Digging Up the Marrow Page #5

---

- Yes.

- It looks really good.

- Thank you.

I mean, no, not thank you

because it's not...

We didn't do it.

It looks really good but it's...

you need to light it better,

- it's terrible, Will.

- Oh, come on!

It wasn't lit.

That's the whole point.

- Yes, it's exactly right.

- No, it's actual footage.

Actual footage. Found footage.

Boy, that hasn't been done

before.

- No, no, no, no.

- That's what I was trying...

Will you shut up?

No, it's not found footage.

It's footage footage.

- Damn!

- No, it's...

I'm so let down right now.

Well, what else you got

to look at, then?

We have tons, we have so much.

We've actually got nothing else.

What you did...

could have destroyed

decades of work.

Have you been back

to our spot since? OK, and...

Yes, I have and thank God

they haven't gone yet.

But they're moving around

with a lot more caution.

They probably chalked up

our little incident

to a random sighting and they

don't fear for their discovery

or that their entrance is

in jeopardy in any way.

OK, all right, but... Um,

I totally hear.

I want this to work so badly.

I really do.

But, by the same token,

you brought us into this

to shoot stuff.

OK? And if we can't shoot stuff,

then there's no story, right?

There's nothing.

So, help me here.

Yeah, yeah..

Well, that's why I've brought

you over here today.

Is there any way

that we can shoot

and not be

so completely intrusive?

Yes, er...

Will and I have been talking

about that a lot.

Err... Will, why don't you tell

Mr. Dekker our plan?

- Good.

- Me?

- Yeah.

- Do it.

Um, OK. Well, er...

Here's what we talked about.

Um, so we set up

a fake street light,

if you will, out there.

A light that's just, maybe

could play for a street light.

We turn it on during the day.

We do all this during the day,

so no one is disturbed.

We set up

a street light out there,

turn it on and leave it on.

- This is on.

- On all the time.

Then we take some small cameras

and we rig them to the trees.

We have a few cameras

in the office...

They're so small like

you wouldn't even...

- They're real tiny cameras.

- So small.

And we rig them to the trees

and just let them roll.

Let them roll.

Nobody goes out there,

starts and stops them. Nothing.

No lights on the cameras?

Nope, there's no lights

on the cameras.

How bright is that light

that you already have on?

- It's not...

- It's not...

It's not bright. It's soft.

Yeah, on a scale

of one to ten, it's really soft.

And nobody turns it on.

It's already on.

Nobody is going

to disturb anybody

With this,

with what we want to do.

- No.

- No.

- OK. So... We got...

- Shh!

- We got five cameras now.

- Yeah.

Pointing here for now,

they're pointed there,

at the cemetery,

and, if you look up there,

we'll hang that street light

looking thing.

It looks almost identical

to the ones

they have hanging

in the front of this place,

so completely unobtrusive,

but now we have light.

Now we can see things.

If that cemetery light

makes them suspicious?

It won't. Honestly,

I'd be more worried

making that Park Ranger

dude suspicious,

but hopefully,

he thinks that, you know,

like maintenance came out

and replaced it or something.

I don't know.

But I'm... honestly,

I am kind of surprised

that you haven't thought

of this before.

I have.

It didn't work.

Fantastic.

Actually, I think

it would be better

if we didn't have the music

while we're actually

recording the interview

because the music

makes it hard to edit with.

It's my favorite tune.

Who, who is this?

I don't know.

During my decades of research,

I've...

I have discovered

over 40 different species

going to and from The Marrow,

and that's just

from the half dozen or so

entrances that I have found.

Half dozen or so...

Uh-huh.

Now are they always out

in the woods or

near a creepy cemetery?

Sometimes in the woods,

sometimes in the cemetery

and sometimes in other places.

The eye hop.

Eye hop?

Um, why would they have

a Marrow entrance

where there's an eye hop?

They like pancakes.

Pancakes?

Everybody loves pancakes.

Pancakes.

Of course.

Anyway, that one er,

entrance in Arizona

I couldn't really identify.

I mean I monitored the situation

for several months

but I couldn't pinpoint

where the entrance was.

However, the entrance here,

in Southern California,

is the most defined entrance

I've ever seen.

I don't want to lose it.

Because if you give them

enough reason down there

to suspect

that they've been discovered,

then they'll just move on.

I don't know

if they move underground

from one metropolis

to another but

you'll find the entrance sealed

like there was

nothing ever there.

And I would like to think that

the metropolises underneath

are connected in some way,

you know.

Like all the different areas

as...

'Cause I mean I'm looking

at that map and this...

It's all over the country.

And so you feel that they're

all connected underground?

I think that's quite possible.

Yes, but I don't have

any hard evidence,

of course,

to substantiate that, so...

Most of the subjects

are painfully shy.

Painfully shy.

In fact, one that I had observed

in Salem, Massachusetts,

that I called Brella...

Brella?

Brella, short for umbrella.

There she is, right there.

You notice here the umbrella

covers up her head entirely,

- as you can't see her face.

- Yup.

But she does have the body

of a normal human female,

and a very attractive one

I might say, you know.

In fact, I saw her

interacting with a human.

Interacting, how?

Like a human saw... saw that?

I saw Brella

in Salem, Massachusetts,

pick up a drunk college boy

outside of a bar.

- Wait... Do you mean?

- In an alley...

Pick up like 'flirted with',

like 'took him home', like...

What do you mean by picked up?

What does 'pick up' mean to you?

Well, that's... That's what

it means but I have...

Well, then, that's what I mean.

OK, but I would imagine...

She picked him up for some

sort of sexual escapade, OK?

OK, now if I got picked up...

They walked away,

they disappeared,

I tried to follow them...

Why wouldn't he say something

to somebody though if he...

Why... Why...

What is wrong with you?

Why can't I ever just tell you

something and you listen?

'Cause I wanna cut through it.

I mean, again,

it's another painting.

You don't have a picture,

you don't photograph.

Now you're telling me

somebody...

I'm telling you what she did.

She picked up this drunk college

boy. She went off with him.

I don't know what happened.

I tried to follow them,

I lost them.

That's it.

So then, then what?

What happened?

Then... after about three weeks,

a body washed up by a river

in Danvers...

Oh. The body of the boy?

Well...

Nobody really knew...

I mean, there wasn't much there

to be able to identify.

All his entire jaw was gone

And no dentition...

The hands were gone,

the feet were gone.

Just a lump of flesh...
