warnings.
After an interrogation under the

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,360
effects of Doctor Smalls
hypnosis, the investigators

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,560
released the man named Del Toro
to the Mexico City PD and headed

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,760
back to their hotel for some
much deserved rest.

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,240
Before they can make it there,
however, the siren song of

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,600
another hideous record beckoned
them to the scene of a fresh

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,400
murder suicide.
Well, unable to help out on a

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,920
scene, the investigators did
come into possession of another

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,040
record, 1, which unfortunately
drove the pilot into a fit of

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,160
uncontrolled, violent rage.
The die is cast.

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,000
The pact is sealed.
May God have mercy on our souls.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,280
It's Daniel's dread tails.
I'm like maybe that?

16
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:02,260
Is to stop.
Try to stop the wolf.

17
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:09,780
Of.
It what in fantasy fair?

18
00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:12,760
This is a fantastical thing,
yeah.

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,120
Our world is good.
I thought this was a historical

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,120
reenactment.
Yeah, except for all the the

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,080
monsters is.
That why you've been playing

22
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,400
it's.
Supernatural monsters.

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Anyway.
Where do we want to meet our

24
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,880
characters again after a late
night musical succession?

25
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560
I believe that there was a
breakfast suggestion.

26
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Yeah, something, something like
that.

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,880
Because everybody's going to
come down to breakfast and

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,560
Colin's going to be like, hey
guys, what's up?

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Pancakes here are awful.
Talk to yourselves.

30
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Yeah.
OK, so we don't.

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720
That's where we want to start.
Coming down to breakfast works

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,000
for me because if we want to
have any other scenes in the

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,360
evening we could.
But it sounds like breakfast

34
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,320
might be a good place to start.
Always.

35
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:16,840
OK.
That's the most important meal

36
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,680
of the podcast.
Yes, we've been very consistent

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,320
that we need to eat breakfast
and figure out what we're doing

38
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,760
with that.
It's it's almost sweet, the

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,400
routine of it all.
Obviously I am going to

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,880
apologize profusely to JB, but
right now I feel like both me

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,400
and him need some time to
process what happened.

42
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Oh yeah.
So I'm just looking at my plate,

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,240
which has like a slice of bacon
on it and nothing else, and I'm

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,640
not touching it.
And I'm.

45
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Yeah.
On the contrary, I am eating

46
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,160
like a motherfucker.
Mr. Faulk.

47
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,080
Yes.
We are going to have to have a

48
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,480
conversation later.
No, we'll make, we'll make,

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,080
we'll make.
We'll make you say that.

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,280
I twitches slightly.
It's my job to know these

51
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:15,960
things, however, Mr. Kern.
I raise my eyes and look at you.

52
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,880
What happened?
The word devilry comes to mind.

53
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:26,360
I I don't know what happened.
I was listening to the song and

54
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,200
I blacked out.
I, I don't know, I saw a red.

55
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,440
I've never been this angry in my
life.

56
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Colin has stopped me bite on a
tortilla shell slathered in

57
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,440
syrup.
It was just a very intense rage.

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,880
I don't know where it came from.
It just consumed me like a tidal

59
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,560
wave.
That is troubling.

60
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,240
You think?
So all you remember was

61
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,440
listening to the record and then
feeling unreasonably angry

62
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,120
after.
Danielle, is that all I remember

63
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920
or was there something else?
I mean, that's mostly if you

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,000
remember the song and then you
remember Rage.

65
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Yep, that's that's that about
sums it up, yeah.

66
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,480
Do you mind if I try something?
What sort of something?

67
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,280
Do you remember what I did last
night with the gentleman that we

68
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,000
spoke to about Brooks?
You think you can put some ideas

69
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,440
in this old Dome here?
That was less of what I was

70
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:40,800
thinking, but it may help you,
or rather, it may help me figure

71
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,920
out what happened.
Because one minute you were

72
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,240
intently listening to that
record and the next you were

73
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,480
violently attacking one of your
companion.

74
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,960
That's not normal.
No, I mean, yeah, sure, whatever

75
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,240
helps.
And may I attempt to hypnotize

76
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,200
Mr. First?
I don't know if the breakfast

77
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,120
table is the environment for
this.

78
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,720
I mean technically it could be
done anywhere but I'm assuming

79
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,560
we're eating it out in like a
common room type area?

80
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Or are we eating in?
How many other people are in the

81
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,800
room like in the area 4.
Wow, why do you need an

82
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,560
audience?
It would flavor whether or not I

83
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,600
would suggest doing it here or
elsewhere.

84
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,640
I would probably not suggest
doing it here.

85
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,880
In that case, a little bit later
today we will deal with this.

86
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,800
Until then, I will monitor the
situation.

87
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,400
Now that begs the question, what
are we doing today?

88
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,600
Smalls just kind of looks around
the table at everyone.

89
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,720
Well, we could search for Brooks
new hideout.

90
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,320
We do have the general vicinity.
That is, or we could just meet

91
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,640
him at the Mint or Lopez.
We could try to search it out

92
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,560
and go to the club if we fail.
We don't know if he's going to

93
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,080
be there.
We know the band is going to be.

94
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,680
At La Paz.
Also a reminder, maybe you don't

95
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,720
and maybe you don't give a shit
about this.

96
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640
The police said that they were
going to spend the rest of the

97
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,680
night investigating and that
sometime in the morning they

98
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,240
might have pulled up some clues
themselves.

99
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,960
Oh, that seems like a thing to.
Follow I do want to give a

100
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,480
reward to our FBI agents who
conned this very nice inspector.

101
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,720
Yeah, then Colin and I will.
We can check back in with the

102
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,480
police and yeah.
Yeah, maybe they got Brooks.

103
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,040
That'd save us some travelling.
That would that would be nice.

104
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,120
They just arrested Brooks.
We all know that's not how We

105
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,400
all know we're not that lucky.
Now it's like that episode of

106
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,600
The Simpsons where the two kids
that look like Pardon Lisa solve

107
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,360
all the problems and then
everyone just feels

108
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,320
uncomfortable.
Well, how long do you think it

109
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,920
would take for you to touch base
with the police?

110
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,840
I suppose it depends how much
they found.

111
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Yeah, and if they are on to us
or not.

112
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,800
What do you think the jail time
is for impersonating an officer

113
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,320
or a federal agent if you're
actually helpful at it?

114
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,080
If you're helpful at it, I
don't.

115
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Maybe this could be a phone
call?

116
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,880
Yeah, this meeting could have
been a phone call.

117
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Because what I'm thinking is we
probably don't want to approach

118
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,120
Brooks's new hidey hole with
only two of us.

119
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,480
We're probably going to want to
do that together.

120
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Yes.
I think I think I could chance

121
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,280
taking out Brooks and his goons,
however many there may be.

122
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440
That sounds like you're readying
up for a suicide mission.

123
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,200
So what my suggestion is, is you
2 gentlemen can go speak with

124
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:09,080
the police or call them if that
works better for you and Kearns

125
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920
and I can sit down and have a
bit of a conversation.

126
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,760
Works for me.
Yeah, OK.

127
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,720
I shoot JB a look full of I'm
mortified as we leave.

128
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,920
JB notably avoids eye contact.
Yeah, that makes sense.

129
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,440
We're definitely, we're going to
get into this later.

130
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Probably.
Oh yeah, I think we are.

131
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,480
Well, we have a shrink with us.
We could do couples therapy.

132
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600
But for now, the police.
Let's drive down there grave

133
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,840
about.
Otherwise, you're just going to

134
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,000
be watching me talk on the
phone.

135
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,280
OK, you got it.
Love Shaq.

136
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,360
As you head to the police
station, I have an important

137
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,200
question for you.
Oh no.

138
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,520
What is the name of the
detective that you are meeting?

139
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,760
Blanco Or are you talking Gomez?
Gomez is who I was talking

140
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,200
about.
Yeah, there you.

141
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,760
Go.
You remembered Gomez.

142
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,800
I don't know if you remembered
Gomez.

143
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,960
There you go.
Of course we remembered Gomez.

144
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
He was chill.
After he appeared after the

145
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,240
newspaper, he's got a very
memorable name.

146
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,280
You make your way to the police
station.

147
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:18,480
You wave your badges and are
able to get to Detective Gomez's

148
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,520
office.
He looks like he has not slept.

149
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,760
Perfect.
Lots of.

150
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,960
Clues, then.
Gentlemen, come on in.

151
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Nice to see you again, Gomez.
Likewise likewise his large soft

152
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,280
hands are going through all of
the paperwork on the desk.

153
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,480
How do I know?
His hands.

154
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,680
I was gonna say.
Tell us how soft his hands are.

155
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,160
That description is.
I established earlier that he

156
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,440
had large hands.
Now I just added another

157
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,960
adjective to him.
What?

158
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,000
He's got yowie hands.
It's fine.

159
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Why is this the Yowie arc?
How did this become the Yowie

160
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,600
arc?
I think it all started at the

161
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,280
sex store.
I mean, yeah, but.

162
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,320
Sounds like the start to a song.
With the information that you

163
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,720
gave us, I took the initiative.
It just started arresting.

164
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,840
We started rounding up all the
dealers.

165
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,320
We already knew who they were.
We didn't really have a reason

166
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120
to arrest them because Vector
isn't really illegal, but

167
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,560
connecting it to a murder, that
was enough.

168
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,000
We'll charge them later.
They thought that we didn't know

169
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,560
who they were.
We've got eyes all over the

170
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,640
place.
Unfortunately, we don't really

171
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,840
have a location of the source.
This Brooks guy you were talking

172
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,640
about, they usually get a lot of
it in drop off points and they

173
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,560
only work with a, let's see, the
Kronalov guy that you talked

174
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:55,480
about and he pulls out a
photograph of a large scarred

175
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Russian looking dude.
This is him.

176
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Wow.
Yeah, how does he look like a

177
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Russian?
Oh, you can tell.

178
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,200
He does not look Hispanic and
you are making the guess that he

179
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
is Russian because his name is
Kronoff.

180
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,200
Yeah.
Fair enough.

181
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,120
He has a shaved head, cold hard
eyes and yellowing.

182
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,360
We think we know where he is
hiding right now, this Kronoff

183
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,000
guy.
Oh, all right.

184
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,360
Do tell.
Where's that?

185
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800
He has an apartment.
Easy.

186
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,680
Enough.
We were getting ready to arrest

187
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,200
him today, actually.
Well, we might be stopping in

188
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,720
here again tomorrow.
Yeah.

189
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Excellent.
Should we be there for the

190
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,040
arrest?
I well we can check in with the

191
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,880
team and see what their thoughts
are on it.

192
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,400
Right.
Your team, you spoke of the ones

193
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,080
that went after the the del
Toro.

194
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Del Toro actually gave us a lot
of this information that was

195
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,360
very helpful as well.
Yeah, he's in protective

196
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,720
custody.
Oh, and what happened to Mr.

197
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,560
Cortez?
Cortez I How well did you know

198
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,120
Mr. Cortez?
Would you say you were his

199
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,120
friend?
I wouldn't say that, general.

200
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,120
Well, wishers, I suppose.
I I do have bad news.

201
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,120
Estudio del Manana was burned
down last night.

202
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,480
Wow, that's I'm sorry to hear
that.

203
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,640
And his Cortez hit me a lot
harder than I thought he.

204
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,880
Is he was.
So young, Yeah.

205
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,640
He was executed.
Fuck.

206
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,320
Well Chuck another one up for
the nectar.

207
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Cool.
Yeah, yeah.

208
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,040
That's where we have to stop
these people.

209
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Were you able to figure anything
out yourself?

210
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Well, we definitely know that
Brooks.

211
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,320
We are now certain that his wife
is also involved and a.

212
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,840
Couple of skulls we talked to
seem to say the wife is in

213
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,920
charge of the.
It is starting to sound that

214
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,280
way.
Yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of

215
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,640
sense.
He's the face.

216
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Or just the money?
Now.

217
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,520
We still haven't located their
pied out.

218
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,880
We have almost sort, we've got
it down to a, what was it, 910

219
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,400
block area, which is a lot of
space, but it's a lot smaller

220
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,680
than the whole city.
That's great.

221
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,960
Yeah, we could.
And I point out on a map the

222
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,440
area.
That's one of the older parts of

223
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,680
town.
OK.

224
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,720
There's also a band involved,
Javier Luna and his Grinning

225
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Fools.
They would probably know where

226
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,360
it is.
OK, do you know where this band

227
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,760
is?
I know they'll be playing at La

228
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,320
Pez tonight.
Oh well, we could bring them in

229
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,440
for questioning.
I'll send my boys to the club

230
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,400
tonight.
Bring them in.

231
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,120
I mean, unless, unless you want
it.

232
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,560
I don't know.
This is a bigger case that I've

233
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:49,040
ever worked on before.
I understand that this is

234
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000
personal to you guys.
I.

235
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,680
Detective, I just want you to
know here and now that out of

236
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,640
every person, every cop we've
ever worked with, you have been

237
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,600
objectively the most helpful.
I am not saying this to flatter

238
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:12,200
you, this is completely true.
OK, well I was going to have my

239
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
task force try to arrest
Kronelov instead.

240
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,400
I could have the focus on
searching the area to see if we

241
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,960
could find Brooks's hideout.
What do you think we should do?

242
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,280
You guys might be better suited
to, you know, a search for the

243
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,560
place you got more manpower than
we have.

244
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,680
We do, yes.
What do we know about this place

245
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,960
besides that it's in the area?
Well, it's underground.

246
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,600
They try to keep people
oblivious to its whereabouts

247
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
when they bring them in.
The reason we only have a radius

248
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,960
instead of an actual location is
they put a bag over our friend's

249
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,320
head when they brought him in.
Oh, that's going to make

250
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,880
searching pretty hard.
We'll try to see if we.

251
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400
I suppose we've got a license
plate or two we could give you

252
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,000
as well.
Keep an eye out for those.

253
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,160
Yes, I forgot about those.
Wait, which license plate?

254
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,680
We were at the burned down
record store.

255
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,800
There was somebody watching us.
We took down the plate.

256
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,000
Oh, I'll let you guys know.
That was Del Toro's car.

257
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,640
There was a reason, maybe it's a
company car, so they came to

258
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,280
pick it up after we got him.
Yeah, Del Toro was the guy that

259
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,000
the Doctor waved to back at the
beginning of all this.

260
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
This, uh, terrified him,
thinking that the colt was

261
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,000
coming for him.
That's he was right.

262
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,040
So funny.
That's so funny to know that

263
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,560
there's like this weenie
motherfucker, which was the guy

264
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,960
and Smalls scared the shit out
of him.

265
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,520
Smallzy the Ballsy.
If you think there's any more

266
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,760
information, you can squeeze out
a Del Toro mention.

267
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,600
Trammell's unhappy with him.
This is one of the guys up in

268
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,280
the States here that we're
having trouble with.

269
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,560
I'll mention it.
He seemed very willing to help,

270
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,280
but yeah.
I wonder what that's about.

271
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Well, is it just?
Me or have we been killing it

272
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,880
these past couple of days, guys?
It almost feels like we're

273
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,920
overdue for a humbling Yeah.
Yeah.

274
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240
You know, Brooks might suck at
this.

275
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,800
This might be the shitty arm of
the cult.

276
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,280
He might be going up against the
moron.

277
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Accidentally skipped the second
level and went straight for the

278
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,920
hard stuff.
Yeah, that's that's in character

279
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,880
for us.
I mean, watch out for the music

280
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,480
that makes you kill each other,
though.

281
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,720
Yeah, anyway, I guess.
Do you think it would make more

282
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,560
sense to bring this chronal off
guy in or should we follow it?

283
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,720
Or do you want to follow him?
I worry that my boys are not

284
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,080
always the most subtle.
I am a pretty deft handed

285
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,520
shadowing people, so yeah, I
think I can handle that.

286
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,400
If we can follow Chronal off,
that might lead us while you

287
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,079
guys have the manpower to do a
more wide search.

288
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,680
We'll do what we can, looking
for underground buildings.

289
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,480
It's kind of a broad search, but
that's our job, OK?

290
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,800
It's a pleasure working with
you.

291
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,520
If we find it, the number we can
call.

292
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,400
You were saying at the LA
Cucaracha, right?

293
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,240
We tried to call.
We weren't able to get in touch

294
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,480
with you.
That was a cover.

295
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,840
We've run into some more
nefarious police in the past so

296
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,680
wanted to make sure things were
on the up and up before, oh you

297
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,320
knew where we were sleeping.
Oh no, I guess so.

298
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,680
Again, you have been wonderful.
I'm, I'm just trying my best.

299
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,280
I've, I've, I figured, you know,
there's gotta be at least one or

300
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,600
two decent cops in the world
maybe.

301
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,720
I mean, I'm totally violating
people's civil rights to do the

302
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,440
things that I am doing.
But you know.

303
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,880
Oh, that reminds me, did you get
that backdated warrant for the

304
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,760
hotel?
Oh yeah.

305
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Absolutely.
We're doing so many crimes.

306
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,320
Well, I think that about
concludes our business for the

307
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,840
moment.
See.

308
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,720
It's so fast.
What's your real number?

309
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,760
Yeah, we're staying at Fancy
Hotel.

310
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,520
Oh.
All right, El El fancier hotelo.

311
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,200
Yeah.
That's the one.

312
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,320
Well, I'll have my task force
search that area you gave me,

313
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560
and then we'll bring in Javier
Luna.

314
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,080
We'll send some folks over there
tonight to bring them in.

315
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,520
All right, if you run into Miss
de la Luz, it may be best to

316
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,600
hang back and let us handle
that.

317
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:50,600
She's very because of reasons.
Well, if we do locate them,

318
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,840
we'll be going in with a full
force.

319
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720
Oh, all right.
You guys are a heavily

320
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,120
militarized police force, right?
I think so.

321
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,880
Send it.
A dozen people should be able to

322
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,440
handle some criminals.
Fair enough.

323
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,560
We're really the best.
I'll lead the operation, yeah.

324
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,560
He's.
Going to die, God.

325
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,000
I.
Really like them.

326
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,560
Because big, hot, soft hands.
Yeah, just be careful.

327
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,960
Don't worry, I could take care
of myself.

328
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:29,400
Oh no, we lost Nathan.
Do you, do you think at like at

329
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,200
some point you could like cover
a house with the amount of death

330
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,360
flags that were just raised, you
know?

331
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,120
Red shirt Interesting choice for
a police officer.

332
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,000
Yeah, no, it's my lucky red
shirt.

333
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,160
Oh no.
It's so if we ever do get into a

334
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,120
shootout, Blood doesn't show it
at its match.

335
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,000
Of course, yes, that explains
the brown pants as well.

336
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,920
Oh God, I was about to stay the
same.

337
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Yeah.
I am so sorry for my partner.

338
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,960
Anyway, we'll be on our way all
right.

339
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,560
I'll leave Kronolov to you, and
if you could talk to Javier and

340
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,280
Luna before my folks get in
there, that might also be good.

341
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Again, they're well meaning men,
but they're not exactly subtle.

342
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,200
I'm worried that this group,
once they see that their dealers

343
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,440
have been arrested, are going to
start cutting off all the loose

344
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,640
ends.
Oh my.

345
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,400
Yeah, that tracks.
Yeah, they've done that before,

346
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,520
I suppose.
Adios.

347
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,480
Adios.
As you're leaving, you you see

348
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,960
the Lieutenant that you saw last
night, Blanco, getting ready to

349
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,480
lead the search operation.
All right, back at the hotel.

350
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:40,760
How?
How are you guys?

351
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Doing Yeah.
So that was my, that was my

352
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,480
fourth pony.
We we were ranchers, you see.

353
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,160
Interesting.
Yeah, yeah, I love horses, man.

354
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,840
I I love horses.
I love all the things that go

355
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,920
fast, I suppose.
The wind in your face, the vast

356
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,160
open space in front of you.
That's quite understandable.

357
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,440
That feeling of freedom that
that would provide is is a

358
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,240
powerful thing.
That's it.

359
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,360
That's exactly it.
Freedom.

360
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:17,160
Now to address the elephant in
the room, we should probably

361
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:25,920
speak about last night.
So what I would like to do is to

362
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,120
put you under using some of the
hypnosis techniques that I have

363
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,760
and help you recall the moments
before everything went red, as

364
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,040
you say, so that we might better
understand what is going on

365
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,200
here.
OK, I'm going to warn you though

366
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,360
I'm not very suggestible.
Well, I mean, it's the same

367
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,360
difficulty for everybody.
No, I know, I'm just setting up

368
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,160
for a bit.
Oh yeah.

369
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800
There, there is a very good
chance there there is a, you

370
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,720
know, a chance that I will not
succeed.

371
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,320
So do you want me to just roll
the difficulty for recovering

372
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,000
memories or do you want me to?
No, I think that works just

373
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,560
fine.
Yeah, just to recover memories.

374
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,800
Yeah, but difficulty 4I can't
promise you're gonna get tons of

375
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,040
clues from this, but you'll get
a little.

376
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,280
OK, in that case I am going to
spend one point, so there is my

377
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,600
4.
I think I go, you're trying to

378
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,720
put me to sleep or something.
Then I go, yeah, I'm not.

379
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:29,120
I'm not very easy to put.
Motherfucker went down.

380
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,360
So I would set it up that you
know, you're you're listening to

381
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:34,760
the record.
What are you feeling?

382
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,280
What are you hearing as it's
ending?

383
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:41,520
Because that logically is where.
Where everything went to shit,

384
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,600
Yeah.
So what would I get to?

385
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:50,720
Mostly what you already saw,
Yeah, but as she's remembering

386
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,680
why, she's getting angry.
Who?

387
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,440
Excuse me, while Kurds is
remembering why they were angry,

388
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,840
apologize, got that twisted.
They're recalling a voice.

389
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,960
They they're hearing a voice.
The voice on the record was

390
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,240
changing as they listened
quickly and it was telling them

391
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:16,920
to strike and kill and destroy.
And in fact, you almost know you

392
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,520
did see for a moment the mouth
that was saved.

393
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,320
It was coming from what might
have once been a face, but

394
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,640
instead was opening out to
express itself.

395
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,800
A maw that covered an entire
face.

396
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:37,680
Holy shit.
You see it and you know what,

397
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,560
Mr. Kearns?
Yeah.

398
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,920
You can try to avoid thinking
about this because this is going

399
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,120
to be spooky, it's going to mess
you up.

400
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,200
Or we could try to get deeper.
Would you like to go deeper?

401
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,480
Question is it going to make me
try to fight the good doctor

402
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,080
here?
No, it will not.

403
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:00,080
It may affect your stability and
maybe even your sanity.

404
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,120
Well, as long as I'm not harming
anybody else.

405
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,240
I used to try and run away from
those kind of thoughts and those

406
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,680
kind of dreams.
But practice shows that avoiding

407
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,080
these things doesn't solve
anything.

408
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,000
So let's go deep.
OK.

409
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,200
Hey everyone, we here at
Daniel's Dread Tails have a

410
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,840

00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,200
join in on our monthly streams
and be introduced as an angry

419
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,560
clockwork like if that's what

00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,160
So please, if any of that sounds
appealing to you, then join up.

421
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,800
We'd love to have you and your
money too much.

422
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,320
Fair enough.
All the same, do consider.

423
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,280
Thanks for listening and back to
the show.

424
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,920
It's going to be a loss of four
difficulty 4.

425
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,440
If you fail, you will also lose
1 sin.

426
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,440
I must spend 1.
You can do it.

427
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,040
I believe in, you see.
Oh you can fucking 7.

428
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,160
God damn.
That is A7.

429
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,480
OK, this thing is terrifying,
but you steal yourself.

430
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,920
And in fact, in some ways, while
this abyss is gazing at you, you

431
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,480
are gazing back, sort of the
reverse of how that works

432
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,920
usually.
And you see that they are in a

433
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:46,920
room with ancient stonework.
It looks like.

434
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,520
It looks like some sort of
ancient stonework, Really old

435
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,120
symbols all over it.
If it's a temple, I have a bit

436
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:57,280
of theology.
Yes, but theology would not help

437
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,720
with this.
But I understand.

438
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,840
OK, well, can I can I recognize
if it's a temple?

439
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,040
It could be a temple, It could
be a.

440
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,560
Temple.
OK, but I'll take it.

441
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,680
Yeah, but you could be able to
describe this to someone, but it

442
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,760
looks like ancient construction,
ancient brick and stone is the

443
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,800
place where this creature is.
OK, and the creature is.

444
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,920
Taylor Luz.
It's Taylor Luz.

445
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,200
Yeah, OK.
It's the singer.

446
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,840
Is she doing anything?
She's moving.

447
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,800
She's singing.
Oh, she's singing.

448
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:29,760
Yes, you are seeing her sing,
but at the same time she's

449
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,400
singing, you can hear the voice.
You hear another voice, a deeper

450
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:40,080
voice saying destroy, kill,
crush, break.

451
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,720
You know you need, you know you
want stuff like that encouraging

452
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,280
you to do the violence that you
did.

453
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,800
There you go.
Alrighty, so the last thing I

454
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:57,080
would like to attempt is post
hypnotic suggestion if Renee

455
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,680
you're cool with that.
Yeah, sure, if they hear this

456
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560
voice again.
Direct the violence against the

457
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,800
source of the voice turned it.
Off actually, I'll go with

458
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,400
Renee's suggestion that the
violence or actions are to be

459
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,240
directed towards the source of
the voice.

460
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,040
OK.
What were you going to do?

461
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,000
I was going to have to suggest
like to find a way to resist it,

462
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,400
but I like your suggestion
better.

463
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,240
For this suggestion to be useful
against the power of the voice

464
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:31,400
difficulty 5 OK.
I will spend one more point, the

465
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,720
last point that I can spend in
that, but it's fine.

466
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,240
That gives you a 50 shot of
making.

467
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,160
It Nope, I can't do it.
I don't know if it works or not.

468
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,040
Turns comes back out of it.
You have the voice of a man.

469
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:53,680
This is the voice of the God.
Do I still get the effect of

470
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,880
establishing analytic rapport?
Basically all that is, is once

471
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,840
I've successfully hypnotized a
patient, my psychoanalysis pool

472
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,880
increases by three if I use it
on them.

473
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,240
Yeah, for them, yeah, you have.
You have psychoanalysis

474
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,640
specifically that you need to
use on.

475
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,520
Currents perfect.
Cool, thanks.

476
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Eventually, if everybody
survives, I'll try to hypnotize

477
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,240
everybody.
I just have to find reason.

478
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:21,720
Well, this was a pretty good
reason, yeah.

479
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,080
Do I wake up refreshed?
Yeah, I'd say no.

480
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Oh no.
You saw a horrible.

481
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,160
Creature.
That makes sense.

482
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,800
I wake.
I wake up in like I wake up in a

483
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,480
shudder.
What a miss.

484
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,040
Yeah, normally you would make me
feel better.

485
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,280
You do not feel better.
Well, that sucked onwards.

486
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,120
I think we should wait until
everybody else is gathered for

487
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,320
what I have to say here.
Hey, look, everyone's gathered.

488
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,960
Colin walks into the hotel.
Nobody's around because this

489
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,200
took place in a different room.
Yeah, let's have the gang get

490
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,880
back together.
Here so I have figured out a

491
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,000
little bit of something about
those records.

492
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:13,560
What they seem to be doing is
implanting some sort of

493
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,960
suggestion in the people that
listen to them.

494
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,800
This one obviously was meant to
incite violence.

495
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:27,360
In my professional opinion, it
may be best going forward if we

496
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,880
refrain from listening to any of
these records.

497
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Well, maybe it was just because
it was a bootleg.

498
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,480
Maybe it's some sort of copy
protection?

499
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,880
I don't think that's how it
works.

500
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Yeah, hope not.
I am pretty sure that is not the

501
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,080
case.
How did everything go on your

502
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,320
end?
Swimmingly.

503
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Yeah, shockingly well, yeah.
And then we just go over

504
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,720
everything that happened.
I think I'll take Kearns to go

505
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,040
look for Konalov.
So you guys go do something that

506
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,920
doesn't involve reading or
talking to people?

507
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,840
Or listening to any music.
Of course, yes, any music.

508
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,080
Or maybe four people go fight
Konalov.

509
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,320
I was going to say this does
like we should at least be on

510
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,040
standby so that.
Up to you, I figure.

511
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,480
I've got shadowing.
Kearns has muscles, and the two

512
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,800
of you are.
Hello.

513
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:28,360
Well, I mean, I did hold Kearns
back from pummeling JB last

514
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,280
night.
Yeah.

515
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,520
Really.
Yeah.

516
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,560
Yeah.
And thank you for that.

517
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,520
Again, all right.
I I was figuring what happened

518
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,080
by context, so this is my first
time hearing about that.

519
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,600
OK, so you didn't know anything
when you said the copy

520
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,040
protection thing.
That was just a genuine off the

521
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,440
Dome colonism, huh?
That was OK.

522
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,800
Cool.
Well, also, would Colin even

523
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,400
know what copy protection is?
Of course, work many a case on

524
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,120
it.
Copyright infringement cases.

525
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,800
They can't all be incredibly
interesting cases.

526
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,240
To the contrary, I think
copyright law is fascinating,

527
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,160
but it's a topic for another
day.

528
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,600
So everybody wants to go after
Cronulla.

529
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,840
It might be for the best.
It might be for the best.

530
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,560
Yeah, you gotta fill the day
somehow.

531
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,200
Yep.
All right, let's do this.

532
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,520
And also when the GM is
suggesting to not split up the

533
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,480
party, it's generally a good
idea to not.

534
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Split up.
I just didn't know if you, I

535
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,720
know legitimately, I just didn't
know what other lead to follow.

536
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,480
I, I guess you should go to La
Paz like before they open up and

537
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,440
talk to like the management and
stuff there.

538
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,800
You could get something out of
that.

539
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,160
But I, I just was, I guess
that's another lead you could

540
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,880
follow.
I'm not trying to say that you

541
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,880
shouldn't, you know, I shouldn't
split up the party.

542
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,880
That was not a if you don't
split up the party, you'll all

543
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,640
die.
Although maybe it is, I don't

544
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,840
know.
We park a couple blocks away

545
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,520
from where everywhere we're
directed to go, and then we

546
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,520
split the party.
Tronolov is living in a

547
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,640
townhouse close to the area
where the cops are searching for

548
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Brooks's hideout.
Stands there isn't.

549
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,320
Yeah, you're parked a couple
blocks away.

550
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,080
How do you want to approach us?
Sneak fully shadowing if I can

551
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,760
because I still don't have any
stealth.

552
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,440
That would be if you want to
stay there, watch for Kronelov

553
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,640
and if he leaves, follow him.
I hate to say it, but I have

554
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,520
some stealth.
I mean.

555
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,040
Following Krona Love was kind of
my plan anyway.

556
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,840
Oh, OK, because I honestly
thought we were beating him up.

557
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,040
No, I I believe the plan is to
follow him to try and learn.

558
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,000
OK, well I'm glad we're all on
the same page now.

559
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,320
You could lead us to the new
studio or well, he could just be

560
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,200
laying low because the police
are active, reasonably close by.

561
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,560
We could just run in there and
bumble him.

562
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,680
Now you're talking my language.
Colin puts up his Duke.

563
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,520
You're what?
Well, normally it would be

564
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,120
Dukes.
Oh shit.

565
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,400
You guys don't remember that you
have A1 armed friend?

566
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Yeah, I I feel bad for laughing
at it.

567
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,960
I do.
I say these things to remind

568
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,640
myself as well, yes.
Right.

569
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,400
Maybe you should hang back, hey?
Oh, I'm still all right in a

570
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,240
fight.
Also, I've got a gun now.

571
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,480
Oh.
OK, there you go.

572
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Yeah.
You would have to.

573
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,480
Put 2 points in fire.
Yes, you don't have a left.

574
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,240
Yep.
Well, you motherfucker.

575
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,200
So shall we see if Mr. Cronilov
is home?

576
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,360
Sounds like a job for Kearns.
Let's case to join first.

577
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,560
Like how's it looking like?
Are there any security?

578
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,520
Are there any people I don't
know in general milling about?

579
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,120
You know, we've talked to a lot
of landlords recently.

580
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,480
Maybe we should see if there's
been a whole lot of construction

581
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,240
or whatnot going on at the unit.
It's a townhouse.

582
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,800
It's, it's a free Yeah.
It's not a, it's not an

583
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,440
apartment.
So that's what I'm wondering,

584
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,760
like what's the fence situation
like?

585
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,840
Are there any creepy gargoyles?
There are not any creepy

586
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,920
gargoyles.
It does have a Stonewall with a

587
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,880
gate around.
However, as you are walking by,

588
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,120
maybe kind of surreptitiously,
you notice that there are at

589
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:19,239
least five cars parked behind.
OK, Any dogs?

590
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,120
Not that you can hear.
But about birds, Any crackles

591
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,840
around?
You hear birds chirping.

592
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,480
Are they colorful birds?
No, they're black birds.

593
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,920
But I see what you did.
There, All right.

594
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,080
So that's concerning.
Yeah, on a power line beer, the

595
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,600
place you see it is covered with
black birds.

596
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,000
Not going to think too hard
about it.

597
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,199
Should we just?
Can we just knock?

598
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:47,239
You said there were five cars
out front.

599
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:51,040
Yeah, of this one townhouse, I
think townhouses, I think

600
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,320
several are not lying.
I guess maybe townhouse isn't

601
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,680
quite the way to describe it.
You know what it is a modern

602
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,880
looking townhouse.
The buildings nearby, however,

603
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,400
have been torn down.
This is sort of a seedier part

604
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,360
of town where a lot of buildings
have sort of been collapsed.

605
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,040
It's going through a little bit
of Urban Development at the

606
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,960
moment, and it looks like the
person who owns this house,

607
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,480
presumably Kronolov, tore down
the two nearby houses and built

608
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,480
a big old Stonewall around his
place and built a bigger house.

609
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:24,920
Tall.
Yeah.

610
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,440
Oh, looks like we need to employ
siege tactics.

611
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,000
I have craft I couldn't make a
wooden horse of.

612
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,200
Course, then we all hide in it.
Yeah, come out at night and slit

613
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,840
all their throats.
That would make this easier.

614
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,400
Of course, if we're going the
violence route, we could just

615
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,920
burn the place down from out
here.

616
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,720
Do we have any dynamite left?
No.

617
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,160
Well, there goes that plan.
Shit.

618
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,680
Molotov.
Molotov.

619
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,640
I kind of want to call the cops
here.

620
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,280
Well, the cops know we they sent
us because we can be sneakier.

621
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,360
Oh, that's why the plan was to
shadow him, because that's

622
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,720
easier for a small group of
people to do.

623
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,640
Yeah.
OK, then let's go with the

624
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,840
original plan.
Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

625
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,040
We lie in wait.
Stakeout Baby.

626
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,840
Yeah.
We've still got many hours

627
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,200
before it's time to hit the
club, so you know.

628
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,000
I guess shadowing you can make a
shadowing role to do your

629
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
stakeout.
What's the difficulty?

630
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,160
Difficulty 3.
OK, really spend a point on

631
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,160
this.
You don't have to.

632
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,640
That's a fun.
You got it.

633
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,720
You didn't.
I didn't have to.

634
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,080
Keeping an eye on this place,
you see that at one point a

635
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:46,240
group of three Tufts go up and
are called to be let in, and you

636
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,720
see Kronalov come down to the
gate and tell them to come in.

637
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,280
It seems like they are holding
up here for a while.

638
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,720
However, you do occasionally see
Kronalov and he keeps just sort

639
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,640
of sticking his head out by the
gate, like he opens up the gate

640
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,160
and like, looks around like he's
looking for some.

641
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,160
Interesting.
But your shadowy role has meant

642
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,000
that he did not notice you.
That's good.

643
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,680
Yeah.
So kind of sounds like you might

644
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,600
be expecting Brooks or De La
Luz.

645
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,520
Maybe after about an hour you
hear shouting from Pranalov.

646
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,320
You can't quite make it out.
And then you see a dozen of the

647
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,720
men leave and go out in groups
of three, presumably for some

648
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,160
instance.
That's four of the cars gone.

649
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,680
This might be our chance all.
Righty.

650
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,960
OK, be sneaky.
Sense trouble.

651
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,600
Oh.
What's the difficulty?

652
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,040
3.
The one skill everybody has

653
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,320
covered.
I am going.

654
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,840
Just spent two points.
All right, I'm going to spend 1.

655
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,120
Only one of us has to so.
Haha, I succeeded.

656
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,160
OK, So what?
What trouble, Dan?

657
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,680
Yeah, what?
What's the trouble?

658
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:03,560
Do you notice Kronalov seems to
be going into a secret passage?

659
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,240
There is actually like literally
apparently this cult likes

660
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,000
fucking secret passages and
false walls and stuff.

661
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,840
He fucking moves a false tree
and goes down some steps into

662
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,040
the tree.
Huh.

663
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,440
OK, Yeah.
We got to follow him.

664
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,920
Shadowing.
Well, first you have to get

665
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,000
through the gate.
Hey, Karen, let's go check if

666
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,600
that's an electrified gate.
Wow.

667
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:39,440
I mean, sure, unzip my flight.
No.

668
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,720
What if you pee on it?
It'll sparkle.

669
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:51,000
You could also look for wires.
It does not appear to be

670
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,520
electric.
I'm not going to say how you

671
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,320
figured that out, but it does
not appear to be electric.

672
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,160
No, we're good.
We're we're good.

673
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:05,880
So this gate is it like chain
link, easy to climb over those

674
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,720
those real pointy things that
mess people up every so often.

675
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,320
It's got pointy things at the
top, OK.

676
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:17,000
The gate itself however, just
has like a padlock on a chain.

677
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,080
Who here can lock pick again?
Call it.

678
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:20,760
We could just.
Do that.

679
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,080
Yeah, sure.
Let me break the lock.

680
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,240
This is some personal property
I'm not particularly concerned

681
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:30,000
about keeping intact.
OK, if you want to be sneaky

682
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,320
about this, I'm going to need
you to make a stealth roll while

683
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,760
you're doing.
Might as well.

684
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,840
Difficulty 3.
That's a 5 Yahtzee.

685
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,240
OK.
I've got really lucky with

686
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,680
stealth rolls.
Yeah, considering you have no

687
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,960
points in stealth.
Yeah, I understand the general

688
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,800
idea of it.
You get it open, nice and easy.

689
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,240
Well, I'm glad I didn't have to
climb over that.

690
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,800
Yeah.
Yeah, OK, next step.

691
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,960
We follow him through the secret
passage.

692
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,440
Well, we could wait for him to
come out.

693
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,200
Saves us some walking anyway.
That's operating under the

694
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,640
assumption that this is the only
exit.

695
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,040
Yeah, besides, I am intensely
curious as to what's on the

696
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,280
other end.
Yeah, if this like, opens up to

697
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,480
somewhere in town, we've lost
him forever.

698
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,800
Well, he hasn't seen us, so
presumably he'll come back at

699
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,520
some point, but I'd take your
meaning.

700
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,880
Yeah.
Who wants to do the honors?

701
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,760
I'll lead the way.
You don't see an obvious way to

702
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,480
open this, though I suppose you
have your own ways of doing

703
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,760
this.
I mean.

704
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,760
We saw, we saw him push the
thing right?

705
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,560
Yes, though we probably pulled
some sort of lever or something

706
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:36,720
to to open it, but you could try
to just smash it open.

707
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,520
I've got evidence collection and
forensics.

708
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,640
Can I like find it?
Yeah, you know what?

709
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,360
Sure.
That's that.

710
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,160
That's how that would work.
You find there's just a like a

711
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,640
knob on the tree essentially
that you push in.

712
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,840
All right.
The GM over here thinks I'm a

713
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:59,000
knob smashing it open.
I I just know you guys like

714
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,000
direct decision sometimes.
Sometimes.

715
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,600
Sometimes we don't.
That's insulting, Daniel.

716
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,600
I mean.
We're at least.

717
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,200
Might surprise you, but go
ahead, Damien.

718
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,880
We're at least.
Trying to be sneaky this time.

719
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,520
Yeah.
Yeah, might surprise you, but I

720
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,640
also understand the general idea
of stealth.

721
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,800
OK, OK, I'm loving it.
I think you have more stealth

722
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,880
points than call it actually.
So yeah.

723
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,000
I have two.
Yeah, I think everyone has as

724
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,280
many or more points.
I have 5.

725
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,280
How long have I had five
Stealth?

726
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:40,960
To not be heard by Kronelov as
you're going down stone stairs

727
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,040
leading a little bit deeper into
the earth.

728
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,920
I'm going to need a one more
difficulty 3 stealth check.

729
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,080
From everyone.
Anybody's planning to go down?

730
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,040
I spend 2.
Now you could do like a

731
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,400
cooperative test if you would
like.

732
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,200
That may be an idea, yeah.
If everybody just like.

733
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,120
Just thought you would be
cooperative.

734
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,200
This would be a piggyback.
SO1 investigator is designated

735
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,840
as the lead and all of the other
investigators have to spend one

736
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,320
point in the tested ability.
Those points are not added to

737
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,120
the test roll and then only one
person has to succeed.

738
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,640
I cannot spend a sales point.
That it will be a + 2 difficulty

739
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,960
on the chat.
Yeah, because I have 0 stealth.

740
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,800
So would that be plus 4
difficulty?

741
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:29,240
It would be plus 4 difficulty,
yes.

742
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,000
And what'd you say the
difficulty was?

743
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,280
3.
So +4, that's seven, yeah.

744
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,040
Cool, I'm just going to spend
all five of my points.

745
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,200
OK.
Roll A1.

746
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,480
Roll A1.
Stop it you.

747
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:54,600
Know you son of a bitch.
I control the horizontal and the

748
00:42:54,600 --> 00:43:00,080
vertical.
As probably people could guess,

749
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,040
Nathan just rolled A1.
Yeah, which is unfortunately a

750
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,040
failure.
I don't know which one of you

751
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,640
makes the noise as you're going
down.

752
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:13,080
In fact, it's.
Colin, however, it is because

753
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,840
I'm mad.
Sorry, I think it was those

754
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,200
pancakes.
It's not so loud that you notice

755
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,240
that you have been hurt.
Fuck.

756
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:27,000
You go down about a story and
you find a very modern looking

757
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,520
garage.
There is a large truck that has

758
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,280
been that's full of wooden
boxes.

759
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,120
Actually it looks like it's
being loaded full of wooden

760
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,880
boxes part way through.
Oh.

761
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,280
Boy.
Yeah, it's another warehouse.

762
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:46,200
And we said Kearns was right.
Yeah, I would.

763
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,520
I would probably be going first.
OK.

764
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,880
Kronalov, hiding behind a table
that he is knocked down, opens

765
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,720
fire with a Tommy gun.
All righty.

766
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,240
Shit.
Yeah, well, damn.

767
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,000
Can I just yell get down and
then he can fire on me?

768
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,000
Yeah.
OK, yeah, get down.

769
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,080
Get down.
I am down.

770
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,440
My head threshold is 4.
OK, he's going to spend 2

771
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,240
firearms points.
If he rolls A1.

772
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,880
He did not.
He did not roll A1, not quite.

773
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:21,160
You are close range so he's
going to do plus one damage on

774
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,600
his role against you.
That's.

775
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,200
That's at six total.
This is why we put the person

776
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,960
with the most health in front.
That's fine.

777
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,560
Well, according to Plant.
OK, so I'm at 4.

778
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,280
And now because you're being
shot at in a fight, this is only

779
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,440
going to be because Chronal off
here is not a supernatural force

780
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,040
or whatever.
This is going to be a potential

781
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,400
stability loss of two difficulty
3A human opponent attacks you

782
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,360
with evident attempt to do
serious harm.

783
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,840
I'm just gonna roll it straight.
Yeah, four man.

784
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:59,000
I succeeded with A6. 5.
Oh, all of us.

785
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,960
Good.
Can I?

786
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,520
Except Colin.
Oh no.

787
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,600
That was how much was the last.
Two.

788
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,520
OK, how far away is he?
Close.

789
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,280
Range.
You said he's in close range.

790
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,480
Yeah, like how close.
A garage can't be that big,

791
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,280
right?
Yeah, he's like 10 feet away.

792
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,360
Oh, great.
I'm gonna just fucking tackle

793
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,440
him.
I'm going to leap over that

794
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,480
fucking table and tackle him to
the ground.

795
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,480
Try.
OK, athletics.

796
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:30,560
No, this would be scuffling.
Tackling him is scuffling OK.

797
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,520
If this works, then I'm going
to, I don't know, cry tears of

798
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,680
joy.
Let's find out.

799
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,720
Oh, what's his hit threshold?
4. 4 Easy.

800
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,880
I'm gonna just spend the three
points as he fires at me like he

801
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,760
took a decent chunk out of me
like I want to, I want to say.

802
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,800
Yes.
Yeah, like the only verb that's

803
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,600
coming to my mind is a roar,
rich dude.

804
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:02,760
And in two tiger leaps I jump
him all right and I smash his

805
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,320
fucking face into the ground.
All right, roll your attack

806
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,040
damage.
Poor damage.

807
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,560
OK.
Wow.

808
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,640
You son of a.
Bitch.

809
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,920
Fuck off.
I'm going to run over and kick

810
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,880
the Tommy gun away from him.
That's good.

811
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,720
Yes, you could do that without a
role.

812
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,200
OK, yeah, you know that shit's
on the other side of the room.

813
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,960
OK.
I'd I'd grab that, I'd I'd pick

814
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:28,840
that up.
I don't know.

815
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,520
Your hands are busy punching
this guy but.

816
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,600
Yeah, no, I'm fucking pummeling
this dude's face to a pulp.

817
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,480
Cullen has figured out how to
put on his brass knuckles.

818
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,760
He puts them on there flat
surface, sticks his finger in

819
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,920
and then puts him on.
So he does so and walks over.

820
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,480
Yes, so you're over there ready
to beat the shit out of him.

821
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,080
Oh no, I'm I'm over there
waiting to intimidate, but I'm

822
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,720
guessing putting on the knuckles
took a while.

823
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,360
OK, I was going to say you're
not going to have attacked him

824
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,920
this term, but yeah.
And what about you, Doc?

825
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,280
I know violence isn't
necessarily your greatest thing.

826
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,520
Currently, everybody seems to
have the situation mostly under

827
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,760
control as far as Smalls can
see.

828
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,280
So yeah, Smalls is just going
to.

829
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,800
Smalls is going to enter the
room, obviously just waiting to

830
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,640
see where they can be useful at
the.

831
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:27,000
Moment the classic ready
daction, so to speak.

832
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,800
Yeah, kind of.
It just it depends on what

833
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,800
chrono love here it successfully
does.

834
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,960
You've tackled Kronelov.
You're in a bit of a a melee.

835
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,760
Kronelov reaches down, pulls A
dagger out of his boot and tries

836
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,920
to stab you in the throat.
Let him try.

837
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,760
Maybe don't let him try.
He's going to spend 3 points.

838
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,920
That'll hit me.
OK, so I'm a + 1 perfect.

839
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:53,680
Yeah.
So there's now a knife sticking

840
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,440
out of my throat and I don't
like this one bit.

841
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,560
I don't think it's sticking out
of your throat.

842
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:00,680
You got slashed is what
happened.

843
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,920
All right, the situation has
officially reached bad, so I'm

844
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,960
going to join in and stab
Cronov.

845
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,120
I fully intend to kill him.
OK, you fully intend to kill

846
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,640
him.
You're at -1 because of your

847
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,160
stability situation.
So I'm going to I'm going to

848
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,040
spend 2 points of weapons, so I
have to hit a 5.

849
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,840
Yeah, technically the way it
works for you is his hit

850
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,080
threshold has gone up, so his
hit threshold done really 4 now

851
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,920
it's 5 for you.
Wait, why has it gone up if he's

852
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:27,880
prone?
Well.

853
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,800
Prone because I'm still shaking.
Oh, OK.

854
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,960
Hey, hit a 5 anyway so.
Boo.

855
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:39,120
Roll your damage. 3.
He is still alive.

856
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,240
Fuck.
Just barely.

857
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:43,960
That's still alive.
I mean, I haven't attacked him

858
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,440
yet.
Yeah, Kearns has another chance

859
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,840
to hit.
Both Kearns and Colin have not

860
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,640
yet taken their chance to hit
him.

861
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,440
Just a reminder here, the police
sent us here, so they're

862
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,440
probably hoping to not find a
corpse.

863
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,560
I also have an idea.
He's got a Tommy gun.

864
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,080
They'll understand.
I mean, yeah, one one look at

865
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,880
me.
Probably enough to rule as

866
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,320
self-defense, but I concede.
Can I knock him out though?

867
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,480
I would like to use preparedness
to have some handcuffs.

868
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,560
Oh, that's good.
OK, Yeah, do that.

869
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,240
Let's do that.
Difficulty 3.

870
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,760
I'll just spend the points.
I don't use preparedness very

871
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,360
often.
That's because, like all of us

872
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,000
have it.
Exactly.

873
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,800
Yeah, Burn some of it.
Get it.

874
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:31,760
Go, go away preparedness.
So you do have cuffs, might be a

875
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,160
little difficult for you to put
them on him.

876
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:39,040
I would also like to make a
preparedness role when Colin is

877
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,200
done doing all of the Colin
things.

878
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,080
Yeah, I've got to hand these off
to somebody now, OK.

879
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,680
I mean, I haven't gone yet.
Yeah, I produced the handcuffs.

880
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:52,280
I go to put them on them and
meet with the mixed results.

881
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,720
So Kearns, just like, snatches
the handcuffs and goes for it.

882
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,080
No.
Well, Colin can probably clap

883
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,000
one of them on him and I can do
the other.

884
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,560
Sure.
Yeah, I would like to dislocate

885
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,800
this motherfucker's shoulder in
the process.

886
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,360
How about we focus on the
handcuffs first?

887
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,240
And just a bonus, as I say, as I
put my knee on this guy's

888
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:14,000
shoulder and just pull.
I need you to make one more

889
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,040
scuffling check against him.
This will not kill him, but I

890
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,760
need you to hit him one more
time with scuffling.

891
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,800
He has one health plan to sort
of restrict him.

892
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,680
I can do that, Sir.
Yeah, hit threshold is what?

893
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,680
Or 4.
Hit threshold is 4.

894
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,840
I will spend the three points I
have -1 to scuffling or a four.

895
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,160
Wait, why did you say you have
-1 to scuffling?

896
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,640
What are you talking about?
I am missing a hand so I have -1

897
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,240
to scuffling even though I am
wearing brass knuckles on the

898
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,640
1:00 remaining hand.
Yeah, his hit threshold would be

899
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,280
5 for you because you have one
hand.

900
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,840
Right.
Do you want me to do that

901
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:46,640
instead?
Nope.

902
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:47,720
OK.
Yeah.

903
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,400
All right, Hi.
OK.

904
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,080
All right, we got him.
And we got him alive so we can

905
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,880
ask him questions, and I think
Mr. Trammell will be pretty

906
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,400
happy about that.
Doc, you said you had a

907
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,720
preparedness role you wanted to
make.

908
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,040
Yeah, I may as well still make
it.

909
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:09,720
What would the difficulty be for
me to have a syringe of sedative

910
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:13,920
considering I do have medical
training and points in pharmacy?

911
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,880
Difficulty 3, but you're going
to have to be careful to not

912
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,400
like overdose him or anything
like it's not magic sleepy.

913
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,040
No, no, no, I get that.
Like it's something like that is

914
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,280
gonna be very specific dosage
wise.

915
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,280
And at this point we've cuffed
him so we don't like, we don't

916
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,760
need that anymore, but it is
good to have.

917
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,400
Yes, like that's why I said I
may as well do it anyway.

918
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:39,600
I'm just gonna spend the two
points.

919
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:44,000
But that way I have, you know,
some sedative on me.

920
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,200
Yeah, next time we need to do
some motherfucker.

921
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,960
I guess juice is the opposite of
what we would want, you know

922
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,080
what I mean?
Oh no, you can check juice into

923
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,040
someone.
It's pretty awful.

924
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,520
As small as are is sedating.
Well, no, I'm not.

925
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:58,600
Going to love.
I'm just going to.

926
00:51:58,960 --> 00:51:59,560
I'm not.
Oh, you're not?

927
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,080
There's no point.
He's already handcuffed.

928
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:02,920
OK.
Yeah.

929
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,720
That's that's, that's fair.
OK, well as soon as we cuff him,

930
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:09,640
I just, I get off of him, I
crawl to the wall and just sort

931
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,760
of put my back against it and
put a hand against my neck to

932
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,880
try to staunch the blood.
Jimbo, you want to handle that?

933
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,520
Yeah, first aid, everybody with
first aid.

934
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,120
Get your asses over here now.
I kind of want to a scene where

935
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,840
JB is bandaging Kearns's neck
and his hands are shaking and.

936
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,160
Yeah, we can.
We can have this moment to have

937
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,000
our talk and I'm going to spend
all three of my first aid points

938
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,480
that I have left.
Get me back to seven.

939
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,000
Yeah.
How far down are you still?

940
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,760
7 out of 12.
You had 12 at the beginning of

941
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,240
the fight.
No, I had 10 at the beginning of

942
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:45,760
the fight.
I was 10 out of 12.

943
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,000
OK, so seven out of.
Ten.

944
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,160
Yeah, I guess.
Because it can only go back to

945
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,440
what you had at the beginning of
the fight.

946
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:51,680
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

947
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,280
OK.
Yeah.

948
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,880
So I'll pitch 2 points in to
help out with that.

949
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,400
Definitely help out but let's
have JB talk to to Kurds a bit.

950
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:09,040
Anyway, so as JB's patching up
Kerns shaking badly, he says so

951
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:16,200
thanks for sorry about hey,
sorry, I'm still, I'm still I'm

952
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,720
I'm still I'm still working
through this, but.

953
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,240
You.
You don't.

954
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:25,360
Don't die.
No, no, I'm not gonna.

955
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,280
You don't need to be sorry.
I I'm the one who fucked up.

956
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:38,680
I'm when this whole thing is
over, I was going to ask you out

957
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,400
somewhere nice.
Oh wow.

958
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,240
Oh cool.
And apologize, like really

959
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,920
apologize.
I'm sorry.

960
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:55,400
I'm I'm so sorry, JB.
Then he dies.

961
00:53:55,840 --> 00:54:00,560
No, we're trying to avoid that,
right?

962
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,720
And JB says, OK, cool, apology
accepted.

963
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,160
On the condition that you
acknowledge that I told you not

964
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,400
to listen to it several times.
Do you acknowledge that?

965
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,880
I mean, I thought we kind of
established that I'm a bit of a

966
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,240
dummy.
OK, cool, apology accepted.

967
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:24,320
You're stupid and I care about
you a great deal.

968
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,920
As you're bandaging me, I'm
going to just grab your hand and

969
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,560
just squeeze it.
JB squeezes back.

970
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,960
Mr. Kronelov Trammell sent us
here to dismantle your

971
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,560
operation.
I think we're going to have some

972
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,640
words.
He glares at you with a cold

973
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:49,560
black stare.
I smile back.

974
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,480
