1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 1: Thirteen days of Halloween is from grim and mild blumhouse,

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: and I heart free d audio headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised.

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Are you warmer now than you were? Yes, thank you.

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: have mostly dried off, but my head still aches. Well,

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: we're almost to the doctor's office. He will take good

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: care of you. Any memories surfacing? No, just just to see,

7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: but it's like I can feel the edges of more

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: just the out of reach. Don't force it, it it will come.

9
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: In the meantime, enjoy the gift. You have no past,

10
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: so you've committed no sin, broken, no heart feel, no regret.

11
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: It's a blessing of sort. It doesn't seem that way,

12
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: I suppose it seldom does. Here we are. It's locked. Yes,

13
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: there aren't any lights on inside. YEA curious. He must

14
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: be away for a bit. He's not known for taking

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: time off. Don't worry, I've got another idea to at

16
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: least help with the headache. Where are we going to

17
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: see the priest? The priest? Yes, don't worry, we're not

18
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: going to try to convert you. He's something of an

19
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: an apothecary, an acolyte of the old medicine capital, oh

20
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: capital M and just around this corner, m that is

21
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: our house of worship. It's so ornate. Yes, Rupert Inverness

22
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: brought with him on the trip across the sea stonemasons

23
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: and sculptors, many of the faith, some les. So those

24
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: who survived the construction were exalted in life. Those who

25
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: didn't have the honor of resting within the walls. But

26
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: the priest will fill you in more on the details.

27
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I am sure he has a way with words. Come.

28
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: This door was crafted from the wood of the ship

29
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: that brought us here. Because of the harsh climate, many

30
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: had their doubts about how long we could survive in

31
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: this land. Invernus wanted to remove any chance of escape,

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: so he had the ship dismantled as our very first

33
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: priest prayed over it. These doors are the hope of

34
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: our people. It's dark in here. MM HMMM. That is

35
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: in honor of the deeper parts of the ocean, from

36
00:02:52,680 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: whence all life springs. Pastor, the fish, you feel, mm hmm,

37
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: just last night, dancing on the beach dressed in green,

38
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: the ecstasy of faith in your shimmering eyes. And here

39
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: you are, and with a friend, yes, pastor, a friend

40
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: with an injury. Goodness, that's a nasty cash. You must

41
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: be in terrible pain a bit. No worries, I have

42
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: just a thing here in my cow. Drink this. What

43
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: is it? The tincture of special arms for the head?

44
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: The pastor has never steered me wrong. Do you always

45
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: carry this with you? Let's just say I had a premonition.

46
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: There you go on, drink up. It's aftermost as in flavor.

47
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to admit. I've attempted to mask the bitterness

48
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: with all sorts of sweet herbs, but it always seems

49
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: to make it taste worse, as if it needs to

50
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: be bitter to work properly. Do you feel it working already? Yes,

51
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: and your head so an. That's how you know it's working. Now, mother,

52
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: where did you to meet? I found her this morning

53
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: on the shore. Than you are the other I saw

54
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: in my vision. Here you are at last. I've been

55
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: casting the bones and waiting so very long for this moment. Welcome,

56
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: welcome to the flock, my weary traveler. You are an

57
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: omen from the seed itself. It let step into my sanctuary.

58
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: I know that through your eyes it must seem a

59
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: bit spartan, but, unlike so many modern houses of worship. Everything,

60
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: and you see here is sacred, those storm glass lanterns

61
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: there above the beautiful altar craftsmanship found nowhere else. Our

62
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: folk have always blown their own glass, have always forged

63
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: their own iron. Surely as we dry the water for

64
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: salt this pulpit. My own grandmother carved it from driftwood

65
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: left from our fickle tide. She taught me her skills

66
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: as best she could, taught me to discern meaning from

67
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: all that leaves behind the tide, my only earthly love.

68
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: She is as inevitable and unchanging as the waxing moon.

69
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: She rises and falls her own ancient schedules, and there

70
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: is nothing to do but give thanks here on these

71
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: are modest pews, card from the wood of my own

72
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 1: family tree. It is all I can do to beg

73
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: forgiveness when she takes from US instead such a heavy burden.

74
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: I burned it gladly. Ever since my mother's mother's robes

75
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: rested upon my eager shoulders, there was such a great skill,

76
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: my mother's and before her, my grandmother, my great grandfather,

77
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: knowing the tide, knowing went to give, what to accept?

78
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 1: The gift, the burden, the need of it, has always

79
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: been in hard blood. The net stafle of fish, of

80
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: crab and squid, not simply because they are cast out

81
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: into the sea, but because of the offerings I leave

82
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: to dry here, because of the good work I am

83
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: pledged to give every cycle, every new moon, I write

84
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: our stories here on the stones, just as generating shoes

85
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: of pastors have before. We have smoothed these walls with

86
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: whale fat and warm blood. We're clean with salt from

87
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: the sea. My family tree has take the boots here

88
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: beneath the foundation of this church. We have always been here,

89
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: in the space between the people and the daily I

90
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: learned them task to keep the nets full. It is

91
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: my birthright, a part of the great cycle of the

92
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: mooring time. If you stealing glances at my altering house.

93
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Of course it exists for the good of the village,

94
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: of every soul here and those buried and drowned. It's

95
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: a beautiful listener. The shelves in the stone there at

96
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the base Polish Boister, dug from the shores before we

97
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: had our own colonies, seated to keep with the Times

98
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: in trade. This stone has been here longer than the church.

99
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: It is a record of everything we are m I'm

100
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: blessed dad my story, my work to it as well.

101
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: So few have such an open book of their own history.

102
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I care for it a prime but just such a

103
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: privilege to have you look upon it now, careful, can

104
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: take your time, try to understand all. You See. WHO lifted?

105
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: We have our stories, but alas, a good word makes

106
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: no mention at all of names. It is our way

107
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: in my family. We offer our name to the tide

108
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: and we are simply the bastard here, a servant to

109
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: the sacred deep. As time flows, so do we pass.

110
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: It's all that's written. But as the rich most of

111
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: time to live, I am only honored with the sure

112
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: a team that it was want of my blood. These here,

113
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: the siegels. I asked please, please touch them, feel how

114
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: they've been carved into the surface. They are for safe passage,

115
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: for the boats, for the seat to take only what

116
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: is needed to ensure the bountiful return for those that harvest.

117
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: They are ours and no outsider has ever used them.

118
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: Some even say we came to be here on their commands,

119
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: that we are bound by them. Who Pose? It is

120
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: not my place to question. Ah, yes, this garlet nowhere.

121
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: I wove it myself with my nets as a child.

122
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: That Killed Devil's abling, the feathers and gulls a bit

123
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: like sulfur. That smell, yes, pure defies it signifies my

124
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: station here and I wear it with pride, or rather

125
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: I have for decades. I'm feeling a bit less deserving

126
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: as a played h my shin grows as fat as

127
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the moon, for the altar has been void of new

128
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: bran for months, but you an omen the fresh breeze

129
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: in a damn cave. Soon, the holiest of Holy Knights

130
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: of lives, as it must, there will be a fresh

131
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: offering to the deep of dreamed prayed. What lack will

132
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: find a way to our nets. I have long made do,

133
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: but I am getting a bit old to continue my

134
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: own offerings. You See, the Hollow Times before alignment have

135
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: called for creativity, dedication most extreme. Shall I reveal to

136
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: you my own mortifications? I am tasked with a terrible way.

137
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: You See, I must give when there was no other

138
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: willing flesh to give in the lean times. It is

139
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: my duty to offer myself along with the Sacred Ambergris,

140
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: salt and iron. I had a vision, you see, in

141
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: a time of crisis of faith. But I was very

142
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: young and new to my role and I was so

143
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: desperate to prove myself worthy. I knew that I could

144
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: be more than human, that I had within me a

145
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: great beauty of only I could open myself to it.

146
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: And so I set about my sacred working he here

147
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: with my father's own Shark Hook, I had only a

148
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: bottle of whiskey for courage and my mother's Little Sea

149
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: Glass Mirror to guide my work. I freed them quick

150
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: and sharp, as I was commanded to do for the

151
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: good of our village. My Own Gills do trisy. I

152
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: am fashioned in their image by tent. We were handsomely

153
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: rewarded for my devotion. M Hm, m HM, such harvests

154
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: that season. Faith is a gift that gives ninefold. I knew,

155
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: as I poured myself here upon the stone, that we

156
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: are one to sea and I, and I give my

157
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: own salt for our salt, my flesh for the flesh

158
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and the nets we build, we sail, we harvest what

159
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: is provided by day that dwell beneath. Soon these little

160
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: offerings will give way to heart, blood and bones for

161
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: the waves and sun to bleach. It is a very

162
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: fair trade, my spare flesh for blessings. When our altar

163
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: is overflowing, we can hardly count the bounty and overwhelms

164
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: ussel the fruits of sea. No child here knows hunger.

165
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: Our homes hold fast when the Nor'easters ripped through. Our

166
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: boats are never lost. Our people do not fear the

167
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: rip tide or the shark when the altars fall. Every

168
00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: living thing in this world as its cycles m waxing ways.

169
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: And here we are, we with empty bellies and cattered

170
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: nets that meet mending with my slow work. Not even

171
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the gift of my stun crooked fingers could tempt their favor.

172
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Our church is dry and our people are rangeous. But soon,

173
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: for soon we will celebrate once more. The pits will

174
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: be dug, the fires lit. Oh, just to matching rock.

175
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Whe Pis there, beneath the sand and rimming full of

176
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: John Crab. Little next lobster, open hordle fires for the

177
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: skate had it car tuna. When we're especially lighting, it's

178
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: the fresh sun. The oysters like swallowing the seas else

179
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: with recipes so old they rival my own. Hymns, our

180
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: tapings to Rome, with the effort to hold everything we

181
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: harvest meats and break never before seeing such a feast,

182
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: and you can never will again. I think that I'm

183
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: going to be sick. That will happen from time to time.

184
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: We'd best take our leave. Father Blessed and keep you both.

185
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: Everything returns to him, super both. Soon they're there. Get

186
00:15:52,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: it out there. How do you feel? I'm okay, I'm okay. Ah,

187
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: I feel better. My head doesn't hurt anymore. Good. What

188
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: did he give me? Who knows? It worked? Yes, but

189
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: I saw things as he spoke, shadows of the far

190
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: off beach, somewhere warmer, and then a crash. I was underwater, visions.

191
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: None of it makes sense. That's good. It's probably your

192
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: memory coming back. It's a side effect, perhaps, and the

193
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: lucky one at that. Perhaps if we continue walking, it

194
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: will come back. We'll have some time to kill before

195
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: the doctor returns, and I have errands to run, shall we?

196
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: The day is still young. Yes, yes, good, yes, good.

197
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: M tomorrow, on thirteen days of Halloween, the graveyard poor,

198
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: a check for a beaten heart. He's alive, still alive,

199
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: porter calls out, and then all of a sudden a

200
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: man's arms shot up, clutched old porter by the collar,

201
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: brought him down to his crusted lips so he could

202
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: whisper in his ear. Poor soul managed to get a

203
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: few words out so John could hear. A final breath

204
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: was gurgled out to the salt water and sand and

205
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: has collapsed long. Don't put me down there, don't put

206
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: me under m H. Thirteen days of Halloween the Church,
