## Transcript

I am back for a, like, basically power hour of control. I just wanted to do something in this game. I've got Emberville stuff all afternoon. It's Thursday. But, yeah, I just want to get back on and do something. So that is exactly what we all do.
Great, let's go. Oh, wait, did my controller not work? Of course it didn't work. Okay, this game has been wonderful.
We are going to the Ordinary Landfill to find some slides. Oh, I don't think it's saved before we did this part. That's fine. Got to back up real quick.
We got to kill some rats and get some slides. Got to kill some cats. So, it's Everville, you didn't release one for Eastside yet. Dude, I am so excited, man. Oh, my Lord. I can't wait for y'all to get your hands on it.
I can't wait to start the journey to really make it something absolutely amazing. It's the work begins man, the work begins this month. Woo! Rats suck. Yeah.
Okay. Feast your eyes on this. And now we have to get the slides. And we are officially caught up with yesterday.
Uh, can I get over there? I'm not going to carry on. Boop.
Ew, I know, right?
Pick up slide. All right. Hold on, I'm sure you can still find more slides first.
What are you doing over here? Being crappy. Let's see.
Okay, I hope we can get that slide. Maybe here. Oh. Pick a slide.
How about this one? What is that? It almost looks like we could go inside. Wow, we're actually in the slide?
This is crazy. Let's look around. Weird, it's just a house. Maybe it could be ours. like a secret playhouse. Sure, why not? I wonder how big this place is. Oh, it's locked.
This one is locked, too. This one is locked, too. Okay, just give me a theme. All right.
It's too bright to really see anything. Did something move? Is there a rocking chair? Maybe it's just the wind.
What are you meowing about in there?
Whoa, check out the dolls. Except they move around when no one's looking and murder people. and murder people. Stop it.
Okay, that's really creepy. Check out some of the other slides. Okay. Okay.
Does the sky look different here? Smell that? Like flowers, but I don't see any. Oh, God. Those guys look like we're in a meadow.
Oh, there's power lines. Weird. Yon, do you feel a little sleepy? Uh oh.
I think I'll take a nap. Maybe we should. I guess it's okay.
Did we just... I had the weirdest dream. Me too, I was in... I can't explain it. Everything melted. What happened?
Everything melted out here too. Freaky. Let's try another slide.
Where are we? A warehouse? What do you think? A bomb shelter? Well, it's almost like a church or a temple, like the place Grandma took us to last summer. Oh yeah, I remember all the candles.
Uh, hell? I don't like it. I wish Mom was here. Did something just move? move. He's just nervous. Can we go, please? Fine. I wonder where the next flight goes.
Do you feel that? I don't know.
Where's this place? It's so quiet, isn't it? There's something here. Someone, do you feel that? I can hear her. This is when they meet Polaris.
Like she's talking to us. I don't like it. She's friendly. This almost looks like fingers, like a hand.
I think I'll call her Polaris, like the star. Jesse, I want to leave. I'll come back later.
Well, I can't wait to tell Neil about this. Yeah. It's getting late. We should get home before you know. We forgot to eat lunch. We can have our snacks for dark dinner instead.
Fast travel home? Hmm. Loud snore.
I got you a donut I leave it here good night mom man that is so tragic dude crazy day how I'll be sitting in school let's go back tomorrow maybe we can farm more slides
you wanna bring the L2? yeah why not come on let's eat and go to bed ok He can have half my donut.
Nooooo. Nobody made him dinner. Dad was too drunk and Mom doesn't care. Whoa. Dylan, am I dreaming?
Wait, I remember this. The oldest house. Dr. Darling, let's go through this one more time, Dylan.
Again? But I already told you everything. Yes, but now we've recreated the scene. We have to be absolutely sure. Be a good boy. So you found the slides in what order? Be precise.
That one. This is where the first slide was. I think so. Dr. Darling? The thing was in a cave. We used to have these ghost stories about something like that. Okay, then we got...
You? Did the FTC find any of the kids in Ordinary? I'm afraid that's classified. The next one? My friend Neil, he wasn't with the other kids in the end.
What happened to him? Is he okay? One thing at a time, Dylan. Did you find my parents? Your parents selected you, Dylan, the Bureau won't.
We're your family now. Focus. Which one was next? Oh, to tell him that and then have what happened happen. Aki humming a Finnish tango.
There you are. Do you want the job or not? Dylan, do I know you? Do you know old Aki, the janitor? What job? You saw all my training. My assistant brought you here for the job. I go see?
Um, I don't, I'm not sure how I got here. Cool the Han, Zulu. I am insulting entire cultures right now, I'm sorry. Uh, what you leave behind, you find in front of you.
Okay, thanks. This is the last slide you found the first day? Yeah. Say yes. Yes. And then we use the slide projectors. Show me.
So you just put the slides in there, and it works. When you met the entity you called Polaris. Jesse called her Polaris. I don't. You mostly spoke to her.
Maybe French I need to take a little trip. That's This Is Not Now.
I was in Manhattan. I was... I can't remember. This night kept exploring the slides, didn't we?
Neil came with a lot of the time, who liked the Meadows slide best. We found eight slides altogether. There was only one we didn't visit. It was then Tom Barlow and his boys. I think they grabbed Neil and made him tell.
The slide projector went missing. Something horrible happened at school. I have to keep going. I have to keep going.
Can't believe they killed Mrs. Chester? What are we going to do? Huh? What? Mrs. Chester? What do you mean? Tom and his gang at school today? Stop acting weird. We need a plan.
Everything went bad after we found that slide projector. We've got to figure out who took it. Neil never came back from visiting the meadow he's been missing for days now just around town maybe somebody saw something are you scared no let's go
wait the kids killed a teacher might say here that way
Hey kids, listen. Your dad really needs to come talk to me.
Well, tell him I'm sorry to trip his honey, but tell him it's important he's running out of time. Where the hell's my ladder gone? Ugh. The music's weird.
Oh, he's looking for Bogus. I saw Tom Barlow and the other boys outside of our back. Focus was barking like crazy at him. And now I haven't seen him. I'm so worried.
Oh my God, are you alright? You saw Robyn, you were at school? I'm trying to find Freddie. I haven't seen him, have you? Not since, well, I've got James Tom Barlow. He's a terrible influence. I'm trying to police her involved too. My Freddie's a good boy.
Betsy, go and please tell me where Neil is. I'm sorry, we don't. I found my poor baby. Please tell me if you see him. I can't lose him. I can't lose Neil. I think this felt like a side projector. Being nuts, he goes from never believing.
We'll find him. I promise. The kid shouldn't be out. School's canceled for the rest of today, given what happened. Now there's a lot of missing kids. Just go home, all right?
Bogus. I hope Bogus is okay. Me too. Well bogus is okay. I don't know why they eat here but... Still missing. I guess that's around time someone saw something.
Yeah there's nothing else here. Alright.
Hey, John, what is control resonance? That's a great question.
The answer is... King. King. King. Can I go in the... Oh.
Are you okay? You look a little pale. My mom told me to go back to school. She didn't believe me when I told her about Mrs. Chester. You know anything about anyone stealing your slide projector? You might have heard something a bunch of kids in class were talking about it. It was the Sledge Hill King.
I thought it looked kind of sad without snow.
I think the look detector brought it here. Let's do it! Oh, God, no! The sides are open, they must be inside. Why is there a bloody dog thing?
The text is bogus, it's just real blood. It must be inside the slide. Can we not see what slide? Whoa! What is that at stake? Stay behind me.
Oh, God, what is that?
Ooh. Are you okay Yeah what was that thing I think it was more like who was that thing It was more like Sarah from my class It turned into a monster
More of them. Get ready to fight. Maybe if we're quiet we can see past.
I can barely tell who these kids are or used to being. I think it's everyone from school, all the kids. Not Neil though, I'd recognize him if he was in there. Thanks.
Uh, Jesse? Still in hide over there. They didn't see us. Is that Freddy in there?
I think I'm gonna throw up. What are they doing? Nursing, I think, like piglets. Ew, I think they're mom, but not. But not mother. Disgusting.
I wonder what it's like. We could. They'd let us. That was Polaris. Oh, Polaris saved him.
Damn. Look at that. Interesting. This is way too dangerous for you, but we still haven't found Neil. I can help.
You may have to listen to me because I'm older. I'll take you home, and then I'll deal with this. Oh, no. Finally, where the F have you two been?
Dad, don't put top back. There's a worried stick here. Inside, now. Oh, look at the mom. We heard what happened at school.
Jesus, what did you do? We didn't do anything. That's not what Tom Barlow says. I just got off the phone with the cops. They caught him on Sled Hill. He said you were the ones who attacked the teacher.
What's her name? This is Chester. Her. And you said something about a slide projector? You would never hurt anybody, Dad. I know that. I know that.
They said he was screaming about his new mom who would make everyone disappear. But they called in the feds and the cops want to come by here tomorrow. F. Gotta, gotta go back.
I gotta... That's enough. There's a curfew now and you're in violation. No dinner. You're grounded. Upstairs. Now. Mom, please.
No point going. It's enough to lift out of you They're just so I wish mom and dad didn't even exist
I wish they were gone Uh oh Ruh roh Please stop crying, Jesse
You don't get it Neal's Miss Nova Kids are turning into monsters. Miss Chester's dead. Even poor Bogus is probably dead. It's all my fault. If I hadn't found the slide projector, none of this would be happening. Anyway, I'm going to bed.
Is that a video game? Oh. I know. I just thought we could listen to the music. I thought it would help.
It helps. Thanks, Dylan. We'll figure it out. Let's get some sleep first.
Good night, Jesse.
Back in the oldest house.
I remember this night, I think. Started sleeping. I have to take a quick look around if I'm quiet. The fly projector. They're using it.
Well, well, let's lose on the right foot, I guess. You can't stay here if you want the job practice positions. You should be getting started soon.
There is time, but age will run out. Uh, thanks, I'll try. The hand slide, we're just going to find Solaris.
Ok, find that. That was weird. Oh? Hello, testing testing, hey, I can hear me. You can hear me again too, right?
That was exhilarating, terrifying but exhilarating. Next time maybe we'll find the entity T6 describes as Alara. No, no more expeditions. It's not safe. Like you can't be serious, there were casualties, yes, but we've only got started the first attempt.
We'll improve safety parameters. Maybe we can even retrace our steps. They might still be alive. We lost three good agents. And I heard... I heard... I...
Trench, are you okay? It's late. I'm going to sleep. We'll write an incident report in the morning. Dude, this is when the hit got to Trench, isn't it? This is like when everything started.
Leave us talk about... Oh, man. Dylan, young man, you should be in bed. You're officially a prime candidate now. You've got training in the morning.
Sorry, sister, I think I could sense Tolaris with the slide open. Really? Interesting. Dylan, you said you and your sister talked while in the hand slide, right? But there's no sound there, other than the resonance. So how did you hear each other?
I don't know. What the F are you doing in here, kid? Oh, it's Robert, so we know that that's the bad one. Right, let's go. He's with our taxi.
It's quite all right. Robert's teasing sort going back to his room. He's got a big day tomorrow. Ow, hey, that hurt. Just move it.
Wasn't I in New York? But I remember. Two of four stars. In ordinary, the next morning, it got worse. Day 15 morning.
I think it's okay to go downstairs. I don't hear anything. Bum, bum, bum, bum. Where are they?
Do you think Dad got a new job? Not a chance. All I know is nobody's here to tell us to stay inside. Did Jesse's wish come true?
It's the same note that was here yesterday. I'm looking about where they went. Where is everyone? All the adults are gone. Did you come out through this? Wishing that Mom and Dad would...
What? No. I mean, I don't think we did. The engine's still on? Oh. Oh God.
Is that a training miller? Good soil, good water, good for growth. Is she a mold monster? Is that what's going on? Did they find the mold?
This seems a little different though. It's turning into a sea. It's turning into one of those things in the cave. Sorry Bogus
Hmm. Hmm. All right, let's try going to the, uh, maybe they took the slide and took it back to the
place. We can also go back to the tunnel. Let's check up here if we're here.
Yeah, we're here. Cool, cool. Oh!
You missed some super important dialogue that confirms the theory by not trying to go back downstairs after being sent to your room? What was it? Do tell, friend. Do tell.
There's another one of those dumb monkeys you saw in the cave. Looks like Jelly, maybe? I'm going to have to follow him in. Just a lot of, I thought there was only one kid stuff.
That Jesse and Dylan are split from one kid. The mother saying she only had one child. And Dylan and Jesse aren't ours. Okay. Yeah, I mean, we're very much clued into that right now.
There's some really weird stuff going on between the two kids. Yeah. We also had the whole fact that Dylan had memories without her and then all of a sudden there was like two of them. There's a lot of weirdness going on. It's even stranger though that I don't know which one's the primary because she's older than him.
So, oh my god, she's here. They brought her here? Whispers, they're sleeping. We have to stop this. We have to turn off the fire projector.
I'll do it. What? You know I... Trust me, I'm quieter. You keep watch. It won't turn off. What do I do?
Plan B. We'll throw it in the pond behind the dump. They'll all drown. I've got it.
Dumb monkey.
Ow!
Dusty, okay? Take my hand. I'm not fast enough for you to protect her. We're gonna be good friends. No way. I've got you back.
Thank you.
Let's go. To the dumps.
More to the dumps. They're everywhere.
Thank you.
This music is awesome!
I'll take the progression to the pond. You keep a lookout.
Pine Carrot Training. A couple years later, maybe? What else does a person need except good music? You kind of sound like someone I know, knew.
No, Totakai. Everything sounds familiar when you hear it twice. What do you mean? A person who asks Wanker off the road, good for you, Juno. Juno.
Thanks. Is this main story? Yes. I think. I want to ask about the snot mother. She sounds like someone from the ghost story you mentioned. I think I made her up. The adults disappeared, the children transformed, she was real, but the question is, why was she real?
I think the temple slide had unique qualities, and speaking of the slides, there's something that concerns me. There's a discrepancy with the number. You said there were eight. You found one, and there remains of six more.
I don't know what else to tell you. One of them contained Polaris, who I'm calling a Hedron, based on the drawings you made. I'm fine. Good, good. It's very important that we build you. You understand, don't you?
So nothing, nothing remains. Are you feeling alright, Zachariah? Of course. Don't let me distract you. We're all counting on you, Dylan.
Is he okay? Of course, but just the same. You need to be ready, Dylan. You should take up the director's mantle. Maybe sooner than we thought.
Hmm. Something was wrong with Trench even before anyone heard of the hit. Trench was the one. He brought it into the oldest house. It was already growing inside him, but nobody knew that yet.
I was supposed to leave the FBC when Trench failed. I was supposed to stop the hit. I can't remember what happened. Neil's commonest game called him Nosebleed Neil.
They always picked on him. It's like they picked on me. It would be worse if they didn't have gesture right to protect him every time, not like I did. Neil didn't become a monster like the other kids. Something else happened to him in the Meadowside. But he was still Neil, deep down.
Oh, the dog.
Oh, Neil and Bogus are the dog person? Oh, my God, dude. Oh, dude.
Oh, my goodness. That's the best. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm-mm.
Dylan, come on. What happened? What do you mean? You fell. The Dunlopies almost got you. Then Neil and Bogus. Dylan, Neil is... It was like they were, I think, Bogus, too. The point is, they'll save you.
You scattered the Dunlopies. But what? No time. You still need to get to the side of the pond. .
