<v Speaker 5>Did you know that he and President Eisenhower tried to

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.800

<v Speaker 5>Okay, you found more Yetti tapes.

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 7>I knew it.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 5>I knew it.

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 8>I'll see you in two hours.

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.559
<v Speaker 5>Don't forget to shower. All eyes are on you tonight

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 5>for that opening speech, which you've written.

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Almost I'm off finally I'm hitting play.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 4>Tom Slick February fourth, nineteen fifty eight. I'm here sharing

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 4>a whiskey with my assailant and devoted partner.

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 7>But I wasn't really gonna kill it.

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I know, and I wasn't really going to kill you.

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 3>He's ayes, mom, shush, I lived with suspense.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Turn it up, mister Tom, I set according. It's mister Dulles, ask.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 4>For you're a good man, Dawa. What's our lead time?

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>We have a week and a half to lay the

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>groundwork for the Tibet Task Force.

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 4>So this Dulles really expects us to run a full

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 4>on hunt while trying to save the ducks us not.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 9>Why the trees listening? Hey, we refer to him Islama X. Okay,

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 9>he's a national treasure for the Tibetan people and he's

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 9>been a target for China since they invaded the country

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 9>eight years ago.

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh why is this Islama such a big deal?

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 9>Because the Chinese have heard only one name, puncture the

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 9>final breath of their victims.

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 10>What was that?

0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 4>The battle cry of resurrection?

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 9>Lama X is an emblem of hope to his people.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 9>I mean, he personifies the promise of life after death.

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 10>You Americans are selfish busts.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you care.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, Lama x is a national treasure.

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 9>We're greedy bastards too.

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 4>But we don't do the saving right.

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 9>Nope, Dolls has a task force going after the Lama.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 9>We're just laying the groundwork for the route through the Himalayas.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 7>So even if we don't find Agetti, still making history

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 7>Unwritten history.

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 10>Chapter five.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 11>This is the mostly true tale of Tom Slick, mystery hunter.

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 4>Tom Slick February nineteenth, nineteen fifty eight. Ten days until

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 4>we hit Tibet. We've met up with one of the

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 4>other two teams. They're turning back with the dogs. One

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 4>is injured, the other i'llnourished.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Tell that to my empty gut.

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 4>Still no sign of our Yetti, but we got the

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.679
<v Speaker 4>tranquilizer gun now and we are at the ready.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 9>Can you smell that?

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>That's stench that's used Slick.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 9>We're getting close.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Tom Slick February twenty first, nineteen fifty eight. Eight days

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 4>till Tibet, A bear eight three fourths of our food rations,

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 4>so we'll have to stock up in Tibet before we

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 4>head back out. Nothing to report on the YETI front.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm disappointed, but I hold on to hope. Tom Slick

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 4>February twenty second, nineteen fifty eight. Seven days till t Bet.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Our only other team in the field has gone dark.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 4>It's been two days since our last correspondence. Maybe they

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 4>ran into our yetdie. We certainly haven't, and I'm starting

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 4>to think Bud's right. I stink. Tom Slick, February twenty third,

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 4>nineteen fifty eight. Six days till.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 12>Damn it Slick.

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 4>We've just intercepted with the other team. They lost two

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 4>men and as you can hear, you know.

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's scientific investigation.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 9>The mountain has broken the others.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>You're a mad mad chize it into five tired.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 4>Tom Slick, February twenty fourth, nineteen fifty eight. Five days

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 4>till Tibet. We have nothing to eat. Bud is out

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 4>scrounging up game. Well, sit and starve. This morning we

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 4>trekt a grueling rounde through an unexpected mass of trees.

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 4>I thought I saw.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 9>It the YETI, but when I shouted, it vanished a

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 9>figment of some way I believed was real. Tom Slick

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 9>February twenty fifth, nineteen fifty eight. Four days until Tibet.

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 9>Still O YETI.

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 10>Ain't on no hope.

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 9>February twenty seventh, nineteen fifty eight.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 10>There's nothing to report.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:43.919
<v Speaker 9>I'm recording this to remind myself I'm still here, because

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 9>well I've lost everything, men, money, my mind. These Himalayas

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 9>were my Oklahoma oil field, and the YETI was my gusher.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 9>But unlike my father, I gambled with.

0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 8>Luck and lost.

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 9>Good God, did you hear that slick?

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 13>Was that?

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Yes? The sound is sweet, sweet pctory.

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 10>Let's go, come on, let's get her.

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Yetti always shuts off the good parts.

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 13>Wait.

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 6>Blair found one of these expedition tapes at the institute.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 9>I dambled with uck and lost. So what happens?

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 6>They're running after what Grandad thinks is the yetti and

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 6>it's chaos and everyone starts screaming.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 8>It sounded like they were running.

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 9>Away from something.

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 4>Well that's boring.

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Come on, let's just see if one of these last

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>tapes can tell us what happened.

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 4>I have twenty minutes before the pest control guy comes

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 4>at the back.

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>He's holding my addic hostage, and they're more boxes up

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>there I need to go through.

0:07:50.400 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 8>Let's just get through this one first, Okay.

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Bud, you alive?

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 9>Oh relly mister tom your leg or through it or

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 9>the other men.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Tashi and Doma were consumed by the avalanche.

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Damn it is there any way save them.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>There is no chance they survived, good man.

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 10>But you, me and mister.

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Budd ran toward the how which took us away from

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the avalanche's path. You say, are you saying the Yetty

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>guided us? No, mister tom the Yetti saved us. Are

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you kidding me? We lose good men? Dogs bood.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 7>Tommy, we've had a change of plans.

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 4>So have we two days away from Tibet. Now, I'm

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 4>telling you we need an additional forty eight hours here

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 4>in the Arun Valley. We're close, dolls, and the Yetti

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 4>knows it.

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 7>I don't give a shit. I have forty eight hours

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 7>for you to get your ass Tibet, locate Lama X

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 7>and get him.

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 8>Out of there.

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 4>What about your task force?

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 7>Whatever avalanche came through there the past few hours, it

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 7>knocked out their route through Baton. They have no clear

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 7>path forward, but you do.

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh, so we're in George of Lama X's escape.

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 7>Now, yeah, lucky.

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 9>Tommy, You remember at the beginning of all of this,

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 9>when you told me Lama X could help me find

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 9>my yetti.

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 7>Vaguely, What did you mean? Do you believe in the magic?

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 10>Now? What am I saying?

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 11>You believe anything?

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 7>I don't see magic is a flight of hand, which

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 7>is what I plan. But there have been things I've

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 7>witnessed that make me question everything. And Lama X, he's wonderful.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>He bost it, mister budd, I think you broke it good.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 10>I hate that guy.

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 7>Go here over, Oh he had a forty eight hours.

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 8>Over it's Batman.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure he's never heard that before.

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And go ahead and listen to the last two days.

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I know you want to get through him before you

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>write your speech for tonight. Oh, I heard the Governor's coming. Shit,

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry coming, Google?

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 6>Can you write a speech about Tom Slick Junior.

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 12>Tom Slick Junior was an oil air businessman, philanthropist, adventurer, author,

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 12>and inventor who impacted the world with his scientific pursuits.

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:59.040

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So maybe I'll just say something my speech.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 13>Like tonight we celebrate the legacy of a man who,

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 13>as you know, sought to uncover the many mysteries of

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 13>science through this.

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 6>Institute and the other two he founded.

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 14>know is that Tom Slick the man might just be

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 14>one of the greatest unsolved mysteries.

0:11:59.120 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Until now.

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 6>Tonight, for the first time ever, we are going to

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 6>reveal the unwritten history of the most interesting.

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.319
<v Speaker 8>Man you thought you knew.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Tom Slick Junior, I don't know something like that.

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Tom Slick. March third, nineteen fifty eight. We arrived in

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Tibet maybe six hours ago, and we were greeted by

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 4>a mob of Tibetan protesters and rebels. Hey watch it,

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 4>you have no concept personal space. Excuse me, ma'am, you're

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 4>shout directly in my ear. The mob led us to

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 4>our target, Lama X. We're now in front of his palace,

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 4>which looks to be protected by a flimsy gait and

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 4>this swarm of just lunatic Tibetans. There's human shield apparently.

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey wow, that was my foot.

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no need to apologize. I've got another one,

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 4>mister Tom.

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I just got work from mister Dunnas the Lama X

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.079
<v Speaker 1>refused the Chinese general's invitation to the dance.

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 11>The dance that's a doft cover for a kidnapping Lamo

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 11>X appreciates dancing, it's still fucking doft.

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>So if the Lama you'll not go to them.

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:46.640

<v Speaker 10>Okay, there we go.

<v Speaker 4>You've got a backpack full of yetti traps in a

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 4>crowd of angry Tibetans. Improvide the way I always do.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 6>Blair, you're getting good at this calling thing. Where are

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 6>you about to jump in the shower? I'm almost done

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 6>listening to the tapes.

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 5>We have six hours until the event live.

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 6>Well, I have a speech, and I'm pretty sure you're

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 6>gonna like it.

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 5>That's the Anta tapes turning you into a believer.

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 8>Oh, it's not the yetti I'm gonna expose.

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh cryptic, I like it. Do you need me to

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 5>read anything?

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, technically it's not written. It's just a voice memo

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 6>right now and.

0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 5>My hives are back.

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 13>Do you hear that?

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the shower.

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 6>Okay, if you want me to wash my hair and

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 6>shave my legs before the event tonight, I gotta go.

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, I'll.

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 6>See you in an hour.

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Or maybeen an hour and a half.

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 4>That's gonna leave a bump.

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Did we kill him, mister Tom?

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 4>No, No, he's knocked out. It's a sedative Dawa, but

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 4>it was made for a YETI, So I think we

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 4>have time, Tom Slick March third, continue Dawa and I

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 4>just took out three Tibetan rebels there to protect Lama x.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 4>I guess they didn't get the memo that we're here

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 4>to do the same thing, because one of them nearly

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 4>took my ear off with a serrated knife.

0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 9>But I've siphoned our monster tranquilizer gun into MINISERI, and

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 9>that Quory became Damas dark Board.

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 8>We'll Chinese just showed up.

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 14>They're armed with rifles.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 4>It's our front. They won't use them.

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 3>I hope.

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Is the mob still holding them off?

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 7>They're part of the problem.

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 4>If the Chinese, I will take the palace. If mob

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 4>will be right behind them, it'll be mass chaos.

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 14>There's no way we'll get our hands.

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 4>On lama As.

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Then mister Tom behind you, Oh Tom.

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Dower Dory, Now.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Did we kill him? Mister Tom?

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 4>You gotta ask that every time? What was there?

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 9>It came from ups there?

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 4>Come on, take the stairs. I'll lead, yes, mister.

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Tom, mister Tom ah.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I got that. Okay, excellent, Look daa that stair

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.440

<v Speaker 14>Yes, click list to night.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 4>What's going on out there?

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 14>The Chinese just threw canisters of tear as into the mob,

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 14>and I was.

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 15>Able to use wires and ropes from our yetti traps

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 15>on the palace gates so they'd be.

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 4>Near impossible to open.

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.520
