Bridgewater is a production of iHeartRadio

0:02

three D Audio and Grim and Mild from Aaron

0:04

Mankey. For a full exposure, listen

0:07

with headphones. Listener discretion

0:09

advised. Shelley.

0:14

I uh, nope, not ready

0:16

to talk to you yet. So I

0:19

look, I understand that you guys need a place to

0:21

stay for god knows what reason, But

0:23

I Nanna's house is haunted. Uh

0:25

wow, just because we're under one roof,

0:28

it does not mean we're a family.

0:31

Jeremy, You're welcome here. He always have

0:33

been unless um,

0:36

did you know that that you

0:38

know he was my father? No,

0:42

I'm I'm I found out last

0:45

week. I guess I guess I sort of figured

0:47

it out. You would have told me, though,

0:50

right like if live had, because

0:52

god knows, my own mother didn't seem to be in a hurry.

0:55

I M. I don't

0:57

know. I was still trying to adjust to the idea of having

0:59

a family that I didn't know all about, and then my

1:03

dead father came back and right

1:05

right, I'm sorry. It's just this is probably

1:08

very weird for you too. Yeah,

1:12

I know it's going to take some time to not

1:15

talking to you. Remember, jee,

1:20

godmother, how could you have

1:22

never told me. It

1:24

wasn't just my decision, Nancy, Bradshawn,

1:27

I agreed that we didn't want to cause more chaos

1:29

in your Bradshaw. Okay, you

1:32

both knew that we were going

1:34

to know each other. We were going to the same school.

1:36

Honey, How was I supposed to know that you were

1:38

going to skip a grade by the time you were in the

1:40

same high school? It was too late? Oh it's my fault.

1:43

Great, But now when I am

1:45

forty with two kids who have grown up without

1:48

their uncle, now is just the perfect

1:51

time. I think

1:54

that we can all agree that this situation

1:57

is less than ideal, but it's

2:00

a situation that we have, and

2:02

I think we're pretty goddamn lucky to be in

2:04

this situation at all. Dad,

2:06

I think you're right. I mean, there

2:08

really is nothing we can do about the past. Dad.

2:13

Well, Jeremy had you as a father

2:15

at least for a little bit. And so

2:18

what is it I'm supposed to call you?

2:20

You can call me whatever you want. I

2:23

know I don't get to ask for more,

2:27

all right? Anyone want to order a pizza?

3:05

Ah? Yeah? Can

3:09

you just be honest with me? Was that the worst

3:11

lecture I've ever given? No? I

3:13

thought it was fine, Pip,

3:15

And why are you sugarcoating it for me? Can

3:18

you have to remember your worst is still better

3:20

than half of the professors here, so

3:23

you just admitted it it was my worst, Jeremy

3:28

ha. This all

3:30

just feels so futile,

3:33

to say the least. Well, I think you can

3:35

be forgiven for having a hard time focusing on telling

3:38

a bunch of teenagers about the cultural

3:40

reasoning behind the creation of the Dover Demon

3:42

myth when you now know there's

3:44

a pretty good chance that the Dover Demon

3:47

isn't a myth at all, but an actual demon

3:49

who might actually be out there attacking

3:51

people. Oh my god, I

3:53

don't think the Dover Demon is actually big enough though,

3:55

to have left a handprint on that camp for

3:57

the Yes, I know, I know. How

4:00

are you feeling about everything? We haven't really

4:04

I had a chance to talk about anything

4:07

since I'm

4:09

okay, I guess the only

4:12

thing is getting my degree now suddenly

4:14

feels way less important, but not unimportant

4:17

enough to just stop doing

4:19

my work. Well, for

4:22

what it's worth, I'm really grateful for that, because

4:24

I am barely keeping

4:27

the curriculum together as it is. I definitely

4:29

would not be able to do this without you. Right now, I

4:31

just feel like if each of us is giving half of our

4:34

all that adds up to something like

4:36

a right it's

4:40

very inspiring. I

4:42

guess I should I should feel lucky that

4:44

at least my work is related. I

4:46

can pretend the grading papers is going to

4:48

give some sort of clue about what kind of monsters

4:51

we're dealing with. Well, any

4:53

luck, so far, between everything

4:55

we've encountered and the sightings I've been tracking

4:57

from the seekers, activity is dea definitely

5:00

kicking up. Are the seeker sightings?

5:03

Are? Are they the same kind that we've been encountering.

5:05

Well, there's some overlap. So

5:07

we know for certain that there's a giant black dog

5:10

and a giant ape like bear man, your

5:12

hawkmock howler hold for applause.

5:15

That might be the same something with large

5:17

claws and a single row of teeth that eats

5:19

cow lungs and attacks campers, and

5:22

that thing might also have

5:24

small front paws, or you know, there's

5:26

just some foxes and hawk amok.

5:29

Right, and the seekers have heard

5:31

reports of voices in both the swamp and free

5:33

down more than usual, and a bunch of alleged

5:36

encounters with everything from werewolves

5:38

to aliens to Mothman and Goatman.

5:40

Okay, so it's basically the greatest hits.

5:43

Yeah, are you getting any sense of how

5:45

many of them might actually be reliable?

5:48

Well, the Mothman and alien ones intrigue

5:50

me the most, although there's also something to be

5:52

said for the werewolf sightings. We don't get a

5:54

ton of those. Is it weird that

5:56

despite everything all of this, like the

5:59

legends like werewolves

6:01

and vampires, those just

6:03

still seem far fetched to me for

6:05

some reason? No, No, I think I get

6:07

that. I mean, we don't really know the bounds

6:09

of all of this yet, right, but both werewolves

6:12

and vampires are so tied into the

6:14

human world, actual people

6:16

being transformed into something else, and we

6:19

haven't seen any evidence of that yet, So right,

6:21

right, right, right? You know, I think it's eminently

6:23

possible that those those legends they're

6:26

coming from some actual

6:28

supernatural sources, but there's a misunderstanding

6:31

of them, like creatures from the Faye realm that

6:33

are human enough, and then

6:35

it seems like they're from our world or something

6:37

like. I don't know, it's like that's what I was thinking

6:39

about the werewolves. We know there's some kind

6:42

of canine creature and something by petal,

6:44

right, and the mothman and the alien sightings. The

6:47

alien sightings are almost certainly puckweggies

6:50

or willow whisps or something like

6:52

that, right, right, And and then the mothman, I

6:54

mean he's large, me his wings, which

6:56

is like the thunderbird. Right. But I was

6:58

also thinking what about this? What if maybe it's

7:00

the Jersey Devil? Right, thunderbirds

7:02

have wings and claws, but the Jersey Devil has

7:05

wings, claws, and teeth. You think

7:07

that that might be the thing that killed the camper,

7:09

but it would have smaller

7:11

arms or something like

7:14

it. I know this is in New Jersey, but nothing

7:16

to say. The monsters don't move around though, right,

7:18

and and maybe the gates due

7:21

too. I was thinking about

7:23

the legend of the Jersey Devil. How supposedly

7:25

Jane Leeds had twelve children and then

7:27

pooh, right right right right, and then our thirteenth

7:30

transformed into a monster. We think

7:32

that the Leeds family actually did have twelve

7:35

children, and I always thought that maybe they

7:37

did have a thirteenth, but they died or were

7:39

still born, and that's where the legend

7:41

comes from. But what

7:44

if the thirteenth child was

7:46

given over to the fay Realm. Oh

7:49

my God, like a sacrifice after the fay

7:51

Realm sent a creature to terrorize the town,

7:54

a y verne or a griffin or some

7:56

kind of winged creature that then God

7:58

transformed into a local myth that cast

8:01

Mother leads as a witch. That's

8:03

a very interesting thought, right, I've

8:06

realized that really this doesn't

8:08

help us now, But no,

8:11

no, no, no, it's good. It's good to be thinking

8:13

about this stuff from every angle. I

8:16

was going to say it helps to be as prepared as

8:18

possible in case we run into whatever is out there.

8:20

But the problem is, there's

8:22

really there's

8:26

no way to be prepared for any of this,

8:28

is there, Truly?

8:32

I got breakfast with

8:34

Peyton this morning. What

8:37

Yeah, I wanted to follow up with her on the

8:40

room. You saw her carve, try to understand

8:42

exactly how they work. And

8:45

it's magic, obviously, right, obviously,

8:48

but it doesn't seem like complicated

8:50

magic, or at least the complicated bit was

8:52

already been done by the Gathering through the years.

8:55

Apparently there's all kinds of runs

8:58

throughout the Bridgewater Triangle that

9:00

have been keeping things

9:03

fenced in I don't

9:05

know how well they're working. Well,

9:08

it seems like the gate doesn't actually

9:10

have a fixed point, So

9:12

you are actually serious about the gates moving around?

9:15

Well, I don't know if one could hop from New Jersey to

9:17

Massachusetts, but I guess it's

9:19

shuffled around different spots in the

9:21

triangle, which is why the ruins haven't

9:23

been all that effective. And then Peyton said

9:25

that she can keep things out, but

9:27

she can't keep things in right exactly.

9:30

So I was thinking, what if we

9:32

created a kind of border around

9:34

Freetown Forest. I know the gate

9:37

might not still be over the lake, but if

9:39

we can make the whole area around

9:41

the lake impossible to pass through,

9:43

then and for all intents and purposes, the creatures

9:45

would be kept in, yes, at least

9:47

until the gate moves. Well, I think

9:49

that's worth of a shot. At least it

9:52

could buy us some time. Did Peyton

9:54

seem up with that idea? Yeah, she

9:56

drew out the ruins for me. I

9:59

was actually hoping you'd go to the forest

10:01

with me and start carving them in.

10:04

Please, Why doesn't she want

10:06

to do it herself? She said she's needed

10:09

in the swamp today. Okay,

10:14

okay, so you and me going

10:17

back into the woods to

10:20

do magic and

10:23

with the room my friend taught me the other day.

10:25

Hopefully we'll we'll be covered if

10:27

we actually run in there anything. I

10:31

have a feeling this isn't what you expected when you signed

10:33

up to be a ta. Actually, this

10:35

was exactly what I expected from

10:37

this job. Shelly,

11:05

you're home. Have you just been sitting

11:07

in the kitchen waiting for me? I thought

11:10

maybe we could talk. I

11:13

had such a terrible night's

11:15

sleep last night that I had

11:17

to skip out on work early. In

11:20

fact, I've had a series

11:22

of terrible night's sleep, so I

11:24

would like to sit down and

11:26

just not think for a little bit. Well,

11:29

then sit down here at least and let me do

11:31

all the talking. Mom stop,

11:34

Look, baby, I

11:37

don't know how long we're going to be staying here, but

11:39

I think we should figure out how

11:41

to live together peacefully while we're here.

11:44

I'm fine, haven't you guys stay as long

11:46

as you need to. But that

11:48

doesn't mean that we need to interact at

11:51

all. Shelley, it's

11:53

three pm. It's three

11:56

pm. The day after my

11:58

line mother showed up on my doorstep

12:00

with the father and brother. I never knew about

12:02

in toe. So I think that I

12:04

have earned a glass of wine? Do

12:07

you mind poor me a glass? Then? Yes?

12:12

I do. Mind you haven't really

12:14

yelled at me yet. You know, if you want to yell at

12:16

me, go right ahead. I

12:20

don't want to yell at you, Mom,

12:23

I'm

12:23

not. I'm

12:26

not even sure that I'm angry,

12:29

not anymore. I just I'm

12:31

I'm more sad.

12:35

I know you robbed me oh

12:38

so much of knowing

12:40

who my father was, the

12:43

chance to ask questions

12:45

about him, to keep him

12:47

with me as I grew up, of

12:50

having a brother. I know, I

12:52

know. Do you want to know what hurts

12:55

the most? Mom?

12:57

You robbed me of you? I

13:00

mean you never there

13:02

was always this canyon between

13:05

us. I'm so sorry.

13:07

No, no, stop, I'm not saying that you

13:09

were a bad mother. It's not. I

13:14

always knew that you loved me and

13:17

that you would do anything to protect me. And

13:21

you raised me to be strong and

13:23

thoughtful and to take no ship

13:26

from anyone, and I am I'm

13:28

really grateful for that. But

13:32

but you

13:35

kept yourself like at this

13:37

distance always.

13:41

And that's the thing that I kept thinking

13:43

about as I lay in bed last night,

13:46

because it's just it's

13:49

too much. Mom.

13:52

There's too many changes to my reality

13:55

that you brought to my door, and so the only

13:57

thing that I could focus on after

14:00

seeing you was how

14:02

all of it answered a question

14:05

I've been asking my whole life. Who

14:08

your father was. No,

14:11

No, not that question,

14:13

the question of why

14:16

you are the way that you are.

14:20

No makes sense. No, you didn't

14:22

know how to connect with me because when you looked

14:24

at me, you were reminded of him,

14:27

of what you lost. Shelley,

14:31

Shelley, No, it's

14:33

okay, No, it's not, Shelley.

14:36

That's not at all why

14:38

you are right, there was

14:41

a distance between us, and I could feel it

14:43

growing bigger and deeper

14:45

with each passing year, and I, you

14:48

know, I never knew how to fix it,

14:50

but it never had

14:52

anything to do with you. I

14:55

love you. I

14:57

love you more than anything in

14:59

the world. You

15:02

and Live and Ethan are the most important

15:05

people to me, and I would do anything,

15:07

anything for you. I know

15:10

that, and all the failings

15:12

I had as a mother keeping

15:15

you at arms of length that never

15:17

ever had anything to do with you.

15:21

You would do things sometimes

15:25

that reminded me of Thomas, you know, like

15:29

those expressions that you would get or

15:32

the way that you were always so practical. But those,

15:35

Honey, only ever made me happy

15:38

that he lived in you. You know, you

15:41

never made me sad that I could see your dad

15:43

in you. But why,

15:47

oh,

15:50

just something

15:52

broke in me. At

15:55

the time when Thomas first disappeared, there

15:57

was hope, you know, hope

15:59

that he would turn up, we'd

16:01

find him, And

16:04

then that hope kind of just turned

16:07

into waiting for answers, and by

16:11

the time I realized neither were coming, I

16:13

was nine months pregnant and terrified.

16:18

We were so excited when

16:21

we found out about you. Thomas

16:23

had already been planning on leaving

16:25

Nancy, he had told her

16:28

as much, and then this amazing

16:30

thing was happening, and Jeremy was really warming

16:32

up to me, and it felt it felt like, you

16:35

know, we were gonna be a

16:37

real family. I never expected

16:39

to do it all alone,

16:42

and kind of felt like it

16:44

happened all at once. You know, you were born

16:46

and Thomas was gone. And on

16:51

top of all that, I lost Jeremy. I

16:53

lost this sweet little

16:56

boy who I'd start to think of

16:58

as my own son. But I

17:00

had you. I

17:02

had lost the most important

17:05

people to me, and one feel swooping at

17:07

the same time I began

17:10

the best part of my life, the

17:13

part where I get to be your

17:15

mom, and it was it

17:17

was just too much, you know, it

17:20

was it was like my heart was

17:23

so overwhelmed with feeling and

17:26

grief and joy and

17:29

anger and fear. I just I just

17:32

shut down and

17:34

then I

17:38

I never really started back up again. I

17:42

think I

17:45

think that's the most I've ever

17:48

hurt you talking about your feelings. Yeah,

17:51

well, oh

17:54

they've been a little hard access for the past forty

17:56

years, and

17:58

I'm really sorry for that. I

18:03

wanted to give you so much. And if I could

18:05

go back and do it all over again, even

18:08

if that meant losing Thomas and Jeremy

18:10

again, I would do it. I

18:13

would do it a thousand

18:16

times if it meant I could get it right for

18:19

what it's worth. I'm

18:22

sorry. I'm so sorry.

18:25

You lost so much. I

18:27

gained more. And

18:30

look, you know, now here

18:32

we are and we're all together

18:34

again, and it's weird.

18:43

That's prettying it mildly. Yeah,

18:46

yeah, but it could be good. We

18:49

could have the family we were always supposed

18:51

to, or at least something close

18:53

to it. Maybe, yeah,

18:57

maybe.

19:06

Wow, you've got a lot of posters

19:09

I wonder if Jeremy's fall was like this when he was

19:11

young, if here's anything like my

19:13

mom my doubt right. I

19:16

don't recognize any of these bands. I

19:18

guess that shouldn't be too surprising. Yeah,

19:21

I guess not. You know, I

19:23

think maybe I should set you up on some sort

19:26

of Google play date because you still

19:28

haven't been on the internet, right Google.

19:31

Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm

19:33

still a little intimidated by it. But

19:35

you're pretty good at all of this

19:38

stuff, right, all this technology

19:40

stuff. Yeah, I always been really into

19:42

it. But this,

19:44

um, this radio, it's

19:47

a bit out of my skill set. But

19:49

that but that that that program is

19:51

helping. YouTube tutorials are

19:53

the answer to every question. YouTube.

19:57

Okay, all right, I should

20:00

work now. Do

20:02

you know what was wrong with it? It's just a short

20:05

and here we go. Well

20:09

done. Well that was the easy

20:11

part. Right now, we've got to figure out how to tap into the

20:13

liminal. Do you remember what it was

20:15

like to try and call out to Nana

20:18

when you were over there? There wasn't

20:20

you know, any strategy to it. I just

20:24

I was just trying to get through. Man.

20:27

That must have been scary. Come

20:29

on, let's get this thing going right? Um?

20:32

Okay, So what station do we think Harry's

20:34

Ghost broadcasts, because

20:37

we could just scan through a bunch of different frequencies

20:39

see if anything pops up. Okay,

20:42

um, I am both.

20:45

Yeah, this might take a while. There are a lot more

20:47

stations now than there were nineteen forty.

20:49

Yeah, I bet

20:53

maybe I can hear some of the new music. Who

20:56

are you? Okay? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

20:59

I'm just get No, No, I'm fine.

21:01

I'm fine. It's just my just as a little type for some

21:03

reason. Do you want

21:05

me to get you some water or something? No,

21:09

I'm fine. Let's let's go

21:11

ahead. Let's communicate with the other side. Olive,

21:15

I'm fine. Oh

21:23

it's a beautiful day. Huh.

21:26

Okay. So she said to be sure to carve

21:28

the rooms in birch, beach or pine,

21:31

but not Hickory. Okay,

21:33

cool. Do you even know what those trees look like?

21:36

Oh? Yes I do. Birch and pine are

21:38

both pretty distinctive. Great, so

21:40

let's stick to those and just say fuck

21:42

beach, fuck beach. She didn't

21:44

say we had to use all three types, did she No,

21:46

just that there are best woods for channeling the magic.

21:51

So how are you

21:53

doing? What

21:57

do you mean? I mean,

21:59

I know you've known Shelley for a

22:01

while, but oh

22:03

yeah, that H'm

22:07

I'm okay. I feel like I've I've had time to

22:09

adjust, not fully,

22:11

but at least I

22:13

was hit with the revelation that I have a half sister before

22:16

my dad reappeared. Shelley was given

22:19

that one two punch. Yeah,

22:21

Olivia was too Oh god right,

22:24

you're right. I didn't even think about that. We

22:26

haven't really had the uncle

22:29

niece talk yet. I guess is

22:33

that is that a talk that people have seems

22:36

like a talk we're gonna need that. I

22:39

don't know. God, I can't believe

22:41

Joseph Hoskins is my brother in law.

22:44

No, I mean, there really

22:47

is no way to exaggerate just how small

22:49

this town is. Huh, there really isn't.

22:52

I really don't like that guy. Well,

22:57

things seem pretty calm today. Maybe

22:59

what ever Peyton's done so far as working?

23:02

I hope so. I really

23:05

don't want to run into that dog again. Speaking

23:07

of which, have you checked in with a doctor about that?

23:10

No, it was just a scratch. I'm fine.

23:12

How do you how do you know? I mean, okay,

23:16

I guess magical dogs probably aren't at risk of transmitting

23:19

rabies. Oh god, I

23:22

didn't even think about that. What if I have some

23:24

kind of magical rabies? I

23:27

definitely don't think you have magical rabies. Oh

23:29

hey you're here. Hey you

23:31

say carved magic rounds, and I say,

23:33

show me where, Hippin.

23:36

This is the legend tripper I was telling you about, the one

23:38

who I kept running into taught

23:40

me that round. Oh hi, and

23:43

this is my friend Nippin. Nice

23:45

to meet you, Vippin. So why

23:47

do you say I definitely don't have magical rabies?

23:50

Couldn't the dog be carrying some kind of I

23:52

don't know, curse maybe,

23:54

but it's unlikely it'd be transferred through its

23:56

claws. You didn't get bitten, did you?

23:59

No, then you're probably okay.

24:02

Bites are really what you have to worry about with synanthropes.

24:05

If you'd gotten scratched by a manticore or

24:07

fad felon, it'd be a different story.

24:09

But it seems like you got lucky

24:12

lucky, right. You

24:15

sound pretty confident about all this.

24:17

I told you she was pretty knowledgeable. Yeah,

24:20

I've been around the block. Oh,

24:22

you've had encounters. I

24:24

know, it's all real, if that's what you mean,

24:27

right, But to be clear without

24:30

proof, well you believe before

24:32

you had proof, right, No, I

24:34

wanted to believe. That's different

24:36

from claiming to know exactly what kinds of dangerous

24:39

monster. Suppose when you haven't actually seen

24:41

one. WHOA,

24:44

I didn't mean to offend. No, No, no, you didn't.

24:46

I just think it's a little weird,

24:49

that's all. Yeah, this is

24:51

all a bit weird. That's kind of the point,

24:53

right. No. I mean the

24:55

fact that you seem to just be going around the wilderness

24:58

waiting to run into people so you and lecture

25:00

them on what you think you know about the supernatural.

25:04

Um, I feel like we got off on the

25:06

wrong foot. Can

25:09

you excuse us for just a second. Hey,

25:14

man, are you okay? What's going on? Don't

25:16

you find this suspicious? The woman

25:18

she just showed up vi I texted her?

25:20

Yeah, but I mean before, where

25:23

did she come from? What is

25:25

this really about? Vimen? Are you worried that she's wrong,

25:28

that the dog claws really could have

25:30

done something to you? No? No, no, it's

25:32

not that it's I

25:34

just don't have a bad feeling, Jeremy.

25:37

You met the rest of the legend trippers. Some

25:39

of them might be a little too fanatical, but

25:42

they're good allies for us to have. Okay,

25:44

and she's been super helpful to me. Just

25:46

give her a chance. I actually

25:48

think you'll you'll come to like her, maybe

25:50

you'll maybe you'll

25:52

even become friends. Okay,

25:55

Okay, yeah, I'm sorry. I

25:57

don't know why I got so, I'm

26:00

I'm good. Okay, all right, good, let's go

26:03

everything. Okay, Yes, we're good. So

26:07

I guess Peyton was deemed trustworthy after

26:09

all. Oh yeah, yeah, she's actually been surprisingly

26:12

helpful. She gave up in a bunch of information and

26:14

then these rounds. Right,

26:17

yeah, she made the snake disappear

26:19

with a protection room. So we thought we'd contribute

26:21

to the cause by by carving more runs.

26:24

Yep, I'm all aboard. So

26:27

what is it birch and beech trees or what we're aiming

26:29

for? Right? And pine? Sure?

26:32

Sure, pine, as long as

26:34

it's not hickory. Yeah,

26:36

impressive. This isn't my first time

26:38

carving protective runs, if you can believe it,

26:41

But this might be the first time that I'll be doing

26:43

so with complete confidence that they actually

26:46

work. Because you still haven't

26:48

tested the one I taught you have

26:50

you Well, we hope

26:53

this will work. Just because Peyton did it right doesn't mean

26:55

we'll be able to can I see? Sure?

27:00

Thanks? Uh?

27:03

Huh m. These

27:06

look good, though, I think

27:08

maybe she didn't finish this one. See

27:11

here, these lines are supposed

27:13

to connect. Do you have a pen? Yeah?

27:16

Yeah, here you go? Oh thank you? See

27:21

like that? Without those lines, I

27:23

think this would be the room for separation,

27:27

which I have been feeling is not our aim. Here.

27:29

Oh good catch? Then, yeah,

27:31

I guess I'm cheating

27:33

a bit. I actually have a tattoo

27:35

of this room. No shit, Wow,

27:38

wow, you really are committed

27:41

figure. It can't hurt to be protected at all times.

27:43

So this works on individuals as well,

27:45

that's the hope. Another room from

27:47

that conference friend, But like the hand sign,

27:50

it has gone untested. Oh

27:53

oh, now I'm realizing

27:55

maybe the tattoo is why I've never

27:57

had an encounter before. Well,

27:59

I hate to take away your hope of seeing a

28:01

monster even more, but we should probably get

28:04

to carving these rooms. Now. You're right, no

28:07

more dead campers is the most important thing.

28:09

Oh, I can go first. Huh, this birch

28:12

tree should work? Wait, are you sure Oh,

28:14

she's just gonna go for it. Okay, Now

28:17

I should just say we probably shouldn't expect anything to happen

28:19

right away. We're not actually banishing

28:21

anything to the other realm, and I imagine

28:23

that we need a bunch of these

28:25

before anything actually starts. What

28:29

was that? Maybe something sealing

28:32

up or maybe there was something here and it just

28:34

does you feel this? What? What? Holy shith

28:36

my god? Ron ron ron?

28:39

What he is that? H

28:41

yeah, I think we found your jersey, teb. I think

28:43

get both more like it's poor fuck?

28:45

What is that? Oh my god,

28:48

it's definitely a thunder. I

28:52

can't see any take it the fuck away?

28:54

Many way to many?

28:58

What is it? What is it? What is it? Be? Center

29:01

down? Shit? Whoa

29:03

at the Jeremy's well, I think it's

29:05

working. I feel

29:07

oh my god, oh

29:10

my god, I worked her. Shit,

29:13

shit it sort of worked. Oh hold

29:15

on, come on, let's get away while the cab wait, wait

29:17

this way, this way. I have a friend's house

29:19

over here. It's just past the ones where we can hide

29:22

that. Come on after faster there

29:25

stop, that's our house. Let's

29:28

go. Oh

29:32

shit, fuck, I forgot she's

29:34

a she's a Shelly's which

29:37

she's not. It's okay. There's a key

29:39

somewhere here, this is here, it is I got it, I got it, I

29:41

got it. Shit.

29:44

Hold on a second. Okay, god,

29:46

there in in in okay?

29:51

Oh my god? Fuck? Shit?

29:54

Is everyone okay? Yeah?

29:57

I think so? You okay? Oh

30:01

my god, I

30:05

think we're safe. Oh
