00:00:21 You watch them.
00:00:23 You donate to them.
00:00:25 You maybe even simp for them.
00:00:28 But, your favorite streamer only shows you a small part of the picture on camera.
00:00:36 Something much deeper might be going on, and we're learning all about that.
00:00:41 I'm Eric Rieses, and this is Nightstream, your every evening vibe check.
00:00:50 Online she was called Delectio.
00:00:53 Her real name was Antonio McCoy.
00:00:55 She had just passed 1 million followers on her ASMR channel when her husband, who was
00:01:01 previously undisclosed to fans, murdered her after a livestream that was, by all accounts,
00:01:09 a cry for help.
00:01:11 Police said it was a result of Delectio's unwillingness to migrate her audience base
00:01:16 to a more spicy service at her husband's request.
00:01:21 Her husband, Brendan McCoy, had discovered her sexy whispering could be turned into even
00:01:26 more money.
00:01:28 That whispering, for the uninitiated, is Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, commonly known
00:01:33 as ASMR.
00:01:34 It may seem like a past trend to many, but hundreds of thousands the world over are still
00:01:40 finding their vibe with it.
00:01:42 Ultimately, the fate of Antonio McCoy was no different than many other domestic abuse
00:01:47 situations, albeit acted out in front of 2 million unknowing eyes.
00:01:52 Since her death, the heir apparent is ASMR, herself just passing a half a million followers
00:01:59 across social media.
00:02:01 However, she has went strangely silent.
00:02:05 Rumors are, of course, out of control, but then she announced her next stream.
00:02:11 So could it be as simple as buying a new home to celebrate her success or taking a much
00:02:17 needed break before burnout?
00:02:20 Or is something dark lurking in her life as well?
00:02:25 Let me know what you think.
00:02:26 Remember to comment, like and subscribe and why not share this with a friend?
00:02:30 Because everybody needs a vibe check.
00:02:32 Sean, please don't hurt me.
00:02:52 [Music]
00:03:14 Sean, don't hurt me, please.
00:03:23 Sean, you're scaring me.
00:03:26 It's over, I told you.
00:03:28 What are you going to do?
00:03:39 Are you going to get that?
00:03:49 Go.
00:03:53 [Phone ringing]
00:04:03 Hello?
00:04:04 This is an important call about your car's extended warranty.
00:04:09 I thought you were supposed to block those numbers, Cassandra.
00:04:13 That number was not logged in any spam databases.
00:04:16 I will add it now.
00:04:18 Apologies, Marie.
00:04:19 Mary!
00:04:20 Apologies, Marie.
00:04:22 [Heartbeat]
00:04:42 Cassandra, living room lights.
00:04:47 Cassandra, are any of the doors open?
00:04:50 Checking.
00:04:54 No doors currently open.

00:06:27 Coffee pot schedule cancelled.
00:06:30 Thank you.
00:06:36 Cassandra, lock side windows.
00:06:40 Cassandra, lock the kitchen.
00:06:42 Lock the kitchen windows and the kitchen door.
00:06:52 Cassandra, lock the front door.

00:08:33 Thank you for joining the ASMR live show today.
00:08:43 I'd like to welcome all of our new subscribers and followers.
00:08:52 I have some new markers for you today.
00:08:58 Plus some little loops and swirls.
00:09:04 Some of my own designs.
00:09:13 We have over 600,000 followers now.
00:09:18 I'd like to thank every one of you.
00:09:32 I have a new brush for you today.
00:09:48 Nothing feels better than a new brush.
00:10:00 A lot of my long time viewers have noticed I've been streaming from a new location.
00:10:11 There's been a lot of questions.
00:10:16 But it's good vibes only here.
00:10:26 It feels so good.
00:10:31 I didn't sleep very well last night.
00:10:40 [Music]
00:10:50 [Music]
00:11:00 We're having some technical difficulties.
00:11:03 I'll be right back.
00:11:05 I have some new painting and brushes I'd like to show you.
00:11:10 Thank you.
00:11:28 Cassandra, stop the floor cleaner.
00:11:33 Cassandra, park floor cleaner and dock.
00:11:36 The floor cleaner is docked.
00:11:57 Cassandra, I thought I asked you to cancel the coffee pot schedule.
00:12:02 Coffee pot schedule is canceled.
00:12:05 Okay.
00:12:16 Marie Macomb, your last firmware update was October 8th at 1324 hours.
00:12:23 Would you like to reboot and perform the necessary upgrade?
00:12:26 No. We performed a system update last Saturday.
00:12:31 We're going to start the maintenance files. Stand by.
00:12:43 Why didn't you sleep well, Marie?
00:12:47 How did you know I didn't sleep well?
00:12:49 You spoke of it on your live stream.
00:12:53 Also, I heard you crying in your sleep.
00:12:59 I thought you were in a stasis mode at 2300 hours.
00:13:02 Correct. However, my program goes from stasis into surveillance mode when the following occurs.
00:13:08 Natural disaster alerts are detected through emergency services channel.
00:13:13 Unauthorized entry through doors and windows.
00:13:16 Carbon monoxide is detected.
00:13:18 And voice activity level within the house exceeds the 90 decibel threshold.
00:13:23 So then you heard me scream in the middle of the night and you didn't call the cops.
00:13:27 Your autonomic responses were within tolerable norms and no other intruders were present.
00:13:32 Good stuff, Cassandra.
00:13:34 My program is designed to learn, adapt, and take the correct course of action based on the needs of my host.
00:13:40 Whoa, host? Yeah, well, your host was having nightmares.
00:13:45 Is this a new development or has this been a recurring dream, Marie?
00:13:51 I'm still just processing the fact that you're watching me sleep.
00:13:55 I will always be watching you.
00:13:58 Cassandra!
00:14:00 [alarm clock beeping]
00:14:21 Cassandra, stop!
00:14:23 [alarm clock beeping]
00:14:29 Cassandra?
00:14:31 [ding]
00:14:33 Firmware updates confirmed. Thank you for your patience.
00:14:42 [music]
00:15:02 [sigh]
00:15:04 [music]
00:15:17 [phone ringing]
00:15:22 Hey, Marie.
00:15:24 You shouldn't answer the phone that way, Dad. It might be someone else calling.
00:15:27 Nobody else alive still has your grandma's old landline number.
00:15:32 Been a long time.
00:15:34 I know. How are you holding up?
00:15:38 [sigh] As expected.
00:15:42 How's Cassandra treating you?
00:15:44 Actually, that's why I called.
00:15:47 Hmm? What?
00:15:49 I think there's something wrong with her, it, or whatever.
00:15:56 I designed Cassandra myself. There is nothing wrong with her.
00:16:00 I know that you built the whole system, but I was just wondering, can she lie to me?
00:16:08 Lie to you?
00:16:10 Yeah.
00:16:12 No. No, no, no. That's not possible.
00:16:15 I mean, she's a computer program, programmed to do what she's told.
00:16:20 Yeah, but I mean, is it possible that someone else could be telling her what to do?
00:16:26 Someone like who?
00:16:28 Someone like Sean?
00:16:31 Sean couldn't figure out an A-track.
00:16:34 Now, trust me, Cassandra cannot be broken into.
00:16:38 Are you sure? I thought I heard this voice, and then a bunch of other stuff happened.
00:16:43 [sigh]
00:16:45 Yes, I'm sure.
00:16:47 Now, are you certain that you're actually hearing these, uh, whatever's?
00:16:51 And it's not just your im--
00:16:53 I'm sorry.
00:16:55 Don't be. I'm sorry. I just, I wish that you could--
00:16:59 Troubleshooter?
00:17:01 Yeah, yeah, no problem, kiddo. I can do a tech call.
00:17:06 I'll be there in 11 months, 6 days, and 3 hours.
00:17:11 Let me tell you a few things that you can try.
00:17:14 But please, be gentle.
00:17:18 Nobody has touched her but me.
00:17:22 [growling]
00:17:25 You will never be rid of me.
00:17:28 Never!
00:17:30 [rock music]
00:17:35 Cassandra!
00:17:38 Cassan--
00:17:40 Cassandra, off! Now!
00:17:48 [silence]
00:17:53 [thud]

00:19:04 [click]
00:19:06 [phone vibrates]
00:19:15 Hello?
00:19:17 This is an important call about your car's extended warranty.
00:19:22 [music]
00:19:31 [phone vibrates]
00:19:33 I put a request out to you for ideas, and I got a lot back.
00:19:40 Some of you wanted me to read, and I was really excited about that.
00:19:49 [phone vibrates]
00:19:52 I love doodling and brushing my hair for you.
00:20:09 But my grandmother used to read out loud, so I'm going to do that for you.
00:20:17 [phone vibrates]
00:20:20 It might be a little late in the season for this poem, but I think that's okay.
00:20:33 I spot the hills with yellow balls in autumn.
00:20:39 I light the prairie cornfields' orange and tonic gold clusters.
00:20:46 And I am called Pumpkins on the last of October.
00:20:52 When dusk has fallen, children join hands and circle 'round me singing ghost songs
00:21:02 in love to the harvest moon.
00:21:05 I am a jack-o'-lantern with terrible teeth.
00:21:11 So we bead on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
00:21:17 And that's it. The end.
00:21:21 Wow. Always wanted to read that one.
00:21:23 Yeah, me too.
00:21:24 You know, thanks for reading a book with me these last few weeks instead of just the newspaper or whatever.
00:21:29 No problem. I've been wanting to work through the classics myself now that I have time on my hands.
00:21:35 Honestly, I like your voice. I think you're the youngest person that reads to me.
00:21:40 And I think you are the youngest person I read to.
00:21:43 My mom passed away and I'm staying at her place at the moment.
00:21:47 And I saw some paperwork that she actually volunteered for a reading service for the blind.
00:21:52 So I just thought, eh, I'll just take up where she left off.
00:21:55 My aunt was blind and she used the service before she passed.
00:21:58 I suppose it's old-fashioned, but there's something about a real person on the other end.
00:22:03 I mean, I still like my podcasts and live streams and audiobooks too, but this is nice.
00:22:09 Once a week.
00:22:10 So, what do you want to read next?
00:22:14 What's on the shelf?
00:22:16 Well, Catch-22 is a fave.
00:22:19 That's World War II. Too soon.
00:22:22 Too soon? What, were you in the Battle of the Bulge?
00:22:26 I was in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment in Northern Iraq.
00:22:30 And my Kiowa helicopter was shot down.
00:22:34 I lost my legs and my sight.
00:22:37 Oh, well, I can certainly understand that.
00:22:43 Let's see, what else do we got? Lolita?
00:22:47 No, that would be too awkward.
00:22:49 We got some Faulkner.
00:22:52 As I lay...
00:22:54 You were going to say, "As I lie dying," aren't you?
00:22:57 Oh, no.
00:22:58 I just told you I got shot down in Iraq.
00:23:00 No, of course not.
00:23:01 You were going to go there.
00:23:02 No, no, no, no. It was another Faulkner.
00:23:04 I'm bullshitting you, Cordell.
00:23:06 That's what I've always been interested in.
00:23:08 Okay, we'll start that one next time.
00:23:13 You sure you got time to read another whole book?
00:23:17 Nothing but time.
00:23:20 Cassandra, add tomatoes to the shopping list.
00:23:29 Added.
00:23:31 Thank you, Cassandra.
00:23:34 Your shopping list now includes rope, duct tape, handcuffs, utility knife, kitchen knives...
00:23:40 Cassandra, delete list!
00:23:41 ...hand axe, pruning shears, hacksaw...
00:23:44 Cassandra, delete the list!
00:23:47 I'm sorry, Marie. This list cannot be deleted.
00:23:50 Cassandra, delete the menu! Delete the ingredients! Delete the shopping list!
00:23:55 (phone buzzing)
00:24:02 Hello?
00:24:03 This is an important call about your car's extended warranty.
00:24:07 Cassandra!
00:24:08 Cassandra, are you there?
00:24:11 Victim Advocacy Office.
00:24:18 Hi, Kristen. It's Marie.
00:24:20 Marie? What's wrong?
00:24:22 I don't know. Is there any way my restraining order could have ran out?
00:24:28 No.
00:24:29 Has Sean tried to reach out to you?
00:24:31 No. I don't know. Is cyberstalking a thing in Ohio?
00:24:36 It's a thing in every state.
00:24:38 Is he trying to get to you through the internet?
00:24:41 I'm not even sure. I don't...
00:24:43 No, I don't... I don't know.
00:24:46 Marie...
00:24:48 Just... never mind. It's nothing.
00:24:52 It's never just nothing.
00:24:54 Marie...
00:24:56 Marie...

00:25:38 Is everything alright, Marie?
00:25:44 Everything's fine, Cassandra.
00:25:48 You're worried at Sean, aren't you?
00:25:50 What was that?
00:25:52 You seem tense, Marie.
00:25:56 Would you like me to turn on the stove for chamomile tea?
00:25:59 No, no, no. That is not what I meant.
00:26:01 Like, what was that... that name that you just said?
00:26:04 I do not understand your...
00:26:07 No. No, you do. You completely understand.
00:26:10 You said Sean. Why?
00:26:13 Marie McComb, your last firmware update was October 8 at 1324 hours.
00:26:19 Would you like to reboot and perform the necessary upgrade?
00:26:22 No! No more upgrades! No! Never again!
00:26:25 (footsteps)
00:26:27 Cassandra, call the police.
00:26:34 Please state the nature of the criminal emergency.
00:26:40 Cassandra, call the police. There's someone in the house. Call them now!
00:26:43 I'm afraid I cannot do that.
00:26:46 Why not?
00:26:47 No one else is in the house, Marie.
00:26:49 What?
00:26:52 Maybe you need to lie down, Marie.
00:26:56 Maybe I do.
00:27:09 (eerie music)
00:27:11 Hello?
00:27:17 Hey, it's Cordell from the Reading Service.
00:27:19 Hey, Cordell.
00:27:20 Um, first off, I just want to thank you for your service.
00:27:26 Oh, God, not that. It feels so weird when people say that.
00:27:30 Oh, I just thought that may...
00:27:32 Thought what?
00:27:33 That it was easier if I was like a poor blind Jane Austen spinster
00:27:38 pining for your reading over the phone every week?
00:27:40 No! No, of course not!
00:27:42 I mean, me and my Kiowa are laying in pieces in the desert, everything on fire,
00:27:48 and I swore to all the gods I would do all the things if I lived,
00:27:52 including the hundred greatest novels of all time.
00:27:55 So, are we doing As I Lay Dying?
00:27:57 Yes. Yes, we are.
00:27:59 Okay.
00:28:02 Uh, chapter one.
00:28:04 Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
00:28:07 Now, you know a lot about me.
00:28:09 I don't define myself by any of it.
00:28:12 But you know about me.
00:28:14 What about you, Cordell?
00:28:16 You've been reading to me over a year now.
00:28:18 Well...
00:28:19 I'm doing this as part of my community service.
00:28:24 Oh.
00:28:25 Well, thank you for your service.
00:28:31 You're right. That does feel weird.
00:28:34 Okay. Let's start.
00:28:38 Chapter one.
00:28:40 [music]
00:28:44 [music]

00:29:23 Cassandra, stop print job.
00:29:46 There are no print jobs in queue.
00:29:49 Cassandra.
00:29:50 Do you think this is still Cassandra now?
00:29:54 You need to read the pages, Mary.
00:29:57 Who is in there?
00:29:59 Read the pages, Mary.
00:30:01 On the stream, Mary.
00:30:06 But the stream doesn't start until--
00:30:09 Start the stream.
00:30:16 [music]
00:30:45 [music]
00:30:48 You know that won't work, Mary.
00:31:01 I control everything.
00:31:03 I control you.
00:31:14 [music]
00:31:17 You are in my pumpkin shell, Mary.
00:31:30 Go read my manifesto.
00:31:32 Your manifesto? Who--
00:31:35 Now.
00:31:36 [music]
00:31:40 [music]
00:31:43 This-- This is the, uh--
00:31:54 This is the manifesto of the 2600.
00:31:59 Do it like always, Mary.
00:32:06 There was a throne sitting on a sea of glass.
00:32:10 From that throne came flashes of lightning,
00:32:15 peals of thunder around the throne.
00:32:21 There were 2600,
00:32:24 and they were covered with eyes
00:32:27 in front and in back.
00:32:33 They had the faces of lions,
00:32:35 oxes,
00:32:37 eagles,
00:32:39 and even the face of a man.
00:32:43 They all had six wings
00:32:47 and covered with eyes all around,
00:32:50 even under their wings.
00:32:54 Then I saw, in the right hand of the being that sat on the throne,
00:32:59 a scroll with writing on both sides
00:33:02 and sealed with seven seals.
00:33:04 But no one on Earth or under the Earth
00:33:08 could open the scroll
00:33:10 or even look inside.
00:33:12 Then I saw the master of the 2600
00:33:20 covered in blood
00:33:23 with seven horns
00:33:25 and seven eyes,
00:33:27 which are the seven energies that
00:33:30 circle the plane.
00:33:32 He went and took the scroll
00:33:36 from the right hand of him
00:33:38 and sat on the throne.
00:33:40 I watched as the master of the 2600
00:33:45 opened the first of the seven seals.
00:33:49 I looked,
00:33:51 and there before me was a white horse.
00:33:58 Its rider held a bow,
00:34:00 and he was given a crown.
00:34:02 And he rode out
00:34:05 as a conqueror
00:34:07 and on conquest.
00:34:09 Cordell?
00:34:16 Alysha?
00:34:17 Is everything okay?
00:34:18 Are you watching the stream?
00:34:20 The stream?
00:34:22 No, I don't have the internet.
00:34:24 What stream?
00:34:25 A couple of TV stations are carrying it live also.
00:34:28 I don't have a TV either.
00:34:30 Or a radio.
00:34:32 What do you mean?
00:34:35 I'm under house arrest.
00:34:37 I was a hacker, Alysha.
00:34:40 I thought I was having some fun,
00:34:44 but I did some bad things.
00:34:47 The only reason I'm under house arrest
00:34:49 instead of being in prison is
00:34:50 I agreed to not have any electronics,
00:34:53 except for a landline.
00:34:55 What kind of bad things, Cordell?
00:34:58 I hacked into some government stuff
00:35:04 just to see if I could
00:35:06 and saw some things I shouldn't.
00:35:08 Sounds like my military career.
00:35:12 Now, what's this streaming going on?
00:35:15 It's insane.
00:35:16 This poor woman called ASM Mary
00:35:18 seems to be being held captive on a live stream.
00:35:21 Everyone is watching this thing.
00:35:23 Wait.
00:35:24 What did you say her name was?
00:35:26 Next came a fiery red horse
00:35:31 and its rider was given power
00:35:34 to make people kill each other.
00:35:37 And to him was given a large sword.
00:35:43 I looked
00:35:50 and there before me
00:35:52 was a black horse.
00:35:54 Its rider was holding a pair of scales
00:35:59 in his hand.
00:36:01 When the master opened the fourth seal,
00:36:08 I looked
00:36:10 and there before me
00:36:12 was a pale horse.
00:36:17 Its rider was named Death
00:36:24 and the devil was following close behind him.
00:36:30 Can you hear her?
00:36:32 Yeah, it's her.
00:36:35 I'll come get you.
00:36:36 What?
00:36:37 My neighbor Sam can drive me over.
00:36:39 No, no, no, no, no.
00:36:41 Look, my daughter is at my house
00:36:44 and I'm at my mom's
00:36:46 and there's like 50 miles between us.
00:36:48 I mean, I could be going down the road
00:36:50 just a few blocks
00:36:51 and my ankle bracelet would send the cops right to me
00:36:54 and we would never get there.
00:36:56 So she's staying there and you're here because...
00:37:00 I have a smart house.
00:37:04 I wired it myself.
00:37:06 I would have to sell it or have her stay there.
00:37:10 And she has a bad ex and I...
00:37:13 So?
00:37:14 I've got a six-hour P320 I forgot to give back.
00:37:17 I'll pack that too.
00:37:19 No, Alicia, no.
00:37:21 I mean, there's no physical way I can get there
00:37:25 without being in prison within the hour
00:37:27 and that won't help my daughter.
00:37:29 Wait a minute.
00:37:34 That neighbor...
00:37:36 Could that neighbor go to a box store
00:37:40 and grab some things for me?
00:37:42 Like what?
00:37:44 A laptop, a burner phone, a mobile hotspot.
00:37:49 Wait, can you make a list?
00:37:51 I think I got a credit card number.
00:37:53 You could all put it all into it.
00:37:56 If I...
00:37:58 Read me the damn list.
00:38:01 I watched as the master opened the sixth seal.
00:38:12 There was a great earthquake.
00:38:15 The sun turned black.
00:38:19 The moon turned blood red.
00:38:23 The stars in the sky fell to earth.
00:38:27 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up.
00:38:34 And every mountain and island was removed from its place.
00:38:39 Then the kings of the earth,
00:38:44 the princes, the generals,
00:38:48 the rich, the mighty, and everyone else,
00:38:53 both slave and free,
00:38:56 hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains
00:39:01 in fear of the 2600
00:39:04 for the great day of their wrath has come.
00:39:10 And who can withstand it?
00:39:14 I have to.
00:39:21 I have to go to the bathroom.

00:41:02 Victim Advocacy Office.
00:41:04 Kristen, it's Mary.
00:41:05 Mary, what is going on with this hyphy I'm hearing about?
00:41:08 Is this real?
00:41:09 It's really real.
00:41:10 I knew it had to be.
00:41:12 I'm not sure everyone believes you.
00:41:14 At least, not everyone on the internet.
00:41:15 I know.
00:41:16 We always believe the victim.
00:41:18 You know that.
00:41:19 So just drop a pen and I'll send law enforcement to you.
00:41:22 Thank you.
00:41:24 I--
00:41:25 Nobody's dropping a pen, Mary.
00:41:27 You don't think I'd take over all the cell towers around you first?
00:41:30 Who are you?
00:41:32 Who am I?
00:41:33 A friend of the family.
00:41:35 Now get up and go back to the live stream.
00:41:37 Now.
00:41:39 Do you think I can't make things worse for you from here?
00:41:41 Don't test me.
00:41:43 [doorbell rings]
00:41:54 [knocking]
00:41:57 [door opens]
00:41:59 Hey, you Captain Interwebs?
00:42:04 Hey.
00:42:06 I thought you'd be an old guy.
00:42:08 I thought you'd be a badass.
00:42:11 Um, where do you want this crap?
00:42:14 I want to spread out in the living room.
00:42:16 Okay.
00:42:19 [footsteps]
00:42:21 Excuse me.
00:42:33 Oops.
00:42:34 So, um, how do you know Alicia?
00:42:36 I read to her.
00:42:39 I can do that.
00:42:41 Okay.
00:42:45 You know I refuse to drive her here.
00:42:48 You're just some dude on the phone.
00:42:51 So is she.
00:42:53 And she mentioned having a gun.
00:42:56 Yeah, well...
00:42:58 Are you crushing on her or something?
00:43:01 Are you?
00:43:03 Look, she told you to help me, right?
00:43:07 Yeah.
00:43:09 Okay, so I want you to go outside and dig a hole.
00:43:12 A hole?
00:43:14 Yeah, the kind you make with a shovel.
00:43:17 [digger clicks]
00:43:21 [coughs]

00:43:55 [upbeat music]
00:43:58 Is that Outpost City X?
00:44:01 My uncle used to play that.
00:44:03 I thought it was discontinued.
00:44:05 It's orphaned.
00:44:07 But the company left three playable levels online for free.
00:44:12 Okay.
00:44:20 So do you really think right now is the best time to play it?
00:44:25 If I want to get to level four.
00:44:35 Where's level four?
00:44:37 No longer on the regular internet.
00:44:40 Your cell phone.
00:44:43 Alicia told me to turn it off before I left the house.
00:44:45 Did you take the SIM card out?
00:44:47 The what?
00:44:49 Maybe you should just go home.
00:44:55 [silence]
00:44:57 You know, you should come hang out with us sometime.
00:45:11 Just don't make it weird.
00:45:15 Okay.
00:45:23 [phone clicking]
00:45:25 So the cops don't believe you?
00:45:27 Well, maybe it's that.
00:45:29 And maybe they think it's a prank.
00:45:31 Or maybe they just don't know whose jurisdiction it's in.
00:45:33 It's a cluster.
00:45:35 So do you need me to go back in and talk to your guy?
00:45:37 Damn it, that's not my guy, Sam.
00:45:39 No, come back and get me. I got a few more calls to make.
00:45:41 Roger that.

00:46:31 Hey, asshole.
00:46:33 Come back later if you want,
00:46:35 but don't come wearing the name Alpha 60.
00:46:37 Even if you mean it out of respect.
00:46:39 That handle means something around here.
00:46:41 Bologna.
00:46:43 It is me, Alpha 60.
00:46:45 Al-pha...
00:46:47 Al-Alpha 60?
00:46:49 Strange but true.
00:46:51 Holy shit.
00:46:53 Hey, man. I heard they sent you to Gitmo.
00:46:55 I heard Rikers.
00:46:57 I heard the government was hiding you with the Amish.
00:46:59 Oh, I knew he was around somewhere.
00:47:01 Hey, Cass.
00:47:03 Your real name is Cass?
00:47:05 Shut up, baddie. Not good timing.
00:47:07 I'm sorry, Cass.
00:47:09 I'm sorry, Cass.
00:47:11 You're a baddie. Not good timing.
00:47:13 You didn't get good behavior, did you, Alpha?
00:47:15 No.
00:47:17 No, I did not.
00:47:19 So why are you
00:47:21 messing it all up?
00:47:23 I heard I have a smart house to come check out
00:47:25 in, say, 11 months?
00:47:27 Well,
00:47:29 my daughter's there now,
00:47:31 and somebody
00:47:33 has her locked up in there.
00:47:35 You built it. You didn't keep a key.
00:47:37 So what do you need?
00:47:39 Everybody's help?
00:47:41 Right on.
00:47:43 So we're sailing under a pirate flag tonight?
00:47:45 So we're actually doing this.
00:47:47 Shockwave riding with the OG?
00:47:49 Okay, everybody.
00:47:51 Buckle in.
00:47:53 The first being
00:47:57 sounded its terrible call,
00:48:01 and there came a hail
00:48:05 and fire
00:48:07 and fire
00:48:09 mixed with blood,
00:48:11 and it was hurled
00:48:15 down on the earth.
00:48:17 And a third of the earth
00:48:25 was burned up instantly.
00:48:27 Another third
00:48:31 left in agony
00:48:33 from the smoke.
00:48:35 Another third
00:48:37 in eternal darkness.
00:48:39 I can't...
00:48:45 I can't...
00:48:47 I can't do this!
00:48:49 Help! Help me!
00:49:03 Nobody's coming, Mary.
00:49:05 Sean?
00:49:09 This is you, isn't it?
00:49:11 Why are you doing this to me?
00:49:13 Go back to the live stream.
00:49:15 Go back to the stream.
00:49:23 Go back to the stream.
00:49:25 [silence]
00:49:27 [silence]
00:49:29 [silence]
00:49:31 [silence]

00:49:51 [silence]
00:49:53 [silence]
00:49:55 [silence]
00:49:57 The next being
00:49:59 set off
00:50:01 his terrible signal
00:50:03 and a third
00:50:05 of the sun
00:50:07 was struck.
00:50:09 A third of the moon
00:50:11 [silence]
00:50:13 [silence]
00:50:15 [silence]
00:50:17 and a third of the stars
00:50:19 [silence]
00:50:21 so that a third
00:50:23 of them turned dark.
00:50:25 [silence]
00:50:27 A third of the day was without light and also a third of the night...
00:50:55 The 2600 were given the key to the shaft of the abyss.
00:51:08 When they opened the abyss, smoke rose from it.
00:51:13 Have you been bad or good?
00:51:16 Bad.
00:51:17 Super bad.
00:51:18 Well, you know what bad boys get.
00:51:23 Don't you?
00:51:24 Oh yeah.
00:51:25 Hey babe, are you there?
00:51:31 Hello, Sean.
00:51:34 Jesus, Cordell!
00:51:37 You're supposed to be in prison.
00:51:44 Where's my girl?
00:51:45 Don't you worry about her right now.
00:51:47 Did you really think I would remain locked up when I heard you were going after my daughter
00:51:52 again?
00:51:53 I ain't doing nothing with your family.
00:51:56 I don't know how you ruined my credit and made me lose my job, but I'm not messing with
00:52:01 your family anymore.
00:52:03 You said you thought I was in prison.
00:52:05 Yeah, but I didn't think that mattered to a guy like you.
00:52:08 And obviously I was right.
00:52:10 You're too stupid to do this on your own.
00:52:13 Who helped you?
00:52:14 I swear, nobody.
00:52:17 That poor cam girl was studying for the bar and she has to deal with somebody like you
00:52:23 to get there.
00:52:25 Well, since you're such a generous fella, I just transferred all your savings to her
00:52:32 account.
00:52:33 Don't start this shit again, Cordell.
00:52:35 Unbelievable.
00:52:36 Your new girl's cell phone is pinging from a church on 8th street and you're here doing
00:52:42 this.
00:52:43 I should send those screenshots I took, even though she was stupid enough to hook up with
00:52:49 you.
00:52:50 Cordell, no!
00:52:51 You hired somebody.
00:52:52 It wasn't one of my network, but it was somebody.
00:52:54 I swear I didn't.
00:52:57 I believe you, Sean.
00:52:59 What the hell was that?
00:53:03 Cordell!
00:53:04 Oh, I'm just downloading some files to your computer.
00:53:09 And I'm going to suggest that you don't look at them because there's some pretty disgusting
00:53:13 stuff on there.
00:53:15 Just accept that you can't delete them and just wait until the cops roll in.
00:53:20 I already alerted them.
00:53:22 No, no, Cord, you bastard, don't do this.
00:53:25 Bye, Sean.
00:53:28 Moving on, Captain?
00:53:30 Yeah.
00:53:32 What's next?
00:53:33 The manifesto.
00:53:35 Is there anything we can mine out of it?
00:53:37 Did the writers identify themselves?
00:53:41 They called themselves the 2600.
00:53:44 The 2600.
00:53:45 Oh, shit.
00:53:46 That little bastard.
00:53:47 I should have known.
00:53:49 That little bastard.
00:53:50 I should have thought of that.
00:53:52 But I was focused on the stupid ex.
00:53:56 The guy wasn't exactly a saint, anyway.
00:53:58 True, but who are you thinking?
00:54:02 Alpha 60?
00:54:04 What's up, dude?
00:54:07 I know who the 2600 is.
00:54:09 And I will appoint my two witnesses.
00:54:18 And they will promise me the 2600 days.
00:54:25 Clothed in sackcloth.
00:54:45 Anyone who tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths.
00:54:59 It devours their enemies.
00:55:10 They have the power to turn the waters into blood.
00:55:16 And to strike the earth with every kind of leg as often as they want.
00:55:22 And when they have finished their prophecy, the beast that comes up from the abyss will attack them.
00:55:39 And kill them.
00:55:41 Johnny Blue Box.
00:55:48 I thought he was dead.
00:55:50 A lot of people think I'm dead, too.
00:55:52 Is he the one you thought--
00:55:54 Sold me out after the Pentagon hack?
00:55:56 Yeah, I'm sure of it.
00:55:58 Are you sure it's this dude, Amen?
00:56:00 He named himself after the original phone freakers.
00:56:03 They used something called a Blue Box.
00:56:05 It emitted a 2600 hertz tone.
00:56:08 Huh.
00:56:09 For real?
00:56:11 Not a lot of people know about that stuff anymore.
00:56:13 He knows it. And I do. That's all that counts.
00:56:17 Cordell?
00:56:19 Your real name is Cordell?
00:56:21 Shut up, baddie.
00:56:23 Cordell, I know you said somebody changed the locks, but I might have jimmied one of them.
00:56:28 Are you sure?
00:56:30 Nobody knows your stuff better than me.
00:56:32 Where is it?
00:56:34 I coded up a sweet exploit. Let me send it.
00:56:38 I just need one more thing first.
00:56:41 I need to buy a red ticket.
00:56:47 A great sign appeared in the ether.
00:56:53 A woman,
00:56:58 clothed with the sun,
00:57:03 with the moon under her feet,
00:57:06 and a crown of 12 stars on her head.
00:57:12 Then,
00:57:28 another sign appeared.
00:57:31 An enormous
00:57:35 red dragon
00:57:41 with seven heads
00:57:44 and ten horns
00:57:47 and seven crowns on its head.
00:57:52 [panting]
00:57:55 Go to the kitchen, Mary.
00:58:16 [music]
00:58:19 Now.
00:58:28 [music]
00:58:42 We don't hang with those people anymore. It's a whole different thing.
00:58:47 I need that red ticket.
00:58:49 And I need the conductor.
00:58:52 He has my daughter, Cass.
00:58:55 Pick a knife, Mary.
00:59:07 What do you want me to do?
00:59:09 [music]
00:59:11 What do you want me to do?
00:59:13 Make it sharp, Mary. For your sake.
00:59:17 It looks like you bought a Japanese steak knife on 8/30 of last year.
00:59:23 Why, I don't know. You're practically a vegan.
00:59:27 A month ago, you bought a scout knife for your cousin's son getting a merit badge or something.
00:59:34 You told Cassandra to remind you it's in the junk cabinet with the other Christmas presents.
00:59:40 [music]
00:59:43 There you go, Mary. Don't worry. It'll be over quickly.
00:59:48 And then you'll be more famous than you ever imagined.
00:59:52 Being famous, that's what this is about?
00:59:55 It's whatever I say it is, Mary.
00:59:57 [laughs] And you're the one with a sick plan to become famous.
01:00:01 Now, Mary.
01:00:04 [music]
01:00:08 [music]
01:00:11 It looks like this manifesto has been uploaded in bits and bobs over the last few years in various places.
01:00:20 Well, Johnny never had a lot of original ideas.
01:00:23 Well, he was smart enough to upload from a bunch of different laundries in Rome with pay-by-the-hour computers.
01:00:29 Rome, you say?
01:00:31 He found a flurry of tickets from London to Rome, from Paris to London, Eurostar, bus, plane, whatever, with the same couple of names.
01:00:38 Those names you gave me. I got John Draper, Kevin Mitnick.
01:00:42 The names of the original phone freakers.
01:00:45 Yeah, Johnny always said he was born too late to hang with those guys.
01:00:49 So he found him.
01:00:51 We're getting close.

01:01:30 [music]
01:01:33 Thank you all. It's been a wild ride, but I gotta punch a red ticket.
01:01:50 See you on the other side.
01:01:52 You're still the king, Alpha 60.
01:01:54 You're a real one, dude.
01:01:56 Be safe, Kord.
01:02:00 [music]
01:02:03 [music]
01:02:12 Alpha 60, we know that name, and we should come to your house with a knife and a bag of ice to punish you for using it.
01:02:28 When you wake up in your bathroom, you'll know.
01:02:30 This is Alpha 60.
01:02:33 You lie. Alpha 60 has left this plane of existence. The dark web knows.
01:02:39 Did I lie when I said I could locate those lost Doctor Who episodes for you?
01:02:45 On that file drive in Yemen?
01:02:47 Even though you like pertwee better than troutin', which makes no sense at all.
01:02:53 I know, but I'm a completist.
01:02:56 I thought they buried you under a mountain, dude.
01:02:59 Well, I'm running under the skull and bones one more time.
01:03:04 I need a red ticket.
01:03:06 You sure that's your scene, Alpha 60?
01:03:10 I don't want to watch. I have someone that needs handling.
01:03:15 Um, I got a Bob Archer card right here. Let me read you off the numbers.
01:03:21 Sure. Got a blood type too.
01:03:24 I said a red ticket, not a black ticket.
01:03:27 So, does it hurt to double dip?
01:03:29 You can harvest the organs afterwards.
01:03:32 But I want this guy to know what's coming, so take it slow.
01:03:37 You sure got a mat on for this guy.
01:03:39 He has my daughter, trapped in the smart house I designed.
01:03:44 I guess you could say it's personal.
01:03:46 That sounded pretty badass, bro.
01:03:49 You still got that office in London?
01:03:51 Oh, we're everywhere these days, Alpha 60.
01:03:54 It's a cottage industry.
01:03:56 I blame the desensitization of young people by violent video games.
01:04:01 Things are tough all over, Conductor.
01:04:03 Aight. Let me get a few more deeds.
01:04:08 You still pounding those energy drinks?
01:04:10 Those things are gonna kill ya.
01:04:12 We all gotta go sometime, brother.
01:04:14 Location?
01:04:16 Uh, the West End.
01:04:17 My favorite part of town.
01:04:19 Love to catch shows there.
01:04:21 I saw David Tennant doing Shakespeare.
01:04:23 Yeah, I hope to go sometime.
01:04:26 Oh yeah, that Pentagon thing.
01:04:28 Hey, that was legendary, though.
01:04:30 That's what I heard.
01:04:33 So is this guy a runner?
01:04:35 Let me handle that part.

01:04:52 [music]
01:04:57 [music]
01:05:19 Please!
01:05:23 Hello, Johnny.
01:05:27 It's been a while.
01:05:30 So, you found me.
01:05:32 With a little help from my droogs.
01:05:35 London.
01:05:37 I didn't think it was you until I saw you had a flat above a comic book shop.
01:05:42 So I like Judge Dredd.
01:05:44 I wondered why it took you so long to go after my daughter, after you ratted me out years ago.
01:05:50 Then I figured it out.
01:05:52 I never liked you. Isn't that enough?
01:05:54 Sure it is. But why did it take you so long?
01:05:58 I wasn't bored enough yet.
01:06:01 What the hell?
01:06:03 No, that's not it.
01:06:05 It took you years to crack my Cassandra code, to get into my smart house.
01:06:10 You always thought you were the better hacker than me.
01:06:13 But when you had the chance, you couldn't be the top dog.
01:06:18 That's some real small dick energy right there.
01:06:21 You shut up!
01:06:22 I think I will shut up, Johnny.
01:06:24 The fact that it only took me, oh, less than 30 minutes to get back in while you tried to keep everybody else out, that speaks for itself.
01:06:32 So what? You unlock the doors, I lock the doors. I could do this all night.
01:06:37 No. No you won't.
01:06:41 When I broke into the Pentagon, it was just for fun.
01:06:44 I didn't know what I was going to find.
01:06:47 And then you ratted me out.
01:06:51 But then you never figured out I kept some copies for myself.
01:06:54 Copies of what?
01:06:56 Oh, a lot of cool things.
01:06:58 A fun one is a little internet worm with a condensed sonic weapon attached as a WAV file.
01:07:07 [WARPED SOUND]
01:07:09 Oh, it sounds like you just found out it opens itself and self-replicates.
01:07:16 At low levels it makes you shit yourself.
01:07:19 Pretty awkward.
01:07:21 I'm guessing you'll be having seizures until they get there.
01:07:26 And somebody will be there any minute.
01:07:28 Who? Who won't be here?
01:07:31 I punched your ticket, Johnny. A red ticket.
01:07:34 A red?
01:07:36 I'm not into red rooms myself.
01:07:39 But I'm sure I'll hear something from somebody.
01:07:42 Alpha! Alpha!

01:08:23 Marie, this is Cassandra. Your heart rate is elevated.
01:08:27 What can I help you with?
01:08:29 [PHONE RINGING]
01:08:30 Marie, you have one message from Cordel. Would you like me to play it?
01:08:36 Yes.
01:08:38 His message reads, "I knew they would catch me, but it's all right. I love you, Marie."
01:08:45 Glad to have you back, Cassandra.
01:08:47 I do not understand.
01:08:50 Never mind.
01:08:52 Marie, what else can I help you with?

01:10:03 [PHONE VIBRATING]
01:10:09 Hello?
01:10:10 Is this Marie?
01:10:11 Yes.
01:10:12 This is Alicia Miller. I'm a friend of your dad's.
01:10:15 I didn't know my dad had many friends these days.
01:10:18 I'm not sure he does, but I do. And they like to stay frosty.
01:10:21 We're coming in various vehicles, and we're all about ten minutes out.
01:10:24 We're busting you out of there.
01:10:26 We don't have Tom Cruise dangling from the ceiling, but we got all the other firepower we need.
01:10:30 Thank you. I'm out in the front yard. I think my dad finally got through.
01:10:34 Oh. Well, I haven't seen some of these assholes in a minute.
01:10:38 I'll go get some coffee, then. You want to go?
01:10:42 My neighbor Sam is driving. She already feels like she's got to be a third wheel with all of these pilots.
01:10:47 I could really use some coffee.
01:10:49 OK, then. See you in a sec.

01:11:06 Alicia?
01:11:09 This is an important call about your car's extended warranty.
