Speaker 1: and Crypt TV in association with Wolf at the Door.
Speaker 1: I'd move heaven and earth for you. I'd die for you.
Speaker 1: I'd kill for you. I've said these things before, and
Speaker 1: I meant them, but I didn't think i'd have to.
Speaker 1: I came from a quiet laugh in a quiet town.
Speaker 1: I thought the rest of my life would be quiet too.
Speaker 1: Turns out I was wrong. This is damn. Where is he?
Speaker 1: That's impossible. I locked it. He was in here. This
Speaker 1: is disappointing, to say the least. Sister Morales, don't I'm
Speaker 1: not a part of your fucking cult or whatever you are.
Speaker 1: We clean, The bars are intact, so was the lock bar.
Speaker 1: He didn't bust out. That means someone let him out.
Speaker 1: I suggest you find out who did. Otherwise our agreement
Speaker 1: to provide you protection will be in breach. I did
Speaker 1: everything you asked. I followed through. This isn't on me.
Speaker 1: We asked for Isaiah Williams, you delivered an empty cage.
Speaker 1: Now without our protection, your oath to secrecy is suddenly deliveraged.
Speaker 1: That puts me in a quandary cat We preserve our
Speaker 1: secrecy at all costs that a threat one human life
Speaker 1: means nothing when it comes to serving the greater good.
Speaker 1: You're not above sacrifice, my dear. I've been forced to
Speaker 1: assist many members of the ward into realizing the scene.
Speaker 1: Then again, self sacrifice has never been a sentiment that's
Speaker 1: come naturally to you. Tell me, how is it that
Speaker 1: no other soldier saw the insurgent who shot you that
Speaker 1: night at your post. The injury to your shoulder. It's
Speaker 1: what sent you home from the war, was it not?
Speaker 1: How do you know it? I know a whole lot more,
Speaker 1: Miss Morales, find Isaiah or you will pay a heavy price.
Speaker 1: Wake up, Issaiah, I know you're not dead. Welcome back. No,
Speaker 1: why did you bring me in? The school was the
Speaker 1: only place that they wouldn't find you right away? Figured
Speaker 1: the gym would be easiest to you. Shouldn't have taken
Speaker 1: me out. This was the only way I was gonna
Speaker 1: get answers. I don't know what you think is going on,
Speaker 1: but I promise you you don't understand. Listen to me.
Speaker 1: These change won't do any good. You have to get
Speaker 1: me back. It's not safe and why not? You just
Speaker 1: have to trust me. Wow, even now, even when I've
Speaker 1: got you cornered. Even when you think my life is
Speaker 1: on the line, you still can't bring yourself to tell
Speaker 1: me the truth. You wouldn't believe me if I did.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you had such little faith in me. Isaiah,
Speaker 1: that's all right. I can't prepare Jesus. What are you
Speaker 1: doing with that gun? Ashley? I know what you are, Isaiah.
Speaker 1: I know the kind of monster you're becoming. Nah, I'm
Speaker 1: the one getting answers this time. Listen to me. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how big of a gun you have, it's
Speaker 1: not going to protect you. Because you think you can't die, Ashley,
Speaker 1: I can't. I tried well. Seems like I understand a
Speaker 1: whole lot more about what you are than you do now.
Speaker 1: I want to hear everything about what you did to Gabe,
Speaker 1: all of it from the beginning, because if you don't,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure your last moment's heart like held. Jocelyn, Jocelyn, Hello, Ernesto,
Speaker 1: who the hell are you? Once a stranger, now a friend?
Speaker 1: Where's my and daughter? She's safe for now? What did
Speaker 1: you do with her? There's that fire I've heard so
Speaker 1: much about I see right, said, tell me where she
Speaker 1: is now. Could you loosing your grip a bit? If
Speaker 1: you kill me, then Joscelyn will die? Kidding? Your granddaughter
Speaker 1: is five. You can call her when we get to
Speaker 1: the car. I promise. I just needed to cut the
Speaker 1: bullshit and get everyone on the same team real quick.
Speaker 1: She was the only way to do that. I don't
Speaker 1: know what game you're plan, but I want to see Jocelyn.
Speaker 1: Isaiah's in danger and we need to find him. Who
Speaker 1: are you someone who wants to save your son from what? Wow?
Speaker 1: We've really got a lot to talk about. Don't we
Speaker 1: tell me? Isaiah? What did you start with his arms,
Speaker 1: his legs, head, stomach? Was his heart warm when your
Speaker 1: teeth sunk into it? Because you feel it beating? To
Speaker 1: let me go? Please tell me. I want to hear
Speaker 1: you say it all right? Have it your Actually, don't
Speaker 1: I have three more despair? Next time I'll aim for
Speaker 1: something more than a lag you keep pushing, I won't
Speaker 1: be able to stuff. I'm not afraid. Why do you
Speaker 1: want to hear this? Because there is a reason why
Speaker 1: you chose him, and I have to know why he
Speaker 1: is my brother. I didn't choose him, I didn't be heven,
Speaker 1: but it did. It's a pattern with you, I say it. Somehow,
Speaker 1: some way, you find a way to hurt the people
Speaker 1: that love you most. So you didn't murder, You didn't
Speaker 1: rip him apart, you didn't tear into his body. You didn't.
Speaker 1: You chose to do all of those things. That's why
Speaker 1: you are what you are. That's why my husband is dead.
Speaker 1: You want them, Damn you don't understand it. Most things
Speaker 1: they took over I couldn't contruely Jesus, I'm saying, take
Speaker 1: some responsibility for what's in your life. Just didn't bit
Speaker 1: what you did. God, your coward. After all these years,
Speaker 1: you're still running, turning your back on these things you
Speaker 1: don't want to face, wondering where it all went wrong.
Speaker 1: You never realized it. It's wrong, goddamn fault. Your mother
Speaker 1: will be ashamed of you. You don't think I know that.
Speaker 1: When we were growing up, I thought there was nothing
Speaker 1: you couldn't do. You were as a Williams homecoming king,
Speaker 1: baseball star, kind, charismatic, smart, funny, loyal, and you chose
Speaker 1: me as your best friend. It made me feel special
Speaker 1: and we talked about seeing the world. For me. It
Speaker 1: was just a fantasy, could have been real with you.
Speaker 1: You were the closest I ever came to something more. God,
Speaker 1: I loved you. I don't think you ever knew that
Speaker 1: what I did, I knew, Wow, just twisting the knife.
Speaker 1: How couldn't be there like you wanted me to? I
Speaker 1: tried to protect you, right because I was never good
Speaker 1: at doing that myself. Truth is, I built you up
Speaker 1: in my head and now I see you for who
Speaker 1: you really are. Gave deserved the brother you could have been.
Speaker 1: You sure as hell didn't deserve to die. Jocelyn, My
Speaker 1: daughter deserved a family. You took that from her. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It's too late for that. I said, way too fucking light.
Speaker 1: Please no, I'll just make you worse. I'm all right, Poppy,
Speaker 1: I'm safe. Where are you? I can't tell you, Jocelyn.
Speaker 1: You will tell me this minute. I told her not
Speaker 1: to say. Ah, what's wrong with you? My arm? Jesus
Speaker 1: that fucking hurts. Give me that phone. Listen, jay Bird,
Speaker 1: your grandpa's gotta go. Stay where you are, like we
Speaker 1: talked about, We'll find them. I promise. Why did you
Speaker 1: do that? We have to hurry. It's going south faster
Speaker 1: than I anticipated get Jocelyn back on that phone right now.
Speaker 1: I need to know where she might have taken Isaiah. Michelle,
Speaker 1: what's she done? No, Ashley, where would she take your son?
Speaker 1: Ashley wouldn't be anywhere near Isaiah. I can guarantee that
Speaker 1: she knows Isaiah killed Gabe. What what did you say?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I really am. This isn't the way anyone
Speaker 1: should find out something like that. But Ashley knows, and
Speaker 1: she's gone rogue. She's keeping him somewhere. I need to
Speaker 1: know where you're lying. He wouldn't he could can was
Speaker 1: pushed past the denial stage and get to anger. I
Speaker 1: can use anger. Who are you and what makes you
Speaker 1: think you know anything about my son? I just do
Speaker 1: look her nest. So think about what Ashley's done the
Speaker 1: past few days. She's displaced her child from their home,
Speaker 1: left Joscelyn with her strange father in law for long
Speaker 1: periods of time, all the while not telling you more
Speaker 1: than you needed to hear. You're a cop. Let the
Speaker 1: pattern speak for itself. She learned something, I saw something
Speaker 1: the truth, and now she's out for blood. We need
Speaker 1: to find them, or one of them will not be
Speaker 1: alive come morning. I promised Joscelyn. I would bring them home.
Speaker 1: I don't break promises. So think where would she take him?
Speaker 1: Her nest where she wouldn't go home? The woods and
Speaker 1: not after gave no, no, no? Think where was she? Bet?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like you said, it's clearly not something
Speaker 1: she would have told me. God damn it. Vote right, Okay, okay?
Speaker 1: I think what the school? I bet she's at the school.
Speaker 1: And that's tough. And that's the Jocelyn It's cat opened
Speaker 1: the door? Shit? Any luck? What are you doing here,
Speaker 1: Deputy Douche? Do I know you know? But I know you.
Speaker 1: You're the infamous Michelle Read and you are looking for
Speaker 1: the Williams. It doesn't seem like they're here. And why
Speaker 1: are you checking up on Ashley? I haven't heard from
Speaker 1: her all day, but I'd make sure everything was all right.
Speaker 1: It's what cops do, right, you're a real woman of
Speaker 1: the law. I haven't checked the other house yet. You
Speaker 1: want to ride rather take my own car? All right?
Speaker 1: And escort? Then? Do I have a choice. We're going
Speaker 1: to the same place, so I guess not, shall we perfect?
Speaker 1: You look like you're in pain? Let me go ask me. No,
Speaker 1: you need to take me back. No, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get what you want either of us. Are you say
Speaker 1: you want to die? Well, I don't believe it. It's
Speaker 1: the only way to stop paying. So if I said
Speaker 1: I can kill me, could you tell me what happened? God,
Speaker 1: you can. When you transition, your body is in between
Speaker 1: two states, a protected mortal shell and an mortal body.
Speaker 1: It's weakened. It's then and only then that you become
Speaker 1: vulnerable enough to die. How would you know something like that?
Speaker 1: They told me all about what you are, how you
Speaker 1: had to sacrifice Gabe to become one. What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? You really don't know. Do you don't know? What?
Speaker 1: They call you? The Moredo? The Moredo? We are right,
Speaker 1: all right. It's a cursed from nature for crimes against
Speaker 1: your fellow man. These things have been a part of
Speaker 1: the mononga HeLa for years, living in secret. They said
Speaker 1: you knew, They said you had to have known. That's
Speaker 1: what was hunting us from the start. Us you Engabe.
Speaker 1: First night we saw something in the woods that can
Speaker 1: attacked us, taste us through the force. A trip on
Speaker 1: my leg and I lost sight of game. And when
Speaker 1: I found him Steford, he kept saying he could hear
Speaker 1: them whispering to him, telling him he was going to die.
Speaker 1: I tried to get him back. I told him you
Speaker 1: were waiting for him, but we ran out of food
Speaker 1: and water and gave He just kept slipping away. And then, uh, understand.
Speaker 1: She can't understand. Don't understand. What tell me? One night
Speaker 1: I can hear him talking to them. He said they
Speaker 1: told him I was going to kill him, but I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I I tried to tell him, I won't understand. She
Speaker 1: can't tell understands. He took my knife. He attacked me.
Speaker 1: He wanted to kill me, kill. It was weak, it
Speaker 1: was it was heard. It was easy for me to
Speaker 1: take the knife away from him, and the boys is
Speaker 1: the same once. He'd been here all along, being killed,
Speaker 1: gonna be to kill, will be killed, eat or be
Speaker 1: eating killed killed. And next thing I knew, I was
Speaker 1: covered in his blood. K was sticking into it's inside
Speaker 1: with my bare handed out flash ball. I hate everything
Speaker 1: down into his bones. There was nothing left running After that,
Speaker 1: I ran, and I ran. Then not more than half
Speaker 1: a mile, I found the road we had walked for days,
Speaker 1: for weeks. I killed him less than a miles away
Speaker 1: from leaving that for us. I'm supposed to believe you.
Speaker 1: H that's it, that's what you want to do here,
Speaker 1: that's the truth. I was weak and because of that,
Speaker 1: my brother, your husband, it's going forever, and I deserved
Speaker 1: to die. I'll say it. M H. Dor as the
Speaker 1: door now, No, not take not right now? H h oh,
Speaker 1: I can't. I know it. M M M. Houses dark
Speaker 1: never bodes well. Try the door, so we illegal searching
Speaker 1: seasons are in the DOO column. Just to be clear,
Speaker 1: move mom, this is a terrible idea and you have
Speaker 1: no clue what's in there? What exactly do you think
Speaker 1: is in there? Listen, last door I found unlocked like this,
Speaker 1: the guy ended up missing in his car at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the lake and he happened to live right
Speaker 1: across the street. That councilman, Paul Douglas. Yeah, fine, go ahead, detective.
Speaker 1: I'll be right behind you after you. I'll check upstairs.
Speaker 1: You take down here, or how about I'll wait for
Speaker 1: you right here at the bottom of the steps and
Speaker 1: you do your little com thing. Yeah about your away,
Speaker 1: h Ashley Ashley, Jocelyn. No sign of anyone, know. There
Speaker 1: are things seem to be in disarray, probably when they
Speaker 1: packed to stay with her nest though, how did you
Speaker 1: know they were staying over there? I spoke with her?
Speaker 1: How much did she tell you? You're in over your
Speaker 1: head your cats? Excuse me? If Ashley is missing and
Speaker 1: Isaiah is gone, there's really only one answer. She's gonna
Speaker 1: rogue on me. Well should be surprised. Really, Wait, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about? I'm saying ash she's taken Isaiah
Speaker 1: somewhere to save him or to kill him. I can't say,
Speaker 1: but one thing's for sure. She's defected from the Ward's
Speaker 1: orders and they won't take too kind of them. Shit,
Speaker 1: you're one of them. Officially, I'm here to make sure
Speaker 1: you deliver on what you promised. Unofficially, I could use
Speaker 1: your help to track Ashley down. And why would I
Speaker 1: help you do something like that? It's simple, Ashley has Isaiah,
Speaker 1: we find Ashley, we find Isaiah, I get what I need,
Speaker 1: and you get to live. Seems fairly straightforward. Really, why Ashley?
Speaker 1: What happens to her when you find her? Don't get
Speaker 1: all worked up. Let's just say I have plans for
Speaker 1: Ashley Williams, and I can't afford to have them go
Speaker 1: all right, and now neither you ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 1: Oh almost out, You're almost out and should no, no, no, man,
Speaker 1: you can make it. You can make it. Oh one break,
Speaker 1: I'll say, Dolly, as he's been getting in her nest,
Speaker 1: let's go. I can't hold him for the world. Get
Speaker 1: in down, Welcome aboard. Yeah, yeah, I'll explain later, ready,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, buckle up. I never thought I'd be here
Speaker 1: wondering whether it's best I kill or I die for
Speaker 1: the people I love. But now that I am, I
Speaker 1: can say this for sure, I have no intention of
Speaker 1: doing either. Next time on your day. War doesn't forget,
Speaker 1: and they sure as hell don't forgive over. There's no
Speaker 1: way I'll let you go out there alone. I'm sorry.
