• 0:05
  How will I know Katsumi if she is here?
• 0:08
  I think you'll know her when you see her, and these folks will
• 0:11
  pay her heed. This is fresh fire, very fresh.
• 1:03
  He's still around here somewhere.
• 1:08
  This is taking too long. So we go down to the basement,
• 1:12
  tear his goddamn throat out. He stays in one piece.
• 1:15
  Released until Katsumi gets here.
• 1:17
  We can't go. Pissing her off we need.
• 1:20
  Our. Protection.
• 1:21
  What's that? Worth now the camel gone, the
• 1:23
  deal's off. A deal.
• 1:25
  Interesting go down there right now do it while he staked, while
• 1:32
  he staked. They're hunger.
• 3:01
  How was that stop that? I smell something fresh
• 3:57
  concrete. Blood.
• 4:00
  A lot of it. Close I.
• 4:04
  Wonder if being bit means you don't get cold?
• 4:07
  No more, more than nothing.
• 4:24
  Can't wait till Annex get to Seattle.
• 4:38
  Anox rule. I need a drink, Are
• 5:08
  you ready to? Fix them in Jeez, piece of shit.
• 5:29
  Fuck you up so bad. Let's stop.
• 6:26
  He's in total poor. Want to hold that?
• 6:42
  Figures they've replaced me with some schmuck that walks to heal.
• 6:50
  Let me guess, the new baby Prince wants my head?
• 6:55
  She wants you returned to face her judgement.
• 6:59
  Yeah, and what do you think, sweetheart?
• 7:07
  I think you were sloppy enough to get caught by your prey.
• 7:15
  Everyone wants you to give a rat's ass about their system,
• 7:19
  their problems, your own fucking soul.
• 7:22
  I didn't become a monster to play by made-up rules.
• 7:26
  So you chose the Camarilla, the side of order and bureaucracy?
• 7:30
  I chose the side, let me slap down the pathetic bums I'm told
• 7:34
  I ought to care about, but I ain't no blue blood's pen.
• 7:38
  I sure as hell ain't wearing a muzzle.
• 7:41
  Leave that to toady's like you. That concrete won't hold much
• 7:53
  longer, and I doubt he's going to cooperate.
• 8:01
  You own a ring bearing this symbol.
• 8:03
  What does it mean? Well shit, I should have made
• 8:08
  the connection, but if you ain't figured it out already,
• 8:12
  sweetheart, I don't know what to tell you.
• 8:15
  I am compromised. I want to know why and by whom
• 8:19
  not. A Roman of licks.
• 8:21
  No more promises. Promises.
• 8:24
  I make my own goddamn promises. Hurry this alone fire.
• 8:37
  There is one you care about. I spoke to the boy at your
• 8:41
  apartment. The ones you hope Max.
• 8:48
  He spoke to you kids a liability.
• 8:52
  Weak will fucking embarrass me. I don't need his bullshit
• 8:56
  anymore. What kind of bruja makes himself
• 8:59
  a daddy? Betty, all I need is 1 excuse
• 9:04
  George Will. Need more than that.
• 10:23
  Just. Last chance, Benny, go.
• 12:01
  The hell. Not the most cooperative, is he,
• 12:05
  Katsumi? So what'll it be?
• 12:08
  You and I have a civil conversation.
• 12:10
  Find a solution to this mess. Or.
• 12:14
  Or you go the way of Mr. Muldoon here.
• 12:21
  Careful. I am not your enemy.
• 12:29
  Corpses upstairs might have something to say about that.
• 12:32
  They attacked first. Seems like they had reason.
• 12:36
  But we can't spin on this all night, so let's get to it.
• 12:39
  You leave that beast with us, walk away, and we're good.
• 12:42
  Deal. Why do you want him?
• 12:49
  Why do I want him? Same reason you do.
• 12:52
  The fucking psycho's gone on a slaying spree against my folk.
• 12:58
  That's our blood on Muldoon's hands.
• 13:00
  He deserves our justice. Listen, you're new here, just
• 13:04
  starting out in the city. You do this for us, and I'll
• 13:07
  count it a favor. And who exactly is US?
• 13:11
  You go buy labels and boxes. The court calls us Anox.
• 13:16
  I don't speak for all, but I speak for enough.
• 13:18
  We can open doors for you. We'll be a goddamn roadblock.
• 13:22
  Which do you want? What happens if I take Benny
• 13:29
  with me? You mean what happens if you
• 13:31
  try? Go ahead.
• 13:34
  See for yourself. Let's just settle this.
• 13:38
  What's it going to be then? Think carefully, Hun.
• 13:43
  Benny comes with me. So that's how it's going to be,
• 13:46
  huh? Can't say I'm surprised.
• 13:49
  All right, go on, then. Take it.
• 13:57
  I give my best to our new Prince.
• 13:59
  I'll beat the hole in the wall when you were the court are
• 14:01
  ready to talk. Bad face.
• 14:12
  Haven't heard a sniffle or a squeak.
• 14:14
  That's a problem, Sophia, see if you can reach out.
• 14:18
  He responds to you. Fire bearing gifts.
• 14:22
  I see. My apologies for the rough
• 14:29
  handling. I would have done worse.
• 14:32
  Worth your command. You're certainly enthusiastic.
• 14:35
  In exchange for a job well done, Ioffer you just that, a job as
• 14:41
  the new Sheriff of Seattle Sheriff.
• 14:45
  As part of the package, you get your permission to stay and
• 14:50
  access to my court and resources.
• 14:52
  What's more, you can head your own investigation into this mark
• 14:57
  business. During your downtime, client
• 14:59
  representatives will make themselves available to you, as
• 15:03
  will Sophia, should you require any research.
• 15:06
  Oh, yes, of course I could. What do you say to that,
• 15:12
  Sheriff? I agree to these terms.
• 15:19
  I will be your sheriff. Prince Ron.
• 15:21
  Pleasure doing business. Now, as first order of business,
• 15:26
  I want to report Katsumi. I assume you met her.
• 15:31
  What was your assessment? The Anarchs respect her.
• 15:37
  That counts for something. So she still has strong support.
• 15:41
  That could be problematic. Appreciate your candor.
• 15:46
  Clearly I made the right decision.
• 15:48
  Anything else? Yes, I believe it was Benny who
• 15:55
  destroyed Campbell. And he had proof of that.
• 16:03
  He said he was no blue bloods pet.
• 16:07
  We have assumed his rebellion began after Campbell's death.
• 16:11
  I suspect that it began with it. Well, if so, we have our culprit
• 16:19
  already in hand. It's an interesting thought.
• 16:22
  Anything else? Only my departure.
• 16:25
  I'll be here with you then. I'll be taking your predecessor.
• 16:29
  Looks like you've had a real good pasting veniel pal.
• 16:35
  I look forward to our discussion, Mr. Moldun, and rest
• 16:39
  assured, fire, if he reveals anything about your mark, you'll
• 16:44
  be the first to know. We'll be in touch.
• 16:46
  One thing, before you go toots in your travels, check in on
• 16:50
  Lou. I told her we'd help out on
• 16:52
  security and guess what? That's your headache.
• 16:55
  Now go have a blast. Oh, and meet me at Wake the Dead
• 17:01
  when you have the chance. I can't wait to pick your brain.
• 17:04
  In the best way, of course. That went well, though I do
• 17:17
  wonder how Katsumi will react. This will make our
• 17:31
  investigations easier. But there's a phrase.
• 17:34
  Poison chalice. Good luck, sheriff.
• 17:37
  Oh, and As for your Benny theory, maybe he did take out
• 17:41
  Campbell one bad day at the office.
• 17:44
  But he is connected to the mark on your hand.
• 17:47
  There's got to be more to it. Jesus, it's cold tonight.
• 19:28
  She's the same person. Oh, I was, huh?
• 20:08
  Get away from me. Help.
• 21:04
  Well, no, not many unknowns come strolling in here so boldly,
• 21:08
  especially amongst the heartbeat challenged.
• 21:11
  Don't worry, they won't give you any trouble.
• 21:14
  Not in here, not without my say so.
• 21:18
  Name's Silky. This is my place.
• 21:21
  These are my people. Rihanna sent the word round that
• 21:24
  some of us should offer help to our new sheriff, help you find
• 21:28
  your way back to some of the power you used to have.
• 21:32
  I'm an old hand of a few things. Reckon I can give you what you
• 21:35
  need, you just have to ask. I am not as potent as I once
• 21:41
  was. Lend me your aid.
• 21:44
  It's a big ask. We can try, but no promises.
• 22:08
  Perhaps we will speak again soon.
• 23:22
  Fuck. I need more of the life.
• 24:04
  Hello, jam it. That's new.
• 24:34
  The way I see we share a condition.
• 24:39
  I'm Nicole. It's always a pleasure to meet a
• 24:42
  visitor. This is my shop.
• 24:44
  It is where the mortals come to make debts they cannot repay.
• 24:48
  Sometimes I feed on them, but mostly I enjoy the charming Mick
• 24:52
  Macks. The Prince has ordered us to
• 24:55
  help you reawaken some of your old powers.
• 24:58
  I do not respond well to orders, but she asked nicely, so I
• 25:02
  consider it more of a favor. I will help you if I can.
• 25:07
  Can you help me recover my knowledge of the Banu Hakim?
• 25:11
  Such things are difficult, but we can try.
• 25:24
  I am told that if you drink the blood of Bano Hakim, it will
• 25:27
  awaken the memory of some of the powers you gain from my kind.
• 25:31
  I will give you my blood in the cup, drink and be restored.
• 25:40
  I see a light in your eyes. It worked, Yes.
• 25:45
  Later, perhaps? Hey, new kid, take a look.
• 26:11
  Drink it in. This is my magnum opus.
• 26:16
  At least it will be. It's kind of a work in progress.
• 26:20
  I think the color balance is off.
• 26:21
  Maybe it needs another femur names patience.
• 26:24
  By the way, don't make a joke. I already heard it.
• 26:27
  So the in crowd at the court. So we've got to help you wake up
• 26:31
  some of your old strength. But I hear we share blood and
• 26:35
  you got years on me. Ain't nothing I can teach you.
• 26:38
  Still, you can come shoot the shit.
• 26:41
  If you're not a distraction, I will be around.
• 27:05
  Keep it quick, I need to add some fingernails before the glue
• 27:08
  dries. How do the toriador fare in
• 27:13
  Seattle? I don't know.
• 27:15
  Same as anywhere else probably. Maybe if I added more yellow to
• 27:19
  the foreground. What is this piece you are
• 27:22
  making? I use almost entirely found
• 27:25
  objects, items from the shop, stuff I find outside, old
• 27:30
  crockery, lost coins, roadkill, the usual.
• 27:35
  You get what it's about, right? Never mind the meaning.
• 27:44
  Your control of form is exquisite.
• 27:47
  The way all matter is made, the material, yes, you, me, everyone
• 27:54
  and everything. It's all made to be used and
• 27:57
  reused. Once you see the world in the
• 27:59
  right way, it's all so obviously beautiful.
• 28:04
  You interest me and you want to trace the contours of my face
• 28:09
  kind of way or in you get chills when you contemplate the depth
• 28:13
  of my vision kind of way. Both.
• 28:16
  Oh, you mean you want a bone? Maybe I don't.
• 28:21
  I don't know though. I I need to do some
• 28:23
  visualization. Tell me more about this place.
• 28:27
  Is it your studio? Perhaps your haven?
• 28:32
  Yeah, maybe it needs more viscera, but dried or wet?
• 28:38
  Oh, hey, since you're here for this piece I'm making, I found
• 28:42
  this cool looking cross thing. There's something about it.
• 28:46
  A resonance, you know. You find any more?
• 28:49
  I could really use them. Flush this thing out.
• 28:51
  I'll need a bunch. I would be pleased to help if I
• 28:56
  can. Hey, that would be so great.
• 29:00
  I guess 9 or 10 should do it. Really make old boneheads sing.
• 29:07
  I look forward to talking again. Patients looking for metal
• 29:15
  crosses, Now that is a coincidence.
• 29:25
  I've been thinking all night about ways to use this
• 29:27
  wristwatch I got from the shop. You wanted me to collect crosses
• 29:31
  for your artwork. Oh, shit.
• 29:34
  Yeah, Famia said I could really use them.
• 29:37
  I have not forgotten, but it will take me time.
• 29:40
  I don't think I can call this finished without them.
• 29:43
  You know the the cherry on the top, The thorns on the Rose.
• 29:52
  I wish you the best. Are you looking for anything in
• 30:12
  particular? You have an impressive
• 30:16
  collection of items. Are they all brought in by
• 30:19
  mortals? Some yes.
• 30:21
  Some are souvenirs I collect myself.
• 30:24
  See that vase over there for example?
• 30:27
  It belonged to a man who promised to visit his sick
• 30:29
  mother and did not, so I ripped out his spleen.
• 30:34
  Some people really do not know how to behave.
• 30:41
  Do you know a kindred named Fabian?
• 30:44
  Oh interesting, but of course I haven't seen him around in a
• 30:49
  while but he's a good guy. He once asked me to help find
• 30:53
  the lost possessions of a chimiche he was desperately
• 30:56
  attempting to war. Perhaps we've heard enough.
• 31:03
  Tell me about your relationship with the Camarilla.
• 31:06
  Well, I report to no one, but I sometimes help them as I can.
• 31:11
  I source items the Prince needs, keep my ears open for what's
• 31:15
  happening in the city, and sometimes.
• 31:18
  I help bring A reckoning to those that deserve it.
• 31:23
  So you are the Camarilla's hired assassin?
• 31:27
  No, they do not dictate what I do and I take no payment.
• 31:32
  They simply let me know when the wrong means.
• 31:34
  Writing I had a thought. It is often the case that I find
• 31:41
  stories of people who have transgressed.
• 31:43
  I bring them to justice when I can.
• 31:45
  But this is an unjust city and there is only so much time.
• 31:49
  Perhaps you share these views? You could aid me if you choose.
• 31:55
  You interest me? Many people find me interesting.
• 32:01
  As a consequence, I judge people swiftly, but I'm really
• 32:05
  mistaken. Is there someone who needs my
• 32:11
  attention? I do have something This
• 32:14
  wristwatch comes from Jonathan. Jonathan killed his brother over
• 32:19
  a matter of money. He still takes money with
• 32:21
  violence. His Cologne is cheap.
• 32:24
  You should find him easily. I have the scent, I will see you
• 32:31
  later. I need to feed.
• 33:05
  Maybe stop in and wake the dead. I'll bet Sophia is there, buried
• 33:08
  by a pile of books. She's supposed to help you here.
• 33:37
  I don't. Hand over your wallet quick.
• 33:57
  Come on. And that's Nikos target dealt
• 34:09
  with. We should let him know.
• 35:22
  Hey Bossy, it is colder than a polar bear school out there.
• 35:26
  Jonathan has no more need for money then good.
• 35:32
  Is there someone who needs my attention?
• 35:35
  I need to consult my list of names, perhaps later.
• 35:39
  I will come back. Next time I'll work up the
• 36:26
  courage. I reckon our science gal will be
• 36:30
  pleased to see you. Shall we introduce ourselves?
• 36:35
  You may call me Missus Thorne. I already know who you are.
• 36:39
  A word of advice. There is a protocol to things
• 36:42
  around here, my dear. One must conduct oneself with
• 36:46
  proper decorum if one doesn't want to get fucked over.
• 36:50
  Weaver Tower have informed us that we must help you awaken
• 36:53
  your old powers. It's a worthy principle and an
• 36:57
  interesting experiment, no doubt.
• 37:00
  Consider me an interested party. I'm certainly willing to make
• 37:04
  the attempt. Will you attempt to awaken my
• 37:09
  Tremier powers? Prince Viong has ordered it.
• 37:13
  I have my doubts about the process, but let us make the
• 37:16
  attempt. So in theory, the best way to
• 37:41
  awaken your faded powers is to consume Tremia blood.
• 37:45
  I brew just a little of mine into this tea you see before
• 37:49
  you. You should be able to keep it
• 37:51
  down, theoretically. Would you mind if I make notes?
• 38:00
  Well, I hope that jogged your memory a little.
• 38:04
  I am not yet fully restored. Shall we try again?
• 38:08
  I. Am, of course, at the Prince's
• 38:10
  service. There was no copious vomiting
• 38:19
  last time. Pity.
• 38:22
  I should have liked a sample. Well, bottoms up, I suppose.
• 38:31
  Excellent, we appear to have been successful.
• 38:38
  How long have you been in Seattle?
• 38:40
  Oh, a long time. I arrived here to extract
• 38:44
  certain disciplines from a mortal cult and we had a
• 38:48
  satisfactory exchange of ideas. It was the time of Theosophy and
• 38:52
  the New Thought. All utter clap trap, but it did
• 38:56
  sell a lot of books. I saw a market opportunity, my
• 39:00
  home country being out of bounds to me at that time.
• 39:03
  Some people do overreact to the smallest of transgressions.
• 39:10
  Tell me more about the Tremere of Seattle.
• 39:13
  You'll find us more organized than other clans, at least those
• 39:17
  of us that honour the old ways. Knowing one's place, observing
• 39:22
  the proper order of things, deference to superiors.
• 39:25
  That's the real secret to longevity.
• 39:28
  That and wielding enough blood sorcery to turn your enemies
• 39:31
  innards to outers, of course. So you are feared?
• 39:40
  I beg your pardon, my dear nomad?
• 39:44
  You don't understand this city at all, do you?
• 39:47
  Simply being feared is not enough.
• 39:50
  One must walk the delicate line between alliance and
• 39:53
  intimidation. Fear is a clumsy, irrational
• 39:57
  emotion. It can't be wielded the way that
• 40:00
  weary respect can. You interest me, do I deary?
• 40:09
  Well, a freshly dug up walking corpse is not what I consider
• 40:15
  totti. But don't take it personally.
• 40:21
  What is your role here? Well, I run a flea circus, which
• 40:26
  is really just a front for my secret human butchery service,
• 40:29
  and in my spare time I like to build tiny castles out of the
• 40:33
  teeth of my victims. Excuse me?
• 40:37
  I run this shop and answer stupid questions.
• 40:41
  Now Deary, since you're Criss crossing our street so
• 40:44
  regularly, might I persuade you to run a few errands for me?
• 40:49
  Nothing taxing a package here, parcel there.
• 40:53
  It's so hard to find. Good help.
• 40:59
  You have something for me to do. Something very simple.
• 41:03
  I have a small package here. If you deliver it to Miss
• 41:06
  Pierce, you'll find her on the ground floor of Weaver Tower.
• 41:10
  The sooner the better. I will see it done.
• 41:16
  I will return. I want you want watch, jewelry,
• 41:43
  whatever now. This is for you.
• 45:43
  What? Oh, let's hope the old woman can
• 45:48
  do what she promised. Walk here.
• 47:55
  You should. Have never left LA.
• 48:21
  Back again, are we? My Prince has instructed me to
• 48:24
  help you recover your old skills.
• 48:27
  I am, of course, at your disposal.
• 48:30
  Since I have you, I wanted to raise an environmental issue.
• 48:35
  I assume, like me, you've been outraged by the scrolls left on
• 48:39
  our civic architecture by the Anarchs.
• 48:42
  Since you're now part of Ryong's clean up crew, I'd like them
• 48:46
  removed. The garish graffitos?
• 48:49
  Erased. Deleted.
• 48:51
  If you happen to do the same to their artists, then it's only
• 48:55
  what they deserve. I would be happy to.
• 49:01
  Symbols have power. Well, well, you're sharp, aren't
• 49:06
  you? The Anarchs believe they're
• 49:08
  staking a claim, and the more the scum believe it, the harder
• 49:12
  it is to scrape them off. I need your knowledge of the
• 49:22
  Ventru bloodline. Well, we cannot let the new
• 49:26
  Prince down, can we? You interest me?
• 49:39
  I do. Why, I would be in raptures of
• 49:42
  delight if I had a thing for stuffy old bone sacks.
• 49:47
  Perhaps we will speak again soon.
• 50:27
  Here's the glacier. I wonder if the old bird's
• 50:29
  watching from her penthouse window.
• 51:06
  Now, remember, if Lou's lips are moving, she's lying.
• 51:09
  But you've handled her well enough before.
• 51:11
  Got permission to roam. Let's see what she's after.
• 51:20
  You got to be the sheriff. I'm Onda Lou's new security.
• 51:24
  Let's get a couple things straight.
• 51:26
  You may be my elder, but I report to Lou and to the Prince,
• 51:30
  not to you. I got one job and that's to
• 51:33
  protect her by any means necessary.
• 51:39
  Ryong wants us to help you kick start your old powers, so if you
• 51:43
  need a little jolt of the Night clan you can come to me.
• 51:47
  I won't like it, but I'll do it. I am told you can help me regain
• 51:53
  my forgotten powers. The things I do for the
• 51:56
  Camarilla. What brings you to Seattle?
• 52:06
  This Camarilla world class, the old guard and the new.
• 52:10
  I have a talent for sniffing out opportunities.
• 52:13
  Always have. You mean opportunities to prove
• 52:22
  your loyalty to the Camarilla? Of course.
• 52:25
  I know what they say about me and my clan.
• 52:28
  I need to prove I'm not a traitor.
• 52:30
  Besides, if I can get on those good side, well then there's a
• 52:35
  whole city at my fingertips. When did your clan become
• 52:41
  welcome in the Camarilla cities? Before I slept, most La Sombra
• 52:46
  were firmly Sabat. They didn't sell sliced bread
• 52:50
  before you slept. It happened a few years back.
• 52:53
  The situation changed and so did we.
• 52:56
  Well, some of us. Some are stubborn fools.
• 53:00
  Don't get it wrong Nomad, we earned our place here.
• 53:03
  Earned it hard. Will you kill me of your mortal
• 53:09
  life? Nothing to hide I guess.
• 53:13
  I was magnificent when I was young.
• 53:15
  A real machine, swimming, a bit of track.
• 53:19
  Kickboxing was my favorite, especially outside the ring.
• 53:23
  One time I took out this huge guy like 3 times my size because
• 53:27
  he'd been talking shit. Question mark kick right to the
• 53:31
  back of the neck, dude hits the ground, Bam.
• 53:35
  Three weeks in ICU, never walked again.
• 53:39
  Since you're on the clock, Sheriff, I have business for
• 53:42
  you. A city is like a cook pot.
• 53:44
  This one's simmering. I've had word passed down on
• 53:47
  some of the troublemakers getting close to where we don't
• 53:49
  want them. I'm going to deal with my share,
• 53:53
  but you could help me out. I find you interesting.
• 54:00
  Really. I find you out of your depth.
• 54:04
  Strange to see an elder with just a hint of lost puppy.
• 54:09
  Maybe you need someone to bring you to heal.
• 54:12
  Is there trouble I can deal with?
• 54:15
  Looks like it. Izzy's an older ghoul among the
• 54:18
  anarchs. Got big ideas.
• 54:20
  She set up a den on top of the Goddard building.
• 54:23
  Can you deal with her? I will deal with it.
• 54:27
  I will speak to you again. Jesus hates Christ on his cross.
• 55:34
  We've. Got.
• 55:45
  To go down. Stand here.
• 56:45
  I. That dealt with Honda's
• 57:29
  troublemaker. Nice work.
• 57:48
  Yeah, we better go see her ex, Majesty.
• 58:56
  There you are. I wish to thank you.
• 59:03
  Your name meant a great deal to the court.
• 59:05
  They said I could do you a service.
• 59:08
  Did I ask for you? I don't.
• 59:11
  Oh, yes, the gang. Do you know of the arrangement
• 59:16
  that the court supply me with suitable meals?
• 59:20
  They sent me a Gangrel lout to act as my Gopher to replace To
• 59:27
  replace the singing of reptiles in the pulse of the blood, the
• 59:37
  call of the sun as the dry seeds burn, the red that runs through
• 59:44
  unfertile soil, the wind that flays sinew from a heartstring.
• 59:54
  Can you hear it, Nomad? Here.
• 1:00:01
  What I Oh. We were talking of the Gangrel.
• 1:00:11
  The Gangrel. So yes, the arrangement.
• 1:00:15
  As I said, the court has sent me a new helper, a Gangrel calling
• 1:00:20
  herself Nix. This is one of that little
• 1:00:23
  homunculus, as James, I'm sure of it, a Gangrel to fetch my
• 1:00:28
  food. And this is a problem.
• 1:00:31
  Her attempts have been little better than Rd.
• 1:00:33
  Kill. She needs to be educated, be a
• 1:00:37
  dear and have a chat with her. Would you set her on the right
• 1:00:41
  path? I understand that Ventru tastes
• 1:00:47
  vary. What is your preference these
• 1:00:52
  days? I am particularly partial to the
• 1:00:55
  mourners, those who are not too enervated either in lust or
• 1:00:59
  anger. I find Melancholia calms my
• 1:01:03
  dreams. It goes without saying that they
• 1:01:06
  should be for money like fine wine, the older the bloodline
• 1:01:11
  the better, but flavor aside, they must look the part.
• 1:01:16
  How would I explain some piercing ridden, tattoo covered
• 1:01:20
  strumpet to the front desk? This is the Glacier Hotel, I
• 1:01:26
  have a reputation to uphold. Where will I find the Gangrel?
• 1:01:32
  If she's at her post, you'll find her in the foyer.
• 1:01:35
  If not, follow the smell of wet dog.
• 1:01:39
  Now run along, dear. I'll see you again before you
• 1:01:43
  know it. I didn't scent the Gangrel down
• 1:01:53
  in the foyer, but let's take a look.
• 1:02:23
  What can I do for you, Sheriff? Have a good night.
• 1:02:27
  Hey. Are you looking for me?
• 1:02:37
  Well, if it isn't the sheriff, the nomad, right?
• 1:02:41
  You've got a big reputation, but damn if you aren't a little
• 1:02:45
  thing. So a gang girl working in the
• 1:02:52
  heart of a city? It is rare to see a free spirit
• 1:02:56
  walking within a prince's shadow.
• 1:02:58
  There's a reason you seek the approval of the court.
• 1:03:02
  Calm down, Sherlock. There's no mystery to solve
• 1:03:06
  here. I'm just a girl trying to find
• 1:03:08
  her place in a new home. They tell me you have a problem.
• 1:03:13
  It's simple. Or it should be.
• 1:03:17
  I'm supposed to catch mortals and bring it back to Luke,
• 1:03:19
  right? Fresh blood delivered to your
• 1:03:22
  door. But Lou won't eat anything.
• 1:03:25
  I bring back picky bread. I can only stomach the money and
• 1:03:31
  the mournful. What the fuck does that even
• 1:03:36
  mean? They all taste the same to me,
• 1:03:39
  like chicken Nuggets on legs. I mean, what am I supposed to
• 1:03:44
  do? Stick them on a spoon and say
• 1:03:47
  here comes the airplane. We should deal with the task at
• 1:03:55
  hand. What do you need?
• 1:03:58
  I'll take anything. I just need you to find me some
• 1:04:02
  blood donors. Lou will turn her damn nose up
• 1:04:05
  at grab me something with their scent.
• 1:04:08
  I don't know, a glove, a wallet, I use, tissue, anything.
• 1:04:14
  Then I'll do The Dirty work. Find suitable mortals and bring
• 1:04:38
  back something with their scent on the suitable part.
• 1:04:42
  Now that's the kicker. The.
• 1:04:45
  You. Remind me of my boss and I
• 1:04:47
  fucking hate my boss. You are the sort of play thing I
• 1:04:54
  enjoy. You know what?
• 1:04:57
  You're not as full of shit as I thought.
• 1:05:06
  To me let. Me snow in Seattle, fish die.
• 1:06:34
  Huh. Fuck free runners see
• 1:08:38
  something new every day. Can I feed the cat?
• 1:09:54
  I hope mom doesn't ruin. What are you doing round here?
• 1:10:36
  Looking for a beating too fucking cold to be nice?
• 1:10:43
  Fuck off. Want to get into business
• 1:11:10
  together? Sexy business.
• 1:11:15
  How precious and human you are. Magnificent.
• 1:11:21
  That's one sweet mouth you got there.
• 1:11:24
  Let me kiss it. I need this been a stressful
• 1:11:34
  quarter. What I'd do for?
• 1:12:52
  Ben Hey looking for ride up on hot stuff.
• 1:13:00
  My my. All the pretty things we could
• 1:13:04
  do to one another. Let's fucking go.
• 1:13:11
  I hope you like it, Rob. I can't wait to give you the
• 1:13:26
  time when you. Change.
• 1:14:25
  Well, well, well, Jesus, it's cold tonight.
• 1:14:53
  Some change, anyone? You fall off the top of a
• 1:15:02
  Christmas tree, Angel. Your humanity shines.
• 1:15:14
  What a wonder it is. Keep talking like that and this
• 1:15:18
  might be more than a hookup. Damn, I wouldn't mind taking
• 1:16:04
  that ass for a spin. I can see you.
• 1:16:10
  I hear your heart pulse within you.
• 1:16:13
  Whoa. Sensitive and hot, it must be my
• 1:16:18
  lucky night. Next time, I'll work up the
• 1:16:24
  courage to tell. Her.
• 1:16:25
  Let's take this somewhere more private.
• 1:16:30
  Damn, I wouldn't mind taking that ass for a spin.
• 1:16:35
  How precious and human you are. Magnificent.
• 1:16:42
  Damn, there's something special, aren't you?
• 1:16:45
  I hope you like it rough. Lead the way.
• 1:16:52
  Gorgeous. Ah, damn sweet.
• 1:16:56
  Sexy on a stick. You look hot.
• 1:16:58
  Want to hold my what? I hope you like it rough.
• 1:17:03
  Your secrets, what you hide from the world, the way gorgeous you
• 1:17:07
  are. Wonderful.
• 1:17:08
  No one's ever talked to me like that.
• 1:17:11
  I don't need anywhere. Tonight's going to me.
• 1:17:13
  Ellie will do. I could look at that ass all
• 1:17:18
  day. Look, I'm having a bad night.
• 1:17:24
  Mind calling my assistant to schedule an actual?
• 1:17:26
  Meeting any? Ally, I am quite pleased that
• 1:17:30
  our paths have crossed. Let's take You are unique.
• 1:17:35
  Sorry, I can't help. I need to.
• 1:17:38
  I'm expected at home any minute. Damn I.
• 1:17:41
  Love your sluts, thank you. That's the first course.
• 1:17:45
  Let's take this away. Getting some butterflies Looking
• 1:17:49
  at you. What?
• 1:17:49
  If I have a bit of snow. Your secrets.
• 1:17:52
  What do you hide from the world? You are wonderful.
• 1:17:57
  Damn. Let's find somewhere where you
• 1:17:58
  can say more. I hope you like it rough, just
• 1:18:09
  letting them know I'm not looking for anything serious.
• 1:18:18
  All day. The snow is tight.
• 1:18:23
  Let's go somewhere nice but. It.
• 1:18:29
  Still sucks. I am.
• 1:18:30
  Honey, you're even sexier than I am.
• 1:18:34
  You are radiant, a gorgeous soul inside and out.
• 1:18:38
  I feel connected to you right now.
• 1:18:40
  Let's go explore that. You Europeans know how to party,
• 1:18:45
  huh? Shall we?
• 1:18:53
  Is something wrong? Well, what do you want?
• 1:18:57
  I know someone who would love to meet you.
• 1:19:00
  I shall arrange an introduction. Look, I don't want any of
• 1:19:04
  whatever you're on. Thanks.
• 1:19:05
  Why? Don't we find some nice places
• 1:19:10
  together? Just one more should have us
• 1:19:12
  covered. Let's look around.
• 1:19:17
  Oh, damn. I love Europe.
• 1:19:29
  Sluts like you. I hope you like it, Rob Riding.
• 1:19:37
  I just want to get on there. Do you want to?
• 1:19:53
  Dumber. Please help me.
• 1:19:54
  I'll pay you a marital. Dumber.
• 1:21:30
  Aren't you a hot drink on a cold night?
• 1:21:33
  I can see the light inside of you.
• 1:21:36
  Such an old song. Keeps me talking.
• 1:21:39
  And I'll give you 2. Are you from Europe?
• 1:21:48
  I've always wanted to go. I don't carry any money with me.
• 1:21:55
  Perhaps I shall meet you again, or one of my associates will.
• 1:22:00
  Whatever, I just want to get some sleep before my morning
• 1:22:03
  stand up. That is our feast found, I
• 1:22:06
  reckon. I'd say the doing's done best
• 1:22:11
  hightail it back to Nick's. Let her catch the scents before
• 1:22:13
  they fade. Jesus Christ,
• 1:23:03
  yo, you done yet? Her royal wine ass doesn't like
• 1:23:08
  to be kept waiting. Hey, so how'd it go?
• 1:23:18
  I have done what you could not. Here are the items.
• 1:23:22
  Hey, I get it. I'm lower than scum to you.
• 1:23:28
  Holy shit. So that's what she was talking
• 1:23:32
  about. OK, Can you smell that?
• 1:23:37
  Those things Lou was saying, moneyed and mournful.
• 1:23:41
  This. This is what it smells like.
• 1:23:45
  Oh, my God. Thank you.
• 1:23:47
  I I mean it. Starting off on the right foot
• 1:23:50
  round here means more to me than you know.
• 1:23:57
  You're desperate to stay here. Why?
• 1:24:01
  The girl can't want her around forever.
• 1:24:04
  Look, I'm not stupid, I know I'm the square peg in the round
• 1:24:09
  hole. I figure my best shot is make
• 1:24:12
  friends in high places, prove I'm useful because the useless
• 1:24:15
  fuck ups don't get to stick to stay in the city, stay in one
• 1:24:20
  piece. There is something here you are
• 1:24:23
  not telling me. Don't worry about me sweetie.
• 1:24:27
  There's nothing I can't handle. See ya.
• 1:24:38
  We should give Nick time. It's definitely worth checking
• 1:24:46
  in on Katsumi. She has eyes and ears all over
• 1:24:50
  figuratively. Obviously
• 1:25:10
  Katsumi's place. Worth checking in.
• 1:25:18
  You picked the wrong guy to mess with tonight.
• 1:25:28
  What did I do to you? Did you even fucking touch me?
• 1:25:32
  And you're ready? What's up?
• 1:25:59
  They've gotten over the whole Benny thing.
• 1:26:01
  Well, if it ain't the new sheriff and didn't expect this.
• 1:26:07
  Figured that once you got back to the Prince, that'd be the end
• 1:26:10
  of it. But as it happens, I might have
• 1:26:13
  something for you. You said we should talk, So what
• 1:26:20
  have you to say? You're a friendly type, aren't
• 1:26:24
  you? Let's cut through the bullshit.
• 1:26:27
  I could use your help, Campbell. I hated his ass, but we made it
• 1:26:31
  work. Him losing his head means some
• 1:26:33
  other fucks. It has time to riot.
• 1:26:36
  They'll be brought down. There's no escaping it.
• 1:26:38
  But I don't want mine burned in the fire.
• 1:26:41
  You understand how it works here, right?
• 1:26:43
  Seattle is special. Every city thinks itself
• 1:26:50
  special. They all end up the same from
• 1:26:53
  here to Atlanta. Thin blood to hunt it down.
• 1:26:56
  Staked. Burned to ash because their
• 1:26:58
  sires can't sheathe their teeth. The trash of the streets.
• 1:27:03
  It's not a fucking choice. It's a state of being in
• 1:27:06
  Seattle. We had a troops, a haven.
• 1:27:10
  Or I thought we had. It's fraying fucking thin.
• 1:27:13
  I need you to shut down some masquerade Breakers before it
• 1:27:16
  becomes a bonfire. Sheriff.
• 1:27:20
  Tell me who and where. Straight to it, huh?
• 1:27:24
  Look, I was a surgeon way back. To save the patient, you got to
• 1:27:29
  make a cup. Sometimes it's on me to spot the
• 1:27:32
  dead meat. And sometimes, yeah, I'd give
• 1:27:34
  that word to the sheriff. Same still applies.
• 1:27:38
  You ready to step up? Be my scalpel.
• 1:27:43
  I am no one's implement but an ally.
• 1:27:47
  Someone to consult from time to time, perhaps.
• 1:27:50
  Haven't had one of those in a while.
• 1:27:52
  I'll think about it. I will do this for you.
• 1:28:00
  This will help my problems and make you look good with your new
• 1:28:03
  boss. See what talking can do for us.
• 1:28:07
  You'll find what you're looking for somewhere near Saint Stevens
• 1:28:09
  Church. Just keep your eyes open.
• 1:28:17
  Saint Stephens, then, never thought Katsumi would turn the
• 1:28:20
  gun on her own funk, but here we are.
• 1:28:43
  We're. Going to close, keep an eye out
• 1:29:02
  for Katsu, these troublemakers, maybe listen in, see if we can
• 1:29:06
  find out what they're up to. Hey, is Richie still in the?
• 1:29:19
  Park shit me, come here.
• 1:29:42
  What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 1:30:23
  I heard they mentioned more activity at the park, one place
• 1:30:26
  that could be a few blocks over next to River Town, opposite
• 1:30:30
  side of the Atrium nightclub. They don't even try I.
• 1:31:55
  Let's do I don't. We better go to the auto repair
• 1:32:15
  and check out Max Hopefully that was a sack of lights and we'll
• 1:32:18
  find him hunkered down where he was before.
• 1:34:02
  What you're going to take on the whole precinct?
• 1:34:30
  Here we are then. Max sure knows how to get into
• 1:34:33
  trouble. Little.
• 1:34:38
  Pig, let me. In.
• 1:34:40
  Trouble. Light it.
• 1:35:10
  Up. Stand here.
• 1:36:26
  Hey look, we can. Work this out, I fire.
• 1:36:30
  Fuck, I thought you were one of those anarchs.
• 1:36:33
  Be a TS, they are dealt with well.
• 1:36:38
  Thanks, there were more of them. I guess they got bored.
• 1:36:43
  Reckon they want payment for what Benny did.
• 1:36:46
  I can't blame them. My child, my fuck up.
• 1:36:50
  Now the thin bloods are out for revenge.
• 1:36:53
  I seem to have dealt with the troublemakers.
• 1:36:55
  For now, I will leave you. Wait, please.
• 1:36:58
  I'm look, I I don't know what to do this.
• 1:37:03
  It will keep happening. I can't just hide.
• 1:37:10
  Then you must make amends. Your child terrorized thin
• 1:37:14
  bloods, so offer your assistance to Katsumi.
• 1:37:17
  She is well respected. You're right, I owe them, but
• 1:37:22
  maybe she deserves to have me destroyed.
• 1:37:25
  Maybe. Or maybe a true kindred will be
• 1:37:28
  useful to her 'cause you have strength, use it.
• 1:37:33
  Maybe you're right. We cannot linger.
• 1:37:36
  There has been enough noise here to draw mortals.
• 1:37:39
  Thanks, Fire, I'll see you around.
• 1:37:50
  We should get back to the hole in the wall, let Katsumi know
• 1:37:53
  the job is done. Should be enough to bury the
• 1:37:56
  hatchet at least. As for Maxwell, kids got to
• 1:38:00
  learn it and realize he's not a kid.
• 1:38:38
  You found them, huh? You have fewer problems to worry
• 1:38:43
  about tonight. Well done.
• 1:38:46
  I told you. All I'm trying to do is keep my
• 1:38:49
  people safe. We have kept your people safe
• 1:38:53
  for now. You want to shoot the shed or we
• 1:38:55
  done here. I will let you get back to your
• 1:38:59
  night. Don't be a stranger Hun, I don't
• 1:39:03
  mind having Someone Like You around to keep me on my toes.
• 1:39:14
  She likes you. A good
• 1:39:33
  call. If anyone can figure out the
• 1:39:35
  puzzles written on your body, it's Sophia.
• 1:39:57
  I shouldn't have walked. Nomad Sheriff, you hear?
• 1:40:45
  I'm so after all the stories. I mean, it's a privilege.
• 1:40:51
  Truly. The privilege is mine.
• 1:40:55
  I'm just glad that at last you and I have some time alone.
• 1:41:00
  It is. I mean, you are.
• 1:41:04
  I'm flattered, of course, but what?
• 1:41:09
  There is one thing I hate to impose and on you of all
• 1:41:15
  kindred. But you may speak plainly.
• 1:41:21
  Thank you. During the attack, some of the
• 1:41:24
  Anarchs, they they took hostages.
• 1:41:28
  People dear to me, mortals. I'd given my blood.
• 1:41:34
  You want me to find your ghouls? Your retainers.
• 1:41:39
  You stood your ground with the anarks before you brought Benny
• 1:41:43
  back. I know this is another group
• 1:41:45
  that the anarks are in splinters, but I know you could
• 1:41:49
  do this. My assistants, they worked in
• 1:41:51
  Weaver Tower. If I have them back, it will be
• 1:41:55
  easier for me to help you do research.
• 1:41:59
  I mean, it's just that they'll deal with my usual work and I'll
• 1:42:03
  be able to focus. I will find your retainers, but
• 1:42:08
  this conversation is not over. That's a relief.
• 1:42:13
  You can't know how much. I'll begin my research at once.
• 1:42:17
  Just knowing you will search for them, knowing they're safe.
• 1:42:21
  Where should I look? There's an Anarch gang operating
• 1:42:25
  from a loading Bay near the parking garage.
• 1:42:27
  I think it's the same group. Then I will begin there.
• 1:42:39
  Small world. How soap?
• 1:42:42
  This parking garage you mentioned, it's not far from
• 1:42:44
  where we first met, so to speak. Sophia was really taken with
• 1:42:55
  those ghouls. Sounds like I knew she had
• 1:42:58
  people helping her. Campbell called them her pets.
• 1:43:02
  I can kind of see that. Remember, these aren't Katsumi's
• 1:43:20
  Anarchs. They want to fight Masquerade
• 1:43:23
  and they're careful. You take a peeve.
• 1:44:21
  None. Honestly, the Camarillo will
• 1:44:26
  barely notice I was gone. Please, I beg.
• 1:44:32
  You are free to go. Oh thank you, thank you.
• 1:44:38
  Please you must rescue the others.
• 1:44:40
  They they dragged them away with talk of some anti Camarillo
• 1:44:43
  plots in another city. They took them towards the
• 1:44:46
  subway station. And the camera will apply.
• 1:45:06
  Sounds like a lot. Close it down.
• 1:45:45
  This is inconvenient looks. To be another now they got it
• 1:45:52
  here in this. I.
• 1:46:42
  I really have no time for this. Sophia sent me.
• 1:47:43
  It is over. You can go home.
• 1:47:45
  She did. I knew she wouldn't forget us.
• 1:47:48
  Please accept her gratitude. You have found the others.
• 1:47:53
  We were separated. I shall continue looking.
• 1:47:57
  Thank you. They must be nearby.
• 1:47:59
  I'm sure we can come to some agreement.
• 1:48:11
  You're Sophia's people. Yes.
• 1:48:13
  You are safe now. Well, thank you ever so much for
• 1:48:17
  your assistance. Now, I do like a touch of
• 1:48:20
  courtesy. But please, my colleagues, they
• 1:48:23
  are safe. I cannot thank you enough.
• 1:48:26
  I must go. Miss Sophia will be frantic.
• 1:48:35
  So the Anarchs are shaking down Sophia's researchers for Intel
• 1:48:38
  and court. And taking them to New York.
• 1:48:43
  New York has a heavy premiere presence.
• 1:48:45
  The Chantry of the five boroughs figured they thought they'd make
• 1:48:48
  a quick buck. Recognized a lot.
• 1:48:50
  Sophia will let us know for certain as we head back to Make
• 1:48:53
  the Dead I. Hunger.
• 1:49:10
  Want to hold that? I need to
• 1:49:34
  find a. Different fucking machine.
• 1:49:56
  The snow is kind of pretty, but it's still soft.
• 1:50:13
  Sheriff, you're back. My part is done.
• 1:50:21
  Your retainers are free. Shall we talk?
• 1:50:25
  I'd like that. I would.
• 1:50:27
  But when I spoke with them I realized Piotr, he was not with
• 1:50:34
  them. Piotr, my most dear.
• 1:50:40
  He had been with me for so long, and he, I mean he was useful to
• 1:50:46
  me, Maria told me when they took him.
• 1:50:51
  He died in the street to Anarch enthusiasm.
• 1:50:56
  You couldn't have helped, but still you cared for him.
• 1:51:04
  That is unusual. I am sorry.
• 1:51:10
  I know that is not much comfort. I have never been good at loss.
• 1:51:17
  Will you stay with me? Talk to me, distract me.
• 1:51:23
  Perhaps Lou and Prince Ryong. Tell me more of them.
• 1:51:35
  I'm not sure. I mean, I've already.
• 1:51:40
  How do I say this? I think I think Ryong could make
• 1:51:46
  a good Prince. I mean, she is a good Prince and
• 1:51:50
  Lou is basically a hermit. But if I didn't know better, and
• 1:51:57
  if I have your confidence, I'd say that Ryong will be Prince in
• 1:52:02
  name alone. I wish it weren't the case, but
• 1:52:06
  here we are. The knight calls.
• 1:52:12
  But I will return. Until then, see what you can
• 1:52:16
  learn about this mark. I will.
• 1:52:31
  Of course, Sophia. It's always a shame when you
• 1:52:34
  lose an old hound, if you take my meaning.
• 1:52:36
  But she'll honor your agreement. If anything, she'll be hankering
• 1:52:39
  for distraction. Just give her time.
• 1:52:43
  You did all you could. Well, I reckon that's your
• 1:52:53
  sheriff duty scene too. And I can feel that old fireball
• 1:52:56
  lurking on the horizon. So in your own time, of course
• 1:53:06
  you look good and I look like crap.
• 1:53:08
  I get it. What do you want?
• 1:53:09
  I see you just as you are. I just just get out of here.
• 1:53:15
  Yeah. Get yourself somewhere safe.
• 1:53:29
  This is like a dream come true. We're meant to move.
• 1:53:50
  Let's make this a night to remember in a better spot.
• 1:54:20
  Why won't anyone help? Seattle PG.
• 1:54:22
  The fuck was that? Well, it's an education to watch
• 1:55:45
  you work. You have a knack for treating
• 1:55:47
  folks the way they want to be treated.
• 1:55:49
  Some might call that buttering up, but I call it prudence,
• 1:55:53
  Social lubrication. I mean what I say they are
• 1:56:03
  kindred to be respected here. Oh, I get it, I do.
• 1:56:06
  I think this town could use a sheriff who wristens before they
• 1:56:09
  punch. We've done our share of legwork
• 1:56:11
  tonight, that's certain. You want to work the notes both
• 1:56:14
  high and low. Sophia is interesting so
• 1:56:20
  attached to her ghoul it is not usual.
• 1:56:24
  Sophia's always been scatterbrained, used to hang
• 1:56:27
  around with my sire. Maybe my bloodline rubs off on
• 1:56:30
  some. I like her though, reminds me of
• 1:56:32
  more innocent times and we both love getting our fangs into a
• 1:56:36
  good puzzle. Growing so close to a mortal is
• 1:56:47
  a risk. Any mortal is a point of
• 1:56:49
  frailty. And I suppose that's so, though
• 1:56:53
  both pawns and Princess were mortal wants, even you.
• 1:56:56
  The Masquerade is not a game. There is no room for error.
• 1:57:05
  Time for slumber then. Let's see what the new night
• 1:57:07
  brings. Well, hello there, buddy.
• 1:57:32
  Did what you said. I woke up.
• 1:57:35
  They set their feet up on the sword.
• 1:57:40
  Their lips split and arched, their belly dry, sweet
• 1:57:49
  succulents upon the mind. A sovereign for specified.
• 1:57:57
  That's nice and all, but I have questions.
• 1:58:01
  Can you tell me your name? Do I take you from your time,
• 1:58:07
  Truth seeker? Do I interrupt?
• 1:58:12
  I'm more interested in who you are.
• 1:58:15
  They say trouble comes in pairs. Detective.
• 1:58:22
  That's the truth. They say trouble comes in in
• 1:58:28
  pairs. They say trouble comes in pairs.
• 1:58:42
  And here I was with the first shoe in front of me, waiting for
• 1:58:46
  the other to drop. And let me tell you, this one
• 1:58:49
  was tight laced and had a vicious tongue.
• 1:58:53
  A deep sleeper. A goddamn deep sleeper.
• 1:58:56
  It is 8:00 at night and I've been standing out here for an
• 1:58:59
  hour. Well, I'm sorry to interrupt
• 1:59:02
  your me time, Mr. Detective, but someone wants to kill me and no
• 1:59:07
  one seems to care. Oh, let me guess, you're a
• 1:59:18
  sleeper agent planted deep within a Far Eastern drugs
• 1:59:21
  cartel. But a shame and broke your
• 1:59:22
  illusion and now you're on the run.
• 1:59:24
  Or you double parked on Pike Street and a gang of antsy
• 1:59:27
  farmers threatened you with healthy, nutritious produce.
• 1:59:30
  What? What?
• 1:59:32
  No, nothing like that at. All just give me the facts,
• 1:59:36
  Miss. Verona, it's just I'm going
• 1:59:42
  through my purse and I find a goddamn death threat of this
• 1:59:46
  freaking looking sword thing. Now that is interesting.
• 1:59:51
  A death threat and a decoration. Might I see them Miss Verona?
• 1:59:56
  That's why they sent me to you. I showed the officer at the
• 1:59:59
  desk. He said you'd help.
• 2:00:02
  Look, I went out last night with the girls, went through my purse
• 2:00:06
  or my keys this morning and there they were, the letter, the
• 2:00:10
  cross thing. Weren't there last night.
• 2:00:12
  And be honest, this has got me shook up, Detective.
• 2:00:18
  Real shook up. Oh, then you just let old Fabian
• 2:00:22
  take a look. See see what shakes out.
• 2:00:49
  Now this was familiar. No, I had nothing to say.
• 2:01:00
  Hello there my little parchment pal.
• 2:01:04
  You got words to spill. I am a death threat detective.
• 2:01:07
  That is my sole purpose and all that you will get from me.
• 2:01:14
  Good quality paper. I see a few marks.
• 2:01:18
  The finest thick card stock ass benefits.
• 2:01:20
  My role as a harbinger of doom. A few marks, I'll grant you, but
• 2:01:24
  I was folded very carefully but then, alas, unceremoniously
• 2:01:29
  crammed into a purse filled with whatever junk the youngsters
• 2:01:33
  feel and need to carry. Not to mention the clear imprint
• 2:01:37
  I endured from the metal ornament that was my companion
• 2:01:40
  in travel. The Cross of Saint James.
• 2:01:44
  Pandora and cigarettes, sure, but he's still scratching at the
• 2:01:49
  armor of my think tank trying to get in my eye.
• 2:01:53
  Hazard, a guest. Detective.
• 2:01:54
  Was there not a case back when you were young?
• 2:01:57
  The gutter press called it the Rebar Killer now.
• 2:02:01
  So there was, but that was a long time ago.
• 2:02:04
  That case is cold as a corpse. Or I thought it was.
• 2:02:08
  Many thanks, loquacious letter. I'll talk to my boss, Benny, see
• 2:02:12
  if something is getting reheated.
• 2:02:14
  Of course, detective. Remember that one should always
• 2:02:17
  put one stock in the paperwork. Now that's a truth.
• 2:02:21
  The SPD do love to fill their filing cabinets.
• 2:02:25
  I should rattle a few drawers too, see if any old bones fall
• 2:02:28
  out. Nice choice of font and layout.
• 2:02:33
  A little fancy. Why yes, the seriousness of a
• 2:02:39
  matter is often best conveyed by a touch of formality.
• 2:02:43
  Just to make it clear, there'll be no messing around.
• 2:02:46
  And you see, I come from a quality printer.
• 2:02:49
  No smudging of ink or any little black lines, which is of course
• 2:02:54
  the minimum standard. In a well phrased ultimatum, of
• 2:02:59
  course. That's quite a perfume you have
• 2:03:04
  there. Tangy, bitter, late nights and
• 2:03:07
  morning regrets. Now, listen, I had to endure
• 2:03:11
  degradations to bear my message. You know, drag through smoke,
• 2:03:14
  filled, then spattered with more beer.
• 2:03:19
  Huh. So Miss Verona picked you up in
• 2:03:21
  a bar, then? How dare you?
• 2:03:24
  I. Well, yeah, I mean, yes, I
• 2:03:29
  suppose so. Well, thank you, mysterious
• 2:03:32
  missive. I got to blow the dust off the
• 2:03:35
  rebar killer case and grill our girl about her favorite
• 2:03:38
  Hangouts. Message received and understood
• 2:03:44
  The Rebar Killer. I'd heard that name many, many
• 2:03:48
  years before, if I remembered it right.
• 2:03:51
  In our world, he was Santiago, a hunter of Kindred.
• 2:03:56
  What did that have to do with Verona?
• 2:04:01
  The folks would have stashed Verona in interrogation.
• 2:04:05
  I figured I should visit, since I did have questions for her.
• 2:04:10
  How's it hanging, Harry? Oh good, Fabiu.
• 2:04:18
  Hey, come closer for a moment and food free, Fabiu.
• 2:04:32
  Well, thank you. You won't miss it.
• 2:04:37
  Keep it real, Neil. A night, night, Mr. Bride.
• 2:04:47
  I wondered if Verona had remembered anything else from
• 2:04:50
  her big night out Seattle. Any news, detective?
• 2:05:13
  You've caught him, right? The law takes its sweet time,
• 2:05:16
  Miss Verona, but it makes the dessert all the sweeter.
• 2:05:22
  From the letter I deduced you were in a bar last night, right?
• 2:05:26
  Well, I did say I was out with the girls.
• 2:05:29
  Being honest is kind of a blur, but if you're going to tell me I
• 2:05:32
  wrote the letter myself, I will not.
• 2:05:34
  Believe you. Oh I'm certain you couldn't do
• 2:05:36
  that even sober. Some of these words are multi
• 2:05:39
  syllabic. Well, exactly.
• 2:05:42
  But anyway, we had fun. We hit up a few places, the
• 2:05:46
  usual, you know. Oh God, I didn't text any of the
• 2:05:50
  girls, let him know I got home and I'm out of charge now.
• 2:05:54
  I know there's a killer, but I need to go.
• 2:05:59
  I need you here, Miss Verona. You never know when a killer
• 2:06:02
  might strike. And here you are, surrounded by
• 2:06:04
  professionals. Professional officers of the
• 2:06:07
  law, I mean. Not professional killers, though
• 2:06:09
  of course they are professionally trained to kill.
• 2:06:11
  And sometimes, yes, they do kill.
• 2:06:14
  Oh, never mind. Well, all right, at least you
• 2:06:18
  have WAFA. So I'm told.
• 2:06:21
  Plus this frees me to focus on locating your tormentor and
• 2:06:23
  putting him safely behind bars. Strong, unbendable iron bars
• 2:06:27
  which he is unlikely to be able to use in any kind of murder
• 2:06:30
  attempt. What?
• 2:06:32
  Never mind. Do you recall which dens of
• 2:06:36
  dissolution you visited? Bar chips, Pills.
• 2:06:39
  Outstanding taps. Why, Detective, do I look like a
• 2:06:42
  girl who has to pay for her own drinks?
• 2:06:47
  Let me think. There were a couple of dives,
• 2:06:51
  but we were trying to get into the fancy places too.
• 2:06:54
  I guess we started off the glacier for cocktails, but I
• 2:06:57
  think we're going to try and get into the McComb later.
• 2:07:00
  We heard it's real exclusive, like they don't even have list.
• 2:07:04
  The bouncer knows you by side. Until later, Miss Verona,
• 2:07:22
  Seattle PD. Well, look who crawled out of
• 2:07:44
  their pit. What happened to the alarm
• 2:07:46
  clock? Smithy got you.
• 2:07:48
  It was a might Overzealous. I traded it to a buddy for an
• 2:07:51
  Everly Brothers single and a 1978 World Almanac.
• 2:07:54
  Of course you did. You need something?
• 2:07:59
  Where do we keep the cold cases? I'm looking for something that's
• 2:08:02
  probably in the deep freeze. What's on your mind?
• 2:08:07
  You ever heard of the Rebar Killer?
• 2:08:09
  Huh. Yeah, right.
• 2:08:12
  My grand pappy talked about that one.
• 2:08:14
  He was on the force back in the day.
• 2:08:17
  Mob hits something like that. They'll still be in the foul
• 2:08:21
  room, though, just buried deep. Take a ball of string.
• 2:08:25
  You're liable to get lost in there.
• 2:08:27
  Oh, don't worry. Me and the records department
• 2:08:29
  have an understanding. Any hot precinct Gossip.
• 2:08:34
  Your boss is in a good mood. That is news.
• 2:08:38
  Any idea what's ringing Benny's bell?
• 2:08:41
  Who can say? Maybe a kitten died or an
• 2:08:44
  orphanage burned down. What's spinning, Wheeler?
• 2:08:50
  You need new material, buddy. Nothing much though.
• 2:08:53
  Fender benders, drunks and me catching up on my backlog.
• 2:08:57
  Season 3 of High School Detective.
• 2:08:59
  Yeah. Just got to where Tammy has a
• 2:09:01
  run in with the study buddies. Hell of a plot twist.
• 2:09:07
  I'm on the case. Catch you later.
• 2:09:10
  Take it easy Seattle. PDI had an agreement with Bob.
• 2:09:28
  He would ignore all my requests and I'd never ask him for
• 2:09:31
  anything. I'd do my own research.
• 2:09:35
  Well, if it isn't my favorite flat foot, I knew you'd crawl
• 2:09:39
  back to me. Hey Philomena, you got me.
• 2:09:42
  And I never can resist a well packed set of suspension files.
• 2:09:46
  So what is it today, detective? A little Downians with my
• 2:09:49
  dispatches, a thumb through my probation log looking to heat up
• 2:09:55
  an old cold one. Know anything about the rebar
• 2:09:58
  killer, my detective? I did not expect someone to
• 2:10:01
  rattle my drawer so thoroughly this early in the evening.
• 2:10:05
  Oh, you know, I always try to be gentle.
• 2:10:08
  What have you got? You'll have to forgive me.
• 2:10:10
  It's a little dusty around my fundament, but I do have a
• 2:10:14
  little something. Now that is interesting.
• 2:10:18
  Someone's been here before you. Oh, sure, there are news
• 2:10:22
  clippings, side notes, dockets and warrants all marked for your
• 2:10:26
  man, all in 1925. But the main case file that's
• 2:10:32
  been lifted. Frankly, I feel violated.
• 2:10:40
  Got anything new on the Ghost fairies?
• 2:10:43
  Now? We do have a letter here from 1
• 2:10:45
  Captain Salty alleging that the spectral boats are military.
• 2:10:50
  He says here there's an underwater base deep under Puget
• 2:10:53
  Sound. Enemy scientists are running
• 2:10:56
  aquatic time travel experiments. Apparently it's a prelude to the
• 2:11:00
  second Canadian invasion. He claims the first one already
• 2:11:04
  happened. I guess he got something right.
• 2:11:09
  Anything that screams being Illuminati.
• 2:11:12
  It's been quiet on that front. Too quiet.
• 2:11:15
  You do say they're always watching.
• 2:11:18
  Well, they are always wide awake and a bit jittery.
• 2:11:23
  Any word on DB Cooper? The usual.
• 2:11:26
  A fresh note from Mr. Sator, filed under unverified tips.
• 2:11:31
  This one says Cooper's true objective was not the money, but
• 2:11:35
  a small, insignificant briefcase stowed in the cargo hold.
• 2:11:40
  The briefcase contained technology vital to the
• 2:11:42
  timeline's integrity. At precisely 813 PMA portal
• 2:11:48
  opened, allowing Cooper to slip into the future.
• 2:11:52
  The light turbulence was merely a side effect.
• 2:11:56
  If only they knew. What have you got on the killer
• 2:12:00
  without the case file? A skeleton in my cupboard.
• 2:12:04
  The bones of a story and the flesh is missing.
• 2:12:08
  A series of mob hits in early 1925.
• 2:12:11
  Turf war, The funny papers call it a clear out of local persons
• 2:12:15
  of interest. Of interest to the police and to
• 2:12:18
  those who serve. Hooch by the gallant.
• 2:12:21
  Same MO every time. Coal construction, steel through
• 2:12:25
  the heart and a swift chop to the neck.
• 2:12:28
  A5 week sensation of slaughter and then it all dries up in a
• 2:12:31
  record heat wave and a crackdown on bootlegging.
• 2:12:35
  No one ever found their heads. I should get to it.
• 2:12:41
  Come back when you can. I always need a good sorting.
• 2:12:53
  I went down to the duck. Cold night.
• 2:13:16
  I decided to visit a few places. Verona might have stumbled out
• 2:13:19
  of snow. Makes it all
• 2:13:42
  fuel. Silky only had two vintages of
• 2:13:44
  wine behind the barn. The white one and the red.
• 2:13:55
  Mr. Guru, can I impose? Just a moment.
• 2:13:59
  Well, now, Fabian, my man, I can see the ghosts in your trail.
• 2:14:05
  Don't pay them no mind. Shall we commune, Guru?
• 2:14:10
  Share some wisdom. I'm always happy for a
• 2:14:14
  communion. Bliss is always old friend.
• 2:14:25
  Well, there's detecting to do. It's a long road to the sleep of
• 2:14:30
  the just. Wow, if it ain't my favorite
• 2:14:49
  gumbo, it's gumshoe, Captain, as I keep telling you.
• 2:14:55
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:14:56
  What is it? You found a crock of shit at the
• 2:14:58
  end of the rainbow. I thought maybe we could chew
• 2:15:03
  the fat, maybe catch up a bit. Could you read my case report or
• 2:15:07
  evidence? 20 pages on the goddamn Sonic
• 2:15:10
  grid. It's in the trash along with
• 2:15:13
  your bean Illuminati bullshit. I ain't got time for your crap.
• 2:15:17
  Do your job, the boss. This is important.
• 2:15:21
  Seattle's owl soundscape is a fusion of company.
• 2:15:24
  One more goddamn word and I'll step your lips shut.
• 2:15:29
  Wheeler said you were in a good mood.
• 2:15:32
  Did he? I guess he was wrong.
• 2:15:35
  Let's just say a horse came in. I was wondering, you ever hear
• 2:15:42
  of the Rebar Killer? A case from back in the 1920s,
• 2:15:46
  long before my time. Name's familiar.
• 2:15:50
  The news hounds called him the Rebar Killer because, well, he
• 2:15:54
  killed people using rebar. But for us, he was a hunter.
• 2:15:58
  Santiago. Oh, shit.
• 2:16:01
  Yeah, I've heard of Santiago. Took down a few of our big
• 2:16:05
  names. Right?
• 2:16:06
  What about them? Well, it's just a theory, but I
• 2:16:11
  think he's back. That case last week has all his
• 2:16:14
  signature moves, Rebar, a missing head, and a Sword of
• 2:16:19
  Saint James. So the puzzler of the precinct
• 2:16:23
  has another pet theory. Why should I listen this time?
• 2:16:31
  Because we didn't catch him last time around.
• 2:16:34
  He cut his way through the court.
• 2:16:36
  We lost too many Kindred. He's at risk.
• 2:16:39
  I get it, it's thin, but we wouldn't want the chief to think
• 2:16:43
  we were asleep with the wheel. So go tell him.
• 2:16:46
  I'll tell him I sent you. Tell Campbell.
• 2:16:49
  Yeah. This turns out to be something I
• 2:16:52
  look good. If it ends up as dog shit, I
• 2:16:55
  tell him you slipped A leash. Get it?
• 2:16:58
  I get it. I better go, Boss.
• 2:17:01
  Yeah, you'd better. What is it this time?
• 2:17:10
  I'm busy. Yeah, Boss.
• 2:17:12
  You look real busy. I'll see you later.
• 2:17:36
  Fabian. Your Bloodhound.
• 2:17:39
  What can I do for the pride of the PDI?
• 2:17:43
  Was hoping you were in a talkative mood.
• 2:17:45
  It's about a girl, isn't it? Always the youngster, young, the
• 2:17:50
  old grow old. And somehow it always comes down
• 2:17:54
  to the heart. She was here, so I'm told last
• 2:17:57
  night. Listen, my friend, you know the
• 2:17:59
  rules all sorts of people pass through.
• 2:18:01
  I don't ask their business. They don't ask mine.
• 2:18:05
  I mean, is this court orders or a masquerade breach laid out for
• 2:18:10
  me? I think there may be a hunter
• 2:18:14
  out there. This girl Kindred.
• 2:18:16
  No. But then I don't see the
• 2:18:17
  problem. There's Bend, a little oak tree.
• 2:18:20
  Is the girl here name of Verona Bear?
• 2:18:22
  Verona, huh? You sound rattled by this scene,
• 2:18:25
  buddy. I don't know the name.
• 2:18:27
  Why are you asking if this isn't court or a breach of the mask,
• 2:18:31
  the hobby, the bird you've taken under your wing?
• 2:18:34
  Because there won't be trouble here, St. or Sinner.
• 2:18:37
  Send her over if you wanted to have a safe night out.
• 2:18:40
  But know who did what, questions answered for you or for anyone.
• 2:18:46
  Not unless it's real kindred business.
• 2:18:48
  I know it, I respect it, but this matters.
• 2:18:51
  I'll find a way to prove it. Sure.
• 2:18:54
  I'll see you later, buddy. Verona remembered the beer was
• 2:19:07
  cheap at the Hole in the Wall and mortals.
• 2:20:10
  A few Union Johnnies having a cold 1 maybe.
• 2:20:15
  Please spare a moment for a few questions.
• 2:20:17
  SPD, right? Yeah, go ahead.
• 2:20:20
  Quieter tonight. Not like last night.
• 2:20:23
  That was a mess. Big party, huh?
• 2:20:29
  Anyone seem out of place? Where are you at all?
• 2:20:32
  There was this one guy hanging out by the pool table.
• 2:20:35
  He was kind of creeping on a group of girls, you know,
• 2:20:38
  watching but never getting too close.
• 2:20:40
  The boss said he tried to warn them off, but this guy was
• 2:20:43
  hopped up on something real intense.
• 2:20:45
  Scary. Boss called me for backup, but
• 2:20:49
  by that time the guy had gone. Thanks, it's useful.
• 2:21:03
  The piano was more out of tune than Herbert Hoover and probably
• 2:21:06
  his own. Someone had a good night.
• 2:21:11
  Unless they were playing hearts. Not the best.
• 2:21:14
  Congress never did get it. I did once win 100 bucks from A1
• 2:21:19
  armed bandit but he died soon after.
• 2:21:25
  I wouldn't want to have to clean this place.
• 2:21:45
  The hole in the wall needed a few dark corners.
• 2:21:48
  Younger Kendra did like spaces to brood.
• 2:21:53
  Get what you need. I have people to serve here.
• 2:22:01
  I want to check out the pool tape, you know?
• 2:22:05
  Yeah, sure, whatever. Good view of where Verona was
• 2:22:17
  sitting from here. So tell me, Pockets.
• 2:22:20
  You see anything last night? Could be any bar in any city.
• 2:22:25
  But you stroll right into mind Detective.
• 2:22:29
  There was a guy who spent some time around you.
• 2:22:31
  Kind of a creep. You remember anything?
• 2:22:34
  Now? How would I remember?
• 2:22:36
  Scores on the chalkboard are my only way of keeping a tally.
• 2:22:40
  Unless you're talking beer, sweat and tears, Detective, this
• 2:22:44
  rough green holds its share of history.
• 2:22:47
  As I'm sure you know, that's a fact.
• 2:22:52
  Talk to me of beers, sweat and tears pockets.
• 2:22:56
  Must you only focus on my flaws? It's hardly fair.
• 2:23:01
  Oh, they ain't flaws. It's the little wrinkles that
• 2:23:04
  make You Beautiful and the memories they halt.
• 2:23:07
  For example, last night. Well, I blessed to say, but my
• 2:23:12
  current perfume is that of Dale Spilled Beer.
• 2:23:16
  That and something else. Just a touch of dirt and fresh
• 2:23:21
  concrete. With fresh concrete.
• 2:23:28
  It's faint, but oh darn it, I reckon I've got something of my
• 2:23:33
  leg. Some varmint has smeared me with
• 2:23:36
  dirt, detective, soil, concrete and just a touch of of of steel
• 2:23:44
  and plastic and the heady aroma of Porta Potti.
• 2:23:48
  Our target came from a building site.
• 2:23:51
  Which one? Oh now wait, I'll lay odds it
• 2:23:55
  was the Western reconstruction site, not too far and inhabited
• 2:23:58
  by an arcs, ghouls and other lowlifes.
• 2:24:01
  Thanks pockets. Reckon I'll go digging.
• 2:24:04
  I'd say don't get into any fist fights detective, but honestly I
• 2:24:08
  don't think you have the balls. Verona said she'd been to the
• 2:24:16
  glacier, so I figured I'd best follow her trail.
• 2:24:26
  I headed down to the old western room.
• 2:25:00
  There was that same scent of concrete Pockets had talked
• 2:25:04
  about. The place reeked, and it reeked
• 2:25:16
  up. So our stalker had a picture of
• 2:25:25
  Verona. Maybe that'd get silky to open
• 2:25:28
  up. I didn't see the point in
• 2:25:30
  confusion. I figured I needed my strength
• 2:25:32
  for other things. I went down to the Dutch.
• 2:25:39
  I headed down to the old. I guess someone was using gas to
• 2:26:12
  keep the lights on. Yeah, I wasn't going to do that.
• 2:26:24
  I didn't see the need. I didn't think that would help.
• 2:27:31
  What's the word will sing it. Believe me buddy, I'm a little.
• 2:27:35
  I sip tangy. Stay sick.
• 2:27:45
  Bye. People like me are not supposed
• 2:28:34
  to fool around with gadgetry like you.
• 2:28:36
  But let's say we get to know each other a little just in the
• 2:28:41
  interest of detecting. Of course, I am rugged of
• 2:28:44
  manufacturer, but how about that Tough, tough life, Detective, be
• 2:28:47
  gentle with me. I see you're low on juice.
• 2:28:50
  I'll be careful. Any text messages?
• 2:28:57
  That's what they're called, right?
• 2:28:59
  Or is it SMS? Once you have fumble your ways
• 2:29:03
  through the menus There is one SMEs that has failed to send.
• 2:29:07
  It says pizza. Pizza.
• 2:29:09
  No, very definitely pizza. It is always possible that my
• 2:29:13
  owner is slightly less tech savvy than you.
• 2:29:16
  He does eat though, so that tells us he's unlikely to be
• 2:29:18
  kindred. Anyone left a voicemail?
• 2:29:25
  Since you asked, yes, there is one young lady offering a good
• 2:29:28
  time. What's sort of good time?
• 2:29:31
  I've always been partial to 3 minutes past 12.
• 2:29:33
  If midnight's been and gone, drama is just not going to
• 2:29:36
  happen. Leavings at the side,
• 2:29:38
  Detectives, there is one other message.
• 2:29:41
  I think you should listen to it. Go ahead, open.
• 2:29:44
  The package you won't see a photograph and a letter.
• 2:29:49
  Find the girl with the photograph.
• 2:29:51
  Make sure she receives the letter she must.
• 2:29:54
  Not see you. Do you understand me, David?
• 2:29:59
  She must not see you. Never leave this message.
• 2:30:06
  Guess David is a rebel detective.
• 2:30:10
  I feel you All right there, fella.
• 2:30:17
  Oh, hold me, Detective. I dead.
• 2:30:25
  Oh, well, nice work, little buddy.
• 2:30:28
  Maybe I should bury you somewhere.
• 2:30:35
  I went down to the Dutchman for a
• 2:31:03
  Is that the light of hope in your eyes, Detective?
• 2:31:12
  You got something for me, right? It's been a long night and I've
• 2:31:20
  worn down the shoe leather. My feet took me to the haven of
• 2:31:23
  a ghoul and said ghoul had a photograph of my Verona.
• 2:31:26
  He was charged with delivering a death threat to her by his
• 2:31:29
  master. Here, take a look.
• 2:31:31
  See a ghoul Now I wonder whose blood he was sipping.
• 2:31:37
  But you're right. This is our kind of trouble.
• 2:31:40
  The girl here I have seen she was in here last night, said
• 2:31:46
  drinks were on her, that she'd come into money.
• 2:31:50
  She decided to make a life change.
• 2:31:52
  Pawned something that was chaining her down.
• 2:31:54
  Pawned. Left the ticket stuff as a tip.
• 2:31:57
  Worthless to me, or maybe useful to you.
• 2:32:00
  Well now that is what we call in the trade, a lead.
• 2:32:04
  My thanks Socrates. The pawn ticket.
• 2:32:07
  I figured I should follow that lead to a pawn shop.
• 2:32:11
  Tracing Verona about it directly was less likely.
• 2:32:17
  I had a question to ask Nico about Verona to get results.
• 2:33:00
  Oh, it's freezing out. Here, Nico helped me find
• 2:33:09
  knickknacks for my office. Knickknacks with history.
• 2:33:12
  Frank Fabian, what brings you to my door?
• 2:33:16
  I've had nothing coming to your taste.
• 2:33:18
  Just rings of old marriages, necklaces of old mistresses.
• 2:33:22
  Junk. You know how it is.
• 2:33:24
  Discarded memories. I'm looking for a memory came in
• 2:33:31
  last night. Everyone here Trey's memories.
• 2:33:34
  For dollars, you know that. What was it or who?
• 2:33:42
  It netted her enough to have a night out.
• 2:33:44
  Paid her bar tab here. I have a ticket.
• 2:33:47
  You know this one, ah? Yes, that one.
• 2:33:50
  She was burdened on the way in and floated.
• 2:33:52
  Her way out here, ah. That's right, a Locket 1 moment.
• 2:34:02
  Progress. I don't know what prompted Miss
• 2:34:04
  Verona to sell, but this might give me answers.
• 2:34:08
  Miss Veroda? That was not the name she gave
• 2:34:12
  me. Ravenna.
• 2:34:13
  If I have it right now, what is she playing at?
• 2:34:19
  I hope in some way the item brings you joy, even if it's the
• 2:34:22
  joy of detection. Huh.
• 2:34:26
  Did she say why she pulled my Locket?
• 2:34:28
  You learn not to ask such things.
• 2:34:31
  There is usually sadness or anger down those roads and to be
• 2:34:34
  honest, I did not want to share in hers.
• 2:34:39
  Hope the Christmas trade picks up.
• 2:34:41
  Have a good night my friend. I wondered if a Rona.
• 2:35:07
  Cops think they own the place. Hey old buddy, taking a break.
• 2:35:52
  Thanks, I got things to do. Good luck.
• 2:36:18
  You found something, right? I'm looking into avenues, Miss
• 2:36:21
  Verona, avenues and alleyways. I found this lockout of yours at
• 2:36:25
  a pawn shop, sold to the broker under a false name.
• 2:36:29
  Oh, that's not mine. I'm trying to catch a killer
• 2:36:35
  here. Bear it in mind and throw me a
• 2:36:37
  bone. So do you think the threat is
• 2:36:40
  real? I have no doubt this killer is
• 2:36:46
  real and could strike at any moment.
• 2:36:48
  Granted it's a mite less likely here in PDHQ, though it is still
• 2:36:52
  a possibility. But hey, we won't charge your
• 2:36:55
  rent. If it's real, well I guess I
• 2:36:59
  need to tell you the Locket isn't mine.
• 2:37:03
  It belongs to my sister. My ex sister Ravenna.
• 2:37:08
  Check the photo inside. That's me and her.
• 2:37:11
  She used to be my 20, but she's dead to me.
• 2:37:16
  You got to understand that. She passed away.
• 2:37:19
  Oh no, we just don't get on she she's gone kind of weird.
• 2:37:24
  How's the Locket fit in? Does that mean she's in danger?
• 2:37:27
  Everything is connected, Miss. It's simply a matter of degree.
• 2:37:31
  Try asking Mr. Bacon sometime. If you don't know him, someone
• 2:37:34
  will. So where can I find this 20 this
• 2:37:38
  Ravenna? Heck, I don't know.
• 2:37:40
  We haven't talked in half a year.
• 2:37:42
  Last I heard she was working at Atrium.
• 2:37:44
  That's why I never go there. I see.
• 2:37:47
  Maybe your messenger didn't have a name for his intended
• 2:37:50
  recipient, only a photograph, and a poor one at that.
• 2:37:58
  This will get complicated. A visit to the atrium and it's
• 2:38:01
  mistress takes my comfort thoroughly out of its zone.
• 2:38:05
  I'm told she doesn't like the cut of my jib.
• 2:38:07
  Between you and me, I don't even own a jib.
• 2:38:10
  But As for your situation, I believe you've simply been the
• 2:38:13
  victim of a failure in postal delivery.
• 2:38:16
  Miss Verona, as so often happens, the case is solved.
• 2:38:20
  Your sister is the one in peril. Hopefully I can make it to the
• 2:38:24
  atrium before it's too late. As soon as I heard Verona's sis,
• 2:38:35
  Benny wanted the Prince to know what was up.
• 2:38:37
  So as soon as I heard Verona's sister.
• 2:39:56
  Really appreciate some help. There she is.
• 2:40:01
  I hope business is good, my dearest.
• 2:40:04
  Why if it isn't the most handsome of my clients?
• 2:40:09
  A moment of your generosity would sure cheer me up.
• 2:40:12
  I knew our fates were intertwined.
• 2:40:22
  No one quite like you, Miss Marigold.
• 2:40:25
  Keep safe, my dearest. Go do your duty, brave defender
• 2:40:29
  of the city. Hey, I need to get in here.
• 2:40:36
  Official business, private party, no exceptions.
• 2:40:41
  If you're not on the list, my hands are tied.
• 2:40:45
  I said official and I said no exceptions.
• 2:40:50
  Have blocking your ears or something.
• 2:40:57
  Would you be home to a fistful of extra dollars?
• 2:41:00
  I were. Lovely to see you again, Sir.
• 2:41:07
  Log session today. Same old, same old.
• 2:41:10
  These things are always a grind. So I hear, Sir, but it's
• 2:41:14
  important work. I'd like you to know that I
• 2:41:17
  appreciate it. And you can always rely on my
• 2:41:20
  support. Thank you, citizen.
• 2:41:24
  Always good to know the public are behind me.
• 2:41:26
  Might I go in? Of course.
• 2:41:29
  Enjoy your evening, Senator. Oh, I intend to.
