Hi.

0:00

This is Catherine Seton. I'm the sun

0:02

designer and composer on the hidden people.

0:05

We wanted to warn you that the opening few

0:07

minutes of this episode episode is a depiction of

0:09

a disaster scene. If you'd rather skip

0:11

this bit, then the title sequence starts at

0:13

around three minutes and twenty seconds into

0:15

the episode.

0:16

The hidden people contains mature

0:19

language, content and

0:21

themes. Please listen

0:24

with care.

0:39

This is as close as we can get. Come

0:41

on. It's still a few blocks away.

0:49

We can't be careful. There'll

0:51

be lot of humans around the scene. We

0:53

need to keep a lot of profiles to talk

0:55

about it only and stay with

0:58

it. It come for us. If we hurry,

1:00

so we might be able to catch Morgan. You

1:02

really want to go against her again? It

1:04

just seems able to do all this. If

1:07

the building fell on her too, she might be

1:09

weekend. It's her best shot to take her

1:11

down, and that freaking bitch is going

1:13

down. Oh,

1:18

gloves.

1:20

I can't see anything. Can you?

1:22

No.

1:26

There's

1:26

too much smoke and dust. She

1:29

was steaming on the basketball court when she screamed

1:32

so she'll be right in the middle. We

1:35

can't climb over on this road. better

1:38

apartment building has a fire escape through.

1:41

We can get better you up there.

1:56

manager.

2:01

She's gone. Everything

2:03

bushes out work from circle in the middle.

2:06

It must have been where she was standing. She's

2:09

long gone by now. Fuck. should

2:14

go. We should be able to do something.

2:17

Something to help. This is going to be breaking

2:20

news. You

2:22

can't be seen. and

2:24

there are first responders on the knee.

2:26

They don't have magic. Your magic

2:28

can't bring back the dead mckinnon.

2:31

There's nothing we can do. Sorry.

2:35

Fine. Give

2:37

me the chart.

2:43

Shaili is right on both counts.

2:45

There is nothing they can do and it will be

2:48

the main news story for weeks. There

2:50

will be at least one home video online

2:52

that if you know what a look

2:55

shows two figures seemingly disappear

2:57

on a rooftop in the distance.

3:00

The human world will look for an explanation

3:03

a reason, a group or person

3:05

to blame for the vicious and meaningless

3:07

loss of life on that day.

3:10

but sometimes there is no bigger plan.

3:13

For some monsters, destruction

3:16

for destruction's sake is enough.

3:37

Dayton Wider's movement presents the

3:40

Lopez Alexander Chilton.

3:44

and Luna Madison.

4:15

Season three episode four

4:17

team, the ties that bind.

4:20

Written by Alexia Fedfisher directed

4:23

by Kristen Meghan Burnside, also

4:26

starring Tara Brown, Aaron

4:28

Crane, Aaron Echo Lopez,

4:31

Daniel Gunther, and Mary

4:33

Snack.

4:39

Sorry, Mac and Shaylie left you behind.

4:42

Oh, it's by

4:42

design. I'm the backup for when

4:44

things go ass wise.

4:47

But this has to be boring.

4:49

The waiting.

4:51

I'm sure Thomas is whipping up something

4:54

delicious for Alfie and the other McKenna.

4:56

If you'd rather Nope. I've

4:57

got my orders and I'll follow

4:59

them

5:01

orders. Oh, I

5:04

mean, hey, I'm trying to think of a good

5:06

catch phrase when I rush in to save the day. Riley.

5:10

At first, I was thinking, tears love.

5:12

The Cavalry is here, but

5:14

I'm

5:14

not British. and no one except Alfie

5:17

would get it. Maybe, like,

5:19

a pun with my

5:20

name.

5:22

Riley. Yeah. But what

5:24

if I used my name to replace really?

5:27

Like, it's a really good thing.

5:29

I'm here.

5:33

Wow.

5:34

You have a bad

5:35

joke, hotkey on your soundboard.

5:38

I'm

5:38

friends without fee.

5:40

Fair enough. I'll work

5:43

on it.

5:44

What orders Riley?

5:47

Well,

5:48

Mac

5:50

said that, you know, with the time vote

5:52

on mention coming up, maybe

5:54

you shouldn't be alone?

5:57

It should he'll be weeks away. Yeah.

5:59

And Vodan's a bad guy.

6:02

He lies. Better be safe and

6:05

sorry. I don't need a babysitter.

6:08

But I'm the cool kind of babysitter.

6:10

We can eat ice cream for dinner. and

6:13

watch our rated movies.

6:15

Are

6:15

you sure you wouldn't rather do all that with Alfie?

6:18

That's our Tuesday nights. Come

6:20

on. Don't think of it as babysitting.

6:22

We're just two gal pals

6:24

hanging out. Fine.

6:27

I

6:27

guess I can't make you leave. That's the

6:29

spirit.

6:35

So what to work and on.

6:38

You know computer

6:41

hacky stuff? Don't

6:43

worry about it. It's not important. You

6:46

know I think everything you do is so

6:48

cool. I wish I had

6:50

half the talent you do. It's

6:52

more experience than talent.

6:54

Then I wish I had double the

6:56

experience that I have.

7:00

Okay.

7:02

Only one way to get there. Grab

7:04

an extra laptop. Whoo.

7:06

What are we looking for?

7:08

It's who. Trying

7:11

to

7:11

find a man who attended the music and meditation

7:14

for Peace Fast in nineteen

7:15

ninety one.

7:16

Any man or

7:18

a specific one. Actually,

7:21

we could probably find all of

7:23

them. MMP isn't exactly woodstock

7:26

sized.

7:26

Start with all.

7:28

After you get names, find current addresses,

7:30

and then physical characteristics from

7:32

their motor vehicle record.

7:34

Could be across multiple states,

7:36

so multiple databases

7:39

to search. What's

7:41

the best way to compile

7:42

the data. You

7:44

ever work with pivot tables?

8:05

Oh, McKenna, you're okay. What

8:07

happened with Morgan? she's gone.

8:09

We couldn't get close enough to the circle to

8:11

follow her, and we

8:13

couldn't find any reason why she would attack

8:15

there. other than,

8:16

you know, the massive amount of people

8:18

congregated in one place.

8:19

That isn't what the hidden people do.

8:22

They have

8:22

contract and rituals and With

8:24

placing children with change links.

8:27

Hi, but even that was sneaky

8:28

and restricted. a limited number

8:31

on a specific day and the human world was

8:33

never the wiser. But this is

8:35

blatant and obvious. Other

8:37

than the magic scream,

8:40

this feels too human.

8:42

The

8:42

television is also treating

8:43

this as though it were a non magical

8:46

attack.

8:46

people speaking at us continually compare

8:49

it to a fractional number. Maybe

8:52

that's a good thing. The word at

8:54

large figuring out that magic is real would create

8:56

massive panic and piss off

8:58

a bunch of people that didn't get their Hogwarts

9:00

letters. Maybe they even cried at their eleventh

9:02

birthday party you mean like you, Albie? Shut up, ness. I

9:04

know it wasn't me. I got over it eventually.

9:06

High school. Yeah. High school still counts

9:08

as eventually.

9:10

Responding like this as an act of human aggression might

9:12

be the best thing. If Morgan

9:14

didn't have some medical reason

9:16

for attack, if she did it just

9:18

to kill as many people as

9:20

possible and all

9:21

the precautions, the event cancelling,

9:24

the increased security, might

9:26

stop her from attacking again. I'm

9:29

really hoping we didn't just jinx

9:31

it. It's

9:32

not an attack. It's an Amber

9:35

alert.

9:36

And another one.

9:39

Who is Amber?

9:41

And why is she alarming us?

9:43

That's

9:44

my European self. I'm

9:46

not looking forward to the Roman charters and

9:49

oh,

9:49

no.

9:50

Markets?

9:52

I

9:53

They're just babes. The same

9:56

here.

9:56

All infants taken from their homes.

9:59

No sign of

9:59

intruders. We need to

10:01

know how many. Yes,

10:03

sir.

10:03

Maybe it was a bad

10:06

idea to give our two techies a vacation.

10:08

Does anyone else

10:08

know how to computer? In scrolling the

10:11

headlines on the phone, no. have to be

10:13

at least two dozen from around the

10:15

world.

10:15

All the same age?

10:17

None

10:18

over a year old.

10:20

Twenty something infants.

10:22

What's

10:23

their exact age? You

10:26

think they're all the same age? If

10:28

I'm right. but I really

10:30

hope I'm wrong. The three near

10:32

us are about six months old.

10:34

When was her birthday? Hold

10:36

on. They

10:38

wouldn't. It's

10:40

a bastardization of the right.

10:42

I don't think the old ones care about

10:44

dogma anymore. August

10:46

twenty sixth. That seems

10:48

familiar. Oh, fuck.

10:51

That's the date of the last

10:53

reaping. the one we

10:55

stopped. They're stealing kids to

10:57

replace all the fetches we saved.

10:59

And which of the old ones has a

11:02

penchant for making out of wounds

11:04

that young.

11:28

Okay. that's everybody

11:31

present and unaccounted for. You're

11:33

sure. Yep. Got

11:35

official ticket sales numbers from the environmental

11:37

sponsor. and figured out the gender

11:39

breakdown from the headlining band stage

11:41

photos. There are one hundred

11:43

twenty six eligible bachelor's.

11:45

Well,

11:47

there were. These guys are

11:49

like

11:50

thirty years older now,

11:52

possibly rows.

11:56

Possibly. Let's

11:59

start by

11:59

filtering the table. Filtering.

12:02

So we are looking for someone in particular. I'm

12:05

just showing you how to. Yeah.

12:07

But why? What's

12:09

his story? His motivation? It's

12:11

new to know. Yeah.

12:13

And my unbridled curiosity

12:15

and thirst for knowledge, need

12:17

to know. Look, do you know how to filter

12:19

a pivot table or not? Yeah.

12:22

I think I got the hang of it. Okay.

12:28

Look for guys who were in their early twenties

12:30

to mid thirties during the concert.

12:36

That's

12:36

one hundred and one.

12:38

Guess this

12:39

appeals to a certain type of

12:42

guy. They're not

12:44

local. Filter out anyone who lived in Wayne

12:46

County either during the concert

12:48

or now.

12:50

a

12:50

certain type of guy that isn't willing

12:53

to travel because we're down to

12:55

fifteen.

12:55

How many have grown

12:57

eyes? Four. Pull

12:59

up their photos.

13:01

That

13:03

one.

13:04

Hello, mister Brian

13:07

with a y Anderson,

13:09

come on down looking

13:11

up socials and digital

13:13

footprint. That's

13:16

alright.

13:16

I've already got them. You've

13:18

already wait. What?

13:21

How? We

13:21

just found him. You

13:23

just found him.

13:25

I got him an hour ago.

13:27

Fudge pops and you let

13:29

me doggy paddle in the digital

13:31

pool while you already finished the race?

13:34

Yep. And what

13:35

did you learn? Formating

13:38

a pivot table for the first time took

13:40

a good twenty minutes. And

13:43

I

13:43

probably coulda skipped the magazine and photo

13:45

head count and just done an image similarity

13:47

search

13:47

to get crowdsourced photos and

13:49

pull personal info from there. Could

13:52

you do it

13:52

faster next time?

13:54

absitively, positively. That's how

13:56

you're good experience. finding

13:59

what doesn't work,

13:59

what does, and what can be done faster.

14:02

Thank you for the lesson, Sensei.

14:05

Not done yet. We've got to meet the guy.

14:07

Already got his most recent address from

14:09

his ID.

14:10

Okay. Let me show you

14:12

how I find circles for Mac and Shaili using

14:14

Satellite

14:14

Aid. Wait. We can't go

14:17

yet.

14:18

Why not? We

14:20

don't know anything about the guy.

14:24

Yeah. And we're going to go to find

14:26

out. No. Like,

14:28

when Shealy was training anglings and

14:30

shit. She would stalk them

14:32

ahead of time so she could

14:34

integrate into their daily lives for

14:36

observation and so

14:38

casual, maintenance.

14:40

Yeah. That's pretty much

14:42

what she did with Mac and the rest of us. but

14:44

we don't need to. But

14:46

Shaili had Dane do all the research,

14:49

so now she doesn't have anyone.

14:54

Me? Yes. Exactly.

14:57

Teach

14:57

me how to stock people.

15:00

Digitally. I think

15:01

the integrating into their daily lives

15:03

bit is more a shitty psychology

15:05

thing.

15:05

I just

15:06

need the tools to get the info

15:09

to give to Shaili. Come

15:10

on, there's gotta be more to it than just

15:12

stealthreading them on social media.

15:14

which I've already done to our mystery, man.

15:17

You already -- Yep. -- fifty

15:18

three works as a mechanic, profile

15:21

pick as a selfie where he looks half

15:23

suspicious of the camera. Typical

15:26

tech confused early gen

15:28

xer. At least he doesn't post

15:30

any bullet school memes.

15:31

Wait. I thought you already got his digital

15:34

tracks. Why are you so surprised?

15:36

I just hacked into personal account to see

15:39

what ads they've programmed based on his searches.

15:41

Whoa. Brilliant.

15:45

Yo. He's got hemorrhoids, or

15:48

he

15:48

thinks he does. No

15:50

need to

15:50

Google it if you know you've got it.

15:53

maybe I don't want

15:55

to know anymore about his personal life.

15:58

Can you show

15:59

me how to do that

15:59

satellite thingy instead? Try

16:02

to think through it on your own. What

16:04

do you think you need to do

16:06

first?

16:29

Not

16:31

quite age

16:33

enough, but Black Anna still finds

16:35

these ones quite delicious.

16:39

Oh, there's good reason for the

16:41

sock being a bit young, a

16:44

delicious irony. But

16:46

hope believe it's enough that you're not

16:49

tiffed anymore about being left

16:51

out of the fun. Morgan

16:53

haunted babes without Black Annis,

16:55

Morgan staged an attack on the

16:58

humans without blackheads. You could

17:00

say I brought down the

17:02

house. Morgan has

17:06

been doing many things

17:08

without including Black

17:10

Annis, without telling

17:12

Black Annis, until average

17:14

is done. Even if

17:16

the results do benefit back

17:18

in us, Morgan should

17:20

seek sisterly advice before being

17:23

so reckless. Oh, it

17:25

all turned out fine

17:27

and when the wild hunt.

17:30

takes place. None of this would matter

17:32

anyway might as

17:34

well enjoy ourselves. Until

17:38

Vodan awakes from his reveries,

17:40

we have no new orders.

17:42

No idea what specific

17:45

plans he wants us to follow.

17:47

I'm just trying to anticipate

17:50

what would please him

17:51

the most. all

17:53

the

17:53

more reason for Morgan to

17:56

include Black Annis.

17:59

Black Annis has been at

18:01

vote on side and

18:03

served him much longer

18:06

than Morgan. I'd

18:08

love for us to

18:10

create our mischief

18:11

together dear sister,

18:13

but my plans

18:16

require integration and

18:18

stealth. And you will

18:20

You're no longer the

18:22

spring chicken you

18:23

once were.

18:25

My goodness is

18:28

still formidable. in the

18:30

marshal and magical

18:33

art. You stick out like a

18:35

fungal salamander and an

18:37

eternal love potion. Look,

18:41

I get it. You've been

18:43

working for Vodan from the

18:45

shadows for so long that you've

18:47

let yourself go.

18:49

Forgotten some self

18:51

care. Just let

18:53

me be the face of the

18:55

operation. My

18:57

heart. I can

18:59

shake things up with some fresh ideas.

19:02

Morgan's ideas are not

19:04

the way things our time. Morgan

19:06

is abandoning the old ways.

19:08

That's the point of the

19:10

wild hunt. Isn't it?

19:12

to erase the old

19:15

and restart with

19:17

the new Morgan

19:20

thinks Black Annis is

19:22

the old. be forgotten.

19:25

Not

19:25

if you can help it, dear

19:27

sister. Get with

19:29

the times

19:31

or

19:31

get left. behind. Morgan

19:35

is

19:37

foolish but again

19:40

is cannot be left behind. Black

19:42

Handys is

19:45

important. Has

19:50

this one come to apologize?

19:54

Not in the slightest. Oh oh, Lord

19:56

Vodan has woken from his

19:58

slumber. Forgive Black Ann is for

19:59

thinking you were That

20:03

Ennis is honored.

20:05

That hold on visits

20:07

the glut. I do not have time for

20:09

your primal. No. You do

20:12

not. all that sleep and you are still so

20:15

tired. What have you

20:16

done? Oh,

20:18

this. Black Ennis was

20:21

just having a little snack.

20:23

The stadium. All those humans that

20:25

are now on high alert weeks before we can

20:27

begin the wild hunt. That was not

20:29

like an s. That was

20:32

Morgan. Your beloved

20:33

sister, whom I returned

20:35

to you. At great

20:38

personal costs,

20:38

Though somehow you're even weaker

20:41

now than before. And

20:43

yet you just let her run

20:45

wild, heedless of any great plan

20:47

or preparation.

20:48

Well, hold on. You

20:51

see? Pat one just wanted

20:53

to keep active to show

20:55

the happening and it's friends

20:58

that we were not wounded. That's

21:01

all. And

21:01

you, the one I put so much

21:04

trust in, to bring about my return

21:06

to power. Careful now,

21:08

you won't look so powerful if

21:10

you pass out from overexerting

21:13

yourself. And

21:14

you can't keep one witchling

21:16

in check. That

21:17

one doesn't listen to my

21:20

hand. That one fell superior to

21:22

you otherwise. Robin's failure with

21:24

his little human cult, the master

21:26

of shadows ingratiating the

21:28

fetch deeper into the Haffling circle,

21:31

and now the combined

21:33

disappointment of Morgan's undisciplined schemes

21:35

and your lack of political attitude

21:37

towards it all Perhaps it

21:39

would be better if none of the old ones

21:42

joined me in the wild hunt. Oh,

21:44

no. Please hold on its

21:46

angry now. Yes.

21:48

Yes. But this can be fixed.

21:51

Black Ann is convinced this. Black

21:53

Ann is working. don't

21:54

care how it is done. Take care

21:56

of your sister or this will be the last revolution

21:58

of time you've seen. Good

22:02

delegating, but all that yelling has

22:04

made you dizzy enough to see triple. Lead

22:06

now, while you still have your

22:09

dignity. Yes.

22:10

black hardest

22:13

things hold on for the

22:15

second chance. Black

22:17

hardest will take care of.

22:52

I didn't know towns like

22:53

this still existed. Not

22:56

everywhere is a big city.

22:58

No, but This is even smaller

23:01

than Conley, which

23:03

is

23:03

tiny compared to my Itty Bitty

23:06

hometown. This is a town where

23:08

everyone still knows each other. Do you

23:10

think that's why Brian with

23:12

a y didn't answer his

23:14

door? because we're scary lady city slickers.

23:17

No one was home.

23:21

and you think we'll maybe find him

23:23

if we just walk down Main Street, I'll

23:26

conspicuous like. There's no

23:27

point in waiting around for him on

23:29

his front porch. might as

23:31

well enjoy the quietness of flyover country. But

23:34

there's nothing here.

23:37

I've been to actual small towns before, but they

23:39

were all touristy with horse drawn

23:42

buggies and food shops on

23:44

every corner. All the shops are

23:46

either closed for the day or

23:48

closed for

23:48

good. Car stolen the driveway.

23:51

Only thing in walking distance

23:54

is small town with nothing to do. Where do

23:56

you think he is, Riley?

23:58

I have no idea.

24:03

And what do you do when you have no

24:05

idea? Oh,

24:07

oh, this is a test. go back

24:11

to the apartment and use satellites to

24:13

track them from space. Something

24:16

you can do here. Something

24:19

simple. Something

24:22

simple. Something I haven't

24:23

done yet. simply

24:27

enough. Oh,

24:29

Google, have I

24:31

so quickly, forsaken

24:34

me? What did the

24:36

almighty search engine god say

24:38

to the inquiry of

24:40

his name?

24:42

Oh, fuck. Yep.

24:44

Nessa, he's

24:45

day he's I

24:47

know. Do

24:49

you think it's a coincidence our walk ended up here? They

24:53

still

24:53

bury people in cemeteries this

24:56

old.

24:56

That's what his obituary says.

24:58

And you knew

25:00

you knew before we

25:02

left that we were too late.

25:04

Why did we still come out here?

25:06

You said you wanted

25:07

my talents. I said you

25:09

needed

25:09

my experience.

25:12

This

25:13

is part of the experience.

25:16

I've bugged

25:17

you to teach me

25:19

stuff a gazillion times.

25:22

Why are you giving

25:22

me the hands on course now? I'm

25:25

the one the team relies on for

25:28

detailed recollections.

25:29

for all things technical, but

25:32

I can't

25:33

be that for them forever.

25:37

You want

25:38

You want me to be the

25:41

next nissa?

25:43

You can't be me.

25:46

I can't

25:47

give you an idetic memory

25:50

or my snarky attitude. I

25:52

don't

25:53

want you to be me. I

25:55

want you to be Riley.

25:57

What Riley ish

25:59

characteristics are you referring to

26:02

here?

26:02

You are a perpetual student.

26:05

If there's something

26:06

you don't know, you dive in

26:09

wholeheartedly and vessel it until you know from

26:11

every angle. I can't

26:13

teach you everything, but I

26:15

can give you the tools to figure it out

26:17

for yourself. You

26:19

really do think of me as your protege.

26:22

You're as annoying as

26:24

Alfie sometimes. But I

26:29

know I can trust you to do everything you

26:31

can to help our friends.

26:33

There's no one else I would rather pass my

26:35

white hat on to.

26:37

I will wear it with pride and

26:40

honor.

26:40

I know it's

26:42

just a concept, but you don't have

26:44

an actual hat. Right?

26:46

It's a metaphor. No.

26:50

Yeah. Of course. I've never seen

26:52

you wear a hat. I

26:54

can make my own. It's

26:57

just a metaphor, Riley. Like,

27:00

now I kinda want one. I'll

27:02

step aside to and get started.

27:04

You go ahead. I

27:07

should pay my respects. To

27:10

Brian with AYI thought

27:12

he was just a training tool.

27:14

Do

27:15

you know him?

27:17

I didn't know him,

27:19

but It

27:21

feels polite.

27:24

Oh, should I come

27:25

with? I can say nice

27:28

things. No. It's

27:30

fine. Get started

27:32

on your headwear search. I'll message

27:34

you when I'm ready to head back.

27:36

II0 captain my

27:39

captain.

28:16

Another

28:16

one. No. It's an update.

28:19

when if the kids deserve covered.

28:20

That's good news. That's not

28:23

possible. Well,

28:23

it happened soon. But they

28:25

did it to mimic the reaping.

28:27

thirty babies all born August twenty

28:30

sixth. If one cut away, that makes

28:32

twenty nine. It would be impossible

28:34

for such a young human to escape on

28:36

its own. Could it be a

28:38

changeling? Fetches are replaced in

28:40

secret. The changeling would have been swapped before

28:42

anyone noticed things were

28:44

a miss. So if the

28:46

older ones just let it go,

28:48

why? What's the point of kidnapping a

28:50

bunch of kids and then releasing one?

28:53

It to trap. The only ones that

28:55

they would be looking to snare are

28:57

us. We would be wise to not take

28:59

the bait. It's the only clue we've

29:01

got. McKenna, do you think

29:03

you'd be able to rescue the other kids if you

29:05

knew where they were? If it's who I

29:07

think

29:07

it is, It would be whatever are

29:09

so alive. We have to try.

29:13

Oh, it's definitely who you think

29:15

it is. How are you

29:17

certain? Well,

29:19

the kid was found

29:20

near the cliffs of Dean.

29:23

and it had blue paint smeared

29:26

on its forehead. Come

29:27

on,

29:28

Shaili. We're gonna beat that witch

29:30

until she's black and blue.

29:34

but she is already. It

29:36

would make

29:37

more sense to beat her until

29:39

she is red. with blood.

29:42

Oh, you were getting so close to

29:44

properly making bad jokes. We'll work

29:45

on

29:47

it.

30:44

Unlike

30:44

our previous cemetery scenes in this tale,

30:47

here there is no talking, no

30:49

friendly observers watching from

30:51

a distance no heartfelt

30:53

graveside confessions. Misses

30:55

the type that talks to her computer,

30:57

not a marble stone.

30:59

So she stands. and thinks

31:02

and says nothing. Until

31:05

Can

31:06

I help you?

31:08

No. Sorry. Just paying my

31:11

respects. I'll get out of your

31:13

way.

31:13

Wait. Did you know my

31:16

dad?

31:16

Your

31:19

Brian's daughter? No.

31:22

I didn't.

31:24

well, I didn't know him as well as

31:26

you could, as well as I

31:29

would have liked.

31:30

I'm NASA. Rachel, Did

31:34

we meet at the funeral? You look

31:36

familiar. No.

31:38

I just found out he passed. I'm

31:41

sorry for your loss. Thank

31:44

you. How did you know

31:46

my dad? Well,

31:49

let's see.

31:51

You're about

31:52

twenty two

31:54

in college? Twenty three.

31:56

I graduated last year and

31:58

moved back after mom

31:59

died. You lost both

32:02

of your

32:02

parents in a year.

32:05

Yeah. Mom to cancer,

32:07

dad to a broken

32:10

heart. He was so lost

32:12

without her.

32:13

But it's a comfort that they're together

32:16

again. They were together

32:18

a long

32:19

time then. High

32:21

school sweethearts? No. Why

32:24

are you asking? Were

32:26

they together about

32:28

twenty nine years ago?

32:30

No. They didn't meet until a

32:32

couple

32:32

years before I was born. What

32:35

is this about? Okay.

32:37

So he didn't.

32:40

Good. That's

32:41

good. I've

32:43

never met Brian,

32:46

but he's my dad.

32:49

and that makes you my half

32:51

sister.

33:28

The halfling comes.

33:31

Where are you in it? Where

33:34

are the kids? Muck,

33:36

if this is a truck, you're not doing this any

33:38

favors by announcing this. She

33:39

knows we're coming. she wants

33:42

us to come. So here we

33:44

are. What have you got, Penny?

33:46

There she's not just wants me.

33:49

Yeah.

33:49

This one doesn't care.

33:50

Where are the

33:53

kids? In

33:56

black anuses. Tell

33:58

me. ends

33:59

up rage from being

34:02

powerless to stop the attack from the

34:04

stadium from being too late

34:06

to say children bubbles

34:08

over, and Makena attacks.

34:11

Makena's

34:11

sight may be pure iron, but so

34:14

are black

34:16

Annis' claws. While age has slowed her

34:18

reactions to Makena's swings and

34:20

jabs, her eons

34:22

that experience keep her just

34:24

out of harms way.

34:26

Why did

34:27

you do it? People, it's

34:30

children. What's going

34:32

on's plan? like Hannah's

34:34

needing to lift her

34:36

finger towards her ambitious

34:37

sister that reads such a speak

34:39

and all of her own machinations

34:41

without far from what

34:44

path? Don't lie.

34:46

There has to be a reason.

34:48

Why else

34:49

leave us here? Why release

34:51

that child? Why not?

34:54

Why not? What

34:58

not? You

35:00

had Shaili's iron

35:01

musketball pierce his black ass full

35:03

in the chest. The force of the hit sending

35:05

her a few steps

35:08

back, it should be the end of the witch.

35:10

And our heroes wait for the

35:12

inevitable cracking before they

35:15

run from explosion. Oh,

35:20

shit. That's

35:22

intense. spare.

35:25

Mckenna

35:25

holds her sight to Black Annis'

35:28

throat ready to

35:30

behead her. That was

35:32

iron. Pure iron. Why

35:34

aren't you dead? That

35:37

harness has caused made of

35:40

iron if they weren't

35:42

protected, existence with them,

35:44

with the agony. Many of

35:46

the old ones have developed protection. Then

35:49

how do I kill

35:52

you? This

35:56

one cannot but

35:57

your sisters can die.

35:59

The

35:59

dead die. You said you were the

36:02

lust of

36:03

your kind. How? How did your

36:05

sisters die? These unseek to be witch

36:08

carers not have borne that

36:10

title in

36:12

generation. none left to train these

36:14

ones. Their secrets were

36:16

from the sky with my

36:20

sister Mara. and we're

36:22

buried with my sister

36:24

Morgan that has a

36:26

well known forest hold her body.

36:29

and the weapon struck

36:31

her out, but

36:34

only one left

36:36

the grave.

36:38

then it should still be there. Whatever killed

36:42

Morgan. These ones

36:44

better hurry.

36:47

or the wild hunt might

36:49

kill them before these

36:52

ones even have

36:54

a chance. What is

36:56

the wild hunt? A wild

36:59

hunt. A wild hunt is born

37:01

on tradition and trials. Hold

37:03

on would read the world of all the

37:06

unworthy, and only

37:09

his chosen shall

37:12

remain. He's going to end

37:13

the world. His

37:15

foolish child. He

37:17

will rule it. recreated

37:20

as he sees fit as

37:23

he has done since

37:25

the first cycle of

37:28

time itself. He's

37:29

done this before,

37:30

destroyed everything over and

37:32

over again. When

37:33

you said you've seen

37:36

time repeat, You

37:36

meant it literally. The younglings thought they

37:38

could strike down vote on, stop

37:40

the wild hunt, but they

37:43

nearly delayed the inevitable. and

37:46

brought about their own

37:49

destruction. Anything else we need to

37:52

know before I separate

37:52

your head from your shoulders? didn't

37:56

the halfling want to know

37:58

where the beads are.

38:00

You didn't

38:02

eat them all. only two

38:04

or three. Blackness is

38:06

sin is pride, not letting

38:10

me. What's

38:12

that? Hang's like.

38:14

Fuck you Winston.

38:17

Get off me. Black

38:21

Annis uses the distraction to get away from

38:24

Makena's intimidating scythe.

38:26

She slowed from the gunshot wound

38:28

but quick enough to flee to a

38:30

nearby circle and retreat to fight another day.

38:37

I'm

38:40

following

38:42

her. She's weak. We

38:44

don't know how long we have until Morgan comes back. Or if Black

38:46

Annie's is going to get her now, we should

38:49

get the kids and get

38:51

out of here. Fine.

38:54

Let's find him. Mckenna and Shaili

38:57

won't

38:57

be which killers today, but

38:59

the day is

39:00

coming and soon.

39:21

Black

39:23

tea. Nothing fancy.

39:26

Fancier

39:26

than plain water.

39:28

Thank you So

39:32

this

39:32

is a bit

39:33

awkward, probably more

39:37

than a bit. I always

39:38

wanted a sibling, but I expected I would

39:41

be

39:41

the older one. I don't want you to

39:43

think any less of

39:44

your

39:46

dad. He never knew I existed most likely. He would have wanted to meet you

39:48

if he knew. He was that kind of guy.

39:50

I'm not mad

39:53

about it. My mom is kind of a

39:55

free spirit and they were both young

39:57

when well, I I don't think

39:59

either

39:59

of us want to talk about our parents

40:02

having sex Nope. I

40:04

can live without that.

40:06

Same. But

40:09

some things

40:11

have come up in my

40:13

life that have made me question my future

40:15

and my past. You're

40:16

a bit young for a mid life

40:18

crisis? No.

40:21

I'm Definitely not

40:23

midlife. I guess I

40:25

want to let you know

40:26

why now, not a few

40:28

months or years

40:32

ago. I know you're not trying to cash

40:33

in or anything that

40:36

left more death than

40:38

inheritance. Do you need

40:40

any

40:40

help? It's

40:42

probably not my place to ask. Oh, I'll be

40:45

fine.

40:45

Thanks. If you knew

40:47

my dad was dead, and

40:49

you probably weren't looking for

40:52

me. Why

40:52

did you come here? Just

40:55

to say goodbye. I

40:58

never really

40:58

thought too hard about what the side of my family

41:00

would look like. I thought

41:02

the

41:02

family I had was enough, but

41:05

Things have changed. Made me

41:08

question who I am.

41:10

Why? I am

41:11

the way I

41:14

am. Personally, I

41:14

attribute character growth more to nurture

41:17

than nature, but if I can answer

41:19

any of the questions you do have.

41:21

I'm happy to help.

41:23

Okay. Were you

41:26

or your dad

41:30

the front different. That's kind of

41:32

vague and a bit ominous. Not

41:35

like like serial killers

41:37

or superpowers or anything.

41:40

i'm or unless

41:43

I

41:43

have an idetic memory. I

41:45

can

41:46

remember dates the weather, what

41:48

I ate and wore my feelings as clearly

41:50

as if I were still experiencing the

41:53

moment they happened. Did you or your dad

41:55

have anything like that? No, but that

41:57

would have been a great

41:58

trick when I was trying to

41:59

memorize the

42:02

cribs cycle for finals, and dad was lucky if

42:03

he could remember to pay the bills

42:05

on time. Okay.

42:08

i'm

42:09

What

42:10

about allergies? Maybe he was sensitive

42:12

to metals. Like iron?

42:14

Not that I

42:15

know of. He

42:18

was always tinkering with things at the car shop or in the garage,

42:20

so probably not metals. Maybe

42:22

anyone else

42:23

on his side. ance

42:25

and uncles grandparents?

42:28

Sorry.

42:28

Dad was an only child,

42:30

and Paul and Nann passed

42:32

away about ten years ago. And they

42:34

weren't special either? They were to

42:37

me. Of course, I

42:38

didn't mean

42:40

fuck. That was rude. I'm

42:42

so sorry. I know what you meant, and the truth

42:45

is they were ordinary.

42:46

Same as my dad,

42:48

of my dad our dad,

42:50

that but

42:52

they were kind caring.

42:54

They took care of

42:55

me growing up, made sure I

42:57

studied hard and didn't

42:59

get into trouble. They were good

43:00

people. And with everything going

43:02

on in the world recently, I

43:04

think being a

43:05

good person is pretty danks special?

43:08

I am

43:08

sorry that I didn't get to know them.

43:10

Any of

43:11

them? I believe will

43:13

all be together again

43:16

one day. and

43:16

they'll welcome you as part of the family if you'd like to

43:18

be.

43:18

It's a nice thought. it's a

43:20

nice thought But

43:22

God willing, that day is

43:25

still a long time away. Until then, I'd

43:27

love to have the chance to get

43:29

to know you more. That

43:31

would

43:31

be nice. But I'm actually

43:33

just here for a visit. Then come back

43:35

for Christmas. I know it was

43:37

only a couple months ago, but we do

43:39

have one every year. The town

43:41

is a lot prettier covered in snow, and I make a mean

43:43

German stolen. Yeah.

43:45

Christmas.

43:46

prisoner I'll be

43:49

there

43:50

there. It's hard to

43:52

tell

43:53

the family you just met that

43:55

your days are numbered. that

43:57

you won't live to see the next holiday

43:59

season. It's

44:01

even harder

44:02

to say that if you and your friends

44:04

fail, No one may

44:06

live to see it.
