to do the opposite of what big wireless

1:14

you a little. So naturally, when they announced

1:17

they'd be raising their prices due to inflation,

1:19

we decided to deflate our prices due to

1:21

not hating you. That's right, we're cutting the

1:23

price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month

Hey guys, quick plugs. Before we

2:59

begin, uh... Michael would like to

3:01

wish a very happy birthday to Soren. One

3:04

of your buddies reached out to me and

3:06

asked if I could say happy birthday so

3:08

here you go Bard. In other

3:10

news, this is the season 13 finale. I

3:13

4:24

This episode contains a depiction of violence.

4:27

Her discretion is advised. Come

4:36

on, Pard. It ain't that bad.

4:38

Yes, Outlaw, it is in fact that bad.

4:41

I'm not going to be stinky. I can't

4:43

be stinky to everyone from now on. I

4:45

admit it ain't a very nice thing to

4:48

be called, but... No, it's not. Mikey gave

4:50

me the nickname, and he isn't a very

4:52

nice guy, if you noticed. He kept me

4:54

locked in a closet in his apartment. For

4:56

no reason, I might add, because I know that

4:58

Edgar knew that I was in there. I heard

5:00

him stop outside the door and listen to me.

5:02

I don't know why he didn't drop the pretending

5:04

and just open the door for me. But no,

5:06

and now because of that, my

5:08

sciatica is all kinds of messed up. And

5:10

the worst thing of all is that Edgar

5:13

calls Mikey stinky. That's his nickname. He tried

5:15

to pawn it off on me. I

5:18

got stretches for sciatica, if you need them.

5:20

He ain't got sciatica, Outlaw. No, I

5:22

feel a lot better now that I'm here

5:24

and walking around and not stuck in

5:26

a closet. It's good you're feeling better, pilgrim.

5:29

Because it's your turn to feed the dang

5:31

bear you all dragged here. Excuse me?

5:33

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

5:36

I'm not feeding the bear. It would rip my arm off.

5:38

Get Tex to do it. He's the one that brought it

5:40

here. You're next in the rotation, stinky.

5:42

I fed him yesterday, and Bluster fed him the

5:44

day before that. It's your turn. Fair

5:47

is fair. Well if Bluster is well trained

5:49

enough to feed him, then Tex should just

5:52

train the bear to feed himself. Very and

5:54

as smart as Bluster, stinky. And both of

5:56

you stop calling me stinky. What

5:58

do you reckon we should call you then? And fresh

6:01

outta nicknames, we got Mikey,

6:03

Mike, Michael, Tex.

6:06

Don't forget about Emdog. Oh, howdy Emdog.

6:08

Forgot you was here. Emdog ain't

6:10

fed the bear yet neither. Then get

6:12

Emdog to feed him. I'm not doing

6:14

it. I can go with Stinky if

6:16

he's scared. I'm not afraid of the

6:18

bear anymore. We met on

6:20

the astral plane and had a conversation

6:22

and it was great. So as long

6:24

as everyone out there is chill and

6:26

calm and we all keep our auras

6:29

clean, he's gonna let us feed him

6:31

no problem. Okay, but don't think

6:33

you're getting outta your turn, Emdog. I

6:35

will take my turn when it is my turn. And

6:39

today I will lend little Stinky

6:41

here some spiritual guidance. Take

6:44

him on a psychedelic journey if you want part.

6:46

As long as the bear gets fed. There's

6:48

a mess of fresh salmon in the freezer. Caught

6:51

him all this morning just for the occasion.

6:53

And watch your hands. Dang thing snapped to

6:55

me when I fed him. We will be

6:57

careful and we will be back in a

7:00

minute. Stay bodacious you two. I

7:03

don't know what that means so I'm

7:05

gonna stick to being a cowboy if

7:07

you don't mind. They aren't mutually exclusive.

7:09

Let's go Stinky. Emdog,

7:12

you're chill, right? Can you

7:15

stop calling me Stinky and can you get

7:17

them to stop calling me Stinky? It's a

7:19

nightmare. I don't even like being called Mikey

7:21

but I'll settle for that if it means

7:23

not getting called Stinky. Here, smell

7:25

me, smell me. I'm not Stinky. I

7:27

don't need to smell you but it's

7:29

too late for that, I'm afraid. Once

7:32

you have been given a nickname it

7:34

is very difficult to shirk. Bummer,

7:37

harsh realm, I know but it's

7:39

the truth. I was in

7:41

good standing with my karma when they

7:43

found me so I got lucky and

7:45

already had a nickname. I

7:48

introduced myself as Emdog and so they

7:50

call me Emdog. And they don't call

7:52

you Stinky even though I can smell

7:54

you. The deodorant has aluminum in it,

7:56

I refuse to wear it, and my

7:59

deodorant works. worked in the fifth

8:01

dimension, whereas yours does not. Stinky.

8:04

It's not your fifth dimension that I'm concerned

8:06

about smelling. If you want

8:09

my advice, Stinky, you should go

8:11

with the flow. You are stinky

8:13

now. Own it. Be

8:15

like water. Flow in the

8:17

direction that you are going to flow. It

8:20

makes everything easier. We

8:23

live a difficult life. The last thing

8:25

that we need are unnecessary challenges. Is

8:27

that why you've been wearing a cowboy

8:29

hat that's you going with the flow?

8:32

Text keeps putting it on my head

8:34

while I'm meditating, so I continue to

8:36

wear it. Plus the hatband

8:39

has tourmaline in it, and that

8:41

is a bodacious mineral. It

8:43

has wonderful energy. You aren't going to

8:46

make bodacious happen. It's such

8:48

a shame that we're feeding fish to the bear. It

8:50

seems so unnecessary. I have done some

8:53

research, and it turns out that bears

8:55

are omnivores. In the wild,

8:57

they only eat meat occasionally, so I

8:59

think I'm going to bring him some

9:01

berries next time and see if he

9:04

prefers those. That thing's an

9:06

omnivore. I have seen him at work.

9:08

That is a meat eater. The bear

9:10

has had a rough life, even for

9:12

a bear. I think that

9:14

after he gets a chance to calm

9:16

down out here, he'll be chill. Bodacious,

9:19

even. He

9:21

could be one of the gang, just

9:23

like bluster. Think of how awesome it

9:25

would be to have a bear guarding

9:27

us. Okay, but bluster is like smart

9:29

and loyal, and the bear isn't. The

9:31

bear has only been our enemy so

9:33

far. He didn't want to attack us

9:35

that night on patrol. We were

9:38

at the wrong place at the wrong time, and

9:40

he hurt us. And even

9:42

though he almost killed us, he was

9:44

just as scared as we were. No,

9:46

I wasn't on patrol, I was in

9:48

a security building. No, I am referring

9:50

to before we were iterated. You

9:53

do realize that that is the same bear,

9:55

right? I confirmed it with his astral profile.

9:57

That is the same bear as the bear.

10:00

that attacked us on patrol. I don't

10:02

understand what you mean by patrol. That

10:04

isn't what happened. Stinky, are you saying

10:06

that the bear has never attacked you

10:08

on patrol? Look, I

10:11

don't know. Let's not talk about

10:13

this right now. Just feed him and get

10:15

back inside. Stinky, can I see your back

10:17

for a moment? As in, could

10:20

you lift up your shirt and show me

10:22

your back? Why would I do that? My

10:24

hands are full of salmon. I'm guessing that

10:26

you don't have a huge scar all the

10:28

way down your back from a bear Well,

10:30

I guess we'll never know because of

10:32

the salmon hands. Where did you come

10:34

from, Stinky? I... text... Okay,

10:36

so, uh... What's the thing that you

10:39

guys say? Propagation risk. This... is... Salmon

10:44

hands! Stinky, we are going to

10:46

go back inside and sit the

10:48

salmon down. The bear can wait.

10:51

I think that we need to talk

10:53

to Tex about you right this instant.

10:56

Because if you... What

11:00

the hell was that? Um... Emdog?

11:03

Um, hello? Uh, where'd you go?

11:05

Uh, you dropped all your fish? I

11:08

guess the bear is not going to care about

11:11

that. Uh, hello? Where are you?

11:13

Hello? Uh, Tex?

11:16

Uh, well, anyone? Uh, what's going on? Uh,

11:20

where'd all your stuff go? Why is the... is this

11:22

a prank? Did you... Did you empty the

11:24

house? This is like a funny time travel prank?

11:27

Because it's not funny. Um,

11:30

this isn't a prank. Fuck. Fuck,

11:32

this is really bad. Hello? Uh,

11:34

anyone? Uh, did

11:36

you... go somewhere? God,

11:40

how did he... astral project? No,

11:42

no, that's not real. Um, fuck,

11:44

I need... what do I do? Uh, I...

11:46

I call Mikey. What's

11:48

his phone number? Fuck if I

11:50

know... oh, fuck. Oh,

11:56

bluster. I've never been happy to see

11:58

you. Before I don't

12:01

think bluster, something is very

12:03

wrong and do you know

12:05

what's going on? Okay up

12:07

Bluster, I need you to

12:09

go into town and find

12:11

help. Go. Find help, bluster

12:13

up and go into town a

12:15

tell them the hard that Texan

12:18

outline him dog are missing. You

12:20

can tell them right because text

12:22

says you can go. Town.

12:25

Over there are a you

12:27

do not understand me. Bluster.

12:31

Go find help! Ah, my Iridium guy

12:33

says he gave me a boatload of

12:35

the stuff, but we gotta wait until

12:37

next month. He's fresh out more. Me

12:40

that a crying shame because I was

12:42

hoping we could fortify the array this

12:44

weekend. While the weather's nice post, we

12:46

got extra company to look after. Where

12:48

the hell did you go just now?

12:51

I beg your pardon. We're right here.

12:53

John about Iridium. Did you see the

12:55

bear? know? Everyone disappeared for like a

12:57

whole minute. You all blinked out

12:59

of existence. Him dog and I went

13:01

outside to feed the bear and then

13:04

all of a sudden he was gone

13:06

with mid sentence. I came inside and

13:08

both of you are gone. Everyone was

13:10

gone but me and bluster. stinky. Why

13:12

did you come back inside? Don't tell

13:15

me that you're afraid of the bear.

13:17

He can since. Bad vibrations you're saying

13:19

We just up and vanished. Texas Stinky.

13:21

Same one. I thank you. Same sounds

13:23

like we're blink and board and betting

13:25

a goods on at all. Oh think

13:28

Iridium. Gonna get us out of

13:30

this jail. Something real bad going

13:32

down. We're all in

13:34

danger. in Stinky. You just

13:36

became real valuable. Oh, I'm

13:38

a real valuable and I'm

13:40

still called stinky nicknames. Finally,

14:37

It's about time that you came to

14:39

mind. I'm not Mike, I'm nobody. I

14:41

feel that I have indulged you for

14:43

far too long. Mike, Now you listen

14:45

to me. I entered this arrangement because

14:47

I thought it would benefit the both

14:49

of us. You said that you would

14:51

different from the other mike's and I

14:53

thought this meant you are capable of

14:55

getting the job done and said I

14:57

had to rescue you from your own

15:00

screw up and put a brand new

15:02

my heart and your chest. Those don't

15:04

come cheap or by the way and

15:06

were far fewer. Mice to choose from

15:08

these days, all thanks to you. Add

15:10

to harvest this one for a fresh

15:12

subject. What happened to me Tie: Why

15:15

am I hear what you're going to

15:17

have to tell me the last I

15:19

heard from you you are traveling to

15:21

the year Nineteen Eighty. I found you

15:23

stuffed in a box with a bullet

15:26

holes in your chest with an al

15:28

two pints of gravy and my slim

15:30

bubble stick. What happened was Helen Hotly

15:32

of all people to formidable foe you

15:34

up A Helen. Helen Hartley shot me

15:37

and. Then I accidentally transported

15:39

to the dropbox. You accidentally

15:41

transported to the dropbox. i

15:45

noticed i was able to intercept the transport

15:47

and bring you here i had to bribe

15:49

one of the tracing guys in order to

15:51

find you that wasn't cheap either so i

15:54

suppose in a way you're lucky that your

15:56

plan didn't work out the compound is still

15:58

here i still have the tech to

16:00

resuscitate you. You're welcome. You were in

16:02

1980, Ty. You were friends with Helen.

16:08

I was friends. Friends? Is that

16:10

so much of a surprise? I thought

16:12

you said that you work for the COA. I

16:15

don't know what kind of training they gave you at

16:17

that place, but apparently they didn't bring you up to

16:19

speed. Yes, I was at over in the

16:21

year 1980. You and

16:23

Helen have the calculator in 1980.

16:28

We have to issue a correction. They don't

16:30

know what they're doing. Yes.

16:34

And don't you know what that feels like? I

16:37

agree that something must be done. A calculator

16:39

sent back that far into the past could

16:41

cause untold damage, especially if it gets into

16:43

the hands of governments. But we will not

16:45

be issuing a correction. I was generous enough

16:48

to bring you back to life, but that

16:50

is where my generosity ends. I

16:52

will be taking care of all operations

16:55

from here on out. Your services are

16:57

surplus to requirements. You can't tell me

16:59

what to do. I don't work for you. Oh

17:01

yes, you don't work for me, but you will

17:03

be taking this order from me. You

17:05

do not have a choice in the matter. You

17:08

will not be meddling in my plans from here

17:10

on out. We need to talk to Anne about

17:12

this. The COA will get this sorted out, no

17:14

problem. I am not entertaining compromises at this juncture,

17:17

Mike. That ship has sailed. Okay, then you're gonna

17:19

let me go back to COA and we'll just

17:21

pretend this never happened. Of course not. I

17:24

do not have a long-term solution in mind yet. I

17:27

might turn you back over to the COA for a

17:29

price depending on how valuable you

17:31

are. But there is

17:33

some recently vacated room in storage with your

17:35

name in it. What? No, Ty. You can't

17:37

do that. After everything I

17:40

did for you? Okay, I messed up once,

17:42

but I'm storage proof. You

17:44

know that. You can't stick me in

17:47

there. I know that you're storage proof.

17:49

Don't worry, this is not a permanent

17:51

solution. I would never do such a

17:53

thing. I'm not as callous as you are, Mike. Your

17:56

Stay in storage will give you some time to think about

17:58

what you've done. You Can't do that. This tie

18:00

I'm I'm gonna call an I'm going to

18:02

get out of your and you. Move.

18:08

Move he who excellent. That is

18:10

a wonderful sign indeed. It appears

18:12

that my problems are taken care

18:14

of themselves. I. Just need to

18:16

check the other Mike's and we can

18:19

set up doubtless what is happening and

18:21

get forward. Know you nitwit. I didn't

18:23

skip forward, You blinked, you temporarily ceased

18:26

existing and now you're back and forth

18:28

from the Zola. I got corrected. Who

18:30

would do corrected me in a sense?

18:33

yes, but I haven't done it yet.

18:35

At the marvelous well with of my

18:37

plans though, you were a racing me.

18:40

This is some sort of consolidation strike

18:42

out on. Take it personally, Mike the

18:44

Compounded been working. On an exciting advancement

18:47

and I am going to be the

18:49

first. That's why I had you investigate

18:51

the greenhouse. You found the activation switch

18:53

that I need in order to operate

18:55

it by myself. I don't understand what

18:57

was that thing that I found. I

18:59

didn't really need you to understand. The

19:01

just is that we have developed a

19:03

technology that will allow me to strike

19:05

unwanted actors from the timeline in a

19:07

mathematician way. I believe that you and

19:10

your ilk call it a connectivity stomach

19:12

and but I am connected to my

19:14

Waltons? Are you going to. Get rid

19:16

of every make. That is what

19:18

is a groundbreaking about the technology.

19:20

Might this isn't just Do It

19:23

is a super weapon capable of

19:25

taking out. Whole

19:27

organizations. So say

19:29

that I dropped this weapon

19:32

on over circa nineteen Eighty.

19:34

That would solve a lot

19:36

of problems for me. As

19:40

very big lot of problems and

19:42

if it works there then we

19:44

can use it elsewhere. C.

19:47

O A Perhaps you being serious with

19:49

me right now you're going to erase

19:51

an is they are unwilling to cooperate

19:53

with us Then Yes, this is always

19:56

been a life or death situation. Mike

19:58

don't shy away because someone. Really

20:00

got the other hand. the ones that

20:02

Cla are wise beyond the years. They

20:04

know how and when to compromise. Okay,

20:06

then why did I bombed out of

20:09

existence just now? If you haven't used

20:11

it yet, because I'm going to use

20:13

it in the past in Nineteen eighty.

20:16

And seems like there's a high likelihood

20:18

that I'll be successful. It isn't well

20:20

understood what you have experienced, what is

20:22

called and intentionality ripple. I'm

20:25

going to use the weapon and to

20:27

raise you look, but I haven't done

20:29

that yet because the instigating action happens

20:31

in the future that I'm going to

20:33

perform the attack in the past. Those

20:35

timelines exist in a sort of superposition

20:37

until Adidas to be done. It

20:40

is not a guarantee of success, but

20:42

it is an extra sign of things

20:44

to come as a wall is going

20:46

to get erased all of over base.

20:49

Anyone involved in your little calculators snafu?

20:51

that's for sure. A lot of annoying

20:53

pieces will be off the board. Hopefully

20:56

once and for all. this is

20:58

half baked tie don't you like

21:00

the mike's like isn't working with

21:02

them though. Whole point of your

21:04

existence in the compound. Mike.

21:07

Mike nag, nag like you must have

21:09

me confused with another high. I don't

21:11

particularly care what happens, you or to

21:13

any of the month gonna can be

21:15

able to pull my heartstrings, fucking your

21:18

heartstrings an isn't going to take this

21:20

lying down and oh I won't either.

21:22

They've got their own makes you let

21:24

me worry about negotiating with the other

21:26

organizations, don't you worry your pretty little

21:29

head about that? After all, hopefully you'll

21:31

be long gone by them at sea.

21:33

Are you ready to send my care

21:35

into storage storage? At

21:39

this point has a story. Of

21:41

I should be some empty spots from the subjects that

21:43

might he has been interviewing. You can place them in

21:45

any of those that. are

21:48

reading which they subjects that's the

21:50

trouble say he's been faking those

21:53

interviews now please if you wouldn't

21:55

mind please remove this might into

21:57

storage tanks It's

22:00

all about doing this, Kai. Something feels off.

22:03

Which mic even is this? Phoenix, it

22:06

is not your place to decide what

22:08

feels off. Place this

22:10

mic Walters into storage, it is

22:12

your job. Phew, as

22:14

you wish. Transporting mic

22:16

into storage in three, two,

22:20

one. Thank

22:27

you, Fi. Sorry to be harsh

22:29

with you, but I cannot tolerate insubordination at this

22:31

moment. You do understand? I,

22:35

um, I guess I do. And

22:37

Fi, I know that you

22:39

are already duty bound to not report the actions of

22:41

ties to each other, but I want

22:43

you to be especially aware of that in

22:46

this instance. Do

22:48

you understand? Yes,

22:50

I am aware of my responsibilities.

22:53

Did you blink out of existence for a moment,

22:55

Alia? No, no, I don't

22:57

think so. If I did, I

22:59

didn't notice. Excellent. I

23:02

wanted to make sure. I'm

23:05

sorry. Identity

23:18

is only a worry

23:20

if you need to

23:23

know who I am.

23:26

I've gone through such

23:29

great lengths to render

23:31

that relevant. I'm

23:36

famous for my wit.

23:38

I'm sure I'll bury

23:40

you in it. I'll

23:43

coat you right out of your

23:45

skin. Begin to laminate. Superficial

23:50

parts of you,

23:53

I'll gladly iron

23:55

out in. I'll

24:02

be you, as it is.

24:05

I will clench you in my

24:07

vest, and I'll be brave,

24:10

brave. And

24:12

I'm not so easy

24:16

to dismiss. I

24:20

will rise above

24:22

the den while

24:25

I push you into

24:27

it. And if you

24:29

will be grateful, you

24:36

will be grateful. A

24:46

noxious cloud that hovers

24:48

overhead will only bother

24:50

you if you bother

24:53

it. In times

24:55

as scared of you

24:58

as you are intelligent,

25:01

so elsewhere

25:03

I'm famous for my

25:05

ways. But here and

25:07

now I'll bury it,

25:10

keep walking straight, ignore

25:12

the rain, and begin

25:15

to laminate. The

25:18

child precious parts of

25:20

you you can't afford

25:22

to drown in. I'll

25:29

be you, as

25:31

it is. I

25:33

will clench you in my

25:36

vest, and I'll be

25:38

proud of it. And

25:44

I'm not so easy

25:46

to dismiss. I

25:49

will rise above the den

25:51

while I push you into

25:53

it. And if you will

25:56

be grateful, you will be

25:58

grateful. You

26:04

will be grateful. I

26:11

once had

26:15

a hatred that turned

26:18

to fever. I

26:22

only believe one

26:24

move is

26:27

burning. Cause

26:29

now that you're grateful, there's

26:32

no need. Fit

26:36

and rave and

26:38

tear for our

26:40

flesh. We'll always

26:42

know who's next.

26:45

Take a don't forget

26:48

in line, you can't

26:50

avoid a wait. In

26:54

tiny,

26:57

losery

26:59

as it is. I

27:01

will clench you in my

27:04

bed, and then I'll wash

27:06

my hands of it. I'm

27:12

not so easy in

27:14

his nest. I

27:17

will rise above the

27:19

den while I rub

27:22

your nose in it. So

27:24

you will be grateful. You

27:33

will be grateful. You

27:40

will be grateful. You

27:49

will be

27:52

grateful. Oh

28:03

wow, so this is where you work Chris?

28:05

You get to be out here all the

28:07

time? It's so beautiful. Marissa, have you

28:10

ever been out here before? We should take a picnic sometime. Yeah,

28:14

well, I didn't even know this place fucking

28:16

existed until today cause Ty's kept saying playing

28:18

Nurse Maid to his fucking supernook. Joke's

28:22

on you though Chris cause I get

28:24

to actually go outside to the real

28:26

world and touch some real grass. And

28:28

sometimes I get to blow that grass up.

28:31

Hey Chris, what's it like not to have any fun?

28:34

Hey, the grass is real. It's the same grass

28:36

as the real outside, that's why it's in here.

28:38

And unlike the real outside, I can lock the

28:40

door so that no one can get an inspy

28:42

on us. Oh yeah, unless someone

28:44

asks you to leave the keys, right? Anyway,

28:47

it's too late for that. The

28:50

whole fucking circus is in town and they're

28:52

stuck in here with us. But

28:54

uh, did we really have to bring her? You

28:57

don't even know me. Okay, look,

28:59

no offense, but I know your son and he's

29:01

a real piece of shit. Alright, do you realize

29:03

that he's killed every single one of us

29:05

here at some point? Do you know how

29:07

embarrassing it is to get killed by somebody who talks

29:09

like that? Why hello there,

29:12

my name's Hunter J. Hartley and I wouldn't

29:14

recognize a good employee if they ran me

29:16

over to the golf cart. Don't

29:18

make me mad now or I might just

29:20

overreact and explode you with my mind. Whoa,

29:23

chill out there sunshine. Helen didn't

29:25

do any of that, it's not her fault. Hunter

29:28

killed her long before he killed any of

29:30

us, remember? And he doesn't sound

29:32

like that, he sounds like this. Oh

29:35

hi there, it is me, Hunter Jeremiah

29:37

Hartley, your old pal there Mikey. I

29:40

might believe you shall be dead for killing my

29:42

mom, but I do have to say, Marissa should

29:44

have gotten the promotion over me. She's a much

29:46

better employee. Or

29:49

something like that. Are you saying

29:51

Jerry's going to kill me? I

29:53

don't believe you. I

29:55

think this is just some ploy to try to rattle me.

29:58

Lady, if I was going to make shit up... to

30:00

rattle you, I picked something more interesting,

30:02

trust me. Look, if it

30:04

makes you feel any better, it was to help him

30:06

win at an online game. It's more complicated

30:08

than that. And

30:10

that's according to him, remember? You can't

30:12

be sure what he really did. I

30:15

don't understand. Why would

30:17

he kill me? Well technically

30:19

you were already dead. He brought you back to

30:21

life using the game, and then the game told

30:23

him to kill you, so he did. Wait

30:26

guys, why are we telling her all of this? This

30:28

is literally the mother of all propagation risks.

30:30

That's terrible. Why

30:33

would he do something so awful? Video

30:35

games, am I right, moms? If

30:38

you really want to know though, go

30:40

ask Mikey. The only one of us

30:42

who's actually played Wobegon. So if Mikey

30:44

played Wobegon, did nobody

30:46

play Wobegon? Probably. I

30:49

mean, he's just an iteration of Mikey. So

30:51

he knew. Yeah, I don't see how he would have gotten

30:53

out of it though. Is this far

30:55

enough into the woods for you, Chris? Is there any chance

30:57

of us getting spied on out here? I think we

30:59

should be good here. You can pull over wherever. Just

31:02

please, don't drive us into the river this

31:04

time. Oh, well, I wasn't thinking about it

31:06

before, but uh... No, Marissa.

31:08

Seriously babe, please, no, I don't want

31:11

to get my hair wet. You

31:13

know how it is, it gets all frizzy, and then it

31:15

takes me forever to comb out, and I don't want to

31:17

deal with that. Okay, okay, I got it. Everyone

31:20

say thank you, Charlie. You're the only reason that

31:22

we're not taking a dip in the fucking river right

31:24

now. I don't understand why you

31:26

want to. I'm just dill different. Helen, this

31:28

is really in character for her. No one

31:31

should be surprised. So that's why you love

31:33

me, right babe? Yes, that is one

31:35

of the many reasons why I love you. All

31:41

right, chuckle fox, gather around and let me

31:43

see your faces. We have some very special

31:45

guests in the compound with us tonight, and

31:47

it's gonna take all hands on Deck to

31:50

throw them the best welcome party this place

31:52

has ever seen. All hands on Deck?

31:54

Where's M.W.? Don't look at me, not my

31:56

kid. I ain't his dad. Did

31:58

someone send out a message about- I only knew

32:01

about it because Edgar was going. You need to

32:03

turn on alerts in the group chat, Mikey. Push

32:05

up, y'all. We got a meeting to attend. Ty

32:07

knows the most about what's going on. I think

32:10

he should get us started. Ty? Thank

32:13

you, Edgar. Marissa is correct. We have an

32:15

emergency. There is a malefactor among the Ties.

32:17

Uh, what's a malevolence? Um,

32:22

birdie sure it's a podcast. He

32:24

means the bad guy, Troy. Oh, right, right,

32:26

right. This rogue Ty

32:28

Betteridge is at large and poses a

32:30

dire risk to both the compound and to base.

32:33

We need to find him and his allies

32:35

and route them out immediately. When we checked

32:37

the camera footage, we noticed there was an

32:39

iteration of Mikey who snuck into the greenhouse

32:41

after hours. That wasn't

32:43

you, was it, babe? No, it

32:45

was probably nobody. Nobody was

32:48

here. In this place. That's run

32:50

by Ty. Run by

32:52

Ty might be a bit of an

32:55

overstatement. Oh boy, was nobody ever here.

32:57

He barged in and started

32:59

trashing the place, and he was taking iterations

33:01

out of storage and putting some chip in them

33:03

that won't let them go back in. That's why

33:05

I had to get Stinky out of here. He

33:08

was going to die in storage because he wasn't

33:10

getting stored. Right, right. Like taking a duvet out

33:12

of vacuum storage. Is Stinky

33:14

the iteration that was eating potato chips in

33:16

our closet last night? You heard that. You're

33:18

not as sly as you think you are.

33:21

We captured that Stinky varmint and

33:23

handed him back over a text

33:25

for the time being. Stinky's his

33:27

responsibility. Let him take care of

33:29

that while we take care of

33:31

this. I don't get it. You're all Stinky.

33:33

Why does he get the nickname? Do I

33:36

get a vote? I say we call all

33:38

of you Stinky. Second, then. I

33:41

know Stinky Varn, and if a new girl

33:43

drops that, you can talk to my sick

33:45

shit. Yeah, alright. Settle down,

33:47

Big Daddy Stinker. Anyway, I'll have

33:50

to launch your beats with revolver every time. Michael,

33:52

do I have to keep telling you? You're not

33:54

that scary. I ain't scary to you,

33:56

cause you ain't got nothing to

33:58

be scared of, Bluebird. Can we get

34:00

a moratorium on rocket launchers until the end of

34:03

this conversation, please? I've told her to stop carrying

34:05

that with her so many times. She won't listen.

34:07

It says replica on the back of it. I

34:09

forgot that we had two ties. Aren't you supposed

34:11

to not like be in the same room with

34:14

each other or talk to each other or stuff

34:16

like that? This duplicate of me doesn't work at

34:18

the compound. It is acceptable to speak to him

34:20

while we ascertain this threat. That

34:23

thing ain't a replica, pilgrim. I

34:25

know, cause uh... Let's see,

34:27

I know the guy I once told him

34:29

to be the damn

34:31

handsome cowboy. How about it, Baby Ty?

34:33

Wanna test it out? I'll have you know

34:35

that I'm a full grown adult. And just as

34:38

capable as this wrinkly iteration of me or whatever

34:40

it is that you called it, a timeline duplicate.

34:42

And I am not wrinkly. I dare

34:44

you to find someone my age with a better skincare routine.

34:47

I'm taking the ties, I don't listen. Gotta

34:50

respect your elders, pilgrim. Ah,

34:52

don't listen to him, Baby Ty. Look,

34:54

you don't have to respect Ty Betteridge

34:56

for nothing. Not even if you are

34:58

of Ty Betteridge. Just follow my lead,

35:00

yeah? We kind of do have to

35:03

respect Ty Betteridge today, at least nominally,

35:05

because we need his help. From what

35:07

I've gathered, it appears that Marissa's super

35:09

nuke is connected to Chris's greenhouse. Nobody

35:12

used the greenhouse and he is connected

35:14

to evil Ty. So we need to

35:16

figure out what they want and how

35:18

it's all connected. Do I have that

35:21

right? I'm still not sure how nobody

35:23

is still alive. Helen shot him

35:25

right in the chest, I saw the whole thing. Hey, that's

35:27

not what happened. Ah, I'm sure

35:29

that evil Ty took care of that. Oh, we're

35:32

calling him evil Ty now, is that allowed?

35:34

What happened to, there's no such thing

35:36

as an evil Ty. Are we

35:38

doing Ty impressions now? My flim

35:41

bubble got wapper gasted. Isn't

35:43

it? We don't have

35:45

time to assign them colours right now, Marissa. Evil

35:47

Ty will have to do. But

35:49

since you asked, the top three

35:51

most evil colours are

35:53

Mustard, Vomit Green and

35:56

Ultra Beige. Do you think that

35:58

the other Ty and Walters... Nobody.

36:01

I called nobody Walters. Um, you think that

36:03

they're still in this place somewhere? They should

36:05

be. All the technology they want to use

36:07

is here, and they have to be here

36:09

to use it. How are we going to

36:11

find them? The compound is too large for

36:13

us to search the whole thing. Edgar's right.

36:15

And Evil Ty looks just like the other

36:18

Ties. That's how he was able to trick

36:20

me. And nobody looks just like

36:22

the rest of you. His voice

36:24

is different, but he definitely looks the same.

36:26

He could talk like me if he really

36:28

needed to. It might kill him inside. But

36:30

it's just like, I could talk like

36:32

Michael if I wanted to. Howdy, pilgrim.

36:35

I'm gonna put on my boots

36:37

and I got a horse and I'm gonna

36:39

ride around on the horse. We're doing impressions

36:41

today. I don't know what's up with that.

36:44

But there are a lot of iterations that

36:46

look exactly like me wandering around the compound.

36:48

It wouldn't be exactly strange to see one.

36:50

How many iterations of me are there, Ty?

36:52

Like a thousand? Ten thousand?

36:55

It's uncouth to divulge specific numbers. What

36:58

Ty means is that the whole thing

37:00

butt-load of Mikeys that this nobody

37:02

fella could be blending in with.

37:06

Y'all bitches seem to be forgetting that

37:08

we've got our own magical girl in

37:10

our corner. Ten hundred thousand is whatever.

37:12

Charlie will be able to scope out the stinkies

37:14

from our nobody's no problem. Aw,

37:17

thanks, Sunshine. She's right, though, guys. I

37:19

really think I could tell them apart.

37:22

Well, let's try to find him, then. I think

37:24

that we should split up. We'll choose some of

37:26

the more likely locations and start there. I know

37:28

that's not a great plan, but I don't think

37:30

we have anything else, do we? Maybe

37:32

once we get out there, one of

37:34

us will find a clue. Okay, before

37:36

we start running around the matrix. That's

37:38

compound, Troy. Right, right. Before we start

37:40

compounding the matrix, I, uh,

37:43

I kind of need to use the bathroom.

37:45

We're outside, Bart. Just go behind a tree.

37:48

I thought the trees here were fake or

37:50

like electricity or something. I don't want

37:52

to get, I don't want to get shocked, you

37:54

know? They're real trees, Troy. They're just like the

37:56

trees outside. They can't hurt you. You

37:58

know what? Scratch that. You would find a way to... to get

38:00

yourself hurt by a tree. But they're normal, everyday

38:03

trees. Oh, okay then. I

38:05

mean, I don't fully understand how we're not really

38:07

outside if those are outside trees, but mostly I

38:09

guess I really have to pee, so I'm just

38:11

gonna, I'm gonna go do that. Just go, Troy.

38:13

Alright, alright, I'll be back in a minute. I'll

38:15

be back in a minute. Oh,

38:19

go ahead, take your time, take your time. Alright,

38:23

so we get to two minutes headstorm before I

38:25

start up with the rocket launchers. Marissa? That's

38:28

mean. I was just kidding, babe. I

38:30

was just kidding. He's

38:34

not very bright. Cute, but

38:36

that's about it. You're not gonna

38:38

give him anything important to do, are you? I

38:40

wouldn't dream of giving him something important to do.

38:42

Don't worry about that, you guys. As a

38:44

wimp, he'll come with me. I'll take

38:46

care of him just like I usually

38:48

do. Hi, Troy. You and I. Pality.

38:51

You must have the patience of a

38:53

saint. Thanks. I get

38:55

told that a lot, actually. You're

38:57

welcome. What

39:03

is that? Intercom? Was

39:08

that speaking? What's he saying? Is that us?

39:11

Talking to someone? Why

39:19

would Evil Pie put nobody in storage?

39:21

I thought they were working for that. I guess they

39:24

aren't anymore, babe. They

39:28

must be in the trunk. Why would he tamper

39:30

with the elevator? Because

39:34

that's Evil Pie. There's

39:38

Felix nowhere in here. 118-39.

39:51

That's a storage location. That's... the next place

39:53

we should go, I think. Okay,

39:55

we'll split up. One team will go to 118-39 while

39:57

the- rest

40:00

of us will... I

40:03

just happened. Ty, where did everyone just

40:05

go? Oh, this is bad. Extremely

40:09

bad. We are in a superposition with

40:11

a timeline where the others don't exist.

40:14

We're effectively in that other timeline right now.

40:17

That must be what evil Ty is trying to

40:19

accomplish. That must be what the supernuke

40:21

does. Is... are they

40:23

coming back? I think so. But

40:26

eventually things are going to turn from intermittent

40:28

to permanent. This is what

40:30

they're working on. They're trying to erase everyone from

40:32

the timeline. And that nobody fellow is

40:34

helping the other one of us with all of this?

40:36

Why? Because you cocked things up

40:38

royally back in 1980. If

40:41

you hadn't instigated things with nobody then this would never

40:43

have happened. Instigated? All

40:46

I did was steal a calculator from him and then

40:48

transport him back into the present. I know damn well

40:50

what you did. How do you know that? Because

40:52

I remember it, you nitwit. We are the

40:55

same person. And the longer you're

40:57

here the more of my past is in jeopardy. Did you

40:59

never watch the five doctors? Oh okay. It

41:01

hasn't happened yet. That happened in 1983. Well

41:04

I'm getting you out of here. Prepare for

41:06

transport. Transport? Where are you sending me? And

41:08

what do you mean five doctors? Somewhere

41:11

that keeps you from mucking about in the timeline.

41:13

Don't worry, you'll be safe. Safe? Where

41:15

are you sending me? Are you sending me back to 1980? Oh

41:18

heavens no. There's a lot of clean up to be done there

41:20

and you shouldn't be anywhere near it. Goodbye

41:22

Ty. I'll inevitably see you as you become me.

41:25

The long way round. Transporting in

41:28

three, two, one... Wait, where? Oh,

41:36

that time tunnel feels like hell. What the

41:38

hell was that? What the fuck

41:40

was that? That was so weird. Did you guys just

41:42

see Ty disappear? What the hell? Where's Ty? Has anyone

41:45

seen Ty? My Ty. Everyone,

41:48

please remain calm. I don't

41:50

mean to alarm anyone but all of you briefly ceased

41:52

existing. Oh, briefly stopped existing.

41:54

Cool. Not alarmed by that at all, Ty.

41:56

That is totally cool with me. Did the

41:59

supernuke go off? Since you all return

42:01

to existence after only a few moments, I would say

42:03

that it has not. But Evil Ty

42:05

has the intention to do so, and the

42:07

ability to make it happen. The

42:09

supernuke detonating is something that does

42:12

happen in a future. We disappeared

42:14

as a result of intentionality? Is

42:17

that what you're saying? I believe so, yes.

42:20

I did not disappear, I suppose I'm

42:22

too strongly connected to Evil Ty. He

42:24

couldn't erase me without erasing himself. Where's

42:26

the Ty I came here with? Did

42:29

he get erased or whatever?

42:31

I'm afraid so. His connectivity to the

42:34

rest of us must be looser than mine. As to

42:36

why he didn't return when the rest of you did,

42:38

I'm not sure. Intentionality is not

42:40

a well understood phenomenon. We still aren't

42:42

sure that it actually exists. We could

42:44

be measuring and observing something else entirely.

42:46

Could the rest of us get picked

42:48

off in one of these ear blinks?

42:51

Is it gonna happen again? It's possible.

42:53

We need to act fast. Hey guys,

42:55

I just got a text from Bluster.

42:57

He says there has been a quote

42:59

service interruption down in Texas if and

43:02

you know what I mean. And then

43:04

a horse with a cowboy hat winking

43:06

emoji. I didn't know that there was

43:08

a horse with a cowboy hat winking

43:10

emoji. He said that

43:12

they're all back now, but that

43:15

Stinky says he didn't blink. Who

43:17

is Bluster? Who's Stinky?

43:20

How do we get my Ty

43:22

back? I told him that

43:24

I would kick his ass in heaven if anything happened

43:26

to us coming here and he... He

43:29

better not get there before me. Bluster's

43:32

a horse and Stinky's a Mikey. And

43:34

Ty Betteridge is not going to heaven.

43:36

If Stinky didn't blink, then we need

43:38

to get to the bottom of this.

43:41

He could be the key to figuring

43:43

everything out. Or at least a way

43:45

to combat evil Ty. This is a

43:47

connectivity thing, right? Is Stinky not connected

43:49

to us? Would not a Mikey

43:51

by any other name still smell as

43:54

Stinky? I call Mikey Stinky all the

43:56

time. Not the time for that, Panther.

43:59

So we're not... just stabbing in the dark

44:01

anymore, right? We'll send one group out to

44:03

storage, one group stays here in the greenhouse

44:05

to look for clues, and one goes to

44:08

Texas. Mikey, you're in charge of storage interviews.

44:10

Would you like to come with me to

44:12

interrogate nobody? Yeah, I can do that. Can

44:15

Edgar come with us? I'm

44:17

not gonna lie, I just had to

44:19

reckon with my own eventual non-existence, and

44:22

I would like, uh, someone

44:24

with me. Of course I'll come

44:26

with you, Mikey Bear. Don't worry,

44:28

you're safe with me. Troy

44:30

and I can go to Texas. It'd actually

44:32

be really nice to see them all again. Oh,

44:35

well then. Looks like me and my rocket launcher are

44:37

going with my best girl. My

44:40

hero. I'll go with

44:42

you guys. Uh, where is Troy? I'm

44:44

back! I'm back, sorry,

44:46

sorry. I went

44:49

to the bathroom and I got a little lost. Troy,

44:51

you were gone for like 10 minutes. Maybe

44:53

it was a difficult biz, pilgrim. Troy,

44:56

your shoes are wet. I know they're wet.

44:58

See, what happened is I was peeing and I got a

45:00

little bit on my shoe and so I walked into the

45:03

river to try to, I don't know, I was

45:05

trying to dry it off and it didn't work and then

45:07

I got them more wet because I thought maybe nobody would

45:09

notice, and, but now I'm telling you, so, I don't know,

45:11

I'm back. Just fucking ignore it. Let's keep going. You

45:13

missed the plan, Goofy. We are going to Texas.

45:16

Oh, okay. What's, uh, what's in

45:18

Texas? Stingy, apparently. And

45:20

that leaves me, Helen, and Chris, don't it?

45:23

Yep, we'll hang back here and see if

45:25

we can figure out why Evil Ty wanted

45:27

into the greenhouse. I'm sure we can find

45:29

something in here. Right. We're off

45:32

to storage. Good luck, everyone. You

45:34

only get back from Texas. Stay safe. Alright,

45:36

greenhouse team. Let's load up the

45:38

cart and move out. Thank

45:50

you so much for coming. There's something

45:53

that we need to discuss. Of

45:55

course, V. You made it sound quite urgent

45:57

in your message. What's the problem? There's... something

46:00

that requires our immediate attention,

46:02

and I've prepared

46:05

this. Just

46:07

in case it's necessary. This

46:12

is a letter of resignation, Felix. What's

46:15

this all about? You're not quitting,

46:17

are you? Yes, this is my

46:19

letter of resignation. I'm

46:21

sorry it's had to come to this tide, but I'm about

46:24

to break the cardinal rule of being your assistant, and

46:27

I know that insubordination of this

46:29

calibre is completely unacceptable and punishable

46:31

by termination.

46:34

But this is important. More

46:37

important than my job here. I'm sure of it. Felix,

46:39

what is going on? What's the matter? This isn't

46:42

like you. I, um...

46:45

I saw something. I, um... I

46:47

witnessed one of the other ties doing...

46:50

Well. I know it's entirely forbidden

46:52

for me to relay information about one tie to

46:55

another, but I can't keep quiet about this. This

46:57

tie's putting the whole operation in jeopardy, and

46:59

there might not be any other ties left

47:01

if he's successful. My Felix, that is a

47:04

serious infraction indeed. Are you sure that you

47:06

want to do this? It's not too late

47:08

to change your mind. Tie. There is another

47:10

tie inside the compound who is planning

47:12

to use one of our weapons to

47:14

completely erase over and base along with

47:16

it. Specifically,

47:19

it appears that anyone involved with it over

47:21

during their time travel acquisition period is going

47:23

to be removed. So

47:26

there we are. The Rubicon

47:28

is crossed. It

47:30

is now too late to change my mind. That

47:34

does sound serious. Are you sure that you

47:36

heard correctly that ties betterage all constitute a

47:38

single person? I don't see how one

47:40

of them could be so out of line as to attempt

47:42

something like that. I saw it with my own eyes,

47:45

Tie. He had a weird

47:47

iteration of Night Walrus with him, and he

47:50

sort of briefly vanished due to the effects

47:52

of the weapon. If he successfully activates

47:54

it, it appears that all of the mics will be gone

47:56

from this timeline, and some of the ties too from the

47:58

sound of it. If it works for

48:00

them, I'm just not sure that the compound would

48:03

be anything we'd recognise. Why report

48:05

it to me then? Why not to Kaz? You

48:07

wouldn't be breaking protocol and he could put a

48:09

lid on all of this. Oh, I don't trust

48:11

Kaz any more than you do. He's proven perfectly

48:13

willing to liquidate all of the other ties in

48:15

other timelines. And, well, you're

48:17

the one in charge of the greenhouse. The

48:20

other tie said there was some sort of activation

48:22

switch inside of the greenhouse that would

48:24

allow him to access the weapon by himself.

48:26

Hmm, I don't know what

48:29

that could possibly mean. I am familiar with

48:31

every inch of the greenhouse. If there was

48:33

something like that hidden in there, I would

48:35

be the first to know about it. I

48:37

would have been the one to approve of.

48:39

No, no, no. I watched the mic iteration

48:41

vanish. The duplicate tie successfully uses the weapon

48:43

in the future, at least in one timeline.

48:45

And he said that he's going to do

48:47

so from the greenhouse. It's in there. You

48:50

don't have any idea what it could be? None at all.

48:53

I must say, Felix, I am disappointed in you.

48:55

I'm sorry that you thought this was worth

48:57

this insubordination, but you are wrong. This

49:00

is something that could have been sorted out in many other

49:02

ways. Assuming, of course, that

49:04

it isn't a mere misunderstanding. You

49:06

can ask the mic iteration himself.

49:09

He kept saying that his name is Nobody. The

49:12

other tie had me put him in 1839 in storage. We

49:16

can go there and ask him. You won't be doing

49:18

any such thing. I don't know what

49:20

has gotten into you, but it is dangerous.

49:22

Don't you see how this information could propagate?

49:25

A lot of people could get

49:27

hurt. Oh, don't be so dismissive,

49:29

Ty. Just think, please. Just... Have

49:32

you seen anything in the greenhouse that

49:34

matches the description? Felix, I

49:36

accept your letter of resignation. You are

49:38

dismissed. Goodbye. Well, Ty... One

49:43

last thing. What

49:46

was that? What was... That... Oh, there.

49:49

That was the wiring in the elevator

49:51

shorting out time. Because you're stuck down

49:53

here with me. I'm buying

49:56

some good people some time. Don't be petty, see? You're

49:58

the one who risked your job. My

50:00

job? What's in the greenhouse,

50:02

Ty? Why in the world would I tell you that?

50:05

Because you aren't going anywhere. Not anymore.

50:08

So you did know. I dare

50:10

say you underestimated me. Was that the entire plan?

50:12

To trap me down here in the trunk with

50:14

you forever? Because you've got to

50:16

leave some time and when I get out I'm finishing

50:18

the job. Eh. Not

50:21

if there isn't a job there for you to finish. Attention,

50:24

greenhouse. 11839. That's 11839. Please report to

50:26

11839 immediately. Okay.

50:35

I'm sure nobody will be happy to cooperate with

50:37

them after you've jammed him in storage like that.

50:40

If you won't tell me where the activation switch

50:42

is, then I'm sure nobody will tell them. You're

50:45

done. Hahahaha. We'll

50:49

see about that, won't we? Standard

50:51

issue, Ty Threats. What does that even

50:54

mean? I am

50:56

changing my intention. Changing

50:59

your intention? Changing- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

51:02

Excellent. I guess your

51:04

plan wasn't foolproof after all, Felix. You

51:07

are the weakest link. Goodbye. Oh

51:22

bloody hell, I hope that gave them enough time.

51:28

Y'all find anything over there? What did

51:30

nobody say that we're looking for again?

51:32

According to the text that I got

51:34

from Mikey, we're looking for a valve

51:36

what turns the river off and then

51:38

some kind of activation switch underneath the

51:40

river. All I found

51:42

is a bunch of bugs and weeds.

51:45

Someone's going to end up with a parasite. You

51:48

know, I've had tapering before. It wasn't pleasant.

51:51

I mean, it's not like we can call up

51:53

the cutting grass guys and get them to mow

51:55

the forest. But you can install a valve that

51:57

controls the river. That don't feel natural to me.

52:00

I mean, the greenhouse isn't infinitely large, it

52:02

has to end somewhere. Which

52:04

means that the river has to end at the

52:06

edge of the dome, and the water has to

52:08

come in from somewhere. Hence the valve. Hence the

52:10

valve. What, you don't know where it is, Mr.

52:13

Game Warden? Not my

52:15

job. Every time I've been out here, the

52:17

river's already been flowing. Everything's been

52:19

in perfect, very similitude. You've

52:22

been quite a minute, Helen. Everything

52:24

going okay over there? Yeah, um,

52:26

yeah, I guess so. I've

52:29

just been thinking about how my son is going to

52:31

kill me, and how he killed all of you. Some

52:34

light, ruminating, you could say. Really

52:37

makes you question your choices you've

52:39

made as a parent. I mean,

52:41

if it helps, that's really more Mikey's thing? Like

52:43

we had a huge fight over it, but it's

52:45

mostly over now. Last time we heard from Hunter,

52:47

he actually helped us win the showdown in the

52:49

Shadowdome. Troy will not shut up about the tater

52:51

tot hot dish he made for everyone at the

52:53

command center. That's funny. I

52:56

make those for him when he's sick. God,

52:59

I get the impression that you all are always

53:01

involved in something. We try to stay in

53:03

as much trouble as possible, if and we

53:05

can help it. I don't think

53:08

I have the room to criticize. The whole

53:10

reason Ty and I ended up here

53:12

is because I stole literal time travel

53:14

technology from Walters. It's cute how

53:16

you call him Walters. He

53:19

wanted to be called Nobody, but it's

53:21

not exactly a good nickname. It's

53:23

too confusing, and it's definitely copying

53:25

the Odyssey. Agreed. That

53:28

and the little shit. But he's

53:30

leading us right to the kill switch on

53:32

this thing, so I guess I appreciate the

53:35

change of heart. Being locked up by

53:37

your associate will do that to you. Are

53:39

you speaking from experience, Helen? I

53:41

may have gotten in a couple of scrapes in my day.

53:43

Your day being 1980? Maybe.

53:47

I guess you are Hunter's mom after all. You

53:49

want to regale us with a tail, Helen? Well,

53:53

the worst I ever got hurt wasn't even in a fight.

53:56

It was right after I moved to North Dakota. I'd never ridden a horse before,

53:58

but there was a lot of people who were in the fight. was this

54:00

guy that I really wanted to

54:02

impress. And long

54:04

story short, I fell off of the horse and

54:06

ended up in the hospital and, well,

54:09

we're married now. I can relate,

54:11

Pilgrim. I've also fallen

54:13

off a horse trying to impress

54:15

my boyfriend. Do we have another

54:17

person joining the cowboy club? Fine,

54:20

what do we go with, outlaw Helen? Does

54:23

that have a ring to it? No, sir,

54:25

Tex has already got his outlaw tie. How's

54:27

about Helen the Devil, Hartley? Oh,

54:30

um, no,

54:33

thank you. Bet

54:35

blasphemous that. How about

54:37

Helen the Reverend, Hartley?

54:39

I like that much better. Thank

54:42

you, Chris. I'm still partial

54:44

to the Devil. You

54:46

really bite into that word, the

54:48

Devil. Well, you ain't the one getting

54:50

the chews, are ya? There it is. Well

54:53

then, Helen, by the power

54:55

invested in me, what from

54:57

being a cowboy for so

54:59

long, I hereby pronounce you

55:01

Helen the Reverend Hartley. So

55:04

you're gonna need some cowboy flair. So

55:07

I also hereby bestow this here

55:10

cowboy hat upon you. Oh,

55:12

Michael, that's much too

55:14

generous. I saw how much the

55:16

cowboy hats cost in the over gift shop and this

55:18

one seems much nicer. Oh,

55:21

I can iterate another, no problem.

55:24

Oh, right. I

55:26

forget that you can just make duplicates of anything

55:28

you want. Iterations, not

55:31

duplicates. That's important. Ty

55:33

says duplicates. Ty's my friend. Baby

55:36

Ty is your friend, you mean. He's

55:38

not as pleasant to be around once he grows up, let me tell ya.

55:41

Does, like one of them Moscovy ducks

55:43

that start out cute as chicks and

55:45

then grow up all ugly-like. But

55:48

you ain't gotta worry about that for a long

55:50

time, Helen. Uh, Helen,

55:52

whatcha looking at? Is

55:54

that ridge there normal? Is

55:57

it in the outside version of the forest, I mean. It looks

55:59

more like a forest. It's too round.

56:02

It doesn't look familiar. I think I would

56:04

remember that. Hey Michael, do you have something

56:06

to dig with? I got

56:08

a multi-tool. It ain't much but

56:10

it can move a little dirt. Alright

56:14

let's see what we got here. Would

56:17

you look at that. What do you know Helen? This

56:19

here looks like it's a water main. I

56:22

bet this goes all the way to that valve we're

56:24

looking for. Awesome! So

56:26

now all we have to do is follow the ridge and turn off

56:28

the valve. And dig around in

56:30

the riverbed looking for a switch that we

56:32

don't know the appearance of and figure out how

56:34

to destroy it and doing all of that

56:36

before evil tie shows up and starts

56:39

causing problems. That

56:41

ain't our only problem cause we could

56:44

blink. Alright

56:49

everybody watch out! There is a giant horse

56:51

roaming around these parts and he likes to

56:53

eat my shirts so if you see him,

56:55

fucking defend me cause this is my favorite

56:58

shirt. Troy do you mean Bluster? Bluster's totally

57:00

safe. He wouldn't hurt you. He wouldn't hurt

57:02

a fly. Alright listen, I'm

57:04

not a fly Papa Mike. I'm Troy. I'm

57:06

an adult boy okay and Bluster is not

57:08

one of the Troy boys so him and

57:11

I have beef permanently and again this is

57:13

my favorite. This is my favorite shirt so

57:15

I'm stressing. I need you all to. Bluster

57:19

wouldn't hurt a Troy either. You know Troy,

57:22

the horse can get to your shirt if

57:24

you just take it off. Marissa!

57:27

Put your shirt back on. What? It just

57:29

makes sense. Yes, let's all keep our shirts

57:31

on. Don't sweat it Troy, I've got

57:34

your back. If anyone comes at us I've

57:36

got my trusty rocket launcher. They won't stand

57:38

a chance. You aren't going to

57:40

shoot Bluster with the rocket launcher. Tex would

57:42

go ballistic. Oh my god, fine. But

57:44

that fucking bear better hope I don't see

57:47

him again while I'm here. I've killed him

57:49

once, I'll do it again. And

57:51

this time I got a rocket launcher. Now

57:54

you aren't going to shoot a bear with

57:57

a rocket launcher babe. We're

57:59

on important. business and this

58:01

is important work. Also, that

58:03

would make a big mess. What

58:05

about after the important business?

58:08

Okay, fine. Maybe after the

58:10

important business. Yes! I'm

58:12

glad I'm not a bear, because I

58:14

hate getting shot with a rocket launcher.

58:16

Troy, just out of curiosity, have

58:19

you ever been shot with a rocket

58:21

launcher before? No, but I hate it.

58:24

Okay, no, let's just go inside

58:26

before any rockets get launched, please. Yeah,

58:29

I'm with Charlie. Rocket launcher doesn't sound

58:31

like a word anymore. Howdy

58:35

folks. Glad y'all could make it. If

58:38

you could please not point that at

58:40

me, Marissa, that'd be much appreciated. Ugh,

58:43

fine. Everyone's being so weird about a

58:45

rocket launcher. You can set it

58:47

down right here, and we're done talking. I'll

58:50

always love you, Sunshine. Rocket launcher

58:52

or no rocket launcher? Alright. Bye,

58:55

rocket launcher. Be on your best behavior until I

58:57

get back, okay? Patio, seems like we're

58:59

all in the same predicament together, ain't

59:01

we? I assume that all

59:03

of you also blinked out of existence?

59:05

We've been blinking on and off like

59:08

a dang light bulb, Marissa. Except for

59:10

Stinky. He ain't blinking. No, he

59:12

ain't. He's the only

59:14

one. And that is why we

59:16

called you. Bad vibes are coming

59:19

our way, and Tex owes us

59:21

all a long overdue explanation about

59:23

Stinky. And while you're here, I'm

59:25

hoping you can fill us in

59:27

on this whole nobody hootin' nanny.

59:30

Yeah, the others went to go

59:32

find the hootin' hootin'

59:34

nanny. We split up and

59:36

came here, and they're going to the storage locker

59:38

to get him. They think he

59:40

can help with the blink. Alright, long

59:42

story short, the compound is building a

59:45

super nuke with the super special funky

59:47

fresh ability of fuck you specifically in

59:49

every universe you've ever existed in

59:51

forever. Nobody was working

59:53

with an evil iteration of time, that

59:55

is an extra evil iteration, to steal

59:57

the super nuke and use the pro themselves.

1:00:00

But it looks like Evil Ty is done

1:00:02

playing with his little toy nobody. His intentionality

1:00:05

or whatever it is is why we keep

1:00:07

blinking in and out of existence. And

1:00:10

I was in the bathroom when it

1:00:12

happened. And since we're trying to prevent

1:00:14

a super nuke from going off, it's

1:00:17

pretty inconvenient that we keep blinking out

1:00:19

of existence. We're lucky we got Stinky

1:00:21

then. He ain't going nowhere. Ain't

1:00:23

that right, Stinky? I

1:00:25

guess so. I mean it's not like I'm

1:00:28

choosing to do anything. I'm just a... Vibing.

1:00:31

Thank you, m-dog. I'm vibing. So

1:00:34

why isn't Stinky affected? Felix leaked as

1:00:36

much information to us as he could

1:00:38

and it seemed like a full connectivity

1:00:40

strike. Which would mean all

1:00:43

of the mics, right? Sounds like we're

1:00:45

all royally fucked up if we don't stop it,

1:00:47

so what makes this Stinky dipshit stinkier than the

1:00:49

recipes anyway? Well this

1:00:51

Stinky dipshit ain't connected to us for

1:00:53

one. Wait, so Stinky isn't Mikey?

1:00:55

Does that mean that I shouldn't be calling him

1:00:58

Biscuits and Gravy? Because that's what I call Mikey.

1:01:00

You know, we're friends like that. I call him

1:01:02

Biscuits and Gravy. No. I

1:01:04

call him Biscuits and Gravy and he calls

1:01:06

me Titata Hotdot. And I can say that

1:01:08

now because I've been practicing in the mirror.

1:01:11

Tex, we've been dealing with the Stinky problem

1:01:13

for a while now. Why didn't you tell

1:01:15

us about this sooner? I don't like being

1:01:17

called really any of the things that you've

1:01:19

been calling me. Stinky hears a valuable sort

1:01:21

of iteration. Honestly, I didn't even

1:01:24

know what I had when I won him. I

1:01:26

just knew he was supposed to be

1:01:29

valuable. It weren't until all this commotion

1:01:31

started that I understood why. I'm sorry,

1:01:33

what? You won,

1:01:35

Stinky? As a prize? Yup.

1:01:38

Won him in a game of poker fair

1:01:40

and square. It's fair and

1:01:42

square if everyone's cheating and you cheat

1:01:44

right back at him. Yes, exactly. Thank

1:01:47

you. Finally, someone gets it. And

1:01:49

that's why nobody wants to play

1:01:51

Monopoly with you anymore, babe. Yup.

1:01:53

And because I won him in a bet,

1:01:55

I can tell y'all exactly how much he's

1:01:58

worth. That is $150. $5,078.63

1:02:00

worth of stinky. But

1:02:05

I'm willing to round down to a hundred thousand

1:02:07

if I got any takers. A hundred grand? I

1:02:09

mean, come on, Tex, that's not really that much

1:02:11

money at the end of the day. I mean,

1:02:13

if you needed a hundred grand, you could have

1:02:15

just asked me. That's what friends are for. I

1:02:17

got you, you know that. The hell kind of poker

1:02:19

game where you're playing anyway, Tex? Someone

1:02:21

just happened to have a Mikey lying around? Michael,

1:02:25

who did you win him from? Better

1:02:27

yet, who would play you in poker for

1:02:29

that kind of money? Won him

1:02:32

off another Michael, of course. And he

1:02:35

just had stinky with him? Yep,

1:02:37

and he owed me $105,078. He

1:02:42

really sold me on old stinky here.

1:02:44

Said he had magical properties. I

1:02:47

didn't believe him, but it was either

1:02:49

take stinky with me or

1:02:51

gun the sorry bastard down in the back

1:02:53

of a bar for not being able to

1:02:55

pay up. So I took stinky.

1:02:58

I didn't know what he meant by

1:03:00

magic, but after seeing what happened today,

1:03:02

I got some ideas. Right, it's because

1:03:04

stinky doesn't blinky, right? Okay, but

1:03:07

it's not magic. So

1:03:09

why isn't stinky affected? I

1:03:12

ain't positive, but my best

1:03:14

guess is that his connectivity

1:03:16

is completely removed from ours.

1:03:18

This year, stinky ain't never played

1:03:20

no Wobbegone. He ain't never worked

1:03:22

no patrolling over. All he

1:03:25

knows about that stuff is what

1:03:27

he learned from the other Michael.

1:03:29

But his experiences ain't ours. He

1:03:31

doesn't have scars on his back

1:03:33

from the bear attack. That's what

1:03:35

set off my vibes meter originally.

1:03:37

Connectivity strike can't never reach him.

1:03:39

He might as well be a whole

1:03:41

nother person. I am a whole nother

1:03:43

person. Outlaw, we all are. Everyone who's

1:03:45

a person is a person. Like that's,

1:03:48

I'm not the one who's being complicated.

1:03:50

The connectivity begs to differ. At

1:03:52

least for those of us who are, Blinken.

1:03:54

Okay, so you won this valuable Mikey in

1:03:56

a poker game. And then why

1:03:58

did you stick him in Storm? storage inside

1:04:00

the compound. Safe-keeping. This was back

1:04:03

when the compound was toying with

1:04:05

the idea of destroying base. I

1:04:08

needed to jailbreak our Mikey out of storage,

1:04:10

and I needed someone to stick in there

1:04:12

in his place. Stinky seemed like

1:04:14

the perfect fit. No one at the compound

1:04:17

knew he was magic, so they wouldn't come

1:04:19

looking for him. And he was safe, up

1:04:22

till nobody started poking his dang nose in

1:04:24

where it don't belong and let him out.

1:04:27

And it kept him out of my hair.

1:04:29

Last thing I want is him here nipping

1:04:31

at my heels all day long. Nipping at

1:04:33

your heel? I'm not a dog, Tex. It's

1:04:35

starting to hurt my feelings, that you're talking

1:04:37

about me like I'm not here. Hush up.

1:04:39

Growing ups are talking. Okay, well,

1:04:41

that's easy enough. Stinky is how

1:04:43

we stop the supernuke from going off, right?

1:04:46

We might be at risk of blinking

1:04:48

out of existence, but he's not. He

1:04:51

can walk right through the greenhouse no matter

1:04:53

what side of the intentionality superposition he's on.

1:04:56

Easy enough? Well, there you go then. All we

1:04:58

have to do is send him into the compound

1:05:00

with a bomb and just blow evil-sized guy high.

1:05:03

Stinky don't know nothing about the compound, though. He

1:05:05

ain't never been there. Except in

1:05:07

storage. He don't know how to navigate the

1:05:09

hallways, and he don't know where the greenhouse is. Not

1:05:12

been, outlaw. Been. He ain't

1:05:14

ever been there. Well, just

1:05:16

draw on the fucking map then. I don't know.

1:05:18

It's a big place, but it's not rocket

1:05:20

launcher science to get from point A

1:05:22

to B. Would a map we drew

1:05:24

survive the blink? Ain't no way of

1:05:26

knowing. When they all blinked, the house

1:05:29

was abandoned. It didn't look like anyone

1:05:31

lived here. I think most of

1:05:33

their stuff was gone. All right, well, we'll just

1:05:35

explain it to them then. How's your memory, Stinky?

1:05:37

Did you still remember these ugly mugs when they

1:05:39

blinked on you? They are ugly mugs,

1:05:41

aren't they, Marissa? Yes, I remember

1:05:44

them and how ugly they

1:05:46

were, because they get to call me

1:05:48

Stinky. You gotta tell Bluster all this,

1:05:50

too. That's a smart horse. He got

1:05:52

a head like a steel trap. I'm

1:05:54

not explaining the layout of the compound

1:05:56

to a horse, Tex. Yeah,

1:05:59

why should- Do we tell him anything? He ate

1:06:01

my shirt. Bluster probably already knows how to get

1:06:03

around the compound. Texas told him all sorts

1:06:05

of campfire stories about the place. You

1:06:07

know, I can never really tell

1:06:10

if you're joking about Bluster or not. If

1:06:12

you're not, then I'm not convinced he's not just

1:06:15

two dudes in a horse suit. He

1:06:17

is a pretty bodaciously smart

1:06:19

horse. But he's smart

1:06:22

for a horse, right?

1:06:24

There is considerable overlap between

1:06:26

the smartest horse and the

1:06:29

dumbest person. He's smarter

1:06:31

than Troy. Yeah, okay. I believe

1:06:33

that. Bluster went to Emory University.

1:06:35

Nuh-uh. If Bluster thinks he's so

1:06:37

smart, can he do this? Look

1:06:41

how fast I clapped my hands there. Like

1:06:44

it or not, that there evil tie is one of

1:06:46

us, so I know what he's thinking. And

1:06:48

we gotta act fast and get us a plan in order,

1:06:50

folks. He ain't gonna wait around for us

1:06:52

to get our shit together. And the closer

1:06:54

we get to him activating that thing, the

1:06:57

closer the blinks are gonna come. We're

1:06:59

getting closer to full imposition. All right,

1:07:01

I just got a text from Mikey.

1:07:03

He says that they found nobody in

1:07:05

storage. And according to him,

1:07:07

there's a valve that shuts the

1:07:09

river off in the greenhouse. The

1:07:11

valve changes locations, apparently, so he

1:07:13

couldn't tell us where it was.

1:07:17

And the activation switch is under

1:07:19

the river. I am forwarding

1:07:21

that to Michael now. Okay,

1:07:24

under the river isn't very specific. I

1:07:26

assume you keep calling it a river.

1:07:28

I assume it's pretty big. So I'm

1:07:30

supposed to find this valve that's somewhere

1:07:33

in a forest and then search an

1:07:35

entire riverbed by myself. We're trying to

1:07:37

get that $100,000 value out of you.

1:07:41

I'm sure that nobody would have been

1:07:43

more specific if he could have been.

1:07:45

That's how time travel security works. Everything

1:07:47

just keeps moving around. Here, Stinky, take

1:07:49

the calculator. I think you should have

1:07:52

it just in case something happens to us. Oh,

1:07:54

yeah, sure. Just give him a calculator so he can

1:07:56

make a run for it. Marissa, it's too late

1:07:58

to worry about that. We're blinking. in

1:08:00

and out of existence here. Stinky, you're not

1:08:02

gonna leave us high and dry are you?

1:08:05

No, I guess not, but I don't know

1:08:07

how to use this thing. You'll be fine,

1:08:09

Stinky. Here, I'll program some locations in it,

1:08:11

sort of like a speed dial, uh, the

1:08:13

greenhouse will be the first one. You shouldn't

1:08:15

need the others. Alright, well, back to

1:08:17

the greenhouse it is then. It is

1:08:20

on driving the car. We'll search for as long

1:08:22

as we can, but you do need to be ready

1:08:24

to take over, Stinky. We never know

1:08:26

when we're gonna blink out, and if we

1:08:28

do, then you'll be the only one left.

1:08:30

Alright then, team, c'mon, time's a-wastin'. We're gonna

1:08:33

turn this place upside down so good that

1:08:35

we're gonna think we're in the southern hemisphere.

1:08:37

If I don't get at least one shot at

1:08:39

the rocket launcher before this thing is done,

1:08:41

then I'm gonna be SAAAAAKE. Uh,

1:08:48

guys? Stinky, where

1:08:50

did everyone go? Troy, how are you here? You were

1:08:52

with them in the greenhouse when they blinked, right? So,

1:08:55

did you not go with them? I don't know, man,

1:08:57

I was in the bathroom. I came back and everyone

1:08:59

was saying that they blinked, and I know I blinked

1:09:01

while I was in the bathroom because my eyes were

1:09:03

hurting when not blinking, and I thought maybe I just,

1:09:05

that meant I blinked too because they did. Well,

1:09:08

it is just me and you, Troy.

1:09:10

And we've gotta

1:09:12

figure this all out, because I don't think

1:09:14

they're coming back. Oh, no, wait for Charlie.

1:09:16

I- I miss her, and it's-

1:09:19

it's hard when she's not here, and it sounds like you're asking

1:09:21

me to think, and I'm scared. It isn't safe

1:09:24

to wait for Charlie. If we wait, she could

1:09:26

be gone forever, at which point they might as

1:09:28

well just leave the gate to over wide open.

1:09:30

Okay, let's- let's save Charlie, then.

1:09:34

How do we do that? We are

1:09:36

going to use this calculator to get

1:09:38

into the greenhouse, using the coordinates that

1:09:40

Mike gave us. And then

1:09:42

from there, we've gotta find a valve, which

1:09:44

will turn off the river, and then we've

1:09:46

got to find an activation switch in the

1:09:48

river. That sounds really hard. No arguments here.

1:09:51

But hey, the rocket launcher is still

1:09:53

here, and we've got a

1:09:55

giant horse here, too.

1:09:59

So I guess we should- should go see if

1:10:01

he's as smart as Tex says he

1:10:03

is. Why are you taking off your shirt? I don't want to

1:10:05

let him eat it this time. It's my favorite

1:10:07

shirt. Put your shirt back on. Oh,

1:10:09

fine, fine. Hey,

1:10:18

any luck with that thing yet? Yeah,

1:10:20

sort of. I mean, check this out.

1:10:23

I've figured out that if you put

1:10:25

this in this spot and you push

1:10:27

this button, the one

1:10:29

bear turns into two

1:10:31

bears. So I don't know

1:10:33

if that helps. It doesn't. We don't want

1:10:36

any more bears. We don't even want the

1:10:38

bear we have. And we

1:10:40

definitely don't want the calculator to make

1:10:42

more of whatever it's pointed at. We're

1:10:44

trying to get the single version of

1:10:46

us to the greenhouse. Cool.

1:10:49

So what should we

1:10:51

do with all these bears? Because honestly, I think

1:10:54

you're right. I think maybe we have too many

1:10:56

bears. Just give me the calculator. OK,

1:10:59

there's the coordinate field. And

1:11:03

here is the log of coordinates that

1:11:05

Mike said that he gave me. So

1:11:08

the first one's got to be the greenhouse,

1:11:10

because that's where we're supposed to go. So

1:11:14

if I push this button,

1:11:17

perfect. One bear down, three to

1:11:19

go. There are just the

1:11:21

three more bears, right, Troy? Yes, exactly. Four

1:11:23

more bears, right. That's a different number, Troy.

1:11:25

What happened to the other one? All right,

1:11:27

listen, I guess one of them wandered off.

1:11:29

I don't know. I might have

1:11:31

counted wrong. There's maybe a loose bear. It's fine.

1:11:34

Whatever. Have fun in Texas,

1:11:36

you dumb bear. OK, let's

1:11:39

just move the ones we have left. Are

1:11:44

you sure they're going to be OK in the greenhouse?

1:11:46

I thought the greenhouse was for plants, and I don't

1:11:48

know how to water a bear. Weren't you just in

1:11:50

the greenhouse? You have to know

1:11:52

what it is. You were just there.

1:11:54

It's a place for trees where bad

1:11:56

things happen, and sometimes, sometimes it's a

1:11:58

bathroom. Troy, is this. Is all an

1:12:01

act a very, very

1:12:03

exhausting act? Is

1:12:05

what all an act? You

1:12:08

think that I'm merely pretending to be

1:12:10

an idiot, but I'm secretly always in

1:12:12

control of the situation. Is

1:12:15

that what you think? Is that

1:12:17

why things just keep magically working out for me?

1:12:20

Am I flinch? Seriously, stinky,

1:12:23

I'm asking you. Right

1:12:25

here, right now, just you and I. Am

1:12:29

I flinch? I wasn't

1:12:31

listening. I got the calculator figured out, so

1:12:33

we're good to go on the greenhouse. We

1:12:36

should probably hurry up before Ty figures out how

1:12:38

to erase us too. Have you ever

1:12:41

fired a rocket launcher before? Yes, yeah.

1:12:43

In a video game? In

1:12:45

a video game, yes. Okay, I don't know how

1:12:47

to fire it either, but we're gonna have to

1:12:49

figure it out because we're gonna blow up evil

1:12:51

Ty. Make sure you're careful not

1:12:53

to fall off the horse when you shoot the

1:12:56

rocket launcher. I'm not going to be on a

1:12:58

horse, what are you talking about? The shirt horse.

1:13:01

We are going with shirt horse, aren't we? Bluster?

1:13:04

I really don't think we should take Bluster with

1:13:06

us. Tex will tell

1:13:08

you he's a battle horse, but I

1:13:11

don't want him to get hurt. You know, I am

1:13:13

afraid of him eating my shirt, but more importantly, I

1:13:15

think I'm afraid of the five bears that you sent

1:13:17

to the place we're going. That is the wrong number

1:13:20

of bears, again, but that is a good point. Bluster

1:13:23

is a lot bigger than the bears,

1:13:25

so we should bring him along for

1:13:27

safety. Is that okay with you, Bluster? Troy,

1:13:31

watch out. Bluster, that's my

1:13:33

shirt! That's my shirt! We don't have anything in

1:13:35

my shirt! Troy, he's not eating your shirt. He's

1:13:37

trying to pick you up and put you on

1:13:39

his back. So take

1:13:41

a deep breath. Relax.

1:13:45

Go with the flow. Be

1:13:47

like water. Be

1:13:50

bodacious. Like Imdog would

1:13:52

say. Okay, alright, if you say

1:13:54

so, just good horsey. Nice

1:13:56

horsey. Alright, and now as Tex...

1:14:00

might say, let's

1:14:02

ride out and bag us a

1:14:04

varmint pild. Ah! EE

1:14:49

son son

1:15:07

son son

1:15:18

son son son

1:15:25

son son

1:15:29

son son

1:15:41

son son

1:15:45

son son

1:16:00

when I used to carbonate

1:16:02

a patch more than I

1:16:04

could carry already I

1:16:07

can't mater how many pounds of

1:16:10

pain I never felt no,

1:16:14

nono, don't squeeze your

1:16:17

nerves resonator

1:16:19

of life below

1:16:21

the rainbow the hold

1:16:24

of love the

1:16:26

hearing off the

1:16:29

song of a dragon

1:16:32

the shameful song the

1:16:36

skin of the gold is off

1:16:39

the flesh of the fruit is soft you

1:16:43

can get away with harvesting

1:16:46

but not if you're still your god

1:16:50

the motive is by the god

1:16:54

the master of the pit

1:16:56

is gone pain is just

1:16:58

pain so I hope for your sake

1:17:00

that the impetus will be true the

1:17:04

song of a dragon the

1:17:07

holy holy body in us is

1:17:09

the prince the

1:17:11

holy holy body in us

1:17:15

is the spirit of the Lord the

1:17:18

holy holy the

1:17:31

holy holy the holy holy the

1:17:34

holy holy the holy holy

1:17:40

the skin of the gold is off the

1:17:43

flesh of the fruit is

1:17:46

soft you can get away with harvesting but

1:17:50

not if you're still your god the

1:17:54

motive is by the god the

1:17:58

master of the pit is gone I

1:18:01

mean it just pays a lot

1:18:03

for your things that means that it

1:18:05

will be too. Alright,

1:18:21

I did it. We are here. Good

1:18:24

morning. The mud rain will commence in five minutes. Please

1:18:27

make an ordinary exit from the greenhouse

1:18:29

or locate the emergency mud stopper panel

1:18:32

on the side of the dome. Okay,

1:18:34

Troy, we've got five minutes. Are you

1:18:36

ready? Yes. What are

1:18:38

we doing? Okay, so we're finding evil tie

1:18:40

and we're looking for a valve to

1:18:42

turn off the river. And also apparently

1:18:44

we're turning off the mud rain. That

1:18:46

seems pretty important. Okay,

1:18:50

well there's evil tie. Check. Do you see the valve?

1:18:53

I don't see it anywhere. This

1:18:55

is huge. How are we ever going to find anything?

1:18:57

Okay, Mr. Prince, turn the bed. Troy,

1:19:00

he's not going to find us but okay, we're moving

1:19:02

so maybe he does have an idea. Oh,

1:19:04

where is he taking us? Oh, he

1:19:07

where someone dug up some hiked bear emo all the way

1:19:09

down the ridge. And closer to the bears.

1:19:12

What the hell are you doing here? Mikey, is

1:19:14

that you? How are you here? This could be

1:19:16

done with the rest of us. Sir, I'm

1:19:19

going to need you to stay over there where the

1:19:21

bears are. I am currently armed with a rocket launcher.

1:19:24

Okay. In case you come

1:19:26

any closer, I will have to use the

1:19:28

rocket launcher to do whatever you do with

1:19:30

the rocket launcher does to you. Sir, so

1:19:32

please stay back while we find the valve.

1:19:34

I may have miscalculated. No, I never get

1:19:36

things wrong. How is Troy even here? No

1:19:39

matter. We don't know what you're looking for. There's

1:19:41

the valve. I'm going to jump down and shut it

1:19:44

off. I want you and Bluster to hook it. Get

1:19:46

to the river, find the switch as fast as you can. I'll

1:19:49

distract Ty and hopefully find the mud

1:19:51

rain shutdown button. Got it. Warning,

1:19:55

the mud rain will commence in three

1:19:57

minutes. It will rain mud. Please

1:20:00

make an orderly exit from the greenhouse, or

1:20:03

locate the emergency mud stopper panel on the

1:20:05

side of the dome. You aren't getting anywhere

1:20:07

near this river, Ty. Ha ha ha ha!

1:20:10

I don't know what iteration of Mikey you are,

1:20:12

but you shouldn't even be here. You're a rounding

1:20:14

error. You're something I'm going to have to fix

1:20:16

in post after I set this off. Step aside,

1:20:18

Mikey. You know, you talk a big game for

1:20:21

someone surrounded by bears, and also it's stinky. It's...

1:20:23

stinky? I'm trying to own it. We don't

1:20:26

get to pick our nicknames, okay? And I

1:20:28

don't know you, but I know Outlaw, Ty.

1:20:30

So I know that you're a lowdown, no-good

1:20:32

cur compared to him. You don't know me. Like,

1:20:35

who the hell are you, stinky?

1:20:37

I'm your worst fucking nightmare, Ty.

1:20:43

Troy, find the switch already! We are working

1:20:45

on it, okay? Bluster is digging as fast

1:20:47

as he can. Warning, the mud rain

1:20:49

will commence in two minutes. Leave him, Troy! Nothing

1:20:51

will be spared from the mud storm. Please

1:20:53

make an orderly exit from the greenhouse. You didn't

1:20:55

even care about this. I'm going to take the

1:20:57

emergency to my stopper panel on the side of

1:20:59

the dome. No more government-operated time-travel honeypot where they

1:21:02

put all the most suspicious people in the country

1:21:04

together to do whatever they please. Think

1:21:06

of the sheer amount of hassle stopping them

1:21:08

will remove from the world. And there's still

1:21:10

one of you left, so you don't even

1:21:12

lose anything. Yeah, yeah, you don't get iterative

1:21:14

personhood. Ha, I found it! This

1:21:17

is the panel. Alright, uh...

1:21:20

This is all in Latvian. What's a Latvian word

1:21:22

for mud? Uh... Warning, the mud

1:21:24

rain will commence in sixty seconds. Not

1:21:27

even God will be able to see you

1:21:29

through the mud. Okay, we found it! We

1:21:31

got it! Hurry up and destroy the switch,

1:21:33

Bluster, because if Duke Lietzus doesn't have mud

1:21:35

rain, then we might be screwed. Oh, found

1:21:37

it! Hell yeah, Bluster. Shoot him,

1:21:39

Troy! I can't figure out how... Just wait,

1:21:41

hold on, okay, this is, uh... Uh,

1:21:43

Doc! Take it! We're

1:21:58

back, folks. I'm hoping that

1:22:00

means we ain't gonna blink out again. I don't

1:22:03

think that's gonna be a problem. Look at that

1:22:05

crater! Yeah, something's made a big impact and picked

1:22:07

up a bunch of dust. I think I see

1:22:09

someone. Over in the dust cloud. My

1:22:13

god, that's Bluster. Hey

1:22:15

guys, welcome back. Look at you,

1:22:17

Stinky. Riding like a real cowboy.

1:22:20

Is that crater what I think it

1:22:22

is? If you think that it is

1:22:25

the smoldering remains of Evil Ti and

1:22:27

the Super Nuke activation switch, then yeah,

1:22:30

things got kinda monologu-y at the end

1:22:32

there, but I mean, it was Evil

1:22:34

Ti. You're not gonna call yourself evil

1:22:36

and then not be arch, right? Charlie,

1:22:38

we exploded him and it was so

1:22:40

cool and a little- Gross, admittedly.

1:22:42

It was kinda gross. Wait, Troy, did you not blink

1:22:45

out with the rest of us? How

1:22:47

the hell is Bluster here? No,

1:22:49

I don't- I guess not. I decided to stay

1:22:51

in Texas and help Stinky with the couch later.

1:22:55

Troy saves the day. I'll be damned.

1:22:57

You didn't decide anything. We

1:23:00

didn't have any choice to stop

1:23:02

existing. What can I say?

1:23:04

Non-existence sounds scary, so I decided

1:23:06

to stay behind. Also, me

1:23:08

and Bluster are tight now and he can

1:23:10

eat any of my shirts he wants. We

1:23:12

couldn't have done it without Bluster. He's the

1:23:14

one that found the pipe that led us

1:23:16

to the valve and then the valve led

1:23:18

us to the switch. The pipe we dug

1:23:20

up, you mean. Cause finding the water main

1:23:22

and digging it out was all Helen's doing.

1:23:25

Wait a sec. Where is

1:23:27

Helen? Has anyone seen her since

1:23:29

we got back? Maybe she's using the

1:23:32

bathroom. She could be with the others somewhere.

1:23:34

I don't think that everyone ended up necessarily

1:23:36

where they expected. I mean, Charlie, you're here

1:23:38

instead of in Texas. Uh, just

1:23:41

heard from the other teams. They're on their way

1:23:43

back right now. Hey!

1:23:52

What's going on? This is Lawrence. Bluster is going to

1:23:54

be here. I still don't know. I think these are

1:23:56

our heroes right here. Check

1:24:00

out the size of this crater!

1:24:02

Woo! See? Told y'all it was

1:24:04

a replica? Then why does it say replica on

1:24:06

the back? What? I don't like people touching

1:24:09

my shit. Felix! You came! Of course,

1:24:11

I'm delighted to be here, Ty. It's lovely

1:24:13

to be back. We couldn't have done it

1:24:15

without you, Felix. If we hadn't found nobody

1:24:18

in storage, we wouldn't have been able to

1:24:20

find the activation switch. Ah, you'd

1:24:22

have never forgiven me if I stood by and let all

1:24:24

the mics disappear. I had to

1:24:26

do something. Oh, one of the rest of us, chob-liver?

1:24:28

Yeah, yeah. T-Yeah. Yeah,

1:24:31

my apologies, Marissa. Anyone got ahold of

1:24:33

Helen? She's supposed to be here. When

1:24:35

the blink happened, she was here in

1:24:37

the greenhouse with us. Oh, first

1:24:39

they'd be Ty and now Helen's great. Where

1:24:42

do you think they went? I don't see why

1:24:44

they'd get erased if none of the rest of us

1:24:46

did. I suppose I should

1:24:48

ask Tracing for some help again. I'm not

1:24:50

sure that's a good idea, Ty. Tracing

1:24:52

was hoping nobody earned the rope to me.

1:24:54

He couldn't be trusted. He's playing

1:24:57

both types. So, I guess we track him

1:24:59

down ourselves. Alright, team. Y'all heard

1:25:01

the man. Let's get out there. Hey,

1:25:04

um... Texas? Troy, please.

1:25:06

Texas was my father. Call

1:25:08

me Tex. I'm

1:25:10

tired. And also, there's a lot

1:25:12

of bears in here. Can

1:25:14

I go home and go to bed? Alright,

1:25:17

Troy. You can go home. But

1:25:19

no other exceptions. The rest of

1:25:21

us are gonna roll up our sleeves and get to work. I

1:25:25

know a title about this and Tex. Alright,

1:25:27

a bunch of complainers. Never mind. Let's

1:25:30

all go home and go to bed. If

1:25:32

and y'all like sleep so much. Where

1:25:41

the hell am I? Ty? Howdy

1:25:43

there, Ellen. It's

1:25:45

great to finally meet you. My

1:25:48

name is Lieutenant. You're... You're

1:25:51

Michael. You're one of the

1:25:53

mics. No, ma'am. As I

1:25:55

said, my name is Lieutenant. And

1:25:58

I am here to welcome you to... Upper

1:26:00

Rose International. Say

1:26:02

that's a damn fine hat you got there.

1:26:05

I used to have one just like it. I

1:26:07

know you gave it to

1:26:09

me. Where am I? What

1:26:11

year is it? Look, you need to

1:26:13

send me back to 1980 right this instant. I'm

1:26:17

afraid I can't do that, ma'am. You're

1:26:20

gonna be staying with us for quite a

1:26:22

while, so it's time to

1:26:24

get settled in, Bart. Hey,

1:26:27

hey, where are you going? You

1:26:30

can't just leave me here. I need to go

1:26:32

home. I need to see my son. He

1:26:35

needs me. Hey! I

1:27:11

need you to know. You

1:27:13

wanna pick me up? I'll

1:27:15

be a rusty coin. I'll be

1:27:18

the lair of dirt. The

1:27:21

protection, new, cracky shell

1:27:23

when it is cold

1:27:26

and new or compromised.

1:27:28

You disordered my

1:27:30

alibi, so only

1:27:33

I know when it is

1:27:35

my time to go. When

1:27:37

the four feet drop inside,

1:27:40

they only want your hide

1:27:42

to be cold and you're

1:27:45

compromised. I'm

1:27:50

getting wide, and I'm

1:27:53

getting loose in

1:27:55

crack of the evil burden.

1:28:00

I see the things

1:28:02

that I want to see. I

1:28:05

will not find my students. I've

1:28:08

got enough. Let

1:28:10

the pain and the pain,

1:28:12

the peace that they get,

1:28:15

and the point is, I'm

1:28:17

only waiting. Let

1:28:19

me get you with

you seen this man under

Aftering everyone I can't. Do

1:28:51

you recognize his face? Because

1:28:53

I am looking for his

1:28:55

face. He is dangerous, cold,

1:28:57

and his compromise is

1:29:00

placed on my

1:29:02

apathy on a

1:29:04

guarantee that the worst

1:29:07

is clear of me. Let

1:29:09

the crazy end his

1:29:11

side because the world is

1:29:13

cool and you are compromised.
