3
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.799
Oh I know it's here. This

4
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.959
her rummage through his personal things.
Nobody has an expectation of privacy here.

5
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.760
It just doesn't seem right. You
still have cop brain shake it off.

6
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.239
I agree, but there's something wrong
with him. Well, there's something wrong

7
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.280
with all of us. I can
fucking feel it. That's what you said

8
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.280
in Luca's room when we were rummaging
around in his shit. We found a

9
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.200
bunch of recorders, didn't we He
fucking invented them. Those were prototypes.

10
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.040
Nothing weird. Well, somebody put
that thing in von Sid's gear. Chain

11
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.719
of custody is kat Luca Charlie?
You yeah, think I tinkered one together?

12
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.159
And what hit it up? My
ass? I live in a cell

13
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.000
with lights on me twenty four to
seven. Just look, I'm only humoring

14
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.879
this because if it when you saw
it, a chill ran down your spine.

15
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:22.879
Someone listening where they shouldn't be,
because all your fancy anti eaves dropping

16
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.879
bullshit doesn't work on these things.
And you realized what a huge, stupid

17
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:34.240
blind spot you'd left open hardly what
would anyone even do with them? All

18
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.240
you can do is listen unless you
can experience remembrances. They aren't anything.

19
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.800
Well, there you go. I'm
not suggesting someone is trying to sell your

20
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.719
secrets to sixty fucking minutes. It's
someone who just wants to hear you freaks,

21
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:57.919
be freaky there fucking yes, see, exactly like the one in Sid's

22
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.319
bag. What what do you mean? Look, idiots, there's a shitload

23
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:09.280
of them, Adriana, there's nothing
there the fuck there aren't. She's nuts?

24
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.479
Is this a trick? You can
go back in the light box for

25
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.639
a month? Show me put one
in my hand. There's nothing here,

26
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:28.960
fucking here? Oh oh fuck hidden? What the hell? Yeah? There?

27
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.159
See, look at all of them. He's been making recordings. What

28
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.120
has he been capturing? He could
have left them right out in the open

29
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:46.360
recording us. Okay, shit,
I fucking knew it. No, we

30
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.039
don't know that it's anything sinister.
So play one. No, no,

31
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.039
no, no, please, oh
god, please don't make me, Please

32
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.400
just let it be over. I
don't want it. I don't want it.

33
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:06.280
I don't want it corn? No

34
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:20.000
huh h sh my love, we
believe in you. I can't please you

35
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:29.839
know this would not be easy.
You knew that you cannot stop. Now

36
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:38.240
it's too late. Please don't make
me. This is what your choice.

37
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:45.639
It is the right choice. None
of this, none of it is veryal.

38
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:56.600
It's all just a vidyal. You
choose to wake up just a few

39
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:15.879
steps from my lord, free yourself. Oh oh fuck, where is he?

40
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:23.120
I fucking knew it. I fucking
knew it. You just didn't like

41
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:38.519
him? Where is he? Come
back? Turn on? Fuck? No,

42
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.360
the labs, let's go. What
is that smell? Curse? Fire?

43
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.759
Nobody move, don't move, master
your fear. Your fear is flammable.

44
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:59.759
No sudden movements. Let it settle. It has faces, the fun

45
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:06.519
The fire has faces. Steady?
Is it fucked up that? It's a

46
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:13.959
good warm? Okay, it's stopping. Don't fucking touch it. Oh,

47
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.279
dear god, what is that?
Nash? What is that? No?

48
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:23.800
No, no, no, no. Julie Owen Owen is in trouble.

49
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.040
I think we're all in trouble.
I think those are bindings, prisons for

50
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.399
horrible things. They are coming loose, Nigel, it's Charlie the over soul

51
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:40.720
got to him. The fucking what
where is he in the labs with Owen?

52
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.920
That's it? It's giving way.
Oh no, what the fuck does

53
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.480
that mean? He's fucking dead?
Holy shit, no way, it doesn't.

54
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:59.920
He can't get close, Arelious,
they're loose. Don't look at them.

55
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.600
Don't look McCall Kenzie, run what
is happening? No, no,

56
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:20.680
no, no, you don't kind
of skin come, don't go, don't

57
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.079
listen, don't look at them.
Is this glass going to hold? Can

58
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.920
we stop? Fight them? It's
too many, too many different kinds.

59
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.160
We just have to wait until help
comes. Isn't everyone locked in the upper

60
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:42.600
chamber fighting for their lives to banish
a glorious Oh no, look those found

61
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.959
the stairs. No, let me
out of here. Stop. You just

62
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.600
have to wait until they go after
softer targets. Then we break for the

63
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:56.439
big doors. Fuck you, my
sister and Madge. There they are soft

64
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.720
targets. They are upstairs. Well, there's nothing we can fuck do about

65
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.879
that. They're thinning out. No, okay, I see a path.

66
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.040
Get ready to fight for your fucking
lives. To the big doors. We

67
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:22.519
bar them behind us these hid you
heard Nash. Fight for your fucking lives

68
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.800
and move. If someone falls,
they fall, don't stop, Nigel.

69
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:35.279
Okay, okay, ready on three
one two, three? Ah fuck,

70
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:45.679
let go keep moving. Ah my
face, my face, Oh god,

71
00:08:46.440 --> 00:09:03.279
ha come on, you never fucking
listen. Welcome, Holy shit, holy

72
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:15.639
shit. Okay, keep it together, almost over, almost over, okay,

73
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:26.919
recorder, keep it running. Wants
to hear. What did you do,

74
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:33.360
mister Rugan? I I don't know
what happened. There was this explosion,

75
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.639
and I think Master Vaughan's ad is
hurt. He's under the rubble back

76
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:46.399
there. I think I told him. I told him you were trouble.

77
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:54.519
I told him you wanted too much. I'm not sure. Maybe he was

78
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.879
the one that wanted too much.
Maybe that's why he wouldn't listen. Quiet.

79
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.360
Come on, Luca and I.
The two. He let it closest,

80
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:13.159
the two he leaned on both handsome, young vulnerable man. Shut your

81
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.080
mouth. How about you, mister
Rugan? You a sucker for a pretty

82
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:35.639
boyface too? You a dirty old
man like Uncle Sid Still alive? Yep,

83
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:43.399
good. I've got a lot more
walls to smash you through before I

84
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:52.279
really start to hurt you. I'm
going to peel you apart. I'm going

85
00:10:52.320 --> 00:11:00.720
to get you to spill every bit
and tell me how you did every step

86
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:09.159
and everyone who helped you strike a
nerve. There you were with the Catholic

87
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.440
Church when I took you in,
right, an inquisitor? Did you get

88
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:20.159
off on murdering all those witchy women, all those gay boys? Tell me,

89
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.639
does the smell of cooking flesh still
get you hard? Maybe we'll get

90
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:35.919
the confession from your corpse. That
ship has sailed. Prepare to meet your

91
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:43.159
god? Oh that's a great idea. Actually, why don't you and I

92
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:50.879
both bask in his presence? You
know I liked doing I didn't want to

93
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.960
hurt him, but I fucking hate
you, witch killer. This is going

94
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:13.519
to be violence. I can enjoy
abomination. Give us get in, push,

95
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.759
get them shut, Nigel, stay
with me. I can't seal the

96
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.960
door with one arm. The forms
are too I don't know how to do

97
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:31.080
them with one hand. Push,
push, goddamn it, Someone shoot out

98
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:41.919
those lights. I can't see here. Come on, help me. She's

99
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:48.120
strong, she'll hold the doors.
Just don't shine any fucking lights over here.

100
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.840
Goddamn it. Nigel holds still.
I can't get this belt tight enough

101
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.720
and you're gonna bleed to death.
What is that where you're the courtyard?

102
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.639
It's the hive, shit, the
fire. They know we are here.

103
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.799
They're coming through as soon as me
and my shadow move. So go Nash.

104
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.960
What's the priority? Fontaid could still
be alive. No, he can't

105
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.480
be. You shut up, Cat, Take Nigel to the courtyard. Nigel,

106
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.080
do you have enough left to disperse
curse fire? If it really had

107
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.039
to? If I stay conscious,
Kat, keep him fucking conscious, Margo,

108
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.120
can you fight? Yeah? My
fucking shooting is gonna be shitit with

109
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:41.200
one eye? Yeah, good enough? Go had enough. I have something

110
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:48.480
to show you. Don't bother begging. I just need to catch a second

111
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:58.200
wind. Just look at this photograph. Doesn't she look so happy sitting there

112
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:05.080
by the piano. Look at that
smile, so at peace? Doesn't she

113
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:11.600
remind you of home? Where?
Did you? I don't you want to

114
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:18.879
be where she is, to be
happy like she is. You won't get

115
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.840
away with this. I just have
to go a little further. Then this

116
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:37.039
whole nightmare can be over. Your
nightmare is just starting. You're never waking

117
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:43.559
up again. Boy, You old
things need to retire, get a hobby

118
00:14:45.919 --> 00:15:07.320
piano lessons. Don't you think that
sounds nice? What a yes? What

119
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.039
the hell is going on in there? Don't try to stand. Every time

120
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.039
you move, blood is shooting out. What does that sound? Have the

121
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:24.080
flames reached the hive? No,
adelaide is the rekindled is here. She's

122
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:30.720
soaking up the fire and she just
killed one of those big things that looks

123
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:37.679
like a skinless dinosaur with her bare
hands. So strong. Already, Von

124
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.320
sid did good work. Shut up
with that past tense shit. His bindings

125
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.840
are broken. He would never not
if he was still alive. Whatever,

126
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.840
leave me here if they find you. If they find me, it means

127
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.960
they got past the rekindled. And
if they can do that, there's nothing

128
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:03.120
you or anyone else could do.
Anyways, go after national jeers. Find

129
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:10.440
anyone still alive down there? Oh
yikes, you've got one. Get moving,

130
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:30.200
Luca Owen, mh is is anyone
there? Mm hmmm, Luca,

131
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:41.960
Luca, don't move, I'm coming
there is that you? Luca? Aren't

132
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:52.080

Oh? Oh oh, I'm so glad

133
00:16:52.159 --> 00:17:02.279
you're okay. Fuck your rides stop
not now, let's get out of here

134
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:11.119
my leg I don't think I could
stand up here. Put wade on me.

135
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:19.240
Okay, little brother, up we
go. Okay, what what did

136
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:26.880
you? Oh? Shit? Okay, my legs work. You can see

137
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:34.960
between us we are a functioning human. What happened Charlie? Something is in

138
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:45.319
his head or I don't know.
He's fucking possessed or something he he did

139
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:51.079
this, yeah, or something with
his face. I don't know. No

140
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:57.359
one could do, no one.
He's he's possessed. He's being controlled by

141
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:14.480
something. Huh ohh. I don't
think he is. Finally, fuck,

142
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:19.359
I've writ the fingernail off. Oh, I hate that. I hear footsteps,

143
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:26.880
stay Frosty, whoa, Hey,
don't shoot Charlie. Put your fucking

144
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:32.000
hands over your head. Where is
sid? I? I don't know what

145
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.960
happened, Charlie? Cut the shit. We found your collection of wax cylinders.

146
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:42.640
I just I was making memories.
Save it on the ground. You

147
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.680
aren't following the dynamics, I said. Down. That's the last time I'll

148
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.640
ask. Just fucking shoot him.
Yeah, big guy, you heard her.

149
00:18:53.960 --> 00:19:00.720
Stop, don't take another step.
Fucking shoot him? You shoot him?

150
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.920
I can't why, because I told
you not to shoot my hands,

151
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:15.039
won't Margot shoot him. That's not
how you tell someone to here like this,

152
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:23.440
Margot shoot Nash in the head.
No, that's how you do it.

153
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.480
No, no, no, no, shit. That push is amazing.

154
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.000
Pathetur's made of sticks was extremely ready
to bargain when I told him i'd

155
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.119
be sure to use it on the
murderers who killed his favorite. No,

156
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:48.559
fucking, fucking you, fucking psycho. Save your breath. You're a dead

157
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:56.400
man. Keep saving it. That's
right. Don't breathe now, don't breathe

158
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:08.839
ever again, Margot, Okay,
vault the vault this way. Oh you're

159
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.599
busy, never mind, I'll find
it. Try not to roll over to

160
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:27.599
your left. A lot of his
skull is over there. Okay, we're

161
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:34.200
almost to the lab lobbies. That
was a gun shot, right, it

162
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.640
was? But I mean only the
Blades will have guns in the building.

163
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:48.799
Yeah, but what are they shooting
at that? I? Uh yeah,

164
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:55.599
I heard it. It doesn't matter. We're getting out of here where I

165
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.039
oh, oh fuck, what is
it? It's Nash and and cheers,

166
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:10.079
Oh oh oh oh fuck she's choking. She can't breathe. What why?

167
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:18.440
I don't know? Oh God,
fuck for forward, get us forward.

168
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:26.279
Oh shit, I'm sorry I stepped
on Margaret. What is it? Why

169
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:33.200
can't you breathe? Check her airway? There's there's nothing. Oh god,

170
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:40.279
please breathe. Breathe for her?
What rescue breathing? Breathe in her mouth?

171
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.920
Oh fuck? Do I? Okay? I plug her nose? Not

172
00:21:45.000 --> 00:22:02.279
too hard? Yeah, okay?
Fuck she bitter tongue. There's a lot

173
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:08.640
of blood. Keep at it.
The vault Is it working? I think

174
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:18.319
so? The vault. What did
she say the vault? I think she

175
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:26.480
said the vault. Why what's in
the vault? Something that can help us?

176
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:38.559
The vault? Okay, here we
are Charles Baybridge. Oh hi,

177
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:47.440
you shouldn't be here. Yeah,
I know, turn back. You're like

178
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:52.720
the librarian, right, yes,
among other functions. Currently, I am

179
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:59.240
minding the vault. Okay, well
I need to get in there. Let

180
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:06.559
me in. No, hmm,
doesn't work on you. Whatever you are,

181
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:12.039
you are not getting passed. I
mean, I am. I don't

182
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:18.119
think you were likely intended to succeed. They would have known this was as

183
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:25.640
far as you'd make it. I
have spent all year listening and waiting and

184
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.839
planning. I've heard all kinds of
juicy secrets. On the recordings, and

185
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.960
a lot more spilled out of the
books and tapes. I've made a lot

186
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:42.440
of new friends, learned a lot
of neat tricks, body and blood,

187
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:51.480
twist and roar. What once there
was will be once more. Poor Charlie,

188
00:23:52.440 --> 00:24:10.240
never pass, it's out of my
fucking never pass. Come on,

189
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.759
come on, steady breathing. Okay, keep it steady. Don't think about

190
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:23.200
the eave doll or the warwolf or
the giant goddamn worm. Fuck. If

191
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.559
you hyperventilate and pass out and fall
down all these stairs, that will really

192
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:41.319
be embarrassing. Oh fuck, keep
your shit together. Oh fuck, that

193
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:48.200
was new, somehow even more awful. Okay, Okay, don't run,

194
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:55.240
don't run. Fuck, don't piss
yourself, don't forget to breathe, move,

195
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:03.839
move, cut cut. Oh shit, Luca, I'm oh pip,

196
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:12.519
Oh god. Margot can't breathe.
We're we're taking turns breathing for her,

197
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:17.440
but she she keeps hitting us.
She's trying to get us to go to

198
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:22.559
the vault, but she'll die if
we leave. I can't see and Luca

199
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.640
can't walk. Margot, stop pulling
my hair. Go God, damn you.

200
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.799
Why does she want us to go, Nash, It's it's too late.

201
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:41.480
Go. We do what she says. We can't. She's the highest

202
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:48.079
ranking person left standing. Do what
she says. I'll stay. I'll only

203
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:57.599
slow you down. No chance they
chance this word. Luca take her gun.

204
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:03.200
Pip help me get Luca on his
feet. We move now. If

205
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.720
there's any chance that any of us, broken legg or no sight can stop

206
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.720
what's happening, then it's worth it. No other help is coming. It's

207
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:34.599
us, No Margot, just hang
on. Move I I can hold on.

208
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:45.920
I can here at the edge of
blivion? Are you I cleave to

209
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:55.240
you, my love? I will
not let you fall. We will not

210
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:04.480
give in to my hunger, my
monstrous nature. I will not devour you,

211
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:17.599
vasaied. I love you, but
I am very disappointed. Please please

212
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:26.240
be quiet, my love. I
have to concentrate. You are slipping ever

213
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:33.799
closer to my hungering teeth. You
let go of all else, all else,

214
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:41.000
to grab hold of me. What
horrors have been unleashed? What horrors

215
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.400
do you allow while you float here
in the dark within time with me?

216
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:57.680
I do not care let it all
burn? How dare you? I will

217
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:10.319
not concerent I new to nothingness.
We have given this project enough. You

218
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:18.279
are a fine person, a fine
man. You do not mean that I

219
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:26.000
am not a man. I am
a monster. The old hunger wells up,

220
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:36.480
the urge to survive, to dominate, to invade, the bad old

221
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:44.440
waist the crown of the puppet masters, to split apart and crawl within.

222
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:51.480
I will not swallow your soul.
I will not become my old self,

223
00:28:52.440 --> 00:29:00.079
the writhing hunger, the brody marionette. I will not go back to that.

224
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:06.799
If that means that all is lost, then it is lost. We

225
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.400
love them. What is an oath
in the face of love? What is

226
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.359
the point of an oath to protect
those we love if it turns in on

227
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:25.720
itself and kills what we sought to
preserve? Stop, do not ask this

228
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:34.160
of me. They are all that
there are left, their home, carved

229
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:45.160
into smaller and smaller portions, levees
raising and locks closed. It is difficult

230
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:56.039
and painful, but this is our
home, our home, This is the

231
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:07.559
place we have made together, a
second chance worth any cost. No Lord,

232
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:14.920
lo this is far enough. I
will hold tight to you, regain

233
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:23.400
my strength, and then then my
strange love from far away. You are

234
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:38.759
a fine man, kind strong,
Please lo please a fine man who knoweth

235
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:49.440
the right thing is to strive what
to will ate be without you, you

236
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:57.759
will be who our love made you. You will be who our love made

237
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:06.720
you. I can walk with all
the dead, all the legion of ghosts

238
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:15.519
of the lost, but I cannot
be haunted by you. If you are

239
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:22.400
not return to the circle, I
will break. It may seem that way,

240
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:30.759
but I know you won't let me
down. Now, my love,

241
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:44.440
please consume me. I simply go
deeper within. I will make you strong,

242
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:53.279
Give you the power to fight for
what who we love? Oh,

243
00:31:55.039 --> 00:32:14.680
my love, I regret not a
moment? Good Bye? What? What's

244
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:21.000
that? What is happening? All
the gods in the sky? Focus,

245
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.839
Pip, Keep carrying him forward,
Luca, distract him. I'm going to

246
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.839
hang back and come in hot.
He was so taken with that knife.

247
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:36.559
Well he's going to get a good
up close look at it now. If

248
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.920
you can distract him, No,
keep going. If we can't stop him,

249
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:44.720
we just slow him down. We
die trying to slow him down.

250
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:50.519
If we have to. Oh fucking
great. Yeah, okay, Pip,

251
00:32:50.599 --> 00:33:04.680
you got him, Yeah, okay, go never pass fun. Stop doing

252
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:10.720
that. You may not enter the
vault. These walls I make are as

253
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:22.759
far as you grow. M I'm
going to fly. I'm gonna find a

254
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:36.759
way in there. I'm gonna fucking
kill you. Charlie, Luca, Luca.

255
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:42.160
I'm so happy to see you.
I need your help. I can't

256
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:52.160
it keeps making walls and mazes and
and and you're so smart, so good

257
00:33:52.200 --> 00:34:00.240
with machines, and help help me
get in there. I can save us.

258
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.720
I pulled you out of the rubble
earlier. I really do like you

259
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:15.400
that a lot of this has been
lies, but that's real. Do you

260
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:24.760
see do you see Pip? Oh? Yeah? Is she okay? Psychopath?

261
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:31.679
You did this to her? No, I mean it was her fault.

262
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:38.199
She lied to the cipher, she
broke her contract, and I have

263
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:49.679
to You don't understand. Please please
help me make Costa. Let us into

264
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:54.679
the vault. And I have this
thing. If I can get it in

265
00:34:54.719 --> 00:35:01.280
there, it will fix everything.
We can be free from them. The

266
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:07.920
pumpsa want to help us. O. They feed on us. They live

267
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:15.000
in human bodies. They control our
minds. No, no, they don't

268
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:22.079
that. They aren't like the others. Wake the fuck up. They eat

269
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.400
human souls. They are monsters from
beyond the stars that live inside human brains.

270
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:32.280
They are puppet masters. They were, That's not who they are.

271
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:38.719
These are different. Yeah, These
soul sucking, mind controlling body snatchers are

272
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:44.840
the nice ones, the ones that
have us in a fabricated alternate universe and

273
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:50.360
conduct mass human sacrifice to enhance their
powers, to keep us away from the

274
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:55.039
other monsters out there that are exactly
like them, just in different shapes.

275
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:05.800
Don't be fucking naive. We aren't
the original population of humanity. It's all

276
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:13.880
a fucking lie. It's a second
timeline, a fucking giant Mandela effect,

277
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:20.559
and they give away parts of it
New Mexico. It's not supposed to be

278
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:25.079
just a little strip. They sold
it off to the other side, the

279
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:32.639
Black Forest, Buenos Aires, Venice, fucking Finland. You never even heard

280
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:45.599
of these places because they cut them
out. Uh what do you They were

281
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:52.199
places, Luca. They sold them
to the Red King, the Trumpet and

282
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:58.320
Pressipliss. Truly horrific, brutal monsters. Those places and all the people there

283
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:07.840
were sold to hell in peace treaties, sacrifices, then just forgotten. We

284
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.159
were talking about how how they do
it, how they've been able to keep

285
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.199
it secret for so long. Well
it hasn't been that long, because this

286
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.559
is somewhere else. I don't know
when it switched. But we live in

287
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:29.559
a bottle. You aren't making any
sense. Who cares which cosmic boogeyman?

288
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:34.360
We are in the world of just
help me? You and I get everything,

289
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:40.400
and everyone else fuck everyone else.
I will never be scared again.

290
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.239
I will never be pinned down and
made to feel helpless ever again. I

291
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:50.840
will become the prince of fucking pain
if I have to. But I will

292
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:55.559
not live in terror. And you
don't have to either. Friends, hold

293
00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:06.719
loon, fuck fuck you and tempore. Get away. God damn it,

294
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:21.280
Charlie, don't don't move, Charlie, just please stop. I really I

295
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:27.679
I liked you. I know I
like you too. Just let just let

296
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:31.599
this be over. Let this just
be a bad dream. I want to

297
00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:39.760
wake up. Then just wake up. It can be over. I I

298
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:46.639

rest of cats bones and peel off the

301
00:38:54.480 --> 00:39:00.559
rest of her skin. I'll stick
my fingers into pip eye sockets and shake

302
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:08.880
and shake until she forgets you and
herself and how to breathe. Oh,

death. Ah no, what what
