Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 | Full Game Walkthrough (Part 4) · No Commentary Gaming

• 0:02
  Found what you were looking for, Sheriff.
• 0:08
  No Mad now we're square, right? I don't mind telling you I've
• 0:13
  been sleeping better the few days you've been around.
• 0:20
  The more I know of this city, the better I can serve everyone
• 0:23
  in it, including your people. Never can sneak anything past
• 0:27
  you can I? It comes down to how much of a
• 0:30
  difference you can make. Nomad.
• 0:32
  I guess you've ripped a few a holes to shreds, which is a *.
• 0:37
  I shall take my leave before you do.
• 0:40
  Mind if we talk kindred to Kindred?
• 0:43
  No masks, no ulterior motives, just oh shit I need an insider's
• 0:49
  perspective. I will listen, but I may not
• 0:55
  have the answers you seek you. Move in circles.
• 0:58
  I can't, and I think something is going on with the court.
• 1:02
  You've seen more of them in a few days than I have in years.
• 1:05
  Maybe because you actually have a grip on why people act the way
• 1:08
  they do. But we're not OK, are we?
• 1:13
  The court's the only real law around here and it's on a knife
• 1:16
  edge. Should I prep my people for lose
• 1:18
  horrific return to power? Or can things work for us in
• 1:22
  Rihanna City? For an Anarch, you are too
• 1:30
  concerned with the Camarilla. This court will only care if you
• 1:33
  cause problems for them. Same old grind.
• 1:37
  Yeah, for what it's worth, thanks for the answer.
• 1:41
  I won't hold you up anymore. Don't be a stranger.
• 1:45
  I am always a stranger. Yeah, Nomad comes with a turf,
• 1:51
  right? See you later Fire.
• 1:56
  Better or worse, I think you're right.
• 1:58
  Aren't the courts concerned? Anarchs are no more of bother
• 2:01
  than mosquitoes under netting. Stay quiet and they're liable to
• 2:04
  forget you even exist. Make a noise, though.
• 2:08
  That's when you heard the swatting that Katsumi even
• 2:11
  asked. What is she cooking up to you
• 2:14
  under this? Well, that's everything that was
• 2:19
  on the docket. Should think about heading back
• 2:21
  to Dale. Sorry.
• 2:22
  Don't call the cops. Do not resist.
• 4:26
  Now, well, it's free. Seattle PD anyone there?
• 5:01
  Taking the shot all. Night.
• 5:39
  Well, well, well, that was a night.
• 5:43
  If you're in the mood, there's some reckoning we could do.
• 5:52
  Very well. So let's walk ourselves back a
• 5:56
  bite. We have the Anarchs and the
• 5:58
  Blood Doll, a shopping trip for Tolly and then Mistress Lou and
• 6:03
  her travelling prognostication show where she'll start.
• 6:11
  Sophia and her desire for hidden secrets.
• 6:15
  Sweet Sophia. Oh, she's scattered for sure,
• 6:18
  but she knows her stuff. She keeps promising but not
• 6:23
  delivering. Oh, ditherings in her nature,
• 6:25
  But give her a problem and she's a hound with a slipper.
• 6:28
  She'll keep chewing until she gets right to the soul of it.
• 6:32
  What next? Let us move on.
• 6:36
  Do you want to sleep or should we talk the big picture?
• 6:39
  That is enough, I just want to sleep.
• 6:42
  Just so I'll let you slumber, Nomad, though I'd not be
• 6:46
  surprised if I'm up and about and walking memory roads in a
• 6:49
  few. Maybe I'll see you there.
• 7:06
  Somewhere, sometime. I just like to sleep.
• 7:10
  Hey there, fella. I talked to our mutual friend.
• 7:13
  They said they'd love to have a chat.
• 7:15
  So what do you say? Give me an address of truth
• 7:21
  Seeker. You are so close.
• 7:22
  You can taste me. You can breathe me in sin and a
• 7:32
  descent We shall glory the wanderer and I wear my my full
• 7:41
  blossoms. My siblings sprouted.
• 7:47
  By address I meant location, not a lecture on gardening tips.
• 7:52
  The Wanderer is already furrowed, already plowed.
• 8:00
  Now turn the sod on slip. It.
• 8:03
  Beneath. The soil slip beneath it.
• 8:09
  OK, well, I guess I'll pass that on.
• 8:11
  But what is it you want? What's the deal here?
• 8:15
  What's the deal exactly? So what's the deal?
• 8:35
  So what's the deal, Smithy? Jonesy was first responder.
• 8:39
  Captain Muldoon told us he'd want to get involved.
• 8:43
  Any witnesses? Yup.
• 8:45
  Young guy, name of Max Weber. Max Weber, huh?
• 8:50
  Well, well, well. I knew that name.
• 8:53
  And suddenly I knew why Benny had taken a closer look at this
• 8:56
  one. He's over by the auto shop.
• 9:01
  Did Officer Jones see anything? Ask.
• 9:04
  Her. She's just come off the walk and
• 9:06
  talk. She's still on site.
• 9:08
  She might have something for you.
• 9:12
  I still had to find out more. I liked Smithy.
• 9:17
  The body's gone. Took four guys to get him off
• 9:20
  the rebar. Heavy fella.
• 9:22
  Real musty lot of bulk. Captain Muldoon was on site.
• 9:26
  He took a look at him, told me to pass on to you.
• 9:29
  The Victoria is nothing special. Uh huh.
• 9:32
  So a man on the street kind of thing.
• 9:35
  Literally. Oh sure, Rebarred.
• 9:38
  Into the concrete. That's a heck of a night's work.
• 9:43
  Thanks, Smithy. I'll take a walk around the
• 9:45
  scene. Sure thing.
• 9:47
  Let me know when you're happy and we'll run clean up.
• 9:50
  Will do. I figured I'd look around, maybe
• 9:55
  talk to Jonesy, see what was what.
• 9:59
  Guess the Victoria was dragged here already dead or bleeding
• 10:03
  out. Inevitable really.
• 10:06
  Our serial killer must ordered a whole batch of the pointy little
• 10:08
  things. Bust lock too.
• 10:17
  I wondered how the auto shop played into this whole story.
• 10:21
  I guess they're going to struggle.
• 10:22
  Oh, Benny had his place insured. Good evening to you.
• 10:27
  I had a notion you might have got caught up in this, given
• 10:31
  this is your place. They tell me you saw something.
• 10:34
  Hey, Fabian. Yeah, I I did see something.
• 10:37
  Just don't know what. How is Benny involved?
• 10:44
  Benny. He is.
• 10:46
  He just came along when the cops were called.
• 10:48
  Worried something had happened to me.
• 10:50
  Took a good look at the body. Said there was nothing special
• 10:52
  about it. Good to have someone who gives a
• 10:55
  damn, I guess. Tell me about the victim.
• 11:01
  Big square guy. Lots of muscles.
• 11:03
  Think he was a biker. You know, that sort of look to
• 11:05
  him. You didn't know him?
• 11:07
  No, he wasn't a client at the shop.
• 11:09
  I'd have recognized him. He was definitely mortal.
• 11:13
  Oh, for sure. And can't you still smell the
• 11:15
  blood? You don't know what you saw.
• 11:20
  What do you mean by that? Sasquatch with a bouffon hairdo.
• 11:24
  New breed. A dog with too many legs.
• 11:26
  Supreme Court Justice hovering 3 feet off the ground.
• 11:29
  No, no, it's fuzzy. OK, let let me try.
• 11:36
  There was the victim. Like I said, this biker, he was
• 11:41
  walking down the street, lost his bike.
• 11:44
  Just listen. He was walking.
• 11:47
  Down the street and there was someone else coming the other
• 11:50
  way, or maybe a couple, but. I I can't remember.
• 11:56
  Them Fabian, it's like someone took a cloud of ink and brushed
• 11:59
  over them in my head and then next thing the biker is lying on
• 12:04
  the concrete, rebar through his chest, head pulled off.
• 12:11
  So you didn't see the killing? I I, I think I did see the
• 12:17
  killing. It's just I can't remember it.
• 12:20
  Or the passers by, if that's what they were.
• 12:24
  No, I'm. I'm not even sure there were two
• 12:25
  of them. Maybe 1 is just a dark cloud.
• 12:30
  You've considered the possibility that Zeus did this
• 12:32
  one. Was there lightning involved?
• 12:35
  You know, Fabian, sometimes I'm not sure how you keep your job.
• 12:40
  Remember anything else? I got nothing.
• 12:43
  Just a hole in my memory. Felt to me like someone had
• 12:47
  messed with Max's mind that I should take a look at.
• 12:53
  Look after yourself, Max. OK.
• 12:56
  Be careful. I don't like this one bit.
• 13:03
  Nope. Yeah, I wasn't going to do that.
• 13:06
  What secrets are we keeping? Oh, a woman.
• 13:19
  A pregnant woman. Dark hair.
• 13:21
  She was so scared. This was not quiet, but then
• 13:40
  would anyone blink a loud noises coming from an auto shop?
• 13:46
  Sometimes I wondered how much crime was caused by the makers
• 13:49
  of little plastic signs just to keep the tray going.
• 13:55
  Jonesy, I hear you were first responder.
• 13:58
  That's right, detective. Called in by Mr. Webber when he
• 14:01
  found the body. Been knocking on doors trying to
• 14:04
  get a picture of what happened. Nothing useful so far.
• 14:07
  As usual, no one saw anything and no one screaming I am the
• 14:11
  killer on any nearby CCTV. Anything to report, Anything
• 14:16
  catch your eye? Apart from the big guy missing
• 14:19
  his head with an iron bar through his rib cage.
• 14:22
  Yeah, apart from that. Not a whiff of anything
• 14:25
  detective. Weird, right?
• 14:27
  You'd usually have a blood trail.
• 14:29
  Boot prints car tracks, especially in the snow.
• 14:32
  No neighbors heard it happen. Does a big guy really die this
• 14:35
  quietly? You're right, that is strange.
• 14:41
  What did Max tell you? Huh, I have the notes, but I
• 14:44
  think you should really talk to him.
• 14:46
  He was pretty confused. I already talked to him.
• 14:50
  He thinks he saw someone other than the victim.
• 14:52
  Buddy. He's really struggling.
• 14:55
  Yeah, This is why the captain called you in, baby.
• 14:57
  And seems like your kind of case.
• 14:59
  Good talk. Well, that settled it.
• 15:18
  Either our killer was as strong as an ox, or he'd hired a moving
• 15:21
  company. I thought not that I didn't see
• 16:03
  the point in confusing things. Jesus, it's called tonight.
• 16:48
  Be released from your daily toil.
• 16:49
  Except. Shelby, have you a moment before
• 16:53
  the rapture comes? Resign yourself Fabian, let your
• 16:57
  cares flow from you worries for another day.
• 17:02
  Could you spare a drink before the end of the world?
• 17:05
  Oh yes, Fabian Bliss is coming. Embrace me.
• 17:17
  Exquisite and if I might say, nourishing.
• 17:21
  You just keep spreading the good word.
• 17:23
  I have other things to do. Do not waste your life, Fabian.
• 17:27
  Count your blessings instead. I figured I needed my strength
• 17:47
  for other Oh, that would have just wasn't going to speak to
• 17:49
  me. I didn't think that would help.
• 17:53
  I thought of another thing. I took a look inside your head.
• 17:57
  You did what that fuzziness you were talking about.
• 18:01
  There was a woman, a pregnant woman.
• 18:04
  I no, I don't remember that. And I got a sense of wings, like
• 18:10
  angel's wings. If this is my killer, things
• 18:13
  just got very weird. So who was she?
• 18:18
  That's what I mean to find out. OK, thanks.
• 18:22
  I'll take a look around later. Hey, Jonesy, Just want to check
• 18:45
  something. Any sightings of a pregnant
• 18:48
  woman from the neighbors? Funny you should say that
• 18:50
  detective. We got this off.
• 18:52
  The CCTV on the building across the alley doesn't have a Direct
• 18:57
  Line on the crime scene. But it did.
• 18:58
  Get this. An extremely blurry photo of a
• 19:03
  woman who is most definitely in the family way.
• 19:07
  Looks like it to me. That is interesting.
• 19:15
  Good work. All done, clean it up all spick
• 19:31
  and span maestro, so the public don't start poking around.
• 19:35
  Between you and me, this street might cause less attention if we
• 19:39
  just dropped a small bomb. On it.
• 19:42
  Anyway, get anything useful? Yeah.
• 19:46
  Anyone see a woman around here who's in the family way?
• 19:49
  Got a statement offer? Pregnant.
• 19:52
  Not that I noticed, but we had a few officers out canvassing on
• 19:55
  the early shift. If you have a good description
• 19:58
  you could check files back at the PD.
• 20:01
  Good notion, I'll do that. Smithy's idea was a good one.
• 20:16
  I should check back at the PD. I wanted to see if anyone had a
• 20:37
  lead on our ghostly mother to be that and Max's memory loss was a
• 20:42
  concern. Worth checking if anyone else
• 20:44
  was suffering the same. So what was the deal at the auto
• 20:49
  shop? Not the captain was right, I was
• 20:52
  interested in it. Another killing, but not
• 20:55
  something you should worry about.
• 20:56
  Oh, a special case. Yeah, this one featured a.
• 21:02
  La La, La La, la. I can't hear you.
• 21:04
  OK, OK, I do have some totally unrelated questions though.
• 21:09
  George heard anything about a pregnant woman?
• 21:15
  Oh, you in trouble my friend? Well, I am always in trouble,
• 21:20
  but not that kind. I meant any cases recently.
• 21:24
  Mysterious woman heavy with child sounds a bit biblical but
• 21:27
  like that. But it is not a good news story.
• 21:30
  Yeah, lots of people have kids, even criminals.
• 21:33
  And God help us, the PD. You know anything about memory
• 21:39
  loss? I am as sharp and incisive as
• 21:41
  the day I took the oath, OK? Yeah, sure.
• 21:45
  I know that George. Of course, I more meant you
• 21:49
  heard about any cases. People showing up with holes in
• 21:52
  their stories, confused. This is Seattle.
• 21:55
  What do you think? That is a fairpoint.
• 21:58
  Check out the files. Best place to look for
• 22:01
  individual cases of trends? That is also a fairpoint.
• 22:06
  Keep a close eye on that desk, buddy.
• 22:08
  Got to keep looking busy I guess.
• 22:12
  Time to talk to my old friend in the records room.
• 23:34
  Fabian, you here to inspect my indices?
• 23:38
  Any recent entries about a mother to be?
• 23:41
  It's a big city, Fabian. Got any more details?
• 23:46
  Anything come up near the auto shop?
• 23:48
  Nothing on the spot. Widening the search just a
• 23:51
  little should be helpful, but give me more reports filed from
• 23:56
  tonight's killings. Nothing interesting in my entree
• 23:59
  where mothers are concerned. Anything else?
• 24:02
  Any cases of memory loss? Let's take a look at our search
• 24:06
  area. Huh, that's interesting.
• 24:09
  What's that? Nothing mother related, but
• 24:11
  there are an unusually high number of reports of memory loss
• 24:15
  around central Seattle. Oh, can.
• 24:18
  You give me some names. That's the thing with memory
• 24:21
  loss. Detective names are often hard
• 24:23
  to pinpoint, but let me skim the notes.
• 24:26
  A biker named Guru, he's been picked up a few times for
• 24:30
  intoxication and definitely has a less than perfect recall.
• 24:34
  Then there's Carla, who used to be a paramedic.
• 24:38
  She dropped out because she couldn't trust herself to
• 24:40
  deliver the right meds. She's out there on the street
• 24:43
  somewhere. Then of course there's Mr. Lemon
• 24:46
  in the cells. Now that is interesting.
• 24:49
  I know all these people drinking buddies.
• 24:52
  Detective, you could say that. If you can give me any more
• 24:56
  details, we could have a hot session of record correlation.
• 25:00
  What do you say? I'll see what I can find out.
• 25:03
  I'll see you later. Oh, Detective, you just use me.
• 25:07
  You never even stay for breakfast.
• 25:11
  Guru Carla and Mr. Lemon. Time to shake some trees.
• 25:14
  See what fell out. Other than citrus fruit.
• 25:20
  Files said something about Mr. Lemon.
• 25:26
  Hey I just thought of something. You going to do my paperwork for
• 25:29
  me? Well, don't let anyone burn down
• 25:32
  the station. I'll see you later.
• 25:54
  What's cooking, Charlie? Detective Detective Gong.
• 25:58
  Gong Member. Oh that just sounds painful,
• 26:03
  though I hear they can do a lot with prosthetics these days.
• 26:10
  I thought you were drunk Mr. Lemon, but the records say you
• 26:13
  were picked up sober. Just confused, remember
• 26:16
  anything? Lemony.
• 26:18
  Moss, Fabio. That's what I thought.
• 26:23
  If only I knew a bit more about you, like where you were found
• 26:27
  or who your favorite music venue were.
• 26:30
  Anything really. I'm using, I'm using grease.
• 26:37
  I'm using grease, Mr. Fabio, I'm using grease.
• 26:45
  How? Sweet that sound.
• 26:52
  You're a churchgoer. Blessed Holy Mother.
• 26:59
  Guess that's a yes. Thanks, Mr. Lemon.
• 27:04
  Farewell, Marcel. Love you mom.
• 27:15
  I didn't see the need. Yeah, I thought I was on the
• 27:18
  right line. You doing OK Seattle?
• 27:20
  Don't get. Me wrong.
• 27:22
  I like this city, but reckon she's on the big side.
• 27:25
  Pound for pound, she's mother. Us both Smoth.
• 27:29
  Sure, buddy. Hey, Orville Orson, Oliver
• 27:34
  Cromwell. You remember anything yet?
• 27:39
  Out for a walk in Little Mother Snug and a hug Bug and a rug.
• 27:49
  Folks call me peculiar, but you, you are on a whole new angle,
• 27:53
  Angelo. Mother, mother, kiss, kiss
• 27:57
  goodnight. Just full of belly lemony lemony
• 28:03
  Moss. And a great big lemony Moss to
• 28:06
  you, Feta. I'd like a little sip if you
• 28:11
  don't mind. Yes, make another.
• 28:22
  I knew you were a man of taste. You've been here what, 3 days?
• 28:26
  That must have been one hell of a Bender fella.
• 28:29
  That or someone slipped you at Mickey.
• 28:31
  Our so personal fun Fabio, drunk, nice and warm, takes
• 28:38
  cares of what? Eat them up.
• 28:42
  Oh I hear you. Always good to find a nice
• 28:45
  relaxing beverage. How is life through a bottle?
• 28:50
  Got to say I am jealous. Not a thing I've known for a
• 28:53
  long long time. And contractually speaking,
• 28:56
  given my profession, I should be 3 whiskeys deep by now and
• 29:00
  looking for a pack of smokes. My friend, life's a bullet,
• 29:05
  Cherries. Sweet, sticky, full of color and
• 29:11
  and. Spin me your philosophy there,
• 29:14
  Wilbur, Fabio, Philo, Filo. And some sizes just the pits.
• 29:27
  Nice one. Take care, Blair.
• 29:33
  See if they've you say I'm his mommy.
• 29:45
  I wanted to can't. Believe she ditched me.
• 30:28
  Hey old buddy, I'd like to buzz your chill just a little.
• 30:32
  The travellers on the road, Detective, they'll be here soon.
• 30:38
  Hey buddy, a filing cabinet told me you've been picked up.
• 30:41
  Kind of confused. You want to tell me about it?
• 30:44
  We all have spaces in the clouds of the mind, my friend.
• 30:49
  But my confusion's my problem. One for deep theological
• 30:54
  contemplation. So you don't want to talk about
• 30:58
  it. Sorry.
• 31:01
  My mind is a temple. I need to be careful.
• 31:05
  Who I let? In You've never struck me as a
• 31:09
  religious man. If something scrambled your
• 31:14
  mind, maybe I can help. That's between me and my sense
• 31:19
  of God. Any God.
• 31:25
  Always a pleasure guru. You keep it real.
• 31:27
  The ghosts are watching and praying for you, my man.
• 31:34
  I didn't think that was worth. Nope.
• 31:36
  I had nothing to say. Well, hello there my friend.
• 31:42
  Well. Always pleasant to meet one of
• 31:45
  your kind, what with the ghosts being so loud lately.
• 31:50
  I hope recent days have been spiritual and full of love.
• 31:55
  My man. Troubled by ghosts, Maybe I can
• 32:06
  help. I've met many of your kind and
• 32:11
  none have succeeded. But I'm always willing to hear
• 32:16
  your thoughts. So what good words do you have
• 32:20
  to impart, my friend? How would one of your calling
• 32:24
  deal with ghosts? I do recite a mantra to calm the
• 32:36
  ghosts. Mantra.
• 32:39
  I didn't think one of your church would.
• 32:42
  Oh, this is a joke, right? What are you trying to pull
• 32:48
  here? Sorry, not sure what came over
• 32:52
  me there. Well.
• 32:58
  Well, I'll hope recent troubled by goat but so I find that
• 33:08
  psychoanalysis is the safest route.
• 33:12
  The couch. I didn't.
• 33:14
  Think you'd just, you know. Well, I hope recent trouble bug
• 33:25
  up. I've.
• 33:26
  Met. But I'm always so forgive
• 33:32
  yourself. Everything starts with that.
• 33:36
  That's a common refrain from a man of the cloth.
• 33:40
  So you know these are real ghosts I'm talking about here.
• 33:44
  Padre. Tell me more.
• 33:50
  I saw her right in front of me. She came out of nothing, like a
• 33:55
  haze becoming flesh. She spoke.
• 33:59
  She talked about her baby, the one she's still born.
• 34:03
  But I can't remember, Padre. I can't remember.
• 34:08
  I lost her. Everything about her.
• 34:15
  What did she tell you, my son? I can't remember what she spoke,
• 34:21
  but I swear I did see her, and sometimes I still see her from
• 34:27
  the corner of my eye as I walk the city.
• 34:30
  Her and sometimes others. So you don't know where this
• 34:37
  was? No, there are gaps my friend.
• 34:43
  Holes in my mind where thought has turned to smoke.
• 34:48
  I feel I have lost myself. Could you find me?
• 34:54
  Sure. I guess I could at least ask
• 34:56
  around. What's your name other than
• 34:59
  Guru? Before I was Guru, they used to
• 35:02
  call me David. David Devere.
• 35:08
  Really nice to meet you, David. Now I better get going.
• 35:15
  Asked to attend people, to strive, that sort of thing.
• 35:17
  Blessings be upon you. May you find peace, Padre.
• 35:29
  I needed to. Should.
• 35:34
  Have never. Left LA.
• 35:54
  Carla wasn't in her usual spot. I wondered where she'd got to.
• 36:08
  Food, drink, whatever you can spare, please.
• 36:30
  Say, Carla, you OK? You're not in your normal spot.
• 36:34
  I was just helping a friend out. Detective, are you in pain?
• 36:38
  I spoke to a friend who knows about these things and they said
• 36:41
  you got picked up by the PD all confused.
• 36:43
  What happened? You OK?
• 36:46
  You know how it is, Detective. When the call comes to help
• 36:49
  others, you see so many faces. They blur together for a time
• 36:53
  and. I guess I I guess.
• 36:56
  It all just got too much, I started to forget.
• 37:02
  Where did this happen? I don't know.
• 37:06
  I was treating people somewhere. Not not at the hospital.
• 37:10
  There was a young woman. She was so sad.
• 37:14
  And pregnant. Yes, I'm afraid I fell apart a
• 37:19
  little. It was all too much.
• 37:22
  I don't think she wanted me to see her.
• 37:24
  She was scared to see. That is very interesting.
• 37:30
  Now if we could just figure out where this happened.
• 37:33
  I volunteered in many places detective.
• 37:36
  I just can't remember. There are holes, missing pieces.
• 37:43
  Interesting you're not the first to tell me that.
• 37:46
  What's your full name? Carla, I'll run it at the
• 37:48
  station, see if some addresses fall out.
• 37:51
  Carla Long. Thank you kindly, Carla, and you
• 37:54
  have a good night. Spare a dollar.
• 38:11
  Really appreciate some help. I figured I needed my why,
• 38:58
  Detective. My drawers are just waiting for
• 39:01
  your touch. I've got the skinny on our
• 39:04
  missing memory cases. Can you do some digging?
• 39:07
  You know what rolls my Rolodex, don't you, Detective?
• 39:11
  So what have you got, Mr. Lemon? I've got nothing on except he
• 39:16
  sings Amazing Grace and goes to church.
• 39:18
  Every snippet is useful. Everything is connected.
• 39:22
  Carla's full name is Carla Long. She had a bit of an episode when
• 39:25
  she was treating a pregnant woman.
• 39:27
  Carla Long, huh? Yeah.
• 39:29
  She's here. Guru's real name is David
• 39:35
  Devere. He thinks he saw a ghost, a
• 39:37
  pregnant woman who materialized right in front of him.
• 39:40
  David Devere. Very good.
• 39:42
  Very good. I have it.
• 39:44
  Detective Carla Long spent time volunteering at Saint Stephen's,
• 39:48
  giving treatments to the poor. David attended church lectures
• 39:52
  of theology at Saint Stephen's. And doesn't that fit with your
• 39:55
  Mr. Lemon, who's into religious music?
• 39:58
  All three short of memory. You're right.
• 40:02
  Saint Stephen's is the key. Nice work.
• 40:06
  Knowledge base. Thanks.
• 40:08
  I need to follow up. You know where I am, Detective,
• 40:11
  if you want to root around there.
• 40:16
  It was then time to go to church.
• 40:19
  Something I didn't often say. Let me tell you, Saint Stephen's
• 40:25
  beckoned and I had Mr. Lemon's song on my lips.
• 40:28
  It was kind of catchy. So what did I know?
• 40:37
  Serial killer, dead biker guy of unusual size, Swiss cheese
• 40:42
  holes, and at least 4 heads. Every one of them had seen a
• 40:46
  pregnant woman, something like a ghost.
• 40:50
  The mother to be. It was niggling at the corner of
• 40:53
  my mind, but I couldn't get at it.
• 40:56
  Anyway, this woman, if she was real, was definitely at the
• 41:00
  scene of the crime. I wanted to talk to her a lot.
• 41:10
  On the right. Not sure we've met.
• 41:13
  I'm Fabian. I work for Betty.
• 41:15
  I've heard of you. All good things I hope.
• 41:18
  I have heard of you. I'm looking for a suspect young
• 41:22
  woman in the family way, if you know what I mean.
• 41:25
  And what is she suspected of? I just want to talk to her.
• 41:32
  That is the cop thing to say right?
• 41:35
  But I haven't seen her. Good luck on chasing her down.
• 41:39
  You sure you haven't seen her? She's involved in a bunch of
• 41:42
  decapitations, Kindred and mortals.
• 41:44
  She sounds tough, but she's not here.
• 41:47
  You can leave now. OK, thanks.
• 41:52
  Go away. I'd messed that up.
• 41:58
  Time for a do over I guess. Oh, that would have just brought
• 42:02
  me trouble Anda right. Not sure we've met.
• 42:08
  I'm Fabian. I work for Benny.
• 42:11
  I've heard of you. All good things I hope.
• 42:14
  I have heard of you. Looking for a young woman in the
• 42:21
  family way. She's in trouble, I think.
• 42:24
  Yeah, her name is Misty, and she's scared.
• 42:28
  She's had terrible things done to her.
• 42:31
  If you hurt her, I will find your haven.
• 42:34
  And I will visit you every night just as you wake.
• 42:37
  And each time I RIP out your tongue by the root.
• 42:43
  Who hurt her? I don't know, but when I find
• 42:47
  out I will slice them paper thin and donate them as toilet paper
• 42:50
  to the city restrooms. She's downstairs.
• 42:54
  It might take you a bit of time. What do you mean?
• 42:58
  You'll see. Vampires shouldn't find crib
• 43:11
  spooky, right? Hello, Fabian.
• 43:20
  Well, hello Misty. Right?
• 43:24
  Have we met? Memory stretches and tears and
• 43:28
  sometimes it must break, she says.
• 43:33
  There are so many pictures you left behind.
• 43:39
  Anda said you'd been hurt. Someone had done terrible
• 43:42
  things. Yes, Fabian.
• 43:46
  Yes they did. Fabian on purpose.
• 43:50
  Gifted me, saved me, damned me. I have never forgotten how I was
• 43:58
  gifted. A terrible, beautiful thing.
• 44:02
  It saved us both. She's so thankful, but so
• 44:10
  terribly bored. You said she.
• 44:16
  Are you talking about your baby? A child is a gift for eternity,
• 44:20
  not just for Christmas. Well, OK, I can't help but
• 44:30
  notice you're on the way to being a mother, and I can't
• 44:34
  figure out how that works at all.
• 44:36
  We can't get pregnant, can we? What's this?
• 44:38
  The stork get lost? An inaccurate conception.
• 44:42
  Oh, Detective, there is no way to be blessed with new life when
• 44:46
  you were already dead. But all the dead were alive Once
• 44:50
  Upon a time. She knows that, And so do you.
• 44:54
  You mean? You were pregnant during your
• 45:01
  embrace. How do you think it works,
• 45:04
  detective? Did it never cross your mind?
• 45:08
  Not once. The detective should be armed
• 45:11
  with all the facts and service and pride and dedication.
• 45:22
  You were there at the murder scene, right?
• 45:25
  What did you see? A man dreams, a man dies.
• 45:30
  The cops scrub the asphalt, scrub the cellar floor, and no
• 45:35
  one remembers there are some. Things you can save.
• 45:39
  Without memory. Perhaps I saw him, perhaps she
• 45:43
  did. Metal cross and metal stinks.
• 45:48
  But his face eludes me as I elude you.
• 46:00
  Why did you wipe all those memories Max and the guy in the
• 46:04
  drunk tank? They saw me and remember I
• 46:09
  should stay out of sight. I need to stay out of sight.
• 46:14
  Why? He's looking for me.
• 46:16
  Fabian. I think he wants to kill me.
• 46:21
  Who? The Father.
• 46:24
  Really. OK, please.
• 46:29
  I need to know what you saw. The victim.
• 46:31
  A biker? The killer.
• 46:35
  Does a killer stop the streets detective or is it only an echo?
• 46:40
  This was getting me nowhere. Her memory wasn't connected
• 46:43
  upright. I needed a moment to gather some
• 46:49
  thoughts. Stay there.
• 46:59
  Let's have a peek, shall we? No, there must be more here.
• 47:09
  What secrets are we keeping? That can't be what you're
• 47:15
  hiding. Let's see what's going on in
• 47:18
  here. That's not what I'm looking for.
• 47:23
  What are you hiding? I need to find something else.
• 47:31
  What secrets are? Oh, we saw we hid a blood
• 47:42
  drinker, one of our kind, a kindred.
• 47:50
  Let's talk some more. OK, let's figure this out.
• 47:54
  Now you did see someone a vampire, which makes no sense as
• 47:59
  our killer is not a vampire. Oh, but he was, yes, he was a
• 48:05
  brute. A thug, a made man.
• 48:10
  He scared you so much you hid and afterwards you blanked Max
• 48:13
  so this man could never find you.
• 48:19
  What's hunting you? The court is hunting me.
• 48:23
  You said you'd save me. I.
• 48:26
  Did Fabian Hector liked you? He trusted you.
• 48:36
  Are you here to save me? I she was bleeding out.
• 48:47
  I didn't have much time and neither did she.
• 48:51
  Easy miss. Just tell me what you saw, it'll
• 48:54
  save lives. Who are you?
• 48:59
  You're one of them, aren't you? You mean am I like Hector?
• 49:07
  I guess I am, except I'm less follically challenged right now.
• 49:12
  My name's Fabian. Fabian Hector liked you.
• 49:20
  He trusted you. Are you here to save me?
• 49:31
  Tell me what happened. Hector heard someone coming.
• 49:35
  He told me to hide. He was worried about me.
• 49:41
  Then I just heard those noises, that horrible, horrible sound.
• 49:54
  I can only imagine. I could hear him breathing, I
• 49:59
  guess I made a noise. I was so upset.
• 50:02
  He found me, dragged me out. It was so fast.
• 50:09
  It's bad, right? I know it's bad.
• 50:14
  It doesn't hurt. You're Hector's girl.
• 50:18
  No, he, he was helping me out, keeping me safe.
• 50:25
  There were people looking for me, you see.
• 50:28
  Guess they found me. They all wanted my baby.
• 50:32
  That's what Hector said. And so did he, the father.
• 50:36
  Too late now. Guess he won.
• 50:42
  Who's the father? Johnny, dear Johnny, he's one of
• 50:49
  you guys you know, works the rackets like you for Lou Graham.
• 50:55
  Biologically unlikely, but sure, let's go with that.
• 50:59
  So you and Johnny created a small miracle.
• 51:03
  He he wanted me to take care of it, but.
• 51:10
  But you didn't want to. I couldn't do it.
• 51:15
  When I found Hector, he told me I had to get out of Dodge, he
• 51:18
  said. Because it was Johnny's kid.
• 51:20
  Other people were hunting me. What other people?
• 51:25
  He called them the court. Well, pardon my language, but
• 51:33
  shit. It doesn't matter now, does it?
• 51:37
  They've killed actor, they've killed me and they've killed my
• 51:42
  baby. Johnny Campbell's baby.
• 51:46
  It was then the pieces snapped together.
• 51:49
  Vampires can't make babies, but ghouls certainly can.
• 51:52
  Campbell lose muscle. Why did the court care so much?
• 51:57
  I didn't know. But they wanted to catch or
• 52:00
  kill, and Hector wanted her safe, that was clear.
• 52:04
  She was a playing piece on a board she didn't understand.
• 52:08
  I didn't either, but at least I knew some of the players.
• 52:12
  I also realized by me spending all this time pondering, she was
• 52:16
  nearly out of gas. Hey, hey, you still with me?
• 52:24
  Yes. I got an idea.
• 52:29
  I don't know why I did it. Maybe I was trying to save her,
• 52:42
  but if I didn't know then, I know now.
• 52:45
  I damned her. What's your name?
• 52:50
  Misty. OK, Misty.
• 52:53
  I'm going to help you. Be safe, both of you.
• 53:03
  In hindsight, of course. We all do things we're not the
• 53:07
  least bit proud of. Well, good evening.
• 53:32
  You sire the child, Fabian. So I did.
• 53:36
  Does she still haunt the city? Seems to me she's got really
• 53:40
  good at not being seen. What we should do is go see
• 53:44
  Ryong. She's expecting us.
• 53:46
  You're not curious. Always.
• 53:49
  But whatever happens now has to be her choice.
• 55:25
  Fire. Take a seat.
• 55:27
  Fire. Thanks for coming.
• 55:33
  Ryong. I assume you managed to smooth
• 55:36
  things over. That should take care of in a
• 55:39
  court politics, and thankfully, William's sudden exit and the
• 55:45
  repercussions of that exit aren't public knowledge yet.
• 55:57
  Oh, how is that? No one knew he was there.
• 56:02
  As far as others are concerned, the explosion was random,
• 56:06
  unconnected, and for all they know, William's still in hiding.
• 56:11
  And as long as that remains the case, our heads above the water.
• 56:15
  Assuming no leaks, of course. But this gardener knows the
• 56:21
  truth. And you say he's Sabat, an enemy
• 56:25
  off this court. And Sophia says she thinks the
• 56:27
  Sabat are tied to your mark. Seems our interest just became
• 56:32
  aligned. Nomad, I'm expediting your
• 56:35
  investigation, and I have a good idea where to start.
• 56:39
  The Underground. What makes you think I will find
• 56:44
  answers in this underground? Thali reviewed the PD figures,
• 56:49
  disappearances, deaths, Kind and Kindred, both always near an
• 56:53
  entrance to the underground. It's what drove out the
• 56:57
  Nosferatu. Campbell never looked into it,
• 57:00
  said he had other priorities. I'm not saying it's our smoking
• 57:04
  gun, but it is a gun and it is smoking and I'm going to disarm
• 57:10
  it. The gardener talked about going
• 57:12
  under the soil. What makes you think it is
• 57:19
  about? Oh I'm not certain, but it's a
• 57:23
  canker on the city. The way it's been disregarded,
• 57:28
  that's a red flag for me. Only way to know is by process
• 57:32
  of elimination. Could be the Anarch simply
• 57:35
  stirred something. Either way, it was going to fall
• 57:38
  on your shoulders, but Alcam's razor, this is it.
• 57:44
  I think you are right, at least it is worth a visit.
• 57:49
  It's a big tourist attraction, believe it or not.
• 57:52
  Only ones who go down there now are mortals, and only ever in
• 57:56
  their sanctioned playgrounds. But deeper than those I'll level
• 58:00
  with you. I don't know what kind of threat
• 58:03
  you'll face and lose day getting sent down.
• 58:06
  There was a punishment, a convenient solution for problem
• 58:09
  kindred. Besides, you won't be alone.
• 58:13
  The Gangrel next will be with you.
• 58:18
  Then I will be glad of the company.
• 58:21
  That's cute, but I doubt she feels the same.
• 58:24
  Tolly found out she's been taking certain liberties,
• 58:29
  something I'd hoped the Sheriff would be on top of.
• 58:33
  Now I'd be inclined to make that her first strike, but obviously
• 58:38
  Lou was furious. Remember what I said?
• 58:42
  The Underground being Lou's favorite form of punishment
• 58:46
  since Nick's works Lou directly. Lou gets to decide what happens
• 58:51
  when she's fired. Use the public entrance.
• 58:55
  You'll find the Gangrel easily enough.
• 58:57
  And fire. Be careful down there.
• 59:15
  That tour is top of the list of things to do for our visitors.
• 59:18
  Fun day out for the Okies. You know, maybe Tommy and Ryong
• 59:22
  are right. Maybe our falling tourist
• 59:24
  numbers is because they're all getting eaten by something.
• 59:28
  You know someone would have mentioned that in the review
• 59:30
  though, right? No sign of Nicks.
• 1:00:16
  And a lot of mortals. She'll stick out.
• 1:00:23
  We should be able to track her down easily enough.
• 1:00:27
  You catch that aroma? That's Nick's.
• 1:00:29
  All right, We should get after her.
• 1:00:46
  1885 to 1886 Sony Anton Chinese riots depicted here.
• 1:01:01
  Nick's. Nick's running ahead like a mud
• 1:01:04
  off the leash carefully. You get that subtle perfume of
• 1:01:09
  wet dog. You know Gangrosby reckon Nicks
• 1:01:13
  is on 4 feet instead of two right now.
• 1:01:27
  Something's got Nicks all fired up.
• 1:01:29
  She's got a scent or something like that.
• 1:01:33
  Why did she not wait for us? Who knows, maybe it's a rabbit.
• 1:01:37
  Gangrel. About as much sense as God gave
• 1:01:39
  a goose. A German born Madam who rose to
• 1:01:51
  become one of city's most influential citizens of the turn
• 1:01:55
  of the 20th century, Lou Graham built the city's most elegant
• 1:01:59
  parlour house in Pioneer Square, where were said to be stronger
• 1:02:04
  than at City Hall. I can see why they don't let
• 1:02:15
  little Susie or Johnny mess around here.
• 1:02:18
  Feels like the ground's about to heave ho any minute.
• 1:02:23
  And it doesn't smell like what dog?
• 1:02:26
  Wounded dog, maybe. Oh, next you don't?
• 1:02:30
  Oh no. She found something and they
• 1:02:37
  destroyed her. Never did this.
• 1:02:41
  We'll have an entrance nearby. Ryong said she'd been taking
• 1:02:49
  certain liberties. Some cannot so easily let go.
• 1:03:00
  If I was a betting sword, I'd bet whatever did this to her is
• 1:03:03
  the same whatever Ryong has us looking for.
• 1:03:06
  So let us find it. Took the words right out of my
• 1:03:10
  mouth, so to speak. No son believes a trail of claw
• 1:03:18
  marks. This is interesting.
• 1:03:20
  Ryong said the attacks were all near entrances to the
• 1:03:23
  underground. Such as right here.
• 1:03:48
  I. Couldn't get back.
• 1:03:57
  No, the only way out is through. This is old Seattle.
• 1:04:34
  What was that? What matter?
• 1:05:08
  Oh my. What do you think these are
• 1:06:03
  then? I have heard the rumor of
• 1:06:05
  Sabbath created shock troops. These fit the description called
• 1:06:10
  the unbirthed or sometimes. Moon.
• 1:06:14
  Flowers. Cute.
• 1:06:50
  Oh my, trouble does come in spades.
• 1:07:31
  Here. Fire those creatures.
• 1:09:44
  What or whoever made them? They could be the work of the
• 1:09:48
  Sabat. Not everything has to be the
• 1:09:51
  Sabat. No, but they remind me of a
• 1:09:54
  Sabat myth. I do not believe in
• 1:09:57
  coincidences. I.
• 1:11:07
  Need to feed. None.
• 1:13:34
  And what, might I ask, is an unbirthed exactly?
• 1:13:39
  The Tremier may know more. What I know, I know only through
• 1:13:43
  rumor. They are fledgling, Kindred,
• 1:13:47
  buried, then raised from a mass grave by a ritual shorn of names
• 1:13:52
  or memories. Wow, that's just dandy.
• 1:13:58
  So if such creatures were to breach the surface.
• 1:14:02
  It would shatter the masquerade beyond repair.
• 1:14:05
  The hunters would swarm. Seattle would fall.
• 1:14:09
  You think this is what the Sabat are after?
• 1:14:12
  There will be a deeper aim. With the gardener as their
• 1:14:15
  leader, I guess we ask him what was it the last thing he said.
• 1:14:22
  Slip beneath the soil. He is here.
• 1:14:56
  Gunfire. Somehow I don't think those
• 1:14:58
  creatures can handle the pistol. What?
• 1:15:06
  Was military. Hunters.
• 1:15:10
  The. Gardener lies behind that door.
• 1:15:18
  I. Know it what?
• 1:15:19
  Are. You doing?
• 1:15:24
  Are going to destroy the door. Fire.
• 1:15:26
  Those things are everywhere. We need to get inside.
• 1:15:28
  Fire. Do what you do best.
• 1:16:30
  Know man, survive a caging director.
• 1:16:47
  Stand here. That was interesting.
• 1:18:00
  Well, that is a whole mess of rocks.
• 1:18:04
  No way we're getting through that.
• 1:18:05
  But we do need to go deeper. I reckon we should head back to
• 1:18:09
  the surface. Seattle's riddled with holes.
• 1:18:12
  Someone will know another way in?
• 1:18:23
  What's going down in underground town?
• 1:18:25
  Almighty Sheriff Clowns with balloons.
• 1:18:32
  My way was blocked, troops well armed to deal with our kind.
• 1:18:37
  That tracks. Guess the slap happy soldiers
• 1:18:40
  from the IAO finally showed up. IAO.
• 1:18:44
  Information Awareness office. Like your old school
• 1:18:47
  Inquisition, but less about the cross, more about the extremely
• 1:18:51
  cross. Slaughtered licks for government
• 1:18:53
  pay went off the rails. They've got a lot of shiny toys.
• 1:18:59
  Armed hunters, yes, very like the Inquisition.
• 1:19:03
  They have buried an entrance to the lower levels.
• 1:19:06
  I need another way in. Well shit, you and this is me
• 1:19:10
  saying this. Don't want to go down, believe
• 1:19:13
  me. Ruins and scars and the grinding
• 1:19:16
  of bones, babe. I am certain the gardener is
• 1:19:27
  down there, the leader of the Sabbath, the one behind
• 1:19:29
  Isabella, who turned Willem. Uh huh, you still think Willem
• 1:19:34
  was part of a cult, not a savant with poor choices and best gear?
• 1:19:39
  Fine, listen, great fire fucked up the city and that's why they
• 1:19:45
  buried the underground, but the most?
• 1:19:47
  Fucked up parts. They got buried deeper with
• 1:19:51
  extreme prejudice and heavy duty concrete.
• 1:19:55
  You want to crawl in the darkest holes?
• 1:19:57
  You go talk to Mama Lou. That was her town and her
• 1:20:01
  choices. Go see her and keep my name off
• 1:20:06
  your lips. This was your idea.
• 1:20:09
  Very well. It always comes back to Lou
• 1:20:16
  Grey. Well, let's bite the bullet.
• 1:20:18
  Back to the glacier. You know, I've thought about
• 1:20:23
  that door. Given what Polly said about Lou,
• 1:20:26
  that design looked Asian influenced to me.
• 1:20:29
  Chinese, even. If I'm not mistaken, Lou worked
• 1:20:32
  with Chinese laborers. I reckon that place is part of
• 1:20:36
  her own life before the fire. And she buried it.
• 1:20:39
  Why? When you saw the tour, Seattle
• 1:20:42
  is all about the Madam with the heart of gold.
• 1:20:45
  Not a mention of Rosalind or this mystery sire.
• 1:20:48
  Guess she wanted them forgotten. Those hunters have a head start.
• 1:21:31
  No, Darwin, let's get to the gardener before they do.
• 1:22:01
  Fire, darling, do come in. You have been busy.
• 1:22:05
  Tell me, why are you here? I will speak plainly.
• 1:22:12
  There is a door in the underground, you know, of which
• 1:22:15
  I speak. I need to get inside.
• 1:22:18
  There's nothing down there. If she was mortal, there'd be
• 1:22:21
  sweat on her brow. That is not what I have been
• 1:22:29
  told, and everyone directs me to you.
• 1:22:32
  Oh, to have discontented underlings.
• 1:22:36
  But consider my curiosity, Pete. If, hypothetically, I were to
• 1:22:42
  consider your request, what possible reason would I have for
• 1:22:47
  doing so? The hunters have taken an
• 1:22:53
  interest. A little interest has never done
• 1:22:57
  me any harm. What else do you have?
• 1:23:01
  The recent scandals, Benny, Isabella, Willem all were linked
• 1:23:04
  to the Sabat. I believe there is a pack in
• 1:23:07
  Seattle and it may be operating beneath our feet.
• 1:23:11
  A fanciful tale. Why don't you try again?
• 1:23:17
  Just a few nights ago, you were attacked in your own haven.
• 1:23:21
  You cannot afford to ignore another threat.
• 1:23:25
  Don't test me, I have survived long enough to judge my own
• 1:23:29
  danger. Is that really all you have?
• 1:23:34
  I have heard the voice toying with me, summoning me into the
• 1:23:38
  darkness below from a mind that others name the gardener.
• 1:23:43
  The Gardner. I believe he is a child of
• 1:23:46
  Melkov, that he is behind that door in the underground and he
• 1:23:50
  is calling me to him. That's not possible.
• 1:23:54
  But that that would mean that would mean no.
• 1:24:02
  I cannot help you unless we are honest with each other.
• 1:24:06
  There was someone, a Melkavian I had forgotten.
• 1:24:10
  I I thought he was gone before fire.
• 1:24:14
  I was not entirely honest. I have indeed seen visions.
• 1:24:20
  I believed it was the beckoning. But if you are right.
• 1:24:29
  He has LED both of us in a mind game.
• 1:24:31
  This Malkavian, he is Sabat Lou Graham.
• 1:24:35
  Tell me what you know of him, how to get to him.
• 1:24:38
  I am still not sure it's the one I remember, but if so, he was
• 1:24:46
  nothing then. A minor irritant, A footnote to
• 1:24:49
  history. He shouldn't give you trouble.
• 1:24:52
  There's another entrance here in the basement.
• 1:24:54
  I give you permission to descend and fire.
• 1:24:58
  If this is true, his destruction will change everything.
• 1:25:09
  I will end him for both of us. None.
• 1:26:45
  Here's our hunters. Keep it low fire.
• 1:26:51
  These folks play for keeps and they know how to hurt us.
• 1:28:49
  I wouldn't go near that if I were you.
• 1:28:52
  Designed to fry our kind. Then I shall find a different
• 1:28:55
  path. One that doesn't Christmas up
• 1:28:58
  like bacon. None.
• 1:31:01
  Terminating pursuit, returning to patrol.
• 1:31:15
  Yellow status hostile. Location unknown.
• 1:31:33
  Not. Resist
• 1:31:59
  I hunger. Maybe this was one of Lou's
• 1:32:16
  pleasure palaces, Fantasy places for the richest clients, You
• 1:32:20
  know, Mother Hannigan. Interesting.
• 1:32:56
  Can't. Get.
• 1:33:06
  A clear shot. Lost track
• 1:33:39
  surrender in your termination with right body is hidden.
• 1:33:42
  Stay on high alert. None.
• 1:35:35
  Right body is hidden. Stay on high alert point WP.
• 1:35:58
  My. Blood is yours.
• 1:36:23
  Here. Come.
• 1:37:49
  I need to feed. None.
• 1:39:07
  Stand here. Patrol Pattern Omega Beta
• 1:39:58
  weapons ready. Stay
• 1:40:24
  ready for imminent engagement. Stay ready for imminent
• 1:40:38
  engagement. He's done.
• 1:40:46
  Well, tonight he's established the base of operations.
• 1:40:50
  He had Toms rolled out and we're already detecting a dark mobile
• 1:40:55
  network operating in the city. Triangulated signal Bring us
• 1:41:00
  here. Multiple client sources have
• 1:41:04
  closed off this evening, which suggests the flight body are
• 1:41:07
  actively trained. They are scared.
• 1:41:13
  Well, I'm personally a might apprehensive.
• 1:41:15
  Now I know you're tired and it's been a long night, lost a lot of
• 1:41:19
  good people already, but remember your training and
• 1:41:23
  remember what we fight for. Reckon they met up with some of
• 1:41:27
  our nasty little underground buddies?
• 1:41:29
  These things down here are monsters and should be
• 1:41:32
  exterminated on site. But remember when we start
• 1:41:36
  cleaning house above ground, they won't look like monsters
• 1:41:39
  anymore. Like bodies are cockroaches that
• 1:41:42
  wear our faces and they will lose any means necessary to
• 1:41:46
  survive. They are faster than you.
• 1:41:49
  They are stronger than you. They can make you worship them
• 1:41:53
  or shit your pants with just. They can dissolve into the
• 1:41:58
  shadows, shove into your veins, and eat your heart out from
• 1:42:01
  inside the crib cage. They are deaf and they are
• 1:42:07
  everything we fear, but they fear us right back.
• 1:42:13
  They know we can kill them, and that is our job.
• 1:42:17
  When you face them, you must harness every ounce of bravery,
• 1:42:21
  of faith within your soul. You must learn to channel that
• 1:42:25
  fair and that hatred into resolve.
• 1:42:28
  Because we will make no mistake about it.
• 1:42:33
  We will not rest until, God willing, we have destroyed every
• 1:42:38
  single last one of them. Guess that was mother hen.
• 1:42:55
  I wonder how deep they dug in. I do not think they have found
• 1:42:58
  the gardener. I fancy we'd have heard the
• 1:43:02
  screams. In scent and descent we shall
• 1:43:27
  glory, the gardener said. And there is most certainly a
• 1:43:31
  scent. This place sticks.
• 1:44:21
  What the heck is that? Oh, someone took the fingers
• 1:44:25
  off. This is home school mobster
• 1:44:27
  work, or I guess horror movie black magic Nikki.
• 1:44:32
  So weary is the wanderer. Ambro, you see of tears that
• 1:47:09
  crave those limbs, that is disconcerting, a spit of solace
• 1:47:20
  for the heart. You have weird tastes, fella.
• 1:47:40
  Sweet succulents upon the vine. I'm guessing we only need one
• 1:47:46
  more. Unless this hand belongs to my
• 1:47:48
  cousin Jethro, a sovereign full specify.
• 1:48:21
  Well now got to hand it to you. Really, it's been a long.
• 1:48:29
  Must be close. This isn't a dream, not like
• 1:48:49
  before. Do you feel that daylight
• 1:48:53
  kissing the skin but not burning?
• 1:48:57
  This guy must have a heck of a mind on him.
• 1:49:00
  It's an illusion fire. Powerful one.
• 1:49:02
  Be careful. Welcome to my garden.
• 1:49:15
  You have a strange crop. I tend, I nurture, I harvest.
• 1:49:21
  My sprouts will March to dance a name.
• 1:49:24
  March Is this the War of Cain? Cain is no longer April, and yet
• 1:49:30
  I hear his trumpets. The city flowered in fire and in
• 1:49:35
  fire she will end She. I think he's talking about Lou.
• 1:49:46
  What is Lou Graham to you? The.
• 1:49:49
  Mistress the Madam, why with her love she quite transfixed me.
• 1:49:56
  Her word cold iron through my heart.
• 1:50:00
  This is the garden she built. I am merely tender in my
• 1:50:05
  bondage. You are her captive.
• 1:50:12
  I have fought your kind before Sabbath.
• 1:50:14
  What were you trying to achieve? Two arms citizens form your
• 1:50:20
  battalions, may the impure blood water our fields He is a
• 1:50:26
  lunatic, can't see him leading an army.
• 1:50:29
  Maybe, but I have heard those words before.
• 1:50:32
  Oh yes, a steal, Madame, for the Madam, and for every Prince and
• 1:50:39
  neck. You are no man of the people you
• 1:50:42
  tried to leash me. This mark, the symbol carved on
• 1:50:48
  me. What was your purpose?
• 1:50:51
  Purpose to propose, to induce, to seduce.
• 1:50:56
  It brought you here. My fire.
• 1:50:59
  My fire a consummation devoutly to be desired.
• 1:51:05
  No one chains me, creature. This ends here.
• 1:51:11
  Sabbath. You will not survive it.
• 1:51:14
  No, it is time to Sup. Dear nomad dearest Bacchanalian.
• 1:51:20
  I am fearful of juice and ripe for the harvest.
• 1:51:24
  And now my strength is yours. He wants you to drain him.
• 1:51:30
  He bound me with his mark. I will not have him puppet me
• 1:51:33
  for one moment longer. Suckled the poor Valentine and
• 1:51:39
  all marks are yours to hold. Look, the flowers are opening.
• 1:52:04
  Oh my Lord, I am leaky now. Drink, drink, vicious.
• 1:52:12
  One SOP of my nectar let me spill into you.
• 1:52:22
  No, gardener, I do not want your blood, only your end.
• 1:52:47
  It is over. The gardener, his false garden
• 1:52:51
  is gone. Let's get out of here, our
• 1:52:56
  nation. We're discovered.
• 1:53:04
  Patrol is normal, no targets detected.
• 1:53:19
  Cover you my. Legs up, we've got a.
• 1:53:21
  Tango. No side of it.
• 1:53:22
  For now. Starting in Harrods short target
• 1:53:37
  started passable. Encounter.
• 1:53:52
  Covering fire. To me.
• 1:53:58
  You're not the first, that's the last.
• 1:54:13
  Hello. Play body.
• 1:54:19
  Show yourself. Take you the shot.
• 1:54:55
  None. Help needed.
• 1:55:10
  Providing backup Please support incoming support going hand to
• 1:55:23
  hand. Come here.
• 1:55:44
  Patrol pattern Omega beta questions ready.
• 1:56:02
  Stay ready for imminent engagement.
• 1:56:37
  First side of it. For now, stay ready for imminent
• 1:56:42
  engagement. You're not the first bright.
• 1:56:49
  Body. We're the hunters.
• 1:56:58
  Tonight, blood sucker. Target could still be present.
• 1:57:21
  Stay alert. Remember to breach rank body
• 1:57:28
  incoming company. Do you feel any different for
• 1:57:46
  energized, less controlled I? Cannot tell, not yet, but the
• 1:57:54
  mark is still with me. Find another way out.
• 1:58:05
  Thirsty. Lou's lucky the IAO didn't find
• 1:58:40
  this place. It would have led them right to
• 1:58:42
  her doorstep. They know about the underground,
• 1:59:17
  they already have vampires in cages.
• 1:59:20
  Anarchs mostly, but but Tolly's losing eyes, ears.
• 1:59:24
  And not his mouth. Pity.
• 1:59:27
  Now is not the time. You speak of the hunters?
• 1:59:32
  Fire. Wonderful.
• 1:59:35
  Just in time, Sheriff Tolly filled us in on the IAO.
• 1:59:40
  He searched for base of operations.
• 1:59:41
  As we speak, Annex spinner groups are panicking and we're
• 1:59:46
  dangerously close to Masquerade breach.
• 1:59:48
  The IAO are working in daylight, hitting anywhere that even looks
• 1:59:52
  like a potential haven. We need to lay low.
• 1:59:55
  What we need is a show of strength.
• 1:59:58
  Take their leader's head, this mother hen.
• 2:00:02
  Show both them and the restless Anarchs what they're dealing
• 2:00:05
  with. The best defense is a good
• 2:00:07
  offense. You agree with me, don't you,
• 2:00:10
  Fire? What are your concerns, Sofia?
• 2:00:20
  Hunters wiped out London, Anarch and Camarilla alike provoke
• 2:00:25
  them, underestimate them, act the brands.
• 2:00:29
  The thin plants will be hit first and harvest.
• 2:00:32
  Good riddance. After them, the masperot.
• 2:00:35
  Anyone with a with a tail? Time they return to their
• 2:00:39
  sewers. And the rest of none of us will
• 2:00:42
  follow Sophia. I would know more of your
• 2:00:50
  reasoning loop. Why darling, I'm talking about
• 2:00:54
  symbols. Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler.
• 2:00:59
  Figureheads take the head off the snake and what's really
• 2:01:03
  left? The body shrivels and it's
• 2:01:05
  corpse sends a message. The vermin then scatter, and
• 2:01:09
  when they do, you pick them off at your leisure.
• 2:01:12
  One by 1. Vermin.
• 2:01:18
  You don't mean the anarchs. You assume the snake is in a
• 2:01:21
  hydra and the Anarchs can be easily intimidated.
• 2:01:26
  Because it isn't, and they can. You forget they're communists.
• 2:01:32
  We should hear what our Prince has to say on the matter.
• 2:01:35
  Ryong dear. A gun targets whatever direction
• 2:01:40
  you point it, and this is an arms race.
• 2:01:43
  We still have renegade Anarchs. We have to consider whether the
• 2:01:47
  IAO could be a valuable tool. Respectfully, Prince, this is no
• 2:01:51
  gun. The hunters, they this is
• 2:01:55
  wildfire. Once lit, you can't control the
• 2:01:58
  blaze. Well, this is a first.
• 2:02:01
  I have to say I agree with your little stooge.
• 2:02:04
  All you need is a little intimidation in the hand, after
• 2:02:10
  all, is better than a blaze in the Bush.
• 2:02:19
  In my opinion. Don't let them do this, please,
• 2:02:23
  my love. Think of the thin bloods.
• 2:02:26
  Think of Dolly. Is there a reason you brought
• 2:02:29
  your little pet, dear? This is a meeting for true
• 2:02:33
  kindred, not warlock lackeys. Let her tinker with her
• 2:02:37
  projects, I say. Keep a dog too long from its
• 2:02:40
  bone and it's liable to whine. She's here because I wanted her,
• 2:02:46
  but that's no excuse for bad manners.
• 2:02:49
  You were saying fire. I have dealt with these hunters
• 2:02:58
  personally more than once. I can do so again.
• 2:03:01
  Fire real. Our sheriff here is more than
• 2:03:06
  capable of handling this fire. Put down one thread this very
• 2:03:10
  night. And in much the same way, a
• 2:03:13
  Milkavian terrorist calling himself the Gardener, the leader
• 2:03:18
  of a Sabat cell. He found them.
• 2:03:22
  Our sheriff can deal with this IAO the same way.
• 2:03:26
  No. No, Ryong dear, give us the
• 2:03:31
  room, will you? And take your dog Fire and I
• 2:03:34
  need a little tete. A tete.
• 2:03:37
  I'll be at Weaver Tower. You did well.
• 2:03:51
  I destroyed 1 monster, yes, but there will be others, Sabbath or
• 2:03:56
  otherwise. Such is a sheriff's lot.
• 2:03:59
  Nothing the great nomad can't handle.
• 2:04:02
  I'm sure I heard him cry out the gardener, and now nothing.
• 2:04:09
  I feel less burdened, as if a steel pin has been removed.
• 2:04:15
  This is promising. More than promising.
• 2:04:18
  All thanks to you, my hero. But your trouble, child.
• 2:04:24
  Come rest your head. Tell Mama Lou what burdens you.
• 2:04:30
  I am beyond you in years and in. Strength.
• 2:04:33
  Really. Shall we just be two old souls
• 2:04:37
  together then, considering why these nights have changed so
• 2:04:41
  much? What do you have against Sophia?
• 2:04:48
  Truly, is there something I should know?
• 2:04:52
  Oil and water, dear Sophia, has always been, well, more like
• 2:04:58
  cattle than Kindred. It's like watching a circus line
• 2:05:03
  jump through hoops. I find it pitiful, wretched,
• 2:05:08
  repulsive. Not in.
• 2:05:09
  A good way, I thought the mark would be destroyed with him.
• 2:05:14
  Curious. A delayed effect perhaps?
• 2:05:18
  Or something has been left undone.
• 2:05:21
  Such as often the way. Who was the gardener to you?
• 2:05:27
  Someone who needed to be tucked. Away somewhere they could not.
• 2:05:31
  'Cause further inconvenience. But that was the past, which,
• 2:05:36
  thanks to you, is now behind us. I see no need to linger.
• 2:05:43
  Did you know what the gardener was when you imprisoned him?
• 2:05:47
  That he. Was Sabbath.
• 2:05:49
  I smoked out. The last nest back in 1889.
• 2:05:52
  At least I thought I did if he was with them.
• 2:05:55
  He was awfully quiet about it and so terribly well mannered.
• 2:06:04
  Thank you for indulging. Me.
• 2:06:07
  I have taken up enough of your time, darling.
• 2:06:10
  We were only just getting started, but I suppose you
• 2:06:14
  deserve a rest. After all, tomorrow night you
• 2:06:18
  rid us of the IAO. Cut their head off, Meet with
• 2:06:23
  Tolly. He'll put you where to go.
• 2:06:26
  I trust you will show your usual loyalty.
• 2:07:23
  The gardener's bones aren't even ashes.
• 2:07:25
  No rest for the wicked, eh? Fire.
• 2:07:28
  A little rest, given that it is almost done, yes.
• 2:07:33
  How? To handle.
• 2:07:34
  The Hunters is worth sleeping on.
• 2:07:37
  This place has certainly got louder since you came here,
• 2:07:40
  Nomad. I am not yet fully restored.
• 2:07:44
  Will you help me again? At least it's kind of fun
• 2:07:47
  knowing the legendary. Nomad needs little old me.
• 2:07:55
  I will speak to you again. My hunger.
• 2:09:07
  To sleep, perchance, not to dream.
• 2:09:10
  I guess he's gone. Didn't think I'd be here again.
• 2:09:23
  How to say it's a treat to see the sun, Fabian?
• 2:09:28
  What? Oh, fire.
• 2:09:33
  Heck. Well, hello to you too then.
• 2:09:36
  How is this still here? It's a construct, I suppose.
• 2:09:42
  Memory in your head. In our head, like we're telling
• 2:09:46
  each other a story, even after the gardener is gone.
• 2:09:51
  I wonder why he kept sending me back into those memories, those
• 2:09:55
  dreams. A tale told for an audience to
• 2:10:00
  digest. And he said she was his
• 2:10:18
  grandmother. Can you believe it?
• 2:10:20
  I was right about the buck teeth.
• 2:10:22
  His grandmother in that outfit. Heavens, my boy, it never ceases
• 2:10:31
  to. Amaze.
• 2:10:31
  Me how these? Things land at your door.
• 2:10:38
  You know the Greek thing, right? About the Fates.
• 2:10:40
  Three of them spinning all day, keeping the whole world in a
• 2:10:43
  pattern. Well, that's got to be dull,
• 2:10:45
  right? I mean, real boring.
• 2:10:47
  You've seen one human life. You've seen 100.
• 2:10:50
  If I were a Fate, I know I'd get bored, start sneaking in the odd
• 2:10:54
  cross stitch or maybe a picture of a Jack rabbit, Wouldn't you?
• 2:10:58
  I guess I can appreciate that the world is stranger than
• 2:11:02
  anyone thinks, but tell me, how do your investigations proceed?
• 2:11:09
  The killer's gone public. There was only so much time we
• 2:11:12
  could spend covering it up. Papers got hold of it.
• 2:11:15
  They're calling him the Rebar Killer.
• 2:11:18
  In my opinion, there's very little that a concerted effort
• 2:11:21
  by the Camarilla can't cover up. You think someone leaked it?
• 2:11:26
  It would not surprise me. Wonder who gets something out of
• 2:11:31
  that. Fear is a powerful thing.
• 2:11:38
  Got to say I'm stumped. We have a hunter mortal I think,
• 2:11:42
  but I'm not even sure about that.
• 2:11:45
  More than mortal. Incredibly strong, can sneak up
• 2:11:49
  on Kindred, stake them just like that as a heck of a jewelry
• 2:11:53
  supplier and access to a building yard.
• 2:11:57
  It strikes me, my boy, that this is one of your stories.
• 2:12:02
  How do you mean? A tale told for an audience to
• 2:12:05
  digest. Has anyone seen this killer?
• 2:12:09
  Does he even exist? Now that's an interesting
• 2:12:13
  thought. Don't even start that sentence,
• 2:12:17
  my boy. Right.
• 2:12:19
  Sure. Yeah.
• 2:12:22
  Well, hello, you 2. Sophia, take a seat.
• 2:12:30
  How did the experiment go with the monkey ape Fabian?
• 2:12:34
  She's a great ape. You'd be amazed, but no luck.
• 2:12:39
  Which? Is what I.
• 2:12:39
  Expected we're just going to have to try again.
• 2:12:43
  How's your night been? Anything interesting?
• 2:12:45
  Fabian was just telling me his ideas on this rebar killer as
• 2:12:49
  the public are calling him. Well that's inaccurate.
• 2:12:52
  For a start, it isn't rebar that kills them.
• 2:12:55
  Kindred are arguably. Already dead.
• 2:12:58
  If you want to be picky, you could say final death happens
• 2:13:01
  when the head. Comes off.
• 2:13:03
  As for mortals, rebar through the chest would certainly give
• 2:13:05
  them a bad few moments. But again, the head is the
• 2:13:08
  clincher, the curse of a vivid imagination.
• 2:13:12
  I can just feel it, an iron stake bursting.
• 2:13:15
  Out of me or that crack. As my head comes off makes me
• 2:13:20
  shiver. Let's talk about something else.
• 2:13:28
  I'll be honest. I'm not sure what to do without
• 2:13:30
  the boss. I can understand that this is a
• 2:13:33
  difficult task for you alone. What task to maintain the
• 2:13:38
  masquerade? This city grows so fast and I
• 2:13:42
  worry. Technology will outstrip.
• 2:13:43
  Us all it will not be easy Oh well, we'll help where we can we
• 2:13:50
  have to you protecting our. Existence, Fabian.
• 2:14:00
  How is the court handling Rosalind's death?
• 2:14:03
  Lou is devastated, of course. Genuinely.
• 2:14:06
  Well, even I can't tell that. But remember.
• 2:14:09
  This has hit her in the pocket as much as the heart.
• 2:14:13
  Rosalind was the brains. She had all the court's dealings
• 2:14:16
  at her fingertips, and this is a blow.
• 2:14:19
  I'm helping where I can, but Lou does not like me.
• 2:14:23
  It makes things difficult. Given all that's happened, what
• 2:14:27
  are you doing now? At the moment, the Prince has.
• 2:14:30
  Me looking into the formulation of her liquor substitutes,
• 2:14:34
  seeing if I can find a way to. Enhance them or make them more
• 2:14:37
  addictive. Chemistry or blood alchemy.
• 2:14:40
  She doesn't care which more bang for her buck.
• 2:14:44
  I get it. I have a space in the basement
• 2:14:46
  at the glacier. It is not the most ideal for.
• 2:14:48
  Study. Isaac's a loss, right?
• 2:14:54
  Big time. He was the way Rosalind and Lou
• 2:14:57
  kept tabs on Seattle and kept tabs on their tabs in the gin
• 2:15:02
  joints at cat houses. There's no doubt this will be a
• 2:15:06
  set back, but the city has seen worse, as has Lou.
• 2:15:10
  At least it didn't burn down this time.
• 2:15:13
  My apologies. There's something I want to
• 2:15:16
  check on. I'll I'll take my leave is.
• 2:15:20
  There a problem. Not at all.
• 2:15:22
  I've just realized I have something I want to ask of our.
• 2:15:26
  Esteemed Prince. About the Art of.
• 2:15:29
  Storytelling and the Invention of the mythic.
• 2:15:32
  Good night, Sophia Fabian. Mind you.
• 2:15:34
  Take care of her. I will.
• 2:15:43
  I'll see you both later. We never really get the chance
• 2:15:52
  to talk, do we? You've heard of the Super
• 2:15:56
  Sargasso? Sea, right?
• 2:16:00
  Never read Charles Fort, I'll lend you a book.
• 2:16:03
  He says that so many things. Disappear from our.
• 2:16:06
  World, people, creatures, ships, you know that there's somewhere
• 2:16:10
  they have to go to. I'd like to say that night was
• 2:16:14
  the last time we both saw him, but that's not true, is it?
• 2:16:33
  There it was all along, and I knew it, and I didn't know I
• 2:16:39
  knew Gideon was the gardener. Oh yes, that is clear, isn't it?
• 2:16:45
  We never did find his body, but. We did close the case.
• 2:16:50
  Luke called him a minor irritant, an historical Hate to
• 2:16:55
  tell you this sweetness, but your beauty.
• 2:16:56
  Sleep has had zero effect. What, I'm just wasted on?
• 2:17:03
  You aren't. I hope you're feeling.
• 2:17:05
  Hungry with a side order of homicidal because.
• 2:17:08
  You got a dinner. Date with some tasty, tasty
• 2:17:11
  hunters. You know Silky's Bar?
• 2:17:13
  Go down the alley opposite Bingo Castle Fuckenstein.
• 2:17:18
  They've got a mast up on a building nearby.
• 2:17:20
  Best take it out first so no one can squeal.
• 2:17:24
  But I've talked to Ryong and we agree the cleanest trick is to
• 2:17:27
  get in and trash all their Seattle Intel.
• 2:17:30
  Or as I call it, do unto them what some Jackass did unto
• 2:17:34
  Willem. I know Lou wants their mother
• 2:17:37
  hen pulped, but that'll put the shit among the pigeons.
• 2:17:40
  If you meet her, be careful. We don't want them pissed enough
• 2:17:44
  to bring in a whole flock of mother cluckers.
• 2:17:47
  This is important fire. The IAO are not a joke.
• 2:17:51
  Take her down to peg, don't take her out.
• 2:17:59
  I will deal with the records. And their leader tell her a big
• 2:18:04
  fuck you from me too. Take down the communication
• 2:18:18
  tower, then sneak in like stealing cheese from a
• 2:18:22
  mousetrap. Mind you, after all we've been
• 2:18:24
  through, I think we can handle this.
• 2:18:58
  How massive The air is a big let's take it down.
• 2:19:34
  No way now to scream for help from their buddies.
• 2:19:36
  We can. Take a crack at their base.
• 2:19:37
  You seem to turn up at all the wrong places.
• 2:19:44
  Mother hen Agent Latoya Baker the.

  unknown hostel. None.
• 2:44:38
  Hi, this is perhaps it's time we met face to face.
• 2:44:53
  Your heart is racing. Most would have started to run.
• 2:44:57
  Neither fight nor flight would be useful right now.
• 2:45:01
  Are you ready to negotiate? A hunter who wishes to negotiate
• 2:45:07
  with Kindred. This is business.
• 2:45:11
  I want to make a deal. I'll tell.
• 2:45:13
  You what we have on your kind and I get what I.
• 2:45:16
  Want in return her heartbeat. Not just.
• 2:45:20
  Fast but skipping and there's a vinegar smell.
• 2:45:25
  Her blood. You are dying.
• 2:45:28
  Six weeks, 8 if I'm lucky. You want me to save you?
• 2:45:35
  By making. You like me?
• 2:45:37
  Interesting. Do we have a bargain?
• 2:45:40
  You are not in a strong position here.
• 2:45:43
  Answers 1st very well. I want to know what the IAO
• 2:45:51
  believe about us our. Regulars know the basics.
• 2:45:55
  Garlic and holy water are myths. Juries out on stakes and
• 2:45:58
  crucifixes. You crisp up real well with fire
• 2:46:02
  or sunlight. However, I know that sickness or
• 2:46:06
  old age. Won't kill.
• 2:46:08
  You there is no way around death, only through it.
• 2:46:15
  I need names. Who are you targeting in Seattle
• 2:46:19
  other than? Max 1 Strong lead.
• 2:46:23
  A meeting between two potentials outside the city.
• 2:46:26
  Seemed to be making a trade. But I could only get a.
• 2:46:29
  Visual the meeting you recorded. I want to see it.
• 2:46:36
  That's Katsumi. But who's her Paramore?
• 2:46:41
  We're out of time, I. Gave you answers.
• 2:46:45
  You made your decision by embracing you without
• 2:46:48
  permission. I risk.
• 2:46:49
  Us both then I'll lie low and I can help I.
• 2:46:54
  Know the hunters, I'll throw them off the set.
• 2:46:57
  The IAO is a weapon perhaps, but if Lou finds out?
• 2:47:05
  Clan Toriador is for true esthetes and lovers of beauty.
• 2:47:10
  You will have a steep learning curve.
• 2:47:12
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 2:47:15
  Do not thank me yet. I am no nursemaid.
• 2:47:18
  You will have to survive. On your own, I understand.
• 2:47:23
  I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, your God will not.
• 2:47:28
  Follow you here Oh. God.
• 2:47:58
  Can't say I was expecting to walk away from this mess with a
• 2:48:00
  little baby vampire under our wing.
• 2:48:03
  Our next problem? You just embraced someone
• 2:48:05
  without the Prince's permission. Can't imagine Lou will be best
• 2:48:09
  pleased either. If I were you, I'd say as little
• 2:48:12
  as possible. Sheriff, you should have no
• 2:50:13
  further problems from. Agent Baker.
• 2:50:15
  Pluck the hen, huh? Let's hope she didn't lay too
• 2:50:18
  many eggs. Indeed, you made a choice.
• 2:50:23
  Let's see what it brings us now we only.
• 2:50:27
  No, no, There's something else, something you're not saying.
• 2:50:32
  Speak Katsumi has had meetings with the Contact outside of
• 2:50:39
  Seattle. A vampire.
• 2:50:41
  The IO seem to think the individual was of.
• 2:50:44
  Special interest to their hunt. That's A and the marks effect.
• 2:50:50
  It still hasn't stopped. No.
• 2:50:53
  Then we can't rule. Anything out?
• 2:50:55
  It could be Katsumi's part of. The Sabat, after all, Tolley
• 2:50:59
  look into. It see what you.
• 2:51:00
  Can Learn put it on my list to get into.
• 2:51:03
  Right behind clone Ryong's faithful and fabulous Butler.
• 2:51:07
  But I'm still smelling something.
• 2:51:09
  Come on fire, you got a bad poker face.
• 2:51:19
  What I told you just. Now about Agent Baker, it was
• 2:51:24
  not the full truth, this. Is going to be good.
• 2:51:29
  I did not kill Agent Baker. I embraced her.
• 2:51:33
  What? I had no other option.
• 2:51:37
  Right, OK, sorry Powerpuff you. Fucking what, Tolly?
• 2:51:43
  I will. Hear the sheriff's reasons.
• 2:51:48
  It is. As you said, in the right hands
• 2:51:51
  the IAO can be a tool. So I grasped it by the handle
• 2:51:56
  so. You listened.
• 2:51:57
  Lou won't be pleased. Of course.
• 2:52:00
  Where's the child now? I do not know.
• 2:52:04
  Then see that you find out I'll. Postpone my verdict until.
• 2:52:08
  You do. Hold up there Hun, you're
• 2:52:10
  letting this. Slide embracing without
• 2:52:13
  permission is what I said I'd postpone.
• 2:52:17
  My verdict? Not withdraw it, but for the
• 2:52:20
  sake of conversation we should press on.
• 2:52:22
  What else do you have to tell? Me, Sheriff, I have left nothing
• 2:52:26
  unsaid, but you should know this.
• 2:52:29
  The hunters have been tracking finbots.
• 2:52:32
  It may be they were planning a raid on the Anarchs then I was
• 2:52:36
  right. If they could be redirected,
• 2:52:39
  perhaps you could see some useful targets to your child.
• 2:52:43
  If she still has the means to control them, she could be
• 2:52:46
  extremely useful. Fire.
• 2:52:48
  I'll forgive your lack of protocol.
• 2:52:50
  Oh come on now we just need to find her.
• 2:52:55
  There's going to be clean up to do, but the immediate.
• 2:52:58
  Threat is over. Meet me at Macom.
• 2:53:01
  Later, we'll discuss our next move.
• 2:53:04
  Oh, and if we're booking appointments, you should check
• 2:53:07
  in with Lou. She was asking after you.
• 2:53:15
  That went better than I expected.
• 2:53:17
  Unburdening yourself of a secret pays off after all.
• 2:53:42
  My love, I mean fire. I wanted to find you.
• 2:53:46
  I forgive me. I you.
• 2:53:51
  Have learned something? I think so.
• 2:53:57
  You still have. The mark.
• 2:54:00
  The man you mentioned, the gardener he is.
• 2:54:05
  Truly gone. I mean you are sure he wanted me
• 2:54:13
  to drain him to perform diableri?
• 2:54:16
  I refused naturally and gave him a quick death.
• 2:54:20
  I. See Why do you ask the mark?
• 2:54:26
  I found the match. It.
• 2:54:28
  Indicates. A binding ritual.
• 2:54:31
  Thaumatergy complex. Skilled even.
• 2:54:35
  I'm so sorry Fire. You are bound, signed and
• 2:54:42
  sealed. Some might even say indentured.
• 2:54:45
  Someone has claimed you and they still exist or the mark would be
• 2:54:51
  gone. So it can't be your gardener.
• 2:54:54
  I. Don't know who or why or how to
• 2:54:58
  break the bond. Not yet, at least.
• 2:55:02
  But I. Will, I'm so close now give me
• 2:55:06
  tonight. Let's meet.
• 2:55:08
  Back at wake the bed. Tomorrow, when you're free to,
• 2:55:12
  of course. If it is not the gardener, who
• 2:55:18
  do you suspect? Sophia.
• 2:55:21
  Me. Oh well.
• 2:55:24
  I know Lou blames everything on the thin bloods.
• 2:55:28
  And I can see links. If I'm entirely honest, they are
• 2:55:32
  known to experiment alchemy tomatergy.
• 2:55:36
  But I mean, it's a convenient scapegoat, don't you think?
• 2:55:42
  Isabella was no Anarch and Benny.
• 2:55:44
  Hated them so. So why?
• 2:55:49
  What do you think? Need I ask what you truly think
• 2:55:57
  of Lou? Herself, I think no vampire
• 2:56:00
  abdicates the Princeton out of the kindness of their heart.
• 2:56:04
  Forgive me. That was out of turn.
• 2:56:07
  I I mean, she's been. Up in that penthouse.
• 2:56:12
  For. Well. 40 years or more.
• 2:56:16
  But do you suspect her, Lou? Now if anyone were to chain
• 2:56:20
  people then perhaps, but I'd. Question why she needed.
• 2:56:24
  You. As convenient a scapegoat as
• 2:56:31
  they may be, we should not. Rule out the Anarchs.
• 2:56:34
  It makes sense, it just. Disappoints me I suppose.
• 2:56:45
  Why would? Tolly bind an elder.
• 2:56:48
  I can't see a reason for it. He has as much power as he.
• 2:56:52
  Needs really. Perhaps I shouldn't turn a blind
• 2:56:56
  eye so selectively. How unscientific of me.
• 2:57:01
  But. Tolly has been kind.
• 2:57:03
  In his way I see wounds in him beneath the calluses.
• 2:57:11
  Baker. Showed me evidence.
• 2:57:13
  Of Katsumi meeting someone, I do not yet know who you think?
• 2:57:17
  They could be. It might.
• 2:57:19
  Explain the thin blood link. And perhaps Katsumi is not their
• 2:57:23
  only contact in Seattle. Who can know if they also met?
• 2:57:26
  With Benny, Isabella, Willem, maybe even the gardener.
• 2:57:39
  We should at least consider Ryong, but why?
• 2:57:43
  Why would she sabotage her own rule?
• 2:57:46
  She. Has all event you could want.
• 2:57:48
  I have learned never to be. Too trusting, I wonder, a
• 2:57:53
  Tremere researcher might stumble across much in her.
• 2:57:56
  Investigations such as a. Ritual to bind an.
• 2:57:59
  Elder, you. You're serious?
• 2:58:04
  You're really serious? It seems unlikely, but we.
• 2:58:07
  Must entertain all options, speculating any.
• 2:58:11
  Further. Is futile.
• 2:58:13
  I suppose it is. What else can you tell?
• 2:58:18
  Me about the ritual do you know of?
• 2:58:20
  Goratrix of Klan Premier. He was a follower of the Sabbat.
• 2:58:25
  This mark the ritual. It is based on his work, the
• 2:58:30
  texts you found. For me they are a translation of
• 2:58:33
  his methods. I am struggling.
• 2:58:35
  With a key. But I am nearly there.
• 2:58:38
  One more night, I promise. The gardener.
• 2:58:43
  Had you heard that name before? It sounds almost biblical like.
• 2:58:49
  Eden or or Gethsemane? Where Jesus was entombed.
• 2:58:55
  I can look into it if you like. I suppose it is of little
• 2:58:58
  consequence now, if I am honest. I am looking for reasons to
• 2:59:07
  linger. With you, Sophia, With me.
• 2:59:12
  And you think I'm a traitor? No, I'm sorry.
• 2:59:16
  I have work to do. Until tomorrow night, my sorry.
• 2:59:39
  I've been thinking it was Lou who had a problem with Gideon,
• 2:59:43
  with Gardner. She was the last person I
• 2:59:45
  remember him going to see. Now we know it was her who made
• 2:59:49
  him disappear. What if she is behind all these
• 2:59:52
  killings? I mean it's the obvious
• 2:59:54
  conclusion. If Lou took out Gideon, well,
• 2:59:57
  how could I not have seen this before?
• 2:59:59
  And Lou the rebar killer? Or I'm missing something?
• 3:00:59
  Regular as clockwork. Guess something's still pulling
• 3:01:02
  in like Gray matter, even without Gideon fire you there I
• 3:01:07
  am. The case was shelved.
• 3:01:10
  Gideon's disappearance, we thought it was the rebar killer.
• 3:01:14
  There was. Nothing else to be done.
• 3:01:17
  So I thought I remember that much.
• 3:01:20
  But it was Lou. She buried him under the ground
• 3:01:23
  with iron through his heart. Does that mean she's always been
• 3:01:26
  the killer? You are the detective.
• 3:01:28
  You tell me. And how did he become part of
• 3:01:31
  the Sabbath? It was Lou's fault.
• 3:01:34
  How could I not know? It was Lou's fault.
• 3:01:48
  How could I not know that? It's been so many years.
• 3:01:52
  You said it was shelved. What's changed?
• 3:01:55
  These new killings? Maybe.
• 3:01:57
  A copycat? Maybe not, but they've put a
• 3:02:00
  tickle in my skull. I can't stop thinking.
• 3:02:02
  About that night, the last time we saw him, he said he had to
• 3:02:06
  ask Lou something about stories. Don't you remember?
• 3:02:11
  I remember. But if you're right, what can we
• 3:02:15
  do about it? Who would believe you?
• 3:02:21
  You're right, we got to find evidence, but how I do?
• 3:02:25
  Have an idea? Lou has a habit of keeping
• 3:02:28
  trophies. What, like Tyrant of the Year
• 3:02:36
  trophies? Engraved with her name and
• 3:02:38
  presented with a pin badge saying I'm number one.
• 3:02:42
  No like mementos. That's what I said.
• 3:02:46
  The point is that I know where she keeps.
• 3:02:49
  Them remember all those years? Back I used.
• 3:02:54
  To have a lab. In the basement of the glacier.
• 3:02:57
  Oh, skeletons in her closet. She uses it for storage now.
• 3:03:03
  I doubt anyone else has. Been down there for years.
• 3:03:06
  There might be. Something there?
• 3:03:08
  You'd need to find a way in and maybe Jimmy the elevator or
• 3:03:13
  something. That does seem worth a.
• 3:03:15
  Try. Although they're not a big fan
• 3:03:17
  of me over at the glacier since. I broke seven of their mirrors
• 3:03:23
  in my experiment, which might explain why I keep losing at
• 3:03:26
  roulette. Fabian, You told me once you'd
• 3:03:29
  given up on Gideon's death that there was nothing you could do.
• 3:03:34
  It's the. Curse of being a detective, Miss
• 3:03:35
  Sophia. Like a dog with a bone, Some
• 3:03:38
  bones we only dig up when we remember where we buried them.
• 3:03:47
  She might turn me over to the glacier, I suppose.
• 3:03:49
  A mic too close to Her Majesty for my liking.
• 3:04:07
  Goon on the door. Let me stop you there, buddy.
• 3:04:10
  Private party. Nothing for you tonight.
• 3:04:13
  I have an invite. None of that's my friend.
• 3:04:16
  I know all the. Tricks, then I commend your
• 3:04:19
  attention to duty, and I wish you good night.
• 3:04:22
  Truth. Be told I never felt at ease in
• 3:04:24
  the glacier. Guess the feeling was mutual.
• 3:04:33
  Evening ma'am. Wonderful to see you.
• 3:04:35
  How was today's shoot the. Suspect deserved it and I'll
• 3:04:42
  stick. To that in court.
• 3:04:45
  What I'm In any case, I'm afraid that's fine.
• 3:04:53
  Evening, ma'am. Wonderful to see you.
• 3:04:55
  How was today's shoot? 6 black tailed deer I do like to
• 3:05:04
  get. Out in nature.
• 3:05:06
  That's I, in any case, I don't worry.
• 3:05:11
  You're not the first to me. Evening, ma'am.
• 3:05:17
  Wonderful. Oh such a great day darling. 7
• 3:05:23
  scenes in the can. Wonderful, ma'am.
• 3:05:26
  It must be such a grueling schedule.
• 3:05:28
  If I might ask, how do you stay in shape?
• 3:05:34
  Did you need those teeth, fella? What?
• 3:05:37
  I'm sorry in any kick go I'm. But as I've said, evening,
• 3:05:47
  ma'am. Wonderful 1.
• 3:05:54
  I am not answering. That I'm so sorry for.
• 3:05:58
  Overstepping my. Bounds, welcome back to the
• 3:06:01
  Glacier Man, and may I say I am such a fan of your movies.
• 3:06:07
  Always happy to meet a. Fan, even if they are a Dick,
• 3:06:11
  please enjoy your evening. Oh, I will.
• 3:06:16
  You'd think that a card carrying member of the undead would.
• 3:06:19
  Be able to. Get into swanky parties more
• 3:06:20
  often. Maybe I needed to get me.
• 3:06:23
  An opera. Cape.
• 3:06:25
  Anyhow, time to visit the basement.
• 3:06:27
  Uh oh, Tolly. Now, why is Seattle's finest
• 3:06:32
  patronizing the Glacier Hotel? Let me guess, a murder?
• 3:06:37
  A public health. Violation or just my unpaid
• 3:06:40
  parking fines? I think Lou's killed someone.
• 3:06:51
  I need to find evidence. You're telling me that Lou
• 3:06:54
  Graham has killed someone? The shock, the horror.
• 3:07:00
  Can I just get? Past please.
• 3:07:02
  Lou's busy whether you need. Clues.
• 3:07:04
  Or not. I might be persuadable, but.
• 3:07:07
  Police require access has never been enough for.
• 3:07:09
  Me, I could owe you a favor. Let's indulge in a little mutual
• 3:07:16
  scratching of backs here, Detective.
• 3:07:18
  You want your clue? I want some investigating done
• 3:07:21
  an. Investigation, huh?
• 3:07:24
  Investigating what? You know me, always interested
• 3:07:28
  in the gossip. I've heard some things and I
• 3:07:30
  want to hear more. Patience is working on.
• 3:07:33
  Something very special. I want to know what?
• 3:07:37
  I want to know why it is that Silky leaves town every few
• 3:07:40
  weeks. And I really want to know about
• 3:07:43
  our newest recruit, Anda. She cut a deal to be let in.
• 3:07:47
  I want the skinny on it. I'll see what I can do.
• 3:07:55
  Don't be any stranger. Going on a mighty.
• 3:08:03
  Anda had made a request. To placate, the guardian of the
• 3:08:06
  elevator doors hadn't been in my diary when I woke up.
• 3:08:10
  Trouble was, Tolly was mighty stubborn.
• 3:08:13
  Besides, some of his requests were kind of interesting, and
• 3:08:17
  it's not like I didn't have the time.
• 3:08:51
  I was becoming a regular visitor to Saint Stephen's and nobody
• 3:08:54
  had smited me so far. What do you want?
• 3:09:01
  This your place now? Sure.
• 3:09:03
  I guess. Since Father.
• 3:09:05
  McMillan passed on. I'm sure some official will
• 3:09:08
  notice and shut it down, but for now someone has to.
• 3:09:11
  Keep the lights burning about Misty.
• 3:09:15
  What about her? Thanks for looking out for her.
• 3:09:20
  She was in a bad way. Still is.
• 3:09:23
  Wherever she is, I guess she's moved on.
• 3:09:27
  Sometimes I think I. Hear her.
• 3:09:29
  Or catch a shadow of her. She's out there in the city
• 3:09:32
  somewhere trying to keep that child safe.
• 3:09:35
  You know, it'll never be born. Those two will be together
• 3:09:39
  forever. Yeah, you know, I'll see you
• 3:09:43
  later. Interesting.
• 3:09:57
  This hadn't been used in a while.
• 3:09:59
  Come to think of it, I hadn't heard the bells for a long time.
• 3:10:03
  Out of services. Well, well, yeah, I wasn't.
• 3:10:13
  Well. Hello there, Mr. Pointy.
• 3:10:16
  Got to say, I am not accustomed to talking to cutlery.
• 3:10:22
  Cutlery. I was meant to take a life, not
• 3:10:25
  to butter bread. OK, OK.
• 3:10:29
  I get it. I'm sorry.
• 3:10:33
  Do you have an owner? Not an owner, but a partner who
• 3:10:41
  wields me. In our assignations together, we
• 3:10:44
  have slain many. I was kind of hoping for a name.
• 3:10:49
  There is a scent associated with me, Is there not?
• 3:10:53
  An aromatic fragrance like Jasmine with just a touch of
• 3:10:56
  Meltitalo? It is not unfamiliar.
• 3:11:02
  You're right there. That's under.
• 3:11:05
  Not a surprise. Wonder why she's not carrying
• 3:11:08
  you. So have you killed lots of
• 3:11:14
  people? Look at me detective.
• 3:11:17
  Well honed, steep, well sharpened, polished oil.
• 3:11:21
  The stains around the hill are my marks of glory.
• 3:11:25
  When I sink into an opponent I bite deep.
• 3:11:29
  They will Remember Me for the rest of their life, which is
• 3:11:33
  presumably pretty short. So what has under used you for
• 3:11:39
  recently? Parting flesh, Detective?
• 3:11:42
  The cutting of mortal meat and the severing of bone.
• 3:11:46
  I am no cheese knife. I can smell that blood.
• 3:11:52
  And recent too. But there's something more here,
• 3:11:55
  isn't there? Guilt.
• 3:11:57
  You reek of it. I need to concentrate.
• 3:12:02
  Why do I sense guilt, my wicked little friend?
• 3:12:06
  It is so strong. A blade cuts.
• 3:12:09
  A blade makes no judgement but the Winder.
• 3:12:13
  This is deep, deeper than my guesswork.
• 3:12:17
  I can almost see. I bite down through skin,
• 3:12:21
  through flesh, through thin and brittle bone.
• 3:12:24
  I settled a cry of agony. Stop, sport Crimson as two
• 3:12:29
  fingers roll loose onto the tabletop.
• 3:12:32
  Twice more. Bye bye.
• 3:12:34
  The joints crack and digits fall away, white and scarlet.
• 3:12:39
  Ruined, irreparable. Our victim sobs in pain and
• 3:12:44
  fear, bleeding with his Lady Maria for an end to the
• 3:12:48
  suffering. I am raised to strike again.
• 3:12:53
  Oh, that was something. A vision worthy of Gideon.
• 3:13:01
  Lady. Maria, he's pleading to Holy
• 3:13:04
  Mary on the kill the priest. I am a knife.
• 3:13:09
  I cannot answer that, but that does fit what?
• 3:13:13
  You sense detective. That was her price for joining
• 3:13:16
  the Camarilla. Lou never did get along with the
• 3:13:19
  clergy. I'll bet anything she was behind
• 3:13:21
  this. Thanks Mr. Pointy, may you never
• 3:13:25
  get rusty. Was that all there was to it?
• 3:13:29
  I had a feeling there was something else, but this was
• 3:13:32
  probably enough for Tolly. So the priest didn't die after
• 3:13:50
  all. Now that was interesting.
