00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: The Hookup is a production of iHeart Podcasts, Blumhouse Television

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: and Amber twenty. Listener discretion is totally advised. I don't

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: understand what you're not getting, Santi. They are one thousand

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: percent gay.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: I hear you, boy, though, I just think you're describing

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: a little too much meaning to a children's book.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Who said anything about meaning? I am just stating the

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: fact that Frog and Toad are gay. I don't mean

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: anything by that, It's just how it is. Every night

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Frog drills Toad fact. I mean, haven't you ever gotten

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: like a foot job from a guy with webbed feet?

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: It just hits different. So Toad is the bottom I

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: would have guessed it was Frog, a common misconception which

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: causes Toad a good deal of grief. See Toad feels

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: insecure because as the older man dating a strapping, young

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: twunk like Frog, the societal expectation is for Toad to

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: be the agro top Zadi type. But that's simply not

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: the case, and it explains why Toad is kind of

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: such a grumpy cuck all the time. All that bottom

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: shaming has really gone to him over the years. Are

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: you going to finish your onion rings?

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: By all means, hey, while we're on the topic, can

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: I ask you something he may when you and Wade fucked?

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: Who is the frog and who is the toad?

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: Damien?

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: This is Wade. I'm confused. So this Wade, he was

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the real person. You lost your virginity too. You told

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: me it was santy to what you know about Wade?

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: I know about everything. Boy, you.

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Who's there? You did this to me, Damien Wade.

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: You're a wicked boy.

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Damien, I'm not. I'm not wicked.

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: You betrayed my trust after I opened up to you. Acker,

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: you opened up for me too.

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: Ever, since I met with doctor Wiley the other day

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: and reopened those older wounds, all I can dream about

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: now is wide. I mean, I thought the Sandy dreams

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: were bad, but this. I'm not sure what the frog

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: and toad part was about, though, that was weird. I mean,

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: I outed someone. He may have been like a barrel

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: of waste, but still that's really bad form. So try

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: as I might to focus on the conversion popper hive

43
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: mind conspiracy at hand, Lately, I keep hearing this steady

44
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: thump wherever I go, Like the guy in the Telltale Heart.

45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: You know, tormented by the heartbeat of the man he

46
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: dismembered and hit under the floorboards. Okay, I don't know

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: if he like dismembered him. I might have made that

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: part up, except instead of a heartbeat. Once upon a

49
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday dismal, while I mourned my own abysmal sins against

50
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: a gentleman who wronged me, yet I wronged him worse.

51
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: While I lay there, glum and gloomy on my own,

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: no man nor roomy. I fucked up. I know, So

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: sue me, Sue me for my crimes perverse. I hear

54
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: the haunting, rhythmic, thrusting phantoms of my crimes perverse echo

55
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: like a telltale curse. Since yester when I hit afraid

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: espying him the boy called Wade, whom not two years

57
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: ago I outed. When circumstances grew adverse, the guilt inside

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: has reawakened a deep remorse. I want no stake in

59
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: the smell of shame, like mourning bacon, pungent, like the

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: porker's curse. Perhaps I must atone, I mutter, should I

61
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: seek to shed this curse from which I'm forced to

62
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: speak in verse as I started gently flapping my phone

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: produced a high pitched wrapping. It's just a pop up

64
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: bed for a sex shop called Chalk Full of Nuts.

65
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: The customer comes first. Ugh. Sex shops have been using

66
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: that slogan since Pilgrim Time in Metal is a ghost

67
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: town these days. There's like hardly anyone on here anymore.

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: Have they all turned straight like Matteo? Ugh take cover

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: guilt approaching. Speaking of the paupers plan, I've set my

70
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: sights upon the man whose craven scheme I do believe

71
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: has brought the end so niish and furthermore to raise

72
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: the ante. Perhaps he also murdered Santi with fava beans

73
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: and nice KIANTI how he truly seemed the shyest. I

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: mustn't get bamboozled, for the wildest men are off the shyest.

75
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm onto you, my sweet Elias. Okay, But at the

76
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: same time, what do I actually know about this alias kid?

77
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I know he somehow ended up at PM Peter's game

78
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: Night of the Damned. I know he and Santy were

79
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: competing for a prestigious research grant, evident by the photo

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: I found of them in the science building yesterday. And

81
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: and I know he's kind of cute. He reminds me

82
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: of how in high school I had this imaginary boyfriend

83
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: named Cotton who I'd visit on his family's farm in

84
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and we'd bang on bails of hey as a sunset.

85
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: But I digress. So how does one go about finding

86
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: this elusive Elias. Well, for starters, one needs to be

87
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: an adept cyberstalker. Crustwick University Elias Crustwick University, Elias Research grant. Nope,

88
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: farm boy, barnyard porn, that's for later. I mean, you'd

89
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: think with a name like Elias, he'd be easier to

90
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: pin down, but I'm not worried. I swiped the photo

91
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: of Elias and Santy from the lab reverse image search.

92
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: This is a handy tool I used to find a

93
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: guy's socials based on his dating Appics can form an

94
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: extreme opinion without ever having to meet him. You just

95
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: upload a photo and boom, I knew it. The first

96
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: result is a LinkedIn profile for one Elias Laski. That's

97
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: twenty first century sleuthing for you, man. I am so

98
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: crafty and relatable. Okay, let's see Originally from Iowa Studies

99
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: Medical Science at Crestwick u oh and works weekends at

100
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the Crestwick Student Clinic as an assistant prep nurse. Wait,

101
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: nobody talk to me. I feel a plan coming together.

102
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: Some sort of accidental meet cute at the student clinic

103
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: mayhap lull him into a false sense of security, so

104
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: he tips his hand. I hatch deployed. It must succeed

105
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: to boil this here centipede. I've stalked him, and I

106
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: don't believe our pallid purpose, pure and pious. He works

107
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: part time at our scholastic clinic, getting pre med practice,

108
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: handing out free prophylactics meant to quell the HI virus.

109
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm overdue, in any case, to go on PRAP to

110
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: stop the virus. I'll bury you, friend, so call me eyelish. Okay,

111
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: that one wasn't my best work. Hi, I have an

112
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: appointment for Damien Hurst. Mm hmmm.

113
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 5: And what's the purpose of your visit to go on prep?

114
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.

115
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: I'll need to ask you a few questions.

116
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: First.

117
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 5: Are you sexually active?

118
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Believe it or not? I am a virgin? Really, yes, really,

119
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm saving myself for Jesus. I hear he likes him tight.

120
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: I will stand by that joke until my dying breath.

121
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Which might be soon.

122
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 5: Have the following. Which types of sex do you practice

123
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex.

124
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Anal and oral but not like combined? You know, I

125
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: mean not yet?

126
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 5: And uh when it comes to anal sex, do you

127
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 5: practice insertive, receptive or both both?

128
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean historically I fancied myself at top, but some

129
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: recent expirations have raised the question of whether I really

130
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: do prefer it or if I'm just like you know,

131
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: pray to the bottom shaming stigma in the k community.

132
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

133
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 5: Receptive? All right, have a seat in your student nurse.

134
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 4: Will be right with you.

135
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: Thanks, and don't forget to visit the Barnacle boutique. Just

136

Speaker 3: stock up on Crestwick spirit gear for tomorrow's badminton Championship.

137
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: On the heels of last year's crushing defeat against the

138
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 3: Saint Bartholomew Bulls, the Crestwick Crustaceans are poised to reclaim

139
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: the gold in tomorrow's game. Thanks Anna, I'll be sure

140
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: to show my crustation pride.

141
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 5: Damien, you can head on back to the exam room now.

142
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Seatful pretense as aside, I am overdue to be on prep,

143
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: especially now that I have to worry about catching heterosexuality too.

144
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: I just don't have the capacity for much else.

145
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: All right, mister hurt Damien Elias, Huh do you work here?

146
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: That's a bizarre coincidence.

147
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: I don't believe in coincidences.

148
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Shit, he's onto me already.

149
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 4: Everything happens for a reason, So if the universe brought

150
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: us back together, it's no coincidence.

151
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I'm glad you made it out of p

152
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: and Peter's Townhouse of Terror in one.

153
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: Piece, barely, are you okay?

154
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean in a severely traumatized kind of way.

155
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a really intense game of Werewolf. U.

156
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: I was referring more to Peter and Big Top going insane,

157
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, werewolf too.

158
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: Did you see what happened to that other guy, the

159
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: one who hated you, Big Top, the other one right him?

160
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: Is he okay?

161
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: He escaped?

162
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: That's good. So you're here to get on prep right?

163
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: Huh? All right, I guess we're done talking about that.

164
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, have you taken it before?

165
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: I've sort of been putting it off, just never felt

166
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: like I needed it.

167
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 4: Life begins outside your comfort zone.

168
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: M Life begins screaming, covered in afterburth.

169
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: Fine, but going on prep isn't some admission off to

170
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 4: pravity or loose morals? Say?

171
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: Ah uh, I know that, and you know that, but

172
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: the ovarmin flight on my head that dictates my self

173
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: wealth hasn't got m mallow. Why'd you throw the swab away?

174
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: Isn't that part of the exam?

175
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: Oh? No, I was just testing your reflexes, testing my Oh,

176
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: lift up your shirt.

177
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: In hey, Okay, okay, that's enough of that. The stethoscope

178
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: was really cold.

179
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 4: You're cute when you're flustered, Damien.

180
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Focus. There's time to get dicked down later. Right now,

181
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: we need to shift this conversation towards Santy and the

182
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Ashcroft Inlet research grant. Careful now, I just might fall

183
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: for you, cute, funny future doctor.

184
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: Not quite. My major's actually medical science. I just like

185
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: to volunteer at the clinic to help people get on prap.

186
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I can work with this right, medical science?

187
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: So is that like a lot of research and stuff?

188
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 4: Yep? I'm actually part of our whole research grant program.

189
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 4: Give me your.

190
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Arm rad tell me about it.

191
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: Really, it's not that interesting.

192
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: I think everything about you is interesting.

193
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: Elias okay, wow, your research project that will make me

194
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: eligible for a huge grant when I graduate.

195
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: Way cool? Uh what are you researching?

196
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: It's a chemical compound. I underestimated the commitment though. I've

197
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 4: had practically no free time since I started the program

198
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: yoga dating. I even had to quit the badminton team

199
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 4: this year to make time.

200
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: By code red, Elias was on the badminton team. That

201
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: means he owns a crust big badminton hoodie, which makes

202
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: him supremely eligible to be my stalker.

203
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: Anyway, How are you with needles?

204
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry?

205
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: Are you squeamish about needles for drawing blood?

206
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh uh no, no not really.

207
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: Oh wow, so brave?

208
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Do I get a lolly?

209
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: We'll see.

210
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Wait, that wasn't me flirting. I really want a lollipop.

211
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: I bet you looked good in the badminton uniform.

212
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 4: I looked great, but my partner on the grand project

213
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: went a wall, so I had to quit the team

214
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: to pick up the slack awall.

215
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: What happened?

216
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: Oh, it was bizarre. The guy his name is Santiago,

217
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: just disappeared one day.

218
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that. I didn't know him.

219
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Were you too close? You ask a lot of questions,

220
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: but think of all the things I know because I asked.

221
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: Can't argue with that. It was a weird situation. Santi

222
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: and I were working side by side for hours every day,

223
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: but only one of us would receive the grant upon graduating.

224
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: And there it is who remembers the word of the

225
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: day mony, gotcha?

226
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: But now that Santy is Mia Santi, are you guys

227
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: on nickname? Basis? Now?

228
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Shit? Careful dame?

229
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: It feels a little morbid to talk about. But well,

230
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: the truth is, as long as Santi was in the picture,

231
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: I never stood a chance at winning.

232
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: How's that?

233
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: Well? Key and I were evenly matched in terms of

234
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: brain power, work ethic, but Santi had the big d diversity.

235
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh oh, optics wise, Santiago Ramos was the more desirable winner. Ah,

236
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's something wrong with that sentiment.

237
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, you had the whole gay thing going

238
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: for you. Doesn't that count?

239
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: Oh?

240
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: Well, I guess Santi was gay too, so it cancels out.

241
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: Didn't you hear? Gay's not diverse anymore?

242
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: Right? So nobody's heard from him, not since.

243
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: He went missing the night of last year's championship game.

244
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: So I guess it's almost exactly a year ago.

245
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: Time flies when you murder your rival for academic gain.

246
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: But wait, shit, that's right. It was the night of

247
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: the Bad Mitten game and Elias was still on the

248
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: team at that point, which means Elias has an alibi.

249
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: So I rescind my battle cry. It seems his only

250
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: crime is of a nature hippocratic and keeping with the

251
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: mockery and paltry sleuth ad hockery, this mysteries debauchery remains

252
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: as ever enigmatic to better sleuth than me. Perhaps it's

253
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: not so enigmatic, nor hide wager.

254
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: So traumatic not done. Now, let's talk band aids. We've

255
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 4: got Batman, Pokemon or I stand with.

256
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Ukraine, I mean Pokemon.

257
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: Please, once we get the results back on your blood work,

258
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: we'll go ahead and call in your prescription.

259
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: That easy, huh.

260
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: I do have one more question, He's told totally about

261
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: to ask me out.

262
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm flattered.

263
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 4: How didn't you know Santy was gay?

264
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Uh? Huh?

265
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: Earlier you mentioned something about Santy being gay. How do

266
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: you know that?

267
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Uh? Are you sure you must have mentioned it first?

268
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. Fuck right?

269
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what I actually did vaguely know Santy.

270
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: We never met or anything. I was just like aware

271
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: of a gay kid named Santy that goes to school here.

272
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: Gotcha, No you didn't. You said you didn't know him.

273
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Okay, we've hit a wee fork in the road here,

274
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: leaving me with two options. Option A would be to

275
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: keep lying my way out of this. That's historically been

276
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: my knee jerk reaction, although it is also how I

277
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: twisted myself into this knot so maybe it is time

278
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: for option B. The truth. Well, okay, and a bridge

279
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: version of it. You're right, Elias, I haven't been completely

280
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: honest with you. The truth is I did know Santi.

281
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: I knew him a lot.

282
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: Were you guys together?

283
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: It was confusing and complicated, but yeah we were.

284
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 4: So this whole routine where you pretend to run into

285
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: me under the pretense of a prep appointment was just

286
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: to pump me for information because you knew he and

287
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 4: I were competing for the grant and that made me

288
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 4: a suspect, which.

289
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: I now know you're not because you have an alibi.

290
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: You were playing in the badminton game. See problem solved? Yay?

291
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 4: Wow?

292
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: Are you mad?

293
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: Are you mad. You thought I was a murderer.

294
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, somebody wearing a Crustwit crustacean hoodie

295
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: has been following me lately, so I actually thought you

296
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: might be a murderer and a stalker. Needless to say

297
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: that sentence did not achieve the intended effect.

298
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 4: Definitely needless, and your logic doesn't even track. You say

299
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: your stalker plays on the babminton team, and you also

300
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: think your stalker is Santy's kidnapper. But since Santy was

301
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: taken during the babminton game, then theoretically everyone on the

302
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 4: team would have an alibi, which means nobody could have

303
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: committed the crime.

304
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Wow, he's right. How did I miss that? So then

305
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: you're saying that the kidnapper and stalker have to be

306
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: two separate entities.

307
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 4: No, what I'm saying is my life coach once came

308
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: up with something that I think would be pertinent to

309
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 4: this situation. She said, the simplest solution is often the

310
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: most likely.

311
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: Is your life coach a thirteenth century philosopher use Otherwise,

312
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: pretty sure she didn't come up with.

313
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 4: That, You know, Damien, for someone with so much dysfunction

314
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 4: in their life, I'd expect you to be more accepting

315
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: of a little help.

316
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I'm just saying you're very.

317
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: Cynical, and based on the general disarray of your life,

318
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm not sure you have the right.

319
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: To be Wow, okay, And had it occurred to you

320
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: that the general disarray of my life is exactly what

321
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: gives me the right to be cynical, I'm sure if

322
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: my biggest problems were being too white and deciding which

323
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: holistic healing crystal would summon the goddess of self care,

324
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: I'd be doctor optimists too. And honestly, what even is

325
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: your point about the simplest solution being the right one?

326
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 4: My point is that there probably is no killer Santy

327
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: left you. Ah, I'm sorry, Demian shouldn't have said anything.

328
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: No, No, You're right. It's a very real possibility, isn't

329
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: it fucked up? How the outcome and which Santy wasn't

330
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: murdered is the one I'm more afraid of.

331
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: Wow, when you find Santy, we can just keep that

332
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: between us.

333
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, Elias. I didn't mean to come after

334
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: you like that. I'm just so frustrated, like every lead

335
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: only leads to a dead end. It's like I'm shackled

336
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: to square one and I what I know, this isn't

337
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: what matters right now, But I think I might be

338
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: a kind of shitty detective.

339
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: Hey, that's not true. You tracked me down here, didn't you.

340
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I am pretty crafty and relatable.

341
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Besides, I doubt you'll have many more mysteries like this

342
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 4: is sold in your lifetime, so you should be fine.

343
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm majoring an investigative journalism.

344
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: Oh right, have you considered switching majors? There is something else?

345
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 4: And I'm not sure if I should say anything, because

346
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: the last thing I'd want is to desecrate your memory.

347
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Tell me I wasn't just.

348
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: Being cagy before. Ashcroft inlet is conservative with the information

349
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: they share. When Santi and I were initially selected for

350
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 4: the grant program, we were told the bulk of our

351
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 4: research would be testing various biochemical interactions against a specific

352
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: drug they were developing.

353
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Now streaming on exposition plus.

354
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: The people from the Foundation called it agent M and

355
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 4: it's apparently such a groundbreaking medical advancement that we aren't

356
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 4: allowed to know what it really even is.

357
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: Yet that sounds shady.

358
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: I know, it's just it's been so exciting to be

359
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 4: part of something important. I may have willfully overlooked some

360
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: red flags, but Agent M is I mean, it's remarkable,

361
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 4: even without knowing its intended purpose. Just watching the way

362
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 4: it manipulates and reshapes organic matter is mesmerizing.

363
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: Well, if there was any doubt that Agent M became

364
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: a hookup, I'd say it's now entirely dispelled.

365
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: But the point remains. Earlier, when you asked about the

366
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: actual objective of the project, you weren't told. Well, I wasn't,

367
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 4: meaning not long before Santy disappeared, he started having a

368
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: lot of closed door conversations with our supervisors. At the time,

369
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: I just assumed it meant he was the front runner.

370
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 4: But then I'd started catching him at the lab, but

371
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 4: weird hours sneaking around hying about it, and when I

372
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 4: raised the issue with the Foundation, they completely shut me down.

373
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: So you think Santy found out what Agent M is?

374
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: Obviously I can't know for sure, but definitely felt that way.

375
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think the Foundation did something

376
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: to him?

377
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: I did at first, but I can't make it make sense.

378
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 4: He was their golden boy. I do think Santy was

379
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 4: involved in something on Savory. I just can't imagine how

380
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: it factors into his disappearance.

381
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: If what Elias is saying is legit, then not only

382
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: was Santy helping develop a conversion drug, he was on

383
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: board with it.

384
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 4: I know about everything.

385
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: Boy, you no, there's no fucking way the Santy I

386
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: knew would never do that. Though maybe the Santy I

387
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: knew wasn't the real Santy at all.

388
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 4: I feel sick. I'm so sorry, Damien, and none if

389
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: this even means anything I could have misinterpreted or no,

390
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 4: I'm glad you told me this. You know, it takes

391
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: forty three muscles to frown, but only seventeen to smile,

392
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: So when you think about it, it's really much easier

393
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 4: to just put on a happy base.

394
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: Oh me a fucking break.

395
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: But life snow foam when you take the easy way out.

396
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 4: So I say it's a ok to cry.

397
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Did your life coach tell you that?

398
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 4: Worse it was in today's horoscope? Anyway, enough sad talk,

399
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 4: it's my turn, your turn for what to say?

400
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Ah ooh what do you just like that? His mouth

401
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: is open while I get lucky. Here's to hope him

402
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: up and down. He bobs on me, his torso twisting

403
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: like a screw. But do I find him still suspicious? Gaming?

404
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: M you taste delicious between the gulps and gags and kisses.

405
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I've warmed up to this rendezvous. I know I'm on

406
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: a mission and it's not the time for rendezvous, but

407
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: I surrender Waterloo. But just as I'm about to bust again,

408
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: I hear that haunting thrust, a telltale guilt for what

409
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: I did to wade. The won't leave me alone. I

410
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: try to focus on the oral, casting out these pesky morals.

411
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: Sick of this internal quarrel. Fine, I'm ready to atone.

412
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: I'm terrified to face him, though I have no choice

413
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: but to a tone. But first I've got to lose

414
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: this bone. Nor stop stop stop.

415
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 4: What I I thought you were down? I'm sorry, I was.

416
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: I am. There's just something that's been weighing on me,

417
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: and I have to go deal with.

418
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: It right now. Okay, can I help? Yeah?

419
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: Keep an ear to the ground. If the Ashcroft inlet

420
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 1: is playing mad scientist, I want to know about it.

421
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: Okay, will I see you again?

422
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: I can't recommend it. Bad things tend to happen to

423
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: the people in my orbit. Just trust me, Elias. I'm

424
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: a whole lot of drama that you want no part of.

425
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 4: I don't mind a little drama. All the world's at

426
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: stage right, Yeah.

427
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: But with my luck probably stage crew. Goodbye, Elias. The

428
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: Japanese have this term kenjataimu, referring to the mental and

429
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: emotional clarity felt immediately after sex without any carnal desires

430
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: to impede judgment. This period is supposedly when the answers

431
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: to all life's problems becomes clear. Well, I call bs.

432
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: In the fifteen minutes it takes me to cross the

433
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: quad and reach wades on campus apartment, my questions have

434
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: only amplified. What if Wade won't forgive me? Could Santy

435
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: really have been involved in creating the hookup? Why was

436
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: I rhyming to the poetic meter of the raven while

437
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: I was thematically referencing the telltale heart. All of these

438
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: questions and more permeate my mind as I approach Wade's door.

439
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: But for a moment, I'm weirdly grateful to be here.

440
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: Since my investigation into Santy and the hookup has stalled,

441
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: there's an unexpected comfort to at least knowing what steps

442
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: I have to take with Wade. May be a shoddy

443
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: detective and an even shoddier poet, but at least I

444
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: have the tools to not be a shoddy person. Speaking

445
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: of poetry, let's wrap this shit up. Once upon a

446
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday dismal while I mourned my own abysmal memories of Santy,

447
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: who I thought I knew. But I'm the fool. They

448
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: say the world is all a stage and we're just

449
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: actors off the page. I disagree. We're in a cage.

450
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: Who knew that life would be so cruel? When everyone

451
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: I've dated thinks I mean and weak and cruel? Have

452
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: I shat in the dating pool? I flew like wind

453
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: across the quad. No feet of man nor act of

454
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: God could stop me from confronting Wade and trying to

455
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: make amends. Toss me a bone and let me catch it.

456
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Dig me a hole to bury the hatchet, Thread me

457
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: a needle so I can patch it up before the

458
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: bitter end. Forgive me, Wade. I wanted to bring this

459
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: painful chapter to its end and reap the closure I intend.
