For full exposure, Listen 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.400 with headphones. Listener discretion advised. 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:15.760 How did you? 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.759 I'll explain everything, but you need to come with me. 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.079 This part of the swamp isn't protected. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:24.680 Why don't you put down that knife first? 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:24.880 Well? 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:29.760 There, Thomas, you're looking surprisingly well and this wasn't for you? 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:30.920 Was for that? 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:32.800 Are we going to a gathering meeting? 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:34.320 Why would you think that? 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.239 I don't know the symbol you carved those in the 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.360 trees when you want to meet, don't you? 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.480 That's one purpose for them, But that's not the primary one. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.279 So what is the primary one? 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.440 Come on, we'll talk as we go. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.279 Okay, Hey, how did you know Thomas's name? 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.319 I know who all of you are, Thomas, especially why 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:58.800 the Houdini active pulled there? 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.400 I'm not sure if you were impressed or annoy. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:07.120 Can I be both? Aren't you going to ask me 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:07.679 who I am? 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.199 We know who you are. You're a gathering leader from Virginia. 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:16.119 Right, I guess we all have reputations preceding us. Then 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.680 I assume you know why I'm here? 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:22.160 Well, why don't you tell us, all right, here we go. 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.800 Ah, where are you taking us? 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.720 It's not so much about the destination as it is 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.600 about getting on a bus. What I haven't had a 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.560 chance to cover the whole swamp yet, and the bus 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.760 stop was closer than the areas I have secured. The 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:38.720 bus will be safe. 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.840 Iron rank the favor of help. Iron buses are steeled, 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.840 which is an iron alloy. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:52.639 M The next bus should be here in three minutes. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.240 We can talk freely on it. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.120 What do you mean you haven't covered the whole swamp yet. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.160 The ruin I carved it wasn't for community cation. It 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:02.040 was for protection. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.760 That's why that bigfoot creature vanished. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.919 H can't come past the boundaries of the rooms. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:10.080 Now. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.160 I can keep it out of areas, but I can't 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.520 keep it in. So be careful if you choose to 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:16.040 come back. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.840 So you're saying it's not gone for good. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:24.360 No, just vanish to the other side for now. That's 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.200 why I'm here. A lot of things are not where 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:28.799 they should be. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.079 Yeah, we've figured that out. 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:31.520 On our own. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.040 Does that also mean you figured out what's causing it? 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.600 Well, yeah, we know that something is off balance. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:43.560 You think things are not just off balance, Jeremy. They 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:44.799 are broken. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:46.720 Because of you. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:47.280 Me. 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.799 What did I do? I was trapped for forty years? 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.440 Exactly. You should never have come back out. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.760 What do you mean he shouldn't have come back. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.800 Thomas was in there for a reason and he should 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:40.480 have stayed there. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:41.960 How dare you say that? 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.680 Hey, hey, listen, don't be mad at me. I'm just 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:46.400 the messenger. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.080 Oh yeah, and who exactly is the source. 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.120 Of this message the other side? 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.160 Oh cool, So you've got like a buddy over there 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:55.640 or something. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:00.640 I'm not trying to come here and mess up your life, Jeremy, No. 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.000 You're just coming to murder my father. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:03.320 Again. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.040 That wasn't me, That wasn't any member of the gathering, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.280 or even a member back then. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.800 Oh sure there was an offshoot. Yeah, we've heard that 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:12.960 all before. Then. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.680 You know, I'm right. You have no reason to take 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:17.760 your anger out on me. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.320 Given that I'm the only one here who's actually the 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.920 victim of an attempted murder. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.320 I think I could be angry at whoever I want. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.880 That's fair, And I know this doesn't mean anything to you. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.120 I wasn't even alive when you were pushed into the 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.479 liminal but I am sorry for what happened to you. 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.240 It wasn't right not to mention it didn't even work. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.159 The liminal mm hmm, that's what we call it. Where 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.920 Thomas was and your solution. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.560 Is just a thrown back again. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.000 Do you know exactly what you're dealing with here? 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.760 We have some idea, yeah, then. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.159 You know who's on the other side, what that place is. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.200 Or you have a bunch of half baked theories but 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.920 not enough solid proof to connect all the dots. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.800 Well, we've been thinking maybe it's the Fay realm okay, 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.400 and considering the way you reacted to my iron assumption. 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.320 Yeah, okay, so you're not totally clueless. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.840 So that is what's doing this. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.880 The Fay Court, the Hidden People, the Secret Commonwealth, whatever 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.240 you want to call it, non human beings who reign 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.040 over a kingdom that lays just beyond a liminal space, 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.120 who could destroy all of us with ease if they 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:35.800 so chose. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.720 If that were true, wouldn't they have done it by now? 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.919 I mean it certainly feels like they've been trying at 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:41.400 least here. 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.359 They made a deal centuries ago. What do you We 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:50.080 don't bother them, They don't bother us. Everybody stays happy 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:51.640 and ignorant. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.920 And we have to give them something like a human life. 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:01.160 It's different for each doorway here, Virginia, Muda, Mattlock, the 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.120 Dragon's triangle places where the veil between worlds is thinnest, 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.359 where the other side is accessible. There has to be 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.599 something between here and there, hence the liminal where you 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.880 were trapped with someone else. I'm assuming how did you 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:22.800 know that it's similar in Virginia. Well, the need for 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.360 two souls is at least two souls, one that has 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.479 to be new every forty years. That's my understanding of 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:32.599 how Bridgewater works. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:37.839 And he wasn't willing, so so things have been hinky 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:38.920 here for a while. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.440 Yes, it's not a deal breaker for the Fay realm, 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.719 the willingness bit, but having two residents of the liminal 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.279 that's non negotiable. It keeps things nice and closed. 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.080 So without me, the. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.880 Gates are wide open for anyone to waltz into the 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.400 kingdom or out of it. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.000 Okay, so how do we close it? 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:01.559 We follow the terms of the deal. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.039 Even if I went back in Alden wouldn't be able 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.440 to come out, or we'd be stuck with the same problem. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.120 I take it Alden as the other person in there. No, 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.560 they wouldn't be able to come out either. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.520 Okay, well that's a mood point. Because you are not 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:18.560 going back in there. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.120 Someone has to or people are going to die. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.120 Whoa, whoa. We do not know that you think. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.520 You would have been able to defend yourselves against that beast. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.680 That's not your storybook, sasquash Jeremy. We've got similar creatures 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.920 in the South, bear like things that can stand on 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.920 two legs, take down trees. There's the Faky monster, the 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.320 Ozak Howler. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:48.600 And wait wait, the faky monster that's Arkansas, right, and 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:49.640 it kills livestock. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.960 Right, then, maybe what we just saw is the thing 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:53.920 that killed the cows. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:59.200 That's exactly my point. These monsters are not gonna stop 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.880 at a visceray and cows, which is why we need 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:03.800 to fix this. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.200 Doesn't have to be me though, right, Whatever deal exists 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.160 doesn't stipulate a specific person. 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:14.200 No, it doesn't have to be you. But to be 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.160 really honest, I don't know who else would willingly go 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:17.520 in there. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:20.600 Why would we trust her on this? 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.320 Why would we trust you on this? We don't even 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.200 know you. And the gathering hasn't exactly been. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.480 Good to us. I have no reason to lie to you. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.960 Even if you are telling the truth, that doesn't mean 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.160 that there's not something else we can do. Okay, you 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.800 got rid of that beast, the howler thing, whatever, just 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.800 very easily. You just teach us how to do that, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.319 and we can take care of this area. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.839 It doesn't work like that. I told you I can 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.200 keep things out by creating a protective boundary, but I 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.920 can't keep anything in. They'd be free to rome elsewhere. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:53.680 Can we kill them? 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.800 They are flesh and blood, presumably right, so we figure 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.640 out how we can take them down. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.240 The monsters coming from the other side are not your 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.000 biggest problem. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.680 I'd say they're pretty urgent concern. 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.760 If the terms of the deal aren't honored, the Fae 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.920 Realm won't stick to its side of the veil. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.880 Mean what, we're gonna send more monsters through? 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:16.400 What does that mean? 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.880 They won't have to The boundary will collapse, the two 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:26.560 worlds bleeding into one another, causing problems we can't even imagine. 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.040 The deal must be honored. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.200 It sounds like we need to renegotiate this deal. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.000 Yeah, I don't think you really comprehend what we're dealing 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:40.199 with here, Jeremy. This is old magic. It's not something 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:45.960 that can be altered or undone. It's like gravity. We 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:46.880 have to bend to it. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.280 Humans have found plenty of ways to defy gravity. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.439 But we always have to come back down always. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.360 And do you want to chime in here? 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:57.720 Yeah? 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.920 Dad, I think she's right. We may not have a choice, esays, 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:03.719 what is happening here. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.520 We met her five minutes ago, and you're just taking 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:07.959 everything she says at face value. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.760 I'm not saying that we should just give up, but 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:10.240 thank you. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:15.520 No, Jeremy's right, we don't have any reason to trust you. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.560 Your predecessor was slippery at best and manipulative at worst. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.680 I've known her a lot longer. So until you have 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.680 proof of what you're saying, and I'm not even sure 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.160 what that proof would look like, we're going to keep 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.840 doing what we've been doing and figure things out the old. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.120 Fashioned way, grasping for straws in the darkness. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:35.280 Investigate. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:41.200 You know what, Fine, I can't force any of you 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.000 to do anything. We don't know how disastrous that is, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:51.920 So go ahead, do your own investigating, but do it 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.960 quickly and when you finally figure out that I'm telling 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.320 the truth, come and find me, all right? 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:00.880 All right? 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.680 So have you moved into Celeste house too? Huh? Stepped 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:05.440 into her whole life. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:10.360 I'm not her permanent replacement. Besides, I wanted to keep 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.120 an eye on things, so I'm staying in Freetown Forest. 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:20.000 That safe, I'm protected, all right.

When she left 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:52.600 this morning, she said, something happened. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.880 Oh, we met someone who knows a lot more than 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:57.159 we do. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.000 And well, the. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.720 Situation is, it's it's complicated. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.399 There was a boy with me in that other place. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.320 It was also trapped in Olivia. 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.080 She's helping me to try to find out more about 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:12.640 him so that maybe we can help him. 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:14.040 Is another. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:20.600 A boy from a long time ago. 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:26.000 So this thing, whatever it is, it does take children. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.120 Yes, I don't know if that's the preferred sacrifice. 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:32.080 What sacrifice. 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:38.720 There's some sort of balance sheet.

I ended up there by mistake. 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.520 I think I think maybe it wanted Jeremy back then. 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:52.280 Yeah, my mom did mention something about him. Going missing one. 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:56.040 We got him back, just like you got your boy back. 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:57.800 He's not in danger anymore. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:20:59.760 We'll forgive me if I don't take you at your 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.159 word that I'm keeping him at his grandparents for the 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.840 foreseeable future, his other grandparents. 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:11.240 I'd like to meet him someday, if that's okay. 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.359 I don't think so, I mean, at least not.
