Something in the Dirt (2022) - full transcript

(bells tinkling gently)

(birds chirping)

(soft wind whistling)

(soft gentle music)

(items cluttering)

(door hinge cringing)

(gentle wind blowing)

(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.

- 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.

- Well here is like Halloween,
which is 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
ride 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 we 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 face 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, I am into 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 Mustang,

same bottle, 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 filming 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.

- And is safe?

- Yeah, it's just like a
all natural amino acids.

(ominous music)

(upbeat religious 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, are the neighbors 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 traveler 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

because 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 parts 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?

- My guy, 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 going 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 make
