00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,639
Speaker 1: H m.

2
00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:09,679
Speaker 2: Oh, Papa, I can't wait for you to wake up.

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,839
Speaker 3: We're going to play so many fun games together.

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:18,199
Speaker 2: Who's the.

5
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 4: Shore yourself?

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 5: Or are you here to play too?

7
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: What the hell?

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:26,559
Speaker 1: Lady?

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,839
Speaker 3: Who the fuck are you?

10
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:36,359
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, meet, I'm here to talk to

11
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:41,920
the one in charge, Queen Lilith. I am truly honored,

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,000
but I don't understand what vexes you, mighty dark mother,

13
00:00:48,719 --> 00:01:01,320
honored honort, you should be grateful if generation you get

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,040
a free past to create as much chaos as you please,

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,680
using a little loophole to be reborn into a new

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,359
meat sack.

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,359
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, yes, my Queen, that is the way of it.

18
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:21,519
Speaker 4: We seven Sins balanced the virtues and ensure the scales

19
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,280
never tilled one way or the other. Hmmm, such a

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:36,760
wonderful system, so balanced, so fair. I hate it. It's

21
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:39,760
time for a change. M h.

22
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 7: M hm.

23
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: M hm.

24
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:51,799
Speaker 5: Hm.

25
00:01:53,959 --> 00:02:02,159
Speaker 4: You honor your queen with this meal. Thank you so much.

26
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.

27
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: What do we do with a drunken sailor? What do

28
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840
we do with a drunken sailor?

29
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 9: Oh?

30
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:30,759
Speaker 4: My, oh, you poor thing. I wish I could help

31
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,560
one you deserve. You deserve so much better.

32
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:39,879
Speaker 6: Yes, what I can do.

33
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: Seek out this man. You love me whold he helps

34
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,080
every after all, he's such a good.

35
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: He's always been such a good boy.

Speaker 7: WAVM The Wave ninety eight point one.

46
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: Hi, you might not remember, but I'm afraid Valmont, Yes

47
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,879
that Valmont. I just wanted to be a normal guy.

48
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:40,040
But when you're orphaned as a child, raised by a

49
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,600
billionaire uncle, are as tall as shack freshman year and

50
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:52,199
can't die, that's anything. But the last part is relatively new. Well,

51
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:57,519
everything started last year when I took a When I

52
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,800
took what I thought was a simple case to find

53
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:12,959
dumb lost dog, it led to meeting a few federal agents,

54
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,199
which then caused me to get killed by some monster

55
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:31,480
and meet the doc. See what I didn't know was

56
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:55,480
some assholes. We're trying to cause problems for a group

57
00:05:55,519 --> 00:06:00,519
of vampires living under the city. Oh yeah, if you

58
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:06,079
didn't know already, vampires are real. Honestly, I probably wouldn't

59
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:14,800
have figured that out if it wasn't for my pal Leslie.

60
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,319
He asked me to help one of these vampires to

61
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,079
solve the whole thing. That's how I met Kira, and boy,

62
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:40,480
we hated each other at first, but you know, that's

63
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:45,079
how all good partners start, right, So what did we do?

64
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Only team up with some werewolves and a wear cat,

65
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,560
But they'd kidnapped Kira, so I had no choice but

66
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:23,720
to take the fight straight to them. Turned out the

67
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:31,839
assholes had a backup plan and sleever. Well see, I

68
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:34,920
took offense to that, so Cain and I had a

69
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:40,160
little showdown. It was going my way until that dick

70
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,759
of a senator stabbed me in the fucking back.

71
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: So I died.

72
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: And woke up in some weird interrogation room. There I

73
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:05,000
found out my friend since childhood, my my ex girlfriend,

74
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:22,439
was in fact Lucifer, my wacky neighbor Gabriel. Yes, that Gabriel.

75
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:23,519
Speaker 10: Oh.

76
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:34,759
Speaker 2: Sh turns out my parents weren't human, and neither am I.

77
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,200
They gave up everything for me. No one really knows

78
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,639
who they were, but their gift to me is something

79
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,559
only a divine being could bestow. I don't stay dead, ever,

80
00:08:55,759 --> 00:09:01,679
so I got to have round two with Cain and

81
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:08,279
top that stuck up fanged pricks some manners showed him

82
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,440
just how mortlly he was.

83
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:16,759
Speaker 10: Wow.

84
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,799
Speaker 2: Oh. A few days later I finally found that damn talk.

85
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,320
That was a year ago. Now A lot has happened since.

86
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,120
My love life had some twists, like trying things with Kitty.

87
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: I kiss we just worked better as friends.

88
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:41,399
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, I guess you're right. I'm sorry, We're just

89
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,159
two different as people. Kind of sucks.

90
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,279
Speaker 3: Well, we can still, you know tonight, right?

91
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,159
Speaker 2: Oh hell we can. We can go start that right now.

92
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:05,200
But that was really for the best. I reconnected with

93
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:10,159
Sarah not long after. I mean, we still argue, but

94
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600
it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.

95
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 8: You know.

96
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,039
Speaker 2: I swear sometimes I think I could kill you, but

97
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,080
you just come right back. So I guess my life

98
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,879
is as normal as it's ever going to get. My

99
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:27,480
girlfriend's a cop. My best friends are angels and were wolves,

100
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,720
and I work for a mobster from time to time.

101
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: Excuse me? Are you mister vaumat? The scary lady said,

102
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,919
you can help me. I don't know where I am.

103
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 7: And the only.

104
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: Yep, everything is perfectly.

105
00:10:49,399 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 11: Normal, folks, if you're out traveling the roads today.

106
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,159
Speaker 3: Rose Kara, we have to do something. Oh godness, we.

107
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,279
Speaker 10: Have to help her, Kitty, what do you mean, help who?

108
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: You don't understand he's going to kill her. Maybe he

109
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:28,960
already has.

110
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, kitty, honey, slow down what you're talking about?

111
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 3: Just here. Look.

112
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,919
Speaker 1: Authorities believe that the body is that of a student

113
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,960
from our own Ravens River Intermediate School who went missing

114
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,360
earlier this week. However, due to the injuries inflicted, they

115
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,039
have not been able to confirm the identity. The FBI,

116
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,320
who is working with the Black Raven Police Department, says

117
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,320
they will have a statement on the matter shortly.

118
00:11:53,879 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, that poor girl or a daddy part

119
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:01,639
of the family.

120
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: Nah, that ain't it.

121
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 10: Humans can be truly monstrous to do such things to

122
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:10,480
a child.

123
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,039
Speaker 3: No, less, I don't think it was a human. In

124
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,120
my dream, I saw a monster eating a child right

125
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,519
where they said they found her.

126
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 10: You had a dream. I'm not sure. I follow.

127
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:26,879
Speaker 4: Kitty has the ability to dream all but she can't

128
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:30,360
really control it. Sometimes she dreams herself place and sees

129
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,759
things through them. But yeah, we should probably look into this.

130
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:41,519
Speaker 10: Ah, I see, walking in dreams can be difficult to discern,

131
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:48,399
and it's very easy to misinterpret them. We cannot be

132
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,679
too careful. This monster could just be a man simply

133
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:55,519
doing monstrous things.

134
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: What difference does it make we have to do something.

135
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,879
Speaker 10: Don't, don't worry. I completely agree. The question is what.

136
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,639
I'll reach out to Agent Black and call Sarah to

137
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,279
see if she knows anything. Kitty, you get Caleb and Lisa.

138
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:42,120
We should see Afric two. If anyone can help, it's him.

139
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 8: No, I definitely felt it too. Rath's puppet's been killed

140
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:53,279
and he didn't finish his work. It won't matter. That

141
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,879
was one of his most disgusting choices anyway, I mean,

142
00:13:55,919 --> 00:14:02,080
slaughtering children. It's just so pathetic. It's not surprising. But yes,

143
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,840
he's gone, just like let me. But it matters not.

144
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,879
We five are more than enough to keep things in line. No, look,

145
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,399
I have to go my own vessel has a meeting

146
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:18,399
with its big as investor and this, this here will

147
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:30,759
create so much suffer. Sorry about being behind, Owen, I

148
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,039
hope you weren't waiting too long.

149
00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 9: No, not at all, Bobby. Are we all said on

150
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,480
this property? How the tests come back?

151
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,399
Speaker 8: Well, it seems we passed all the EPA tests and

152
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,120
you know, I'm sure we can buy our way around

153
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:43,960
local zoning.

154
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:47,799
Speaker 9: Nothing illegal, right, I'm trying to prove something. I want

155
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:48,399
to do it right.

156
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:51,759
Speaker 8: Don't worry. Our lawyers will ensure everything is by the books,

157
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:54,639
you know that, or we'll just get the books changed.

158
00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:57,000
After all, that is what leagueless for.

159
00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 10: Perfect That's what I like to hear.

160
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 9: How are we looking on demolition?

161
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: No?

162
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:07,399
Speaker 8: Excellent, really, and after all somebody already started it for us.

163
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 10: So what happened here?

164
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,399
Speaker 9: Again, I'm a little fuzzy on the details.

165
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 8: Oh you know, I think they had some sort of

166
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,039
animal that broke loose and smashed up one of the labs.

167
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,919
Apparently some guards got injured and it turned out that

168
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:21,720
one of their scientists was some you know, terrorists.

169
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 9: A terrorist can't be serious.

170
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,519
Speaker 8: Well, he was killed during whatever happened here. The rumor

171
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,360
is he worked for the guy who killed that senator

172
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:31,919
last year.

173
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,559
Speaker 9: The value probably plummeted after all that. We might be

174
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:38,639
able to buy the whole property. That's great news.

175
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 8: I told Joen this here is the perfect spot for

176
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,600
your development. We put town homes over there, the office

177
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:47,399
of family center here, at a pool right there, and

178
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,320
still have enough space for at least seventy five more homes.

179
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,279
He should be able to tie into the existing infrastructure

180
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:55,399
and save a lot there too.

181
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 9: Great idea. Let's look into it and plan around that.

182
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,799
What do we meet with the contractor?

183
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,639
Speaker 8: We have a meeting schedule tomorrow at his office. Think

184
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:06,440
two o'clock.

185
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 9: Sounds like everything's in good hands. Oh maybe I'll finally

186
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,559
get some free time to catch up with the family.

187
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: Here you go, kiddo. You can have some milk and

188
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,679
cookies while we wait for my friend. She'll be here

189
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,440
soon to help us.

190
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not really hungry, just tired.

191
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure we can get you someplace safe to

192
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,360
sleep soon. How does that sound good?

193
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:00,759
Speaker 3: Gonna help me?

194
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,839
Speaker 2: Of course? I just need you to answer some questions

195
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:10,079
for me, Okay, easy stuff like can you tell me

196
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,480

197
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 3: My name is Lily, Lily Rose.

198
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: Lily Huh, that's a pretty name. My cousin's name is Lily.

199
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,160
Do you know how you got here?

200
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,599
Speaker 3: I don't know. The scary lady came. She woke me

201
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,119
up and showed me to you.

202
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,559
Speaker 2: The scary lady. Who is she?

203
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,599
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think she hurt.

204
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,839
Speaker 10: The bad name Lily.

205

Speaker 2: This is my friend, Sarah. She's a police officer and

206
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,160
she's gonna help you get taken care of.

207
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,799
Speaker 3: I don't think she can help me.

208
00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: Sure she can. She's the best, right, Sarah, Nabe, Who
