A Second Knock at the Door Page #7

Well, all this shadow people stuff

is a pretty hard pill to swallow,

you have to admit.

Uh, yeah, I know.

But we're told you say

you have proof of them.

Is that right?

Are you ready to show us

that proof now?

Here is your forum.

Mr. Crowe?

- We are live.

- Uh, yes. Ahem.

The proof I have

of the shadow people...

is...

that...

there is no proof.

Um...

this is all an elaborate hoax.

It's a... a stunt I pulled

at the station.

It's a ratings stunt.

L... I should apologize

to everyone.

I'm very sorry.

This is a huge mistake.

So you're admitting on live TV

that this is all a hoax

and there are

no shadow people?

Are you worried how this might

adversely affect your career, Mr. Crowe?

I'm not sure,

to be honest with you,

if it was a great idea

to even be here today.

Thank you for your time.

We'll be right back.

And there you have it, folks.

Decide for yourself.

Hey, buddy.

Let's go.

Come on.

Are you still working

for the radio station?

No, sir, I'm not.

You're not?

Did you leave

on your own accord

or were you fired?

I can't comment on

what the circumstances were

of his termination.

So he was fired?

I can't comment on

the circumstances of his termination.

Did he leave on his own, then?

Charlie doesn't

work here anymore.

I was like four

when we went fishing

and you taught me how to fly-fish.

That was... that was fun.

Good memory.

In the '70s and '80s,

these conditions

were relatively self-limiting

by the lack of media.

They were limited by the lack

of communication.

And now with globalization

of social media, Internet, e-mail...

that sharing this information

would cause a public health risk.

My strong recommendation

is that we keep

this information sealed

until further research

can be done.

Are you sure you're lying

about having any evidence

or are you just

keeping that to yourself

- to maybe...

- I don't have...

...write a book

or something after this?

Objection, objection.

Asked and answered.

Are you instructing him

not to answer, Counsel?

I've instructed him

not to answer that.

We'll certify that question

to the court, then.

Hey, Dad.

R- R-R-Raunchy Paul!

I hate that show.

Me, too.

I want the truth and I want it

on this deposition and I want it now.

- Who sees this?

- Oh, well, this is a public record.

Anybody can see

this deposition.

Anybody can see that you're...

how you're answering...

I'm sorry. I think I've given you

all the information

I'm gonna give you today.

- I'm sorry.

- You don't have a right to...

- now sit down in your seat.

- No.

We're not through

with the deposition.

You don't have

a right to get up...

- Hey, what's up?

- Dude, I found the DVD. It's real.

No. No way, man.

You're so lying.

No, I'm not.

I'll rip you a copy.

No, no.

Load it on YouTube.

- Do it right now.

- Okay, fine.

And that's how

the shadow people spread...

from person to person

around the world...

whether by

word of mouth, a book,

the Internet...

or a movie.

My hands

kind of like paralyze.

I can't move the minute

it walks into that room.

And when I opened my eyes,

there was these three

solid black shadows.

I'm talking solid.

Point to the ceiling.

Can't you see that?

Can't you see that shadow

or that person?

And I was in

that paralyzed state

where it was

just my eyes moving.

That's all I could see in my room,

but I knew something was there.

I felt like something

had jumped on me.

Whatever was there

had jumped on me.

It was holding me down.

And the next thing I know,

I'm just wide awake

and there's this sound,

like, resonating in my ears.

Sorry.
