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" of ten 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.
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?
Seewhat?
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 ofthe 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...
"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'tsee 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...
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 everwill 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.
Al I 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 b*tch.|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 b*tch 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 f*** 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.
- You watch that?|- We're not all bumpkins.
So I'm not under arrest?
You didn't steal anything.|You didn't hurt anybody.
No breaking and entering.
You've had trouble|with him before?
Gordy and Denise?|No.
They're good people.
Things have just been|a little strange around here lately.
You still haven't told me what you're|doing here in the middle of the night.
I don't know.
Where am I?
Think you could show me|where we are on the map here?
We're right on the state line.
With Ohio.
- What time did you leave DC?|- 1:00 in the morning.
If I was doing 80 the whole way, it|would've taken me six hours to get here.
