WEBVTT - Chapter 13: Bells & Rings 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:03.800 Bridgewater is a production of I Heart Radio three D 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.920 audio and Grim and Mild from Aaron Mankey for a 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:17.240 full exposure, listen with headphones. Listener discretion advised. Who's that? Uh? 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.720 Dr Edwards? Vet over and Rehobeth. Why is a vet 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.280 calling you? There's been an attack? What kind of attack? 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.080 Farmer over there? He's got a dozen or so cows 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.960 on his property and woke up this morning to find 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:35.280 them all eviscerated, just like the last time. You don't 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.600 have any pets, I mean, you've never had any pets. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.680 Why is this guy calling you? Dr Edwards? He's still alive. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.559 I was like, no, no, no, it's his son. He 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.599 took over his practice a while ago. I told him 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.080 to call me if he ever saw anything strange. And 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.599 he saw something strange, we should probably head over there 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.280 Oakley Farms, he said, so Vipping Olivia, you two should 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.279 stay here. Get yourself cleaned up. Now, hold on, both 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.440 of you look like you've been through the ring. No ship. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.800 We were attacked by a giant dog three hours ago. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.520 And I just found out I have a grandfather who 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.360 suddenly back from the dead. So I think I look 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.480 pretty good considering back up giant dog. That's what we 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.120 were trying to tell you before when we were attacked, 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.920 leaving the words it it attacked us, Jeremy, it was. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.240 It was real. Yeah, I swear it was real. I 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:31.640 believe you. I'm sorry I didn't before I get it. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.640 I barely believe it now myself. I wonder. I wonder 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.360 if the dog is wount attack the cows and the 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.720 horses from last year. Last year, I don't remember finding 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.200 anything about animal attacks from last year. He means nine. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.200 That's gonna take some getting used to. Yeah, well we 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.400 all have to just so. Yeah, how are we supposed 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.360 to do that? Nana? You've had what at forty years, 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.640 forty years during what you could have told any of 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.160 us the truth? You know what? Just don't Okay, I'm 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.000 gonna go home and try to forget that monsters are 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.760 real apparently, and then everything I thought I knew about 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:10.079 my family is wrong. Olivia, Please, just shit. I need 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.520 to deal with this, of course, but we need to 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.920 go to Oakley Farms, see what happened before, the evidence 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.200 the case more. Who cares, it's it's just a couple 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.760 of cows. It's hardly more important than this. It's just 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.360 a couple of cows for now. If it's the same 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.800 dog that attacked us in Freetown, it already made its 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.280 way through Rehobeth. Who knows where it could be by now? 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.600 It could do a lot of damage very quickly. Are 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.119 we never going to get a fucking break? I think 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.720 we should go check it out. If it's really the 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.560 same dog. We know it doesn't just attack other animals, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.480 and if it's not, then you've got more than one 0:02:43.560 --> 0:03:28.000 monster on our hands. Hey, there, your live. I'm going 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.240 to leave in a second, Okay, I just I needed 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.040 to catch my breath or something. I'm already fucking exhausted, 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.040 and I really don't want to crash my car. Why 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.760 don't you come inside? And is it really him? Is 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:46.000 it really him? Is that man really Thomas Bradshot? It's him? How? 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.320 How well we're still trying to figure that out? He 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.200 was trapped in some kind of in between place, in 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.240 between what this world and another one? Oh? Come on, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.080 I'm serious. Live You know when Vippen and I were 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.080 driving over here, I kept talking about how all the 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.720 stories you told me were real, that I couldn't believe it, 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.800 and you were never lying to me. With any of 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.640 that stuff. I never had any solid proof until now, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.360 just a feeling. But you were always honest with me 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.800 about that feeling, about about there being something dangerous out there. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.120 I wanted to keep you safe. Then why lie about him? 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.919 I didn't If you knew he was still alive, I didn't. 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.320 I swear I didn't, but I hoped. But that's all 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.520 it ever was until yesterday. You knew he was my grandfather. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.120 I mean, unless, of course, you had a very active 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:45.279 dating life in nineteen I'm assuming you knew. I knew, 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.640 I knew we were. We were together for over a 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.480 year by the time I found out I was pregnant Nanna. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:05:00.960 Wasn't he married? Yeah, he was, but it had been 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.120 rocky for a while. And when we found out about 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.479 the baby, he told his wife and they were getting 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.440 divorced and we were going to be a family, and 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.480 then he went missing. So so what you decided just 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.840 to act like he never existed, Like like mom just 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.800 came out of nowhere, and he always told her and 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.479 to ask that he was dead. I thought he was. 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.680 I thought he was, But why keep his identity a secret. 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.640 He wasn't just some guy, he was someone you loved 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:44.760 someone who had a son. That's why. That's why, Olivia 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.760 Jeremy is why I kept it a secret. It was 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:55.480 a big case Thomas go and missing, a huge local 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.960 news story. They talked about it for months and months, 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.040 and the circumstances around it brought all kinds of folks 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.680 from around the country to report on it or do 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.640 their amateur investigations, and well it, uh, you know, it 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:16.080 put a lot of attention on the Bradshaws, and you know, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:22.920 the wife and son who got left behind. And I 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.360 I couldn't. I couldn't let Thomas's name get dragged through 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.760 the mud. And I couldn't bring that chaos into your 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:36.520 mom's life when she was just a baby. So I 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.680 just told everybody was an old flame in Boston who 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:44.479 I had reconnected with, and if I had honest about it, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.240 it would have become part of the story and we 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.960 would have had to leave Bridgewater entirely and find any 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:56.400 kind of peace, and and you'd never leave, right, not 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:03.479 until you found out what really happened. Yeah, So, so 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:08.120 what did really happen? He just got like Captain America 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.360 Frozen in Time? Who's that? God? Nancy? A movie for once? 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:18.880 In your life. I mean he looks like he's thirty. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.920 a time it passed differently wherever he was. And the 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:28.680 truth is, we don't really understand that place yet. But 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.840 Celeste and the gathering they had a better idea, some 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.960 kind of doorway or like a pass through to the 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.240 other side. And then the children of Titchuba wanted to 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.720 open it, but Celeste and her people they were trying 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.400 to keep it closed, keep it closed, and and and 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.200 and trapped Thomas. No, no, no, I think Celeste was 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.880 trying to get him out and close whatever gate he 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.240 had come through. We think that dog came in the 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.800 same way. Okay, so okay, okay, okay, let me get 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:01.600 with the street. You're old boyfriend was pushed into a 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.239 paranormal waiting room for some other side by a bunch 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.240 of goth babies and and then pulled out of that 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.840 place with a giant black dog that might be going 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:16.120 around to vice rating cows. Pretty much though, based on 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.680 what happened to Vippen, the dog may have been here first. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:25.440 How why Because the veil is getting thinner. That's what's 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.720 a less said, which means I think it means whatever 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.840 wall has been protecting us from what's on the other 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:43.480 side might not be standing anymore. Are we sure this 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.720 is right? An said, the east edge of the property. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.280 It looks like the fence line is down in that field. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.840 Are you sure you're okay? I'm fine? I think. Are 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.120 you okay? Okay is the kind of relative term at 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:07.200 this particular juncture. So you said, Um, something like this 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.000 has happened before over at Shiner Farms. One side of 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.800 their property ran along Freetown forest and a few horses 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.319 were torn into I remember and telling me about that. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.840 It was seventy nine, you said, honestly, I'm not sure 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.960 it could have been this year. Uh, it was hot 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.480 when we went from the farm. I know that much August. Second, 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.440 how did you know? I think I remember reading that 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.120 file one of several animal mutilations that happened that summer 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.920 in fall. Jeremy, You've got yourself quite a partner here 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.600 that I do. Oh, we never actually got to the 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:49.040 introduction party. Hipp In Corona, Jeremy's t a. Thomas Bradshaw, 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:54.160 Jeremy's dad. Yeah, it's good to meet you. Hippin's been 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.000 helping me out with this book that I've been writing. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.959 And he is also an encyclopedia of we your Bridgewater 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.040 happening is you're writing a book? I yeah, he's me. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:09.160 Can I help you? Are you Dr Edwards? I am. 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.880 I'm a friend of Anne Becker's. She had to take 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.760 care of some other business, but she wanted me to come. Yes, yes, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.120 I see, Come on over, Come on over. Um, yep, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.280 just just hop right over. There's not a break in 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:29.600 the fence for another half mile. Okay, not bad for 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.920 an old man. Hopped a lot of fences in my day. Yeah, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:39.440 that part of your job, the stories for another time ship. 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:45.600 Are you okay? Yep, I'm fine. What did you say 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.559 your name was? I'm Jeremy Bradshaw. This is my assistant 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:56.079 fipp In, and this is my friend Tom and really 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:02.560 sent the cavalry. Uh well, she said, things sounded pretty serious. Yeah, well, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.040 you know, take a look yourself. Randall came out this 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:11.920 morning to check in his stock and found this. Oh god, 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.920 oh my god, Jesus, God, Jesus. Do you think the 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.840 smell is bad? Now? I gotta figure out how to 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.840 get these guys out of here before the noon sun hits, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.080 or things are gonna get really ugly. Do you know 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.920 when this happened. Based on the level of rigor mortis, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.320 I would guess six or so hours ago. But that 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.200 would mean are you sure it wasn't more recently, maybe 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.040 in the last hour or two. That's pretty unlikely. Um, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.800 definitely would have to be at least four hours ago. Why. Um, 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.800 we heard about another potential attack last night a little 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.600 after that and thought maybe maybe it was the same animal. Oh, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.079 did you get a look at what it was? No shame. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.840 I'd really like to know what could have done this. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:12:00.400 What exactly is the nature of the wounds? Well? Um, yeah, 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.800 come over here. Uh, it seems the first and fatal 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.160 injury happened here along the neck. That normally when a 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.680 predator attacks like that, we'd see teeth marks all around 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.000 the animal biting down on its praise throat. And do 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.000 you think that there's something out there without a job 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:22.480 big enough to get around a cow's neck. No, See, 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.440 that's what's strange. This laceration isn't from teeth, so look 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:31.080 at it. It's clean and long, almost decapitation, which makes 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.600 me think, Okay, it's a person, some sort of sicko 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.520 who's going around trying to chop the heads off of cows. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.840 A person did this. No, again, there's this big cut here, 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.560 but then if you look closely, there's four more lines 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.280 running alongside it, one cut on one side of the 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.720 main laceration and three on the other. So I thought 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.080 maybe somebody has a very sharp, very uneven pitchfork or 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.800 some kind of I don't know, penteddont but you know 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.720 that feels unlikely, especially when you consider the to the corpses. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:05.200 Yeah and um and mentioned evisceration. Yep, and you're looking 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.880 at it now, so you know. I've seen a lot 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.760 of this kind of stuff in my day, wolves getting 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.240 a dog's or house cats. Hell, even foxes can do 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:17.679 a number and a rabbit. But this this is something else. 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:23.480 Are those ribs uh huh? Cracked like a walnut? This 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.360 is where we do see some teeth marks. Something bit 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.680 into the torsoes of the cows and had themselves quite 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:33.280 the midnight snack. It ate the ribs. No, I don't 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.680 think that was the goal, but it broke the rib 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.959 cage to get to the heart and lungs. You see 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.280 eating all the way to the trick. You right, The 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.640 lugs are just gone and the hearts took a big 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.520 chunk out of two of them. The other two are 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:51.880 completely gone. So what does any of this mean? Well, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.760 if I was going by the evidence alone, I'd say 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.480 some kind of predator with five claws sharp enough to 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.640 make those cuts on the neck, strong jaw, with sharp canines, 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.600 and an appetite for bovine insides? Is there is there 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.640 any evidence of more teeth than you'd expect? How do 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.200 you mean? Well, if you have to guess what kind 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:18.640 of like teeth pattern you're looking at. Honestly, I did 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.200 a residency at the Maryland Zoo for a year, and 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.280 if it wasn't for the size of it, this would 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.840 look pretty similar to a chimpanzee's jaw, certainly comparable in strength. 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:32.160 Why what what? What? What were you expecting? Um? Doctor? 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.000 Do you mind? Would be okay? If I took some 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.000 photos so we can show Anne. Yeah, go for it, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.880 as long as you don't sell them to the paper 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.520 or anything. I know Randall won't mind. He just wants 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.840 to know what happened to his cows. Speaking of which 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.440 I should go up to the house and tell him 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.240 when I've got so far. Poor man couldn't stand a 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.240 look at them very long, Thank you for your time. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.080 Dr Edwards. Sure sure, I just called the office. If 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.600 you got any more questions or some answers of your own, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.080 I'll let you know if I'm able to find and 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:07.760 anything else. Thank you, Thank you, This very good of you. Um. Look, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.360 I don't know what interest Anne Becker has in livestock killings, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.320 but if this really is a person, I would certainly 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.520 feel better knowing someone's looking into it. If someone did this, 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.960 we'll find them. Are you a cop to I'm a 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.240 private investigator? And then I worked together a lot. Well, 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.440 take your time here. I'll be back after I talked 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.840 to Randall to clear the bodies out. How similar is 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.320 this to what happened to the horses? It's pretty similar. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.160 I don't remember all the specifics. It feels like it 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.600 was two months ago and also forty years ago. Yeah, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.960 but I won't forget what those horses look like anytime soon. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.520 I'm sorry, Dipen. What is that? Is that another one 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.160 of those phones you were telling me about, Jeremy, Oh boy? Um? Yeah, 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:59.520 it's a smartphone. You didn't have those smart phones? Yeah? 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.360 It can. It calls, but honestly, people don't want to 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.240 use them for that anymore. You can send messages, go online. 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.200 You can find someone to marry on photos. That little 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.960 thing is a camera. It has a camera, yep, and 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.880 it can take video to how Why did you ask 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.760 about the teeth? Oh? Um, the dog it had three 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:24.200 rows of teeth that we could see. At least we 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.800 were kind of in a hurry. Maybe you should go home, 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.800 vipp and you have had a long night. No, I 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.160 want to be helpful. You are, you are. It doesn't 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.520 mean you can't take care of yourself. Okay, you're one 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.640 to talk. Hey, I'm fine. If anything, this is is 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.400 the most normal thing that I've done in days. I'm 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.000 just researching this are happening in the Bridgewater Triangle. I 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.240 mean sure in this instance, it's not a stoner who 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.440 thought that they were abducted by aliens or someone driving 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.200 down the road late at night convinced that they saw 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.720 a ghost. It's a little tiny bit more substantial than that. Hey, hey, Jeremy, 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.080 it's looking at a bunch of cows who have had 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:02.280 their lungs eaten by something apparently with huge claws and 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.159 a jaw strong enough to bite through bone. And I 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.159 am here sidebar with my dad who was dead until 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.720 twelve hours ago, and he's not looking at a cell 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.920 phone like it's a fucking flying car, which I guess 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.240 it sort of is. There aren't flying cars, are there? No? Sorry, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.520 Welcome to the shittier version of the future where we 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.040 have climate change and no flying cars. But apparently we 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:28.840 have lung eating monsters. But but but silver lining. You 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.560 can carry a computer in your pocket, so it's not 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.840 all bad. Oh, you know, maybe we should all go home. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.800 Oh no, no, no, no, no no. We have to 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.800 investigate a monster attack, Vippen, because that's what we do now. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:46.000 We are bovine murder detectives. Wait, the cows, what about them? Not? No, 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.199 not these ones, the ones in nineteen forty What what 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.000 do you mean the cows in nineteen four Alden told 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.000 me a few weeks before he got lost, his neighbor's 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.160 cows got torn apart. He was just a kid, of course, 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.200 so it's not like he saw them, but it was 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.879 a big deal in the brohood. I'd forgotten about that. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.879 It feels like he told me so long ago. Who 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.160 is a boy who was trapped in the in between 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.720 space with my dad? What he's still trapped Jeremy with 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.000 god knows what kind of monsters roaming around and there 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.880 with him. I thought you said you never actually saw 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.160 anything in there, just shadow. But now he's in there 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.840 alone with Celeste dead. I don't know what could happen. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.359 We'll figure it out. But what if we're already running 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.760 out of time. We're looking at two potential monsters now, 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.760 and it's only been eight or so hours since the 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.480 veil opened and I came out. What if he's already dead? 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.000 We have no reason to believe that. Look, maybe Vippen 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.960 is right. Maybe we're all of it. You just got back. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.960 You should be resting arrest when we have a plan 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:52.760 to get Alden. Dad, Dad, Dad? Are you okay? So 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.600 I'm fine, I'm fine. Come on, let's get away from 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.520 the smell. It's clearly not I can handle some dead animals. 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:04.560 I'm not new to this. Ah, I just haven't had 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:10.800 anything to eat in forty years. Parogies may have been ambusious. Guys, 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.199 someone's coming. Ship. It's Haddock, Haddock, Officer Haddock, Captain Haddock. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:19.160 Now good for him. We should get out. Ship ship 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:23.360 ship ship okay, uh, Dad, you need to get out 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.320 of here. I told you, I'm fine, you might recognize you, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.680 but hey, they haven't take my car. Get get back 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.879 to Anne's. I'll meet you there. Dad. We cannot explain this, 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:52.080 not right now, Pip. I'll take care of him. I 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.720 really appreciate you staying to help Outlive. I don't know 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:57.840 what's happening nowhere. Any of this is going to lead. 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.119 But this kid that Amas was with, he seems to 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.400 be really important to him. Well, I found him, you did. 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.120 It wasn't that hard. Honestly, there are only so many 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.399 missing kids stories from nineteen and obviously it was a 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.800 pretty big deal. So what does it say? All then, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.520 age seven goes missing one day from his own backyard 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.160 and it is never found again. There's a town wide 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:22.880 search for him for weeks but nothing. Christ Yeah, well 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.760 we found Ethan Olivia. He's okay, Yeah, yeah, I know. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.600 I'm just I'm happy he's getting out of here. He is. 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.560 Dad's taking him to his parents. It's just for a 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.520 little while. That's good. It's good. Part of me feels 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:41.000 like I should go with them. Maybe you No, No, 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.440 I am in this now, and and someone has to 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.560 stick around to tell mom about all of this. Live. 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.000 You can't get what tell my mom that her dad 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.119 is alively. I'm not keeping this from her, especially not 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.240 when she when any of us could still be in danger. 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:00.719 Ethan safe. That doesn't mean whatever tried to take him 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.960 isn't going to try and take someone else. Your mom 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.159 is not going to get taken. How do you know 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.879 there's clearly a pattern here, I'm looking at it. You 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.280 think that's what happened aldn Sure seems like it. And 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.640 Alden wasn't even in the woods, so this could happen 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:18.879 to anyone. Was his house near Freetown or Ham? He 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:22.399 lived in Rehobeth. There's probably woods there, I guess, and 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.000 probably even more in the forties, but nothing to the 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.440 extent of Freetown. And he just vanished from his backyard, 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.000 no evidence left behind. I mean, the article isn't exactly 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.880 the same as a police report. But no, there weren't 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:39.159 any witnesses except his sister. She didn't see anything, but 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.080 she heard bells and when she went outside, her brother 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:47.560 was gone. How old was she? So she could have 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.399 been making this up? But why would she? And why bills? 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:56.359 There was a sound with the floating lights and home 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.880 from Dighton Rock, but I don't remember hearing any bell. 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.680 Maybe you couldn't, and maybe it's one of those things 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:10.120 only young people can hear. Well live. We will tell 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.200 your mom at some point, but this is all gonna 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:17.919 be so hard to explain that. Well, it's not going 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:20.800 to get any easier the more you wait. And I 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.200 can't keep this from her. I don't want to, So 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:29.920 you have to tell her, like extremely soon, or I will. Okay, 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:37.040 I understand. Wait, what what's wrong? I remember reading something 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.280 in Vippin's notebook last night. He's got notes upon notes 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:43.120 about every weird thing that's ever happened in Bridgewater and more. 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:47.240 And I think I remember something about bells. Well, what 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.560 was it? I don't know, but his notebook is still 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:59.960 in my car. Mr Bradshaw, I thought that was Captain 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.440 and Haddock. What are you doing here? I could ask 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:08.160 you the same thing. Dead cows are hardly urgent police business, 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:12.919 are they? Especially not for Captain Randall is the owner, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.359 and he's an old friend. He called me in a 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.760 panic this morning, worry that someone's trying to destroy his livelihood. 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:24.800 But it's an animal attack, now, I mean most likely, yeah, 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.600 it almost always is. But you know how it is 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:32.280 with favorites. Your friends. Yeah, sure, what about you? Are 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.399 you taking a class outside? Uh? No, no, no, I 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:39.720 just I thought it could be some interesting color for 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:43.120 a book that I'm working on about the area. Oh why, 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:47.600 I look forward to reading that. We're friends. Um, those 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:51.119 are just some colleagues who wanted to come along with 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:54.080 they had they had to run off to get to 0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:59.360 their classes, which I, uh should also be doing too. 0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:07.280 So okay, take care. It's weird stuff in it. Mm 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:14.600 hmm all of this, uh this animal mutilation business, it's weird. Yeah, 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:19.119 it's very strange. I'm surprised An Becker's not with you. 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.800 It seems right up her street. I guess she's focused 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.520 on other things. Yeah, I must be. I was glad 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.640 to hear her grandson have been released from the hospital. Yeah, 0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:42.000 me too. Be careful, Mr Bradshaw, excuse me. Becker likes 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.080 getting tangled up in all this weird stuff. It doesn't 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.200 mean you have to. It might not be good for 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:54.240 a person of your stature. Why are you telling me this. 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.359 I have seen a lot of good people fall under 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:04.760 her spell. H She has polluted the healthy skepticism of 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:16.120 more than one officer. Okay, ah, thank you for your concern. Anytime, Randall, 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:22.439 I'll be right there. So long, Mr Bradshaw, take care now, 0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:31.240 take care, Randall. Have a couple of questions, of course, 0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:45.680 still haven't charged it? Well, I guess I'm walking. We're 0:25:45.720 --> 0:26:01.480 almost there. Great. So is it weird being back? No? Yeah, yes, 0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:08.200 that's definitely one way to describe it. It's still feels 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:12.960 not quite real. I know what you mean. I mean no, obviously, 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.560 I don't. I can't imagine what you've been through, what 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.159 it's like to be lost for forty years and then 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:25.160 come back and everything is smartphones, you know. Yeah, it's 0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:28.920 good that you had company at least. Well, no, it's 0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.960 not good that a little boy is trapped in there, obviously, 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:37.520 But you know you weren't alone. That's true. I wasn't alone. 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:44.359 Do you have kids with me? No, I am twenty 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:46.560 five years old. That's the hr I was when I 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:52.120
