1:59
nature of and the implications
2:01
of linear time. Wobegon
2:03
follows Mike Walters, who
2:05
discovers a mysterious and violent online
2:08
game. What begins as an

and transcripts. Have fun, and see
2:34
you later. This
2:39
episode is dedicated to Thierry Deubel. Hello
2:42
Thierry. Apologies for the deception, but I wanted
2:44
to make sure you started reading, so I
2:46
thought it best not to announce myself. There
4:15
was a peppermint tea bag in the back of the cupboard. Thought
4:18
it might be better than coffee considering...well...
4:22
Thanks. Do
4:27
you want to talk about it? I...Christ,
4:32
I still shake when I think about it. It's
4:35
okay. Come here. Thanks.
4:47
Yeah, I'm...I'm
4:50
alright. Just
4:52
a lot, you know? I
4:54
haven't seen someone die since... Yeah.
5:00
I went back afterwards. Couldn't
5:02
just leave her. Take
5:04
Player was gone and she'd stopped speaking.
5:08
And when the paramedics turned up, they just called
5:10
it straight away. Said she'd
5:12
been dead for ages. But...
5:18
I heard her talking. About
5:21
drowning. Paramedics
5:24
just wanted to treat me for shock. They
5:27
kept telling me there was no way she could have
5:29
been walking with that much water in her lungs. What
5:33
do you think? I don't know. Maybe
5:36
that I'm finally losing it. I
5:39
believe you. No, you don't. I'm
5:42
serious. Don't get me wrong. I'm not
5:44
saying I know exactly what happened, but
5:46
I don't think you just saw a
5:48
body and freaked out. That's
5:50
not the Alice I know. Same. And
5:53
it's not like it's any weirder than half the stuff we read
5:55
here. Thanks, guys.
6:00
Maybe... I
6:03
know it's selfish, but I kind of hoped
6:05
I'd paid my horrid Jews working here, you
6:08
know? I think there's plenty of it
6:10
to go around at the moment. Well,
6:14
cheers for the pet talking, all, but we should
6:16
probably get on. The last thing
6:18
I need is Lena getting on my case on top
6:20
of everything else. You're sure
6:23
you're okay to work? Yeah,
6:25
I already wasted most of Sunday crying about
6:27
it. Anyway, odds are Freddy
6:30
will spit out a transcript to the whole thing.
6:33
Least I can do is make sure it's filed properly,
6:35
right? So that would be Z for
6:37
zombie, or... I'm
6:44
just going to... Yeah.

I've been getting along some
14:51
worry comments on my losses
14:53
so I wanted to obtain.
14:57
Could be quiet. Moments has asked
14:59
my side. Since
15:02
the last that things got
15:04
worse. besides getting thirty now
15:07
when someone set my dorm
15:09
fire. The cats are
15:11
a case that. Add cements back
15:13
him with moment that and now. Have
15:18
a nice little this something
15:21
on with my all. Than
15:24
option. At.
15:29
A smart. Money
15:32
says it's stressed, that the doctors say it's.
15:34
An infection from the tattoo, but. I
15:38
know it's more than that. I
15:50
just what it's be noticed. I
15:52
just. I
15:56
don't deserve and. Please.
16:03
You see, The
16:06
comments have a. And
16:09
down. And
16:12
turn. It. On
16:34
this. Are
16:37
you? I'm fine. My
16:42
I'm getting a coffee. We
16:48
should probably. Won't
17:34
now set. Look,
17:36
maybe you didn't notice that no one
17:38
is that their desks and the case.
17:41
Or tonight sit down. Ah,
17:48
Scuse me I
17:50
said ah, you
17:53
stupid. i
17:55
don't because that is the only
17:57
possible explanation i can find for
18:00
why you would think it was
18:02
appropriate to bring an external into
18:04
our offices. I just thought
18:06
it might be safer if they were in
18:08
a controlled environment. Safer.
18:12
You marched a dangerous asset
18:14
right through the office without
18:16
taking any precautions. For
18:19
goodness sake, you gave her a tour. You
18:21
introduced her to your colleagues. That
18:24
poses a completely unacceptable risk
18:26
to personnel. I was with
18:28
her almost the whole time.
18:30
Besides, Lady Mowbray is a
18:32
lady, an actual married into
18:34
the House of Lords lady.
18:37
It's not like I was holding doors open
18:39
for Mr. Bonzo or anything. You
18:42
have no idea how dangerous she is.
18:44
No, I don't, because you don't tell
18:46
me anything. And I will keep it
18:48
that way until you have proven to
18:50
me that you can be trusted to
18:52
think before you act. Or I die,
18:54
right? Because I can't help noticing
18:56
that you're happy to send me out alone
18:59
to meet all these dangerous externals that you
19:01
are too afraid to even let into the
19:03
building. Gwen,
19:06
if the OIAR is to
19:08
function, it is
19:11
imperative that the externals respect
19:13
us and the boundaries we
19:15
impose upon them. Otherwise... No
19:18
externals on site. Understood. Happy?
19:23
It's becoming clear to me that you
19:25
are struggling with your new position. And
19:28
so I think it might be best if you can... Give
19:30
me another assignment. Gwen,
19:32
you can't take this away just because I
19:34
did something you never bothered to tell me
19:36
not to. You're always going
19:38
on about how difficult it is to find
19:40
reliable staff. Then why don't
19:42
you try actually training me for once?
19:45
Would you even listen? There's
19:47
one way to find out. I
19:55
will... consider
19:57
it. You
19:59
may go. The Magnus

a mysterious and violent online game.
23:33
What begins as an exploration of an
