Daniel's Dread Tales is a show 
for grown-ups.

00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,280
It may contain adult language 
and adult themes. 

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,520
Please check the episode 
description for content 

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,640
warnings. 
Last time on Eternal lies. 

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,720
What's more, fleeing a scene of 
unspeakable chaos and bloodshed,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,920
our investigators find 
themselves in Merida on the 

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,040
Yucatan Peninsula, hoping to 
work their way up to a weapon 

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,800
capable of harming the gods 
themselves. 

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Kearns starts off by acquiring a
Tommy gun, while the rest do 

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,560
some light research on the area.
While some possibility remains 

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,040
that this is as much of A wild 
goose chase as Brooks Male 

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,480
suggested, the investigators 
soon find themselves on the 

13
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,560
receiving end of an invitation 
to meet a Mr. Francisco de la 

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Vega, land magnate and potential
lead. 

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,240
The die is cast. 
The pact is sealed. 

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,440
May God have mercy on our souls.
It's Daniel's Tread tales. 

17
00:01:04,769 --> 00:01:08,010
No. 
Can no. 

18
00:01:08,170 --> 00:01:11,290
You're thinking of Cancun. 
Cancun is the dance with the 

19
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:13,130
skirts. 
They. 

20
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:19,130
They skied off off dive off the 
CN Tower. 

21
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:23,130
It's pretty funny anyway that 
they run an extension cord from 

22
00:01:23,130 --> 00:01:27,290
it to the ground. 
So yeah, should we smash putt to

23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,560
the three of us getting back to 
the hotel? 

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,360
I I was just thinking it's a 
natural starting point. 

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Yeah, yeah. 
Because then it brings us all 

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,920
back together. 
And we can talk about our, our, 

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,600
our fun times. 
Yeah. 

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,320
And and Kearns is very, very bad
time. 

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,840
Well, you also have a sticky 
book now too. 

30
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,280
Yeah. 
Yeah, that's also a bad time. 

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,320
What? 
Sticky book. 

32
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,040
Bad time. 
But what bad time? 

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,960
No it it's all good. 
I'm fine. 

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,840
Totally fine. 
Just like lighting 1 smoke off 

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,600
of another. 
Oh God, ashtray is full. 

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,200
I've had those days. 
It's all good. 

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,640
It's all good. 
Probably nothing. 

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,160
Hey Frank, check out my wet 
book. 

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,920
No, don't look at the wet book. 
It's fucked up. 

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,160
What? 
I'm just showing it, you don't 

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680
have to read it. 
OK, where'd you get that? 

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,200
A creepy old man traded me a 
radio for it. 

43
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800
You had a radio. 
Yeah, I used it to listen to 

44
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Dick Tracy, right? 
And also the news on occasion. 

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,800
Right, I remember that. 
Cool. 

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,680
And we've been invited to a 
dinner party. 

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Have we? 
Yeah, yes. 

48
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,800
I don't know if it's a dinner 
party so much as it's a dinner. 

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Yeah, I mean, anywhere the four 
of us go is a party by the sheer

50
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,680
nature of the fact that there's 
four of us. 

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,520
Hey GB, can I can I talk to you 
for a minute? 

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Yeah, sure. 
What's up, man? 

53
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,200
In private. 
Yeah, Yeah, we can. 

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,320
We can take this to a different 
room. 

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,080
Yeah, Let's talk. 
What do you think they're 

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,440
talking about in there Smalls? 
I guess, I guess we won't know 

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,920
that's not where the the bike 
has gone, so we just have no 

58
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,000
idea what's going on in there. 
Don't you dare rob this a lot. 

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Rob us from. 
This So we've established that 

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,440
this is basically a cheap hotel.
Is there a cheap dive bar in 

61
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,080
this cheap hotel? 
Sure why there is whatever there

62
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,200
needs to be. 
Yeah, I think Smalls is going to

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,160
fade into having a drink at the 
bar after the revelations and 

64
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,000
what happened to him after 
skimming that. 

65
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Book and you know everything 
else, but specifically skimming 

66
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,120
the book. 
Yeah, that, well, that was kind 

67
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,600
of the tipping point, yeah. 
All right, I think you are 

68
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,000
served a drink. 
Anything else from that or just 

69
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320
you're going to be getting no, 
you're going to drink because 

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,640
you lost your pillar of sanity. 
He he, he's just kind of going 

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,120
out of scene for for a minute, 
OK, it's just out of focus. 

72
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,200
He's done. 
Doesn't have anything specific 

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,440
going on. 
Cool. 

74
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,800
OK, I guess it's just Colin now.
Oh, he's done. 

75
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Well, guess I'm just talking to 
myself over here. 

76
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,920
I'm not Russell. 
You want to do a scene with me 

77
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,720
specifically? 
I just don't have anything to do

78
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,400
so or anything that I 
specifically want to do. 

79
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,800
I think it's both of these 
things. 

80
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Colin is talking to you before 
realizing you're gone, but also 

81
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,640
Colin's. 
It want stability so it goes on 

82
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,000
a little longer than it should. 
How are you want stability 

83
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,760
already? 
That was so fast. 

84
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,920
We haven't even done anything 
dangerous yet. 

85
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Oh my God. 
Oh my God. 

86
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Yeah, that's what they would say
if they were here right now, 

87
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,440
but. 
We're not. 

88
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
But we're not. 
So this is Nathan the player 

89
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,080
being confused. 
OK. 

90
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,840
I I think the microphone will 
now move towards the small room 

91
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,880
where you guys are talking. 
Yeah, yeah. 

92
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Yeah, are you literally putting 
us in the closet? 

93
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Well, I mean, the rooms here are
not very nice. 

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,920
They're not much bigger than a 
closet, but. 

95
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,600
Yeah. 
Kearns has a broom stuck in his 

96
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:55,360
back the entire time. 
So I How are you doing? 

97
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:04,480
You know, any urges, any weird 
dreams, withdrawal symptoms, 

98
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,200
anything. 
Not yet. 

99
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,960
None since Mexico City. 
Yeah, I'm all right right now. 

100
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,920
You definitely still want to 
take some nectar. 

101
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,000
There's no nectar around here, 
so you can't. 

102
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,840
But this is not something that 
goes away. 

103
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,600
A nectar craving will never go 
away. 

104
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Keeping that to myself though, 
what about? 

105
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,440
What about? 
Is this honesty? 

106
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,240
OK, yeah, you see right the fuck
through me. 

107
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,880
But before you can ask follow up
questions, JB is like how about 

108
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,160
how about you man? 
You seem a little distracted. 

109
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,680
I look, I don't I don't know 
what happened today. 

110
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,440
I am no shrink. 
Could be my guilty conscience, 

111
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,440
could be the lack of sleep, 
could be, could be all those 

112
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,680
steroids that I have taken to 
get this incredibly buff. 

113
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:08,960
But I saw something today and 
this apparition was K. 

114
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,760
Oh my God. 
She, she was, she was there one 

115
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,120
moment and gone the next. 
And while she was here, she was,

116
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,640
she told me his gaze is upon him
now in Malta. 

117
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,520
She told me a little bit about 
this gazer thing. 

118
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:39,040
She explained the story, the 
fairy tale, and I think she was 

119
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560
talking about you. 
Now. 

120
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,920
You haven't taken any nectar 
since Mexico, no? 

121
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Correct. 
None. 

122
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,680
Let's try to keep it that way. 
Yeah, yeah. 

123
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,800
Thankfully it doesn't seem like 
it's spread to this area yet and

124
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,640
none of us have any on us 
anymore. 

125
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,840
So. 
And I'm I'm. 

126
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,520
I'm just sort of stuck with it 
because I don't know how to get 

127
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,640
rid of it properly. 
Yeah, that's fair enough. 

128
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Just. 
Throw it into the jungle, drop 

129
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,160
it out the plane anyway. 
No, I'm not going. 

130
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Into your mouth, JB. 
Yeah, eat it. 

131
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,440
Don't put it in your mouth. 
That's a bad plan for many 

132
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,840
reasons. 
Anyway, we were having a moment.

133
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,520
Yeah, let's. 
Yeah, but let's just keep it 

134
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,799
that way. 
Yeah. 

135
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,840
Again, I it's not that I don't 
trust you, but I've seen what 

136
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,760
that shit does. 
Yeah, yeah, I have every 

137
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,520
intention of never touching that
stuff again, if at all. 

138
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,080
Possible. 
No. 

139
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,720
Right, you've done. 
I suddenly become aware that we 

140
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,160
are in a very small closet. 
Again, it is. 

141
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,320
It's not really a closet, but 
yeah, yeah, no, we are. 

142
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,480
JB suddenly is like, is this a 
should I? 

143
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,720
No, probably not. 
This is not a good. 

144
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:26,400
Moment. 
OK, 10 minutes later, yeah. 10 

145
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,160
minutes later, we emerge from 
the closet. 

146
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,600
JVI adjusts his shirt a little 
and brushes his hair out of his 

147
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
eyes. 
Anyway, yeah, good talk, Kearns.

148
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,920
I'm gonna. 
Kearns's fly is fully down. 

149
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,320
OK, good talk. 
Let's let's convene with 

150
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,640
everyone and maybe go to a 
dinner party. 

151
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Cullen meets Smalls in the bar 
eventually. 

152
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,960
Like only half that conversation
was to the sound of Colin 

153
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Muffles talking to himself 
outside. 

154
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Jesus, first time with one of 
these weird books, eh? 

155
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,640
I had heard some stories from an
old acquaintance about things 

156
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:17,800
like this. 
It it was always something 

157
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,680
unreal. 
Well, I'm finding more and more 

158
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:25,080
with this case, the unreal stuff
is the stuff that'll hurt you 

159
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,840
the most. 
That is surprisingly profound. 

160
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,640
Yeah. 
I get that a lot. 

161
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:39,080
I meant for Colin. 
Francisco de la Vega's Manor is 

162
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:46,240
on the north side of town. 
It is a sizable mansion. 

163
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,960
It's a neoclassical architecture
and as you arrive you are 

164
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,400
greeted by the owner of the 
house himself stepping forward. 

165
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Francisco de la Vega is a How 
would I describe him? 

166
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,080
Frank Lupitas from Lost. 
As I may have mentioned before, 

167
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,280
I've not watched Lost so I don't
know for sure, but he's like 

168
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,600
movie star level handsome. 
He's in a nice tailored suit. 

169
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,840
He wears a pink rose on the left
breast of his white silk shirt. 

170
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,960
He's got a very classical old 
fashioned sort of haircut and he

171
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,800
seems very relaxed. 
In fact, when you see him, even 

172
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,000
though he's standing outside and
walking to greet you, he has a 

173
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,240
Brandy snifter in his right hand
that he's swirling gently. 

174
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,680
Jesus Christ. 
You must be the ones that I've 

175
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:41,640
heard about. 
Come in, come in. 

176
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Well, probably, though I hope 
not. 

177
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Oh no, no, no, no, no. 
I too too be clear my friend, If

178
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,920
you don't mind me calling you my
friend. 

179
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,600
I am everyone's friend. 
I just understand that you were 

180
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,400
asking about archaeological 
matters and I am a bit of an 

181
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,760
expert in these sort of things 
and I want to make sure that you

182
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,760
are safe. 
But these are not the 

183
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,880
conversations for outside. 
Come in, come inside, come 

184
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,400
inside. 
Before we go in, can I use sense

185
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,080
trouble here? 
I was actually going to say 

186
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,160
assess honesty. 
Like how are his vibes? 

187
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,000
So sense trouble is a thing that
I call for. 

188
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,800
I will say like something is 
sneaking around you sense 

189
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,520
trouble. 
So you do not just use the sense

190
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,480
trouble thing, I'll just let you
know that. 

191
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,960
I yes I am aware of that, but 
like I am also very paranoid. 

192
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Yeah, I like, assess honesty. 
How are this man's vibes? 

193
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,520
He seems to be extremely 
friendly, and he seems to be. 

194
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,040
At least you detect no lies at 
the moment. 

195
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,880
He seems to be eager to talk to 
somebody who knows about 

196
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,440
archaeology. 
Oh boy, here we go. 

197
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520
I know a bit about archaeology. 
Yeah, I oh, OK. 

198
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,680
I I took it as part of my level 
up. 

199
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,040
He gives you a he gives you a 
grin, sort of lifts up his very 

200
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,680
well polished and slender 
mustache. 

201
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,080
Now I know that you are from the
States, but I assume you are not

202
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,520
opposed to a drink. 
Let's see, what do we have any 

203
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,840
gestures for one of his servants
to come up? 

204
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,240
We could get you your orders. 
We have several kinds of beers. 

205
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,240
We have tequila, anything, 
anything that you would like to 

206
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,040
drink, I suppose. 
We also have water. 

207
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,320
I know that you Americans may 
not want to be drinking, right? 

208
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,680
It's so legal up there, isn't 
it? 

209
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,280
That's what I've heard, just a 
water for me. 

210
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,200
Water as well. 
OK, that's fine. 

211
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,880
OK. 
What about you? 

212
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,480
He gives like a sort of playful 
punch on your arm. 

213
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,800
Kerns, you seem like you could 
put a few down, no? 

214
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,680
He's put a lot down recently. 
He has put more down than you 

215
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:58,880
can possibly fathom. 
I loom nothing for me. 

216
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,480
Thanks. 
Doesn't agree with my 

217
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,320
medication. 
Of course, as you are walking 

218
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,400
through, you see that there are 
what appear to be artifacts 

219
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,240
around. 
There's like a rusty helmet, a 

220
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,880
decorative sword, some stone 
fragments here and there. 

221
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,520
There seems to be that sort of 
thing. 

222
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:23,680
And as you're walking by them, 
he he takes a moment to walk a 

223
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,080
little slowly to see if you will
ask him about them. 

224
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,640
But it's not going to be 
offended if you don't ask about 

225
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,040
them, if that makes sense. 
With my archaeology knowledge, 

226
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,440
do these look authentic or do 
they look like replica? 

227
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,280
They look authentic, especially 
a couple of Mayan stone 

228
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,560
fragments. 
Those look like all of this 

229
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,680
looks authentic. 
That's like definitely styled in

230
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,480
the helmet and sword look like 
they are from Spanish 

231
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,680
conquistadors. 
Several of the Mayan stone 

232
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,040
fragments look like they are 
from actual Mayan sites 

233
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,400
throughout the Yucatan. 
So yeah, I'm going to focus a 

234
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,320
little bit more intently on one 
of the stone fragments and kind 

235
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,040
of make it obvious. 
Impressive, don't you think? 

236
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,680
It is. 
If you don't mind me asking, 

237
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,320
where did you happen upon this? 
Well, very interesting. 

238
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,040
You see, most of them are just 
laying on the ground these days.

239
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,400
I have quite a bit of land and I
send my people in there and they

240
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,640
find these things. 
They've fallen off the walls or 

241
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840
broken off the adornments from 
the harsh weather over the 

242
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,320
years, so I bring them in here, 
their will, to the Museum of 

243
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,840
Anthropology. 
But I keep them for now. 

244
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,040
They're definitely a boon to 
anyone's personal collection. 

245
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,120
I see you take quite good care 
of. 

246
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,600
Yes. 
It's great to see as a as 

247
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,200
somebody who appreciates some of
the ancient artifacts that can 

248
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,920
be found. 
From my understanding, these are

249
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,080
not ancient per SE. 
They are, I mean, they are not 

250
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400
modern. 
They are, they are very old, but

251
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,120
they were around when my 
ancestors, well my Spanish 

252
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,040
ancestors, first roamed this 
continent. 

253
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,520
This sword right here belonged 
to the conquistador Francisco de

254
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,360
la Bella Cazar, for whom I am 
named and related to. 

255
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,440
That is also a very nice piece 
and I bet carries a very storied

256
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,440
history. 
Well, my ancestor moved here 

257
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:36,560
from Cuba and befriended, one 
might say conquered, associated 

258
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,080
with the local Mayan people. 
Let's just say I am proud to 

259
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,080
have both Spanish and Mayan 
blood in my history. 

260
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Oh, this guy sucks. 
This guy sucks. 

261
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,920
No, he's, he's glad that he's 
proud of his heritage. 

262
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200
He's got his. 
He's got our effects for both of

263
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,240
his heritage. 
He leads you into the large 

264
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,200
dining room where grilled 
chicken and vegetable platters 

265
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,280
have been. 
Well, not platters, but plates 

266
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,359
have been set up for you 
already. 

267
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,280
It looks very well made. 
There are waters around 

268
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,319
actually. 
Did you all order? 

269
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,280
I think you all ordered JB. 
Did you order? 

270
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,560
Who didn't order? 
I feel like I got 3 orders. 

271
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,599
Smalls. 
Smalls didn't. 

272
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:21,720
I didn't. 
Yeah, I didn't get offered 

273
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,040
anything. 
Do you happen to have Brandy? 

274
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,640
It's not my particular favorite,
but we might have something in 

275
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,880
the the cellar. 
Lupe, let's see if you could 

276
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,440
find my friend. 
I'm sorry I didn't catch your 

277
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,120
name. 
We can discuss that in a moment.

278
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,040
Get my friend the the professor.
Are you a professor? 

279
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,160
You're very knowledgeable. 
Can find some Brandy for him if 

280
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,560
you would. 
Doctor Smalls. 

281
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,880
Doctor Smalls. 
Ah, nice to meet you. 

282
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,880
I I suppose. 
I know this is a very awkward 

283
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,640
sort of thing for me to invite 
you here without even really 

284
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,600
knowing your names, but as I 
mentioned, my name is Francisco 

285
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,280
de la Vega. 
I've met Doctor Smalls here. 

286
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,200
That's a doctor in what? 
Doctor in psychology, actually. 

287
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,320
Oh, the human mind is a 
fascinating thing, my friend. 

288
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,520
And you, Sir? 
He's gesturing towards. 

289
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,320
JBJB Falk. 
I'm a writer and Ioffer him to a

290
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,040
handshake. 
He gives you an enthusiastic 

291
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,000
handshake. 
A writer. 

292
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,000
Anything I would have read. 
You don't strike me as the 

293
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,960
murder mystery type, 
unfortunately. 

294
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Oh no, not really. 
That seems all too dreadful for 

295
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,360
me. 
Shame JB does not like this guy.

296
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040
JB does not like this guy at 
all. 

297
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,880
You'll have to tell me the name.
You'll have to tell me the name 

298
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,400
of your books, though. 
I'm always looking to read 

299
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320
something new. 
Is it in I suppose it's in 

300
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,480
English, right. 
I I can read that. 

301
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,560
Oh, yes. 
So thank you. 

302
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,320
Thank you very much. 
Take your seat. 

303
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,400
Take your seat. 
And you, Sir, with that, I'm 

304
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,040
sorry to say it the the one arm.
Trips Daily photographer. 

305
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Mr. Daly. 
Nice to meet you, Mr. Daly. 

306
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,640
I should have said my name was 
my was Greg Bojones. 

307
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,840
I, I, I, I'm sorry to, to bring 
up the arm. 

308
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,080
I just, I don't know if it's one
of those things that we should 

309
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,320
like be dancing around. 
I figure just be direct and say,

310
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,040
hey, I've noticed you don't have
an arm. 

311
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,480
That's fine. 
Do you need like any sort of 

312
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,760
like special silverware or 
anything with that? 

313
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,480
Oh, am I being patronizing? 
I hope I'm not. 

314
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,640
Nah, I should probably get a 
hook it sometime. 

315
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,320
OK, OK, excellent, excellent. 
Got a hook around a. 

316
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,960
Hook. 
We could find a hook of some 

317
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,320
sort. 
Do you need? 

318
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Does it? 
Do you have something that it 

319
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,680
attaches to? 
Nah, I can figure it out. 

320
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:50,640
Okay. 
Duct tape is not a thing yet, 

321
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,480
Russell. 
I decisively approve of you 

322
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,960
capital F fucking with this guy.
As Lupe comes back with the 

323
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,880
Brandy for Doctor Smalls, he 
says Lupe, a bit of an odd 

324
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,840
request. 
Could you get a hook for Mr. 

325
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,400
Daly here? 
A hook. 

326
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,320
They they chattel it. 
Yes, a hook. 

327
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Get him a hook. 
The man needs a hook. 

328
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,960
Sorry. 
Lupe's. 

329
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,160
Lupe's really the best. 
I'm sure she'll find something. 

330
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,160
All right, good luck. 
She does not look as confident 

331
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960
as he does. 
I believe in Lupe. 

332
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,720
OK, finally. 
And you Sir, what? 

333
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,720
What was your name? 
Is it Hercules? 

334
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Close. 
It's Steve. 

335
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,680
I'm not sure how that's close. 
Is that a? 

336
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,640
Is that a pun I don't get? 
It makes more sense in English. 

337
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,440
I speak no, maybe I don't speak 
English as well as I think I do.

338
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Yeah, Steve cut the Crappington.
Why are we here? 

339
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,720
Well, I appreciate your 
directness. 

340
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,760
I understand that. 
I heard you mention Chichin Juul

341
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,640
Juul, and I want to tell you two
things about it. 

342
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,520
One, it's just a few crumbled 
walls and an old well, I'm 

343
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,520
afraid there's very little 
reason for you to be visiting 

344
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,600
there. 
But two, it would be very 

345
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,800
dangerous for you to visit 
there, I think. 

346
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,480
Do you know that an expedition 
recently left to go visit that 

347
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,720
site and never returned? 
How recently I. 

348
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Think it was 2 weeks ago they 
arrived or well they left 

349
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,400
anyway. 
They came to me and asked me for

350
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,360
permission to travel on my 
lands. 

351
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,920
I think I assumed you would do 
eventually. 

352
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,400
Well, we just got into that, but
we're actually. 

353
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,880
Associating. 
Yes, I understand. 

354
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,840
Yes. 
You just came into town. 

355
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440
Yes. 
So I, I wanted to give you some 

356
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:01,160
advice that that land is not 
completely safe. 

357
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,400
It exists outside the bounds of 
our civilized society. 

358
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,800
You understand now I do own the 
land. 

359
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,920
I do my best to keep it safe. 
But once you get further and 

360
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:19,960
further out, there are bandits 
and they've been known to rob 

361
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,480
and I'm sorry to say, kill 
particularly white folks such as

362
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,880
yourself who visit the area. 
So that's the main thing I 

363
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,480
wanted to say. 
Now I know you may be set on 

364
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,800
visiting this place, in which 
case I understand, but I just 

365
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,560
wanted to caution you against 
it. 

366
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,720
Well, you see, that previous 
expedition is actually the one 

367
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,120
we were supposed to be with. 
We're hoping to catch up with 

368
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:48,280
them, but things took a little 
longer than it planned. 

369
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:50,880
Really. 
You were with the other 

370
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,840
expedition. 
Yep, I guess they figured they 

371
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,800
could get on without their 
photographer, psychologist and 

372
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,920
book writer. 
Crazy, I know. 

373
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Yes, well, I'm sorry to say that
they have disappeared into the 

374
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,480
jungle. 
I do hope that they come out, 

375
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,280
but I do not believe that they 
will. 

376
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,200
Well, as harrowing as you make 
it sound, we're sort of 

377
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,040
obligated to catch up with them.
I understand your friends may 

378
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,960
have already been killed by 
bandits, but I understand. 

379
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,600
I understand. 
When he says I don't believe 

380
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,560
they will, does it says honesty 
tell me anything? 

381
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440
In general, this guy is 
withholding some information 

382
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,760
from you. 
That's about all you're getting.

383
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520
OK, so let me see if I 
understand correctly. 

384
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,320
You're just a benevolent well 
wisher who invited us to their 

385
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,080
house just to caution US against
going into the jungle. 

386
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,640
Mostly yes. 
Well, Sir, this could have been 

387
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,280
a telegram. 
Why are we actually here? 

388
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,360
Mr. Kearns, I understand your 
skepticism at the moment. 

389
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,440
Mr. de la Vega, we definitely 
appreciate the warning that you 

390
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,920
are giving and as they are your 
lands, we will be seeking your 

391
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:15,160
approval to access. 
Is there anything more that you 

392
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,640
can tell us about the bandits in
this area? 

393
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,840
As it is your land you you may 
not be able to completely stop 

394
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:30,480
them, but I'm I'm sure you would
be able to assist us as you are 

395
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,200
concerned, at least nominally 
with our safety. 

396
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,040
My friend, I am concerned with 
everyone's safety, not just 

397
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,280
nominally. 
Now I will say this, the 

398
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,200
previous expedition, your 
friends with the Dominguez I 

399
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,600
believe was his name. 
They also refused my advice, 

400
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,240
although they did take my advice
when I recommended them a guide.

401
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,360
That guide is no longer around, 
but perhaps I could direct you 

402
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:02,840
to a proper guide to help you 
find the right way through the 

403
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,400
jungle. 
That is about all I could say, 

404
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,080
because there are things of the 
jungle that are dangerous 

405
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,440
besides armed men. 
The armed men are perhaps the 

406
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,600
most dangerous, but you know, 
there are wild animals, 

407
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,120
sinkholes, quicksand. 
Yes, I I do definitely 

408
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:25,240
understand that now we have 
actually been looking into some 

409
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,760
potential guides, however is 
there anywhere that you could 

410
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:36,240
suggest we could go to better 
outfit ourselves for the 

411
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,280
journey? 
Lupe is taking a while with that

412
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,800
hook. 
Yeah, Lupe has not found the 

413
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,600
fucking hook. 
I was all for a fucking with de 

414
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,760
la Vega, but now I feel bad that
we've tasked Lupe with this 

415
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,120
bullshit. 
Yeah, she's outside having a 

416
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,520
smoke break. 
She knows she's not going to 

417
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,640
find anything. 
I'm going to ask you guys this. 

418
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,680
So this conversation is going 
on. 

419
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,640
Are you trying to make him 
believe like truly, are you 

420
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,880
trying to make him believe that 
you are with the other 

421
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,560
expedition? 
Or are you just saying that 

422
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,440
knowing he's not going to 
believe you? 

423
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,520
Well, I think Colin is trying to
give that impression, but I'm 

424
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,160
not sure about the rest of us. 
OK. 

425
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,760
Giving the impression that which
impression that you? 

426
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,480
Actually were with the. 
That you were with the other 

427
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,360
group, OK. 
Yeah, Smalls is going along with

428
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:30,600
that. 
OK, I'm going to ask you to 

429
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,400
spend a number of points that 
you would like to spend to 

430
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,760
convince De la Vega, because 
right now, without spending any 

431
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,680
points, he's going to think you 
are lying to him because you are

432
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,880
lying to him. 
And he is a 100 cents on a 

433
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,680
state. 
Yeah. 

434
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,720
Oh, that's fair. 
So. 

435
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,960
Is there a threshold we need to 
meet or are we guessing a 

436
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,240
number? 
One point or two points your 

437
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,920
call about how many you would 
like to spend. 

438
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,200
I'll give two points of 
reassurance. 

439
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,800
I'm willing to spend a point as 
well if it can be split up 

440
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,160
between both of us. 
That way we only have to spend 1

441
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,000
each. 
All right. 

442
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,480
OK. 
So I'm just getting like the 

443
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,680
vibe of the conversation, 
whether it's believing you or 

444
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:14,080
not. 
I also would suggest that you 

445
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,920
get one of the local guides to 
assist you. 

446
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,000
I know you don't necessarily 
know the region that this is in,

447
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:28,840
unless did your previous 
expedition give you a map of 

448
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,160
sorts? 
Not so much start to get the 

449
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,480
feeling we were less valuable 
members of staff. 

450
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,800
There was some pranks involved. 
You know. 

451
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Yeah, that Dominguez. 
Quite the joker. 

452
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,920
Yes, he did seem to imply that 
he his but compatriots within 

453
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,560
his organization were 
disorganized. 

454
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,640
It's OK, you can say 
incompetent, we've heard it 

455
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,320
before. 
Hell, we've said it before. 

456
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,320
Yeah, so I suppose you would 
have poor things to say about 

457
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,080
this, Mr. Brooks. 
You wouldn't we all start 

458
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,400
laughing. 
Color stops himself and just 

459
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,200
nods stoically. 
I mean, I'm I don't laugh. 

460
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,520
I I only laugh when I'm losing 
my shit. 

461
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,000
So at. 
The very least JB is definitely 

462
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,560
laughing. 
Francisco sort of joints in the 

463
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,160
laughter as everybody is 
laughing. 

464
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,200
What are we laughing about? 
I grin crookedly. 

465
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:27,080
I would recommend that you find 
Pablo Garza. 

466
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:33,000
He is the best guide now to help
you find what you're looking 

467
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,640
for. 
The best thing that I would say 

468
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,920
for you, though, you know, speak
to those guys that are around, 

469
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,080
but do avoid that Rick Luke 
fellow. 

470
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,320
He's an American who's come into
town recently. 

471
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,880
He has no idea what he's talking
about. 

472
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,600
Also, he has two first names. 
Doesn't seem right. 

473
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,400
Sounds like a villain for some 
reason. 

474
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,040
I don't know anything about 
that. 

475
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,600
He's eager, he's a capable 
enough fellow, but he doesn't 

476
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,120
know the jungles very well. 
That's honesty. 

477
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,320
He does not think Rick Luke is 
competent. 

478
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,480
Fair enough. 
But the description I don't 

479
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,120
either. 
Yeah. 

480
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,840
OK. 
Just new in town. 

481
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,880
You don't want that from a 
guide, right? 

482
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,040
Yeah. 
Exactly. 

483
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,640
After that sort of chat, unless 
there's anything else that we 

484
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280
want to talk about the 
expedition, he does sort of turn

485
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,280
the conversation back to just 
sort of archaeology, small talk,

486
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,240
things like that. 
We were on an archaeological dig

487
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,280
in What was it, Ethiopia a while
back. 

488
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,960
Found some interesting things. 
You know, I don't really know a 

489
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,800
lot about archaeology outside of
Mesoamerica, particularly the 

490
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,040
Mayans, though I've learned a 
thing or two about the Aztecs as

491
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,920
well, a little further up in 
Mexico. 

492
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,880
What did you find in Ethiopia? 
From what I understand, the 

493
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,240
Italians have been finding 
interesting things there 

494
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,120
recently. 
Oh geez. 

495
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,720
Wow. 
Well, ancient cultures. 

496
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Fragments of things better off 
lost, truly. 

497
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,960
There are many such things in 
this world. 

498
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,440
But do tell me, have you, have 
you been to Ethiopia? 

499
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,960
Have you had some some 
adventures in the desert? 

500
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,320
Tell me all about it. 
I do so in extremely broad 

501
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,320
strokes. 
Do you mention like for instance

502
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,440
fighting the bandits on the 
train? 

503
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,920
Yes, big time. 
OK. 

504
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,440
I think I show him the bullet 
hole. 

505
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,000
Yeah, when he's that is truly 
dreadful. 

506
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,160
I'm so glad that you're OK. 
Is that is that what happened to

507
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,320
your arm? 
Oh no, that was a different 

508
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:35,840
thing. 
That was. 

509
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,400
A. 
It was in Ethiopia though. 

510
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,600
To be perfectly frank, I don't 
know if I need to hear that part

511
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,120
of the story. 
Well, suffice it to say, it went

512
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,680
bad. 
On yeah, sounds like. 

513
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:53,000
It I mean point of order, I 
think it went as good as it 

514
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,680
could have. 
But the arm went bad in the most

515
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,920
literal way. 
Part of me wants to describe the

516
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,880
act of cutting off his arm in 
his graphic detail as possible 

517
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,280
just to fuck with Vega, but I 
don't think I'm going to do that

518
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,920
but know that I'm seriously 
considering it. 

519
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,720
Okay. 
I think maybe I spot your your 

520
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,880
trademark I'm about to fuck with
you face and I'm mouth don't. 

521
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,920
Yeah, hey everyone, we here at 
Daniel's Dread Tails have a 

522
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,560
Patreon now. 
It's got multiple tiers and 

523
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,760
everything. 
Even our lowest tier, Resident 

524
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,080
of the Forbidden Zone, get you 
access to GM notes and 

525
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,240
unreleased content. 
It's good stuff. 

526
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,560
The next one up, Resident of New
Hell Mouth adds shout outs on 

527
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,120
the show, the ability to name 
characters, raw mixes of the new

528
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,240
episodes and our behind the 
scenes Discord channel. 

529
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,160
And finally, the highest tier 
Angry Clockwork Wife lets you 

530
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,840
join in on our monthly streams 
and be introduced as an Angry 

531
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,240
Clockwork Wife if that's what 
you're into. 

532
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,840
So please, if any of that sounds
appealing to you, then join up. 

533
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,480
We'd love to have you and your 
money too much. 

534
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,000
Fair enough. 
All the same, do consider. 

535
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,960
Thanks for listening and back to
the show. 

536
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,960
Hey there listeners, did you 
turn in for a 24 hour lecture 

537
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,280
live stream last year? 
If not, here's just a few of the

538
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,120
things you may have missed. 
Speculate this event was a 

539
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,840
shared hallucination brought on 
by sleep deprivation. 

540
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,600
So if you'd like to see more of 
that and also help some kids out

541
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,680
at the same time, TuneIn 
starting April 17th. 

542
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,360
Watch the discord and or the 
show notes for more details. 

543
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:39,760
Lupe has brought a hook. 
It clearly is something maybe 

544
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,640
meant more for gardening or 
actually no used to like hang up

545
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,200
a plant from like a wall or 
something but. 

546
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,840
Is it a fucking coat hanger? 
It is not a coat hanger. 

547
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,600
It's like a plant hook. 
It's like a like a metal fig 

548
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,760
used to hang up a plant on a 
that's that's or something. 

549
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,600
That's just as funny, though. 
Yeah, it's also not what you 

550
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,520
want at all. 
Well, I don't think you really 

551
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,640
wanted a hook at all. 
Right now I've got nothing, so 

552
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,920
it's probably better. 
Yes, arguable. 

553
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,360
Thank you very much, Lupe. 
Isn't she the best great girl? 

554
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,760
Oh fantastic. 
However much he's paying Lupe, 

555
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,880
it's not enough. 
Is she keeping a straight face? 

556
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,560
Yeah, she's, you know, it's part
of the job, man. 

557
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,800
It seems like he has weirdos in 
all the time and sometimes asks 

558
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,320
for odd things. 
Yeah, the reason this took so 

559
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,800
long is because they gave out 
the good. 

560
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,720
I will note while he is drinking
a little bit, he is not like 

561
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,880
getting sloshed or anything. 
He's just, you know, he's got 

562
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,800
maybe a little bit of a buzz, 
but he does, he is not drinking 

563
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,840
to excess or anything like that.
I get. 

564
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:56,000
You well, I suppose that's that 
you do have my permission that 

565
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,760
I, I grant it to you, he says. 
He sort of raises his arms and 

566
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,480
like waves them around in like 
some sort of mock ceremony as he

567
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,840
says this. 
And it just been a pleasure 

568
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,000
meeting you, fascinating stories
about Ethiopia. 

569
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,920
When you get back from your 
trip, which again, I do caution 

570
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,440
you, there's really no reason to
do it. 

571
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,239
But if you insist on going on 
this trip, you'll have to come 

572
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,199
back and tell me what you've 
seen out there. 

573
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:25,080
Oh, absolutely. 
Although I hope you find 

574
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,400
something interesting again, 
it's not a lot, just some 

575
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,400
crumbled walls and cenote. 
Well, maybe Timmy's done that 

576
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,199
well. 
I don't know if that reference 

577
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,679
makes sense yet. 
I don't get what you're saying 

578
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,080
but OK. 
American humor. 

579
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,199
Don't worry about it. 
Well I will say this, I hope no 

580
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,639
one comes looking for your 
expedition in the future. 

581
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,280
As do I. 
Goodbye everybody, continues 

582
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,760
standing around awkwardly. 
So can we leave? 

583
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,720
Oh yeah, yeah. 
Yeah, yeah, of course this 

584
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,800
conversation is happening like 
as you're walking. 

585
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,520
Out. 
Yeah, Time to time to Skidoo. 

586
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,640
Does not knock over your 
artifacts in the hall on the way

587
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:08,280
out. 
Yeah. 

588
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,240
Yeah, I think when I realized 
that there's going to be no 

589
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:16,840
goons jumping out at us and 
we're we can actually leave, I'm

590
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,600
just going to awkwardly point at
the shelf full of curious and 

591
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,640
say cool sword. 
Yes, it is rather cool. 

592
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:35,600
This guy seems like he is a 
generous, maybe a little naive, 

593
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,120
plutocrat. 
Yeah, I've I'm out of things to 

594
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,640
say to this guy. 
Let's let's Yeah, I think we 

595
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,280
just. 
You know, the guy trying to live

596
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,040
his best life regardless of 
anybody else. 

597
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,480
OK, let's go find this Garza 
fella. 

598
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,920
Yeah, so I'm going to tell you 
this. 

599
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,000
There are three possible guides 
that you could hire to take you 

600
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,240
through the jungle. 
One is Pablo Garza, another one 

601
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:10,800
is Guillermo Castillo and the 
third one is Rick Luke. 

602
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,640
Yeah, I don't think we should go
to Rick Luke for this. 

603
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,280
Well, maybe we should talk to 
him. 

604
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,800
This is me personally. 
I also don't trust someone who 

605
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,680
has more than one first name in 
their name. 

606
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,640
Yes, JB's name is John Beatrice 
Falk. 

607
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:32,160
Don't worry about it. 
The secret revealed at last. 

608
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,320
His last name is Luke. 
He just says 2 first names. 

609
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:37,800
Just one of them is his last 
name. 

610
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,160
Yeah, and, and JB's middle name 
is also a first name. 

611
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,880
But you know, also, I swear I've
said my full name on this show 

612
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,840
at least once. 
Not, not that I recall, no. 

613
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,240
I sort of just want to check out
Rick Luke, just because this 

614
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,560
Francisco guy told us not to. 
Yeah, I want to check him out 

615
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,360
just to see how bad he is. 
Yeah, both valid. 

616
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,880
I kind of wanted to check out 
Guillermo because he's the one 

617
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:10,680
that we know of that de la Vega 
did not suggest and like de la 

618
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,000
Vega was hiding something. 
We just don't know what. 

619
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:15,720
Well, I kind of suspect that 
this ruin is more than a couple 

620
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:17,920
walls in a cenote. 
Well, yeah, there's that. 

621
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,880
I would hope it is or this whole
thing is going to be out of a 

622
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,160
waste of time. 
Yeah, who do we want to talk to?

623
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,320
Yeah, I think it's time for some
job interviews. 

624
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,800
I think the majority wants to 
talk to Nick Luke. 

625
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,000
OK, Rick. 
Luke, Huh? 

626
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,800
OK. 
Why do you say it like this? 

627
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,080
I just said it like that because
I'm pulling up my notes. 

628
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,840
That makes sense. 
That makes sense. 

629
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,240
And I'm trying to just say his 
name normally instead of saying 

630
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:47,280
uh, so that's what I'm doing 
that. 

631
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,960
Yeah, good luck. 
Oh I know it's bad, but Rick 

632
00:37:54,040 --> 00:38:02,040
Luke is an American explorer. 
God, I just did it immediately. 

633
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,600
Rick, Luke is an American 
explorer. 

634
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,840
Do you go to him? 
Do you give him a call and 

635
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,800
invite him to a place of your 
choosing? 

636
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,520
Are you gonna, like, set up an 
interview table in your hotel 

637
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,080
room? 
What's the plan? 

638
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,920
In our hotel room? 
Absolutely not. 

639
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,200
We definitely set up the 
interview table though. 

640
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,840
Yes, like a a cafe. 
Not a great cafe, but better 

641
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,400
than our awful hotel. 
Yeah, we we don't want them to 

642
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,360
know where we sleep. 
There's that as well. 

643
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:50,760
Rick Luke is a American. 
He appears to be around 30 years

644
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,720
old. 
He's wearing tight pants with a 

645
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:56,800
loose cream colored shirt. 
He's got a well maintained 

646
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,560
goatee and he's wearing a pistol
in a holster that he has over 

647
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,680
his shoulder. 
He is very excited to meet you. 

648
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,960
He offers a handshake to all of 
you. 

649
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,400
All right. 
Kerns, follow me, OK? 

650
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,360
We both reached to shake his 
hand at the same time. 

651
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,520
He reaches and shakes both 
hands. 

652
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,640
He sort of crosses his hands to 
do it too. 

653
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,800
Shit I wasn't expecting. 
Honestly, I respect the hostage.

654
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:25,920
Freaking out Kerns, what do I 
do? 

655
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,360
Yeah, I respect it. 
Yeah, he's quick. 

656
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,400
Hey. 
Open carry though. 

657
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,560
My name's Rick. 
Rick Luke, and I heard you were 

658
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,480
getting ready to go into the 
jungle. 

659
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,520
Is that right? 
Where'd you hear that from? 

660
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,280
Well, that's why you called me 
here, so I suppose I've kind of 

661
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,000
wasted your time by saying you 
want to go into the jungle, but 

662
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,520
yes. 
I like this guy. 

663
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:56,680
I am. 
I am your man, he says with a 

664
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,280
shiny smile. 
Wow. 

665
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560
Now this smile is so shiny. 
Yeah, look at those teeth. 

666
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,560
Now here's the thing. 
There may be other guides around

667
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,800
here, but I'm more than a guide.
I am a fellow archaeologist. 

668
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:20,440
I am a comrade in science and 
expeditioning. 

669
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,520
These are the folks you're going
to find. 

670
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,400
OK, what do you know about the 
jungle? 

671
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,400
I'm sorry. 
What do you know about the 

672
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,560
jungle? 
What do I know about the jungle?

673
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,160
I know plenty about the jungle. 
I've been through every goddamn 

674
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,040
jungle on the planet, while I 
may not have been. 

675
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:43,480
All right, name 2. 
I've been through the Amazon and

676
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,160
I've been through most of the 
Yucatan jungle here. 

677
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,360
I went actually less northward 
to where you would be heading. 

678
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,440
I headed more east. 
I have seen all sorts of things 

679
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,320
in the ruins here and I'm 
looking to check a few more off 

680
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,800
the books. 
You know what I mean. 

681
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:03,640
There is no real detailed 
information about Chichen Ijul. 

682
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,240
There's only one book written by
a Doctor Cartwright in 1846. 

683
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,640
Now I'm looking for a new 
challenge and I'm going to write

684
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,000
the definitive book on the 
subject. 

685
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,880
Seems like it'll be good fun. 
Now, this book that you found 

686
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,920
by. 
Yeah, Mr. Cartwright, did you 

687
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,040
find that in the local library? 
Because we have a suspicion that

688
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,160
the selection here isn't all 
that great. 

689
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,400
Yeah, I did notice that there's 
very little information. 

690
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,480
Yeah. 
What can you expect? 

691
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,400
This guy did is doing the same 
thing as us. 

692
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,440
He didn't research this place 
before he came here. 

693
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,720
No, that's why I came here. 
I researched this place 

694
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:41,120
beforehand. 
Oh, OK. 

695
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,040
I know a lot about the the, I 
can tell you quite a bit about 

696
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,120
it. 
I've done a lot of research 

697
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,840
beforehand. 
The sort of thing you should 

698
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,480
have done. 
I didn't actually say that, but 

699
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:51,920
I I. 
Sounded like it through. 

700
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,520
A God named Daniel was saying 
that through. 

701
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,720
Dan's saying that. 
Dan's saying that one to us. 

702
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,480
Dan's so good at playing an 
American. 

703
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,920
There's not just the book 
written by Doctor Cartwright 

704
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:13,240
now, there is also an account 
from a conquistador named 

705
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:17,520
Francisco de Balacazar, who 
vanished with a dozen soldiers 

706
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,360
and explorers in the area in 
1518. 

707
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,600
Must have turned back up at some
point though, I'm thinking. 

708
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,040
Right, Right. 
Isn't that descendants work? 

709
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,400
I mean, maybe he. 
Yeah, that's what that's what I 

710
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,600
was gonna say, yeah. 
Maybe. 

711
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,840
Yeah, there's a cryptic message 
that one of the guides says in 

712
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,840
the diary that was found, it 
says I am no jewel. 

713
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,400
I will not go to their place. 
Promising gentlemen, do you have

714
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,320
any questions for Mr. Luke here?
I'm is he on cocaine or 

715
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,840
something? 
No, he's not on any sort of 

716
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:59,600
substances. 
You may or may not have noticed 

717
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,200
that I've been a bit twitchy 
lately. 

718
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,200
I'm sorry, is, is this a 
confession that that Kearns is 

719
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,160
on cocaine or that Renee is on 
cocaine? 

720
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,880
No, Kearns has just not taken 
any morphine since. 

721
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:18,200
He's OK. 
Oh yeah, that'd do it. 

722
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:20,080
Yeah, yeah. 
Yeah. 

723
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,200
Yep. 
That was earlier today though 

724
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,120
those. 
Withdrawal symptoms, That's not 

725
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,840
the full. 
Extent of the question problem. 

726
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,640
Wow, that's not great, man. 
Oh. 

727
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:40,200
So what sort of vibe is Nick 
Luke giving off here? 

728
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,120
Or sorry Rick Luke, what sort of
vibe is he giving off? 

729
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,080
Like does assess honesty give me
anything on him? 

730
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,600
Look, he's exaggerating 
occasionally, but he seems like 

731
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,880
an honest guy. 
He the exaggerations he's giving

732
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,200
you are not the kind of 
exaggerations you would get if 

733
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,960
you were like a true liar. 
It is a guy exaggerating a 

734
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,800
little bit to get hired. 
Yeah, that's. 

735
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,440
Does he seem like he's full of 
shit? 

736
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,320
No, he does not seem like he's 
full of shit. 

737
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,800
All right, all right. 
So yeah, Smalls is just kind of 

738
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,720
nodding along as he's talking. 
I don't know if I want to hire 

739
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:19,240
him necessarily, but I sort of 
want to let him tug along. 

740
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,520
I definitely think we should put
a pin in him. 

741
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,800
I kind of want to interview all 
of our options. 

742
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,400
OK, yeah, I should have seen 
that one coming. 

743
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:33,920
Well, of course, Mr. Luke, would
you be interested in joining us 

744
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,880
more on a scientific capacity 
rather than solely as a guide? 

745
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,720
I assumed that would be the 
case. 

746
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:44,880
I'm not going to lie, I would be
guiding you there, but I intend 

747
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,640
to take some pictures and write 
a book about it. 

748
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,400
Well, what I'm saying is that 
you'd be more focusing on 

749
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,360
scientific support rather than 
guiding us, and we'd leave that 

750
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,160
to somebody else. 
Well, I'll have you know that 

751
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,080
I'm trained in archaeology, the 
local languages. 

752
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,960
I've traveled through many a 
jungle, Mexico. 

753
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,360
She's my one true love, and I 
think I'm the best man for the 

754
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,400
job. 
But maybe, maybe we could work 

755
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,880
something like that. 
I don't know if I could really. 

756
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,000
I need a job. 
Yeah. 

757
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,880
I think what my companion is 
saying here is we're willing to 

758
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,800
have you come along and work 
with, but what we may need is 

759
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,200
somebody who is more acquainted 
with the specific geography of 

760
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,680
the era. 
I would say you could make a one

761
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,280
point bargain spend to convince 
him of this. 

762
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,720
Done. 
Well, I suppose I could make 

763
00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:47,000
quite a bit of money with the 
information that I find. 

764
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,200
Oh, you'll be paid, of course, 
but we're not going to have you 

765
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,840
tag along unpaid. 
Oh, well, yes, definitely, 

766
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:54,560
definitely. 
Then. 

767
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,440
Yes. 
He was thinking that he was 

768
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,640
going to come along without 
getting paid, and in fact, he 

769
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,600
was cozying up to that idea. 
But Oh no, definitely. 

770
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,160
I do appreciate the idea of 
being paid. 

771
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,120
Yes, definitely. 
I'm not worried about money. 

772
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,360
Can't take it with me when I 
die. 

773
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,440
Chicks watch. 
After that, I'm picturing Smalls

774
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,960
is sitting next to JB like on 
the other side from Kearns. 

775
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,160
Colin and I are kind of 
bookending. 

776
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Smalls is just going to kind of 
turn to JB and be like almost 

777
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,840
had him for free quietly so only
JB can hear he. 

778
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,720
He was going to be willing to 
pay for the privilege. 

779
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:38,520
Yeah, I. 
OK, well I will have you know 

780
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,960
that I could be your guide, but 
if I'm just hanging out with you

781
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:47,760
all and finding out the truth 
about these crazy ruins, I don't

782
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,120
have a problem with that one 
iota. 

783
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,360
All right. 
How's he looking, this Rick Luke

784
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,440
guy like? 
He looks exactly like Scoops we 

785
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,320
got the same actor. 
What do you mean? 

786
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,800
How's he looking? 
Like should he turn on us? 

787
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,280
How easy it is to. 
Good trains take him in a fight,

788
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,960
yeah. 
He's sizing him up. 

789
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:12,320
Sizing him up. 
Ocular pat down. 

790
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,120
God damn it, how would you size 
him up? 

791
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,440
I'm trying to figure out like 
because I have AI have a stat 

792
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,480
line for him. 
I'm just trying to figure out 

793
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,880
what I want to do to make you 
figure that out. 

794
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,920
You know what? 
Ask me what are his stats? 

795
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:29,000
Accounting. 
Unhelpful. 

796
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:35,160
Do not tell us his accounting. 
I think the most narrative one 

797
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,480
would almost be athletics 
because that would be the one 

798
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:38,360
that like. 
Yeah. 

799
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,480
That's like if you're sizing 
someone up, that would be the 

800
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,280
most apparent I think. 10 
Athletics. 

801
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,480
I have 10 athletics. 
Yeah. 

802
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,200
So he looks pretty strong. 
Yeah, I'll give you one more 

803
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,960
skill question. 
Firearms. 5. 

804
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,720
OK. 
I was going to ask ask Health, 

805
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:57,480
but. 
If we're worried about him 

806
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,720
turning on us, the combat skills
make more sense. 

807
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,040
Yeah, that's fine. 
This guy, this guy doesn't seem 

808
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,520
like he's gonna turn on Dude. 
This guy seems nice. 

809
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,480
I don't. 
Know he's American. 

810
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,600
You know when you when. 
You're lying. 

811
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,520
You always get pitchy. 
No, no, I just get pitchy 

812
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,280
whenever I'm saying something 
that is. 

813
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,840
Obviously if it was a lie, it 
would be funny if it was a. 

814
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,200
Lie. 
Yeah, to be fair, we do usually 

815
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,160
have one person per arc that 
actually helps us. 

816
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,200
Could be this guy. 
Yeah, maybe you're going to have

817
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:31,600
multiple people help you. 
You have multiple people help 

818
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,840
you in Mexico City. 
Maybe the people in Mexico are 

819
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,160
just kind of a nicer group. 
Yeah. 

820
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,000
That this reminds me, Mr. Luke, 
are you part of any ancient 

821
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,480
organizations? 
We've run into it a lot in our 

822
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,920
efforts. 
Ancient organizations mean like 

823
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,560
like a Freemason. 
Yeah, Freemasons, Templar, just 

824
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,160
sort of nomadic tribe. 
Illuminati. 

825
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,400
Can't say anything like that, 
no. 

826
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,640
Well, of course you couldn't 
wake. 

827
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:08,840
OK oh this this this arc is 
hilarious so far. 

828
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,280
Well, I will tell you you've 
talked to the silliest candidate

829
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,920
first, yeah. 
This is true. 

830
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,200
OK, let's talk to the. 
Other guy, thank you for your 

831
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:19,160
time. 
There's two other guys. 

832
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,120
We'll be in touch. 
All right, bring in the next 

833
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:27,200
candidates. 
They're all sitting outside, you

834
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,120
know they're in suits with their
resumes perfect. 

835
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,520
Twiddling their thumbs, nervous.
How about the one whom de la 

836
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,200
Vega recommended? 
OK, Pablo Garza only speaks 

837
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,680
Spanish and Mayan, so some of 
you were gonna have. 

838
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,600
All right. 
I am out of this conversation. 

839
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,840
Good night everybody. 
As am I. 

840
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:51,640
Hello. 
Yeah. 

841
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,760
Mr. Garza, you come highly 
recommended. 

842
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:59,000
Can you tell us about yourself? 
He smiles and shrugs a little 

843
00:49:59,000 --> 00:49:59,800
bit all. 
Right. 

844
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,360
I'm going to mark that down as a
no. 

845
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:08,040
No, I I have been doing this for
a very long time. 

846
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,760
For the record, I didn't really 
describe him. 

847
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,240
He's a man in his mid maybe late
30s so it's a little hard to 

848
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:18,880
tell unless you just want to 
straight up ask him his age. 

849
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:26,200
He has sharp cheekbones, he's 
wearing comfortable clothes, he 

850
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,240
has short black cropped hair, 
and as you notice, he's a 

851
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:32,240
missing a little bit of his left
little finger. 

852
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,680
Competition. 
He is fingering a golden 

853
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,440
crucifix that he wears while 
talking to you. 

854
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:44,800
So how long is long time? 
Since I was a kid, I more or 

855
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,760
less grew up in these jungles. 
It was a way to make money. 

856
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,920
I was a Porter when I was 
growing up and now I hire the 

857
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,880
porters and lead people in 
there. 

858
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,680
We've heard talk of bandits in 
the area, do you know anything 

859
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,800
about them? 
There are bandits in the area, 

860
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:03,640
yes. 
Now if you are careful they can 

861
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:09,080
be avoided and if you move with 
enough confidence and enough 

862
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,160
weaponry they could be 
intimidated to back off. 

863
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,720
Most of the time. 
I will say I have been robbed 

864
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:20,560
once or twice by bandits. 
That is a risk of the job. 

865
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,520
But if you give them what they 
want, they usually won't kill 

866
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,560
you. 
At least they haven't killed me 

867
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:31,160
usually. 
Well, I hesitate to say this, 

868
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:36,400
but people that look like you 
are not the favorite of some of 

869
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,080
the bandits. 
Not a fan of amputees. 

870
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,400
Oh no, wait, white folk, I get 
it. 

871
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,240
Sorry. 
Yes. 

872
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,360
Is that what happened to the 
other expedition? 

873
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:49,400
That may be the case. 
S S Honesty. 

874
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,320
He seems to be telling the 
truth. 

875
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:52,960
He doesn't seem to know about 
that. 

876
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,520
He seems nervous. 
Not nervous, like there's some 

877
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,600
sort of like great secret or 
whatever, but he says the jungle

878
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:07,480
can be dangerous. 
They say that Chichen Jjul is 

879
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,080
haunted, if you believe that 
sort of thing by ghosts. 

880
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,760
There's plenty of things in the 
jungle that I can't explain. 

881
00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:17,360
No, no. 
But see ghosts, They're 

882
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,480
incorporeal. 
They're not something to be too 

883
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,280
worried about. 
If it's haunted by something 

884
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,760
living, that's when it gets 
scary. 

885
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,480
Well, like I said, I know the 
jungle very well. 

886
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,200
I still can't explain everything
that I've seen there, but I 

887
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:32,720
could get you to where you need 
to be. 

888
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,720
I like this guy. 
I don't say it. 

889
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,240
I like this guy. 
What's got you so nervous? 

890
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:45,760
Is it just going into the jungle
or something darker? 

891
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,120
The last expedition that went 
did not come back. 

892
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:50,520
Oh yeah, I guess that makes 
sense. 

893
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,440
Neither did their guide. 
Yes, looking at this, he's maybe

894
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,120
trying to decide whether if he 
even wants to come along with 

895
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,760
you. 
I have lots of experience in the

896
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,200
jungle. 
I know some of the best men for 

897
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,880
the job. 
I can hire porters for a 

898
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,200
competitive rate, and this is a 
short expedition. 

899
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:19,520
And I assume you won't be 
spending too much time in this 

900
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,320
city now. 
I'm sorry, are you trying to 

901
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,640
find Chichen Azul or are you 
trying to find Dominguez's 

902
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,480
people? 
Well, with any luck, they'll be 

903
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,880
the same spot, right? 
Well, yes, but what is your 

904
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,840
ultimate goal? 
I suppose to find Chichen Azul. 

905
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,880
Well I will hire probably 4 
porters travelling with us would

906
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,760
be the right amount. 
That should be able to be enough

907
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,560
for about a week's worth of 
supplies. 

908
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,840
And do you know anything about 
the previous expedition, what 

909
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,760
they thought was sufficient? 
I don't. 

910
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,400
I wasn't part of their logistics
team. 

911
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,520
Sure, but word gets around 
right? 

912
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,280
I don't know how many they 
brought. 

913
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,640
I there were many more of them, 
so they would have they brought 

914
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,280
many more porters. 
All right, fair enough. 

915
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,760
So conceivable somebody could 
still be out there. 

916
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:12,120
I hope so. 
If they're being held for 

917
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,360
ransom, they may all still be 
alive now. 

918
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,680
No ransom note has been 
delivered, but perhaps you will 

919
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,600
be the ones to pay the rents. 
Yeah. 

920
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,400
Sure. 
OK, what about the last guy? 

921
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,320
Well, we could talk to Smalls 
and the other guy. 

922
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:30,280
What? 
The fuck? 

923
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,440
This has happened before. 
Sometimes rain goes slow. 

924
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,760
As far as Smalls is concerned, 
he would just kind of can think 

925
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:52,480
about it for a minute and say we
should probably plan for 10 days

926
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,520
rather than just a week just to 
be on the safe. 

927
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,800
Certainly. 
JB Any. 

928
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,040
Thoughts. 
No, I think that's fair. 

929
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,520
I think that's completely fair, 
yeah. 

930
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,200
Better to be over prepared than 
under. 

931
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,400
Prepared. 
Yeah, exactly. 

932
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,560
Yeah, we're gonna need a fuck 
ton of bug spread. 

933
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,320
Bringing too many supplies into 
the jungle can weigh you down, 

934
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,600
but. 
Oh, are we doing encumbrance 

935
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,120
rules? 
Not explicitly, but you know, 

936
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,160
for your like, narrative stuff, 
it's just a little awkward to 

937
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,200
move through the jungle. 
Or slower and easier for bandits

938
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,640
to catch us. 
That too. 

939
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,800
I mean, I'm probably the most 
scariest human thing that can be

940
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,960
encountered in the jungle. 
Well, unless you had an extra 

941
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,400
mouth. 
I said human. 

942
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:40,240
Colin looks offended. 
OK, what about that other guy? 

943
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,960
All right. 
Guillermo Castillo comes into 

944
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,080
the interview room that I guess 
you guys have set up. 

945
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,000
We we set this up in a cafe. 
We are definitely tipping our 

946
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,400
weight person for this shit. 
Yeah, everybody gets a free 

947
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,840
lunch as well. 
He's a man in his 40s, early 40s

948
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,000
probably. 
He's wearing a khaki vest with 

949
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,560
an accumulation of stains on it.
He's got a angle of brown black 

950
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:13,480
hair, a large nose, and a deep 
scar on his right arm. 

951
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:18,560
He frowns constantly and will 
often arch one eyebrow as he 

952
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:19,240
speaks to you. 
Does. 

953
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,720
He's speaking. 
Hello. 

954
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:26,160
He does speak English, yes. 
My name is Guillermo Castillo. 

955
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,320
If you're looking for a guide, 
I'm the best one. 

956
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:36,360
That's not what we've heard. 
That's terrible way to. 

957
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,560
Interview to start. 
Terrible way to start and 

958
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,040
interview Jesus Christ, Oh my 
God. 

959
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,200
Well, I saw that you were 
talking to that Rick Luke 

960
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,840
fellow, but that guy is some 
offense. 

961
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,280
An idiot. 
We are not looking at him as a 

962
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,080
guide at this point. 
We have made other arrangements.

963
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,160
With yeah, more like a pet 
monkey. 

964
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:07,160
And Pablo, he's a well meeting 
guy, but ultimately he's a 

965
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,680
coward and he doesn't have my 
years of experience. 

966
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,720
He does seem a little flighty. 
Does this guy seem fighty or 

967
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:16,200
flighty? 
I know exactly where you need to

968
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,640
go. 
I can get you there safely and 

969
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,920
quickly, and that's that. 
He seems confident. 

970
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:27,200
Well, Pablo said confidence was 
good in the face of the bandits,

971
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,480
so. 
Have you ever been robbed by 

972
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,120
bandits? 
The juggle is a dangerous place.

973
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,120
You see this scar? 
He says, pointed to his scar. 

974
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,520
I got that in a fight with some 
of the bandits, but I kept all 

975
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:45,040
my things and they're all dead. 
You should see the other guy s s

976
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,160
honesty. 
You can tell that he's lying a 

977
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:53,960
little bit, but it definitely 
feels along the lines of talking

978
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,400
a big game. 
He seems very confident. 

979
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,040
So what does this guy look like 
other than like in his forties? 

980
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,680
40s scar. 
Big nose, dirty clothes. 

981
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,560
Big nose, dirty clothes. 
No, I think his clothes are 

982
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,720
mostly dirty. 
He just hasn't, you know, 

983
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,040
there's some stains that aren't 
going to come out of his cool 

984
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,800
khaki vest. 
In fact, he'll tell you some 

985
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,440
stories about them if you want 
to ask. 

986
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,880
Oh OK, so like blood well worn 
clothes. 

987
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,040
Yes, yes, OK. 
He seems in pretty good shape. 

988
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,680
He's very well tanned. 
He definitely, even if he is 

989
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,880
older, he definitely looks like 
a guy who could survive in the 

990
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,680
jungle. 
OK, yeah. 

991
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,920
So that yeah, that was kind of 
more what I was considering as a

992
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,400
player. 
I kind of like this guy more 

993
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,000
than Pablo. 
Yeah, same. 

994
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,920
All right, everybody huddle up. 
Huddle up here. 

995
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,960
Think the tradition here 
whenever Daniel does an 

996
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,760
interview episode is we make it 
in a complete waste of time and 

997
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,880
hire everybody. 
Is everybody with me here? 

998
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,160
Do we have the funds for that? 
Who? 

999
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,560
Yeah, I think so. 
If we pool our resources, I'm 

1000
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,920
sure we do. 
I still have 4 credit rating. 

1001
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,360
I'm up to three. 
What are your funds looking 

1002
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,280
like, JB? 
One for something and Oh yeah, 

1003
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,200
about a Tommy gun. 
You did do that. 

1004
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,040
You did do that. 
I've got 3 so. 

1005
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:16,840
Yeah. 
So we probably have enough 

1006
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,640
obviously in. 
Are they all gonna fight each 

1007
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,880
other? 
Now that would be funny. 

1008
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,320
Check them in the sinkhole. 
Make them all fight each other. 

1009
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,320
Cullen walks in, breaks a pool 
cue. 

1010
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:34,360
We're gonna have everybody come.
I need to manage my expeditions 

1011
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,200
myself, says Guillermo. 
Oh shit, we're into uncharted 

1012
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:44,800
territory. 
If you truly do want to bring 

1013
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:49,760
along this Rick Luke with you, 
as long as he doesn't tell my 

1014
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:55,440
boys what to do or try to manage
the supplies, I don't mind. 

1015
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:00,040
But I know what I'm doing. 
I'm the the best expert there is

1016
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,720
around here. 
And I'm the guy you want. 

1017
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,960
The jungle is a very dangerous 
place. 

1018
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,760
I've seen broken bones you could
eat, poisoned berries that make 

1019
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,040
your that'll kill you in an 
hour. 

1020
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,400
Why would we want to do that? 
There's venomous snakes that'll 

1021
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,280
kill you before you take 3 
steps. 

1022
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,520
I know how to keep you away from
them. 

1023
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:26,120
I am the guy you want, and I'm 
very handsome, he says with a. 

1024
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,600
Grin 6 out of 10. 
Well, a slight grin. 

1025
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,840
Wait, assess honesty. 
Is he very handsome? 

1026
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,960
He's all right. 
Yeah, I I stand by it. 

1027
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:40,840
I do say 6 out of 10. 
Wait, how handsome am I? 

1028
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,960
Solid 9 I've. 
Never. 

1029
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,800
I've never thought about another
man that way. 

1030
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:52,200
Assess honesty. 
Suddenly you were struck by a 

1031
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:57,920
vision. 
It is of a door to a closet. 

1032
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,080
Kern's blush is because JB said 
he was a nine. 

1033
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,200
Smalls is like, yeah, I'm for 
hiring this guy. 

1034
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,560
Garza was recommended by your 
friendly local land Baron, but. 

1035
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,320
But he really does seem flighty.
Yeah, you're, you're seeming 

1036
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,680
like this Castillo guy seems 
like the professional, the guy 

1037
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,880
you want. 
Part of it is paranoia as the 

1038
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:28,040
player, part of it is Smalls is 
like, yeah no, there's a reason 

1039
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:32,600
why he didn't suggest him and he
was hiding something. 

1040
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,200
And it could just be more fun to
go with the second choice, yeah.

1041
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,480
Second answered. 
You could just bring Rick Luke. 

1042
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,000
He could just run the 
expedition. 

1043
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,240
No, I don't trust like that. 
Fuck that. 

1044
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,320
No, I want fun. 
Not everybody dies. 

1045
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,280
No, Rick Luke is a pet monkey. 
Maybe Rick Luke will be 1 of you

1046
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,280
when one of you guys dies. 
OK, now that would be fun. 

1047
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,040
I have not thought that. 
Would be really funny. 

1048
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,960
To be fair, maybe Guillermo 
Castillo could be one of you 

1049
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,320
guys. 
Would one of you guys dies 

1050
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,480
although he has less reason to 
travel around? 

1051
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,120
If JV bites, it divbs on Rick 
Luke. 

1052
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,920
Fair. 
Have colonized like hey, do I 

1053
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,160
get the feeling you guys respect
me a little more all of a 

1054
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,680
sudden? 
All right, so with that, I think

1055
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,560
it's time for you to start 
getting outfitted to head into 

1056
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,360
the jungle. 
All right, full camo, Fortunate 

1057
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,840
son starts playing. 
I don't think camo is a thing 

1058
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:30,880
yet, is it? 
Oh yeah. 

1059
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:31,960
Well. 
Camo would be a thing. 

1060
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,960
Well, camo's absolutely. 
Fortunate son. 

1061
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:39,800
However, I know Smalls is going 
to look for a firearm of some 

1062
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,920
sort. 
You could get a, you get a basic

1063
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,640
firearm, like, just like a 
rifle, yeah. 

1064
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:45,720
Machete. 
It's. 

1065
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:50,440
Recommended that you all have at
least one firearm with you to to

1066
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,080
keep the bandits at Bay. 
This is what Castillo 

1067
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,040
recommends. 
I guess I'll get a gun. 

1068
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,920
I've still got my light revolver
from the fallen police. 

1069
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,120
Gotcha. 
Yeah, the policeman's gun. 

1070
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,600
It's fine. 
Yeah, I didn't steal it from 

1071
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,520
him. 
Yeah, you looted the courts, 

1072
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,040
It's different. 
Yeah, and that area is a 

1073
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,880
sinkhole now, so it's not like 1
missing guns going to freak 

1074
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,280
people out. 
I'm good for weapons. 

1075
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:20,800
I'm I'm going to need a walking 
stick and like a backpack that I

1076
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:25,120
can throw off my back in like 
one second immediately as I need

1077
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,120
it. 
You're probably going to get me 

1078
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,880
to get new clothes while you're 
here. 

1079
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,720
You're going to want clothing 
that breathes and won't staff 

1080
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,520
you in the heat, and you're also
going to want things that are 

1081
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,080
sort of sturdy enough that they 
won't be shredded to pieces by 

1082
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,520
like, brambles and branches as 
you travel. 

1083
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,160
You're going to be tough boots 
and sturdy packs. 

1084
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:50,080
I mean my clothes are have 
bullet holes and a whole lot of 

1085
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,200
blood on them. 
Yeah, well that's weird. 

1086
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:58,080
Mine are self healing. 
Like a cutting mat? 

1087
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,160
Yeah. 
You're going to get sort of 

1088
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,520
generic adventuring clothes, as 
it were, for the jungle, unless 

1089
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,200
there's anything in particular 
if you want to add some style 

1090
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,600
like, oh, I'm going to wear a 
hat or a scarf or something like

1091
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,880
that, but. 
Colin would actually like to get

1092
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,080
himself set up with a basic 
prosthetic. 

1093
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,560
Oh, OK. 
There you go, I've. 

1094
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,440
Meant meant to bring this up 
before but forgot slash didn't 

1095
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,160
have an opportunity. 
Yeah, I think you can. 

1096
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,520
It's not even one or the other, 
it's like both at the same time.

1097
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,680
Yeah, yeah, I think so. 
You're not be able to do a ton 

1098
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,760
with it, but you know. 
I'm OK with that. 

1099
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:37,400
OK, that's fine. 
The the hiring of the porters is

1100
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:43,480
handled by your guide. 
He gets 5 porters to come with 

1101
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,320
you. 
They're going to be carrying all

1102
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,040
the food and water and the tents
and stuff like that. 

1103
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,120
You guys are going to be 
carrying some of the two, but 

1104
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,000
the reason that you hire porters
is because you need to carry 

1105
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,200
like a lot of crap when you're 
going into the jungle. 

1106
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,280
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1107
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:02,760
And with that, you step into the
dark and mysterious jungles of 

1108
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:14,560
the Yucatan Peninsula.
