Digging Up the Marrow Page #8

---

but they wouldn't answer any

of my questions over the phone

but the guy did say he would

give us, like, 15 minutes.

So, what I want to do is,

I want to sit down,

I want to find out more about

when Dekker worked there,

like, maybe there's people there

who still know him,

and like especially

if he's talked about The Marrow

and all this stuff before.

I think we're to get some

really... some cool stuff.

Great.

- I don't know.

- It seems like a

waste of time to me.

OK, well, you know what?

If nothing else,

we get to go home to Boston.

When was the last time you

got to go to Boston?

What, like three years ago,

four years ago?

No, I was in Boston two

weeks ago shooting a cable ad.

Well, you don't have to shoot

a cable ad while you're there

so, um... it'll be fun.

I've been with the

Boston Police Department

now for 24 years

and I don't ever recall

working

with this gentleman. No.

What department

did he say he worked with?

Uh... he didn't specify that.

Well, I suggest

you have him contact us

and as you can understand,

I can't get

into the service records

of a former police officer

with a third party.

No, I,

I understand that totally.

I just... I guess,

to clarify that,

now, what you're saying is that,

to the best of your knowledge,

a William Dekker

has never worked here

at the Boston Police Department?

That I know of? No.

Just because the one guy

we talked to didn't know him

doesn't mean that it's a lie.

I mean you heard

what the officer said.

Even if he did know something,

he's not allowed

to tell us anyway... so...

worked there. I mean... clearly

the guy never worked there.

You don't know that.

That's according to one officer.

When we get home,

let's go back out there

to the spot

but just me and you.

No Dekker, so that way

if this is like a hoax,

he's putting stuff on for us.

He wouldn't even know

that we're there. Just us.

Right. Just so we can freak out

again and tell us how much

we are compromising his work

and then quit.

Not if he doesn't know.

Is this it?

Yeah...

I know where we are.

Just park here.

OK, cool.

All right, let's do a quick

in and out, OK?

I don't want to be

here all night.

No, I just want to see

the spot without him here.

That's all.

Wait, wait.

How do you...

Just twist the dial on the side

- Like that?

- Yup, that's it.

OK, all right. Got it.

All right.

Let's wait, wait. Shh.

What, what?

Do you hear that?

Was that your footsteps?

No, I stopped.

- Right, let's do it...

- Great.

It's frigging hot tonight.

Yeah.

It's wicked, flack and...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa...

- You good, you good?

Yeah, yeah, yeah trees.

Well, I told you no more uh...

no more ski-lifts at night,

right?

So, this isn't that bad.

This is like home.

It's the woods.

You know what's funny though?

- What?

- Is that during the day

it's like,

'Oh, I am in the forest.'

But then at night, it's like

"I am in the forest"

it's really scary.

All right.

And there it is...

OK, so... all right.

Let me do my intro.

OK.

All right, am I all sweaty?

Um, a little shiny, not too bad

- All right. OK.

- Hold on. OK?

- Into camera, right?

- Yup.

Here we are at the entrance

to The Marrow, or at least

what Dekker claims to

be the entrance to The Marrow.

No. OK, hold on...

Oh, my God...

I thought that was you.

Do you smell that?

You realize

we're in a cemetery, right?

And uh... there's

dead bodies all around us.

Um... I've stuck...

I've stuck my head in worse

I actually went to Hopster

for four years so...

All right, hold on.

- OK.

- Wait a minute.

You realize we're in a cemetery

and you're sticking

your head in a hole?

I know that, I know that...

but I got to see.

Hello?

Monsters?

Yani?

Yeah. Dude.

OK, here's one thing

I will say, though, is...

I don't know if you can see it

but when you go down it

curves around

Oh my God. Dude.

It's got me! It's got me!

Nothing? Really?

No, Jackass.

Come on.

Can we get out of here?

You're no fun.

All right, well, good.

I'm glad we did that.

Now we know

we have lots of footage

of a crazy guy who should

probably be committed,

rambling around about nothing.

We have a hole

in the ground over here.

We have lots of old gravestones,

and we have a dude,

who was probably

one of Dekker's friends

who jumped out at us wearing

nothing but a Halloween mask

which is... whoa...

Dude...

Sorry...

Oh!

Seriously, seriously help me

out please, please, please!

I'm not joking, I'm not joking!

Someone took my boot.

He grabbed me.

Well, at least

you still have your foot.

No, I'm serious, something,

something... It took my boot.

You mean like a root

or something?

No, something like

it didn't hurt...

but it took my boot off

of my foot.

Bullshit.

Fine. You know what? Here.

Hey, uh dude, can you do me

a favor really quick

and just reach in that hole

and um...

- Aha, yeah.

- And grab my boot for me,

please?

You want me to get your boot?

Yeah, yeah... come on... do it.

There's nothing in there.

- All right, all right...

- Do it.

It's pretty deep.

It's a...

You know what?

No, it's your boot. You get it.

Oh, oh, OK, yeah.

Here you go.

You know what? Um...

I was going to throw

these boots out

when I got home tonight anyway

because they're old

and they smell.

So I don't even need it.

And you're going to

walk home in your sock?

I'm going to walk home

in my sock.

But what about the snakes?

There's no snakes.

What about the spiders?

Oh! Spider!

What, dude?

Oh, you're such a dick.

- Fine.

- Go get your boot.

I'll get my boot.

If something happens

to me, seriously...

Damn it!

And don't do that thing where

something grabs you again.

I would never do

the same gag twice.

Have you seen Hatchet 2?

Go on.

Just give me a second.

Holy sh*t!

OK.

- Go on...

- I'm going, I'm going.

I can't reach it.

I can't reach it.

Wait, wait, wait.

OK, hold on.

Oh, sh*t!

Whoa... Hah!... Got it!

What the hell are you two doing?

Oh, sh*t.

What have you done?

What have you done?

Nothing, we were just getting

some shots

without you out here...

potentially orchestrating

this sh*t.

What do you mean

by orchestrating?

I can hear you half

a mile down the goddamn road.

You have no right

to come up here.

No... but there, there,

honestly something down there

just totally took my boot.

I told you we needed

to be discrete.

I warned you.

We could scare them away.

I warned you some of them

are danger...

Public place.

We have every right to be here

if we want to.

- Both of you, that was stupid.

- It's not stupid.

Don't film this now.

No, I'm not recording.

- You know what was stupid?

- You're not?

No. Listen to me. What was

stupid? Was the other day

when we took you out to coffee

and I asked you point blank

have you said this shtick

to anybody else.

And what did you say?

I said that I took it to

a multitude of places

before I brought it to you.

No. No, no, no, no, no... I
