40,168
from this...

1302
02:16:40,300 --> 02:16:41,803
insanity?

1303
02:16:41,903 --> 02:16:46,641
Is it-is it some kind of...
financial incentive? Or...

1304
02:16:47,175 --> 02:16:49,376
do you just crave attention?

1305
02:16:50,578 --> 02:16:53,480
That's it. That's it, isn't it?
It's...

1306
02:16:54,414 --> 02:16:56,316
Well, then show yourself!

1307
02:16:56,416 --> 02:16:59,554
If you are able to squeeze
through these bars,

1308
02:16:59,654 --> 02:17:01,455
like you say,
then step into the corridor

1309
02:17:01,556 --> 02:17:03,024
and let me look at you!

1310
02:17:03,124 --> 02:17:05,793
Let me get
a good look at you, Gef!

1311
02:17:10,965 --> 02:17:14,135
I intend to publish an article

1312
02:17:14,736 --> 02:17:18,438
about this entire incident
on my return to London.

1313
02:17:18,840 --> 02:17:20,041
And...

1314
02:17:20,141 --> 02:17:21,843
the tone of that article,

1315
02:17:21,943 --> 02:17:23,711
the way in which I portray you

1316
02:17:23,811 --> 02:17:27,447
and the Irving family
and this entire accursed island

1317
02:17:27,548 --> 02:17:29,584
shall be determined
by this moment

1318
02:17:29,684 --> 02:17:32,486
and whether or not
you let me look upon you.

1319
02:17:41,294 --> 02:17:42,697
Please!

1320
02:17:44,397 --> 02:17:46,534
What if there
is nothing after this?

1321
02:17:46,634 --> 02:17:49,971
No Heaven, no Hell.
Just nothing.

1322
02:17:50,071 --> 02:17:54,842
No awareness of the fact
that we were ever aware at all.

1323
02:17:54,942 --> 02:17:57,845
Stop it! Please!

1324
02:18:00,181 --> 02:18:02,150
Just show yourself.

1325
02:18:02,850 --> 02:18:05,620
Just for a moment, please.
Just...

1326
02:18:06,453 --> 02:18:08,623
Just show me that you're real.

1327
02:18:08,723 --> 02:18:12,693
Just a-a-a tuft
of your little tail.

1328
02:18:15,797 --> 02:18:19,801
W-Wait!
What if you scratch my arm?

1329
02:18:19,901 --> 02:18:23,271
With your claws,
just a little scratch. Please.

1330
02:18:23,704 --> 02:18:26,040
Please, I'm begging you.
Just a little scratch,

1331
02:18:26,140 --> 02:18:28,042
with your little claws.

1332
02:18:28,142 --> 02:18:30,611
I don't want to hurt you.

1333
02:18:30,711 --> 02:18:33,114
Even though you want to hurt me.

1334
02:18:33,214 --> 02:18:34,447
I don't!

1335
02:18:34,549 --> 02:18:36,349
I don't want to hurt you.

1336
02:18:36,449 --> 02:18:38,019
What do you mean?

1337
02:18:38,485 --> 02:18:40,521
I mean you no harm.

1338
02:18:40,621 --> 02:18:43,490
And I don't mind. Really. Just--

1339
02:18:43,591 --> 02:18:46,326
I'm asking, I am begging you,
please.

1340
02:18:46,426 --> 02:18:49,664
Just scratch my arm, there.
Just on the wrist.

1341
02:18:50,264 --> 02:18:52,499
Ow! Ow!

1342
02:19:07,347 --> 02:19:08,649
Thank you.

1343
02:19:11,552 --> 02:19:13,386
You all right?

1344
02:19:15,823 --> 02:19:18,391
Yeah.
I think it is time

1345
02:19:18,491 --> 02:19:21,128
that I returned to London.

1346
02:20:01,434 --> 02:20:03,771
After careful consideration,

1347
02:20:03,871 --> 02:20:05,740
I've decided that upon
returning to London,

1348
02:20:05,840 --> 02:20:08,843
I will be tending my resignation
as your assistant.

1349
02:20:11,078 --> 02:20:12,780
Because of the mongoose.

1350
02:20:12,880 --> 02:20:14,081
Yes.

1351
02:20:16,150 --> 02:20:17,952
And because I am unhappy.

1352
02:20:22,256 --> 02:20:23,824
So am I.

1353
02:20:29,830 --> 02:20:34,235
I will offer my wholehearted
recommendation

1354
02:20:34,335 --> 02:20:37,171
to any future
prospective employers

1355
02:20:37,271 --> 02:20:40,107
should they contact me
regarding you.

1356
02:20:40,207 --> 02:20:41,909
Thank you.

1357
02:20:42,009 --> 02:20:43,511
And...

1358
02:20:46,047 --> 02:20:47,447
I will miss you.

1359
02:20:49,884 --> 02:20:52,186
I will miss you too, Nandor.

1360
02:20:53,554 --> 02:20:55,488
Well, then don't leave.

1361
02:20:55,589 --> 02:20:58,359
I have already decided.

1362
02:20:58,458 --> 02:21:00,995
Well, then undecide.

1363
02:21:05,967 --> 02:21:09,036
Do you really, really, really
want me to stay?

1364
02:21:09,971 --> 02:21:13,641
I would be utterly lost
without you.

1365
02:21:20,114 --> 02:21:21,148
Well...

1366
02:21:23,417 --> 02:21:25,219
Were I to consider staying,

1367
02:21:27,588 --> 02:21:30,825
I should require a raise in pay
by a dollar an hour.

1368
02:21:31,459 --> 02:21:32,927
Oh.

1369
02:21:35,262 --> 02:21:36,330
Fine.

1370
02:21:36,430 --> 02:21:38,566
And a letter
of introduction

1371
02:21:38,666 --> 02:21:41,402
to Dr. Elliot Weaving
of the University of Kent's

1372
02:21:41,502 --> 02:21:43,137
Paranormal Research Department.

1373
02:21:43,237 --> 02:21:45,039
I despise that man.

1374
02:21:45,139 --> 02:21:46,707
He respects you.

1375
02:21:48,209 --> 02:21:50,044
Fine. Anything else?

1376
02:21:50,144 --> 02:21:51,245
Yes.

1377
02:21:52,880 --> 02:21:57,084
You must consider...
the possibility, at least,

1378
02:21:58,219 --> 02:21:59,720
that Gef is real.

1379
02:22:01,922 --> 02:22:04,592
I wish you the best
in all your future endeavors.

1380
02:22:06,093 --> 02:22:07,128
Fine!

1381
02:22:08,396 --> 02:22:09,430
A dollar an hour?

1382
02:22:09,530 --> 02:22:10,531
Yes.

1383
02:22:10,631 --> 02:22:12,266
And the letter of introduction.

1384
02:22:13,167 --> 02:22:14,635
Reluctantly, yes.

1385
02:22:16,103 --> 02:22:17,538
Then I accept.

1386
02:22:19,306 --> 02:22:20,808
Welcome back.

1387
02:22:39,727 --> 02:22:41,095
The Calvert, was it?

1388
02:22:41,195 --> 02:22:46,901
It was. But, um, I regret
to inform you that, uh...

1389
02:22:49,470 --> 02:22:52,606
I've quit drinking.
Oh.

1390
02:22:52,706 --> 02:22:54,942
The trip was that bad?

1391
02:22:56,777 --> 02:22:59,146
From Mr. James Irving.

1392
02:22:59,246 --> 02:23:00,848
Oh, God.

1393
02:23:03,417 --> 02:23:05,419
"Dr. Fodor,

1394
02:23:05,520 --> 02:23:06,821
while your trip
to Dalby Mountain

1395
02:23:06,921 --> 02:23:08,622
began somewhat auspiciously,

1396
02:23:08,722 --> 02:23:11,025
the way in which you made
your departure was..."

1397
02:23:11,125 --> 02:23:12,561
Blah, blah, blah.

1398
02:23:12,660 --> 02:23:15,530
"I regret to inform you
that I have employed

1399
02:23:15,629 --> 02:23:17,431
the honorable Karl Leibovitz,

1400
02:23:17,532 --> 02:23:19,800
an attorney from Leeds
who specializes

1401
02:23:19,900 --> 02:23:23,104
in litigating cases
involving libel, slander,

1402
02:23:23,204 --> 02:23:24,539
and defamation suits."

1403
02:23:24,638 --> 02:23:26,740
Oh. Incredible.

1404
02:23:26,841 --> 02:23:29,110
Uh, blah, blah
and we get to the-- ah, yes.

1405
02:23:29,210 --> 02:23:31,412
"I inform you of all this
not as a threat,

1406
02:23:31,513 --> 02:23:34,281
but as a piece of information
for you to keep in mind

1407
02:23:34,381 --> 02:23:36,717
when and if you ever decide
to publish an account

1408
02:23:36,817 --> 02:23:39,887
chronicling your time
at Cashen's Gap."

1409
02:23:41,889 --> 02:23:42,923
Oh.

1410
02:23:45,059 --> 02:23:47,628
You want me to order you
a glass of water?

1411
02:23:47,728 --> 02:23:49,163
Uh, please.

1412
02:23:50,931 --> 02:23:53,434
What about Gef himself?

1413
02:23:53,535 --> 02:23:55,736
Have you heard from the bastard?

1414
02:23:55,836 --> 02:23:59,840
He calls me once a week,
at least.

1415
02:23:59,940 --> 02:24:03,545
He called me about a month ago.

1416
02:24:03,644 --> 02:24:05,980
Told me that I had left
one of my shoes behind,

1417
02:24:06,080 --> 02:24:08,482
<i>and that he was keeping it safe</i>
<i>in his little cave,</i>

1418
02:24:08,583 --> 02:24:10,751
<i>should I ever care to return.</i>

1419
02:24:11,218 --> 02:24:12,953
Son of a bitch!

1420
02:24:15,689 --> 02:24:19,927
Gef has become a bit
of a local celebrity.

1421
02:24:20,361 --> 02:24:22,897
Did you hear about the case
of R.S. Lambert

1422
02:24:22,997 --> 02:24:26,100
and the British
Broadcasting Company?

1423
02:24:26,200 --> 02:24:27,368
Indeed.

1424
02:24:27,468 --> 02:24:30,070
And did you hear
that after you left,

1425
02:24:30,171 --> 02:24:33,575
a filmmaker by the name
of Roger Sanz

1426
02:24:33,674 --> 02:24:36,877
brought a film crew to the Isle

1427
02:24:36,977 --> 02:24:41,749
to attempt to obtain evidence
of Gef

1428
02:24:42,283 --> 02:24:45,386
via motion pictures?

1429
02:24:45,486 --> 02:24:46,754
Did I hear!

1430
02:24:46,854 --> 02:24:49,156
<i>The Haunting</i>
<i>of the Isle of Man.</i>

1431
02:24:49,591 --> 02:24:51,258
<i>I attended</i>
<i>the film's premiere,</i>

1432
02:24:51,358 --> 02:24:52,760
<i>if you could call it that.</i>

1433
02:24:52,860 --> 02:24:54,629
<i>On the remote Isle of Man,</i>

1434
02:24:54,728 --> 02:24:56,263
<i>a little seen but much heard</i>
<i>little creature</i>

1435
02:24:56,363 --> 02:24:58,365
<i>going by the name of Gef</i>
<i>is fast becoming</i>

1436
02:24:58,465 --> 02:25:01,235
<i>as famous a mystery</i>
<i>as the Loch Ness Monster,</i>

1437
02:25:01,335 --> 02:25:03,204
<i>only this elusive</i>
<i>creature talks,</i>

1438
02:25:03,304 --> 02:25:05,806
<i>baffling experts</i>
<i>with his sinister</i>

1439
02:25:05,906 --> 02:25:08,275
<i>and powerful pronouncements.</i>

1440
02:25:08,976 --> 02:25:10,579
I saw it shortly thereafter.

1441
02:25:11,979 --> 02:25:14,616
I think it, uh, unequivocally

1442
02:25:14,715 --> 02:25:18,085
puts the mystery of Gef's
existence to rest.

1443
02:25:24,992 --> 02:25:26,760
Will you be publishing
an article

1444
02:25:26,860 --> 02:25:28,362
about your experience, then,

1445
02:25:28,462 --> 02:25:34,569
considering how litigious our
friend Mr. Irving has become?

1446
02:25:34,669 --> 02:25:36,971
I think I will, yes.

1447
02:25:37,071 --> 02:25:37,905
Hmm.

1448
02:25:38,005 --> 02:25:40,508
A braver man than I!

1449
02:25:41,976 --> 02:25:46,814
Well, I will portray the Irvings
and their imaginary pet

1450
02:25:46,914 --> 02:25:49,450
in a far kinder hue
than they deserve.

1451
02:25:49,551 --> 02:25:53,387
And though my time
at the farm was admittedly...

1452
02:25:54,121 --> 02:25:55,657
horrific,

1453
02:25:55,756 --> 02:25:59,728
as the weeks and months pass,
I recall with...

1454
02:25:59,827 --> 02:26:04,566
more and more fondness
my bizarre time there.

1455
02:26:04,666 --> 02:26:07,268
I feel the same.

1456
02:26:10,437 --> 02:26:12,406
And in the end,

1457
02:26:12,507 --> 02:26:15,442
do you feel as though
you understand any better

1458
02:26:15,543 --> 02:26:19,614
the phenomena that is Gef?

1459
02:26:19,714 --> 02:26:24,285
Or the motives of the Irvings?

1460
02:26:25,486 --> 02:26:26,554
Perhaps.

1461
02:26:28,022 --> 02:26:31,358
Why is it that we write,
Dr. Price?

1462
02:26:31,458 --> 02:26:33,060
Hmmm.

1463
02:26:34,161 --> 02:26:39,466
To chronicle our experiences,
I suppose?

1464
02:26:39,900 --> 02:26:41,536
To remember.

1465
02:26:42,870 --> 02:26:46,508
Perhaps you can recall
every detail

1466
02:26:46,608 --> 02:26:48,409
of the cases
you've investigated,

1467
02:26:48,510 --> 02:26:50,144
but I fear...

1468
02:26:50,244 --> 02:26:55,849
entire sections of my life
have faded from view.

1469
02:26:55,949 --> 02:26:58,787
That is not what I meant.

1470
02:26:58,886 --> 02:27:00,287
To journal certainly,

1471
02:27:00,387 --> 02:27:03,857
but why do we publish
our writings?

1472
02:27:04,491 --> 02:27:06,026
To remember, you said.

1473
02:27:06,126 --> 02:27:10,765
No, we publish our writings
to be remembered.

1474
02:27:10,864 --> 02:27:12,634
We do not speak of it, often,

1475
02:27:12,734 --> 02:27:15,436
but we want our names
to be known.

1476
02:27:15,537 --> 02:27:18,573
To be recognized
within our field, and without.

1477
02:27:18,673 --> 02:27:21,375
I do not want fame!

1478
02:27:21,475 --> 02:27:22,777
Neither do I.

1479
02:27:22,876 --> 02:27:25,012
But we would not publish
our findings,

1480
02:27:25,112 --> 02:27:27,915
we would not write novels,
Dr. Price,

1481
02:27:28,015 --> 02:27:31,151
if we did not wish them
to be read.

1482
02:27:33,921 --> 02:27:35,657
It is incredibly ironic

1483
02:27:35,757 --> 02:27:39,794
that one of the most profound
questions I have ever been asked

1484
02:27:39,893 --> 02:27:42,930
was by none other
than Gef himself.

1485
02:27:43,030 --> 02:27:44,898
You're kidding!

1486
02:27:46,300 --> 02:27:47,468
No.

1487
02:27:48,335 --> 02:27:51,606
"What if there is nothing
after this?"

1488
02:27:52,005 --> 02:27:53,874
the creature entreated.

1489
02:27:55,342 --> 02:27:59,346
<i>"No Heaven, no Hell.</i>
<i>Just nothing.</i>

1490
02:28:00,314 --> 02:28:03,984
<i>No awareness that</i>
<i>we were ever aware at all."</i>

1491
02:28:07,087 --> 02:28:09,323
A grim query!

1492
02:28:09,423 --> 02:28:10,891
Indeed.

1493
02:28:12,025 --> 02:28:15,329
What if there is nothing
before or after?

1494
02:28:17,297 --> 02:28:19,400
What if this is all there is?

1495
02:28:22,169 --> 02:28:23,638
If that is so, then...

1496
02:28:23,738 --> 02:28:26,574
all that is left
after our bodies die

1497
02:28:26,674 --> 02:28:28,142
are the things we leave behind.

1498
02:28:28,242 --> 02:28:31,579
<i>In your case, and in mine,</i>
<i>it is our writings.</i>

1499
02:28:31,679 --> 02:28:34,181
<i>The tales of the bizarre places</i>
<i>we have been,</i>

1500
02:28:34,281 --> 02:28:37,151
<i>the-the people and phenomena</i>
<i>we have observed.</i>

1501
02:28:37,251 --> 02:28:39,788
<i>That we have experienced</i>
<i>these things,</i>

1502
02:28:39,888 --> 02:28:41,221
is what makes us unique,

1503
02:28:41,321 --> 02:28:44,258
among the two billion or so
people on this planet.

1504
02:28:45,392 --> 02:28:47,629
What, then,
makes the Irvings unique?

1505
02:28:48,929 --> 02:28:51,231
For what will they
be remembered?

1506
02:33:54,736 --> 02:34:00,842
Yeah, I just wanted to give out,
uh, a shout to the entire...

1507
02:34:00,942 --> 02:34:02,342
well, almost,

1508
02:34:02,442 --> 02:34:06,748
the entire cast and crew,
uh, on the production

1509
02:34:06,848 --> 02:34:09,349
of <i>Nandor Fodor</i>
<i>and the Talking Mongoose.</i>

1510
02:34:09,449 --> 02:34:12,954
An extraordinary cast,
incredible crew, amazing DOP.

1511
02:34:13,054 --> 02:34:16,524
Extraordinary costumes, set.
I mean, everything was amazing.

1512
02:34:16,624 --> 02:34:18,860
Um, apart from working
with Adam. Um...

1513
02:34:18,960 --> 02:34:22,964
<i>'cause he is a bit of a diva,</i>
<i>to say the least.</i>

1514
02:34:23,064 --> 02:34:26,067
I've been in this business
for over 40-plus years.

1515
02:34:26,167 --> 02:34:27,400
I've worked with some
great actors,

1516
02:34:27,502 --> 02:34:29,003
great writers, directors,

1517
02:34:29,103 --> 02:34:30,671
all kinds of great people.

1518
02:34:30,772 --> 02:34:33,440
But I've never worked
with a complete.

1519
02:34:34,208 --> 02:34:37,145
<i>And the guy who wins that prize</i>
<i>is a guy called Adam Sigal.</i>

1520
02:34:37,245 --> 02:34:39,647
Who calls himself a director.

1521
02:34:39,747 --> 02:34:42,917
Really, really challenging guy,
yeah.

1522
02:34:43,017 --> 02:34:44,852
You get a project

1523
02:34:44,952 --> 02:34:48,455
and you read it
and you get excited about it

1524
02:34:48,556 --> 02:34:50,558
and the money is good
and all that stuff,

1525
02:34:50,658 --> 02:34:53,060
and then you get there
and there's just...

1526
02:34:54,394 --> 02:34:56,496
<i>this guy at the helm.</i>

1527
02:34:58,833 --> 02:35:01,903
The man's a fool.
Couldn't direct traffic.

1528
02:35:02,469 --> 02:35:03,805
And I was like, "Oh, by the way,

1529
02:35:03,905 --> 02:35:08,242
there's two words that
I wanted to just swap around,

1530
02:35:08,341 --> 02:35:11,012
<i>because I just think it might</i>
<i>fly a little bit better."</i>

1531
02:35:11,112 --> 02:35:15,817
And he said, "What the
did you say about my script?"

1532
02:35:16,284 --> 02:35:17,685
If something wasn't going right,

1533
02:35:17,785 --> 02:35:20,387
<i>he would just stand up</i>
<i>and shout,</i>

1534
02:35:20,487 --> 02:35:22,156
<i>and then just storm off,</i>

1535
02:35:22,256 --> 02:35:24,225
<i>and you wouldn't see him</i>
<i>for hours.</i>

1536
02:35:24,324 --> 02:35:26,294
<i>And then when he was ready</i>
<i>to come on set,</i>

1537
02:35:26,393 --> 02:35:27,695
he wouldn't come back on set.

1538
02:35:27,795 --> 02:35:31,098
He would just send back
an Alsatian called Gavin,

1539
02:35:31,999 --> 02:35:34,334
<i>who he then would scream</i>
<i>from the other room,</i>

1540
02:35:34,434 --> 02:35:36,637
<i>"Gavin's now directing!"</i>

1541
02:35:37,505 --> 02:35:40,842
<i>And you can tell, obviously,</i>
<i>when watching the movie,</i>

1542
02:35:40,942 --> 02:35:43,343
<i>the parts that are directed</i>
<i>by a dog.</i>

1543
02:35:43,443 --> 02:35:45,112
Because they're better!

1544
02:35:45,546 --> 02:35:47,548
I... I can't talk right now.

1545
02:35:47,648 --> 02:35:49,283
He grabbed me
by the back of my hair.

1546
02:35:49,382 --> 02:35:53,855
He slammed my face down
really hard on my desk.

1547
02:35:55,056 --> 02:35:56,389
That was day one.

1548
02:35:56,489 --> 02:36:01,329
Uh, Adam Sigal
is a bubble,

1549
02:36:01,428 --> 02:36:03,363
<i>and I wish that mother</i>

1550
02:36:03,463 --> 02:36:04,966
<i>would just off</i>
<i>back to Florida</i>

1551
02:36:05,066 --> 02:36:06,734
<i>with the rest</i>
<i>of the alligators</i>

1552
02:36:06,834 --> 02:36:08,970
<i>and hicks that</i>
<i>he hangs out with.</i>

1553
02:36:09,070 --> 02:36:10,104
What a!

1554
02:36:10,204 --> 02:36:12,707
What a!
