Digging Up the Marrow Page #4

No, no. This is really

important, though. I'm curious.

You can't see any eyes

anywhere on their body...

You've never mentioned a family.

You see it?

I totally see it but I would

love to know... about your son.

My guess is that they see

by a kind of audio sensory sight

rather like bats,

you know like bat sonar.

That kind of thing.

Wait! Wait, wait...

I'm sorry.

What is... You hear that?

Are you picking it up?

Stay concentrated and focused.

Will you, please?

I'm totally focused.

In fact, I really would love

to talk to you

a little bit more about

the whole use of lights,

non-use of lights...

That's not up for discussion,

all right?

No lights ever.

Lights scare them away.

Do you understand?

I explained that to you before.

Lights scare them away.

No lights!

I totally get it.

However, though,

I mean, all of these,

these theories, your stories,

photographs, pictures, drawings,

it doesn't...

It's not going to hold up.

Do you not,

do you not believe me?

That's not what I'm asking.

Do you believe?

Yes. How about this?

I really, really want

to believe. How about that?

Um, I mean... I want to

believe so wicked bad in this...

Yeah.

That's why I'm here

following you and doing...

I can tell you my wife thinks

I'm crazy for doing this.

Do you have any children?

Uh...

No, not yet. That's not...

It's... it's not really

the priority right now.

We've only been married

like three years or so.

That explains a lot.

OK. Um, how about this?

Eventually,

we're going to need to have some

monsters in our

monster documentary.

Right?

How's the night vision

working for you?

It's, er...

It's pretty good.

I mean I can...

I can see a lot further.

But, I mean it still

looks like an old green.

It's like a sex tape.

Kill it.

Hell...

Shh.

What?

You see those two trees?

What... What trees...

Those two trees

straight ahead from us.

We're in a forest.

There's nothing but...

The big tree on the right?

There's one right behind it.

He's not moving.

But it's there.

- What, uh...

- Don't. Stay still.

He might be watching us.

He may have seen us already.

Look, look, you see him moving?

- Huh?

- You see him?

- No.

- Yeah.

- Wait, I see something.

- Yeah.

It kind of looks

like a tree branch.

OK, dude, do you see anything?

Oh, God!

He's right here

in front of us now!

I... I don't see anything.

Turn, turn it on. The light.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Will, turn it on!

If it's here, I wanna see it.

- Turn off that light!

- Turn on the light!

Shut it off! Shut it off!

Right.

What the hell was that?

We're done.

What do you mean done?

We just saw something.

We're done!

We're done!

All right. So, er,

camera's rolling,

tell me about what we saw today.

Well, basically, my boy,

Dekker, finally delivered

and we got a...

what I can only think

is a monster on camera.

And it's undeniable.

It was there.

We have the footage, and

I am... psyched,

because this is...

All right,

I will be totally honest,

for a brief moment

I was starting to think

the guy is completely crazy

and we've wasted our time,

which still could have been

funny for something,

but, but we saw it, and

it was real and it was awesome.

Don't you, er...

Don't you think

it's a little scary, though?

Why scary?

Why are you going

to be such a p*ssy?

It's not scary. Just because

something doesn't look like us,

or look like everybody else,

doesn't mean it's scary.

In my whole life, I've only

wanted to see a real monster.

You know, when I was little,

I'd look under my bed,

I'd look in the closet,

not 'cause I was afraid

because I wanted it to be real,

you know.

I mean, it's just, you know,

think about Victor Crowley.

You know what?

Victor Crowley

actually kills people.

Victor Crowley is not real.

Turn, turn, turn it on.

Turn the light.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Will, turn it on!

If it's here, I wanna see it.

- Turn off that light!

- Turn on the light!

Stop it, stop it.

If that's a make-up job,

it's a damn good make-up job.

That's all I'm saying, right?

Well...

- Right?

- I'm just going off the footage.

Because I wasn't there.

But my gut is telling me that

you guys are messing with me.

We're not messing with you.

I tell your gut to shut up.

How about that?

You believe this.

You're a believer.

You believe in William Dekker.

Yes, well, OK...

how about this.

I don't necessarily believe him

but I believe this, yes.

I've always wanted

to believe this.

Haven't you always wanted...

Look at you... you have

a whole sleeve of horror stuff

and you're not more excited

by this?

Haven't you always

wanted this to be real?

I mean, I don't know about this,

like aliens maybe.

Aliens, aliens,

who cares about aliens?

This is monsters...

this is monsters. What if...

What if this guy's conspiracy

theories are all true,

right, and he came to us

with this

and we're the ones

who are getting it.

Right, then maybe

we'll make some

of our money back

for filming this.

It's always money with you.

Why is it always about money?

I was just saying...

Whoa!

Oh, that's Kane.

- Hey!

- Hey, boys.

- How are you?

- Hi, Kane.

- Good.

- Thank you for coming over.

What's with the camera?

- Err... we're just...

- It's part of a thing.

Yeah, we're just doing

a thing...

Thank you for coming so late.

- Sure.

- First, first you have

- to see this, OK?

- All right.

What are you showing me?

Wait, wait. We've been shooting

this documentary, OK?

- This guy contacted me.

- Documentary?

Yes, it's a documentary and...

Very fancy.

If you think that's fancy,

you should see all the make-up

he had on in the interviews.

I did... It's a formal

sit-down interview.

You have some make-up on.

OK, will you just

play this for us?

Just watch this, watch this,

watch this.

Play the tape.

I... I don't see anything.

Turn, turn, turn it on.

Turn the light.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Will, turn it on!

If it's here, I wanna see it.

- Turn off that light!

- Turn on the light!

Shut it off...

So what am I looking at?

What are you look at?

The monster,

did you not just see that?

No, I mean what's it for?

It's not for anything, it's...

Play it again, play it again.

Watch closely.

Look at this. Really look at it.

Go, go, go.

- Turn off that light!

- Turn on the light!

Shut it off...

It does look pretty cool,

but you can't really

see it that well.

- Well, it's the...

- Who made it?

Nobody made it.

That's the whole point.

- It's real.

- We actually shot this

in a cemetery up in Chatsworth.

- Yes.

- And it wasn't porn?

Chatsworth is the mecca of porn.

I know that, yes...

I'd like to see that part again.

There's no more than this.

I give... if anybody should

be excited by this, it's you.

If anyone knows monsters,

it's you.

Look at that, look at the neck.

The thin neck, the huge head,

how could you even do that

as an appliance on somebody?

- Want my real opinion?
