1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.149
You're listening to a lily pad production.
2
00:00:04.929 --> 00:00:08.630
This is the team up play show podcast.
3
00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:29.089
Previously in the city of bones.
4
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.409
Quanta, you pull the list back out. A gross list
5
00:00:35.689 --> 00:00:38.770
filled with abused and used people. Your eyes go to
6
00:00:38.810 --> 00:00:41.609
the top name on the list. The name you both
7
00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:45.359
find in this moment is Adam Dukes. Jason, you find
8
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.320
it in the context of documentation to legally change one's
9
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:55.590
name after adoption to Adam Ellington, who is Manny's father.
10
00:00:57.299 --> 00:01:00.060
One of them is to you specifically from Manny Ellington
11
00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:02.670
that says, I know our city is going through a
12
00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:05.930
tragedy right now, but maybe to distract us, come by
13
00:01:06.129 --> 00:01:10.390
for that testing you talked about to get your book removed.
14
00:01:11.609 --> 00:01:13.909
The other one is from Elaine Akira who said she
15
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.629
would let you know about the autopsy. They all had
16
00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:24.420
enormous amounts of apomorphine and luciferin in their blood. staggering amounts.
17
00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:29.140
It reminded me of an unsolved case I had to study.
18
00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:33.900
The cold case of Darren Pachowski and an unnamed woman
19
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.900
found dead with the same toxic in their bloodstreams.
20
00:01:38.219 --> 00:01:39.959
What are those two things?
21
00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:43.959
Do I know any of those big medically words? Here's
22
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:47.340
what you know about these. They are hallucinogenic. They make
23
00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:55.680
one incredibly susceptible to They also are derived from a flower,
24
00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:57.060
the blue lotus.
25
00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:01.599
So yeah, we'll head to the, I guess the police
26
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.519
station would have files that we can score for cold case.
27
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.650
Yeah, Elaine can give you the files, certainly. You see
28
00:02:10.189 --> 00:02:12.849
an image, and then there are two figures in the bed.
29
00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:16.250
There are no wounds on the bodies, but here's what
30
00:02:16.289 --> 00:02:21.069
you gain. Darren Pachowski says, found dead with likely a
31
00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:23.849
forbidden lover, a Jane Doe. They died of a toxin
32
00:02:23.889 --> 00:02:24.810
in their bloodstream.
33
00:02:25.930 --> 00:02:29.219
Is there anything unusual or of note about the actual
34
00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:31.120
physical files or photos?
35
00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:35.580
Has any of this changed, tampered with, seem unusual? There
36
00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:39.900
is a page that is missing. You do see the
37
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.689
imprint of like a picture in the top. and then
38
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.770
some information. You can't read any of it, you can't
39
00:02:45.849 --> 00:02:48.069
see the picture specifically, but it does seem like it
40
00:02:48.110 --> 00:03:00.000
might be the woman's face. Our three heroes are solving
41
00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:03.719
a great mystery in the city of New Babel. Who
42
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:08.879
murdered the crime lords and why? While you're doing this,
43
00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:14.069
great change is happening in the city. With the new mayor,
44
00:03:14.090 --> 00:03:18.150
Henry Hilland, from time to time in your patrols and
45
00:03:18.229 --> 00:03:21.849
as you run through the city, you do see American
46
00:03:22.189 --> 00:03:30.650
cars not having hover capabilities, but themselves doing a little
47
00:03:30.669 --> 00:03:32.949
bit of patrol of the city and looking at things,
48
00:03:33.030 --> 00:03:38.120
perhaps the ambassador himself. But we are thread chasing.
49
00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:39.460
Those hot dogs are weird.
50
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:40.060
Mm.
51
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.219
Those are like square hot dogs sitting on two marshmallows.
52
00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:46.199
I don't get it.
53
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.979
I don't get it. It doesn't make sense. It feels regressive.
54
00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:54.340
We've done one point of thread chasing. Two of you
55
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.060
had three. One of you had two. What else are
56
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.599
we chasing here thread-wise, fam?
57
00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:03.710
Yeah, do we want to keep spending to go talk
58
00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:09.490
to Pachowski kids? I was thinking... Of talking to Dirk
59
00:04:09.569 --> 00:04:15.300
about Sushant and or Manny. And then maybe looking into
60
00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:16.980
Henry Hillen's wife.
61
00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:17.699
Sure.
62
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.019
But we also can just keep digging this murder hole
63
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.420
if we want. What do y'all think?
64
00:04:24.259 --> 00:04:24.439
Yeah.
65
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:28.629
How many, how many more, how many more nodes are
66
00:04:28.689 --> 00:04:31.269
there of this mystery? Like how many, we talked to
67
00:04:31.290 --> 00:04:33.670
the hot dog guy and the hot dog guy's like,
68
00:04:33.870 --> 00:04:34.769
don't talk to me.
69
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:36.870
Look in the sewer. And then he Like the sewer
70
00:04:36.910 --> 00:04:39.310
in the sewer is like, don't talk to me, I'm
71
00:04:39.350 --> 00:04:39.810
a sewer.
72
00:04:41.709 --> 00:04:43.689
We got a hot dog guy and we got some
73
00:04:43.750 --> 00:04:48.689
kind of potential MD to talk to. So we might
74
00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:52.069
keep chasing that rabbit hole. Pulling that thread one more
75
00:04:52.149 --> 00:04:53.329
step at least.
76
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:54.540
We could try.
77
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.720
Otherwise, our other focus mainly that we said it was
78
00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:00.000
trying to push a little bit on Manny. I do
79
00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:04.319
have a way to potentially poke at that with some
80
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:10.199
unmasked stuff. So I'm not opposed to keep trucking mystery
81
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.139
team style here.
82
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:11.600
All right.
83
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.600
Give another point to mystery.
84
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.740
It was the janitor all along trying to protect his gold.
85
00:05:18.779 --> 00:05:19.839
My gold.
86
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.100
I guess we also don't all have to, but it's fun.
87
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.620
It's more fun if we do it together.
88
00:05:26.329 --> 00:05:28.110
I would have gotten away with it, too, if it
89
00:05:28.149 --> 00:05:32.470
wasn't for you electric and star-powered and paper kids and
90
00:05:32.490 --> 00:05:35.470
your paper cat and your stupid robot.
91
00:05:35.689 --> 00:05:36.089
Hey.
92
00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:42.610
You could burn the cat. Great. So at the end
93
00:05:42.629 --> 00:05:44.829
of last episode, we kind of joked that you were
94
00:05:44.870 --> 00:05:49.949
going to Pachowski's dogs. Now we're unironically going. Unironically. I
95
00:05:49.990 --> 00:05:50.930
wasn't silly at all.
96
00:05:52.550 --> 00:05:55.889
I do put Sticky in a tote bag over my
97
00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:58.819
shoulder and carry him around like a little chihuahua.
98
00:05:59.060 --> 00:05:59.160
Okay.
99
00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:02.100
Are you guys going as heroes or are you going as...
100
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.680
I think maybe we unmask for this.
101
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:05.139
Really?
102
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.199
For just regular... I mean, maybe. For hot dogging, we're
103
00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:09.430
just trying to talk to peeps.
104
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.670
I don't know, because Rigel was masked to talk to Linda.
105
00:06:12.689 --> 00:06:13.209
Yeah.
106
00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:15.910
So if he shows up, Unmasked.
107
00:06:16.029 --> 00:06:18.439
If you guys want to go masked, I can go
108
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.920
and have a big hilarious menu and just sit in
109
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.540
a booth in the corner. Feel all the paper in
110
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:25.420
there as Jason.
111
00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:26.920
Sure. And eat a hot dog.
112
00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:29.379
We could go like really close to closing time or
113
00:06:29.430 --> 00:06:29.910
right after.
114
00:06:29.930 --> 00:06:33.110
Oh, that's so obnoxious. We'll have a hundred hot dogs
115
00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:38.350
now at 859. Let's do it. Yeah, so you go
116
00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:39.649
to Pachowski's Dogs?
117
00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:40.540
Yep.
118
00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.300
And two of you go as heroes? Yes. Jason goes,
119
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:50.620
I'm just a customer. I would like 100 hot dogs, please. Uh,
120
00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:56.019
Dan Pachowski looks down at you. He's a young man.
121
00:06:57.660 --> 00:06:59.079
He's a young man, but a little bit older than
122
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.139
you guys. He says, Hey, can't do a hundred dogs
123
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.360
at the end of the night, but I can do one. Perfect.
124
00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:12.470
Between one and 100 dogs, please. Uh, I'll do one.
125
00:07:12.509 --> 00:07:16.009
Between one and 100 dogs. I sit down and put
126
00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:19.060
a menu out. All right. Jason gets his dog and
127
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.300
sits down. How are you two entering Pachowski's dogs?
128
00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:24.800
I just think through the door a few minutes later.
129
00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:31.730
After a loud thunder crack. Yeah. You push open the door. Oh, hey.
130
00:07:31.990 --> 00:07:33.029
Oh, hey.
131
00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:35.230
Quanta, right?
132
00:07:35.389 --> 00:07:35.949
Yeah, that's me.
133
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.319
Wow, I can't believe you're here. This is my shop,
134
00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:41.620
Pachowski's Dogs.
135
00:07:42.970 --> 00:07:43.930
It smells great.
136
00:07:44.329 --> 00:07:45.410
Rigel, you come in, too.
137
00:07:45.490 --> 00:07:50.110
Yeah, Rigel walks in behind, kind of clopping with his boots.
138
00:07:51.750 --> 00:07:56.069
As I walk in, I flip the hanging door sign
139
00:07:56.110 --> 00:08:01.490
that I assume is there to closed. And I say, hey, Poindexter,
140
00:08:01.870 --> 00:08:04.290
we got a conversation we need to have with the
141
00:08:04.329 --> 00:08:05.209
big man over here.
142
00:08:05.949 --> 00:08:11.339
To Jason. Me? I'm just a regular customer. Masked vigilantes
143
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.680
in your hot dog store? Oh, boy.
144
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:13.779
Yeah.
145
00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:19.740
Hey, you want me to get you to go? I'm sorry.
146
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.189
I don't know what they're doing. I'll just enjoy my
147
00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:25.730
dog quietly in the corner. I've got acid reflux. Can't
148
00:08:25.790 --> 00:08:29.370
take it to go. Sorry, guys. I can't send this
149
00:08:29.410 --> 00:08:33.049
customer out. We're not quite closed yet. Can't discriminate against
150
00:08:33.070 --> 00:08:36.779
someone with acid reflux. Right. That's just what he said.
151
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.529
This will at least keep more customers from coming in
152
00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:41.690
while we talk.
153
00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:46.309
Right. Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't... I'm not.
154
00:08:48.090 --> 00:08:52.809
I'm fully above board here. Fully... I'm not... Oh, no. No.
155
00:08:53.009 --> 00:08:54.110
You're not in any kind of trouble.
156
00:08:54.629 --> 00:08:54.750
Oh.
157
00:08:55.309 --> 00:08:57.990
Then what are you guys doing here?
158
00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:02.809
We have a few questions and I heard you have
159
00:09:03.389 --> 00:09:05.129
pretty good chili cheese fries.
160
00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:08.919
That we do, that we do. I'll whip those up
161
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.059
and come sit down with you. Please. Thank you. Do
162
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:12.539
you want anything?
163
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:12.899
Sure.
164
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.289
I'll also take an order of chili cheese fries.
165
00:09:15.309 --> 00:09:17.629
Damn, I'm going to make one myself. You're going to
166
00:09:17.669 --> 00:09:20.370
make me hungry. He whips up three orders of chili
167
00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:23.820
cheese fries. You sit in the booth farthest away from
168
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.700
Jason's food.
169
00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:25.039
Uh.
170
00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:47.299
And he says, so what can I do for you, heroes?
171
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.460
We are sorry to dredge up the past, but we
172
00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:52.899
have some questions about what happened to your father.
173
00:09:52.919 --> 00:10:01.620
Oh, hey, yeah. Ching Ching, you hear the music? The
174
00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:05.159
music's loud. He looks at you, Jason. He's like, hey,
175
00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:08.500
could you turn on something on the jukebox before?
176
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:13.159
I got it. Nice. I wave my wrist and turn
177
00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:13.980
on the jukebox.
178
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.669
He gets real close to you guys. Listen, I'm not sure.
179
00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:23.250
I'm not sure if there's somebody listening to us here.
180
00:10:23.269 --> 00:10:28.769
Oh. I send my senses out to see if I
181
00:10:28.809 --> 00:10:30.490
can find any hidden microphones.
182
00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:33.610
Roll a sense check. I forgot you can do that.
183
00:10:35.509 --> 00:10:37.470
This is just, it's a simple check. It's not hard
184
00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:37.750
for you.
185
00:10:37.769 --> 00:10:40.980
I rolled a short top one and a five, six.
186
00:10:41.629 --> 00:10:42.149
Rolled a three.
187
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:42.980
Nice.
188
00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:45.580
There are no bugs in here. Certainly.
189
00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:48.059
My eyes roll back for a second and the lights
190
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:53.309
kind of flashed. flicker in and out. I didn't sense
191
00:10:53.370 --> 00:10:56.429
anything in here listening to us. I don't know if
192
00:10:56.450 --> 00:10:58.470
that makes you feel any better, just taking my word
193
00:10:58.509 --> 00:10:58.860
for it.
194
00:10:59.149 --> 00:11:02.120
She would know. Trust us. Well, yeah. Yeah, I mean,
195
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:06.080
you have all the electric stuff. You can turn that down. No,
196
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.000
I'm enjoying it.
197
00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:07.740
Alright.
198
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:15.370
Yeah, leave it there. One, two, three, four. New Babbles version.
199
00:11:15.429 --> 00:11:21.730
Shania Twain. Man, I feel like New Babble.
200
00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:25.590
Mambo No. 6 featuring Shania Twain.
201
00:11:25.669 --> 00:11:33.690
Far future. A little bit of Shania. No, I trust you.
202
00:11:33.730 --> 00:11:36.309
It's just me and my family, we've been under quite
203
00:11:36.330 --> 00:11:41.049
a bit of surveillance since the event. And listen, I
204
00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:48.039
was real young, and my little sis... It really upsets her,
205
00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:51.179
so I'm glad you came to me. Don't, uh, if
206
00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:53.360
you wouldn't mind, don't go bothering her, please.
207
00:11:54.450 --> 00:11:54.799
Okay.
208
00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:57.590
Thanks for letting us know that she was actually on
209
00:11:57.629 --> 00:12:00.450
our list to talk to as well. But anything you
210
00:12:01.129 --> 00:12:05.350
can tell us, especially who you know or believe you're
211
00:12:05.389 --> 00:12:09.690
being surveilled by, would be helpful for an investigation we're
212
00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:10.389
a part of.
213
00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:18.149
Yeah, well, no, it's, uh, I got my theories. I
214
00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:21.129
dove real deep into it when I was a teenager.
215
00:12:23.389 --> 00:12:30.659
And then scary men came by, told me, stop. Or,
216
00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:34.279
I mean, he told me a lot of bad things.
217
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.980
I don't think they would have done that if you
218
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.960
weren't close to something.
219
00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:40.139
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, right?
220
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.610
Well, we got time and lots of delicious fries, so.
221
00:12:43.730 --> 00:12:46.980
Take it away. it's not a super long story. I
222
00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:51.019
just think my dad was in bed with the lady.
223
00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:56.299
Nobody really knew who the lady was. So that's what
224
00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:58.789
I was digging in on. And I got my theories,
225
00:12:59.590 --> 00:13:01.389
but I don't know for sure.
226
00:13:01.769 --> 00:13:06.330
While he's talking, can I send a Mr. Crinkles, like
227
00:13:06.389 --> 00:13:08.350
fold up the menu and do a Mr. Crinkles to
228
00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:12.440
like send it into his back rooms, basements to snoop around,
229
00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:16.860
look for his, his, Journals, Walls of Crazy, Theories, just
230
00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:17.320
to see.
231
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:23.179
Yeah, sure. You can warg into Mr. Krinkles. One, two,
232
00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:26.200
Shania Twain. Anytime Jason wargs.
233
00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:29.200
Anytime Jason wargs, I lose it.
234
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:36.009
That's just hilarious. Paper warging is something else, man. He's like, yeah,
235
00:13:36.070 --> 00:13:38.090
that's what my dogs do to people sometimes.
236
00:13:39.330 --> 00:13:40.309
It might be reflux.
237
00:13:41.389 --> 00:13:45.899
It doesn't reflux. Yeah, so this lady, hard to find
238
00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:49.519
anything about her. So the first thing that started happening
239
00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:56.620
to my family was the money. Like my ma would
240
00:13:56.659 --> 00:14:03.059
get checks in the mail and it wasn't ever for,
241
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.240
it couldn't be used for anything. It had to be
242
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.990
put away for us. And so she saved up for
243
00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:11.950
like our dreams and what we wanted to go do
244
00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:16.250
in the city. So he gestures to the hot dog
245
00:14:16.690 --> 00:14:20.360
store He's like, hence the dogs I had a gift,
246
00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:22.960
what can I say? Yeah, you've used it well Yeah,
247
00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:28.220
thank you And my sister, she's a doctor now Money
248
00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:32.159
just kept pouring in And my poor mom, she lives
249
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.879
in the south side She loves it there, she wouldn't
250
00:14:34.899 --> 00:14:39.330
want to leave But that wasn't how it was My
251
00:14:39.490 --> 00:14:46.370
dad was an important man city council, all that stuff.
252
00:14:46.950 --> 00:14:50.090
But the money started coming in after Darren's death.
253
00:14:50.509 --> 00:14:50.789
Right.
254
00:14:52.029 --> 00:14:53.210
Where did it come from?
255
00:14:53.529 --> 00:14:56.789
Well, that's where I tried to make the two connections.
256
00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:00.320
Where's the money coming from and who is this lady?
257
00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:05.259
Are those things connected? Maybe, maybe not. How did they
258
00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:08.120
both die? When you get money like that, you think
259
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:13.129
of reparation, right? Like, like, something bad happened to us
260
00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:18.389
and they, whoever did the bad thing, didn't want the
261
00:15:18.429 --> 00:15:22.870
bad thing to get out. Yeah. And so we get money.
262
00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:27.179
And that's why when the scary man came around, they
263
00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:30.039
told me to stop looking into things. And so I
264
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.100
did because, you know, I have a gift and he just,
265
00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:36.559
just did a hot dog stand. Sure. My little, my little,
266
00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:40.159
my kid sister wanted to get through school, but, um,
267
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.990
Who could have that much money and do something that bad, right?
268
00:15:44.029 --> 00:15:44.950
That's the question.
269
00:15:45.850 --> 00:15:49.029
What were you finding out when the big scary men
270
00:15:49.070 --> 00:15:49.509
came by?
271
00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:52.029
Yeah, about the woman. Let me paint you a picture
272
00:15:52.049 --> 00:15:53.409
while you think, Johnny. Yeah.
273
00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:53.840
Mr.
274
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.659
Crinkles goes into the back rooms of the kitchen. There's
275
00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:01.700
wax paper with cartoon hot dogs that look like dogs
276
00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:04.679
on them. They start running around and chasing each other
277
00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:09.279
in a hieroglyphic art style, two-dimensionally, having a little adventure.
278
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.039
Fun music plays underneath that Johnny will have to add in.
279
00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:19.899
After they get chased around, Mr. Krinkles finds his way
280
00:16:19.950 --> 00:16:23.549
to the basement where there's notes and files backing up
281
00:16:23.629 --> 00:16:24.990
everything he's about to say.
282
00:16:25.350 --> 00:16:31.710
Relevant photographs. Dates and times. Specific ones. Numbers. How much
283
00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:36.070
has dad weighed? Facts. It's all there.
284
00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:40.509
Exact time of death. The exact story of the hotel
285
00:16:40.549 --> 00:16:42.690
that they were on. The room number.
286
00:16:42.950 --> 00:16:54.279
Ooh, room number is good. Yeah, so the one connection
287
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:59.149
I made there was... If someone willing to kill for her,
288
00:17:00.230 --> 00:17:03.769
she had to be important. Yeah. There was her picture
289
00:17:04.990 --> 00:17:07.170
in the crime scene photos they let me look at.
290
00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:11.940
I had only seen that face one other place. It
291
00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:16.880
was in a tabloid, you know, the New Babbler? Yeah.
292
00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:22.619
And it was one of those gotcha picture moments where
293
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.029
it said, who is Adam Ellington's new girl?
294
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:27.839
Okay.
295
00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:33.769
And she was in the back of one of his cars.
296
00:17:35.170 --> 00:17:40.569
And there was never any certainty that she was doing
297
00:17:40.650 --> 00:17:48.430
anything and she wasn't really seen. But whoever altered the
298
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.920
evidence and got rid of her from the case files
299
00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:54.859
wouldn't have been that hard because she was kind of
300
00:17:54.900 --> 00:17:55.240
a ghost.
301
00:17:56.210 --> 00:18:00.990
Dan, maybe you've already thought of this, but I have
302
00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:02.549
a theory. Would you like to hear it or would
303
00:18:02.569 --> 00:18:04.250
you like us to just go.
304
00:18:04.430 --> 00:18:08.180
On our way? Oh, please. It was an obsession of mine.
305
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.700
Do you think your dad was caught in the crossfire?
306
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.460
Of what?
307
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.650
Getting rid of this woman, whoever she was, was the
308
00:18:18.710 --> 00:18:19.730
true intent.
309
00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:21.089
I don't know.
310
00:18:21.109 --> 00:18:21.210
Maybe.
311
00:18:22.289 --> 00:18:26.670
Maybe. My dad didn't like the shoot, you know, and
312
00:18:26.710 --> 00:18:27.609
that's fucked up.
313
00:18:28.569 --> 00:18:29.990
I'm sure he made a lot of enemies.
314
00:18:30.390 --> 00:18:33.759
He did, and, you know, the stories about the Wraith
315
00:18:33.859 --> 00:18:36.720
and that kind of thing, that's what the news says.
316
00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:39.480
It's just like, oh, the Wraith killed him with poison,
317
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.599
but the Wraith never did that before, as far as
318
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.920
we know. It was mostly exploding people's heads. Yeah, that's
319
00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:48.460
what we know about the Wraith as well. But, uh,
320
00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:51.480
so I don't know. I don't know who the real
321
00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:55.160
target was. If it was an affair, maybe both of them.
322
00:18:55.220 --> 00:18:56.200
Crime of passion?
323
00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:00.910
Could be, but why the reparations?
324
00:19:02.069 --> 00:19:05.950
Maybe guilt. Yeah, my mom and us kids, and they
325
00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:08.650
didn't do nothing wrong. Yeah.
326
00:19:09.269 --> 00:19:12.589
Any chance this guy's kept that scrap from the babbler
327
00:19:12.650 --> 00:19:15.789
somewhere where we could see the picture down in the
328
00:19:15.809 --> 00:19:16.609
dank corner?
329
00:19:17.089 --> 00:19:18.279
Hot dog basement.
330
00:19:18.730 --> 00:19:20.680
A greasy hot dog basement.
331
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:24.440
A greasy tabloid newspaper.
332
00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:28.019
Roll an investigation check. Okay. You know I'm going to
333
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.660
have my paper since do it. Because I'm looking for paper, baby.
334
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:35.589
Oh, God, if we didn't. If we didn't live in
335
00:19:35.609 --> 00:19:37.750
a neo-noir city, what the fuck would I do?
336
00:19:38.670 --> 00:19:42.720
I rolled a nine on a challenging check. Oh, poopy poops.
337
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:43.559
I got a six.
338
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.160
That's just an upside down nine.
339
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.440
Yeah, and if you think about it. You find bags
340
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:59.440
of potatoes and bags of glizzies. Mr. Krinkles takes them.
341
00:20:00.069 --> 00:20:02.390
Takes a bag of glizzies at least. And that's all
342
00:20:02.430 --> 00:20:07.230
I figured out. Then, you know, what was the day

369
00:21:25.089 --> 00:21:26.430
My finger is in the shot.
370
00:21:27.250 --> 00:21:30.589
I'm holding a french fry up to my masked mouth.
371
00:21:32.930 --> 00:21:37.960
So we'll say that's two points of thread chasing. Two

Okay.
375
00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:50.759
Yeah, what is more important? Should I find out if
376
00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:55.849
Dirk knows anything about the Ellington's involvement with Everwing and
377
00:21:55.890 --> 00:22:03.170
their team? Or should I like go to the hospital
378
00:22:03.230 --> 00:22:06.579
and look for like a Hilland? Cause she was sick.
379
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.180
Oh, interesting.
380
00:22:08.819 --> 00:22:12.019
But record like records like now we've established that's like,
381
00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:14.000

382
00:22:14.019 --> 00:22:18.450
Well, it sounds like, adam ellington manny ellington this case

00:22:20.950 --> 00:22:24.190
learn about them whether it's from dirk or otherwise.
385
00:22:23.750 --> 00:22:26.930
Yeah all right i'll talk to dirk with my last one.

Excuse us, Lucky. I mean, you're welcome to hang out too.
394
00:22:52.769 --> 00:22:55.170
I just have some questions for Dirk.
395
00:22:55.190 --> 00:23:00.089
I like these little guys. They're pretty great. They're very cute.
396
00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:01.230
They are so cute.
397
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:09.440
They kick the ball. They kick it. Dirk comes over
398
00:23:09.460 --> 00:23:12.640
to hang out with you. What can I do for you, Quanta? Word.
399
00:23:13.450 --> 00:23:18.390
Finding out some things about Manny Ellington and that family.
400
00:23:18.410 --> 00:23:21.269
And I was just, I was curious about Adam Ellington's
401
00:23:21.329 --> 00:23:25.970
involvement with you and the Knights back in the day.
402
00:23:25.990 --> 00:23:28.759
No, uh, Richard.
403
00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:32.579
Excuse me, not the Knights. You were the Veniam Knights
404
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.099
as the day.
405
00:23:34.420 --> 00:23:34.859
Hunters.
406
00:23:35.339 --> 00:23:36.440
Hunters. Thank you.
407
00:23:37.380 --> 00:23:47.130
Uh, yes. Richard, uh, uh started helping us and then
408
00:23:47.490 --> 00:23:52.119
his adopted son adam took the reins and really did
409
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.059
more for us than richard ever did uh technology housing
410
00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:02.829
the nest this this right here what did you know
411
00:24:02.869 --> 00:24:08.849
about him very little it was all very cat and
412
00:24:08.869 --> 00:24:16.230
mouse in what way Well, we very rarely, if ever,
413
00:24:16.369 --> 00:24:20.109
saw him personally. It was always missives and amounts of
414
00:24:20.170 --> 00:24:25.029
money and buildings bought for us and in our names
415
00:24:25.130 --> 00:24:30.769
and food, clothing. It was so that we didn't have
416
00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:31.230
to work.
417
00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:35.200
So you never met him?
418
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.420
I don't remember meeting him. It was two lives ago
419
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.589
for me. Right.
420
00:24:41.509 --> 00:24:46.170
Well, um, you know the thing Sticky's been showing us?
421
00:24:47.109 --> 00:24:47.470
Yes.
422
00:24:48.789 --> 00:24:53.700
We found out the boy in those is the same
423
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.599
person as Adam Ellington.
424
00:24:58.140 --> 00:25:00.839
Interesting. Very interesting.
425
00:25:01.539 --> 00:25:06.160
So, makes us wonder who is Manny Ellington.
426
00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:16.700
Yes. Adam... was never known to have a wife. But again,
427
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.710
for us, he was elusive. Manny... Manny has been, in
428
00:25:23.069 --> 00:25:28.390
my waking, much more in the public eye than Adam
429
00:25:28.450 --> 00:25:28.950
ever was.
430
00:25:30.710 --> 00:25:32.410
So Adam even shied the public.
431
00:25:32.950 --> 00:25:36.839
Yes. Richard was a fairly public figure.
432
00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:41.029
Hmm. So if, you know, you were just looking at
433
00:25:41.450 --> 00:25:43.529
a photo from that time, you wouldn't be able to
434
00:25:43.569 --> 00:25:46.359
pull Adam out? You don't think?
435
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:50.339
Maybe just with context. He was still a famous person.
436
00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:52.619
Do you know if he's still alive?
437
00:25:52.640 --> 00:26:00.180
I wouldn't believe so. He'd be very old. Yes, he
438
00:26:01.109 --> 00:26:02.009
wouldn't be too old.
439
00:26:03.170 --> 00:26:03.809
Did you ever.
440
00:26:05.509 --> 00:26:08.410
You know, I mean, he was your benefactor, but was
441
00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:12.569
there anything that ever felt off that you remember?
442
00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:19.670
We were young and we were fighting the good fight.
443
00:26:19.990 --> 00:26:25.140
I think we felt lucky and blessed to be given
444
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.099
all that they gave. I think we took without asking
445
00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:29.900
many questions.
446
00:26:32.380 --> 00:26:37.619
I mean, that makes sense. Just I guess keep your
447
00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:40.589
distance from Manny, if you wouldn't mind for now, or
448
00:26:40.769 --> 00:26:44.589
let us know if he reaches out to you in
449
00:26:44.650 --> 00:26:45.009
any way.
450
00:26:45.589 --> 00:26:46.029
Very well.
451
00:26:47.049 --> 00:26:47.390
Thanks.
452
00:26:48.410 --> 00:26:49.369
It's all very strange.
453
00:26:50.549 --> 00:26:54.339
I will rack my brain to think if I'm missing anything,
454
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:56.019
if anything's lost in my circuitry.
455
00:26:57.180 --> 00:26:58.950
No, thank you. I appreciate it.
456
00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:00.119
Of course.
457
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:01.299
Two-on-one foosball?
458
00:27:02.130 --> 00:27:04.450
Yes, Rockfest is good.
459
00:27:04.470 --> 00:27:11.720
He can create other appendages. Roll all the little guys.
460
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:13.039
Just look at these little guys.
461
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:17.490
I love forcing Johnny to have to yes and to
462
00:27:17.529 --> 00:27:20.269
give us things that we want canonically that are not important.
463
00:27:20.009 --> 00:27:22.859
To the plot. Yeah, they're just playing foosball, which we
464
00:27:22.890 --> 00:27:25.400
have now in the basement. Foosball table is just there.
465
00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:29.859
And there's a pinball machine and a ninja slushie.
466
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:34.480
Ooh, a ninja slushie. Ooh, I'll make the slushies. Then
467
00:27:34.509 --> 00:27:35.470
two-on-one foosball.
468
00:27:35.769 --> 00:27:39.690
Jameer, what are you doing with your final point of
469
00:27:39.849 --> 00:27:45.390
thread chasing? Unmasked, I'm going to go talk to my sister.
470
00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:47.200
Ooh.
471
00:27:48.490 --> 00:27:58.390
Yeah, you find Lila at home one night after her practice. Hey, Jameer. Hey, sis.
472
00:27:58.650 --> 00:28:02.809
Good to see you. How's practice? Good. I'm getting ready
473
00:28:02.849 --> 00:28:09.029
for Kono Condors again. All right. All right. You know,
474
00:28:10.630 --> 00:28:11.849
keep a solid base.
475
00:28:12.009 --> 00:28:15.380
Knees over shoulders or under them, you know, depending on
476
00:28:15.410 --> 00:28:15.950
the gravity.
477
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:21.160
I know, Jameer. Have you ever played shootball? No, just watched.
478
00:28:21.619 --> 00:28:28.829
Just watched a lot. I got it. Armchair shootball coach.
479
00:28:29.529 --> 00:28:36.250
Just wanted to ask, though. Yeah, what's up? You work
480
00:28:36.269 --> 00:28:39.299
for Ellington Electric, yeah? Right, yeah.
481
00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:43.859
I know we don't talk work a lot, and my
482
00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:49.740
work is pretty boring. It Pays the bills, but the Ellingtons,
483
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.460
that's a big company.
484
00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:55.539
That's a lot going on. Yeah, it's pretty cool. What's
485
00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:59.519
your work over there like? Well, I'm just like an aide,
486
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.740
which is just like a fancy word for gopher. I
487
00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:07.769
just go for coffee, go for extra notepads, go for
488
00:29:07.829 --> 00:29:09.069
pens and pencils.
489
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:14.690
Yeah, I mean, I understand that work, but when you're
490
00:29:14.710 --> 00:29:17.670
doing that work, You know, you hear stuff.
491
00:29:17.690 --> 00:29:18.529
You see shit.
492
00:29:19.369 --> 00:29:23.910
I sure have, delivering, you know, coffees and sandwiches and
493
00:29:24.390 --> 00:29:31.579
other stuff. Well, have you learned anything on the job?
494
00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:32.980
Anything juicy?
495
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:39.259
I think this will need to be a roll. Okay. Okay.
496
00:29:40.650 --> 00:29:44.619
A juicy roll roll for juice do you ever go
497
00:29:44.690 --> 00:29:47.519
for your boss on the top of a collapsing building
498
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.160
while wearing a mech suit.
499
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:53.640
I'm just a gopher somebody roll why don't you roll
500
00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:57.279
a d20 for me one to five will be not
501
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:02.430
so juicy Five to ten will be juicier. Ten to fifteen,
502
00:30:02.930 --> 00:30:08.190
pretty juicy. Fifteen to twenty, the juiciest. The juiciest. I
503
00:30:08.210 --> 00:30:11.779
got a ten. All right. A ten.
504
00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:13.299
Medium juice.
505
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:17.859
Medium juice. Medium juice. You got that medium juice, girl.
506
00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:22.220
You're just average.
507
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:29.400
You're a straight five. I mean, there's just, like, there's
508
00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:31.759
a lot of places we're not allowed to go. I
509
00:30:32.829 --> 00:30:36.710
guess that's pretty interesting. Like, you would think it's just, like,
510
00:30:36.750 --> 00:30:41.569
an electric plant, right? Mm-hmm. Or something, but it's not.
511
00:30:41.670 --> 00:30:44.390
There's laboratories there.
512
00:30:44.410 --> 00:30:44.490
Okay.
513
00:30:44.910 --> 00:30:50.259
There's... Tamir, it's so weird you're asking about this, because, like,
514
00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:56.660
a few days ago, I saw past a door that,
515
00:30:57.420 --> 00:31:03.990
Manny was coming out of... And there was... A lady... In.
516
00:31:05.470 --> 00:31:05.630
Um.
517
00:31:06.509 --> 00:31:08.150
It's one of those things where you see it and
518
00:31:08.190 --> 00:31:10.809
you're like... Did I see that or is my mind
519
00:31:10.849 --> 00:31:14.769
just being weird? Because he's very nice and everything's... And
520
00:31:14.809 --> 00:31:18.579
they gave me a raise... Of course. Good work. And
521
00:31:18.619 --> 00:31:22.240
so you're like... I don't want to like... Self-sabotage and
522
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.180
like see things that aren't really there... Just to like...
523
00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:26.539
It can't be this good.
524
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.019
Anyway.
525
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.920
There was a lady in like a big tank. A tank? Yeah,
526
00:31:34.339 --> 00:31:40.009
like blue fluid and there was wires all connected to
527
00:31:40.049 --> 00:31:47.250
her and a breathing tube. That's creepy shit. Right? That's
528
00:31:47.289 --> 00:31:52.660
not normal, right? That's not normal. Okay. I didn't tell
529
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.980
mom and dad, obviously, because they would freak. Yeah, maybe rightly,
530
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:04.190
but Yes, understood. So. So. Yeah. Fucking taste.
531
00:32:04.210 --> 00:32:04.910
Foosball?
532
00:32:06.930 --> 00:32:09.289
But other than that, it's really normal. Other than that,
533
00:32:09.390 --> 00:32:13.950
normal shit. Yeah. But that, not normal shit. Yeah. Yeah.
534
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.500
I'd say. There's a big chunk of it I'm not
535
00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:19.720
allowed to go in, though, which is, again, I think
536
00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:26.420
that's weird. That was the only time you saw anything weird? Yeah. Yeah. Well.
537
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.380
I mean, other than the fact there's just a lot
538
00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:33.190
of laboratories and, like, lots of stuff going on. Yeah.
539
00:32:34.250 --> 00:32:37.130
Yeah, well, as cool as it is to learn about
540
00:32:37.170 --> 00:32:40.069
all this shit, don't get into trouble.
541
00:32:41.430 --> 00:32:41.990
It's a good gig.
542
00:32:42.009 --> 00:32:42.269
Yeah, I know.
543
00:32:42.329 --> 00:32:44.799
It's a good gig. Yeah, man, it's a good gig.
544
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:46.740
All right.
545
00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:49.980
And if you ever need work, I mean, you know,
546
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:52.839
you can always join me in the bike business.
547
00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:54.380
All right.
548
00:32:55.049 --> 00:33:00.630
Yeah, well, no thanks. You have this talk with your sister,
549
00:33:00.690 --> 00:33:03.569
gaining a little information about something weird she's seen.
550
00:33:03.769 --> 00:33:06.750
You've got such nice, like, sister goggles on. I'd be like,
551
00:33:06.769 --> 00:33:08.410
she couldn't be lying about anything.
552
00:33:09.130 --> 00:33:12.630
I'll take it. Face value. So nice of you. Little sib.
553
00:33:13.210 --> 00:33:18.819
She can't get one. And we enter unmasked life. What
554
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:23.539
did we give to unmasked life, everybody? Four. Four. Two. Two.
555
00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:27.240
Two for the other two of you. Two, two. Jason,
556
00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:30.220
what are you doing with your four and unmasked? I
557
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.980
did a two, two.
558
00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:36.490
So I think first order of operations, I don't know
559
00:33:36.509 --> 00:33:37.789
if you want the big picture, if you kind of
560
00:33:37.809 --> 00:33:41.250
want things in phases here, but I think first things first,
561
00:33:41.269 --> 00:33:46.240
I do want to get over to the library and help.
562
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.140
I suppose if it's Henry Hill and his team or whatever, like,
563
00:33:51.109 --> 00:33:54.829
rebuilding the library, restocking the shelves, trying to get it
564
00:33:54.990 --> 00:33:56.529
back up and running. I don't know if it's going
565
00:33:56.549 --> 00:33:59.980
to be open soon, but you know, at the very least,
566
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:04.640
you know, get, get over there, be seen and know that,
567
00:34:05.380 --> 00:34:05.980
you know, I.
568
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:09.099
Own the library now. So yeah, you go over there
569
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.860
and you haven't been around too much. There's a young
570
00:34:13.030 --> 00:34:18.210
woman with a clipboard who's, I approach her immediately. Seems
571
00:34:18.289 --> 00:34:20.409
to be in charge. You seem to be in charge
572
00:34:20.449 --> 00:34:25.800
of things. That's right. Hi. I like your clipboard. Thank you.
573
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.780
Seems like it's got schedules and plans for the library.
574
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:36.769
Yes, exactly. Well, and organization, where everything goes. My name
575
00:34:36.829 --> 00:34:37.369
is Julia.
576
00:34:37.869 --> 00:34:38.050
Great.
577
00:34:38.389 --> 00:34:38.730
Jason.
578
00:34:38.750 --> 00:34:38.969
Hi.
579
00:34:39.389 --> 00:34:43.849
Hi. Oh, Jason. Jason Turner. Yes. Owner of... An operator
580
00:34:43.889 --> 00:34:46.110
of the Pendragon Library. Oh, my God. I'm so glad
581
00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:48.710
you're here. I don't have a clipboard or anything, so
582
00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:51.570
I understand. Well, no. I mean, there's a lot I
583
00:34:51.610 --> 00:34:54.070
need to go over with you about where you want things.
584
00:34:54.150 --> 00:34:58.110
I have thoughts. Okay. You and Julia get to work.
585
00:34:58.989 --> 00:35:06.110
Absolutely doing this library. Doing it up. Absolutely doing this library.
586
00:35:06.130 --> 00:35:10.219
Doing it up. She has been given a lot of stuff.
587
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:11.800
We're like Abso-Bookly.
588
00:35:22.230 --> 00:35:25.389
Along with the stuff from America, a lot of books
589
00:35:25.409 --> 00:35:29.280
have come in from Henry Hilland. She works for Henry,
590
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:34.920
and she was put in charge of giving the library
591
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.780
back to the people. It has been fully rebuilt. rebuilt
592
00:35:39.860 --> 00:35:43.019
to look as close to the old one as possible. You,
593
00:35:43.179 --> 00:35:48.480
you certainly feel the difference immediately, but yes, you, you
594
00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:53.199
rebuild the library with, uh, with Julia. She's, uh, very bookish.
595
00:35:53.219 --> 00:35:54.699
I think the two of you get along very well.
596
00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:56.989
Is there, and you can say no, if this is
597
00:35:57.090 --> 00:36:01.309
not fall under unmasked life, but like, while I'm hanging
598
00:36:01.409 --> 00:36:04.889
out doing this, is there any chance of like carving
599
00:36:04.969 --> 00:36:07.889
out some, like we need this part for load bearing, uh,
600
00:36:08.699 --> 00:36:12.099
or like, this is the, Arthur would have wanted an
601
00:36:12.139 --> 00:36:15.199
adult section of the library for porn. I want to
602
00:36:15.300 --> 00:36:19.329
sneak in a secret room in the library plans.
603
00:36:19.610 --> 00:36:22.929
I'll say you can do that. Ooh, I love that. Nice.
604
00:36:23.730 --> 00:36:24.429
A sanctum.
605
00:36:24.690 --> 00:36:25.269
Very good.
606
00:36:25.710 --> 00:36:26.030
Fun.
607
00:36:26.210 --> 00:36:26.909
For porn.
608
00:36:27.869 --> 00:36:32.650
A porn sanctum. Yeah, no superhero stuff down there. It's
609
00:36:32.969 --> 00:36:37.420
all superhero. It's all superhero porn. Always, dude. Where do
610
00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:40.360
you want it to be? Because I think you could
611
00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:43.489
have been a part of some of the design discussion, certainly.
612
00:36:43.909 --> 00:36:47.730
I think if we've already got the nest as, like, underground,
613
00:36:48.010 --> 00:36:53.710
I'm thinking cool attic, atrium, like, in the clock tower.
614
00:36:53.269 --> 00:36:54.280
Of the library.
615
00:36:54.300 --> 00:36:54.380
Yeah.
616
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.019
Overlooking the city dramatically.
617
00:36:58.360 --> 00:36:58.719
Love it.
618
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.199
Great. Jameer, what was one thing you wanted to do
619
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:05.500
with Unmasked Life? I think Jameer does want to, like,
620
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:10.599
Pick up some shifts. With the city feeling a little slower,
621
00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:13.239
I just want to be in it. I want to
622
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.739
be delivering food. I want to be riding around on
623
00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:16.739
my hover bike.
624
00:37:17.460 --> 00:37:21.869
Connecting with the people, seeing life from the ground.
625
00:37:22.170 --> 00:37:24.150
Yeah, you get back in and pick up a couple
626
00:37:24.190 --> 00:37:28.150
shifts with Joey. Maybe, you know, almost close to a
627
00:37:28.190 --> 00:37:33.309
full week of work. Yeah. Jameer, you haven't been around.
628
00:37:33.630 --> 00:37:35.889
You know me, been picking up bread from all kinds
629
00:37:35.929 --> 00:37:38.090
of places, but have to come back to see my
630
00:37:38.130 --> 00:37:38.769
main man.
631
00:37:39.010 --> 00:37:42.360
You gotta hustle, man. You gotta hustle. And you pick
632
00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:44.380
up some shifts in the city. Yeah.
633
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:49.119
Hovering around on the hover bike, saying hi, smiling and nodding.
634
00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:54.150
It feels a little weird being down below and not
635
00:37:54.210 --> 00:37:58.210
up above, which is wild that so much has changed
636
00:37:58.269 --> 00:37:58.730
so fast.
637
00:38:00.010 --> 00:38:02.389
Yeah. Quanta, what's one thing you wanted to do with
638
00:38:02.510 --> 00:38:03.570
unmasked life?
639
00:38:03.789 --> 00:38:07.630
I would like to go to work within the back
640
00:38:07.670 --> 00:38:11.900
of my mind, remembering that Manny had stopped by before.
641
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:16.900
So I think every time a customer comes, a slight
642
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:21.320
little hope that it's going to be him again. Yeah.
643
00:38:21.940 --> 00:38:22.599
Interesting.
644
00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:25.230
Hey, Gabe, any messages while I was out?
645
00:38:25.750 --> 00:38:27.250
Nothing specific, Ronnie.
646
00:38:27.949 --> 00:38:28.510
Great, great.
647
00:38:29.250 --> 00:38:29.489
But.
648
00:38:29.510 --> 00:38:32.449
Just throwing on my fancy robe.
649
00:38:33.179 --> 00:38:33.440
Yeah.
650
00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:35.019
Tying it up, throwing dust.
651
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:40.980
On the floor. Sorry. But people are always excited to
652
00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.340
see you.
653
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:41.840
Great.
654
00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:44.659
And you go back to work and do some readings
655
00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:48.940
with people. Jason, another thing from you. Gonna see Paige.
656
00:38:49.139 --> 00:38:52.780
Gotta go to the hospital to see Paige. How much
657
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.079
time do you think you spend with Paige? You gave
658
00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:56.099
a four, so.
659
00:38:57.099 --> 00:38:59.739
I think if the library was only kind of one
660
00:39:00.010 --> 00:39:06.690
point's worth, then I would say probably just another one
661
00:39:06.789 --> 00:39:07.489
point here.
662
00:39:07.510 --> 00:39:12.170
Okay. So maybe if it's over two weeks, a few days,
663
00:39:12.309 --> 00:39:19.340
but sleeping there overnight, certainly sometimes. Hospital chairs. Yeah. So
664
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:24.159
you check in with Paige... Her vitals are all fine
665
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:28.710
and even. The doctors say that strange sort of thing
666
00:39:28.730 --> 00:39:31.659
of like, it's just up to them now and they
667
00:39:31.699 --> 00:39:34.980
want to come back kind of thing yeah um still
668
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:38.969
very unsure of what will happen when Paige returns we're
669
00:39:38.989 --> 00:39:42.449
gonna save a Paige scene till the end of this
670
00:39:42.530 --> 00:39:46.690
unmasked heard um but there will be something with Paige
671
00:39:47.650 --> 00:39:50.360
down the line nice mmm Jameer.
672
00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:51.380
Yes.
673
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:56.090
Your last point. Or were both those points for work? No,
674
00:39:56.130 --> 00:39:56.570
just one.
675
00:39:57.429 --> 00:40:00.630
Yes, what's your last point in Unmasked? I want to
676
00:40:00.670 --> 00:40:04.929
go to some kind of shoot town hall.
677
00:40:05.590 --> 00:40:06.190
I want to.
678
00:40:06.230 --> 00:40:06.610
Yeah.
679
00:40:08.469 --> 00:40:08.630
Yes.
680
00:40:09.090 --> 00:40:09.949
I just want to.
681
00:40:09.949 --> 00:40:13.789
I don't plan to speak, but I want to hear, like,
682
00:40:14.510 --> 00:40:19.289
the core gang had a real peak. under Cordula the
683
00:40:19.550 --> 00:40:23.239
last few months. How's the Soma Prince doing? How are
684
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:27.380
people feeling? Are we still getting yummy yummies from the
685
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:28.420
space barge?
686
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.949
What's going on? How did the shoot ball vendors feel?
687
00:40:32.010 --> 00:40:32.909
Can they return?
688
00:40:33.969 --> 00:40:38.269
They filibuster.
689
00:40:38.469 --> 00:40:40.369
I'm Jason. And I'm Jason.
690
00:40:40.489 --> 00:40:42.969
And we have some thoughts about vending.
691
00:40:43.070 --> 00:40:47.590
Close down Pachowski's dogs. Am I right? Yeah. Because they're
692
00:40:47.630 --> 00:40:50.949
putting strain on the good old shoot dogs.
693
00:40:50.989 --> 00:40:53.809
Get rid of the American fruit coming in because we.
694
00:40:53.670 --> 00:40:56.730
Got shoot fruit. We got our own shoot fruit.
695
00:40:56.769 --> 00:41:01.030
Pull out a t-shirt cannon, but it's full of apples.
696
00:41:01.050 --> 00:41:08.570
Oh, God. Yeah, those two idiots are certainly at the
697
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:12.679
shoot town hall. It does happen in the shoot ball arena.
698
00:41:12.780 --> 00:41:17.039
It's a good place for everyone to sit. True. And yeah,
699
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:21.260
I think in the shoot, a town hall would be
700
00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:25.659
like wild. There are a lot of crazy people that
701
00:41:25.739 --> 00:41:30.710
show up and say crazy things. There's one guy who's like,
702
00:41:31.769 --> 00:41:34.719
I have had a mango. Every day.
703
00:41:34.739 --> 00:41:34.820
Yeah!
704
00:41:37.900 --> 00:41:39.599
Jason, the vendor, loves that.
705
00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:45.650
Respect. Respect. Every day. And it gave me bad diarrhea,
706
00:41:46.210 --> 00:41:50.869
and I'm mad about it. Boo. Boo. Yeah, that's right.
707
00:41:50.949 --> 00:41:55.550
We don't want diarrhea when we ate mangoes. No! That's
708
00:41:55.650 --> 00:42:03.340
our number one priority. Boo. Boo. Boo. So I think
709
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:10.250
it is wild. There is no core presence there. None. Okay.
710
00:42:10.489 --> 00:42:15.449
Normally one of the captains would show up to a
711
00:42:15.530 --> 00:42:19.090
thing like this, but there is no one. There is
712
00:42:19.110 --> 00:42:23.199
a shoot elder who has been in the shoot for
713
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:25.920
a long, long time that tries to keep things organized
714
00:42:25.980 --> 00:42:30.719
and tries to actually hear pleas and promises to try
715
00:42:30.739 --> 00:42:33.090
to get in touch with the core. but it is
716
00:42:33.130 --> 00:42:35.849
a little chaotic, Jameer. Okay.
717
00:42:36.449 --> 00:42:42.980
Jameer sees the eyes of the people, the fear, the uncertainty,
718
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:46.639
and it doesn't sit well in his belly.
719
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.500
You need some Tums?
720
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:57.360
Later. Later. Get your Tums here, red hot Tums. God
721
00:42:57.420 --> 00:43:00.210
damn it. Off the grill.
722
00:43:00.829 --> 00:43:02.170
Fresh off the grill.
723
00:43:03.510 --> 00:43:05.349
Quanta, your last point in Unmasked.
724
00:43:05.409 --> 00:43:06.889
I will go to family dinner.
725
00:43:06.909 --> 00:43:06.989
Yeah.
726
00:43:08.010 --> 00:43:08.469
Yes.
727
00:43:08.889 --> 00:43:10.150
You go to family dinner.
728
00:43:10.949 --> 00:43:16.469
Yes. Through the course of the evening, you know, I
729
00:43:16.510 --> 00:43:20.369
wanted to hug my parents just after, you know, our
730
00:43:20.610 --> 00:43:24.489
heavy discussion about what's coming for the three of us
731
00:43:24.550 --> 00:43:31.489
last episode. But then I try to like get Sandy
732
00:43:31.530 --> 00:43:36.050
to talk about work more. And cause there's been so
733
00:43:36.110 --> 00:43:40.610
much happening in the city, like something had have to
734
00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:43.030
pass through her office. And Quanta even realizes like, I
735
00:43:43.030 --> 00:43:47.099
don't even know who my mom works for. Like what,
736
00:43:48.059 --> 00:43:50.539
you know, she, she got me off the hook, but
737
00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:55.739
that was just her knowing how to navigate the law here. Yeah.
738
00:43:56.280 --> 00:44:00.449
So maybe like during dessert, just being like, mom, There's
739
00:44:00.489 --> 00:44:03.630
been so much going on, like the murders of those
740
00:44:04.650 --> 00:44:05.789
gang leaders.
741
00:44:05.929 --> 00:44:06.269
Yeah.
742
00:44:07.250 --> 00:44:11.550
Talk about judgment and the council swearing in Henry.
743
00:44:11.570 --> 00:44:11.650
Yeah.
744
00:44:12.429 --> 00:44:17.500
What are your thoughts legally about all this?
745
00:44:18.179 --> 00:44:21.199
Oh, man. Well, it's a mess. It's a mess because
746
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:25.860
there's so little precedent for everything. It's a mess because...
747
00:44:26.460 --> 00:44:30.420
the city charter is old and, and kind of confusing.
748
00:44:31.139 --> 00:44:34.599
It's a mess because when there was no mayor, there's
749
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:39.849
no higher authority really. And the system of judges was
750
00:44:39.909 --> 00:44:43.250
so corrupt under the last mayor. A lot of that's
751
00:44:43.269 --> 00:44:46.869
been cleared out thanks to Henry. So we're happy about that. Um,
752
00:44:46.929 --> 00:44:48.929
but you know, a lot of it right now is
753
00:44:49.949 --> 00:44:53.369
assigning new judges and, I was doing a lot of
754
00:44:53.469 --> 00:44:56.630
just like insurance claims and bullshit. They had to call
755
00:44:56.670 --> 00:45:00.909
us down for all the destruction in Kono that happened
756
00:45:00.949 --> 00:45:06.090
at the mayor's skyscraper. So, yeah, I've been kind of
757
00:45:06.110 --> 00:45:09.550
doing grunt work, honestly, but it's what's got to happen
758
00:45:09.570 --> 00:45:10.530
for the city to heal.
759
00:45:11.260 --> 00:45:14.280
I'm sorry I don't know this, but who do you
760
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.780
work for? Are you part of a firm? Are you
761
00:45:16.860 --> 00:45:17.559
like in-house?
762
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:21.420
Yeah, Winston, Winston and Cantor. I'm a partner with them.
763
00:45:22.219 --> 00:45:23.679
Sorry that I didn't know.
764
00:45:23.699 --> 00:45:25.940
That's fine. It's boring. Pretty boring.
765
00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:27.059
Kind of is.
766
00:45:27.739 --> 00:45:34.849
Hey, me and your mom were talking. You're Quanta, right? Yeah.
767
00:45:35.269 --> 00:45:36.369
Yeah, I'm Quanta.
768
00:45:36.570 --> 00:45:40.730
We fucking knew it. Yeah, honey. We just wanted to
769
00:45:40.769 --> 00:45:43.250
say we're really proud of you. And we want you
770
00:45:43.269 --> 00:45:46.300
to be safe. I know it's very dangerous what you're doing.
771
00:45:47.409 --> 00:45:48.519
But we love you.
772
00:45:48.539 --> 00:45:51.920
I love you guys, too. And I'm... Sorry I didn't
773
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:52.960
just come out and say it.
774
00:45:53.699 --> 00:45:55.820
No, I get it. Hey, kick their ass out there
775
00:45:55.860 --> 00:45:56.940
when they need it, all right?
776
00:45:57.179 --> 00:45:58.679
We're trying. We're really trying.
777
00:45:58.900 --> 00:46:01.590
No, I know you are. It's tough. We're proud of you.
778
00:46:01.969 --> 00:46:05.869
Sorry that we're part of the grunt work you got
779
00:46:05.889 --> 00:46:06.170
to do.
780
00:46:06.190 --> 00:46:09.250
No, hey, if it had actually fallen over, there'd be
781
00:46:09.289 --> 00:46:11.309
a lot more to do. So you guys did great.
782
00:46:11.349 --> 00:46:15.050
We saw you up there. Thanks. That's when I think
783
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.199
Your mom and she is known for a while, but
784
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:18.739
that's when I knew for sure. I was like, hey,
785
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:22.849
that's my girl holding up that building. Come on. Come on.
786
00:46:24.289 --> 00:46:26.150
We're trying to hold up a lot, moms.
787
00:46:26.650 --> 00:46:29.829
Yeah, we asked your dad, too, and he was not
788
00:46:29.889 --> 00:46:30.789
good at lying.
789
00:46:31.690 --> 00:46:32.769
Yeah, no, he's not.
790
00:46:33.349 --> 00:46:37.440
Yeah, I basically told him. I started sweating. It's okay, Dad.
791
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.820
And I said, no, no, no, she's not.
792
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:45.739
It's okay, Dad. I'm honestly surprised you Didn't tell them sooner.
793
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:48.000
Yeah, well, it's tough for me to lie to your
794
00:46:48.019 --> 00:46:50.090
moms again about how I went last time.
795
00:46:50.510 --> 00:46:53.449
That makes sense. And I'm sorry I put you in
796
00:46:53.489 --> 00:46:54.030
that position.
797
00:46:54.050 --> 00:46:55.510
Hey, that's okay.
798
00:46:57.429 --> 00:47:01.250
Well, what do you... Do you really think that me
799
00:47:01.570 --> 00:47:03.570
and my friends that we're doing good?
800
00:47:04.130 --> 00:47:09.980
Sandy shrugs. The mayor was as corrupt as they come.
801
00:47:10.460 --> 00:47:11.719
Yeah, he was a piece of shit.
802
00:47:11.739 --> 00:47:11.820
Yes.
803
00:47:12.460 --> 00:47:17.260
Yes. We had a good life under him. And most
804
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.909
people didn't. And that's not fair. I think his removal
805
00:47:21.989 --> 00:47:26.869
is a good thing. But that's the problem is you
806
00:47:26.909 --> 00:47:30.429
cut off one head and what happens?
807
00:47:31.300 --> 00:47:32.420
We're trying to figure that out.
808
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:35.079
Yeah.
809
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:39.280
Also, do you think, I mean, you know, you never
810
00:47:39.340 --> 00:47:42.570
raised me this way, but Are there, are there day that,
811
00:47:43.210 --> 00:47:45.070
that think like we're better than humans?
812
00:47:45.730 --> 00:47:47.110
I mean, mostly in that church.
813
00:47:47.969 --> 00:47:48.150
Right.
814
00:47:48.230 --> 00:47:48.550
Yeah.
815
00:47:48.650 --> 00:47:49.650
Well, besides that.
816
00:47:49.750 --> 00:47:52.090
That your dad and you hung out at.
817
00:47:52.670 --> 00:47:55.380
But that was, that was, that was different than like
818
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:58.820
what I'm talking about. That was like soft power.
819
00:47:58.840 --> 00:47:59.699
Hmm.
820
00:48:00.219 --> 00:48:01.300
I mean, not saying it's good.
821
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:01.920
Just.
822
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:02.739
Yeah.
823
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.539
No, there aren't any day groups that I know about
824
00:48:06.579 --> 00:48:09.989
that are what you're saying, like day supremacists.
825
00:48:10.500 --> 00:48:13.199
Yeah, but I guess you're right. The church does come
826
00:48:13.380 --> 00:48:14.239
kind of close to that.
827
00:48:14.820 --> 00:48:17.349
Close as it is, you know.
828
00:48:18.469 --> 00:48:21.650
Yeah, I guess I just really wanted to distance myself
829
00:48:21.730 --> 00:48:24.329
from them that I haven't really thought about it in
830
00:48:24.349 --> 00:48:24.670
a while.
831
00:48:25.329 --> 00:48:26.309
Yeah, it's a good idea.
832
00:48:28.289 --> 00:48:29.690
I really messed up with all of that.
833
00:48:31.289 --> 00:48:32.070
You live and you learn.
834
00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:37.239
That's a nice way to put you destroy people's lives
835
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.599
and then Try to make up for it by becoming
836
00:48:39.619 --> 00:48:40.699
a vigilante in the night.
837
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:45.380
But that's your journey, and we're so proud of it.
838
00:48:45.409 --> 00:48:48.269
That's what your 20s are for. That's what your 20s
839
00:48:48.349 --> 00:48:49.250
are for.
840
00:48:49.329 --> 00:48:51.530
Thanks, Mommy. Can I have another cookie?
841
00:48:51.909 --> 00:48:52.409
Of course.
842
00:48:52.429 --> 00:48:53.210
Mommy.
843
00:48:53.449 --> 00:48:59.860
Of course. Mommy. You hang out at family dinner. All right, Jason,
844
00:48:59.900 --> 00:49:02.380
back to you. You got two more points. Two more points.
845
00:49:03.059 --> 00:49:07.090
They're both going to getting some tests done.
846
00:49:07.309 --> 00:49:10.130
Take this book out of me. I do not want
847
00:49:10.150 --> 00:49:16.230
to be a superhero. Unmask me forever. Whoa.
848
00:49:16.349 --> 00:49:18.190
Unmask me forever, daddy.
849
00:49:18.210 --> 00:49:25.119
Daddy. Magic tooth daddy. You go to Ellington's. You greet
850
00:49:25.260 --> 00:49:30.400
the girl at the front desk. Hi. Oh, yeah, this girl.
851
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:31.380
You still work here?
852
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:31.480
Yeah.
853
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:35.980
Why wouldn't I? No reason. You're so good at your job.
854
00:49:36.420 --> 00:49:36.920
Thank you.
855
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:37.400
Yeah.
856
00:49:37.820 --> 00:49:42.429
I learned about sarcasm. And you were being sarcastic just now?
857
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:50.239
Was it not obvious? I don't know. Are you being
858
00:49:50.260 --> 00:49:54.400
sarcastic right now? Fuck, this is hard. Maybe. Are you
859
00:49:54.539 --> 00:49:57.599
flirting with me? I don't know. Fuck, I don't know.
860
00:49:57.619 --> 00:50:03.590
I got an appointment. You go into your appointment. She
861
00:50:03.630 --> 00:50:07.090
walks you back, and you do head into a very
862
00:50:07.469 --> 00:50:13.769
hospital-looking office. hospital-esque section of the electric plant that is
863
00:50:13.789 --> 00:50:18.670
Ellington Electric. More hospital cheers. Manny said he was sorry
864
00:50:18.730 --> 00:50:21.070
he wasn't going to be here, but he says he'll
865
00:50:21.090 --> 00:50:24.550
look at the test results and write you a letter. Yeah,
866
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:31.940
that's okay. Thanks. Whatever. Hey, whatever to you too. Thanks.
867
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:36.659
A doctor comes in. They strap you in, Jason. They
868
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:43.949
run every kind of medical test that is runnable. MRI, scans,
869
00:50:44.030 --> 00:50:51.409
blood tests. Name two more. X-rays. That's one. Brain scans.
870
00:50:51.730 --> 00:50:56.110
I don't know. Any kind of medical test. Can they also,
871
00:50:56.610 --> 00:50:59.710
I just request one. Yeah, urine is good. Urine. Urine.
872
00:51:01.550 --> 00:51:03.670
I just want to be laid flat on top of
873
00:51:03.710 --> 00:51:05.210
like a Xerox copy machine.
874
00:51:05.230 --> 00:51:12.380
They scan the book. They scan you on a Xerox
875
00:51:12.449 --> 00:51:16.260
to get really grainy images of the book. Yes. You
876
00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:21.940
run tests with the folks at Ellington and Manny's going
877
00:51:21.980 --> 00:51:22.860
to get back to you.
878
00:51:23.219 --> 00:51:26.110
And he, In this part of the facility too, is
879
00:51:26.130 --> 00:51:29.949
there opportunity for like a little bit of downtime snooping too?
880
00:51:30.070 --> 00:51:32.670
Is there anything I can just like poke around at,
881
00:51:32.710 --> 00:51:33.929
peek at while I'm here?
882
00:51:34.510 --> 00:51:37.619
Absolutely. Sneak around? I don't know if it's something I
883
00:51:37.659 --> 00:51:42.179
would do, but sneak around. So just disappearing from the
884
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:46.539
table or not being walked out, both of those are
885
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:50.530
going to draw quite a bit of Oh, no, no, no, no.
886
00:51:50.550 --> 00:51:54.050
Don't worry. Hospital gowns are made of paper. I don't
887
00:51:54.090 --> 00:51:59.130
think so. Shitty ones. Or whatever the thing they cover
888
00:51:59.190 --> 00:52:03.909
the table with. I want to disappear into that. No,
889
00:52:04.050 --> 00:52:06.070
I don't need to go. But you know what I mean?
890
00:52:06.389 --> 00:52:09.889
I could send Mr. Crinkles on some recon. Yeah, roll...
891
00:52:10.090 --> 00:52:12.429
You can also just do a general paper scan of
892
00:52:12.449 --> 00:52:19.570
the building. Roll an investigation check here with... Your paper sense.
893
00:52:20.409 --> 00:52:23.469
This is a difficult check. I'm rolling a D12. All right.
894
00:52:23.510 --> 00:52:25.780
This will be a D8 plus a D6 for me.
895
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:30.940
I rolled a three. I got a five. Nice. Witter. Five.
896
00:52:31.820 --> 00:52:33.199
Are you looking for anything specific?
897
00:52:33.539 --> 00:52:36.730
I think so. I think generally I want to see
898
00:52:36.769 --> 00:52:43.260
if there's any signs that connect with You know, any
899
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.789
indication of Adam Ellington, any other kind of experiments happening? Like,
900
00:52:46.849 --> 00:52:48.190
I'm going to stay in this sort of wing.
901
00:52:48.349 --> 00:52:48.630
Yeah.
902
00:52:48.789 --> 00:52:53.070
The hospital side, lab side. I don't think Jason would
903
00:52:53.130 --> 00:52:57.809
know about tube stuff that Jameer discussed with his sister. But,
904
00:52:58.210 --> 00:53:00.150
you know, if that's in this part of the building,
905
00:53:00.170 --> 00:53:02.769
I would certainly be looking for other patients. Like, they've
906
00:53:02.809 --> 00:53:05.570
got a whole hospital here. Like, who else is being
907
00:53:05.630 --> 00:53:07.760
researched upon? What's the research happening here?
908
00:53:08.260 --> 00:53:11.539
Okay. If that's where you're... If that's where you're focused,
909
00:53:12.099 --> 00:53:14.179
I think. Unless you think there's another place I should
910
00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:17.539
be focused. If you want to tell me where I
911
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:20.059
should be focused, I will focus there. But that is
912
00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.539
what I'm thinking about focusing on. You got a success
913
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:25.780
and you beat me by two. I think in a
914
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:28.719
general scan, you send Mr. Crinkles around, you do just
915
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:32.719
a broad paper scan. The things on paper that come
916
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:35.800
back to you, because you're the paper guy. That's me.
917
00:53:37.050 --> 00:53:42.809
There is a room. Labeled Hannah Hilland. I knew.
918
00:53:44.670 --> 00:53:44.789
It.
919
00:53:44.809 --> 00:53:44.869
Mr.
920
00:53:44.889 --> 00:53:49.840
Freestyle. Sick wife in a tube. Honestly, Mr. Freestyle. Honestly, Mr. Freestyle.
921
00:53:50.099 --> 00:53:53.079
If you're going to call me on it, honestly, Mr.
922
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:53.480
Freestyle.
923
00:53:55.659 --> 00:53:58.260
Every man has dreamed of taking the love of his
924
00:53:58.340 --> 00:54:01.340
life and having her get a bad disease that needed
925
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:03.769
to put her in a tube so he can mourn
926
00:54:03.829 --> 00:54:06.369
over the idea of her rather than live with the
927
00:54:06.429 --> 00:54:06.980
reality of her.
928
00:54:07.230 --> 00:54:13.110
All thought about it. I feel gross. The other thing
929
00:54:13.150 --> 00:54:15.409
you get, and this is in Manny's office, which you've
930
00:54:15.449 --> 00:54:17.429
been to. I think because you've been there, you know
931
00:54:17.469 --> 00:54:20.730
it's relatively close. You scan that a little bit as well.
932
00:54:21.469 --> 00:54:22.590
You find a family tree.
933
00:54:23.610 --> 00:54:23.750
Ooh.
934
00:54:24.590 --> 00:54:29.449
There is Richard. Richard had no wife and had no heir.
935
00:54:30.570 --> 00:54:38.769
Adam was adopted. Adam is next to a woman named Nora.
936
00:54:39.969 --> 00:54:48.030
Nora Ellington. The two... Beneath Adam and Nora, there are
937
00:54:48.139 --> 00:55:02.219
two children. Diane and Carver. The name Adam is crossed
938
00:55:02.380 --> 00:55:10.340
out in pen and replaced with the name Emmanuel.
939
00:55:11.500 --> 00:55:29.719
Oh my God. My God, he did it.
940
00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:37.829
He did it. He did it. The rat bastard. A
941
00:55:37.849 --> 00:55:42.559
dramatic breeze opens just the back of Jason's hospital gown.
942
00:55:45.340 --> 00:55:49.000
Cat flies back in. So you gain that knowledge and
943
00:55:49.019 --> 00:55:53.590
you get tested. All kinds of fun tests. Every fluid.
944
00:55:53.610 --> 00:55:55.630
Every fluid and scan.
945
00:55:56.550 --> 00:55:57.250
The reflexes.
946
00:55:58.199 --> 00:55:59.469
Yeah, I've got acid reflux.
947
00:56:00.489 --> 00:56:02.150
I saw the little hammer on your knee.
948
00:56:02.230 --> 00:56:02.550
Oh, yeah, yeah.
949
00:56:02.590 --> 00:56:06.489
Hammer on my... Real delayed. Hammer on the knee. Ten
950
00:56:06.510 --> 00:56:11.349
seconds go by. Oh, my leg. Is that good? You
951
00:56:11.409 --> 00:56:14.579
shouldn't eat so many hot dogs. It's like a really
952
00:56:14.619 --> 00:56:18.380
bland doctor. Give it to me straight, doc.
953
00:56:18.940 --> 00:56:22.219
You've had reflux because you have a book for an esophagus.
954
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:27.889
Yeah. All of my neural pathways. Yeah, my spine is
955
00:56:28.309 --> 00:56:30.090
Fused with a book spine.
956
00:56:31.170 --> 00:56:37.219
One of the nights you go to visit Paige, you
957
00:56:37.300 --> 00:56:43.900
visit her often. She sleeps, breathes quietly. What do you do?
958
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:45.460
Do you talk to her? Do you just sit there?
959
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:46.960
Do you read to her? What do you do?
960
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.579
Yeah, I think I'll read to her mostly, but every
961
00:56:51.619 --> 00:56:53.179
once in a while I'll just sort of start to
962
00:56:53.219 --> 00:56:55.579
talk to her as if she's awake and alive and
963
00:56:55.619 --> 00:56:58.039
normal and give her updates. tell her what kind of
964
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:01.639
stuff I'm learning, paper phantom secrets, all of it. I'm
965
00:57:01.659 --> 00:57:05.960
just sort of just talking to process. Uh, and I
966
00:57:05.980 --> 00:57:12.409
think all the while to specifically the paper phantom suit
967
00:57:13.690 --> 00:57:17.130
is like, again, off of me. It's like chilling in
968
00:57:17.190 --> 00:57:21.199
the corner, floating, looming presence, but never speaking.
969
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:27.670
There's one night you enter the room. And there's a
970
00:57:27.710 --> 00:57:33.190
man in there. Paige is off of her hospital bed
971
00:57:34.210 --> 00:57:38.610
on a floating, not like hover tech, but on a
972
00:57:38.889 --> 00:57:44.840
floating gurney. Over her, there are two straps that glow
973
00:57:44.980 --> 00:57:50.179
blue with zero point energy. The guy turns his head,
974
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.760
looks at you. He's in a trench coat. He's bald.
975
00:57:53.980 --> 00:57:58.019
He has scruffy face hair. He says, ah, shit. You're
976
00:57:58.059 --> 00:58:02.960
not a doctor. That's true. Hey, kid, listen, I need
977
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:05.809
to take care. You gotta understand.
978
00:58:06.670 --> 00:58:06.929
What?
979
00:58:08.349 --> 00:58:12.769
Uh, I don't think so. Oh, this is gonna be
980
00:58:12.849 --> 00:58:16.329
so much to explain. Well, you can explain it to me,
981
00:58:16.349 --> 00:58:21.239
or you can explain it to me. The cloak flies back,
982
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:25.860
covers me up, dukes up, swords out. His big trench
983
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:31.170
coat flies back. He pulls out two guns, which are
984
00:58:31.329 --> 00:58:37.489
unlike anything you've ever seen. They have long barrels, but
985
00:58:37.510 --> 00:58:42.280
they're both handheld. The face of the barrel glows orange,
986
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.780
and he hasn't even fired. They don't look like normal-sized
987
00:58:46.900 --> 00:58:51.500
bullet holes. He says, I wouldn't try it, kid. My
988
00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:55.039
name is Brock. Does that mean anything to you? Rock Danton,
989
00:58:55.079 --> 00:58:59.010
does that mean anything anymore? Moonslayer? How long has it been?
990
00:59:03.750 --> 00:59:05.699
Does it mean anything that I'm missing?
991
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:12.320
Yeah, he's one of the OG Evos. That like fought
992
00:59:12.360 --> 00:59:16.960
in the war. Yeah, he's the one that destroyed the moon.
993
00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:19.760
And he's stealing your girl. I don't know if I
994
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:23.820
would know that. Brock Danton is... Is he famous? He's
995
00:59:23.929 --> 00:59:28.130
so famous. Okay, great. Him and William... So William Blainer
996
00:59:28.269 --> 00:59:31.099
is famous for... making the day people, you know, that
997
00:59:31.159 --> 00:59:36.619
much Brock Denton famous for, um, the creation of the, uh,
998
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:40.719
bombs of life and the blowing up of the moon
999
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:46.409
on accident. Yeah. Does that name mean anything? Brock Denton, moonslayer.
1000
00:59:46.429 --> 00:59:53.670
I mean, vaguely. Listen, I love your whole thing. Honestly,
1001
00:59:53.889 --> 00:59:56.690
big fan. Hey, I'm enjoying what you're putting down too,
1002
00:59:56.730 --> 00:59:58.989
but you can't take her. Let me tell you why
1003
00:59:59.070 --> 01:00:03.150
before we have to fight, okay? All right. I represent
1004
01:00:03.170 --> 01:00:09.690
the Evos of Io. Except we're changing. Best thing we
1005
01:00:09.730 --> 01:00:12.780
can figure is that far away from Mother Earth out there,
1006
01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:23.510
we're de-evolving. Devolving. Moving a step back the evolutionary chain. Okay.
1007
01:00:23.530 --> 01:00:27.360
And devolving. Maybe that doesn't sound like a big deal.
1008
01:00:27.380 --> 01:00:31.079
We're all just becoming normal people again, but our society
1009
01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:36.289
on Evo is built on our abilities. It's how we
1010
01:00:36.369 --> 01:00:42.130
live out there. An entity of pure evolutionary energy popped
1011
01:00:42.210 --> 01:00:45.670
up on our scanners. We haven't cared much about what's
1012
01:00:45.710 --> 01:00:48.269
going on on Earth for a while. So for the
1013
01:00:48.329 --> 01:00:52.070
first time in fucking decades, I'm back on Earth, and
1014
01:00:52.110 --> 01:00:53.230
I think she can help us.
1015
01:00:54.789 --> 01:00:54.949
Aww.
1016
01:00:55.409 --> 01:00:55.510
What?
1017
01:00:56.840 --> 01:01:02.980
Where she goes, I go. I can't take you to space, kid. Well,
1018
01:01:03.019 --> 01:01:05.699
you can't take her. I'm not letting her go. She's
1019
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:11.010
all I have left. Hey, I'll bring her back. Maybe.
1020
01:01:12.110 --> 01:01:12.710
Oh, no!
1021
01:01:12.809 --> 01:01:18.409
How do you like that for a guarantee? There are
1022
01:01:18.610 --> 01:01:23.570
evos that keep us alive. The death toll, if the
1023
01:01:23.610 --> 01:01:30.030
devolving continues, will be catastrophic. If there's a shot, he
1024
01:01:30.090 --> 01:01:33.030
lifts his guns. I gotta take it. You say you're
1025
01:01:33.050 --> 01:01:37.219
a fan of the paper phantom and his vibe. Sure. Well,
1026
01:01:37.659 --> 01:01:47.360
I don't think you know me that well. That's right.
1027
01:01:50.659 --> 01:01:53.139
And that's where we'll end this episode of the Team
1028
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:54.820
Up Play Show Podcast.
1029
01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:54.909
Woo!
1030
01:02:00.460 --> 01:02:04.570
All right. We'll do a little bit more screeching in
1031
01:02:04.630 --> 01:02:06.050
the chat cave.
1032
01:02:06.110 --> 01:02:08.789
Like little chats. Like the little chats we are.
1033
01:02:08.809 --> 01:02:13.559
Like the little fucking chats we are. Join us on
1034
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:18.139
our post show in the chat cave. It's on our Patreon, see?
1035
01:02:18.159 --> 01:02:23.119
And it's patreon.com slash teamuprpg. And we'll see you over there.
1036
01:02:23.179 --> 01:02:25.900
But more importantly, we'll see you next week with another
1037
01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:29.920
episode and find out what's going on with the moonslayer.
1038
01:02:33.099 --> 01:02:33.300
Whoa.
1039
01:02:33.989 --> 01:02:34.360
Bye. Bye.
1040
01:02:34.889 --> 01:02:41.030
Bye-bye. Fly me to the moon. It's destroyed. The moon.
1041
01:02:45.940 --> 01:02:58.809
Months before our heroes meet. Bless me, Father, for I
1042
01:02:58.849 --> 01:03:02.710
have sinned. I have never come before to confess.
1043
01:03:04.510 --> 01:03:04.929
Ah, yes.
1044
01:03:05.610 --> 01:03:09.010
Thank you for coming, my child. You should know I'm
1045
01:03:09.070 --> 01:03:12.809
not a father. Merely a deacon here at the church...
1046
01:03:14.199 --> 01:03:18.239
Father Arthur is, uh, indisposed.
1047
01:03:19.619 --> 01:03:22.780
So you cannot offer me absolution?
1048
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:30.070
Well, no. I can only offer a listening ear and counsel,
1049
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:31.239
as I was instructed.
1050
01:03:32.829 --> 01:03:37.869
That's all right, I suppose. I don't think that I've
1051
01:03:37.909 --> 01:03:38.809
done any wrong.
1052
01:03:40.269 --> 01:03:42.489
Then why come to confessional?
1053
01:03:43.730 --> 01:03:46.110
Why would you call me child as you are not
1054
01:03:46.150 --> 01:03:47.030
yet father?
1055
01:03:48.789 --> 01:03:52.260
Force of habit, I guess. For my own time in
1056
01:03:52.300 --> 01:03:54.039
the seat in which you now sit.
1057
01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:58.480
Perhaps this was a bad idea. No, no.
1058
01:03:59.300 --> 01:04:04.239
Please. I want to listen. It's important to empty our
1059
01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:06.610
minds before God, child. Go on.
1060
01:04:07.530 --> 01:04:10.550
You're going to have to stop calling me child, deacon.
1061
01:04:10.570 --> 01:04:16.369
Of course. Well, if you're willing to listen, be aware
1062
01:04:16.429 --> 01:04:20.949
that what I'm about to say may seem insane. No
1063
01:04:21.030 --> 01:04:25.809
one has listened to me with any sincerity. That is alright.
1064
01:04:26.469 --> 01:04:28.360
The Lord God hears every plea.
1065
01:04:29.139 --> 01:04:31.199
It's okay. Go on.
1066
01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:36.539
I've come to seek spiritual guidance. I don't believe in
1067
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:41.909
your narrow view of what God is. But I think
1068
01:04:42.010 --> 01:04:51.219
that I... Am God forced to walk among mortals? For
1069
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:54.579
some reason, sent here to Earth to do godly works.
1070
01:04:55.900 --> 01:05:00.280
Sent here to do something, but I feel unfulfilled. Trapped
1071
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:05.940
in an earthly body. I'm looking to be freed. But
1072
01:05:05.980 --> 01:05:09.219
I don't know how. I don't know what work has
1073
01:05:09.300 --> 01:05:13.309
yet been undone. I've tried everything. So much good. It's
1074
01:05:14.110 --> 01:05:17.150
the only explanation for the wonders and horrors of my life.
1075
01:05:17.269 --> 01:05:25.559
I'm worried I'll... Deacon? You think I'm crazy. Well, then
1076
01:05:25.619 --> 01:05:28.059
it was a mistake to come here. Have a good day, sir.
1077
01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:33.530
No, no, no. Forgive my silence. It's not what I
1078
01:05:33.570 --> 01:05:37.449
was expecting, but I am intrigued. What makes you think
1079
01:05:37.489 --> 01:05:40.730
this way? Are you a day of the Church of
1080
01:05:40.769 --> 01:05:41.389
New Babel Day?
1081
01:05:42.989 --> 01:05:46.989
No, I am not. But to your first question, there
1082
01:05:47.030 --> 01:05:50.039
is much to say. Where do you want me to begin?
1083
01:05:50.059 --> 01:05:56.300
At the beginning, I suppose. I have time. It is
1084
01:05:56.360 --> 01:05:58.719
rare that people come into confession at this time of day.
1085
01:05:59.860 --> 01:06:07.460
Very well. The beginning. I think of Horus, god of Egypt,
1086
01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:13.880
the gods and demigods of Greece... Krishna, Karna of Hinduism,
1087
01:06:13.940 --> 01:06:18.920
and even the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, and your Christ, of course.
1088
01:06:20.179 --> 01:06:23.219
All birthed miraculously, all God.
1089
01:06:24.219 --> 01:06:25.469
Was your birth miraculous?
1090
01:06:26.409 --> 01:06:31.750
Yes. My parents were biochemists. They were chosen to leave
1091
01:06:31.809 --> 01:06:36.210
this rock and reach the heavens. Save this earth and
1092
01:06:36.309 --> 01:06:41.530
find new worlds in space. And they left me here. Tragic.
1093
01:06:42.199 --> 01:06:47.940
Yes, but not miraculous. Also, you don't seem old enough
1094
01:06:47.980 --> 01:06:49.440
to have been a baby at that time.
1095
01:06:49.579 --> 01:06:51.239
I wasn't finished, Deacon.
1096
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:53.539
Forgive me. Continue.
1097
01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:56.079
They left me as a mass of cells and other
1098
01:06:56.159 --> 01:07:01.889
experimental genetic material in a canister full of biofluid. They
1099
01:07:01.909 --> 01:07:06.309
didn't know it, but their work in genetic enhancement was working.
1100
01:07:07.869 --> 01:07:11.530
I could hear and see them without being able to communicate.
1101
01:07:13.320 --> 01:07:18.110
These are my first memories. Every other subject had failed,
1102
01:07:18.190 --> 01:07:21.610
so when they left for space, they left me. I
1103
01:07:21.650 --> 01:07:24.369
wasn't supposed to make it, so what guilt could they feel?
1104
01:07:26.210 --> 01:07:28.880
I remember them turning out the lights, shutting out the
1105
01:07:28.940 --> 01:07:34.800
power to my glass womb and leaving me. Abandoned. I
1106
01:07:34.860 --> 01:07:38.159
grew until I was strong enough to break my prison.
1107
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:42.090
I was what you would call a child, but I
1108
01:07:42.139 --> 01:07:47.300
was stronger. Smarter, tougher. A miraculous birth. A wonder.
1109
01:07:49.300 --> 01:07:50.360
I suppose that it is.
1110
01:07:51.889 --> 01:07:52.840
To be continued.
1111
01:08:08.780 --> 01:08:12.989
That was Ethan Goldman as the Paper Phantom. Stephanie Fackler
1112
01:08:13.090 --> 01:08:17.770
as Quanta, Ben as Rigel, and Johnny Wilson as your
1113
01:08:17.840 --> 01:08:20.619
game director and the creator of Team Up.
1114
01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:24.640
And special thank you to Matt Jacobs as the Deacon.

1124
01:09:13.850 --> 01:09:17.119
this is so sad, but this week's episode's over.
1125
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:19.170
But you know what's not sad? is that we get
1126
01:09:19.189 --> 01:09:22.119
to shout out our superheroes. So let's do it. Shout
1127
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:26.180

1128
01:09:26.220 --> 01:09:30.520
to say, touch tips. Hey, shout out to Korn. She
1129
01:09:30.579 --> 01:09:34.550
sometimes runs an eight minute mile. That's a single digit number.
1130
01:09:34.689 --> 01:09:38.770
Korn, that's great. You should be proud of that. Meow, meow. Hey,

A shout out to Matt, who's trying to become an
1135
01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:56.300
American this year, and maybe you should stop.
1136
01:09:56.399 --> 01:10:00.199
Give up that dream, Matt. Shout out to Audra, who
1137
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:02.960
demolished yet another bowl of mashed potatoes.
1138
01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:05.659
Give it up for her. I'm sure she's in an
1139
01:10:05.779 --> 01:10:09.079
early grave. Shout out to Jen, who prefers the Star

1157

this without you. We'll say thank you a million times

01:11:07.390 --> 01:11:09.470

early grave.
1161
01:11:18.380 --> 01:11:19.960
This has been a lily pad production.
