1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The world of the real and the unreal is a fascinating one.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Beyond belief, fact, or fiction.

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Hosted by James Brolin.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
We live in a world where the real and the unreal live side by side.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Where substance is disguised as illusion and the only explanations are unexplainable.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Will you be able to separate stories of truth from fantasy tonight?

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:52,000
To do so, you must break through the web of your experience and open your mind to things beyond belief.

8
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
This is a Chinese bronze mirror. Its origins go back to before the time of Christ.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
One side is a polished mirror, the other side a detailed design.

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
But when you shine it on a surface, the image on the backside is projected through the mirror.

11
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Now how could things like this happen?

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Tonight's stories ask the same question of you. How can these tales of the impossible happen?

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Some of our stories did happen and were inspired by actual events. Others are plots of pure fiction.

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
At the end of our show, we'll tell you which are which.

15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And by the way, in our stories inspired by actual events, we've changed names, dates, and some details.

16
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
But we have kept one thing. The reflection of strange truth.

17
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
A marriage of convenience is a term reserved for the upper crust of society.

18
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:56,000
It implies people who aren't really in love but stay married for reasons of appearance, finance, material things like expensive silver candlesticks.

19
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
And to be really good at such a marriage requires deceit.

20
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Well, John was very good at deceit. In fact, there's a homicide detective who will tell you that John was truly the type who could get away with murder.

21
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:33,000
The Fender murder was my 52nd homicide case. Allison Fender was a wealthy heiress from a family whose name you find frequently on hospitals and colleges.

22
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Good night, Wolfie.

23
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Allison spent lots of evenings alone with guys like Johnny Walker and Jack Daniels.

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Her husband, John, always seemed to find a reason to disappear three or four nights a week.

25
00:02:50,000 --> 00:03:02,000
But tonight, Allison was going to tell him to disappear for good.

26
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Hello, Darling. How are you this evening?

27
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I'm really tired. I think I'm going to go upstairs and go to bed early. See you soon.

28
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Perhaps you'd like to explain these credit card receipts from the Capitol Hotel.

29
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Oh, they were for the entertaining I had to do for your foundation last week.

30
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Oh, and I'm certain you were alone.

31
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Allison, darling, that was always part of our understanding.

32
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
No, there was no understanding.

33
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
I will not have you make a fool out of me, John.

34
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And I will not be told what to do.

35
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
You will when I'm paying the bills.

36
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Allison, you must be really tired tonight.

37
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Let's talk about this tomorrow morning, shall we?

38
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I've made a decision.

39
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I see you're drinking again.

40
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And I'm sure you don't want to say or do anything. You're over-graded in the morning.

41
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
No, no, no. It won't work this time, John.

42
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I'm falling for divorce.

43
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Allison, darling...

44
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Don't you know how much I love you?

45
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:41,000
That I would do anything for you? Anything?

46
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:50,000
In all the years we were together, did you ever for just a moment think about me?

47
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Always. I always thought about you first.

48
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Not as a wife.

49
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I'm not blind, John.

50
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
I've been financing your affairs for years.

51
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
And? I won't do it anymore.

52
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Allison, you can't really mean that.

53
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I'll do or say anything tonight.

54
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
No, John, it's over.

55
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
You can't be over. We're joining at the hip, remember?

56
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Not anymore.

57
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Have you forgotten? I'm president of your company.

58
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
You're fired.

59
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I'm also chairman of your foundation.

60
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Not for long. After tomorrow, you're nobody.

61
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
John?

62
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:10,000
What are you doing?

63
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
No, John. No, don't do it.

64
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000
John, no!

65
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Take a night, Allison.

66
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000
No, no, no.

67
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,000
It was about 10 p.m. when the maid came back.

68
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Mr. Fender, I'm back. Madam? Madam, is there anything?

69
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh, no! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

70
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Then it was my turn to arrive on the scene.

71
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Uh, how long have you worked for the Fenders?

72
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000
It's June. It will be 17 years.

73
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Since the matter married, Mr. Fender.

74
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
And where's Mr. Fender tonight?

75
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000
I don't know, sir. He seldom home in the evening.

76
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
I can't believe she's gone.

77
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I know this is tough for you, but I just need to ask you one more question, alright?

78
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Would you say the Fenders were happily married?

79
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000
They're polite to each other.

80
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Mr. Fender has, how do you say, a separate life.

81
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Audrey, what's happened?

82
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Oh, Mr. Fender.

83
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Mr. Fender, I, uh...

84
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
I'm very sorry, sir.

85
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
My turn.

86
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Alex?

87
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
How?

88
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
We think it was a burglary. The, uh...

89
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
...hedio doors were broken, and we think you got in that way, and, uh...

90
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
...there might have been a struggle. There was a necklace broken.

91
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
The pearls were scattered around the room.

92
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
We're gonna need you later, sir, to go through her effects.

93
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Make sure nothing else is missing.

94
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Alex?

95
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
It's alright. I know this is very difficult, but now is not the time to see her.

96
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Okay.

97
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
I'm very sorry, sir, but I'm gonna have to ask you some questions, alright?

98
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Yeah.

99
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
There's a new part.

100
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Thanks, sir.

101
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Were there any problems in your relationship?

102
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Problems. I don't understand your question.

103
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I'm sorry. I have to keep asking these questions, sir, but let me put it to you another way.

104
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Would you say you had a good marriage?

105
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Yes. We were inseparable.

106
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,000
And, of course, you already said you were out all evening, and there's someone who can verify that.

107
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Yes, yes, yes! For the hundredth time.

108
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Sorry, sir, I know this is difficult for you, but let me just ask you one more thing.

109
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
I really want you to think about this, alright?

110
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Is there anyone you can think of who might want to hurt your wife?

111
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
No. Everyone loved Alice.

112
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
She didn't have an enemy in the world.

113
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Why would anyone want to do something like that?

114
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Oh, I don't know. So there's been a lot of burglaries in this neighborhood in the last couple of months.

115
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
But, you know, I find this really strange.

116
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
What's strange?

117
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000
If the perpetrator came in through this door, you'd have to come across the garden.

118
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
You'd think that there'd be some dirt, but there's nothing.

119
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Not a speck.

120
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Will that be all, Detective?

121
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
I've had a very trying day.

122
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Of course I understand.

123
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Don't you worry, we'll catch whoever did this to your wife.

124
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,000
I really appreciate that, Detective. Thank you.

125
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
I don't need to show you how to do it, but...

126
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Thank you.

127
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
I was bluffing with that line about the dirt from the outside, and he knew it.

128
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:13,000
I had nothing on him. I was gonna have to look for someone else and close the book on John Fender.

129
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Wolfie, good night, Wolfie.

130
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Don't do it! Don't! No! Don't! Don't do it! No! No! Don't do it!

131
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:38,000
What do you know? The bird was a stool-pager.

132
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Could this story really happen?

133
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Would a hardened police investigator really put any weight on the squawking of a talking bird?

134
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Then again, one of the most highly publicized murder trials of all time presented an argument

135
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
based upon the mournful wail of an akita dog.

136
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Was our story based on an actual event or simply a clever piece of fiction?

137
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Was this story true or false? We'll tell you at the end of our show.

138
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Next, a diner where the special of the day is murder on Beyond Belief, fact or fiction.

139
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Signs like these are all too common on our streets these days.

140
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Does anyone actually ever think of inviting the people who hold these signs to dinner?

141
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Well, our next story is about a couple who did just that.

142
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
You see, they had compassion for the homeless.

143
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Of course, one man's compassion is another man's poison.

144
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
That's my wife Lizzie, the most kind-hearted woman in the world.

145
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Guess that's why I never told her the truth about our son Bradley.

146
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Shoot! Horace! Shoot!

147
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000
I got the letter saying that Bradley was killed in action over 25 years ago.

148
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I never showed it to Lizzie.

149
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
She still thinks he graduated college and then forgot all about his parents.

150
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
That's what I want her to think. The truth would kill her.

151
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Yeah, that's what it needed.

152
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Sorry. Not open. We close at nine on Sundays.

153
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Come back tomorrow.

154
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Well, they must be smelling that good roast we've got going.

155
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Which I'd better check on.

156
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Besides, we both had something to live for now. Our master plan.

157
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Come on, come on, come on in here.

158
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Come on, come on, don't be afraid.

159
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Lizzie looked so happy when I brought the young man in.

160
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Well, well, who have we tonight?

161
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Lizzie, this here is Kyle.

162
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Kyle? What a lovely name.

163
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Didn't our Bradley have a friend in junior hockey league named Kyle?

164
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
He did. Yeah. Only it was a surname, I think, Kyle.

165
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
I expected Lizzie to bring up Bradley. She always did.

166
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Oh, it'll warm him up inside, you see.

167
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
He's been sleeping under a sofa, thrown out sofa in the alley.

168
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Poor thing. You just make yourself comfortable.

169
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Jake'll get you warmed up on the outside while I look after those insides.

170
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
She's a peach, huh?

171
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Yep, we've been married 52 years this spring.

172
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Well, well, well, she did it again.

173
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Ever see something look that nice?

174
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
That's parsley all around.

175
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
I don't even do this for the customers.

176
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000
She doesn't. I'll get the potatoes.

177
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Thank you, sweetie. And the carrots too, if you could.

178
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000
So, how long has it been?

179
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Since you had a real home-cooked meal, I mean.

180
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
It's been a real long time.

181
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Never mind. I didn't mean to embarrass you.

182
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000
I know your life must be very, very hard.

183
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,000
I could tell that Lizzie was going to mention Bradley again, but this time I had to head her off.

184
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
After all, we had the master plan to carry out.

185
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Our Bradley used to drink milk like it was going out of style.

186
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Right up until he...

187
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Sorry, dear.

188
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Enjoy, son.

189
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
He's dead.

190
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
From the looks of him, though, I'd say his number was up long ago.

191
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Now, I know you two were just being kind, but you really got to be careful.

192
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Said he's not safe anymore.

193
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
All right, officer. We'll try to be more careful.

194
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Good. Now, I'm not trying to scare you, understand?

195
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
But in a way, you were lucky.

196
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Taking in strangers like this could have been one of you ended up in that body bag.

197
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Well, we're done here.

198
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Can I get you a cup of coffee?

199
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
No, I'm good. Good night.

200
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Good night.

201
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
And thanks.

202
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Did you hear that? The officer himself said that Kyle's number was up long ago.

203
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
I know. I just hope what we're doing isn't wrong.

204
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Taking matters into our own hands.

205
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Don't you ever wonder?

206
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Of course I do.

207
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Then I think of how we're helping them.

208
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
I mean, remember Annie and Howard?

209
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Well, and Peter, with the sores, all...

210
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Those sores.

211
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
How miserable they were.

212
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
And how happy they were after.

213
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Sometimes later, I brought another young man back.

214
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000
He seemed so hopeless I couldn't wait to relieve him of his misery.

215
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Oh, dear. It's too cold to be without a coat.

216
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Lizzy was so caring. No wonder I loved her so much.

217
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Thanks.

218
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I'm glad you're here.

219
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
I'm glad you're here.

220
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
I'm glad you're here.

221
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
No wonder I loved her so much.

222
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Thanks.

223
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,000
I used to have a coat just like this.

224
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
I think.

225
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
He was pathetic all right.

226
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Thank goodness he came into our lives.

227
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
He doesn't remember too well.

228
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Poor dear.

229
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
I got hit on the head.

230
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
He can't even remember his real name.

231
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Ever since he got beat up and landed in the hospital.

232
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Oh, my. You must have had a concussion.

233
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
And the hospital didn't try to find out your identity?

234
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
They did, but I didn't stick around.

235
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
He says the needles and the IV bothered him.

236
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Our Bradley didn't like needles either.

237
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
I'll go get the supper.

238
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
She's been a little touchy lately.

239
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000
It was his birthday yesterday.

240
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Our son.

241
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,000
It's been hard on us the way he never came back for a visit.

242
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Since he went off to college 25 years ago.

243
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Something happened to him?

244
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Just life, I guess.

245
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
How's that dinner coming, sweetie?

246
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Coming right up.

247
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Hold it.

248
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Poor man. What a life he must have had.

249
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Well, if it's any consolation, his pain is finally over.

250
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Hmm.

251
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Cortex, Vietnam vet, Gillespie Bradley.

252
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I guess that letter from the government was a mistake.

253
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Bradley never died in the war.

254
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
A cruel twist of fate.

255
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,000
It's ironic that the young man's mental state never let him think to check his own dog tags.

256
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
The link to his past was there all along.

257
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Almost like the keys we spent so much time searching for that turn up right in our own pocket.

258
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Does this story of the kind-hearted poisoners contain some morsel of truth?

259
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Or do you find it impossible to digest?

260
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Precious stones.

261
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
They can be an expression of love or the inspiration for theft, murder, even war.

262
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
But no wonder the rich and famous have always been attracted to them.

263
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Mr. Bromley wasn't rich and famous, but he worshipped those who were.

264
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
And that's why he loved his job at Grace Jewelers.

265
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
But before this day is over, Bromley's life will be transformed.

266
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
And he'll know the true meaning of the word precious.

267
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Looking back, I can't believe what an afeet snob I was in those days.

268
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
The way I fond over our wealthy customers, my dramatic approach to everything.

269
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
But I thought that's what they wanted.

270
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Maybe you should consider the Sterling Sapphire.

271
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
We have had such luck putting that in the Victorian setting.

272
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Oh, excuse me a moment.

273
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
I wasn't sure who was Epidora, but one look told me she was no wealthy customer.

274
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000
What can I do for you?

275
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Hi, I'm Amy Faraday. The agency sent me back for a keeping job.

276
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
I'll call Mr. Donovan. Oh, never mind. Here he is.

277
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Mr. Donovan, this is the girl from the TAMP agency. Amy...

278
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Faraday.

279
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Oh, great! Well, there's a ton of work on my desk.

280
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Bromley, will you show Amy where she'll be working? I'm off to meet the Ruby Dealers.

281
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
It'll be a couple of hours, but you can reach me in the car. See you in the morning.

282
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I loved being in charge. As for that odd woman from the agency, who had time for her.

283
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Thank you.

284
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000
It was near closing time, and procedure called for me to load and close the vault.

285
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
But there was still one sale to make that day.

286
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
It was Mrs. Rivers, a woman who knew how to spend her husband's money.

287
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Hello, Kimberly.

288
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Hi, Mr. Bromley. I hope we didn't keep you waiting.

289
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Of course not, Mrs. Rivers. Let me get the watch. It's exquisite.

290
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Fabulous. Sweetie, you can look, but don't touch, okay? I'll be right over here.

291
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Oh, wonderful.

292
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Isn't it?

293
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Oh, you were absolutely right. It's gorgeous.

294
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
The price is still hooked onto it.

295
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Oh, boy.

296
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I knew you'd love it. You have such good taste. Oh, look, Pepper.

297
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I never matching necklace.

298
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
I was so busy stroking Mrs. Rivers and her dog. I had no idea what Kimberly was up to.

299
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,000
She used to just stand in one place and cling to her mommy, but she was older now, and she liked to explore.

300
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:22,000
I never saw her walk towards the vault, and I certainly never saw her go inside.

301
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Beautiful. Beautiful. Will you just excuse me for one moment?

302
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Why did I feel it necessary to close that vault at that moment?

303
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
But that was me, a stickler for store policy.

304
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
See?

305
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
I really think that watches you.

306
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I love it. Kimberly, come take a look at this.

307
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Kimberly... Kimberly, where are you?

308
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Have you seen my daughter?

309
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
I thought I heard her when I...

310
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
When you... when you was.

311
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Closed the vault.

312
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Kimberly!

313
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Kimberly! Kimberly! Kimberly?

314
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Mommy, mommy, help me!

315
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Oh, my God, she's in there. Open it!

316
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
I can't!

317
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
What do you mean you can't?

318
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Mr. Donovan is the only one who knows the combination, and he's on the road.

319
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I'll call his car.

320
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
I'm in the door! Help me!

321
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Kimberly! Kimberly!

322
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
He forgot the phone.

323
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Kimberly!

324
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Okay, come on.

325
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Come on.

326
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
What's happening? Can you open it?

327
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Here's the deal. This is going to take all night to crack this combination.

328
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:02,000
The problem is, she's not going to last more than an hour without more oxygen.

329
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Can't you use a drill or something?

330
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Even with the best tools, this will still take hours.

331
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Just when everything seemed hopeless, that strange woman from the agency joined our group.

332
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Please, do something! Someone!

333
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
I can open it.

334
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
How?

335
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I can do it.

336
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Just let me try.

337
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Let her try.

338
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Please, save my child.

339
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
I thought who was that woman?

340
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Kimberly?

341
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Kimberly, can you hear me?

342
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000
I want you to put your ear and your hands against the door, okay?

343
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
I'm afraid. Please give me out.

344
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
I know, sweetheart.

345
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
We're going to play a little game, okay?

346
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
I want you to say the first thing that comes into your mind.

347
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Okay? Right or left, Kimberly? Right or left?

348
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Right.

349
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Now, say the first number from 1 to 99 that pops into your head. Okay?

350
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
1 to 99.

351
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
32.

352
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Okay, again.

353
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Right or left?

354
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Left.

355
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000
And another number from 1 to 99. What's the number?

356
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
87.

357
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Good. Okay.

358
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Now we need it again. Right or left?

359
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
I feel dizzy.

360
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Left.

361
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Come on, sweetheart. Stay with me. We're halfway there.

362
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
1 to 99.

363
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I don't know.

364
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Yes, you do know, sweetheart. You know the number.

365
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
You're the only one who knows. Now come on. 1 to 99.

366
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
63.

367
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Good job.

368
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Okay. Last time.

369
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Right or left?

370
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Right.

371
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Okay.

372
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
1 to 99.

373
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
1.

374
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
I don't know.

375
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
1 to 99.

376
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
1.

377
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
There was no click.

378
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000
No, Kimberly, that's not the number. We have to start again, okay?

379
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Right or left?

380
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Kimberly?

381
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Kimberly?

382
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Right. 32.

383
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Left. 87.

384
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Left. 63.

385
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Right. 1.

386
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
No.

387
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Left.

388
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Oh, Kimberly, sweetheart.

389
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Sweetheart, mommy's here.

390
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Doctor's here now. You're going to be okay?

391
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Kimberly was going to be alright.

392
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
I don't remember ever really praying before that day.

393
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
But now I do it all the time.

394
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
I was so lost in my own thoughts,

395
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
I never saw her leave.

396
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Where is this lady?

397
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Yeah. Where is she? She saved my daughter.

398
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
She's right here, Amy.

399
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I couldn't imagine who this was.

400
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
But I'll never forget what she had to say.

401
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Hi, I'm Amy Faraday.

402
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
The agency sent me about the bookkeeping job.

403
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
The true act of heroism.

404
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
The saving of a human life.

405
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Yet it seems impossible that our hero defied the odds

406
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
and came up with the right combination.

407
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
And then again, don't people win million-dollar lotteries

408
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
every week using this method of guessing?

409
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
And why does another woman with the same name

410
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000
show up for the same job at the end?

411
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
What sort of agency was our hero working for?

412
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Is there a more mystical explanation

413
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
for the opening of the vault?

414
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Or is this simply a story of the hero?

415
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Or is this simply a combination of lies?

416
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
The truth about this story will be revealed in our final act.

417
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Next, we visit a Garden of Mystery

418
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

419
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
All gifts come with a price tag.

420
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Modern Jerome Metz have been experiencing episodes of ESP lately.

421
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Their visions only occur when they are in the beauty of their rose garden.

422
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
But these visions are gifts with a price.

423
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
In this case, it's Maud's very life.

424
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
A grim reminder that every rose has its thorns.

425
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
This is the story of Maud and Jerome Metz,

426
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
a retired couple living in St. Petersburg, Florida.

427
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
They are miles from their son and daughter-in-law in Minnesota,

428
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
but they've been seeing a lot of them recently.

429
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Every time they step into their rose garden.

430
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,000
This is almost as lovely as you'll miss.

431
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Isn't that gorgeous?

432
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
How about a little wool surrounding?

433
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Lately, Maud has been having psychic flashes in the garden.

434
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000
But these episodes are always followed by a violent headache and loss of strength.

435
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
What?

436
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
What's the matter?

437
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
It's Freddy. He's about to do something foolish.

438
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
He's gonna mortgage his house.

439
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000
It was like all of Maud's visions.

440
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
She'd grow weak while Jerome would become agitated with excitement.

441
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
We have to stop him, Jerry. We have to stop him. Call him.

442
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Yeah, I'll call him. I'll call him.

443
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Jerry, call.

444
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Relax. Relax. I'll just...

445
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Freddy!

446
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Don't do it, Freddy.

447
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Slow down, Dad. What are you talking about?

448
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
You know what I'm talking about. The business deal.

449
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
How do you know about that?

450
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Nobody knows. I haven't even told Doris about it.

451
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Your mother and I know all about it.

452
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
We sure it.

453
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
This is a really big deal, Dad.

454
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
I'm not gonna blindly jump into anything.

455
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I checked it out, okay? Don't worry.

456
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Wait a minute. What do you mean you saw it?

457
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
What are you talking about?

458
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
It's our rose garden, Freddy.

459
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Get some lunch, okay?

460
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Several days later, their daughter-in-law in Minnesota

461
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
is preparing to feed her baby.

462
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
A simple everyday act.

463
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
The two o'clock feeding.

464
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
What's about to happen cannot be explained easily.

465
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Can you come here and watch a little, brother, please?

466
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Okay.

467
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Danny?

468
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
No, it's okay, Mom. It's just a glass.

469
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Okay, but stay away from it. Let me clean it up.

470
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
You okay?

471
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Oh, here.

472
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Oh, gosh.

473
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Listen, if you want, you can go outside and play, okay?

474
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Okay.

475
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Now stay out of the street.

476
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Oh, no.

477
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
It's a glass.

478
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Oh, baby.

479
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
It's coming.

480
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Jerome! Jerry, come quick!

481
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
The baby's in danger. There's glass in the baby's food.

482
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
We've got to call Doris right away.

483
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Hello?

484
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Dad, I can't hear you.

485
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
The baby's crying.

486
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Oh, I'm sorry, Mom. Don't read the baby.

487
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Dad, I can't hear you. The baby's crying.

488
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Hold on just a second, okay?

489
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
No, Doris. Stop. Don't read the baby.

490
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Dad, what are you talking about?

491
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
This glass of the baby's food.

492
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Oh, this is pinnick.

493
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Dr. Bennett said he will call tomorrow in regards to the test results.

494
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
I just don't understand why it's happening to you or not to me.

495
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Maybe it is an allergy.

496
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Don't worry about it. Everything will be all right.

497
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
You're sure, Dr. Bennett?

498
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
And there's nothing she can take?

499
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
But these are very special roses.

500
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Yeah, all right.

501
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I understand.

502
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
I'll tell them. I'll tell them.

503
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
I'll tell them.

504
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
I'll tell them.

505
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
I'll tell them.

506
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
I'll tell them. I'll tell them.

507
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Oh, my God.

508
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Hello, Frida.

509
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Dad, how'd you know it was me?

510
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
I just know.

511
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
You remember that investment you told me to stay away from?

512
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Dad, I can't tell you.

513
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
You saved my life.

514
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I had everything I needed.

515
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
I'm sorry.

516
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
I've been trying to save you.

517
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
I'm sorry.

518
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
I'm sorry.

519
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
I'm sorry.

520
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
I'm sorry.

521
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000
I'm sorry.

522
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
I had everything we owned tied up in that investment.

523
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
We'd have been out on the street.

524
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000
I can't thank you enough.

525
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And Dad?

526
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Yeah.

527
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Take special care of that rose garden.

528
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:09,000
How were Maude and Jerome able to see their children's problems so far away?

529
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Well, who hasn't received a phone call from a mother who just had a feeling you were sick

530
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
and was absolutely right?

531
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Or could the answer lie in the roses themselves?

532
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Since ancient times, roses have been connected with mystical and religious power.

533
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
In fact, that's where the Catholic rosary gets its name.

534
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
What about our story?

535
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Is it artificial?

536
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Hmm?

537
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Or does it have the smell of reality?

538
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Was this story fact or fiction?

539
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
We'll find out at the conclusion of tonight's show.

540
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Next, a tale of war with a surprise ending that's beyond belief.

541
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,000
In this next story, we'd like you to use your imagination to picture two American soldiers

542
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,000
stationed in Australia during the Second World War.

543
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
They are driving in their jeep on their way to an anti-aircraft station

544
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000
and suddenly an enemy air attack is launched.

545
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:15,000
As the bombs fall all around them, they somehow manage to weave their car out of harm's way.

546
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:21,000
And suddenly a low-flying plane drops a huge shell directly under the hood of their car.

547
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:28,000
It looks like certain death, but somehow they're blown clear of the vehicle just as the shell explodes.

548
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000
A few yards away, they see a roadside ditch and dive into it.

549
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
And they hunker down and they stay undercover while the bombs continue to go off.

550
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:46,000
After the attack is over, the two soldiers come out of the ditch and they are visibly shaken, but otherwise not hurt.

551
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:52,000
So looking at the wreckage of their jeep, they agree that it's a miracle that they both weren't killed.

552
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,000
And as they inspect further, they find a large piece of shrapnel lodged in the driver's seat.

553
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,000
The soldier who had been driving stares at the piece of shrapnel in disbelief.

554
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
It has his father's name printed on it.

555
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
He later learns the explanation.

556
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Years before the war, his father had junked an old Chevy in which he had engraved his name on the cylinder block.

557
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:25,000
When the car was scrapped, the parts wound up in Japan, a major market for steel and iron parts in those days.

558
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,000
When the war started, all the scrap metal in Japan was sent to munitions factories.

559
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Well, the parts of his father's car were used to make that bomb that hit the jeep.

560
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:43,000
A bomb that went off, but somehow refused to take the life of his son.

561
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Is this story fictitious or a strange truth?

562
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
We'll find out at the end of the show.

563
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Which of our stories tonight were inspired by actual events?

564
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And which were figments of a writer's imagination?

565
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Let's find out.

566
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Our first story tonight was about a crime of murder that was seen by an unusual eyewitness.

567
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
No, John.

568
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
John, no!

569
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Wolfie, good night, Wolfie.

570
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
John, stop doing it!

571
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
John, stop!

572
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Did you guess that this story is true?

573
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Well, you guessed incorrectly.

574
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
This one never happened.

575
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:38,000
And what about the plot of the kindly diner owners, who's special of the day, was poisoned?

576
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
I just hope what we're doing isn't wrong.

577
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Taking matters into our own hands.

578
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Don't you ever wonder?

579
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Of course I do.

580
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Then I think of how we're helping them.

581
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
A story like that could have happened?

582
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Who knows?

583
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
We made it up.

584
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
And then there was the story of the little girl, the locked vault,

585
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
and the unforgettable way she was rescued.

586
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Please, do something.

587
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Someone!

588
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
I can open it.

589
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,000
There's no way a story like this could have ever happened, right?

590
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Wrong.

591
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
We took our inspiration from actual events.

592
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:27,000
And what did you think about the rose garden that seemed to hold unexplainable visions?

593
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Visions that threaten the world.

594
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,000
And what did you think about the rose garden that seemed to hold unexplainable visions?

595
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Visions that threaten the very life of the woman who saw them.

596
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Oh.

597
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Oh.

598
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,000
What's the matter?

599
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
It's Freddy.

600
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
He's about to do something foolish.

601
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
He's gonna mortgage his house.

602
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
He's gonna put everything he has into this business.

603
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
And he doesn't know that it's a bad investment.

604
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Freddy, don't do it, Freddy.

605
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Don't do it.

606
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
What are we talking about?

607
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
You know what I'm talking about.

608
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Was this a story inspired by actual events?

609
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Yes, it was.

610
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Now, let's look back on the story that I told you this evening.

611
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Was it a work of fiction?

612
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
I'm afraid not.

613
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,000
It happened.

614
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
So, how was your sense of reality tonight?

615
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:32,000
All our stories were inspired by real events, while two were put there to deceive you.

616
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Beyond belief, fact or fiction will continue.

617
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Join us next time as we cross over from tales of complete fiction to the world of strange truth.

618
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Good night.

619
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Join us next time on Beyond Belief, fact or fiction.

620
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
This is Don LaFontaine.

621
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Don LaFontaine
