The Mothman Prophecies

Jesus!

Are you still there?

No, I'm back.

I'm not sure I got the spelling.

It is a "Y." Okay, great. Yes, thank you. Bye.

Honey, you there? Pick up, pick up.

You're not there. Okay. Look, it's a little after 6: 00.

I'll catch a ride and see you out there. Bye.

-Jack. - Yeah?

The Balkans peace council is "comprised" or "composed" often members?

Twelve members.

Oh, right. Thanks.

Composed.

What?

A three-block area has been evacuated.

You might wanna avoid that route coming home from work.

- What do you think, Cy? - This'll make them sweat. It's good.

- I'll lead with it. - Great. I'll see you Monday.

What?

- I gotta go. - Come on,John.

It'll look bad, my star reporter not showing up at the Christmas party.

I can't.

Mary's waiting for me.

It's a big house, isn't it? It's a steal at this price.

That's if you want it.

But we're gonna have to make an offer today.

The owner's highly motivated.

Think it over. I'll make some calls.

Take a look around.

Okay. Thank you, Brian.

Thank you very much.

It's okay. We're just gonna look.

My God.

Here you are.

We were just making sure there was adequate closet space.

Good. Good.

Well, this house is yours if you want it...

but you have to decide right now.

We'll take it.

Really? Oh, my God!

You know what I kept thinking when we were looking at that house?

That we should get a mattress for that closet.

I kept thinking that it felt like a dream come true.

Come here.

- How fast can you drive this thing? - Really fast.

Let's see.

Okay.

- We bought a really, really-- - Excuse me. We bought a house.

We bought a big house.

Mary.

Mary, are you all right? Mary, talk to me.

Are you okay?

Can you hear me? Jesus Christ!

Hold on, darling.

911 , there's been an accident.

Yes.

Nothing.

You okay?

Yeah.

All right. It's all right.

It's all right. It's just me.

You didn't see it, did you?

See what?

What did you see?

I didn't see anything.

There's something wrong with me.

It's called a glioblastoma.

It's a temporal lobe tumor.

According to the doctor, it's extremely rare.

One in...

600,000 gets this thing.

Did they say it was a result of the accident?

No, it turns out...

that it's been there a while.

There's nothing else they can do?

They did the surgery, and they couldn't get it all out, so they'll...

keep her on the chemo...

as long as her strength holds out.

That's working. I think she's looking better now.

Good.

That's good.

Two weeks ago...

we were house hunting.

One day you're just driving along in your car...

and the universe...

just points at you and says...

"Ah, there you are, a happy couple.

I've been looking for you.

I've been looking for you."

I'm sorry.

For what?

For all of this.

I feel like I ruined everything.

You didn't ruin anything.

Not a damn thing.

I want you to be happy.

You didn't see it, did you?

Yes.

Yeah?

She knew.

What?

She was drawing angels.

It was the meanness of the campaigns...

the almost complete lack of candor and honesty...

that turned the voters off.

I think that these parties are demonizing each other.

They're projecting our own personal fears and anxieties...

onto the national stage.

People don't like it. People are very, very unsatisfied at the moment.

It makes them complacent because they don't see any possibility of change.

2004-- Is there a dark horse candidate out there for the Democrats?

Well, I'm hearing a lot about Russ McCallum.

- Governor of Virginia. - Yeah, he might do what Carter--

Hey, I told her to watch.

Who?

Peter's friend Gwen.

She'll be there tonight.

Oh, God. Look, I don't think I'm gonna be able to make that one tonight.

Come on, you can't keep blowing this thing off.

I'm not. I've got an interview with the governor.

I gotta be in Richmond at 8:00 in the morning.

I almost forgot. McCallum's office called.

They bumped the meeting till tomorrow night.

Eddie, look, I--

Look...

she's not Mary.

Not by a mile.

But you know what?

No one ever will be.

Hey, Ed. I'm sorry about today.

I'm sure Gwen is very nice.

Maybe some other time.

It's about 1: 00 in the morning.

I'm a little wired, so I'm driving down to Richmond tonight.

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye.

All right, come on.

Hi. I'm sorry. I know it's really late, but my car broke down just up the road.

I wondered if I could use the phone.

Hello.

It's him.

I been waitin' for you.

You son of a bitch. What are you doin'?

Get the door! Get the door!

Just stay right there.

Mister, I don't know who you--

Shut up!

Shut up.

Honey, Connie's here.

Well, hey, Gordon. How you doin'?

Okay, why don't you just...

put down the gun and tell me what's going on here.

Yeah.

He's come around three nights in a row. This son of a bitch is stalking us.

- I'm John Klein. My car broke down-- - Let's let Gordon finish, Mr. Klein.

Two nights ago...

at 2:30 in the a.m., there's a bang on the door.

I open it up, and here's this guy.

He says he wants to use the phone.

But there's something creepy about him...

so I tell him to get lost.

Last night at 2:30 on the dot, guess who's back.

You're sure it was Mr. Klein here?

I am absolutely positive it's Mr. Klein.

- Crazy. This is-- - I am not crazy.

- I didn't say that you-- - So then what happened?

I warned him off my property.

I used the word "trespass," and he still came back.

You're lucky I'm a Christian, because I had the right to shoot you on my porch.

He'd have to been inside the house, Gordon.

What?

Fine.

So tonight I figured the dumb fuck might come back, and sure enough, there he is.

It wasn't me.

I don't know what's happening here.

Something's very wrong here.

I don't know these people. I have never been here before.

I'm from DC. Look.

It's a wallet, okay? Wallet?

I'm from DC.

My name is John Klein.

Washington Post.

Yes.

Can I get out of this shower now?

You can wait for me outside, Mr. Klein.

We'll run a check on him. Anyone else comes by, forget the gun.

Just call me.

Just find out what he wants.

So, you didn't actually see the guy before tonight?

No.

But I heard the knocking.

Three nights in a row.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

I'm gonna give you a ride into town, unless you wanna sleep in your car.

I can call for a tow in the morning.

You're a long way from DC.

What are you doing here?

Driving through.

We're not on the way to anyplace, Mr. Klein.

I recognize you.

DC Review.
