1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120
B-I-N-T

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:12,900
Beyond belief, fact, or fiction?

3
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:18,040
Hosted by Jonathan Frakes.

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,960
Tonight your challenge is to separate what is true from what is false.

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,720
Five stories, some real, some fake.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,880
Can you judge which are fact and which are fiction?

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,520
To find out, you must enter a world of both truth and deception,

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800
a world that is beyond belief.

9
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,200
Is the truth always easy to see?

10
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,520
Take this picture.

11
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Viewed from this angle, it appears to be a dramatic seascape.

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:55,920
However.

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,360
Take this vase.

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,360
Place it on the picture and observe.

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,960
The clear reflection of a man with a beard.

16
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,320
It happens to be the face of legendary science fiction

17
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,560
writer Jules Verne, the man who knew well the blurry line

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,720
between fact and fantasy.

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,880
Tonight, you will see stories that may be inspired by actual events

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,920
or they may be clever lies.

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,160
But in judging them, be careful of what they may seem to be

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,720
for like this picture, there may be hidden truths

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,200
contained within.

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,760
A fact which should give you pause for reflection.

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,720
They come in strips, sticks, tubes, and kits.

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,720
They inform you with dots, streaks, colors, and symbols.

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Today's home pregnancy tests are available everywhere

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,480
and can be purchased right alongside the beer and potato chips.

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,640
In fact, these modern versions are said to be over 99% accurate.

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Yet one percentage point still leaves room for doubt.

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,560
Take 18-year-old Marissa Baker.

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,440
Her body is starting to feel different these days.

33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,160
But whether she's pregnant or not,

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,440
will soon be put to a terrifying test.

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,080
This is our home in Del Mar, California.

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Until that terrifying summer, it was quiet and peaceful.

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,640
Our daughter Marissa had just graduated

38
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,760
from high school that June.

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,880
She was starting college in the fall.

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,840
But until then, she was determined

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,480
to have the summer of her young life.

42
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,280
My husband Glenn and I were beginning

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,440
to suspect that she had gotten herself

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,240
into a bad situation.

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Marissa, what's wrong?

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,360
It's her stomach again, isn't it?

47
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,960
This has been going on for three weeks now.

48
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,000
It can't be the flu.

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,200
Glenn, we both know what it is.

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,560
We just don't want to face it.

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Marissa's been spending a lot of time with Jason.

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Maybe they messed up.

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880
It could be morning sickness.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,920
We're going to have to talk with her.

55
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:00,840
I know she doesn't want to talk to us about anything.

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,600
But she's going to have to talk to us about this.

57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Glenn, let me do it.

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,680
We're getting upset.

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,080
All right.

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,080
You talk to her.

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Marissa?

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Sweetie?

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,120
I'm not pregnant.

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,480
I can't even believe me.

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,640
It's just that all the symptoms are there.

66
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,120
Now your father and I are trying to figure this whole thing out,

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,400
and it's something to explore.

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,160
There's nothing to explore, OK?

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,880
It's no big deal.

70
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,520
I got some kind of flu bug or something,

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,560
but I'm feeling better now.

72
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,320
I'm sure it's going away.

73
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,000
Marissa, we just want you to know that we're here for you.

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,640
If there's anything you want to talk about.

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,960
There's nothing to talk about, mom.

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,800
I'm not pregnant.

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,120
As the days passed, Marissa began to have strange cravings,

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,120
and nothing seemed to satisfy her enormous appetite.

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Over the next few weeks, her clothes

80
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,640
became harder and harder to fit into.

81
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Marissa had always watched her figure.

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Now her waistline was out of control.

83
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,120
What is happening to me?

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,720
There is no other explanation, Marissa.

85
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,720
You must be pregnant.

86
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,720
So let's move out of denial and into reality.

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,120
You and Jason made a mistake.

88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,120
I know what it must look like, but it's impossible.

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,120
I never had this sex with Jason or anyone, I swear.

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120
We want to believe you, Marissa.

91
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,120
Oh, you can give me a whole pregnancy test.

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,120
That will prove I'm telling the truth.

93
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,120
Well, according to this, you're not pregnant.

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,120
She's not.

95
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Oh, what's wrong?

96
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Something moved.

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Well, there's definitely something there.

98
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,120
What do you think it is, Dr. Saperstein?

99
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,120
I don't want to alarm you, but it looks like a large cyst.

100
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120
It's just such an odd shape.

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,120
I've never seen anything like it before.

102
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,120
Cyst?

103
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,120
What about the movement I was feeling?

104
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Oh, that was probably a muscle spasm, or some gas.

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,120
It wasn't a muscle spasm, or gas.

106
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Marissa, the test came back negative.

107
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,120
You're not pregnant.

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,120
What about this tumor or cyst or whatever it is?

109
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,120
What do we do about it?

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,120
Well, I recommend that we go in and remove it as quickly as possible.

111
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Mom, is she going to be all right?

112
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Marissa's a strong young woman.

113
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,120
Whatever it is, recovery will be quick.

114
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Beep.

115
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Are we good to go?

116
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Yes, Doctor.

117
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,120
OK.

118
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Skapple.

119
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Skapple.

120
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Spongid, please.

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,120
All right, follow me.

122
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Great suction.

123
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,120
Thank you.

124
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Doing great.

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Let me get the retractors in here.

126
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,120
We're in.

127
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,120
All right.

128
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,120
Let's get the clamps in there.

129
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Here we go.

130
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,120
Doing great.

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,120
Let's see now.

132
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,120
Let's find this.

133
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,120
All right, need some room?

134
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,120
And there it is.

135
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Skapple.

136
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,120
Skapple.

137
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,120
Whoa, that's strange.

138
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,120
It feels like it's moving.

139
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,120
Oh, my God.

140
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Doctor, what is it?

141
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,120
Oh, my God.

142
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,120
It's a baby octopus.

143
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,120
Oh, my God.

144
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,120
Doctor, what is it?

145
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Oh, my God.

146
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,120
It's a baby octopus.

147
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120
The doctors came up with the only explanation that made sense.

148
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Marissa had been spending a lot of time swimming in the ocean that summer.

149
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,120
She must have swallowed a fertilized octopus egg,

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,120
and her body provided the incubator for its development.

151
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,120
Our daughter is fully recovered now,

152
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
but we'll never get the nightmare out of our minds.

153
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,120
The story of Just Scene was suppressed for years,

154
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,120
and is still too long.

155
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,120
But it's still a long story.

156
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,120
The story of Just Scene was suppressed for years,

157
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,120
and is still denied by the medical community.

158
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,120
But let's be clear about one thing.

159
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120
No one is claiming that Marissa gave birth to an octopus,

160
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,120
only that one was surgically removed from inside her body.

161
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Despite the contradictions and cover-ups by those involved,

162
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120
can this really be possible?

163
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Can a fertilized octopus egg ingested into the human system

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120
actually grow inside the body?

165
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Certainly other organisms can.

166
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Parasites, such as tapeworms,

167
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,120
can be found inside the human bones.

168
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Do you accept this tale of an octopus

169
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,120
who lived inside a human being is true?

170
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,120
Or is there something fishy going on here?

171
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,120
We'll find out if this story is true or false at the end of our show.

172
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,120
Next, a real estate agent sells a house with a curse

173
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,120
on beyond belief, fact, or fiction.

174
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,120
Have you noticed what big stars real estate agents have become?

175
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120
You see their names and faces on billboards, on benches,

176
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,120
and in every Sunday newspaper.

177
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Is it any wonder with star treatment like this

178
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,120
that many real estate agents begin to act like stars themselves?

179
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Bev Conklin is a true star of the real estate world.

180
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,120
To see her fast-talking, charming spiel is like witnessing a high-wire act.

181
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,120
But in this case, Bev isn't working without a net.

182
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,120
She's working without a conscience.

183
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,120
I'd never met a woman like Bev Conklin before.

184
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,120
I wish I never had.

185
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Bev was the number one real estate agent on the East Coast.

186
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,120
She could sell anything, except Hampton Manor.

187
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,120
I didn't know it at the time, but the Manor was cursed.

188
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,120
All five previous owners of the house

189
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,120
were the real estate agents.

190
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120
I didn't know it at the time, but the Manor was cursed.

191
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,120
All five previous owners had met with horrible misfortune.

192
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,120
By the time I started house hunting, Hampton Manor was up for sale again.

193
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,120
My wife and I were fresh from the city.

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,120
To Bev, we must look like hors d'oeuvres on a train, ready to be devoured.

195
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:46,120
As we closed the deal on Hampton Manor, Bev never mentioned any curse.

196
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Martha and I have been wanting to move out of Manhattan for years,

197
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,120
but we just couldn't find the right house.

198
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Well, you certainly found it in Hampton Manor, Don.

199
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,120
I can't get over the fabulous deal you got us, Bev.

200
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,120
I keep thinking there has to be something wrong with the whole place,

201
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,120
but the inspection checked out fine.

202
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Of course it did. Bev Conklin only sells the best.

203
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,120
I envy you both.

204
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,120
I just wish I could afford a home like Hampton Manor.

205
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Will you invite me over once in a while for a cup of coffee so I can drool?

206
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,120
You've got a deal, Bev.

207
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Congratulations.

208
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,120
Bye, Don. Bye, Martha.

209
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120
Bye-bye. Drive safe, now.

210
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Yes! Yes! Yes!

211
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,120
You did it.

212
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120
What? What? Is it?

213
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,120
I just can't believe you didn't tell those people about the curse of Hampton Manor.

214
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,120
Oh, give me a break, Cheena. Really.

215
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,120
There's no such thing as a cursed house, so those other owners had some bad luck.

216
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120
It happens. It's not my fault.

217
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,120
I just think you should have said something.

218
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,120
There's nothing in the real estate code of ethics that says anything about

219
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,120
divulging dumb superstitions to potential buyers.

220
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,120
I would have told them about the curse.

221
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Curse merged. It's a sale.

222
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Now, you watch.

223
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120
My Maccles are gonna love that place.

224
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,120
I bet I get a lot of referrals from that couple.

225
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Come on, go.

226
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,120
I didn't see Bev Conklin again for almost six months.

227
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,120
But by this time, things were very different.

228
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Who's that sitting at my desk?

229
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,120
That's Mr. Mackel.

230
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,120
Who?

231
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120
The one that you sold Hampton Manor to.

232
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Remember?

233
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,120
Oh, the rich stockbroker.

234
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,120
Hmm. He certainly looked better.

235
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,120
Okay.

236
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Oh, Mr. Mackel, what are you doing here?

237
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,120
In the market for a summer home, perhaps?

238
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Something on the cake?

239
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Oh, my.

240
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,120
What happened to you?

241
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Ever since I took ownership of Hampton Manor my life,

242
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,120
has gone to ruin.

243
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,120
All my stocks and bonds collapsed.

244
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,120
My clients abandoned me.

245
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,120
My wife left me for another man.

246
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,120
And I've developed a bleeding ulcer that causes me constant pain.

247
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,120
That's all very sad.

248
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,120
But what is it you want of me?

249
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:36,120
I finally learned from the neighbors about the curse of Hampton Manor.

250
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,120
Oh, that, really.

251
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Why? Why didn't you tell me about it before you sold it to me?

252
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,120
That was not my responsibility.

253
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,120
Now, honestly, Mr. Mackel, you can't blame your bad luck on me.

254
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,120
A house is a house.

255
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120
There is no such thing as a curse.

256
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,120
I want the Manor sold immediately.

257
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Oh, well, if you want me to represent you as your agent, that's different.

258
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Of course, you understand it's going to take a while to find a buyer.

259
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,120
I mean, that is a very special house.

260
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,120
No!

261
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120
It has to be done today, immediately.

262
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,120
Oh, my God. You must be kidding.

263
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,120
I can't find a buyer today.

264
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,120
If I own that house a moment longer, I know.

265
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120
I'll die.

266
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:33,120
Well, if you'd let it go for 300,000, I'd be glad to take it off your hands today.

267
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,120
But that's less than half of what I paid for it.

268
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
I know.

269
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:55,120
All right. All right. It's a deal.

270
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:01,120
Oh, Tom, and you are going to be so happy because I'm going to save you so much time in escrow.

271
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,120
I can do it all right here.

272
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,120
I signed over the deed, making Bev Conklin the owner of Hampton Manor.

273
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,120
She was only too happy to take it off my hands.

274
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,120
But then again, she didn't believe in curses.

275
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:27,120
I never saw Bev again, but her assistant, Gina, who definitely believed in the curse, told me the rest of the story.

276
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,120
The place is fabulous. I may never sell it.

277
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120
The bathroom alone is worth the price of the mortgage.

278
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Oh, now I wish I was still taking Reggie. Such a nice big tub.

279
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Bev, don't you feel weird about poor Mr. Mackle?

280
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,120
Why should I? He's completely nuts. The place is great.

281
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,120
Aren't you scared?

282
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,120
I told you I haven't had one single problem.

283
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,120
You haven't?

284
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,120
No. Not whatsoever.

285
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,120
That's great.

286
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,120
Oh, you stop already. There is no curse.

287
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,120
Well, hope you're right, Max.

288
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,120
I know you're just a little bit too scared to tell me.

289
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,120
You know, seriously, I'm just hard of hearing.

290
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,120
I'm gonna do a lucky number.

291
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120
Maybe that will break the curse.

292
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,120
Bev?

293
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,120
Are you all right?

294
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,120
Bev?

295
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,120
Bev?

296
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Did Hampton Manor really have a curse, or was Bev Conklin just a victim of bad luck?

297
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,120
But then how do you explain the misfortune of every other owner of the property?

298
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,120
Could they all just have been unlucky people?

299
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Oh, here's something else to ponder.

300
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,120
We've changed the name and location of Hampton Manor for story purposes,

301
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,120
but the home we'd based it on had a similar curse.

302
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,120
A very wealthy couple bought it in the early 80s.

303
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,120
At the time, they scoffed at the curse, and why not?

304
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:09,120
They owned hotels, skyscrapers, and businesses all over the world.

305
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:12,120
Within a short time after moving into their new home,

306
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:15,120
their empire crumbled and dissolved.

307
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:18,120
Their names, Harry and Leona Helmsley.

308
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:34,120
Of all the instruments of capital punishment, surely the most fiendish is the guillotine.

309
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:37,120
The sentence prisoner would place his or her head here,

310
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:40,120
affectionately known as the chopping block,

311
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,120
and then a blade sharpened so fine it could slice a human hair in half,

312
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:47,120
would be released by the executioner.

313
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,120
The result?

314
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:53,120
A dramatic slice of life.

315
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:57,120
Of course, the guillotine has been out of fashion for a while,

316
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,120
but its legend is still with us.

317
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,120
Pierre Saint-Jacques is a student of history.

318
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:04,120
As a creator of wax figures, he has to be.

319
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:08,120
His latest project is the beheading of French monarch Marie Antoinette.

320
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:11,120
And he's praying history does not repeat itself.

321
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:25,120
The world famous Le Fonds,

322
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:29,120
the name is considered by connoisseurs to be one of the finest of its kind.

323
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:33,120
Whether they're duplicating movie sets, famous moments from history,

324
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,120
the attention to detail is legendary.

325
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:38,120
Down to the last bolt.

326
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,120
The creative force behind the success of the Le Fonds wax exhibits

327
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,120
was wax sculptor Pierre Saint-Jacques.

328
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:49,120
Pierre was not only a genius at his work,

329
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,120
he was an absolute perfectionist.

330
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,120
He was so obsessive and demanding that the only one

331
00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:00,120
who could tolerate his high strong behavior was his loyal brother, Andre.

332
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:04,120
Together, they have prepared the precise details

333
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:07,120
for the newest masterpiece in Pierre's acclaimed career,

334
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:10,120
the beheading of Marie Antoinette.

335
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,120
Pierre.

336
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,120
Finally, it's arrived.

337
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:27,120
This is the exact duplicate of the blade

338
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,120
that separated poor Marie Antoinette's head from her body.

339
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:35,120
Do you really think the public cares if it's real or not?

340
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,120
I care, and that's all that matters.

341
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,120
Pierre's outbursts were familiar to Andre.

342
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:52,120
He dismissed them as the necessary release of an artistic temperament.

343
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:55,120
Besides, Pierre was the one the talent

344
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:58,120
so Andre chose to tolerate his behavior.

345
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:01,120
Andre? Andre!

346
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:04,120
Why did you put the executioner in position so soon?

347
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,120
I don't want him here yet.

348
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:09,120
I didn't. The last time I looked, he was back there.

349
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,120
Well, someone moved him here.

350
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:15,120
Pierre, if I did move him, wouldn't there be footprints in the dirt?

351
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:19,120
Can't you see? The surface is perfectly smooth.

352
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:26,120
Or I can be bothered with this now.

353
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,120
Did you ever think you would become immortal, Marie?

354
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:45,120
If this height looked, height felt,

355
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,120
I closed it, I thought.

356
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:52,120
And what was going through your head those last few moments?

357
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,120
Pierre, are you all right?

358
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:03,120
I think so. It's all happened so quickly.

359
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,120
Look.

360
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:14,120
Someone is pulling a prank.

361
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:21,120
Maybe they're still inside the museum.

362
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:31,120
Pierre and Andre searched the entire museum but could find no one else there.

363
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,120
The doors were still bolted from the inside so nobody could have left.

364
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:37,120
The brothers agreed that it must have been a freak accident

365
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:39,120
and went on with their work.

366
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:43,120
They wanted to put their fear aside that somehow the wax executioner

367
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:45,120
could be possessed of an evil spirit.

368
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,120
It's a great opening.

369
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:52,120
Yes.

370
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:54,120
Congratulations, brother.

371
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:55,120
Thank you.

372
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,120
It's everything I dreamed it would be.

373
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,120
Did you hear the comments about how realistic the exhibits are?

374
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,120
Especially my Marie Antoinette.

375
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,120
Yes, Pierre, I heard the comments.

376
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:11,120
Perhaps now finally you understand the importance of my perfectionism.

377
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:13,120
Perhaps.

378
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:22,120
Can you imagine how horrible that must have been to have your head chopped off?

379
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:24,120
I think it's kind of cool.

380
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:26,120
I wonder what they did with all the heads.

381
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,120
That is so sick.

382
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,120
You know it would be the bomb.

383
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,120
What?

384
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,120
A picture with your head.

385
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,120
Are you crazy?

386
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,120
Come on Chrissy, I've got two shots left on the roll.

387
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:39,120
It's not like it's real.

388
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,120
It's all wax.

389
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:42,120
Well, why me?

390
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:43,120
Why are you doing it?

391
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,120
Because it's gotta be a girl.

392
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,120
We're recreating the beheading of Marie Antoinette.

393
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,120
Come on, I hope you're so cool.

394
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,120
Okay, but let me know if somebody's coming.

395
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:01,120
Okay, I'm going to go.

396
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,120
Okay, okay.

397
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,120
Kneel down and put your head on the block.

398
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:13,120
This is too weird.

399
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,120
Take the picture.

400
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:15,120
Wait a minute.

401
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:16,120
Wait a minute.

402
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,120
I can't get everything in.

403
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:21,120
Dave, will you just take the picture?

404
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,120
Okay, okay, but it's not going to work unless you look more scared.

405
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,120
Hurry up!

406
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:30,120
Chrissy!

407
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:33,120
Chrissy!

408
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:39,120
What happened?

409
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:40,120
Are you okay?

410
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:46,120
I was afraid there might be another accident,

411
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:49,120
so I replaced the real blade with one made of balsa wood.

412
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,120
Thank you, André.

413
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,120
Now I suggest we would place the executioner.

414
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,120
Did this story really happen?

415
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:24,120
Or was it merely overworked imaginations

416
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:27,120
that made the two men begin to see things in their own exhibit?

417
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:31,120
And why were there no footprints showing the executioner had moved?

418
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:34,120
Was there a demented villain working behind the scenes?

419
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:38,120
Or perhaps there are no explanations to be found in the real world?

420
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:42,120
Will this story of the wax figure withstand the lasting test of truth?

421
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:44,120
Or will it always said and done?

422
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:46,120
Will it simply melt away?

423
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:51,120
We'll find out if this story is true or false at the end of our show.

424
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:57,120
Next, a hospital becomes a bloody nightmare on beyond belief, fact, or fiction.

425
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:01,120
To many seriously ill people, these bags mean life itself.

426
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:04,120
A steady drip, drip, drip of these life-giving liquids

427
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:08,120
provide the beat of life for patients in critical condition.

428
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:13,120
But cut off that nourishment, and the beat goes off.

429
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:18,120
Nurse Gwen Buckbinder is used to patients who need nourishment to survive.

430
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:23,120
But a new patient has just checked onto her floor, and his medical needs are about to go off the chart.

431
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:30,120
I'd been working the midnight to seven shift at St. Francis County for the past five years.

432
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:36,120
I'd seen a lot of strange cases, but nothing prepared me for what came in late one night.

433
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:42,120
It was just another John Derrow, but this one was suffering from severe malnutrition and acute anemia.

434
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:45,120
He was so far gone I didn't think he was going to make it.

435
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:52,120
He refused all solid food and was being sustained on glucose IVs and blood plasma transfers.

436
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:57,120
But now, only 24 hours later, his vitals were remarkably up.

437
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:00,120
It looked like he was going to pull through.

438
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:04,120
If you eat some solid food, you'd recover a lot quicker, you know.

439
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,120
No appetite yet? Huh?

440
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:19,120
If you need anything, just push your button. I'm on till seven.

441
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:36,120
The following night I was on my rounds when I thought I heard voices coming from inside room 621.

442
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,120
It was two in the morning, long past visiting hours.

443
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,120
I was on my way to the hospital.

444
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:57,120
Who are you?

445
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:00,120
And what are you doing here?

446
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:06,120
Oh, they have the canes. They are here to see Eric.

447
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:10,120
Eric? His name is Eric Crito.

448
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:13,120
He did odd jobs for us around the house.

449
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:17,120
We became worried last week when he did not show up.

450
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:22,120
So we went to police. They sent us here.

451
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:28,120
Please leave. I want to spend some time with my friends. Alone.

452
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:30,120
It is way past visiting hours.

453
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:33,120
I'm sorry. They were not aware.

454
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:38,120
Please give us some time. Alone.

455
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:47,120
All right. I will break the rules, but just this once.

456
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,120
Thank you, my dear.

457
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,120
So now I knew the John Doe's name, Eric Craton.

458
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:02,120
But what was really going on in room 621?

459
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:06,120
It seemed like more than just a visit from a couple of old friends.

460
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:10,120
And what was that creepy old man doing in the bathroom?

461
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:22,120
Excuse me. Excuse me. Could you hold one second, please?

462
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:31,120
I was determined to get to the bottom of this.

463
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,120
But I had every right to check that bathroom.

464
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:41,120
This was the safest time to do it without causing an incident.

465
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,120
This patient definitely had me scared.

466
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,120
I was scared.

467
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,120
I was scared.

468
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,120
I was scared.

469
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,120
I was scared.

470
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,120
I was scared.

471
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,120
This patient definitely had me scared.

472
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,120
What do you want?

473
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,120
I didn't mean to disturb you. I was just looking for dirty guns.

474
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:24,120
They've already been picked up. Now please leave my room.

475
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,120
I came in early the next night.

476
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,120
I just couldn't get Eric Craton out of my mind.

477
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,120
Who was he? Or more importantly...

478
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,120
Hey Gwen. What was me?

479
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,120
Did you hear about last night?

480
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,120
Somebody ripped off 200 bags of plasma from the blood bank.

481
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,120
What?

482
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,120
Weird, ain't it?

483
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,120
Yeah, real weird.

484
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Checked in your favor.

485
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,120
Take 621 down to X-ray and keep him there awhile.

486
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,120
What's up?

487
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120
Just do it for me. I'll tell you later.

488
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,120
All right. One X-ray coming up.

489
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,120
Don't worry. It won't hurt a bit.

490
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,120
Oh my God.

491
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,120
What is he doing?

492
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,120
I told you to stay away!

493
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,120
Oh my God! What did you do to him?

494
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:01,120
No! Stay away from me!

495
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,120
Oh my God!

496
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,120
Gwen!

497
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,120
Gwen!

498
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,120
Come on!

499
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,120
Hospital officials kept my story a secret.

500
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,120
They didn't want their hospital associated with vampires.

501
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,120
And then it hit me.

502
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,120
Maybe Eric wasn't a vampire.

503
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Maybe his goal all along was to steal blood and sell it illegally.

504
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,120
By pretending to be a vampire, he knew his crime would go unreported.

505
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,120
I guess I'll never know.

506
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,120
What really happened here?

507
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,120
Did the patient at room 621 really need to drink blood to survive?

508
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Vampire stories have been with us for centuries.

509
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,120
And there are recorded ceremonies in which certain tribes and cults actually drink human blood.

510
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120
But perhaps the explanation is more worldly.

511
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,120
Perhaps Eric and his cohorts were clever thieves who wanted to give the impression of being vampires,

512
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,120
so their activities would go unreported.

513
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,120
But then again, how was it that Eric survived a six-story drop? Never to be found.

514
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,120
Is this vampire tale based on an actual event?

515
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,120
Or are we just trying to suck you in?

516
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Fat or Fiction

517
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,120
Until you learn that they're weighted on the bottom.

518
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,120
Big Ralph Sabrisky ran a crooked booth at a carnival for 20 years.

519
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,120
He came from a long line of cheaters, and he was very good at what he did.

520
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,120
But his Ralph is about to learn.

521
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,120
No matter how skilled the con man, he can't cheat fate.

522
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,120
Big Ralph's traveling carnival looked like a place devoted to fire,

523
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,120
but it had a wicked underbelly.

524
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,120
Big Ralph and ex-con who had committed everything from grand larceny to murder

525
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,120
was hiding out here from the law.

526
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:06,120
And while he planned his next major crime, he spent his time running the carman

527
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,120
and cheating little children.

528
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Close one. You're a good little girl.

529
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,120
I almost lost one of my stuffed pals.

530
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,120
Another dollar, another ring, another chance.

531
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,120
What do you say?

532
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,120
Big Ralph knew that the hoops were about the same size as the cans,

533
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,120
so the ring one was next to impossible.

534
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,120
Oh, too bad. You got any more money, sweetie?

535
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,120
Then beat it, kid. You're taking up space.

536
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Step right up. We're in a beautiful stuffed animal for just a dollar.

537
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,120
Wait just a minute.

538
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,120
Step right up.

539
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,120
What do you say, Pop? Put your money down. Try your luck.

540
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,120
In the next few moments, Big Ralph's luck and his entire future

541
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,120
were about to change forever.

542
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,120
How did you do that, Pop?

543
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,120
Guess I'm just lucky.

544
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,120
Yeah, right. Real lucky.

545
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,120
Which one do you want?

546
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,120
The bunny.

547
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,120
I'll take the bunny.

548
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,120
You ever play this game before, Pop? You look awful familiar.

549
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,120
Nope. Never played.

550
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Thank you, mister.

551
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:51,120
The old man decided to reward all the kids who had been cheated by Ralph that day.

552
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,120
You'll never do that again, old man.

553
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,120
But Big Ralph was wrong.

554
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,120
The old man would do it again and again and again, all day long.

555
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,120
Big ones.

556
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,120
Big ones.

557
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,120
This kind of thing had never happened to Big Ralph before.

558
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,120
The old master swindler was beginning to feel he was being swindled himself,

559
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,120
and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

560
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:52,120
Big Ralph was being taken to the cleaners by an old man with an amazing ability for ringtocks.

561
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,120
At all the time the old man was winning prize after prize,

562
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,120
Big Ralph was trying to guess,

563
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,120
what's the angle? Who is this guy?

564
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,120
Was it somebody from Big Ralph's violent criminal past?

565
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:14,120
All right. That's it. This booth is closed for repairs.

566
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Just what kind of game are you playing, old man?

567
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,120
Ring toss.

568
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,120
You hustle me, you old bag of bones.

569
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,120
I don't know how you did it, but you did it.

570
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,120
Now you're going to pay me for those stuffed animals.

571
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,120
Hey, I want those animals fair and square.

572
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,120
I don't owe you anything.

573
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,120
And I want what's coming to me.

574
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,120
Whoa. You'll get what's coming to you, Big Ralph.

575
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,120
Who are you, old man?

576
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,120
Just a harmless old man.

577
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,120
But you, you're a cheat.

578
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,120
You've been taking advantage of children for years.

579
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,120
Get off these grounds.

580
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,120
And if I see you here again, I'll give you a beating you'll never forget.

581
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:26,120
Hey, Big Ralph. You forgot your ring.

582
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Hey, I've been looking for you. Where you been?

583
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,120
Just taking care of some business. What's up?

584
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,120
You got a car off track inside.

585
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,120
Everything's going wrong today.

586
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,120
Come on, you rusted bucket of bolts.

587
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,120
That's just great.

588
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,120
Get out of my face, you cheap piece of junk.

589
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,120
Ow! Ah, my foot! My foot!

590
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,120
Big Ralph, are you okay in there?

591
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,120
Fuck!

592
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,120
What's going on?

593
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,120
So, do you stop playing with the sound?

594
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,120
Forget this.

595
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,120
It can't be. It just can't be.

596
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Jake, Bobby, I need help. Now!

597
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120
This man is driving me nuts.

598
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,120
You want to turn it off? I tried.

599
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,120
Oh, my God.

600
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,120
I'm sorry.

601
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,120
And so the old man had the last laugh on Big Ralph,

602
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,120
who was now hanged to death by the hoop from the game of ring toss.

603
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Who was the mysterious old man?

604
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,120
Was he some spirit sent to avenge the wrongful deeds of Big Ralph,

605
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,120
or was Big Ralph done in by some angry employees

606
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,120
who were tired of his treachery and hateful ways?

607
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,120
But then how do you explain the close resemblance of the old man to the Funhouse figure?

608
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,120
Was that set up to make an all too real crime seem supernatural?

609
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:23,120
Is this tale of the deadly game of ring toss inspired by an actual event,

610
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,120
or have we rigged the game once again?

611
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,120
Next, you'll find out which of our stories are fact,

612
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,120
and which are fiction when Beyond Belief returns.

613
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,120
Now let's look back at tonight's stories and find out which ones are inspired by actual events,

614
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,120
and which ones are totally false.

615
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,120
The story of the young girl who swallowed a fertilized octopus egg

616
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,120
and grew the creature inside her body. True or false?

617
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,120
What about the movement I was feeling?

618
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,120
Oh, that was probably a muscle spasm, or some gas.

619
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,120
It wasn't a muscle spasm, or gas.

620
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,120
Marissa, the test came back negative. You're not pregnant.

621
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,120
Do you think you've heard a story like this somewhere? Is it true?

622
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,120
Only in the world of urban legends.

623
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,120
Although this one has been circulated as true, it's fiction.

624
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,120
Now let's look at the house with the curse on it. Was the story true?

625
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,120
I finally learned from the neighbors about the curse of Hampton Manor.

626
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,120
Oh, that really.

627
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Why? Why didn't you tell me about it before you sold it to me?

628
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,120
That was not my responsibility.

629
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:38,120
Although we changed the name of the house, this story was inspired by an actual event.

630
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:48,120
The story of the wax museum with the deadly exhibit. How did you judge that one?

631
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,120
What was going through your head those last few moments?

632
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,120
Yeah, are you alright?

633
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,120
This eerie tale of the wax exhibit that seems to have a life of its own has to be false, right?

634
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,120
Wrong.

635
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:11,120
This one happened in a wax museum in Canada. Our source material spots it around three decades ago.

636
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,120
Let's review the story of a hospital with a bloodthirsty patient.

637
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,120
What is it doing?

638
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,120
I told you to stay away!

639
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,120
Hang on! What did you do to him?

640
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,120
There is certainly more than one cult in this world.

641
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,120
What did you do to him?

642
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:44,120
There is certainly more than one cult in this country associated with vampire-like activities.

643
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,120
Is it possible that one of them participated in our story?

644
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Yes, it is possible because our research shows this story happened to a registered nurse on the east coast about 20 years ago.

645
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,120
It's fact.

646
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:05,120
What about the cheating carnival barker who met an ironic fate in his own funhouse?

647
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,120
This booth is closed for repairs!

648
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:13,120
Just what kind of game are you playing, old man?

649
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,120
Ring toss!

650
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:21,120
There is a common belief that carnivals employ people with shady or questionable backgrounds.

651
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,120
This lends credence to the fact that this story may have happened.

652
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,120
But not this time. We made it up.

653
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:38,120
Once again, we've tried to demonstrate the truth and falsehood live side by side.

654
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,120
Were you able to separate fact from fiction tonight?

655
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:46,120
Or did you find our conclusions simply beyond belief?

656
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,120
I'm Jonathan Frakes.

657
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,120
Join us next week for more Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

658
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,120
Beyond Belief
