WEBVTT - 9 | Demaris, Part Two 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.760 iHeart three d Are the Er for fall exposure. 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:06.360 Listen with that phones. 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.840 Havoctown is a production of iHeart Podcasts and Grimm and 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:16.320 Mild from Aaron Mankey Headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised. 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.720 I do not have time to properly relate the horrors 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.040 of this night, nor is there a likelihood that they 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.800 will be read by friendly eyes. But I write these 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.320 last words in the hope that they may, at some 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.200 point in the future be of service to someone else. 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.879 What I have seen this night devive, since it strains 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.680 belief this town is cursed and I will not. 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:45.720 Survive to see dawn. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.200 Instead of taking the left turn to safety, when I 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.679 reached the intersection, I turned right. I wonder now how 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.120 things would have ended if I'd just driven toward Maine 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.520 instead of turned back towards Sylvie. Between her house and 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.039 mine lay downtown, where the lights from emergency vehicles made 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.800 the world seem ghostly, unreal. I couldn't run that gauntlet, 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.240 so I took all the little side streets and alleys 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.120 to get around it. I was in shock. I didn't 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.160 know what I was doing. I didn't know what I 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.760 was going to do after. But I knew I wanted 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.000 Sylvie to ride shotgun. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.360 Hey, this is Sylvie. You know what to do. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.280 Sylvie. Uh hey, I'm coming to get you. If you 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:10.760 could just be home when I get there. There's something 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:17.240 really messed up happened, dude. And the woman who appeared 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.440 in front of my car was completely naked. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:21.880 I stopped stop. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.040 She was covered in that blood spread her eyes and 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:32.360 nose and ears, all leaking dark red. Jesus, Oh my god, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.960 Oh my god. Hey, get away, get away. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.560 Jesus Jesus. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.680 She wasn't the only one out either, the police, the 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:51.200 National Guard, the occasional gunshot ringing out, another neighbor taking 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.160 a bullet, or maybe trying to take down an infected 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.040 family member or former best friend. I had no way 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.480 of knowing how far this thing had spread, how close 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:06.079 I was to the end of the world. Sylvie Street 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:14.679 was pitch black, foreboding, not a light on anywhere, Sylvie, Sylvie, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:20.800 it's me, let me in. God damn it, Sylvie, Please fucking. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.040 Get in here. Are you crazy? 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:23.440 I've been calling you. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:24.360 Phone's dead. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.160 How long has your power been out? 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.799 All evening? Had the National Guard here earlier? A guy 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.080 claiming to be a medic took my temperature and asked 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.240 a lot of questions about who I came in contact with. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.280 You still have power at your place? 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.160 No, we can't go back there tonight. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:42.200 Why not? 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.920 Okay, I'm going to tell you something and you're not 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.280 gonna believe me, but I need you to trust me. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.440 I'm not lying and I'm not crazy. And out with it. Jesus, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:04:00.360 Jimbo came to see me before he died. Nope, go on. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.520 When I got home from Jerry Havoc's house this evening, 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.640 Jimbohorn was waiting for me. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:09.840 Go on. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.200 He was not dead or alive. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:17.200 Explain. 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:19.280 Don't make me say it. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.960 Yeah, no, say it. 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.080 Fine. He was a vampire. I knew it. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.480 I knew it. I don't mean a gloat, but I 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.960 knew it. So uh, okay, I'm sorry. What what happened 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:33.440 to Jimbo? 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.120 Oh he tried to kill me? 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.320 What? Oh my god? Wait?

Marie happened 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.039 to come check on me. And told me about his 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.320 escape from the hospital, how he killed a mortician. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:13.920 Marie, the nurse who helped your father. Yeah, ah, don't. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:14.880 I don't know what to say. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.480 Oh, and Ken, he's a vampire too, what the street preacher?

We need to check on her. 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.200 No, Kuran, Kurin, I hate to tell you this, but 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.560 I think it might be dangerous to go outside now. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.480 And no, Jimbo left her there in the house. He 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.120 said he attacked her. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.280 Well, Karin, if that's true, she may be beyond our help. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.120 Sylvie, that's no excuse not to help her. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:23.440 God damn it. 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.400 Her In, I'll drive. 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.440 No, No, you're in no shape to drive.

He was 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.600 out of sorts. He seemed to be dealing with some 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.320 business stuff that didn't make him terribly happy. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.960 He was preoccupied with business during a vampire outbreak. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.040 Yeah, weird, yep. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.200 What was the inside of the house like? 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.120 I mean?

Oh my god, you're okay, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:30.720 you're bleeding. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.600 It's hard to describe what happened to his face in 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:43.680 that moment. Surprise flickered into something unreadable, a fiery intensity, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.920 before shifting back to concern, as if a mask slipped. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.480 It did not inspire confidence in our decision to come here. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.480 Quickly, Come in here, please, I wouldn't intrude, but well. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:14:59.960 It's nonsense. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:00.880 Please. 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:02.720 I was just about to call you and tell you 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.200 to come back up. It's pandemonium down there. I mean, 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.560 have you seen It's all over the news. People have 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.440 gone completely insane. Come into the kitchen. Got to have 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:13.720 something in here to patch you up. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.960 Thank you. You were gonna call me why? 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.600 You're the only person I know here in town. I 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.680 figured I'd rather have you here and alive than elsewhere 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.360 and dead. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.520 That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard here. 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.360 Si Sylvie? 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:31.800 Was it? 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:33.280 That's what they call me? 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:35.640 Ugh, I duh. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.240 I don't know how this kitchen is set up. Hobson 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.480 usually deals with this sort of thing, and he went 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.080 down to keep watching looters of the mill. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.440 Can I use your restroom? I'm having stomach problems. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.640 Down the hall next to the office, second door on 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:50.960 the right. 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:52.920 Thanks, be right back. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.160 So is there a missus jury Havoc the fourteenth? 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:58.400 There is not? 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.200 Oh, and why is that? 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.960 I crept down the hall and found the bathroom, shut 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.600 the door loudly enough for them to hear in the kitchen, 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.080 and continued on to the next door to the dark office, 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.040 not sure what I was even looking for, or even 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.120 if there would be any evidence of well anything, let 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.280 alone proof that this seemingly normal billionaire business tycoon was 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:29.120 a bloodthirsty ghoul bent on my town's destruction. It did 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.320 cross my mind to ask why he would come to Havoc, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.760 a town named for him to destroy it, and what 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.440 I could see on his desk only supported my doubts. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.960 Spreadsheets on earnings, a mock up of the Havoc Mills project, 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.120 an insane number of post it notes with all sorts 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.920 of figures, phone numbers, emails. I mean of anything. This 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.400 was just proving how dedicated he was to building this place. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.720 I think I was feeling something near to relief when 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.920 my fingers rushed it. The ancient leather bound ledger cover, 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.400 cracked from age, but patched with great care, a sign 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.560 of its tremendous value to its owner. I touched it 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.400 earlier in the evening, only to receive a swift rebuke. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.520 Don't Maybe it was just a precious family irelom. Maybe 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.800 it was just a very old book that he treasured. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.440 But something about his earlier reaction rang an alarm bell 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.200 in my mind. And as my fingers trailed over the 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:35.840 ancient leather the book called to me A couple of 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.160 loose leaves of old paper stuck out of it, as 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.880 if saving a place in a novel. I reached out 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:46.600 and very carefully flipped open to where it was bookmarked, 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.320 and to the floor fluttered one of the sheets of paper. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.719 Oh shit. As I reached down to pick it up, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:18:00.720 my blood froze in my veins. On a sheet dated 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:05.560 the tenth of October eighteen seventeen, a page dense with information, 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.000 torn long ago from its original binding and written in 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.880 a rushed but now familiar handwriting smeared with old ink, 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.800 was an entry of Demerius Apasus journal. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:21.760 My time is short. 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.639 Dawn is coming soon, but I do not believe that 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.240 I will live long enough to see it. Whomever finds 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.240 herself reading this, please get them at sitch to my children. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.040 Tell them their mother loved them, their father loved them, 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.280 and to forgive the actions of their grandfather, who was. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.160 Doing what he believed needed to be done. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.160 I followed him into the night, hoping that I would 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.560 be able to stop his madness before he killed another. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:52.080 I could not have imagined what I would find. Even 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:52.600 in the dark. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.640 I knew the direction of the Havocafs high on the hill, 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.480 and had I not, I could have located it by 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.680 the firelight still flickering in its windows even at that 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.720 late hour. Though I moved quickly, I did not overtake 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.399 Father Josiah, but it would not have mattered as I 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.320 came to the far edge of the forest, I saw 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:16.960 him standing stalk still in silhouette against the light thrown 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.359 by a large bonfire in front of the house. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.160 And before I saw her, I heard. 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.200 Him bellow the nape, Missus Havoc, in the name of 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.680 the Holy Father, I command you to release the boy. 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.520 And then I saw her in the flicker of the firelight. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.600 Sophia Havoc, dressed in a white nightgown. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.320 A dark stain covering her breast and spreading all the 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.560 way down her belly. In her arms, she held another 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:53.800 form not much smaller than herself, a boy, limp lifeless. 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.359 She seemed frozen in place for a moment, surprised to 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.040 have been found in such a position. I thought it 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:09.160 guilt for a moment before I heard it laughter deep 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:16.000 and June, your God holds no sway here, prize, I. 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.320 Say again, Missus Haabat, releish the boy. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.520 She seemed to consider this a moment before tossing the 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.000 boy like a rag doole onto the fire beside her. 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.360 I have never seen the man move faster than Josiah 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.240 did toward the child in the fire. He dove headlong 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.040 toward it, fronting as he grabbed the prone form and tossed. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.840 It aside in a blurse. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.240 Sophia Havoc was upon him. I rushed forward to health, 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.800 but as I cleared the tree line, I hurt. Unholy wailed, 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.480 and Sophia Habit rolled off him, clawing desperately at the 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:59.000 wooden steake embedded below her stern, dark blood pulsing force 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:00.720 as she graveled at it. 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:08.000 Visit, oh Lord, we've missaging his habitation and creature and alive, 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.000 and removed far away from him. 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.240 All the snaars in the souths of the Devil. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:20.360 Let thy angels Michael, Raphael and Gabrielle dwell therein suprecifit 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:25.080 in peace, and from all Unclean's sirens, Let thy blessing 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:26.520 me always upon us. 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.840 And then finally she was dead. 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:35.440 Ah. 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:41.280 Then with that, Josiah rushed to the boy's side, once more, 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.920 hunched over the crumpled, smoldering bom. I did not hear 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.880 what he whispered, but by his slumped shoulders I could 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.119 tell that the boy had passed. I was frozen to 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.080 my spot by the horror I witnessed, but I was 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:59.119 jolted out of my stupor when he stood defiant and 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.280 looked up at the arch house before him. 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:07.399 Jerry Havoc, come out and face me, file devil. 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.600 Before the echo of his cry dissipated, the door to 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.720 the Havoc house opened and jury Havoc filled its brain. 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:20.240 Disheveled in shirt sleeves and barefoot, he took in the 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:24.199 bloody scene before him, his eyes landing on his wife's 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:28.520 body beside the fire. He wailed as he rushed down 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:29.520 and fell upon her. 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.440 Josiah gave him his moment of grief. He was himself 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:35.280 no monster. 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:37.680 It was a great. 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.159 Mistake, for when Havoc's eyes were once again raised, it 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:45.160 was not grief that burned in them, but an intense hatred. 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.399 Before Josiah could take in his position, Havoc sprang up 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.359 and into him, the both of them toppling hard and 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.280 landing on the ground with sickening thump. Havoc's hands were 0:22:56.359 --> 0:23:00.360 around Josiah's neck, and he howled as father struggled again him. 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.080 I was compelled then to rush to his aid, he 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.320 who I had cursed mere hours before. 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:07.960 What could I do? 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:12.720 Meek to merass demeris the sheep, to marrass the capt 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:20.800 stop and miracles of miracles he did. His eyes found 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:25.919 mine immediately, and his face chilled my flood. He stood 0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:29.680 slowly as Father Josiah. 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.159 Gasped and flailed beneath him. 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:35.160 Release him in the name of the Father. 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.080 De merish, you, foolish girl. 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:43.640 Run And with that Josiah veried, steak in Havoc's thigh 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:45.119 rand mess. 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:47.760 This time I listened. 0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.640 I rang blindly back through the horse back. 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:56.000 To this house. I do not know how the scuffle ended. 0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:58.199 I do not know if I will survive this. 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.720 Knife, and if I I do not know where to 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.680 run to next, for how long I would need to run. 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:08.920 Someone approaches outside. I do not know if it is 0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:13.200 Fathered Josiah or the devil himself. I suppose I will 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:19.240 find out soon enough. Be brave, my children, and know 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:23.119 that you come from a line of holy warriors. 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:37.879 I wish you well. Shit and there it ended. I 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:41.920 quickly thumbed through the large ledger itself. In it need 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:45.520 to script tiny pages and pages dense with it, and 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.639 every couple of pages a sketch of a familiar face, 0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:53.040 the one from the portrait in the living room. Sophia. 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:58.760 Havoc lovingly drawn each signed with a date October tenth, 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:03.560 the anna of her death at the hands of Josiah Abbys. 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.560 The portraits went back one a year through the pages 0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:12.399 nineteen seventy, nineteen fifty five, eighteen ninety, eighteen eighteen, and 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:16.240 beyond that handwriting going further all the way back to 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:21.280 the first entry sixteen ten. I didn't have time to 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.760
