Thaddeus 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.880 makes a speech to his staff about listen, we're all 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.120 lucky to have jobs. Okay, we're all lucky to be 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:28.120 working in a factory that's inside of an apparently defended perimeter. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.520 We don't have to deal with raiders in the wasteland 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.280 and so don't be mean to each other, and some 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.679 of us that are Ghuls don't feel bad that your Guals, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.600 and some of us that are humans don't make fun 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.840 of the Ghuls because we're all working here together. We're 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.400 all lucky to be here. Meanwhile, Lucy is taken by 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.200 her captors along with the woman who she saved from 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.200 the hospital, into a camp and it's the Legion, folks, 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:58.160 this is Kaisar's legion. And from the game, if those 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.520 two of us who've played New Vegas or aware of 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:06.800 the Legion say kind of meat headed group of meat 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.440 headed faction that is always at war with various other factions, 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.080 and that is absolutely the case here, and you know 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.400 they are Roman Empire wannabes. They immediately kill the woman. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:22.680 They bring Lucy before their leader, the Kaisar, who's of 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.160 course name, they pronounce it correctly. She tries to correct 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.120 them like, I think it's seas her, like if you 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:32.000 guys want to be Roman, and she just like correcting 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.200 them on that. As the screams of the tortured and 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.680 the crucified ring out through the camp. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.320 It's crazy and honestly, the Lucy is not happy about it, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.560 because the Legion is essentially like negotiating her historically accurate 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.680 sexual assault. And she's like, guess what, bitch, you can't 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.280 assault me or sacrifice me, because that was not even 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.000 Romans who were doing that. It was people in the 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.919 medieval times. They just wanted to sound fancy. And also, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.640 I'm the otherge and I've messed around with my cousin 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.440 a ton of times, so what are you gonna do 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:02.960 about that? 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.200 And even they're like hmm hmm. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.600 So they tie her hands and they're gonna put her 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:13.200 on the cross, and Macaulay Culkin, who plays Kaisar, tells Lucy, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.320 look things he's not. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.120 He's like the right, He's like the you're right. He's 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:18.640 like the. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.800 Manager to the Kaisar. I don't know that we picked 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:22.600 up his name here. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:23.959 It was just mc. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.079 I've just been calling hi, McCaulay culkin. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.959 Good on Macaulay Culkin, who we love. And he's like, hey, look, 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.160 things are very serious here. Okay, we have got our 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.760 we've got our problems with the Legion. And then there's 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.280 the fucking New California Republic and the Brotherhood of Steel 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.560 and basically they're just fucking with us and it's all going. 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.000 Really bad, and there's a like interious. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.920 Schism between the Fosters because the people who chose the 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.280 original Caesar as the leader, they chose a successor, but 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.120 we disagree, and the name of that person is actually 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.440 on the corpse of the og leader, who is a 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.320 skeleton that you can see over here, but we can't 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.280 get to it because there's the sibyls awful and Lucy's light. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.080 Look, I can help you. 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.480 I'm nice, I'm good at mediating, and instead they're like, no, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:09.400 I just crucify it. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.880 Okay, I just just throw her up there back of 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.040 the hospital. The ghoul is like dealing with the rad 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:24.320 scorpion poison and going really badly, but also kind of 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.320 the facts that he's still alive and is able to 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.719 deal with it kind of proves Lucy's point, like he 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.640 didn't need the stiff pack that bad. He crawls somewhere 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.160 safe where he can cut out the ghoul the rad 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.599 scorpion poison sacks from his leg, which he does all 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.960 the while speaking sweetly to dog Meat, And then we 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.200 see the past. It is Coop. He's in his Hollywood home. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.919 He sees his wife Barb packing their daughter Janey's stuff 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.479 for the potential stay in the vault should there ever 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.760 be a nuclear war. And of course Coop knows that 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.919 there will be a nuclear war, and it's part of 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.960 Barb's plan and part of the Corporation's plan started themselves, 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.120 but he plays dummy, plays the doting husband. He says, well, honey, 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.320 will honey, hopefully we won't need to do that. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.359 We'll never hopefully go into the vote, honey. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.240 Oh honey, hopefully it won't come to that. M out right, 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.680 and his wife is like crying. He's like, yes, of course, 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.960 hopefully it won't come to that, and he then makes 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.640 an excuse and says, I gotta go. I gotta go 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.560 over to the Veterans Hall see Charlie. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.640 And then we get there and we see Charlie played 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.560 by Dallas Goldtooth, a Moldeva agent, and he's like, hey man, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.080 what's going on. He's like, what's going on? Is Robert 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.960 house building something? Is there some kind of weapons system? 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.560 Like what's occurring? And Coop's like that, yeah, that's basically it. 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.159 So did you know that Moldava wants me to kill him? 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.080 Do you think I should do that? Old war pal? 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:56.200 And he's like don't do it. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.320 Brow, don't do it. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.719 And then he's like Charlie's like, actually, maybe you should 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:00.159 do it. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.040 Maybe you should kill the right guy. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.800 For once, I thought this was some really interesting, nice 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.640 stuff here with the Veterans Hall, because they really deal 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.039 with kind of the realities of war and realizing that 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.120 you came back for a war and fought for a 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.360 country that maybe doesn't care about you, for a war 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.760 you don't believe in, and it's really interesting. And we 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.479 get this hilarious moment where we see Diane Well, she's 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.119 a congresswoman from Glendale, and she's like, it's me here, 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.880 the only politician who doesn't take corporate money. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.400 And they're in like the shittiest vet center with. 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.240 No money, there's no lights, and I was like, man, 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.800 this is like painfully tut it. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.160 What I loved about this whole bit with Diane Welch, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.320 the congresswoman talking about how she doesn't take corporate money, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:47.600 is that, yes, she is this you know, upstanding, apparently 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:52.040 politician who understands the dangers of corporate money and politics. 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.800 But she's also like a terrible she's so boring, so boring, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.320 she's not engaging. It's like if you want to believe 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.240 in her message, you're just gonna have to fight through 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.520 the fact that she's bumbling and boring and I can't 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:04.560 get her notes together. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.320 Absolutely, and also as well, I love that it's also 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.080 like very real to the kind of people who like 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.800 stick to their guns in politics, is like very unglamorous, Like, well, 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.600 I just think it's bad that corporations are in charge 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.880 of everything and the vets thing gets really boring and 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.000 there's no like Captain America Jocketing Firewak. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.600 She needs a little bit more of a show. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.400 She can't like figure.

By the way, I 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:11.200 don't judge emphasize with the Pinkos. The Pinkos are absolutely right. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.559 Of course, you know they've analyze the sitution quite well. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.400 But you know, what what are you going to do 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.200 when when billions of people are backed into a corner? 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.040 It's quite He makes quite an enigmatic speech about war 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.200 between communism and capitalism basically, but he doesn't get into details, 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.040 and Coop then says, well, you must not be a vet, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.760 my friend, and House is like, what gave me? 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.160 A ways? 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.000 Don't talk politics with their dick in their hands? 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:43.960 Whoa? 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.719 And with that, let's take a quick break. Oh, we 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.640 come back to continue with our recap. 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:58.720 Follow episode thirty. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.480 We're back and we're inside the infamous area fifty one. 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.880 You've always wanted to look inside, Well, guess what you 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:10.559 could be there? 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:11.080 Right now? 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.680 The Brotherhood of Steel are arguing about tactics, the conspirators 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:15.320 are breaking up. 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.920 It's all falling apart since old the good old Command 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:20.920 and Jarley. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:26.240 Showed up the glamorous Kaladin Hallard in Harkness. He's you know, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.480 Quintus was really on the like, let's rebel guys, and 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.160 then no, it's not working. He's like, but we started 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.559 from an insurrection. We were somebody who we came up, 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.400 you know. Roger Maxim, the first Brotherhood of Steel leader, 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.600 he knew that things were being done in California before 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.520 the war, terrible experiments, and he turned his back on 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.640 his government and embraced religion. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.000 Maxim shot the scientists and. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.600 Everyone else and founded the Brotherhood of Steel, which is 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.400 a very interesting little tidbitsy and as how much fucking 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.640 terrible experimentation we saw going on in the last couple 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.720 of episodes, Quintus is a ze let. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:03.640 Bet it doesn't work. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.280 The women leader of the BOS is like, hey, just 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.200 give the coffee's drive to the fucking Commonwealth. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.760 I'm leaving. Maximus is like, well, let's just kill Harkness. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.200 What about that? And Quintus is like, well, if you 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.920 do that, there'll be a lot of war. But like 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.000 the righteousness of the cause. Maximus is like, isn't that 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.120 what it's meant to be about? And he's like yeah, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.200 if hey, you're dumb, He's like fuck you. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.160 You're an idiot, You're stupid, you fucking idiot, fucking dialistic 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.520 dumb call. Darkness greets Maximus outside and is like, hey, 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.040 you know, why don't we talk Because it's clear that 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.319 you know, there's too much politics going around over here, 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.760 and you know, I understand that different Brotherhood of Steel 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.920 chapters do things in different ways, but you guys have 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.040 a lot of cleric I think is weird lyrics. Too 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.960 many clerics making decisions. You know, in the Commonwealth we 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.200 have clerics too, but they know they're not like leaders 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.079 and stuff. Like guys like you and me, we're the leaders. 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.679 So you know, like, let's just me and you hang out. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.400 We'll talk about it, you know, because like obviously rebellion 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.360 it's going to be very very costly. It's going to 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.720 be a civil war. We don't want that, and it 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.880 goes against what the Brotherhood of steals about, which is 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.640 about order, you know, back east in the Commonwealth. You 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.439 know again, guy like you and me, we can climb 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.079 the ladder, not the clerics. So think about it. Harkness 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.559 Uh basically wants Maximus and him to just like, let's 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.240 just you and I figure out a solution. To this, 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:34.640 and Maximus agrees. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:39.120 He's like, this is a really good plan, and let's 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.720 go on a little adventure together. Back of the Legion camp, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.880 the Gul is like scooting out the situation. He sees 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.640 Lucy on the cross and he's like okay, sees the 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.800 two leaders of the warring factions. 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.320 And it's like this is going to be so easy. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.480 So the girl does some drugs, goes off to get 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.079 help fighting the Legions from none other than the New 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.640 California Republic. He goes to see his friend Victor of 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.760 Robe and the girls like, hey, where the fuck is 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:03.439 Robert House? 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.920 I need him. Victa's like House is gone, He's. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.360 Not here, and the goals like, well, I don't know 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.920 about that, because that bitch had plans for everything. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.199 He ruined my fucking life. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.480 And he's like House definitely had schemes and plans and 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:21.480 plots upon plots. So what do we do? And Rob 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.800 obviously needed this called fusion device, the thing that we 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:25.480 now know. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.959 That the Brotherhood of Steel have. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.120 And there's been talk of this artifact, so it's very 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:36.400 interesting to do. And Victor is essentially like, hey, there's 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.640 some NCR ranges in the hills. Maybe you can use 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.600 them to make your plan, which is not gonna go 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.040 off for them, Sorry to those ranges. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.120 Harkness takes Maximus up in the helicopter and they're flying 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.800 around talking about like what to do. Max is like 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.000 looking at all the Commonwealth hardware and how well it's 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.360 maintained and how cool it is, and he's kind of 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:01.079 blown away and how cool it is. And Harkness makes 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.160 his ultimate pitch, which is like, listen, unless Quintus gives 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.240 us the cold Fusion relic, there's going to be a war, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.640 and that war will entail me shooting at you, you 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.440 shooting at me on the front lines, and nobody wants that. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:21.280 So you know, what do we do? Harkness is basically like, listen, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.439 it's going to be the end of civilization. Unless the 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.160 Commonwealth gets the relic, that's who should have the give 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.320 it to us, Yes, And while they're flying, Harkness picks 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.280 up a signal that is a signal that there are robots, 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.600 sentient robots down there, and that is one of the 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.440 brotherhood of Steels main enemies Ghuls and robots, robots and ghouls, 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.040 and so Harkness is like, what do you think max 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.760 you want to take them down? And Maximus is like 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.080 hell yeah. So they land somewhere to go take out 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:48.720 these robots. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.920 The Ghoul finds the New California Republic and is like, hey, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.640 how's it going, And the funniest thing is they just 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.840 fucking hit him over the head and they're like, we're taking. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:02.280 Him to the camp. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.839 They're like, there's no politeness here, take him to the camp. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.240 And the girls like, you guys look like shit, which 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.400 is you know coming from him? 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:08.800 I love? 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.199 And Captain Malriguez is like, look, there's no fucking back 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.520 up here. There's no other people coming. We've been here 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.280 for ten years, and we want to get our Eastern 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.280 Battalion to come out and help us. Like can you 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.520 help us? And the girls like, first of all, if 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.880 this is the Civil War, you're fucking losing. And if 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.680 you think you're winning, you're losing. Second of all, I 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.360 got my own issues, including finding my family, saving this 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.440 random girl, doing a lot of stuff. And Rodriguez is like, look, 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.600 you can turn the tide. You can do it, and 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.680 girls like well, if you're the last New California Republic, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.960 then maybe you fucking deserve to lose, because there's just 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:45.840 two of you in a camp. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:50.320 Harkness in Maximus in their power armor or Maximus in 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.080 borrowed power armor, go into this building. They're looking for 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.400 the robots. Harkness takes out a super sledge first time 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.520 we've seen a super sledge, I believe, and fallout, which 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.320 is the rocket powered sledgehammer, which I always love to 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.160 use in the game. And they find a robot. They 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:13.720 fucking kill it. They rip out its power supply. Harkness 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.480 is like, hey, Max, you want to try the super sledge. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:20.840 They try to boy at the legionary camp. Lucy is 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.560 like basically barely hanging on. She's likes. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.400 They just tied her up. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.080 The shoulders are coming out of Joina lips of crusty. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.680 She's a llucinating or is she now? 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:37.000 Or she? 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.520 But she's not. The Ghoul is in the camp. He 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.440 goes to see the Kaisar and proposes a trade. He's like, listen, hey, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:45.920 if you give me what I want, I'll give you 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.520 what you want. We don't know what he is offering 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.800 a trade, but it's clear that eventually what he's offering 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:58.360 the Legion is the location of that final NCR bas 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.320 up in the Hills in exchange or Lucy. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.960 In the past, Cooper watches Charlie and Charlie talks about 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.560 the first time he met Cooper during a war with China, 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:09.720 and he's like Cooper was. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.160 Unselfish in a team player. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.840 He tells this story about when he was dragging him 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.040 saving his life and he was covered in burns. Charlie 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.880 looked down at him and the first thing he said 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.320 to Charlie was, how are the other men like? 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:23.400 This is a man who. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.440 Loves his soldiers, He loves his friends, and we see 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.760 that here now where Lucy is cut down. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.480 The gul leads her out of the camp. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.480 As we listen to Charlie's speech about the bitterness of 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.760 war and really he's looking straight at Coop, so this 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:41.080 is really a conversation to him saying, hey man, take 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.520 on the Robert House mission. Also, Charlie gets the award, 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.040 the Bravery Award for the veterans, and it's a memorial 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.360 lighter and he gives it to Cooper and he says, 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.440 hey man, He's like, they gave it to me for 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.800 the one life I saved, but not the three I took, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.040 kind of saying to him, like you can kill Rob House, 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.520 and you can kill somebody who fucking does herves it 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.240 by the way, and. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.840 Then saved millions of lives, and then you know the 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:11.320 ghoul is Basically we cut back to him heading over 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.560 after this emotional moment in the future, and he says 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.560 to Lucy, he's like, look, man, maybe I fucking made 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.600 a mistake saving you. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.720 She's like, thank you. I'm so nice, though, don't you 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.080 love me? And he's and he's like, but. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.840 And I think this is again this kind of implication 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.240 that he's not really going to sell out or try 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.040 to sell out the people that he cares about or 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.760 has relationships with, because he has spotted dynamite on the 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:40.160 way out of the camp and somehow stole the detonator 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.360 or had a detonator on hand because he's an old 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.160 timey Western guy, and rather than letting the Legion get 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.359 to the California New Republic, he starts blowing up the 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.200 dynamite in the middle, setting off this kind of legion 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.879 mini civil war, and they start killing each other, and 0:17:54.960 --> 0:18:02.520 him and Lucy walk off into the dusty sunset. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.840 Harkness and Max they we realize that they're in the 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.920 bottling facility from the cold open and you know, Harkness 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.040 has found like a ghoul child that is hits like 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.320 everybody come out. So he calls for everybody to come 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.160 out and saw all these kids such a nice. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.320 This is fun, Yes, this is. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:20.200 It's gonna be fun. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:26.359 Harkness then begins splitting up the kids into gool group 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.080 and human group, with clearly the intention of killing all 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.840 the ghoul kids. Fattius comes out and is like, hey, 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.160 like I realize I don't have a lot of leverage here. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.240 I don't know a lot of like the stand up, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.320 but like if you could like not kill the kids 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.679 that are guls, that would really be great. Harkness is like, no, 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.199 you guys are all abominations, and like crazy, you're all 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.240 very sweet, this is all very nice in the nice conversation, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.320 but you guys are abominations and so you're all gonna 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.200 have to die. But before he could do that, Max 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.760 hits him in the head with the super sledge absolutely 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.480 when hundred percent killing him. He's dead. Oh man, Max 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:03.480 pops his face plate. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.959 All that Jason, you knew Hawkness was not gonna survive. 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:12.480 No, no, no, Max pops his face plate Thaddeus immediately 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.160 recognizes him and they briefly catch up before Max says, 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.159 oh shit, I accidentally started a war. Let's take a 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:36.560 quick break and come back and talk about this episode. Okay, 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:40.320 we're back. Another very dense episode that throws a lot 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:44.080 of stuff at us. We got the Legionaire's Caesar's legion. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.600 We saw some new California Republic folks that are like 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.600 ten years out from the destruction of Shady Acres, and 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:54.000 the NCR still hanging on somehow in the hills. And 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:58.320 we see the Brotherhood of Steel schism happening, and of 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:03.800 course the untimely death of Harkness. But let me ask 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:09.200 you this one. We talked about it last episode. Whether 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.040 Harkness is a synth, a courser, or a synthetic human? 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.959 Is that the end? Are we going to find out 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:22.120 when Max pulls the sledge out of the helmet of 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:27.320 Harkness's power armor that actually Harkness is a robot? And 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.359 does that mean we're going to see Harkness again? 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.359 That would be hilarious. I could definitely see that. I 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:36.560 think there's two roots. I basically think that if he 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.439 pulls it out and we just kind of move on. 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.679 Then I think that we'll get the surprise reveal later 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:45.360 when at some point Harkness is just there and everyone's 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.760 going to and max is going to be late. 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:47.240 What the fuck? 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.560 Because also that would mean the Brotherhood stills using modern 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.920 technology and using synth and robots and everything, so that'd 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:53.920 be very controversial. 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.240 So or the other option is he pulls it out of. 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:58.600 His head and he sees it as a robot and 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.600 then we kind of unfurl it from there, which I 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.560 think would also probably help him feel less like he 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.720 just started a global world war. 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.240 But I thought that was such a fun, interesting reveal. 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.160 I felt like Kamal's like too big to kill him 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:15.080 like that, but you called it. I was just like 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:20.320 absolutely cheering on Maximus. Obviously, ghoul kids are not abominations 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.679
