Beyond belief, fact or fiction.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Hosted by Jonathan Frakes.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Music

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Tonight, your challenge is to separate what is true from what is false.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Five stories, some real, some fake.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Can you judge which are fact and which are fiction?

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
To find out, you must enter a world of both truth and deception.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
A world that is beyond belief.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Music

Music

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
A curious illusion.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
To the naked eye, this appears to be a perfect triangle.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Yet here's the truth.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
A disconnected shape.

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The two sides separated by a significant space.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So it is with our stories tonight.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
At first glance, they may seem connected to the truth,

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
but viewed from the proper perspective, your opinion might change.

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
We'll tell you which are real and which are fake at the end of our show.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Judge carefully, because as always, there are two sides to every story.

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Or in some cases,

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
there might be three.

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Music

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Do you believe that dreams foretell the future?

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Millions do. Walk into any library.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
It's easy to find books on the subject.

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Some cultures believe in the power of dream catchers.

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Nightmares get caught in the webbing while you sleep,

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and only the good dreams filter through.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Deborah Wilkins could use a dream catcher these days.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
She's having a dream that's most disturbing.

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
The nightmare returns night after night,

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
and it's more than just frightening.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
It's the kind of dream that can scare one to death.

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Deborah, you need your own help!

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Please, stop. You need your own help!

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Stop! Stop!

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Stop!

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Ah!

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Ah!

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Ah!

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Ah!

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Brian.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Morning, sir. Did you have a good workout?

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
I felt comfortable and accepted by everyone.

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I hated to spoil our idyllic lifestyle with my neurotic dreams,

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
but I had to share my fears with Brian.

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
It was too upsetting to envision the man I loved being murdered night after night.

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
I just couldn't keep it to myself.

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Morning, Andy.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Morning, Mr. Wilkins.

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
The garden looks beautiful.

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Nice work.

57
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Morning.

58
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
You all right?

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I had the nightmare again.

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
The same man attacked you from behind with the long-bladed knife.

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I still can't see his face.

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Deborah, it's just a dream. Nothing more.

63
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
I'm so afraid of losing you.

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
You're not going to lose me.

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I'm yours forever.

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Forever.

No, please.

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
No, don't.

73
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
No, don't hurt it. Please.

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Come on, I need you to help me.

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
You're not ready?

Brian! I saw him.

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
This time I saw his face.

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Calm down, honey. Calm down.

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
No, no. I saw him. It was Andy.

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
The groundskeeper.

86
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
He murdered you with a long knife.

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You have to get rid of him.

88
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
He has to go. Please, Brian.

89
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Let's try to be rational here.

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Andy's been with the family for 20 years.

91
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I admit he's a little strange, but he'd never hurt me.

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Can you be absolutely sure?

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Can you?

94
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Music

95
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Andy, I have to talk to you.

96
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Yeah?

97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Look, this isn't easy for me.

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
I've been having some financial problems.

99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Financial problems? You?

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
What I'm trying to say is I'm going to have to let you go.

101
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I'm sorry.

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
What?

103
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's nothing personal. It really isn't.

104
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I just have to make some changes here.

105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Well, how come I'm the one that's got to go?

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
I've been here longer than anybody.

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Your daddy hired me 20 years ago.

108
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
I know. I told you I don't feel good about it.

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
You often feel good about it. It ain't right.

110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
It just ain't right.

111
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Look, I always done a good job for you and your wife, hadn't I?

112
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Well, hadn't I?

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Hey, take it easy.

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
I'll give you six months' severance and references.

115
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
You can't afford to keep me on.

116
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Do you can afford six months' pay for no work?

117
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
That's the way it is.

118
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000
I want you to leave today.

119
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Fine.

120
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I don't need your stinking references.

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
PLEASE, DO NOT BELIEVE

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL TODAY

123
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
You look so beautiful today.

124
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Have a good ride.

125
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,000
A little bit more skitters than usual here, let me have them.

126
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Easy boy, easy boy, easy boy, it's me, Chas, not easy boy, easy boy, easy boy.

127
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Easy, easy boy, no, no, easy boy, no, no, no.

128
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Brian died of the wound inflicted by the hedge trap.

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
It had been left in the bushes by Andy when he was dismissed.

130
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,000
My husband died just as in my dream, stabbed in the back by our groundskeeper.

131
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Deborah Wilkins never recovered completely from her husband's death.

132
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
She continued to blame herself.

133
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Of course, logic would tell us that her husband's death was just accidental, a terrible coincidence.

134
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
But then how do you explain the recurring dream that identified the gardener as her husband's murderer?

135
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Doesn't this go past coincidence, even past irony?

136
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Is this story based on an actual happening, or are we simply leading you down the garden path?

137
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000
A story based on fact or a work of fiction will tell you at the end of our show.

138
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Next, another premonition and a deadly stalker.

139
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Sometimes the simplest of objects can get us through periods of emotional pain.

140
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Take this compact. 15-year-old Rena Newland is never without it.

141
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
It was a gift given to her by her father before his untimely death.

142
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,000
This small, uncomplicated little gift has sustained her through the most terrifying years of her life.

143
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:56,000
But Rena's terror is far from over, and the mysteries of what's contained inside this compact are about to come to light.

144
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
It had been almost three years since the death of my husband.

145
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
He was an Air Force pilot who died in a training mission over the Persian Gulf.

146
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
The loss devastated both my daughter and me.

147
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
But that wasn't the reason we moved across country from New York to Oregon.

148
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
My husband's death had left me extremely vulnerable.

149
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
That's when I met another man named Jeffrey Walker.

150
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000
To my horror, Jeffrey turned out to be a violent and abusive man.

151
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
When I tried to get rid of him, my life became a living hell.

152
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
He stalked me day and night.

153
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Finally, Jeffrey was arrested and sent to prison for assaulting me.

154
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Oh, don't you just love this place?

155
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
The fresh air and all the trees.

156
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
It's okay.

157
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
The experience with Jeffrey coming right on top of the loss of her father had left Rena with emotional scars.

158
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I hoped we could start over far away from the past.

159
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Yeah, I forgot it.

160
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Just a sec.

161
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Despite all my optimism, there was a strained relationship between Rena and me.

162
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
And I couldn't help but feel guilty about what my terrible relationship with Jeffrey had put her through.

163
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
It was about then that I noticed the odd light on the cabinet.

164
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
What's that, sweetheart?

165
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
It's a compact daddy cave knee.

166
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
He told me we'd always be together.

167
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
If I just looked inside...

168
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
He was right.

169
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
What's wrong?

170
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
I just get these bad feelings sometimes.

171
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Like Jeffrey's going to come back.

172
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Rena, I told you he's never going to bother us again.

173
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that Jeffrey was so violent.

174
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I really am.

175
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
I felt so sorry for Rena.

176
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000
She would go from periods of quiet isolation to being an exposed nerve ending.

177
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
And I never knew when the next explosion was coming.

178
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
I love you.

179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
And I miss you.

180
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
I miss you.

181
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I miss you.

182
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
I miss you.

183
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
I miss you.

184
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I miss you.

185
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I miss you.

186
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
I miss you.

187
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
What's wrong?

188
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
What's wrong?

189
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
What's wrong?

190
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
It was Jeffrey.

191
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
It was right outside my window.

192
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I don't see anyone. I don't see him. Are you sure?

193
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
It was him. He looked horrible.

194
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
I saw him in my compact mirror.

195
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
He was staring at me.

196
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
No, Rena.

197
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
No, honey. No, no.

198
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
You're sure? You're absolutely sure.

199
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Okay. Okay.

200
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Yes, thank you for your time.

201
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Rena, the man at the prison says that Jeffrey is still locked up.

202
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
But I saw him. I saw him.

203
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
I know, honey, but sometimes the mind plays tricks.

204
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
And Jeffrey couldn't possibly have been here.

205
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
I know what I saw. I...

206
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
I...

207
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
I know. I think at any age...

208
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Two days later, Rena saw Jeffrey's reflection in the compact mirror again.

209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
And just like the time before, she became hysterical.

210
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,000
I called a psychologist, Dr. David Blowshield.

211
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
This man Jeffrey obviously created some sort of trauma in her mind.

212
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
She has a great fear of him.

213
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
I'll just never forgive myself for bringing him into our lives.

214
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Well, Rena said that her father gave her the compact before he died.

215
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Yes, he did. And it means so much to her.

216
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Yeah, you know, it could be a contributing factor.

217
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Maybe you should put her away for a while.

218
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
She won't be able to see this.

219
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
It's important that we try to break the cycle.

220
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
I'll do anything. I just...

221
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
I can't stand to see her go through this.

222
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Stand.

223
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Let's set up a session for next week.

224
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
I'll be there.

225
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Honey?

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
You didn't get the compact out of my drawer, did you?

227
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
No.

228
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Why?

229
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Nothing.

230
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
How's your homework coming?

231
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Fine.

232
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Well, if you need any help, let me know.

233
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
I'm gonna go jump in the shower.

234
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Okay, Mom.

235
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Rena seemed to be feeling uneasy,

236
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
but that was nothing compared to what we were both about to experience.

237
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
It was that light again, the same one I had been seeing for the last few days.

238
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
It seemed to be coming from Rena's compact,

239
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
but that didn't seem possible.

240
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
I don't know how to explain it to you.

241
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I'm sorry.

242
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
I'm sorry.

243
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I'm sorry.

244
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
I'm sorry.

245
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I'm sorry.

246
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I'm sorry.

247
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
I'm sorry.

248
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I'm sorry.

249
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I'm sorry.

250
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
That didn't seem possible.

251
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Hi there.

252
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Jeffrey!

253
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Eleanor, you surprised.

254
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
I thought we could try to reconcile with you.

255
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
How did you get out?

256
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
I was easy. Just like finding you.

257
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I called your mother and told her I was an old friend from high school.

258
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Here I am in the flesh.

259
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Jeffrey, you don't want to do this.

260
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Why do you do this?

261
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Look at us.

262
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Back together again.

263
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Just one big happy family.

264
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
No!

265
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:47,000
The police extradited Jeffrey back to the same New York State prison he had escaped from three days before.

266
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Rena and I moved to another location and have felt safe ever since.

267
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And now, when Rena looks in the compact, the only thing she sees is her face next to her father's.

268
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:05,000
How could Rena have possibly seen the stalker's reflection while he was still thousands of miles away?

269
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Was it only her imagination?

270
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,000
If so, how do you explain his appearance so soon afterwards?

271
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Was it a premonition of a pending danger?

272
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Or was it a warning sent by the spirit of a dead father still trying to protect his daughter?

273
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Is this story of the strange mirror a series of lies?

274
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Or does it reflect the truth?

275
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
A story based on fact or a work of fiction will tell you at the end of our show.

276
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Next, we continue our theme of dreams and revenge.

277
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Have you thought about buying a used car lately?

278
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
There are lots of ways to do it.

279
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Everything from visiting the used car lots in person to surfing the internet.

280
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000
But most people still rely on the hundreds of listings in the classifieds and hand out publications.

281
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Ronnie Mercer has been combing through these of late for a bargain.

282
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000
He's getting ready to start college and his parents have promised him a car of his own.

283
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
But Ronnie's dream is about to unravel.

284
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And it may just turn out to be more than he ever bargained for.

285
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Bob Mercer was an honest, hardworking accountant employed by John Cutler, a dishonest, devious boss.

286
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Well, I certainly couldn't ask for anything more.

287
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Except a smarter accountant.

288
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000
For each of the last three quarters, I asked you to write off those research costs.

289
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Look, Mr. Cutler, as I indicated before, those costs can't be claimed as research.

290
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Isn't your son going off to college soon?

291
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Yes, next month.

292
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
You have another chance to make it right, Bob.

293
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
The fourth quarter report can be a happy ending for everybody.

294
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
But those expenditures netted an asset, which is a taxable event and...

295
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:55,000
How's this for an event? You pathetic bean counter. You're fired!

296
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:03,000
And so Bob Mercer's career at John Cutler and associates was ended by John Cutler himself.

297
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
That night, Bob broke the news to his wife, Susan.

298
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
I think it'd be best if I talked to him.

299
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Okay.

300
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000
At the hardest part would be to tell his son, Ronnie, who'd been counting on a new car paid for by Dad.

301
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:28,000
In fact, it seemed that a car was the only thing on Ronnie's mind.

302
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Nice work. How many is this made?

303
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Stopped counting at 200.

304
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
200? Wow.

305
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
What's wrong, Dad?

306
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:00,000
I was fired today. Mr. Cutler fired me.

307
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
You'll get something better, Dad. I know it.

308
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000
We'll see. But until I do, with school starting, and now this...

309
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I'm sorry, but I think we're gonna have to wait on the car.

310
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Well...

311
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
It'll just give you more time to shop around.

312
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Ronnie's going to be fired.

313
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Mercer, for one dollar, this can be yours.

314
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
That night, Ronnie would have the strangest dream of his life.

315
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
With the three-used car, my friend, with just one dollar, finds this meeting.

316
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
That's right. One dollar drives this car on.

317
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
No down payment, no finance terms, just one dollar.

318
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:59,000
One dollar. One dollar. One dollar. One dollar. One dollar. One dollar. One dollar.

319
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Mercer, for one dollar, this can be yours. For just one dollar, this car will give you peace.

320
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Looking for a used car, my friend?

321
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Well, just one dollar finds this meeting. That's right. One dollar drives this car on.

322
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:29,000
No down payment, no finance terms, just one dollar. One dollar. One dollar. One dollar.

323
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
The next morning, Ronnie couldn't get the dream out of his mind.

324
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
I had a dream about the class fights last night.

325
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Oh, it was so weird. I was in front of this huge house, and there was this car that was for sale out front.

326
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And the most awesome part about it was it only cost a dollar.

327
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
No one sells a car for a dollar. Stop dreaming.

328
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
But, Dad, it was so real.

329
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000
I'll be in the den. I'll take the help one of the adds with me.

330
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
I'll be in the den.

331
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Mom! Mom, look at this. It's here. Look at this.

332
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Oh, come on, honey. Your dad's right. Nobody sells a car.

333
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000
What?

334
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
For one dollar.

335
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
We gotta go right now. Let's go.

336
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
No, it's a mistake, Ronnie. It's either a misprint or it's a joke. There isn't even a phone number, honey.

337
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
It was exactly like my dream.

338
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Would you do me a favor and not mention this again, okay? Your dad's got a lot of money.

339
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Mom, we have to go right now or it is...

340
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Shh! All right. Okay. Okay. I will drive you.

341
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
It's gonna be a big waste of time. Come on.

342
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
When Ronnie and his mother arrived at the address, Ronnie couldn't believe his eyes.

343
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
The house was just like the one in his dream.

344
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Susan Mercer decided not to try and calm her son down.

345
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:11,000
He would learn soon enough that dreams don't come true very often, especially impossible car dreams.

346
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
The mother braced herself for the inevitable disappointment that her son was about to experience.

347
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,000
It didn't seem to make any sense. The woman at the door had invited Ronnie inside.

348
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Susan was beginning to feel very strange about the entire incident.

349
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Mom! Mom! Come see my new car!

350
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,000
There it was. The same shiny sports car that Ronnie had described in his dream.

351
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And from the way he was acting, he had actually bought it for one dollar.

352
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Ronnie ran off to use the car phone to tell his dad.

353
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
But he didn't realize that he had bought it for one dollar.

354
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
He didn't realize that he had bought it for one dollar.

355
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
He had already bought it for one dollar.

356
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
He had already bought it for one dollar.

357
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
He had already bought it for one dollar.

358
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Ronnie ran off to use the car phone to tell his dad, while Susan stayed behind to learn exactly what was going on.

359
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Your son is a delight.

360
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Thank you. I'm just not sure I understand what's going on here.

361
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
I mean, surely you're not selling this for one dollar? Why? You think it's too much?

362
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
No, I just don't get it.

363
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It's a story I'm sure you've heard before.

364
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,000
After 30 years of marriage, my husband is trading me in on a newer model.

365
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
He was always afraid some creditor would come after his beloved car, so it's in my name.

366
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Selling it is going to break his heart.

367
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
In fact, he should be home from work any time now.

368
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
I hope your son enjoys this car as much as my husband did.

369
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Oh, oh, he will. He will.

370
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And who was the man who lost his most precious possession for one dollar?

371
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Where's my car? Where is my car?

372
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
It was John Cutler.

373
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Your precious car traded you in, John Cutler, and for a much younger model, I should add.

374
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,000
But don't worry. I drove a very hard bargain.

375
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,000
The same John Cutler who had fired Ronnie's father.

376
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Was this just an astounding coincidence, or did young Ronnie want his dream car so badly that he made it happen?

377
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Can people control their own future by sheer force of will?

378
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,000
And what about the irony of his father's boss becoming the victim of Ronnie's dream?

379
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Is this story of the impossible used car deal based on reality, or have we traded in the truth for another lie?

380
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
A story based on fact or a work of fiction will tell you at the end of our show.

381
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Next, another firing results in terror.

382
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
One of the pleasures of life for many people is window shopping.

383
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Manikins like these, in creative poses, provide hours of eye candy along some of the most famous streets of the world.

384
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Gerald Stanley has been dressing mannequins for over 25 years.

385
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
He treats them with respect and takes pride in his every display.

386
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Lately, Gerald has been a mentor for an eager assistant, Craig Vinton.

387
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
But some have noticed the assistant is a little too eager lately.

388
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:40,000
His next move may put his mentor in a financial crisis, but before it's over, it will cost much more than an arm and a leg.

389
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Something's not right.

390
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
What do you think, Craig?

391
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Yeah, I agree. There's something off. I mean, it just doesn't look right.

392
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,000
I loved my job, and part of it was teaching the ropes to green young kids like Craig.

393
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000
That's it. That's exactly what it needed. You're a genius when it comes to the little touches, Gerald.

394
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:14,000
That's what it's all about. Little touches make up the big picture.

395
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,000
I know I've told you this before, but working for you has really been a great education for me.

396
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Well, someday you'll be a chief decorator somewhere, and then you can put all you've learned to good use.

397
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Yeah. I'll definitely put it to good use.

398
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Of course, I didn't know that Craig did his best work behind my back.

399
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Mr. Duncan. Mr. Duncan.

400
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Yes?

401
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Gerald's making the window look like Jurassic Park. I mean, it's prehistoric.

402
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Not to mention it's taking him forever.

403
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
I hate to say it, but he's so far behind schedule he'll never be ready for the Spring Fling opening.

404
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
What?

405
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Wait a minute. What are you telling me? Spring Fling starts the day after tomorrow.

406
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
And Gerald is not ready?

407
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
I thought you should know, sir.

408
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
I can't delay that opening. It'll cost us a fortune.

409
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
I don't want to start trouble, but I can redo the entire window tonight.

410
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And it would be more like the times we live in, you know? Edgier.

411
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Edgier.

412
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Edgier.

413
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Okay.

414
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Edgier.

415
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
I don't believe this.

416
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
You want to give Craig Vinton the Spring Fling display?

417
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
He's just an assistant.

418
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Listen, Gerald. You're falling farther and farther behind in your work.

419
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
And quite frankly, your displays are somewhat old-fashioned.

420
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Old-fashioned?

421
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Management wants something a little younger, hip, you know, edgier.

422
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
And they don't think you could give us that anymore.

423
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,000
You're firing me.

424
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
You really don't have a choice.

425
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
After 20? Five years?

426
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Sorry, Gerald. It's business.

427
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
I took one last look at the figures in my shop.

428
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
They were almost like real people to me.

429
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Craig wasted no time.

430
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
He just mattled my display before I even had the chance to clean out my desk.

431
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
What are you doing to my troops?

432
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
These aren't your troops, Gerald.

433
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
They're just plastic dummies.

434
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
They're just tools for my art.

435
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I'm creating something new, different, something you wouldn't understand.

436
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
You know what you are, Craig?

437
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
You're a miserable, two-faced little suck-up.

438
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Yeah, but I got your job, old man.

439
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000
You back off, Gerald, or I'll call security.

440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000
There was so much I wanted to do and say, but I had to maintain my dignity.

441
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
If not for Craig, then at least in front of my figures, the only true friends I had.

442
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
You'll be sorry you did this.

443
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Yeah, right. I feel real bad.

444
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
I'm sorry.

445
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
I'm sorry.

446
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I'm sorry.

447
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
I'm sorry.

448
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,000
I'm sorry.

449
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,000
I'm sorry.

450
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,000
I'm sorry.

451
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000
He was trying to hurt me by hurting them.

452
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
And it was almost as if I felt their pain at Craig's abusive treatment.

453
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Craig couldn't wait to reveal his edgy new concept.

454
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:07,000
A wild display of disembodied body parts scattered around the floor and eye-catching poses.

455
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,000
What's going on?

456
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Like Craig himself, his ideas were imaginative and creative and sick.

457
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Where's the display?

458
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
I don't understand.

459
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
I worked on it all night.

460
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
It was here when I left.

461
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
It was beautiful.

462
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000
I had pieces of mannequin everywhere, but clothes draped over them.

463
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000
It's Gerald.

464
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
I mean, it has to be him.

465
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Look, I don't know what you're doing.

466
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,000
But either I get a sprinkling display by tonight, or you're out of here.

467
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Yes, sir.

468
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
I'll recreate it at once.

469
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Craig thought I had sabotaged his display, but I was out of town.

470
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
I don't believe this.

471
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
That maniac put them all back together again.

472
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,000
We may never know the truth, but this is what Craig claims happened to him that night in a completely empty store.

473
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
What did that happen?

474
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
I don't believe this.

475
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
I don't believe this.

476
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
I don't believe this.

477
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
I don't believe this.

478
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
I don't believe this.

479
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
I don't believe this.

480
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Gerald?

481
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Gerald, where are you? Come out and face me.

482
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Gerald, where are you? I know you're doing this to me. I know you are.

483
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Stop this!

484
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Stop this!

485
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Stop this!

486
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Stop this!

487
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Gerald?

488
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Gerald, I know you're in here. Come out and face me.

489
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Gerald, where are you?

490
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000
I know you're doing this to me. I know you are.

491
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Craig quit the next morning, and I was reinstated.

492
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Who could have possibly attacked Craig that night?

493
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
It couldn't have been me.

494
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
I was out of town.

495
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,000
What could have caused the mannequin's assault on Craig?

496
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Were Craig's problems with the mannequins just a result of his own clumsiness?

497
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000
If not, what could have possibly caused the mannequin's assault on Craig?

498
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Was it deposed Gerald controlling things from behind the scenes,

499
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
or is the explanation more mystical?

500
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Could it be the mannequins actually had human feelings of hatred for their new dresser?

501
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Do you think this story puts the truth on display?

502
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Or is it merely window dressing?

503
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,000
A story based on fact or a work of fiction will tell you at the end of our show.

504
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Next, a mysterious tale of the old South.

505
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Southern hospitality.

506
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
A genteel, refined way of life.

507
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Of course, like all regions of our country, the South has endured political, social, and sometimes violent change.

508
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Yet a quick visit to any Southern city reminds us that the concept of Southern hospitality is alive and well.

509
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Our story tonight takes place before the time of Scarlet and Red.

510
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:49,000
It evokes memories of warm Southern breezes, weeping willows, and things beyond belief.

511
00:33:50,000 --> 00:34:01,000
As I write these words in my journal, it is the year 1806, and I'm looking back on my life on it by my service to the United States of America.

512
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:08,000
I've been a cavalry commander, held a seat in Congress, and finally I attained the governorship of Virginia.

513
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,000
But the best thing that has ever happened to me is my beautiful young wife, Ann.

514
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,000
She's barely 26 years old, and she's already given me three beautiful children.

515
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Harry, my darling, you must stop working and see what I bought today.

516
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Just a moment, darling. I'm almost finished.

517
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
There. Now you can see everything.

518
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,000
You are incorrigible. All right, you have my full attention.

519
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Oh, Harry, it's all so beautiful. It's all the latest fashions from Paris. Look at this one. This is my favorite.

520
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
There, what do you think? Do I look Parisian?

521
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,000
I think that hat is lucky to have your pretty head to sit up on.

522
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Oh, Harry, why are you so good to me?

523
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Well, that's quite simple, my darling. I love you.

524
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,000
My evenings on our plantation were most comfortable.

525
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,000
There were many pleasant dinners with good friends and all political allies.

526
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
I really wish you would consider writing for my newspaper, Harry.

527
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000
I know you're a busy man, but your views on federalism should be read by the people.

528
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
You compliment me, Alexander.

529
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000
I agree. You're a fine author, Harry.

530
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Your description of George Washington's life is a little bit different.

531
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Your description of George Washington is first in war, first in peace,

532
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,000
and first in the hearts of his countrymen will go down in history.

533
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Thank you, Thomas. Of course I esteem your opinion, Alexander, and I will consider your offer.

534
00:35:50,000 --> 00:36:00,000
I'm sorry to interrupt, gentlemen, but I'm suddenly feeling unwell.

535
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
What is it, Anne?

536
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Nothing, Harry.

537
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Perhaps you should retire for the evening.

538
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Yeah?

539
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Excuse me, gentlemen.

540
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
I'd never seen Anne take an ill before. I was shaken by it and extremely concerned.

541
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
What's the matter? What's wrong with her?

542
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,000
She has a very high fever and is in and out of consciousness.

543
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000
I'll be honest with you, sir. I don't know what the malady is.

544
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Is she young?

545
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Strong. She will recover.

546
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
I truly hope so.

547
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I'm going to prescribe sulfates. Perhaps they'll help.

548
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,000
All we can do is keep an eye on her.

549
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Thank you, Doctor. Thank you for coming to us.

550
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Dear Lord, please let her recover.

551
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
But Anne's condition did not improve and only continued to worsen.

552
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Doctor Bradley used everything at his disposal, but she did not respond.

553
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Harry.

554
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Why is it, Harry?

555
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I've given you three fine children.

556
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Maybe my time here is done.

557
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,000
You mustn't say that. Don't give up a hand fight on them.

558
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000
I love you. I love you, Harry.

559
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Harry.

560
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Harry.

561
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Annie.

562
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Annie, don't leave me, please.

563
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000
I'm sorry.

564
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Oh, my beautiful.

565
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Anne never regained consciousness after that.

566
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Doctor Bradley pronounced her dead later that day.

567
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
I found myself frozen in place, unable to move.

568
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I'd weathered so many battles and seen so much death in my time,

569
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
but nothing had ever left me so devastated.

570
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Grave diggers were to start their work that evening.

571
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
I wanted the moment of Annie's actual burial to be a private one,

572
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
shared by the two of us.

573
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:08,000
How can I put you in the ground, my beautiful darling?

574
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I must go crazy.

575
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Help me.

576
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Help me.

577
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Harry.

578
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Help me, Harry.

579
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
It can't be.

580
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Annie.

581
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Oh, my God, Annie.

582
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
What happened?

583
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,000
In hindsight, Doctor Bradley guessed that Annie must have been in a living death.

584
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Once the illness had run its course, she revived.

585
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
One year later, my wife, Anne Lee, gave me another child.

586
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
He was a boy.

587
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
My dreams were that he would follow in my footsteps and become a leader of men.

588
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
My name to him, Robert E. Lee.

589
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000
There are many recorded incidents of premature burials in the early 1800s.

590
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Medical science was still growing and diagnoses were often wrong.

591
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Is that what happened here, or did fate step in?

592
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Was Anne Lee brought back to life because history had plans for her yet unborn son, Robert E.

593
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Is this story that takes place in the anti-Balamira inspired by an actual event?

594
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Or have our writers gone south on us?

595
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Next, you'll find out which of our stories are fact and which are fiction when beyond belief, fact or fiction, returns.

596
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:39,000
And now it's time to see which of our stories are inspired by actual events and which are totally made up.

597
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Let's look back at the story of the premonition dream that resulted in death. True or false?

598
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:54,000
No. No, please. No, don't. No, don't hurt him, please.

599
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Deborah, I need you to help me!

600
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Are you ready?

601
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:19,000
If you guessed this one was based on fact, we played a trick on you. It never happened.

602
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:28,000
How did you judge the one about the young girl who saw the stalker in her compact mirror? Real or unreal?

603
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Hi there.

604
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Jeffrey!

605
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Eleanor, you surprised? I thought we could try a reprieve.

606
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Did you get out?

607
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,000
I was easy.

608
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Just like finding you, I called your mother and told her I was an old friend from high school.

609
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Here I am in the flesh.

610
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Jeffrey, you don't want to do this.

611
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Why do you know where to?

612
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
No, no, please!

613
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Stop it!

614
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Look at us. Back together again. Just one big happy family.

615
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
If you thought this tale was fiction, we fooled you.

616
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Our research shows this happened to a family in the Washington, D.C. area in the early 80s. It's fact.

617
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:14,000
How did you judge the one about the college student whose dream of buying a car for $1 came true?

618
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Was this real or fake?

619
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Looking for a used car, my friend?

620
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Well, just $1 for this car.

621
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,000
That's right.

622
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
$1 drives this car off.

623
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,000
No down payment.

624
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
No finance terms.

625
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Just $1.

626
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000
$1.

627
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
$1.

628
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
$1.

629
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,000
$1.

630
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,000
$1.

631
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,000
$1.

632
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,000
$1.

633
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,000
$1.

634
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,000
$1.

635
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
$1.

636
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
$1.

637
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,000
$1.

638
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,000
$1.

639
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,000
$1.

640
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000
This can't be real.

641
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
For just $1, this car.

642
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
What is our research show on this one?

643
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Absolutely nothing.

644
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,000
We made it up.

645
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
It's false.

646
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Let's look at the story of the ambitious window dresser who meets his match in mannequins.

647
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,000
True or false?

648
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
What if that happened?

649
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Ugh!

650
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Gerald?

651
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Gerald?

652
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Where are you?

653
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Come out and face me.

654
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Gerald, where are you?

655
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
I know you're doing this to me.

656
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,000
I know you are.

657
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Help me!

658
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Did you think this one was based on reality?

659
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Not this time.

660
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000
It's a fake.

661
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000
How about the tale of the old south, the premature burial, and the birth of General Robert E. Lee?

662
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
History or hogwash?

663
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000
How can I put you in the ground, my beautiful darling?

664
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
That must be going crazy.

665
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Help me.

666
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Help me.

667
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Harry?

668
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Help me, Harry.

669
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,000
It can't be.

670
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Annie?

671
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Oh my God, Annie!

672
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,000
If you thought we made this story up, you're wrong.

673
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,000
It's based on actual published stories about Robert E. Lee and his father in Light Horse Harry.

674
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,000
How did you do it separating fact from fiction tonight?

675
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
We've tried to demonstrate that it's not an easy task.

676
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,000
For sometimes, truth and falsehood live in the same world.

677
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
A world that's beyond belief.

678
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,000
I'm Jonathan Fraes.

679
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:49,000
The story entitled The Stalker is based on first-hand research conducted by author Robert Traylons.

680
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000
For Beyond Belief, Factor Fiction, this is Don LaFontaine.

681
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
The Stalker

682
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
The Stalker
