Hello, this is Pumpkin Perrier, director to producer GM and perhaps if you
enjoyed my podcast, please make sure to rate and review it and head over
to table story dot tv for our extensive library. Thank you for your support
and enjoy. Devastating news out of the Tyrell Corporation today as they announced the
passing of renowned engineer doctor Kano Nakayama. Nakayama, who previously spearheaded several flagship
Tyrell projects, passed peacefully in his sleep at the age of forty three.
This is yet another substantial blow to the Tyrell corporate so soon after the recently
passed Recording Prohibition Act. It has only been three years since the brutal murder
of former CEO eld In Tyrrell denied, a shocking discovery has rocked the sector.
Hello, Skiff, I know I said we wouldn't hear from each other
unless there was a very good reason. I think this is a pretty good
one. Every single one of us has made a choice. Every single one
of us has paid a price. What price did you pay? You've abandoned
your post in favor of your personal desires, chasing the ghost of a girl
that wasn't really a girl to begin with her empty promises made by a charlatan,
a woman who has thrown in her lot with terrorists. You abandoned your
entire life for an echo. I don't understand that, but I respect it.
I surrendered everything in favor of my ideals. I killed the one thing
I loved because ultimately what I love doesn't matter. What matters is what I
believe, and I believe in fighting against the theft of humanity, of stolen
dreams, stolen memories. You likely don't understand that, but I hope you
respect it. All of us had to pay a price. This is gonna
be yours. And I'm sorry, Skiff, because I tried. I really
tried to help her. I was willing to turn a blind eye to her
mistakes, let her take the opportunity to run, or just to get her
house in order. But she made her choice, Skiff, for what it's
worth, I made it quick. I hope whatever you find is worth the
price. When I find you, I'm gonna tell your fucking heart out.
M alright, alright, alright, got a job to do. Focus on
the job, get in, get the files, get out. Then't worry
about everything else and look up, tyrrel building is in front of me.
Take a breath, take a minute to go over what needs to be done
in my head, and I get ready to enter. Alright, r j
mm hmmm. I don't know how reliable these blueprints you had are gonna be.
What. Uh, I'm gonna lean heavily on you, and I'm assuming
you can deal with that, right, I'll deal with what I have to.
Yeah, that doesn't mean I'm gonna hold your slack. You're not you
follow I get this done. You fall behind, you fall behind. I
won't fall behind, now, that will galen if you insist? Oh I
do, I do, But I'll be honest, and I know what I'm
looking for. At least I know what I want to find. Whatever you
found whenever you were in wasn't enough. Wasn't enough. I went in,
I got information. I lost good people that day. What is it that
you're looking for? It's any better? I don't know? You don't know?
No, did you? I had an idea? Well, that's where
I'm at. I want the truth. I want to know if it's deeper
than us. I want to know why. I don't think I'm going to
get most of that and maybe that's okay. But you know, if you
were any other person, I think you were a fool. That's good because
that's how I feel. At the very least, you're gonna trust yourself,
right. I don't say that. I think I'm watching him as I talk.
I'm picking up on, well, everything about this this Bob, the
way he stands, the way he holds himself. Obviously, we've lived similar,
if different lives. We've taken on different injuries over the course of being
here on the force, being active, being present. But I'm trying to
see how much of myself is in him in the way he stands. Maybe
the way he leans on the wall fave is a leg blinks. I think
that. I think as you are watching Bob, he is not looking at
you. I think that we all know that we're supposed to be inconspicuous here,
but he's still standing pretty erect, shoulders back, still looking around,
curious. I think you would understand that there's a level of nervousness in him
that you probably felt before in this situation. But I think you would notice
a difference between you and me. I think there's a tone that I have
that isn't even a little bit jovial, comedic. Even if I smile a
little bit, it looks strained and forced. If there's anything I think you
would see that I'm missing something that you have, and I don't know if
you know what that is, but it's there or it's not there. I
think this gives me pause. I think, after this revelation, if we
want to call it, that, I've spent a nicol amount of time hiding
from mirrors as well as just staring at it, trying to understand myself.
And before me is a mirror of a different kind. And I see those
vacancies and I feel as if they give me comfort. However, I see
the similarities and I think I hate them all the more for it that hate.
It's mutual. I know you do, okay, Galen. I suppose
it depends on what you mean by okay. Honestly, I was just expecting
to know. Look, Bob, I'm here to support you. If this
is what you feel like you need to do, then let's do it.
Might be one way you could say that about anything that we do. It's
fair. Is there a lower percentage chance of us getting out? Yeah?
Probably? Hopefully RJ here has some kind of a plan that's rich. Hopefully
I have a plan. Did you two not have any idea what you were
doing up until this point? I just happened to be here. Yeah,
but you've been through this, you've seen what we've not. You can react
a little faster than we can, because at least you have an idea.
Don't need you to have too much of a plan. And I again,
I'm not putting shit on top of you. I'm not. We can hold
our own. I just want to get in, get to the space,
see if there's anything we can find, and get out. I just I
don't know how to move forward without doing that. I think my expression drops,
whether it lights smile or tightens in my face is relax. I turned
from Bob, I look to his partner and I approach him. My walk
step step step, a gate with no personality, and I look at him
and I tell he what he is, who he is you. I don't
know if you've seen me before, but when you look at me, I
think you'd see a man who has lost everything and there wasn't a lot there
to begin with. I'm gonna recover. Do you hear that? I did?
I reach into my jacket and I'm holding onto my gun. We'll save
the interrogation for next time, if there is a next time. You know
the shadows maybe yeah, all right, I push into the shadows and get
low. Can you see what that is? Patrolling guard? Maybe a guard?
Wow? I don't think so. Cowie's dressed just some right, I'm
not on the street. Then, excuse me? Light a cigarette. With
the slash of the light, I think there's enough to recognize his face.
Holy shit, that's Skiff. What the fuck is he doing here? A
friend of yours? Why the hell is he screaming? I don't know.
I don't know what this is. Let's give him a minute. He's just
smoking. If you could go, I've got this, okay, make sure
he doesn't do any more screaming. All right, I'm going to slowly meander
in a drunken looking fashion towards Skiff. Head's a bit bowed, m and
I'm just kind of taking a zig zag like pattern, like I can't really
walk a straight line, and i'll uh, I'll just sort of uh tap
you on the shoulder. Excuse me, sir, do you have any any
chin I'm just trying to just trying to feed my family. Kaileen, Yeah,
follow me, Pretend like you're giving me some chin. Yeah, I
got some some change from dinner here. Please can you can you? Can
you? Can you? Can you help my daughter? She's she's she's sick.
Can you can you please? Can you just take a look at her?
Let me give you a right thank you, thank you, You're so
kind. I walk over with him, just around the corner here in the
alley. Well, hell, hell, gang's all here, skiff, This
is uh, this is our j This is UH Robert Wyndham mm hmm.
They killed her, Bob, they killed who? They killed Natalie? She
did Sawyer killed Natalie. Send me a videotic gloat about it. They're trying
to get you to react to do something stupid. It's almost working. Why
are you here job to do? What are you doing here? Trying to
get answers because I think spend a little time talking about what we're going for.
I just yeah, ran into r J here, and I'm sorry,
who are you? I believe he called me r J here? He's he
me, I thanks giving me grimace at the mention of that. He's me
okay, uh, I'm not gonna ask too many questions. Just you know
one thing. Galen feltered to Chiman as well. Do we trust him?
I mean no, I don't trust him at all. But he has the
right knowledge, He is the right information. He is in my memory,
he is is Sam and I can trust that. I can trust that this
is building. These people they've been fucking around for their own purposes. I
kind of need to know why I got nothing else. I'm sorry, I'm
sorry. Let me let me just I'm sorry. My brain is a fog
a lot of information at the moment. Say that again, Bob, What
is he to you? I'm a replicant, so is he. We're the
same set of memories, at least mostly from what I can tell. Some
things are changed, but most of it's the same. He didn't know either
until he did, Like me, I don't know how long they've been doing
this, how they how long they've been running whatever fucking experience experiment this is.
But I'm putting this together. I think that's what I'm here for.
Right. We talked about the job, and Naro's very vague about what we
were going to take. But I can just about fucking guarantee you it's something
to do with you or others like you. It's the only thing that makes
sense. That's something that would bring Tyrrell to the fucking ground. Well,
it's got to be that information got out that they were infiltrating the LA.
That's it. So this job just became much more important and a hell of
a lot more dangerous. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you. I
really don't give a shit about any of that right now. I just need
to know. I need to know how long they've been doing this. I
need to know how many of me have there been? Just what the fuck
are they doing? There's only one you, Bob. I immediately look over
at RJ. I think I take the remark mockingly and say, facts,
there's only one RJ and there's only one Bob. Well to lighten the mood
or anything, but I feel like I picked the right side even more now,
and I just put a big, sloppy hug on Bob. Whether he
likes it or not, I'll do that awkward hand pat on your back,
Yeah, the right side. Well, for what it's worth, I'm glad
you're here, Galen, thank you, r J. What are we waiting
for? Because that it y three were enough. I think I know you
well enough. I turn to Skiff, I lock him up and down,
and then with my left leg I stepped at the right past him. As
I do, I turn around using my right elbow, and I swing as
if to hit him in the temple as fast as I can, stopping dead
short to see if he reacts. You are doing this to whom, Sorry
not to you anymore. To Skiff, Yes, but I would say that
during all of this, as he starts to move, probably for the first
time, I track the speed and I go to put my hand out,
but I don't think I stop you. This would have been a surprise.
The look on my face doesn't tell you that, like like I'm trying to
be cool or stoic or anything like that. My face says you could have
hit me and taken my head off right now, and I wouldn't care.
So your reaction is to not react. I don't know what the point of
this little exercise is. And I put my one finger on your elbow and
like kind of if you let me, I kind of just gently push it
out of the way. I let you turned to bop and go. So
he's a human, all right. Who the fucking nose. Good question.
It's a bit quicker than a VK test, I guess, but look at
him. I look over it at a skiff. You can see the anguish.
This is someone who just lost something, very like when we lost chioh.
And then I catch myself after I'm like, I give you the deadest
of stairs like that feeling all right, small groups are It'll do just fine.
However it makes you feel any better or eases your mind. I was
sitting here by now around to do the job alone, and she thought I
had a chance. So if you're wondering about if I'm my capabilities, I
have no luxury for worry. Right now, I reach into my pocket.
I pull out this small device. It almost looks like a lighter black the
red led. I press it down twice, and as I do, I
say low frequency band and then I snap it. If anybody picks up,
they'll know where to find us. Should be quick. I put feelers out.
But this is really short notice. Are you trying to get extra muscle?
You could call it muscle? Okay, what time is it right now?
I mean, I'm assuming it's evening and tonight. But that is such
a good question. It is actually the day of the race, but it
is in the evening, so that happened during the morning. They rated,
then they interrogated through to the afternoon. Nat took her mission from Sagan went
we don't know what happened there, and then she returned home and had her
encounter with Sawyer. So it is now probably nine or ten at night when
you are choosing to break in in the late hours, all right, a
little bit of time by what's on. We have to stay close by or
near enough. If my contacts defined us. The pause goes both ways,
but I had to break the device after over adding another one to free.
We'll see what we can get. But hopefully, yeah, thank if they're
warning through a contact, But again things have been quite expensive. I think
after some time, there's a knock at the door. I think I hear
the knock. We're in the small uh where we were is like an on
the street, right, but I want to say that quite nearby, it's
almost like a utility caused kind of deal. It's where they root all the
within this junction this sector. Kind of similar to how like in certain places
they have junction boxes for the Internet, that kind of thing around here.
In LA, they're a bit bigger because we're a lot more tech dependent.
This particular one is uh was unlocked and is maybe the signs of two storage
two storage containers. Perhaps, regardless, that's what we are. There's a
knock on the door. I have my gun out and I'm pointing in that
direction. Carme me in. My gun is also with the door, same
pose. I stepped through the door with a kind of a leaguered smile on
my face. I look a bit weathered. I look like I've kind of
been through it today. But I just have a big smile on my face
and kind of look around and I don't recognize anybody in the room, noting
the guns pointed my way, but I lock eyes with with RJ and say,
hello, are these new friends? Just you? Hello? Were my
weapon? Yeah? I pull mine back. Pleasure model. If I don't
miss my guess you are correct. Pleasure model and personal defense. Personal defense.
Yes, I am designed to be one person's very special friend who will
protect them from anything useful. Yeah. I like to be useful. But
RJ, I don't think anyone else is coming. There were some big problems
today, No shit, all right, Well, the way I was going
to get in is for a solo person. But uh, I mean,
if you guys have a better, better method, I mean it would be
kind of arduous for all of us to use the way. I was going
to get in through a uh well, through a window. I have a
way to fool the sensors and you know that kind of shit. But if
you guys have a better way, my ears, I think I let him
talk himself out for a bit. I don't reply what window? Well,
And if I'm not mistaken, the tyrail building is shaped like a pyramid,
right, Yeah, it's sort of way right, sort of weird. It's
it's it's an uphill hike. Uh, it's gonna be several several stories.
I was gonna be using some repelling gear to get up to that window,
fool the sensors, trick it into opening, get in that way. Are
we going to Tyrrell? Yeah, that's the plan. Oh that's scary.
What's your name? I am Blithe. I don't have a last name.
I was never given one, but I am two years, three months and
one week old. I'm galenki. It is nice to meet you. Galen
and Skiff, I'm Bob and Bob oh well you're spoiled for choice for that
one special friend. Anyway, you better get going. I look towards Bob.
There's always Karen with all the shit going down right now and tyreel.
Do you think she's still in there? I don't know. Well we can
hope. Okay, where do we mm hmm? Where are we going first?
Because I want to get this ship going. H First things first,
we're going to get into the compound. Say, uh, which window were
you talking about? Buildings? Big many entrances? What what floor was the
uh? Information on? Right? I remember that? Yeah? Okay,
right, yeah, no the well, yeah, I think you're right because
the oh PB muted by the way, Sorry, I wanted to go on
record saying that it was in It's on the same floor where we did the
one shot episode where the analysts were gathering that information and RJ came in and
took something and shot some of the the employees that we're working there. So
it's the same that same floor. But I just don't remember the actual floor
number at say, any numbers. I just I just kind of like pull
out my ka got the schematic and I point ingresses there once one time,
once I was inside I was going to, uh, either take the stairs
or something of that nature of a couple more floors, and that's the target
floor, because the target floor has a lot more security, and I've got
a range of gadgets and so on onto for situations that might arise to get
through those security measures. And on that floor without She didn't tell me much.
She said, on that floor, get all the information you can.
Put it on and I pull out this like this little like look it looks
like a thumb drive like, put it on that, bring it back to
her, and I'm guessing that's the information she's got. The the hacking software
is already on this thing. So once we're in there, I don't know
what your mission was that was mine. I mean it sounds like what you're
trying to get is what I'm looking for. Okay, it's more than what
flow RJ got before. Life Good time, Good time. The time.
Let's say it's about ten thirty somewhere around there. It is ten thirty pm.
All right, Well, soon enough, there's going to be a break
time. Another floor you're talking about, I've been there before. As we
scale the building, if we can do it quiet enough, we might be
able to get in. Luck. Maybe get in the window lower breakroom.
See if anyone's there with high up enough credentials. We can get even further
faster if I can get in the way I was planning, I would just
have to find credentials on somebody, subdue them, and then let you in
without hassle. But a lot of moving parts. Maybe we only send a
few in. Maybe only some of us go in at first, to try
and keep us from being too noticeable. If you have just me and I'm
sorry, what was your name again? Live? Yes? Me and blithe?
Are you? You said you were skilled in defense of one person?
But can that one person be me? Tonight? Yes? Excellent, So
me and blithe will go in. All right. We will subdue whomever we
find, take their credentials, use them to open up the doors. Let
you all in the front or the back. Okay, and call the elevator.
Get you up here. Let me go from there once we reconvene waste
management. If you can get the credentials, will be by waste management.
It's the easiest way in. If you have a key card. Okay,
we'll be waiting there. Good Laura, Yeah, good luck? All right,
I grabbed my duffel with all the equipment in it. I guess you're
with me, yes. Are we going to hurt people only if we need
to. I try not to break people if I can help it. That's
a good thing for a pleasure model. So how did you get mixed up
with this? As we're walking to the target location. I used to belong
to a very wealthy woman named Alessa, who I loved very much, and
then she died and they blamed me for it. It was very easy to
blame me for it. It was an accident in our gym. We spent
a lot of time there. I was her sparring partner. And then the
blade Runners came and they chased me for a very long time, and then
one of them almost died and I helped him and he let me go.
He changed his mind. That's the thing that humans can do. I don't
think it's restricted to just humans. M hmm. Some of the new replicants
are very special. It seems like they can do that. Is this the
first time you're meeting Bob hmm. That is a complicated question. I think
yes, right, I forgot Wow, he changed his mind. M Well,
he is special. He gets to live for a longer time than I
do. I am halfway through my life. I am a nexus six.
How does that feel knowing you have not only knowing you have an expiration DAPE,
but knowing when it it's going to be mm hmm. Everyone has an
expiration date, but you know the day it's going to happen or around there.
That is very strange. I don't think about it a lot. I
just try to use the time I have to help people like that Lade Runner
helped me. Well. I don't know if you'll take this as a compliment
or an insult, but that might be the most human thing I've ever heard.
We're here. I pull out the the uh uh not to batman it
up too much, but the gas power grappling gun and uh pull it out
and uh use the It has like a like an electronic aim on it.
As soon as it pings, okay, and I kind of try and like
pull blithe over all. Right, see where the hook landed. We're going
one and a half floors below that. It's right by the rope. That's
our window. Do you want me to carry the heavy things? I'm good
at that. If you're volunteering absolutely. How heavy is the gear? The
heaviest part was the grappling gun. The rest of its Yeah, so like
once once the grappling gun is up there like that, it's got like a
built in like anchor like shoots into the ground like cool. Yeah, but
the rest of the gear isn't super heavy. It's just like you know,
like picture like five laptops in a bag. Gotcha? All right? Okay,
Well, I effortlessly hoist whatever it is you ask me to carry with
no complaint, and I'm ready to go. I suppose it might be a
good time to ask do you have a weapon besides I am a weapons?
Yea, yeah, okay, okay. And we started to climb, and
it's it's it's not like climbing up the side of a building, right because
it's like a like a pyramid or zigguratte or something like that. So it's
like, you know, it's arduous, but it's not impossible. We're going
up like what do you say, at least twenty twenty something floors? That
is correct? So we got so, yeah, you got a ways to
go. So I mean, obviously this building is incredibly tall and it's been
a while, so I'll mention this again. But in this alt reality dystopian
future, present day buildings are five hundred stories tall, and usually you know
we're experiencing blade Runner in the lower levels usually, but so they're probably heading
up about twenty floors thirty floors. And when I was looking at the notes,
just so that we know we do have they entered previously in on the
fourth floor through the maintenance and waste control, which was great. But we're
going to around the thirty forty third or forty fourth floor somewhere around in there
is where we're looking for. So they've got a way to go. And
it's funny because I got to give you a little, like the audience,
a little insight someone in our discord. We keep you know, a chat
open so we can tell together during the show, oh my god, someone
to put in that put in the Batman gift like the old TV show,
or then walking up the side of a building. Now wait, I'm gonna
jump back into our p And that's why this is why that's funny. I
hate dad. Would yes, you seem to have an easy time carrying that
bag, and would this may sound ridiculous, but would we have a faster
and better, easier time if I just and he kind of struggles with it,
like I think, I effortlessly just sort of like it like a like
a kind of piggyback ride. I think at the stage like yeah, like
yeah, and just for context that the audience is aware that that live strength
is a live strength, is is maxed out. So I think it's very
easy, very easy for blithe to support. So I a piggyback style and
I kind of lean lean down a little bit, not super close, but
close enough to go like dose, don't tell anybody about this, Okay,
Whitney Houston starts playing. I think it's also funny because to be blithe is
like a very like rail said six foot tall person. So they don't look
like they don't look like they have that strength. They're like designed very much
to not look as strong as they are. Right, but but like picture
like the skeleton of a terminator, that's what you are, yes, exactly,
you know you just you pick me up like I'm nothing, like holy
shit, I think I might even say that holy shit. I think I
think you become acutely aware of how easily I could snap your neck in this
mia and I might probably say like, I'm glad you're on my side.
Me too. All right, so we piggyback, I know, but tactically,
if it's faster, yeah, I won't. Yeah, I won't get
tired. Yeah yeah, blithe won't get tired, and then I won't get
tired from doing all the you know, climbing, so like, I'll be
fresh as a daisy, both we both will by the time we get up
there, So it'll be great. It's efficient exactly a grade A grade agreed,
all right, can we just yes? Yes, okay, so you're
here. I actually would like to roll so one of some piggyback music to
play. Peebes, I did play some piggyback music. I heard it,
but I do have two roles being facetious. I'm not roll me hit it.
Are you both rolling stealth? One of you is rolling stealth and one
of you is rolling observation? Choose wisely? Okay, I see life.
Life is is probably probably stealthier than they are observant if you want to take
observation. Okay, all right, the one let me put this up here
for y'all. Oh you cannot see that, please hold it? Monit yet,
I'm on it. Oh, no, I'm going to push that because
I would definitely do that. Yikes, yikes. You can push again if
you like. Sure, this seems important. Okay, wow, Okay,
totally worth it, all right, don't forget take two, resolve off I
have Okay. Okay, so that is a three for those listening. So
the stealth succeeded, okay, and we got skiff rolling a one with the
observation. Okay. You know, I'm just real quick thinking about this,
like thinking about like the original Bladeruner movie. This is absolutely something Harrison forward
with you. I could absolutely seem like like with this, you know,
like uncomfortable face, like shitting up back. It's so good too, because
it's like the original film does such a good job of feeling like futuristic but
also still very rooted in the eighties. So the fact that you guys are
using like a grappling hook is just the best to me. Okay, So
stealth was good and observation was good. I'm gonna save the observation for later.
Stealth. Reasonably speaking, you guys, get up there. No one
has seen you climbing up you know these very sometimes very obvious open window.
No one has seen you you haven't seen anybody, or perhaps even we've seen
you climbing up the windows and pausing and waiting and like, you know,
kind of before you continue up for somebody to pass by and walk by.
But either way, b Live has done an excellent job carrying you up here
in a way in which you were not noticed. And I will give you
your observation later. Okay, As soon as we get up to our target
location, I unzip the bag and I hop off and I, you know,
holding the rope, I zip the bag, I grab out a little
like I don't know, just like a rectangular device. And as soon as
like I kind of just like a key card, I kind of just pass
it over the window and you hear like a and like the sliding metal just
goes out and then up. And if you all remember, these are the
items that he specifically requisitioned in a previous episode, so he only has on
him what he requisitioned in that episode. Clever planning pays off. Okay,
so all right, now you are in. You say, right, you
use this ability to get in, and now you are looking for someone,
which is what your observation can be used for. You can clock somebody if
you'd like, or you can just describe what you're seeing right now, and
it can be because of your success, whether it is busy or whether it
is not that busy. Okay, I think I think we lights up on
a dark meeting room like this is where you would see like a board in
the back, some some chairs around a bigger table. Uh you know,
uh, like wooden wooden slats that you can sort of see through boxing the
room in windows. Obviously the window we came through it's completely pitch dark,
I mean with the moonlight whatever shining through the window. And we hop down
and I grabbed the bag, and uh, I've looked to blithe and I
go, Okay, around this floor. That's where we'll find, hopefully,
if we can someplace where the credentials of people are kept or someone on the
later shift, that we can subdue and grab their credentials now, if we
can subdue them non lethally, if we must, only if we must,
we resort to other things. Does that a right with you? Yes?
That's fine? Okay from here on. Okay, And I start, you
know, I'm not I'm not doing like the like the Hamburgler or anything like
that, but I'm you know, sneaking along listening uh periodically stopping looking at
blithe and pointing to my ear. You know, do you hear anything?
I just shake my head when uh I hear a door opening and then uh
uh a hand dryer like getting done drying, and I the signal for both
of us like we like get behind like ah, like a desk, like
a receptionist kind of a desk, kind of duck behind to see who has
just come out of the bathroom. And we see somebody, I think,
yes, can you make sure that we are not Can you put that in
the back room? Yes, thank you? Okay, mm hmm. Is
she talking to someone that we can see or is she on the on a
Kia or something. Let's find out what are you speaking to somebody or are
you on I was just talking to somebody across the hallway making sure that they
were taking care of So I'm going into this room here and I what am
I seeing? Exactly? What is the room that you are in? Zeke?
It was like a conference room, right, but it's empty. That's
when we were in. We have since and reached like the the reception desk
where the elevators and the bathrooms would be okay, okay, kill wasn't he
hello? Oh we weren't talking. Yeah, I don't know if you know
that they're here. Their stealth was a three, so if you want,
yeah, we can roll something. But there it's a three. So I
I just assumed since you're yeah, I will know to beat three. That
is not going to happen. So I walk in and I was talking to
somebody in Halloway, So I am going to sit down and grab my device
here and I'm going to start checking my messages. Now when I look at
whoever this is, do they have their like a badge credentials like hanging out
or is it something that they keep like in a wallet or purse or something
you would I would have lanyard so you would see on my on my chest.
I would also have bitch okay, right, and it is It would
be like a badge equivalent to the floor that you need. She does have
access to R and D and all of that. Okay, it's not unusual
to be loved by anyone. And I lean really close to blithe Okay this
one, Yes, she has the right credentials, but I need to know.
Let's just say in a scale of one to ten. How confident are
you that you can subdue her silently without killing her? Excellent, assuming I
get to use my three anyway. But well that's for self, but you
need your actual, like physical takedown. Oh yeah, so I so I
think I think if I can describe how I approach absolutely that I spring into
action like almost like a spider, like crolling across the ground like way too
quick for like a humanoid, and just kind of spring up behind this person
live has martial artist, which means I get advantage on any hand to hand
attack. Yeah, that's it's disgusting. So yeah, go on, go
ahead and roll that and then let me grab while you're doing that. Actually,
let me make sure we've got a sheet for our lovely worker here.
Oh no, I know exactly what I'm going to do, and it makes
me an asshole, but I'm duplicating Natalie's sheet. Make me play with Sawyer,
I did say before. I was like, audience is going to get
whiplash. I saw a couple of comments as well, being like, oh
I can hear is Sawyer? And I was like, well, we tried,
we waited as long as okay, let's see, so let me yeah,
you go ahead and roll that. I know that chat can't see it
yet, but that's okay, because i'm grabbing this sheet here. What did
you get? Do you mind? Uh? I got a four row so
irold, a triple crit oh geez, okay, holy shit, and the
special attack that I'm using is to pin or clinch the opponent rather than damage.
Yeah, okay, so give me one second. I am still I
would still like there to be an option. So here, Spath, I'm
going to give you access to the sheet here. There you are. Okay,
you should see it now. It does have that's picture on it,
but i'll remove that in a second. But yeah, you should have some
abilities there too. Well, this isn't going to go well, but it
would be a hand to hand roll. So but if you want, I
still think you should roll it, just in case something crazy happens. I
mean, I don't even know if it's possible to beat it. But yeah,
oh yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was looking at the
sheet. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm on it. I'm
on it. Okay, okay, handle hand here, easy, easy,
so easy, thank you? Not terrible? Not terrible? What was it?
That was one? One Okay, so that's not too bad then,
so it cancels out the one would you roll the blithe roll to three?
Right? Four? Okay, so it's still three about So I'd say that
this happens exactly the way that that that that's supposed to happen. So yeah,
why don't why don't you go ahead and describe what we see? Yeah,
so again, I'm crawling like like sprung up on hands and feet across
the floor and then slide across on my knees like just past her peripheral vision.
And as she turns her head, I spring up behind her and clap
a hand over her mouth and pin her against the chair, and there's there's
a gentle pressure on the throat, and I say, hello, new friend,
Please don't scream, don't scream, don't talk, And I get up
out out from behind the desk. Can I walk over to her. I'm
truly sorry about this, and I reach over and like kind of pop the
lanyard off of the or pop the badge off the lanyard. We need this.
And as you can tell, my friend is very strong and you're not
getting away, So what are we going to do? We're just gonna put
you down for a little nap. Oh so sorry to interrupt. You probably
would need her. We know this from the previous episode, that you'll need
her eyeball, or like you'll need her to come with you, probably the
mechanic of because we need Oh yeah, well it's and then it wasn't even
that, it's just that we learned that in a previous episode. We established
that you're gonna need her eyeball to get into R and B and perf.
Okay, I snap the snap the thing off, I need this, and
I point to your eyeballs and we need those. And wait, I'm not
a cruel man. I'm offering you a chance to keep them in your head.
M hmm. But you have to do everything we say because we are
fully willing and I by shore the bag, the double bag, and capable
of using them without your permission. We don't want to do that. You
don't want that, do you? M m hmm. Shake your head if
you agree, right, Okay, you don't want that either, Okay,
okay, So you are going to do everything we say, yes, good,
good, Now my friend is going to take his hand off of your
mouth mm hmm, and you're going to tell me your name and your name
only, Okay, shake your head if you understand they're not there. You
go okay, and I look at blithe and I very gently take my hand
off off your mouth, but there's still an arm around your round your classical
M. Yeah you just name my name? Is that? I'm sorry?
Yeah, it's Marcia, Marcia, Marcia than Marcia. Thank you and thank
you ahead, and I'm for your cooperation. I think I very gently help
you to your feet at this stage. I'm sorry for all the scare tactics,
but we are obviously in a situation where fear is necessary for compliance,
and I don't I honestly don't want anything to happen to you. You're not
what we're here for, okay, But I also want to impress upon you
that you are also not necessary to what we want here, So keep that
in mind if you think about screaming or resisting. Okay, okay, Now
we're going to go to the I'm guessing like the reception would have like,
uh, some sort of security access terminal something like that. So I go
over to that, I take the badge and I swipe it pass and then
the thing opens up the wrong it's I flipped around, thank you. And
then a thing that terminal or the door like slides open and like these this
you know goggle thing like half goggle thing comes up. And now, Marcia,
your truth, my might turn through. What just look in the scope.
That's what you want me to do, is just look he's just look
in. You're not going to unfortun something. That's only the first step.
Look, but you're not going to take my eyeballs if I look into this.
If I feel cu' you'll you'll let me have my eyeballs if you continue
to help us, I guarantee keep them. Okay, no harm will come
to you. Okay, and the uh think and crouch and I look in
and what you need me to dose? You look in? That's it for
now, okay, and I let it skin. Oh good. I looked
through all the options and I find the door where they are stationed, and
I you know, press that one to open it. Okay, painless,
right, step one done. However, we're going to have to we're going
to need your services for just a little bit longer, and then we'll leave
you alone to get back to your life. Okay, thank you, Marcia.
Okay, okay, and I want to Uh, I want to roll,
I guess manipulation yep, to soothe her to so she believes what I'm
saying. Okay, So then what we'll do is we're going to be doing
well yep, I was gonna say, we're gonna be doing two roles.
So then, speth on your sheet, you will also roll manipulation. It's
going to be counter Now when we do the opposing roles. Do you want
me to push for the opposition role or do you want to like she rolls
or I roll? She rolls, I roll, she rolls. If we
push, no, no, if you're going to push, go ahead and
push now, Okay, yeah, yep. The person that is defending in
any situation does not get to push. That's only for hand to hand combat,
right, It's only for physical combat, not for manipulation. Uh,
I think it's I'm not sure. I thought it was only for physical but
yes, if that's the case, then we will just do We'll just say
that defender does not get to push. Okay. Wow, So this is
a tie though, all right, So what happens do you think what happens
in a tie was like combat? Well, you both managed to get a
hit in usually or it cancels each other out. So I'd say, you
probably try to reassure her, but for you know, she doesn't trust you,
right, But that's a fail though, That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
but she rolled two as well, and so did you. That's what
I'm saying. Yeah, so they would cancel each other out an offset of
something like this, like I get it if we're punching each other and both
miss Yeah, but a manipulation if if it doesn't land home, it's a
failure. See what I'm saying. Yes, that makes any sense? Yeah,
it does. I don't know. I guess we'll just improve it out.
We'll see what happens. I'll just leave it to you guys as if
we didn't roll. Are you comforted else that? I hope? I'm really
try out, I will, I will. Yeah, what do you say?
No, the tone of my voice. I believe that if she cooperates,
she'll get out of this fine. So I guess just take take how
I'm acting, and then I guess go from there. All right. Anyways,
Okay, so the next step Asia is and I point to like there's
in front of the reception or on the side or somewhere. Is like a
couch for people who want to wait. It's like a nice I'm picturing like
a nice white leather couch with like metal bars and you know, very like
Art deco kind of a couch for people to wait to be called for whatever
they need. My friend is going to sit next to you on that couch
while we wait for other friends to come, and he's going to keep his
hands off of your mouth because we're going to try and build some trust here.
I don't remember you make a sound louder than a whisper. There will
be consequences, and we don't want any consequences, either of us. I
certainly don't, and I'm sure you don't. Okay, friend, please escort
her to the couch. I gently take you over to the couch with just
a hands on your shoulder. At this stage, there's no physical force involved
and just very gently sets you down, and then wordlessly, without asking,
I get you a cup of water from a water cooler and hand it to
you and sit down next to you. Thank you, and I at the
terminal, I send the elevators down to the to the floor where I open
the door and have them open and waiting for them to use them and come
up. Hellois, this is Marcia. She's helping us tonight, and we've
already gone over the rules of our engagement, our arrangements. The rules are
she helps. She lives, simple as that. I cast a night of
Bob when he says this, yeah, I give you the same look.
And then but you see me shake my head slightly. I'm trying to make
sure that Marcia doesn't see it. But I go, all right, see
me roll my eyes for a quarter of a second, and I go all
right, Okay, okay, she's on you. You have to go three
more flowers up, and that's where we will find what we're looking for.
So Nara gave you a range. She gave you three floors to look between.
And then r J was previously on at least one of those floors.
So okay, now, RJ, you said you've been here before, yeah,
once or twice. What I'm looking for is a room with what looks
like a bunch of computers for analysis, data analysis room, probably something with
higher security, because this is one thing that this company does not want anyone
to know or get out. Are you familiar with the room I'm talking about.
Unfortunately, you might have to specify, Tyrrell, most of these floors
are just that R and D computers. Okay. I she didn't give me
an exact floor. She said one of these three. So that might mean
we have to explore each room one by one or we split up. I
don't recommend splitting up, but if you have a good argument for it,
what I'm willing to hear it, I haven't known just yet. It's faster,
it makes much faster, but we can't communicate, or we don't have
well, we have only one Marcia and I look at her again. If
you can, if we can go together and get to the first floor,
it'll take some time to search. Oh, you have equipment for that.
I've totally forgotten. And I look back at Marcia again. Marcia, the
floor we're looking for is one that's going to have high security. Yeah.
Yes, it's going to have a lot of computers in it, and it's
going to be filled with scientists more often than not. And these scientists are
specialists. They know a lot about replicants and the design thereof what floor would
I be looking for? You would be looking for him forty two? Okay?
I think as Skiff is asking politely this question. I walk up to
both of them. Skiff mentioned how we have one of her. I think
I look at her the same way I looked at Skiff before. Then I
look back at him and I say, well, in all actuality, we
have two keys, and I point towards your face. We're not doing that.
We're not doing that. And I just instinctively go over my eyeballs like
this, like, oh God, don't look at them. We don't have
to do that, right, please, please let me keep my eyeballs earn
them. You're sure it's floor forty two? Yeah, y, yes,
yes, yes, I'm sure. I'm going to at you on the shoulder.
I'm going to move towards towards this person. I'm sorry, did you
did you introduce yourself to the group yet? I did? Okay, I
said this Marcia. Yeah. I will make my way to Marcia and and
I'll say, Marcia, you're gonna make You're gonna make it out of this,
all right. You understand we're not here for you. We're here to
do a job. We're here for information. Okay, Okay, we don't
want to hurt anyone, but we will if we have to okay, and
I look around. Do you need something from you right now? No?
Just if you need my eyeballs right now, I can look into something.
Stand up the stand hold my friend's hand. I gestured, oblige, I'm
come with us, and I start walking towards the elevator. Okay, so
you have she has taken you to floor forty two. Is that where you're
going? Yeah? Okay, uh, the let's roll stealth. One person
in the group is going to roll stealth just to see if anything gets picked
up on the cameras. Yep, yeah, I'll push that zero. I'm
gonna reroll both. It's one success. Okay, please continue. The door
opens. You are now in floor forty two. We can assume that there
is an egregious amount of security actually when you get to floor forty two,
like the lighting changes as you are now entering into some really high secure not
just technical labs, but also informational labs as well, where we know that
they were having secure projects where the people even working on them could not leave
the area. So remember Tyrrell is this massive building again that's five story,
five hundred stories tall, but also the floors are exceptionally large. Floor forty
two is going to have like whole football field size projects, maybe like four
or five of those broken up into sections. So you're going to have to
choose who's going where where if you're all going together, which is also fine.
R J is the familiar. I look around where we've entered from.
Is that similar to where we were before? Again, you mentioned how large
these floors are. I think, well, okay, let's roll because I
wanted to give it to you and just say yeah, but like, you're
right, the floors are massively large, and every floor is potentially going to
look the same, So why don't we go ahead and roll observation. It's
the best kind of memory recall I can give you at the moment I've gone
to two. Okay, yeah, then yeah, oh yeah, but you'd
also memris the blueprints as well, so yeah, you recognize this could be
I mean, assuming they're going for the data that you're going for, it
did very well. Could be on this floor for sure. If they're not
going for the data that you were going for, then it it could be
this floor. Maybe a floor around here. It looks similar enough, though,
but these are the high lockdown experimental areas. It's as good enough as
any I'm not sure exactly what it is you're looking for, but yeah,
if it's going to be anywhere, this is a good start. Well,
skiff, follow your lead because I don't. I'm not even sure what I'm
looking for other than the truth. So I pull out my kay and I
pull up the floor schematic because you said it on three floors, so I
have three of them, and I go to floor forty two, and uh,
pull up a rough schematic of it, and I point to areas like,
Okay, Bob and r J, you go this way, Kah Galen,
and I will this way and are oh ship, I was using your
names. I was trying to I did so well up to this point.
I'm not using anybody's real name. And then I'm probably fine at this point.
And then I say all right, and uh, blithe, did you
just say you know Bob and myself? Yes, two pairs of two?
Is that not? Do you want to split up more than then? I'm
going to go with Bob. I need to see him through this. Okay.
It might be for the best, as loath as I am to admit
it. If Bob is enough like me, there's no need having two of
me in one place very well, and you're with me and well lithe yes,
entertain our guests but not okay, all right, let's roll one D
three Zeke, you do it for me? Roll one three? You got
it? Yeah, trific. We're starting with skiff. That was the order,
right, yep, you said me and RJ Wright skiff and RJ.
Okay, let's do it all right, So we've we've pointed off our sections.
Now RGIE and I are that's right. Okay, Now you are going
to What we're going to do is we're going to roll observation and stealth again
in our pairs of two one in one? Did we lose? Do we
lose our J as well? Here? Okay? Okay, I wasn't sure.
Sorry, okay, So observation was that you from before? R J?
Yeah? Okay, So one of you choose stealth and one of you
choose observation into each floor essentially is what we're going to do. I got
to see them both, so I have a D in observation and a D
in stealth. So okay, well then I'll do as I go stealth two
and A one. Are you rolling with advantage on purpose? No? It's
fine. Its would have been a one because of the nine is in the
two spot. But yeah, just be aware. It's on the very top
of the sheet. It'll say advantage, disadvantage and the like. Do you
see that up there. I've fixed it. Okay, perfect, all right,
no need to no need to reroll. So that was a one in
a two. Okay. So skiff, why don't you describe what you're you
know, I don't think we've ever seen you doing like a search mission before,
so why don't you describe kind of what that looks like for us or
what your mythology would be to kind of like find the information that you're looking
for. It's code. Yeah, I think I'm looking for uh, I
mean, forgive me, but I'm looking for nerd stuff, like like stuff
that would give you away as being someone who is highly intelligent, highly uh
trained, something like like uh one of those one of those cups that have
like a joke about the periodic table on it or something like that. Okay,
so you rolled, you rolled an observation too, so hmmm, and
you have RJ with you, So I'm gonna say that RJ can guide you
through the hallway in the room and like I said, these whole kind of
let's think of it like you've got this huge concrete floor like open warehouse,
but then inside this warehouse of a floor, you've got football sized field concrete
buildings inside that you would then need to get into that has houses the experiment.
So whether the experiment is going to be a bunch of computer rooms and
data and then the living quarters that we had you guys living in in a
previous situation or what have you, but it's all inside its own little space
contained on this floor. So let's just say there are five yep, just
just to retcon something real cool. Yeah, sure, if possible to get
into this floor from the elevators, Yes, we had to use a retinal
scam. Yes that is correct. That is correct. So if I thought
we needed her again, I would have brought her with, but I'm assuming
that's what explained why we don't need her now. Yes, that is correct.
Okay, so you needed just to get even onto this floor, and
basically nobody on this floor has permission to leave, right because all the experiments
are in here, so it doesn't really matter. I would probably say that
each little football field has its own little like security but let's just say that
it's it's something that can be bypassed with the bad technology that you have and
a finger pass code. You don't need the retinal scanne to get into these
little football size things, because otherwise r J wouldn't have been able to get
in in the previous episode. Okay, oh okay. So let's say that
there are five of these to choose from. And this may not seem like
it's important, but it is important. So I'm going to need you to
pick a number one through five. I need to know which building you're going
into, which of these little football size field containers on three? Zeke okay?
One? Two, three, one okay, So you well, we'll
say where you rolled observation, So we'll go into the first one two it
is, yeah, okay, not yeah, we could do it. We'll
do it right in the center. Then two it is, so you'll go
ahead to have into that building and your observation is a two, which is
a critical success. So we're going to say that you find a lot of
information that is unfortunately not exactly what you're looking for. But do you know
exactly what you're looking for? From Nara? She told you to grab no,
but I on it from from Bob telling me he's a replicant. That's
right. Okay, So you are very specifically looking for any information related to
this to YEP, to the lapd. Okay, that's what I needed to
know. So you I would love for you to role play out looking through
here, but ultimately you do not find what you're looking for here in this
spot. But I'd love for you too to have a scene together, Okay,
I would I would like to know what sort of information am I finding
in this that is not what I want? Like what is this section for?
This section is going to be for information on replicant biology, very specifically,
like how to yes about skin synthesis, that's right, skin synthesis.
It can be like I mean, I'm sure you might even find data on
the breaking point of the average replicant bone, you know, like it's everything
about the biology in the gene genome that was being modified to make replicants.
So you'll probably even find sections on like because they have the mining out in
space right now in the colonies as well, so you probably have what they
manipulated in the genome to make them resistant, to know the chemicals out there
or to make them, you know, a little bit better suited for that
environment. This is the type of information that you're finding. I want to
say that this location, this area we're in, even though it is pretty
clinical, because obviously it's a lab, it's a science place. Skiff mentioned
nerd stuff. I imagine that the people who work here are within the ninety
nine nine percentile for intelligence in the entirety of LAM beyond. But in this
particular lene that we're in, I think what gives it away as to what
they are researching here kind of similar to how like in a biology classroom you'd
seem like an anatomical statue or something, or a model of like a person
bones organs. You know, how like in some kitchy like cafes and stuff
might sometimes have on the walls like living mold that's been kind of frozen green
tiles. I think in this lab, maybe in the foyer area, maybe
perhaps like for some reason, there are no scientists here. Maybe it's break
time, maybe perhaps it's just not time for work. Maybe perhaps they're in
another room. But in this area we're in, it almost like on the
walls. I think we don't clock it at first as to what it is,
but they seem like picture frames, one a bit bigger, maybe perhaps
like a large landscape, but it's not of anything in particular. It's at
first I think we think it's like, you know, the pattern that cows
have, like the dairy cows, that kind of thing. But on closer
inspection, draped over these frames our skin, and it's like one portrait it's
just like pale skin on the wall, stretched another one a large painting is
like it coalesces. It's almost a little bit like a vital igo, almost
a little bit like different people meshed into this frame as a testament to what
they're doing here and designing on this floor. So you see me like looking
at it, looking around from piece to piece, and you see I have
a confused look on my face, and I look to you and I go,
I know this isn't what we're looking for. But what am I looking
at? I think when he says this, I'm going to tear at one
of the portraits. As I do, I think it doesn't give way easy
its replicant skin. However, pushing hard enough through the frame, it does
tear and you make out the different layers of dermis, albeit different at the
same time. This is purpose built for replicants who now live on the moon,
resistant to things like radiation, and I think I recoil to this.
I don't look disgusted, but my hand moves away from this strange side.
And then you see it eel almost like a plant growing in like a real
time or stop motion, coalesces, scars, and then heals whatever it is.
I don't like it. That must be still no experimental phase. I've
never seen that an injured replicant heel like that. I can't say I have
heel like that either. But well, I mean, we're in the heart
of it now, aren't we kind of beautiful, kind of sick. Let's
move on. I'm on your six, all right. We're gonna switch over,
and we're gonna switch to live. Actually, I'm curious as to what
you two are doing. They gave you instruction to sit and watch and make
sure that she didn't do anything correct, m So go ahead. I think
I'm having small talk with her, to be honest, because they said entertain
our guest. So I've taken it quite literally, and I have her.
I have her, you know, I don't know if there's security cameras or
anything like that. But I'm probably trying to be in the most out of
clear line of sight that I can be with her, waiting for the others
to come back. But yeah, just like and just you have a very
pretty name. Well, thank you. It's my grandmother. Was her name
is Marcia too? What's that like having family? Hy? Uh, it's
if you can't replace it. Oh, I was told I can be replaced.
I and my hands are shaking. I recognize you. You're one of
ours, yes, next to six. I am. I knew somebody on
the team that was part of your design. And this is I was brown
hair instead of blonde. And I remember I was walking pasty, I was
walking past the kitchen and I heard them joking about it, and I thought
it was it was It was odd. How why would it be funny?
You know? I would they care about blonde or brown or red hair?
Why would it matter? And I thought, well, I guess it's so
specific, so specific. I my hands are still shaking. I place one
hand on top of your shaking hands, and I look you in the eye
and say, I don't like to hurt people. That's not what I'm made
for. So I don't like to do it. I've only killed one person
and it was only because I had to. Oh, oh ah, will
I hope I don't give you reason to kill me. No, you seem
very nice. I really don't want to have to hurt you and all my
friends they are very serious and professional. Do they want to scare you so
you do a good job? Well, they'll probably do a pretty damn good
job. Then you're doing a very good job so far. Can I ask
you something? Yes? Is it just this group? Or are there more
of you? More of me? How big is he? How many are
are written buildings? It's just this group where I don't I think it is
just us? Oh for hey to be very I'm sorry. I am asking
questions. You should just that's okay. When people are very nervous, they
like to ask questions. It makes you feel like you're more in control of
the situation. Yes, so is there anything you want to ask me?
What's your favorite color? Pink? Is pink? That's a good one.
Well, what what's yours? Blue? That's my second choice? It almost
sounds like live but not quite what shade of And you can see my hands
are still still shaking, but I'm trying to make small talk. What shade
of blue is your favorite? M light blue, like the sky. I've
seen pictures of it when it's not raining. And at this I I freeze
and I think back to when my friend said that his favorite color was also
sky blue, and he was also part of design team, and I I
think I know why that is. Oh I hit friends who who passed.
But his favorite color was also the color of the sky on very clear day,
like gobalt. He said one of his favorite places was California. He
loved California. He said it was so blue. It'd never seen such a
blue sky. I thought, okay, California, what's so special? But
he never went anywhere else. He was he was he was imagining it like
it was blue. He was thinking of it like it used to be.
You know, I'm babbling. I'm sorry. And he worked on your design
and I and I actually grabbed her hand a bit tighter. And I think
that's very special. I think you're very special. And the fact that all
you want to do is comfort me here, thank you for that. I
don't want to lose my life. I love my family. I would do
anything that they say, Marcia, I promise I'm not going to hurt you.
Thank you, thank you for calling me special. Can I have some
more water? Things that're okay? I not? And I go to the
water cooler to get you another cup of water, whichever one I can find.
Yeah, do you do anything? Well? Why there is getting you
some water? I no, okay, no, yeah, absolutely not.
I look around in the room. I know where there are a couple couple
cameras, but I'm not even I would not jeopardize the rest of the team
upstairs. Oh wow, okay, yep, I would not want anything bad
to happen. Okay, we're gonna switch scenes. M all right, I
need you two to pick a number one through five, but you can't pick
two, five, five? Is good? All right? I have it
is. I need somebody to roll stealth and the other to rule observation.
I've got to c in both. So if you've got anything higher and in
both, yeah, I'll do uh, yeah, I'll do I guess I'll
do stealth. Yeah. I was gonna say, you do stealth. Okay,
so three successes for me. I'm going to push that three. I
have one success right now, Okay, I am going to push that three.
Oh wow, Okay, all right, because it's the exact same role.
You can push again if you like. How am I looking? No,
we'll keep it at one. Okay. Uh. When you walk into
this warehouse, it's very dimly lit. There are about three different rows of
tables and they go all the way down the warehouse, and there are about
six foot long individuals underneath sheets. Looks like there are a bunch of bodies
in here. Do you leave or do you stay? Stay for a minute.
I think I look over at Galen same org. Maybe all right,
it'd be some kind of an assembly line. I look around for equipment.
I think that I'm looking for monitoring devices, like if it were a hospital
or something or yeah, all right, go ahead, and now both of
you will observation for me. Please. Oh that's a zero okay, I'm
not going to push that, all right, Oh my god? Also zero
okay. So I'm going to interpret this in a very particular way, so
you do not you do not find any medical equipment per se that you were
looking for. It. Just again, it's super dimly lit. It seems
to be row after row, but there are tags. It's very clear.
After a moment of walking through here quietly, we can hear your footsteps reverberating,
and you can see tags on the toes of these people or these bodies
that are in here. Would you like to look at the tags or anything
or would you like to leave? I'll do it. Yeah, okay,
I think I'm definitely hesitant looking. Things are feeling real right now, So
I think I'll step back and like Galen, go in and look right,
Galen, roll me a one D three? Yeah. Two? You see,
ah, you see a tag that says kay Nakamura or Nakayama. Excuse
me, I'm gonna pull back the sheet. Uh you do see what appears
to be doctor Kano Nakayama, and it looks like he has been shot twice
in the chest and his eyes were removed. Na Kayama. I'm gonna start
looking looking at the nearby toe tags. I want you to roma one dy
too wah. Two. I'm going to d m you. It has this
date on it. After I pulled the sheet back for Nakayama, I'm I'm
a little surprised, and I would say, oh, what the hell it's
Nakayama, and then I and then I immediately start to look at the nearby
tables and tow tags. Look at the next toe tag, and you see
my expression just drop out. I go a little still, Galen, what
is it? I'm over at Nakayama's body. I think I've leaned over it
and just observe the the damage to this body. Trying to put together as
a detective does what has happened to this known, fairly prominent individual that we
have investigated to some degree. But I look up and I look over at
Galen, and I have started to move in that direction. Okay, it
doesn't make any sense? What doesn't? And I have I'm looking at him,
but I have moved over to a different, different table, trying to
figure out. But I will stop, and I look down at the tack
that's in front of me. I don't say anything. I let the tag
go and I walk over to Galen to see why he has stopped. My
body language is pretty tense. As I walk towards you, I hold up
a hand talk to me. I look at you in the eyes, and
then I look down to the sheet and then pulled his sheet back. You
see yourself there, bob burned and blackened. There's jagged cuts as if glass
had torn into your skin. I uh, I'm looking at it from a
little bit of a distance. It's funny how you don't recognize yourself. I
wonder what he went through. Pull the toe tag, I dangle it in
front of you. I walk back to the table that I'm at, or
that I was at. Then you have to know what this means, Galen.
I start rushing around to the tables and I start pulling the sheets back.
It's this one, Galen. Stop. I'm sorry. There's nothing I
can say other than you're you, just like you told me, you're you.
It doesn't matter when it started, it doesn't matter when it ended.
It's not your fault. Fall back on my on my heels fall down to
the ground. I and I've moved closer to him slowly, and at this
point I have crouched down in front of him, and my arms are sort
of hanging, you know, between my legs. I'm just watching them for
a second. I guess it makes sense, doesn't it. How'd we get
out of there? Or I need you to think like a detective. Okay,
because what this means is they had us ready. I don't know if
they had an r J ready whatever, whatever the program it is, that
they're running whatever secret bullshit that they're running. They've advanced it. They looks
like they have continually built upon it. This is awful, and I'm sorry,
but this is good information and I need your help still. But you're
not alone. You've got a friend who knows exactly what you're going through.
I look at it, the necklace that he took off. Take my glasses
and the necklace that I had around my neck into my hands. For a
moment, I look at them. They weren't real. No, no,
but you are. But no, they're it's bullshit. It's all lies.
They don't belong to me. I don't know if they do or don't.
They're in you. They're yours, and until you die, they can't be
taken, even if they can be given, they're yours. They're not mine
anymore. And place the glasses in the necklace down on my body. I
look up to you, Bob, and I and I search your face to
see if I can find purpose, as if your face has my purpose.
You see determination and drive. You see the same thing that you saw every
day when you got to work. If you have purpose in my face,
then it's one you're going to have to figure out, because all you see
when you see Bob is acceptance. But there's no judgment. My tears have
stopped. My body language is different. I stand up. What do you
want to find here, Bob? I want to know how many there are.
I want to know what they're doing. I need to know why I
exist, whatever path, plan project that created me. I need to find
it, because I honestly don't even know why. It doesn't matter. We'll
go together. I don't move. I stand there for a second. I
walk up to him, put my hand out. Partners, our nurse,
Now you're back. You won't find your answers here. We need to keep
looking, Yeah, I look around at the bodies. Yeah, okay,
and then turn towards the entrance that we came into. This one little artician
start walking towards it. What's going on is that you? We heard it
from down the hall. It's okay, it's okay. What's going on right
out the way here? I glanced backwards at the sort of opening, and
I look back and I go, remember when the spinner crashed? And then
I sort of move and what dim light you can see. You can see
a row of tables with what seems to be bodies and sheets on them behind
me when spinner crash, when right after we first talked to Sawyer, you
and Salma had gone in. Do you remember he wasn't? Yes, yes,
yes, I remember. I was on my way out and then got
pulled back in. Yes, our spinner crashed, if you remember, Yeah,
but you you were all okay, No, didn't know. I look
over at Galen, didn't know. There was no way anyone could have walked
away from that. And you didn't, did you. No, you're right,
no one could walk away from that. Well. I don't mean to
be the fucking hard ass here, but we got a job to do,
so let's do it. We all have shit, we have to rectify.
Where have you guys looked? We got back from what looks like to building
to bioengineering they're making they're making the super healing replicant skin. But it's not
what we're looking for. And we have dead bodies here and Building five.
But this might be what we're looking for, might not even be. We
don't even need information. We just need proof those bodies in there, because
that proves that they've infiltrated in YPD or the LAPD doesn't raise on you.
I think that we can keep searching. We keep searching. We can use
the data stick that I have, I'll find the right room. But if
we take one of these or forgive me part of these bodies, these are
proof right here, solid evidence that Tyrrell has infiltrated the LAPD. We'll keep
looking atice, but this is a good backup at least for something, just
so we're not empty handed. Okay, doctoring a picture is easy enough.
Does nobody have a camera? I do? I'm o kay o that Nara
gave me. I can send a picture right to her. Do you want
me to do that now? If you can communicate through this, if you
can get that there and ask if that's enough? Fuck? I didn't even
think about that. And I checked my KA to see if I get Do
I have like an outside line so to speak? Yes, absolutely, it
might be worth it to wait just in case your signals intercepted. If that's
something they can do, well, I'll take the pictures now then, And
I walk in there, and I stop, and I look back at Galen
and Bob. With your permission, that's not me, go ahead, that
is not me. Okay, all right, walk in there, I walk
over to Galen. This isn't enough for me, then we'd keep looking.
Okay, we don't have too much time left. I want to go to
Building one. Okay, go ahead and roll observation for me. Sorry,
wax performance, fuck me up a little. I rolled it two. Okay.
Building one, uh, will be the experimental room, or a replicas
experimental room of the world on that rj infiltrated in the previous episode. So
it's actually a replica where they had basically two sets of people running the experiment,
but they thought they were the only people running the experiment. So this
is not the room that rj infiltrated before. But it is an you know,
it's mirrored. It's an exact, exact replica of it. So you
can find the information that you're looking for here, but one of you is
going to have to successfully do a tech world to extract It reminds me of
an old birthday party. I look around at anybody like I went at our
time. This is the one time, one time in the last half of
many days. I wish we had Selma. She could do this, no
problem, wouldn't even break a sweat. I think I catch that look from
Bob that he knows as well as I. I'm mucking out for this,
Yeah, I do. We're not going to be able to do it.
I speak for r J. What about blithe mm hmm. No, learn
about Barcia. Yep, I'll go get her. Yeah, I start talking
back to the uh the security checkpoint where hopefully her and blytherer are still there.
Yeah, sure, yeah, speaking of checkpoint? Mm hmm. How
long has it been since we have appropriated Marcia? Oh? I was going
to say forty five minutes to an hour because you were searching, but you're
also quick. That seems about right to me. Forty five minutes going on
to an hour, and going off the fact that she has these credentials,
these permissions, she's pretty high up, or the very least pretty trusted,
that's correct. She wouldn't have to maybe perhaps phone in every now and then.
Would she for them to know when she's on break or off break where
she is? Or would I not know this? I mean, I think
you assumed that you did a lot of research on the Tyrell building and who
you could use to infiltrate previously. I think that's a safe assumption. What
do you think, Sia do you think that you do you think that you
have to phone in? No? Okay, she I'm pretty sure you work
on two exclusive floors, right, the one above this one, and then
there's another one down below. And you caught her going in between the two
of them, right, But she doesn't leave the building otherwise, is what
I was going to finish with that, So she probably doesn't need to chick
in. Understood. H So I go up there. What do I see
them in that place? Yeah, they're they're sitting there. Or see it
has a water. We need you both come with us at the sight of
youas starts shaking again, okay, this time instead of touching you or man
handling you, I stand up and I just extend my hand palm outwards to
you for you to take, and I take your hand, and I stand
and I lead her after after skiff it this way, I lead her in.
I take the data stake and I grab her hand from underneath. Can
I put the data stick in her open palm and easy to put what's on
there on here, all of it? Okay? Okay, okay, and
then I begin the process of doing that the writer there is the way I
can do just a tech role okay, and I will too, if it's
cool with you, I will do an insight role to make sure she's not
tripping any ship. Yeah. Absolutely, And you could also have advantage on
this tech roll because this is your office. If you choose to have advantage,
like if you're actually trying to make sure that they get all the data
and you're doing what they ask, then you can have advantage. Yes,
okay, I figured, well I did roll one, so it's something I'm
okay with. If you I can roll again if you need me to.
Well, it's just with advantage means you get an extra dice to roll,
so we can just I'll keep your eight, but just go ahead and roll
again and I'll do the next two. There you go. That's that's okay.
So I kept your eight, which means the next roll was a twelve
and a four, which means you have a four. Okay. You have
no idea how important this was. This is all the information that they could
have needed or wanted. You have put on this stick for them. Okay,
So I take everything to make sure this file and the it's so but
here I'm shaking and I handed back to you. Is it? What do
you need. Yes, thank you, thank you. You don't know how
much you've helped us today. I yeh, I know you and I know
you, I know both of you. I want to show you happy to
help. I want to show you something he can I show me. Okay,
okay, And I take her by myself. Oh wow, Okay,
okay, okay, okay. I don't worry. Your job is done.
I just need to see so it's my job done. What it means.
I just want to take if I do, you will, okay on the
last thing. And I take her into the room with the with the corpses.
Okay, and I I put my arm around her shoulders and guide her
with me and got her in and I tell her to look, this is
what This is what Tyrell is doing to kick it or the kicker. They
didn't know one of them until just today, just now. This is what
Tyrell is doing. This is why we are here, This is why we're
doing what we're doing. I just wanted you to see. H. I
already knew. M you can kill me if you wants, but I already
knew. I'm sorry, I have I have a family, skiff. Yes,
let her go, H And I I had my gun out and I
put it away. Why I had to. They said they would send me
back if I didn't. We're not murderers, Skiff. She knew, she
knew what they were doing. It doesn't matter. From this moment on,
you're you and I'm me. Every choice that we make determines who we are.
Let her go, okay, partner. Then I walk out. I
turned to a nearby trash can m Marcia. Yes, your life is going
to be different from today on m h Yes, don't waste it. I
won't. I'm going to live for my family. Thank you for thank you
for sparing me. And turn and walk away as you do, and you
turn the corner. Galen, you see Bob standing. You know he was.
I was within earshot of everything. They just went down. You're you
and I'm me, and what we do with that that matters. I have
an idea, Galen. When she said that she downloaded everything, everything that
we wanted. That's no purpose to have for life. It's the only thing
I've been thinking about is getting in here now. I don't even want to
see any of it. We are what we were made to be. Maybe
I can still be that. I need your help or only if you want
to give it all right, the APB that went out, it didn't mention
me in the same vain as you. Skiff? Is this stupid, Galen?
Could I do more from the inside? Could I get back in?
How many of us are out there and they have nobody? There's one way.
There's one way that you could get back in, Bob. Yeah,
I'm going to reach in to your coat, check out your gun, put
it in your hand, and then point it at my head. I pull
the gun back. No, oh, I think we can do this differently.
I'm not good with the technical side of things, but judging by the
stuff Skiff has, Nara is h I'm not going to kill you. I
can't kill you. If that's your decision, then how are we going to
get you back? I look at the gun again, and then I look
at them really seriously. It'd have to be public, you know that,
right. It would have to be a show if things were reversed. This
is what I'd push for you. What has to be your decision. The
only memories I have are pain, and even those memories don't belong to me.
M you can make new ones I have, hell you have. We'll
talk about it. Let's get out of here. Over tells Skiff. I
won't I give Galen a very big hug hmm, about the closest thing to
a brother I got. But we'll do right by the people, right.
I'm sort of stiff as you hug and I put my hands up and I
and I hug you back and I rest my head on your shoulder. This
is the real, by the definition of whatever real is. I don't know.
Ope not. Let's go yeah, let's go. Hello. This is
