0:28
what are you doing no I found something great was it alcohol god no i just got
0:34
the wind knocked out of me i think I know how to break the contract with the dark man what exactly does that mean
0:41
everything going back to normal uh all right uh I found some more information
0:46
on Detto and the patients there are some seriously strange things going on here
0:51
i'm pretty sure two of the patients are dead and maybe even the clerk oh yeah i kind of just gave up on worrying about
0:57
that well just keep your eyes open I suppose what were you doing again jeremy made a
1:04
pact with the dark man to keep all the madness locked inside Detto all right I'm going to break it i just
1:10
have Where is it where's the talisman it's around your neck
1:18
i worry detective don't i'm fine i worry that you're not much help on this case
1:25
at least you're a good distraction trust me you're getting your money's
1:30
worth at this rate I'm an absolute bargain
1:49
he must first acknowledge psychological trauma in order to proceed the lying
1:54
must stop so we can break through the barriers of selfdeceit fine
2:21
just what this evening needed some ambiance
2:41
got to be around here somewhere he wouldn't leave this house i don't know what to think anymore you running into
2:48
that detective fella who is he can he be trusted i think he one of the good guys
2:53
or you know like us will he be all right with her coming praise the mother
3:01
he don't even know about all that let go
3:08
just calm down it ain't time yet god it hurts as far as I can tell Detective Comi
3:14
seems to be solving problems not causing them just be ready in case he starts
4:09
christ what the hell was that
4:33
we must have faith that Jeremy's pact with the dark man is a bluff if we are
4:39
lucky our visitors will find him and prove it's all nonsense before nightfalls what is true is our attempt
4:47
to call on her too many things have happened for this evening to be in vain
4:52
think of Jack and Cassandra even Perosi whose circumstances I can't understand
5:00
grace is a goat without horns she knows it and will play the role you must talk
5:06
to your brother Batiste i worry that he will fail us mrs thompson
5:27
emily will have to die can't let him ruin our plans
5:33
i think Dr gray might be in there perfect time to snoop around his office though he knows this place i don't want
5:39
to run into the orderly right now not sure I can trust them
6:00
lunacy and the Estarte artist colony a monograph by Yel Klene in early 1909 the
6:08
old Deretto plantation outside of New Orleans was turned into an artist's
6:14
colony three famous European artists rented the house and the surrounding
6:19
land from the owner the Leoo family the colony was chiefly run by Sebastian
6:26
Cortez who was playfully dubbed the captain by his collaborators William Argus and Hinrich Castle the colony
6:34
existed for 6 years until one day all 12 members disappeared without a trace it
6:41
is widely believed that their disappearance is connected to the disastrous hurricane that passed through
6:47
on September 29 1915 but nothing truly supports this claim what is known is
6:54
their frequent participation in New Orleans nightife their love for hosting parties and their elaborate
7:01
contributions to the Mardigra parades as the pirates of Ponchartin
7:06
accounts of their lifestyle can be found in almost every gossip column it can effectively be summed up as care-free
7:13
and bohemian in late June 1909 the name Astarte first
7:19
appeared in the newspapers cortez said the name came to him as he was painting
7:25
there is never any claim to knowing about the ancient Phoenician fertility goddess with the same name before this
7:32
time his fellow colonist Henrik Castle did know because he later produced
7:37
sculptures that show clear references to ancient idols of the goddess
7:42
it's impossible to know for sure how this name suddenly made an appearance but it is interesting because of
7:55
even the name Deretto is the Greek name of a Syrian fertility goddess in the
8:01
case of naming the plantation Derettto was certainly not an accident we know
8:07
that Eliah Pigford intended to build a temple for his cult for he had distributed pamphlets two years prior to
8:14
the purchase of the land advertising his intentions his followers were estimated to be
8:20
almost a hundred men and women mostly sailors maroons and cinjun when the
8:25
plantation was built to outsiders Detto registered as an ordinary slave
8:30
plantation which enabled Pigford and his flock to remain hidden for decades the
8:36
official story is that the cult lasted until 1862 when the Union army came and
8:42
burned down the plantation and scattered all who lived there following the Civil
8:47
War new people started to congregate in the ruins of Duretto to invent a new
8:52
fertility goddess the Shoub Nigarath as much as Darto is a particular name to
8:59
have heard of it's not entirely uncommon among the learned aarte is equally known
9:04
and could have been subconsciously chosen by well- read artists shou Nigarath is on the other hand very
9:11
uncommon almost impossible that anyone in Louisiana would have heard that name
9:17
the name is referenced only in rare books like unnikin kulin and the
9:22
necronomicon and is believed to be a bastardization of Arabic words meaning
9:28
pertaining to the dark young the few paragraphs printed on the goddess are so
9:34
upsetting that no one in their right mind would want to build a religion resting on such qualities the shube
9:40
niggarath cult was hard to get rid of but it is believed that despite the police jailing and killing several
9:47
cultists over the years the main culprit in the cult's demise is the cult itself
9:53
which seems to line up with every instance of cult activity on Detto's grounds when Captain JW Norton of the
10:00
Union Army arrived he described the people at Detto as malnourished and maniacal
10:07
as much as the army tried to save them they fought back with fervor as if
10:12
nothing was going to stop them from slowly destroying themselves while the disappearance of the Astarte artist
10:19
colony remains a mystery the recurring motif seems to suggest that their fate
10:24
involved lunacy and a hunger for self-sacrifice to that fertility goddess
10:30
with a thousand names
11:10
mrs thompson I understand the last week has been busy under these circumstances
11:16
I find it important to remind you that Detto's concerns are not a public matter
11:22
nor is it something that should upset you please continue your excellent work and don't spend a thought on the death
11:28
of Perosi or more importantly the suicide of Cassandra Borugard they
11:34
should mean nothing to you or the staff i rely on your loyalty and trust that
11:40
your close kinship with the Tabois siblings will keep Detto's secrets hidden dr gray
12:48
there must be a spare key to Dr gray's office in here somewhere
13:32
i can't leave i got a job to do
14:02
detective Comi I'm terribly sorry that my niece has pulled you into this mess
14:07
please with all my blessings take her away from this cursed place i have
14:13
destroyed that Eater of Worlds and locked it away in the attic and retreated to a place of hiding tell
14:19
Emily I'm safe tell her all the lies you can think of to make her listen take her
14:25
back to Norland sincerely Jeremy
14:53
brother I need you to trust me this is the most important moment in our family's history i know you have doubts
15:00
and that the terrible Mama Loa told you lies i would never betray you i promise
16:45
detective Ki good to see you again solved the case yet
16:51
i'm trying hey Grace you okay oh she is just peachy detective are you
17:00
looking forward to the feast of St john Grace I can't wait kids ain't it great
17:08
what exactly are you planning for tonight oh not much we eat we drink we pay
17:15
tribute to the wishing tree in the conservatory the usual
17:20
then why all the excitement there is just something about tonight
17:26
something's different i think we all feel it besides we got ourselves some
17:32
new words for the prayer thanks to your buddy Jeremy she'll come and turn the world inside
17:38
out and things will begin again that sounds strangely threatening you
17:51
oh god damn it Grace stay put for once
18:08
i better hold on to these wouldn't want them to get lost
19:48
surprisingly neat maybe I've been selling that old barfly short
20:02
sometimes I think this place makes me worse that Deetto might be my grave a coffin made
20:11
of ostentatious architecture a Taj Mahal for the drunken deep wrist
20:18
there's something about Detto something about Dr gray like we all pretend that
20:24
we're here to get better when in fact we are here to be forgotten
20:40
looks like McCarthy has something hidden inside
21:31
this is my room i belong here
21:44
i know that number where's that from i did this
21:50
i wrote that i know the combination i carry it with
22:31
all right time to get Jeremy out of that contract so we can get the hell out of here something tells me I'm going to
22:36
have to put my talisman to use
23:03
detective I have made many discoveries in my case the child we want is safe
23:11
thanks to good people like me and you we're so similar but you don't see all
23:18
the things I do to find your man Jeremy you also need to look for the girl it
23:25
has always been that way the young deliver us all you should have a look in
23:31
my room there's a piece of the puzzle you will need take care now my coffee
23:45
how long have I been here
24:14
looks like McCarthy has something hidden inside
24:25
why would McCarthy lock this up was he trying to keep Grace from completing the shape if so couldn't she have just made
24:32
another drawing what the hell happened in here
27:16
this looks familiar how am I back at the office jeremy's never been here
27:39
how long had it been since I drowned myself in drink and depression it had all felt so peaceful slipping away into
27:46
oblivion a welcoming dark voice wrapped around my mind like a heavy blanket it turned off
27:52
suddenly as I woke up from the sound of my office door closing shut a messenger had left a telegram from Mrs saunders
28:00
she had a lead on where to find her husband and her kidnapped daughter
28:13
god I used to drink so much back then when was this exactly what case was I
28:38
[Music] i remember this case some kid got taken
28:45
by her father headed out of state but he had made a mistake by selling a painting that his wife actually cared about to a
28:51
collector named Thornhill to fund his venture that's how I tracked him down at least I think so
29:41
thornhill wasn't a bad man but he had principles keeping him from handing out information on his fields so he needed
29:54
well every case can't be squeaky clean
30:19
mr saunders had sold a valuable painting to Thornhead hoping the money would carry him to wherever he was going the
30:25
painting now leaning on an easel in Thornhill's bedroom had a certain mesmerizing gloom that seemed to call
30:32
out to me telling me I was needed for something important i felt myself
30:38
falling into the painting only being brought back by Thornhill thrusting an
30:43
address to a hotel St george into my hand and asking me to get the hell out
30:53
i don't remember this at all but I can't say it didn't happen
32:21
[Music] i'm running out of bullets
35:08
on my way to the hotel the more gang caught up i owed them money a lot of it
35:14
i can't remember what for probably some dumb gambling debt growing in size for each payment missed i punched one of
35:20
them out i sent the others packing a stupid back
37:11
i found it in the hotel ledger i recognized the handwriting of the signature Ted Striker it was him i could
37:18
feel it it was the kidnapper I was hunting i put on my knuckles and hurried up to his room
37:30
something about that name Ted Striker rings a bell feels vaguely familiar
37:56
i recognize this room but I didn't catch up with them here i must have followed them but where
38:48
that's right he was running away ditching his old life and marriage in New Orleans to find something better in Tallahassee and he took his daughter
38:55
with him against the will of the mother that's why she hired me but I stopped him i caught up with him at the Pearl
39:01
River Bridge pearl River this is where I caught up
39:09
with them this is what the dark man wanted me to revisit but I'm still not
39:14
seeing it what am I forgetting
41:15
[Music] oh no was her all along
41:36
i can't believe I didn't recognize you i looked a little different back then I suppose
41:42
is any of this real how do you mean this day just
41:48
so much is happening i can't I think I've lost my head
41:59
do you need me to apologize i mean
42:08
I am sorry i don't think I can even begin to
42:13
explain you You're just a kid Grace i'm really sorry i didn't mean for it to happen lies
42:20
more lies no really i thought I was being a good guy by handing you over to your mother i
42:26
didn't know i I couldn't have known that she wouldn't care about you
42:35
i don't know how this works what is this for
42:41
some form of admission of guilt maybe acceptance it's what the dark man wants
42:49
i guess we just watch my father die again then you think he's alive i know
42:54
he is he's down there scared that he won't be able to get out that he will
42:59
drown with his daughter again what are you saying we got to save him we do it
43:05
yourself i'm down there with him remember
43:14
can I really save them this all happened so long ago
43:19
i have to find a way to get down there i have to see it with my own eyes
43:25
there was a boat at the house where I entered if I can raise the bridge I should be able to get to the car
43:59
this must be where the bridge is operated
44:05
nothing's happening it's like something's holding it back
44:48
there we go we should be able to pilot the boat
47:08
come on come on come on
48:47
my god ky are you okay don't leave me alone
48:53
what the hell have you been doing what's going on here look at this mess i'm I'm
49:00
sorry Mrs thompson don't make me kick you out of this house now get out
49:11
hey detective mr karnby I'm really worried about you i'm okay i just need
49:19
to catch my breath for a moment
49:24
this place it's there are some very disturbed figures
49:29
around here and I don't think it's just the patients i've been reading some things about how Detto has a deranging
49:36
effect on people i think it might explain things what
49:43
just take it easy okay i'm going to go find a way into Dr gay's apartment i
49:48
want to know what he's hiding emily don't worry i think I'm close i'm
49:54
going to set everything right just be careful
50:12
Jeremy knew that the only one who could help him now was the guest in room
50:17
number three the room seemed to have been empty for so long but that wasn't
50:23
allowed to be true the story needed to be different to include something from
50:29
the outside he would bring the guest back to room 3 and show them what was in
50:35
that safe 913 but those were not the right numbers
50:42
that was the combination for the safe in the clerk's office
51:34
i don't have the combination for this but maybe Jeremy did
51:49
the last guest in the empty room suffered from severe maladaption
51:54
i must write this down because if I understand the condition sufficiently it could make me deny this fact at a later
52:01
date and there is reason for me to think I may come to suffer the consequences
52:07
from this dysfunction as some who came in contact with the guests seemed to
52:12
adopt a new world view in which everything was predetermined but broken
52:18
upon accepting this world view some memories became unmanageable and later
52:24
rejected i do not know what this means i cannot
52:30
even remember the fate of the guest i think they were simply misplaced one day
52:36
and forgotten just like all documents pertaining to
52:42
this guest they have all been destroyed or they never existed in the first place
52:49
who wrote this there has never been a guest in the empty room
54:23
i think Dr gray might be in there perfect time to snoop around his office then
56:31
dr gray's office all to myself let's see if we can figure this guy out
56:43
i have finished tidying up Miss Bogard's belongings i will leave it to you to
56:48
contact her agent and have them collect her things i found one of Grace's
56:54
drawings she might want back along with this key in her room which I believe
56:59
you've been looking for mrs thompson
57:08
this is where McCarthy is hidden my favorite young it's very important
57:21
dearest Dr manzetti I find myself in a losing battle with my patient as I've
57:27
disclosed in my previous letter his delusions have him completely captured
57:32
it's bad enough that he is torturing himself with paranoia but his madness turns out to be quite persuasive to
57:39
others effectively laying the ground for mass delusion i am writing to you in
57:45
hope that you can give me some guidance beyond my ambition to avoid devastating surgery on my patient I have grown
57:53
worried about my own defenses the words of my patient are deranged yet they
57:59
often resonate with something primitive within me i have tried photographing his
58:05
brain with X-rays it was surprisingly difficult to get good results dark
58:11
blotches on the plates kept obscuring all details my patient looked at the bad
58:17
plates and cried out in terror telling me the dark areas was the shadow of the
58:23
worm eating him from inside i could not see anything out of the
58:28
ordinary i hope this is a sign that my mind is not as receptive to the madness as I had feared after further inquiry my
58:37
patient described the shadows inside his mind as some kind of cathonic monstrosity that wants to undermine his
58:45
sanctuary this is clearly a reference to a place he calls Teroa a sort of library or
58:52
convent that works as a psychological haven with this imaginary haven
58:57
threatened by this cathonian he has now constructed another less pleasant hiding
59:03
spot lately he has been bringing up a metaphor of a steamboat that has run
59:09
ground that he feels like he needs to start the engines and reverse but he is
59:14
afraid that the hole in the hull would cause the whole ship to sink i've been
59:19
watching him turn this metaphor into reality for the last week he knows it's made up but he is doubling down trying
59:27
to make it a real memory i feel certain that this is my chance to break through
59:33
the barriers of his selfdeceit
1:00:33
there's something missing [Music]
1:04:59
radiography patient Jeremy Hartwood date June 14
1:05:05
1930 plates jeremy's skull proved difficult to capture properly partial radioraphs
1:05:13
worked best a complete picture of the brain can be assembled by piecing three plates together
1:05:20
observations even when looking at an assembled version a shadow covers significant
1:05:26
parts of Jeremy's brain possible tumor but more likely that the equipment is
1:05:32
failing jeremy reacted strongly to the pictures and claimed to see a giant clay
1:05:37
worm eating and displacing his memories notes while this exercise has left me
1:05:44
nowhere closer to an answer I feel confident that a Birkhard labbotomy
1:05:50
should sever all necessary parts
1:06:01
hypothetical psychosurgery based on the ideas by Birkhard and the St petersburg
1:06:06
research could end up saving Jeremy's mind severing the connections around the
1:06:11
frontal lobe would certainly solve most mental afflictions the procedure would
1:06:17
be brutal in performance as well as in efficiency an ice pick pushed through
1:06:23
the edge of the eye and into the skull would untether the nerves like Alexander
1:06:28
cutting the Gordian knot as this would likely leave Jeremy in a very different condition all other paths should first
1:06:37
be explored the medical instrument I would need for this labbotomy is missing and I should
1:06:42
have waits order a new one
1:07:50
don't mind if I too
1:12:11
why does this keep happening what am I supposed to do
1:13:04
and we're back here well perfect time to have a look around this place
1:14:31
no is this This is where Jeremy's hiding right hello is anyone there
1:14:38
jeremy I need help wait can you hear me i'm stuck in the mud and the fire is
1:14:45
taking me where are you the motor is dead i can't do anything more hang on
1:14:52
Jeremy i'll figure something out i'll get the boat running
1:15:27
[Applause] oh shit
1:15:53
the boat's wedged itself right into the bayou if I get the motor started I could try reversing back into the river
1:17:41
looks pretty weak i just need something to break it
1:18:42
this definitely needs fuel
1:19:24
[Applause] heat heat
1:22:38
are you ready to tell me what happened to me i tucked a rope around my neck and then
1:22:45
I strangled all the life from my body are you under the impression that you
1:22:50
die yes no i was supposed to die
1:22:57
what does that mean that you were supposed to die
1:23:03
i'm the catalyst i had to die to make the story
1:23:08
what story did you Jeremy 30 years ago Reap needed me to die
1:23:17
you're not making any sense jeremy
1:23:22
find your focus hey I cheated everyone
1:23:28
i didn't play my part hey I escaped my doom my destiny again find your focus
1:23:36
hey I'm right here what the hell is going on now everything is wrong nothing is in play hey I'm right here calm down
1:23:44
Mr con what do you want did Were you Were you not talking to Jeremy
1:23:51
right now i haven't seen Jeremy all day are you all right detective no actually
1:23:59
I don't I don't think so well maybe i'm going to go look for Jeremy
1:24:05
good let me know if you find him
1:24:14
that was Jeremy's selfdeceit a steamboat stuck in the mud i'm not going to pretend I understand any of that what a
1:24:21
bunch of psychoanalytic nonsense
1:25:48
detective am I glad to see you lock the door will you i don't think Dr gray would appreciate us snooping around
1:25:56
what's going on here this feels so strange
1:26:13
have you found anything what yeah uh yeah i've seen some things okay let me
1:26:21
know if there is anything you want to talk about
1:26:29
there's a book missing
1:26:40
what did you do i was just rearranging the books well come on let's check it
1:26:55
i think I'm beginning to understand dr gray is dealing with some kind of mass delusion
1:27:11
what were you saying about mass delusion detto seems to have a deranging effect on people living close by it has a
1:27:17
history of creating cults devoted to some nature goddess even the name Detta refers to the cult existing here before
1:27:24
the civil war detta was the name of an ancient fertility goddess worshiped in Syria dr gray and his friends however
1:27:31
seem to prefer the black goat of the woods with a thousand young or
1:27:37
Shubnigroth and that name can only have come from my uncle's twisted mind
1:27:50
good to finally meet you Mr hartwood i'm here on the behalf of your brother Phillip you were expecting me weren't
1:27:59
you yes you're from Detto no that's right i just wanted to ask you a few
1:28:06
questions to see if there is anything I can do to help you and your family okay i understand you're full of
1:28:13
imagination you make up a lot of things I suppose and you obsess over them
1:28:21
blurring reality and fiction sometimes do you want to tell me about
1:28:28
the dark man no no I I don't that's all right perhaps there is something else
1:28:34
you can tell me something you know to be made up but you hold dear
1:28:40
juan john who's John no juan Luis
1:28:47
wait there a moment here take a look is he oh he is the
1:28:55
author it's a magnificent book life changing
1:29:03
even the real one is long dead but I like to think of him as my my
1:29:10
It's a magnificent book life-changing even the real one is long dead but I
1:29:17
like to think of him as my my friend my most beloved friend
1:29:23
i see do you often do this fantasize about people you read about
1:29:30
no no well there is Jacob who is Jacob
1:29:37
turn to the last page oh it's a newspaper article the prisoner
1:29:43
of ice Jacob Van Ostart is he also your
1:29:48
beloved friend oh no doctor not at all he is the fire
1:29:55
that fights fire yes I think it's clear your overstimulated imagination this mania
1:30:04
needs to be tempered for you to live a normal life i know your family calls it the heartwood curse but I want you to
1:30:11
know that there is nothing supernatural about your condition it's all inside your head and with that I'm very
1:30:19
qualified to deal with in time you will be cured
1:30:24
in time in time yes in time we will exercise all your
1:30:30
demons all the dark men a
1:30:36
please Mr hartwood calm yourself what happened oh don't you worry your little
1:30:43
head about it Miss Hartwood your uncle and I just had our first breakthrough
1:30:51
that mark on the floor looks like calisman positions but from which direction should I look at it
1:31:02
the snake dagger a monograph by Yel Klene in Ludvik Prin's book on pagan
1:31:09
rituals called the mystery of the grave as translated by Nicholas Vahi there are
1:31:15
several references to a sacrificial dagger called the snake dagger it has
1:31:20
long been thought of as a poor translation of the original text that it would be more appropriate with worm
1:31:27
dagger from the Latin vermis quilt this seems natural following the recent
1:31:33
consensus that the original title of prince's book the vermis mysteries should literally translate to the
1:31:39
mystery of the worm however this would take away from Vak's great effort at
1:31:45
translating the underlying meaning of the words and revealing several cultural beliefs while Prince certainly was using
1:31:52
the term worm as a symbol or synicti for death and the dead which is made clear
1:31:58
by the contents of the book in the case of the dagger we shouldn't be too hasty to dismiss his translation
1:32:05
reading through Vahi's correspondence with his patron it appears that he had more than just the Latin text at his
1:32:12
disposal vahi had dug up prince living relatives and uncovered several
1:32:17
cross-referenced historical texts and an actual snake dagger the dagger was dated
1:32:24
to the early middle kingdom of Egypt and had such a clear shape of a wave that
1:32:29
Vahi considered calling it the sinosoidal blade knowing the full story
1:32:35
it seems prudent that he chose to translate it as snake and not worm there
1:32:40
are several reasons why this choice of word helps us understand the pagans that Prince's book attempts to describe
1:32:51
the symbolic value of the shape becomes more apparent when reading about the use for the dagger in the passage of
1:32:58
possession and exorcism we find the snake dagger poisons the poisoner within
1:33:05
the victim and is therefore pacified where the literal text would tell us
1:33:11
that the warm dagger trumps the demon possessing the victim it tells us nothing of their reasoning only that
1:33:18
somehow this dagger wins against the demon like it had the better hand in
1:33:24
poker vahi's translation allows us to follow the underlying logic to the
1:33:29
ritual magic that is being performed poison the poisoner sounds like fighting
1:33:35
fire with fire that to hurt the demon possessing its victim the priests would
1:33:41
have to fight back with a power that is known to the evil they are fighting the
1:33:46
snake dagger is therefore not only a good way to describe its form but it also helps us understand how it could be
1:33:54
thought of as a useful tool for exorcism finally it also helps us understand the
1:34:01
relationship to lunacy that it was thought of as something poisoning the mind rather than controlling it what is
1:34:10
also interesting to note is that the possessed are always considered poisoned
1:34:15
in their head and not their heart the snake dagger always went to the eye of
1:34:20
the possessed leaving them partially blind if they had the good luck to survive
1:34:54

[Music] we found the ancient Stellarium perched
1:38:58
on a cliff facing the Arctic Ocean after a day of sailing due north of the Eskimo
1:39:03
encampment jacob Vanoshat was our most keen member of the expedition he had been chasing
1:39:11
down the source of a peculiar type of crystallized metal present in several sacred items among the natives on the
1:39:18
northeast coast of Greenland the site was a remarkable find for any
1:39:24
explorer and we were all enraptured in our search for enlightenment and meaning
1:39:30
the surviving architecture seemed almost unearly in origin and astonishingly
1:39:37
sophisticated the metal Jacob was searching for was abundant almost ubiquitous
1:39:45
we were so taken by our find that we were surprised by the sun falling below the horizon
1:39:51
as we quickly picked up our gear ready to head back to our camp Jacob von Otat
1:39:56
declared that he wanted to stay he was adamant
1:40:02
we begged him to reconsider the night would be getting colder by the hour and
1:40:07
we feared for all our safety jacob refused threatening us with
1:40:12
violence if we wouldn't leave him alone as the snowfall turned heavier we left
1:40:17
him there on his own the next day the weather became worse
1:40:23
and we had to spend hours enforcing our shelter as our tents became increasingly useless
1:40:29
the group had written off Jacob thinking he must be dead i had an urge to make
1:40:35
one final attempt to save him so I headed out as darkness fell with a
1:40:41
handful of flares and headed toward the coast and up the climb
1:40:46
towards the Stellarium that's when I saw him transfixed by a
1:40:52
burning sky that celestial lantern
1:40:58
jacob keeled over and let out a painful shriek that struck me with such fear and
1:41:03
pity he was crying in agony for the cold weather had ravaged his flesh i called
1:41:10
out to him and he turned to face me his vacant stare held me in place like a
1:41:17
needle through a butterfly and he said "You must leave now Hashtan
1:41:25
go and never come back." And so her left
1:43:28
hey you what are you doing here what is this place
1:43:35

1:43:41
