Speaker 1: Bridgewater is a production of iHeartRadio three D Audio and
Speaker 1: Grimm and Mild from Aaron Maky For a full exposure
Speaker 1: listen with headphones. Listener discretion advised.
Speaker 2: Is there coffee?
Speaker 3: I just put on another pot?
Speaker 2: What we have already gone through an entire pot at
Speaker 2: seven thirty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Olivia and Vippen both got here in the
Speaker 4: last ten minutes.
Speaker 5: So I told you eight cups was barely going to
Speaker 5: be enough for the three of us.
Speaker 3: So how was the coroners Well?
Speaker 6: Not as forthcoming as we'd hope she'd be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess expecting her to give too private citizens
Speaker 4: information about an open case was maybe a little too
Speaker 4: much to ask.
Speaker 3: Thankfully. I made a call to Officer Batista this morning.
Speaker 5: Had she talked to you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems Katie convinced her that it was important
Speaker 4: for me to be looped in on things that might
Speaker 4: be relevant to our triangle activities.
Speaker 3: And this qualifies it sure seems like it.
Speaker 4: The body they found in Freetown, it was drowned.
Speaker 6: Drapped, but they weren't found anywhere near the lake. Did
Speaker 6: someone move the boss?
Speaker 4: The strange thing, They're not sure they were drowned in
Speaker 4: the lake. Their clothes weren't wet, and based on the
Speaker 4: time of death and the temperature yesterday, there wouldn't have
Speaker 4: been enough time for the clothes to dry completely, so
Speaker 4: water got in there lung some other way.
Speaker 7: Okay, wait a second. I have been sorting through the
Speaker 7: reports the secrets have gotten in the last two days,
Speaker 7: and there are a lot. And there was one.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the one up by Dighton Racks.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, here it is. Two tourists went to see
Speaker 7: Dighton Rock in late afternoon. As they were leaving, it
Speaker 7: was just getting dark, and they walked along the river
Speaker 7: and they saw the head of the large creature resembling
Speaker 7: a horse Jesus, walk out of the bushes on the
Speaker 7: river bank. When they approached, the creature vanished. Well, I mean,
Speaker 7: we thought that it was the Jersey Devil creature. Rippen
Speaker 7: has been tracking what if it was a kelpie?
Speaker 8: A kelpie.
Speaker 4: A kelpie's a shape shifting horse spirit that's known for
Speaker 4: luring and drowning people.
Speaker 5: Some people think that the Lockness Monster is a kelpie.
Speaker 5: Oh my god nessie might be real.
Speaker 2: They could it drown someone on dry land.
Speaker 4: I don't see why not. I mean, if any of
Speaker 4: this is possible. That's possible. If it's a Kelpie from
Speaker 4: the Fay Realm, it might have magical abilities that we're
Speaker 4: not aware of.
Speaker 8: Trick.
Speaker 6: Was there any other evidence on the body, signs of
Speaker 6: a struggle, strange symbols, torn clothing, anything like that.
Speaker 3: No, No, it was just the water logged lungs.
Speaker 6: So whatever it was, kelpie or something else, the victim
Speaker 6: didn't know in time.
Speaker 3: To fight back.
Speaker 4: And a lot of creatures are very good at tricking people.
Speaker 4: They lure them into situations that you don't realize are
Speaker 4: dangerous and until it's too late.
Speaker 8: That's my concern.
Speaker 6: Most people wouldn't know what to do if a monster
Speaker 6: came out of the woods to attack them, and if
Speaker 6: they don't even know it is a monster, we could.
Speaker 2: Be looking at a lot more dead bodies.
Speaker 8: Exactly.
Speaker 4: Shit.
Speaker 6: I think the attacks are escalating, and with what happened
Speaker 6: with these two and you and your friend yesterday, the
Speaker 6: limit is starting to break out of the woods. That's
Speaker 6: not good.
Speaker 2: You think it's time.
Speaker 8: I think we've put it off long enough.
Speaker 3: What are we talking about?
Speaker 8: Put what off? Closing the gate?
Speaker 4: But we don't know how yet, and maybe maybe we
Speaker 4: don't even need to close it in the way that
Speaker 4: we think we do. When listen, when we were trapped yesterday,
Speaker 4: we were thinking that there might be another framing, another.
Speaker 3: Way to look at all of this.
Speaker 4: We were we know, getting out of the Paye Realm
Speaker 4: deal is probably impossible, but what if we just renegotiated
Speaker 4: the whole thing. What if there was a way to
Speaker 4: get rid of the liminal entirely, and we would get
Speaker 4: all that out dad, and then we would keep the
Speaker 4: monsters just under control, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, And what would that be exactly?
Speaker 4: Well, we basically let the gate stay open? What absolutely
Speaker 4: not okay, okay, well, but not open. But it's it's unlocked.
Speaker 4: Like the Faye creatures are able to come here, we're
Speaker 4: able to go there, and it's under some sort of
Speaker 4: strict treaty of course, that they have to be peaceful.
Speaker 3: What makes you think this is a good idea?
Speaker 4: Think about everything over there, Think about all that magic,
Speaker 4: all that opportunity for learning me.
Speaker 5: You want to what colonize the fay realm?
Speaker 3: Come come on, you know that that's not what I mean.
Speaker 3: We could learn from them.
Speaker 4: They could come over here and they could take from
Speaker 4: our world the things that are useful to them as
Speaker 4: long as it's not people, you know, as long as
Speaker 4: it's not harmful, and then.
Speaker 3: We can go over there. We learned to use Matt, like,
Speaker 3: really learn to use magic.
Speaker 2: Jeremy, where is this coming from?
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 8: Come on?
Speaker 3: Haven't we been looking for a solution this whole time?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But why does this seem like the solution to you?
Speaker 4: I don't know that it's the solution, but I think
Speaker 4: it's worth some out of the box thinking here.
Speaker 5: No, Jeremy, this is her. What when you talk about
Speaker 5: the legend tripper, this is all her.
Speaker 3: No, she's just as invested in this as.
Speaker 5: Well, but in the right way. I mean, we know
Speaker 5: that people have wanted access to the other side for
Speaker 5: less than honorable means.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what you think she's less trustworthy than Peyton?
Speaker 4: The Gathering haven't exactly been unimpeachable actors up until now.
Speaker 5: No idea? Who this woman is?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 5: You don't know why she'd want to go into the
Speaker 5: fay Realm.
Speaker 3: Look, I know you didn't exactly click with her. Okay,
Speaker 3: you don't know her, and neither do you. That's not
Speaker 3: what's her name.
Speaker 5: Jeremy, exactly? You matter how many times. You have her
Speaker 5: phone number? What did you even save it under?
Speaker 3: None of that matters. The new deal would be balanced.
Speaker 4: Humans wouldn't be able to abuse the Fay Realm anymore
Speaker 4: than the Fay Realm could do harm here.
Speaker 8: It's not happening, Dad, No, I'm sorry, Jeremy. This is
Speaker 8: not open for discussion.
Speaker 6: We've seen what that place can do and there's no
Speaker 6: version of opening it up further that ends well for us.
Speaker 3: You know, he's right, so we just go along with
Speaker 3: the way it has been right? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4: Just let two people sacrifice themselves every forty years.
Speaker 6: I agree that things need to change, but the Fay
Speaker 6: Realm needs to be stopped, not invited in. But that's
Speaker 6: going to take time, and we don't have time, not
Speaker 6: now that people are dying.
Speaker 3: Hold on, what are you trying to say?
Speaker 6: I'm saying that we have to give the Fay Realm
Speaker 6: what they want, at least for now.
Speaker 4: What you want us to go find two people willing
Speaker 4: to go into a liminal space for forty years?
Speaker 8: Come on, No, Anne and I are going to go in.
Speaker 6: We're going to go in, and Alden is going to
Speaker 6: come out. And then You'll have the next forty years
Speaker 6: to figure out how to change the deal.
Speaker 3: What Jeremy, No, No, I am sorry, that is not happening.
Speaker 8: It's the only thing that we know will work.
Speaker 3: No, it's the only thing so far that we know
Speaker 3: will work.
Speaker 4: There's still so much more that we can explore, and
Speaker 4: if we can access any kind of Fay magic, then
Speaker 4: we have a lot more options.
Speaker 8: And we just let monsters roam free.
Speaker 4: In the meantime, we don't know for sure that a
Speaker 4: monster killed this most recent camper.
Speaker 6: The victim drowned on dry land, Jeremy, and there will
Speaker 6: be more. You know that we can't let more people die.
Speaker 3: So you just want you and Ann to do it instead.
Speaker 2: We won't be dying, Jeremy. You know that.
Speaker 3: How could you possibly be considering this.
Speaker 2: I don't see how we have another option, Honey. I've
Speaker 2: lived a long life.
Speaker 3: He hasn't. You can't expect him to, Jeremy.
Speaker 8: It was my idea. I went and talked to Peyton.
Speaker 6: You did why, And she knows how to get us
Speaker 6: in there and how to do it correctly so that
Speaker 6: we don't run into the same issues that celested. She's
Speaker 6: not positive that we can get Alden out at the
Speaker 6: same time, he might have to pass through to wherever
Speaker 6: the souls eventually go, but she said it was worth
Speaker 6: a try, and once balance is restored, she promised to
Speaker 6: stick around for a bit and try to help you
Speaker 6: find a way to change the deal or at least
Speaker 6: institute a better system.
Speaker 3: You've been You've been planning this for how long?
Speaker 8: I knew I was on borrowed time? Son? I knew
Speaker 8: the moment I stepped out of there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't belong here.
Speaker 8: I don't. I just can't. I can't.
Speaker 3: This is this is We can.
Speaker 8: Talk it all through. Okay.
Speaker 6: I was going to tell you, but I wasn't sure.
Speaker 8: When was the right time.
Speaker 5: Oh, let you guys just talk talk to each other,
Speaker 5: because this really feels like a private family business.
Speaker 2: Hang on, I'll come live.
Speaker 5: We'll talk later.
Speaker 7: Okay, but I think you guys just we will give
Speaker 7: you some space.
Speaker 4: So you knew you you're getting sick and barely sleeping,
Speaker 4: feeling dizzy and feeling sorry.
Speaker 3: Do you just you knew all along?
Speaker 6: I wasn't sure, but I think you were right, Jeremy,
Speaker 6: I think I'm not supposed to be here.
Speaker 3: WHOA I never.
Speaker 6: Said that, but you said the limital might be trying
Speaker 6: to take me back.
Speaker 8: What if it's not about that.
Speaker 6: What if it's about here rejecting me like I'm a
Speaker 6: bad organtrol.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, stop talking like that.
Speaker 8: I barely feel like i'm here, Jeremy. I'm feeling worse
Speaker 8: every day.
Speaker 3: Why why didn't you say something then?
Speaker 8: Because it won't change anything.
Speaker 6: I wanted to have what time with you I could,
Speaker 6: and I even keep fucking that up.
Speaker 3: Oh Dad, you're not You're not.
Speaker 6: But now, with the way things are going with people dying,
Speaker 6: this is the right thing to do.
Speaker 3: How could you make this decision without at least talking
Speaker 3: to me first.
Speaker 8: It's not your decision to make.
Speaker 3: It's not yours. It's neither of yours.
Speaker 4: You don't get to unilaterally decide how to fix a
Speaker 4: problem that we're all dealing with.
Speaker 6: I'm the source of the problem to begin with.
Speaker 3: I came out wrong.
Speaker 8: And if I hadn't come out.
Speaker 4: At all, if you hadn't come out, then the souls
Speaker 4: would have needed to cycle anyway, right, And that's the deal.
Speaker 3: Every forty years, the liminal needs something new. So you
Speaker 3: coming out didn't break things. They were broken already. But
Speaker 3: how do you even know that going back will work?
Speaker 4: You're you're not new to the Faye realm, right, so
Speaker 4: it might not even appease there.
Speaker 2: I'll be new man.
Speaker 6: As far as we know, the Liminal needs two people
Speaker 6: at all times. Okay, but both people don't need to
Speaker 6: enter at the same time. Alden entered in nineteen forty
Speaker 6: to someone all ready there, and that person left when
Speaker 6: I entered, but Alden stayed. Every forty years, someone comes in,
Speaker 6: but I think they only.
Speaker 3: Pass over every eighty years.
Speaker 6: That means if both Anne and I go in at
Speaker 6: the same time, who knows, maybe we can actually buy
Speaker 6: eighty years a piece before new people need to go in.
Speaker 3: Listen to yourself. You're guessing at all of that.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but speculation isn't a good enough reason to
Speaker 4: sacrifice yourself.
Speaker 8: Not at all speculation.
Speaker 6: We know the Liminal needs two people, and Alden has
Speaker 6: served his time. He deserves to either get a chance
Speaker 6: to live life here or to go wherever the souls
Speaker 6: go beyond the liminal.
Speaker 8: He deserves peace.
Speaker 3: Oh what about you?
Speaker 8: You don't I'm an adult. I can make my own decisions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, as someone who is physically your elder, I
Speaker 4: should get to veto this decision.
Speaker 8: Jeremy. I know you're angler, of.
Speaker 3: Course I'm angry. How could I not be angry. I'm
Speaker 3: fucking furious, and you have every right to be.
Speaker 8: I know this is all coming as a shock.
Speaker 3: Oh you think I'm just mad about this, that this
Speaker 3: is just a reaction. There is so much more that
Speaker 3: I'm angry about, Jeremy.
Speaker 4: I am angry that you didn't talk to me about
Speaker 4: any of this before now. And I'm angry that you've
Speaker 4: been feeling like your fucking body is rejecting the president
Speaker 4: and you said nothing about that.
Speaker 3: And I'm angry Dad.
Speaker 4: That in the time you've been here, we've had to
Speaker 4: focus on stopping monsters and breaking fucking curses rather than
Speaker 4: actually getting to know each other.
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, and that's just from last week. I'm angry,
Speaker 3: so fucking angry at you.
Speaker 4: I'm angry that I grew up full of questions and
Speaker 4: I had no answers about you. And I'm angry that
Speaker 4: you spent what little of my childhood you were present for.
Speaker 3: Having a fucking affair with a woman that I didn't
Speaker 3: meet until just a month ago. I'm angry, Dad, I'm
Speaker 3: angry that I had a whole sister, a whole sister.
Speaker 4: That I never knew about, and that you're trying this
Speaker 4: hard to risk your life for a boy who is
Speaker 4: and even your son that you left.
Speaker 3: I'm mad that you left.
Speaker 4: Dad, and now you want to do it again, except
Speaker 4: that this time.
Speaker 3: You're choosing to.
Speaker 4: And if you, if you do this, I do not
Speaker 4: know that I will ever stop being angry.
Speaker 8: I understand that, No, I understand all of that.
Speaker 3: You you do not do that. You do not get
Speaker 3: to pretend to know what I'm going through. You you
Speaker 3: barely know me. You can't.
Speaker 8: I'm not pretending you think this is easy for me.
Speaker 3: You think this is what I want, what either of
Speaker 3: us want, I don't know. You two get to be together, right,
Speaker 3: the two of.
Speaker 4: You get to walk off into the sunset together and
Speaker 4: spend all of eternity just the two of you, just
Speaker 4: like you always wanted.
Speaker 2: Honey. I am not thrilled about this either. Going into
Speaker 2: the liminal doesn't change the fact that I missed my life. Okay,
Speaker 2: doesn't make me younger. It doesn't give me another shot
Speaker 2: of being with Thomas. But it does give you and
Speaker 2: Shelley and live and Ethan and everyone a chance.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you don't bullshit me. Do not do that.
Speaker 4: It has always been about you two, and fuck anyone
Speaker 4: else who might be affected by your actions. As long
Speaker 4: as you get what you want, that's all that matters.
Speaker 4: You're not thinking about your children, don't pretend. Don't pretend
Speaker 4: to be thinking about your children and all of this.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not fair.
Speaker 4: Oh really, Oh no, you too were so focused on
Speaker 4: each other that your kids grew up without parents.
Speaker 2: We tried, Jeremy, we tried, we were going to be
Speaker 2: a family. And what happened back then wasn't our fault,
Speaker 2: right of.
Speaker 3: Course, Sorry, sorry, it was mine. Isn't that what you're
Speaker 3: trying to say.
Speaker 4: That's why you went into the woods alone that night
Speaker 4: because Anne was watching me, So it's my fault that
Speaker 4: you never came back again.
Speaker 9: No, that is not what I said.
Speaker 6: What happened on that ledge would have happened even if
Speaker 6: I had back up. I was trying to save someone's life.
Speaker 3: Well what about me? What about my life? Don't you
Speaker 3: get it?
Speaker 4: You are doing the same thing that you did back then.
Speaker 4: You're putting yourself in danger for a complete stranger.
Speaker 8: That's what I do. That's my job.
Speaker 3: No, not anymore.
Speaker 4: I hate to break it to you, Dad, but you're
Speaker 4: not a cop anymore, and you're not a superhero, and
Speaker 4: you don't get to be the one who saves the world.
Speaker 6: Every time I am trying to save you.
Speaker 3: Oh come on, you were taken from me, Jeremy.
Speaker 6: I know that you don't remember it very well, but
Speaker 6: I was terrified and the things you were talking about
Speaker 6: after we found you.
Speaker 3: Something took you. Whether it was a.
Speaker 6: Puckwadgie or the fay Realm or a fucking kelpie, something
Speaker 6: tried to lure you deeper into the wood.
Speaker 8: I came so close to losing you for good. I
Speaker 8: just that cap that couldn't happen. How would have done anything.
Speaker 6: I would have jumped off that ledge again and again
Speaker 6: just to keep you safe.
Speaker 3: I'm not five years old anymore, and I am not weak.
Speaker 3: I know that I'm not gonna get lord away.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not, and you cannot keep me safe by
Speaker 4: going away again.
Speaker 8: I have to try.
Speaker 6: I may not be a cop anymore, but I'm still
Speaker 6: your dad. I'm always going to be your dad, and
Speaker 6: that means doing everything I can to make your world
Speaker 6: a safer place.
Speaker 3: No, Jeremy, Nope, we're not giving up.
Speaker 8: We're not.
Speaker 2: We have time, Jeremy, someone is dead.
Speaker 8: We have time.
Speaker 2: And whatever is coming out of Free Town, whatever trapped
Speaker 2: you yesterday, it's gonna happen again, and it's going to
Speaker 2: be worse next time.
Speaker 8: These are already worse than they were in seventy nine.
Speaker 8: Everything is breaking open so much faster.
Speaker 3: We know so much more now.
Speaker 4: You didn't even know what was real back then, and
Speaker 4: now well now you have me. I mean, I've spent
Speaker 4: my entire life studying exactly this, and I am going
Speaker 4: to find another way.
Speaker 8: Wait, Jeremy, just.
Speaker 3: Don't do anything until you talk to me. Okay, don't
Speaker 3: do anything. Promise me.
Speaker 8: Okay, I promise. I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Speaker 3: You're not going to leave at all.
Speaker 5: I can't believe this place is even open at eight.
Speaker 2: Am and weirdly busy.
Speaker 7: Apparently maybe everyone is having as heavy a morning as
Speaker 7: we are. Two IPAs that are not hazy if you got.
Speaker 5: Them, Okay, you were not kidding.
Speaker 7: Oh you're telling me you don't need a drink?
Speaker 5: No, No, I definitely do big time. You think they're
Speaker 5: really going to go through with it.
Speaker 7: Thanks, I don't know, not if Jeremy has anything to
Speaker 7: say about it.
Speaker 5: And you, I mean, they're your grandparents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they are.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I've known my nana my whole life, and in my experience,
Speaker 7: you can't exactly tell her what to do. Once she
Speaker 7: sets her mind on something, that's it.
Speaker 5: Even if you asked her not to.
Speaker 7: Well, if she really thinks it's necessary like that, if
Speaker 7: she doesn't, then people will die. I mean, then no
Speaker 7: one can stop her, not me, not my mom or Ethan,
Speaker 7: not even Jeremy.
Speaker 5: Why do I get the feeling that Thomas Bradshaw is
Speaker 5: the exact same way.
Speaker 7: Because you're best friends are the son, and you know,
Speaker 7: I think stubbornness is in the brad jaw blood.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think you're right. God, poor Jeremy
Speaker 5: and your mom and you and your brother and Thomas
Speaker 5: and and the thing they're offering to do. Well, no
Speaker 5: one really comes out winning in this scenario. Huh, Nope.
Speaker 7: And I think I think there's nothing I can do
Speaker 7: about it at this moment, so I'm just gonna pretend
Speaker 7: it isn't happening.
Speaker 5: I'm sure a therapist would say that's healthy.
Speaker 7: So and he guesses on why exactly an Irish pub
Speaker 7: is this busy on a Wednesday morning. It's not Saint
Speaker 7: Patrick's day.
Speaker 5: So I honestly have no idea. Maybe a meeting of
Speaker 5: some kind.
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe wait is that Spencer and Sitny.
Speaker 5: Now with this kid?
Speaker 3: It's not looking good?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: What's not looking good?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, are you having a seekers meeting?
Speaker 10: Not officially, but a bunch of us wanted to get
Speaker 10: together to talk about the dead woman in Freetown.
Speaker 11: That is not our most present concern.
Speaker 3: We don't know that the kid is actually.
Speaker 11: A child went missing this morning from a family in Somerset.
Speaker 9: It's just a.
Speaker 11: Matter of time before he shows up dead in the forest,
Speaker 11: just like that woman.
Speaker 10: Okay, we have no reason to think that the child
Speaker 10: is in danger.
Speaker 1: Yet a lot of creatures have been known to lord
Speaker 1: children away, but that doesn't mean they're killed.
Speaker 11: Don't be so naive. It's just like the seventies. You
Speaker 11: two weren't here for it, but it was terrifying. I
Speaker 11: was ten years old when that girl went missing and
Speaker 11: she was found, but.
Speaker 9: They never did catch that cult.
Speaker 7: It wasn't the children of Titchuba that took the.
Speaker 5: Girl, and I don't even know that you could categorize
Speaker 5: them as a cult. Religious extremists maybe.
Speaker 9: And who are you?
Speaker 7: We're residents of the Bridgewater Triangle just like you, and
Speaker 7: we're worried about what's going on too well good.
Speaker 5: What exactly happened with the miss.
Speaker 10: A family woke up this morning and their twelve year
Speaker 10: old boy was gone? No note, the celfa was still
Speaker 10: in his nightstand, and none of the neighbors saw anything.
Speaker 5: They've already started a search.
Speaker 11: What they should be doing is coming here to investigate.
Speaker 5: I don't think the police are in the habit of
Speaker 5: consulting paranormal clubs.
Speaker 11: I'm not part of whatever strange group you are all
Speaker 11: here for. I mean this bar what That's why I
Speaker 11: came down here this morning. This bar is a hotbed
Speaker 11: for all kinds of satanic activity.
Speaker 8: Here we go.
Speaker 11: There's you weird ghost people, and then there's all the
Speaker 11: rock bands that play here on the weekend. I play
Speaker 11: Bridge every Friday down the street at the Community Center,
Speaker 11: and I see all sorts of hooligans with dark clothing
Speaker 11: and piercings and colored hair, and I swear they are armed.
Speaker 7: A punk band did not kidnap a child.
Speaker 11: How do you know all those musicians just use their
Speaker 11: bands as a front for their satanic rituals, just like
Speaker 11: the people back in the seventies were all free love
Speaker 11: on the surface but evil underneath.
Speaker 5: In the seventies may have been misguided, but they were
Speaker 5: not in the habit of kidnapping anyone. Oh and you know,
Speaker 5: do you.
Speaker 9: You barely look old enough to be out of school.
Speaker 9: You weren't hear that? Okay, this is all.
Speaker 10: Distracting from the real issue here. Something is attacking people
Speaker 10: in the Bridgewater Triangle. I don't think that woman just
Speaker 10: dropped out of her own accord, but the police aren't
Speaker 10: saying anything about her cause of death.
Speaker 5: She was murdered, ma'am.
Speaker 12: We appreciate that you're worried, but we're actually trying to
Speaker 12: figure something out here.
Speaker 11: There's nothing to figure out, you know, more than you're
Speaker 11: letting on. And I'm not the only concerned citizen here.
Speaker 11: All my Facebook friends agree that this whole area has
Speaker 11: gone downhill.
Speaker 10: This isn't because of humans. There are creatures doing this.
Speaker 10: These two saw one.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 10: We don't figure out what kind of creature killed that woman.
Speaker 10: We can't fight against it, so if you'd please.
Speaker 11: Absurd there's no such thing as monsters and people are sitting.
Speaker 7: In here talking excuse us?
Speaker 5: En, Hi, what are you doing here?
Speaker 9: Looking for you?
Speaker 2: Apparently?
Speaker 9: What I was here to see if I could track
Speaker 9: down some legend trippers. But you're the person I need

Speaker 3: You are not celested, but you know me. You've studied
Speaker 3: me dover demon Oh.
Speaker 2: Such an unpleasant name.
Speaker 4: I don't know why people think I'm demonic, but you
Speaker 4: your voice?
Speaker 3: Who? The voice is just a means to an end.
Speaker 9: This body just a vessel.
Speaker 3: Who am I talking to?
Speaker 4: Then? I think you know you're you're part of the
Speaker 4: paye realm.
Speaker 3: You said you wanted to talk when you spoke with
Speaker 3: her voice before. What were you trying to do?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 7: That was just a trick, a little bit of theater.
Speaker 3: Theater.
Speaker 11: This body can't do much on its own, so I
Speaker 11: had to get it some phrases to say some words
Speaker 11: that I thought might spark an interest.
Speaker 3: Why to get your attention, coursese? Oh, trust me, you
Speaker 3: have it.
Speaker 14: I'm very glad to hear.
Speaker 5: What is happening, Paul?
Speaker 14: Come on, Jeremy, does this really come as that much
Speaker 14: of a shock? Run along now you've done your bit.
Speaker 14: That thing's useless, honestly, like having a pet rock with legs.
Speaker 14: But it did freak people out when it got loose
Speaker 14: all those decades ago. So every now and then it's
Speaker 14: fun to pop it back over and hallou mischief.
Speaker 3: You wait, you.
Speaker 14: You know we never did do the proper name exchange,
Speaker 14: did we, Well? I knew your name, which you never
Speaker 14: did think was strange, by the way, despite never giving
Speaker 14: it to me. Well, you did give it to me
Speaker 14: forty years ago, but it didn't seem like you were
Speaker 14: and yet you never questioned it. I guess my ability
Speaker 14: to buy which humans without so much as a twitch
Speaker 14: of my finger hasn't weakened over the years, at least for.
Speaker 8: Some Hi, this.
Speaker 3: Isn't happening.
Speaker 12: Who are you right?
Speaker 14: Sorry, Manners. I have many names, some of which I'm
Speaker 14: sure you've heard of, and others that are still hidden
Speaker 14: to your world. For simplicity's sake, you can call me Francine,
Speaker 14: and you're the one in charge here.
Speaker 8: Queen up the thing.
Speaker 14: No need to Curtsey.
Speaker 8: Why are you doing this?
Speaker 14: We have a deal, remember.
Speaker 4: No, No, I mean, why are you showing yourself to me?
Speaker 8: It's not.
Speaker 3: On everything I've read. I'm gonna guess that it's not
Speaker 3: something you do very often. There's that cool professor.
Speaker 14: No, you're right. I normally keep to myself. Let the
Speaker 14: rituals happen, let the deal follow its natural path. And
Speaker 14: there have been a few bumps through the years, of course,
Speaker 14: but those just serve to keep me entertained.
Speaker 4: And it wasn't enough to watch your monsters come through
Speaker 4: and attack until people.
Speaker 14: I never sent anything through with the intent to harm. Well, no,
Speaker 14: that's not entirely true. Those birds were on me. I
Speaker 14: knew that would happen. I just thought it might spice
Speaker 14: things up. So this whole time, yeah, yep, this whole time.
Speaker 14: The person you met, the legend Tripper, she never really existed,
Speaker 14: well not for a few decades anyway.
Speaker 2: Not here.
Speaker 14: Do you know what a changeling is?
Speaker 4: Of course, it's a fairy that's left in the place
Speaker 4: of a stolen human child.
Speaker 2: Ta dah.
Speaker 14: I don't always love being in this kind of body,
Speaker 14: but I just thought it might be easier to talk
Speaker 14: with a human face to talk. That's why you're here,
Speaker 14: isn't it.
Speaker 12: But but you've we met a week ago, and we've
Speaker 12: been I mean, we were. I don't understand why would
Speaker 12: you do all of this? What is it that you want?
Speaker 13: I want to help Jeremy, because you're special, So I
Speaker 13: want to offer you a choice.
