1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,560
The truth will out.

2
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,360
But is it always that easy to see?

3
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:30,760
Beyond belief. Fact or fiction?

4
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Hosted by Jonathan Frakes

5
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,880
We live in a world where the real and the unreal live side by side, where substance

6
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:46,040
is disguised as illusion and the only explanations are unexplainable. Can you separate truth

7
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,600
from fantasy? To do so you must break through the web of your experience and open your mind

8
00:00:51,600 --> 00:01:02,800
to things beyond belief.

9
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,160
When we attempt to separate reality and illusion, it's best not to trust our senses. For example,

10
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,480
this drawing. Our eyes tell us that the line in the lower segment is definitely longer than

11
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:19,000
the line in the upper one of it. Let's look at the truth. They're exactly the same length.

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,480
Tonight, we'll show you stories that will cause you to challenge what your senses are

13
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,440
telling you. Whether the story is real or unreal. We'll let you know at the end of our show.

14
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:37,320
In the meantime, be forewarned in order to tell the difference between reality and illusion.

15
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:43,600
You have to read between the lines. Anyone who's ever visited a theme park knows how

16
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,320
real they can make animatronic figures these days. If you didn't know better, you'd swear

17
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,960
the same displays that are set up to amuse you are living, breathing things. Ted Beeman

18
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,840
works in a special effects house that makes figures for theme parks, children's museums

19
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,800
and the movies. His skill at creating these lifelike creatures would certainly earn the

20
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:09,920
admiration of the early pioneers in this field. People like, for instance, Dr. Frankenstein.

21
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:14,800
If the masks and models on display in this workshop look familiar to you, they should.

22
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,120
For this fantasy factory located somewhere in the outskirts of Hollywood is responsible

23
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,000
for creating many of the special effects creatures and monsters you've seen on your favorite

24
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
TV shows and movies. The goal of the craftsmen here is to get you to suspend your disbelief

25
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,120
and accept their work as real. And purely as a figure of speech, of course. They want

26
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,120
to scare you to death.

27
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,120
That was my fault. Sorry, Kirby.

28
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,800
Meet Ted Beeman. He's the one wearing glasses. The Harry Fellows' Ted's latest creation,

29
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:01,240
Kirby. When Ted and Kirby play their game of monkey-sea-monkey-doo, millions of dollars

30
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,240
are at stake.

31
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Ted is obsessed with his work. He's driven, involved, neurotic. The one thing Ted is

32
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,240
not. He's bored.

33
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,240
Tired too, Kirby? Yeah. Too. It's been a long five months. But we've both been working

34
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:33,680
real hard. It's been great. You've really been like a true friend to me. You've been

35
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,240
the best.

36
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:43,240
Beeman! Did you hear that? It's Perry.

37
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Alright. What's up with the lousy monkey?

38
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,440
His name's Kirby. He's not a lousy monkey, Perry. He's a giant low-land gorilla.

39
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Alright. He's a work of art. You feel better now. Is he ready?

40
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,640
I'm still having some problems.

41
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Great. Great. The studio's been calling me all morning. I mean, they start shooting

42
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,000
next week. They want the ape now, or they are going to hold up payment. Now I'm not

43
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,320
going to take the hit for that, Beeman.

44
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,480
I know what I'm doing. I'll get him to work. It's a software problem. I just need more

45
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,000
time.

46
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Time is up! Okay? I want that piece of junk working!

47
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Do not call him a piece of junk. Not in front of him.

48
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:35,240
What? What am I going to do? Am I going to hurt his feelings? You know, you're one weird

49
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,960
dude, Beeman. In my day, we did not have to rely on computer geeks like you. I mean, you're

50
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,400
sitting around here all day, all night. You never go anywhere. You never do anything.

51
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,480
You don't even have a life.

52
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,480
I enjoy my work.

53
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,280
Huh? Well, don't think I don't hear you talking to these things in here like they were really

54
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,320
alive. You're a real freak, Case. When you listen up, I want that big ape ready to ship

55
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:05,320
first thing tomorrow morning, or you are gone. And I will make sure that you don't work at

56
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320
any other shop in this town.

57
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:15,320
What are we going to do, Kirby? I can't let you go.

58
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:29,280
You like selling a friend? The best friend I ever had. I have an idea. Sorry, Kirby.

59
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:46,280
We won't be able to play for a while, but this will give us more time.

60
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:53,280
The story goes that Ted Beeman took something home with him from work that night. See you

61
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,280
in the morning, old buddy.

62
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:03,280
In the corridors of Hollywood, they still talk about what happened that night. Something

63
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:12,640
seen only by artificial eyes, set in artificial heads.

64
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Beeman! Where is that jerk? Oh, come on. He should be working on that thing. Beeman!

65
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:29,640
All right, that's it. He's finished. Oh, look at you. You have a million-dollar pile of

66
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,320
worthless junk.

67
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Okay, what's going on?

68
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Yeah. Okay.

69
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Hey, it looks like you're working just fine to me.

70
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Okay, baby. I'm shipping you out tomorrow morning. I'm going to fire that idiot Beeman,

71
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:10,000
huh? Okay, let's put you away.

72
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Great malfunction. Well, I'll just shut you down.

73
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Hey, hey, come on. Shut down. Hey, shut down. Come on. Shut down. Come on. Shut down.

74
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Hey, come on. Come on. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.

75
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Hey, hey, hey!

76
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Beeman, come on.

77
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Beeman, come on.

78
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Beeman, come on.

79
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Beeman, come on.

80
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
What happened?

81
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Owners did. Down on the rolling stairs. Broke his neck.

82
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Ferry Burke is dead.

83
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Wait a minute. I left you.

84
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
No, that's impossible. I pulled your driver board.

85
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So how did you get here?

86
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:28,000
What happened here? Did Ted's creation really kill Perry? Kirby's driver board had been removed, so how could he have moved? Did he actually come to life on his own? Or did Ted Beeman kill his boss and concoct this entire story to fool the police?

87
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Or is it we who concocted this story to fool you?

88
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:43,000
We'll find out if this story is true or false at the end of our show. Next, two young men encounter a mysterious woman of haunting beauty on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

89
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Attraction. It's a curious phenomenon, both in nature and in human behavior. The saying opposites attract isn't just some cliche, it's elementary science.

90
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Magnetic poles of the same quality naturally pull away from each other, but change one, and the attraction is impossible to stop.

91
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:14,000
The next story is about magnetic attraction between a man and a woman. An attraction so strong, it defies explanation.

92
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Matt and I like to go for a run each day after our last class at Polytech. We always follow the same three mile route through the neighborhood that boarded our college. Only this day, for some reason, we chose a different path.

93
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:39,000
What did she stop for? Look at that. A gorgeous girl in a mini skirt who's in trouble. Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming.

94
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:46,000
How do you know she's in trouble? Did you ever think she might be breaking into the house? And maybe there's a guy with a gun and a car waiting for her.

95
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
I don't care. I just want to meet her.

96
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:59,000
I knew Matt was right. We probably should have minded our own business, but I couldn't help myself.

97
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Hi. Do you need any help?

98
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
I locked myself out.

99
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Are you sure this is your house?

100
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Ignore him. He's very distrusting.

101
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
I've lived here my whole life. I left my keys right there on the table.

102
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Hey, it happens. I lock myself out all the time. Don't worry. I'll get your keys.

103
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:35,000
I didn't even know how to break into a house, but I wanted to impress this woman. She was so absolutely beautiful.

104
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Got him.

105
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I got a bad feeling about this.

106
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
You got a bad feeling about everything, man.

107
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Okay. I'll give you that.

108
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Don't you look at this place. Not only is she gorgeous, but she's rich too.

109
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Why is there an echo?

110
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
It's a big room.

111
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
But it's furnished.

112
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Oh, hi. We didn't hear you coming.

113
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
I didn't know how to thank you. You both have been so helpful.

114
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
No big deal.

115
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
By the way, I'm Ben, and this is Matt.

116
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Weird.

117
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Beautiful place. Do you live here alone?

118
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
No, I live with my parents. They're way on business in Europe.

119
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Well, here's to misplaced keys and great new friendships.

120
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:35,000
So, do you go to school run here or anything like that?

121
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
No, not anymore.

122
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Oh, interesting. What kind of music do you like?

123
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Donna Summer, the Bee Gees.

124
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Great. Cool. Retro, very hip.

125
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It's cool.

126
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
So, I guess we'll see you around sometime.

127
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
What's your name again?

128
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Thank you very much for your help.

129
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
How is the weirdest woman I've ever met in my entire life?

130
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
She wouldn't tell us her name.

131
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Yeah, she's a little weird. That's what I like about her.

132
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
She's like a challenge.

133
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Yeah, maybe she'll let you shake her hand on the fifth date.

134
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
The next day I insisted we take the same jogging round.

135
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I wanted to see her again.

136
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
What happened to this house?

137
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Hey!

138
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
What happened to this house?

139
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
We were inside just yesterday and it was like new.

140
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Not this house.

141
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Wait a minute. I mean, maybe we're on the wrong street.

142
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
You must be.

143
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
No, this is the house. I'm sure of it.

144
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
That's impossible. This house has been closed up

145
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
ever since a young girl committed suicide in it 20 years ago.

146
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Her parents moved to Europe right after it happened.

147
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
They died early this year. Now the bank wants to sell it.

148
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Oh, wait.

149
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,000
We sat inside that house and drank lemonade with a beautiful living woman.

150
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
I got a key if you guys want to go take a look.

151
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Yeah.

152
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Let's go.

153
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
This has got to be a joke, right?

154
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
This has got to be some kind of joke.

155
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Look at that. Footprints. Somebody's been here.

156
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
That's my footprint.

157
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
But this isn't how it was.

158
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
I don't like this.

159
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I don't like this at all.

160
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Hey, Ben.

161
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
That's where our glasses were.

162
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Look.

163
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
What happened to the other imprint?

164
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Ben, it's really freaking me out.

165
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Hey, guys, the floor. Come here. Come here.

166
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Look at the floor.

167
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Oh, my God.

168
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
I'm so sorry.

169
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
I'm so sorry.

170
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I'm so sorry.

171
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
I'm so sorry.

172
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
I'm so sorry.

173
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
I'm so sorry.

174
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
I'm so sorry.

175
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
I'm so sorry.

176
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Did Ben and Matt really encounter a spirit from the hereafter?

177
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Were they really in that house the night before?

178
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
If so, how could the house have been boarded up and unused?

179
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Maybe they had their streets confused

180
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
and actually had visited a similar house on another block.

181
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
But then, how do you explain those footsteps in the dust?

182
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Is this story real,

183
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
or have we constructed a house of lies?

184
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
This is a stamp used by some police departments

185
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
to mark their casework as solved.

186
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Too many times, this stamp can't be used

187
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
due to blind leads, clever alibis, or unwilling witnesses.

188
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Many crimes remain a mystery forever.

189
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Detective Hank Rees is a legend among detectives.

190
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
He's never had an open-ended case,

191
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
but he's about to be faced with the most baffling crime of his career,

192
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,000
and he must call upon all his experience to put his stamp on it.

193
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
The Southern California beaches are the most beautiful in the world.

194
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
That's why I moved to a house on the water almost five years ago.

195
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Maybe it's because I'm a cop, but I like it when the beaches are clean and free of litter,

196
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
especially dead bodies.

197
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,000
She was my neighbor, but now she was a victim of a bullet in the chest.

198
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Hey, Hank, don't you live around here?

199
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Couple doors down. I've seen her a couple of times running on the beach with her dog.

200
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
What a waste.

201
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Shoppoint blanket close range. No sign of a struggle.

202
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Somebody just walked up and blew her away.

203
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I wonder why she didn't run.

204
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
No matter if she knew him or else he surprised her.

205
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Got some footprints.

206
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Stocking feet?

207
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
They head off down the beach and disappear at the high tide line.

208
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
I wonder why he took off his shoes.

209
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Maybe he didn't want to leave shoe prints.

210
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Maybe. I don't suppose there are any witnesses.

211
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
No, nobody even heard the gunshot.

212
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Wave's probably muffled her.

213
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000
She lived with her boyfriend. He's pretty shook up.

214
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
I probably should have stayed out of this one. It was literally too close to home.

215
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
But like I said, I don't like people who litter my beach.

216
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
So she wanted to go out jogging on the beach, but you were too tired.

217
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Yeah, that's it.

218
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
I usually go, but I was too wiped out. I had a 18 hour recording session yesterday.

219
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
I should have gone. Then this never would have happened.

220
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
How would your relationship?

221
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
What's that supposed to mean? I loved it. We were going to get married.

222
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
No arguments? No fights?

223
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Sure we had arguments. Everybody has arguments.

224
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Do we have arguments?

225
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Did you ever hit her?

226
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Never. I don't do that.

227
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
You think I killed her, don't you?

228
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Did you?

229
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm calling my lawyer.

230
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I loved her. I didn't kill her.

231
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Dino!

232
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,000
I didn't like this guy at all, but I guess we were even. His dog didn't like me.

233
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
What is it about dogs and me? It's been the same since I was a kid.

234
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
It's weird. He's usually very friendly.

235
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
I guess he doesn't like cops.

236
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000
I poured over every detail of the crime. The boyfriend took a polygraph test, but approved inconclusive.

237
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
I hated the pretty boy and his mutt, but I wasn't sure he was a murderer.

238
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
If he was guilty, though, he wasn't going to get away with it, not on my home turf.

239
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
All right.

240
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Harv, there is something not right about this case.

241
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
I can't put my finger on it.

242
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Tuna?

243
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
You got anything?

244
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
No. I found some blood and skin tissue under her fingernails.

245
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
You find a suspect, we can go for a DNA match.

246
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Anything else?

247
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
So far, that's it. Besides the slug.

248
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
You're not going to get much out of this. It's a 9mm.

249
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Every crook in the country carries a 9mm. It's standard equipment.

250
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
All right. Thanks.

251
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Hey, Hank.

252
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Yeah?

253
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Drop this at evidence for me, would you? Save me a trip.

254
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
All right. Take it into him tomorrow morning.

255
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
I was exhausted. For the past several months, I've been waking up tired.

256
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
My supervisor had been begging me to take some time off.

257
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Maybe I would, but only after I took care of this mess on my beach.

258
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,000
For some reason, all my dreams were turning into horrible nightmares.

259
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
I would relive each crime that I was investigating in every grisly detail.

260
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,000
I felt like I needed a nap, and I feared inside what my dream would be.

261
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
It was like all my other dreams. Too real for a cop to feel every time he closes his eyes.

262
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
It was the victim running along, full of youth and life.

263
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And then suddenly she sees somebody she knows.

264
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Maybe it was that lousy boyfriend of hers.

265
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And then, it's always so damn true.

266
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Ah!

267
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
It's always so damn true.

268
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
It was a panic attack. I'd had him before.

269
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
I had to calm down so I could think clearly.

270
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
My clothes were soaked with sweat. I had to get out of them.

271
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
That's when I saw it for the first time.

272
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
I must have done it myself in my dream.

273
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Where the hell did these come from?

274
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Oh, man. I need a shower and some sleep.

275
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
My socks were damp and sandy.

276
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
I'm sorry.

277
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
No. It can't be.

278
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
I still had the bullet with me.

279
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Every crook in the country carries a 9mm, but so do the cops.

280
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
I had to find out if what I was thinking could possibly be true.

281
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I found the spent slug in the page that lists emergency numbers.

282
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
I held it up against the murder bullet.

283
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
A perfect match.

284
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I wake up tired every morning because I sleepwalk every night.

285
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,000
The murderer was me.

286
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Could this be true?

287
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Could a man commit a crime and not know it?

288
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Have you ever heard of a crime?

289
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Have you ever experienced a sleepwalking episode,

290
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
either by you or somebody near you?

291
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
It can be quite startling.

292
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Sleepwalkers have been known to get dressed, drive a car, even eat dinner,

293
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
all while sound asleep.

294
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Did this story of the cop who discovers his own guilt sound true to you?

295
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Or are we guilty of deception?

296
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
We'll find out if this story is true or false at the end of our show.

297
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Next, a church choir has a rendezvous with Destiny on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

298
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Time is on our minds.

299
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Perhaps too much these days.

300
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Timers, alarm clocks, calendars, day planners,

301
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
all geared to tell us where we have to be.

302
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Of course, sometimes we actually look forward to these appointments.

303
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
We make sure we set time aside for them.

304
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
For some, it's a bowling night.

305
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,000
For others, a card game or perhaps a weekly lunch with close friends.

306
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
For the members of the St. Mordecai Baptist Church,

307
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
it was the weekly choir practice, 7 p.m. every Thursday,

308
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
a joyful time to create a joyful noise.

309
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Sister Louise Pittman and her mighty rays of joy

310
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
have been singing together for the past ten years at St. Mordecai's Baptist Church.

311
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
They pride themselves on their perfect pitch,

312
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
and Sister Louise prides herself on having perfect control.

313
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
I will pray every time

314
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000
I hear the spirit

315
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
moving in my heart

316
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
I will pray

317
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

318
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Yeah, well, how was that, Louise?

319
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
It sounded good to me.

320
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Excuse me, James. Is your name Louise?

321
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And are you the head of the squad?

322
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I don't think so.

323
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
I'm sorry, Louise. I got a little carried away by my solo.

324
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
I think it sounded particularly clear this evening.

325
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Particularly.

326
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Oh, it was clear, all right.

327
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Uh-huh. It was clear you were going for a solo career.

328
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
You know what I would do, baby?

329
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
I'd pull back just a little bit,

330
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
because remember, you are a part of a group.

331
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Yes, ma'am.

332
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000
All right?

333
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
You know it's getting late,

334
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
so I don't see any point in starting a new song.

335
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
I'll see you all on Sunday.

336
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
First service, 8 a.m.

337
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Yes, ma'am.

338
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Hello.

339
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
There she goes again.

340
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Every week she tells us the same thing.

341
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,000
I mean, we've been together 10 years.

342
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000
We know the schedule.

343
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
You know how she is about punctuality.

344
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Be on time. I lose it.

345
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Remember that Sunday, 8 a.m.

346
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
and on Thursday rehearsal as usual, 7 p.m. sharp.

347
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Be on time or lose a dime.

348
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
The week passed quickly, and then it was Thursday.

349
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Choir rehearsal night once again.

350
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Lawrence left an important business meeting early

351
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
so that he could get to rehearsal on time.

352
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
And Shelly was preoccupied on the phone.

353
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
You can't keep letting him push you around.

354
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Oh, wait a minute.

355
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
No choir practice tonight.

356
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
No, I've got plenty of time.

357
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Now, where was I?

358
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Oh, yeah.

359
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,000
If he was my man,

360
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000
the line in the sand would be drawn.

361
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Calvin was waiting in front of his house

362
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,000
for James to pick him up.

363
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,000
It was always like this.

364
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Calvin pacing impatiently

365
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
while James shows up at the last minute.

366
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
The same ritual they went through every Thursday night.

367
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
But this time, James was actually ahead of schedule.

368
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Well, I think we're going to be early.

369
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Hey, better early than late, right?

370
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
You knew this right.

371
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
However, Lawrence was not having any luck at all.

372
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
His engine refused to turn on.

373
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
This cannot be happening.

374
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Not on Thursday. Hard.

375
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Sister Louise lived within walking distance of the church.

376
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Every Thursday night,

377
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
she would leave promptly at 6.40

378
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
knowing that she would hit the first step of the church

379
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
at exactly 6.55.

380
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
She always liked arriving five minutes early,

381
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
set a good example.

382
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Do you believe this?

383
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Two blowouts at the same time.

384
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
What are the odds that this happened?

385
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
We better take pictures, man.

386
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Sister Louise is going to want proof.

387
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Right on schedule.

388
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
I told you what I thought you should do.

389
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Okay, okay. I understand you love the man.

390
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Uh-huh.

391
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Wait a minute. What time do you have?

392
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
10 to 7? Oh no, my clock stopped on a Thursday, girl.

393
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
I gotta go. I'll talk to you later.

394
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Excuse me. You're going to have to move that barricade.

395
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000
I got to get through here right now.

396
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's not possible.

397
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
See, the rain last night undercut the street,

398
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
and now we've got a big sinkhole.

399
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
I mean, it's just not safe.

400
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
But that means I'm going to have to take the long way

401
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
around the St. Mordecai.

402
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
That's right, ma'am.

403
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Well, that's going to make me late for choir practice.

404
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,000
I'm sorry.

405
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
No, darling, you don't understand.

406
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
I haven't been late once in ten years.

407
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Give me strength, Lord. Give me strength.

408
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
What the Lord did provide for Sister Louise

409
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
was a lift on an emergency vehicle.

410
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
And even with that, she arrived at the church

411
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
after her sacred starting time of 7 p.m.

412
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
I'm sorry.

413
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
What happened?

414
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Gas main broke.

415
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
The church blew up ten minutes ago.

416
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Is everybody all right?

417
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Yeah, we're all right.

418
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Okay.

419
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
The strangest thing happened.

420
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000
It's the first time we've all been late in ten years.

421
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Praise the Lord.

422
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Every member of the choir had a problem that night.

423
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
An ironic circumstance that not only kept them

424
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
from being in the church at 7 p.m.,

425
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,000
it also kept them alive.

426
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Is it mere coincidence that every member of the choir

427
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
was saved on the same night?

428
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Or is it possible that a higher spirit

429
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
was protecting this group of inspirational singers?

430
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
What's your judgment on this story of the choir

431
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
who escaped certain tragedy?

432
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Is it a work of fiction or gospel truth?

433
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
We'll find out if this story is true or false

434
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
at the end of our show.

435
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Next, a chair comes complete with a rich history

436
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
and a terrible curse on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

437
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Do you believe in the power of a curse?

438
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Lava rocks from a volcano in Maui

439
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
said to be ruled by the goddess Pele

440
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
had been known to bring misfortune

441
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
to people who take them home as souvenirs.

442
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Precious jewelry, like this diamond,

443
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,000
has brought misfortune to its wealthy owners

444
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,000
through the centuries.

445
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
And what about this unusually shaped chair?

446
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
It was originally designed for cold rooms

447
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
to protect people from drafts.

448
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
But as for this particular chair,

449
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
protection is the last thing it provides.

450
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Steel magnet George Talbot III

451
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
inherited a billion-dollar business from his late father.

452
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
He spent most of his time traveling the world

453
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
in search of priceless relics.

454
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Like so many sons of the rich, he was foiled rotten.

455
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
That's why he was one of my favorite clients.

456
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
But this time, George's obsession had gone too far.

457
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
It's here.

458
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
How are you?

459
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Right through here.

460
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
And we're going right through the search, right?

461
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Even though I was making a sizable commission

462
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
by procuring this chair on his behalf,

463
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000
I was very afraid of the reputation that came along with it.

464
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Sir, put it right over there.

465
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Careful, careful, careful.

466
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
George Talbot had just become the current owner

467
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
of the hooded chair.

468
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
I could only pray for his well-being.

469
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
It's really the perfect addition to your collection, Mr. Talbot.

470
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Yes, yes it is.

471
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
I tried to put up a good front,

472
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
but I was frightened by his behavior.

473
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
As he circled his latest possession,

474
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
he seemed to be falling under some kind of spell.

475
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
I only hoped he wouldn't be tempted to defy the fates.

476
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Uh, you're not going to sit in that, are you?

477
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Why not?

478
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
I certainly don't believe in that ridiculous curse

479
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
that's attached to it.

480
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
But I did, I wouldn't have had you buy it now, would I?

481
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Say?

482
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Nothing.

483
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
It's not very comfortable.

484
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
I certainly don't feel cursed.

485
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
I would like to see that list of the previous owners, please.

486
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Oh, I'm working on it,

487
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
and it's been really hard to track all of them down.

488
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
This chair is over 300 years old,

489
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
and there have been a lot of owners.

490
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Just get me the list, Miss Weisman.

491
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
That's what I pay you for.

492
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Yes, sir.

493
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
I wasn't there the next day,

494
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
but I've heard the story many times.

495
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Jenny, the downstairs maid,

496
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
let her curiosity get the best of her.

497
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
It's too hard.

498
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
That chair is not for you to sit in, Jenny.

499
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
It is for me and my guests.

500
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Do you understand?

501
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Yes, sir.

502
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
I just wanted to see what it felt like.

503
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
I'm sorry.

504
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Another week went by at the Talbot house,

505
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
and then came the news.

506
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Hello?

507
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
What?

508
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
How...

509
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
How did it happen?

510
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Jenny was killed by a drunk driver

511
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
while crossing the street just one week

512
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
after George Talbot found her sitting in the hooded chair.

513
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
It's impossible.

514
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
He refused to believe that the chair

515
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,000
had anything to do with Jenny's untimely death,

516
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
but in the deep recesses of his mind,

517
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
he had his suspicions.

518
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
The next week, his close friend, Eric, came to visit.

519
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
He insisted on sitting in the chair

520
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,000
over Mr. Talbot's strenuous objections.

521
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Two days later, Eric Cates was piloting his private plane

522
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
to a new place.

523
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
He was on the plane,

524
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
and later, Eric Cates was piloting his private plane

525
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
to a meeting in upstate New York.

526
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
The plane's engine suddenly failed for no reason,

527
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
sending him to a fiery death.

528
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
The chair had claimed another victim.

529
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000
For the next month,

530
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
George Talbot's life continued to get increasingly worse.

531
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Talbot's steel was besieged by lawsuits

532
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
and teetered on the brink of bankruptcy.

533
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
It was becoming too much for Talbot.

534
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Everything his father had built, he was about to lose.

535
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Mr. Talbot?

536
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
What do you want?

537
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Are you all right?

538
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000
I found the documentation about the chair.

539
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
I could come back.

540
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
No, no, I want to see that right away.

541
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
You won't believe it.

542
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Amazing, isn't it?

543
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
That's Napoleon.

544
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Look at the date.

545
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,000
June 17th, 1815.

546
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Napoleon was in a farmhouse in Belgium

547
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,000
planning strategy for his battle the next day.

548
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
That battle was in a place called Waterloo.

549
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Mr. Talbot, this chair is part of history.

550
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Napoleon used it before the greatest military defeat of all time.

551
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
It is cursed.

552
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
The chair is cursed.

553
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Mr. Talbot, can I get you anything? Are you all right?

554
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,000
No, no, leave me be.

555
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Leave me be.

556
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
You're not gonna get me.

557
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,000
I will not be destroyed by a chair.

558
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
So what is the truth here?

559
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Was the hooded chair really cursed?

560
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Wasn't the same chair Napoleon sat on before he met his Waterloo?

561
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Or was that just another chair with a similar design?

562
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
And what about the misfortune that befell Talbot?

563
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Was it due to the chair or just coincidence?

564
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Maybe this story is totally made up and this chair has no curse at all.

565
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
But then again, why take chances?

566
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
It may stand up as truth.

567
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Coming up, we'll find out which of our stories tonight were fact

568
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,000
and which were fiction when Beyond Belief returns.

569
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Now it's time to review our stories and reveal which ones were false

570
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
and which ones were inspired by actual events.

571
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000
The story of the animatronic gorilla with a mind of its own.

572
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Did this one really happen?

573
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Hey, hey, come on.

574
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Shut down.

575
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Hey, hey, shut down. Come on.

576
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Shut down. Come on.

577
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Hey, come on. Come on.

578
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Hey, hey, hey.

579
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Did you guess that a similar story to this one did occur?

580
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Not this time. It never happened.

581
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,000
And how about the two men, the mansion and the spirit of a woman they met?

582
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
So I guess we'll see you around sometime.

583
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
What's your name again?

584
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Thank you very much for your help.

585
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:25,000
If you thought this one was based on a real event, we got you. It never happened.

586
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,000
And what about the detective who found that the murderer he was seeking was himself?

587
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Is there really a recorded case of a policeman who found himself guilty and then booked himself for murder?

588
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Yes, there is. A similar event took place.

589
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Now let's take a second look at the story of the church choir that mysteriously escaped tragedy. True or false?

590
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
What happened?

591
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Gas main broke. The church blew up ten minutes ago.

592
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Is everybody alright?

593
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Yeah, we're alright.

594
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Okay. Strangest thing happened.

595
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,000
It's the first time we've all been late in ten years.

596
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Praise the Lord.

597
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Did a similar incident to this one actually happen to a church choir?

598
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Yes, it did. This one took place.

599
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,000
And how about the chair whose curse had been handed down from the days of Napoleon?

600
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
I'm sorry.

601
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
You're not gonna get me.

602
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,000
I will not be destroyed by a chair.

603
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000
If you thought we made this one up, you've met your waterloo.

604
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,000
The tale of this chair was inspired by a true story.

605
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Were you able to spot the truth tonight?

606
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Or were you taken in by illusion?

607
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Sometimes the difference can be so slight.

608
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Who can blame one for finding the conclusions beyond belief?

609
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000
I'm Jonathan Franks.

610
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
