WEBVTT
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:49.840
Nice.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:57.679
So, guys, let's do a quick recap of where we left off because it was a pretty explosive.
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.200
So we started um we started at the red tent inn, I believe.
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:15.280
We started at the place where Bertie and Tate were were originally staying.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.680
You you last episode opened with you guys in Creedmore's room, which had been torn apart.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.680
Oh, so that's the forest inn.
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.760
The forest inn is where you guys are staying now.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.719
The bush light.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.640
The bush light is where where um Creedmore was staying.
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.359
Oh right, okay.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:32.079
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.560
Sorry.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.000
See, there I go.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.560
Yes, you guys were at the bush light.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.599
You found Creedmore's room, you got let in.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.239
Yep, and then uh and then we discovered that there was a tripwire rigged to a shotgun.
00:01:46.640 --> 00:02:00.239
Um so Bertie disarmed that, and then while he was doing it, the window was open and he caught a glint through the window and suspected that it was, you know, a scope of some kind, so he got down.
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.319
Uh Tate went and checked it out, and sure enough, there was some dude on a bank, I think it was.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.000
On a taller office building.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.680
A taller office building.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:22.240
So we devised a plan where Tate would go up to the roof and provide overwatch, and Bertie would head over to the building to, you know, find this person and hopefully get some answers.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:43.599
So Bertie makes his way over there and uh walks up the stairwell, and when he gets to the top, he sees a dude standing by the ladder or the steep stairs leading to the roof and tries to get him to like put his hands up, and instead the dude shoots at him and winds up hitting Bertie in the shoulder.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.800
Through his coat pocket.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.080
Through his coat pocket, yep.
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.439
That sly dog, him.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.319
Well, Bertie fired twice at Bertie through the coat pocket, missed.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:53.840
Birdie shot at him, missed.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.319
The guy pulled the gun out and then shot Birdie.
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.479
Yep, and hit him in the shoulder, and then Bertie shot him through the stomach.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.280
Yep.
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.759
Pretty pretty pretty pretty gnarsty.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.319
Yep.
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:04.719
Yep.
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.520
Bertie is not a happy camper right now.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:21.680
Um while that happened, Tate Tate keeping an eye on our buddy on the roof, noticed some erratic movement as that guy got up, turned around, and trained a rifle on the access point to the roof.
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:30.159
Which at that point Tate took a non-lethal but severely damaging shot at the leg.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.639
And proceeded to blow his leg off.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:35.280
Apparently.
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.080
At the knee.
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.039
At the knee.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.400
Um so Bertie hears this shot, and then hears a dude screaming on the roof.
00:03:42.639 --> 00:04:03.199
So he goes up and you know, disarms him, and he realized too late that the guy had like chomped down, you know, had bit down on something, so he tried to shove a rag into his mouth to stop him, but uh the dude had already successfully chomped down on his poison pill, thus killing himself.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:14.800
Tate made his way over to where Bertie was up there after seeing Bertie on the rooftop and stuck a rag in Bertie's bullet wound of a shoulder.
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:15.360
Yep.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.439
And then uh Deputy um Calkins.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.279
Deputy Cockins showed up and is now on the roof.
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.040
And we pulled a note off of one of the guys.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:27.680
Yes.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:33.120
And the note was instructions on go to this roof, keep an eye on this room.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:42.639
And the last thing that was said was Tate saying, I think it's Sierra Tin to Deputy Hawkins.
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:44.399
Yes.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.519
Could you mute that?
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.639
Yep, sorry about that.
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.360
No, that's okay.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.120
Could you turn that up louder, actually?
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.000
Good sound effects.
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.680
Could you could you connect that to a wireless JBL and turn it up?
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.720
So, yes, Tate says, I think it's Sierritin.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.759
To which Cody responded, and that's where we'll end our episode.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.040
Oh I think Birdie was also very hopeful that the green gems do something to him.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.480
Birdie was hoping to he was trying to eat a green gem.
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.800
He wanted some stormlight, yep.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.839
Uh, how much damage did you take with that shot?
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.279
Oh, it was a six-pointer.
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.079
Ooh.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.040
That's almost like critical.
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.519
Yeah, it could have been better.
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.120
It could have been worse.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.720
We open our scene on the roof of this office building.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:57.360
There's a dead man with his leg missing on the ground, rifle to his side, leg short distance away.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.920
The blood pulsing out of the stump is now just a dribble.
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:21.519
The two agents, the marshal and the special agent, the marshal, deputy marshal, bleeding, but with his wounds stuffed, are talking to Deputy Cockins, who's just run up the stairwell.
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:23.839
What whoa whoa.
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.480
He's got his gun out at the ready.
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.360
Kind of a Han Solo-esque stance, as was common back in the day.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.480
What's going what's going on?
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.759
Thinking Sierra T has something going on here.
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:43.920
Sierra, how so?
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:53.600
These two individuals had hop in here real quick if you don't mind.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:07:04.160
Uh our buddy Creedmore, who's been helping us and working with us, was murdered over in uh oh man, what's the name of the town again?
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.519
Uh Answorth?
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.199
No, not Answorth.
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.800
Uh yeah.
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:16.000
Yeah, our buddy Creedmore was murdered last night, this morning.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.600
Uncertain exactly when.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.800
The journalist?
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:19.439
Yep.
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:20.560
Yeah, he was.
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.839
We found him over in uh hideout that the sheriff and some folks.
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:24.720
Are you okay?
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:25.600
What what happened there?
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.000
I took a took a round of the shoulder.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:28.879
I'll be fine.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.120
Hawkins leans up and looks at it.
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:32.160
That's pretty bad.
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.680
That's the sp okay.
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:34.000
Yeah.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.040
But you're okay?
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.279
Well, I mean, uh I'll be getting to a doctor here shortly, but uh to give you a quick rundown.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.399
Uh journalist was killed.
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.560
Uh so we came back here, moved where we were staying.
00:07:48.720 --> 00:08:02.480
We went over to the we went to the bushlight inn where Creedmore was staying, and found his room all ransacked, and somebody had rigged a shotgun as a tripwire to catch anybody going in there to take a peek.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:20.879
While we were in there, while we were in there, goddammit, uh saw a glint out of the window and had uh had Tate over here take a peek with his long gun, and sure enough, there was a fella up on this roof looking at us with a scope.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:31.439
So Tate went up to the roof to keep an overwatch position while I went to this building here to go confront the fella on the roof.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:38.080
I didn't know that there was gonna be a guy inside the building at the base of the stairs down there that you ran into.
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.559
He's the one that put the hole in me.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.799
And uh I'm the one who put the hole in him.
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.440
This one up here, the leg.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.159
Well, that shot didn't kill him.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.720
He bit on something, had a poison out of him.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.120
I don't imagine he would have lived much longer.
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:05.039
Probably not, but I mean I could have tourniqueted the leg and got some maybe got some answers out of him.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.639
But they both passed before we could question.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.840
They had this letter on them.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.279
Hold on a second.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.240
Uh, Agent Clay, you made that shot?
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.440
Someone had to.
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.600
He nods with his eyebrows raised.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:22.480
Woo.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:25.120
A note?
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.080
You have a note?
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.600
We found a note on him.
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:28.240
It's basic.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:28.879
Here you go.
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:29.519
Instructions.
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.759
It's basic instructions for them.
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.360
Well, I'll get some of the guys to clean this up.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.200
Let's give you all the safety.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.960
Have clean them up.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.600
Uh yeah.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:55.679
Tate wants to uh pull the note out that was on Creedmore.
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.919
You recognize his handwriting at all?
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.840
Um hard to say.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.200
It's not really my forte.
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.519
You got anything handwritten by the sheriff at the department?
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.879
Um, yeah, I sure, yeah, I'm sure I do.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.279
What's the chance you could get us a piece of that just to cross-reference?
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.919
Well, why don't we get back to the sheriff the office?
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.159
Well, that sounds great, but maybe a doctor first.
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.919
Yeah, I need a doctor.
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.960
You know of one in town that we can trust?
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.080
Yeah, there's a few.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.799
Um here, I'll I'll take you there.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:35.600
Okay.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.720
Bertie's gonna painfully reload his pistol.
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000
Uh I'll take that, Bernie.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:48.720
Yeah, if you could.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.600
Kate will take and reload it for him.
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.200
Thank you.
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.799
You know, maybe you should think of getting one with the mag that slides in the bottom like this.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.879
Shows his pistol.
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.919
K chunk kidding.
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.399
There's something something comforting and reliable about a wheel gun.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.919
I got a feeling this one will do write its own name in history.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.840
Yeah, well, just wait, wait until it jams up here.
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.559
You want it so bad to say, I feel like this is gonna win a world war.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.919
I was trying to think of how do I phrase that without being like corny.
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.480
Yeah.
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.320
Too too jokey.
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.679
Uh in universe.
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.440
Yeah, that was a good in universe.
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.879
Uh okay.
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:41.279
Uh Deputy Cockins gestures for the guys to follow.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.360
He brings them to a doctor.
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:49.039
It's a small kind of clinic setup, slow.
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.559
Doctor takes a look at Bertie.
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:59.759
Very painfully, he digs around to make sure there's nothing left of the wound.
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.840
The bullet went out the back.
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:07.679
Uh, but he digs around just a little bit without you know traumatizing the tissue to make sure it's okay.
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.120
Uh Tate hands Bertie his flask during this.
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.320
He does his best to sanitize it, some alcohol.
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.000
How would you treat a wound like that?
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.919
Do you do you stuff it and then or do would you just like sew it short?
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.000
At a minimum, you're gonna sew it up.
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:30.799
You'd stitch it.
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:40.480
Um, and depending on, you know, if it's just meat, like, you know, um nowadays I think they have stuff that they can stuff it with, maybe, but uh yeah.
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.720
Um I I don't know that much about it.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.600
Uh okay.
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.200
It would stitch and wrap.
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.480
That that's kind of what I figured.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:46.799
Okay.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.840
I didn't want to sound like an idiot, but or cut the arm off.
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.519
It is 1912.
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.759
So the doctor grabs a saw.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.919
No! Bite the stick.
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.120
What are you gonna saw?
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.080
Through my collarbone?
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:08.799
The doctor then goes through the process of sewing the wound shut on both ends.
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.559
But Bertie will need to sew his shirt back together.
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.679
I'm sure there's a service somewhere in town for that.
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.639
Then he wraps it with some bandages, gives him some pills for the pain.
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:28.960
Birdie pays him accordingly, and he walks out, gaining two hit points right off the bat.
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.360
He gave you some cocaine for the pain.
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:34.399
Very possible.
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.840
Um, either that or either that or um uh basically heroin.
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:48.399
If Birdie, if Bertie takes one of those pills, everything is minus 10 except for like his occult mythos or something.
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.960
That's his occult mythos, yeah, his plus 20.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:51.279
Yeah.
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.919
I can uh everything's connected, man.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.200
I can see it.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.639
Yeah, I worked for the CIA since I was five years old.
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.320
What the hell's that even?
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:01.600
Okay.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.320
Uh and we'll kind of fast forward through some stuff.
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.519
Cawkins meets up with some people at the station.
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.919
He pulls a few guys aside, chats with them.
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:21.759
They look around kind of nervously, look at you guys, chat a little bit more, and then they make their way toward the building.
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:27.679
I don't know about you, but I could uh probably use a bit of shut eye.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.919
Why don't you pop one of those pills?
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:38.799
We go have a chat with these folk and figure out a way to sleep where we're probably not alone.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.639
That's not a bad idea.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.720
Plus, I want to cross-reference this with some of the sheriff's handwriting.
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.840
Shit, did we leave the dynamite on the on the the wagon?
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:50.480
No.
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:51.679
That that's all been moved.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.080
Okay.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.919
We we moved that all to the forest.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.320
You could do that in character because he's lost some blood and shit.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.879
No, we're we're good, Bertie.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:01.440
Okay.
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.200
Take some for the pain and have a seat and let me chat up with them.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.440
Alright, I'll be over, I'll be over here.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.519
Do you want me to leave the room?
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.799
I mean, Bertie's gonna be kind of out of commission for a while.
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.720
I mean, I'll assume that there's you can stay benches at the sheriff's department.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.799
Super comfortable.
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:21.840
Very, yeah.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.399
Wood.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:31.279
Well, if you pop one of those pills, they will be they're they're wood planks that are like just the right distance apart where it's like you can sit on them, but they're uncomfortable.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.399
Hell yeah.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.039
Uh Bertie is laying down on them.
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.679
Okay.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.919
One of the deputies brings him a pillow from one of the cells.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.799
Shit, you guys got cots in there, don't you?
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.399
Yeah.
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.559
Don't lock me in.
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.919
Uh sure.
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.879
Uh Bertie's gonna go take a nap in the in the cell.
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.240
The deputy looks over at Copkins and Copkins nods.
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.159
Bertie walks into the cell, lays down.
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.279
Meanwhile, and with an earshot.
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.559
You said you wanted you said you wanted some papers, right?
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.240
Um stuff with his writing.
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.559
Who are we working with here, Calkins?
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.840
Uh, that's Benjamin Knowlton and Matthias uh Brissick.
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.399
Tate will shake their hands.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.120
Hey, where's the meeting?
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.360
Trust and ears or what?
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:26.960
Hmm?
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.960
Trust in ears or what?
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.440
He nods.
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.879
They're good.
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.080
Let's check this with some of the sheriff's handwriting here.
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.679
Conkins opens up a drawer, pulls out a folder.
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.519
It's reports.
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.440
All of them have some notes and some and a signature.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:17:03.279
He flips through them until he finds one signed by the sheriff, puts that on the table, flips through some more, finds another, and he builds a small stack with the sheriff's handwriting, notes and signature.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.519
He hands uh he slides that across the desk toward Clay.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:14.640
Tate will start to cross-reference it, going through the papers, setting them next to the note, looking for similarities in the handwriting.
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.200
Does he have any like a like a linguistic skill or something like that?
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.440
I'm sure he does.
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.960
He's a pretty educated guy.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:39.759
I think that would be that might be Spot Hidden might be the one to govern that because I don't see any um I don't see anything else that would really apply to this.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.359
Can I see the sheet?
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.160
Yeah, of course.
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.079
Maybe library use?
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.039
No, that's like how to navigate a library.
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.279
Yeah, that's like Dewey Decimal, right?
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.799
Do you do you find the right book?
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:54.960
I mean, Bertie has a high library because he spent a lot of time in libraries.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.480
Because he's a smarty pants.
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.519
Well, and he's also been investigating the occult on his own for a while.
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.440
Don't tell me.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.519
Didn't we have that conversation?
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.640
Uh probably.
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:08.799
Actually, no, I don't think we did.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.079
Scratch that from the record.
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.079
I did think that you said on one of the train rides that you've been looking into it.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.200
But I don't think we got too much further than that.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.680
Hey, can you try that up, please?
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.200
That actually that certifiably doesn't show up in the recording.
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:24.000
I know.
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:26.960
The audience is like, what are they talking about?
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:27.839
What doesn't show up?
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.319
For the listening audience, and this will probably get cut anyway.
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.799
We're looking for like a good relevant skill.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.200
I thought there was like a linguistic skill.
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:40.880
Um language own, but that's just your education.
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.359
Yeah, I guess just do uh education halved.
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.279
Education hard.
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.559
Thank you.
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.240
38 under education, 70 half to 35.
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.079
So 38 over 35.
00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:58.640
Okay.
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.119
It's hard to tell.
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:12.799
The the handwriting in is is similar, but it but it's really hard to put any kind of of a like a definitive answer on yes, this is that person.
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.799
Um and then you know, Clay kind of looks over at some of the other documents that are there.
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.079
Um it's it's hard to tell.
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:22.960
He's not sure.
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:27.279
I have these guys, or at least Cokins, helping me do it, right?
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.000
Could I roll with advantage, or should they roll?
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.759
Brissick looks over.
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.319
I don't think that's the same.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.160
I I don't know.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.839
I mean, look at the eye right there.
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.440
Tate looks at the two different eyes.
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.400
He thinks they look kind of similar.
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.920
I mean, that's obviously a different person.
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.000
You really think so?
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:05.519
No.
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:07.599
No, because look at the T.
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.200
Look at the way he crosses the T.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.799
That's what I was thinking.
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:16.000
That I don't know, that looks Nolton.
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.039
I don't know, guys.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.079
Doesn't look that similar to me.
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.160
Let me get it, let me get a look at that real quick.
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.240
Can you hobble over?
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.160
You need us to come brandy bring it to you.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.640
I'd prefer the ladder, if you don't mind.
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.680
Brusick, you mind running this over?
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.880
Uh yeah, that's fine.
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:44.319
Uh Birdie rolled a 28 under 73, so that is a success.
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:53.759
Brusick brings the papers in the relevant papers into the uh cell that Birdie's in.
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.680
Birdie takes a look at him.
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.559
He's pretty sure this is the same person.
00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.920
All right.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:06.400
Guys, what you gotta remember is that, you know, there's the commonalities.
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.799
Do you think they're the same or different, Bertie?
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:10.079
I think they're the same.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.359
That's one and the same.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.680
This uh I'd uh bet my unwounded shoulder that this here's the right into your sheriff.
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:19.519
What what was his stat?
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.240
Uh 28 under 73.
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.640
So 28 times two is 56 under 73.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.920
Sure, that's a way to do it.
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:30.559
Yeah.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.200
Or right.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.039
73 divided by two is over 28.
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:36.079
36 and a half.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.319
Okay, so yeah, yeah, you passed, yeah.
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:39.599
Because it was a hard roll.
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:40.799
Yes, sir.
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.759
I think that settles it then.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:44.559
Yeah.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:53.039
You know where we uh I mean, and he was also found dead in the sheriff's hideout over there in Easton.
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.680
The sheriff has a hideout in Easton?
00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.359
That's correct.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.640
I don't think I don't know about that.
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.960
Yeah, I don't think that's something he'd go out of his way to share with you guys.
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.759
You know, hideouts being what they are.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.880
He wasn't the only one that used it, I'm pretty sure.
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:18.000
I tell you it wasn't used much, but the door opens.
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.880
And in walks a pretty tall guy.
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.839
A man.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.880
He's somewhat muscular, but got a bit of a belly.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.279
He's wearing a hat.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.640
The light behind him shadows his features, but he looks intimidating.
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.039
Now what do we have going on in here?
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.599
Do I recognize the pang of the voice?
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:44.240
No.
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.839
I heard people were calling for me.
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.680
Something about a shootout?
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:56.960
Oh, uh sheriff.
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.039
Yeah, uh, that that's all taken care of now.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.599
Yeah, we we got it covered.
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.440
Hey, a couple of fellows were trying to take care of these agents.
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.480
Yeah, it was a shooting.
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.720
They it's uh one of them's injured here.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.920
It's we got it.
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.359
We'll file the report.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:23.359
Bertie's hand is resting on the the grip of his gun.
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.759
The man walks up to special agent Tate Clay.
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.240
Bertie can hear all of this.
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:40.559
The second he heard a voice that wasn't familiar, Tate's hand was on his 1911 in his shoulder holster.
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.400
Now who might you be?
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.559
I figure one introduces himself first.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.799
Crumpling the note and putting it into his pocket with his other hand.
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:58.640
Call me Sheriff Orson.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:04.880
Did you say Orson?
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.720
Yeah.
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.480
You're so lame.
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:09.519
That's his name.
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:11.200
That's been his name the whole time.
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.519
Why is Orson lame?
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:16.240
And we've struck a chord.
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.559
Cody is sensitive about the names he chooses.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.559
Yeah, Orson's cool, but Orson?
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.359
Come on.
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:22.000
Orson.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.799
Is it is it Philip Orson?
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.359
Uh Orson Wells, actually.
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:28.880
His first name's Orson?
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:29.759
No, no, no.
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:31.039
It's Jeffrey Orson.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.000
You got a brother up in Panama?
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:36.480
Panama.
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.559
No, I don't.
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.680
Why do you ask about Panama?
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.559
I just thought I've heard that name before.
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:49.680
Has he?
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.799
Fuck no.
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.519
Oh.
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.000
I thought that I thought there was a connection with like his military service.
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:56.640
No.
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.680
Special Agent Clay.
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.039
He reaches out a hand with a smile.
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.440
Or a genuine smile.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:13.359
Nice to meet you.
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.680
Tate will reciprocate.
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:20.880
Always glad to have the efforts of the federal government where we need it.
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.759
I think you're one of the first people I've heard say that.
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:29.119
Well, I've had the fortune of seeing its value.
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.000
Now, what brings you out this uh this way?
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:33.119
I heard there was another one.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.240
Where's your partner?
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.480
And Clay is.
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.880
This guy seems like a really genuinely good guy.
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:44.960
Yeah, but Clay hates this guy.
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.400
Roll like a psychology check or something.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.480
Like a like or like a deceit.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.119
You know, are you trying to hide the fact that you hate this guy?
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:54.720
Well, he's acting.
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:56.720
Putting on a face.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.519
Which is a 29 under 31 psychology.
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.799
Uh Bertie's just gonna go.
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.359
Present and accounted for.
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.039
The sheriff will walk over to the cell and look in.
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:20.880
Well, you don't look very good.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.440
You should see the other guy.
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:28.880
Turns out some of your gang members that you don't police around here don't like us.
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.200
Well, we police as well as we can.
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.559
We're limited on supplies, men, forces.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:39.039
You'd be shocked what these savages will try.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:41.519
You push them a little too hard.
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.480
I've seen some savagery in my life.
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.839
As have I.
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:54.640
Well, gentlemen, is there anything I can help with?
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.720
Wound overnight?
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.240
I don't think so.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:05.920
Would that it were something like that existed?
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.359
Well, the world probably be a better place, wouldn't it, Sheriff?
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:10.480
Wouldn't it?
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.960
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I I could go for a second pillow if one of you wanted to be so kind.
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.839
Sheriff Orson looks over at Knowl, nods.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.039
Knowlton quickly runs and takes care of it.
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.559
Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.640
I have important things to attend to.
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:44.240
Uh, make sure those files get all covered correctly.
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.559
I'll take a look at them in a day or two.
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.519
Uh well, you gentlemen, have a very lovely rest of your day.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.319
Heal up.
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.759
Hey, Sheriff, super quick question before you take off.
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.200
Uh just curious.
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:10.480
You know, maybe it's the blood loss or the happy pills the dog gave me, but I can't help but think in a town of what are we sitting in here, roughly 3,000 folks, something like that?
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.200
Yeah, it's been a while since I chewed something like that.
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:25.920
Alright, so in a town of 3,000, we got uh a couple bodies up on the roof of that, their office building, and a bleeding federal agent.
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:28.960
And you got somewhere else to be?
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:31.119
Seems odd.
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:39.200
Just things to look into, places to be, people to speak to.
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:43.839
You know, this isn't the first thing going on, it's not the oldest thing.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:49.839
Important, yes, but I have other things to look into.
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:51.599
We'll be in touch.
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.880
Where uh where are you staying if I need to get in touch with you?
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.000
I mean, right here for the foreseeable future, I think.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.519
You don't mind?
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.559
You know, you guys are staying here.
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:09.920
I mean, it looks like pretty probably best we get you somewhere with a real doctor here soon.
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:11.920
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.680
Catch a train down to Minneapolis or something.
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.799
We could do that.
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.400
It's quite the ride.
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:20.880
You got something closer?
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:22.480
Yeah.
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.200
Looking for doctors, that'd be the place to go.
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.160
Maybe St.
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:27.119
Cloud.
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.079
Could be.
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:29.440
Go the other way.
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.799
Well, far go.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:32.799
Yeah, could do that.
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.920
Anyway, I'll be off.
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.440
We'll be in touch, like I said.
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.119
Oh, Rochester might be good.
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:40.240
That's farther.
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.079
He turns and starts walking.
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.519
That's farther.
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.039
Tate wants to.
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.119
Well, there's there's two things.
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.960
There's one I've been meaning to ask for a while.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.720
Because he's been thinking about it.
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:57.279
Creamore's wound and our buddy in the woods' wound.
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.319
Different.
00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:58.799
Okay.
00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.920
Obviously different.
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.279
You don't even got to roll for that.
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:02.960
Back to my question.
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:09.039
Was the sheriff wearing a knife?
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.119
Not one that he saw.
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:11.680
Okay.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.759
The sheriff walks out.
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:25.119
While he's exiting, walking through the door, he takes one last look behind him at Clay.
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:27.519
And there's something in his eyes.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.119
Hard to put a word to it.
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.359
And then he walks out.
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:37.519
How tall is this building?
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.480
The building?
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:38.960
Yeah.
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.400
Uh it's it's just a one-story, it's not very big.
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:42.960
Okay.
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:45.519
Peaked roof, flat roof.
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.880
It's got a little pitch to it, just a little, you know?
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.119
Like uh, you know, a roofer could probably do it and not be, you know, not too worried.
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.640
Tate's gonna watch him leave through the window.
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:04.640
He walks right, takes a corner, blends into the crowd.
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:06.960
He doesn't walk wrong.
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:08.880
He walks right.
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.160
Not wrong.
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.319
What do you want to do, Bertie?
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.200
That wasn't really Josh, you know.
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:22.079
When I said I wanted to rest up a bit, you know, feeling better, but that's probably the pills talking.
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.400
Oh, Bertie took a pill?
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.279
Yeah.
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:27.680
From the doctor.
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.480
Okay.
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.240
Uh keep talking.
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:33.920
So yeah.
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:40.640
Obviously, I don't really want to stay where he knows we're at.
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.559
Well, no shit, Bertie.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:49.680
Well, we could always go back to where we currently are.
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:51.839
I think that's her best button.
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.160
Hopefully see a friendly face along the way.
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.359
Deputy Copkins.
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.240
Uh, real quick, Bertie.
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:02.880
Yes.
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:11.599
You get uh I'll tell you later.
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.400
I'll tell you later.
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.119
I'm just reading what uh the pills do to you.
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:15.839
Got it.
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.000
Um Bertie is going to sit up.
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.799
Tate will help Bertie up.
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:26.480
All right.
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.440
Deputy Copkins.
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.720
Yeah.
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:39.759
Pretty sure you're uh Sheriff ain't the man he wants to be.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.480
I know.
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:42.000
Convinced.
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.039
He's playing with his fingers down toward his waist.
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.720
He looks over at the other two deputies.
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:57.519
They all nod.
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:00.319
Yeah.
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:01.920
Yeah.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:02.799
Well.
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.559
Be careful.
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:11.119
I'm assuming the lot of y'all actually joined the force because you wanna do some good around here.
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:18.079
I grew up around here, so yeah, well, me too.
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:20.160
Might be time for a new sheriff.
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:28.720
And by golly, I'm pretty sure our Second Amendment says something about unjust government or officials.
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.119
He nods.
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.359
Well.
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.119
I don't know.
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:46.400
I don't know where to start, I guess.
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.119
I mean uh a note that matches a note.
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.079
It's not a good well, I guess we've all seen stuff.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.880
As in.
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:02.559
Hey, it's uh it's not something that you gotta be hasty about.
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:05.119
Just stay on guard, okay?
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.160
How about this?
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.519
The the three of us, and he points toward the other deputies.
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:11.519
We'll put together a case.
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:18.159
Let's meet up tomorrow and see what we can do.
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.000
That sounds like a plan.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.320
One of the better ones, too.
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:27.199
Well, we'll get out of your hair.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:29.280
Thanks for the accommodations.
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.880
The two leave.
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:34.960
Where are they going?
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.320
Um, I think the forest inn.
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.079
You know, I think we should maybe not head right there.
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:43.840
Yeah, probably uh.
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:47.920
Let's go to the red tent first.
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.079
Or make it look like we are, and then cut over.
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:53.199
We could step down.
00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:04.480
Yeah, we could step into the red tent, maybe uh get a bite, and then uh see about getting out of there all unannounced.
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:14.000
Alright, so yeah, we're gonna head to the red tent in.
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:25.199
And I think when we get there, Tate's gonna go to that corner down the alleyway where he had his conversation with the faceless man.
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.480
It's the afternoon.
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:33.519
Tate feels a grumble in his stomach.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:34.480
He's getting a little hungry.
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:36.239
Birdie's up in his room by now, right?
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.159
Or his old room, his ex-room.
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.239
Birdie didn't go to his room.
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:41.280
Oh, where is he?
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:44.480
He's in the main area hoping that they serve lunch.
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:51.199
Uh they have some slices of bread with some cheese.
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.719
They only do brunch.
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:56.800
They they don't do um that that's not a meal service throughout the day.
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:00.239
No, no, they they have a nice big breakfast and then that's about it.
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.880
The rest of the day's kind of like snackables.
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:09.039
Uh hey, friend, you wouldn't happen to have a pot of Joe on, would you?
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:09.679
No.
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.960
Huh.
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:13.199
It's that same guy.
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.440
Bertie's gonna pull out a dime.
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.519
Any way to make that change?
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:19.679
I don't accept bribes.
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.320
I wouldn't call it a bribe, I'd call it a payment.
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:26.800
But if if this is a line that you can't cross, I understand.
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.440
He looks down at the dime.
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:31.679
I will make you a cup.
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.800
Thank you.
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:35.199
Meanwhile.
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:37.440
What?
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:40.000
Is a man a principle?
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.320
No, the the concierge.
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:44.719
I will make you a cup.
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.440
Well, it's the same guy that brought him the cup that was too full and too hot before.
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.480
Yeah.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.599
Do you remember that guy?
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:52.880
Hell yeah, I do.
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.159
Yeah.
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:00.800
Uh meanwhile, um do you want to step out for like a minute, too?
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:01.599
Sure.
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:10.480
So um So Tate's going around the building to the alley where he had the conversation with the faceless man.
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.559
The sun is not setting, but it's on the horizon.
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:23.280
Peeking through the tops of the trees in the distance, through some of the alleyways, the windows, etc.
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.519
He stands there for a minute.
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.719
Wind blows, birds chirp, people walk past.
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:38.639
What is he doing?
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.760
Clay.
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.320
Yeah.
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:48.000
Tate's going down the alleyway where he met the shadowy figure, Creedmoor's uh friend.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.679
Guy in the mask.
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:51.119
With the eyes.
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:52.000
Yeah.
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.960
And that's where he leaves that note.
00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:04.639
And then he yeah, and then he scratches something or writes something in somewhere, the Roman numeral for two, the divisio symbol, and then he's gonna X that out.
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.920
And then underneath that he'll be he just writes moved.
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:08.960
Okay.
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:24.639
And it's not like in the most obvious spot, but he leaves that, and then he's gonna make his way to where he met his alleged friend.
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:26.079
The faceless friend.
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.400
The faceless friend.
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.159
Okay, what's he do when he gets there?
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:38.800
When he gets there, he's gonna find something to sit on and take a seat.
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:43.119
Is he thinking anything, saying anything?
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:50.400
No, this would be a pretty good time if you could give us a hand with something.
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:58.960
After a minute passes, birds chirping.
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:04.159
He can hear people walking down the street, which is just a bit behind him.
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:13.199
Some wind blows, clouds pass overhead, the sun is not setting, but it's approaching the horizon.
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:18.239
It's light penetrating through the tops of trees and through buildings.
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:24.400
He smells burnt cigarettes.
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.360
And he feels a presence.
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:40.320
I take it you and that black mass is something at the middle of sea or ten share something in common.
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:45.360
Some way.
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:27.440
Give him all the pain he deserves.
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.719
That's not for me.
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.679
Is there anything you can do to just help us in general?
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:42.960
We're uh I watch.
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.599
I can tell.
00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:01.199
So you can keep an eye out for us against anything.
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.480
Like we tried to kill my buddy.
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:12.960
You keep an eye out over any of the living.
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.920
I watched your friend.
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:26.480
Didn't say anything to the man.
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:35.760
That's uh that's a blessing to hear.
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.280
You recognize, can you tell me anything about the man?
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:52.400
But you already know that.
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:58.239
Appreciate you confirming my beliefs.
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:09.599
I know.
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:17.039
I will do what I can.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:20.239
Your help's appreciated.
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:22.400
And he's gone.
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:26.480
We'll take care of the wrong as soon as we can.
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:31.840
Tate will get up and go to find Burning.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.880
Your friend Cody Zenner.
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:09.760
Uh, here today on a disgustingly hot and humid fucking uh evening all day has been disgusting.
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:12.719
I, you know, I'm I'm I'm a northerner, okay?
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:14.400
I'm built for the cold.
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:17.360
I'm built for the snow, the ice.
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:28.639
I'm not built for uh nigh on a hundred degree fucking uh degrees Fahrenheit with uh with humidity that you could like like wash a car with.
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:29.199
Okay.
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:30.400
It's horrific.
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:31.519
It's so horrific.
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.159
Where where I work, I was in a meeting today.
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:34.639
This is true.
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:45.119
I was in a meeting today, and um all of a sudden one of the one of the employees just like bursts into the fucking room and is is like, oh, such and such is passed out.
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:45.920
And we're all like, what?
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:48.239
We all sprint out into the fucking shop.
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:54.880
And uh yeah, one of the one of the guys had literally was literally fucking face down on the on the pavement.
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.480
Um and yeah, he he'd passed out from from the heat.
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.119
You know, we called uh Dine one one and whatever.
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:03.039
And we, you know, gave him water and he was fine.
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:16.400
But still, it's like, you know, to all you folks out there that are exposed to the heat, like, drink some fucking water, take a break, uh, get a fan, hop in the AC for a few minutes, like if you need to.
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:18.480
Like, don't, don't try to fight it.
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:20.400
You know, that's something I've heard from a lot of people.
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.440
I I fortunately have never been knocked out or fainted or whatever.
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:24.880
I've come close, definitely.
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:27.920
But like, you know, what people always say is don't fight it.
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:29.679
Like, sit the fuck down.
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:30.000
Okay.
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:31.199
Lay down, whatever.
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:34.480
Like, and tell somebody, like, I'm not feeling good.
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:35.039
Okay.
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:43.039
Um, you know, I know, I know uh like we we we boys, we men, we fellas, we gentlemen, right?
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:48.400
Us us gents, we we sometimes like to, you know, we have our our ego and our pride and everything.
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:58.400
But like really, if if if it's between like sitting down for a few minutes and letting somebody know, hey, I'm not feeling good, and fucking dying, like suck it up, dude.
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.320
Let let your coworker, let your friend, let your family member know, like, hey, I'm not feeling good.
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:04.639
I need to sit down for a minute and have a glass of water.
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:06.719
Like, you know, don't, don't, I don't know.
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:08.079
It it fucking annoys me.
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:20.960
Like, some of the people I know that like I work with and whatever, they're they're you could like fucking sever your your wrist could be like about to fall off the arm and blood gushing and then be like, oh, like be a man, suck it up.
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:22.320
Like, fuck you, asshole.
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:23.119
Like, I don't know.
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:32.719
Anyway, hey, maybe that's just me, but like, you know, I want to live and be healthy a little bit, and uh, you know, I'm not uh I'm not afraid to to admit it.
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.960
Uh anyway, so with that in mind, guys, it's fucking hot outside.
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:38.320
Um, be careful.
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:39.920
All right, take care of yourselves.
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:41.440
And uh yeah.
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:54.079
So anyway, wrapping that all up, let me let me get on to uh something something beautiful, and that is our Patreon subscribers and uh humongous, humongous what?
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:58.400
Thank you to our Patreon subscribers in no particular order.

Uh, hoping to get more good, beautiful, high octane content out to you soon.
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:32.400
With uh, as I'd mentioned before, with the bi-weekly release schedule, we now have a lot more time to make Patreon content, which is something we were really struggling with in the past.
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:38.320
So uh that DD show that I have long mentioned is finally actually coming.
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.639
Uh again, I I don't want to give dates, but we are recording it more.
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:50.880
Um, we recorded the one episode, but now, you know, now that our our release schedule is looser, um, we have more time to work on that stuff.
00:46:51.039 --> 00:47:09.360

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:12.639
Hello everyone.
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:19.119
My name is Xander, and I'll be running the social media pages for old Parasol Productions and by association stuff or not.
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.360
I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of this project.
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:23.519
I'm very excited to meet and talk to all of you.
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:26.880
I'll be announcing new episodes, projects, merch, and more.
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:31.519
And when interacting with these social media pages, unless stated otherwise, you'll be talking to me.
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:34.079
If you have any questions, I'm active in the Discord.
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:42.079
And of course, you can find me on all of the old Parasol production pages, including, but not limited to the Instagram X and more on the way.
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.599
I hope you all have a wonderful day, and hopefully I'll be seeing more of you.
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:55.440
So yeah, uh, once we have, I gotta sit down and make like, you know, the Instagram and the Twitter and the Facebook and the TikTok and the fucking whatever everybody uses.
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:55.840
Okay.
00:49:56.239 --> 00:49:57.199
Uh God, man.
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.920
You know, back in the day used to be the pretty straightforward, right?
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.840
You'd you'd hop on the fucking Facebook, you'd make a Facebook page and you just like post about your shit.
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:06.320
You'd hop in like a Reddit and be like, hey guys, I made this thing.
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:14.079
And it's like, well, now you gotta go into the Meta Business Center, and you have to have this and you have to have that, and you have to pay two dollars a month for this, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.960
And it's like, oh, so anyway, uh, I'll leave you guys.
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.519
Thank you for listening, uh, truly, all of you.
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:26.960
And please, you know, leave a like, leave a subscription, leave a I don't know, what do you do nowadays?
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:34.079
Leave a thing, share the show, tell your friends, tell your family, tell your boss, go into your boss's office and say, listen to the show.
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:37.840
Um, I think I already said you should do that at one point.
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:41.760
And if you didn't do it, this is your reminder, like and your final warning to do that.
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:45.360
No, please don't actually do that, unless you have that type of rapport with your boss.
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:48.639
I do with my boss, um, but you might not.
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:50.639
You might have a douchebag as a boss.
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:52.800
So if that's the case, don't don't do that.
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:59.599
Unless you think you'd like it, and then maybe now he's not a douchebag to you anymore, and actually, or she is uh is super pleasant to you.
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.960
So uh anyway, I'll leave you guys with just a final thought.
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:09.519
Okay, take care of yourselves, your life has value, uh, and things get better, you know.
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:11.199
Things things really do.
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:26.000
There's good times, there's bad times, but it's always important to know, like as long as you are trying to keep your head above water and you're trying to do better um for yourself and for the people around you, like, you know, there's always tomorrow, right?
00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:35.760
And and and things, I mean, really, truly, I I I've been through some some tough shit in my uh life and and things things get a lot better.
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:39.840
But um yeah, make the world uh a little bit better tomorrow.
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:41.280
Later.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:49.840
Nice.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:57.679
So, guys, let's do a quick recap of where we left off because it was a pretty explosive.
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.200
So we started um we started at the red tent inn, I believe.
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:15.280
We started at the place where Bertie and Tate were were originally staying.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.680
You you last episode opened with you guys in Creedmore's room, which had been torn apart.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.680
Oh, so that's the forest inn.
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.760
The forest inn is where you guys are staying now.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.719
The bush light.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.640
The bush light is where where um Creedmore was staying.
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.359
Oh right, okay.
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:32.079
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.560
Sorry.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.000
See, there I go.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.560
Yes, you guys were at the bush light.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.599
You found Creedmore's room, you got let in.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.239
Yep, and then uh and then we discovered that there was a tripwire rigged to a shotgun.
00:01:46.640 --> 00:02:00.239
Um so Bertie disarmed that, and then while he was doing it, the window was open and he caught a glint through the window and suspected that it was, you know, a scope of some kind, so he got down.
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.319
Uh Tate went and checked it out, and sure enough, there was some dude on a bank, I think it was.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.000
On a taller office building.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.680
A taller office building.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:22.240
So we devised a plan where Tate would go up to the roof and provide overwatch, and Bertie would head over to the building to, you know, find this person and hopefully get some answers.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:43.599
So Bertie makes his way over there and uh walks up the stairwell, and when he gets to the top, he sees a dude standing by the ladder or the steep stairs leading to the roof and tries to get him to like put his hands up, and instead the dude shoots at him and winds up hitting Bertie in the shoulder.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.800
Through his coat pocket.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.080
Through his coat pocket, yep.
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.439
That sly dog, him.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.319
Well, Bertie fired twice at Bertie through the coat pocket, missed.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:53.840
Birdie shot at him, missed.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.319
The guy pulled the gun out and then shot Birdie.
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.479
Yep, and hit him in the shoulder, and then Bertie shot him through the stomach.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.280
Yep.
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.759
Pretty pretty pretty pretty gnarsty.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.319
Yep.
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:04.719
Yep.
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.520
Bertie is not a happy camper right now.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:21.680
Um while that happened, Tate Tate keeping an eye on our buddy on the roof, noticed some erratic movement as that guy got up, turned around, and trained a rifle on the access point to the roof.
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:30.159
Which at that point Tate took a non-lethal but severely damaging shot at the leg.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.639
And proceeded to blow his leg off.
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:35.280
Apparently.
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.080
At the knee.
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.039
At the knee.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.400
Um so Bertie hears this shot, and then hears a dude screaming on the roof.
00:03:42.639 --> 00:04:03.199
So he goes up and you know, disarms him, and he realized too late that the guy had like chomped down, you know, had bit down on something, so he tried to shove a rag into his mouth to stop him, but uh the dude had already successfully chomped down on his poison pill, thus killing himself.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:14.800
Tate made his way over to where Bertie was up there after seeing Bertie on the rooftop and stuck a rag in Bertie's bullet wound of a shoulder.
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:15.360
Yep.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.439
And then uh Deputy um Calkins.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.279
Deputy Cockins showed up and is now on the roof.
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.040
And we pulled a note off of one of the guys.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:27.680
Yes.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:33.120
And the note was instructions on go to this roof, keep an eye on this room.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:42.639
And the last thing that was said was Tate saying, I think it's Sierra Tin to Deputy Hawkins.
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:44.399
Yes.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.519
Could you mute that?
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.639
Yep, sorry about that.
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.360
No, that's okay.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.120
Could you turn that up louder, actually?
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.000
Good sound effects.
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.680
Could you could you connect that to a wireless JBL and turn it up?
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.720
So, yes, Tate says, I think it's Sierritin.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.759
To which Cody responded, and that's where we'll end our episode.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.040
Oh I think Birdie was also very hopeful that the green gems do something to him.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.480
Birdie was hoping to he was trying to eat a green gem.
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.800
He wanted some stormlight, yep.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.839
Uh, how much damage did you take with that shot?
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.279
Oh, it was a six-pointer.
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.079
Ooh.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.040
That's almost like critical.
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.519
Yeah, it could have been better.
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.120
It could have been worse.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.720
We open our scene on the roof of this office building.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:57.360
There's a dead man with his leg missing on the ground, rifle to his side, leg short distance away.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.920
The blood pulsing out of the stump is now just a dribble.
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:21.519
The two agents, the marshal and the special agent, the marshal, deputy marshal, bleeding, but with his wounds stuffed, are talking to Deputy Cockins, who's just run up the stairwell.
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:23.839
What whoa whoa.
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.480
He's got his gun out at the ready.
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.360
Kind of a Han Solo-esque stance, as was common back in the day.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.480
What's going what's going on?
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.759
Thinking Sierra T has something going on here.
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:43.920
Sierra, how so?
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:53.600
These two individuals had hop in here real quick if you don't mind.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:07:04.160
Uh our buddy Creedmore, who's been helping us and working with us, was murdered over in uh oh man, what's the name of the town again?
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.519
Uh Answorth?
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.199
No, not Answorth.
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.800
Uh yeah.
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:16.000
Yeah, our buddy Creedmore was murdered last night, this morning.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.600
Uncertain exactly when.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.800
The journalist?
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:19.439
Yep.
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:20.560
Yeah, he was.
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.839
We found him over in uh hideout that the sheriff and some folks.
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:24.720
Are you okay?
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:25.600
What what happened there?
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.000
I took a took a round of the shoulder.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:28.879
I'll be fine.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.120
Hawkins leans up and looks at it.
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:32.160
That's pretty bad.
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.680
That's the sp okay.
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:34.000
Yeah.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.040
But you're okay?
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.279
Well, I mean, uh I'll be getting to a doctor here shortly, but uh to give you a quick rundown.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.399
Uh journalist was killed.
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.560
Uh so we came back here, moved where we were staying.
00:07:48.720 --> 00:08:02.480
We went over to the we went to the bushlight inn where Creedmore was staying, and found his room all ransacked, and somebody had rigged a shotgun as a tripwire to catch anybody going in there to take a peek.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:20.879
While we were in there, while we were in there, goddammit, uh saw a glint out of the window and had uh had Tate over here take a peek with his long gun, and sure enough, there was a fella up on this roof looking at us with a scope.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:31.439
So Tate went up to the roof to keep an overwatch position while I went to this building here to go confront the fella on the roof.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:38.080
I didn't know that there was gonna be a guy inside the building at the base of the stairs down there that you ran into.
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.559
He's the one that put the hole in me.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.799
And uh I'm the one who put the hole in him.
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.440
This one up here, the leg.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.159
Well, that shot didn't kill him.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.720
He bit on something, had a poison out of him.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.120
I don't imagine he would have lived much longer.
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:05.039
Probably not, but I mean I could have tourniqueted the leg and got some maybe got some answers out of him.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.639
But they both passed before we could question.
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.840
They had this letter on them.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.279
Hold on a second.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.240
Uh, Agent Clay, you made that shot?
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.440
Someone had to.
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.600
He nods with his eyebrows raised.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:22.480
Woo.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:25.120
A note?
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.080
You have a note?
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.600
We found a note on him.
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:28.240
It's basic.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:28.879
Here you go.
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:29.519
Instructions.
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.759
It's basic instructions for them.
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.360
Well, I'll get some of the guys to clean this up.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.200
Let's give you all the safety.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.960
Have clean them up.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.600
Uh yeah.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:55.679
Tate wants to uh pull the note out that was on Creedmore.
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.919
You recognize his handwriting at all?
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.840
Um hard to say.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.200
It's not really my forte.
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.519
You got anything handwritten by the sheriff at the department?
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.879
Um, yeah, I sure, yeah, I'm sure I do.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.279
What's the chance you could get us a piece of that just to cross-reference?
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.919
Well, why don't we get back to the sheriff the office?
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.159
Well, that sounds great, but maybe a doctor first.
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.919
Yeah, I need a doctor.
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.960
You know of one in town that we can trust?
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.080
Yeah, there's a few.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.799
Um here, I'll I'll take you there.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:35.600
Okay.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.720
Bertie's gonna painfully reload his pistol.
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000
Uh I'll take that, Bernie.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:48.720
Yeah, if you could.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.600
Kate will take and reload it for him.
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.200
Thank you.
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.799
You know, maybe you should think of getting one with the mag that slides in the bottom like this.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.879
Shows his pistol.
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.919
K chunk kidding.
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.399
There's something something comforting and reliable about a wheel gun.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.919
I got a feeling this one will do write its own name in history.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.840
Yeah, well, just wait, wait until it jams up here.
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.559
You want it so bad to say, I feel like this is gonna win a world war.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.919
I was trying to think of how do I phrase that without being like corny.
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.480
Yeah.
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.320
Too too jokey.
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.679
Uh in universe.
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.440
Yeah, that was a good in universe.
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.879
Uh okay.
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:41.279
Uh Deputy Cockins gestures for the guys to follow.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.360
He brings them to a doctor.
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:49.039
It's a small kind of clinic setup, slow.
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.559
Doctor takes a look at Bertie.
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:59.759
Very painfully, he digs around to make sure there's nothing left of the wound.
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.840
The bullet went out the back.
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:07.679
Uh, but he digs around just a little bit without you know traumatizing the tissue to make sure it's okay.
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.120
Uh Tate hands Bertie his flask during this.
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.320
He does his best to sanitize it, some alcohol.
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.000
How would you treat a wound like that?
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.919
Do you do you stuff it and then or do would you just like sew it short?
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.000
At a minimum, you're gonna sew it up.
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:30.799
You'd stitch it.
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:40.480
Um, and depending on, you know, if it's just meat, like, you know, um nowadays I think they have stuff that they can stuff it with, maybe, but uh yeah.
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.720
Um I I don't know that much about it.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.600
Uh okay.
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.200
It would stitch and wrap.
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.480
That that's kind of what I figured.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:46.799
Okay.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.840
I didn't want to sound like an idiot, but or cut the arm off.
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.519
It is 1912.
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.759
So the doctor grabs a saw.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.919
No! Bite the stick.
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.120
What are you gonna saw?
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.080
Through my collarbone?
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:08.799
The doctor then goes through the process of sewing the wound shut on both ends.
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.559
But Bertie will need to sew his shirt back together.
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.679
I'm sure there's a service somewhere in town for that.
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.639
Then he wraps it with some bandages, gives him some pills for the pain.
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:28.960
Birdie pays him accordingly, and he walks out, gaining two hit points right off the bat.
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.360
He gave you some cocaine for the pain.
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:34.399
Very possible.
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.840
Um, either that or either that or um uh basically heroin.
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:48.399
If Birdie, if Bertie takes one of those pills, everything is minus 10 except for like his occult mythos or something.
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.960
That's his occult mythos, yeah, his plus 20.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:51.279
Yeah.
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.919
I can uh everything's connected, man.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.200
I can see it.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.639
Yeah, I worked for the CIA since I was five years old.
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.320
What the hell's that even?
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:01.600
Okay.
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.320
Uh and we'll kind of fast forward through some stuff.
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.519
Cawkins meets up with some people at the station.
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.919
He pulls a few guys aside, chats with them.
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:21.759
They look around kind of nervously, look at you guys, chat a little bit more, and then they make their way toward the building.
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:27.679
I don't know about you, but I could uh probably use a bit of shut eye.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.919
Why don't you pop one of those pills?
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:38.799
We go have a chat with these folk and figure out a way to sleep where we're probably not alone.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.639
That's not a bad idea.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.720
Plus, I want to cross-reference this with some of the sheriff's handwriting.
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.840
Shit, did we leave the dynamite on the on the the wagon?
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:50.480
No.
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:51.679
That that's all been moved.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.080
Okay.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.919
We we moved that all to the forest.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.320
You could do that in character because he's lost some blood and shit.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.879
No, we're we're good, Bertie.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:01.440
Okay.
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.200
Take some for the pain and have a seat and let me chat up with them.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.440
Alright, I'll be over, I'll be over here.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.519
Do you want me to leave the room?
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.799
I mean, Bertie's gonna be kind of out of commission for a while.
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.720
I mean, I'll assume that there's you can stay benches at the sheriff's department.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.799
Super comfortable.
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:21.840
Very, yeah.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.399
Wood.
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:31.279
Well, if you pop one of those pills, they will be they're they're wood planks that are like just the right distance apart where it's like you can sit on them, but they're uncomfortable.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.399
Hell yeah.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.039
Uh Bertie is laying down on them.
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.679
Okay.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.919
One of the deputies brings him a pillow from one of the cells.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.799
Shit, you guys got cots in there, don't you?
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.399
Yeah.
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.559
Don't lock me in.
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.919
Uh sure.
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.879
Uh Bertie's gonna go take a nap in the in the cell.
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.240
The deputy looks over at Copkins and Copkins nods.
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.159
Bertie walks into the cell, lays down.
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.279
Meanwhile, and with an earshot.
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.559
You said you wanted you said you wanted some papers, right?
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.240
Um stuff with his writing.
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.559
Who are we working with here, Calkins?
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.840
Uh, that's Benjamin Knowlton and Matthias uh Brissick.
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.399
Tate will shake their hands.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.120
Hey, where's the meeting?
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.360
Trust and ears or what?
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:26.960
Hmm?
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.960
Trust in ears or what?
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.440
He nods.
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.879
They're good.
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.080
Let's check this with some of the sheriff's handwriting here.
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.679
Conkins opens up a drawer, pulls out a folder.
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.519
It's reports.
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.440
All of them have some notes and some and a signature.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:17:03.279
He flips through them until he finds one signed by the sheriff, puts that on the table, flips through some more, finds another, and he builds a small stack with the sheriff's handwriting, notes and signature.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.519
He hands uh he slides that across the desk toward Clay.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:14.640
Tate will start to cross-reference it, going through the papers, setting them next to the note, looking for similarities in the handwriting.
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.200
Does he have any like a like a linguistic skill or something like that?
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.440
I'm sure he does.
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.960
He's a pretty educated guy.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:39.759
I think that would be that might be Spot Hidden might be the one to govern that because I don't see any um I don't see anything else that would really apply to this.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.359
Can I see the sheet?
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.160
Yeah, of course.
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.079
Maybe library use?
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.039
No, that's like how to navigate a library.
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.279
Yeah, that's like Dewey Decimal, right?
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.799
Do you do you find the right book?
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:54.960
I mean, Bertie has a high library because he spent a lot of time in libraries.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.480
Because he's a smarty pants.
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.519
Well, and he's also been investigating the occult on his own for a while.
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.440
Don't tell me.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.519
Didn't we have that conversation?
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.640
Uh probably.
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:08.799
Actually, no, I don't think we did.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.079
Scratch that from the record.
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.079
I did think that you said on one of the train rides that you've been looking into it.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.200
But I don't think we got too much further than that.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.680
Hey, can you try that up, please?
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.200
That actually that certifiably doesn't show up in the recording.
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:24.000
I know.
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:26.960
The audience is like, what are they talking about?
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:27.839
What doesn't show up?
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.319
For the listening audience, and this will probably get cut anyway.
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.799
We're looking for like a good relevant skill.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.200
I thought there was like a linguistic skill.
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:40.880
Um language own, but that's just your education.
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.359
Yeah, I guess just do uh education halved.
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.279
Education hard.
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.559
Thank you.
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.240
38 under education, 70 half to 35.
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.079
So 38 over 35.
00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:58.640
Okay.
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.119
It's hard to tell.
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:12.799
The the handwriting in is is similar, but it but it's really hard to put any kind of of a like a definitive answer on yes, this is that person.
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.799
Um and then you know, Clay kind of looks over at some of the other documents that are there.
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.079
Um it's it's hard to tell.
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:22.960
He's not sure.
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:27.279
I have these guys, or at least Cokins, helping me do it, right?
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.000
Could I roll with advantage, or should they roll?
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.759
Brissick looks over.
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.319
I don't think that's the same.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.160
I I don't know.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.839
I mean, look at the eye right there.
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.440
Tate looks at the two different eyes.
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.400
He thinks they look kind of similar.
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.920
I mean, that's obviously a different person.
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.000
You really think so?
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:05.519
No.
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:07.599
No, because look at the T.
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.200
Look at the way he crosses the T.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.799
That's what I was thinking.
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:16.000
That I don't know, that looks Nolton.
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.039
I don't know, guys.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.079
Doesn't look that similar to me.
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.160
Let me get it, let me get a look at that real quick.
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.240
Can you hobble over?
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.160
You need us to come brandy bring it to you.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.640
I'd prefer the ladder, if you don't mind.
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.680
Brusick, you mind running this over?
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.880
Uh yeah, that's fine.
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:44.319
Uh Birdie rolled a 28 under 73, so that is a success.
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:53.759
Brusick brings the papers in the relevant papers into the uh cell that Birdie's in.
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.680
Birdie takes a look at him.
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.559
He's pretty sure this is the same person.
00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.920
All right.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:06.400
Guys, what you gotta remember is that, you know, there's the commonalities.
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.799
Do you think they're the same or different, Bertie?
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:10.079
I think they're the same.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.359
That's one and the same.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.680
This uh I'd uh bet my unwounded shoulder that this here's the right into your sheriff.
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:19.519
What what was his stat?
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.240
Uh 28 under 73.
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.640
So 28 times two is 56 under 73.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.920
Sure, that's a way to do it.
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:30.559
Yeah.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.200
Or right.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.039
73 divided by two is over 28.
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:36.079
36 and a half.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.319
Okay, so yeah, yeah, you passed, yeah.
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:39.599
Because it was a hard roll.
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:40.799
Yes, sir.
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.759
I think that settles it then.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:44.559
Yeah.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:53.039
You know where we uh I mean, and he was also found dead in the sheriff's hideout over there in Easton.
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.680
The sheriff has a hideout in Easton?
00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.359
That's correct.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.640
I don't think I don't know about that.
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.960
Yeah, I don't think that's something he'd go out of his way to share with you guys.
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.759
You know, hideouts being what they are.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.880
He wasn't the only one that used it, I'm pretty sure.
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:18.000
I tell you it wasn't used much, but the door opens.
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.880
And in walks a pretty tall guy.
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:23.839
A man.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.880
He's somewhat muscular, but got a bit of a belly.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.279
He's wearing a hat.
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.640
The light behind him shadows his features, but he looks intimidating.
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.039
Now what do we have going on in here?
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.599
Do I recognize the pang of the voice?
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:44.240
No.
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.839
I heard people were calling for me.
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.680
Something about a shootout?
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:56.960
Oh, uh sheriff.
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.039
Yeah, uh, that that's all taken care of now.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.599
Yeah, we we got it covered.
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.440
Hey, a couple of fellows were trying to take care of these agents.
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.480
Yeah, it was a shooting.
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.720
They it's uh one of them's injured here.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.920
It's we got it.
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.359
We'll file the report.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:23.359
Bertie's hand is resting on the the grip of his gun.
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.759
The man walks up to special agent Tate Clay.
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.240
Bertie can hear all of this.
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:40.559
The second he heard a voice that wasn't familiar, Tate's hand was on his 1911 in his shoulder holster.
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.400
Now who might you be?
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.559
I figure one introduces himself first.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.799
Crumpling the note and putting it into his pocket with his other hand.
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:58.640
Call me Sheriff Orson.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:04.880
Did you say Orson?
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.720
Yeah.
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.480
You're so lame.
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:09.519
That's his name.
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:11.200
That's been his name the whole time.
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.519
Why is Orson lame?
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:16.240
And we've struck a chord.
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.559
Cody is sensitive about the names he chooses.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.559
Yeah, Orson's cool, but Orson?
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.359
Come on.
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:22.000
Orson.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.799
Is it is it Philip Orson?
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.359
Uh Orson Wells, actually.
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:28.880
His first name's Orson?
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:29.759
No, no, no.
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:31.039
It's Jeffrey Orson.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.000
You got a brother up in Panama?
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:36.480
Panama.
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.559
No, I don't.
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.680
Why do you ask about Panama?
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.559
I just thought I've heard that name before.
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:49.680
Has he?
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.799
Fuck no.
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.519
Oh.
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.000
I thought that I thought there was a connection with like his military service.
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:56.640
No.
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.680
Special Agent Clay.
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.039
He reaches out a hand with a smile.
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.440
Or a genuine smile.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:13.359
Nice to meet you.
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.680
Tate will reciprocate.
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:20.880
Always glad to have the efforts of the federal government where we need it.
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.759
I think you're one of the first people I've heard say that.
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:29.119
Well, I've had the fortune of seeing its value.
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.000
Now, what brings you out this uh this way?
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:33.119
I heard there was another one.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.240
Where's your partner?
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.480
And Clay is.
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.880
This guy seems like a really genuinely good guy.
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:44.960
Yeah, but Clay hates this guy.
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.400
Roll like a psychology check or something.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.480
Like a like or like a deceit.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.119
You know, are you trying to hide the fact that you hate this guy?
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:54.720
Well, he's acting.
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:56.720
Putting on a face.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.519
Which is a 29 under 31 psychology.
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.799
Uh Bertie's just gonna go.
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.359
Present and accounted for.
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:19.039
The sheriff will walk over to the cell and look in.
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:20.880
Well, you don't look very good.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.440
You should see the other guy.
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:28.880
Turns out some of your gang members that you don't police around here don't like us.
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.200
Well, we police as well as we can.
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.559
We're limited on supplies, men, forces.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:39.039
You'd be shocked what these savages will try.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:41.519
You push them a little too hard.
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.480
I've seen some savagery in my life.
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.839
As have I.
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:54.640
Well, gentlemen, is there anything I can help with?
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.720
Wound overnight?
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.240
I don't think so.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:05.920
Would that it were something like that existed?
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.359
Well, the world probably be a better place, wouldn't it, Sheriff?
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:10.480
Wouldn't it?
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.960
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I I could go for a second pillow if one of you wanted to be so kind.
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.839
Sheriff Orson looks over at Knowl, nods.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.039
Knowlton quickly runs and takes care of it.
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.559
Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:36.640
I have important things to attend to.
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:44.240
Uh, make sure those files get all covered correctly.
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.559
I'll take a look at them in a day or two.
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.519
Uh well, you gentlemen, have a very lovely rest of your day.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.319
Heal up.
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.759
Hey, Sheriff, super quick question before you take off.
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.200
Uh just curious.
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:10.480
You know, maybe it's the blood loss or the happy pills the dog gave me, but I can't help but think in a town of what are we sitting in here, roughly 3,000 folks, something like that?
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.200
Yeah, it's been a while since I chewed something like that.
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:25.920
Alright, so in a town of 3,000, we got uh a couple bodies up on the roof of that, their office building, and a bleeding federal agent.
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:28.960
And you got somewhere else to be?
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:31.119
Seems odd.
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:39.200
Just things to look into, places to be, people to speak to.
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:43.839
You know, this isn't the first thing going on, it's not the oldest thing.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:49.839
Important, yes, but I have other things to look into.
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:51.599
We'll be in touch.
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.880
Where uh where are you staying if I need to get in touch with you?
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.000
I mean, right here for the foreseeable future, I think.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.519
You don't mind?
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.559
You know, you guys are staying here.
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:09.920
I mean, it looks like pretty probably best we get you somewhere with a real doctor here soon.
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:11.920
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.680
Catch a train down to Minneapolis or something.
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:16.799
We could do that.
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.400
It's quite the ride.
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:20.880
You got something closer?
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:22.480
Yeah.
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.200
Looking for doctors, that'd be the place to go.
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.160
Maybe St.
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:27.119
Cloud.
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.079
Could be.
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:29.440
Go the other way.
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.799
Well, far go.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:32.799
Yeah, could do that.
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.920
Anyway, I'll be off.
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.440
We'll be in touch, like I said.
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.119
Oh, Rochester might be good.
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:40.240
That's farther.
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.079
He turns and starts walking.
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.519
That's farther.
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.039
Tate wants to.
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.119
Well, there's there's two things.
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.960
There's one I've been meaning to ask for a while.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.720
Because he's been thinking about it.
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:57.279
Creamore's wound and our buddy in the woods' wound.
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.319
Different.
00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:58.799
Okay.
00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.920
Obviously different.
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.279
You don't even got to roll for that.
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:02.960
Back to my question.
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:09.039
Was the sheriff wearing a knife?
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.119
Not one that he saw.
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:11.680
Okay.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.759
The sheriff walks out.
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:25.119
While he's exiting, walking through the door, he takes one last look behind him at Clay.
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:27.519
And there's something in his eyes.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.119
Hard to put a word to it.
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.359
And then he walks out.
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:37.519
How tall is this building?
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.480
The building?
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:38.960
Yeah.
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.400
Uh it's it's just a one-story, it's not very big.
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:42.960
Okay.
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:45.519
Peaked roof, flat roof.
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.880
It's got a little pitch to it, just a little, you know?
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.119
Like uh, you know, a roofer could probably do it and not be, you know, not too worried.
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.640
Tate's gonna watch him leave through the window.
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:04.640
He walks right, takes a corner, blends into the crowd.
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:06.960
He doesn't walk wrong.
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:08.880
He walks right.
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.160
Not wrong.
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.319
What do you want to do, Bertie?
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.200
That wasn't really Josh, you know.
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:22.079
When I said I wanted to rest up a bit, you know, feeling better, but that's probably the pills talking.
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.400
Oh, Bertie took a pill?
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.279
Yeah.
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:27.680
From the doctor.
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.480
Okay.
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.240
Uh keep talking.
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:33.920
So yeah.
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:40.640
Obviously, I don't really want to stay where he knows we're at.
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.559
Well, no shit, Bertie.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:49.680
Well, we could always go back to where we currently are.
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:51.839
I think that's her best button.
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.160
Hopefully see a friendly face along the way.
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.359
Deputy Copkins.
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.240
Uh, real quick, Bertie.
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:02.880
Yes.
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:11.599
You get uh I'll tell you later.
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:12.400
I'll tell you later.
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.119
I'm just reading what uh the pills do to you.
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:15.839
Got it.
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.000
Um Bertie is going to sit up.
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.799
Tate will help Bertie up.
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:26.480
All right.
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.440
Deputy Copkins.
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:30.720
Yeah.
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:39.759
Pretty sure you're uh Sheriff ain't the man he wants to be.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.480
I know.
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:42.000
Convinced.
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.039
He's playing with his fingers down toward his waist.
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:54.720
He looks over at the other two deputies.
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:57.519
They all nod.
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:00.319
Yeah.
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:01.920
Yeah.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:02.799
Well.
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.559
Be careful.
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:11.119
I'm assuming the lot of y'all actually joined the force because you wanna do some good around here.
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:18.079
I grew up around here, so yeah, well, me too.
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:20.160
Might be time for a new sheriff.
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:28.720
And by golly, I'm pretty sure our Second Amendment says something about unjust government or officials.
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.119
He nods.
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.359
Well.
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.119
I don't know.
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:46.400
I don't know where to start, I guess.
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.119
I mean uh a note that matches a note.
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.079
It's not a good well, I guess we've all seen stuff.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.880
As in.
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:02.559
Hey, it's uh it's not something that you gotta be hasty about.
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:05.119
Just stay on guard, okay?
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.160
How about this?
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.519
The the three of us, and he points toward the other deputies.
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:11.519
We'll put together a case.
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:18.159
Let's meet up tomorrow and see what we can do.
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.000
That sounds like a plan.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.320
One of the better ones, too.
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:27.199
Well, we'll get out of your hair.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:29.280
Thanks for the accommodations.
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.880
The two leave.
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:34.960
Where are they going?
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.320
Um, I think the forest inn.
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.079
You know, I think we should maybe not head right there.
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:43.840
Yeah, probably uh.
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:47.920
Let's go to the red tent first.
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.079
Or make it look like we are, and then cut over.
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:53.199
We could step down.
00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:04.480
Yeah, we could step into the red tent, maybe uh get a bite, and then uh see about getting out of there all unannounced.
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:14.000
Alright, so yeah, we're gonna head to the red tent in.
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:25.199
And I think when we get there, Tate's gonna go to that corner down the alleyway where he had his conversation with the faceless man.
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.480
It's the afternoon.
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:33.519
Tate feels a grumble in his stomach.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:34.480
He's getting a little hungry.
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:36.239
Birdie's up in his room by now, right?
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.159
Or his old room, his ex-room.
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.239
Birdie didn't go to his room.
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:41.280
Oh, where is he?
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:44.480
He's in the main area hoping that they serve lunch.
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:51.199
Uh they have some slices of bread with some cheese.
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.719
They only do brunch.
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:56.800
They they don't do um that that's not a meal service throughout the day.
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:00.239
No, no, they they have a nice big breakfast and then that's about it.
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.880
The rest of the day's kind of like snackables.
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:09.039
Uh hey, friend, you wouldn't happen to have a pot of Joe on, would you?
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:09.679
No.
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.960
Huh.
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:13.199
It's that same guy.
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.440
Bertie's gonna pull out a dime.
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.519
Any way to make that change?
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:19.679
I don't accept bribes.
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.320
I wouldn't call it a bribe, I'd call it a payment.
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:26.800
But if if this is a line that you can't cross, I understand.
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.440
He looks down at the dime.
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:31.679
I will make you a cup.
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.800
Thank you.
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:35.199
Meanwhile.
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:37.440
What?
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:40.000
Is a man a principle?
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.320
No, the the concierge.
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:44.719
I will make you a cup.
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.440
Well, it's the same guy that brought him the cup that was too full and too hot before.
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.480
Yeah.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.599
Do you remember that guy?
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:52.880
Hell yeah, I do.
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.159
Yeah.
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:00.800
Uh meanwhile, um do you want to step out for like a minute, too?
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:01.599
Sure.
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:10.480
So um So Tate's going around the building to the alley where he had the conversation with the faceless man.
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.559
The sun is not setting, but it's on the horizon.
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:23.280
Peeking through the tops of the trees in the distance, through some of the alleyways, the windows, etc.
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.519
He stands there for a minute.
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.719
Wind blows, birds chirp, people walk past.
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:38.639
What is he doing?
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.760
Clay.
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.320
Yeah.
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:48.000
Tate's going down the alleyway where he met the shadowy figure, Creedmoor's uh friend.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.679
Guy in the mask.
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:51.119
With the eyes.
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:52.000
Yeah.
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.960
And that's where he leaves that note.
00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:04.639
And then he yeah, and then he scratches something or writes something in somewhere, the Roman numeral for two, the divisio symbol, and then he's gonna X that out.
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.920
And then underneath that he'll be he just writes moved.
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:08.960
Okay.
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:24.639
And it's not like in the most obvious spot, but he leaves that, and then he's gonna make his way to where he met his alleged friend.
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:26.079
The faceless friend.
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.400
The faceless friend.
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.159
Okay, what's he do when he gets there?
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:38.800
When he gets there, he's gonna find something to sit on and take a seat.
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:43.119
Is he thinking anything, saying anything?
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:50.400
No, this would be a pretty good time if you could give us a hand with something.
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:58.960
After a minute passes, birds chirping.
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:04.159
He can hear people walking down the street, which is just a bit behind him.
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:13.199
Some wind blows, clouds pass overhead, the sun is not setting, but it's approaching the horizon.
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:18.239
It's light penetrating through the tops of trees and through buildings.
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:24.400
He smells burnt cigarettes.
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.360
And he feels a presence.
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:40.320
I take it you and that black mass is something at the middle of sea or ten share something in common.
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:45.360
Some way.
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:27.440
Give him all the pain he deserves.
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.719
That's not for me.
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:37.679
Is there anything you can do to just help us in general?
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:42.960
We're uh I watch.
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.599
I can tell.
00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:01.199
So you can keep an eye out for us against anything.
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.480
Like we tried to kill my buddy.
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:12.960
You keep an eye out over any of the living.
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.920
I watched your friend.
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:26.480
Didn't say anything to the man.
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:35.760
That's uh that's a blessing to hear.
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.280
You recognize, can you tell me anything about the man?
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:52.400
But you already know that.
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:58.239
Appreciate you confirming my beliefs.
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:09.599
I know.
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:17.039
I will do what I can.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:20.239
Your help's appreciated.
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:22.400
And he's gone.
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:26.480
We'll take care of the wrong as soon as we can.
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:31.840
Tate will get up and go to find Burning.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.880
Your friend Cody Zenner.
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:09.760
Uh, here today on a disgustingly hot and humid fucking uh evening all day has been disgusting.
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:12.719
I, you know, I'm I'm I'm a northerner, okay?
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:14.400
I'm built for the cold.
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:17.360
I'm built for the snow, the ice.
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:28.639
I'm not built for uh nigh on a hundred degree fucking uh degrees Fahrenheit with uh with humidity that you could like like wash a car with.
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:29.199
Okay.
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:30.400
It's horrific.
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:31.519
It's so horrific.
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.159
Where where I work, I was in a meeting today.
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:34.639
This is true.
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:45.119
I was in a meeting today, and um all of a sudden one of the one of the employees just like bursts into the fucking room and is is like, oh, such and such is passed out.
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:45.920
And we're all like, what?
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:48.239
We all sprint out into the fucking shop.
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:54.880
And uh yeah, one of the one of the guys had literally was literally fucking face down on the on the pavement.
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.480
Um and yeah, he he'd passed out from from the heat.
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.119
You know, we called uh Dine one one and whatever.
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:03.039
And we, you know, gave him water and he was fine.
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:16.400
But still, it's like, you know, to all you folks out there that are exposed to the heat, like, drink some fucking water, take a break, uh, get a fan, hop in the AC for a few minutes, like if you need to.
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:18.480
Like, don't, don't try to fight it.
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:20.400
You know, that's something I've heard from a lot of people.
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.440
I I fortunately have never been knocked out or fainted or whatever.
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:24.880
I've come close, definitely.
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:27.920
But like, you know, what people always say is don't fight it.
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:29.679
Like, sit the fuck down.
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:30.000
Okay.
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:31.199
Lay down, whatever.
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:34.480
Like, and tell somebody, like, I'm not feeling good.
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:35.039
Okay.
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:43.039
Um, you know, I know, I know uh like we we we boys, we men, we fellas, we gentlemen, right?
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:48.400
Us us gents, we we sometimes like to, you know, we have our our ego and our pride and everything.
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:58.400
But like really, if if if it's between like sitting down for a few minutes and letting somebody know, hey, I'm not feeling good, and fucking dying, like suck it up, dude.
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.320
Let let your coworker, let your friend, let your family member know, like, hey, I'm not feeling good.
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:04.639
I need to sit down for a minute and have a glass of water.
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:06.719
Like, you know, don't, don't, I don't know.
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:08.079
It it fucking annoys me.
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:20.960
Like, some of the people I know that like I work with and whatever, they're they're you could like fucking sever your your wrist could be like about to fall off the arm and blood gushing and then be like, oh, like be a man, suck it up.
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:22.320
Like, fuck you, asshole.
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:23.119
Like, I don't know.
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:32.719
Anyway, hey, maybe that's just me, but like, you know, I want to live and be healthy a little bit, and uh, you know, I'm not uh I'm not afraid to to admit it.
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.960
Uh anyway, so with that in mind, guys, it's fucking hot outside.
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:38.320
Um, be careful.
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:39.920
All right, take care of yourselves.
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:41.440
And uh yeah.
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:54.079
So anyway, wrapping that all up, let me let me get on to uh something something beautiful, and that is our Patreon subscribers and uh humongous, humongous what?
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:58.400
Thank you to our Patreon subscribers in no particular order.
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:12.480
Uh we have Todorose Bangbus, we have Paul Davis, we have steak, we have canned bread, we have Xander is here, and we have Carter Garcia, as well as Glan's Dilzig.
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:16.000
Uh, thank you guys so much for your patronage.
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:22.639
Uh, hoping to get more good, beautiful, high octane content out to you soon.
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:32.400
With uh, as I'd mentioned before, with the bi-weekly release schedule, we now have a lot more time to make Patreon content, which is something we were really struggling with in the past.
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:38.320
So uh that DD show that I have long mentioned is finally actually coming.
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.639
Uh again, I I don't want to give dates, but we are recording it more.
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:50.880
Um, we recorded the one episode, but now, you know, now that our our release schedule is looser, um, we have more time to work on that stuff.
00:46:51.039 --> 00:47:09.360
So uh actually this week, the week that this episode, this this week, so if you're listening to this right now, this week we are recording the next episode of the uh the the D show uh Universal Origins is what uh Sedeski has named it, which he it is his original work of fiction.

My name is Xander, and I'll be running the social media pages for old Parasol Productions and by association stuff or not.
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.360
I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of this project.
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:23.519
I'm very excited to meet and talk to all of you.
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:26.880
I'll be announcing new episodes, projects, merch, and more.
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:31.519
And when interacting with these social media pages, unless stated otherwise, you'll be talking to me.
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:34.079
If you have any questions, I'm active in the Discord.
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:42.079
And of course, you can find me on all of the old Parasol production pages, including, but not limited to the Instagram X and more on the way.
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.599
I hope you all have a wonderful day, and hopefully I'll be seeing more of you.
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:55.440
So yeah, uh, once we have, I gotta sit down and make like, you know, the Instagram and the Twitter and the Facebook and the TikTok and the fucking whatever everybody uses.
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:55.840
Okay.
00:49:56.239 --> 00:49:57.199
Uh God, man.
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.920
You know, back in the day used to be the pretty straightforward, right?
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.840
You'd you'd hop on the fucking Facebook, you'd make a Facebook page and you just like post about your shit.
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:06.320
You'd hop in like a Reddit and be like, hey guys, I made this thing.
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:14.079
And it's like, well, now you gotta go into the Meta Business Center, and you have to have this and you have to have that, and you have to pay two dollars a month for this, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.960
And it's like, oh, so anyway, uh, I'll leave you guys.
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.519
Thank you for listening, uh, truly, all of you.
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:26.960
And please, you know, leave a like, leave a subscription, leave a I don't know, what do you do nowadays?
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:34.079
Leave a thing, share the show, tell your friends, tell your family, tell your boss, go into your boss's office and say, listen to the show.
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:37.840
Um, I think I already said you should do that at one point.
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:41.760
And if you didn't do it, this is your reminder, like and your final warning to do that.
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:45.360
No, please don't actually do that, unless you have that type of rapport with your boss.
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:48.639
I do with my boss, um, but you might not.
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:50.639
You might have a douchebag as a boss.
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:52.800
So if that's the case, don't don't do that.
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:59.599
Unless you think you'd like it, and then maybe now he's not a douchebag to you anymore, and actually, or she is uh is super pleasant to you.
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.960
So uh anyway, I'll leave you guys with just a final thought.
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:09.519
Okay, take care of yourselves, your life has value, uh, and things get better, you know.
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:11.199
Things things really do.
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:26.000
There's good times, there's bad times, but it's always important to know, like as long as you are trying to keep your head above water and you're trying to do better um for yourself and for the people around you, like, you know, there's always tomorrow, right?
00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:35.760
And and and things, I mean, really, truly, I I I've been through some some tough shit in my uh life and and things things get a lot better.
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:39.840
But um yeah, make the world uh a little bit better tomorrow.
