Speaker 1: Yeah. Thirteen Days of Halloween, Devil's Night, a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart three D audio Blumhouse Television and Grimm and
Speaker 1: Mild from Aaron Mackey Headphones Recommended. Listener discretion advised. M
Speaker 1: he's gone, Please see it's gone. M m oh. I
Speaker 1: don't look back. I just ran. M h. I. I
Speaker 1: know this is the right side of the river, but
Speaker 1: I don't recognize this place. I don't think we've ever
Speaker 1: been here before. Arrow, we might really be lost this time.
Speaker 1: When did they get so cold? Boy? But we can't
Speaker 1: stay here. We're all freeze to death a road. But
Speaker 1: to where where's that light coming from? It's so right Arrow.
Speaker 1: We must have walked in a circle because that's the
Speaker 1: river again, which means, who the fuck are you? Silence,
Speaker 1: what are you doing out here? I was we were running, running,
Speaker 1: running from the river. I mean, there's something in the river.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get home. But I think we might
Speaker 1: be lost. I think, so where's home? Then, Bradbury, Bradberry,
Speaker 1: Well you're a pretty long way off. Take these follow me.
Speaker 1: Whatever you were doing in the river, you're soaked through. Boy,
Speaker 1: you need a fire. We've got kindling down here, but
Speaker 1: the fuel is down below, and I don't have time
Speaker 1: to wait. Corn Arrol h Yah, where are we? Just
Speaker 1: walk towards the light. That's your fire? It is, it's
Speaker 1: so right? Who's that? Those are? My people? Sorry, lot
Speaker 1: that they are. It's a whole city out here. You
Speaker 1: sound surprised, evening, father, not tonight. I know where we are,
Speaker 1: do you now? I've heard of this place, the camp
Speaker 1: on the outskirts, the shanty town, or Coverville if you like,
Speaker 1: though I can't say I care for the latter. My
Speaker 1: mom told me about it, and why would she do that?
Speaker 1: So I would stay away? Sage advice? This is hardly
Speaker 1: a place to visit, especially for outsiders. I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: didn't mean to save your apologies. That's the last thing
Speaker 1: anyone here needs. Just stay near me. Hello, father, you're
Speaker 1: looking well. You look like you could be working. I
Speaker 1: just thought and you thought wrong. You all live out here,
Speaker 1: if you can call it living. Did the bank take
Speaker 1: your house? You sure ask a lot of questions, don't you.
Speaker 1: Some of them yes, lost out to the powers that be.
Speaker 1: But financial problems are hardly a sin, Father, bank forgiveness.
Speaker 1: But might I have a minute of your tonight? You
Speaker 1: will know when your time has come back to work
Speaker 1: all of you. Thank you, Father, Thank you? Are you
Speaker 1: the priest me hardly? And I don't think you'll find
Speaker 1: any minute the cloth around here. These are God's forgotten
Speaker 1: people after all. Let's just say the title is honorary. Alright.
Speaker 1: What you got in your arms, son, just throw it
Speaker 1: on in. I've never seen a fire so big, isn't
Speaker 1: it magnificent? These people may not have much, but what
Speaker 1: they do have can be awful, useful. M hmm, it's
Speaker 1: so warm I feel dry already. Thank you? Really, we
Speaker 1: have to beginning on. You wanted to know where all
Speaker 1: these people come from. Didn't you to hear their stories? No?
Speaker 1: Who's that Andy? Andy? Get over here? Lift your shirt.
Speaker 1: That's quite a scar, isn't it. Oh my god? Shot
Speaker 1: right through the chest. You know where the rude river is? Boy?
Speaker 1: I don't think so well. You know who Henry Ford is,
Speaker 1: don't you? Yeah? Of course that's really lines son of
Speaker 1: a bit. Well, it's not so far away and not
Speaker 1: so long ago. Henry build himself a factory there on
Speaker 1: the route, one of the biggest goddamn facilities anyone's ever seen.
Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of people worked there, even made its
Speaker 1: own electricity a city into itself, isn't that right, Andy?
Speaker 1: Something like that? Andy worked there, and for a while
Speaker 1: life was good. But really, people don't learn anything. Greed
Speaker 1: comes along and suddenly the world gets a little tougher,
Speaker 1: a little poorer. People don't buy as many cars as
Speaker 1: they used to, and hard decisions have to be made.
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, there's fifty thousand men out of
Speaker 1: a job. But what happened to you, Andy? They was
Speaker 1: firing folks for just about anything, saying we was all lazy,
Speaker 1: trumping up charges out of nowhere, doing their best turn
Speaker 1: us against one another, until one day I got accused
Speaker 1: of stirring up some sort of communist sentiment on the
Speaker 1: factory floor. I never had a red thought in all
Speaker 1: my life, total horseshit. But next thing I know, I'm
Speaker 1: let go for nothing. So it's bitches, owner Scar Well,
Speaker 1: we marched on the plant, a few thousand of us
Speaker 1: to demand o goddamn jobs back, pushed through police and
Speaker 1: gas and got right up to those gates. And what
Speaker 1: did they do? They opened fire forwards own people, pulling
Speaker 1: the trigger. That cruel beastard let it all happen instigated
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I'm a victim twice over. I am
Speaker 1: a victim of that man's greed. But that's enough the
Speaker 1: holes or he is it now? Andy here saved himself
Speaker 1: by shoving the man next to him in the line
Speaker 1: of fire like a goddamn coward. A lot of good
Speaker 1: if did him. My people found him bleeding out, stitched
Speaker 1: him up from set him my way, and now he
Speaker 1: owes me his life, don't you, Andy father? You see
Speaker 1: time for you? Maybe never? What do you think of
Speaker 1: that boy, sir father? I appreciate your help, I really do.
Speaker 1: The mean arrow should be on our way. No, when's
Speaker 1: the last time you eight? Well? This morning you're on foot,
Speaker 1: So how far you think you're gonna get without something
Speaker 1: in your belly? Food is good and hot. No harm
Speaker 1: in having a decent meal. Warm yourself up a bit
Speaker 1: and get your energy back. I wish they could relieve,
Speaker 1: but we need don't be this courteous boy. It's hard
Speaker 1: to abide disrespect when a man has already got so
Speaker 1: little left in the world. Follow like a good lad cookie.
Speaker 1: How's the slop looking? M pretty bare? Oil? You better
Speaker 1: stretch it. We got another mouth to feed. Tonight. Father.
Speaker 1: Can we speak with you a moment. I'll be right back. Marjorie,
Speaker 1: What is it this time? I told you today I
Speaker 1: wouldn't eat this stuff if I were you what I said,
Speaker 1: do not eat this? What are you doing here? I
Speaker 1: have the same question for you. Stopping for a quick
Speaker 1: bite at the hobo camp on your way home. Didn't
Speaker 1: have a choice. This guy cornered me in the wood.
Speaker 1: Let me follow him back here. I heard of places
Speaker 1: like this, but I've never seen one in person before.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine living here. They are not bad people
Speaker 1: max down on their luck. Yes, maybe some have made mistakes.
Speaker 1: That is true of all of us. You want to talk,
Speaker 1: But that man, the one they call father, he is
Speaker 1: not like the others. Do not turn your back on him.
Speaker 1: Yes I know, clearly, I know. But that was his night,
Speaker 1: their night, Yours will come. You do not need to ask,
Speaker 1: I say, do not ask me again. I'm going to
Speaker 1: make a run for it. That would be unwise. Max.
Speaker 1: He controls these people and they will never let you out.
Speaker 1: But I could help you. I'll take my chances. Take
Speaker 1: a seat on while it's still warm. One more bowl here.
Speaker 1: Can't forget the boys familiar. Who the fuck are you?
Speaker 1: And what do you mean? You're not my cook? Then?
Speaker 1: What the hell are you doing here cooking your food?
Speaker 1: He's more salt? Hey, you and I aren't done yet? Um?
Speaker 1: What is it? Food? Sipped? Go on? Then I was
Speaker 1: tonight looking father, goddamn devil's amness. I'll deal with him,
Speaker 1: I said, how's tonight? Father? Jesus Christ? Are her? I
Speaker 1: heard you the first time. Today is not your day?
Speaker 1: And don't ask again? Eat and shut your mouth. We
Speaker 1: got a guest. Is that what he is? I didn't
Speaker 1: think you had guests? How old are you, boy? Young
Speaker 1: to fight? Huh? What do you know about the war?
Speaker 1: Just a little bits of what my dad told me?
Speaker 1: He served? He no, sir, he has a bad lake. Well,
Speaker 1: my father died in the Civil War, but me and
Speaker 1: my four brothers apparently had it in our blood. Do
Speaker 1: Enlist went to France like most everybody didn't. I wanted
Speaker 1: to see the world. You know what I saw? Farm
Speaker 1: fields and pastures, rain and mud, not much more than
Speaker 1: that empty space for men to fight in One day,
Speaker 1: we were all marching through this farm land. Shells just
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, took the whole company by surprise,
Speaker 1: and one fell swoop. The Germans got every last one
Speaker 1: of them. Oh but me, how did you make it?
Speaker 1: Hid like a coward, didn't you, Arthur? What choice did
Speaker 1: I have? What would have been a point out in front?
Speaker 1: There was an old barn. I made it just in
Speaker 1: the nick of time, laid there till everything was quiet,
Speaker 1: and I waited till morning. God damn bodies everywhere. Man
Speaker 1: i'd spoken to just the day before, ground up like me.
Speaker 1: The only way you could identify most of them was
Speaker 1: by their dog tags and the earth soaked with blood
Speaker 1: and guts whatever else. I think about those fields to
Speaker 1: this day, and that ground was tilled, Crops were planted, grown, harvested, eaten,
Speaker 1: with no memory of what came before. I look at
Speaker 1: this piece of meat on the end of my fork,
Speaker 1: and I question is sometimes? But then I think, what's
Speaker 1: the difference? You drunk, old fool, don't do that to
Speaker 1: this boy when he's about to eat. All right, I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm hungry. I'm just saying it's all look
Speaker 1: around you see any live stock. These are dark and
Speaker 1: miserable times, and the ends long ways off. People have
Speaker 1: to survive. This man came home from the war and
Speaker 1: drank himself jake legged and brain damage from bathtub gin.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what he's saying. Just tell the barther
Speaker 1: that's enough. Shut the fuck up. Since we're being honest,
Speaker 1: why don't you tell the boy the whole truth? Those
Speaker 1: tags weren't all you took? Were they all? Right? What
Speaker 1: else did you take? Let me think? Watches, wallets, rings,
Speaker 1: gold teeth? Father please says you're nothing but a goddamn
Speaker 1: grave robber. Isn't that right? Okay? And and for what
Speaker 1: you sold? It? All for drinking and gambling money, didn't you?
Speaker 1: And who saved you? Who pulled you out of that ditch,
Speaker 1: beaten left for dead? You did, father, Because that's what
Speaker 1: I do. I find people in need and I give
Speaker 1: them back their life. Do you understand, boy, Arthur? And
Speaker 1: most of these people have done horrible things, but hunger
Speaker 1: and desperation will drive the men beyond their humanity. They
Speaker 1: can't help themselves. We're done. Thank you for the suit,
Speaker 1: but I have a long way to go, and now
Speaker 1: we need to leave. Come with me, I'll show you
Speaker 1: the way out. The world looks at this place, our community,
Speaker 1: and they see the poorer and the leftover, the migrants
Speaker 1: and the jobless. I just see misguided souls. Another home
Speaker 1: goes up, another one comes down, and all of this
Speaker 1: is the fuel. Why don't people just live in the
Speaker 1: empty shacks instead of building new ones. It's important that
Speaker 1: everyone here builds their own place. Even in these times.
Speaker 1: People need a sense of place and purpose. Why are
Speaker 1: there so many empty roots? What do you think we
Speaker 1: burn for that fire? It's the last part of a
Speaker 1: person's debt. When they're paid up, they leave. Where do
Speaker 1: they go? This way? No, I'm not going anywhere else
Speaker 1: but home. Follow me in and the way out will
Speaker 1: be clear. Come in, please, come in that you father?
Speaker 1: Is it? Tie? Tell me? Are you sorry for what
Speaker 1: you've done? Every day since I did it? Lord? I
Speaker 1: know I've done wrong by your ways. I just want
Speaker 1: to see herald again. Nobody suspected an old blind woman
Speaker 1: would cheat at the short straw? Would they forgive me?
Speaker 1: I was scared? I know it's time to go. Bless you, father,
Speaker 1: how I have waited? Can you help me? Boy? Give
Speaker 1: her your arms? Son? Now everyone follow me. Tell them
Speaker 1: what you told me that I am sorry? And how
Speaker 1: have you paid with my life? Yes? You have? Now
Speaker 1: take my hands. M hm, what what just happened? I
Speaker 1: released her because he was ready. Where did she go?
Speaker 1: It looks like she just burst into frames. Her debt
Speaker 1: is paid, she went home and now this place is
Speaker 1: for the fire. Someday this is where they will all go. No, No,
Speaker 1: you have no right. Don't act like you haven't confronted death. Boy,
Speaker 1: there's a reason I found you tonight of all nights,
Speaker 1: and a reason you're here now. You think that you
Speaker 1: can have a judgment that you're better than these people
Speaker 1: we're going? You really don't get it, do you? You're
Speaker 1: not going anywhere? Someone? Get the boy? Well, eat you,
Speaker 1: I've got the dog. I can see it in your boy.
Speaker 1: There's death on you. You know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: don't you? And it's fresh tonight. But you're not sure
Speaker 1: how you feel about it? Are you? You're alive, but
Speaker 1: at the expense of someone else's blood. Oh, the guilt,
Speaker 1: It just isn't really there, is it. I believe that
Speaker 1: now you belong to me. Let me go. How what
Speaker 1: was that? Father? Something's got my neck, but I feel
Speaker 1: it free. Looks like it was there night after all?
Speaker 1: What Who is that? Cookie? No? Then, who the fuck
Speaker 1: are you. What are you? The boy? He is not yours?
Speaker 1: You not at this world, and neither are you Max Running.
Speaker 1: This is my house, These are my people. You have
Speaker 1: no right? What have you turned to my fire? Thirteen
