Please check the episode

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:18,040
warnings.
Last time on Eternal Lies, our

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,280
investigators were attacked by a
swarm of monstrous mythos

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,840
afflicted birds taking cover in
a restaurant.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,280
Our heroes fought off the
murderous plague, with

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,840
everything they had succeeding
and surviving.

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,400
After dispersing the grackles,
they returned to their hotel and

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,760
listened to the repaired record,
which hypnotised Kearns to

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,480
seemingly no effect.
The party then splits with JB

12
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:42,520
and Colin going to the police
disguised as FBI agents with

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,600
stupid names.
There they made a contact with a

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,600
Detective Gomez, gaining
information and an ally.

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,800
Meanwhile, Kearns and Smalls
made their way to the home of

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,400
Letitia de la Luz, but find it
abandoned with a love poem that

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,480
points them in the direction of
their target.

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,200
The die is cast, the pact is
sealed, and May God have mercy

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760
on our souls.
It's Daniel strip tales.

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:21,000
We
gonna.

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Go.
To the cult leader's house.

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,720
He has what I say.
Do we really need to go clubbing

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,560
now?
Because we.

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,280
Have a good idea of where she
is?

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,160
We do, and I'm assuming we're
all meeting up to like talk

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,800
about this before taking any
drastic action.

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Yeah, yeah.
It'd be a good idea to, you

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,160
know, communicate everything
that happened.

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,680
You know, we infiltrated a
police station, but it went

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,640
great, shockingly.
Yeah, it was really good.

31
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,160
The police are are friendly.
They're on your side.

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,480
They said they're going to get
you more information tomorrow.

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040
But you know, you seem to have
some information right now.

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,199
Yeah, we got the information we
needed.

35
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,480
I don't.
Probably by tomorrow they'll

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,160
have figured out that we weren't
actual FBI.

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,400
So.
That quick They didn't have the

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Internet, Nathan.
Yeah, but they sent up like

39
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,000
documents to be reviewed.
Through the mail.

40
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Yeah, it would take at least a.
That is true, yeah.

41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,600
We'd be able to milk this for a
bit longer.

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,400
In fact, you might be able to
get like some.

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,200
You might be able to get some
like police backup.

44
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,520
If you could figure out where
like the true Colt headquarters

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,160
is, you might be able to get
some police backup.

46
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Yeah, that would be.
Probably the most that's come up

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,200
a couple Times Now.
OK, so you guys get back from

48
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,760
investigating the apartment and
police station respectively.

49
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,200
What's your plans now?
Betting.

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Colin, I think the club may no
longer be needed as far as

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,240
gathering evidence at this
stage.

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:11,120
We found this poem in Taylor
Luz's apartment.

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,040
We also found these pictures and
I and I produced the extremely

54
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,560
fucked up visage of.
Though again, we don't know that

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,840
that's just the damaged picture.
It's got a mouth in the middle.

56
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,760
We know that.
Yeah.

57
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Like out out of universe.
We.

58
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,080
All we all done.
Fuck, we all fucking know that.

59
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,600
That is fair.
Though.

60
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Yeah.
Don't we though?

61
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,160
There's teeth halfway up her
nose.

62
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,080
I mean, even in universe, even
in universe it's a decent guess

63
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,080
at this point.
Like like to bring it all

64
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,480
together.
Cortez mentioned that she covers

65
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,280
herself with a veil and
sunglasses and hides a whole

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,560
bunch, and now we see this.
Yeah, and some motherfuckers

67
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,400
decided to listen to her
singing.

68
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Oh no, the woman, the woman's
Got Talent.

69
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,920
That's that's unquestionable.
Don't be mouth racist JB.

70
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Mouthist.
Our quest is just to but.

71
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,640
I think can I do this and like
let me know if you're not

72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,640
comfortable.
I think I'm going to like gently

73
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080
touch your hand when I see
you're getting flustered.

74
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,480
Yeah, that's fine.
Touch your hand, draw your

75
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,880
attention and like make the
gesture like breathe, breathe

76
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,680
and breathe out.
I'm good.

77
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,280
I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good.

78
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,200
Good.
I'm fine.

79
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200
Good, good.
Why are you waving your hand

80
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,440
around like that?
Showing up.

81
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,760
You know, JB wasn't supposed to
have an anxiety disorder.

82
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,480
I have an anxiety disorder.
JB just got it.

83
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,720
That just happened on accident.
I mean, I have a mental illness.

84
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,600
Tell me.
Tell me that my characters are

85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,000
perfectly sane.
Fair enough.

86
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,360
There you go.
So again, you could go to this

87
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,080
club, La Paz, which you heard
about, or you could go to this

88
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,320
penthouse suite that Brooks
lives in.

89
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Yeah.
The the club is still on the

90
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,560
table if this terms up nothing
but the house is a more direct

91
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,520
option.
Should this be La Paz?

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,000
The street children told us of
the Mint.

93
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,120
Yeah, I, I.
Oh, the street children, said a

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,120
different one.
Yeah, there was a gorilla Fiesta

95
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
at the Mint.
At the Mint, Yeah, that is what

96
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,560
they said.
So you.

97
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,680
Stop making mouth noises.
No, truly, I do not think I can.

98
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,720
Regular talking is a mouth
noise.

99
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Yeah, so you could go to Brooks
Penthouse or you could go to the

100
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,480
Mint, which is the place you
heard they were giving out

101
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,240
drugs.
I suggest that we go clubbing

102
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,920
after we have dealt with Mr.
Brooks and Miss De la Luz to

103
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,600
celebrate.
But if I die, you guys have to

104
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,240
still go have fun.
Oh, OK.

105
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,320
Sure, that goes without saying.
If you're all right in.

106
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,360
Then I'm in if.
It's what Colin would have

107
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,400
wanted.
As he just told us, we we don't

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,800
have to pass tense it.
He's not dead yet.

109
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,160
Sometimes I think that I can
still hear his voice.

110
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,560
You know, with a bit of
rounding, none of us existed at

111
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,280
all.
OK.

112
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:42,520
OK.
You head to 64 Rio Tigris you

113
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,520
realize is actually relatively
close to where that PO Box was.

114
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,960
The building is A10 story
building of red brick

115
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,440
construction, though the first
two stories are painted a yellow

116
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,360
white.
Brooks's penthouse is on the top

117
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,160
floor.
Perfect, now in my dungeneers

118
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,000
kit I have 10 pittons.
What?

119
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,720
And 50 foot of hemp and rope.
Oh, you have the climbing

120
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,800
thingies.
OK, No, I was thinking we could

121
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,760
just go through the building.
That works too.

122
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,240
It's a crazy idea, but it might
just work.

123
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,720
I mean, you do see there is a
fire escape on the outside, but

124
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,680
you know.
Noted.

125
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,160
You go in the front door.
This is a much nicer apartment

126
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,960
building than the one that you
were in before.

127
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,680
Most notably, there is a
concierge sitting at a front

128
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,240
desk.
He has a name tag that says

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Oscar on it.
Knowing that we're going to a

130
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,000
place that should have Jonathan
Brooks and possibly De la Luz, I

131
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,680
might call in that favor with
the police.

132
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600
Of course, if we're wrong then
we're going to look like

133
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,880
assholes, but I guess we always
look like assholes, so it's

134
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,080
fine.
Oh, I'm not.

135
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,760
I'm not thinking call in the
troops or anything.

136
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,640
I'm just taking a couple guys to
watch the doors.

137
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Fair enough.
Yeah.

138
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,040
Might be handy.
OK, Before you go inside, you go

139
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,600
to a phone booth and give the
officer a call.

140
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720
Sure.
You call up Detective Detective

141
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Gomez.
Yeah, unless the police station

142
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
was on the way, in which case
I'll go and chat to him for a

143
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,680
while.
I think you probably got to give

144
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,200
him a.
Call OK ring, ring.

145
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Hola.
Detective Gomez There's been a

146
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,920
bit of movement on that case
involving the Nectar cult.

147
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Yes.
Did you find something that

148
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,720
you'd be willing to share with
us?

149
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,919
I have my own men conducting an
investigation at this point.

150
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:34,919
They've been shaking down some
of the dealers.

151
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:39,480
Well, some of mine are going to
be looking into Mr. Brooks

152
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,919
residence.
I suppose we were wondering if

153
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,919
you might want to.
The man you believe is the

154
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,720
leader of the cult.
Leader.

155
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,520
Leader.
Adjacent, Higher up anyway.

156
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Excellent.
Do you need backup?

157
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,280
We were wondering if you might
want to watch the doors for us.

158
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,720
I'll send Officer Blanca.
The the green guy with the

159
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,000
electrical powers.
What?

160
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,160
Blanca, Josh The White.
Yeah, Josh, the White, as it was

161
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,920
established earlier, no Blanco.
He had a small, oh, jawline.

162
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,880
We would establish that this is
what defining feature We'll send

163
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,080
him over.
He'll be there in about 20

164
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,720
minutes or so.
Sounds great.

165
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,200
Do you wait for Detective Blanco
to arrive or you go?

166
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,120
In I'm waiting for Mr. Gomez to
say goodbye.

167
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Good luck, goodbye.
You too.

168
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Goodbye.
Click.

169
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,120
What's the Spanish for?
Good luck.

170
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,240
Goodo lucko fuck.
Off it's not that.

171
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,080
What a sweat day.
Or okay muchas sweat day.

172
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000
There you go.
It doesn't sound as dramatic as

173
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,600
I pictured.
Anyway, continue.

174
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:50,200
As you go into the front door of
the 64 Rio Tigris building, the

175
00:09:51,120 --> 00:10:01,280
concierge says hello in a very
obsequious Spanish hello.

176
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,720
How can I help?
You remind me, please, what

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,000
obsequious means.
I'm not sure I've ever actually

178
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,360
known.
Obsequious.

179
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Yeah, that's like overly formal.
Oh OK obedient or attentive to

180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,240
an excessive or servile degree.
Google disagrees with you those.

181
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,120
Are close enough.
You're right, obsequious does

182
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,680
mean that he is being a servant,
but in this case he's following

183
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,680
all the rules for being a
servant.

184
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,560
OK, and this is out of
character.

185
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:35,080
I cannot bribe this one.
I already spent enough of Miss

186
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Roger's money, so somebody else
has to take it.

187
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Would Cop Talk be the one to
insist that we're here on law

188
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,200
enforcement business?
Cop talk is talking to other

189
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,360
cops.
All right, so the thing I am

190
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,440
doing is reassurance.
Depends on how you're telling

191
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,680
him you're from the police like.
Well, I'm I'm also comboing up

192
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,520
with preparedness and flashing
of edge very, very quickly.

193
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,880
It was cheap.
Oh, can I use you to make it

194
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,080
better?
Hang on, can I use Craft to make

195
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,560
the badge better?
Are we flashing back to that you

196
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,960
crafted them a badge?
Yeah, OK.

197
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,520
OK.
I you know what, I'll let you

198
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,640
have done that.
Normally that would be something

199
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
you don't spend the point on,
but because you are doing it

200
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,360
retroactively, I need you to
spend the craft point.

201
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400
All righty, I shall spend my one
point of craft.

202
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Oh, I have two points in craft.
Never mind then, who else wants

203
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,240
a badge?
No, that's not the worst idea.

204
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,560
We only need the one at the
moment.

205
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,360
Gravy boat Jones should have one
I.

206
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Forgot a bug?
Gravy boat Jones.

207
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,000
Yeah, that is the name that you
gave me and I I just went with

208
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,520
it.
Nah, I think I'll I'll save the

209
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,560
craft point for something else.
Oh OK so I have a less cheap

210
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,520
looking badge, should I still
roll?

211
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,560
I need you to make a
preparedness roll because we're

212
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,160
combining both of these
together, A difficulty 3

213
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,880
preparedness.
All right, that is A5.

214
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,080
You have a pretty good badge.
Michael Love Shack, we're here

215
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,920
on law enforcement business.
Got somebody to check out in the

216
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,160
Pentos and I'd love if you
didn't warn them first.

217
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Shadiest way you could possibly
say that, but.

218
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,360
Sorry.
You did succeed so.

219
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:37,560
But I will require a signed
warrant before I can let any law

220
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:39,920
enforcement officers into the
building.

221
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Up there goes my second point of
craft.

222
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,720
Well, I think Detective Gomez
will have one for you in a

223
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,200
couple minutes here.
Alternatively, I could use my

224
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,920
other point of craft.
For Blanco.

225
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,960
Blanco does arrive shortly after
this.

226
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,120
He comes in and says, OK, I'm
here.

227
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,240
What is what?
What do we need?

228
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,400
A warrant, apparently.
Oh, well, like we need to get a

229
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,920
judge for a warrant.
Surely you know how that works.

230
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,480
Oh.
My God.

231
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,280
This could be life or death.
Blanca, we need this done quick.

232
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Maybe you and this guy can go
sort out the warrant.

233
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,680
And no, that's not going to
work.

234
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,600
Isn't.
I'm sorry, I cannot let anyone

235
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:29,720
in from the police if I mean I
could give a call and see if the

236
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,080
occupant is willing to accept
guests at the moment.

237
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,840
You don't really get how a sting
works, do you?

238
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,400
You don't really get how
warrants work do.

239
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,840
You OK, new plan?
Do I have to spend a whole

240
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,000
credit rating to bribe this guy?
I can, I will if need be be a

241
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,480
fast way through this.
You could offer him a bribe.

242
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,080
The way you said it kind of
suggests that he's not going to

243
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,640
take it, yeah.
Yeah, I don't.

244
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Offer anything, Dan?
Is the concierge alone?

245
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,720
No, he's got at least one police
officer there.

246
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,480
Yeah.
So we can't, you know, you know.

247
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,280
Felice traditionally huge fans
of bribing people.

248
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,640
I don't think violence is
necessarily the answer.

249
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000
No, we could just walk in there.
What's the concierge going to

250
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,760
do, call the police?
Yes.

251
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,240
They're already there.
I mean, yeah, like the cops know

252
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840
we're here.
Yeah, foreign law enforcement

253
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,600
are breaking into the sovereign
Mexican citizens home.

254
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,200
Will Blanco be forced to arrest
us or something?

255
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Like he's here to help us.
He is here to help you.

256
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,440
He is getting increasingly upset
about you guys doing like this

257
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200
warrantless shit.
OK, here's what I'm going to do.

258
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,760
I'm just going to go, OK, so
you're Blanco, I believe you can

259
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,880
handle this man.
And I'm just going to start

260
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,480
fucking walking towards the
elevator looking as purposeful

261
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,840
as like I'm I'm supposed to be
here.

262
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,000
This is all on the up and up.
I know what I'm doing type of

263
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,640
shit.
The elevator requires an

264
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,320
operator's key.
Motherfucker, I.

265
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,720
Was going to say, don't they
need a?

266
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Don't elevators that old need a
crank?

267
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Yeah.
Well, it's not a crank, but you

268
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,800
need like an operator.
It's not a crank, but it's like

269
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,960
a yeah.
Sometimes they're levers or

270
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,240
like.
Stairs it is.

271
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,720
Some yeah, I mean yeah.
Is the key needed to get into

272
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
the elevator in the 1st place or
just to work it from?

273
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,880
The no, they're needed.
The old elevators, they're

274
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,280
needed to operate them.
No, no, there's.

275
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,960
One why I'm asking that
question?

276
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,480
You could go into the elevator,
but you would need the key to go

277
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,600
to the whatever floor you need
to go to.

278
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,960
Kearns is taking the stairs
already.

279
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,400
Shit, I I you can't use
locksmith with one hand, can

280
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,560
you?
I have twice already.

281
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560
'Cause I was about to say
there's somebody in the group

282
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,840
that has locksmith.
Sir, I will have to ask you to

283
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,120
get down from those stairs or
I'll call the police.

284
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,920
You hear it now, right?
Oh, this is horrible.

285
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Oh God.
And he looks over at Junior

286
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,640
Officer Blanco.
It says, what are we?

287
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:22,000
This is unacceptable.
Blanco is looking confused and

288
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,200
he shouts at birds.
Sir, please hold on.

289
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,360
I don't think he's listening.
I guess you better go after.

290
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,360
Him guys, are we coming or no?
Yeah, I'm following along.

291
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,240
I think it's our only option at
this point.

292
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,880
So yeah, let's just go.
Yeah, as I'm walking, I'm, yeah,

293
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,520
I'm talking my shotgun.
Oh my God.

294
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,120
I reassure the concierge that
we'll catch up with him and

295
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,280
bring him back down when he
comes to.

296
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,160
There we go.
There we go.

297
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:56,160
That's yeah.
Do you say anything to Blanco

298
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,000
before you rush off?
Oh, I thought Blanco was chasing

299
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,720
after currents too.
No, I just told him to handle

300
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,119
the concierge.
Blanco was not chasing after

301
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,240
Currents, he was telling
Currents to hold on.

302
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,560
He looks over at you.
Inspector, Whatever the fuck

303
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,720
your name is, whatever made-up
name is.

304
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:15,440
Michael Love Shack.
And gravy.

305
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,599
Bill Jones.
Mr. Love Shack, please control

306
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,640
your associates.
I don't he's looking like assess

307
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:30,600
honesty like this guy.
This guy wants to prove himself.

308
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,040
He wants to draw his gun and
give chase to the bad guys.

309
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,560
It seems like your
conversational skills have not

310
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,520
worked on the concierge, but
they might work on officer.

311
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Blanco here.
I've got flattery.

312
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:48,440
I might try to take this from a
perspective of does he speak

313
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,400
English?
OK, question.

314
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,120
Yeah, he speaks.
He speaks of English, that's

315
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,960
why.
That's why they sent Blanco with

316
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
you, because he spoke English.
No, there you.

317
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:58,960
Go.
OK.

318
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,680
I just let him know that, yeah,
you are clearly a good cop and a

319
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,200
skilled officer who wants to do
some good in the world.

320
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,520
I promise you, we are doing good
in the world.

321
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,720
And you, a skilled officer, can
help us.

322
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,800
Just what do we need him to do?
Again, out of character.

323
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,400
Concierge busy.
Yes, they need you.

324
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,400
They don't slip out.
To keep the concierge busy and

325
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,400
if somebody comes down here
running, you know, stop them for

326
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,400
us.
Call Gomez, see if he can get a

327
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,160
backdated warrant for us.
I guess it's.

328
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,960
Not.
I'll see what I can do.

329
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,400
Well, you could make up shit,
Yeah.

330
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,000
He now turns back to the
concierge and says, all right,

331
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040
let's see those hands as he gets
out of his cock.

332
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,760
We weren't the first to draw a.
Weapon I.

333
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,480
Mean they're cuffs.
Honestly, they're not.

334
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,880
I'm proud of us.
That's what you get for

335
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,240
instructing.
To spend a point of flattery to

336
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,920
get that level of result.
Done.

337
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,120
OK, Happily.
All right.

338
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,280
By the way, I think somebody
should get those keys for the

339
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,720
elevator because like I'm
covering the stairs.

340
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Right.
Somebody should get the

341
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,720
elevator.
OK, two people take the stairs,

342
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,960
two people take the elevator.
Let's see how this goes.

343
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,320
Yeah, I'm going to swipe the
elevator key and.

344
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,040
The concierge is just saying
this is completely unacceptable.

345
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,400
You're This is a violation of my
rights.

346
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,600
Oh, shove it up your ass.
We're Americans.

347
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,400
Welcome to the land of police
brutality, motherfucker.

348
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,320
I don't feel good about this at
all, guys.

349
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,240
No, no.
You guys are real fucking

350
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,720
heroes.
Yay, now we just need to find

351
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,840
some oil.
You make your way up, both in

352
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,920
the elevator and on the stairs
to Brooks's penthouse.

353
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Who's who's on the stairs with
me?

354
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,240
I will go with Kearns, OK,
because we do not have a key to

355
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600
what's his face apartment.
No.

356
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,720
Fair enough.
Wouldn't it?

357
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,680
Yeah.
So then me and Smalls take the

358
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,560
elevator up.
At about track.

359
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,360
You beat the two of them up at
our way to get the front door

360
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:20,480
for a little bit.
There is only a small little

361
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,600
landing that the stairs go up to
and the elevator opens up to,

362
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,920
and that there is the door to
the penthouse apartment or suite

363
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
or however you want to say it.
I guess you would just say

364
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,920
Penthouse.
Yeah, Ben, I assumed the

365
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,280
elevator would open into it.
You know what it does?

366
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,080
Open into it, Yeah.
Where do the stairs fucking go?

367
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,840
Yeah, I figured it would be two
entries.

368
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,280
That's why I wanted to go help
Kerns.

369
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,480
The stairs go to the door, Yeah.
Yeah, makes sense to me.

370
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240
If the elevator is an
operational or if there's an

371
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,240
earthquake.
Yeah, you're right.

372
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,640
There should be, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I of course the

373
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600
elevator would open up to it.
So yeah, the elevator opens up

374
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,480
into the penthouse and you also
go up to the door.

375
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,920
It's not really the main way
people come in because most

376
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,760
people come in through the
elevator, but yeah.

377
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,720
I've been taking this the stairs
three steps at a time and I'm

378
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,760
not even breaking a sweat.
I am absolutely breaking a

379
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:16,800
sweat.
Yeah.

380
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,480
Looking good there, Mr. Cain.
Curtain looks cool as a cucumber

381
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,400
and Colin is like doubled over
and trying not to throw up.

382
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,840
Curs looks cool as a cucumber,
Colin looks wet as a pickle.

383
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,000
All.
Right.

384
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,200
OK, OK, I I maybe have a little
like very cinematic bead of

385
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,560
sweat running down my chiseled
jawline.

386
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,360
The elevator opens up into
Brooks's penthouse.

387
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:49,520
It's very well appointed.
The first room you see is a

388
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,240
spacious living room.
There's a pair of sofas, sort of

389
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,280
cabinet, radio and a high end
record player cabinet.

390
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,200
You also see as you're stepping
out, a envelope slid under the

391
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,000
door.
And nobody in the room, I'm

392
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,520
assuming.
Nobody in the room.

393
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,280
You see a hallway going a little
bit deeper and a door off to the

394
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,440
side, but no, people are here.
You don't hear the sounds of

395
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,520
anybody moving around or
anything in this penthouse.

396
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,280
I.
Think we should probably wait

397
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,960
for the other day before we go
too far in.

398
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,720
I know, yeah.
I'm not one for firearm myself.

399
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:35,040
They get up to the door after a
little bit.

400
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,080
Before opening the door though,
I'm going to grab the letter

401
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,360
that was slid under the door and
take a look at it.

402
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,720
All right, it is a letter in an
unmarked envelope.

403
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,680
All the best envelopes are
unmarked.

404
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,960
There's just a red seal with ATM
on it.

405
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,680
It says the test started when we
entered the room.

406
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,160
What is this?
Somebody's been watching too

407
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,040
much Taskmaster.
OK, I'm American.

408
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,760
I don't watch that show.
You're lost.

409
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,160
To be fair, it is fun to binge.
Yeah, no, I know Jason Bunzukas

410
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,040
was on it recently.
I I just maybe don't jive with

411
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,400
the British sense of humor.
Cancel me if that is, you know,

412
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,960
people like that sort of stuff.
I hate women.

413
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,520
I hate British people.
You know, I hate all these

414
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:28,160
people.
So this handout that we're

415
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,680
looking for.
Yeah.

416
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,400
I was wondering.
Yeah, one of you should read it.

417
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,880
Yeah.
We've confirmed that Victor

418
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Cortez has gone to ground at
Estudio del Manana.

419
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,920
He's holed up in there 24/7 and
it looks like he's keeping the

420
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,640
door shut and only letting in
familiar faces.

421
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,840
Have not seen him make contact
with any out of towners.

422
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480
Do you want us to rough him up
or leave him alone?

423
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,840
No sign of any other
interlopers.

424
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,280
The mole rat is keeping to his
rounds just as agreed, and it's

425
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,480
signed D just the letter.
Do we know any DS?

426
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,840
It was right there anyway.
God damn it, I was just about to

427
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,920
say Deez Nuts.
Me and you, Nathan.

428
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,120
We shouldn't be proud of this,
Dan.

429
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,560
We shouldn't be proud of this.
When I was talking to Detective

430
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,240
Gomez there, I specifically
mentioned Mr. Cortez was

431
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,200
terrified and holed up in his
studio.

432
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,080
Would he have perhaps been taken
into protective custody?

433
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,680
He said he was going to
investigate everything that you

434
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,240
said so.
All right.

435
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Hopefully.
Yeah, but so he might be doing a

436
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,440
radar.
Yesterday.

437
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,400
Yeah.
So we don't know at the moment.

438
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,720
Yeah, you don't know the other
two get up to the door, you hear

439
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,160
the baby futzing with the handle
a little bit while you the

440
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,520
people on the stairs are maybe
try to pick the lock and you 2

441
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,400
hear that.
I wait for a moment and then

442
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,880
unlock it and let them in.
We fall cartoonishly on top of

443
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,680
each other.
Well, we hope nobody else is

444
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,280
here.
That I guess.

445
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,680
Mm hmm.
Speaking of.

446
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,280
Cullen blushes, his hand fell on
Kern's breast.

447
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Vodka breast.
Oh, you pervert?

448
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,040
No, sure we do.
I love you.

449
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,040
The fact that did you actually
make a slapping noise that

450
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,480
picked up on your mic?
Because I swear I heard it.

451
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,680
Yes, I facepalm that audibly.
It sounded like it came from

452
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,800
miming somebody slapping
somebody, as happens in those

453
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,480
scenes.
I promptly push Colin off of

454
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,160
myself and get up.
So we found this letter and I

455
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:58,520
pass it to the other two and we
haven't looked too far into the

456
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,720
place we were waiting for you 2
to get here.

457
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,840
Well, I guess let's get started
all.

458
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,760
Right, I guess as the tank I'm
going to tank.

459
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:12,080
As the detective I will detect.
So a general question, does the

460
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,160
room look like, is it neat?
Does it look like somebody left

461
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,720
in a hurry?
Is it like what's the what's the

462
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,200
general state of the place this?
Place does not look like it was

463
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,760
left in a hurry like De La Luz's
apartment.

464
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,280
However, it seems like maybe
somebody comes here every once

465
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,400
in a while.
Like, it looks like somebody has

466
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,840
definitely been living here, but
they're not here right now.

467
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,040
OK.
So nobody's home.

468
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,360
It seems like nobody's home.
Might be at the Mint.

469
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,920
Might be in the shower.
They're really sound sleepers.

470
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Sorry this is unrelated, but did
we also learn the name of the

471
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,040
place that she would be
performing tonight?

472
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Not tonight.
And it was a different club.

473
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,800
It was a place she had performed
in the past.

474
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,560
What the pass?
Yeah, that was.

475
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,840
OK.
OK, well let's check the whole

476
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,240
place just to be sure.
Maybe there's treasure.

477
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,600
Yeah.
Do you want to take the door off

478
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,880
to the side, or do you want to
go take the hallway deeper?

479
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,800
Ear to both of them. 2:00 and
2:00.

480
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,280
Ear to both of them.
Is there any noise coming from

481
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,920
there?
Not that you can hear, OK.

482
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,080
Colin will take the hallway.
I'll take the door to the side.

483
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,280
I'll go to the room to the side.
OK, Burns.

484
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Then I'll follow up on the
hallway the.

485
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,280
Side room appears to be a master
suite.

486
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,640
It's furnished for two.
There's lamps, side tables, and

487
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,680
the closet is half full of
clothes for a man and a woman.

488
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,960
The walls are all bare.
No pictures.

489
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,680
No mirrors.
No mirrors.

490
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,640
When you go inside the bathroom,
there is a curtain that is

491
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,680
currently placed over the
mirror.

492
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:59,760
That's rather odd.
I mean, if I had one of those on

493
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,280
my face, I wouldn't want to look
at myself either.

494
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,240
Since there's a bathroom is
there?

495
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,680
I'm assuming there's like a
medicine cabinet or the lake in

496
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,240
here?
Yeah, yeah.

497
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:15,000
Oh, free drugs.
Well, because I'm fairly

498
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,280
knowledgeable in both medicine
and pharmacy, is there anything

499
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,440
or like are there any
medications or anything like

500
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,000
that or anything that looks
suspicious?

501
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Not really.
You know, you notice there's

502
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,960
only one toothbrush and one
thing of toothpaste.

503
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,560
Actually, just looking at this,
it looks like there may have

504
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,360
been more things in here at one
point, drugs and other things,

505
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,440
but at.
This point cabinet stuff.

506
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,760
It's a medicine cabinet, but it
looks like it's like half empty.

507
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,640
It looks like a lot of stuff has
been removed.

508
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,960
Stuff like makeup, presumably.
Oh, you don't see anything

509
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,880
belonging to a woman in here?
How wet is the toothbrush?

510
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,720
That that's a true question.
It is you feel no moisture on

511
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,720
it.
What time is it?

512
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,600
Night.
It's night.

513
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400
Shit.
Well, it could have dried, yeah.

514
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,400
That's the.
Thing during the day, yeah.

515
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,160
Meanwhile, you guys make your
way into the other group makes

516
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,440
their way into the kitchen.
It's spacious but relatively

517
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,120
Spartan.
There's a stove and icebox and a

518
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,880
blender, but no other appliances
or anything like that.

519
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,800
All right then, let's poke
around.

520
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,760
What's in the fridge?
There's a little bit of food in

521
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,880
the fridge, looks like maybe
like 2 meals worth of food is in

522
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,600
there.
It's not like cooked already,

523
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,400
but you know the things that you
would use to make a meal.

524
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,680
There is also as you're going
through like the utensils and

525
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,360
whatnot, there's like the
minimum of necessary utensils.

526
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,120
Service for one.
Maybe you also see from the

527
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,760
kitchen there is a way out to a
balcony.

528
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,400
I would like to use forensics
OK.

529
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,800
What are you looking for?
I'm not sure yet.

530
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:03,640
I do know one way that a 2
bedroom penthouse would become a

531
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,040
1 occupant penthouse.
If you're looking for any blood

532
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,480
or anything like that, you're
not finding anything in

533
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,920
particular.
Nothing seems particularly

534
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,280
criminal about what you were
looking at in this kitchen.

535
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:22,840
They broke up.
Looking at the utensils, it

536
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,440
seems like, yeah, they don't get
used very often.

537
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,520
So maybe the thing you're
learning more is even if there's

538
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,720
one person who lives here, if
you're suspecting A breakup, the

539
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,880
person who lives here does not
live here full time.

540
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,960
Yeah, it seems that.
Way JBI think this is their bang

541
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,480
pad.
Oh.

542
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:50,960
My God, I I guess we haven't
seen anything to disprove that.

543
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,200
All right, this is a penthouse.
I'm guessing it's more than a

544
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,680
kitchen.
A hallway in a bedroom.

545
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,040
You know what?
There's an outdoor patio.

546
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,520
But you know, you're right.
It seems like there should be

547
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,560
another room here, but you don't
see one.

548
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,480
So the elevator opened onto the
living room?

549
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,440
Yeah.
Then there was a room off the

550
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,520
side, which was the master
bedroom that had a bathroom

551
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,760
attached.
Yes.

552
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Then there's a hallway, and at
the end of the hallway is where

553
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,440
the kitchen was.
No, the hallway, you could go

554
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,200
sort of straightforward in the
hallway, just sort of just a

555
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,360
small little ways and then you
would get to the kitchen.

556
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,320
But if you went to the left down
the hallway, there's like a

557
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
closet at the end.
And then if you go a little bit

558
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,920
to the right, you hit a wall.
OK so I don't have any forensic

559
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:39,920
skills, however with my craft
can I look at the walls and see

560
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,960
if maybe there could be a secret
door panel somewhere?

561
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,400
With craft as you're looking
around, if there is one, it must

562
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,800
have been well hidden like this
wasn't like a a hasty hiding of

563
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,800
this this secret room that you
guys are suspecting is here.

564
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,560
It seems like it was like very
well covered up.

565
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,600
Would someone with architecture
be better able to discover it?

566
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,240
Perhaps, if indeed it does exist
and you're not just yanking our

567
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,840
chains.
Yeah, you're getting the vibe

568
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:18,960
that this hallway led to another
room at some point.

569
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,720
All right, I definitely don't
have architecture.

570
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,880
Oh.
Well, that that's the feeling I

571
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,480
was kind of getting once the
hallway was described better

572
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,960
anyway.
Like as a person.

573
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,720
Yeah, I'm suspecting either that
wall or the closet.

574
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,520
Could I, with my craft, just
inspect the wall just like knock

575
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,280
on it, sort of press on it, you
know, see if there's a few of

576
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,200
there's air blowing through it
somehow?

577
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,720
As you're feeling it, this a
full brick wall that you're

578
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,440
feeling on with plaster.
OK, somebody want to look at the

579
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,120
closet?
Sure, I'll check it out.

580
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,000
So nice.
Seems to be a pretty typical

581
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,320
closet.
There's a broom, Damien, and a

582
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,120
mop.
Do you have architecture?

583
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,360
Not on this character, no.
Oh.

584
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,160
Shit, none of us have
architecture.

585
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,040
However, at the moment, damn it,
drawing up a small map so I can

586
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,520
visualize things a little
better.

587
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,400
There's a sizable outdoor patio
still that you have not gone to.

588
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,240
I can't imagine that it's in.
Patio at the moment.

589
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,040
You've only mentioned it three
times.

590
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Yeah, I'll check out the outdoor
patio.

591
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,000
Hey everyone, I'll get you back
to the show in just a second.

592
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Just popping in to say we have a
Patreon.

593
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,600
The plan is to keep all our real
content free, but with the

594
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Patreon you'll have access to
the things that are easier to

595
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,200
miss in an audio format, along
with a couple extras like the

596
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,040
Super mid music I make for the
show, scans of Renee paintings,

597
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,080
and an episode or two that never
made it to air.

598
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,480
We didn't get into this to make
money, but if we could hire an

599
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,360
editor, the rest of the cast
would have no choice but to

600
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,400
release me from the terrifying
editing dimension that

601
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,040
constantly shifts and curdles
one with my feet.

602
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,200
When water comes, it smells
wrong and I haven't seen my

603
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,920
family in weeks.
Once when I was sleeping,

604
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,280
something grabbed me and threw
me across the room, but when I

605
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,000
opened my eyes there was nothing
there except the computer and a

606
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,960
pile of strange coarse feet
sustained me for another few

607
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,600
days, and the echoes and
visibles are a pain to remove

608
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,920
from my track.
You can find it at

609
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:10,639
patreon.com/dread Tails.
OK, the patio was dirty and

610
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:13,719
covered in bird shit.
Oh, they never go out here.

611
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,639
And most of the patio's devoted
to a collection of coops and

612
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:21,120
pens for birds.
Oh.

613
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Holy fuck.
I leave.

614
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:25,600
I leave.
I go back inside.

615
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,120
What kind of birds, Dan?
I go back inside.

616
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,000
The birds are not there at the
moment.

617
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,719
No.
That doesn't change the speed at

618
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,000
which I'm going back inside.
The latch doors are left open.

619
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,520
OK.
Anything else?

620
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,639
Anything behind the coops?
Well, people said they ran back

621
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:49,679
inside so.
OK, I watched JB run back inside

622
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,560
and I'm like, OK, yeah, you stay
in here and with my shotgun

623
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,840
ready, I'm going to come out and
going to look around.

624
00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:58,160
OK, what are you looking for?
Anything other than the coops?

625
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,880
Is there stairs somewhere?
Like is there a compartment?

626
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,000
I don't know.
OK.

627
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,560
I mean I will say that the coops
are covered in like bird

628
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,120
feathers.
If you want to go look at that

629
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,520
in more detail, I suppose you
could.

630
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,360
They definitely being fed
something up here.

631
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:17,640
And you see that there are
symbols that have been carved

632
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,440
into the wooden portions of the
coops.

633
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,320
But more importantly, as you're
looking around for other things,

634
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,000
because you are suspecting this
secret room that you were

635
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,400
talking about, this theoretical
secret room between the kitchen

636
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,560
and the outer wall of the
building, you realize that there

637
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,280
is like a section of the
building that shouldn't be there

638
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,520
if there is a room or if there
isn't.

639
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,960
A room.
There's too much space.

640
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,480
It seems like the fittings
between the bricks there aren't

641
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,480
tight enough.
OK, so if we make our way back

642
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,400
to the kitchen, where would the
entry point be theoretically,

643
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,760
like into this space that
shouldn't be there?

644
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,920
It's behind the refrigerator.
Also, looking at it, it does not

645
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,960
look like the refrigerator has
been moved.

646
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,720
Well, let's correct that.
I tuck my shotgun in the belt on

647
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:14,800
my pants, roll up my sleeves,
and I move the refrigerator.

648
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,000
All right, there's a brick wall
at the other side of the

649
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,280
refrigerator.
Are we sweeping back there?

650
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,080
What's the plan?
I don't know.

651
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,320
It's just this space here.
I showed the gentleman what I

652
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,080
discovered.
This space shouldn't be here.

653
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,200
I suspect that there is an entry
in here somewhere.

654
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,880
I booed it.
I fight the wall, Daniel.

655
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,160
This is a very sturdy wall.
Well, let's see if it's sturdy

656
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,200
enough.
You just kick it with your foot

657
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,440
and hurt your foot.
Don't lose your foot now.

658
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,960
It's it's sort of a stomp.
So my foot comes down and it

659
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,720
throws me off balance and I fall
over it in a very undignified

660
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:58,880
manner and I hit my head on the
face and bleed out and die.

661
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,480
OK, I look at smalls and I'm
like, OK Doc, there's some

662
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,280
symbols, some runes or something
carved on the sides of the coops

663
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,160
there.
Do you know of any magics that

664
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,760
could open walls or doors or
such?

665
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,240
And if so, are the runes related
in any way?

666
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:20,920
I don't know, I'm just going out
on a limb here.

667
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:26,400
Magic that's not quite my
specialty here.

668
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:34,800
There have been tales of magics
that do various things if you

669
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,760
look back through the folklore
of various countries and peoples

670
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,720
in the world.
Would I be able to use my

671
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:48,480
history knowledge to come up
with something relevant?

672
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,640
Here, no, you need a cult skill
for the well.

673
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,920
Also, you would need to go look
at the roods and stuff a little

674
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,760
bit more closely.
Probably when you look out there

675
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,440
I will tell you this, these
symbols do not look like

676
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,680
anything that would be from this
area of history or even older

677
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,760
Aztec stuff.
At the risk of not liking the

678
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,800
answer, do any of us have a
cult?

679
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:15,520
Not I.
You don't have Cthulhu.

680
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,360
I don't have a cult.
I have 1.2 mythos but that's.

681
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,440
Not a cult and Cthulhu Mythos
are two separate skills and none

682
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:28,440
of us have a cult of course.
One of you should probably buy

683
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,840
that skill after.
We're Yeah, Dan, It's occurring

684
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,560
to me.
It's the.

685
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,920
I didn't need it before.
I built my character to kind of

686
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,320
be a specific way.
Yeah, yeah, I know.

687
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,400
You you are specifically running
away from your old occultist.

688
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,800
Character.
Yeah, no, I'm not blaming.

689
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,400
You OK?
Again, going under the limb

690
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:50,040
here, is it possible to poke at
the bricks and see if any of

691
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,760
them like can be pushed in like
buttons?

692
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,160
That is a good thought, however
none of the bricks that you are

693
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,040
pressing seem to push in.
No Cairns, that's castles around

694
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,400
here.
We're probably looking for a

695
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,600
Candelabra.
I thought it was like outside of

696
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,680
the balcony, like it was the
side of the building.

697
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,280
No, it is on the IT is on the
balcony.

698
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,320
So when you're looking at the
balcony, you look at the

699
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,160
kitchen, and then you look at
the exterior wall of the

700
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,960
penthouse and you realize there
is a pretty sizable space

701
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,800
between where the kitchen wall
ends at the outdoor wall of the

702
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,040
penthouse.
I just assumed that people

703
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,040
entering the secret passage
wouldn't want to be seen from

704
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,520
the street.
We're 10.

705
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,360
We.
Are 10 floors up?

706
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Yeah, upon the balcony.
I would like to use a reverse

707
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,480
conceal and.
What are you showing off?

708
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,160
Oh Oh no, I'm I'm finding
something that's hidden and

709
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,800
instead of removing a point I
add 1.

710
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,200
I think that's just called using
evidence collection.

711
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:57,600
Oh yeah.
Or forensics also could work.

712
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,640
But yeah, as you're looking
around you don't see anything in

713
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,960
particular.
Doesn't look like people come

714
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,800
out here very much.
Or at least a furniture.

715
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,560
Again, there's just bird shit
fucking everywhere.

716
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:13,920
But as you're looking in the
cages themselves, the coops, you

717
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,600
do see that there are abandoned
feathers all over the place.

718
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,440
It looks like they belong to two
different types of birds.

719
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,080
But you know, I don't know if
you know much about birds.

720
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,000
What color birds a black?
Would I be able to figure out

721
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,960
what type of birds that is with
my knowledge of biology?

722
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,280
Absolutely.
I have that as well.

723
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,920
OK.
Well.

724
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,080
There you go. 1 is a grackle,
probably the great tailed

725
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,320
grackle common to the area which
are similar to the birds that

726
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:53,480
you battled earlier, and another
species roughly half the size,

727
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,880
probably a red footed Blackbird,
which is known for its pleasing

728
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,760
song, which live relatively
close to the southern.

729
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,680
They live in Mexico City sort on
the southern area.

730
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,520
Neither species is typically
kept as pets.

731
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,400
Both are omnivorous.
They eat both seed and insects.

732
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:19,000
However, as you you are looking
around, they're eating not just

733
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,080
that they've been fed fresh
carrion.

734
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,240
You find uneaten fingernails and
finger bones stripped of their

735
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:32,200
flesh lying amid the bird shit
and broken seed cells at the

736
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,000
bottom of the cage.
But not human finger bones,

737
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,440
surely?
At least 12 fingers turn up

738
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,560
human fingers.
Shit.

739
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,720
Probably from three or more
different people, all within the

740
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:46,320
last.
Month.

741
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,800
Well, this is gruesome.
One more thing you as you are

742
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,960
looking at the the actual seeds,
there's a particular odor that

743
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,000
you're detecting off of the bird
feed and realize that there are

744
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,080
definitely traces of nectar.
Oh, what a shocker.

745
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,640
But as you're looking around,
you also find a switch just on

746
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,600
the ground.
Just on the ground.

747
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,440
It's covered in bird shit.
I'll bet.

748
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:18,440
I flip it with my foot.
You hear a click and you see the

749
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,400
brick wall opposite the coop
leading to the suspected secret

750
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,000
room move slightly.
Push on it to try and open it

751
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,800
the rest of the way it opens.
To another room.

752
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,600
Here we go.
You find a furnished room with a

753
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,920
wooden floor, 2 brick walls, and
two of plaster.

754
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,360
It was probably meant to be like
a den or a study inside the

755
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,280
penthouse, but was later sealed
and redesigned as this concealed

756
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,160
chamber.
I'm trying to decide what would

757
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,960
be the most notable thing that
you would see first.

758
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,640
Probably the altar.
Yeah, probably the altar.

759
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,160
OK.
There's an altar of polished

760
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,480
marble set on a wooden
sideboard.

761
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:04,520
Set out on the altar is a record
and lying in front of it are

762
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,400
some sort of paper, a vial and
some half belted candles that

763
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,800
are unlit.
Is the vial full of orange

764
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,720
liquid?
Yes, it is.

765
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,080
Yeah, I was going to say, is
this going to be a problem?

766
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,280
It is going to be AI mean you're
going to need to make a check

767
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,360
like that's just how this works.
It is here, it is available.

768
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,920
You have not had access to it
for quite some time.

769
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,560
You need some fucking nectar,
baby.

770
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,200
What's the stability I need to
be?

771
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,760
Difficulty 5.
Well, if I spend one point, I

772
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,840
have a 5050 chance of making it.
I still failed, so you know.

773
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,240
You need that nectar you.
Needed that.

774
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,520
All right.
I try to go for it.

775
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,120
OK.
Can I grab them?

776
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:53,760
Smalls actually is going to
react here and try and restrain

777
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,400
JB using scuffling, not trying
to knock him out or anything

778
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,560
like that but trying to like put
him in a full Nelson and like

779
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,880
hold him back to.
Well, first you're gonna have to

780
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,920
hit his hit threshold.
Which shouldn't be too hard.

781
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,080
It's 3.
OK, I am gonna spend 1 because I

782
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,840
like having the potential for
failure with this because I

783
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,160
think that could be kind of
funny.

784
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,560
I think it'll be even funnier if
you just let him take the

785
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,680
nectar.
It's a very good chance I roll

786
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,400
A1.
No, there's a one in six chance

787
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,640
you're going to roll one.
What are the odds that that's

788
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,880
going to happen again?
It didn't.

789
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,200
See you got a 5.
OK, I need you to be Yeah, a six

790
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:30,600
on a scuffling check.
I.

791
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,200
Have no scuffling points, so.
OK, then I need you to make a

792
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,640
weapons check.
Oh yeah, but I can choose not to

793
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,160
spend points, right?
I guess if you want to be lame,

794
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,200
OK.
I'm not gonna stab my fellow

795
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,880
players, I mean.
OK, so two points of order.

796
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,040
First, you're not stabbing the
player, you're stabbing the PC.

797
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,520
And true second for narratively,
I honestly even being the person

798
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,480
who would be the target of the
stabbing here, I do think it

799
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,760
would make sense that because it
has been a while since JB has

800
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,880
had any nectar, I think it would
make sense for him to go to that

801
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,120
direction.
But that is also my opinion.

802
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,560
It is your character, play him
as you.

803
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,120
Call me lame or whatever, but
I'm not gonna spend points for

804
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:17,520
this.
Yeah.

805
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,840
OK.
Like I said, I wasn't directed

806
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,360
at you.
Damien Daniel is the one who

807
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,240
called me lame to my face for
this.

808
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,440
That's a 5A.
Five works, so you are

809
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,440
restrained.
JBJB, I'm gonna need you to calm

810
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,280
down here, my friend.
No.

811
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,760
I can see that you're struggling
and I can see that you're in a

812
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,000
bad place right now.
Let me help you.

813
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,320
Kearns was going to run for the
drugs.

814
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,000
Yes, I'm going to do that.
Question.

815
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,920
If I crush this thing and stomp
on it, are you going to lick it

816
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,120
off the floor?
Yeah, yes, the safer bet would

817
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,520
be throwing it off the building.
No, I'm not going to do that.

818
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,160
Yeah, no, I'd probably try and
follow it then.

819
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:06,120
Yeah, no, I'm just gonna grab
it, go into the kitchen and wash

820
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,400
it down the sink.
No, fuck not.

821
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,840
No, that's a bad idea, OK.
That's.

822
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,360
Smart.
So it's a bad idea, no?

823
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,160
Why it's not a bad idea.
Into the water.

824
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,880
It's gonna get into the fucking
water system.

825
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,680
Come on.
Mouth sink.

826
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:20,560
No, fuck.
Me.

827
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,280
I mean look, A1 little bit of
nectar is not going to like

828
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,280
destroy the entire water system.
Fuck you.

829
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,920
Probably.
I'm just, no, I'm just taking

830
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,000
the bottle and I'm just gonna
hold on to it for now, I think.

831
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,560
Yeah, you can pretend to wash it
down the sink and JB won't know

832
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:42,680
the difference.
There you go.

833
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,440
I like that OK.
I could probably do that.

834
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,600
I was about to say I do have one
more thing I can do here with

835
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,000
that as well to help out I would
like to spend a point of

836
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,640
psychoanalysis as it is quite
apparent that JB is acting in an

837
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,600
erratic manner due to mental
illness.

838
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,040
Yeah, is addiction a?
Mental illness?

839
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,400
Objectively, yeah.
OK, if an investigator is acting

840
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,320
in an erratic manner due to
mental illness, another

841
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,560
investigator can spend
psychoanalysis.

842
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,440
One point for me, two points for
everybody else, to snap him into

843
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,680
a state of temporary lucidity.
You know what?

844
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,920
Sure.
It is a mental health condition.

845
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,800
And I still.
Have to make it happen, yes.

846
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,960
Yes.
And the target will act rational

847
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,920
for a manager of the scene or
until they suffer stability

848
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,440
loss.
So we'll make a rule is it is a

849
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,600
difficulty free roll, Yeah.
Difficulty 3.

850
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,040
Yeah, standard difficulty.
I rolled A6 so I will spend a

851
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:42,440
point to bring JB back to his
senses for a couple minutes.

852
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:45,880
OK, I'm good.
I'm good.

853
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,080
Sorry about that.
It's gone now, right?

854
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:50,360
Yeah.
Yeah.

855
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:52,840
All gone.
I'm gonna tell you something.

856
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,080
When it was there, you could
smell it.

857
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:57,800
That sort of thing that was
driving you.

858
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:03,080
It smelled different.
OK, It smelled very different

859
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,120
than the nectar you've had
before.

860
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,280
Interesting.
More potent then?

861
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,160
Less.
They're watering it down.

862
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:12,640
Maybe it's just a weaker mouth
it.

863
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,840
Could be a weaker mouth.
If you had some, you could do

864
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,440
like some chemistry on it, maybe
figure that out, but it got

865
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,160
flushed down the the sink, so we
don't have any.

866
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,840
Anymore.
Oh yeah, thank God we got rid of

867
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,160
that shit right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

868
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,240
No, no, there's no more of it.
I couldn't see with everybody in

869
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:31,840
the way what happened.
Don't worry too much about it.

870
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,720
Hey, question.
Hey.

871
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:40,000
Answer Morphine has been used as
a way to treat well, to treat

872
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,640
DeLorean tremens and like
withdrawal symptoms from

873
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:48,440
addiction to other substances.
And it worked great.

874
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:54,400
Well yes, granted it got the
people addicted to morphine

875
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,040
instead.
You don't know.

876
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,160
You would have to try it to see
if it works.

877
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,800
You know what I mean?
Like that's.

878
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,960
OK.
For science.

879
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,520
I'm good for the moment.
I don't need.

880
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,080
Please don't give me morphine.
No, I wasn't planning on giving

881
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,680
you anything, I was just
offering.

882
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:16,120
Just going to sell it.
So anyway, back to this room.

883
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:17,640
There's more stuff in this room,
yeah.

884
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,280
So.
So yeah, once.

885
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:20,840
Yeah, I was going to say tell us
once he.

886
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,680
Bumps down, I let him go.
So like I said, on the altar

887
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,160
there's a vial of nectar, some
unlit candles that had been used

888
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:33,520
before, like they're burned down
a little bit, and this shrine

889
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,840
with a record on it, also some
paper.

890
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,040
What's the paper?
Oh, I'll show you.

891
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,960
Take a look.
Did you describe that for us?

892
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,400
There's a skeleton on it.
It is Musica de la Luz,

893
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,240
featuring the voice of Leticia
de la Luz, One de la Luz, 2

894
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:56,040
Cancion del Cuco, 3 Armonia de
Los Diosis, 4 Karisha de Los

895
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:03,120
Labios, 5 Granito de le Montana,
accompanied by Javier Luna and

896
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:06,040
the Fools.
I forget exactly what the

897
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,720
translation was there.
Here's grinning fools, but yeah.

898
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,160
Grinning fools.
There you go.

899
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:15,520
And the back has a bunch of
looks like Japanese characters.

900
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,640
They're not Japanese characters,
but they are characters that you

901
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,760
do not recognize.
Okay, so Cuco is a bird, right?

902
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,200
Yes.
Okay, first of the light,

903
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,600
second, the song of birds, birds
or one bird.

904
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:34,200
Third, Harmony of the Gods. 4th
is I don't know the first word,

905
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:39,680
but it's of the lips, and then
#5 is something of the mountain.

906
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,800
I mean you speak Spanish, so it
would be that is caress of the

907
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,040
lips.
Uh huh.

908
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,840
And what is Grunita?
That is going to be mountain

909
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,320
growl, more or less growl of
the.

910
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,160
Mountain growl of the mountain,
huh?

911
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,520
So what would you, what do you
think this sort of?

912
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,600
Yeah.
And CUCO means not specific, not

913
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,040
generic bird, but specifically a
cuckoo.

914
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,360
Cuckoo bird, Yeah.
That sort of seems like a track

915
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,680
list.
Yeah, yeah, it seems like a

916
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,840
track list.
Yeah, it does.

917
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:13,280
Oh, is this the envelope for the
record?

918
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:19,000
The liner notes is what what you
call that usually, Yeah, yeah,

919
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,840
it this might be the liner
notes, but looking at the

920
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,880
writing on it, you don't
recognize it as any sort of

921
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,680
writing that you've seen before.
It might be a code, but.

922
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,000
I popped the record into my
great big discman and pop on the

923
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,760
headphones.
We do know that there is a

924
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,200
record player in the main part
of the apartment, the penthouse.

925
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:40,840
Yeah, probably take this back
then, so.

926
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,160
Is there a record in here then?
Yes, that is also on the altar.

927
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,720
I guess I should tell you the
rest of the room, we got stuck

928
00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:51,800
on the altar there.
There is a mural above the altar

929
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,880
which seems to have been created
in a mix of charcoal.

930
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,800
And that's probably nectar.
That that, That's probably

931
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,560
nectar is what that is.
It's always nectar.

932
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,640
It's it's, yeah, it's kind of
always nectar.

933
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,280
Like we come on.
It looks like a mountain with a

934
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,720
mouth on it.
There's some words inscribed as

935
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:12,720
well.
This is not the the greatest

936
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:23,800
prop I ever made.
It's a fucking vampire teeth.

937
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,240
No are.
Those vampire teeth, damn.

938
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,880
No, it's a mouth inscribed on a
mountain.

939
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:36,360
Uh huh, Uh huh.
And it says in Spanish, the maw

940
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,800
of the mouth lies within the.
Devouring I'm sorry you worked

941
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,040
hard on this.
I shouldn't laugh.

942
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,440
The maw of what?
The maw of the mouth.

943
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,400
I'm trying to within the
devouring mountain.

944
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,320
My inability to read cursive
bites me in the ass again, but

945
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,280
that is definitely also in
Spanish so that's not helping.

946
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,560
There are also symbols painted
around it as well.

947
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,160
I don't know if you have a way
to figure out what those symbols

948
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,360
mean, but.
Anthropology.

949
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,600
Art History.
Anthropology.

950
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,560
I have art history.
Anthropology or archaeology, you

951
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,480
could get it with a spend.
If you speak a native language

952
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,520
other than Spanish, you also
could get it.

953
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:15,680
German.
No luck on art history though.

954
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,600
No, not on art history.
This isn't the kind of stuff

955
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,400
that would be studied in
traditional art histories.

956
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,320
I can spend a point of
anthropology.

957
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,760
OK, the symbols translate as
mountain, mouth, moon, rain,

958
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,400
earthquake.
You also find a writing desk.

959
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,400
It's an expensive wooden desk, a
wooden chair, and it looks very

960
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,600
fancy.
Drawers.

961
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,560
There are drawers, yes.
As you go through the drawers

962
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:45,000
and looking at the notes on it,
you find 3 different letters.

963
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,120
So show and tell time, all
right?

964
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,120
Yay.
The letter is sent from Merida,

965
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,520
Yucatan.
Jonathan, we were finally able

966
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,680
to sort out the money you had
wired and are now able to begin

967
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,800
making meaningful preparations
for our expedition into the

968
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,960
interior.
I am now in the process of

969
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,920
interviewing guides here in
Merida, although that is posing

970
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,160
some difficulty as we have still
not been able to figure out

971
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,560
exactly how long we'll need to
spend in the jungle.

972
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,840
Good news at last.
However, Francisco de la Vega is

973
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,600
more troubled than he's worse,
but he finally agreed to give us

974
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,040
permission to cross his lands.
Believe me that I too had

975
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,240
fantasized about shooting him in
the head, but it doesn't look

976
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:27,800
like that will be necessary now.
If all goes well, this will be

977
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,920
my last letter before we depart.
I will send a runner back to

978
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,720
Merida as soon as the site has
been found to telegram you with

979
00:54:34,720 --> 00:54:37,080
the news.
You will not hear from me again.

980
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,560
Until then, sign Sancho
Dominguez.

981
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,800
For the record, you would know
that Merida, Yucatan is the

982
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,200
capital of the Mexican state of
Yucatan, which is a little

983
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:52,040
further South in Mexico, and it
is in the northwest corner of

984
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,720
the Yucatan Peninsula where
there are a lots of Mayan ruins.

985
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,920
Cool also that that fellow's
name is Dominguez.

986
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:05,520
We we found a letter signed with
an initial D.

987
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,720
That's true, it's the same.
Day.

988
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,120
Jonathan, I respect the rage you
feel for the secrets that

989
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,440
Ekvaria kept.
I suspect that all that we seek

990
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,920
would be trivial child's play if
Ramona not deliberately

991
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,480
concealed the truth from us.
Nor do I fault you for not

992
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,320
putting great faith in Samson.
Not anymore.

993
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,000
And so I understand that you may
have caused to distrust.

994
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,000
But I can tell you in no
uncertain terms that Golgaroth

995
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,920
was but another of Ramon's lies.
The mouths are not of the

996
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,200
Fishers.
Making this expedition you are

997
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,520
planning is ill conceived at
best, and more likely utter

998
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,800
folly.
You would have more success

999
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,400
sending Dominguez here to Coke,
Crook Island, or coming yourself

1000
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,320
and studying reports I've
gathered from explanations all

1001
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,560
across the globe over these past
10 years.

1002
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:09,520
The letter is signed S S. 3rd
Letter from Luz Discos Samson, I

1003
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,520
know you've been waiting.
I know you're unhappy with my

1004
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,680
performance.
I'm unhappy with our performance

1005
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,640
too.
But I'm also unhappy with yours.

1006
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,120
I see daily what your God can do
and what it can seemingly undo.

1007
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,680
I hear nightly what it truly
wants, and it is not what you

1008
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,200
say.
It is not the only liar among

1009
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,720
us, and perhaps not the worst.
In fact, I see clearly now the

1010
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:34,200
lies began with the Cavaria who
kept us out, who kept us from

1011
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,560
his hidden truth.
And do you think that gives you

1012
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,960
a right to continue the lies, to
continue the deceit, to continue

1013
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,360
your efforts to preclude his
glory in order to claim your

1014
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,760
own?
But you are wrong, Samson, so

1015
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:52,600
terrible and unforgivably wrong.
I trusted you, we trusted you,

1016
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,160
but you have forgotten the voice
of your God, our God, my God.

1017
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,720
You seek to cloak the glory of
Golgoroth in the lie of the

1018
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:04,160
black man you name Yarlathotep,
and pretend that you have

1019
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,760
revealed great truth.
All you have revealed is your

1020
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,800
falsehood.
I blame myself too, of course.

1021
00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:13,600
I see your jealousy in my own.
I remember the summer of 1924

1022
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,320
when Edgar Job came to me and
told me that a Cavaria had

1023
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,080
selected him to go to the Great
Right.

1024
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,160
I thought, why has this man been
chosen?

1025
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,160
This worm, this maggot?
He is no greater than I.

1026
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,560
He has not been here longer than
I.

1027
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,760
It should have been me who was
chosen.

1028
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,840
But of course, Akavaria was a
fool.

1029
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,120
Just as you are a fool.
Denying greatness.

1030
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,040
My greatness, The greatness
which Akavaria bestowed upon

1031
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:36,440
Job.
Oh, yes.

1032
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,600
Don't think I don't know the
truth, Samson.

1033
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,120
I know you had him locked up in
an asylum.

1034
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,920
Savitri told me where you had
him squirreled away.

1035
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,200
And then, listening to the voice
of my beautiful Letitia, I

1036
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,120
realized the truth of it.
You had to lock him away.

1037
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,640
Had to lock away the truth.
For surely the great gold Goroth

1038
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,840
can see the truth of you.
Your pettiness, your

1039
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,800
worthlessness.
That's why you claim to be the

1040
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,960
inheritor of secret knowledge
from the Cavaria.

1041
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,080
Although I know now that he kept
you in the dark, he must have

1042
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,880
seen how worthless you are too.
And now I wonder.

1043
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,520
When I found you in 26, you told
me that a cover is ritual that

1044
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,560
failed.
Was even that a lie?

1045
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,720
Now that I think of it, it must
be.

1046
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,040
My God, Trammell.
Lies built atop lies.

1047
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,840
The recovery is ritual.
Must have been a success.

1048
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,760
He found the path the Great
Golgoroth laid for him, and he

1049
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,880
and all those worthy with him
for taken through the mouth and

1050
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,800
into the land of the chosen
People, and you must have been

1051
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,920
rejected.
It all makes sense now, how that

1052
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,720
rejection must have burned you,
must have hurt you.

1053
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,800
And so now you seek to hide the
Chosen People from the Great

1054
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,600
Golgoroth by cloaking his name
and your lies.

1055
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,400
But now I found my own path to
Gulshamal.

1056
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:51,960
Yes, that's right.
I have learned the secret name

1057
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,240
of the mod and I have learned
that the path to.

1058
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,280
There is an ink stain.
It seems like the letter is

1059
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,920
unfinished and unset.
That was longer than I was

1060
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,640
expecting when I started.
Yeah, this is really long then.

1061
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,920
Yes, wait till you you didn't
quite meet it, but wait till you

1062
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,040
fucking meet this guy.
My God.

1063
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,680
Yeah, The rule of three, huh?
Yeah.

1064
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,600
So what do we think about this
information that we just found?

1065
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:24,720
I retained nothing.
That's a good place to wrap it.

1066
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:29,000
Brooks thinks that the mouths
are What was the thing's name

1067
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,720
again?
Gosh, Goshumon.

1068
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,760
Gol Shumon.
I mean, I'm assuming the the X

1069
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,880
reads as sure because like it's
maybe Aztec.

1070
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,640
Yeah, maybe like sholo dog
spelled XOL.

1071
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:46,000
O yeah, so there's that.
Looks like Sancho is in Yucatan

1072
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,480
looking for Golgoroth s S is
that's a bad idea and we should

1073
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:55,200
go to Cockrock Island?
Yeah, also, shock of all shocks,

1074
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,880
there's infighting in this
murder sex cult built around

1075
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,000
drugs and lies.
Hood of Guest.

1076
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:06,600
Yeah, it seems that our man
Brooks here does not agree with

1077
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,120
Trammel.
Trammel has told him that their

1078
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:13,840
God is named their Lathatep, and
Brooks seems to believe that it

1079
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,880
is Golgoroth and is looking for
something called Gol Oximol.

1080
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,120
But that might not be quite how
you pronounce it.

1081
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,280
You've never seen that name.
I just googled it though.

1082
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,880
Somebody with archaeology.
OK, So yeah, that if that was a

1083
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,520
misspelling, it makes more sense
because oxmal or akshmal, I

1084
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,800
don't know.
It's like a city and it's it's

1085
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:36,920
an ancient Mayan city,
basically.

1086
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,640
No, this is another ancient
Mayan city that isn't the real

1087
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,800
one.
That is maybe a fictional

1088
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,960
ancient Mayan.
Yeah, I, I, I did a quick Google

1089
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,440
search myself and I was trying
from from the stuff that I saw,

1090
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,720
I'm trying to.
When you Google it, you find

1091
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,200
eternal lies like that.
Why would?

1092
01:00:55,480 --> 01:01:00,680
You if we're playing a mystery
game, why would you Google a

1093
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:05,840
keyword from the mystery?
I did not Google Gulshamal or

1094
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,760
whatever.
Yeah, I just googled XUMAL

1095
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,840
meaning that's.
OK, fair enough.

1096
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,720
Yeah, it seems like he has sent
someone to try to find Golgoroth

1097
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,520
at presumably some sort of ruin.
Well, that's stupid.

1098
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,120
It's not Golgoroth.
What is it?

1099
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,000
I don't know.
Finally, there is a bookcase

1100
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,440
here.
There's a lot of books.

1101
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,920
It might take a little bit of
skill to look through this many

1102
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,360
books, buddy.
We call this A.

1103
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,400
Library use.
I'll assist.

1104
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,200
Wait, are they all in Spanish?
No, they're.

1105
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:41,160
Not this is the hidden library.
Thank God library use.

1106
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,720
There are a dozen or so books
that are connected to

1107
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:50,080
Mesoamerican art and culture,
half a dozen blank books that

1108
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,800
are unwritten in, and three
books of traditional Mexican

1109
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:59,480
folk songs, as well as a handful
of occult books.

1110
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,640
They're books that you got from
the UCLA lot.

1111
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,400
They are copies of them,
specifically Children of the

1112
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,160
Night, Nahua Legends, and Womb
of the Black Stove.

1113
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:15,480
From everything we've seen here,
there's a lot of there's mention

1114
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:20,680
of the Yucatan.
I think before too long we're

1115
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:25,160
going to need to figure out what
was going on in that area.

1116
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,120
Oh, as you're looking through
the books, you find a postcard

1117
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:32,760
being used as a bookmark.
Where's the postcard from the?

1118
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,960
Yucatan.
I've posted it here.

1119
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,520
It is just addressed to Brooks.
There is not specifically a

1120
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,360
address that it came from.
On one side you see a picture of

1121
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,120
a ruin and on the other side you
see just a letter that says

1122
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:51,040
departing today for the site or
right again when back in Merida

1123
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,600
Dominguez.
Are we going to Merida?

1124
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,000
Well, this other letter
indicates that that would be a

1125
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,920
waste of time.
Yeah, we don't know who to

1126
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,400
believe.
Yeah, just because that guy

1127
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,760
thinks it's a waste of time
doesn't mean that Brooks didn't

1128
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,840
send somebody there, because
Brooks clearly did send someone

1129
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,000
there.
Well, Ayers and Trammell both,

1130
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,640
said Golgora.
There was nothing.

1131
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,640
Yeah, and.
Then now there's this douchebag.

1132
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:15,800
I'm starting to really hate
Colts.

1133
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,840
Starting to.
Fair enough, I suppose.

1134
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,880
I had 'cause when they kidnapped
and drugged me.

1135
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,240
Yeah, well, maybe when all this
is over we can start our own and

1136
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,040
show them how it's done.
There you go with blackjack and

1137
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,560
hookers.
Gambling.

1138
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:35,840
I don't know if this was
prohibition error or not.

1139
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,320
It was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1140
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,520
Yeah, so gambling's immoral.
Can't do it.

1141
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,680
All the more recent.
I give you even odds that we'd

1142
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,680
get caught right away, too.
You say that like hookers

1143
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:52,360
weren't illegal from the first
from like, varying the leader a

1144
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,160
bit.
That's work is work.

1145
01:03:55,280 --> 01:04:01,080
There, they've only been illegal
in, like, modern history,

1146
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,080
Really.
We're hookers legal in the 30s?

1147
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,480
Well, that's still modern
history, yeah.

1148
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,120
Modern ish history.
So tired of this bullshit.

1149
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,120
I was hoping we would find
somebody.

1150
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,120
Oh fuck.
I guess it could be the

1151
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:17,680
postcard.
It was not supposed to be

1152
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,400
something else, but it's the
postcard.

1153
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:20,960
It's.
Thanks.

1154
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:22,600
I have a question about the
postcard.

1155
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
With my knowledge and history,

1156
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,720
do the ruins on the postcard
look familiar?

1157
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,560
Yeah.
Not necessarily information

1158
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,240
about them or just like what
ruins they are.

1159
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:39,600
Yeah, you are guessing that that
is Coba, which is the tallest

1160
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,440
Mayan structure in the northern
Yucatan.

1161
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,240
OK.
OK.

1162
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,000
I think.
Kearns lowers himself to the

1163
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,080
floor.
Just back to the wall, Just

1164
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:53,800
gunned down, pops a pill.
I really wish that anyway.

1165
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,160
Clubbing, then.
To the Mint.

1166
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,280
Makes sense.
Trouble checks difficulty 3.

1167
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,000
I'll spend the two points.
What's up?

1168
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:03,480
Somebody's coming up the fire
escape.

1169
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,040
Up the fire escape.
Someone is coming up the fire

1170
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:08,520
escape.
Get down, get down, get down.

1171
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,600
Well, why get down?
Just close the room.

1172
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,640
No, I mean we.
Colin seals himself in the

1173
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,800
secret room.
Yeah, no, I'm, I'm waiting for

1174
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,520
that motherfucker to come up,
like poised to grab him.

1175
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,160
So some people are hiding in the
room, some people are waiting to

1176
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,120
grab.
Yep.

1177
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:27,480
Yeah, it sounds fair.
OK.

1178
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,720
Yeah, yeah.
OK, is everybody hiding in the

1179
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,480
room besides our one grabber
over?

1180
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,320
Here.
No, I'm I'm back in the grabber,

1181
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:35,240
Up.
I've got a knife.

1182
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,560
Let's do this.
OK, I'll wait in the room.

1183
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:40,640
You got books to read?
Yeah.

1184
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,600
Hit the top of the of the roof.
On the other hand, hit the top

1185
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,960
of the roof with a gun, sort of
held in it awkwardly as he's

1186
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,400
trying to push himself up.
OK, I kicked the gun.

1187
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,840
Yeah, OK.
Immediately kicked the gun out.

1188
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,040
Of out of his hand.
You made your sense.

1189
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:57,320
Trouble check.
I think that's good.

1190
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,560
You could do that.
And as the gun is plummeting

1191
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,360
down, I'm pointing.
My shotgun to this

1192
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,800
motherfucker's head is this
Blanco.

1193
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,120
It is not Blanco.
That is a good.

1194
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,040
That would have been.
Bad, but that would have been

1195
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:16,400
fun.
No, this is a Mexican man.

1196
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,920
As he's climbing up, he is very
clearly out of breath even from

1197
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,720
coming up.
Like these escape stairs.

1198
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,880
He must have, you know, jumped
up here or something.

1199
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:29,560
And he's coughing a little bit
and you see the that he has a

1200
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,520
pair of binoculars around his
neck, like on a strap.

1201
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,120
You must be the mole rat.
Oh fuck.

1202
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,160
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no.

1203
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,960
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Easy now.

1204
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,280
Easy.
No, no.

1205
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,240
Come up, come up here.
Hands where I can see him.

1206
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:47,920
You.
Fucker, I can't.

1207
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:55,960
I have to push my hands on.
To get up, I have to I did not

1208
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,840
say hands up.
Find your listening.

1209
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,440
Ears.
He tries to push himself up

1210
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,880
once, falls backwards.
And then just no, no, no, no,

1211
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,920
no, no, no, no, no, no.
He puts his hands up after he's

1212
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,880
fallen back on the fire escape
stairs, and he is now trying

1213
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,520
once again to get on the roofie
as able to pull it off the

1214
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,160
second time.
Well, that was sad to watch.

1215
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:20,600
Smiles.
Where's the switch to get out of

1216
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,560
here?
Outside.

1217
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,520
Is there a switch inside this
room?

1218
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,280
There is there is a switch
inside the room.

1219
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,440
It would be very, very funny if
there wasn't.

1220
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:36,720
Are you guys?
Coming.

1221
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,800
Yeah, Yeah.
All right.

1222
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,840
Who's got interrogation?
Anybody other than Colin?

1223
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:45,680
Really.
No.

1224
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,640
I don't have interrogation.
I do have other interpersonal

1225
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,320
skills that we might be able to
use.

1226
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:52,960
Does this guy speak English?
You know what?

1227
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,440
Yes.
He speaks enough English.

1228
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:55,880
OK.
And he.

1229
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,240
Says look, look, look, look,
look.

1230
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:58,480
No.
Reason.

1231
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,520
To shoot me.
OK, OK.

1232
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,040
Well, we'll see about that.
I was just looking around.

1233
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,680
I heard.
There were some people that

1234
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,840
broke in here and I needed to
make sure everything was OK.

1235
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,200
Well, let's assess honesty.
Yeah.

1236
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,440
I mean.
He knew people broke in here,

1237
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,000
but.
This also isn't the first time

1238
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,920
he's been here before.
Let's all step inside and have

1239
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:20,920
a.
Conversation.

1240
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,920
Yeah, okay.
Okay, on your feet, let's go.

1241
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,359
Okay, just.
Calm, calm we can all be.

1242
01:08:30,359 --> 01:08:32,760
Friends here.
We cannot be friends here.

1243
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,439
There's no reason to do anything
hasty, OK?

1244
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,720
I'm not a violent man.
You don't need to be a violent

1245
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:39,040
man.
We're all friends.

1246
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,359
We're all friends.
You've literally came up here

1247
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:43,000
with a gun.
You're up here already.

1248
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,760
With a gun, That's all I'm
saying, OK.

1249
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,359
The difference is we're not
pretending to be non.

1250
01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:53,399
Violent gentlemen, gentlemen,
let's let's table that for.

1251
01:08:53,399 --> 01:08:57,600
The moment Mr. Sorry, can I
smoke?

1252
01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:00,359
Do you mind if I smoke?
Sure, take one of mine.

1253
01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:02,680
Oh, thank you.
And.

1254
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,560
He starts smoking.
He's smoking cigarettes so fast

1255
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,279
you think he was drinking him
down like shots.

1256
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,720
Your name, Sir?
Mr. Brooks called me.

1257
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,439
Dell.
Dell I mean.

1258
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,520
Notchi, Notchi del Toro.
Very well, it was Dell.

1259
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,279
I would.
Appreciate if you would be

1260
01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:25,840
honest with him.
It's not our goal to hurt you.

1261
01:09:26,279 --> 01:09:30,920
Now I'm sure that you can see
that my friends here are are

1262
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,560
willing to do that.
But if we can have a

1263
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:37,760
conversation and be honest with
one another, then I'm sure that

1264
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,640
could be avoided, right?
And I'm trying to use

1265
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:44,680
reassurance here.
I want out.

1266
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:49,479
I don't want any part of this
anymore, OK, I know you guys

1267
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,479
came from up north.
You're working for the the other

1268
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:56,160
part of the cults or whatever.
I don't want any business with

1269
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,680
that, OK.
I just want gone.

1270
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:05,280
So just if you could protect me
from the birds and and and

1271
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,000
Brooks, that's good.
That's great.

1272
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,640
Get me the fuck out of here.
Well, Mr. Trammell might be

1273
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,480
willing to let that happen, but.
It's like Mr. Brooks has gone to

1274
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:16,040
ground and we're going to need
to find him.

1275
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,880
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

1276
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:18,800
Brooks.
Brooks.

1277
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:19,440
Yeah.
You want.

1278
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:21,760
Brooks I could.
I could get your books.

1279
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,640
I could get you.
Brooks, you did.

1280
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,160
You put the gun down.
We're good.

1281
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,560
We're good.
Can I have another cigarette?

1282
01:10:29,480 --> 01:10:30,920
You know I have my own, if
that's OK?

1283
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:35,280
He he pulls out a a pack.
For the record, Kearns does not

1284
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:36,560
put the gun down.
He.

1285
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,800
Looks up, he smiles, then thinks
