you smiled from his regular spot in the arm chair.
2:16
An analyst. There was
2:18
relaxing on the arm of said lawsuit. Then
2:21
I get a good look at where the others were bought,
2:24
detective had us all together as captive
2:26
audience. I mean
2:28
that quite literally. We were kept
2:30
his here. This group
2:32
meeting was hardly volunteer of and.
2:36
We fought tooth and nail every step of the way. We
2:39
first saw the detective when we sell clothing
2:41
and realized he wasn't a real voice darkness
2:44
when. quick to dismiss just further extension
2:46
of the game we collectively lost our tenuous

3:06
I'm not going to even pretend. I
3:08
i tried anything, Valiant the
3:10
moment. I sound, take a bullet without reacting, I
3:12
decided not waste energy. Detective
3:15
pocket is watch smiled sinisterly
3:17
inside, but
3:27
I'd like to simplify things. Here's
3:30
what I solve
3:32
the mystery before. Proposal.
3:37
a How about you
3:39
go? Fuc yourself another
3:42
mouthful of blood out of the puddle on the floor and

3:57
Spirits were still intact even
3:59
though pants.
4:00
This may sound like he was trying to say
4:02
thousand yen a lot of fun this guy
4:04
doesn't deserve it, but we all know what
4:06
he meant. I'll the my
4:08
hand and said. I
4:10
second that proposal. More
4:12
time done. They're at it. It's

4:34
a few hints There

The returned almost immediately a bottle
4:59
in one hand and glass the other.
5:01
Given the circumstances, I don't think any of us
5:03
who blame of getting this drink on. The
5:06
even if that was a truly counterproductive
5:08
measure, the take. Jerry Spat,
5:10
on another mouthful of blood, took poll
5:12
directly from the bottle in Winston Pain. The

Clara done the me who's? in overdrive
11:01
now My mind was
11:03
wide open and. hopes
11:06
would start screaming into it
11:11
He tried so hard to be a good mother
11:14
she, wrestles with his demon for years.
11:17
she built wall around the truth
11:19
because that was the only way she could survive
11:21
A perfect wolfgang
11:24
or scenes.
11:28
And wasn't his fault. There
11:30
was nothing she could do to make him better so.
11:33
she did the next best thing The
11:35
protected him. The
11:38
evidence for graphic drawings, the
11:40
animal bodies. The true.
11:44
The choice was her.
11:48
He didn't truly understand what choice was
11:50
until this moment for, all
11:52
choice was truly taken away, has
11:55
almost. release there
11:58
was a kindness and failure
12:00
That was a mercy know.
12:03
she didn't have to pretend She
12:05
done or bees.
12:07
And finally she.
12:09
was allowed to rest She's
12:11
suffering. Why don't
12:14
we just? Then
12:16
you know what? I
12:18
mean. Not like it matters.
12:21
The to see her again when the whole thing
12:23
repeats. Photos
12:26
grew wide as a surge of terror went through my
12:28
body like electricity. And
12:30
lasting she heard before consciousness laughter
12:34
the. final lingering side and this poor
12:36
woman's mind was that would seem
12:38
reality She
12:41
wasn't free from anything. She
12:44
was to prisoner. The
12:47
idea was too much to bear I,
12:50
almost screamed for. the
12:53
theist and she died at seventy connection
12:55
and i came up gas
12:58
There was no sadness left in me only.
13:01
pity and angers i wipe the tears
13:03
my face and sat someone
13:05
help someone find that kid so kid can fucking
13:07
kill him Not worth it
13:10
to buy a sad as he helped his wife to her seat.
13:12
Why not?
13:15
I mean, to produce, can keep dying and repeating pattern
13:17
over and over what's the point of saving time anyway.
13:20
have a theory about that. We
13:22
all remember dying, right? We
13:25
also remember other things. impossible
13:27
things.
13:29
The movie "impossible" and whatever is
13:31
left no matter how improbable.
13:34
Must be the truth. Okay,
13:36
I'll bite. What's last?
13:39
My memories are fake. The
13:41
memory isn't some a serial
13:43
concept like soul know.
13:46
The physical manifestation. The
13:49
chemical process caused by amino acid
13:51
chains within our brains. Find
13:53
way to alter that process. You
13:56
can convince someone that they experience something
13:58
they didn't. Or? You
14:00
could make them believe something didn't happen. When
14:03
it did. Picked up his threat
14:05
and ran with it.
14:06
You're implying that somebody got us all here
14:09
together and implanted the last
14:12
few days. That we've been
14:14
tricked into thinking we can't leave
14:16
and we can't die.
14:19
Why?
14:20
He leaned against the table, put a hand, was ten
14:22
and stared at the floor for long, uncomfortable
14:24
moments for responding.
14:28
It
14:32
might be worse than that.
14:34
If we're all victims of implanted memories,
14:37
the damage could go way beyond just the short
14:39
term last few days. Not
14:42
a single moment before now. The
14:45
be trusted.
14:46
The whole looked around the room, causing
14:48
the of each of us a few seconds of icon pack,
14:51
then he asked, "Do any of you have any memories
14:53
before today that would objective Lee be considered
14:55
impossible?"
14:57
Anything that doesn't make sense based on
14:59
our understanding Universe I
15:01
looked at She
15:03
was already looking at me. I
15:06
heard words without seeing her lips move. don't
15:09
tell him about me
15:12
Why not? I
15:13
I thought, because He
15:17
would kill and dissect me if
15:20
he got the chance.
15:23
No, I lied.
15:26
Nothing comes to my immediate recollection.
15:29
Lauren
15:30
added, nothing too, out of ordinary
15:32
for us either Samesies.
15:34
I'm just a old Instagram
15:36
model with 6 million followers. Well
15:38
before
15:41
wised-up, what's playing on Tobias
15:44
crossed his arms. The
15:46
most important thing we can do now is contact
15:48
the outside world. I
15:50
I can build a crude signal booster for our cell
15:52
phones, but I need some equipment. We
15:55
probably find everything we need in the kitchen, but
15:57
according to memories. The
16:00
kitchen's booby trapped. So
16:03
what are we do? We go to
16:05
the kitchen", he answered with a smile, "Save
16:07
my theory is correct that memory was just device
16:09
to keep us out of the off limits areas"
16:12
My theory is wrong. The know right
16:14
away when the room starts to fill with water,
16:16
you'll never believe that, but turns
16:18
out. The story was wrong.
16:22
On the bright side, he was the only one
16:24
to drown this time.
16:26
We. Try blocking the door open with a couple of chairs
16:28
before he went in on his own, but when the
16:30
door automatically slam shut, it's like to the
16:32
furniture like guillotine. Too hot but he,
16:35
said on the safe side of the kitchen door trying to communicate
16:38
uses veins, he is zero
16:40
both moon was coast, person
16:43
buys into. the center an
16:46
hour later the thing craft The
16:48
try to give Bridger chance to mourn we'd
16:51
already wasted so much time.
16:53
As soon as she seemed up to answering Lauren
16:56
gently began Bridgette I.
16:58
need to ask you ask few things
17:00
The sitting adhere by the fire shaking,
17:03
staring data heard clearly traumatized
17:05
Bird Sanctuary and just communicative enough.
17:08
I always do something like this for
17:10
him. What does that mean? Korean
17:13
Bridget glass alcohol still for golf
17:15
and sad it's least. knew
17:18
they would get him eventually. Who's
17:21
Lisa? You mean
17:23
you really don't know? What?
17:27
Maybe that's what have this. Maybe
17:31
you were often the Institute. That
17:33
you would think yours.
17:35
Seeing if we'd break and give
17:37
away the secrets.
17:39
That's on a big missing piece of the puzzle
17:41
finally clicked into place. Lisa
17:44
wasn't who. The what?
17:47
Well, I say the acronym for
17:49
some shadowy organization that Tobias
17:51
apparently worked for. knew
17:54
he wasn't just some lowly business consultant
17:57
with a working knowledge of bombs, maddox and morse
17:59
code. They
18:01
took another drink.
18:03
He's been with them since before we
18:05
ever started dating. That
18:08
I knew something was wrong. He
18:10
talked in his sleep. The
18:13
left, keep us out. Amy
18:15
is open. don't
18:18
know the full extent. Then
18:20
knew enough to understand. What
18:23
my husband really did for on a thing.
18:26
Prize or read and puffy tears welling
18:28
up buying a weakening damn. The
18:31
bias was good man. Many
18:34
worked for some very powerful people.
18:38
Oh, I know. The
18:41
way. They're took respondents
18:43
Lauren for in front of Bridget Lean
18:45
down and said Liar Bridget.
18:48
looked at her and shock loot

19:10
else something that
19:12
almost,. sounded like plastic
19:17
and then she took her hands away in revealed
19:19
the huge grin on her face so
19:21

19:24
you have any idea?
19:27
How long I've been here?
19:28
"The not in I'm not around don't merely

19:35
for that performance. couldn't
19:37
believe the transformation. Can
19:40
we have ever felt sorry for?
19:43
What the hell is going on? Where's
19:46
your point to declare? Why don't you
19:48
ask the psychic?
19:50
The up to no more. police

20:27
She's a pretty,
20:29

20:31
It's a little more complicated than that,
20:33
but yes. I
20:36
think you have the gist of it. Tobias
20:39
was my ass.
20:39
And he. may very well be the
20:42

be fine if we cook and wellness I.
30:28
meant leaving the great hall
30:30
How about we put it to a vote more and
30:32
suggested all in favor of going

When we reach the Woodrow Harper Sweet Jury.

32:31
The fire poker resting over his shoulder

33:01
He muttered under his breath before rushing and side.

Get the fire poker extended making lightsaber

from the. ceiling the room didn't start
33:18
filling with sand and the door didn't slam
33:20
shut of it's own accord It
33:23
appeared as if we were safe. For
33:25
now. It
33:28
looked around and commented. Your room

period already picked out most the amounts
33:53
But if could stave off hunger for even a few more minutes,
33:55
I take what can get.
33:58
Then quite suddenly another thing. occurred to me. There's
34:02
pants on the floor by the shower. That
34:05
wasn't my, you must. No.
34:08
He carried him back, I'm in a room when we grabbed the stun

enough, is some gun was still there? The
34:20
more importantly. Come

I barely managed to fall back in time to miss a direct
34:50
hit to the fee Wolfgang.
34:53
and found himself new weapon The
34:55
ball decision that was going to cost them dearly. The
34:58
wasn't to practice with this one. Then,
35:00
as soon as swing mess, he lost his balance and at
35:02
the floor.
35:05
Hooking up to handle on pulled, but it wasn't strong
35:07
enough to wrestle with me. The
35:10
next go to move as a desperate charge towards the door,

cursing thrashers receiving
35:54
himself over and over about how much we hated
35:56
open heart is gonna cut our faces off
35:58
and gotta say
36:01
He was an annoying little shit sand
36:03
and object of a terrible person.
36:06
It is also still a kid. That
36:08
has absolutely no pleasure in what
36:10
I was mostly this series,
36:13
or the weapon in my hand the look on my face,
36:15
whoa dude of overcoming for
36:18
hand of us, over Zealand
36:20
oh wasn't going. to kill him walking

36:25
is an unusual note of concern and Jerry's
36:28
voice. Well,
36:30
what are you gonna do? That
36:33
whisper back on.
36:39
Oh. The
36:42
took a little convincing but Jerry managed to at the
36:44
rest of them out of their I, locked
36:46
the door behind us. now is
36:49
just me and wolfgang I
36:51
took a seat on the ground next where you still struggling
36:53
to break free. The noble,
36:55
by futile effort from broken body.
36:58
There's blood pooling around his neck and smelled
37:00
like you probably pissed himself, I'm not fucking
37:03
afraid of you said rather menacingly
37:05
for someone and as to eat. I
37:08
know. How did you hear
37:10
were? took my time to any noise or it's.
37:13
They're the acts and my lap. them
37:15
all the weapons walking could have chosen to
37:17
work with this.
37:19
If he jumped out of me with a knife or molotov
37:22
cocktail or even sharp Harris's
37:25
I, probably wouldn't be having this conversation
37:27
But he'd overestimated his own ability
37:31
lucky. me You
37:33
gonna live the longest have any of a seven year.
37:36
Right?
37:37
Try to move his head with me in the eyes further
37:39
south in his neck locked in place. I
37:42
didn't think it. The US
37:44
had a couple hours the first night. Who
37:47
knows how long you really made it after
37:49
the squirrels got your mom? And
37:51
then what?
37:53
How did you stay alive inside the house by yourself
37:55
after Code got the rest of us? I'm
37:58
just sayin'. You've probably
38:00
been hunting for a while now. Learning
38:03
lot of energy. The
38:05
new never even got to eat dinner. Stop
38:09
talking to me. I took a handful
38:11
trail mix my jacket pocket. This
38:13
would have been my portion about wants to
38:15
fool vague most. raisins The
38:19
net and sent and for Christmas
38:21
dinner I,
38:23
put it all into pile in front of Walking Says,
38:26
right where he had to look at, it so
38:29
soon as it is. it's millet possibly
38:32
far I could
38:34
feel his hunger. From
38:36
process. He struggled
38:38
a move, but broken bone seldom still.
38:42
He screamed and stressed out of town for,
38:45
food with stay there just started
38:47
wait. until he bled out
38:49
or starve to death
38:52
The climax my seat western well
38:54
I went to junior this whole was hoping
38:57
the door be enough to muscles sprints
39:01
in. the eyes which i took his proof that
39:03
she knew what i'd done
39:05
Sure he took the extra me and said softly dude
39:08
why, don't you just let me go in there and you
39:10
know finish them off? isn't
39:12
even a big deal life is meaningless
39:15
remember The nap,
39:17
do it like this. But I did.
39:20
needed Wolfgang to hate me.
39:23
I needed him absolutely blindingly
39:26
serious me.
39:28
I needed his hatred of me to overcome his senses
39:30
so that when he died. When
39:32
he came back. The only
39:34
thing I could think of was revenge.
39:37
That. Was the only way we could save hope Tobias,
39:41
took charge and change the subject, I
39:44
think we can take years experience as evidence that
39:46
bedrooms aren't trap rooms might.
39:49
Be a good idea to continue searching for, supplies
39:52
maybe there's something and hope sweet we can use to get
39:54
out of, this mess I was already headed.
39:56
for the stairs what
39:58
are we waiting for them
40:07
Hopefully with him better than ours, that
40:10
I was jealous or anything. Sounded
40:12
interesting.
40:14
There's. Plenty of space explore Tobias,
40:17
I'm Bridget serve rating the kitchenette this
40:19
asustek to walk in closet very
40:21
want to the bathroom, I went straight
40:23
for the bedroom and phone. Exactly what was looking for right,
40:26
away my backpack was
40:28
sitting on was mattress like it was waiting, for me
40:31
waiting unzipped it and hastily throw everything or. under
40:33
the ground he was all their to
40:35
