Speaker 1: Consumed is a production of iHeart Podcasts and grimm and
Speaker 1: Mild from Aaron Maky. Headphones recommended listener discretion advised.
Speaker 2: Sureff, if you could join second, Miss Simmons, Albert, did
Speaker 2: you check the cameras?
Speaker 3: What if I could? But they ain't been up since
Speaker 3: the power outage.
Speaker 4: You're telling me we haven't had video for two months.
Speaker 3: We have a sign in sheet, lovely, so.
Speaker 4: We can see if her detaining signed himself out.
Speaker 5: Sureff, if I could, just did he at least.
Speaker 2: Mention anything about where he might be headed? Just said
Speaker 2: he had to pay, as we've already established. Yes, thank you,
Speaker 2: pleece Sheriff.
Speaker 5: It's important.
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, Miss Simmons almost forgot you were there, despite
Speaker 2: the constant reminders. You need to take a look at
Speaker 2: what's on this phone your dead phone.
Speaker 5: Sure, I have an urt to sit in a way.
Speaker 2: It's not as if I have more pressing matters to
Speaker 2: attend to, something like, oh, I don't know a missing
Speaker 2: minor in.
Speaker 3: The finger fan of the diner boss the finger?
Speaker 4: How could I forget the finger?
Speaker 6: Thanks?
Speaker 5: Albert? Here to please, you were saying, Miss Simmons, you
Speaker 5: don't need to be rude about it.
Speaker 4: Why don't you take a note from mister Morale's and
Speaker 4: go wait patiently over there. I'm sure you wouldn't mind,
Speaker 4: seeing as you two are on such friendly terms already.
Speaker 5: See he's even waving. Just chill him that this is
Speaker 5: exactly what I need to talk to you. All right, Albert.
Speaker 4: Let's bring up Avery's records.
Speaker 2: There's got to be some clue about where he'd go
Speaker 2: to feel safe. And why don't you take a drive
Speaker 2: to the brooders, but do not go inside, and under
Speaker 2: no circumstances.
Speaker 4: Alert the parents.
Speaker 7: Trace the steps back there and see if you can
Speaker 7: find any signs of Avery.
Speaker 6: Planting space over here. I can scooch no need, or
Speaker 6: you can take the furtest possible seat. That works too.
Speaker 8: Oh and now that you're not seeing anything, is this
Speaker 8: because of the Star Trek thing, because hey, I am
Speaker 8: willing to put the work in I will watch.
Speaker 9: No, it's not about Star Trek, which you should watch regardless.
Speaker 10: This is about me not speaking to suspected murderers.
Speaker 6: Okay, Sarah, you're acting really weird.
Speaker 5: I'm acting weird me really.
Speaker 8: An hour ago we were completely fine. Then I step
Speaker 8: out of the shower and it's like you got left over.
Speaker 8: It gone, but moosh close on the floor.
Speaker 6: No explanation. Why do you think I came looking for
Speaker 6: you to the police station? I was worried? Mm hm okay, seriously,
Speaker 6: what's wrong?
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure we don't have a carbon monoxide league,
Speaker 8: so we can't be that ooh though I did take
Speaker 8: the batteries out to stop the be being so oh,
Speaker 8: don't tell me.
Speaker 6: Are you afraid of commitment?
Speaker 5: Yes, but that's not the point. This, this is what's wrong.
Speaker 6: A Nokia phone, Well, there's no shame in downgrading. Could
Speaker 6: be worse.
Speaker 5: It's Aaron's phone.
Speaker 6: Okay, so why do you have it?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: I don't have it.
Speaker 6: You have it. It's literally in your hand. I don't
Speaker 6: know what to tell you.
Speaker 5: I am not playing games here, Gordon.
Speaker 8: Yeah, not on a Nokia. You're not ooh unless wait,
Speaker 8: remember snake, I.
Speaker 9: Found this in your pull tuck behind that creepy little
Speaker 9: hidden compartment that you said was just a janitor's closet.
Speaker 5: It is apparently not more like a trophy case.
Speaker 6: Ah, I get it now, this is why you're being weird.
Speaker 9: Well that's a little reductive. I prefer the term survival instinct.
Speaker 8: So you think what that I killed Aaron and then
Speaker 8: kept a damny piece of evidence in the place where
Speaker 8: I both work and live.
Speaker 10: Will never said you were smart about it.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna lie, I'm a bit offended by that. Not
Speaker 8: that you think I'm a murderer, but do you think
Speaker 8: I'm a dumb murderer?
Speaker 5: I'm sorry? Is this funny to you?
Speaker 6: Maybe?
Speaker 8: I mean?
Speaker 6: No, not funny. No, I'm wrong. Answer, I'm serious? Face
Speaker 6: on him? Sorry?
Speaker 10: So, then, how do you explain Aaron's found being in
Speaker 10: your wall?
Speaker 6: I'm as curious as you are.
Speaker 5: Where is he? Where is my son? Missus Bruder?
Speaker 4: I can assure you we have everything under control.
Speaker 5: Do you really so you know where my son is?
Speaker 9: No, because then he'd be here behind those bars where
Speaker 9: I left him.
Speaker 4: I guess I don't need to ask where you came
Speaker 4: across this information.
Speaker 3: Sorry, boss, He's still her kid, right?
Speaker 4: Can I get you some water?
Speaker 6: Anything?
Speaker 5: You can tell me what you're doing to make sure
Speaker 5: that he's safe.
Speaker 2: If I may be frank with you, missus Bruder, it's
Speaker 2: not exactly every safety we're worried about.
Speaker 5: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: It means we have a potentially violent on the loose
Speaker 2: in a town that's already terrorized, and my duty is
Speaker 2: to its people. So we can't afford to be wasting
Speaker 2: valuable time arguing when we could be searching.
Speaker 5: If he'thn't violent, excuse.
Speaker 4: Me, He's never heard anyone, nor would he ever hurt anyone.
Speaker 5: I mean, he still looks away when he gets shot,
Speaker 5: can't stand the sight of blood.
Speaker 4: That's not what you told me before I lied. Wouldn't
Speaker 4: you would I impede.
Speaker 2: A police investigation into two active murders in the town
Speaker 2: where I and my neighbors live.
Speaker 4: No, missus Browder, I most certainly would not.
Speaker 5: He didn't kill that girl.
Speaker 9: He was trying to help her, wasn't he, Sarah, I
Speaker 9: don't think now is That's.
Speaker 5: What I've been trying to tell you. That's what was
Speaker 5: on her phone. Miss Simmons.
Speaker 2: Once again, your feedback, while unnecessary, is also are you
Speaker 2: recording this?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Unless I heard there isn't any law against that's it.
Speaker 2: Both of you out of my station and in case
Speaker 2: your mic to pick it up.
Speaker 4: That wasn't a request yep.
Speaker 6: Heading out on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do anything stupid, but waite if you would listen.
Speaker 6: Wow, that was quite the mama. Head move. I can't
Speaker 6: say I approve, but I respect the hustle.
Speaker 5: Really, or are you mad?
Speaker 10: Your little scapegoat isn't here to take the blame anymore?
Speaker 6: Oh so now I've framed Avery too.
Speaker 5: I don't know, did you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I gotta say I'm having a bit of a hard
Speaker 8: time keeping up with all these crimes I supposedly committed,
Speaker 8: especially when I barely know the evidence against me.
Speaker 9: Phone wall, secret compartment, and General's shadiness about said compartment.
Speaker 6: Do I at least get to explain myself. Isn't due
Speaker 6: process kind of a big part of the whole process.
Speaker 10: I'm not a court.
Speaker 6: You are the court of public opinion?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 6: Please? Sarah? Do you really think I could have done
Speaker 6: these things?
Speaker 5: Me?
Speaker 10: What else am I supposed to think?
Speaker 8: Okay, you said you wanted to show the share of
Speaker 8: what was on the phone, right, Well, I think I
Speaker 8: have a charger back of the library.
Speaker 6: We can get it back on and go from there.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, you may follow you back to the large
Speaker 9: building where no one will hear me scream.
Speaker 6: That's only if you scream from your throat, not from
Speaker 6: your diaphragm.
Speaker 5: Oh thanks for the tip. Also not helping come on.
Speaker 6: All I want is a chance to explain. Show me
Speaker 6: where you founded. Please.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I was last seen with you. Keep that
Speaker 5: in mind, So that's a yes. And I have a
Speaker 5: taser that's great, a.
Speaker 6: Painful one, I don't doubt it.
Speaker 9: Viprotech vts nine eight nine, three hundred million volts straight
Speaker 9: to the nervous system.
Speaker 6: How incredibly specific. I'll make sure to remember that while
Speaker 6: I'm incapacitated walk.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, you're going in front because you
Speaker 5: hate to.
Speaker 6: See me go, but you'll love to watch me leave.
Speaker 5: Nah, it's so I have a better aim.
Speaker 12: Hi, Kevin, thank you, Albert, you can go now right?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 6: Boss?
Speaker 10: Is this really necessary?
Speaker 2: You lied to the police and possibly falsified evidence, So yes,
Speaker 2: I believe it is.
Speaker 4: How much trouble am I in, Well, it depends on
Speaker 4: how honest you are.
Speaker 2: Starting now, you're making me wonder whether I need a
Speaker 2: lawyer or present for this. Of course, it's certainly your prerogative,
Speaker 2: and legally there's nothing I can do to stop you
Speaker 2: from requesting one. But then again, the more time we
Speaker 2: spend trying to contact the main office and requesting for
Speaker 2: them to assign someone, and then waiting for that lawyer
Speaker 2: to arrive. It's all time that could be better spent,
Speaker 2: don't you agree?
Speaker 5: And you put it that way?
Speaker 4: So the brazier, what about it?
Speaker 6: Was it or was it not?
Speaker 4: Aaron McDonald's. You don't have any kids.
Speaker 6: Do you?
Speaker 5: Maxine your point?
Speaker 9: Aaron stayed with us one week while her parents were
Speaker 9: out of town, left some things behind in our hamburn.
Speaker 5: That's all innocent.
Speaker 10: And young boys.
Speaker 5: Well, it's best to let them have their secrets, or
Speaker 5: better yet, to let them think.
Speaker 4: Their secret and the blood left over from lunch's pork chops.
Speaker 5: I'm sure that your tests.
Speaker 7: Will confirm it whenever or if ever.
Speaker 4: They come back. So if he's not guilty, then why
Speaker 4: did he run?
Speaker 12: He's a teenager.
Speaker 10: Why did they do anything?
Speaker 4: They're scared, insecure and hormonal?
Speaker 12: Take your pick.
Speaker 4: Do you have any idea where he might be headed?
Speaker 5: Aaron was his only friend.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine he's headed much of anywhere now, but
Speaker 2: hopefully home.
Speaker 4: Hopefully the tapes sometimes.
Speaker 5: There now can you go search for my son?
Speaker 4: Is there anything else you want to share with me?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 4: Why you'd go to such lengths to keep avery in ourselves?
Speaker 8: What makes you so sure?
Speaker 4: He'll be a victim. Grima, What aren't you telling me
Speaker 4: I'm a mother?
Speaker 5: Why do I have to be sure to protect him?
Speaker 6: Can't I be worried?
Speaker 4: Albert will see you out, vaccine find my son?
Speaker 10: Please?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 6: Is she gone?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Just sorrow off next time.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, boss, but you know how it is when
Speaker 3: you live so long with these folks. It's hard not
Speaker 3: to make things personal.
Speaker 6: But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: I trusted these people more the day I got here than.
Speaker 6: I do know.
Speaker 3: So what now?
Speaker 4: Well, I still have to deal with that damn severed finger.
Speaker 3: At least we know where buster is missing digit went.
Speaker 10: But not how it got there.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, you'll go look for every you.
Speaker 3: Think he'd be headed home, not with those parents.
Speaker 2: No, In fact, it's probably the last place he'll go.
Speaker 2: But you'll show up eventually, they all do.
Speaker 5: Oh Jesus fucking Christ, could that be any louder?
Speaker 6: You shall not blaspheme.
Speaker 10: Oh, shut up and keep walking.
Speaker 6: Should I hold my hands up to officer in case
Speaker 6: you want to have me down?
Speaker 5: Three hundred million vaults? Remember?
Speaker 6: Oh I do.
Speaker 13: Here?
Speaker 9: I was thinking I was in the Hallmark channel, but no,
Speaker 9: turns out it's a lifetime original.
Speaker 6: Yeah me, Oh, you think we're homework material.
Speaker 9: I think I'm insane for agreeing to this, and that's
Speaker 9: what they'll put on my gravestone.
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 8: The same creepy colonial church, durned library sounds that we've
Speaker 8: been hearing, except now fit through the perspective that you
Speaker 8: think I'm a depray murder?
Speaker 3: Could that be it?
Speaker 5: You know, I'm starting to not care whether you did
Speaker 5: it or not.
Speaker 9: Maybe I just want to try this baby out bt bist.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry?
Speaker 8: Was that supposed to be your three hundred million votes
Speaker 8: or outtakes from the B movie?
Speaker 6: I couldn't tell.
Speaker 11: Oh, give me a reason, Morales, Just give me a reason, Well,
Speaker 11: then open.
Speaker 6: It, no please or anything? Jeez?
Speaker 5: Now the code Hello Earth to Gordon?
Speaker 6: Huh what? Oh? All right, all right, just don't look.
Speaker 5: Why are you covering it? I already know the code?
Speaker 5: Ooh thief killer? Holy shit?
Speaker 8: Okay, Yeah, this cross space was definitely not here before.
Speaker 5: No, I mean it was not that big when I
Speaker 5: left it. That's freaky, that's it, freaky, I do it.
Speaker 9: You're not surprised. You knew what was there. You put
Speaker 9: it there yourself. You're the killer misresolved. I'll go pack
Speaker 9: my bags.
Speaker 8: Wait wait, wait, wait, what do you expect me to say?
Speaker 8: You already told me was there, and I believe you
Speaker 8: a courtesy. I only wish you could reciprocate.
Speaker 5: So if you didn't do this, then who why is
Speaker 5: it so much bigger? Now?
Speaker 8: Well let's see ooh, Vince wolferd could fit through there, Gordon, sorry,
Speaker 8: sorry to two regular sized meals could fit side by
Speaker 8: side through this opening.
Speaker 6: And what the hell are these changes?
Speaker 5: No no, don't stick your head in there.
Speaker 8: There's nothing to see here, oh Gordon.
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, you
Speaker 9: do not get to National treasure me.
Speaker 5: I national treasure you.
Speaker 6: You treasure me. Oh, don't make me blushed?
Speaker 5: Shove over?
Speaker 10: What's in there?
Speaker 6: Do you mean to tell me?
Speaker 8: You accuse me and threaten me multiple times without checking
Speaker 8: to see what was on the other side.
Speaker 5: I found a dead girl's phone in your wall.
Speaker 9: Excuse me if I didn't call a crime squad before
Speaker 9: getting the fuck out of Dodge.
Speaker 6: We'll take a look.
Speaker 10: Holy shit.
Speaker 9: Okay, so that crawl space, Yeah, not a crawl space,
Speaker 9: more like a giant naked mulrat clawed its way through
Speaker 9: the dirt.
Speaker 6: Ooh, things of that image.
Speaker 10: And to be clear, this does not absolve you.
Speaker 8: Oh, of course because of my hobby digging giant tunnels. Ooh,
Speaker 8: I knew it would come back and bite me in
Speaker 8: the ass.
Speaker 10: What do you think this place is?
Speaker 8: Since that information could be used to say I knew
Speaker 8: about this place, my internal made up council has advised
Speaker 8: me against responding.
Speaker 10: And missed a chance to show off.
Speaker 6: I plead the fifth.
Speaker 10: You don't know?
Speaker 6: Do you not yet.
Speaker 11: That?
Speaker 10: What was that?
Speaker 6: I don't know? Air?
Speaker 10: It's the same draft I keep feeling from outside.
Speaker 6: You can distinguish airs.
Speaker 10: It's coming from it in here. There's something past these tunnels.
Speaker 5: In my way, mister fraggins. No, you can't reach me.
Speaker 4: Oh hello, hi Phoebe what you got there?
Speaker 7: My toys?
Speaker 10: They're lovely and loads of fun.
Speaker 4: It looks like thanks. Do you always play on the grass?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Soft, unless it's wet, because then I get an essie
Speaker 11: and my mommy gets.
Speaker 4: Mad, right, and we couldn't do that.
Speaker 2: And do you ever find anything interesting while you're playing?
Speaker 5: Like what?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like maybe something that gets the adults
Speaker 2: all riled up in a dizzy.
Speaker 4: Like it Shaws, exactly like it, Shaws.
Speaker 11: I didn't like it there, sounded like that singing lady
Speaker 11: was crying. But then I found a finger?
Speaker 4: Oh did you?
Speaker 11: They were all scared, but I wasn't.
Speaker 4: That's so brave of you.
Speaker 5: How did you find it?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 5: I didn't find it. He gave it to me.
Speaker 4: Who gave it to you?
Speaker 11: The dark man?
Speaker 4: And why do you call him the dark man?
Speaker 10: Was it his skin?
Speaker 11: No, he was made of shadows.
Speaker 5: Babe. Comment's waiting, it's going to wash up.
Speaker 2: Gotta go, Sheriff, Mike Jack sure didn't expect to see
Speaker 2: you two here.
Speaker 13: Times like these, that's when the town comes together, Ain't
Speaker 13: that right?
Speaker 1: Mike?
Speaker 13: How can I help you? Sheriff?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: I was hoping to talk to Phoebe about the finger
Speaker 2: she found.
Speaker 6: Seems like you already did.
Speaker 4: She said a dark man gave it to her.
Speaker 5: Did she ever mention that to you?
Speaker 12: Phoebe still doesn't get that her sister isn't coming back.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't put much weight on what she says.
Speaker 2: Ah, boys, I'm just trying to help, And I get
Speaker 2: that I can be a wee bit much. I actually
Speaker 2: often find myself incredibly annoying, So we have that in common.
Speaker 2: But I've got a pool in every thread, even if
Speaker 2: it means something like revisiting Buster's accident as a murder.
Speaker 13: Don't you think that's a little extreme.
Speaker 4: With everything going on in this town?
Speaker 3: Not at all, look Sheriff.
Speaker 13: I've lived in this town all my life. I know
Speaker 13: these woods. Chances are some critter carried it over. Wouldn't
Speaker 13: be the first time. I certainly won't be the last.
Speaker 6: Just last week, raccoons stole missus Gresham's bloomers.
Speaker 5: Raccoons.
Speaker 6: Huh yeah, they got those little hands.
Speaker 4: They're made for Thievan. If Phoebe remembers anything else, you'll
Speaker 4: let me know.
Speaker 2: I will in that case, gentlemen, Sheriff, I really coon
Speaker 2: my rs.
Speaker 13: Hey, you did good, Mike, you did real good.
Speaker 6: Good.
Speaker 14: Won't bring my daughter back. No, but this is our
Speaker 14: town and nothing is going to run us out, least
Speaker 14: of all her.
Speaker 8: No. I get why my electricity bill is always so
Speaker 8: freaking expensive. I've been trying to heat the labyrinth from
Speaker 8: well labyrinth.
Speaker 10: Well, no way around it.
Speaker 2: We gotta go in.
Speaker 10: We have to look for the source.
Speaker 6: Excuse me, you want to enter the secret layer? First
Speaker 6: of all?
Speaker 14: Why?
Speaker 6: Second of all on earth? Would you want to do that? Actually?
Speaker 8: No, no, this tracks for the woman who followed it,
Speaker 8: potentially murders man back to an empty library.
Speaker 5: Oh my murderous man. Do you mean you the one
Speaker 5: who told me to do so? And I could have been.
Speaker 6: Trying to kill you, hence your point?
Speaker 5: Okay, that did you hear that?
Speaker 8: I hear a lot of things, voices, median voices that
Speaker 8: it might be my conscious might not.
Speaker 6: You will have to be specific.
Speaker 10: It was coming from the library. Come on, follow me.
Speaker 6: And we're going. Okay, there's nothing.
Speaker 10: Did you lock the door?
Speaker 6: Yes, there are murders happening. I just put in an
Speaker 6: automatic lock. Actually, so what was that? Well in a
Speaker 6: terrifying with fate that came from the horror section. So
Speaker 6: now it might be a good time for you to
Speaker 6: pull out that taser. Please, thank you.
Speaker 10: How about that high lied? I don't have a taser?
Speaker 6: You lied? What about all those specs?
Speaker 3: The three hundred million bolds?
Speaker 5: I mean I have it in my cart online, never
Speaker 5: clicked by.
Speaker 10: It was a bluff.
Speaker 6: In hindsight, the whole thing did feel a little banana
Speaker 6: th the copop?
Speaker 5: Yeah, where was that?
Speaker 6: Oh? We are going to die here?
Speaker 5: Did you see that something moved?
Speaker 2: That was?
Speaker 6: That was?
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody was in here?
