10:41This is all I have. Be careful with them.
10:49Inside the trailer, at the outskirts of Watery,
10:52Saga had seen Wake's fabled clicker for the first time
10:55in the hands of the Cult of the Tree.
10:58A cultist stared at her. She drew her weapon.
11:05Standing inside the trailer, at the outskirts of Watery,
11:08Saga had seen Wake's fabled clicker for the first time
11:12in the hands of the Cult of the Tree.
11:15Her mind reeled from what the horror story was now claiming about her.
11:19Her life. Her past. She didn't accept it.
11:23She stepped out of the trailer. She needed air.
11:26But she wasn't alone. A cultist stared at her from behind a deer mask.
11:31She drew her weapon. Shouted. Ran after him.
11:40The Cult of the Tree has the clicker Wake told me about.
11:44They're a part of all this.
11:49It's all on the page. The clicker. The cult.
11:53Okay. I'll head to Watery and find this trailer.
11:56Casey, you stay here and keep an eye on Mr. Wake.
11:58Got it.
12:00No. You need me there.
12:02No dice, pal.
12:04This is an FBI investigation.
12:06And I don't see a badge on that flannel.
12:14You wrote these pages in the dark place.
12:17So why are we finding them here?
12:19I think I wrote them.
12:22I remember writing an endless amount of pages.
12:26When this happened before, the pages were being sent from the dark place to help me.
12:32Maybe the same thing is happening here.
12:35That's all for now, Mr. Wake.
12:38Thank you for your cooperation.
12:49I'm the only one who understands the forces behind this.
12:53I can help you.
12:54No, no. That's not how this works.
12:56You're a civilian, and we don't do ride-alongs.
13:00And if Scratch is after you, then so is the cult.
13:03We don't know who we can trust here.
13:05Dammit, you are making a mistake.
13:07Mm-hmm. I'll be sure to add that to the list.
13:18Hi. Welcome.
13:23Okay. Past favorite Deerfest floats. Go.
13:26A yarn puppet monstrosity.
13:29Uh, Stuffed Moose and Squirrels one.
13:31No, thank you.
13:32Those beady dead marble eyes still give me nightmares.
13:37So who's in for a bet this year?
13:39A hundred bucks says there'll be at least one vendor-bender between the floats.
13:43For that amount of money, you'll cost it yourself.
13:46Yeah, I'm not taking that wager.
13:48Too many opportunities for interference.
13:56Hello, and welcome to Coffee World,
13:59voted Washington's best coffee-themed amusement park.
14:02All of our attractions are family-friendly and available to children of all ages.
14:07Just like our coffee.
14:11So, take a sip of our Oh Dear Diner organic coffee and let the adventure begin!
14:22Hold on for dear life on the Espresso Express!
14:27Oh!
14:29Soak in some local history at the Huotari Well,
14:33where two serial killers once hit the disemboweled bodies of their murder victims.
14:38It's not haunted.
14:43Come join Mocha Moose and the goats at our amusement park petting soon.
14:50Just don't share your coffee with the goats.
14:53Seriously, stop feeding our goats coffee.
14:56Seriously.
14:57It's not amusing.
15:01Take in amazing views from the slow road trip ferris wheel.
15:05I can almost see the Warrior Lighthouse trailer park.
15:11This is so much fun!
15:14And finish off at our brew-tiful gift shop,
15:18where seniors and children under 10 receive a 9% discount on keychase and propane tanks.
15:24Welcome to Coffee World.
15:26We guarantee you'll jawa a great time!
15:34This is the third time I've requested something to be done about the TV in my room.
15:40It keeps going on by itself.
15:43It's keeping me awake all night.
15:46Yes, sir.
15:47I'm terribly sorry for that.
15:49We've called a professional electrician.
15:52In the meantime, have you tried unplugging the TV for the night?
15:56Oh!
15:57Oh, there's an idea, Einstein.
15:58Well, why don't I just get rid of everything I'm paying for in that room while I'm at it?
16:03Sleep on the floor.
16:04Go to the toilet in the corner.
16:06Yeah, I'm not unplugging it!
16:08You're fixing it!
16:09Of course, sir.
16:12Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?
16:15Would you like a complimentary dinner tonight?
16:17Well, that almost makes up for the ineptitude of this place.
16:22I'm glad to hear it.
16:38You're back with Pat Main, and we've got a very special guest today on the program.
16:44It's artisan, cuckoo clock designer, Terry Feldman.
16:48Terry, how are we today?
16:50Hey there, Pat.
16:51You're in just fine.
16:52I'm a super big fan of the show.
16:55What a treat to be on with you today.
16:59The pleasure's all mine, Terry.
17:02Now, I hear you're doing something special for Deerfest.
17:05Tell us about that.
17:07Yeah, yeah, I'm crafting a selection of custom basewood cuckoo clocks,
17:13but the real special sauce is when it's cuckoo time
17:16and you're expecting a bird to pop out for a chirp.
17:19Out comes a big old deer.
17:21Well, that's just neat.
17:23Yeah, it's pretty neat.
17:26Real neat.
17:27That's going to have the tourist tickled pink.
17:29And I hear you're selling these at the Sunday market.
17:32So make sure to say hello to Wendy Davis
17:36from our sponsor, Davis Family Beef Turkey,
17:39while you're there, all right?
17:40Terry, you still there?
17:43Yeah, yeah, still here.
17:45I'm just...
17:46Jeez, Pat, I'm sorry to tell you this.
17:49I thought you heard Wendy's dead.
17:52Oh, boy.
17:54That's a strange joke you're playing there, Terry.
17:58No, it's...
17:59I'm sorry, Pat.
18:01You know all that FBI business.
18:04Wendy was one of those bodies they found.
18:06Well, that's just not possible, Terry.
18:10Wendy stopped by this morning with three flavors of beef jerky.
18:14She brought me the smoked hickory and the teriyaki and then...
18:20What was that other one?
18:22I'm real sorry, Pat.
18:25What was that other one?
18:27She was just talking about this just hours ago.
18:30Smoke hickory, teriyaki, and...
18:36Hickory teriyaki!
18:38Thanks, Tapio.
18:39It's just a bit of a strange joke, Terry.
18:43Did Yakko and Elmo put you up to this?
18:46Pat.
18:47Well, somebody's having a laugh over this little prank, I'm sure.
18:52Terry, thank you so much for your time.
18:54Can't wait to see those deer fest cuckoos at the market.
18:58Wendy will be there with her beef jerky as always, and...
19:01And we'll be back after this.
19:31Tammy didn't want me to come, I can tell.
19:34Not like the trip is even helping.
19:36I thought getting out of the city would inspire me.
19:38But Bright Falls is just a bunch of trees and empty storefronts.
19:42I need to find something.
19:45I'm tired of writing one-act plays about how shitty the world is.
19:49I thought scathing social commentary would make me feel like a real artist.
19:54But I don't know.
19:56It's not me.
19:57I want to write something weird.
19:59Something really out there.
20:01Something authentic.
20:02But what?
20:04Fuck this town.
20:05I don't even want to get into what happened last night.
20:08It's weird, though.
20:10Sitting here in the hotel room, some pieces are starting to fall together.
20:14An idea for a new play.
20:16A space cult burning down the galaxy in some misguided search for TBD.
20:22A lone man.
20:23An artist.
20:24Wandering the stars until his destiny puts him straight in the cult's path.
20:29All-black cast?
20:31A musical?
20:32A rock opera?
20:40Ed hadn't been the same since his latest show had closed.
20:44This wasn't the first time one of his productions had shuddered early.
20:47Scathing social commentary in a one-act play wasn't exactly filling seats.
20:53When Tammy told him she was taking a research trip to Bright Falls, he decided to tag along.
20:59Ed told her he wanted to find inspiration.
21:02Really, he just wanted a break from the city.
21:03But it was true that he certainly needed to find something.
21:07A voice.
21:08A direction.
21:09An idea.
21:10Something authentic to himself.
21:13Ed knew he couldn't keep using Tammy's money to fund his playwriting.
21:17After the argument with Tammy, Ed stormed out of the diner and drove their rental car back to Cauldron Lake.
21:23To prove a point.
21:25Now standing in the dark woods, the sun hidden by the trees.
21:29Ed wished he could remember what that point was.
21:31Something about masculinity.
21:35He cursed at himself and turned to go.
21:37Suddenly, he was blinded by a light in his face.
21:41Voices shouted and hands pushed him to the ground.
21:44Ed struggled in vain.
21:53Tammy tapped her pen on her notebook.
21:55Alan Wake had ridden this same ferry into town when he arrived.
21:59This was his entry into Bright Falls.
22:01His first steps across the threshold.
22:04She wrote that down.
22:06She always found it helpful to walk in the victim's shoes.
22:09Do what they did.
22:10See what they saw.
22:11It added gray color to the book.
22:14Tammy felt raindrops on her face.
22:17God, again?
22:18She pulled up her hood.
22:20The rain just kept coming.
22:22She missed New York.
22:23So far, this hadn't been the simple research trip she pictured.
22:27First the incident at the lake, then the fight with Ed.
22:31It's not surprising tempers got hot.
22:33They were both on edge after what had happened.
22:36Tammy had said some things.
22:37Things she regretted.
22:39She looked out over the harbor.
22:41A chill passed through her.
22:43She hoped Ed wouldn't do anything stupid.
22:45Hello?
23:05I swear I brought my full kit along
23:10Jules
23:11You didn't forget to pack the EMF reader
23:13Did you
23:14Why would I pack your gear
23:16I've got my own to worry about
23:18Great
23:18Now how am I supposed to measure the energy signatures
23:22Emitted by paranormal manifestations
23:24I can't wait to hit the haunts
23:27We should check the town out first
23:29You know, do research
23:31Interview some locals
23:32Get the feel of the place
23:34Not before I find my frickin' EMF reader
23:38I'm getting some good establishing shots here
23:40Capturing the charming small town
23:43With a dark undercurrent beneath the surface vibes
23:46Bright Falls
23:48Even the name brings to mind a deceptively idyllic place
23:53I'm glad you two are enjoying the views
23:59And that wraps up my list of favorite parts
24:02Bright Falls
24:03And now, I just want to clear something up from our last broadcast
24:09There was some talk, an off-color joke of sorts
24:13About Wendy Davis of Davis Family Beef Jerky being dead
24:16Which of course is a bunch of hogwash
24:19So I'm going to give our dear friend Wendy a call
24:23So we can put an end to these silly rumors
24:26And, oh, it looks like we already have her on the phone line
24:30Wendy, hello
24:32Hi there, Pat
24:34Ah, that's not Wendy
24:36No
24:38This is Jim Figamore
24:40Remember?
24:42We were going to do the announcement today
24:43Oh, is that
24:44Was that the game?
24:47Listeners, we have Jim Figamore with us
24:50And the director of the Bright Falls Community Theater
24:53And
24:53And I'm here to announce
24:56That the theater will be losing one of its most dignified thespians
25:00As I, Jim Figamore
25:03Will be running from there
25:07Hold for applause
25:08Well, that's, uh
25:10Quite an announcement, Jim
25:12Just let me find my notes here
25:15I have some questions written down for you
25:17The real question
25:18Is what happened to this town
25:20Bright Falls used to draw in thousands of tourists
25:24With its vibrant art scene
25:26And impressive bird feeders
25:29And what's our reputation now?
25:32Haunted Bright Falls
25:34Spooky Bright Falls
25:36The world is laughing at us
25:40And now all this business with the FBI?
25:44We need a mayor who can turn this town's reputation around
25:48And nobody knows more about the role of mayor than I do
25:52I played one in the theatrical production of Fear Alone
25:55To glowing reviews by Coffee World magazine
25:59Mayor Setter is a joke
26:01And you know what?
26:03I hear he kills cats
26:04There
26:05I said it
26:07Now, Jim
26:08This is a family show
26:10Ah, I found my notes here
26:12So
26:12So why don't we pivot to some questions?
26:15First question
26:15What exactly goes into that delicious beef jerky?
26:19Right
26:21Looks like
26:22These are my questions for Wendy Davis
26:25Of Davis Family Beef Jerky
26:27The only jerk I care about is Mayor Setter
26:31Our future's at stake
26:34Pets are being murdered
26:36And it's time for a change
26:40Jim Figamore for mayor
26:44That concludes our program today
26:46Oh, I actually had more
26:48Jim Figamore and Pat Maines signing off
27:07So, I'm thinking of pre-gaming at my place before Deerfest
27:12Drinks, snacks, some charades maybe?
27:15Interested?
27:16In everything but the charades
27:18What's wrong with charades?
27:20It's fun
27:22And deer-themed
27:25This will be my 15th Deerfest
27:27I feel like that calls for some celebration
27:30Remember the time you fell off the flute?
27:33It almost got ran over
27:34Only from your stories, funnily enough
27:49Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
27:51What will become of my birds now?
27:54Where will they go?
27:55Who will feed them?
27:57Fly away
27:58Find a happier place
28:00Go while you still can
28:02And what about old Margaret?
28:05Where will I go?
28:07Who will I look after
28:08When all my little friends are gone?
28:11It's too late
28:12Too late for my birds
28:14Too late for me
28:27I know
28:28What was she even doing out there?
28:31And at that time of night?
28:34She was what?
28:36Digging at what?
28:39I'm telling you
28:39That woman's not all there
28:42Next you'll be telling me
28:43You saw her climb up the tree like a squirrel
28:45You know
28:46To hide her food
28:48Cause she's nuts
28:51I have half of mine
28:53To join you next time
28:54On that midnight run of yours
28:56Just so I can see what she's up to
28:58With her half of mine
29:01Okay
29:02I guess I should go
29:03Got work to do
29:04Or
29:06Maybe I'll grab a quick coffee
29:08From the diner
29:09See Rose in action
29:11I could even
29:13Ask her about it
29:15On the sly
29:15You know
29:16I doubt she'd even notice anything
29:18Oh
29:26Gotta remember to buy stuff
29:27For taco night
29:28Hot sauce
29:30Extra hot
29:31Show Pete who's who
29:35Watch out for the deer fast prep work
29:46How many times do I have to tell you
29:49She's gone missing
29:52Are you sure she's not just avoiding her calls?
29:55Why would she do that?
29:57I'm a lovely person
30:03An eye in the sky
30:06I don't like it
30:07It's staring at me
30:09Ah
30:11Help
30:11Turn it away
30:13Turn it away
30:15It's a little cuckoo, right?
30:17Uh
30:19More than a little
30:21What the heck is it
30:22Does the eye
30:23He keeps talking about?
30:24I don't think I want to know
30:28Better let sleeping dogs lie
30:42Mulligan and Thornton
30:43Told everyone to stay out of the basement
30:45And now
30:46They're nowhere to be found
30:48I bet they're just trying to get out of work
30:50Let's not assume the worst of our colleagues
30:53Yeah
30:53God forbid
31:06Hello
31:07How's it going?
31:28Yeah, Anderson
31:28I didn't want to say this in front of Wake
31:30But
31:31Are you sure this is a good idea?
31:34Going on your own?
31:37Assuming we believe the page
31:38I need to check this out
31:41We need to find the cult
31:43Anyone we meet here could be a member
31:46And this scratch guy
31:48The evil doppelganger?
31:51Must be true
31:52Or else this guy can't write for shit
31:56The quality of his writing aside
31:57If this page turns out to be true like the rest have
32:00This could be a breakthrough
32:03We might solve this thing before a backup even arrives
32:07Yeah, but they're taking their time
32:09So just be careful out there
32:12Meanwhile
32:14I think me and Wake will have a chat
32:16Maybe I can shake something loose
32:19Okay
32:20But remember what happened with the salt shaker
32:24Yeah, yeah, real funny
32:32The page placed me in a trailer
32:34Somewhere in Watery
32:37I should ask around
32:49The flooding is even worse here
32:53More like Underwatery
32:55I'll have to tell Casey that one later
33:02Hey
33:03What did you used to say your dream job was as a kid?
33:07My bet it wasn't dock worker
33:09I don't know about all that
33:11But
33:12Idle hands are the devil's playground
33:14So
33:15Well
33:16Us fishing types appreciate you all at least
33:20Mind giving me a hand in helping out?
33:23Uh
33:23I'm supervising the work
33:25And?
33:27And
33:28It's super
33:30Darn flooding's a real pain in the butt
33:33Language
33:40Hey
33:42Where's the time gone?
33:45There's just a Richard Husk of what used to be me left
33:50Well
33:51They say being old is just a state of mind
33:54I'd like to give them a piece of my mind
33:58Whoever said these were the golden years was full of it
34:06A vote for Mayor Setter is a vote for everyone
34:10For Watery
34:14Mayor Setter will stand up for justice
34:20Hello
34:20Do you have a second?
34:24Ah
34:25Long time and no see
34:27Miss Anderson
34:29Thor and Odin are not here
34:31They are old tricksters always sneaking off
34:35Sorry
34:36No
34:37I wanted to ask you about something else
34:40Can you point me to any trailers around here?
34:43Sure
34:45Watery Lighthouse Trailer Park
34:48Ilmu Koskel owns it
34:50Owns many things in town
34:52And where is Ilmu?
34:54I saw Ilmu and his brother at the bridge
34:57Well
34:58What used to be the bridge
35:02Do you live around here?
35:04I live in Bright Falls
35:07You've seen me around
35:08I am Mr. Blum
35:10You call me Vladimir
35:12I work at a nursing home
35:14I take care of your old people
35:17We are on day trip
35:19Music
35:19Sauna
35:20The good times
35:21I bring them here in the bus
35:22The elderly are very important
35:25And it's a very nice bus
35:28Thanks
35:36A trailer park is a good place to look for a trailer
35:39Keep it simple, Saga
35:43I need to find Ilmu Koskel
35:48Hey, how's it going?
36:01Okay then
36:03Catchy tune
36:04Excuse me
36:25I wonder if I'm the first FBI agent to ever get shushed
36:49Moosefest meets Sumi Hall
36:52Raffles, karaoke and skits
36:55Glogi, Korvapusti, and Karyalan Piraka
36:59Come one, come all
37:02Welcome to Coffee World
37:04One-of-a-kind amusement park opens in Watery
37:08I'm sure all of our readers know Ilmu Koskelia
37:12Who, with the help of his brother Yakko
37:14Has been making our small town of Watery
37:17A bustling hub with his various business ventures
37:21The latest of these
37:22Coffee World
37:23Has its grand opening just around the corner
37:26I had the chance to ask Ilmu a few questions about Coffee World
37:31Q
37:32Ilmu, what is Coffee World about?
37:35Ilmu
37:36I'm glad you asked
37:38Coffee World is the world's greatest coffee-themed amusement park for all ages
37:44And right here in our hometown of Watery
37:47It's got all the rides, thrills, and excitement you could ask for
37:52And, of course, lots of delicious fresh coffee
37:56Both hot and iced
37:58Put that in
37:59Q
38:00How did this unique business idea come about?
38:04Ilmu
38:05Well, as you know, I'm all about ideas
38:08An idealist, you could say
38:11But what's even more important to me than my many successful businesses
38:15Is our hometown
38:17With my help, we can revitalize Watery
38:21Build its economy back up
38:23Bring the tourists back in
38:25And enjoy ourselves in the process, too
38:28Coffee World is just as much for the townspeople as it is for the out-of-towners
38:34Q
38:34Which attraction should the visitors be sure not to miss?
38:39Ilmu
38:40Oh, that's like having to choose a favorite child
38:43It's impossible
38:45But the slow roaster is, of course, a wonderful ride full of mystery and magic
38:51And the Espresso Express is sure to give you a thrill
38:55Also, don't forget to drop by the Fresh Pot gift shop on your way out
39:00You never know what treasures you might find
39:03Q
39:04Coffee, at least, I bet
39:06Ilmu
39:07Yes
39:09Is this Watery's own Nessie?
39:12An anonymous source sent this photograph to our editors
39:16Claiming it was captured during the last full moon
39:19A majestic beast hidden in the depths of the water
39:23Or an elaborate prank
39:25A sea creature that defies the very laws of nature
39:29Or a fearsome monster out for blood
39:32These questions, among others, haunt our editorial team here at the Bright Falls Record
39:38After one of our avid readers sent in this mysterious photograph
39:43As evidence of an unidentified creature roaming watery's waters
39:47And making a rare but opportune appearance
39:51This titillating spotting might just be the event of the year
39:56As we dive deeper into this mystery
39:59We here at the Bright Falls Record invite all our readers to a naming competition
40:04What should our local beast be called?
40:07Watery Wanda?
40:09Shelley the sea monster?

41:3924th of November
41:422023
41:43Watery
41:44Sumi Hall
42:04Oh you rascal
42:06What are you been up to this time around?
42:08There's only so many times I can keep fixing the same hole
42:12How'd she get loose from the mooring?
42:15I hitched her up so securely
42:17I swear this vessel has a mind of its own
42:20Why would you want to sail away from me anyway, old Bodie?
42:24Don't you like me?
42:27I like you
42:32Watery's definitely quaint
42:38I bet they have good fish here
42:46I need a tool to get this open
43:09A trailer park
43:11Ilmo Cosgela
43:13He's that tour guide we met at Cauldron Lake
43:17I need to find him
43:21Mom's family was from Sweden
43:24I've always imagined it kind of like this
43:27Saunas
43:28Lakes
43:29Seems nice
43:33Enjoying the sauna?
43:34You bet
43:35The steam is amazing on my creaky old joints
43:39I'm just waiting for Artie to wrap up his show
43:43So we can crack open some beers
43:45I've read that taking a sauna is good for preventing dementia
43:48Yeah, and so is beer
43:51Ever heard of the cult of the tree?
43:53The half-deer, half-man monsters?
43:56Sure I've heard of them
43:58They're the reason I can't risk taking walks in the forest anymore
44:02If one of them shows up, how am I supposed to get away?
44:06I can't run with a bad hip
44:08I'd be killed for sure
44:10I could maybe use my crutches to defend myself
44:14Do you think that'd work?
44:16You're the professional
44:17Probably smart just to stay in the sauna for now
44:25They say if a sauna doesn't fix what ails ya
44:29You're a goner
44:31They also say silence is golden
44:35Have you heard old Pat's radio show lately?
44:38I fear he's losing his grip on reality
44:43I don't care to listen to pointless jibber-jabber
44:47Not on the radio and not in the sauna
44:50Whoa, sure is nice out here by the water
44:54Nice and quiet
45:04Whew, hot
45:23Hey, Saga! Over here!
45:28Hey, Elmo
45:29How did your walk in the woods with Steven go?
45:32Another satisfied customer
45:34I just hope he remembers to write a good review on the webpage
45:38Great to see you back in Watery, Saga
45:41Everyone in town missed you
45:43Super nice to see you again, Saga
45:45They act like they've known me for years
45:48This keeps happening
45:51You own the trailer park, right?
45:54Mind if I take a look inside?
45:57Uh, uh, yeah
45:58I'm pretty sure the owner of the Watery Lighthouse trailer park
46:01Me?
46:02Can help you with that
46:04It's good to have our funniest resident back
46:06Resident?
46:08I don't understand what you mean
46:10If this is your way of getting out of any outstanding bills
46:13Don't worry
46:14They've been handled
46:16Must be hard coming back to where you and your little girl lived
46:20It's like they remember a different reality
46:23Is the horror story messing with their memories?
46:28So what is Coffee World?
46:31You mean you haven't seen our commercial for it?
46:35Coffee World is a smooth blend of rides, food, and fun
46:38We even had a real moose
46:39Until recently
46:43Plus, right next to Coffee World is the workshop of our own Kalevala Nights motorcycle club
46:50We're busy building the floats for Deerfest
46:53Don't go peeking though
46:55You know, we're saving the big reveal for Deerfest
47:00So, your commercials
47:04They're more than commercials, Saga
47:07Our goal is to both entertain and educate local viewers about the fine products and services we provide
47:14And, uh, Yako here really comes alive in front of the camera
47:18Really?
47:19Fuck off
47:20I'm just there for the free beer
47:23Not sure what Ilmos excuse is
47:25Hey, I'm writer, producer, co-lead, director
47:30Do yourself a favor and, uh, check them all out
47:35Are you familiar with the cult of the tree?
47:38Yeah, we always thought it was an urban legend
47:41Kids drawing creepy symbols to scare each other
47:44But, uh, now it's gotten pretty damn real, huh?
47:48It's terrible what happened
47:50We're all in shock
47:52Well, we're looking into it
47:55Hoping to get things back to normal soon
47:57We're all for that
48:01As normal as it ever gets around here
48:06Profiling will help me find a way forward
48:12Elmos thinks the cult is just an urban legend
48:16Or does he?
48:17There are things that go bump in the night
48:20It's all true
48:21It's all true
48:23Sound the alarm, brother
48:26Gather the troops
48:27Brother
48:28Yako
48:28The shadow of the forest is creeping closer
48:32They don't think it's an urban legend at all
48:36They understand it's dangerous
48:41Ilmos made it sound like I lived here
48:45Does he really believe that?
48:48Light, laughter, and love will guide you home
48:51Saga and her daughter
48:52Oh boy
48:54Happy faces raise poverty value
48:57Family comes first, Ilma
48:59We take care of her trailer while she's gone
49:02She's one of us, Yako
49:04Her spear key is safe and sound
49:08The Koskala brothers have happy memories of me living here
49:12This must be the story affecting them
49:15I'll play along for now
49:17I need the key to that trailer
49:35Wake says the story will change reality around us
49:38If that's true, then I need to know what's real
49:41And what's fiction
49:58Ha ha ha
50:00Ha ha ha
50:14All joking aside
50:16Yes
50:17I would like to see my trailer
50:19Do you have a spare set of keys?
50:21Good for you
50:23Yeah, I have a spare set
50:24They're just over at Coffee World
50:27I'll get them for you
50:28But Yako and I have to head to Broad Falls
50:30The spare keys are in the gift shop safe
50:33I'll call ahead and have someone get them out for you
50:37Oh, the road's flooded
50:38But if you just follow this trail behind me
50:41It'll lead you there
50:44Call the gift shop so they can give Sawgye a hand
50:47Yep
50:58Nothing?
50:59What am I paying them for?
51:01Guess they're busy
51:02Ay, vito, vito
51:04Well, after they finally pick up
51:06We really need to get over to Broad Falls for that, uh, thing
51:11Yep
51:12Must be busy at the park
51:14These are off-peak hours, Yako
51:16They're just slacking
51:25The Cascales think I lived in the trailer park
51:28With Logan
51:30The story really is changing people's memories
51:34Why aren't mine affected?
51:42The spare key is at Coffee World
51:44First the witches at the diner
51:46Now the Cascales
51:47They all think Logan and I used to live here
51:50Wake said the horror story would make people crazy
51:53Like they're being brainwashed to believe the story
51:56Is it spreading?
51:59Is it spreading?
52:01Flooding did this?
52:04Was humanity really meant to cross this river?
52:08Or any obstacle for that matter
52:12Building bridges
52:13Burning bridges
52:17Just like my marriage
52:21What's the point?
52:23Bridges are built so they can fall down
52:27People come into your life so they can leave
52:31We're all born so we can die
52:50There's Coffee World
52:52Need to get across the river
53:02What was that?
53:08Fuck!
53:15FBI, show yourself!
53:50FBI, show yourself!
53:56More people turning into Taken
53:59As is the cult
54:01Or the story
54:02Or both
54:52Saga was beginning
54:53To see why Casey disliked the woods so much
54:55They felt oppressive here
54:57Too many places to hide
54:59The distorted carnival music
55:01Drifting from the amusement park ahead
55:03Did not help
55:05What the Cascolas had said
55:06About her living in Watery with Logan
55:08Unsettled her
55:09For the horror story to involve her
55:11Was one thing
55:12But involving her daughter
55:14Was crossing a line
55:16Something darted across the path ahead
55:18Too fast to see
55:20Saga drew a weapon
55:21Her eyes searched the woods
55:23A noise overhead
55:25Saga swiveled to look
55:27A local
55:28A man on the ridge above her
55:29No
55:30Not a man
55:31A monster with a hatchet in each hand
55:34It shouted down at her
55:36Hunting season was a bust
55:39There's another cult stash
55:42Hey
55:42If you take the crossbow out
55:44Put it back in the stash
55:46When you're done
55:46P.S.
55:47I changed the code
55:48As asked
56:18If you are
56:19If you aren't wearing the mask
56:20This does not belong to you
56:38Another rhyme
56:57The gentle beast
56:59With a beautiful crown
57:01Runs through the woods
57:03With a worried frown
57:05From the hunter
57:06He flees
57:07Between the mighty trees
57:09To make it out alive
57:15Huh
57:40What the hell
57:44A charm
58:06What had kept watery afloat all these years
58:09A century
58:10A century if not more
58:11The locals knew the answer
58:14Grit
58:15Or as they put it in the language
58:17Of their Finnish forefathers
58:18Sisu
58:20These days
58:21Sisu was kneed more than ever
58:23The town was fading
58:24It never quite recovered
58:26From the lumber mill
58:27Shutting its doors
58:28Now the fishing
58:29Was drying up as well
58:31Most people had left
58:33To find jobs
58:33In other towns
58:35Only the most tenacious
58:36Stubbornly remained
58:38Dug in
58:40Parasites
58:40In the body
58:41Of a terminal patient
58:43Sisu
58:44Some people tried to
58:46Resuscitate the town
58:47The Koskala brothers
58:49Double-handedly
58:49Warded off the impending
58:51Darkness
58:51With their ventures
58:52Coffee world
58:54Brought tourists
58:55Money and jobs
58:56Coffee themed
58:58Fun for all ages
58:59The Kalevala Knights
59:01Motorcycle club
59:02Built parade floats
59:03The bikers
59:04Repaired vehicles
59:05And volunteered locally
59:07But it wouldn't be enough
59:09Watering needed a miracle
59:11The end of the road
59:12Was in sight
59:13And was coming fast
