The Deadly Cost of Escaping The Jinn · Crime Night

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The wind in the Yemeni desert. It doesn't just blow,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it scours, Yeah, it really does. At twilight, the landscape
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: turns into this monochromatic expanse of gray and deep blue,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and the silence is heavy. It's physical.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: It's the kind of silence where you can actually hear
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: your own blood rushing in your ears.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Right. It forces you to look inward, which is exactly
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: why dead Mohammed Varhan was out there.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Daywood was a man who sought solitude. He was comfortable
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: in the emptiness, or a well lease. He thought he was.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Exactly on this particular evening, the isolation was about to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: be broken by something that completely defies biological explanation.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: He's walking along a ridge miles from the nearest village.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And he sees a silhouette. It's a black goat tied
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to a lone, gnarled tree.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Now, in a nomadic region, a stray animal isn't impossible,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: but it is highly unusual to find one tied up
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and just abandoned so far from a water source.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It's an anomaly, and human curiosity is a dangerous thing.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Daywood assumes a farmer has lost it, or maybe he
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: left a ten brearily, so he waits.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: The sun dips lower, the shadows stretch out, and no
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: one comes.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Finally, he decides to intervene. He picks up a stick,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: intending to either untie it or shoot away if it
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: gets aggressive. He steps closer.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The goat turns its head.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It looks him dead in the eye, and then it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: opens his mouth.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And this is where the story pivots from a desert
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: travelog to straight up horror.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: The goat speaks, and I don't mean It made a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: sound that vaguely resembled a word. It spoke with the clear,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: articulate voice of a young woman.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It said, I am not a goot.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It revealed itself as a member of a gin clan.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And here's the reaction that tells us everything we need
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to know about our protagonist. Dawad didn't run, He didn't
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: collapse in terror.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He listened.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Because Dowood hadn't just stumbled onto this entity. He had
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: been groomed for this meeting since he was in the cradle.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: We really need to back up and look at that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: grooming because it's not your typical predator narrative. Usually we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: think of external threats, but for Dawood, the threat was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: his own hair.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Today's deep dive is an autopsy of a spiritual criminal.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We are profiling a man who became one of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: most notorious sorcerers in his region. But he didn't start
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: with a choice.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: No, he started as a project.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: His father was a sorcerer, His grandfather was a sorcerer.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: This was the family trade passed down like a genetic defect.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The sources mentioned his father casting spells on him when
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: he was just a toddler. That seems so incredibly counterintuitive
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to me. A parent's biological imperative is to protect their offspring.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Why would a father deliberately weaken his own child's spiritual
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: defenses to create a vessel.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: The father viewed Daywood not as a son, but as
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: an heir to the darkness.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: He casts specific talismans to invite possession, to make the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: boy's spirit porous. He wanted the jin to take notice,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and they did. When Daywood started having seizures and night
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: terrors as a child, screaming and convulsing without any medical cause,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: his father wasn't concerned. He was proud.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That is a chilling reframing of parental pride. To him.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The seizures were a metric of success.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Precisely, it meant the connection was establishing itself. His mother
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: tried to fight it. She desperately wanted him to have
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a normal life, but she was up against generations of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: occult momentum right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And by the time day would hit his teenage years,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the fear had been replaced by seduction.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He stopped running from the shadows and started seeking them out.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: He'd go into the desert and these entities would appear
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to him as beautiful women.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's the classic honey trap.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's deep psychological conditioning. If you break a child with
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: fear and then offer them comfort in the very source
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of that fear, you create a dependency that is almost
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: impossible to break.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So when that goat speaks to him in the desert,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he's ready. He accepts the invitation. He does, but the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: immediate aftermath wasn't power, it was total degradation. This is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: part of the timeline that really confuses me. He accepts
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the deal effectively, and then he goes home and completely
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: loses his mind.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It was a psychotic break induced by full possession. He
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: returns to his village, but the dowwood they knew is gone.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: He's semi conscious, violent, unpredictable. His family, specifically his mother
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: has to chain him up with heavy irons inside the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: house just to keep him from hurting himself for others.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And when they did let him out, usually at night,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: he wasn't acting human. The descriptions are grotesque.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He's scavenging, eating raw meat, filth, garbage right off the ground.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: There's a detail here about him fighting stray dogs for carrion.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It's repulsive, but we have to look at the why
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: behind it. To an outsider, this just looks like insanity,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but within the internal logic of this dark world, it's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a strict ritual. How So, inversion is the key to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: black magic. To gain power from lower level entities, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: must debase yourself. You have to violate the natural order
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: by acting like a feral animal. By consuming filth. Daywood
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: believed he was unlocking spiritual gifts, so he.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Viewed eating garbage not as rock bottom, but as a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: rite of passage.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Correct. He thought he was paying his dues. But here
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is the problem for the entities. A feral man fighting
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: dogs is completely useless for business. You can't build an
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: empire if you're covered in filth. So once his spirit
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: was sufficiently broken, the cleaning up phase began.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: This is the transition that turns him from a victim
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: into a predator. He travels to another province, meets a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: shake and elder sorcerer, and gets what essentially amounts to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a graduate degree in deception.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: The faral phase broke him down, but the mentorship phase
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: built him into a weapon. The Sheik validated his experiences
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and gave him the tools to actually monetize them.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about those tools, because this is where the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: magic really meets the con He wasn't just improvising in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a back room. He was using a proven system. He
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was the sources mentioned a prohibited book called Shams al
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Maharif or the Son of Knowledge.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: That book is infamous in the region. It's not just
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a textbook in these circles. It's treated like a radioactive manual.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Contains grids and numerology and the specific names of jinkings.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It turns the chaotic act of summoning into a dark
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: pseudoscience exactly.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Dowwood wasn't just mumbling random words. He was following a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: very old, very dangerous algorithm.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But he also understood human psychology better than most modern marketers.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: The detail about the ode oil really stood out to me.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: He had a rare stone ring and a rosary and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he was explicitly instructed to doubt them in the most
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: expensive ood oil available.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's pure neuroscience at work.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the old factory bulb. The part of your
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: brain that processes smell is directly connected to the amigoala
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and hippocampus, which handle emotion and memory.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And in his culture, the smell of high quality ode
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: is deeply associated with piety, with mosques, with the.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Divine walks in smells that heavy, expensive scent, and their
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: brain subconsciously signals this is a holy place. I am
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: safe here.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It completely bypasses their critical thinking. It masks the reality
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: that he's actually performing dark rituals right in front of them.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It's a sensory illusion designed to lower their defenses before
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: he even speaks a single.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Word, and once those defenses are down, he hits them
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: with the intel. This is the part that makes skeptics pause.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: A client sits down and Dowood instantly knows their name,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: their mother's name, and the secret sin they committed ten
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: years ago. How is he doing that? Is this just
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: cold reading.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It's not cold reading at all. A cold reader guesses probabilities.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: They say something like I sense you're having money trouble,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: which applies to almost everyone. Right, Dowwood was highly specific.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He used what we might call supernatural insider trading.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: How does that work technically within this belief.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: System in Islamic theology? And this is the exact mechanic
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Dawood exploited. Every human has a Korean.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: A Korean.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Think of the Korean as a constant, spiritual companion, a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: double from the unseen world that stays with you from
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: birth to death. It knows everything you know, it sees
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: everything you do.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's basically a black box recorder for your entire life.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Exactly so, when a victim walked in to Dowood's room,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Dowood didn't magically read their mind. His servant entities simply
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: interrogated the victim's Korean. Wow, the Korean gave up the data.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: It would say, this is Ahmed. He stole gold from
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: his sister in nineteen ninety eight. Dawood's servant whispers it
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to him, and Dowood says it out loud.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: That is terrifyingly efficient. The client hears their deepest, darkest
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: secret and assumes it's a miracle from.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: God, when in reality it's the ultimate privacy breach. But
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it works. The client submits totally. Dawould had them hook
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: line and sinker, and.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: This is the trap of ambition. It wasn't enough for him.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It never is.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Five years into his practice, he felt his current entities
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: were two weak. He wanted more money, more prestige, so
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: he demands it upgrade.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And he gets a visitor during one of his isolation periods,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a figure in white.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: An old man dressed in white but radiating absolute terror.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He offers Dwwood an army of powerful servants.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But the price of admission into this upper echelon is
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: what they call the ultimate.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Taboo, the forty day ritual. Yeah, the conditions for this
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: are well, they are nauseating, but they're also very specific.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He had to remain in a state of janibah for
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: forty days.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Jenoba being major ritual impurity. Yes.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: In Islam, physical and spiritual cleanliness is the absolute prerequisite
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: for connecting with the divine. By deliberately staying filthy, refusing
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to bathe, refusing water, dio Wood was effectively building a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: firewall against God.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He was turning his body into a vessel that only
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: dark things would want to inhabit.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: And it culminates in the desecration of the Quran.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: This part is so grim. He had to tear the pages,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: tape them to the soles of his feet, and walk
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: into the bathroom.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He had to physically soil the holy text. This isn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: just disrespect. It's a formal declaration of war.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Why do they require something so extreme.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Because they need you to burn the bridge back to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: righteousness so thoroughly that you feel you can never ever return.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: They want you totally isolated in your guilt.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The dark irony is while he's doing this, literally walking
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: around with scripture taped to his feet, he's still performing
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: as a pious healer. He's going to the mosque. He's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: pretending to pray alongside everyone else.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He's mocking the prayer while standing right there in the line.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And in his healing sessions, he'd mumbles softly. The clients
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: thought he was reciting holy verses.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But he wasn't.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: No, in reality, he was chanting the names of demons.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He was binding his clients to these entities through blood sacrifice.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Right telling them to slaughter a black rooster or a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: goat for healing.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: When it was actually an offering to the jim.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So the client thinks they're getting a cure, but they're
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: actually participating in shirk polytheism. He's dragging them down with
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: him into the dark.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: It's a pyramid scheme of spiritual destruction. And for a while,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Dawood felt like a king. He had the money, the fear, the.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Reputation, but the human soul isn't designed to withstand that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: kind of treasure forever. The cracks eventually started to show.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: They showed up in his sleep.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the warning shots. He's exhausted one day
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and he falls asleep at a client's house during a session,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and he has a vision.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: It's a horrific simulation of his own death. He sees
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: his own corpse. He's hovering there, watching the washers prepare
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: his body.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: He's screaming, I'm alive, I'm right here.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: But the barrier between the living and the dead is sealed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: He feels the suffocating darkness of the grave closing in.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: On him, and then a massive hand grabs him.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: A giant hand smashes his spirit back into his body,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and a voice demands that he pray to God. He
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: wakes up screaming, in actual physical pain.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But his handlers they're excellent gaslighters, they are.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: They tell him, Oh, you just annoyed us because you
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: fall asleep on the job. Stop complaining and get back
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to work.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And he buys it for a moment. Yeah. But the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: second dream, the second dream, he couldn't explain away.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: In this one, he's walking toward a deep pit and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: at the bottom is his father, the men who started
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it all, the man who was so proud of the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: childhood possession.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And his father isn't ruling a dark kingdom down.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: There, No, his father is an unimaginable torment. He looks
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: up at Daywood with total desperation and says, stop. This
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: path leads only to ruin and regret. I wish I
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: could return to life, just to repent.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: That's the circuit breaker for Daywood. The architect of his
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: misery is admitting from beyond the grave that the blueprint
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: was a lie.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Daywood wakes up with total clarity and he makes a
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: decision right then and there. He decides to get out.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And this is where the story diverges from a fairy tale.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: In stories, when the hero repents, the sun comes out
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and music swells.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: But in Daywood's reality, when he repented, the war began.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: He starts to pray sincerely for the first time, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the backlash from the unseen world is immediate.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: First, the power vanishes, the intel stops, the entities strip
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: him of the vitality they were lending him. He becomes
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: physically weak, unable to even walk. He's bedridden, but he persists.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: He keeps crying, so.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: The entities escalate. They deliver a direct threat, return to us,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: or we destroy what you.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Love, and day Would, broken and weak, still refuses.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: The cost of that refusal is really hard to even
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: It began with his children.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: They were just at home and in a single sitting
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: seemingly out of nowhere, their bodies began to swell up.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a slow progression of an illness, so.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It was a rapid, impossible physiological reaction. Dawood is watching
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: this completely.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Helpless because he knows exactly what's causing it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: He knows it's not a virus, it's an assassination. Two
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: of his children.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Die just like that, and he still doesn't break No he.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Holds his ground. Then his wife falls ill. She contracts
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: this strange, incurable sickness that just wastes her away, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: she dies too. Dawood is left in the wreckage of
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: his entire life. His house is empty, his body is broken.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: He is completely alone.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I think most people would have surrendered after the first
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: child got sick. They would have done anything to make
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: it stop. Why did he keep going?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: That is the raw nature of true repentance. Dawood realized
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a terrifying truth. The death of his family, as infinitely
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: tragic as it is, is temporary, but the death of
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the soul is eternal.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He viewed this immense loss as the invoics finally coming
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: due for decades of crimes against the spirit.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: He accepted the consequences. He decided that saving his soul
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: was worth losing his.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Entire world, and he dedicated the rest of his life
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to exposing the trade craft. That's why we know about
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the Owood oil, the Koreem, the fake Koran reading.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: He broke the occult code of silence to warn others,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to tell them that the holy healer they're visiting might
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: actually be a predator in disguise.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: It's such a heavy story. It really forces you to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: look at the idea of shortcuts differently. Dowwood wanted power,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: he wanted knowledge, and he got it, but the interest
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: rate on that loan was everything he ever loved.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: It completely deconstructs the glamorous image of the mystic. We
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: see sorcery in movies as this cool edgy power, but
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Dahwood's reality was eating garbage, desecrating his own faith, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: burying his children. It wasn't power at all. It was slavery.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: He was never the master, He was just the.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Host, a disposable vessel, and once he stopped being useful
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: to them, they tried to discard him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So, as we wrap up this deep dive, what is
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the core takeaway here? Beyond the obvious don't summon demons
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: in the desert, which I think we can all agree on.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: The real lesson is about the unseen cost of ambition
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: when it's divorced for morality, whether it's spiritual shortcuts or
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: ethical shortcuts in business or life. When you try to
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: violently bypass the natural order to get what you want,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you are opening a door.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And Dawod's life is a brutal testament to the fact
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that you don't always know what's standing on the other
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: side of that door, waiting to come in.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Dawod Mohammed Varhan walked out of that darkness, but he
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: certainly didn't walk out whole. He left the door Ajar,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: just enough for us to see the absolute horror inside.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: And hopefully that glimpse is enough to keep the rest
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of us on the safe path. A final provocative thought
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to leave you with when you seek a shortcut to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: power or hidden knowledge. Do you really know who or
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: what is answering the call? A terrifying question, A reminder
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: that if you steer into the abyss, sometimes the abyss
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: stares back, and sometimes it's peace. Until next time, keep
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: your eyes open.
