1
00:00:00,556 --> 00:00:03,886
(sinister music)
(blood squelching)

2
00:00:03,886 --> 00:00:04,994
(coffins thunk)

3
00:00:05,968 --> 00:00:07,206
(lights flickering)

4
00:00:07,206 --> 00:00:10,256
(quirky upbeat jazz music)

5
00:00:15,227 --> 00:00:17,552
(wind whistling)
(wolf howls)

6
00:00:17,552 --> 00:00:20,636
(quirky jazz continues)

7
00:00:21,502 --> 00:00:22,827
(footsteps thud)

8
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:29,081
(club beat thumps)

9
00:00:29,081 --> 00:00:32,473
(quirky jazz continues)

10
00:00:34,144 --> 00:00:35,302
(lightning cracks)

11
00:00:36,813 --> 00:00:39,162
(quirky jazz fades)
(ominous laughter)

12
00:00:39,162 --> 00:00:40,791
Hello, one and all!

13
00:00:40,791 --> 00:00:42,174
Welcome back to another thrilling episode

14
00:00:42,174 --> 00:00:44,940
of "Dimension 20: City
Council of Darkness."

15
00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:46,620
I'm your humble dungeon
master, Brennan Lee Mulligan.

16
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:48,120
With me as always are our intrepid heroes.

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,518
Say hi, Intrepid Heroes.

18
00:00:49,518 --> 00:00:52,484
[All] Die, Intrepid Heroes!

19
00:00:52,484 --> 00:00:55,659
(players laughing dramatically)

20
00:00:55,659 --> 00:00:59,850
- Last we left off, this
sinister small-town coterie

21
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:03,180
had gotten together their new tasks,

22
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:07,050
saying to hell with this
edict from the Camarilla.

23
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:09,960
We have our own aims
for the town of Purpee.

24
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,790
We don't want to repel the lupines,

25
00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:13,380
we want to embrace 'em.

26
00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:16,140
We want Nancy Danderhoof
to get a goddamn Pulitzer

27
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:18,240
and we want to run shit.

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,590
We saw the beginning of a
very heavy downtime segment

29
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:24,120
opposing the Douglases,

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,700
the Whittakers, perhaps
even the Camarilla itself

31
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,506
through the auspices of Metr Industries.

32
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:30,510
(Ally gasps)

33
00:01:30,510 --> 00:01:33,570
And the hit piece on
Florian Whittaker came out

34
00:01:33,570 --> 00:01:37,260
slightly altered by the
intercession of one Maya Jayashtri,

35
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:39,295
our local food co-op witch.

36
00:01:39,295 --> 00:01:42,138
You had no right to do that.

37
00:01:42,138 --> 00:01:42,992
Get her.

38
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:49,440
- We return to resolve
the enormous successes

39
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,250
of the beginning of your
first new year in Purpee,

40
00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:55,050
post New Year's.

41
00:01:55,050 --> 00:01:58,680
And I'm gonna start with
our biggest success first,

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,155
which was, I believe, was it
a Charisma, Leadership or-

43
00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:03,905
This was Intelligence, Leadership.

44
00:02:03,905 --> 00:02:04,738
[Brennan] Intelligence, Leadership,

45
00:02:04,738 --> 00:02:06,270
and this was Charisma, Persuasion?

46
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:10,740
Manipulation, Finance.

47
00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:12,693
With 21 successes,

48
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:17,400
I want you guys to set the scene for me

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,570
on how we approach Patty Babcock.

50
00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:23,070
- What-
- Tiny steps.

51
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:23,973
[Lou] Tiny steps.

52
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:26,850
Really small steps.

53
00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:29,040
Leading up to this meeting-

54
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,248
- So Wanda.
(Emily laughing)

55
00:02:30,248 --> 00:02:34,817
- Through Tyler, we have
established an LLC with the state,

56
00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:39,172
known as Skate Free Purpee.

57
00:02:39,172 --> 00:02:40,676
- Mm-mmm.

58
00:02:40,676 --> 00:02:42,480
Free Skate of Purpee.

59
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,180
- [Lou] Free Skate-
- Darkness Man

60
00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:47,200
is running to try to stop
you from naming it that.

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,096
But he's here.

62
00:02:48,096 --> 00:02:49,551
(Lou and Ally laughing)

63
00:02:49,551 --> 00:02:50,576
[Ally] At this point, you're here.

64
00:02:50,576 --> 00:02:53,705
- We've established an LLC
called Free Skate of Purpee

65
00:02:53,705 --> 00:02:56,730
(players laughing)

66
00:02:56,730 --> 00:02:59,580
that is dedicated to the growth

67
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:03,630
and expansion of independent
skating in Purpee.

68
00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:05,202
It is vaguely Christian.

69
00:03:05,202 --> 00:03:06,660
(all laughing)

70
00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:08,970
- Keep kids off the streets
and in the skate parks.

71
00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:10,110
Amen, brother.

72
00:03:10,110 --> 00:03:12,780
- We have drawn up, in the
many blueprints we have

73
00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:13,650
of the lumbermill,

74
00:03:13,650 --> 00:03:16,053
a world in which there
is a half pipe there.

75
00:03:18,495 --> 00:03:20,100
And we have those plans

76
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:21,510
- and that groundwork.
- A line

77
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:25,170
of skate apparel and skateboards

78
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:27,180
that all need art designed for it,

79
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:28,950
and we need a lead designer.

80
00:03:28,950 --> 00:03:29,783
Yes, we do.

81
00:03:29,783 --> 00:03:31,123
So you get Tyler to set up a meeting.

82
00:03:31,123 --> 00:03:32,422
Where do you want him
to set up this meeting?

83
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,430
Where do you want to meet?

84
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:36,360
Fucking park.

85
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,830
Yeah, we'll meet at the park.

86
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:39,360
[Brennan] The defunct park?

87
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,920
- [Lou] Yeah, we'll meet
at the defunct park.

88
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,720
You guys wanna make this 21 successes

89
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,120
easier for me or harder for me?

90
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,782
I mean, where else would we go?

91
00:03:46,782 --> 00:03:47,917
Like a restaurant?

92
00:03:47,917 --> 00:03:49,192
(Brennan laughing)

93
00:03:49,192 --> 00:03:51,150
You own multiple properties.

94
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:52,260
- [Ally] Let's go to the-

95
00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:53,404
- Didn't we say we'd put a skate park in-

96
00:03:53,404 --> 00:03:54,712
[Murph] Just go there.

97
00:03:54,712 --> 00:03:56,070
No, defunct park.

98
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:57,942
No, we'll meet at the lumbermill.

99
00:03:57,942 --> 00:03:59,109
You know it!

100
00:04:00,414 --> 00:04:01,800
You know it!

101
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,572
- You don't think that's
exactly how the scene ends,

102
00:04:04,572 --> 00:04:06,197
you're fuckin' crazy.

103
00:04:06,197 --> 00:04:07,620
You haven't learned a single thing.

104
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:09,030
I have to stop letting you guys roll

105
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:11,040
before we do the scene.

106
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,860
That's really where I'm
getting lost out here.

107
00:04:12,860 --> 00:04:14,250
You guys know it's too funny

108
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:15,600
when I have to let it succeed.

109
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,210
- We are at the lumbermill,
and we got it catered

110
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:19,955
and it's tartare cones.

111
00:04:19,955 --> 00:04:21,690
Oh, beautiful.

112
00:04:21,690 --> 00:04:23,462
Every skater wants tartare.

113
00:04:23,462 --> 00:04:24,778
(Lou laughing)

114
00:04:24,778 --> 00:04:26,369
Every independent skater.

115
00:04:26,369 --> 00:04:29,340
Do one focus group with a skater.

116
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:32,610
Tacos and tartare cones.

117
00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:33,810
We've got two food trucks there.

118
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:35,949
- [Brennan] Two food trucks
waiting at the lumbermill.

119
00:04:35,949 --> 00:04:38,280
You guys get there that
evening. Tyler is there.

120
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:39,600
See, Tyler's got the clipboard.

121
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,950
He's worked out the food trucks.

122
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:43,560
He's got the candles going
in Elysium once again.

123
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,448
The lumbermill is all set up.

124
00:04:45,448 --> 00:04:47,225
HJ is wearing Heelys.

125
00:04:47,225 --> 00:04:48,940
[Brennan] HJ's got Heelys on.

126
00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:51,150
So you see that Tyler...

127
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:51,983
You can see, by the way,

128
00:04:51,983 --> 00:04:55,290
that Tyler looks extremely
anemic and skinny.

129
00:04:55,290 --> 00:04:57,570
His hairline is starting
to recede a little bit.

130
00:04:57,570 --> 00:04:58,807
But you see he comes over
and says, "All right.

131
00:04:58,807 --> 00:04:59,640
Right this way. Let's do it."

132
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,020
Hey Tyler, are you doing all right, man?

133
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:01,853
Yeah, doing great.

134
00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:02,700
Hey, are you sleeping?

135
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:04,318
- Are you eating?
- Grind it.

136
00:05:04,318 --> 00:05:05,566
- Grinding?
- Grind it.

137
00:05:05,566 --> 00:05:07,248
Grind ay?

138
00:05:07,248 --> 00:05:08,239
Grind it.

139
00:05:08,239 --> 00:05:10,103
Can I pull HJ aside real quick?

140
00:05:10,103 --> 00:05:12,333
HJ, I'm thinking we ghoul him.

141
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:16,071
What if we ghouled him?

142
00:05:16,071 --> 00:05:17,640
It'd be fun to have another ghoul.

143
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,830
That's so smart.

144
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:23,070
He would... He looks worse
than a ghoul right now.

145
00:05:23,070 --> 00:05:24,480
We'd be helping him up.

146
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,560
Big time.

147
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,650
- Let's ask, obviously
we both gotta ask him.

148
00:05:28,650 --> 00:05:30,210
- Tyler, quick sidebar
before we get in there.

149
00:05:30,210 --> 00:05:31,230
Yeah, you got it.

150
00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:33,748
- This is gonna be a lot,
but you can handle it.

151
00:05:33,748 --> 00:05:34,843
Yeah, you got it.

152
00:05:34,843 --> 00:05:36,016
- Is that an inhaler?
- [Ally] Is that kratom?

153
00:05:36,016 --> 00:05:37,154
Yeah. What's that?

154
00:05:37,154 --> 00:05:38,337
(Emily laughing)

155
00:05:38,337 --> 00:05:40,140
Yeah, but it's not for asthma.

156
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:41,400
I'm not sick. It's for- it's speed.

157
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,002
- Yeah, 100%.
- Yeah. Yeah.

158
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:46,110
- Would you be interested in
a different kind of speed?

159
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:47,520
A special kind of speed,

160
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,333
a speed that's only for the elite, the 1%.

161
00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:53,250
(players laughing)

162
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:54,400
It's called ketamine.

163
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,243
Count me in. I'll do ketamine.

164
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:05,910
Okay, so imagine a lifelong ketamine.

165
00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:07,573
We want to

166
00:06:07,573 --> 00:06:08,406
- invite you in.
- HJ, real quick,

167
00:06:08,406 --> 00:06:09,916
pull aside, pull aside.

168
00:06:09,916 --> 00:06:12,450
Ghouling him is he's just
gonna drink our blood.

169
00:06:12,450 --> 00:06:14,580
We're not gonna do the
full all the way down,

170
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:16,080
all the way back up sort of thing.

171
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,973
We drink his blood, you mean?

172
00:06:16,973 --> 00:06:18,900
No, no. We give him our blood

173
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,300
and it makes him strong and powerful.

174
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:22,546
Duh.

175
00:06:22,546 --> 00:06:24,900
(Emily laughing)

176
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:27,270
So what question do you have for me?

177
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:30,437
- You said you wanted to
double-check with him.

178
00:06:30,437 --> 00:06:31,346
Duh.

179
00:06:31,346 --> 00:06:32,833
You think I didn't read the book?

180
00:06:35,892 --> 00:06:37,530
Okay, we're on the same page.

181
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:38,363
[Ally] You think

182
00:06:38,363 --> 00:06:39,735
- I didn't read the book?
- [Lou] Tyler, what's up?

183
00:06:39,735 --> 00:06:41,820
We want to give you the
greatest drug known to man.

184
00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:44,520
And if you're in, we're in.

185
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,810
Wherever you go, I follow.

186
00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:47,130
Wherever you lead, I'm there.

187
00:06:47,130 --> 00:06:48,330
I'm gonna cut my hand.

188
00:06:49,470 --> 00:06:50,820
Drink deep, brother.

189
00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:51,653
"You got it."

190
00:06:51,653 --> 00:06:53,610
And he goes right in.

191
00:06:53,610 --> 00:06:55,530
Literally no reaction.

192
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:56,910
There's nothing you could-

193
00:06:56,910 --> 00:06:59,760
But you see, when it hits
the back of his throat,

194
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,730
his pupils dilate, and
that's when he reacts.

195
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:05,337
You realize that he still
thinks you're a man.

196
00:07:05,337 --> 00:07:06,745
He still thinks you're a human man.

197
00:07:06,745 --> 00:07:07,680
He doesn't understand what's happening.

198
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,540
He thinks this is Skull
and Bones or something,

199
00:07:09,540 --> 00:07:10,893
but as he starts to drink it,

200
00:07:10,893 --> 00:07:13,840
he kind of can't stop,
and he's like- (slurping)

201
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,446
Whoa, whoa, there brother. Whoa, there.

202
00:07:16,446 --> 00:07:17,512
It's your first time.

203
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:19,823
Now here's the thing.

204
00:07:19,823 --> 00:07:23,520
I take so much of the drug
that if you drink my blood,

205
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,170
you get to take the drug as well.

206
00:07:26,517 --> 00:07:28,217
This is like what happens at Harvard.

207
00:07:28,217 --> 00:07:30,120
- This is very much like
what happens at Harvard.

208
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,580
Neither one of us went there,
but we learned from the best.

209
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:34,500
Yeah, well check it out.

210
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:37,140
Anyone can get into Skull and
Bones if you're at Harvard.

211
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:39,330
I got into Skull and Bones
at Purpee State University,

212
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:40,800
so what's up, bitch?

213
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,090
- That's great.
- "Ha!"

214
00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:44,227
And you see that he
punches partially through

215
00:07:44,227 --> 00:07:46,290
a brick wall and goes, "Shit!"

216
00:07:46,290 --> 00:07:47,250
[Ally] I use my cane

217
00:07:47,250 --> 00:07:49,920
and I punch through the
rest of the wall with him.

218
00:07:50,820 --> 00:07:52,200
I'm so fucking strong.

219
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,640
Hell yeah, man. King shit.

220
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,630
Let's go crush a meeting.

221
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:55,885
You got it. I'm gonna go get Patty.

222
00:07:55,885 --> 00:07:57,600
Eat a sandwich.

223
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
You see that he just houses a sandwich

224
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,843
from one of the food trucks
and looks out and goes,

225
00:08:01,843 --> 00:08:03,213
"Fuck, I feel awesome!"

226
00:08:04,470 --> 00:08:07,319
- Hey, that was a good
call. He deserves it.

227
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:08,310
Boy works hard.

228
00:08:08,310 --> 00:08:09,143
He deserves it.

229
00:08:09,143 --> 00:08:11,520
- He walks in moments
later with Patty Babcock,

230
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,260
and you see, he walks up and says,

231
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:15,270
"Mr. Babcock, I'm sure you're acquainted.

232
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:17,100
Mr. Worthy, Mr. Wingstreet."

233
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:18,060
He walks in, looking around,

234
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:20,370
you see he's got some tacos in his hands.

235
00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:23,700
And he goes, "Oh, it's
you guys. Hey, what's up?"

236
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:26,580
Hey! I run, hit the Heelys,

237
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:28,120
and try to do a little jump.

238
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,810
(players laughing)

239
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:33,030
- 21, right?
- You guys are gonna fuck me.

240
00:08:33,030 --> 00:08:35,827
You guys are planning on
fucking me in this scene.

241
00:08:35,827 --> 00:08:37,253
I hate this.

242
00:08:37,253 --> 00:08:39,517
- I mean, the roll's been done. HJ-

243
00:08:40,666 --> 00:08:43,260
- The pantomiming of walking
into hitting the Heelys.

244
00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:44,417
[Brennan] Here's the thing,

245
00:08:44,417 --> 00:08:47,202
(Murph laughing)

246
00:08:47,202 --> 00:08:48,160
I did you guys a favor

247
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,973
by letting us roll before
so that I don't have you do

248
00:08:50,973 --> 00:08:53,220
an Oscar-winning scene and then fail.

249
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:54,210
I was like, "That feels bad

250
00:08:54,210 --> 00:08:55,710
if they do something really
awesome and then fail."

251
00:08:55,710 --> 00:08:56,970
But I am learning my lesson

252
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:58,620
and we will be reverting after this.

253
00:08:58,620 --> 00:08:59,647
Let's be clear.

254
00:08:59,647 --> 00:09:01,470
"The Shape of Water" has an Oscar,

255
00:09:01,470 --> 00:09:02,910
and we're about to win ours.

256
00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:04,140
- Yes.
- [Brennan] Incredible.

257
00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:07,890
All right, so you see
Tyler gestures to his seat

258
00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:08,723
and he goes-

259
00:09:08,723 --> 00:09:09,556
Mad respect.

260
00:09:09,556 --> 00:09:10,854
"Yeah. What's up?"

261
00:09:10,854 --> 00:09:11,940
Tyler says, he says,

262
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:13,710
"Mr. Babcock would like
anything else to drink,

263
00:09:13,710 --> 00:09:16,680
an energy drink or some
coffee, some herbal tea?"

264
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:18,823
See Patty goes, "I'm good, man."

265
00:09:18,823 --> 00:09:20,106
Tyler goes, "You got it.

266
00:09:20,106 --> 00:09:21,420
I'll be waiting outside
if you gentlemen need me."

267
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:24,570
And he leaps 30 feet straight in the air

268
00:09:24,570 --> 00:09:26,130
onto one of the catwalks and sprints,

269
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:27,693
"Naruto" running outta the building.

270
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:30,098
Patty, what's going on, man?

271
00:09:30,098 --> 00:09:31,067
What the fuck?

272
00:09:31,067 --> 00:09:32,067
What's going on, dude?

273
00:09:32,067 --> 00:09:33,142
- How are you?
- What's going on?

274
00:09:33,142 --> 00:09:34,467
[Lou] It's great to see you.

275
00:09:34,467 --> 00:09:36,911
It's been a minute.
Since Christmas, right?

276
00:09:36,911 --> 00:09:39,450
Yeah dude, you don't want some schnapps?

277
00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:41,015
We got schnapps.

278
00:09:41,015 --> 00:09:42,273
This guy loves schnapps.

279
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,480
No, I'm good. I'm good, man.

280
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,473
I got the, I got the...

281
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:51,750
Tyler sent me an email
saying that you guys were...

282
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:53,610
this was about graphic
design or something?

283
00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:55,050
Oh yeah, man.

284
00:09:55,050 --> 00:09:58,405
- I'm graduating in May with
a graphic design degree, so.

285
00:09:58,405 --> 00:10:00,510
We thought of you first.

286
00:10:00,510 --> 00:10:02,370
We may not have come across it before,

287
00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:05,460
but it seems like there's
no skate park in Purpee.

288
00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:06,802
It's a skate free Purpee.

289
00:10:06,802 --> 00:10:09,690
- Have we talked about how
much we love skateboarding?

290
00:10:09,690 --> 00:10:11,130
I hit...

291
00:10:11,130 --> 00:10:12,510
I try to hit it

292
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:14,250
and then jump so that I'm going backwards.

293
00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:16,200
But it's Heelys, so I fall.

294
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,039
[Brennan] Incredible.

295
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:18,455
(Emily laughing)

296
00:10:18,455 --> 00:10:20,220
- Have we talked about how
much we love skateboarding?

297
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:21,150
I'm on the ground.

298
00:10:21,150 --> 00:10:23,808
Old man busting ass on Heelys.

299
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,264
- I think that's what
we first talked about.

300
00:10:28,264 --> 00:10:30,590
(players laughing)

301
00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:31,881
21.

302
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:34,097
How much we love skating!

303
00:10:34,097 --> 00:10:36,115
- This is the biggest
success in this season.

304
00:10:36,115 --> 00:10:36,948
[Siobhan] We've ever had.

305
00:10:39,002 --> 00:10:40,787
[Brennan] He looks...

306
00:10:40,787 --> 00:10:42,762
I'm waiting for someone to help me up.

307
00:10:44,693 --> 00:10:47,130
(Emily laughing)

308
00:10:48,330 --> 00:10:49,740
Taco tico.

309
00:10:54,114 --> 00:10:56,149
You guys hadn't mentioned to me.

310
00:10:57,097 --> 00:10:58,897
You guys hadn't verbally mentioned to me

311
00:10:58,897 --> 00:11:00,300
how much you love skating.

312
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:01,133
Holy shit.

313
00:11:01,133 --> 00:11:02,594
We didn't talk about that?

314
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,496
Do you like to skateboard?

315
00:11:07,169 --> 00:11:08,002
Yeah.

316
00:11:08,002 --> 00:11:10,155
Oh my god.

317
00:11:10,155 --> 00:11:11,848
We absolutely love skateboarding,

318
00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:15,840
but not that kind of Tony
Hawk bullshit, you know?

319
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,292
- The real stuff.
- We're in-

320
00:11:17,292 --> 00:11:21,690
(all laughing)

321
00:11:21,690 --> 00:11:24,140
- Why do you think he
won't like Tony Hawk?

322
00:11:25,537 --> 00:11:27,248
- Not that bitch-ass Tony Hawk.

323
00:11:27,248 --> 00:11:28,123
We're, like, realistic.

324
00:11:30,415 --> 00:11:32,460
- Yeah, we don't do that X
Games bullshit, you know?

325
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:33,690
What are the X Games?

326
00:11:33,690 --> 00:11:35,400
- X Games?
- What are the X Games?

327
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,480
Yeah, exactly.

328
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,313
I'm 21.

329
00:11:37,313 --> 00:11:38,146
[Lou] Yeah, man.

330
00:11:38,146 --> 00:11:39,719
It's like an old thing.

331
00:11:39,719 --> 00:11:42,914
I slide over a contract for $400,000.

332
00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:47,310
We want you to be the graphic designer

333
00:11:47,310 --> 00:11:49,620
for our new initiative.

334
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:52,427
And we've been working on the
name. We're not so sure of it.

335
00:11:52,427 --> 00:11:54,154
- Yeah.
- It's called-

336
00:11:54,154 --> 00:11:55,948
(Lou laughing)

337
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:57,559
- It's called Free-

338
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,522
- [Murph] I'm here.
- [Lou] It's called-

339
00:12:00,889 --> 00:12:01,978
It's called-

340
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:05,190
It's called Free Skate of Purpee.

341
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:07,622
Kinda like the Matthew McConaughey movie,

342
00:12:07,622 --> 00:12:09,013
"Free State of Jones."

343
00:12:09,013 --> 00:12:11,940
Yeah. This is Free Skate of Purpee.

344
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:13,350
We just don't have...

345
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:16,590
If there's a better, more
kind of (Lou hums) name.

346
00:12:16,590 --> 00:12:17,423
Yeah.

347
00:12:17,423 --> 00:12:19,410
Anyway, we're kinda getting into it

348
00:12:19,410 --> 00:12:22,920
because we wanna bring
independent skating to Purpee

349
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,710
and we

350
00:12:25,710 --> 00:12:26,940
need someone's help.

351
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:28,747
- We need a lead designer.
- Yeah.

352
00:12:28,747 --> 00:12:30,805
- We thought of you.
- [Lou] Yeah.

353
00:12:30,805 --> 00:12:31,920
It was just kinda hard

354
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,713
to find any real skaters in this town.

355
00:12:36,030 --> 00:12:39,570
Sorry, is this a contract for $400,000?

356
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:41,700
- You'd be the lead designer.
- Yeah.

357
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:43,200
- On a for-profit company.

358
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,000
- On a whole, yeah, skate
park, merch, boards.

359
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,703
We're interviewing a
few other people, too.

360
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:55,268
A couple of Apple guys.

361
00:12:55,268 --> 00:12:57,505
People who worked at Apple,
people who worked at-

362
00:12:57,505 --> 00:12:59,850
- Okay, so do you want
me to submit a portfolio

363
00:12:59,850 --> 00:13:01,350
or is this like an-

364
00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:03,050
Start with signing the contract.

365
00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:06,480
Here's the thing.

366
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,807
I do actually think it's realistic

367
00:13:08,807 --> 00:13:13,096
for a 21-year-old to look
at a contract for $400,000,

368
00:13:13,096 --> 00:13:18,096
and he goes, "Can I show
this to anybody first or?"

369
00:13:18,210 --> 00:13:20,460
100%. Do you need a lawyer?

370
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:22,320
We've got a guy, if you need help.

371
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Yeah, I don't have a lawyer.

372
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,590
- I would love-
- Oh yeah,

373
00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:26,048
I can connect you with a lawyer.

374
00:13:26,048 --> 00:13:27,620
Same guy who drew up the contract.

375
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:30,120
He can walk you through it.

376
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,470
[Ally] He's great.

377
00:13:31,470 --> 00:13:33,510
They say kind of

378
00:13:33,510 --> 00:13:36,989
if you keep it all in one
house, that's for the best.

379
00:13:36,989 --> 00:13:38,414
He wrote it, he can look at it.

380
00:13:38,414 --> 00:13:39,750
I'm so excited.

381
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:41,550
I'm so excited to get to work.

382
00:13:41,550 --> 00:13:42,960
I have so many, I have so many...

383
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,400
Listen, the guy,

384
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,267
because I talked to you about
the guys at Outer Ridge.

385
00:13:46,267 --> 00:13:47,100
- Of course.
- [Brennan] If this is

386
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:48,773
the kinda money you're throwing around,

387
00:13:50,491 --> 00:13:52,680
but is this something
that I could do remotely

388
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,240
or is this something that would be-

389
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,270
- Unfortunately, we're
looking for a local.

390
00:13:57,270 --> 00:13:58,920
We need someone who knows Purpee.

391
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,917
We need somebody, 'cause we are trying

392
00:14:00,917 --> 00:14:02,790
to build skate up here.

393
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:03,623
Yeah.

394
00:14:03,623 --> 00:14:04,456
[Lou] Build indie skate here.

395
00:14:04,456 --> 00:14:06,180
We gotta free this skate of Purpee.

396
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:07,448
Great.

397
00:14:07,448 --> 00:14:08,573
Well that's awesome.

398
00:14:08,573 --> 00:14:10,380
I'll do that.

399
00:14:10,380 --> 00:14:11,213
Yeah, man.

400
00:14:11,213 --> 00:14:12,210
I mean, I'll literally like,

401
00:14:12,210 --> 00:14:14,273
I'll send this to the lawyer and

402
00:14:14,273 --> 00:14:16,080
if they give thumbs-up, then I'm signing.

403
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,277
Literally, I'm ready.

404
00:14:17,277 --> 00:14:18,660
And the last thing I want to be

405
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:19,876
is a stumbling block.

406
00:14:19,876 --> 00:14:21,210
God, this is really... Sorry.

407
00:14:21,210 --> 00:14:22,043
What's going on, man?

408
00:14:22,043 --> 00:14:23,309
- This is just life-changing money.

409
00:14:23,309 --> 00:14:24,480
I mean, this is really
life-changing money.

410
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,820
Like, I don't come from a rich family

411
00:14:26,820 --> 00:14:28,530
or any- Like, this is just
really life-changing money.

412
00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:30,750
- Dude, when we first met you-
- Yep.

413
00:14:30,750 --> 00:14:33,210
- ...and your dog, Bingo-
- Yeah.

414
00:14:33,210 --> 00:14:34,980
...we knew you were special.

415
00:14:34,980 --> 00:14:37,440
We still think Bingo should run.

416
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,460
- For real?
- For real.

417
00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:39,510
For real, man.

418
00:14:39,510 --> 00:14:41,010
I think you'd do a great job

419
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:43,800
and if you had a solid source of income,

420
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,210
then you wouldn't have
to really worry about

421
00:14:45,210 --> 00:14:46,162
all that other stuff.

422
00:14:46,162 --> 00:14:47,520
Yeah, man. It's mostly Instagram stuff.

423
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Honestly, that might... I mean,
400K becomes 600K like that.

424
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,870
Yeah. Just ask the lawyer.

425
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:57,210
- Oh, you guys want
Bingo to... Okay, yeah.

426
00:14:57,210 --> 00:15:00,540
- I mean, if you wanted to
be the new Tina Bunders.

427
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:02,913
She makes around that, I think.

428
00:15:02,913 --> 00:15:04,313
I think so. Something like that.

429
00:15:04,313 --> 00:15:06,090
Do you? Yeah, Bingo...

430
00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:10,143
Like, honestly, whatever you
guys... If Bingo should be the-

431
00:15:11,795 --> 00:15:14,154
Would he be like the mascot
for the company or something?

432
00:15:14,154 --> 00:15:16,230
- No no, I think he'd be
the mayor for the town.

433
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:17,760
I think he would be the mayor.

434
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,320
We don't want to strong-arm you.

435
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,210
So you just,

436
00:15:22,426 --> 00:15:24,060
you just make up your own mind.

437
00:15:24,060 --> 00:15:27,330
But there's six figures that start

438
00:15:27,330 --> 00:15:29,700
with a six in it for you.

439
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:31,890
I'm so honored and grateful.

440
00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:34,964
And, and I like,

441
00:15:34,964 --> 00:15:36,660
I know that Bingo's very popular,

442
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:39,810
and you guys obviously have
stuff you wanna do in the town,

443
00:15:39,810 --> 00:15:42,810
but it's like, yeah, if you
want, if we should run Bingo

444
00:15:42,810 --> 00:15:44,790
for mayor, fuck it, fuck it, right?

445
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:45,654
Fuck it.

446
00:15:45,654 --> 00:15:47,438
Holy shit, are we fucking it?

447
00:15:47,438 --> 00:15:48,636
Are we fucking it?

448
00:15:48,636 --> 00:15:50,513
It sounds like two birds, one stone.

449
00:15:50,513 --> 00:15:52,500
Incredible mayor for the town,

450
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,620
and incredible new designer
for all of the boards

451
00:15:55,620 --> 00:15:57,030
and shirts and-

452
00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:58,320
Yeah, everything.

453
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,460
[Ally] Everything. Yeah.

454
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:00,720
Hell yeah. I love it.

455
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,553
I love it.

456
00:16:01,553 --> 00:16:02,386
Great. Done deal.

457
00:16:02,386 --> 00:16:04,860
Well here's our lawyer's number.

458
00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:07,020
I'll write it on the contract for you.

459
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:10,353
And you give him a call, see
what he thinks of the contract.

460
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,053
Yeah.

461
00:16:12,053 --> 00:16:13,350
- That he wrote.
- [Brennan] Great.

462
00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:14,430
And you get back to us.

463
00:16:14,430 --> 00:16:15,360
I'll get back to you guys.

464
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,148
You're not gonna regret
it. Thank you so much.

465
00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:18,257
- Yeah, of course man.
- Thank you so much.

466
00:16:18,257 --> 00:16:19,365
You wanna hang out?

467
00:16:19,365 --> 00:16:20,198
Sure. Yeah.

468
00:16:20,198 --> 00:16:21,031
Cool.

469
00:16:21,031 --> 00:16:21,868
Tyler?

470
00:16:21,868 --> 00:16:22,701
Tyler!

471
00:16:23,871 --> 00:16:25,263
(wind moving swiftly)

472
00:16:25,263 --> 00:16:26,550
(glass shattering)

473
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:28,020
- What's up?
- Wow.

474
00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:29,370
Can we get another round of tacos?

475
00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:30,477
You got it. Coming right up.

476
00:16:30,477 --> 00:16:32,130
And a little champagne.

477
00:16:32,130 --> 00:16:32,963
Ooh.

478
00:16:32,963 --> 00:16:35,024
- I like what you're
thinking. I like that.

479
00:16:35,024 --> 00:16:36,720
Tacos and champagne.

480
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,730
You see Tyler goes, "We got it."

481
00:16:38,730 --> 00:16:40,830
And you see he bends
down to Patty and says,

482
00:16:40,830 --> 00:16:42,480
"From Champagne, France.

483
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,463
Real deal."

484
00:16:43,463 --> 00:16:44,296
(Brennan pops his lips)

485
00:16:44,296 --> 00:16:47,128
And you see, he walks away and-

486
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,190
- Welcome to the company.
- [Ally] We're together, baby.

487
00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:51,690
Patty's just there in his cargo shorts

488
00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:54,301
and his hoodie just so fucking psyched.

489
00:16:54,301 --> 00:16:55,710
- [Ally] That's awesome.
- He's like, "Yeah.

490
00:16:55,710 --> 00:16:57,390
So, like, what kind of vibe?

491
00:16:57,390 --> 00:16:59,370
Like in terms of skate crews

492
00:16:59,370 --> 00:17:00,976
are you seeing? What do we want do?"

493
00:17:00,976 --> 00:17:04,800
- Dude, we're all about
independent, Purpee-based skating.

494
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,780
Yeah, and that Matthew McConaughey movie

495
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:08,250
is like from the Civil War, right?

496
00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:09,083
Yeah.

497
00:17:10,191 --> 00:17:11,057
Well, it's crazy.

498
00:17:11,057 --> 00:17:14,250
Do you have any ideas
for a more Purpee name?

499
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:17,073
Like something that
really brings in the town?

500
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:20,523
We broke Ally.

501
00:17:21,450 --> 00:17:22,283
They're done.

502
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:24,633
Stick a fork in them.

503
00:17:25,808 --> 00:17:30,242
- And I haven't seen
it, but that's so funny.

504
00:17:30,242 --> 00:17:31,642
- [Brennan] Yeah. It's
like, I'm pretty sure-

505
00:17:31,642 --> 00:17:33,600
- If there's a more Purpee name than-

506
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,490
It's about, I think it's about,

507
00:17:35,490 --> 00:17:36,750
it's about the guy,

508
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,910
the guy Jones, the character,

509
00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:40,650
he's a southern unionist.

510
00:17:40,650 --> 00:17:42,424
No, no, no. He's actually Confederate.

511
00:17:42,424 --> 00:17:44,700
He's a Confederate, but then he rebels

512
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:46,650
against the Confederacy because
he doesn't like the war.

513
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:48,240
And in rebelling against the Confederacy,

514
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,100
he joins with the slaves.

515
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,641
And in working with the
slaves, he repels the South.

516
00:17:55,196 --> 00:17:56,196
So maybe it's like,

517
00:17:56,196 --> 00:17:57,029
maybe it's like rebel,

518
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:58,950
like Rebel Purpee, Purpee Rebel.

519
00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:00,750
Or maybe it's like-

520
00:18:00,750 --> 00:18:02,383
How'd you do that?

521
00:18:02,383 --> 00:18:04,260
- [Lou] Holy fuck.
- That's such a good name.

522
00:18:04,260 --> 00:18:05,370
Rebel Purpee.

523
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:06,480
We will change it tomorrow.

524
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,500
We'll change it tomorrow.

525
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:08,333
Rebel Purpee.

526
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:10,650
I mean you've already... Look at you.

527
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:11,700
It's like, yeah.

528
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,520
Like, it's literally we're
sticking out 'cause like, "Obey,"

529
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,020
and this is like, "Don't."

530
00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:16,853
- Rebel.
- Wow.

531
00:18:16,853 --> 00:18:18,251
[Brennan] Rebel.

532
00:18:18,251 --> 00:18:19,928
Holy fuck. We found the right guy, dude.

533
00:18:19,928 --> 00:18:22,812
We found the right guy. Shot caller!

534
00:18:22,812 --> 00:18:25,020
He starts crying hard.

535
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:27,060
And you see Tyler starts
massaging his back

536
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:29,580
and he's like, "This is your future.

537
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:31,710
Remember this moment when the,

538
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:34,418
remember this moment when the ask comes.

539
00:18:34,418 --> 00:18:36,480
Remember this moment
and how good it felt."

540
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,890
He gives you a big thumbs-up, HJ.

541
00:18:37,890 --> 00:18:39,480
[Lou] Hell yeah.

542
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,190
Well, I'm gonna put on some Sum 41

543
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:42,588
and I think we just kinda hang.

544
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:44,014
♪ 'Cause I'm in too deep ♪

545
00:18:44,014 --> 00:18:45,680
(players laughing)

546
00:18:46,530 --> 00:18:48,600
- Great. Check that-

547
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,620
Check that off.

548
00:18:49,620 --> 00:18:52,053
Text the thread: "Dog acquired."

549
00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:54,720
And text Darkness Man separately.

550
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,840
"The name was changed.
It's now Rebel Purpee."

551
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,950
Where is Darkness Man?

552
00:18:58,950 --> 00:19:00,932
[Ally] Yeah, we can tell your bounding.

553
00:19:00,932 --> 00:19:02,190
- [Murph] I'm here.
- Bounding, bounding.

554
00:19:02,190 --> 00:19:03,450
You've covered a lot of ground.

555
00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:04,470
Yeah.

556
00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:06,360
That was the scariest conversation

557
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:08,228
I've ever seen in my life.

558
00:19:08,228 --> 00:19:11,250
I died when you Heely'd backwards

559
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,050
and intentionally fell.

560
00:19:13,050 --> 00:19:15,030
- If this happened when
I was 21, I'd be like,

561
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:16,461
"These guys are gonna kill me."

562
00:19:16,461 --> 00:19:18,885
(all laughing)

563
00:19:18,885 --> 00:19:20,730
I know they're not ripping him off,

564
00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:23,133
but this does feel like
he's getting ripped off.

565
00:19:24,180 --> 00:19:25,500
Hey, it's all good, dude.

566
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:27,343
He's gonna talk to the lawyer.

567
00:19:27,343 --> 00:19:29,040
The lawyer who wrote the contract.

568
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,270
I'm meeting in a sawmill

569
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,670
where for some reason
they've hired two food trucks

570
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:33,570
just for me.

571
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,452
I'm gonna be ritualistically killed.

572
00:19:38,452 --> 00:19:39,990
I'm gonna be killed in a ritual.

573
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:42,930
- Walking in, holding the
tacos into an open space

574
00:19:42,930 --> 00:19:45,720
filled with no one
except for the two of us.

575
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,230
Three $4,000 leather sofas

576
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:52,680
arranged in an abandoned
lumbermill covered in lit candles.

577
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Lit candles and red silk hanging.

578
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,903
- [Brennan] Red silk.
- So much Supreme shit.

579
00:19:59,370 --> 00:20:01,620
Half a million dollars worth of Supreme.

580
00:20:01,620 --> 00:20:03,203
- I'm wearing just an ill-fitted

581
00:20:03,203 --> 00:20:05,970
Supreme sweatsuit going, "What's up?"

582
00:20:05,970 --> 00:20:07,590
- I'm in a gorgeous three-piece suit,

583
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:09,047
but I am wearing Heelys.

584
00:20:10,626 --> 00:20:12,510
- And the Supreme on the back
of your three-piece suit.

585
00:20:12,510 --> 00:20:13,343
Yeah, yeah.

586
00:20:13,343 --> 00:20:14,670
- It wasn't David Byrne,
but it feels like could be.

587
00:20:14,670 --> 00:20:17,250
Yeah, yeah. A massive suit.

588
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:18,630
I think, Bat Child,

589
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:20,730
you've just discovered this at the end

590
00:20:20,730 --> 00:20:24,780
of your searching for the
Nancy Danderhoof article.

591
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:28,770
And discovered this information
as you guys get back

592
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:31,020
to 9 Shady Street.

593
00:20:31,020 --> 00:20:32,400
This is early in downtime.

594
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,900
We'll resolve everything else.

595
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:37,290
But earlier on in this
segment of downtime,

596
00:20:37,290 --> 00:20:40,290
you guys come back from
having secured Patty Babcock

597
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:42,987
and have this information.

598
00:20:42,987 --> 00:20:46,980
HJ, you're getting some texts,
by the way, from Amelia Brown

599
00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:49,680
who is commenting on
the document you shared

600
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,230
with her about plans for the bus route.

601
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:53,460
And you see that she's
beginning to respond

602
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:54,990
and saying, "You know
what's really interesting

603
00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:57,210
about this is we don't have to go

604
00:20:57,210 --> 00:20:58,620
to the town for these funds.

605
00:20:58,620 --> 00:21:01,235
There's a number of county
funds that actually exist

606
00:21:01,235 --> 00:21:04,020
that have been appropriated

607
00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:06,330
and are sitting in a
bank account unspent."

608
00:21:06,330 --> 00:21:07,890
So just basically going through it

609
00:21:07,890 --> 00:21:11,310
and she starts to rattle
off a lot of information

610
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:12,390
about the political-

611
00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:15,480
- Is this because her mom
was part of that bank?

612
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,313
Yeah.

613
00:21:18,570 --> 00:21:20,240
Potentially so, but she's like,

614
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,170
"This is the other stuff that we have."

615
00:21:22,170 --> 00:21:24,750
And Maya shoots you a text saying,

616
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:28,590
"HJ, love to know if you
ever wanna do a one-on-one

617
00:21:28,590 --> 00:21:31,560
or maybe a one-on-two with
me and Amelia to talk.

618
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,050
Really appreciated you big-upping her

619
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:36,357
and her ambitions for-"

620
00:21:36,357 --> 00:21:38,130
I mean, I think I gotta say yes.

621
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,600
I keep it friendly with her,

622
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,250
but I'm gonna let everybody know

623
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:43,500
because we know about that now, right?

624
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:45,030
- We're all aware of her.
- Yeah, I've told everyone

625
00:21:45,030 --> 00:21:46,102
You're back at 9 Shady Street,

626
00:21:46,102 --> 00:21:47,640
and you tell people about the Maya stuff?

627
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,510
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Cool, cool.

628
00:21:48,510 --> 00:21:52,380
So I let Amelia know about how

629
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:54,390
all the permits for the lanes

630
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:56,190
are just sitting there as well.

631
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:59,220
Like, everything is green
light except there's someone-

632
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:00,750
- These public hearings
that keep getting scheduled.

633
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:03,510
- These people are
definitely putting a stop

634
00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:04,343
to a lot of things,

635
00:22:04,343 --> 00:22:06,240
but that can be easily
changed if we get the right

636
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,290
people in there.

637
00:22:07,290 --> 00:22:08,123
Wink, wink.

638
00:22:08,123 --> 00:22:08,956
[Brennan] Hell, yeah.

639
00:22:08,956 --> 00:22:10,890
Also, you get a message from Amelia

640
00:22:10,890 --> 00:22:15,180
and talks about some
property at the edge of town,

641
00:22:15,180 --> 00:22:18,480
not too far from the
library and points out

642
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,030
and says, "Zoo?

643
00:22:21,030 --> 00:22:24,990
Please tell Vesper this
idea may not be as crazy

644
00:22:24,990 --> 00:22:27,420
as some people might
have led her to believe."

645
00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:28,253
I relay.

646
00:22:30,763 --> 00:22:32,313
I run to the plot.

647
00:22:33,660 --> 00:22:35,100
Sprinting to the plot,

648
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:38,490
you see that there is a large
plot at the edge of town,

649
00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:40,860
on the other side of Mine Road basically,

650
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:45,630
that looks like some farmland
that has been left fallow

651
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:47,280
for a couple years 'cause it's just not

652
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,020
super productive to plant.

653
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:50,993
And it's there by the cemetery, kind of?

654
00:22:50,993 --> 00:22:51,868
[Brennan] By the cemetery.

655
00:22:51,868 --> 00:22:52,701
Okay, cool.

656
00:22:54,355 --> 00:22:56,250
Fun! That's cool news.

657
00:22:56,250 --> 00:22:58,170
- It's amazing.
- This is our girl.

658
00:22:58,170 --> 00:23:01,170
I think she is gonna... She seems aligned.

659
00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:03,180
- You also get a note
from Helena being like,

660
00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:05,130
"Thank you so much for the
help with the finances.

661
00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:06,990
I think I'm gonna be
able to afford a car."

662
00:23:06,990 --> 00:23:07,823
Big thumbs-up.

663
00:23:07,823 --> 00:23:08,847
Wow. That's great.

664
00:23:08,847 --> 00:23:11,163
- [Brennan] From Amelia-
- We're getting a bus for her.

665
00:23:12,288 --> 00:23:13,665
[Siobhan] We got nine Bingo buses.

666
00:23:13,665 --> 00:23:15,219
Bingo bus is buying a car?

667
00:23:16,702 --> 00:23:18,303
Well, give her a bus.

668
00:23:18,303 --> 00:23:19,703
Yeah. Yeah.

669
00:23:19,703 --> 00:23:21,045
I don't know. I heart it.

670
00:23:21,045 --> 00:23:23,130
- Tell her not to be
public about the car thing,

671
00:23:23,130 --> 00:23:25,470
'cause we need the bus
thing for the story.

672
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,810
- [Lou] Can we- HJ, I know.
- We slash the tires.

673
00:23:27,810 --> 00:23:30,570
- I know you've been
reached out to by Maya.

674
00:23:30,570 --> 00:23:32,490
It does feel like there's a conversation

675
00:23:32,490 --> 00:23:34,860
- that we need to had there.
- Definitely does.

676
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:35,693
I love the zoo.

677
00:23:35,693 --> 00:23:38,191
I've always been pro
zoo. It's on the wall.

678
00:23:38,191 --> 00:23:39,660
I think it's gonna be pretty easy

679
00:23:39,660 --> 00:23:40,980
to get along with Amelia.

680
00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:45,330
It does feel like Maya
has some headbutting

681
00:23:45,330 --> 00:23:47,160
that she wants with us.

682
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,590
So I'm curious what she thinks

683
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:51,420
a two-on-one is gonna be like

684
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:53,290
with me if, like, I am the

685
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,470
pushover or something

686
00:23:55,470 --> 00:23:57,205
- in this room.
- What if it's a two-on-one

687
00:23:57,205 --> 00:24:00,300
but then Darkest Man is a
pile of trash in the corner?

688
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:02,070
- [Lou] Now, you know-
- I can actually be

689
00:24:02,070 --> 00:24:04,290
a moving pile of trash now.

690
00:24:04,290 --> 00:24:06,425
I demonstrate. I become trash.

691
00:24:06,425 --> 00:24:07,391
Just like-

692
00:24:07,391 --> 00:24:09,860
(all talking)

693
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:11,101
I'm just kicking the shit outta you.

694
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,025
It's me.

695
00:24:14,025 --> 00:24:15,450
I don't hate that play.

696
00:24:15,450 --> 00:24:16,553
Yeah, same. I would love that.

697
00:24:16,553 --> 00:24:17,811
If that works for you.

698
00:24:17,811 --> 00:24:19,261
- It might be something
that you could even

699
00:24:19,261 --> 00:24:20,640
just be super direct,

700
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,460
'cause for all we know this
is just everyone's defenses

701
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:26,320
are up and so there's
just a miscommunication.

702
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,810
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

703
00:24:27,810 --> 00:24:28,710
[Emily] You never know.

704
00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:30,330
And then if you're direct

705
00:24:30,330 --> 00:24:32,100
and you find out that it wasn't that,

706
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:34,260
then Darkness Man is a
moving pile of trash.

707
00:24:34,260 --> 00:24:35,940
Yeah. So fast.

708
00:24:35,940 --> 00:24:37,083
[Siobhan] So fast, so big, so ugly.

709
00:24:37,083 --> 00:24:38,130
Gee, stop.

710
00:24:38,130 --> 00:24:39,120
Sorry.

711
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:40,950
You make a date to see Maya

712
00:24:40,950 --> 00:24:43,080
and Amelia together with
Darkness Man kind of trailing?

713
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,230
- I guess I'll try one
more time to be like:

714
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:49,230
One-on-one, two-on-one sounds great.

715
00:24:50,563 --> 00:24:53,520
It would be nice to talk as a whole group.

716
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,603
How does that sound?

717
00:24:55,650 --> 00:24:57,737
You don't get a response to that.

718
00:24:57,737 --> 00:24:59,711
I write: Bitch.

719
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:02,940
- Hey, that's the old-

720
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:04,380
[Ally] We're the worst characters.

721
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:06,240
- Send me a text to
see if it goes through.

722
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,370
Oh, let me see. Hey.

723
00:25:08,370 --> 00:25:09,573
Ding, worked.

724
00:25:10,650 --> 00:25:11,483
Try me.

725
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,430
- I sent you a text.
Wait, what's your number?

726
00:25:14,430 --> 00:25:16,467
You don't have my number?

727
00:25:16,467 --> 00:25:18,992
Who have I been texting?

728
00:25:18,992 --> 00:25:20,402
[Ally] No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

729
00:25:20,402 --> 00:25:21,927
Okay, so she didn't respond to that.

730
00:25:21,927 --> 00:25:22,760
Yeah, okay.

731
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,750
So I guess Maya just doesn't,

732
00:25:24,750 --> 00:25:27,660
probably just doesn't trust
that we're buying stuff

733
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:32,100
and is trying to... Just
doesn't fully trust us yet.

734
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:35,160
- Best-case scenario, she
just thinks we're kind of bad

735
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,525
for buying her girlfriend's mom's house-

736
00:25:37,525 --> 00:25:39,853
- Which makes sense.
- ...that was ripped away.

737
00:25:39,853 --> 00:25:41,760
- Yeah, which is fair.
- At this point we have the,

738
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,200
we have Elysium, you know?

739
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,463
Is there a show of faith that...

740
00:25:45,463 --> 00:25:47,880
I mean, it's a good chip to have.

741
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,800
I'll say this, I'm a businessman.

742
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,213
Let's make a business deal.

743
00:25:52,182 --> 00:25:53,611
(Zac sputters)

744
00:25:53,611 --> 00:25:54,782
- Okay.
- I love that.

745
00:25:54,782 --> 00:25:55,710
LaVonte, you spent so much time

746
00:25:55,710 --> 00:25:58,200
making your perfectly white room so white.

747
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,720
Exactly. That's why, to give it up,

748
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,070
let's make a business deal.

749
00:26:02,070 --> 00:26:03,070
Let's make a business deal.

750
00:26:03,070 --> 00:26:04,286
We've invested some in the property.

751
00:26:04,286 --> 00:26:06,783
- Very much so. There's
a perfectly white room.

752
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:10,437
- Windowless, perfectly white.
- We've ruined a room.

753
00:26:10,437 --> 00:26:13,110
We tell Amelia 800,000 out the door.

754
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:15,630
She can have the house back.

755
00:26:15,630 --> 00:26:19,320
- Whoa, that's steep. I have
to say also, coming clean,

756
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,420
I think I might have turned
her childhood bedroom

757
00:26:21,420 --> 00:26:23,070
into an Elvis jungle room.

758
00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:24,990
That's what I did with my room.

759
00:26:24,990 --> 00:26:26,779
And I think it was her childhood bedroom.

760
00:26:26,779 --> 00:26:28,227
I'm sorry, Elvis jungle room.

761
00:26:28,227 --> 00:26:29,060
Elvis jungle room.

762
00:26:29,060 --> 00:26:29,893
Like Graceland?

763
00:26:29,893 --> 00:26:32,820
♪ There's a pretty little
thing waiting for the king ♪

764
00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:35,311
down in the jungle room ♪

765
00:26:35,311 --> 00:26:37,439
♪ We're walking in Memphis ♪

766
00:26:37,439 --> 00:26:38,655
He's got the prettiest voice.

767
00:26:38,655 --> 00:26:39,488
- That's a gorgeous-

768
00:26:39,488 --> 00:26:42,480
(Lou cackling)

769
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,680
Tones of Darkness Man.

770
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,513
Stop.

771
00:26:44,513 --> 00:26:45,600
We have to do karaoke.

772
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,433
[Murph] Stop.

773
00:26:46,433 --> 00:26:48,375
That moving pile of trash can sing.

774
00:26:49,710 --> 00:26:52,110
- Let's set- You should have this meet.

775
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,343
And one other thing,

776
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,746
did you disclose everything with us about-

777
00:26:56,746 --> 00:26:58,454
- Yeah, for sure.
Everything. I'm an open book.

778
00:26:58,454 --> 00:27:00,370
Does the Camarilla know that

779
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,670
the one member of the Camarilla
straight up has a Metr...

780
00:27:05,670 --> 00:27:09,270
Is she taking a cut on the side? Is this?

781
00:27:09,270 --> 00:27:11,100
- That would be incredible
if we discovered-

782
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:13,317
Ask your dude.

783
00:27:13,317 --> 00:27:14,995
(all talking)

784
00:27:14,995 --> 00:27:16,237
Would you call him?

785
00:27:16,237 --> 00:27:18,836
(all talking)

786
00:27:18,836 --> 00:27:20,550
- Blood daddy.
- Ask your blood daddy.

787
00:27:20,550 --> 00:27:22,050
Because there might have been a reason

788
00:27:22,050 --> 00:27:24,813
because she didn't mention any of that

789
00:27:24,813 --> 00:27:26,250
in front of all of us.

790
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:28,230
You're very right.

791
00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:31,710
- Yeah, just ask him. Text
him, call him, FaceTime him.

792
00:27:31,710 --> 00:27:32,790
- I don't want-

793
00:27:32,790 --> 00:27:33,720
[Siobhan] Send him a letter.

794
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,490
Everyone's gotta turn away.

795
00:27:35,490 --> 00:27:37,110
- All right.
- [Ally] All right.

796
00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:37,943
[Murph] Okay.

797
00:27:37,943 --> 00:27:38,881
We'll all leave.

798
00:27:38,881 --> 00:27:40,122
Do your trash thing.

799
00:27:40,122 --> 00:27:42,178
- Do my trash thing? Okay.
- [Zac] Gonna call him.

800
00:27:42,178 --> 00:27:44,379
[Brennan] The phone picks up.

801
00:27:44,379 --> 00:27:46,262
"Ah, Zaeth,

802
00:27:46,262 --> 00:27:48,090
my childe.

803
00:27:48,090 --> 00:27:50,343
How does this evening find you?"

804
00:27:50,343 --> 00:27:51,660
Evening's finding me great.

805
00:27:51,660 --> 00:27:53,940
We're actually making some moves.

806
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:56,462
That is very good to hear.

807
00:27:56,462 --> 00:27:57,978
I...

808
00:27:57,978 --> 00:28:00,353
Ermine is on her way

809
00:28:00,353 --> 00:28:02,100
to Purpee right now.

810
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:03,750
On her way right now?

811
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:07,140
- The article that came out,
there was a problem with it.

812
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:08,160
She's handling it.

813
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,383
- Fuck.
- Oh, how is she...

814
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:14,610
I don't care, but... I don't give a shit.

815
00:28:14,610 --> 00:28:17,940
But how is she handling
it, if I were curious?

816
00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:20,280
- She just mentioned to me
that she's going to handle it.

817
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,590
Was there there some sort of
Masquerade problem with it?

818
00:28:22,590 --> 00:28:23,945
Did you reveal something in there?

819
00:28:23,945 --> 00:28:25,800
- No, no, I'm just- I don't give a shit.

820
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,007
But how did she say-

821
00:28:27,007 --> 00:28:28,032
(Zac laughing)

822
00:28:29,198 --> 00:28:30,675
Like, I don't fucking care at all,

823
00:28:32,130 --> 00:28:33,393
but if I cared...

824
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:37,680
I don't... What is your question?

825
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,603
I'm saying I don't fucking care,

826
00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:42,480
but if I cared.

827
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,890
Great, that is established.

828
00:28:43,890 --> 00:28:45,000
You don't care.

829
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,106
- But if I- Okay, well,
speaking of Ermine...

830
00:28:49,106 --> 00:28:51,911
We just kind of realized some just,

831
00:28:51,911 --> 00:28:53,850
I don't even know if it
really matters to you,

832
00:28:53,850 --> 00:28:56,430
but it seems like she's taking...

833
00:28:56,430 --> 00:28:59,673
It seems like she's on payroll for Metr.

834
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,160
What?

835
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,470
- Yeah, she's like- There was an email

836
00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:07,710
that had her name at Metr.

837
00:29:07,710 --> 00:29:12,210
- She sent you email from
a Metr email account?

838
00:29:12,210 --> 00:29:14,520
- Sorry, one second. Wait,
who got the email from-

839
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,400
- Just say that you talked
to some business person

840
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,093
who said that she works there
and that they got an email.

841
00:29:21,630 --> 00:29:23,850
- You there?
- Yes, I still here.

842
00:29:23,850 --> 00:29:25,650
[Zac] Yeah, it doesn't even...

843
00:29:25,650 --> 00:29:27,090
I don't even really fucking remember,

844
00:29:27,090 --> 00:29:30,450
but I talked to some
business person from Metr,

845
00:29:30,450 --> 00:29:33,423
and they said they got an email from her

846
00:29:33,423 --> 00:29:35,340
that had her email address, yeah.

847
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:36,971
We have screenshots.

848
00:29:36,971 --> 00:29:38,599
- You have screenshots.
Say we have screenshots.

849
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:40,176
Yeah. I don't fucking give a shit,

850
00:29:40,176 --> 00:29:41,670
but we have screenshots.

851
00:29:41,670 --> 00:29:43,650
- We can't Airdrop them.
He's in a different town.

852
00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:45,960
Who gives a shit if he sees the emails?

853
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,340
Wait, who are the emails to?

854
00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:48,690
Inter Metr stuff.

855
00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:51,660
I'm getting some chatter in background.

856
00:29:51,660 --> 00:29:53,010
What- Zaeth?

857
00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:55,260
Can I get an Americano?

858
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:56,239
Yeah, sure.

859
00:29:57,330 --> 00:29:58,163
Do you want-

860
00:29:58,163 --> 00:30:00,780
- Why is LaVonte ordering
Americano from Darkness Man?

861
00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:05,577
- Excuse me, your bathroom
is broken, you foul bastard.

862
00:30:05,577 --> 00:30:07,920
My bathroom's not broken.

863
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,390
There's nothing wrong with my bathroom.

864
00:30:09,390 --> 00:30:12,287
- My screenplay is perfectly
fine without your help.

865
00:30:12,287 --> 00:30:13,470
Listen, Zaeth.

866
00:30:13,470 --> 00:30:15,600
Madelaine should not
be writing screenplay.

867
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,760
She should be working
on what has been led up.

868
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:18,760
God, you can hear well.

869
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,510
It's an open FaceTime.

870
00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:23,070
When you cover the phone with your hand,

871
00:30:23,070 --> 00:30:24,176
I'm still seeing your cheek.

872
00:30:24,176 --> 00:30:25,014
Oh, hey.

873
00:30:28,481 --> 00:30:29,601
My first iPhone.

874
00:30:31,110 --> 00:30:34,450
- Listen, everyone need
to button up, okay?

875
00:30:34,450 --> 00:30:37,983
- Okay. But I just
wanted to say two things.

876
00:30:39,210 --> 00:30:41,220
She's working for Metr.

877
00:30:41,220 --> 00:30:44,310
That's, like, outside of us
being buttoned up, that's just-

878
00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:46,175
Why you so sure of this?

879
00:30:46,175 --> 00:30:47,008
Here, this.

880
00:30:47,008 --> 00:30:48,480
Look.

881
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,198
Hold my phone up to yours.

882
00:30:50,198 --> 00:30:51,900
Do you want to send me this thing

883
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:54,360
- you have on this other phone?
- You want to hold it up.

884
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,984
- You see he-
- I saw the iPhone.

885
00:30:55,984 --> 00:30:57,780
- He screengrabs on
his side. Click, click.

886
00:30:57,780 --> 00:31:00,450
- We're looking into the
Whittakers and whatnot.

887
00:31:00,450 --> 00:31:02,635
And during our tech...

888
00:31:02,635 --> 00:31:03,468
You can take

889
00:31:03,468 --> 00:31:05,093
- the apron off.
- ...investigation.

890
00:31:05,093 --> 00:31:06,270
Sorry.

891
00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:08,580
During the tech investigation,

892
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:12,390
we hacked into some emails
and this is what we saw.

893
00:31:12,390 --> 00:31:14,160
We thought it was suspect.

894
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,797
- She's double dipping
in the piggy bucket.

895
00:31:16,797 --> 00:31:18,388
Exactly.

896
00:31:18,388 --> 00:31:19,740
In the piggy bucket.

897
00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:21,630
See he looks and says,

898
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:25,740
"Who is bumpyrogers@sundayscoop.org?"

899
00:31:25,740 --> 00:31:28,050
It's the editor of the Sunday Scoop.

900
00:31:28,050 --> 00:31:29,940
It's a highly coveted position.

901
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:31,860
I remember when he got the
position, everyone was like,

902
00:31:31,860 --> 00:31:32,757
"It should have been Nancy Danderhoof,

903
00:31:32,757 --> 00:31:34,050
but she's really too busy."

904
00:31:34,050 --> 00:31:35,670
We keep tabs on Bumpy

905
00:31:35,670 --> 00:31:38,670
because as keepers of the Masquerade,

906
00:31:38,670 --> 00:31:40,200
we know it's a bad idea

907
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,423
to have journalists know about vampires.

908
00:31:42,423 --> 00:31:43,406
Yeah. Yeah.

909
00:31:43,406 --> 00:31:45,317
- This is actually how
we're kind of running shit.

910
00:31:45,317 --> 00:31:49,935
- Zaeth, I'm gonna need a
Manipulation, Subterfuge.

911
00:31:49,935 --> 00:31:51,930
- Can I use my Wingman
ability in this moment?

912
00:31:51,930 --> 00:31:52,890
[Brennan] Yes, you can.

913
00:31:52,890 --> 00:31:53,970
[Lou] Please add four dice.

914
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:55,590
[Zac] Okay. I'm gonna Blood Surge.

915
00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:59,640
- [Emily] What about, I'm an
ingénue so I deflect blame.

916
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,833
- [Brennan] Yeah, you can
give another die to Zaeth.

917
00:32:01,833 --> 00:32:05,053
- Can I use my Melpominee
that is Awe through the phone?

918
00:32:05,053 --> 00:32:07,186
- [Brennan] Sure.
- Sorry. How many, how many?

919
00:32:07,186 --> 00:32:08,019
One from me.

920
00:32:08,019 --> 00:32:08,880
One from you.

921
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,050
[Brennan] Four from LaVonte.

922
00:32:10,050 --> 00:32:12,750
- And then if it's my full
Presence, it's three from me.

923
00:32:12,750 --> 00:32:14,910
Okay, you can get three from...

924
00:32:14,910 --> 00:32:16,920
you can get three dice
from Siobhan as well.

925
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,887
Okay.

926
00:32:17,887 --> 00:32:21,106
(dice rattling)

927
00:32:21,106 --> 00:32:22,798
That's my prince.

928
00:32:22,798 --> 00:32:24,600
My prince, my prince.

929
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,825
I'm just gonna Willpower.

930
00:32:26,825 --> 00:32:28,599
Just to see what we do.

931
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:30,510
That's a crit, baby.

932
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:32,640
It's a messy crit, right?

933
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,960
One of your crits is on a Hunger die?

934
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,793
[Zac] Yes.

935
00:32:34,793 --> 00:32:36,456
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's 11.

936
00:32:36,456 --> 00:32:38,460
I'm gonna need a Willpower roll

937
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:40,620
to avoid frenzy, difficulty of two.

938
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:42,090
And I should use the blood die.

939
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:43,380
- [Brennan] Yeah, you
should use the blood die.

940
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:44,213
Come on, now.

941
00:32:46,617 --> 00:32:47,925
- Got it.
- [Brennan] Got it.

942
00:32:47,925 --> 00:32:49,290
Okay. Incredible.

943
00:32:49,290 --> 00:32:51,325
You do not frenzy, but you can feel...

944
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:57,600
You can feel that Koschei's
status over you in this moment

945
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,210
and the fact that he is not immediately

946
00:33:00,210 --> 00:33:02,160
acquiescing is tough.

947
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,920
So, what did you roll for your Persuasion

948
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,570
or for your Manipulation, Subterfuge?

949
00:33:06,570 --> 00:33:07,800
- 11.
- [Brennan] 11 successes.

950
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,810
All right, so in this moment you managed

951
00:33:09,810 --> 00:33:12,303
to not frenzy. You get 11 successes.

952
00:33:14,370 --> 00:33:15,970
Guys, get the fuck outta here.

953
00:33:17,910 --> 00:33:21,187
I didn't know what a FaceTime was, okay?

954
00:33:21,187 --> 00:33:22,830
Okay, in this moment,

955
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:24,720
speaking to Koschei on this
high number of successes,

956
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,553
what do you do?

957
00:33:25,553 --> 00:33:27,870
As you can feel the rage kind
of building up as he's like,

958
00:33:27,870 --> 00:33:32,870
"What... So, okay, this
picture is from a newspaper.

959
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:34,020
Why you have access-"

960
00:33:34,020 --> 00:33:35,940
Why don't you trust me, man?

961
00:33:35,940 --> 00:33:37,800
Why don't you fuckin' trust me?

962
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,030
I'm coming to you and I'm being,

963
00:33:39,030 --> 00:33:42,240
I'm telling you something
about someone you work with.

964
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,740
I'm not making it up.

965
00:33:43,740 --> 00:33:45,810
They work for that company.

966
00:33:45,810 --> 00:33:48,783
What does it hurt to
follow up that lead, man?

967
00:33:51,090 --> 00:33:53,880
- There is nothing he can
say in response to that.

968
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,120
He goes, "I appreciate your loyalty

969
00:33:59,130 --> 00:34:02,730
because you must know
it takes great loyalty

970
00:34:02,730 --> 00:34:04,893
to do something this dangerous.

971
00:34:06,210 --> 00:34:11,130
You are snooping around one of
your elders in the Camarilla.

972
00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:14,763
If you are right, you have told
me something of great value.

973
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:20,728
Zaeth, whatever punishment
Purpee was supposed to be,

974
00:34:20,728 --> 00:34:22,320
(soft music)

975
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,353
you have proven your doubters wrong.

976
00:34:26,970 --> 00:34:29,013
You have stayed hungry, my childe."

977
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,223
He hangs up the phone.

978
00:34:33,450 --> 00:34:34,283
High five.

979
00:34:36,180 --> 00:34:38,730
That's my guy. That's my prince.

980
00:34:38,730 --> 00:34:39,563
That's my prince!

981
00:34:39,563 --> 00:34:41,670
- I could really tell
you didn't give a shit.

982
00:34:41,670 --> 00:34:44,130
Hey man, if he kills me then I'm dead.

983
00:34:44,130 --> 00:34:45,496
(Brennan laughing)

984
00:34:45,496 --> 00:34:47,670
- It seemed like for a moment
you really might give a shit,

985
00:34:47,670 --> 00:34:49,652
and then you just dug so deep.

986
00:34:49,652 --> 00:34:50,885
- [Ally] Yeah.
- I didn't fuckin' care.

987
00:34:50,885 --> 00:34:53,674
- I've never seen anybody
care less, and I'm French.

988
00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:55,560
(Brennan laughing)

989
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,470
- Yeah, it was like both your
hands were in the piggy pot

990
00:34:58,470 --> 00:35:00,610
and you wouldn't let go.

991
00:35:00,610 --> 00:35:03,360
- Do you think, Ermine is it?
- Yeah.

992
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,070
Is Ermine gonna kill Nancy Danderhoof?

993
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:05,903
Yeah.

994
00:35:05,903 --> 00:35:07,616
(all talking)

995
00:35:07,616 --> 00:35:08,931
We gotta go, yeah.

996
00:35:08,931 --> 00:35:11,340
- A few nights later, you
get a follow up from Maya

997
00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:16,020
basically being like, "Hey,
looking for that two-on-one.

998
00:35:16,020 --> 00:35:19,413
Amelia would also love if
Vesper came along as well."

999
00:35:20,250 --> 00:35:21,300
Can I just call her?

1000
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:22,133
[Brennan] Yeah, give her a call.

1001
00:35:22,133 --> 00:35:23,850
She picks up. "Hey, it's Maya."

1002
00:35:23,850 --> 00:35:25,590
[Ally] Hey, Maya.

1003
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:27,270
Can't help but notice,

1004
00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:28,890
you don't want to meet
with the whole group.

1005
00:35:28,890 --> 00:35:30,330
I'm looking forward to chatting

1006
00:35:30,330 --> 00:35:31,440
and getting on the same page,

1007
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,200
but I feel like there's something unsaid

1008
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,300
and I just... I love going into

1009
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,010
cahoots with you, and I just want it all

1010
00:35:41,010 --> 00:35:42,110
to be out in the open.

1011
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,063
There's a long pause.

1012
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,500
"HJ, I don't know how
safe it is to say this,

1013
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:51,750
but the reality is

1014
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:54,477
you and your Kindred are
living here in Purpee

1015
00:35:54,477 --> 00:35:56,100
and it's a very small town.

1016
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:58,980
So I need to be worried first and foremost

1017
00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:01,320
about the safety of
myself and my loved ones.

1018
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,770
What I can tell you is you
are in a divided house.

1019
00:36:04,770 --> 00:36:08,010
Your coterie is not working
to all of one purpose.

1020
00:36:08,010 --> 00:36:10,980
I can't share with you how I know that,

1021
00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:13,680
but I just want you to know

1022
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,860
that the idea

1023
00:36:16,860 --> 00:36:20,853
that has been floated in
our big group discussions

1024
00:36:20,853 --> 00:36:23,220
that you guys are a united front

1025
00:36:23,220 --> 00:36:26,340
that universally cares for
the well-being of Purpee,

1026
00:36:26,340 --> 00:36:27,805
that's not true.

1027
00:36:29,010 --> 00:36:31,290
I think you do."

1028
00:36:31,290 --> 00:36:32,880
Yes.

1029
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,092
So Childers can come

1030
00:36:36,092 --> 00:36:38,202
- and that's okay?
- Yeah.

1031
00:36:38,202 --> 00:36:39,890
Could Zaeth come?

1032
00:36:39,890 --> 00:36:42,060
(players laughing quietly)

1033
00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:44,700
- I've had a hard time
getting a bead on Zaeth,

1034
00:36:44,700 --> 00:36:45,690
I'm not gonna lie.

1035
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:48,420
He just kind of doesn't fucking care.

1036
00:36:48,420 --> 00:36:51,321
- Throwing a dumbbell in the
basement just to see how far.

1037
00:36:51,321 --> 00:36:52,351
[Ally] Throwing a dumbbell?

1038
00:36:52,351 --> 00:36:54,000
(Zac yelling)

1039
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,580
- Maya says, "Look, it's
possible that you're

1040
00:36:56,580 --> 00:36:58,500
deceiving me as well.

1041
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:00,630
And then that's egg on my face.

1042
00:37:00,630 --> 00:37:01,860
My instinct tells me

1043
00:37:01,860 --> 00:37:03,930
that you're coming from an honest place.

1044
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:06,960
So I'm trying to move from that position.

1045
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,970
And the truth is, you
guys have successfully

1046
00:37:08,970 --> 00:37:10,301
shaken things up in the town so much

1047
00:37:10,301 --> 00:37:12,090
that we have opportunities
we didn't use to have.

1048
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:14,748
I'd be a fool not to acknowledge that.

1049
00:37:14,748 --> 00:37:18,990
But the only thing I can say
is if you guys are united,

1050
00:37:18,990 --> 00:37:20,640
you are united behind something

1051
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,770
that you haven't said to me publicly,

1052
00:37:22,770 --> 00:37:24,420
and you are all deceiving me,

1053
00:37:24,420 --> 00:37:27,643
or some of your Kindred are
not telling you things."

1054
00:37:27,643 --> 00:37:29,433
I just... Maya...

1055
00:37:31,718 --> 00:37:34,380
I just need more information.

1056
00:37:34,380 --> 00:37:36,420
I think that we're all on the same page

1057
00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:41,420
and I want us all to meet and
get cracking on this campaign.

1058
00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:49,113
How about me, LaVonte,
Childers, and Zaeth?

1059
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:51,870
- [Brennan] You see, she looks at you and-

1060
00:37:51,870 --> 00:37:53,340
There's a pause and she says,

1061
00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:56,760
"If this is not an active
deception on your part right now

1062
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,340
and you are being honest in this,

1063
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:03,748
then let me take a risk and
speak to you in good faith.

1064
00:38:03,748 --> 00:38:05,898
LaVonte is the one you
need to worry about.

1065
00:38:07,132 --> 00:38:10,380
(tense music)

1066
00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:12,690
His future is not in Purpee

1067
00:38:12,690 --> 00:38:15,023
or at least not necessarily in Purpee.

1068
00:38:16,020 --> 00:38:17,130
And if he hasn't told you that,

1069
00:38:17,130 --> 00:38:21,600
then he is, if not lying,
obfuscating something from you.

1070
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,820
Someone looks me in the eye
and tells me they wanna build,

1071
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:26,700
you know, Rome here in Purpee,

1072
00:38:26,700 --> 00:38:29,010
and I find out later that that's not true?

1073
00:38:29,010 --> 00:38:31,890
It doesn't mean that I'm
hurt. I'm not offended.

1074
00:38:31,890 --> 00:38:35,310
But it means that it's not
all being dealt above board.

1075
00:38:35,310 --> 00:38:37,590
There are cards being
exchanged under the table,

1076
00:38:37,590 --> 00:38:39,000
and I have to take that seriously

1077
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,118
because I do love this
place and the people in it."

1078
00:38:42,118 --> 00:38:43,926
Okay, well, we will meet.

1079
00:38:45,018 --> 00:38:48,243
It'll just be me, Darkness Man,

1080
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,273
Childers.

1081
00:38:50,273 --> 00:38:52,050
Darkness Man wants to come?

1082
00:38:52,050 --> 00:38:53,829
Yeah actually. Actually, yeah.

1083
00:38:53,829 --> 00:38:54,662
What?

1084
00:38:56,430 --> 00:38:57,900
So it'll just be four of us.

1085
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,190
We'd love to hang out with you,

1086
00:38:59,190 --> 00:39:02,400
and if we're putting
our cards on the table,

1087
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,610
we heard from Nancy Danderhoof that you

1088
00:39:05,610 --> 00:39:09,450
made an 11th hour change to the article.

1089
00:39:09,450 --> 00:39:11,310
I didn't make a change.

1090
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:12,363
I made a...

1091
00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:16,080
I offered some information

1092
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,050
with the understanding
that I thought it would be

1093
00:39:19,050 --> 00:39:20,700
of interest to Nancy.

1094
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:22,710
I pointed out what I
thought the repercussions

1095
00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:25,680
of various angles on the paper would be.

1096
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,970
There was no compulsion.

1097
00:39:26,970 --> 00:39:28,980
I didn't twist her arm or anything.

1098
00:39:28,980 --> 00:39:31,530
But the reasons I had for doing that

1099
00:39:31,530 --> 00:39:36,530
are what I wanted to talk to
you about kind of one-on-one.

1100
00:39:37,162 --> 00:39:39,930
But, you know... But it's all,

1101
00:39:39,930 --> 00:39:41,400
you know, it's all whatever.

1102
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,830
So, it's all fine with me.

1103
00:39:43,830 --> 00:39:45,271
Let's set a time.

1104
00:39:45,271 --> 00:39:46,104
Yeah.

1105
00:39:46,104 --> 00:39:47,556
It'll be us five, you too.

1106
00:39:49,290 --> 00:39:54,290
- We'll do Vesper and
you and Darkness Man.

1107
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,943
Zaeth can come if he wants.

1108
00:39:55,943 --> 00:39:58,770
Again, Zaeth just hasn't
chatted me up too much.

1109
00:39:58,770 --> 00:39:59,684
Yeah, totally.

1110
00:39:59,684 --> 00:40:00,967
(Zac yells)
(dumbbell clanks)

1111
00:40:01,950 --> 00:40:03,900
- Look, I know that you
guys all work together

1112
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:05,910
and it's very probable that

1113
00:40:05,910 --> 00:40:09,300
you'll have to mention
that they're not invited.

1114
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:11,583
I understand that this is...

1115
00:40:12,750 --> 00:40:15,960
If this is already public
knowledge amongst your coterie

1116
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,260
that I want to speak to some
of you and not all of you,

1117
00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:21,270
then I imagine it's very hard to navigate,

1118
00:40:21,270 --> 00:40:24,000
and it's possible that you are,

1119
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,280
if you'll forgive me
saying this to someone

1120
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,400
that I believe is more than a century old,

1121
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,330
maybe there's a bit of naivete here.

1122
00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:36,090
Maybe you really have faith
or trust in your companions

1123
00:40:36,090 --> 00:40:38,040
and you're not dealing under the table.

1124
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:42,063
I just...

1125
00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:44,880
In all my years on this Earth,

1126
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,150
I do feel like hashing it out in person,

1127
00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:50,700
all cards on the table, you usually end up

1128
00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:52,440
with a better understanding of each other.

1129
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,833
So we'll show up, us, Madelaine,

1130
00:40:56,713 --> 00:40:58,050
Zaeth.

1131
00:40:58,050 --> 00:40:59,938
- Madelaine wants to come?
- Yeah.

1132
00:40:59,938 --> 00:41:02,550
(players laughing)

1133
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:03,383
[Brennan] Okay.

1134
00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:06,450
I'm not interested in that.

1135
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:09,533
Okay.

1136
00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:11,543
Okay.

1137
00:41:12,390 --> 00:41:14,183
I'm gonna need to get back to you,

1138
00:41:14,183 --> 00:41:15,278
- honestly.
- Yeah, I know.

1139
00:41:15,278 --> 00:41:16,111
That's all right.

1140
00:41:16,111 --> 00:41:19,860
Look, I think you found
something here in this place

1141
00:41:19,860 --> 00:41:22,020
and the thing you're looking for,

1142
00:41:22,020 --> 00:41:23,820
I'm interested in providing,

1143
00:41:23,820 --> 00:41:26,955
and there are things that your
companions are looking for

1144
00:41:26,955 --> 00:41:28,500
that I'm not interested in providing.

1145
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:30,093
But I think there are things...

1146
00:41:30,930 --> 00:41:32,070
If you're talking about things

1147
00:41:32,070 --> 00:41:34,530
that we've been able to do in this town,

1148
00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:36,222
you're talking about LaVonte.

1149
00:41:38,426 --> 00:41:39,780
(Brennan sighs)

1150
00:41:39,780 --> 00:41:42,900
I respect your loyalty, and

1151
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:46,440
you have issues in your house that I've

1152
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,333
explicated as much as I care to.

1153
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,973
My offer is not to speak
to the whole group of you

1154
00:41:51,973 --> 00:41:53,550
because I don't feel safe doing so.

1155
00:41:53,550 --> 00:41:55,967
So you let me know how
you want to speak to me.

1156
00:41:55,967 --> 00:41:59,430
- But the four sounded fine,
before we added Madelaine?

1157
00:41:59,430 --> 00:42:01,710
Yeah, I guess if Darkness Man and Zaeth

1158
00:42:01,710 --> 00:42:03,660
want to come, they can.

1159
00:42:03,660 --> 00:42:06,330
Vesper was really kind to Amelia.

1160
00:42:06,330 --> 00:42:09,390
Heard about the zoo, she's amped.

1161
00:42:09,390 --> 00:42:11,640
- Vesper was very kind
to my partner in a way

1162
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,000
that I was not able to sense
anything underhanded about.

1163
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,940
And you, in particular, I saw something

1164
00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:20,250
in that food co-op the
first time you came in

1165
00:42:20,250 --> 00:42:23,253
that led me to believe that
you are in a moment of-

1166
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:25,800
Whimsy.

1167
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:26,670
...whimsy.

1168
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:31,670
I did a reading and I found
you at a huge crossroads,

1169
00:42:31,770 --> 00:42:33,240
and I think some of your companions

1170
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,778
are very much not at a crossroads, HJ.

1171
00:42:36,778 --> 00:42:39,840
Mm. Okay, well this is interesting.

1172
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,207
Thanks for hopping on the phone with me.

1173
00:42:41,207 --> 00:42:44,400
I know your generation
doesn't really do that.

1174
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,140
Actually, I'm kind of more into it.

1175
00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:48,069
Oh cool. That's awesome.

1176
00:42:48,069 --> 00:42:49,470
Okay.

1177
00:42:49,470 --> 00:42:50,303
[Brennan] Be well.

1178
00:42:50,303 --> 00:42:51,136
Yeah.

1179
00:42:51,136 --> 00:42:52,410
And she, click, hangs up.

1180
00:42:52,410 --> 00:42:54,690
Beeline for LaVonte.

1181
00:42:54,690 --> 00:42:55,523
Yeah, dude.

1182
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,930
[Lou] Coffin slowly.

1183
00:42:57,930 --> 00:42:59,591
Heely down the stairs to LaVonte.

1184
00:42:59,591 --> 00:43:01,380
(Emily laughing)

1185
00:43:01,380 --> 00:43:02,405
I'm down here.

1186
00:43:02,405 --> 00:43:03,840
(dumbbell clanks)

1187
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,821
- Did someone fall down
the stairs really hard?

1188
00:43:05,821 --> 00:43:07,289
- No.
- Okay.

1189
00:43:07,289 --> 00:43:09,540
I just heard the loudest noise.

1190
00:43:09,540 --> 00:43:12,240
- [Brennan] I'll say this,
Madelaine, earlier that evening,

1191
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,420
you get a text from Ermine saying,

1192
00:43:15,420 --> 00:43:18,633
"I would like to see you and
LaVonte at Bud and Branch-

1193
00:43:19,562 --> 00:43:21,492
- Fuck.
- [Brennan] Right now."

1194
00:43:21,492 --> 00:43:22,325
Now?

1195
00:43:23,418 --> 00:43:24,936
Fuck. LaVonte.

1196
00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:25,769
Hmm?

1197
00:43:27,015 --> 00:43:28,048
(Siobhan mimics tapping on coffin)

1198
00:43:29,371 --> 00:43:30,446
(Lou mimics coffin opening)

1199
00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:32,990
Red light mask.

1200
00:43:34,260 --> 00:43:35,116
What's going on?

1201
00:43:35,116 --> 00:43:36,630
We're fucked.

1202
00:43:36,630 --> 00:43:41,630
- Oh, oh the nincompoop
wants to talk to us now?

1203
00:43:42,118 --> 00:43:45,030
You're the nincompoop. She's the bitch.

1204
00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:47,583
Whoever is whoever. I mean...

1205
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,433
Text back.

1206
00:43:51,510 --> 00:43:53,440
Text back we'll be there in 15.

1207
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,390
- Okay. I text back,
"We'll be there in 15,"

1208
00:43:57,390 --> 00:44:00,060
and then I take a picture of
the Yellow Pages that I found

1209
00:44:00,060 --> 00:44:03,545
and went, "Just so you know,
I've been working on it."

1210
00:44:03,545 --> 00:44:05,178
The 1991 Yellow Pages from

1211
00:44:05,178 --> 00:44:07,110
- Purpee, Oregon.
- From Purpee, Oregon.

1212
00:44:07,110 --> 00:44:07,943
- Evidence of my-

1213
00:44:07,943 --> 00:44:09,176
[Siobhan] Evidence, yes.

1214
00:44:09,176 --> 00:44:12,660
She does not respond to that message.

1215
00:44:12,660 --> 00:44:13,860
What do you think it is?

1216
00:44:13,860 --> 00:44:16,320
I think she's going to kill us.

1217
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,865
I think we should run to the hills.

1218
00:44:18,865 --> 00:44:19,809
No, no, no.

1219
00:44:19,809 --> 00:44:21,000
I think we either hide in the basement

1220
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,230
or run to the hills

1221
00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:25,650
or maybe tell the werewolf where she is.

1222
00:44:25,650 --> 00:44:26,483
No.

1223
00:44:26,483 --> 00:44:27,804
Or maybe tell the Bigfoot where she is.

1224
00:44:27,804 --> 00:44:29,100
Or maybe tell that big pine guy

1225
00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:31,947
with the big dick where she is.

1226
00:44:31,947 --> 00:44:34,341
No, she put you under her thumb.

1227
00:44:34,341 --> 00:44:36,052
The fact that she's texting you,

1228
00:44:36,052 --> 00:44:37,759
the fact that she's not just here.

1229
00:44:37,759 --> 00:44:39,150
The fact she wants to see you

1230
00:44:39,150 --> 00:44:41,853
and asked you to bring
me? I think we got her.

1231
00:44:42,810 --> 00:44:44,102
You think we got her?

1232
00:44:44,102 --> 00:44:45,360
Oh yeah.

1233
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,948
Can we bring Darkness Man?

1234
00:44:46,948 --> 00:44:48,210
I mean, if he'll play trash.

1235
00:44:48,210 --> 00:44:50,435
Darkness Man, you want to play trash?

1236
00:44:50,435 --> 00:44:51,377
Yeah.

1237
00:44:51,377 --> 00:44:53,490
(Ally and Brennan laughing)

1238
00:44:53,490 --> 00:44:55,684
- You hang out in the
white room, you're like-

1239
00:44:55,684 --> 00:44:57,180
- A white pile of trash.
- A white bag of trash.

1240
00:44:57,180 --> 00:44:58,230
[Ally] White trash.

1241
00:44:58,230 --> 00:44:59,063
Recycling.

1242
00:44:59,063 --> 00:44:59,896
White trash.

1243
00:44:59,896 --> 00:45:01,500
- Let's hop on the one
Bird scooter we have left.

1244
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:02,610
Okay, good.

1245
00:45:02,610 --> 00:45:05,160
Well should we gather everybody up?

1246
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,260
- Are we on patrol?
- Yeah.

1247
00:45:07,260 --> 00:45:10,020
We may or may not be about to die.

1248
00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:11,520
- Yes.
- No.

1249
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,880
With Darkness Man and Bat Child,
you're never about to die.

1250
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,530
You're about to be saved.

1251
00:45:16,530 --> 00:45:17,773
Yeah.

1252
00:45:17,773 --> 00:45:18,839
Ermine has reached out

1253
00:45:18,839 --> 00:45:22,170
and asked for a two-on-one with us.

1254
00:45:22,170 --> 00:45:23,003
Oh.

1255
00:45:23,003 --> 00:45:27,420
- Maybe we ask Helena to
close down Bud and Branch.

1256
00:45:27,420 --> 00:45:28,560
That's Helena's place, right?

1257
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,393
- [Lou] Yeah.
- Yeah.

1258
00:45:29,393 --> 00:45:33,187
- And we six-on-one murder her?

1259
00:45:33,187 --> 00:45:34,020
What?

1260
00:45:34,020 --> 00:45:35,580
No, we cannot murder her

1261
00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:38,340
because she's a representative
of a very dangerous

1262
00:45:38,340 --> 00:45:40,101
- organization.
- But we have- We know-

1263
00:45:40,101 --> 00:45:42,630
- And they know where she
is, and if we kill her-

1264
00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:44,340
There is nothing worse than a vampire

1265
00:45:44,340 --> 00:45:45,912
killing another vampire.

1266
00:45:45,912 --> 00:45:48,505
But, but hear me out.

1267
00:45:48,505 --> 00:45:49,655
Isn't there a handbook?

1268
00:45:49,655 --> 00:45:51,467
Why do these new people not know nothing?

1269
00:45:51,467 --> 00:45:52,733
Absolutely didn't read the handbook.

1270
00:45:52,733 --> 00:45:55,410
Only false vampire bats eat other bats.

1271
00:45:55,410 --> 00:45:56,640
Okay.

1272
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,783
Why don't we set the conditions
for her to try to kill us,

1273
00:46:02,304 --> 00:46:03,780
and then we kill her instead.

1274
00:46:03,780 --> 00:46:05,310
Yes, if she tries. If she raises

1275
00:46:05,310 --> 00:46:06,856
- a hand to us.
- If she tries to kill us,

1276
00:46:06,856 --> 00:46:09,660
we can kill her.

1277
00:46:09,660 --> 00:46:11,880
But maybe we need to video it as proof

1278
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,620
because she's much more powerful than us,

1279
00:46:13,620 --> 00:46:15,429
and she's maybe allowed to kill us.

1280
00:46:15,429 --> 00:46:19,050
- We can tell her that
we know what she's doing.

1281
00:46:19,050 --> 00:46:22,230
- I just don't think she's
gonna try to kill us this round.

1282
00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:23,885
She's probably gonna scare us.

1283
00:46:23,885 --> 00:46:26,610
- Well, why don't all of us go
there just in case she does,

1284
00:46:26,610 --> 00:46:28,380
'cause if only two people go,

1285
00:46:28,380 --> 00:46:29,787
she might try to kill you guys.

1286
00:46:29,787 --> 00:46:32,250
I think this is not a power play.

1287
00:46:32,250 --> 00:46:35,430
I think that she's in...
She needs something from us.

1288
00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:38,580
I don't know if Zaeth's
amazing call the other day

1289
00:46:38,580 --> 00:46:40,770
has set off some domino effect,

1290
00:46:40,770 --> 00:46:43,830
but I don't hate the idea
of everyone being there.

1291
00:46:43,830 --> 00:46:46,230
But I think we should start the meeting

1292
00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:47,490
like it's all good.

1293
00:46:47,490 --> 00:46:50,700
- Why don't we wait and
you have a distress signal,

1294
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:52,168
and we could come in if something goes

1295
00:46:52,168 --> 00:46:53,001
- wrong.
- Perfect.

1296
00:46:53,001 --> 00:46:54,810
- Because I could just
activate my mouth to the portal

1297
00:46:54,810 --> 00:46:56,520
to the abyss,

1298
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,910
and then if it goes bad, you
guys could just push her in.

1299
00:46:59,910 --> 00:47:03,840
- If I order a Chenin
Blanc, everyone crashes.

1300
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,286
I'm gonna forget that.

1301
00:47:05,286 --> 00:47:06,119
- I think it needs to
be something so loud,

1302
00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:07,620
'cause I think we have to be outside,

1303
00:47:07,620 --> 00:47:09,438
because we're noticeable.

1304
00:47:09,438 --> 00:47:11,547
I'm gonna... I am not... Can't remember.

1305
00:47:11,547 --> 00:47:14,078
If I order a Pinot Meunier.

1306
00:47:14,078 --> 00:47:15,247
- Again...
(players chattering)

1307
00:47:15,247 --> 00:47:17,053
Airtight, airtight. I'll get it.

1308
00:47:17,053 --> 00:47:19,230
I will hang out in the trash outside.

1309
00:47:19,230 --> 00:47:21,060
You just wave and I'll
signal the other people.

1310
00:47:21,060 --> 00:47:23,130
- All right, great. If we say "Yoo-hoo."

1311
00:47:23,130 --> 00:47:25,260
- If you guys order a
Yoo-hoo, I know that.

1312
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:26,093
Great.

1313
00:47:26,093 --> 00:47:27,702
- [Siobhan] Great.
- What if you want a Yoo-hoo?

1314
00:47:27,702 --> 00:47:28,596
What if you get there

1315
00:47:28,596 --> 00:47:30,419
and there's just an ice
cold Yoo-hoo within?

1316
00:47:30,419 --> 00:47:32,508
- Man, I haven't eaten
anything in over 40 years.

1317
00:47:32,508 --> 00:47:33,625
- I have never had a Yoo-hoo.

1318
00:47:33,625 --> 00:47:35,006
I do not want to know what it tastes like.

1319
00:47:35,006 --> 00:47:36,149
Ah, you're gonna love it.

1320
00:47:36,149 --> 00:47:37,670
We head to Bud and Branch.

1321
00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:39,061
- [Brennan] You guys
head to Bud and Branch.

1322
00:47:39,061 --> 00:47:41,040
I'd like everybody here to
give me Dexterity, Stealth,

1323
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,680
except for Madelaine and LaVonte.

1324
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,567
I've known her for a long time.

1325
00:47:45,567 --> 00:47:48,600
Would I know roughly
what her power set is?

1326
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,250
You've known her for a long time,

1327
00:47:50,250 --> 00:47:53,460
and you know that you've seen
her do a lot of crazy shit,

1328
00:47:53,460 --> 00:47:56,202
and you've probably got less
than half of what she can do.

1329
00:47:56,202 --> 00:47:58,650
The Tremere, they are the
masters of blood sorcery.

1330
00:47:58,650 --> 00:48:00,300
Like, they've got tricks.

1331
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:03,990
It's similar to Bat Child
in terms of a broad range

1332
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:06,753
of ceremonies and various stuff.

1333
00:48:06,753 --> 00:48:08,940
- I relay this to everybody
as we're going over there,

1334
00:48:08,940 --> 00:48:12,630
just to make sure everybody knows that

1335
00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:13,980
she could kill us all.

1336
00:48:13,980 --> 00:48:15,810
Like, this is a dangerous woman.

1337
00:48:15,810 --> 00:48:18,300
[Brennan] So you see LaVonte gearing up

1338
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:22,427
to head out of the house
as you just had that call.

1339
00:48:22,427 --> 00:48:24,491
Okay. Put a teabag in my mouth.

1340
00:48:25,830 --> 00:48:28,080
I want to sidebar with you later.

1341
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,213
Yeah. If we survive, happily.

1342
00:48:31,140 --> 00:48:32,610
What was our Stealth, Bat Child?

1343
00:48:32,610 --> 00:48:33,443
- Six.
- [Brennan] Six.

1344
00:48:33,443 --> 00:48:34,276
What was our Stealth here?

1345
00:48:34,276 --> 00:48:35,173
- I got an eight.
- [Brennan] Eight.

1346
00:48:35,173 --> 00:48:37,530
- I got a three, but I
do have Unseen Passage,

1347
00:48:37,530 --> 00:48:38,363
which means I'm-

1348
00:48:38,363 --> 00:48:39,780
It's like my Cloak of Shadows

1349
00:48:39,780 --> 00:48:42,528
but it's when moving, so if
someone's not watching me,

1350
00:48:42,528 --> 00:48:44,520
I'm supposed to be able to be, like, gone.

1351
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,680
Yeah. So you guys just sort of hang out.

1352
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,962
Are you hanging out in an
alley behind Bud and Branch?

1353
00:48:48,962 --> 00:48:52,830
- I think the idea is I am
in the trash near a window

1354
00:48:52,830 --> 00:48:54,150
so I can see if something goes wrong.

1355
00:48:54,150 --> 00:48:55,980
If something goes wrong, I warn these guys

1356
00:48:55,980 --> 00:48:57,120
who are down the street a bit,

1357
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,770
so it's not just a group of people

1358
00:48:58,770 --> 00:48:59,910
hanging out outside the restaurant.

1359
00:48:59,910 --> 00:49:01,860
I'd like to be hanging like a bat

1360
00:49:01,860 --> 00:49:04,460
from a lamppost near you,

1361
00:49:04,460 --> 00:49:06,873
so that I can fall to the
ground and drop my jaw.

1362
00:49:06,873 --> 00:49:08,081
So we're a little bit split up,

1363
00:49:08,081 --> 00:49:09,180
but we can all signal each other.

1364
00:49:09,180 --> 00:49:11,970
- I got a eight so I want to
try to get as close as I can.

1365
00:49:11,970 --> 00:49:13,380
I'll be in the Subaru.

1366
00:49:13,380 --> 00:49:14,213
[Brennan] Great.

1367
00:49:14,213 --> 00:49:15,124
You're parked in the car.

1368
00:49:15,124 --> 00:49:18,420
HJ, give me Wits, Awareness.

1369
00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:20,020
[Ally] Gonna Blood Surge.

1370
00:49:20,020 --> 00:49:21,420
- [Siobhan] Okay!
- [Ally] Okay!

1371
00:49:21,420 --> 00:49:23,190
That's four.

1372
00:49:23,190 --> 00:49:26,438
- [Brennan] HJ, you're parked
up the street a little bit.

1373
00:49:26,438 --> 00:49:28,620
You see that there is a black-

1374
00:49:28,620 --> 00:49:30,460
Driving with Heelys on?

1375
00:49:30,460 --> 00:49:33,810
- I never took the Heelys off
and the wheels are still in.

1376
00:49:33,810 --> 00:49:36,660
- You just see that there's
a black sedan rental car

1377
00:49:36,660 --> 00:49:37,500
that's parked on the street

1378
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:39,360
and there are two figures seated

1379
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,860
in the front and passenger seat

1380
00:49:40,860 --> 00:49:43,050
that are on the opposite
side facing the other way.

1381
00:49:43,050 --> 00:49:44,130
And you can't see faces,

1382
00:49:44,130 --> 00:49:45,480
but you can look through the windshield

1383
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:46,950
and see these two

1384
00:49:46,950 --> 00:49:49,003
and see them sort of sitting there,

1385
00:49:49,003 --> 00:49:50,703
perhaps looking at you as well.

1386
00:49:51,690 --> 00:49:54,390
- I think I text the
group chat about that,

1387
00:49:54,390 --> 00:49:57,158
but in as vague words as possible.

1388
00:49:57,158 --> 00:49:58,097
[Brennan] Gotcha.

1389
00:49:58,097 --> 00:50:00,060
Madelaine and LaVonte, you walk in.

1390
00:50:00,060 --> 00:50:01,890
Helena looks up and says,

1391
00:50:01,890 --> 00:50:03,779
"Mr. Worthy, good to see you."

1392
00:50:03,779 --> 00:50:05,010
[Lou] Good to see you as well.

1393
00:50:05,010 --> 00:50:07,323
- Welcome. Welcome.
- We're meeting a friend.

1394
00:50:08,970 --> 00:50:11,070
- "Yes, right this way.
Please come with me."

1395
00:50:11,070 --> 00:50:13,260
And on the stools on a high top,

1396
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:15,990
you see, again, black pencil skirt,

1397
00:50:15,990 --> 00:50:19,350
some sort of chopsticks
through a bun of hair.

1398
00:50:19,350 --> 00:50:22,950
You see, Ermine's rectangular
spectacles. Looks over

1399
00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:25,450
and says, "Well,

1400
00:50:26,323 --> 00:50:27,900
Madelaine, LaVonte, good to see you.

1401
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:28,733
Take a seat."

1402
00:50:28,733 --> 00:50:30,120
Good to see you as well.

1403
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,571
Give her the three French...

1404
00:50:31,571 --> 00:50:33,322
(Brennan kissing softly)

1405
00:50:33,322 --> 00:50:35,017
How was your trip up?

1406
00:50:35,017 --> 00:50:37,080
- Good, took a helicopter.
It was very speedy.

1407
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,820
- Lovely
- Fun.

1408
00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:39,660
But they had the rental car.

1409
00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:41,619
I had them drive up the
rental car before I got here.

1410
00:50:41,619 --> 00:50:42,719
Yeah, of course. Just in case.

1411
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:43,677
Just in case.

1412
00:50:44,910 --> 00:50:46,023
So,

1413
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,440
the article came out.

1414
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:50,756
LaVonte, have you talked

1415
00:50:50,756 --> 00:50:51,960
to Madelaine at all about the article?

1416
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,910
I think Madelaine mentioned that.

1417
00:50:53,910 --> 00:50:55,800
Yes, we tried our very best,

1418
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,050
but Danderhoof is the
best in the business.

1419
00:50:58,050 --> 00:50:59,100
- Little Pac-Man.
- The fact that

1420
00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:01,110
she hasn't won a Pulitzer is only because

1421
00:51:01,110 --> 00:51:02,580
she's not been campaigning for herself.

1422
00:51:02,580 --> 00:51:05,400
- So you mentioned the favor
that I asked for to LaVonte?

1423
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,643
Because he's helpful to me.

1424
00:51:07,643 --> 00:51:08,667
You think I can do these things on my-

1425
00:51:08,667 --> 00:51:10,245
Good, from now on I'll remind you both

1426
00:51:10,245 --> 00:51:13,330
that you are both in debt
to me, prestation debt.

1427
00:51:13,330 --> 00:51:16,110
Oh no.

1428
00:51:16,110 --> 00:51:17,685
[Brennan] A boon is owed to me.

1429
00:51:18,540 --> 00:51:20,970
- [Lou] Got it.
- And we are trying our best.

1430
00:51:20,970 --> 00:51:22,692
- When I ask for something-
- [Siobhan] Yes.

1431
00:51:22,692 --> 00:51:25,530
- ...based on this
obligation you owe to me,

1432
00:51:25,530 --> 00:51:27,063
secrecy will be assumed.

1433
00:51:27,990 --> 00:51:28,890
Understood?

1434
00:51:28,890 --> 00:51:30,240
Yes, absolutely.

1435
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:34,020
Now, the issue I'm having is

1436
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:36,540
I cashed in a boon.

1437
00:51:36,540 --> 00:51:38,070
Over the course of centuries,

1438
00:51:38,070 --> 00:51:39,240
this is the way that we have found

1439
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:40,560
to structure of vampiric society.

1440
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,360
It doesn't work any other way.

1441
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,970
Doubloons literally go bad.

1442
00:51:44,970 --> 00:51:47,670
Civilizations and empires
fall in the amount of time

1443
00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:49,650
that we have to do
business with each other.

1444
00:51:49,650 --> 00:51:51,270
So you can't rely on currency.

1445
00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:52,710
You have to rely on something deeper.

1446
00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:55,320
And for us, that's favors.

1447
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,640
My favor didn't happen,

1448
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,140
so I didn't get to cash it in, did I?

1449
00:51:58,140 --> 00:52:00,300
Well no, we worked really hard

1450
00:52:00,300 --> 00:52:01,650
on making the favor not happen,

1451
00:52:01,650 --> 00:52:03,229
but like I said, Nancy Danderhoof

1452
00:52:03,229 --> 00:52:04,337
is the best in the business.

1453
00:52:04,337 --> 00:52:05,400
She went to Hong Kong and she works

1454
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,840
for a local Omaha
business paper. She's not-

1455
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,690
Where's Nancy Danderhoof right now?

1456
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,743
She's constantly moving, I think.

1457
00:52:14,743 --> 00:52:15,780
I don't even know.

1458
00:52:15,780 --> 00:52:17,550
She's not even staying in one Airbnb.

1459
00:52:17,550 --> 00:52:18,840
She move around the city.

1460
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,181
Well, here's the issue, Mad.

1461
00:52:20,181 --> 00:52:21,453
I can't find her phone number.

1462
00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:26,073
Dan Danderhoof is maybe in the
tropics, but maybe he's not.

1463
00:52:27,251 --> 00:52:29,139
The issue we have right now is this,

1464
00:52:29,139 --> 00:52:31,710
that the sale can't go through.

1465
00:52:31,710 --> 00:52:32,850
Mm.

1466
00:52:32,850 --> 00:52:36,840
It is not possible for Metr right now

1467
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,301
to do business, at least here
in Purpee with the Whittakers

1468
00:52:39,301 --> 00:52:40,950
and at least not with public land,

1469
00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:44,880
which is necessary for
this deal to go through.

1470
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,100
We need to acquire that business park.

1471
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:49,800
And because the Whittakers are now tainted

1472
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:50,880
because you didn't stop the article

1473
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,533
from going through like I asked,

1474
00:52:53,790 --> 00:52:57,120
what's gonna happen, Mr. Worthy,

1475
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:01,080
is you're going to buy that business park.

1476
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:01,913
Oh.

1477
00:53:01,913 --> 00:53:04,650
And you are going to sell it to Metr.

1478
00:53:04,650 --> 00:53:06,270
Okay.

1479
00:53:06,270 --> 00:53:09,450
All right. Those are instructions.

1480
00:53:09,450 --> 00:53:11,040
And you're going to acquire

1481
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,790
the Caroline Vine Trailhead along with it.

1482
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:17,757
- I will point out, I
don't think the Whittakers

1483
00:53:17,757 --> 00:53:20,550
are that tainted because
we worked really hard

1484
00:53:20,550 --> 00:53:22,620
to make it that it was his bank business

1485
00:53:22,620 --> 00:53:24,300
that was the problem and
not the city council.

1486
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:25,133
And that was us.

1487
00:53:25,133 --> 00:53:27,423
That's worse, Madelaine.

1488
00:53:28,950 --> 00:53:30,718
- That's worse.
- No, it's better.

1489
00:53:30,718 --> 00:53:33,570
No, Madelaine, it's not better.

1490
00:53:33,570 --> 00:53:36,030
The credit union is where
the Whittaker wealth is held,

1491
00:53:36,030 --> 00:53:38,010
so the fact that that has
been pointed out to us

1492
00:53:38,010 --> 00:53:40,890
makes transacting with
that financial instrument-

1493
00:53:40,890 --> 00:53:42,033
Well, so they will want to sell

1494
00:53:42,033 --> 00:53:44,640
even more than they already do.

1495
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,190
Metr is a publicly traded company.

1496
00:53:47,190 --> 00:53:48,990
The board doesn't want to
do business with people

1497
00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:51,870
that have just been shamed
and embarrassed and disgraced.

1498
00:53:51,870 --> 00:53:53,460
You are an unknown entity.

1499
00:53:53,460 --> 00:53:55,680
You can buy it and then sell it again.

1500
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,570
- See, I think this is great
because you are asking me

1501
00:53:57,570 --> 00:54:00,390
to do things that are very
complicated and I'm quite stupid.

1502
00:54:00,390 --> 00:54:02,327
And if you ask LaVonte, he maybe can do-

1503
00:54:02,327 --> 00:54:06,330
- (dramatic music)
- You're not this stupid.

1504
00:54:06,330 --> 00:54:09,060
It's insulting for me

1505
00:54:09,060 --> 00:54:12,720
for you to hold yourself out
like a moron when you're not.

1506
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:14,490
You have been around for two centuries.

1507
00:54:14,490 --> 00:54:16,260
You figured something out.

1508
00:54:16,260 --> 00:54:18,493
I want results, not babbling.

1509
00:54:19,860 --> 00:54:21,300
Can I ask one question?

1510
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:26,300
I'm thrilled to be on board
and executing this plan.

1511
00:54:26,610 --> 00:54:29,765
Metr. How long have you worked there?

1512
00:54:32,468 --> 00:54:33,821
[Brennan] Give me...

1513
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:36,122
(players clapping)

1514
00:54:36,122 --> 00:54:37,258
Woo.

1515
00:54:37,258 --> 00:54:40,680
- [Brennan] Give me
Charisma and Intimidation.

1516
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,110
- [Ally] Can you add one for
the Heelys that he's wearing?

1517
00:54:43,110 --> 00:54:44,640
[Lou] Yeah. Can I add one?

1518
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,106
[Brennan] No Discipline powers here.

1519
00:54:46,106 --> 00:54:46,939
[Lou] Okay, great.

1520
00:54:46,939 --> 00:54:48,713
- [Brennan] This is raw
Charisma and Intimidation.

1521
00:54:50,340 --> 00:54:52,838
I'll Willpower two of them,

1522
00:54:52,838 --> 00:54:54,330
(dice rattling)

1523
00:54:54,330 --> 00:54:55,901
for two successes.

1524
00:54:55,901 --> 00:54:57,601
Okay, she looks at you and says,

1525
00:54:58,980 --> 00:55:00,713
"What makes you think I work at Metr?"

1526
00:55:01,860 --> 00:55:04,620
Well, you're talking about the board.

1527
00:55:04,620 --> 00:55:06,210
You seem to be

1528
00:55:06,210 --> 00:55:10,950
very involved in at least
a stake, I'm assuming.

1529
00:55:10,950 --> 00:55:13,000
Given your stature,
probably significantly.

1530
00:55:13,860 --> 00:55:15,930
There are a lot of stakeholders in Metr.

1531
00:55:15,930 --> 00:55:17,370
It's a publicly traded company,

1532
00:55:17,370 --> 00:55:18,963
unlike Wingstreet and Worthy.

1533
00:55:19,890 --> 00:55:21,450
Very exciting.

1534
00:55:21,450 --> 00:55:23,400
I heard you just made a recent hire.

1535
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:24,316
We did.

1536
00:55:24,316 --> 00:55:26,970
- Half a million dollars to a
21-year-old in cargo shorts.

1537
00:55:26,970 --> 00:55:29,280
That's pretty impressive.
He must be thrilled.

1538
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:34,280
- You should see his
designs. Rebel- (laughing)

1539
00:55:36,059 --> 00:55:38,250
(Lou laughing)

1540
00:55:39,870 --> 00:55:44,870
Rebel Purpee will put
this city on the map.

1541
00:55:45,870 --> 00:55:47,220
Can I use my Sense the Unseen?

1542
00:55:47,220 --> 00:55:49,053
Is there anything happening with her

1543
00:55:49,053 --> 00:55:53,518
that I might be able to
see sort of psychically?

1544
00:55:53,518 --> 00:55:54,493
Do you want to try to use

1545
00:55:54,493 --> 00:55:57,030
one of your Discipline
abilities here in this moment?

1546
00:55:57,030 --> 00:55:59,670
Well, Sense the Unseen is just on.

1547
00:55:59,670 --> 00:56:00,503
[Brennan] Yes.

1548
00:56:00,503 --> 00:56:04,290
- So it's not really me using
it so much as I have it.

1549
00:56:04,290 --> 00:56:07,950
- You get a premonition here.
- Oh.

1550
00:56:07,950 --> 00:56:10,000
[Brennan] You see Ermine

1551
00:56:10,891 --> 00:56:12,720
staring, naked,

1552
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:14,970
blood streaming from her eyes,

1553
00:56:14,970 --> 00:56:18,780
a shattered world behind her

1554
00:56:18,780 --> 00:56:22,980
as the sun supernovas
and devours the planet.

1555
00:56:22,980 --> 00:56:26,640
And you see her screaming in terror

1556
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:31,170
and you see her clutching
something like a mother figure.

1557
00:56:31,170 --> 00:56:33,000
And you see that this woman

1558
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,360
that is surrounding her is composed

1559
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,590
of flowing numerals of ones and zeros

1560
00:56:40,590 --> 00:56:44,160
and is embracing her as she
weeps into its shoulder.

1561
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,030
And as it turns,

1562
00:56:45,030 --> 00:56:47,422
you see Davis Otherman's face.

1563
00:56:47,422 --> 00:56:49,110
(Brennan mimics electricity sparking)

1564
00:56:49,110 --> 00:56:51,403
"I will never let that happen."

1565
00:56:52,830 --> 00:56:55,140
And when you consume the world,

1566
00:56:55,140 --> 00:56:57,930
then what will there be
to eat for the rest of us?

1567
00:56:57,930 --> 00:57:01,413
- She turns to look at you
and look at you and says,

1568
00:57:04,410 --> 00:57:05,718
"I'm calling in a debt.

1569
00:57:08,190 --> 00:57:10,470
Am I being told

1570
00:57:10,470 --> 00:57:11,940
to my face

1571
00:57:11,940 --> 00:57:14,733
that that request is being refused?"

1572
00:57:17,670 --> 00:57:22,263
- I think that the request
is too shortsighted,

1573
00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:26,820
and we would request that
there is another way to do this

1574
00:57:26,820 --> 00:57:27,753
that is more...

1575
00:57:30,810 --> 00:57:32,760
let's say holistic.

1576
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,503
My heart is beating in my chest.

1577
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,110
That maybe we don't
destroy the town of Purpee,

1578
00:57:40,110 --> 00:57:41,510
which is what this would do,

1579
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,123
but instead build it up to feed on it.

1580
00:57:46,101 --> 00:57:47,820
Purpee,

1581
00:57:47,820 --> 00:57:48,840
the town-

1582
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,248
Yes.

1583
00:57:50,248 --> 00:57:52,548
...doesn't matter.

1584
00:57:53,850 --> 00:57:57,030
The people here don't matter.

1585
00:57:57,030 --> 00:57:59,820
Their lives don't matter.

1586
00:57:59,820 --> 00:58:02,700
Their dreams don't matter.

1587
00:58:02,700 --> 00:58:07,700
And your fondness for
them does not matter.

1588
00:58:08,460 --> 00:58:10,770
No. Here is where you mistake me.

1589
00:58:10,770 --> 00:58:12,600
I do not care about these people.

1590
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,670
I do not care about their lives.

1591
00:58:14,670 --> 00:58:16,383
I agree they are not important,

1592
00:58:18,390 --> 00:58:21,450
but why kill a thing that we are eating?

1593
00:58:21,450 --> 00:58:22,680
"I don't have the time to explain

1594
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,450
the laws of entropy to you.

1595
00:58:24,450 --> 00:58:27,963
I hope that you can get
to Australia in time."

1596
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,620
And she stands up from the table

1597
00:58:31,620 --> 00:58:33,960
and says, "I'm being told

1598
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,960
that my debt will not
be remunerated to me.

1599
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,510
Am I hearing the same from you?"

1600
00:58:40,976 --> 00:58:42,690
Can we step outside for a second?

1601
00:58:42,690 --> 00:58:45,810
She says, "Anything you can say to me,

1602
00:58:45,810 --> 00:58:47,760
you can say in front of Madelaine here."

1603
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,773
I think we can do it. I can do it.

1604
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,040
I think we should celebrate.

1605
00:58:56,460 --> 00:58:57,293
Helena?

1606
00:58:58,830 --> 00:59:00,159
Can I get a Yoo-hoo?

1607
00:59:00,159 --> 00:59:01,415
(Murph laughing)

1608
00:59:01,415 --> 00:59:02,431
(Zac mimics glass shattering)

1609
00:59:02,431 --> 00:59:04,839
(Brennan laughing)

1610
00:59:04,839 --> 00:59:06,090
(Zac hissing)

1611
00:59:06,090 --> 00:59:06,923
Wait, we can't.

1612
00:59:06,923 --> 00:59:09,415
We don't wanna attack other
people in there, right?

1613
00:59:09,415 --> 00:59:13,080
- I guess we just get ready.
- I am on a lamppost.

1614
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,530
I am gonna Touch of
Oblivion my jaw to break it

1615
00:59:16,530 --> 00:59:18,600
so that I can get my mouth even bigger,

1616
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,960
and then turn my mouth
into a portal to the abyss

1617
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,770
and I'm ready to just land on her.

1618
00:59:22,770 --> 00:59:23,940
Oh, Mousetrap style.

1619
00:59:23,940 --> 00:59:24,773
[Emily] Yeah.

1620
00:59:24,773 --> 00:59:26,461
Mousetrap style.

1621
00:59:26,461 --> 00:59:28,080
(ominous music begins)

1622
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,985
"You are a coward, and you are a boob.

1623
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,430
Goodbye.

1624
00:59:35,430 --> 00:59:38,790
You have ended your unlife here tonight."

1625
00:59:38,790 --> 00:59:41,250
And she proceeds to walk out of the bar.

1626
00:59:41,250 --> 00:59:44,730
When she walks out, can I descend?

1627
00:59:44,730 --> 00:59:48,612
It's a big steel marble falls.

1628
00:59:48,612 --> 00:59:50,320
(Emily breathing in oblivion)

1629
00:59:51,330 --> 00:59:53,634
- Yeah. And I'll leap
out and I'll try to help.

1630
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:56,580
Unbelievable.

1631
00:59:56,580 --> 00:59:58,830
Okay, everybody roll Wits and

1632
00:59:58,830 --> 01:00:00,480
- Awareness for me.
- Oh my god.

1633
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,040
[Brennan] Roll Wits and Awareness.

1634
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:07,040
On the street, outside Bud and
Branch, it is 7:30 at night.

1635
01:00:07,860 --> 01:00:09,570
Everybody else in Purpee is asleep.

1636
01:00:09,570 --> 01:00:11,280
It's 7:30 at night.

1637
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,630
I'm literally just gonna land on her

1638
01:00:12,630 --> 01:00:13,609
and then you can be like,

1639
01:00:13,609 --> 01:00:15,588
"Oh no, this girl fell from a tree."

1640
01:00:15,588 --> 01:00:17,540
(dice clicking)

1641
01:00:17,540 --> 01:00:19,910
I'm gonna Blood Surge because
I think it's important.

1642
01:00:19,910 --> 01:00:21,060
[Ally] We asked for the restaurant

1643
01:00:21,060 --> 01:00:22,410
to be closed down, didn't we?

1644
01:00:22,410 --> 01:00:23,243
No.

1645
01:00:23,243 --> 01:00:24,677
- [Ally] I thought that was
the thought at one point.

1646
01:00:24,677 --> 01:00:26,856
- Well, it was pretty quick.
- Yeah, we had 15 minutes.

1647
01:00:26,856 --> 01:00:29,040
- But hey, we waited
until she was outside.

1648
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,450
- [Ally] That's great.
- Who got a five

1649
01:00:30,450 --> 01:00:32,130
or higher on their Wits, Awareness?

1650
01:00:32,130 --> 01:00:33,960
Okay, Bat Child you are gonna go first,

1651
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,155
followed by Darkness Man.

1652
01:00:35,155 --> 01:00:38,820
- Okay, I'm just gonna wait
until she's underneath me

1653
01:00:38,820 --> 01:00:40,200
and then I'm gonna fall.

1654
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:41,628
- [Murph] If there's any way we could-

1655
01:00:41,628 --> 01:00:42,461
Like Mousetrap.

1656
01:00:42,461 --> 01:00:44,520
- If there's any way I could
go before her, I could hold,

1657
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,020
try to hold her for Bat Child.

1658
01:00:46,020 --> 01:00:46,980
[Emily] Yeah.

1659
01:00:46,980 --> 01:00:49,410
- So if you want to hold
for Darkness Man to go,

1660
01:00:49,410 --> 01:00:50,670
you can try to grapple her.

1661
01:00:50,670 --> 01:00:52,951
- [Murph] Right.
- So let's do that.

1662
01:00:52,951 --> 01:00:54,930
(Lou laughing)

1663
01:00:54,930 --> 01:00:56,853
I'm just popping out of the trash.

1664
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,050
Launch out of the trash to grab her.

1665
01:01:01,050 --> 01:01:03,150
- [Brennan] Okay, go ahead
and roll Strength plus Brawl.

1666
01:01:03,150 --> 01:01:04,784
- [Murph] And I could add
Potence to that, right?

1667
01:01:04,784 --> 01:01:05,775
- [Brennan] You can add
Potence to that as well.

1668
01:01:05,775 --> 01:01:07,320
[Murph] Okay, I'm gonna Blood Surge.

1669
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:08,793
She's definitely so strong.

1670
01:01:10,050 --> 01:01:10,883
Okay.

1671
01:01:10,883 --> 01:01:13,230
I get a Hunger. All right.

1672
01:01:13,230 --> 01:01:16,233
So, two for Blood Surge,

1673
01:01:17,435 --> 01:01:19,650
three for Potence,

1674
01:01:19,650 --> 01:01:21,960
four for Brawl.

1675
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,860
I also have a specialty in high ground.

1676
01:01:25,860 --> 01:01:27,630
Could I have just been on a higher perch?

1677
01:01:27,630 --> 01:01:28,800
Yeah, absolutely.

1678
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,663
- I'll add-
- On the top of the trash can.

1679
01:01:30,663 --> 01:01:31,496
...that.

1680
01:01:31,496 --> 01:01:32,550
[Lou] Guy's on top of the trash can.

1681
01:01:32,550 --> 01:01:35,142
- Four for Strength. I'm
on top of the dumpster.

1682
01:01:36,660 --> 01:01:38,310
All right, let's see what I can do here.

1683
01:01:38,310 --> 01:01:40,703
Is it contested, or this is just...

1684
01:01:40,703 --> 01:01:42,052
- That's a beautiful
handful of dice there.

1685
01:01:42,052 --> 01:01:42,885
Its own thing?

1686
01:01:42,885 --> 01:01:43,934
(many dice rattling)

1687
01:01:43,934 --> 01:01:45,840
- Come on, Murph.
- [Siobhan] Come on, Murph.

1688
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,343
Don't roll like me.

1689
01:01:49,710 --> 01:01:53,463
Ooh, that looks pretty
good. Not many crits. Okay.

1690
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,580
Seven,

1691
01:01:56,580 --> 01:01:58,470
eight, nine,

1692
01:01:58,470 --> 01:02:00,000
10.

1693
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,747
And then I'll Willpower
and add three more,

1694
01:02:02,747 --> 01:02:04,339
or re-roll three.

1695
01:02:06,210 --> 01:02:08,310
And that's 11.

1696
01:02:08,310 --> 01:02:10,645
We're not killing anyone, all right?

1697
01:02:10,645 --> 01:02:11,611
To be clear.

1698
01:02:11,611 --> 01:02:12,936
- Oh, we aren't? The portal can-

1699
01:02:12,936 --> 01:02:14,310
- [Murph] We're gonna
put her in the portal.

1700
01:02:14,310 --> 01:02:15,621
Yeah, exactly.

1701
01:02:15,621 --> 01:02:16,740
- Yeah. We just don't know
what happens in there.

1702
01:02:16,740 --> 01:02:17,760
Yeah, exactly.

1703
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,290
- Well, I mean, she might
just kill us even if we...

1704
01:02:20,290 --> 01:02:22,530
- [Brennan] Okay, so what
did you roll to grapple?

1705
01:02:22,530 --> 01:02:24,120
- 11.
- [Brennan] You rolled 11.

1706
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,150
You grapple her effortlessly.

1707
01:02:26,150 --> 01:02:27,233
Okay.

1708
01:02:27,233 --> 01:02:29,145
You put your arms around her.

1709
01:02:29,145 --> 01:02:30,090
As you grapple her,

1710
01:02:30,090 --> 01:02:32,220
she only rolls one success to resist.

1711
01:02:32,220 --> 01:02:34,722
And you see as you jump
and grab her, she goes,

1712
01:02:34,722 --> 01:02:36,180
(chuckling)
"Oh."

1713
01:02:36,180 --> 01:02:37,844
And-

1714
01:02:37,844 --> 01:02:39,990
We're so fucked.

1715
01:02:39,990 --> 01:02:43,440
- She sees you, looks up
to see you descending.

1716
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,827
And she goes, "This better kill me."

1717
01:02:45,827 --> 01:02:48,300
(Emily laughing)

1718
01:02:48,300 --> 01:02:49,725
- Oh my-

1719
01:02:49,725 --> 01:02:53,242
(all laughing)

1720
01:02:54,161 --> 01:02:56,219
(Emily mumbling indistinctly)

1721
01:02:58,005 --> 01:03:00,510
So I'm gonna let you know, she goes next.

1722
01:03:00,510 --> 01:03:02,250
Sprinting down the street,

1723
01:03:02,250 --> 01:03:04,980
you see coming towards you from far away,

1724
01:03:04,980 --> 01:03:07,470
Nancy Danderhoof is running full tilt,

1725
01:03:07,470 --> 01:03:09,750
looking up at you doing this.

1726
01:03:09,750 --> 01:03:11,850
Bat Child, it is your turn.

1727
01:03:11,850 --> 01:03:14,130
- [Emily] Okay.
- Ermine will act next.

1728
01:03:14,130 --> 01:03:16,380
Mouth as wide as it possibly can.

1729
01:03:16,380 --> 01:03:17,730
[Brennan] Yep.

1730
01:03:17,730 --> 01:03:20,910
Plummeting like a stalactite falling.

1731
01:03:20,910 --> 01:03:21,743
Tight to the ceiling.

1732
01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:24,060
With my mouth open.

1733
01:03:24,060 --> 01:03:27,450
The sound of a vortex descending upon her.

1734
01:03:27,450 --> 01:03:28,380
[Brennan] Great.

1735
01:03:28,380 --> 01:03:33,380
You are going to be rolling
Resolve plus Oblivion.

1736
01:03:33,690 --> 01:03:34,560
[Emily] Okay.

1737
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:35,670
[Brennan] How many dice is that?

1738
01:03:35,670 --> 01:03:38,516
- [Emily] Seven. And
I'm gonna Blood Surge.

1739
01:03:38,516 --> 01:03:39,367
[Brennan] Okay.

1740
01:03:40,384 --> 01:03:42,180
Sweet. Don't take a Hunger.

1741
01:03:42,180 --> 01:03:46,680
- Does my 11 grapple apply
to her at all as a Help?

1742
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:47,610
Can I give her a couple?

1743
01:03:47,610 --> 01:03:51,337
- The 11... the 11 is gonna
add another two dice to this.

1744
01:03:52,267 --> 01:03:54,447
You are rolling 11 dice.

1745
01:03:54,447 --> 01:03:56,476
Now, the first thing I'm gonna do

1746
01:03:56,476 --> 01:03:58,407
is tell you the difficulty.

1747
01:03:58,407 --> 01:03:59,240
Fuck.

1748
01:04:00,540 --> 01:04:02,400
You're rolling 11 dice.

1749
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,320
The difficulty is seven.

1750
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,554
We're gonna roll in the Box of Doom.

1751
01:04:06,554 --> 01:04:09,272
- LaVonte, staring out the
window of Bud and Branch,

1752
01:04:09,272 --> 01:04:11,130
watching this happen.

1753
01:04:11,130 --> 01:04:12,232
You're the mayor of crit city.

1754
01:04:12,232 --> 01:04:13,620
[Ally] You use this moment to say

1755
01:04:13,620 --> 01:04:14,943
that you're still inside.

1756
01:04:16,350 --> 01:04:19,525
You need seven successes on 11 dice.

1757
01:04:19,525 --> 01:04:21,177
Okay.

1758
01:04:21,177 --> 01:04:22,377
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Put 'em on.

1759
01:04:22,377 --> 01:04:23,210
- [Siobhan] Put 'em on.
- You have to.

1760
01:04:23,210 --> 01:04:24,834
- Everyone put 'em on.
- [Lou] Everyone put 'em on.

1761
01:04:24,834 --> 01:04:26,352
Everyone put 'em on.

1762
01:04:26,352 --> 01:04:28,044
We need seven successes.

1763
01:04:28,044 --> 01:04:29,520
And do we get to use Willpower?

1764
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:30,900
- You can use Willpower
here, that's correct.

1765
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:31,756
Yeah, I will.

1766
01:04:31,756 --> 01:04:33,135
- But remember, you cannot
re-roll Hunger dice.

1767
01:04:33,135 --> 01:04:34,293
Yeah, I know.

1768
01:04:34,293 --> 01:04:37,087
(dice rattling)
(ominous music)

1769
01:04:37,087 --> 01:04:38,170
[Emily] We have four.

1770
01:04:38,170 --> 01:04:39,003
Oh my god.

1771
01:04:39,003 --> 01:04:40,530
So all the Willpowers have to hit?

1772
01:04:40,530 --> 01:04:42,005
One of them's a crit.

1773
01:04:42,005 --> 01:04:43,397
(all talking)

1774
01:04:43,397 --> 01:04:44,670
If you get a crit, then we do it.

1775
01:04:44,670 --> 01:04:45,840
- Oh my-

1776
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,720
- Four successes on the board.
We're re-rolling three dice.

1777
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,160
[Ally] Yeah.

1778
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,716
[Emily] Oh my god.

1779
01:04:51,716 --> 01:04:53,133
I didn't get it.

1780
01:04:53,133 --> 01:04:56,010
- Four successes. We're
gonna roll our last two dice.

1781
01:04:56,010 --> 01:04:58,203
You need seven.

1782
01:04:59,340 --> 01:05:02,430
Nancy Danderhoof, running down the street,

1783
01:05:02,430 --> 01:05:06,750
raises a hand as she sees you
falling from the lamppost.

1784
01:05:06,750 --> 01:05:10,067
And she looks at you and
goes, "Little Miss Batman.

1785
01:05:11,369 --> 01:05:13,536
Get those cherries."

1786
01:05:13,536 --> 01:05:15,564
(Brennan munching like Pac-Man)

1787
01:05:15,564 --> 01:05:17,097
(Emily demonically mimics Pac-Man)

1788
01:05:17,097 --> 01:05:20,890
You may re-roll your
Willpower dice in this moment.

1789
01:05:22,033 --> 01:05:23,410
[Ally] Come on.

1790
01:05:23,410 --> 01:05:24,482
Yes!

1791
01:05:24,482 --> 01:05:27,757
(all cheering)

1792
01:05:28,604 --> 01:05:32,357
- So now it's four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine!

1793
01:05:32,357 --> 01:05:34,650
Nine successes!

1794
01:05:34,650 --> 01:05:37,643
Zealotry to make it a messy critical.

1795
01:05:38,994 --> 01:05:41,281
Your mouth gets so enormous.

1796
01:05:41,281 --> 01:05:42,306
A big bow.

1797
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,288
- An enormous bow. As
you fall, your mouth-

1798
01:05:47,288 --> 01:05:48,480
(Brennan mimics stretching sound)

1799
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,080
and it just falls like a
fucking traffic cone on-

1800
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,430
(Brennan mimics impact)

1801
01:05:53,430 --> 01:05:57,960
Your teeth smack into
the cement as, fucking,

1802
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,090
as Ermine is- Like, you have to

1803
01:06:00,090 --> 01:06:02,034
get out the way at the last second,

1804
01:06:02,034 --> 01:06:03,559
to let her just-

1805
01:06:03,559 --> 01:06:04,740
(Brennan mimics impact)

1806
01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:08,880
It's crazy because Bat Child
is much smaller than Ermine.

1807
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,220
So it's literally a fucking magic trick

1808
01:06:11,220 --> 01:06:13,410
of just Ermine is gone,

1809
01:06:13,410 --> 01:06:16,680
as Bat Child's face hits the pavement.

1810
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,890
After you hit, Ermine
is nowhere to be seen.

1811
01:06:19,890 --> 01:06:22,470
Did anyone get three
successes on initiative,

1812
01:06:22,470 --> 01:06:23,303
on Wits and Awareness?

1813
01:06:23,303 --> 01:06:24,750
Oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got three.

1814
01:06:24,750 --> 01:06:27,180
So that was five. Four was Ermine.

1815
01:06:27,180 --> 01:06:28,013
Anyone else get four?

1816
01:06:28,013 --> 01:06:28,846
I got one.

1817
01:06:28,846 --> 01:06:31,198
- You got one? Okay.
As they run up, you see

1818
01:06:31,198 --> 01:06:32,880
both of the ghouls in the front seat

1819
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,930
of the town car kick
out from the front seats

1820
01:06:36,930 --> 01:06:38,790
and begin to open fire on-

1821
01:06:38,790 --> 01:06:40,140
I try to hit them with the car.

1822
01:06:40,140 --> 01:06:41,313
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
(tires squealing)

1823
01:06:41,313 --> 01:06:42,404
You hit top gear.

1824
01:06:42,404 --> 01:06:44,763
They're gonna fire on
Vesper in this moment.

1825
01:06:45,790 --> 01:06:49,028
- I'm still, like, legs in the
air, teeth to the pavement.

1826
01:06:49,028 --> 01:06:51,390
- Oh god, the teeth to the
pavement. Are you all right?

1827
01:06:51,390 --> 01:06:53,430
[Brennan] Jesus Christ.

1828
01:06:53,430 --> 01:06:56,340
11 damage to Vesper.

1829
01:06:56,340 --> 01:06:57,540
Oh my god.

1830
01:06:58,573 --> 01:07:01,010
- [Brennan] You can roll
Dexterity to dodge some of it.

1831
01:07:01,010 --> 01:07:03,870
Is it Aggravated or Superficial?

1832
01:07:03,870 --> 01:07:05,280
- [Brennan] It's Superficial,
so it will be halved.

1833
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,558
- [Emily] And it's just
Dexterity that you roll?

1834
01:07:07,558 --> 01:07:09,804
If you have Celerity, you can add it.

1835
01:07:09,804 --> 01:07:11,552
But yeah, this is just gonna be Dexterity.

1836
01:07:11,552 --> 01:07:12,448
Okay.

1837
01:07:13,590 --> 01:07:14,670
- Nothing.
- [Brennan] Nothing.

1838
01:07:14,670 --> 01:07:18,420
You take 11 points of bullet damage

1839
01:07:18,420 --> 01:07:20,810
halved because to you,
it's non Aggravated.

1840
01:07:20,810 --> 01:07:22,500
So that's five points of damage.

1841
01:07:22,500 --> 01:07:23,430
What's your health?

1842
01:07:23,430 --> 01:07:26,070
So I was gonna ask, in our downtime,

1843
01:07:26,070 --> 01:07:28,050
did we heal that last Aggravated-

1844
01:07:28,050 --> 01:07:29,058
You did not heal that last Aggravated.

1845
01:07:29,058 --> 01:07:31,590
- Okay, so then I'm fully
down 'cause I had four health.

1846
01:07:31,590 --> 01:07:33,630
You see one of them takes a shot,

1847
01:07:33,630 --> 01:07:36,742
blows the back of
Vesper's head off. Torpor.

1848
01:07:36,742 --> 01:07:39,270
Another one is gonna fire
right at you, Darkness Man.

1849
01:07:39,270 --> 01:07:41,730
Go ahead and give me
either Stamina, Fortitude

1850
01:07:41,730 --> 01:07:42,563
or Dex, Celerity.

1851
01:07:42,563 --> 01:07:44,504
[Murph] Just do the Stamina.

1852
01:07:44,504 --> 01:07:45,479
(die rattles)

1853
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,870
- Critical fail.
- [Brennan] Critical fail.

1854
01:07:48,870 --> 01:07:50,280
- Bestial failure?
- [Murph] Bestial failure.

1855
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,260
You fully breach the Masquerade.

1856
01:07:52,260 --> 01:07:53,520
You take two points of damage,

1857
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,050
halved to one point of
damage from the bullet

1858
01:07:55,050 --> 01:07:56,220
as it grazes you.

1859
01:07:56,220 --> 01:07:58,200
Your mask comes off as
they go for a headshot,

1860
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,930
and your full mandibles
are exposed on the street.

1861
01:08:00,930 --> 01:08:05,220
This is a potential breach
of the Masquerade right here.

1862
01:08:05,220 --> 01:08:08,250
This is happening- There's
people 15 feet away

1863
01:08:08,250 --> 01:08:10,363
in Bud and Branch who are hearing gunshots

1864
01:08:10,363 --> 01:08:12,180
and starting to scream.

1865
01:08:12,180 --> 01:08:13,260
As they're firing at you,

1866
01:08:13,260 --> 01:08:15,660
leaping in front of you
is Nancy Danderhoof,

1867
01:08:15,660 --> 01:08:19,470
who takes a pearl-handled
revolver out of her purse

1868
01:08:19,470 --> 01:08:21,315
and is gonna fire on one of the ghouls.

1869
01:08:21,315 --> 01:08:23,940
Danderhoof, you're full of surprises.

1870
01:08:23,940 --> 01:08:25,710
She's gonna burn Willpower.

1871
01:08:25,710 --> 01:08:26,670
Damn right, she is.

1872
01:08:26,670 --> 01:08:27,716
[Ally] Yeah, she is.

1873
01:08:27,716 --> 01:08:28,911
Danderhoof crits.

1874
01:08:29,970 --> 01:08:32,610
Danderhoof, straight
through the collarbone,

1875
01:08:32,610 --> 01:08:34,440
out the back of the neck
of one of the ghouls,

1876
01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:36,420
hits the ground unconscious.

1877
01:08:36,420 --> 01:08:39,360
Did anyone here get two Wits
and Awareness successes?

1878
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,870
Okay, Madelaine and LaVonte,
you are both still indoors

1879
01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:44,280
as you're hearing this noise.

1880
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:45,330
I would like to turn

1881
01:08:45,330 --> 01:08:47,190
to the people of the restaurant and say:

1882
01:08:47,190 --> 01:08:49,200
You see what is happening out here?

1883
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:53,070
This is because of the current
city council and mayor.

1884
01:08:53,070 --> 01:08:55,380
And luckily we are announcing tonight,

1885
01:08:55,380 --> 01:08:58,920
Helena and Bingo the dog
are going to be running

1886
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,810
for city council and mayor,

1887
01:09:00,810 --> 01:09:04,353
and we are going to end the
violence in the city of Purpee.

1888
01:09:04,353 --> 01:09:06,673
(all laughing)

1889
01:09:06,673 --> 01:09:11,040
- Go ahead and give me
Charisma, Persuasion,

1890
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,590
and it is gonna be difficulty eight.

1891
01:09:13,590 --> 01:09:17,327
- I will Wingman you and give
you four additional dice.

1892
01:09:17,327 --> 01:09:18,660
- [Siobhan] Great.
- So funny.

1893
01:09:18,660 --> 01:09:20,699
The second gunshots happen-

1894
01:09:20,699 --> 01:09:22,291
(players laughing)

1895
01:09:22,291 --> 01:09:23,520
- Someone hears- (gunshots)

1896
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,993
and you go, "The violence in this city-"

1897
01:09:25,993 --> 01:09:27,738
(players laughing)

1898
01:09:27,738 --> 01:09:29,648
- [Siobhan] Four of these,
and can I use my Awe?

1899
01:09:29,648 --> 01:09:30,630
[Brennan] You can use your Awe.

1900
01:09:30,630 --> 01:09:31,463
[Siobhan] Great.

1901
01:09:31,463 --> 01:09:33,540
(dice rattling)

1902
01:09:33,540 --> 01:09:34,413
Okay.

1903
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:39,390
Four, five, six, seven, eight,

1904
01:09:39,390 --> 01:09:41,340
nine, 10, 11.

1905
01:09:41,340 --> 01:09:42,870
- Oh my god.
- Got it.

1906
01:09:42,870 --> 01:09:44,550
[Brennan] You see that one of the guys,

1907
01:09:44,550 --> 01:09:46,860
as you say that, stands up and says,

1908
01:09:46,860 --> 01:09:48,390
"This French lady's right.
(dramatic music)

1909
01:09:48,390 --> 01:09:49,590
We gotta-" Bang, and suddenly

1910
01:09:49,590 --> 01:09:51,120
a bullet comes through
the window and grazes him

1911
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,330
and he goes, "Fuck. The
gun violence in this town

1912
01:09:54,330 --> 01:09:57,177
is a huge- Fuck! Is a huge problem."

1913
01:09:57,177 --> 01:10:01,680
- And we are looking for, today,
people to sign up to canvas

1914
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:05,883
and to phone bank for Helena
and for Bingo the dog.

1915
01:10:06,736 --> 01:10:08,798
I think we might be doing Amelia now.

1916
01:10:09,690 --> 01:10:11,250
Or maybe Amelia, no.

1917
01:10:11,250 --> 01:10:12,361
Helena goes, "What?"

1918
01:10:12,361 --> 01:10:14,454
(Emily laughing)

1919
01:10:14,454 --> 01:10:16,980
- I got 11 successes.
Helena, you're running.

1920
01:10:16,980 --> 01:10:18,480
- You see that someone
else stands up and says,

1921
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:19,560
"Let's hash this out.

1922
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:20,730
Are we voting for-
(bullet firing)

1923
01:10:20,730 --> 01:10:24,300
Fuck! Are we voting for
Helena or- Fuck! Amelia?"

1924
01:10:24,300 --> 01:10:26,010
I say, why not both?

1925
01:10:26,010 --> 01:10:27,210
Get the Douglases out.

1926
01:10:27,210 --> 01:10:28,350
Get the Whittakers out.

1927
01:10:28,350 --> 01:10:30,360
They are the real drain on this city.

1928
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:34,150
- Yeah, let's vote for more
people than is on the ballot.

1929
01:10:36,207 --> 01:10:37,527
Hell yeah.

1930
01:10:37,527 --> 01:10:39,300
- HJ, that's gonna be you.
You're gonna surge forward.

1931
01:10:39,300 --> 01:10:42,292
Go ahead and give me Dexterity, Drive.

1932
01:10:42,292 --> 01:10:43,566
Okay, great.

1933
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,260
What's the difficulty?

1934
01:10:46,260 --> 01:10:48,144
- [Brennan] Oh.
- Can they add Beauty?

1935
01:10:48,144 --> 01:10:49,658
- The more successes you
get, the more damage you do.

1936
01:10:49,658 --> 01:10:51,885
- Can they add Beauty to it?
- Can I add Beauty?

1937
01:10:51,885 --> 01:10:53,120
How much Drive do you have?

1938
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:54,314
(quietly) Zero.

1939
01:10:54,314 --> 01:10:55,305
How much Dexterity do you have?

1940
01:10:55,305 --> 01:10:56,505
- One.
- [Brennan] One.

1941
01:10:56,505 --> 01:10:57,960
- He hasn't been on
anything but a Bird scooter.

1942
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,820
[Brennan] Roll your Hunger die.

1943
01:10:59,820 --> 01:11:00,653
Blood Surge.

1944
01:11:00,653 --> 01:11:01,590
[Brennan] Okay, great. Blood Surge.

1945
01:11:01,590 --> 01:11:03,595
I get a huge Hunger,

1946
01:11:03,595 --> 01:11:05,070
which actually adds a dice,

1947
01:11:05,070 --> 01:11:06,153
so it's kind of nice.

1948
01:11:06,153 --> 01:11:07,650
- [Brennan] Hell yeah.
- Now I'm rolling two dice.

1949
01:11:07,650 --> 01:11:08,483
[Brennan] Yeah, great.

1950
01:11:08,483 --> 01:11:10,049
I surge forward.

1951
01:11:10,049 --> 01:11:11,899
- You get two extras.
- Oh!

1952
01:11:11,899 --> 01:11:13,165
[Emily] One you'll be rolling.

1953
01:11:13,165 --> 01:11:14,040
Oh, yeah yeah.

1954
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:15,224
[Brennan] And roll another one.

1955
01:11:15,224 --> 01:11:16,449
Oh no, you're right.

1956
01:11:16,449 --> 01:11:17,282
You're right. Yeah, yeah.

1957
01:11:17,282 --> 01:11:18,990
Okay.

1958
01:11:18,990 --> 01:11:20,670
- Oh, nice.
- That's three.

1959
01:11:20,670 --> 01:11:22,200
[Brennan] Three successes. Great.

1960
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,810
So, you hit drive. You
don't know how to drive.

1961
01:11:24,810 --> 01:11:27,555
You've had a chauffeur, so
you kind of figure it out.

1962
01:11:27,555 --> 01:11:29,280
You're 120 years old.

1963
01:11:30,390 --> 01:11:33,060
- One of the ghouls has just
seen the other one get shot

1964
01:11:33,060 --> 01:11:35,820
and killed by Nancy Danderhoof
in the middle of the street

1965
01:11:35,820 --> 01:11:37,290
and turns around.

1966
01:11:37,290 --> 01:11:40,620
The guy who he had spotted
and knows is there,

1967
01:11:40,620 --> 01:11:42,870
turns the car on, buckles his seatbelt,

1968
01:11:42,870 --> 01:11:45,420
turns windshield wipers on, the lights on,

1969
01:11:45,420 --> 01:11:48,300
and cruises out at a
hot seven miles an hour.

1970
01:11:48,300 --> 01:11:50,460
Runs him over for...

1971
01:11:50,460 --> 01:11:51,810
Brights on?

1972
01:11:51,810 --> 01:11:53,311
Brights on.

1973
01:11:53,311 --> 01:11:55,770
- He blinds him more
than he runs him over.

1974
01:11:55,770 --> 01:11:57,780
- And you see, you sort of
roll over and he goes, "Fuck,"

1975
01:11:57,780 --> 01:12:00,150
and rolls up onto the hood
and rolls off the side.

1976
01:12:00,150 --> 01:12:01,891
- Got him.
- Hurt.

1977
01:12:01,891 --> 01:12:02,824
Got him.

1978
01:12:02,824 --> 01:12:03,973
I keep driving.

1979
01:12:03,973 --> 01:12:06,372
(players laughing)

1980
01:12:06,372 --> 01:12:07,500
HJ, where are you going?

1981
01:12:07,500 --> 01:12:10,050
- I'm gonna turn around.
Everyone meet in the alley.

1982
01:12:10,050 --> 01:12:11,879
Put them in the car.

1983
01:12:11,879 --> 01:12:13,045
Zaeth, that's you.

1984
01:12:13,045 --> 01:12:16,413
- I drop down. Ghorse, step on
the guy on the ground's head.

1985
01:12:18,973 --> 01:12:21,046
I'm just gonna run at the guy

1986
01:12:21,046 --> 01:12:22,410
who's still standing and attack them.

1987
01:12:22,410 --> 01:12:23,790
Great. Go for it.

1988
01:12:23,790 --> 01:12:26,760
So, I'm rolling Dex plus Brawl?

1989
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,105
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Does that make sense? Okay.

1990
01:12:29,940 --> 01:12:33,930
Ooh. Two successes, two Bestial failures.

1991
01:12:33,930 --> 01:12:35,700
- He's gonna roll four
dice to resist this.

1992
01:12:35,700 --> 01:12:38,200
If he's able to resist it,
it will be a Bestial failure.

1993
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:40,980
He crits and rolls four successes.

1994
01:12:40,980 --> 01:12:42,155
(Zac yells)

1995
01:12:43,260 --> 01:12:44,670
He is so fucking strong.

1996
01:12:44,670 --> 01:12:48,000
These are old Camarilla ghouls

1997
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,740
of a primogen of their city.

1998
01:12:49,740 --> 01:12:51,153
Rolled as bad as I can.

1999
01:12:52,170 --> 01:12:54,006
- Full Masquerade breach,
middle of the town.

2000
01:12:54,006 --> 01:12:55,206
(Zac screams)

2001
01:12:56,310 --> 01:12:58,260
People start screaming.

2002
01:12:58,260 --> 01:13:00,690
This is going to go to be LaVonte.

2003
01:13:00,690 --> 01:13:03,450
I'm sorry, could I have Willpowered?

2004
01:13:03,450 --> 01:13:04,525
- [Brennan] Oh, you can
Willpower through that.

2005
01:13:04,525 --> 01:13:05,641
[Zac] Sorry, I didn't even say that.

2006
01:13:05,641 --> 01:13:06,949
- Go for it. You just
can't do the Hunger dice.

2007
01:13:06,949 --> 01:13:08,820
Yes, yes, yes. Okay.

2008
01:13:08,820 --> 01:13:10,050
You have three dice you're rolling.

2009
01:13:10,050 --> 01:13:10,913
Okay. Yeah.

2010
01:13:10,913 --> 01:13:12,021
(dice click)

2011
01:13:13,110 --> 01:13:14,340
Okay, so four,

2012
01:13:14,340 --> 01:13:16,530
so four successes and
two Bestial failures.

2013
01:13:16,530 --> 01:13:18,840
- Okay, in that case we're
gonna say, meets it beats it.

2014
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,297
So you do not Bestial fail here.

2015
01:13:21,297 --> 01:13:22,130
Just don't do any damage.

2016
01:13:22,130 --> 01:13:23,040
Yeah, but you run out and are basically

2017
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:24,450
slugging this guy in the street.

2018
01:13:24,450 --> 01:13:25,959
Punching each other's fists.

2019
01:13:25,959 --> 01:13:27,242
(punch impacts exchanged)

2020
01:13:27,242 --> 01:13:28,289
[Brennan] LaVonte, that is you.

2021
01:13:28,289 --> 01:13:30,300
LaVonte is gonna stand up.

2022
01:13:30,300 --> 01:13:32,670
The gang violence. It's gone too far.

2023
01:13:32,670 --> 01:13:33,930
Everyone out the back.

2024
01:13:33,930 --> 01:13:35,460
I'm gonna try and
facilitate as many people

2025
01:13:35,460 --> 01:13:38,610
exiting the restaurant in
this moment as possible.

2026
01:13:38,610 --> 01:13:40,650
Give me Charisma, Persuasion.

2027
01:13:40,650 --> 01:13:41,697
Charisma, Persuasion. Great.

2028
01:13:41,697 --> 01:13:43,080
You can add any of your vampire stuff

2029
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:44,604
- as you're doing it.
- Fantastic.

2030
01:13:44,604 --> 01:13:46,863
(players chattering over each other)

2031
01:13:46,863 --> 01:13:49,020
- I'm looking through the,
I'm looking through the rear.

2032
01:13:49,020 --> 01:13:50,010
What he did was right.

2033
01:13:50,010 --> 01:13:51,390
Sometimes you have to get rid of the-

2034
01:13:51,390 --> 01:13:54,985
- Sometimes you just gotta
slowly mow into someone.

2035
01:13:54,985 --> 01:13:56,510
Beep, beep, beep.

2036
01:13:56,510 --> 01:13:57,390
Your hazards fully on.

2037
01:13:57,390 --> 01:14:00,029
- I actually just get out of
the car, don't even reverse.

2038
01:14:00,029 --> 01:14:01,494
Just keep driving.

2039
01:14:01,494 --> 01:14:02,940
- Let's just go on.
- You just step out.

2040
01:14:02,940 --> 01:14:04,643
Leave it in neutral, just hop out.

2041
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:11,820
- Oh, sorry. Bat Child,
you are not in torpor,

2042
01:14:11,820 --> 01:14:14,087
you are merely unconscious.

2043
01:14:14,087 --> 01:14:14,920
Okay.

2044
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:15,753
[Ally] What puts you into torpor?

2045
01:14:15,753 --> 01:14:18,510
- Because if you took that
damage all the way up again,

2046
01:14:18,510 --> 01:14:20,520
if you took another Superficial damage,

2047
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,250
Superficial on Superficial
starts to become Aggravated.

2048
01:14:23,250 --> 01:14:24,420
- Got it.
- [Emily] Got it.

2049
01:14:24,420 --> 01:14:25,860
So, you're out.

2050
01:14:25,860 --> 01:14:28,110
But your thing- Torpor is a... It's like

2051
01:14:28,110 --> 01:14:30,270
you go to Hunger five and you become-

2052
01:14:30,270 --> 01:14:31,103
LaVonte?

2053
01:14:31,103 --> 01:14:32,760
- Three successes to
get as many people out

2054
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,280
of the restaurant through
the back as possible.

2055
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,230
This is an easy pitch for people

2056
01:14:37,230 --> 01:14:38,550
to want to flee gun violence,

2057
01:14:38,550 --> 01:14:40,350
and they begin to run out
the back of the restaurant.

2058
01:14:40,350 --> 01:14:41,700
That's gonna be Darkness Man now, yes.

2059
01:14:41,700 --> 01:14:43,290
Okay.

2060
01:14:43,290 --> 01:14:45,060
Bat Child!

2061
01:14:45,060 --> 01:14:47,580
And then I just charge
at the dude with the gun.

2062
01:14:47,580 --> 01:14:51,171
I'm going to Blood Surge. Pass.

2063
01:14:51,171 --> 01:14:53,340
And I'm gonna try to pop his head.

2064
01:14:53,340 --> 01:14:54,205
[Brennan] Let's do it.

2065
01:14:54,205 --> 01:14:55,647
(many dice rattling)

2066
01:14:57,330 --> 01:14:59,823
- Pretty bad rolls, but
a lot of rolls luckily.

2067
01:15:00,900 --> 01:15:02,223
Burn a Willpower.

2068
01:15:04,230 --> 01:15:05,130
Seven.

2069
01:15:05,130 --> 01:15:07,290
Seven. You take this guy's head off.

2070
01:15:07,290 --> 01:15:08,123
Great.

2071
01:15:09,390 --> 01:15:10,380
Falls to the ground.

2072
01:15:10,380 --> 01:15:12,300
You see Nancy looking around,

2073
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:15,300
holding a gun in her hand,
goes, "Smart shooting.

2074
01:15:15,300 --> 01:15:16,200
Oh, kiddo."

2075
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:17,766
And you see that she kneels down,

2076
01:15:17,766 --> 01:15:21,930
looks down at you, and
says, "Ah, poor little kid."

2077
01:15:21,930 --> 01:15:25,083
And she puts her wrist in your mouth.

2078
01:15:25,940 --> 01:15:26,881
What?

2079
01:15:28,770 --> 01:15:30,900
And says, "Go for it, sweet pea."

2080
01:15:30,900 --> 01:15:34,830
And I'm going to need you
to make a Willpower roll

2081
01:15:34,830 --> 01:15:38,040
to resist frenzy in this moment.

2082
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,440
I've used three, so I have three left.

2083
01:15:40,440 --> 01:15:42,090
Say it's a difficulty of...

2084
01:15:42,090 --> 01:15:43,590
What Hunger are you at right now?

2085
01:15:43,590 --> 01:15:45,420
- I'm at three.
- [Brennan] You're at three?

2086
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:46,634
- Difficulty-
- Three Willpower.

2087
01:15:46,634 --> 01:15:47,731
You have three Willpower right now?

2088
01:15:47,731 --> 01:15:48,564
[Emily] Yeah.

2089
01:15:48,564 --> 01:15:51,120
- I'm gonna say the difficulty
here is going to be two.

2090
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:51,953
Okay.

2091
01:15:55,290 --> 01:15:58,191
- I only get one and I can't re-roll them.

2092
01:15:58,191 --> 01:15:59,407
- [Brennan] You can't re-roll them.

2093
01:15:59,407 --> 01:16:03,213
You come to and begin to frenzy.

2094
01:16:06,873 --> 01:16:08,016
Bat Child. Bat Child!

2095
01:16:10,258 --> 01:16:12,066
You begin to slake your Hunger.

2096
01:16:12,066 --> 01:16:15,000
You begin to drink from
Nancy Danderhoof's wrist.

2097
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,652
- I whisper "mommy" while I-

2098
01:16:16,652 --> 01:16:18,302
(players laughing)

2099
01:16:19,830 --> 01:16:22,290
That is going to be HJ,

2100
01:16:22,290 --> 01:16:24,240
that's gonna be you. You're in the car.

2101
01:16:25,230 --> 01:16:27,450
I weirdly do have a lot in Medicine.

2102
01:16:27,450 --> 01:16:28,800
Can I intercede

2103
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,654
and try to break the
link between Danderhoof-

2104
01:16:31,654 --> 01:16:33,587
- This is gonna be- It's
gonna be Strength plus Brawl

2105
01:16:33,587 --> 01:16:35,640
opposed by Bat Child's
Strength plus Brawl.

2106
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:36,473
[Ally] Okay.

2107
01:16:36,473 --> 01:16:37,841
[Zac] You can't use your Medicine?

2108
01:16:37,841 --> 01:16:39,870
I can't use the Medicine that I have?

2109
01:16:39,870 --> 01:16:40,849
- Medicine?
- Yeah,

2110
01:16:40,849 --> 01:16:42,030
I have Medicine.

2111
01:16:42,030 --> 01:16:43,686
HJ.

2112
01:16:43,686 --> 01:16:44,936
He has three points in Medicine.

2113
01:16:44,936 --> 01:16:46,117
I have three points in Medicine.

2114
01:16:46,117 --> 01:16:47,280
It's injections.

2115
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:48,382
- [Brennan] What would Medicine-

2116
01:16:48,382 --> 01:16:50,540
How would you use Medicine in this?

2117
01:16:50,540 --> 01:16:52,650
- Well, she's unconscious
and her teeth are shattered,

2118
01:16:52,650 --> 01:16:55,197
so I'm gonna try to help her up.

2119
01:16:55,197 --> 01:16:56,824
And use, like, a Neosporin.

2120
01:16:56,824 --> 01:16:58,274
Right now, the issue is she's up again.

2121
01:16:58,274 --> 01:16:59,905
She's just eating Nancy Danderhoof.

2122
01:16:59,905 --> 01:17:00,922
Then I put the

2123
01:17:00,922 --> 01:17:02,038
- Neosporin on her.
- Maybe you could do it

2124
01:17:02,038 --> 01:17:03,679
on Nancy.

2125
01:17:03,679 --> 01:17:05,130
You may not use Medicine for this roll.

2126
01:17:05,130 --> 01:17:06,077
[Ally] Okay, sounds good.

2127
01:17:06,077 --> 01:17:08,580
HJ, Heelys over. Neosporin out.

2128
01:17:08,580 --> 01:17:09,419
Got it.

2129
01:17:09,419 --> 01:17:10,885
- [Brennan] Strength, yeah.
- Okay. We're good.

2130
01:17:10,885 --> 01:17:12,847
It's so expired, as all Neosporin is.

2131
01:17:12,847 --> 01:17:14,070
Okay, I only got two,

2132
01:17:14,070 --> 01:17:15,330
and I don't have to use a Willpower

2133
01:17:15,330 --> 01:17:16,165
if I don't want to, right?

2134
01:17:16,165 --> 01:17:16,998
- [Brennan] You don't
have to use a Willpower

2135
01:17:16,998 --> 01:17:17,831
if you don't want to.

2136
01:17:17,831 --> 01:17:18,785
I only got two.

2137
01:17:19,951 --> 01:17:22,230
Just eat Nancy Danderhoof.

2138
01:17:22,230 --> 01:17:23,480
She can get a posthumous-

2139
01:17:24,637 --> 01:17:25,595
Oh...

2140
01:17:26,505 --> 01:17:27,524
Willpower.

2141
01:17:27,524 --> 01:17:29,490
- I can Willpower.
(die clicks)

2142
01:17:29,490 --> 01:17:30,540
Oh, thank god.

2143
01:17:30,540 --> 01:17:31,830
[Brennan] Two successes.

2144
01:17:31,830 --> 01:17:33,660
Two versus two.

2145
01:17:33,660 --> 01:17:34,770
I'll say-

2146
01:17:34,770 --> 01:17:36,540
I whisper, "Mommy."

2147
01:17:36,540 --> 01:17:37,657
[Brennan] You whisper, "Mommy."

2148
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,850
I'm gonna say that
because it's PC versus PC,

2149
01:17:41,850 --> 01:17:44,280
I'm gonna keep it fair and
roll in front of the board.

2150
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,829
On a success, HJ does it.

2151
01:17:46,829 --> 01:17:49,159
On a failure, cannot.

2152
01:17:49,159 --> 01:17:51,060
- [Emily] Success!
(all cheering)

2153
01:17:51,060 --> 01:17:53,970
- [Brennan] HJ, you pull Bat
Child off Nancy Danderhoof.

2154
01:17:53,970 --> 01:17:56,821
However, Bat Child is still frenzying

2155
01:17:56,821 --> 01:17:58,777
and so may start to eat HJ.

2156
01:18:01,740 --> 01:18:03,150
That's gonna be Zaeth, that's you.

2157
01:18:03,150 --> 01:18:04,800
The black car is still there?

2158
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:05,873
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2159
01:18:07,230 --> 01:18:10,480
- I wonder if I can just kind
of get everything in there.

2160
01:18:11,431 --> 01:18:13,020
I'm gonna throw the bodies in there

2161
01:18:13,020 --> 01:18:15,570
and try to get Bat Child and like,

2162
01:18:15,570 --> 01:18:17,220
can you eat a ghoul?

2163
01:18:17,220 --> 01:18:20,517
- Oh... Yeah, you can
eat a ghoul as a vampire.

2164
01:18:20,517 --> 01:18:22,500
(Zac whistling)

2165
01:18:22,500 --> 01:18:23,333
Bat Child.

2166
01:18:23,333 --> 01:18:26,070
- Oh, yeah. I mean there's fresh
blood in these dead ghouls.

2167
01:18:26,070 --> 01:18:28,140
So I think that you just hurl Bat Child

2168
01:18:28,140 --> 01:18:29,490
into the back of the thing,

2169
01:18:29,490 --> 01:18:32,286
and you're just exsanguinating
these warm corpses.

2170
01:18:32,286 --> 01:18:34,173
I yell: Oh god, she's drunk.

2171
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:36,540
In case anyone's watching.

2172
01:18:36,540 --> 01:18:38,670
- I keep popping up in
the window of the car

2173
01:18:38,670 --> 01:18:39,660
just blood

2174
01:18:39,660 --> 01:18:41,465
- all over my face.
- [Ally] Thirsty Thursdays!

2175
01:18:41,465 --> 01:18:42,315
And we're just-

2176
01:18:42,315 --> 01:18:44,353
We load her into the
car with all the blood.

2177
01:18:44,353 --> 01:18:47,580
- I took the bad guy's
car and I'm driving.

2178
01:18:47,580 --> 01:18:48,413
[Brennan] Cool.

2179
01:18:48,413 --> 01:18:51,500
Zaeth grabs both dead bad
guys and a frenzying Bat Child

2180
01:18:51,500 --> 01:18:53,460
in the back of the vehicle.

2181
01:18:53,460 --> 01:18:56,340
- Ghorse, clean up this
mess, and I just keep going.

2182
01:18:56,340 --> 01:18:58,440
- You see that there
are several onlookers.

2183
01:18:58,440 --> 01:19:01,623
Ghorse nods and begins to
run down the onlookers.

2184
01:19:03,418 --> 01:19:05,280
[Zac] No, like the blood on the ground.

2185
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:06,717
- Oh.
(snorts)

2186
01:19:06,717 --> 01:19:09,074
And begins to-
(slurping blood)

2187
01:19:09,074 --> 01:19:10,405
Way worse.

2188
01:19:10,405 --> 01:19:11,946
Way worse.

2189
01:19:11,946 --> 01:19:13,380
- [Brennan] Darkness Man-
- He's drunk, too.

2190
01:19:13,380 --> 01:19:14,550
Darkness Man and HJ,

2191
01:19:14,550 --> 01:19:16,200
there are a few onlookers on the street

2192
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,810
that just observed what
was happening here.

2193
01:19:18,810 --> 01:19:21,120
- Do you have some kind
of manipulative thing?

2194
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,070
Yeah, we could try this.

2195
01:19:23,070 --> 01:19:25,223
- I use my Mesmerize.
- [Brennan] Cool.

2196
01:19:25,223 --> 01:19:27,480
- Where I can give a kind
of more complicated...

2197
01:19:27,480 --> 01:19:28,313
[Brennan] Yeah.

2198
01:19:28,313 --> 01:19:30,030
- ...thing.
- [Brennan] Yes.

2199
01:19:30,030 --> 01:19:32,790
- Go the gang violence route.
- Yeah, yeah.

2200
01:19:32,790 --> 01:19:33,694
I say...

2201
01:19:33,694 --> 01:19:35,167
(players laughing)

2202
01:19:35,167 --> 01:19:37,523
- This has been brought
to you by gang violence.

2203
01:19:37,523 --> 01:19:39,060
[Ally] I say:

2204
01:19:39,060 --> 01:19:40,351
(Lou laughing)

2205
01:19:40,351 --> 01:19:43,380
What you've seen here
today is gang violence.

2206
01:19:43,380 --> 01:19:46,410
And there's a horse licking
blood off the ground

2207
01:19:46,410 --> 01:19:48,732
behind me, comely.

2208
01:19:48,732 --> 01:19:51,420
(all laughing)

2209
01:19:51,420 --> 01:19:53,185
- A bunch of humans are
just looking at you going,

2210
01:19:53,185 --> 01:19:54,593
"Gang violence."

2211
01:19:54,593 --> 01:19:56,301
(players laughing)

2212
01:19:56,301 --> 01:19:58,175
Really scary stuff.

2213
01:19:58,175 --> 01:20:03,175
- No, they jump people.
It's the knockout game.

2214
01:20:03,246 --> 01:20:05,120
It's the knockout game.

2215
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:06,411
The knockout game.

2216
01:20:06,411 --> 01:20:08,565
The Whittakers started the knockout game.

2217
01:20:08,565 --> 01:20:10,683
When the little girl ate that woman

2218
01:20:10,683 --> 01:20:12,848
that was the knockout game.

2219
01:20:12,848 --> 01:20:13,876
Exactly.

2220
01:20:13,876 --> 01:20:15,343
That was the knockout game.

2221
01:20:15,343 --> 01:20:16,885
- She was drunk.
- She was drunk.

2222
01:20:16,885 --> 01:20:18,126
The little girl was drunk.

2223
01:20:18,126 --> 01:20:20,708
Bud and Branch is a dangerous bar.

2224
01:20:20,708 --> 01:20:24,960
No, actually this was the dispensary.

2225
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:26,490
They were all high on marijuana.

2226
01:20:26,490 --> 01:20:29,880
- The dispensary that burned
down a couple weeks ago.

2227
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,170
Yes, they also did that.

2228
01:20:32,170 --> 01:20:34,260
The weed is in the air.

2229
01:20:34,260 --> 01:20:36,780
I feel like I'm getting less mesmerized.

2230
01:20:36,780 --> 01:20:37,735
Was it really?

2231
01:20:37,735 --> 01:20:39,535
This is Roofus's Purpee.

2232
01:20:40,700 --> 01:20:43,558
This is Roofus's Purpee.

2233
01:20:45,043 --> 01:20:46,770
- And then I make a
mental note of all this

2234
01:20:46,770 --> 01:20:48,900
to create flyers

2235
01:20:48,900 --> 01:20:51,018
or something that we can pass out.

2236
01:20:51,018 --> 01:20:52,830
I guess I'll grab Danderhoof

2237
01:20:52,830 --> 01:20:55,015
- and let's get in the car.
- Is she okay?

2238
01:20:55,015 --> 01:20:57,030
And get going to the house.

2239
01:20:57,030 --> 01:20:58,740
Someone else can drive.

2240
01:20:58,740 --> 01:21:00,733
I'm gonna drive.

2241
01:21:00,733 --> 01:21:03,570
I'm gonna drive to Elysium.

2242
01:21:03,570 --> 01:21:04,403
[Brennan] Cool.

2243
01:21:04,403 --> 01:21:05,400
It seems like a more

2244
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:06,720
inconspicuous place to put the car.

2245
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:07,553
- [Murph] Let's text when
we're gonna meet up there.

2246
01:21:07,553 --> 01:21:09,870
[Brennan] You guys hook up in Elysium.

2247
01:21:09,870 --> 01:21:13,260
There is a very flimsy
Band-Aid over the breach

2248
01:21:13,260 --> 01:21:14,520
of the Masquerade here.

2249
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,223
What HJ was able to
pull off with Mesmerize

2250
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,320
won't necessarily hold up
to repeated questioning

2251
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:26,507
or any possible recording of
the event as it transpired.

2252
01:21:26,507 --> 01:21:27,923
Is Danderhoof here?

2253
01:21:27,923 --> 01:21:29,430
- Danderhoof comes to
Elysium with you guys.

2254
01:21:29,430 --> 01:21:30,960
Is there a way that we could have hit

2255
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,300
some security cameras on our way out?

2256
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:34,133
Sure.

2257
01:21:34,133 --> 01:21:36,797
I'll say the main one is Bud and Branch,

2258
01:21:36,797 --> 01:21:38,640
and you were able to erase that one.

2259
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,310
Everything else would've had a
weird angle on what happened.

2260
01:21:41,310 --> 01:21:42,330
Can we leak to the press

2261
01:21:42,330 --> 01:21:46,020
that it's some kind of
"Sleep No More" situation?

2262
01:21:46,020 --> 01:21:47,040
I feel like we've burned the Banksy angle.

2263
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,818
I almost said it was a Banksy

2264
01:21:48,818 --> 01:21:52,270
but then I decided gang violence
was a lot more buttoned up.

2265
01:21:52,270 --> 01:21:54,205
I feel like we just pretend the ghouls

2266
01:21:54,205 --> 01:21:56,250
were, like, fighting or something.

2267
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:58,284
I don't know. We can't explain
the person being eaten.

2268
01:21:58,284 --> 01:21:59,927
That girl Mousetrapped that woman

2269
01:21:59,927 --> 01:22:02,268
and that was gang-related.

2270
01:22:02,268 --> 01:22:04,134
Let's make sure Bat Child is okay.

2271
01:22:04,134 --> 01:22:04,980
- Gang-on-gang violence.

2272
01:22:04,980 --> 01:22:06,658
- I knock on the back door of the-

2273
01:22:06,658 --> 01:22:08,325
(Emily slurping and hissing)

2274
01:22:08,325 --> 01:22:10,249
Bat Child. Bat Child.
(Emily hissing)

2275
01:22:10,249 --> 01:22:11,744
- Bat Child.
- [Ally] Bat Child.

2276
01:22:11,744 --> 01:22:13,683
Bad Bat Child.

2277
01:22:13,683 --> 01:22:15,667
Down, down, down.

2278
01:22:15,667 --> 01:22:18,484
No, it's okay. It's okay, it's okay.

2279
01:22:18,484 --> 01:22:20,542
- No, Bat Child.
- [Murph] It's okay.

2280
01:22:20,542 --> 01:22:22,380
Mommy's here. Mommy's here.

2281
01:22:22,380 --> 01:22:23,528
[Murph] We need to be positive.

2282
01:22:24,570 --> 01:22:26,760
We said we were only gonna do treats,

2283
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,230
positive reinforcement.

2284
01:22:28,230 --> 01:22:30,458
Here, have a blood Churu.

2285
01:22:30,458 --> 01:22:31,817
[Brennan] A blood Churu.

2286
01:22:33,450 --> 01:22:36,214
Nancy looks over at you, Bat Child.

2287
01:22:36,214 --> 01:22:37,706
I'm so sorry.

2288
01:22:37,706 --> 01:22:39,080
That's all right, kiddo.

2289
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:42,360
Listen, I'm a little woozy
so I'm gonna sit down, okay?

2290
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,700
You saved my life.

2291
01:22:44,700 --> 01:22:46,683
Aw, kiddo, you don't have to...

2292
01:22:49,460 --> 01:22:51,540
That was extraordinarily
brave what you did.

2293
01:22:51,540 --> 01:22:55,020
And that woman, that was
Ermine Damanescu, right?

2294
01:22:55,020 --> 01:22:56,369
- Yeah.
- She's another vampire.

2295
01:22:56,369 --> 01:22:58,053
She was coming to kill you.

2296
01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:01,362
You saved my life, kiddo.

2297
01:23:01,362 --> 01:23:03,090
- Is that why you were
near Bud and Branch?

2298
01:23:03,090 --> 01:23:04,200
Do you know what that is?

2299
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:05,310
"I was scoping her out.

2300
01:23:05,310 --> 01:23:06,150
We don't have a-"

2301
01:23:06,150 --> 01:23:08,400
and you see out in the distance, she goes,

2302
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:09,500
"Fuck, there it goes."

2303
01:23:09,500 --> 01:23:11,730
And you see, she points out
and you see the red light

2304
01:23:11,730 --> 01:23:14,633
of a helicopter heading towards
San Francisco fading out.

2305
01:23:14,633 --> 01:23:16,573
Oh fuck. We're so fucked.

2306
01:23:16,573 --> 01:23:18,623
- Who could have done...
- Wait, who is that then?

2307
01:23:18,623 --> 01:23:19,980
- Who was in-
- She was here alone.

2308
01:23:19,980 --> 01:23:21,900
Nancy looks in the thing and says,

2309
01:23:21,900 --> 01:23:26,460
"Okay, there's the panic
button under here for the car.

2310
01:23:26,460 --> 01:23:27,760
So I don't think..."

2311
01:23:29,580 --> 01:23:33,005
She takes the phones of the ghouls out,

2312
01:23:33,005 --> 01:23:35,670
and she takes a little
thing that looks like

2313
01:23:35,670 --> 01:23:38,520
a little sort of Pokémon Chibi-shaped,

2314
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,860
AirPod-looking thing.

2315
01:23:40,860 --> 01:23:42,150
Swipes it over the phone.

2316
01:23:42,150 --> 01:23:45,098
Hacks it, opens the phone,
goes through it, goes,

2317
01:23:45,098 --> 01:23:46,290
"Okay.

2318
01:23:46,290 --> 01:23:50,640
No. No textual communication
from these goons,

2319
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,280
but they hit a panic button
so the helicopter took off."

2320
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:54,450
Who could have been in there?

2321
01:23:54,450 --> 01:23:56,250
It's probably someone from Metr

2322
01:23:56,250 --> 01:23:57,920
and not... Unless it's Koschei.

2323
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,040
Do we think they hit it

2324
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:00,690
and then hopped out and started shooting?

2325
01:24:00,690 --> 01:24:01,920
- [Emily] Yeah.
- That could have been it.

2326
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,430
- Can you walk me through
what this woman's problem was?

2327
01:24:05,430 --> 01:24:08,160
I know her as an executive at Metr,

2328
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,348
but you all know her
for some other reason.

2329
01:24:10,348 --> 01:24:12,240
- She's a vampire.
- Okay.

2330
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,400
They want this plant.

2331
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:16,950
They want something to
do with the trailhead.

2332
01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:18,030
And the creek.

2333
01:24:18,030 --> 01:24:20,130
They need the water from the creek.

2334
01:24:20,130 --> 01:24:21,210
For a data center.

2335
01:24:21,210 --> 01:24:22,862
Data center?

2336
01:24:22,862 --> 01:24:25,470
- Do you know the
abandoned data center here?

2337
01:24:25,470 --> 01:24:27,150
- Well, it was supposed
to be a computer lab

2338
01:24:27,150 --> 01:24:29,475
for Y2K, but that's been-

2339
01:24:29,475 --> 01:24:30,358
For Y2K?

2340
01:24:30,358 --> 01:24:32,910
Now, that's something I remember.

2341
01:24:32,910 --> 01:24:35,910
- She nods and says,
"So that business park,

2342
01:24:35,910 --> 01:24:37,260
the history of that
business park in Purpee,

2343
01:24:37,260 --> 01:24:39,930
it's flopped a couple different times.

2344
01:24:39,930 --> 01:24:43,293
It was early on for Y2K but after that,

2345
01:24:44,610 --> 01:24:46,140
it basically didn't pan out.

2346
01:24:46,140 --> 01:24:47,550
There wasn't an infrastructure here

2347
01:24:47,550 --> 01:24:50,040
for those tech workers at that time.

2348
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,070
Metr has been coming after
it for a little while,

2349
01:24:53,070 --> 01:24:56,370
but backed off when they were- basically,

2350
01:24:56,370 --> 01:24:58,440
you know, when I published the piece."

2351
01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:01,410
Right. She was working for Metr.

2352
01:25:01,410 --> 01:25:06,060
There's a... Please don't- Off the record.

2353
01:25:06,060 --> 01:25:07,653
Oh, that's so smart.

2354
01:25:08,670 --> 01:25:10,410
So media literate.

2355
01:25:10,410 --> 01:25:11,483
That's so smart.

2356
01:25:11,483 --> 01:25:12,538
- [Murph] Off the record-
- He's a really good

2357
01:25:12,538 --> 01:25:13,371
singer too.

2358
01:25:13,371 --> 01:25:15,663
...there's a... Stop.

2359
01:25:16,740 --> 01:25:20,550
There's a council of vampires

2360
01:25:20,550 --> 01:25:24,810
and she was kind of going rogue

2361
01:25:24,810 --> 01:25:27,450
and working for this other company,

2362
01:25:27,450 --> 01:25:30,270
and we're also kind of
going rogue in our own way

2363
01:25:30,270 --> 01:25:33,450
in that we don't want to just
completely destroy this town.

2364
01:25:33,450 --> 01:25:37,380
We'd like to have a symbiotic
relationship, if possible.

2365
01:25:37,380 --> 01:25:39,750
But we're also hoping
not to anger the council

2366
01:25:39,750 --> 01:25:42,210
into coming here and killing us all.

2367
01:25:42,210 --> 01:25:44,040
Which I think we might have just done.

2368
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,050
- But we might be able
to leverage the fact

2369
01:25:46,050 --> 01:25:49,770
that she was working against
the Camarilla as well.

2370
01:25:49,770 --> 01:25:51,423
Yeah, we can leverage that.

2371
01:25:51,423 --> 01:25:53,490
And then we can also
say we didn't kill her,

2372
01:25:53,490 --> 01:25:55,350
we sent her to the abyss.

2373
01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:57,660
- We've only imprisoned her
for threatening violence

2374
01:25:57,660 --> 01:25:59,940
against Nancy Danderhoof and ourselves.

2375
01:25:59,940 --> 01:26:03,000
- Can you use a Tech check
or something like that

2376
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,730
to use one of these now
unlocked phones to be like,

2377
01:26:05,730 --> 01:26:06,780
"You left me"?

2378
01:26:06,780 --> 01:26:08,880
Or can we send some kind of text to see,

2379
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,760
was she here with a Metr person,

2380
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:13,348
or who was in the helicopter,

2381
01:26:13,348 --> 01:26:15,270
or do we think it was
just an empty helicopter

2382
01:26:15,270 --> 01:26:17,820
with a pilot leaving the scene?

2383
01:26:17,820 --> 01:26:20,460
- Nancy opens the phones up and
looks through them and says,

2384
01:26:20,460 --> 01:26:23,553
"No, there's a communication
here for the pilot."

2385
01:26:24,570 --> 01:26:27,090
But you see that she looks out and says,

2386
01:26:27,090 --> 01:26:31,080
"Looks like pilot and two
other security just took off."

2387
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:32,642
She wasn't working alone.

2388
01:26:32,642 --> 01:26:34,230
If they took off

2389
01:26:34,230 --> 01:26:36,990
because something bad happened to her,

2390
01:26:36,990 --> 01:26:39,390
they must be working
with some other people.

2391
01:26:39,390 --> 01:26:41,400
- Right, they wouldn't leave with her-

2392
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,260
She's the whole important deal.

2393
01:26:43,260 --> 01:26:44,250
Why would they just run?

2394
01:26:44,250 --> 01:26:45,960
- No, she's not the only
important- You're exactly right.

2395
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:47,310
If she was the only important person here,

2396
01:26:47,310 --> 01:26:48,840
they would've stayed
there the whole night.

2397
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:50,640
She must be here with someone high up.

2398
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,710
I can only imagine from Metr.

2399
01:26:52,710 --> 01:26:54,420
That parking all throughout the town.

2400
01:26:54,420 --> 01:26:56,010
It's a big pain in the tookus.

2401
01:26:56,010 --> 01:26:58,380
Yeah, I know that you're nom nom hungry

2402
01:26:58,380 --> 01:27:01,320
for another cherry and my
wheels have been turning,

2403
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,110
thinking that I wanted to come
up with something with Metr.

2404
01:27:04,110 --> 01:27:06,870
But now it seems that we're
being thrust in that direction

2405
01:27:06,870 --> 01:27:07,980
so it seems undeniable.

2406
01:27:07,980 --> 01:27:10,350
Why would a vampire

2407
01:27:10,350 --> 01:27:13,500
risk double-crossing
all the other vampires,

2408
01:27:13,500 --> 01:27:17,490
if you guys all have to live
with each other for eternity?

2409
01:27:17,490 --> 01:27:19,770
Unless there isn't an eternity.

2410
01:27:19,770 --> 01:27:23,523
- Well, there's something
rotten in the state of Oregon.

2411
01:27:24,540 --> 01:27:26,910
Nancy, what did you do?

2412
01:27:26,910 --> 01:27:28,380
What is your magic?

2413
01:27:28,380 --> 01:27:30,330
- My magic?
- Yeah.

2414
01:27:30,330 --> 01:27:33,993
You let me sup from your wrist.

2415
01:27:35,010 --> 01:27:36,330
[Brennan] She looks at you and says,

2416
01:27:36,330 --> 01:27:39,060
"Kiddo, I just saw that you were scared.

2417
01:27:39,060 --> 01:27:42,330
Standing up to the big and powerful?

2418
01:27:42,330 --> 01:27:45,930
It takes a lot of guts. I
get scared all the time.

2419
01:27:45,930 --> 01:27:49,770
You try to go toe to toe
with these big old bullies,

2420
01:27:49,770 --> 01:27:52,080
but you're never alone
when you're standing up.

2421
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,290
The people that push us around,

2422
01:27:55,290 --> 01:27:56,970
they're pushing everybody around.

2423
01:27:56,970 --> 01:27:58,980
And that means that you've
got brothers and sisters

2424
01:27:58,980 --> 01:28:00,870
and siblings all over the
world you never even heard of,

2425
01:28:00,870 --> 01:28:02,880
because people like Ermine Damanescu,

2426
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,730
they don't just push you into a corner,

2427
01:28:05,730 --> 01:28:06,750
they do it to everybody.

2428
01:28:06,750 --> 01:28:08,670
And that means they're vulnerable

2429
01:28:08,670 --> 01:28:11,130
and they're isolated,
'cause we're together.

2430
01:28:11,130 --> 01:28:12,420
So I saw you and I knew

2431
01:28:12,420 --> 01:28:13,980
that you needed to believe in yourself,

2432
01:28:13,980 --> 01:28:16,620
and that you could eat that
little cherry in front of you."

2433
01:28:16,620 --> 01:28:18,060
So you're just a mortal

2434
01:28:18,060 --> 01:28:22,233
and you offered up your life juice to me?

2435
01:28:23,490 --> 01:28:25,830
You see that she opens a little purse

2436
01:28:25,830 --> 01:28:29,220
and you see she takes out an obituary

2437
01:28:29,220 --> 01:28:33,150
from the Sunday Scoop
from many, many years ago

2438
01:28:33,150 --> 01:28:34,983
for Vesper Childers.

2439
01:28:38,250 --> 01:28:40,770
Did you write my obituary?

2440
01:28:40,770 --> 01:28:42,600
How did you even know who I was?

2441
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,950
I was just an intern at the
Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium.

2442
01:28:46,950 --> 01:28:48,930
I was just a college student.

2443
01:28:48,930 --> 01:28:52,290
Just a young woman

2444
01:28:52,290 --> 01:28:54,900
with dreams of sharing her love of animals

2445
01:28:54,900 --> 01:28:57,093
with the world is not just anything.

2446
01:28:58,260 --> 01:28:59,220
I'm a journalist.

2447
01:28:59,220 --> 01:29:03,300
My job is to see what's
going on in the world.

2448
01:29:03,300 --> 01:29:04,380
And there's so many people

2449
01:29:04,380 --> 01:29:06,360
that feel like they can
just disappear one day

2450
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:07,460
and then they're gone.

2451
01:29:08,460 --> 01:29:11,460
You didn't disappear. No one disappears.

2452
01:29:11,460 --> 01:29:13,500
They're somewhere out there.

2453
01:29:13,500 --> 01:29:15,900
And I knew that something was going on

2454
01:29:15,900 --> 01:29:18,840
with these two superheroes in the town

2455
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:20,790
and that's Bat Child and Darkness Man,

2456
01:29:20,790 --> 01:29:23,100
and I started to put two and two together,

2457
01:29:23,100 --> 01:29:26,250
and all I'm saying is,

2458
01:29:26,250 --> 01:29:28,680
mortal, vampire, whatever.

2459
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,330
We all live here together,

2460
01:29:30,330 --> 01:29:32,610
and we'd better figure out a
way to look after each other

2461
01:29:32,610 --> 01:29:36,570
because they're trying to
carve it all up for themselves.

2462
01:29:36,570 --> 01:29:40,020
So I'm not an immortal
and I gave you my blood

2463
01:29:40,020 --> 01:29:44,313
because you're a good kid
and you got shot in the head.

2464
01:29:45,300 --> 01:29:47,650
- Yeah, I think the
bullets are still in there.

2465
01:29:48,991 --> 01:29:50,340
Does anyone wanna take 'em out?

2466
01:29:50,340 --> 01:29:52,833
Yeah, I put on some rubber gloves.

2467
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,340
And I get out a bunch of dentist tools.

2468
01:29:56,340 --> 01:29:58,603
- We all know you're
really good with medicine.

2469
01:29:58,603 --> 01:30:00,090
- It's kind of been well-established.

2470
01:30:00,090 --> 01:30:01,140
Famously so.

2471
01:30:01,140 --> 01:30:02,760
There's a lot to go over here.

2472
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:04,890
But this has been a big night.

2473
01:30:04,890 --> 01:30:06,300
Would you like a Propel?

2474
01:30:06,300 --> 01:30:07,286
I would, thank you.

2475
01:30:09,327 --> 01:30:10,905
You had one Propel?

2476
01:30:10,905 --> 01:30:13,410
It's just, like, her exact demo.

2477
01:30:13,410 --> 01:30:16,390
We have a way to pass on

2478
01:30:17,843 --> 01:30:19,620
powers, kind of.

2479
01:30:19,620 --> 01:30:20,670
Yeah.

2480
01:30:20,670 --> 01:30:23,430
Do you want pseudo vampire powers

2481
01:30:23,430 --> 01:30:25,590
where you can still go
out in the day and stuff?

2482
01:30:25,590 --> 01:30:28,020
And protect yourself if more people come

2483
01:30:28,020 --> 01:30:30,060
for you in a black unmarked car?

2484
01:30:30,060 --> 01:30:32,400
- We got a guy who can jump,
like, 30 feet in the air now.

2485
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,580
- She looks and says,
"I'm quite all right."

2486
01:30:35,580 --> 01:30:36,900
You see she pats her purse and says,

2487
01:30:36,900 --> 01:30:39,703
"Me and Henry, we'll do
fine by each other, okay?

2488
01:30:39,703 --> 01:30:42,780
I'm gonna to start sniffing around.

2489
01:30:42,780 --> 01:30:46,710
If this Metr has deceased
individuals on the payroll,

2490
01:30:46,710 --> 01:30:49,683
then that's something worth looking into."

2491
01:30:50,533 --> 01:30:51,808
That's a way to spin it.

2492
01:30:51,808 --> 01:30:55,650
- Maybe the Anarchs are
part of Metr or something.

2493
01:30:55,650 --> 01:30:59,070
- Even just having a deceased
person on your payroll

2494
01:30:59,070 --> 01:31:01,890
would make your finances kind of funky.

2495
01:31:01,890 --> 01:31:05,092
- They never announced
that their CEO fucking died

2496
01:31:05,092 --> 01:31:06,483
in a Banksy.

2497
01:31:06,483 --> 01:31:08,520
So Davis Otherman is dead for certain?

2498
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:10,890
Off the record, he died in a Banksy.

2499
01:31:10,890 --> 01:31:12,090
His head fell off.

2500
01:31:12,090 --> 01:31:14,111
On the record, he died in a Banksy.

2501
01:31:14,111 --> 01:31:16,020
- But you know, it could
be that he's still alive

2502
01:31:16,020 --> 01:31:17,640
and his head just fell off.

2503
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:19,350
"Why wouldn't they announce that?"

2504
01:31:19,350 --> 01:31:21,000
She looks at something. She says,

2505
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,250
"I got forwarded something
from a contact of mine.

2506
01:31:23,250 --> 01:31:25,950
They sent out a message
to all Beholdr employees,

2507
01:31:25,950 --> 01:31:28,950
out to all the subsidiaries
like Metr and yada yada yada.

2508
01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:31,440
Isn't this kind of an
interesting way to word this?

2509
01:31:31,440 --> 01:31:35,430
'To all employees of Metr Industries,

2510
01:31:35,430 --> 01:31:39,390
In an effort to aid the
federal investigation

2511
01:31:39,390 --> 01:31:44,390
for where Mr. Otherman, our
CEO, may have gone missing,

2512
01:31:44,460 --> 01:31:49,163
we would love for everyone
to upload photographs,

2513
01:31:49,163 --> 01:31:51,270
images, and especially videos,

2514
01:31:51,270 --> 01:31:54,845
of Mr. Otherman to this shared drive.'"

2515
01:31:54,845 --> 01:31:57,390
They're gonna make an AI CEO.

2516
01:31:57,390 --> 01:31:59,850
And then that's a whole lot
of money that's going nowhere

2517
01:31:59,850 --> 01:32:01,050
that they could launder.

2518
01:32:01,050 --> 01:32:03,634
- I'll tell you what, kiddo.
If you're gonna make an AI CEO,

2519
01:32:03,634 --> 01:32:05,040
you know what you'd need a lot of?

2520
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:06,411
- Water.
- "Data centers."

2521
01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:11,040
She closes her phone and
says, "I'll tell you what,

2522
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:12,720
you guys are like sharks,

2523
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,810
'cause you can smell that
blood in the water, no problem.

2524
01:32:15,810 --> 01:32:17,790
We got work to do, kiddos. All right?"

2525
01:32:17,790 --> 01:32:19,167
You see she-
(cocking gun)

2526
01:32:19,167 --> 01:32:21,893
(players laughing)

2527
01:32:21,893 --> 01:32:23,940
Says, "Best of luck. Stay in touch, yeah?"

2528
01:32:23,940 --> 01:32:25,590
Nancy, where are you staying?

2529
01:32:25,590 --> 01:32:26,423
"Nice try."

2530
01:32:26,423 --> 01:32:27,810
And she- (laughing)

2531
01:32:27,810 --> 01:32:28,849
I love her.

2532
01:32:28,849 --> 01:32:30,270
God, I love her.

2533
01:32:30,270 --> 01:32:31,590
God, I love her.

2534
01:32:31,590 --> 01:32:34,590
- I just had sort of
a horrible money idea.

2535
01:32:34,590 --> 01:32:35,610
My favorite kind.

2536
01:32:35,610 --> 01:32:38,190
- I don't know if we can do
this where we can pull this off,

2537
01:32:38,190 --> 01:32:39,493
'cause I don't know.

2538
01:32:39,493 --> 01:32:44,220
I don't know much about
the actual stock market,

2539
01:32:44,220 --> 01:32:48,720
but if we were to somehow tell
the world that Davis Otherman

2540
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:52,090
was dead right after we,
what is it called? Not long.

2541
01:32:52,090 --> 01:32:53,160
Put a short in.

2542
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:54,153
- Shorted the-

2543
01:32:55,380 --> 01:32:57,215
[Siobhan] Long the stock?

2544
01:32:57,215 --> 01:32:58,481
My god, Zaeth.

2545
01:32:58,481 --> 01:32:59,572
Long short.

2546
01:32:59,572 --> 01:33:01,680
You prince among princes.

2547
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,630
- And that doesn't really
solve any of our problems.

2548
01:33:03,630 --> 01:33:05,151
- It could just be cool.
- It could solve

2549
01:33:05,151 --> 01:33:05,984
a lot of our problems.

2550
01:33:05,984 --> 01:33:06,817
It's just something to think about.

2551
01:33:06,817 --> 01:33:08,027
Just something to think about.

2552
01:33:08,027 --> 01:33:11,277
We did give half a
million dollars to Patty,

2553
01:33:11,277 --> 01:33:12,460
so it'd be nice to make some of that back.

2554
01:33:12,460 --> 01:33:14,010
Over 12 months, we'll be great.

2555
01:33:14,010 --> 01:33:15,580
You're right, you're right.

2556
01:33:15,580 --> 01:33:19,350
- I am worried that if
the Camarilla comes,

2557
01:33:19,350 --> 01:33:21,240
or Metr comes,

2558
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:22,920
we're going to need allies.

2559
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:23,790
Yes.

2560
01:33:23,790 --> 01:33:26,070
- [Lou] You were talking
about finding Bigfoot.

2561
01:33:26,070 --> 01:33:27,300
Yeah, we need Bigfoot.

2562
01:33:27,300 --> 01:33:28,133
Yeah.

2563
01:33:28,133 --> 01:33:30,313
I think we might need those big feet.

2564
01:33:30,313 --> 01:33:31,979
Yeah.

2565
01:33:31,979 --> 01:33:35,400
- We still have so many
downtime successes to pay off.

2566
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,920
And as we move from here,

2567
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,580
an enormous problem has been
created but also solved.

2568
01:33:41,580 --> 01:33:46,170
Rather, an enormous Sword of
Damocles hangs in the air.

2569
01:33:46,170 --> 01:33:48,108
Somewhere in oblivion,

2570
01:33:48,108 --> 01:33:52,260
Ermine Damanescu is completely unharmed,

2571
01:33:52,260 --> 01:33:54,870
past the portal at the
back of Bat Child's mouth.

2572
01:33:54,870 --> 01:33:56,970
If they ever gut me like a python,

2573
01:33:56,970 --> 01:34:00,262
all our enemies and a huge
torpedo are coming back.

2574
01:34:00,262 --> 01:34:02,490
- Is that how- I was thinking about that,

2575
01:34:02,490 --> 01:34:04,830
of like, could she swim out or?

2576
01:34:04,830 --> 01:34:05,880
To be honest, I have no idea.

2577
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,580
- If you sleep with your mouth
open, could she crawl out?

2578
01:34:08,580 --> 01:34:10,052
We're gonna get you some mouth tape.

2579
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:12,810
It doesn't correlate

2580
01:34:12,810 --> 01:34:15,090
with anything in the bat species.

2581
01:34:15,090 --> 01:34:17,970
And also now I'm a vampire and not a bat.

2582
01:34:17,970 --> 01:34:20,190
So I don't even know how to begin.

2583
01:34:20,190 --> 01:34:22,560
- Just think that we can
use the Sword of Damocles

2584
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:26,190
to cut the Gordian knot and
turn all of these people

2585
01:34:26,190 --> 01:34:29,250
and unpuzzle our puzzle with...

2586
01:34:29,250 --> 01:34:32,820
I actually am not quite smart
enough to land this plane.

2587
01:34:32,820 --> 01:34:34,260
But doesn't it sound good?

2588
01:34:34,260 --> 01:34:36,360
I mean I was all in from top to bottom.

2589
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:37,193
Great.

2590
01:34:37,193 --> 01:34:38,880
- I don't know what a
couple of those things are.

2591
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:41,166
- What sword?
- And I don't know the knot.

2592
01:34:41,166 --> 01:34:42,144
The knot.

2593
01:34:42,144 --> 01:34:43,777
- The Gordian knot.
- And now there's a plane?

2594
01:34:43,777 --> 01:34:45,420
The Sword of Damocles.

2595
01:34:45,420 --> 01:34:46,530
Damocles is a king.

2596
01:34:46,530 --> 01:34:48,990
His advisor says, "It's
so easy to be a king."

2597
01:34:48,990 --> 01:34:51,210
He says, "Okay, you sit in the king chair,

2598
01:34:51,210 --> 01:34:53,610
I hang a sword over you.

2599
01:34:53,610 --> 01:34:55,830
And that is what it feels
like to be the king.

2600
01:34:55,830 --> 01:34:58,110
You have a sword hanging
over your head all the time."

2601
01:34:58,110 --> 01:35:03,110
The Gordian knot is a knot
that is un-untieable until

2602
01:35:03,167 --> 01:35:05,653
Alexander the Great, he take his sword,

2603
01:35:05,653 --> 01:35:08,550
he cut the knot in half. Knot untied.

2604
01:35:08,550 --> 01:35:10,526
- It was sort of like
creative problem solving.

2605
01:35:10,526 --> 01:35:12,180
Creative problem solving.

2606
01:35:12,180 --> 01:35:14,460
- Everyone was trying
to untie it, and then-

2607
01:35:14,460 --> 01:35:15,930
We just have to make sure we are cutting

2608
01:35:15,930 --> 01:35:18,960
the Gordian knot and
not the baby of Solomon.

2609
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:20,917
And that's all we gotta do.

2610
01:35:20,917 --> 01:35:22,495
- I actually don't know
the baby of Solomon.

2611
01:35:22,495 --> 01:35:24,153
(Siobhan laughing)

2612
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:26,580
Are you done, your tippy typing?

2613
01:35:26,580 --> 01:35:28,546
I'm done with my tippy typing.

2614
01:35:28,546 --> 01:35:31,020
(Ally laughing)

2615
01:35:31,020 --> 01:35:33,088
Moving forward from this night...

2616
01:35:33,088 --> 01:35:36,358
- He was typing, "Fly in
nude candy bars right now."

2617
01:35:36,358 --> 01:35:38,400
[Brennan] More nude candy bars.

2618
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:40,380
As this intense night

2619
01:35:40,380 --> 01:35:42,780
that leaves a lot of danger up in the air,

2620
01:35:42,780 --> 01:35:46,500
but also the immediate
danger of Ermine resolved.

2621
01:35:46,500 --> 01:35:48,870
And moreover, based on Koschei's response

2622
01:35:48,870 --> 01:35:50,940
and Darkness Man said going rogue,

2623
01:35:50,940 --> 01:35:52,890
there's a weird imbalance.

2624
01:35:52,890 --> 01:35:55,950
Massive powerful enemies move
against you in the darkness.

2625
01:35:55,950 --> 01:36:00,390
And yet, Ermine was not
being above board either.

2626
01:36:00,390 --> 01:36:02,100
So what was she hiding?

2627
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:03,960
And I think moving
forward from this place,

2628
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,960
is there anything else that
gets resolved that night

2629
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,140
before we move forward?

2630
01:36:10,140 --> 01:36:14,100
I think one more thing as far as Ermine,

2631
01:36:14,100 --> 01:36:19,080
let's not tell the Camarilla
until they come to us,

2632
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:22,500
because someone who was
working with other people

2633
01:36:22,500 --> 01:36:25,410
has a lot of other enemies
that aren't necessarily us.

2634
01:36:25,410 --> 01:36:26,460
So no reason-

2635
01:36:26,460 --> 01:36:28,470
- We should research who
is an enemy of Ermine

2636
01:36:28,470 --> 01:36:29,670
and blame it on them.

2637
01:36:29,670 --> 01:36:32,730
- I would be surprised if
Koschei was part of this.

2638
01:36:32,730 --> 01:36:36,510
But it might be kind of a good
way to gauge the situation

2639
01:36:36,510 --> 01:36:39,120
by how long it takes for
him to get back to us.

2640
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:40,691
- [Murph] Yeah.
- [Siobhan] Smart.

2641
01:36:40,691 --> 01:36:41,524
[Zac] Or whatever.

2642
01:36:41,524 --> 01:36:44,070
- HJ, you have this
intensely momentous night

2643
01:36:44,070 --> 01:36:47,826
where you guys have attacked the Tremere

2644
01:36:47,826 --> 01:36:49,950
primogen of San Francisco unfolds.

2645
01:36:49,950 --> 01:36:52,560
The night also ends with you
looking across at LaVonte

2646
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:54,483
whom you still have not spoken to.

2647
01:36:55,470 --> 01:36:56,580
What's up?

2648
01:36:56,580 --> 01:36:57,720
Bird with me.

2649
01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:58,860
Always.

2650
01:36:58,860 --> 01:37:01,683
- [Brennan] You guys Bird
scooter away from here.

2651
01:37:02,604 --> 01:37:04,417
(players chattering over each other)

2652
01:37:04,417 --> 01:37:06,083
- You driving?
- No, we're both hanging off

2653
01:37:06,083 --> 01:37:08,190
and facing each other on the handlebars.

2654
01:37:08,190 --> 01:37:10,323
Beautiful, circus style.

2655
01:37:11,550 --> 01:37:12,750
You going somewhere?

2656
01:37:14,066 --> 01:37:15,748
I was thinking about it.

2657
01:37:15,748 --> 01:37:17,460
All right. What was it?

2658
01:37:17,460 --> 01:37:19,010
Austin.

2659
01:37:19,010 --> 01:37:20,227
What's the offer?

2660
01:37:21,077 --> 01:37:22,043
Seneschal.

2661
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,640
Couple of favors worked
out, fell the right way,

2662
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:27,847
and they made the offer.

2663
01:37:27,847 --> 01:37:30,210
- That's pretty good.
- It's not bad, slide in.

2664
01:37:30,210 --> 01:37:31,915
That's pretty good.

2665
01:37:31,915 --> 01:37:32,986
Leave all this behind.

2666
01:37:36,900 --> 01:37:38,116
Let's smoke to it.

2667
01:37:40,050 --> 01:37:43,087
Pick a number between one and 500.

2668
01:37:46,246 --> 01:37:48,788
439.

2669
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,133
439 years from this exact moment,

2670
01:37:54,183 --> 01:37:55,946
what do you want your life look like?

2671
01:37:59,700 --> 01:38:01,480
[Ally] This is gonna sound so stupid.

2672
01:38:01,480 --> 01:38:03,178
- (muffled) I hear you
but you gotta say it.

2673
01:38:04,020 --> 01:38:05,640
If we end up doing the night zoo,

2674
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,500
I kind of want to be the person

2675
01:38:07,500 --> 01:38:11,622
who runs the night petting
zoo for really young kids.

2676
01:38:11,622 --> 01:38:14,940
(players laughing)

2677
01:38:14,940 --> 01:38:17,220
So attainable, so fast.

2678
01:38:17,220 --> 01:38:21,180
- You're telling me after 439 years-

2679
01:38:21,180 --> 01:38:22,020
I'm not done.

2680
01:38:22,020 --> 01:38:23,190
Okay.

2681
01:38:23,190 --> 01:38:26,370
There's a beautiful shack, all wood.

2682
01:38:26,370 --> 01:38:28,620
Really orange lighting throughout.

2683
01:38:28,620 --> 01:38:30,603
There's a pottery wheel in there.

2684
01:38:32,190 --> 01:38:35,640
I'm just making sick pottery.

2685
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,170
The kind where you throw it in a fire

2686
01:38:37,170 --> 01:38:39,468
and you throw sticks at it during the-

2687
01:38:39,468 --> 01:38:40,343
It's called raku.

2688
01:38:40,343 --> 01:38:41,568
- It's called what?
- [Emily] Raku.

2689
01:38:41,568 --> 01:38:44,910
I want to be making raku pottery.

2690
01:38:44,910 --> 01:38:46,110
It's one of the most expensive kind.

2691
01:38:46,110 --> 01:38:47,670
Exactly.

2692
01:38:47,670 --> 01:38:51,150
And then when the kids come
in, I kind of teach them about,

2693
01:38:51,150 --> 01:38:55,140
you know, taking a turn and
we all feed the night animals

2694
01:38:55,140 --> 01:38:56,373
and then I,

2695
01:38:58,560 --> 01:38:59,790
and then I just go home

2696
01:38:59,790 --> 01:39:02,310
and I just, I feel good.

2697
01:39:02,310 --> 01:39:04,110
I just want to be able to kind of,

2698
01:39:04,110 --> 01:39:05,130
when I'm feeling stressed,

2699
01:39:05,130 --> 01:39:08,220
I put my bare feet in running water.

2700
01:39:08,220 --> 01:39:09,053
I'm not,

2701
01:39:10,050 --> 01:39:11,490
I'm not trying to get places

2702
01:39:11,490 --> 01:39:15,033
after being shot by the police
on the bottom of a riverbed.

2703
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:18,773
I just want it to be a little bit easier.

2704
01:39:18,773 --> 01:39:21,063
439 years, where do you see yourself?

2705
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:23,337
I'm in a spaceship.

2706
01:39:23,337 --> 01:39:25,770
(players laughing)

2707
01:39:25,770 --> 01:39:27,172
I'm in a spaceship.

2708
01:39:27,172 --> 01:39:28,830
439 fucking years.

2709
01:39:28,830 --> 01:39:30,817
I didn't say where the petting zoo was.

2710
01:39:30,817 --> 01:39:32,363
Maybe it's on fucking Mars.

2711
01:39:32,363 --> 01:39:34,410
We both fucking know it's not.

2712
01:39:34,410 --> 01:39:36,033
We both fucking know it's not.

2713
01:39:37,500 --> 01:39:38,940
Four hundred and thirty
fucking nine years.

2714
01:39:38,940 --> 01:39:40,710
You wanna be in a goddamn petting zoo.

2715
01:39:40,710 --> 01:39:43,410
I think it sounds quaint.

2716
01:39:43,410 --> 01:39:45,840
I think I'm done getting shot up,

2717
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:50,310
and I think I'm done with blood
raves where we kill someone.

2718
01:39:50,310 --> 01:39:54,690
I just want to just deeply
unplug, to be honest with you.

2719
01:39:54,690 --> 01:39:57,330
I want to be wearing just a really big

2720
01:39:57,330 --> 01:39:59,460
comfortable sweatshirt at night.

2721
01:39:59,460 --> 01:40:01,710
- You fucking surprised
I wanted to go to Austin?

2722
01:40:01,710 --> 01:40:02,754
You think I want to go to Austin?

2723
01:40:02,754 --> 01:40:04,060
No, I don't want to fucking go to Austin.

2724
01:40:04,060 --> 01:40:05,580
I want to build something here with you.

2725
01:40:05,580 --> 01:40:06,750
But I swear to fucking god,

2726
01:40:06,750 --> 01:40:08,190
if you don't wanna build anything,

2727
01:40:08,190 --> 01:40:09,725
if you just wanna put your fucking feet

2728
01:40:09,725 --> 01:40:12,330
in a goddamn fucking river,
I'll go to fucking Austin.

2729
01:40:12,330 --> 01:40:14,820
I gotta be honest. That's what I want.

2730
01:40:14,820 --> 01:40:17,370
I gotta be honest. It's
been hundreds of years.

2731
01:40:17,370 --> 01:40:20,340
I didn't know this shit even existed.

2732
01:40:20,340 --> 01:40:24,780
I tried it. I feel wonderful.

2733
01:40:24,780 --> 01:40:27,960
I feel like the chip on my
shoulder that made me need

2734
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,740
to have a bunch of status has dropped off,

2735
01:40:31,740 --> 01:40:35,070
like a scale of one of the
lizards at the petting zoo.

2736
01:40:35,070 --> 01:40:36,535
What if I still want status?

2737
01:40:36,535 --> 01:40:37,485
- I think that's awesome.
- What if I still

2738
01:40:37,485 --> 01:40:38,318
want to be somebody?

2739
01:40:38,318 --> 01:40:40,020
Why do we have to be the same person?

2740
01:40:40,020 --> 01:40:41,551
- We don't.
- Thank you.

2741
01:40:41,551 --> 01:40:42,600
- I just thought-

2742
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:44,182
We could compliment each other.

2743
01:40:44,182 --> 01:40:45,843
I sell you my raku.

2744
01:40:47,550 --> 01:40:49,110
What, I flip your raku?

2745
01:40:49,110 --> 01:40:50,010
Yes.

2746
01:40:50,010 --> 01:40:51,780
Sell it as local pottery.

2747
01:40:51,780 --> 01:40:53,275
- Outsider artist.
- From rural Oregon?

2748
01:40:53,275 --> 01:40:54,383
I mean, yeah.

2749
01:40:54,383 --> 01:40:55,216
Make a killing.

2750
01:40:55,216 --> 01:40:57,330
- It's 400 years from now.
You're on a spaceship.

2751
01:40:57,330 --> 01:41:00,090
I don't think they have
a lot of pottery on it.

2752
01:41:00,090 --> 01:41:05,090
You land, you load up on my
raku, and you go back to orbit.

2753
01:41:06,448 --> 01:41:07,890
What's the matter with you?

2754
01:41:09,060 --> 01:41:09,893
I don't know, man.

2755
01:41:09,893 --> 01:41:11,286
Austin sucks.

2756
01:41:11,286 --> 01:41:12,956
- It does.
- The queso is white.

2757
01:41:12,956 --> 01:41:15,480
It's disgusting, man.

2758
01:41:15,480 --> 01:41:18,090
It's a bad environment.

2759
01:41:18,090 --> 01:41:21,349
But I just don't...

2760
01:41:21,349 --> 01:41:24,120
I don't fuckin' buy Bingo
buses for my health.

2761
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,988
- Yeah, they didn't really
work out. I'm sorry about that.

2762
01:41:26,988 --> 01:41:29,910
- I want to be somebody.
I want to build something,

2763
01:41:29,910 --> 01:41:34,910
and sometimes I feel like what
you want to build is small.

2764
01:41:35,190 --> 01:41:36,937
What I want to build is big.

2765
01:41:36,937 --> 01:41:37,770
Yeah.

2766
01:41:37,770 --> 01:41:38,956
And I don't want to be stopped

2767
01:41:38,956 --> 01:41:41,220
from building something big.

2768
01:41:41,220 --> 01:41:45,663
- I can't imagine what
you're talking about,

2769
01:41:46,530 --> 01:41:48,717
'cause I've never tried to stop you.

2770
01:41:49,594 --> 01:41:51,335
(tender music begins)

2771
01:41:51,335 --> 01:41:52,950
Don't fuckin', don't fuckin',

2772
01:41:52,950 --> 01:41:53,880
don't fuckin' look at me like that.

2773
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,660
- I'm in your corner. I'm
just also in my own corner.

2774
01:41:57,660 --> 01:41:59,790
The most beautiful orange lighting

2775
01:41:59,790 --> 01:42:02,184
hitting natural wood panels.

2776
01:42:02,184 --> 01:42:04,230
(Emily laughing)

2777
01:42:04,230 --> 01:42:05,910
I don't need to be exactly where you're at

2778
01:42:05,910 --> 01:42:06,960
to be supporting you.

2779
01:42:08,223 --> 01:42:09,082
Yeah.

2780
01:42:09,990 --> 01:42:12,900
- Okay, that one Maya girl
really doesn't like you,

2781
01:42:12,900 --> 01:42:15,150
and she wants me to go
to dinner without you.

2782
01:42:16,214 --> 01:42:19,020
And I just need to let you know that.

2783
01:42:19,020 --> 01:42:19,853
That's fine.

2784
01:42:19,853 --> 01:42:23,550
- If you take Austin,
obviously I'll miss you, so

2785
01:42:23,550 --> 01:42:24,383
that would suck,

2786
01:42:24,383 --> 01:42:26,770
but it's really up to you.

2787
01:42:26,770 --> 01:42:27,870
I don't want to go to Austin.

2788
01:42:27,870 --> 01:42:30,266
- I think we can do what we
want to do here, I really do.

2789
01:42:30,266 --> 01:42:32,670
- Do you really think so?
- I really do.

2790
01:42:32,670 --> 01:42:33,990
The whole city's gotta be different

2791
01:42:33,990 --> 01:42:37,450
if I'm gonna be living in
a shack at the petting zoo.

2792
01:42:37,450 --> 01:42:39,150
I did just kill one of the council

2793
01:42:39,150 --> 01:42:40,590
of the primogen from San Francisco,

2794
01:42:40,590 --> 01:42:42,120
so that's probably a bad look anyway.

2795
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:43,920
Yeah, it seems like maybe you won't get

2796
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:45,580
the mega transfer that you want, but.

2797
01:42:45,580 --> 01:42:47,580
Yeah, you know she just...

2798
01:42:47,580 --> 01:42:49,410
You know, it's that way
they talk, those fuckin'-

2799
01:42:49,410 --> 01:42:50,243
[Ally] Yeah.

2800
01:42:50,243 --> 01:42:51,634
...pure bloods, man.

2801
01:42:51,634 --> 01:42:52,467
Totally.

2802
01:42:52,467 --> 01:42:53,658
They think they're better than you.

2803
01:42:53,658 --> 01:42:54,870
They really do.

2804
01:42:54,870 --> 01:42:56,370
The system says they are.

2805
01:42:56,370 --> 01:42:57,843
They really do.

2806
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,309
What'd she call you, boob?

2807
01:43:01,309 --> 01:43:03,330
She called me a boob.

2808
01:43:03,330 --> 01:43:05,130
I've never been more mad in my life.

2809
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:08,610
Let's go to the shooting range.

2810
01:43:09,650 --> 01:43:11,207
- You want to?
- [Ally] Yeah.

2811
01:43:12,090 --> 01:43:14,814
We tandem Bird to the shooting range.

2812
01:43:14,814 --> 01:43:17,566
(gun firing)

2813
01:43:17,566 --> 01:43:19,410
Such a long way to Bird.

2814
01:43:19,410 --> 01:43:20,580
[Ally] We got a juiced Bird.

2815
01:43:20,580 --> 01:43:21,870
We got a juiced Bird.

2816
01:43:21,870 --> 01:43:23,725
- [Brennan] You guys head
to the shooting range.

2817
01:43:23,725 --> 01:43:26,220
Both of you give me
either Composure, Insight

2818
01:43:26,220 --> 01:43:28,110
or Resolve, Insight,

2819
01:43:28,110 --> 01:43:29,790
and you can choose the higher

2820
01:43:29,790 --> 01:43:32,747
or the lower dice pool.
It's all how you feel.

2821
01:43:32,747 --> 01:43:33,747
[Lou] What's the other one?

2822
01:43:33,747 --> 01:43:35,814
Resolve, Insight or Composure, Insight.

2823
01:43:35,814 --> 01:43:38,310
(dice rattling)

2824
01:43:38,310 --> 01:43:40,623
[Ally] Six out of seven.

2825
01:43:41,982 --> 01:43:43,890
(players laughing)

2826
01:43:43,890 --> 01:43:44,873
[Murph] Insane.

2827
01:43:44,873 --> 01:43:46,800
(Lou laughing)

2828
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,072
- Four.
- [Brennan] Four.

2829
01:43:48,072 --> 01:43:49,530
(guns firing)

2830
01:43:49,530 --> 01:43:52,293
Firing at the shooting range.

2831
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:57,390
HJ, on six successes...

2832
01:43:57,390 --> 01:44:00,120
Making raku in a shed...

2833
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:02,520
I think that you are thinking about

2834
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,340
what LaVonte said about
building something here,

2835
01:44:05,340 --> 01:44:07,020
about wanting to build something.

2836
01:44:07,020 --> 01:44:11,485
And you've been a financier
your entire life and unlife,

2837
01:44:11,485 --> 01:44:12,930
ever since you were bit by a bat

2838
01:44:12,930 --> 01:44:15,270
in a dark tunnel and
turned into a vampire.

2839
01:44:15,270 --> 01:44:16,260
- While I was-

2840
01:44:16,260 --> 01:44:17,093
Claim jumping.

2841
01:44:18,770 --> 01:44:19,680
- It's a big part of the-

2842
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:20,790
Is that true?

2843
01:44:20,790 --> 01:44:21,623
- [Ally] Yeah.
- Do you think

2844
01:44:21,623 --> 01:44:23,490
HJ was really bit by a bat
while he was claim jumping?

2845
01:44:23,490 --> 01:44:24,360
Yes.

2846
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,720
- And you think back at all
this that's happened to you

2847
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:32,190
and realize your vast
unlife is such a gift

2848
01:44:32,190 --> 01:44:36,000
because you were able to be completely

2849
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,210
unpresent for a century
and get another chance.

2850
01:44:39,210 --> 01:44:43,260
And if you'd been mortal,
you'd be out of time,

2851
01:44:43,260 --> 01:44:44,193
and then some.

2852
01:44:45,210 --> 01:44:47,670
And I think you realize of all the things

2853
01:44:47,670 --> 01:44:49,200
that you've attempted to build here,

2854
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,780
you've been cutting
checks since you got here.

2855
01:44:51,780 --> 01:44:55,455
Patty Babcock's getting $600,000.

2856
01:44:55,455 --> 01:44:57,357
- We spent quite a lot,
yeah. Fleet of buses.

2857
01:44:57,357 --> 01:44:59,717
- You made the Rockefeller
tree, the fleet of buses.

2858
01:44:59,717 --> 01:45:00,964
Rockefeller tree.

2859
01:45:00,964 --> 01:45:03,214
- [Brennan] The Rockefeller
tree, the fleet of buses.

2860
01:45:03,214 --> 01:45:05,730
(players chattering over each other)

2861
01:45:05,730 --> 01:45:06,930
You bought Mike's Bar.

2862
01:45:06,930 --> 01:45:08,830
I think you do the math in your head.

2863
01:45:09,819 --> 01:45:11,770
I mean, you guys are fabulously wealthy.

2864
01:45:11,770 --> 01:45:12,953
But I'll tell you what
you haven't been doing

2865
01:45:12,953 --> 01:45:15,690
is focusing on your vast holding empire.

2866
01:45:15,690 --> 01:45:17,940
I don't know if you know how
you're doing finances-wise,

2867
01:45:17,940 --> 01:45:19,680
and you've been hemorrhaging money here.

2868
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,162
What did it get you? What have you gotten?

2869
01:45:22,162 --> 01:45:23,328
You've gotten a lot done,

2870
01:45:23,328 --> 01:45:24,753
but what did the money get you?

2871
01:45:25,620 --> 01:45:27,444
What did the food trucks get you?

2872
01:45:27,444 --> 01:45:29,640
You got Patty Babcock locked down,

2873
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:31,710
but you haven't started that campaign yet.

2874
01:45:31,710 --> 01:45:33,480
And I think there's just a question of,

2875
01:45:33,480 --> 01:45:35,670
what do you mean build?
What are we building?

2876
01:45:35,670 --> 01:45:38,070
And on four successes, LaVonte,

2877
01:45:38,070 --> 01:45:40,500
HJ's never gotten in your way,

2878
01:45:40,500 --> 01:45:43,500
and none of your dreams hinge on him.

2879
01:45:43,500 --> 01:45:46,380
Why does this feel so bad?

2880
01:45:46,380 --> 01:45:47,412
I think on four successes

2881
01:45:47,412 --> 01:45:49,650
you're just left with that question.

2882
01:45:49,650 --> 01:45:52,053
You are rich by yourself.

2883
01:45:53,010 --> 01:45:54,473
Nothing is stopping you.

2884
01:45:54,473 --> 01:45:56,370
There's nothing in your way.

2885
01:45:56,370 --> 01:45:58,380
Opportunity is right in front of you

2886
01:45:58,380 --> 01:46:01,860
at the end of a short and
broad and well-lit road.

2887
01:46:01,860 --> 01:46:06,063
And that's not making this
moment feel any better.

2888
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:09,630
Zaeth, we cut back to you.

2889
01:46:09,630 --> 01:46:11,730
Do you do anything later that evening?

2890
01:46:11,730 --> 01:46:14,770
- Use some logging equipment
to chop a car into pieces.

2891
01:46:14,770 --> 01:46:15,636
Hell yeah.

2892
01:46:15,636 --> 01:46:17,757
As you're disposing the bodies,
your phone begins to ring.

2893
01:46:17,757 --> 01:46:19,663
(saw whirring)
(phone buzzing)

2894
01:46:19,663 --> 01:46:20,496
Oh shit.

2895
01:46:20,496 --> 01:46:21,501
Fuck.

2896
01:46:21,501 --> 01:46:23,730
- Zaeth.
- You got Zaeth. Sorry.

2897
01:46:23,730 --> 01:46:26,266
Kind of a service thing. So, what's up?

2898
01:46:27,628 --> 01:46:30,134
Zaeth, we have received a

2899
01:46:31,170 --> 01:46:34,683
distress call from the
Tremere here in San Francisco.

2900
01:46:35,610 --> 01:46:38,610
Ermine has gone missing,

2901
01:46:38,610 --> 01:46:41,400
somewhere in airspace.

2902
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:43,143
Have you seen anything in Purpee?

2903
01:46:44,310 --> 01:46:46,413
Framing out the chopped up car.

2904
01:46:47,250 --> 01:46:49,371
Sorry. What?

2905
01:46:49,371 --> 01:46:50,804
(Lou laughing)

2906
01:46:50,804 --> 01:46:52,197
- We don't have-
- [Zac] Ermine missing?

2907
01:46:52,197 --> 01:46:54,740
- We don't have a bead
on Ermine Damanescu,

2908
01:46:54,740 --> 01:46:56,550
and Tremere have reached out to us,

2909
01:46:56,550 --> 01:46:58,050
asking if we know anything.

2910
01:46:58,050 --> 01:46:59,633
Tremere's reaching out.

2911
01:46:59,633 --> 01:47:01,367
Wow. It's crazy.

2912
01:47:03,540 --> 01:47:05,760
I'll keep an ear out, I guess.

2913
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:06,840
What have you heard?

2914
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,540
- I have heard nothing.
We are looking for Ermine.

2915
01:47:09,540 --> 01:47:12,622
- Who is she, like,
working with, by the way?

2916
01:47:12,622 --> 01:47:14,550
(dice rattling)

2917
01:47:14,550 --> 01:47:17,760
- I'm gonna need Manipulation,
Subterfuge from you.

2918
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:19,100
- I'm gonna Blood-

2919
01:47:20,370 --> 01:47:21,341
Okay.

2920
01:47:21,341 --> 01:47:24,174
(dramatic music)

2921
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,355
That's one, two, three. Three?

2922
01:47:32,355 --> 01:47:33,813
He looks at you.

2923
01:47:35,161 --> 01:47:36,135
"Zaeth?"

2924
01:47:36,135 --> 01:47:37,440
Yeah?

2925
01:47:37,440 --> 01:47:40,934
Did Ermine make it to Purpee?

2926
01:47:43,937 --> 01:47:44,903
Yeah.

2927
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:48,270
Thank you for telling me the truth.

2928
01:47:48,270 --> 01:47:49,920
What happened when she got there?

2929
01:47:50,959 --> 01:47:53,506
- She fuckin' bit off
more than she could chew.

2930
01:47:55,950 --> 01:47:57,420
She rolled up to Purpee.

2931
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,896
Rebel Purpee.

2932
01:48:02,896 --> 01:48:04,196
Motherfucker.

2933
01:48:04,196 --> 01:48:05,980
(players laughing)

2934
01:48:05,980 --> 01:48:07,655
Look, Koschei.

2935
01:48:09,458 --> 01:48:10,708
This is Purpee.

2936
01:48:12,292 --> 01:48:14,158
- Fuck me.
(players laughing)

2937
01:48:16,045 --> 01:48:17,098
[Ally] Welcome to the OC, bitch.

2938
01:48:17,098 --> 01:48:20,498
- She's not in San
Francisco anymore, Koschei.

2939
01:48:23,130 --> 01:48:24,838
When you step in shit in Purpee,

2940
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:30,267
you're gonna track that all
the way to your goddamn grave.

2941
01:48:34,393 --> 01:48:35,226
You...

2942
01:48:36,332 --> 01:48:37,470
you.

2943
01:48:37,470 --> 01:48:40,765
- I'm the motherfuckin'
prince of Purpee, Koschei.

2944
01:48:40,765 --> 01:48:42,514
(players laughing)

2945
01:48:42,514 --> 01:48:44,452
What do you want from me?

2946
01:48:44,452 --> 01:48:45,952
Look at that. That's her car.

2947
01:48:47,070 --> 01:48:49,800
Those are her little ghouls.

2948
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:51,150
That's what's left of them.

2949
01:48:51,150 --> 01:48:53,910
I wasn't lying when we last talked.

2950
01:48:53,910 --> 01:48:57,270
She was messing around
with some stupid bullshit,

2951
01:48:57,270 --> 01:48:59,531
with some idiots that I don't even know.

2952
01:49:02,910 --> 01:49:04,980
You told me to step into my own,

2953
01:49:04,980 --> 01:49:08,883
and here I am in the
full light of my Elysium.

2954
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:12,750
My council of primogens are hanging out.

2955
01:49:12,750 --> 01:49:17,005
They're not here right now, but
they're a part of this team.

2956
01:49:17,005 --> 01:49:19,764
You are prince?

2957
01:49:21,886 --> 01:49:24,330
You were chosen

2958
01:49:24,330 --> 01:49:27,300
by your coterie as prince?

2959
01:49:27,300 --> 01:49:31,560
They unanimously, all in a blind vote,

2960
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:35,678
selected me out of the
hat, and I'm not lying.

2961
01:49:35,678 --> 01:49:38,100
(players laughing)

2962
01:49:38,100 --> 01:49:39,268
- [Brennan] You see, you see he-

2963
01:49:39,268 --> 01:49:42,180
Unanimously out of a hat.

2964
01:49:42,180 --> 01:49:44,790
- Go ahead and give me
Charisma, Persuasion,

2965
01:49:44,790 --> 01:49:48,210
and you may add any
Influence you have here

2966
01:49:48,210 --> 01:49:49,920
or Mentor that you have here.

2967
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:51,090
Mentor?

2968
01:49:51,090 --> 01:49:53,151
- Whatever the background
that gives you Koschei.

2969
01:49:53,151 --> 01:49:55,260
- It gives like a Notable Sire.
- I don't think I...

2970
01:49:56,790 --> 01:49:58,352
- [Brennan] Just add two dice.
- [Zac] Okay.

2971
01:49:58,352 --> 01:50:00,533
- I think you add three
more for Purpee style?

2972
01:50:02,610 --> 01:50:03,997
[Murph] Step in shit in Purpee.

2973
01:50:03,997 --> 01:50:05,360
Can you add two for being a prince?

2974
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,500
[Siobhan] Yeah, plus seven for prince.

2975
01:50:07,500 --> 01:50:10,410
- Absolutely no successes.
- No! No!

2976
01:50:10,410 --> 01:50:11,490
I'm gonna use a Willpower?

2977
01:50:11,490 --> 01:50:13,372
[Brennan] Okay. You got it.

2978
01:50:13,372 --> 01:50:14,205
I've never seen that.

2979
01:50:14,205 --> 01:50:16,830
I've never seen such a thing.

2980
01:50:16,830 --> 01:50:18,130
- Oh, a crit.
- A crit!

2981
01:50:19,185 --> 01:50:20,343
Four successes.

2982
01:50:21,750 --> 01:50:22,920
- [Lou] Jesus.
- Christmas.

2983
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:24,450
All right, maybe it wasn't blind,

2984
01:50:24,450 --> 01:50:27,390
but they chose me after
I nominated myself.

2985
01:50:27,390 --> 01:50:28,590
You nominated yourself.

2986
01:50:28,590 --> 01:50:31,983
- I stepped into the power,
not in shit like her.

2987
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:35,131
He looks at you and says,

2988
01:50:36,024 --> 01:50:39,900
"Zaeth, you have destroyed

2989
01:50:39,900 --> 01:50:42,090
the Tremere primogen

2990
01:50:42,090 --> 01:50:43,653
of San Francisco,

2991
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,820
and as prince of Purpee,

2992
01:50:47,820 --> 01:50:49,563
that is your right.

2993
01:50:50,580 --> 01:50:54,660
You have my and Clan Brujah's

2994
01:50:54,660 --> 01:50:56,313
full support.

2995
01:50:57,720 --> 01:50:59,620
If Ermine Damanescu

2996
01:51:00,690 --> 01:51:01,743
crossed you...

2997
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:06,000
Did she bring violence to your city?"

2998
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:07,470
Absolutely.

2999
01:51:07,470 --> 01:51:10,298
Her ghouls just were
like- (mimics gunshots)

3000
01:51:10,298 --> 01:51:11,556
- on the street.
- Know this,

3001
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:15,060
Ermine had many friends.

3002
01:51:15,060 --> 01:51:16,980
They will look to harm you.

3003
01:51:16,980 --> 01:51:21,120
Every step you make will be scrutinized.

3004
01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:25,413
They will move against
you, but you are my childe.

3005
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:30,840
And if they cross you,
they will cross all of us.

3006
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:35,115
And our response will be
to meet them, Purpee style.

3007
01:51:35,115 --> 01:51:36,563
Purpee style.

3008
01:51:37,472 --> 01:51:38,495
Clan Brujah.

3009
01:51:38,495 --> 01:51:39,960
Clan Brujah.

3010
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:42,180
May they bring little booties

3011
01:51:42,180 --> 01:51:45,270
for all the shit on all the ground

3012
01:51:45,270 --> 01:51:48,090
they're gonna track everywhere.

3013
01:51:48,090 --> 01:51:50,400
Purpee's covered in shit.

3014
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:51,233
Okay.

3015
01:51:51,233 --> 01:51:54,993
- And they're gonna
need new goddamn shoes.

3016
01:51:56,460 --> 01:51:58,720
Bring a fuckin' cobbler, idiots.

3017
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:02,737
(players laughing)

3018
01:52:02,737 --> 01:52:03,869
Tell 'em I said that.

3019
01:52:05,340 --> 01:52:06,720
They will make moves against you.

3020
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:09,856
But know, I will be at your side.

3021
01:52:11,281 --> 01:52:12,150
Wow.

3022
01:52:12,150 --> 01:52:15,270
I did not know

3023
01:52:15,270 --> 01:52:16,953
my sire.

3024
01:52:17,940 --> 01:52:21,570
I became a vampire

3025
01:52:21,570 --> 01:52:26,040
drowning in blood at
the bottom of a bunker

3026
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:27,513
in the Battle of Stalingrad.

3027
01:52:30,046 --> 01:52:31,207
Whoa.

3028
01:52:31,207 --> 01:52:34,813
- The horrors I have
seen have left me cold.

3029
01:52:36,390 --> 01:52:38,823
But there is hope, yes.

3030
01:52:40,653 --> 01:52:41,873
Love you, blood dad.

3031
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:44,900
I love you, my little boychik.

3032
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:47,488
Okay.

3033
01:52:47,488 --> 01:52:49,704
- I gotta go.
- I gotta go.

3034
01:52:49,704 --> 01:52:51,495
Wow.

3035
01:52:52,440 --> 01:52:54,420
- And it's the right of a
prince to call the blood hunt.

3036
01:52:54,420 --> 01:52:57,213
And because you had
selected Zaeth as prince.

3037
01:52:58,458 --> 01:52:59,297
Rebel Purpee.

3038
01:52:59,297 --> 01:53:00,138
[Lou] Rebel Purpee.

3039
01:53:00,138 --> 01:53:01,933
- Rebel Purpee.
- [Brennan] Rebel Purpee.

3040
01:53:03,249 --> 01:53:04,447
What is it?

3041
01:53:04,447 --> 01:53:06,449
It's this, and then that, and then this.

3042
01:53:06,449 --> 01:53:07,841
This, this, dude.

3043
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:11,534
Locked, you lock, you load.

3044
01:53:11,534 --> 01:53:12,525
You fire.

3045
01:53:12,525 --> 01:53:13,358
Yeah.

3046
01:53:13,358 --> 01:53:14,705
You fire up?

3047
01:53:14,705 --> 01:53:17,233
(all talking)

3048
01:53:17,233 --> 01:53:19,694
Lock, load, fire.

3049
01:53:19,694 --> 01:53:21,394
Fuck yeah, dude.

3050
01:53:21,394 --> 01:53:23,190
This ain't San Francisco.

3051
01:53:23,190 --> 01:53:24,270
This ain't San Francisco.

3052
01:53:24,270 --> 01:53:26,190
This is fuckin' Purpee.

3053
01:53:26,190 --> 01:53:28,349
- Madelaine.
- So fucking funny.

3054
01:53:28,349 --> 01:53:29,182
Yeah.

3055
01:53:29,182 --> 01:53:32,010
- Madelaine, leaving the
horror of that night,

3056
01:53:32,010 --> 01:53:34,290
you arrive back at the home

3057
01:53:34,290 --> 01:53:36,850
and there's a message on your phone

3058
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:41,130
offering to connect you
right before sunrise

3059
01:53:41,130 --> 01:53:44,733
with a friend of the Marquis.

3060
01:53:48,750 --> 01:53:49,891
You know,

3061
01:53:51,471 --> 01:53:54,750
actually I think

3062
01:53:54,750 --> 01:53:57,305
that I'm living in motherfucking Rome.

3063
01:53:57,305 --> 01:53:59,580
(Brennan laughing)

3064
01:53:59,580 --> 01:54:02,520
And I don't need to go
to fucking Melbourne

3065
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:04,590
with its little cute little trams

3066
01:54:04,590 --> 01:54:06,960
and no fucking opera house,
'cause we are going to build

3067
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:10,470
an opera house slash zoo
right here in Purpee.

3068
01:54:10,470 --> 01:54:12,360
- The Marquis de Lafayette
forwards a voice note saying,

3069
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:15,453
"Hi, this is Chip Linby,
the prince of Melbourne,

3070
01:54:16,406 --> 01:54:18,510
(Emily laughing)

3071
01:54:18,510 --> 01:54:19,518
wondering if you'd like to do some

3072
01:54:19,518 --> 01:54:21,426
vampire things down here."

3073
01:54:21,426 --> 01:54:23,313
I throw up from disgust.

3074
01:54:24,420 --> 01:54:26,250
- We've got a whole sort
of secret government,

3075
01:54:26,250 --> 01:54:28,203
a cabal of vampires,

3076
01:54:29,550 --> 01:54:31,800
and we do nefarious ends.

3077
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:35,400
You know? So let me know. Get in touch.

3078
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:36,690
We'd love to speak about you

3079
01:54:36,690 --> 01:54:38,812
being a harpy here at our Elysium.

3080
01:54:38,812 --> 01:54:41,580
We have it near the beach, so that's nice.

3081
01:54:41,580 --> 01:54:43,128
Also a romance language.

3082
01:54:43,128 --> 01:54:46,890
(all laughing)

3083
01:54:46,890 --> 01:54:48,802
You must love it, being French.

3084
01:54:48,802 --> 01:54:50,040
Do you respond to the Marquis?

3085
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:52,440
Here is what I'll say.

3086
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:56,703
I'll say: I want to come back to Paris.

3087
01:54:57,930 --> 01:55:01,230
And then I send this voice note
to my friends in the coterie

3088
01:55:01,230 --> 01:55:03,210
so that we can make fun of it.

3089
01:55:03,210 --> 01:55:04,210
[Brennan] Incredible.

3090
01:55:05,700 --> 01:55:08,970
You guys all have Chip Linby,
the prince of Melbourne's-

3091
01:55:08,970 --> 01:55:11,627
- I immediately send
back my impression of it,

3092
01:55:11,627 --> 01:55:13,460
- word for word.
- I am Chip Limmy-

3093
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:17,490
Not too far after that,

3094
01:55:17,490 --> 01:55:20,490
Bat Child, you had a
near-death experience.

3095
01:55:20,490 --> 01:55:22,080
Yeah, what does that mean?

3096
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:23,569
You're still badly injured.

3097
01:55:23,569 --> 01:55:25,231
- Okay.
- But because you didn't get

3098
01:55:25,231 --> 01:55:26,064
all the way to torpor,

3099
01:55:26,064 --> 01:55:26,897
you can heal naturally

3100
01:55:26,897 --> 01:55:28,168
over the course of the next few nights.

3101
01:55:28,168 --> 01:55:29,001
Okay.

3102
01:55:29,001 --> 01:55:31,830
- And I think there's a
night, traveling up, you guys

3103
01:55:31,830 --> 01:55:33,660
get some more blood and are able to heal

3104
01:55:33,660 --> 01:55:37,200
another point of Aggravated
damage from Cody.

3105
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,170
Walking up with all of those successes

3106
01:55:40,170 --> 01:55:43,290
that you rolled in the preceding episode,

3107
01:55:43,290 --> 01:55:44,400
high on the ridge,

3108
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:48,420
you guys pass through the
Caroline Vine Trailhead,

3109
01:55:48,420 --> 01:55:52,170
beautiful vines up on these
heather-covered ridges,

3110
01:55:52,170 --> 01:55:54,600
pine trees swaying.

3111
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:58,050
You see these two massive

3112
01:55:58,050 --> 01:56:00,840
lichen-covered stones,

3113
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:02,095
and you see that, all of them,

3114
01:56:02,095 --> 01:56:04,920
they're tall stones that have fallen over

3115
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:07,480
and almost look, you realize, like

3116
01:56:08,670 --> 01:56:12,743
reposed lupine figures.

3117
01:56:12,743 --> 01:56:14,108
They're not carved at all,

3118
01:56:14,108 --> 01:56:15,960
but they just have that look to them,

3119
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:19,050
in that way when dogs
have their front legs

3120
01:56:19,050 --> 01:56:19,883
tucked under them

3121
01:56:19,883 --> 01:56:21,658
and their back legs tucked under them.

3122
01:56:21,658 --> 01:56:23,274
And that's the trailhead?

3123
01:56:23,274 --> 01:56:25,500
- You pass both these
stones on the trailhead

3124
01:56:25,500 --> 01:56:27,150
and as you walk up under the light,

3125
01:56:27,150 --> 01:56:29,910
you see Cody is here with
a couple of other teenagers

3126
01:56:29,910 --> 01:56:33,180
who clearly are full runaway mode,

3127
01:56:33,180 --> 01:56:37,440
like hoodies up,
backpacks, on a night hike,

3128
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:41,280
heading up, and in the
whisper of the trees,

3129
01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:42,399
you hear-

3130
01:56:42,399 --> 01:56:46,530
(heavy footsteps)

3131
01:56:46,530 --> 01:56:47,793
Cody turns around.

3132
01:56:48,900 --> 01:56:50,018
"Jay Slice?"

3133
01:56:50,940 --> 01:56:54,360
Emerging from the trees,
looking down at you, Vesper,

3134
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:55,285
is Bigfoot.

3135
01:56:55,285 --> 01:56:56,118
Yes.

3136
01:56:57,960 --> 01:56:59,652
Mr. Bigfoot.

3137
01:56:59,652 --> 01:57:00,560
My pupil.

3138
01:57:01,546 --> 01:57:06,030
- I have been training
so hard in your image.

3139
01:57:06,030 --> 01:57:09,540
You create such a profound example,

3140
01:57:09,540 --> 01:57:11,643
and I only want to be worthy of it.

3141
01:57:13,350 --> 01:57:15,951
I practice all the time
in an empty library.

3142
01:57:15,951 --> 01:57:16,895
As you should.

3143
01:57:18,870 --> 01:57:23,670
- We actually have deep
need of your assistance.

3144
01:57:23,670 --> 01:57:25,083
Were you here when

3145
01:57:26,580 --> 01:57:28,410
a name I can't say,

3146
01:57:28,410 --> 01:57:32,370
but a very powerful
fertility deity came here?

3147
01:57:32,370 --> 01:57:34,015
Do you know who I'm referring to?

3148
01:57:34,015 --> 01:57:34,848
I do.

3149
01:57:34,848 --> 01:57:35,681
I mouth it.

3150
01:57:37,567 --> 01:57:38,920
Jack of the W.

3151
01:57:39,973 --> 01:57:42,140
- Wait.
- Different.

3152
01:57:42,140 --> 01:57:43,770
Jack of the P.

3153
01:57:43,770 --> 01:57:44,667
Jack of the what?

3154
01:57:44,667 --> 01:57:46,380
- Of the P.
- J of the P.

3155
01:57:46,380 --> 01:57:47,310
J and the P.

3156
01:57:47,310 --> 01:57:48,730
- Of the pine.
- [Emily] Yeah.

3157
01:57:48,730 --> 01:57:49,920
- [Lou] Dude.
- Jack of the P.

3158
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:51,003
Come on, man.

3159
01:57:51,990 --> 01:57:53,158
Jack and the B?

3160
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:55,170
I said W.

3161
01:57:55,170 --> 01:57:56,407
What? What's up?

3162
01:57:58,146 --> 01:57:59,170
I'm off.

3163
01:57:59,170 --> 01:58:00,270
Lock in, brother.

3164
01:58:00,270 --> 01:58:01,486
I'm starstruck.

3165
01:58:03,030 --> 01:58:04,194
Me too, me too.

3166
01:58:04,194 --> 01:58:09,000
- He looks and says, "The
spirit that has haunted Purpee

3167
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,360
for many decades was unknown to me.

3168
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:13,770
It is not until quite recently

3169
01:58:13,770 --> 01:58:15,180
that I've been able to return,

3170
01:58:15,180 --> 01:58:19,140
but it was before that time
that the spirit had come.

3171
01:58:19,140 --> 01:58:23,430
I was almost killed in my first combat

3172
01:58:23,430 --> 01:58:26,373
with the one you refer to as Jack."

3173
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:29,610
Well, I'm sure you learned a lot.

3174
01:58:29,610 --> 01:58:33,540
And this time you can
have some powerful backup.

3175
01:58:33,540 --> 01:58:35,433
Darkness Man, turn into trash.

3176
01:58:36,660 --> 01:58:37,493
- [Brennan] He goes-

3177
01:58:38,442 --> 01:58:39,942
- [Ally] Fast-moving trash.

3178
01:58:39,942 --> 01:58:41,703
"A pile of trash deep in the forest."

3179
01:58:42,660 --> 01:58:43,735
He turns and says,

3180
01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:46,273
"Troubling indeed.

3181
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,410
I must speak with my order.

3182
01:58:49,410 --> 01:58:50,970
There is one of our number

3183
01:58:50,970 --> 01:58:53,940
that may know from
whence this spirit comes

3184
01:58:53,940 --> 01:58:56,820
or the secret places to
which he can be returned,

3185
01:58:56,820 --> 01:59:00,390
for indeed, he is powerful
and cannot be destroyed."

3186
01:59:00,390 --> 01:59:01,680
Who else is in your order?

3187
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:03,840
Are there other Bigfeet?

3188
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:05,490
No. Well, kind of.

3189
01:59:05,490 --> 01:59:07,770
There's one other that's
sort of like a Bigfoot.

3190
01:59:07,770 --> 01:59:08,670
Little foot?

3191
01:59:08,670 --> 01:59:09,870
No.

3192
01:59:09,870 --> 01:59:11,108
- Medium-sized foot.

3193
01:59:11,108 --> 01:59:13,260
Our order spans across the world.

3194
01:59:13,260 --> 01:59:16,163
I here in North America.

3195
01:59:16,163 --> 01:59:17,460
A yeti?

3196
01:59:17,460 --> 01:59:20,279
My cousin in Asia in the Himalayas.

3197
01:59:20,279 --> 01:59:21,353
Oh yes.

3198
01:59:21,353 --> 01:59:24,570
- There's a member of
my order deep in a lake

3199
01:59:24,570 --> 01:59:26,190
in the Highlands of Scotland,

3200
01:59:26,190 --> 01:59:28,380
who I believe may know the secrets

3201
01:59:28,380 --> 01:59:30,480
from where this Jack first came.

3202
01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:31,470
(whispers) Nessie.

3203
01:59:31,470 --> 01:59:33,300
You have met my colleague.

3204
01:59:33,300 --> 01:59:34,470
No, but, like, everybody knows.

3205
01:59:34,470 --> 01:59:35,730
Everybody knows her.

3206
01:59:35,730 --> 01:59:36,563
Heard of Nessie, yeah.

3207
01:59:36,563 --> 01:59:37,396
So famous.

3208
01:59:37,396 --> 01:59:39,222
[Ally] It's so cool that you know her.

3209
01:59:39,222 --> 01:59:41,580
You guys group up and let us know

3210
01:59:41,580 --> 01:59:43,530
what sort of support we can give you,

3211
01:59:43,530 --> 01:59:46,740
because we're all in on banishing...

3212
01:59:46,740 --> 01:59:50,173
- If you need a Tommy
gun, we can get you that.

3213
01:59:50,173 --> 01:59:52,931
- I do need a Tommy gun,
but not for that reason.

3214
01:59:52,931 --> 01:59:54,450
If you need a cannon

3215
01:59:54,450 --> 01:59:56,070
that you can use like a gun.

3216
01:59:56,070 --> 01:59:57,660
I got a cannon guy.

3217
01:59:57,660 --> 01:59:59,340
You need a cannon, we'll get you a cannon.

3218
01:59:59,340 --> 02:00:00,633
But here's our bazooka.

3219
02:00:01,530 --> 02:00:04,140
He takes it, straps it to his back.

3220
02:00:04,140 --> 02:00:08,700
"Long will be the walk ahead
of me to confer with Nessie,

3221
02:00:08,700 --> 02:00:11,580
but this bazooka will
aid me on my journey."

3222
02:00:11,580 --> 02:00:13,140
Wait, can I have it back?

3223
02:00:13,140 --> 02:00:13,973
No.

3224
02:00:13,973 --> 02:00:15,688
- You're going to-
- [Lou] How long are you gone?

3225
02:00:15,688 --> 02:00:17,070
It's Bigfoot's bazooka now.

3226
02:00:17,070 --> 02:00:18,390
It's Bigfoot's bazooka.

3227
02:00:18,390 --> 02:00:21,690
- The sun is ascendant,
those of the canine folk.

3228
02:00:21,690 --> 02:00:23,010
Didn't mean to give it to him.

3229
02:00:23,010 --> 02:00:24,570
While the sun is ascendant,

3230
02:00:24,570 --> 02:00:26,820
there will be no opposing the Douglases.

3231
02:00:26,820 --> 02:00:29,880
Not until the solstice will
you be able to defeat them.

3232
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:31,260
Oh, that's the summer.

3233
02:00:31,260 --> 02:00:32,492
Wait, that's right around-

3234
02:00:32,492 --> 02:00:34,410
Wait, that's around the monster...

3235
02:00:34,410 --> 02:00:35,243
Is that around?

3236
02:00:35,243 --> 02:00:36,076
[Ally] The horror fest.

3237
02:00:36,076 --> 02:00:38,070
- You know Estelle Laurent?
- [Ally] Yes.

3238
02:00:38,070 --> 02:00:39,840
She is a member of my order.

3239
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:41,106
- [Lou] Really?
- Really?

3240
02:00:41,106 --> 02:00:42,852
Does she practice kumite?

3241
02:00:42,852 --> 02:00:44,855
No. I keep trying to get her to start.

3242
02:00:44,855 --> 02:00:45,750
Did you have sex with her?

3243
02:00:45,750 --> 02:00:47,700
- With Estelle Laurent?
- [Siobhan] Yeah.

3244
02:00:47,700 --> 02:00:50,190
She's not into guys, so that's tough.

3245
02:00:50,190 --> 02:00:51,681
Okay. Damn.

3246
02:00:51,681 --> 02:00:52,920
No, it's not tough,

3247
02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:53,753
but you know.

3248
02:00:53,753 --> 02:00:54,586
No. Yeah.

3249
02:00:54,586 --> 02:00:56,134
I knew her. I knew, yeah.

3250
02:00:56,134 --> 02:00:57,964
It was a...

3251
02:00:57,964 --> 02:01:00,370
What a woman. Importantly-

3252
02:01:00,370 --> 02:01:01,530
Wow.

3253
02:01:01,530 --> 02:01:03,420
I will walk across North America

3254
02:01:03,420 --> 02:01:06,150
and the bottom of the Atlantic
Ocean to arrive in Scotland

3255
02:01:06,150 --> 02:01:07,590
where I will confer with Nessie.

3256
02:01:07,590 --> 02:01:09,690
How long is that gonna take?

3257
02:01:09,690 --> 02:01:10,560
A few days.

3258
02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:11,820
Oh.

3259
02:01:11,820 --> 02:01:13,376
And you're gonna take the bazooka?

3260
02:01:13,376 --> 02:01:15,600
- It's the gait.
- [Ally] It's the gait.

3261
02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:17,398
And he's wearing trainers.

3262
02:01:17,398 --> 02:01:19,186
- Are there any deities
at the bottom of the ocean

3263
02:01:19,186 --> 02:01:20,280
that we don't know about?

3264
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:21,602
Also is Atlantis real?

3265
02:01:21,602 --> 02:01:22,628
[Siobhan] Oh, a Kraken?

3266
02:01:22,628 --> 02:01:24,692
Oh, I gotta know about Atlantis.

3267
02:01:24,692 --> 02:01:25,773
Atlantis?

3268
02:01:26,940 --> 02:01:30,000
The only reason I stop
in Atlantis these days

3269
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:33,450
is to continue my search for
lost Lemuria and ancient Mu,

3270
02:01:33,450 --> 02:01:35,460
deep beneath the waves.

3271
02:01:35,460 --> 02:01:37,693
Atlantis is sort of a starter sunken city.

3272
02:01:38,919 --> 02:01:40,500
The ancient city of Lyonesse?

3273
02:01:40,500 --> 02:01:42,128
Oh yes.

3274
02:01:42,128 --> 02:01:43,530
Okay. Okay.

3275
02:01:43,530 --> 02:01:45,480
Is Mothman real?

3276
02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:48,840
- Mothman has not been in
our order for some time.

3277
02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:50,370
So he's real, but he's rogue?

3278
02:01:50,370 --> 02:01:52,249
- He has betrayed.
- Oh.

3279
02:01:52,249 --> 02:01:53,249
Oh, the drama.

3280
02:01:53,249 --> 02:01:54,720
It's even better. It's even better.

3281
02:01:54,720 --> 02:01:55,680
Never would've thought.

3282
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:59,820
- Has any rock star ever gotten
two of their ribs removed

3283
02:01:59,820 --> 02:02:02,006
so they can suck their own dick?

3284
02:02:02,006 --> 02:02:03,488
(all laughing)

3285
02:02:03,488 --> 02:02:06,300
- Looks at you and says, "Keith Richards-

3286
02:02:06,300 --> 02:02:07,590
No fucking way.

3287
02:02:07,590 --> 02:02:10,828
- ...got both of Marilyn
Manson's ribs removed."

3288
02:02:11,730 --> 02:02:12,810
He did it to him.

3289
02:02:12,810 --> 02:02:13,643
Keith...

3290
02:02:15,060 --> 02:02:17,460
Keith Richards is the greatest

3291
02:02:17,460 --> 02:02:19,392
kumite master on the planet.

3292
02:02:19,392 --> 02:02:21,003
(all talking)

3293
02:02:21,003 --> 02:02:23,550
He ran up and grabbed
Marilyn Manson's ribs

3294
02:02:23,550 --> 02:02:25,540
through his stomach and ripped them out.

3295
02:02:25,540 --> 02:02:29,040
(all talking)

3296
02:02:29,040 --> 02:02:32,808
- Keith Richards is a
supporter of women, ultimately.

3297
02:02:32,808 --> 02:02:36,180
- Ultimately, not in a way
that I've ever seen involve

3298
02:02:36,180 --> 02:02:39,000
not ripping Marilyn Manson's
ribs out of his body

3299
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:40,230
at the middle of a concert.

3300
02:02:40,230 --> 02:02:41,063
But yes.

3301
02:02:42,060 --> 02:02:43,570
Did you write that down?

3302
02:02:43,570 --> 02:02:47,730
- Yeah, beat- I mean, best Keith Richards.

3303
02:02:47,730 --> 02:02:49,140
Easy, pupil.

3304
02:02:49,140 --> 02:02:50,970
Keith Richards is not easily bested.

3305
02:02:50,970 --> 02:02:53,040
Yeah, but we only grow if we dream big.

3306
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,347
He looks and smiles and says,

3307
02:02:55,347 --> 02:02:58,410
"I will search for the hidden
knowledge of this Jack,

3308
02:02:58,410 --> 02:03:01,323
but I will tell you this
now, here in this time,

3309
02:03:02,490 --> 02:03:04,620
the deity you seek to oppose

3310
02:03:04,620 --> 02:03:09,030
is a malevolent and angry
spirit with a large family

3311
02:03:09,030 --> 02:03:13,980
of dedicated cultists that
support and feed the god.

3312
02:03:13,980 --> 02:03:15,360
While the sun is ascendant,

3313
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:17,730
there will be no opposing
this green spirit.

3314
02:03:17,730 --> 02:03:22,500
But perhaps after the solstice,
there will be some chance.

3315
02:03:22,500 --> 02:03:26,160
What I tell you now is quite simple.

3316
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:29,640
You must learn as much
as you can of the spirit

3317
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:30,690
and those that support it

3318
02:03:30,690 --> 02:03:33,150
in this time approaching the solstice.

3319
02:03:33,150 --> 02:03:35,400
You must act in this manner.

3320
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:39,360
This spirit almost destroyed me.

3321
02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:42,270
It commands the flow

3322
02:03:42,270 --> 02:03:45,450
of those vital living things,

3323
02:03:45,450 --> 02:03:50,190
the sap of spring, the
salt-rich blood of the body.

3324
02:03:50,190 --> 02:03:52,200
With a but a single touch,

3325
02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:55,830
it can both start and stop a heart

3326
02:03:55,830 --> 02:03:58,170
and almost destroyed mine.

3327
02:03:58,170 --> 02:04:03,170
But not for my unfortunate
alliance with the demon Kupuru

3328
02:04:03,660 --> 02:04:05,910
who was able to at least keep

3329
02:04:05,910 --> 02:04:08,340
this Jack at bay for some time."

3330
02:04:08,340 --> 02:04:12,693
Is Kupuru opposed to...

3331
02:04:14,087 --> 02:04:17,740
- Kupuru is a malevolent
trickster demon, opposed

3332
02:04:18,930 --> 02:04:23,010
in some ways to the plans of all beings.

3333
02:04:23,010 --> 02:04:26,130
As Jack wished for domination and control

3334
02:04:26,130 --> 02:04:29,037
to sink his roots deep
into the heart of Purpee

3335
02:04:29,037 --> 02:04:30,810
and stop it here,

3336
02:04:30,810 --> 02:04:34,710
Kupuru thought it funny and
malevolent to oppose that,

3337
02:04:34,710 --> 02:04:38,820
but Kupuru would also not wish
for any peace in this place.

3338
02:04:38,820 --> 02:04:41,910
- So, but I'm saying in
a moment of dire need,

3339
02:04:41,910 --> 02:04:46,290
we could seek out the
lust for chaos of Kupuru.

3340
02:04:46,290 --> 02:04:47,400
- Yes.
- [Emily] Okay.

3341
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:50,850
- But I've only seen
one pure enough of heart

3342
02:04:50,850 --> 02:04:54,450
to actually compel Kupuru

3343
02:04:54,450 --> 02:04:59,294
to freeze around his demonic gemstone.

3344
02:04:59,294 --> 02:05:00,723
Nancy Danderhoof.

3345
02:05:01,890 --> 02:05:04,890
- Do you know Nancy
Danderhoof? Where is she?

3346
02:05:04,890 --> 02:05:07,347
Nobody knows. She won't tell us?

3347
02:05:07,347 --> 02:05:08,593
God, she's good.

3348
02:05:08,593 --> 02:05:09,722
She's really good.

3349
02:05:09,722 --> 02:05:10,760
I can't let her find me.

3350
02:05:10,760 --> 02:05:12,134
- I've gotta go.
- Staying at the hotel.

3351
02:05:12,134 --> 02:05:13,350
I gotta fucking go right now.

3352
02:05:13,350 --> 02:05:15,420
Shit, I gotta fucking go right now.

3353
02:05:15,420 --> 02:05:16,253
I'm taking the bazooka.

3354
02:05:16,253 --> 02:05:17,086
Thank you. Goodbye.

3355
02:05:17,086 --> 02:05:17,924
- I was gonna ask-

3356
02:05:17,924 --> 02:05:19,980
- Who was the one that
could oppose Kupuru?

3357
02:05:19,980 --> 02:05:22,530
"When he was young and had the strength,

3358
02:05:22,530 --> 02:05:25,546
there was one here in town
named Herbert Melvin."

3359
02:05:25,546 --> 02:05:26,679
(players gasping)

3360
02:05:26,679 --> 02:05:28,890
You see that he runs off into the woods.

3361
02:05:28,890 --> 02:05:29,790
That gait.

3362
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:32,869
So fast.

3363
02:05:32,869 --> 02:05:34,739
Cody goes, "That was crazy."

3364
02:05:34,739 --> 02:05:36,360
Yeah, that was wild.

3365
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:37,803
Okay, wait, but if...

3366
02:05:37,803 --> 02:05:41,910
Jerk off the Penis commands
the sap of the spring

3367
02:05:41,910 --> 02:05:42,990
and he can stop a heart,

3368
02:05:42,990 --> 02:05:45,039
that's not a problem for us, right?

3369
02:05:45,039 --> 02:05:47,339
Jerk off the Penis?

3370
02:05:47,339 --> 02:05:49,168
- I just wrote J of the-

3371
02:05:49,168 --> 02:05:51,010
- Like a code name.
- Nicknames.

3372
02:05:51,010 --> 02:05:51,843
(all talking)

3373
02:05:51,843 --> 02:05:52,676
Jerking off.

3374
02:05:53,703 --> 02:05:55,608
Jack of the P.

3375
02:05:55,608 --> 02:05:56,531
Okay. Jack of the P.

3376
02:05:56,531 --> 02:05:58,627
J off the P.

3377
02:05:58,627 --> 02:06:00,602
- Let's just call him Jack.
- Jack off.

3378
02:06:00,602 --> 02:06:05,035
- I wonder if Herbert
Melvin compelled Kupuru

3379
02:06:06,330 --> 02:06:10,650
and forgot about it if it
was a deed so encompassing

3380
02:06:10,650 --> 02:06:12,196
that he forgot about it.

3381
02:06:12,196 --> 02:06:14,100
Or he had a really good poker face

3382
02:06:14,100 --> 02:06:16,230
when he watched you take that.

3383
02:06:16,230 --> 02:06:18,000
With that meeting with Bigfoot,

3384
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:21,900
you guys look at the months
unrolling ahead of you

3385
02:06:21,900 --> 02:06:23,790
as being very straightforward.

3386
02:06:23,790 --> 02:06:26,040
The Douglases are ascendant in power

3387
02:06:26,040 --> 02:06:28,740
until the summer solstice,
which is June 21st,

3388
02:06:28,740 --> 02:06:32,220
the same weekend as the
Laurent Horror Festival.

3389
02:06:32,220 --> 02:06:36,137
You guys have Patty Babcock locked up,

3390
02:06:36,137 --> 02:06:40,020
and a race for city council and
months of work ahead of you.

3391
02:06:40,020 --> 02:06:41,610
If Bingo the dog is gonna run,

3392
02:06:41,610 --> 02:06:44,190
that means you're gonna
be running two campaigns

3393
02:06:44,190 --> 02:06:45,368
at the same time.

3394
02:06:45,368 --> 02:06:47,070
Three, if it's also Helen.

3395
02:06:47,070 --> 02:06:48,961
- Three of it's also Helena.
Yeah, that's correct.

3396
02:06:51,030 --> 02:06:54,270
- We might not run our own
competition against ourselves.

3397
02:06:54,270 --> 02:06:55,720
Let's open up another seat.

3398
02:06:57,240 --> 02:06:59,160
- The seats surely are
all up for election.

3399
02:06:59,160 --> 02:07:00,180
- [Brennan] The seats
are all up for election.

3400
02:07:00,180 --> 02:07:02,550
- So we can run one of them
against the Douglas seat.

3401
02:07:02,550 --> 02:07:03,600
[Brennan] Yeah.

3402
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:06,840
A lot of work unveils itself to you

3403
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:09,570
with the knowledge also that somewhere

3404
02:07:09,570 --> 02:07:13,353
Ermine Damanescu's
friends are hard at work.

3405
02:07:14,970 --> 02:07:16,020
The chips are down,

3406
02:07:16,020 --> 02:07:18,480
and the fate of Purpee
hangs in the balance.

3407
02:07:18,480 --> 02:07:19,560
That's all for this episode of

3408
02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:21,720
"Dimension 20: City Council of Darkness."

3409
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:22,553
We'll see you next week

3410
02:07:22,553 --> 02:07:25,680
for the penultimate
episode of this season.

3411
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:26,513
See you there.

3412
02:07:29,070 --> 02:07:30,270
"I'm gonna finish up this lap dance

3413
02:07:30,270 --> 02:07:31,800
and then let's talk more outside."

3414
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:32,633
Okay, great.

3415
02:07:32,633 --> 02:07:36,000
- God, I'm so nervous about
the big speech I have to give.

3416
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:37,830
- As prince?
- As prince.

3417
02:07:37,830 --> 02:07:39,860
- "I owe you an apology."
- You do.

3418
02:07:39,860 --> 02:07:41,873
(all laughing)

3419
02:07:41,873 --> 02:07:43,983
Roofus is not running for mayor.

3420
02:07:45,260 --> 02:07:46,474
I'm a vampire.

3421
02:07:46,474 --> 02:07:47,457
"What?"

3422
02:07:47,457 --> 02:07:48,750
Hello, bots.

3423
02:07:48,750 --> 02:07:51,752
Oh my god. We're fucked.

3424
02:07:51,752 --> 02:07:53,550
Spirits.

3425
02:07:53,550 --> 02:07:57,829
You've been drowned by the Whittakers.

3426
02:07:57,829 --> 02:08:02,010
- The business is worth
over 771 million dollars

3427
02:08:02,010 --> 02:08:05,089
Our business is quite rich.

3428
02:08:05,089 --> 02:08:07,260
Why are we living in the suburbs?

3429
02:08:07,260 --> 02:08:09,630
"Oh my god. It's like that movie."

3430
02:08:09,630 --> 02:08:11,490
Yes, exactly. You got it.

3431
02:08:11,490 --> 02:08:14,280
"What do you guys have behind you?"

3432
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:15,113
Money.

3433
02:08:15,113 --> 02:08:15,946
Enthusiasm.

3434
02:08:15,946 --> 02:08:18,367
Baby, baby, no. Baby, no.

3435
02:08:18,367 --> 02:08:19,753
Baby, no.

3436
02:08:19,753 --> 02:08:21,913
LaVonte is so sprung.

3437
02:08:21,913 --> 02:08:23,760
I'm gonna tell you in a second.

3438
02:08:23,760 --> 02:08:25,200
Why can't you tell me yet?

3439
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,053
Because I need to roll dice, Zaeth.
