1
00:00:01,791 --> 00:00:05,814
1998, the world thought it was breathing easy post-Cold War.

2
00:00:05,935 --> 00:00:11,660
Well, sometimes those shadows just change shape, while the headlines keep folks looking
the other way.

3
00:00:12,622 --> 00:00:19,308
Out on the buzzing new worldwide web, some crank named Arthur Finch started spilling
secrets from his GeoCities.

4
00:00:19,549 --> 00:00:24,994
He was shacked up in Jerome, Arizona, a copper ghost town playing tourist trap in a
mountainside.

5
00:00:25,479 --> 00:00:27,822
This wasn't just UFO nonsense.

6
00:00:27,822 --> 00:00:31,585
Finch was dropping terms and descriptions.

7
00:00:31,746 --> 00:00:35,710
Well, things that lit up red flags in deep dark rooms.

8
00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:39,093
The program heard these echoes and the call went out.

9
00:00:39,234 --> 00:00:43,698
Two agents called in from Virginia, Phoenix bound.

10
00:00:43,939 --> 00:00:44,640
Their job?

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,681
Find Finch.

12
00:00:45,681 --> 00:00:46,822
Find a source?

13
00:00:46,822 --> 00:00:47,562
Shut it down.

14
00:00:47,562 --> 00:00:48,503
oh

15
00:00:48,819 --> 00:00:55,767
before whatever nightmare Finch stumbled upon crawls its way out of a deep dark cave into
the harsh desert light.

16
00:00:56,468 --> 00:00:59,030
Welcome to the Dead Letter Bureau.

17
00:01:09,746 --> 00:01:17,377
Hello, I'm Nick Sayers and I am the handler of this Delta Green campaign set in Jerome,
Arizona in 1998.

18
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,579
I am Christina and I am playing the role of Agent Ryan.

19
00:01:28,815 --> 00:01:32,453
Jordan and I'll be playing agent Dale Sandusky.

20
00:01:32,989 --> 00:01:41,611
I'm here with Agent Ryan and Agent Dell, kicking off our first Delta Green actual play.

21
00:01:41,611 --> 00:01:43,193
Thank you for listening.

22
00:01:43,193 --> 00:01:48,440
Agents, let's start with a straightforward question.

23
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,961
What are you doing at home right now?

24
00:01:49,961 --> 00:01:50,242
uh

25
00:01:50,393 --> 00:01:55,765
I'd probably be out in my small greenhouse watering some plants.

26
00:01:55,765 --> 00:02:03,342
Yeah, I reckon I'd probably be whittling a little bit with like a lawn chair up on my roof
so I could see the sunrise.

27
00:02:03,342 --> 00:02:03,713
Okay.

28
00:02:03,713 --> 00:02:06,675
So this means you guys are off work.

29
00:02:06,675 --> 00:02:11,279
Some of you might be retired, but you are not working right now, so you're at home.

30
00:02:11,279 --> 00:02:20,008
You're in your sunroom watering plants, and from inside you have your computer speakers
turned up and you hear a...

31
00:02:20,308 --> 00:02:20,840
sound.

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,198
definitely my Toshiba satellite.

33
00:02:23,322 --> 00:02:25,709
I would know that sound anywhere.

34
00:02:26,648 --> 00:02:30,989
Yeah, it's a ICQ message and it's from an unknown contact.

35
00:02:30,989 --> 00:02:33,677
So I'm a little wary, but I open it.

36
00:02:33,677 --> 00:02:43,777
You open it and at first you're extremely confused because it says, come enjoy a night at
the opera in Phoenix, Arizona.

37
00:02:43,777 --> 00:02:46,097
And it has the time of 10 a.m.

38
00:02:46,097 --> 00:02:48,028
the next day.

39
00:02:48,028 --> 00:02:50,476
But as you...

40
00:02:51,230 --> 00:03:02,481
take a second with it, you realize that someone at the FBI told you you might be getting
an invitation to the opera and it was a secret operation that they would want you to go

41
00:03:02,481 --> 00:03:02,862
on.

42
00:03:02,862 --> 00:03:09,111
Okay, yeah, I normally probably wouldn't accept an invitation to the opera, but since
somebody gave me a heads up.

43
00:03:09,111 --> 00:03:16,954
And you would know that you're going to Phoenix, Arizona to probably end up at the FBI
field office based on what this other contact said.

44
00:03:16,954 --> 00:03:22,239
But you know nothing of the operation or the team that would be inviting you.

45
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:25,132
But how, you know, how would you get there by 10 a.m.

46
00:03:25,132 --> 00:03:26,136
the next day?

47
00:03:26,136 --> 00:03:27,496
where do I live?

48
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:33,753
I probably live on the East coast somewhere.

49
00:03:33,753 --> 00:03:37,700
mm hmm.

50
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:38,161
Yeah.

51
00:03:38,161 --> 00:03:41,639
So I think I would try to book a red eye flight.

52
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:46,724
I'll call my travel agent and see if they can help.

53
00:03:47,202 --> 00:03:55,865
Yeah, that's really smart because the FBI did say any type of accommodations for this
would be reimbursed, but not through the agency.

54
00:03:55,865 --> 00:03:59,838
So doing it on a personal level and not through the agency is what is recommended.

55
00:03:59,838 --> 00:04:02,967
Okay, I'll call up Debbie, my travel agent.

56
00:04:03,124 --> 00:04:09,428
Yeah, Debbie's able to get you on a red eye straight into Phoenix and book you a hotel.

57
00:04:09,428 --> 00:04:12,366
Three stars, but what can you get at last minute, right?

58
00:04:12,366 --> 00:04:16,704
All right, Dell, you're whittling, watching the sunset.

59
00:04:16,704 --> 00:04:18,708
You probably don't have a computer.

60
00:04:18,708 --> 00:04:19,964
Do you have a computer?

61
00:04:19,964 --> 00:04:23,692
No, they are not allowed like within five miles of my property.

62
00:04:23,866 --> 00:04:26,811
Yeah, yeah, I figured that.

63
00:04:26,811 --> 00:04:36,549
So what you get or hear is just a from under your door behind you, just a sound of a
swishing sound.

64
00:04:36,549 --> 00:04:38,484
That better not be you again, Rufus.

65
00:04:38,484 --> 00:04:43,565
And I'll just like swivel around, grab the shotgun from underneath my Whitland chair.

66
00:04:44,415 --> 00:04:49,240
Yeah, you swivel around and it is indeed not Rufus.

67
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,138
You are used to getting strange communications at strange times.

68
00:04:54,138 --> 00:05:01,296
It doesn't do well for your paranoia, but you see a very familiar envelope sitting under
your door.

69
00:05:01,296 --> 00:05:03,295
Then what do they want again?

70
00:05:03,295 --> 00:05:05,668
Yeah, you open it up, same invitation.

71
00:05:05,668 --> 00:05:13,688
You are invited to the opera in Phoenix, Arizona, AKA the field office there to meet with
presumably the handler you've been working with.

72
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:22,532
His name is Agent Butterfield and he's usually the one who pulls you into these external
operations.

73
00:05:22,532 --> 00:05:23,746
Yeah, all right.

74
00:05:23,746 --> 00:05:26,093
Same tight time frame here.

75
00:05:26,688 --> 00:05:28,151
same timeframe.

76
00:05:28,165 --> 00:05:39,283
Okay, well I'm gonna saddle up my motorbike, little road pack, and I'm gonna hitch ride
down to the local Greyhound station.

77
00:05:39,283 --> 00:05:44,826
Got like $4 in my back pocket, and I'll take a bus from Santa Fe over to Phoenix.

78
00:05:45,356 --> 00:05:48,110
All right, a quick ride and a beautiful ride.

79
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:53,797
So you both end up in Phoenix in the middle of the night, pretty dead place at night.

80
00:05:53,797 --> 00:05:55,839
It's still like 80 degrees out.

81
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,666
You're a little bit used to that Dell, but agent Ryan, that is way too hot for the fall.

82
00:06:01,666 --> 00:06:03,128
So you're already sweating.

83
00:06:03,128 --> 00:06:05,264
Your pits are...

84
00:06:05,264 --> 00:06:10,093
getting wet and you get to your nice air conditioned hotel and relax.

85
00:06:10,093 --> 00:06:14,329
Del, what type of accommodations would you be booking for yourself, if any at all?

86
00:06:14,329 --> 00:06:17,532
a motel with the bed far out of town.

87
00:06:17,532 --> 00:06:23,197
They probably have a pool, but it's like brown and milky and it hasn't been used in who
knows how long.

88
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,711
Yeah, there are pink flamingos painted along the walls as well.

89
00:06:27,711 --> 00:06:32,042
And it's a triple decker, not just a double decker.

90
00:06:32,042 --> 00:06:33,403
So it goes three stories up.

91
00:06:33,403 --> 00:06:36,603
You're able to get on the third story and a corner one.

92
00:06:36,603 --> 00:06:41,426
So there are no windows and you just have one doorway to protect.

93
00:06:41,426 --> 00:06:42,472
Does that suit you?

94
00:06:42,472 --> 00:06:44,598
you guys is fancy around here.

95
00:06:45,524 --> 00:06:46,827
Yeah.

96
00:06:46,827 --> 00:06:52,401
And the soda machine right outside your door, it's some nice white noise and you get a
good night's rest.

97
00:06:52,401 --> 00:06:52,842
All right.

98
00:06:52,842 --> 00:06:56,721
Morning comes and you just gonna roll into the field office?

99
00:06:56,721 --> 00:06:58,673
I don't roll into just anywhere.

100
00:06:58,673 --> 00:07:03,210
So I wake up very early to get ready for the day.

101
00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:06,367
Make sure I iron my t-shirt, get it nice and tucked in.

102
00:07:06,367 --> 00:07:07,792
Yeah, yeah, you're all set.

103
00:07:07,792 --> 00:07:10,078
Del, you dressing up for this occasion?

104
00:07:10,078 --> 00:07:20,513
Whatever that means, yeah, I mean, I got like a couple layers on, inadvisable in the heat,
but they're just kind of like, you know, long and flowing like a desert bedouin that

105
00:07:20,513 --> 00:07:21,564
shopped at Goodwill.

106
00:07:21,564 --> 00:07:31,009
And I'll go ahead and post up at like whatever place might be across the way from the
field office for maybe a good two hours before call time.

107
00:07:31,009 --> 00:07:33,860
And I'll wander, you know, maybe five minutes late.

108
00:07:34,096 --> 00:07:36,581
Yeah, go ahead and roll me alertness.

109
00:07:36,688 --> 00:07:37,562
Yeah.

110
00:07:37,562 --> 00:07:38,093
of us.

111
00:07:38,093 --> 00:07:38,851
Yeah.

112
00:07:39,846 --> 00:07:43,926
Oh, that is triple zeros.

113
00:07:44,174 --> 00:07:44,815
All right.

114
00:07:44,815 --> 00:07:53,385
You know, you stand across the street, one of the busiest bus stations downtown, and there
are just buses constantly driving in front of you.

115
00:07:53,385 --> 00:07:54,627
You don't catch much.

116
00:07:54,627 --> 00:08:00,695
Agent Ryan, what do you, when you're approaching the field office, are you sitting around
early kind of scoping it out as well?

117
00:08:00,695 --> 00:08:05,095
No, I arrive very punctual and walk right in.

118
00:08:05,121 --> 00:08:07,022
All right, what was your alertness roll?

119
00:08:08,523 --> 00:08:10,204
Okay, yeah.

120
00:08:10,204 --> 00:08:12,388
Yeah, you don't pick up anything either.

121
00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:15,310
you know, Agent Dell, you do see...

122
00:08:15,359 --> 00:08:27,461
Agent Ryan walk in, you're not sure you're gonna be paired up, but it looks like a little
bit anachronistic for this desert heat, wearing very thick jeans, has a t-shirt, looks

123
00:08:27,461 --> 00:08:30,334
kinda sweaty, not accustomed to this heat.

124
00:08:30,334 --> 00:08:33,749
But you roll in, are you both going straight to the briefing room?

125
00:08:33,749 --> 00:08:36,662
I assume there's a lady named Peg working at a desk somewhere.

126
00:08:36,662 --> 00:08:41,247
I'll probably say hi and grab a little styrofoam cup of coffee before we go.

127
00:08:41,469 --> 00:08:43,421
Yeah, yeah, there's a little waiting area.

128
00:08:43,421 --> 00:08:45,733
And you you've never been to this field office.

129
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:47,104
You both have credentials.

130
00:08:47,104 --> 00:08:48,046
You flash them.

131
00:08:48,046 --> 00:08:50,429
And Peggy says, well, hello, y'all.

132
00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:52,392
Go ahead, grab yourselves a cup of coffee.

133
00:08:52,392 --> 00:08:59,060
And you know, there are only Styrofoam cups and you're able to get some coffee and cream
and sugar if you choose.

134
00:08:59,060 --> 00:09:01,213
And she pulls up something on a

135
00:09:01,213 --> 00:09:12,791
to your modernized archaic monitor and kind of like cocks her eyebrows and looks at both
of you and then looks back to the screen and she says, you're in one of the special

136
00:09:12,791 --> 00:09:14,513
briefing rooms today, I suppose.

137
00:09:14,513 --> 00:09:19,357
And then she makes a quick phone call and you hear her talking under her breath.

138
00:09:19,854 --> 00:09:23,498
And then she stands up and she says, well, y'all ready?

139
00:09:23,498 --> 00:09:25,475
Will Butterball see us now?

140
00:09:26,265 --> 00:09:27,596
think you mean Butterfield.

141
00:09:27,596 --> 00:09:31,208
He doesn't take kindly to being called anything but Butterfield.

142
00:09:33,551 --> 00:09:34,842
I do find that funny though.

143
00:09:34,842 --> 00:09:36,042
She...

144
00:09:36,042 --> 00:09:37,623
you know, walks quickly.

145
00:09:37,623 --> 00:09:50,875
She has that, you know, pace of like a retail store worker shuffling you to the right
department just to leave you in an empty aisle and opens a door and you get into a...

146
00:09:51,159 --> 00:09:57,244
dimly lit small conference room, you see the portrait of Bill Clinton on the wall.

147
00:09:57,244 --> 00:10:10,586
And next to that is Janet Reno, the attorney general, and you see a few chairs and there
is a, on the middle of the conference table, there's just a CRT monitor with a tower

148
00:10:10,586 --> 00:10:13,213
computer there, but no handler.

149
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:15,215
You know how to work one of these things.

150
00:10:16,118 --> 00:10:17,550
I'm kind of scoping it out.

151
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:21,298
Never actually had my hands on one, but I definitely know about them.

152
00:10:21,298 --> 00:10:26,726
And I just stand up quietly and kind of walk around the table and look at the computer.

153
00:10:27,145 --> 00:10:32,024
Yeah, as you're doing that, can you both describe yourselves to each other?

154
00:10:32,024 --> 00:10:35,458
Yeah, I'm Ryan Dwyer, Agent Ryan.

155
00:10:35,458 --> 00:10:41,836
My physical description is I'm dorky, I'm balding, I have glasses, I'm 35.

156
00:10:42,176 --> 00:10:46,242
I'm pretty pale because I don't go outside very often.

157
00:10:46,242 --> 00:10:53,532
I wear my typical attire is cargo pants, tuck in my t-shirts, and white big-soled Nike
shoes.

158
00:10:53,532 --> 00:10:55,571
uh

159
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:58,571
I am motivated by always doing the right thing.

160
00:10:58,571 --> 00:11:04,791
I always follow the rules and I like to prove myself against all odds.

161
00:11:04,791 --> 00:11:10,951
So I like to be challenged to prove that I can do challenging things.

162
00:11:11,706 --> 00:11:14,025
What, you just tell that to everybody you meet?

163
00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:16,278
Yes, that's how I describe myself.

164
00:11:16,278 --> 00:11:17,872
It's very factual.

165
00:11:18,861 --> 00:11:23,045
Yeah, well, I mean, I'm glad you wear it on those short little sleeves of yours.

166
00:11:23,045 --> 00:11:25,667
Yeah, Agent Del Sandusky.

167
00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:27,409
Agent Sandusky is preferred.

168
00:11:27,409 --> 00:11:31,392
He's an older white man, probably in his late 50s, early 60s.

169
00:11:31,392 --> 00:11:35,735
He's about 5'11", about 130 pounds.

170
00:11:35,735 --> 00:11:38,517
His clothes look like they fit him about 50 pounds ago.

171
00:11:38,517 --> 00:11:41,099
And that's probably the last time they was washed too.

172
00:11:41,099 --> 00:11:43,030
They kinda got creases in them that...

173
00:11:43,078 --> 00:11:52,919
has dirt that kind of makes him look like more more statuesque than the than folded Cloth
he's got a thin and gray hair on a heavily wrinkled face.

174
00:11:52,919 --> 00:12:07,222
That's you know likely expressing some some sort of thinly veiled distrust through his
dirty spectacles and and he's definitely got like a You know the the qualities of a

175
00:12:07,222 --> 00:12:09,105
suspicious underground rodent

176
00:12:09,105 --> 00:12:15,827
about him, but there's something like soft and small town about his nature as well.

177
00:12:15,827 --> 00:12:16,987
Incredible.

178
00:12:17,247 --> 00:12:26,707
As you two have sized each other up and looked at each other, a familiar face to you,
Dell, comes in.

179
00:12:26,707 --> 00:12:28,407
Handler Butterfield.

180
00:12:30,891 --> 00:12:32,571
Yeah, Handler Butterfield walks in.

181
00:12:32,571 --> 00:12:36,171
He is in a black suit, gray shirt under it, black tie.

182
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:44,140
He looks a little disheveled, pretty typical for a handler working with Delta Green.

183
00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:49,342
But he walks in and immediately says, all right, settle in.

184
00:12:49,762 --> 00:12:53,062
We wouldn't be meeting in the sweat box if it wasn't important.

185
00:12:53,582 --> 00:12:55,433
And he points to some chairs.

186
00:12:55,433 --> 00:12:56,721
Yeah, I'll pull the pair out.

187
00:12:56,721 --> 00:12:58,403
Yeah, you have a seat.

188
00:12:58,403 --> 00:13:05,110
He kind of like cracks his back and he says, well, this came across ASail's desk about 48
hours ago.

189
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:14,184
He goes over to the computer, types in a DOS command to boot up Windows and waits for it
to load and then brings up Netscape Navigator.

190
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:16,206
And he mumbles under his breath.

191
00:13:16,206 --> 00:13:18,569
He's like, I thought they started this up already.

192
00:13:18,569 --> 00:13:20,051
And he brings up a website.

193
00:13:20,051 --> 00:13:31,222
He says, Truth Beyond the Veil, hosted on GeoCities, run by a man who we presume is named
is Arthur Finch.

194
00:13:32,544 --> 00:13:33,676
He clears his throat.

195
00:13:33,676 --> 00:13:39,029
Finch is a resident of Jerome, Arizona, this old mining town turned tourist trap up north.

196
00:13:39,029 --> 00:13:46,153
He fancies himself a investigative journalist, a UFO-ologist maybe, that's what his
website says about him.

197
00:13:46,153 --> 00:13:48,294
Mostly a harmless crank.

198
00:13:48,294 --> 00:13:53,280
But recently, his posts or web pages came across the program.

199
00:13:54,168 --> 00:13:56,394
And they're hitting on things that they shouldn't.

200
00:13:56,394 --> 00:14:09,488
He pulls up a web page and at the top of the web page you see the text operation cowboy
and then He points at that he says I know that both of you haven't been Doing much for the

201
00:14:09,488 --> 00:14:17,213
program in the past but operation cowboy was a very top-secret Delta green op and

202
00:14:17,213 --> 00:14:22,239
the fact that anybody knows this operation would be one hell of a coincidence.

203
00:14:22,239 --> 00:14:28,642
So it definitely started flagging some indicators on the radar for us.

204
00:14:28,642 --> 00:14:30,664
And he pulls up another page.

205
00:14:30,664 --> 00:14:32,545
He said, one hit is one thing.

206
00:14:32,545 --> 00:14:38,212
We can write that off as a coincidence, even if it is using Operation Cowboy, but two is
another thing.

207
00:14:38,212 --> 00:14:48,124
And this page talks about, you see it talks about Bill Clinton not being briefed on Area
51, but previous presidents, George H.W.

208
00:14:48,124 --> 00:14:52,350
Bush and Reagan specifically being briefed in depth on it.

209
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:53,672
And you both would know that.

210
00:14:53,672 --> 00:15:03,133
Delta Green had gone under the radar in the Clinton years most recently, but was, I mean,
it wasn't above the radar, but the presidents knew about it before Clinton.

211
00:15:03,133 --> 00:15:05,916
And so that is another curious coincidence.

212
00:15:05,916 --> 00:15:08,180
And he says, well, we don't know how he knows.

213
00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:09,613
And again, with this new,

214
00:15:09,613 --> 00:15:13,786
World Wide Web or Information Superhighway, whatever they've started calling it.

215
00:15:13,786 --> 00:15:15,087
Could it be a lucky guess?

216
00:15:15,087 --> 00:15:16,569
Is it signal to noise?

217
00:15:16,569 --> 00:15:21,974
I don't know, but I do know that the signal to noise ratio is suddenly a little too high
for my comfort.

218
00:15:21,974 --> 00:15:23,586
Any questions thus far, agents?

219
00:15:23,586 --> 00:15:29,321
I mean, would you consider him a significant presence in his discipline prior to this?

220
00:15:29,321 --> 00:15:30,873
Do people take him seriously?

221
00:15:30,873 --> 00:15:34,595
When people speak, when he speaks, who listens?

222
00:15:35,465 --> 00:15:39,859
He scrolls down on the GeoCities webpage to the visitor count.

223
00:15:39,859 --> 00:15:43,005
It says overall visitors, 23 million.

224
00:15:43,005 --> 00:15:47,562
And current site visitors is at 5,000.

225
00:15:47,706 --> 00:15:53,432
Meaningless to you probably, Dell, but Agent Ryan, you know that is a huge amount of web
traffic.

226
00:15:53,432 --> 00:15:54,207
He says.

227
00:15:54,207 --> 00:15:58,560
Well, we are concerned with his popularity among normal people.

228
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:04,566
And if he were to continue to leak these informations, we're afraid of any other party,
external government agency.

229
00:16:04,566 --> 00:16:05,866
The Russians are still in play.

230
00:16:05,866 --> 00:16:06,927
I might remind you that.

231
00:16:06,927 --> 00:16:13,933
m Being putting too many of the puzzle pieces together and finding out that Delta Green is
still operating.

232
00:16:13,933 --> 00:16:14,597
But.

233
00:16:14,597 --> 00:16:18,987
There is a third concerning thing is where is he getting this information?

234
00:16:18,987 --> 00:16:20,469
that is certainly concerning.

235
00:16:20,469 --> 00:16:28,388
Are there any active operations or agents anywhere in the area that he might be latching
onto?

236
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:31,941
Or do we think this is all over this invisible web?

237
00:16:31,941 --> 00:16:40,382
Agent Dell, I don't know if you've been briefed on Majestic, but we believe that the only
other organization that would have this information is Majestic.

238
00:16:40,382 --> 00:16:49,511
They were intimately involved with the Roswell incident and were involved with any
unidentified flying object incidents after that.

239
00:16:49,511 --> 00:16:54,015
So the only thing I could think of is either a leak from Delta Green, which

240
00:16:54,042 --> 00:17:00,518
I trust my agents, none of my cells would be leaking this information or Majestic would be
involved in some way.

241
00:17:00,518 --> 00:17:04,149
I don't know about you, Agent Ryan, but that don't ring a bell to me.

242
00:17:04,897 --> 00:17:06,648
Nope, never heard of Majestic.

243
00:17:06,648 --> 00:17:10,557
what are you asking of us to do with this information?

244
00:17:10,557 --> 00:17:12,889
I know you're new, Agent Ryan.

245
00:17:12,889 --> 00:17:14,511
So I'll tell you this once.

246
00:17:14,511 --> 00:17:21,634
Typically in these situations, the first objective is to get eyes on the prize, which
would be Arthur Finch.

247
00:17:22,034 --> 00:17:24,896
Two, determine the source and extent of his knowledge.

248
00:17:24,896 --> 00:17:26,077
Is he talking to somebody?

249
00:17:26,077 --> 00:17:27,159
Did he find something?

250
00:17:27,159 --> 00:17:28,660
How much does he actually understand?

251
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:29,982
Three, assess the risk.

252
00:17:29,982 --> 00:17:32,195
And then four is containment.

253
00:17:32,195 --> 00:17:33,996
So we need to make this stop.

254
00:17:33,996 --> 00:17:37,529
The information flow must stop now and here.

255
00:17:37,529 --> 00:17:42,453
If he's just some misguided fool who got lucky, scare him straight, dismantle his
platform.

256
00:17:42,453 --> 00:17:48,670
If he's compromised, if he's willing to leak or risk exposure, well, you need to sanitize
the situation immediately.

257
00:17:48,670 --> 00:17:54,308
Now, Agent Ryan, being that you're new, I will tell you specifically why we brought you
on.

258
00:17:54,308 --> 00:17:59,133
Your computer engineering skills would be an asset on this.

259
00:17:59,133 --> 00:18:07,299
We need you to take and acquire any of his hard drives, analyze them, and figure out where
he's getting this information and...

260
00:18:07,299 --> 00:18:14,040
We would love it if you were able to figure out a way to crack his GeoCities account and
remove the website from the web.

261
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:14,594
oh

262
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:17,521
you know what that means because that didn't mean diddly squat.

263
00:18:17,912 --> 00:18:20,000
yeah, it makes sense to me.

264
00:18:21,169 --> 00:18:21,731
On it.

265
00:18:21,731 --> 00:18:28,598
And I know that teams of two are considered bad luck in Delta Green, but I have nothing
but confidence in you.

266
00:18:28,598 --> 00:18:38,124
My A cell in the area was held up, so I know that coming here on such short notice might
have been a bother to you, and I very much appreciate you doing that.

267
00:18:38,124 --> 00:18:42,558
So you will be compensated well after this operation completes.

268
00:18:42,558 --> 00:18:45,927
was feeling pretty lucky until you said that.

269
00:18:45,927 --> 00:18:49,785
Well, Del, I again have nothing but faith in you.

270
00:18:49,785 --> 00:18:50,828
Any questions, agents?

271
00:18:50,828 --> 00:18:52,600
It's drone nice this time of year.

272
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,095
Yes, Agent Dell, I'm assuming you brought your gear with you.

273
00:18:57,288 --> 00:19:00,146
Yeah, yeah definitely.

274
00:19:00,146 --> 00:19:01,632
Don't leave home without it.

275
00:19:02,244 --> 00:19:02,586
Great.

276
00:19:02,586 --> 00:19:05,617
Ryan, you brought a laptop computer, I'm assuming.

277
00:19:05,843 --> 00:19:09,448
Never leave my house without my Toshiba satellite.

278
00:19:10,018 --> 00:19:10,820
Great.

279
00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:13,706
I am happy to hear that you are both prepared.

280
00:19:13,706 --> 00:19:21,873
I have arranged for a car for you in the basement of the field office and you can make
your way to Jerome presently.

281
00:19:21,873 --> 00:19:22,821
Thank you.

282
00:19:22,821 --> 00:19:24,387
Never been to Jerome.

283
00:19:25,187 --> 00:19:28,528
Del will do kind of like a snappy caricature salute.

284
00:19:28,528 --> 00:19:36,893
Like, it's definitely not what's called for and he probably did it wrong, but like, you
know, he assumes that Agent Butterfield knows that.

285
00:19:37,511 --> 00:19:39,547
Yeah, Agent Butterfield shakes his head.

286
00:19:39,547 --> 00:19:42,334
Both of you roll a human int for me.

287
00:19:42,334 --> 00:19:43,668
It's human intelligence.

288
00:19:43,668 --> 00:19:44,812
60.

289
00:19:44,867 --> 00:19:45,568
Yeah.

290
00:19:46,123 --> 00:19:46,713
Is that a failure?

291
00:19:46,713 --> 00:19:48,245
Okay.

292
00:19:48,245 --> 00:19:50,716
Butterfield kind of smirks at the joke.

293
00:19:50,716 --> 00:19:55,299
You don't glean anything else from his body language or how he reacts.

294
00:19:55,299 --> 00:19:59,996
And he holds the off button on the PC and it powers down.

295
00:19:59,996 --> 00:20:02,779
And he pulls out car keys and throws them to you.

296
00:20:02,779 --> 00:20:04,000
You'll need the keys to the car.

297
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,034
Obviously off the record, but don't get pulled over in it.

298
00:20:07,034 --> 00:20:08,054
What kind of car is it?

299
00:20:08,054 --> 00:20:08,878
it's a nice one.

300
00:20:08,878 --> 00:20:10,670
And he winks at you guys and walks out.

301
00:20:10,670 --> 00:20:12,103
You

302
00:20:12,103 --> 00:20:13,887
Yeah, what do you guys do while you're in the room?

303
00:20:13,887 --> 00:20:15,642
Anything you want to discuss about the case?

304
00:20:15,642 --> 00:20:17,109
Yeah, what should our plan be?

305
00:20:17,109 --> 00:20:20,141
Yeah, I mean, I probably need a map of the area.

306
00:20:20,141 --> 00:20:24,363
I don't feel inclined to go rolling straight into Jerome proper.

307
00:20:24,423 --> 00:20:27,306
It sounds like a one-road town by the name of it.

308
00:20:27,306 --> 00:20:30,798
And I'd rather not be seen if we don't want to be.

309
00:20:31,044 --> 00:20:35,150
look, there's a Thomas guide on the table right here that we can use.

310
00:20:35,744 --> 00:20:37,600
Yeah, go ahead and roll your luck.

311
00:20:38,098 --> 00:20:39,018
You

312
00:20:39,176 --> 00:20:40,588
Agent Ryan specific.

313
00:20:41,138 --> 00:20:42,257
21.

314
00:20:42,257 --> 00:20:43,939
All right, yeah.

315
00:20:43,939 --> 00:20:52,128
you, as Dell is saying that you do kind of look at some just copy paper, you know, the
like old fax machine paper with the...

316
00:20:52,128 --> 00:20:53,159
um

317
00:20:53,159 --> 00:20:55,111
the little, yeah, the ridges and the circles.

318
00:20:55,111 --> 00:21:01,094
Under that, there is a map of Jerome that Handler Butterfield forgot to tell you about.

319
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:04,336
And yeah, you see that it's a pretty straight shot from Phoenix.

320
00:21:04,336 --> 00:21:06,417
and you'll pass through Sedona on the way.

321
00:21:06,417 --> 00:21:11,059
And then it's up some switchbacks that almost look like a spiral up a mountain.

322
00:21:11,059 --> 00:21:14,232
And then at the top is the town of Jerome.

323
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:21,661
Okay, well I mean, does it have any sort of population count mentioned on there?

324
00:21:22,063 --> 00:21:23,125
How big does it look?

325
00:21:23,125 --> 00:21:31,164
Yeah, you're looking at probably in the area, the wider area of Jerome, probably around
7,000 people.

326
00:21:31,164 --> 00:21:32,336
So quite small.

327
00:21:32,336 --> 00:21:39,968
Hey, if there's nothing weird going on there, it's just some man who loves twiddling his
fingers on the internet, might be a nice place to settle down.

328
00:21:39,968 --> 00:21:40,771
Sounds quiet.

329
00:21:40,771 --> 00:21:47,523
Yeah, there's definitely some primo trailer parks there that attract a lot of transplants
to Arizona.

330
00:21:47,523 --> 00:21:50,822
I've never been to such a town, so this should be interesting.

331
00:21:50,822 --> 00:21:58,519
Yeah, I I figure we start walking on down towards the garage, but where do you call home,
Agent Ryan, if this ain't exactly your cup of tea?

332
00:21:59,034 --> 00:22:03,916
I live in Langley, Virginia, so a pretty big city.

333
00:22:03,916 --> 00:22:07,906
I used to live in DC, so yeah, only really big cities.

334
00:22:07,906 --> 00:22:17,797
Other than my visits to China, where I had to drive through some small towns and things
like that, but for the most part, I'm just used to living in the city, city life.

335
00:22:17,801 --> 00:22:21,089
Well, you lost me a little bit there, but we started on a good foot.

336
00:22:21,089 --> 00:22:25,500
I'm from Virginia too, though there weren't no town name where I come from.

337
00:22:25,674 --> 00:22:27,191
So this should be up your alley.

338
00:22:27,191 --> 00:22:28,712
Yeah, well, it might be.

339
00:22:28,712 --> 00:22:31,495
They're either real good or real bad from my experience.

340
00:22:31,495 --> 00:22:31,931
You

341
00:22:31,931 --> 00:22:39,812
you make your way down and in the garage you see a dust slash desert colored Volvo wagon

342
00:22:39,812 --> 00:22:51,422
The Volvo wagon is, it's seen better days, but you know that they usually have diesel
engines and can, you can put probably 500,000 miles on one of these things.

343
00:22:51,422 --> 00:22:53,403
It's bit of a workhorse.

344
00:22:53,564 --> 00:22:54,864
Airball's a funny one.

345
00:22:54,864 --> 00:22:56,686
At least he thinks he is.

346
00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:00,173
Who's driving?

347
00:23:00,173 --> 00:23:04,327
Yeah, I think I probably sussed you out when he tossed you the keys.

348
00:23:04,327 --> 00:23:08,157
I was looking to see how you felt about catching him.

349
00:23:08,530 --> 00:23:12,158
Yeah, I've not driven a car very much.

350
00:23:12,158 --> 00:23:15,304
I assume you have given that you live in small town.

351
00:23:15,304 --> 00:23:18,747
I think I'd feel more comfortable with somebody else driving.

352
00:23:18,747 --> 00:23:22,674
I prefer two wheels over four, but I think I'd prefer that as well.

353
00:23:23,527 --> 00:23:30,138
you get in the car, turn it on, radio's on, like, know, stuff that's on today and some top
40 stuff.

354
00:23:30,138 --> 00:23:35,907
You pull out of the FBI field office, any conversation for the hour plus drive.

355
00:23:35,907 --> 00:23:39,221
What would you try to glean or work out as you're getting on?

356
00:23:39,221 --> 00:23:48,259
Yeah, when I loaded my bag into the ample trunk space here, you heard several big old
heavy c-thunks.

357
00:23:48,259 --> 00:23:50,435
What could I gather from your gear?

358
00:23:50,435 --> 00:23:58,851
Yeah, so I wasn't sure what to bring, but I kind of tossed in everything I thought that my
skills might be useful for.

359
00:23:58,851 --> 00:24:00,954
So of course I have my laptop.

360
00:24:00,954 --> 00:24:03,195
I have my lockpick kit.

361
00:24:03,195 --> 00:24:06,159
So just in case we need to use that.

362
00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:07,260
I have a medical kit.

363
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:08,661
I'm pretty savvy.

364
00:24:08,661 --> 00:24:16,416
If anybody gets hurt, I have a bug detector so I can scan some technology to see if it
might be bugged.

365
00:24:16,664 --> 00:24:19,868
Walkie talkies that might be useful for us in the future.

366
00:24:19,868 --> 00:24:22,809
Binoculars when we have a break, I like to bird watch.

367
00:24:22,809 --> 00:24:27,075
m So I have a flashlight.

368
00:24:27,075 --> 00:24:27,719
I have some.

369
00:24:27,719 --> 00:24:29,847
your life story while you're at it, please.

370
00:24:29,847 --> 00:24:31,268
Yeah, yeah.

371
00:24:31,268 --> 00:24:34,611
Camping gear, just in case we do need to do some camping.

372
00:24:34,611 --> 00:24:36,654
And a forensics kit.

373
00:24:36,654 --> 00:24:39,576
and my Glock and my knife, of course, just in case.

374
00:24:39,610 --> 00:24:44,671
Okay yeah, those usually come at the beginning of my list, but I can see where your
priorities are.

375
00:24:44,671 --> 00:24:48,090
You got a toothbrush and a soft pill to go night night?

376
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:51,159
Of course, and some floss as well.

377
00:24:51,159 --> 00:24:52,741
Never leave home without it.

378
00:24:54,468 --> 00:25:02,252
Before you get into too much conversation, you're driving and it's pretty flat at this
point.

379
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:06,455
You haven't hit the red rocks in the Sedona area quite yet.

380
00:25:06,455 --> 00:25:19,344
You are going and then on the radio you hear, and Polical's Where Have All The Cowboys
Gone comes on and starts playing in about...

381
00:25:20,211 --> 00:25:24,830
minute into the song, can both of you make a willpower roll?

382
00:25:25,044 --> 00:25:27,144
No, fail with an 83.

383
00:25:27,824 --> 00:25:30,244
I ain't succeeded a roll yet.

384
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,801
I rolled 59, so under 80.

385
00:25:35,228 --> 00:25:39,492
Ryan, the song is playing, Paula Cole's vocals aren't.

386
00:25:39,492 --> 00:25:42,753
You're more into Hootie and the Blowfish.

387
00:25:42,853 --> 00:25:50,316
But you see Del tearing up, uh you know, as Paula Cole's saying, you go have a beer.

388
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:51,864
uh

389
00:25:51,864 --> 00:26:05,665
you see a tear start running down his face unable to keep his cool while listening to the
song but luckily it ends quickly and Del you know are you wiping your tears away or

390
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,166
I mean, that's a beautiful song.

391
00:26:07,166 --> 00:26:10,348
I got plenty of things to be ashamed about in my life and that ain't one.

392
00:26:10,379 --> 00:26:12,586
I thought that we needed to change the song.

393
00:26:12,586 --> 00:26:14,860
I thought that you didn't like it.

394
00:26:15,685 --> 00:26:18,799
no, that's what we call quiet reverence.

395
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:20,510
Have you heard of Hootie and the Blowfish?

396
00:26:20,510 --> 00:26:22,414
I don't want to hear a

397
00:26:23,295 --> 00:26:24,737
they're so amazing.

398
00:26:24,737 --> 00:26:26,210
They're so amazing.

399
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:31,267
It was like a life-changing experience when I saw them live the five times I've seen them.

400
00:26:31,602 --> 00:26:32,988
Jesus Christ.

401
00:26:32,988 --> 00:26:38,482
I mean, I thought the bare naked ladies was bad, but whatever you just said sounds three
times worse.

402
00:26:38,482 --> 00:26:40,687
Well, don't knock it till you try it.

403
00:26:40,809 --> 00:26:41,781
You

404
00:26:41,781 --> 00:26:42,321
Okay.

405
00:26:42,321 --> 00:26:52,405
All right, and this will be the period where if you want to work out anything on the case,
go ahead and chat about it now or uh like where are you going first type of stuff?

406
00:26:53,094 --> 00:26:56,853
We should probably come up with a story as to why we're in Jerome as well.

407
00:26:56,853 --> 00:27:07,745
Yeah, I mean, If someone was, you know, running a nefarious website you didn't like, what
are all the ways you might go about putting down that activity?

408
00:27:07,745 --> 00:27:12,532
Well, I need a login or I need to get on their device.

409
00:27:12,532 --> 00:27:13,826
So.

410
00:27:14,021 --> 00:27:22,900
Well, I mean, that does seem right on the micro level, but like, there has to be, like the
internet doesn't just, you know, come out of the air, right?

411
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:27,033
Don't you have to be like, connected wire-wise or something like that?

412
00:27:27,132 --> 00:27:29,175
Yes, an ethernet cable.

413
00:27:29,191 --> 00:27:36,112
Okay, well so like supposing we just wanted to stop any future leaking from happening,
right?

414
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:39,247
We got kind of like a manual off switch somewhere.

415
00:27:39,554 --> 00:27:40,859
for the whole internet.

416
00:27:40,859 --> 00:27:42,280
Well, okay.

417
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,392
I'm dumb, but I ain't that dumb.

418
00:27:44,392 --> 00:27:54,578
This man, he needs to plug his fingers in somewhere, do a little tapping, and that info
has to flow through the wires, but supposing there weren't no wire there...

419
00:27:54,583 --> 00:27:57,104
Yes, the website would still be up.

420
00:27:57,104 --> 00:28:00,067
So we do have to take that content down.

421
00:28:00,067 --> 00:28:10,539
And in order to do that, we have to log in either on his device or with some sort of log
in with his credentials so that we can get it shut down.

422
00:28:10,798 --> 00:28:15,918
Okay, yeah, I mean that definitely sounds like an important piece of the pie.

423
00:28:15,918 --> 00:28:20,804
Well, if you're not a small town person, what's your excuse for being here?

424
00:28:20,805 --> 00:28:29,876
I was kind of working the cable company route, if maybe we had to be from the phone
corporation or whatnot, but...

425
00:28:30,747 --> 00:28:32,039
I mean, that sounds good to me.

426
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:36,781
I can be somebody who just moved to the area and started this job.

427
00:28:36,781 --> 00:28:38,772
Okay, yeah absolutely.

428
00:28:39,712 --> 00:28:41,213
I look like the type, don't I?

429
00:28:41,213 --> 00:28:46,254
I think I got wire strippers in my back pocket just for occasion like this.

430
00:28:46,274 --> 00:28:55,508
Yeah, so maybe we're trying to put in some new installations for an up-and-coming
development in the area.

431
00:28:55,508 --> 00:28:59,179
Just gotta do some service while we're out there.

432
00:28:59,948 --> 00:29:00,836
Mm-hmm.

433
00:29:01,051 --> 00:29:04,914
Okay, I feel like that affords us the right to go knocking door to door.

434
00:29:04,914 --> 00:29:11,048
Other than waltzing right up to this man's front door, who might be of interest, do you
think?

435
00:29:11,048 --> 00:29:14,100
Like what other stops do we have in a little nothing town like this?

436
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:20,428
Sometimes you can interface with local law enforcement, get information from them if you
wanna use your real badges.

437
00:29:22,032 --> 00:29:27,702
I was going to say being that this guy's local, I his content's pretty popular in this
town.

438
00:29:28,324 --> 00:29:34,324
So we could go sit in a coffee shop and mention it and see what others have to say.

439
00:29:34,670 --> 00:29:37,131
Yeah, like maybe pick up a little reading material.

440
00:29:37,131 --> 00:29:39,853
Just see whose eyes we catch.

441
00:29:40,653 --> 00:29:41,654
Okay.

442
00:29:41,654 --> 00:29:45,376
So maybe we're into this as well.

443
00:29:45,376 --> 00:29:49,098
Perhaps we're glad we got a sign to Jerome.

444
00:29:49,098 --> 00:29:52,159
Get a little brush with Celebrity maybe.

445
00:29:53,059 --> 00:29:54,099
Okay.

446
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,300
I'm liking that.

447
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,711
Maybe, you I heard there's a bunch of kooks in Sedona.

448
00:29:57,711 --> 00:30:03,583
Maybe we could stop there, pick up some coveralls, and maybe they got a little, you know,
reading material of their own.

449
00:30:04,490 --> 00:30:05,317
do it.

450
00:30:06,294 --> 00:30:08,009
Yeah, you grab the National Enquirer.

451
00:30:08,009 --> 00:30:11,589
Nothing local at the Kmart.

452
00:30:11,589 --> 00:30:14,357
You could stop in the town if you wanted to look for something like that.

453
00:30:14,357 --> 00:30:22,506
I mean, I feel like we're waving the freak flag with this, if you think there's any more
intel to be gathered, I got no agenda.

454
00:30:22,506 --> 00:30:23,324
Sounds good to me.

455
00:30:23,324 --> 00:30:24,656
All right, you're back on the road.

456
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:32,167
You get up there, you're starting to see the red rocks and those red rocks slowly start to
turn into the same color as your car.

457
00:30:32,167 --> 00:30:35,670
It turns into a very dusty, deep.

458
00:30:35,670 --> 00:30:41,828
yellow and brown, scrub brush starts to appear less green and more tan.

459
00:30:41,828 --> 00:30:48,056
And you see a sign that shoots you off the main highway to Jerome, Arizona.

460
00:30:48,056 --> 00:30:54,603
And when you look that way, you just see a long straight road and then just a giant
mountainside.

461
00:30:54,603 --> 00:30:56,331
And up at the top of it,

462
00:30:56,331 --> 00:30:59,841
a few streets of houses just in the distance.

463
00:30:59,841 --> 00:31:00,382
Alright, yeah.

464
00:31:00,382 --> 00:31:04,028
I think I'm probably looking to just like kind of peruse the perimeter.

465
00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:07,377
Get an idea of what the neighborhoods are like around here.

466
00:31:07,377 --> 00:31:09,297
I don't want to go down any streets twice.

467
00:31:09,297 --> 00:31:12,124
But just trying to get a layout of things.

468
00:31:12,124 --> 00:31:13,185
Yeah, I'm fine with that.

469
00:31:13,185 --> 00:31:17,200
And I need a little bit of extra time in the car to apply some sunscreen anyways.

470
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,766
So looks pretty sunny here.

471
00:31:19,766 --> 00:31:20,586
don't...

472
00:31:20,586 --> 00:31:22,117
Yeah, I wouldn't want that to burn.

473
00:31:22,117 --> 00:31:25,653
I just like lay it on thick, with a white nose and everything.

474
00:31:26,131 --> 00:31:31,263
Yeah, it's on thick, there's sunscreen on your collar.

475
00:31:31,263 --> 00:31:36,219
um And yeah, you start to drive up this switch back.

476
00:31:36,219 --> 00:31:39,211
It's a little dizzying as you get going up it.

477
00:31:39,211 --> 00:31:49,174
feels like, I don't know, it's turning your stomach a little bit as you like have to take
these sharp turns and then are climbing an elevation quickly.

478
00:31:49,174 --> 00:31:51,697
And maybe the window is down a little bit.

479
00:31:51,697 --> 00:31:55,561
It does get cooler as you also start driving up.

480
00:31:55,561 --> 00:32:04,549
The first signs of civilization on this mountainside are a trailer park and then some
houses.

481
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:07,792
And as you get closer to the top, the houses get nicer.

482
00:32:07,792 --> 00:32:12,325
And then you see the beginnings of what looks to be like what

483
00:32:12,325 --> 00:32:15,427
Handler Butterfield was saying, almost like a tourist trap town.

484
00:32:15,427 --> 00:32:27,164
You see a sign for ghost tours and you see a candy shop and then you go around the corner
and then there's just a line of different restaurants past those restaurants, way up in

485
00:32:27,164 --> 00:32:29,585
the mountaintop is a giant hotel.

486
00:32:29,585 --> 00:32:33,493
But between that hotel and the trailer park,

487
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:37,967
there are just kind of knickknack shops and different things.

488
00:32:37,967 --> 00:32:43,545
Do you think you guys have Finch's address based on the information given at the briefing?

489
00:32:43,545 --> 00:32:44,560
I didn't guess so.

490
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,623
Do you think we could stop by a phone booth?

491
00:32:46,623 --> 00:32:52,590
Maybe there's a phone book somewhere where his name would be.

492
00:32:52,591 --> 00:32:53,964
Yeah, that sounds perfect.

493
00:32:53,964 --> 00:33:03,013
also, while we're there, want to take a look for who's operating, what telecom company is
operating out this way so we can get our story straight.

494
00:33:03,485 --> 00:33:05,137
Yeah, yeah.

495
00:33:05,137 --> 00:33:07,410
You stop at the phone booth.

496
00:33:07,410 --> 00:33:12,788
It's just a Bell phone booth, but you see it's underwritten by Arizona Tell.

497
00:33:12,788 --> 00:33:17,500
And you start looking through the phone book and you see an Arthur Finch.

498
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:17,982
Mm-hmm.

499
00:33:17,982 --> 00:33:21,869
And then across it is a address with an apartment number on it.

500
00:33:21,869 --> 00:33:25,314
There is only one road through here.

501
00:33:25,796 --> 00:33:27,850
It would be pretty easy to find.

502
00:33:27,850 --> 00:33:31,821
I just rip the page of that phone book out and take it with me.

503
00:33:32,699 --> 00:33:34,253
Yeah.

504
00:33:34,253 --> 00:33:38,573
And you fold it up, put it in your pocket this phone booth is honest.

505
00:33:38,573 --> 00:33:44,088
busy street, cars are coming by and there is people walking up and down the shops.

506
00:33:44,088 --> 00:33:53,563
Most things close around five, it's about three there now so people are kind of getting
their last minute shopping in before dinner or going back to this giant hotel but you

507
00:33:53,563 --> 00:33:56,115
notice the view out is magnificent.

508
00:33:56,115 --> 00:34:00,377
Like you're looking down into that um

509
00:34:00,377 --> 00:34:06,564
beautiful serene landscape that you drove through earlier, but from this vantage point,
it's incredible.

510
00:34:06,564 --> 00:34:21,264
And you see the remnants of an old ore processing plant, some factories way down further,
and there is a sheen of hot dust throughout that entire valley that just kind of hovers

511
00:34:21,264 --> 00:34:21,727
there.

512
00:34:21,727 --> 00:34:29,081
I think I almost took some psychic damage from just like imagining that I was the person
that we were hunting for a minute.

513
00:34:29,081 --> 00:34:36,653
Like could you imagine if you walked into a phone booth and you opened up that phone book
and your address was tore out?

514
00:34:36,653 --> 00:34:39,035
Like, fuck with my head a little bit.

515
00:34:39,395 --> 00:34:46,617
Once I recover from that, I think I'm gonna go back into the car and we'll grab my like
just a little humble toolbox.

516
00:34:46,773 --> 00:34:53,185
and take a little ball peen hammer out, find that like embossed logo of the AZ Tail
Company.

517
00:34:53,185 --> 00:35:00,547
I'm gonna just gingerly hammer it in so that it kind of like presses into my tool kit so I
look like I'm the real deal.

518
00:35:00,911 --> 00:35:03,331
Yeah, yeah, comes off without a hitch.

519
00:35:03,331 --> 00:35:04,927
Able to do it, no problem.

520
00:35:04,927 --> 00:35:07,730
Ace.

521
00:35:07,730 --> 00:35:09,371
You're a bird watcher.

522
00:35:09,592 --> 00:35:11,613
This man's got a bird name.

523
00:35:11,613 --> 00:35:13,034
How funny is that?

524
00:35:13,799 --> 00:35:16,103
Meant to be maybe that's why I was chosen

525
00:35:16,205 --> 00:35:20,048
Yeah, well hope that ain't your only qualification, but I don't think it is.

526
00:35:20,048 --> 00:35:22,668
I'm good at finding finches, so.

527
00:35:22,847 --> 00:35:27,160
Yeah, probably not too many out here, but there are more people than I expected.

528
00:35:27,981 --> 00:35:29,682
Do you think maybe something's going on?

529
00:35:29,682 --> 00:35:32,124
Like, why here, why now?

530
00:35:32,124 --> 00:35:33,536
What is it with Jerome?

531
00:35:33,536 --> 00:35:40,283
Yeah, I mean, know just from my little research of the town that it's a town that draws,
you know, strange people.

532
00:35:40,283 --> 00:35:47,066
So I can understand how somebody like him would be successful in a town like this.

533
00:35:47,791 --> 00:35:49,413
Yeah, I suppose so.

534
00:35:49,413 --> 00:35:57,819
Well, I'd like to maybe go and check in with some of the people just hanging at the hotel,
but maybe best to use daylight while we got it.

535
00:35:57,819 --> 00:36:03,926
across the street there is a diner called the Palace Restaurant and it seems pretty busy.

536
00:36:03,926 --> 00:36:07,089
People are in and out even for this happy hour time frame.

537
00:36:07,089 --> 00:36:09,791
If you wanted to stop in there, you definitely could.

538
00:36:09,791 --> 00:36:16,627
But yeah, you wouldn't have to go back down the mountain a little bit to get to the
apartment that you've found that Arthur Finch lives in.

539
00:36:16,627 --> 00:36:19,571
I mean, I assume he's there most any time.

540
00:36:19,571 --> 00:36:26,120
You don't look like you leave your house often based on your unfamiliarity with the sun.

541
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,496
Yeah, so I imagine we could probably find him there most any time.

542
00:36:31,496 --> 00:36:33,366
Yeah, you feeling hungry?

543
00:36:33,881 --> 00:36:35,088
Yeah, let's go eat.

544
00:36:35,088 --> 00:36:36,530
Yeah, you open.

545
00:36:37,488 --> 00:36:38,626
All right.

546
00:36:38,626 --> 00:36:40,790
I think that's a pretty safe bet.

547
00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:46,039
Um, hey, I know your name, but what do call you out here?

548
00:36:46,397 --> 00:36:47,959
Agent Ryan is fine.

549
00:36:47,959 --> 00:36:48,982
Or you can just call me...

550
00:36:48,982 --> 00:36:50,057
Ryan.

551
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:56,605
a little bold to go by your real name out, you got no issues being ID'd.

552
00:36:56,605 --> 00:36:58,894
You can call me Dwight.

553
00:36:59,056 --> 00:37:01,146
That's why I'm surprised your mama didn't.

554
00:37:01,698 --> 00:37:04,154
No, that was my dad's name, so.

555
00:37:04,949 --> 00:37:07,238
I I feel like I could have been a Jameson.

556
00:37:07,238 --> 00:37:08,521
We'll go with that.

557
00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:09,846
you

558
00:37:10,024 --> 00:37:12,225
Dwight and Jameson.

559
00:37:13,285 --> 00:37:15,885
You walk over to the palace.

560
00:37:16,245 --> 00:37:18,745
There's a small wait.

561
00:37:18,905 --> 00:37:30,396
You check in with the person at the door and they tell you that for two you could sit at
the bar or you could wait 20 minutes for a table.

562
00:37:30,396 --> 00:37:34,956
Spar look pretty busy, people around, bar ideas.

563
00:37:34,956 --> 00:37:36,141
Bart is.

564
00:37:36,331 --> 00:37:38,604
Yeah, you are led over to the bar.

565
00:37:38,604 --> 00:37:40,535
There is two bartenders.

566
00:37:40,535 --> 00:37:43,008
It's one of those circle around horseshoe type bars.

567
00:37:43,008 --> 00:37:53,601
You sit down on one side of it and above the bar are pole tab gambling things that the
bartenders just pulling down and giving to people when they pay them a nickel.

568
00:37:53,601 --> 00:37:57,225
he comes over to you says, you guys want a menu?

569
00:37:57,617 --> 00:37:59,342
Hope it got beans on it.

570
00:38:00,302 --> 00:38:01,571
Do you have beans?

571
00:38:01,753 --> 00:38:05,719
Yeah, we got beans, we got refried beans, we got some black beans too.

572
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,736
But we don't have a whole meal of beans, so, but you can get a side.

573
00:38:09,736 --> 00:38:10,628
that's great.

574
00:38:10,628 --> 00:38:13,193
I just wanted some beans, so that sounds great.

575
00:38:13,752 --> 00:38:14,743
Okay.

576
00:38:15,388 --> 00:38:16,534
I don't know what I want yet.

577
00:38:16,534 --> 00:38:18,563
I'd love a menu, thank you.

578
00:38:18,564 --> 00:38:20,344
Yeah, hands over a menu.

579
00:38:20,444 --> 00:38:26,245
Looks like it's mostly Southwestern food, a little bit of mix of Mexican and diner food.

580
00:38:26,245 --> 00:38:28,766
Looks pretty good as you see the plates passing you by.

581
00:38:28,766 --> 00:38:35,687
You see a giant wet burrito that's about as big as an infant across your path.

582
00:38:35,687 --> 00:38:37,758
what are you doing while you're looking at the menu?

583
00:38:37,758 --> 00:38:43,941
Just kind of scoping the room out a little bit, looking at the locals in the bar area.

584
00:38:43,941 --> 00:38:45,560
Yeah, you see a

585
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,242
wide variety of characters.

586
00:38:47,242 --> 00:38:53,326
A lot of working class people at the bar and then the tourists look like they are taking
up the tables.

587
00:38:53,326 --> 00:38:56,928
So you see some people that are definitely city slickers.

588
00:38:56,928 --> 00:39:00,149
But at the bar area, yeah, it sounds like they're from their locals.

589
00:39:00,149 --> 00:39:07,654
You hear the bartender stopping by and having lots of side conversations with them and
laughing as they say things as he passes.

590
00:39:07,654 --> 00:39:10,157
And he stops by with some waters.

591
00:39:10,157 --> 00:39:11,832
and says what will it be?

592
00:39:11,832 --> 00:39:13,415
All these look the same, honestly.

593
00:39:13,415 --> 00:39:17,433
Just give me something where you're gonna tell me it's a hot plate when it comes out.

594
00:39:18,407 --> 00:39:19,991
Alright, feed as it is.

595
00:39:19,991 --> 00:39:21,387
Sizzling hot.

596
00:39:21,387 --> 00:39:21,866
Yeah.

597
00:39:21,866 --> 00:39:24,786
I don't usually like a spectacle, but that sounds nice.

598
00:39:24,786 --> 00:39:26,026
You

599
00:39:26,987 --> 00:39:35,083
When we're seeing this separation between locals and tourists, can we pick up any on the
looks that the locals give?

600
00:39:35,083 --> 00:39:39,201
Is there any animosity, disdain, any such and such?

601
00:39:39,201 --> 00:39:40,892
Yeah, go ahead and roll a human int.

602
00:39:40,892 --> 00:39:52,634
It's a 50, which is a fail, but could I maybe have a minus 41 on account of I know what
small town looks look like when people aren't wanted?

603
00:39:52,634 --> 00:40:00,311
Yeah, you can't, but if you want, you can go ahead and, do you have good search?

604
00:40:00,732 --> 00:40:02,519
no, no, no.

605
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:02,901
all right.

606
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:06,567
Yeah, you're not picking on any picking up on any animosity.

607
00:40:06,567 --> 00:40:10,138
Agent Ryan slash Dwight, what are you looking for?

608
00:40:10,138 --> 00:40:11,695
Or are you looking at all?

609
00:40:11,695 --> 00:40:18,302
Yeah, I I rolled this the same thing and unfortunately was over as well, but I hit it on
search.

610
00:40:18,981 --> 00:40:20,625
Okay, yeah, yeah.

611
00:40:20,625 --> 00:40:29,880
As you're looking around, there's no animosity that you can tell just from this
restaurant, but you do see that there's definitely a separation, right?

612
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,823
Like it is a cast.

613
00:40:31,823 --> 00:40:35,499
The tourists who are here seem like they are well...

614
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:41,729
off how they're dressed but the what seemingly locals at the bar area not so much so

615
00:40:41,729 --> 00:40:50,194
Okay, well I'm gonna probably mosey on over to the restroom and kind of just like take a
leisurely path through a bunch of the tables, see if I can't see what any of them are

616
00:40:50,194 --> 00:40:54,302
reading or hear any topics of conversation repeated.

617
00:40:54,302 --> 00:40:57,165
The sizzling fajitas come out while you're in the bathroom.

618
00:40:57,165 --> 00:40:58,886
They sizzle by you, Agent Ryan.

619
00:40:58,886 --> 00:41:05,132
Ryan, you have a plate of refried beans and a bowl of black beans in front of you as well.

620
00:41:05,273 --> 00:41:08,777
Okay, and a glass of milk.

621
00:41:08,777 --> 00:41:10,539
And that's disgusting, but.

622
00:41:10,539 --> 00:41:12,873
um

623
00:41:12,873 --> 00:41:14,428
the one who went to the bathroom.

624
00:41:14,428 --> 00:41:15,751
Yeah.

625
00:41:15,751 --> 00:41:21,035
So the bartender drops off all the stuff, asks you if you need anything else.

626
00:41:21,035 --> 00:41:25,183
just a couple handfuls of those and I'll point up to the pull tabs.

627
00:41:25,513 --> 00:41:34,287
Yeah, yeah, he pulls out some you give him what four or five nickels Yeah, yeah pulls him
out Go ahead and roll luck roll twice

628
00:41:34,287 --> 00:41:37,333
Nah, I'm a high roller today, but not in the right kind of way.

629
00:41:37,333 --> 00:41:40,017
you lose on the poll tabs.

630
00:41:40,017 --> 00:41:45,204
So there's no cash prize coming your way or free meal.

631
00:41:45,204 --> 00:41:50,270
Yeah, the bartender, Mosey's over by and who might you to be?

632
00:41:50,665 --> 00:41:52,927
Well, we're with AZ Telco company.

633
00:41:52,927 --> 00:41:56,081
We're just dropping in some new lines.

634
00:41:56,081 --> 00:42:03,189
But while we're out here, I always like to check and see if people have been having any
disruptions or if your service is pretty regular.

635
00:42:03,189 --> 00:42:04,613
our phone service?

636
00:42:04,613 --> 00:42:09,184
Yeah, anything that the AZ Telco service is.

637
00:42:10,191 --> 00:42:21,051
I mean, yeah, it's been fine for us and every once in a while our credit card machine gets
a little finicky But we just kind of give it a little knock and then Kind of sorts itself

638
00:42:21,051 --> 00:42:30,091
out But you know Compu cafe I heard them complaining about Their yeah, they got on this
new thing.

639
00:42:30,091 --> 00:42:33,942
I don't know if it's through a Z tail but

640
00:42:33,942 --> 00:42:38,026
It be, but it's on something called DSL.

641
00:42:38,026 --> 00:42:40,078
But yeah, newer business.

642
00:42:40,078 --> 00:42:46,354
But I'm friends with the owner, Darryl, and he was complaining about it being slow for his
customers.

643
00:42:46,557 --> 00:42:54,319
Well, sometimes it's hard to argue with the tried and true, but everybody likes testing
out these newfangled technologies.

644
00:42:54,420 --> 00:43:02,671
We'll go pay Darrell a visit, see if he can't, you know, knock on his DSL, you said, so to
speak.

645
00:43:02,713 --> 00:43:04,793
Yeah, that's it, DSL.

646
00:43:04,793 --> 00:43:07,013
So I think it's a type of phone line.

647
00:43:07,013 --> 00:43:07,853
Um...

648
00:43:08,416 --> 00:43:14,191
Yeah, hey, I noticed your traffic around here seems pretty heavy given the size of this
place.

649
00:43:14,191 --> 00:43:15,676
Is this the busy season or something?

650
00:43:15,676 --> 00:43:20,011
Well yeah, the fall is busy because of all the ghost tours in town.

651
00:43:20,011 --> 00:43:25,958
get all the quacky city slickers coming out and going on ghost tours and feeding the
business.

652
00:43:25,958 --> 00:43:26,745
It's nice.

653
00:43:26,745 --> 00:43:32,000
The hotel up there puts on a haunted house all through the fall, even in uh November.

654
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,462
People come out for that too.

655
00:43:33,462 --> 00:43:36,055
But yeah, mean, it's definitely a busy season.

656
00:43:36,055 --> 00:43:37,527
You don't want to come here during summer.

657
00:43:37,527 --> 00:43:38,579
It's hot as hell.

658
00:43:38,579 --> 00:43:40,170
be sure to be out of town by then.

659
00:43:40,170 --> 00:43:44,244
Yeah, I thank you.

660
00:43:44,244 --> 00:43:48,087
Darryl is your friend's name, but I didn't catch yours.

661
00:43:48,587 --> 00:43:49,483
Hello, I'm James.

662
00:43:49,483 --> 00:43:49,936
James.

663
00:43:49,936 --> 00:43:50,882
Jamie's son.

664
00:43:50,882 --> 00:43:51,968
Should be easy to remember.

665
00:43:51,968 --> 00:43:58,932
look at that um your friend here he's not very talkative is he kind of smiles at you
Dwight

666
00:43:58,932 --> 00:44:02,558
slurping at the last of my milk from the cup.

667
00:44:02,558 --> 00:44:03,981
And I'm like, hi.

668
00:44:03,981 --> 00:44:05,012
Hi, I'm Dwight.

669
00:44:05,012 --> 00:44:07,366
Yeah, I'm new to this job.

670
00:44:07,366 --> 00:44:10,550
So I'm just learning from Jameson here.

671
00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:12,356
He's teaching me everything I need to know.

672
00:44:12,356 --> 00:44:12,929
okay.

673
00:44:12,929 --> 00:44:14,534
Did you enjoy your beans?

674
00:44:14,534 --> 00:44:15,066
I did.

675
00:44:15,066 --> 00:44:16,439
Yeah, thank you.

676
00:44:16,439 --> 00:44:17,102
Thank you.

677
00:44:17,102 --> 00:44:19,599
Really hit the the bean spot for me.

678
00:44:19,792 --> 00:44:21,516
Okay, bean spot.

679
00:44:22,711 --> 00:44:27,744
just kind of like, you know, like give a little mouth, mouth silent word to James there.

680
00:44:27,744 --> 00:44:29,838
I don't think he's going to make it.

681
00:44:29,898 --> 00:44:33,195
And I don't I don't notice I'm just in my own little world.

682
00:44:33,195 --> 00:44:39,878
I imagine like the first time you tried to like open your mouth to talk, it was just like
clomped up with with beans on both sides.

683
00:44:39,878 --> 00:44:40,521
yeah.

684
00:44:40,521 --> 00:44:53,030
incredible um James says well you know if you need anything else or you know come on by
you can always chat me up but here's your ticket and he pulls out the check handwritten

685
00:44:53,030 --> 00:44:56,753
sets it down it's about six dollars for both meals

686
00:44:58,212 --> 00:44:59,399
Yeah, I appreciate that.

687
00:44:59,399 --> 00:45:02,317
I'm sure I'll be back to lose a couple more nickels your way.

688
00:45:02,317 --> 00:45:04,566
Say, no luck with the tabs, huh?

689
00:45:04,789 --> 00:45:07,048
No, won't stop me from playing.

690
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,442
And then I'm like, I never gamble and this is why.

691
00:45:10,442 --> 00:45:12,203
Well, you can't win if you don't play.

692
00:45:12,203 --> 00:45:17,154
Yeah, but I could lose a lot of money playing and that's just not a gamble I'm willing to
take.

693
00:45:17,154 --> 00:45:23,070
Alright yeah, mean, any of these There certainly are a lot of characters around, any of
them catch your attention?

694
00:45:23,274 --> 00:45:25,349
We should definitely go talk to Daryl.

695
00:45:26,144 --> 00:45:26,937
Sure.

696
00:45:26,983 --> 00:45:28,812
at this CompU Cafe.

697
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,775
Yeah, there are a too many fanny packs in here for my liking.

698
00:45:32,775 --> 00:45:35,818
You strike me as a fanny pack wearer, Zach.

699
00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:38,521
Yeah, I thought you might.

700
00:45:38,842 --> 00:45:41,724
Where do you think I keep my lockpick?

701
00:45:42,686 --> 00:45:43,727
My binoculars.

702
00:45:43,727 --> 00:45:47,279
perhaps the most surprising thing I heard about you so far.

703
00:45:47,279 --> 00:45:49,704
Where'd you where'd you pick that up from?

704
00:45:49,830 --> 00:46:02,630
Oh, my grandpa taught me when I was really young and I just really got into it and I just
got all different kinds of locks and I just took them apart, put them back together.

705
00:46:02,810 --> 00:46:05,777
I mean, there's no lock that I can't get through.

706
00:46:05,777 --> 00:46:08,104
It's starting to make more sense now.

707
00:46:08,104 --> 00:46:09,398
Yeah, that is...

708
00:46:09,398 --> 00:46:13,297
It's rewarding to work with your hands sometimes, isn't it?

709
00:46:13,326 --> 00:46:14,332
It is, yeah.

710
00:46:14,332 --> 00:46:15,315
I enjoy it.

711
00:46:15,315 --> 00:46:15,977
That's cool.

712
00:46:15,977 --> 00:46:18,534
I probably enjoy watching you work.

713
00:46:18,534 --> 00:46:19,894
Thank you.

714
00:46:20,514 --> 00:46:24,350
Nobody's ever said anything nice to me like that before, so I appreciate it.

715
00:46:25,075 --> 00:46:30,739
Well, I'm sorry if I've been hard on you before this, but I'll try and sling a few more
your way.

716
00:46:31,153 --> 00:46:31,835
Thank you.

717
00:46:31,835 --> 00:46:34,999
And I'm like all uncomfortable, like looking away.

718
00:46:36,957 --> 00:46:38,508
Belly's full, ready.

719
00:46:38,508 --> 00:46:44,105
All right, yeah, Compu Cafe is just down the street.

720
00:46:44,105 --> 00:46:49,292
It is next to what looks to be like, it's closed right now, but a old mining museum.

721
00:46:49,292 --> 00:46:49,915
the...

722
00:46:49,915 --> 00:47:02,883
front of it is more modern there's posters of recent games you see games like Diablo 1,
Warcraft 2, Command and Conquer posters of that nature you go in and it's there's a little

723
00:47:02,883 --> 00:47:12,966
thing as you go in but the no one's using the computers right now no no gamers but you do
see a man behind the desk

724
00:47:12,966 --> 00:47:14,547
seem like your people.

725
00:47:14,547 --> 00:47:20,987
Yeah, Agent Ryan, you've been into a computer cafe before.

726
00:47:20,987 --> 00:47:22,827
Very cool.

727
00:47:22,927 --> 00:47:28,552
This setup is a little podunk, but...

728
00:47:28,552 --> 00:47:31,219
exactly what I think when I walk in this place.

729
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:39,288
Yeah, the man behind the counter says, well, it's about three cents a minute unless you
want to buy a day pass.

730
00:47:39,288 --> 00:47:42,390
I can get you set up on any of the computers.

731
00:47:43,041 --> 00:47:46,984
well, we're actually not here to use your computers.

732
00:47:46,984 --> 00:47:53,979
We work for Arizona Tell and we were just looking to upgrade some lines in the area.

733
00:47:53,979 --> 00:47:56,181
I wanted to know if you were having any issues.

734
00:47:56,181 --> 00:47:57,602
Easy tell huh?

735
00:47:57,602 --> 00:48:08,505
Well You know I've been on the phone with you guys a lot ever since I got on this DSL It
has been dropping out been having a lot of disconnects So I appreciate them sending

736
00:48:08,505 --> 00:48:09,498
somebody out

737
00:48:09,498 --> 00:48:12,080
Well, yeah, we can.

738
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:21,878
mean, unfortunately, don't, Maine Dispatch doesn't really talk to these Roman service
teams, and so we're kind of on a different wavelength, but that's why we ask around.

739
00:48:21,878 --> 00:48:27,574
They didn't tell us that we're not here for you, and I'm sorry about that, but we could
take a look while we're in the neighborhood.

740
00:48:27,574 --> 00:48:29,054
Well, my box is back here.

741
00:48:29,054 --> 00:48:30,278
If you want to come look at it.

742
00:48:30,278 --> 00:48:31,041
show.

743
00:48:31,237 --> 00:48:34,580
Yeah, he walks back.

744
00:48:34,580 --> 00:48:36,202
He's kind of a gruff old man.

745
00:48:36,202 --> 00:48:42,447
You know, there used to be a saying in the 90s for the type of guy this is, it's a high
tech redneck.

746
00:48:42,447 --> 00:48:47,771
Like he very computer savvy, but also looks like he knows his way around a shotgun.

747
00:48:47,771 --> 00:48:49,072
He goes in the back.

748
00:48:49,072 --> 00:48:51,626
There's a small office and some storage.

749
00:48:51,626 --> 00:48:55,169
and a small fridge with balls energy drink in it.

750
00:48:55,169 --> 00:48:57,963
And he says, well, here it is.

751
00:48:57,963 --> 00:49:01,976
he unscrews a thing and pulls open a plastic box.

752
00:49:01,976 --> 00:49:05,048
And inside, you see the cables all wiring up.

753
00:49:05,048 --> 00:49:12,624
And then his what looks to be router slash ethernet switch that is running to all the
separate PCs.

754
00:49:13,517 --> 00:49:14,942
Well, you take the problems here.

755
00:49:14,942 --> 00:49:25,898
I'm gonna feign like I know what I'm looking at and I'm gonna wait for Dwight to kind of,
you know, it's gonna be like a I'm shadowing you doing the things that you trained

756
00:49:25,898 --> 00:49:27,179
recently to do.

757
00:49:27,179 --> 00:49:28,994
like, you know, impress me.

758
00:49:28,994 --> 00:49:41,414
I pull out some fancy looking thing from my fanny pack that I brought with me and start to
hook it up to the lines.

759
00:49:42,294 --> 00:49:47,894
I'm also not actually doing this job, so I'm just pretending at this.

760
00:49:47,894 --> 00:49:51,314
But he doesn't know what this thing is that I have, hopefully.

761
00:49:51,915 --> 00:49:53,589
So yeah.

762
00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:59,135
called SIGINT, that's signal intelligence, like how well you can work with that.

763
00:49:59,135 --> 00:50:06,312
And then, so you can roll that or you could roll, you'll, okay.

764
00:50:06,312 --> 00:50:07,872
85.

765
00:50:08,401 --> 00:50:10,114
Alright, yeah.

766
00:50:10,114 --> 00:50:11,727
If you're trying to deceive him...

767
00:50:11,727 --> 00:50:23,795
Well, I was definitely giving him kind of like a get a load of this when, you know, like a
small town camaraderie at the big city fella to try and maybe like distract a little bit

768
00:50:23,795 --> 00:50:26,286
of the attention from the details.

769
00:50:26,372 --> 00:50:33,023
Yeah, you give me a persuade with 40 % on top of it.

770
00:50:33,023 --> 00:50:34,535
25, that's a success.

771
00:50:34,535 --> 00:50:36,155
All right, that probably would have been it.

772
00:50:36,155 --> 00:50:37,875
Where your per se is probably 20, right?

773
00:50:37,875 --> 00:50:40,715
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

774
00:50:40,995 --> 00:50:44,016
So yeah, you're able to pull his attention.

775
00:50:44,016 --> 00:50:45,336
You don't know what you're doing.

776
00:50:45,336 --> 00:50:47,416
You don't know what the hell this is.

777
00:50:47,756 --> 00:50:53,476
This is, know, networking is not electrician work.

778
00:50:53,476 --> 00:50:58,236
So you could run the wire, but you don't know what's going on inside the wire.

779
00:50:58,238 --> 00:51:03,270
but you're able to mess with enough and then come up with a plausible explanation.

780
00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:08,459
Be like, I think it's something further back in the line or something that headquarters
needs to do.

781
00:51:08,459 --> 00:51:13,616
And you're able to convince him as agent Dell is distracting him.

782
00:51:13,616 --> 00:51:17,896
Does seem like there's anything else of interest in this backroom area here?

783
00:51:18,314 --> 00:51:27,118
Yeah, there is stacks of hard drives hooked to different wires that look like they're
rated together into like a large PC.

784
00:51:27,118 --> 00:51:29,859
It looks like there's internet servers as well.

785
00:51:29,859 --> 00:51:38,224
I want to ask him, just tell him, you know, I'm really into computers too and I'm really
impressed by the setup you have here.

786
00:51:38,224 --> 00:51:41,460
Tell me how you decided to open a business like this.

787
00:51:41,460 --> 00:51:49,317
Yeah, well, I I don't I went back to community college and got a networking degree and
figured the internet was the future.

788
00:51:49,317 --> 00:51:55,751
Al Gore, he, you know, goes on the TV talking about the World Wide Web and it's getting
more common out there.

789
00:51:55,751 --> 00:51:59,114
And, you know, before I knew it, people were asking, how do we get on the web?

790
00:51:59,114 --> 00:52:04,835
And so I figured, yeah, open up a little place where people can access the Internet if
they don't have their own computer.

791
00:52:04,835 --> 00:52:07,779
Yeah, just a business idea I had.

792
00:52:08,131 --> 00:52:09,371
That's really cool.

793
00:52:09,371 --> 00:52:11,462
What kind of business do you get here?

794
00:52:11,462 --> 00:52:18,268
He kind of motions, well, you don't strike me as blind, but it's empty right now.

795
00:52:18,268 --> 00:52:23,990
So not a lot, but come off season, the locals have more time and not catering to the
tourists.

796
00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:25,642
They drop in from time to time.

797
00:52:25,642 --> 00:52:30,634
I think my problem is just cutting them deals because they're, you I know everybody.

798
00:52:30,634 --> 00:52:31,405
So.

799
00:52:31,508 --> 00:52:35,129
cut them too many deals, I don't make as much money.

800
00:52:35,129 --> 00:52:38,879
So I gotta knock that off, but it's good enough.

801
00:52:39,013 --> 00:52:42,002
Yeah, do you have mostly locals just kind of coming in?

802
00:52:42,002 --> 00:52:43,407
Mostly locals,

803
00:52:43,563 --> 00:52:51,586
It seems like you got kind of the fantasy type thing going, but maybe you need more sci-fi
in your catalog.

804
00:52:51,586 --> 00:52:56,817
It seems like maybe just a different clientele in town, different interests, you know what
I mean?

805
00:52:56,817 --> 00:53:03,563
Well, yeah, mean, there's plenty of wackos, know, so a lot of sci-fi types, a of horror
types.

806
00:53:03,563 --> 00:53:08,318
You know, we got the Bigfoot folk saying that Bigfoot's out in Sedona.

807
00:53:08,318 --> 00:53:11,732
We got the haunted mansion folk for the hotels.

808
00:53:11,732 --> 00:53:15,554
And then, you know, we got the crazy alien folk.

809
00:53:15,554 --> 00:53:17,995
I mean, we got all flavors, so.

810
00:53:18,582 --> 00:53:20,637
Shoot, I bet you got all kinds of stories.

811
00:53:20,637 --> 00:53:28,082
I'm afraid we ain't got time for all of them, but could you humor me with like, I don't
know, most outlandish tourists you had come through here.

812
00:53:28,510 --> 00:53:37,800
Outlandish tourists well, I mean every once in a while we get people that are Either
journalists or sometimes feds coming through About two months ago.

813
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:49,231
We had some federal agents coming around They didn't really ask about anything they just
were nosing around kind of was the talk of the town a little bit, but Yeah

814
00:53:49,231 --> 00:53:52,854
That does sound like how you feed the furnace, right?

815
00:53:52,854 --> 00:53:55,815
Like why would they come poking around if there weren't nothing to see?

816
00:53:55,815 --> 00:53:56,558
That is true.

817
00:53:56,558 --> 00:54:02,452
That's why they became the talk of the town, but they just kind of disappeared.

818
00:54:03,413 --> 00:54:05,316
Yeah, just slip into the night kinda tight.

819
00:54:05,316 --> 00:54:14,720
Hey, is there anybody who kinda like, I don't know, props up circles like that, keeps the
rumor mill going, so to speak?

820
00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:18,855
Well, of course, yeah, I mean, it's good for business.

821
00:54:18,855 --> 00:54:28,366
all of our haunted house owners and haunted tours, they tend to try to sensationalize any
story that comes across as a ghost.

822
00:54:28,366 --> 00:54:33,452
We got the UFO people also always stirring up stuff around town.

823
00:54:33,452 --> 00:54:41,737
Yeah, to be honest, it's not really my bag, but it does feel like this is more UFO country
than like haunted mansion country.

824
00:54:41,737 --> 00:54:45,742
Who has a real mansion out in Jerome is all I'm asking.

825
00:54:46,506 --> 00:54:52,354
Oh, well, we don't have any mansions around here, but he takes you quite literally at it.

826
00:54:52,354 --> 00:54:58,770
he says, but you know, we got the people, you know, made websites about UFOs and ghost
stories.

827
00:54:58,770 --> 00:55:03,617
So it's a, you know, it's a, yeah, words definitely getting out.

828
00:55:03,617 --> 00:55:04,109
So.

829
00:55:04,109 --> 00:55:12,942
Well alright Darrell, we'll go and see if we can't fix this upstream at the service
station, check a couple transforms, see what needs to be done.

830
00:55:12,942 --> 00:55:17,307
And if not, we'll put in a work order, get somebody else out here as quick as we can.

831
00:55:17,307 --> 00:55:21,653
Like I said, headquarters sometimes just takes forever on things like this.

832
00:55:22,421 --> 00:55:32,061
Alright, well I really appreciate you coming out and looking and sorry that your home
dispatch or whatever you called it doesn't communicate too much with you.

833
00:55:32,061 --> 00:55:37,192
It would have been nice if you just came out and knew how to fix it but you're a nice
enough guy.

834
00:55:37,192 --> 00:55:39,845
Alright, get to getting.

835
00:55:39,845 --> 00:55:42,060
Yeah, he shakes your hand, Del.

836
00:55:42,060 --> 00:55:44,393
Agent Ryan, he goes out to shake your hand.

837
00:55:44,393 --> 00:55:45,544
You shake his hand?

838
00:55:45,910 --> 00:55:47,951
Yeah, but like very lightly.

839
00:55:47,951 --> 00:55:50,485
Yeah, it's like a limp handshake.

840
00:55:50,485 --> 00:55:50,907
yeah.

841
00:55:50,907 --> 00:55:52,349
You come out.

842
00:55:52,349 --> 00:55:56,236
Looks like most of the shops are starting to close up as it's about five o'clock.

843
00:55:56,236 --> 00:55:58,830
Where do you think you're headed next, agents?

844
00:55:58,830 --> 00:56:04,982
I mean, I say we go towards Ryan's, or Ryan's, Arthur's house.

845
00:56:04,982 --> 00:56:07,622
Yeah, you want to get a look at the property?

846
00:56:07,695 --> 00:56:09,758
Yeah, might as well scope it out.

847
00:56:09,758 --> 00:56:15,999
I am curious where, like, the bulk of foot traffic is headed now that most of the shops
are closing.

848
00:56:16,813 --> 00:56:20,765
Yeah, as you look around, a lot of them are going into restaurants.

849
00:56:20,765 --> 00:56:24,369
So the place behind you at the palace is quite busy.

850
00:56:24,369 --> 00:56:27,311
You see people walking up the hill to the large hotel.

851
00:56:27,311 --> 00:56:31,935
there's another saloon that's on the other side of the Internet Cafe and Mining Museum.

852
00:56:31,935 --> 00:56:39,527
And further down, there's a large Mexican restaurant that you hear La Banda music like
blaring out of.

853
00:56:39,527 --> 00:56:41,629
And there's a lot of people headed that way.

854
00:56:41,629 --> 00:56:46,854
They have a patio, looks like they have margaritas the size of three men's head.

855
00:56:46,854 --> 00:56:47,716
Well, who would have known?

856
00:56:47,716 --> 00:56:50,233
It's a party out here in the desert.

857
00:56:50,233 --> 00:56:51,911
Alright, yeah, let's get to getting.

858
00:56:51,911 --> 00:56:56,405
The address is our descending, just like the spiral down off the mountain.

859
00:56:56,405 --> 00:57:02,451
And you walk down just one more switch back and there is a small candy store that closed
at four.

860
00:57:02,451 --> 00:57:04,772
And above it are apartments.

861
00:57:04,772 --> 00:57:06,974
And this is where the address is.

862
00:57:06,974 --> 00:57:11,277
There are some steep stairs that go up to the second floor.

863
00:57:11,277 --> 00:57:15,141
And on that second floor looks to be where the units are.

864
00:57:15,141 --> 00:57:15,539
you

865
00:57:15,539 --> 00:57:22,459
Alright, yeah, I mean, I feel we look official enough to just go wandering around, but do
you want to check in anywhere?

866
00:57:23,022 --> 00:57:27,933
think we should just wander and kind of get our bearings a little bit.

867
00:57:27,933 --> 00:57:28,658
Yeah, fair.

868
00:57:28,658 --> 00:57:30,043
I'll follow your lead.

869
00:57:30,812 --> 00:57:33,382
So I just walk to like the back of the building.

870
00:57:33,607 --> 00:57:36,559
So walking around it a little bit, checking it out.

871
00:57:36,559 --> 00:57:37,845
of checking it out.

872
00:57:37,845 --> 00:57:40,954
Even looking up, like at the apartment and things.

873
00:57:41,262 --> 00:57:43,160
Yeah, both of you roll a search.

874
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:43,975
there.

875
00:57:44,841 --> 00:57:45,471
fail.

876
00:57:45,471 --> 00:57:53,390
Yeah, nothing from down here is apparent You are looking around and it just kind of looks
like the side of a building.

877
00:57:53,390 --> 00:58:02,827
You know, the thing you can glean from it is that at one point this was probably some sort
of saloon at the bottom that has been turned into different smaller businesses.

878
00:58:02,827 --> 00:58:07,403
And the people used to live who run the shops used to live above it, but now it's
apartments above.

879
00:58:07,403 --> 00:58:11,465
what economic status of people does it feel like live here?

880
00:58:11,465 --> 00:58:25,484
You look around, this is the nicer part, the more touristy part, but the apartments, looks
like the paint on this whole building is pretty worn out.

881
00:58:25,764 --> 00:58:32,300
They look pretty small too, so your guess is that there's not like a, they're not well to
do, the people who live here.

882
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:42,937
Say, if you got eyes on Fincher's unit, do you see any identifying marks, anything that
would broadcast who's home it is?

883
00:58:42,937 --> 00:58:46,279
Does feel like he keeps maybe a low profile?

884
00:58:46,279 --> 00:58:47,678
Definitely low profile.

885
00:58:47,678 --> 00:58:50,675
Are the shops open or are they closed now?

886
00:58:50,945 --> 00:58:51,890
They've closed down.

887
00:58:51,890 --> 00:58:53,053
Should we knock?

888
00:58:55,540 --> 00:58:58,246
What's our...

889
00:58:58,246 --> 00:58:59,560
Yeah, our alibi.

890
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:11,449
upgrading lines and Don't want to cause a disruption to Any activity that might be
happening on the internet lines?

891
00:59:11,449 --> 00:59:14,233
So just want to check in with the residents first

892
00:59:14,233 --> 00:59:23,861
So like maybe there's some sort of update that's going to be coming out soon and we want
to make sure to ensure continuity that there's not going to be a disruption.

893
00:59:24,603 --> 00:59:25,132
Love that.

894
00:59:25,132 --> 00:59:25,652
Mm-hmm.

895
00:59:25,652 --> 00:59:30,403
Or try to understand what use of the internet lines are happening and when.

896
00:59:30,403 --> 00:59:31,191
You alright?

897
00:59:31,191 --> 00:59:33,954
So you take these stairs up to the second level.

898
00:59:33,954 --> 00:59:37,518
There's just like a small hallway and it's three units up there.

899
00:59:37,518 --> 00:59:40,522
You find unit B, which is Arthur's.

900
00:59:40,522 --> 00:59:46,850
It is on the end and there is a just a small little eye hole on the door.

901
00:59:46,850 --> 00:59:50,365
No other markings other than the unit number.

902
00:59:50,365 --> 00:59:51,996
Okay, I'm gonna knock on the door.

903
00:59:51,996 --> 00:59:54,708
You wait and wait and wait and no one comes.

904
00:59:54,708 --> 00:59:58,933
There seem to be any other egresses, windows, anything like that.

905
00:59:59,669 --> 01:00:01,144
Nothing from this hallway.

906
01:00:01,144 --> 01:00:03,542
You saw balconies from the outside.

907
01:00:03,542 --> 01:00:05,885
Okay, you want me to wait over here?

908
01:00:05,885 --> 01:00:13,055
You think you could maybe find a vantage point and use those peepers ears to check up on
inside the other side?

909
01:00:13,055 --> 01:00:14,943
Sure, yeah, I will.

910
01:00:14,943 --> 01:00:18,315
Are the balconies on like the other side of the apartment?

911
01:00:18,315 --> 01:00:21,515
So I have to go back down and around.

912
01:00:21,935 --> 01:00:22,874
Okay.

913
01:00:23,381 --> 01:00:26,506
you look and you spend some time with your binoculars.

914
01:00:26,506 --> 01:00:28,880
It looks pretty dark in there.

915
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,605
There's no lights on, no movement, nothing.

916
01:00:31,605 --> 01:00:32,053
Okay.

917
01:00:32,053 --> 01:00:36,201
Have we seen any other traffic or eyes through this hallway?

918
01:00:36,624 --> 01:00:37,140
Nothing.

919
01:00:37,140 --> 01:00:38,487
It's pretty dead.

920
01:00:38,682 --> 01:00:47,485
I'd love to see you work and I'll just kind of like stand up and make a little body shield
if you want to try and get on through this door.

921
01:00:47,776 --> 01:00:51,135
Yeah, I just want to try the door first to see if it's even locked.

922
01:00:51,875 --> 01:00:53,262
It is locked, yes.

923
01:00:53,262 --> 01:01:00,088
All right, well, open up the fanny pack, pull out the old lock pit kit.

924
01:01:00,453 --> 01:01:01,293
Let's go.

925
01:01:01,293 --> 01:01:05,393
So you have a 40 in locksmithing.

926
01:01:07,133 --> 01:01:14,282
Your specific tools give you a number, another 20%, under 60.

927
01:01:14,282 --> 01:01:16,418
I got two zeros and a six.

928
01:01:17,092 --> 01:01:17,932
That's just six.

929
01:01:17,932 --> 01:01:19,154
six, hell yeah.

930
01:01:19,154 --> 01:01:25,145
Yeah, Del, you see Agent Ryan get down and...

931
01:01:25,379 --> 01:01:35,095
You don't know where this is coming from, but you haven't seen this man have a confident
bone in his body since you've picked him up at the agency field office.

932
01:01:35,095 --> 01:01:39,058
And as soon as those lock picks come out, you're seeing a master at work.

933
01:01:39,058 --> 01:01:41,780
This guy is so honed in and focused.

934
01:01:41,780 --> 01:01:44,502
He uses that pick kit like a key.

935
01:01:44,502 --> 01:01:47,303
It's not even, he's not fudging with it at all.

936
01:01:47,303 --> 01:01:50,184
Just clicks open, the door goes.

937
01:01:50,684 --> 01:01:56,167
slightly in as you have picked the lock.

938
01:01:56,697 --> 01:01:57,965
Blink and you'll miss it.

939
01:01:57,965 --> 01:01:59,354
I love locks.

940
01:02:00,053 --> 01:02:02,808
But you got one of them special brains, don't you?

941
01:02:03,415 --> 01:02:07,315
That's what my mama said.

942
01:02:09,685 --> 01:02:11,376
Lox, lox and beans.

943
01:02:11,376 --> 01:02:17,972
Now, yeah, we will shuffle on in quickly and gingerly close the door behind.

944
01:02:17,972 --> 01:02:21,721
very quietly because we have a neighbor close by.

945
01:02:21,721 --> 01:02:22,900
Very quiet.

946
01:02:23,201 --> 01:02:30,134
you're able to get in and what you see is a very disheveled, almost destroyed room.

947
01:02:30,134 --> 01:02:35,699
There are books, newspaper printouts that look like they were once in folders are strung
about.

948
01:02:35,699 --> 01:02:37,502
There's maps pinned to the wall.

949
01:02:37,502 --> 01:02:45,913
There's some blinds, but they're pulled all the way up and loosely like, you know, like
they're cockeyed or whatever that Appalachian word is.

950
01:02:46,455 --> 01:02:49,618
They're cygoggle right there in front of you.

951
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,542
The air is stale.

952
01:02:51,542 --> 01:02:56,504
You see a PC and a monitor on a desk, a bed.

953
01:02:56,504 --> 01:03:01,408
that the mattress is leaning up against the wall like somebody was looking under it.

954
01:03:01,408 --> 01:03:13,496
most concerning is the window to out of the side of the building has a perfect oval cut
into the glass and you feel the wind coming in.

955
01:03:13,496 --> 01:03:16,067
Hmm, this is strange.

956
01:03:16,067 --> 01:03:17,591
I wonder what happened here.

957
01:03:18,477 --> 01:03:21,012
yeah, how big is that opening?

958
01:03:21,012 --> 01:03:23,226
You might be able to fit through it, Dell.

959
01:03:23,226 --> 01:03:24,589
Agent Ryan could not,

960
01:03:24,589 --> 01:03:26,304
Not meant for a human.

961
01:03:26,808 --> 01:03:28,070
It's strange.

962
01:03:28,070 --> 01:03:29,424
It's out of place.

963
01:03:29,424 --> 01:03:30,421
They're say it is.

964
01:03:30,421 --> 01:03:39,757
I open up my fanny pack again and put some gloves on and immediately go over to the
computer and start powering it on.

965
01:03:39,757 --> 01:03:46,295
It powers on and the BIOS flash, which means it's trying to boot on, but the hard drive
has been removed.

966
01:03:46,295 --> 01:03:48,857
So there's no operating system to boot.

967
01:03:48,857 --> 01:03:53,991
Okay, is there a floppy disk that is in the disk drive?

968
01:03:54,201 --> 01:03:58,197
Both of you go ahead and roll search or forensics.

969
01:03:58,197 --> 01:04:00,371
Yeah, a four on forensics.

970
01:04:00,371 --> 01:04:00,969
Let's go.

971
01:04:00,969 --> 01:04:03,443
Same, I got forensics as well.

972
01:04:03,639 --> 01:04:10,987
this is agent Ryan, you don't find any disks or floppy disks or any other things that
would have data on it.

973
01:04:10,987 --> 01:04:16,147
But what you do find is a ticket for the internet cafe that you were in.

974
01:04:16,147 --> 01:04:20,395
that has a hardware restoration date on it.

975
01:04:20,395 --> 01:04:28,326
This hard drive was supposed to be picked up two days ago and presumably this ticket was
supposed to be presented when it was to be picked up.

976
01:04:29,052 --> 01:04:33,682
So it was getting some work done on it at CompuCafe.

977
01:04:33,882 --> 01:04:35,606
Yes, that's what it looks like.

978
01:04:35,606 --> 01:04:42,716
You also, as you're looking around, there is a big map of all of the mines in the area.

979
01:04:42,716 --> 01:04:48,482
It looks like a historical map, and in fact it says Jerome Historical Society in the
corner, but...

980
01:04:48,693 --> 01:04:56,229
there is a large section in the middle bottom that looks like it's been cut out with
scissors and pulled off.

981
01:04:56,229 --> 01:05:02,266
You see the town of Jerome and then you see this section that's cut out is about three
miles away.

982
01:05:02,266 --> 01:05:10,879
Did it look like it had part of this like mine network extending into it or was it, is it
possible to tell what was there?

983
01:05:11,721 --> 01:05:13,702
Yeah, there's no underground tunnels.

984
01:05:13,702 --> 01:05:16,886
They're just entrances on the map to different mines.

985
01:05:16,886 --> 01:05:18,488
Most of them look like copper.

986
01:05:18,488 --> 01:05:21,492
And the area that's cut out, you can't see that.

987
01:05:21,492 --> 01:05:23,396
But the other ones are circled.

988
01:05:23,396 --> 01:05:30,374
And there are handwritten notes, presumably Arthur's handwritten notes on each of them,
saying, nothing found.

989
01:05:30,374 --> 01:05:41,706
suspicious activity on one and then it's crossed out and then below it says unconfirmed
nothing found it looks like he was searching through different areas and looking for mines

990
01:05:41,706 --> 01:05:47,138
Is there a way that we can capture a picture of this?

991
01:05:47,138 --> 01:05:51,958
Yeah, you guys can both roll lock to see if you brought a disposable camera with you.

992
01:05:51,958 --> 01:05:53,340
What is the luck?

993
01:05:53,340 --> 01:05:56,225
uh OK.

994
01:05:56,687 --> 01:05:58,560
Uh-uh, of course.

995
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,139
All right, let's see.

996
01:06:01,139 --> 01:06:03,011
I got 44.

997
01:06:03,032 --> 01:06:03,723
Hell yeah.

998
01:06:03,723 --> 01:06:09,340
Yeah, you in this fanny pack of holding, you have a disposable camera.

999
01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:11,905
as a super fanny pack item to have.

1000
01:06:11,905 --> 01:06:12,651
I love it.

1001
01:06:12,651 --> 01:06:15,709
Okay, so I, yeah, take a picture of it.

1002
01:06:16,002 --> 01:06:18,702
All right, you snap a picture, you'll have to get it developed later.

1003
01:06:19,282 --> 01:06:21,142
There's just four pins in the map too.

1004
01:06:21,142 --> 01:06:23,093
If you wanted to take it, you could.

1005
01:06:23,093 --> 01:06:31,893
But there is things all around with your search in forensic rules.

1006
01:06:31,893 --> 01:06:35,313
You find a lot of newspaper clippings.

1007
01:06:35,313 --> 01:06:40,204
You find old screen printings from the library of the Roswell incident.

1008
01:06:40,204 --> 01:06:46,355
You also see that there've been some UFO sightings in Jerome too.

1009
01:06:46,355 --> 01:06:52,215
1980, yeah, yeah, there's some Jerome ones.

1010
01:06:52,215 --> 01:07:05,016
There is an incident in 1958, which was about 10 years after Roswell, and one in 1988
recently,

1011
01:07:05,016 --> 01:07:14,005
and he has all of these clipped and they are in a stack in yearly descending order with
the most recent on top.

1012
01:07:14,005 --> 01:07:16,819
And the most recent one is from 1988.

1013
01:07:16,819 --> 01:07:23,659
Does the spacing of the events seem to have any sort of particular cadence to it?

1014
01:07:23,799 --> 01:07:26,670
Like that last one was 10 years ago.

1015
01:07:26,670 --> 01:07:34,863
Yeah, and the one before that was 58, so Roswell was 47, but at least around here it looks
like they're on the eights.

1016
01:07:35,115 --> 01:07:44,772
But from this map, does it look like the mine entrances are accessible via road or are
they like a day hike out?

1017
01:07:44,772 --> 01:07:47,683
do you have a navigation score?

1018
01:07:47,683 --> 01:07:49,308
Yeah, give me a navigation rule.

1019
01:07:49,308 --> 01:07:51,593
Yeah, 16, that's a success.

1020
01:07:51,593 --> 01:08:01,910
You look at the map and just are able to see that the roads kind of end and there might be
access roads that are unmarked, but this map has other access roads that are marked, but

1021
01:08:01,910 --> 01:08:07,702
it looks like there are no roads going into the area that is ripped off that you can tell.

1022
01:08:07,702 --> 01:08:10,043
So it would probably be a hike out.

1023
01:08:10,455 --> 01:08:15,384
you see the in the distance, the giant old ore processing plant.

1024
01:08:15,384 --> 01:08:19,190
your guess is that it is about 10 miles beyond that.

1025
01:08:19,190 --> 01:08:24,329
You could probably drive out to where that ore processing plant is, park around there, and
then you'd have to hike.

1026
01:08:24,329 --> 01:08:30,356
Is there any pictures of Arthur in here so that we know what he looks like?

1027
01:08:30,726 --> 01:08:41,812
he's a little younger in the picture and it looks like he, you know, is by himself in
front of the Roswell New Mexico tour shop.

1028
01:08:42,164 --> 01:08:43,592
really interesting.

1029
01:08:45,662 --> 01:08:56,118
Within this forensics investigation, is there any indication of who or how many people
were rifling through this area?

1030
01:08:56,118 --> 01:09:01,775
Does seem like it was Finch looking for something or somebody after Finch?

1031
01:09:01,775 --> 01:09:12,827
I guess like what I was looking for mostly is like tells of kind of like how widespread or
focused the disheveled upturned nature of this is.

1032
01:09:12,827 --> 01:09:18,053
Like was somebody looking through specific places or were they just throwing shit
everywhere from everywhere?

1033
01:09:18,150 --> 01:09:20,836
Or was it just like Arthur doing it?

1034
01:09:20,875 --> 01:09:22,482
Right, right, yeah.

1035
01:09:23,315 --> 01:09:31,273
Yeah, it looks like somebody was looking around, mostly around the computer where all the
files are spread and thrown about.

1036
01:09:31,273 --> 01:09:33,945
And then, you know, there's some, the mattress was moved.

1037
01:09:33,945 --> 01:09:35,697
They're probably like searching for other things.

1038
01:09:35,697 --> 01:09:38,238
It does not look like Finch did this.

1039
01:09:38,238 --> 01:09:47,504
So, but as a part of your earlier search, you find a draft internet article that was not
on the website that is handwritten.

1040
01:09:47,504 --> 01:09:56,684
that is about a specific mine in the area.

1041
01:09:56,924 --> 01:10:04,335
They called the Sundowner Mine, which was abandoned in 1959.

1042
01:10:04,335 --> 01:10:05,666
And at the time,

1043
01:10:05,666 --> 01:10:07,684
you know, disappeared off the radar.

1044
01:10:07,684 --> 01:10:10,264
But he's writing that he's witnessed.

1045
01:10:10,264 --> 01:10:19,775
what he thinks are potentially federal agents or another agency in that area.

1046
01:10:19,775 --> 01:10:21,529
You also see a strange word.

1047
01:10:21,529 --> 01:10:24,195
The strange word is, just says Mee-go.

1048
01:10:24,195 --> 01:10:26,992
And then below it, it says insect?

1049
01:10:26,992 --> 01:10:27,513
alien?

1050
01:10:27,513 --> 01:10:32,649
And that's it.

1051
01:10:32,649 --> 01:10:39,392
Well, I mean, there's one potential source of intel, but it doesn't sound like he's in
cahoots with them.

1052
01:10:39,392 --> 01:10:41,105
Agents-wise, I mean.

1053
01:10:41,105 --> 01:10:42,670
Sounds like he's just creeping on them.

1054
01:10:42,670 --> 01:10:52,928
I want to walk over to this window with the oval cut out and kind of start to inspect that
because that's super weird and I'm curious about it.

1055
01:10:53,668 --> 01:10:56,333
This would be a good thing for your forensic kit.

1056
01:10:56,393 --> 01:11:00,813
Okay, I open up my fanny pack as I do.

1057
01:11:01,401 --> 01:11:02,238
Yeah.

1058
01:11:02,904 --> 01:11:05,091
You really like zipping that thing.

1059
01:11:05,779 --> 01:11:12,993
I have a giant key chain that dangles off of it to make it easier to open and close.

1060
01:11:12,993 --> 01:11:26,628
Yeah, Dell all you hear over and over again is like you pull out your forensics kit.

1061
01:11:26,628 --> 01:11:31,645
You're going to get plus 10 on your forensic rolls with that out.

1062
01:11:31,645 --> 01:11:33,357
Go ahead and give it a shot.

1063
01:11:33,357 --> 01:11:34,787
See what you can come up with.

1064
01:11:35,029 --> 01:11:36,049
Oh, plus 10.

1065
01:11:36,049 --> 01:11:36,480
Wow.

1066
01:11:36,480 --> 01:11:42,460
Yes, 62, which the plus 10 means I got it.

1067
01:11:42,792 --> 01:11:48,679
You look at this oval facing out on town and it is just so symmetrical.

1068
01:11:48,679 --> 01:11:49,881
It's right in the middle.

1069
01:11:49,881 --> 01:11:52,102
You pick up fingerprints.

1070
01:11:53,018 --> 01:11:56,319
And as you're looking at them, they all probably like Finch's fingerprints.

1071
01:11:56,319 --> 01:12:02,449
They're all the same, but you don't see any fingerprints, like nothing grabbed on and
stepped through this oval.

1072
01:12:02,449 --> 01:12:03,512
It's just there.

1073
01:12:03,512 --> 01:12:10,673
The forensics kit mostly confirms that if somebody did climb in through here, they must've
been floating.

1074
01:12:10,673 --> 01:12:11,150
Okay.

1075
01:12:11,150 --> 01:12:11,811
Interesting.

1076
01:12:11,811 --> 01:12:25,698
Does it, when looking at the edge of the oval in the glass, does it look like it was cut
by like a glass cutting tool or is it kind of serrated or is it smooth?

1077
01:12:25,759 --> 01:12:27,483
extremely smooth.

1078
01:12:28,398 --> 01:12:30,955
Ooh, well, ain't an easy shape to cut.

1079
01:12:30,955 --> 01:12:32,289
Circle is one thing.

1080
01:12:32,289 --> 01:12:32,924
Hmm.

1081
01:12:32,924 --> 01:12:34,301
very strange.

1082
01:12:34,944 --> 01:12:45,141
Hey, if you were a paranoid dweeb, I know you're just the dweeb part and I'm the paranoid
part, that's why I'm trying to put these brains together.

1083
01:12:45,141 --> 01:12:53,636
If you as a paranoid dweeb, and the most important things to you was on that little hard
drive of yours, would you only have one of them?

1084
01:12:53,636 --> 01:12:58,399
And if you only have one of them, would you give it to someone else to hang on to for a
while?

1085
01:12:59,198 --> 01:13:01,537
only if I trusted them really well.

1086
01:13:02,505 --> 01:13:03,344
That's a good point.

1087
01:13:03,344 --> 01:13:07,704
Did we see the hours on that internet cafe when we was leaving?

1088
01:13:07,704 --> 01:13:08,457
Yes you did.

1089
01:13:08,457 --> 01:13:10,706
Looks like he's trying to attract the gamers.

1090
01:13:10,706 --> 01:13:12,704
So it is open till midnight.

1091
01:13:12,704 --> 01:13:16,804
Did we happen to see anything that looked like a security system in there?

1092
01:13:17,764 --> 01:13:18,610
Absolutely not.

1093
01:13:18,610 --> 01:13:19,032
Yeah.

1094
01:13:19,032 --> 01:13:20,336
Not in this town.

1095
01:13:20,974 --> 01:13:26,294
When say, a little past sundown, we go and pay them a visit.

1096
01:13:26,367 --> 01:13:31,420
before that, I mean, look, you got anything else you want to look around here, I support
it.

1097
01:13:31,420 --> 01:13:42,712
Otherwise, I'm kind of inclined to, you know, talk to some of them freaks up at the hotel,
but I don't have any grand ideas about what I'm about to find.

1098
01:13:42,712 --> 01:13:45,487
I definitely want to snap a photo of this oval window.

1099
01:13:45,487 --> 01:13:51,038
And that's it for me.

1100
01:13:51,038 --> 01:13:54,153
Yeah, you snap a photo of the oval window.

1101
01:13:54,153 --> 01:13:56,667
Go ahead and roll your sanity.

1102
01:13:56,667 --> 01:13:57,843
68.

1103
01:13:58,652 --> 01:14:01,703
Agent Ryan, you're able to hold it together for now.

1104
01:14:02,564 --> 01:14:07,946
But an overwhelming sense of dread enters your body.

1105
01:14:07,946 --> 01:14:11,647
Goosebumps crawl across your arms and back.

1106
01:14:12,548 --> 01:14:14,709
What the hell are you doing here?

1107
01:14:15,629 --> 01:14:19,911
This glass looks like it was cut at the molecular level.

1108
01:14:20,972 --> 01:14:22,832
You've just taken a picture of it.

1109
01:14:22,832 --> 01:14:26,414
Paranoia enters your brain.

1110
01:14:27,568 --> 01:14:29,059
Should you be here?

1111
01:14:29,059 --> 01:14:31,219
Should you have taken that picture?

1112
01:14:31,539 --> 01:14:36,161
What is this organization that recruited you?

1113
01:14:36,621 --> 01:14:41,463
All these questions start flooding your mind and you almost lose it.

1114
01:14:42,463 --> 01:14:44,122
But you breathe through it.

1115
01:14:44,724 --> 01:14:46,584
You rewind your camera

1116
01:14:47,026 --> 01:14:50,450
You turn around and see Agent Dell.

It doesn't look like he's noticed anything happened to you at all.

Hi, this is Nick, the handler for this actual play.

1120
01:15:19,238 --> 01:15:24,067
I just wanted to pop in at the end of the first episode here and thank you for listening.

1121
01:15:24,067 --> 01:15:28,466
I appreciate you spending the time and getting through the whole episode with us.

1122
01:15:28,466 --> 01:15:38,795
Next time, we will wrap up this small one-shot with an action-packed and very bloody
conclusion.

1123
01:15:38,876 --> 01:15:40,116
Thank you again.
