1
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:19,590
This is session seven, the conduit is open, Star Brother.

2
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:21,690
Can you hear me?

3
00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:23,890
Just one more question tonight.

4
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:26,110
Show me again.

5
00:00:30,878 --> 00:00:33,199
Your old partners, majestic.

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,891
Yes, their betrayal.

7
00:00:34,891 --> 00:00:39,983
For years you worked with them, showed them wonders, and now they turned on you.

8
00:00:40,504 --> 00:00:48,328
Show me the engine they build, not the stolen light, but the gifts they gave you, the
gifts you gave them.

9
00:00:49,249 --> 00:00:52,711
The secrets they now twist and steal because you wouldn't give them what they want.

10
00:00:52,711 --> 00:00:56,593
This final terrible door, show me the terrible door, show me, show me, show show me.

11
00:00:56,693 --> 00:00:58,634
Show me them breaking the pact.

12
00:01:06,902 --> 00:01:10,842
Yes, yes, the arrogance, the human greed.

13
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:12,242
I see it, I see it.

14
00:01:12,242 --> 00:01:15,582
They took the knowledge, the greed, the creation you shared.

15
00:01:15,582 --> 00:01:18,722
They're twisting it into something.

16
00:01:19,802 --> 00:01:21,102
They think they can control it.

17
00:01:21,102 --> 00:01:22,981
They think they control it.

18
00:01:22,981 --> 00:01:23,822
Fools.

19
00:01:23,822 --> 00:01:27,982
Fools, they broke the accord with you and you told them no.

20
00:01:28,202 --> 00:01:30,762
You saw what they would do with it, didn't you?

21
00:01:31,222 --> 00:01:32,782
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

22
00:01:32,782 --> 00:01:34,662
Come back, stop fading.

23
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:35,542
Yeah.

24
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:38,592
You're afraid of what we've become.

25
00:01:38,814 --> 00:01:40,956
You're afraid of what I do to you.

26
00:01:41,277 --> 00:01:43,840
Here, more pain, more pain.

27
00:01:43,841 --> 00:01:45,161
Here, come here.

28
00:01:47,764 --> 00:01:50,137
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so, sorry.

29
00:01:50,137 --> 00:01:54,801
The truth must be clear, the nature of everything.

30
00:01:55,263 --> 00:01:56,964
Show me the colors again.

31
00:01:57,414 --> 00:01:58,546
I see they're coming.

32
00:01:58,546 --> 00:01:59,907
Yes, I see.

33
00:02:01,209 --> 00:02:02,370
Your friends are coming.

34
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:05,594
Oh, yes.

35
00:02:07,968 --> 00:02:08,868
Okay.

36
00:02:13,950 --> 00:02:15,713
Yes, they're coming too.

37
00:02:16,096 --> 00:02:19,744
Listen to the dead letter barrow.

38
00:02:20,428 --> 00:02:21,569
Welcome.

39
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:35,604
the Sundowner Mine partially collapsed, recedes behind you.

40
00:02:35,604 --> 00:02:43,361
There's a dull thud of some rocks in the distance still falling from it as you're walking
out into the desert again.

41
00:02:43,361 --> 00:02:46,833
the dry earth around there starts to crumple under your foot.

42
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,676
And you reflect on what happened over the past...

43
00:02:50,928 --> 00:02:52,650
two and a half hours of your life.

44
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:57,734
That reflection is a brutal hammer, thrumming in your head.

45
00:02:57,734 --> 00:03:04,818
The heat starts to feel like a physical weight and you're baking in your own sweat and the
grime on your skin.

46
00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:13,842
It's a few mile trudge back to the vulval over broken rocks and there is an eerie silence
as the cave

47
00:03:14,622 --> 00:03:18,432
escapes your vision and you are continuing back.

48
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:22,712
Anything you're doing or talking about in the desert as you make your way back.

49
00:03:22,712 --> 00:03:25,618
it evening by this point?

50
00:03:25,618 --> 00:03:26,970
3 p.m.

51
00:03:26,970 --> 00:03:32,376
I think I'm looking down at the scrap of flesh that I peeled off the forearm of the
sniper.

52
00:03:32,376 --> 00:03:42,527
Mulling over this tattoo, which maybe seems to have some loose association to majestic, it
sure seems like they're going to be a perpetual thorn in our side figure.

53
00:03:42,797 --> 00:03:46,639
maybe there's something we could do to balance those scales out a

54
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:47,350
Absolutely.

55
00:03:47,350 --> 00:04:00,809
You have encountered two majestic agents, seemingly, and you have noticed that they do not
ask questions, they shoot first, and that leaves an uneasy feeling in your stomach, Ryan,

56
00:04:00,809 --> 00:04:10,549
you've never dealt with people like this, so maybe you feel a little overwhelmed by the
prospect of a competing agency trying to murder you.

57
00:04:10,692 --> 00:04:13,732
Yeah, I think that's probably accurate.

58
00:04:14,392 --> 00:04:16,272
I'm like, I'm just the computer guy.

59
00:04:16,272 --> 00:04:20,912
I don't know how I ended up killing an alien and now I'm getting shot at.

60
00:04:20,912 --> 00:04:23,712
But I'm down for the adventure.

61
00:04:23,712 --> 00:04:29,132
I'm feeling more alive than I've ever felt in my 35 years, that's for sure.

62
00:04:29,719 --> 00:04:39,877
Yeah, yeah, speaking of killing an alien, you also reflect on the grays that you saw in
the cave and their impossible movements, those fathomless black eyes.

63
00:04:39,877 --> 00:04:44,381
both of you encountered some sort of psychic ability in different forms.

64
00:04:44,381 --> 00:04:50,307
One of them tore through Dell and the other one froze Ryan in his spot,

65
00:04:50,307 --> 00:05:01,417
that cold knot of memory, a violation of natural law, makes killing that human before you
went into the cave almost seem mundane to you, Ryan, it's still fresh.

66
00:05:01,417 --> 00:05:06,816
You've never been around so much death in your life, but this is a new type of game to
you,

67
00:05:06,816 --> 00:05:20,877
Yeah, I mean, I think the simple death of a bullet now feels uncomplicated next to the
idea of what manner of unspeakable horror could be unleashed from the mind of something we

68
00:05:20,877 --> 00:05:22,170
can't reckon with.

69
00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:31,983
just as unspeakable, the ancient desert feels like it watches you and it's indifferent to
the trauma you just experienced as your beat up Volvo finally appears.

70
00:05:31,983 --> 00:05:38,887
Less a sanctuary, maybe more just another uncomfortable ride deeper into this unfolding
nightmare.

71
00:05:39,228 --> 00:05:41,280
But you are back to your car.

72
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:48,089
I wonder what the local authorities around here know about Majestic.

73
00:05:48,089 --> 00:05:55,410
I mean, they have to know that there's these group of people out here looking pretty sus
at times.

74
00:05:55,410 --> 00:05:57,015
I'm wondering, yeah.

75
00:05:57,015 --> 00:06:00,772
they must either be causing them trouble or working together.

76
00:06:00,772 --> 00:06:05,668
And one of those at least seems fortunate for us, right?

77
00:06:05,668 --> 00:06:07,450
Or at least like we could ally.

78
00:06:07,916 --> 00:06:19,520
Do you think that it makes sense for us to go talk to the sheriff back in Jerome or ask
what they might know or even any information on Arthur at this point to help guide us to

79
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,761
where he might be?

80
00:06:21,683 --> 00:06:22,964
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

81
00:06:22,964 --> 00:06:34,195
I think maybe coming clean or as clean as we can uh with the sheriff maybe puts us in his
good books or at least not in his bad books.

82
00:06:34,735 --> 00:06:40,493
Right, because we could be the bad guy to them at this moment, which is probably not
great.

83
00:06:40,995 --> 00:06:49,705
who knows if Majestic is in their ear, but I mean, given the trouble that they've caused,
I guess I'd be surprised if they had a blooming relationship.

84
00:06:49,705 --> 00:06:51,448
Yeah, agreed.

85
00:06:52,195 --> 00:06:56,885
Okay, yeah, mean maybe just best to get ahead of it and head straight in.

86
00:06:56,885 --> 00:06:59,101
Yeah, and hopefully it goes well.

87
00:06:59,101 --> 00:07:04,272
Hopefully they're not, you know, siding with Majestic, but I think we'll be able to tell.

88
00:07:04,671 --> 00:07:07,290
I don't think I've ever hoped for something to go poorly.

89
00:07:07,290 --> 00:07:09,106
That surprises me a little bit.

90
00:07:09,106 --> 00:07:12,299
So getting in the car and heading back to Jerome.

91
00:07:12,452 --> 00:07:16,877
you had to drive over some pretty risky terrain to get out this far.

92
00:07:16,877 --> 00:07:19,560
So whoever's driving, go ahead and roll a drive.

93
00:07:20,158 --> 00:07:21,689
We need dice for this game.

94
00:07:21,689 --> 00:07:23,227
What the heck is that?

95
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:25,937
Hehehe.

96
00:07:27,085 --> 00:07:27,878
Hehehe.

97
00:07:27,878 --> 00:07:35,120
Yeah, you start driving back, you're still a little mixed up from that psychic assault.

98
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,979
In fact, you still have blood drive to the inside of your eyes that you're trying to pick
out and you lose some time.

99
00:07:40,979 --> 00:07:44,612
On the way out here, it took you about an hour to get this far.

100
00:07:44,612 --> 00:07:51,702
Takes you about two and a half to get back out to the main road and navigate all of the
rocks and things jutting from the ground.

101
00:07:51,702 --> 00:07:57,127
But you do make it back as nightfall is starting to take over the valley.

102
00:07:57,127 --> 00:08:04,086
It looks like Jerome is still lit by the setting sun, but in the valley where you are, it
is dark.

103
00:08:04,086 --> 00:08:08,660
Alright, I mean, they might be closed up shop for the night, but we could at least go
check.

104
00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:09,276
as well.

105
00:08:09,276 --> 00:08:10,349
Yeah, what's the approach?

106
00:08:10,349 --> 00:08:15,892
Just driving straight to where you knew the sheriff's office was, the little city
municipal area.

107
00:08:15,892 --> 00:08:16,616
think so.

108
00:08:16,616 --> 00:08:21,134
I mean, there's no reason to do it any different that I can think of.

109
00:08:21,324 --> 00:08:29,779
Yeah, mean our car is recognizable, but I don't know that there's a place where we're
going to be able to park it where it won't be seen.

110
00:08:30,462 --> 00:08:36,968
if there's a back alley or behind a dumpster or something that we can manage that's off
the beaten path.

111
00:08:36,968 --> 00:08:39,632
You know, my favorite movie is Back to the Future.

112
00:08:39,632 --> 00:08:50,332
And I remember a scene when they were trying to hide the DeLorean and they found like a
huge billboard that they hid it behind, covered it with some stuff.

113
00:08:50,493 --> 00:08:52,755
Maybe we could do something like that.

114
00:08:53,147 --> 00:08:54,256
Both of you, roll luck.

115
00:08:54,256 --> 00:08:55,702
Our plan is just that good.

116
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,862
Yeah, it's looking like a 30.

117
00:08:57,870 --> 00:09:00,210
Not lucky over here.

118
00:09:00,210 --> 00:09:00,998
94.

119
00:09:00,998 --> 00:09:10,053
As you're driving up, you don't see a billboard, but you see a hollowed out RV that is
rusted to hell, a little bit from town.

120
00:09:10,053 --> 00:09:16,730
It would be about a 20 minute walk from there up the switchbacks, but you think you could
probably hide it behind that RV.

121
00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:22,046
I mean, I don't mind the idea of not making a big entrance back into town, right?

122
00:09:22,046 --> 00:09:28,323
They're probably watching, but if they're watching through a scope, are we just putting
ourselves in more danger if we're just hoofing it?

123
00:09:28,323 --> 00:09:31,602
If that's the case, then probably, yeah.

124
00:09:32,074 --> 00:09:33,848
All right, well, I'll leave it to you.

125
00:09:33,848 --> 00:09:37,365
You take our chances on foot, you just wanna roll up to where the sheriff is.

126
00:09:37,365 --> 00:09:39,095
think we should just roll up.

127
00:09:39,142 --> 00:09:39,829
Yeah.

128
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,675
No fear, we're going in.

129
00:09:42,199 --> 00:09:42,795
Yeah.

130
00:09:42,795 --> 00:09:46,208
I'm tired, so I don't feel like walking.

131
00:09:46,208 --> 00:09:47,790
we've done enough of that.

132
00:09:48,878 --> 00:09:50,762
Yeah, you're both quite tired.

133
00:09:50,762 --> 00:10:05,108
You drive up a recognizable few switchbacks and get to the Historical Society past the
Compu Cafe, which looks closed, and you see the county building and there are some lights

134
00:10:05,108 --> 00:10:05,639
on.

135
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,474
The sign does read closed, but there is somebody inside.

136
00:10:09,474 --> 00:10:11,596
We've got a badge, is that right?

137
00:10:12,238 --> 00:10:16,745
Some description of station?

138
00:10:16,745 --> 00:10:20,670
we just, they take in our word that we're important people.

139
00:10:20,811 --> 00:10:22,858
You're both FBI, correct?

140
00:10:23,328 --> 00:10:23,653
Yes.

141
00:10:23,653 --> 00:10:29,567
Yeah, you both have badges that have your real identities and real badge numbers on them.

142
00:10:29,567 --> 00:10:39,066
You could use that all you want, but you know that it's probably good to be careful and
less trusting when you're in this line of this part of your job

143
00:10:39,066 --> 00:10:48,035
Those badges, you could cover up maybe the important details with a thumb, show the
authority without the details.

144
00:10:48,035 --> 00:10:48,799
Yeah.

145
00:10:49,436 --> 00:10:50,271
Alright.

146
00:10:50,427 --> 00:10:52,010
How much do you need to see, really?

147
00:10:52,010 --> 00:10:53,553
You're gonna comply, aren't you?

148
00:10:53,553 --> 00:10:54,014
okay.

149
00:10:54,014 --> 00:11:01,008
I mean, I think we try and move quick, go ahead and take a look at the front door and
knock if we must.

150
00:11:01,008 --> 00:11:03,361
Yeah, you walk up some stairs.

151
00:11:03,361 --> 00:11:09,165
It looks like an old west boardwalk that goes around this entire municipal building.

152
00:11:09,165 --> 00:11:17,856
And there are a few lanterns lit up around it that, would light the way for tourists to
walk to other things past this area.

153
00:11:17,856 --> 00:11:23,151
And then there's just a glass push door and the sign is closed, but deeper in the
building, you see a light.

154
00:11:23,151 --> 00:11:30,610
Okay, I think I'll shine a mag light flashlight in and just give a little tap tap tap with
the backside of it, right?

155
00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:36,393
Like even to the point where it sounds like maybe it could crack the glass just so you
know we're serious.

156
00:11:36,393 --> 00:11:37,356
Okay, yeah.

157
00:11:37,356 --> 00:11:38,440
It's very cop-like.

158
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:44,504
Yeah, you tap, tap, tap there's a door that you see open up, light spills out of it.

159
00:11:44,504 --> 00:11:52,647
And you see a aging, maybe Hispanic or half Mexican man come out in a sheriff's outfit.

160
00:11:52,647 --> 00:11:59,058
Looks like he's kind of like stretching as he walks and comes up, gives you two a look.

161
00:11:59,058 --> 00:12:00,659
You guys are filthy.

162
00:12:01,016 --> 00:12:05,041
probably smell, kind of shakes his head and flips open the lock.

163
00:12:05,041 --> 00:12:07,223
Doesn't have his hand on his gun or anything.

164
00:12:07,223 --> 00:12:12,427
Slowly opens it up and says, I've been looking for you two gringos.

165
00:12:12,808 --> 00:12:14,800
You're at the phone company, right?

166
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,842
Something like that.

167
00:12:15,842 --> 00:12:19,478
Maybe best if we talk inside and clear this whole ordeal up.

168
00:12:19,478 --> 00:12:20,558
would appreciate that.

169
00:12:20,558 --> 00:12:25,209
That would make my job a lot easier and probably make this paperwork a lot quicker.

170
00:12:25,209 --> 00:12:32,480
You mind if I put these babies on you and he holds up a pair of handcuffs just to ensure
my own safety?

171
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,172
Shoot, what a vote of confidence.

172
00:12:34,172 --> 00:12:35,677
Yeah, I mean, I suppose.

173
00:12:35,677 --> 00:12:36,621
Great, great.

174
00:12:36,621 --> 00:12:37,428
Just one pair.

175
00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:40,448
He's got two, one left on his belt.

176
00:12:40,448 --> 00:12:41,999
He's just holding up one.

177
00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:45,379
Great, great, that would set my mind at ease while we talked.

178
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:52,119
You're not under arrest yet or anything, but it just makes it a little easier for me.

179
00:12:52,892 --> 00:12:59,115
Yeah, I gotta be honest, it doesn't quite feel that way, you know, if the precautions are
just precautions, so be it.

180
00:12:59,115 --> 00:13:00,543
Yeah, he opens the door all the way.

181
00:13:00,543 --> 00:13:02,021
motions for you to come in.

182
00:13:02,021 --> 00:13:06,423
Yeah, go in find a comfy seat, look right at home.

183
00:13:07,225 --> 00:13:08,646
You both sit down.

184
00:13:09,046 --> 00:13:12,760
He motions for you to hold your hands out in the handcuff fashion.

185
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:24,470
If there's no objections, he puts the handcuffs on you gingerly, walks around his desk and
picks up a half smoked cigarette that has been burning there since he walked over to get

186
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:28,817
you, takes a long drag off of it and breathes really, really deeply.

187
00:13:28,817 --> 00:13:30,037
He says, well.

188
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:39,334
Bellboy, his name was James and he sure did get the worst of it there.

189
00:13:39,334 --> 00:13:44,037
The other fella lost his face but it's a damn shame about James.

190
00:13:44,037 --> 00:13:46,318
His family's really upset.

191
00:13:46,579 --> 00:13:47,852
So what happened?

192
00:13:47,852 --> 00:13:49,027
Yeah, I mean...

193
00:13:49,027 --> 00:13:51,532
I imagine he had to be pretty scared before he went.

194
00:13:51,532 --> 00:13:53,335
That other man, not so much.

195
00:13:53,335 --> 00:13:59,296
He knew exactly what he was doing, but I fear poor James took it right in the back of the
head, didn't even know it was coming.

196
00:13:59,296 --> 00:14:02,559
That's what it looked like when I got on the scene.

197
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,627
um Yes, we found traces of gunpowder on the other man's hand.

198
00:14:07,627 --> 00:14:13,672
So it did look that way, but we also found a broken window and two missing strangers.

199
00:14:14,386 --> 00:14:15,629
Yes sir, those are us.

200
00:14:15,629 --> 00:14:18,913
The ones who survived.

201
00:14:19,675 --> 00:14:32,041
If you got any sort of laboratory in here, I imagine you have to know that the gun
signature responsible for James came from that headless man yonder.

202
00:14:32,041 --> 00:14:35,504
we figured that just based on some easy ballistics.

203
00:14:35,504 --> 00:14:36,826
We don't have a lab or anything here.

204
00:14:36,826 --> 00:14:41,251
we would have sent it off to the state if the feds hadn't have intervened and kicked us
out.

205
00:14:41,251 --> 00:14:43,654
But that's beside the point.

206
00:14:43,654 --> 00:14:49,662
That fella that lost his head, I'm assuming that's your work, points to you, Adele.

207
00:14:49,662 --> 00:14:58,227
gives you a cursory glance, Ryan, and kind of shakes his head again, takes another deep
breath.

208
00:14:58,227 --> 00:15:00,524
He's like, well, he had a tattoo on his arm.

209
00:15:00,524 --> 00:15:04,462
And yeah, that kind of settled things on what type of guy he was.

210
00:15:04,462 --> 00:15:05,593
That snake and tiger.

211
00:15:05,593 --> 00:15:06,924
Did you see that?

212
00:15:07,788 --> 00:15:08,529
looks something like this.

213
00:15:08,529 --> 00:15:12,147
I'll just hold up my little fragment of skin.

214
00:15:12,147 --> 00:15:15,252
Yeah, we done seen our fair share of those today.

215
00:15:15,505 --> 00:15:18,563
Yeah, he's going to roll his sanity real quick from seeing that.

216
00:15:18,653 --> 00:15:19,345
He

217
00:15:20,463 --> 00:15:23,543
tears come to his eyes.

218
00:15:23,543 --> 00:15:26,943
There's something deeper here with that tattoo.

219
00:15:28,083 --> 00:15:32,243
He chokes up for a second, bites his lip, turns red.

220
00:15:32,683 --> 00:15:35,445
Well, his voice kind of gets shaky.

221
00:15:35,445 --> 00:15:42,525
Well, back in NAMM, must've been 69 or 70, we were up in the central highlands.

222
00:15:42,889 --> 00:15:46,131
Maybe one of those little excursions across the fence into Cambodia.

223
00:15:46,131 --> 00:15:52,193
We weren't officially on that, but you know, sometimes we'd go and they'd send us there.

224
00:15:52,193 --> 00:15:54,275
And then we'd see these other fellas.

225
00:15:54,275 --> 00:15:58,863
A little different breed of soldier, not regular grunts, not even green berets.

226
00:15:58,863 --> 00:16:02,137
They were more like ghosts, little whispers in the dark.

227
00:16:02,137 --> 00:16:09,383
We used to call them the SOG's, Phoenix Program, all these nicknames that didn't make much
sense, but these guys didn't officially exist.

228
00:16:09,383 --> 00:16:13,204
And nobody wanted to do any type of job near them.

229
00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:17,466
There was just some real hard cases as far as I saw.

230
00:16:18,207 --> 00:16:20,968
And yeah, they had that same goddamn ink.

231
00:16:20,968 --> 00:16:23,990
The Cobra, the Tiger marked all of their arms.

232
00:16:24,713 --> 00:16:31,819
They slipped in the jungle for weeks, come back looking like they'd stared into some shit
and the shit stared right back at them.

233
00:16:31,819 --> 00:16:35,252
And they are the type that would probably wink back.

234
00:16:35,252 --> 00:16:41,716
One time I asked our COs about them and they just act like they were smoke or told us we
were seeing things.

235
00:16:41,716 --> 00:16:45,559
But we knew they were there, but they were just doing something else.

236
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:49,352
And it looks like you got one of them, or maybe two of them.

237
00:16:49,352 --> 00:16:51,932
Yeah, that's our tally so far.

238
00:16:52,212 --> 00:17:01,592
I don't rightly know why our paths have crossed, but it seems they haven't taken kindly to
our presence.

239
00:17:01,892 --> 00:17:10,432
I know your town is supposed to be haunted, but real spooks, that's something different.

240
00:17:10,592 --> 00:17:12,372
Seems like you've got a problem.

241
00:17:12,827 --> 00:17:26,747
I do have a problem and I know, you know, I'm not sure if you're a part of any agency, but
when the feds came in, they were very tight-mouthed about anything and I don't necessarily

242
00:17:26,747 --> 00:17:30,407
like the old federal government coming into my town ever.

243
00:17:30,707 --> 00:17:34,298
So yeah, it's definitely spooked me.

244
00:17:34,298 --> 00:17:39,797
But I mean, two of those dead sons of bitches is a good thing in my book.

245
00:17:39,797 --> 00:17:43,443
I had a friend, PFC Henderson, he was just a kid.

246
00:17:43,443 --> 00:17:47,737
And you know, we were in a patch of hell, he was sharp.

247
00:17:47,737 --> 00:17:57,922
little too sharp and he was on perimeter one night and he stumbled upon one of their
special LZs and he swore he saw them loading crates that hummed or made some sort of

248
00:17:57,922 --> 00:17:58,443
sound.

249
00:17:58,443 --> 00:18:02,565
He said that when he got close to the crate, it went cold.

250
00:18:02,565 --> 00:18:06,187
And like he turned cold in the dead of the jungle in the summer.

251
00:18:06,187 --> 00:18:07,428
Felt like a crip to him.

252
00:18:07,428 --> 00:18:10,289
And he got real quiet after that, but then he...

253
00:18:10,554 --> 00:18:21,645
did something fucking stupid and told the COs about what he saw and not that long after
that Henderson caught a stray round during a I guess so-called firefight and I don't

254
00:18:21,645 --> 00:18:31,535
remember a firefight but it got him clean through the head and there was no enemy in sight
just another KIA but he was a good kid and I swore to protect him when he first came out

255
00:18:31,535 --> 00:18:35,037
and I'm pretty sure those tattooed bastards were the ones who

256
00:18:35,098 --> 00:18:36,124
Did a man.

257
00:18:36,304 --> 00:18:39,206
Do you have any theories about who they are?

258
00:18:39,206 --> 00:18:42,070
I just know they were into some weird stuff and nom.

259
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:47,695
And it seems like they're still running around, which was a hell of a surprise to me and
got me reflecting.

260
00:18:47,695 --> 00:18:52,439
And he sits back in his chair, it creaks loudly.

261
00:18:52,439 --> 00:19:00,666
And this is the first time you've noticed the half empty whiskey bottle next to him and a
glass with melted ice water in it.

262
00:19:00,771 --> 00:19:03,547
And he takes another deep breath.

263
00:19:03,547 --> 00:19:05,331
They have a way of cleaning up loose ends.

264
00:19:05,331 --> 00:19:10,209
I could see a nom and it seems like y'all are gonna be some more of those loose ends.

265
00:19:10,209 --> 00:19:12,870
How long have you seen them here in Jerome?

266
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:18,516
We had some feds that were nondescript come back asking questions about three months ago.

267
00:19:18,516 --> 00:19:27,572
I mean, were conspiracy theories going around town about them wanting to find some of our
old cave systems, but I didn't take any stock in it.

268
00:19:27,572 --> 00:19:31,484
That's pretty far out of town in my jurisdiction, so I just kind of wrote it off.

269
00:19:31,484 --> 00:19:38,991
There's a lot of theories that go around here, especially when it comes to the federal
government, Ruby Ridge and all, but no, I haven't seen these guys.

270
00:19:38,991 --> 00:19:42,762
So they've been probably in the shadows or they're new here.

271
00:19:42,762 --> 00:19:43,984
I'm not quite sure.

272
00:19:43,984 --> 00:19:52,590
Yeah, well, I mean, we're looking to drive them out or at least, you know, send a message
that we won't be dealt with so cleanly.

273
00:19:52,590 --> 00:20:01,776
So if you're able to keep your eyes and ears open, we'd like to, well, try and make sure
they know they're not welcome here.

274
00:20:02,036 --> 00:20:06,610
But as far as we can tell, seems like they're chasing a different loose end.

275
00:20:06,610 --> 00:20:09,542
And we just kind of happened to be incidental in that.

276
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:13,160
You know, man named Arthur Finch seems as though they have

277
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,908
special interest in his goings-on here.

278
00:20:18,857 --> 00:20:20,229
Yeah, I know Arthur.

279
00:20:20,229 --> 00:20:22,656
He's a strange, strange, strange guy.

280
00:20:22,656 --> 00:20:25,982
He keeps to himself most of the time.

281
00:20:25,982 --> 00:20:28,385
Why, you think that he has something to do with this?

282
00:20:29,099 --> 00:20:36,527
Well, we've seen a few strange things around his residence, including one of these
operatives inside.

283
00:20:36,959 --> 00:20:39,891
It seems like too much of a coincidence.

284
00:20:39,891 --> 00:20:45,495
His disappearance and all hadn't been seen the last three days the way we reckon.

285
00:20:46,456 --> 00:20:54,164
For a man that doesn't like to be seen much, if he really didn't want to be seen, you have
any idea where he might dig in?

286
00:20:54,164 --> 00:20:55,335
What's your persuade?

287
00:20:55,335 --> 00:20:56,595
Both of you.

288
00:20:56,755 --> 00:20:57,635
Okay.

289
00:20:57,915 --> 00:20:59,626
Yeah, add 20 % to that.

290
00:20:59,626 --> 00:21:00,982
Yeah, 24.

291
00:21:01,737 --> 00:21:02,717
Dang.

292
00:21:02,877 --> 00:21:03,828
All right.

293
00:21:03,828 --> 00:21:10,388
Yeah, he breezes like, well, he's got, I don't know, patch of desert out somewhere.

294
00:21:10,388 --> 00:21:15,479
I don't really know where, but it would probably be registered in the land records.

295
00:21:15,479 --> 00:21:22,082
There's a lot of desert around here, if you got a bit of paperwork, that'd be great.

296
00:21:22,679 --> 00:21:27,523
I don't, I'm not the best at looking through paperwork, but I can show you where the files
are.

297
00:21:28,141 --> 00:21:29,786
Well, we could be your clerks today.

298
00:21:29,786 --> 00:21:32,328
Yeah, he gets up with a groan.

299
00:21:32,328 --> 00:21:35,530
As he comes over to you, he unlocks both of your handcuffs.

300
00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:39,685
You smell the whiskey on his sweat.

301
00:21:39,685 --> 00:21:44,576
He gives both of you a hand to stand you up.

302
00:21:44,576 --> 00:21:45,703
You take the help.

303
00:21:45,703 --> 00:21:50,418
He walks you back through a labyrinthine hallway.

304
00:21:50,418 --> 00:21:53,313
You didn't realize this place was so big from the face of it.

305
00:21:53,313 --> 00:21:58,200
And you see a mayor's office as you walk by.

306
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,686
And then you see a records department and a small door and he opens it up.

307
00:22:03,686 --> 00:22:11,917
he comes over to the property records, which is like two shelves with drawers that have
small little cards in them that are property tax cards.

308
00:22:11,917 --> 00:22:13,378
Who's going to take a look?

309
00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:14,862
I can.

310
00:22:15,228 --> 00:22:15,661
Yeah.

311
00:22:15,661 --> 00:22:17,165
Do you have bureaucracy?

312
00:22:17,335 --> 00:22:19,258
I do 10.

313
00:22:19,625 --> 00:22:21,201
What about accounting?

314
00:22:21,921 --> 00:22:24,206
I do 10.

315
00:22:24,206 --> 00:22:33,449
Okay, yeah, roll a bureaucracy with the aid of the sheriff with 20 % on it.

316
00:22:33,449 --> 00:22:35,447
Nope, 46.

317
00:22:35,607 --> 00:22:37,729
Yeah, you're picking through there.

318
00:22:37,729 --> 00:22:39,433
You're not sure how it's coded.

319
00:22:39,433 --> 00:22:40,704
It's not by address.

320
00:22:40,704 --> 00:22:43,458
It's definitely not by name, because that's what you would have checked first.

321
00:22:43,458 --> 00:22:48,816
Any other approach to dig through this or just maybe spending the night and crashing
through each record.

322
00:22:48,816 --> 00:22:54,337
I mean, I can't really think of any other way to just thumb through it unless they have
digital files.

323
00:22:54,337 --> 00:22:55,628
So, yeah.

324
00:22:55,628 --> 00:22:59,541
Yeah, is there anything we might look up about the codes?

325
00:22:59,541 --> 00:23:05,716
Just kind of like check an online encyclopedia to get a little crash course on what we're
looking at.

326
00:23:06,497 --> 00:23:07,660
It does have a computer there.

327
00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:12,926
None of this is digitized, but you could probably look up the coding system for the
computer science world, right?

328
00:23:13,790 --> 00:23:14,234
Okay.

329
00:23:14,234 --> 00:23:21,554
It's like my highest, oh, it, yeah, no, 96.

330
00:23:22,994 --> 00:23:25,854
I was like, is that 09 or 90?

331
00:23:25,854 --> 00:23:27,274
It's 90.

332
00:23:27,851 --> 00:23:35,157
you're both gonna hunker down and look and the sheriff will chat with you as you do it,
but both of you roll luck.

333
00:23:35,157 --> 00:23:38,850
And if you get your luck rolled, then you'll be able to find it a little quicker.

334
00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:40,055
my God.

335
00:23:40,199 --> 00:23:41,115
dice.

336
00:23:41,661 --> 00:23:44,201
I rolled it 96 again.

337
00:23:45,181 --> 00:23:47,637
What are the chances of that?

338
00:23:47,637 --> 00:23:56,585
Alright, last session you guys basically were like special operatives killing everything
so I guess it's got to balance out a little bit.

339
00:23:56,699 --> 00:23:58,742
But this is my specialty.

340
00:23:59,644 --> 00:24:01,305
Yeah, true.

341
00:24:02,127 --> 00:24:03,018
True.

342
00:24:03,522 --> 00:24:11,782
you can ask the sheriff questions as you do this if you have anything, but if not, he is
getting tired and is going to sit back in his chair and fall asleep.

343
00:24:11,782 --> 00:24:15,273
Anything you want to do or ask of him before he passes out.

344
00:24:15,273 --> 00:24:25,093
Is there a specific area in Jerome that you think these guys are hiding out at all or are
you just don't know because you don't see them that often?

345
00:24:25,093 --> 00:24:28,868
Well, there's just so much open land and there's so many caves.

346
00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:31,672
God only knows where they're at and where they're coming from.

347
00:24:31,672 --> 00:24:37,419
There's only one way into town and we didn't clock any different type of vehicles other
than yours coming in here.

348
00:24:37,419 --> 00:24:43,601
So my guess is they're camped out somewhere and coming in on foot, but it's really hard to
say, honestly.

349
00:24:43,601 --> 00:24:54,648
If they had interest in the mines, just like Finch, it's possible maybe they checked out
some records at the historical society.

350
00:24:54,648 --> 00:25:04,837
Like I said, we had the non-descript feds a few months back coming through and they did go
to the Historical Society But man again, that's I don't know if it's the same guys

351
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:10,645
Yeah, well, I mean, we'll put it at the bottom of our list and check their log books and
see if maybe there's any leads there.

352
00:25:10,645 --> 00:25:16,695
But I imagine it's in their interest to keep quiet and not leave a paper trail.

353
00:25:16,695 --> 00:25:18,938
you continue to search.

354
00:25:18,938 --> 00:25:22,463
The task is arduous and mind-numbingly boring.

355
00:25:22,463 --> 00:25:25,547
And you finally find where this parcel of land is.

356
00:25:25,547 --> 00:25:35,157
Looks like it's about two and a half miles out of Jerome, close to a cliffside, but tucked
around a bend based on the map that you're able to pull up and...

357
00:25:35,388 --> 00:25:37,582
match up to where the plot of land is.

358
00:25:37,582 --> 00:25:42,001
And it looks like a little private area in a small ravine.

359
00:25:42,001 --> 00:25:42,436
Okay.

360
00:25:42,436 --> 00:25:46,761
Just from the look of the lay of the land, does it seem like there is a...

361
00:25:48,879 --> 00:25:55,822
to be unseen as we get in there whether by foot or by car.

362
00:25:56,535 --> 00:26:07,571
You'd have to park a distance away to not be seen And then there's also an access road
above it that you could come down the rock face that it's near, So you could take the road

363
00:26:07,571 --> 00:26:10,947
in and then walk some of that, or you try to climb down.

364
00:26:10,947 --> 00:26:13,786
Ryan, how's your history of repelling?

365
00:26:13,786 --> 00:26:16,325
No history, so not great.

366
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:18,547
Yeah, so check that one off the list.

367
00:26:18,568 --> 00:26:21,030
think.

368
00:26:21,711 --> 00:26:22,732
All right.

369
00:26:22,732 --> 00:26:26,556
Well, Sheriff, you've been most obliging.

370
00:26:27,020 --> 00:26:28,665
Yeah, he wakes up with a start.

371
00:26:28,665 --> 00:26:29,886
What did you say?

372
00:26:30,036 --> 00:26:31,287
You

373
00:26:31,287 --> 00:26:32,097
sorry about that.

374
00:26:32,097 --> 00:26:33,579
Sorry about all this, honestly.

375
00:26:33,579 --> 00:26:35,812
I mean, I think we found what we needed.

376
00:26:35,812 --> 00:26:42,481
Hopefully we find Finch at the end of this and, you know, prevent any more senseless
violence in your territory here.

377
00:26:42,481 --> 00:26:45,144
We hope to be gone come sundown.

378
00:26:45,144 --> 00:26:49,420
And hopefully with us goes the need for the rest of these ghosts.

379
00:26:49,420 --> 00:26:56,894
I don't know where you came from or if you work for the phone company or not, but I
appreciate you trying to run them back out.

380
00:26:56,894 --> 00:27:02,419
And as far as I'm concerned, anybody who can kill two of those sons of bitches is in my
good book.

381
00:27:02,419 --> 00:27:06,864
So I appreciate what you've done and I don't have any more questions about your identity.

382
00:27:06,864 --> 00:27:08,586
And I guess...

383
00:27:08,586 --> 00:27:13,197
I don't really want to know at this point after what I've heard and seen already.

384
00:27:13,197 --> 00:27:16,586
So please definitely get the fuck out of my town after you're done.

385
00:27:16,586 --> 00:27:18,488
Just for my own peace of mind.

386
00:27:19,442 --> 00:27:22,706
Yes sir, I think we've seen just about all there is to see here.

387
00:27:22,706 --> 00:27:34,977
If you happen to catch wind of any more activity from these specters, you just go ahead
and give this number a call and I'll slip over kind of like a hotline that would get to

388
00:27:34,977 --> 00:27:37,901
us, you know, be flagged with significance.

389
00:27:38,508 --> 00:27:41,918
Yeah, yeah, you, yeah.

390
00:27:41,918 --> 00:27:46,541
Yeah, they have some dead numbers that Delta Green uses that you can throw over there, so.

391
00:27:46,541 --> 00:27:54,847
Clean up the records, make it look real nice and neat just like we found it and then gonna
go hit the road.

392
00:27:55,721 --> 00:27:59,829
Yeah, do you think that we should rest and clean up?

393
00:27:59,829 --> 00:28:03,768
Or do you think we should take advantage of the nighttime and head in?

394
00:28:03,768 --> 00:28:13,509
I think Arthur Finch is going to get out of here as soon as he catches wind of something
that puts the fear of God into him.

395
00:28:14,229 --> 00:28:18,129
I'm only just hoping he ain't caught none of that yet.

396
00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:20,409
I don't think we have time.

397
00:28:20,803 --> 00:28:21,556
Sounds good.

398
00:28:21,556 --> 00:28:25,529
As I like yawn and I'm like, all right, let's do it.

399
00:28:25,845 --> 00:28:29,592
Yeah, you'll both be rolling in with essentially a level of exhaustion.

400
00:28:29,592 --> 00:28:35,385
So minus 22, any roles that you need intelligence for basically.

401
00:28:35,385 --> 00:28:40,079
Well, I mean, maybe we could take a pair of these handcuffs as we're walking out.

402
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:49,154
Because like, as far as I'm concerned, if we apprehend the man, any sort of questions can
wait until we're somewhere far away and safe.

403
00:28:49,154 --> 00:28:49,486
Yeah.

404
00:28:49,486 --> 00:28:51,922
Yeah, are you just gonna steal him or are you gonna ask for him?

405
00:28:51,981 --> 00:28:53,794
I'll ask for them nicely.

406
00:28:53,836 --> 00:28:55,440
Last favor I'm asking for.

407
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,564
Yeah, he shrugs and says, yeah, you can take a pair of handcuffs.

408
00:28:59,564 --> 00:29:01,127
I got a whole box of them.

409
00:29:01,415 --> 00:29:06,353
figure you might give a little little jangle as we traipse on out of here.

410
00:29:06,771 --> 00:29:10,755
you have the map, it's a short drive from where you park the car.

411
00:29:10,755 --> 00:29:13,237
It's a winding one on access roads.

412
00:29:13,237 --> 00:29:16,843
No need to roll unless you're doing anything fancy on the way over.

413
00:29:16,843 --> 00:29:19,195
Describe your approach to finding this place.

414
00:29:19,195 --> 00:29:21,869
Yeah, mean, Ryan, you got the best look at the map.

415
00:29:22,631 --> 00:29:31,095
You got any instincts about whether driving up or going up on foot is going to be our best
bet?

416
00:29:31,705 --> 00:29:34,278
foot probably sounds the best.

417
00:29:34,278 --> 00:29:45,451
can, and I'm looking at the map, we can probably pull over right about, you know, this
point, which looks to be about a half mile from the property and probably walk from there.

418
00:29:45,932 --> 00:29:49,165
Probably hide the road in some bush or something.

419
00:29:50,023 --> 00:29:51,518
Yeah, I like that.

420
00:29:51,518 --> 00:29:57,273
We got enough moonlight to maybe just go without any sort of auxiliary light.

421
00:29:58,107 --> 00:30:01,240
Looks like it's just pure desert from there.

422
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:07,839
So I think it should be safe to go in without any light.

423
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,782
moon is big in the sky, it's about a half moon.

424
00:30:10,782 --> 00:30:12,194
Stars are shining as well.

425
00:30:12,194 --> 00:30:14,569
There's not a lot of light pollution up here.

426
00:30:14,569 --> 00:30:16,542
So you think you can navigate it.

427
00:30:16,542 --> 00:30:18,150
All right, let's do it.

428
00:30:19,118 --> 00:30:25,255
You park the car some distance from the trailer and it's a rocky road up there.

429
00:30:25,255 --> 00:30:27,778
Any stealth as you're working your way in?

430
00:30:27,778 --> 00:30:30,160
Okay.

431
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,473
Go ahead and roll stealth.

432
00:30:31,473 --> 00:30:33,233
49, we're good.

433
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:34,932
Ooh, two.

434
00:30:34,932 --> 00:30:36,294
I'm also good.

435
00:30:36,437 --> 00:30:36,948
shit.

436
00:30:36,948 --> 00:30:48,950
So, yeah, this is another one of those instances where Agent Ryan is just enamored by your
skills, when it comes to combat and stealth, and is able to mimic you and learn a little

437
00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:51,964
bit about sneaking up and taking a good approach.

438
00:30:51,964 --> 00:30:56,762
you are going along this road, you look in the distance, the moonlight.

439
00:30:56,762 --> 00:31:09,905
shines in a big basin of an old quarry but isn't man-made but has that look to it there is
cliffside surrounding this side of this there's an open part of the cliff that just looks

440
00:31:09,905 --> 00:31:17,606
down the rest of the mountain and you see off in the distance a double wide trailer that
looks beat to shit

441
00:31:17,606 --> 00:31:23,867
Yeah, just keep walking towards the trailer as stealthily as we are.

442
00:31:23,867 --> 00:31:25,988
Maybe try to look in a window or two.

443
00:31:25,988 --> 00:31:31,441
Yeah, I'm curious to see if we can ascertain if there are egresses.

444
00:31:31,441 --> 00:31:32,462
in and out.

445
00:31:33,687 --> 00:31:38,931
Go ahead and roll a alertness.

446
00:31:38,931 --> 00:31:40,180
Yeah, 20.

447
00:31:40,544 --> 00:31:50,939
you look at the trailer, there is a front door and then as you approach, it does look like
there is some sort of back patio because there's a light off to the back.

448
00:31:50,939 --> 00:31:54,795
You haven't got all the way around it yet, but your guess is there is two entrances.

449
00:31:54,795 --> 00:31:59,212
And as you get closer, you see there's a satellite dish.

450
00:31:59,212 --> 00:32:02,155
on the top of it with tangled wires everywhere.

451
00:32:02,155 --> 00:32:07,524
You hear in the distance the drone of a generator and the lights are on inside.

452
00:32:07,524 --> 00:32:10,927
But the windows look like they've been crudely blacked out.

453
00:32:10,927 --> 00:32:13,011
Like there's some with tin foil on them.

454
00:32:13,011 --> 00:32:14,694
You see one with like a blanket.

455
00:32:14,694 --> 00:32:16,200
So yeah, it's...

456
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:27,671
pretty gross around here, especially as you get closer and you have to avoid stepping on
empty plastic water bottles and soda cans there's stuff that was just swept out of the

457
00:32:27,671 --> 00:32:32,315
front door from there, like trash and refuse all over the front entrance.

458
00:32:32,830 --> 00:32:36,198
If we're able, how far away would you say we are at this point?

459
00:32:36,821 --> 00:32:37,397
You tell me.

460
00:32:37,397 --> 00:32:46,716
Well, I guess I'm inclined to see if I couldn't go up and stick something through the
handle of the front door to make it inoperable.

461
00:32:46,716 --> 00:32:50,292
Ryan would probably be more skilled at doing that.

462
00:32:50,292 --> 00:32:53,085
Would you want to try to jam the lock, Ryan, with your...

463
00:32:53,468 --> 00:32:54,526
Yeah.

464
00:32:54,526 --> 00:32:55,127
skills.

465
00:32:55,127 --> 00:33:00,514
ah I would roll for locksmith, yes.

466
00:33:03,033 --> 00:33:06,773
oh, didn't get it, 57 out of 40.

467
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:13,281
you think that you have done enough damage to it and pinned it enough to stop it from
opening.

468
00:33:13,281 --> 00:33:15,643
Any backup plan you wanna try to do, Dell?

469
00:33:15,899 --> 00:33:18,097
Well, I guess I was just imagining like,

470
00:33:18,097 --> 00:33:23,198
like lashing the handle to something fixed so that it can't swing open all the way.

471
00:33:23,198 --> 00:33:25,018
It doesn't have to be sophisticated.

472
00:33:25,338 --> 00:33:27,418
you have that rope still.

473
00:33:27,418 --> 00:33:32,818
You could potentially latch it to a post that is on the egress.

474
00:33:32,958 --> 00:33:35,109
Go ahead and roll athletics to tie it up.

475
00:33:35,109 --> 00:33:36,925
Did I mention I'm pretty tired?

476
00:33:36,925 --> 00:33:42,639
Like, I think I remember my knots, but like Boy Scouts was a long time ago.

477
00:33:42,639 --> 00:33:47,029
you sense your special knot feels pretty good.

478
00:33:47,672 --> 00:33:49,247
What do you do now?

479
00:33:49,247 --> 00:33:53,151
Does this strike you as the kind of man that would booby trap his own house?

480
00:33:53,151 --> 00:33:56,526
I didn't see anything like that in his apartment.

481
00:33:57,248 --> 00:34:04,961
So probably chances are low, but we should proceed with caution anyway.

482
00:34:05,307 --> 00:34:09,252
Okay, should we kill that generator or you just want to go ahead and...

483
00:34:09,252 --> 00:34:10,554
it's not a bad idea.

484
00:34:10,554 --> 00:34:15,431
Too bad I forgot my night vision back at home, but yeah, that's a good idea.

485
00:34:15,431 --> 00:34:16,462
Let's do that.

486
00:34:16,462 --> 00:34:19,654
And maybe he'll come outside to take a look at it.

487
00:34:20,416 --> 00:34:21,329
good idea too.

488
00:34:21,329 --> 00:34:29,939
Alright, yeah I think we'll go and try and find the source of the generator and see if we
can't find a place to hunker down before we try and turn it off.

489
00:34:29,939 --> 00:34:30,719
Okay.

490
00:34:31,562 --> 00:34:37,675
You get to the generator, it's easy to find with the sound and the cords running from it
to the trailer.

491
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:40,178
Just flipping off switch, assuming.

492
00:34:40,269 --> 00:34:41,522
unplugging it, yeah.

493
00:34:41,522 --> 00:34:42,582
Yeah, which one?

494
00:34:42,582 --> 00:34:44,813
Unplugging it or turning the whole thing off?

495
00:34:44,813 --> 00:34:48,659
Yeah, think turning it off makes it obvious that the generator is at fault.

496
00:34:48,659 --> 00:34:50,461
So we'll turn it off.

497
00:34:50,802 --> 00:34:53,817
Yeah, you flip the red switch to the off position.

498
00:34:53,817 --> 00:34:56,933
it clunks and then shuts off the trailer goes dark.

499
00:34:56,933 --> 00:34:59,125
and you're waiting to see if he comes out.

500
00:35:02,408 --> 00:35:03,408
He does not come out.

501
00:35:03,408 --> 00:35:05,336
You're about, how long would you wait?

502
00:35:06,081 --> 00:35:08,242
Maybe about five minutes or so.

503
00:35:08,590 --> 00:35:12,389
think I'm going to see if there's a way to scale up to the roof.

504
00:35:12,389 --> 00:35:16,296
you walk around, again, this is just a double wide, it's not that tall.

505
00:35:16,296 --> 00:35:21,785
You could probably get to a window sill and pop yourself up onto the roof.

506
00:35:21,785 --> 00:35:23,578
You would need athletics again for that.

507
00:35:23,578 --> 00:35:26,718
99 that seems bad

508
00:35:27,486 --> 00:35:29,081
We're very tired.

509
00:35:29,161 --> 00:35:31,984
Ryan, what are you doing while he's trying to climb the roof?

510
00:35:32,326 --> 00:35:39,951
I'm just watching from where the generator is, but I am curious about what Del's plan is
at this point.

511
00:35:39,951 --> 00:35:42,752
I was thinking that we would just try the back door.

512
00:35:42,967 --> 00:35:46,595
So I'm just kind of waiting to see what my next move should be.

513
00:35:46,932 --> 00:36:01,835
Yeah, you see Agent Sandusky get on the sill, about to pull himself up, and there is this
little trim on the roof, some white plastic trim, and it rips off and he just falls down

514
00:36:01,835 --> 00:36:02,897
and hits his head.

515
00:36:02,897 --> 00:36:05,111
Can you roll a dodge real quick for me?

516
00:36:05,111 --> 00:36:07,295
Yeah, critical success, 22.

517
00:36:07,295 --> 00:36:15,349
great, you fall down and your head narrowly misses just a giant stone as it still cracks
against the ground.

518
00:36:15,349 --> 00:36:17,851
Go ahead and take a D4 of damage.

519
00:36:17,851 --> 00:36:19,757
and you're shaking for a little bit.

520
00:36:19,757 --> 00:36:23,427
Ryan, you see him slip, fall, and smack his head pretty hard.

521
00:36:23,427 --> 00:36:24,468
What are you doing?

522
00:36:24,622 --> 00:36:27,282
I'm walking over to him to offer him a hand to get up.

523
00:36:27,282 --> 00:36:29,045
You handily get him up.

524
00:36:29,045 --> 00:36:31,830
seems a little disoriented when he first stands.

525
00:36:31,830 --> 00:36:33,393
You're a little lightheaded.

526
00:36:33,393 --> 00:36:36,217
no movement or anything, even with the fall.

527
00:36:36,217 --> 00:36:39,328
sound or anything coming from inside.

528
00:36:39,910 --> 00:36:44,541
Go ahead and roll a search for me.

529
00:36:44,541 --> 00:36:52,521
I got 41 out of 22.

530
00:36:52,582 --> 00:36:53,846
Yeah, yeah.

531
00:36:53,846 --> 00:36:56,089
No sounds coming from inside.

532
00:36:56,523 --> 00:36:57,036
Okay.

533
00:36:57,036 --> 00:37:01,793
Can I go jiggle the handle to the back door?

534
00:37:02,394 --> 00:37:03,537
it's locked.

535
00:37:03,861 --> 00:37:05,005
well, that's okay.

536
00:37:05,005 --> 00:37:06,668
I'm gonna try to crack it.

537
00:37:07,248 --> 00:37:08,065
roll it.

538
00:37:08,065 --> 00:37:09,380
Ooh, three.

539
00:37:10,193 --> 00:37:18,600
again, watching the master work, Dell, even though you feel a little blood in your mouth
from that fall, a little irony taste running through you.

540
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,243
You see Ryan unlock the door.

541
00:37:21,243 --> 00:37:22,375
Are you peeking in?

542
00:37:22,375 --> 00:37:22,829
Me?

543
00:37:22,829 --> 00:37:23,771
Yes.

544
00:37:23,789 --> 00:37:31,842
Yeah, you see the lock given and the door groans open and Dell, maybe you nudge it a
little further as it slowly opening.

545
00:37:31,842 --> 00:37:35,569
And the first thing that wafs out is a ripe smell.

546
00:37:35,569 --> 00:37:40,204
It's like stale sweat, maybe a week's worth of unwashed laundry.

547
00:37:40,204 --> 00:37:50,002
mixed with something really sharp and metallicky, almost like that bloody taste in your
mouth, Dell, but in smell form, like a almost formaldehyde as well.

548
00:37:50,002 --> 00:37:58,329
And it's faint, but you also hear a tiny little metallic like sound like clunk clunk.

549
00:37:58,718 --> 00:38:00,940
as you've opened the door, like a wiggling.

550
00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:03,612
It's really dark in here and extremely dim.

551
00:38:03,612 --> 00:38:15,538
You can't see much else because the windows are blacked out and there are, from the
inside, you see layers of cardboard and duct tape holding whatever materials he has

552
00:38:15,538 --> 00:38:17,070
against the windows up there.

553
00:38:17,070 --> 00:38:19,165
But it's pitch black, other than that.

554
00:38:19,165 --> 00:38:31,985
I was kind of on alert for something that might be trapped, so I'm just gonna try and stay
Ryan's hand before we push it open any further.

555
00:38:32,179 --> 00:38:33,379
What do you reckon?

556
00:38:34,819 --> 00:38:36,759
Sure, why not?

557
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,434
23 of 24, we love that.

558
00:38:39,434 --> 00:38:43,628
Oh, you quickly look in, look up.

559
00:38:43,628 --> 00:38:55,976
In your old hostage negotiation days, you also had booby trap training for extractions and
you don't see anything that looks makeshift or even sophisticated at a glance.

560
00:38:55,976 --> 00:38:58,717
So it does not seem like it's trapped, at least this door.

561
00:38:58,908 --> 00:39:02,043
Okay.

562
00:39:02,204 --> 00:39:11,240
Well, Ryan, do figure we just stroll on in or would you like to try and appeal to his
sense of self-preservation?

563
00:39:11,819 --> 00:39:17,556
I'm feeling a little overconfident, I think, after all that we've been through at this
point.

564
00:39:17,556 --> 00:39:27,764
I'm gonna pull out my gun, but a flashlight as well, do the old, all the stance that I
always see in all the movies that I watch, where I'm holding them both up at the same

565
00:39:27,764 --> 00:39:28,535
time.

566
00:39:28,535 --> 00:39:40,231
Okay, you have a little cross with the flashlight, you flick it on and the light cascades
across this kitchenette that you're in and you see it's a filthy mess.

567
00:39:40,231 --> 00:39:43,462
There are books everywhere, printouts of things.

568
00:39:43,462 --> 00:39:45,999
There's a half torn map.

569
00:39:45,999 --> 00:39:52,172
it looks like pure chaos, much like the apartment, but this looks more lived in and less
searched through.

570
00:39:52,172 --> 00:40:00,286
There are strange symbols written everywhere as well, like in Sharpie and pencil.

571
00:40:00,286 --> 00:40:03,188
Some of it maybe even looks like it's written in shit.

572
00:40:03,188 --> 00:40:08,042
And it looks like there's also Dell.

573
00:40:08,042 --> 00:40:20,464
drug paraphernalia on the counter, you see empty sheets of paper that typically have LSD
on them, And there's a hallway that leads back to a bedroom, it looks like, or the rest of

574
00:40:20,464 --> 00:40:24,298
the house, but the living room is absolutely torn to pieces.

575
00:40:24,298 --> 00:40:27,420
And you hear that metallic tingling sound.

576
00:40:27,865 --> 00:40:29,222
down that hallway again.

577
00:40:29,222 --> 00:40:29,645
way.

578
00:40:29,645 --> 00:40:32,974
Guess I expected him to have more of his wits about him.

579
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,478
Seems like old boy has lost the plot.

580
00:40:36,478 --> 00:40:38,678
Yes, he's doing some weird stuff.

581
00:40:38,678 --> 00:40:39,709
Eye hair, that's for sure.

582
00:40:39,709 --> 00:40:40,224
Yeah.

583
00:40:40,224 --> 00:40:47,127
I'm curious about the sound that I'm hearing and would like to get a little closer to what
that sound is.

584
00:40:47,127 --> 00:40:53,131
You start down the hallway, you have your flashlight out, you're stepping over garbage the
entire way.

585
00:40:53,131 --> 00:40:57,334
The smell gets more pungent, especially that formaldehyde type irony smell.

586
00:40:57,334 --> 00:41:06,221
As you walk up to a open doorway at the very end, right in the center of the pigsty, you
see him, Arthur Finch.

587
00:41:06,221 --> 00:41:09,123
He is sitting cross-legged.

588
00:41:09,322 --> 00:41:19,977
maybe passed out, maybe awake, it's hard to tell, and little slumped over, and he's
stripped to the waist, he looks gaunt, he hasn't had a shower or a square meal, it looks

589
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:20,889
like, in days.

590
00:41:20,889 --> 00:41:22,492
His eyes spring up

591
00:41:22,492 --> 00:41:27,978
as your flashlight crosses and his pupils are like black dimes, just massive pupils.

592
00:41:27,978 --> 00:41:30,661
And he starts muttering almost like a chant.

593
00:41:30,661 --> 00:41:36,246
And he has this notebook that he's scrolling some of these symbols in right in front of
him.

594
00:41:36,246 --> 00:41:40,629
You see drool and spittle come down his face with your flashlight.

595
00:41:40,629 --> 00:41:41,991
It gleans a little bit.

596
00:41:41,991 --> 00:41:45,467
What he's focusing on and what he's communing with.

597
00:41:45,467 --> 00:41:54,784
Well, you see it strapped tight to a metal reinforced bed with handcuffs and a mix of
heavy rope and duct tape.

598
00:41:55,105 --> 00:42:03,433
You see a small gray, skinny alien with black eyes tied down, but moving slightly.

599
00:42:03,433 --> 00:42:06,095
And that's where that tingling sound is coming from.

600
00:42:06,095 --> 00:42:10,198
It twitches and the handcuffs that are attached to its arm

601
00:42:10,439 --> 00:42:12,720
send a small ringing through the trailer.

602
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:18,165
It's almond-shaped eyes close as your flashlight goes over them, much like you saw in the
cave.

603
00:42:18,165 --> 00:42:18,986
It's one of them.

604
00:42:18,986 --> 00:42:21,008
This one looks pretty weak, banged up.

605
00:42:21,008 --> 00:42:24,653
It has some black goop on its head, like it was hit.

606
00:42:24,653 --> 00:42:28,247
And you both roll sanity for helplessness as you see this.

607
00:42:28,247 --> 00:42:28,786
8.

608
00:42:28,786 --> 00:42:33,555
But is it against our current sanity or is it against our willpower?

609
00:42:34,458 --> 00:42:35,601
Motherfucker.

610
00:42:35,601 --> 00:42:37,449
I failed by one.

611
00:42:37,449 --> 00:42:39,789
Hmm

612
00:42:39,789 --> 00:42:43,814
so in this instance, this is the first time we've had a sanity failure.

613
00:42:43,954 --> 00:42:49,440
You can choose to project the sanity lost to one of your bonds if you want to.

614
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:56,149
So you could pick Abigail, your ex-wife or your AA sponsor, Clinton, or you can take the
sand loss.

615
00:42:56,149 --> 00:43:03,529
Yeah, I mean, I don't like the idea of flubbing this now.

616
00:43:03,869 --> 00:43:12,649
Like, I think if ever there was a time to draw on my inner metal, this is it.

617
00:43:13,369 --> 00:43:19,360
So I will project this onto Clinton.

618
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,000
And what?

619
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,621
Could you describe for me a little bit of what form that might take?

620
00:43:26,403 --> 00:43:38,284
In your home scene after the operation, there, depending on how much you project, which is
the role of a D4, you will lose that bond score from that 11 that you have on your sheet.

621
00:43:38,284 --> 00:43:42,289
And if it's severe, then maybe you haven't contacted him in a while.

622
00:43:42,289 --> 00:43:44,870
You're used to calling him every day, letting him know you're clean.

623
00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:47,832
And he thinks you had a relapse and is worried about you.

624
00:43:47,832 --> 00:43:50,676
And it stresses him out, but you're using him for strength.

625
00:43:50,676 --> 00:43:54,498
while you're using him for that strength, it saps the relationship.

626
00:43:54,498 --> 00:44:02,212
Yeah, I mean, I sure am thinking about it, how nice that sheriff's whiskey bottle would
taste right about now.

627
00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:03,704
Romeo D4.

628
00:44:03,963 --> 00:44:04,710
three.

629
00:44:05,656 --> 00:44:15,595
you take three off of your current willpower and then take three off of the bond with
Clinton and you just lose one sanity.

630
00:44:15,595 --> 00:44:19,888
from that experience, And Ryan, you succeeded your sanity role.

631
00:44:20,389 --> 00:44:26,478
You have an iron stomach and a curiosity about you that is unmatched.

632
00:44:26,699 --> 00:44:29,081
Maybe it's something from your childhood.

633
00:44:29,081 --> 00:44:40,050
Maybe it's the way your grandma helped raise you, but you have a very open mind and
experience this in a much different way than Del, a much less rigid way.

634
00:44:40,050 --> 00:44:45,544
you're kind of just like, okay, this is what we're doing, but you still will have to take
one sanity.

635
00:44:45,544 --> 00:44:46,119
Okay.

636
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:53,053
While agent Sandusky is trying to compose himself, Ryan, you continue to look with your
flashlight.

637
00:44:53,053 --> 00:44:55,064
You see a car battery.

638
00:44:55,481 --> 00:45:07,552
and some wires hooked to it and they are attached to the metal part of the bed and one of
the wires is pulled off of it but it looks like using some sort of shock method on this

639
00:45:07,552 --> 00:45:07,953
thing.

640
00:45:07,953 --> 00:45:10,674
And that's the tableau that greets you.

641
00:45:10,674 --> 00:45:18,416
Finch is captive, whatever unholy drug-fueled thing is happening in front of you and...

642
00:45:18,924 --> 00:45:22,288
He finally locks in and looks up to you.

643
00:45:22,288 --> 00:45:33,088
he gets a big grin on his face and tries to stand, but falls down on his ass and starts
breathing really hard convulsing or seizing for a second, but then pulls it together again

644
00:45:33,088 --> 00:45:36,771
and sits back up and starts rocking back and forth.

645
00:45:37,352 --> 00:45:38,083
What do you do?

646
00:45:38,083 --> 00:45:41,325
I mean, I'm probably just saying, Arthur, what's going on?

647
00:45:41,325 --> 00:45:43,077
Roll me psychotherapy.

648
00:45:43,077 --> 00:45:44,980
I would give you a bonus, but you're exhausted.

649
00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:47,567
just, yeah, let's see what you can do.

650
00:45:47,567 --> 00:45:50,469
My psychotherapy skills, what's going on?

651
00:45:51,071 --> 00:45:54,924
Let's see.

652
00:45:54,924 --> 00:45:56,275
Hey, what's going on?

653
00:45:56,275 --> 00:46:00,613
ah I did not get it at 38.

654
00:46:00,655 --> 00:46:03,279
You're talking past whatever's happening.

655
00:46:03,279 --> 00:46:06,061
And he just starts saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't understand.

656
00:46:06,061 --> 00:46:07,563
You don't understand.

657
00:46:07,563 --> 00:46:09,054
You can't just interrupt me.

658
00:46:09,054 --> 00:46:11,707
It's delicate.

659
00:46:11,707 --> 00:46:12,639
It's delicate.

660
00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:13,769
What's delicate?

661
00:46:13,769 --> 00:46:15,324
You're trying to talk to me.

662
00:46:15,324 --> 00:46:17,087
Don't talk with me.

663
00:46:17,149 --> 00:46:19,826
He closes his eyes and starts breathing really hard.

664
00:46:19,826 --> 00:46:22,340
Life is delicate, Finch.

665
00:46:22,340 --> 00:46:23,942
You're toying with it.

666
00:46:23,942 --> 00:46:28,607
And I'm gonna go over to the gray and I'm going to hold the gun to its head.

667
00:46:28,607 --> 00:46:32,531
But I'm not acknowledging the gray, I'm staring at Finch.

668
00:46:33,089 --> 00:46:36,554
Yeah, he, go ahead and make a persuade

669
00:46:36,587 --> 00:46:37,767
he's not in his right mind.

670
00:46:37,767 --> 00:46:41,610
Like you're trying to get through to him, but he's in the zone right now.

671
00:46:42,052 --> 00:46:47,758
he looks back to you, doesn't even notice you holding the gun to hit the alien's head.

672
00:46:47,758 --> 00:46:49,640
He starts thumping his chest really hard.

673
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,734
And then he says, they operate on a wavelength we can't even fathom.

674
00:46:53,734 --> 00:46:55,854
And I have the key, I have the key.

675
00:46:55,854 --> 00:46:57,565
And he tries to close his eyes again.

676
00:46:57,565 --> 00:47:03,808
And this time when he closes his eyes, Del, you feel the alien convulse.

677
00:47:03,808 --> 00:47:06,051
And Ryan, you're looking at Finch.

678
00:47:06,051 --> 00:47:12,093
Finch's back straightens and he grits his teeth.

679
00:47:12,569 --> 00:47:20,801
and you see the telltale sign of blood coming out of his nose, much like what you saw
happen to Agent Dell when he was hit by the psychic blast.

680
00:47:20,801 --> 00:47:23,135
And he starts to laugh as this is happening.

681
00:47:23,135 --> 00:47:25,007
I don't like anything about this.

682
00:47:25,007 --> 00:47:34,901
Yeah, I'm wholly at odds with the notion of anything being held captive in this way, and
I'm going to execute the alien.

683
00:47:34,946 --> 00:47:36,168
it looks in pain.

684
00:47:36,168 --> 00:47:37,299
You don't know what it's feeling.

685
00:47:37,299 --> 00:47:45,381
You don't know if it can feel, but the, you get the sense that it is hurting and you shoot
it in the head, presumably.

686
00:47:45,985 --> 00:47:48,035
Yeah, that'll get his attention.

687
00:47:48,321 --> 00:47:54,310
Del shoots the alien in the head and that black eiker comes out, sprays all over your
body.

688
00:47:54,310 --> 00:48:00,528
Del, you don't have to take a sand loss because you're adapted to violence, but it was
quite a gruesome shot.

689
00:48:00,528 --> 00:48:07,114
and Ryan, you see Arthur fall over and start vomiting on the floor.

690
00:48:07,114 --> 00:48:13,071
The smell of the vomit is acidic and disgusting and almost again, chemically.

691
00:48:13,071 --> 00:48:20,396
And he rolls over to his side and is just wailing inconsolably.

692
00:48:20,396 --> 00:48:27,445
My inclination here is to just kill Arthur as well because I just don't like anything
about this scene.

693
00:48:27,445 --> 00:48:33,163
But before I jump to that conclusion, I just want to check in with Del.

694
00:48:33,163 --> 00:48:34,747
Del, what should we do here?

695
00:48:34,747 --> 00:48:40,191
I we're cleaning up in whatever way that means to us.

696
00:48:40,191 --> 00:48:42,133
I don't have any more business syndrome.

697
00:48:42,133 --> 00:48:46,737
I'd just as soon book him into the back of our car.

698
00:48:46,737 --> 00:48:49,280
There might be some answers in him yet.

699
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,952
Who knows what use he is.

700
00:48:50,952 --> 00:48:53,195
He's thrashing on the ground.

701
00:48:53,195 --> 00:49:02,843
It takes him a second and he looks up and sees the dead gray angel as he starts calling
it.

702
00:49:03,272 --> 00:49:05,006
He's like, an angel, the gray angel.

703
00:49:05,006 --> 00:49:06,870
It was giving me the truth.

704
00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:08,010
It's gone.

705
00:49:08,992 --> 00:49:10,764
He starts to wail again.

706
00:49:10,764 --> 00:49:11,612
handcuffs.

707
00:49:11,612 --> 00:49:13,259
That's what these are for.

708
00:49:13,915 --> 00:49:18,434
Yeah, go ahead and roll your unarmed to see if you can get him on him.

709
00:49:18,434 --> 00:49:19,795
Yeah, 55.

710
00:49:19,795 --> 00:49:21,418
Okay, he failed his dodge.

711
00:49:21,418 --> 00:49:24,142
You are able to get the handcuffs on him.

712
00:49:24,142 --> 00:49:26,667
Can you roll a dodge as well as he tries to headbutt you?

713
00:49:26,667 --> 00:49:28,875
He rolled a 67, which is a failure.

714
00:49:28,875 --> 00:49:39,464
I got a 007 but I'm gonna let him and I just like have my back foot back and he can like
put that right into my cheekbone and you see it kind of like break and collapse and I'll

715
00:49:39,464 --> 00:49:44,227
just like flinch towards him so that he knows he's not making any ground.

716
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,521
you loom over him.

717
00:49:46,521 --> 00:49:49,173
He's still in some sort of drug-addled state.

718
00:49:49,173 --> 00:49:52,969
He falls to his knees, holds his hand up and starts saying, please, please, please,
please.

719
00:49:52,969 --> 00:49:54,202
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

720
00:49:54,202 --> 00:50:05,204
Yeah, I'm gonna grab the middle of the handcuffs, the chain that connects them, and I'm
gonna drag them up and over his head, dislocate one of his shoulders in the process, and

721
00:50:05,204 --> 00:50:08,327
we're gonna start marching out of here.

722
00:50:08,556 --> 00:50:10,293
Yeah, do the unarmed again.

723
00:50:10,293 --> 00:50:12,220
Ryan, what are you doing while this is happening?

724
00:50:12,220 --> 00:50:13,623
You failed the dodge.

725
00:50:13,673 --> 00:50:19,618
watching in awe and I and I'm also kind of looking around to see if there's anything
noteworthy that we should

726
00:50:19,618 --> 00:50:28,066
take with us or just thinking of a way to get rid of everything that's in this trailer or
the trailer altogether.

727
00:50:28,257 --> 00:50:36,327
You don't have your forensic kit, you can use your forensic skills to sift through this as
Dell is trying to get him in the car.

728
00:50:36,327 --> 00:50:37,864
Nailed it, 15.

729
00:50:37,864 --> 00:50:39,356
Great, we'll get back to that.

730
00:50:39,356 --> 00:50:41,778
So you dislocate his arm successfully.

731
00:50:41,778 --> 00:50:43,401
He failed his dodge roll.

732
00:50:43,401 --> 00:50:45,023
He screams in pain.

733
00:50:45,023 --> 00:50:48,948
There is blood running down his eyes along with his tears.

734
00:50:48,948 --> 00:50:51,010
And he continues to mutter.

735
00:50:51,010 --> 00:50:53,132
It's mostly nonsense at this point.

736
00:50:53,132 --> 00:50:55,163
You hear Grey Angel here and there.

737
00:50:55,163 --> 00:50:56,574
You hear truth.

738
00:50:56,837 --> 00:51:01,475
You hear God, you hear a lot of strange descriptors coming out.

739
00:51:01,475 --> 00:51:06,040
He's whispering at this point as you're pulling him out of the trailer and putting him in
the car.

740
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,973
That's where you're putting him, is in the car.

741
00:51:07,973 --> 00:51:11,814
and I'll bring it up and around to pick up Ryan when we get there.

742
00:51:12,798 --> 00:51:18,644
Yeah, you drag him back a long walk with a wiggly guy.

743
00:51:18,644 --> 00:51:19,897
Give me your athletics.

744
00:51:19,897 --> 00:51:29,764
Yeah, I think I'm kind of like holding him one hand on the cuffs and the other hand at the
base of that shoulder just in case he tries to make a move like it's not going to be not

745
00:51:29,764 --> 00:51:30,635
going to be pleasant.

746
00:51:30,635 --> 00:51:31,605
Athletics you said?

747
00:51:31,605 --> 00:51:33,456
Yeah, just fine.

748
00:51:34,412 --> 00:51:39,998
All right, Agent Sandusky, you're able to drag him back to the car, no problem.

749
00:51:39,998 --> 00:51:50,650
He wiggles around, tries to drop to his knees, but you're able to heft him back up and you
throw him in the back, get the car started and drive up to the trailer.

750
00:51:51,071 --> 00:51:56,556
Inside the trailer, you're searching for things, correct, Agent Ryan?

751
00:51:57,187 --> 00:51:59,689
Yes, I am searching the trailer.

752
00:52:01,591 --> 00:52:05,155
There's a lot of stuff, so I'm kind of overwhelmed.

753
00:52:05,155 --> 00:52:06,680
yeah.

754
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,622
you notice are the symbols everywhere.

755
00:52:08,622 --> 00:52:18,432
And you also have the book that he was holding physically that you're able to grab, which
is a thick journal, You do a quick flip through it.

756
00:52:18,432 --> 00:52:20,213
It has writing everywhere.

757
00:52:20,213 --> 00:52:24,315
The writing looks neat at first and then turns into these symbols later.

758
00:52:25,070 --> 00:52:38,421
on in the journal and are unintelligible and there is a sheet of acid that falls out with
a few tabs left on it from the journal as you're flipping through and the big thing that

759
00:52:38,421 --> 00:52:43,999
you see is a strange diagram of almost a hand-drawn weapon.

760
00:52:43,999 --> 00:52:51,688
you would be able to read through this and maybe get some context, but you can't do that
right now unless you wanna spend the night.

761
00:52:52,292 --> 00:52:58,744
No, definitely not wanting to spend the night with shit symbols on the walls here.

762
00:52:59,452 --> 00:53:04,775
But definitely wanting to take this stuff and start piling it up in my arms.

763
00:53:05,537 --> 00:53:07,437
Okay, you grab the journal.

764
00:53:08,397 --> 00:53:10,697
Everything else seems like trash.

765
00:53:10,818 --> 00:53:18,089
I mean, I'm going to run this by Dell when he gets back, but I really just want to set
this place on fire and just get rid of everything.

766
00:53:18,978 --> 00:53:29,370
You hear the car pull up and you go to the front door, which is still roped shut, but you
can see that Dell is, and hear that Dell is waiting in the car.

767
00:53:30,112 --> 00:53:31,344
Are you gonna yell for him?

768
00:53:31,344 --> 00:53:37,127
I mean, I'll just go out the back door and walk around the front and take the rope off of
the front door.

769
00:53:37,127 --> 00:53:43,287
Yeah, and then have a conversation with him about tidying this place up.

770
00:53:44,987 --> 00:53:46,561
Del, this is what I've got.

771
00:53:46,561 --> 00:53:50,655
I think it's the most helpful, you know, bit of papers that I could see.

772
00:53:50,655 --> 00:53:55,605
Do you want to take one last look before we just light this place up or?

773
00:53:56,167 --> 00:54:05,114
Yeah, I mean, if you got any mileage left on your little disposable camera, maybe we take
snapshots of the rest of the walls in here.

774
00:54:05,114 --> 00:54:12,076
Yeah, I mean, I'll give it a look, but I think leave no trace, right?

775
00:54:12,076 --> 00:54:12,558
OK.

776
00:54:12,558 --> 00:54:20,909
And I walk around the back and I flip the switch to the generator back on so there's light
in the trailer for me to take those pictures.

777
00:54:21,442 --> 00:54:33,192
Yeah, you pull the start pole on it and the generator rips up and the lights start to
flicker on and there's full electricity going to it and you can flip the switches on.

778
00:54:33,192 --> 00:54:34,153
The whole thing's lit up.

779
00:54:34,153 --> 00:54:39,737
Even more disgusting than before as you're in the kitchenette still taking pictures of the
symbols.

780
00:54:39,737 --> 00:54:44,581
Are you going to the place where you found him in the dark as well?

781
00:54:44,644 --> 00:54:46,068
Yeah, definitely.

782
00:54:46,068 --> 00:54:50,378
And some pictures of the dead alien.

783
00:54:51,186 --> 00:54:58,762
when you flip on the light, you notice that the alien looks like it had been urinating or
defecating there as well.

784
00:54:58,762 --> 00:55:06,942
There's strange markings from its rear and that's presumably this weird formaldehyde smell
you've been picking up.

785
00:55:06,942 --> 00:55:08,114
Can you roll your sanity?

786
00:55:08,114 --> 00:55:10,461
If anything's gonna get me, it's gonna be that.

787
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:11,665
Okay, Mr.

788
00:55:11,665 --> 00:55:12,562
Beans.

789
00:55:12,562 --> 00:55:14,442
85.

790
00:55:15,334 --> 00:55:16,634
That's a fail.

791
00:55:16,634 --> 00:55:18,014
Yeah, 76.

792
00:55:18,334 --> 00:55:19,035
Okay.

793
00:55:19,035 --> 00:55:23,936
Are you going to project any loss onto bonds or are just gonna take it?

794
00:55:23,936 --> 00:55:27,381
I'll do it on my buns, yeah.

795
00:55:27,445 --> 00:55:28,847
Yeah, which bond?

796
00:55:29,379 --> 00:55:32,717
Probably my college mentor.

797
00:55:33,122 --> 00:55:33,483
Okay.

798
00:55:33,483 --> 00:55:37,148
Your college mentor who taught you forensics and how to pick locks.

799
00:55:37,148 --> 00:55:43,252
you take four off of your willpower and take four off of the bond score for that person.

800
00:55:43,573 --> 00:55:48,417
And you do not take any sanity loss from this by projecting it.

801
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:55,514
How does thinking of your mentor help you in this moment?

802
00:55:55,514 --> 00:55:57,945
He helps me in a lot of ways.

803
00:55:58,124 --> 00:56:00,537
I just had always looked up to him.

804
00:56:00,537 --> 00:56:04,390
I never had a close relationship with my father growing up.

805
00:56:04,390 --> 00:56:11,396
by the time I got to college, I had never had a real relationship with any man until I met
him.

806
00:56:11,396 --> 00:56:17,102
And he just was a great mentor to me and helped me through some interesting years of my
life.

807
00:56:17,102 --> 00:56:19,564
So yeah, I think about him a lot.

808
00:56:19,628 --> 00:56:22,098
especially in hard situations.

809
00:56:22,916 --> 00:56:34,697
You feel yourself getting overwhelmed by the sight, but that thought of your mentor and
him as a father figure grounds you and you get your pictures and are able to leave if

810
00:56:34,697 --> 00:56:36,210
that's what you're choosing to do.

811
00:56:36,210 --> 00:56:38,592
Definitely choosing to leave this place, yes.

812
00:56:38,592 --> 00:56:40,778
How are we cleaning up?

813
00:56:42,256 --> 00:56:42,898
Yeah.

814
00:56:42,898 --> 00:56:46,907
Is there maybe a spare gas can out by the generator?

815
00:56:46,984 --> 00:56:47,999
Go enroll me luck.

816
00:56:47,999 --> 00:56:50,172
46 lucky enough

817
00:56:50,175 --> 00:56:51,599
Yeah, you get out there.

818
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:56,441
It's dark, but you're able to find a half filled metal gas can.

819
00:56:56,441 --> 00:57:08,592
Yeah, I think a good half of the remainder is going on the gray and the rest is kind of
like a trail starting from the other farthest side of the house.

820
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:10,826
Yeah, what do you lighten it with?

821
00:57:10,826 --> 00:57:12,295
Flint Steel.

822
00:57:12,372 --> 00:57:14,710
Yeah, yeah, I mean go for it Ryan.

823
00:57:14,710 --> 00:57:17,497
You got the campin' chops, right?

824
00:57:18,227 --> 00:57:27,350
Yeah, you do have your ferro rod with you since you have a camping kit in the back of the
car and you have a knife as well you can strike it.

825
00:57:27,350 --> 00:57:28,753
All right, that's what I'm doing.

826
00:57:28,753 --> 00:57:41,852
Dell, you're pulling out your lighter and you see Ryan sit down by this gas and just like,
and then finally it takes and you see the trail ignite a little bit of a blue.

827
00:57:41,918 --> 00:57:47,136
leading the red flames and orange flames as it burns the gasoline and the vapors.

828
00:57:47,136 --> 00:57:51,202
And then you hear as it hits the pile of gas on the gray alien.

829
00:57:51,202 --> 00:57:56,549
And that whole room starts to immediately ignite with all the paper and trash everywhere.

830
00:57:56,549 --> 00:57:57,421
What's next?

831
00:57:57,421 --> 00:57:59,334
Boy, you are full of peculiarities.

832
00:57:59,334 --> 00:58:10,967
And I will reach down into the side of my sock and I'll pull out two cigarettes, the only
two that are in there, and I'll light them on the stream of fire and I'll hand one to Ryan

833
00:58:10,967 --> 00:58:14,621
and I'm just gonna take a deep drag as we walk on out of here.

834
00:58:15,079 --> 00:58:18,572
It's very clear I've never held a cigarette in my life.

835
00:58:18,572 --> 00:58:23,319
So I'm like holding it really strangely and not in a cool way.

836
00:58:23,319 --> 00:58:25,941
But I'm trying to pull it off, you know, to impress you.

837
00:58:25,941 --> 00:58:33,240
So I like take a big hit of it and then I'm just like coughing my brains out because like,
ugh, it's disgusting.

838
00:58:33,380 --> 00:58:39,748
Yeah, I mean, I was just going to say, right, like you don't lose any cool points from
that, right?

839
00:58:39,748 --> 00:58:42,470
Nor were there any to be gained, I guess.

840
00:58:42,470 --> 00:58:45,893
Like, it was just kind of like a given the day that we've had.

841
00:58:45,893 --> 00:58:50,918
Like, never has there been a 24 hour period quite like this.

842
00:58:50,918 --> 00:58:57,002
And if ever something called for a cigarette, like that's what this is for.

843
00:58:57,503 --> 00:59:02,587
Yeah, you are smoking your cigarette like a normal person, Del.

844
00:59:02,587 --> 00:59:03,867
Ryan is not.

845
00:59:03,867 --> 00:59:13,937
As you're doing this, you start to get more reliant on the cigarette and you finally have
it in that double hook grip where you're squeezing the butt so much you're barely getting

846
00:59:13,937 --> 00:59:18,034
any smoke from as your hands shakes and you're taking drags from it.

847
00:59:18,034 --> 00:59:20,402
Yeah, I think, um...

848
00:59:20,402 --> 00:59:30,922
maybe place a quick call on the phone and then I don't think there's anything but road for
us.

849
00:59:31,759 --> 00:59:33,502
calling Handler Butterfield.

850
00:59:33,502 --> 00:59:35,502
Yeah, hit that pager up.

851
00:59:36,455 --> 00:59:41,123
Yeah, you get the automated message that somebody will be calling you back at this number.

852
00:59:41,123 --> 00:59:46,453
And about 20 minutes later, you hear the ring of the car phone just answering.

853
00:59:46,453 --> 00:59:47,614
Who's talking?

854
00:59:48,063 --> 00:59:51,126
I are we well on our way then at this point?

855
00:59:51,126 --> 00:59:51,608
Yeah.

856
00:59:51,608 --> 01:00:03,110
I think I'm going to, unless I see Ryan reach for it, I'm gonna pick it up and just hand
it back to, hold it up by Finch's head and see what kind of gobbledygook comes out of his

857
01:00:03,110 --> 01:00:03,940
mouth.

858
01:00:04,599 --> 01:00:19,776
Yeah, Finch is muttering still and he's talking about walls and the strange nature of them
and how they seemingly stop us but with the right mindset you can move through walls.

859
01:00:19,776 --> 01:00:23,980
He's talking about God, gray angels, but.

860
01:00:24,634 --> 01:00:28,991
It seems like he's also starting to come out of this haze as well.

861
01:00:28,991 --> 01:00:35,290
It's getting a little more cogent at times, but that's what Handler Butterfield hears.

862
01:00:35,771 --> 01:00:38,702
You catch all that, there's going to be a test later.

863
01:00:39,182 --> 01:00:40,049
You

864
01:00:40,907 --> 01:00:44,305
Agent, who am I talking to?

865
01:00:44,305 --> 01:00:47,670
Well, I think you might have been talking to God earlier.

866
01:00:47,670 --> 01:00:48,792
that was Finch.

867
01:00:48,792 --> 01:00:49,673
He's secured.

868
01:00:49,673 --> 01:00:50,653
way.

869
01:00:50,653 --> 01:00:52,833
Okay, you've secured Finch.

870
01:00:53,393 --> 01:00:57,444
What is his issue right now?

871
01:00:57,444 --> 01:01:01,544
Boy, that's a long list.

872
01:01:01,544 --> 01:01:07,599
I think he's a bit intoxicated, but it's hard to say if that's gonna cure him of what ails
him.

873
01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:17,467
Okay, his uh background didn't strike me as the drug use type, but it's obviously, that
was wrong.

874
01:01:17,467 --> 01:01:19,489
So why am I talking to him?

875
01:01:20,162 --> 01:01:23,812
Well, I just thought you'd like to get a taste of what our day has been like.

876
01:01:23,812 --> 01:01:28,520
Okay, so it's been an interesting day from what you're saying.

877
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,132
It's 3 a.m.

878
01:01:31,034 --> 01:01:31,936
on the East Coast.

879
01:01:31,936 --> 01:01:33,309
Is there anything I can help you with?

880
01:01:33,309 --> 01:01:44,447
Well, I mean, I thought maybe we'd have a little party or something, but if that's not
quite your speed, then I guess Ryan could catch you up on anything that might be pertinent

881
01:01:44,447 --> 01:01:46,289
from the last day here.

882
01:01:47,620 --> 01:01:51,023
Agent Ryan, glad to hear you're still whole.

883
01:01:51,023 --> 01:01:52,585
Haven't heard from you in a while.

884
01:01:52,585 --> 01:01:55,088
What's Agent Sandusky going on about?

885
01:01:55,304 --> 01:01:57,667
Well, we have Arthur Fenton in our custody.

886
01:01:57,667 --> 01:02:02,913
As far as anything we've seen directly, everything has been destroyed here.

887
01:02:02,913 --> 01:02:11,122
So we found Arthur with Grey being tied up in his trailer, I guess, taking drugs to
communicate with it.

888
01:02:11,122 --> 01:02:14,714
He's clearly completely out of his mind at this moment.

889
01:02:15,351 --> 01:02:17,716
That all has been taken care of.

890
01:02:17,716 --> 01:02:23,766
And we were able to also find a mine where these things have been hiding out.

891
01:02:23,766 --> 01:02:26,229
Majestic clearly on the case already.

892
01:02:26,229 --> 01:02:29,883
We've also been able to destroy the mine as well.

893
01:02:29,883 --> 01:02:31,394
We.

894
01:02:31,394 --> 01:02:33,137
m

895
01:02:33,137 --> 01:02:35,586
technology in the mine, Agent?

896
01:02:36,513 --> 01:02:44,265
Not technology necessarily, but we did come in contact with them directly.

897
01:02:44,265 --> 01:02:44,908
Okay.

898
01:02:44,908 --> 01:02:49,248
There was evidence of former alien technology being there though.

899
01:02:49,854 --> 01:02:53,387
I can't quite pick out what Agent Dell is saying over the car phone.

900
01:02:53,387 --> 01:02:54,450
What was that?

901
01:02:54,450 --> 01:02:55,854
uh

902
01:02:56,002 --> 01:03:06,293
There looked to be uh former technology there that had been drug away at some point,
something very large, but we weren't able to tell when that happened or where it was

903
01:03:06,293 --> 01:03:07,093
taken.

904
01:03:07,898 --> 01:03:08,499
Okay.

905
01:03:08,499 --> 01:03:11,602
And any more news on the majestic front?

906
01:03:11,602 --> 01:03:24,362
Other than talking it to the local sheriff, apparently this is pretty common for them to
be hanging around in Jerome And we have come in contact with a couple of them and they are

907
01:03:24,362 --> 01:03:25,994
no longer alive.

908
01:03:25,994 --> 01:03:30,007
so beyond the first one at the hotel, have...

909
01:03:30,007 --> 01:03:32,246
One more out at the mine.

910
01:03:32,816 --> 01:03:37,028
Okay, so this mine was important to them and it seems like there's alien technology
missing.

911
01:03:37,028 --> 01:03:45,848
This is not adding up to an equation I like, but thank you for destroying the mine and the
communing with aliens bit.

912
01:03:45,848 --> 01:03:47,782
Is that also taken care of?

913
01:03:47,782 --> 01:03:54,820
Yes, I mean, we have Arthur in our backseat of our car at the moment, but everything else
has been destroyed.

914
01:03:55,795 --> 01:03:59,027
What's your intentions with Finch?

915
01:03:59,027 --> 01:04:08,477
other than just not knowing if there's more information that we might be able to get out
of him once whatever he's on has weared off, off.

916
01:04:08,808 --> 01:04:10,690
and after you interrogate Finch.

917
01:04:10,690 --> 01:04:16,464
I mean, we will take care of it like we have everything else, is my assumption.

918
01:04:16,464 --> 01:04:20,417
Reading you in, Ryan, was a boon to the agency.

919
01:04:20,417 --> 01:04:23,580
I appreciate your commitment to the mission.

920
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:35,272
Ensure that Finch is no longer able to post any of these things online, but please make
sure that it's done quietly and in a place that cannot be tracked back to you since you've

921
01:04:35,272 --> 01:04:38,269
already made a kerfuffle in Jerome.

922
01:04:38,269 --> 01:04:38,765
Will do.

923
01:04:38,765 --> 01:04:39,442
Thank you.

924
01:04:39,442 --> 01:04:40,457
Thank you for the update.

925
01:04:40,457 --> 01:04:43,660
I am going to get back to sleep unless there is something else.

926
01:04:43,660 --> 01:04:44,425
Nothing else.

927
01:04:44,425 --> 01:04:54,134
Well, I will book a flight in the morning back to Phoenix and hopefully see you in the
field office there unless you have another approach or escape from the area that is

928
01:04:54,134 --> 01:04:54,625
needed.

929
01:04:54,625 --> 01:04:55,508
Not at this time.

930
01:04:55,508 --> 01:04:56,273
She just hangs up.

931
01:04:56,273 --> 01:05:00,976
So he really said kerfuffle, just like it weren't a joke or nothing.

932
01:05:00,976 --> 01:05:02,173
That's what he said.

933
01:05:02,173 --> 01:05:04,278
I mean his name is Butterfield, so.

934
01:05:04,278 --> 01:05:07,316
He clearly has no understanding of what we've been through.

935
01:05:07,886 --> 01:05:08,320
Yeah.

936
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,224
fun.

937
01:05:09,334 --> 01:05:10,386
You

938
01:05:10,386 --> 01:05:10,819
Mmm.

939
01:05:10,819 --> 01:05:21,735
Yeah, look, I don't know how this normally goes, but I'm not sure that I'm interested in
being the one to extract this information from Finch.

940
01:05:22,176 --> 01:05:30,630
I'd kind of like to deliver him down there in person and then whatever they want to do
with him, they can.

941
01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:33,332
Unless you see it otherwise.

942
01:05:33,332 --> 01:05:39,261
I mean, that sounds okay to me in theory, but Butterfield did say that he wanted us to
take care of it.

943
01:05:39,261 --> 01:05:45,781
Butterfield wants a lot of things and I don't think he's used to not getting what he asks
for.

944
01:05:46,221 --> 01:05:47,872
Man needs to learn to compromise.

945
01:05:47,872 --> 01:05:49,423
Yeah, if you say so.

946
01:05:49,423 --> 01:05:50,358
I'm on your side.

947
01:05:50,358 --> 01:05:51,395
you roll me a drive?

948
01:05:51,395 --> 01:05:52,723
No, no good.

949
01:05:53,527 --> 01:05:58,287
Yeah, you're starting to slow down.

950
01:05:58,287 --> 01:06:02,547
In fact, you're nodding off a little bit at this point as you're driving.

951
01:06:03,427 --> 01:06:17,018
You don't wreck, but were you to continue to drive at this level of exhaustion, you would
either need some sort of stimulant or a break.

952
01:06:17,018 --> 01:06:17,433
Yeah.

953
01:06:17,433 --> 01:06:17,988
I mean,

954
01:06:17,988 --> 01:06:22,256
We're somewhere in the desert between Jerome and Phoenix at this point.

955
01:06:22,383 --> 01:06:23,786
Yep, just past Sedona.

956
01:06:23,786 --> 01:06:24,455
I mean

957
01:06:24,455 --> 01:06:28,727
You feel like we've shook anybody that might still be following after us.

958
01:06:28,727 --> 01:06:30,211
You think we can catch a wink.

959
01:06:30,211 --> 01:06:31,084
think we can.

960
01:06:31,084 --> 01:06:41,050
Yeah, I mean, I'm inclined to just pitch a little tent out by the side if we can drive off
the road just a little ways.

961
01:06:41,050 --> 01:06:48,139
Situate Arthur with his handcuffs between the headrest and maybe a bag over his head.

962
01:06:48,139 --> 01:06:48,997
Sounds good to me.

963
01:06:48,997 --> 01:06:51,889
you put Finch there, he's already asleep.

964
01:06:51,889 --> 01:07:00,647
He's been exhausted, who knows how long and what else he's been mixing with LSD to stay up
and experience whatever this great angel had to say to him.

965
01:07:00,647 --> 01:07:02,078
So he's passed out already.

966
01:07:02,078 --> 01:07:08,271
You're able to put a little piece of cloth in a bag form over his head.

967
01:07:08,419 --> 01:07:12,507
You're getting your tent set up and you're able to take a night's rest.

968
01:07:12,507 --> 01:07:17,626
while you're sleeping, the image of the trailer going up in smoke.

969
01:07:17,626 --> 01:07:20,982
fills you with a sense of control in this situation.

970
01:07:20,982 --> 01:07:32,526
And you feel bolstered by it and reflecting on how much you've covered up of this and how
much you're hiding from the general public because if they knew, even if your loved ones

971
01:07:32,526 --> 01:07:37,144
and bonds knew what you were doing out here, it would crush them and you are...

972
01:07:37,144 --> 01:07:44,142
bolstered by that and you add one sanity each back and you're able to feel a little better
about the world.

973
01:07:44,142 --> 01:07:46,802
you wake up with restored willpower also.

974
01:07:46,802 --> 01:07:47,514
And...

975
01:07:47,514 --> 01:07:49,835
Get some rolls here for Finch.

976
01:07:49,835 --> 01:07:59,676
Finch is still asleep, has not escaped or anything, but is in the car, still passed out,
some drool wetting the sack that you put over his head.

977
01:07:59,676 --> 01:08:01,344
man's waterboarding himself.

978
01:08:01,344 --> 01:08:02,322
Yeah, what's next?

979
01:08:02,322 --> 01:08:03,027
thing.

980
01:08:03,027 --> 01:08:13,286
If we're confident that he's subdued, then I'm inclined to simply find something to hide
him inside to escort him into the field office.

981
01:08:14,127 --> 01:08:20,632
Like a refrigerator box, an appliance box or something like that.

982
01:08:20,632 --> 01:08:25,636
Go dumpster diving and find something big that could carry him.

983
01:08:26,157 --> 01:08:31,372
Stuff a sock in his mouth and carry him in.

984
01:08:31,372 --> 01:08:39,485
Yeah, go ahead and give me search roles, both of you, as you're cruising around the
outskirts of Phoenix.

985
01:08:41,349 --> 01:08:42,289
What?

986
01:08:42,791 --> 01:08:43,585
Let's go.

987
01:08:43,585 --> 01:08:44,365
Nice.

988
01:08:44,365 --> 01:08:45,285
Yeah, 22.

989
01:08:45,285 --> 01:08:47,028
I guess that's a critical success too.

990
01:08:47,028 --> 01:08:49,371
Damn, look at you guys.

991
01:08:49,371 --> 01:08:57,401
you know that Kmart has got to have something around it and you go to the back and there's
a huge dumpster.

992
01:08:57,401 --> 01:08:58,343
They don't recycle.

993
01:08:58,343 --> 01:09:05,209
And you're able to dumpster dive a little bit and pull out a big screen TV box.

994
01:09:05,209 --> 01:09:10,014
know, flat screens now, they're thin boxes, but back then they were massive affairs.

995
01:09:10,014 --> 01:09:16,739
You cut it in half and reform it to almost look like a coffin and it's able to fit in the
vulval with the seats down.

996
01:09:16,739 --> 01:09:19,963
Finch is almost catatonic at this point.

997
01:09:19,963 --> 01:09:23,728
He's not saying much, not even really responding too much.

998
01:09:23,728 --> 01:09:25,461
No fight in him at all.

999
01:09:25,461 --> 01:09:26,189
Well, that's good.

1000
01:09:26,189 --> 01:09:27,229
One last thing.

1001
01:09:27,229 --> 01:09:28,302
Yeah.

1002
01:09:28,710 --> 01:09:30,840
So are you going straight to the field office?

1003
01:09:31,392 --> 01:09:32,266
Yeah, I reckon so.

1004
01:09:32,266 --> 01:09:34,477
Butterfield said he'd be there in the morning, right?

1005
01:09:34,477 --> 01:09:36,859
You pull into the parking garage.

1006
01:09:36,859 --> 01:09:41,181
It's like going back to elementary school after what you've been through.

1007
01:09:41,181 --> 01:09:43,241
It seems smaller there.

1008
01:09:43,862 --> 01:09:51,006
You have a broader experience of life and what it means to be involved in this program.

1009
01:09:51,006 --> 01:09:56,752
And you feel less like an alien there and more like a kaiju as you walk through that
place.

1010
01:09:56,752 --> 01:10:04,625
You have a sense of power, but also a sense of awe about how tiny a FBI field office could
feel to you and how alien it is.

1011
01:10:04,625 --> 01:10:08,171
You leave Finch in the car, I'm presuming, for now?

1012
01:10:08,171 --> 01:10:09,633
Or what are you doing?

1013
01:10:09,633 --> 01:10:12,399
we're delivering their new flat screen TV.

1014
01:10:12,929 --> 01:10:16,305
Okay, so both of your athletics carry this shit in.

1015
01:10:17,255 --> 01:10:18,375
Yeah, 14.

1016
01:10:18,375 --> 01:10:19,515
Let's go.

1017
01:10:19,521 --> 01:10:22,341
Not me, 48 out of 30.

1018
01:10:22,651 --> 01:10:26,091
you're able to still get it in.

1019
01:10:26,091 --> 01:10:30,771
Ryan, you drop your side a few times, you hear some groans in the box.

1020
01:10:30,951 --> 01:10:37,391
You come in through the garage and there's no front desk in this entrance.

1021
01:10:37,631 --> 01:10:40,851
You're just able to get back up to the office space you were.

1022
01:10:40,851 --> 01:10:42,551
It's a long conference table.

1023
01:10:42,551 --> 01:10:44,422
Just drop in the box on the conference table.

1024
01:10:44,422 --> 01:10:45,468
Yeah, I think so.

1025
01:10:45,468 --> 01:10:47,611
That's what the delivery instructions said.

1026
01:10:47,611 --> 01:10:49,436
Are we hauling out the old TV?

1027
01:10:50,097 --> 01:10:51,628
you put that on the table.

1028
01:10:51,628 --> 01:10:54,180
There's some like movement around in it.

1029
01:10:54,180 --> 01:10:57,062
No escape or anything.

1030
01:10:57,062 --> 01:11:00,185
Try like there's no again, no fight left in Finch.

1031
01:11:00,185 --> 01:11:10,415
And it's some hour or so before Butterfield shows up, he comes in looking quite tired and
disheveled and his shirt is a little untucked.

1032
01:11:10,415 --> 01:11:12,459
He's got some little bit of sweat.

1033
01:11:12,459 --> 01:11:15,796
on his button up and his tie looks disheveled.

1034
01:11:15,796 --> 01:11:18,121
He walks in and looks at the box.

1035
01:11:18,121 --> 01:11:21,386
He's like, agents, what the fuck is that?

1036
01:11:21,386 --> 01:11:22,492
you didn't order this?

1037
01:11:22,492 --> 01:11:25,074
Jesus Christ, is that one of the aliens?

1038
01:11:25,074 --> 01:11:26,718
One of the aliens.

1039
01:11:26,718 --> 01:11:28,552
No, this is an American citizen.

1040
01:11:28,552 --> 01:11:30,156
That's no way to talk about them.

1041
01:11:30,156 --> 01:11:36,946
Okay, I didn't mean illegal alien, meant extraterrestrial agent, but you brought Finch
here?

1042
01:11:37,921 --> 01:11:39,036
Sure is shootin'.

1043
01:11:39,036 --> 01:11:43,670
There wasn't anywhere in the desert you could have done this.

1044
01:11:43,670 --> 01:11:49,023
I mean, I've had about all my questions answered, but I figured you might have a few.

1045
01:11:49,023 --> 01:11:55,065
And I'm very uncomfortable because I do not like breaking the rules.

1046
01:11:55,065 --> 01:12:02,201
And I'm swaying back and forth next to Dell, just letting him do all the talking.

1047
01:12:02,201 --> 01:12:08,329
I came in here to congratulate you on an operation well done, but it seems like you did
not finish the op.

1048
01:12:08,329 --> 01:12:12,413
Agent Ryan, I believe we had a very clear conversation on what to do with this.

1049
01:12:12,413 --> 01:12:17,959
Now I'm not the type that likes to chew people out, but I am very close to losing my
patience.

1050
01:12:17,959 --> 01:12:23,561
I have no idea what to do with this guy or how to interrogate him.

1051
01:12:24,060 --> 01:12:25,901
What do you want me to do here?

1052
01:12:25,901 --> 01:12:28,063
I want you to bring in the professionals.

1053
01:12:28,063 --> 01:12:31,185
This ain't what I signed up for.

1054
01:12:31,185 --> 01:12:34,427
We did everything there was assigned to us.

1055
01:12:34,728 --> 01:12:41,425
I'm sure he's still got something of importance to tell, but I ain't gonna be the one to
get it out of him.

1056
01:12:41,425 --> 01:12:43,740
Del, you are a professional killer.

1057
01:12:43,740 --> 01:12:50,965
I have seen your record and I believe you've killed two majestic agents at this point and
you will not put this guy down.

1058
01:12:50,965 --> 01:12:55,727
Well, if you're not concerned about anything that he might know, that's never been an
issue.

1059
01:12:55,727 --> 01:13:01,008
It just seems uh unwise to leave that on the table.

1060
01:13:01,736 --> 01:13:05,661
Okay, Ryan, I'm disappointed.

1061
01:13:05,661 --> 01:13:14,011
I understand Agent Dell has a rocky past, but you have a clean bill of health and a
incredible record, which is why we read you in.

1062
01:13:14,011 --> 01:13:21,281
You are not meeting expectations of this operation by bringing somebody like this into
this field office, but.

1063
01:13:21,281 --> 01:13:25,210
I will humor you and get a team to interrogate him.

1064
01:13:25,210 --> 01:13:26,378
Is this gonna happen again?

1065
01:13:26,378 --> 01:13:31,920
I cannot promise that one way or the other.

1066
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:37,453
I'm assuming that you gave Dell to me as my partner for a reason.

1067
01:13:37,453 --> 01:13:39,655
Go ahead and roll push suede, plus 20.

1068
01:13:39,655 --> 01:13:40,972
Yep, 37.

1069
01:13:40,972 --> 01:13:41,789
He sighs.

1070
01:13:41,789 --> 01:13:47,765
Sure, I did partner you up for a reason because you're both really fucking good at what
you do

1071
01:13:48,166 --> 01:13:55,971
except for bringing liabilities into an FBI field office under surveillance by the rest of
the government.

1072
01:13:56,912 --> 01:14:10,157
I would have thought it more wise to do something different with him or maybe call me out
there or a team out there, but we're working with what we got at this point.

1073
01:14:10,618 --> 01:14:11,623
There is

1074
01:14:11,623 --> 01:14:15,586
a sunk cost already happening and I have to deal with that.

1075
01:14:15,586 --> 01:14:18,067
I am still disappointed in you both.

1076
01:14:18,067 --> 01:14:24,332
But beyond this, thank you for doing a great job and getting rid of so many variants in
the field.

1077
01:14:24,332 --> 01:14:30,617
And he pulls around a small sack that he had over his shoulder.

1078
01:14:30,619 --> 01:14:33,739
with just two giant stacks of $100 bills.

1079
01:14:33,739 --> 01:14:37,679
And he slams one on the table and then slams the other on the table.

1080
01:14:38,359 --> 01:14:40,799
I presume this will be enough.

1081
01:14:41,179 --> 01:14:43,550
It's 35,000 for each of you.

1082
01:14:43,550 --> 01:14:56,766
And I just take it and slide it over and put it in my fanny pack I say, apologies for any
kerfuffles that we've put you in based on the situation.

1083
01:14:57,170 --> 01:14:58,153
Roll luck again.

1084
01:14:58,153 --> 01:14:59,653
Got it 42.

1085
01:14:59,934 --> 01:15:02,553
He doesn't notice that you are making fun of him.

1086
01:15:02,553 --> 01:15:04,093
He nods.

1087
01:15:04,093 --> 01:15:07,265
I give doll like a little side eye when I say it, you know?

1088
01:15:07,265 --> 01:15:09,528
Yeah, he doesn't pick it up.

1089
01:15:09,528 --> 01:15:16,135
He says, well, agents, I have some data to collate and an interrogation to go under.

1090
01:15:16,135 --> 01:15:19,097
I believe you might have other materials for me.

1091
01:15:19,097 --> 01:15:21,769
You can leave them here as well.

1092
01:15:21,769 --> 01:15:29,437
But expect that you will be getting a call in a week or so from the agency for the next
operation.

1093
01:15:29,437 --> 01:15:30,706
Can I count on you both?

1094
01:15:30,706 --> 01:15:31,465
Yes, sir.

1095
01:15:31,465 --> 01:15:33,743
Yes, we are very reliable, sir.

1096
01:15:33,743 --> 01:15:37,243
in most things, 90 % there.

1097
01:15:37,243 --> 01:15:40,165
are we continuing on with Butterfield here?

1098
01:15:40,646 --> 01:15:42,528
Well, I wasn't intending to.

1099
01:15:42,528 --> 01:15:48,976
If we've got our own space, I was just gonna take a big whiff of the stack of hundred
dollar bills.

1100
01:15:48,976 --> 01:15:50,649
Smells like disappointment.

1101
01:15:50,649 --> 01:15:55,033
Yeah, you see that he has held a second stack away from you.

1102
01:15:55,033 --> 01:15:56,743
No, I'm just kidding.

1103
01:15:57,224 --> 01:15:58,165
This is about half.

1104
01:15:58,165 --> 01:15:59,385
just kidding.

1105
01:15:59,385 --> 01:16:03,007
Yeah, he exits the room.

1106
01:16:03,007 --> 01:16:04,748
You have a bunch of files.

1107
01:16:04,748 --> 01:16:07,069
You have this journal that you haven't read.

1108
01:16:07,069 --> 01:16:08,034
Are you turning that in?

1109
01:16:08,034 --> 01:16:10,862
Are you gonna do some research between ops yourself?

1110
01:16:10,862 --> 01:16:16,616
At this time, for Ryan, I don't think I see any reason to hang on to it.

1111
01:16:16,616 --> 01:16:19,500
So I would be inclined to hand it over.

1112
01:16:19,715 --> 01:16:20,461
What about you, Dell?

1113
01:16:20,461 --> 01:16:21,858
You gonna take the journal?

1114
01:16:22,183 --> 01:16:23,407
I'll hand everything over.

1115
01:16:23,407 --> 01:16:27,938
I mean, I'll take a look right here right now, but I don't think I'm taking it.

1116
01:16:28,038 --> 01:16:28,718
a little sanity.

1117
01:16:28,718 --> 01:16:29,618
I'm just kidding.

1118
01:16:29,892 --> 01:16:33,855
keep the pictures on my digital camera to myself, however.

1119
01:16:34,328 --> 01:16:36,280
Yeah, it's actually a film camera, yeah.

1120
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:37,960
you'll have to get it.

1121
01:16:38,621 --> 01:16:40,022
Disposable, you're sure.

1122
01:16:40,022 --> 01:16:40,443
Yeah.

1123
01:16:40,443 --> 01:16:41,664
Antiquated technology.

1124
01:16:41,664 --> 01:16:49,028
So, you guys open up this journal, you end up filling up a box of stuff with the things
you grabbed from the op.

1125
01:16:49,028 --> 01:17:00,878
The first entry, it just says, I have the visitor, a lot smaller than I expected, easier
to grab, did something to me, made me bleed, but was able to fight it off.

1126
01:17:00,878 --> 01:17:09,412
And the next entry, no way to connect, cannot communicate, but started to see colors
bleeding from the very air around him.

1127
01:17:09,412 --> 01:17:14,477
It's a thrumming, almost like my generator in my own skull, but it felt like a color.

1128
01:17:14,477 --> 01:17:18,841
It felt like orange for some reason.

1129
01:17:20,685 --> 01:17:23,849
wondering how I can enhance experience.

1130
01:17:23,849 --> 01:17:24,710
Next entry.

1131
01:17:24,710 --> 01:17:27,353
There's no time or date on any of these.

1132
01:17:27,353 --> 01:17:28,555
Came back to trailer.

1133
01:17:28,555 --> 01:17:32,040
Visitor seemed injured, hurt, tried to feed it.

1134
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:33,112
Nothing worked.

1135
01:17:33,112 --> 01:17:33,917
the next one.

1136
01:17:33,917 --> 01:17:35,367
using LSD.

1137
01:17:35,367 --> 01:17:39,951
The walls breathe, the colors, well, more like a dream now.

1138
01:17:39,971 --> 01:17:43,273
They're bleeding from the air all around me.

1139
01:17:43,674 --> 01:17:47,296
I thought I could hear it speaking to me.

1140
01:17:47,497 --> 01:17:52,224
It feels so small, my mind, like a teacup in a hurricane.

1141
01:17:52,224 --> 01:17:57,109
I saw more lights coming from the colors than before, but I can't hold onto it.

1142
01:17:57,109 --> 01:17:58,661
It keeps slipping away.

1143
01:17:58,661 --> 01:18:00,163
A little deeper this time.

1144
01:18:00,163 --> 01:18:03,767
I'm afraid there's a cold serpent in my gut.

1145
01:18:04,368 --> 01:18:06,703
And then there's a big space in the page.

1146
01:18:06,703 --> 01:18:08,956
Their thoughts are like living mathematics.

1147
01:18:08,956 --> 01:18:11,269
They're shifting, evolving, cold, perfect.

1148
01:18:11,269 --> 01:18:17,676
I saw journeys across silent voids, stars that looked like powdered glass in the distance.

1149
01:18:17,676 --> 01:18:19,317
There were other suns.

1150
01:18:19,317 --> 01:18:24,723
It's like a network of experience that I can't quite understand, but I can feel it.

1151
01:18:24,723 --> 01:18:27,006
And again, it comes through as colors.

1152
01:18:27,006 --> 01:18:28,261
I can't...

1153
01:18:28,261 --> 01:18:31,197
right what that means but that's how it feels.

1154
01:18:31,197 --> 01:18:34,323
But I'm starting to feel disengaged after this one.

1155
01:18:34,323 --> 01:18:42,535
Then the next one, it says, Star Brother, finally able to make sense of me and I am making
sense of it.

1156
01:18:42,535 --> 01:18:45,018
I'm trying to understand it more and more.

1157
01:18:45,018 --> 01:18:46,059
There's a big space.

1158
01:18:46,059 --> 01:18:52,985
Their abductions, their observations are an attempt to gauge the threat from us.

1159
01:18:52,985 --> 01:18:54,989
And they want to stop this.

1160
01:18:54,989 --> 01:18:56,320
They want to stop.

1161
01:18:56,748 --> 01:19:02,081
their true enemy, which is stealing their technology that has crashed over the ages on
earth.

1162
01:19:02,081 --> 01:19:03,561
They are trying to stop them.

1163
01:19:03,561 --> 01:19:07,143
The Star Brothers are also trying to warn us about them.

1164
01:19:07,143 --> 01:19:10,344
They cannot be trusted with the types of things they are finding.

1165
01:19:10,344 --> 01:19:12,185
The patterns are clearer now.

1166
01:19:12,185 --> 01:19:17,047
This drug is a lens, a bridge, icy connections, icy threads weaving through everything.

1167
01:19:17,047 --> 01:19:18,288
The Star Brothers weak.

1168
01:19:18,288 --> 01:19:20,869
And as it gets weaker and weaker and hurt,

1169
01:19:20,869 --> 01:19:24,751
more hurt, its mind touches mine with more clarity.

1170
01:19:25,011 --> 01:19:27,132
I am starting to give it pain.

1171
01:19:27,132 --> 01:19:30,036
I am electrocuting it during our sessions.

1172
01:19:30,036 --> 01:19:33,100
And in that pain, I have a clearer picture.

1173
01:19:33,100 --> 01:19:42,341
It was here to stop one of its ships from being taken, some of its technology from being
stolen, but it failed when I found it.

1174
01:19:42,341 --> 01:19:50,256
There is no alignment, just a fear that we will uncover how to use this technology.

1175
01:19:50,836 --> 01:19:58,852
There's a fear among all of them that if we were to use this technology, we would use it
to destroy them in the cosmos because we are not to be trusted.

1176
01:19:58,852 --> 01:20:07,442
And then that's when you get to the sketch of a ship, a bulbous looking flying saucer,
very classic from like 50s movies.

1177
01:20:07,442 --> 01:20:15,932
And the sketch on the back of that looks like a small rifle of sorts and has little spikes
from the sides of it.

1178
01:20:15,932 --> 01:20:19,957
And there's no annotation or anything, but

1179
01:20:19,957 --> 01:20:22,469
He must have got this vision from someone.

1180
01:20:26,196 --> 01:20:29,569
Both of you, as you've read this, go ahead and roll sanity for helplessness.

1181
01:20:29,569 --> 01:20:32,158
Okay, close but okay.

1182
01:20:32,692 --> 01:20:33,903
All right, Agent Ryan.

1183
01:20:33,903 --> 01:20:35,214
Oh, Sorry, wrong dice.

1184
01:20:35,214 --> 01:20:35,684
Sorry.

1185
01:20:35,684 --> 01:20:36,764
24, good.

1186
01:20:36,764 --> 01:20:37,684
24.

1187
01:20:38,627 --> 01:20:41,787
I rolled a 20 for some reason.

1188
01:20:41,787 --> 01:20:42,538
D20.

1189
01:20:42,538 --> 01:20:46,266
Yeah, you're able to hold it together, reading these drug addled.

1190
01:20:46,266 --> 01:20:51,092
entries, the rest are more done in symbols and colors smushed together.

1191
01:20:51,092 --> 01:21:00,002
So it's hard to, you can't really translate them and the handwriting becomes
indecipherable and a scrolling that trails off the pages at times.

1192
01:21:00,002 --> 01:21:02,675
So these are the only things you can pick out.

1193
01:21:02,675 --> 01:21:15,837
Well, I mean, we ain't had too many allies these last couple days, but, well, it seems
like them Greys may be more friend than we may have realized.

1194
01:21:15,837 --> 01:21:20,337
feeling a little bad, but it's good to have that information.

1195
01:21:20,337 --> 01:21:25,104
Yeah, I mean, if you'll recall, they fired first.

1196
01:21:25,104 --> 01:21:28,822
We've been fired first in every instance we've seen them.

1197
01:21:28,822 --> 01:21:29,578
Are you?

1198
01:21:29,578 --> 01:21:30,180
Every...

1199
01:21:30,180 --> 01:21:31,416
every instance?

1200
01:21:31,416 --> 01:21:33,786
Well look, the trailer was something different.

1201
01:21:33,786 --> 01:21:38,115
I can't stand to see a wounded animal in a trap like that.

1202
01:21:38,115 --> 01:21:40,478
And if you think there's any letting it go or...

1203
01:21:40,478 --> 01:21:46,048
nursing it back to health like Butterfield was mad we brought a man back.

1204
01:21:46,048 --> 01:21:49,256
I am not questioning our decisions.

1205
01:21:49,256 --> 01:21:51,793
just do feel a little bad.

1206
01:21:51,793 --> 01:21:52,810
Yeah, I mean...

1207
01:21:52,810 --> 01:21:53,823
Feel like it is.

1208
01:21:53,823 --> 01:21:56,294
good to understand what we're working with.

1209
01:21:56,294 --> 01:21:57,852
See if maybe we can't.

1210
01:21:57,852 --> 01:22:00,801
implore different tactics next time we meet.

1211
01:22:00,801 --> 01:22:02,313
Yes, agreed.

1212
01:22:03,298 --> 01:22:06,773
can learn as you go in any of these situations.

1213
01:22:06,773 --> 01:22:07,675
That's the job.

1214
01:22:07,675 --> 01:22:12,265
And with that, I think you are probably taking your hog back out, right, Del?

1215
01:22:12,265 --> 01:22:14,737
And you're getting on a flight, Agent Ryan?

1216
01:22:15,715 --> 01:22:22,420
Yeah, I need to go home and spend some time resting from this experience, yes.

1217
01:22:22,420 --> 01:22:27,179
Yeah, you're both going home $35,000 richer.
