[SPEAKER_02]: So pretty awesome.
[SPEAKER_04]: You got a little Joe's character with a waffle iron.
[SPEAKER_03]: That would no really something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I know For five points to get information stick their hand in the waffle iron clothes it Maybe on someone's face Put their hand in the waffle iron.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your character walks around with a waffle pattern on the side of the face for the rest of the tamten All right, let's set the scene
[SPEAKER_02]: Over top of the Grover's Real Motel there with what is it the S-Shutty?
[SPEAKER_02]: Meryl Shutty?
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember that correctly?
[SPEAKER_02]: Midnight skies, it's probably, let's say, what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Three, four in the morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys are dead tired.
[SPEAKER_02]: So much shit you've been through.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was reading about how even make sure you pay attention to the players when they're losing sanity because that's exhausting.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys are fucking tired.
[SPEAKER_02]: You feel like we've been in this motel for a week now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it has been.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not a lot of stuff happening in work.
[SPEAKER_02]: At least a month of people listening to this podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been great.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot has happened.
[SPEAKER_02]: The doctor is now gone with the baby.
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe Merrick is in room 11 with Jane.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cain and McLaughlin were outside.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got the Phenoma X people handcuffed to a radiator, and you went and listened to them and you heard the guy, you heard him say to the younger woman the camera operator, you know, just get some sleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're there,
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't seem to be trying to get out or anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're probably taking this chance to rest.
[SPEAKER_02]: My clock line was going through the van.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pain, did you just come out and talk to strangers at what you were doing?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I had a phone call with Darren to trying to figure out some stuff about loose ends.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was sort of stealthily checking in on the people.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like leaning on the wall to hear that conversation.
[SPEAKER_04]: You were just talking about between our two hostages.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, that we're holding.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, and I turned and I looked and saw, but Glockland.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you guys were just about just talking and you were, he told you he was going in room 11.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think you were going down the check on room 4.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I had just finished loading the back of the car with the phenomena, stuff that I took from their room.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I went in to see Jane and Merrick and Merrick told me that the doctor had left with the baby.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I ran out after the doctor and apparently lost time.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you said that I didn't have control over my character anymore,
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so yeah, there was a little bit of you woke up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would not even woke up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was suddenly just at the road looking down the road for a car.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then as you guys are partying, you're about to go in room 11.
[SPEAKER_02]: Came going to walk down.
[SPEAKER_02]: Key notices you stop in front of room 11 and turn left and then go into room 12.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then that's where we pick it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: My Glockland again, involuntarily.
[SPEAKER_04]: moves to a different room.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cain says what the shit under his breath and turns and starts sort of jog walking towards 11.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can I tell from where I am if McLaughlin closed the door behind him?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is closed, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: I go up to 11.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that where he came out of?
[SPEAKER_04]: I forget we're in the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where in the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: We got in the parking lot, weren't we?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, so I open the door to 11.
[SPEAKER_04]: I assume Jane still passed out on the bad and Marix in their gardener.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ray, we got an issue.
[SPEAKER_04]: Watch my six.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, of course we do.
[SPEAKER_04]: What's in your head?
[SPEAKER_04]: The rookie just ran into 12.
[SPEAKER_04]: Looks like he's having another episode.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know what he did 20 minutes ago where he just ran out into the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he was just having one of his little hiccifits.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you mean episode?
[SPEAKER_03]: Not what you mean?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was more than a hiccifit.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he sort of lost control for a minute.
[SPEAKER_02]: We cut two McLaughlin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Boo, you just find yourself standing in room 12.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can smell the dead body.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're looking at the table where
[SPEAKER_02]: That case was brought by the doctor, that has the leader bottle spray bottles, that's the texty Cronoplasm, the flash tech, dash dash, flash tech, 2.0, turbo, okay, great, so
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, you ever know that feeling when you like go into the garage for something and you walk into the garage and like, the fuck am I doing here?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think that's what he's going to think.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just been like such a crazy night so far with everything that's going on.
[SPEAKER_04]: So he just sort of binds himself to the room and it's weird that he didn't remember coming in here.
[SPEAKER_04]: But he knows he must have come in here for something.
[SPEAKER_04]: So he's going to sort of start, he's just going to look around.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like when you find yourself in the garage, it's not like you leave the garage.
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably should leave the garage.
[SPEAKER_04]: But instead I just stand there like an idiot looking around trying to remember what I came in for.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to stand there like an idiot looking around.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, okay, dead body in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_04]: Case with the detection equipment.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bad smell.
[SPEAKER_04]: How are we going to get this body out of here?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so he's just standing there thinking like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's go to the merits of team.
[SPEAKER_02]: With shame, that's the sleep on the bed.
[SPEAKER_04]: What's the dilemma?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the rookie just ran into 12.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's having another one of these episodes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You said that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You think he's... You think the flash text... ...taking over?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe in an increasing fashion?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: What if he goes course and I'll be honest.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, of course he's going to.
[SPEAKER_03]: Fuck.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just keeping an eye on him.
[SPEAKER_03]: We might figure out something still.
[SPEAKER_03]: It might not be...
[SPEAKER_03]: The end, just yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright, it's zombie protocol.
[SPEAKER_03]: Remind my interns, take them out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yep, yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool, cool, cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Merit and Kane alertness.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I roll in 96.
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably even going to check my stats.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I got an important call to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he hangs up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he dials another number.

[SPEAKER_02]: And the phone ring beside him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mike, would you like to describe who's in that car?
[SPEAKER_02]: Ration further, burner phone.
[SPEAKER_04]: You see a tall slender man in a black suit with a black tie behind the wheel of a non-descript sedan, brown and color.
[SPEAKER_04]: He has short brown hair, neatly trimmed.
[SPEAKER_04]: He has a mustache, neatly trimmed, and his eyes are set straight ahead.
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't take his eyes off the road for even the second.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, deal with him as you see fit.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know that you don't know much, but they're good agents.
[SPEAKER_04]: How long they've been with conspiracy?
[SPEAKER_02]: They're pretty fresh.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they've seen a couple things.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is their first encounter with this though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know a lot more than they do?
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I get it, I understand why you called me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're the first person that calls him to find out what's going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have the spray for the flash tech.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what he liked to call it now.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, now he doesn't say flash tech.
[SPEAKER_02]: He calls it the first three that's a protoplasm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Code names.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shutter, sand.
[SPEAKER_04]: Operational basis.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I understand.
[SPEAKER_02]: There is, we got some rumors.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know much.

[SPEAKER_02]: Not eight off.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: No signing of him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Of a feeling they know what's going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: So look for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if there'll be anyone in the town.
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone, you know, it's definitely not a country bump and look for someone's smart, someone's sharp.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have to like a normal person.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'll be in touch with you within 10 hours.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: The hangs up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or let's go back to Merit and Cain.

[SPEAKER_02]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so... 38.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um... fuck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so if I project it onto a bond, I can get back on D4.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you spend willpower to reduce the loss, so that amount is always a one D4, so roll a one D4, and minus your willpower by that much.
[SPEAKER_02]: to lose four sanity now instead of six and you reduce a bond by the same amount so which bond you already projected a little bit on to your was it you one of you did I have to project it on to my protege at the the newspaper that I had it the right yeah investigative journal and it doesn't matter now about my walk and it also projected onto
[SPEAKER_04]: And now, Dick Kane will be projecting onto his former military teammate Nathan O'Reilly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, the dude with PTSD, your evil bastard.
[SPEAKER_04]: He sort of relies on me to check in on him and keep his spirits up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Make sure he's eaten right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I kind of think.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a glaucon just projected onto the ceiling.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the wall behind the amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And on us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Chutter did America did you do any projecting or you just eat that?
[SPEAKER_02]: I did I wrote a four Oh, so I reduced my current willpower.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep Down to four oh I good night's sleep though you can get some back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay, and then I'm gonna project again on to my protege
[SPEAKER_03]: We need a Cortez.
[SPEAKER_03]: So is that a- She's basically getting fired.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure she doesn't get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that six projected on to her?
[SPEAKER_02]: Total from the last- Yeah, what did she do last time to the- I can't remember.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's at five now, so it's going to a one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: A one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're still a shred of a relationship there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Barely.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever happens.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I barely any willpower.
[SPEAKER_03]: And now Kurt and I have established that we went through our breaking point.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess a while ago, because we fucked up or reading our character sheet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, Kurt.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's correct.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It would have been when the baby came out.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's when you went and broke.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: An agent whose sanity reaches a breaking point gains at this order.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is like a release valve.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, do you have something to say?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I do, sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Our current breaking point is our current sandy minus our will power correct?
[SPEAKER_02]: Your first breaking point should have been the out of your maximum of what you started at minus your will power.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sanity which would have been okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, basically you're well.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so you're good.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're doing it right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm good, yeah, I'm fucked.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because some things can affect that, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Depending on what kind of, you know, pre-delta green incident you had, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: If it was something like helplessness and or something like that, you can start known with a reduced sanity.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, you get a disorder, like a release valve or intolerable stress.
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't have to manifest right away.
[SPEAKER_02]: It can just be like the beginning of a ticking time bomb, but it's a disorder takes the form of an irrational adaptation to the trauma that has produced it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we'll just for the sake of it, we're just gonna say it was produced right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: When my glaucoma's gun was pointed at you and then he just put it under his chin and blew his own head off.
[SPEAKER_02]: But,
[SPEAKER_02]: I sort of don't have to decide anything hard and fast now, but even with that huge loss, how does this manifesto-american change?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's my clock, which is drops to the floor at there.
[SPEAKER_03]: In the moment?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: How does it one day, next?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I would vomit into the sink.
[SPEAKER_02]: Into the sink that is glowing purple with all of the,
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I do like one, like good spit into the sink and I'm like, oh, it's like all purple and gross in that room and stinks and I was just like run out of the Run out of the room entirely and like try to hold myself up on like a post outside when your vomit hits the sink it also turns slightly purple From all the spray being dumped down there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lovely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want me to roll another sanity check this out?
[SPEAKER_02]: You've already lost sanity for that one
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm running outside and like trying to hold myself up on to post.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just heaving, like dry heaving or throwing up or outside.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so Kane's gonna process this a little differently, because he's got a lot of battle experience, a lot of trauma experience.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's seen a lot of people die and get shot before.
[SPEAKER_04]: So,
[SPEAKER_04]: This is definitely affecting him really negatively, but I think he's good and not react in the moment.
[SPEAKER_04]: To this, you know, it'll sort of he'll get blood splattered on his face and sort of like wipe it away calmly and just kind of keep going about his business.
[SPEAKER_04]: But this is gonna deeply affect him.
[SPEAKER_04]: He already has a sleep disorder where he has nightmares in insomnia.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I could see this really kind of like kicking that up and him not really getting any sleep.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, sort of while he's awake, suppressing it, but while he's sleeping not being able to express it,
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, very interesting.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, all of this sanity lost here on the one day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you guys are mentally exhausted.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we just feeling like shit-kick this whole night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Been the craziest, craziest night of your life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you, what do you guys do?
[SPEAKER_02]: Merrick's outside, kind of compose himself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kain is, Kain is just pushing it down.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, just think about it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't feel anything, just keep working.
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to get the hell out of 12.
[SPEAKER_04]: I walk outside to get some fresh air.
[SPEAKER_04]: What was the door behind me?
[SPEAKER_03]: You see, Merrick Pukin up against like, that's the port post.
[SPEAKER_03]: near the door, near a handrail or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: To the first time in a long time, too, in between your puits, it's just silence.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing you share some crickets out in the field, but probably for the first time in a long time, it's just being chaos.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is just silence.
[SPEAKER_03]: I look up and see, Caine, Waco.
[SPEAKER_03]: Barfall of it, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm like, there's like tears, you know, throwing up so hard.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're like cry almost, you're like in pain.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your eyes are watering.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm wiping with my, like, tweet blazer, the puke off my mouth.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does America have a beard or mustache or anything?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, like a five day shadow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cain's just falling back on his training so he walks outside and he's just immediately starts doing like a situation report in his head, he's checking to see if that lady the running the motel is still standing in the window staring at us.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like scanning for threats across the parking lot sort of like on-edge hyper alert right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: If me on shot might be a problem.
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me an alertness.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a 58 under 61 nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you look down at the office and you see the booklines open and that lady's just like emotionless life's leap?
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus, I check my watch.
[SPEAKER_02]: What time is she still spying on it?
[SPEAKER_02]: 351 AM.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, Merrick's gonna walk back into the room.
[SPEAKER_03]: 12.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he like, yeah, and he's like cursing under his breath.
[SPEAKER_03]: Fucking kid.
[SPEAKER_03]: Glockling, stupid fucking kid.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he pulls the camera from like over his under his arm, the sling, and he walks into the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's like the only thing that kind of just makes him feel grounded, he's like, makes him just feel like I'm just doing my job.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just a journalist.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's document, I'll write about this later and he takes a photo.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, Sean's what's left of him in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_03]: Next to the tub, I'm guessing he's like slunched over the toilet, something in half in the tub, half out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you just dropped it and you pulled it onto the ground.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like blankets in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, I've just pulled it off.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, well, you have atoms still in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna mess.
[SPEAKER_03]: He just takes a few photos and walks out.
[SPEAKER_03]: It feels a little bit more sane.
[SPEAKER_03]: Lights a cigarette in the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: The fuck came.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's burn it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's burn this whole fucking place.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if that's the right play this time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that's the go-to move in the old playbook.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I feel like in a way this whole town is kind of our investigation site right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe we don't have to worry so much about the motel itself.
[SPEAKER_04]: What if we just get Jane out of here?
[SPEAKER_04]: dropped her off at her mom and dad, she's not pregnant anymore, and she's not our problem.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let the phenomena ask people to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Reclined it's safe, that's the problem, and then just walk away on the motel lady.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think our problem is that we're playing a two-safe this time.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the play is to burn it down.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't do it this time.
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't, it doesn't close the loop on anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: We still just need to go deal with the alderman.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we haven't found anything out.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're having found anything out.
[SPEAKER_04]: We haven't completed the mission.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're supposed to shut this down.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't see out burning this motel does that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Keeps people from finding out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Kaye and I just don't want to have to worry about this place.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to move on to the,
[SPEAKER_03]: To the reservoir, we're gonna go to City Hall and then we're gonna be thinking about that lady and the evidence in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_03]: All town, my friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't just burn down the only motel.
[SPEAKER_04]: An expect to just continue investigating around here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Parish has already come to check on us one time.
[SPEAKER_03]: We just watched a baby be stolen from a mother.
[SPEAKER_03]: That wasn't gonna give us shit about this small town.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that hits hard to take another drag of a smoke.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to impose the caution rules on you guys soon.
[SPEAKER_02]: You do have options.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can chain smoke or 1-D-6 hours.
[SPEAKER_03]: You win right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Damn it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can.
[SPEAKER_02]: How many hours?
[SPEAKER_02]: 1-D-6.
[SPEAKER_02]: And during that time, you can't sleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you're just like, you're just going out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But other Matt exhaustion rolls you're going to lose 1d6 wall power and you're going to take a minus through your stats.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I don't change mode, you can either go to better change smoke and then once you've done change smoke and then you're going to stay suffer the same thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know change.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cain is an adamant, no, I'm a smoker, but the thoughts are really creeping in right here, and he's watching Brace suck back a few cigarettes, and he's like, fuck, give me one of those, will you?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I tossed him the pack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you ever smoked before, is this your first time?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, you hold their way up, like in between your middle?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, he knows not a smoker, but if you pull like a pencil.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: He used to smoke a lot, but then he became like a military offense.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, all right, you get I rolled a four on the one these six if that matters.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, what do you got?
[SPEAKER_02]: I rolled a six.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you guys are gonna pull all nighters?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you can imagine going to sleep right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we can't we're gonna sleep in the room with Sean and Body in the tub like Lord your phone the phone rinse the burner phone
[SPEAKER_04]: I answer it, and I'm walking towards the car, in case I need silence.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just answer it, can't.
[SPEAKER_04]: Stairger, give me enough tape.
[SPEAKER_04]: Shit's got absolutely fucking crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: As he said last time, it's got crazy here.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's going on?
[SPEAKER_04]: Much crazier.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm approaching the car by now, and I get in the front seats, so I don't know, just like saying, let's out a lot across the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm with them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I get in the car with them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right behind the driver's seat, or Shaka?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hold back.
[SPEAKER_03]: If he's on the driver seat, I'm in the passenger seat.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Daringer, McGlocklin started going a little bit squirrely, he seemed to be having...
[SPEAKER_04]: episodes where he lost control.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe even similar to what Spivey was doing on the video.
[SPEAKER_04]: Then he suddenly ran it to room 12 and started trying to dump out the gear that you sent us with the doctor.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh shit, he jumped into the sink.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did he kick the door down and tried to confront him?
[SPEAKER_04]: And he blew his fucking brains out in the bathroom and now there's two dead bodies in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit.
[SPEAKER_02]: did you, did you see it come back out of him, the protoplasm?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once he killed himself, just liked with the body and the bathtub.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once there's no need for the host, it will leave.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, fuck.
[SPEAKER_01]: I look at Mary and I'm like, you got a dixie cup.
[SPEAKER_02]: It just keeps the door closed.
[SPEAKER_02]: About two hours away.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe three.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got someone coming down.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an agent's seat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Agent, thank you, it's got that.
[SPEAKER_01]: You haven't even thought of what you want to do with this motel?
[SPEAKER_02]: Fuck.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell, hey, came.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just, just float the idea of burning.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we say if we clean it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is page three of the Hamburg.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let wait for Saint, I'm not on the ground, so you three make some decisions together.
[SPEAKER_02]: He knows a little bit more about this ship.
[SPEAKER_02]: You might be able to fill you in on a few things.
[SPEAKER_02]: What the fuck's going on?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you specialize?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's experienced it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's just say that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you in charge?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got more experience, just to listen to him, but there's no real leadership amongst you, that makes any sense, makes decisions together.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got one more question for you, we've got, uh...
[SPEAKER_04]: Two members of this clown show media detained in one of the rooms in the motel because they were videotaping us.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got all the material.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's probably fine to just let them go.
[SPEAKER_04]: They can blame whatever they want and we don't care, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, Steve, more idiots on the radio.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I thought, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't let them get their ship out.
[SPEAKER_04]: And for it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It hangs up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Alright, Meryl, I said we go let the phenomena ex-guys go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, you said someone's coming?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think we should let them go until we're ready to get out of here, till everything's tied up with a nice little bow on top.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright, that makes sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: You want to grab some shut eye?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll keep a watch while we wait for this guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, just planned on smoking about 40 cigarettes, but, uh, sure, you're offering, yeah, all smoke the cigarettes.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll sit right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: You get some sleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Neither one of you can sleep if you've chosen the chain smoke option, which they can stimulants or chain smoke and removes the exhaustion penalty for one of these six hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: During this time your agent can't sleep.
[SPEAKER_03]: so we burn that bridge yeah all right just to fact on nicotine man yeah i can't i can't sleep right now that's a fortune where he's got that crazy body rush right now yeah i like open the door and puke and then just let it go it's just green spitball with me again what we're gonna do about that receptionistly
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we can just ignore her.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think her and everyone else in this town is under the effect of whatever's in the water.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't think we can deal with them all.
[SPEAKER_04]: If she was against us, she was a threat.
[SPEAKER_04]: She would have already called it in or alerted somebody or been threat to us.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's just sitting there watching and being weird.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I think she is calling it in.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I think a parish,
[SPEAKER_03]: Is Ty with her?
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I had that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think as soon as we leave here She's gonna tell anybody else what happened and where we went and what time we left at What direction?
[SPEAKER_03]: She's a problem I was trying to shut her out Well, you're crazy, okay, and I like that, but uh It's not just jump to conclusions here, Jesus
[SPEAKER_04]: You're the one talking about burning down the whole motel.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm not just not going to kill him, people.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're not going to set off to fire alarm and warn everybody first.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are we?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I fear a bit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, can get out of the car for a minute.
[SPEAKER_04]: I go into the trunk and grab a towel or a jacket or something.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I go and I tuck it underneath the door to 12 nice tight.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I had done with the bathroom door earlier.
[SPEAKER_03]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you went into the room?
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, just the outside.
[SPEAKER_03]: The whole room in the bio has it now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Any gap underneath the door.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've closed up nice and tight.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything else?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or we...
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to just check on Jane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fast asleep.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: She should be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fast asleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: We montage you guys pacing and smoking.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the parking lot in the room.
[SPEAKER_02]: Back in the parking lot in the car, back in the room.
[SPEAKER_02]: For a few hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you hear the sound of tires on gravel.
[SPEAKER_02]: As the...
[SPEAKER_02]: What did you call it?
[SPEAKER_02]: The uh, in the development of the script.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm described to Cadillac.
[SPEAKER_02]: You pull into Merrill's shut-eye in Brover's, Brover'sville, Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're that with a Russian mark and flexion.
[SPEAKER_04]: The power plurined a park.
[SPEAKER_04]: I looked down on my lap.
[SPEAKER_04]: I take a deep breath.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I say,
[SPEAKER_04]: Fuckin' hate Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_02]: which you recognize, you're like, I give you an alertness role.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, one day, here we go, rolling dice.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's first role.
[SPEAKER_04]: I hope that's underneath, because it's a 44-under-70.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I create success.
[SPEAKER_02]: Easy.
[SPEAKER_02]: First thing you know to choose you get out is,
[SPEAKER_02]: You see a woman looking through the blinds at you from the lobby, motel office, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just staring at you emotionless and you have an idea of knowing the situation and knowing what you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: knowing what I know about why I've been called here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it, is it morning?
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, are we like it?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's, it's more like a seven, seven AM, six, thirty AM, kind of.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we'll say seven.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sun, unhittin' the ground.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, the hills.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: So he clocks the woman behind the, uh, behind the blinds or the blinds still down.
[SPEAKER_04]: It blinds up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now she's just lookin' at me from the lobby.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now the blinds are still closed and she's just peering to them.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can just see that strip of her face with like her eyes whether it's like nothing behind them.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right And there's no one out in the parking lot at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh That's a good question which one of you rolled a six in which one of you rolled a four when you guys did your smoking party?
[SPEAKER_01]: I rolled a six can't
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, so we can see Kane is awake.
[SPEAKER_02]: Merrick, if you want to have just dosed off for the last like hour or so.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's up to you, guys.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, he had four hours, and it was like... Or a clock in the morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: But three, five, two hours, okay, so I'll say it's eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's still awake, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I fucked it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I decide.
[SPEAKER_02]: He can be asleep if you want, it's for a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, shut up, Mike, I want to sleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: What room would you sleep at?
[SPEAKER_02]: In the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sleeping in the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also with your... Brits.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's locked the car, I see.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've clocked the car immediately and you see a guy kind of passed out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where would... Where's the cane?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm in the car.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've smoked about 12 cigarettes since Merit fell asleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: The car is also very hazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you see if a face pressed against the window and sleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: A little bit of drool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just a little bit of tobacco smoke coming out of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I walk over to the car and I I knock on the driver's side window Can sort of like startled a little bit.
[SPEAKER_04]: I had zoned out for a second there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I turn and look see a new face Mary's like whoop Right through all off his face the flick up right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the new guys here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah Hey, we're open up the door.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh
[SPEAKER_04]: I has a tape for it, open up the door.
[SPEAKER_04]: Your buddy's there, no, this is a motel.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go inside.
[SPEAKER_04]: which room do you want to see the girl first or you want to see uh... got to hold on hold on what's your background you seem like you have a good grasp of what's going on you already tell you you mean as good a grasp as anyone has of any of the shit i've been with the conspiracy a while yet
[SPEAKER_04]: What can you tell us?
[SPEAKER_04]: I can tell you a lot of stuff, but I need to know some stuff first, so why don't we get out of the fucking parking lot and away from which he's all over their staring at us and sit the fuck down and talk about what's been going on for you guys.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sounds good, all right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Flip's a cigarette into the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like this guy's confidence.
[SPEAKER_04]: Came like another cigarette.
[SPEAKER_02]: The lady opens the blinds.
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems to be going about like just working at her desk and then she just see her stop and turn and just stare at your guys.
[SPEAKER_04]: Psycho Ignore, she's just a camera Okay, here we have room 12.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't go into there.
[SPEAKER_03]: You see it.
[SPEAKER_03]: How a stop-slong bottom of the door from 12 Yeah, we're in my leaven.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have hostages.
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe or is it room?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, 11 has Jane I guess she's a hostage.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks Kate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, four is your room and six was the fenomax So
[SPEAKER_04]: unconscious girl Weird infection and multiple dead bodies.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why don't we go to room six and talk?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, all right So we sit six Yeah, I've you mentioned you haven't really talked about you would think that there's another person there You think my clock went still there the compromise quote unquote one Let's Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can where's where's the third we'll get you up to speed here
[SPEAKER_04]: He had to take a little nap.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just come with me for a second.
[SPEAKER_04]: Take a little now.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Six.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go in here.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we go inside six.
[SPEAKER_04]: The hostages are in four.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I put them in your room.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we're in six.
[SPEAKER_04]: So this is the phenomena X room.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have the two people who are staying here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll hostage in four.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got hostages.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you have hostages?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they were videotaping us, and we had to compensate their stuff, and they were standing around shouting about the FBI, and things were getting a little hot.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, this is our solution.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, I mean, it's a solution.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: But there, do they see, he does air quotes here, normal?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so to speak, we've been running some tests.
[SPEAKER_04]: It seems like the water is infected.
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, they do seem normal compared to the motel lady.
[SPEAKER_04]: Where's the testing equipment?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's in 12, what's left of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I was left at it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Our partner, McGlocklin, he started having some episodes after he was infected, just randomly sort of like out of his own mind, kind of moments.
[SPEAKER_04]: How was he infected?
[SPEAKER_04]: He went into 12 and whatever was in the bathtub went up his nose.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whatever was in the bathtub.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, some sort of, uh, fleshy flesh to death.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, flesh check.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now we'll turn it over.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, uh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks like a piece of fleshy fabric thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You familiar?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but you familiar?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm a little familiar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: So he's, uh, where is he now?
[SPEAKER_04]: He said he was taking a nap.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's resting.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's he's in heaven.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now he ran into 12 suddenly having one of these episodes.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was his second of the seeming episodes maybe third potentially.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he ran into the bathroom, started dumping out the equipment for testing.
[SPEAKER_04]: And when we kicked the door down to try and confront him, he blew his brains out right in the bathroom.
[SPEAKER_04]: He really killed himself.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Instantly, he was pointing to God at us, and then instantly, he blew his own brand out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, fucking hero, that guy isn't even get a willpower role.
[SPEAKER_04]: I actually, I wouldn't call him in here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I would call him in here, because that guy was screwing us over.
[SPEAKER_04]: That guy, that guy is a champion.
[SPEAKER_04]: He must have had tons of willpower to even be able to turn the gun on himself, because he was fully automated at that point.
[SPEAKER_04]: The fact that he had one last shred just tells you what kind of an amazing man he must have been.
[SPEAKER_04]: The sheer just balls I've ever seen.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a he must have had a huge balls.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a it's a shame we don't have him with us anymore, actually.
[SPEAKER_04]: I bet he could have turned this whole situation around Who's actually super annoying and you would have?
[SPEAKER_04]: Can't see how that could be possible.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, but he's dead in there now Sure, yeah, he's well last we checked.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, all right, but Darren you're just brought something to our attention We were a little bit shocked by the sudden suicide, but after we left the room It occurred to us that
[SPEAKER_04]: The flush tech may no longer need the host, and would therefore be loose in room 12.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hence the towel under the door.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, that's our alien projection device, you know, another one of our solution.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, any, any port in the storm, I'm going to be great if you had welding equipment, you could weld the door shut, but at least you had the brains to stuff a freaking towel under there.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have linen towels, you know?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's not a welder, but it'll do a good job, a good job, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we have to go in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, yep, we definitely do, because we need to take a look at this.
[SPEAKER_04]: So did you think to bring the testing equipment out with you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you miss all gone?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all gone anyway.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all gone.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't all gone, Eric.
[SPEAKER_04]: There was at least half left.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Fuck.
[SPEAKER_04]: We need it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Guys, I hate to tell you.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can put a fucking bag over your head or something.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's more of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's more of it in room 11.
[SPEAKER_02]: The two bottles in room 11, one bottle in room 12.
[SPEAKER_04]: But what about the actual mechanism thing?
[SPEAKER_04]: Wasn't that in?
[SPEAKER_02]: What match is this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Always make the lock-in just dumping McDonald's.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was dumping the bottle sprayer.
[SPEAKER_02]: The fluid, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: You wanted the fluid, God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, but the sprayer's still...
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like a smell of sprayer.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the alder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they all do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Six-one liters sprayer, a lot of one sprayer.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think, don't get me wrong here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, curious, if we're testing things here at the motel.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the air is contaminated.
[SPEAKER_04]: The water is contaminated.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, most of the people seem to be contaminated.
[SPEAKER_04]: What do we actually need the testing equipment for?
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's all infected.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, there's, you know, there's going to, I'm sure be some individuals that we encounter that we're going to want to check to see whether they're automated or not, whether they've been, or, oh, stitter, whether they're automated, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think back to Spivey, he had like, his muscles have been replaced with this alien tissue and he had like surgery scars everywhere that this spray had lit up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying something on chain.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't fully check her, but there's part of her skin exposed and you noticed this surgical scar on her as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't seem to worry it's saying about, oh, don't, don't get me wrong.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am very worried.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is a super dangerous incident.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll be lucky if we make it out of here alive.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, well, I think you don't even worry about you.
[SPEAKER_03]: The doctor had a full-on respirator on when he came in these rooms.
[SPEAKER_03]: We were just standing around breathing in the air like idiots.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what, hopefully we can get this resolved in the next 10 hours and be out of here.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we don't need any dream, but I wouldn't be drinking any water if I was you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I wouldn't be, you know, plucking an apple off a tree and eating it, you know, if we can breathe it as little as possible and just get the fuck out of here, maybe we'll be okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, what else, Jane's in, uh, room 11.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's asleep.
[SPEAKER_03]: I gave her some sleeping pills.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who's Jane?
[SPEAKER_04]: What's Jane?
[SPEAKER_04]: What's what's Jane?
[SPEAKER_04]: What are we talking about here?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought Darren did told you.
[SPEAKER_03]: There was, we had a full-on pregnancy here.
[SPEAKER_03]: A birth.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, wood?
[SPEAKER_02]: Did Darren do tell me?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, safe.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, Darren do told you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to told you that the baby had been extracted.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_03]: right so yeah i'm thinking rate is pregnancy right while she's while she's passed out we just driver to her mom's bumper on the front porch yeah you're you're on the right track uh you know there's okay so but yeah you're right it was a super accelerated pregnancy yeah um so do you know what you're dealing with your yet i have no fucking clue saying
[SPEAKER_03]: Zero obviously I have some ideas, but I did not concrete.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's we're all sitting down, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: I sit down right Raise your hand if you've watched close encounters of the third kind I've watched the other movie Yeah aliens Obviously it's though that's that's totally real
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's 100% what we're dealing with right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I had a feeling.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is an alien takeover of a small town and an attempt to create a breach into our civilization.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's happened before.
[SPEAKER_04]: And this one seems particularly bad.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I gotta tell you guys, I don't know exactly how we're gonna stop it.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm here with you, and we'll figure it out.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the three of us have to stop by a alien invasion.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got you here.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's nice to at least have some info.
[SPEAKER_03]: And here you are.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can't worry about burned down a hotel.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's a page three, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm just three, right here.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm full of a handbook out.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've read the cap bit right there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've arsoned a bit in my time with the conspiracy, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't, I don't think this is going to call for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't.
[SPEAKER_04]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just leaned back in my chair.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're just skipping page three.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this is not quite the book, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean we we could build that we could burn this motel down and then just walk to the next building up the street and burn that one down too, but You know We we we could probably stand to get rid of McLaughlin's body and the car
[SPEAKER_04]: If you want to take a drive of the road with me with the Glockland's body in the car and we dump it off the side of the road and burn it, that's a good place to start to keep that and the other guy in the home and the other guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: The other guy, buck the other guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going in that fucking room though, saying, well, so we have a problem then because we have to go inside.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we don't have to go out of the room.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got leftover models, you said, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: So we still have spray.
[SPEAKER_03]: We just gonna leave it in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: The spray that's in there?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, the flesh tech.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pow, pow!
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, David.
[SPEAKER_04]: Flash deck!
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you get emphasized like that a little more next time, Joe, that'd be great.
[SPEAKER_02]: One thing too, and I'm not sure if I told you this, but also from your dude's experience, the, like the, the my go, which would be, would be responsive for this kind of like, high-finded mind control shit that you know about.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know that eliminating them could,
[SPEAKER_04]: really the people the council city council the alderman what about the alderman leave uh rumors are that the alderman never leave the town the city council building down hall whatever you call it right one of them is this young girl Jane's father he seems to be the ringleader we met the mother she's
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, yeah, what are these people?
[SPEAKER_04]: You've used a couple terms that sort of picked my interest already.
[SPEAKER_04]: You said automated and you referred to the video from the camera In a meco.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I know it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's it's my go so I mean, I don't know what to tell you guys, you know, take some deep breaths try not to have to make any sanity checks while I tell you this stuff, but there are
[SPEAKER_04]: other races in the universe that have visited us and this one group called the MyGo have actively worked to try to insert themselves into our society.
[SPEAKER_04]: They have
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, sort of a biotechnology that allows them to, you know, infect and host humans and we'll turn them like your buddy McLaughlin so that he's, he's no longer there.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's, he's an automaton, you know, the, the woman at the end of the lobby, I imagine what she's the motel manager, yeah, it's she's nothing more than a camera for them.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's watching you, whatever she sees.
[SPEAKER_04]: the my go see.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we can't concern ourselves with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I knew it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Half the people you're going to see in this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you seen other people acting like her?
[SPEAKER_04]: Jane's mother.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: And others around town.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're just, you know, just probably watching you drive around.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So would we say that parish was acting like that?
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he wasn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't think he was.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was the sheriff, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I thought Paris was, but the sheriff wasn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, Paris was like investigating me and busted my balls a little bit.
[SPEAKER_04]: And... Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, how do you get trying to get a straight story?
[SPEAKER_02]: You've crit-filled a very critical human role on Paris.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't have a read on that, dude at all.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: But his behavior wasn't like...
[SPEAKER_03]: The receptionist or James Mom.
[SPEAKER_04]: I...
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's going to be something that, hey, and that's good to know.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's good to know that there's something that community that haven't been infected yet.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's, it's only a matter of time unless we can address this.
[SPEAKER_04]: The trick of it's going to be from what you've told me so far is that law enforcement, the only other people in town with guns are fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: And to them, we're going to look like maniacs.
[SPEAKER_04]: If we start burning things down and charging into city halls and,
[SPEAKER_04]: Shooting whatever we have to shoot to contain this So we have to duck the police But we also have to take action here.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I don't know all right.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got this lead about the reservoir Yeah, we've got to connect the water is contaminated.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think we should check that out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, you might be using that as a way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe they got some sort of Machine up there someone another
[SPEAKER_03]: automatic person just dumping stuff into the water.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, because he sprayed everywhere, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: So when you sprayed in the air, you said there were like little bits just in the air, but then when you sprayed the water in the bathtub or in the sink, use it there.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's a little bit, or is it, like, bright, a lot?
[SPEAKER_04]: Relent, okay, so that's how they're doing it.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: We need to check the reservoir.
[SPEAKER_04]: We need to get to the city hall and find out what's going on there.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we do have to do a little bit of cleanup around here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I agree with you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we let the journalists go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Buckham, do we have all of their recordings that they took?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, great.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think that where are they right now?
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we put McLaughlin in your car.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I say we drive it off down the road that's something if you want to Arson something we can arson the car with McLaughlin and how about that?
[SPEAKER_04]: We can all have a little.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I appreciate the compromise.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're still following page three sort of like a little bit.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is there anyone else that we need to check in there?
[SPEAKER_04]: What are we going to do with the girl?
[SPEAKER_04]: You said returner to her mother, but you said her mother is also like a
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, what are we gonna do?
[SPEAKER_03]: So, we're gonna drag around, drag around, like her now we can't drag her around with us now.
[SPEAKER_04]: You might be right in getting her back to her mother.
[SPEAKER_04]: Or we just take her to the hospital.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, safe for her.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not safe for the new world.
[SPEAKER_03]: Where we should take her.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is there even a hospital in this one horse town?
[SPEAKER_04]: Or we talk about a clinic, like what have they got?
[SPEAKER_04]: There'd be a clinic at best.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we don't know who's gonna be at the clinic either.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like we also need to sort of reduce the amount of,
[SPEAKER_04]: NPCs, but they're associated with this particular event fair enough.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, that's FBI jargon you wouldn't understand what that sounds like.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice cover.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, not so nice, because now I've admitted I'm FBI, but I guess I look more FBI than anyone who's ever walked the earth.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, there's that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, why don't we go and have our little bonfire in the woods with your car here and then we can take my car back in a town and maybe we head on up to that reservoir and check it out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Unless you guys really wanna see the Alderman who are forever in town hall meetings,
[SPEAKER_04]: Where do you think we start?
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we start with the reservoir.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we burn the vehicle and then we go to the reservoir.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Drop Jane off?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Drop Jane off first, I guess.
[SPEAKER_04]: Then go to the reservoir.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let the journalists go maybe last before we drive on out of this motel forever.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I guess hanging on to them for a little longer is okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: If we're gonna leave, maybe we should cut them loose first.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, let's just take them with us.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll try them 20 minutes down the road further from where we burn the car.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just let them out into the woods.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we can do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm flying folded.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love this.
[SPEAKER_04]: They were all convinced that the FBI was here.
[SPEAKER_04]: That we were FBI.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the eyes of your cousin wasn't it?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, same why don't you go down there flash an official FBI badge tell them they're in big trouble But you're gonna let it slide this time if they leave right now and Send them out of here.
[SPEAKER_04]: They'll run off I could try that this maglocal didn't try and do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I gather he was FBI He just detained them and search their vehicle hmm
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, it's not moving as any closer.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't care what we do with him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just just take him for a drive down the road.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure, we can take him for a drive down the road.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't even want to be that close to them.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want them to get that good of a look at all of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to blindfold them.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we could blindfold them and then what if somebody sees us driving through town?
[SPEAKER_04]: They're going to be in the trunk.
[SPEAKER_04]: Line full.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry about them.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we can't put them in trunk.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because the trunk's full of all the recordings and everything.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll put the other recordings in the back seat.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not your FBI.
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to get rid of the recordings.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't care what these two.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm inclined just to slash the tires of their brand.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're taking two of you standing here in the... We're taking two of you equals.
[SPEAKER_04]: I hate to take our problems in our plan, but are we a just going to go into 12 and get McLaughlin's body and then be just weekend at Bernies.
[SPEAKER_04]: with the two reporters all together in the backseat.
[SPEAKER_04]: But one extra person back there while we have.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to do anything with the reporters.
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to just like before we go up to the reservoir, I just want to let throw the open the door to toss the keys to the handcuffs and let them walk out to find the tires on their van slash done.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's deal with that Jane and the vehicle and the recordings first.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, and then come back.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, but we have to get my glaucone's body out of that room.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we'll do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I hate to suggest it, but I think we need to try and capture that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That works.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe you use a bunch of blankets and stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: blankets.
[SPEAKER_04]: God, that's a genius idea.
[SPEAKER_04]: Who'd come up with an idea like that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Get a lot of blankets.
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_04]: And what?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going to net risk.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're all at a Dixie Cups.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've got something for it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he goes back into the trunk of his car and he pulls out this strange looking canister apparatus.
[SPEAKER_04]: Kind of looks like a big thermos.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can use this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's just do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Have fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: take full I'm not doing it for us the butt on the ground I'm not doing it I just brought this you guys go ahead and get in there and grab it what do you mean what do you mean you're not doing it is not where you're here for no no no no no I'm I'm here to provide advice

[SPEAKER_03]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get in there and you capture this thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're a big tough smart guy that came in to give us a hand.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not doing anything.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not just been talking this whole time.
[SPEAKER_03]: So here's the problem, Shutter.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been here all night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Getting fucked up in our head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: Watch a buddy kill himself.
[SPEAKER_03]: Watch a mother loser, baby to some wacko doctor, where in a respirator You go in there and you capture that thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you not rolling with us?
[SPEAKER_04]: I I hate to put this to you guys, but The conspiracy can't afford to lose me Gosh I'm just I'm just telling you guys like it is
[SPEAKER_04]: We can we can have Darin's around the phone and have him make the call and tell you guys which one of you have to go in and do it, but it's not going to be me So he fires me right well, you know what fire you mean, right I'm not going in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going in there Can you like a man of action?
[SPEAKER_04]: Mentally you might not be going in there, but physically we're both going in
[SPEAKER_03]: No, just good stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what we can do instead I flipped a page three And I just I just tap the page Come on St. Tough guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are save your wow Go in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going in came grabs the thermos out of saints and With a little bit of exasperation and you just start walking towards 12
[SPEAKER_04]: I get close to the door, and I turn, and I make eye contact with Merrick.
[SPEAKER_04]: I give him a thumbs up.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm out.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got this.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just before it goes in.
[SPEAKER_04]: Dave.
[SPEAKER_04]: My character knows things that I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Does it make more sense in this situation?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what is the greater goal here to cap?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, is it worth capturing this thing to risk losing cane?
[SPEAKER_04]: Or are we just gonna let someone else get infected?
[SPEAKER_04]: And in the end, half to essentially burn down unit 12 anyways.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, where do you think?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do my lands more on B?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's not necessarily an necessity.
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's
[SPEAKER_02]: If this protoplasm is what you have a pretty good idea, it is, it's like an...
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, an organic living compound that if you take out what's created in the MyGo, chances are it all just...
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, hey, hey, hang on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_04]: I gotta tell you, I appreciate your gumption, but I did have a thought.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why don't we just wait?
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why don't we take care of Jane?
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: And why don't we take care of the journalists?
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: We leave the room to 12.
[SPEAKER_04]: We leave the door to 12's locked.
[SPEAKER_04]: For now?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: We go and continue our investigation.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what's the worst that could happen?
[SPEAKER_04]: The worst that could happen is that the journalists knocked down the door to 12 and one of them get infected next.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we need, it's not, it's not our goal to save everyone in this town.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every single person.
[SPEAKER_02]: You also know that this shit's intelligent too, and if it came get away, it would get away.
[SPEAKER_02]: which is when I guess you guys, you weren't there but when it was in the bathtub, all the noise it was making was trying to get down the drain and try to get out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's, like, say what even safe, like if there's a chance that this can get out and down the drain, it's already gone.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I did tuck that towel under the door.
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like that's pretty tight security.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not great security, but,
[SPEAKER_04]: The only people we have to worry about are the journalists.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why don't we leave the journalists in there, too?
[SPEAKER_04]: We can deal with all of this later.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can return Jane.
[SPEAKER_04]: And let's go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, she'll take Jane from before she wakes up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's get that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's get that done.
[SPEAKER_04]: OK. And even if we stay here and keep an eye on things, we're all going together.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, let's stick together.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we want, uh, no, it doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's just go together.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can't go get her.
[SPEAKER_02]: There he goes in there and this picture up, she's asleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she's asleep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, carry out to the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which car are you taking?
[SPEAKER_04]: Take mine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's take the caddy.
[SPEAKER_03]: As we're walking out, I'm just gonna like, I just know that that lady is gonna be peaking the blinds and just look over there and do one of these.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm watching you too.
[SPEAKER_02]: She just stairs that yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're watching you.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's like stalking the sugar packets that she just stops, and then turns to just stairs that you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't bother, Shutter.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope that message got to the hive mind.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, hey, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you throw Jane in the car?
[SPEAKER_02]: You put it in reverse and leave the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where are you guys going?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, we're not at the motel.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, we're not at the motel.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, like, okay, so we did do we load all this stuff up into your car?
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we taking two cars?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that we were burned in the one car.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, we're just going to leave.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to leave the car too.
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't need to worry about anything, no one's going to come around, even if parish comes around.
[SPEAKER_03]: He says, I don't think so, I'm not leaving all of that recording in the car.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're taking that with us.
[SPEAKER_03]: All the stuff from Thamamax, we're taking that.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, I'm telling you.
[SPEAKER_03]: That lady is talking to someone, perisher, whoever they come down here, they're like, so busted, or she's seen us loaded.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but the Michael weren't going to care about those recordings.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's going to be Joe Tennessee, who hears a bullet on the news.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's going to care about those recordings.
[SPEAKER_04]: Takes two seconds.
[SPEAKER_04]: Say, I'm just going to throw it at the trunk.
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't have to worry about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tired of worrying about stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's load all that stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: It stands already.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just let me burn the hotel down and went to bed about anything.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I got to worry about everything.
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, so what do you want to do?
[SPEAKER_04]: Burn down the hotel and what do you want to do with the journalists?
[SPEAKER_04]: So we drive the journalists up the road.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ditch them inside of the road.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're time-folded.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not journalists, OK?
[SPEAKER_04]: He just got journalists.
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: I misspoke.
[SPEAKER_04]: They pick the hacks up the road.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just taking the material.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're in the trunk.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's move everything over.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's still going to watch it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the whole time.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they're still going to know where everything is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: She watches you in the whole time.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You drive out and you drive down the lane.
[SPEAKER_02]: We won Reservoir first.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to pick you a spot up a lot of dead road somewhere and just burn the recording.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we don't even have to worry about that stuff anymore.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I agree.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can't montage it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, montage it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You take everything to the side of the road.
[SPEAKER_02]: You light a fire.
[SPEAKER_02]: You burn all of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's all destroyed.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's drop Jane off.
[SPEAKER_04]: Next.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You pull up to her to her house.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're just literally just going to carry out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Put her on the doorstep and walk away.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll ring the doorbell.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're standing.
[SPEAKER_04]: No no, okay, I'm just gonna place her.
[SPEAKER_04]: They've got a they've got like one of those swings hanging from the front porch Right, it is later across the swing and Bring the doorbell and leave Nicky Nicky Nicky during the dawner.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah All right, you start to drive away and you see the door open and the lady looks around and then looks over and sees Jay And then just stand there and then turn and send ghosts inside Oh weird.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, we tried
[SPEAKER_02]: Where do you head now?
[SPEAKER_02]: Altarine, Rhett's mark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can we go, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do we have food and stuff?
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like my character is probably getting hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: He has a probably starving.
[SPEAKER_02]: And actually, you guys haven't slept still.
[SPEAKER_03]: So after you're going to sleep on the way up to the reservoir.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be good six-hour drive, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have a little, you have a little nap, a little nap ski.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I get you guys to roll a six-sided for me?
[SPEAKER_02]: Merrick and Kane, not you, uh...
[SPEAKER_02]: Roll the sticks again?
[SPEAKER_02]: You might be bad?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this one's bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay, maybe it's your little catnaps.
[SPEAKER_02]: You lose one willpower?
[SPEAKER_02]: Kane, you lose six.
[SPEAKER_02]: Six, little power.
[SPEAKER_02]: Six willpower.
[SPEAKER_02]: I light another cigarette.
[SPEAKER_02]: You laugh in the face of the exhaustion rules.
[SPEAKER_02]: and you can take more similar to keep going but you're still at still cost you one d six well-point okay i have four okay i can't sleep last night is it all fucking look like it in the love compartment it is upers i'll keep you going
[SPEAKER_04]: can reach in there pops a couple from the bottle and passes over to Merrick.
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright dude, you don't lose that in the world power.
[SPEAKER_02]: You put off the world power.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, I'm wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, but this offset's a for 2D-6 hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you, okay, hold on, let me see here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hardly, but I'll set it for 2D-6.
[SPEAKER_02]: But as you can take more time when you keep going, but after every dose after the first cost, 1D-6 will power.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, so you can still stay awake, but you still lose your
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're on our first now.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's- Oh, I did lose this deck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you still lose this deck, but you can stay away.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: I won't give you any minuses.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't lose the mechanical penalty, but you still lose the willpower points.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are taking our first two, man?
[SPEAKER_03]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_03]: I only lost one.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're doing all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Not really, but not as bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, where you guys headed?
[SPEAKER_02]: The reservoir is in the hill's north of town, a small wooded area, and there's a little bit of garbage, potato chip bags, messy beer cans, like little campfires.
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely like the talk about the place where kids hang out.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going up in the smoke weed and have a beer.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no one up there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty chill.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you guys do?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, were there any cars we pulled up no cars there's no in there at all is there any facility around the reservoir Chamberlain yeah, it's got a little fence with a With a like a pump state a little pump station to be a little gate I'm gonna spray I'm gonna walk over to the water and spray the open reservoir So it closed brighter than anything you've seen so far
[SPEAKER_04]: Whoa, I can think this might be the source.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, let's get started at pumps that's negating.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I started investigating around, is there anything that looks like it's in the water or anything attached to the pump station or anything like that?
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, pull my gun up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, there's, you open up the pump station and nothing out of the ordinary.
[SPEAKER_04]: What, where's the water coming in from?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like is it an elevated reservoir that's just, you know, basically catching rainwater in that or is it, yeah, or that coming in water mountains?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, is it coming in from a stream or river?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there's no like obvious source, like a river or a stream or anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, you feel like there's nothing like actively
[SPEAKER_03]: poisoning the water.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but you can change it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's definitely.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's already been done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's already been done.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the source.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah What do you think, Saint?
[SPEAKER_04]: We do anything with this information.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I would love to have found you know some kind of You know alien equipment or something up here that we could have sabotaged and and Rectons sort of stopped us from happening what it looks like the damage has already been done must we Unless we wait a second
[SPEAKER_04]: Compostation is there a way to turn off the water to the city?
[SPEAKER_02]: Shit, see That's actually a good idea I've got a mechanical or any sort of roll and some skill that would help you out I Can blow that shit up demo lishens
[SPEAKER_04]: I, yeah, he doesn't have anything that would help him figure that out, but I think you're on to something here, Merrick.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if I can figure out how to shut it off, but maybe if we blow it up, it won't keep feeding water down to the city.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that was Kane that said that, but yeah, that's a good idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you, do you have anything that, is there like an out feed pipe somewhere?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there'd have to be something you can blow up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't say I'm a water pump water reservoir, specialist by any means, but I don't have anything to do with, though.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or do I?
[SPEAKER_03]: We shut up the water to this whole town.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm, yeah, like that's, we're gonna create, like a crisis, just gonna be more eyes on this town.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're going to be like telling other towns close by.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have a water crisis.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to be shipping in water bottles of water.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: But maybe that might help though.
[SPEAKER_04]: Damn it might help.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would have loved to have come up here and just found, you know, like the goddamn mango spaceship right here, pumping shit into the reservoir and have that be it, but it's not what's happening.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just now I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just thinking it through, that's all you're, before we know you're right, it's a bit of a last resort idea.
[SPEAKER_04]: And honestly, I didn't bring a box full of grenades.
[SPEAKER_04]: Either of you guys happen to have any C4, like in your back pocket, because I look over at King knowingly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've got my bomb diffusel kit back in the car at the motel, but I'm not packing any explosives.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's a moot point.
[SPEAKER_04]: But what's next, you guys tell me more about this, the older man.
[SPEAKER_04]: How'd you find out about the older man?
[SPEAKER_04]: Who said that they're never leaving town hall?
[SPEAKER_01]: I just worried about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was a bit of a share of Oakley and wouldn't have been.
[SPEAKER_04]: Was it Jane?
[SPEAKER_04]: He spent a lot of time with her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was Jane.
[SPEAKER_04]: Was Jane, wasn't it?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that would have been Jane.
[SPEAKER_04]: And how does she know?
[SPEAKER_04]: Her dad is Mr. Allen, the head, alderman.
[SPEAKER_04]: And apparently he never comes home.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that sounds suspicious and alien is shit, so why don't we go and check out the town hall?
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, do we need to go and clean up our mess back at the motel first?
[UNKNOWN]: Ah.
[SPEAKER_02]: As you guys are caught and played the hit, can I get a alertness role?
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_01]: A 95.
[SPEAKER_04]: 64 over.
[SPEAKER_04]: 40, 170.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank God.
[UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you guys are contemplating a talking end?
[SPEAKER_02]: St. You pick something up and you turn towards the road that drove up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you see a car come over a little crest.
[SPEAKER_02]: Local sheriff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we'll see you next time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I hate those guys good thing we didn't just blow up the water as well
