MHM. Welcome everybody to Table Stories Facade. Welcome. On the last episode
of Table Stories Facade, we saw several things happen. We saw Doctor Copeland
uh I Guess, seeing herself in her home, but as a young version
of herself, the last time that she was happy about five years ago,
before a conference. We heard her prep her notes for the conference on the
nature of Human Cruelty and Morality. And a cat was walking around her place,
a black cat the name tag Ada. She saw her Raven Gladys inside
her cage, her Raven Gladys, where there was a beating heart and the
cage was covered in blood. Scratches began appearing in the wall and rats started
pouring out. She woke up and found a note attached to her bedpost mister
Hoffman, suggesting that he cleaned up her mess in more ways than one.
Professor Charles saw another mirror of himself and flashed back to a time when he
was with his sister and niece playing on a swing. It flashed forward and
saw that she'd gotten hurt, and he helped her put a plaster for our
UK friends on or a band aid. Had a conversation with mister Hoffman about
making a deal for protection. Mister Hoffman suggested that his employer could rid Professor
Charles of the Passenger entirely. Professor Charles suggested that he could get him access
to the university change for this protection often encountered with suggesting that he needed a
notebook belonging to doctor Copeland, and if he wanted to be rid of the
Passenger entirely, he would trade for a still beating heart. Remy and Quinn
saw doctor Copeland in the dream and they were questioned about a notebook, the
notebook that doctor Copeland believes that they took. She said that she needed the
book. Quinn was unwilling to confirm anything and said that she wouldn't reveal their
location. They'd be willing to talk at a public location off of Madison Avenue.
They had a conversation with Detective Devange, who was allowing them to crash
at his place. Talking about Green. Remy showed him a picture and he
was flabbergasted. He seemed to know her. He said that she died over
twenty years ago on his first case with homicide, stabbed in an alley.
When Remy and Quinn left size apartment, they were looking for maybe a phone
charger and deciding on whether or not they wanted to talk with doctor Copland at
all. When they were leaving in the lobby, he heard a gun cocked
and pointed at Remy. Max was leaving her apartment. She had managed to
get some rest and I guess a little time to process the situation. Seemed
like she was ready to check out, just leave this place. She saw
her neighbor from across the hall, and her neighbor suggested that Max was making
strange noises and yelling when she was sleeping. Max asked her neighbor to look
after the cat. She agreed, and she headed off to the subway.
She ran into that long clawed sort of person that seemingly wanted to kill her.
She pulled the gun that she was given by mister Hoffman, and this
person that Max nicknamed, I believe it was Barney or was it Barry?
I can't remember Barry. Barry Okay left without any violence. Today we start
with Max. Max, you're in the subway. Where are you headed?
I'm going to be headed to the area of the local bus station, the
closest one that's going to be taking heading out of town. Okay, probably
the Poort Authority. Uh huh, okay, fair enough. So the subway
stops and you kind of up on board and off you go to the Port
Authority. It's about what you'd expect on the train. I believe for your
time frame, it was about uh, I think just about lunchtime if I
remember correctly. Uh. You head to the Port Authority building and it's really
active. There's tons and tons of people outside and it's extremely diverse, and
then there's just a lot of things going on. Large buses kind of moving
all about. You can see some Greyhounds buses that are heading to New Jersey,
and it's just really kind of a busy place. Do these places bring
you any anxiety or do they bring you comfort? Or do you like this
kind of activity? The fact that there are a lot of people makes me
anxious, but the anonymity of it doesn't. It doesn't have the same trapped
feeling as a subway. The fact that it's a lot of people coming and
going and it's also anonymous kind of feels a little a little safer that the
bustle of it doesn't, because you have to keep your eyes on everybody.
Okay, So uh, there's like a ticket counter, uh kind of situation?
Or are you're looking for a ticket counter, you're looking for a information
desk? What are you looking for? I'm going to be sort of debating
it for a while. I'll just kind of stand there watching the buses leave,
watching people queue, trying to decide what to do, and I kind
of want to keep an eye out if there's any of my contact So in
anybody I recognize around for sure, whether that's positive or negative? Are they
going to make two disadvantage roles for me? Please? Okay? Okay.
So when you look around and you see the various amounts of people here,
there are there's an overwhelming sensation of like people looking at you. H okay,
I'm gonna have my head down then in that case, just kind of
looking up through my hair, trying not to look like I'm looking, but
definitely my hands are starting to knead together on my waist and just tapping my
fingers on my wrist, just rhythmic. There's nobody I recognize, right,
Oh, it just feels like everyone is staring at you. I'll reach behind
me for the gun. Is that does that feel hot or normal? The
gun? Uh? Does feel hot with a touch. Fuck, you're still
feeling rather warm. It's just kind of been getting worse since you've been traveling
port authority here. Okay, Okay, I'm going to be heading straight out.
Then I'm not going to be staying here. This is feeling like it's
not a safe option. Okay. If there's I'd imagine because I got street
contacts around the city, and then there'd be somewhere like vaguely close by.
Yeah, sure, you want to use your street contact move yeah, okay,
So for street contacts, you have contacts among the homeless, crazies and
other societal outsiders and outcasts. So it could just be some homeless people.
It could be some crazy people that you know, or just I mean at
the bus station, Like there's usually a lot of homeless people, there's also
a lot of interesting personalities to find there for sure. Okay, I'll be
looking around for a guy I know called Darryl. Okay, he's kind of
he's quite flamboyant, unexpectedly so, like he's stepped out of a weird almost
a historical novel. I find the do you wear like an outfit or something?
I think he tries to dress it up like he's smarter than he is,
but it's more in his in his manner, he's polite and doesn't take
things too seriously, and that gives me comfort. I've spoken to him before,
for sure, So maybe dressed up but a little bit dirty. Yeah,
okay, yeah, I think you see Daryl probably playing uh some like
maybe he's got like a little three card MONI set up. You know,
Yeah, that sounds so that right. He's like, all right, find
a queen. Find a queen. Find a queen. It's as easy as
finding the queen. Keep your eye on the ball. You don't want to
lose the ball. You don't want to lose the ball. You're keeping an
eye out. You keeping an eye out. That's right. I can do
this with one hand. I can do this with two hands. Where's the
queen? Where's the queen? All right? Place your bets? Place your
bets, Any takers, that'll be twenty twenty for a guess what you got?
Uh left? Ah? Sorry, not this time, not this time?
All right? Who's next? Who's next? Come on? Place your
bets, place your bets. I see like loads of people going past him
and not paying attention or like scam I'll be I'll kind of catch as eye,
give him a little wink, walk up and go yeah, go on,
then, um, all right, place your bets, place your bets.
What you got, You got a twenty mm hmm, pull a twenty
out and slap it over. All right, Let's see how fast those eyes
of yours are. And he goes into like overdrive, uh playing three card
money, and yeah, you can make a role for this, absolutely.
I think probably this is a perception role. Observe a situation. Oh,
okay, a ten, so you keep a good eye on it, all
right. But he does something with his hands where he maybe like bounces the
card for a second, and you like, wait a minute, you got
it down to two cards and it's either the middle one or the one on
the right middle. He flips the card over and looks sour. All right,
big winner, big winner. Here you go twenty for you fucking a,
thank you very much, and I'll walk away. I'll walk away from
him going, oh that guy is so slow. Fuck mean, that's the
easiest twenty I've ever made. And just let the crowd assemble and just right
right, no need to push, no need to push. We got we
got all the time in the world, all the time in the world.
Ah, and he starts to play a few more games, and I think
you probably wait just a little bit. Yeah. Well, while that's happening,
I'll go into this like a coffee shop or something nearby and spend that
twenty on whatever coffee order he usually has, whatever sandwich he likes, and
keep the change and put that in there inside the carrier bag. I'll wait
for him to to finish up. So he's basically just got like a cardboard
box that he had this set up on, and he just kind of he's
got it like flattened out. He says, Hey, thanks for the help.
Next, Hey, no worries. Okay, sit down next to him
with my back to the wall and kind of open the bag up like a
picnic in a cardboard box. How's it going, you know, Samul?
How you doing weird weird week? You're going to elaborate on that? Where
to start? Look, I don't want to like stereotype, but if I
said weird shit people who know about weird shit, would that mean anything to
you? Go ahead and make a role for me. Please make a charisma
role for your street contacts. Move yeh, I'm back. Hi. You
can ask three questions, holy shit from the street. Contacts list there in
your advantage. Okay, okay, who in the city. I would know
more about how to get bullets for this gun? Mm hmm. Now when
you say weird, what do you mean weird? I mean like like,
are we talking? Are we talking drums? Here? No? No?
No, no, you know me. Fuck sake, listen, everybody needs
a break now. And then that's all I'm saying. I get my kicks
elsewhere, you know. But no, this is looking like a little looking
for a little company. No, no, I'm appreciate the off because I
can tell you some weird places to go. I don't bet you can,
dirty bastard. No, this is this is like a whole new brand of
weird. This is like, okay, okay, laid on me, laid
on me what you got and I kind of has he got it like a
long coat on, I think, And I kind of pulled the edge of
it so that it's covering my hip and just show him the gun. Whoa,
there's plenty of cops around here. It's support it, just like not.
You don't have to put your fucking fingerprints on it. If you don't
trust me, just like with your arm or something. Does it feel hot?
All right? All right? Like just pretend you're feeling my ass?
Come on, all right? All right? Yeah, he goes in heads,
he goes ahead and like, oh that's nice and uhh yeah, it
feels like with the back of his hand, and he says, ah am,
I supposed to feel something or that answers that I guess. I just
I think I've got mixed up in something weird. And it's not like it's
like mafia, but like next level, like sounds fucking stupid, like supernatural,
like something. I don't know. I figured you might at least have
heard something, but if it could just be in my head, okay,
okay, okay, what makes you think that? Okay? I ended up
in like a meeting at the club and there are some weird fucking people and
I thought it was just like a mob thing. I didn't even think it
was. I don't know what I thought, but it they gave me that
and it gets hot and it got hot, and this guy turned up.
He's it's like twice now with these big fingernails trying to fucking kill me,
just covered in scratches, and then this woman showed up and like there's no
scar. I nearly fucking died and there's no scar, or there's a scar,
but it looks like this, and I kind of show him the black
Come on, you just felt my ass? All right? All right,
all right, this is some This is some serious shit, is it.
Look? Look, there's plenty of shit going on around this place all the
time. Max, Look are you sure you want to get involved with this
kind of thing? To think? I already am? I don't know.
I came here to get the ship. Look I I I maybe I know
somebody. Okay, maybe I know somebody. Uh if if that's something special?
Uh maybe uh oh okay, listen, apparently I need am I for
it? I don't. I don't get it, but I okay, I
feel like I'm being watched. I feel like I'm being watched and just showing
this claw guy the gun made him funk off. Okay, Okay, somebody's
going to challenge me on that sooner or later. I need to be able
to make it. You know. Apparently it's not normal. Okay, okay
for the fun. That means, all right, listen, I know a
guy. Uh listen, he's not a good guy, all right, any
of them. Look, I know a guy that's into this kind of weird
ship. Okay, Uh name said Wardo, ed Wardo. Yeah he sounds
he sounds great. Look I don't I try to have him into weird ship.
It's not gonna be like that fucking joke where you sent me to the
wrong place last time. That this isn't like dodgy No, no, no,
in the wrong Listen, listen, listen, listen. You made me
some money. Okay, you made me some money. I just listen.
I'm just trying to help, Okay. You know, I appreciate what I
want. Why would Why would I want to hurt you? You know,
you know, but it was not you're trying to hurt me. You were
just trying to have a chuckle. Look uh all right, listen, I
can turn your games the other way if you want. Like I said,
Like I said, you know, Eduardo's not the best guy. Uh.
But what am I keeping an eye out for. Is he? Is he
like touchy? Is he stubby? Is he he's a little crazy money,
a little crazy. Okay, he's a little crazy crazy. I can do
Okay, Uh, look, you know, uh uh he's Uh, you
can find him. Yeah, he usually hangs out around Grand Central, Midtown
that area. Uh, I don't have a specific spot for you. He's
usually uh he's got like a little stall that he tries to set up.
It's usually just a cardboard box with some weird ship, usually in an alley.
Okay, what's he like? What's he like? He doesn't know me?
Yeah? Uh how do I make him like me? Is this one
of your questions? Can I ask that? That's a question? Yeah,
I'll say that'll kind of count as how can I get into a location?
In this case, we'll say that that's a uh that's part of that.
Uh. Uh Look, if you find him, Uh, it's usually not
easy. Uh. This is gonna sound weird, Okay, uh weirder than
hot gun and cloor guy. Yeah. Uh well, I mean it's kind
of weird. Uh listen, Uh you gotta uh he gets out like a
he tries to find something right with and uh, he finds like a pen
or something, and he just kind of writes on the cardboard box and he
says, you gotta draw this, and he makes a symbol on the cardboard.
You gotta draw this, but you gotta write it. In blood.
Yeah, this this sounds like the right kind of wird, wrong kind of
wad. Fuck. Okay, one day we are having a conversation about how
you know this? Look, uh, you got things to trade? Trade?
I just give you twenty No, no, no, I don't mean
me. I mean with Eduardo. What does he like? I don't know
what a crazy guy's like. Last time, crazy girls, last time he
wanted to lie, I have chicken. Okay, Well how about I meet
this crazy guy and see what he fancies as a pet slash dinner today?
All right? Fuck me, this is a weird week. Yeah, one
more question. If you want to use it? Can I bank it?
Or does it have to be now? I think you have to use it
now in this case. What rumors are circulating at the moment, Uh,
it's kind of coincidental. I guess that you asked me about this because,
uh, there's been some talk on the streets. Uh, you ever heard
anything about uh you know, you know, you know, like uh you
know, uh you ever you ever hear about like you know, the uh
like secret societies or anything you went into that kind of stuff. We like
Mason's weird handshakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Well,
there's some talk, uh, there's some talk uh on the streets about these
uh, these guys asking a whole lot of questions lately. They haven't come
to me yet. They've been asking a lot of questions, uh something about
a murder. Uh. And if you if you hear anything about H.
E. W or Elysium within, I would say you need to listen.
And depending on the situation, you need to run. Well, like I
point to the bus. These guy's got a lot of money. From what
I understand, they're just like those you know, rumors about the Masons or
whatever. They run everything. Uh. I'm probably you think the mob is
bad. They probably owned the mob. Fuck didn't like more for anything,
all right, I kind of like you. I'm probably not gonna be around
for much longer anyway. I just need to get these fucking bullets and then
I'm gone. All right, look, uh, just you know, let
me know whatever happens. Okay, Yeah, yeah, I'll try. Yeah.
You can finish my sandwich if you want. But it has got avocado
in it, and I know you don't like that. It's good for you.
You should eat something green. The only thing I like that's green.
I think you know what it is. Yeah, well, rich man can
get scurvy too. Yeah, scratches the back of his head. Yeah,
kind of looks around a little bit, and he nods his head and kind
of walks away. I sort of watch him go, and my hands are
shaking a little bit now and that kind of annoys me, and keep looking
from the bus to him to the bus, just anxious. So I guess
I'm heading to Midtown Grand Central. All right, you're taking a bus,
you're taking a cab. Uh, you're walking kind of far, but it
is walkable. A lot of people walk a lot in New York City.
Yeah. If you look at the subway map that that's up there, you're
going from West on the east Side, basically m right in the middle,
seventeen to twenty one. Right now, after what just happened in the subway,
I'm not keen on that idea. I think I'm just gonna walk in
for now. Worst comes to the worst, I duck into a subway.
But I want as many options open to me as possible. Okay, you
switched scenes. I think we're going to switch to Professor Charles. You are,
uh in the middle of I guess finishing up this sandwich at this deli
with mister Hoffman, and he has just told you about this beating hearts.
I'm sorry what I believe? I was queer? He's still beating hard,
but very special one. What makes sense? Special? This one doesn't technically
remain in a body, yet it's still beats. I've I've had a very
very strange couple of days a heart that beats and it's not in a body.
You're going to have to explain this. Imagine I am a child.
Please, I'm going to need you to find out its location from doctor Copeland.
She has been performing various experiments. Yeah, do everything goes back to
doctor? Is she working for you? Is this she just? Is this
what she's involved in? I don't think you need to know that. I
will suggest to you, though, that your passenger very well should be a
priority for you. You know, you seem very concerned with my passenger,
and yet the pair of you are. He seems very concerned with me,
Anthony. How should he be? Perhaps? I mean, if I just
do what he wants, I can get rid of you, can't I you
scared his eyes? Is that what it is? Is anything in life?
Easy? Anthony? He seems to be giving me a very clear way as
you just get rid of you and make this stop, which is more than
which is more than you have ever done a bargain with this Hoffman. This
Hoffman good very well or new something significantly worse than me, Anthony. That
sounds very much like you're trying to bargain. You're the one at the table,
Anthony. I'm just along for the ride. You are the one that
is bargaining here. You concerned, Professor Charles, Yes, mister Hoffman,
are you interested or not? Should I leave? I suggest that you will
not have another opportunity for this deal. It's take it or leave it?
Which would you prefer? So? You want to know pad or a heart?
It's that simple, is it? And you solve my problems? Make
stop for protection and the heart to be rid of your passenger. And Copeland
is the root of God. And how exactly for someone with the means to
get rid of my passenger? Mister Hoffman, you seem very similar similar to
you make demands of me and yet demand I have given you the price.
You are the one that came to me. Now what will it be?
Professor Charles? Do you know where she is I have. I haven't seen
hi. I went to the university. Idem fine, I will. Doctor
Copeland should be currently in her apartment. I believe, if nothing else has
happened, you should still be there. Perhaps you could even call her.
You should have her number after all. And I take my phone out quick
and scroll through. My human number will be in there. Oh, yes,
yes, I have her number. In fact, I mean we could
call her now together, couldn't we. I'm afraid I need a decision first,
Professor Charles, I'm a very busy man. I have another appointment very
shortly. I I will go and see doctor Copeland. I will, I
will. I will get you whatever I can. I can draw up a
proper agreement without knowing which you prefer. I don't know which I prefer or
you. Sho's my offer to you. I thought you wanted to get rid
of me, Anthony. I don't know anything other than wanting this to stop.
And I will take whatever is the shortest path. If that's getting rid
of you or getting someone to help me, I don't care. I have
business. That's my offer, mister Hoffman. I I will take on your
services. You can either get one of these items from me or none of
these items from me. I need a role influencing another. Okay, no,
he modifies, mm hmm eleven, mmm mm hmm. Very well,
Professor Charles. Let's see how this goes. That's pretty much been my last
two days. I will speak with my employer, and depending on what you're
able to do, we will alter new agreement. And I just want to
text you on the same number when I get something. You can always reach
me at that number. Good day, Professor Charles. Oh you have something
right there? Oh sorry, I like I'll go to almost like do that
polite thing of getting up as he goes to leave an extent a handout,
because I'm still in that mindset of being ridiculously polite. He's already like walking
away a right, and I'll grab my jacket and if like, if Artie
is around, sorry, Artie've been playing control. If a teachers around,
I'll just sort of give him a wave and and leave the deli and we'll
co out into the street. When you go out onto the street, he's
nowhere to be seen. Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes. Anthony,
No, dear Anthony, No, I don't don't worry I'm sure you'll
find out. I am counting not at which scenes, Doctor Copeland, What
are you doing? I am in my apartment getting my things together. I
am. I had some notes, not my notebook that I need, but
some other things, documents related to research chemicals procedures. I am. I
have gotten dressed in clothes that aren't covered in blood. And I just want
to look around and see what I see in your apartment. Okay, I
think you looked around before and you've found some I mean, you found your
phone and whatnot. Are you looking for anything in particular? I just I
just want to get like this set the scene a little bit for the next
part. So the phone is fine. I think Hoffman is cleared up just
about everything that I would need to walk around amongst people, most people,
And I can't shake a feeling of paranoia, like like maybe there's something waiting
for me just outside the store. Okay, I mean you can observe a
situation. Okay, it's resumption in there. Okay, you can ask me
a question, was there? Ah? What is being hidden from me?
You give your place a pretty thorough look over. Yeah, you find a
very small camera, probably like in a really weird place. I think if
you have like a fan or something, maybe like it's winter, so you
probably it's like turned off. It's you know, maybe it's you've got it
off to the side. I don't know, but there's probably just a fan
and there's a really small camera that you may catch a glimpse of it.
I don't react. I don't want anyone who's watching through that camera to know
that I know that it's there. But it confirms some of my suspicions.
Which room is this? Where do you think it would be? My living
room? Okay? And it's in the living room, Okay, I uh,
I probably angled to the door. I take great care too to appear
as calm and natural as I can. I think I need to meet quinnin
Remy soon at a pad tie place. I look up directions on my phone.
How far away is it? Mm hmm. I know it's on Madison,
but there's no telling where. Yeah, I mean, you look it
up, I would say, I mean it's it's a bit of a hike.
It's probably like I'd say, you should probably take the subway or a
cab or something. Okay, all right. Then I decided probably like a
few miles, you know what I mean. Sure, I know that the
subways have a police presence, so I'd rather take a private cap. Okay,
I get a jacket, space in the pockets. I don't have my
my heart, do I? You don't have your cooler, okay, But
I have my documents, the documents which detail the the reduction procedure for research
chemicals six do I. So it's possible, however, unlikely, that I
may be able to synthesize more if I can find a new host. Is
that possible? I guess that'd be a role m I think, Uh,
I guess not. I think you just know. I think you just know.
Uh. Yeah, it's possible, Okay, definitely possible. All right.
So I need to get a few things if I'm going to if I'm
going to manufacture more of it, I'll need ingredients, I'll need an access
to a lab, and i'll need it a research participant. Mm hm I
uh. I take some sunglasses off my countertop, big ones, prescription,
and uh I put them on. I have a coat on. It's very
cold outside, and with my documents stuck under my arm. I checked my
phone one last time. Do I see anything on it? Any other messages
or anything. Yes, nope, okay, mhm, is my is my
bird still here? She is still there? Yeah, she's probably just squawking
in the cage. Okay, goodbye baby. Ah. I uh, mister
Hoffman, what ha I walk over to the cage. Well, what did
you say? Ah, mister hey, mister Hoffman, I see, I
see. I take a deep breath and I walk towards my door, and
I have my hand on the handle. I take one last breath, and
i'd like to open it up. Okay, open the door. What do
I see? A hallway? It seems normal. Mm hmm. There's probably
a little bit of prime scene tape, just a tiny bit. It's been
left there. Let me see all right. Then I continue through the door,
walked through. I checked my phone for directions to the pad type place
and walk downstairs the halo cap Okay, head outside. I'd like to halic
cab okay, uh, probably doesn't take you very long. Yeah, it
begins to pull up. Okay, where you're headed, Madison? The pat
type place out there? Okay, thanks. I get into the backseat.
I am. I take my documents and a pen, and I checked my
phone for Quinn's number I jotted down on my documents, and I begin to
dial Star sixty nine and then Quinn's number to make sure that it doesn't come
up on color ID. We switched scenes. Very different scene is happening Remy
and Quinn. Quinn you were about to head out Remy. Behind you,
Remy, you hear sound of a gun cocking and you feel the metal pressed
against the back of your head. Who the fuck? And I think maybe
holy shit? Um, Remy kind of like slowly puts his hands up,
just like, um what um cute at all? Quin. As you look
behind Remy, you can see probably like a middle aged man, a little
pudgy, white hair, bald uh glasses, looks a bit disheveled, but
wearing nice clothing. Tie is a bit askew. Uh. I don't want
it is, I don't want to do all right? All right, all
right, you're you're uh, you're you're him? Aren't you you're him?
What the fuck are you talking about? We don't live here, We don't
live here. This is not an apartment. I have just the wrong person.
Now he got the wrong guy and down all right, all right,
shut up, shut up, shutting up. Cue you told me to shut
up soon, shutting, shutting up. You're Lemy Turner, aren't you.
Yeah? Already McFly on Instagram. That's me, hm hm all right,
you're gonna come with me, both of you? Oh cute? Okay,
okay, okay, yep. Just can you just take that away from my
head? Please? He says, If you do anything stupid, I'm gonna
shoot you. Okay, what the fuck? Man? He takes the gun
and he he takes his jacket and starts to like cover it up. But
you can feel the gun like against your back, and he says, does
he look nervous? Can I assess you can try and read a person?
Yeah? Old on, I have to refresh roll point. Sorry, it's
still notloading for me. Oh that's fine. So during this, can I
make a move? Yeah? What are you trying to do? I would
like to use their devil if possible, which is oh my god. Whenever
you're entering a dangerous situation roll plus perception, choose three edges. You may
spend them during the scene. Okay, So there's different things that I could
do if I oh what have I done? What have I done? And
let me just uh get that. I'm like literally my right speaking. So
now let me go, I'm just gonna all observe. Okay, choose one
of those edges and you get to bank it. Oh my god? What
all right? So? Okay? So can I uh? Is it not
attacking me yet? I'll just use the get out of the way avoiding attack
one and I'll bank that. Okay, mm hmmm, quhen, Yes,
I got a twenty two? Yes? What are you trying to find out
here? As you try to read a person? I want to know two
questions. I don't want to know if I can disarm him, really,
so I need to know if he's like, if he looks like he's familiar
with using a gun, or if he looks nervous? Is he sweating?
Like? So, there's a bunch of different questions that you could ask me
from the read a personal list? Is that how you are? How do
you feel right now? Is that what you're asking? I guess it's more
what are you about to do? Do? I think he has the stones
to actually shoot Remy right now? I think he looks nervous enough that he
could shoot Remy. Okay, how can I get you to drop your gun?
Judging from his manners, I think that. Uh, if you manage
to be quick enough, you might be able to disarm him. But you
are in a disadvantageous position right now. He doesn't look like he's super confident
with this. He looks nervous. Yeah, I still haven't even turned around.
So so then I look at there's definitely like a few there's definitely,
like i'd say, at least five feet between you, because you were ahead
of Remy and he's behind Remy, so there's at least five feet between the
two of you. I look at you, Remy and not just just do
what he says. Yeah, you know what, Yeah, wherever you want
to go, just don't try anything stupid. Okay, just just go outside.
And I don't want you to yell or stream or do anything. Okay,
we're gonna get inside my car. We're gonna go outside. We're gonna
get inside my car. Okay, yeah, yeah, And I'm gonna and
you're gonna drive. Okay, you you want me to drive? Right?
You know, he's a much better driver than I am. That is true.
He's not lying. Shut up, that's okay. Sorry, Okay,
well, you know, just thought arrive alive. Maybe all right, I'll
try let me just slowly, you know, he puts his hands, like,
get a little bit down so it doesn't look as awkward. And then
just just point to where your car is and we'll we'll, we'll, we'll
be on our way walk outside and he uh, he says to the right,
keep going, keep going. Please tell me you don't drive standard.
Please tell me you don't drive standard. Fucking yell or do anything? Come
on, come on, come on, yep, yeah, yeah, get
it. What do I see around me? It's a street. I mean,
it's a busy street. There's a whole bunch of people around and whatnot.
He's got the coat sort of around the gun. You can observe a
situation if you'd like. Yeah, okay, I keep having a refresh.
Sorry, it's all good. Twelve. You can ask me one question from
the observer situation list. What can I use to my advantage? That depends
what are you trying to do here in this specific situation. Disarm this man.
That will be my primary goal until this man is disarmed. If you
are trying to disarm him, I would say creating, creating a distraction,
maybe using someone to bump into him, is a good way to do that.
Do I see somebody that can bump into him? There's people walking on
the street. Can I trip one of them? You can try? Absolutely?
Yeah absolutely. If if from understanding this correctly, my observing of a
situation is I can use somebody to kind of bump into this guy, then
yeah, I'm gonna definitely take advantage of that. I'm gonna do that for
sure. Okay, So in this case, this is going to be this
is going to be acting under pressure. You get a plus one from your
observe situation. I get plus two on questions when I observe a situation with
my instinct advantage. Oh, very cool. Let me just you don't get
a second question, right, you just get a plus two. He just
says, plus two on your questions when you observe a situation. Yeah,
okay, yeah absolutely, I'll get a plus two. Okay cool. Do
I add anything for remy my relationship? Yeah, relationship, So we have
a plus we are vital right, Yeah, it would be whatever you have
written down, Quinn, not what is written down. Oh okay, got
it. Thirteen. Okay, so you uh, there's just somebody walking.
Yeah, So I said to him, I don't want to buy that stock,
what are you crazy? And and you just grab this guy and what
do you do? I just trip him so that he falls into the other
guy. I don't I don't make it obvious that I'm the one doing it.
Just fucking trip him. Okay, So he falls into uh, yeah,
you trip him. However, what happens is he bumps into Remy,
and uh, Remy, Uh this guy just wait what he just kind of
falls and slams into you and uh, the guy behind you with the gun,
Remy. I think I'm gonna need a roll from you. Remy,
all right? What kind of role do you need, sir? That depends
how do you react? So I see him bump into me, and I
don't even see q do it, right, So I feel like he almost
just randomly tripped and fell into me, and I'm like, oh, I'm
so sorry. And I guess it makes a little bit of distance between me
and the guy that has the gun to my back, you know, so
like I stumble myself, you know, and I act under pressure a bit
more, all right, Okay. And I don't think this is with your
relationship with Remy with Quinn in this case, Okay, I think it's just
a regular coolness, just a regular act under pressure. Cool cool cool I
can do. I'm literally acting under pressure and herlive right now? Okay.
Uh, the guy's like, jeezus, what's going on? Hey? Broad
watch Wat's where you're going? Man? You watch where you're going? Leave
us alone? Hey, what you know? I'm sorry, I triped whatever
you believe? This ship guy starts like walking away. So while this is
happening, I would have liked to try to disarm the man with the gun.
Okay, So like I'm falling forward and yeah, like while this distraction
is happening, I would like to engage in combat Quinn. Yeah, okay,
plus violence. Yeah, and uh, I'll say, you have a
plus one from Remy on this situation, but not like a full thing.
But I do I get a Do I get a plus for the advantage that
I just took advantage of? Like I just created an opening for me.
You get you get the plus one from that? Oh okay, you didn't
fully succeed, Okay a thirteen. You inflict damage, but at a cost.
Hmmm. And I still have my edge as well, so remember I
will it's shout Remy, lookout, he's got a gun at this point,
I'm like an ex screaming lookout gun, and I'm like, you know,
the stry fucking guy, he's trying to kill me. Yeah, I think
that he Uh, You're you're just kind of like wrestling for the gun.
No, God, No, I'm immediately trying to use what limited cop martial
arts class I took when I became an investigator to try to take this guy
out. So I'm just like, I'll try to choke him out. So
you try and and and like jump on this guy or whatever. He's a
little disoriented from the situation, and you try to jump on him, but
I think he just kind of it ends up being like you kind of wrestling
with him. He doesn't allow you to like choke him. He grabs you
and he kind of like slams you against the building that you're you know,
walking around to get to his car or whatever. And should I do be
I just like smack his knee, like I want to kind of make your
coat down on the ground, all right, So I think, uh,
I think he you know, he kind of yells a little bit, but
he he like wheels back and hits you with an elbow like in the face.
Go ahead and avoid damage. What does it avoid harm? Avoid harm?
Yeah? Sorry, yeah, roll reflexes Quinn. All right, you
see the elbow come back and he like smacks it into the building. You
dodge out of the way. Uh, just kind of nimbly, and uh,
he's kind of like spinning around, Remy, are you doing anything here?
Yeah, So I was gonna try to like swing my camera at him
and just clock him in the head if I can. Yeah, go ahead
and uh and engage in combat. All right. I'm like, I'm still
off balance. I'm still off of off balance, and I take my camera
from my neck and I just you know, on some David and Goliath,
and I just swing as hard as I can swing the camera. It's smashed
against the wall and just smashes smashes. Okay, I was fuckled to avoid
harm. Assuming you were gonna and I completely miss and think you did the
thing. It probably got like stuck on something, like you had it around
your neck or whatever, and you try to like take it off, but
it didn't come all the way off and it just earing. So I might
even rip my earring off like while I do it, like I'm pulling it
over my head and it gets caught on my earring, and I just rip
my earring off while I swing it and then completely Whammer's smashed. How's the
crowd reacting to us, screaming that this sman is gun by the way,
yeah, there's people are just kind of like scattering. People are unn like
a police officer or anything nearby. I don't think so screaming. Somebody called
the police this man's got a gun. So people just kind of ran.
I don't think you hear anything immediately though. The guy kind of like he's
dealing with Quinn right now, Quinn, you're sort of occupying you. Hear
Remy like yell as he tears the earring off and smashes his camera A fuck,
oh my god, no my camera? Uh, Quinn, Remy run
and I just I don't even know where I'm going right now. Actually,
I I grab it off the ground because I think the SD card is still
in there intact hopefully, and I just I just run. I don't even
know where I'm going. Okay, you start to book it, Quinn,
you are wrestling with this guy. Yeah, and and Remy's out of sight
now where he's Remy's trying to run. You can hear the guy yelling and
like, yeah, damn it, dammit, dammit, and uh he he
sort of like turns around and he's he's trying to point his gun at you.
Quinn, I'd like you, Am I still hanging on to him?
Or yeah, I think you're I think you're trying to Yeah. Absolutely,
he's still trying to like turn around and point the gun at you. Listen,
hear you a little fucker. I think I know you've got into some
deep shit, but you have no idea what you've gotten into. Now you're
gonna fucking walk away from me and Remy right now, and I'm gonna try
to intimidate the hell out of him because I know he's nervous. Yeah,
you can try and influence another. Oh shit, this is let me see.
I think I have a special skill in this. I don't I have
for reading crowds. Okay, ten mm hmm, Sorry, hold on,
I think part of the move got hidden there. Let me check that's okay.
Do you want me to read it? Uh? Yeah, but the
it's not complete on the in that hand out. Oh okay, I think
I might have missed. Oh is it for influence other or yeah, it's
influence other. So ten, she does what you ask, but the GM
chooses Yeah, yeah, but there's stuff there. It's the option, it
says, choose an option below. But we're not sure. Oh I see.
Okay, it's double so uh he demands better compensation. No, no,
no, no, no, no no, it's a different thing,
trust me. Oh sorry, I'm like, so, I'm on edge.
Okay, okay, that's for a PC. Okay, okay, we were
trying to say. So he looks at you and he says, get off
of me, Get off of me, Get off of me. Did you
hear what I fucking said? He says, you don't understand. No,
you don't fucking understand. I don't want to see you in your Remy or
I again, you don't understand he's dead no matter what. Ah I think.
I squeeze a little tighter on his neck. Then like, I don't
want to see you you around Remy again? Do you understand? He says?
He says, m h, it won't be me. Then it'll just
be someone else. Then I'll fucking deal with them too. Now fuck off?
All right, I'm a cop another influence other. YEP, I say
you got a plus one on us. You start to hear some police sirens
in the distance. You hear that he got a fucking license to carry that
don't need one. I'm gonna try to just stay here with him. I
guess did did that successful thing work? Then the sorry, I'm so confused
on how this works. Was it an NPC or PC role? It was?
Yeah, So they do what I asked, But then you choose one.
Does that apply? Yep? Okay, so then I can let him
go and he'll funk off. Uh. He He's basically like, I don't
need one, doesn't matter, doesn't matter. He puts the gun down.
Okay, then I'll let him go. Okay, you can see the police
car start to arrive. Then I'll book it. I'll chase after Remy.
You run, well, do I know where Remy went? I'm pretty much
like you just saw Remy run off. Yeah, then I'll go in that
direction quickly you're running. I'm not going to run if it's going to attract
attention unless there are other people running, and then I'll scream and be there's
he has a gun. There's a police car arriving on the scene where someone
was claimed someone claimed that someone had a gun. Yeah, you want to
run. Well, I don't want to run and I don't want to attract
attention to myself, but I would like to leave before they get there.
Yeah, walk very far asked. Yeah, like I don't want to be
this interviewed. I don't have a gun, all right. I think I'm
gonna need a roll then, just to see if you can get away before
they arrive. Sure, act under pressure. Sure, that's coolness. Uh
okay, okay. As you start to like try to walk away, mm
hmm. You hear this guy yell we'll find you, We'll find you again.
You can't run, you can't hide. Remmy Turner is a dead man.
I'm just walking away and flipping him the bird. Off you go,
and Remy you are, Yeah, you've run off? What are you doing?
I'm just like, it's just like running. I don't know where I'm
going. I'm just not saying much. I'm literally just like, QQ,
what have I done? Fuck? And I'm looking for anything familiar, like
as far as where I am am, I like I recognize where I am
at least right or to an extent. Maybe. I don't know if you
feel like you've been in the area before. I think so, because we
left the detective's house and I've probably been here before, but I'm not like
super familiar with it. But I'm just gonna look to find some either restaurant
or like a place with people in it, like a convenience store, you
know, uh, something like that. I'm not going down any alleys right
now. That's that's not happening. Okay, I'd like you to make a
role. I think probably maybe uh you can observe, I think just to
see. Yeah, so I'm looking for like a convenience store that I can
kind of what does these follow my roles? I got five? Okay.
Yeah, when you when you're trying to find something, I think you're just
too frazzled by the situation. You know, it's too much. You're a
bit overwhelm. It's broken. You may be like even trying, like you
like open the door for a few places, and then you just know,
like no, no, no, no, you know, like it's not
that no, they'll find me or something like that, and you open a
few places and walking too, like a sex shop by accident. Maybe as
you open one door, it's probably like a maybe just like a bodega or
something okay. Probably where you were going to go to pick up a charger,
okay, and as you walk through the door, someone grabs you by
the rest. Who And that's where we're going to take our break. Ye
that could have ended very badly. I know your Jesus. I felt on
like a gut level doom. I was shaking, My palms were so sweaty.
I have like this little h distowels you remember from last time, the

Homie cues you'll they'll be here soon. All right, all right, Just

in. There's like an uncomfortable silence as he's looking at you. I'm just
like staring back anyone. Uh can I read a person here? Just to
see? All right? I know I can't. Remy is people illiterate.
I'm just looking at him, and it's kind of like there's a really long,
uncomfortable silence. It's it lasts way too long, like it's maybe a
minute. And then like the door, you know, you just hear the
chime on the door as Remy as Quinn walks in, and Quinn probably walks
into us, just like I'm just looking there, like the half or rather
the empty bottle is on the counter and also the full one, and then
the charge is there, and Remy is kind of just like okay, queue,
hey hey cue sure. Yeah. It's like it's like twenty two bucks
and I didn't bring any cash. That's twenty four thirty six after tax.
Oh yeah, got the big man. There you go, thank you.
You can keep the change man. That's that's a tip for letting me use
your charger. Thanks tip, Remy, it's like ten cents. He looks
at you. He looks at you, and he's like, thanks, no
problem. Yeah, we'll be bad. Sorry, thank you, No problem.
Pooh, and Remy grabs everything. He throws the empty bottle into I'm
like, you guys, recycle, Remy, what the hell? Man?
The guy holds you up with a gun and you run off and buy a
charger. You don't go get help. I could have been shot. Cue.
I didn't know what to do. And then and then I told you.
I ran into Green and she said that everything was gonna be okay.
She said that I was fine, and oh, everything was gonna be a
dead girl said it was gonna be okay. So just let's leave Quinn with
the man with the gun, No big deal. I'm so sorry. I
didn't know what to do. Oh, I don't cry, Remy, it's
okay. It was a very tense situation. Might get it. Just you
know, I got to know you have my back, man, I've got
your wife. He holds up his camera like, yeah, you know,
it looks like a flat it's a flaccid camera. Oh, Remy, I'm
so sorry. All right, I suppose you have that insured. I might,
Ah, I think I might. I'll have to look it's on my
computer to see if I actually got it in charge than huh. It's the
only camera you got now, it is, But I got a couple of
others. It's just not as good as this one. I've I really like
this camera, I really, but you know what, it's just stuff.
At the end of the day, we'll get you a new one. Okay,
mm hmm. We probably had How did they know where we were?
I don't know. C Like, I don't even know how green new she
grabbed me. She's a fucking dead person. We have no idea. She's
probably walking through walls and ship right, But how did that guy know where
we were? Did you ask him? No? I think I'm afraid of
the answer man. Yeah, the only person know where we were. And
Quinn, I would like you to make a role for me. This will
be act under pressure. I think, who this one of us is there?
That is a very lucky and good role because you realize that your hands
have been kind of clenched this whole time, probably from like anger and fear,
et cetera. Not really, but you have something in your hand and
it's a pin and it says, e w on it w a pin?
Like is it open and piercing me? Uh? Yeah, it probably would
have been. Yeah, it probably didn't even realize it was poking you.
Shit, Okay, the fuck is this? W your hands bleeding? Yeah?
What is that? It must have been It must have come off the
coat when I was grappling him. Take it off? What is it?
What does it saying? I don't know. Can you take a picture of
it? I mean, is that too soon? So let me holds up
the broken camera again, and it's like phone, I mean with your phone?
Sorry, I don't sorry, I need to I need to get I
need maybe one of those mobile chargers to plug this into. But it does
have a little bit and yeah, hold on and he does it, but
like the flash doesn't work or anything like. It says your battery is too
low to it's literally like yeah, zero point five percent right now? Okay,
all right, and hopefully phone turns off. Fuck all right? Well
I don't know the that Well we can find you know, and that's no
problem. We can find any place to charge it. I just you know,
Oh, where the fuck did that come from? I think it came
from his coat. I think it came from that guy. You got to
figure out what w W. Does Remy have any idea about e W?
Because I remember we were talking about it before, but I don't know if
I was part of the conversation or at least it's it's shown up a couple
of times. For sure. You don't. I don't think you've heard anything
about nothing about it? Yeah right, Ill, And he just says,
ill, I don't fucking know. Yeah, I just toss it onto the
counter or the floor wherever. Your phone begins to ring. Quinn, Yeah,
I still drop the fucking pin, but yeah, pick up my phone.
Yeah, hello, doctor Copeland, Hello Quinn? Uh? Ada?
Are you on your way? Yes? And I hang up. My pa
came up. Excuse me so much, I'm so sorry. Shut down reactions.

Do you have it with you? Or are you lying to me?
You can try and read a person if you'd like. I will say because
because you are, because it would be your relationship with Quinn here, doctor
Copeland. But I think you've got a minus one because you're trying to read
it through a phone as opposed you don't have like all of your Also,
our relationship went down after the last Yeah, if it's hers, it's whatever,
doctor Copelands, is with yours. Okay, read a plus intuition,
please, Doctor Copeland. You don't know, but I think the the implication
is there, Quinn, you uh, okay, can tell you she doesn't
believe me. Okay, Look, we got people coming after Remy. What
do you know about that? Explain everything that I can when I see you
and get the book, And how do I know you were telling me the
truth? And then you're not gonna hurt Remy too? I've never tried to
hurt Remy? How do I know that of reason? Could I possibly have
to get back to your happy place? Sounds like you do anything to get
back there. Yeah, that's what I fucking thought. We'll be there in
twenty minutes. My hang up with such scenes, Doctor Copeland. You're almost
there, can you? Hey? Can you just pull over? But a
block away? Uh? Yeah, whatever you want? Okay, thanks?

go inside? No? I think we I assumed I had walked in and
sat down, so she was on the phone. Yeah, she's hanging up

What's the world at a table together? Yeah? Sure? Were you sitting
down at a table? Yeah? I walked in and sat down at the
table my back do theor what do you know about? What do you know
about these people who are after Remy? Why are they after How would someone
be after Remy? That's a good question. I don't get it. That's
a great question. Don't make any sense to me? Dot and don't.
I actually don't have an answer for you. What they Can you describe them?
Yeah? Just an average Joe had an E W pin on I think,
Yeah, I don't know, but he was he had us a gunpoint.
It was fucking horrific, almost die. Doc. Okay, you're okay
now? Yeah? I and remulation Q like you're good. Did you bring
them here? Where are they? No? I let them get can buy
the cops. I scared them off, okay with my Bravado. Okay,
good if he is my Brovado, that's my my bro well Tto. I
I don't know why anyone would do that. Yeah, I I don't know
either, but it happened, all right? What do you know about the
torturer? And Remy's like it sounds like you don't know anything. Ada.
You promised all these answers. You don't have any Where's the book? Quinn?
That's what I thought you weren't gonna help us. Ever, you don't
have it, do you? No? I didn't bring it with me because
I'm not an idiot. I'm not telling you that. But uh left it
in the cab. Uh, we don't have it. Did you text Professor
Charles the address? I haven't yet because I'm not quite done with the meeting.
Look, uh, it's it's okay. I want to be able to
help you. I just need to just know we can do that, okay,
which is really yeah? So what do you need right now? Well?
Help you? I need outlet actually hold on And then Remy goes to
like find any outlet to plug his phone into. Is he all right?
Just like there's like people eating. You're just like he's like reaching over.
Excuse me, excuse me? Yeah, I think he's just shaken up.
Man, we got held up by gunpoint. I don't know, I don't
know. Okay, Okay, he just wants to charge his phone. I
guess. Okay, listen, a lot of ship has happened, data,
and I can you know, I stood in front of the TV, in
front of all those people to kind of cover for your ass because I believed
in you. You know, everywhere out is. Look, they've got an
apb out for you. Everybody's looking for you. Why what did you do?
Well? I uh, I want to tell you, but if I
do that, I suspect that you're not really going to be very amenable anymore.
It's a new follower, Oh my god. So really, uh there
are two options, right. Remy's like hovering near this other table, like
there's people that are just kind of like stare, and I'm like, what
the fuck? I noticed that it's a guy from the convenience store. He
actually followed me on to I know that you two want these answers, and
you can have them, but only if I get my book. Yeah.
I was willing to give you your book if you actually answered the questions in
good faith data. But I don't believe you're going to do that from my
perspective, Quinn, you had me stab a heart Ada. Your perspective's a
little skewed and hard to follow, if you don't mind me saying so,
there's going to be a lot more oh events like that unless you can threaten
me that book. No, it's not a threat to you. I just
need a I just need that book. I need it, Quinn. I
can't help you unless I get it. Understand I WHOA want to help?
What the fuck? You shit? I can't do it until I get the
book? Okay, Ato, what the fuck is going on? I need
it? You look like you fucking died. I need it, Quinn,
who has it? Just tell me it means nothing to you. It's worthless.
Yeah, but it means everything to you, and that means I have
leverage. You can call me when you change your mind and you actually want
to fucking talk to me. Okay, okay, until then you're not getting
your fucking wait wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait wait okay, okay,
uh, I'll tell you what I I can answer whatever you need,
but I need to see it. Okay, I want to see it.
I want to see the book. You know I have. You know it's
not I know it's not here. I know it's not here. I just
I need to see it first. Okay, I'm not taking you to it.
It's a fucking magical, weird book. What if just looking at it
lets you do weird shit. I'm not an idiot, Ada. Okay,
Well, since you don't have the book, I I can offer to help
you in another way. Yeah, okay, I'll answer your questions, but
since it's very clear I'm not getting my book, I'll lease your help with
something else. Good questions. It says you're an expert in reading when others
are lying, but that's kind of so I can just ask these in character.
Okay, Okay, I'm not asking one yet. But what do you
want me to do? What do you need help with? Ada? You're
a private investigator. I need your services. There are two things I need,
Okay, I need I need to find a space, a quiet space,
a space with some equipment, specialized equipment like a laboratory. And I
need you to look in to everything you can find out about a professor Anthony
Charles. He works at NYU. It's middle aged. Okay, I don't
think he ever introduced himself to us, did he? Yeah? Okay,
your assistant dropped out of the window. I think, oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, okay, yeah yeah. Wait the guy, the guy whose
house apartment that we wandered into, So that's right? Was that even?
Was that even your apartment that you were taking me to? Ada? Were
you lying the whole time? It was supposed to be my apartment? How
many doors have you walked through and you've ended up somewhere else? Quinn?
Yeah, but that's the thing you told me. It was supposed to be
your apartment, But how was I supposed to be? It could have been
his apartment the whole time. Okay, list you're obsessed with this guy,
let's stay focused. I need whatever you need, whatever you can get on
doctor Professor Anthony Charles. I honestly know very little about him. Why does
he interest you? Well, you want your answers, right, What does
he suddenly have all the answers? I don't know. I don't know.
Why are you interested in him? Then he's acted kind of suspicious. I
think he's connected somehow, and I don't understand why you fucking stabbed a heart
in the fucking school. Look, I I need some answers. You have
an expertise, this is your job. Yeah, but I can say no
to a client that I think is bat shit. If you thought I was
bad shit, you wouldn't have met me here in the first place. Well,
no, I I do. I do think you're bad shit. But
I think you might be the only batshit person that can help me or give
me answers. There you go. What do you know about this? Uh?
This this guy with the card? Remy, show your card, Instagram,
show where your fire car? Yeah? Yeah, ah, but I
got I got a new follower. Oh hold on, so I think by
now it's probably like one of those fast charges, or it's at least a
like five to ten, right, I think that's good. Hold on one
sec. And not only does Remy show her the card, but he also
pulls up the picture of the pin the E the E W pin on his
phone kind of just places them on the table next to each other. What
am I looking at here? What do you know about this card? This
this thing? What do you see here? Do you see anything on this
card? Yeah? What do you what does it say? Doc? What
does it say to you? What do I say? You see knowledge of
my business? Mister S. L. Hoffman? I see a card?
What does it say, doc? What does what does it say? What
does it say? I don't understand, Moneta, you're not new to this.
What does it say for you? You? I mean, just read
it, Just read it, Just read it. It says knowledge of power,
its power, and who's on the car gat knowledge? And then Remy
looks at Q and nods, is asake? This isn't? Yeah? Uh,
it says Hoffman. Okay, what do you know about Hoffman? Hoffman
is in no way connected to this Charles thing. I don't understand. Why
is this? Okay? But is he connected to this thing? What's happening
with Remy? Oh? And then what do you know about? As far
as I know, I don't know a connection between Hoffman and Remy? That
doesn't I don't What does Hoffman do? Who is Hoffman? Have you made
any did he offer you any deals of any sort? Did he make you
sign anything? Uh? Did you've already spoken to Hoffman, haven't you?
He's the one that funded my whole art exhibition and I didn't ask for it.
What did he do for you me, yes, nothing, at least
not yet. I'd like to see if she's lying. Sure read a person.
Okay, So I think you get a little panicked at this line of
questioning, Doctor Copeland. You have a bit of a need to know Hoffman's
interest in them, and I think you give that away. I fail to
see how this is relevant to any of this, and I want to know
how Hoffman is involved with you, Quinn, or why is this so important
to you right now? Hey, this is my one of my questions from
my moves that I held off on. Are you lying right now? Lying
about? What about knowing Hoffman and his like involvement with the Remy situation?
Who are all friends here? Because it looks to me like she's fucking lying
through her teeth. I'm not lying. I know Hoffman. I don't know
what his involvement is with Remy. I just I mean, he's kind of
just like I'm going to use my second question, how can I get you
to be honest with us without giving you the book by working on these two
tasks? Okay, that's a show good thing, all right? What's the
second task? Yeah, we'll do whatever, We'll do whatever I need an
laboratory. I need it to be private, and I need lab specific equipment.
Professor Charles, Okay, do you have a list of the equipment.
I do. It's in this document. You should be able to find everything
that A you might find an a higher end methamphetamine lab. This. Oh
my god, Oh I've I might have I might know some people that.
Oh sorry, I just can't be that hard. I recognize people. You're
a private investigator. You wipe these streets all the time. Yes, I
do. You are right, So let's be clear on something. Ada.
I look for these things for you. I get you this information. Then
you're going to finally tell us the truth for your book. Is that what
I'm hearing? Yes, I have a lead on this before we're going to
tell us and for in trade for the book. So now you're adding on
two extra things. Just so I'm you don't have the book? I have
the book? Where is it? You know? This is what I mean.
We can keep going around and around and around like this, or you
can help me and we can help each other. You can help me,
help you. Thank you. I mean, we don't what the hell we
don't spook mare like? Yeah, all right, good? I need a
laboratory with equipment in a private place, and I have a lead on Professor
Anthony Charles. Okay, understood, right, see right, I'll call you
when we have something. Look at us, we're working together. Isn't this
great? Yeah? Okay, so I'm going to great. I'm going to
meet Anthew Charles in the next half an hour. Okay, so wait,
what where are you going to meet him? Uh? Well, wherever I
want around here, somewhere so you have camera, will just tail you microphones
or something? Ye yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can do
this. Yeah, you just come a few if you're done. When I'm
done with Anthony Charles, follow him and find out everything he knows. Yeah
yeah, okay, me and you, Yeah, dream team. Yeah perfect.
I'm kind of new to this, but I won't. I won't fuck
up. Thank you, you won't thank you, thank you. I look
at remy to kind of gesture. He gets out of a booth and then
so we can leave. Oh yeah, and he just like Scoots does like
a couple of these. Like I'm gonna make a quick call to who do
you call him? A friend? Which friend? None of your business you
made a call to a friend. I'm just gonna make a quick call to
a friend. Was Anthony Charles I was talking to I was talking to him.
Just now, all right, I'm going to call my friend Max.
I'm gonna call my friend Max because I think that you're a psychopath and you're
going to betray us. And she's hired help. She's gonna be our bodyguard.
Okay? Is that the one? Is that the one you were with
earlier, the drunk Yeah, the one at the train station, the one
that punched me in the face. You were gonna tail someone? Why why
would you bring why would you bring a walking confetti canon like that? I
don't professional here. She punched me in the face. She did punch you
in the face, but she she can punch people in the face. And
we were just attacked at gunpoint. It was a stroke of fucking luck.
Okay, okay that we survived that encounter. I don't care how you do
it. I just need the information. I'm Professor Anthony Charles, and if
he's doing anything, Yeah, I want to remain in constant contact with you.
Put my number in your speed dial if you have to. Mm hmm,
yeah, all right, fine, good, okay, got it,
que Yeah, I got it. Where's a good place for me to meet
with Anthony Charles, in a place where you can in a place where you
can be you know, observant. Do you know of any place? Here
is a perfect right here, there's a booth right here behind here, okay,
and then we'll just just be at the booth around the corner. Just
record him with your phone, would you. Okay, I'll call uh,
I'll call Anthony and you can call whoever Oka and UH and he'll be here
shortly. He knows what we look like. So we're just gonna be around
the corner, out of site. But trust me, I got this.
And you just record what he says. Okay, maybe knock over a ketchup
bottle or something when he's leaving. Knock over a ketchup bottle. Oh,
I can hear it. Mustard. You could knock over the mustard too,
you know, ask a waitress for something, yeah, you know, okay,
some sort of cue, Okay, get it? Sorry, No,
it's good. Yeah, all right. So we're just gonna just gonna head
over here, and I find like a booth that might have like the you
know, some kind of a outlet that is within reach that I can sit
at the booth and still have my phone plugged in. Yeah, there's probably
only like one in this area. Yeah, and you keep have We're gonna
like go over like excuse me. Yeah, I'm like looking under the table
and people are like sitting there, and I was like, oh god,
damn it, can you put that? Can you put that thing away?

you can't. Actually, I just that's wow, what is that?
Actually? We're just trying to We're just we're just trying to eat here.

to tip your waiter. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Are you still
going to try and like charge your phone? I'll try, But am I
successful or no? Well you get your influence other let's see. Okay,
I can tell you right now if somebody was trying to charge their phone while
I was eating and like it's like buying my feet, you know, like
the outlet or whatever, and like we're in a restaurant. I'd be like,
dude, come on, you can wait like twenty minutes, okay,
an eleven. So this guy, this guy is like with a girl and
he just kind of like looks at you, and it's like five bucks,
five cute? Excuse me? Do you own this restaurant? Do you own?
Know? We're dinner here and he's coming over and trying to plug something
in. He can be without his phone for a minute, No, he
really can't. We're waiting for a very important phone call. Well, then
ask the staff, what do you want me to tell you? Fuck?
Man, just just let me plug my phone and they don't even have to
look at it. I'll put it on I would even put it on vibrate.
Ah, I'll just plug it in and turn it on silent. I
pron is it gonna bother you that much to plug my phone? And sir,
ma'am, I'm sorry for raising my voice, but sir, so gentlemanly
of you, chivalrous indeed, m fine, thanks, Remy plug into your
phone? Fine, thank you, thank you, And then Remy plugs it
in and then like if there's like a radiator or somewhere, on the floor,
that it can just put it there, that it wouldn't like bother them
too much. But it's definitely not a very good location, like I don't
put it on the table. Well, while this is going on, I
just I want to just paying my location to Charles. That's true, right,
so thank you. I'm one also going to call Max when we get
to our booth. Yeah, Professor Charles, you get the text. Uh,
Quinn's you start to call Max Ax, your phone begins to vibrate.
Yeah, yeah, hey, Hey, how are you doing after last night?
You okay? Got a hangover? Yeah, I'm good. I'm trying
to keep a lying but I've got like an important call coming through as a
symptom. Oh ship, are you? Are you busy? Yeah? I
was just wondering if I, if you were free for a couple of hours,
if I could like hire you for some from from work. But if
you're busy, but I think he probably what's the just some protection work.
I was gonna go follow some somebody. I thought maybe you could, you
know, have my back, But are you are you okay? No?
No, I've just I've got another thing I've got to do. Yeah,

and like, oh mm hmm, can I I've been working on them.
Can I flag a waitress? Any what flag a waitress? So this is
like a takeout place? They probably you probably just put your order in and
bring it to your table. Okay, there's there's like a minimal number of
tables around here. It's you know, there's people like pretty close. Okay,
that's fine. I just have my seat with my back to the wall
a view of the door. Remy, I don't think. I don't think
that it's gonna help us. I don't matter. I mean we, I
mean, she seems pretty pissed about not having her book. I know it
seems pretty fun. She wants, I mean, primus why it wasn't a
nice place to take it. But I mean it's I gotta figure out what's
going on, Remy. Yeah, this is what detective is all about.
But she's hiding something, for sure. You're definitely hiding something. Okay,
I didn't want to say the police man. Did you hear what SI said?
All these weird sorts of experiments? Now she wants us to go fucking
set up a lamb. I'm like, what the fuck she? I mean,
once in my life like look away, Remy, it takes one of
the menus and just like puts it up like this. But it's like,
you know, looking every once in a while, Anthony, Hey, I'm
over here. Hey, Hey, hey, Ada, thank you. Hey,
how's it going. It's a it's been a challenging week on top of
the table recording, but the screen is off. How about you? You're
you're right? Do you you seemed in a difficult spirits? We will ask
together. Did you hear what happened to the school? Look? I I
I don't. I don't profess to be I don't want to cast dispuessions anywhere,
aid I. I popped. I popped by the university to to try
and find you in the police. It was absolutely awful. I was the
first one to find them. I've never seen anyone like it. What was
it? The police said simply that they were they were looking for you,
and uh something it happened? I the police wanted to question me. I
I want a statement. I tried to tell them everything I could, but
it's just so bizarre. I've walked in it was blood everywhere, and then
in the lecture hall. Yes, yeah, but I mean did you say
no, no, no, I was I'd left already. I it was
the thing that they said. I mean, I saw you. You were
you were putting to the security guards or something, and I I was you
Anthony. Yeah, yes, of course. It was awful, absolutely awful.
The smell. I got it all my clothes. I needed to get
home. I was, yes, please, I can't. Sorry if I
scared you, well, to be honest, pretty much everything in this city
is scaring me. It's a crazy But tell me about you. Are you
okay? You are all upset. I've just had those days where you start
to question if you're either the insane one or the person going slightly crazy.
Hey, nobody's really crazy. Of course, I bought my neuroses to discuss
with. Hey, psychological researcher. I know, Hey, this is actually
a really good thing. I'm trained in it. Okay, tell me what's
on your mind. Just know right now that you're in a safe place and
you will be for the next five minutes, ten minutes, our day year.
Just know that you're safe here, okay, and you can remain in
this safe place for as long as you can. All right, how long
do you think you can feel safe? I appreciate the safe space, Ada,
I'm I'm not a student or a child. I don't need a safe
space. No, no, no, it's not what I mean. I
mean the anxiety that you're feeling. It's like a It's like a tiger in
the room, isn't it. It's like a tiger is in a room watching
you, and it's ready to pounce on you. But but that tiger isn't
here. Okay, it's not here. It is a burden I am currently
bearing. Yes, Well, together, you and me, we're going to
help you figure out how to begin to ignore that tiger. Okay, listen,
Hey, you're not alone. Okay, I'm here, doctor Copeland.
I'm aware of that. Okay, Hey, it's okay, it's okay.
I've had enough voices in my head telling me what I do and do not
need to do. I just simply need to know what is going on.
Puck to Copeland. And I saw you that day in the university, and
then you turn up at my apartment with those awful people. Something something unbelievable
happens, and and and you are the You are the common thread throughout this
and I just I just need to know if if you are involved in anything
that I need to be aware of, or you are dragging me into I
I I look at I'm, I'm I don't want to talk to anyone.
I I I covered for you with the authorities, and I hated every second
of it. I have where people with anxiety to see patterns and places where
there aren't patterns. You may have seen my name a couple of times and
begun to think that I'm some kind of mastermind or something, and I need
to dispel that right now. It's important that you trust me. I'm here
to help. Trust is based on truth, doctor Copeland. I am a
professor of history. My entire career is based upon looking at evidence and stories
and finding a common thread. I am not a great career I am not
attempting to draw conclusions from anything other than the evidence as it presents itself,
Doctor Copeland. I'm a man of knowledge and logic, and the logic let's
layout all the evidence laying on. I want to hear it, all of
the evidence, and then I'll talk about it. You appear outside the lecture
hall where something clearly dreadful has taken place. You are shaken, you are
scared. The security take great interest in you, more than they should.
I am simply able to leave campus. But you, they were looking for
you. I leave, I get home, You turn up at my apartment.
You you find me with your colleagues, your friends, whoever those people
were. And then everything becomes illusory, it becomes etherial, it becomes strange,
and stuff starts happening to me. Doctor Copeland. I sleep, I
wake. I try to find you at the university to get some answers.
The detectives tell me you are prime suspect number one. And I I covered
few and I and I left, and I've come here to find out the
truth of this, because whatever this is, I needed to stop and I
need to have no more to do with it. I just I just want
the truth. Ada. I am done asking for the one thing I need,
and I need you to give it to me and just just just be
I don't judge, I don't care. I just want to go back to
my class and to my house. I completely understand, Anthony, It's okay,
take a breath. We've both seen some incredible and disturbing things. I
was at the school because I worked there too. The police wanted to question
me because I found them. I was distraught and scared and covered in blood.
And if you were the same, you would want to go home too.
The police don't suspect me. If they did, I wouldn't be out
here in the open, right, wouldn't maybe in deep hiding somewhere. Wouldn't
you be there talking to the police if you're not a suspect, surely want
to go in and clear your name. Answer their questions. Why are they
mean for you? Obviously? Yes, yes, about a meeting with a
colleague is more pressing than clearing your name. It's not a colleague. The
person who saw was a private investigator. I have a long standing working relationship
with them. I've helped them out with profiling before. They've approached me several
times, and I was having a meeting with them. I am. I
wanted to introduce you that night, but there was some person there, some
confetti cannon really torquedoed the whole thing, and then the lights went out.
It was a nightmare, but I wanted you to feel safe. I brought
help and I'm sorry, Doc, I appreciate I am not I am not
an intimidating man. I am not a man of substance. But I am
not a fool. You bring a PI to my apartment, the apartment of
a history and mythology professor, to profile somebody in association with psychological work.
How please do enlighten me as to the nature of your research and how I
was going to illuminate you. You were there, You were there, and
you could have seen something? Right? Did you see something? You're back
to the incident of the university you're profil. I have seen nothing at the
university. I have seen what you saw at my apartment, and quite clearly
you are not giving me the truth. Aida everything draws to you. You
want them for something at the Are you profiling a suspect in what happened at
the university? Anthony? The world isn't some spiderweb of lies and subterfuge?
What did you see? Why are you so distraught right now? Tell me
how you feel. I feel like I am going mad. I I have
I have, I have barely slept, and when I have, it has
been it's been a nightmare like I haven't never had. I understand I have,
I have seen, I have seen things. I have read every story
of mythology, of the occult of of law, through through centuries of storytelling,
and I have not the images I have I have seen. They are
they are, they are a lot of I don't know what they are.
Describe them. It's best to just describe these fantasies so that we can put
them to rest. Get it up in the open. We're in public.
Fine, I I I woke on. Oh God, slam, I I
your room A sell outside outside was was the city I have never seen?
It is not. It is not a city I have even dreamed of or
conceived. I there was a creature, an enormous, enormous eyes grapeer sized
creature. I tried left. I tried to leave by just more creatures,
monsters, almost like like a medieval soldier made of glass. Right, And
I left the room. I moved across the corridor, and I woke in
bed. I have never dreamt something so real and so visceral, and so
so deeply unsettling. Have you ever heard of PTSD. I know that nobody
wants to think that it's possible for them to feel that way, But after
a traumatic event like the one at the school, it's common for people to
have ext straordinarily vivid dreams or to think that there's some bigger picture. The
anxiety can lead you to believe that somebody's after you, it's and and it's
going to be okay. It's not that it's all in your head. Don't
say it like that. Your brain invented it for a reason. It's trying
to reason. No, no, no, listen, listen, listen.
You feel that way because your brain wants to. It wants a reason for
it. It wants a reason for all that trauma you've been through so much.
And I reach into my jacket pocket and I take out the page I
photocopied from the book with the as school on it, and why are they
documented? That's probably a good place for us to end the session today.
Holy shit, hot, so intense that shootout, It was wild. That
was so good. Oh my god, that was so good, Like wow,
I have to change and shower so much. I was so terrified.
What an episode, Oh my god, episode, The whole episode has been
just like so good everybody city like. I think my favorite part was the
fact that Max is like, no, I'm not going to actually perfect because
how was that max is after Remy? But Quinn doesn't know that, right,
and like Max is one of the they know I would I wouldn't love
to like bring us all together. But it was like there's a situation where
there's this one thing that you can get that might make you feel safe in
this world, and somebody's just run up and gone, do you fancy a
next straight shift at the bar? I just couldn't master. Sorry, no,
no, don't apologize. I peebe is grateful because you want to kill
Renny so doesn't know that, but you know, well want is a strong
word. Yea. Rather wow, what a show, what a show?
Like well done, so scary, well done. Uh we need to go
around the room and do some shout outs to Wrapine. I love you,
I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm so glad that we just kind of let everything
go organic. It's like and it just it was so yeah, you know,
I'm just trying to pull a string here, pull a string there,
and just trying to gently nudge happy fight. Just fucking terrifying yeah, I'm
normally dead serious when I do this, like when starts emmoting, you know
you fucked up. That's yeah, I did something really good. I don't
know, he's wasting precious skin elasticity on the thing you just did. Yeah,
it was. It was a hell of an episode. Yeah, very
confrontational. So as Quinn being like, no, I'm not getting You're not
getting your fucking book, I'm like, yeah, she's gonna kill me.
The same way. I didn't even realize the one word answer to a phone
call was like an option, but my world just opened up. Yeah,
well you much. I could have I could have lost it, but it
was like, you know, the genuine reaction, like to the situation kind
of what I have for Quinn that they are, you know, pretty kind
of can be very oh god real fast, but after a moment they can
recollect and then go, Okay, this is what I'm gonna do. But
yeah, that's terrifying hearing from me, especially because the number came up unknown,
right, it didn't come up as ata. Yeah. Fuck, not
expecting that at all. Mm hmm, okay that was I didn't even think
of that, Like I forget those options exist anymore. Like they just you
know, I forget. Yeah, And when you said that, I was
like, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Good choice.
You guys act like you've never tried to star sixty nine phone number before.
I mean, hey, I'm waiting for Ja. I'm waiting for Jay.
You guys, look, I'm a i'm a I'm a no, I'm
a I'm a very sophisticated man. I would never make such a crude surprise.
You haven't made apart noise in that sentence. Nothing but a hell of
a show. Side of J talks bullshit. That was good. That was
like a therapy set, like a hell of an episode. I'm curious how
long I was able to just be silent. I think it was what I
was saying. It was a good like forty minutes or something crazy. That
was amazing. Well done everybody, if you if you missed it, if
you didn't notice. At the at the bottom of the page here on our
channel, we have a link to help with Black Lives Matter. You can
sign petitions, you can text, you can donate, you can read things,

out there, and I know that I'm ignorant about a lot of things,
and you know, uh take the opportunity to to educate yourself and learn.
No matter what, Let's go around the room. Let's do our shout outs
and uh questions. Yeah, so interestingly enough, I'm gonna skip the questions
