warnings.
Last time on Eternal Locks,

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,560
after covert chat with a
terrified sound engineer, our

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,920
investigators took some time to
unwind both alone and together.

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,040
Rested and confidently on the
trail of Jonathan Brooks, they

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,800
dug into new leads at a burnt
out record store that was still

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,280
being watched and the
aforementioned engineer's abode.

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,280
Falcon Kane found nothing but
the ash and remains of Lesser

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Maus, but Smalls and Kern soon
found themselves on the

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,560
receiving end of gunfire,
waiting out their assailant

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,640
until the police arrived and
took care of the problem.

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,600
The party regrouped at a cafe
and shared their progress, when

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,920
suddenly the calls of abominable
birds began to ring out.

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,080
The die is cast, the pact is
sealed.

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,480
My God, have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's dread tails.

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:09,840
Anyway, horrible birds just like
you, their strange 'cause they

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,880
have glistening and grizzly
mouths ringed with tiny hook

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,760
teeth and they are flying
towards you, ready to attack

21
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,680
however you may.
No, yes.

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,560
I was about to say not to be the
guy that asks for homework and

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,800
all, but is this going to be a
stability test?

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Once they once you are attacked
by it, you will take a stability

25
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,080
test.
You know what, we should just

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,360
make the stability test right
now to see.

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,920
Yeah.
That would be.

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,920
Creepy as fuck.
Yeah, I mean, attacking you is

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,120
also upsetting, but we'll just
get it all out of the way

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,880
because you're actually first
scene.

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,840
You're only supposed to take the
most difficult stability test.

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,520
And they're going to attack.
They're going to be attacking.

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680
They are going to be attacking
so let me double check the exact

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,640
difficulty here.
Is there a plus one because

35
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,920
they're a Methos creature?
Could somebody remind me where

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,840
we are and what we're doing?
Like is this a good place to

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400
start shooting or no?
You were just having lunch.

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,480
I think you guys were just
having lunch.

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,840
Yeah.
Yeah, just on a street.

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,560
I hope the street uncrowds
itself with the advent of birds.

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,360
Yeah.
How is everybody else reacting

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,520
the quote UN quote civilians?
There aren't a lot around.

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,160
It was kind of a bad vibe.
There was a funeral procession

44
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,120
that just walked.
Through here.

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,040
Oh yeah.
Yes.

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,960
Yeah.
OK.

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,120
So you are free to start
shooting Renee.

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,520
I I didn't say that, but the
people will.

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,320
You don't have to worry about
friendly fire in this situation.

50
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,680
That's good.
Yeah, I was not worried about

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,400
that, but now I kind of AM.
Yeah, yeah.

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,360
So what's the what's the
difficulty?

53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,560
So it's a potential loss of five
difficulty.

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Yeah, you're attacked by a
supernatural creature.

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,920
So that's stability loss of
five.

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,520
And it's plus what difficulty?
Because it is a mythos creature.

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,680
I am burning 2 points. 1.
Russell, do you mind rolling for

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,320
me?
I'm I'm going to spend 2 points.

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,200
OK.
I as well.

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,440
I'm spending two on this.
It's A7 for current.

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,600
I still fail.
Oh boy.

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,800
I succeeded so oh, so he got a
full spread.

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Oh, this is this is off to a
great start.

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,480
So I think Smalls is currently
in a this like deer in a

65
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,680
headlights fugue type state.
Seeing this 'cause this is his

66
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,080
first time seeing literally
anything methos related or even

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,640
really supernatural.
He thought this was all just a

68
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,960
bunch of hokum at first.
He's been going along with all

69
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,320
of this thinking we were all
genuinely crazy people.

70
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Huh.
He's.

71
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,120
Writing a book.
I thought he went to Miska

72
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,040
Tonic.
I mean, those are not mutually

73
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,279
exclusive, but.
Here's Here's what we're going

74
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,440
to do.
Those of you who passed your

75
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
stability check, you will be
able to react before the birds

76
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,560
attack.
OK, good.

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800
How's Colin doing, by the way?
Colin failed real bad.

78
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440
That was a one.
It was, yes.

79
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,360
But I didn't spend any extra
points to fail that bad, yeah.

80
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Yeah, yeah, Street is what, half
empty?

81
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,280
Yeah, 3/4 empty even.
I really don't want to start

82
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,880
shooting in the middle of the
street, like crowded or not,

83
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,040
because I don't want to draw
attention to us.

84
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Yeah.
So here's what I'm going to do.

85
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,400
We're in a restaurant, right?
I think we were like sitting on

86
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,040
the patio, but yeah.
OK, I'm gonna grab a chair and

87
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,120
I'm assume a batter's stands, so
the moment the birds enter my

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,960
vicinity, I'm going to start
batting.

89
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,840
That's pretty awesome actually.
I'm going to pull that knife I

90
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:21,000
never get to use and stab some
birds when they also when they

91
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,320
come near.
I guess stabbing a bird would be

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,040
difficult.
I am going to slash at the

93
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,040
birds.
Make sure you keep like 5 feet

94
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,840
away from me out of my valet
range.

95
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,240
Let's not accidentally hit each
other.

96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,280
Yeah, 'cause Kearns is raging
and I'm going to reckless

97
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,960
attack.
OK.

98
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640
I will have both of you guys
make attack rolls.

99
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Difficulty.
The hit threshold at the moment

100
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
for this many birds is 4.
That's a four people.

101
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Would it be?
Scuffling.

102
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,760
It'll be whatever you want to
use.

103
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,480
I think a chair would be
weapons.

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Yeah.
It's an improvised weapon now.

105
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,360
Yeah, improvised.
Yeah, it would be weapons.

106
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200
OK fine.
I'm gonna spend 2 points of

107
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,800
weapons, could you please roll
for me?

108
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,280
Yeah, we both had.
Pretty good.

109
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,200
That's 8.
You both had, yeah.

110
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,960
I succeeded by double.
Unfortunately, greater success

111
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
does not actually get you
anything else.

112
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,600
It just makes sure that you had.
Yeah, now roll your damage, OK.

113
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,520
What kind of damage would a
chair deal to a bird?

114
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,360
How much damage do knives do?
-1.

115
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,240
OK, knife is -1 small improvised
weapon is also minus.

116
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,440
I don't think a chair would.
I guess a chair would.

117
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Count as a small weapon.
I guess a chair is a big

118
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,720
improvised weapon that does 0.
0.

119
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Fuck.
I don't know.

120
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,520
Perfect.
I do no damage to the birds.

121
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,320
I do 2 damage to the birds.
Nothing's more disheartening

122
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,240
than like a zero damage attack.
Well -1.

123
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,000
I don't think you can heal the
enemies so.

124
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,480
You wave your knife around.
Extra birds appear.

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,920
Oh, that's a cool knife.
No.

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,320
Hang out with that knife.
The knife of murder.

127
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,200
This isn't what I expected.
Murder.

128
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,800
Wait, no, that's crows.
We're dealing with grackles.

129
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,520
You're dealing with awful
grackles so you're trying to

130
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,120
stab, but the birds are flying
all over the place.

131
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,000
You take a big swipe with the
chair though and knock 2 to the

132
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,040
ground.
Killing each point of damage you

133
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,080
do is going to kill a bird.
Nice.

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Now the birds are going to
attack no, because there are

135
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,240
enough of them.
As you start knocking down the

136
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,800
birds, they'll be able to attack
less targets, but at the moment

137
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,600
they are able to definitely
attack 4 targets.

138
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,880
So each one of you is going to
be attacked by these birds.

139
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,760
Well, that's not fair.
And they're going to add a one

140
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,080
point of scuffling to their
role.

141
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,880
So smalls 7 to hit.
Ouch.

142
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Oh.
Boy.

143
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Solid.
JB also 7 to hit.

144
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,640
Burn price.
Two to hit.

145
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,520
Miss.
And calling for the hit.

146
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400
You sunk my detective ship all.
Right.

147
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,440
That chair is really doing like
Kearns is doing great against

148
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,640
the birds so far.
Yeah, I was about to say the

149
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,720
dice tell the story.
I'm just windmilling the chair

150
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,960
around so they can't even get at
me.

151
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,440
Address the chair, you should
feel good.

152
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,400
Their attacks do one D 6 -, 3.
However, they do a minimum of

153
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,679
one damage whatever they want.
So and I'm just going to roll

154
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,600
damage for all of you.
One damage.

155
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,760
OK, OK.
Yeah, as the birds Peck at you

156
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,760
and start biting at you, the
other two can try to go.

157
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,640
Now remember, you're, you know,
you failed your stability test,

158
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,240
so it's like fight or flight or
freeze.

159
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,760
I suspect fight is where we're
going to go, but I'm not the one

160
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,840
to tell you what.
Please choose Fight.

161
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Colin's big on flight.
No.

162
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,000
I am A1 armed man in a bird
fight.

163
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,520
Punching was my strength and
that just does not seem like a

164
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,720
good idea here.
Colin is going to try to get in

165
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,120
of doors.
OK.

166
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:28,480
There is a restaurant nearby, so
obviously I run to the funeral

167
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,000
procession and try to climb in
coffin.

168
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,320
OK.
Do you?

169
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,520
Want to get arrested?
I will go into the restaurant

170
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,440
because that is the obvious
thing to do.

171
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:45,400
Yeah, you're able to run inside.
The clientele are also looking

172
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,400
around, kind of flabbergasted
and shocked.

173
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,080
I don't know if the guy runs the
place or not but it looks like

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,760
they're getting ready to lock
the door.

175
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,480
But you are good to get in and
hide from the birds Big glass

176
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,160
windows though.
Cullen's leaning up against the

177
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,760
door.
He sees the shock, stares

178
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,080
everybody in the place and he
nods and says birds.

179
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,200
What else can you say?
And what about you, Doctor

180
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,960
Smalls?
He's probably also going to head

181
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,840
for the nearest enclosed area,
so probably for the inside of

182
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,080
the restaurant also.
OK.

183
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,560
You both run inside.
The restaurant, yeah, Smalls

184
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,720
isn't a fighter.
He he he may be athletic, but at

185
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,120
best he's a mid scuffle.
So you're like a bodybuilder.

186
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,160
The muscles are just for show.
Working on the glam muscles.

187
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,920
A healthy body leads to a
healthy mind.

188
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,960
Oh, you picked the wrong job to
keep a healthy body, my friend.

189
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Or a healthy mind.
Or a healthy mind.

190
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,200
Well, see, Smalls is going to
try and work on that right now

191
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,880
and I would like to attempt a
little bit of psychological

192
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,440
triage on myself.
Oh, that's probably a good idea.

193
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Because I'm an alienist, I can
make the role at a difficulty 3

194
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,840
and I can do it to myself, but
instead of being at 2 sanity

195
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,400
points per Psychoanalysis Point
spent, it's one for one.

196
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,040
OK, you get inside and you start
to take deep breaths.

197
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,000
Taking deep breaths and like,
no, this can't.

198
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,120
No.
There has to be a logical

199
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,560
explanation for this though, and
it kind of does veer off a

200
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,320
little bit because he's like,
you know what, if I can dissect

201
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,040
one of these, I might be able to
Basically starts going off on a

202
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,320
tangent about how he can use it
to further his career.

203
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,400
OK, so yeah, it's less
affirmations and more I can make

204
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,520
some money off of this.
OK, we'll see if he's still

205
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,120
feeling his calm when the birds
start smashing into the window.

206
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,760
Spoilers, but I'm going to spend
one for the role and I fail.

207
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:10,680
So no, I do not make myself feel
better by doing this, and that's

208
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,480
fine.
I'm still in the positives, so I

209
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,160
can still use all of my
abilities.

210
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,320
It's it's.
It's fine.

211
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:20,120
How is it that both the rules
you've tried to make so far, you

212
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,440
spent enough points that the
only way to fail is A1 and then

213
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,280
you hit a one?
Yeah, yeah.

214
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,520
It happens sometimes.
OK, folks who are outside, what

215
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,720
do you do?
Well, I was feeling a lot better

216
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,680
about our odds when there were
four of us.

217
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,320
But if Kearns is going to keep
fighting, I'm going to keep

218
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,920
fighting.
If Kearns tries to run, I'm

219
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,120
going to run.
Kearns is invincible with the

220
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,160
chair.
That's true.

221
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,320
Hang on, can I have Mace on me?
I don't know if that'd be a

222
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,800
thing yet.
No, no, you all misunderstand.

223
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,120
A Mace.
Mace spray was developed in the

224
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,200
1960s.
Back.

225
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,560
Damn it.
Wait, Kearns was in World War

226
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,680
One mustard gas?
Does he have any mustard gas?

227
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Oh, here's the thing.
Can I look around and see if

228
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,160
there's a fire extinguisher
nearby?

229
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,480
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, there's there's probably a

230
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,600
fire extinguisher inside the
restaurant.

231
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,240
It's a good place for a fire
extinguisher.

232
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,320
Yeah, yeah.
OK, as all of this runs through

233
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,200
my head, I shout at JB.
Get inside, I'll cover you.

234
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,240
And I keep swinging the chair
around while walking backwards

235
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,200
towards the door.
Don't gotta tell me twice.

236
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,440
I break.
Make a break for the door.

237
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,680
OK, you are able to get in,
although the some people have

238
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,000
run out the back.
Many people have run out the

239
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,280
back.
The odor is sitting there sort

240
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,160
of stunned and confused.
He doesn't even know who to

241
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,840
blame at this point.
That sounds like a hem problem.

242
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,880
Yeah.
And are you going to attack with

243
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,800
the chair then?
Yeah, I'm going to be backing

244
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,040
up, covering JB and myself and
swinging the chair and I'm just

245
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,000
going to roll straight.
I think 3 should have spent.

246
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,520
Yeah, unfortunately, yeah, you
do not hit the.

247
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,760
I mean not enough to like take
down a bird.

248
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,240
You maybe like wing them, but
not really.

249
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,520
And now they're going to attack
you before you get inside.

250
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,360
Then you can be inside, but
they're going to get an attack

251
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,920
on you because you were
attacking.

252
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,520
They're spending one point to
hit you.

253
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,440
They rolled A1 though, so while
it's upsetting, they're not able

254
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,920
to actually hurt you as the
feathers are flying all over the

255
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,160
place and you guys get inside
this restaurant I guess.

256
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,000
I call GM preference.
Well, just look how the roles

257
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,200
have gone.
That's just not fair.

258
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,240
Take it up with roll 20.
OK, I.

259
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,160
Sometimes the day.
On the last time we were

260
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,000
recording said that I hate women
and stuck to this idea if any

261
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:56,040
and I that means I'm mad at her
although that that does mean

262
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,680
that I hate women.
You're not helping, you're gay.

263
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Forget I said anything.
Not helping your case at all

264
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,360
bud.
OK.

265
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Well, good thing I'm only about
60% women on a good day, so.

266
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Fair enough.
So you guys are inside the

267
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,760
restaurant for a moment.
Everybody has run out the back

268
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,600
except for the odor, who is sort
of flabbergasted about what's

269
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,400
going on.
And the birds are now pecking at

270
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,000
the windows.
Yeah, I guess the two who have

271
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,040
not taken their actions yet can
go.

272
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,560
So that would be call it and
smokes and then we'll get to the

273
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,320
rest of you guys.
So should I be in flight mode

274
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,600
for a while?
Yeah, your call.

275
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,560
Your call.
OK, Colin is going to run to the

276
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,280
kitchen and try to find the
grease pit beautiful.

277
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,120
The great big deep fryer full of
burning hot oil.

278
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,760
OK.
I like the way you think, which

279
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,360
is a shame because you do it so
rarely.

280
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,400
Oh sorry, sorry, I couldn't help
myself.

281
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,640
All right, I'll just go cry over
here now.

282
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,960
All right.
So you're trying to get to the

283
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,240
deep fryer, and as you run back
there, the odor says, hey, wait,

284
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,280
what are you doing?
Get out of there.

285
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,720
No Hable Espanol.
They just silent my dude.

286
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,840
But if you didn't speak Spanish,
you wouldn't know that, yeah.

287
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,680
Yeah, I'm going to try and patch
myself up a little bit.

288
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,560
So is it just a straight spend
or am I going to need to roll?

289
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480
This is not really the time to
be doing it.

290
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,880
If it's not the time to do it
mechanically, at the very least

291
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,240
narratively right now, Smalls is
currently bandaging himself up

292
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,960
because it's really the only
chance for reprieve he's had.

293
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Gotcha.
And you're not going to want to

294
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280
walk around with like open
wounds if you.

295
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,840
Bird wounds.
Yeah, yeah.

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,840
Who knows where those mouths
have been?

297
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,440
Oh yeah, exactly.
At the very least, narratively,

298
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,800
that's what he's doing right now
to take up the time.

299
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,960
But yeah, other than that, I
really don't have anything

300
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,040
mechanically that I have
planned.

301
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,200
OK.
I'm going to say everybody could

302
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,560
do one more action before the
birds break in.

303
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,119
I'm going to shout at the owner
I think.

304
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040
Or the Fuego por favor fire
extinguisher please.

305
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,960
He points, confused.
OK.

306
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,599
I go and grab that that thing
and I'm a make ready.

307
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,280
Hang on, hang on.
Maybe drop a couple tables OK to

308
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,520
their sides so we can use that
as cover.

309
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Gotcha.
Yeah, to clarify about the first

310
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,400
aid, you could use first aid if
you could focus solely on

311
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,360
healing the person you were
trying to heal at the moment

312
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,040
with the birds pounding on the
window.

313
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,520
That's not that's not going to
happen.

314
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Yeah.
So we're using tables as cover.

315
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,480
We have a fire extinguisher.
OK.

316
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,160
Yeah, then J VS going to also
get behind table cover and get

317
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,360
ready with the knife.
Probably yell at smalls, grab

318
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:58,360
something if you can and get
ready.

319
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,480
Smalls is just going to kind of
look at him quizzically and go

320
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,000
back to mentally preparing for
what is to come.

321
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,800
Yeah, everybody reacts about
like that.

322
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,760
First time they encounter
something like this.

323
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,040
Yep.
Cullen grabs A putt to scoop oil

324
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,680
from the basin and then realizes
this is going to be much more

325
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,600
difficult with one hand.
Shit.

326
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,280
Hey I could use a hand in here.
I shoved the fire extinguisher

327
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,520
into smalls arms and army crawl
into the kitchen.

328
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,600
Whether Smalls uses this option
is up to his currently

329
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,160
compromised discretion, but he
does have an option now.

330
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,960
That is why I did not give him
the gun.

331
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,040
Smart is stable.
Yeah, as the horrible sound of

332
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,880
squawking gets louder and louder
as at least like 50 birds bust

333
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,520
through the window of this
restaurant and just fill up the

334
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,320
entire place with squawking
attacking.

335
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,840
Nice.
Feel free to use your knife.

336
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,320
Give us those anime rolls.
Got a 50% chance to hit.

337
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,600
I succeeded.
Yay, got your damage.

338
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Oh, come.
On all right.

339
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,560
I just asked you not to roll the
one and what did you do?

340
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Such a betrayal, Nathan.
Yeah, JB is not equipped to

341
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,280
fight birds.
I'm going to commit a homicide

342
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,160
on my laptop.
JB needs a baby, needs a bigger

343
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,440
weapon.
Can I spend weapons points to up

344
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,520
my damage by the way?
No.

345
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,760
Good to know, good to know.
There's no real way to boost

346
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,360
damage outside of getting a
better weapon.

347
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,880
Yeah.
I need a better weapon.

348
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Yeah.
So Smalls is going to pull the

349
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,400
pin and activate the fire
extinguisher.

350
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,160
OK.
Directly into the path of these

351
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,200
voids.
OK, yeah, let's see.

352
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,720
That would mess them up.
I'll even give you a + 1 to the

353
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,320
damage on plus one to the damage
on that.

354
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,000
And I think it's probably
weapons.

355
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,720
I mean, it's not a real weapon.
Athletics for being able to aim

356
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,200
accurately.
It's not athletics, fucking no.

357
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,960
I had to try look.
I should be able to use bluff to

358
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,360
climb, no shut up.
Can I argue that the damage

359
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:36,520
should be bigger because many
fire extinguishers from the

360
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,560
1930s contained highly toxic and
dangerous chemicals, primarily

361
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,720
carbon tetrachloride?
Oh God.

362
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,240
That's like the stuff they use
in like glass fire grenades.

363
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,480
OK, +2, but you're not going to
get a bunch of uses at it.

364
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:55,200
I'll be fine with the +2 also
because you don't really have a

365
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,640
skill for it.
If you are using this as a

366
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,000
ranged weapon, which is what it
sounds like, that's a firearms

367
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,040
check.
OK.

368
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,160
Well if you can't add points,
it's a straight 5050 shot.

369
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,960
Just make sure you don't breathe
this stuff.

370
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,720
I rolled A3.
Damn it.

371
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,400
Get your fire extinguisher
checked.

372
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,000
Yeah.
We're gonna get killed by birds.

373
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Short record tonight, yeah.
As you're looking at the birds,

374
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,960
you see that there are like
mouths growing off the sides of

375
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,920
their bodies as well.
No.

376
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,120
At least some of them mouth
birds, yeah.

377
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,480
What are the other two doing?
Colin, what do you need?

378
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,760
All right, so we're going to
create a thermal reaction of

379
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,760
explosive magnitude.
I need something hot and

380
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,720
something cold and then I
combine them so that the birds

381
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,560
get bad stuff happen to them.
OK, I'll grab the oil, you grab

382
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,800
the ice.
Ice great idea.

383
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760
I don't think that's how.
I'm not going to question it.

384
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,080
You do you.
No, I've worked in the kitchens.

385
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,280
I know what happens if you drop
ice into a boiling hot oil.

386
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,960
It just fucking explodes.
Also got a friend who had a bad

387
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,720
run in with a home still.
Oh cool.

388
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,840
Yeah.
Yeah, it's.

389
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680
A bitch.
Yeah, it's, it's no good.

390
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,640
You could like look that.
You could look that up.

391
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,160
I will not.
Yeah, I've made the mistake of

392
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,120
Googling something to learn
about injuries twice in my life.

393
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,320
Once I googled the word mangled
to see what a mangled arm looks

394
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,040
like.
I regret doing that.

395
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,840
And once it was to see what a
third degree burn looks like,

396
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,280
and I regret doing that too.
Oh.

397
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,160
Boy.
Yeah, yeah.

398
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,520
So I will not.
This is, you know, to be fair,

399
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,800
this is probably exaggerated a
little bit, you know, because it

400
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,120
would be more that like it
wouldn't necessarily always

401
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,000
explode like a grenade
necessarily, right?

402
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,680
Although I guess it depends.
It would spray boiling hot oil

403
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,880
everywhere though which?
Is what we really need right

404
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,080
now, so.
Yes, unfortunately I do imagine

405
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,800
this going on behind Smalls and
JB.

406
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,680
Hopefully the birds will act as
a buffer.

407
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,280
Right, they have filled the
whole place.

408
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,440
OK, hang on.
Can we, can we just think about

409
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,480
it like how do we, how do we do
it like add the birds and not

410
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,240
add them?
Thinking comes later.

411
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:19,960
We need to do stuff fine.
OK, OK, You're the brains.

412
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,600
Let's go.
Oh.

413
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,640
No.
Why?

414
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,560
Is Oh no the.
Brains, The other person is

415
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,800
current.
Yeah, yeah.

416
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,000
OK, which one of you is making
an explosives role?

417
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,240
Oh, I can do that.
Our brains were red and.

418
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,240
I don't think I even take a
minus to that one.

419
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,000
No.
What's my difficulty?

420
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,080
The hit threshold is 4.
OK.

421
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,320
Question, yeah, since we're sort
of coordinating this attack, can

422
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,720
we pull it?
Yeah, I'll let you do that.

423
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,080
You're not going to be able to
make it attack this turn, but

424
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,280
you can.
Yeah, you can assist.

425
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,040
That's fine.
Does that really make sense for

426
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,960
what we're doing?
Yeah, I'll spend 2 points.

427
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,040
I'll spend 1.
OK, you.

428
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Succeed.
Make it happen.

429
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,320
All right, so I was going to
treat this damage equivalent to

430
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,040
like a pipe bomb, but I which
would be a + 2 damage.

431
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,000
However, I'm going to give it an
extra fucking five more damage

432
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,680
on top of that because birds are
relatively easy to kill an

433
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,560
explosion.
Yeah, flying type mythos

434
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,480
monsters are weak against fire.
Yeah, yeah.

435
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,320
So this would be a + 7.
To the birds.

436
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,880
Or against the birds.
Yeah, yeah.

437
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,440
I suppose we'll.
Deal with God, you guys.

438
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,960
JB and Smalls.
We can't do zero damage.

439
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Oh wow.
Get him.

440
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,760
Fuck.
Oh no, that's still, that's

441
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,200
still 10.
Yes, you killed.

442
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,960
Ten birds.
Nailed it, problem solved.

443
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Now there are No.
There's still enough birds that

444
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,880
they're hit Threshold.
Yeah.

445
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,080
They haven't changed once you've
killed a few more birds.

446
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,640
Well, once you kill a few more
birds, they're actually going to

447
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,320
get harder to hit.
But there's going to be a chance

448
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,360
they disperse everyone.
Every once in a while, you kill

449
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:11,400
a certain number of birds.
OK, that's good.

450
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,400
You now need to roll the damage
for your friends.

451
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560
Who we said we're hiding behind
cover.

452
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,240
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.

453
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,400
So -1.
Right, I rolled the two.

454
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,480
OK, so there each of them is
going to take one damage.

455
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,400
I can look at that.
I can look at that.

456
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,160
That's just a bit of boiling
oil.

457
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Suck it up.
Yeah.

458
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:35,800
Oil spray.
Yeah, I mean, from experience,

459
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,720
it's not that bad.
You see the restaurant owner is

460
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,560
on the phone calling the police.
Perfect.

461
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,640
Yeah, that's back up.
Not unwise.

462
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,360
Not, not on you necessarily, to
be clear.

463
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,880
Yeah, on the.
On the birds, Oh, they're never

464
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,640
going to send anybody.
What's he going to say?

465
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,360
We're being attacked by birds.
The police aren't going to come.

466
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,680
They're going to think it's a
prank.

467
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,160
There is a way we can make the
police come.

468
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,120
Let's not do that, though.
Whatever it is you're about to

469
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,520
think that would make the police
guaranteed to come.

470
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,680
Let's not.
Bird attack.

471
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,280
Oh no.
And stuff.

472
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,280
No shotgun.
Yeah, well, actually a shotgun

473
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,280
would be a pretty good idea
right now in terms of killing

474
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,200
birds.
OK, this is going to go up

475
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,960
against everyone.
Get a roll for each one of you

476
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,960
in turn.
We're going to do Smalls, JB,

477
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,880
Colin, then Kurtz.
Small money all whammies.

478
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,640
Small money, all whammies.
Smalls.

479
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,200
Damn it.
JB.

480
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,960
Woo.
Thank God.

481
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,960
Colin Kurtz all.
Right, I can take it.

482
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,880
It wasn't all whammies, but at
least I didn't get take.

483
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,920
At least I didn't take a hit.
The damage is 2 to everybody.

484
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,160
Except for me.
I kind of want to say it's

485
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,760
because I like jumped on top of
you, sort of covered you.

486
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,560
Your heroism is noted and
appreciated.

487
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,000
Everybody else got something to
do.

488
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,560
What do you do?
Third time's the charm.

489
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:19,360
Cullen would like to slide a pan
over to JB as it has a.

490
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,360
Larger a larger.
Weapon.

491
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,360
Yeah, it may be a little easier
to swat a bird with.

492
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,760
It you know what, that's fair
and I am going to spend 2 points

493
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,640
from weapons.
Just don't roll A1.

494
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,640
And I make in exactly the right
place for this too.

495
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,360
OK, I I succeeded.
It's plus zero damage.

496
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,600
And that is?
You're using a large weapon.

497
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:43,400
Better.
That's better.

498
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:49,320
Or I guess this may be a heavy
club esque woo. 5.

499
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,000
OK, just turns out it's probably
a guy.

500
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,480
If you needed a club, just swag.
Those motherfuckers out of the

501
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,240
air to get fucked.
Bird swarm.

502
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,440
Yes, good job you are smacking
the birds.

503
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,320
You have taken down like 5 of
them as they ride around on the

504
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:16,600
ground screeching out.
Their voices are sounding almost

505
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:23,560
human, but speaking in syllables
that have no connection to

506
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:29,240
traditional language, which will
set you on. 676767.

507
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,800
I'm gonna smack you right now.
All the kids are saying that.

508
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,720
Thankfully the high schoolers
are over saying that that's

509
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,360
mostly guns and kids were doing
that.

510
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,560
Bring less shit.
Yeah, I'm in grade 3/4.

511
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Oh yeah, no, of course.
I mean.

512
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,880
Unfortunate.
So that's what JB did and that's

513
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,880
what Colin did.
I guess if there's another small

514
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,320
thing you want to do, Colin, you
can.

515
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,560
But getting the the frying pan
was the main thing I think we're

516
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,760
doing finding the.
Right.

517
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,480
Yeah.
And very appreciate I'm in a

518
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,200
support role right now.
It's very appreciated man.

519
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,160
Smalls and Kurds, what's the
plan?

520
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,960
Smalls is going to attempt the
fire extinguisher one last time.

521
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,720
Yeah, I imagine this is probably
the last shot that's in it.

522
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,360
Yes, I was going to give you 2.
Yeah.

523
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,960
All right.
I was assuming it was going to

524
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,000
be a 2. 5050 roll at least a
four.

525
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,600
You got this, You got.
This I rolled a. 4 Woo.

526
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,720
Yay.
All right.

527
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,520
Second Birds.
Fire extinguisher does +2.

528
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,400
Yeah, you said +2.
Knock those motherfuckers out of

529
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,360
the sky.
Four.

530
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,720
That's going.
Yeah, OK, I have good news and

531
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,560
bad news.
Yay, good news.

532
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,040
The bad news?
OK, bad news.

533
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Their hit threshold just went
up.

534
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,680
To five, I assume.
To five, yes, their hit

535
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,640
threshold is now 5 because there
are less of.

536
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,520
Them.
Yeah, that makes sense.

537
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,120
However, they can only attack
three people now, and I'm going

538
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,480
to roll to see if you have
broken their will.

539
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,960
Oh, is that good?
That's a.

540
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:18,400
That's a low number.
Is that good, Dan?

541
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Is their will broken?
If the role is equal or greater

542
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,960
to the flock's previous hit
threshold, the flock maintains

543
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,720
its cohesion and continues to
attack.

544
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,200
OK, that's I rolled A1 though,
so that's bad.

545
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400
The birds.
The birds run away.

546
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,000
No, you gotta.
Yeah.

547
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,440
That's fair.
They are, yeah.

548
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,920
You're fine, don't worry.
About it.

549
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,200
OK, we introduced them to our
kitchen nightmare.

550
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,480
Yeah.
OK, we did.

551
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,120
OK, can I say that while this
all has been happening, Kearns

552
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,120
ran into the kitchen, came out
with a cleaver, with a cleaver

553
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,680
in each hand.
Like, bring it on, you fucked.

554
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,760
Oh.
I mean, to be clear, they're not

555
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,640
like gone, but they are sort of
flying away now, going back up

556
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,800
into the sky with several on the
ground that you have killed.

557
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
There's 29 birds left that
started with 50, so you got a

558
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,560
lot of birds.
Wow.

559
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:21,000
All right, Yeah, let's Skidoo.
We're we're going to want to

560
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,480
grab a couple of these.
Yeah.

561
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,480
We already had lunch turns.
Very funny.

562
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720
The man says.
What the hell was that?

563
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,480
Can we have A to go bag please?
No, no, no.

564
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:47,840
Kearns let's get like 3 bags.
Yeah, 3 to go bags and here's

565
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,480
the money for our food.
I think it's best if you just

566
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,240
forget this happened.
The cop car pulling up outside.

567
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,960
Shit.
Is now, you know what, maybe you

568
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,840
heard the sirens earlier, but it
was sort of being drowned out by

569
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,600
all of the bird noises.
And two Mexican police officers

570
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,600
get out of the car and are
looking around and the first one

571
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,480
says we got report of an animal
attack, He says as he, like,

572
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,520
sort of kicks one of the birds.
What the hell is going on here?

573
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,520
Animals attacked us.
Presumably one of us is

574
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,200
translating, yeah.
Yeah, a bunch of birds came and

575
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,680
attacked us and we fought them
off with stuff we found lying

576
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,720
around the kitchen.
Yeah.

577
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Yeah, so.
The cop looks over at the the

578
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,920
owner, it says OK, is this an
insurance scam?

579
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,720
That's a fair question.
That's a hell of a scam.

580
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,800
Yeah, my friend, if it was.
No, no, look, these are weird

581
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,680
mythos.
Birds.

582
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:56,520
Look in its mouth.
Jesus.

583
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,960
Christ.
As you look at it, it no longer

584
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,000
looks like a crazy Bithos bird,
it just looks like a normal

585
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,680
grapple of.
Course.

586
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,080
OK, so I'm just playing with his
mouth, all right.

587
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Pretty full bird, all right.
Like to attack people?

588
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,680
OK.
We'll go, hey, we'll get out of

589
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,520
your hair.
Let's just let's go, team.

590
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Let's just grab.
Grab, I'm I'm, I'm sorry, I'm

591
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,400
sorry.
I'm going to have to.

592
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,000
Take our statement.
I'm going.

593
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,440
To and let us go.
Yes, yes, I'm going to need to

594
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,920
take your statement.
He looks over.

595
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,600
If you guys are the witnesses,
I'm going to need, well, the

596
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,400
odor and at least one of you to
come and make a statement.

597
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,000
I understand that this is, I
don't, I don't know if I

598
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,360
understand what's going on here,
but I'm going to need at least

599
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,040
one of you to come with me down
to the station and make a

600
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,840
report.
OK, should I do it?

601
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,880
Because this, this man, I think,
is about to stick his remaining

602
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,640
hand up the Greco's butt and use
it as a fucking puppet.

603
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Who has cop talk?
Oh, I do.

604
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,040
Could Colin can then conceivably
use cop talk to talk his way out

605
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,199
of having to leave?
So the owner is now seeing me

606
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:13,199
speak fluent Spanish to these
cops after saying I don't speak

607
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:16,880
it.
He must think we're the worst

608
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,760
motherfuckers after all this.
Hey, we protected his

609
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,199
restaurant.
Is that what this was?

610
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,840
OK, yes, fair.
The owner says, I think, I think

611
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,080
this what our man brought the
beer.

612
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,320
He, he, he commands the birds.
He's a bird wizard.

613
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:42,320
What a thought please.
I prefer the term Aviomancer.

614
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,239
You know, this might actually
help our case because Colin

615
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,000
usually says something and it
sounds insane, but that's good

616
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,600
for us because it's making the
owner sound insane right now.

617
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,520
OK, Yep.
Colin, what would you like to do

618
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,440
with this situation?
I'm sort of thinking a cup talk

619
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,320
reassurance combo where I'm
telling them I will swing around

620
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,960
later to do this.
You know what, I think the cop

621
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,640
talk is going to let you do
that, he says.

622
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,680
OK, here's my card.
Just swing by the station by end

623
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,480
of day, maybe get yourself
cleaned up.

624
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,840
Oh, that's a fantastic idea.
I was planning to get over there

625
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,360
later anyway.
And what's your name, Sir?

626
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,720
Michael Love, Shaq.
OK.

627
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,880
Thank you, Mr. Love.
Shaq and where are you staying?

628
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:41,320
The Casa de Cucaracha.
Good thing that's the name of an

629
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,960
awful real place.
You should be staying at a

630
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,880
better place than that.
But sure, All right, stay out of

631
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,720
trouble.
Would love to get a statement

632
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:53,160
from you.
Come on by, pick yourself up.

633
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,920
We have a medic at the station
if you want it, but.

634
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,040
Oh, smalls, huh?
You were looking to get patched

635
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,000
up?
Did you want to accompany these

636
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,080
fine gentlemen?
Pretty confident that I can

637
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,280
patch myself up, thank you.
Yeah, that's all right.

638
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:15,160
Let's regroup at the hotel.
Before we go, can I write this

639
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:21,360
poor man a check for repairs?
That's nice, yes.

640
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:25,280
And like Bill it to Miss Winston
Rogers.

641
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:31,320
Less nice.
Less nice, yeah.

642
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,960
She gives me the per diem and
everything but I don't.

643
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,200
She's in another country is the
thing.

644
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,160
You you'd probably need to pay
him and then like get reimbursed

645
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,320
by Winston.
All right, fine.

646
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,680
Yeah, you are her top.
Goon I I read this this man a

647
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,320
check for repairs and I
apologize profusely.

648
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:58,480
I think you have one point of
Winston Rogers credit rating

649
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,280
that you could use for that.
I'll give you 1 floating point

650
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,480
if you're spending on that.
Anything else you're not going

651
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880
to get reimbursed for, but
she'll she'll give you that one.

652
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,520
OK, well.
Yeah.

653
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,600
Wait, is that 1 floating point
per person or?

654
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,840
Let's say 2 for the whole group.
OK.

655
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:21,480
Yeah, so say my goodbyes and
leave and catch up to the others

656
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,160
and I go, yeah, well, let's,
let's try not to blow up

657
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,440
anything else if we can.
I don't know.

658
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,120
We tend to do a lot of blowing
up on these excursions.

659
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,760
Just our line of work I suppose.
As you're leaving, I need you to

660
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,680
make a sense trouble Difficulty
4 check.

661
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,440
Fuck.
I'm going to spend my 2

662
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,880
remaining points.
That's a 2 for Colin.

663
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:54,040
Fuck sake.
Fuck sake, you're rolling a lot

664
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,200
of ones there buddy.
I know.

665
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,840
Oh, did everyone fail?
I only see 2 rolls so far.

666
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,680
No, I just failed.
Nope, there's a third one.

667
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,640
You are our last.
Toe OK, I'm I'm spending my 3

668
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,400
points.
OK.

669
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,360
I'm spending my three points, So
what do my paranoid eyes see?

670
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:16,320
You see that there was somebody
who was watching all of this go

671
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,400
down.
You don't see them, but you see

672
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,120
evidence as you're leaving of
like, there is definitely

673
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,120
somebody like sitting in an
alley across the street smoking

674
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,720
and watching this happen.
And maybe you were chatting with

675
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:30,280
some people.
I, I don't want to go through

676
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,280
quite all of it.
But he ran away.

677
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,120
When the police came, somebody
said yeah, it was a guy with

678
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,200
some binoculars.
Yikes.

679
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,520
Yeah, looks like, looks like
we're still being watched.

680
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,560
And the background, we just see
him shuffling off as Colin says

681
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,400
he prefers the term aviomancer.
You know what I'll give you?

682
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,240
I'll give you one more thing
about it while you're being

683
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:56,240
watched, because you you
succeed, I'll give you one more

684
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,600
piece of info.
You catch somebody who tells you

685
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,480
that they saw somebody.
He's a shorter Mexican guy, had

686
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,600
a hat chain smoking so fast you
think he was drinking them.

687
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,920
That description.
That's something.

688
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,680
We don't see all of that scene
play out, but you, you catch

689
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,560
that little bit of info maybe
for one of the soccer who look

690
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,120
at that's nice as you make your
way back to the hotel at like

691
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,000
it's like 3:00.
In the afternoon.

692
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,920
Yeah, in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Yeah, yeah.

693
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,160
I mean, a lot's happened.
Yeah, it's been quite the day.

694
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,920
The very least, we need a
shower.

695
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,920
Yeah, we got this record
repaired too.

696
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:42,160
We could listen to that.
You could.

697
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:44,160
That's absolutely true.
You could listen to the record.

698
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,840
Are you sure?
That's.

699
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,400
Why?
I, I I.

700
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,760
Don't wise.
This is a bad idea.

701
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,680
Wise is staying home and taking
it easy.

702
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,280
I think we are beyond wise now.
I put it on.

703
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,040
I mean, do you have a record
player in your room?

704
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,880
No, I think there's one in the
hotel bar.

705
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,160
Oh.
Put it in the fucking jukebox.

706
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,640
You know what, I it is your
call, but I guess I did

707
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,040
establish you were in a very
nice hotel, so you'd probably

708
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,640
get a record player for your
room.

709
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,600
Oh fuck.
This is, I mean I I was kind of

710
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,000
willing to attempt to yellow it,
but record player in a room

711
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,640
would probably be the better
idea.

712
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,000
All right, you're going to
listen to the recording.

713
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,480
Yep, I think it's just all of us
in the room, isn't it?

714
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,080
I think so, if you're all yeah.
Yeah.

715
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,400
You know what?
JB covers his ears.

716
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,720
Probably was.
Yeah, JB is going to cover his

717
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:56,640
ears and is fully ready to
fucking kick the record player

718
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,400
off the dresser if everybody
else starts going insane.

719
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,040
Yeah, if they just start
stabbing people, yeah, fine.

720
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,360
It's just a record.
The way you guys are so scared

721
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,120
about some music, Music's nice.
Daniel.

722
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,640
Music in the real world is nice.
Yeah, I'm going to pop a pill

723
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,960
before we do.
Just head into it a bit extra

724
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,200
relaxed.
I think Colin has been trying to

725
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,040
get the brass knuckles on this
entire time since the

726
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,200
restaurant.
Yeah, it's kind of hard to put

727
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,280
it on the one hand.
Accidentally invented a fidget

728
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:41,240
spinner here.
The song itself is not a very

729
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:49,760
complicated song.
You hear a simple guitar,

730
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:59,800
occasionally little bits of
drums and a woman's voice

731
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:06,680
rhythmically singing some simple
phrases in Spanish, and then

732
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,840
also wordlessly cooing and
crooning.

733
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,680
A little bit of a jazz, a little
bit of a.

734
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:23,320
The things you hear are MI
corazon, MI Amor, MI lombre and

735
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,880
MI Boca.
My heart, my love, my name and

736
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:35,080
my mouth.
Yes, it's really relaxing,

737
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,000
Really relaxing.
JB stab it, it's relaxing.

738
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:46,000
Here is what's going to happen
if you would like you can just

739
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,720
really embrace the song, give
yourself over or you could make

740
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:56,080
a difficulty 3 stability test.
No stability loss at stake to

741
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,400
resist the hypnotic effect.
Do I Also you don't know what

742
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,600
will happen if you said you were
covering your ears, you're.

743
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,480
OK.
You're not on Nectar right now,

744
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,120
are you?
Not?

745
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,680
OK, Yeah, you're.
Hilarious that you asked that,

746
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,480
Dan.
I'm scared now.

747
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,120
I'm going to leave this up to
the Bunny gods and roll AD six.

748
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,760
If I roll high, I'm going to
just like relax and chill out to

749
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,440
the music.
If I roll low, I'm going to try

750
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,320
and fight it.
OK, So apparently I'm trying to

751
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,400
fight it.
OK, It's just going to be a

752
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,360
straight roll though because I'm
low on stability.

753
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,200
It's difficulty 3, so you've got
a 2/3 chance.

754
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,720
There we go.
Yeah.

755
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,480
A5 OK, OK.
Colin does not think he deserves

756
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,600
to relax, so he will fight it.
OK.

757
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,840
That tracks.
That's a three.

758
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,760
I did explicitly say that I'm
heading into this a little extra

759
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,160
relaxed.
You did.

760
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,360
Nobody was pulling my tongue and
yet I went and said it.

761
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:06,200
So you just get a, you just get
a vibe with it.

762
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,880
You get a vibe with it.
So yeah, you see, Kearns, Kearns

763
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,720
is like his eyes are kind of
half hooded and like he's

764
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:21,160
nodding his head to the beat.
Kearns, I have great news, gain

765
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,960
a point of stability.
Thank you.

766
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,600
I also need you to make a note
somewhere on your character

767
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,960
sheet.
Uh huh.

768
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Gave themselves over to song 1.
All right, OK.

769
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,200
Probably goes under mental
disorders, right?

770
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,080
Yeah, that's a, that's a decent
place to put it.

771
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,800
Yeah, that's all.
So it just feels nice.

772
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,080
And like, it's, you know, the
other people with you maybe find

773
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,080
it a little bit like weirdly
upsetting, but you're just sort

774
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,800
of like, there's something about
it, man Something like really.

775
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:02,800
Yeah, and that Lady has some
pipes on her.

776
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,680
Nice.
Yeah, she's definitely got a

777
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:09,080
mouth on her too, just just
singing about.

778
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,760
It she so you say she's got some
pipes.

779
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,400
I, I will be clear, you know,
she's got a beautiful singing

780
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,880
voice.
She's not singing loudly.

781
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,360
It's very sort of a very sort of
soft sort of voice that you're

782
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,680
here.
My brain is not entirely

783
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,360
connected to my mouth right now,
Kearns is.

784
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,120
That is not not Renee.
Gotcha.

785
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,560
So you've listened to the song
outside of Nothing seems to have

786
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,160
you know if you were expecting
something else to happen, it has

787
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,200
not.
Well, that wasn't so bad.

788
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,840
Yeah, and that was actually
really nice.

789
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,840
Cleared my head.
I feel better.

790
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,560
The songs you know, you keep
thinking about the song.

791
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:49,800
It's kind of like stuck in your
head.

792
00:45:50,400 --> 00:46:02,240
Me Boca, me nombre, me corazon.
I just keep like keep like

793
00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:04,480
humming it to myself.
Fun.

794
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,760
See.
Wasn't that nice?

795
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,680
Wasn't that nice, everyone.
I feel like you guys should just

796
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,480
relax a little bit.
You can stand to have some

797
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,480
stability.
The last.

798
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,520
Time.
Was pretty good.

799
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:20,000
Relaxed in this fucking game.
JB got kidnapped well.

800
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,240
What are the chances it'll
happen twice?

801
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,520
Hi.
Not 0.

802
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,160
Hey everyone, I'll get you back
to the show in just a second.

803
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,240
Just popping in to say we have a
Patreon.

804
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,760
The plan is to keep all our real
content free, but with the

805
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,760
Patreon you'll have access to
the things that are easier to

806
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,360
miss in an audio format, along
with a couple extras like the

807
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,640
Super mid music I make with the
show, scans of Renee's

808
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,240
paintings, and an episode or two
that never made it to air.

809
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,640
We didn't get into this to make
money, but if we could hire an

810
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,520
editor, the rest of the cast
would have no choice but to

811
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,560
release me from the terrifying
editing dimension that

812
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,200
constantly shifts and turtles
one with my feet.

813
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,360
When water comes, it smells
wrong and I haven't seen my

814
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,080
family in weeks.
Once when I was sleeping,

815
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,440
something grabbed me and threw
me across the room, but when I

816
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,120
opened my eyes there was nothing
there except the computer and a

817
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,120
pile of strange coarse meat.
Sustained me for another few

818
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,080
days.
And the echoes and pispers are a

819
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,080
pain to remove from my track.
You can find it at

820
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,160
patreon.com/dread Tails.
So you have some time, if you

821
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,040
want to patch yourselves up a
little bit, you can spend your

822
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,120
first aid.
I will say, even while the birds

823
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,400
did fucking come for you when
you were out on the street, I

824
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,760
would say that the hotel at the
moment is a relatively safe

825
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,240
place, which means you can
restore your general abilities.

826
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,640
All right.
Yay.

827
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:39,440
Yay, got all my son's trouble
back.

828
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,160
Wait, all of them or is there?
Oh, no, no, no, no.

829
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,320
I was going to tell you what You
don't get everything.

830
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,520
Yeah, no.
No, no, there's rules.

831
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,080
There's rules you may refresh up
to three general abilities

832
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,200
except for Health, Sanity, and
Stability.

833
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,240
OK, sense.
Trouble.

834
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,960
All right, 3 abilities.
And can I roll my first aid

835
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:03,920
before restoring those?
Yeah, sure.

836
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:09,880
OK shit, in that case I will
spend all five and then I will

837
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,640
refresh that one.
Refresh sense trouble.

838
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,680
So technically the way refreshes
work is you need to find

839
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,640
somewhere safe to rest, and you
could only do it once per

840
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,080
session.
OK.

841
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,960
OK, good.
It'll be athletic.

842
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:26,200
Yeah, I'm, I'm a 10 out of 12
health.

843
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,040
I think I'm doing OK.
I am at.

844
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,640
I'm a four of seven.
Six of eight.

845
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,240
You guys are so wee.
Hey JB, want to do some mummy

846
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,640
stuff on each other?
What?

847
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,040
You know, bandages.
Oh, oh, mummy.

848
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,760
Wouldn't you not Mummy?
Wouldn't all?

849
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,200
Right.
Yeah, yeah, sure.

850
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,800
You guys think weird things
sometimes.

851
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,400
We think we're things.
Your brain is broken.

852
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,400
But yeah, let's totally first
aid each other.

853
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,720
Lovely.
Yeah, how many points are you

854
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:00,360
doing by?
It's one to two on somebody

855
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:00,880
else.
OK.

856
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Right now it's yeah.
Right.

857
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,000
It's 2:00 to 1:00.
If you're it's one to two, you

858
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,000
get 2 points.
Yeah, yeah.

859
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,480
OK, so I'm going to spend one
point to give you 2 health back.

860
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,880
Yes.
How much help did you need

861
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,040
again?
I was down three, but the last

862
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,440
injury was 2, so, well, there
you go.

863
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,840
That's all you can do.
I will spend a point on you as I

864
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,160
believe that was the same for
you.

865
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,400
Yeah.
Yeah, my last injuries were both

866
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,960
bird related, so.
So it's not the last injury you

867
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,560
took, it's the injuries you took
before the scene in the seat.

868
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,360
So yeah, it's one per seat.
For example, if you get shot and

869
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,520
then somebody punches you during
the same fight, you could repair

870
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,640
both.
If you get shot, run away, get

871
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,960
into another fight, then
somebody punches you, you could

872
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,000
only heal the punch.
OK, OK.

873
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,640
So I would have only regained 4
of that.

874
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,840
Even still the damage that you
took earlier.

875
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,520
Both of my both the hits I took
I believe were bird related, so

876
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,640
yeah.
So does one point do it or

877
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,400
should I spend another?
No one point does it.

878
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,840
Perfect.
In addition to this, Collin's

879
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,680
going to be getting gussied up
in his best FBI costume.

880
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,880
Oh.
Right, because we're going

881
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,880
clubbing, aren't we?
No, I have to go to the police

882
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,040
station before end of day.
No, you don't.

883
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,120
You gave them a fake name.
No, you don't.

884
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,600
Do you remember that fellow who
was shooting at you guys?

885
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,440
The police came.
What do you think he's doing

886
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:21,840
right now?
Oh.

887
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:27,800
Oh guys, call me crazy, but I
think Colin just had a good

888
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,360
idea.
Holy shit.

889
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:36,240
I also want to say this FBI suit
is like something Colin Special

890
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:38,320
ordered.
He's never got a chance to wear

891
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:43,040
it and he's super excited about.
It is it going to fit?

892
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,080
It might be a little Peggy
there.

893
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,520
You go.
The issue is that probably

894
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,000
ordered it when you still had.
Both arms.

895
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:55,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you can like tie one sleeve

896
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,080
and it's probably and yeah,
it'll be fine.

897
00:50:58,240 --> 00:50:59,200
Yeah, it's not a.
Huge.

898
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,960
That's just going to be an issue
for any clothes Colin gets going

899
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,800
forward.
Yeah, exactly.

900
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:09,880
Yeah, safety pins.
OK, so sounds like going out

901
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,000
this evening.
We've got at least one person

902
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,000
going towards the police, yeah.
I don't think we should be on

903
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,280
our own.
I think let's travel in pairs.

904
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,720
Yes, always buddy system.
Yes, buddy system.

905
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,440
Who wants to come with me?
I think because only the two of

906
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:31,480
us speak Spanish, Mr. Cain, we
should separate so each pair has

907
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,440
a Spanish speaker.
That makes sense.

908
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,320
Yeah.
JB Smalls.

909
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:40,320
I think I will stay in this JB
if you would.

910
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,680
Stay in.
Oh, you're, you're hilarious.

911
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,840
Have fun clubbing.
All right, let's go, Colin.

912
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,120
Yeah, that's what you're
wearing.

913
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:52,280
Like, look at me.
Come on.

914
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,200
You got to bring it up.
JB.

915
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,200
I.
Look like a detective.

916
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,560
Yeah, you need to look like you
work for the FBI.

917
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:00,960
I'm going to tell them you're my
partner.

918
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,000
I do have a suit.
Come on, we can go through my

919
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,080
stuff.
It's all right, I have a suit.

920
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,240
OK, let's do this.
We're not going to have a cute

921
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,560
montage play and dress up with
Cullen's suitcase.

922
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,640
Tempting, but no.
You had one, it was great.

923
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,000
You put on a suit, it comes out,
you shake your head, comes out

924
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:25,120
with different suit, shake your
head, come out a crazy suit.

925
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,000
You sort of like thinking it for
a little bit and then eventually

926
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,280
shake your head though again and
then it comes out.

927
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,520
The 4th 1 is a good suit.
Kearns is pretending not to look

928
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,720
but, but is in fact very much
looking.

929
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:45,280
I'm going to say a thing here to
remind you guys, perhaps about a

930
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:50,560
clue that you didn't remember.
You do have Leticia de la Loses

931
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:55,360
apart that address.
Oh, yeah, Don't forget that.

932
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,480
Yeah, you got that after being
fired on.

933
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,960
Should that be where Kerns and
smalls go?

934
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,600
I would say yes, but.
It's a little early to go

935
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,720
clubbing.
It is a little early to go

936
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:11,000
clubbing.
And and we should all go

937
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,840
clubbing just because that scene
will be insane.

938
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,320
That's probably.
That's also probably a good

939
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:17,640
point.
You probably should all go

940
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,120
clubbing.
Don't worry.

941
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,480
Remember she got a lead on where
you could buy Nectar.

942
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:29,960
You should all go to that.
Oh no, no, I don't think JB

943
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:36,040
should go to that.
It's only difficulty 5 to resist

944
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,000
DID.
You guys start without no?

945
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,960
No, no, no, no.
This is just side chat.

946
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,920
Yeah, there was some discussion
about maybe before that

947
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,080
everybody should go clubbing
together and that maybe you 2

948
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,120
should go investigate the
apartment that you guys got the

949
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,840
address for while the other two
go to the police station.

950
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,160
And then maybe I'll go clubbing
together because that might be

951
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,000
more fun if everybody's together
for the club.

952
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:05,920
Yes.
Yeah, let's do that.

953
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,880
And Daniel wants to kill us all
as a group.

954
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,920
But.
Then nobody can feel singled

955
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,560
out.
No, we we all know that he has

956
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:16,640
it out for me.
So.

957
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,840
He might, but the dice clearly
don't today.

958
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,760
Yeah, yes.
Anyway.

959
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,680
No, it's the chair.
Shall we?

960
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:34,480
We shall.
OK, so me and Colin, we're going

961
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:38,000
to the police.
No, you had to.

962
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,320
Where?
Where would you go?

963
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:43,880
You know what?
It doesn't matter.

964
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,600
You go to the police station.
Forget.

965
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,280
I don't need to name every
historical place of the goddamn

966
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,480
but you.
Want to quitter?

967
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,800
Look into your heart, you know
it to be true.

968
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:08,560
OK, give me a second.
Well, there's look, there's

969
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,800
policy in Metropolitan.
You head to the Federal District

970
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:18,320
Police Department and you were
given the card of A A Jose

971
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,400
Blanco.
Jose Blanco, OK.

972
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,760
Josh the White.
I guess.

973
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,240
And you wander into the police
station.

974
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,080
It is a you know, it's a police
station.

975
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,640
You've been in them before.
It looks like a pretty standard

976
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,440
police station, except for they
speak Spanish here and not

977
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,880
English.
So I will be relying on you to

978
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:44,240
do most of the talking.
You also don't see a vice squad.

979
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,600
You don't see the telltale signs
of people trying to crack down

980
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,120
on prohibition.
They drink bloody over here and

981
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:53,200
it's.
All right, yeah, I'll try and

982
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,960
find the guy whose name is on
this card all.

983
00:55:55,640 --> 00:56:00,080
Right card.
You were directed back to Jose

984
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,680
Blanco's desk.
He's a young officer.

985
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:06,040
You notice that he has a small
scar near his jawline on his

986
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,680
left cheek.
And he says thank you for

987
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,320
coming.
I did want to talk to you about

988
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:18,040
the incident this afternoon, Mr.
It's Michael Love Shack.

989
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,240
This is my partner Gravy Boat
Jones, and we were actually

990
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:24,600
headed here later today anyway.
Gravy boat Jones, how do you do

991
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:30,680
when I shake his hand?
Yes, hello.

992
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:37,400
I'm, I'm sorry you were headed
here already.

993
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,680
Is there some sort of issue?
Yeah, we're a couple of Hoover's

994
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,480
boys, and from the sounds of it,
you might have someone in your

995
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,960
custody that we've been on the
lookout for.

996
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,320
We have several people in
custody.

997
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,200
I don't really know what you're
talking about.

998
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,640
What does this have something to
do with these birds?

999
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,800
No, it's actually just a happy
coincidence.

1000
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,880
Yes, unrelated incident.
Well, it's a coincidence.

1001
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,720
OK, we've had a very busy I'm
sorry week in Mexico City.

1002
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,280
Yes.
Well, first let me get a

1003
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,000
statement about the the birds.
You'd say what?

1004
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,680
What happened there?
Birds attacked us indeed.

1005
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,960
And you?
JB gives a brief if you explain

1006
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:28,800
mythos free explanation.
Yeah, and was there a particular

1007
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,160
reason why the birds attacked?
It truly defies all logic.

1008
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,200
I am not a bird expert, I'm
afraid.

1009
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,680
OK.
And what?

1010
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,440
And I'm sorry, you're looking
for who?

1011
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,360
A real dangerous character might
be using an alias.

1012
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,640
He was involved in a shooting
yesterday and his real name is

1013
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,000
Reg Killworth.
But not sure what he'd be going

1014
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,080
by around here.
What does?

1015
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,960
Reg Kill.
Real, real nasty sort.

1016
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,760
They've been looking for him in
LA.

1017
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,760
I feel like I heard that name
somewhere.

1018
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,320
OK, you know, there was a
shooting yesterday.

1019
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,880
But the guy, well, you're not
going to be able to be

1020
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,920
interviewing him.
He's down at the morgue these

1021
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,320
days.
What happened?

1022
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:18,560
Yeah, well might be worth a
shot.

1023
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:23,720
Jesus.
What happened to him?

1024
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,120
Well, he got into a shootout
with police officers.

1025
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,640
Yeah, that'd do it.
Detective Gomez is in charge of

1026
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,400
that case, Yes, you could talk
to him.

1027
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,360
Yeah, by all means.
Mind sending us his way?

1028
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:43,600
Yeah, and he brings you to a an
actual office that says

1029
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,560
Detective Javier Gomez office,
All right.

1030
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,840
And he sort of peeks his head
here and says, Detective Gomez,

1031
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:55,600
I have some gentlemen from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation

1032
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,640
from the United States.
They said they had some.

1033
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,560
They know something about the
shooting yesterday.

1034
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:04,960
And you see inside is Detective
Javier Gomez.

1035
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,240
He has a still sort of youngish
face, but it's slowly gaining

1036
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,440
sort of a granite edge, as it
were, as he gets older and more

1037
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,000
hard.
He's got slicked black hair,

1038
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,480
part of just a little off
center.

1039
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,560
And he's got, you know what?
He's got big hands.

1040
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,840
That'll be a thing about him.
I got big hands.

1041
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,920
And a thin mustache I.
Was going to say he sounds

1042
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,640
handsome.
And then you describe the big

1043
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,720
hands and I'm like, oh, I'm I
was almost a Yowie character.

1044
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,360
Oh no.
No mustache.

1045
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,240
No mustache.
I guess that comes later.

1046
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,040
And and the big ass sword at his
side, yeah.

1047
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:48,960
That also comes later.
Anyway, he says, yes, I we're

1048
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,280
always willing to collaborate
with our friends from up north.

1049
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:53,640
But come on.
Come on in, gentlemen.

1050
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,560
Thanks.
And he introduces himself.

1051
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,040
I'm Detective Javier Gomez.
You are.

1052
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,320
Michael love Jack.
Gravy Pope Jones, how do you do

1053
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:04,360
this this.
Is gravy Bo Jones?

1054
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,960
I greet you with, Oh, nice to
meet you, Mr. Jones.

1055
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,320
He speaks English.
Good.

1056
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,040
He has an accent, but he speaks.
English.

1057
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:20,800
OK, so he knows that these names
suck, but he's too polite to say

1058
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,960
anything.
Yes, you're sort of looking

1059
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,960
around.
Cop talk is let you get the vibe

1060
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,040
this guy is a junior detective
on the major Case Squad.

1061
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,960
So like, he's theoretically
working on the big crimes, but

1062
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,840
he doesn't get the good big
crimes as it were, and he gets a

1063
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:42,120
lot of weirdos in trouble.
Here there was a bit of a

1064
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:48,000
shootout yesterday.
Yes, there was a shootout, but

1065
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:53,800
we had reports of two strangers
breaking into somebody's house

1066
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:59,120
and then another person taking
the shots at them.

1067
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,400
At least that's what witnesses
reported.

1068
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,320
Police arrived on the scene.
The man fired back.

1069
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:06,800
The police tried to talk him
down.

1070
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,840
He didn't seem to speak Spanish
or really any language for that

1071
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,680
matter.
He just seemed to be yelling

1072
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,600
incoherently.
At least that's what my officers

1073
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,600
say.
He's dead now.

1074
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,320
We weren't able to determine his
background.

1075
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,040
Ethnicity is Hispanic or
Mexican.

1076
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,960
I don't know if they're using
the term Hispanic yet, that he's

1077
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,840
probably a local I guess, but.
I don't know, might not be our

1078
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:34,480
guy.
Then do.

1079
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,480
You know who he is.
Well I was thinking it could

1080
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,320
possibly be a Reg killer if he's
a crack shot.

1081
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,160
Real sick stuff.
Shoved some guys in a safe.

1082
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,080
Wanted in LA.
Oh.

1083
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,480
If you'd seen it, it'd be
haunting you.

1084
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,360
Nightmares.
I feel like I remember reading

1085
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:56,280
something about that, but I can
assure you this is not your Mr.

1086
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,440
Kilt.
At least I don't think so.

1087
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,840
You check him out down in the
morgue if you'd like.

1088
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,280
Not much to it.
There's some fairly obvious

1089
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,200
identifying marks we might want
to look for.

1090
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:14,320
Of course.
Is he involved in anything else?

1091
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,760
What what what brings you guys
down here?

1092
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:17,960
You're just looking for this
guy.

1093
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:23,200
Is is he involved in anything?
You could say that we'd like to

1094
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:24,360
confirm.
Oh, you know that.

1095
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:26,680
Go ahead, JB.
I was going to say.

1096
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:32,040
Not JB Gravy vote.
Oh my God, I was going to say,

1097
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,400
Because of the sensitive nature
of the cases involved, we'd like

1098
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:41,240
to check to make sure it's our
man before we inform you of the

1099
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,640
exact nature of his prior
offenses.

1100
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,080
Look, I understand that you have
jurisdiction where you come

1101
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:53,120
from, but this is my case.
I can't be sharing files or

1102
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,520
bodies about authorization or
jurisdiction.

1103
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:01,600
I think I will use some cop
talk, but I will also clue this

1104
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,160
guy into the light, light
mysteries.

1105
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,960
What's going on here?
Like there's there's a religious

1106
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:13,720
organization involved and
they're doing bad stuff.

1107
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,560
Like what sort of stuff are they
active down here in Mexico?

1108
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:20,960
Do you have it?
Do you know anything that

1109
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,960
they've gotten up to?
There's drug running involved,

1110
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,320
I'll tell you that.
Wait, drugs?

1111
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:32,160
Intimidation.
It's some new one.

1112
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,880
Kids call it nectar.
Ah, I've heard about this.

1113
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:38,880
We've been looking into this
Nectar stuff.

1114
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,680
It's, it's not actually illegal
because it's not like nobody

1115
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,040
really knows what it is, you
know?

1116
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,280
And because it's not legal,
there's only so much you can

1117
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:52,520
really do at this time.
I know some of the dealers, some

1118
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,800
of them have been working out of
a club at least occasionally.

1119
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,720
We've been checking it out.
But yeah, they've been up to

1120
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,040
something.
We had some evidence that they

1121
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,920
might have been involved in an
arson case that I was

1122
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,080
investigating.
The record store.

1123
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,240
Well, it was a record
manufacturing place.

1124
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,120
Yeah, there, yeah.
And if you remembered correctly,

1125
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,240
my name was listed in the
article that you read.

1126
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,000
Yeah, isn't that fun?
You know we don't remember that

1127
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,440
I.
Can speak out of character too.

1128
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,000
You know, we don't remember
that.

1129
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,400
Yeah, yeah, There's that record
place.

1130
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,440
There's another place, El Studio
del Manana.

1131
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,160
The proprietor is in fear for
his life.

1132
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,360
He's holed up in the place.
Wait a minute, wait a minute,

1133
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:39,680
that that business is owned by
the person who lives in the

1134
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,360
house where the shooting took
place.

1135
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,680
Absolutely, yes.
We'd actually spoken with him

1136
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,280
previously, just following up on
leads.

1137
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,000
They really put the fear of God
in the guy and told him not to

1138
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,400
talk to the police.
You and I both know that's the

1139
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:55,720
first thing you do when they say
that.

1140
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,360
OK.
Oh, wow.

1141
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,320
So who?
Who do you know who's in charge

1142
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:03,960
of the thing?
Is it this Killworth guy?

1143
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:04,960
It could.
Be.

1144
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:12,720
Oh no, no, just in my opinion
probably more of a small time

1145
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,840
goon within the organization
that if it's even the same guy.

1146
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,560
Well, thank you for sharing your
information here.

1147
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,760
I really do appreciate it.
I just, you have to know, I

1148
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:28,560
can't really give you
information about an ongoing

1149
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,240
investigation without, you know,
bureaucratic authorization.

1150
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,800
Oh, of course.
However, if we can take a look

1151
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,400
at the body, that would be well
closer anyway.

1152
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,800
That's part of it.
We'll be can't let you just.

1153
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,200
We will be in and out is.
There some sort of investigative

1154
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,080
skill you're going to use to to
fix.

1155
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,640
Me, I have reassurance, I
believe.

1156
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,600
I can fix him.
I do not have reassurance.

1157
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,720
Reassurance.
Why do I not have reassurance?

1158
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,480
The only interpersonal skill I
don't have is flattery.

1159
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,520
OK.
So you have reassurance.

1160
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,080
Yes.
OK.

1161
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,320
And cut up.
And bureaucracy.

1162
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,640
Oh, oh, you have bureaucracy,
huh?

1163
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,480
Yes.
You make a bureaucracy spend.

1164
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,400
He could.
He could probably help you out.

1165
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,000
Oh, am I filling out?
Paperwork.

1166
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:19,640
Sure.
Yeah.

1167
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,080
OK, Absolutely.
You're going to send it off to

1168
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,520
Washington, not Quantico.
It wasn't Quantico yet.

1169
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,000
People are going to be very
confused up there.

1170
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,560
Yeah, I think you are able to do
you sort of know the right forms

1171
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,200
to say to fill out and whatnot
to send an official request?

1172
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,600
And he says, well, if you're
sending in that request, I

1173
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:45,000
suppose you could read these
files and look at this

1174
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,880
information.
I can't give you any copies of.

1175
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,280
Oh, that's fine.
I have a phonographic memory.

1176
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,720
You know what he meant.
That's that's audio, Yeah, OK.

1177
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:00,160
Never mind.
So first he gives you the

1178
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:05,120
information he has about Jorge
Novo's death, which is the from

1179
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:09,960
Novo record production.
The fire was arson and we have

1180
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:14,040
evidence that a maroon 4 door
car pulled up around 10:33.

1181
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,320
Men got out with a gasoline can.
One of the men spoke Spanish

1182
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,120
with what sounded like a Russian
accent.

1183
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,960
Yeah, that'll be Kronelov, Yeah.
Kronelov, definitely who?

1184
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,800
Kronelov.
It's a name we heard.

1185
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,800
I figured some of this stuff
would be known to you already.

1186
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,880
No.
We can share notes when we're

1187
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,920
done here.
Yeah, well, no, we couldn't.

1188
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,640
We could find this Cronle off
guy.

1189
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,240
But yeah, I mean with the
information you gave us, you'd

1190
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,320
be like 6 to 8 hours.
We'd get a lot more info for

1191
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:42,800
you.
I don't know if we're going to

1192
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,200
be able to make any arrests
immediately, but we can.

1193
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,440
I mean, you tell us that this
stuff about the the record store

1194
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,920
and all that stuff, but as they
Cronle off like, I mean, I

1195
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,760
appreciate it.
We're definitely going to look

1196
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,280
into them.
Oh man, now everybody's going to

1197
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,760
know the secret that Colin is
actually a confident detective.

1198
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:07,240
Look, I don't mean to be rude.
Were you guys in a fight earlier

1199
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:08,880
today?
Oh, with some birds.

1200
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,720
Oh my God, are you the?
Yeah, you.

1201
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,280
Were in the bird.
That was us.

1202
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:18,399
Yep, Yep, that was us.
It's been a very busy couple of

1203
01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:21,520
days in Mexico City, so.
Is that you?

1204
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,560
Don't you don't think the birds
are related to this Kronolov

1205
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:26,840
guy, right?
Is he?

1206
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,560
Is he the mastermind this
Kronolov?

1207
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,880
Yeah, another goon I think.
We do know that he has ties to

1208
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,080
Oh God, what was the name of
the?

1209
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,200
Oh Brooks.
Jonathan Brooks.

1210
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:42,520
Jonathan Brooks, former head of
I guess former head in so far as

1211
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,800
it's not that he stopped, it's
that the blaze died.

1212
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:49,439
But and Jonathan Brooks, former
head of Loose Discos, we believe

1213
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,800
he is a significant part of
this.

1214
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:57,160
OK, this is really useful I.
Real quick assess honesty.

1215
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,479
Is this Is this guy being
genuine with us?

1216
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:04,439
Is he part of the conspiracy?
He is not OK.

1217
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,200
He does not appear to be part of
the conspiracy.

1218
01:09:06,319 --> 01:09:09,200
Because I realized we're sharing
a lot so.

1219
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,240
I figure if he was part of the
conspiracy, we'd be dead

1220
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:13,319
already.
Yeah.

1221
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,720
The leads that he give you, he
also mentions that you could get

1222
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,960
the drugs at a club called La
Paz.

1223
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,720
It's not always there, but it's
often down there and that he'll

1224
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,160
look into some more of this
stuff.

1225
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,960
And the fact that you're saying
that like, this is all connected

1226
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,880
to nectar, the birding was
related to the nectar traded,

1227
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,080
whatever.
He's like, OK, so now that if

1228
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,399
you're telling me that the drugs
are actually involved in killing

1229
01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:37,040
people, we get maybe a task
force to go.

1230
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,279
But there you go.
Careful.

1231
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,520
Yeah, lots, lots and lots of
killing, yeah.

1232
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,600
Seriously, be careful.
These people are powerful and

1233
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,880
these people are dangerous.
Step lightly here.

1234
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:51,800
These ones actually seem to be
some of the more incompetent

1235
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,600
ones we've dealt with, but we're
not really hot on their trail,

1236
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,080
so that may have changed.
Well, don't worry, we're the

1237
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,440
police.
I know you guys are are part of

1238
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:07,280
your the your big Bucky bucks up
there in the States, but we will

1239
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,480
do just fine down here.
If you ever need anything, give

1240
01:10:09,480 --> 01:10:12,720
me a call.
And please don't try to go after

1241
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,880
these people by yourself.
I can send an officer with you

1242
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,360
if you need protection if you're
ever in mortal danger.

1243
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,720
That would be much appreciated.
We're actually planning to take

1244
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,360
it fairly easy for the night
anyway.

1245
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,320
We're going to go out clubbing.
OK, you be careful out there.

1246
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,120
You too.
Well, it's, it's nice meeting

1247
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:35,040
you.
You know what?

1248
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:37,960
It's funny.
I never, I know this is sort of

1249
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,720
a crazy thing.
I never asked for your your ID.

1250
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,960
Oh yeah, we already gave it to
the guys up front.

1251
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:49,200
Oh, OK, OK.
And then we.

1252
01:10:49,440 --> 01:10:53,040
I mean, I just wanted to.
Sorry about the smell.

1253
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,920
What?
I thought which what?

1254
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,440
You took a shower, you grub.
And that was the very useful

1255
01:11:00,440 --> 01:11:03,840
conversation with the police,
Like, hey, you also.

1256
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,840
You quickly take a peek down in
the morgue.

1257
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,000
He looks like a dead thug who's
been shot.

1258
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,040
You don't see any mouths or
anything throwing on it, OK, or

1259
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:12,920
anything like that.
Any.

1260
01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:16,080
Any.
Tattoos mouths was definitely on

1261
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,920
the list.
Yeah, but tattoos or such?

1262
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,120
No all.
Right instructions for occult

1263
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,320
resuscitation.
No, I feel like those would be

1264
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,440
in his belongings and probably
would have been mentioned to us.

1265
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,600
Amateur move.
You always get him tattooed on

1266
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,600
your buddy.
Yeah, it seems like the police,

1267
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,840
or at least Detective Gomez
here, are like on the ball more

1268
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:44,440
or less around here in Mexico.
A startling and pleasant change

1269
01:11:44,440 --> 01:11:49,040
of pace for this campaign.
They're not incompetent or

1270
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,680
bought off.
Well, they, you know, they

1271
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,560
hadn't figured it all out, so
maybe they're a little.

1272
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:58,640
Yeah, and they and we did kind
of manage to literally just walk

1273
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,280
in.
Yes.

1274
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,120
Meanwhile, the other two were
back at the hotel.

1275
01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:07,520
Where are you guys go?
It's a little too early to go

1276
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:08,880
clubbing.
Is there anywhere you guys want

1277
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,360
to go investigate or you just
going to wait for the clubs?

1278
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,400
Think the option was Miss De la
Luz.

1279
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,880
So you do have, you do have your
apartment you got shot at trying

1280
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:20,280
to get that address.
So yeah.

1281
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:26,880
Yeah, she sounds delightful.
Yeah, maybe sending the person

1282
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,360
who was hypnotized by her
singing earlier to do this

1283
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,440
wasn't a great plan.
I'm.

1284
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,160
Sure, it's fine.
I'm sure it's fine.

1285
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,360
Of course.
You head across the city a

1286
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,240
little bit to De La Luz's
apartment.

1287
01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:43,840
It's La Cruz 29 apt 18.
You go to you see a rather

1288
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:47,240
modest 21 unit building.
It's a quaint aging walk up

1289
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:51,600
building with a quiet little
courtyard garden and a lot of

1290
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,680
like sort of seems like there's
a lot of older folks all.

1291
01:12:55,480 --> 01:12:55,840
Right.
Yeah.

1292
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,560
And you go up to the apartment
door and it is, of course, you

1293
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:05,520
know, locked.
You should maybe have brought

1294
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,200
some flowers or something like
like, we're fans.

1295
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,480
Well, preparedness, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, there is a garden,

1296
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:18,640
but.
Well, if I fail preparedness,

1297
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,360
I'm I'm a pluck some daisies or
something.

1298
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,560
Is it a roll or a spend?
You could.

1299
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,160
You could just have.
You're fine.

1300
01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:28,600
I'll let you.
Thank you.

1301
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:33,080
Do you knock on the door?
I mean, yeah, yeah.

1302
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:38,000
OK, nobody.
I like that the first thing you

1303
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,960
said is that it's obviously
locked, so that means that the

1304
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,840
impulse is to walk up the door
immediately, try it, and then

1305
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:47,640
knock.
Yeah, I know what you guys are

1306
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,960
like.
That's fair, yes.

1307
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,960
Yeah, yeah, nobody.
And a little.

1308
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:53,720
Hurt.
That's literally what happened

1309
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,320
when you broke into that guy's
place where he was sleeping on

1310
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,800
the couch, and then he went back
out and then you knocked.

1311
01:13:59,440 --> 01:14:02,560
Yeah.
It worked out great.

1312
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:03,600
We.
Did.

1313
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:08,440
Yeah, miraculously.
But if like any of that had

1314
01:14:08,440 --> 01:14:11,840
failed, you would have gotten
shot, Colin.

1315
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,120
Yeah, you win some, you lose
some.

1316
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,400
I put my ear to the door.
You don't hear any.

1317
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:22,640
At one point somebody comes up
and says, I'm sorry, are you

1318
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,440
looking for someone?
Yes, actually we are.

1319
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,920
We were wondering if Senora de
la Luz was at home.

1320
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,160
We are, can you say that we're
fans or that we're delivering

1321
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,640
flowers from fans?
Cuz like if we're fans, they,

1322
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,880
they can just like turn us away
immediately.

1323
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,520
What do you think?
Up to you I think.

1324
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,520
I'm pretty sure the outcome will
end up being similar regardless.

1325
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:51,640
But yeah it's your call.
You are the voice at the moment

1326
01:14:52,440 --> 01:14:57,040
cuz smalls can't speak Spanish.
OK, yes, actually we were

1327
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,160
wondering if Senora de la Luz
was at home.

1328
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:03,040
We've we've got some flowers
from a fan that we're

1329
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:04,720
delivering.
De la Luz.

1330
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,840
I'm a I'm a landlord that
doesn't belong to a De la Luz,

1331
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,400
that belongs to Rosario Maria
Lopez.

1332
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:16,040
Well, it belongs to me actually.
But rent it out to her.

1333
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:20,360
Her fiance paid for a year in
advance like 5-6 months ago.

1334
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,040
They got a few months left on
their lease.

1335
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,520
I used to get a lot of noise
complaints from there.

1336
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:30,000
I haven't had them.
Had them for a few weeks now but

1337
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,280
no I haven't seen them around.
OK, that was a lot of random

1338
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,120
info.
He just sat at me through the

1339
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,200
door.
Well, no, he doesn't say it

1340
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,160
through the door.
No, he, he saw you.

1341
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:40,920
There's the guy who's in.
The hall.

1342
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,400
OK, there's the guy in the hall.
Yeah, yeah.

1343
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,240
So yeah, no, they're not here.
Sorry about that.

1344
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,720
Have a good day.
Have any idea where they went?

1345
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:53,840
I don't know, her fiance paid
for it.

1346
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:58,360
Maybe she's with her fiance.
Landlord shrugs, goes back to go

1347
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,080
to another apartment that picks
up them.

1348
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,600
Break in, break in, break in,
break in.

1349
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,280
Before that, smalls.
I mean, you could, you could ask

1350
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,320
them something if you'd like,
but they, they've said all

1351
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,000
their, they don't even have a
name, their name landlord.

1352
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:17,440
So they're kind of done.
OK, but what are you doing

1353
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:20,440
smalls?
Well, I was just gonna mention

1354
01:16:20,440 --> 01:16:24,840
to Kearns, maybe it might be a
good idea to get the fiance's

1355
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,240
address if possible.
I'm sorry Sir, do you happen to

1356
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,600
remember the fiance's name?
Brooks.

1357
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,080
Brooks.
Of course, American guy.

1358
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:35,160
All right.
Well, thank you very much, Sir.

1359
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,120
Have a great day.
Yeah, OK.

1360
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:42,280
The guy's gone now though.
I don't have any locksmithing or

1361
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:43,680
anything.
Yeah, neither do I.

1362
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,480
Yeah.
So the only way I could do that

1363
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:48,600
is brute force, but we probably
don't want that.

1364
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,360
I mean, you can break it open.
It's not a great lock, but

1365
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:53,320
that's easy enough to.
Break.

1366
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,040
Yeah.
It's going to be noisy though.

1367
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,920
Which floor is it on?
This is on the third story.

1368
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,280
Perfect.
I mean, there's fire escapes,

1369
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,600
right?
Yeah, if you'd like, you could

1370
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,240
try to make a stealth roll when
you're breaking down the door to

1371
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,160
not get noticed.
I mean, they'll notice if they

1372
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,920
come by the door to see that
it's broken, but you know.

1373
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,880
They are less likely to notice a
broken window, I think.

1374
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,520
This is true.
If it's especially, it's on the

1375
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,600
third story.
Are you going to try to climb up

1376
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,480
then?
Nor is Smalls going to try to

1377
01:17:22,480 --> 01:17:25,440
climb up Mr. I'm really good at
athletics, just not good at

1378
01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:27,480
fighting.
What do you think?

1379
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:32,160
I mean I have no stealth so.
Yeah, I have a little bit of

1380
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,000
stealth, but from what I
understand, we both have

1381
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,960
athletics out of the wazoo, so.
Difficulty 2 Stealth Difficulty

1382
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,920
3 Athletics to get up there.
One of you could do it and let

1383
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:44,960
the other one in, or you know.
You know what?

1384
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:48,200
I'll just do the athletic spend
soil spend 2 for athletics.

1385
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,840
OK, then I'll need you to also
make a stealth roll.

1386
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:56,200
OK, so that'll just be a 5050.
Oh, difficulty 2, so a little

1387
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,080
better.
All right, I rolled A2.

1388
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,160
Yeah.
The bare minimum.

1389
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,480
Yeah, a lot of old people here
are not really paying attention.

1390
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:08,520
You're able to break it to the
apartment.

1391
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,360
Smalls opens up the door from
the inside.

1392
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,400
And as you were walking through
the apartment, you could tell

1393
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,800
that this place has been dug
through.

1394
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:20,560
Drawers are empty.
A picture is missing from an

1395
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,920
array of family photos hung on
the wall.

1396
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:28,000
The bedroom closets contents are
spread across the floor near a

1397
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,680
pile of empty hangers.
This place has been, well,

1398
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,720
somebody's been going through
the stuff here, maybe.

1399
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,120
It's definitely all spread out
all over the place.

1400
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:41,600
What does my crime scene
profiling ability tell me?

1401
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:47,600
Christ, I always forget that you
can do this and it specifically

1402
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:51,400
says remind your GM about it.
This is the aftermath of a

1403
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:54,680
hurried packing session, not a
robbery or a search.

1404
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,680
OK all.
Right, yeah, and I let Kerns in

1405
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:03,160
and inform Kerns that it looks
like Miss De la Luz was packing

1406
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,320
to leave in a hurry.
Yeah, sounds about right by the

1407
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,640
looks of it.
The only real sign of actual

1408
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,640
damage that you notice are
photographs.

1409
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,680
Two photos hang on the wall and
they've been smashed and gouged

1410
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,440
right through the glass.
Direct.

1411
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:20,600
Where's?
Where's?

1412
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:21,960
What?
Like a knife.

1413
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,760
OK.
In both cases, the subject is a

1414
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:29,520
young Latino woman.
I bet she doesn't look like that

1415
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,280
anymore.
I bet you're right, yeah.

1416
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:34,720
No, probably not.
Think I'm going to take the

1417
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,000
pictures?
OK, here, I'll show you one of

1418
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,400
them.
Please tell.

1419
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,760
Now you're going to look at this
and you can say, oh, she's got a

1420
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,840
fucked up face.
That is where the knife is

1421
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,320
gouging in.
But let me let me post this

1422
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:49,720
right here in the front of the
line side.

1423
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,960
Spooky.
All righty.

1424
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,040
That's where the mouth grew.
What?

1425
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:58,560
Are you talking about who said
there's anything about a mouth

1426
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,320
growing there?
Outside of that immediate thing,

1427
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,600
Are there any skills you want to
use as you're looking away?

1428
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:07,040
I have nothing.
Do either of you have evidence

1429
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:08,400
collection?
Forensic.

1430
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,200
Yeah, no, my character is geared
towards dealing with people.

1431
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:15,160
I have neither evidence
collection nor forensics.

1432
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,760
We sent the The Alienist and the
Muscle to investigate a crime

1433
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,080
scene.
Well, see.

1434
01:20:21,480 --> 01:20:23,800
We're we're both.
Designed for dealing with

1435
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,960
people, just in different ways.
Yes, I also have.

1436
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:32,480
I have a lot of sense trouble.
Can I use that somehow?

1437
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:37,040
No, you do find a couple of
things that you don't need to

1438
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:40,160
have skills for, but if there's
anything else that you would

1439
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,160
have find with your skills, they
are not there.

1440
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:47,560
But it's always a dump to find
usually the most important, a

1441
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,680
flyer that says Leticia de la
Luz called Javier Luna.

1442
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,040
And it seems to be for a club
called La Paz.

1443
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,360
It seems to be where they're
performing.

1444
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,640
It's for an older performance,
actually, about a year ago.

1445
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,440
OK.
You also find a love poem that

1446
01:21:04,440 --> 01:21:06,920
was delivered to her on the
bedside.

1447
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,320
From who?
Oh, that's a good point.

1448
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:15,240
It's actually in an envelope and
I actually uploaded it into the

1449
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,320
Eternal Lives chat here.
You could read the love poem.

1450
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,120
You could also look at the love
poem envelope with either one of

1451
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:25,000
you like that.
My beautiful Rosario, your lips

1452
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:29,000
are gateway opening on ecstasy
to heaven.

1453
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,840
I visit breathless lately.
Your teeth are the towering

1454
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:37,600
stalactites whose rigid touch
feeds my endless appetite.

1455
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:43,360
Your face turns from me now,
your name lost as you turn your

1456
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:48,280
brow, but your new name is
graced with light like stars

1457
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:52,000
lightly tossed across the night.
If only one wish I might be

1458
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,600
granted as my Mystic rights are
loudly chanted.

1459
01:21:56,200 --> 01:22:01,000
It would be that your mouth
might multiply so that I might

1460
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,000
kiss them all as an endless
lullaby.

1461
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,600
Signed JB.
And the envelope has an address

1462
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,840
on.
It yeah, you have JB's address.

1463
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:22,750
We have J BS address.

1469
01:22:38,190 --> 01:22:40,710
song used for the Mythos record.
This episode is one I've been

1470
01:22:40,710 --> 01:22:42,910

1478
