WEBVTT - Chapter 7 | Mystery Hunter

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>School of Humans.

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 2>This podcast is based on the true story of explorer, inventor, visionary,

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 2>and science pioneer Tom Slick. Some of the story elements, names,

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and characters have been altered for dramatic purposes. Consider using

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>headphones to enhance your listening experience. We've created an immersive

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 2>soundscape to tell our story.

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 3>Sure used, Dan Fidils, don't see how many testing testing

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 3>one too?

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 4>Damn it.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 3>We have over three hundred guests coming through those doors

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 3>in an hour. They're expecting entertainment. Not to go deaf.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Miss Slick, you're early. We're still prepping in her office.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 3>Those go over there.

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I'll take you.

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, you look busy. I'll find her.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Just Tommy favor. Pretend you didn't see any of this.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Tonight will be a celebration of your father's legacy, not

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 3>a ship show. What the accent are those new cheers?

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Do?

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you.

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 6>Live? It's me?

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:48.559
<v Speaker 7>Come in, Shut the door behind you and lock it.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Is this an interrogation?

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 7>You've had years to tell me who my grandfather really

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 7>was and you didn't. I didn't know.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I'd heard some of the story worries on

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>those tapes growing up but live. I don't really know him.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I was nine when he died.

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 7>And what about the Yettie hand that Bud says, you

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 7>have this? Oh my god, that's it.

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the hand, it's heinous. That's why it's in the tupperware.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to touch it or free to touch me.

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 5>Here was it?

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>When Dad passed, his assets were divided. I got a

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>key with mine that opened a safety deposit box, and there.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 7>Was I've never seen anything like this.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Can I sure touch away at your own risk?

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 7>Why haven't you shared this with the institute. We could

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 7>like quintests and find out what this.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Story of the Yetti hunt was killed. After Dad died,

0:02:58.280 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>no one talked about it.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 7>I wonder why the institute's.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>President at the time thought a leader in science hunting

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a fairy tale would degrade the reputation of this place,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>which is probably why I never got Bud's takes. They

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>were buried with all the evidence of Dad's hunt.

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, Bud said, you have proof.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>This was also in safety deposit box.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 7>It's the only tape that's labeled proof.

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was to the point.

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 7>So whatever's on here is proof of the Yeddies' existence.

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I haven't listened to it. Why I

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't care if he've had it, if he didn't. I

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to believe like he did.

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, there's a yetty hand here, so he found something.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm ready for him to tell me that.

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 5>Tom Slick, April third, nineteen fifty eight. It's three am.

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 5>I can't sleep. I haven't been able to since I

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 5>parted ways with Bud in that appendage. I'm still in

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 5>India planning a solo trek through the Himalayas, which all

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 5>set out on after the Eddie exhibit opens in London

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 5>on Saturday. I did it. I got ample proof that

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 5>the Eddi exists. The hand hadn't been thoroughly tested by

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 5>scientists yet, and it may have been devious how we

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 5>laid claim to it. But think of the science and

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 5>the magnitude of this discovery. Now I'm no man's junior.

0:04:54.720 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm about to change the world. I can't sleep. Why

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:15.239
<v Speaker 5>can't I sleep? Dullas, come in? I know you're there, Tommy.

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 6>Is how this works?

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 5>When have you ever followed protocol? See Crackodle?

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 6>What do you want?

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 5>It's simple payback.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 7>Revenge?

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 5>Okay, let me get some coffee.

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 8>First chapter seven. This is the mostly true tale of

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.239
<v Speaker 8>Tom Slick, mystery hunter.

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 6>All right, Lucky Cob, you did it.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>You got your damn Yetti.

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 5>No I didn't. I stole it. Oh okay, well Bud

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 5>did that.

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Don't follow.

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.679
<v Speaker 5>Bud and I parted ways. After securing Lama X in India.

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 5>Bud returned to the mountain, no tent or food so

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 5>he could move with stealth.

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Did he hunt the bastard down without you?

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Not?

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 5>Technically?

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 5>You see, the Yetti exhibit was set to open in

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 5>London in a month, and you know I needed something

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 5>besides photos and tapes of a failed expedition. So Bud

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 5>returned to the Pongochet Temple, where he first saw evidence

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 5>of the Yettis existence. During that first visit, he stole

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 5>a photo. During this one, he stole a whole YETI hand,

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 5>replacing it with a not very convincing stand in.

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 8>Ah, that thing's buried, he's gonna know.

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>And you're not just praying to it.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 5>You're using that hand to expose real information.

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the American way.

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 5>Well it's problematic, yes, it is patriotic. Indeed, I didn't

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 5>say that. Look Dulles. The point is in spending time

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 5>with Lama X, I learned all I need to know

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 5>about the YETI is he gonna thank me for that intro?

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 5>The only thing we should do to that creature is protected.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 6>Oh okay, I'm only obligated to protect my country and

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 6>those who ate in a betass.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, turns out I have hours of recorded tapes that

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 5>could upend.

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 6>All of that.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Is there a threat, Tommy? If you don't meet me

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 5>in London in twelve hours, you'll find out?

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 4>Live? Can't?

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to touch it.

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 7>Just put it in your bag? Live? Why is this lot?

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Mom?

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 5>Put it in your purse?

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Fine?

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Stick it to my dawn purse, unless do you want

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it for the exhibit?

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 3>I really there's no time for this. Oh hi, Governor Nielsen,

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 3>you're here.

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, okay, I'll take it.

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Finally, Governor Claire, it's so lovely of you to come

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to this little for dad.

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 6>Little I heard there might be some reveals about the

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 6>mysterious Tom Slick. As a kid, always thought your father

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 6>lived a double life, Claire. Remember when we had those

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 6>sleepovers at your house? Sure, and your dad he tell

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 6>us these wild tales about mysteries the world and never

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 6>known holy men who could levi at tape a tunnel

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 6>on the Amazon line with diamonds, the abominable Snowman that

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 6>he said roam the roof of the world. He told

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 6>those tales like he lived them, So I guess I

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 6>thought he always had.

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 3>I think you're really going to enjoy the event tonight, Governor,

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 3>isn't he live?

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's why I'm early. I can't stay for the

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 6>whole thing. But Claire, I wanted a word of course.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Let's go sit in there to see of empty chairs.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that will be filled to capacity in thirty minutes.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I love love the dress, but that bold red lip.

0:09:52.559 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 3>It's giving more nightclub less academia. But you know, choices.

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 7>Okay, thirty minutes. M there's time.

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 5>The helicopter Dallas, I asked for inconspicuous.

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all those were fucked. It's like you want me

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 3>to fail.

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Hell, you did threaten me.

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, at least we didn't land on top of the museum.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Here's our backup.

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>You know you landed on top of the museum, right.

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 5>Ah, fucker again trying to make me fail, Larry, We're

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 5>gonna jump out circle the city, drop down on another

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 5>roof or two. If anyone's tracking, they'll think you're confused.

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll find a way home.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 7>I'll be that.

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You're rusty Dallas.

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 7>The fancy title of yours just another name for bencil bushy.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 6>Fuck off, god, fucking this?

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Come on? The man is back together again?

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 7>Why the hell are you wasting my time on this job?

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 6>Slick?

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 5>Remember that YETI.

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 7>I was after it's all you talked about.

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 5>How can I forget there's a piece of it here

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 5>in the museum and we have to steal it without

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 5>anyone knowing.

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Also, that's a solo job. I could have done that already.

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, there's an entire exhibit.

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 7>I'm a government employee.

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Slick, who answers to me?

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 6>And you think your.

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Boss in the White House would approve this?

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's called covert for a reason.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 5>Like I was saying, I'm a government employee, and unlike

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 5>dulls here, I'm pay like one. Yes, but you have

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 5>a picasto, right yeah?

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 7>Throw that in us a tip and I'll sweep up

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 7>after we clean the place out.

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 5>The picasso is going to my daughter. What about a

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 5>Georgia O'Keefe.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.599
<v Speaker 2>They're beautiful, lest In.

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 5>When no alarm, you think they'd at least have a

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 5>trip wire or.

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 7>It is Oh duless. The boxer shut this off is

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 7>probably up front with security.

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, I got syringes at the ready.

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 7>Dude, you know you can just knock someone out and

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 7>tie them up right.

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 8>Or put a gun to the head.

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, damn it, Come on, bod again with the gun.

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing here, Slick?

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>We missed you too much.

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 5>I knew you liked me, Jeth, This is government business,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 5>Bud step aside. Okay, Champ, you know why.

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>The head of this joint asked me to replace his

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>security tonight.

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 9>He knew if anyone touched that YETI, Paul, I'd shoot.

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 5>To kill bullshit.

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 3>Wha damn it.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 8>But you gotta killed me. Hell I warned you.

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 9>I'm not fooling around.

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 5>I gathered that when you fired off a gun in

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 5>a museum. But listen to me. I'm the one who

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.319
<v Speaker 5>asked you to steal that YETI hand, but this isn't

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 5>what you want.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 3>It was what we wanted. It's a fake bullshit.

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Look, when doctor Hill ran those tests, I asked

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 5>him send the labs to my institute, and I just

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 5>got a call from Mabel saying the test came back

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 5>that yetti hand. It's not some undiscovered species. Look, po,

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 5>if the digits on this hand are primate, this thumb's human.

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 8>Really you're wired together, then I see.

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Slick grab the gun.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 5>Got it?

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Ah, Jesus, Christy, Tony, you're gonna discociate.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 5>My arm means I like you.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Jesus. It's filling up.

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 7>That's what you wanted, right, Yeah?

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Are you ready?

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 7>Oh I've never heard a speak in front of this

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 7>many people before.

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, pretend they're not there. Just just look at me.

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 7>God, that's even scarier.

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I am an amazing cheerleader.

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but you don't hide your emotion. So if I

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 7>mess up, I'm gonna look at you, and I'm gonna know.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Think about it this way.

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 2>These people aren't here for you.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 3>They're here for your granddad, m and the YETI we're

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 3>just gonna say you found it right. No, but the

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 3>tape where but smuggles the yetti handed to the UK.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 3>It's it's proved.

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 7>We don't know that yet, and it's just I think

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 7>there's something better on this last tape.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Shit the governor is leaving already. Okay, I gotta go.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Just remember your speech needs to be a draw for

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 3>the donors. Science isn't sexy but a yetti.

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 8>That's all fetish.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 9>Okay, m Monday podmeyum m money pod maum um money

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 9>pod maum.

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 5>Is this working? I can't tell. I don't feel any different.

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 5>Tom Slick, June fifth, nineteen fifty eight. I'm conducting a

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 5>scientific study out here in the Himalayas, one I had

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 5>to do alone. So I put Bud on another investigation,

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 5>one closer to home. He's recording eyewitness accounts a bigfoot

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 5>in northern California. Took his mind off that yety hand,

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 5>which has disappeared as far as anyone who knows about

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 5>it is concerned. Exposure to that hand it would have

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 5>opened up these mountains to a whole new generation of

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 5>poachers set on hunting a creature. I've come to see

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:04.560
<v Speaker 5>his other world. So I'm back at Kampaloom Cave, a

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 5>cave only true believers can see. Those who not only

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 5>believe the yetty exists, but also and where it's found,

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 5>a place known as gyang Gonge. Some call it the

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 5>Lost Horizon others Shangri law, but all know that Giyang

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 5>gongj is not a physical place. It's a higher dimension

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 5>one can harness through their optimization of energy. But I've

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 5>been sitting here for the past seven hours doing exactly

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 5>what Lama X instructed, and I think I missed the point.

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 5>But for once, I don't care. I'm on a mountain

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 5>night trek for months on a hunt for validation, but

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 5>that dogged drive blinded me. Good God, this place is

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 5>magnificent and so still.

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 4>H oh my god, oh ah.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 9>There it is.

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 5>That's Stitch.

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's you.

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Mm hmm.

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, I dropped it with my recorder.

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 4>It's gone.

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 5>It's just me and you, and you're magnificent.

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Blair asked me to come get you. They're kicking

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>out some screaming toddler.

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 7>He found it. Mom found what granddad found the yetti

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 7>this tape.

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 6>It is proof.

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.880
<v Speaker 1>If he found anything, you think he would have told

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the Institute or Bud Jemmy Stewart.

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 7>So he did. He told you this is your tape.

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>What does that even mean?

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 7>It means you get to decide if we tell the

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 7>real story of Tom Slick and his Yetti hunt. Hi,

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 7>thank you all for coming. I'm Live Slick, granddaughter of

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 7>Tom Slick Junior. And right down there is Claire Slick,

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 7>his daughter, my mom.

0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Hi.

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 7>I don't know how to sum up a scientific legend.

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 7>Like my grandfather, he was complicated, but his life's mission

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 7>was simple, to implement the machinery of science toward the

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 7>advancement of humanity.

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 2>But not all of.

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 7>His scientific pursuits were done in a lab coat. How

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 7>many of you are here because you want to learn

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:35.239
<v Speaker 7>more about his Yetti expedition. But what you don't know

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 7>is that Tom Slick navigated the wilds of the Amazon

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 7>in search of a diamond pipeline in India. He studied

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 7>mind control with monks. South American Shamans taught him secrets

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:54.199
<v Speaker 7>of their herbal medicines and cures. He was an inventor

0:19:54.560 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 7>who created his own brand of cattle. He patented a

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.400
<v Speaker 7>new method of construction he called the lift slab oh,

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 7>and he helped put infamous bank robber machine gun Kelly

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 7>behind bars. And those are all just footnotes to chapters

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 7>of a life of Tom Slick on exhibit now at

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 7>the Institute. And yes, there was an expedition to the Himalayas,

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 7>but not a lot is known about what was discovered

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 7>on that mission. And these rumors that there were tapes,

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 7>well those are as big of a myth as the Yetti.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:41.959
<v Speaker 7>What I do know is that my grandfather hunted mysteries,

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 7>and he knew that some of the greatest mysteries are

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:59.359
<v Speaker 7>best left unsolved.

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Live.

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 7>Sorry, I couldn't do it.

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I just your mom didn't tell you.

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 7>Tell me what?

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 3>We didn't need the Yetti hook? What the governor allotted

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 3>an annual budget for the institute. We're good for the

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 3>next decade.

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Holy shit.

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Holy something. It's a miracle.

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 7>Yay Wow, huh. I just got a voicemail, but my

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 7>phone didn't bring it.

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 3>Could be the governor. You should call him back while

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 3>I celebrate our win for science by drinking my body

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 3>weight in prosecco.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 7>Hey, can you get my mom in here?

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Before or after I ravaged that tray of pigs in

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 3>a blanket? Come in, little piggies.

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 7>That's why didn't it ring live?

0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:02.960
<v Speaker 5>What you know who this is by now? Oh my god,

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 5>But I guess you never thought I'd be speaking directly

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 5>to you, seeing as I eclipsed the human realm before

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 5>you were born. Jesus, that sounded insane, but believe me,

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 5>my communicating with you from the other side is anything.

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 5>But it's possible because of science, the dash of mysticism.

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:29.199
<v Speaker 5>At first, all I could do was leave you a

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 5>box of tapes in the attic that I recorded while

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 5>I was living, and yeah, it was a life worth documenting.

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 5>But now I'm gonna share some profound discoveries I've made

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 5>from this other plane of existence. You know it. I

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 5>reached Gyang Gunch in that final tape your mother shared

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 5>with you, the one where I made contact with the

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 5>YETI I can show you how to find it, but

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 5>you gotta believe, not just that this tape is real

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 5>and that Giang Gunge exists, but you have to believe

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 5>that anything is possible. Oh, and there's some meditation cheese stuff.

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 5>I'll walk you through. I know what you're thinking, What

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 5>does any of this mean? Is this voicemail reel? Is

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:19.479
<v Speaker 5>the man speaking to me really my grandfather? The crux

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 5>of that lies in a simple question. Does believing in

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 5>something make it real? I think it does.

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 8>Do you live?

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Ah?

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 5>Whow live?

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 4>Mom?
