Eternal Lies 24: Murder and Music
With a suspicious character in their grasp the investigators do what they do best: lie through their teeth to get information they don't quite know how to use.

Last time on Eternal Lies, after
5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,400
uncovering the whereabouts of
Brooks's and de Luz's love nest,
6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,160
the investigators decided to pay
them a visit, calling in Officer
7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,360
Blanco for backup if needed.
Arriving at the address, the
8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,440
investigators were immediately
stopped dead in their tracks by
9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,240
a concierge who told them he,
and I may be paraphrasing a bit
10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,760
here, thought Brooks was a real
cool cat and it was fine by him
11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,400
if the world ended.
In fact, the lack of due process
12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,400
was a great excuse, because he'd
have done everything he possibly
13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
could to ensure the world burned
as he laughed.
14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600
With the assistance of Officer
Blanco, the mad concierge was
15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,560
subdued long enough for the
investigators to make a break
16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,840
for the penthouse, where, after
some wider bumbling, they
17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,280
discovered a hidden room.
As it turned out, they weren't
18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,280
the only ones checking in on Mr.
Brooks's abode.
19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,480
The die is cast.
The fact is sealed.
20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,760
May God have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's dreadtales.
21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,400
That guy who?
Brought horses to his hand.
22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Maybe it's both.
Very well be both.
23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Victor Cortez was this name of
the person.
24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,800
You bet Victor Cortez was not
the name of the man who brought
25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,520
horses to North America.
His last name was Cortez.
26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,280
His last name was.
Cortez.
27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Hernan Cortez, right?
And then he went into making
28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,720
records.
OK, we're off topic.
29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Very much so.
It's been a while since we
30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,440
recorded.
We're we're just getting back
31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,920
into it.
Probably Donald.
32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,640
I hopefully this isn't the start
of the episode.
33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Or maybe it is, I don't know.
Camera pans to Kearns jabbing
34
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,280
the gun under the guy's fat
chin.
35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,480
He's fat, right?
I.
36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Don't know if I described him as
fat, did I?
37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,360
He was out of breath from
climbing the fire escape.
38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,880
But that's because he's a
smoker, right?
39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Yeah, smokes like a chimney.
I was imagining like a the white
40
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,960
back gentleman.
He's not super in shape, but I
41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800
wouldn't necessarily call him
overweight.
42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,920
OK, anyway, I mean, compared to
compared to Kearns.
43
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,440
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
44
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,000
So I'm jamming the gun under his
chin and I look at my more
45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
brainy companions and I motion
with my hand like go ahead.
46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Well, he's already agreed to
help us out with this.
47
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,120
I don't think the gun says.
Yeah, No, we're cooperating.
48
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,600
See, this is me cooperating.
Cooperating.
49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,320
And then you Get Me Out of here.
Oh my friend, this is just in
50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,800
case you change your mind.
I have not changed my mind.
51
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,080
I have of the opinion that I am
listening to you and answering
52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,960
your questions and then you deal
with Brooks so he doesn't deal
53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,200
with me.
Please don't kill me.
54
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,840
I like this guy already.
Well, we got things to do, so
55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,440
we'll see how it works out.
Yeah.
56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,480
So can I leave town then?
Or we could?
57
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,480
You said you have things to do,
so I'll just be on my way.
58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Good try buddy.
Oh, good try.
59
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,360
No, we're going to take you up
on that answering questions
60
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,480
thing.
In particular, you suggested you
61
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,760
might know where Brooks is.
Yeah, he's holed up in his
62
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,640
studio.
Which studio?
63
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Well, he has a new secret studio
it's underground in.
64
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Like literally or we just
wouldn't have heard of it.
65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Well, no, I went downstairs to
go into it, so I assume it's
66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,840
underground.
That makes sense.
67
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Yeah, he's, he's in an
underground studio with his wife
68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,640
and he brings the the band there
to do recordings.
69
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Now, I think they're done with
the album, or at least they're
70
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,080
almost done with the album, but
I haven't heard from Books in a
71
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,200
while.
He got spooked.
72
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,959
He said that he was worried that
the cops were closing in and
73
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,160
that Trammell was closing in and
that that he was getting real
74
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,840
paranoid.
Real paranoid.
75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,240
Oh, I'm sure Trammell would love
to see this letter of his.
76
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Oh, I don't, I don't know
anything about any letters.
77
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,680
That's, that's none of my
business.
78
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,840
Could we just, could we go
inside where people can't see us
79
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,040
at least?
Yeah, we're like making popcorn
80
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,720
in the microwave and everything.
I don't think either of those
81
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,600
things were a thing, but
whatever, Fuck it.
82
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Yeah, J PS A little busy staring
at the sink going through it.
83
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,160
Oh God.
Oh, we wouldn't have had
84
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,320
microwaves.
Yeah, so we'd be making up corn
85
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,320
on the stove.
Kettle.
86
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,480
Kettle corn, Yeah.
Anyway, friend, what's your name
87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,880
again?
It's del Toro, Notchi del Toro.
88
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,160
It's that's honesty.
He's telling the truth.
89
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Oh, that's good.
Do you have a problem with my
90
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,000
name?
I do not, but I was half worried
91
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440
that this was actually Brooks
and he was going to sell us up
92
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,040
the river.
Yeah.
93
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,160
What's the address of this
underground studio?
94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,120
As far as I understand, you've
been there.
95
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:34,840
OK, so don't shoot me.
I've only been there twice so.
96
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,920
Bad way to start a sentence.
Blindfolded me before he brought
97
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,360
me back.
So what you're saying is if we
98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,320
blindfold you and put you in the
car, you might remember the way?
99
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,080
I could try.
I don't think that's going to
100
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,680
work, probably.
No, I think we'd need some
101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,640
master of the human mind to
unlock the secrets here.
102
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,840
But where would we find such an
individual?
103
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,240
No, but but I think the band
might know.
104
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,520
The band might know.
Well, that's dense reason.
105
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Although maybe they were
blindfolded too.
106
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Kronelov would know though.
Kronelov.
107
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Definitely, Kronelov knows.
Mr. Del Toro, if you're willing,
108
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,920
may be able to help you remember
anything that you could about
109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,720
the route to this studio.
You may have forgotten
110
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,880
something, as you said, it has
only been two times that you've
111
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,320
been.
Yeah, is there a skill you want
112
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,720
to use for this?
Yes, I'm angling for using
113
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,720
hypnosis.
Hypnosis.
114
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Oh, you're going to hypnotize
them into remembering this?
115
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,720
Which was the reason why I
specifically said if he is
116
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,440
willing, it can only be used on
somebody that is willing.
117
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Interesting.
This is a legitimate application
118
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,560
of hypnosis.
Yeah.
119
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,280
And one of the things that you
can do with it is you can
120
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,120
recover memory.
OK, this is going to be a
121
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,040
difficulty for hypnosis.
Check.
122
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Think I have to start from the
beginning.
123
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640
So I think I would have put them
in the hypnotic state first.
124
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Well, yes, but overall I, I
think to, I don't want to play
125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,160
out this entire thing because I
haven't actually thought about
126
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,880
the entire route.
So instead of narrating him
127
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,280
slowly remembering all of this
stuff, I want to maybe just have
128
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,440
you make a hypnosis check and.
Then get.
129
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,960
Something out of it.
I rolled it for.
130
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,760
That was the difficulty, yeah.
That was the difficulty.
131
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,400
What does it look like?
I want to see what it looks
132
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,520
like.
Kearns shovels a handful of
133
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,680
popcorn into his mouth.
Well, you tell me, what does it
134
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,400
look like?
This looks like the the
135
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,600
stereotypical very clinical
guided meditation, like
136
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:02,160
something that you would see in
almost like a 90s drama, not the
137
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,720
high budget dramas.
The.
138
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:10,960
You know, mid.
To low budget drama but yeah
139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720
like.
The the the.
140
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Stereotypical psychiatrist,
putting somebody under and like
141
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,080
he's sitting there and you see
him as soon as he goes under,
142
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,800
just his body kind of melts into
the chair a little bit.
143
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:38,159
Not I, I I get why I would have
to specify that, but yeah, yeah,
144
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:43,600
I have him guide us through the
journey and what he remembers
145
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,200
from all of his senses from in
that state, if that makes any
146
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,280
sense.
Yeah.
147
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,080
Something like you'd see on the
Mentalist.
148
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Yeah, exactly.
Some mentalist shit.
149
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:58,000
Yeah, He gives you a general
area from consulting on like a
150
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,680
map as well.
You're able to get like maybe
151
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,520
5-10 block rate of where this
place could be OK.
152
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,000
It's a pretty good start.
Yeah, sort of skipping through
153
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,880
that whole thing.
But yeah, that's that's what's
154
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,400
going on with that.
Dandy, yeah.
155
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,320
I would like to do one more
thing before bringing him back.
156
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,920
I would like to implant a post
hypnotic suggestion.
157
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,960
Christ, what is it?
You might need to make another
158
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,040
check.
Yeah, I I would imagine upon
159
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:34,640
waking up you will feel a
compelling urge to get out of
160
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,320
this life of crime and become a
model citizen.
161
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,400
OK, Difficulty 5.
That's fair.
162
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,800
I must spend 3 points on this.
I don't get to use hypnosis very
163
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,400
often, or really at all.
I was wondering if he was going
164
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,680
to get him to stop smoking.
I was wondering the same thing.
165
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Smoking is not.
So bad at this point in history.
166
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,920
All right, Yeah.
It is still bad at this point in
167
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400
history.
Well, it's it's not medically
168
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,560
bad or sorry, it is medically
bad.
169
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,440
It's not socially bad.
There we go.
170
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,400
That's where I was going, but I
rolled A5.
171
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,320
OK.
Sweet.
172
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,440
He is going to rethink this life
of crime.
173
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,320
Oh, he's going to get killed
like tomorrow.
174
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,360
I mean, that's not my problem.
That's not our.
175
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,720
Problem.
Yeah, that's her.
176
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,240
That was probably coming either
way anyway.
177
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,920
Never Donovan.
Other one.
178
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,760
I mean, I don't.
I never met the guy.
179
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960
That's fair.
Maybe he sort of steps out of
180
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,880
it.
OK, I.
181
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Rise and shine.
Did that helped?
182
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:42,960
Very much.
Thank you.
183
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,000
OK, again, I'll let you know
anything you want to know.
184
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880
OK.
Anything else anybody can think
185
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,920
of that we need that we can get
out of this guy?
186
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,360
What's going on with Leticia's
face?
187
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,560
I don't know.
I haven't seen her in months.
188
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Well, the last time you seen
her, what'd she look like?
189
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,720
She was wearing a veil.
I didn't see her face, but she's
190
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,960
been doing the recordings down
there in their studio, I guess.
191
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,000
What are they looking for in the
Yucatan?
192
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Right.
I heard about this.
193
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,960
OK, This is what I know.
I'm glad you asked me.
194
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,960
OK, Brooks.
Brooks found out that there's
195
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,120
some ancient religious temple
way out in the Yucatan.
196
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,360
He's got an expedition sent out
there.
197
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,840
He he believes that it'll let
him get in contact with a, with
198
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,040
a, a God.
There's some sort of God that
199
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,600
lives out there.
I don't know if gods could live
200
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,920
somewhere, but it's a place you
could talk to God's temple,
201
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,280
worship, some sort of ancient
thing, gold, something.
202
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,360
Dulcimal.
Gold Ducat.
203
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,360
Golden women.
Golden Girls.
204
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,520
I wouldn't really know.
I actually was the one who had
205
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,400
to pick up the, the deliveries
from the reports coming in and,
206
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,520
and, and gave them to them.
I think the expedition's going
207
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,360
along pretty well.
They had to like negotiate with
208
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,000
the local cattle Baron or
something to, to get through.
209
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,920
He said that it was going to be
something that would let him
210
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,640
speak to his, the God that he
worshipped, the true God.
211
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,840
Although I know you guys
disagree on that.
212
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,320
I'm not a particularly religious
man myself, but you're something
213
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,280
crazy going on.
But I know.
214
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Kronelov said that he wasn't
sure there was a God out there,
215
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,200
but there was something powerful
out there.
216
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Maybe something that can even
kill a God.
217
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,400
I don't know what that meant.
Something that could kill a God,
218
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,280
you say?
Interesting.
219
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Well, I'm sure Trammell would
want that investigated.
220
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Oh.
Oh, you tell Trammell.
221
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,880
You tell Trammell.
This the other thing I heard,
222
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,400
OK, Brooke said I needed to keep
this name a secret.
223
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,760
I overheard him saying it, and
he started to He threatened to
224
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,720
kill me if I ever told anybody
this.
225
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,640
But I'm gonna tell you.
I'm gonna tell you.
226
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,240
So we're cool.
OK.
227
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:20,200
Kailash, Mount Kailash.
Mount Kailash.
228
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,880
Yeah, it's a it's a mountain.
He said that there was something
229
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,560
there, or well, he said that
Trammell thought something was
230
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:33,640
there, or like, pardon the he
said that Trammell thought that
231
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,800
the God was at Kailash, but that
he knew that the God was at the
232
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Yucatan thing.
I don't know.
233
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,320
It's just a bunch of I, I really
don't know.
234
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,960
I don't even know what a Kailash
is.
235
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,400
Well, there's no reason you need
to.
236
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,120
OK, great.
Cool hang.
237
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,720
On one SEC.
Have we heard anything about
238
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,160
such a location?
This might be something that you
239
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,360
need to look up.
I don't know if any of you would
240
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,720
know Mount Kailash off the top
of your head.
241
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,600
Well damn, if only some of us
had library use.
242
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,720
I mean I have library use, I
just don't speak Spanish.
243
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800
I also have library use but
don't speak Spanish.
244
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,240
I have library use and I speak
Spanish.
245
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,240
I bench press a lot.
That is also an important skill.
246
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,320
Technically, so do I.
I'm trying to think if you would
247
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,840
know Kailash from anything else.
If I have anthropology, does
248
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,240
that help?
Have I perhaps flown over it?
249
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,240
Probably not.
Do any of you know about
250
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,400
Buddhism or Hinduism?
No, I've got theology.
251
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,280
I also have theology.
OK, Yeah, you know what, I'll
252
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,600
let you make a spend, a theology
spend to know about this.
253
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,480
I'll make that spend.
Sure.
254
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Do you think you know more about
Buddhism or Hinduism?
255
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Hinduism.
OK, sure, I'll take Buddhism.
256
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:05,520
Yeah, Kailash might be Kaliyosh,
which is the name of a mountain
257
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,880
where Shiva, Parvati and their
children Ganesha.
258
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,040
And well, I don't need to list
all the gods live in Hindu
259
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,360
mythology.
It is a real quote UN quote
260
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,360
mountain.
It's sometimes called Mount
261
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,840
Meru, which is also a idea from
Buddhist ideologies of the top
262
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,360
of the world.
But there is a real mountain in
263
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,800
the Himalayas.
I'm looking at it right now,
264
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,600
it's very pretty.
Yeah.
265
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,400
The Himalayas, huh?
Well, that sounds like the
266
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,760
region we were looking at, yeah.
It's in in 2025 Tibet.
267
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Shall we make a quick trip?
To Tibet.
268
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,080
Yeah, they're in Beck.
I mean the Yucatan is closer
269
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,000
the.
Yucatan is closer.
270
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,800
I mean, presumably Brooks
Recording Studio is closer than
271
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,480
either of those.
Yeah.
272
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Yes.
I have a feeling we're going to
273
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,120
have to check out the Yucatan
eventually anyway.
274
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Yeah.
But our first stop should be
275
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Brooks.
Yeah.
276
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Yes.
By the way, to travel to Tibet
277
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,360
first you would have to like
land in India and then travel
278
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,120
north, and you're going to need
to do some mountain climbing to
279
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,680
get up there.
Oh boy.
280
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Sounds fun.
Yeah, it's the Himalayas like.
281
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,000
What's that kill us all?
Well, and then what do we
282
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,720
think's under that mountain?
Mouth.
283
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,440
The King under the mountain.
Big mouth.
284
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,640
Big Mouth.
Yes, the Netflix show.
285
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,080
That nobody likes.
I've actually heard it's like
286
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,600
fine aside from the animation,
but.
287
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,840
OK, which which band again?
The Jorge and the Fools.
288
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,760
Yeah, yeah, The the band that
you've already heard about.
289
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,640
He thinks that he's going to be
like, really clever to tell this
290
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,720
to you.
But you, you already have this
291
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Javier Luna and his grenade.
Fools.
292
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Right.
Do you happen to know if they're
293
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,480
performing tonight and if yes
then where?
294
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,359
Is it the mint or the pass?
I think they play, is it
295
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Saturday?
They play Saturday nights at La
296
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,200
Paz.
Well, is it Saturday?
297
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,960
Yeah, is it Saturday?
I'm trying to decide if it's
298
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Saturday or not.
Hang on, I'll check my
299
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,599
smartwatch.
It's Friday.
300
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,480
Yeah, that information would be
useful if it was indeed
301
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,880
Saturday.
Well, that's tomorrow.
302
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,400
Like you can see him tomorrow.
OK, so I've told you a lot.
303
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,160
We good, we square.
All right, we're just going to
304
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,040
take you down to the lobby and
introduce you to another friend
305
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,400
of Mr. Trammell's.
Goes by the name of Blanco.
306
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,960
Like.
Dave a what?
307
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Blanco.
We're getting into the cops.
308
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,320
Yeah, why wouldn't we?
Well, we're going to smuggle him
309
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,440
out of here.
I mean, I could just toss him
310
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,720
off the building.
I think Blanco would have more
311
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600
of a problem with that.
After we went through all the
312
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,440
effort of hypnotizing him to
turn his life around.
313
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,520
I'm sure he could really help
the police out right now.
314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,720
He knows Blanco, by the way,
sort of professional courtesy.
315
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,720
He might be more resistant, but
I guess you did just hypnotize
316
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,640
him into being a good, good boy,
so.
317
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,800
Yeah, go do some time.
The war will be over.
318
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Well, we don't know that he's
done anything to do too much
319
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
time.
What was up with the birds, by
320
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,640
the way?
I Brooks commands birds.
321
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,880
How?
I I don't know, he's, he's weird
322
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,920
birds feeds him weird stuff and
then his wife like whispers
323
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,800
things to the birds and then
they go crazy.
324
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,800
Well, doesn't that sound fun?
Yeah, I guess.
325
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,920
Yeah, I saw you guys had some
fun with them earlier, but you
326
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,200
survived, which was why I
figured it was OK to talk to
327
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,800
you.
With a gun in your hand, you.
328
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,480
Got to protect myself.
Kronelov's out there.
329
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,080
And birds.
Oh Conelof.
330
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,920
He's loyal to money, so keep
that in mind.
331
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,920
You might be able to to buy him
out.
332
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,480
He's not a true believer.
Well, that's the answer, isn't
333
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,160
he?
Ted mentioned that he wasn't a
334
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,840
religious sort.
Yeah, yeah.
335
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,640
I mean just like a commie.
Hey this.
336
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:19,360
Is a dead silence.
It's OK, you can say the R word.
337
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,640
What?
Reds.
338
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,800
I think this is.
Pre like red scare.
339
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,680
Well, there are multiple Red
Scares.
340
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,280
The comedy's revolution has
taken place in Russia.
341
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,600
Yeah.
Anyway, so are you going to lead
342
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720
him downstairs to the cop?
Yep, might as well.
343
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:44,240
OK, As you go downstairs, you
see that Blanco has been keeping
344
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,240
the bellhop there, the the
security guard, whatever you
345
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:48,960
want.
To call concierge.
346
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,000
Busy concierge.
He's all these things, wears a
347
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,720
lot of hats.
Yeah, and he says.
348
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,560
All right, so did you find what
you were looking for?
349
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,120
Wait, who's this?
Dell something.
350
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,200
Toro.
He gives a meek wave like hi.
351
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Yes, this fellow was in the
employ of Mr. Brooks and wants
352
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,960
out.
I think he'd be a lot of help to
353
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,520
your investigations going
forward.
354
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,160
Oh, wait, do you?
Oh, I see.
355
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,440
Oh, does he?
You're friends with the police,
356
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,320
he says while he's tapping his
notes.
357
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,400
I see.
I see how this works.
358
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,240
I don't think he does, but you
know.
359
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,640
No.
Oh, I meant to imply that at
360
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,880
some point, but then I never
did.
361
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,640
Glad to see we're all on the
same page.
362
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,640
Yeah, I'll tell you everything
you want to know.
363
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,000
You're going to keep me in
protective custody, right?
364
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,160
Blog is like, sure, come with
me.
365
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,200
We'll keep you safe.
Well, that worked out, yeah.
366
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Another problem solved.
The concierge is furious that he
367
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,680
was never able to get Blanco's
badge number or anything like
368
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,600
that, but says.
He I give him a doggy bag of
369
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:16,920
popcorn for your trouble.
He's sputtering it incoherently
370
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,480
with rage.
Get fucked.
371
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,000
I don't say that in character.
I do well.
372
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,040
You don't speak Spanish, so it's
fine.
373
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
All right, get fucked.
Take a face.
374
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,520
And you, I guess you guys head
out.
375
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,240
So what do you want to do?
What time of day is it again?
376
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,200
It's been a hot minute.
Definitely night, it's night
377
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,720
time.
We have crammed a lot into this
378
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,640
one day.
We.
379
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,320
We had we apparently it is
probably head back to the hotel
380
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,680
time I would think.
You do have a lead on drugs
381
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,400
being sold at the Mint maybe,
but you all are kind of tired as
382
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,680
well.
It's probably for the best if JB
383
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,440
stays as far the fuck away from
that as possible.
384
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,320
Yeah.
All right, as you're headed back
385
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,880
to the hotel, you hear some
music.
386
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,360
Oh no.
What sort of music?
387
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,400
Well, it sounds, it's a little
muffled.
388
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,600
It must be coming from somewhere
inside, but it sounds an awful
389
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,200
lot like the record that you
heard earlier.
390
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,480
But it's a different song.
Yeah, it's a different song.
391
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,040
Do we have an auto playing
record with us?
392
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,840
What?
That record we picked up in the
393
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,160
shrine room, is it auto playing?
It is not, no.
394
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,840
You catch this when you've had
to make a stop somewhere.
395
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:39,800
The engine is still running, but
you're not driving and you hear
396
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,600
this music and then you hear a
gunshot.
397
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Holy shit.
Close fart.
398
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,200
That escalated in a hurry.
From inside around where the
399
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,960
music was playing.
Was it playing from a building
400
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,200
like?
It was playing from a building
401
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,320
right next to you.
OK.
402
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,600
I feel like this is some sort of
plot hook that we could
403
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,360
investigate.
I parked the car.
404
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,360
Yeah, let's, let's go in.
Let's let's investigate this.
405
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,120
Yeah, right.
I mean, you don't have to, but
406
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,080
there are.
No, we don't have to.
407
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,640
We can just go to sleep.
You just go to sleep.
408
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:15,360
That's.
Fine.
409
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,440
Hey everyone, I'll get you back
to the show in just a second.
410
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,480
Just popping in to say we have a
Patreon.
411
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,000
The plan is to keep all our real
content free, but with the
412
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,040
Patreon you'll have access to
the things that are easier to
413
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,640
miss in an audio format, along
with a couple extras like the
414
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,880
Super mid music I make for the
show, scans of Renee's
415
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,480
paintings, and an episode or two
that never made it to air.
416
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,920
We didn't get into this to make
money, but if we could hire an
417
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,800
editor, the rest of the cast
would have no choice but to
418
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,800
release me from the terrifying
editing dimension that
419
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,480
constantly shifts and curdles
when with my feet.
420
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,600
When water comes, it smells
wrong and I haven't seen my
421
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,320
family in weeks.
Once when I was sleeping,
422
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:45,720
something grabbed me and threw
me across the room, but when I
423
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400
opened my eyes there was nothing
there except the computer and a
424
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,360
pile of strange course meat
sustained me for another few
425
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,320
days.
And the echoes and pispers are
426
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,360
pain to remove from my track.
You can find it at
427
00:23:55,360 --> 00:24:00,600
patreon.com/dread Tails.
It's a sort of rundown apartment
428
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,200
building.
As you go in, you see that there
429
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,960
are definitely a lot of people
also coming in from the area.
430
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,920
There's people opening up their
doors and all heading to this
431
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,320
one floor.
They seem to know where things
432
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,760
are going on.
Probably, if that's at this
433
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,200
point, to follow the crowd, let
them lead us to where we need to
434
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,560
be.
Easy enough.
435
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:30,240
You get to the second floor and
there are people all standing in
436
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,600
front of a closed, locked door.
You hear the music coming out
437
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,800
from behind the door.
I smashed the door in.
438
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,840
Oh, you just smashed the door
in, OK.
439
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,720
Yeah, don't need to be sad about
this one.
440
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,720
You see, sitting in the middle
of the room at a table are two
441
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,560
men.
One has a gunshot through his
442
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:56,480
head and he is holding a knife.
That knife is covered in blood.
443
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,840
The other man has his throat
slit and has a gun in his hand.
444
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,680
Double suicide, hate to see it.
Cool.
445
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,360
On people with forensics please.
Yeah, let's investigate.
446
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,080
I've I've got evidence
collection.
447
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,040
I also have forensics.
As you have entered the room,
448
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040
the music is playing.
You can hear it clearly now.
449
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Step one, I take the needle off
the record.
450
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,600
OK, and you take the needle off
the record.
451
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,680
I'll let that be.
I'll let that be.
452
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,160
What have I ruined your plans?
Have I?
453
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,520
No, I was trying to decide if I
was going to make you roll
454
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,920
before you got to turn it off.
Kearns.
455
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,360
It's a really good sounding
record.
456
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,720
It was a different song.
You kind of wanted to listen to
457
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,840
it.
I kind of wanted to listen to
458
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,520
it.
See.
459
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,080
That's bad.
Don't do that.
460
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,760
But it's a nice song.
We can take the record with us,
461
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,160
don't worry about it.
OK, Yeah, yeah, let's do that.
462
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,040
Meanwhile, I'm gonna make sure
that nobody but us enters the
463
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,560
room.
How you plan on doing that?
464
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,400
Here, take my badge.
Oh God.
465
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,120
Sure.
Thanks.
466
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,400
There's no picture on it, so it
doesn't matter who uses it.
467
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,080
OK.
Is there a social skill you're
468
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,280
gonna use there Kerns to?
Keep me.
469
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,680
Yeah, sure.
Intimidation.
470
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Yeah, not a shocker there.
471
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,720
I loom in the doorway, my
shoulders touching either side.
472
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,320
OK, a lot of people are leaving,
but not everybody.
473
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,040
But nobody else is getting
inside.
474
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:29,160
Should I yell at them, get the
fuck out or no?
475
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,560
I will assist using my mythos.
Oh no.
476
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,640
What?
What the fuck?
477
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
I mean, those people are
probably gonna.
478
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,000
You're not gonna be able to get
everybody out of salt.
479
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,120
Yeah, I really don't think so.
I guess you could make an
480
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:46,840
intimidation spend, although
maybe you want to interview
481
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,760
these people.
I don't know.
482
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Yeah.
I'm just gonna stand in the door
483
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,360
and glare at people.
OK, yeah, I'm I'm gonna look
484
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:58,720
around and other people can talk
and interview witnesses.
485
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,040
I'm just gonna see what I can
find in the area.
486
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,920
Make it a simple search.
Any particular skills you're
487
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,800
using?
Forensics and evidence
488
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,680
collection are both things I
have and both things I intend to
489
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,880
use.
OK, which one would you like to
490
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,400
use first?
Let's start with forensics.
491
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,520
All right, so you take a look at
the bodies.
492
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,600
Yeah, these people were killed
beer moments ago.
493
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,880
I kind of gathered that from the
gunshot.
494
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,200
Yes, one from the throat cut and
one from the shot.
495
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:33,400
However, both bodies are covered
in bruises which appeared to be
496
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,280
inflicted over the past a couple
of weeks or so, as if they
497
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,600
didn't drag out fights.
Does my forensic use of assessed
498
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,360
honesty get any different?
Keep on forgetting you can do
499
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:48,520
that.
No.
500
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Okay.
It is pretty clear that they
501
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,480
killed each other just now
though.
502
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Why is a real question.
Yeah.
503
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,480
Like, I was kind of wondering
like, is the, you know, if there
504
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,960
was any noticeable to me signs
that there may have been like a
505
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,800
third party involved who may
have vacated just before we got
506
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,720
here?
Not that you could see the door
507
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,240
was locked when you guys showed
up so.
508
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,280
Makes sense?
What are the liner notes for
509
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,240
this record say?
The record has no label.
510
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,360
It's like a shitty record.
It seems like a poor, warped
511
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,800
reproduction of an original
source.
512
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,440
There are no liner notes on it,
it's just a blank record.
513
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,000
You could listen to it to try to
get the lyrics I guess, but
514
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,600
that, you know, raises its own
issues.
515
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,160
Yeah, let's not fuck with that.
Any Maker's Mark on the record
516
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,040
itself?
Maybe a Studio del Manana?
517
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,240
No, no marks or anything like
that.
518
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Motherfucker trying to be clever
here.
519
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,960
No, no, that you are being
clever, but that's not gonna
520
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,920
give it to you.
Does anybody have craft?
521
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,080
I do.
OK, well when you look at the
522
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,720
record, you'll be able to tell
something about.
523
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,280
It yo bring me that record.
I have a general thing a
524
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,960
question about like this the
room in general.
525
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,040
Looking around, are there any
instruments in this room?
526
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,920
There are not any instruments,
OK, as you bring the record over
527
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,360
to the person who really wants
to listen to it, probably you
528
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,480
recognize that this is something
that was made through a high
529
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,480
quality home recording device
rather than any sort of
530
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,520
professional studio environment.
It's like a like a tape leg,
531
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,960
like you, like you, you're,
you're you.
532
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,720
You get your your tape deck and
you record something that's
533
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,760
playing.
Yeah.
534
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,680
As opposed to like a
professional recording or
535
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,160
something?
Bootleg.
536
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,400
A bootleg.
Yeah, this is a, this is a burnt
537
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,160
recording, Yeah.
Cool.
538
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,560
As you're looking around the
room again, you're not finding
539
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,840
any instruments.
You're not really finding
540
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,160
anything.
It looks like these guys have
541
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:04,080
been here with very little.
There's like some beds here and
542
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,520
some food.
It doesn't look like they've
543
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,640
been living well.
These look like they're very,
544
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,720
they're two very poor men.
As you're looking around your
545
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,360
evidence collection, you find
one of the dead men has an empty
546
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360
bottle in his pocket.
A matching bottle has rolled
547
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,000
under a chair, and several
matching bottles are stacked on
548
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,640
the kitchen counter.
Farmers see or Chemistry would
549
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,200
notice this, but also JB, you
just kind of notice it.
550
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Yeah, I thought so.
This is Nectar.
551
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,440
Yeah, OK.
It's all empty, right?
552
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,880
Well, there might be a little
bit there.
553
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,160
I should go.
They all appear to be empty, but
554
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,760
I think you would probably,
unless you want to make a roll,
555
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,480
try to be getting any nectar out
of it.
556
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,120
Maybe you're trying to pretend
that you're looking to see if
557
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,240
there's any, you know, for
detective purposes.
558
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,960
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm looking
around and trying to see if I
559
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,360
can find any partially filled
bottles.
560
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,400
They have consumed all the
nectar.
561
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Simultaneous fuck and oh thank
God.
562
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,920
Oh fuck God.
Yeah, sure.
563
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,880
That's a different setting.
I mean he does look pretty tasty
564
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,960
on that cross fuck.
Anyway, I'm interviewing some of
565
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,080
the rubber neckers.
OK, what skill are you using?
566
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000
Let's see, I've got everything
but flattery.
567
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,000
This would maybe be an oral
history thing to just be
568
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,040
chatting with people, get the
general story.
569
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,160
You haven't used that in a while
I.
570
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,840
Haven't.
Everybody's accounts are more or
571
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,320
less what you would be thinking.
They heard the gunshot and they
572
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,520
came down.
A couple of the people, though,
573
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,120
you also notice it's mostly
single men who are living here.
574
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,440
One of them says those two guys
are playing the same song over
575
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,440
and over and over and over
again.
576
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,800
I was ready to kill him too.
And then one was just like, you
577
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,080
can't say that.
It's like, fuck them.
578
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,680
Bunch of drug addicts.
Any signs that there had been
579
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,680
trouble in the unit before?
No.
580
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,600
After you guys have spent a
little bit of time here, the
581
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,800
landlord comes up and asks who
the hell you guys are.
582
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,760
Michael Lovesick, FBI.
Grave your boat, Jones, how you
583
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,480
doing?
This man over here is Ding Dong
584
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,240
Snuggle Pug.
Sorry, what'd you say?
585
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,080
Ding Dong Snuggle Pug I.
Don't know what that means.
586
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,560
Ding Dong snuggle bug.
Close enough.
587
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,240
Kearns, absolutely deadpan.
Pleasure to meet you, OK.
588
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,400
Well, now you legally have to
give one to smalls too.
589
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,520
Get get get out of here.
Get get out of here.
590
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:40,920
Yeah.
All right.
591
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,320
Yeah, let's go.
OK.
592
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,680
Yeah, No, I don't.
I don't.
593
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Nothing happened here.
Don't write any of this down.
594
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,960
It's fine.
Get out of here.
595
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,240
It's OK, I've got a phonographic
memory.
596
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,400
What?
Why do you say that everything
597
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,040
is fine when it's clearly and I
sort of look over my shoulder
598
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,640
isn't?
Although they broke in criminals
599
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,040
who broke in and then killed
themselves.
600
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,160
Yeah, All right.
Sure.
601
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,120
Objectively not what happened?
You know what this guy's hey,
602
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,760
OK, assess honesty.
Is this guy stupid or corrupt?
603
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,440
I've had landlords like this
before.
604
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,520
He doesn't want to answer any
questions.
605
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,720
He doesn't want to be
responsible for anything.
606
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,560
He's very stubborn.
You might be able to scare him
607
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,360
or bribe him into telling you
more.
608
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,680
Buddy.
Take it away, my friend.
609
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,040
I crack my knuckles, take a step
closer to this guy, and just
610
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,920
tower over him.
Buddy, you might want to start
611
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,920
talking.
Looks I don't even know their
612
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,440
names.
Lies.
613
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,600
You don't want to see Snuggle
Pug when he's angry.
614
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,440
They come in here to drink their
drugs.
615
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,240
It's all off the books.
They pay me in cash.
616
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,040
I think they're hunting for
their boss or their their wives.
617
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,400
They came in like last month.
They're paying me twice the
618
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,120
going wait for the room each
week.
619
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,440
You can't say no to that.
That's all I know.
620
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,840
They didn't give you any names
at all.
621
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:10,560
No, the drug users trying to
secretly do their drugs in an
622
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,360
off the book apartment.
No, they didn't tell me their
623
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,440
names.
I would use assess honesty,
624
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,400
except that seems pretty likely.
Yeah, but I don't like this
625
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,800
guy's tone though, so.
I also don't like his tone.
626
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,320
But so I'm gonna, so yeah, I'm
gonna go.
627
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,440
I'm gonna very, very gently
brush and nonexistent speck of
628
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,360
dust off of this guy's shoulder.
You might want to watch your
629
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:40,159
tone with me, my friend.
Sorry, I guess I'm just a little
630
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:41,960
heated.
Understandable.
631
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,480
I'm he is visibly shrinking as
this as this is going on.
632
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,600
He was feeling himself for a
little bit and now he's like, oh
633
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,400
wait, no, actually, please don't
kill me.
634
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,480
I'm going to straighten his tie
for him or whatever and I was,
635
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,240
so anything else you know will
be greatly appreciated.
636
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,600
I'm sorry, I don't know
anything.
637
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,000
They go out to get their drugs
and then they come back, I
638
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,920
think.
I'm sorry, JP is like saw you
639
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,520
straighten his tie and he's
like, that's so fucking hot.
640
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,920
I'm not going to pretend that
I'm not showing off just a
641
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:27,000
little bit.
Let continue go.
642
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,640
I don't.
There's nothing else I could
643
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:30,480
say.
I'm sorry.
644
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,960
I believe it that this time.
Get lost.
645
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,560
You got it.
Should I?
646
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,880
You're the police.
Do I need to?
647
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,840
Are you somebody to come for the
bodies?
648
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,400
I said get lost.
You got it, OK.
649
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,240
But we should also definitely
call the real cops too.
650
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,320
Like, Oh yeah, no question.
Yeah, someone did that already,
651
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,680
I'm sure.
Yeah, yeah, the cops will be
652
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,000
arriving.
Well, actually, people are not
653
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,040
calling the cops in this
building.
654
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,120
This building seems to be a
building that keeps quiet.
655
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,680
Yeah, I I know the type.
But the cops will eventually be
656
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680
here, Drew, about the gunshot.
So you got a record.
657
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,040
It's a dead bodies.
It's a empty nectar.
658
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,320
Did anybody check their pockets?
Yeah, when we searched for
659
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,560
evidence.
All they found was nectar.
660
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,000
Yeah.
No ID's, no nothing.
661
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:21,600
No.
Oh, just just a bunch of full
662
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,560
nectar bottles.
No wallets.
663
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,000
I hope.
Like no wallets, nothing at all.
664
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,480
Like just empty pockets.
They had a little bit of cash on
665
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,480
but no identification.
It does make sense that career
666
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,480
criminals wouldn't keep ID's on
them.
667
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,800
Weird thing, their names are
actually Gravy Boat Jones and
668
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,800
Ding Dong Snuggle Pug.
Holy shit Love Shack is still
669
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,760
out there?
I guess you want to get back to
670
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,160
that hotel.
At some point, sleep sounds
671
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,520
good.
I'm going to sleep like a rock.
672
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,520
What?
It was a busy day, it.
673
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,360
Was a busy day.
Yeah.
674
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,480
Yeah, but one of your busiest
days yet.
675
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,480
Attacked by birds, Interrogated
guy.
676
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,960
See some dead bodies?
Like the last time we had a day
677
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,760
this busy we were fucking in
Ethiopia, which granted was our
678
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,480
last arc but like it feels like
ages ago.
679
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,160
You know what I probably should
have had?
680
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,600
You made stability tests when
you saw those bodies.
681
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,000
You'll be fine.
I'll let it.
682
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,560
I'll let it slide this time.
Yeah, we're, we're there,
683
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,880
there's, we're super
desensitized by now.
684
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,280
What?
They weren't gross.
685
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:39,280
They were so friends.
You also have this record.
686
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,280
We also have this record that's
that's not great either.
687
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,040
But here currents you wanted
this.
688
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:46,960
Oh yeah, thanks.
No card.
689
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,240
No, no, no, no.
We have a record player at the
690
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:51,040
hotel, right?
You do have the record player,
691
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,280
yeah.
You listen to the first record
692
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,680
on it.
Oh yeah, let's go listen.
693
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,120
I don't think this is a good
idea.
694
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,520
I'm all tuckered out.
I'll see you in the morning.
695
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,600
OK.
Oh my God, yeah.
696
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,720
So presumably we arrived at the
hotel.
697
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,680
Yeah, you retire to your
respective rooms unless you want
698
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,040
to do something else.
Would like to play the record.
699
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,240
In your in your room, Sure.
It's probably Would I do it
700
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:18,960
alone?
Look, if JB is there, he's
701
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,000
covering his ears and watching
you like a hawk to make sure
702
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,040
nothing bad happens.
And if I go Ferrell, what are
703
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,840
you going to do?
Get torn apart.
704
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,960
I.
In a non sexual way?
705
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:39,360
Oh, maybe smalls?
Do you want to make notes or
706
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,280
something?
Very well.
707
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,480
Thanks friend, appreciate it.
Smalls is going to go to the
708
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,120
front desk.
You said the person at the front
709
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,000
desk speaks English.
Yeah, yeah.
710
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,360
And Smalls is going to ask for
some cotton balls.
711
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,120
It's probably more effective
than me just covering my eyes,
712
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,160
yeah.
Beeswax also works.
713
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,600
Yeah.
Plato.
714
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,160
I don't think they have Plato.
Yeah, I was about to say I don't
715
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,360
think Plato is an offense.
So what's on the record?
716
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,320
You start playing the song, are
you going to be listening to it
717
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,680
closely or are you going to try
to again, we are in the you
718
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,160
could just listen to it, or you
could try to resist it, or you
719
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,600
could plug up your ears.
I'm going to highly encourage
720
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,840
you, as my friend and someone
who has, you know, spent some
721
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,000
time quotes you, to actively try
to resist the pull of the music.
722
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,400
I don't know what you all are so
worried about.
723
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:41,720
It's just some music.
If you want to make out the
724
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:43,320
lyrics, you're going to have to
listen closely.
725
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,280
Yeah, sure.
What's she singing about?
726
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,240
So the song is very similar to
the one that you heard before.
727
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Honestly, if I were to be
reviewing this record, I would
728
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,320
start saying that these songs
are all sounding really similar.
729
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Like that's getting kind of old.
Oh, thank God.
730
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,080
I got you buddy, I got you.
Oh, I understand what's happened
731
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,440
now.
It's a production issue.
732
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,840
I can do a Disney Princess
vocals if need be.
733
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,240
This one is singing a song about
a cuckoo bird.
734
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,680
The metaphor is a little
strained.
735
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,520
They talk about the bird being a
beautiful song, but also having
736
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,360
like a dark secret in that it's
like destroying eggs and
737
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,880
replacing them with its own.
And as you're listening to it,
738
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,160
it's just really, really
soothing.
739
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:44,600
By the way, we gain a point of
stability.
740
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:45,600
Oh.
Nice.
741
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,520
This is definitely a song about
a cuckoo.
742
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:54,760
And I'm a full stability.
Well, as the song ends, you've
743
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,680
entered a post Hypnotic
congestion to convict acts of
744
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,080
random violence.
Oh shit.
745
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,760
Well it's not like he's the most
buff person on the party or
746
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:07,440
anything.
You're going to need that
747
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,280
stability.
Let me figure out the exact
748
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,720
amount that you're going to be.
Distant sounds of Nathan
749
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,480
screaming.
OK, well, that's the thing.
750
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,720
As long as nobody says anything
annoying, I think we'll be fine.
751
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:27,640
Oh no.
OK, so like can I resist that?
752
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,720
No, Oh no.
You listen to the music.
753
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:33,200
You can't resist this.
OK, fair enough.
754
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,280
No.
But like when the urge for
755
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,200
violence comes, Yeah.
Can that be resistant?
756
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:38,720
No.
No.
757
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,760
Oh no.
Yeah, no post hypnotic
758
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,320
suggestions in this system are
kind of cracked.
759
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,440
Yeah.
Yeah, I need to.
760
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:54,240
They're coming up with a plan.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna punch the
761
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,160
person nearest to me.
Oh God, that's me.
762
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:04,600
So Brainwashed 1 here you are
going to take a difficulty 3
763
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,880
stability test with a potential
loss of four.
764
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,000
OK.
That's OK.
765
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,040
So you lose 4 stability.
I don't think you got some back
766
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,280
from listening to this nice
music.
767
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,480
Yeah.
And then which person are you
768
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,520
attacking?
The closest one to me, which I'm
769
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,280
sorry, JB.
OK, Hey JB, you're attacked by a
770
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,240
friend or loved one?
Oh no.
771
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:29,040
Great.
And are you putting labels on
772
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,240
things so.
That's a potential loss of five.
773
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,880
Well, that's why I said friend
or loved one.
774
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,600
FWB.
So.
775
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,080
Difficulty for potential loss of
five.
776
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,280
Oh no shit.
I I am gonna spend 2 to bring
777
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,600
myself down to 1 stability.
I helped don't lose 5.
778
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,000
Good luck.
If I lose this, I'm getting
779
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,080
fucked.
So this is getting fucked -4
780
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,880
baby.
Well, it's not.
781
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,040
The end of the world, at least.
It's the end of the.
782
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,840
World.
Yeah, that's that is accurate.
783
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,840
JB, what's your head threshold?
3.
784
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,880
OK.
Oh, but we'll listen to the
785
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,720
music, it's fine.
What could go wrong?
786
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:19,640
You're now shaken plus one to
all difficulties of anything
787
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,880
that you do cool.
Also flight fight or freeze I'm.
788
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:28,000
Gonna spend a point.
Oh, actually, first Kerns is
789
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,760
gonna punch you, I think.
Yeah, it hit.
790
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,480
OK, roll your damage. -2 I
believe. -2.
791
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,280
Just cuz you're an armed Yeah,
that's -2.
792
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,440
OK, I swing and I miss,
apparently. -1 OK.
793
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,360
I know Doc, you want to do
something I want to see.
794
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,080
Let me go like an order here.
JB, what do you do for the
795
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,520
record?
Freeze.
796
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,360
I am terrified.
Great.
797
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,680
What?
What am I thinking right now?
798
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Like am I acknowledging that I'm
attacking a friend or a loved
799
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,400
one or like I might like just
see see red?
800
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,440
You're just kind of seeing red.
You're just kind of seeing red.
801
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,160
OK, if somebody like sort of
slows you down or stops you, you
802
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,160
could break out of it.
But right now you are needing to
803
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,000
do violence.
Doc, what do you want?
804
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:19,440
To do Oakley Dokley, I am going
to attempt to restrain Kearns
805
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,960
and talk him down.
I'll be using scuffling for
806
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,920
this.
Kearns, I'm pretty sure your hit
807
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,680
threshold is 4.
Yeah, I'm just going to spend 3
808
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,120
points.
Thank you.
809
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,560
You wouldn't expect this, but
Smalls comes up behind Kearns
810
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,600
and puts them in like like a
full Nelson and just kind of
811
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:45,400
pulls them away from JB and goes
hey man, get a hold of yourself.
812
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,480
I'm just grunting incoherently.
I'm not sure I'm saying anything
813
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:51,680
like I'm just OK.
Full Berserk.
814
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,040
Let's have you make another
stability test to see if you
815
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,440
could step out of this.
I'm going to let you know if you
816
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,840
hear this on the the true
record, it's going to be harder
817
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,160
to break out of this, but this
is a shitty reproduction.
818
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,280
OK.
Not that you ever hear the true
819
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,080
record later.
So they could make a roll or
820
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,000
dock.
You could try to break them out
821
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,280
with your psychology skill.
I don't know which one we want
822
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,040
to use, but one of you is going
to need to have to do something
823
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,840
because I believe JB is just
sort of shocked.
824
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,400
Yeah, I was going to ask about
even if what I do just gives a
825
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,960
bonus to Kearns breaking out if
I control psychoanalysis because
826
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,480
like first sentence of the
second paragraph, you can
827
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,520
restore a panic investigator to
a state of calm I.
828
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,360
Think this.
I think that is literally Yeah,
829
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,760
yeah.
Make a psychoanalysis check
830
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:41,880
difficulty.
Three.
831
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,240
All right, I have a bunch in
that.
832
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:49,560
So I you know what, I'm just
going to spend the 2 bringing me
833
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,600
down to 6.
Difficulty 3 and you have a
834
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:56,600
three-point that you could spend
from the dock, so I guess kind
835
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,000
of difficulty too.
What's the potential loss?
836
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,760
You keep attacking.
It's not a loss of stability,
837
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,080
it's you keep.
It yeah, you're just trying to
838
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,920
regain control at this point.
I'll leave it to dice gods.
839
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,080
If I roll A1, it wasn't meant to
be.
840
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,160
I did not roll.
That's a 5.
841
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,160
That's a 5.
OK.
842
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,640
OK, what?
What are you saying to me that
843
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,240
that is helping me to snap out
of this?
844
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,000
Turns.
Look at what you're doing, look
845
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,080
at who you're going after.
What has what has gotten to go?
846
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:32,640
And as the rage sort of
dissipates and I I stop
847
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,560
resisting and I just sort of
lower myself on the floor.
848
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:48,880
Shit.
Thanks for listening and happy
849
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,320
