The Mothman Prophecies Page #4

You're more advanced|than a cockroach.

Have you ever tried explaining yourself|to one of them?

How many people have seen it?

Ten. Twenty,|maybe.

Listen to me. Something terrible|is going to happen in Point Pleasant.

Don't go back.

Stay away.

I can't talk about this anymore.

There is a reason...

that I ended up|in Point Pleasant.

Something brought me there.

Whatever brought you there...

brought you there to die.

You're just in time. They're just|about to light this Christmas tree.

They have been|for the last two hours.

Isn't that Denise?

Is she okay?

She left Gordon.

He got fired from the chemical plant.|Just stopped coming to work one day.

Sh*t.

- Where is he?|- Who knows?

Be back in a second.

Connie.

What's wrong?

Fifteen more people|reported seeing that thing today.

Fifteen.|Three of them were cops.

I hate this, John.|I absolutely goddamn hate this.

How was Chicago?

What did he say?

He wouldn't see me.

Sh*t.

You all right?

It's cold.|Get in the car, warm up.

I can't.|I'm waiting for him.

Everybody in this town is looking at me|like I'm insane. You know why?

Denise and all the others,|they don't know, John.

I do.

I don't think you're crazy.

Okay?

You talked to him too,|John.

You know...

I've been lying awake at night.

I feel...

like I'm sleeping...

but I'm awake.

That's when I hear him.

And lately,|when I hear him...

all at once...

I understand.

Everything.

John, doyou remember|the last time you were happy?

It's real.

These things are real.

I want you to be happy.

Yeah?

What?

This is your wake-up call,|Mr. Klein.

I didn't ask for a wake-up call.

What happened to you,|Mr. Klein?

I can't believe I got through.

Gordon,|where are you, man?

Speak up.

Listen, John,|he was right.

Mr. Cold was right|about everything.

Right? Right about what?|I can't hear you.

He was right about|understanding.

It's real, John.|I want you to know.

- It's real.|- What is- What are you talking about?

You've got nothing|to worry about.

I'll see you in time.

Gordon?

Can they tell how long|he was out there?

Looks like he's been dead|about eight hours.

He died of exposure.

What made you come out here?

- He called me.|- When?

I didn't like|the way he sounded.

When did he call you,|John?

About an hour ago.

I can't stand this.

It didn't seem right|to bring this up at the funeral...

but as far as I know there's never been|any accidents at the chemical plant.

I don't know|what you're talking about.

I got your message the other day.|I meant to call you back, but I forgot.

Don't you remember|leaving me that message?

Chief,|this is John Klein.

I didn't call him.|No, it's not me.

I analyzed both tapes|with the voice print.

I don't care.|It may be my voice. It's not me.

- I t is not me.|- Listen to me.

I would swear in a court of law|that that's your voice.

Yeah, great.|Thanks.

Sh*t!

Regular coffee to go,|please.

75 cents.

Have a great day.

Do you know that woman?

- What woman?|- She just left. You didn't see her?

- No.|- That's strange.

She had long red hair, green eyes, real|pretty, and she was asking about you.

- Did you see which way she went?|- No.

- What did she say?|- She asked a lot of strange questions.

What are you doing here?|And she asked if you were happy.

- What did you say?|- I asked her for some I D.

- Did she give you any?|- No.

"She just said "Tell John I'm sorry for|ruining everything," and then she left. "

What's wrong?

Was it her?

Was it her?

That's your wife?

It was her.

- I'm not sure.|- What?

I mean,|the hair is different.

- Oh, come on!|- What?

- This is the woman you saw.|- No, it isn't, John.

Now, I agree|there is a similarity-

Bullshit!

John,|it's all right.

I'm not all right.

This is the woman you saw.|She was here. This woman.

Don't you do this to me.

I'm sorry, John.

I feel like|I've ruined everything.

I'm so sorry.

I need to know|what happened to you.

Please.

Come in.

I was a physics professor|at Cornell.

Tenured.|You can look me up.

One day|I started hearing voices.

The voices became messages.

Before long, I was fully convinced|that I was receiving...

predictions of disaster|from outside intelligences.

But you were,|weren't you?

John, I had tapes|of their voices.

I knew a building was going to blow up,|and I tried to prevent it...

but no one listened.

What happened?

People died.

Many people died.

I was investigated,|almost arrested.

My wife divorced me.

My kids...

stopped speaking to me.

Do you know what four years in|a psychiatric hospital can do to you?

Everything...

gone.

Oh, you'll never understand|their messages.

You'll misinterpret them.

I did.|It almost destroyed me.

In the end,|it all came down to just...

one simple question.

Which was more important-

having proof...

or being alive?

Trust me.

I turned away years ago...

and I've never looked back.

Didn't you need to know?

We're not allowed to know.

It's me, Cyrus.

John,|is that you?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

Whatever you are doing,|you drop it.

Governor McCallum|is going to Charleston.

Then he's touring that chemical plant|in Point Pleasant today.

Now, I want you|to go down there...

and meet him at the airport.

You listening?

Yeah, McCal I um|at the chemical plant. Got it.

I need to know that|you're gonna be there.

John,|are you there?

Ohio.

Great tragedy|on the River Ohio.

Great tragedy|on the River Ohio.

I can't call in sick just because|you have a bad feeling about today.

Just think about this.|Gordon saw weird lights in the sky.

They show up|over the chemical plant.

Josh gets a call from me,|but it's not really me.

I'm talking about something bad|happening at the chemical plant.

Then I get this message|from this Indrid Cold...

who's talking about|a great tragedy on the Ohio River.

Guess what's on the Ohio River.

The chemical plant.

Today Governor McCallum|is gonna be there.

I was on myway to interview him.|That's how I ended-

That's how I ended up here.

My God.

That's why I'm here.

He was right.

Who was right?

You saw Leek.

- He was part of the warning.|- What?

He was part of the warning.|Stop, stop, stop.

I didn't want to scare you.

He said-

He said the messages are real.

Something terrible|is gonna happen.

Connie, please.

We have to leave here now.

I will not live|my life like that.

I will not make decisions based|on messages from Indrid Cold.

He may be real to you.|He's not real to me.

Okay,|I'm going to Charleston.

I'll be at the Marriott.|Get yourself reassigned.

I don't want you anywhere|near the plant today.

What if nothing happens?

What if there's no great tragedy?|What'll you do then?

- That's not the point.|- Well, I think it is the point.

- Gordon believed what he heard too.|- I am not Gordon!

I know what's gonna happen.

You have to leave now.

I have to report to work.|We can talk about this later.

- Governor?|- Good to see you, John.

I need to speak with you.|It's urgent.
