Moth (A Molyember incidens)

No please!

No, please!

No, no!

The 15th of December, 1967.

The collapse of the Silver Bridge.

46 casualties, two missing and not found since.

What caused the catastrophe according to the witnesses

and reports can be seen on the next slide.

First seen in November of 1966.

Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

Near an old explosives factory.

Roger and Linda Scarbury, Joan and Mary Mallet

and their niece.

They said it kept following them,

even if they tried shaking it off on Road 62.

There were about 100 reports filed in those two years,

but once the bridge collapsed just nothing happened.

Whatever is in the photo it just disappeared,

left the town, never returned.

Where did it go after though?

Another unsolved mystery.

What could it be?

A mythical creature?

A mutation?

Perhaps some kind of military experiment

or maybe this is the angel of death trying to warn us

before the catastrophe.

What if I told you that it has allegedly resurfaced?

In Hungary there were 22 reports in the past two weeks.

I am actually going there next week

and I will need someone who can take added footage

so if you would like to join me

just sign up after the lecture.

Thank you for your attention everyone.

See you in four weeks.

Same time, same place, different topics.

Have a nice weekend, thank you.

And how long have you been learning at the university, Adam?

Actually for two years, yeah, for two years.

And what's at the end of the line?

If all goes well I'll be a forensic investigator.

Wow.

Was it always your dream?

I think so, yes.

What about you?

Mine?

Yeah.

Actress.

Okay, two boyfriends.

Oakes.

Journalist.

Oh.

Anyone else?

No.

No luck?

No.

Can we go?

Yeah.

I just don't know what kind of person they all like.

I just don't get it.

I been to eight auditions this year now.

I don't know.

Maybe you could get into school, you know?

Film school.

To learn all these things.

Maybe... intonation.

I don't know because I'm not involved in it

but I guess you have to learn that too.

Yeah I know all this stuff.

Actually I took a term.

Unfortunately I just couldn't finance it.

And my father didn't want to pay for it.

You know, he wants me to be an attorney.

An attorney?

Useful and productive member of the society,

not just someone who plays a role.

My sister, my elder sister Kathy thinks that

it's just a joke, hobby.

And acting barely beats prostitution.

You just play a role and sell yourself for money.

This is my family.

If you ask me I think everyone plays a role.

Everyone sells themselves.

Nobody's honest.

It's a good thing this car was waiting for us.

Yeah, the owner took a term at our university

and I gave her an extra room

and when she left she told me to let her know

if she can repay it somehow.

And you called in a favor, I guess.

Yeah.

Why are we recording every single moment?

Well I hope to turn this into a great documentary

when we get back.

Or not.

But since we have this let's just use it, okay?

Okay.

You think we'll find anything?

I don't know.

I can't tell.

Alright.

Can I ask a personal question, Adam?

Depends.

Where are you from?

I mean I know it's impolite to ask something like that

but I'm so curious.

You don't like my accent or what?

No, no it's not like that.

Your English is perfect.

It's just you're not English like.

I think you're as British as myself.

So?

Yes.

Are you Danish?

Not exactly.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

It's not my business, sorry.

I'm from Sweden.

I moved to England five years ago

and I've been living in London for a while.

But I'm not planning to go home.

What about you?

Hmm?

You know, you mentioned that you are...

Yeah yeah yeah.

I'm Ukrainian.

Really?

Ukrainian?

Yeah, I was raised there.

Did you have to escape or what?

Escape from what?

You know.

What's the reason?

Well there is no dramatic line here.

I learned English in elementary and grammar school.

Then I graduated from the university as an English history

teacher 'cause I also liked history.

Yeah.

And I won a Fulbright Scholarship to the US.

Virginia.

I conducted research there.

I lived there for almost, wow, two years.

Two years?

Yeah, for two years.

And then a good friend of mine just offered this job

in London at the university and I accepted it

so here I am, end of story.

Wow.

You are very...

Very?

Persistent might be the best word.

Well thank you.

Honestly, I didn't think if anyone would sign up,

but I'm very glad that you're here.

Thanks.

I told you I like mysteries.

That's why I'm here.

Actually.

Actually?

When I was young my mom used to get me books about myths.

Greek, Roman myths, stories, legends, stuff like that,

you know.

And when I read a book I didn't just want to find

resolution.

Well mysteries are waiting to be solved, Adam.

Yeah.

You solve it and you take away the whole mystery itself.

But you don't lose a thing.

Everyone just wants to find and solve.

Like who or what the moth man might be.

That's right.

But if you found out who or what it is,

the whole mystery would disappear.

A lot of people want to solve it.

Us included.

25 miles and we will hit our accommodation.

I suggest we should get up early in the morning

and find anyone who might have seen anything

suspicious lately.

Okay.

I'll set the charger up for the night just in case.

Good idea, thank you.

Okay.

What else?

I booked twin beds if it's good for you.

Fine with me, fine by, yeah.

You know other guys would have started getting

ideas by now, Adam.

Others maybe, but I am not here

to try and bed my teacher.

Oh God.

Adam it was just a joke.

Are you always this way in the language of women?

I just don't think we've been

traveling long enough to talk about things like that.

Probably I'm a bit old fashioned but that's how I feel.

Sorry.

Now let's talk about whatever you'd like to.

What do you want to talk about?

Hey hey hey.
