00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: The Hookup is a production of iHeart Podcasts, Blumhouse Television

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: and Amber twenty. Listener discretion is totally advised.

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: Love the Lutch concierge. Yeah, the ice machine on the

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: sixth floor. Can you send someone?

5
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: Oh I love you too, Princess.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm coming home real soon. No, No, of course,

7
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: Mommy and I still love each other. Mommy's just a

8
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 4: little upset at Daddy right now because.

9
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: Oh, she told you that. Well, that's not completely true.

10
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: It's nope, no, Princess, it's pronounced autoerotic asphyxiation.

11
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: October six, twenty twenty three, perhaps better known as the

12
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: night Santy disappeared, and exactly one year ago today, Well, well,

13
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: Santy must have been referring to my unblemished maidenhood, or,

14
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: as of that very moment, a recent lack thereof, I mean,

15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: at least as far as he knew. Truth was, when

16
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Santy and I were on hiatus a couple weeks prior,

17
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I had sex with someone else, Wade, which not great,

18
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: I know, but the whole thing was incited by Santy's

19
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: refusal to be exclusive with me. So it's not like

20
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: I did anything wrong, right, It's just now that Santy

21
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: and I were back together, and this time exclusively. I

22
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna let Wade ruin.

23
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 3: It anyone home.

24
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, what'd you say?

25
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: I asked? If you feel any different?

26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I always feel different.

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: I'm gonna grab eyes for the champagne. Why don't you

28
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: get showered here, Sticky, it's your stick.

29
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: I would very shortly come to regret that my last

30
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: words to Santy were it's your stick. A lot of

31
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: regrets stemmed from that moment, actually see as traumatic missing

32
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: persons events tend to do. That night at the Ludlow

33
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Lodge set off a chain reaction of bad shit, the

34
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: first Domino and a Rube Goldberg of self sabotage and shame.

35
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: This entire hunt for Santy has been one depraved act

36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: after another. No lie nor betrayal is off limits. So

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I wonder sometimes if that night had played out differently,

38
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: and I was there to help Santy when whatever happened happened,

39
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: would I still have become this person I'm ashamed of?

40
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: I used to think not right up until earlier today,

41
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: when Wade mentioned something that I'm shocked and embarrassed, I

42
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: didn't already know it was the whole crab mentality thing,

43
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: the idea that crabs sabotage each other escaping from a bucket.

44
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: You know, if I can't be happy, no one can.

45
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: Wade was right by the way I exercised crab mentality

46
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: on the regular, And then that reminds me of something else,

47
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: something that I declare with great woe is the final

48
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: arthropodic wisdom. I have to impart. Everyone eventually becomes a crab.

49
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: Uh huh, you should panic.

50
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 6: The term carsonization was coined in the early twentieth century

51
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 6: to describe the natural tendency for sea specimens to evolve

52
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 6: into crabs. Indeed, biologists have traced the origin of many

53
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 6: existing crab species back to entirely different crustaceans, begging the

54
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 6: question why to crabs hold the key to some evolutionary advantage?

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Full disclosure. I was like ten when I saw that

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: nature special so grain of salt.

57
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 6: Damien, your parents both love you, and you weren't the

58
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 6: cause of their divorce at all.

59
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure I'm remember incorrectly. Anyway. The point is,

60
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: my crab mentality was not born from what happened to

61
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: Satya that night, but rather it was the evolutionary role.

62
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 1: I was born to play the role. We're all born

63
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: to play. See. We can try to be other things, detectives,

64
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: were wolves, lovers, but it will always come to an end,

65
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: because everything comes to an end. And when it does,

66
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: when that post coital glow has faded, and that lingering

67
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: popper's head rush becomes a headache, you can finally see

68
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: things for how they are. It isn't love, it isn't purpose,

69
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: it's not even truth.

70
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: It's just.

71
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: A hookup. And as I was about to learn, no

72
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad.

73
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 7: Right.

74
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, ah, yes, the hookup brewery.

75
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 8: What are you all doing?

76
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: He's getting away, I said, fatties him. The hookup. Water flooding.

77
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: The factory has risen almost to my neck, and I

78
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: can't see a ton except Santy. A sheet of metal

79
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: drifts between us, resetting my view.

80
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 8: Not Sandy Mittello, David, It's okay. I've got you up here. Wait,

81
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 8: help us up.

82
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: Take my hand.

83
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 9: I'll hoist you guys over the railing Miteo, come on,

84
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 9: thanks shit Sandy.

85
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 8: Nope, not Santy Wade.

86
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: This is Matteo.

87
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 8: Hold agg sit.

88
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: You look just like Sandy.

89
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard Pa, Teo and Wade in the same room.

90
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: It's not something I ever expected or wanted.

91
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: What's going on? Where are we.

92
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: A bridged version? This is where they manufacture the hookup.

93
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Someone knocked over the popper brewing tanks which are flooding

94
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: the facility.

95
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 8: Here Masca.

96
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: Oh and remember Elias fum werewolf. He is the mastermind

97
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: behind this all. Also like a werewolf. I use the

98
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: metal notification sound to shake you all from the hive

99
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: minds influence. Excuse me, the polycules influence Minni Gerkin, Charcuterie

100
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: whore for twenty.

101
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: Why are you liking them? That's right?

102
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 5: Something about the metal alert tone disrupts the polycules neural link.

103
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 3: Dimo help me.

104
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 8: It's PM Peter.

105
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Look on the opposite ledge and he's with the guy

106
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: from the campus Chipotle too.

107
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 8: The Chipotle guy is gay.

108
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: I knew it.

109
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: Wait, are you good to round up the rest of

110
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: the goons and them out through the labyrinths?

111
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 3: Copy that what I'm not leaving.

112
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 8: Mateo, do do not do the.

113
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but this lucid moment you're having it's fleeting,

114
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: remember right.

115
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 5: It's safer for everyone if we're not here. When we

116
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: revert unless unless unless you make.

117
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: It so, we don't.

118
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: I crane my neck upwards to the catwalk, following Matteo's gaze.

119
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: A Lie is still strapped into the hook.

120
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: Up neural gateway.

121
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: The neural gateway device, it's what allows Alias.

122
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: To control us. Mateo, come on, we have to move.

123
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: And Matteo, I meant what I said before.

124
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: I am gonna find a way.

125
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: To reverse this. I know you believe you will.

126
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: I didn't want to hurt Matteo's feelings, but destroying the

127
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Hive mind control console was kind of a given, Elias.

128
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: You can't get unstrapped without your polycule man servants.

129
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 8: Kind of a design thought.

130
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: Don't you think?

131
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: What did you do to them? Why won't they listen

132
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: to me?

133
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: You don't know all this how the Metal Alert temporarily

134
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: frees the goons from your influence. It doesn't turn them

135
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: gay again, but it makes them autonomous briefly, Metal the

136
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: dating app. You're not really behind this? Are you not alone?

137
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: Anyway?

138
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 8: I'm not telling you shit?

139
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 7: Hurst right?

140
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 9: Right?

141
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 1: So then if something were to happen to your entire

142
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: supply of the hookup, that'd be fine for you. There's

143
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: no one you say answer to the only reason I

144
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: ask is I've been doing a lot of Popper's research lately, understandably,

145
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: and I've learned that the primary components alkol nitrate is

146
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: extremely flammable. So if I were to just, for example,

147
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: drop this lighter down into that flooding popper water.

148
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: God do that? You have no idea what they'll do

149
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: to you.

150
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Oh you think you've seen horrors here in your.

151
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: Little town, Well use flash boyo, Ludlow Hills.

152
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 10: Is only the trial run.

153
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: I didn't exceeded expectations.

154
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 8: Who is they? Do you mean the ashcroft In lit Foundation?

155
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: Miasthma, my asthma, That's what they're really called.

156
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 10: Ashcroft In That is a shell up front to gain

157
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 10: access to.

158
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Students like me, students to oversee the BATA rollout of

159
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the hook.

160
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 8: Up students like you and Santy.

161
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: You like a dog with a bow, and boyo, Santi,

162
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: there's Santy that maybe Santi shouldn't have asked so many questions.

163
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 9: Oh you beat me up a you like they are

164
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 9: gonna turn your insides into your outside.

165
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 8: Okay, this has been fir.

166
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: No, no no, no, no, no, no, don't do that.

167
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: Damen Damien, Damien I will fucking flatten you.

168
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: You're cute when you're flustered. WHOA wasn't fully expecting that

169
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: to work?

170
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 7: No, No, this isn't harrow is supposed to be.

171
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: This isn't what I meant about that pathetic. This is

172
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: the man behind the curtain, the guy who killed Santy

173
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: to win the miasma grant, the dude who have distributed

174
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: conversion mind controlled drugs throughout Ludlow Hills. He looks so

175
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: a not small enough. You know, earlier, when I was

176
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: buying this bottle of the hookup, I had to purchase

177
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: another item to get the bottle free, so I grabbed

178
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: the nearest thing, which just happened to be this red

179
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: silicone ball gag. Yeah, get wait for me, get away

180
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: from me.

181
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: Better wrap this up anyway. I'm glad I got the

182
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: larger size gag.

183
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: I doubt the smaller one would completely block air flor

184
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: to your metas.

185
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 7: Alright, and that's my cue.

186
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: But but what happens when a crab does escape? This

187
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: whole tired metaphor rests on the status quo of no

188
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: crab ever letting another out. But if somehow one of

189
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: them does get to freedom, well then what does he

190
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: scutter away and leave the crabs and the bucket to

191
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: their miserable cycle of fate. No, he doesn't, come on,

192
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: don't need you choking on your own tongue.

193
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 10: What's going on?

194
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting us out of here before the building collapses.

195
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 8: You might be a murderer, Elias, but I am not.

196
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: I'm so confused. Whoa, whoa? But oh my head, I'm

197
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: I always wondered what the cup felt like?

198
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: And what's the verdict?

199
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: I'm not worth to come down.

200
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: Maybe everyone does eventually become a crab, but that doesn't

201
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: mean we stay crabs forever.

202
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 7: Now.

203
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the Nature Special left that part out for

204
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: some people. Maybe this hardened crab mentality is the end

205
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: of evolutionary road. But I'm not some people, and I'm

206
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: not done evolving. With all this behind me, I might

207
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: become a prawn or a krill, or heck, maybe in

208
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: a top.

209
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: What are we doing, Damien.

210
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: End of the line. I wasn't about to let you

211
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: burn in there, but you're still gonna answer for all this.

212
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: So shame though, shower time in prison is going to

213
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: be so much less enjoyable.

214
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 10: Now, Damien.

215
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Please come back.

216
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: Demian.

217
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I'll always have a little crab in me

218
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: when you boil it down. There are really only two

219
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: types of people. There's the ones who unpack their clothes

220
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: into the hotel room drawers when they arrive, and there's

221
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the ones who live out of a suitcase. I'd always

222
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: been the latter, mostly because the shit I've gone through

223
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: has been well a lot to unpack. But in the

224
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: spirit of what doctor Wiley calls healthy coping strategies, and

225
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: with a full two weeks of process, I think it's

226
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: finally time to unpack. Last year, Elias and Santi became

227
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: unwitting pawns and a conversion popper scheme run by the

228
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: elusive Miasma Corporation, although it may be more accurate to

229
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: call Elias a witting pawn. Ensuring he'd received the research grant.

230
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: After graduation, Elias killed his only competitor, Santy. That feels

231
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: really extreme, but I guess when you factor in Elias's

232
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: other quirks.

233
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 10: I didn't agree to.

234
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 8: Make the hookup because I hate being gay.

235
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: I did it to be the only.

236
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: Gay what it makes a little more sense. Santy stood

237
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: between Elias and his ambition on the topic of elias.

238
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't totally know the latest there. Last I heard

239
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: he's being charged for something arson adjacent, but any evidence

240
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: of the hookup was destroyed in the fire or removed

241
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: from it. Ah, here's a detail I may want to

242
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: iron out before I tuck it away. Santi specifically, where

243
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: is he? Where is his body? Some detective work hunt.

244
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: And yes, I know the elephant in the room is

245
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: my asthma Core, the mysterious organization behind the Ashcroft Inlet

246
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Foundation and by extension, the hook on them. Unsurprisingly, there's

247
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: nothing about them online, and I'm working on digging deeper,

248
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: but really it's not a top priority right now. I

249
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: just can't keep putting myself in danger, not for Santy,

250
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: not for anyone. I used to think he needed me,

251
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: that I was Santy's only chance of rescue, but that

252
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: was never the case. I mean, without this mystery to

253
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: consume me, all I'd be left with this past year

254
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: was the remaining men in my life, which is a

255
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: historically grim demographic. I mean, even now, take Mateo, even

256
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: though he's been hive, mind free and completely autonomous since

257
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: I incinerated the link up device, sexuality didn't revert back

258
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Like all the other former goons, Mateo is still straight. Also,

259
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: like the other former goons, Mateo doesn't talk to me much.

260
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: I did see him yesterday at the library. I would

261
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: have said hi.

262
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: Except.

263
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Intermediate Marine Science, Advanced Seismic Oceanography, seaweed and other aquatic

264
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: jump scares.

265
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 10: No. I'm serious, Mateo.

266
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 7: I didn't know when you asked me to hang if

267
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 7: it was just like a study aid or.

268
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: A day daid. Matteo was with a girl my freshman

269
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: year Ra Actually Meg.

270
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: Honestly I wasn't sure either. But something about you, Meg,

271
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: You're an enigma, like.

272
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: The thing you used to clean out your butt.

273
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: Do you hear something?

274
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: P and Peter finished his semester at Crestwick and returned

275
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: to Cape Town. Shockingly, he doesn't keep in touch. Prize

276
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: be to good getting me out of that Hellescype Town.

277
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: One former hookup goon doesn't hate me at.

278
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 11: Least save me in Come in, come in, Hey, thanks

279
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 11: for meeting me here.

280
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

281
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 8: Not at all.

282
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: I love the Ludlow Lodge, great memories here fire. If anything,

283
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: bell Boy has been quite apologetic. I keep telling him

284
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: it's fine.

285
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 11: He wasn't himself which is why I feel like this

286
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 11: could be like a great opportunity to start fresh, you know,

287
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 11: new sexuality, new me, and soon new apartment.

288
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: Ah, hence the boxes. Yeah, I'm donating most of it.

289
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 11: So if you want anything from the gay stuff pile,

290
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 11: feel free.

291
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll bite come again the gay stuff pile.

292
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 11: Well yeah, I mean, since the hookup turn me straight,

293
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 11: I don't have any use for my gay shit.

294
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 7: Have a look if you want mmm.

295
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: Mmmm mm hm oh yeah I should.

296
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: That's gay. Hey I remember these you're tossing your medieval

297
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: weapons boxer briefs.

298
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty kay right.

299
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 11: Besides, they're not even mine. Some dude left them here

300
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 11: after we screwed a while back.

301
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: Jesus you kept them.

302
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 11: They've got battle access Bro.

303
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Really though, I've started to think bell Boy only apologizes

304
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: so much and hopes it'll reciprocate and apologize for stabbing

305
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: him with a starfish, which I won't.

306
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 11: I just like really value the value of an apology,

307
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 11: you know. I mean, I'm falling down these sorry so

308
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 11: you can heal apologies, help us heal, Bro.

309
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: The thing is I kind of have been healing. I

310
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: mean it could be thanks to Bell Boy's apologies, but

311
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely something else, Doctor Wiley. I

312
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: haven't been honest. Oh yes, the truth is that guy

313
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: Santi I told you about.

314
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 8: We didn't break up like I said, he went missing.

315
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: Yes, I know, hhmm, Damien, it's a small town. Of course,

316
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 4: I knew about the Crestwick student named Santi who went

317
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 4: missing exactly when you said your Saunty broke up with you.

318
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 8: So all this time you were just, oh my god.

319
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: Do you want to try this again from the.

320
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: Top, And so I did. I finally told doctor Wiley everything,

321
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: and this time just the facts. The villagers gathered in

322
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: the town square, drenched in the blood of their massacred

323
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: chickens werewolf. The town crier screams. That's kind of been

324
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: the motif of the month. Truth. Like I said earlier,

325
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: this entire half baked investigation has really just been a

326
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: series of lies and deceptions. Every step I've taken and

327
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: every man I've touched has been a means to an end,

328
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: simply an undercover's mission to gather intel. Until now, See,

329
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: there is this one guy who makes opening up and

330
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: being honest feel really doable, and despite my crippling fears,

331
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: the real Damien Hurst hasn't deterred him yet. So who

332
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: is this mystery? Gentleman I've been seeing?

333
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: Why are you going through my drawers?

334
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 8: Wait?

335
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: Honestly, the drawers are an accidental prop I was using

336
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: in a mental metaphor to work through my thoughts.

337
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: You should have just said you're sniffing my underwear. It

338
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: would have been less weird. Although if I were a

339
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 3: big shot Veronica Martian tier detective like you, babe, I'd

340
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: probably have a lot to work through too.

341
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: Not even what do you mean? Well, I didn't really

342
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: solve anything, did I? I mean we only found the

343
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: brewery because of the ads Metal was sending me. I

344
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: never figured out why the metal alert sound temporarily disrupts

345
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: the polycule's influence. Honestly, what part of this did I solve?

346
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: What if I'm just not a good detective at my core?

347
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just not cut out to be an investigative journalist.

348
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: I always thought it was obvious you're Scooby. You don't

349
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: have to set the traps or make the plans. You

350
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: just have to derail them until you, in some roundabout way,

351
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: arrive at the right conclusion.

352
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm on the fence about that comment.

353
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: Hey, since you seem to know your way around my dresser,

354
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: can you grab me a pair of boxers? We're gonna

355
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: be late for the game.

356
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: I'll bet you head the Crustaceans lose again.

357
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 3: I planned on getting head from you tonight either way,

358
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: but sure deal, bib Oh, and will you click on

359
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 3: the electric kettle too, it's gonna be a rama night.

360
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: Careful you don't trip on the cord.

361
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: I know my credibility takes a hit when I end

362
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: up dating guys that I previously declared the Antichrist. But

363
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: maybe I misjudge waited first, or maybe my initial assessment

364
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: was correct and I've since gotten worse and met him

365
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: at his level. Either way, I think he makes me happy.

366
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: These underwear which ones? Oh, medieval castles get your voice?

367
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: If you like the medieval theme, there should be a

368
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: pair with knights in there too. There used to be

369
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: a third pair in the set.

370
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: With medieval weapons print.

371
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think I left them at a guy's place.

372
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Though, if Wade and bell Boy were at any point

373
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: hooking up, then isn't it possible it was Wade who

374
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: left the medieval weapons boxer briefs at bell Boy's place?

375
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: And even though bell Boy had an alibi at the

376
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: time of the disappearance, an accomplice could still have used

377
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: his motel employee perks to pull off the murder. Perks

378
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: like precise knowledge of the building CCTV dead zones, dang

379
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: you good. Perks like access to the normally locked dumb waiter, which,

380
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: if we trust the vision MATEO pulled from the polycule,

381
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: we know Santi's body was at some point stored inside.

382
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: May perks like keys to our Oh it was you, Wade,

383
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: you killed Santy.

384
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: I deny it, but I don't want to keep lying

385
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: to you. Hey, hey, you're okay.

386
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 8: Don't touch me.

387
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: How did you know?

388
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Are you working for my asthma?

389
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: No? I really don't know anything about them.

390
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Oh really, I'm supposed to believe you just killed Santy

391
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: in a crime of passion.

392
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: I liked Santi, I really really liked him, and I

393
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 3: knew that he didn't feel the same. I used to

394
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 3: wonder if maybe he was just the type of person

395
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 3: who didn't show his feelings until he met you, and

396
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: then I saw in his eyes, just from the few

397
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 3: times he mentioned Damien Hurst, that he really really liked you. Granted,

398
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: I also got that message when he broke things off

399
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: with me.

400
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: So a few days later you followed him to the

401
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Ludlow Lodge to kill him.

402
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: No, I was already there that night with Bell Boy.

403
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: He had access to vacant rooms, so sometimes he'd DM

404
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: me and I'd come over.

405
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: Of course he would.

406
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: I didn't want you to ever know this, s Damien.

407
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: It was before I really knew you and fell in love.

408
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: Just just tell me what happened that night.

409
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: On top of Santhi's rejection, I was licking my wounds

410
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: from being outed only days earlier. So when I got

411
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: the booty called to meet bell Boy at Ludlow Lodge,

412
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: it came as a much needed distraction. But as luck

413
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: would have it.

414
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna grab ice for the champagne. Why don't you

415
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 5: get showered? You're sticky.

416
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: You gotta be fucking joking. Wait, what are you doing here? Hi, Santiago,

417
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: Nice to see you too. Are you drunk?

418
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 7: Wow?

419
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: You should be in a detective story. You're blocking the

420
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: ice machine. Ice ice for champagne?

421
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 6: Right?

422
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: Did you? And Damien? Finally, what do you want?

423
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 10: Wade?

424
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 3: What do I want? A goddamn second of your time?

425
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: Is that okay? Like I was saying. I don't know

426
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 3: if he's told you, but Damien's not as unsullied as

427
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: he was was. I would know because I was there.

428
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: You might even say I was there first. Yeah, your

429
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: precious SANTHI drew first blood. Get off me. What the

430
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: fuck you need to cool down something?

431
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: You slammed Santy's face into the ice machine? What the fuck? Wade?

432
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: I just wanted him to snap out of it and

433
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: stop hitting me. I didn't think anything bad would happen

434
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 3: to him, that it's just ice. Hey, Santi, you're awake.

435
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 7: Shit.

436
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: I opened the ice hatch to get a better look, but.

437
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: There was no ice. The machine was broken that night,

438
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: So when you shoved Santy and the ice machine to

439
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: cool down and knocked him out, he wasn't resting on

440
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: a pile of ice.

441
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: The ice had melted. He was face down in a

442
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: puddle of water. Sonny, Sandy, Sonny. When I realized what

443
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: I'd done, I called the nearest person I could think for.

444
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Help, bell Boy, And knowing I'd come looking for Santy soon,

445
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: you must have figured you didn't have enough time to

446
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: come up with a permanent body disposal plan. But with

447
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: bell Boy's key ring you could quickly access the derelict

448
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: dumbwaiter for a temporary storage. How did you convince balboy

449
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: to help you cover up a murder?

450
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: I'm not proud of it, but I took advantage of

451
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: his panic.

452
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 9: Fuck Belboy, your fingerprints are everywhere.

453
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: You're gonna get the electricure so hard if anyone finds

454
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: out about this wow arming.

455
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: Then, after stuffing Santy's body in the chute, bell Boy

456
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: loft it back up into its rusted, seemingly untouched position.

457
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: Since the Ludlow County PD couldn't find any signs of

458
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: fel play, I had no trouble coming back the next

459
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: day to retrieve the body. Ah, but you still can't

460
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: figure out where I ultimately disposed of him. After that.

461
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 3: You're gonna kick yourself for not getting this one. I didn't.

462
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 3: I didn't dispose of Santi's body. When I came back

463
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: the next day, I noticed the ice machine was back

464
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 3: up and running, and I used a similar one of

465
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: those big industrial types before at a bust Boy gig,

466
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: so I knew exactly how deceptively deep the ice beacing goes.

467
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: You mean Santy is still there? No, No, there's no way.

468
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean they would have discovered his body during the renovation.

469
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: I was worried about that too, but thanks to cheap landlords,

470
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 3: the ice machines remained untouched. You can see for yourself.

471
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: Just not right now.

472
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 8: Let me out of here.

473
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: Can't help.

474
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 8: What the fuck, Wade?

475
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: Sit? I'm sorry, I don't know what to do. Fuck,

476
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: I've told you so much.

477
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 8: What are you doing?

478
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: He's on top of me now, like straddling me?

479
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: What is he?

480
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: Sorry? I know what to do is to you, Wade?

481
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 10: Now wait stop, I can't breathe.

482
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: The only way to kill the Mukade without summoning the

483
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: Horde is to boil it alive. I can't keep stomping

484
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: on my problems. Got to boil the centipede once and

485
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: for all.

486
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 3: The tea kettle cord. This hurts me more than it

487
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: hurts you.

488
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 8: No, Wade, it doesn't.

489
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: But it's about to go. Have a fucking face.

490
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 8: Get off me. Hey, Siri, call Santi.

491
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: Santi's phone.

492
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

493
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 9: I thought you were crazy going on about this popper's

494
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 9: conversion conspiracy shit, but I also realized that you wouldn't

495
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 9: stop searching for Sandi until you got an answer.

496
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: So you took advantage of Elias's unrelated crimes and pentned

497
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Santi's murder on him too.

498
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't really gonna let you die, Damien, and I'm not.

499
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: Gonna stop looking for the truth until I find you. Well,

500
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: I found the truth, or more accurately, I guess the

501
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: truth found me. Like I said, it was hardly my

502
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: deductive prowess that busted this case open. And yet as

503
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: I process all this, underscored by the soothing drone of

504
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: Wade trying to reattach his face, I'm suddenly not so

505
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: bothered by my gum shoe shortcomings. I mean, so what

506
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: if I missed some red flag. That's what dating is.

507
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: I can't beat myself up for every clue I overlooked

508
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: or every hypothesis I misjudged. I have other people to

509
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: beat up for that. Now. Yeah, I might not be

510
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: the best detective in Ludlow Hills, but I'm alright with that,

511
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: because sometimes to solve a mystery, gotta let things slip

512
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: through the cracks.
