1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Thirteen days of Halloween is from grim and mild blum

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: house and I heart three D audio headphones recommended. Listener

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: discretion advised. M M, how do you feel? My head hurts,

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: I'd imagine. Is it bleeding? M No, not very much.

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: It looks as though the sea water washed it mostly cly.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Is it very far to the doctor? I am sorry

7
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: to say that it is a bit of a hike,

8
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: but perhaps we'll be able to flag someone down on

9
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: the road. There are no strangers in dire brook, sat me. Yes,

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: this is the only road into town. Most people come

11
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: and go by boat. The people here all came from

12
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: across the sea, religious outcasts, and the sea is largely

13
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: how we thrive. Our forefathers never trusted society at large

14
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: and this road was one of their very few concessions

15
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: to the government of the colony and later the state.

16
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: It was a grudging concession as well. We have never

17
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: really trusted our neighbors and the building of the original

18
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: road was grueling. Clearing these dense forests was dangerous. The

19
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: marshy ground frequently swallowed up the supply cards and occasionally

20
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: one of the workers with it. Progress comes with sacrifice

21
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: and usually that sacrifice is laid on the weakest of us.

22
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: That's terrible. M Hm. Yes, you may notice that it's

23
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: not particularly well kept. Cracks, potholes, crab grass growing through

24
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: it is foreboding, and that is quite by design. But

25
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: it's still a trade route and, like it or not,

26
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: since the sea quit being kind, it has become something

27
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: of a life long wait, what is it? Speaking of trade,

28
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: here comes one of its advocates. I want you to

29
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: listen to me. He is a good man. His heart,

30
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: at least, is kind. He is troubled, yes, and dangerous

31
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: to the wrong people because of his strange beliefs. He

32
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: is not welcome in town so much as tolerated as

33
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: a necessary evil. He brings us things that we cannot

34
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: get from the ocean. You will try to convert you.

35
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Do not be swayed. It would be polite. Do you understand? Yes,

36
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: of course polite. He likes people. I will be perhaps

37
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: we can at least get a ride into down AH, smile. Why? Mother,

38
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to see you out here on the road. Well,

39
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: we were out for a stroll and ended up going

40
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: a little further than we'd meant to. Ah, yeah, heavens

41
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: all the time. One day I went out for a

42
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: drive and here I am, decades later, still following the boat. Well,

43
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't suppose you ladies need to ride. I thought

44
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: you'd never asked. CLAMB on up, she don't bite. Here

45
00:03:50,880 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: we go. Get yourself situating. Hang on tight, I can

46
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: give you a lift in the town, as long as

47
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: you're not looking for Chit Chat. Nothing personal, friend, I've

48
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: just had my field of other people's opinions. Twenty two

49
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: years hauled and hauled me cross country, with nothing but

50
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: talk radio and the CBE to keep me awake, just

51
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: buried in other people's boom. I bought into all of it.

52
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I think I drink about every flavor of Kool aid.

53
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: There was politics, aliens, coats. I became what you call insufferable.

54
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: My poor wife used to count the days until I

55
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: was back on the road so she could get some

56
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: peace and quiet. UN that's her again. Do me a

57
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: favor you decline on that. This hall has gone way

58
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: longer than I expected, so I'm in it. Deep love

59
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: that woman, but the last thing I want to hear

60
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: right now is the sound of her voice. Hell, I'm

61
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: sick of the sound of my own voice. Spetter. This

62
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: is about all I can staying and listen to anymore.

63
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: KT Y Z the sound of the truth. He can't

64
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: always catch it on the air, but when you do

65
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: it dropped some bombs. There's old Guy Jerry, works at

66
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: a way station out in Colorado. He put a bug

67
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: in my hear about it. Knowing him for years, but

68
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: we're not exactly on the first name basis. I just

69
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: called him Jerry because he's an old ex Hippie burnout type,

70
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: and he calls me J Edgar. The two of US

71
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: have gotten into it every time I passed through there,

72
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: had some bond burnus. It usually ending with him being

73
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: too stoned to remember his point in me telling him

74
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: to get a haircut, sort of like the WHO's on

75
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: first of political discourse. Last time I passed through there, though,

76
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: it was different. Before I could even start up a

77
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: good argument, the son of a bit suck up wants

78
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: me in the gun like I don't know where. So

79
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm doubled over trying to catch my breath and he's

80
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: helping me back into the cab of my truck saying

81
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: you need to man up, J Edgar, you need to

82
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: face the truth of this world. Condescending Bastard. I went

83
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: to take a swing at it, but he somehow managed

84
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: to sidestep and catch me in a choke hold. Just listen,

85
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: he's spat in my ear. Stop talking and listen. If

86
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: you want to know the truth of this world, you

87
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: need to shut up and listen. And he tells me

88
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: about it. This Pirate Radio Station, K T Y Z says,

89
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: when I'm ready, really ready to face it, to turn

90
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: the dial all the way to the left and wait. Maybe,

91
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: just maybe, I'd hear some truth, the truth. And then,

92
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: Calmas Day he let me go and sign my paperwork.

93
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Part of me felt like taking another swing, but instead

94
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: of just made a weak joke about him needing to

95
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: switch dispensaries. It was then that I noticed his eyes,

96
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: not the red eyes of a veteran weed smoker, but

97
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: dry and white. And there was something weird with the

98
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: left one. No Iris, no blue like the right one,

99
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: just all pupil like. His eyes was wide open. Clearly

100
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: he'd hit me harder than I thought. Katy Y C

101
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: give it a listen. Terry shouted all friendly like and

102
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: slaps the side of my cab. It sends me on

103
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: my way. Katie Wi zy the truth and really stuck

104
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: with me. It was like a dad or something from him.

105
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't but a day or two later that I

106
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: found myself fit link with the dolls, hunting around for it.

107
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: My charger had crept out right in the middle of

108
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: a murder podcast, and Patriot Dave's live call in show

109
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: might as well have been a rerun. The white lines

110
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: were getting to me, so I thought. I thought it

111
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: best to find something to keep me awake. I decided,

112
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: what the hell, I'm ready for some of that dad truth. Oh,

113
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Jerry was smoking. I switched to a m flipped it

114
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: all the way to the left. It's been maybe an hour,

115
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: turning the KNOB like a safe cracker, but this, this

116
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: is all I got here it nothing was static right.

117
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: Truth was this static wasn't any more less profound than

118
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: Patriot Dave, whether y'all who's on the C B or

119
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: any of the other crap I glued my ears to

120
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: over the years. And I was and any better, such

121
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: a jackass telling everybody I knew what's what when I

122
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: didn't even know what I was thinking my own damn self.

123
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: So I guess Katie Y Z did show me the truth.

124
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: After all. For the first time in years, I decided

125
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: I ought to let some quiet in and think. asthetic

126
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: faded to a white noise and it was just me

127
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: in the road, in my head for miles and miles.

128
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: And you know what, I realized I didn't have a

129
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: single damn thought going on up there. Like what the

130
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: hell even was I I built a decent enough life,

131
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: bills were paid. An amazing wife those days, but suddenly

132
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm wondering why she was even with me. I mean,

133
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: I've been on cruise control most of my life. was

134
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: there anything in me for her to even care about? How?

135
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: Cause she possibly, you know, she had to be lying

136
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: about loving me. All of us gotta be lying about

137
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: caring about each other, because none of us really know

138
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: what's in there, you know, every one of us, alone

139
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: and unknown, all in our cabs, armed with distractions and

140
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: headed down our own roads, driving from Tucson in the mobile,

141
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: just rolling through all the empty spaces of this world

142
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: and and none of us feeling it, not with anything good.

143
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: There must be something out there waiting to take up

144
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: all that space, something better, older, confined and hungry and

145
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: rightful looking to seep into the cracks of this world.

146
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: And suddenly the radio crackled in the life and a

147
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: warm buzz came across and said you're ready, friendly, you

148
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: are hearing it ready. It woke me up like a slap.

149
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I barely had time to swerve to avoid the media,

150
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: than nearly Jack Knife trying to straighten while scrambling from

151
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: the damn radio. I hit the power and the lights

152
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: of MDAL fizzled off and it was silent. I haven't

153
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: thinking way too much and I was just tired. I

154
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: cracked over an energy drink and tried to get a

155
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: grip and ended up just laughing at myself. I mean,

156
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: what an idiot. I put on my big boy bridges

157
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: and turn the radio back on. Sure, I was a

158
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: little scared of what I was going here, but but

159
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: I think deep down I was more scared of the silence.

160
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: Not to worry, though. A quick switch to satellite and

161
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: there was Patriot Dave ranting out an invite to his

162
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: love of country rally and foaming at the mouth how

163
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: we would need it in St Louis this weekend. Sure, Dave.

164
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: It was a really a surprise when a buzz drowned

165
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: out Dave's signal and then voice came back on and

166
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: said ain't how we would need it to buy it

167
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: make oil under the buzz. Day returned, saying how much

168
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: he loved us all. But now Katie wise was back,

169
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: only it wasn't on the radio, it was in my ear,

170
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: saying got his head, David would sail the whole day

171
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: nation out for profit. God yeay. Hearing that voice off

172
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: the radio ship thrown me shore. But it wasn't wrong

173
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: about old day. In fact, the whole Voice of truth.

174
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: It was kind of funny. Kat Y Z and I

175
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: was still laughing about old Dave a few minutes later,

176
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: as I pulled off the eggs to grab some coffee,

177
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: clearing my head seemed a polite thing to do. Now

178
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: that my head had company over and a new thought

179
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: nagged at me. What should I be doing now? Thought

180
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: of this truth in my head. Careful, I mean, while

181
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: Baba Holding a hundred and twenty slabs of hog meat

182
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: across country in a refrigerated truck, when the rest of

183
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: the hogs get to just walk around out there on

184
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: their own, you know, dressed in people clothes, pretending to

185
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: speak human. Case in point this one tub the Lord

186
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: Long Hauler. I knew Carl was over at the pumps

187
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: next door, gassing up and chatting with a few other

188
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: fine specimens. He waved me over. I could feel the

189
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: truth salivating getting a good look at Carl. Took a

190
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: deep drag off my cigarette to give myself a sec

191
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: then I went to join them. They were talking some

192
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: major crap, college football, the politics of what exactly made

193
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: something a Chalue book, but all that came through was fear,

194
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: fear and Kat y Z. Kat Y Z was broadcasting

195
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: loud and clear in my head. Those Boys Gums flapped

196
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: while it sang out how truly terrified they were. And

197
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: I knew it. Hell, I've always known it. Afraid of

198
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: a world that left them behind, that didn't get the jokes,

199
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't ask for their input, didn't want or need them,

200
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: they didn't even notice if they were there at all,

201
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: and about how they wanted to do something to that world,

202
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: something to make it notice them. The buzzing, the noise

203
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: had become unbearable. I couldn't bear it. Their truth couldn't

204
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: be born, not one minute longer. You need, I sput

205
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: it to him, you need to just shut the hell up,

206
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: shut like idiot children trying for Mommy's attention, like you're

207
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: deserving of something just for being spat out on the ground.

208
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: At last one was good. I didn't even know I

209
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: was gonna say that. They stood there dumb in every

210
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: sense of the word here, if they've been talking for

211
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty minutes and hadn't even noticed I hadn't said a

212
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: word until that moment. Sure, I have been nothing along

213
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: the whole time, but not to them, to the buzz,

214
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: to the voice nodding, to the deafening sound of the

215
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: truth and what had to be done. Get Out of

216
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: this truck. Ye, hell, I was still nodding when that

217
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: snarl came to Carl's lips and I laid him out

218
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: with two quick shots to the gut. Still nodding when

219
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: I pulled the gas pump out of his tank and

220
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: spread regular unlet it all over the lot of them.

221
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: Nodding as I relit my Cigarett it and tossed my

222
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: light up at their feet. The heat sends the back

223
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: of my head on my sprint back to the truck.

224
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: They were probably screaming, but I couldn't hear him. All

225
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: I could hear was the truth buzzing in my skull.

226
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: I swung up into the cab with a little hop

227
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: and drove off and blissful silence. That was three days ago. Jump,

228
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: Oh God, Oh Katie, wise he giving his min sights then.

229
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: No worries, you're safe. You're a good listener and it

230
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: seems like we're developing the same taste in music. Still,

231
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: it's probably best that we part ways before a good

232
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: thing goes wrong. Well, here we are, edge of town.

233
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: We'll walk from here. Thank you. Suit Yourself. Thank you

234
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: for the ride. You remember what you heard here? All right,

235
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: I will. It's pretty good news. I will. Okay, come

236
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: on now, and you you be careful out there. Don't

237
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: need you to got the truth. Oh my side. So

238
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: how is your head? It hurts less, but it feels

239
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: busier somehow. Well, you'll want to avoid radios and televisions

240
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: for a little while until it wears off. Yeah, here

241
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: we are. It isn't much, but it is home, my dear.

242
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: Over the coming hours you'll meet many of the locals.

243
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: Always listen. Listen, because in their stories you will understand

244
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: the truth of this place, and that may lead to

245
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: back to your own truths. Yes, mother, allow me to

246
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: be the first to welcome you to die a brook

247
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: ye tomorrow. On thirteen days of Halloween the town square.

248
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: I'd be careful if I were you walking around by yourself.

249
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: That's when the how should I say it, when the

250
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: more wayward souls tend to go missing. One day, a

251
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: face that is all too familiar is simply gone, like

252
00:18:50,440 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: they were never here at all. Day is of Halloween
