WEBVTT - Episode 5: Woof 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:04.399 The Hookup is a production of iHeart Podcasts, Blumhouse Television, 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:08.160 and Amber twenty. Listener discretion is totally advised. 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:28.320 Okay, Cavin my tale. 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.000 OI, this is all out of order. The werewolf attack 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:41.479 doesn't come until minute twenty. Hang on, Sorry, but context 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.720 here is important. Without the preceding nineteen minutes of drawn 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.720 out diatribes and overshares, the fun werewolf stuff won't make 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.840 any sense. I mean, it probably won't make any sense regardless, 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:52.960 but that guy's gotta try. 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:55.520 Ah. 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.440 The stakeout a staple of any good mystery, or, as 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.800 evident by its appearance in my own little story, a 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.520 staple of potentially bad mysteries too. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:05.760 Just the very. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.160 Conceit of sustained, low key surveillance feels contrary to my 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.160 skill set. I've only been parked across the street from 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.440 the Ludlow Lodge for an hour, and I am already 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:21.200 jumping out of my skin. What what was I saying? 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:22.480 Oh? 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.120 Yeah, the steak out at the Ludlow Lodge. See it 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.880 may not be apparent from my cool and collected demeanor. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.000 Fuck yeah, I found a gum. You weren't under the seat, 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.160 But I'm still a little shaken from the Bellboy and 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.080 conquered the other night. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:38.280 Look. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.840 I knew that threesome would be awkward, but I wasn't 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.160 expecting Bellboy to go berserk and force Matteo to inhale 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.760 his sketchy poppers. I mean, that's the type of kinky 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.440 list on your profile. On top of that, given that 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.480 this is the very same Bellboy who was on duty 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.560 the night Santy disappeared, that makes him my prime suspect, 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:05.720 my only suspect, and suspects do suss things, hence the stakeout. Yeah, 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.960 I gotta say I like metal as much as the 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.680 next guy, not very much, but the notification tone rattles 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.120 me to my core. It's just so grading. I was 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.200 actually chatting with this guy the other day who told 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.040 me I heard the Metal alert sound plays on an 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.520 uncharted frequency. Apparently animals can't even hear it. Say, do 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.840 you like dressing up as animals? So like grain of Salt? 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:30.400 I guess. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.960 And then there's the mystery of the dwindling profiles. I've 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.240 noticed recently that every time I boot up the app, 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.120 there are fewer and fewer guys on. You'd think it's 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.280 just a user exodus to some newer and better hookup app, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.480 but no such app has hit the market. Ooh, this 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.320 guy's cute. He's got kind of intense features, but it works, 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.600 I think if you're into like guys with really intense features. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:03.960 His username is p N Peter P like Portuguese Navy 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:12.080 polynomio public notary. It's probably public notary. His profile says 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.079 he's twenty two, a Cape Town native studying at Crestwick 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.240 for the semester. And then give me a tap for PNP. 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.880 His DM says, Hey, the great day. What's up on 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.080 a top secret recon mission? 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:28.800 You? 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.359 Ugh, nothing that exciting. I just got back from class. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.240 A Crestwick, right, what made you choose our little old institution? 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.120 Well, I always dreamed of coming to a big American international. 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.120 School, So you came to Crestwick. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.840 Oh, I was duped everyone he looks the same. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.680 Yeah, I mean Crestwick's idea of diversity is having a 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.520 Jamba Juice and smoothie king on campus. So yeah, Hey, 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.480 what's pn P stand for. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.520 Party and play? I'm having a few people ever to 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:03.240 kick it and chill. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.520 I like to chill sick. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.400 I'm by the corner of Orange and Ricewood. You know 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:08.920 where that is? 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:14.920 Negatives? Can you drop me a P and. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.160 Pin calculating joke? 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:22.040 Yeah?

It's not like I have anything 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:30.960 else going on tonight, and Matello still won't return my calls. No, no, no, no, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.640 I can't focus, Dame. I need to find Santy. That's 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.919 my top priority right now, not frivolous parties with cute 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:38.599 metal guys. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:44.960 Oh, I'll get it, pe and Pin like p and Peter. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.400 You didn't mention you a funny? 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.800 I mean, okay. On second thought, though, it's not like 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.839 Santy is going anywhere. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:05:08.200 Right arriving at your location on the lamp as. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.040 You said, I guess I'm not sure. I haven't been 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:12.560 here before. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.360 Oh okay, Oh. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.320 Please don't say it. Don't say it. Don't stay safe tonight, bro, 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.320 God damn, they always know. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:26.480 Diamion. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.200 He and Peter Hi? 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.400 Oh, just Peter is fine. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:36.200 Just Peter is fine. No, he's coming towards me. Is 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.480 he going for the hug? The handshake? Dare I even 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.000 think it? The cheek kiss? I'll play it safe and 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.680 choose hug no to me? 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:50.560 Oh whoa a hug.

Oh here I brought pretzels. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.320 Why why? 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.640 I mean, it just seemed like the thing to do. 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.800 I didn't want to show up to a party empty handed. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.720 Oh you die, You are Fuddy Cove. The others are 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:38.200 redly the kitchen Elias big Top. This is danging. 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:44.440 Oh shit, it's big Top, my chiropractor, Comrade Damien Jesus Christ, 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:50.400 the runaway bottom who lots too unpack about that statement? 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.640 How are you a big top? 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:54.960 You mean since you snuck out while I was in 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.400 the shower and blocked me on metal. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:57.240 I'm great. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.000 Thanks, that's a relief. I thought you'd be mad. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.040 Watch it had a hell of a day, and the 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.560 last thing I need is you stalking. 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.040 So funny he brings that up. See as it relates 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.240 to stalking Big Top, it might be prudent to jump 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.160 back to this morning's stakeout for a sec. Tired of 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.800 my fruitless surveillance mission, I was just about to call 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.880 it quits for the day. Oh when I saw it? 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.440 Hold up, I'd had my camera trained on the third 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.360 floor outside bell boys room, but suddenly I'm drawn to movement. 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.840 A few floors up, a door opening, a door marked 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.840 six one six. Since being the sight of Santy's disappearance, 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.080 that room has become the residence of the not so gentle, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.240 not so giant, known to the metal community as Big Top. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.960 And now someone's coming out of that apartment. A girl 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:54.720 didn't expect that, A friend, a sister, a patient. Oh yikes. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.520 In light of the goodbye ass grab, I'm hoping none 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:02.000 of the above is Big Talk into women too. I 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.120 thought he was gay, but I mean maybe he's just 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:09.080 not into labels, which is cool. Af sexuality isn't all 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.040 black and white and shit. See, I'm hip, I'm forward thinking. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.200 I learned everything I know about identity politics from radicalized 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:21.440 high schoolers on TikTok. Wait. No, Big Top literally labeled 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:26.880 himself as gay. Hmm, okay, well I'm still super progressive 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:27.240 and cool. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.920 Sorry, you two have history. I'm getting another drink. 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.280 It feels like I'll need it. 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.079 Damien, this is Elias. Any bad blood here I should 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.560 know about Elias. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.120 What to say about Elias? You know he has a 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.439 kind of children of the Corn energy about him. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.800 No bad blood to speak of. Nice to meet you, Damien. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.800 Ah, that must be the final guest. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:01.720 Oh, no fifth voice to try and distinguish. Okay, new plan. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.720 Alias seems to have a little cold, so let's just 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.880 crank that up a bit to set him apart. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:15.440 No bad blood to speak of, I mean better, Ah, 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.160 that must be the final guest. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.079 So we've got Elias who sounds like a sickly Victorian child, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:28.000 Peter with the Afrikaans accent, oh la cravra, big top, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.360 who talks like he's always trying to locate his last 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:30.880 brain cell. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.920 I do not resort to add hominems. 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.880 What else did that baby dick say about me? 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.719 And then whoever this final guest is? With any luck, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.640 he'll have a lisp beer. Oh thanks, Elias, I was 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.040 just thinking how nice a beer would be. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.079 I know you were. I'm an EmPATH. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:50.040 Oh. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.200 I know it sounds a little nutty, but it's true. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.800 I can feel for other. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:03.440 People, right right? Wouldn't that just be like empathy? Though 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.400 I think we all sort of have that. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.640 You know, it is different impaths can sense people's. 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:15.000 Energies, right right, A hot take. But what if I 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.599 told you people don't have energies, they just have like personalities. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.200 Well, whatever you want to call it, yours is cynical. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.040 That's we can agree on. Do you go to Creustwick? 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:33.040 Yeah, I'm a senior double major in medical science and chemistry. 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.120 Chemistry.

Yeah. 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.320 I've tried the hookup before, Big Top you too? 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:50.920 Yeah, so what. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.200 I found someone cutter than you and he offered? 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.719 Did he like try to kill you afterwards? 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.200 Dude? What is your problem? 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:58.319 Anyway? 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.720 This spottle of the hook cup goes to tonight's winner. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:07.200 Fuck yeah, the Teo is obsessed with the hook up, 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.520 but he can't be like addicted, right, I mean, you 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.040 don't get addicted to poppers like this, and yet his 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:21.400 eyes are bulging like he needs them. I don't trust 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.080 those paupers, and I don't trust the control they have 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.840 over him. I need to win Peter's game and keep 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.360 the hook up away from Mateo. I owe him that much. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.160 Maybe this is how I boil the centipede. Fine, count 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.120 me in what are we playing. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.560 Well, it's a little social deduction game, as anyone he 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.960 played Werewolf. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.120 Werewolf, I've paid that. We call that mafia back home, 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.280 But it's the same principle. One person is secretly assigned 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.760 the role of werewolf and has to avoid being detected 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.720 by the rest of the group, who are assigned the 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:13.960 roles of innocent. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:17.720 Villagers. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.880 Oh, I know this game. Every turn has has a 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.320 day and night cycle, right, and then during the day 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.360 everyone tries to suss out who the werewolf is. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.040 M The day cycle ends once the group reaches a 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.680 majority consensus on who they believe to be the werewolf, 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.240 at which time the accused player is eliminated but bye. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.080 But if the group votes incorrectly, the werewolf may choose 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.040 one player to mauld to death. During the following night's cycle, 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.440 this repeats onto the werewolf has either being correctly identified 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.360 and eliminated, or the werewolf overtakes the final villager. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.760 So it's like Survivor, except if you vote out the 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.840 wrong person at tribal council you get mauld. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.280 Yeah. I've never watched it, but sure. Anyway, there's one 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.280 more variable, though, one more in addition to the werewolf 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:10.240 and the Villagers is a third row, the Oracle. Before 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.440 each round, the oracle may select one player to investigate 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.800 and will learn whether said player is wear Wolf or Villager. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.040 I don't need ESP to detect the Damien's are simply 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:20.680 little furry. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.760 I am gonna pm pound your face in big top 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:24.880 boys place. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:29.440 Please, Mattia, could you hand me my ipado? 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.720 This is gonna be chaos. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.480 Okay, pass it around and then put your name. The 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.280 app will randomly assign your role and they can be 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.640 only one Werewolf. Oh bummer, Damien. 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.920 I'm sure you would have enjoyed getting spit roasted by them. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.000 I let that one slide, because honestly, he's not wrong. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.560 Werewolf the game founded on the tenets of distrust and betrayal. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.840 You'd think this would be a source of anxiety for me. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.600 Here you go, dam But the truth is where Wolf 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.719 is my game. If anyone had stopped to think about it, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.680 they'd realize how perfectly suited I am for this. Mitteo would, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:17.480 Doctor Wiley, would Santy would? Because I'm a liar, I'd 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.720 bend the truth to serve my needs, and I've betrayed 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.760 countless people in the process. I'm not proud of it, 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:27.000 but I don't deny it. Yep, there's a tiny silver 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.320 lining to this personality flaw, a very niche scenario in 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:35.080 which I hold the advantage. Damian, You have been assigned 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:40.720 the role of werewolf, and this is that scenario. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:42.040 Day one. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.160 Begin all right, gang, we are ready to begin. I'll 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:51.840 read the intro m. The year is fourteen forty five. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.440 Gutenberg has just invented the printing press, and already people 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.040 are committing to zoom book clubs. They'll only join once. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.080 Running low on witches and gay to burn, the clergy 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.320 folk have set their sights on a new peril lurking 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:03.840 in the umber. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:05.359 The werewolf? 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.160 Is that actually what it says? 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:13.240 Sh Still, you've never actually seen this fabled beast with 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.880 your own two eyes, and you think to yourself, oh, 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.840 this werewolf prattle tis nothing more than the drunken ramblings 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.160 of the village sought, which reminds you where did your 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:26.199 dallying farmhand run off to? Alas you sigh, heading off 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.520 to the barnyard to check on the chickens. Chickens, you 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.439 call a pray, Tell have you seen? I'm sorry, what 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:37.920 is that accent? But you stop gasp and clut your 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.440 pounding heart, for all of the chickens have been killed. 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.440 Nay mauled. 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.280 You gather in the town square to share the horrid 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.720 news with the other villagers, and it's not long before 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.960 you reach a consensus. There's a werewolf in our midst. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:55.000 I think Damien's the werewolf. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.240 What Big Top value entitled to vote? However you please? 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.920 I encol you to accuse people based on logic rather 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:08.160 than emotion, like would the oracle please make themselves known? 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:09.199 Me? 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.600 I'm the oracle, and I checked Elias's identity. 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:17.520 He's a villager, So Mateo is the oracle. Huh, this 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.440 will be more fun than I thought. Wait wait what no, no, no, 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.879 I'm the oracle. Guys, wait there are two oracles. 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.320 No one of them is lying. 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:30.040 Damian. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.800 If you're the oracle, who did you investigate. 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:39.879 Any menie mine? Big Top and I learned he's a werewolf. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:41.240 I am not a werewolf. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:42.480 That that's a goddamn liar. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:42.679 Right. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.719 You know I'm gonna turn your energy into your outerge. 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:50.160 You'll brunt see were wolf. I'm officially casting my vote 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:50.680 for Big Top. 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:56.960 Relax, Big Top. This is how the game is played Elias, Uh, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.000 I can see your gears turning anything. 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.720 Well, based on what we currently know, it's probable that 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.879 one of the alleged oracles, Damien or Matteo, is the werewolf. 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.000 Well that's a fat lot of help. 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:13.200 I wasn't finished. 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:14.280 Hmmm. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:19.879 Regardless, there's a fifty percent chance that Damien is legit 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.920 and correctly declared Big Top the werewolf, So it would 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.120 behoove us to vote Big Top out rather than risk 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:27.520 eliminating the true oracle. 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:28.919 I'm wet. 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.920 What screw that man, I'm officially locking in my vote. 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:33.960 I vote Damien. 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.000 Yeah, I vote Damien too. I've learned it's generally safer 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:39.680 to assume he's lying. 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.400 Fair enough, but I'm abouting Big Top. 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:46.639 What are you fucking kidding me? 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.880 I just fucked up so bad, but none of them 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.080 seem to have noticed. See when I declared Big Top 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.600 of the werewolf and then he was proven to be 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.760 a villager, that definitely makes me the fake oracle. But 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.560 if I can just you know, keep tensions high enough 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.040 to make everyone fight with each other on a personal level, 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.200 then I won't have to worry about anything. 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.119 Which leaves us tied at two votes for Damien and 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.760 two votes for Big Top Elias. Would you care to 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:14.720 break the tie? 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.840 And que and passioned plea for Matteo in three two. 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:21.680 Calm on, Elias. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:22.919 You know I'm legit. 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:24.560 I declared you a villager. 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.920 If I was Awarewolf, I would have lied and said 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.560 you were awarewof to divert. 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.960 The blame unless you wanted us to think that. 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:34.240 Well, I have no idea what's going on. 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.439 I shoot Elias the tiniest smile. He shoots me the 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.560 tiniest smile back, and my strategy is working. If I 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.960 can get Alias thinking with a different organ than his head, 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.080 I may have a shot at pulling this off. And 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.479 yes it's fine. I also want to make Mateo jealous. 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.240 Okay, sir Elias, what do you say? 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.400 Sorry to PN pile on, but I vote Big. 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.960 Top, you little fucking comm napkin. 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.080 I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to Night. 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:08.440 One begin Werewolf.

Killing Matteo at this 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.920 point would implicate me, and I don't want to kill 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.600 Elias yet. For no other reason than my desire to 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.640 see him smile, which only leaves. 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.439 Day two, final round begin. 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.800 So you gather in the village square, only to discover 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.440 the barely recognizable viscera of Peter. 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.240 Oh hell, which. 0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:43.080 Just leaves myself, Matteo and Elias. 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.160 Can we hurry this up?
