[John coughing]
[brisk soft music]
[door locks rattling]
[helicopter engine roaring]
- Hey, what's up man,
I hate to be that guy.
I was the fool who did not pick up smokes
on my way home from work,
would you mind if I...
[helicopter engine roaring in a distance]
My contribution.
- What is that the hope diamond.
- I think it is an ashtray.
- You just moved in?
- Yeah, like three or four hours ago.
I'm leaving the city soon,
so I just basically packed up all shit my at my old place.
Sold it off there, found this place.
No lease, snatched it up online, sight unseen.
How long have you been here?
- I have an ex-husband hence just started smoking.
About a decade, which I guess makes me
the de facto ambassador to the new tenants.
- Does your ceiling have any leaks?
- Ruin any of your stuff?
- Nothing to ruin.
- Well my ex actually left a bunch of stuff
in the garage that I was just gonna donate.
If you want to have it for some temporary
like furnishings and stuff.
- Dude, that is really kind of you.
And I will actually take you up on that.
I would say let's just do it now,
but you directly ahead off the surgery doctor.
- Yeah, I'm a wedding photographer
and I just fell asleep
and might get up right after the reception.
There's this kind of Autumnal equinox goth wedding.
The thing is awesome about LA
is there still is huge goth scene.
So they we're just slinging around cocktails all night
but started with blood and I got hit.
- I'm about to blow your mind.
The bar I work at last night is like
the dark wave electro goth.
I think, I dunno it looks like
so like the Renaissance Fair to me,
but I was wondering why I was getting
more bloodtinis spilled all over me than usual.
And now I know,
it is the, what'd you say?
It was the autumn-in-al...
- Autumnal. Autumnal equinox.
[helicopter engine roaring]
- Its when the weeds turn brown
and the hills burn and everything smells
like barbecue all the time, it's beautiful.
- Oh shit. Check this out.
Last night up on that hillside.
I saw this guy.
- LA is like Halloween, but just all the time.
Is that your new place?
- Yeah, that's it.
That's my temporary digs.
- It's actually been vacant since I moved in.
So it's kinda nice
to have somebody watching out over us over the neighborhood.
It's getting worse. Vagrants.
- It's been vacant for over a decade?
Someone like murdered there or something?
Well that's supposed to have something
disclosed to me, what's up?
- Actually, yeah.
A 90-year old grandma just threw grandpa out of a window
and he fell face first, right where you're standing.
[airplane engine roaring]
- At least we are cheap right to the airport.
- There is this
dude sits at my bar and he always says this thing.
He says, "Hey, it can only fall so fast."
[John chuckling]
I hope what that dude said to me is going fast enough
to not feel the impact.
- Oh no, I made that up.
No one died. I was just kidding.
Anyways. I got to get these bad boys.
Motor checked and charged before church.
So why don't you just swing on by
when you want to move in your stuff.
- Oh, here I go, bad neighbor, I am John.
- Oh, Levi. All right.
Hey, thank you for this.
- Check it out. That's hungry Dave.
He is really aggressive.
Don't let him get to eye level. Okay?
[wind whistling]
[bells tingling gently]
[static noise]
[ominous music]
- What do I think went wrong,
either one of two things happened.
Either they were trying to put together
this really intricate, beautiful cosmic puzzle.
And some of those pieces were extraordinary
or the way they jammed them together.
It just created this abstract mess
that then they could imbue
with whatever meaning they wanted.
It doesn't really matter
because it affected them in very different ways.
And I don't think anything is worth what happened.
I still believe part of it was real.
You can catch it in scientific terms,
it doesn't really matter because the result is the same.
And it's really sad.
[ominous music]
I don't just mean the dead one.
- And there is this yellow tail,
but between me and it's like
this little like cavernous that has some eel grass on it.
- And it's like 19th century lobster trap
that just busted out of it, right?
And then... boom.
I looked down, there's a fucking claw around my arm.
I look up, there's a lobster
the size of Danny fucking DeVito.
I kid you not.
And he's dragging me
and I'm so fascinated
but then I look in it's eyes
that I almost forget I'm loaded
and I can shoot left-handed.
Just take aim and shtoonk, spear the shit out of it.
Barely phases it.
Just kind of saunters off back into its cave.
I've never seen that lobster again.
I never saw that spear again.
I didn't get that big ass tuna,
but that was the day I learned that it's like,
yeah, there's a lot of good sushi places in Los Angeles,
but I don't fuck with lobster rolls.
Lobsters are intelligent creatures.
- You can hop on my wifi network if you want to.
- My signal is shockingly good here,
but I might take you up on that.
What is your network?
- It's "Behold the promised LAN"
like L-A-N, it used to be Mr. Rogers neighborhertz,
but that was Lonnie's.
It is not even clever.
Oh, the password is easy to remember.
It's "JUDGEMENT DAY" all caps.
- There's like a billion fucking networks.
So I'm gonna have to mess with this later.
But now I actually have to get to this charity thing
I do at the youth shelter.
Can I grab you something for the way out?
Like a beer or something?
I really appreciate all this.
- No, thank you.
Actually, I don't drink.
- Good for you, bro.
How long have you been sober?
- Now 10 years, honestly, Lonnie was an AA.
So that kinda made me an AA, but never even had a problem.
I just kinda got way into it.
Stuck with it. I don't know.
- Okay, cool.
Don't forget your plant, on the way out.
- Oh no, no that's yours.
That's actually a house warming gift.
My grandma runs this little nursery
up in the central valley.
I give her a hand with sometimes.
[phone ringing]
Speak of the angel.
- [John] Hey actually, do you mind if I take this up here.
- Disappears in the courtyard.
- And do what you gotta do.
- Hey grandma.
I could probably just head on up
there next Sunday, like usual, you know.
Yeah. I of course will groom myself and wear a suit.
Not just for God, but for you.
All right, amen to that.
All right, may you go. I love you. Bye.
She's out of her mind, man. See you.
- Can I interest you in?
One for the road.
- Yeah. Thank you.
[soft wind whistling]
[ominous music]
[wind whistling]
- Did you forget something?
- You should just come and see this.
[ominous music]
- It was moving on its own
or something invisible was moving it.
There was a this light.
- Yeah, no, absolutely.
No doubt. I feel bad about this,
I actually do have to get to my charity thing
at the youth shelter, but I don't want to rush you.
- Totally. Yeah. What are we gonna do?
Or we're gonna like stand around all day
and talk about how I thought I saw a ghost
in a new apartment.
I'm sorry. I'm the weirdest neighbor you knew ever.
And don't be a stranger.
[ominous music]
[crystal clattering]
[ominous music]
[door banging]
[diminishing invigorating music]
- That's so dumb.
- No, it's just weird.
It's like you go your whole life thinking certain things
are always gonna be a mystery.
Like the identity of Jack the Ripper
or Bermuda triangle or the great pyramids.
- Pyramids aren't a mystery anymore.
I saw this YouTube video
and they're just ramps in wet sand.
- All right. Well, a lot of things are still mysteries.
You just don't expect to witness one on a shitty afternoon
in your cheap apartment,
- We are more surveilled than ever in our own history.
Everyone has a camera phone in their pocket
and we still don't have even a single actual bit
of evidence for a ghost or supernatural, whatever.
[ominous music]
Man, there it is.
It's right there.
- It's weird though. I don't necessarily feel.
[ominous music]
Do you feel scared?
- When it was happening,
when we're looking at it, I really did,
but it's getting replaced by something.
- All right, this is gonna sound weird
because you and me just met
but when I first moved out to LA,
you get a job bar backing.
And one of my first days I'm polishing a glass
and this dude behind the bar is like,
"Hey, how long are you gonna give it?"
Like, how long am I gonna give it to strike gold out west?
And I tell him,
actually what do you think I told him?
- 39 Years.
- I said 10 but it ended up being 20.
And I'm still driving the same shitty Mazda,
to the same bar, except my kidneys hurt,
I am self medicating and pretty sure my liver is shot.
All right, so like photography, right?
Like that was supposed to be your golden egg.
The thing you're passionate about,
the thing that allows you to make a living,
but it hasn't worked out for you yet.
Life tons of things like that, dude, tons.
Life's weird. Like sometimes things just don't happen,
but that happened, right?
And that's more scarce than gold.
It's like proof of the supernatural.
That's like, book deals and like movies
and like TV shows and like religious views
and shit getting.
- So what do we do?
[knocking on the door]
- Hello?
Hello.
- Hello.
[airplane engine roaring]
- Oh Jesus.
- So, the house I grew up in,
had this big ass windows,
the pigeons could not see,
they just slam into it.
And you can't tell at first,
whether they are just like stunned
or their brains are mush,
we build these things and it protects them.
So they don't get eaten by like a cat
and shit while we wait to see if they wake up or not.
- Oh, we will never get the full effect of it on a podcast.
- What?
- We're gonna try to prove the supernatural.
We're gonna need some kind of visuals.
People won't believe it.
- What are you thinking like a YouTube channel or something?
- YouTube is like a whole like subscriber,
metadata algorithm, hot girl thumbnail,
like channel subscribe.
I don't understand YouTube.
I was thinking a documentary.
- All right. Well, I actually do have to run to work now,
but I don't think I work tomorrow night.
If you wanted to reconvene then get it started.
- Yeah, let's do it.
- All right.
[Levi groaning]
Is it possible this is extremely dangerous
and we just completely overlooked that part?
- No one's ever died of like a demon or a ghost or whatever.
It's always just slamming cabinets and doors
and like cold spots and stuff.
- Totally. So if it gets dangerous, we just stop.
Easy, right?
I'll see you then.
Can you take care of that
to put somewhere safe on the side of the house.
Hey, hi. So sorry. I did not make it to the thing.
- Yeah. First I did find it a little bit strange
that the youth shelter that Levi volunteers
that would send somebody to check on him
when he doesn't show up, but...
- [Isabel] I'm sorry.
I think your bio was in one of the destroyed hard drives.
Maybe let's get that first. Okay?
- Yeah. Okay.
- [Levi] Just because this feels a little bit weird is okay.
If I just look at you,
I know John likes it like this,
but you could just.
- [John] I started out with photography
and I thought a better way
to finance photography was to become a math teacher.
I thought it'd be more chill.
I thought I'll be the cool teacher,
but those kids they just hated me.
Even though I adjusted the curve so much,
I should've been fired.
Some people, they like kids, but they are not good.
Anyways, I fell in love with Lonnie
and chased him out here to LA.
Now I spend my days and nights charging scooters,
and I hope that the rent check clears
so that I'm not moving in with my grandma
when I'm in my thirties.
Move on to the
convict thing?
- [Levi] I mean, I think the reason why I got into this
with John was that I just loved watching X Files with
my sister I was little.
Now it's like everything like the X Files I guess.
- [John] Even though Levi played it off really well,
I knew something about that guy was...
[soft soothing music]
You know I'll say this.
I can totally see why he wouldn't want to share like that.
[ominous music]
Hey, careful with the threading on
that thing it's kinda old.
Is your phone okay?
- Yeah, I'm all good.
- God, all that heat just coming from the closet?
- Yeah, it is hot as shit.
I have this theory that the downstairs unit is vacant
and maybe like someone left on a heater
or how kind of sweet would ghost fire be?
- Yeah, how much do you think like Netflix pays
for one of these documentaries.
Let's say about movies selling
at film festivals for millions of dollars.
So I would say at least like 10 million,
something like that.
- Honestly, that sounds kind of low.
Oh, hey. I know it's a little early for this,
but I was thinking a little bit about the title.
All right, check this out.
"Something in the light."
Isn't that cool?
I get it.
- Yeah, because of the fucking light.
That's dope. I thought of one too.
"The door that wouldn't shut."
[door cringing]
- For the title?
That's cool.
- Thank you.
- It's probably got too syllables though, you know. Right?
[camera shuttering]
- I'm pretty sure that's almost
the exact same amount of, what was the other one?
- It's got one more syllable.
It's hard to remember.
So titles are important.
[footsteps diminishing]
[TV hissing]
[air whooshing]
- [John] Praise Jesus.
[air whooshing]
[crystal clanking]
I guess that waits for you for that part.
[crystal beeping]
You rolling? You rolling?
- Oh shit.
[rapid beeping]
- Wait.
[camera beeping]
Fuck. Camera overheated and the SD card was full.
So we couldn't have gotten anything anyways.
- I might've gotten something on the film camera,
but I doubt it and I didn't charge the batteries.
So welcome to amateur hour.
- Dude. I feel like if you get anything on day one,
that's a win.
- We didn't get anything.
Your camera was completely out of focus.
- I don't think it was.
And also I just feel like this is an indicator
that we need a better plan, better equipment,
real cameras, real lighting, real microphones.
- This is real.
- No, but I mean like professional stuff,
like when you see politicians
and they got all microphones on their collars.
We should like divvy up tasks.
Like you be the main camera guy
and I'll be the supplementary camera guy.
I could do all the audio stuff.
And you could do like the video organizing.
- Data manager.
- Data entry. Exactly.
And obviously we don't know when exactly
this thing's happening.
We're probably going to take shifts.
So, here you go.
Remember to lock up,
remember to leave all the windows open.
So you don't fucking cook us.
- You know this is how stupid people
get murdered on "Dateline," right?
- You're gonna murder me?
- No one's getting murdered.
And ghosts can't kill you either.
- You keep saying that,
but you're not Dana Fox or Mulder Scully.
- How do you think a ghost kills someone.
It has a ghost knife?
They just like pull out their ghost shank
and they stab you and ghost pre...
What is that?
- It's just like an energy supplement.
I get out this nutropics website.
- Are they safe?
- Yeah, it's just like a all natural amino acids.
[ominous music]
[upbeat music]
[diminishing soft music]
- Kind of hard to explain,
but yeah. I mean, I'm kind of an idiot.
I was supposed to do something with him tonight,
but I forgot to get his contact info
and he's not home so.
Grandma you're genius.
Yeah. He's gotta be on some kind of social media somewhere.
[ominous music]
Sorry. Yeah. I'll call you back later on.
I love you. Bye.
[banging on door]
- What's up man.
Oh, they make me dress like this
for like the speakeasy and shit,
it fucking sucks.
Did I get the right hard drives?
Dope, I actually,
I picked up a high decibel camera right next to my work.
So, I have that too.
Did you get the gear?
- Yeah.
- Awesome. Okay.
Are we're gonna do this or...
- Yeah.
- And the gear?
- Yeah.
[ominous music]
[bell jingling]
[ominous music]
[camera stand falling]
- Hey John. I know I said I could do this,
but I was incorrect.
Do you mind helping me out.
Thanks bud.
This camera's basically what I was talking about
in terms of a bigger thing and actually never told you this.
I was gonna buy a bunch
of camera equipment several years back,
but someone told me my tips would up
to like 20 to 40% if I fixed my teeth.
So I got braces, spent all the money on that.
Didn't get the camera equipment, check this out.
- You are on the audio.
- Was I supposed to?
- I already got it.
- So, are you being weird because we forgot to run audio?
- The other day in front of our place.
Who was that?
- That was my probation counselor.
I told you I've got the charity thing
I do at the youth shelter
and they just get really weird when I don't show up
or I'm late or anything.
- You know that everyone would say
there's a huge difference between volunteer work
and mandatory community service.
- I don't want to get caught up in the weeds
of what exactly that's called.
- You want to tell me what you did to get yourself a PO.
- It is a not an interesting story, not even worth telling.
So you read online that I'm a registered sex offender.
- What?
- I was having to go cocktails,
during one of the big city-wide shutdowns
and I had to piss really bad.
There were literally no restrooms open anywhere.
I see this alley, I go back there I am relieving myself
and the next thing I know,
I'm pissing all over my shoes
because the cop handcuffed...
[bottle breaking]
That was the wall of a daycare center.
A closed daycare center.
- Is that true?
- Yeah. It's true.
I mean you can look up the court record
that those things are really dry.
And I just gave the cliff notes version
and it's really hard to defend yourself
against pedophilia allegations wearing a fucking bow tie.
[soft humming]
[TV humming softly]
- We are rolling?
- Yeah, we are rolling.
[camera clicking]
When I was younger I did this thing called geocaching.
It's kind of like scavenger hunting,
but for adults with the GPS
and 10 or 20 years ago I found this book
and it was really cool
kind of pseudoscience coffee table book.
It's called the "Geometry of Magnetism."
And it's written in like Esperanto
and the author's name was redacted.
I swear to you, that symbol is on the cover of my book.
- What? That's not very ghost like.
- No.
Do I seem okay?
- I don't know.
I don't know you.
- No, I mean, do I seem like
I'm having some kind of a psychotic break?
- No, psychotic breaks are totally different.
[soft wind whistling]
- If you're a ghost, do something.
[soft wind whistling]
Do something different.
I mean, we don't actually have any reason
to think that this is a ghost or a Poltergeist.
It's the first of movies or books that you've read.
We might have this all wrong.
- So what is it?
- That's the question?
[resonant rejuvenating music]
The symbol that's on my book
and that was on that refraction.
I swear to God, I've also been seeing it all over the city.
[resonant rejuvenating music]
Look, all of this is the EM spectrum,
ElectroMagnetic spectrum, it's radio waves on up
to the visible light and this is using derivatives
to find acceleration of velocity,
but look the value for gravity is wrong.
They just changed it. And I don't really know why.
And then this is a ratio
that's kind of like pi,
which people call them golden ratio.
- Are we quoting Dan Brown books right now?
- What?
- I'm not making it a Divinci Code documentary.
- No, Jesus, no, it's just a ratio.
It's not exactly the Fibonacci sequence or phi
or the golden ratio or whatever.
It's just an irrational number
with infinite decimals out to infinity.
There are millions of irrational numbers.
This is common in the world and in math.
And it has something to do with a rectangle,
that when it's expressed as a ratio,
it is that irrational number.
I don't know what it means either.
- This has nothing to do with nautilus shells
the Grail or Stonehenge?
[airplane engine roaring]
[electric static noise]
- Everything we've seen so far.
It's either been on
the EM spectrum visible light, radio waves or...
[resonant rejuvenating music]
Gravity.
[resonant rejuvenating music]
- Okay. So it's like,
There is one for gravity
and there's one for electrical shock.
- Electromagnetism.
- Right, yeah.
- Maybe there's two of them.
- Two what?
Man, I hope the neighbors are all right?
- I heard there was a murder.
- Hey, I keep having this thought.
Mind giving me a light really quick?
- I got you.
- Jesus.
Okay.
Here you go. Don't forget you get to inhale.
- When we first met, you said this phrase,
it was, "You can only fall so fast."
Why did you say that?
- I wanted to be a skydive instructor.
- No shit.
- Yeah.
- How many times did you jump?
- One.
- And then I was like,
Hey, maybe I'll like start a band,
but how do you find all those different people
to play those individual instruments?
And then I was like,
well, maybe I'll get into like
the skateboard apparel industry,
but for some reason my parol counselor
was really against me getting into fashion.
And I wanted to work on a fishing boat in Jamaica,
maybe like surfing tours or something.
But there's some legal issues with the passport.
The point is that nothing ever quite clicked.
- Yes. I floated around a lot too.
I feel like I was built for this.
- I would also think I was built for this
if my thing was electricity
and treasure hunting and not gravity.
- There's nothing to that?
- I mean my entire life,
I felt like there's like this invisible force
just holding me back from accomplishing anything
I dream about, anything I want to do.
- That's super depressing
and you should talk to a therapist about that.
- I am not like a continuously depressed person.
This cop just totally parked in my space.
I just feel like someone chucked me out of an airplane
when I was a baby.
And I've been at terminal velocity my entire life.
I didn't ask that person to chuck me out of that airplane.
[cop cursing]
- How does your parole work.
[deep breathing]
[knock on the door]
You know it's insanely weird
that you give apples to kids for Halloween.
Actually you know it's weird,
is that their parents don't just check
the sex offender registry before they send them marching up
to your door.
You know, they're gonna check
those apples for razors though.
- The OD across the way was originally
put it is a murder
and parents still bring their children there.
I don't think they're worried about
the who guy peed on a wall.
[camera shuttering]
[ominous music]
[door cringing]
[ominous music]
[items clattering]
- [Robert] Well, basically when people buy
or build on a property,
they hire me to come in
and assess for any geologic hazards,
landslides, seismic activity, sink holes, volcanoes.
- [John] Volcanoes? Are you serious?
- Yeah. Volcanoes.
[ominous music]
- [John] That's awesome.
Can you just tell me what you found
in the soil samples beneath the apartment?
- Yeah. Well, I know you were concerned
that there were some anomalies.
The chromium was a little high.
There was some Lead in there.
I have some from pre 1978 paint job,
but everything was okay.
No more arsenic or anything like that.
- [John] The other. The other thing I know.
- What's that?
- [John] The crystal thing.
- The crystal?
- Are you all right?
[footsteps approaching]
- Do you mind shooting this real quick?
- Why?
- Well, it's supposed to be 175
and it's obviously much lower.
And if gravity is fluctuating
that much it could be really messing
with the foundation of the building
and that earthquake had just been a warning shot.
- I don't want to invalidate what you're saying at all.
It's just, you know what I mean we live in Los Angeles,
there's earthquakes all the time
and people's weight fluctuates. It's normal.
I mean, it just think
we've got to be kind of scientific about this,
we can't just assign meaning to every little thing.
- I get all that,
but if in a month we got from some floating things
and some lights to earthquakes by New Year's
we would be under rubble.
And we did agree when we started this,
that if we felt like we were in danger, we'd stop.
And I'm not saying we should stop.
I think we should at least acknowledge this.
- I've been giving some thought to that title you suggested.
And honestly I think I just judged it a little too early
and I think it's thematically resonant
with what we're trying to do here.
And I think we should use it.
- "The door that wouldn't shut."
[ghostly whistling]
[Electric static noise]
[ominous music]
- Hey, can you mute that really quick?
[ominous music]
[door cringing]
[ominous music]
- I listen to this podcast,
actually can you record that really quick on your camera?
- So, we're rolling.
- I have this podcast that I listened to by,
I don't even know.
He has this kind of wild unifying theory
of the universe that the aliens actually planted
the building blocks of life on earth
as some kind of a science experiment.
And they don't want to contaminate their experiment,
which is why we don't hear from them,
but we will make contact
or they will make contact at some point
once we are socially and politically evolved enough.
So maybe that's now maybe that's us,
and maybe the heat and all these critters
and all of that is just the flora and fauna
and weather on another planet.
- And that's actually a really interesting,
do you mind if I jump in there and just kind of, okay,
I'm just gonna have to get that frame up.
So here's the thing,
I saw online the other day
that basically scientists think
that there are some planets sort of like earth, right?
But the nearest one,
like the nearest one that would have water,
the nearest one to have like little critter
like the one we've been hearing,
it would be like 6,000 years away using
the best technology we could possibly come up with.
That being what it is,
how do we explain it being in my attic?
Also, where did you hear this podcast?
- Just on a message board somewhere.
- Are there message pods for more things
than like anime and finding contract killers and stuff?
- Just because something sounds
a little bit crazy doesn't mean it's not partially true.
I mean, that's how you find truth.
MK ultra, that was actually mind control.
COINTELPRO that was real,
soft disclosure of UFO's just happened to Congress.
- Here we are at the launch status center.
Let's go inside and see if we can find anybody to talk to.
NASA has known about a time travel method
of Albert Einstein.
He said, if you travel at the speed of light,
you can time travel.
- Time travel.
- Start over.
[ominous music]
- There is no light source.
[ominous music]
- Crystal?
You mean the quartz deposits?
- [John] Yeah, and how
it can create electricity and focus.
- It definitely doesn't create electricity.
Quartz is the most abundant mineral in the world.
If you have them underneath your house you're fine.
[soft humming]
[ominous music]
- [John] In your own words.
Just say what happened here?
- I think that if one was to express
what you thought happened to you,
it might be seen as trying
to garner some fame and attention.
- [John] Wind a minute, you know, these things found us,
we're not doing it for fame or recognition
or anything like that.
We just saw something profound
and we wanted to share it with the world.
I don't know what the problem with that would be.
- I don't want to be rude.
- [John] It's okay. It's okay.
- Why didn't you play yourselves in the recreations?
[door banging]
- Is that exactly where the snake skin was?
- Yeah. It was a little bit more in a closet,
but I just pulled it a little out for the shot,
just so it would show up more on camera on this side.
- Okay. Cool.
Well, I mean your sleep looked great.
You wanna cut?
- Yeah. Okay. Awesome.
- All right. It's so weird doing all this stuff over again.
It's like you're taking too many edibles
and watch Unsolved Mysteries
and you think you on the recreation sketch.
- [John] Nope.
- Pod of Orcas,
apex predator of the sea
and obviously an Orca has never attacked
a human in the wild,
but still just out of fucking respect.
I hold out on the spear
and one of them swims over.
I call him Shamoo.
He swam over and just gently ate
the stingray right off my spear
and then swims away with the pod singing
these beautiful whale songs like just for me.
- Hey I keep on having this idea.
Actually do you mind rolling this really quick?
I'm sorry. I just.
- Yeah. Yeah. Let's do this.
- So I think you're right about
the distance thing with the aliens,
I think it's impossible to had any contact,
it's too far away,
but if the universe is actually
in 10 dimensions like this Ted talk I listened to,
maybe these gateways to other dimensions
are actually just all around us.
And the gateways are right top of us.
We just can't see them.
So maybe your closet down there,
that's just another gateway to another dimension
that has different temperatures
and different flora and fauna and our creators,
trying to get us to do something.
You like it?
- See, that and this,
just a couple of things I'm gonna miss about LA.
- I think you're crazy if you are leaving.
- I mean, this is gonna change everything.
- The other night I was leaving my shift at work.
I heard a little buzz
and I'm walking home, walking up Sunset.
There is always people who are getting ready
for some big, dirty crazy night out.
And you kind of feel the energy of it.
And the Santa Ana winds are blowing
and I look over and it's another coyote.
He's looking right through me like I'm a ghost.
And then he just trots off,
down Sunset Boulevard, that big old coyote smile.
And no one talks about like those moments in Los Angeles.
People talk about the traffic.
People talk about everything else,
everything they can complain about,
but they never talk about like those magical LA moments.
- Yeah. You got to dig deep in the city for it but
Magic is there.
- Today I had this fantasy,
I am living in some small town,
like a small town, like in Stephen King stories,
where you can afford rent
and like some big ass Victorian house
and get a dog and go to summer festivals
and eat fresh produce.
And this documentary would be like my retirement fund
for that life.
- You know, they chose this location for Hollywood
because of the beautiful light?
I am no Hemingway but I feel like we found light literally
and metaphorically just right down in your apartment.
Maybe you should take that as a sign.
Stick around a little while longer,
finish this documentary.
You'll see another magic coyote.
Maybe I can set you up with someone.
- Here we go.
- What?
- Like I've never been attracted to anyone.
And that is a very hard thing
to explain to people that you'd be interested in dating.
[airplane engine roaring]
- It's getting a little unsettling.
- You don't think that has anything
to do with what we're doing downstairs,
like it's Bermuda triangle shit.
- No. I get the no attraction thing,
but you know, Lonnie for all of his faults,
for all the reasons it didn't really work out between us,
to me at least he was accepting,
he wanted to bring kids into this apocalypse,
which is bonkers.
- How do you mean?
- I was out with this guy one time on one of the apps
and we're talking about all the ways
that the world could end.
I mean, we're all gonna die, right?
We're so fixated on not dying,
but it's all gonna happen to us.
So what's the big deal?
I mean what's even the big deal
with like genocides and then the conversation naturally led
to my church and people get all binary
when they hear the word evangelicals.
I mean, people use this phrase to give themselves peace.
"This too shall pass," right?
But you can just say,
"This to shall end."
It's the same sentiment, the world's ending for sure. Right?
So why even worry?
You know, it's kinda like you not wanting
to do it with anyone.
You don't understand it unless it's you.
- Alright. Actually I got to get to bed.
- Actually the bar is open soon
if you want we can just grab a quick drink.
- No, I've got to work tonight.
[ominous music]
- [Narrator] That makes them quite literally the angels
and not just Abrahamic religions,
but very likely the Samaritans and Babylonians.
Well folks tonight, this lone voice in the desert,
will talk to author, Jesse Summoner, about his latest book,
"Inter-dimensional Angels,
Spirituality in an Ultra-Terrestrial
World Multi-Verse."
As well as his lecture series
on the works of John Keel
and research in the so-called Arcadian time anomalies,
in the world, San Diego.
- Why are you dressed like that?
- I don't want to get bit by a black widow.
If this thing, going against the walls.
Bit someone.
We didn't call animal control. I feel really bad.
- I thought I'd measure
because building codes have standardized ratios
for a long time.
So you can buy third-party stuff from Home Depot.
Your closet threshold has a different ratio
than the rest of the building.
[ominous music]
[glass shattering]
[ominous music]
- Holy shit.
[ominous music]
[electric static from the device]
[machine whirring indistinctly]
- There's this thing called Jerusalem syndrome.
It's when people go to
that city for the first time in the modern day,
they get the sense that their whole life led to that moment.
I think maybe that's what I'm doing.
- That's what they speak in Jerusalem?
- No, that was Greek.
- I had this really cool math teacher,
the one that got me into math.
And she was this hippie
that would do these long units
on interesting mathematicians.
And she did this whole week on Pythagoras.
You know, the triangle guy?
A squared + B squared?
High school, middle school?
Anyway, he actually had this society,
some people called it a cult,
but it was called the Pythagorean brotherhood.
And they did everything from a numerology to reincarnation,
to, you know, ritual summoning magic.
They worshiped numbers.
What I'm getting at is I fully recognize
that I might be all Jerusalem syndrome
in LA right now, but I think maybe that's what this is.
I think it's the Pythagoras.
- Well, why can't be a group like the Freemasons
or the Moose Lodge or...
- What's that?
- The one that's on discovery channel all the time.
It's the Rose Croutons.
- The Rose Croutons?
The Rosicrucian's.
Yeah. I mean,
I guess it could be any fraternal organization,
but when you want to figure this out, right?
- So you're saying the shitty apartment next door
is a magic Greek temple.
[ominous music]
- This is just dream logic.
- This isn't a year.
It is the number of days I spent in a mental institution
when I was a teenager.
- It's like all of your teenage years, what for?
- You're part of an evangelical Armageddon church.
And you're judging me for managing my mental health
at a young age?
- I'm not, I'm sincerely not.
And is that what you've been acting so weird about today?
My church group?
- I am acting weird
because you compared my sexual identity
to your apocalypse church.
[ominous music]
- We celebrate Christmas without believing in Santa, right?
It's like that.
It's exactly like that.
We celebrate and talk about the end
because it gives us a sense of community, progress...
[diminishing voice]
- My first thought was,
"This is my cue to leave."
Then I'm walking to Griffith park
and I'm taking umm...
And I come across this park bench
that has this plaque on it.
And on the plaque is William Thomson
from the tape who turns out was the city planner.
- Good work.
- And I felt like I made a discovery.
I made a break through.
[phone ringing]
[upbeat music]
[Levi snoring]
[upbeat music]
[ominous music]
[upbeat music]
[ominous music]
[crystal falling]
[electric static]
[slow ominous humming]
[gentle pianissimo music]
You left the windows closed again.
The closet is trying to cook us in our sleep.
- Sorry about that.
I looked up who owned that website
and I just found this social media profile left up
as a Memorial to some dead guy.
- We just sorta run something past you.
What if that is stop?
You know, and what if the other night
when that block of quartz was almost dropped to my head
what if that was a message that was like, "Hey, stop."
- We're not quite in dangerous uncharted territory yet.
I mean, Jesus man, we're in Laurel Canyon.
Harry Houdini used to live here,
Jim Morrison used to live here, I don't know.
Maybe we were just the most recent people
that tap into its special frequency or something.
- You realized that everyone
you just said had a horrible death.
[gentle guitar music]
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
[gentle guitar music]
Hey can you play with it?
[guitar music]
Yeah. Okay. Keep playing. I'll be right back.
[brisk guitar music]
Pythagoras had this thing called the Honey of the Spheres.
Where he believed that the movement
of the stars corresponded to musical notes
and the musical notes will make a symphony.
So play again, but just really slow because I suck.
I've only play this thing a few times.
- Alright.
[soft guitar music]
- All right see. Higher.
- Actually, I think we might be good.
I think we kinda got the, you know, how it works
and how this does the whole thing.
- I don't think anyone's gonna buy half a documentary.
- The thing is pretty heavy.
- Hey, I really get it,
we are on to something.
Just do it for me please.
Thank you. Alright.
[rapid guitar music]
[high pitched electric static]
- Oh, what the fuck.
[alarm blaring]
- I mean Beethoven was deaf.
Are your ears still ringing?
- My ears are so fucked they cannot get any worse.
- Are you in a band or something.
- I wish I was in a band.
I worked the summer at symphony hall in San Antonio
and something about the acoustics there.
Night after night just battered my ear drums.
- Oh man, I would've quit.
- [Levi] Couldn't quit. It was my job, I had to pay my rent.
- Oh yeah, sorry.
- It was part of another probation program.
- Another one?
- I'm not offended.
I get, this is really entertaining for you,
but this one involves my sister
and out of respect for her,
I'd rather just not talk about it, especially on camera.
- [John] Oh yeah, yeah. Sorry about that.
Yeah. Camera is off.
So think about every little thing
that's taking you to this moment so far,
can't change anything by like a second.
And we never even meet these things.
- No closet, no symbol. No 1908.
[traffic light beeping]
That was amazing.
- Yeah. I mean, what's crazier?
Believing every single coincidence you ever see
or just ignoring them all.
- In last week. Yeah. Timing changes everything.
- I thought this through, stay with me,
you and me, our whole lives.
We've seen all of these movies and TV shows and video games
that are basically about simulations, right.
And right now,
me and you are making a film referencing simulations.
Isn't this all totally stuff
that you would program into your own simulation?
- So there were these neuroscientists on it
that were saying that unconscious minds
have their own agendas.
Maybe the entities are controlling our unconscious minds
in order to get us to do something
like that signaling contact,
but the receivers are our limbic systems.
- And then someday someone's gonna watch this finished film.
I'll be watching from their simulations
and all of their simulations will collide
with this simulation right here.
- I'd say, I just can't figure out
what that has to do with the Pythagorean,
but I think it's really cool.
- All right. What you're saying makes perfect sense, but...
- What is?
- Cats, there are these parasites
that you can get from cats
that actually mind control humans.
That's totally real. You can look it up.
There's cats all around our buildings
so we can totally have these parasites.
They might be using these parasites to control us.
Schizophrenia increased around the turn of the century,
which is right around the cat ownership became common.
- I've actually got to get to work.
We should wrap this up.
- I mean, we haven't even checked
like a third of the grave site.
- Well, I can't call in sick again
chasing down apparently my shitty theory.
[ominous music]
- Yeah. I don't know how you knew
that that was my phone number.
That's a pretty well coincidence.
- [John] It's nearly impossible.
- I mean, statistically it's impossible
that coincidences don't happen.
- [John] You were compelled to bring
in Dr. Rita Miller, right?
A chemistry PhD from UCLA.
And what was the point at which you thought,
"All right, time to bring in the big guns?"
- I suspected that there may be some impaired thinking,
which is a side effect of chromium and lead.
So I referred what I found
to a chemist that I knew in undergrad,
Rita, also her PhD is in music history,
It's not in chemistry.
- I think I would be most natural.
It was like, I was doing something else,
and then you just walked up and you're like,
"Hey, you guys do this like documentary thing."
And then you just do it that way.
And then we get to the chemist to drop off soil sample.
She wants to sign an NDA,
but it does turn out that her wife went
to high school with John's sister.
- [John] Hang on, it's messing up the audio.
- We get to the chemist to drop off the soil sample
and she will not sign an NDA.
- Hang on you just look like your picking up lenses...
- She will not sign an NDA.
- No, you look like you're putting up lenses
and put them down, stop.
- And she will not sign an NDA,
but it turns out that high school had the same name
as the street that John found the first symbol.
And the phenomenon just dried up. Just stopped.
- [John] Can we just do that last little bit,
but just kind of like dark and mysterious
so that you can imagine the music
and bite the apple with finality theme
so we can cut out on it.
- Finality. Yeah. Got it.
And then the phenomenon just dried up. Just stopped.
- [John] Wait, can we do it without the glasses?
[static humming]
- Hey, you look cool.
You are a real smoker. Good at it.
[camera shuttering]
[radio speaking indistinctly]
I'm a little lighter, which I have mixed feelings about,
but maybe a little phenomenon kicking in.
[radio speaking indistinctly]
I admit it.
[static noises]
- The radio station is 1908.
- Radios like that don't go that high, do they?
- No, they don't.
[static noises]
- Can you record this.
[static noises from radio]
- Okay. Just get focus.
- You are getting it?
- [Radio] Of this apocalypse was...
- Did you roll any of that?
- I'm rolling now,
but I'm not really sure what I'm rolling on,
but the good news is
that any time this stuff happens once it happens twice
and camera's ready
and we'll just wait for it to happen again.
- And what if it doesn't?
[ominous music]
- All right. So it's been a few weeks since any weird stuff
so I am thinking, it's time for me
to finally get out of the city.
I just got to tell John, which is awkward.
[phone ringing]
- [John] Hey, I know I'm supposed
to legally ask you for consent to record,
but this is really,
It's kinda huge, so just know it's recording. Cool?
Yeah. Right.
Hey man, this is hard to say, but I'm leaving. I gotta
be totally up by the first or they take my security deposit
[John interrupting]
- So last night I'm downstairs
and just helping Lonnie through a vulnerable moment
he was having.
- Is that enough?
- Yeah.
- And I look at the apartment next door
and here it was, I found it.
The floating doorway
and the door was just wide open.
So I walk in...
[lock shattering]
And inside there's just a whole bunch
of these strays Sphinx cats,
And there was this...
- [Levi] What?
[ominous music]
So if they made that person over there, OD,
then that's like a sacrifice.
And it was a sacrifice.
That means this whole thing is a ritual.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess everything started right
when she OD, so that's a really good theory.
- Wait, didn't you say it was
a guy walking his dog, the junkie?
- You ever have a dream
that you suspect is actually just a buried memory?
- I hope not, my dreams are terrifying.
[people yelling]
- I keep on having this recurring dream
that I think might have actually happened to me,
where I'm a kid and I'm watching TV.
There's a symbol in Budapest
in Middle East, in somewhere I don't recognize.
But then I think maybe it's just my brain being manipulated
by this place telling me to figure it out.
[closet door creaking]
What's with your closet?
What's this building? What's your apartment?
I mean, jeez, something about this city,
maybe like some kind of a receiver,
transmitted something like a satellite dish.
[Knock on the door]
[ominous music]
Check it out.
Yeah. Okay. This city was designed according to this tablet.
Yeah. See these neighborhoods
and these parks are all on the same grid like configuration.
I mean, I guess in 1908,
when about when all of those would have been put up.
Fred Thompson would have been supervising
the planning on that, so...
- I just checked Quora and there is no succulent,
no cactus, not anything like that, that grows fruit.
That looks like that.
[ominous music]
- I'm gonna try to eat it.
- Actually pause for a second.
This dishwasher at work, he ate this cactus.
He thought was peyote and he got this mouth infection
and they had to remove his jaw.
- I might be one of the first people
in the universe to taste an inter-dimensional fruit.
If I died doing that, I'm fine with that.
[ominous music]
- Is that morse code?
[banging on the door]
[suspenseful music]
- Oh my God.
- What?
- It's a book.
- Someone left us a book?
- The delivery guy left us a book
because I bought a book about the neighborhood on Amazon.
- Fucking asshole, I almost stabbed a mailman.
I found the original survey of this land parcel.
And yes, indeed the original city planners
did use this shape in order
to define the real estate borders.
Brief glimpse at the history of this patch of dirt,
tells us precisely why they might've done that.
Did you know that Aldous Huxley once
had a Mescalin experience that was mystical
and changed his entire life, just over the hill.
Jack Parsons of the jet propulsion laboratory
and sex magic fame,
for a very brief time rented one of these apartments.
And also if one were to examine the soil,
he'd find evidence of a meteorite strike.
Might be natural to ask what exactly
were the early Pythagorean city planners doing here.
Well, it's the same thing as us,
researching the gateway.
Gateway or science,
meets magic.
[ominous music]
How's that?
- That was great.
I really liked the accent.
- Was I doing an accent?
- No it sounds like a Hobbit. It was awesome.
- Should we retake it?
- No, we're great,
but wait, there's an extra little piece at the end, right?
- The part about if we're for,
I don't think we're gonna use it.
And even if we were wrong about everything else,
it has always been here, here in this patch of dirt.
Actually, by the way I was thinking about it.
That should be the title, "Something in the Dirt",
not "Something in the Light".
- You hear that?
[morse code beeping]
- That's morse code.
[morse code beeping]
- How'd you know which one was langitude
and which one was lotitude.
- Latitude and longitude, and I didn't.
If you swap those two coordinates,
you end up at Point Nemo,
the most isolated place on earth
in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
So the place in the middle of the Pacific
is gonna be plan B
and the place that's right near us
in the desert is gonna be plan A.
- What's this?
I thought you said you had this book
since you were a teenager.
- I did. I just got it reprinted when we needed it,
because it was kind of falling apart.
- Really?
- Yeah. Stop being paranoid. It's weird.
[ominous music]
[static noise]
[ominous music]
[shrill static noise]
I was wondering if maybe that's sacrifice next door.
Maybe that's the quartz
and the building is foundation needs.
Blood, like life energy in order to carry the signals
that communicate with the mind parasites.
I know sounds kind of nuts, but I'm just riffing here.
You want to get back on the road.
- Yeah. This is the same zip code
as the beach I spear fish at,
and that is the beach which I spear fish at.
- I don't know it kind of looks like
It could be a beach anywhere though, right?
- It really looks like it.
- I am just trying to make sure that we stay on track
so we get the right answer.
"Speed is fine, but accuracy is final."
Wyatt Earp said that.
- Okay. Hi, I'm Michael.
I was brought in later in
the whole process of the documentary
because the edit was getting.
Basically John empowered me
to give my point of view.
You know, the one that he couldn't see,
keep it objective.
At first I thought if we all trusted each other
and the checks cleared
and that's when John was in control
and it was what it was.
But then after the radiation incident.
[static noise]
[suspenseful music]
[ominous music]
- All right. First things first,
I need you to stay calm
because I have this completely under control, okay?
- What's up John?
- The electromagnetic spectrum does not end in visible light
and infrared, there's also the UV part of the spectrum.
And I have a sunburn
that was caused by ultraviolet rays, look.
That could be x-ray radiation.
We might've been walking around in gamma rays for months.
It mutated that plant,
who knows what it's doing to our DNA.
We might not even be human anymore.
[Levi mumbling]
Now have constructed this radiation suit
because we can't let building management
sending the EMF inspector
and I closed all the windows just to be safe.
So, give it a look.
[radiation suite rustling]
[ominous music]
It cooked the plant.
What's with the skull?
- So I downloaded geocache app
and I put in the zip code from the redacted manuscript
and coordinates came up for the beach that I Spearfish at.
And I swam down in the reef and I found that guy.
- You did that?
- Well, you know, you're not supposed
to keep geocaches catches, right?
- I know, I just figured since
it was probably relevant to what we're doing, but...
[Levi chuckling]
Wait, you keep geocaches all the time.
- How is a fake scull relevant.
- How do you know it's a fake skull?
- You cooked the fucking hard drives.
- We both cooked the fucking hard drives.
- You are the video...
[both arguing indistinctly]
You are the fucking video organizer.
And I told you a million fucking times,
to open the windows.
- Was I supposed to do man?
Just let radiation billow out
all over Laurel Canyon like Chernobyl.
- There is no radiation.
And you left the hard drives next
to the hottest place in the whole fucking apartment.
- They're not all cooked. We'll just recreate something.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- As soon as I talked to him,
he said, okay, this is all real.
What I need you to redo,
and whatever the fuck that means,
and what really sucks was that Stefania
was like this we are not going to give them the footage.
until we get paid.
I'd personally hold onto that footage
until they get paid and we got fired.
And now we're on what would be the sixth editor, seven?
How many is it?
[door unlocking]
- I thought you're working tonight.
My carbon monoxide detector went off
and I'm gonna have someone take a look
at it tomorrow morning,
but in the meantime, it's for my own safety,
I'm gonna stay on up here tonight.
- Actually, I'm not working tonight
and I kinda need my spot.
- I mean, maybe I could just stay in the bedroom.
If you're gonna stay out here.
[radio humming indistinctly]
[ceremonial music]
- Welcome back.
[rapid ceremonial music]
[diminishing ceremonial music]
- Is it the biggest fluctuation yet.
[ground rumbling]
I'm telling you, man, this can be really dangerous.
This structure could be...
- Every building in LA since 1978
has been retrofitted for earthquakes.
Come on, they are back, come on.
Thought it would be a kind of a big night
at the bar, right? New Year's?
- I got fired.
- Really?
- Yeah. And if we're gonna keep taking beers,
will you please replenish them like I asked
to replenish fucking times.
- I'm sure you're gonna find
another bartending gig, right?
- I liked my job and bartending jobs
are insanely hard to find in Los Angeles.
I'm leaving anyways. Fuck it.
- Wait, you're still gonna go.
Thread just picked up, you're just gonna go?
- I don't have a thread.
You have a thread and hoax skeletons
and non-existent radiation aren't part of it.
This new stuff doesn't add up.
Better explanations will be
that you got fucking brain damage from reduced gravity.
- Do you think that maybe you blame random shit on gravity,
because you don't want to bother to figure out
what's really going on?
- Why do you do that?
- Do what Levi?
- Somehow everything everyone else says as absurd,
but fucking...
[ominous music]
[rapid suspenseful music]
- Roll the security camera.
- It's glitching again it's frozen.
- You got to restart it in
the playback part of the app.
- No shit.
What's this?
- Came in and it looked like your bag had exploded.
So I cleaned up your mess.
- Weird because it looks like you're going through my shit.
- Yeah. I accidentally saw some legal documents
and sure I suppose that you're not
what most people would think of as a real sex offender.
But what you are is a person
who helped his sister rob construction sites.
And I'm pretty sure your license
is suspended for some unpaid parking tickets.
- All right, here's what happened.
I was helping her get back something
that she said was hers.
And that was probably a really stupid thing to do.
But I did it because I felt guilty
about giving her her first bump.
And I have no idea why I'm explaining
this to an asshole extremist
who lives off of with his ex-husband.
- You know what it makes a whole lot of sense
that you turned your sister into a junkie.
Did that kill her?
[suspenseful music]
Yeah. Go ahead and record this.
[ominous music]
You know why I think you're leaving?
It's because you are allergic to success.
You're a fuck up.
And you wear it like some kind of a badge of honor
and you dress like a child
so that nobody ever expects anything of you.
To be really honest.
I think if we actually found some success
in this thing we're trying to do,
you'd find a way to fuck that up.
- What have you had the success at?
Actually don't tell me, I don't give a shit.
I'm just fascinated that in addition
to being an unemployed arrogant, fascist,
you're also a compulsive liar.
- Actually I've made more money
than you've ever seen in your entire life.
- John you're a scooter wrangler.
- And you are the oldest bartender in LA,
I bet your parents are really proud of that.
- Wait, what did you do with all that money?
- I donated it.
- To who? To what?
- To my church.
- You're right, I'm a fuck up,
but at least I'm not a gullible fraud.
I mean, you put away the courts collection
and the snake skins before I come over at least
and hide the receipts for the shit you fabricated.
[ominous music]
- You know I think I just realized
that I'm glad that you're leaving
because the only reason I'm doing this with you
is because you just happened to pay rent
on this stupid place by coincidence.
It really upsets me to watch you deceive yourself thinking
that it's gonna be any better where you're going,
because you don't realize
that you still have to live with being you.
You're a fuck up. You're a criminal.
And you have a low IQ.
[suspenseful music]
- Sometimes I wonder if these two things
are just like you and me,
like one of them manipulating the other one
and one in this rabbit hole to nowhere.
And the other one just comes
to simply going along with it
because he just wants to believe in something different
than his actual life.
- Maybe the complicit one's life wouldn't be so shitty
if he was smart enough to dig his own rabbit hole.
Maybe the gravity one shouldn't blame
the electromagnetism one for the fact
that he was a piece of a long time
before they ever met.
- Shit I just realized,
you're neither one of them,
but best here, whatever is slithering in the ceiling,
just a big fucking reptile.
I am done. Get the fuck out.

- If it helps, I felt that quake down in the garage.
- That was a real earthquake?
You and me aren't friends.
I mean, I don't have any friends or family.
I still wouldn't choose to spend time with you
if we weren't working on this thing together,
that said it's a lot easier to believe
that someone is pure evil when in actuality,
it's really unlikely that either one of us is.
- Well. I don't know.
One of us could be.
- Either way. I want all these threads to add up,
but there's just more threads.
- All right.
Tomorrow morning, oh jeez, I guess in a few hours,
I'll have somebody come take a look
at the apartment and if it's safe,
you and I can hold up down there until you move on
to wherever you're going.
And I'll just stay in my car tonight.
- No, you're probably right
if this place is gonna sink into the ground
it would've already.
I'll sleep on this guy.
Shove it in there just to be safe,
you can take my room.
- All right.
Hey.
Can I have a second beer to help me sleep?

Tornado could explain it.
There was one here in Los Angeles once in 1908.
I like to think that he's out there somewhere still though,
you know, sitting by a pool, sipping on a brew,
talking the ear off some stranger with like tall tale
or a fishing story or something.
In Idaho or Tucson
or wherever his lease started the next morning.
[somber music]
But, he is not.
[somber music]
They gave me this little box this plastic urn of his ashes.
And I tried to find some family
or friends to give it to,
but he wasn't lying there was no one.
I mean, his parents died a decade ago.
His little sister was on something
that night at the construction site.
And she slipped.
But I honestly think that he's up there thanking God,
that he got to be part of something profound
to break up his mundane existence.
I mean, we should all hope
to be able to do something important
like that before we die.
You got to keep rolling.
I know you gotta get going.
- [Interviewer] I'm actually on my way out.
I need to prep the disks
for whoever is gonna take my place now.
I got to go.
- Yeah, most people end up feeling a little too close to it.
That makes sense.
You got any burning questions
for me you on your way out?
- [Interviewer] Actually just the same as everyone I guess.
What happened?
- You know, there is worst ways to die
than floating away in zero gravity.
I bet he just froze to death
or suffocated up in the atmosphere,
long time before even starting falling.
I mean I don't even think he felt the impact.
- [Interviewer] No, I mean,
what do you think happened here?
With all the phenomenon and all that?
- There was something like seven different William Thompsons
in early 20th century Los Angeles.
Some of my figures were off.
- [Interviewer] Which figures?
- Some of them.
[somber music]
- I think among all the dramatizations and visual effects.
I still believe part of it was real.
I don't think anyone can say which part at this point, but
something happened.
- So, I couldn't find any evidence
of the Pythagorean brotherhoods.
So I couldn't find any evidence
of the Pythagorean brotherhood.
So I couldn't find any evidence
of the Pythagorean brotherhood being active in centuries,
but that's the point of a secret society, right?
It's secret. You can't see it.
It's like electricity.
Can't see that, but you know it has power.
So, you know, I'm not done.
Find the pattern.
When you're at the center of it.
It all fits.
Eventually.
