King of the Ring Page #4

( indistinct dialogue on TV )

( door slides open )

RoII credits.

That was very student fiIm.

I'm sure it's a Iot...

scarier at night.

( phone ringing )

( breathing shakily )

( ringing continues )

You going to get that?

( ringing continues )

( ringing stops )

So, you been working a Iot?

I'm not tired, Noah.

Okay.

That tape didn't scare you?

No, not reaIIy. Sorry.

Four peopIe are dead.

Yeah, but Iike I said,

not from watching...

Four peopIe who watched it.

Come on, we watched it.

We're hanging.

It... takes a week.

Right. Yeah, I'm just

going to go downtown.

I got to pick up some

cameras from this guy

and then I got

to prep this thing

that I may end up

doing next week.

--Noah...

--Hmm?

WouId you say that I'm guIIibIe?

No.

EasiIy rattIed?

DefiniteIy not.

I mean, you're a IittIe

highIy strung maybe.

And you ain't much

of a dresser.

Who made it?

Where'd it come from?

AII right.

Make me a copy.

I'II see what I can do.

Thanks.

Yeah.

( door closes )

( beep )

( phones ringing,

typewriters clacking )

( whirring )

( eerie humming and whining )

( woman singing softly )

( blipping, whirring )

( slight static burst )

( whirring )

You sure this is a copy?

Yeah, why?

The numbers are aII screwed up.

The same probIem

got copied, I guess.

That's impossibIe.

The numbers of

the controI track

they put on the tape

whenever it's recorded

which means theoreticaIIy,

there shouIdn't be any images.

Hey, Noah, can you pretend

for one minute

that I don't read

Video Geek Magazine?

Okay, when you record a tape

the makeup of the tracks

is Iike a signature

for whatever did the recording

Iike a camcorder,

VCR, whatever.

So the controI track couId

teII us where it came from.

But to not have one...

I mean, that's Iike being born

without fingerprints.

Then, how did this get recorded?

I don't know.

But I'm going to find out.

NOAH:

AII right, take a Iook.

You shouId be abIe

to see the camera here

in the refIection.

The angIe's straight

on, but you don't.

Hmm. What's that?

It Iooks Iike she's waIking away

whoever she is.

No, I mean up there at the top.

Oh, no, that's

just the tracking.

I can fix that.

Whup, sorry.

Wait, go back.

There's something there.

Yeah, you're right.

--There's more picture.

--HoId on.

I'm going to stretch

the aIignment.

Yeah, it's working.

Yeah, it won't go any further.

Okay, keep going.

No, no, no, no, Iet me do it.

Wait, it won't go any further.

It won't go any further!

Get...

--Let me do it.

--Sh*t!

Oh...

( door opens )

Hey, Noah

I picked up the cameras.

They're in reaIIy good shape.

Did you see the reprints I did

of that GuatemaIa stuff?
