things aren't always what they seem to
00:00:22
be
00:00:23
some things
00:00:25
are beyond belief

beyond belief fact or fiction

hosted by jonathan frakes
00:00:38
we live in a world where the real and
00:00:40
the unreal live side by side where
00:00:43
substance is disguised as illusion and
00:00:45
the only explanations are unexplainable
00:00:48
can you separate truth from fantasy to
00:00:51
do so you must break through the web of
00:00:53
your experience and open your mind to
00:00:55
things beyond belief
00:01:07
this drawing has been baffling people
00:01:09
for nearly a century
00:01:10
some of us see it as a fashionable young
00:01:12
lady
00:01:14
and some of us see it
00:01:16
as the portrait of an old woman
00:01:18
so which is it
00:01:19
young or old or is it both
00:01:22
tonight we will be entertained by
00:01:23
stories that will be based on reality
00:01:25
others will be totally fabricated by a
00:01:27
writer
00:01:28
at the end of the show we'll tell you
00:01:30
which is which but
00:01:31
before warned the difference between
00:01:33
fact and fiction
00:01:35
may be as invisible as the difference
00:01:38
between young and old
00:01:40
[Music]
00:01:42
the airplane pilot has been a fixture in
00:01:43
the panorama of american heroes
00:01:46
ever since the wright brothers
00:01:48
and no matter how sophisticated the
00:01:49
latest computer flight technology
00:01:51
becomes
00:01:52
it's the image of one individual using
00:01:54
brains skills and guts to conquer the
00:01:56
skies that appeals to the adventurer in
00:01:59
all of us
00:02:00
michael rader's father was such a man
00:02:06
he was once his son's hero his mentor
00:02:08
his protector
00:02:10
and his son grew up to share his
00:02:11
father's passion for adventure
00:02:14
but nothing he ever did
00:02:16
would prepare michael for the strangest
00:02:18
adventure of all
00:02:20

00:02:54
i hadn't landed at this little airport
00:02:56
in a long time
00:02:57
it was a regular destination for my dad
00:03:00
in the old days
00:03:01
all i planned was a quick stop this was
00:03:03
one trip that wasn't destined to go as
00:03:05
planned
00:03:12
as i walked up to rogers coffee shop a
00:03:14
lot of memories came rushing by
00:03:16
i've known roger since i was a little
00:03:17
boy so when he asked me if i would
00:03:19
deliver a package for him of course i
00:03:20
said i would
00:03:25
hey
00:03:26
michael good to see you pal
00:03:29
how about some coffee sounds great good
00:03:32
there you go
00:03:34
hey listen
00:03:35
i really appreciate you doing me this
00:03:37
favor
00:03:38
a lifesaver hey anytime roger you know i
00:03:40
think of you as family
00:03:42
you know watching you run up like that
00:03:44
it sure reminded me a lot of your father
00:03:47
yeah i think about him all the time
00:03:50
yeah
00:03:51
my dad was a great guy
00:03:54
one of the best pilots i ever saw
00:03:58
yeah i still miss him me too
00:04:01
let me get the package
00:04:13
i'd almost forgotten about that photo of
00:04:15
dad and me
00:04:16
it was a few minutes after it was taken
00:04:18
that he gave me his wings
00:04:20
it really upset me when i lost him a few
00:04:22
years ago
00:04:24
[Music]
00:04:26
[Applause]
00:04:28
[Music]
00:04:38
ah
00:04:40
[Music]
00:04:48
my god
00:05:10
hey uh michael what's wrong
00:05:13
somebody taking your playing
00:05:18
the hell
00:05:20
[Music]
00:05:30
[Music]
00:05:40
a7 bravo come here
00:05:44
a7 royal do you read me

00:06:08
[Music]
00:06:09
[Applause]
00:06:15
what don't you play
00:06:17
where it is control he's leaking oil
00:06:29
ain't gonna pull out of that
00:06:36
oh
00:06:40
no
00:06:45
oh my god
00:07:03
it's empty
00:07:13
[Music]
00:07:20
there's no one in there
00:07:23
[Music]
00:07:24
yes it was
00:07:28
all right come on get away from there
00:07:45
how could a plane fly itself
00:07:48
that michael leave his engine running
00:07:49
with controls on automatic pilot
00:07:52
if so
00:07:53
how do those pilot wings suddenly appear
00:07:55
in the cockpit wings that michael had
00:07:57
misplaced years ago
00:07:59
were they suddenly jarred loose from
00:08:01
some crevice of the plane by the crash
00:08:04
or is the explanation more mystical
00:08:06
maybe michael's father's spirit
00:08:08
did take the controls to save his son
00:08:10
from harm
00:08:11
your challenge is to decide
00:08:14
did this story really happen
00:08:16
or is it just a flight of fancy
00:08:19
coming up
00:08:20
a woman home alone fears for her life
00:08:24
on beyond belief fact or fiction
00:08:27
[Music]
00:08:29
a lock box
00:08:31
a good idea if you're one of the 70
00:08:33
million people in the united states who
00:08:34
keeps a gun in your home
00:08:36
whichever side of the gun issue you
00:08:38
happen to fall on nobody wants to see
00:08:40
innocent people harmed
00:08:42
tom north kept his gun in a box like
00:08:45
this for years
00:08:46
along with bullets
00:08:48
registration papers
00:08:49
and a manual
00:08:52
he raised two children through college
00:08:54
without incident box was locked tight
00:08:56
and stored out of harm's way
00:08:58
but the time had come now to bring out
00:08:59
the weapon again
00:09:00
to help guard his house
00:09:02
from unseen enemies
00:09:04
this then is a story of a gun
00:09:07
a premonition of terrifying proportions
00:09:10
and the deadliest enemy of all
00:09:12
fear
00:09:13
[Music]
00:09:15
i knew that sooner or later tom would
00:09:17
want me to learn how to use his gun
00:09:19
especially with everything that was
00:09:20
going on in our neighborhood
00:09:23
it always felt so safe and secure inside
00:09:25
our house
00:09:26
but first the people down the block were
00:09:29
robbed then across the street
00:09:31
and then
00:09:32
our neighbors right next door
00:09:35
suddenly it didn't feel quite as secure
00:09:37
as it used to feel
00:09:40
tom had been planning to give me the gun
00:09:41
for weeks
00:09:43
he even took it out to a shooting range
00:09:45
so that he could make sure it was
00:09:46
working properly
00:09:49
but as for me
00:09:51
i wasn't as strong as tom
00:09:53
in fact i wasn't sure i'd ever be able
00:09:56
to pull the trigger
00:10:00
boy if that were me i mean if i'd seen
00:10:03
that guy in this house you know i am so
00:10:05
sorry i wasn't here
00:10:08
you know the drakes woke up and found
00:10:09
him there this guy in a ski mask just
00:10:12
rifling through their drawers inches
00:10:14
away from them i mean this guy has
00:10:16
really gotten brazen did the police
00:10:17
think it's just one guy that robbed all
00:10:19
three houses i hope so
00:10:21
i hate to think our neighborhood had
00:10:23
become a mecca for hordes of hoodlums
00:10:25
just what kind of warped mind thinks
00:10:27
that terrorizing a neighborhood is an
00:10:29
okay way of life look i just hope it
00:10:31
gets figured out soon i don't think this
00:10:33
is a good time for me to be traveling
00:10:36
maybe i should cancel oh honey
00:10:39
look you've worked for this you've
00:10:40
waited
00:10:42
we prayed for this promotion
00:10:44
and now with the kids grown and out of
00:10:46
the house
00:10:48
this is a perfect time for you to follow
00:10:49
your dream
00:10:52
still i'll be all right
00:10:54
yeah
00:10:55
well
00:10:57
i'll just make sure of that
00:11:00
oh tom no no i'll just end up shooting
00:11:03
myself i know it no this gun only shoots
00:11:05
bad people
00:11:07
is that what your father told you
00:11:09
and you bought it
00:11:11
well sure he was a cop he wore a uniform
00:11:14
he carried this piece i
00:11:16
i'd be nuts to challenge him
00:11:18
i don't know i i don't understand these
00:11:20
things i mean i don't even feel
00:11:21
comfortable being this close to a gun
00:11:23
well don't worry about it we're going to
00:11:24
go out to a shooting range
00:11:26
i promise you once you get used to using
00:11:28
this gun
00:11:29
you'll see there's nothing to be afraid
00:11:30
of
00:11:34
look let's just forget about this i'm
00:11:37
hopeless
00:11:38
hey you did fine oh yeah i hit the
00:11:40
target barely it was your first time
00:11:42
look and you will get better sure when i
00:11:46
hope to god you never have to use this
00:11:47
gun but if you do you'll know how to
00:11:49
handle it
00:11:51
yes yes
00:11:54
[Music]
00:11:57
that night my anxiety and fear about the
00:12:00
gun was very heavy on my mind

00:12:22
[Music]
00:12:27

00:13:35

00:13:36

00:13:40
wouldn't fire well this gun is in
00:13:42
perfect working order well it's old tom
00:13:44
i can't count on it
00:13:46
no no my father always maintained this
00:13:49
gun he got very little use he always
00:13:51
kept it perfectly clean and greased
00:13:53
he did did he
00:13:58
ah this gun won't let you down
00:14:04
it was just a bad dream i know
00:14:07

00:14:09
no promises
00:14:12
maybe i should cancel my trip no no no
00:14:15

00:14:17
you definitely have to work so
00:14:20
don't be all right
00:14:27
[Music]
00:14:31
a few days later tom had to leave town
00:14:35
and i was destined to relive my
00:14:36
premonitions of terror
00:14:38
all over again
00:14:40
but this time it wasn't a dream
00:14:57
[Music]
00:15:07
[Applause]
00:15:09
oh
00:15:20
[Applause]
00:15:51
it's me
00:15:58
oh god i almost killed you
00:16:11
[Applause]
00:16:19
[Music]
00:16:20
i couldn't believe it the gun was going
00:16:23
off by itself
00:16:24
finding its own target
00:16:26
in a stunning turn of events it had shot
00:16:28
and killed the intruder who had been
00:16:30
hiding in our house all along
00:16:33
[Music]
00:16:36
the son who comes home from college in
00:16:38
the middle of the night
00:16:39
finds he's forgotten his key and decides
00:16:41
to let himself in through a patio door
00:16:44
ironically
00:16:45
a genuine intruder had already broken
00:16:46
into the house too
00:16:48
how do you explain the fact that this
00:16:50
gun would not shoot the sun yet moments
00:16:52
later
00:16:53
it fires and hits the intruder
00:16:56
could it be that this gun had a special
00:16:59
safety feature
00:17:00
one that only permitted it to fire at a
00:17:02
true enemy
00:17:03
or is this a gun that has only been
00:17:04
fired by a writer's imagination
00:17:08
next
00:17:09
a painter possesses a mysterious secret
00:17:11
power
00:17:13
on beyond belief
00:17:14
fact or fiction
00:17:18
[Music]
00:17:21
what mysteries lie within the frame of a
00:17:23
portrait why do the eyes of a painting
00:17:25
often seem to follow us as we walk
00:17:27
across a room the fact is once someone
00:17:30
paints our portrait a curious phenomenon
00:17:32
takes place there's a silent
00:17:34
understanding that the painting itself
00:17:36
will outlive both its subject
00:17:38
and its artist
00:17:40
painter william corzine understood the
00:17:42
power of the portrait far more than most
00:17:44
men
00:17:45
for him it was a power
00:17:47
that would eventually pose the question
00:17:50
does art imitate life
00:17:52
or death
00:17:54
art is an elusive and complex subject
00:17:57
for centuries
00:17:58
people have argued over it attempted to
00:18:00
define it redefine it
00:18:03
all in an effort to describe it
00:18:05
for renowned landscape artist william
00:18:07
corzine his foray into portrait painting
00:18:10
produced a strange power he never knew
00:18:12
he had
00:18:14
[Music]
00:18:19
this is the story of an artist that by
00:18:21
all awkward appearances
00:18:23
seems to be blessed or cursed with a
00:18:25
very unique power one that would change
00:18:28
his life
00:18:29
and the life of his subjects forever
00:18:32
[Music]
00:18:35
all finished
00:18:44
[Music]
00:18:54

would you like me to post a bonus
00:19:14
no
00:19:18
i just didn't think it would be so soon
00:19:23
what was this strange power william
00:19:25
corzine held in his hands what made his
00:19:27
clientele so unique
00:19:29
and why is it that edith waterson just
00:19:31
like all the others never picked up her
00:19:34
finished portrait
00:19:35
maybe what if it's wrong
00:19:41
it's not wrong
00:19:43
you've been chosen
00:19:46
you have a special gift
00:19:49
and as william's doubt grew so did his
00:19:52
reputation
00:19:53
his special gift passed secretly by word
00:19:55
of mouth to a very select group of
00:19:57
people who all had one thing in common
00:20:04
please
00:20:06
don't stop
00:20:09
keep painting

00:21:27
as he could
00:21:28
doing his best to capture her spirit on
00:21:30
the canvas
00:21:32
william was determined to end the
00:21:34
painful torment of this afflicted young
00:21:36
lady who had come to him in her moment

of need

michelle's portrait would be one of his
00:22:38

00:23:07
conditions
00:23:09
they told him all about her and the
00:23:10
circumstances surrounding her death
00:23:14
his mind raced with a thousand thoughts
00:23:17
how could he have trusted her so
00:23:20
completely what's wrong
00:23:25
amy i made a terrible mistake
00:23:27
what are you talking about
00:23:29
the police were just here
00:23:32
michelle taylor is dead but isn't that
00:23:34
why you drew her portrait amy she wasn't
00:23:37
sick
00:23:40
she was depressed because her boyfriend
00:23:41
left her
00:23:43
oh my god she was 23.
00:23:47
she had her whole life ahead of her
00:23:53
but i painted a portrait
00:23:58
and killed her
00:24:07
[Music]
00:24:08
william had one last portrait to paint
00:24:10
he worked endlessly painting day and
00:24:12
night until it was finally done
00:24:15
the portrait was without doubt william's
00:24:18
finest effort to date
00:24:24
[Music]
00:24:30
his body was discovered by his assistant
00:24:32
the following morning an autopsy
00:24:34
revealed that he died of a heart attack
00:24:36
was this a desperate attempt to escape
00:24:38
justice or a final test for william
00:24:40
corzine an experiment to resolve his own
00:24:43
uncertainty his own disbelief that a
00:24:46
mortal man could possess a power over
00:24:48
life itself
00:24:51
did william corzine really have the
00:24:53
power to end the lives of his subjects
00:24:55
or were their deaths a logical extension
00:24:57
of their extremely fragile states of
00:24:59
health
00:25:00
if so then how do you explain the death
00:25:02
of michelle taylor
00:25:03
a young woman in the prime of her life
00:25:05
of course she was despondent over a lost
00:25:08
love
00:25:09
and deep depression has been known to
00:25:10
contribute to the demise of an otherwise
00:25:12
healthy individually
00:25:14
and what if william's final gesture
00:25:17
did he really take his own life by
00:25:19
painting his self-portrait
00:25:21
or had the gruesome circumstances of his
00:25:22
life become too much for his heart to
00:25:24
bear
00:25:26
could this story of an artist be
00:25:27
inspired by actual events
00:25:29
or is this a tale of artful deception
00:25:32
next two boys explore the life and death
00:25:36
corridors of a hospital on beyond belief
00:25:39
fact or fiction
00:25:44
an all-access pass is a precious
00:25:45
commodity
00:25:46
because it takes you wherever you want
00:25:48
to go everybody wants one
00:25:50
yet they're only issued to a precious
00:25:51
few
00:25:52
people will pay thousands of dollars for
00:25:54
such passes at sports events rock
00:25:56
concerts press conferences
00:25:59
at a hospital
00:26:00
it takes on a different meaning
00:26:03
only the most qualified professional
00:26:04
personnel can be allowed to have one the
00:26:06
rest of us can only guess what life and
00:26:08
death mysteries are hidden within the
00:26:09
corridors of a medical center
00:26:11
but with the help of this pass
00:26:13
two young men are about to find out
00:26:17
the first time i met eddie was when we
00:26:18
shared a room together at the county
00:26:20
hospital i didn't know too much about
00:26:22
him only that his father was a doctor at
00:26:24
the hospital and he was afraid of dying
00:26:27
they had him taking test after test but
00:26:29
nobody would tell him what was wrong
00:26:31
i found out later he had a heart murmur
00:26:33
but when this story happened all i knew
00:26:36
about eddie's condition was that he was
00:26:37
just like me
00:26:39
very
00:26:40
very bored

00:30:45
eddie
00:30:46
it's you
00:30:56
when i came to i didn't see eddie but i
00:30:59
could hear the nurses imagine dr
00:31:01
anderson losing two sons both eddie and
00:31:03
chad in one night what happened
00:31:06
oh a real tragedy dr anderson and his
00:31:08
family were in a car accident last night
00:31:11
he's fine and so is his wife the other
00:31:13
son chad died instantly
00:31:15
so what happened to eddie well after the
00:31:17
accident they brought chad's body to the
00:31:19
morgue eddie saw it last night and his
00:31:21
heart gave out well who can blame him
00:31:24
they were identical twins you know
00:31:30
[Music]
00:31:33
i'll never forget eddie
00:31:35
or that terrible night
00:31:38
[Music]
00:31:41
had eddie remained in his hospital room
00:31:43
instead of snooping around the morgue
00:31:45
he might still be alive today his father
00:31:47
would have had a chance to gently and
00:31:50
lovingly tell him of his brother's death
00:31:52
instead
00:31:53
the way he came upon his twin brother's
00:31:55
body so unexpectedly proved to be too
00:31:57
much for his fragile heart to handle and
00:32:00
all because
00:32:01
he went to the morgue
00:32:03
a place he didn't belong
00:32:04
[Music]
00:32:06
did the fates conspire to bring a
00:32:08
curious boy
00:32:09
and the body of his identical twin
00:32:10
together at the same time
00:32:12
or are we conspiring to mislead you
00:32:17
next a radio talk show host encounters a
00:32:20
mysterious caller
00:32:22
on beyond belief
00:32:24
fact or fiction
00:32:25
[Music]
00:32:27
this is jonathan frakes and you're the
00:32:29
next caller
00:32:32
if it's true that the pen is mightier
00:32:34
than the sword
00:32:35
what then do we say about the microphone
00:32:39
talk show radio hosts use this
00:32:41
instrument to reach millions with
00:32:43
thoughts and opinions designed to
00:32:45
provoke amuse influence
00:32:47
and shock all in the name of what they
00:32:49
call
00:32:50
good radio
00:32:51
and despite the appearance of a
00:32:52
democratic exchange between a talk show
00:32:54
host and his listeners
00:32:56
it is the host who holds the balance of
00:32:58
power
00:32:59
with the flip of a switch he can cut off
00:33:01
any annoyance
00:33:03
but what happens when that balance of
00:33:04
power becomes unbalanced when the
00:33:06
microphone becomes the instrument of a
00:33:08
living nightmare
00:33:09
is it still good radio
00:33:11
okay line one you're on with kincaid all

hottest thing in talk radio
00:33:20
his late night show was so popular there
00:33:21
were plans of syndicating it across the
00:33:23
country
00:33:24
of course clive made his living at the
00:33:26
expense of others
00:33:27
clive had no use for the people in his
00:33:29
life
00:33:30
especially his listeners
00:33:32
he thought of them only as numbers and
00:33:34
with enough numbers his ratings would
00:33:36
rise and he would get more famous
00:33:39
more wealthy
00:33:40
and more powerful something like a

get out of my life
00:39:09
[Music]
00:39:18
who was the voice on the phone
00:39:20
was it really the spirit of the dead son
00:39:22
that kincaid had abandoned years before
00:39:25
something unusual was going on because
00:39:26
at exactly 10 25
00:39:28
lightning knocked out the utility lines
00:39:30
outside the studio
00:39:32
phone company records show that no calls
00:39:33
at all were made from that point on
00:39:36
yet that was the exact moment that the
00:39:38
mysterious calls from robbie griffin
00:39:40
started to come in
00:39:42
by the way that was the last time that
00:39:44
kincaid ever appeared on the radio a
00:39:47
curious twist
00:39:48
because his show that night achieved its
00:39:50
highest ratings of all time
00:39:52
is this story of a radio talk show host
00:39:54
haunted by his past based upon fact
00:39:57
it's your call
00:40:00
coming up we'll find out which of our
00:40:02
stories tonight were fact and which were
00:40:05
fiction
00:40:07
when beyond belief returns
00:40:12
now let's find out which of our stories
00:40:14
tonight have been inspired by actual
00:40:16
events
00:40:16
and which ones are totally false
00:40:19
our story of the pilot whose plane took
00:40:21
off by itself and then crashed to the
00:40:22
ground ultimately saving his life
00:40:25
was that a work of fiction
00:40:32
[Music]
00:40:39
you ain't gonna pull out of that
00:40:41
[Music]
00:40:49
oh no
00:41:01
was this story inspired by an actual
00:41:03
event
00:41:04
yes a similar event did take place
00:41:07
[Music]
00:41:12
our tale of the gun that refused to fire
00:41:14
at the sun returning from college
00:41:17
how did you judge this one
00:41:32
[Music]
00:41:46
stop well this story of a gun that
00:41:49
wouldn't fire at innocent people
00:41:51
was actually based on an incident
00:41:53
similar to this one
00:41:59
and now the artist who seemed to hold
00:42:00
the power of life and death in his hands
00:42:03
was it reality based or false
00:42:10
[Music]
00:42:13
i would like you to paint my portrait no
00:42:15
i'm sorry this is a private studio
00:42:17

00:42:26
selective about who i paid

[Music]
00:42:38
if you guessed that there was an actual
00:42:39
recorded happening of an artist that
00:42:41
seemed to have this power
00:42:43
you were right
00:42:44
there was
00:42:50
and what about the tale of the boys who
00:42:52
lifted the hospital pass and used it to
00:42:54
explore the morgue
00:42:55

00:42:56
false hello

this tale of a young man who confronted
00:43:30
the dead corpse of his identical twin
00:43:32
and then died himself
00:43:35
pure fiction
00:43:41

00:43:43

00:44:21
this otherworldly confrontation on
00:44:24
not this time it never happened
00:44:28
[Music]
00:44:31
once again we've tried to demonstrate
00:44:33
the blurry line between fact and fiction
00:44:36
were you able to separate the two
00:44:38
and can you accept the fact that certain
00:44:39
truths defy logic and fall into the
00:44:42
category of being simply
00:44:44
beyond belief
00:44:46
