Crane and Daniel Gunther.
1:29
Attention, everyone. I've called
1:31
a meeting of team McKenna. Yes.
1:33
We know. That's why this meeting
1:35
is back at Shaili's
1:36
beach house. Are you complaining?
1:39
Oh, hell no.
1:41
This place is glorious. Thank
1:43
you. everybody, make
1:45
sure you get some cookies and try
1:47
the punch.
1:48
It's one of my dad's old recipes. And
1:51
he thinks I could check
1:53
some kick in this punch. Wine
1:55
and dash of Brandy,
1:57
several dashes
1:59
of Brandy. Dad was
1:59
a theater guy. Yeah. He knew how to throw a
2:02
party.
2:03
Clint,
2:03
do you waste a party sober too?
2:06
Yeah. You didn't know her dad.
2:09
Yeah. Don't forget the Shirley temples. Yeah.
2:11
But how often did Shirley get a little
2:13
dirty? I'd say pretty often.
2:15
I agree with the trainer.
2:17
alcohol dulls, the mind, and the
2:19
senses. I must always be ready for
2:21
my final battle. As I do not know
2:24
when that will occur, I must be ever
2:26
vigilant.
2:27
you know that you don't have to come to team
2:29
meetings. Right? Therefore, the team,
2:32
I have decided I do
2:34
not like television at the moment. So
2:36
I am here to help.
2:38
Mhmm. I did have a point
2:40
to this meeting. It's more than just cookies
2:42
and punch. Yeah. A remote pet of
2:44
tantrum. Okay people. We
2:46
still don't know if Vodan is out of commission from
2:48
the well incident. And if he is, we don't
2:50
know how long that will last. So we need to
2:52
take advantage of this reprieve by following up on
2:55
the only in we have left. Morgan
2:57
the banshee witch? No. The cult of
2:59
Voda. No. Edgar's data.
3:02
No. The master of shot.
3:05
What?
3:05
I don't think he got to finish speaking.
3:08
It's probably like the master of shaggin.
3:11
No. People take this seriously.
3:12
the
3:13
Master of shagging. They
3:16
didn't know. I mean the clue
3:18
Mamiya gave me. Read the transcripts.
3:21
Precisely, So the natural question
3:23
is,
3:24
what transcripts? Seems
3:26
like an important question.
3:28
Maybe something with the cult. A lot
3:30
of them are business men and business
3:33
meetings sometimes have transcripts. Researchers
3:35
also use transcription with interviews. I
3:38
don't think that's what I'm your men. When
3:40
I first met Vodan, I was in a courtroom.
3:42
Exactly. And if
3:44
decades of legal dramas have taught me anything,
3:46
it's that the stenographer effort is always transcribing
3:49
everything that happens in the court case for
3:51
the record. Did Arcadia's
3:54
Court Trim have a stenographer? never
3:56
saw one of those weird little typewriters,
3:58
but one of the hidden people
3:59
had a huge ass quill pen
4:02
thing he was writing with. I think he was
4:04
copying down everything. But
4:06
didn't you say the courtroom exploded?
4:08
Technically, it was all the alder's
4:11
in it who exploded. But yeah,
4:13
it's the same difference. And you escaped
4:15
a mid fiery wreckage. No
4:17
way pile of paper survived that.
4:20
The hidden people would not simply record
4:22
such important records on pieces of paper.
4:25
So magic paper then? psychic
4:28
paper?
4:29
A death note.
4:32
Maybe they laminate it later. She's
4:34
right. A scribe might record everything
4:36
that was said in the courtroom, but though the
4:38
service holds copies of every document of
4:40
the Unceiving court, It should hold transcripts
4:43
too. So even if the paper
4:45
burned up, we could find a backup in the hall
4:47
of the sagas. In theory, Mamir
4:49
wouldn't have told Alfie to read them
4:51
if they couldn't be read, so you're
4:54
probably right. Unless
4:56
he was lying and this is all a ploy to kill
4:58
us, Well,
4:59
that's why not everyone is going.
5:01
We need designated survivors. Think
5:04
people.
5:05
You were the one who invited
5:07
all of us to this meeting together. Oh,
5:11
right.
5:12
From now on, we need designated survivors.
5:14
Think people. So what are
5:17
you suggesting?
5:17
We need our big guns out here
5:19
in case Vodong wakes up and comes looking for a
5:22
fight, but we can't go in completely unarmed.
5:24
I'm going in because Amir gave me this quest,
5:27
and I happen to know where the hall of the sagas is.
5:29
And Riley is coming so she can step us out if
5:31
things get bad.
5:32
You can't step sideways between Acadian
5:34
here now that all the doors are vanished.
5:36
But we know there's a circle by the backdoor
5:38
entrance. So if we get in trouble, we
5:40
step back to that and run back into our world.
5:42
I don't like just the two of you going in.
5:46
It
5:46
will not be just the two of them.
5:48
I will accompany you on this quest, Alfie.
5:51
Yeah. That doesn't make me
5:53
feel even a little bit better.
5:56
No one here knows Arcadia like I
5:58
do. I will get you to the hall of the sagas.
6:01
And if we face danger, I'll cover
6:03
your escape. Are you
6:05
sure about this? If Alfred O'Toul
6:07
can be this brave. I can also
6:10
step up. Thanks.
6:12
I think. That was at least
6:14
sixty percent compliment. Make
6:16
sure you don't waste any time in there.
6:18
get in and get out. Don't worry.
6:21
We've got this. Does everybody know their assignments?
6:23
You literally only gave assignments to
6:25
yourself and Riley. Perfect. Go
6:28
team.
6:32
I assume she means to come back for
6:34
me. Only would it time unless
6:36
you're a mechanic I shall wait.
6:39
Hey, McKenna. I was
6:41
hoping I could talk to you. Is
6:43
something wrong? No. Just
6:47
maybe we could go back home now.
6:50
Mac, you should really go. Trust
6:54
me. Okay.
6:56
Sure. Come over to the circle.
6:59
I'll be back later, Shaili. Take
7:01
your time. I'm just going to play
7:03
in the waves in the swimsuit.
7:05
Just don't surrounding the water.
7:08
It won't be missing anything. We've
7:10
already established this, but you were
7:12
the devil. Just try to be back for
7:14
dessert. Desire. We
7:16
have dinner plans? No.
7:19
Right.
7:22
I will definitely be back for dessert.
7:25
Not even an ancient angry god
7:27
can understand that they
7:30
still pose him because they have something
7:32
to fight
7:32
for. Something they would die
7:34
for. Could
7:36
he ever say the same.
8:02
Are you both prepared in
8:04
the time since Vosan destroyed the unsealy
8:06
Court? the hip and people would have rebuilt
8:08
their defenses. Stealth is
8:10
our greatest weapon here. If we are
8:12
confronted, stay silent.
8:15
I can use their accent, but your voices
8:17
would betray you as outsiders. Won't
8:20
they recognize you, though? The
8:23
new holders will have risen from the lairs
8:25
who did not die in the courtroom. Many
8:27
of whom may not know me on-site. It
8:29
is possible, though, as
8:31
I was a more visible fetch. If
8:33
I am recognized, step sideways
8:36
back to the entrance and run. We
8:38
can't just leave you. This
8:40
is why I came as I Ed,
8:43
I will cover your escape. Yep.
8:45
Between the well of wisdom in this, it almost
8:47
feels like you want to die fighting. A warrior's
8:49
death is honorable. You would not
8:52
understand. No. I get that, planning
8:54
to go down in a blaze of glory like the final installment
8:56
of an action movie trilogy, but
8:58
you don't have to speed it along. You come
9:01
a long way. Sacrificeing yourself
9:03
heroically won't prove you're a good person
9:06
any more than living to be
9:07
heroic tomorrow. Are you
9:09
suggesting I flee from battle? Not
9:12
flee. Just don't immediately
9:14
assume every bad situation is where you
9:16
die. I know Mac doesn't exactly
9:19
show it because you're kind of for dark mirror, but
9:21
you are part of the team now. We
9:23
don't want you to die. I
9:25
am not.
9:26
But you are though, we're a family,
9:29
and you're part of it, kind of in
9:31
the brand new stepsister way, but
9:33
you're still part of it.
9:36
I do not deserve your
9:38
kindness. Nine less than this in
9:40
Mac do. That was
9:42
a sick burn. Wasn't
9:44
it? The sickest. I
9:48
am honored to fight by
9:50
your side and protect you when
9:52
you cannot protect yourselves. Come.
10:18
Fact, isn't
10:21
this place usually a lot busier?
10:24
The historical accuracy department
10:27
of the discovery channel is
10:29
busier than this.
10:30
No movement. no
10:33
activity. I don't
10:35
see anyone. Look
10:38
at the windows on those buildings over there.
10:40
all broken. And no glass outside,
10:43
all broken inward.
10:45
Someone threw rocks at
10:47
all the windows, or
10:50
maybe everyone was defenestrated. Of
10:52
course, if you throw someone through a window
10:55
into a building, would it be
10:57
refinish straight in. Past
11:00
that, the buildings look scorched
11:02
as if they were partially burned
11:04
down. Something happened here and
11:06
not recently. high city
11:09
was attacked. But the only
11:11
way in is the back door. The deaths of the
11:13
elders sealed off the other entrances. So
11:15
this couldn't have been an attack from the outside. and
11:18
uprising. Impossible. The
11:20
drudges and fetches of the undercity have
11:22
always been held in check. by
11:25
the Anne Sealy Court. Which
11:28
went boom. If
11:30
the undercity did rise up, the hall of
11:32
the sagas may not have survived. protective
11:35
magics might not hold without the court.
11:37
Only one way to find out, and
11:40
that way would be going there.
12:05
Okay.
12:10
What's the big secret? You
12:13
don't know what day it is to you. It's
12:15
Sunday.
12:18
Come on. We have to go somewhere.
12:21
The kind of place you don't teleport into,
12:23
especially not in the middle of a day.
12:35
and you're not going to tell me where we're
12:37
going. You'll figure it
12:39
out on the way.
12:45
We
12:47
take it. This is a public place,
12:49
the kind where people would recognize me.
12:52
I suppose you just expect me to make everyone
12:54
look the other way with magic.
12:57
I mean, yeah. I kinda
12:59
do. Just
13:01
make sure there aren't too many. have
13:03
limits, you know.
13:04
Don't worry.
13:06
It's usually not too crowded at this time of
13:08
day.
13:09
Alright. Places
13:11
you go that are this direction.
13:13
The grocery
13:15
store?
13:16
No. lives, what I'll do with stepping
13:18
sideways to European markets? Sam's
13:21
house. Is she back in town? No.
13:25
Still in Auckland. The
13:27
cemetery, are we going to
13:29
oh,
13:31
shit. Told you you'd figure
13:33
hear it out. It's the anniversary
13:35
of how
13:38
it does not feel like a year has passed since
13:40
that day.
13:40
It's been a blur. I
13:43
feel like the whole world is different, and
13:45
I haven't been through nearly what you have.
13:48
Yeah. I
13:49
haven't been back since fuck
13:52
since before I found out anything
13:54
about who I am.
13:55
I'm a terrible person.
13:58
You've been a little busy,
13:59
saving the world multiple times.
14:02
I think they forgive you. Yeah.
14:12
Thank
14:13
you for remembering. Not
14:15
that you'd ever forget, but
14:16
Thank you. I
14:18
was prepared to drag you kicking and screaming,
14:20
so you probably shouldn't thank me. I'm
14:24
just glad were still together, especially
14:27
on a day like this.
14:30
Parents who will never again
14:32
hold their children.
14:35
grandparents who will never meet their
14:38
grandchildren page
14:41
and Robert Thor.
14:44
You are missed.
15:15
Hold on. Will not be pleased.
15:18
When he weakens, these ones
15:20
have failed at their casts. I
15:23
struck at the fetch in her mind and sowed
15:25
the seeds of doubts. She saw
15:27
through your ruse and does not abandon McKenna.
15:30
That is the definition of failure.
15:32
Oh, master. It
15:35
seems the only ones who have been
15:37
sufficiently demoralized are
15:40
Makena and Nissa. I
15:43
broke Makena and vaudon
15:45
himself Scott Tanisha. I
15:48
wonder if there's a pattern here.
15:51
Excuse me, but Alfred
15:53
has also been demoralized by the
15:55
joint machinations of myself and
15:58
the brotherhood. Does this
16:00
one mean when that one tricked
16:02
him and stole from him?
16:05
Yes, Winston. Black Annis
16:07
agrees that the puck is also
16:10
confused. Your
16:12
dolls aren't even hear who
16:14
are you talking to? Enough
16:17
puck. You will treat the
16:19
morigna with our due respect.
16:22
Oh, believe me. I am.
16:25
Some might say I'm being generous.
16:30
We can still work the will of Vodan
16:32
in his absence. Store, I
16:34
get the weak links to
16:36
devour all the whole.
16:39
The anthrop papa guy speaks truth.
16:42
You both nauseate me.
16:45
You shade are a mere
16:47
shadow of a man. And
16:49
this headless monstrosity
16:53
Perhaps together, you could make one
16:56
useful being.
16:58
We feel the vibrations but
17:00
cannot hear the words. let
17:03
us start your lips that
17:05
we might know your truth.
17:08
You disgust me.
17:10
Quit waving your hands at the back
17:13
away. This must
17:15
be what Vodan means when he mentions being surrounded
17:17
by fools. Listen up
17:19
Jack Wagons. We must strike
17:21
another blow at them, a successful
17:24
one this time. The
17:26
puck knows that those
17:28
ones cannot be killed
17:31
so sick, vote
17:34
on.
17:35
Vonage was quite explicit about that. Trust
17:37
me.
17:38
Their spirits can be broken
17:40
without killing them. you
17:43
need only look at my encounter
17:45
with Makena to see this. I
17:48
was able to get
17:49
your hands away from me.
17:51
We feel the sounds but cannot
17:54
understand. Perhaps you will
17:56
understand this sound.
18:02
Oh, yes. We seem to
18:04
be doing very well in our God's absence.
18:07
Everything's hunky fucking gory.
18:09
Fine. We will show you all
18:12
how it's done. The morigna
18:14
will succeed again where
18:17
all
18:17
others languid.
18:59
The house has Wi Fi if you want to use your phone
19:01
or I can take your home?
19:04
No. I like watching
19:05
the ocean. listening to the waves.
19:08
It's like a white noise and she makes up for a living.
19:11
Mandy if you're doing it.
19:13
It's your beach. Is
19:16
everything okay? I'm
19:18
just thinking that
19:20
much is obvious. Yeah.
19:27
Hey, Shaili. What
19:30
does it feel like when you die? What?
19:34
I mean, I
19:36
can't stop thinking about it.
19:39
I'm gonna die soon, and
19:42
actual god decreed it.
19:45
And you've died twice, so I figured
19:47
you probably had a good idea. I
19:51
don't think it's really the same thing
19:53
considering that it's impossible to ask a human,
19:55
you're probably the next best thing.
19:59
Not that you're a thing. I Relax,
20:03
I get it.
20:06
I don't really know what to tell you though.
20:09
It's mostly
20:09
just black. and then
20:11
I was just there again. Coming
20:14
back wasn't really like waking up.
20:16
It was almost like opening
20:18
your eyes from a blink.
20:24
Well, unfortunately,
20:25
for me, I don't think I can
20:27
be brought back with that.
20:30
I'm not so much interested
20:32
in post death parts. After
20:34
life or no, it'll be what it is. It's
20:39
It's
20:39
the dying part that fixates me.
20:42
Honestly, that wasn't
20:44
as bad as you'd
20:45
think I've been shot before
20:47
with bullets,
20:48
Mindy, not iron, and that second
20:50
hurts,
20:50
like a lot. Also
20:52
had not got stripped out by the wolf,
20:54
that hurt even more. Diane
20:58
was
21:00
quicker,
21:01
simpler. It only
21:03
hurts for a moment, a half second
21:06
of pain, and then nothing.
21:09
Because you exploded. I'll
21:12
probably bleed
21:14
out slowly and ride and add me for
21:16
an hour. That's
21:18
the spirit.
21:28
We
21:29
can't win, can we?
21:31
I don't know.
21:33
I think you do. The
21:36
time
21:36
since AAMIC McKinnon has been a banner
21:38
year for Shirley being wrong.
21:41
Asid, you couldn't see for Fitch. Stop
21:43
the Majester, stop Cygnus
21:45
without killing some, defeat the
21:47
unseely court.
21:49
If I tell you we can't beat more
21:51
on and stop the whale hunt. The
21:53
odds are that Mckenna will kill him with a railway
21:55
spike.
21:57
That's where. Look at
21:59
it like this.
21:59
If he could kill us, he would
22:02
have.
22:03
He could have killed me kill it twice and didn't.
22:06
For some reason, he can't
22:08
do it.
22:10
or he makes us alive as part
22:12
of his master plan.
22:14
Either way, we're still here,
22:16
still fighting.
22:19
I can't tell you that you're not born
22:21
today,
22:22
but it can tell you if
22:24
you do.
22:25
will all be right behind you,
22:28
fighting to the last breath.
22:31
When did we become heroes?
22:34
McKenna.
22:36
I was never brave before her.
22:39
I find that horrible. It's
22:42
true. Maybe it's because
22:44
she's a half them.
22:46
Maybe it's because I'm in love with her.
22:47
Whatever
22:48
the reason, she makes the
22:50
woman to be better.
22:51
You're in love
22:53
with her. Isn't it obvious?
22:58
It's one thing for us to see it. It's
23:00
another for you to say it. I
23:02
know it. She knows it. Don't
23:05
mind if the rest of you know it too.
23:08
Vodan probably also knows
23:10
it. You'll
23:13
use it against you.
23:15
Against her. I
23:17
he surely will.
23:20
But that isn't the reason
23:22
to deny it. It is a
23:24
strength. You can use
23:26
some of strengths against them. but
23:28
the air still strengthens. When
23:31
we
23:31
finally go toe to toe, you'll
23:33
see that strength. Right
23:35
before I stick my sword up his arse,
23:38
You got a new one? I rebuilt it too
23:40
much, my last one. It comes out to Miss Lee,
23:42
so we don't have to touch the eye on. Well,
23:46
hope
23:46
when the time comes, you shove it up so
23:48
far that it comes out of his mouth.
23:51
More than likely he'll kill me before
23:53
I get close.
23:55
But like you said, I've dined
23:57
twice. What's the third time?
23:59
At
24:00
least do you have a good attitude about it?
24:03
McKinnon will bring the back. Maybe
24:06
I could be little taller next time.
24:09
Cosmetic surgery appeared dying.
24:12
And this
24:13
feels like normal reasonable logic.
24:16
Last year has really been something.
24:18
It surely has.
24:23
Well, if I'm gonna
24:25
die, there's something you need to do beforehand.
24:29
I'm gonna take you up on that WiFi offer.
24:50
I can't believe they've been gone a year. Sort
24:53
of feels like yesterday,
24:54
though it also feels like
24:56
a completely different life. I
24:59
know what you mean.
25:00
The last time I was here, I still thought
25:03
they were
25:03
my parents. they were.
25:06
You know what I mean? I didn't realize
25:08
I was
25:08
adopted better
25:12
I guess.
25:14
You know that wouldn't have
25:15
mattered to them. If
25:17
they'd known they'd have under stood you
25:20
even more. It wouldn't have changed
25:22
our family. No. It
25:24
was my mother who did that.
25:26
So you could survive.
25:28
She
25:28
did what she needed to do. Tell
25:30
that to your other
25:31
sister.
25:34
I saw what the world was like without
25:36
you in it. And I won't lie.
25:39
She had it really good. Nobody
25:42
else did, but McKenna was normal.
25:46
And I know we disagree on this, but
25:48
I wouldn't trade for that. I didn't
25:51
trade for that because her
25:53
life isn't more important than yours,
25:56
and now you both get to
25:58
live.
25:59
She has caused so much pain.
26:02
She has caused knew so much pain. I
26:05
know. She is the reason
26:07
we are standing here right now. In
26:09
some a cherry. I know.
26:12
I
26:12
know you have a soft spot for her.
26:14
You finally found your real sister. I
26:16
understand that, but that doesn't give
26:18
her a pass. That doesn't make her part
26:21
of the family. She belongs in
26:23
prison, paying for what she did to them.
26:25
That wasn't her fault. She swung
26:27
the site that killed our mom.
26:29
Yeah. A site you now used to save
26:31
lives. That is not the same thing.
26:34
No. Because that's just a tool.
26:37
She's a human being. They beat
26:39
her body down and ripped her
26:41
mind apart. And she came back
26:43
from that She took that
26:45
second chance you gave her and
26:47
she's using it. She could kill
26:49
any of us at any time. She
26:51
probably doesn't even need a reason.
26:53
You saved her. You
26:55
gave her a second chance. In the junkyard,
26:58
why can't you let her use that chance?
27:00
Her second chance was to live
27:02
in prison. That was
27:04
by necessity. We didn't know
27:06
then what we know now.
27:08
Look, I get what they did
27:10
to her. I get why she's like this.
27:13
But just because someone opposes human
27:15
trafficking king doesn't mean that they should
27:17
let murderers live in their house even
27:19
if the murderers
27:19
were brainwashed at the time. You
27:22
know that night before before we went to
27:24
the junkyard. I asked if
27:27
you were fighting for your life and
27:29
you said you were fighting for hers.
27:31
At first, I thought you meant Shaili, but
27:34
I realized as you
27:36
laid out your plan that you met the other
27:38
Makena. You
27:39
were fighting for her life. Why?
27:43
So she could sit in prison. You
27:46
risked every things so she could go
27:48
to jail?
27:49
She deserves punishment for what she did.
27:52
Don't
27:52
you think she's been punished enough?
27:54
A few months in prison is barely any. thing.
27:56
That wasn't what I meant her
27:59
entire life has been punishment.
28:02
Look what she's done with the opportunity to
28:04
find redemption,
28:04
watch Netflix. Help.
28:09
She wants to help.
28:11
She's
28:11
been offering suggestions and ideas.
28:14
She went with us to the well.
28:16
Yeah, to give us painless deaths.
28:18
Sure. She said that, but what did she
28:21
do? When Riley and Shaili
28:23
got Missa and I out, she stayed with
28:25
Alfie.
28:26
She was ready to die to cover our
28:28
escape. And just today, she
28:30
went along to protect Alfie and
28:32
Riley. She's really be trying.
28:37
Yeah. I
28:39
guess, I
28:40
know you know it. And
28:42
I'm sure this isn't easy for you.
28:45
You probably feel guilty for
28:47
what she's been through. and
28:50
you hate her for what she did. I
28:52
feel my own versions of all of that.
28:55
Did you really bring me here just to talk about
28:57
her?
28:59
I brought you here because this headstone
29:01
says Thorne, that's who
29:03
you are, who I am,
29:06
and who she is. Don't
29:09
you think if they could talk
29:11
to us right now? They'd ask
29:13
you to watch over their other daughter to
29:15
help her.
29:17
Of course, they would. Of
29:20
course,
29:20
they would.
29:22
Yeah. You're
29:24
right.
29:25
I think shocker there. I'm
29:28
sorry. Yes. been a jerk to her. I'm
29:31
not the one you should apologize to.
29:34
Oh, buddy. If you think I would say that
29:36
to her face, you really don't know me at all.
29:38
Yeah.
29:38
I guess I can't expect both
29:41
of my sisters to wanna be better people.
29:44
You
29:44
realize I have superpowers and can
29:46
publicly
29:46
humiliate you in so many ways.
29:49
But you wouldn't. Countless
29:51
ways, Thomas, countless ways Come
29:54
on. Come on. Let's say goodbye
29:56
and get to Shailies. I wanna be there
29:58
when they get back from Arcadia.
30:36
We are here, the hall of the sagas.
30:39
we should hurry. The desolation unnerves
30:41
me. Okay. Well,
30:44
good news. The hall of the sagas is here
30:46
and appears to be intact. However,
30:49
good news. None of the hidden
30:51
people are anywhere in sight.
30:53
I see your good news
30:55
and raise your hand. and
30:57
a
30:58
Find your transcripts.
31:01
I'll keep watch.
31:08
Would the undercity really rise up to destroy
31:10
the hidden up here? The undercity are
31:12
the broken and they're rejected. outcasts,
31:16
the drags of the hidden society, drudges
31:19
and discarded fetches mostly. Some
31:21
of the equities lived on the edge of the undercity,
31:24
the lesser ones, but
31:26
the world that they had in people is very organized
31:28
into classes. The lower classes
31:31
were treated terribly. in some
31:33
cases worse than fetches. So
31:35
the answer to your question is
31:38
yes. The undercity has
31:40
many reasons to revolt.
31:42
So we would say the hidden people
31:44
are revolting.
31:47
oh
31:48
healthy. I just
31:50
made a dad joke. I'm
31:52
losing my head. Sure.
31:55
I thought it was actually funny.
31:57
focus
31:58
whether the undercity destroyed
31:59
the lairs or civil war rages
32:02
on elsewhere in Arcadia. we cannot
32:04
remain here for long. Even a band
32:06
of roaming fetches could be deadly. Okay.
32:09
You do realize this isn't the supply
32:11
closet of the sagas. Right? It could
32:14
take these to find what we need. Do
32:16
you think
32:16
they use the Dewey Desimal System?
32:19
I don't see any codes or numbers on
32:21
any of their stuff.
32:23
Well, how did the hidden people find
32:25
anything in here then? They must have a
32:27
system.
32:29
Hang on. Alfie, what's
32:31
that book you've got?
32:33
Something about Mesopotamia.
32:40
They do have a system.
32:47
Okay. Their their
32:49
complex planning system
32:50
is oldest to newest.
32:52
Seriously? To
32:55
the hidden people age is extremely important.
32:58
I am not surprised that this would be their primary
33:01
criteria.
33:02
That transcript has to be the last thing they added
33:04
to the hall.
33:05
So it would just be
33:08
at the other end
33:09
Race you there.
33:30
Well,
33:33
I've read through the entire trial. It
33:36
took hours and I'm exhausted. But
33:38
it was kinda neat to relive our big hero moments
33:40
from last year. Also,
33:42
this confirms that Vodan knows everything
33:45
because wow, the levels of detail.
33:48
Not helping us feel better. Did
33:50
you find anything helpful in there? Most
33:53
it was just what happened to all of us. I
33:56
do have to apologize though. I
33:58
read a lot of private conversations
33:59
that people had I
34:02
spent most of the last year with you, so
34:04
you saw and heard most of my experiences
34:07
firsthand.
34:09
Wait. Like
34:10
every private conversation? He
34:12
didn't include
34:13
everything. Just what was relevant
34:15
to his story.
34:16
Good.
34:17
Don't worry. Shaley. He only
34:19
had a little bit about the night Mac brought you back
34:22
to life before it all faded to black. Yep.
34:24
That's enough of that. Did
34:26
you learn anything useful beyond spying on us?
34:29
Only one thing that seemed to fit with what Hamir
34:31
said and what we're trying to figure out about Vodan,
34:34
and it involves me, so it makes sense
34:36
that Mamir gave the quest to me.
34:38
What was it? He's just dragging
34:40
it out to make it more dramatic. Give
34:43
him space he earned this victory.
34:46
When Elsha captured Nisea and I and we squared
34:48
off against the magister, I lied
34:50
to him, and Elsha said I was telling the
34:52
truth. And she's an inquisitor, so
34:55
she would know. I
34:56
remember you telling us about that.
34:58
Where does that matter though we already knew
35:00
it
35:00
happened? Exactly.
35:03
and you also lied to rob and good fellows
35:05
successfully when you were at the cult mansion.
35:08
So in conclusion, Alfie
35:10
has super hours.
35:12
How is any of this helpful?
35:13
The answer isn't in me
35:15
lying to the Manchester or Tricking Elsha
35:18
or Robin for them had It's
35:20
later when we told the story to you and
35:22
Thomas.
35:23
Right. We were at Nissa's apartment
35:26
the day after birthday. I
35:28
made cake.
35:29
Vollon skipped the retelling, but he had
35:31
the rest of it exactly right, down to
35:33
every little thing we said, all about
35:36
how Mac should us chili again.
35:37
This was after you had learned about me
35:40
working for the mudster.
35:41
Vodan interjected though, eated
35:44
that little throughout the entire transcript almost
35:46
like he was talking directly to us some
35:48
of the time. That's disturbing. I
35:51
actually found it to be a really effective storytelling
35:53
device. Mac. After
35:56
you asked me, how did you trick
35:58
her, vote on interjected?
35:59
acted
36:01
That's what I would like to know.
36:03
Something he didn't know. Correction.
36:06
The only thing he didn't know
36:09
in
36:09
the entire transcript
36:11
or at least the only thing he admitted
36:14
to not knowing.
36:15
Oh, this is huge.
36:17
A gap in his knowledge. Also,
36:20
the second
36:20
time this has happened if you count the recent
36:22
incident with Nisha's computer.
36:24
But what do these things have in
36:26
common? I'll see.
36:28
Yeah?
36:29
No. The thing in common
36:32
is you healthy. Vodan
36:34
didn't know how you could lie to Elsha
36:36
successfully. and he also
36:38
didn't know what was happening when you were pinging my
36:40
computer. You're the
36:42
common element here. Me.
36:45
I'd like like to again float the idea that
36:48
Alfie has superpowers. Alfie,
36:51
you're wonderful. Yeah. but
36:53
you can't outgrow God. None
36:56
of us can. But how else do you explain
36:58
this? I don't know what
37:00
the must be an explanation.
37:03
Yeah. It's what my meter wants us
37:05
to figure out. But so
37:07
far all we know is that alfia is hella confusing
37:10
to vote Well,
37:12
it's back to the grindstone forest. Together,
37:15
we'll figure it out. I'm
37:18
going to back out of the for a day or
37:20
so. There's something I need
37:22
to do before I
37:25
you know. In
37:27
case Vodan's knowledge is infallible.
37:30
That's fine, nissa. Whatever you need.
37:34
Research and ideas are not a part
37:36
of my skill it. I would like to
37:38
try watching television again, but
37:40
no more sick comps. You may call
37:42
for me if you need me.
37:44
No problem. You learned a break too.
37:47
Thank you for watching over Alfie and Riley.
37:49
I you
37:52
are welcome.
38:00
Did you just thank
38:02
her. I'm
38:04
growing as a person. Check
38:06
out my much larger person
38:09
Thank you for thanking her, McKenna.
38:12
I really appreciate you trying.
38:13
No. This is really
38:26
What is wrong? I'm
38:28
gonna have the rest.
38:30
What is this?
38:32
A sporting event. in a large
38:34
arena. Where's the singer?
38:37
They are showing the sports players. They're
38:40
all holding their chest. Who
38:42
is singing the fucking song?
38:45
Wrong Mckenna. Shit
38:48
that voice.
38:50
There, it's her. It's Morgan.
38:53
Why is Morgan seeing the national anthem
38:56
march madness? Big basketball
38:58
fan. Everybody's got a bracket. Shipped
39:02
fucking
39:02
cameraman pant out. show
39:05
the court need to see a circle. Or
39:07
are you just gonna step sideways into
39:09
televised arena? I have to.
39:11
She would only go there to do something horrible.
39:13
If I don't see you.
39:15
Thank you.
39:17
I am pork.
39:19
And this
39:21
is pork.
39:48
Oh, no. Gosh.
39:54
The
39:54
picture has stopped.
39:56
No. The camera stopped
39:58
rolling. You you saw
40:00
what happened. Right? The entire
40:03
building came down. I
40:05
am very against hidden people dropping
40:08
buildings on humans. This
40:10
one wasn't just on you. That
40:13
arena was packed, all those people.
40:16
She did this for us.
40:19
She's calling us out. How
40:21
would she know we'd even be watching? She
40:24
knew we would see it. life
40:26
or after I went viral. This
40:28
is it. They're retaliation for
40:31
what I did to vote on. This is what
40:33
I get for trying to fight back. This
40:35
is what happens when we try.
40:37
I'm
40:39
gonna kill her. This
40:42
isn't like the movies. This
40:43
isn't McKenna needing to learn her lesson
40:46
about killing, monsters
40:48
need to die. but
40:50
this monster was unstoppable
40:53
during their last encounter. McKenna
40:56
is going to need a lot more than just
40:58
anger and determination to beat her.
41:01
She's
41:01
going to need help.
