WEBVTT - 6 | Keep Thy Heart 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.360 I Heeart three D audio. 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:06.320 For fall exposure. Listen with that phones. 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.640 Havoc Town is a production of iHeart Podcasts and Grimm 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:16.280 and Mild from Aaron Mankey Headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised. 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:24.040 See here's the October eighteen seventeen. Have sent the boys 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.440 to stay with my sister in Concord. I hadn't the 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.880 heart to tell them of their father's dire situation. Noah 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.120 bore her departure with a sort of grim stoicism that 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:40.600 he's never shown. Is the fever taking root? Who was 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.120 he putting on a brief face? I do not know. 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:49.200 He became agitated last night, threw a plate against the mantle. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.720 His rage seemed to shadder along with it, and when 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.240 he turned to me to apologize, his eyes were filled 0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:01.360 with bloody tears. Assume we will have to bind him 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.160 to the bed with that of the ropes. Soon, Father 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.160 Abbis will begin in Vain, his fight against the devil. 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:15.000 I will be there. I will be there until the 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.039 bitter end. 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.680 I don't know about you, but I could use a 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.120 series of drinks. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.440 Better get to it, then? 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:57.720 Hold up? 0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.600 What look it is? 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.160 Coming out of the old bell knap hotel with what 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.920 looks like a wheeltor Hey, say. 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.680 Too, I know he's coming over. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.360 Hello ladies, Jerry. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.520 Hi, what you doing at the abandoned hotel? 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:16.720 Well? 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.360 I was, yeah, I was just giving it a once over. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.720 It's a lovely old building, isn't it. That would be 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.680 such a shame just to see it brought away. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.720 I think, Oh, are you considering buying it? 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.880 Well, I think that a working hotel would fit in 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.960 nicely with the Havoc entertainment district. The well the Tanneris 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.280 and factories of my forebears feel a little how shall 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.560 one put it outdated? 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:43.720 Yeah? 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.560 If I'm going to do something with them, it wouldn't 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.000 be to open the back up for their intended purposes. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.839 Yes, do go on? 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:58.000 Well, uh, imagine a regional hub for entertainment. I'm working 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.720 with the state government to loosen laws on gambon. So 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.000 a casino a casino, among other things, but a casino 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.600 as an anchor could attract a massive amount of tourism 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.840 to this region and to this town in particular. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.359 That's pretty ambitious. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.079 Well, I'm an ambitious guy. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.320 What do you what are you reading? 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:27.320 Oh? Oh, nothing at all? History or which history it's 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:28.560 not important. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.040 Come on, let me see. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.400 Yeah, it's some spicy stuff. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:42.200 Turns out I'm familiar with the spies. At any rate, 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.560 I'm late for a conference call. It was nice to 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.640 see you both, lovely surprise in an otherwise. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.280 Dull vey, The pleasure is all ours. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.960 Tomorrow night, tomorrow night. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.480 Well, have a good afternoon. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.280 Does he have to be rich and good looking? 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:10.080 Booze, booze? 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.560 I think this town could use a nice injection of energy. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.360 Imagine the business from a working hotel right across the street. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.279 No, it would be a bump. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.760 But back to the important stuff. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.480 Murder, ah, murder. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.120 This must be super weird for you. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:27.720 Huh. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.000 Finally getting the inside scoop on the old family lore. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.480 I mean, I knew it was messed up, but this 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.480 is really something else. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:37.640 Yeah. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.160 Also not thrilled about the current parallels I'm seeing with 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.520 their blood fever. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.880 Yeah, that is troubling, double trouble. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.280 Oh, filler up that a girl. I wonder how Jimbo's doing. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.719 I need to call Barbara to check in. He was 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.840 not well when we saw him last. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.120 I'm sure he'll pull through. He's a tough old bird. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:03.880 Yeah. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.840 Still, how much of that diaries left. We're getting to 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.920 the end of Demarus's bit. Looks like. 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.120 Jesus they brought the whole cavalry. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.360 That's foreboding. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.960 Yeah, it's probably nothing to courage. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:30.360 Courage. WHOA, why did you shoot it? 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:31.920 I thought we were shooting it. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.920 No, I'm not shooting a rocks glass full of whiskey, coward. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:38.960 Do you want me to keep reading? Yeah? 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.880 And for a penny and for a bound. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:50.600 Okay, okay, go it. The ninth of October eighteen seventeen. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.960 Last night, with Noah's permission, we bound him and foot 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.679 to the bed with heavy rope. He has been fever 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.119 since the evening, the sweat pouring from him in heavy 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.360 red streams that steamed the bedclothes and the mattress beneath. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.080 Josiah Praise. I do my best to keep them fed, 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.159 to put the cup to Noah's mouth. When he cries 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.600 out in thirst, I wipe his brow with cool cloths 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:28.960 from his sore muscles. Josiah Praise. In the middle of 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:34.560 the night, Noah screamed out for me to release him. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.880 He called me any number of horrible names, cursed my 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.240 soul to hell for keeping him. Died down and then, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.760 as if nothing had happened, he calmly asked after the 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:51.400 boys and throughout all, Josiah. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:57.200 Praise our Father, who art in heaven. That would be 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:02.360 thy name, will be done on earth as it is 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.520 in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bird, and 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.160 forgive us our trespasses. If we forgive those who trespass 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.679 against us, it lead us not into temptation, but deliver. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:15.840 What is it? 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.640 He is resting? We need to let him rest. The 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:26.160 devil does not rest, perhaps, but you need to eat 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:33.360 to keep up your strength. Come, no, and I prepared him, mirror. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.960 The devil will still be here when you get back. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:48.400 Very well, just a simple porridge. I've boiled water for 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:49.040 tea as well. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:57.240 Yes, thank you, Demrs. Your demeanor tells me you have 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.640 something to say out worthy. 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.080 I will speak plainly. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:02.840 Go on. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:08.160 Then, this is beyond us. It has been beyond us 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.800 from the start. Perhaps, what do you intend to do? 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:19.760 I intend to eat and then to return to No aside. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.480 Are there no more doctors, no science to help you 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.000 combat this? 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.120 Science cannot save it? Now? 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:29.240 How do you know? 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.200 Dread carefully to me. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.040 I have dread carefully throughout all of this. I have 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.440 dread carefully since her families fell. I have dread carefully 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.800 on the earth that you have displaced, digging bodies out 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.000 of the church or to defile. And none of it, 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.880 none of your prayers, or your mutilations or madness, have 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.600 even slowed the progress of this vile disease. He stood 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.680 suddenly ho for me, eyes wide with rage and sorrow. 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.840 I was terrified, and yet I stood firm. I have 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.360 tread carefully since the day I crossed the threshold into 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:13.200 this house and became your daughter in law. I held 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.760 such a deep respect for you, Josiah, a man of 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:24.480 principle of vision. But now, ah, how your parishioners have 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.200 come to fear you more than they fear the devil. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:27.920 Don't you see it? 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.160 They fear you more than the Almighty. They say that 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:36.319 you've gone bad, and you have father you have. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.240 Further, will often present this madness to those who refused 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:47.360 to see God's light. My daughter, we are not judged 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:52.240 in the end by our easy acts of faith. We 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.959 are judged by our actions, and times such as these 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:01.680 we need help the Lord's protection. Dare you deign to 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:02.880 speak for the Lord? 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.319 I do not know what we expected to fight. It 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:14.319 was not Noah, bright eyed, tears rolling down his face, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.920 a bittific smile on his lips, through the slinger. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:24.480 Block sweat, My son, Oh, my son, you look father. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:31.080 I have I seen an angel of the Lord. I 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:37.400 have instructions Father, for you. Gather amerind and garlic from 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.520 the woods, and with holy water, make a tea and 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.280 bring it to me. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:49.600 Yes, yes, of course, demeriuse watch over him. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:51.080 Yes I will. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:54.640 I shall return shortly. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.840 And with that he was gone. When I turned back 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.360 to Noah, his demeanor had changed once more. There was 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:11.960 fear there and something else, resignation. Noah, what is it? 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.120 We must speak quickly, my love. There was no angel, 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.199 There was nothing, But I must speak to you alone. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.920 Your father has gone mad. You've said as much yourself. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.880 We need to get you from the house. Then we 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.360 need to hide you somewhere, Oh. 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:36.080 Darling, No demeris this illness is taking me. It is 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.160 too late to do anything about it. I have been 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.559 gifted this moment of clarity, but it soon will pass 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.280 and I will be lost to this world. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.439 Noah, it is done. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.800 It was done when I first was bitten. It is 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.720 a miserable then, but I must face it, Collect the 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.520 boys and run far from this place, far from my father, 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.280 who is lost as well. In his own way. His 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.680 will is great and terrible love, and he will not 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.160 stop this insane battle that he imagines with the devil 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:19.280 until every timber in every home is consumed. I have 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.360 spent the last few years scratching and saving in secret 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.120 in the sanctuary. There is a loose board in the 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.880 northwest corner, a shade darker from the boards around it. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.880 I have hidden funds there in a satchel, enough to 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.000 secure travel away and three months living wherever you go. 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.400 I am sorry it was not more. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.080 Do not return, Do not look back. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:52.800 Where did you cat? 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.600 I was going to tell you about this before the 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:59.800 sickness came to us. Why for us to give you 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.760 the choice to stay or to go with me, to 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:10.440 live a life away from my father. I was never 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.959 called to the cloth, I was forced towards it by 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:19.199 his beliefs. I wanted so much to. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.439 No hear, drink drink. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.760 We were never to be given a chance to forge 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.319 a life of our own, and so I would steal it. 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.240 But my chance is gone. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.000 Oh no, I can't just leave you. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:44.840 Listen, you are a widow. Now you must take the boys. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.600 Do you understand this place has become a snare? Do 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:55.840 not become entrapped. The illness will end us. All promise me, 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:07.480 Promise me, I promise. Good, darling, good.

I saw 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:43.680 her there, half naked, tattered rags hanging from her soot 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.240 from the fire that took her, covering the whole of 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:54.120 her body.

If a living woman were to scream so 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.120 her vocal chords would strain and snap in a cush 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:24.000 of blood. A mortal scream, the scream of continuous dying 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:30.800 without the mercy of death. You see, the flame that 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.960 took her did not stop devouring her flesh and death. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:40.480 It was continuing on consuming her in great licks, her 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:46.000 skin peeling and crisping, great blisters of blood and puss 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.920 popping and running down her, further feeding the flame. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.400 Stop stop you and not yourself. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:59.120 I have never been more myself wife as I was 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.360 when she implored me for help, told me that she 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:08.520 would do anything, anything for me to lessen her torment. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.439 She begged for me to lend my moisture to still 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.640 the flames, if only for a moment, spittle. 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:24.840 Piss anything, wife. 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.360 You two have taken to medis. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.960 But I would piss upon her, not to lessen her agony, 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:33.879 for I was enjoying it. 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.320 So it quickened the blood in tens and oh. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:42.400 How I fantasized watching her about how I would inflict 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:48.480 these agonies upon her daughter.

Yes, I'm sure it's nothing as 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.920 operatic as Noah's death, right. 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.680 I mean, we just had an axe murderer out here 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:17.399 last week. 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:23.439 Good point, Hey Bill, what's going on?

We rounded the 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.400 corner to find his house, an old saltbox style all 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:53.000 timber from two hundred years ago, up in flames. The 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:56.080 hoses were blasting water into the home trying to put 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:57.480 it out, when suddenly. 0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:59.480 Oh my god, he's in there. 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.240 There stood old Tom Stabina in the top floor window, 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:10.399 naked and covered in soot, his hair singed off what 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:15.359 flesh you could still see sean a horrible bloody red 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.719 and then he's gotta gown. With an old hunting rifle, 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.879 he opened fire on the crowd. 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.440 Everybody down, down. 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.800 Everything happened in a horrible, bloody mess, people diving for 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:34.680 cover everywhere as Old Tom raved and shot. The fire 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.560 host suddenly unattended, wildly flying through the air, blasting water 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:44.480 in all directions, returned fire, and Tom disappearing back into 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:48.400 the window in a fine mist of pink. 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.080 Clear clear. 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:52.560 Is anyone hit? 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:53.920 Is any one hit? 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:54.920 Sylvie? 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.400 I'm okay, we need to get out of here. 0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:05.600 Yeah, it was a blur. Everything felt abstract and far off. 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.120 The second time and under a month that we were 0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:14.560 processing the horror of this violence. We held hands as 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.600 we ran away through the throngs, Sylvie's hand sweaty and 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.439 solid in my own, the only real thing in a 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:27.280 world that was fast becoming meaningless. And then we were 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:36.040 safe home at the bar, and shock in the familiar quiet. 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:44.119 My god, Tom, what the hell is happening? 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:44.440 Grid? 0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:49.040 I think something big is coming, big, bigger than this. 0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:53.159 I don't know, I don't know. It's a feeling, you know, dread, 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.200 just massive dread. 0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:58.400 Tom's dead. 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.159 He's dead. He is a real piece of work. But 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:05.399 now he's dead. Did you see him up there? He 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:06.159 was insane. 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.640 It's the same look I saw in Jimbo's eyes after 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.840 the funeral when he attacked Ken. It was the look 0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.800 in Bachman's eyes when he came at me with the axe. 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.040 It's what Demeras wrote about. 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:25.760 You said there was more, Yeah, there was another entry. 0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:29.320 You think it'll tell us how to deal with salt this. 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.800 I mean, I can't imagine, barn Please we. 0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:36.040 Just please please? 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:50.080 Huh what what it's just a paragraph? Well, uh, Josiah 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.879 has gone up the hill. He has the steak. He 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.640 is going after a Havoc. He is mad. I will 0:25:55.680 --> 0:26:02.760 stop him, and then that's all. That's all she wrote. 0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:07.240 I mean, the book itself goes on. After this entry 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:10.159 occurred the murder of Sophia Havoc at the Havoc estate. 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.040 The diary was found in the church soon after the 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:16.520 murder's pages torn out of the back. Josiah himself was 0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:22.880 found in the sanctuary, hanging from the rafters of the rectory. Rush. 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.280 It looks like here, it looks like there's more about 0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:31.320 the illness and the aftermath in the next chapter. But 0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.760 oh god, Sylvie, I have to stop for now. 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:39.040 Yeah, I understand, it's all too much. 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:44.480 I don't think I can pross this anymore today. 0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:50.040 But who's given the choice to fully disengage? As we 0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:54.920 sat there, shells shocked, we saw the first military vehicles 0:26:55.000 --> 0:27:01.439 roll into town, alongside numerous black SUVs. Become familiar with 0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.960 those sites over the coming days. I should have been 0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:11.280 relieved as they passed by the cavalry, but that feeling 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:16.280 in my gut, the dread, it only deepened. 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:25.040 Should I get it? 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:35.919 It can't be good news, You just can't might it. 0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:49.120 Ring Havoctown was created by me Aaron Mankey.
