Langley Main Roadhouse was

0:07

haunted by a monster blade last night. but

0:10

what was Frank Crody up to? And

0:13

how will what he encounters deep in the

0:15

woods shaped how he sees the town's

0:17

increasing layers of mystery. And

0:20

with such supernatural monsters proll

0:22

in the town, how are the human monsters

0:24

in his high school evolving? We'll look

2:06

Hi. This is Fred Greenhold, your

2:08

host of Undertone, Realm's podcast,

2:10

taking you under the surface. and into the weird

2:13

and the wicked. Also, the creator

2:15

of the werewolf waken nightmare podcast

2:17

we're experiencing blood for

2:19

us. This show was written by a

2:21

four person writing team, and last time

2:23

you heard some weird anecdotes from Emma and

2:25

Morgan, here's what one of our other writers,

2:27

Sean French, had to offer. So

2:30

in an earlier incarnation of the show,

2:32

we had much more of backstory on

2:34

Smooza, Grandma Marie's Pet moose,

2:36

which was based on a real story from John's

2:38

piloted. You see back in the early

2:40

eighties, Game Wardens brought a baby

2:42

moose whose mother had been killed by hunters

2:45

to the farm of Sean's grandparents in

2:47

Northern Maine. Sean fed her out of a

2:49

bottle when she was just a calf and she ended up

2:51

growing to a healthy thousand pounds

2:53

then proceeded to live a full healthy life

2:55

in their farm and was a local tourist attraction

2:57

in Rooster County, Maine. That

3:00

is definitely a different podcast,

3:02

waiting to happen, Sean, just putting out there.

3:05

And while that story of Smusa is

3:07

a bit cute and cuddly, generally, Sean's

3:10

work is is not. I

3:13

first met him when experiencing his

3:15

indie revenge horror movie, The Wrong

3:17

House, which he wrote in Stars Inn

3:19

and is a parable about why you should not

3:21

break into scary looking houses in rural

3:23

main, steal all their stuff and not return it

3:25

when they ask you nicely. Just just

3:28

don't do it. And, yeah, wrong house is

3:30

a great recommendation if you want to check out

3:32

a indie horror movie this spooky season.

3:35

So before we get in, remember, things

3:37

get edgy here in the blood forest, buckle

3:39

in for heavy metal ride through circles

3:41

of violence and trauma, and what happens when

3:43

ordinary people confront them. This

3:45

podcast is for mature audiences. It

3:47

features graphic violence, bullying,

3:50

strong language, and other scary

3:52

things. Listen if

3:54

you dare.

4:08

Thanks for keeping me company again, Ram.

4:10

Sempra fight.

4:14

doing my best over here. And

4:16

I gotta tell you, man. I'm

4:19

not doing so great on this

4:21

getting my shit together from. I'm

4:24

too fucking scared to go to sleep.

4:27

Feel like I'm I'm dreaming, standing

4:30

up, I I used to

4:32

sleep like a baby. You remember that? It

4:34

was all you who woke up shouting

4:36

hard.

4:37

What's

4:39

that? Grap.

4:43

What are you doing, Marie? Oh,

4:47

no. I'm actually stranded there somewhere.

4:50

4:56

5:01

Come on inside. It's

5:03

pitch black out. It will fall down and hurt

5:05

yourself. You need your rest. It's

5:08

time.

5:09

Isn't it? They're gathering in the

5:11

forest. Same there.

5:14

One by one you see them in your dreams,

5:16

moon dreams, blood dreams, the

5:18

moon. It is time.

5:20

I I think that That was just

5:23

another set of jackasses laying off

5:25

fireworks. Come on in Marie.

5:27

Come on. Let's get you inside.

5:34

Marie, you know what I'm calling

5:37

5:39

it too. Something's happening. Can

5:41

you feel it? It's

5:43

just some coy wolves.

5:44

They're singing to the moon.

5:47

thinking about the hunt and

5:49

freedom and blood and the

5:51

cracking of bones and their jaws

5:54

is suck thoughts and dreams

5:56

and memories from the marrow and

5:58

that is how they remember the

6:01

forest and the moon

6:03

You shouldn't be out in your stomach.

9:42

You're fucking

9:59

But you're Geez.

10:02

Fuck, Frank. Can you just take my

10:04

hand?

10:05

Oh. And

10:09

the kids from school wonder why I don't go

10:17

be back to the house. Let's get you some

10:19

Get it together.

10:27

Here. A plate of eggs.

10:30

breakfast at midnight.

10:33

It's

10:33

almost four of rank besides

10:35

it's the thing Remy and I used to do.

10:38

He said, best part of adulthood

10:40

is getting to do whatever you want. The

10:42

rest is bills and bullshit. Yeah.

10:46

That sounds like him. You

10:49

can't live like this, Frank. You need

10:51

help. You don't

10:52

help me. I know

10:53

you're keeping secrets for me. Look.

10:58

I get it.

11:01

Here

11:01

I am showing up out of the blue with

11:04

this terrible news about your cousin,

11:06

and now you're American, can't get his name out of

11:08

her mouth, thinks I'm him. And

11:10

she's fading like a polaroid and

11:12

it's fucking up your plans to get out of this shit

11:15

hole. I

11:16

didn't say that.

11:19

You deserve better than this place.

11:21

I thought you'd let me help. I could

11:23

take care of her, but instead of just

11:26

get out of here where you

11:28

can. Make

11:29

something of yourself.

11:30

Did ever occur to you that being here might be

11:33

enough? What

11:33

about the city? I you're

11:36

big dreams with t

11:38

k or whoever?

11:40

KT and what the fuck,

11:43

Frank. You don't understand me.

11:45

Don't don't you dare?

11:48

Look, if you want my

11:50

advice, take John Saint Clair up on his

11:52

offer. Sell this place. Burn

11:54

the memories. Put your grandma in a

11:56

good home and say goodbye to all

11:58

this. go live the life you deserve.

12:00

I

12:01

wasn't asking for your advice, Frank, fucking

12:03

help. Enjoy the coffee.

12:05

Eva.

12:08

Hey, Eva. Well,

12:12

at least I had plenty of time to get the

12:14

work.

12:26

This is a

12:26

good spot. Hey, Tommy.

12:29

How many is that? We

12:32

have three more. I

12:35

every fucking Internet's place

12:37

covered. Damn

12:39

it. I thought I was too early for biting

12:41

blood sucking things. Weather

12:44

patterns are changing. Next

12:46

year, they'll be up by Valentine's Day.

12:51

I guess, winter has its benefits.

12:54

Fuck. Come on. Who

12:56

pissed in your cheerios? I

12:58

didn't get much sleep. I

13:00

think we're past dementia now where he's

13:02

gone straight up looney tunes, going

13:04

on about blood woods and moon

13:07

and bones and shit. That

13:10

sounds like how my dad was towards

13:13

the end. he

13:16

kept getting up, wandering out of his

13:18

room, screaming at the woods like they

13:20

had something to scream back at

13:22

him. First time I ever heard

13:24

him speak in Vietnamese, mom

13:27

told me it was talking to people who died in

13:29

the war. Jesus.

13:33

Yeah. They

13:35

deserve better than to go out like that.

13:38

After all, he did for me and my family,

13:40

but What are

13:42

you gonna do? Right?

13:45

Alright.

13:46

Alright. you

13:49

ever wonder what that other

13:51

building is over there? It's

13:53

weird that Claude never mentioned it. Right?

13:55

Is it another grow house?

13:58

I don't man. See Vans driving

14:01

in and out sometimes, but it's strictly

14:03

off limits. Things

14:05

tend to happen. The people who ask too many

14:07

questions Or

14:10

is your sense of adventure? Come on.

14:12

Let's put a camera up on it.

14:15

your fucking funeral, dude.

14:23

shit. Hey. Clyde's coming up the

14:25

road. We're not even supposed to be in this

14:27

area. Black

14:29

man. you work here.

14:31

Did he

14:31

not tell us to put up these cameras? Well,

14:34

we're sure as hell not supposed to be

14:37

owned. This ain't even from his dispensary.

14:40

Alright. Just lay flat army

14:42

style. No way he'll see us

14:43

blow this red blood.

14:53

Well, How

14:57

much lithium are we talking?

15:00

Let

15:01

me worry about the extraction

15:04

process and what it'll

15:06

ruin. People around

15:08

here wanna stop progress to

15:10

protect freaking birds

15:12

and frogs, but That's

15:15

my worry. Oh,

15:18

and I thought I told

15:20

you to keep a low profile.

15:23

Uh-huh. Yeah.

15:26

So did I or did

15:28

I not see your vehicle

15:30

parked outside the roadhouse last

15:32

night? Well, fuck

15:35

me sideways then. Burgers

15:38

aren't some magical

15:40

loophole to my orders. I thought

15:43

I was clear. Don't

15:46

mingle with the locals. Did

15:48

you even read your contract, violate

15:50

the terms, you lose your bonus.

15:52

Yep. Yes.

We got the results back

16:25

on all the properties.

16:27

all positive or

16:30

listening. The only one left

16:32

to check is the Bellatir Place, and I

16:34

am determined to buy that one.

16:36

16:41

data as soon

16:41

Okay. I'll have Saint Clair write

16:55

up the estimates and all. Yeah.

16:59

A fuck

17:05

17:07

You did say pelletier. Right?

17:10

Yeah. He did. And now

17:12

you've made a party to information. I

17:14

did not wanna fucking know,

17:17

Frank. You don't wanna know if the boss is up to something?

17:20

Frank, this is a fucking

17:22

pot plantation built on an old

17:24

paper mill site where we only tag about

17:26

half the trucks that pass

17:28

through, there's a lot of something the

17:30

boss is up to, and the less I know,

17:32

the safer I am. Help

17:35

me make sure that

17:37

camera's working. Yeah. Clyde's

17:40

17:43

Thanks, Zoe.

22:04

Don't

22:04

thank me. I'm not putting

22:06

up with that. How

22:08

are you doing, Eva? You look upset.

22:10

Right. It's Rein.

22:11

Hey, Zoe.

22:13

Question for you. How much do

22:15

you know about vampires in Maine?

22:18

nothing because there are no vampires

22:20

in Maine. Wrong. There

22:22

are four documented. Okay. Seriously,

22:25

I thought were going to karaoke at the roadhouse, not going on

22:27

van housing on a Tuesday. We are,

22:29

but I figured I'd make the most of

22:31

my time. Mhmm. You always have some cool

22:33

book to show me. you

22:35

must have a few vampire ones. I'm already starting

22:38

my alien Halloween series,

22:40

vampires, aliens, goes,

22:43

mermaids, spiders, mummies,

22:45

and bear boys. And

22:46

and last but not least,

22:48

alien werewolves, fess up.

22:51

You know, I've had a dozen

22:53

requests for were of episodes on this

22:55

town -- Okay. -- just this morning.

22:57

What is up with that? People

22:59

got good imaginations. What

23:01

can those say? Keeps me in business. There

23:03

are plenty of local legends to go with the

23:05

old silver mines. Silver mines?

23:08

Why

23:08

have you never told me about this?

23:10

Because it's

23:11

been over for almost two

23:14

hundred years, nearly

23:16

forgotten. You know,

23:17

there's one on my property. For

23:20

real? It's kind of my

23:22

secret quiet place. I go there and I need

23:24

time to myself. It's underneath

23:26

this old

23:26

church on the property. So many

23:29

questions. What happened to the mine?

23:31

And why

23:31

is there a church? Mamairuses

23:34

are Great great something or

23:36

other grandfather built it to celebrate the good fortune

23:38

of the silver and to rub it in the

23:40

nose of the protestants. and

23:43

we think they used it like twenty

23:45

years. Then I guess the silver

23:47

ran out and the industry collapsed. By

23:49

then, they built the new church out on River

23:51

Road. Wow.

23:54

Eva, you ever seen

23:57

or hear any

23:58

ghost or anything in

24:00

there? Just the

24:00

silence. It's nice.

24:03

Sunil

24:03

aliens? Not

24:05

yet. Alright. It's officially closing

24:08

time and your girl needs a mojito.

24:10

24:54

24:56

What do you want Becca?

24:59

25:01

head into a brick wall.

25:04

Was there something

25:06

25:08

librarian isn't to protect you?

25:11

No. What? She

25:13

25:15

26:52

Frank? Yeah. I do. and drop

26:55

it, please. Let's go home.

27:00

The French, of

27:02

course, did not call

27:03

the werewolves. But

27:06

instead, the blue garule.

27:07

And unlike Hollywood werewolves,

27:11

they don't rely on the moon to

27:12

change. Some believe that it's

27:15

genetic. Some believe that it can

27:17

be suppressed with the silver

27:19

talisman. They're both police too.

27:21

Head with them. Most gentlemen, unbelievable.

27:23

have their own For example, in

27:26

this tiny four is

27:27

down. It's not

27:29

your problem, Frank, or should

27:31

I say

27:33

REMY? If you don't

27:34

wanna talk about that shine are growing

27:36

on your eye? What do you wanna talk

27:39

about? With you, nothing.

27:41

Okay.

27:43

I'll talk then.

27:47

So what do you know

27:49

about lifting? Are

27:52

you serious? Yeah. I'm talking to you

27:54

guys.

27:55

Lithium, as in one of the most

27:58

valuable rare earth metals that

28:00

exists, you

28:00

need it for cellphones, laptops,

28:02

left

28:03

your cars?

28:05

That

28:07

actually

28:07

makes sense. What

28:10

does? What

28:12

walker's up to?

28:14

He's he's buying a property. He's

28:16

hoping to find lithium Mhmm. All

28:17

he's ever wanted to do is buy up

28:20

the town. Mimera says he's

28:22

never forgave us Quebecois for out farming

28:24

his ancestors. Olivi's

28:27

sold. Really? Making

28:30

us the

28:30

last hundred year farm in the town.

28:33

Can you ask your phone to pull up

28:35

an article see if

28:35

there's anything about this out there? No.

28:38

No, I can't. They broke it.

28:41

Wait.

28:41

What? That's a little batches,

28:44

you need that phone. I've got

28:47

insurance. I'll have a new one by

28:49

tomorrow.

28:49

Yeah. But that's not the point. If they're going

28:51

that far

28:52

oh, shit. shit.

28:54

What the fuck?

28:56

Oh, what fat smell?

28:59

Someone dumped their trash over the

29:01

yard or a lot of someone's.

29:03

What? How much? Oh, I

29:06

can smell

29:07

29:11

29:11

care of it. Go on. Go

30:34

funny. You

30:35

look like you're gonna shoot thunderbolts from

30:36

30:39

it begin? My name is Becca

30:41

Cartif and everybody's beating up EVA up front

30:43

of the library or me having to clean

30:45

Cow heads. Definitely start with the

30:49

30:53

She's okay. She got back as a

30:56

piece

30:56

of work. That apple didn't fall far

30:58

from the tree, full of

31:01

of worms.

31:01

I

31:03

need a beer. Hey, Frank. Maybe

31:05

take it easy tonight.

31:09

Havening Frank?

31:12

31:12

obliged, Bobby. How's

31:15

work going? Amazing.

31:18

I found an old article from

31:21

the Oh, you mean Frank? Go

31:23

ahead, Alex. Well,

31:25

there's

31:25

a mysterious slight in the

31:27

woods. Catalyst decapitation and

31:30

I'm getting some more requests about the

31:32

incidents that happened back in the eighties and

31:34

early two thousands. Some of my

31:36

think it's related.

31:37

The incidents.

31:40

Hey, Hank. Hey.

31:42

Hey. So what

31:44

happened? He murdered thirteen

31:46

people. House of sheriff. Daddy took

31:48

him down. May

31:51

he rest and hell? or

31:54

you could listen to the

31:55

podcast I just did on it. There

31:57

was also a string of disappearances in the

31:59

nineteen sixties. I couldn't find anything on the

32:02

Langley Gazette our guys, but something

32:04

happened that no one in this town is willing

32:06

to speak about. I tried to ask Zoe's

32:08

dad about it once, but he turned pale

32:10

and

32:10

started praying. don't be run-in

32:12

your mouth about all that.

32:15

The pharaohs learn we've been spreading

32:17

the word, they'll get agitated.

32:20

Sheryls? It was a serial

32:22

killer. k? Guy out of Boston, killed thirteen kids

32:24

out of the senior pet party. He

32:27

was a monster for sure. but there

32:29

was nothing supernatural about

32:31

it. Hold up.

32:34

Alex, have you been recording this

32:36

whole time? What?

32:37

No. Of course not. I was just

32:40

looking up a yummy

32:42

recipe. Delete it. Hello.

32:44

stop. He's doing what I

32:45

Delete. Hey. Delete it.

32:47

If you like Audi of me shot in hand talking

32:49

32:52

career effectively over. So

32:54

here. Nope. No. No. No.

32:56

No. Give me your phone.

32:59

Yo. I wasn't going to post it. She's

33:02

right. Bobby, we'll take

33:04

another round. On her.

33:07

Then I'll be joining you

33:09

to the beast. May he

33:11

burn in hell?

33:17

oh

33:33

Hi

33:34

Frank. Hey.

33:36

Mitsa. Closing

33:39

time. Oh. They seem to be

33:41

the last two here, and

33:44

it's it

33:47

gets lonely,

33:48

you know. lemonier,

33:51

pretending to go on, like, things

33:53

are normal. You know

33:55

what I mean?

33:56

mean Yeah.

33:58

Yeah. I I

34:00

feel that. There's

34:04

sometimes I I

34:06

wanna just don't know. I

34:08

feel feel something again,

34:10

a warm body next

34:14

to mine. Sounds

34:18

nice. And since you

34:20

probably shouldn't be driving anyways,

34:23

I was thinking What

34:26

do you say? My beliefs?

34:30

Oh. Yeah.

34:34

That sounds pretty

34:38

good.

35:01

Here you

35:08

go. I'll I'll

35:10

walk back through the woods. Oh, okay.

35:12

Are you are you sure?

35:15

No. It's not that far.

35:17

You know what I could you

35:19

some time to think. And

35:22

besides, I I wanna stop and

35:24

spend some time

35:26

with him. Right. Well,

35:28

ah

35:29

thanks for

35:34

everything.

35:34

Oh, let's

35:37

let's not get ourselves

35:40

detached. I'm I'm not I'm

35:42

not ready

35:44

for that.

35:44

What the

35:50

fuck, Frank?

35:52

What? Bobby? What

35:55

about her?

35:56

You and you

35:59

just

35:59

cussed me. Best

36:02

part of adulthood is getting to do

36:05

whatever you want, Eva. The rest

36:07

is bills and bullshit. And

36:10

to think I was going

36:12

to

36:12

ask you for help with something? What? Forget

36:15

it. No. No.

36:18

Please.

36:19

How about

36:21

you teach me to fight? Wait.

36:24

What? Didn't you used

36:25

to teach some hand to

36:27

hand? Oh, yeah. But I've never

36:29

taught AAA

36:31

blind girl. I'm not made of

36:33

China, you know. No. I

36:36

I know. I just You

36:38

need to understand Eva. Fighting

36:41

isn't a game. I I

36:43

don't wanna make you overconfident. there's

36:45

no chance of that. Believe me. That isn't what

36:47

I meant. Thinking you know

36:49

more than you do can be more

36:51

dangerous than knowing nothing.

36:54

I can't transform you into some superhero that just

36:56

levels everyone. I'm not talking about

36:58

going around and

36:59

busting heads. I just want

37:01

to not feel

37:04

so helpless. You

37:05

know, the best defense for

37:07

women is sometimes. Run,

37:10

I know. Because when we

37:12

can't outfight our attackers, our best bet

37:13

is to haul us and leave them

37:16

behind. I

37:16

can't do that though. Can

37:20

I? Okay. Okay. Yeah. If that's

37:22

what you want, I can I can

37:24

teach you some things. Let's let's

37:26

go over to the lawn right here.

37:30

Okay. So what do we do?

37:32

I'm gonna have to ask

37:34

you some stuff that might

37:37

be a little uncomfortable. you

37:39

trust me? I mean,

37:42

as far as this game

37:44

goes? Yeah. Of

37:46

course. Alright. Good.

37:48

First thing first, I need to

37:50

know how well you can actually see. Can you

37:52

can you see it all? Not

37:55

really blurred shadows. I

37:57

can read a little with a

37:58

magnifier, better if

37:59

it's large print. Okay.

38:02

Reach out and touch

38:04

my nose. Oop. Okay. Good.

38:07

And again, boop. Okay.

38:12

So you

38:13

can track some

38:14

basic movement. You may notice a shadow

38:16

or movement. Good. Now, glasses

38:20

off. But I can't You

38:22

can. Hang on. I'll set those down over here.

38:24

Okay. We're gonna learn this technique by

38:26

feel. So if some ass hole,

38:29

aka Becca, knocks your glasses off, you

38:31

can still defend yourself. Okay.

38:34

Now shove me as hard as

38:36

you can.

38:36

Welcome

38:38

to judo, the gentle art

38:40

of hitting someone with a fucking planet.

38:43

That throw is called Egooshi, and

38:45

you're about to learn it.

38:47

Really? You think I can

38:49

do that? You

38:50

can. Look, the

38:51

thing about goalies is they always

38:54

expect their target to

38:56

retreat backwards. The best way to defeat a more powerful opponent is to

38:58

use their overconfidence against

39:00

them. So when I push

39:02

every instinct in your body will

39:04

tell you

39:06

to step backwards and retreat. Instead, you're going

39:08

to spin toward me and use my momentum

39:10

against me. So bring your

39:12

left hand off like this and grab my right

39:14

shirt sleeve.

39:16

a real grip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Now,

39:18

you're gonna use my strength against me

39:20

when I push. Instead of backing away,

39:23

Keep that tight grip and spin with the momentum

39:25

so your back is right up

39:27

against me. Now, yank my arm forward while throwing

39:29

your hip into me like your hands are full.

39:31

and you're trying to hit check that heavy barn door. No.

39:34

No. Oh, girl.

39:36

Alright. Holy shit. I did it.

39:40

Not bad. Not bad at all. Alright.

39:42

Now, we're gonna do it a little faster and

39:44

this time don't let go of my

39:46

arm when we hit the

39:48

ground. Instead, You're gonna slide

39:50

your grip down the outside of my arm until you

39:52

reach my pinky. Wrap your fist

39:54

around it and apply backward pressure

39:56

until your bully apologizes

39:58

and begs you to stop. I like the

39:59

sound of this

40:01

already.

40:03

Alright. Back to one.

40:05

Let's run it again. Next

40:07

time Becca pushes you, you're going to plant her

40:10

in the ground like a fucking tool

40:12

up and

40:14

go. during

40:17

that. Alright. Not the window.

40:20

Oh. Wait. What the

40:24

Been there. She's

40:29

okay. What are

40:32

you doing? They come

40:34

in through the windows. Who

40:36

comes in the windows? They

40:38

do. It's

40:38

starting again.

40:40

What's starting, Emera? the

40:42

hunt, the clear stars,

40:45

took

40:45

to shuttering, and he

40:47

knew why they

40:48

shuddered at the sight of what was behind

40:50

them, He

40:52

had never defined before that strange things hid

40:55

themselves from men under

40:57

pretense of snow clad mounds

40:59

of swing trees.

41:02

but

41:02

now they came slipping out from their harmless covers

41:04

to follow him and knock

41:06

at his impotence to

41:08

make

41:09

a kindred thing resolved to

41:11

truer form. What

41:14

are you too on about?

41:18

Her

41:18

favorite story, the way we were both. She used to

41:20

read it to Rémi and me at night.

41:22

We both know knew it by

41:24

new in my heart heart.

41:26

Tell me a remark. Let's get you settled into

41:28

your rocker. It's a beautiful evening.

41:30

No. You

41:33

have to board the

41:36

windows. Board the windows and leave

41:37

the root cellar unlocked in the

41:39

walk right into our trap. It's the

41:41

best way to

41:41

kill them. That's not part of

41:44

the

41:45

story. No one

41:47

needs killing. Right?

41:49

you say that

41:51

now. The beast is

41:54

waking. They chew the bones because it

41:56

helps them remember the dreams of the

41:58

dead are trapped. in

41:59

marrow. Okay. Let's not

42:02

start this again. Are

42:04

you hungry? I

42:07

don't know. How about you and I head into the kitchen? I'll

42:09

whip something up. Oh, that sounds

42:11

lovely, dear.

42:13

It's cold. It's

42:16

too cold for spring. Hey, Eva. Where

42:19

where was that field you found me

42:21

the other night? You

42:23

wanna go back? I

42:26

You just keep going past the pond.

42:28

It's a dirt path, easy to follow.

42:31

You've never been walking

42:33

back there. Not that far. The old

42:35

family mine was back there.

42:38

Yeah.

42:38

Just pass the train line. You should see

42:40

it off the trail under

42:41

the creepy church. Okay.

42:44

I'm I'm just gonna take a look. I

42:46

better not have

42:47

to drag you out of

42:49

the woods again. promise.

42:54

Hey, Remy.

42:54

remy

42:58

Well,

42:58

I'm I'm here.

43:00

I know I

43:03

missed your birthday. I

43:06

had

43:06

to work

43:09

myself up to being able

43:11

to see your date written

43:13

in stone instead of

43:15

on

43:16

a card. I don't

43:19

know what

43:19

to say. I

43:24

guess, I'm

43:25

so angry

43:28

about the time we

43:30

lost. They years you were gone

43:32

and

43:32

they many years will never have.

43:36

how those

43:38

dreams could just

43:40

vanish like do in summertime.

43:45

You

43:45

know, I

43:48

I keep thinking about

43:50

how you were gonna do a

43:52

surprise trip home to grandma and Ivan.

43:55

and film her reactions,

43:57

and I was gonna

43:59

post

43:59

it on the

44:02

Facebook group. the one for all the

44:04

other girls

44:04

was sold to her boyfriends, and

44:07

they'd all lose their

44:09

shit over you. We

44:13

love seeing soldiers coming home.

44:18

They

44:19

aren't supposed to come up

44:22

with boxes.

44:27

Remmy. Remmy, you

44:30

were supposed to give

44:32

me the best days of my life I

44:34

didn't detect you. I didn't

44:36

it

44:40

detect you. I

44:44

will always be the

44:46

worst. Fuck.

44:50

And here I am. Okay.

44:52

up with your service, buddy. I'm

44:54

so sorry. I'm so sorry. I

44:56

don't know what to

45:00

do. I'm just

45:04

so

45:04

lonely.

45:11

I'll

45:12

be back

45:16

soon.

45:20

Hey, Frank. I'm leaving for real

45:21

now. Okay.

45:24

Hey. This trail leads back

45:26

to your place. Yeah? It does.

45:30

Eva said there's an old church back there.

45:32

Do you know what it is?

45:34

No, I do. And please always

45:36

scare the crap out of me.

45:38

you mind showing me that spot before you take off? It's

45:41

on your way? Yeah.

45:44

Of course.

45:50

I

45:54

think that's the last of the equipment.

45:56

Did you get everything out

45:58

of the cabin? Yeah.

45:59

Yeah. We're good. We

46:02

do got one last spot to

46:04

test. The pellet tier

46:06

place. Clyde says the spot he

46:08

wants us to test is almost a half mile from the

46:10

main house so no one should be the wiser. Plus, we can access

46:12

the area from an ATV trail off an

46:14

older road. There is a mind

46:16

there, but we don't have to

46:18

go in. As long as we can

46:20

find lithium in the soil, it's good enough

46:22

for Clyde. You sure

46:24

you don't wanna wait till

46:26

morning? Had about enough of

46:28

this place. Let's get the hell out of

46:30

dodge and back

46:32

to civilization.

46:37

Yeah.

46:38

So just

46:40

up ahead. I'm I'm gonna

46:43

Keep heading on night

46:45

night, Frank. Really?

46:48

This this is where I heard them the

46:50

other night. Gathering together

46:52

in in and yipping and howling and celebrating the moon,

46:54

feeling feeling

46:54

the blood inside them,

46:57

feeling real. I

47:00

mean, do

47:01

you ever wanna feel

47:03

real, Bobby? Like like to

47:04

break through this world of dreams

47:07

and and feel the blood

47:09

in your body. Frank, you're you're scaring me,

47:11

dude. I'm I'm I'm out of here. But

47:14

47:16

night about about

47:18

47:22

heat inside your body again, and it

47:24

can happen, Bobby. If you

47:26

go with me into the church. What's in there

47:28

will make you feel alive.

47:30

The things in the forest they

47:34

they know what it feels like to feel alive. Yeah.

47:36

So I'm off. Frank, you'll

47:38

47:40
