Paul Flowers.
Speaker 2: Exactly what you said.
Speaker 3: That's enough, soone's coming.
Speaker 4: Black Raven police. Everybody freeze? Oh my god? Why are
there naked people?
Speaker 3: Okay, this is officially the weirdest fucking case I've ever
been on.
Speaker 5: I think I'm just gonna back out here.
Speaker 6: I'm a married man.
Speaker 3: I'm a married man.
Speaker 7: Is he okay?
Speaker 8: Frank?
Speaker 7: Oh, thank heavens, you're all right. I never would have
thought someone would try to kill you.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, really, Samantha, you're playing it a bit over dramatic,
don't you think wa.
Speaker 9: Wait a minute, someone is trying to kill me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hunh and it's all my fault. Senator Kinzie's
divorce must be dirtier than I thought.
Speaker 2: You're worried about a senator's divorce. We just got attacked
by that thing the officer.
Speaker 9: You think maybe you could throw us that bag over there,
you know that way?
Speaker 3: They're not standing around completely naked.
Speaker 9: Oh no, rush here.
Speaker 3: I enjoy being free of clothes, Lisa.
Speaker 1: I mean, usually i'd agree, with her.
Speaker 10: This might be called in here.
Speaker 11: Who the hell are you people, Daniel Michelson and is
you didn have unusual tactics, but they are effective.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 11: I want everything bag Tag to take it to the lab.
I want to know what the psychopath was doing here.
If it looks like some kind of body fluid, I
wanted analyze the pronto. How the hell did you get
here first, Lieutenant?
Speaker 4: I had inside information?
Speaker 7: Yes, Now what do you need to arrest the senator
and that bastard for trying to kill a freak? Oh? Hell,
consequences be damn.
Speaker 11: And just who are you?
Speaker 4: She's a lawyer who used to work for Senator Kinzie.
Now she's representing his wife in their divorce, which, by
the way, is unrelated.
Speaker 7: Unrelated? What else when a doctor at Slaymoor Pharmaceutical want
to kill the detective I hired.
Speaker 11: That's confidential, ma'am, but there's no reason to believe the
senator is involved. Men, please escort this lady home safely. Ma'am,
your country thanks you for your service.
Speaker 7: Wait, i'd demand to know what's going on here. You
said a hit man was trying to kill him and
he was hired by doctor Simmons.
Speaker 9: Yeah, can we get back to that please? Who was
hired to kill me? And why?
Speaker 2: Oh? Come on, detective, detect Doctor Simmons was behind all this.
Speaker 11: Yes, that's what we've come to believe, given the evidence,
there's something I need you all to see.
Speaker 9: That son of a fix I'm gonna kick his ass,
not if.
Speaker 2: I get to him first.
Speaker 11: Doctor Johnson sent this to us before we got here.
He told me he set up cameras and dummy samples
and make sure Simmons knew he was leaving.
Speaker 7: Well, someone please tell me what's going on here.
Speaker 5: Look, this guy Simmons was gonna do something really bad.
It's the case I told you about. It's some terrorist
level shit, and you helped stop him.
Speaker 9: Sam.
Speaker 5: You're a hero, but you really should let these guys
handle it, at least for now. I'll definitely find every
bit of dirt on Kinzie for you and we'll do
lunch as friends.
Speaker 9: I've been too rough on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in more leays than one.
Speaker 2: Maybe you should take notes you left him, Kira not
now fine, I'm stepping outside. I don't understand how you
handle the ghosts of girlfriends past.
Speaker 4: What was that all about?
Speaker 6: Trust me? You don't want to know. I was wipe
that from my memory.
Speaker 5: Thanks Daniel, that was helpful. She's complicated, but she'll be fine.
It's this weird psychic thing she has. That's why they
sent her.
Speaker 7: You're working with a psackic Tira.
Speaker 9: She's gone, Danny. Why the funk weren't your coones keeping
an eye on her?
Speaker 11: Calm down, mister Valmont. I don't want to use this again, Frank,
it's not his fault.
Speaker 3: Besides, look, they left.
Speaker 9: A note, Valmont. If you want her alive, come get her.
There's a picture of some building.
Speaker 7: Oh that's one of the new slam Off pharmaceutical laboratories.
Senator Kinzie happ Bill, it's not the town. I think
the address is in the file I gave you.
Speaker 4: Well, let's go then, we're not going anywhere. They disabled
my car and your team's SUVs. I'll call for backup.
Speaker 9: Well doubt they'll got your truck.
Speaker 10: Here's a few bucks from here.
Speaker 3: Case should be hit anytime.
Speaker 2: Now, come on, let's go.
Speaker 5: Great, we'll hit my place and get the file. Sarah,
I'll text you the address.
Speaker 9: Black.
Speaker 5: You make sure these three don't get hurt or we'll
definitely have words dude, you realize this is like classic
bad guy trap situation type thing.
Speaker 7: Going on here.
Speaker 9: Yep, sounds like a fun time to me.
Speaker 4: Frek, you can't just go charging in there.
Speaker 9: Sorry, can't hear you. Let's be in here. Infect You know.
Speaker 7: He's not some fragile little egg that's going to break Sarah.
You should trust him a little, but he is.
Speaker 4: You didn't see what's arriving that blasted to him. He's
already broken.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, he is definitely broken.
Speaker 2: But he's also a lot stronger than you think.
Speaker 11: Well, we don't seem to have much choice since he
ran off. Lieutenant, make the call, and when we get
an address, I'll mobilize a task force. We will not
let that man run into a trap alone.
Speaker 2: Release me this instant. I will see you pay Ah,
get this thing off my head. I demand to be released.
Speaker 8: Now, Miss night One. I don't think you're in the
position to demand anything.
Speaker 2: Senator Kenzie, what is the meaning of this? Do you
realize this is a violation of the treaty?
Speaker 12: Oh now, Kira, it's only a violation if it's reported
and I can promise your father. Suitancy thinks my way.
Speaker 2: Can you vile monster? What are you doing. The council
will see you sunned for this.
Speaker 12: No, no, no, the council will see what I want
them to see. Doctor Simmons is going to play the villain,
and you, my dear, will play two roles.
Speaker 2: I'll never cooperate with you, Caine, and you can't make
me or my father.
Speaker 12: Well, you're half right. That pesky bond you have for
your little human pet keeps you from being my puppet.
So first you'll play the bait to lead him to
his death. Once he's dead and the bond broken, we
will go someplace private where I will bleed you near
to death, on the verge of starvation. You will beg
for my blood, and then you will be to.
Speaker 2: Meet that'll never happen. I'll die first.
Speaker 12: You impudent shrewd.
Speaker 3: You assume I'd let you die.
Speaker 12: Once I have you bound to me, your father will
have no choice but to hand me this city and
its hidden power.
Speaker 2: You're absolutely insane. There's no hidden power in Black Raven,
and my father would never turn his people to live
under your rule.
Speaker 12: Oh foolish child. You doubt how strong a father's love
truly is, or how much he would hide from you
to protect you, for that is a power here. Soothsayers,
spirits from beyond, even demons have confirmed as much. And
the only way it could be hidden as well as
it is would be by your father's orders.
Speaker 2: You're wrong, You're so wrong. And when a Frink fights you,
he's gonna curb stump your pompous, undead ass straight to hell.
Speaker 8: Oh my, she even sounds like him. This bond thing
is truly remarkable. You must let my people research you.
Can you imagine what it could do for a future president?
Speaker 12: All in good time, my dear senator, All in good time?
Speaker 10: Hmmm, yes, it's most unusual, My dear, Do you have
the results for that test? I asked you to run
the gas spectrometer test?
Speaker 12: Yes, sir, it just finished.
Speaker 10: Good good. Let me see here? Yes, yes, interesting? Oh my,
now that is unusual. What sir see here? This is
a non biological contaminant, probably sulfur.
Speaker 7: Yes, doctor, I assumed it was something on the sample.
I can attempt to identify it further.
Speaker 10: No, my dear, I think I want to dry something else.
In my case, there was a pair of gloves. Put
them on, and then open the Senate compartment and grab
me the silver flask with a cross on it.
Speaker 4: Read away doctor, here you.
Speaker 10: Are, thank you, dear, you the finest assistant a man
could ask for. And step back, Dear. If I'm right,
this could be toxic.
Speaker 9: But what about you, doctor? Won't you be at risk
without a mask?
Speaker 10: Not at all, my dear. My constitution is like southern hospitality, unbeatable.
Oh my, this is bad, It's very bad.
Speaker 8: What's wrong, doctor?
Speaker 10: Oh no, I was hoping I was wrong. Hurry, mindy,
fetch me my phone. I have to go on Africa
and the others. They are in grave danger.
Speaker 3: Gabriel, hah ah, Uriel. Why you are the last face
i'd expect to see tonight.
Speaker 6: Yes, my talents keep me busy. But I hope it
does not displease you to see me. Brother?
Speaker 3: Well, of course, how could I be displeased to see
the finest demon under the host ever sent fourth? It
is so rare we get to talk anymore? How are you?
Speaker 6: I am well, brother, But I do not come to
despine pleasantries. I'm afraid no.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think you had. Why have you come.
Speaker 6: To warn you a demon? As I work in the
city and I believe your ward may be an incites a.
Speaker 3: Demon after Afraid. That doesn't sound good at all.
Speaker 6: No, I fear it doesn't. This one is smart, slippery, dangerous.
I shall do my best to find him, but know
that your ward may face something truly evil this night.
Speaker 3: I hope you're fast in your hunt, as strong as
he may be. I doubt even Afred's ability to defeat
a demon Unload.
