1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: The Miniwauk Caves is intended for mature audiences. It contains

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: strong language and depictions of bullying, violence, and sexual assault

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: that some may find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised. Also,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: this is an extremely immersive experience and headphones are recommended.

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: You're listening to The manwac Caves, a production of iHeartRadio,

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Blumhouse Television and Cycopia Pictures.

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: You can't fill out an accent report without note in

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: the conditions, whether the location.

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: You collect, witness information studied, the scene.

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: Safety is relative, and there's always a pattern, and then

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: if you pay attention, the pattern belies a deeper cycle.

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: I put on a bicycle, hit, buy a car, left

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: for dead. That's senseless and terrible. It tears down home families,

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: and that goes into the universe that wounded howl of

15
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: confusion and existential questions.

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: And again, the kid had no helmet.

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: He was crossed in Memorial and Boulevard, the most dangerous

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: intersection in the city. And there's a robbery at a

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: corner store, gone ry. That leads to the junkie who

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: needed that fix. That leads to the dealer that could

21
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: get it to 'em and it rolls on down the line.

22
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: Safety is relative. I mean there's always a pattern, forces

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: trajectories the momentum, and unless the pattern is disrupted, collisions

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: are inevitable.

25
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: There's a pattern here too.

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: A man of walk uh, cycle of violence. It's not

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: just those sadly boys. And unless the pattern is disrupt.

28
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: Stories about the caves go way back beyond early settler folkmore.

29
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 5: The ghost in the mill.

30
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 6: And the hounds of hell dancing in your.

31
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: What do you mean, like like ghost and witches, some

32
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: kind of he'll believe food or something.

33
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 5: Seems turn the river glean inside tells.

34
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,040

Speaker 3: That's the end.

39
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: Adventure was most interesting, discussing it's one of these great

40
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: unsold mysteries of this area.

41
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 8: All this call will be recorded as monitored. Please standside, Julia,

Speaker 3: I need you to come bessing man. I don't have

44
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: much time lifting.

45
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: Neither you.

46
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 7: August ninth, five fifty five pm. Where to begin? There's

47
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 7: only four days left now four days till James Fincher's

48
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 7: scheduled to be executed by the State of Tennessee unless

49
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 7: I can still do something about it. I drove to

50
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 7: see him this morning the Riverbed Maximum Security Institution in

51
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 7: Nashville for the first time since he was convicted fourteen

52
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 7: years ago. I'm led into a windowless box where for

53
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 7: death row inmates, you are a partitioned from your visitor

54
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 7: by a sheet of thick plexiglass. Their voice only available

55
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 7: to you through a hard wire plastic phone. The divider

56
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 7: lends a surreal aspect to the whole ordeal, like I'm

57
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 7: watching a live event on TV. My face reflected in

58
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 7: the glass, so while I wait, I stare at myself

59
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 7: as though I'm seeing myself on the other side. In

60
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 7: the final days leading up to their execution, the death

61
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 7: row inmate is taken to a special cell away from

62
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 7: the other inmates. Their cells completely bear a blank canvas

63
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 7: for a busy mind. They're not allowed any tools or

64
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 7: silverware that they could potentially harm themselves with, and a

65
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 7: guard is stationed by their side twenty four to seven

66
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 7: until it's time to go to the death chamber. It's

67
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 7: a final torture leaving them sitting there and their selves

68
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 7: rotting away, counting the days till they're predetermined death, deprived

69
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 7: of their inalienable human right to die by surprise. What's

70
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 7: most fucked up about it, although, is just how fiercely

71
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 7: a death row inmate is protected against their own non

72
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 7: schedule death. God forbid it happen in any other way.

73
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: God forbid.

74
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 7: They grant the condemned a fleeting but final moment of autonomy.

75
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: Anyway.

76
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 7: I was about to see him for the first time

77
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 7: since before he was arrested fourteen years ago. But as

78
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 7: I looked at my reflection, all I could think about

79
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 7: was how I was about to come face to face

80
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 7: with everything I hate about myself.

81
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 5: Hey bene non.

82
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 9: I saw the cuts on him, deep lines of scar

83
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 9: tissue rising up from his chest, some older than others,

84
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 9: real old. Others looked fresh, still raw and faster, and

85
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 9: tons of them all spilling out from underneath his sleeves

86
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 9: like he had carved words and symbols into his flesh.

87
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 7: Didn't make any fucking sense. They go to great lengths

88
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 7: to ensure these miserable bastards on death Row can't kill

89
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 7: themselves no sharp objects, even if he manufactured some kind

90
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 7: of shit. These scars would have taken time years maybe

91
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 7: if they covered his whole body and finished didn't have

92
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 7: these scars. The last time I saw him in the

93
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 7: courtroom before he was taken away, So.

94
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 5: How the hell did he get him?

95
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 9: He looked good. I mean, I mean, you don't actually

96
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 9: look much different, That's what I mean. My first time

97
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 9: back a man to walk.

98
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 7: Everyone looks older, worn down, But but you don't look

99
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 7: like you've eached today. I mean, I know, I look

100
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 7: like shit. Haven't really slept, I don't really sleep anymore.

101
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 7: I spent last night in my car. I was supposed

102
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 7: to go to Tyler's.

103
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 9: But shit, man, I mean, I don't know what you've heard.

104
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 7: You know, if you've spoken to Dina, well you know

105
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 7: I'm Tyler.

106
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: He's missing.

107
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 9: I went over there and he was just go.

108
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: His whole place was smashed up.

109
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 9: But I yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't

110
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 9: know what's going on. Look, I spent years thinking of

111
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 9: what i'd say to you, apologies and please and explanations

112
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 9: for what happened and why, But it's all bullshit. I

113
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 9: was a stupid, scared kid, and I have hated myself

114
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 9: for all these years, and so I'm here and I'm

115
00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 9: trying to help, but I don't know if I'm doing

116
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 9: anything right.

117
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 6: Please say something.

118
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: You do.

119
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: Look like shit. I don't want no apologies.

120
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 9: Your study's gone.

121
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 10: I had a lot of time in here to work

122
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 10: on it, to work on controlling my thoughts. Dena says

123
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 10: you freaked out on her last night.

124
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 7: Ever since I got back up, it happened issues. Did

125
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 7: Tina tell you about Tyler?

126
00:09:51,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 10: Forget about Tyler? What forget Tyler? Tyler did his part

127
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 10: and I'm doing mine, but you still have work to do.

128
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 7: I know, man, I'll go back to Dana and Joe Campbell.

129
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 9: I'm sure they need reassurances after after I FORGEBT last night,

130
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 9: and I want to make sure that they have my

131
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 9: statement about the Coherce testimony. No wait, I was thinking,

132
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 9: I'm confused.

133
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 10: What exactly do you think you're doing back here, Joe.

134
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 7: I'm doing everything I can, everything I can do. I'm

135
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 7: really I'm grateful for your team's.

136
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 11: Gonna be able to make a new poop for you.

137
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 10: But in the meantime, I said you were writing a

138
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 10: book about all this about me?

139
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 7: Maybe, but that's not why I'm here now.

140
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 9: Listen, I've been reaching the steps that check to Smith

141
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 9: took when he was involved in the original homicide investigation.

142
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: I know.

143
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 5: What, how do you know?

144
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: I just know? Thanks you only.

145
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 12: Stuff you don't know, or maybe you blocked it out,

146
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 12: or you aren't allowed to know details about you and

147
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 12: Tie and the had leaves and the case, especially the case. Yeah,

148
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 12: I'm practically a goddamn scholar on the subject.

149
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 9: I have so much to ask just the history and geography.

150
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: I know stuff that you can't find in the history books.

151
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 13: I know, Man Good Winner of eighteen ninety three, what

152
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 13: the O'Leary family took shelter during the winter blizzard got

153
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 13: snowed in Eleanor O'Leary was trapped deep in the caves,

154
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 13: watching her daughter starve to death. Don't ask for the

155
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 13: Lord's help, of course, Braiden prayed, Oh, Heavenly Father, please,

156
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 13: I beg you, please deliver my poor innocent.

157
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 10: Child from the cool hand of death. But the Lord

158
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 10: didn't respond. He was a no show. Maybe deep in

159
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 10: those dark, evil caves, even God couldn't hear their small

160
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 10: and desperate voices calling out, Okay, but I believe someone

161
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 10: else did hear, and I imagine him appearing before h

162
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 10: Miss Oldliarry was something resembly pity in the slits of

163
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 10: his eyes.

164
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 13: Good mother, you should you should tell you that he

165
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 13: made Miss Oliery an offer.

166
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: I can help you.

167
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 5: I can object to.

168
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 10: I can say, your poor little girl.

169
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: And only if you make the deal.

170
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: And poor Eleanor starved, delirious, freezing, and on the brink

171
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: of death.

172
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: I imagine she did.

173
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 10: What any loving mother and a moment of defeat and

174
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 10: weakness would do.

175
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: She made the deal.

176
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 10: He dies.

177
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: Nor nothing in the scaff I'll protect you. We're going

178
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: to get to know each other for very long time.

179
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 10: I don't understand whether or not you believe that story

180
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 10: comes Spring of eighteen ninety three, the impossible happen. The

181
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 10: youngest daughter, Nadine, Sure shit, That little girl e murders

182
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 10: from the cave, the only survivor of the O'Leary family.

183
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 10: How she survived is a mystery to this day.

184
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 7: Finch, I'm here to tell you something. Smith knew.

185
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: He knew you didn't kill him.

186
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 6: I think he knew who did.

187
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 10: Why don't you ask him what, Detective Solomon Smith.

188
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 9: He's lone gone, Finch.

189
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 6: No one's seen him.

190
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 10: Since when are you going back to the house the

191
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 10: Fowler estayed off of twenty nine, that's where Smith was

192
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 10: living during the investigation. Right, yeah, when you're going back there?

193
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: Not cut good?

194
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 5: How did you know that?

195
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: Wait?

196
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 7: Wait, wait wait, I have so much to talk to

197
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 7: you about, Fitch.

198
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 10: Do you have any idea how hard it is to

199
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 10: speak to you. I'm not talking about just sitting here

200
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 10: across from but literally speak words to your face.

201
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: I have spent years in this place, years.

202
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 10: Teaching myself to focus on the shapes of words, quiet

203
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 10: in my mind, training the muscles in my face to

204
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 10: wrap around the words properly.

205
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: And I can.

206
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 13: When I'm calling.

207
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 10: But when I called you, all of a sudden, I

208
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 10: couldn't get one word out clean. It was like no

209
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 10: time had passed it all for James fucking go there

210
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 10: first to foul the place.

211
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 14: Tonight, Guard, We're done.

212
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: So who helped a little girl?

213
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: That's where the discovery of Eleanor O'Leary's journal is interesting.

214
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: Miss O'Leary described the entire deal in great detail. What

215
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: Fincher was most interested in this is the last few

216
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: enturies of her journal. When she starts to discuss the

217
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: presence inside the case with him.

218
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 7: The truth comes in different flavors. Sometimes it's revealed in

219
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 7: the intersection of facts.

220
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: Aaron with the father, Seamus, he died first.

221
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 7: Sometimes it's hidden the lore.

222
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: As the family went to extremes to avoid starvation, Miss

223
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: O'Leary's journal entries become less coherent.

224
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: More disturbed.

225
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 15: These dots are all interconnected. I can feel it. Richard

226
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 15: Roddell being from Anniwalk, Detective Smith moving into William Fowler's

227
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 15: place after Riddell's execution, and then coming on board the

228
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 15: Hadley murder case, only to become convinced that James Fincher's innocence,

229
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 15: and now Deacon Hadley's necklace found in Tyler Wilson's ransacked

230
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 15: house after Tyler's gone missing.

231
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 7: These devils pranks, They're.

232
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 15: Important more than clues or converging strings on an investigation

233
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 15: board or breadcrumb's on the trail, a thread through the labyrinth.

234
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 15: But what was Fincher's obsession with the story of the

235
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 15: O'Leary family. I know it's all connected somehow.

236
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: According to miss O'Leary, here emerges from the very shadows

237
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: of the caves and offers to help her.

238
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: What doll.

239
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: It would seem that miss O'Leary was lacking rational faculties, delirious, freezing, hallucinating,

240
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 4: No doubt conjured this narrative while on the brain coach starvation.

241
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: Would you agree it's a classic narrative. A surf in

242
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 4: the garden, Fousty embargain the devil, a crossroads. Some people

243
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 4: believe Fincher worships the devil, would you agree, doctor Tector? Well,

244
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: even Satanists don't believe in the literal Satan, detective, And.

245
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: What do you call people who do believe in a

246
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: literal Satan? Christians?

247
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 7: After I saw Finch at Riverbedd in Nashville, I drove

248
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 7: back to the Fowler's place, detect dismiss less known home.

249
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 7: In the wash of the flashlight, it looked decrepit hollowed

250
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 7: out a skull deer and out at the night. Its

251
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 7: front windows were opaque with dust. My flashlight didn't seem

252
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 7: to want to penetrate the dark inside. The door, of course,

253
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 7: was locked. What there's someone there?

254
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 16: Come on, I have a gun, It was, dear, what

255
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 16: the hell do you want?

256
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 7: Three doze in a buck?

257
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 5: A phone?

258
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 7: They all stood right there at did you the wood

259
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 7: staring at me, eyes reflecting back my beam shoe.

260
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 15: What the hell?

261
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 9: They didn't move when I shouted. It was like they

262
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 9: were waiting for something.

263
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 16: Okay, where those stand there? Just don't call the cops

264
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 16: when I and I won't send hunters out here. Freezy

265
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 16: pickens deal.

266
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, all right to take the smith.

267
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 6: Let's see what you knew.

268
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna lie. I didn't know what I was

269
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 7: expecting when I got inside, but it wasn't what I

270
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 7: was looking at.

271
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 6: First.

272
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 7: Off, it was cold, I mean outside it's nearly summer.

273
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 7: In the house, cold like twenty degree drop and damp, subterranean,

274
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 7: without the benefit of ever being worn by the sun.

275
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 7: The house had largely been untouched since Solomon skipped out,

276
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 7: so the furniture's all there, and the bed sheets still

277
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 7: must from the last night he slept in the dry

278
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 7: goods in the pantry, a single dirty plate in the

279
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 7: sink next to a coffee cup, mold that had grown

280
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 7: over them, long, sin stride and dead. It was like

281
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 7: I stepped back in time. The only thing suggesting the

282
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 7: Solomon had ever left were the open drawers and half

283
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 7: empty closet, the hangers on the bed and he'd left quickly,

284
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 7: and then in the back office hum around the room,

285
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 7: moleskin tablets the kinyrad used to jot down notes on

286
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 7: the case perhaps were scattered about. In the corner of

287
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 7: the office, a small aluminum waste paper basket sat beneath

288
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 7: the scorch section of the wall. Someone had made a

289
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 7: small fire, and from the looks of it, he'd burned

290
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 7: pages here and there from the notebooks, one of which

291
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 7: seemed to have been burned whole. That wasn't even the

292
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 7: weirdest thing.

293
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 6: What the fuck is this?

294
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 7: The weirdest thing was the wall above the waste paper basket.

295
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 5: What are you doing?

296
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 9: Simon writing scrawled all over it, articles from the town

297
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 9: photo copied and pinned with no tape, and scribbled and

298
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 9: pencil and sharp remarker, no rahm or reason of the order?

299
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: What the fuck?

300
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 7: But all of it painted a grizzly, unflattering picture of

301
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 7: Manahawaan County. Every murder, every assault, every suicide and fire

302
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 7: and deadly car accident ever recorded, all pinned up and

303
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 7: noted in Solomon Smith's neat handwriting. Oh shit, it's here's tapes.

304
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 7: These tapes were dated, but there's no labeling beyond that.

305
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 7: From the looks of it, they went all the way

306
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 7: up to two days before Solomon Smith skipped town. Luckily,

307
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 7: I'd come prepared with extra batteries and a sleeping bag

308
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 7: and a bottleful of courage. I found the most recent

309
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 7: and popped in on this platform.

310
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: What in, Hooper?

311
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 17: I thought we were having a beer, figured we'd go

312
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 17: to a bar or something.

313
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 3: You sure you want to be seen with me, sir?

314
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: And besides, I already moved on to whiskey a while ago.

315
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: From the looks of it, you want what or not?

316
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 13: Yeah?

317
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: I go on. Then something on your mind, Hooper? Solomon.

318
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 17: I asked you on to this case because I know

319
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 17: you're about a mile more qualified than anybody else around here,

320
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 17: myself included. But this is a small town. People are upset.

321
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 17: When those two boys turned up the way they did.

322
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 17: It felt like it was their own children been cutted

323
00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 17: in those caves, and they want closure, They want to

324
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 17: put it behind it, and they should want the truth

325
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 17: and maybe they'll get it. Seems to me that James

326
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 17: Fincher truly was the only one with any real motive

327
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 17: to harm Deacon and Thomas. I think we need to

328
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 17: seriously consider leaning into the possibility that James Fincher killed

329
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 17: those boys. A man, James Fincher didn't kill nobody. What

330
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 17: do you have to go on that says he didn't experience. Look,

331
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 17: you have no idea what being different is. To stand out,

332
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 17: to be ostracized, marginalized, demonized, to be discriminated against in

333
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 17: a world full of people will think they're smarter than you,

334
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 17: who think they deserve better than you.

335
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: I hear you.

336
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 17: That's exactly why there's motive. I'm not arguing that the

337
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 17: system is perfect, It's goddamn far from it. But right

338
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 17: now we need to look at the impartial fact. Oh shit,

339
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 17: James Fischer didn't want to cause trouble.

340
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: He just wanted to get by.

341
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 18: Killing those boys would be a death sentence for a

342
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 18: kid like him in this town, and he damn well

343
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 18: is smart enough to know it. James Fincher has been

344
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 18: bullied since he moved here, and I'm not gonna let

345
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 18: him be bullied into a jail cell.

346
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 3: All right.

347
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 17: Look, I know you're a little bit heated and more

348
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 17: than a little drunk, but we gotta look at this

349
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 17: from the rest of the town's point of view too.

350
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 17: And how's that smart enough to know it isn't facts.

351
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 17: The fact is that multiple people have come forward pointing

352
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 17: a finger directly at James Fincher. We have interviews, we

353
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 17: have people willing to testify.

354
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 19: And Reverend Perkins has been particularly vocal. Excuse me, Reverend

355
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 19: Perkins has been putting pressure on you, all right, Sam,

356
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 19: of course he has. Why the hell wouldn't he You

357
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 19: get the backing of the first Baptist Church. You can

358
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 19: have whatever you want in this town, a raise, a

359
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 19: re election. Come on, two boys are dead, you son

360
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 19: of a bitch. These are good people.

361
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 17: They just want justice, and I would think that you,

362
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 17: of all people, would be able to relate to that.

363
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 17: Solomon Sheriff, I know what killed my boy. Maybe this

364
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 17: was a mistake. I think we've got more than a

365
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 17: little bit of a conflict of interest here. You understand

366
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 17: what I'm saying. Oh, you're taking me off the case.

367
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 17: I don't have much choice. It's my fault, it's not yours.

368
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 17: I should have put it together before bringing you on.

369
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 18: You need me on this thing, James Fincher don't stand

370
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 18: a chance.

371
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 17: I'm not so sure James Fincher deserves a chance.

372
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 7: Detective Smith up and left his life in Atlanta, but

373
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 7: his own personal demons followed him the Milwaukee. His son

374
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 7: committed suicide a few years before the move. See. By

375
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 7: all accounts, he was a smart kid, but he had

376
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 7: a minor physical deformity born missing two fingers off his

377
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 7: right hand. That's it. But he was bullied for it

378
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 7: his entire life heart and one day something finally pushed

379
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: him over the edge. He was eighteen years old when

380
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 7: he died. James Fincher was eighteen at the time of

381
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 7: the investigation. Maybe just another devil's prank is Jennifer Fowler

382
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 7: called them.

383
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: Listen, you can hear them off in the woods. I

384
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: know they're there every fucking night this goddamn week, right

385
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: outside my window, tapping and laughing.

386
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 7: Fast forwarded around on that first tape, his last one.

387
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 7: He'd recorded, come on and.

388
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: You piece this shit, Come on, show your goddamn faces.

389
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: Finally, come on, come on, come on.

390
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: Oh oh you motherfuckers.

391
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: God damn dear.

392
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 7: The tape from the perceiving that was much different. So

393
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 7: I skipped back a week or two and had another drink.

394
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: After reading letters, James Fincher wrote to doctor Tratner. I

395
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: went down to the Pottsville Library and pulled every book

396
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: Fincher checked out. He'd also had the library and printed

397
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: a few articles he'd found on their microfiche, and from

398
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: around Halloween he's run in the Pottsville Press. As I

399
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: don't know, I guess you'd call it what passes for

400
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: a human interest story around here. Amongst these tales of

401
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 2: terror and woe is this strange case of Nadine O'Leary

402
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: of the O'Leary family, Scotch settlers who had landed in

403
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: Norfolk and decided to try their.

404
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 3: Luck heading west.

405
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: Davis Wentworth of the newly founded Pottsville walked out onto

406
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: her back porch to find a small creature hunched over,

407
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: eating raw eggs whole from her chicken coop. At first,

408
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: she believed it to be a mangy bear, it was

409
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: so stooped and filthy. It turned out to be young

410
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: Nadine O'Leary, dressed in rags, missing fingers in parts of

411
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: her face from frostbite. She was nearly feral. For decades.

412
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: Nadine would give only a cursory account. However, on her

413
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: deathbed she told a different story.

414
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 16: What the fuck.

415
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, Well damn, a tree has landed on the

416
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 7: roof of the house, flush up against the chimney. Jesus,

417
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 7: Come on, detective, what else you got here?

418
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: Fas cases of Tom Trevor. He's thirty four, father of

419
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: two young children. Report it dead June thirtieth, nineteen ninety

420
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: after being spotted on a hike with it. Laura Solace?

421
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: Also what uh? Laura Solace?

422
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: Is that.

423
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: Wife of Paul Solace, mother of Julian Solace? Small world?

424
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 7: No, no fucking way.

425
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: What were you doing hiking with old Tom, Miss Solace?

426
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: No, he too fell, if her testimony was to be believed. No,

427
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: cracked his skull wide open, brains spilled out all.

428
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 6: Over the world.

429
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: No, but why were you with him? Looks like you

430
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: will with your husband at the dealership.

431
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: You'll probably travel to the same tiny circles in this hellhole,

432
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: probably tracked the same shitty beers and the same shitty bars.

433
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: Your kids maybe even played together.

434
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 11: Oh my god, we're.

435
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: Just passing the time talking about your happy marriages, your

436
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: beloved children.

437
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: Did you talk about Julian? But were you going up

438
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: there for something else?

439
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: What?

440
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: Hello? Is anyone out there?

441
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 6: Oh my god?

442
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: You get a little squirrel here?

443
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: So did he take it too far, move too fast

444
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: for you misunderstand your intent?

445
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: Did you push him? Or did you in a moment

446
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: of fear maybe he's bearing down on you.

447
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: Did you pick up a rock and finish that creasy

448
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: motherfucking yourself?

449
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: She wouldn't. Now you're probably right. She was just out

450
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: for a stroll in the woods with a friend, nothing more.

451
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess we'll never know, will we, Julian?

452
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: Why don't we talk about something else? The subject doesn't

453
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: seem to agree with you.

454
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 3: I can't think of anything.

455
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 6: What happened to the olders?

456
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 5: Ah?

457
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want a real devil's prank. This isn't the

458
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: first house to be built on this property. Guess who

459
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: the first owner of this land was?

460
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 6: Was it shamous oldier?

461
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: Well?

462
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: Look at you, Nancy Drew, How damn son you could

463
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: have been a detective. When he died, it passed down

464
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 2: to his only living relative, Nadine, who built a cabin

465
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 2: here and lived until the rife old age of ninety

466
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: before passing it down to her grandson, who knocked it

467
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: down and built this place.

468
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 3: You find yourself sit right now?

469
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 2: William Fowler Jennifer Fowler's granddad and my own benefactor.

470
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 5: Oh small fucking world.

471
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 3: You ain't kidding.

472
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 15: The only reus what happened to them in the cave.

473
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 2: Navin's story didn't that up. There was no way she

474
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: could have sabred by herself, and on her.

475
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: Deathbed she fessed up.

476
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: Seamus wasn't much of a hunter, and one day I

477
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: was trying to build a snare, Shamus slipped and broke

478
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: his ankle, compound bone sticking out. Took him hours to

479
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 2: hop her back to the caves. Within a couple of days,

480
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: he'd succumbed to sepsis not a pretty way to die,

481
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: fever dreams and visions of hell. Poor bastard. They were

482
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: devastated within it. Eleanor wailed and gnashed her teeth and

483
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: pulled out her hair. Though she was grieving, she was

484
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 2: in a dumb She saw an opportunity to keep her

485
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: girls alive.

486
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 6: Oh, they ate their daddy.

487
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: That's right.

488
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: They ate him right up, bit by bit, cutting off

489
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: parts of him with a rock ILLINOI shope keeping the

490
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: body cold at the mouth of the cave, hoping there

491
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: would be a break in the weather so they could

492
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: try to make it back to civilization. But that break

493
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 2: didn't come, and as the days passed and the meat dwindled,

494
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: they began to lose all hope. Three days later, Milicine

495
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: got sick dysentery, Daddy's flesh had gone rancid. One night late,

496
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 2: the fire had died down. Nadine awoke, feeling that something

497
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 2: wasn't right. She looked over to where her sister was

498
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: sleeping and saw a form huddled over her, shaking and

499
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: grunting as her eyes had just as she realized it

500
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: was her mother, smothering the life out of her older

501
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 2: daughter to put her out of her misery.

502
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 6: Jesus Christ.

503
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: And this is where it gets interesting. Eleanor died in

504
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: the caves too starvation. Her remains were found along with

505
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 2: the others.

506
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 7: So how did Nadine survive?

507
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: As a child, she claimed there was someone else in

508
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: the caves, a nameless and faithless man who led her

509
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 2: to safety. Then, when she was older, she denied it,

510
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: and the truth about what happened in the caves, well,

511
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: Nadine carried that to her deathbed, and she died right

512
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: here in this room. Only then did she whisper the

513
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: story to her grandson, mister William Fowler, same man who

514
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: left me this house.

515
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 5: You didn't leave town, did you?

516
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: What happened there?

517
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 2: It is again?

518
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 7: Let's smell what'd smell?

519
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: Apple wood, smoke, lightning struck, makes for damn fine barbecue.

520
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 3: What happened to me?

521
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 2: Take a look around your old all, will you?

522
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no? What happened? Really?

523
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 2: I think I live something over there?

524
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 6: Last? I love this, I appreciate.

525
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: Jesus.

526
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 16: Hello, Julia Tyler? Yeah, what the fuck?

527
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: You probably wanted grand ship and get out of there?

528
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 16: What where are you?

529

00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 17: What the fuck?

532
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Tyler?

533
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 17: Tyler?

534
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 6: Hello, Tyler?

535
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 16: What the hell?

536
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 7: I looked back at the house and there she was,

537
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 7: silhouetted before the bright flames that began to engulf the

538
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 7: Fowler homestead. A little girl in a tatter dress standing

539
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 7: in the doorway like a whole of blackness, a nothing

540
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 7: that's negative space, a paper girl cut out of this world,

541
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 7: her eyes barely visible on the flickering light. It was

542
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 7: Nadine O'Leary watching me, and soon she was enveloped by

543
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 7: the heat waves and smoked it and golfed in front

544
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:21,360

545

Speaker 3: Breeze.

546
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,400

00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 16: fuck up? Pick her hairs raised? Turn around, truly, I'm telling.

548
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,719

Speaker 14: your hairs right.

550

Speaker 16: Yeah, the right to remain silent.
