Speaker 5: I'm not a ghost?
Speaker 3: Stopping so mean?
Speaker 1: Whoa?
Speaker 6: What the fuck?
Speaker 4: Language? She's just a child.
Speaker 7: Guys, please don't call Lily the G word. It upsets her.
Speaker 5: That's because she's not a ghost, are you, Lily? Someone
sent you here? Uh uh huh.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she said. The scary lady got rid of the
bad men and sent her here.
Speaker 5: The scary lady said, you would help me?
Speaker 7: Yes, of course I will, Lily. What do you need
me to do?
Speaker 5: You have to come find me, find where I am?
Speaker 7: Okay, is there anything you can tell me about where
you are or how you got there?
Speaker 5: It's dark and and cold and dirty. It smells funny.
I'm really tired.
Speaker 7: I understand, kiddo. As soon as I get to you,
we'll get you to a comfy bed. Okay, yay, I
knew you would help me, Lily. Lily, where did you go?
Where did she go?
Speaker 8: Ah?
Speaker 5: Frank, calm down. She's probably just too tired to keep
dream walking. Right now, she'll be back. You just have
to be ready. What it's kind of like astral projection.
Someone set her conscious mind specifically to you.
Speaker 6: Hang on. If it was just a freak, how come
you and Kara could see her?
Speaker 4: Kiddy is a dream walker? If I'm over three hundred, Sarah,
I see a lot other people don't.
Speaker 7: Okay, how do we find her? How do we find
this girl?
Speaker 6: Tell me what she looks like and I can check
missing persons. Maybe there's a little girl that's been reported
missing recently.
Speaker 9: Kitty Hun Was that the child when we dreamed?
Speaker 7: Nah?
Speaker 5: She kind of looked like her, but she definitely wasn't
the same one.
Speaker 7: What dream.
Speaker 10: There was this.
Speaker 5: Horrible monster, but he was also a man. He was
torturing this poor child, doing terrible things to her before
he killed her. I saw him leave what was left
of her body on a playground. Then as soon as
I woke up, I saw it on the news right there.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that's the case. The feds are onto.
So far, six children have been his victims across two cities.
They suspected he might be headed here next, and that
was before they found his seventh just this morning.
Speaker 7: What does that have.
Speaker 4: To do with Lily must be his next victim.
Speaker 3: And he's already got her.
Speaker 11: That's the latest from trip Hammer and Tighter. You're inside
another long block of new rock here at what was
seven point nine the Edge where we hunliked that other
station the lane. Continue the music non stop. Here's the
latest from Alexandra's crisis.
Speaker 7: It's on the edge.
Speaker 12: Oh, for fuck's sake, Miranda, just say it already.
Speaker 8: You're not even gonna say hello, offer a professional greeting.
Speaker 12: Hello, Miranda, It's great to see you again.
Speaker 3: Welcome to Black Raven. I want to help with reports.
Speaker 8: Is the paperwork here really that bad?
Speaker 12: In the past year, I've covered up a senator's death,
hired a civilian consultant overseeing the change of leadership if
in the Nightwood House, and now the werewolves are joining
the Council treaty. Add to that the normal case work,
and yes, it is that bad.
Speaker 8: You forgot to mention the dead demon.
Speaker 12: That's why you're here, though demons are your speciality.
Speaker 8: I told you Vatican training was the way to go,
that you wanted to go to Iceland.
Speaker 12: Yeah, well I can deal with dragons. Have you got
anything for that?
Speaker 8: Not for that?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 8: But I don't have to worry about being possessed.
Speaker 3: Neither do I.
Speaker 8: That's because no demon would want inside that head.
Speaker 12: Oh, like you have room to talk? How many people
did you sleep with since you landed here, oh two
hours ago?
Speaker 8: I only had one sexual encounter this morning. Thank you.
Speaker 12: That wasn't what I asked.
Speaker 8: Fine, four, there's two couples, I bet on the flight.
Speaker 12: On the flat are you at the same time? How
do you get any work done running around like that?
Speaker 8: Still the same way you pull off being a husband
and father after everything you did with.
Speaker 3: The fee, I told you Iceland was better.
Speaker 8: I'm not hugging you first.
Speaker 12: Didn't say I wanted you to.
Speaker 7: I mean it.
Speaker 3: Understood.

Speaker 14: Miss Callahan, or should I say Senator Callahan after our
recent special election. Congratulations? By the way, whatever would bring
you to my little home away from home?
Speaker 15: Why this building, mister Simon, is his historic pirate strength Brum?
Probably right wall, your sitting man met down here to
plan the revolution that forged our nation when South Carolina
seceded from the Union. It was discussed here in the
nineteen twenties.
Speaker 16: Moonshine moved in and out.
Speaker 9: Of this place.
Speaker 15: In the nineteen sixties, people spoke on that very stage about.
Speaker 16: Fighting for equality, and now it belongs to a man
like you.
Speaker 14: I am well aware of my club's his historic headed
But just what do you mean by a man like me?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 15: Quite the opposite, mister. I'm so sorry, sugar, I.
Speaker 17: Didn't ask your name. Please forgive me. It's Frank of
course it is.
Speaker 15: It's a fine name, Frank. I mean absolutely no disrespect
to mister Simon. Mister Simon, you are the vision of
what an American can do. You are a leader of man.
You are exactly the type of man I need to
show this country how great.
Speaker 18: We can be.
Speaker 14: I'm sorry, Senator, I'm afraid I don't follow you.
Speaker 16: Please call me Heather, and if you don't mind, may
I call you Leslie? Oh wonderful now, Leslie, you have
literally come from nothing, come a criminal, and come out
reformed to build yourself up into a successful businessman and
a pillar of the community, oh while being harassed and
judged for your past. Now, I'm going to be throwing
a little celebration before I head to.
Speaker 19: Washington, DC, and I want that party to make a statement.
I want that party to be right here, and I
want you standing ripe beside me, a proud beacon of
what a true American can accomplish.
Speaker 2: Senator out Heather.
Speaker 14: Please, Heather, am I to understand you want me to
allow you to throw your little swe already here, and
in return you will validate my existence.
Speaker 18: I absolutely not no, no, no, no, no, I.
Speaker 15: Am asking you to allow me to rep out.
Speaker 17: Your facility, cover your staff's wages, your time to host
a party to celebrate my election, and to be recognized
as the proud.
Speaker 18: Wonderful American that you are, Sir, I show you, Leslie,
every expense will be covered.
Speaker 14: Well, heathern it appears Mick Hasseer is sousconser. Please take
a seat. Let's say levantine roulette.
Speaker 5: So we just take Hawkins down to where they found
the body. He can smell the killer and we can
track him down from there.
Speaker 6: It's a federal crime scene. We can't just walk into it.
The purpose cross state lines, and the Feds are stonewalling
this one.
Speaker 7: Okay, we can't get in, but a dog could write
Hawkins could just go as one. He doesn't look like
a normal dog when he changes, does he?
Speaker 3: Nope, he is a giant, three legged white wolf. Definitely
gonna stand out.
Speaker 4: Perhaps we can reach out to a federal agency who
would be more accepting of our involvement.
Speaker 7: Agent Black. That's not a bad idea. But will they
go up against the FBI over jurisdiction for a kid?
Speaker 6: What kind of question is that? Of course they will?
Speaker 13: No, He's right, they might want to, but their rules
are very strict. They probably can't do anything without serious consequences.
Speaker 5: Well, we have to do something. That girl's laughs in danger.
Speaker 7: We're going to do something. She's probably already reported missing.
We just have to identify her.
Speaker 6: This is Lieutenant Klein Thompson. What is going on? Wait?
There was a body that was what.
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 6: I'll be right there. I'm bringing a friend. We need
to check missing person's files too. No, it has nothing
to do with this one. Look, I'll explain when I
get there. Okay, you want him to get a kiss
from you so bad? You come give him one. I've
got a body on the north side, and of course
it's weird which one of you two is coming with me?
Speaker 4: I can, but why?
Speaker 6: Because you've seen the little girl I haven't. And when
we search the files, you'll need to find her.
Speaker 7: I'll go check my usual channels. Maybe somebody knows something
that can help.
Speaker 6: Good idea, babe, tell chuckles. I said I have a
nice pair of bracelets for him.
