3
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:18,948
Cheers.

00:01:55,724 --> 00:01:58,030
<i>The earliest
documented instance</i>

5
00:01:58,161 --> 00:02:00,381
<i>of an animal speaking
like a human</i>

6
00:02:00,511 --> 00:02:02,383
<i>was in the 5th century BC,</i>

7
00:02:02,513 --> 00:02:05,690
<i>by the Greek physician Ctesias,
who wrote,</i>

8
00:02:05,821 --> 00:02:07,475
<i>"In my travels to India,</i>

9
00:02:07,605 --> 00:02:10,521
<i>I encountered a parrot
about as large as a hawk,</i>

10
00:02:10,652 --> 00:02:14,003
<i>with a human tongue and voice,
a dark red beak, a black beard,</i>

11
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:17,659
<i>and blue feathers up to a neck,
which is red like cinnabar.</i>

12
00:02:17,789 --> 00:02:19,530
<i>It speaks Indian like a native</i>

13
00:02:19,661 --> 00:02:22,098
<i>and if taught Greek,
speaks Greek."</i>

<i>In 1962, a budgerigar
named Sparkie Williams</i>

15
00:02:30,454 --> 00:02:33,327
<i>held the world record
for the largest vocabulary</i>

16
00:02:33,457 --> 00:02:34,589
<i>of a talking bird.</i>

17
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:35,981
Stupid bastard.

18
00:02:36,112 --> 00:02:37,331
<i>At the time of his death,</i>

19
00:02:37,461 --> 00:02:39,724
<i>he knew 531 words.</i>

20
00:02:39,855 --> 00:02:44,207
Stupid bastard. Silly bugger.
Stupid bastard.

21
00:02:44,338 --> 00:02:45,817
Like I told you,

22
00:02:45,948 --> 00:02:48,472
he is a very, very,
very good boy.

23
00:02:48,951 --> 00:02:50,344
That's not important right now.

24

<i>In 1995,
a budgerigar named Park</i>

25
00:02:53,956 --> 00:02:56,611
<i>was credited by Guinness's</i>
Book of World Records

26
00:02:56,741 --> 00:03:00,223
<i>as having the largest
vocabulary of any bird.</i>

27
00:03:00,354 --> 00:03:03,748
Never shake a baby bird,
that would surely be absurd.

<i>Konnichiwa!</i>

29
00:03:06,055 --> 00:03:07,099

30
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,232
<i>can be taught the most words,</i>

31
00:03:09,363 --> 00:03:12,148

33
00:03:15,891 --> 00:03:17,632
Hello, how are you?

34
00:03:20,069 --> 00:03:21,636
Hello, how are you?

35
00:03:23,072 --> 00:03:24,595
<i>Crows are considered</i>

36
00:03:24,726 --> 00:03:27,555
<i>some of the most intelligent
animals on Earth.</i>

00:03:27,685 --> 00:03:29,121
Come on.

38
00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:31,254
<i>And they can learn,
in some cases,</i>

39
00:03:31,385 --> 00:03:33,952
<i>to mimic human speech
and laughter.</i>

40
00:03:34,083 --> 00:03:35,693
What a good boy.

41
00:03:35,824 --> 00:03:37,129
<i>And while most often</i>

42
00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:38,522
<i>when one thinks of an animal</i>

43
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:39,958
<i>speaking like a human...</i>

44
00:03:41,917 --> 00:03:43,527
<i>...one thinks of a bird.</i>

45
00:03:49,011 --> 00:03:51,056
<i>Some other animals
can produce sounds</i>

46
00:03:51,187 --> 00:03:54,582
<i>that are remarkably
like the ones we make.</i>

47
00:04:03,112 --> 00:04:05,941
<i>These are very
isolated occurrences, however.</i>

48
00:04:06,071 --> 00:04:07,638
<i>The result of coincidence</i>

49
00:04:07,769 --> 00:04:09,945
<i>rather than anything supernatural.</i>

You are considered to be
the world's foremost expert

51
00:04:36,754 --> 00:04:39,017
in parapsychology.

52
00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:40,497
A field of research I will admit

53
00:04:40,628 --> 00:04:43,935
I was unfamiliar with
until quite recently.

54
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:45,328
Well, most are.

55
00:04:45,459 --> 00:04:46,764
Hm.

56
00:04:46,895 --> 00:04:49,506
There is something
I have been dying to ask,

57
00:04:49,637 --> 00:04:50,725
no pun intended,

58
00:04:50,855 --> 00:04:52,814
since we arranged
this interview.

59
00:04:53,336 --> 00:04:56,861
I hope my, uh, nomenclature
is not too crude.

60
00:04:56,992 --> 00:04:58,210
Well, what is it?

61
00:04:58,341 --> 00:05:02,519
Well, do you believe in ghosts?

62
00:05:03,825 --> 00:05:05,870
Well, the answer
to that question

63
00:05:06,001 --> 00:05:07,611
is actually quite complicated.

64
00:05:07,742 --> 00:05:09,221
How so?

65
00:05:09,352 --> 00:05:12,094
Do you believe
that ghosts are real?

66
00:05:12,224 --> 00:05:14,226
Well, now that is an entirely
different question

67
00:05:14,357 --> 00:05:16,751
with an even more
complicated answer.

68
00:05:17,795 --> 00:05:20,189
I'm afraid I'm a bit lost.

69
00:05:20,885 --> 00:05:22,104
Aren't we all?

70
00:05:23,888 --> 00:05:25,803
Allow me to respond
to your inquiry

71
00:05:25,934 --> 00:05:27,501
with a question for you.

72
00:05:27,631 --> 00:05:30,504
And that is, how do you define
that term, "real"?

73
00:05:31,069 --> 00:05:36,553
Well, it is, I suppose,
what I can see, what I can feel.

74
00:05:36,684 --> 00:05:39,817
Hear, smell.
What is obviously around me.

75
00:05:39,948 --> 00:05:42,124
Precisely.
What you can see,

76
00:05:42,254 --> 00:05:43,430
what you can feel,

77
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,953
what is around you.

78
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:46,346
- Right.
- Now, allow me

79
00:05:46,476 --> 00:05:49,000
to elucidate further
with a short exercise.

80
00:05:49,131 --> 00:05:50,785
- All right.
- Suppose when I look

81
00:05:50,915 --> 00:05:52,264
into the corner of the room,

82
00:05:52,395 --> 00:05:55,529
I see a man standing there
looking back at me.

83
00:05:58,183 --> 00:05:59,576
But there's no one there.

84
00:05:59,707 --> 00:06:00,751
So you say.

85
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:03,580
But what if I could see someone?

86
00:06:04,494 --> 00:06:05,669
Can you?

87
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,236
For the purpose
of this demonstration,

88
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:10,195
yes, I see, as I said, a man.

89
00:06:10,326 --> 00:06:14,243
He is old with a heavy beard.

90
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:16,376
Blue eyes.

91
00:06:16,506 --> 00:06:18,856
He is making faces at me now.

92
00:06:18,987 --> 00:06:20,597
He is waggling his tongue.

93
00:06:24,862 --> 00:06:29,867
Right, but, uh, but there is
no one there.

94
00:06:29,998 --> 00:06:31,391
Do you see anyone there?

95
00:06:34,611 --> 00:06:37,353
What? So you cannot see him,
neither can he.

96
00:06:37,484 --> 00:06:39,050
And yet I can.

97
00:06:39,181 --> 00:06:40,661
So is he real or not?

98
00:06:40,791 --> 00:06:43,011
Well, no.

99
00:06:43,751 --> 00:06:45,056
But I say he is.

100
00:06:45,187 --> 00:06:47,450
But he is not.

101
00:06:47,581 --> 00:06:49,147
But I...

102
00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:52,194
say he is.

103
00:06:54,109 --> 00:06:56,938
That you two cannot see anyone
is irrelevant

104
00:06:57,068 --> 00:06:58,722
as far as I am concerned.

105
00:06:58,853 --> 00:07:00,463
You could bring
a thousand people in here

106
00:07:00,594 --> 00:07:02,334
and ask them all
if they see someone

107
00:07:02,465 --> 00:07:05,120
and they could all say no,
and yet I can.

108
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,688
So to me, he is real.

109
00:07:09,037 --> 00:07:10,952
I think I understand now.

110
00:07:11,953 --> 00:07:14,259
Good. However...

111
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:15,783
Oh, God, what now?

112
00:07:15,913 --> 00:07:18,568
My field of research with
regard to this scenario

113
00:07:18,699 --> 00:07:20,788
I have concocted
has little to do with the fact

114
00:07:20,918 --> 00:07:22,964
that you two cannot see
anyone in the corner.

115
00:07:23,094 --> 00:07:26,315
In fact, it does not
really matter that I can.

116
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,578
What I am concerned with...

117
00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:32,147
What I am obsessed
with understanding is,

118
00:07:32,277 --> 00:07:34,671
why I can see that man?

119
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:36,456
Do you understand?

120
00:07:37,239 --> 00:07:38,458
Not at all.

121
00:08:37,125 --> 00:08:38,605
Anne, hello.

122
00:08:39,649 --> 00:08:40,781
How was it?

123
00:08:43,087 --> 00:08:44,785
A drink, please.

124
00:08:44,915 --> 00:08:45,960
I see.

125
00:08:47,309 --> 00:08:49,398
Would you prefer
the Burns or the Calvert?

126
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:51,618
The Calvert to start.

127
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,062
Now after the day
you've had,

128
00:09:01,192 --> 00:09:05,501
probably in no mood to have me
read your letters to you.

129
00:09:05,632 --> 00:09:07,416
Well... you might as well.

130
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,200
Otherwise, they'll just...

131
00:09:09,331 --> 00:09:10,724
continue to accumulate.

132
00:09:10,854 --> 00:09:12,073
Yes.

133
00:09:12,682 --> 00:09:13,727
Right.

134
00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:20,821
"Dear Dr. Fodor,

135
00:09:20,951 --> 00:09:22,649
I do hope this letter
finds you well.

136
00:09:22,779 --> 00:09:23,737
My name is--"

137
00:09:23,867 --> 00:09:25,173
S-Sorry, Anne.

138
00:09:26,043 --> 00:09:28,132
If you could skip
the pleasantries,

139
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:29,525
I'm not in the mood.

140
00:09:29,656 --> 00:09:30,961
Certainly. Yeah.

141
00:09:31,092 --> 00:09:32,180
"I live in the town
of Dundee, Scotland

142
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:34,356
with my son Oliver.

143
00:09:34,486 --> 00:09:36,097
When we moved
into the cottage on--"

144
00:09:36,227 --> 00:09:37,533
All right.

145
00:09:37,664 --> 00:09:38,795
Here is what we will do.

146
00:09:38,926 --> 00:09:41,581
You will read the letter
to yourself,

147
00:09:41,711 --> 00:09:44,148
then you will take a moment.

148
00:09:44,714 --> 00:09:47,761
And then you will summarize it
for me.

149
00:09:47,891 --> 00:09:49,153
Ye... yes, sir.

150
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:57,684
How short would you prefer
this summary to be?

151
00:10:00,034 --> 00:10:01,818
Four sentences or less.

152
00:10:03,167 --> 00:10:05,779
- How does that sound?
- Four. Yes.

153
00:10:15,397 --> 00:10:16,485
Oh.

154
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:20,402
Right, I think I've got it.

155
00:10:20,532 --> 00:10:22,578
Oh, does that count as one
of my four sentences?

156
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:24,493
- No.
- Excellent.

157
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:29,063
A young Scottish boy.
He sees his dead grandmother.

158
00:10:29,193 --> 00:10:30,630
Mother doesn't believe.

159
00:10:32,675 --> 00:10:36,200
Mother finds dead grandmother's
necklace on her pillow...

160
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:37,549
One, two, three.

161
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,900
...and the boy suffers at school

162
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:40,944
because of his visions.

163
00:10:41,075 --> 00:10:42,119
Next.

164
00:10:52,477 --> 00:10:53,653
Right.

165
00:10:54,697 --> 00:10:56,046
Library in Calcutta.

166
00:10:57,178 --> 00:11:00,790
Ghost of the former caretaker
said to haunt the history wing.

167
00:11:00,921 --> 00:11:02,662
Books strewn around.

168
00:11:03,793 --> 00:11:05,882
Photograph of phantasm enclosed.

169
00:11:09,059 --> 00:11:10,234
See? It's there.

170
00:11:10,365 --> 00:11:11,453
Oh, for fuck's sake.

171
00:11:11,583 --> 00:11:12,628
Next.

172
00:11:19,156 --> 00:11:21,681
Oh, golly. Right.

173
00:11:25,032 --> 00:11:28,078
Isle of Man.
Family living in a farmhouse.

174
00:11:29,166 --> 00:11:32,387
Claim a talking mongoose
lives in their barn.

175
00:11:33,214 --> 00:11:34,694
Creature's name is Gef.

176
00:11:38,393 --> 00:11:40,090
A talking mongoose.

177
00:11:40,221 --> 00:11:41,265
Yes.

178
00:11:41,788 --> 00:11:43,659
The creature,
whose name is Gef,

179
00:11:45,008 --> 00:11:47,619
resembles a mongoose
or some other member of--

180
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:49,273
May I?

181
00:11:51,101 --> 00:11:52,102
Thank you.

182
00:11:53,147 --> 00:11:55,540
"Dear Dr. Fodor, greetings.

183
00:11:55,671 --> 00:11:59,153
I hope this letter finds you...
The Isle of Man.

184
00:11:59,283 --> 00:12:01,808
Let me begin by saying that
the earliest documented instance

185
00:12:01,938 --> 00:12:04,027
of an animal
speaking like a human

186
00:12:04,158 --> 00:12:06,073
was in the 5th century BC

187
00:12:06,203 --> 00:12:08,466
by the Greek philosopher
Ctesias--"

188
00:12:08,597 --> 00:12:10,773
This is from Dr. Harry Price.

189
00:12:10,904 --> 00:12:14,472
Yes, I-I believe he-he-he
visited the Irving family

190
00:12:14,603 --> 00:12:16,257
and investigated
the creature.

191
00:12:17,867 --> 00:12:18,955
Gef.

192
00:12:20,478 --> 00:12:24,047
"And while he did not see it,
he heard it.

193
00:12:25,048 --> 00:12:27,747
And the Irvings, and many
of the other townspeople

194
00:12:27,877 --> 00:12:31,272
are utterly convinced
that the creature does exist."

195
00:12:38,845 --> 00:12:41,195
- Would you pour me another?
- Oh, yes.

196
00:12:46,461 --> 00:12:48,811
<i>"And while
he did not see it,</i>

197
00:12:48,942 --> 00:12:50,160
<i>he heard it.</i>

198
00:12:51,858 --> 00:12:55,078
<i>And the Irvings, and many
of the other townspeople</i>

199
00:12:55,209 --> 00:12:58,516
<i>are utterly convinced
that the creature does exist."</i>

200
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,086
A talking...

201
00:13:04,305 --> 00:13:05,785
mongoose.

202
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:25,587
I, uh, ordered you a gin rickey.

203
00:13:25,717 --> 00:13:28,416
I dimly recall a fondness for...

204
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,723
Thank you.

205
00:13:33,334 --> 00:13:36,859
Apologies for my lateness.

206
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:41,690
I took a circuitous route,

207
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:45,259
to ensure I was not
being followed.

208
00:13:45,389 --> 00:13:47,739
Why on Earth
would anyone follow you?

209
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:49,524
I don't know.

210
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:52,570
I did not wish to be seen
together in this...

211
00:13:52,701 --> 00:13:53,833
public place.

212
00:13:58,663 --> 00:14:01,144
Have I become that unpopular
with your peers?

213
00:14:02,276 --> 00:14:03,625
I'm afraid so.

214
00:14:05,757 --> 00:14:08,717
The London Spiritualist Alliance

215
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:13,809
do not take kindly to your new
clinical methods of research.

216
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:16,986
So...

217
00:14:18,422 --> 00:14:19,597
The mongoose.

218
00:14:21,034 --> 00:14:22,078
Gef.

219
00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:28,868
Well, I-I must admit I found
your letter to be intriguing.

220
00:14:28,998 --> 00:14:33,133
In my nearly 30 years

221
00:14:33,263 --> 00:14:38,312
of investigating
unnatural occurrences,

222
00:14:38,442 --> 00:14:41,010
this is perhaps
the strangest case

223
00:14:41,141 --> 00:14:43,534
I have ever encountered.

224
00:14:43,665 --> 00:14:45,188
Really?

225
00:14:45,319 --> 00:14:49,236
Mr. Irving, who owns the farm
upon which Gef resides,

226
00:14:49,366 --> 00:14:54,154
had written me 16 letters
over the past four years,

227
00:14:54,284 --> 00:14:58,593
describing the antics
of this bizarre creature.

228
00:14:58,723 --> 00:15:00,377
Strange that
he never wrote to me.

229
00:15:00,508 --> 00:15:04,729
Ah, the Irving family
are peculiar.

230
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:06,688
Just to be clear,

231
00:15:06,818 --> 00:15:10,083
did you witness this creature
during your investigation?

232
00:15:10,213 --> 00:15:14,217
Did you observe it
speaking like a human?

233
00:15:14,348 --> 00:15:15,392
No.

234
00:15:15,523 --> 00:15:16,872
No.

235
00:15:17,003 --> 00:15:19,962
But I did hear it.

236
00:15:20,093 --> 00:15:21,050
You did?

237
00:15:21,181 --> 00:15:23,009
Yes. Once.

238
00:15:23,792 --> 00:15:25,446
From another room.

239
00:15:25,576 --> 00:15:27,056
From another room?

240
00:15:28,014 --> 00:15:30,581
And you're certain
it was the creature you heard,

241
00:15:30,712 --> 00:15:32,061
not someone else?

242
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:34,020
I suppose it could have been.

243
00:15:35,369 --> 00:15:38,459
We were informed
by one of the townspeople

244
00:15:38,589 --> 00:15:40,809
that the daughter, Voirrey,

245
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:44,160
is an adept ventriloquist.

246
00:15:45,422 --> 00:15:46,554
I'm sorry.

247
00:15:46,684 --> 00:15:48,599
I know how all this sounds.

248
00:16:00,568 --> 00:16:01,699
What's this?

249
00:16:01,830 --> 00:16:02,831
My journal.

250
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,007
It contains notes I took

251
00:16:05,138 --> 00:16:10,882
during the investigation
of the Irving family, and Gef.

252
00:16:17,237 --> 00:16:19,152
An adept ventriloquist.

253
00:16:25,854 --> 00:16:28,726
The people of Cashen's Gap
are nearly unanimous

254
00:16:28,857 --> 00:16:32,426
in their belief in-in Gef.

255
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:37,474
Many have encountered
the creature, or so they say.

256
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:40,129
Interesting.

257
00:16:43,741 --> 00:16:45,526
You know who you remind me of?

258
00:16:46,527 --> 00:16:47,571
Who's that?

259
00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:49,834
Harry Houdini.

260
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:53,795
I'm far less clever than he was.

261
00:16:53,925 --> 00:16:56,624
Perhaps, but your lives
have been quite similar,

262
00:16:56,754 --> 00:16:58,060
in some ways.

263
00:16:59,801 --> 00:17:01,324
I recall,

264
00:17:01,455 --> 00:17:03,631
before you became a skeptic.

265
00:17:03,761 --> 00:17:05,241
I am not a skeptic.

266
00:17:05,372 --> 00:17:07,765
Before you became
what you are,

267
00:17:07,896 --> 00:17:09,898
I distinctly remember
you telling me

268
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:14,033
the story of the seance
you participated in.

269
00:17:14,685 --> 00:17:18,341
With a voice medium,
William Cartheuser.

270
00:17:18,472 --> 00:17:21,214
You became disillusioned,
with Cartheuser,

271
00:17:21,910 --> 00:17:24,521
with all mediums, as we know.

272
00:17:24,652 --> 00:17:26,132
And yet, you spoke

273
00:17:26,262 --> 00:17:29,483
of the overwhelming
emotional impact

274
00:17:29,613 --> 00:17:31,876
of encountering...

275
00:17:32,007 --> 00:17:33,661
your departed father.

276
00:17:35,141 --> 00:17:36,577
What has this to do
with Houdini?

277
00:17:36,707 --> 00:17:40,407
Humans are obsessed with death.

278
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:45,020
And with what does
or does not come after it.

279
00:17:45,499 --> 00:17:48,023
You investigate
unnatural occurrences

280
00:17:48,154 --> 00:17:50,330
under the guise of understanding

281
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:56,945
why humans project
these phantasms into reality.

282
00:17:57,772 --> 00:18:03,647
Why they are incapable of
letting go of these delusions,

283
00:18:03,778 --> 00:18:04,996
as you call them.

284
00:18:05,693 --> 00:18:06,737
Yes.

285
00:18:07,999 --> 00:18:12,091
I think you still
just miss your father.

286
00:18:17,792 --> 00:18:19,924
<i>Houdini was deeply affected</i>

287
00:18:20,055 --> 00:18:23,363
<i>by the death of his mother,
as you know.</i>

288
00:18:24,494 --> 00:18:26,583
<i>He visited a medium</i>

289
00:18:26,714 --> 00:18:30,065
<i>hoping he might be able
to communicate with her.</i>

290
00:18:38,508 --> 00:18:42,338
<i>And he realized
that the medium was a fraud.</i>

291
00:18:42,469 --> 00:18:45,776
<i>So he sought to disprove
all mediums,</i>

292
00:18:45,907 --> 00:18:47,865
<i>to expose all psychics</i>

293
00:18:47,996 --> 00:18:51,565
and spiritualists
as opportunists,

294
00:18:51,695 --> 00:18:54,176
who prey upon the bereaved.

295
00:18:55,786 --> 00:18:59,703
<i>He would attend seances
in disguise,</i>

296
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:03,664
<i>and would leap forth
and explain to those present</i>

297
00:19:03,794 --> 00:19:06,014
<i>how they were being duped...</i>

298
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,016
You are a fraud!

299
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:10,453
...demonstrating
the fraudulent methods

300
00:19:10,584 --> 00:19:12,890
the mediums employed.

301
00:19:13,021 --> 00:19:14,327
I've heard these stories.

302
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:17,068
But he wanted to believe.

303
00:19:17,199 --> 00:19:20,028
He wanted to be mystified.

304
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:24,598
He wanted to find one
who did understand

305
00:19:24,728 --> 00:19:29,777
so he could communicate
with his dead mother.

306
00:19:29,907 --> 00:19:33,650
<i>Did you know
that he and his wife, Bess,</i>

307
00:19:33,781 --> 00:19:35,870
<i>devised a message</i>

308
00:19:36,479 --> 00:19:38,960
<i>which one or the other
would relay,</i>

309
00:19:39,090 --> 00:19:42,616
<i>via medium, after they passed?</i>

310
00:19:43,225 --> 00:19:47,186
Supposedly they told no one
this message.

311
00:19:47,316 --> 00:19:49,057
<i>I did not know this, no.</i>

312
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:55,977
After Houdini died,

313
00:19:56,107 --> 00:20:00,677
Bess visited a medium
named Arthur Ford.

314
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:04,594
<i>And he informed her
he had received a message</i>

315
00:20:04,725 --> 00:20:07,206
<i>from her late husband.</i>

316
00:20:08,946 --> 00:20:10,209
Is that right?

317
00:20:10,687 --> 00:20:14,256
<i>Bess confirmed
that the message was,</i>

318
00:20:14,387 --> 00:20:19,609
<i>in fact, the code,
which only she and Harry knew.</i>

319
00:20:26,486 --> 00:20:30,054
So, what do you think
about that?

320
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:35,364
I don't think anything
about that.

321
00:20:43,851 --> 00:20:45,113
Anne!

322
00:20:52,425 --> 00:20:54,253
Ow! Who put that there?

323
00:20:56,907 --> 00:20:58,039
Anne!

324
00:21:04,132 --> 00:21:05,351
Is everything all right?

325
00:21:05,481 --> 00:21:07,831
We are going
to the Isle of Man.

326
00:21:08,876 --> 00:21:09,920
Golly!

327
00:21:16,492 --> 00:21:18,102
"The most extraordinary part

328
00:21:18,233 --> 00:21:19,452
of this amazing case

329
00:21:19,582 --> 00:21:22,063
is that Mr. Irving
has kept a sort of diary

330
00:21:22,193 --> 00:21:24,152
in the form of letters
of Gef's doings,

331
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:26,937
and it rivals
the Arabian Nights

332
00:21:27,068 --> 00:21:31,420
in the fantastic improbabilities
which the record contains.

333
00:21:31,551 --> 00:21:34,597
Before me are 200
quarto typed sheets,

334
00:21:34,728 --> 00:21:37,121
and every page
describes a miracle.

335
00:21:37,252 --> 00:21:40,211
I will mention some of the most
interesting incidents."

336
00:21:46,696 --> 00:21:50,265
<i>In June 1932,
Gef began killing rabbits,</i>

337
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:51,832
<i>for the family.</i>

338
00:21:51,962 --> 00:21:53,137
<i>He strangled them,</i>

339
00:21:53,268 --> 00:21:54,965
<i>and thoughtfully
left them outside</i>

340
00:21:55,096 --> 00:21:58,534
<i>in a convenient position
on the wall.</i>

341
00:21:58,665 --> 00:22:01,885
<i>During the next year or so,
he slaughtered scores of them</i>

342
00:22:02,016 --> 00:22:04,627
<i>and the faunal equilibrium
of the district</i>

343
00:22:04,758 --> 00:22:07,500
<i>was in danger of being upset.</i>

344
00:22:09,371 --> 00:22:10,894
<i>In 1934,</i>

345
00:22:11,025 --> 00:22:14,245
<i>Gef began making little trips
to the nearest town</i>

346
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:16,422
<i>and on his return,
told the farmer</i>

347
00:22:16,552 --> 00:22:19,033
<i>what certain people
have been doing.</i>

348
00:22:19,163 --> 00:22:21,427
<i>This was proved to be correct.</i>

349
00:22:21,557 --> 00:22:24,908
<i>Then he became clairvoyant
and told the farmer</i>

350
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:28,869
<i>what was happening ten miles
away without leaving the farm.</i>

351
00:22:28,999 --> 00:22:31,785
<i>Questioned as to whether
he was a "spirit,"</i>

352
00:22:31,915 --> 00:22:36,442
<i>Gef said
"I am an earthbound spirit."</i>

353
00:22:36,572 --> 00:22:40,141
<i>In July of the same year,
Gef began doing tricks.</i>

354
00:22:40,271 --> 00:22:43,927
<i>A person would go outside
onto the farmhouse's porch</i>

355
00:22:44,058 --> 00:22:46,060
<i>and place some pennies
on a stone.</i>

356
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:48,671
<i>Gef, with his eye
to the door's peephole,</i>

357
00:22:48,802 --> 00:22:52,501
<i>would then say whether
they were heads or tails up.</i>

358
00:22:53,197 --> 00:22:55,461
<i>Sometimes he was right.</i>

359
00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:59,290
<i>Voirrey has even attempted
to photograph him.</i>

360
00:22:59,421 --> 00:23:02,337
<i>But just as she was about
to press the button,</i>

361
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:06,297
<i>he darted off and was not
heard from for days.</i>

362
00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:09,170
<i>Gef explained that he is afraid
of being caught.</i>

363
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:11,955
<i>Not by the camera,
but by a trap.</i>

364
00:23:12,086 --> 00:23:14,305
<i>Hence his timidity.</i>

365
00:23:15,698 --> 00:23:18,788
<i>Sometimes Gef follows
the Irvings to the nearest town</i>

366
00:23:18,919 --> 00:23:20,311
<i>when they go marketing.</i>

367
00:23:20,442 --> 00:23:23,402
<i>But always keeps
on the far side of the hedge,</i>

368
00:23:23,532 --> 00:23:26,970
<i>though he chats gaily
all the time.</i>

369
00:23:29,582 --> 00:23:34,543
<i>In March, 1935,
I received some fur and hairs</i>

370
00:23:34,674 --> 00:23:38,504
<i>which Gef had kindly plucked
from his back and tail,</i>

371
00:23:38,634 --> 00:23:41,115
<i>and was asked to identify it.</i>

372
00:23:42,203 --> 00:23:45,424
<i>I forwarded it
to Professor Julian Huxley,</i>

373
00:23:45,554 --> 00:23:49,471
<i>who handed it to
Mr. F. Martin Duncan, F.Z.S.,</i>

374
00:23:49,602 --> 00:23:52,648
<i>the authority on hair and fur.</i>

375
00:23:52,779 --> 00:23:54,911
<i>In a letter to me, he says:</i>

376
00:23:55,042 --> 00:23:57,653
I have carefully examined them microscopically

377
00:23:57,784 --> 00:24:00,439
and compared them
with hairs of known origin.

378
00:24:01,004 --> 00:24:03,398
As a result,
I can very definitely state

379
00:24:03,529 --> 00:24:06,532
that these specimen hairs
never grew upon a mongoose,

380
00:24:07,184 --> 00:24:11,058
nor are they those of a rat,
rabbit, hare, squirrel,

381
00:24:11,188 --> 00:24:14,931
or other rodent,
or sheep, goat, or cow.

382
00:24:15,758 --> 00:24:18,761
I am inclined
that these hairs have probably

383
00:24:18,892 --> 00:24:22,983
been taken from
a longish-haired dog or dogs.

384
00:24:24,419 --> 00:24:26,856
<i>Mr. Irving wrote
that he would be delighted</i>

385
00:24:26,987 --> 00:24:30,599
<i>to see me and would make
all arrangements for my visit.</i>

386
00:24:30,730 --> 00:24:32,993
<i>Unfortunately,
on receipt of the letter</i>

387
00:24:33,123 --> 00:24:36,518
<i>announcing my decision,
Gef suddenly disappeared.</i>

388
00:24:37,171 --> 00:24:39,521
<i>At the end of the month,
he was still missing,</i>

389
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:41,697
<i>but I decided
not to alter my plans.</i>

390
00:24:41,828 --> 00:24:43,482
<i>And as I wanted a witness</i>

391
00:24:43,612 --> 00:24:46,093
<i>in case Gef should put
in an appearance,</i>

392
00:24:46,223 --> 00:24:50,227
<i>I asked Mr. R.S. Lambert,
the editor of</i> The Listener,

393
00:24:50,358 --> 00:24:52,229
<i>if he would accompany me.</i>

394
00:24:52,969 --> 00:24:55,755
<i>Upon our arrival to the Isle,
we decided to visit</i>

395
00:24:55,885 --> 00:24:57,800
<i>the haunt of Gef right away.</i>

396
00:24:57,931 --> 00:25:00,499
<i>As we approached,
Mr. Lambert and I</i>

397
00:25:00,629 --> 00:25:05,242
<i>were startled by an animal
bounding toward us.</i>

398
00:25:06,287 --> 00:25:08,245
<i>But it was only Ralph,</i>

399
00:25:08,376 --> 00:25:10,117
<i>the Irving's
three-year-old dog,</i>

400
00:25:10,247 --> 00:25:13,076
<i>who had heard
his master's voice.</i>

401
00:25:14,948 --> 00:25:19,213
<i>We at last reached the house
and were introduced to Voirrey,</i>

402
00:25:19,343 --> 00:25:23,739
<i>a good-looking girl of 17
who we found very intelligent,</i>

403
00:25:23,870 --> 00:25:26,002
<i>shy, and rather quiet.</i>

404
00:25:26,133 --> 00:25:29,092
<i>Mrs. Irving is a charming
and dignified lady</i>

405
00:25:29,223 --> 00:25:30,920
<i>who gave us a friendly welcome</i>

406
00:25:31,051 --> 00:25:34,358
<i>and asked us
to make ourselves at home.</i>

407
00:25:34,489 --> 00:25:37,797
<i>Mr. Irving was a successful
Liverpool businessman</i>

408
00:25:37,927 --> 00:25:39,407
<i>who, at the beginning
of the War,</i>

409
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:40,756
<i>bought the farmstead,</i>

410
00:25:40,887 --> 00:25:43,846
<i>hoping to make a living
breeding sheep.</i>

411
00:25:43,977 --> 00:25:45,805
<i>As we sat around
the paraffin lamp</i>

412
00:25:45,935 --> 00:25:48,416
<i>in the small,
dark-paneled parlor,</i>

413
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:51,201
<i>we heard the Gef story
all over again.</i>

414
00:25:51,332 --> 00:25:53,900
<i>Mr. Lambert and I
plied the Irvings</i>

415
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:57,033
<i>with innumerable questions
and received answers</i>

416
00:25:57,164 --> 00:25:58,905
<i>which invariably tallied</i>

417
00:25:59,035 --> 00:26:02,604
<i>with what Mr. Irving
had recorded in his letters.</i>

418
00:26:03,997 --> 00:26:09,089
<i>The family was heartbroken
by Gef's continued absence.</i>

419
00:26:09,219 --> 00:26:11,700
<i>Mrs. Irving
was convinced the mongoose</i>

420
00:26:11,831 --> 00:26:13,746
<i>was still about the house.</i>

421
00:26:14,442 --> 00:26:18,141
<i>Probably listening
to every word we were saying.</i>

422
00:26:20,666 --> 00:26:22,450
<i>She addressed
a few words to Gef</i>

423
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,408
<i>in the hope that her appeal</i>

424
00:26:24,539 --> 00:26:27,455
<i>would strike a sympathetic
chord somewhere.</i>

425
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:30,066
<i>There was no response.</i>

426
00:26:30,197 --> 00:26:31,807
<i>Then I addressed
a little speech</i>

427
00:26:31,938 --> 00:26:34,201
<i>to the four walls
of the living room,</i>

428
00:26:34,331 --> 00:26:36,159
<i>hoping Gef would hear me.</i>

429
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:39,772
<i>I pointed out that we had come
a long way on his account,</i>

430
00:26:39,902 --> 00:26:43,079
<i>and that we were entitled
to some manifestation.</i>

431
00:26:43,210 --> 00:26:45,734
<i>A few words,
a scream, a squeak,</i>

432
00:26:45,865 --> 00:26:48,998
<i>or just a simple scratch
behind the paneling.</i>

433
00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:52,349
<i>I even invited him
to throw something at me.</i>

434
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,569
<i>But all to no purpose.</i>

435
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:58,355
<i>Gef was definitely
not in a talking mood.</i>

436
00:27:01,271 --> 00:27:04,753
<i>Neither Mr. Lambert
nor I slept very well.</i>

437
00:27:04,884 --> 00:27:07,626
<i>The mongoose problem
obsessed our minds</i>

438
00:27:07,756 --> 00:27:09,932
<i>and made sleep difficult.</i>

439
00:27:10,063 --> 00:27:13,544
<i>Was the whole affair
a fraud from A to Z?</i>

440
00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:16,460
<i>Was it a plot
lasting four years?</i>

441
00:27:16,591 --> 00:27:18,985
<i>If so, what was the motive?</i>

442
00:27:19,115 --> 00:27:21,335
<i>Were the Irvings engaged
in a clever,</i>

443
00:27:21,465 --> 00:27:23,946
<i>picturesque conspiracy?</i>

444
00:27:24,077 --> 00:27:26,993
<i>Was there any
sort of animal at all?</i>

445
00:27:27,123 --> 00:27:30,083
<i>Was there any real evidence whatsoever</i>

446
00:27:30,213 --> 00:27:32,085
<i>that Gef had been heard?</i>

447
00:27:32,215 --> 00:27:33,477
<i>If a plot...</i>

448
00:27:33,608 --> 00:27:35,436
<i>there was no apparent motive,</i>

449
00:27:35,566 --> 00:27:37,351
<i>no financial gain.</i>

450
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:45,838
<i>The next morning we awoke to
the news that Gef had returned</i>

451
00:27:45,968 --> 00:27:48,623
<i>and been talking
throughout much of the night.</i>

452
00:27:48,754 --> 00:27:51,191
<i>Incidentally,
Gef had informed the farmer</i>

453
00:27:51,321 --> 00:27:54,194
<i>that he had taken
a sly glance at me</i>

454
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:58,024
<i>and did not like how I looked.</i>

455
00:27:58,154 --> 00:28:01,027
<i>So I was told to stand
in a certain position</i>

456
00:28:01,157 --> 00:28:04,508
<i>on the floor and cry out
"I believe in you, Gef!"</i>

457
00:28:05,161 --> 00:28:07,468
I believe in you, Gef!

458
00:28:07,598 --> 00:28:10,123
<i>There came a shrill scream
from upstairs.</i>

459
00:28:10,253 --> 00:28:13,213
<i>So once again I called out,
this time saying</i>

460
00:28:13,343 --> 00:28:15,563
<i>"Won't you come down?
I believe in you!"</i>

461
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:16,999
<i>To which Gef replied,</i>

462
00:28:17,130 --> 00:28:19,349
<i>"No, I don't mean to stay long,</i>

463
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,047
<i>as I don't like you!"</i>

464
00:28:21,177 --> 00:28:22,744
<i>As the mongoose was talking,</i>

465
00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:25,965
<i>Mr. Lambert crept
toward the stairs.</i>

466
00:28:26,095 --> 00:28:27,401
<i>But unfortunately,</i>

467
00:28:27,531 --> 00:28:29,446
<i>the top stair
had a loose tread,</i>

468
00:28:29,577 --> 00:28:32,058
<i>which he stepped on
and went tumbling down,</i>

469
00:28:32,188 --> 00:28:34,147
<i>making a terrible noise.</i>

470
00:28:34,277 --> 00:28:37,585
<i>Gef shrieked out
"He is coming!" and vanished.</i>

471
00:28:44,157 --> 00:28:46,768
<i>The Irvings
were kindness personified,</i>

472
00:28:46,899 --> 00:28:51,077
<i>and did everything for us,
except produce Gef.</i>

473
00:28:53,209 --> 00:28:56,473
<i>Mr. Irving personally
conducted us over the house</i>

474
00:28:56,604 --> 00:28:59,041
<i>and pointed out Gef's haunts.</i>

475
00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:02,088
<i>We saw numerous peepholes,</i>

476
00:29:02,218 --> 00:29:04,090
<i>cracks through which Gef
threw things</i>

477
00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:05,961
<i>at doubting visitors.</i>

478
00:29:06,657 --> 00:29:08,834
<i>Squint-holes
through which the mongoose</i>

479
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:10,357
<i>watches the Irvings.</i>

480
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:12,272
<i>We saw the runs behind paneling</i>

481
00:29:12,402 --> 00:29:14,883
<i>by which Gef can skip, unseen,</i>

482
00:29:15,014 --> 00:29:17,277
<i>from one room to another.</i>

483
00:29:17,407 --> 00:29:19,105
<i>The fact that every room
is paneled</i>

484
00:29:19,235 --> 00:29:22,456
<i>makes the whole house
one enormous speaking-tube,</i>

485
00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:25,459
<i>with walls
like sounding-boards.</i>

486
00:29:27,853 --> 00:29:30,856
<i>In Voirrey's room
we were shown Gef's "sanctum,"</i>

487
00:29:30,986 --> 00:29:32,988
<i>which was a boxed partition,</i>

488
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,817
<i>on top of which Gef
was said to dance</i>

489
00:29:35,948 --> 00:29:39,995
<i>to the gramophone
and bounce his favorite ball.</i>

490
00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:44,695
<i>By speaking into one of the
many apertures in the panels,</i>

491
00:29:44,826 --> 00:29:46,175
<i>it should be possible</i>

492
00:29:46,306 --> 00:29:47,698
<i>to convey the voice</i>

493
00:29:47,829 --> 00:29:49,788
<i>to various parts of the house.</i>

494
00:29:53,530 --> 00:29:56,490
<i>Apparently,
Gef often does this.</i>

495
00:30:05,586 --> 00:30:06,630
Can I fetch you a drink?

496
00:30:06,761 --> 00:30:09,329
Thank you.
No, um, I'm exhausted.

497
00:30:09,459 --> 00:30:11,897
I think I'm going
to retire early.

498
00:30:12,027 --> 00:30:13,681
Tomorrow should be interesting.

499
00:30:15,117 --> 00:30:17,554
I'm going to go to
the, uh, pub for a nightcap.

500
00:30:17,685 --> 00:30:18,991
Unless there's anything else
you might need?

501
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:21,689
Uh, no, by all means.

502
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:25,998
And, um, if you happen to see
any talking mongeese...

503
00:30:28,914 --> 00:30:30,480
It's mongooses,
I believe.

504
00:30:31,090 --> 00:30:33,788
Well, if you happen to see
any of either then,

505
00:30:34,528 --> 00:30:35,746
inform me right away.

506
00:30:35,877 --> 00:30:37,400
Yes, of course.

507
00:30:37,531 --> 00:30:39,707
- Night.
- Good night.

508
00:30:51,588 --> 00:30:52,807
Good evening.

509
00:30:55,462 --> 00:30:58,030
- And to you.
- Is the bar closed?

510
00:30:59,770 --> 00:31:01,685
What would you like to drink,
m'dear?

511
00:31:03,905 --> 00:31:05,080
A whiskey.

512
00:31:06,603 --> 00:31:08,954
I dunno if it's good whiskey
I'm afraid.

513
00:31:09,780 --> 00:31:11,347
Well, shouldn't we wait for...

514
00:31:11,478 --> 00:31:12,522
For whom?

515
00:31:30,758 --> 00:31:32,891
Here to see ol' Gef, right?

516
00:31:34,370 --> 00:31:36,633
I am the assistant
to Dr. Nandor Fodor,

517
00:31:36,764 --> 00:31:38,766
the world's
foremost parapsychologist.

518
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,942
And we are here
to investigate a possible

519
00:31:41,073 --> 00:31:42,683
supernatural occurrence

520
00:31:42,813 --> 00:31:44,903
involving an entity known as,

521
00:31:45,555 --> 00:31:47,383
yes, Gef.

522
00:31:47,514 --> 00:31:48,558
Hm.

523
00:31:49,472 --> 00:31:51,126
Gef ain't supernatural.

524
00:31:53,172 --> 00:31:54,651
He's an earth spirit.

525
00:31:56,436 --> 00:31:58,177
Told me that hisself, he did.

526
00:32:00,092 --> 00:32:01,397
Have you encountered him?

527
00:32:03,051 --> 00:32:04,270
Indeed I have.

528
00:32:05,749 --> 00:32:06,794
Once.

529
00:32:07,838 --> 00:32:09,710
Were near two years past now.

530
00:32:11,842 --> 00:32:14,149
Did you see him?
Can you describe him?

531
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,630
Were but only
for the briefest of moments.

532
00:32:18,632 --> 00:32:20,764
And outta the corner
of me eye.

533
00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:24,072
Oh, I see.

534
00:32:24,203 --> 00:32:25,334
But I heard him speak.

535
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:29,208
Clear as day.

536
00:32:38,739 --> 00:32:41,394
<i>It were after the funeral rites
Father Penzen read</i>

537
00:32:41,524 --> 00:32:43,048
<i>for my beloved Helen.</i>

538
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:46,007
<i>Is that your wife?</i>

539
00:32:46,138 --> 00:32:47,182
<i>Aye.</i>

540
00:32:49,358 --> 00:32:51,186
<i>Nigh onto 30 years.</i>

541
00:32:52,535 --> 00:32:54,363
<i>It was consumption took her...</i>

542
00:32:56,148 --> 00:32:57,410
before her time.

543
00:32:58,063 --> 00:32:59,760
I am very sorry.

544
00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:01,457
I'd had a few that day.

545
00:33:02,284 --> 00:33:04,504
<i>I wasn't copin' too well
with her loss.</i>

546
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,202
<i>So by's time
the rites had been read,</i>

547
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:09,378
<i>I had to piss somethin' fierce.</i>

548
00:33:14,122 --> 00:33:16,298
So I went 'round the side
of that old church,

549
00:33:17,299 --> 00:33:18,518
where I'd be outta sight.

550
00:33:20,607 --> 00:33:23,784
<i>And it was when I was standin'
there, pissin',</i>

551
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:28,223
that I heard him.

552
00:33:30,530 --> 00:33:32,227
- Gef?
- Aye.

553
00:33:39,756 --> 00:33:41,802
<i>He recited a poem to me.</i>

554
00:33:44,805 --> 00:33:50,028
And even now, rememberin',
I get a bit blubbery.

555
00:33:57,122 --> 00:34:00,560
"I dreamed that one
had died in a strange place

556
00:34:00,690 --> 00:34:02,257
Near no accustomed hand

557
00:34:02,388 --> 00:34:04,912
And they had nailed
the boards above her face

558
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:07,001
The peasants of that land

559
00:34:07,132 --> 00:34:09,873
Wondering to lay her
in that solitude

560
00:34:10,004 --> 00:34:11,788
And raised above her mound

561
00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:14,965
A cross they had made
out of two bits of wood

562
00:34:15,096 --> 00:34:17,185
And planted cypress round

563
00:34:17,316 --> 00:34:20,406
And left her
to the indifferent stars above

564
00:34:20,536 --> 00:34:23,148
Until I carved these words

565
00:34:23,278 --> 00:34:27,108
She was more beautiful
than thy first love

566
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,069
But now lies under boards..."

567
00:34:36,161 --> 00:34:38,467
That were the day
I finally quit drinkin'.

568
00:34:47,041 --> 00:34:48,956
That poem was by Yeats,
wasn't it?

569
00:34:49,435 --> 00:34:50,523
It's "A Dream of Death."

570
00:34:50,653 --> 00:34:51,741
Aye.

571
00:34:53,178 --> 00:34:56,833
But it weren't only the poem
itself that struck me so.

572
00:34:59,009 --> 00:35:00,315
It were that voice.

573
00:35:02,796 --> 00:35:04,841
That voice
that got inside of me.

574
00:35:07,192 --> 00:35:12,110
Felt like it were playin' up
my spinal cord like piano keys.

575
00:35:13,372 --> 00:35:14,460
I see.

576
00:35:14,590 --> 00:35:15,591
I'd been numb.

577
00:35:16,418 --> 00:35:17,419
See?

578
00:35:20,074 --> 00:35:22,120
Unaccepting that she were gone.

579
00:35:25,993 --> 00:35:30,084
It were the first time I allowed
myself to feel the pain.

580
00:35:33,261 --> 00:35:34,610
I needed to.

581
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:37,396
I needed to.

582
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,615
I understand.

583
00:35:47,841 --> 00:35:50,974
Ya wanna know the strangest
part of the whole story, though?

584
00:35:54,195 --> 00:35:56,719
There's something stranger
than what you just told me?

585
00:35:58,199 --> 00:35:59,331
Aye.

586
00:36:01,071 --> 00:36:04,162
My Helen passed in April of '33.

587
00:36:05,554 --> 00:36:08,731
Good Friday,
if you can believe it.

588
00:36:10,211 --> 00:36:11,386
Oh.

589
00:36:12,082 --> 00:36:15,782
That poem, Yeats, as you know,

590
00:36:17,827 --> 00:36:20,917
it weren't published
until the summer of '34.

591
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:23,224
Oh.

592
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:25,139
Hm.

593
00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:26,706
You don't believe me, do ya?

594
00:36:28,142 --> 00:36:30,710
Well, it was a very sad story.

595
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:31,928
Aye.

596
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:37,891
You must understand,
Dr. Fodor has instilled in me

597
00:36:38,021 --> 00:36:40,023
a tremendous skepticism.

598
00:36:41,634 --> 00:36:43,810
He always says,
"Believe only that

599
00:36:43,940 --> 00:36:45,681
which can be seen and heard,

600
00:36:45,812 --> 00:36:50,120
touched, detected
by instruments of science.

601
00:36:50,251 --> 00:36:51,992
Believe not words,

602
00:36:52,122 --> 00:36:56,257
but provable, observable facts."

603
00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:02,568
And that's how ya live, then?

604
00:37:05,962 --> 00:37:07,964
I mean, Dr. Fodor
is a brilliant man.

605
00:37:12,578 --> 00:37:14,928
Your story's as sad as mine,
I think.

606
00:37:17,191 --> 00:37:18,366
In its own way.

607
00:38:02,192 --> 00:38:03,846
Hey. Hey.

608
00:38:05,892 --> 00:38:07,894
- You must be Dr. Fodor.
- Yeah. Hello.

609
00:38:08,024 --> 00:38:09,591
- You must be Anne.
- How do you do?

610
00:38:09,722 --> 00:38:10,984
Delighted to make
your acquaintance!

611
00:38:11,114 --> 00:38:12,638
Welcome to Cashen's Gap!

612
00:38:12,768 --> 00:38:14,204
I see you've already met
our mayor!

613
00:38:15,249 --> 00:38:16,685
We're all very excited
that you're here.

614
00:38:16,816 --> 00:38:18,557
Dr. Price spoke
quite highly of you.

615
00:38:18,687 --> 00:38:20,298
Now, he was a lovely man,
he was.

616
00:38:20,428 --> 00:38:21,995
Oh. Indeed.

617
00:38:22,125 --> 00:38:23,388
Best of luck to you.

618
00:38:23,518 --> 00:38:25,041
Oh, thank you, Maurice.

619
00:38:25,172 --> 00:38:26,304
Mayor.

620
00:38:28,088 --> 00:38:29,785
Have to drive you
rest of the way to the house

621
00:38:29,916 --> 00:38:31,221
if that's all right with you.

622
00:38:31,352 --> 00:38:33,267
The, uh, grade can be a bit more

623
00:38:33,398 --> 00:38:35,400
uneven at times, I'm afraid.

624
00:38:35,922 --> 00:38:37,358
I think we will be fine.

625
00:38:40,143 --> 00:38:41,797
The warmth of this winter
in particular,

626
00:38:41,928 --> 00:38:44,757
makes it very suitable
for cultivation of apricots.

627
00:38:44,887 --> 00:38:47,063
Delicious little darlings,
if you've never had 'un.

628
00:38:48,195 --> 00:38:49,936
- I think I'm gonna be sick.
- Oh, gosh.

629
00:38:50,066 --> 00:38:53,940
And here, closer to the water,
the soil's a lot lighter,

630
00:38:54,070 --> 00:38:57,335
more akin to sand, so
the cherry trees just love it.

631
00:38:57,465 --> 00:38:58,684
You can see 'em there.

632
00:39:01,034 --> 00:39:02,209
What?

633
00:39:13,263 --> 00:39:15,570
And with how warm it's been,
as I mentioned,

634
00:39:15,701 --> 00:39:18,530
you know, the fruit's
just been growin' so well.

635
00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:20,270
Last year was more profitable
than the previous,

636
00:39:20,401 --> 00:39:21,924
which had been more profitable
than the previous.

637
00:39:22,055 --> 00:39:24,187
And this year, you know,
set to be the best yet.

638
00:39:24,318 --> 00:39:27,234
You know, it's more work,
but it's rewarding, in its way.

639
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:30,280
Oh, Dr. Fodor,
this is my wife, Margaret.

640
00:39:30,411 --> 00:39:32,326
Maggie,
this is Dr. Nandor Fodor,

641
00:39:32,457 --> 00:39:33,762
and his assistant, Anne.

642
00:39:33,893 --> 00:39:36,678
It's a real pleasure
to meet ya, Dr. Fodor.

643
00:39:36,809 --> 00:39:41,248
Dr. Price spoke so admiringly
of ya in his letters.

644
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:43,729
I wanted to have read your book
before you arrived,

645
00:39:43,859 --> 00:39:46,035
but when I ordered it
from Pavel's in town,

646
00:39:46,166 --> 00:39:48,429
they said it'd be a month
before a copy came.

647
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,564
Well, that is very kind,
and, uh, entirely unnecessary.

648
00:39:53,913 --> 00:39:56,611
And aren't you
a beautiful thing?

649
00:39:57,220 --> 00:39:59,614
Such eleemosynary eyes.

650
00:39:59,745 --> 00:40:00,876
Hello.

651
00:40:01,703 --> 00:40:03,923
Married, are you? Hmm?

652
00:40:04,967 --> 00:40:06,752
Oh. Oh, no.

653
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,015
I'm sor... I'm...

654
00:40:09,145 --> 00:40:11,191
No. [splutters] I'm-I'm-I'm...

655
00:40:11,321 --> 00:40:13,323
I'm Dr. Fodor's assistant.

656
00:40:15,064 --> 00:40:17,502
I didn't mean to each other,
silly girl.

657
00:40:17,632 --> 00:40:20,026
Though by your reaction,
perhaps I touched

658
00:40:20,156 --> 00:40:22,811
on a subject
that's a wee bit sore.

659
00:40:22,942 --> 00:40:23,943
For God's sake.

660
00:40:24,073 --> 00:40:25,423
I meant are you married at all!

661
00:40:25,553 --> 00:40:27,294
You've a figure suitable
for birthin'.

662
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:28,426
Um...

663
00:40:28,556 --> 00:40:30,079
May I see your hand?

664
00:40:30,210 --> 00:40:31,385
Oh, gosh, yes.

665
00:40:31,516 --> 00:40:34,214
So, your love line...
Oh, here.

666
00:40:34,344 --> 00:40:35,781
All right, all right,
that's enough of that.

667
00:40:35,911 --> 00:40:37,522
They haven't come all this way
to hear you prattle on.

668
00:40:37,652 --> 00:40:38,610
I'm sorry.

669
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:41,047
And you must be Voirrey.

670
00:40:41,743 --> 00:40:43,397
Pleased to meet you,
Dr. Fodor.

671
00:40:43,528 --> 00:40:47,183
Dr. Price mentioned that you are
an accomplished ventriloquist.

672
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,012
Oh.

673
00:40:50,143 --> 00:40:52,450
I wouldn't consider
myself accomplished, sir.

674
00:40:53,189 --> 00:40:54,713
Self-taught, are we?

675
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,934
Yes, sir. Used to make my dolls
talk, when I was a girl.

676
00:40:59,065 --> 00:41:00,414
One day I scared
my friend, Saoirse,

677
00:41:00,545 --> 00:41:02,721
'cause she thought
they were really talkin'.

678
00:41:02,851 --> 00:41:03,939
Fascinating.

679
00:41:04,070 --> 00:41:05,941
Oh, this is my hand, Errol.

680
00:41:06,072 --> 00:41:08,553
He, uh, sees to the house,
tends the crops with me.

681
00:41:08,683 --> 00:41:10,119
He lives in the guest house.

682
00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:11,904
I'm honored to make your
acquaintance, Dr. Fodor.

683
00:41:12,034 --> 00:41:13,471
And I yours.

684
00:41:13,601 --> 00:41:15,124
And who are these?

685
00:41:15,255 --> 00:41:16,822
Ralph and Rolf.

686
00:41:16,952 --> 00:41:18,650
Which one is this?

687
00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:19,738
That's Rolf.

688
00:41:19,868 --> 00:41:21,479
Rolf?

689
00:41:23,045 --> 00:41:25,526
Well, thank you
for introducing us

690
00:41:25,657 --> 00:41:28,747
to your lovely family,
uh, Mr. Irving.

691
00:41:28,877 --> 00:41:31,097
We have, as you said,
traveled a great distance,

692
00:41:31,227 --> 00:41:32,838
in the hope that we might meet

693
00:41:32,968 --> 00:41:34,840
another member
of your household.

694
00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:37,538
Yes, of course,
you're here to see Gef.

695
00:41:37,669 --> 00:41:38,974
Indeed.

696
00:41:39,105 --> 00:41:41,499
Now, uh, is the creature here?
May we see him?

697
00:41:42,064 --> 00:41:43,805
Creature? Uh, well.

698
00:41:43,936 --> 00:41:46,286
Gef is always here,
you know, you might say.

699
00:41:46,416 --> 00:41:48,375
He's always about. Um...

700
00:41:49,463 --> 00:41:51,552
But he is not currently
in the house.

701
00:41:51,683 --> 00:41:55,121
At the moment.
He left about a week ago.

702
00:41:55,251 --> 00:41:57,079
Shortly after we informed him
you were comin' actually.

703
00:41:57,210 --> 00:41:59,821
He, um, he gets a bit upset,
you know, when we bring

704
00:41:59,952 --> 00:42:01,431
experts in to see him.

705
00:42:01,562 --> 00:42:03,129
Yeah, he sees it as an insult.

706
00:42:03,259 --> 00:42:04,739
He says he knows he exists,
so why's he got

707
00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:05,827
to prove it to anyone else?

708
00:42:05,958 --> 00:42:07,307
Ah.

709
00:42:07,437 --> 00:42:09,222
Nothin' to worry about,
you know, I assure you!

710
00:42:09,352 --> 00:42:11,920
As I said, Gef's always here,
this is his home.

711
00:42:12,051 --> 00:42:14,096
If I had to guess,
I would say the wee rascal's

712
00:42:14,227 --> 00:42:16,055
probably watchin' us right now.

713
00:42:16,185 --> 00:42:17,839
Yeah.

714
00:42:17,970 --> 00:42:19,014
Tryin' to get the measure of ya.

715
00:42:22,496 --> 00:42:24,150
No, but there's a cave,

716
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,630
about half a mile
up the mountain,

717
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,675
and often that
when he's not in the house

718
00:42:27,806 --> 00:42:29,329
that's where I'll find him.

719
00:42:29,459 --> 00:42:31,374
That's almost certain
where he's gonna be.

720
00:42:33,246 --> 00:42:35,074
Anyway, come inside
and have a cuppa tea.

721
00:42:35,204 --> 00:42:37,555
My wife's baked a raspberry
tart you've just got to taste.

722
00:42:37,685 --> 00:42:40,035
Oh, that sounds lovely.

723
00:42:40,166 --> 00:42:41,471
Come on. Come on.

724
00:43:03,058 --> 00:43:05,017
I've found that when Gef's not
here in the house with us,

725
00:43:05,147 --> 00:43:06,627
oftentimes he can be
found in a cave

726
00:43:06,758 --> 00:43:08,411
toward the top of the mountain.

727
00:43:08,542 --> 00:43:11,327
And I'd wager
that's where he is now.

728
00:43:11,458 --> 00:43:12,546
I see.

729
00:43:13,416 --> 00:43:14,766
A bit of a hike
to get there, though.

730
00:43:14,896 --> 00:43:16,289
You know, it's all uphill,

731
00:43:16,419 --> 00:43:17,638
the trail's a bit uneven.

732
00:43:18,334 --> 00:43:19,509
Doesn't bother Gef
much, I presume,

733
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,728
with his quick
little feet.

734
00:43:20,859 --> 00:43:22,034
But might prove a bit
more trying

735
00:43:22,164 --> 00:43:23,426
for our awkward
human paws.

736
00:43:25,515 --> 00:43:29,563
So... not here at the moment,
as we've determined.

737
00:43:30,869 --> 00:43:32,610
Don't know what else
to do with the day.

738
00:43:33,306 --> 00:43:34,481
Well...

739
00:43:35,264 --> 00:43:36,744
let's see that cave.

740
00:43:41,140 --> 00:43:43,664
Do you know how many breeds
of sheep there are in the world?

741
00:43:45,579 --> 00:43:47,929
I confess I do not.

742
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:49,452
Many thousands.

743
00:43:52,064 --> 00:43:53,587
Although only a rare few

744
00:43:53,718 --> 00:43:55,154
are what we call
"fine wool"

745
00:43:55,284 --> 00:43:56,808
but they're not
as common here.

746
00:43:56,938 --> 00:43:59,332
Although I've had a lot
of success with Rambouillet,

747
00:43:59,462 --> 00:44:01,769
although they generally
don't prefer the rain.

748
00:44:04,163 --> 00:44:05,381
Fascinating.

749
00:44:07,166 --> 00:44:08,515
What's fascinating?

750
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:09,821
Sheep.

751
00:44:09,951 --> 00:44:11,431
Oh. Oh.

752
00:44:22,442 --> 00:44:24,531
All right. Here we are.

753
00:44:24,662 --> 00:44:26,968
One of Gef's favorite
hiding spots.

754
00:44:28,317 --> 00:44:29,362
Gef!

755
00:44:30,450 --> 00:44:32,365
Gef! You in there, old boy?

756
00:44:32,495 --> 00:44:35,673
I got Dr. Fodor and his lovely
assistant here to see you.

757
00:44:36,282 --> 00:44:37,936
See, the cave goes in
a fair bit.

758
00:44:38,066 --> 00:44:39,981
Because he ain't answerin'
and we can't see him,

759
00:44:40,112 --> 00:44:41,809
doesn't mean he ain't here.

760
00:44:46,771 --> 00:44:48,990
You know, perhaps--
you don't have to, of course,

761
00:44:49,121 --> 00:44:52,254
but perhaps if you
announce yourself to him,

762
00:44:52,385 --> 00:44:55,127
just say there's absolutely
no doubt in your mind he's real

763
00:44:55,257 --> 00:44:57,520
and that might assuage
any concerns he may have,

764
00:44:57,651 --> 00:44:59,131
and convince him
to show himself.

765
00:45:01,133 --> 00:45:02,917
What exactly would you
like me to say?

766
00:45:03,048 --> 00:45:05,093
Just that.
Just tell him who you are,

767
00:45:05,224 --> 00:45:06,573
and that you're certain
he's real,

768
00:45:06,704 --> 00:45:07,879
and that you mean
no harm to him.

769
00:45:08,009 --> 00:45:09,315
Not here to
vivisect him or anything.

770
00:45:09,445 --> 00:45:10,969
Let's just say hello.

771
00:45:11,099 --> 00:45:12,622
- Hello?
- Hm.

772
00:45:12,753 --> 00:45:15,495
Hello. Very well.

773
00:45:23,155 --> 00:45:24,330
Hello.

774
00:45:25,897 --> 00:45:26,898
Hello, Gef.

775
00:45:28,769 --> 00:45:31,032
- Go on, go on.
- Right.

776
00:45:31,816 --> 00:45:34,470
My name is Dr. Nandor Fodor.

777
00:45:35,254 --> 00:45:36,603
And, um...

778
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:40,433
Mr. Irving has instructed me
to inform you

779
00:45:40,563 --> 00:45:44,654
that I believe that,
uh, you exist.

780
00:45:44,785 --> 00:45:46,134
And, uh...

781
00:45:48,049 --> 00:45:52,880
I would add that, um, if you are
currently residing in this cave,

782
00:45:53,011 --> 00:45:56,928
would you be amenable
to venturing out

783
00:45:57,058 --> 00:45:59,582
so that we may converse?

784
00:46:01,976 --> 00:46:04,239
I am very excited

785
00:46:04,370 --> 00:46:06,024
to make your acquaintance.

786
00:46:09,418 --> 00:46:10,593
- How was that?
- That was brilliant.

787
00:46:10,724 --> 00:46:11,986
- Really good.
- Brilliant.

788
00:46:12,117 --> 00:46:13,248
Yeah.

789
00:46:13,379 --> 00:46:15,076
You know, if he is in there,

790
00:46:15,207 --> 00:46:17,165
I've absolutely
no doubt in my mind

791
00:46:17,296 --> 00:46:18,340
that speech is certain
to draw him out.

792
00:46:18,471 --> 00:46:19,777
Really?

793
00:46:25,434 --> 00:46:27,785
Damn. Oh, damn.

794
00:46:28,698 --> 00:46:29,961
What?

795
00:46:30,091 --> 00:46:32,137
I'm truly sorry, Dr. Fodor.
I really am.

796
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:35,096
Appears our little friend
isn't here at the moment.

797
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,446
Perhaps he is in town.

798
00:46:37,577 --> 00:46:39,753
You know, probably slipped past
us as we were climbing up.

799
00:46:40,319 --> 00:46:41,929
Could be back at the house,
playing in Voirrey's room.

800
00:46:42,060 --> 00:46:43,235
He's got a little space there...

801
00:46:43,365 --> 00:46:45,063
Yeah, I know. I know.

802
00:46:45,193 --> 00:46:47,326
I did read Dr. Price's diary.

803
00:46:47,456 --> 00:46:48,806
Indeed. Well...

804
00:46:49,807 --> 00:46:52,331
Seeing as Gef isn't gonna
grace us with his presence,

805
00:46:52,897 --> 00:46:55,029
maybe we should venture
into the cave anyway?

806
00:46:57,597 --> 00:47:00,600
You see, one unfortunate
characteristic of Gef

807
00:47:00,730 --> 00:47:02,820
is that he can be a bit
of a thief at times.

808
00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:04,996
You know,
often we'll find this or that,

809
00:47:05,126 --> 00:47:07,563
trinket or bauble missing,
a trifle from the kitchen.

810
00:47:07,694 --> 00:47:09,783
Others in town have reported
similar incidents.

811
00:47:09,914 --> 00:47:11,045
Maybe...

812
00:47:11,524 --> 00:47:14,048
he has been ferreting away
some of his plunder here?

813
00:47:15,136 --> 00:47:16,268
Yeah.

814
00:47:17,312 --> 00:47:19,140
Please, after you.

815
00:47:20,141 --> 00:47:21,664
Well, I'll just leave
my bag here,

816
00:47:21,795 --> 00:47:24,232
because if you fall
I'll need my hands.

817
00:47:24,363 --> 00:47:25,407
Yes, you go first.

818
00:47:25,538 --> 00:47:27,105
- Be careful.
- Yes.

819
00:47:27,235 --> 00:47:29,542
Yes, yes, as I suspected.

820
00:47:30,238 --> 00:47:32,110
A veritable trove
of ill-gotten goods.

821
00:47:32,806 --> 00:47:34,112
Come on, come see.

822
00:47:34,590 --> 00:47:35,809
Oh, yeah.

823
00:47:37,028 --> 00:47:38,507
God.

824
00:47:38,638 --> 00:47:40,161
Yes, look at this.

825
00:47:42,903 --> 00:47:43,991
I would say...

826
00:47:45,166 --> 00:47:47,908
unquestionably,
that's Gef's as well.

827
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:50,128
Want to take that back to London
with you, for testing?

828
00:47:50,258 --> 00:47:51,694
Thank you, Mr. Irving.

829
00:47:51,825 --> 00:47:54,262
I'll make sure this gets
safely back to London.

830
00:47:54,393 --> 00:47:55,655
Yeah.

831
00:47:56,308 --> 00:47:59,267
I did once
see a mongoose in India, 1929.

832
00:47:59,398 --> 00:48:00,878
Oh, right. Did it talk?

833
00:48:08,668 --> 00:48:10,017
What are you laughing at?

834
00:48:10,931 --> 00:48:11,932
Nothing.

835
00:48:14,282 --> 00:48:17,329
Was there a pair of women's
undergarments back there?

836
00:48:23,378 --> 00:48:25,467
Look, from what I hear,
everybody on this island

837
00:48:25,598 --> 00:48:27,034
has their Gef story.

838
00:48:27,165 --> 00:48:29,428
An account of their encounter
with this creature.

839
00:48:29,558 --> 00:48:30,733
Tell me yours.

840
00:48:32,779 --> 00:48:35,434
- I got no Gef story.
- No?

841
00:48:35,913 --> 00:48:37,305
I find that incredible,

842
00:48:37,436 --> 00:48:39,829
considering you reside
on the Irving Farm.

843
00:48:42,310 --> 00:48:43,921
I got no Gef story.

844
00:48:45,139 --> 00:48:46,706
You and I both know...

845
00:48:48,316 --> 00:48:49,796
there ain't no Gef.

846
00:48:50,797 --> 00:48:52,016
What did you just say?

847
00:48:53,974 --> 00:48:55,367
What did you just say?

848
00:48:59,110 --> 00:49:01,199
Oh, golly. Oh golly, lemonade.

849
00:49:01,329 --> 00:49:02,852
Um, I'm going to need
to use the loo

850
00:49:02,983 --> 00:49:04,506
before we brave
that road again.

851
00:49:04,637 --> 00:49:06,508
Could you just...
Thank you.

852
00:49:08,336 --> 00:49:10,556
Just... Thank you!

853
00:49:14,952 --> 00:49:16,257
All right.

Oh. Hello, Ms. Anne.

864
00:49:58,821 --> 00:50:00,954
Hello, Voirrey.
Uh, sorry for the intrusion.

865
00:50:01,085 --> 00:50:04,305
I was just coming upstairs
and I heard you singing.

866
00:50:08,875 --> 00:50:09,919
May I come in?

867
00:50:17,057 --> 00:50:18,885
Gosh, you have such
a lovely room.

868
00:50:19,929 --> 00:50:22,149
That was Noel Coward, the song?

869
00:50:23,846 --> 00:50:25,239
You have a lovely voice.

870
00:50:26,110 --> 00:50:28,503
Thank you. So do you.

871
00:50:29,678 --> 00:50:31,985
Oh. Well, that's very kind
of you to say.

872
00:50:34,857 --> 00:50:38,470
Would you mind telling me
a bit more about your talent?

873
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:40,602
I could teach you if you like.

874
00:50:40,733 --> 00:50:42,387
It's quite simple, really.

875
00:50:42,952 --> 00:50:44,519
I'm not sure I'd be any good.

876
00:50:44,650 --> 00:50:45,999
It's quite simple.

877
00:50:47,479 --> 00:50:48,958
I promise.

878
00:50:49,089 --> 00:50:52,179
You... you just...
you just did it.

879
00:50:52,310 --> 00:50:53,876
That's incredible.

880
00:50:55,095 --> 00:50:57,924
Keep your mouth mostly closed.

881
00:50:58,055 --> 00:50:59,491
Your tongue loose.

882
00:50:59,621 --> 00:51:01,145
There are certain sounds
that are easier to make

883
00:51:01,275 --> 00:51:02,363
without moving your lips.

884
00:51:02,494 --> 00:51:03,538
Oh.

885
00:51:03,669 --> 00:51:04,713
Try it.

886
00:51:05,279 --> 00:51:06,454
Now?

887
00:51:06,585 --> 00:51:09,066
Now. Speak.

888
00:51:10,415 --> 00:51:11,590
Hello.

889
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:12,808
Hello.

890
00:51:12,939 --> 00:51:13,896
Hello.

891
00:51:15,768 --> 00:51:18,162
Yes. I should need a bit
more practice, I think.

892
00:51:18,292 --> 00:51:19,467
Indeed.

893
00:51:19,946 --> 00:51:21,991
The way you throw your voice?

894
00:51:22,731 --> 00:51:24,342
It's a marvel.

895
00:51:24,472 --> 00:51:25,778
It is.

896
00:51:26,735 --> 00:51:30,087
That is something I would be
very interested in learning.

897
00:51:30,217 --> 00:51:31,653
I could teach you the theory,
I think.

898
00:51:31,784 --> 00:51:33,960
But it requires a lot
of practice.

899
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:35,440
Oh, I'm sure.

900
00:51:37,006 --> 00:51:39,966
Humans can actually determine
from whence a sound comes.

901
00:51:40,575 --> 00:51:43,709
We hear it with our eyes
as much as we do our ears.

902
00:51:44,449 --> 00:51:48,017
Sound has no direction,
only modulation.

903
00:51:49,062 --> 00:51:51,673
Sounds that are further away
sound different...

904
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:53,284
than those nearby.

905
00:51:54,502 --> 00:51:59,551

Oh, I have no idea how.

00:52:29,972 --> 00:52:31,148
Just try.

913
00:52:32,714 --> 00:52:35,804

They're very kind people.

932
00:54:14,512 --> 00:54:16,601
Lunatics. The lot of them.

933
00:54:16,731 --> 00:54:18,646
Particularly the patriarch.

934
00:54:18,777 --> 00:54:21,823
I remain entirely mystified
as to their motives,

935
00:54:21,954 --> 00:54:26,350
but am certain that
this is an inexplicable farce.

936
00:54:27,916 --> 00:54:30,615
The only one among them
with any sense whatsoever

937
00:54:30,745 --> 00:54:33,052
would seem
to be their man, Errol.

938
00:54:34,053 --> 00:54:35,750
Well, I think they're all
very kind.

939
00:54:36,447 --> 00:54:37,491
There was...

940
00:54:39,319 --> 00:54:41,582
There was a pair
of undergarments

941
00:54:41,713 --> 00:54:43,236
in that cave today.

942
00:54:43,367 --> 00:54:44,716
Did you notice that?

943
00:54:45,630 --> 00:54:48,241
A woman's small clothes.

944
00:54:52,027 --> 00:54:54,508
Do you really think
there's no possible chance

945
00:54:54,639 --> 00:54:55,770
they're telling the truth?

946
00:54:56,554 --> 00:54:58,207
I beg your pardon.

947
00:54:58,338 --> 00:55:00,601
I know today was unusual.

948
00:55:01,167 --> 00:55:05,127
And I know that
the Irvings are unusual.

949
00:55:05,258 --> 00:55:08,000
This thought keeps going round
and round in my head.

950
00:55:08,130 --> 00:55:09,567
Why?

951
00:55:10,219 --> 00:55:12,700
If it is as you said
and it's all a great charade,

952
00:55:12,831 --> 00:55:15,486
then what is
the Irvings' motive?

953
00:55:16,530 --> 00:55:19,925
Ere the arrival of Gef--At the alleged arrival!

954
00:55:20,055 --> 00:55:22,144
Ere the alleged incident,

955
00:55:23,232 --> 00:55:26,061
the Irvings were
a well-to-do family,

956
00:55:26,192 --> 00:55:30,370
they've a pristine reputation
they're financially secure.

957
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:32,546
Didn't strike me as con artists.

958
00:55:34,243 --> 00:55:36,245
If they were charging
admission, perhaps.

959
00:55:38,857 --> 00:55:41,860
Do you really have
no theories whatsoever?

960
00:55:41,990 --> 00:55:43,862
Now that you've met them.

961
00:55:43,992 --> 00:55:48,040
If it were an individual person
suffering from these delusions--

962
00:55:48,170 --> 00:55:51,304
if it were just Mr. Irving
espousing the existence

963
00:55:51,435 --> 00:55:53,219
of this creature
at the behest of his family

964
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:56,091
and the townspeople,
then perhaps I could formulate

965
00:55:56,222 --> 00:55:58,137
a thorough
psychological evaluation.

966
00:55:58,267 --> 00:56:01,401
But the fact that
it is the entire family,

967
00:56:01,532 --> 00:56:03,708
the entire town,
it would seem...

968
00:56:04,709 --> 00:56:07,320
So you think it is some
sort of mass hysteria?

969
00:56:09,975 --> 00:56:12,107
And you do not believe,

970
00:56:13,457 --> 00:56:15,502
it is in the realm
of possibility

971
00:56:15,633 --> 00:56:18,723
that the Irvings are telling
the truth and that Gef is real?

972
00:56:20,072 --> 00:56:21,465
Do you?

973
00:56:32,563 --> 00:56:33,564
Anne?

974
00:56:34,434 --> 00:56:35,957
Is everything...

975
00:56:36,741 --> 00:56:38,873
Sorry to disturb you
so late, sir.

976
00:56:39,787 --> 00:56:41,398
But there's a call for you.

977
00:56:43,008 --> 00:56:44,270
A call?

978
00:56:47,795 --> 00:56:49,188
At this hour?

979
00:56:49,318 --> 00:56:50,363
From whom?

980
00:56:50,494 --> 00:56:51,843
Is it from America?

981
00:56:53,148 --> 00:56:55,107
Not from America, sir.

982
00:56:55,237 --> 00:56:56,804
The call...

983
00:56:57,892 --> 00:56:59,067
it is from...

984
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:02,244
him.

985
00:57:17,869 --> 00:57:19,131
Hello.

986
00:57:22,787 --> 00:57:25,442
Hello, this is Dr. Nandor Fodor.

987
00:57:29,489 --> 00:57:30,708
There does not appear
to be anyone

988
00:57:30,838 --> 00:57:32,753
on the other end of the line.

989
00:57:32,884 --> 00:57:34,842
<i>Dr. Fodor...</i> Yes.

990
00:57:34,973 --> 00:57:38,672
Yes. Hello. Uh...
with whom am I speaking, please?

991
00:57:38,803 --> 00:57:40,413
<i>I am a freak!</i>

992
00:57:40,544 --> 00:57:42,371
<i>I have hands and I have feet!</i>

993
00:57:42,502 --> 00:57:44,852
<i>And if you ever saw me,
you would be paralyzed,</i>

994
00:57:44,983 --> 00:57:48,900
<i>petrified, mummified,
and turned to a pillar of salt!</i>

995
00:57:49,030 --> 00:57:50,205
All right.

996
00:57:50,336 --> 00:57:52,077
<i>I am the fifth dimension!</i>

997
00:57:52,207 --> 00:57:54,427
<i>I am the eighth wonder
of the world.</i>

998
00:57:54,558 --> 00:57:56,342
<i>I can split an atom.</i>

999
00:57:56,473 --> 00:57:57,865
Uh, yes. Uh...

1000
00:57:57,996 --> 00:58:00,172
Gef, is-is that you?

1001
00:58:00,302 --> 00:58:02,348
<i>I am the Holy Ghost!</i>

1002
00:58:03,262 --> 00:58:05,656
Yes, that-that-that
is wonderful.

1003
00:58:05,786 --> 00:58:11,052
Uh, Gef, I went today
with Mr. Irving to a cave

1004
00:58:11,183 --> 00:58:14,752
where you have, uh, previously
been observed and, uh...

1005
00:58:15,317 --> 00:58:17,798
well, had you been there, you
would have heard me proclaim,

1006
00:58:17,929 --> 00:58:23,064
in no uncertain terms,
my sincere belief in your...

1007
00:58:24,196 --> 00:58:26,372
uh, well, existence.

1008
00:58:29,593 --> 00:58:32,465
Um, and so I suppose
I should say,

1009
00:58:32,596 --> 00:58:35,033
I would very much like
to meet you in person,

1010
00:58:35,163 --> 00:58:37,252
if you were so inclined.

1011
00:58:37,383 --> 00:58:41,866
Um, I promise you,
I have no malicious intentions

1012
00:58:41,996 --> 00:58:43,650
towards you whatsoever.

1013
00:58:46,174 --> 00:58:48,960
<i>I shall never see you again.</i>

1014
00:58:49,090 --> 00:58:50,352
Again?

1015
00:58:52,093 --> 00:58:55,444
Did-did you see me today
at-the-at the cave?

1016
00:59:00,928 --> 00:59:02,408
<i>Your father.</i>

1017
00:59:06,368 --> 00:59:07,544
What about him?

1018
00:59:10,590 --> 00:59:12,766
<i>Hm. That's what
your father said to you.</i>

1019
00:59:12,897 --> 00:59:14,463
<i>Before you left.</i>

1020
00:59:14,594 --> 00:59:17,423
<i>I shall never see you again.</i>

1021
00:59:21,906 --> 00:59:22,950
What?

1022
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:26,737
<i>Tomorrow.</i>

1023
00:59:26,867 --> 00:59:32,046
<i>Tomorrow I shall let you
see me.</i>

1024
00:59:33,831 --> 00:59:36,094
How could you know
that about my father?

1025
00:59:38,792 --> 00:59:39,924
Hello?

1026
01:00:12,478 --> 01:00:16,003
I am-- I mean, was
something of a public figure

1027
01:00:16,134 --> 01:00:21,400
and some scientific
and pseudo-scientific journals

1028
01:00:21,530 --> 01:00:23,881
have published articles
about me, haven't they?

1029
01:00:24,011 --> 01:00:25,709
And...

1030
01:00:25,839 --> 01:00:27,188
theoretically, if you wish

1031
01:00:27,319 --> 01:00:29,364
to discover certain facts
about my life,

1032
01:00:29,495 --> 01:00:32,106
how I left Budapest
for New York,

1033
01:00:32,237 --> 01:00:34,108
and then, surmise how...

1034
01:00:34,239 --> 01:00:36,937
a-a certain conversation
may have gone.

1035
01:01:01,658 --> 01:01:03,964
Fine morning to the both of you!
I trust you slept soundly?

1036
01:01:04,095 --> 01:01:05,009
Yes. Thank you.

1037
01:01:05,139 --> 01:01:06,271
No.

1038
01:01:07,272 --> 01:01:08,447
Oh.

1039
01:01:14,932 --> 01:01:17,369
I'll admit I was very surprised,
waking to hear

1040
01:01:17,499 --> 01:01:20,067
the news that Gef had extended
an invitation to you personally!

1041
01:01:20,198 --> 01:01:22,200
What? He called
you on the phone, did he?

1042
01:01:22,896 --> 01:01:25,507
Someone called me last night. Yes.

1043
01:01:25,638 --> 01:01:27,379
I wonder whose telephone
he accosted for that purpose,

1044
01:01:27,509 --> 01:01:28,641
the wee devil.

1045
01:01:28,772 --> 01:01:30,164
The Guileys, I'd wager.

1046
01:01:30,295 --> 01:01:31,426
They've got an old
candlestick phone

1047
01:01:31,557 --> 01:01:33,385
right next to the window
in their foyer.

1048
01:01:33,515 --> 01:01:35,866
It would've been easy for him
to slip in and dial you.

1049
01:01:35,996 --> 01:01:37,519
He's got such
nimble little fingers.

1050
01:01:37,650 --> 01:01:39,173
Does he now?

1051
01:01:49,967 --> 01:01:51,577
Hmm. Hmm.

1052
01:01:52,839 --> 01:01:53,840
Hmm.

1053
01:01:56,364 --> 01:01:57,888
Here we are.

1054
01:01:58,018 --> 01:01:59,803
Hmm.
Thank you, love.

1055
01:02:01,239 --> 01:02:03,720
Uh, will Voirrey
be joining us today?

1056
01:02:03,850 --> 01:02:07,680
I-I'm afraid she's not
feeling well, poor girl.

1057
01:02:07,811 --> 01:02:09,595
She's got a mild allergy
to ragwort,

1058
01:02:09,726 --> 01:02:12,076
if you can believe that.

1059
01:02:12,206 --> 01:02:15,122
So summers can be a bit...

1060
01:02:15,732 --> 01:02:17,168
I see.

1061
01:02:19,300 --> 01:02:21,215
Oh! I nearly forgot!

1062
01:02:34,533 --> 01:02:38,102
<i>Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science.</i>

1063
01:02:38,232 --> 01:02:39,886
What a mouthful!

1064
01:02:40,017 --> 01:02:41,975
It arrived at
Pavel's yesterday,

1065
01:02:42,106 --> 01:02:44,412
shortly before
their usual closing time.

1066
01:02:44,543 --> 01:02:47,546
But they waited for me
to rush over and pick it up.

1067
01:02:48,547 --> 01:02:50,941
I can't wait to read it!

1068
01:02:51,419 --> 01:02:54,118
I'll give you my honest
thoughts, when I've finished.

1069
01:02:55,815 --> 01:02:57,164
Yesterday, you say.

1070
01:02:58,862 --> 01:03:01,255
Well, I, uh,
I hope you enjoy it.

1071
01:03:02,213 --> 01:03:04,519
"The only comprehensive survey

1072
01:03:04,650 --> 01:03:07,827
of every kind of psychical
phenomena known to mankind".

1073
01:03:10,090 --> 01:03:13,093
Well, I presume
Gef's not in it.

1074
01:03:13,790 --> 01:03:16,357
So you'll have to write
a sequel after today.

1075
01:03:23,277 --> 01:03:25,497
Looks like you weren't the only
one Gef called last night!

1076
01:03:33,635 --> 01:03:35,159
Well, it's, uh...

1077
01:03:35,289 --> 01:03:37,161
It's a pleasure to receive
so many of you here today.

1078
01:03:37,291 --> 01:03:39,206
I hope you'll excuse
my not having provided

1079
01:03:39,337 --> 01:03:40,947
adequate refreshments
for the occasion.

1080
01:03:41,078 --> 01:03:43,036
And, had my wife and I known
so many of you were comin',

1081
01:03:43,167 --> 01:03:44,951
we'd have tea and biscuits
for the lot of ya.

1082
01:03:45,082 --> 01:03:47,345
Gef failed to inform us
he had spoken to so many of you.

1083
01:03:48,302 --> 01:03:49,695
Called me in the dead
of night, he did!

1084
01:03:50,348 --> 01:03:52,089
Asked after sister
and her drinkin'.

1085
01:03:52,219 --> 01:03:54,265
How in the bloody hell
did he know about that?

1086
01:03:55,570 --> 01:03:57,137
Called me Candy.

1087
01:03:57,268 --> 01:03:59,313
Nobody's called me that
since me grandma

1088
01:03:59,444 --> 01:04:00,967
passed on 20 years ago!

1089
01:04:01,098 --> 01:04:03,100
Yes! Yes, I know
we're all very excited!

1090
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:05,972
But please, please.
Now as I was saying...

1091
01:04:06,103 --> 01:04:07,844
We've got guests who've
traveled a great distance

1092
01:04:07,974 --> 01:04:11,021
in order to investigate
our friend Gef.

1093
01:04:11,630 --> 01:04:14,763
That's Dr. Nandor Fodor
and his assistant, Anne.

1094
01:04:14,894 --> 01:04:17,636
Now, Dr. Fodor is one
of the world's leading experts

1095
01:04:17,766 --> 01:04:19,899
in the field of the paranormal.

1096
01:04:20,030 --> 01:04:23,860
A term I think we can all agree,
aptly describes our friend Gef.

1097
01:04:24,817 --> 01:04:26,210
Now as we all know,

1098
01:04:26,340 --> 01:04:28,081
Gef can be a bit
of a skittish fellow at times.

1099
01:04:28,212 --> 01:04:29,735
I mean,
I was genuinely surprised

1100
01:04:29,866 --> 01:04:31,955
he was open to this viewing. So...

1101
01:04:32,085 --> 01:04:34,783
Unfortunately,
it is all gonna be a bit brief.

1102
01:04:34,914 --> 01:04:36,611
While I'd like you all
to be able to talk,

1103
01:04:36,742 --> 01:04:38,309
you know,
if we all start shouting

1104
01:04:38,439 --> 01:04:41,268
he's just gonna get
agitated and run off. So...

1105
01:04:41,399 --> 01:04:43,444
Do I have your agreement
from the lot of you

1106
01:04:43,575 --> 01:04:46,186
that you're gonna do your best
to remain calm?

1107
01:04:46,317 --> 01:04:47,318
Yes.

1108
01:04:47,448 --> 01:04:48,841
- Yeah.
- Really?

1109
01:04:48,972 --> 01:04:50,016
Well, yeah.

1110
01:04:50,147 --> 01:04:51,104
Yeah.

1111
01:04:51,235 --> 01:04:52,932
Right then.

1112
01:04:53,063 --> 01:04:54,194
This way, please.

1113
01:05:09,470 --> 01:05:11,385
Right.
Just take a step back, please.

1114
01:05:11,951 --> 01:05:13,605
It's a bit dark in here,
isn't it?

1115
01:05:13,735 --> 01:05:16,216
Now, we're gonna
take back the sheet.

1116
01:05:16,347 --> 01:05:17,522
But I think it's only fair

1117
01:05:17,652 --> 01:05:18,784
that we allow
our distinguished guests

1118
01:05:18,915 --> 01:05:20,046
to be the first to address Gef.

1119
01:05:21,830 --> 01:05:23,049
Go on.

1120
01:05:30,752 --> 01:05:33,799
Is-is that him?
There? In the box?

1121
01:05:33,930 --> 01:05:35,888
That little...
little tuft of fur?

1122
01:05:36,019 --> 01:05:37,934
Looks like he's bein'
a bit shy after all.

1123
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,112
Well, can you tell him
to come out so we can see him?

1124
01:05:42,242 --> 01:05:45,680
Can you tell him
to come out so we can see him?

1125
01:05:47,856 --> 01:05:50,685
Ask him your question now,
before he has a change of heart.

1126
01:05:50,816 --> 01:05:55,212
Uh, yes, Gef. Hello. Thank you
for letting us meet you in...

1127
01:05:56,213 --> 01:05:57,649
person at last.

1128
01:05:57,779 --> 01:06:00,782
Um, Mr. Irving said that
we could ask you a question.

1129
01:06:00,913 --> 01:06:02,393
Is-is that all right?

1130
01:06:02,523 --> 01:06:04,961
Hmm... yes.

1131
01:06:06,092 --> 01:06:08,703
Right.
When we spoke on the telephone

1132
01:06:08,834 --> 01:06:11,184
the other night, uh,
you said something.

1133
01:06:11,315 --> 01:06:13,491
You repeated something
that my father said to me

1134
01:06:13,621 --> 01:06:15,493
a long time ago.

1135
01:06:15,623 --> 01:06:18,322
Um, how did you know
that he said those words?

1136
01:06:18,452 --> 01:06:22,630
How did you know that he told me
he would never see me again?

1137
01:06:22,761 --> 01:06:26,939
I have seen beyond
the bounds of infinity

1138
01:06:27,070 --> 01:06:30,595
and drawn down
demons from the stars.

1139
01:06:30,725 --> 01:06:35,556
I have harnessed the shadows
that stride from world to world

1140
01:06:35,687 --> 01:06:41,475
to sow death and madness.

1141
01:06:42,476 --> 01:06:43,869
Come on,
get him outside.

1142
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,131
Let's give him some air.

1143
01:06:45,262 --> 01:06:47,264
This may be a bullshit.
Take a look.

1144
01:06:49,657 --> 01:06:51,442
I am-- I am deeply sorry,
Dr. Fodor.

1145
01:06:51,572 --> 01:06:53,444
All the commotion
will have scared poor Gef off.

1146
01:06:53,574 --> 01:06:56,795
But as I said to you before,
he always returns, in time.

1147
01:07:16,336 --> 01:07:18,251
You have been here all along.

1148
01:07:19,948 --> 01:07:22,386
You know that
this is a great farce.

1149
01:07:23,648 --> 01:07:26,694
You know that
these people are mad.

1150
01:07:27,956 --> 01:07:29,784
And yet you do nothing.

1151
01:07:29,915 --> 01:07:31,308
You indulge them.

1152
01:07:32,135 --> 01:07:33,179
So do you.

1153
01:07:34,354 --> 01:07:37,488
I am here in the name
of scientific research.

1154
01:07:37,618 --> 01:07:38,706
If you say so.

1155
01:07:40,665 --> 01:07:42,536
None of this bothers you.

1156
01:07:42,667 --> 01:07:44,799
These people obsessed
with an entity that they cannot

1157
01:07:44,930 --> 01:07:46,671
even reliably prove is real.

1158
01:07:46,801 --> 01:07:49,717
That it is adults
perpetuating this nonsense.

1159
01:07:49,848 --> 01:07:52,416
Men and women who are,
for all intents and purposes,

1160
01:07:52,546 --> 01:07:54,983
ordinary, functioning
members of society.

1161
01:07:56,072 --> 01:07:57,551
Why do you care so much?

1162
01:07:58,944 --> 01:08:01,903
It is my job to care.
To understand.

1163
01:08:04,036 --> 01:08:07,953
All anyone wants in this
world... is to be happy.

1164
01:08:09,476 --> 01:08:10,912
Maybe you'd be happy
if you let people believe

1165
01:08:11,043 --> 01:08:12,392
what they want to believe.

1166
01:08:13,959 --> 01:08:17,832
Your perspective is endearing
but childishly simplistic.

1167
01:08:18,311 --> 01:08:22,315
Who in this world
is happier than a child, hmm?

1168
01:08:23,490 --> 01:08:24,535
Maybe...

1169
01:08:25,753 --> 01:08:28,104
simple ain't so bad, eh?

1170
01:08:28,234 --> 01:08:30,323
But these people are lying!

1171
01:08:30,454 --> 01:08:31,716
Oh, everyone lies.

1172
01:08:31,846 --> 01:08:33,065
They are intentionally,

1173
01:08:33,196 --> 01:08:35,763
inexplicably misleading others!

1174
01:08:36,503 --> 01:08:38,114
People love that mongoose.

1175
01:08:38,244 --> 01:08:39,811
The one that does not exist.

1176
01:08:40,551 --> 01:08:42,161
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1177
01:08:44,859 --> 01:08:47,775
Well, I intend to expose
that they're lying.

1178
01:08:49,429 --> 01:08:50,474
Okay.

1179
01:08:55,261 --> 01:08:57,307
You must be
a lot of fun at parties.

1180
01:08:57,437 --> 01:08:58,482
Excuse me?

1181
01:09:01,659 --> 01:09:05,053
I am invited to and attend
many parties.

1182
01:09:05,184 --> 01:09:06,881
More than you,
I would wager!

1183
01:09:07,012 --> 01:09:10,624
And I have many interesting
conversations at these parties!

1184
01:09:10,755 --> 01:09:12,931
Enlightening,
entertaining discussions

1185
01:09:13,061 --> 01:09:14,802
with people
from every field of study

1186
01:09:14,933 --> 01:09:16,064
and strata of society.

1187
01:09:16,195 --> 01:09:17,457
Yeah.

1188
01:09:17,936 --> 01:09:20,068
When you walk away,
they call you an asshole.

1189
01:09:24,638 --> 01:09:25,813
Asshole.

1190
01:09:31,776 --> 01:09:33,647
Whereby,
I previously stated

1191
01:09:33,778 --> 01:09:35,258
that the housekeeper, Errol,

1192
01:09:35,388 --> 01:09:37,260
was the only person
at the Irving estate

1193
01:09:37,390 --> 01:09:40,045
with even an ounce of sense...

1194
01:09:40,176 --> 01:09:42,395
I rescind that statement now.

1195
01:09:42,526 --> 01:09:45,268
I believe he may be
the craziest of them all.

1196
01:09:46,007 --> 01:09:48,401
"Why do you care so much?"

1197
01:09:48,532 --> 01:09:50,142
he had the gall to ask me.

1198
01:09:51,926 --> 01:09:55,582
With casual disregard
for my almost 20 years

1199
01:09:55,713 --> 01:09:57,410
of research in this field.

1200
01:09:58,063 --> 01:09:59,673
Research which, I may say,

1201
01:09:59,804 --> 01:10:02,198
has proven invaluable to many.

1202
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,727
"Let people believe what
they want to believe."

1203
01:10:09,857 --> 01:10:12,860
That doesn't seem like
the worst advice in the world.

1204
01:10:16,255 --> 01:10:18,039
Should I have remained a lawyer?

1205
01:10:18,866 --> 01:10:21,042
You always said
you hated practicing law.

1206
01:10:21,173 --> 01:10:22,261
I did.

1207
01:10:22,914 --> 01:10:24,350
My father...

1208
01:10:24,481 --> 01:10:27,440
his dream was that I remain
in Budapest

1209
01:10:27,571 --> 01:10:29,225
and marry Hanna Varga.

1210
01:10:31,139 --> 01:10:33,185
A simple life.

1211
01:10:35,231 --> 01:10:36,797
Would that have made you happy?

1212
01:10:37,972 --> 01:10:39,017
No.

1213
01:10:41,106 --> 01:10:43,108
But I might still be
with my father now

1214
01:10:43,239 --> 01:10:46,764
and not on this accursed island
chasing an imaginary mongoose.

1215
01:10:52,204 --> 01:10:53,945
He's not imaginary.

1216
01:10:56,208 --> 01:10:57,253
I'm sorry. What?

1217
01:10:58,819 --> 01:11:00,038
Gef.

1218
01:11:00,908 --> 01:11:02,954
I think he not only exists,

1219
01:11:03,084 --> 01:11:04,782
much as the Irvings
have described him,

1220
01:11:04,912 --> 01:11:06,479
but I'm certain of it.

1221
01:11:06,610 --> 01:11:08,220
You're certain of it?

1222
01:11:21,277 --> 01:11:24,018
You had better
not fucking be serious.

1223
01:11:25,324 --> 01:11:26,673
Good night, Nandor.

1224
01:11:26,804 --> 01:11:28,501
It's Dr. Fodor!

1225
01:11:29,502 --> 01:11:30,851
And good night!

1226
01:11:39,469 --> 01:11:41,122
Maurice!

1227
01:11:43,081 --> 01:11:44,300
Dr. Fodor.

1228
01:11:46,214 --> 01:11:49,740
I have just received a call
from the Irving family.

1229
01:11:52,482 --> 01:11:53,831
I see.

1230
01:11:53,961 --> 01:11:56,050
And they have requested that I

1231
01:11:56,181 --> 01:12:00,707
come up to the-- to perform
some further investigation,

1232
01:12:00,838 --> 01:12:02,622
at their residence.

1233
01:12:02,753 --> 01:12:06,452
So I will need you
to drive me up to the farm.

1234
01:12:07,018 --> 01:12:08,976
It's a bit late, isn't it?

1235
01:12:09,107 --> 01:12:14,286
Hmm. Oh, and I will need
to borrow this.

1236
01:12:26,864 --> 01:12:27,908
Gef!

1237
01:12:29,345 --> 01:12:30,911
Are you here, Gef?

1238
01:12:33,349 --> 01:12:35,786
Gef! It's your friend,
Dr. Fodor!

1239
01:12:37,701 --> 01:12:40,573
I'd just love to speak
with you for a moment.

1240
01:12:42,488 --> 01:12:44,925
I'll let you steal
my underpants!

1241
01:12:45,056 --> 01:12:46,318
Dr. Fodor?

1242
01:12:47,972 --> 01:12:50,975
Is everything all right?[Dr. Fodor] Ah!

1243
01:12:51,628 --> 01:12:54,021
Feeling better,
are we, Voirrey?

1244
01:12:54,152 --> 01:12:55,849
You know, I must confess,
we weren't expecting

1245
01:12:55,980 --> 01:12:57,895
another visit from you
this evening.

1246
01:12:58,983 --> 01:13:00,332
Where is Gef?

1247
01:13:00,463 --> 01:13:01,899
He's not here at the moment.

1248
01:13:02,029 --> 01:13:03,640
I'm afraid today's excitement
scared him off.

1249
01:13:03,770 --> 01:13:05,772
But if you return tomorrow
at a reasonable hour...

1250
01:13:05,903 --> 01:13:08,209
- Gef!
- Dr. Fodor! Please!

1251
01:13:08,340 --> 01:13:12,649
I need... I need to come inside
for some further investigation.

1252
01:13:12,779 --> 01:13:14,912
I don't think that's a good idea
to allow you in our home

1253
01:13:15,042 --> 01:13:17,044
at this time,
in your condition.

1254
01:13:17,175 --> 01:13:18,568
Oh, in my condition?

1255
01:13:18,698 --> 01:13:19,960
Hmm.

1256
01:13:20,091 --> 01:13:22,310
Well, very well.
If you will not let me in,

1257
01:13:22,441 --> 01:13:26,010
I will conduct my own
investigation out here.

1258
01:13:26,140 --> 01:13:27,272
Gef!

1259
01:13:30,797 --> 01:13:32,799
I'm going to check
the barn.

1260
01:13:35,062 --> 01:13:36,412
Go and alert
the constable.

1261
01:13:36,542 --> 01:13:38,239
Dr. Fodor!

1262
01:13:38,370 --> 01:13:39,980
I've instructed Margaret
to go and alert the constable.

1263
01:13:40,111 --> 01:13:41,982
Now I would advise you

1264
01:13:42,113 --> 01:13:43,941
to accompany Maurice
back to his car,

1265
01:13:44,071 --> 01:13:45,333
and he can take you
back to your inn,

1266
01:13:45,464 --> 01:13:47,597
where you can
sleep this off.

1267
01:13:55,126 --> 01:13:56,344
Oh, Gef!

1268
01:13:57,781 --> 01:13:59,086
Little Geffer?

1269
01:14:02,002 --> 01:14:03,351
I want to talk to you!

1270
01:14:04,962 --> 01:14:06,877
We can talk more
about my father!

1271
01:14:08,835 --> 01:14:11,403
I'll-- I'll give you
a signed copy of my book!

1272
01:14:11,925 --> 01:14:13,231
Dr. Fodor! No!

1273
01:14:20,281 --> 01:14:22,109
Apologies, my friend.

1274
01:14:38,474 --> 01:14:41,259
Ah. Ow.

1275
01:14:41,955 --> 01:14:42,913
Ah.

1276
01:14:49,485 --> 01:14:50,703
Hello?

1277
01:14:51,791 --> 01:14:52,792
Hello!

1278
01:14:54,620 --> 01:14:58,276
Sounds like someone got
a bit hammered this evening.

1279
01:15:01,018 --> 01:15:06,110
Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie.
Where do we go after we die?

1280
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,328
Who's there?

1281
01:15:10,549 --> 01:15:12,246
If only you were little like me,

1282
01:15:12,377 --> 01:15:15,641
you could squeeze between
these bars and be free!

1283
01:15:21,081 --> 01:15:22,430
This is madness.

1284
01:15:25,825 --> 01:15:27,871
Gef, is it?

1285
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,486
I refuse to participate
in this...

1286
01:15:35,487 --> 01:15:37,358
farce any longer.

1287
01:15:38,664 --> 01:15:39,665
Hello?

1288
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:41,841
Hello!

1289
01:15:43,495 --> 01:15:45,628
I require the use
of a telephone,

1290
01:15:45,758 --> 01:15:49,066
so I may call my assistant
to arrange my release.

1291
01:15:51,111 --> 01:15:53,984
I have an account at
the, uh, Abbey Bank in London,

1292
01:15:54,114 --> 01:15:57,553
if I am required
to post some kind of bond.

1293
01:15:59,903 --> 01:16:01,469
Or, if you would prefer,

1294
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:06,518
my attorney is Marlon Sandersen,
Esquire, in New York City.

1295
01:16:06,649 --> 01:16:08,955
I can assure you
I will be placing a call to him

1296
01:16:09,086 --> 01:16:11,436
if I am not released immediately.

1297
01:16:16,572 --> 01:16:19,096
Right, right. So be it.

1298
01:16:23,491 --> 01:16:24,623
Damn you!

1299
01:16:25,232 --> 01:16:26,538
Whoever you are!

1300
01:16:26,669 --> 01:16:28,714
How did you know
what my father said to me?

1301
01:16:30,324 --> 01:16:32,022
Did-did-did you read my book?

1302
01:16:33,937 --> 01:16:36,548
What-what do you hope
to gain...

1303
01:16:36,679 --> 01:16:37,854
from this...

1304
01:16:37,984 --> 01:16:39,682
insanity?

1305
01:16:39,812 --> 01:16:44,164
Is it-is it some kind of...
financial incentive? Or...

1306
01:16:44,861 --> 01:16:46,819
do you just crave attention?

1307
01:16:48,386 --> 01:16:50,954
That's it. That's it, isn't it?
It's...

1308
01:16:52,172 --> 01:16:54,044
Well, then show yourself!

1309
01:16:54,174 --> 01:16:57,351
If you are able to squeeze
through these bars,

1310
01:16:57,482 --> 01:16:59,223
like you say,
then step into the corridor

1311
01:16:59,353 --> 01:17:00,659
and let me look at you!

1312
01:17:00,790 --> 01:17:03,357
Let me get
a good look at you, Gef!

1313
01:17:08,580 --> 01:17:11,801
I intend to publish an article

1314
01:17:12,584 --> 01:17:15,892
about this entire incident
on my return to London.

1315
01:17:16,414 --> 01:17:17,676
And...

1316
01:17:17,807 --> 01:17:19,417
the tone of that article,

1317
01:17:19,547 --> 01:17:21,549
the way in which I portray you

1318
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,205
and the Irving family
and this entire accursed island

1319
01:17:25,336 --> 01:17:27,381
shall be determined
by this moment

1320
01:17:27,512 --> 01:17:29,949
and whether or not
you let me look upon you.

1321
01:17:39,002 --> 01:17:40,220
Please!

1322
01:17:42,135 --> 01:17:44,311
What if there
is nothing after this?

1323
01:17:44,442 --> 01:17:47,880
No Heaven, no Hell.
Just nothing.

1324
01:17:48,011 --> 01:17:52,406
No awareness of the fact
that we were ever aware at all.

1325
01:17:52,537 --> 01:17:55,409
Stop it! Please!

1326
01:17:57,847 --> 01:17:59,805
Just show yourself.

1327
01:18:00,719 --> 01:18:03,113
Just for a moment, please. Just...

1328
01:18:04,201 --> 01:18:06,420
Just show me that you're real.

1329
01:18:06,551 --> 01:18:10,207
Just a-a-a tuft
of your little tail.

1330
01:18:13,645 --> 01:18:17,649
W-Wait!
What if you scratch my arm?

1331
01:18:17,780 --> 01:18:20,957
With your claws,
just a little scratch. Please.

1332
01:18:21,522 --> 01:18:23,655
Please, I'm begging you.
Just a little scratch,

1333
01:18:23,786 --> 01:18:25,657
with your little claws.

1334
01:18:25,788 --> 01:18:28,399
I don't want to hurt you.

1335
01:18:28,529 --> 01:18:30,749
Even though you want to hurt me.

1336
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:32,185
I don't!

1337
01:18:32,316 --> 01:18:34,057
I don't want to hurt you.

1338
01:18:34,187 --> 01:18:35,623
What do you mean?

1339
01:18:36,233 --> 01:18:38,278
I mean you no harm.

1340
01:18:38,409 --> 01:18:41,238
And I don't mind. Really. Just--

1341
01:18:41,368 --> 01:18:44,023
I'm asking, I am begging you, please.

1342
01:18:44,154 --> 01:18:47,157
Just scratch my arm, there.
Just on the wrist.

1343
01:18:47,940 --> 01:18:49,942
Ow! Ow!

1344
01:19:05,044 --> 01:19:06,132
Thank you.

1345
01:19:09,309 --> 01:19:10,789
You all right?

1346
01:19:13,661 --> 01:19:16,099
Yeah.
I think it is time

1347
01:19:16,229 --> 01:19:18,754
that I returned to London.

1348
01:19:59,142 --> 01:20:01,579
After careful consideration,

1349
01:20:01,709 --> 01:20:03,537
I've decided that upon
returning to London,

1350
01:20:03,668 --> 01:20:06,366
I will be tending my resignation
as your assistant.

1351
01:20:08,673 --> 01:20:10,283
Because of the mongoose.

1352
01:20:10,414 --> 01:20:11,676
Yes.

1353
01:20:13,765 --> 01:20:15,506
And because I am unhappy.

1354
01:20:19,902 --> 01:20:21,338
So am I.

1355
01:20:27,648 --> 01:20:31,870
I will offer my wholehearted recommendation

1356
01:20:32,001 --> 01:20:34,786
to any future
prospective employers

1357
01:20:34,917 --> 01:20:37,702
should they contact me
regarding you.

1358
01:20:37,833 --> 01:20:39,443
Thank you.

1359
01:20:39,573 --> 01:20:40,923
And...

1360
01:20:43,621 --> 01:20:44,840
I will miss you.

1361
01:20:47,712 --> 01:20:49,801
I will miss you too, Nandor.

1362
01:20:51,281 --> 01:20:53,196
Well, then don't leave.

1363
01:20:53,326 --> 01:20:56,025
I have already decided.

1364
01:20:56,155 --> 01:20:58,549
Well, then undecide.

1365
01:21:03,815 --> 01:21:06,600
Do you really, really, really
want me to stay?

1366
01:21:07,819 --> 01:21:11,083
I would be utterly lost
without you.

1367
01:21:17,698 --> 01:21:18,743
Well...

1368
01:21:21,093 --> 01:21:22,834
Were I to consider staying,

1369
01:21:25,315 --> 01:21:28,318
I should require a raise in pay
by a dollar an hour.

1370
01:21:29,145 --> 01:21:30,450
Oh.

1371
01:21:32,888 --> 01:21:33,976
Fine.

1372
01:21:34,106 --> 01:21:36,282
And a letter
of introduction

1373
01:21:36,413 --> 01:21:39,068
to Dr. Elliot Weaving
of the University of Kent's

1374
01:21:39,198 --> 01:21:40,721
Paranormal Research Department.

1375
01:21:40,852 --> 01:21:42,593
I despise that man.

1376
01:21:42,723 --> 01:21:44,160
He respects you.

1377
01:21:45,813 --> 01:21:47,598
Fine. Anything else?

1378
01:21:47,728 --> 01:21:48,860
Yes.

1379
01:21:50,688 --> 01:21:54,648
You must consider...
the possibility, at least,

1380
01:21:55,823 --> 01:21:57,173
that Gef is real.

1381
01:21:59,740 --> 01:22:02,004
I wish you the best
in all your future endeavors.

1382
01:22:03,657 --> 01:22:04,702
Fine!

1383
01:22:06,051 --> 01:22:07,096
A dollar an hour?

1384
01:22:07,226 --> 01:22:08,227
Yes.

1385
01:22:08,358 --> 01:22:09,881
And the letter of introduction.

1386
01:22:10,751 --> 01:22:12,057
Reluctantly, yes.

1387
01:22:13,667 --> 01:22:14,930
Then I accept.

1388
01:22:16,932 --> 01:22:18,281
Welcome back.

1389
01:22:37,474 --> 01:22:38,954
The Calvert, was it?

1390
01:22:39,084 --> 01:22:44,394
It was. But, um, I regret
to inform you that, uh...

1391
01:22:47,136 --> 01:22:50,313
I've quit drinking.[laughs] Oh.

1392
01:22:50,443 --> 01:22:52,445
The trip was that bad?

1393
01:22:54,534 --> 01:22:56,710
From Mr. James Irving.

1394
01:22:56,841 --> 01:22:58,321
Oh, God.

1395
01:23:01,063 --> 01:23:03,065
"Dr. Fodor,

1396
01:23:03,195 --> 01:23:04,588
while your trip
to Dalby Mountain

1397
01:23:04,718 --> 01:23:06,329
began somewhat auspiciously,

1398
01:23:06,459 --> 01:23:08,548
the way in which you made
your departure was..."

1399
01:23:08,679 --> 01:23:10,246
Blah, blah, blah.

1400
01:23:10,376 --> 01:23:13,205
"I regret to inform you
that I have employed

1401
01:23:13,336 --> 01:23:15,077
the honorable Karl Leibovitz,

1402
01:23:15,207 --> 01:23:17,557
an attorney from Leeds
who specializes

1403
01:23:17,688 --> 01:23:20,647
in litigating cases
involving libel, slander,

1404
01:23:20,778 --> 01:23:22,214
and defamation suits."

1405
01:23:22,345 --> 01:23:24,477
Oh. Incredible.

1406
01:23:24,608 --> 01:23:26,958
Uh, blah, blah
and we get to the-- ah, yes.

1407
01:23:27,089 --> 01:23:29,352
"I inform you of all this
not as a threat,

1408
01:23:29,482 --> 01:23:32,181
but as a piece of information
for you to keep in mind

1409
01:23:32,311 --> 01:23:34,444
when and if you ever decide
to publish an account

1410
01:23:34,574 --> 01:23:37,360
chronicling your time
at Cashen's Gap."

1411
01:23:39,362 --> 01:23:40,406
Oh.

1412
01:23:42,887 --> 01:23:45,324
You want me to order you
a glass of water?

1413
01:23:45,455 --> 01:23:46,717
Uh, please.

1414
01:23:48,719 --> 01:23:51,069
What about Gef himself?

1415
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,463
Have you heard from the bastard?

1416
01:23:53,593 --> 01:23:57,597
He calls me once a week,
at least.

1417
01:23:57,728 --> 01:24:01,210
He called me about a month ago.

1418
01:24:01,340 --> 01:24:03,777
Told me that I had left
one of my shoes behind,

1419
01:24:03,908 --> 01:24:06,128
<i>and that he was keeping it safe
in his little cave,</i>

1420
01:24:06,258 --> 01:24:08,173
<i>should I ever care to return.</i>

1421
01:24:08,782 --> 01:24:10,436
Son of a bitch!

1422
01:24:13,396 --> 01:24:17,704
Gef has become a bit
of a local celebrity.

1423
01:24:18,270 --> 01:24:20,664
Did you hear about the case
of R.S. Lambert

1424
01:24:20,794 --> 01:24:23,623
and the British
Broadcasting Company?

1425
01:24:23,754 --> 01:24:25,277
Indeed.

1426
01:24:25,408 --> 01:24:27,888
And did you hear
that after you left,

1427
01:24:28,019 --> 01:24:31,240
a filmmaker by the name
of Roger Sanz

1428
01:24:31,370 --> 01:24:34,634
brought a film crew to the Isle

1429
01:24:34,765 --> 01:24:39,161
to attempt to obtain evidence
of Gef

1430
01:24:39,857 --> 01:24:42,990
via motion pictures?

1431
01:24:43,121 --> 01:24:44,470
Did I hear!

1432
01:24:44,601 --> 01:24:46,690
<i>The Haunting
of the Isle of Man.</i>

1433
01:24:47,256 --> 01:24:48,822
<i>I attended
the film's premiere,</i>

1434
01:24:48,953 --> 01:24:50,476
<i>if you could call it that.</i>

1435
01:24:50,607 --> 01:24:52,304
<i>On the remote Isle of Man,</i>

1436
01:24:52,435 --> 01:24:54,132
<i>a little seen but much heard
little creature</i>

1437
01:24:54,263 --> 01:24:56,265
<i>going by the name of Gef
is fast becoming</i>

1438
01:24:56,395 --> 01:24:59,094
<i>as famous a mystery
as the Loch Ness Monster,</i>

1439
01:24:59,224 --> 01:25:01,052
<i>only this elusive
creature talks,</i>

1440
01:25:01,183 --> 01:25:03,533
<i>baffling experts
with his sinister</i>

1441
01:25:03,663 --> 01:25:05,839
<i>and powerful pronouncements.</i>

1442
01:25:06,753 --> 01:25:08,233
I saw it shortly thereafter.

1443
01:25:09,756 --> 01:25:12,281
I think it, uh, unequivocally

1444
01:25:12,411 --> 01:25:15,588
puts the mystery of Gef's
existence to rest.

1445
01:25:22,769 --> 01:25:24,467
Will you be publishing
an article

1446
01:25:24,597 --> 01:25:26,251
about your experience, then,

1447
01:25:26,382 --> 01:25:32,214
considering how litigious our
friend Mr. Irving has become?

1448
01:25:32,344 --> 01:25:34,433
I think I will, yes.

1449
01:25:34,564 --> 01:25:35,652
Hmm.

1450
01:25:35,782 --> 01:25:38,133
A braver man than I!

1451
01:25:39,743 --> 01:25:44,530
Well, I will portray the Irvings
and their imaginary pet

1452
01:25:44,661 --> 01:25:47,359
in a far kinder hue
than they deserve.

1453
01:25:47,490 --> 01:25:50,971
And though my time
at the farm was admittedly...

1454
01:25:51,624 --> 01:25:53,322
horrific,

1455
01:25:53,452 --> 01:25:57,413
as the weeks and months pass,
I recall with...

1456
01:25:57,543 --> 01:26:02,200
more and more fondness
my bizarre time there.

1457
01:26:02,331 --> 01:26:04,811
I feel the same.

1458
01:26:08,032 --> 01:26:10,295
And in the end,

1459
01:26:10,426 --> 01:26:13,037
do you feel as though
you understand any better

1460
01:26:13,168 --> 01:26:17,259
the phenomena that is Gef?

1461
01:26:17,389 --> 01:26:21,828
Or the motives of the Irvings?

1462
01:26:23,090 --> 01:26:24,179
Perhaps.

1463
01:26:25,789 --> 01:26:28,922
Why is it that we write,
Dr. Price?

1464
01:26:29,053 --> 01:26:30,533
Hmmm.

1465
01:26:31,969 --> 01:26:37,061
To chronicle our experiences,
I suppose?

1466
01:26:37,627 --> 01:26:39,150
To remember.

1467
01:26:40,586 --> 01:26:44,111
Perhaps you can recall
every detail

1468
01:26:44,242 --> 01:26:45,983
of the cases
you've investigated,

1469
01:26:46,113 --> 01:26:47,941
but I fear...

1470
01:26:48,072 --> 01:26:53,556
entire sections of my life
have faded from view.

1471
01:26:53,686 --> 01:26:56,472
That is not what I meant.

1472
01:26:56,602 --> 01:26:58,125
To journal certainly,

1473
01:26:58,256 --> 01:27:01,259
but why do we publish
our writings?

1474
01:27:02,086 --> 01:27:03,783
To remember, you said.

1475
01:27:03,914 --> 01:27:08,440
No, we publish our writings
to be remembered.

1476
01:27:08,571 --> 01:27:10,268
We do not speak of it, often,

1477
01:27:10,399 --> 01:27:13,271
but we want our names
to be known.

1478
01:27:13,402 --> 01:27:16,187
To be recognized
within our field, and without.

1479
01:27:16,318 --> 01:27:18,929
I do not want fame!

1480
01:27:19,059 --> 01:27:20,452
Neither do I.

1481
01:27:20,583 --> 01:27:22,759
But we would not publish
our findings,

1482
01:27:22,889 --> 01:27:25,631
we would not write novels,
Dr. Price,

1483
01:27:25,762 --> 01:27:28,634
if we did not wish them
to be read.

1484
01:27:31,637 --> 01:27:33,596
It is incredibly ironic

1485
01:27:33,726 --> 01:27:37,469
that one of the most profound
questions I have ever been asked

1486
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,646
was by none other
than Gef himself.

1487
01:27:40,777 --> 01:27:42,300
You're kidding!

1488
01:27:43,823 --> 01:27:45,042
No.

1489
01:27:46,130 --> 01:27:49,220
"What if there is nothing
after this?"

1490
01:27:49,742 --> 01:27:51,266
the creature entreated.

1491
01:27:53,180 --> 01:27:56,880
<i>"No Heaven, no Hell.
Just nothing.</i>

1492
01:27:58,142 --> 01:28:01,406
<i>No awareness that
we were ever aware at all."</i>

1493
01:28:04,844 --> 01:28:06,846
A grim query!

1494
01:28:06,977 --> 01:28:08,283
Indeed.

1495
01:28:09,762 --> 01:28:12,852
What if there is nothing
before or after?

1496
01:28:15,115 --> 01:28:16,943
What if this is all there is?

1497
01:28:19,903 --> 01:28:21,252
If that is so, then...

1498
01:28:21,383 --> 01:28:24,168
all that is left
after our bodies die

1499
01:28:24,299 --> 01:28:25,909
are the things we leave behind.

1500
01:28:26,039 --> 01:28:29,478
<i>In your case, and in mine,
it is our writings.</i>

1501
01:28:29,608 --> 01:28:31,958
<i>The tales of the bizarre places
we have been,</i>

1502
01:28:32,089 --> 01:28:34,918
<i>the-the people and phenomena
we have observed.</i>

1503
01:28:35,048 --> 01:28:37,442
<i>That we have experienced
these things,</i>

1504
01:28:37,573 --> 01:28:39,009
is what makes us unique,

1505
01:28:39,139 --> 01:28:41,751
among the two billion or so
people on this planet.

1506
01:28:43,230 --> 01:28:45,232
What, then,
makes the Irvings unique?

1507
01:28:46,625 --> 01:28:48,714
For what will they
be remembered?

1508
01:33:52,583 --> 01:33:58,415
Yeah, I just wanted to give out,
uh, a shout to the entire...

1509
01:33:58,545 --> 01:34:00,069
well, almost,

1510
01:34:00,199 --> 01:34:04,595
the entire cast and crew,
uh, on the production

1511
01:34:04,726 --> 01:34:07,076
of <i>Nandor Fodor
and the Talking Mongoose.</i>

1512
01:34:07,206 --> 01:34:10,862
An extraordinary cast,
incredible crew, amazing DOP.

1513
01:34:10,993 --> 01:34:14,300
Extraordinary costumes, set.
I mean, everything was amazing.

1514
01:34:14,431 --> 01:34:16,738
Um, apart from working
with Adam. Um...

1515
01:34:16,868 --> 01:34:20,872
<i>'cause he is a bit of a diva,
to say the least.</i>

1516
01:34:21,003 --> 01:34:23,701
I've been in this business
for over 40-plus years.

1517
01:34:23,832 --> 01:34:25,137
I've worked with some
great actors,

1518
01:34:25,268 --> 01:34:26,617
great writers, directors,

1519
01:34:26,748 --> 01:34:28,488
all kinds of great people.

1520
01:34:28,619 --> 01:34:31,187
But I've never worked
with a complete [bleep].

1521
01:34:32,188 --> 01:34:34,799
<i>And the guy who wins that prize
is a guy called Adam Sigal.</i>

1522
01:34:34,930 --> 01:34:37,454
Who calls himself a director.

1523
01:34:37,584 --> 01:34:40,500
Really, really challenging guy, yeah.

1524
01:34:40,631 --> 01:34:42,720
You get a project

1525
01:34:42,851 --> 01:34:46,202
and you read it
and you get excited about it

1526
01:34:46,332 --> 01:34:48,334
and the money is good
and all that stuff,

1527
01:34:48,465 --> 01:34:50,685
and then you get there
and there's just...

1528
01:34:52,121 --> 01:34:53,949
<i>this guy at the helm.</i>

1529
01:34:56,691 --> 01:34:59,476
The man's a fool.
Couldn't direct traffic.

1530
01:35:00,172 --> 01:35:01,652
And I was like, "Oh, by the way,

1531
01:35:01,783 --> 01:35:06,222
there's two words that
I wanted to just swap around,

1532
01:35:06,352 --> 01:35:08,920
<i>because I just think it might
fly a little bit better."</i>

1533
01:35:09,051 --> 01:35:13,359
And he said, "What the
did you say about my script?"

1534
01:35:13,969 --> 01:35:15,492
If something wasn't going right,

1535
01:35:15,622 --> 01:35:18,103
<i>he would just stand up
and shout,</i>

1536
01:35:18,234 --> 01:35:19,801
<i>and then just storm off,</i>

1537
01:35:19,931 --> 01:35:21,890
<i>and you wouldn't see him
for hours.</i>

1538
01:35:22,020 --> 01:35:23,979
<i>And then when he was ready
to come on set,</i>

1539
01:35:24,109 --> 01:35:25,502
he wouldn't come back on set.

1540
01:35:25,632 --> 01:35:28,723
He would just send back
an Alsatian called Gavin,

1541
01:35:29,898 --> 01:35:32,030
<i>who he then would scream
from the other room,</i>

1542
01:35:32,161 --> 01:35:34,119
<i>"Gavin's now directing!"</i>

1543
01:35:35,251 --> 01:35:38,689
<i>And you can tell, obviously,
when watching the movie,</i>

1544
01:35:38,820 --> 01:35:41,039
<i>the parts that are directed
by a dog.</i>

1545
01:35:41,170 --> 01:35:42,737
Because they're better!

1546
01:35:43,302 --> 01:35:45,304
I... I can't talk right now.

1547
01:35:45,435 --> 01:35:46,958
He grabbed me
by the back of my hair.

1548
01:35:47,089 --> 01:35:51,397
He slammed my face down
really hard on my desk.

1549
01:35:52,659 --> 01:35:54,096
That was day one.

1550
01:35:54,226 --> 01:35:59,014
Uh, Adam Sigal
is a [bleep] bubble,

1551
01:35:59,144 --> 01:36:01,059
<i>and I wish that mother[bleep]</i>

1552
01:36:01,190 --> 01:36:02,844
<i>would just [bleep] off
back to Florida</i>

1553
01:36:02,974 --> 01:36:04,541
<i>with the rest
of the [bleep] alligators</i>

1554
01:36:04,671 --> 01:36:06,543
<i>and [bleep] hicks that
he hangs out with.</i>

1555
01:36:06,673 --> 01:36:07,718
What a [bleep]!

1556
01:36:07,849 --> 01:36:10,199
What a [bleep]!
