Good evening, everybody. Happy

1:14

the first time for chaos.

1:16

in October, and

1:19

next week might be the final episode. Who

1:21

knows? I don't know. Last week, I

1:23

I talked to big game. I was gonna be

1:25

an episode to remember, and

1:27

it was great, but we didn't get to

1:31

eighty percent of what I had planned because

1:34

we just We were in that hotel room for

1:36

a long time when we got to the party and things got

1:38

weird.

1:38

So there's a good chance tonight. We'll

1:41

get to what I planned, but probably

1:43

not. This could go thirty, forty

1:45

episodes, season one. Who knows? But

1:47

we are in October. We've talked

1:50

about horror movies before. Are you

1:52

guys big Halloween

1:54

fans, like dress up the whole

1:56

nine yards. Has

1:59

it always been your

1:59

thing? Are you trying to get back into it?

2:02

We'll start with you, Ross. Are you do you

2:04

have your costume already picked out for this year?

2:07

the

2:08

I don't mean to be a sports sport,

2:10

but I'm not the biggest reconsider.

2:13

Okay. I'm like I'm at

2:15

Halloweeners as I call it. Right. Like,

2:18

I I appreciate. I do love

2:20

candy.

2:21

I I do love hallmovies and spooks

2:23

and freights, but

2:25

I'm not the biggest, like, let

2:28

me play my costume four months

2:30

in advance. and and show

2:32

up to the party fully prosthetics up.

2:35

I I don't I don't

2:37

know why, but I'm yeah.

2:39

It's not it's not my fave holiday. I

2:41

do I do love I do love like

2:43

pumpkin

2:43

pies and fall and stuff. Oh, sure.

2:46

Yeah. They're not mutually exclusive.

2:48

I think because I I was once like

2:50

you, and I'm slowly getting back into

2:52

it as I see my children get fired up

2:54

about it. Mhmm. But I think it's because

2:57

as actors we're constantly

2:59

wearing costumes and dressing up. So it's kinda

3:01

like, oh, you want we're supposed to do

3:03

it for amateur hours as well. Alright. I'll put

3:05

on a little costume. But,

3:08

like, that when you're doing theater

3:10

in, like, high school and college and -- Mhmm. -- plays

3:12

your conflict. You got your makeup and your costumes.

3:14

It's Halloween every few months. Halloween

3:16

is every day for me. So But

3:20

that's the reason to step it up even

3:22

more on Halloween. Well, I didn't

3:24

have to ask where you stand on I'm sure

3:26

you've got a closet full

3:28

for every day in October. You're big into

3:30

it. Right? Yes?

3:31

I love Halloween. I've loved Halloween

3:33

is always my favorite holiday as a

3:35

kid which explains why

3:36

the cost playing into my adult Mhmm.

3:40

But, yeah, I always loved it. last

3:42

year I had two Halloween costumes. Yeah.

3:45

Like, I so I I already have

3:47

my one picked out for at least

3:49

one of them already ready to go for

3:51

for this year trying to think of if I'm

3:53

gonna do another one or not, but we'll

3:55

see.

3:56

Are you giving any hints as

3:58

to what it is or is it gonna be a

3:59

big surprise?

4:01

Should I tell the nation?

4:02

Oh my God. Wait. We should

4:04

guess. Okay. Yes. I guess.

4:07

A sexy carmedicine worker. No.

4:13

Alright. That was my that's all I had.

4:15

What is even that? Like light bulbs? Like,

4:45

I'm gonna Google dead Chrissy, and

4:47

I'm afraid I'm gonna see. Don't look at

4:50

Oh, it's Suzanne Summers. And

4:53

three is her character from three's company.

4:55

Just so I'm dipping away and throwing off

4:57

a balcony by Larry. Oh,

4:59

wow. This is horrific. If you just

5:01

googled dead Chrissy, it

5:03

immediately comes up and it is horrifying.

5:05

It's a horrifying image. Yep.

5:08

So I'm going out. Oh, wow. Okay.

5:11

Yeah. That's your full I got the full costume.

5:14

Is your other costume alive, Chrissy?

5:17

I mean, I could. Just give us

5:19

just different makeup. I'm

5:21

Chrissy, but alive. Early

5:24

in the night, You could be alive, Chrissy. And you're

5:26

like, oh, I have got to go to the bathroom. I'll be right

5:28

back and then come out and you're dead Chrissy.

5:31

Jim costumes, one guy.

5:32

You could. I could do that. I could do

5:34

that. get that that one's that one's on the house.

5:36

That's freebie from Troy. Probably.

5:39

You usually charge people for that I don't wanna

5:41

know the you'll get an invoice out. I don't wanna know the

5:43

second costume. No

5:44

worries, guys. I don't have one yet. I'm not thinking of

5:46

the second one. No. Does this type

5:48

of going to, like, a party? Or

5:50

is this like, is there an event we don't

5:52

have no idea.

5:52

That's always very last minute for me, but I

5:54

will always have the costume

5:55

ready to go. Mhmm.

5:56

because I always gotta do the ones for the grams. You know,

5:58

like, the the grams has to costumes

6:01

gotta be

6:01

there. For all the grandmother's Instagram.

6:04

Also those. Yeah. The Instagram. I thought

6:06

your grandmother's a huge Halloween fan and you're

6:08

like You know, you gotta do it for the grands. I

6:10

I get knitting, I get

6:12

knitting sponsorships.

6:14

So

6:16

yeah. I don't know

6:16

what my second was gonna be. It would usually it's

6:18

it's usually like some sort of more costly,

6:21

like, my take on on a demon or my

6:23

take on this or that. And that's more makeup

6:25

involved. That's fun. Rob,

6:28

I know you're a horror movie

6:30

fan. Are you a a dress

6:32

up and go fan? Usually

6:34

not because mostly

6:36

because I put off putting any thought

6:38

into it, and then it gets

6:40

too close. And then I It then it's the

6:43

pendulum swings the other way. I'm like, oh, fuck this whole holiday.

6:45

Even though it's in my fault for a

6:47

not putting myself in a position, I shouldn't feel good

6:49

about it. But, like, in theory, I love it because I love

6:51

scary movies and I love all that. stuff. But the more

6:53

everyone's talking about their their

6:55

psyche about it, I am

6:57

realizing I think that there was

6:59

a Halloween dance that I went to in

7:01

junior high. And I think it

7:03

fucked everything up for me after that because I

7:05

went full out. Like, I went to

7:07

Freddie Kruger. I spent a week experimenting

7:10

with liquid latex on my face and

7:12

like letting it dry and then picking it,

7:14

so it would blister up, then put makeup on it,

7:16

like dark red inside the circles. I was

7:18

like full tanzzanine on my own face.

7:21

And I made like I got fabric

7:23

glue and made like the sweater with strips

7:25

of green felt on a red sweatshirt. had a

7:27

fedora, had the glove, like, the

7:29

the glove from, like, hot topic that you could get.

7:31

Yeah. Well, damn, who ruined it for you?

7:33

Yeah. I'm not

7:35

this doesn't sound right. The girls did

7:38

at the dance because I was so

7:40

excited and I went and I did a

7:42

and I did a small dance. with a girl

7:44

and just she was just like,

7:46

god, you smell so bad.

7:48

It was because the fabric

7:50

glue, the liquid latex, And

7:52

it was like, that was not she was not the first

7:55

person to say that in the evening. No.

7:57

But that was the it was all building up to that as

7:59

a contingency with this girl who, of course, is like a foot and a

8:01

half taller than me. I was in love with

8:03

her. I said, cool. What is that odor?

8:06

That's you. Oh, god. You know? Plus, you're

8:08

saying it's so gross. Rob Trauma.

8:10

Yeah. And so No. This is the worst part.

8:12

Right? So she says that,

8:14

that's the final straw. I'm like fuck. I'm taking this

8:16

fucking thing. And I go into the bathroom and

8:19

I peel the whole face off And

8:21

I'm just like fuck this. And while I'm in

8:23

the bathroom, they announced that I've

8:25

won best costume event.

8:30

And it was just it was like a it was

8:32

just like a typical story of

8:34

my life. I was just like I

8:36

was so concerned about what about

8:38

this. No. I swear to God. I was so concerned

8:40

about how people felt about me

8:42

or especially girls

8:44

that it forced me to make a decision

8:47

that then I came out and it's all

8:49

my fault. I mean, I should've just been confident

8:51

in. I looked like Freddie Krueger. It's like, yeah,

8:53

that's pretty crude, you know. But, no, I let I

8:55

let other other influencing

8:57

factors destroyed

8:59

my night. So then that kind of added

9:02

a poll to the future

9:05

Halloween's That'll ruin

9:07

a

9:07

dance for you so you could, like,

9:09

relive, like, re

9:10

fix that trauma and show up

9:12

again. It's like a reality show with us. Yeah.

9:14

We'll track down that girl

9:16

and Maker's tell

9:18

tell you that you smell really good. Yeah.

9:20

And then they will reenact you winning

9:22

the award. That's That's a be fun. I'm I'm

9:24

sure that there's been advancements in liquid latex

9:26

technology where now it smells like

9:28

a spring metal. But Well, for

9:30

a second, ulcer of skunk phermon's on the

9:32

girls. Yeah. They're the stinky

9:34

ones. Like like, carry

9:36

except it's -- Yeah. -- they're not gonna love

9:38

it too. Kate,

9:41

I did see you in a costume last year because

9:43

we did our glass cannon live

9:45

on Halloween weekend. Everybody was

9:47

dressed up And you were what

9:49

were you? Top Top Gun? What the hell were

9:51

you? No. I was someone from the

9:53

Expanse. I just, like, got

9:55

one of those, like, jump suit things. I've

9:57

always wanted one. So I was

9:58

like, this is a good excuse to

9:59

get one. And then I, like,

10:02

printed out on fabric like the Rasa

10:03

Nante logo and, like, the engineer thing and

10:06

just, put that on and was like, there's

10:08

my costume. Yeah.

10:10

Like, I I like Halloween just fine, but

10:12

I feel like you're not allowed to just, like,

10:14

like, like it regular. It's like, everyone on

10:16

the planet. It's just, like, I've been planning for months

10:19

and I've got, hey, Class I'm going to seven

10:21

parties and I'm like, I I like

10:23

the idea of that. like, when I

10:25

see people doing it and when I go out in Halloween,

10:27

not super dressed up, I'm just like, I wish

10:29

I put in more effort, but like I'm

10:31

never gonna I only, like, went all

10:33

out once, and it was fun. But, like,

10:35

it's just mostly stressful planning

10:37

it. And I

10:39

did it once. I did it up

10:41

once, and I'm I'm done. You're

10:43

done? Yeah. Yeah. No. That's

10:45

that's how I feel. It feels like a lot of work

10:47

and if you if you do it all

10:49

up and it's it's all for

10:51

not, then you just feel like, what did

10:53

I do? I'm a try hard

10:55

now. I I

10:57

realized also sure that part of my reticence

10:59

is that I've I

11:00

feel like I burned most of the costumes

11:02

that incorporate lasses because I've always got to,

11:04

like, keep keep walking around in the

11:06

dark, also blind. So

11:08

I've been buddy Holly. I've

11:11

been Garth from

11:13

Wayne's world. I've been

11:15

Simon from Alvin in the chip months.

11:18

Who's left? He's gone.

11:20

They I've been going on a a sherman

11:22

and peabody. He's he's sort of when

11:24

you've committed to a facial hairstyle, and

11:26

you don't wanna, you know, lose it for one

11:28

night. that also influences, like, when

11:30

I had to have a beard for seven straight

11:33

years, it was, you know,

11:35

limits your choices -- Mhmm. -- a lot of the

11:37

t ten and bombs.

11:38

Well,

11:42

let's see. We by next week, if

11:44

if you don't have a costume, see

11:46

if you've changed your mind. I I will have

11:48

a show in Brooklyn

11:50

on October

11:52

twenty second, and I thought

11:54

that was like, far enough from Halloween that we

11:56

didn't have to dress up. But then on

11:58

stage in Boston, skitt is like, hey, is y'all come?

12:00

We're all gonna dress up. And I'm like, I guess, we're all

12:02

dressing up. not gonna buy a fucking costume.

12:04

I think I've got an idea,

12:07

but I wanna tweak it a little bit.

12:09

Damn it skid. I do

12:11

not. So we're all gonna dress up now. Are

12:13

you gonna give us there are you gonna have us a

12:15

hat? It is oh,

12:17

here's my hat. It is from a classic

12:19

eighty's cartoon. Awesome.

12:21

I love this. Gummy bear. So my

12:24

backup is -- Yep. -- sexy gummy bear. The

12:26

street shark. He's sexy gummy

12:28

bear. sexy gummy bear. It's

12:30

John Candy from Camp Candy. Yeah.

12:32

Don't let me start on Saturday morning, Crock,

12:34

Thanksgiving. No sense that they're not on TV today.

12:36

over dangerfield. Let's

12:42

talk about time for chaos because

12:45

according to my watch, that's on this hand.

12:47

Oh, it's time for chaos.

12:49

Quick little recap from last week. I emailed you

12:51

guys today, so I'm pretty much just gonna

12:53

paraphrase that. It's Friday night. Oh.

12:57

It's actually Friday night. In real

12:59

life as well. Well, no. We're prerecording this,

13:01

but for you at home, The million's

13:03

watching at home. It's Friday, unless you watch it

13:05

on YouTube later. Whatever. The point is

13:07

in the story, it's Friday night.

13:09

And you have traveled to

13:11

Westchester past sing sing

13:13

sing prison in the distance where

13:15

hopefully Hilton Adams

13:17

is still alive, but maybe he's already

13:20

had his day. with old

13:22

sparky. But you traveled to Westchester

13:25

to go to the Carlisle

13:27

Mansion. Vaughan

13:29

and FAIRUS were kind

13:31

of split up into twos. Vaughan and FAIRUS

13:33

were looking for Erica Carlisle

13:35

to speak with her because

13:37

you all this information you wanna

13:39

share with her about her dead

13:41

brother. And you

13:43

got a meeting with her, but you feel like that

13:45

meeting is gonna take too long. You met a lawyer

13:47

Bradley Gray, and he said, I'll see what

13:49

I can do. You're able to sweet talk

13:51

him. But time is of the essence. You

13:53

need information. And

13:56

so you're looking for her at this

13:58

party. Everyone's dressed to the nines.

14:00

Maybe some of you feel a little bit out of

14:02

place. even though you either

14:04

borrowed or stole or

14:06

had Vaughan buy you nice

14:08

clothing. But

14:10

while you're looking for Erica Vaughn

14:13

gets accosted by Bradley Gray,

14:15

seems to have taken a bit of an interest.

14:17

in mister Billiers. And while

14:20

you're chatting with him,

14:22

Feiruz looks over and sees her

14:24

father. canoodling with

14:26

a young girl in the

14:28

corner. She goes

14:30

off to perhaps confront him.

14:32

Meanwhile, Margo and Carter

14:35

were looking for a room where

14:37

possibly there would be a

14:39

safe. You're looking for Roger

14:43

Carlisle safe. But there

14:45

are armed guards everywhere. You

14:47

look upstairs, arm guards up

14:49

there. And so you're looking for a way maybe

14:51

to circumvent the guard

14:53

upstairs. And as you're looking for

14:55

that, Margo notices a

14:57

man who's staring at her

14:59

and she thinks it's

15:01

the guy that was standing in the rain

15:04

staring at her when she and Carter

15:06

were at the deli speaking to

15:08

lieutenant pool just the day

15:10

before. This man that was just staring, she

15:12

went outside in the rain to try and track him

15:14

down, and he just peered. Speaking

15:16

of lieutenant Bull, you didn't hear

15:18

from him all day. He was kind

15:20

of noncommittal, kind of

15:22

wrecked by the photographs you showing

15:24

him, but you explained to him that

15:26

Millie Adams and who knows who else

15:28

could be in great danger. He

15:30

needs to act on this. He said he would

15:32

do it sort of off the books

15:34

and get back to you. He hasn't.

15:37

You called the precinct and you're getting the

15:39

runaround from them a little bit.

15:41

So depending on what goes down at the

15:43

party. Correct me

15:45

if I'm wrong, and it seems like your current

15:47

plan is to extract

15:50

as much information as you can

15:52

from this charity gala to

15:54

save Brooklyn orphans. And

15:57

after the festive festivities

15:59

tonight head back to the city, rest

16:01

regroup. And if you don't hear

16:03

back from lieutenant pool by

16:05

tomorrow, you're

16:07

looking to head to juju house either

16:10

tomorrow during the day or at night,

16:12

which is the dark of the moon, Saturday

16:14

night, and you know that the dark of the

16:16

moon has some sort of connection.

16:18

to all of this, according to what Hilton

16:20

Adams said.

16:25

Where should we begin? How about with a luck pro.

16:27

Let's see because you're

16:29

gonna need all the luck in the world

16:31

tonight, especially if we get through

16:34

anything that I've actually planned.

16:38

Once again, this is a role that you're trying

16:40

to fail. And if you do fail,

16:41

what if you roll your exact luck

16:44

number?

16:44

That's considered a success. Oh.

16:47

Damn it. Pooped salad. Yeah.

16:50

If it was the other way around, like, if you were trying

16:52

to succeed, you wanna hit on or

16:55

below your number. Mhmm. So

16:57

technically, that's a failure. But if you did I mean, a

16:59

success. But if you failed, give yourself an

17:01

extra deten. Any failures tonight?

17:03

A failure. Human failure. Just

17:06

kidding. Give yourself a d ten. What'd

17:08

you get? I got a five. Woo.

17:11

Knock you. That's

17:13

good.

17:13

got forty seven now. I'm really flying my

17:15

way back up.

17:16

I also because I

17:19

I just wanna throw one thing out there

17:21

player wise. for the Erica Carlisle thing.

17:23

So I feel like since we're here and we're

17:25

up against it with the Milli Adam

17:27

situation and everything,

17:29

Obviously, we wanna talk to her about her

17:32

brother's

17:32

expedition and all that stuff, but I feel

17:34

like trying to lean on her for help in

17:36

this current by tying the two

17:38

together. Like, you could

17:41

stop what happened to your brother from stopping right now or in

17:43

the middle of it. It's all happening as like a, you know,

17:45

it's probably a preliminary, but

17:48

if if we've lost pool and

17:50

we got nowhere else to go apart

17:52

from walking in the Judeo house that's just

17:54

before of us, It might be

17:57

something fun to try. That's all.

17:59

Totally.

17:59

She thinks she knows if there's anybody who's

18:02

still alive. Well,

18:04

that's

18:04

part of the, you know, we wanna tell her that,

18:06

but it was more like, make some

18:08

calls. You're super rich. Get some

18:10

police down there that's not the fourteenth precinct

18:13

or whoever. Oh,

18:14

to be his hail Mary. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

18:16

It's

18:16

only twelve us. It's worth the with

18:18

Hilton or whatever. Yeah. It's

18:20

worth a shot. Right

18:21

at the end

18:23

of last episode, you see I think

18:25

Bradley is like, oh, it's Erica.

18:28

as all of you are starting to see other

18:30

people and wander around. So I imagine

18:32

she stands at the base of the

18:34

stairs and maybe walks up two or three

18:36

stairs or so, so she's slightly above

18:39

everyone in the room and,

18:41

like, taps her champagne

18:43

glass and everyone. turns and

18:46

attention and there's maybe there's there's a piano

18:48

player who stops

18:51

playing, right, when producer hit

18:54

the the music. So the violins There's this

18:56

the violin. The violin is immediately

18:58

stopped and they smashed their

19:00

violins and the ground. Where that

19:02

sound? I really wanna get the players in this

19:04

-- It's a record scratch. -- to curve. To curve.

19:07

Oh god.

19:10

DJ Callon's been shot. No.

19:13

It's the point of show. It's

19:15

the point of

19:19

show. Good, Kjell. On the ones and twos today,

19:21

thank you, And she's

19:25

I should give you a physical description

19:27

of her, which I should have had prepared, but

19:29

I was so excited. She

19:32

is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful in a

19:34

natural beauty. She has

19:37

clear pale skin

19:39

that is accentuated ever so

19:42

carefully by perfectly applied

19:44

makeup. She's wearing very

19:46

fashionable clothing Vaughn

19:49

and Margo, you would immediately notice.

19:51

She's wearing clothing by European

19:53

designers. It has a very European

19:55

flair about it. She has

19:58

blonde hair that is

20:00

just kind of styled into short

20:03

cropped curls. and she's got

20:05

not a t hour but sort of a

20:07

diamond encrusted headband on.

20:10

She she definitely catches

20:12

the eye and when she does this, everyone

20:14

turns to look at her. And she

20:16

says, welcome, everyone. Thank you so

20:18

much for coming this evening.

20:20

The money that we have

20:23

raised tonight and we'll

20:25

continue to raise over the coming

20:27

weeks will go such a

20:29

long way to helping these poor

20:31

lawsuits in the borough

20:33

of Brooklyn. I cannot

20:36

thank you enough. It is a cause that is always been

20:38

near and dear to my heart.

20:41

And and and to see

20:43

this this outpouring of not

20:45

only money, but affection

20:47

and interest in this cause, just

20:50

truly warms my heart. So

20:53

you're not here to listen to me talk. Anyways, just

20:55

enjoy the party, drink up,

20:57

not too much. And

20:59

if you need anything,

21:02

we have plenty of

21:04

butlers here to help you

21:06

in any way. Two,

21:08

the orphans. And everyone raises

21:10

a glass. There are orphans. Yeah.

21:14

Yeah. Yeah. And she comes down

21:16

the staircase, and she's

21:18

just, like, kind of greeted by people

21:20

who are smiling at her and

21:23

looking, bond. You're

21:25

talking with Bradley and Bradley's

21:27

like, so mister Villas, what were

21:29

we talking about I'm I'm just I'm a I

21:32

have to admit I'm a bit in my cups

21:34

and I have lost

21:36

my train of thought.

21:38

and he puts his hand, like, right on your chest. Mhmm. And

21:40

his turn is like, yes, I

21:43

suppose it's quite easy

21:43

to lose what's the trade of thought when confronted

21:46

with the Miss

21:48

Carlyle and all her glorious radiant.

21:51

Yes, isn't she awe inspiring?

21:53

I could only hope to

21:56

Draw as much as tension as she

21:58

do when she walks into a room. Yes,

22:00

sir. No. Not all of us are

22:02

as gifted with social gravity. I

22:04

don't suppose I couldn't persuade you to

22:07

provide me with a personal introduction over the course

22:09

of tonight's proceedings. Oh,

22:12

nice suppose, but I

22:14

would be careful as to what you talked

22:16

to her about. You know, we don't want to be

22:18

rude. This is a a gala to

22:22

Raise money. This isn't a time to,

22:24

shall we say, pursue your own

22:27

interest. But look at

22:29

me. Not even eating my own

22:31

advice.

22:32

Yes, mister Gray. Well, I

22:35

assure

22:35

you I'll be the soul of discretion.

22:38

I think we understand the importance of

22:41

discretion. Don't do it? Oh, but

22:43

of course. Oh, actually,

22:45

you know, miss Carlyle

22:47

miss Carlyle, and she turns and

22:49

she kinda looks at Bradley and she says,

22:51

yes, Bradley. Thank you for coming this

22:53

evening. And and who is

22:55

your friend here?

22:58

Excellent. And I will

23:00

turn and, like,

23:02

and extend my hand.

23:06

I've been looking forward to this introduction very

23:09

much, miss

23:10

Carlisle. My name

23:12

is Villas, Warren Villas. Charles,

23:15

she puts her hand out for you to kiss it and she's

23:17

like Villas. Villas,

23:20

no, where do I know that name?

23:22

Oh, yes, mister Grey

23:25

mentioned you and your

23:27

associates were interested in

23:29

speaking with me, yes, now it's

23:31

all coming back to me. This is

23:33

all with regards to my

23:35

dead brother. Is it not?

23:38

oh Well,

23:40

since you've

23:41

been so bold just to

23:43

bring it up, I I

23:47

You've called me out, miss

23:49

Carla. Yes, indeed, we we did wish to speak to

23:51

you about that matter, but that

23:53

matter only, but how it

23:55

touches upon ongoing

23:59

occurrences.

23:59

Oh, yes. then she grabs another

24:02

champagne from like a a waiter coming by

24:04

and she's like, I run along, Bradley.

24:06

Let me speak with mister Villas

24:08

and he's like, oh, Yes.

24:11

Yes. Of course, miss Carlisle,

24:13

and he scurries off, kinda

24:16

gives a a look towards the both

24:18

of you. but she turns to you and

24:20

she's like, Bradley's

24:22

a good lawyer and

24:24

a a close confidant. for

24:26

what it's worth. And for

24:28

that and that reason alone is why

24:30

I considered taking a

24:32

meeting out of respect for

24:34

him but even he should have known better that I have no interest

24:36

in discussing Roger.

24:38

I spent enough time traveling over

24:40

to that dreadful continent and back

24:42

ever want to revisit any

24:44

thoughts of him. He's passed, mister

24:47

Villas. It's time to move on.

24:49

Though I must admit you're showing up here does have

24:51

my intention. I intention rather

24:54

I do enjoy a a person

24:56

who is bold and you appear

24:58

to be bold. You also appear to

25:01

be a man of means, so I can assume you

25:03

are not crashing this party. No

25:06

indeed. And Your

25:08

philanthropic attitude has my deepest

25:10

admiration, miss Carla. We

25:12

do what we can. Those

25:14

of us with means should

25:16

give back wouldn't you agree, mister Villas? It is the burden of

25:18

those of us who have been gifted with

25:20

a certain comfort that we

25:22

may act as the instruments

25:24

by which others may rise

25:27

out of their present predicament. But

25:29

they must

25:31

do good in the

25:33

world. if we have the means to do

25:36

so. Yes. That is very well put.

25:38

Rather poetic, I may

25:40

say. mister Villas. What is it what is

25:42

it that you do for work?

25:44

I could first,

25:47

you've caught me out again. Work has never been so

25:49

much my line. I suppose there are some that

25:51

could come precisely. Label

25:53

me as a dilatant. III

25:55

confess that I'm I'm a

25:57

I'm a jack of mini trays, but a master of few.

25:59

Although I did after

26:02

the war,

26:02

I've done a great deal of traveling. III

26:06

myself have been to the distant continent

26:08

you referred to, as well as

26:10

several others. Was that

26:13

so well I can See,

26:15

just from this conversation why mister

26:17

Gray took an interest in Neil, he

26:19

kinda looks over at him who's

26:21

already, like, talking

26:23

to another group of people. Mhmm.

26:25

But and I do not wish to her

26:27

to disturb you, upset you

26:29

all needlessly dredge up. anything from

26:31

the past that may cause

26:34

you any sort of displeasure. Yes.

26:36

I put a personal friend

26:39

of mine. is lately met

26:40

with a fate not unlike your

26:45

unfortunate

26:48

late brothers. Is

26:51

that so I am sorry

26:53

to hear that. What what

26:55

happened? May I ask,

26:57

I will

26:59

attempt to be as tactful

27:01

as possible. In point of

27:03

fact, miss Carlisle, not to disturb

27:05

your delicate sensibilities. My

27:08

close friend was brutally

27:11

murdered. And

27:16

under circumstances and

27:20

by individuals,

27:21

not unlike

27:24

those responsible for

27:26

the murder of your brother. Mister

27:29

Villas, that

27:32

is a tragic thing

27:34

that happened to your friend. but

27:37

linking it to what

27:39

may or may not have happened to my brother.

27:41

You have to understand I'm

27:44

quite skeptical right off the

27:46

bat. That seems

27:48

like quite a leap. And frankly,

27:50

had I known that this is what the discussion

27:52

was going to be centered around

27:54

not only what I've not taken the meeting, but I would

27:56

have ended this conversation much

27:59

earlier. So Perhaps you'd

28:01

like to backtrack. Or

28:03

are we done here?

28:09

Miss Carla,

28:09

but a moment ago, we

28:12

were saying, are

28:14

people of our class are burdened with particular

28:17

responsibilities? Yes. I

28:19

believe that we

28:20

have a responsibility to seek

28:23

justice where we

28:25

see it. undone and

28:28

two to hopefully

28:30

get

28:30

to the heart of truth.

28:33

But

28:34

They just as

28:35

undone and others oppressed and

28:39

their misfortunes exacerbated. I

28:44

believe that you and I share

28:47

common enemies, those

28:49

who have done us harm and those who wish

28:51

to do harm to those even more vulnerable

28:53

than ourselves who are not protected by

28:56

the privileges

28:59

that you and I

29:01

have been

29:01

so blessed to share. I

29:04

would very much

29:05

like to speak to you

29:07

about This

29:08

in greater detail, I

29:10

understand that a search location such as this is

29:12

maybe not the best venue for a

29:14

part lay of this sort, but

29:16

I know that

29:19

I'm speaking to someone who takes these matters

29:22

seriously. And if you take them

29:24

as seriously as I do, and I

29:26

can only hope that we

29:28

can have a serious conversation on these

29:30

matters.

29:30

Post posthastity.

29:33

You have to understand it

29:35

gets certain where I tired of

29:38

talking about my brother, and that

29:40

point passed long ago. So

29:42

everyone wants to know about Archer. Spend that way since I

29:45

was born. Truth be told, I

29:47

detested my brother's whole

29:49

way of life. doesn't sound like

29:51

you shared that experience with your

29:54

now deceased friend. Roger

29:56

and I were born into a great family.

29:58

Look

29:58

around you. As you

29:59

can see, yet he preferred

30:02

to waste it away in excess.

30:04

I suppose I blame our father.

30:07

He ignored and neglected us both, but

30:09

where I found ways to flourish with what little

30:11

I had, Roger, acted

30:13

out. I'll be honest with you, mister

30:15

Villegas, with the life he led, I

30:17

believe, he's better off dead.

30:19

I doubt you share the same opinion about your

30:22

friend. Of course, even in the

30:24

circumstances surrounding Rogers'

30:26

death were too bizarre to

30:28

be decent.

30:29

I'm not sure how

30:31

much you know about us, but when

30:33

our parents passed in an

30:35

automobile crash, Roger took

30:37

over the family business. after

30:39

receiving they call a a

30:42

gentleman's resignation from Harvard

30:44

Yale Princeton, Miskatara

30:46

Cornell and USC We

30:49

all assumed he would just fail

30:51

at running the family business as well,

30:53

run it straight into the ground, but

30:55

he shocked us. when he proved quite

30:57

capable at first. Of course, didn't take

30:59

long before his old habits kicked in

31:01

in his debauteries with the talk of

31:03

every paper in town.

31:08

I

31:11

gained more champagne. I'm

31:14

not

31:14

here too. Again,

31:19

call to mind the

31:21

particular peculiarities of

31:23

your brother? III

31:26

He may

31:28

be in a

31:30

better place.

31:33

Perhaps. Life one

31:36

believed that the line

31:38

between this world and

31:40

the next Is

31:42

gossip a thin?

31:44

oh

31:47

If

31:48

that is the case, what would you say to me if I were

31:50

to tell you that my

31:54

friend who? has

31:56

perished under these most atrocious

31:58

circumstances in the last days.

32:00

Had information

32:03

pertaining to your brother,

32:05

and to his expedition at

32:08

large. Yeah. The

32:10

expedition. Yes.

32:12

I've heard about that at Nausium,

32:15

mister Villas. And can you tell

32:17

me that I dare say III believe that

32:19

Oh, yes. I went out to make sure that everything

32:21

was as they said it was and it

32:23

appeared to be so. That

32:25

whole thing has plagued me from the

32:27

minute he left I knew from the beginning there

32:29

next, Expedition was much more than one of

32:32

Rogers foolish winds. I

32:35

believe that

32:36

some secret, fascinated, and

32:39

worried, Roger. If you

32:42

ask me and she whispers under her breath,

32:44

she's like, I think

32:46

it was that nigra woman, Buneet,

32:49

that

32:49

caused Russia's obsession

32:52

with going to

32:54

Africa. You can

32:57

see

32:59

Vaughn frees

33:02

somewhat.

33:03

I see.

33:07

And you have a psychology? You have any

33:10

points in psychology? I do. Yeah.

33:12

Give me a psychology role. I

33:20

I'll I'll

33:21

ask, I I don't make it.

33:23

You don't make it. Okay. So you

33:25

just kinda hear that. You let

33:28

that racism kinda wash into

33:30

your brain. And we're like, okay. Interesting.

33:32

She clearly, we know where she

33:34

stands. Mhmm.

33:36

i'm

33:41

So I'm like pivoting here and like

33:43

how to

33:46

I understand that you find this situation

33:49

most unfortunate.

33:51

I

33:53

still believe that my friend

33:56

was

33:56

perhaps a

33:59

victim.

34:00

of similar

34:02

measures. And

34:05

my friend was of the opinion that

34:07

not everybody perished on

34:10

that expedition. particular, mister Jack Brady was

34:11

seen alive afterwards.

34:14

Jack Brady. Jack Brady

34:16

was always very loyal to Roger.

34:20

It was someone that Roger could always trust. Do you

34:22

know that it was in California that

34:25

Carlisle's Roger's lawyers saved

34:28

Brady from certain conviction for murder. This

34:30

occurred while Roger was spending a semester

34:32

at USC. He's already thrown

34:34

out of every other college.

34:38

braiding. And you

34:40

say he's alive.

34:42

I say he was

34:45

been seen. Yes. Okay. That's not the information

34:47

that I have, mister Villas.

34:50

So I mean, perhaps you've been told some

34:51

cruel joke.

34:54

Perhaps, all

34:56

the subjective information that you have. I

35:00

was wondering if such information

35:03

that you have. might be

35:05

shared with interested parties who would by no

35:08

means seek to

35:12

spread, or Use this information to malign your brother

35:14

or your family and act with

35:16

utmost discretion.

35:19

but only seek to use the information that you yourself

35:22

possess to enlarge

35:24

our own theories on this

35:28

outstanding murder, the perpetrators

35:30

of which are still at large.

35:33

I fall upon the goodwill

35:35

that you possess that you extend

35:37

with such beautiful

35:40

larges to the orphans of Brooklyn.

35:42

You might also extend

35:44

to me and my compatriots. May

35:47

I

35:47

see your brother's

35:50

papers,

35:50

your brother's papers his books?

35:52

books his notes

35:55

that I might come to

35:57

a deeper understanding of the

35:59

placards that murdered him and

36:02

my friend friend,

36:04

and she

36:04

just narrows her eyes

36:08

at you. and we

36:10

cut over to Carter

36:13

and Margo. Margo,

36:15

you just saw

36:18

this

36:18

gentleman across the room staring

36:20

at you, you make eye contact

36:22

and he looks away and you're

36:24

certain. It was the guy that was standing across the street while you're at the

36:27

deli with Carter again talking

36:29

to lieutenant pool. What

36:32

do you guys

36:33

do? Oh, I

36:35

think last episode when I saw

36:37

him, I was

36:39

like, blinded by that and was

36:42

like culture, like, just a man

36:44

that I saw outside of the sandwich

36:46

shop that you did not see, that

36:48

was watching us and grab him and start going in that direction, just like

36:50

muttering, like, to to always watching

36:54

I noticed

36:54

always watching there. The shower. There is the Sanfisher out

36:56

of here. Wait. Wait. Hold hold on.

36:58

Let's say, Vaughan's talking to the Varga. Vaughan's

37:01

talking to to the Carlisle chick. Okay.

37:04

I need to

37:06

resolve this. This person is real

37:08

and he's here and they're

37:10

watching us with we'll

37:12

then

37:12

forget anything if if they're watching us and

37:13

they and they and they

37:16

know she's

37:16

not making sense. Alright.

37:18

Try try to kinda, like, crane his neck

37:20

because she's kinda, like, pulling him a bit and, like,

37:22

seeing Vaughan, chatting up Erica,

37:24

and he's, like, turns back to her. He's,

37:26

like, Okay. Alright.

37:27

Alright. What do you wanna

37:29

do?

37:29

Is the guy,

37:32

like,

37:32

moving away from me at all? Or is he

37:34

standing so. He's turned away from you and he's standing at

37:36

the window and he appears to be

37:40

alone. Which which guy are you

37:42

talking about? So then with with the hats he's got a hat

37:44

on? Yes. He has a hat. And do I see

37:46

him Troy? You do. Yep.

37:48

She points and you see the guy just kinda like

37:50

a little

37:52

bit side profile. He's wearing his hat guys.

37:54

Yeah. He's wearing a hat inside

37:58

bullshit.

37:58

Let's go talk

37:59

to him. So, yeah,

38:02

she she goes up to him, taps

38:04

him

38:04

on the

38:06

shoulder. And the man

38:06

turns It turns, like, off of his

38:09

chest out. She's trying to look like

38:11

bigger. Man turns to look

38:13

at you and he takes off his

38:15

hat and he's got short

38:18

cropped brown hair. He's

38:20

handsome, but he has like a small scar

38:22

under his left eye. Yeah. And

38:24

he just looks at you quizzically.

38:30

Hello?

38:30

Hello? She's

38:32

just realizing she didn't

38:33

know what she wanted to say. She

38:35

just assumed he would

38:37

run away. And he

38:40

says,

38:41

hello? We we have never

38:43

met

38:43

before, but

38:46

we've I think

38:47

we've crossed paths.

38:50

Do

38:50

you recognize us at all? I

38:52

I feel like I recognize

38:55

you. No. I'm I'm

38:57

sorry you must be thinking

38:59

of someone else. Oh, you

39:02

probably just caught me

39:04

staring at you. It's rather

39:06

embarrassing. III

39:09

was just rather

39:11

captivated by your

39:14

beauty and your fashion forward

39:16

style. I

39:18

I do apologize. I didn't

39:21

mean any offense. by looking in your

39:23

direction, but I I don't think I've ever had the

39:26

pleasure of meeting you. Is he

39:28

like

39:28

he right

39:29

Hugh? I just been looking guys rugged ruggedly

39:31

handsome when that little star kinda gives him

39:33

that bad boy look. You've got

39:36

a I've

39:38

got a Yeah. You think that's a scar

39:40

pal? Oh, god. Hey.

39:43

Troy. With that whole life

39:45

of your beauty

39:46

is

39:48

whatever. Can Carter do, like, can Carter do, like, a

39:50

is he, like, sniff? Like, he kinda wants a synergy, right?

39:52

Yeah. He wants to do a sniffy con man.

39:56

Like, is this guy putting on a he wants to put on his Condar. His

39:58

Condar? Yeah. Give me I also like

40:00

to roll psychology if I can. Both

40:02

think of me as psychology roll.

40:08

k. Damn it. You

40:09

know what?

40:10

What what did you get?

40:12

Fuck.

40:12

seventy four over fifty.

40:14

Alright. I got

40:15

a sixty four over fifty,

40:18

but

40:18

I'm gonna spend fourteen left to make it

40:21

why a success.

40:23

Sure.

40:24

So you

40:26

don't

40:26

ever

40:27

remember talking to this

40:30

man before. but you

40:31

are certain now that

40:32

you see him that it was the man

40:34

staring at you across the street. So

40:40

either he's quite good

40:42

at lying or something

40:44

else is going on here. quite

40:46

good at

40:47

lying or something else is going

40:49

on here. So

40:52

I feel like I

40:53

wanna mention, like, I

40:55

still am certain that I

40:58

saw you just yesterday.

41:01

Wherever you yesterday? Where

41:04

was the highest? Like

41:06

a very lunchtime. Where where did you have lunch? I

41:08

I wasn't even in New York. I

41:10

I'm I'm so sorry. You must have mistaken me for someone

41:13

else. I actually just arrived in New York a a few

41:15

hours ago to attend this

41:18

benefit. Okay. I'm

41:20

sorry, do I detect a German

41:22

accent? You know what? We don't know him. He

41:24

doesn't know us. Let's get we don't need to

41:26

skip this. Let's get let's get

41:28

out of here. We don't do that.

41:30

Not from here either. Oh, how lovely.

41:32

Well, III speak a little

41:34

German. I never get a chance to to

41:37

use it? your friend speak German as

41:40

well? No.

41:40

I don't. That's a personal choice. And

41:44

so he he

41:46

just starts speaking in German and he's smiling the

41:48

whole time. But very

41:50

quickly, you realize that his jovial

41:52

tone does not match

41:54

the words that he says to you

41:56

because he says you in Germany. He

41:58

says

41:59

the order is watching

42:02

you right now as

42:04

we speak. You've done very well thus

42:06

far, and it seems like he's searching

42:08

for the words in German to make

42:10

it look like he's struggling his way. One

42:14

must

42:14

always have a

42:17

healthy thirst for

42:20

knowledge even while attending

42:23

charity galas. And he

42:25

just kinda looks past

42:28

you. all the way to the other side of the room and if you follow his

42:30

eyes, you see a waiter

42:32

coming out of a library.

42:36

and he has a a plateful of

42:39

champagne flutes. In

42:41

this library in the southwest

42:43

corner of the room, and guests

42:45

are filing in and out. He's

42:48

like, I'm sorry, my

42:50

my accent probably isn't to

42:53

as as as good as yours, as a

42:56

native speaker. Anyhow, I

42:58

do apologize.

42:58

I I didn't mean to stare and

43:00

I hope you find the person

43:02

you were looking for, but

43:04

it

43:05

wasn't me. Enjoy the

43:07

party. Blah blah

43:09

blah. I don't know sit

43:11

here, we'll do all these sweet nothing's. What's

43:13

the

43:15

come on.

43:17

He

43:18

just he It

43:20

IIII was wrong.

43:22

It's I don't

43:24

I don't know.

43:25

I just spent a

43:28

a mess these few days, I'm

43:30

assuming he's

43:30

walked away. Mhmm.

43:31

I don't know. I'm second guessing

43:33

every sync, but I'm

43:35

a hundred

43:36

percent certain. I know what he was saying.

43:38

It's the same thing in every language. He's telling you

43:41

how beautiful you look tonight. and

43:43

how cool and cutting edge this trash bag dress is

43:45

or whatever you're wearing right now. I can't

43:47

do that. A con man smells

43:49

a con man. He

43:50

wanted to take me off into another room, and I said no. But when I

43:53

looked over there, I saw a room that's

43:55

maybe we should, maybe, checkouts.

43:58

and maybe looks like a

43:59

library. She points over to it,

44:02

so

44:02

you can see it. So maybe maybe

44:03

we should go in there,

44:05

maybe the safest in in

44:07

there. We we need continue

44:09

with our thirst for knowledge and

44:11

not be blinded by this

44:13

party and anything

44:16

else.

44:17

I'm a hundred

44:19

percent focused. Let's do it.

44:21

Library, it is. Until you go in

44:23

the

44:23

direction of the library and Margaret,

44:25

if you turn to look in the direction of that

44:27

gentleman, you saw him a second ago walking

44:29

through a group of people and now you

44:31

look and he's not in

44:34

sight anywhere. And from there, we

44:36

cut two favorites just

44:38

walking walking

44:40

b line, I'm assuming. to

44:42

your father who is just

44:44

like whispering

44:45

to a woman

44:47

that's probably thirty years

44:49

younger than him. and

44:52

she's just, oh, naughty.

44:56

Hello, father.

44:58

And from, if

44:59

you've recalled, Ferris

45:02

calls her father, Baba. So if anybody,

45:04

it's like the equivalent of your mother

45:06

calling you by your full name first

45:09

middle last, and you

45:11

know You know you're in fucking trouble right

45:14

now. Hello, father.

45:16

And

45:17

I imagine he you're talking to him maybe from

45:19

behind to the side and you see his whole body stiffened when

45:21

he hears your voice and hears

45:24

you speak

45:26

in that way and he

45:30

turns and looks at you and looks

45:32

at the

45:34

girl and the girl's

45:36

like, Nadie, who is this?

45:38

And he says, no one, my

45:40

dear. It's Oh,

45:42

my dear. You really shouldn't be

45:44

seen out of the function like this

45:46

with a stain on

45:48

your gown. You're really ought to go to the powder

45:50

room and fix that up. No.

45:52

And drugs. she

45:54

will pour her drink

45:56

on her dress. Oh, oh, that

45:58

is an unnecessary. What a what a

46:01

what an unfortunate And she's like, oh, and she's like, oh, this is I'm

46:03

I'm so sorry. This is crazy. This is

46:06

crazy. An old an old student of

46:08

mine pointing

46:10

at you. please, here. Get can you go get

46:12

some clubs sold out. I will I will find

46:14

you in just a moment. I'm so sorry. And

46:16

she's like, oh

46:18

my gosh. my dad's, and she goes off to the bathroom and he on

46:20

you, like, smiling, like, hey, Ruth, what are

46:22

you doing here? What are you doing

46:26

here? What I do is none of your

46:28

concern. Oh, but here's the thing, father,

46:29

is that I have been keeping you in the loop

46:31

of everything that I've been doing, including

46:34

being my my time in New

46:36

York and you've

46:37

specifically been given information

46:38

about the case that I am working on

46:41

and just happened to be in the house

46:43

a function of the woman that is in

46:45

involved in this investigation that I'm conducting you. You

46:47

don't even tell me. You don't have the decency

46:49

to tell

46:50

me that

46:51

you're here. So tell me exactly what it is that you're doing here because

46:54

I find it very hard to believe that it's

46:56

here on your true because of

46:58

charitable

46:58

nature.

47:00

he grabs you by the arm a little force forcefully, like, maybe you would do that when

47:02

you're a little girl and pose you to the window and

47:04

says, we can keep your voice down.

47:08

And his tone changes.

47:10

Now that When

47:13

last we

47:16

spoke, Perhaps

47:17

I did not make it

47:20

clear, you

47:20

were to leave New York

47:22

and return to your studies. the

47:24

fact that you are here right now, speaking in

47:26

such a manner in earshot of

47:29

all these people, is greatly

47:32

disturbing. Where did you get the money for this

47:34

party? Oh,

47:38

father. Is

47:40

that

47:40

what you think of me? I

47:42

wouldn't even be in the

47:44

presence of of

47:46

people are

47:48

on on on your level of

47:51

society.

47:51

I know where your money comes from.

47:53

It comes from me. and I

47:55

did not send money for you to buy tickets to this event. What are

47:57

you doing for money? I

47:59

was invited.

48:03

just like

48:05

you were. By a gentleman,

48:07

what does he do for

48:10

work? Well, now

48:12

that is none of your business as

48:13

you love to

48:16

say. Why don't

48:17

you tell me?

48:18

what

48:19

it is that you're doing here because as

48:21

far as I know, I've never seen

48:24

you

48:24

take an interest in orphans

48:28

of Brooklyn. my reason

48:30

for being here, not unlike

48:32

you, has nothing to

48:34

do with charity. Then

48:36

what is it for?

48:38

Do you know? do you

48:39

know the links

48:42

that I had to go to to

48:44

get you initiated into

48:47

the society? and this is how you repay me

48:49

by talking to me like

48:52

I am some common

48:54

street jotting So

48:56

are you telling

48:57

me that this

48:58

is a

49:00

society function? There

49:02

were just

49:03

not a society function. there

49:05

are other members of the society

49:08

here. And they will see you here

49:10

why it's none of your business.

49:12

You are in over

49:14

your head pharaohs, and the fact that we are being seen

49:16

together puts us both in greater

49:18

danger. You can jeopardize their

49:20

lifetime. We do not be

49:22

seen together. but

49:25

everyone knows our connection, it's

49:27

best to keep things quiet.

49:31

and then he leans in and you see a look in

49:33

his eyes that maybe you've seen before but

49:36

not for a long time and it's

49:38

like, why died? And

49:40

he says, A great

49:44

darkness is coming my

49:46

child. We have all sensed it and no

49:48

doubt you have sensed it too. Existence

49:52

as we know it is

49:54

on a ticking clock. Well,

49:56

see, that is fascinating

49:58

and I'm

49:59

actually very humored by

50:02

your earlier

50:04

proclamation

50:06

of none of this is my business

50:08

because this is exactly my business

50:10

and you know exactly

50:12

why. So

50:14

either you really

50:16

tell me what is going on

50:19

and your involvement in it.

50:20

or your name

50:22

might be in the papers, unfortunately, along

50:25

with

50:25

everybody else that we're going

50:27

to expose. It

50:30

was

50:30

a time When I

50:32

saw something in you, and that

50:35

is why you were brought to

50:37

know things that most people

50:39

would kill to know. But

50:41

now I look at you and I listen to your

50:43

tone and I see something else

50:45

in your eyes. I

50:48

see a

50:48

darkness. A darkness I have

50:51

not seen syndrome. Since

50:53

mother, go ahead. I

50:55

have made a

50:57

mistake.

50:58

Many mistakes, please.

51:00

And he grabs you both with

51:02

both arms, go home, Pharaohs. I

51:05

Oh, boy. It's too late. I shall

51:07

do no such thing

51:10

further. Yeah.

51:12

and a couple people look

51:14

when he raises his voice.

51:16

Anyways, it was lovely meeting

51:20

you. and I must go attend to my friend

51:22

and to address. I'm sorry.

51:24

Oh. Yes. I'm sure you're

51:26

attending to address quite

51:28

frequently.

51:30

Yes.

51:30

Will. I hope to

51:33

see you again my

51:35

child. tell. Because no

51:37

matter what you

51:37

say about

51:40

all the favors you've done

51:42

of conducting me, conducting me

51:45

into this order.

51:48

You and I

51:48

both know that you need

51:49

me.

51:53

Enjoy your

51:54

evening. Perhaps

51:56

you are right. Enjoy

51:59

yours as well.

52:00

And he turns and he sees the

52:02

girl come out of the bathroom. Oh, you address?

52:05

Let me take enough. You

52:10

can't. CAD.

52:14

And from there

52:16

we cut back

52:18

to Vaughan and Erica Carlisle.

52:22

Mhmm. You just asked her pretty

52:24

boldly. When she wake up me

52:26

his notes. clock is ticking, baby.

52:29

And

52:31

she

52:32

and see just

52:34

shakes her

52:36

head and she's like, hi. I'm

52:39

sure you understand

52:42

that rehashing

52:44

these things is difficult for me.

52:46

Indeed, I I know how difficult

52:48

it is to

52:51

ruminate. on

52:55

past tragedies. The mind works in mysterious ways

52:57

and sometimes they come

53:00

rushing back. uninvited.

53:02

I certainly do not

53:06

wish to

53:07

fake loose. motions

53:11

that have been kept

53:12

at bay for a great deal of

53:13

time. It is

53:16

only because

53:18

Tragedies precede a pace.

53:20

My feel is though

53:22

our two tragedies are connected.

53:26

that I that I press on you in this way. And she's

53:28

like holding back emotion a little bit, but

53:30

you can also see if she's maybe

53:33

had a

53:34

little she's had a little too much to drink. She's not like super but

53:36

she's that's making her a little more emotional.

53:38

I mean, I feel like I've may

53:42

I roll something to see if this persuasion

53:44

or or Yeah. I

53:46

was just gonna call for something

53:50

it's not quite fast talk. So I would let you do fast talk if you wanted

53:52

to, but this seems more like a persuade. Yeah. Or

53:54

a persuade or a charm. Mhmm.

53:59

Yeah. How a guy could

53:59

get very

54:02

charming. Yvonne, not

54:03

you, Ross. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

54:05

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Try it

54:07

whichever one you want. I'm gonna go

54:09

check. I'm gonna tactics. I'm gonna go

54:11

charm. Mhmm. Since that seems to be

54:13

what I'm

54:14

leaning on here. Okay. Let's go

54:17

look. Yes, sir. Alright.

54:22

That is I'm

54:23

gonna spend five points of luck to

54:25

make that a hard success. Okay.

54:30

Okay. Sometimes the the role play

54:32

is so good. I don't even need roles, but a

54:34

hard success

54:36

on charm But let's say, okay. So if that's if that is a

54:38

success, then

54:44

We both

54:44

have dealt with tragedies with our own kind. I

54:47

I do not

54:49

believe in accidents. Miss

54:52

Carlyle, there was a time when I believe I was as cynical as

54:55

you proclaim yourself to be.

55:00

But I have seen and learned things since

55:02

know that there is providence

55:04

at work in the world. Yes.

55:06

But And providence

55:08

has brought us together. I'd like to believe

55:10

that my by tragedy

55:12

started long before

55:14

Roger passed You know,

55:16

when he was

55:17

alive, he nearly ruined the entire

55:19

all of Carlyle's interest,

55:22

transport, munitions importexport, you name it. He draining them of

55:24

all operating capital with his

55:26

playboy lifestyle, and I,

55:29

his own sister, was an

55:32

afterthought to him. It took

55:34

his death for me to finally have a say in

55:36

anything. Before that, he

55:38

nearly left me impoverished I was not even

55:40

to to touch the Carlyle money. This is

55:42

how he ran things and that it

55:44

says nothing of what he did to the

55:46

Carlyle name. Luckily, as you

55:48

can see, I've I've found a way to rise

55:50

above and restore the Carlyle

55:52

name. It is a benefit. It is

55:54

a testament to your strength

55:56

of character.

55:57

you know,

55:59

your

56:01

financial acumen

56:04

and your many charms that you

56:07

have Recuperated the Carlyle

56:09

name from the distinction which was left

56:11

by Oprana. Yes. Our holdings

56:14

are flourishing. and I'll tell you this. The stockholders

56:16

are not the only ones that are

56:18

glad that Roger is gone.

56:22

Nichanka Bune

56:24

was her name.

56:26

I have no idea how Roger came

56:28

to meet her, but even before

56:31

this boone came to

56:34

rule Roger's life. He

56:36

began to have strange dreams.

56:40

which something seemed to back into him and and

56:42

call out to him that something must be

56:44

done. Takes a big sweet champagne.

56:49

And as she swigs the line Carlisle's

56:51

dreams from Elias's letter.

56:53

It's just like

56:56

type written -- Okay. -- and -- Okay. --

56:59

you know, like -- Yeah.

57:01

-- mind, like usual sweat aspect style.

57:03

You see -- Mhmm. --

57:06

car lots streams. Barbershop quartet

57:08

at Skokie, Illinois. Roger

57:12

Woods. wake up screaming,

57:14

but absolutely refuse to just

57:16

discuss his dreams beyond that with

57:18

me at least. In an attempt, I'll I'll

57:20

tell you this my my love still

57:22

existed for him no matter how he

57:24

treated me. And so I attempted to help

57:27

my brother. I recommended that

57:29

Roger visit a a man by the name

57:31

of doctor Robert Houston. He was a bit of

57:33

a a lion amongst my

57:36

social set. He spent time

57:38

in Vienna studying under both Freud and Young, so needless to say when he returns

57:40

state side, he was quite

57:44

popular. I

57:46

actually had met with him a few times myself, and I

57:48

thought maybe he could help Roger with

57:50

his dreams. Well, I don't know what

57:53

went on. behind closed doors between those two, but now

57:55

that I now that I think about it, I

57:57

believe that Houston was the one that

57:59

convinced Roger into this

58:02

expedition undoubtedly with bunet's collusion.

58:04

It is the one thing I feel guilty about

58:06

mister Ilias introducing the

58:09

two of them. but I'm still

58:12

convinced it was Arbune's

58:14

fault that Roger ultimately lost

58:16

his grip on all reality.

58:18

He began disappearing for days only to turn up

58:20

wild eyed and crazed, saying

58:22

only that he had been spending time

58:24

in Harlem. Really?

58:28

Yes. Houston supposedly went

58:30

abroad on this expedition with Broadridge in

58:32

order to continue his treatment.

58:35

and now look where they both are

58:37

gone or perhaps still alive,

58:39

as you say,

58:42

mister Villas, No. Let's

58:43

call you mister Vineyards. That's not your

58:45

name. Yeah. Alright. It's like I'm

58:47

back in boys. school.

58:50

Here comes for nine years again. That's what they'd say, I

58:54

bet.

58:57

yeah Yes. This some no. And this

58:59

is a raw sentiment. This this bony

59:02

character who she's laying all this

59:04

blame on

59:06

Does that

59:06

name appear in those notes? because it that's that doesn't sound

59:08

familiar to me. That's a new name, Gio.

59:10

Yeah. You haven't heard of

59:14

Anacheanca Bune.

59:16

Mm-mm. This

59:17

banet

59:19

where did she

59:22

land after all was

59:24

said and done. To be

59:25

honest, I don't know and I

59:27

don't care. She seduced his

59:30

very soul mister Villas,

59:32

he would say that she was queenly,

59:34

a priestess, and that

59:36

she held secrets, which he

59:40

must have. When he said he wanted to go to Africa, for a while, I

59:42

encouraged the expedition assuming that

59:44

eventually Roger would come to

59:46

his senses and see that

59:48

Bunae in her tails were nothing but

59:50

mumbo jumbo.

59:55

Yes. There are

59:57

strange forces at work in the

1:00:00

world.

1:00:01

We've been

1:00:03

very forthcoming indeed

1:00:05

I don't

1:00:06

suppose that I'm

1:00:12

I still don't know who

1:00:14

I don't suppose that it would be possible to look over or brother's effects

1:00:16

if only to grasp

1:00:20

more clearly. and get our hands

1:00:22

around. Who did this?

1:00:26

There is

1:00:29

It is baneful business in Harlem

1:00:32

once

1:00:34

again. And

1:00:34

if we might try, have

1:00:37

access to them, whatever

1:00:40

books were in, your

1:00:42

brother's safe.

1:00:44

Perhaps we might be able to

1:00:46

draw

1:00:47

a clearer I will think

1:00:50

about

1:00:50

this while we take

1:00:52

a word from our sponsors.

1:00:56

Thank you

1:00:57

know Amazon. Think again. Did you know

1:01:00

you can get a seasonal warehouse job

1:01:02

offer today? You don't even need

1:01:04

to interview. That means you can make extra cash before the

1:01:06

holidays. You can even pick your own

1:01:08

payday and seasonal jobs can lead to full

1:01:10

time regular

1:01:12

employment. You'll be amazed by

1:01:14

what you can get as an Amazon Warehouse

1:01:16

Associate. To learn more about all the

1:01:18

benefits of working a seasonal job at

1:01:20

Amazon, go to amazon dot com slash

1:01:23

hourly. Amazon is proud to be an equal opportunity

1:01:26

employer.

1:01:29

So this

1:01:30

conversation between

1:01:32

Vaughan and Erika is actually

1:01:34

moving forward in ways that

1:01:37

you probably weren't expecting she's being quite

1:01:39

forthcoming with you. So something perhaps in

1:01:41

what you said has

1:01:44

convinced her for

1:01:46

that enchilada of his

1:01:48

notes, his books, or whatever.

1:01:52

What's Feirou's doing

1:01:54

now that her father

1:01:56

has rebuffed her?

1:01:59

Well, ferrous being

1:02:02

given knowledge that there are eyes

1:02:04

on them tonight, wants

1:02:06

to do a little study

1:02:08

of the room, but she does want to

1:02:10

make her way back to

1:02:14

find

1:02:14

either one

1:02:17

or Margar

1:02:19

Margarco. Margarco

1:02:21

and Carter That's pretty

1:02:23

good. together. Yes. Sorry. Cargo.

1:02:26

Cargo in my car. Cargo. It's a

1:02:29

cargo ship. Yes.

1:02:32

Cargo shift. Cargo shift.

1:02:34

You demand the art. You demand the art.

1:02:38

Cargo shift. whoever

1:02:40

I run into first, but I do want to do, like,

1:02:43

a quick

1:02:45

cancer valence scan

1:02:49

little spot hidden. Yeah.

1:02:50

Give me a little spot hidden. Let's throw

1:02:53

some dice

1:02:55

rolling.

1:02:56

I rolled

1:03:00

a twenty under eighty.

1:03:04

That is a that is a hard success.

1:03:07

So you look

1:03:10

around the room and now that you're you've

1:03:12

got your father's

1:03:14

voice in your head, you just

1:03:16

get this feeling like everyone is watching you.

1:03:18

There was also a bit of a blow

1:03:21

up there that was weird, that spilled drink. A lot

1:03:23

just happened, but now it appears everywhere

1:03:25

you look, you're making eye cam type with someone

1:03:27

who looks away and you look at

1:03:29

someone else like, Is everyone here from

1:03:31

the society? Where have you

1:03:34

really talked about this?

1:03:34

I've not even We have not.

1:03:36

You know right now that

1:03:39

chat's, like, what? Yeah.

1:03:42

Work. Which is like

1:03:42

Like like like like like like like like like like like this.

1:03:44

This all I mean, this came out in

1:03:48

character that there was -- -- saw light

1:03:50

until recently and now, the

1:03:52

words are starting to be said,

1:03:55

the order, the society.

1:03:57

how are

1:04:00

these

1:04:00

things connected if at all. So you

1:04:02

look around and you do feel like everyone

1:04:04

is watching you, but You're

1:04:07

smart. You know how to, like, cool your emotions and be

1:04:09

like, okay. You know you're

1:04:11

being watched. It's hard to

1:04:13

tell by who. you do

1:04:16

see Vaughan and Erica, like

1:04:18

engaged in a very emotional

1:04:20

conversation that appears.

1:04:22

And

1:04:22

you see Margo and Carter

1:04:25

weaving their way

1:04:27

towards, like, the

1:04:29

southwest corner of the

1:04:32

mansion

1:04:33

with all haste.

1:04:34

but nothing

1:04:35

else jumps out to

1:04:38

you. I don't

1:04:38

wanna blow up their spot

1:04:41

if they're trying to inconspicuously go to

1:04:43

the part of a house by, like,

1:04:45

running over there to them.

1:04:46

i'm

1:04:54

I I kinda wanna hover

1:04:56

around

1:04:56

where Vaughn

1:04:58

and Erica Carlisle in

1:05:01

that area. Mhmm.

1:05:03

Just I wanna

1:05:04

kind of see if I could over

1:05:06

here get a vibe for how

1:05:08

the conversation is going

1:05:11

without being conspicuous. Okay?

1:05:15

Alright. So you start

1:05:17

hovering over there and you hear the

1:05:19

end of the conversation. that

1:05:21

Vaughan and I just had and

1:05:24

you're able to hear all of it.

1:05:26

You know, this

1:05:29

boone seduced

1:05:30

Africa, Robert

1:05:34

Houston. She's the one that suggested you

1:05:36

start, like, you're trying to catch up a little bit, but you don't

1:05:38

really have all the informations you're just taking

1:05:40

it in, but it seems like she's being

1:05:42

pretty forthcoming with him. And

1:05:44

and and she continues and now you hear

1:05:46

this and she's like,

1:05:49

what is it that you actually

1:05:52

want

1:05:52

to see mister Villas.

1:05:55

I wish

1:05:56

to see

1:05:57

your brother's books.

1:06:00

badder.

1:06:02

The description

1:06:04

of what it was that

1:06:06

was it was the drove him

1:06:08

drove him turned

1:06:09

to take the treacherous expedition across

1:06:11

the sea into

1:06:14

Africa. I

1:06:16

have

1:06:17

a feeling that what

1:06:19

he encountered there,

1:06:22

the forces that conspired against him

1:06:25

slew him and his compatriots and that

1:06:27

perhaps and

1:06:29

you

1:06:32

must follow me here,

1:06:34

miss Carla. forces that brought them

1:06:36

back. Maybe the ones

1:06:38

currently still at work

1:06:40

within the city of New York.

1:06:42

The murders are ongoing. Disappearances

1:06:45

are ongoing. There are

1:06:47

dark forces at work and walking abroad

1:06:49

on the streets of this

1:06:51

city by night. And at the

1:06:53

dark of the moon, they shall strike again to

1:06:55

do their dark work.

1:06:57

We need to be armed with all

1:06:59

the information that is relevant

1:07:01

to our cause. and I believe

1:07:03

that your brother was moving these same

1:07:06

waters. Any information that we

1:07:08

can find shall

1:07:10

prove useful to bringing these brackets to justice.

1:07:12

Toward the

1:07:14

end

1:07:14

of his time, here

1:07:16

at the estate, mister Billio's Roger

1:07:19

was constantly reading books.

1:07:22

Old books. I happened

1:07:24

to glance at one,

1:07:26

one time. He was unaware.

1:07:28

but what I

1:07:31

read mister

1:07:31

Villas frightened

1:07:33

me. things

1:07:36

there

1:07:36

that I'd rather not

1:07:38

think about, but they seemed to

1:07:42

substantiate Rogers crazy actions.

1:07:44

Hearing you talk, I

1:07:47

worry that books

1:07:49

such as these may send

1:07:51

you

1:07:51

quite over

1:07:53

the edge. They're

1:07:56

not alone in wanting them though. Shortly

1:07:58

after he passed, there was a

1:07:59

break in here at the estate.

1:08:02

And the only room that was turned upside down was the library

1:08:05

where the safest. We

1:08:08

kept those books. May I ask

1:08:11

a rather delicate question,

1:08:12

miss Carla? It

1:08:14

wouldn't be the first you've asked to see if things Yes.

1:08:18

I know I've probed quite over the

1:08:20

borders of delicacy already. And

1:08:22

so forgive me for launching

1:08:25

myself quite over the threshold. was

1:08:28

there a peculiar aroma left

1:08:30

in your library after this

1:08:32

act of breaking

1:08:34

and vandalism? Thankfully no,

1:08:36

at least not one that

1:08:38

I remember. It was more

1:08:41

of a an

1:08:44

inconvenient, quite I see

1:08:46

now that perhaps those books were important to this entire endeavor.

1:08:51

You know, the security

1:08:53

you see all around here is not here by accident.

1:08:55

Even though I

1:08:59

consider the matter closed least until before we

1:09:01

spoke tonight. There are

1:09:03

secrets here that

1:09:06

I know people want. but

1:09:08

something about what you are

1:09:10

saying makes me perhaps trust

1:09:15

you Well,

1:09:16

are you

1:09:17

a fan

1:09:19

of Edgar

1:09:22

Allen Pearl, mister Ilias?

1:09:24

I I

1:09:26

know. I'm

1:09:27

Baltimoreian. Yes?

1:09:32

Yes. as

1:09:34

you say, I confess some like

1:09:40

like many young boys I

1:09:42

had to taste for them a carb. Yes. I I've read

1:09:44

my co, I gave

1:09:47

in my Annabelle, I Gordon

1:09:50

PIM, etcetera. Can you ever read any of his letters that he would write?

1:09:55

I'm afraid my My

1:09:58

interest in code did not extend so

1:09:59

far as into his epistolary canon? No.

1:10:02

Well, he was just as poetic in

1:10:04

his letters as he was

1:10:06

in his most famed works, and there

1:10:08

was a quote I read that I always

1:10:10

think about when I think of Roger.

1:10:13

He was writing a a letter to a friend

1:10:15

of his about his wife's long

1:10:17

battle with illness that

1:10:20

led to her

1:10:21

death. And he said, Thinking about

1:10:24

this whole

1:10:24

experience that I

1:10:27

became insane with

1:10:29

long intervals of

1:10:32

horrible sanity.

1:10:33

I think of that often when I think of Roger. I

1:10:35

don't like to

1:10:41

think of my brother or avoid thinking of my brother not

1:10:43

only because of the way he treated me, but because of the

1:10:45

way his memory still

1:10:48

haunts me. If

1:10:50

there is a way this

1:10:52

sickness can be eradicated as

1:10:55

civilians, I would be most

1:10:57

grateful. Follow

1:10:59

hello me. And she'll be

1:11:01

your servant. She takes you

1:11:04

in the direction that

1:11:07

Margo and Carter are heading in favor of you.

1:11:09

I'm following. Watch this

1:11:11

all and Margo

1:11:15

and harder, give me a a

1:11:17

spot hidden here. No. That's

1:11:19

not it. To see if

1:11:21

you see this happening.

1:11:23

I got a forty eight under sixty two. I got

1:11:25

a twenty

1:11:26

two under twenty five. Alright.

1:11:29

So you're both walk walking over there and

1:11:31

you turn and you see that, like, you're

1:11:33

about to be intercepted by

1:11:35

Vaughan and Erica walking

1:11:37

in the direction of

1:11:40

the library. what do you do? Carter's been conversation. He's

1:11:42

like, I'm just saying, like, you know, like a scar on a face, like anybody

1:11:45

can have a scar on a face. So I just don't

1:11:48

know. Anyway, I don't know why I'm even

1:11:50

talking about that. Oh, shit. Oh, look. Look.

1:11:53

Look. Should

1:11:55

we should we top. He's

1:11:57

going

1:11:57

to the library where it looks like.

1:11:59

Oh, better come

1:12:02

yes. Lovely. Brooklyn orphans. Oh, the orphans.

1:12:04

They're so homeless.

1:12:07

Love helping.

1:12:08

I love

1:12:10

helping homeless. It

1:12:12

can't he's trying

1:12:14

to like. We watch them go by, but we're party goers. We don't think we should interrupt Yeah.

1:12:16

She smiles. Thank

1:12:19

you for coming. Of

1:12:22

course. No worries.

1:12:24

And they look at Vaughan. Like

1:12:26

Yes. We're given Vaughan. Like Right.

1:12:29

And and Vaughan will kind of turn.

1:12:31

And as he passes, like, I was

1:12:33

so kind to have all sorts of your

1:12:35

parties. Interesting sartorial

1:12:38

choices to

1:12:40

help. quite too tray.

1:12:42

Little wink as he passes by. What do you say you British fuck? She jabs you.

1:12:44

Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Don't

1:12:46

know that guy at all. one

1:12:51

one shouldn't judge a book

1:12:53

by their cover, mister Villas.

1:12:55

How true? Yes. Come

1:12:58

on. As I'm,

1:12:59

like, walking, slowly walking and behind, I try to catch Margo and

1:13:04

Carter's eye and as

1:13:06

we have given each other certain hand signals, and I don't wanna be too on the nose.

1:13:09

So I kind

1:13:12

of like theirs takes her

1:13:14

thumb and kind of, like, brushes the sat like, the, like, her bottom lip

1:13:16

as, like, I'm keeping

1:13:18

an eye out on

1:13:20

them. Fibrosis

1:13:22

has some

1:13:22

sort of mud on them. Fibrosis has some sort of crumbs on her face. No. She us to

1:13:24

just be keep an eye

1:13:26

out and let you know. do

1:13:31

you know that? Is party language kind

1:13:32

of She's fair. What is party language?

1:13:34

I

1:13:34

have to speak with you Americans

1:13:36

all the time. I don't understand scans of what

1:13:38

you're saying. I have to reach a body language and I just

1:13:41

sort of cracker on it. Like, off humans

1:13:43

do that. I'm just like, we

1:13:45

talked about this.

1:13:47

Oh, well, wait. What does this mean? What

1:13:49

are you saying? Focus. How much can

1:13:52

I

1:13:52

help? Can we not Are

1:13:53

there they're not, like, are there guards in

1:13:55

front of the library? it

1:13:58

just like party goes, we're kinda milling

1:13:59

them in there too. Funny you

1:14:02

should ask because as Erica walks

1:14:04

up to the library, Again,

1:14:06

there's people coming in and out, a, like, huge dude, feet tall

1:14:08

-- Mhmm. -- comes up and

1:14:10

you see he's got a pistol

1:14:15

on him, like, in a holster, in his jacket,

1:14:17

and he's, like, everything alright,

1:14:19

miss Carlisle, looking

1:14:22

at you failures. And she goes, Joseph, of course. Yes.

1:14:24

Everything's fine. Mister Villas, this

1:14:26

is my my man here.

1:14:30

Mister Joe Corrie, Joe, this is mister mister

1:14:32

Villas. He is a a

1:14:34

new acquaintance of mine. We

1:14:36

haven't decided yet if we're

1:14:39

going to be friends. he

1:14:41

is he's fine as far as I know. So don't don't worry about him. And he's

1:14:43

a lot do. Pleasure

1:14:48

mister Corey.

1:14:48

you must corey and

1:14:51

it keeps walking right this

1:14:53

way. She walks in.

1:14:55

She's like, I'm sorry, could

1:14:57

I have the library everyone?

1:14:59

Close the library. And a couple people are

1:15:02

like, oh, of course, miss Carla. Lovely part of you. The mansion looks beautiful. orfins.

1:15:05

And the

1:15:08

last thing Margo

1:15:09

Carter in favor of

1:15:11

sea is her standing at the doors and closing them

1:15:14

from the inside. Okay. Well,

1:15:18

let's hope this goes okay. He's definitely not

1:15:22

mentally fragile. So

1:15:24

fingers crossed on that

1:15:26

one.

1:15:26

I think that the safe is in the

1:15:28

library. Yes. We think

1:15:31

so too. Watch.

1:15:32

You have to be very

1:15:35

careful because there are I have

1:15:37

a hunch that

1:15:37

there are eyes on us. Yes, people are

1:15:39

always watching us.

1:15:40

people always searching us

1:15:42

not just, you know,

1:15:43

normal security though. You can

1:15:46

never be Haven't you

1:15:47

haven't you had

1:15:50

station that sneaking suspicion? Yes. Nope.

1:15:52

I

1:15:53

mean, I had to sit

1:15:55

in the shower yesterday. This

1:15:57

people are always watching us

1:15:59

and I just feel

1:16:02

it all the

1:16:03

all the

1:16:04

time. Do you think from

1:16:06

watching

1:16:07

these Carlisle speak with

1:16:09

gone earlier.

1:16:12

When asking about

1:16:14

mister Carlisle, her body

1:16:17

language seemed

1:16:19

Off. What

1:16:20

did you hear anything that they said before

1:16:22

they left? Little bits and pieces. It seems

1:16:25

like she's cooperating with with

1:16:26

in showing whatever hopefully, showing

1:16:29

whatever is in

1:16:32

that safe.

1:16:33

It looks

1:16:36

disappointing. So I'm not gonna

1:16:37

break into a safe. But

1:16:39

he's a dingo. initially,

1:16:42

there was something

1:16:43

off about her body language when mentioning mister Carlyle, and I'm wondering if

1:16:45

we do break

1:16:47

into something perhaps it

1:16:51

would be her office. Uh-huh. Well, let's see

1:16:53

how this goes. I do

1:16:54

you know me. I

1:16:57

love breaking into something. But let's

1:16:59

Let's see what happens with old

1:17:00

double v. Alright.

1:17:02

Just try to be

1:17:04

inconspicuous.

1:17:06

not a problem. big stuff.

1:17:08

That is twenty two. Almost done.

1:17:10

And after the new guy. And,

1:17:13

yeah, just everywhere

1:17:16

you look Like, if this was

1:17:18

a movie, you would just see different, like, grotesque faces at the party. I'll just

1:17:20

get it looks like they're

1:17:22

staring at

1:17:23

the three of you. Flank

1:17:26

flank flank flank flank flank. We go back to the library. You're inside the library. There's chairs

1:17:28

everywhere tables with little

1:17:31

reading lamps on them. Ashtrays,

1:17:35

a couple of sputoons. There's also a couple

1:17:37

of sputoons. A couple of sputoons

1:17:40

back in the

1:17:42

twenties. They were huge. There's an elaborate

1:17:45

high Victorian iron

1:17:48

fireplace, a

1:17:51

magnificent peak and slate billyards

1:17:54

table. And then, of course, several thousand volumes of

1:17:59

books protected behind glass

1:18:02

cases along the walls. So it's not something you could just reach in and grab.

1:18:04

If you're glancing very quickly,

1:18:06

you see dickens and wrap Adcliffe

1:18:11

Parkman, Ralph Waldorf Emerson. It's just it's

1:18:14

got everything. Looks like mainly

1:18:16

literature, but then there's

1:18:18

another section that seems to be of

1:18:20

of stranger, maybe perhaps

1:18:22

more esoteric topics.

1:18:26

And she

1:18:28

says, to you

1:18:30

that yes. So this

1:18:32

is the room where

1:18:34

we

1:18:34

had a break in. shortly

1:18:38

after Robert's death, we've

1:18:40

cleaned it up. Luckily, they didn't break

1:18:42

any of the glass. It's unlocked.

1:18:46

Anyone could just takebooks, but they didn't find what

1:18:48

they were looking for.

1:18:50

Unknown to Roger, I

1:18:52

found out the

1:18:55

combination to his safe. he was

1:18:57

sloppy. It was easy. And I jotted it down. I

1:18:59

have not looked in the safe after

1:19:03

So it's

1:19:04

been been a little while. I

1:19:06

as I said, the books were

1:19:08

quite disturbing. It was

1:19:10

not something I wanted to

1:19:12

drudge up, but I did write

1:19:14

down the the combination and I jotted it down

1:19:16

on the fly leaf of one

1:19:19

of the posts collected work. oddly

1:19:24

enough. And I I

1:19:27

know that's in

1:19:29

here somewhere.

1:19:31

it should be. So if you could help

1:19:33

me find that, that will give you

1:19:35

the combination to

1:19:40

the safe on to roll some

1:19:42

library. Yes. point and click adventure. Here we go. Alright.

1:19:45

Just can't

1:19:48

find that works. Spanish. See if

1:19:50

I can be of any assistance, if my keen eyes can see your

1:19:55

organization's system here. Skyrim quest

1:19:58

comes up to find that book. Oh, dear. Oh,

1:19:59

dear. Oh, Alright.

1:20:04

Is

1:20:04

that one with library skills that's

1:20:06

outside that door? Yeah. That's true.

1:20:12

That's true.

1:20:12

So I feel that. So and

1:20:14

that's actually maybe a decent idea. A decent a

1:20:17

non gaming with faith praise.

1:20:19

That's a good idea. I

1:20:21

have a con man friend next

1:20:23

to us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If

1:20:28

I'm you've misled volume, my

1:20:30

guess to this evening just so

1:20:34

happens to be a an academic

1:20:36

of of the most

1:20:39

astounding prowess. Might

1:20:44

I invite to

1:20:44

join us here in the

1:20:47

library to search for the volume? A guest, you say, I wasn't aware that you

1:20:51

were with someone. Well,

1:20:54

I see on the level. Does understand everything told has been

1:20:56

with me on

1:20:59

my

1:20:59

recent travels and my

1:21:02

recent travels and I dare

1:21:03

say she has

1:21:05

proved herself more effective in

1:21:07

almost every capacity than

1:21:09

I myself can

1:21:11

claim to be. Yes. That

1:21:13

would be fine. And, to be quite honest, I need to be getting

1:21:15

back to the party. I've

1:21:17

told mister Corrie. Yes.

1:21:20

Of course. fine.

1:21:22

But to leave us the room,

1:21:24

we'll we'll, of course, sir. Yes. The

1:21:27

safe not to give much of your

1:21:29

time. It just contains these books, we've

1:21:31

installed a much more secure

1:21:33

safe upstairs in the

1:21:35

offices. So, you know,

1:21:37

there's nothing in here

1:21:39

except those books And of course. And let

1:21:41

me show you where it is, and she brings you over to a

1:21:44

like, it

1:21:45

just looks

1:21:47

like more books on

1:21:49

the wall. Mhmm. But she's, like, lifts it and it's just

1:21:51

their fake like, four fake books. They

1:21:54

lift off the side.

1:21:56

and it's just a panel there with

1:21:58

a button. She presses the button, the button opens, and there's a safe behind it.

1:22:03

Just like if you are able to locate the combination, you

1:22:05

are more than welcome. It is

1:22:07

not something I wish

1:22:11

to dive into. mister Villas, it has been

1:22:13

a pleasure. I do hope we get a chance to speak again. I'm giving you

1:22:15

the opportunity to take this information

1:22:18

because perhaps full that I am.

1:22:21

I trust you, but I like your faithiness, and I like the chance

1:22:23

to put this entire thing to

1:22:27

bed. If anything, about

1:22:30

what you said is true.

1:22:33

Have

1:22:35

added mister

1:22:36

Filius. My

1:22:38

gratitude is beyond

1:22:42

words to express.

1:22:44

Thank you, miss Carla. Click.

I shall prove myself well ahead. And

1:24:59

attractive characters that we are. Wow. How

miss Carlisle. peaks and

1:25:07

valleys, mister Brown, while she was quite forthcoming

1:25:09

with information about her brother, it seems that

1:25:11

all is not paradise within

1:25:14

the house carlyle. And quite a bit of a Saw that in her

1:25:16

body language. Yes. No. Not not a great

1:25:18

deal of respect about her brother, who

1:25:22

she describes the most privileged and bounder. Do you ever

1:25:24

tag his way about? Doesn't

1:25:26

do it much. Yes. Well,

1:25:28

what else to do with rich

1:25:30

people? They're all harmless. No offense. thought. But

1:25:32

come on. I mean, they they don't know

1:25:34

truth enough. We shall find a disagreement from me. Yes. And

1:25:39

the safe head, have experiences that shook me out

1:25:42

of my cage somewhat. Miss

1:25:44

Carlisle, seems still

1:25:46

quite attached to the prejudices

1:25:50

of her class and but she did say that her brother did fall what she proclaims

1:25:56

the beechishment. of a certain

1:25:58

Missa Bonet who operated out of Harlem, who claimed

1:26:00

to be some

1:26:03

sort of high priestess. Ireland.

1:26:05

Alright. Well Treestis.

to might

1:26:12

this have to do with

1:26:14

ethical sex? It may will. I I don't know

1:26:16

whether to chalk

1:26:19

this up to the damable

1:26:21

prejudice of a closed minded society

1:26:24

matron or if there's something

1:26:26

more to it and there is

1:26:28

something malignant

1:26:31

about her. Miss Bonnet, for apparently

1:26:33

not long after their association, and

1:26:35

mister Carlisle began to have

1:26:38

dreams of the sort referenced

1:26:40

by mister Elias in his

1:26:42

letter. He was drawn to Africa you see by these by these visions.

1:26:45

And here he

1:26:48

looks at Margo.

1:26:50

It's like, it's Dreams. What? Yes. We know the score.

1:26:56

Mhmm. Yes. Let's maybe -- Okay. --

1:26:58

let's talk about this safe that I gotta crack. Where? Yes. Yes. Of course.

1:27:01

I'm before

1:27:04

I It it the the combination

1:27:06

lies as it were walled up behind

1:27:09

the pages of some book like

1:27:11

a man in the casket of a Montecado. So all you have to do

1:27:13

is find the volume of Edgar Allan Po, and

1:27:15

they are slap bang on

1:27:17

the inside fly leaf you shall find the

1:27:19

combination to that. Oh, I got

1:27:22

the comment

1:27:22

there. Alright. Well, that shouldn't

1:27:25

be too difficult. And as

1:27:27

Margo not as MR. As

1:27:30

favorites is is kind of solely

1:27:32

scanning around the room, and I'm sure

1:27:34

about to roll something. fours will

1:27:36

say that there is

1:27:39

there is something

1:27:41

that's

1:27:43

very suspicious. that I haven't told you about yet. And

1:27:44

that is

1:27:46

that my

1:27:47

father

1:27:50

is here chimme the door opens up. How is this

1:27:52

the famed Carlisle library?

1:27:54

I've always wanted to. I'm

1:27:56

so excited about things so

1:27:58

that You bought her. Okay.

1:28:01

We'll get out of here. Well, I just wanted to

1:28:03

see the the famous color elaborate. Just a couple

1:28:07

seconds more. We haven't read everything yet. It's

1:28:09

a pretty large name. I'm not asking to play a million. Choose

1:28:11

a nice shot.

1:28:14

She doesn't let shut the door. Oh, I don't to to other

1:28:16

people. Oh, that's the door.

1:28:18

Hold it

1:28:19

to close. It's not eyes

1:28:21

on

1:28:21

us. There's a It's

1:28:23

amazing my life. I don't

1:28:25

know again. You won't tell me. Here's a thing, is that he's I've told him,

1:28:27

I've update. I've written letters him about all of our

1:28:29

expeditions. The reason why

1:28:31

I'm a New York

1:28:33

he knows why I'm here and he

1:28:35

didn't

1:28:35

tell me that he was gonna be

1:28:37

here tonight. And then and then have the

1:28:39

audacity to tell me that we were in some

1:28:42

kind of dangerous that I didn't know already and then

1:28:44

wouldn't deleverage. Okay. Well,

1:28:47

let's

1:28:47

let's unpack that in a

1:28:49

little bit. I feel like we

1:28:51

should we should find use your library magic.

1:28:53

Find this thing. Find the combination since I get

1:28:56

sick. She's doing a long division in your

1:28:58

head

1:28:58

in her head trying to connect the

1:29:00

dots I don't

1:29:02

think that she knows you're in the order

1:29:04

too right now. So she's like, your dad said the same thing

1:29:06

this guy said to me, like, sucks. I'm gonna yeah.

1:29:10

I've given

1:29:10

a courtesy search of this damn library, and

1:29:12

I can't find any source. going to

1:29:14

get to it.

1:29:15

A library of new Simon suit. Yeah. All

1:29:17

these books

1:29:17

are making me real uncomfortable. So you can do a spot hidden for the book or a library used

1:29:19

to see if there's some

1:29:23

sort of order to things

1:29:25

here where they collect What would be more useful

1:29:28

to? Whatever you have a higher

1:29:30

score. Like, would library

1:29:31

use help me find

1:29:35

where it's, like, in

1:29:36

the book

1:29:37

where it's located? Or Library

1:29:39

use

1:29:39

is going to make probably

1:29:42

help you get an easier spot hidden

1:29:44

row. Mechanically speaking,

1:29:45

like, you could do a harder spot hitting role or a successful

1:29:47

library use would lower the difficulty of the spot hitting. because

1:29:49

library used to be like, alright. It's gotta

1:29:51

be over here somewhere. Alright.

1:29:55

Well, let's let's start with a spot. Let's let's start with

1:29:57

the library use then. And because there

1:29:59

are thousands of books here. And

1:30:01

I rolled an eighteen

1:30:04

under

1:30:04

fifty. for

1:30:05

library use. Alright. So

1:30:07

you're looking at the setup here and you

1:30:09

do

1:30:11

see bound

1:30:12

books of writers,

1:30:15

of fiction writers, taking

1:30:19

up a large section of it. But then you

1:30:21

noticed that there are other sections that contain books

1:30:23

on, like, the occult and

1:30:27

and books with like magic and the title and

1:30:29

whatnot. And then there's a large

1:30:31

case filled with old reference

1:30:33

works in both English

1:30:36

and French. but then you

1:30:38

come over to an area with, like, mainly American poets.

1:30:40

the american poet

1:30:43

but everything is out of order.

1:30:44

No doubt from when

1:30:46

the library was turned

1:30:50

upside down. So now, give me a spot hitting, and you

1:30:52

can all roll that when she's when Frearose

1:30:54

is like, it's gonna be here similar. Okay.

1:30:59

I rolled a thirty three. Very

1:31:01

apropos for an

1:31:04

occult library. Or for a la

1:31:06

if you were looking for Larrybirds, autobi.

1:31:08

Mhmm. Alrighty. Thirty three would come in

1:31:10

handy. Alright. Anybody else succeed on this button?

1:31:13

Yes. I Oh, now it's on thirty

1:31:15

three hundred eighty, by

1:31:15

the way. sorry.

1:31:19

Hard success. I rolled under

1:31:21

my seventy five. I rolled a

1:31:23

sixty nine. Sixty nine.

1:31:24

Okay. Regular success. Well, it is

1:31:27

like finding a needle in a Why

1:31:29

not? Thank you. I almost

1:31:32

I I get a dog

1:31:35

too. I kept it together, and I went to Nora. And then

1:31:37

she started it. I don't

1:31:39

understand. Children's, internally, went

1:31:42

nice. Nice. Nice. I

1:31:44

was gonna say it's like

1:31:46

finding a needle in

1:31:49

a haystack. The library

1:31:51

used really did help for you able to nail that hard

1:31:53

success with a side order

1:31:55

of sixty nine

1:31:59

and you find several of Poe's

1:32:01

collected works. If you start

1:32:04

You see, written on

1:32:06

the fly lanes of one.

1:32:09

a combination that

1:32:10

appears a series of numbers. Oh, Troy, I have to ask you. Of

1:32:12

course, of course, in a a library

1:32:14

and a place you'll state like this,

1:32:18

the Carlin family would have an ex libris stamp,

1:32:21

a a personalized legend

1:32:23

or a stamper or a thing

1:32:25

that they'd conk on the inner fly

1:32:27

leaf of every book. just to make sure

1:32:29

you knew where it was from. What does their ex

1:32:31

Libris design look like? Yes. Trunks. Like a a lion. Just

1:32:33

like, you know, when

1:32:36

there's like the two

1:32:38

griffins, so it's like a

1:32:40

lion and a unicorn, and they're kissing.

1:32:42

And then there's an ornate thing. gothic

1:32:46

sea in the middle. Mhmm. Erotic.

1:32:49

That stands for

1:32:52

Carlisle, you would assume. There's

1:32:54

no way of knowing. So you've got the combinations, like, left fifteen right

1:32:56

to

1:33:01

Hi. I

1:33:02

believe this is

1:33:05

it. Troy, what particularly

1:33:07

where in in the

1:33:11

unabridged work of Edgar Allen Po

1:33:13

with this have been written on. Right

1:33:15

on

1:33:15

the fly. Right on the fly

1:33:18

relief of just a a collection

1:33:20

of his bones. Yeah. Right on the

1:33:22

inside -- Yeah. -- cover written in

1:33:24

Erica's handwriting. It's very nice handwriting. walk

1:33:27

over

1:33:27

to that section of library.

1:33:29

Fond knows where it is

1:33:31

now. Lifts a fake section of

1:33:33

books. presses a button. Put him

1:33:36

there's the safe. Open, sesame,

1:33:38

and all that. Who enters the

1:33:40

combination?

1:33:42

I

1:33:43

mean Carter will do it.

1:33:45

Carter will do it. Carter will do it. Carter

1:33:47

will do it. It doesn't matter if it's legally

1:33:49

or not. fucking handsome. It's such a

1:33:51

deprive you of the of the opportunities to crack safe old boy, but at least

1:33:53

you'll still be able to pop it over.

1:33:55

As long as I open

1:33:59

a safe. I feel like the night's been a

1:34:00

success. That's what they

1:34:02

say. Yes, sir. l. You

1:34:05

see guys, the

1:34:07

l means left. or that
