:29:04
Well, he had a,
um, like...
:29:07
- You Val?
- Yes.
:29:10
- You the nurse?
- Yes.
:29:13
- You done with her?
- Yeah. Take her.
:29:16
Come here.
:29:19
- I don't know what to tell you.
- Yeah. Shut up.
:29:22
Listen.
:29:25
No. Really listen.
Both ears.
:29:27
Nod to tell me both ears
are listening. All right.
:29:29
I've dealt with a thousand bodies in
this office. Floaters, crispy critters,
:29:33
bunk bait; bodies you wouldn't
even know were bodies if it
wasn't for a driver's license.
:29:36
- Yes, well, I don't see
what that has to do...
- Don't talk, Val.
:29:38
Bodies chopped and minced and skinned
and used as table decorations.
:29:43
- That's your job.
- You're talking again.
Yeah. No. Listen.
:29:47
Four years ago, a body came in here
tattooed like those;
:29:52
crushed like those;
eyeless.
:29:55
But hey, I'm a sport.
I play along.
:29:58
I tried to determine
what had rolled into my office.
:30:00
But the questions just got deeper.
No sign of growth,
:30:03
no white cells,
no optic nerves.
:30:05
I realized what was there before me
had never been born.
:30:07
- That's not possible.
- That's what I thought.
:30:10
And then it was gone. Burned up in
a flash one night. All the records...
:30:14
Everything to indicate that
it had been there disappeared.
:30:16
Everybody that had anything
to do with that body...
:30:19
has either died...
or gone mad,
:30:21
- including my friend Thomas.
- Who's he?
:30:24
A detective.
Became a monk.
:30:26
- He used to send me cheese wheels
every Christmas.
- Where can I find him?
:30:30
You can't. He's dead.
:30:33
Burnt to ash up at
St. Gregory's Monastery.
:30:35
What do you mean,
"burnt to ash"?
:30:39
You look like
a nice person, Val.
:30:41
Take my advice:
walk away.
:30:43
Don't get involved
whatever you do.
:30:46
Get the lights.
