Tails.
I'm your host, Daniel Fernandez.

00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:41,590
This week we return to one of my
favorites, Trail of Cthulhu.

7
00:00:42,070 --> 00:00:47,070
So sit back and relax for a
fiendish tale of science, murder

8
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:50,510
and madness with special guests
Chris Lackey.

9
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:55,940
Enjoy.
Welcome everyone to another

10
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:58,580
exciting episode of Daniel's
Dread Tales.

11
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:02,620
Today we're going to be playing
some Trail of Cthulhu.

12
00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:06,500
So let's go around and introduce
our guests.

13
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,460
I guess I should introduce
myself first.

14
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:12,660
I'm Daniel Fernandez.
He him and I'll be playing as

15
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:15,460
the Game Master today.
Or the Keeper, I guess what we

16
00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:17,660
call it in Cthulhu games.
I'm Chris Lackey.

17
00:01:17,660 --> 00:01:21,060
I'm the cohost of the Strange
Studies of Strange Stories

18
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:24,680
podcast.
Where we cover bits of weird

19
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,080
fiction, science fiction,
horror, fantasy stuff, and we

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,160
talk about it.
We've been going for many, many

21
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,760
years.
Previously the HP Lovecraft

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,720
literary podcast.
I'm also a game writer.

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,360
You might have picked up my last
book, Cults of Cthulhu from

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,920
Chaosyum came out last year.
It's awesome.

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,760
If you haven't, I suggest
picking it up.

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,240
I suggest picking it up as well,
it's very good.

27
00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:48,390
Thank you.
And Chris, what character are

28
00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:51,910
you playing this morning?
I'm playing Charles Chip Stone.

29
00:01:52,150 --> 00:01:55,630
He is a short, stocky, sweaty
man full of enthusiasm, and he

30
00:01:55,630 --> 00:01:57,910
is a journalist.
I'm Russell.

31
00:01:57,910 --> 00:02:00,750
He, they and I would be playing
Harold Serling.

32
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:03,710
He's the professor of
archaeology and Jim at UCLA.

33
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:05,430
Anything else you want to tell
us about him?

34
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:07,590
No, he's a very mysterious
character.

35
00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:10,669
OK, sure.
Hi, I'm Nathan Pronouns.

36
00:02:10,669 --> 00:02:15,630
He him podcast regular and I
will be playing an artist named

37
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:19,270
Helen Long Pronouns she her
who's here for some artistic

38
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:22,070
inspiration.
Any Any similarities to previous

39
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:24,710
Trail of Cthulhu characters I
have played is purely

40
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:26,190
coincidental.
All right.

41
00:02:26,270 --> 00:02:32,670
Our game begins in 1934.
Los Angeles in a little

42
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:35,350
laboratory.
Well, not a little laboratory.

43
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:40,070
Right now you're sitting in a.
The lovely home of Professor

44
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:43,470
Poulton Williams.
All of you have been invited for

45
00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:46,750
various reasons, and Mr.
Williams is about to demonstrate

46
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:50,950
a brand new exciting invention
and you've all been called to

47
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:53,910
check it out.
But at the moment you are sort

48
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:58,910
of having some drinks upstairs.
There are the three of you, of

49
00:02:58,910 --> 00:03:03,750
course, as well as four other
people here, three men and one

50
00:03:03,790 --> 00:03:05,670
woman.
I'll give you a moment to sort

51
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:07,830
of tell me, what is your
character doing here?

52
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:11,710
And just get get the get the
vibe of what's going on here.

53
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:14,230
Forget the dark characters.
Well, Chip is just hanging out,

54
00:03:14,230 --> 00:03:17,510
having a drink, talking to
everybody, trying to figure out

55
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:19,750
who everybody is, what's going
on, what they've heard about

56
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:22,070
this, this event.
If they know anything, he's

57
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:24,070
trying to get the scoop because
that's what Chip does.

58
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:25,750
Of course you got to get the
scoop.

59
00:03:25,870 --> 00:03:30,990
Yeah, well, you know this about
Williams, that he is a brilliant

60
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:35,030
thinker, but he recently left
his tenured position at the

61
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:37,670
University of California at Los
Angeles to.

62
00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:41,790
To do his own thing, which was
very sort of controversial, like

63
00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:43,670
why would you give up your nice
tenured position?

64
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,870
And he sort of disappeared and
has been working on something in

65
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:52,390
secret and it's called you in
actually as a reporter to report

66
00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:55,310
on what is being shown tonight
to get it out into the press.

67
00:03:55,390 --> 00:03:56,870
And that's what I'm here to do.
Yeah.

68
00:03:56,950 --> 00:03:59,830
All right, let's see, let's see
what somebody else doing here.

69
00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:02,790
I believe I'm boring people by
either talking about sports as

70
00:04:02,790 --> 00:04:05,270
other archaeology or archaeology
as though it's sports.

71
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:07,670
OK, just completely wrong.
Energy you.

72
00:04:08,030 --> 00:04:11,510
You do find yourself in a little
bit of a conversation with

73
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:15,590
Doctor Robert Stebber who is a
physicist.

74
00:04:15,590 --> 00:04:18,910
He he studies radiation.
He actually is one of the

75
00:04:18,910 --> 00:04:22,670
earlier discover early
discoverers of what he calls

76
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:26,270
cosmic radiation.
And he is sort of trying to

77
00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:29,750
regale you with stories about
the recent fishing trip that he

78
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:33,230
went on while you were telling
him stories about football.

79
00:04:33,310 --> 00:04:35,110
How he totally dumped those
bones.

80
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:38,550
OK, Sir and.
About you, Helen.

81
00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:42,390
At the moment, Helen is enjoying
her drink and people watching,

82
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:45,750
you know, looking at everybody,
looking around the room, you

83
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:48,670
know, just trying to get the
inspiration, which probably

84
00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:50,710
isn't working.
It's gonna be probably pretty

85
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:52,870
dull until everything goes
horribly wrong.

86
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:58,350
You recognize the you sort of
are standing out a little bit as

87
00:04:58,350 --> 00:05:00,710
a woman here.
This is a very dude dominated

88
00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:06,030
room, tracks and decade.
But there is the professor's

89
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:10,190
wife is coming around.
Serving some stuff and her name

90
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:13,550
is an important name that I
didn't forget.

91
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:15,030
Well, that's good.
Mrs. Williams.

92
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:17,710
Yeah, Mrs. Williams.
Good say.

93
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:22,270
Ellen Williams But Mrs. Williams
and the other woman there is

94
00:05:22,350 --> 00:05:29,590
Ulali Finch, who is, you know,
is a sort of wealthy woman who

95
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:32,470
is a big investor into the Arts
and Sciences.

96
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:36,170
So you have a you've in the
past, you've had some friends

97
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:39,090
who have, you know, done some
work for her, which has been

98
00:05:39,090 --> 00:05:41,370
very handy for their bank
accounts.

99
00:05:41,370 --> 00:05:44,090
Anyway, so you recognize her.
There's a couple other

100
00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:46,930
scientists here as well.
And then you see Professor

101
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:52,610
Williams finally make a scene in
his he comes down the stairs of

102
00:05:52,970 --> 00:05:57,570
his bright, sort of homey, Tudor
revival style house.

103
00:05:58,010 --> 00:06:02,170
And he's and he is just mingling
saying hey, how's it going

104
00:06:02,170 --> 00:06:05,050
everybody?
Oh, thank God you you've made

105
00:06:05,050 --> 00:06:07,530
it.
He seems a little bit nervous.

106
00:06:07,690 --> 00:06:12,290
His hair is snowy white got dark
circles under his eyes.

107
00:06:12,490 --> 00:06:16,490
His age considerably since the
last time any of you have seen

108
00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:18,090
him.
Actually, have any of you, do

109
00:06:18,130 --> 00:06:20,050
you think you've met Professor
Williams before?

110
00:06:20,050 --> 00:06:22,650
I don't think ship has.
OK, probably not, Helen.

111
00:06:22,770 --> 00:06:24,890
I think I made it pass him in
the hall and discounted him as

112
00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:27,850
just another nude.
So the small talk continues.

113
00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:31,050
You do identify a couple other
people here.

114
00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:35,050
There's Doctor Harold Binder,
who's a biologist, and Dr.

115
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:40,370
Alfred Sykes, who is being his
name's being tossed around for

116
00:06:40,370 --> 00:06:44,010
the Nobel Prize due to his
synthesis, his ability to

117
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:47,550
synthesize.
Radioactive materials high

118
00:06:47,550 --> 00:06:51,990
minded knowledgeable group after
some time, Williams says.

119
00:06:52,030 --> 00:06:55,950
All right ladies the gentlemen,
it's time for the the grand

120
00:06:55,950 --> 00:07:01,550
events gestures towards a door
leading down into his basement

121
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,750
and inside the basement.
I mean, I assume if you would

122
00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:07,790
like I suppose you don't have to
go down into the basement if you

123
00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:11,390
wouldn't like, but this is sort
of the grand event.

124
00:07:11,550 --> 00:07:14,190
We're here for a reason.
Going down, Mrs. Williams

125
00:07:14,190 --> 00:07:16,030
doesn't seem like she wants.
Go down but besides.

126
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:17,430
Chip is going to get his camber
out.

127
00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:19,310
Of course, Helen's got a sketch
pad.

128
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:22,390
You take some circular stairs
that go down into the basement.

129
00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:24,350
Do any of you have architecture
skill?

130
00:07:24,430 --> 00:07:27,230
Architecture don't think so.
Nope, I believe I do.

131
00:07:27,870 --> 00:07:30,350
For those of you who have not
played Trail of Cthulhu before

132
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:33,550
in our audience, or haven't
heard it, the general idea is

133
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:37,150
that if you have knowledge in
things, you discover clues about

134
00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:38,990
them.
And if you want to learn a lot

135
00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:42,270
about it, you can spend one of
your points to learn even more

136
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:44,350
about it.
But generally, just having the

137
00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:45,790
skill we'll learn you some
stuff.

138
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:48,710
This is more of a trial run.
I can confirm I do have

139
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:49,870
architecture.
Great.

140
00:07:49,950 --> 00:07:51,350
Honestly, it's not that
exciting.

141
00:07:51,710 --> 00:07:54,510
I was going to tell you that
this this basement has recently

142
00:07:54,510 --> 00:07:58,590
been expanded out and it lacks
any sort of amenities.

143
00:07:58,590 --> 00:08:00,630
The walls are unadorned
concrete.

144
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:06,270
It's pretty chilly down here,
and at one end stands a whole

145
00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:10,470
slew of electrical equipment,
the central piece being a large.

146
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:13,820
Bulky device that sort of looks
like a film projector.

147
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:16,740
And you see there is an
assistant toiling at the

148
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:21,260
machine, calibrating the gears,
oiling Pistons, as he's getting

149
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:24,020
it already for the big show.
Pistons.

150
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:28,120
Eh, Pistons.
This thing is, it's wild.

151
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,680
It it almost looks like nothing
you've ever seen before.

152
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,600
Do any of you have mechanical
repair?

153
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,840
I've got one.
I do no.

154
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:39,520
OK, a mechanical repair would
tell you that this seems like

155
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,240
this is definitely a prototype
of some sort, and it seems like

156
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,280
it's got many parts from
different machines, sort of

157
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400
taken out of them and put into
this sort of all sorts of

158
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,000
different devices that it's
scavenged.

159
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,140
And put together to make this
almost monstrosity of mechanical

160
00:08:56,140 --> 00:08:57,740
parts.
And not appreciatively.

161
00:08:57,980 --> 00:09:02,140
As everyone is getting settled,
Williams sort of stands in front

162
00:09:02,140 --> 00:09:05,100
of the device.
And, you know, notice that he

163
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:11,820
has a series of note cards that
he's pulled out and he's going

164
00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:14,940
to, if I could have your
attention, please.

165
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:18,500
But you notice that he's reading
almost directly from the note

166
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:20,100
cards.
He's not much of A speaker,

167
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:23,580
friends.
Colleagues, benefactors, I thank

168
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:26,980
you wholeheartedly for the
support you extend to me with

169
00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:30,900
your presence here tonight.
I trust that what I am about to

170
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:34,460
demonstrate rewards your
decision to venture far from the

171
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:38,500
comfort of your homes to my
distant laboratory.

172
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:42,540
Ever since the dawn of mankind,
we have wondered what lies on

173
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:45,820
the other side, even before
there was the written word to

174
00:09:45,820 --> 00:09:49,960
record the thought mankind.
Has man.

175
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,960
Man has believed in the
existence of additional worlds

176
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,960
beyond our own.
Our names for these have been

177
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,400
many.
The imagination of man has been

178
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,520
mapped on uncountable heavens
and Hells limbos purgatories.

179
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,920
And dream realms at Dreamlands
tonight you are about to peer

180
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400
into another world.
Except this will be no mere

181
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,080
folly of the imagination.
I'm about to show you to mention

182
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,520
why, by building on the fine
work of Doctor Sykes, Binder and

183
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,960
Stebbin.
He gestures towards each of

184
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,890
them.
The other doctors here, I've

185
00:10:23,890 --> 00:10:26,970
measured the radiation output of
the human brain, which I've

186
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:30,530
called the Y ray, more ever.
I've discovered that the Y rays

187
00:10:30,770 --> 00:10:34,890
we emit persist around us,
forming an energy field, which

188
00:10:34,890 --> 00:10:38,410
I've called a Y field, if you
will.

189
00:10:38,490 --> 00:10:41,770
Like the ripples that result
when a Pebble is dropped into a

190
00:10:41,770 --> 00:10:44,970
pond.
Our thoughts, our dreams, our

191
00:10:44,970 --> 00:10:50,650
hopes and memories live on
within the heretofore invisible

192
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:53,430
substances.
Of the Y field.

193
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:56,870
Together these things comprise,
after the three spatial

194
00:10:56,870 --> 00:11:00,550
dimensions and time, the 4th
dimension, 1/5 dimension,

195
00:11:00,550 --> 00:11:04,630
dimension Y dimension Y is what
I would call 1/2 reality,

196
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:08,910
because although it is
concretely exists concretely and

197
00:11:08,910 --> 00:11:13,270
with the aid of this device can
be measured and observed, it is

198
00:11:13,270 --> 00:11:16,910
a mere reflection of what occurs
in this our work and in our

199
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:21,410
minds it is the ripples.
Our minds are the stone.

200
00:11:21,490 --> 00:11:26,290
This device, the wise scope, any
gestures at the mechanical

201
00:11:26,290 --> 00:11:29,610
monstrosity holds incalculable
promise With it.

202
00:11:29,890 --> 00:11:32,170
Aliens can behold their patients
dreams.

203
00:11:32,410 --> 00:11:35,210
Police forces can see into the
memories of their victims.

204
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:38,050
A scientist can go to bed at
night conceptualizing the

205
00:11:38,050 --> 00:11:40,990
solution to a physics problem.
And wake up the next morning and

206
00:11:40,990 --> 00:11:43,710
see his thoughts coalesce
through the Y scope.

207
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,710
He's getting more and more
excited as he's saying this.

208
00:11:45,790 --> 00:11:48,470
Historians can locate the
memories of the long dead

209
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:52,550
peering into a reflection of the
world as seen by Napoleon, Joan

210
00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:54,990
of Arc, or the disciples of
Christ himself.

211
00:11:55,070 --> 00:11:57,070
He says.
It's gesturing to you, Professor

212
00:11:57,070 --> 00:12:00,390
Sterling.
Of course, these practical

213
00:12:00,390 --> 00:12:04,390
applications will all require
considerable refinement of the Y

214
00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:08,070
scopes mechanism, a task
requiring many years of effort

215
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:11,990
with the funding implied.
Thereby look meaningfully at

216
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:13,270
Mrs. Fitch.
Excuse me.

217
00:12:13,310 --> 00:12:16,590
No.
Anyway, until then, we cannot

218
00:12:16,590 --> 00:12:19,990
predict what we will see when we
peer into this half reality

219
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:22,950
tonight, only that we will
behold dimension.

220
00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:25,630
Why?
Williams gestures towards his

221
00:12:25,630 --> 00:12:29,270
assistant, who pulls a huge
lever to activate the machine

222
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:32,110
she turns on.
I am on the edge of my seat.

223
00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:35,990
I mean, who isn't right now?
Chip is dubious of all of this,

224
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:37,870
but he's got his camera at the
ready.

225
00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:41,750
Of course, with a metallic.
Shutter the device groans to

226
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:45,270
life.
Gear spin Pistons, chug arcs,

227
00:12:45,270 --> 00:12:50,070
event electricity inchworm their
way between the exposed antenna.

228
00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:54,550
Then a spectral like shoots
forth from its cyclopian central

229
00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:58,430
lens, blinding light strobes
through the damp basement.

230
00:12:58,510 --> 00:13:01,710
And then you see some coalesce
into the air.

231
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,400
Before you.
It's like a movie projection,

232
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,960
but it appears to have depth, if
not substance.

233
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,960
At first you see biological
forms, almost like bacteria

234
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,760
wiggling on a microscope slide,
but in threedimensional space.

235
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,080
Then a shape begins to form a
glowing, beautiful cube of

236
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,240
shifting colors.
But there's Then you realize.

237
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,070
Maybe, Helen, you realize first.
Due to your artistic

238
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:31,030
sensitivities, but it's not too
hard to notice.

239
00:13:31,190 --> 00:13:37,510
This cube has only five sides.
The geometry is impossible, and

240
00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:42,270
on a deep and intrinsic level it
feels kind of destabilizing.

241
00:13:42,430 --> 00:13:46,350
And our first major role of a
game is you are now going to

242
00:13:46,350 --> 00:13:49,030
face a four point stability
loss.

243
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:50,430
So here's what you're going to
do.

244
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:52,550
If you need to be reminded, or
if you haven't played this

245
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:54,710
before, what you're going to do
is you.

246
00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:58,670
If you fail this role, you are
going to lose 4 points of

247
00:13:58,670 --> 00:14:02,150
Stability as you see this thing,
and it really sort of freaks you

248
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:05,230
out.
You will simply roll a die and

249
00:14:05,230 --> 00:14:07,390
if you get a four or higher you
will succeed.

250
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:12,270
You may, if you would like spend
points of your stability before

251
00:14:12,270 --> 00:14:15,150
you make the role, to add the
points to the role.

252
00:14:15,150 --> 00:14:18,710
So you could spend two points of
Stability to gain a + 2 to the

253
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:20,670
role.
However, if you spend the points

254
00:14:20,670 --> 00:14:24,220
of Stability, you are also.
Losing those points of

255
00:14:24,220 --> 00:14:28,580
stability, I should note that
you can go into negative

256
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:33,340
stability, but once you reach -,
7 stability, you really your

257
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:35,150
mind.
Really starts to.

258
00:14:35,390 --> 00:14:39,830
I believe the technical term is
blasted in this system in times,

259
00:14:39,950 --> 00:14:43,150
so if you would like to make a
roll and then we can move on

260
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:44,710
from there.
I don't know if anybody wants to

261
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:46,190
spend the points, but let's see
how it goes.

262
00:14:46,350 --> 00:14:49,390
I'm not gonna spend any points.
I'm gonna trust fate and I've.

263
00:14:49,390 --> 00:14:51,710
Rolled A5.
OK, so you're good.

264
00:14:51,830 --> 00:14:54,990
I rolled 3.
OK, so you're going to lose 4

265
00:14:54,990 --> 00:14:56,990
points of stability.
Which puts me at zero

266
00:14:56,990 --> 00:14:58,230
immediately.
What?

267
00:14:59,090 --> 00:15:00,250
Sure, OK.
Sure.

268
00:15:00,370 --> 00:15:02,050
You didn't put a lot in
stability, huh?

269
00:15:02,050 --> 00:15:04,530
No, I did not.
Clearly OK, I roll the.

270
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:07,130
Floor.
OK, so we're all good, except

271
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:10,730
for, well, one of us.
All right.

272
00:15:10,970 --> 00:15:15,330
A few moments later, the machine
overloads A belching forth black

273
00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:17,170
smoke.
The stench of burning rubber

274
00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:19,850
fills the room.
The mechanism dies, shutting

275
00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:23,330
down the spectral light,
bringing the demonstration to a

276
00:15:23,330 --> 00:15:26,090
premature end.
How do you react to both?

277
00:15:26,170 --> 00:15:28,650
I suppose I didn't give you a
chance to react to the cube.

278
00:15:28,850 --> 00:15:31,530
Just had you roll.
How do you react to these little

279
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:33,890
forms that you see in this
bizarre queue?

280
00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:38,170
Helen is scribbling like mad.
Chips taking photos as best he

281
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:40,050
can, yes.
I am clapping.

282
00:15:40,130 --> 00:15:41,210
We'll need to get those
developed.

283
00:15:41,330 --> 00:15:43,770
I am clapping excitedly in a
completely undignified way.

284
00:15:44,050 --> 00:15:48,930
OK, but as the thing sort of
stops working.

285
00:15:49,310 --> 00:15:53,350
Williams appears distraught.
This is everything that it was

286
00:15:53,350 --> 00:15:56,430
lurking towards, and it seems
like it has all gone to crap, he

287
00:15:56,430 --> 00:15:58,590
shouts at his assistant, Fern.
What happened?

288
00:15:58,590 --> 00:16:00,430
Fern?
And they both have sort of

289
00:16:00,430 --> 00:16:03,110
crunching over the machine,
moving some pieces around.

290
00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:06,780
The doctor actually sort of
burns himself a little bit on

291
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:08,940
the machine and pulls his hand
back size.

292
00:16:08,940 --> 00:16:12,540
This is going to take weeks to
repair, months even on.

293
00:16:12,980 --> 00:16:14,140
Oh, you want me to take a look
at it?

294
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:17,260
The assistant sort of steps
forward and just sort of raises

295
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:22,340
his hand up, shakes his head.
No, I, ladies and and gentlemen,

296
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:26,340
I I do apologize for for what
you've seen here today.

297
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,700
Scientific progress doesn't come
without its occasional speed

298
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:34,180
bumps, but I assure you that the
the Y scope.

299
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:40,900
Will, well, I Good evening.
He seems very, very disappointed

300
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,060
and distracted by what is going
on.

301
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:48,740
The other four guests are sort
of disappointed as well and but

302
00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:52,340
they seem to be like, well,
that's that's what you get and

303
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:54,700
most of them seem to be going
upstairs.

304
00:16:55,780 --> 00:17:03,180
You do see that professor.
Professor Sykes tries to pat

305
00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:05,380
Professor.
Williams on the back a little

306
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:10,339
bit and then goes upstairs.
What do all of you do?

307
00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:12,819
I'll talk to the perpetrator of
this experiment.

308
00:17:12,859 --> 00:17:15,740
Professor Williams Yeah, Okay.
That was a thrilling experiment

309
00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:18,380
and I really look forward to
seeing more of this.

310
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:23,619
Thank you.
Yes, I'm sorry, I must ask you

311
00:17:23,619 --> 00:17:26,540
to be going.
I need to.

312
00:17:27,150 --> 00:17:30,070
Fix this.
He seems really uninterested in

313
00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:32,910
talking, though perhaps a social
skill might be able to convince

314
00:17:32,910 --> 00:17:35,030
him to talk.
Do I have any social skills?

315
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:36,070
All right.
Interpersonal.

316
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:37,790
Nope.
Intimidation.

317
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:39,150
I went with intimidation.
OK.

318
00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:40,430
I don't think intimidation is
going to.

319
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:42,750
I mean, I don't think
intimidation is what he needs

320
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:43,550
right now.
Yeah.

321
00:17:44,590 --> 00:17:46,630
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.

322
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:50,390
But I I must ask.
Excuse me, I got a few questions

323
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:52,990
about this.
Has there been any peer reviewed

324
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:56,230
reports, documentation, anything
like that?

325
00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:58,270
Or you I'm not?
Not exactly sure what I've just

326
00:17:58,270 --> 00:18:01,230
seen here.
I'm sorry, Charles Steele, I'm

327
00:18:01,230 --> 00:18:04,350
with the Los Angeles Times.
I'm just not sure.

328
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:07,190
You know, I know my audience is
going to.

329
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:10,350
They want to know what I've seen
here, and I've got to tell them

330
00:18:10,350 --> 00:18:12,830
what I've seen.
But I'm not sure what I've seen.

331
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:17,030
So if you can explain to me
what's going on and and how I

332
00:18:17,030 --> 00:18:20,870
can tell my readership that this
isn't just some elaborate hoax.

333
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:23,030
Mr. Steele, I I do know who you
are.

334
00:18:23,030 --> 00:18:27,030
Thank you.
I know nothing has been peer.

335
00:18:27,150 --> 00:18:31,790
Viewed or anything, if this was
the first full-fledged test of

336
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:37,870
the Y scope, we had a smaller
prototype device but we

337
00:18:37,870 --> 00:18:41,790
cannibalized it to make this I.
So let me get this straight,

338
00:18:41,790 --> 00:18:43,230
Sir.
You're telling me that your

339
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:48,510
first Test of this device is in
front of a bunch of people?

340
00:18:49,550 --> 00:18:54,110
Yes, it's not.
It's it's not dangerous.

341
00:18:54,110 --> 00:18:58,290
Nothing about this should be.
Nobody said it was dangerous.

342
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:00,330
That's interesting that you say
that.

343
00:19:00,450 --> 00:19:03,410
Let me write that down.
No, that's not what I that's

344
00:19:03,410 --> 00:19:07,210
that's not what I mean at all.
I I I thought it would be

345
00:19:08,290 --> 00:19:13,090
dramatic for you all to to see
it for the the first time to to

346
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:17,570
impress my my, my colleagues and
and the the press about what was

347
00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:20,410
happening.
Well, I don't know exactly

348
00:19:20,410 --> 00:19:22,770
what's happened here.
You've got this Y ray thing,

349
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:26,650
supposedly.
I can't corroborate anything

350
00:19:26,650 --> 00:19:29,250
that you've said because you're
just said it.

351
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,850
And I, you know, as a reporter,
I got to check my sources.

352
00:19:31,850 --> 00:19:34,850
So is there anybody?
I mean, you, you mentioned

353
00:19:34,850 --> 00:19:36,690
Doctor Pinder.
Dr. Sykes.

354
00:19:37,970 --> 00:19:41,930
Gentlemen, you're here as well.
Is what the professor, Professor

355
00:19:41,930 --> 00:19:44,450
Williams talking about here?
Is this possible?

356
00:19:47,050 --> 00:19:51,070
Well, anything is possible.
There's so many things we don't

357
00:19:51,070 --> 00:19:52,470
know.
We're covering new information

358
00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:58,430
every day.
I We can measure the brain waves

359
00:19:59,350 --> 00:20:03,470
coming from people's minds.
I've done this before.

360
00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:06,430
I have a.
Sure, sure.

361
00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:09,630
I I I understand the principle,
but how can one prove this?

362
00:20:09,630 --> 00:20:12,950
They, you know, dowsing rods
have been used for for many

363
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:16,510
years to to detect water, but
there's no scientific backing

364
00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:18,110
that it actually detects any
kind of water.

365
00:20:18,110 --> 00:20:21,190
There's no principles behind it.
You're saying that your Y rays

366
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:24,310
are able to be detected by this
machine?

367
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:27,710
Well, we've never, we have no
evidence that Y rays exist or

368
00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:29,630
that your machine can actually
detect these things.

369
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:34,710
So is there some other?
This device.

370
00:20:35,580 --> 00:20:37,580
We can already measure the Y
rays.

371
00:20:37,580 --> 00:20:40,700
I I've detected them with a
device I have.

372
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:43,700
It's it's it's upstairs.
I can maybe demonstrate it

373
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:48,020
another time, but the idea of
the Y scope was that we would be

374
00:20:48,020 --> 00:20:53,740
able to peer into another realm,
and apparently it's all trash.

375
00:20:54,980 --> 00:20:55,900
I I'm.
I'm sorry.

376
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,500
I must ask you to leave.
I must ask you to leave.

377
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:02,950
I.
On her way up the stairs and she

378
00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:05,190
has not looked up from her
sketch pad, Helen says.

379
00:21:05,630 --> 00:21:10,390
If it's any consolation, we did
see a 5 sided cube, so I'm

380
00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:12,230
pretty sure you're on to
something here.

381
00:21:12,430 --> 00:21:16,030
I We're not looking for cubes,
but thank you, Helen.

382
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,800
I love a cube all.
Right.

383
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Just trying to be helpful.
Whatever.

384
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,200
Asshole.
Yeah, I'm not sure what I saw

385
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,600
here.
And yeah, look, I mean, you read

386
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,720
about it tomorrow in the Times.
Thank you for your time,

387
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,160
Professor.
And he's going to leave.

388
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,600
And you as you leave, you see
Williams chatting with his

389
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,360
assistant there and sort of
looking at it, but that's all

390
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,840
there is, All right.
I guess, you know, I guess

391
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,120
that's that it's probably time
to to head home for the evening

392
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:46,360
and be on your merry way.
What do you guys think you do?

393
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,800
After this, this was in the
evening.

394
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,640
If there were appetizers, I have
hoarded A inordinate number of

395
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,200
them.
There were, there were drinks

396
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,720
upstairs.
That that's all they were.

397
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,040
They were not appetizers.
Oh, those are harder to carry

398
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:57,680
home.
OK.

399
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,640
Anybody else?
Oh, you're just gonna leave?

400
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,640
He's just gonna leave.
Yeah.

401
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,560
Just gonna go home.
Yeah.

402
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,520
Yeah.
Makes sense.

403
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,640
Yeah, well, I mean, go right up,
go right up.

404
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,120
This article, you know, this,
this sham of an event.

405
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,720
Exactly right.
My painting supplies are at

406
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,640
home, so you know.
All right.

407
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,240
Now, do you write it?
Do you think you go like to the

408
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,360
office?
It's pretty late.

409
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,120
You probably go home to write up
your story then.

410
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,120
Yeah, yeah.
He's got a personal typewriter

411
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:24,400
that he uses at home.
You each get home and Helen, Do

412
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,920
you live alone?
Do you live with anyone?

413
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,800
Helen's alone.
Helen's alone.

414
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,440
All right, you do get a call
from your mother that evening.

415
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,120
She asks you to come visit her
at the nursing home and says

416
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:38,320
that the staff there are being
too cruel to her.

417
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,680
But this is sort of things that
she complaints about all the

418
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,520
time.
All right.

419
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,080
Well, guess that's what I'm
doing with my evening.

420
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,400
Well, I don't know.
If you do you want to go.

421
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,560
Visitor right now.
I mean it's kind of late my.

422
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,800
Tomorrow, I suppose.
Your tomorrow?

423
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,200
OK, yeah, just sort of giving
you a perspective on everyone's

424
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,760
lives.
How about you, Professor?

425
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,480
I will go home to my husband,
Renee, and, you know, play some

426
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,600
part easy or whatever they did
for fun in the 30s.

427
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,240
Great.
Do you have any kids?

428
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,400
No.
OK, Renee, does remind you that

429
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,080
you need to remember their
cousin's upcoming birthday

430
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,440
that's gonna be coming up, Dave.
Yeah.

431
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,960
Dave, do we, do we have to go?
Yes, we do have to go and.

432
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,320
You know, a little little minor
conversation there.

433
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,520
And finally, Chip, what do you
think you do when you get home?

434
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,760
He's going to get home and just
type up, you know, while

435
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,520
everything's fresh in his mind
what went on?

436
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,280
He's going to, he's a good
reporter, so he's going to kind

437
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,920
of keep it to the facts and
present, you know, his take on

438
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,080
it that he did see something
that was really strange this,

439
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,800
this five sided cube that
doesn't quite make sense.

440
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,720
But you know, when pressed for
any further information done was

441
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,910
provided.
You know, do you, Do you live

442
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:49,070
alone?
Do you live with anyone?

443
00:23:49,670 --> 00:23:52,110
He lives alone.
He's got a sweetheart, Lucy

444
00:23:52,110 --> 00:23:55,150
Donner, that that's his, he's
he's a court in her right now,

445
00:23:55,150 --> 00:23:56,990
but they're not living together
yet.

446
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,840
All right, I need you to all
make a difficulty for stability

447
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,600
test.
Again, this will not make you

448
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,280
lose anything though.
This is just to see how your

449
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,600
mind has been handling what
you've seen so far.

450
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,160
I rolled A1.
I also rolled the one.

451
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:15,200
Nice.
I also rolled the one.

452
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,800
OK, Great man.
OK.

453
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Getting mixed messages with that
response.

454
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,120
Yeah, that didn't go great.
OK, at night you all endure

455
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:30,600
restless, dream plagued sleeps
and because you all failed, you

456
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,200
don't really remember the
dreams.

457
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:38,220
You see some of your loved ones
in them, but it's hard to

458
00:24:38,220 --> 00:24:40,140
remember.
The only thing you really

459
00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:45,220
remember are seeing that five
sided cube and those bacteria

460
00:24:45,220 --> 00:24:48,780
like shapes floating around it,
almost dancing around it.

461
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,100
But none of besides that.
You don't really remember your

462
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:54,180
dreams because you failed your
roles and you wake up and it was

463
00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:56,540
an unpleasant night's sleep.
But that's just that.

464
00:24:56,580 --> 00:25:00,410
And in the morning.
What's What's everybody sort of

465
00:25:00,410 --> 00:25:03,650
morning routine?
Chip is going to get up, make

466
00:25:03,650 --> 00:25:07,130
himself a cup of coffee, have a
piece of toast jam, and then

467
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:10,890
he's on his way to the office
with his, with the article that

468
00:25:10,890 --> 00:25:13,250
he wrote that he's going to give
to his editor.

469
00:25:13,450 --> 00:25:16,090
Professor definitely has a
rigorous workout routine, Got to

470
00:25:16,090 --> 00:25:18,450
stay in shape for the
archaeology and also Jim.

471
00:25:18,610 --> 00:25:21,410
Painting first, getting up in
the morning second.

472
00:25:21,610 --> 00:25:23,810
She only will.
She will only put herself

473
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:26,890
together if she is just if she
is going outside today and she

474
00:25:26,890 --> 00:25:31,710
has no plans for the moment.
Well Chip, when you arrive at

475
00:25:31,710 --> 00:25:36,190
the office, your editor calls
you into the room and says Chip,

476
00:25:36,270 --> 00:25:37,710
what the hell happened last
night?

477
00:25:37,790 --> 00:25:42,270
I was a bit of a bus, Sir.
Well yeah, the professor did.

478
00:25:42,590 --> 00:25:43,870
He has got machine.
He's got.

479
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:46,630
Well, I mean, it's all in the
article, but he says he's

480
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:51,910
discovered these things called
why Why raise?

481
00:25:51,910 --> 00:25:54,550
And he's got a Y scope that can
detect them.

482
00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:56,190
They emanate from the human
mind.

483
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,400
Blah, blah blah.
He projected some crazy stuff up

484
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,800
on the wall that it couldn't
quite make sense of, but then

485
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,640
his machine just went out and he
didn't really give any

486
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,240
exponents.
OK.

487
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,280
I don't.
I I is.

488
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,360
In fact, I don't.
I don't care about that.

489
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,160
Look, Williams, did he have an
assistant, Was there an

490
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,840
assistant there?
Oh yeah, he did.

491
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,360
Did you catch this guy's name?
No, no, no, he didn't say.

492
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,760
Because we just got reports last
night off the police blotter.

493
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,520
An assistant of Mr. Williams
murdered someone.

494
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:25,400
Oh.
Huh.

495
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,480
Who did?
Wait, wait, who did?

496
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,000
Hoodie murder.
He sort of throws out.

497
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,800
He doesn't throw it out, but
he's pointing at, like an early

498
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,640
draft of one of the articles
that's going to be written.

499
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,960
Tragedy struck the prestigious
Brent Town neighborhood last

500
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,720
night when Lucille Lucy Voch,
heir to the Alper textile

501
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,560
fortune, was slain at her dinner
tape.

502
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Police shortly thereafter
arrested David Quinton Fern, 36,

503
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,320
who remained on the scene after
bludgeting.

504
00:26:52,610 --> 00:26:56,850
Miss Vok, with a silver
Candelabra Fern, was described

505
00:26:56,850 --> 00:27:00,890
by witnesses as having undergone
a sudden breakdown, shifting in

506
00:27:00,890 --> 00:27:04,450
moments from the quiet calmness
of a sophisticated dinner party

507
00:27:04,450 --> 00:27:06,730
to raging mania.
The dinner took place at the

508
00:27:06,730 --> 00:27:10,530
home of Doctor and Missus Vok.
Dr. Otto Vok is a renowned

509
00:27:10,530 --> 00:27:14,570
alienist, administrator of the
Spring Haven Sanitorium and

510
00:27:14,610 --> 00:27:17,930
author of the popular book
Limits of the Human Mind Police

511
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:22,290
described Fern as cooperative.
Witnesses suggested that Fern.

512
00:27:22,590 --> 00:27:26,190
Became immediately remorseful
after the brutal slaying, calmed

513
00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:30,270
in large part by the efforts of
a courageously forbearing Dr.

514
00:27:30,270 --> 00:27:32,310
Voch.
Fern will be arraigned later

515
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:33,950
today.
Sources familiar with the

516
00:27:33,950 --> 00:27:37,390
thinking of the District
Attorney's office deemed as

517
00:27:37,390 --> 00:27:41,390
premature speculation that Fern
would be spared a criminal trial

518
00:27:41,550 --> 00:27:45,670
in exchange for a swift
admittance to psychiatric

519
00:27:45,670 --> 00:27:48,670
incarceration.
That's what Tennyson wrote for

520
00:27:48,670 --> 00:27:50,940
us.
He was up all night writing

521
00:27:50,940 --> 00:27:52,780
about this, getting, getting
this down.

522
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:54,060
But you were.
There.

523
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:57,780
Wait, wait, So it's.
I'm sorry, did this happen after

524
00:27:57,860 --> 00:28:00,620
This must have happened after
the What time of day was this

525
00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:03,260
demonstration?
The demonstration was at six.

526
00:28:03,340 --> 00:28:06,140
In the OK, so this must have
happened.

527
00:28:06,420 --> 00:28:08,300
What was the time that the
article says about?

528
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:11,020
It doesn't say, but talking to
him it says it was around 7:30.

529
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:13,140
7:30, OK, so this was
immediately after there.

530
00:28:13,380 --> 00:28:14,820
Yeah.
What?

531
00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:18,860
You know what we were seeing,
What we all saw, made, made us

532
00:28:18,860 --> 00:28:20,180
all feel.
Little bit uncomfortable.

533
00:28:20,180 --> 00:28:22,900
It was this weird.
The only way to describe it is

534
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:26,340
A5 sided cube, which you know
doesn't work quite.

535
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:27,820
A5 sided.
Cube.

536
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:30,260
Yeah, yeah.
He was able to project it with a

537
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:34,140
film projector or whatever he
called his his Y scope, his Y

538
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:37,300
ray scope.
It maybe feel a little off, so

539
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:40,740
maybe it pushed this Fern right
over the edge.

540
00:28:41,540 --> 00:28:44,500
Tell you what, maybe we can do a
shared article here.

541
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:47,700
I can add what I know into this
and we could, you know, pile it

542
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,930
all together.
That's that sounds good.

543
00:28:49,930 --> 00:28:51,570
We could we could put that
together.

544
00:28:51,810 --> 00:28:56,010
I also maybe maybe we can have
you investigate a little bit

545
00:28:56,010 --> 00:28:58,410
more about this you you've been
on the criminal beat before,

546
00:28:58,410 --> 00:28:59,890
right?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

547
00:28:59,970 --> 00:29:01,930
Go talk to Fix downtown.
Got it.

548
00:29:02,050 --> 00:29:05,450
He at at the LAPD.
He's the one in charge of this

549
00:29:05,450 --> 00:29:07,810
case.
He might be able to, yeah.

550
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:10,260
Figure this out for me.
Yeah, he owes me a favor.

551
00:29:10,260 --> 00:29:11,100
He owes me a favor.
Yeah.

552
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:15,580
You got it, Chief.
Meanwhile, the other two receive

553
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:18,700
your phone rings before you head
out in the morning.

554
00:29:18,820 --> 00:29:21,460
I answer it.
On the other end is.

555
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Mrs. Finch, the woman who was at
the demonstration last night.

556
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Hello.
Hello, Professor.

557
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,280
I I know we didn't get a chance
to speak much last evening.

558
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,080
How are you feeling?
And not too bad.

559
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,600
Just finished my workout so you
know, got the juices bumping.

560
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,080
Ready to do some archaeology?
Well, I have a little bit of a

561
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,440
question for you.
I I don't know if you've heard

562
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,600
about this.
I suppose you wouldn't have

563
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400
heard about this yet.
There was a horrible murder last

564
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,360
night.
Oh, bye.

565
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,800
And I won't.
I won't overly explain the

566
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,280
things again, but.
I've heard that one of my dear

567
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,480
friends, Lucy Vok, was killed
last night, and in fact was

568
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:05,760
killed by that standoffish
assistant who was working on

569
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,200
that device last night.
Oh, that's terrible.

570
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,800
My condolences.
Yes, yes indeed.

571
00:30:11,190 --> 00:30:15,030
Look, I I know this is a bit of
an odd question, but do you

572
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:19,630
think that device could have
driven this man to do it?

573
00:30:19,830 --> 00:30:21,990
They say that he acted out of
madness.

574
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:24,310
Well, people do get very
attached to the work on

575
00:30:24,310 --> 00:30:26,150
occasion.
Maybe he just got frustrated

576
00:30:26,150 --> 00:30:29,470
when the thing broke down.
I suppose Look, I I know this is

577
00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:32,110
an odd request, but honestly, we
need to get this adventure

578
00:30:32,110 --> 00:30:36,150
going.
The my name might be attached to

579
00:30:36,150 --> 00:30:39,710
this why scope now that I was
one of the few people present at

580
00:30:39,710 --> 00:30:42,790
the first time it was displayed
and one of those people then

581
00:30:42,790 --> 00:30:44,950
went and murdered someone later
that night.

582
00:30:45,030 --> 00:30:49,190
You're you're a learned man.
Is there any way you could help

583
00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:53,070
me look into this to to figure
out if this device is what

584
00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:56,470
caused all of this trouble
because I don't want my name

585
00:30:56,670 --> 00:31:00,110
attached to it.
I I could reward you handsomely

586
00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:02,070
for for your help in this.
Absolutely.

587
00:31:02,070 --> 00:31:03,750
I see no reason that I wouldn't.
Do this.

588
00:31:04,190 --> 00:31:05,030
All right.
Excellent.

589
00:31:05,070 --> 00:31:07,310
Yes.
Maybe you could speak to some

590
00:31:07,310 --> 00:31:08,550
other whatever.
Let's just.

591
00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:10,310
I don't want to waste too much
time on this.

592
00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:13,430
I know it's sort of an odd thing
to set up, but yeah.

593
00:31:13,630 --> 00:31:15,550
Hand wave and then Helen's there
too.

594
00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:17,590
Hand wave.
Helen, you were given a similar

595
00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:19,030
call.
Cool.

596
00:31:19,030 --> 00:31:21,390
Time to cancel my plans with my
mom, cuz this is more

597
00:31:21,390 --> 00:31:22,950
interesting.
She'll be fine.

598
00:31:23,030 --> 00:31:26,030
I'm sure I'll see her again.
I don't know where the two of

599
00:31:26,030 --> 00:31:28,910
you would go because at this
point I don't know if you would

600
00:31:28,910 --> 00:31:30,790
go to the police station, ask
about it.

601
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,880
You could, and then all three of
you could end up sure.

602
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,520
Sounds like his plan as any.
If not, we could have you split

603
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,320
up for a little bit and then
have you get together, but that.

604
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,040
Police station I'm doing
investigating.

605
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Well, I think Chip probably gets
there first, yeah.

606
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,840
Like, what's his name, Officer?
Fix Detective Alan Fix.

607
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Fix.
You've worked with him before.

608
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,760
He's jaded and unflappable.
Hey Fix, how's it going?

609
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,920
It's me, Chip.
Well, I should note you do have

610
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,880
to wait about 3 hours to see.
To see fixed he is busy doing

611
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,040
some other stuff.
I know if you would like you

612
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,920
could spend maybe a point of cop
talk to see him sooner, but if

613
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,440
you just want to wait a few
hours you.

614
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,600
Can Yeah, let's do that.
I'll spend a point of cop doc.

615
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,880
You could see him within an
hour.

616
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,560
It's probably around 10:00 AM
early day still.

617
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Yes.
Yeah.

618
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,880
Hey, Chip, fancy beating you
here.

619
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,960
Hey, well, you know, look,
remember.

620
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:28,870
That that a little bit that
article that I conveniently lost

621
00:32:28,870 --> 00:32:30,590
a couple months back.
Which one?

622
00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:33,870
He says, winking.
Well, look, you know, I'm, I was

623
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:36,270
at the, you know, this David
Fern case, you know this guy

624
00:32:36,270 --> 00:32:38,750
that murdered this this lady
here.

625
00:32:39,270 --> 00:32:42,870
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty open and
shut case what you were there?

626
00:32:43,030 --> 00:32:49,670
Well no I well I earlier I was
but Professor Williams you know

627
00:32:49,670 --> 00:32:53,110
he was doing this this
experiment and Fern was his

628
00:32:53,110 --> 00:32:55,030
assistant during the and they
had some kind of.

629
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:58,190
If altercation, I mean, is there
anything you can tell me about

630
00:32:58,590 --> 00:33:00,630
the case?
Some kind of weird thing?

631
00:33:00,710 --> 00:33:02,310
I mean, it was pretty weird we
saw this.

632
00:33:02,390 --> 00:33:04,470
Anyway, just what do you know I
mean?

633
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:06,950
Like I said, it's a pretty open
to Chuck case.

634
00:33:07,150 --> 00:33:09,750
Fir definitely did it.
He had the bent bloody

635
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:12,390
Candlestick in his hand when I
arrived.

636
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,910
He was like cradling it, rock it
back and forth.

637
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:18,470
He was givering madness.
And of course all the other

638
00:33:18,470 --> 00:33:20,590
people at the party saw him do
it.

639
00:33:20,750 --> 00:33:23,830
It he did it.
It's it's that clear, I mean.

640
00:33:24,510 --> 00:33:28,470
They'll testify it in court.
I mean, yeah, he he did it.

641
00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:29,830
But why?
Why?

642
00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:30,350
Why?
Why?

643
00:33:30,350 --> 00:33:31,270
What happened?
The guy?

644
00:33:31,470 --> 00:33:34,710
It's no no record.
Um, they said it was during the

645
00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:40,870
dessert course of Bach.
Lucy spilled the sugar, the

646
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:44,390
Sugar Bowl knocked a bunch of
sugar cubes into Fern's lap and

647
00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:50,430
then he started screaming and he
started yelling the cube, the

648
00:33:50,430 --> 00:33:54,750
cube and smashed her.
This guy's got no priors.

649
00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:58,190
No, You know, he served in,
looks like he's a veteran.

650
00:33:58,430 --> 00:34:00,350
Maybe a bit of shell shock?
No.

651
00:34:00,710 --> 00:34:02,550
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.

652
00:34:03,310 --> 00:34:06,470
Admittedly, I wasn't there.
The husband was there.

653
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:15,400
And also a Mr. and Mrs. Conrad
Agu and a Miss June Kenyon.

654
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,560
They're all still pretty shaken
up.

655
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,760
Honestly, the thing that's
bothering me the most about this

656
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,320
stuff is the insanity.
OKI don't want this guy to get

657
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,960
off.
This guy's a cold blooded

658
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,840
murderer.
But the DA is going to pull some

659
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,719
strings, OK?
He's going to send this guy.

660
00:34:34,739 --> 00:34:37,420
To Vox Sanatorium.
Then that job kills this guy's

661
00:34:37,420 --> 00:34:40,380
wife, and then he's going to end
up at the guy's sanatorium.

662
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:44,179
So I think he's going to get
what's coming to him, if you

663
00:34:44,179 --> 00:34:47,340
know what I'm saying.
Yeah, no, I think this guy's.

664
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:50,300
I think he's legit off his nut.
I don't think that this is a

665
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:52,659
he's a faker, you know that.
Why would he kill somebody in

666
00:34:52,659 --> 00:34:54,100
the middle of a dinner party If
you're not off?

667
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:55,340
You're not.
You know, like that's that's

668
00:34:55,340 --> 00:34:57,180
crazy.
Doesn't mean by definition,

669
00:34:57,180 --> 00:35:00,060
that's crazy.
Yeah, well, I well, even if he

670
00:35:00,060 --> 00:35:02,330
is crazy.
He should probably be getting

671
00:35:02,330 --> 00:35:04,250
the chair, but maybe he'll get
something worse.

672
00:35:05,170 --> 00:35:07,650
All right, boy, this guy sure is
a cop from the 20s.

673
00:35:08,570 --> 00:35:11,650
It's 1934, but yes.
It's 30.

674
00:35:11,650 --> 00:35:12,970
Yeah.
He's much more progressive.

675
00:35:13,130 --> 00:35:16,210
He's more progressive.
I'm sorry, the 30s.

676
00:35:16,210 --> 00:35:21,650
That's so much better.
And as you are leaving, I think

677
00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:25,650
maybe you run into the other two
of our investigators in the

678
00:35:26,010 --> 00:35:28,050
lobby.
Oh, fancy meeting you here.

679
00:35:28,370 --> 00:35:30,530
Oh, hey.
You were from the party last

680
00:35:30,530 --> 00:35:32,350
night?
Yeah, yeah, I was just talking

681
00:35:32,350 --> 00:35:37,390
to yeah, I was just talking to
the officer who, you know was on

682
00:35:37,390 --> 00:35:42,070
the the case of when when Fern,
did you hear Fern murdered.

683
00:35:42,190 --> 00:35:43,590
Yeah, I got a phone call
earlier.

684
00:35:43,830 --> 00:35:45,590
As did I.
How gruesome.

685
00:35:46,910 --> 00:35:50,070
Yeah, it's real gruesome.
Look, you know, he was talking

686
00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:53,830
about the cube, the cube and the
cube set him off and he just

687
00:35:53,830 --> 00:35:57,670
went ballistic and killed the
woman built, beat her to death

688
00:35:57,670 --> 00:36:00,150
with the candle, sticky,
obviously out of his mind and I

689
00:36:00,150 --> 00:36:04,010
think.
What he saw, you know, affected

690
00:36:04,010 --> 00:36:08,050
him worse than it affected us.
I mean, I I don't know about

691
00:36:08,050 --> 00:36:11,490
you, but I had some kind of had
some rough sleep in last night.

692
00:36:12,530 --> 00:36:14,570
As did I.
Me too.

693
00:36:14,730 --> 00:36:19,730
I wasn't sure about what
Williams was doing but now now

694
00:36:19,730 --> 00:36:22,410
I'm really not sure.
I I don't know what to do.

695
00:36:22,410 --> 00:36:24,130
It's a pretty much it's an open
shut case.

696
00:36:24,130 --> 00:36:25,690
The guy went nuts because of
this thing.

697
00:36:25,810 --> 00:36:28,090
I I think we need to find out
more about this.

698
00:36:28,690 --> 00:36:31,030
Why Ray Scope.
Well, we could try talking to

699
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:35,350
Fern himself.
Fern, I don't do.

700
00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:37,430
And he's gonna go to the
sanatorium.

701
00:36:37,710 --> 00:36:40,230
Do you have any?
I don't know anybody down there?

702
00:36:40,230 --> 00:36:42,150
Do you guys have any
connections?

703
00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:44,230
Get us in.
That's an interesting.

704
00:36:44,230 --> 00:36:47,070
Question.
You could go to the sanatorium.

705
00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:50,230
I don't know if any of you know
the people there, but you could

706
00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:53,310
try to visit.
I have academic credentials.

707
00:36:54,030 --> 00:36:56,710
And I have access to closed
library stacks, research

708
00:36:56,750 --> 00:36:59,830
laboratories, and even private
government archives, but I'm not

709
00:36:59,830 --> 00:37:01,670
sure a sanatorium would be
covered by that.

710
00:37:01,870 --> 00:37:04,750
Yeah, you could probably go to
the William Andrews Clark

711
00:37:04,750 --> 00:37:07,710
Memorial Library, one of the
nicest libraries on the West

712
00:37:07,710 --> 00:37:09,910
Coast, but I don't know how
that's gonna help you with this

713
00:37:10,190 --> 00:37:10,990
moral.
Support.

714
00:37:11,150 --> 00:37:13,830
I will say you can try to go to
the the sanatorium.

715
00:37:13,830 --> 00:37:15,750
It might take some time to set
up an appointment or anything

716
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:18,030
like that.
Actually he might still be

717
00:37:18,030 --> 00:37:20,310
getting admitted.
I don't know if today he would

718
00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:22,340
be available.
Yeah, that's unfortunate.

719
00:37:22,460 --> 00:37:23,860
Well.
Professor Williams is who I

720
00:37:23,860 --> 00:37:25,620
really want to talk to.
Where's for me?

721
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:27,220
Let's go.
We got access to it.

722
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:30,260
And you, you all both.
Do you know Williams?

723
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:32,220
Do you know him?
Yeah, he's a colleague.

724
00:37:32,220 --> 00:37:33,180
Sorta.
And Helen?

725
00:37:33,820 --> 00:37:35,900
I'm friends enough with his
wife.

726
00:37:36,140 --> 00:37:38,580
Well, I was.
Well, if you'd like to go see

727
00:37:38,580 --> 00:37:40,540
Williams, that seems like
something that you could go do.

728
00:37:40,540 --> 00:37:43,260
OK, yeah, let's do that.
Overwhelmed music plays.

729
00:37:43,420 --> 00:37:45,900
By the way, it's not that
important, but do you guys all

730
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:48,540
have cars?
Are you taking the public

731
00:37:48,540 --> 00:37:51,100
transit that still exists in Los
Angeles at this point?

732
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:52,180
What?
We what are we doing?

733
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:53,900
It's.
Great, Great public transit,

734
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:55,900
1930s.
I'm an artist.

735
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:57,780
Do I look like I can afford a
car?

736
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,980
I'm a tenured professor.
I absolutely have a car.

737
00:38:01,260 --> 00:38:04,140
Did you take it to the station
or did you take public transit?

738
00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:05,700
I took it to the station.
OK.

739
00:38:05,820 --> 00:38:09,380
So I suppose you could drive the
other two just to get a

740
00:38:09,380 --> 00:38:11,620
perspective of how we're getting
around the city.

741
00:38:11,740 --> 00:38:14,700
I think I was halfway there and
then I thought to ask them, but

742
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:17,320
it was too late.
You just drove.

743
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,280
Wow.
OK, sure, Whatever.

744
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,480
You when you go knock on
Williams's door, he's willing to

745
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,680
beat with you about right away.
It's around noon at this point.

746
00:38:27,730 --> 00:38:31,130
And do you have a Does anybody
have Streetwise skill?

747
00:38:31,330 --> 00:38:35,050
Not I I do.
All right, you can definitely

748
00:38:35,050 --> 00:38:38,250
smell a lot of alcohol on
Williams breath.

749
00:38:38,410 --> 00:38:40,010
Wow, you really went on a
Bender.

750
00:38:40,050 --> 00:38:44,170
How you doing, Williams?
I Please come in and take a seat

751
00:38:44,170 --> 00:38:46,090
in the study.
You look like you should take a

752
00:38:46,090 --> 00:38:49,250
seat yourself.
Yes, I suppose so.

753
00:38:49,330 --> 00:38:51,450
Can I Can I help you all?
Is there?

754
00:38:52,450 --> 00:38:53,850
Is there something you wish to
know?

755
00:38:54,650 --> 00:38:59,330
He sort of got his.
His fingers to his nose and he's

756
00:38:59,690 --> 00:39:01,330
sort of rubbing his eyes a
little bit.

757
00:39:01,770 --> 00:39:04,610
Well, we're looking into your
assistant and how he flipped his

758
00:39:04,610 --> 00:39:07,650
lid because there's definitely
nobody better for, you know,

759
00:39:07,650 --> 00:39:10,770
investigating that.
Yes, I heard about Fern.

760
00:39:10,770 --> 00:39:16,570
I I don't know what happened.
He he seemed like a good kid.

761
00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:20,640
He actually is.
Truly the the the project would

762
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,080
not be possible without him.
Look, when he committed the

763
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,280
murder, he was talking about the
cube, the five sided cube, the

764
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,600
thing that we all saw.
Oh, right, the cube.

765
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,800
I remember that cube.
What's going on with with these

766
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,080
Y rays?
What in the Y scope?

767
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,280
And it What are you really
showing us here?

768
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,560
What's happening?
I don't know what to tell you.

769
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:46,310
It it it is a vision of.
The the thoughts and and

770
00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:54,110
memories of the human mind.
It is you could I I don't know

771
00:39:54,110 --> 00:39:55,950
what else to tell you besides
that.

772
00:39:56,550 --> 00:40:01,470
A thought just occurred to me.
How is it that something born of

773
00:40:01,470 --> 00:40:05,750
the human mind created an image
of something that the human mind

774
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:09,350
literally can't fathom?
Are you sure that's all we're

775
00:40:09,350 --> 00:40:12,870
seeing?
The human mind can fathom a lot.

776
00:40:13,290 --> 00:40:16,570
I don't.
I don't really know what to tell

777
00:40:16,570 --> 00:40:20,210
you.
I I I truly feel sorry for Fern.

778
00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:23,770
But he was.
He was a brilliant mind.

779
00:40:23,810 --> 00:40:26,250
Unschooled but but brilliant.
You know, I.

780
00:40:26,750 --> 00:40:31,270
I found him in a tool and die
shop where I was ordering some

781
00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:36,230
supplies and and Fern seemed to
know what I was doing.

782
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:38,790
Already figured out that it was
some sort of viewing device that

783
00:40:38,790 --> 00:40:40,950
I was making.
Half of all of my other

784
00:40:40,950 --> 00:40:44,630
assistants that I've had did not
understand my my vision and this

785
00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:47,550
Fern who was just working there
at the shop understood exactly

786
00:40:47,550 --> 00:40:50,550
what I was trying to do almost
intuitively.

787
00:40:50,830 --> 00:40:53,950
So you know after firing the 1st
3 assistants I.

788
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:56,500
I took him on.
He is unconventional.

789
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:59,020
Thinking helped me create, well,
I was going to say my

790
00:40:59,020 --> 00:41:02,100
masterpiece, but I suppose maybe
we were thinking too

791
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:04,700
unconventionally.
And he I don't.

792
00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:06,260
I don't know.
I can't.

793
00:41:06,780 --> 00:41:11,700
I I truly can't speak to why he
would do that.

794
00:41:12,020 --> 00:41:14,100
I I trust him with pretty much
everything.

795
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:17,340
He he handled the finances and
the ordering and and a lot of

796
00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:21,570
the the building of the device.
Well, it almost sounds like you

797
00:41:21,570 --> 00:41:24,450
were his assistant.
Well, I did.

798
00:41:24,530 --> 00:41:29,290
I did give him the the basic
ideas and and my Y scope which

799
00:41:29,290 --> 00:41:32,210
originally allows us to see
these Y rays coming out of

800
00:41:32,210 --> 00:41:34,490
people's heads was was of my
creation.

801
00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:37,770
But the actual viewing device I
worked with him to to help

802
00:41:38,570 --> 00:41:43,970
create it and I believe just a
few more things we could we

803
00:41:43,970 --> 00:41:46,570
could make it work.
So you're saying that he didn't?

804
00:41:46,890 --> 00:41:49,120
He didn't.
Graduate from any university.

805
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,800
No, no, He was unschooled, but
he was an autodidact.

806
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,560
He he had a truly brilliant
mind.

807
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,360
So where did he get all of this
knowledge, all this information?

808
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,040
I mean he worked in a in a tool
shop.

809
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,960
I believe he he fixed up most of
the things around the apartments

810
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:12,230
that he lived in that his.
Mother was the landlord of If

811
00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:14,350
you'd like to speak with her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

812
00:42:14,430 --> 00:42:18,270
So you're telling me that a
handyman built some kind of

813
00:42:18,270 --> 00:42:23,670
device that's able to see
X-rays, Y rays?

814
00:42:24,390 --> 00:42:26,310
Yes, I mean.
Doesn't that sound kind of

815
00:42:26,310 --> 00:42:28,350
crazy?
Doesn't that sound kind of,

816
00:42:28,350 --> 00:42:31,990
like, really improbable?
No, he was.

817
00:42:32,730 --> 00:42:34,970
He had an intuitive sense for
the work.

818
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:38,690
He he, I I can't.
You know the human mind has many

819
00:42:38,770 --> 00:42:41,930
things in it.
I mean here let's we could take

820
00:42:41,930 --> 00:42:46,010
a look at the the schematics and
he you know sort of lay he goes

821
00:42:46,010 --> 00:42:49,250
upstairs to grab some blueprints
that he he brings back down to

822
00:42:49,250 --> 00:42:55,490
you and is showing you his grand
sort of.

823
00:42:56,950 --> 00:43:00,070
Structure that he made, or at
least the blueprints for it.

824
00:43:00,190 --> 00:43:01,590
Yeah, it doesn't make a lick of
sense to me.

825
00:43:01,590 --> 00:43:04,830
I don't understand any of this.
I've got a sense Assess honesty.

826
00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:06,950
How much bullshit has this guy
been feeding us?

827
00:43:06,950 --> 00:43:08,710
He has been telling you the
whole truth.

828
00:43:09,190 --> 00:43:10,390
Wow.
Gotcha.

829
00:43:10,670 --> 00:43:13,030
So.
In his in this lab.

830
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,720
Do we have can we get access to
the lab, look around, see, see

831
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:18,080
if there's anything in his
notes?

832
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,760
I mean, I suppose you could go
downstairs and and see the the

833
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,400
device it is, it is, you know,
not functioning at the moment.

834
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,280
But he worked down there.
He also, I mean believe he kept

835
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,720
the books about the supplies
that were ordered and what not.

836
00:43:35,350 --> 00:43:37,390
All down there.
He doesn't have another office

837
00:43:37,390 --> 00:43:39,550
or a library or anything like
that anywhere else.

838
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:42,710
I mean, he has a home that he he
lives in.

839
00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:45,630
He he lives with his mother.
Well, he he lives an apartment

840
00:43:45,630 --> 00:43:48,550
owned by his mother either then
she's the landlord.

841
00:43:48,910 --> 00:43:51,270
Sounds convenient.
You know you have that address.

842
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,040
So feel free to come downstairs
and look at the why scope again

843
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,840
if we're trying to figure this
out.

844
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,920
I don't.
I truly don't understand what

845
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,920
happened here.
I personally would love another

846
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,440
look at that thing.
Yeah, go go right ahead and he

847
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,680
sort of gestures you down there
and he just is mostly going to

848
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,160
stay upstairs.
He you feel like at one point

849
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,280
maybe he would have pushed back,
but he just feels so confused

850
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,200
and defeated about all of this.
OK, well have a nosey down there

851
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,290
and trying to see.
You know, to see if there's

852
00:44:20,290 --> 00:44:22,650
anything that gives us any
leads.

853
00:44:22,650 --> 00:44:24,610
Any clues?
Perhaps Fern himself was

854
00:44:24,610 --> 00:44:27,130
influenced by the Why so, or
whatever it was called.

855
00:44:27,250 --> 00:44:29,890
But tell me what kind of
investigative abilities,

856
00:44:30,010 --> 00:44:33,850
academic or technical, that you
would like to use to investigate

857
00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:36,960
down here to look for stuff?
I have evidence collection that

858
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,440
seems relevant.
Evidence collection.

859
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,640
As you're looking around, it
seems things have mostly been,

860
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,840
you know, cleared out of here.
It doesn't look like there's

861
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,400
anything in particular.
There is a desk in the back that

862
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,800
has a bunch of notes that were
kept by both the professor and

863
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,640
Fern.
He seems to have kept all the

864
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,560
financial records, so you could
take a look at that.

865
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,800
A cult.
You don't see anything in

866
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,840
particular unless you want to.
I mean, well.

867
00:45:05,530 --> 00:45:06,970
Huh.
I got a cold of two, so I'll

868
00:45:07,210 --> 00:45:09,010
spend a point on this.
Face.

869
00:45:09,170 --> 00:45:12,130
Yeah.
If I if it's if it's useful.

870
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:17,370
Yeah, I'll give that to you.
There's something as you open up

871
00:45:17,370 --> 00:45:20,410
the device, are you willing to
sort of open up the device and

872
00:45:20,410 --> 00:45:24,050
take a look at it?
Yeah, it's the gears are

873
00:45:24,050 --> 00:45:28,570
organized in a way that almost
seems to create a sigil or a

874
00:45:28,570 --> 00:45:30,810
ruin of some sort.
And you recognize seeing

875
00:45:30,810 --> 00:45:35,130
something like that spoken about
in a scene.

876
00:45:35,330 --> 00:45:39,370
Like a cave in the Appalachians.
Yeah, there's definitely

877
00:45:39,490 --> 00:45:45,010
something bizarre here.
And also, who has repaired?

878
00:45:45,010 --> 00:45:47,570
Did you have repair as well?
No, I don't would repair or

879
00:45:47,570 --> 00:45:49,770
mechanical repair.
Her own Sterling has that.

880
00:45:49,890 --> 00:45:52,850
If you'd like, if you're as
you're comparing the blueprints

881
00:45:52,850 --> 00:45:55,970
to what's inside this thing,
they don't match.

882
00:45:56,130 --> 00:45:59,810
The blueprints that Professor
Williams made are not what is in

883
00:45:59,810 --> 00:46:03,330
the the why a scope that was
created.

884
00:46:03,530 --> 00:46:05,210
OK, so Williams definitely
didn't.

885
00:46:05,290 --> 00:46:07,530
Design this thing.
I mean, there are lots of

886
00:46:07,530 --> 00:46:10,450
elements incorporated into
blueprints that are similar.

887
00:46:10,450 --> 00:46:13,530
Well, it looks like Fern, you
know, messed around with the

888
00:46:13,530 --> 00:46:16,410
inside.
It's compared to this blueprint.

889
00:46:16,410 --> 00:46:17,930
And yeah.
Yeah, look at this.

890
00:46:18,170 --> 00:46:21,890
This is a sigil.
This is a an old Appalachian

891
00:46:21,890 --> 00:46:25,570
mystical sigil, like a symbol
right here, this thing.

892
00:46:25,650 --> 00:46:28,290
And it looks like it doesn't
really have any mechanical

893
00:46:28,410 --> 00:46:31,770
function within this device.
So that's really weird that that

894
00:46:31,770 --> 00:46:33,730
would be there.
That is weird.

895
00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:36,690
Look, I maybe we should go talk,
guys.

896
00:46:36,690 --> 00:46:38,650
Mom.
I was thinking that maybe it

897
00:46:38,650 --> 00:46:42,330
might not be a bad idea to also
check out his repair shop where

898
00:46:42,330 --> 00:46:44,530
he worked.
Might find something there too.

899
00:46:44,690 --> 00:46:46,850
Is there anything else we want
to look at before we head out?

900
00:46:47,450 --> 00:46:49,530
Oh, I can.
I guess I could check out those

901
00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:52,530
financial records.
And Helen makes a quick sketch

902
00:46:52,530 --> 00:46:56,900
of the sigil.
Do you have a counting skill?

903
00:46:57,020 --> 00:46:57,980
No.
Oh, I do.

904
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,380
Oh yeah, follow the money.
Follow the money.

905
00:47:00,460 --> 00:47:03,700
Always follow the money.
For every part that seems to

906
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:08,100
have been bought to make this
thing, he bought like six other

907
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:11,700
copies of what was being made.
He seems to be sort of covering

908
00:47:11,700 --> 00:47:14,660
that up and and sort of like
talking about like bulk orders

909
00:47:14,660 --> 00:47:17,380
and whatnot.
But it seems like Fern bought

910
00:47:17,380 --> 00:47:21,540
way more with spending money on
something outside of what was

911
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:24,140
needed for this.
It looks like he was making

912
00:47:24,180 --> 00:47:27,140
orders from.
Mechanical machine shops and

913
00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:30,140
stuff like that, but it's
spending way more money than he

914
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:32,580
should have.
Looks like I might get another

915
00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:39,780
demonstration after all.
Yeah, so he was building

916
00:47:39,860 --> 00:47:41,820
multiple devices.
Why?

917
00:47:42,180 --> 00:47:45,070
Look, let's.
Check with Williams and make

918
00:47:45,070 --> 00:47:47,550
sure he doesn't know anything
about this right?

919
00:47:47,670 --> 00:47:49,670
On our way out, we'll confront
him.

920
00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:52,870
About it and and I would suggest
we definitely go check out his

921
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:57,070
apartment afterward.
Yeah, Williams says.

922
00:47:57,270 --> 00:48:00,110
Did you find everything that you
were looking for?

923
00:48:00,190 --> 00:48:02,710
All that and more.
Look, you know we're looking

924
00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:06,670
over his purchasing papers here.
It seems like he bought enough

925
00:48:06,670 --> 00:48:10,390
parts for five, maybe 6 devices.
What?

926
00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:12,630
No, that can't be right.
Did you know about that?

927
00:48:12,710 --> 00:48:13,630
No.
No, not here.

928
00:48:13,630 --> 00:48:15,310
Look.
Look here look says right there

929
00:48:15,310 --> 00:48:18,510
like and then there times 6 * 6
* 6.

930
00:48:19,070 --> 00:48:23,030
No, that seems perhaps he was
making spares.

931
00:48:23,070 --> 00:48:24,470
I don't.
Why?

932
00:48:24,470 --> 00:48:26,590
There's no evidence of any
spares around here, is there?

933
00:48:26,830 --> 00:48:30,190
I mean, we salvaged a prototype
to make this, but no, you're

934
00:48:30,190 --> 00:48:33,590
right, this does seem like.
I think he might have been

935
00:48:33,590 --> 00:48:35,350
building some of these on the
side.

936
00:48:36,590 --> 00:48:41,190
That doesn't seem likely.
Perhaps I did not realize how

937
00:48:41,190 --> 00:48:43,850
much this project.
Depended on this.

938
00:48:43,850 --> 00:48:46,570
Poor boys, rude, untutored
genius.

939
00:48:46,890 --> 00:48:49,090
You must have been using more
parts than we needed.

940
00:48:49,490 --> 00:48:51,250
But we actually needed them.
I don't.

941
00:48:51,370 --> 00:48:53,330
I don't know.
Yeah, that's definitely what it

942
00:48:53,330 --> 00:48:54,010
is.
All right.

943
00:48:54,210 --> 00:48:56,570
Well, yeah.
Well, you know, we're, we're

944
00:48:56,570 --> 00:48:58,730
going to keep looking into this.
Thank you for your help.

945
00:48:58,730 --> 00:49:01,730
And if we come up with anything,
we'll let you know.

946
00:49:01,810 --> 00:49:03,850
Thanks again.
One quick thing before we go,

947
00:49:04,170 --> 00:49:05,850
Does this sigil mean anything to
you?

948
00:49:05,890 --> 00:49:09,130
And Helen holds up the the
sketch of the sigil that she got

949
00:49:09,130 --> 00:49:12,450
from the inside of that thing.
I Is that some sort of a cult

950
00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:14,850
nonsense?
Perhaps you ought to check the

951
00:49:15,210 --> 00:49:17,330
internal mechanisms of your
device.

952
00:49:17,370 --> 00:49:20,530
Perhaps you need not worry
yourself with primitive

953
00:49:20,530 --> 00:49:22,130
superstitions.
OK?

954
00:49:22,170 --> 00:49:26,370
The 20th century is going to
prove through pure reason that

955
00:49:26,410 --> 00:49:28,890
all of these ancient
superstitions are nothing but

956
00:49:28,890 --> 00:49:31,610
that superstition.
Oh, you really need to check the

957
00:49:31,610 --> 00:49:33,490
internal mechanisms of your
device.

958
00:49:33,810 --> 00:49:36,130
My only regret is that I won't
be there to see your face when

959
00:49:36,130 --> 00:49:37,370
you do.
We should go.

960
00:49:38,460 --> 00:49:39,700
Get you later.
All right.

961
00:49:39,860 --> 00:49:42,860
While this conversation is going
on in this sort of

962
00:49:42,860 --> 00:49:47,260
confrontation, a Helen, you sort
of actually get a little bit

963
00:49:47,260 --> 00:49:51,060
distracted.
You hear a nagging sort of

964
00:49:51,220 --> 00:49:53,980
tuneless sound.
Maybe you hear this a little bit

965
00:49:53,980 --> 00:49:55,860
as you were driving to the next
location.

966
00:49:56,060 --> 00:49:57,660
By the way, where are you
planning to go next?

967
00:49:58,060 --> 00:49:59,420
I believe it was to his
apartment.

968
00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:02,140
Works for me.
So at first maybe you think it's

969
00:50:02,140 --> 00:50:06,460
just the the wind or something,
but it's like a Tooting made by

970
00:50:06,460 --> 00:50:10,450
a like a flute.
Like it unearthly flutes that

971
00:50:10,450 --> 00:50:13,090
you're hearing.
It seems to just be random,

972
00:50:13,250 --> 00:50:16,130
chaotic noise.
But as you listen, there's sort

973
00:50:16,130 --> 00:50:20,090
of an A tonal pattern that you
start picking up on.

974
00:50:20,410 --> 00:50:24,850
I need you to make a role for a
loss of two stability.

975
00:50:25,330 --> 00:50:27,530
All right.
Is that everyone or just Helen?

976
00:50:27,690 --> 00:50:31,590
Just Helen.
Anyone else hear that?

977
00:50:31,590 --> 00:50:33,190
Oh, I definitely lose 2.
Stability.

978
00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:36,350
I roll the one again.
Does anyone else hear that?

979
00:50:36,350 --> 00:50:38,510
Hear what?
That that, that, that whistle

980
00:50:38,510 --> 00:50:41,150
that that flute sound?
Does anyone What is that?

981
00:50:41,310 --> 00:50:42,630
Jazz.
Do we hear it?

982
00:50:42,790 --> 00:50:44,430
You don't hear anything.
No, sorry.

983
00:50:45,070 --> 00:50:47,510
No, I don't hear it.
Yeah, that's just nothing.

984
00:50:47,590 --> 00:50:49,950
You continue your way towards
his house.

985
00:50:49,950 --> 00:50:52,470
He lives a little further on in
town.

986
00:50:52,630 --> 00:50:56,110
Say it's now around 3:00.
O'clock after your

987
00:50:56,110 --> 00:51:00,290
investigations here.
And at at Williams and then

988
00:51:00,290 --> 00:51:05,610
going over to the house, the
when you reach the home, it's a

989
00:51:05,610 --> 00:51:09,210
a rooming house owned and
operated by an EDA firm.

990
00:51:09,290 --> 00:51:16,370
And as you sort of knock on the
door, a heavyset jowly woman in

991
00:51:16,370 --> 00:51:20,490
a cheap illfitting floral print
dress and an obvious wig.

992
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,560
Sort of glares at you and says
no vacancies.

993
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,960
That's not true anymore, is it?
I don't say that in character.

994
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,520
OK, I was gonna say she's gonna
be very upset about.

995
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,840
That yeah, I Chip, Chip stalled
with the LA Times.

996
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:38,880
I got some questions about your
son.

997
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,440
I don't want it to.
I don't want to talk to the

998
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,280
police or the press or anything.
I've shut enough.

999
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:50,080
Well, I look, we get some
questions that maybe nobody's

1000
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,960
asked.
About before.

1001
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,240
Is there an Interpersonal skill
you would like to use to try to

1002
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:57,800
get her on her set?
I'm looking.

1003
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,600
I'm looking here.
Shoot.

1004
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,640
Intimidation.
I I feel like now would be a

1005
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,960
time for Helen to step in with
reassurance.

1006
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:08,480
Reassurance.
OK.

1007
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,840
Oh.
How are you going to reassure

1008
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,520
her?
Yeah, Helen just kind of steps

1009
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:17,120
forward and says now hold on, I
understand why you are upset.

1010
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,160
Anyone would be in your
circumstances.

1011
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,880
I personally am not with the.
I just want to know the truth.

1012
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,720
You think anyone in your
position would be upset?

1013
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,840
Don't you think that the truth
deserves to be out to give you

1014
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,480
some peace on this?
We just want to talk.

1015
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,360
Will you hear us out?
Sure.

1016
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,680
I I guess look, I just, I just
want my David to be OK.

1017
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,000
We'll see what we can do about
that as well.

1018
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,760
So what do you want?
I think it would be beneficial

1019
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,000
for us to take a look at his
apartment if there's.

1020
00:52:47,570 --> 00:52:50,170
Some numbers that don't add up
as far as the research and the

1021
00:52:50,490 --> 00:52:53,970
the financing ordering.
I I I guess so, yeah.

1022
00:52:53,970 --> 00:52:56,610
You could look at his room.
He he sort of puttered around

1023
00:52:56,610 --> 00:52:58,570
all over the place.
He he fixed things up.

1024
00:52:58,570 --> 00:53:02,010
He he worked he fixed the the
radiator down in the basement

1025
00:53:02,050 --> 00:53:05,570
and not the radiator.
He fixed the furnace down in the

1026
00:53:05,570 --> 00:53:08,690
basement.
He he he did everything around

1027
00:53:08,690 --> 00:53:10,610
this place.
He he was a good boy.

1028
00:53:10,610 --> 00:53:14,490
It's it's those rich people.
They must have drugged him or

1029
00:53:14,490 --> 00:53:17,430
something to make him.
Go mad like that.

1030
00:53:17,430 --> 00:53:20,110
He's he's not crazy.
Madam, I will not hear the

1031
00:53:20,110 --> 00:53:22,790
slander for the rich, I say,
twirling my monocle.

1032
00:53:23,030 --> 00:53:26,990
Ignore him, OK?
Well, if you want to go up to

1033
00:53:26,990 --> 00:53:29,910
his room, you could do that.
Yeah, let's, let's go up there.

1034
00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:31,710
I'm not going to belabor the
fact with her.

1035
00:53:31,990 --> 00:53:34,390
Miss Fern is sort of standing in
the doorway.

1036
00:53:36,030 --> 00:53:43,070
This room is immaculately clean,
it seems like.

1037
00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:48,830
Maybe he wasn't home a lot in
terms of how clean this place

1038
00:53:48,830 --> 00:53:53,310
is.
It's very Spartan, a bed, a

1039
00:53:53,310 --> 00:53:57,470
military footlocker and a
closet.

1040
00:53:57,790 --> 00:54:01,030
The walls are relatively
unadorned.

1041
00:54:01,150 --> 00:54:03,030
Is there any skills you would
like to use?

1042
00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:04,750
I'm going to look for more
occult.

1043
00:54:04,990 --> 00:54:07,590
I want to see if there's any
occult traces around here.

1044
00:54:07,870 --> 00:54:12,110
Not in particular.
This might be a little bit of a

1045
00:54:12,110 --> 00:54:18,310
push for a cult, but.
You do see that there is the

1046
00:54:18,310 --> 00:54:24,750
shape of a cross where the drab
wallpaper shows less fading than

1047
00:54:24,750 --> 00:54:27,750
the area around it.
It seems like at one point he

1048
00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:31,190
was had a cross hanging up on
the wall and he has taken it

1049
00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:34,110
down, but besides that, nothing
particularly a cult.

1050
00:54:34,270 --> 00:54:38,550
All right, evidence collection.
I would have given you the same

1051
00:54:38,550 --> 00:54:41,530
thing with that.
Honestly, just looking around,

1052
00:54:41,610 --> 00:54:46,050
he has a foot locker that has
like just some small things like

1053
00:54:46,050 --> 00:54:48,570
a a toothbrush and like some
things like that.

1054
00:54:48,810 --> 00:54:53,490
His closet, as you look around
has, you know, interchangeable

1055
00:54:53,490 --> 00:54:58,090
work clothes.
It's if you're looking to to get

1056
00:54:58,090 --> 00:55:01,370
the thing that's going to break
this cakes wide open, you're

1057
00:55:01,370 --> 00:55:22,220
really not finding it here.
Thanks for listening.

1058
00:55:22,220 --> 00:55:27,340
Ghost schools and all who lay
beyond our cast this week

1063
00:55:45,660 --> 00:55:49,460
It's become one of my favorites,

1064
00:55:49,460 --> 00:55:54,300
catalog going back to like 2009.

1067
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:09,740
Russell remains more or less an
enigma to us all, but Nathan has

1068
00:56:09,740 --> 00:56:14,500

Special thanks to our editor
Dominic.

1072
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:27,660
I realized I hadn't been
crediting him or our other

1073
00:56:27,660 --> 00:56:31,300
editor, Russell, for the editing
of her episode so far, but they

1074
00:56:31,340 --> 00:56:33,700
are awesome.
I'll make sure they get credit

1075
00:56:33,700 --> 00:56:36,140
in the future because you don't
get a show without an editor.

1076
00:56:37,540 --> 00:56:40,100
Just a friendly reminder.
We want you to join us on our
