<i>of urban legends,</i>

2
00:00:03,754 --> 00:00:07,156
<i>remarkable stories that spread</i>
<i>like viruses around the planet,</i>

8

<i>First up, a family man has a</i>

10

<i>everything he holds dear.</i>

<i>First, it's a story we like</i>
<i>to call A Shadow of Himself.</i>

21
00:01:15,659 --> 00:01:17,593
<i>Professor Gary Schwartz</i>
<i>studies topics</i>

22
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:21,430
<i>that scare off</i>
<i>other scientists.</i>

23
00:01:21,498 --> 00:01:24,867
Gary Schwartz: Issues of
spirituality, issues of energy,

24
00:01:24,935 --> 00:01:27,970
even life after death.

25
00:01:28,038 --> 00:01:31,240
<i>Narrator: But for Gary, one</i>
<i>story stands out:</i>

26
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:33,275
<i>the tale</i>
<i>of Sonny Graham,</i>

27
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:37,580
<i>an ordinary</i>
<i>man who became possessed.</i>

28
00:01:40,851 --> 00:01:43,085
Gary Schwartz: It's a scary
kind of thing to have a change

29
00:01:43,153 --> 00:01:44,687
of personality.

30
00:01:44,754 --> 00:01:47,289
It's typically
not talked about.

31
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:50,359
<i>Narrator: It would terrify</i>
<i>family and friends and by the</i>

32
00:01:50,427 --> 00:01:52,728
<i>time the ghost</i>
<i>in Sonny's body was done,</i>

33
00:01:52,796 --> 00:01:56,232
<i>no one would ever be the same.</i>

34
00:01:59,569 --> 00:02:03,439
<i>It all began in 1995 in a</i>
<i>South Carolina town where</i>

35
00:02:03,506 --> 00:02:06,942
<i>everyone knows the</i>
<i>name Sonny Graham.</i>

36
00:02:07,010 --> 00:02:09,645
Renee Dudley: Sonny Graham
was a real man about town.

37
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:12,248
<i>Narrator: His life</i>
<i>seems perfect.</i>

38
00:02:12,315 --> 00:02:14,250
Gary Schwartz: He really loved
his wife and his family.

39
00:02:14,317 --> 00:02:17,353
<i>Narrator: But it's about</i>
<i>to take a terrible turn.</i>

40
00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:20,723
<i>Sonny is diagnosed with a</i>
<i>serious heart condition.</i>

41
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:23,592
Renee Dudley: His doctors told
him that he would die

42
00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:26,629
if he didn't receive a
heart transplant.

43
00:02:26,696 --> 00:02:28,430
<i>Narrator: Miraculously,</i>
<i>a matching heart</i>

44
00:02:28,498 --> 00:02:31,567
<i>is found almost immediately.</i>

45
00:02:31,635 --> 00:02:33,269
<i>Even his wife can't</i>
<i>believe how fast he</i>

46
00:02:33,336 --> 00:02:35,971
<i>gets back on his feet.</i>

47
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,607
<i>Little do they know, this</i>
<i>miracle will soon take</i>

48
00:02:38,675 --> 00:02:42,244
<i>a terrifying turn.</i>

49
00:02:42,312 --> 00:02:43,812
Renee Dudley: Friends did
notice changes after he came

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,316
back from the surgery.

51
00:02:47,384 --> 00:02:48,784
Gary Schwartz: He then
experienced some changes

52
00:02:48,852 --> 00:02:52,855
in food preferences.

53
00:02:52,923 --> 00:02:57,459
<i>Narrator: Sonny wonders if</i>
<i>it's because of his new heart.</i>

54
00:02:57,527 --> 00:02:59,628
<i>He discovers his heart was</i>
<i>donated</i>

55
00:02:59,696 --> 00:03:02,865
<i>by a man named Terry Cottle.</i>

56
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:05,834
<i>Terry's widow Cheryl</i>
<i>gets Sonny's letter.</i>

57
00:03:05,902 --> 00:03:07,870
<i>She writes back with</i>
<i>information about</i>

58
00:03:07,938 --> 00:03:09,805
<i>her dead husband.</i>

59
00:03:09,873 --> 00:03:11,840
Renee Dudley: Terry
liked fast food.

60
00:03:11,908 --> 00:03:15,144
He liked beer and after the
transplant Sonny acquired some

61
00:03:15,211 --> 00:03:19,048
of those tastes also.

62
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:21,650
<i>Narrator: But that's not</i>
<i>all the letter tells him.</i>

63
00:03:21,718 --> 00:03:24,586
Gary Schwartz: Then the
story becomes tragic.

64
00:03:24,654 --> 00:03:28,090
<i>Narrator: Sonny learns how</i>
<i>Terry's heart became his.</i>

65
00:03:28,158 --> 00:03:31,160
Renee Dudley: Cheryl was
eating oatmeal and they heard

66
00:03:31,227 --> 00:03:36,398
a gunshot and the next thing
they knew Terry was on the

67
00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:41,870
bathroom floor with a
gunshot wound to the head.

68
00:03:41,938 --> 00:03:45,708
<i>Narrator: Deeply depressed,</i>
<i>Terry had taken his own life.</i>

69
00:03:45,775 --> 00:03:48,577
<i>His heart was put up for</i>
<i>donation just in time</i>

70
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:51,347
<i>to save Sonny's life.</i>

71
00:03:51,414 --> 00:03:55,517
<i>But Terry isn't as</i>
<i>dead as he seems.</i>

72
00:03:55,585 --> 00:03:57,252
Gary Schwartz: The heart has,
so to speak,

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,822
a mind of its own.

74
00:03:59,889 --> 00:04:02,558
Renee Dudley: About two months
after Sonny and Cheryl first

75
00:04:02,625 --> 00:04:06,428
started exchanging letters
they decided to meet.

76
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:10,699
Sonny said that he instantly
felt a connection.

77
00:04:10,767 --> 00:04:13,602
Gary Schwartz: Inside him is
this very loving heart that

78
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:16,405
may have really
cared for this woman.

79
00:04:16,473 --> 00:04:19,208
He was smitten with her.

80
00:04:19,275 --> 00:04:21,243
<i>Narrator: As Sonny and Cheryl</i>
<i>spend more time together,</i>

81
00:04:21,311 --> 00:04:26,115
<i>friends and family start to</i>
<i>wonder who's really in charge:</i>

82
00:04:26,182 --> 00:04:29,118
<i>Sonny or Terry's heart.</i>

83
00:04:29,185 --> 00:04:31,787
<i>Before long, the</i>
<i>answer is obvious.</i>

84
00:04:31,855 --> 00:04:33,622
Renee Dudley: It became pretty
clear that Sonny was running

85
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:36,592
around with Cheryl.

86
00:04:36,659 --> 00:04:38,394
Mrs. Graham:
I have had enough!

87
00:04:38,461 --> 00:04:40,162
<i>Sonny's wife can</i>
<i>no longer ignore</i>

88
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:41,864
<i>the heartbreaking truth.</i>

89
00:04:41,931 --> 00:04:43,232
Mrs. Graham:
I want a divorce!

90
00:04:46,036 --> 00:04:47,903
<i>Narrator: Sonny's</i>
<i>wife leaves him.</i>

91
00:04:47,971 --> 00:04:51,340
<i>A short while later, Sonny</i>
<i>shacks up with Cheryl.</i>

92
00:04:51,408 --> 00:04:52,508
Gary Schwartz: He
fell in love with her.

93
00:04:52,575 --> 00:04:55,477
You know, follow your heart.

94
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:57,479
Renee Dudley: He was happy
as could be at first.

95
00:05:00,683 --> 00:05:02,851
<i>Narrator: But the</i>
<i>happiness doesn't last.</i>

96
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:06,488
Renee Dudley: He started
to complain to his family.

97
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:09,391
<i>Narrator: In a few short</i>
<i>years, it becomes clear</i>

98
00:05:09,459 --> 00:05:13,495
<i>Terry's heart has led</i>
<i>Sonny terribly astray.</i>

99
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:14,930
Renee Dudley: He didn't want
to have to pay to support

100
00:05:14,998 --> 00:05:16,832
Cheryl's lifestyle.

101
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,134
She was going through all of
his money and he was tired of

102
00:05:19,202 --> 00:05:25,040
being the babysitter
for Cheryl's son.

103
00:05:25,108 --> 00:05:29,978
<i>Narrator: It's been a</i>
<i>bizarre journey for Sonny,</i>

104
00:05:30,046 --> 00:05:34,583
<i>but incredibly</i>
<i>it's far from over.</i>

105
00:05:34,651 --> 00:05:37,553
Renee Dudley: April Fool
Day 2008 started like

106
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:39,421
any other day.

107
00:05:39,489 --> 00:05:42,357
Sonny is taking care of
some chores in his shed.

108
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:43,992
Renee Dudley: So the
phone rang and

109
00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:46,361
the stepson takes the call.

110
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:48,097
It's for Sonny.

111
00:05:48,164 --> 00:05:51,366
He goes out to
the utility shed.

112
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:54,069
<i>Narrator: What he</i>
<i>sees is horrific.</i>

113
00:05:54,137 --> 00:05:58,841
<i>Sonny is dead.</i>

114
00:05:58,908 --> 00:06:02,811
<i>Weird as it seems, it appears</i>
<i>Terry's heart wanted Sonny to</i>

115
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:07,583
<i>relive every</i>
<i>aspect of his life,</i>

116
00:06:07,650 --> 00:06:10,352
<i>including his horrible end.</i>

117
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:12,821
Renee Dudley: According to the
coroner's reports, Sonny died

118
00:06:12,889 --> 00:06:19,661
the same way that Terry did, a
self-inflicted gunshot wound.

119
00:06:19,729 --> 00:06:21,797
<i>Narrator: A family man gets a</i>
<i>heart transplant that should</i>

120
00:06:21,865 --> 00:06:24,900
<i>have saved his life</i>
<i>but instead ends</i>

121
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:28,637
<i>it in the most horrific way.</i>

122
00:06:28,705 --> 00:06:30,806
<i>But did it really happen?</i>

123
00:06:30,874 --> 00:06:35,878
<i>You'll have to wait to the</i>
<i>end of the show to find out.</i>

124
00:06:35,945 --> 00:06:38,447
<i>But before then, take a</i>
<i>look at this mini myth.</i>

125
00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:46,555
<i>Narrator: Mini myth</i>
<i>number 98: To The Rescue.</i>

126
00:06:46,623 --> 00:06:48,824
<i>In Sydney, Australia, a</i>
<i>gang of thugs attacked</i>

127
00:06:48,892 --> 00:06:51,026
<i>a medical student.</i>

128
00:06:51,094 --> 00:06:52,761
<i>Just when it looks like</i>
<i>they'll get away with the</i>

129
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:55,797
<i>crime, fully armed ninjas</i>
<i>appeared out of nowhere,</i>

130
00:06:55,865 --> 00:06:59,468
<i>terrifying the attackers</i>
<i>and saving the student.</i>

131
00:06:59,536 --> 00:07:02,738
<i>But did nunchucks really scare</i>
<i>off these numskulls,</i>

132
00:07:02,805 --> 00:07:04,706
<i>or is it a well-timed lie?</i>

133
00:07:04,774 --> 00:07:05,974
<i>Find out after the break.</i>

134
00:07:11,459 --> 00:07:13,393
<i>Narrator: Welcome</i>
<i>back to Urban Legends.</i>

135
00:07:13,461 --> 00:07:15,829
<i>Before the break, you saw the</i>
<i>mini myth of the ninjas who</i>

136
00:07:15,897 --> 00:07:19,500
<i>foiled a mugging in Australia.</i>

137
00:07:19,567 --> 00:07:23,670
<i>Was it true or false?</i>

138
00:07:23,738 --> 00:07:25,873
<i>It was ... true.</i>

139
00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:28,342
<i>A martial arts school had its</i>
<i>entrance in an alley and the</i>

140
00:07:28,409 --> 00:07:30,043
<i>ninja class was just</i>
<i>getting out when</i>

141
00:07:30,111 --> 00:07:31,845
<i>the muggers committed</i>
<i>their crime.</i>

142
00:07:35,784 --> 00:07:39,553
<i>On Urban Legends, we show you</i>
<i>three incredible stories.</i>

143
00:07:39,621 --> 00:07:42,689
<i>You must decide which ones are</i>
<i>god's honest truth</i>

144
00:07:42,757 --> 00:07:45,759
<i>and which are devilish lies.</i>

145
00:07:45,827 --> 00:07:48,529
<i>So far, you've seen the story</i>
<i>of the tainted heart that</i>

146
00:07:48,596 --> 00:07:51,632
<i>takes over and leads</i>
<i>a man to his death.</i>

147
00:07:51,699 --> 00:07:54,201
<i>But is it real or fake?</i>

148
00:07:54,269 --> 00:07:57,271
<i>We'll let you know at</i>
<i>the end of the show.</i>

149
00:07:57,338 --> 00:07:59,773
<i>Now it's time for</i>
<i>our next story.</i>

150
00:07:59,841 --> 00:08:02,776
<i>It's called Hippo Slippo.</i>

151
00:08:04,813 --> 00:08:08,949
<i>Rene Markovy looks relaxed but</i>
<i>he's had some tense moments</i>

152
00:08:09,017 --> 00:08:12,319
<i>working as a trapeze artist.</i>

153
00:08:12,387 --> 00:08:15,088
<i>But nothing as intense as the</i>
<i>night a clown named</i>

154
00:08:15,156 --> 00:08:18,859
<i>Christo bit off more than</i>
<i>he could chew.</i>

155
00:08:31,606 --> 00:08:35,075
<i>Narrator: Back in 2005, the</i>
<i>Stromboli circus is a local</i>

156
00:08:35,143 --> 00:08:37,911
<i>family favourite, but the</i>
<i>biggest crowd pleaser</i>

157
00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:43,350
<i>of all are the clowns.</i>

158
00:08:43,418 --> 00:08:46,453
<i>Christo Martinov is the</i>
<i>wildest of the clowns</i>

159
00:08:46,521 --> 00:08:48,789
<i>and a hit with the fans.</i>

160
00:09:04,372 --> 00:09:06,707
<i>Narrator: Convinced that it</i>
<i>makes for a better show,</i>

161
00:09:06,774 --> 00:09:10,677
<i>Christo likes to drink vodka</i>
<i>before each performance,</i>

162
00:09:10,745 --> 00:09:13,046
<i>and the crowd loves it.</i>

163
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:26,126
<i>As Christo's drinking becomes</i>
<i>more extreme,</i>

164
00:09:26,194 --> 00:09:30,230
<i>so do his practical jokes.</i>

165
00:09:30,298 --> 00:09:35,836
<i>One afternoon he lets a tiger</i>
<i>loose in the cafeteria.</i>

166
00:09:47,982 --> 00:09:50,250
<i>Narrator: It's inevitable that</i>
<i>Christo's dangerous behaviour</i>

167
00:09:50,318 --> 00:09:51,952
<i>would lose him friends.</i>

168
00:09:57,926 --> 00:10:00,260
<i>Narrator: But one night,</i>
<i>things reach a boiling point.</i>

169
00:10:04,666 --> 00:10:06,767
<i>At a critical moment,</i>
<i>Christo fires blanks</i>

170
00:10:06,834 --> 00:10:12,205
<i>from a starter's pistol.</i>

171
00:10:12,273 --> 00:10:15,375
<i>The crowd thinks it's</i>
<i>hilarious but not Rene.</i>

172
00:10:22,016 --> 00:10:23,917
<i>Narrator: Christo is setting</i>
<i>himself up for his own</i>

173
00:10:23,985 --> 00:10:26,753
<i>downfall but no one can</i>
<i>imagine just how</i>

174
00:10:26,821 --> 00:10:31,825
<i>tragic it will be.</i>

175
00:10:31,893 --> 00:10:35,362
<i>The twenty-eighth of July</i>
<i>is a night like any other.</i>

176
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:38,098
<i>The clowns are about to do</i>
<i>their big finale,</i>

177
00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:40,634
<i>where Christo takes a flying</i>
<i>leap right over</i>

178
00:10:40,702 --> 00:10:42,736
<i>a live hippopotamus.</i>

179
00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:49,509
Christo: Show time!

180
00:10:57,452 --> 00:10:59,686
<i>But Christo is confident.</i>

181
00:10:59,754 --> 00:11:02,589
<i>This act is second</i>
<i>nature to him.</i>

182
00:11:46,834 --> 00:11:51,071
<i>Narrator: But how</i>
<i>could this happen?</i>

183
00:11:51,139 --> 00:11:53,573
<i>Everyone suspects someone</i>
<i>tampered with Christo's</i>

184
00:11:53,641 --> 00:11:57,411
<i>trampoline, but police</i>
<i>find no evidence.</i>

185
00:12:16,464 --> 00:12:18,198
<i>Narrator: Did karma play</i>
<i>its fateful hand on this</i>

186
00:12:18,266 --> 00:12:24,671
<i>mischievous drunken clown,</i>
<i>or is it all an illusion?</i>

187
00:12:24,739 --> 00:12:29,009
<i>You'll have to wait to the</i>
<i>end of the show to find out.</i>

188
00:12:29,077 --> 00:12:31,845
<i>But before then, check</i>
<i>out this mini myth.</i>

189
00:12:33,981 --> 00:12:37,417
<i>Narrator: Mini myth</i>
<i>number 8,543:</i>

190
00:12:37,485 --> 00:12:40,821
<i>The Subway Stiff Mystery.</i>

191
00:12:40,888 --> 00:12:44,024
<i>In 2005, Berlin police were</i>
<i>called to investigate some</i>

192
00:12:44,092 --> 00:12:45,959
<i>trouble in the subway.</i>

193
00:12:46,027 --> 00:12:47,661
<i>The body baffled</i>
<i>everyone until one</i>

194
00:12:47,728 --> 00:12:49,629
<i>sleuth figured it out.</i>

195
00:12:49,697 --> 00:12:52,032
<i>A troublesome teen was trying</i>
<i>to vandalize the subway car</i>

196
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,367
<i>late one night.</i>

197
00:12:54,435 --> 00:12:57,137
<i>Little did he know, the fast</i>
<i>moving train generated more</i>

198
00:12:57,205 --> 00:13:00,140
<i>than enough suction to pull</i>
<i>him out of the broken window,</i>

199
00:13:00,208 --> 00:13:02,843
<i>flinging him to his death.</i>

200
00:13:02,910 --> 00:13:05,946
<i>Did it happen, or has the</i>
<i>truth gone off the rails?</i>

201
00:13:06,013 --> 00:13:07,347
<i>We'll let you know</i>
<i>after the break.</i>

202
00:13:13,267 --> 00:13:16,303
<i>Narrator: Welcome</i>
<i>back to Urban Legends.</i>

203
00:13:16,371 --> 00:13:18,138
<i>Before the break, we showed</i>
<i>you the mini myth about the</i>

204
00:13:18,206 --> 00:13:23,076
<i>unscheduled subway stop</i>
<i>that turned deadly.</i>

205
00:13:23,144 --> 00:13:27,147
<i>Was it true or false?</i>

206
00:13:27,215 --> 00:13:30,017
<i>It was ... false.</i>

207
00:13:30,084 --> 00:13:32,686
<i>Unlike high flying planes,</i>
<i>underground trains don't</i>

208
00:13:32,754 --> 00:13:36,857
<i>create suction that could</i>
<i>pull you out of a window.</i>

209
00:13:41,863 --> 00:13:45,465
<i>On Urban Legends, we show you</i>
<i>three incredible stories.</i>

210
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:47,434
<i>You must decide</i>
<i>which ones ring true</i>

211
00:13:47,502 --> 00:13:50,470
<i>and which sound false.</i>

212
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:53,407
<i>So far, you've seen the story</i>
<i>of the dead man's heart that</i>

213
00:13:53,474 --> 00:13:58,378
<i>takes control</i>
<i>after a transplant.</i>

214
00:13:58,446 --> 00:14:01,682
<i>And the story of the hippo</i>
<i>slippo that ended the life of</i>

215
00:14:01,749 --> 00:14:06,153
<i>a high-flying</i>
<i>circus performer.</i>

216
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:09,523
<i>But which of these stories</i>
<i>are the real thing?</i>

217
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:13,660
<i>All will be revealed</i>
<i>at the end of the show.</i>

218
00:14:16,030 --> 00:14:18,565
<i>Now it's time for</i>
<i>our final story.</i>

219
00:14:18,633 --> 00:14:24,271
<i>It's called Nothing Personal.</i>

220
00:14:24,338 --> 00:14:28,575
<i>Deborah Hunt loves to run, but</i>
<i>no matter how fast she goes</i>

221
00:14:28,643 --> 00:14:32,479
<i>she'll never escape</i>
<i>one specific memory.</i>

222
00:14:32,547 --> 00:14:35,916
Deborah Hunt: I
was beside myself.

223
00:14:35,983 --> 00:14:39,553
Theresa was one of
my best friends.

224
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:44,157
<i>Narrator: Deborah's best</i>
<i>friend Theresa was murdered,</i>

225
00:14:44,225 --> 00:14:49,362
<i>but it was no ordinary crime.</i>

226
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:51,832
Norman Caraway: This was a
unique case in my career.

227
00:14:51,899 --> 00:14:55,635
<i>Narrator: It's a tale of money</i>
<i>and betrayal with an end so</i>

228
00:14:55,703 --> 00:14:59,940
<i>horrific some still refuse</i>
<i>to believe it today.</i>

229
00:15:00,007 --> 00:15:01,942
Norman Caraway: It's a story
that I tell often

230
00:15:02,009 --> 00:15:05,112
and it usually blows
people away.

231
00:15:05,179 --> 00:15:08,715
<i>Narrator: It all began in 2002</i>
<i>in the wealthy Phoenix suburb</i>

232
00:15:08,783 --> 00:15:11,384
<i>of Fountain Hills.</i>

233
00:15:11,452 --> 00:15:16,556
<i>A 911 call leads police to</i>
<i>a baffling murder scene.</i>

234
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:21,495
<i>Theresa Cole and her</i>
<i>husband Clark are dead.</i>

235
00:15:21,562 --> 00:15:23,964
Norman Caraway: There was
no signs of forced entry.

236
00:15:24,031 --> 00:15:25,799
There was no
signs of struggle.

237
00:15:25,867 --> 00:15:31,138
There was no physical injuries
so it was all quite peculiar.

238
00:15:31,205 --> 00:15:35,041
<i>Narrator: Who did it, and how?</i>

239
00:15:35,109 --> 00:15:36,409
Norman Caraway: We weren't
able to determine

240
00:15:36,477 --> 00:15:37,978
a cause of death.

241
00:15:38,045 --> 00:15:40,480
We had the wait for the
results of an autopsy.

242
00:15:40,548 --> 00:15:43,283
<i>Narrator: While investigators</i>
<i>wait, Detective Caraway</i>

243
00:15:43,351 --> 00:15:46,286
<i>starts asking questions.</i>

244
00:15:46,354 --> 00:15:48,321
Norman Caraway: We had learned
that the Coles had been

245
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:50,223
married for seven
years and they had

246
00:15:50,291 --> 00:15:52,359
started off quite modestly.

247
00:15:52,426 --> 00:15:54,528
They managed to accumulate a
significant amount of wealth,

248
00:15:54,595 --> 00:15:59,933
largely based on investments
that Mrs. Cole had made.

249
00:16:00,001 --> 00:16:03,370
<i>Narrator: But the money</i>
<i>had a surprise effect.</i>

250
00:16:03,437 --> 00:16:04,771
Deborah Hunt: Well he
was a bit of a showoff.

251
00:16:04,839 --> 00:16:09,342
He did like to
flaunt it around.

252
00:16:09,410 --> 00:16:14,047
I think definitely he was
trying to be eccentric.

253
00:16:14,115 --> 00:16:19,753
He just got worse and worse
as the money was coming in.

254
00:16:19,821 --> 00:16:21,254
<i>Narrator: And Clark's</i>
<i>eccentricities are not</i>

255
00:16:21,322 --> 00:16:25,826
<i>the only thing Deborah reveals.</i>

256
00:16:25,893 --> 00:16:27,694
Deborah Hunt: Clark started
having affairs

257
00:16:27,762 --> 00:16:29,529
and they were not secretive.

258
00:16:29,597 --> 00:16:32,766
They were public.

259
00:16:32,834 --> 00:16:34,901
<i>Narrator: It's the</i>
<i>final straw for Theresa.</i>

260
00:16:34,969 --> 00:16:37,370
<i>She files for divorce.</i>

261
00:16:37,438 --> 00:16:41,441
<i>Clark stands to</i>
<i>lose everything.</i>

262
00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:43,243
Norman Caraway: He felt that
he was at particular risk in

263
00:16:43,311 --> 00:16:46,980
the divorce because he had
had these very public affairs

264
00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:50,283
which he felt could
be used against him.

265
00:16:50,351 --> 00:16:54,621
<i>Narrator: Clark hires the best</i>
<i>legal team money can buy.</i>

266
00:16:54,689 --> 00:16:58,425
<i>Before long, Theresa is</i>
<i>the one who's afraid.</i>

267
00:16:58,492 --> 00:17:00,527
Norman Caraway: She was very
concerned that the strength of

268
00:17:00,595 --> 00:17:03,630
Mr. Cole's legal team and the
resources he was putting in to

269
00:17:03,698 --> 00:17:07,200
their divorce that she would
lose a lot of what she felt

270
00:17:07,268 --> 00:17:09,169
she was entitled to.

271
00:17:15,343 --> 00:17:17,544
<i>Narrator: Then, days before</i>
<i>their court date, Clark calls</i>

272
00:17:17,612 --> 00:17:19,846
<i>with a surprise offer.</i>

273
00:17:19,914 --> 00:17:21,381
<i>He suggests they</i>
<i>meet for dinner</i>

274
00:17:21,449 --> 00:17:24,184
<i>and try to work things out.</i>

275
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:26,353
Deborah Hunt: She talked to me
about it and she thought,

276
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:31,558
you know, it's a good idea
to try to work it out.

277
00:17:31,626 --> 00:17:34,561
It was the last time
I spoke with Theresa.

278
00:17:39,033 --> 00:17:42,302
<i>Narrator: Dinner goes</i>
<i>disastrously wrong.</i>

279
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:46,406
<i>For police, it's all still</i>
<i>a baffling mystery but</i>

280
00:17:46,474 --> 00:17:49,609
<i>it's about to be blown</i>
<i>wide open.</i>

281
00:17:49,677 --> 00:17:51,745
Norman Caraway: When we got
the autopsy report back,

282
00:17:51,812 --> 00:17:56,549
we found that both Mr. and
Mrs. Cole had been poisoned.

283
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,818
<i>Narrator: Did someone</i>
<i>poison this couple,</i>

284
00:17:58,886 --> 00:18:01,821
<i>or is there</i>
<i>another explanation?</i>

285
00:18:01,889 --> 00:18:06,960
Norman Caraway: In testing the
evidence that was collected at

286
00:18:07,028 --> 00:18:08,128
the scene, we learned that the
uh mashed potatoes

287
00:18:08,195 --> 00:18:10,063
had been poisoned.

288
00:18:10,131 --> 00:18:14,000
<i>Narrator: Incredibly, it</i>
<i>appears Theresa is to blame.</i>

289
00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:17,103
Norman Caraway: We speculate
that she had planned to murder

290
00:18:17,171 --> 00:18:20,240
her husband and then dispose
of the body and

291
00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:23,443
get away with all the money.

292
00:18:23,511 --> 00:18:25,745
<i>Narrator: Unwilling to lose a</i>
<i>cent to Clark's high priced</i>

293
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:30,750
<i>lawyers, Theresa puts her</i>
<i>desperate plan into action.</i>

294
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:34,754
<i>But how did she end up eating</i>
<i>her own poisoned food?</i>

295
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:36,523
<i>It turns out she didn't.</i>

296
00:18:36,590 --> 00:18:38,391
Theresa: Cheers.

297
00:18:38,459 --> 00:18:39,793
Norman Caraway: The coroner's
report concluded that there

298
00:18:39,860 --> 00:18:43,196
were two different
poisons used.

299
00:18:43,264 --> 00:18:46,032
<i>Narrator: Equally worried</i>
<i>about losing it all, Clark had</i>

300
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:49,069
<i>come up with the</i>
<i>same desperate plan.</i>

301
00:18:49,136 --> 00:18:51,438
Norman Caraway: Mr. Cole
had poisoned the red wine.

302
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:54,541
One could imagine that
Mrs. Cole, having thought

303
00:18:54,608 --> 00:18:57,610
she'd got away with her plan,
went to toast her success, not

304
00:18:57,678 --> 00:19:00,780
knowing that the wine had
in fact been poisoned.

305
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:02,582
<i>Narrator: Seconds</i>
<i>later, her dreams also</i>

306
00:19:02,650 --> 00:19:06,152
<i>come crashing down.</i>

307
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:07,287
Norman Caraway: I don't think
we've ever seen

308
00:19:07,355 --> 00:19:09,155
anything like this before.

309
00:19:09,223 --> 00:19:12,425
<i>Narrator: Instead of either</i>
<i>one getting it all, both end</i>

310
00:19:12,493 --> 00:19:16,162
<i>up with nothing and leave</i>
<i>Deborah with a wound</i>

311
00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:18,732
<i>that will never heal.</i>

312
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:20,500
Deborah Hunt: I couldn't
get out of bed some days.

313
00:19:20,568 --> 00:19:25,205
It's very hard to not have
your best friend anymore.

314
00:19:25,272 --> 00:19:28,174
<i>Narrator: A happy couple</i>
<i>learns in the most tragic way</i>

315
00:19:28,242 --> 00:19:33,680
<i>that money really</i>
<i>can't buy you love.</i>

316
00:19:33,748 --> 00:19:36,216
<i>But did it happen?</i>

317
00:19:36,283 --> 00:19:39,386
<i>Find out the truth about all</i>
<i>three stories after the break.</i>

318
00:19:44,647 --> 00:19:47,615
<i>Narrator: Welcome</i>
<i>back to Urban Legends.</i>

319
00:19:47,683 --> 00:19:49,451
<i>It's time to reveal the truth</i>
<i>about our</i>

320
00:19:49,518 --> 00:19:52,187
<i>three incredible stories.</i>

321
00:19:52,254 --> 00:19:55,156
<i>First up, it's the tale of the</i>
<i>transplanted heart that takes</i>

322
00:19:55,224 --> 00:19:59,494
<i>control of a well respected</i>
<i>family man,</i>

323
00:19:59,562 --> 00:20:02,297
<i>but is it fact or fiction?</i>

324
00:20:02,364 --> 00:20:04,165
Gary Schwartz: My name is
Professor Gary Schwartz and

325
00:20:04,233 --> 00:20:07,035
this is a true story.

326
00:20:07,103 --> 00:20:09,704
<i>Narrator: Sadly,</i>

<i>Transplanted organs have been</i>
<i>known to change tastes and</i>

328
00:20:12,575 --> 00:20:15,643

<i>only case of a new organ</i>

329
00:20:15,711 --> 00:20:17,946
<i>actually leading</i>
<i>someone to their death.</i>

330
00:20:20,516 --> 00:20:22,350
<i>Narrator: Next, it's the</i>
<i>tale of the Russian circus</i>

331
00:20:22,418 --> 00:20:25,954
<i>performer who met his tragic</i>
<i>end in the mouth of a hippo.</i>

332
00:20:26,021 --> 00:20:28,656
<i>But is it fact or fiction?</i>

333
00:20:36,699 --> 00:20:39,434
<i>Narrator: Russia is a popular</i>

334

<i>it's true that a lot of</i>

<i>there but not this tale.</i>

336
00:20:43,739 --> 00:20:45,773
<i>It's false.</i>

337
00:20:45,841 --> 00:20:47,842
<i>Which leaves the story of the</i>
<i>messy divorce that ends with</i>

338
00:20:47,910 --> 00:20:50,011
<i>the ultimate food fight.</i>

339
00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:52,914

Deborah Hunt: It's awful to
lose a best friend

341
00:20:54,450 --> 00:20:57,719
but I didn't because
this story is fake.

342
00:20:57,786 --> 00:21:00,688
<i>Narrator: This couple is no</i>
<i>Romeo and Juliet but the myth</i>

00:21:09,965 --> 00:21:13,234
<i>That's the end of our</i>

348
00:21:15,337 --> 00:21:19,073
<i>from the vicious lies?</i>

349
00:21:19,141 --> 00:21:21,170
<i>Don't worry if you couldn't.</i>

350
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:23,353
