The Mothman Prophecies Page #3
but this isn't just a message,|it's a prediction.
It came true.
These things Gordon's having,|are they dreams or hallucinations?
The way he describes them,|they sound like dreams.
I don't know.
He believes they're real.
I had a dream like that.
Yeah?
It was nighttime...
and I was|in the middle of the ocean.
I was trying to swim,|but I was too cold.
I kept looking-|I kept looking for something...
to hang on to.
And there were presents...
floating all around me.
They were wrapped up.|They were tied with bows.
I tried to grab on to them,|but they kept popping away.
And then I started to sink...
like a stone.
There was nothing I could do.|I was falling.
But it felt good.
I was letting go.
and...
all I could see...
was black...
and all I could feel|was the darkness above me...
and the lights...
coming from below.
I knew I was dying.
And then I heard this voice,|like somebody whispering in my ear.
"Wake up,|number 37. '"
And then I woke up.
What do you think that means?
Number 37?
I have absolutely no idea.
I met him.
The guy who told me|about the plane crash.
You met him?
Yeah.
I met him.
Last night, coming home|from work about midnight.
I'm driving past|the cement plant...
Right.
Something happened.
Bright...
flash.
Lightning.
Something...
encircles me.
Everything's kind ofhot.
I feel like I can't catch-
catch my breath.
He looked human.
But there was just something...
wrong about him.
That's when I heard the voice.
The same voice|that I heard two nights ago.
He said...
" Do not be afraid. "
My name...
"is Indrid Cold. "
And he said to me...
"In a place this size. "
Equator.
Three hundred.
Three hundred will die.
Wait for me.
I will return.
I will see you in time. '
And that was it.
It's a little-
Have a look.
She knew.
I didn't see anything.
You want to hear|the chief's latest phone call?
Yes?
- Thank God you're there.|- Gordon?
I know I sounded crazy the other day,|but things are getting weird out here.
Slow down,|Gordon.
- He's here.|- Who's here?
Indrid Cold.|He's standing right next to me.
Get over to Gordon's right away.|He says Indrid Cold is there.
Gordon,|let me talk to him.
Sure. Hang on.
Hello,|John Klein.
Who is this?
My name is Indrid Cold.
Unless, of course,|you're Gordon Smallwood.
Your father was born|in Racine, Wisconsin.
He lived in a green house|on Monroe Street.
You don't remember|how your mother looked.
Okay,|you got my attention.
- Where's my watch?|- In your shoe.
Under the bed.
Very good, John.|Thank you.
What's in my hand?
Chap Stick.
You're reading my mind,|aren't you?
Did you read my mind?
I have no need to,|do I?
What's the third|line of page 51?
"A broken smile|beneath her whispered wings. '"
Still more proof,|John Klein?
What do you look like?
It depends on who's looking.
I want to meet you.
You already have,|John.
I have seen you afraid.
You're afraid right now,|aren'tyou?
Can I ask you something?
Why ask me|what you already know, John?
What happened to my wife?
You were there.
Mary Klein cannot be found|by looking.
You will see her in time.
What's up,|Connie?
Everything okay?
Did you just call John?
Unless, of course,|you're Gordon Smallwood.
See? It's sticking up here|around 1,950 cycles per second.
But it never gets any lower|than maybe 1,930 or so.
But yours is way down here|in the normal vocal range...
anywhere between 1,000|and 1,200 cycles per second.
Okay, so this guy's vocal range|is much higher than mine.
What makes you think it's a man?
Still more proof,|John Klein?
What is it?
Near as I can tell,|it's...
an electrical impulse.
But whatever it is, it's not|coming from human vocal cords.
Why ask me|what you already know, John?
What happened to my wife?
You were there.
Mary Klein cannot be found|by looking.
You will see her in time.
This isn't like you. We used to rip on|this stuff. when it came over the wire.
Yeah, I know.
- I t's different when it happens to you.|- Do me a favor.
Talk to Cyrus today.|Tell him you got the flu. Any excuse.
I'll back you up.
I just wanna make sure|you still got a job...
when you're done doing|whatever it is you're doing down there.
Okay,|I'll call you from Chicago.
What time is your flight?
8:
00 a. m.Am I crazy?
No.
I am crazy.
Alexander Leek.
- Who the hell are you?|- John Klein. I called you last week.
Do you know what that is?
Stay away.
I need to know what this is.|Tell me.
Where are they seeing it?
Point Pleasant,|West Virginia.
You can help me.
Follow me.
The nocturnal butterfly.
In ancient cultures, the moth|represents a form of the psyche...
or the soul|immortally trapped...
Mothman.
That's what the Ukranians called him.|Rough translation, of course.
There were 100 sightings in Chernobyl|the year the nuclear plantwent down.
Galveston, 1969,|just before the hurricane.
They saw it.
But seeing isn't|always believing.
Look, there's never been|a single shred of evidence...
to show that these things|exist materially.
So you're telling me|these things do not exist?
Oh, they exist. All kinds of things|exist around us that we never see.
Electricity, microwaves,|infrared waves.
You know, these things|have been around forever.
They show up in cave paintings.
They're a normal condition|ofthe planet.
They're just not part of our consensus|of what constitutes...
physical reality.
What are they part of,|then?
You're asking for|an explanation...
for something...
that can't be explained|rationally.
You know the buildup of energy|before something happens?
The way your hair stands up|before lightning strikes?
"Before something happens. "|Do you mean they cause disasters?"
Why would they need to?
All right,|then...
are they trying to warn me?
Their motivations...
aren't human.
All right,|then what do they want?
I have no idea.
What you really want|is to know...
why you?
Yes.
You noticed them,|and they noticed that you noticed them.
Most people aren't sensitive enough|to see them...
without some kind of...
trauma.
What happened toyou,|Mr. Klein?
Last week my friend|got a strange phone call...
from an entity...
a spirit,|whatever.
It seemed to know everything.
Like God?
- It made predictions that came true?|- Yes.
His name was Indrid Cold.
It's perception, John.|They appear differently to everyone.
A voice, a light,|a man, a monster.
If your friend thinks it's God he spoke|to, he's off by more than a few degrees.
Then how do you explain|that it knows everything?
Look at that.
If there was a car crash 10 blocks away,|that window washer could likely see it.
That doesn't mean he's God...
or even smarter than we are.
But from where he's sitting...
he can see|a little further down the road.
these entities|are more advanced than us.
Why don't they just come right out|and tell us what's on their minds?
