Welcome to Escape This

0:03

Podcast, a show that's a

0:05

mix between tabletop role-playing and

0:07

escape room

0:20

puzzles. This is the 10th

0:22

episode of season 13, because

0:25

we've been doing this for quite a while.

0:28

It's right near the end of the year. It is

0:30

right near the end of the year. And you know what that means? It

0:33

means that I've stopped working. No,

0:36

you're working hard on the Christmas ring.

0:39

This episode, we have something that we've done once before. We're

0:42

trying to clear our backlog of people who've

0:44

contacted us about rooms that they wanted to

0:46

run or that they wanted us to run.

0:49

And so a little while ago, I ran a room

0:51

for you, Dani, which a fan had

0:53

sent in, you know, three years ago.

0:56

Oh yeah? Do you know what else happened three years ago? What's that? Three

0:58

different fans sent in a different room for us to

1:01

run. So I'm going to run that one. Not oh

1:03

no as in, oh no, I don't want to be getting these.

1:05

Oh no as in, please don't tell

1:07

me. It's been three years. It has been.

1:09

It was sent in, it was sent in on

1:11

the 10th of, it's

1:13

been almost four years. It was sent in

1:16

in January 2020. That's

1:18

embarrassing. And we never did

1:21

it. So if you don't think that we're

1:23

replying to you, if you've emailed us at

1:25

any point, yeah, this is what happens. We're

1:27

just, we're just bad at our jobs. If you

1:29

think we're bad at our jobs, you're right. This

1:31

room was written by a fan of the show,

1:33

Megan Forsterfel. Or Megan. Or

1:36

Megan. We've been discussing how universal

1:38

these pronunciations are. I'm so sorry,

1:40

but I'm going to say Megan Forsterfel.

1:43

Yeah, we always pronounce it Megan here. And

1:46

I'm very excited to run it. I've had a read through it. I've had a

1:48

look through. I'd made a couple of

1:50

tiny tweaks. Just like not so much tweaks,

1:52

just like wording changes and things. Yeah, things

1:55

that I'm sure that if Megan was running

1:57

it herself, she would do, but

1:59

with just not fully clear to me. So it's

2:01

mostly notes to myself of like, this is this and

2:03

add a little word here that I'm sure was already

2:06

in actual original runnings of the room. And

2:08

I did a slight change of some art for the final.

2:12

I did some new art. And so I've, I

2:14

made that myself. We're always looking for an excuse to

2:16

do more art. It's not good art. So not

2:19

really. Last time you

2:22

did this by yourself. You played the room alone.

2:24

Oh wow. The time before that we had a guest

2:26

join you and we're going to

2:28

bring a guest on again. So we have a returning

2:31

guest. You don't have faith in me to do this. I have

2:33

no faith in you. Yeah, this is fair. But I have

2:35

all of my faith in Matt Yule.

2:37

Welcome Matt. Oh, hey,

2:39

hey, how's it going everybody? Thank you for having me.

2:41

Long time no see. Yeah, long

2:43

time no see hardly. It's been so long.

2:45

It's been a couple of weeks. Welcome

2:49

back to the show. Now, obviously mostly you

2:51

come on this show with Chris

2:53

Yule, with your brother as part of Finish It as

2:55

a podcast. That's right. And

2:58

I don't even think I need to ask you to

3:00

explain what Finish It is for people at home. I'm

3:03

sure they've heard you many times on the show, but maybe give

3:05

a quick rundown for anyone who's this is their first episode. Okay,

3:08

yeah, cool. So me and my brother read interactive

3:10

fiction books like Choose Your Adventures, that kind of

3:12

stuff. We each read a book once a week

3:14

and then we tell each other our stories. And

3:17

that means it takes forever and ever to read

3:19

the whole thing because we're reading every single page

3:21

and missing nothing. And we kind of get a

3:23

little mad by the

3:25

end. And it's a good time for

3:27

time, the segments and quizzes and goofy

3:29

songs. Yeah, it is a very, very

3:31

good show. It's great. And recommend everyone

3:33

start from the beginning. It gives you the

3:36

full descent into the madness of it all.

3:38

But also it's just very funny. I

3:40

mean, re-listen to episode one. It's a good

3:42

first episode of a podcast. There

3:44

you go. Minus segments and quizzes and stuff. That's true.

3:47

That takes a bit to get going. But keep dumbing

3:49

and being dumb for sure. So every episode,

3:52

we have the same questions for our guests,

3:54

which is weird because then you've been on

3:56

every episode and Matt, we've asked you these questions a

3:58

hundred times. But we'll, we'll, we'll. cover any

4:00

fun little differences which is it's an

4:03

escape room show let's have some updates

4:05

on your escape room experience and

4:07

the big update is Danny and

4:09

I and Matt have done some physical

4:12

escape rooms together have we not recorded

4:15

since we did that no recordings please don't

4:17

announce sure oh my god yeah we

4:20

do a couple rooms here in Portland it was super

4:22

duper fun in search of an

4:24

exit is that their form absolutely fantastic

4:27

escape rooms world-class escape rooms in Portland

4:29

it was so much fun had

4:31

you done I can't remember had you done

4:33

physical escape rooms I think one

4:36

you done one with my wife and

4:38

her family hmm that

4:40

was it well you know now you've

4:42

done two more with us yes yeah

4:44

I'm assuming you've gone out since then

4:46

and done 800 more all across America

4:48

exactly correct I traveled the country

4:50

the last couple weeks do

4:53

nothing but escape room just escaping rooms yeah

4:55

your family's call you this Thanksgiving where are

4:57

you I'm in New York today yeah

4:59

I don't talk to your mom wonderful and then the

5:01

other element

5:11

of the show is it's escape rooms makes a

5:13

tabletop role playing do we have any fun updates

5:15

to our tabletop role playing experience that we wanted

5:18

to share with the world we've

5:20

played one session of D&D we did play a session of

5:23

D&D the other day with some friends that's about it you

5:25

were a fighter who was not

5:28

so successful in a local fighting championship

5:30

and I was your coach perpetual fourth-placer

5:34

I finally got to play a character I'd always

5:36

wanted to play which was a bard but in

5:39

in universe never does any music there's no music

5:41

to the bard all of my like bardic inspiration

5:43

is in the form of a rocky style coach

5:45

be like come on get in there kid you

5:47

gotta duck and weave get underneath him and

5:51

that was it there's a play that character for session which is

5:53

great fun how about

5:55

you Matt I don't think I've done too much

5:57

we Chris night why I've streamed one time playing

5:59

boulders three but I don't really think

6:01

that counts exactly. We're kind of gearing

6:03

up to do something but not till

6:06

January and that's at this bar in

6:08

our in my neighborhood that has

6:10

Dungeon Masters in the bar and they can run

6:12

games with you and stuff it's pretty neat. A place

6:14

called Total Party Kill Brewery they even have themed

6:17

beers for events and their games pretty

6:19

nuts. It's super cool that

6:21

exists. You literally go and

6:24

you made it in a tavern. It's true

6:26

and it used to be a bakery so there's

6:28

a huge like oven that doesn't

6:30

work right now but it

6:32

looks like it like a for real like Dungeons Dragons

6:34

tavern it's pretty great. That's wonderful.

6:37

With that all said and done I think we're good to start

6:39

the episode and usually this is why I say Danny take it

6:41

away but I have to take it away which is oh yeah.

6:43

Oh I felt ridiculous coming into

6:45

this recording knowing we were doing this

6:47

today just going I have

6:50

nothing to prepare this is

6:53

unsettling. Alright now I have

6:55

I have two notes one from

6:57

the author of the room. Great.

6:59

One from me. The note from the author of the

7:02

room is there are some items in

7:04

this room with there are like multiple

7:06

clues or multiple ways to interact with the

7:08

items. Okay. So don't necessarily

7:11

think if I've done one thing with something we

7:13

won't throw it away. Every possible thing. And my

7:15

note is I didn't write this room so if

7:17

I get incredibly confused and tell you the wrong

7:19

things you'll have to forgive me. I've done I've

7:21

read through it I've done my best but sometimes

7:24

it's tough when you when you haven't written it

7:26

yourself. Oh yeah. As I'm sure a lot of

7:28

our listeners know when they try and run. I

7:31

can only imagine. Okay

7:33

here we are. This

7:35

is the room Bluffers Point

7:38

lighthouse. It

7:40

feels like you've been on this boat for ages. Why

7:43

did you agree to take on a case with

7:46

the Coast Guard? You hate sea travel but

7:48

they're paying you pretty well. You just

7:50

hope you'll be on land again soon. So

7:53

you say that the friendlier of your two

7:56

Coast Guard escorts got a debrief

7:58

of the case for me? Well,

8:00

he says, the light went out a

8:02

few weeks ago, but Captain Feldman stopped

8:04

responding to our radio communications at least

8:07

a month ago. We sent

8:09

someone out to check on him, but he was nowhere

8:11

to be found. Nowhere?

8:13

There wasn't a note or anything he

8:16

left behind? Nope. Not a

8:18

trace. Oh, that

8:20

doesn't sound like Captain Feldman at all. He

8:23

had only gotten the position a few years ago, but

8:25

you've hung around enough fishermen to know he'd become a

8:27

bit of a celebrity among the sailors of Maine. A

8:31

bit of awkward silence follows, until

8:33

your other escort says, Looks like

8:35

a nasty storm is on its way. I'm

8:38

not from Maine. I'm from a different

8:40

place. You

8:42

look over your shoulder. He's not kidding.

8:44

Vicious grey clouds have pushed their way

8:46

over the horizon. You hadn't noticed

8:49

them before. They blended in with the choppy waters.

8:52

You hold a hand over your mouth, trying to keep

8:54

your stomach settled through the jostling ride. That sounds like

8:56

me. Not a moment too

8:58

soon. You see a lighthouse appear out of

9:00

the fog, and you hear the waves crashing

9:02

on rocks. It's not the most

9:04

welcoming sight, but you'll take anything that will get you off

9:06

this boat. As you step off

9:09

onto the rocky shore, your escorts have already started to

9:11

push off. Sorry, man, one

9:13

says as you look back at them. We can't stay

9:16

and wait for you to be done inspecting this place.

9:18

We need to get back before we get caught in that

9:20

storm. Just dial in to the

9:23

Coast Guard radio station when you're done. I'm

9:25

sure Captain Feldman has, or had, won.

9:30

Radio? Yes. Good

9:33

luck, the other says. You watch

9:35

their boats sway off into the distance. You

9:37

clamber up the rocky shore covered in

9:39

a slimy film of algae and seaweed,

9:41

careful not to slip. You

9:44

quickly find yourself at the base of

9:46

the Bluffers Point lighthouse. You

9:49

step inside, eager to escape the

9:51

biting wind, and find yourself on a stone

9:53

brick landing with a large

9:55

fancy three carved into it.

9:58

Oh. Where is this? three

10:00

carved into like the wall. Yeah. So

10:02

it's like you've walked into you stepped into the

10:04

building and I'm going to say at your feet.

10:07

OK. The stone sort of entryway that you're standing

10:09

on. Should I start drawing? The big fancy three.

10:12

Please draw yourself a circular lighthouse building.

10:15

A circle. Ridiculous. I know. But you can make

10:17

it a square lighthouse if you want. How

10:19

do you even draw a door and a circle wall? You

10:22

just build it. There's

10:25

a bunch of open wooden stairs

10:27

directly in front of you. It's a

10:29

fairly narrow staircase. To

10:31

go around around or is it just go around and around?

10:33

Yeah, make it go around and around. No, this

10:36

is not drawable. What do

10:38

you mean it's not drawable? You draw a line next

10:40

to the wall and then you put lots of horizontal

10:42

lines. Next to a wall? Yeah. Make it just like

10:44

spiral up or something. You said right in front of

10:46

me. I'm doing it. It's a question mark. Perfect. As

10:50

you're taking in your surroundings, a strong

10:52

gust blows by and the door slams

10:54

behind you, sending the whole

10:57

place into a gray darkness. Typical. You

11:00

might be stuck here a while, but at

11:02

least on solid land. Finally, you

11:05

suppose there's no better time than now to get started on

11:07

the case? Oh,

11:09

that's all we've got. We've just got a staircase and

11:11

three. And the door and

11:13

I suppose the walls themselves. Oh,

11:15

wild. I mean, looking

11:18

for a missing man. There

11:20

are any missing man signs that we can see? Anything

11:22

that looks like a good place to start? Like

11:25

what if there was a shoe? Maybe it was that guy's

11:27

shoe. Is there a shoe? There's

11:29

no shoe. I had a feeling there was no

11:31

shoe. Ha ha ha. Listeners at

11:34

home, they didn't ask about whether there were any socks.

11:40

Is there anything on the door that's slammed behind this?

11:43

It's a sturdy wooden door. Definitely

11:45

made strong. You can see

11:47

from the light pouring in around the edges

11:50

that the door is pulled slightly

11:52

past the archway. It's jammed. Definitely.

11:54

You can't open it by hand.

11:57

Oh no. Pizz

11:59

busting. door as they say in main. Is

12:03

that the thing they say in main? Yeah, those main

12:05

landers. I

12:08

didn't mention this at the start. Do we

12:10

also need to acknowledge in any way the

12:12

fact that we were clearly brought here by

12:14

pirates impersonating the coast guard? Do

12:17

you think that's relevant? I'm

12:22

sure it was the actual real coast guard. Okay,

12:24

is there anything interesting about this three? I'm

12:26

pretty into this three. It's

12:30

like a big three. It's kind of

12:32

boxy and very fancily carved. Oh, okay.

12:36

Interesting. It feels like we're not

12:38

being left with much choice but to go upstairs. Yeah,

12:40

I think maybe we should go upstairs. You go

12:42

up the narrow stairs. They spiral

12:44

away to the top of the lighthouse.

12:48

It's pretty dark in this entryway, but the

12:50

narrow stairway makes it fairly easy to navigate.

12:53

You put your hands against the wall to keep yourself steady and

12:55

make your way to the top. Along

12:58

the way, you feel your hands passing

13:00

through lines of water dripping down stone

13:02

bricks. You make it to

13:04

the top and find yourself inside the

13:06

lighthouse. It's a

13:08

circular room. The floor

13:10

has a large pattern around it. Almost

13:14

all of the wall consists of windows,

13:17

except there's a small section made of

13:19

stone bricks directly across the

13:21

room from you. So probably on the north

13:23

side. How funny. On

13:26

the left side of that wall section, there

13:29

is a door inset. Oh, okay.

13:32

To the right of that door, there

13:35

is a dresser with drawers. On

13:38

top of that chest of drawers, there is a mirror

13:40

and a radio. Further

13:43

to the right of that dresser, there

13:45

is a bed. And

13:47

then a little bit in from where the bed

13:49

is, there is a pair of chairs and a

13:52

table as well as a small fridge. On

13:56

the opposite side, so I'm assuming this is

13:58

sort of the western side. side of the room, opposite

14:01

where the bed and fridge and stuff has all ended up.

14:04

On the opposite side is a desk covered in

14:06

papers and a desk lamp. And

14:10

in the middle of the room is

14:12

a great cylinder that houses the

14:14

giant light bulb. Oh yeah, I didn't really

14:16

leave room for that. That makes sense. There

14:19

is a small panel of levers that sits

14:21

just in front of that light bulb facing

14:23

you. The room seems to

14:26

have acted as Captain Feldman's living quarters as

14:28

well as his office. So

14:30

there you are. Feel free to investigate. Yeah, we've got a lot

14:32

of stuff now. Yeah, we do. Do

14:34

you want to start with the desk? Makes sense.

14:36

Yeah, desk had papers on it. Papers are usually

14:38

a good start. So it's an old wooden

14:40

desk. It's probably been here for ages. There's

14:42

a bunch of scattered papers on it. The

14:45

only space not covered in scattered papers is covered

14:47

by a desk lamp. There's also

14:49

a simple desk drawer with an old brass

14:52

handle. There's a lamp on it.

14:54

So this is a strange lamp for Captain

14:56

Feldman to have. It's one of those lamps

14:58

that has bendable posts. So

15:00

you could position it in sort

15:03

of any way you want. The lamp

15:05

has two shades. It has two kind of

15:07

lamp sections to it. But

15:09

neither is pointed at the desk itself.

15:12

Instead, they're pointing directly opposite each

15:14

other, parallel to the desk

15:16

surface, with one side pointed sort

15:18

of straight to the north wall. Are

15:22

they honourable? They are honourable. Nothing

15:24

happens when you turn them on. But

15:26

we now are a little bit more on the light than we were. I

15:29

suppose that's true. That's helpful. That's

15:31

nice. Are they shining on anything to the

15:33

north or south? You examine where they're hitting

15:35

the wall to the north. And

15:38

there's nothing notable that this lamp illuminates.

15:41

Hm. A mysterious lamp. And

15:44

these papers? So they're all

15:46

covered in sketches. But it's a bit confusing

15:48

and all over the place. You

15:51

can't quite tell what they're supposed to be.

15:54

Which one is labelled with a date in the

15:56

top corner? One

15:59

says February... 4th, another

16:01

March 2nd, then

16:04

January 9th. Then

16:07

they start to get weird. There's

16:10

an August zeroth. Oh

16:12

no, that ruins any plans I

16:14

have. November negative seconds,

16:18

May negative third, December

16:22

negative fifth, September

16:25

negative eighth. And

16:28

two of them simply say

16:30

Wednesday and Thursday. No

16:34

numbers for them? No numbers. Oh no.

16:37

Well yeah, that seemed like it was starting

16:39

out very normal and reasonable and then went

16:41

wild. Does that mean anything

16:43

to you? It does not. I

16:46

was going, great, 4th letter of February, 2nd letter

16:48

of March, January, I don't know if it's got nine

16:50

letters yet, we'll get to that. And now it looks

16:52

like there was no need to get to that. Nothing.

16:56

Anything about the sketches or nothing

16:59

much to make of them yet. If

17:02

you knew more about them, maybe you might be able to

17:04

get them in a sense that makes them seem

17:06

reasonable, but for now they don't seem to make a huge amount of

17:08

sense. So

17:11

far this desk has been a big old bust, but

17:13

there is a draw. Let's

17:15

find out for sure before we're truly disappointed. So

17:19

you open the draw? Or you at least

17:22

try to open the draw. You grab the handle,

17:24

give it a pull, and it opens. There's a

17:26

nasty scratch along the bottom of the draw. From

17:29

edge to edge, it's

17:31

pretty jagged, occasionally wandering

17:33

up, sometimes dipping down.

17:36

There's also something golden on a

17:38

chain in here. It could be

17:40

a pocket watch. It's

17:42

sitting on top of a notebook, maybe

17:44

used as a diary with

17:46

the initials JB on it. JB?

17:49

I don't know who that is. How

17:52

many names does Captain Feldman have? I

17:55

mean at least one. It's Captain Feldman.

18:00

the shiny thing? Yeah, you can grab

18:02

it. What is it? Have a look at it,

18:04

you try and open it up. Okay, no,

18:06

this is a, it's a compass. Okay.

18:08

A simple gold compass. But

18:11

it doesn't seem to have a pointer

18:13

on it. Oh. Just the directions painted

18:15

around it, each painted in a little

18:17

triangle. There's a series of triangles going

18:19

around a central ring. And you

18:22

see them, or the directions painted on it. It

18:25

also has the initials JB on the back. Okay.

18:29

Does it look like there should be a pointer on it that

18:31

I could click in at any point or is it just like

18:34

it wasn't part of the design? Almost looks like it wasn't

18:36

part of the design. Okay. Useless.

18:38

Junk. You said there's a

18:40

diary in there? There is. We

18:42

should totally read this JB's diary. Are

18:44

you sure that's not intrusive? It

18:46

is intrusive, but we're investigators so it's allowed. That's

18:48

what we do. It looks

18:50

pretty worn and loved. The

18:53

cover looks like it could come apart at

18:55

any moment. The rest looks

18:58

fairly well kept and legible, however. Can

19:01

we keep reading it? Yeah. So you open it

19:03

up and read through and there's a lot of entries in this

19:05

diary and a lot of strange

19:07

looking entries. There's scribbles

19:10

and scratches and sketches and a whole

19:12

bunch of things. The pages are numbered.

19:14

Some of them appear like they've been

19:16

ripped out, but

19:19

without knowing exactly what you're looking for in this diary,

19:21

it's going to be hard to make sense of it.

19:23

Say no more. Are they

19:25

the same size pages as the papers on the

19:27

desk? Were they ripped out of this and? They

19:30

don't seem to match the sketches on

19:32

the desk. Mysterious. Does the handwriting match

19:34

the sketching on the desk and the dates

19:36

and things that we see there? Yes.

19:40

Yes, it does. I mean, to the best

19:42

of your understanding, you didn't

19:44

finish your class in handwriting analysis

19:47

because while you were in

19:49

forensic class, they debunked the concept of

19:51

handwriting analysis and so you sort of

19:54

stopped turning up to classes. You

19:56

did technically get a passing grade, but only because you've done so

19:58

well in your initial. assessments but

20:00

it's been 15 years since you were at the academy

20:02

anyway. But we did go we got good grades though.

20:05

Oh other than that yeah you did quite

20:07

well yeah. Sweet. Oh well that changes everything.

20:12

Do we need to take a look at these buttons?

20:14

I don't have much else drawn on the left of

20:17

my image so it feels like we throw the

20:19

whole desk out of window and we look at these

20:21

buttons on the console that seems like it controls the

20:23

big light. Yeah let's make the big

20:25

light go. Is the

20:27

big light going? Big light is not

20:29

going. Well this seems like a problem. Should it be? You

20:33

see a ship coming dangerously close to

20:35

shore. Oh no we should have looked out the

20:37

window first. So

20:40

you're heading to the panel? Yeah yeah.

20:42

It's a large rectangular panel

20:45

with slightly curved corners. It

20:48

only has two levers on it. One is

20:50

labeled L, the other is labeled M.

20:53

Do they go forward and backward or do they go like side to

20:55

side or they just go there up and they go down? Forward

20:57

and backward. Are they in the middle and

20:59

they can go forward or backward or are they in one side

21:01

already? The more detail you ask for the more

21:04

inaccurate my picture becomes. I know me too I'm getting

21:06

really frustrated with my bad pictures. How

21:09

afraid should we be of messing with

21:11

these levers? Yeah do they look scary or do

21:13

they look fun? They look fun. They

21:16

don't look that scary and also they

21:18

look very uncomplicated. There's basically like

21:21

you can go between on and off effectively for

21:24

each of these levers. There's not like multiple settings

21:26

or ups and downs or lefts or right. It's

21:28

just activate. All

21:30

right well assuming that L means light how many

21:33

crashes could we possibly cause by turning it on

21:35

and off again? Yes yeah

21:37

just turn it real quick. It's

21:39

Morse coding a letter I. I don't think

21:41

that will confuse anyone. So you're gonna

21:43

pull the L lever? Yeah yeah let's do

21:45

that. The light turns on too

21:47

easily. You may not be a mechanic but

21:50

you're pretty sure that there isn't anything wrong with this

21:52

light. Why

21:55

did it go out? Did Captain

21:57

Feldman turn it off himself? as

22:00

the Coast Guard mentioned, it has been off for like a couple

22:02

of weeks. Yeah. Why would he do that? You

22:04

don't know. It seems to be perfectly functional. The light

22:06

is now on. So the light went off

22:08

a few weeks ago, but he stopped talking to anyone

22:10

like a month ago. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Presumably

22:14

he was still here messing with the light at

22:16

that point. He just got

22:18

mad at the world. That sounds like

22:20

a lighthouse keeper. Yeah. They're

22:22

grumps. I assume that's why they take the

22:24

job. We think

22:26

the M does. What do I think the

22:29

M does? You can have a look at the light. I

22:31

can have a look at the light. That's going to help. You can't

22:33

look right at the light. It's illegal. Let's do the

22:35

M lever first and see what happens. Yeah,

22:37

let's find out the phone. Okay. You

22:40

pull the lever labeled M. You

22:43

see that the light, which as

22:45

you refused to note earlier, has

22:47

a large metal cage around it

22:49

that directs the light in different

22:51

directions. You see the metal cage

22:54

start to move a little bit. It

22:57

begins to move and then it shudders

22:59

back and forth a little bit. It

23:01

looks like it wants to move, but is there something

23:04

jamming it? It's

23:06

a mystery forever. Let's move on. Just kidding. Is there

23:08

something in there jamming it? You have a look at

23:10

the mechanism above the light and

23:12

you see that there's a piece of paper that

23:15

looks like it's been crumpled

23:17

up and jammed somewhere in the

23:19

gears that help rotate the metal.

23:22

It's just a little bit too high. Just a little

23:25

bit out of your reach. It's an

23:27

impressively strong piece of paper if it's jamming

23:29

up metal. You know how gears

23:31

be. Those

23:33

old light-out gears. Can we take

23:35

one of them chairs and stand on it and reach it if we

23:37

have a chair? Yeah, you grab

23:39

one of the chairs. No,

23:42

there's only one of you. You grab

23:44

the chair and you turn the M

23:46

lever off so that when you don't,

23:49

this is an

23:51

OH&S check. This feels like we would notice.

23:54

It's a bit of a fight, but

23:57

eventually. You

24:00

get it out. It's a

24:02

page that looks like it's torn out

24:04

of something. The

24:07

page number 5 is circled. The

24:09

writing on the page is too small and

24:12

it'll take too long to read it all.

24:14

It's quite a compact script. Been there in

24:16

a skip room. But

24:18

you get the gist by scanning through.

24:21

It seems to be Captain

24:23

Feldman nervously rambling. You

24:25

don't know what he's talking about, but there's some

24:27

mentions of the FBI and the government. He

24:30

mentions his duty and following the law.

24:33

For a moment it gets philosophical, with

24:36

Feldman discussing the effectiveness of justice and

24:38

fairness. Then it goes

24:40

into a childlike tantrum with him ranting about

24:42

it all not being fair. It's

24:44

about the pirates in the Coast Guard, isn't it? Yeah,

24:47

I guess so. Does this look like it

24:49

came out of the diary? It does. This

24:51

looks like a page of the diary. And if you try

24:53

and find page 5 in the diary, you see it is

24:56

not there. Why is Feldman JB? Why

25:00

is he writing JB's secret diary?

25:02

Yeah, right? On page 5 at

25:04

that? Unbelievable.

25:06

Journal boy. Maybe

25:09

he calls himself journal boy. I

25:11

didn't consider that. That makes sense. We

25:14

cracked it. Alright, well, I...

25:16

Is there anything else in this? Sine

25:19

Captain Feldman, your journal boy.

25:22

Anything else on this side of

25:24

the room worth looking at? Shall we start

25:26

walking to other parts of the room? Yeah,

25:28

let's do that. As we do,

25:30

can we stare down at this patterned floor?

25:33

Sure, you look at the floor. It looks like it

25:36

would be a beautiful floor, were

25:38

it not for the dirt and scuff

25:40

marks that seem to completely take parts

25:42

of it. You can

25:44

tell there's some kind of pattern around the

25:46

outside and drawn on the floor itself, but

25:49

you can't quite piece it together. How

25:51

much cleaning solution have we been told

25:53

about so far? I

25:55

don't recall any. Maybe it's the supply closet. Should we check

25:58

the door and see if it's the supply closet? That

26:00

makes sense. That seems

26:02

appropriately optimistic. Let's go to the supply

26:04

closet door. So you head to this door in the

26:06

Northwall. It is a heavy

26:09

duty door and it's locked. Needs

26:11

a key. Do

26:14

you have that, Matt? I don't, but I

26:16

bet it's under the pillow on the bed that

26:18

I drew on the bed. Great. Let's

26:20

go to the perfect bed. So you head to the

26:22

perfect bed. It's a typical bed. Perfect. It does have

26:24

four posts. Yeah. So, Zanna, you've done well with your

26:26

drawing. It's a four-poster bed. Oh man. It's got a

26:29

pillow, sheets. Minimalistic, but it

26:31

looks comfy enough. We ruffle

26:33

and ruffle. You ruffle and

26:35

ruffle. Yeah. You don't find

26:37

anything under the

26:39

pillow or under the sheets. You have to look

26:41

under the mattress. Yeah. And

26:43

all you see really is the bed frame

26:45

itself. It's made of strips of wood that

26:47

are holding the mattress up. They're

26:49

all stuck into the frame, kind of

26:52

almost like a log cabin

26:54

sort of thing, where they're not really nailed in. They're

26:56

just sort of all supporting each other.

26:58

So they kind of look like you could remove them fairly easily

27:00

if you needed a wooden sink.

27:03

Okay. How big was that keyhole again?

27:06

It's the size of a wooden plank. Brilliant. What is...

27:10

Anything scratched or carved into any of these

27:12

and anything under the bed itself. I

27:15

don't know how explory this one is. There's nothing

27:17

underneath the bed other than seeing this bed frame.

27:19

You do, if you look for scratches, see that

27:22

all of the bed posts have, I

27:25

suppose, a line carved around them to make

27:27

like a full circle line near the top.

27:30

Except for one. One of

27:33

them, the line isn't fully complete. It

27:36

ends in a picture. It's

27:39

like a rough sketch of a ghost. Oh,

27:42

that's weird. No. We're

27:44

not planning on for ghosts. Should

27:47

we remove this log from the bed and look

27:49

at it more closely, see if it opens up

27:51

or anything, or are we afraid of it? I'm

27:54

too scared because it's got a picture of a ghost on it.

27:56

It's a little weird. Maybe

27:58

we leave it for now and just remember this. a cool picture

28:00

of a ghost there? Ah, that

28:02

seems irresponsible. It does. Let's

28:06

remove that post from the bed if that's doable,

28:08

and just give it a bit of a more

28:10

thorough shake up. While the bed

28:13

frame parts seem fairly loosely

28:15

connected, the posts themselves

28:17

are sturdily

28:19

structured and drilled

28:22

into the frame. You can't remove a post. Whatever.

28:28

That's upset me enough that I need to go to the fridge. Is

28:31

it a small fridge? It's scratched

28:33

and worn. It looks like it's been

28:35

here a while. It has

28:37

a handle like a fridge

28:40

would. Does it look like it has a ghost in

28:42

it? There's only one way to find

28:44

out. Let's find out. Can we open the fridge? Let's

28:46

open the fridge. Oh yeah. You grab

28:48

the handle of the fridge. You go to

28:50

open it. Should be simple enough. It's a fridge.

28:53

Yeah. But the handle pops off in your hand. The

28:56

fridge is still tightly sealed shut,

28:59

and now there's a flat piece of metal

29:01

where the handle was. It

29:03

has a small hole in the centre of it. Which

29:06

you can't seem to match to any of the

29:08

screws in the handle. It doesn't look like it

29:11

was used to keep the handle attached.

29:14

Obviously the hole wasn't meant for a screw. You

29:16

think it's something, well some other sort

29:18

of handle that we've got to attach

29:21

in there? Or something that we poke in

29:23

there? I've done that once. Is

29:26

it a fridge drawer without the handle? Just pull it

29:28

open as it needs a... It feels like it's tightly

29:30

sealed. You would expect it could usually open a fridge

29:32

without the handle, but in this case it doesn't seem

29:34

to budge. Have any of the other

29:36

handles that we've encountered so far feel like they

29:38

come off and would go in? No.

29:41

Okay. Well, good. Obstacles.

29:43

Let's keep looking. Where to

29:46

next? We should take the doorknob off the

29:48

locked door and then use it on the fridge and that would

29:50

solve both problems. That's what I was thinking. Ah, can't

29:52

be done. Ah man. It's a table

29:55

and we've already used one of

29:57

the chairs to great effects, but...

30:00

tell us about this table and chairs. So

30:03

the chairs themselves, they're wooden chairs, they're

30:05

very sturdy, which you've discovered yourself by standing

30:07

on them earlier. The

30:09

table, it's a simple wooden

30:11

table. Although it does have

30:13

an artsy end scratched

30:15

into the surface of the table. It's

30:18

an end table. What about

30:23

on the underside of the table? Anything there? No,

30:25

you search around the table under, over,

30:28

through, there's nothing there. No more

30:31

ghosts scratched into the legs? No, not a single other

30:33

one. Well

30:35

I think I've heard that ghosts hate mirrors, so

30:37

maybe we should go and look at that chest

30:39

of drawers that we saw. Yeah, definitely. It's

30:42

a beautiful dresser. It has four drawers. Three

30:46

of them are unmarked, but the second

30:49

from the top has a nice pattern

30:51

carved into it. Fish

30:53

jumping between waves. That's

30:55

cute. Fish jumping between waves

30:57

does not strike me with

31:00

any knowledge yet. Now

31:02

let's check out the mirror. The

31:04

mirror is somewhat grimy, but it's still

31:06

a nice mirror. The frame is wooden

31:09

and quite decorated, covered

31:11

in swirls and patterns. The

31:13

top of the frame, those

31:15

patterns seem to look like a big swirly

31:18

W. Interesting. So

31:21

we've got a W, we've got an N, I've

31:23

drawn a 3 that looks a lot like an E. We've

31:26

got a 5, an L, an M and a JB,

31:28

there are letters and numbers all over the place. We've

31:31

got a compass, that's all letters. And

31:34

there was a radio on here as well, yeah?

31:36

Yeah. Yeah, so there's

31:38

an old radio, it seems to

31:41

be playing some random station. It's

31:43

repeating the same message in a computerised

31:46

voice. Look

31:48

for weather. Through fog. Water

31:51

choppy. Logged reports. Stare out. Do you

31:53

notice anything about those messages? That message? I

32:00

do notice it mentioned the word log. We've

32:03

heard stuff about logs and that last

32:05

one's stare out. We do have stares.

32:07

Yeah. There's something going on

32:09

here. And

32:12

maybe the solution is in the drawers. You

32:14

want to look through the drawers? Yeah, let's see what we can do.

32:17

You go through the drawers from top

32:19

to bottom. The drawers that are unmarked,

32:23

they all open. They're filled with clothing.

32:25

It feels wrong to rummage through a missing

32:28

man's clothing, especially since you don't have anything

32:30

that you're actually looking for specifically. So you

32:32

leave it alone for now. The

32:34

marks drawer, however, it doesn't, you can't open

32:37

it. Feels like you start to pull and

32:39

immediately it gets sort of caught

32:42

or locked. It doesn't feel like

32:44

it's going to open. Okay.

32:46

And it's not like- But it is like a real

32:48

drawer. It's not like under the kitchen sink where it looks like a

32:50

drawer but it's a fake drawer. No, it seems like a real drawer.

32:52

Just one. Is there any sort of, you know,

32:54

people can mess around with drawers? Like they open up the one on

32:57

top and pull it all the way out and now you can get

32:59

it in the oven. That's a very fair thought

33:01

because the other drawers open but this one, the drawers

33:03

are like built into the dresser entirely so- Yeah, they

33:05

know what they're doing. There's wood between each one. Okay.

33:09

Hmm, jammed fish. And none of the

33:11

fish carving with the waves. Poke

33:14

the fish. Yeah, that's the one that doesn't seem to do anything.

33:17

There's nothing to poke or move or- Oh, you

33:19

run your hands over it, you try and poke

33:21

at it, nothing seems like a hidden mechanism on

33:23

a puzzle box or anything like that. Alright. Well,

33:26

on the plus side, we don't have too many

33:28

more things that we can possibly look at. How's

33:31

the view? Check out these windows. Stare

33:34

out. Exactly. Look for

33:36

weather. Look for weather. You can see

33:38

all the way around the lighthouse with these windows.

33:40

Almost, that one section of course. Mostly

33:43

you can see lots of water as well as

33:45

the occasional rock jutting out. Out

33:47

in the distance you can just barely see something red

33:50

blinking out in the water. You

33:53

also see the outside area just below the

33:56

window. There seems to be a balcony as

33:58

part of this lighthouse. Oh. But

34:01

you don't know how to get to it. It doesn't look like

34:03

that's where the top door goes? It might be where the top

34:05

door goes. Intriguing. Um,

34:07

and from there, unless we're like looking at

34:09

the stone wall itself, is there anything to

34:11

look at with that? It's made of

34:13

the same stone bricks as the stairway. Right. And

34:16

how about the stairs themselves? Stair out. Were

34:18

any of the stairs out? You look at the

34:20

stairs. None of the stairs are out, because I

34:22

don't know what that means. Maybe we

34:25

broke one on the way out. Yeah, you look

34:27

to see if stairs out means

34:29

anything. Nothing catches your eye as

34:32

stairs look like stairs. They look like

34:34

stairs. Interesting. All

34:36

right. I feel like I'm running out of

34:38

things to look at. Matt, do you have

34:40

any others that I've missed? Mm-mm. Nothing

34:44

I can think of. These windows don't

34:46

like open, do they? No,

34:49

the windows don't open. They're all solid glass.

34:51

They're basically glass walls rather than windows, I

34:53

suppose. Right. Well, my

34:56

current fixation is

34:58

this dirty floor. Yeah, it

35:00

is a dirty floor. I want to clean this

35:02

floor. Now, somehow we got

35:05

covered in muck and algae on our way up

35:07

here, and the stairs were

35:09

dripping. Are they dripping enough water

35:11

for us to collect and clean a floor?

35:13

There is definitely a fair bit of water

35:16

dripping onto the stairs. You

35:18

know, it looks like in some places it's almost like

35:20

warping the water a little bit, but

35:22

not enough that you could collect and clean a

35:24

floor with. Wait a

35:27

second. Wait a second. Matt,

35:29

what are the first words of that radio

35:31

message? Look for weather.

35:35

Not the first word of every

35:37

set of instructions that it gave. Oh. Look

35:40

through water logged stair.

35:43

You said that some of that water was

35:45

going onto the stairs. Ah. Is

35:48

there a particularly water logged one? There's

35:51

just enough light for you to

35:53

notice there's sort of five pairs of

35:55

wooden steps that look

35:57

pretty soaked with water. look

36:00

like waterlogged stairs. You peer

36:03

down into, see if you can look through

36:05

them, into the cracks between the stairs. It's

36:08

just a little too dark. The light is

36:10

on upstairs, but I think that metal cage

36:12

might be in the wrong way, because you never

36:14

turned it back on after you. What?

36:16

Yeah, we fixed it, so now we should, we can leave it

36:18

on, because it'll just do its thing, right? Let's

36:21

lever those levers. You head up back to

36:23

the light, you pull the M lever, and

36:25

the cage starts to turn. It

36:27

turns at a somewhat controlled pace. You could turn it

36:29

back off again to set it. Oh yeah, right when

36:31

it's facing the stairs. You know, to stop whenever it's

36:33

facing something. So you can stop it

36:35

right where it's, so it's pointing right at the stairs. That's my

36:37

plan. You notice the way this

36:40

is constructed actually, as it turns, it

36:42

has an opening on two opposite

36:44

sides. So as it turns,

36:46

the light would be directed in one

36:49

direction and the opposite direction.

36:51

Interesting. So as it turns, the light is

36:53

heading... Much like the lamp where it's double shading.

36:56

Yeah, a little bit. In

36:58

fact, when you set it to

37:01

focus on the stairs, you notice

37:03

it's facing the angle of that

37:05

lamp perfectly. One side facing

37:07

directly down onto the staircase, and

37:09

the other side facing directly onto that

37:12

piece of stone wall. Whoa.

37:15

So you head down to the stairs to look

37:18

at the waterlogged stairs. You

37:20

look down the cracks between each pair of

37:23

the waterlogged stairs, and you can just

37:25

make out some symbols carved

37:27

into the stones below the staircase.

37:30

And I have an image of these symbols. Oh, okay. I

37:33

believe this is the only image for people playing along at

37:35

home. Matt, I'm looking at the computer

37:37

at a weird angle, so you might have to do the

37:39

describing. Sorry. All right,

37:41

no problem. So there's an image for people at

37:44

home, if you'd like to look at it. But Matt

37:46

will describe it. All

37:48

right, I love these. I've sort of conglomerated

37:50

the five images together. Yeah, they're

37:53

one above each other. There's five little

37:55

sketches. The top one is a lighthouse,

37:58

and it's got little, like when you draw a lighthouse. to indicate

38:00

light is coming out. Below that is

38:02

a boat with a sail. Below

38:05

that is a scale, like

38:07

the skills of justice kind of scale, you know?

38:10

Measuring fleas by the looks of it. Yeah,

38:13

small piles of small little teams of fleas

38:15

on either side, but it's even. But

38:18

the biggest flea has fallen out. Yeah,

38:20

there's a little flea where it fell out. There's

38:23

a black dot that matches

38:25

things that are being weighed that is

38:27

just to the bottom right of that

38:29

image. If that's irrelevant, that is

38:31

subtle. Yeah. And

38:35

then below that is an open book. And

38:37

then below that is like a little rectangle of metal

38:40

maybe with two screws in it, one on the left,

38:42

one on the right. Oh, they do

38:44

look like screwdriver head screws.

38:46

Yeah. You know? I

38:48

would say this is a cassette tape looking.

38:50

It looks, it's a cassette tape, which is

38:52

clear to me now. Oh

38:54

yeah, it's just been a while since having a look at one of

38:57

those things. Yeah. It looks like

38:59

a screwdriver screw head. Um,

39:01

well we've seen some of those things. I'm

39:04

pretty sure we've seen a lighthouse at least. We've

39:07

certainly seen book. Other

39:09

things less familiar. All

39:12

right, well that's curious. I've

39:15

had my big revelation. I interpreted the radio

39:18

from there. Yeah, pretty good.

39:20

Where are you feeling? Okay,

39:23

so the other light is pointing just at

39:25

that wall, but is it illuminating anything in

39:27

particular? So you look at the stones of

39:29

the wall now that the light is shining on it. And

39:32

the light is catching on one of

39:34

the stones at sort of the top of the wall.

39:37

It looks wet and a little bit

39:40

too high to reach. Say

39:44

no more. We take the

39:47

fridge and we climb on it

39:49

using your trusty chair. You

39:52

get a closer look at the wet brick. You

39:54

notice there's a high pitched whistling coming

39:56

in around it. The

39:58

mortar is crumbling. and loose. It's

40:01

fingernail-dig-innable? It's fingernail-dig-innable. You pull the

40:04

stone out of the wall. It

40:10

comes out smoothly. It's been carved

40:12

out. And

40:14

inside, you see

40:16

there is a folded up piece of paper. It's

40:19

another page of the diary. This

40:21

time, number seven, which is also

40:23

circled, just like page five. Right.

40:27

It's a back and forth between

40:29

nerves and excitement. One

40:32

moment, Feldman will ramble about all the new

40:34

things he needs to learn about how it's

40:36

all too much. The next moment,

40:38

he talks about how thankful he is. Then

40:41

he gets nostalgic and lists everything

40:43

he misses, his books, his dog,

40:45

etc. And then

40:47

he goes back to celebrating the success of his

40:49

big bluff. His big

40:51

bluff? His big bluff. What

40:54

is that? Did I miss... Is that a thing I know about?

40:56

You don't know the context, Max. Except the

40:58

title of the room. Mainly

41:00

relevant. Oh, yeah. But,

41:02

yeah, I don't know. I'm

41:05

going to guess he challenged some

41:07

ghosts to a game of chess. So

41:10

he's right? That's when you bluff. What

41:14

on earth should we look at

41:16

as far as all this stuff goes? It's got a

41:18

lot of objects. OK, fish

41:20

drawer, cable with an on it. So

41:23

you mentioned the three on the floor downstairs, and there's the an, and

41:25

then there's the W on the mirror. So

41:28

that's a west, and then what I drew is the north,

41:30

and the north, and the east, and the east, and the

41:32

south. I understand what

41:34

you mean. Yeah, you're

41:36

card drawing the W

41:39

that should indicate west is in the north of the room. And

41:42

the N is in the east of the room. So

41:44

it's in the right places, but if you've only wrote

41:46

the order. That is true. Wow.

41:49

That's interesting. We

41:51

don't have anything indicating us south yet, right? Unless

41:53

we just miss something on the desk, I guess,

41:55

or maintenance. If you have a look, though, is

41:57

that what that squiggle was in the drawer or something? No,

42:00

that doesn't look like an S at all, but if you start

42:02

to clear up some of those pages that are sitting on the

42:04

desk, you notice underneath there is an S carved into the surface

42:06

of the desk. Okay, as far

42:08

as we know, does this match what the actual

42:10

real world directions are? No. Huh.

42:14

In fact, as far as you know, they don't. What a freak. And

42:19

that compass thing we have, what

42:21

does that look like again? It's just a...

42:23

It's a little handheld compass, and it has

42:25

the markings for north, south, east and west

42:28

in the appropriate places on a compass, in

42:30

little triangles around a central circle, much like

42:33

the compass often has, but it has

42:35

no pointer. And there's nothing else on there,

42:37

just the north, south, east, west. Oh, it says

42:39

JB on the back. I mean,

42:41

we've got that mystery note with the

42:43

lighthouse sailboat scales, book and cassette on

42:45

it, and we've still got

42:47

all those weird nonsense dates. You

42:50

do? What could they be

42:52

that has a zero involved

42:54

in it, and then also just

42:56

a random Wednesday, Thursday? So

42:59

that, like, I could almost visualize it

43:02

as change, like you go forward

43:04

four, forward two, forward nine, don't

43:06

change, then back two, back three,

43:08

back five, back eight. Is

43:11

it going to be worth my while

43:13

writing out the numbers

43:15

of the months? It may well be,

43:17

it often is, in a puzzle. So,

43:22

like, February 4th, I've just got two four, then

43:25

March 2nd, three two, one nine, eight

43:28

zero, one one, negative two, all

43:30

minus two, five negative

43:32

three, twelve negative five,

43:35

nine negative eight, W,

43:37

T, H. What the

43:39

hell? So obviously by

43:41

themselves, that doesn't seem to make much more sense than the

43:44

original thing. Unless it's a

43:46

really large subtraction, like 24

43:48

million, three hundred and twenty one thousand, nine

43:51

hundred and eighty. There's a lot of minus signs. There

43:54

can be lots of minuses in one mass equation.

43:57

There could be, I suppose. Minus two, five,

43:59

minus twenty. minus 312 minus 59 minus 8 Wednesday

44:01

Thursday I suppose perfect math and they

44:09

are subtractions they do work like 11 minus 2 5

44:11

minus 3 12 minus 5 and 9 minus

44:14

8 they work suppose

44:16

I'll write down what they give me but

44:18

I don't know if it helps 9 2 7

44:21

and 1 these are more numbers

44:23

all right if can

44:26

we now print out can we if we start missing moving

44:28

the pages rank and we figure out what the picture is

44:30

or do we need to figure out the numbers yeah you'd

44:32

have to kind of figure out how to put them together

44:34

to see what it all is yeah they are not

44:37

in month order as we've

44:39

gone through them just as we found

44:41

them hmm I don't know

44:43

if I see anything if I rearrange them because

44:45

it's not like there's a first month second month

44:47

third month fourth month we don't have a fourth

44:49

month so like should I make the first

44:51

one a six and then a five and then a ten

44:53

and then an eight still

44:55

just gives me numbers that I don't know what to do

44:58

with so what have you just done I

45:00

just took the first ones and they didn't

45:02

have minuses so I just plus them instead

45:04

I don't think I've got a plus symbol

45:06

but it's the opposite of

45:08

minus so worth a shot and

45:11

so yeah now I've got more numbers

45:13

what numbers do you have six five

45:15

ten eight for those ones and

45:18

then nine two seven one

45:20

I'm missing a three and a four does

45:22

that mean the Wednesday and Thursday correspond to three

45:24

and four in some manner Wednesday

45:27

and Thursday being three and four makes some

45:29

sense it's not unreasonable but those

45:32

days of the week sure but why would it go

45:35

up to ten if that's the case from Monday yeah

45:38

that is true but everyone knows in

45:40

Maine they start on Monday so they call

45:42

it Monday may as well they should so now

45:46

if we consider the Wednesday and Thursday three

45:48

and four in that order we

45:51

have the numbers one to

45:53

ten not in order but

45:57

they meet that's the order that we should be

45:59

examining them in some fashion? You

46:01

give it a try. You take the sketches and you

46:04

sort of put them all from order one to

46:06

ten. September the negative

46:08

eight would be number one. So

46:10

you place them in the order September, the

46:12

September sketch in the May, the Wednesday, the

46:14

Thursday, March, February, December,

46:17

August, November, January. What a

46:19

ridiculous order. But

46:22

now that they're in order, you sort of

46:24

see the similarities between these images a lot more

46:26

clearly and how they change from one to the

46:28

other. It's almost like a sort of a ten

46:31

page flip book. Oh,

46:34

okay. A lot of flip books.

46:37

You flip through it and you sort of see

46:39

what each of the sketches show. It's

46:41

a boat that gets

46:43

closer and closer. Oh no,

46:45

that's not what a lighthouse wants. It's

46:49

a boat slowly getting closer and closer. As it

46:51

does, you start to see a small group of

46:53

people on it pointing at you. At

46:56

the very end, letters begin to

46:58

appear on the boat one at

47:00

a time. First R,

47:02

then H, then O. It spells

47:05

out Rhode Island Coast Guard. What?

47:08

Wait, that's a lot of letters. So

47:11

I suppose it's probably more than... A couple at a

47:13

time. There must be a few sketches each with these

47:15

dates on them to get enough pages to make this

47:18

appear one at a time. It's a magic sketchbook. It's

47:20

a magic sketchbook. I am getting magic vibes. It spells

47:22

out Rhode Island Coast Guard. Rhode

47:24

Island, but... A little near Maine, I guess. Yeah, you're off

47:26

the shore of Maine. Why would the Coast Guard

47:28

send people from Rhode Island out here? You

47:32

start wondering about your escorts and now

47:34

that you think about it, their uniforms had Rhode

47:37

Island flags on them. Huh,

47:39

maybe they're just... I wouldn't know that. ...filling in for a while? So

47:44

there's got you a little bit more information about

47:46

sort of a meta mystery, but nothing

47:48

actionable in terms of the room. I

47:51

mean, and based on where I started with

47:53

the whole piracy thing, I'm not surprised by

47:55

this at all. Yep. This

47:57

makes perfect sense. But, OK,

47:59

frustrating. We did a lot of work

48:01

and we got some good story. But

48:04

not a next move. No.

48:07

Which thing should we be looking at? Is

48:10

there anything weird about the handle that we pulled

48:12

off the fridge? No,

48:14

the fridge handle, there's nothing odd about

48:16

it. It's got some like weird

48:19

crud on it. Yeah, everything in here

48:21

seems to have weird crud on it. But you

48:23

realise actually that came off your hands. Yeah.

48:27

It's kind of like that, you know that

48:29

old leathery book grit? Yeah,

48:32

it's nasty. Because you got

48:34

it off that diary, it has that cover that's just

48:36

completely coming apart and it looks like it's coming apart

48:38

onto your hands a little bit as well. Nasty.

48:42

And I feel like you're telling us this for a

48:44

reason. Yeah. But I

48:47

do not know why book grit could

48:49

be useful to us. That's

48:51

a tricky one. Yeah. I

48:54

look at the diary cover with a bit more

48:56

intensity. Yeah, so you look at this diary

48:58

cover and yeah, the

49:01

cover looks really warm,

49:03

like it could fall apart at any moment, like

49:05

a thick cover as well. I do recall you

49:07

saying that and I thought, well, that's books that

49:09

you read a lot, that's very normal. But

49:12

now you're saying it again. Yeah, you poke at it a little

49:14

further and it

49:17

feels lumpy, not that much. Should we make it fall

49:19

apart? Yeah, let's make it fall apart. You tear it apart.

49:21

You tear the cover apart. You tear the cover

49:23

off the book. And

49:25

you notice that, oh, like

49:28

a key falls out of it. Sweet. That's

49:30

actionable. Well, okay, you

49:32

say key. It definitely looks like a key,

49:35

but it doesn't seem to have all of the

49:37

hooks and the nooks and the crannies of a key.

49:40

It's kind of just a straight stick, like a little

49:42

metal rod. Even better. Yeah.

49:45

We can get into the fridge and get some

49:47

nourishment. I poke it into the

49:49

fridge hole. You poke it

49:52

into the fridge hole. The

49:54

fridge opens up. It

49:56

looks like it clicks in, turns and the fridge

49:58

unseals. open it with

50:01

your hands as normal. Inside you

50:03

find tuna, water bottles, some pickles.

50:06

You hope. This stuff hasn't been in there a while,

50:08

so hopefully it was meant to be a pickle when

50:11

it went in. And

50:14

at the very back of the fridge, in

50:17

what must be a terribly unsanitary habit,

50:19

floor cleaner. I was just going

50:22

to use the water for that. Or the pickles. Pickle

50:25

water is pretty good. Yeah, pickle brain. Did

50:27

Captain Feldman go senile? He's starting to think this

50:29

might just be a case of an old man

50:31

getting too old. Sad,

50:34

but a realistic theory, I suppose. But

50:36

yes, there is floor cleaner back here. We

50:38

should totally clean the floor. Yeah,

50:41

it makes sense. Just in case it comes back while we're

50:43

snooping around. It's true. Brilliant. And it'll make up for all

50:45

the upsetting thoughts we're having about it. You pour some cleaner

50:47

onto the floor. You

50:49

pour some cleaner onto the floor. Congratulations! You've

50:52

made a puddle of floor cleaner. Excellent. Yes. If

50:54

you realise, however, the floor cleaner doesn't clean on

50:56

its own, you've got to put in some elbow

50:58

grease. What can you... Bed clothes. You

51:01

know what? Ideally it was going to be

51:03

clothes from his dresser, but bed clothes is

51:05

perfectly fine. You grab the sheet and the

51:07

pillowcase and you clear off the

51:09

floor. What are spare sheets for?

51:11

You don't replace the sheets on your bed. You

51:13

have one for the sheets for bed. You clean

51:15

the floor with a print. One

51:18

for cleaning. You clean the floor with these

51:20

sheets and floor cleaner. And after

51:22

all the grunge is cleared off, you can see that

51:24

you were right. There is a pattern stained into the

51:26

floor. Right. There's a... sort of a dark

51:29

circle that has a picture of a key inside

51:31

of it. And then on

51:34

the outside of this circle there's a bunch of

51:36

triangles pointing outwards from this circle that has

51:38

the key inside. You're pretty sure

51:40

it's supposed to be a compass? And

51:42

yep, yes, that does match the design of the compass

51:44

that you've had this whole time. Yes. You

51:47

notice something else that doesn't match, On

51:49

the ground there's a large sort

51:51

of oblong shape. Like

51:54

a big rectangle with rounded corners.

51:57

Which is what I picture when I say oblong. I'm

51:59

assuming everybody does. And it's got

52:01

sets of, sort of, hash marks inside of it.

52:04

From left to right they're grouped together, four

52:07

hash marks, then two, then

52:10

two again, then two

52:12

again, then four, then two, then

52:14

four. They alternate between four

52:17

lines and two lines, grouped up

52:19

in this rectangle. Rect

52:22

angle. That's curious. But

52:25

clearly this goes with the compass and that's just,

52:27

does it just go with the compass or is

52:30

there something else that it goes with? Like

52:32

oblong brick with

52:35

hash marks and numbers on it. Yeah,

52:37

sort of like a rounded rectangle shape.

52:41

I remember the levers

52:43

had the rounded rectangle. Oh

52:46

did they? Because that's what I

52:48

drew. The panel that the levers is on was,

52:50

yeah it actually looks like a very similar shape.

52:53

Probably even the exact same size. Oh that's interesting.

52:56

That didn't occur to me. Okay,

52:58

how do we 4222424 with the lever panel?

53:03

Yeah, you've got four lines, then two

53:05

lines, then two lines, then

53:07

two lines, etc. Just

53:09

gonna be like flashing the light that

53:12

many times? That feels like not

53:14

impossible but I

53:16

don't know how to flash a light four times

53:19

and then pause long enough to flash it two

53:21

times. Yeah, not knowing how long you'd have

53:23

to do between it and the fact that they're separated is

53:26

a little tough to go 422. We

53:30

can make it spin around four times. This is

53:32

also true. Yeah it is hard at all because

53:34

there's not much to do on the panel. There's

53:37

just like an L lever and an M lever.

53:39

Yeah. Yeah. But

53:41

we've been given some pretty clear indication that it's

53:43

relevant. What happens if

53:45

we, anything happens if we bring our

53:47

compass closer, we hover it around, anything

53:49

magnetic going on that has any sort

53:51

of effect? The compass doesn't seem

53:53

to interact with the panel in any way. And

53:56

in fact the two designs on the floor seem to

53:58

be on opposite sides of the floor. Rather

54:01

than like right next to each other for example. Yeah, like

54:03

it's telling me I gotta smash the compass and I don't really

54:05

want to do that. Should I

54:07

want to do that? You sort of

54:09

jiggle the compass a little in your ear and it sounds

54:11

like there's something in there. But you

54:14

know what, you can try and smash it, it doesn't smash.

54:17

Yeah, I'm not that good at smashing stuff. But

54:20

yeah, you kind of rattling your ear a little and you

54:22

notice it's, there might be a

54:24

key in there but there's definitely other interesting mechanical things

54:27

going on in there. You

54:29

also remember something when you were cleaning this

54:31

section of the floor. That

54:34

over this compass pattern,

54:36

there was, it's sort of in the

54:38

north-est section of the room, a little bit just a

54:41

touch north of the light. And

54:43

it looked like there was a bunch of extra grime here.

54:45

It's an al- the sort of, almost

54:47

like, there was

54:49

like algae and water and dirt

54:51

that had coalesced more here than in some other

54:53

places. It's just someone had been standing here for

54:56

a while. Fair enough, there's a balcony door there,

54:58

you leave that open, all the grime's gonna get

55:00

in. Mm-hmm. The

55:02

mirror was also kind of grimy, can we do any

55:05

cleaning of that? No, you

55:07

can't, it's quite high up the mirror. What?

55:10

It's on top of the dresser. Oh, I

55:12

thought it was removable and like holdable. Yeah, you

55:14

can, you can get, but you know, you reach up

55:17

to get it, it's hard to clean. The dresser's a

55:19

lot taller than I imagined. If you pull it down,

55:21

you could probably give it a clean but nothing much

55:23

happens. Okay. Stretch up to get it back on

55:25

top of the dresser. We have

55:27

two things floor pattern

55:29

wise. Just to clarify, did it

55:32

feel like those two floor pattern things, the one that looks

55:34

like the compass and the one that looks like the panel,

55:36

did it feel like those were connected

55:38

to each other in this floor? No, they seem like two

55:40

separate ideas that you've uncovered. Okay, that's something at least.

55:43

So, as far as the compass one goes,

55:46

and so we've got a compass that

55:48

doesn't point anywhere. We've got this floor design that

55:50

matches the compass and indicates that a key is

55:52

going to happen or be required

55:55

at some point with this. We

55:57

have some extra floor grime in the

55:59

north. of the room, which

56:01

is where we found the mirror that said West,

56:04

or presumably. The foreground is basically where that image

56:06

was on the floor. Right. So,

56:09

it's almost like someone had been standing there for a while.

56:12

Okay. Cool. So, they had been standing

56:14

on the comfort seat bit. And

56:17

yes, we also have these objects that we

56:19

found around the room that have potentially

56:22

these letters of North, South, East and West

56:24

on them that were not actually in the

56:26

North, South, East and West. They

56:28

corresponded to it if we turned 90 degrees.

56:31

Yeah. So, we

56:34

go up to that grimy spot where we found the picture

56:36

of the compass. We've got our compass. I

56:38

mean, I guess we can look at it, like

56:40

hold it in the direction that the room with

56:43

the letters is doing. Yeah, you try and sort of take

56:45

it and point it so the North is facing the North and

56:47

the South is facing the South. You also notice that the

56:50

mirror is sort of high up to the

56:52

West and the East symbol is on

56:55

the level below you. Oh, so we tilt it?

56:57

Oh yeah. We tilt

56:59

it at a strange angle so that it's pointing

57:01

almost up towards the West one and down

57:04

towards the East. We like the light on. We're going to get

57:06

blinded by this thing. You tilt

57:08

it enough, the light shines off into your eyes, you're

57:10

blind. So, you'll have to do the rest of the

57:12

room pure audio, which will be a completely

57:16

different experience. And once you get

57:18

it into that exact layout, it suddenly, you see

57:21

something inside, it pops open. And

57:24

inside, there is a small key. Okay.

57:28

We have key. Does it look like key to

57:30

door? It does look like key to door. Key open door.

57:33

Key to door open. Balcony. Pull

57:36

door. As you pull the door open, you

57:39

notice there's something fluttering around caught in the hinges of the

57:41

door. Ew. Is it

57:43

a ghost? It's a ghost. It's another page

57:45

of the diaries, same handwriting as all the

57:47

others. It's page number one and that

57:49

one is circled. On this

57:51

page, Feldman seems incredibly calm and hopeful. He

57:53

goes on and on about his dreams for

57:56

the future, the peace and freedom that he

57:58

feels up in this lighthouse. A

58:01

lot of the entry is Feldman simply appreciating

58:03

the view. At least someone enjoys being out

58:05

here. Stepping outside, you

58:08

discover a wraparound balcony. Now

58:10

that you're a little closer to the ocean as well, you can

58:12

peer over the balcony and get a better look at that red

58:15

dot in the water. It seems

58:17

to be a boy. And you can see

58:19

it in the long- A buoy. A

58:22

buoy to- Some people. Freaks!

58:25

In different countries, or in different pronunciations

58:27

of words. A boy. Or

58:29

a buoy. You can see more detail on it from

58:31

here. And also you can

58:34

look down and you can see the

58:36

shore of- where the water meets the

58:38

shore. And there's kind of algae all

58:40

covering that area. And also there's something else. There's

58:43

a shipwreck. Right in front of you.

58:46

Well, yeah, this was awkward. Someone

58:49

dropped the ball here. So yeah, those

58:51

are a few new things to look at. Alright, tell

58:53

me about this red boy. So the red boy- In the water? Is

58:57

in the water. And he says, hey, the little demon,

58:59

how are you? The

59:02

red boy. It's mesmerising to

59:04

watch. It tilts to

59:06

the right, then dips down, then it tilts

59:08

left, then it bounces up, then it sort

59:10

of straightens out, and then repeats.

59:13

A fairly repeating pattern. And

59:15

now that you're outside, you can see more detail on it. There's

59:17

a logo on it, the U.S. seaboard of Maine. And

59:21

below that logo is a picture of a fish jumping out of a

59:23

wave. Oh, that's interesting. Wait,

59:26

how did this thing bob again? It went tilt

59:28

right, then dipped down, then tilted to the

59:30

left, then came up, then straightened back out,

59:33

and then started again, over and over again. Now, I

59:35

don't know how to jiggle a drawer like that, but I feel

59:38

like I'm being told how to jiggle a drawer. Yeah,

59:41

we could jiggle a dresser. You go to

59:43

the dresser, and you find the door

59:45

labelled with the same label as this

59:47

boy, and you jiggle it. In the

59:49

exact method I just laid out. Tilting

59:51

right, pulling, going down, then tilting left, then

59:53

up, then straightening out, all that sort of stuff. You

59:57

push an angle, etc., etc. this,

1:00:00

it opens up

1:00:02

easily. It slides straight out. We've got a drawer that

1:00:04

you've got to do some weird, Tractor. And

1:00:07

inside there is a whole mess of things. There's

1:00:09

a driver's ID, a passport,

1:00:11

both of which have the

1:00:13

name Jonathan Bunnam. But

1:00:16

the picture looks like Captain Feldman. What?

1:00:20

As well as some money, some old pictures, a

1:00:22

couple of drawings that look like they've been

1:00:24

made by a young child. And

1:00:26

there's another page of the diary, ripped out. This

1:00:29

time page three, and the three is circled.

1:00:32

This page has an incredibly cocky

1:00:34

tone. Feldman was definitely feeling an

1:00:37

abundance of confidence. He talks

1:00:39

about the FBI, something about

1:00:41

written confessions and audio tapes, and

1:00:44

a fellow witness he convinced to talk. There's

1:00:47

also a small section about threats, but then

1:00:49

he talks about special protections being put in

1:00:52

place. He was the pirate all

1:00:54

along. I don't know

1:00:56

how I didn't see this coming. That

1:00:59

was exciting stuff. I've still got a bunch

1:01:01

of things outside. Alright, well,

1:01:03

the shipwreck is kind of substantial.

1:01:06

Is there anything else just about the

1:01:08

general outdoor setting? Look,

1:01:10

you can see the coastline covered in

1:01:12

algae. Yeah, right. It's

1:01:15

a line of algae slime that's being pushed up

1:01:17

onto the rocks, by the waves. It's

1:01:20

like a jagged sort of line staggering

1:01:22

up and down, likely due

1:01:24

to the choppy waters. Huh. Interesting.

1:01:27

I have feelings about that. Does

1:01:30

that look similar to the crack in the drawer? It

1:01:32

looks very similar to the crack of the drawer. They

1:01:34

actually need to follow the exact same path, almost

1:01:36

like the crack in the drawer is a diagram

1:01:39

of the coastline. Alright, I

1:01:42

know what I have to do. I take some of the

1:01:44

algae from my hand, so I'm on the way up and

1:01:46

I smear it in the drawer. Don't worry, it's

1:01:48

fine. Now you have an algae drawer. That's

1:01:50

okay. So no, you can't see the nothing. They definitely

1:01:52

seem to match, but not in a way

1:01:54

that makes you go, ooh, a puzzle that I've solved.

1:01:57

More like... Pretty curious. Might

1:02:00

help you later. Yeah. Meanwhile,

1:02:02

I think it's... Shipwreck across? Yeah,

1:02:05

no way to put it off. You finally stop averting

1:02:07

your eyes and then you look upon the shipwreck. Sure,

1:02:09

sure. It was hidden behind the wall, but

1:02:11

now that you're outside, there is no missing it. It's

1:02:13

a bit of a strange boat. There's

1:02:16

four masts, but they

1:02:18

aren't lined up like a normal ship. Instead,

1:02:21

they're almost like in a box

1:02:23

shape. They make like a... there's

1:02:25

four of them almost like in a rectangle shape.

1:02:27

I don't know enough about ships to know how abnormal

1:02:29

that is. I'll take your word for

1:02:31

it. Three of the four are definitely weathered.

1:02:34

It's a wreck after all. But they look

1:02:36

stable enough to hold up what's left of their masts.

1:02:39

The fourth, however, in the

1:02:41

top left, it will hit

1:02:44

a crack all the way around. It looks

1:02:46

like it could split open in any

1:02:48

minute. And another curious thing, you

1:02:50

can't seem to see a captain's wheel anywhere on the

1:02:52

ship. That's good, because I certainly didn't draw one. Good,

1:02:55

because you can't see one. What

1:02:57

can we do with an about to crack sail? I

1:03:00

mean, we have been told about that we had a suspicious

1:03:03

picture of a sailboat, but I'm

1:03:05

not sure how to engage with that just yet. As

1:03:08

you move, as you lean forward to get a

1:03:10

better look at the ship, you

1:03:13

notice that you standing in front of the door

1:03:16

had been blocking some light that was

1:03:18

coming out through that stone that you

1:03:20

removed earlier. Oh. Maybe

1:03:23

you pulled a stone out of the wall. We

1:03:25

were shining light right on it. So

1:03:27

the light is shining onto the shipwreck. So

1:03:30

you scooch aside a little and you let it shine down

1:03:32

onto the ship and you do notice something. The

1:03:35

stream of light lands

1:03:37

right at the bottom of that top

1:03:39

left post, top left mast. OK. And

1:03:42

there's an image of a man? It

1:03:46

appears to be some kind of trick of the

1:03:48

light. It definitely looks like some kind of

1:03:51

ghostly captain. Ghost? He

1:03:54

seems to be stuck in a loop. He's continually

1:03:57

turning a steering wheel. He

1:04:01

does one full rotation clockwise,

1:04:03

half a rotation back, just

1:04:05

over and over again. Full

1:04:08

time clockwise and half back, clockwise, half

1:04:10

back. I think we

1:04:12

should go to the bed and do that to

1:04:14

that ghosty posty. Oh, that's

1:04:16

interesting. Does ghosty posty rotate? You

1:04:19

go to the bed and similar

1:04:21

to some kind of bed knobs and

1:04:23

broomstick style post, it does seem to have a...

1:04:26

The top can rotate a little bit. You

1:04:29

start to turn it, you turn it

1:04:31

clockwise, and then half back, and then clockwise, and then

1:04:33

half back, and then clockwise, and half back, over and over again.

1:04:36

And it becomes looser and

1:04:38

looser, eventually. It comes right off. The

1:04:41

post is hollow inside, and you can

1:04:43

see a rolled up piece of paper.

1:04:45

Excellent. The page number six is circled.

1:04:49

Scanning through this one, you can

1:04:51

hardly understand anything Feldman is saying. There

1:04:53

are way too many mentions of conspiracy

1:04:55

theories for your comfort. Every

1:04:57

few sentences, he goes off on a tangent, and

1:04:59

you lose his train of thought pretty quickly. There's

1:05:02

lots of talk about boats and

1:05:04

radio chatter. The whole page

1:05:06

is the written version of like a red string

1:05:08

clue board. Crazy people have in their

1:05:11

basements. That's all. Just

1:05:13

another diary note. How

1:05:15

many have we got so far? We've got

1:05:17

one... Five, I think. One,

1:05:19

three, five, six, and seven. Okay.

1:05:26

Alright, well that was certainly intriguing.

1:05:29

But where

1:05:31

to next? We got those

1:05:33

hash marks on the... Oh,

1:05:35

you're right, I'd forgotten about those already. What

1:05:37

did it mean? If there's

1:05:40

two levers, there's four like, do

1:05:42

both levers two times, you know,

1:05:44

like conk, conk, and then

1:05:46

no. No, no, it is

1:05:48

true that you've got two letters. You've got two

1:05:50

levers, one labeled L, one

1:05:52

labeled M, and then all you've got to kind of figure

1:05:54

out how to interact with these is four

1:05:57

little hash marks, little straight lines.

1:06:00

and then a series of two little straight lines and then two,

1:06:03

two, they're just two or four. Is

1:06:06

there any way that we should correspond the

1:06:08

numbers two and four with these levers? Is

1:06:11

one of them labeled with a two and

1:06:13

the other a four? I mean,

1:06:15

really, the levers are labeled in the most simple...

1:06:17

L and M. The simplest,

1:06:19

like, geometric L and M you've

1:06:21

ever seen. Now, L does

1:06:24

take two lines to create,

1:06:26

and M does take four to

1:06:28

create. So

1:06:30

maybe it's something like that. You

1:06:33

try with that understanding that the M

1:06:35

is the four and the L is the

1:06:37

two, and you take the levers.

1:06:40

I look like a person. You know how in

1:06:42

TV shows you can always tell when someone's not

1:06:44

typing? Because they're just, you know, I feel

1:06:46

like that's what I'm doing when I move levers

1:06:48

like this. And the left one, the

1:06:51

right one, and then the left one three times,

1:06:53

and then the right again. Exactly. So you've got

1:06:55

to be a little careful. It's kind of disorienting,

1:06:57

because as we've already figured out, the light works

1:06:59

perfectly. It was kind of odd that the

1:07:01

Coast Guard told you to... or

1:07:03

said that they sent someone in to inspect this place

1:07:05

after he'd gone and check out on the lights, because

1:07:08

they didn't find out that the light was

1:07:10

working. I mean, because that's why they're Coast

1:07:12

Guard, not detectives. It is

1:07:15

truly functional. So you get a little bit of, like,

1:07:17

a flashing light going on. But you go, M,

1:07:19

L, L, L, M, L, M. This

1:07:23

is so much multi-level marketing. And then

1:07:26

suddenly you hear a loud click, and

1:07:30

the front of the panel swings open. Oh! The levers fly out

1:07:33

of your hands. There's

1:07:38

a small compartment in this panel, and it holds

1:07:40

a book titled The Mysteries

1:07:42

and Mirages of Maine. M, M,

1:07:46

M. All right,

1:07:49

is this a readable book? It is. In

1:07:52

particular, if we need to know what we're looking

1:07:54

for, anything about ghost pirates. You

1:07:57

flip through, and oh, you do see there's something about

1:07:59

ghost pirates. Oh yeah. It's also set here

1:08:01

in Bluffers Point. Do they disguise themselves as

1:08:03

Rhode Island Coast Guard people? It catches your

1:08:06

eye almost immediately. The ghost captain of the post

1:08:08

ship 1903, Bluffers Point. You

1:08:11

never knew this place had a ghost story. The

1:08:13

passage... Oh, it looks as if

1:08:15

some letters have been scratched out of it?

1:08:17

No, no way. But you can read it

1:08:20

fairly easily. Yeah. Could you

1:08:22

read this passage? In italics

1:08:24

here? Yes. Okay,

1:08:27

so yeah, there are a couple of hyphens

1:08:29

to indicate missing letters. I'll do my best

1:08:31

to fill them in. So,

1:08:33

upon... Eh? I'll make an

1:08:35

eh when I'm filling in some letters to the best of my

1:08:37

understanding. What letters do you fill in there? The P. Ah-am,

1:08:40

the craggy rocks of Bluffers Point,

1:08:43

sits the third wreck of the

1:08:45

post ship, tattered and abandoned for

1:08:47

years. It is considered one of

1:08:49

the most unique naval structures known, and

1:08:52

it is an on-erring debate

1:08:55

as to how it functioned. It

1:08:58

has been said that the crew, doubting the

1:09:01

abilities of the boat and

1:09:04

its Captain's sanity, took

1:09:06

off in the middle of... I doubt your sanity. How

1:09:08

am I going to do this one? Of the

1:09:10

night... Night with a dreamy

1:09:12

thing? Yep. Yeah,

1:09:15

sure. ...leaving the sleeping captain

1:09:17

to crash into Bluffers Point and drown.

1:09:20

Many locals say to... Ah,

1:09:23

hat. In certain life, the captain can still

1:09:26

be seen to this day, rying

1:09:28

to fix his demise, standing

1:09:31

at his wheel to steer his ship away

1:09:33

from Bluffers Point. I think

1:09:35

I made that perfectly clear, but just in

1:09:37

case I didn't, I'll go

1:09:39

through the words that I'd missing letters. The

1:09:41

first word, which I am taking to mean

1:09:43

upon, had a missing P. Following

1:09:47

that, possibly the word sad

1:09:49

with a missing A. From

1:09:52

there, I'm going with the word ongoing,

1:09:54

missing a G. Functioned,

1:09:56

missing an E. The

1:09:59

missing... an E, captains

1:10:02

missing an I,

1:10:04

knight missing a

1:10:07

G, that missing an H, also not

1:10:09

great to try to say, and

1:10:13

trying missing a T. Which

1:10:16

fortunately, if we just write out those

1:10:18

letters, seem to say

1:10:20

something. And what is that? Page

1:10:23

8. Now, I feel like we did

1:10:25

not already find a page 8. Does the diary still

1:10:27

have its page 8 in it? You go to

1:10:29

your diary. Great question. Well, it's not my

1:10:31

diary. You go to your diary. My diary

1:10:33

is in good quality. And on page 8

1:10:35

it says, Dear diary, I'm a bad detective

1:10:37

and I hate the ocean and I don't

1:10:39

like coast guards and things. On

1:10:43

page 8 of JB's diary. Yeah.

1:10:46

Well, you see, it's covered in tiny, oh, this

1:10:48

is, I'm going to preface, I'm going to

1:10:50

preface this everybody. I want to leave this

1:10:52

in the episode. I really like what's

1:10:55

coming up. I think it's really fun. It's

1:10:59

covered in tiny lettering from top to bottom

1:11:01

and it's pretty mundane stuff like records of

1:11:03

tides and boats and mechanical checks on the

1:11:05

light. Wasn't

1:11:07

that great, everybody? I love, no, that's not what I

1:11:09

was talking about. What

1:11:11

Captain Feldman ate that day, observations

1:11:13

or dreams, amidst all that

1:11:15

scribbled chaos, however, there is something that catches

1:11:17

your eye. It's a box

1:11:20

stop section titled, Missing Me, and

1:11:22

it consists of six lines. Will

1:11:25

you just like swap off reading them? Maybe

1:11:27

Matt, you can start. Oh. Number

1:11:29

one, this is awfully weird. When

1:11:33

you're sick, you're aging quickly. Examine

1:11:35

yourself in bad jams. Give

1:11:37

cosy vibes, please. Number

1:11:40

two, keep up the good attitude. Every

1:11:42

time you excitedly jive, you make me

1:11:45

smile big at your zany quirks, but

1:11:47

no flexing. Number

1:11:49

three, always stay cautious with your wits

1:11:52

about you. tragic

1:11:54

zack. level

1:11:58

4 any vexing

1:12:00

tides zooming up rocks. Just react

1:12:02

quick. Number 5. You

1:12:05

can always be more specific, except

1:12:08

when zeroing in on quiet ghosts

1:12:10

and dangerous jokes. Number

1:12:12

6. You can try all you

1:12:14

want, but zilch is simply a box of vain

1:12:16

nothing. Quitting is kingly if his crown

1:12:18

is a jar of dust. So

1:12:21

very nonsensical sentences. Yes.

1:12:24

And yet when I saw the words, excitedly

1:12:26

jive in the second one, I got

1:12:29

a faint idea. And I haven't tried

1:12:31

it out yet, but the

1:12:33

wording is so bizarre that I feel

1:12:36

like it's not a bad idea. Did you

1:12:38

get anything from this, Matt? I like

1:12:40

the phrase excitedly vibe. I also like cozy

1:12:42

vibes, but no, I got nothing. So

1:12:45

it was called missing me. There

1:12:47

are a lot of letters here, in particular a lot

1:12:49

of the less common letters.

1:12:52

The good scrabble ones, as they're known.

1:12:55

But I wonder if there are, if

1:12:57

these are pangrams missing some letters.

1:13:01

Like all the letters of the

1:13:03

alphabet, minus one or two. And

1:13:06

for people at home who don't know, yes, a pangram is

1:13:08

a sentence that has every letter of the alphabet in it.

1:13:10

It's a quick brown fox. Quick brown fox, something a lazy

1:13:12

dog. Finks of quartz. Finks of quartz. Judge my vow. Yep.

1:13:16

All these sentences that have every letter. Well that's interesting. Well

1:13:18

why don't you try it out? Does one

1:13:20

have every letter? Matt you try your first sentence,

1:13:22

I'll try mine and mine together. No.

1:13:25

Denny, it's an audio media. We've got to save time. Denny,

1:13:27

it's an audio media. Please do the first one together. Whatever.

1:13:32

Okay. Aging. It's

1:13:34

got an A. Does it have a B? Gotta B. This

1:13:36

could take a while, you see. Give it a crack. Just

1:13:38

for one. D. D. D. I

1:13:40

don't see a D. Okay, that's a good start. Do you not see a

1:13:43

D? I don't see a D. In the first sentence? I don't

1:13:45

see a D in the first sentence. In number one, you don't see a

1:13:47

D? What are you talking about? Yeah, I see a D. There's a D

1:13:49

in bad. Okay.

1:13:51

Then an E. F.

1:13:54

I don't see an F. Do you not see an F? I don't

1:13:56

see an F. I don't think this is an F. Yes, yourself.

1:14:00

Dang it. No way are you kidding? Examine

1:14:02

yourself. G. Yeah you really didn't need to.

1:14:05

H. When. Quickly I.

1:14:08

J. Jams. K.

1:14:10

Quickly. L. Quickly.

1:14:13

M. Examine. N. Examine. O.

1:14:17

Yourself. Cozy. Yeah. Q.

1:14:19

Does this one have a Q?

1:14:22

Quickly. R. Yourself. F. Yourself.

1:14:24

T. Q. Is there

1:14:27

no T? R. Is

1:14:30

there T? Q. What's the likelihood a sentence does never to show that

1:14:32

there's a T in there? H. No. Q.

1:14:34

Wow that's a whole lot of words for there not to be

1:14:36

a T in there. R. There's no T. Q. There's not a

1:14:38

T. R. Wow. Q. Now just

1:14:40

to be clear, U is there,

1:14:43

V, Vibes, W, N,

1:14:45

X, Xammon.

1:14:49

H. Exammon, yes. Q.

1:14:52

Why you dead

1:14:56

cozy. Okay it was just T. Okay it has

1:14:58

one missing. H. Every letter of the alphabet other than T.

1:15:00

Q. But now here. H. I think I understand at home

1:15:02

what's going on. Q. But now here's the

1:15:04

problem. We've got sentence number two which is labeled with a

1:15:06

2. Are there going to be

1:15:08

two letters missing? How

1:15:11

hard do we have to work for each one? Or now that

1:15:13

we know that sentence one had one missing letter is it all

1:15:15

going to be one missing letter? H. Why don't you find out?

1:15:17

All right we gotta work hard with question two I

1:15:19

guess. Q. As fireworking there's no H so now I'm going

1:15:21

to the rest. R. Okay. Q. What did

1:15:23

you say there was none of? R. H's. Q. There's

1:15:26

no H in two is there? You

1:15:28

sure of that? R. No I'm never

1:15:30

sure of that. It's got the word the

1:15:32

at the start. Q.

1:15:35

Oh my gosh. R. This

1:15:37

is so hard this is my job to be

1:15:39

like oh really. Q. Wait we're counting the word

1:15:41

the as a word now. Hahaha. K.

1:15:45

L. M. N.

1:15:49

R. O. P.

1:15:51

Q. R. S.

1:15:54

T. U. V. I'll

1:15:58

just stop there I feel like it has all of them right? Yeah.

1:16:01

I don't see a W. That's

1:16:03

good. That can go off to T.

1:16:06

There is no W in sentence

1:16:08

number two, or a couple sentences. Y.

1:16:10

But there are an X, Y, Z. So, okay, that

1:16:12

was only one letter. Maybe it is only one

1:16:14

letter per thing. I will be

1:16:16

happy with that if that's true. A,

1:16:19

B, C, D. Oh,

1:16:24

I don't see an E. Have they managed

1:16:26

to do no E? I like that. That's

1:16:29

really good. Lovely. I, J.

1:16:34

Maybe no G in four? No, no,

1:16:36

no, no. Wait, there's a V. A G?

1:16:38

What about vexing? Four. You're

1:16:44

looking at four now? Yeah. You found a J.

1:16:46

Yeah, could go back to the delay, but, okay. L?

1:16:49

I don't see an L. I don't

1:16:51

see an L. Oh, good. I'm

1:16:54

gonna guess, because with only six letters, that feels

1:16:56

like only one word, so I'm guessing I know

1:16:59

what it's gonna be. Yeah. But

1:17:02

let's double check. Do we see a V in

1:17:04

number five? I don't. Beautiful.

1:17:08

And do we see an E in number six? Two

1:17:11

different lots of things without E's.

1:17:13

Dingity dang. That's amazing. Well,

1:17:15

you know what they say, Danny. You can try all you

1:17:17

want, but zilch is simply a box of vain nothing. Okay,

1:17:21

twelve. Does it mean we go to page twelve of the

1:17:23

diary now? You can head

1:17:25

to page twelve of the diary, and I just wanted

1:17:27

to say I really love that puzzle. That's really good.

1:17:30

You turn to page twelve, but it's

1:17:33

missing. For it. Well, I mean,

1:17:35

half of it is. The

1:17:38

bottom half of the page has

1:17:40

been carefully ripped out, and

1:17:42

on the remaining top half, Captain Feldman

1:17:44

rants about some rock alcove

1:17:46

that he saw at low tide. He

1:17:49

wanted to check it out someday. Said it'd

1:17:51

be a nice place to rest and watch the tide

1:17:53

come in. In the right corner, where

1:17:55

the page number would be, if this

1:17:57

was the bottom of the page, there's twenty-seven. Six

1:18:00

equals Z written neatly. That's

1:18:04

reasonable enough. There's also a poem just before

1:18:06

the tail line. It's titled,

1:18:09

Drawing Last. Okay.

1:18:12

Danny, would you like to read this poem? Sure.

1:18:15

Oh, it's got some wild enjambment here.

1:18:18

Sorry, what was that? Wild

1:18:21

enjambment. Enjambment? Enjambment. What's enjambment?

1:18:23

The way that a poem

1:18:26

lines itself and moves on to the next

1:18:28

line. You just invented a nonsense word. Like

1:18:30

the nonsense person you are. But

1:18:33

it's so wild that I will sound like Shatner if I

1:18:36

try to do it that way, but I can if you

1:18:38

like. No, no, it's John. At

1:18:41

last my time is, here

1:18:43

I arrived last night. We

1:18:45

saw each other from afar.

1:18:47

We knew what this was,

1:18:50

but we have known. There's

1:18:54

no escaping any bitch. It's

1:18:58

so wild, it most certainly is

1:19:00

important. Drawing Last, do

1:19:02

you think we need to find last letters

1:19:04

of this poem? I'm

1:19:07

gonna say perhaps not based on what I'm

1:19:09

actually seeing. That immediately

1:19:11

starts with T-S-T-W. It's

1:19:15

not that likely. At

1:19:18

last my time is here. I arrived

1:19:20

last night. We saw each other from

1:19:22

afar. We knew what this was, but

1:19:24

we have known there's no escaping any

1:19:26

bit. Any bit at the end is

1:19:28

particularly strangely worded and yet the line

1:19:30

spacing is so peculiar. It's

1:19:32

gotta be important. Yeah, the first line is just

1:19:35

like two letters. It's just act. Yep. But

1:19:38

if it's related to 26 equals

1:19:40

Z, not impossible,

1:19:42

but I don't

1:19:44

know what to do with that without translating every letter

1:19:46

into numbers and that seems wild. Yeah.

1:19:50

Matt, tell me what I should be looking for here. I

1:19:52

mean, is it, do we need to count

1:19:54

how many letters are on each line or something? Does

1:19:58

that seem like a thing? Would that do

1:20:00

anything? Counting letters on

1:20:03

each time. Drawing letters. Not

1:20:05

impossible. Be a bit annoying because there's a

1:20:07

lot of letters and counting letters in pain, but not

1:20:10

impossible. Uh, it could

1:20:12

be words as well. That would be A, D.

1:20:16

Yeah, those numbers might be too small. E. Nothing can give

1:20:18

them like four or five. But if it

1:20:20

is letters, what would that be? What would

1:20:22

it be? Well, at is just two

1:20:24

letters. So B. Now

1:20:27

give me a second. Last my time is

1:20:29

sounds like 12. The

1:20:32

12th letter is L. So

1:20:35

it's plausible. I

1:20:37

can tell you the numbers of letters, the

1:20:39

numbers of letters, and you can translate those numbers, two

1:20:42

letters if you like. Yes, please. Okay.

1:20:44

So we've got BL another third line.

1:20:49

Okay. Five. Three.

1:20:58

I think I didn't skip any of that. Three.

1:21:05

BL 21, five, 19, 15, three, 11, 19, three. So

1:21:11

what are these going to end up with? What's, what's 21? Matt

1:21:16

is trying to count. Oh yeah. Some of

1:21:18

it. Maybe he's

1:21:20

at 15. Maybe he's at three. I

1:21:22

know it's nine or seven. It could be 16,

1:21:24

15, 20. Yeah.

1:21:27

I know a couple of key letters. Um, I

1:21:30

know that M is 13, O is 15 and

1:21:32

T is 20. So

1:21:35

those are my starting points. I

1:21:37

always go P is 16 for some

1:21:39

reason. Interesting. Okay. So five,

1:21:41

I also know is E. So

1:21:45

far we have spelled blue. Don't

1:21:47

know what we've noticed that's blue so far,

1:21:49

but that's okay. It's something 19. I

1:21:54

got blue sock SC. Do you think

1:21:56

that seems correct? I feel

1:21:58

like maybe I've goofed or missed a. number that you told

1:22:00

me. Yeah, not wrong.

1:22:02

Blue socks, C. Blue

1:22:05

socks, C. We

1:22:08

know that we've seen his clothes before, so I guess

1:22:10

we look for some blue socks and see

1:22:12

if he labels them A, B and C.

1:22:15

With, you know, his three blue socks. You

1:22:19

start looking through all of his socks. They

1:22:21

don't seem to be labeled ABC or anything

1:22:23

like that, but they do all... He's the

1:22:25

guy who likes pineapples on his socks,

1:22:27

or he likes people like stars on

1:22:30

his socks. They all have different

1:22:32

images and shapes on them. Do you

1:22:34

hear them start with C or look like the letter C?

1:22:37

None of them. Well, the bananas probably look a

1:22:39

little bit like letter C, and there's one with

1:22:41

capybaras on it. I suppose they start with a

1:22:43

C. Yeah. There's nothing that matches

1:22:45

the letter C. Are they all

1:22:47

blue? You get to just the

1:22:50

blue section. He has a lot of socks. Yeah. And

1:22:52

they have all these different designs on them. There's,

1:22:55

you know, the classic

1:22:58

fruits and stars and dinosaurs.

1:23:00

There's like, oh, there's

1:23:02

one that's all these like whales with little

1:23:05

bubbles coming out and fish

1:23:07

and all this other stuff. There's

1:23:09

another pair that's a

1:23:12

bunch of skull and crossbones. There's

1:23:14

another one that's... Maybe

1:23:18

the whales are fish because they're in the sea. They

1:23:21

are in the sea. The blue

1:23:23

sea socks. That's what you look

1:23:25

at. No.

1:23:27

Okay. You

1:23:29

unroll them and

1:23:32

a piece of paper spills out. It's the other

1:23:34

half of page 12. Oh, that's very

1:23:36

good. There is no 12. Thank you, Matt. I

1:23:38

was not getting that. There is no circled number 12

1:23:40

on this one. That's already on the page that's in

1:23:42

the diary. So it's different from the other pages you

1:23:44

found because of that. Right. This

1:23:46

other half is covered with a sketch. It

1:23:49

looks like a small section of rocky

1:23:52

alcove from a bird's

1:23:54

eye view. There's two jagged

1:23:56

lines next to each other running along the middle and

1:23:58

the bottom of the skin. Does

1:24:01

it somehow match up with that draw line? You

1:24:03

take it over to the draw to see if

1:24:05

it matches up. You've already

1:24:07

noted that the draw seems to

1:24:09

match the coastline that you see below. This

1:24:13

little section you've found of a rocky

1:24:15

alcove seen from above, the

1:24:17

line next to it, the

1:24:19

jagged line, it matches right

1:24:22

up to one of the parts of

1:24:24

this section of the line.

1:24:27

It seems to slide right into

1:24:29

place. Intriguing. So

1:24:32

can we put the rest of page 12 and fit

1:24:35

it all together like that? Nothing seems to help. It

1:24:38

just sits on, just this part of page

1:24:40

12 lines up with one particular section of

1:24:42

this draw's line and shows

1:24:44

a rocky alcove. Should

1:24:47

we go out and look at the real rocky alcove

1:24:49

and see that there? You

1:24:51

go out and you look at

1:24:53

the real rocky alcove line. With

1:24:58

the details on that drawing matching up

1:25:00

to effectively a map of the coastline, you look out

1:25:02

at exactly that spot to see if you can spot

1:25:04

where the alcove should be. I

1:25:08

mean, Captain Feldman mentioned it in one of

1:25:10

his notes. Oh

1:25:12

look, you look a little further out on the

1:25:14

shore, as if where

1:25:17

it would appear at a low tide. Oh

1:25:19

of course, he said that. You

1:25:21

look down the shore and you spot it.

1:25:23

It's partially covered by water at the moment, but

1:25:26

you can see the rocks make up this little

1:25:28

alcove poking out. And you

1:25:30

also see Captain Feldman. Hey! Oh

1:25:32

boy. He splayed out on those rocks face

1:25:34

down. Oh dear. Why he up

1:25:36

and down every so often when the waves reach over the top

1:25:39

of the alcove. Great, great.

1:25:43

Looks like he hasn't been seen because he's been dead. Yeah

1:25:46

that's unfortunate, someone probably should have checked for that.

1:25:50

Well mission accomplished, question mark.

1:25:55

Now, what's left for

1:25:58

us to do except use the radio

1:26:00

to contact this suspicious, suspicious pirate

1:26:02

coast guard. We still haven't done

1:26:04

anything with those interesting drawings. Yeah,

1:26:07

or the tuner. The tuner?

1:26:09

In the fridge. Oh, I thought you meant the tuner

1:26:11

on the radio. And

1:26:16

also the what we don't know why there's a fake

1:26:19

name, right? No, not

1:26:21

really. Except that something was

1:26:23

definitely sus. He was talking

1:26:26

about some very shady dealings and getting

1:26:28

away with things. Yeah. Well, yeah, actually,

1:26:30

I think it's maybe not the worst time to

1:26:32

think about what you found out. He

1:26:34

looks like he was dealing

1:26:36

with the FBI with recorded confessions.

1:26:39

Yes. So is this the

1:26:41

sort of place that someone goes to in

1:26:43

witness protection? I mean, he does have a

1:26:45

new name. And if I was going to

1:26:47

send a witness into protection, putting him in a

1:26:49

lonely lighthouse tower where no one interacts with him

1:26:52

too often is not the

1:26:54

worst idea. That sounds terrifying for me. I would want

1:26:56

to feel safe as a witness in witness protection. Surrounded

1:26:59

by too many people. That's

1:27:03

interesting stuff. And then

1:27:05

the Rhode Island

1:27:07

evil coast guard has

1:27:10

been after him in some fashion. Or

1:27:13

they're the only ones who are trying to save him. And it's the

1:27:15

main coast guard that we haven't even seen

1:27:17

in this entire adventure that's being quite problematic.

1:27:20

Also, a big bluff is related. It

1:27:23

has been mentioned. I've not written many

1:27:26

words down from his diary entries, but

1:27:28

the ones that I found important were

1:27:30

Alcove and on a separate one on

1:27:32

page seven, Big Bluff. So

1:27:34

I wonder if that's him pretending to be somebody

1:27:36

else or if there's an actual big bluff outside

1:27:39

we should be looking at. Exactly. She

1:27:41

would be looking for a big bluff or does he

1:27:43

look like he's faking death? I

1:27:45

think the death is real. It

1:27:47

looks like based on what you found, we're

1:27:50

sort of piecing it together. Yeah. He was a

1:27:52

witness looking back to some of these

1:27:54

diaries, you seem that it looks like he was reporting on

1:27:57

the Rhode Island coast guard. Ahhh.

1:28:01

Exposing some kind of corruption or

1:28:03

fraud in there. And

1:28:05

now you think back to the people

1:28:07

who sent you on this mission. They seem to be

1:28:09

wearing Rhode Island Coast Guard patches even

1:28:12

though you were in Maine. They

1:28:14

said they'd investigated the light but it

1:28:16

was even working. But they hadn't. You're

1:28:19

not sure if you trust these people anymore and you

1:28:21

don't maybe want to radio them to get you out

1:28:23

of here. Certainly not. You don't know what they might

1:28:26

do to you if they discover that you found Feldman's

1:28:28

body but also a bunch of his old notes and

1:28:30

evidence. You might

1:28:32

need to find a different way out of here. Intriguing.

1:28:36

Alright, so it feels like

1:28:38

we shouldn't

1:28:40

jump off the balcony because it didn't go

1:28:42

so well for Feldman. But

1:28:44

it is a way out. Well they also

1:28:46

did say to radio them for a boat. There

1:28:50

might be someone else you can radio but you don't

1:28:52

know who. So

1:28:54

taking a look at things we haven't necessarily

1:28:56

used yet. It's

1:28:58

mostly that big piece of

1:29:00

paper that had all the drawings on it. You had

1:29:02

those five drawings. Lighthouse

1:29:05

sailboat scales with dot book and reset. And

1:29:07

there's one other little thing that's been noted

1:29:09

but you've never really made any relevant

1:29:12

so far. Well that's upsetting. Page

1:29:16

numbers? They have been circled quite

1:29:18

conspicuously those page numbers of the ones that you

1:29:20

found. I have circled them and we have found

1:29:22

five of the... That

1:29:26

were loose around the room. Is

1:29:30

that dot like consistent with frequencies? Where a dot

1:29:32

might be in a frequency that we're trying to

1:29:35

reach? So you don't have the dot next

1:29:37

to the scale. Yeah, yeah. You have

1:29:39

a look at a lot of the frequencies that you might be able to radio

1:29:41

are like 297.61 or

1:29:45

352.18 etc. I am full of lads.

1:29:47

Why is that make some sense? We

1:29:50

spotted that dot. Okay,

1:29:53

okay. So now we need

1:29:55

to go back. So page 135. five,

1:30:01

six and seven. Okay,

1:30:04

we need to I guess know what they

1:30:06

were about again. Yep. Sure.

1:30:09

I will try and find them. It is. So

1:30:11

seven was about the big bluff, but. I'll

1:30:14

just go in order, shall I? One, three,

1:30:16

five, six, seven. Sure. All

1:30:19

right, number one. So you've you look at that

1:30:21

circled page number one. Feldman seems incredibly calm and

1:30:23

hopeful. He goes on and on about his dreams

1:30:25

for the future, the peace and freedom he feels

1:30:27

up in this lighthouse. A

1:30:29

lot of the entries Feldman simply appreciating the view.

1:30:31

At least someone enjoys being out here. All

1:30:34

right. Does that feel like it's just the lighthouse picture?

1:30:37

I think so. Fair enough. OK.

1:30:40

All right. Page three. So this

1:30:42

page has an incredibly cocky tone. Feldman

1:30:44

was definitely feeling an abundance of confidence.

1:30:47

He talks about the FBI, something written

1:30:49

about something about written confessions and audio

1:30:51

tapes and a few and a fellow

1:30:53

witness he convinced to talk. All

1:30:55

right. Cassette Tate feels

1:30:58

reasonable. Yeah, the final

1:31:00

picture. OK. Number

1:31:02

five. It seems to

1:31:04

be Captain Feldman nervously rambling. You don't know what

1:31:06

he's talking about, but there are some mentions of

1:31:09

the FBI and the government. He mentions his duty

1:31:11

and following the law. For a

1:31:13

moment, it gets philosophical with Feldman discussing the effectiveness

1:31:15

of justice and fairness. Interesting. Then it goes into

1:31:17

a childlike tantrum with him ranting about it all

1:31:20

not being fair. You mentioned the scales

1:31:22

being like a justice thing, didn't you?

1:31:24

That's right. I'm glad you

1:31:26

know that. All

1:31:30

right. Number six, right? Yeah.

1:31:33

You can hardly understand anything Feldman is saying.

1:31:35

There are way too many mentions of conspiracy

1:31:37

theories for your comfort. Every few sentences, he

1:31:40

goes off on a tangent and you lose

1:31:42

his train of thought pretty quickly. There's a

1:31:44

lot of talk about boats and radio chatter.

1:31:46

This whole page is the written version of

1:31:48

the red string clue boards the crazy people

1:31:50

have in their basements. All right. Well, that

1:31:52

seems helpful enough. Boat. And what

1:31:54

would you expect to see in number seven? Book,

1:31:56

book. Book. One moment, Feldman will ramble about all

1:31:58

the new things he needs to learn. how it's

1:32:00

all too much. The next moment he talks about

1:32:02

how thankful he is. Then he gets nostalgic and

1:32:04

lists everything he misses. His books, his dog, etc.

1:32:06

Then he goes back to celebrating the success

1:32:09

of his big bluff. We did it. We

1:32:11

cracked the case. You cracked it. So what are you going to

1:32:13

put onto the radio? You

1:32:17

tune into 165.73. You

1:32:20

pick up the speaker and you say, hello,

1:32:22

hello, big bluff, big bluff. Is anyone

1:32:24

there? There's a lot of white noise. You

1:32:27

can make out a faint voice responding. KXO

1:32:29

983 hears you. What are your coordinates,

1:32:31

Captain? I'm no captain,

1:32:33

you say? I'm Detective Player's name. Hahahaha.

1:32:38

I'm at Bluffers Point Lighthouse. Can I get a ride out

1:32:40

of here? You explained that your

1:32:42

first ride might now be suspect in a murder

1:32:44

case. There's a pause

1:32:46

and he seems a bit confused or maybe you've

1:32:48

just startled him but he agreed. So

1:32:51

you've got a ride off the lighthouse

1:32:53

and enough evidence collected. But

1:32:56

the door's jammed. Yeah, I thought of that. Well

1:32:58

good thing we took apart that bed and we can

1:33:01

hit the door with it. What? We can build a

1:33:03

ladder to get down that lighthouse. We can build

1:33:05

a fire. Oh, can we build a ladder

1:33:07

out of bed? No but

1:33:09

we can kill the beast.

1:33:13

Kill the beast. It's not quite alive. It's not

1:33:15

quite good for a battering ramp but they are

1:33:17

long and sturdy and somewhat thin. They're slats of

1:33:19

a bed. Oh, we can lever with them? You

1:33:21

try to lever with them. You use the bed

1:33:24

front to pry open the door and

1:33:26

it flies open easily. You

1:33:28

wonder if you even needed to pry it open actually. You

1:33:30

never really tried it. You just looked at it. Maybe

1:33:33

you just weren't pulling hard enough. Whatever. It doesn't matter now. You're

1:33:35

getting out of here before someone comes looking for

1:33:38

you. I was going to use the broken fridge

1:33:40

handle. For all of the

1:33:42

evidence and you are out of

1:33:44

the room. Congratulations. Excellent. Thank

1:33:57

you. escape

1:34:00

room that we just escaped from.
