Speaker 2: Doctor Johnson, you're the latest test results from subject thirteen.
Speaker 3: Thank you, mindy? Can you got that read out of
the serum twenty six test?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 3: You are, doctor fascinating? This is unprecedentedy, mindy, dere look
at this and tell me what you see.
Speaker 2: Well, everything looks perfectly normal, sir. What am I looking for?
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I see. The blood was from subject
thirteen and was introduced to a minute sample of the serum.
Speaker 2: Doctor Johnson, does this mean we've found a way to
cure the infected?
Speaker 3: That is exactly what this means. But the fact that
it works raises many more questions. I need to get more.
Speaker 2: Blood, yes, sir, I'll go grab some how many pecks?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Many? Not for my medical supply needs to come from
afroc valmont.
Speaker 4: Ezekiel. Though he may be power hungry, Perhaps mister Kane
is right. It's impossible for your daughter and human alone
to conk of these creatures.
Speaker 6: I'm afraid that's where the evidence says.
Speaker 4: Otherwise, Doctor, I beg your pardon what evidence means the.
Speaker 7: One I gave an extra head hole too? Am I right?
Speaker 5: Valmont?
Speaker 6: No, Carrie, he's right. After we found you at the
tunnel entrance, my team backtracked you and found some remains.
Speaker 4: That's not possible they found remains.
Speaker 6: It's definitely possible. We were able to get some samples,
but it was like the remains were rapidly dissolving it
for the creature died.
Speaker 7: What about the little one's arm, Kira cut off?
Speaker 6: We didn't find an arm yet. It's possible that deteriorated faster,
or we may have just missed it in the initial sweep.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, did you say you cut off the little
one's arm?
Speaker 5: Yes, it's the last thing I remember before a frig.
Speaker 7: Um what got I killed the ugly one and saved her.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what happened. I was knocked unconscious and afrig
carried me out.
Speaker 6: We tried to track the second creature, but it got
to jump onto o My guys. They didn't make it out.
Perhaps it is because they possessed unnatural speed. It seems
a miracle that my daughter and her guide survived.
Speaker 7: Huh. I didn't think they moved that fast. But maybe
I wasn't paying that much attention.
Speaker 4: This is all highly unlikely. Are you sure it was
one of the creatures they killed?
Speaker 6: Agent Black absolutely had blown wine open when they found it,
but you should be able to confirm it with the
samples we sent to your lab.
Speaker 4: You sent them to my lab. Excellent. I'll go right
now and start running tests.
Speaker 5: Father, I wish to enlist the aid of another a
tracker who should give us an advantage in this search.
Speaker 6: Miss Nightwood, with all due respect, bringing in another civilian
is out of the question.
Speaker 5: I agree, which is why I need my father's permission
to ask someone who is not a civilian.
Speaker 7: Heire, You can't be serious.
Speaker 6: Going to them would be admitting the Council's weakness.
Speaker 7: Am I the only one who has no clue who
you're talking about?
Speaker 6: You get used to it.
Speaker 4: Are you absolutely sure of this? Doctor Simmons?
Speaker 8: Five?
Speaker 4: Prepare subject three and I will inform mister Kane.
Speaker 8: Inform me of what, Senator.
Speaker 4: Oh my, mister Kane, I hadn't realized you had arrived.
I was just going to inform you of a minor development.
Speaker 8: I am not very patient. What do you have to
inform me of?
Speaker 4: Well, sir, it would seem the Subject one was eliminated.
Speaker 8: How could this have happened?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Doctor Simons said that it was shot
in the head by a man named Frank Valmont f More.
Speaker 8: Of course, it would be that useless pie of filth.
How did he do this?
Speaker 4: Tell me? I honestly can't rightly say, sir, but I'm
sure it was just a fluke incident.
Speaker 8: A fluke incident. A fluke you say this man was
able to hit me, knock me to the floor, and
get away with it. And now you're telling me that
a fluke allowed him to kill one of your creatures.
Speaker 4: Well, Subject one was not the hardiest of the bunch.
In fact, we worried it could be killed by a
flame of explosives.
Speaker 8: Well did the pathetic human use those? I didn't think so.
I have given Rerses, money, even my own damn blood,
to ensure this plan was flawless. And now you're telling
me that the Little Princess's pet monkey has killed one
of our creations. Why didn't we plan for this? Don't
bother with excuses. I want results. I want to drink.
I want to savor the flavor of a young virgin
fresh from the vein. But I can't do that until
the treaty is changed, and I can't change the treaty
as long as Knightwood is in charge. It was your
job to make him looking competent, just as I did.
Your political opponents, tell me, what do you plan to do.
Speaker 4: We plan to keep Subject two on mission for now
and prepare Subject three for release. It should take it
most forty eight hours to have him thought and woken.
Speaker 8: Subject three is a fine specimen. With him on the board,
the Council will be forced to utilize my goal troops
to stop him. Fine, but have your man clear out
the downtown lab. Once they finish, we'll move Subject two
back to the lab and release Subject three right in
the heart of the city. The chaos will be public,
and there will be no question as to how unfit
Nightwood is.
Speaker 4: That's a brilliant idea, a public display of a monster
like that, and perhaps the Committee will decide that in
relations with the Shadow Council and join with you instead.
Speaker 8: Yes, and once I have control of this city and
we give you control of this country, all that we
seek shall be ours.
Speaker 6: You're seriously considering going to the Nicholson Bar to talk
to Daniel Nicholson.
Speaker 5: No, it's a Friday. He'll be at the wolves Den Bar.
Speaker 7: Hey, my buddy Hawkins works at that bar. Kind of
a rough place filled with bikers and ex marines. You
sure you want to go there tonight.
Speaker 5: We don't have time to waste a frig Every second
we don't find where these things nest is more time
for them to kill.
Speaker 3: Thank you, I have good news. Oh wonderful all you
are here. That will make things so much easier.
Speaker 7: Hey, Doc, fancy seeing you here?
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Vallman, and I am happy to see you
as well. I need to ask something of you. But first,
Menda Darling, please bring subject thirteen in here.
Speaker 2: He is doctor. The sedative still hasn't fully worn off,
but his finals are perfectly normal.
Speaker 7: No nonsense.
Speaker 6: What's the meaning of this? He is impainted t just
no telling what he could do.
Speaker 3: No, sir, he was invicted, but now he is completely
carried and healed in the process.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what is the meaning of taking a
patient out of containment? This is absolutely unacceptable. I'll see
you charged for this.
Speaker 6: It would appear he has brought to us a cured patient, so.
Speaker 9: They'll be charge him was doing his job.
Speaker 4: Doctor Simmons, Sir cured, how is that possible? I'm nowhere
close to a cure, and neither were you. This is unbelievable.
This man is completely human and his wounds seemed healed.
How did you manage this?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: I must say someone to want to a complete accident.
All my notes I've been sent to your laboratory. I'm
sure slay More Pharmaceutical is far better equipped and mass
produce the serum. In the meantime, I have two doses
to left in my facility, and to say if I
can use the synthesize more.
Speaker 4: Well, this is definitely a great development. I'll head over
to slagh More right away and get to work on that.
Speaker 7: Slay More. Why does that sound familiar?
Speaker 4: You probably heard the recent announcement on the news. We've
developed a treatment for cancer that doesn't use radiation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 5: Father. With this cure, all we need is to eliminate
the nest. Please let me talk to Daniel very well.
Speaker 6: Perhaps he will see you as his childhood friend and
not as an adversary as so many of his kind
to do.
Speaker 5: Come on, efrig we can grab you a philly on
the way.
Speaker 7: How do you know I like Phillies?
Speaker 5: Oh lucky guess you know?
Speaker 9: Holy shit?
Speaker 4: Full my heart?
Speaker 7: Now you do a devil door Hawkins? How you ben? Brother?
How's that new leg working out for you?
Speaker 9: Good enough? I could still beat you in a foot race?
Speaker 7: Who's the lady?
Speaker 5: I am here to see Daniel. It is a matter
of utmost importance.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I guess you wouldn't be here if you wasn't God. Man,
what are you doing with her?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 9: Sorry? Miss?
Speaker 7: What are you doing with her?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 7: Just doing my job, man, protection and tour guide.
Speaker 9: Dude, you don't understand. She's not like normal people. And
I get it you're badass and all, but man, she's dangerous.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I know. I'm starting to think that everyone knew
but me, And honestly, it's really getting on my nerves.
Speaker 9: Believe me, brother, It's not something everybody knows, but it's
definitely something no one ever talks about. You guys, head
on end. I'll get Caleb, believe you to the back.
Speaker 7: Thanks, man, it's good to see you. Sorry, I don't visit.
Speaker 9: More, No not, but I know what you mean.
Speaker 8: Man, this way, please, no, just missus Knightwood. You can
wait by the bar.
Speaker 3: This place is gone now. Fucking fang bangers are coming in.
Speaker 7: Why you man cuse I don't see nothing? Oh, use
your nose more. That big guy can't be with a vampire.
Speaker 3: Fucking stuck up asses, every single one of them. I
don't understand why Daniel he allows them in.
