After all, your 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.120 stories have driven more than a few curious tourists in here. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.400 No matter how much I hate it, You're good for business. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.760 Oh you aren't welcome in my home, of course, God damn. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.360 What can I help you with, Sarabeth? 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.760 Well, I know that this place is popular in town, 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.200 I'd like to think so. I know that everyone from 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.120 the police chief to the mayor to the trash men 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.680 hang out in here. That is true that if there's 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.599 scuttle butt to be found, you can find it here. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.400 There is a very good chance that you're right.

I'm afraid my 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.679 connections don't go that high. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.920 I meant, if you knew anything of mister Havoc. 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.160 Well, why would I? Because you've been. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.039 Seen together a couple of times. He came in here. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.000 He saved your life. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:23.800 What is it you're looking for? 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.560 It's I have a. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:32.360 Child, Krin Heather, and what is happening here is terrifying, 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.719 but not unprecedented. I was wondering if you had seen 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:43.520 anything odd. This isn't a joke. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:52.240 I know, I know. Sorry, you just you've caught me 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.960 off guard here. I know that it has to be 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.880 terrifying to have a child during this sort of thing. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.240 I'm beside myself. I pride myself on being very logical 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.320 in the face of historic moments. I study the evidence 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.200 and make my decisions. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.040 But what is happening is heus? 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.640 Yes, and I don't know what to do besides lock 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.120 myself and Heather away. 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.600 But what does jury Havoc have to do with this. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.480 The disease came with him at least at the same time, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.200 but like I did before with his great great great grandfather, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.280 and it seemed to go when he did. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.080 And you've come because it was an abbess who drove 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.360 him out. And according to your history tours, the mad 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.600 preacher was you know, mad. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.880 I know I'm a hypocrite. You're just the only person 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.080 I know who's spoken to him. I'm sorry, I'm not 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:56.000 being rational. I live next door to Tom Stabanaugh lived. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.520 Oh honey, Heather was home when it all happened. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:05.200 Oh my god, I had no idea. Sylvia, get Sarabeth 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:05.720 a drink. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.600 Yeah, yeah, everything is just happening so fast. I'm just 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.520 looking for any explanation. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.120 Of course, you are well. I'm sorry to say that 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.440 I haven't really had much in the way of a 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:23.640 conversation with Jerry Havoc. Of course, I do have some 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.920 things I want to ask him about his family. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.160 Hey, Corinn, turn around the TV. They're talking about us. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.600 Yeah, yeah, hold on, Sarabath. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.600 Returned to Havoc tonight, where two separate attacks have been 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.360 reported in the last two weeks, and an outbreak of 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.480 a mysterious illness has been reported. We now go to 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.640 a press conference from Havoc Memorial Hospital already in progress and. 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.080 We have secured the area. Anyone who has any more 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.679 information on the matter, please call our hotline. I'll have 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.280 the number passed on to local news organizations. I'm now 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.360 going to hand it over to the Deputy Director of 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.880 Infectious Diseases at the CDC, doctor Andrew Bradley, who will 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.079 be talking to us about the precautionary measures concerning this. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:15.840 Doctor Bradley, yes, hello, as Colonel Harbor said, I'm Andrew Bradley. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.840 I'm the Deputy Director of Infectious Disease. I report directly 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.679 to the Director. There is a lot of new information 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.880 coming down the pike at US currently, and we spoke 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.920 earlier of the infection of patient zero. I want to 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.680 first announce that we currently are showing no immediate new 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.720 cases of this disease besides those already reported. But if 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.000 you are showing symptoms including but not at all inclusive 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:44.840 to fever, cough, lightheadedness, mood, instability or traces of blood 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:50.040 in mucous spits, tears, urine, feces, or sweat, to please 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.359 report to the local medical center here in Havoc immediately 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:54.840 so as to halt. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:55.920 Any further spread. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.480 We're currently hoping that by self reporting we can keep 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.360 this under control. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:02.720 Now. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.760 As for other mitigation methods, we are asking people to 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.120 social distance, that's keeping ten feet from each other when possible, 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.120 wearing a mask, indoors when you cannot, and staying home 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.720 unless absolutely necessary. We also would ask that you try 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.880 your best to wash hands after contact with other people 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.880 and surfaces. These are precautionary measures that we would recommend 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.160 with any infectious disease, but with so little current information, 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:37.520 we think that Colonel Harbor, ladies and gentlemen, folks. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.840 Folks, we're putting this hospital on lockdown for the moment. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.320 We're going to ask you to please sit tight. Colonel Harbor, 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:45.320 what's going on? 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.800 I do not have enough information at this moment to 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.200 be able to answer that question fully. At this time, 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.040 there will be no entry or exit into this hospital 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.839 except in the case of medical emergency. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:10:59.320 Apologies. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.960 There are folks, seems that they have cut the feed 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.559 that was a joint press conference between the New Hampshire 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.199 National Guard and the CDC, which seems to have been 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.600 interrupted by a lockdown of the hospital. More on this 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:18.120 story as it develops. In related news, CEO of Havoc 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:23.040 Industries Jury Havoc the fourteenth has recently begun operations in 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.040 the Havoc township, with plans to announce new construction in 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.320 the coming weeks. When reached for common about the plants 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.280 and how they may be impacted by the disease, a 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.160 representative from mister Havoc declined to provide an answer. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.439 In international news, North Korea has reportedly launched another missile 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:45.520 over the Sea of Japan. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:54.559 Shit, well, all right, folks, on the advice of the CDC, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.720 we're closing down early. We'll probably stay closed for the 0:11:58.760 --> 0:11:59.480 next few days. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.920 Ah, come on, Karen. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.640 Don't give me shit. Phil, I'm trying to keep you alive. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.880 Dead men, don't drink. You don't know that, all right, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.480 last call after that, you're on your own. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:12.560 All right. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.200 Yeah, jeb Ronie's line up here for orders. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.559 He must know something, Sarahbeth. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.600 Unless he's an epidemiologist, I just doubt that very much. Okay, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:24.800 I've got to take orders. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.640 What could it hurt to ask? 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.040 I know it's a long shot, and I know that 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.080 you have no reason to do me any favors. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.240 What could it hurt? Please? 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:41.800 Oh, I'll speak with him about it. Okay, thank you, Krien. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.160 I promise I'll be a better friend to you. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.959 Maybe start with being a little lessian enemy and we'll 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:48.600 go from there. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.160 Of course, Yes, thank you. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:06.600 A brief, blessed break in the chaos around us. My 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.840 grandfather always said that there was nothing quite so sacred 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.080 as a quiet bar at the end of a long 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:17.080 work day, said that the Holy Ghost was among the spirits. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.000 Always laughed at his own joke. But there's something there. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.600 I think. My father was certainly an accolade of this church, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.720 and raised me up to be one as well. And 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.960 I keep the faith still all these years later, even 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.960 though I may be the only one left at the 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.000 end of the long line of fervent abbots and abbesses. Not, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.960 of course, thought I worship alone. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.120 H hell of a day, don't you think? 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:53.520 Certainly busy? When do you head up to Jerry's straightway? Really?

I mean, the sickness de 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.520 Marius's diary, the timing of him showing up in town. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.760 Even Sarah Beth, who spent her whole life painting my 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.520 family as a bunch of superstitious weirdos, is shaken by this. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.520 I mean, for her to ask me for help. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.760 Yeah, it's wild, a sign of the end times, the 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.160 Seventh Seal broken. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.680 Okay, I'd better head over. 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.160 I am so excited and jealous. I mean mostly excited. No, no, 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:51.440 mostly jealous. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.240 Okay, he's just dinner, and I'm gonna make it weird, 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.440 I'm sure by pumping him for information. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.120 Pitchposh. 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.400 I will see you to mo sorrow bullshit. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.160 You will call me tonight. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:27.840 Have a good night, Sylvie, call me evening. Drive through 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.400 a ghost town. Even in small places like this, there 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.400 are the telltale signs of everyday life. Kids playing in 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.360 the yard, people out gardening or walking having a chat. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:46.280 The stillness was eerie, and only occasionally broken up as 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.600 I drove to to have a place by emergency workers 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.400 entering a neighbor's house. A National Guard humvy slowly rolling 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:59.240 up a side street, horribly out of place. This wasn't 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:05.360 a peaceful quo. The foreboding mood wasn't softened by pulling 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.240 into the Havoc drive. There. It was just up the hill, 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:20.640 a monolithic sort of thing. Workmen had been here and 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.080 painted it a stark white so that it stood out 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.160 against the brown grass at the hillside. Three floors of 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:32.640 tall windows framed with black shutters, like empty sockets, staring 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.160 out across all of Havoc, New Hampshire, as if surveying 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:41.720 its domain. The steep steps leading up from the drive 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.440 to the front door did not soften the place at all. Instead, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.680 it reminded me how far up I'd already come, and 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.960 how much further I'd have to climb. And then the 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.080 heavy oak door was in front of me, painted black, 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.040 of course, with a massive doorknocker boot in the shape 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.600 of a bear with a large brass ring stuck in 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.679 its mouth. I could imagine it turning into Jacob Marley, 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:25.520 ready to warn me off my greed. Well, here goes nothing. Hello, 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.119 I'm looking for Jerry Havoc. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.679 Yes, miss Abbitts, I'm Hobson. I work for mister Havoc. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.120 Please come. 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:50.080 Inside. Was a little warmer, dark wooden floors and dim lights, 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:57.080 and Hobson tall and thin, wispy gray hair oiled to 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.320 his skull. He studied me for a moment from under 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:01.399 his heavy eyelids. 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.080 Before mister Havoc is on a call. He asked for 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.199 me to sit you in the parlor. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:17.960 The parlor this way? Is this a bad time? 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.639 Mister Havoc is on a business call, but it's looking 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.400 forward to your meeting. Would you like refreshments? Coffee, tea? 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:26.840 We have an excellent wine. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.840 Sep oh, that's not necessary, as you wish. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.680 Mister Havoc will be with you shortly. If you happen 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.960 to need anything, I'll be in the study upstairs. Just 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.280 ring the bell here sure, thanks, please sit. 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:52.040 Not the warmest welcome. The parlor was like walking into 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.600 a museum, the blue gray evening light coming through the 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.560 tall window, little well appointed room, a room that whispered 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:04.119 of old money. A harpsichord in the corner, ancient but 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:09.480 dust free paintings on the walls rivers through European cities, 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:14.040 pastorals of sheep with the backdrop of steep, craggy mountains, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:20.440 and there, above a high mantle, a portrait a delicate 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.840 woman with pale blue eyes, white blonde hair piled atop 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.000 her head in great ringlets. She wore a gown of 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:33.480 crimson against a dark backdrop. The light in the painting 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.359 fell across her face in such a way that it 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.119 cast shadows about her, but it caught her eyes just so. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.840 They burned brightly, like winter sun hitting the surface of 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:50.520 an icy pond and reflecting back too brightly. The effect 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:59.080 was hypnotizing. She was magnificent, soft and still, but with 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:04.000 a terrible sort of vibrance, like she could reach out 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.119 through the painting and touch you with her white fingers. 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:08.840 Beautiful, isn't it? 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:09.520 Jesus? 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.159 Oh God, I didn't mean to. 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.639 Uh, you scared the shit out of me. 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.199 Occupational hazard. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.120 I didn't I didn't hear you come in. I was well, 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.440 I was transfixed. This painting is gorgeous. 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:31.879 Oh yes. Jacques Louis David eighteen fourteen, he painted the 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:36.960 Coronation of Napoleon. Oh, and the death of Socrates. Wow, 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.320 don't worry, you know, because I looked him up. 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.520 Okay, thank you. I've never heard of him. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:47.920 He was apparently a big deal. 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:50.720 So who's this. 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:56.119 This would be my great great great et cetera, grandfather's first. 0:20:55.840 --> 0:21:07.720 Wife, Sophia. Yes, who my great et cetera grandfather murdered. Yes, 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:09.320 sorry about that. 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.560 Well, we don't have to rehash the past, do we. 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.800 Let's go and sit in my office, Shally, this room 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:17.840 belongs to a dead woman. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:23.440 Sounds good. I hope everything's okay, or that this isn't 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.400 interrupting important business. I mean, we could have pushed this 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:27.240 to another day. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.600 No, not at all. No, like I really wanted to 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.399 get to know you better. 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.560 Oh, you just seem pretty heated on the phone. 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.560 Yeah, well, the governor's an idiot. 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.480 That's why you were arguing about the governor. 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.560 I was arguing with the governor. 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:45.600 Oh uh huh. 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:47.679 I can't believe it. He's proposing a lockdown in the 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.280 county just as we're getting started with the new project 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.800 at Avoc Mills. We've already had a shit couple of 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:55.160 years business wise, and. 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.840 I've heard about the congressional testimony. 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.280 Yeah, like I said, as soon as we make aware 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.160 of labor violations, well things changed. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:03.359 I believe you. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.040 This lockdown could cost me a lot of money, depending, 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:12.679 of course, on how long it lasts. Please right in here. 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:18.440 Holy shit, this is this is more a library than 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:19.040 an office. 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.000 Yeah, I guess it is. 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.280 Is this giant desk where you do your business? 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.000 Where I attended? At least? 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.359 Where do you find a space? It's chaos? What are 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:31.080 these ledgers? 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:32.199 They are? 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:34.320 You know? 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.359 They're like computer programs that do the same thing and 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:38.479 save the clutter. 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:40.960 Yeah, we use them, We use them. It's just a 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:47.199 more old school tactile. I like to see it all 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:47.760 in front of me. 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.320 Some of these look like they go way back. I mean, 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.479 this one looks older than the Bible. 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.800 The hell man, Sorry, I'm so sorry that it's just 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.160 that one's really fragile. It shouldn't really be back there 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:02.560 at all. 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:04.920 Well, there's no need to scold. 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:09.679 I'm an adult, I said, I'm sorry. I'm under an 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:11.320 awful lot of stress right now. 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.879 That's fine, that's fine. I don't let the drunks of 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:16.960 the bar talk to me that way. And I know 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.080 them a hell of a lot better than I know you. 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.080 We don't seem to be able to get on the 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:26.000 right footeing dew We. 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:31.040 No, we can't. And you know what, I get it. 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.800 The stress lockdown would screw my place up pretty badly too. 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:38.440 I'm sure with the CDC involved, things will return the 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:39.680 nomal pretty quickly. 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:45.000 Right, I honestly don't know. I'm pretty livid. I thought 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:45.960 he was pro business. 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:50.040 I mean, I'm no fan of SNUNA, but I'm sure 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.679 he's also pro keeping his constituents alive. 0:23:53.800 --> 0:24:01.320 Who knows? So let's not talk about business. What should 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:01.920 we talk about? 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:09.320 Well, I'd like to rehash the past? Neat Well, it's 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:14.240 just that I recently discovered the diary of Tameris Abbas. 0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:22.480 I'm familiar with it. Oh well, yes, my great great etcetera, 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.560 et cetera grandfather was the one who found it. 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:26.280 Actually I didn't know that. 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.560 Well, it's not common knowledge. He made sure that it 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:32.000 wasn't entered into the record of events. 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:36.360 Hmm. That's sort of what I'm here to ask about. 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:46.640 Not vamporism, No, I mean, what happened with your family 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:47.400 after everything? 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.720 After the good Reverend Abbis murdered his son, he marched 0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:54.600 up the hill to this very house and banged on 0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:56.680 the door in the middle of the night. Then he 0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:00.960 murdered Jury Havoc, the Eighth's wife, Sophia, whose portrait you 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:03.720 were so taken with. And after that he went and 0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.680 hung himself in the church, leaving no note. 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:13.280 Well that's not entirely true. What we did a letter 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:14.840 to his grandson. 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:19.400 Did it explain what happened? 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.480 Uh? No, No, just told them that the vampires were 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:27.880 going to be their responsibility in the future and apologizing 0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:29.399 for their mother's death. 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:41.200 Hmm, Shane bat to Mars, another innocent Yeah, well, let 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:45.159 me tell you something. Even in his grief and Sophia's loss, 0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.920 my ancestor felt an obligation to heal the wounds habits left. 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:52.160 The current town hall was funded by him. He gave 0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.360 generously to the church and found someone new to lead 0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:58.360 the congregation, all of which led to the population renaming 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:04.280 the town after him. But apparently the the sorrow was 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:09.280 too much, and so he returned to London, where he 0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:11.760 met his second wife. 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:15.600 Martha, which I suppose was lucky for you. How so, 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.639 otherwise you wouldn't have been born. 0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:24.240
