Previously, our Amnesia investigators tried to piece together what has happened to them. After searching their mochael rooms, they discovered that they work with a red-headed woman who is nowhere to be found. In a horrifying flashback, Robin Rivers pieces together that heals in a relationship with this woman and sees her bloody, un-nutullated face. We rejoin this mystery as Robin in a moment of insanity runs off screaming into that night. So, you are all in room five at the Coaching Lantern Motel and the host of your show, Robin Rivers, managed to gain access to this laptop and then they started screaming and then they have just run off into the night. They have just run out of the door and are just running through the car park and down the street in absolute object terror. What are you guys feeling like doing? Kirby's on the outside. Oh, so you never went in. I was stood there and Robin just runs past you. Robin! I was. Robin! Yeah, so at the moment you have no control over yourself. At the moment I'm running your character and you are screaming and running. I'm going to try and start running after him. Okay. Yeah. I imagine that. I know that he's more lied than me, but I'm going to try and catch up. Ooh, okay. Yeah. Can you both make me a Constitution role? Ooh, I actually pass. 71, a fail by one. 63. Okay. Yeah, you. Yeah, you can't do it surprisingly. Robin, stop! He is physically trying to wrestle away from you. Can you give me a brawl? So this is an opposed role where both of you need to roll. He is trying to break free of you. Well, I fail horribly with 53. Okay, you catch up. No! And you're. I fail as well. Yeah, you're just hard grappling. Like trying to. Because you're raining. It's hard to get a grip. Yeah, but you are kind of just floundering at each other. He is trying to get away. Cut! Come on, man. We're going. I'm scared too. It's okay. We have to go. We have to get out of here. Yeah, we do. But this is not the way not to run. That's he's dead. I think she's dead, Kat. Who? Lucy! Laura! I don't know these names. You mean red? Red. Red's dead, baby. Red's dead, baby. I think she's dead. I think we were running. Okay, all right. Is he still insane? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, still. Let me go. Let me go. Let me go. Don't go too far. He's kind of like taking off, but you're able to keep up with him. I'm trying to keep up with him, yeah. The other two. What are you guys doing? I imagine there's like a moment of shock, right? Where we both are just like, what the hell? Yeah, he kicked over the chair. He barreled out knocking over the pile of books and papers. And is. I think my first instinct would be to like look at the laptop to what scared him, right? Like what the fuck? Because that was the last thing we saw him doing was on the laptop. He unlocked it. And then he just saw something and then ran. So I'm probably going to go into the laptop and be like, what the hell did he just see? Literally it is a. It's the cat. Picture of her holding her cat. Maybe it's a picture of the two of them together. We can't. We're the cat. Like this really nice kind of cozy picture. It's a Christmas photo. It's a Christmas picture. Clearly there together. They're like an item. Yeah. Okay. She looks like you know. Oh, they're fucking. Yeah. Oh my god. I think they're fucking Jesus. Jesus. All right. Wait, do you want. Why did he run out screaming? I don't know. Maybe I do we hear like Kirby like shouting like, oh, still. I'm not going. Listen, maybe look to the laptop. See if you can find anything. I'll go chase after him and see if I can grab him as well. Yeah, sure. Yeah, see if you can find anything on the laptop. And then I'll head out. So this is probably like taking a few like minutes or whatever. And then I'll run out and try and basically catch up to what these guys are doing. Okay. Give me a constitution roll to see how. 40 success. Okay. Great. Yeah. You were pretty fit. Athletic. But both of them are making a bad job. The tripping roll. Yeah. Robin is running necessarily in like a B line anywhere. He's just kind of freaking out headlessly running around just in the street screaming. Yeah. And you can see Kirby trying to try to curtail him and get a hold of him. I'll try and grab Robin basically like trying grab him in like a. You got to go. Give me a hug. Give me a hug. All right. Opposed. Mine is a big. I'm right here. I'm just trying to grab him. I'm just like holding him basically like maybe like pick him up off the ground a little bit in a big sort of bear hug or something. 100%. Yeah. You stand a good. Half foot taller than he is. And you are much stronger. And you can. Yeah. I'm just like, hey, Kirby, give me a hand here. I know she's dead. What do you mean you know she's dead? I know she's dead. Also, Robin Rivers, can you give me a sanity roll? Just don't stop coming. That's a 94. 90. Oh. Here comes another five. Oh, wait. You know the main host soon. Yes, finally. Maybe I planned this. This is your moment. A large bread. It is. You can lose six sanity. Oh, my God. As he is holding you, you have this flash of being held down, being being trapped. You're trapped underground. Something is holding you there. And you try to get out. You try to scream, be calm. It is absolutely terrifying. It is abject horror. You really, really do not like being held. You really do not want to have this person. I definitely know what's happened as well. I passed my intelligence role. Got ten. Well, as you're already in the. Rips of an instant. But you know what? It's not quite the rules, but I'll happily give it a. Another role. Okay, that's a violent outburst. Okay, as you are losing it also. You are suffering from. A massive amounts of claustrophobia. The idea of being. Trapped or confined. This is why you were feeling bad in your room earlier. And like now, it is even worse. And this is not a good moment for you. Let me go. You gotta calm down, boss. I mean, I'm not going to let him go. I don't know any of this. So I'm just sort of like, you gotta calm down. You gotta go save whatever you need to calm down. It was just a picture of you and her. It's just a picture of you and her. And I'm just I'm going to keep holding in. I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm going to reach my gun. Oh, Kirby's getting in. What? Someone that I'm going to make sense. It makes sense. Yeah, okay. I'm going to try and stop that if possible. Because I know you're. You got your arms. Yeah, I mean, I've got him gripped right now. So I'm going to need a role like a hard. Hard decks or something for you to be able to try. - I'm trying to maneuver to get this gun. - How often say for Robin to get this? - Yeah, for you to actually be able to pull this out. It's in the holster, you're being held. Actually, if Kirby's seeing this and getting involved too, - 80. - I need like an extreme role, maybe. As they're both, no way. - You see Robin trying to get his gun and Carter hasn't noticed. - Get the gun off of him. Get your outfit from the notice on just like calm down. - But you know that Graham needs to pull that gun. - His gun hand away from it and trying to get the gun myself. - Oh yeah, I would say you can just take this gun out of his holster. - I take it out. - I got the gun, I'm standing far away. - So you guys are now stood or in the middle of the road on the main clear high street. Rain is absolutely pouring down. Can someone give me a look, or whoever's got the best luck, I'll have to let you do it. - I think me at this point, I got a 70. - 39. - Yeah, like because of now it's later nice, 11 o'clock. - I was like, "Can't come stand." - (laughing) - The face of Susan Gitt. - Oh no. - I get locked up by that trigger finger. - Old trigger finger. - Yeah, like it is basically deserted out here. Even the old guy, he's asleep behind the counter of the motel again. But yeah, you are restraining him, but he's fighting and struggling. But you're pretty confident he's not going to ever overpower you in this state. - I don't know, again, because again, I've got an knee-j-a-but, I almost imagine that this isn't like, as he's fighting back and I can see him going, like I found out that he's going for the gun, it probably shifts from just a bare hug to almost like a military hold now. Like it's almost like a kind of training to like disarm an opponent. Like I've got his arm behind his back and my hand around his neck and his neck. And it's like just almost like default slipped into like some sort of like combat training or something maybe like, as he's hopping a hold down, you break his neck. - Oh, my gosh. - If I, if I, yeah, maybe. - That comes so naturally to you that you just feel like these movements are completely normal. Almost like you have done this kind of thing before that you have experience in having to restrain someone, having to fight and stuff like that. - Yeah, yeah, this just, it's so easy. And he is not able to. - That's a strong guy to be able to fight back. And yeah, you guys have full control over him, despite him still kind of just. - Raven and squirming and. - And there we go. There we go. No, I'm not really good with firearms because I'm gonna just unload the gun. Basically take the ammunition out, the magazine out. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can take the magazine out. - Just in case he has another go for it. - Cool. Well, yeah, you've got a gun, it's unloaded. - We gotta get out of the rain. - Yeah, I'll start like, I'll start like dragging him back. Maybe to like just like under the covers, not in a room, but like, you know, away from where we can be seen basically. - Sure, yeah, you're back under the cover and he's beginning to kind of calm down a little bit. - Yeah. - But yeah, you're sort of, you're kind of coming back to, I'm gonna say maybe this takes about sort of like five, 10 minutes of panic. And you're losing this mania, you're not feeling as violent, you're not trying to flee, but just you feel broken inside. Just your body hurts, your brain hurts, your heart hurts, that from these memories you've had and these experiences, he kind of just stops fighting and he just drops the ground. - Yeah. - And he's kind of just sort of carefully, gently sobbing to himself. But you are back in the room, take the rains. But we're gonna go back over to Angel. So you're, yeah, you're at the computer. Is there anything? - Yeah, okay, first things first. I wanna find out what red's name is. So I think I will open up her internet browser and just like Google and Facebook and see if her profile, she's logged in, what comes up. - Easy. Yeah, so can I get a computer use from you, which I think is just gonna, how I'm gonna handle the rest of this scene? - So I got 69, nice. But my computer is 80. - Oh, yeah, you're already, you're like. - Yeah, you're already good at using this computer. - I know how to open up Facebook. (laughing) - I'm something of a hacker. - Well, I don't know if my mom knows how to do that. So you're doing pretty good. Yeah, Lynn Cartwright. - Lynn Cartwright. - Is her name? Yeah, she is the producer/show runner for the spooky files, the supernatural files. - Okay, I think as soon as I see that name as that, I'm gonna look, and you're like, yes, that is her name. - Thank you. - And, ooh, can I have a sanity roll? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Can I have a little cheeky memory? - Seven, I'm so same. - Okay, you're doing, you're going to get one. - I'm just usually, I'm really good. - Have you lost any sanity yet? - I think you lost one point. - No, I lost one? - Yeah, I think there was one moment where we all lost one. - Oh, that's it, I lost one. - Okay, yeah, you lose one sanity, and you remember, like, you just think to yourself, how could you have forgotten her name? Like, you remember being in like high school with her. Like, - With besties. - Yeah, like she's your best friends. - Oh. - How could you have known that? - Then, - Like, you can't put down all the details, but you just remember like spending time together, all the time, - Got my friendship bracelet on, which has the initials LC. - You got your friendship bracelet. Yeah, in the photo, she's wearing her matching friendship bracelet. - Yeah. - Like, this is like, this is your best friend. - I'm gonna look at my best friend. - Oh my god, that's the, - All right, well, immediately, I'm gonna get my phone out and cry and call her. - Oh, yeah. Yeah, we can do that. You call, there's no answer. It just rings. - Just rings and rings. - So it just goes. - Well, I mean, that's really fucking worrying. - Who's the answer phone like? - Hey, it's me, Flynn, your best spooky girl, sorry, I'm probably busy in the haunted house somewhere, stay alive. - Hey. - Oh no. (laughing) - Got the way to the beep. - Hey. - Hey, Lynn, it's Angel. I'm a little bit worried about you. It's like 11 p.m. I don't know where you are. Can you call me as soon as you get this message please? Okay, bye. Right, I think immediately I would start worrying. I think fuck, it's 11 p.m. Where the hell is she? She's not answering her phone. I suddenly realized this is like one of my best friends. I'm gonna go and find the guys and go tell them like what's happening. - Great, well yeah, you kind of step out the front and they're sad. They kind of all around Robin who's just sort of sat on the ground. - Jesus. - What happened to you guys? - Just everyone soaking wet. - I have no idea what he was doing. - She's dead. - She's what? - No, she's dead. She died in that. - What do you mean? - What do you mean she's dead? - I saw it. - That's why I went with her. - We were running, yes. - Does that ring a bell with the rest of us? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You, um. - Lin. - Yeah. - Actually, yeah, you can all have a salty roll. - So Lin. - Lin. - Lin. - 27. - Don't worry, Lucy, don't get me. - Hey, one point under 39. - Nice. - Okay, so you can both lose one just saying I see. - Oh, goodie. - Oh, goodie. - And both of you just remember her. - I have, yeah. - You remember like a late night at a bar. You guys doing shots together. - I'm like a great guy. (laughing) - You just gave her a toilet seat. - No, I'm a bestie. - You remember like you two eagerly like staying up one night to get your Taylor Swift tickets. And being so excited that you're going together. - It's my best friend. - Not my best friend. (laughing) - Yeah, just like having a great time. Like her drinking you guys under the table one night, off like playing pool, you know, listening to music dancing around. Like just, these are like a good time. - This is a person that we were close to and had a good relationship. - Yeah, she's our glue. - Yeah. - And. - Oh, shit. - Lin. - And her like just having a wonderful time with you. And maybe like you remembered like her taking this risk on you, like hiring you. The, you know, you were a bit like down and out. - Unemployed time. - And the, you know, she gave you this chance and the like she saw through this like, this kind of like tougher exterior and that like she's just been, someone who's been there for you. And you feel like you've known her for a couple of years. and she really helped you out at a time when you needed it. - And when Robin's saying that she's dead, is that any of us remember anything to do with that, or is that, or are we just like, would we think, oh, there's no way she can be dead. What is he talking about? We've got to, I don't know if there's-- - I think I'd be like, what do you mean, did you see her die? - Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. - Do we have any idea of the last time we saw her, basically? - I'm gonna roll for this. - Okay. - No, you just remember, you just know who she is. - We know who she is, but we have no memory of when the last time we saw her. - Okay. - We're left aware, what are you talking about, guys? Boss? - At the house, we left her at the house. - You were never good enough for her, I assume. - My best friend. - She was my best friend. - You're left. What, you saw her die? What, I got in New York now. (laughing) - You've traveled around the opposite. - I traveled all, you're stopping the New York. - You're hearing me and then it's triggered, you know, that happens sometimes. - I do remember something, I had a moment earlier in my room, the house. We just couldn't get past the door, it was locked. We, someone was on the other side and we couldn't get in there and we had to run. - Was it, was it Lynn? - I don't know, I don't remember. - All right, we gotta get to this house. If we've left Lynn there, we gotta go in here. We gotta make sure she's okay. - But our van's, Dave's auto repair, we don't have anything. - Taxi? It's quite late, we could ask the guy at the office. - Yeah, that's us, who calls the cab? - Yeah, we should call the police. I think she might be her. I think we need to get them out to the house. - Tell them what, they already think we're crazy. - I think, I think. - We could do an anonymous call. - We can't leave her there. - We go back now and get her. And then we get the fuck out of this weird town. You look, you are in no state. I'm gonna go talk to that guy at the office. - I'll come with you. - Yeah. - You said it yourself boss, like, you know, we were in an accident, it's trauma, maybe a bad dream or something like that. Maybe you just, you're imagine, there's no way that anything's happened. You know, we've done a million of these things, right? There's no way. - I just have a bad feeling. - It's just a feeling. She's probably just locked in there and we just need to unlock it and take her back. Come on. - Yeah. - Okay, so if you wanna head over to the office again, the guy's fast asleep. - We can go get her. - Oh, oh, okay. - How is this how I spoke? - I was pretty much like that. - I was like that. - That him saying that. (laughing) - This is how I spoke. - Oh, sorry, it's having a dream. Where else? It'll play. (laughing) Hello, hello. - Hello, sir. I'm so sorry to wake you. - Is there a problem with the toilet? - No, no, no, no. It's something. - Toilets fine, sir. - Sometimes they flood. - I know, you told me last time. - Because of my IBS. - I know, I know. - I prove everywhere. - Is your friend okay? She got her medicine. - Well, see, that's the problem. I've gotta go give her her medicine, but our car has broken down. Could you call us a cab, please? - Oh, yes, right away. - But also, can I just ask you a quick question, please, sir? Will I have you here? - Yes, I'm not going anywhere. - Can you tell us, I know this seems strange. Is Tiffany Jensen still missing? - Tiffany Jensen. - The 15 year old? - Ooh, I'm gonna see if this guy, on a 14, Tiffany Jensen. Oh my God, that was, that was, do I ever say the year that this is set? We're gonna say it's this year. - Okay. - 2024. - Happy New Year. - Happy New Year. - So I think it's actually setting like, we're in September, like 2016, which is when this book was published, but we're, - We can do that, we can do this. - But we're now, - I don't remember the tech difference. We're gonna, and someone said that they had a galaxy for something, or, I don't know, smartphone, because some people get very annoyed about my inconsistent. (laughing) So, oh, that was, I was like 20 years, 25 years ago, or something. - Oh, oh God. - 2003, 2004. - Jesus Christ. - Sorry sir. - We're just, we were looking into a story. - '43, 1993, '94. - Did they find her? Did she ever find her in the year? - No, that was so sad. Like, no, she, no, she never showed up. - Oh God. - Like, I don't know, after a night of drinking, maybe they just took off, you know, Cleo's not an exciting place for a teenager. - Oh, no, no. - But, - Yeah. - Very, very sad. - Hard breaking. - So do you have years ago, okay. - I mean, please call it, can you call the cab, - Sorry, yes. - One more question, sorry. - Sorry, sorry, sorry. - Just one more, just one more. - Sorry. - Can't please, it's on its way. The moment this conversation's over, the cab will be here. - Thank you. - Don't worry. - I just, I wanted to ask the guy that went crazy and killed his family, is he still in prison? Or is he passed away now? - The Cooper. - Cooper? - John Cooper. - John Cooper. - My God, well, I had a very good memory role. I may seem like I'm a bit, a bit of a dunce. - Well, you would have been a youngster when this happened, right? - Yeah, this was in the 50s, baby. - Oh wait, this guy would be dead by now. - Yeah, John Cooper. - Wait a minute. - But there was Andy Cooper. That would have been, that Andy Cooper was more recent than that. - Which one was? - That was in the Tiffany report, they mentioned it was Andy Cooper who went crazy and killed his wife and kid. You were told, - Oh, that's who you're talking about. - That's who I'm talking about. - John Cooper was before that. - No, John Cooper was dead. - No, no, no. - In 1965, and then in the report about Tiffany, there was a mention of an Andy Cooper went crazy. - Oh no. Oh, you get where the notorious Andy Cooper went crazy and murdered his wife and child in 1965. - And you're John Cooper. - That's not my fault. Those are handouts from the book, but I'm pretty sure it's the same person you're referring to. - John. - John and Andy Cooper. - That's a journalist's fault. - That's John Cooper. - That's what I've won called him Andy. - Yeah. - Okay. - I'm pretty sure his name was John Cooper, but that's the handouts. That's not a Tom. - No, no. - Okay, fair enough. Okay, so we know he's dead from old age. Did he die in prison or did they release ever release him? - Honestly, I don't really know both details. Maybe. - She's like a big deal for a small town like this. - Well, he died in prison. - But maybe if you talk to the police. - I was gonna ask you about that. The Cleo Historical Society. - I know. - Okay. - All right. - But we've got a cap taking us to this house. - Well, we can make other stops if we need to. - If it's like Uber that we have in 2024, we can add stops to the way. - Yes, we do have Uber in 2024. - Sorry, old time. You mentioned the police. Is the police chief Donald Matthews? - The police chief, Donald Matthews. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That is the police chief. - I think we spoke in 2004. I've gotten an interview with the guy. So we might. - Can you play it back? - I need a recorder. It doesn't use. - I need this. It's on, it's on mini discs. - No, we need this. - No, we need that. - We don't get that in place. - I don't know why do we record it. - Why do you keep taping it? - I don't know. I don't know why we use them. - Quite eccentric. - I don't know. Maybe it's something to do with the quality. - Yeah, maybe. Or maybe because the spokes, I don't know something. Maybe it picks up spokes better. - Something like that. - Maybe you know more about that. - I don't know. You know more about this stuff than I do. I don't know much about it. - But yes, the police chief, I'd say. Maybe someone else might know. Oh, Lily, Lily that runs the historical society. I know she has a bit of a morbid sense of humor and is quite obsessed with a lot of the mysteries and missing people. But I don't know, I'm too old to believe in ghosts. - Sure, sure. - Yeah, of course. - Thank you, sir. You can go back to sleep. Thank you so much. - Thank you. And oh, look, your cab is here. - That's so well timed. - That's so good. - It's timing. It's because it's only just down the road. Perfect. Goodbye. - Goodbye now. - Yeah, and we'll bundle in. - Yeah, there's a larger cab. Three of you probably need to jump in the back. One of you in the front and. - I've got a bag. I still got some being up front in the ventrometer. - Mm, I can, don't want to be nearest steering wheel. - I'll sit up in the front. But I think just before we get in the cab, I'll probably like look around to everybody. We're like, all right, so what do we want to do? Do we want to head straight to the farmhouse and see if Lyn's there? I mean, obviously we need to get it right. - She's there. - She has to be okay. She must be okay. - She's not there. Maybe we come back in the car. in the town when we ask around and see if we can find anything. - We gotta go straight there. We can't fucking round with libraries. - Also, it's getting close to midnight now. - It's gonna be quite. - Yeah, yeah. - But this main thing is basically dead. There's only half a dozen street lights and outside of the office of the motel, there's not a lot of stuff awakening alive going on. Yeah, there's a cabbie like, "Oh, hello, where would you like to go?" (laughing) - Cooper. - Yeah, you take us out to the Cooper farmhouse? - Cooper. - The Cooper house. - Cooper house. - Okay, I don't have that on my GPS. - I know. - It's out in the outskirts. - I don't know what's the Cooper map. - Do you know where that could have been? A road name, perhaps? - Oh, yeah. Macomsie Road. - Oh, okay, yeah, take five minutes, 10 minutes. - All right, I got that. - Okay, sure. - Wow, you can get there from here, wow. That's good. - Well, the roads are empty. - Yeah, let's do. - We're gonna start. - I kicked the speed. (laughing) - Just a kick-solve. (screaming) - Roaring down the road. I'm driving like an absolute psychopath. - Right. - In the panways. - Just absolutely one thing. - Licking on the dear life. - We've already been in one car crash tonight. - Yeah. - It is like listening to very loud Bavarian music. - Amazing. - Very gangster rap. - It is Bavarian gangster rap. - Exactly. - Nice. - Great, whoever's putting the sound effects in, we're finding that back in the song. As you have a tear through the rain. Nice. - Unless you wanna talk about anything, you guys get there. - Nice. - Make a drug and water this guy. - Pure crash and die. - We forget everything. He's like, you crash and get, okay, wake up. You're in the crash taxi car. (laughing) - We stop our car and she's like, - Oh. - Somehow our minds get swat. - Oh. - This is a pretty magic taxi car. - Yeah. - All that stuff. - He re in the magic taxi car. (laughing) - So yeah, you're driving down this long, long road. And there's some little patches of woodland, but now you can just see like through the darkness just illuminated by street lights is just these like big tall ears of corn stood up all around and still just kind of horrible rain. - Can we drive past where our van crashed? - Yeah, you do. - I keep an eye out for that location where the van has been picked up. - Actually, according to the map, the crash location is further out so we would get to the Cooperhouse first. - We went the one way round. - We went the long way round. - Because we're so fast. - It's actually, it's actually quicker. - It's like a sling car. - That way the roads are better. - Yeah, sure. - So you drive past. - You say that, that's fine by me. - And then the wizards tower up here. And there's dragons. Now you drive past where you crash. You kind of like do a longer route just 'cause those roads over there, they get flooded in the rain so I go this way. That's why it took the upper end of the five to 10 minutes. - You just do your thing. - But yeah, you go, you can see where there's like a real dent in the corn and that your van isn't there anymore. - Yeah, exactly. - Did it come off, it came off the road, right? - Yeah. - So there's a burnt rubber marks. - Yeah, yeah. So as you drive along, I give you a spot hidden. - Sure. - You're looking for that. - That's a 77, I feel. - Wait, no, why succeed? - Whoa. - It's an 80. - Oh yeah, you're good at spotting. - Yeah, as you go along, you go past that. You can see there are, yeah, tire marks kind of like zigzagging across the road. - I'm trying to piece together how I was driving. What happened? - Like, dangerously. You can work out. - And just, erratically going away. - Yeah, from the Cooper house? - Yeah, it's coming away from the Cooper house. And as you, you kind of like pull up and it goes off this kind of actual paved road onto like a dirt, dirt track. And you can see like thick grooves of tire tracks coming out of there. And the rain hasn't quite obscured it yet, but you can see like something looks like it accelerates out of here. - Very quick. - Real fast. - Yeah. - Can I say to the cab driver, like, "Hey, hey, Pa, can you wait around for a minute? "We won't be long. "We need to grab a friend of ours. "Can you stick around for a little bit?" - Yeah, sure. I'm just, er, I'm listening to my music. Hello. - I'm gonna take the $50 out, to say this is a down payment. - Oh, amazing. - Great. - Thank you. - I'll be here, baby. (laughing) - What's your name, Ralph? - Hey, that's not how I speak. - I'm from New York. - Oh, it's Ivan. - Ivan. - Thanks for driving. - Yeah, it's me. I'm Ivan. - Thank you Ivan. - Not Ivan. - Not Ivan, but for very, like, little Bavarian. - I think it sits there. He turns the music up. - Yeah. - I'm just thinking the last thing is like, if we think that we just grab it here and then come and say that, right? - Yeah, yeah. - We don't want to believe because we're just fucking stuck in this middle of nowhere. - Keep that. - Okay. - Keep that, you know what? - Moat meter running. - Yeah, that's the one. - Keep the meter running. - I'm all about me. (laughing) - Okay. - Hey, for his rich. - I've also got some money as well. (laughing) - They've got me a lot. - $200. - Damn. - How much money do you got? - You don't need to know how much money I got here. - I'm just gonna card. - I mean, you have like a diamond deer. - Oh yeah. - I just assumed you're in. - It could be a fake for a line now. - Yeah. - As you step out and you're walking towards, walking down this track, there's just fields of corn kind of either side and then sort of like a ring, like it's like a like rockier ground, this house is built and it's absolutely dilapidated. It doesn't look like it's been used or had anything going on there for a long time. And you have this terrible sense of foreboding as you walked towards it. - I'm gonna say to Angel, - Mm-hmm. - Are you when you go with these and I get out Robin's gun? - Oh, no, sorry. - Okay, I just don't want him to have it right now. - Oh, uh, Carter. - Oh, she's gonna be okay. - He looks like he does his security guard kind of. Maybe he'll know. - Okay, let's go in there and we get a, Carter, we get her and we come out. - We gotta be okay. - Oh yeah? - So we're gonna be okay. - Robin shouldn't have this, but maybe you go in there and we get a use of it just in case. - I don't know if I'm gonna have it wrong. - Yeah, I guess. - I just don't know if I'm gonna be good. - Okay. - I give him Robin's gun. - Sweet. - And the bullets? - Oh yeah. (laughing) - I was gonna say, I was gonna ask. - Oh, so. - Yeah, as you walked towards, yeah, this building, it's kind of falling down. Off to one side is a barn and it looks like the roof is caved in. Not a big barn, like maybe, you know, the size of a two-car garage. - Can I get a sanity check from everyone? - No. - Success for me? - Woo! - Success for me. - Success. - I see two. (laughing) - Robin's just muttering. - She's gonna be okay. - Anyone that has passed, lose one and, - Lewis. - Just don't. - Oh, Lewis, you lose one as well. - Oh! - I've got you, Matt. - You're disappointed. - Matt. - Yeah. - Like, when you say this sense of foreboding, like, it's really bad, like, we feel that, like, this is a dangerous place or is this just like, we get unsettled, like. - It's, you just have this bad feeling in your guts. - Yeah. - It is real unjust. - You have hair on the back of the neck. - Yeah, yeah, something bad happened here. And you, as you walk towards, you remember walking, getting out of your van, like, leaving, leaving a vehicle, walking straight towards this place and kind of carrying some gear and a figure just inside the doorway, kind of walking towards you and greeting you as the five of you head towards. - So including Liam as well. - So the Cooper house. - Okay, so it wasn't Lynn, someone else. - Somebody else is here with us. - And you can't quite make them out. This silhouette of a figure is stood in there, kind of like waving at you guys and you just vividly remember this and it just, oh, it just makes you like shiver and shake inside. - Okay. - I think the gun that I've just been handed, I will load the clip, pull this line, chuck it into, like, my pants, basically, like, so. (laughing) Keep the safety on but just load it and then pop the thing in my, the, - Tatch of race band, basically. - Suppressor. - Yeah, great. - Okay, so. - Why not? - You make it to the front door of this place as a porch with a sanging roof and the door has warm. being hanging off its hinges is completely wide open and you can make it inside into this kind of two-story sort of, I don't know, looks like 1950s-ish kind of building, like pretty sort of standard fare for the style of, the style of place around here and yeah it is eerily quiet, I'm gonna take a swig of my hip flask as like a courageous boost before I go in, oh yeah you can, oh give me a sanitary roll, 84, 84, perfect, great that's five sanitary oh, ow, you drank the crazy juice, you drank the coolade, as you put the flask to your mouth and you take a sip and you feel this liquid going down your throat, you flash, remember this feeling of like violation of something being deep inside you, inside your guts, I need to google sitophobia, well you know because I'll help you out, it's consuming, consuming food or water is a pretty bad one and can I get like a con constitution roll as well, with that urges you cow, oh 13 so that is a really good success, like an extreme success, okay, really good success, sure, we'll just have you start vomiting then, oh blood or just, it's not blood, just a liquid I just will, just, Kirby has a sip of this drink, so vomiting, oh my god, and then you just stop babbling to yourself and you have absolutely lost it, you're temporarily insane, oh shit, tick that box, is, maybe she's done, we're gonna die, that, something in here, you ate something in here, something happens, something, yeah, yeah, get it out, get it out of me, you have this feeling of you are too full, you ate too much, you're too full, you're bloated, and just feel horrible, shit, so I've kind of got the reins on your character for now, but he is, just like trying to make himself throw, I'm like, yeah, I think, yeah, I think that's fair, throwing my fingers down my, put everything is down your throat and trying to make yourself be sick, I don't want anymore of me, no more of me, Carter, what's going on Carter? Oh man, hey, pal, come on, you gotta pull it together, like, Kirby, what are you doing? Kirby's having, no, Kirby, trying to hold his hands back, like, Kirby, no, no, no, no, Kirby, no, don't throw up on the carpet, I don't know, yeah, I think, I'm just sort of like, look at, because he's just trying to make himself throw up, it's unusual and stuff, but we're also still looking for our friends, so I'm like, if angels kind of like, working with Kirby, I'm like, is looking after him, I think I would still probably be like, look, we just need to get linen and get the fuck out of here, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna go, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, it's so, yeah, yeah, he's babbling about, he's so full, he's just too full, yeah, too much, but like, you're with him, there's nothing more I can really do, so I'm just sort of like, yeah, I'm worried about this guy as well, then, I'm just in the house, searching room by room, he's off on his own, okay, so yeah, if you want to know, how are you gonna die now? I'll just sort of buy himself, but this is the one I'm playing into it very well, I love it, then, yeah, right, you guys barrel, barrel into the house, well, I imagine that Robyn's gonna head of me, like, I was distracted by this, it sounds like he's gone off on his own, and now I'm gonna go in after him, like, I'm staying with Kirby out side, yeah, this is a good way to pick up the scene, or or, you are watching Kirby trying to vomit, being looked after by angel, and then you'll just snap to by hearing this muffled shout of, and you realize Robyn is in the house, you don't know where, but you hear him calling from, from, can I try and work out like what part of the house you might be in? Yeah, it's not that bigger place, maybe it's got like eight rooms in tow, sure, sure, sure, yeah, a lot of going after him. Yeah, you head on in, and there is like a main living room, and you can see a bunch of camera gear set up in here, this is him, it looks like there's like some tripods, lights, you would guess like, some filming was gonna be happening here, doesn't take a genius to put that together. Robyn is just in one of the side rooms next to that, like a sort of a study there, that isn't a ton of furniture, any few remaining bits that are here are smashed to pieces, it looks like this place was cleared out a long time ago, and anything that is here is, I have animals nesting in it, or has been used and abused for years, they're living in the living room area where the cameras are, you can see there's empty beer cans, there's cigarette butts on the floor, the, these stuff look like they could have been here for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, but people have been coming here, since night, through night four, drinking and hanging out easily, easily that long, if not longer, okay, would be a real safe bet, and can I get a spot hidden roll from the two of you inside? 70, no, just a seven, wow, seven, so seven, I got 73, so it's a failure for me, okay great, well I'm looking for, yeah, you're looking for limits, you're for me, yeah, perfect, this is great, Mark, can you have a sanity roll, you sure I'm good, my first failure 78, I can't do anything about it, can I, okay, that's good, I was going to get two, two sanity, as you're looking around downstairs here, all of a sudden, you don't quite notice it, but as Robin is just like stopped and you're just looking at something, whereas you're kind of like barring towards him, and just you walk and you just get this face full of cold webs, oh my god, it is horrible, it is, and you have this extreme reaction, so bad that you let out like a shriek, yeah, like playing my face and stuff, oh my god, of all things, you do not care for spiders, this is a good thing, and Robin, you can see like, there are spiders in this room, like these, these kind of like fat white spiders, and as you come in like, they like scuttle them into four boards underneath, like you know, the couch behind things, these weird bulbous meaty orb with little needle like legs pull away from you, then you'll just snap to hearing a carter, carter like shriek behind you, and I'm like, I've got that thing where like, I'm convinced ones are me, so I'm like brushing everywhere, oh yeah, 100% there's, uh, oh get him off, get him off, fucking bugs, I hate him, I hate him, real, real bad, not, not a good time, um, you hear it?

A lot of the spiders that were there, I'd say you've easily consumed. I don't even say like a dozen handfuls. And a lot of the us are like really dissipating. Like they are crawling into behind things, making themselves completely hidden and just trying to get away. Robin is mainly clean of spiders now. - Nice. - Most of those have been consumed. - Yeah, I just wipe off any excess ones. - Yeah, they just like pattern bounce of the floor. These things are horrible and scuttle away and drag themselves through these like cracks in the floor and stuff like that. - I'm shaky Robin out of his stupa. Robin, come on man. You gotta find Liam. - I know, but Liam. - There's more pressing matters right now as spiders and Carter's eating them. (laughing) - Chhh, I'll slap him across the face. - Hey, gotta go back inside, man. - Okay, you gotta go back inside. - Slap him across the face. - Yeah. I think you can bust him out of this. You kind of, you come to. You're there. - Ooh, your cheek hurts. Your head hurts. You're bleeding from like a gash on your head. Where it looks like you're hit by like a banister post or something. - Can I have a look at this skin sack? I wanna know whether it's got red hair, Jamie. - Yeah, you can have a look. No, no, it doesn't have red hair. It looks like a guy who's maybe like late 40s-ish, fairly de-sheveled clothing, not in great condition. There is almost no meat or organs or bones inside of this. - It's just skin. - It's mainly just slashed. - Yeah, with a load of this kind of white oozey. - I know it's like Robin is examining it and things, but like, is it the person that greeted us when we had that flashback of like the person at the doorway? Is it in like any sense it was the same person you've got? - No, I do. - I mean, I mean spiders. (laughing) - What did I say? - I mean, I think it was spiders. - Yeah, I think you probably brought that off. Spiders, like the spiders are gone. - Okay. - You get the last one down. - Yep. - And that concludes this episode of Call of Cthulhu, the modern scenario. Forget me not. - I really hope that you guys are enjoying this. If you are, maybe leave us a comment. If there are other games that you'd like to see us play, we'd be very curious to hear about that.
