- We find ourselves
opening night Misty Moore,
Lady Titania and her Seelie
Dance Fighters take the stage.
- The show must go on!
- You will be making death saving throws
with your performance checks.
- What the f*ck do we do?
- Let's k*ll Titania!
- I'll become a brown bear.
I would like to throw Steven
Sunheim at the big city.
- I Titania command that you kneel.
You Dragonball Z, jump into the air.
Titania crashes out of the sky
with you on top of her.
- That is a net 20.
- Titania has been slain.
You wear her shoes, you hold her crown,
and your ritual was a success.
I mean, who am I to refuse the crown,
when it's placed so deftly upon my head.
- Welcome one and all back
to The Unsleeping City.
My name is Brennan Lee Mulligan.
These are our intrepid heroes.
Say hi, intrepid heroes!
- Hi, intrepid heroes!
- You're going to make
the impression of 20s
on your thumbs, otherwise
the luck doesn't happen.
- That's the dream.
- I do them on my pointer fingers.
- Oh, 'cause you racy.
- g*ng, last we left off—
Come on.
- Oh no!
- Oh no!
- Where'd it go?
- Ill omens.
Last we left off, our intrepid heroes
had just slain Titania, the
Queen of the Seelie Faeries,
on stage at the premier
of midsummer nights,
starring Misty Moore.
- Who's she?
I don't know who that is.
- Who the hell is Misty Moore?
Misty retreated to her dressing room,
where she is enveloped
in a cocoon of light,
and the rest of our g*ng we left on stage,
after their holidays
and various adventures
in Nod and beyond.
You all are on stage.
The audience is being led out.
You see the critic from
the New York Times going,
Hey, smashing success!
Perry, you were a vision!
You see Perry looking
at it going
I'm so glad you liked it!
You see that Em, the
angel Bethesda fountain
turns over to you and says,
wow, I can't believe it.
Does this always happen at Broadway shows?
I don't make it out a lot,
'cause I live on a fountain?
- Yeah, I think so.
- I assume so, this is my first one too.
- I've only been to a couple.
- Absolutely not!
No, this is, something else is going on.
- I'll have to agree with Pete, no.
- Well, I agree with Kug, so you know.
- Two and two and two so—
- Well listen—
- I have to say that I
think this happens a lot.
- It's three to two.
- Ricky put your pants back on, God damn.
- Well listen, I've got a lot free time
because the fountain's still broken
so if anyone wants to come
to Washington Square Park and get coffee,
talk to me.
- Oh yeah, that sounds great.
- Do you?
I hate to do this
and you see that Esther's
over in the corner
cleaning some like blood
off of her magical silver bat, she's like,
I heard you saying that you were going
to go out for coffee with Esther,
I don't want to be like a third wheel
but if I like came by and got coffee.
- Oh my God, no you should totally come.
- I would love that, that would be so fun.
- Yeah.
- You see that she—
- Oh my God, we should start
our own like first wives club.
- I would love that because I don't ever
get a chance that and
like have a little fun
little adventure around the city,
I've been off the fountain for a while.
When they fix the fountain I'm gonna
have be like kind of stuck there again,
so if we like do something there.
- Oh yes, because just come
out while you were out, yeah.
- Yeah, I'm happy to host,
when I'm back at the fountain.
- Awesome, I love that.
- She does a little
kiss
and takes off flying.
You see that Esther and
Wally both walk over.
You see that Steven Soundheim at the edge
of the stage turns to you all and says,
incredible work.
You're all heroes, heroes of New York.
Vanishes.
- What!
- Oh my God, I didn't even get
to do my little red riding hood for him.
- You see Esther gets Don Confetti.
She looks at you guys and says,
I'm gonna head back to
the Clinton Hill Chantry.
I'll see you all there.
I'm gonna put him in a
magic circle basically.
She vanishes.
- Awesome, bye.
- Wally goes, wow, Dad, this
is the best show ever.
I didn't know it's like open mic
where you could jump up and do stuff.
- Yeah.
Wally you gotta be careful, we both
got knocked out there for a second huh.
- What?
- We almost died.
- When?
- All right bud, I just put
him on the, good show man.
- It was great, where's Ricky's dog?
- He'll be back.
He's gone right now.
- He died.
Someone k*lled him immediately.
- Pete.
- But it's okay when he dies,
I learned that the hard way
because I tried so hard to defend him
and then he just disappeared
and no one really cared.
- Oh okay, he went to a farm upstate.
- A farm made of light, yes.
You'll see him soon.
- This technically isn't a lie.
- This is really sad.
- Okay, well I better go back
to the apartment, I gotta—
- How old are you Wally?
- Huh?
- How old are you?
- I'm 38 years old.
- Okay great.
- 38.
- This is, I mean, okay, great.
- Yeah, I'm 38, I work for the MTA.
- Cool.
That's cool man.
- Pete, tell me how to deal with this.
What is the right way to navigate this?
- I'm thinking, just honesty, right guys?
- I better go take care of Dad, bye guys.
- It's his other dog.
It's his dog.
He named his dog Dad after me.
- All right, actually maybe
you are handling this right,
you're probably handling it right.
- Yeah.
- All right, I'm sorry.
- You guys are, so it's just,
basically the five of you minus Misty
that are left on stage right now.
See Alissa kind of concussed,
wonders off to go to
Misty's dressing room.
- What do you guys thinks
going on with Misty here
because that was weird.
- She's definitely got
some explaining to do.
- Yeah, she was saying there's a lot
that she hasn't told us,
but that it was really important
that the show went well.
So I think everything was fine.
- Well I do think that we
helped the show go well.
- And everything is not
fine, people got very hurt.
- Should we go bang on her door.
- Yes we should.
- We could politely knock first.
- I think we could bang.
- You's can bang. I'm
going to politely knock
while you wall bang.
- You could the knob first
and then you can bang on it.
- I'm going to politely knock.
- All right, so we're gonna
have a three step process.
- Gotcha.
You guys walk up and see Alissa already
politely knocking on the door.
Alissa cannot see it but
you see that just light,
pure golden light is like.
- I rush up and get Alissa to stand back.
Sorry, clear the way, I'm a firefighter.
- Oh, is there an emergency?
Do you need water, coffee?
- We're good, just need
you to stand clear,
and I check the knob.
- The knob is a little bit warm
but not dangerously so.
- Great, so can we bang now?
We've done the other first two step.
- So we can bang.
- Let's kick it down if
we're going to do anything.
- What? You three was a
- Red, you guys—
- So Jersey.
- Go ahead and give me an athletics check.
- Yeah that feels right.
- From politely knocking to kicking down.
- I got a 12.
- Bang
You kick the door open.
Boom.
As you turn around you see,
Misty is hovering about
three feet off the ground,
light is oozing all around her.
She has stripped herself off her skin
and is just down to this
like platonic primal form.
What is Misty, all the
glamor stripped away.
As her wraith faerie form look like?
- Just sort of an uncanny valley version
of a human.
Just everything is a little too big,
a little too spiky.
- Huge eyes, long spiky ears.
- Yeah, like places that
should be thin or too thin
like everything's just a little off.
- She's like an anime character?
- Yeah, or like a video game.
- Oh my God, she's beautiful.
- Misty, you're like deep
in this extremely vulnerable process
and your door to your
dressing room is kicked open.
- Excuse me?
- Let's close the door.
Ricky can you pick this back up.
- Pick the door up.
- Can I stay and watch.
I know you like an audience.
- As you guys kick the door open,
you see that your magic.
Hold on one second.
- Oh no!
- And 100% of you are sucked into the room
in a swirl of light.
- What?
- And you guys, you appear Pete.
You immediately are
able to protect everyone
because you guys are zapped into Nod.
As you appear in the Sixth Borough
you are very close to where Broadway is.
You guys are near the
old FAO Schwarz building
that was checked at.
But you see here in Dream,
this giant toy store is there.
Misty, you feel all of the joy and passion
and love and adoration
that you've harvested
is now filling your body.
You're in a volcanic state
but you are somewhat settling.
So you're kinda of like
making your new body
but you're in Dream so it's
a little bit chimeric still.
And you appear with all of your friends,
as you look around and see little sprites
and nixes and gregs and
pouckas and brownies
and little fair folk
all in the Dream realm,
kind of rushing over to FAO Schwarz
and doffing their caps
and waving and bowing
as they walk by you.
All of you are here in Nod together.
- Do you want some privacy?
- What's going on here.
- I mean, look I didn't think that.
Hi guys.
This was supposed to be
a private little thing
that was happening to me anyway and—
- In our defense we helped save your life.
- Yeah, look.
- Is this like that movie Cocoon?
- Or the fly.
- No, it's—
- Is this like that show Wife Swap?
But you're both wives?
- That is like, no, this is what I do,
every 78 years I come back,
although this time like,
I just have never had to
deal with the DMV before.
Like this has never been.
- You sound younger.
- Yeah, I just, every 78 years,
I reincarnate my body into a
younger form and I start over.
- But you sound younger, like a young p—
- Yes because I'm in
a young person's body.
- As you say that you see
that your body does start to,
it gets a little bit taller
although you're still quite short.
Your skin begins to
coalesce young and vibrant
all of your skin like
begins to like move up
into your body.
Your cheek bones raise
up like your eyelids
and lips and everything becomes
a little bit plumper and more moist
and just natural vibrant color
begins to flow into your skin
in the Dream realm,
but your hair and eyes
like shifting colors here
and you begin to feel all that tiredness
and liver spots and the
shifting of the hips
and everything like that.
Your body feels like good again.
- I'd forgotten what that felt like
to not have that ache.
- Sorry, you're still Misty?
- Yeah, I've been Misty this whole time.
But before I was Misty I was other people
and then before that I
was living in faerie.
- Wait, so is this like Misty Moore,
my favorite Broadway
singer and star just die.
- To the outside world yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Wow.
You're gonna fake your own death.
- Oh my God.
- Well, I mean, the body
that I was living in
it is kind of like a rebirth
so it's not a faked death exactly.
- You guys look back through this pulsing,
this after pulse of the
teleportation that brought you here.
And you see, you guys are all gone,
but you see that Alissa
peaks her head around
the partially open door
and sees Misty's body
on the floor and goes.
- Misty Moore.
And like screams and
goes over and she says,
oh my God!
And starts doing CPR.
But you see that Misty's
skin is flaking off
into just like leaves and birch part.
And she goes,
help!
This is so bad.
This is so bad.
- I mean Alissa was really dumb
but I feel bad for her right now.
- She was bad at her job
and now she's finally
doing something right.
I don't see what the problem.
- Oh.
- Wow.
- All of you guys are
taking this very poorly.
This is cool.
- No you're right
you're right.
- I just did a very cool thing.
- This is not cool.
- You're right, it is.
It's only because I
loved you as Misty Moore.
But you know what, now I'm gonna know you
before you were, whatever you were—
- Exactly.
- So that's very cool.
- You brought someone from the Fae
into a populated Broadway show.
- No, no, no, that was not me.
Somebody else put that
mirror on the stage.
- Well did you know?
Why couldn't we get anyone, this seem to.
This thing happened, did
you think it might happen?
Did you know that Titania was after you?
- Np.
- When we were in the Fae,
in that bar in the Fae.
- Yes.
So Robin Goodfellow did send me the mirror
that Titania and I may
have had a few words.
- What haven't you told us?
It feels like it could fill a book.
- No, no, no.
I mean look, should I have written
my autobiography, perhaps.
People were.
- Oh my God.
I'm going to k*ll you.
I hate how attractive you are now.
- I would have bought it.
- Because it's only going to get worse
now she's young.
- As I'm telling everybody this
I'm just gently touching everybody.
- Don't touch my heart like that.
- We should all come clean, right?
I have something.
- Yeah come clean.
- Is it that you have a crush on Esther?
- I should tell you guys that and—
- No, we know.
- I'm probably going to
become really good friends
with Esther so I can try and
put in a good word for you.
- If it comes naturally.
- Oh, it will come naturally.
- Don't force it or whatever.
Anyways I just wanted to be honest.
- You begin to hear the
chiming of the big floor piano
over at FAO Schwarz and
the ringing of bells.
You can feel a little tug
on your fae heartstrings
of some kind of conclave
or something being called over there
and you see creepily
floating through the mist
their black eyes wide open is Nod
who floats through the mist and goes.
Hey Pete.
- Hey.
- The conclave.
- What's going on at FAO Schwarz?
- Oh, the conclave. It's a—
- What is? Oh.
- It's a Fae conclave being called
because one of the monarchs
of Fae has been k*lled.
And you see that Nod looks down
at the crown in your hand and says.
I'm afraid only Fae and the friends of Fae
are welcome to come, but that
might be all of you guys.
- I don't know, I mean
you seemed pretty mean to,
I'm just kidding.
- God, I hate you.
I hate you.
- I love fans.
- Oh, incredible.
- Ooh this new body
loves bits, this is fun.
Finding out new things.
- An exuberant Misty,
for the moment walks by,
you see the beautiful courtyard,
you look at it and see a
whole row of wintery trees,
ash, and birch, and rowan,
out in Central Park.
You walk to FAO Schwarz, you walk in.
Huge toys everywhere and jangling things.
You see that the faeries have
kind of set themselves up
into little minor courts here and there.
There's a couple of very bashful-looking
members of the pixie mafia
who are looking around
kind of scared of not
having heard from their don
and knowing something's gone very bad.
- I just point threateningly at one.
- Oh.
- But just keep walking.
- Hey, it's no problem.
I don't got no beef with you.
I got no beef with you.
Go ahead.
Come on, you're a rat,
we're pixies, we're family.
- I just start pushing Kugrash forward,
like come on, come on.
I'm just like, come on.
- He's not worth it dog.
- Creepy little rat points.
- It's all right, we're okay.
- Waving at people like I
know so many people here
it's been such a long time.
It's like, oh my God, how's your cousin?
Oh my goodness.
- Everyone's being, it's of
course like your big day,
so everyone's being very deferential.
- Wait so she's young and
she's gonna become a queen now?
Misty just rules.
- You see that, well that's what you get
for a whole fight of me forcing you
to make death saving throws
and you rolling a nat 20.
You guys see that there
are also a little patch
of kind of gross little sewer goblins
and then there are also neon
butterfly-winged faeries
flitting around and spreading
neon light everywhere.
You see standing by this giant teddy bear,
leaning against it, smoking a little thing
of purple smoke out of a cigarette
in his long camel-haired coat
is Bobby Goodfellow.
- Bobby darling.
- You look great, what should I call you?
Or do you want a second to figure it out?
- No, I've been thinking about it.
I was thinking Rowan.
- Ooh.
- That's such a hot,
ah God, I hate you now.
Can I cast minor illusion to
make you look like you used to?
- I cast counter spell
on your minor illusion.
- Ah, f*ck you.
- I'm burning a third level spell
to get rid of your canture.
- You see that Bobby says,
you look f*cking good babe.
- Darling, you look good.
- Hey, so, we should get
drinks after if you want.
- I'd love that.
- I'll be happy to.
I mean, I'm here for business right now,
I'm sort of envoy of the Unseelie,
but we'll talk later.
- I mean, look, business and
pleasure, that's what we do.
- Hey, business is pleasure.
- The business of pleasure.
- I'm gonna barf, can I peel off?
I want to check out something else.
- Sure, you can peel off.
You see also that all—
- Can I come?
- Yeah.
- All by themselves is Nod,
who is seated on a little
cushion by themself
sort of as their own court.
But kinda looks up at you and waves.
You also see the last
little court that appears
is a little jack-in-the-box opens up
and a bunch of little wind-up toys
and chattering teeth come out
and a bunch of the clock gnomes come out
and all gather, you see Bilberry goes.
Oh, hey there friends.
How's it going?
- Yeah but how's that oil Bilberry?
- Oh, it's much better now.
You see the High Priestess
Hib-Hob comes out,
she's got a huge priestess hat,
but it's just a bunch of
clockwork and gears all
kinda stacked on one of those little
water-dipping birds is on it.
She goes,
hello.
Yes, drinking a lot more
oil, Kingston you're right
I do feel a lot better.
- I'm glad.
- Wonder if they have your motorcycle?
- Has the motorcycle?
- Oh and mine.
- You see that Bilberry
looks over and says
I was thinking about an initial design of,
and here we go over here.
He says, so most motorcycles
have wheels right?
But I was thinking, why
not mix it up a bit.
It's a pogo stick motorcycle.
So it's a pogo stick on the front
and a pogo stick on the back.
- I love it.
- Yeah, I mean, yeah.
- I like that.
Can I have a special request for mine?
- I'm good, got it.
- Can mine have a set
of wheels have like arms
so it looks like a person crawling.
- Now is that arms on the
front and arms on the back?
Like a four arm no leg monster nightmare?
- Yeah.
- Yes, I will get to
work on that right away.
- I just made this a new
friend and I feel like
it would be a really good impression
to show up to her place
for the first time on it.
- 100%, more of a quad really.
It's like an ATV but
instead of wheels it's arms.
- Nightmare.
Imagine reversing, it's like.
- Sounds like a Musaki.
- You guys see that,
Pete did you want to peel
off and go do something else?
Or?
- There's something I want to check out.
- Sure.
- If this is, can I do an insight check
to see if this is just
a crowning ceremony.
- Sure, yeah.
- Eight, no 11.
- 11, you don't think it's
necessarily a crowning ceremony.
It's probably that in
addition to some other stuff.
- Okay, cool.
I think I wanna talk with everyone.
I wanna go and check out, I
might have some new spells,
so I wanna check out
that weird thing at Hell.
Like the Hell mouth that you guys found.
- I would think that's fine.
I want to interrogate, I want
to go and meet up with Esther
at some point to interrogate Don Confetti
but I'm thinking that
won't happen anytime soon.
- Maybe we can do both?
- Yeah, let's see what's going on.
- Cool, so who's going
to go peel off with Pete
and who's going to stay with Rowan?
- I'll peel off with Pete.
- Cool, Sofia and Pete peel off.
- I'll chill.
- The rest of you guys remain here.
- I'll be the muscle.
- Yeah.
- You see that Nod stands.
You guys head off.
Nod stands and says,
the conclave is now called to order.
As a neutral party and
monarch of the realm of Dreams
I invite our faerie guests here
to witness the rebirth of Miss Rowan
- Berry.
- Berry.
And the creation of a new Fae realm.
You see that, Nod looks to you and says,
as you have defeated the Lady Titania
with the assistance of
your heroic mortal friends.
I would offer to you
that your new position
is yours to make.
These courts have assembled and ask
on behalf of what they represent
for the right to petition you
and give council before
your decision is made.
- Sure, speak out.
- You see that a tiny little neon faerie,
buzzing wings says,
hi I am Aquamarine and
as a representative,
as a representative of the Seelie court
I bow to you as that as
the one who has defeated
the former queen of the Seelie.
- Just to be clear to
everybody here she attacked me.
This is not me attacking her.
I didn't want to k*ll her
but she was very actively
trying to k*ll me and all of my friends.
- Straight up.
No hard feelings because
I will be very honest and
I don't liked and I'm not—
- Oh no, we don't mean
to speak ill of the dead
but also we're among friends.
- And I feel really hard,
especially hard to say this
because obviously as someone,
like I respect Titania
so much and obviously—
- Oh I respected the sh*t out of Titania.
- And all she accomplished.
And this is such a, this
is a thing that gets said
about a lot of powerful female
spirits and forces of nature.
- Trill, she was very—
- She was very hard to work with.
- Yeah.
- She was very hard to work with.
- Hard to work with, just
like my way or the highway.
- Yeah and there's just no room for kind
of talking about things and other idea
because like, my whole thing
is like anyone in the room
could have the idea.
- Right.
It's like delegation is so important
in leadership I feel like
and she made so much more work for herself
while being like I only
have this one idea.
- It's so amazing that
you're this beautiful
and so down to earth,
- Stop.
- You see that Bobby Goodfellow goes,
all right, all right, I gotta.
My name's Bobby Goodfellow,
as representative of the Unseelie court
I come from Lord Obron with his—
- Is he bad?
- I mean, I've heard things about—
- Because it's not like he didn't cheat.
You know what I mean?
Like he's not, it's not like
a marriage that was good.
Again, I don't want to
speak ill of the dead.
- Listen, they opened it
up hundreds of years ago
and then—
- Okay, right, but was
she happy about that?
- I don't know I think it
was one of those things
where it was kinda like we
either open it up or we end it.
- Right.
- So it's like, that's not fair, right?
- Yeah.
- That's why I'm never getting married.
In any case—
- Hey Kugrash, what do
they mean by open it up?
- I explain it for a long time.
And while I just like—
- You get like deep in the compersion
- I might as well explain to both of you
and I take Wally and Ricky aside.
- Wally's here?
- Wally's here?
- I don't know.
- No, Wally is not here.
- Okay, just Ricky then.
- You see that
Bobby Goodfellow says,
we would ask that because
the Unseelie depend
upon the Seelie to both
define and oppose ourselves,
we would ask that you
return the crown to us
and in exchange we will
acknowledge and recognize
the sovereignty of New
York as your own realm
and Lord Obron would be willing
to grant you three boons.
- I'm sorry, let me get this right.
You want me, the person who
doesn't believe in the monarchy,
but is still of the Seelie,
to give the crown over
to the Unseelie court
and then I just get three favors.
- I mean they're full boons so, you know.
- Yeah, I hear you.
But again, am an immortal being.
Three for a lifetime
doesn't seem like that many.
- You see that Bobby says,
I personally question whether
you are fully Seelie or not.
- Well I question whether
you are fully Unseelie.
- You see that the Seelie
faerie speaks up again,
Aquamarine, and goes,
I just again want to say that,
so our offer would be
that you keep the crown
and just refound the Seelie
court here in New York
as it's queen and sole monarch.
- You see that Bobby goes,
let's make it clear.
Rowan Berry is a vampiric entity.
She feeds off of the
hope and joy and passion
of the worship and adoration of mortals.
She's Unseelie if anything.
- Oh please.
I give people hope, I give people courage,
I lift people's hearts
when they live in darkness.
That's the most Seelie
thing for somebody to do.
- You see that Nod
stands up at this moment
where you say this and
Nod looks at you and goes,
you're right.
Miss Berry, I'm not Fae but I would like
to show you something if I can.
- Mm-hmm.
- And you see that Nod says, or Nod goes
and magic courses from
their hands and they say,
to rebut the words of the
honorable Bobby Goodfellow
I dispute the claim that Rowan Berry
or any of her former incarnations
were parasites or vampires.
And Rowan you see visions
from all over the world
of young kids in their bedrooms singing
into the mirror with your poster up.
- I do it for them.
I do it all for them.
- , You see girls
in the back of a minivan
on the way to a summer
camp asking their mum
to put the CD of the
original cast recording on.
I don't know if Rowan or Misty
actually believed that line
but you see incontrovertible proof that
you have not taken more than you've given.
And you look out and you see
that Nod speaks and says,
it is true that like
many entities Miss Berry
has sustained herself on worship.
But it is a cynical and small soul
that believes that worship diminishes
the soul of the worshiper.
All of the people who
have loved Misty Moore
and who will love Rowan Berry
have had their hearts and—
- We'll see.
- , Have had their hearts enlarged
and their lives enriched through
the act of their devotion.
It does not diminish a soul
to give worship or adoration
and everything that has
sustained Miss Berry
has been given back
tenfold to sustain those
who found their strength through her.
- I stand up and give a slow clap.
Nobody else? No?
Just me., alright.
- Nod looks over and says,
I believe the clock gnomes
have a rather intriguing
offer as a third option.
- Wonderful.
- You see that the High
Priestess Hib-Hob says,
well, if you wanted we would be happy
to take the crown and if you
wanted a Fae realm of your own
to shape it into something
more to your liking
if you wished.
- Why are we talking about what I want?
I'm so, this is America this is the land
of hope and dreams of democracy.
And we're coming here and saying
that I get to create a court
and I'm leading this court and no.
Absolutely not.
The will of the people must stand.
- All of the faeries are looking around.
There's a big hubbub.
You see that there's one
weird pile of leaves going,
hubbub, hubbub, hubbub, hubbub.
- Ah!
- Huh!
You see that Nod stands
up, raps their fist
on this little table
next to them and says,
then let there be a vote.
A bunch of little wisps of paper
and a little ballot box
in the middle open up.
You see that there are
three options on it.
One is to return the
crown to the Unseelie.
The other is to wear the
crown and become Monarch
of the Seelie here.
And the third is to found a Fae court,
with the blessing of Nod
and have the crown reshaped
by the clock gnomes
into something else.
You see that Nod distributes
ballots to Kugrash,
Kingston, and Ricky.
- I have a question about this.
Hi, I'm Ricky.
I'm not sure what any of this is.
When you say reshaping
it into something else
what does that mean?
- Like a g*n or a watch or a bicycle
or really sort of anything you want.
- But could it be a democracy
or does it have to be a—
- You see that Bobby
Goodfellow speaks up and says,
the Unseelie and the Seelie
have been monarchies forever
because that is the nature
of how they were created.
If you were to found something new
and to found that as a
democracy that's the business
of this new realm whatever it would be.
- Okay, thank you.
- I don't want to go too fast for you,
does that all make sense?
- I think so.
Bobby?
- Bobby, yeah.
- Ricky, sir.
- Ricky, how's it going?
- Also I just wanna say,
whatever happens I just
wanna still be an actor.
I love the stage.
I don't wanna, whatever situation
that we find ourselves in
I don't know if I wanna do that forever.
Maybe I could pull a Glenda Jackson
and be in politics for
and go back and do Lear.
- You see that Aquamarine says,
well if you were queen of the Seelie
we would kinda need—
- Right.
- You to be queen.
- And you see that Nod says,
I don't have any input on what the shape
of the Fae realm in New
York would look like
after your decision.
- Install Wally.
- I'm so glad you're not really here.
My inner Sofia is whispering all
of the worst advice in my ear.
- Wally for queen of the Fae.
- You see that faeries
start putting their votes
in the ballot box.
- It seems to me that the suggestion
to build a Fae world of our own,
it worries me that I'm the only operative
but that could also be
a democratic process.
- You see that Nod
affirms that and they say,
being the founder of
something is a manifestation
of the powerful magic you've created.
But being the founder is not
the same as being a leader.
You could create something
and step away from it
if that was your heart's desire.
- Wally world.
- It's a real place in Oz.
- Let's just make sure
we don't split the vote,
I feel like right now
the third party candidate
is making you the queen of New York
and we don't want this
crown to go to the Unseelie
so maybe we should all
get on the same page here.
- Yeah, go ahead and let
me know how you guys vote.
- I've generally found the
relationship to the Fae
as it has been to be
beneficial for New York.
So I will vote of giving
the crown to the Seelie.
- That's the option two?
- You mean to the Unseelie?
- No to the Seelie.
- So there option is that
you would become queen
and rule the Seelie, so it's option two.
- And would you have
to live in their realm.
- Yeah, pretty much.
- I guess I'll vote for the,
Kugrash votes to give it to the gnomes.
- Same with Ricky.
- Ricky votes for the gnomes,
you voted for the gnomes.
How does Misty vote?
- I mean I'm going to go gnomes.
- You see the ballet's created.
You see that Bobby Goodfellow says,
hey, it was worth a short.
I'm staying at the plaza so.
- Yeah, no fuss, no worry.
- No worries.
You see Bobby—
- I respect your hustle Bobby.
- Hey, you know, I gotta
make moves while I can,
I'm not in New York for that long.
You see, he goes over,
you see that Aquamarine flies over to you
and gives a little kiss
on your ringed hand
sort of crying.
Well, I don't.
The ballot comes out and the clock gnomes
start celebrating as the
clock gnome option wins.
You see that Aquamarine cries a little bit
and wipes her tears away.
You see that she looks up to you and says,
I understand why you
made the choice you did.
- Aquamarine I would love for you to come
and be a voice in the
formation of this new Fae.
I think it's really important to have all
of the voices represented,
not just the voices of change
but the voices of stability.
- You see that Aquamarine's
eyes light up and she says,
I will serve you, may
I ask of a favor of you
in exchange for my service,
for as long as their shall be time.
- Ooh a fairy asking a favor,
sure, just this once go ahead.
- You see she says,
I will gladly serve you, the favor I ask,
if you have taken Lady Titania's crown
as is your right,
if her shoes could be
returned so that they might
choose a new leader for
us in a leaders absence.
- I'm so sorry.
You are asking to create a
second monarchy within Faerie.
I think that we did not vote for that.
- Can I do a perception check.
- Yeah, do a perception.
- Okay nat 20.
- You see that—
- Another day another 20.
- You see that there doesn't appear
to be anything fowl or
wicked happening here.
You see that Aquamarine says,
you're right we didn't vote on it, but.
- Are you worried about what will happen
to the Seelie place?
- Without a monarch there's
nothing to protect us
from the Unseelie.
And I know it's sneaky but
you did give me a favor.
- But we didn't agree
that we would.
f*cking faeries.
- You begin to feel the magic of faerie
closing in on you.
- sh*t.
God these f*cking people.
Here is what I will agree on.
f*ck.
- Gives the shoes to Wally.
- You are not here.
- Why is the only thing that I can think—
- We're at a coffee shop.
- Is the bad ideas that Sofia would have.
- She still leaves.
- Tell you what.
While I am the leader of the court
I need the shoes in New York.
- If you get something
to replace the shoes
and don't need them anymore,
then a deals a deal.
How does that sound?
- On the other agreement that the leader
of the court in New York is the leader
of the court of Seelie and
anybody who sets themselves up
as a leader of Seelie is a pretender.
- Okay.
- And they're committing an ill*gal act.
- Okay.
You see that she says,
I'm just not gonna see my people destroyed
because both their artifacts are gone.
That's all.
- I get it.
I get it.
- And I know that I'm small and cute
but I'm not a pushover
and I'm not a dummy so.
- Please. Hey look.
You think I haven't been ignored
because I'm small and cute.
- You're small?
- In comparison to
these humans absolutely.
- She shrugs and says,
okay, take whatever time you need
but let me know when
those shoes become free.
And you see that she flits off.
You see the clock gnomes
come over and say,
well let us know what you want
us to shape the crown into
and we'll be happy to do it.
- Oh yeah, no, I'll have a
little thought, how about.
- No rush, take your time.
- I just don't want it
to get passay you know?
You want something that has
some lasting oomph to it.
- I understand.
- What if you get a snap band
and then snap bands aren't cool anymore?
- Snap bands will always be cool.
Snao.
- You know you're right.
Snap bands will always be cool.
- You guys walk from this
place as the conclave
and you bestow with this new power.
- Can I have a look at this crown?
I don't know what it does except for.
- It doesn't have a trigger on
it to sh**t spells out of it.
- Bang!
- It does just have the
power of that station.
Of being like a lord or lady of Fae.
We're gonna cut over to Sofia and Pete.
You guys are dipping out into Nod.
What do you guys do as
you go out into Nod?
- I mean, I'm in general
just kinda acting aggressive.
- What!
- Because I'm your escort.
- Oh, because you said
you would be my muscle.
- Yeah.
- Look, Sofia, I've been
working out a lot okay?
- I know.
- I even worked out with Ricky once.
- You look awesome.
- And it was a nightmare.
Thank you.
- I honestly wanted to join
you guys, it sounds super fun.
- You should definitely come.
- I used to do Zumba and
then my favorite teacher left
because she had a kid.
- It makes all the
difference who's the teacher.
- Exactly.
- Absolutely.
Okay, I want to check
out where that growth is
that Kugrash told us about.
- You see it spreading throughout the city
but you can follow it to
the heart of the infection.
And yeah, you see it
spreads from the golden door
hanging over the city, the
rectangular golden light.
- Cool.
- And you see that this weird
suspended in plasma and blood
crumpled and strung out dollars and cents,
sludge of money moving
throughout the Dream realm.
But you arrive at the
heart of the infection
near the middle of Manhattan.
- Cool, can I do an insight?
- Yeah, go for it.
- Great, that is a 22.
- Awesome.
What is Pete trying to gleam?
You definitely see it in it's fullness.
You're using your Vox Phantasmus authority
to look through the Dream realm
and see all the places that it's going.
- I wanna see who put it there
and what purpose it's serving.
- With a 22 you can see
that people put it there.
It does not appear that
some single malevolent force
created this but rather
some malevolent forces
have taken advantage of this being here
and propagated it.
In other words it is
this weird psychic growth
on top of this dream of the golden door.
In other words it's not like,
oh the Dream world was great and lovely
and then some evil money thing came
and made there be a money infection.
It's like no this poison
has always flirted
around the edges of what this dream meant.
But rather than forces
creating it you can see
they're forces tapped into it
that are siphoning energy
and power off of it.
And there's a couple throughout this city
but a bunch of the deepest
most powerful roots
are way downtown.
- Where Moses is.
- I wanna take out, I have a
lip box that's almost done.
So I just wanna scoop
up the very last of it,
put on a layer and then I'd
like to scoop some of the sludge
into my lip gloss file.
- Cool.
- So that I have a little bit of it.
- Yep, you get a nasty little vial
of this toxic money sludge.
- So this is running money
to where and like from?
- Yeah, exactly.
It's basically this thing,
like before when we were
talking about the rat race
that you guys found in Hell.
Basically what this is is it's like
the archetypal dream here
is prosperity, happiness,
thriving, a home, this and that.
All the stuff that people want.
And then this infection is like,
oh you need me to get that.
And then eventually
blinds and corrupts people
where they're like forget the thing
they were getting money to get.
- Can I see what happens if I sh**t it?
- I was gonna say maybe we
should eat a little bit.
- What the f*ck?
- By the way—
- Just a little bit, like a little taste
to see if it has an effect.
- Are you?
No that's too scary for me
but go for it if you want.
I'm gonna sh**t it and
then maybe a slice will—
- Oh good.
- Okay well let's sh**t it first,
I'll mage hand it you sh**t
it and we'll see what happens.
- You go to sh**t some
of it with your g*n and—
- Don't eat it I have a
much more sensible idea,
I'm gonna sh**t it.
- You see by the way that
as you go to collect some
you see that some of this
stuff is coming out of you.
You look at your backpack and see all
the bricks and stuff that
you reupped from 53V3N
and a strong—
- This is capitalism.
So it's just, I'm seeing a—
- Is any coming from me?
- Physical
manifestation of capitalism.
- There's a tiny little thread
or tether going to your purse.
But it's not, there's like
a thick nasty root coming
out of the block.
You got a 22 on your insight right?
- Mm-hmm.
- You look down at it, you
see that like some of the—
- Sorry, go on.
- No, no, no.
You see that it appears to be connecting
to some of it more powerfully than others.
- Like Cherry...
- There's like a little bit of,
there's like some of the weed in your bag
has like a very thin little
trail to the thicker one.
You see the cocaine and the heroine have
these thick rooted things.
And as you look down you take out your g*n
blast one of the thick arteries
and you look down and see a wall
against a warehouse somewhere,
someone being pushed up against it
and being shot in the back of the head.
As you can see that they were dragged out
of a jeep for trying to escape from
this cocaine harvesting operation.
- Great.
Okay, yeah.
Fully like capitalism.
Okay cool, I've found what I want.
Did you wanna go do something?
- Go ahead and make a wisdom
saving throw for me real quick.
- Great.
What do I add to that?
- Add two, so 16.
- 16.
- 16, cool.
You see that this f*cking
brick of sh*t in your bag,
the thing you're seeing is not unrelated,
that's like the history
of this brick of cocaine.
It's like, oh someone made this,
tried to escape, and the people—
- They're forced to scrape plants
and they were, yeah, f*ck.
- And then ran the f*ck away and was shot
and k*lled for trying to escape.
What's going on with Pete right now?
- I'm bummed.
By life choices.
I'm confused and I'm also really bored.
Because I haven't been
high in a really long time.
- I mean, I've got honestly
a lot of nips on me
if you want something.
- I would but I just am like—
- Be my guest.
- Am I bored or am I running away?
- You're right, sometimes
you need to be bored
to figure out what's going on.
- It's true, thank you.
Do you have like a Malibu rum though?
The alcohol content—
- I do, I do.
- Is so low, I would love just a sip.
- The coconut one
is pretty much cocaine.
- It tastes like sunscreen.
- What was the revelation
Pete had a second,
it looked like you and
Pete recognized something.
You went like.
- Yeah, it sounded like some
of the stuff that 53V3N got was infected.
- Yeah.
- So was this a specific thing
or was it just tied to the cocaine
because that's like the
least ethically harvested
and spot and sold.
- It seems like that's the thing you see.
- Okay.
- And you see it also in a lot of other,
as you're just looking through Nod,
you see it coming out of some forms
of retail stores like it's
attached to like f*cking—
- sl*ve labor?
- Yeah, exactly. You see
there's like a diamond—
- It's the ethics.
- I was gonna say like can
I have some diamond earrings
that I swear to God they're real diamond,
can I hold them up and see?
- One of them has a
thick nasty root of evil.
There's a diamond on your ring
that has a thick nasty root of evil
and then your two diamond
earrings have got nothing.
- So I guess some diamonds
are bad and some are—
- Some diamonds are real.
- Oh my God.
- Yeah, you see two pieces of glass—
- Your ear is bright green.
- I thought that was
because the diamond was just—
- Diamonds don't do that.
- Casting a green—
- No, diamonds do that.
- A green kiss of the real diamond.
- The green kiss of a real diamond?
Is that what you were just saying.
- Yeah, that's the thing
we say in Staten Island.
Okay, let's head back.
- Cool.
You guys head back,
as you guys are catching
the I train back out of Nod,
heading towards, I presume
the Clinton Hill Chantry
where Esther is.
What do you guys go ahead,
what do you guys say
when you meet up at the train station?
- What happened.
- Wild day.
- Oh yeah, how did it all go?
- So, I think that we're
gonna instigate some
kind of fairy democracy,
we'll see how it goes,
I don't know, sometimes
you instigate a democracy
and it goes well and sometimes it doesn't.
- Yeah, the gnomes are doing their work.
- Yeah, I like the gnomes,
they seem pretty stable.
- Can I roll to hide how big
of a crush I have on new Misty?
- Yeah absolutely.
- What would that be, deception?
- That would be deception.
- 18.
- 18, cool, go ahead and
give me an insight check.
Miss Rowan Berry.
- Do I get advantage on seeing
other people's deception?
- No, I don't think you do.
- Insight?
- Insight.
- 21.
- Pete is hornt up.
- I take Pete's cowboy hat
- What's the height difference
- And I put it on.
- Stop it, give me that back.
God, you're so dumb.
- Doesn't it suit me?
Don't you think it looks cute?
- Pete, why do you think she's dumb?
- I don't know, I'm just, it's weird
when your friend all of a
sudden is completely different.
- Ricky put some clothes on.
- Yeah, Ricky you were
naked in that whole judge—
- Okay, okay, let him come
around to it on his own time.
- I keep forgetting, sorry.
- You keep forgetting.
- It's all right, you're fine.
- Oh, I forgot.
- Lovely, you guys get to
the Clinton Hill Chantry,
you walk up.
Oh, hi Ricky, how's it going man?
Frank.
- Hey Frank, how's it going?
- Good, you know.
Can't complain.
Getting pretty cold out here,
a little frost behind the old knocker
but you know, it is what it is.
- I said I'd bring you
a sandwich didn't I?
- Hey, man.
It's not a problem.
- Next time I'm gonna
bring in two sandwiches,
I'm sorry about that.
- Oh man, see this is why I like you man,
you're such a good guy.
You're real, New York's
bravest man, I love it.
It's great.
You know it's funny, the
other day I was talking
they got a—
- Yeah?
Keep going, I'm sorry.
- Door swings open.
You guys walk in, see
that there's a large room
in the chantry, Esther's
moved one of the tables
so that in the center of the floor
there's this runic magic circle.
And Don Confetti with his
hands tied up behind his back,
is sitting in the middle
of this little circle.
Very unimpressive looking
now that he's not surrounded
by his pixie mafia.
He looks at all you guys
as you come in, he goes
I'm not talking with nobody.
I'm not saying nothing without my lawyer.
The door closes
and he goes,
I will fully cooperate with
everything you wanna do,
I will spill all the beans,
please, please help me.
- Darling, I'm so glad that you're
being sensible about this.
- All I wanna do is help.
I regret my life of petty crime.
- Can I just add, cast
zone of truth on him.
- That's a good call.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
- Sure.
- Yeah, I cast zone of truth.
- You feel him fail.
You feel the spell come into effect.
So Ricky, you stand up
and command this zone
of honesty around you.
What is Ricky creating a
zone of honesty look like?
- How big is the zone?
- It's a 15 foot radius.
- Oh sweet.
- Are we all in it?
I'm like I'm trying to
back up a little bit,
- Oh no.
- I think we need some wisdom
saving throws from you guys.
- Oh I got a nat 20.
- I'm all good, 22.
- 21.
- 21.
- What a waste of a nat 20 though.
- 19.
- I'm gonna say role with disadvantage
because you're rattled by Rowan over here.
- God damn it.
- 13.
Pete you fail.
You failed to save.
- Rowan are you gonna start studying—
- I scratch the back of your head.
- Stop.
Are you gonna start studying acting again
or what's your schedule gonna be like?
- I don't know, isn't it so exciting?
- That's so exciting.
- Don Confetti.
- I cast minor illusion
so we all look like
the really ultra hot
DAs from Law and Order.
Just like really well fitted lawyer suits.
- Oh my God, cool.
- Yeah, yes sir, so sorry.
- I command you to tell the truth.
- Did you get southern all of a sudden?
- To tell the truth.
- You see him—
- He is but a humble southern lawyer.
- You see—
- He's got suspenders on.
- He then goes
I don't know if you're speaking behalf
of the fire department or
if you're legally allowed
to make these demands
but I accept, I submit to
your authority and I agree.
What is it you wanna know?
- Ducky, what's going on?
- Okay, here's basically what's going on.
I was sent here a long time ago by Titania
to basically oversee some faerie
business here in the city.
You had run away and you
were here with the shoes
and that was the thing I was
maybe suppose to consider,
you know looking after.
But when I got here,
very quickly Robert Moses
he was at that time not a businessman,
he was actually the head of
a lot of civic organizations
that had to do with infrastructure
and he was responsible
for building all the major
highways in New York.
- See, the banality of evil.
That is so God damn boring.
- Yeah he got all of the—
- Course the most evil guy
is the guy that built
the highways, so dull.
- Yeah he's real bad.
But he built the highways
and pretty soon the highways made it
so that the tiny little people
like that couldn't come here,
you know what I mean?
So I—
- Potato, Potato.
- So when the cat is
prevented from accessing you
because of a series of
highways in a shape of a hex
the mice will play
and so you remember how
faerie pays a tithe to Hell,
about 10% of what faerie
makes has been paid to Hell
part of an old agreement.
I stop paying my taxes to Titania
when the highway hex was finished.
And Robert Moore has found out
and they did me for tax
evasion, can you believe it?
Me, a mafia boss.
- I get it.
- So you were working with Hell
because they had something on you?
- I was working with Hell
because unlike faerie they had somebody
on the ground here in New York.
- Who, Bob Moses?
- He
said it's Robert Moses.
- Isabella Infierno who
was working for Bob Moses.
So that bag I gave to your
brother that was them,
basic letters have been ferrying my tenth,
my tithe to Isabella.
Unbeknownst to me, I found this
out in the last day or two,
she wasn't giving any
of that back to Hell.
- Where was she bringing it to?
- Well a lot of those
magical stuff and ritual gear
and yada yada yada.
- She was just spending it on herself.
- On herself and on Mr Moses.
- See this is what you gotta do.
You go in, you get the gig,
you say pay me half as a check
and then you get half of it in cash
and then you pay the taxes on the check.
- You're kinda sounding
like your old self again.
- It sounds like Robert Moses
is trying to play both sides
and then protect himself—
- Really he's just.
- He's just trying to create his own realm
that he has ultimate control of.
- And stop Hell and faerie
from getting in here
so that he can kinda rule everything
or rule New York unopposed.
- King of New York, huh?
- Looks like it.
- I don't like it.
- So then that would put
you against him, probably.
- I mean I've been against him.
Oh, I should tell you, he did come
and visit me on Christmas Day.
- What?
- Just—
- Like for what reason?
- Real big boy, I'm the boss
around here, kinda moves.
Nothing solid.
He didn't say anything real.
- We should go visit him.
- But you're all right.
Robert Moses didn't try to play faerie
and Hell against each other.
He successfully played faerie
and Hell against each other.
- How does Heaven factor into this?
Is Robert Moses playing them at all?
- No, not that I'm aware of.
- But, he says,
that was the one kinda hole in his plan
was the idea of he knew
how to play this game
with Hell and faerie but you can't sell
your soul to Heaven,
they won't buy a soul.
So, basically he had to find someway
to square his soul with Heaven
that wouldn't have to do with—
- The list.
- The fountain.
Or the list.
- Oh, yeah that'll work.
That for sure.
- Do you know where the list is?
- All that stuff that
we took went to Moses.
- Oh, so you did take that.
- The list we took.
- And the pixies that went down for that,
was that just a favor,
you just threw those guys under the bus.
- They'll be well taken
care of on the inside.
Sometimes members of the family gotta take
a fall for the organization.
- What about the clock gnomes?
Was that you guys too?
I pull out the little
baggie of pixie dust.
- As you pull out the pixie stuff
you can automatically see
that it sort of sprinkles off.
- Oh yeah, this looks right.
- You see he shrugs and says,
Moses wanted to the Big
Book of Bits and Baubles.
- The what?
- Moses wanted the Big
Book of Bugs and Baubles?
- The Big Book of Bits and Bubbles.
- Are you making
fun of my speech impediment?
- No it's called the Big Book
of Bits and Baubles right?
- The Big Book of Bits and Baubles.
- Yeah the Big Book of—
- The Big Book of Bits and Baubles?
- The Big Book of Bits—
- The Big Book of Bits and Baubles.
- We all know about the Big
Book of Bits and Baubles.
- We all know what it's called
and we know how to say it.
- Yes. Exactly.
- So he has everything now right?
He's got the list, he has
the ability to make a stone.
- He
has the key to the city.
- He has a key to the city.
- The time stone.
- He's got the time stone.
- Where is he?
- Your guess is as good as mine,
he doesn't give me his location.
We had drop off points.
- Do you know where he's—
- Esther you got a read
on where he might be?
- You see that Esther shrugs and goes,
I wouldn't know where to
start looking for him but.
She goes,
if only we still had it, but
it's been missing for years.
- What?
- The Sardinian Eagle.
- The Sardinian Eagle?
- I like that.
- The Sardinian Eagle was a artifact.
It's an extremely powerful artifact that,
it can help locate and find areas
of extreme magical importance.
If we think that there's
a chance that Moses
is going to do some kind of ritual
or cast some kind of important spell
then the Sardinian Eagle would be able
to help us find that location.
- What's it look like?
- I believe the Sardinian Eagle was—
- Looks like a bird?
- Was it up someone's—
- Someone's a*s?
- I know where it is, y'all
ain't gonna like that.
Y'all ain't gonna like where
it is, but I know where it is.
- You know the Sardinian Eagle?
We need to get our hands
on it as soon as possible.
- Oh we don't wanna get
anyone's hands on it.
- I think we wanna cover—
- Why?
Well, I'll put my hands on it.
- Grab it as soon as we can,
what are you talking about?
- No we're not, nobody wants
to put their hands on this.
- Can I ask the question?
Where is Bob Moses from?
Which realm is his, where he's from?
- From my understanding Mr Moses
is a powerful form of undead.
- Wow, but he's not a vampire.
Because I can see him.
- So the undead aren't
necessarily from Hell.
That's kind've like their own breed.
- Exactly.
- They're from our plain, right?
- The undead—
- Oh, perhaps they're
creating an undead realm.
- You might say that the
undead are more committed to
from being from Earth
than even the living are.
They sure have a hard time letting go.
- It's really insightful.
- I wanna point something out.
- No judgment or anything.
- I know that I got clowned
pretty hard in the last fight.
I've been running a very
successful mafia organization
for decades.
- Look darling, who are you talking with?
- You threw your daughter
a beautiful wedding.
- Thank you, I actually
put a lot of thought
and she's my fifth daughter to be married
and we didn't skimp on
an expense because—
- It was really beautiful.
- You could feel that when you were there,
it didn't feel like you chose favorites.
- It was truly magical.
- I am a bad man.
I'm a bad man.
- I know, I think you're
a f*cking piece of sh*t.
- I won't—
- After this I am going to beat you up.
- I am a piece of sh*t—
- No!
- And you are welcome to
beat the sh*t out of me.
- Yeah, I'm going to.
- I can't stop you.
- I've got a f*cking spell slot left.
- I'm like, hey, come on Sofia.
- Everyone should feel like a
princess on her special day.
And I believe that 100%.
- That's great.
Okay, so Bob Moses really
wanted me to work with him.
Should I pretend like I've flipped?
Should I go meet him?
- I can also get the Sardinian Eagle.
- Yeah, let's get the,
I think trying to trick
some crazy primordial being
is just gonna blow up in our faces.
- We have knowledge
that he knows about us.
He probably at some point
knows that you just said
what you just said.
- Pete, you can't even hide
the fact that you've got
a crush on Rowan.
- I f*cking don't.
- Hey, you're under the
zone of truth right now.
- Can I text like somebody
in clerical stuff—
- I do, I have a huge
crush on you, who are you?
- At the hospital—
- Fine, you know who I am.
- To get mold master's address?
- You sh**t a text over
to Emiko, Ricky's sister,
and she texts back and says.
- Yeah, he hasn't been in in a while.
Why, are you worried about something?
- Yeah, based on our last visit
I just wanna check up on him.
- He's probably lives
pretty close to the location
of your hospital, right?
- Yeah, well I just wanna get his—
- I have a spell.
- You have a bag the Bagel.
- I can text somebody and
get an address real quick.
- Yeah, you get—
- Oh but you can use magic.
- Nobody asked me.
Nobody needs to use magic,
we don't have to use magic.
- But why wouldn't we use a magic bagel?
- We can use magic all the time.
- I cast Hellish Rebuke on Don Confetti,
- Wow, dugs out.
Bada boom.
- Do you know—
- We don't need to beat up every—
- It was just a bit, it was just a bit.
- Who was it that took care
of my friend, Sofia's husband?
- That was Isabelle
Infierno who did the deed.
- Did she k*ll him?
- Do you want to know?
I have like mindlink with you privately.
Do you want to know details?
- I'm pretty sure I know the detail.
I suppose when I saw
his spirit it was intact
and so perhaps that gives me the illusion
that he had a sort of
peaceful honorable death.
I guess if he was put
through a garbage disposal
I don't wanna know that.
I'm gonna take five.
- Cool I'll walk with you.
- I walk to the bathroom.
- We can go get coffee or something.
- Esther you wanna grab that coffee?
- Esther nods and says,
that sounds like a good
idea, let's do that.
It's also very late and
you've all been through
a knocked down dragged down fight.
Maybe we do tomorrow
we'll grab a cuppa Joe
and you can rest.
We have a bed here if
you wanna crash here?
- Yeah do you wanna like snuggle
and watch k*lling Eve on a laptop?
It sounds really soothing right now.
- I've heard about that k*lling Eve.
- I wanna be very clear about something.
Sandra Oh is the most
underappreciated actress of—
- She's f*cking amazing.
- Why is no one?
Oh wait, we're gonna watch k*lling Eve,
I'm gonna run down to the Bodai,
I'm gonna grab a pint.
What's your favorite
flavor of Ben and Jerry's?
- Oh I thought you were talking alcohol.
- Ricky loves k*lling Eve,
weren't you just talking about that?
- I'd love it, I haven't
seen it but I love it.
- I look at you like you f*ck.
- I gotta say, I don't wanna
make a big deal out of this
but when Sandra Oh was very young
she did take a workshop with me
and she already was incredible.
- That is so interesting,
tell me everything.
- Esther looks over, Don Confetti says,
it seems like my business
here is concluded.
- Esther turns and says, alright.
- Lowell Master's address pops
up on your phone right away
you have like a little nurse app on there
that Emiko sends the records to you.
You see that Esther turns and
says to you Kugrash and goes,
but wait a minute, does Moses
have everything he needs?
Because the door can't be opened,
it's locked without a lock on it.
So even with the key
there is no lock to put.
- What about the—
- But isn't he trying to—
- Well the timestone.
- Create a law.
- The bits and bobins.
- You see that Esther goes,
no, Nod has forbidden
a lock to be created.
- But what about, sorry go for it.
- But if the lock was created
on Earth and not in Nod
Nod wouldn't have jurisdiction
over it, would they?
- To my understanding,
they have also barred
the entry of a lock into—
- But Sinatra's Law?
- Yeah, Sinatra's Law,
if you can make it here
you can make it anywhere.
- You see that Esther
looks over to you and says,
Sinatra's Law?
- Yes.
- You see that she says,
right an object.
She goes and gets the big
tome down and she goes.,
an object that is barred or abjured
from being conjured or
created in a given locality
can be conjured created
in that given locality
if it is first conjured created within
the Five Boroughs of New York.
Sinatra's Law of the Imperial Axiom.
If you can make it here.
- You can make it anywhere.
- Oh no.
- So they're going to make it
and then bring it to the door.
- Or they'll make it here and then they'll
be able to make it in Nod.
- Yeah.
- You see that—
- You're so smart.
- We all figured it out Pete.
- Just so I have a clear visual of this.
How tall are you and how tall are you?
- I'm five nine pushing five 10 actually.
- I'm like five foot one and a bit.
- Oh, I thought pixies
were like two feet tall.
- No, Misty was like four 10.
And Rowan's like five one and a half.
- Okay, cool, cool.
- Pixies are small, faeries
are a little bigger.
- So you see that Esther says,
that's so bad, the
Imperial Axiom of course.
alright, coffee tomorrow.
Kingston—
- I'm gonna go now.
- Alright.
It's late at night, so rolling up
at Lowell's might be a little tricky at
this time of night but—
- No, I'm going.
- You guys head off, cool.
- Is there a way to find out what was
in the Big Book of Bits and Baubles
that they need to create this stone?
Because maybe that's a process—
- Materials-wise?
- That they're in the middle of right now.
Yeah, maybe there's something.
- You see that Esther says,
do you wanna hit the books
with me here in the Chantry?
- Sure, yeah.
- Oh I'll hit the books that sounds good.
- Yeah?
We can just put on Eve in the background.
I'm not gonna watch, I'm gonna be working.
- It'll be a great watch for me.
- Cool.
- Esther's gonna give you
the help action to you
go ahead and make an arcana
check with advantage.
- Cool.
Two nat ones.
What the f*ck!
That's insane.
- That is a one in 400
odds, to role two nat ones.
On a role with advantage.
- You're just so hot now.
What?
- Make a wild magic check for me.
- 13.
- Okay.
- If only we could have kept her going.
- Incredible.
- Maybe I can step in
with my arcana to help.
- No, with two nat ones nobody
can step in with any arcana.
- Jesus f*cking Christ.
- Esther immediately regrets her decision.
Pete tries to do this sorcerer
supreme research sh*t.
- The whole point of sorcerers
is they don't read books.
- Incredible.
You're also exhausted.
Pete you pass out.
Esther snuggles up with you
and you guys end up watching this.
- I'm just so confused.
- What do Rowan, Kugrash and Ricky do?
- I'm knackered, I'm going home.
- Kingston, are you going tonight?
- I'm going tonight.
- You don't wanna go tomorrow?
- I don't wanna wait.
All of this that's going on—
- Alright I'll go with you then.
- Alright, cool.
- I guess I'll go too.
I feel weird here.
- You can watch k*lling Eve.
- It's okay, I'm gonna go with the boys.
- Alright, little boys adventure alright.
- Are you sure?
- It's fine.
- I wake up and go, what the f*ck.
- You're a couple episodes in.
- Step in.
- I think—
- I can walk you through
what's happened already.
We've got a snuggle going.
- Alright, I'll stay.
- Fine, I'll go and do the chore.
I'll go with you, but I have to say—
- Old people crew.
What's up.
- So the old people crew,
Ricky are you staying?
- I'm gonna stay.
- On the bed that has
Sofia and Esther there,
go ahead and make a flat charisma check.
- To find out which corner
of the bed you sit on.
- That would be 17, wait
saving throw or just a check.
- Just a check.
- Okay then 13.
- Cool, you lie down fully
hanging off the side of the bed
so you're not making body contact at all.
- I'm like have one foot on the ground.
- You also can't really see the laptop.
- But not complaining about
it at all, just tolerating it.
- So uncomfortable but
you're like, I am here.
- At least I'm—
- Might sleep on the couch
somewhere with my cowboy hat on.
- Yeah, you're like snoozing over there.
- What's that character's deal?
- You say that with every new character.
- What are they doing?
Oh that's what they're doing.
- Wonderful, wonderful.
You guys head all the way uptown.
Lowell lives Washington Heights.
Train immediately pulls
through the station.
You go through the turnstile.
- Oh wait wait wait.
There's a great molly lady
right here that we just have
to get a couple for the road.
- No thank you.
- I never come to this neighborhood
come on Kingston please.
- You are more than
welcome to go Miss Berry,
I have no interest.
- Kingston you're so boring now,
fine we'll go and do the chore.
- You guys arrive in a
little apartment building,
like six unit, three
story apartment building
in Washington Heights.
As you arrive there you see
a little thing on the buzzer
that says Masters on it.
- I press it.
- Pause.
Hello?
- Hey, Lowell?
It's Kingston Brown from the hospital.
- Hey, Kingston,
can I help you, is everything alright?
- Yeah, the city is in danger Lowell
and I believe you're one of
the few people who can help us.
- [imitating intercom
buzz] I've been waiting
for this moment my whole life.
- Alright, buzz us in.
- Come upstairs.
You guys are buzzed upstairs.
You arrive up at the sixth apartment,
all the way at the top,
little marble stair walkup.
It's one of those marble staircases
where the marbles actually
buckled a little bit,
it's been walked on so many times.
You get to this door, you
knock on it, it opens.
The rich smell of spices and incenses
and an unmistakable plastic smell
of lube wafts out of the apartment.
It looks like a wizard's
incubation chamber.
Every square inch of the
apartment is dangling gems
and a Balinese demon mask
and a tall standing suit of armor
and a little pile of gold.
It's like the inside of a dragon's horde
if it was all glued to the inside
of a little two-bedroom apartment.
Lowell opens it, you see he's wearing
a blue buttoned-up short-sleeved shirt
and some khakis.
He looks a little bit wet,
like he just showered.
He goes, I've been waiting
for this day a long time.
- Well, I'm glad.
These are my friends, Kugrash and—
- Rowan.
- Rowan Berry.
- I love your place so eclectic.
- He looks at you and says,
my God, I'm sorry it's a
little bit messy right now,
did I see you in an episode
of Law and Order, or am I?
- No, I get that all the time, but no.
- You're great, are you,
this is a crazy thing to
say, are you represented?
Because my cousin is a—
- This is happening already?
- Lowell this is not the same—
- I'm sorry, it crazy.
- This is not why we're here.
- You just got such a
look, do you do modeling?
- I've been thinking about it actually.
- You should get head shots.
- I maybe am too short,
but maybe that's a thing.
- No, I think—
- Alright.
Lowell, how you been, you good?
- I'm good.
The past month has been
the best month of my life
and I owe that to you Kingston.
- Oh stop, you don't owe me nothing.
- Come on in, take a look around.
- You guys see this place is filled with
these incredible artifacts.
You see that there's a jade statue
of this ancient emperor king.
There's all this crazy stuff.
There's a box of Spanish
doubloons with a gilded dagger
on the top of it.
All this wild sh*t is here.
- Can I turn around
real quick to these two?
Don't touch nothing, it's
probably been in his a*s.
- So, what can I do for you?
- Have I removed an eagle
or a bird from his as*h*le?
- You have removed a bird from his a*s.
- Okay, great.
Hey Lowell, on one of your appointments
I believe there was like a bird
that needed to be taken care of.
Do you still have that bird?
- You see he goes, the bird,
oh the bronze eagle I found?
- Yes, I believe so.
- You see he goes, you
just want anything to drink
or anything while we're here?
- Earl Grey Tea.
- You see he goes and makes some tea.
Comes over and goes, bronze eagle,
take a seat.
- What's in your butt?
- I'm good.
- No.
- You see he says, I've found
a very old granite pentacle moss-covered,
the circle is not part of it,
so it's just a five-pointed star.
- So the texture of granite and moss
and it's a pointed star?
- I've developed quite
a thick interior hide.
- So you showered before all this?
- You think I'm gonna
put an incredibly potent
religious relic in my as*h*le
without being cleaned up first?
- You're right that is the respectful—
- Anyway, it's good to hear—
- You see he looks and
takes out a little notebook
and seems to write some notes
in it, puts it down and says,
I know about the eagle,
the Sardinian Eagle.
- Yeah.
- When you gave me that
talk I actually discovered
that I'm more magical
than I originally thought.
I have the power to basically identify
these magical objects.
- Could you stick this crown up your a*s?
I take my rat crown out.
- Spiky f*cking crown.
He takes it and says, yeah I'll
need about a day and a half.
- Also, wait, real quick.
What is that?
- Hmm?
- This man, what is this man?
- He's a rat, he's a rat man.
- Oh you see this rat man.
- After you gave me that talk,
because I was finding
these weird artifacts
and I was seeing things
out of the corner of my eye
and stuff like that, but yeah.
- So you have the ability to cast
the identify spell with your rectum?
- It's about the size
and shape of it, yeah.
- I actually don't want to
think about size or shape,
when we're talking about—
- The important thing is this,
I already sold the Sardinian Eagle.
- No.
- To who?
- I sold it to a collector.
You see he, hold on one second.
- I think I know who he sold it to.
- Yeah.
- You're k*lling me
Lowell, you're k*lling me.
- You see he goes—
- Share.
- He says, I sold it to
an elemental named Buddy.
- Oh.
- No.
- The sh*t guy.
- No you didn't.
Okay Lowell.
- Which guy?
- Buddy Buddy.
- Make a history check for me.
- Nat 20.
- Wow.
- Nice.
- You have a text on your phone from Willy
about the card game tomorrow night.
He sent you a list of
who all's gonna be there.
Buddy is gonna be at that card game.
- Alright, fantastic.
Well I know where to find Buddy.
But Lowell, it's good to
see you doing well man
and really nice place,
it was good to drop by
good to see you.
- Good to see you too,
my life is turned around
and you're a decent man.
Enjoy the tea, take a look
at any of the wonders.
Ooh let me show you this.
You see he reaches up onto his shelf
and takes a full Russian Czar's minx coat
and says, this is actually
something very interesting
maybe for you Kugrash.
Do you wanna go ahead,
and you see he hands
it out for you to handle.
- Yeah.
- That took a long time.
That was a while.
- Sleeve by sleeve.
- But he said, but you
probably don't get that cold,
even though you sleep in the sewers.
It's not that magical I just thought
you might want a warm coat.
- Yeah, yeah, sure thanks, appreciate it.
Just put on this a*s jacket.
What do you think Kingston?
- I mean—
- Hey guys, I'm like cuddling.
- I think it's cool.
- Get off of me!
- You smell better now honestly.
- He says, can we not be children,
everything gets washed.
- Yeah, of course it does.
- I smell like lube now instead of trash.
- I think in that way it is an upgrade.
- Wonderful.
So you know where Buddy's gonna be.
- I think I'm actually
gonna need that crown,
so I'll keep it for now but
we'll link up at some point.
- Hey, gotcha back Kugrash.
- Appreciate it.
- You guys, thanks for
coming by, have a great one.
Oh no, oh no, no, no, we're good.
You see that you guys head out.
The next day, you guys wake
up in your various places,
some belated gifts
with a little note on them that says,
sorry I couldn't get it
in time for Christmas,
arrived to some of you guys.
Kugrash, your apartment with Wally,
you find a lovely little watch,
a f*cking dope Rolex.
- Whoa.
- Which you haven't had
since your businessman days,
appears in a little
Christmas gift for you.
- Hell yeah.
- Hey, ah that's sick.
- Kingston, we already
know what your gifts were.
Rowan, you actually probably
have to crash somewhere
else that night because
Rowan doesn't have the thing,
but you swing by your
lawyers office the next day,
deal with all of your inheritance,
and you arrive at a freshly
cleaned and wonderful penthouse
and a little Christmas
gift is waiting for you.
- You know Long Island City
is the new place to be living.
- It has a Tiffany's wrapping on it
and you feel it has a
similar arcane energy
to Titania's shoes on it.
This beautiful silver necklace.
- Do I still get irresistible dance.
- You do not get
irresistible dance with it.
- Be gone irresistible
dance, I resist you.
- Ricky, you wake up at your home
and see a giant bow on top
and Ox in the passenger seat
a fire engine red Maserati.
- Why was I even trying
to help you get laid?
- Because Esther's definitely
gonna be impressed by a car.
- The suicide doors open up.
- You see Ox goes, woof,
woof, wow, what a cool car.
- This is dope as hell.
- And Sofia, you wake up in the chantry,
next to you all packaged up
are a pair of red Louboutins.
- Oh my God, are they real?
I bite it.
- You bite it?
- Bite it like an old f*cking prospector.
Cool.
So the next day's happening.
You know where you're gonna see Buddy.
So that day, let's just
go around real quick
and see what y'all do that day.
Sofia, you wake up in the chantry.
These awesome red Louboutins and—
- I think, oh.
- Oh yeah, what are you gonna do?
- Well, I was thinking maybe I would just
do some Krav Maga.
Just keep fresh.
- Yeah, there's plenty of room,
there's some dojo spaces
within the chantry
for the wizards to practice.
You practice for a while.
Your Louboutins allow you
to spring huge distances,
incredible distances.
After a little while you
see that Esther walks in.
- You wanna spar?
- You see she says, sure
I'll spar a little bit.
Go ahead and just give
me an athletics check.
You gotta beat a 20.
- I did, 23.
- You see that Esther is pretty cool
as a martial wizard caster.
She takes out her bat, blocks
and returns with the bat
and does a lot of stuff to
throw obstacles and wards
she's very good at putting
these tensor floating shields around.
- This is like the perfect
sparring partner for me.
- It's awesome.
Esther's like, I can't believe
that it's taken us this long
to hang out, It's been a crazy month but.
- I know, well honestly I was
kinda going through something
and then I came towards
some sort of closure
and it just feels, when you
were nice to me in that fight
it just felt really nice
to feel like someone
wanted to be my friend
and that meant a lot.
- You see that she smiles and says,
this is a hard city and I
don't think you can get through
without having some pals.
Wanna get that coffee?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
You guys head out to go get that coffee.
Kugrash, we're actually gonna
cut over to you real quick.
What do you do, you wake
in Wally's that next day,
Dad is there.
- Dad the dog.
The game is tonight right?
- Yes.
- The poker game?
Okay.
I wanna have a little talk with Wally
around the breakfast table.
What do we have for breakfast?
Cheese?
- String cheese and hotdogs.
- String cheese
so their breakfast is
string cheese and hotdogs.
Hey Wally, so before you
and I started hanging out,
who were you hanging out with around here?
- My friends at work.
- Your friends at work, cool.
Generally, kinda happy guy?
How are you holding up Wally,
do you ever get lonely out here or?
- Yeah, I guess sometimes.
You know it's hard.
It's hard to meet people sometimes too,
I work for the MTA and I tried to make one
of those OkCupid's but it's hard
because it's hard to meet people sometimes
and I got like a busy schedule and stuff.
And I ask David for help with it
but me and David don't
get along sometimes.
Why don't you and David get along?
- You see that he looks
at his phone and says,
he's actually on the way over today,
he yells at me a lot, he worries about me
because I live by myself
and he worries because he
thinks I shouldn't have two dogs
because he thinks I'm not gonna be able
to take care of them both.
- But you have a job,
you can do it, you can.
- No, I know, I think he just
thinks I'm a little dumb.
- Oh, you're not dumb Wally.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, you're a good guy.
Do you want to, this
OkCupid stuffs confusing,
I've heard a little bit about it,
I haven't really used a
computer since the '80s
but maybe you and I can
figure it out together.
- Yeah, you wanna do that?
- Yeah, let's figure it out,
I don't know what the
f*ck going on either.
- He pops the laptop open,
give me a flat charisma check
to try and help him
make an OkCupid profile.
- I'd like to really
focus on non-flashy stuff,
he has a job, he's a good guy.
- Cool, so he says, okay
job, work for the MTA.
Interests.
- You like movies.
- Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Hard 3.
- We don't have to get that into it,
why don't you say you like action movies.
- Action movies.
- Movies in general.
- Movies in general.
- Maybe delete movies in general
get rid of movies in general.
We like the Lion King.
- The Lion King!
Hobbies, Mufasa, Simba.
- Wally, those aren't
hobbies, those are characters.
- No, because they're like hobby.
- Discussing films.
- Disgusting, I don't like them.
I only like it when it's nice.
- Wally, let me type.
Discussing films.
- Oh, put down falling
in love with a lady.
- Falling in love with a lady.
Looking for something serious, let's put
that in the appropriate section.
- What like, serious, like not funny?
I like jokes.
- I know you like jokes.
- Put joke books.
- You know how David has
a serious relationship?
- Yeah, he's not fun at all.
- He's not fun at all.
I started laughing hysterically,
David's a f*cking ball buster,
he should be, I ruined his life but.
- You hear a bang bang bang on the door
as you say that.
- Oh God.
- You see Wally gets
up and opens the door.
David comes in.
David has an immediate
haggard look, he goes,
hey Wally, how's it going,
got you some bagels and some food
and I got you some cleaning
stuff and paper towels.
Wally says, oh yeah, I forgot that stuff.
Are you wild shaped right now or no?
- Oh God, he's probably gonna like think
I'm a giant rat and try to k*ll me
if I don't say something.
Yes, I'll wild shape into a dog.
Roll initiative for me.
- 13.
- David spots you before you can change.
He goes, oh Jesus Christ,
Wally, what the f*ck.
You got a f*cking rat in the
middle of your f*cking house.
- He doesn't have a rat.
I cast dispel magic on
myself to try to break the—
- Umbral Arcana.
Yeah, I'm gonna say third level or lower.
You appear to David.
He goes.
- David, it's okay.
Okay, this is a lot to unpack here.
But I'm sorta a shaman type deal.
I can do magic, let me
just, magic is real.
Do like a couple of cantrips,
just right off the bat.
I'm not a rat.
I am your father.
I didn't run away.
I was cursed by a witch.
Who turned me into a rat.
You know I'm a rat, you're a ball buster,
you can kinda believe that right.
Magic is real, I show him like my—
- You see Wally goes, also
I don't have two dogs.
One of my dogs was dad who's a rat,
and he's not Jesus.
David goes catatonic, he passes out.
As he comes to he's in a fugue state.
- I have the Bagel of All Things,
it kinda lets me do divination.
I wanna try to help give
him some kind of connection
to this other world.
I wanna just pop off a
couple of poppy seeds
in his mouth while he's knocked out.
He takes it, his pupils dilate so much
that they disappear and he only has iris'.
So his hazel eyes have no pupil,
he's just dazing straight ahead,
whole universes are appearing to him.
Wally goes, that's a good bagel.
After a few minutes you can
start pick up explaining
and he needs you to repeat
things over and over again.
- Right.
I think I also bring up
I know some real people
saw the bugs thing so if
there's any conspiracy websites
or something I'm like
here's proof that it exists.
- After a while, he's got
like a blanket around him,
he goes, okay.
So you lied, you lied,
because you did run away.
- I did, yes.
I did it, I know you think I
ran away to a tropical island
and that my life ruled or something
but I'm a rat and my life
sucked until very recently
when I moved in with Wally here.
- You see Wally goes, yeah,
it's better now he's with me.
You see David goes,
shut the f*ck up Wally.
So what is it you've been doing
for the past 20 years, 30 years.
- Well, for the first
few years I pretty much
just hid out in the subway
tunnels feeling sorry for myself
and blaming the person who cursed me.
But after a while it
gave me some perspective
and in the end I wish had been the type
of person who was naturally empathetic
but I had to have
something bad happen to me
before I could learn to help other people.
- And are you still helping other people?
- I'm trying to yeah.
- Here's a question for you Murph,
has Kugrash been tending to his duties
with the homeless since
he's been with Wally?
- Probably less so.
- Probably less so, cool.
I think that you have a very high wisdom,
I think it probably occurs to Kugrash that
that is the truth.
You see that David looks and goes,
alright, okay, magic's real,
everything I know's wrong.
- David, do you know Robert Moses?
- Yeah, pawnbroker?
Yeah I know him.
- Yeah.
I'm actually going after him at the moment
because part of the bad
side of all this magic
is being controlled by him.
- So you're asking me for a favor.
- I would like to help you if I can.
Honestly David, the reason
I came to Wally first
is because I think Wally needs me,
Wally likes having me around.
But if you want me around,
I'd like to have a relationship with you
but I don't wanna be selfish about it,
don't do it for me.
But I'd like to, I don't
want a favor from you
I wanna work with you.
- He looks at you and says,
if Wally needs you he can have you.
- Alright, you don't have to
forgive me but I am very sorry.
- I don't have to forgive you?
I don't have to forgive you.
Well it's nice to hear,
that's nice to hear.
There was a time in my
life when I needed you.
That time's gone and for you
to waltz back into my life now
as a rat wearing a cape,
I don't give a f*ck.
I don't give a f*ck.
I don't think that you'd
be talking to me or Wally
if it didn't help you.
Have a nice rest of your
life you f*cking rat.
And you see David walks
out of the apartment.
Wally's just crying.
He looks over and says,
David's a J-E-R-K sometimes.
I'm sorry Dad.
- You spelled it correctly,
J-E-R-K you said?
- Yeah.
- That's good.
- He's a real jork.
- You got it wrong in a different way
than I thought you might.
No he's not.
Look Wally, you're just exceptionally,
you're doing me a favor
that you don't need to do
and David is within his rights to be mad
and that's okay for him too.
- Wally nods, yeah I think
Kug you actually feel
that it has been like Christmas
and there's probably some homeless
and people that need
tending to out in the world.
Wally says, I'm gonna talk to David.
It's probably a lot for him,
I have a hard time
understanding everything right
when someone tells me and
probably David's the same way.
- Yeah, cool.
Wally you go talk to your brother,
I got some things I gotta do.
- Kugrash you go hit the cold streets,
tending to people that need food and care.
Going back to your duties as a caretaker
of the dispossessed.
Sofia, you Esther get together
in a little coffee shop.
It's lovely.
You see that Em shows
up outside and waves.
Huge statue angel comes in and goes,
oh my God, I'm happy to chip in,
I gotta pay in quarters and pennies
and things that people
throw in the fountain.
- That's so off-putting
let me just get this.
- So you see Esther sits down with you
and goes, yeah, Soph thank you
so much for suggesting this.
It feels nice to have
someone that's just a friend,
someone that's not gonna be
talking to me about arcana
and wizardry and yada yada yada.
Nice to have someone just
to bond with as a pal.
- Yeah.
- How are you holding up?
And you see that she just
very tenderly reaches out
and puts a hand on your arm,
as like you're going
through a lotta stuff.
- Yeah, think I'm blushing.
Ricky she touched me.
- I'm not here.
- I'm holding up.
I mourned him leaving me,
now I'm mourning his death.
I don't know, I guess maybe at least now
it feels like more closure.
And I burned my house down.
- You are f*cking wild.
- What can I say?
And honestly it kinda felt
good to get rid of that.
And just close the door
and I don't even know
what my f*cking future is
but it's whatever right now.
- Esther's eyes goes wide and she says,
yeah the future is whatever.
Make an insight—
- Why, what's going on with, oh.
- Yeah, make a little insight check.
- 15.
- You see her eyes kinda
go wide as she looks out
and she says, yeah, what
do you think about Ricky?
- Oh.
I think he's just the greatest guy ever,
any girl will be so lucky to have him.
- You see Em goes, oh my God
you're like looking out
like you're performing
for a packed theater.
- No, I'm not!
I'm doing a good job.
- You see that Esther laughs and goes,
I took Ricky to see my mum and grandma
at the holiday.
- Family in the holidays.
- Em says, you're not even dating
this feels fast to me,
family and Christmas.
You see she says, no not like that.
My family's been cursed for
most of the history of New York.
I am meant to become
the third of the furies
of Tompkins Square Park.
We, not we, not ma'am.
I found Alejandro because
I wanted to study magic
to find a way to break this curse
and the truth is that I
don't need to study magic,
I am magic, but the part of
me that is an alien magic
I've never tapped into because
once I do I can't go back.
- Oh my God.
But if we could remove this curse
then you would have
access to a whole wealth
of no longer cursed energy.
- Yeah.
- Who cursed your family.
- Powerful spirits a long time ago.
Back early 1800s.
It goes in order,
my mother is the current fury of rage,
my grandmother is the fury of despair
and my mother,
Kugrash, you're walking down the street
and going from garbage to
garbage and finding people.
You come outside of this coffee shop
and overhear this conversation happening.
See, she says,
we change into the furies
if we ever experience our
emotion powerfully enough.
My mum wanted a better life for us
and she tried to leave
The Unsleeping City.
She swore off magic.
She entered the Waking World.
She became a businesswoman
and she started a financial company,
basically a hedge fund with
this rat b*stard piece of sh*t
who sold her out and
destroyed their company
to profit himself and it ruined her
and she fell to her curse.
She reached in for that
magic and I lost her.
And you see she looks
like she's about to cry
and then quickly a little
cantrip ticks on herself
and she gets it back.
- I reciprocate the tender touch.
- She's like, oof I think I need
to be more careful talking about this
because of my curse.
- Would you say that's
why romantically you have
to hold yourself back?
- You see she says, my curse is sorrow
and sadness, psychologically speaking,
is the experience of loss.
And so I've studied magic to
find a way to break the curse
and I've lived my life
under the presupposition
that you can never feel sadness
if you never have anything to lose.
- I'm honestly not the
girl to be talking about
this right now because
I am currently trying
to follow your path a
bit, if I'm being honest.
But we're gonna find a way
to get rid of that curse.
- You see she smiles and says—
- You've got Sofie, you got Sofie Bikes,
aka Sofie Le, no longer Sofie Bikes,
I have disowned my family,
Sofie Le on the case.
- You see that she smiles and says,
well sh*t, that's been my
hold up this whole time
now it's all engines go.
She smiles, she says, cool,
well if we keep talking
about this sad sh*t
I'm gonna turn into a literal monster
so let's not.
You and Em and Esther have a lovely time
and Kugrash you hear all
that out in the street.
- I just go to sleep in the trash.
- Cool.
Kingston, it's card night over at Willy's.
- Oh finally.
- Obviously you guys have been hanging out
for weeks and days and stuff,
who all would show up to the card game.
- I would definitely.
I would definitely be a gambling—
- I feel like I definitely would.
- Sofie, hell yeah.
Sofie, Pete, Kingston, cool.
- Yeah.
- I know it's gonna come down to roles
but I feel like Sofie would
be really good at cards.
- I think Ricky will go just
to see what a card game is like.
- Ricky will be—
- Rowan's definitely going, strip poker.
We mean strip poker right.
- What?
No! What?
- So you guys go over,
Willy being made of brick
actually has a very nice apartment—
- Can I actually, I have a
spell called Conjure Elemental
that I really want to use but
it's a casting time one minute
can I bring a plus one elemental too
because I can't do it in—
- What kind of elemental
would you like to bring?
- Oh man, I guess.
Kingston what do you think
would be most appropriate?
- Like for Willy's place?
I don't know, something
earth maybe, something stone,
cement, that's kind of his vibe so.
- I find some dirt and rocks.
- Cool, you create a big earth elemental
out of stones and earth from one
of those tree planter places.
You guys head to Willy's in Brook,
opens up, he's got some
very old phonograph playing,
got some great jazz, little of
like klezmer notes in there.
You see he goes, Kingston Brown
finally we see what the game can—
- I know it's been a while
and I've brought all my friends.
- Oh you see he goes, oh come in
we've set up two tables.
- Right.
- I bring in two six packs of PBR
because when in William's
that's what you drink.
- Exactly you bring some PBR.
You see Willy has like snacks laid out.
It's like got a very old world,
there's like cigars and ashtrays
and chips on the felt tables.
- Ricky did you just bring
boiled chicken in a Tupperware?
- It's a party, right?
- Gross man.
- So healthy.
- Willy sets up some tables and says,
you gonna take all of our money again?
- Okay, alright, well let's not start
from that place alright?
Everybody can win no?
You see that he says, go on take a seat.
He looks over at the earth
elemental that you've brought
and goes, well hello, hello, hello there.
Oh my name is Willy.
Pleasure to meet you enchanté.
The elemental kind of like.
- Can I give him just a hard elbow,
like I actually need to put force into.
- So you go boom, brick into his body
and you see he goes,
what, do you see what I see?
- Okay, I thought you were
about the Statue of Liberty.
- Oh listen that's on a back burner,
I'm playing the long game.
- Oh the long, alright Willy.
- You see he goes,
this woman, she's something else.
You see that, you guys sit around.
At the table there's a
couple of people here,
you see Buddy the sh*t elemental is there,
he sits next to you Kugrash.
I'm needing a lawyer,
I don't know about you.
- Yeah, I'm sorry, I was tied up.
- No worries.
You see Willy says, okay we start to play.
Anyone at anytime can feel
free here's the Febreze,
you can just hit the body with
that if the smell gets too much.
There's other people here.
You see that there's a stained glass saint
from a church.
Looks like he's jumped out
of a window just going,
f*cking I can't get anymore into the house
I've lost so much f*cking money here.
And you see that also,
they're at a nearby table,
Willy says, you remember
Green and Red right?
And you see there is a
little green stick figure
made of light and a red hand
both sitting in a chair.
And you see they both go,
hi how's you, Kingston good to see you.
- Good to see you Green,
good to see you Red.
- You see that Green looks up and says,
by the way, we're not doing
tournament style tonight
because I actually have to
head out a little bit early.
You see the hand says,
you're leaving early?
What the f*ck, I thought we were staying,
can you not stay for longer?
And you see that Green
goes, I've gotta jet,
I'm sorry I've gotta be somewhere.
You see that—
- Brennan.
- You see that
you gotta forgive me.
- I love it.
- Cool.
You guys start to play
some hands of poker.
Go ahead everyone and just make a
I'm gonna say this as just
a flat intelligence check.
- Oh no.
- Oh no.
Oh dear.
- I got a four.
- A four, cool.
- I got a nat one.
- Three.
- Six.
- Six.
- f*cking six.
- Nine.
- Wow, we're getting taken.
- You guys are getting—
- Ricky.
- Is this worth using a luck point?
- Can I—
- Let's wait till the stakes are up.
- Do some real fun card tricks though
while we're playing and him
having all of my money stolen.
- Yes you do some very fun,
you're great at dealing.
- Willy is cleaning out.
You see Willy has this big cigar
and you see it has to work really hard.
He vents the cigar smoke
out of swiveling bricks
out the side of his chest.
He goes, you see poker is
not only a game of chance
it's a game of skill.
You're playing the predator not the cards.
- True.
- Buddy is looking hurt.
He coughs a bunch of sh*t covered coins
up onto the table.
You see that Willy polishes
and cleans them off
to put them into the center pot.
Another hand comes around.
Are any of you going to
use any magic or abilities
on this card game?
- I will absolutely do deception
based performance checks
since we're playing poker.
- Yeah, you can go ahead
and make a bluff check
go ahead and give me a
deception role on the next one.
- Can I cast Enhance Abilities on myself
to give myself advantage
on intelligence checks?
- Yes, absolutely.
- I'm going to, I know
Kugrash doesn't have
the best luck and Ricky's a lot luckier
so I'm like, ah I'm out, I'm
gonna go sit with the kid.
And I put my hand on Ricky's shoulder
and I cast Guidance a cantrip.
- I'm just gonna also cast Minor Illusion
to make my breasts slightly bigger.
- So you can roll a d4 and add it to—
- So stupid.
- an ability check.
- Okay.
- Green looks over and you as you do that
and quickly looks away.
And you see that Red turns over and goes,
wow, really, okay.
- Things look really bad between them
but I don't have the
heart to say anything.
It's like really bad and we can all see it
but it's like we're
friends with both of them
so I don't know which one I can talk to.
- I'm just gonna play this straight up
because I have a ton of
money from selling a lot
of my cocaine to children today.
It was a rough day.
- Cool.
- Can I cast Unseen Servant
and have them go round
and write down what other people have?
- Yes, you can.
Go ahead and give me your guys rolls.
- Just one more roll?
- One more roll.
- Four.
- Seven.
- Oh my God, on advantage
I rolled a one and a three.
- 21.
- I rolled a 12, maybe I'll
just use a luck point on this,
it just—
- Yeah go for it.
- Go for it.
- Yeah go for it.
- Don't you get something with Guidance?
- Yeah he got a d4 he added it.
- Cool, go ahead and roll.
- That's a 20, not nat.
- Ricky, you go in and
clear a bunch of people out
of the round early on before the flop.
- I have huge sunglasses on.
- Where did you get those dude?
- Found them.
- Kingston, it ends up just you and Buddy
before the river.
Buddy's still in and you're still in.
You have a bigger stuck
than Buddy right now.
Buddy goes, all in.
- Now Buddy buddy, that won't do.
You gonna have to match all of this,
I push mine in.
- He goes, oh, it's
gonna be like that is it?
- Yeah, hey you're the one who called.
- You see he goes, looks around,
see sweats of little weird poop oil.
- Eugh, no.
- Buddy I know that you're
a collector aren't you?
- Yeah, a collector.
- Okay, why don't you put
one of those on the table?
- Go ahead and make a persuasion check.
- Great, persuasion, there it is
and I have advantage on me, thank God.
That's gonna be six plus seven, so 13.
- 13.
You see he goes,
and a bronze
eagle thumps into the table.
- Now that feels right doesn't it?
Doesn't that feel right?
- Do you even want that man?
It looks like sh*t.
- You see he says—
- Come on!
- This thing is a piece of sh*t,
you're a collector right?
- Oh, I am a piece of sh*t.
- Can I do an insight check on Buddy
to see if he's playing straight?
- Yeah, make an insight check.
- I also wanna send my unseen servant
to spy on Buddy's hand.
- 16.
- 16.
Oh, 16, you think he's playing straight.
He coughs the eagle up.
Kingston, what kind of cards do you think
Kingston's holding?
- Pretty good but not like a definite,
it's like you know.
- So you throw down a ten,
king, suited of hearts.
- You see that Buddy
throws down pocket aces
and there's already an ace on the board.
He goes, looks like some bad luck.
You see Willy turns over the last card
and it comes up jack of hearts.
- Oh I'm sorry Buddy, I'm so sorry.
- No, you're kidding me!
- You know you've been
having a rough month
and I hate to do it to you
but that's the game Buddy.
That's the game Buddy.
Now somebody give me a damn hose
so I can clean this eagle off.
- You see that
Willy laughs and claps.
He gives you a cigar
and lights it for you.
- Alright now, you know
I can't be smoking this.
Come on.
- He goes—
- I'll smoke it.
- Wonderful.
You've got your bronze eagle.
- Wanna share it?
- Great.
You clean out at the poker game.
Esther grabs the eagle from
you after the poker game
and says, great I'm gonna get
to work on this right now,
this should be able to find Moses for us.
Well you should be able to get Robert.
- Oh, right, now I get it.
- Damn, Pete.
- He was ugly as f*ck.
- Okay.
- It was like a dodgy eagle
statue, I was shocked.
- It is the morning, Esther goes to work
on getting the eagle functional.
It is the morning of December 31st.
You—
- 9 a.m.
- I'm making deliveries all day.
- Okay.
Just f*cking hustling.
So you guys are all, you're
probably like with Jackson
and doing stuff and Esther also comes
and checks out the monastery as well.
- Oh sweet, do you wanna
go get our New Year's Eve dresses after?
- You see she nods and
says, that'll be great.
- Or pantsuits.
- I don't necessarily, yeah,
I'm more of a pants person,
I don't really rock a dress.
- I'm honestly these days, yeah me too,
let's get pantsuits.
- You see that, Pete
you're making deliveries.
Kugrash what are you
getting up to on New Years?
- What am I doing on New Years?
Seeing Wally, Wally what are you doing?
- Wally's working, he's
working at the MTA.
He says he can take you round the trains
and show you his job.
- Yeah, follow Wally around.
- Cute.
- Rowan, Alissa shows up
New Year's Day and says,
hi, are you Miss Berry?
- I am, you must be Alissa.
- I am, I'm just here
to drop off some stuff
from the late Miss Moore.
- Oh that's so nice of you.
Do you think you could
go to the DMV for me,
is that how that works?
- You see she looks and says,
well I—
- As a last favor, I'm sure
Misty would have wanted that.
- You see that she looks and says,
sure, I'm unemployed at
the moment so I have time.
- Oh, great.
Oh, I mean oh no.
Wow.
- She's such a bad f*cking person.
- You've got a bunch of f*cking
cartel cocaine in your bag.
- You're selling drugs to children.
- I'm selling drugs to literal children
and still you are a bad person
and I should not like you.
- Incredible.
Yeah, she agrees to go
run to the DMV for you.
- Oh and before you go,
who was it that told you
to put the mirror on the stage.
- One of the benefactors of the theater
it was from the Robert Moses foundation.
- Of course it was, oh
dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Alissa I can offer you a job,
but just so you know if anything like
that ever happens again.
- You see she says, oh
I learned my mistake
it will never happen-
- Never again.
- Aren't you younger now than Alissa.
I can offer you a job.
- Money's money.
- Ricky, what are you getting up to.
- You're a nightmare.
- It's 31st.
I guess Ricky's at the fire station just—
- Doing his thing.
You see the questing blade says,
sire this new Maserati is extremely dope.
What swagger in this vehicle?
- What's wagger in the vehicle?
- No I'm saying, what swagger
as in remarking upon the swagger.
- Oh yes, it is full of swagger.
I feel honestly terrible for driving it.
- Kingston, that morning
Claude actually asks
if you can take your niece and nephews.
They have a project over the holiday,
he's working but they need
to do a report on the Met
and so they need to go to the Met
and be shown around basically.
Yeah, let's do it
You go to the Met you're walking around,
the nieces and nephews are having a ball.
You see that your niece looks up, Eliza,
and she goes, Uncle Kingston,
we had such a fun time over Christmas.
Pete, how long is Pete
gonna be staying with you?
- Well Pete's in between, I guess,
places in his life right now,
which is something that adults do
and so until he figures himself out
he'll probably be crashing with me.
- Nods, you see that
Jamil and Cooper both go,
oh look at this!
And they run off towards
the Temple of Dendur.
- Okay, no running, no running,
especially towards that thing.
- You look and you see
there's a bunch of kids
and families in here.
You're kinda looking around,
this is where you had
your climatic battle all those years ago,
where the mummy of the
Met said those words
so long ago.
You hear a voice next to you go,
hiya, I love places like this,
where you see a little bit of old history.
And you see Robert standing beside you
as your niece and nephews
run around, he goes,
good looking kids, not yours of course.
But, you know what I mean.
- What do you want Mr Moses?
- Well I thought I'd
take in the museum here
on this special occasion.
Rocks popular, it has a rough gig.
- I said what do you want Mr Moses?
- You see he says, I'd
thought I'd come talk to you
because you're the reasonable
one of your companions.
- Fine, then speak on it.
- Things are gonna change in this place.
This city's gonna change.
I know that you are
gonna down with the ship.
I know that about you.
You love these people, the
Populi of which you are the Vox
but there's a version of
New York without them.
these people were here
and this city was still New York
and 150 years from now they'll be gone
and it'll still be the
bricks, the buildings,
and the roads.
I know that you value people over things
and that's not a delusion
that I'm here to cure you of.
However, if they don't leave,
I'm gonna k*ll the kid.
I'm gonna k*ll Sofia.
I'm gonna k*ll Ricky.
I'm gonna k*ll young Miss Berry
and your little rat friend too.
- You said leave, what do you mean?
- I mean leave New York.
I am not presuming to ask
you to abandon your position
but none of those people
need to suffer the fate
that awaits them if they
try to get in my way.
- Well I hate to say Mr Moses,
but they're all free-thinking adults
who can make their own choices.
As is every person in this city.
Well not every person, but every adult.
- You see he says, you
think people make choices?
- I do.
- No.
People think they make choices.
They think they're gonna
steer right or steer left
but they didn't build the roads.
The big choices already got made
for them a long time ago.
- Well Mr Moses how about this?
How about you have a choice, right now.
Where you can leave this city.
You can walk away.
And I will not come for you.
You can choose to stay here.
You can choose to continue
on this course of action
and me and my friends
can choose to stop you.
Clean and simple.
And that's much easier than
me trying to get the five
of them to go one way or another.
- He nods.
It's your message to give as you wish.
You have a pleasant day.
- Take care.
- Give my regards to Liz.
- You said, can I slap him?
- Yes.
Make an attack role.
- Great.
Just plus strength?
- Strength and proficiently yeah.
- That's gonna be a 19.
- You front hand, pow!
And leave a singed hand mark
of ash on the side of his face.
You see he goes, check
your phone Mr Brown.
And he walks away.
Your phone blips, it's
a text from Emiko saying
need you at the hospital.
- Hey kids, I'm sorry I
know you're having fun here
at the museum but we have to go.
- You head out, normally
you would I imagine
escort them all the way back home
but Eliza's old enough that
she can take Jamil and Cooper
back to the place, she knows
and she looks up at you
and you see a little flash
of something that was
in your eye as a child
as she goes, okay sir, I can do it.
I'll take care of it.
- Thank you so much Eliza.
- She takes off, you rush to St. Owen's.
You arrive at the intensive care unit.
You see Liz in traction on life support.
Black and blue, unconscious,
breathing extremely shallow.
And you can see bits of Umbral Arcana
off some of the wounds that are
clearly claw and fang marks.
- Emiko who brought her in?
What's going on?
- 911 picked her up, she
was in the neighborhood
with family, she got jumped in the street.
We didn't get a
description of the attacker
she came in like this.
Police are investigating right now
but it looks like they tried to k*ll her.
We're trying to keep her
alive as much as we can
but her lungs are filling up with blood.
- Can I do a medicine check—
- Yes.
- Like to see, what is possible,
what can I possibly do.
That's gonna be 27.
- Jesus.
Kingston you immediately go, you see
that you can heal the broken stuff
the stuff that's most
immediately medically
you like start going to work.
You see that other doctors
know your history with Liz
and everyone is like, you're
not supposed to be doing this
and they're looking.
You see the head medical guy,
Dr. Simms comes over and says
Nurse Brown I'm gonna
need you to step away.
- Hey, I'm sorry, that's not gonna happen.
That's not gonna happen.
- This hospital we have—
- I'm sorry, no you need
to step back friend.
You really do.
- You see that he looks
and your voice reverberates
through the hospital and
although he can't tell
it's happening is just
like moved out of the room.
You take her to a point
where she is not stable
but no longer in critical condition.
There is some piece of
necrotic un-death magic
that is worming it's way from her injuries
slowly towards her heart.
With a 27 medicine, probably
like a few hours away.
Maybe like eight or nine hours away.
- Would something like Death
Ward or Greater Restoration
do something for this, or?
- Yeah, potentially.
- You're not sure, it
might be something bigger
like a break curse or something like that.
Greater Restoration might do it.
But you're not sure because this thing
is like a tangled little piece of magic
and it appears that someones like
actively concentrating
on it from a distance.
- Can I text the group
and say hi, I feel like
somebody is trying to attack me.
They have attacked my ex-wife,
and just a little bit about there seems
to be some kind of spell that
somebody's concentrating on
somewhere else in the city.
I don't know what to do.
- Where are you?
- I am at St. Owen's.
- I fly there on a Maserati.
Peeling through traffic.
- [imitating types
screeching] You arrive up,
yet your sister is there, she says—
- Firefighter on duty, let me—
- Ricky what the hell are you doing?
Where did you get a Maserati?
- No time to explain, where is Kingston?
- You rush through to find Kingston.
- Please park my Maserati.
- What?
I'm on-call!
I'm here at work.
- Whatever.
- I think I take like a Bird scooter
as fast as I can from wherever I am.
It's really not going that fast
but I'm like, kick start.
I'm mindlinking and I'm like,
I'm coming man do you want
any food or soup broth?
- I don't need—
- I'm bringing you broth.
- I'll run into the room
wherever Kingston is.
- I'm gonna gypsy cab over there just like
I having lived in New
York for such a long time
I can just spot from a 1000 yards away
the fastest most crazy driver out there.
- You're like, you have one eye—
- Follow that cab, I mean
it's not actually what—
- A guy pulls over and goes, hi.
- Hi.
- I'm the cab driver of this car.
- Yes you are, we're
going to the hospital.
- We're gonna take the river.
You see as he peels off
you peel out of there.
You guys arrive in the room with Kingston
as you get there a message
appears from Esther.
You also get messages
from some of you saying
shits going down in a story,
you get a message from Ana and Emilia
someones attacking the old bodega.
You get another message,
you see Esther appears
in your small nurse's office.
And it's her literally
flying through the streets
as a vid screen of magic gets her face.
You see she says, they're
attacking the library.
I just got word from Alejandro listen,
the eagle, the eagle got back to me.
There's a spell happening
tonight at the stock exchange.
That's where Moses is gonna
be, that's where he is.
- Okay, I'm gonna go immediately that way.
- Before I leave I'm going to touch Liz
and cast Remove Curse on her.
- Awesome.
You cast Remove Curse.
Go ahead and give me
a flat medicine check.
This is a powerful curse,
Remove Curse is going
to have a chance to get rid of it
but I want you to roll
just a flat medicine check.
- I'm gonna cast Guidance on him.
- To add a d4.
- To add a d4.
- I also cast Guidance on him.
- Yes.
- And I'm gonna very flirtily
say Ricky we believe in you.
- Hold on.
- And give him body inspiration.
- So that's a d8.
- Yeah.
- Okay, all right.
- So d4's a d8 and a d20.
- 18 plus five, 23.
- 23.
You cast Remove Curse.
And you feel like the
questing blade shines bright
and you hear a voice in your ear
and you see a flash of
Yankee Stadium for a second
and have this sudden urge
to go to Yankee Stadium.
But it goes away for a second,
you just hear a voice saying like,
champion, holder of the questing blade.
And you see that Liz's heart beat settles
a little bit.
- Go to Yankee Stadium?
- It was a momentary blip of something
that doesn't necessarily feel urgent
but you just got a vision of
Yankee Stadium for some reason.
- I can't explain it but
I just saw Yankee Stadium.
- Do you guys think
there's any chance that
that wasn't really Esther
and we were getting—
- Like they're sending us to the—
- Can we text Esther, I'll
text Esther a selfie of,
nevermind, I don't do a selfie.
- I'm gonna use the Bagel of All Things
and ask New York where
the person, although,
I wanna know if we're being setup,
I think the stock exchange is
the place we wanna go anyway
but I'd like to ask if
that was really Esther.
- The Bagel confirms that it was Esther.
- Okay.
- Can I, is there anyway
to use Locate Creature
to see who it was that cast this spell.
Because if this happened
locally this person
is still pretty close probably.
- Potentially yeah, you
can cast Locate Creature.
- Okay.
- You get a faint sense
of them leaving the area
of your spell very briefly.
- I'll cast Divine Sense as well.
- On death, is the nature of the curse.
But the thing you detect
is a vampiric magic
and something fleeing.
- And they're going tough.
- That exact, yeah.
- Well, the vampires are at it.
- Let's go to this stock exchange.
- Can we just—
- I don't know what else to do.
- I'm trying to think
of what would happen at Yankee Stadium.
- I know.
- Wait, can we check her for bites.
- Yeah there was claws—
- She's been clawed.
- Claws and bites.
- Oh so there were bites.
- That's the other thing you see,
the reason this is so
complex is there's like
a trace of vampirism within.
- Yikes.
- What could happen at Yankee Stadium?
- So should we split up a little bit or?
- I think that's—
- I think Yankee Stadium might
be for another day maybe?
I don't know what you guys think?
- I mean I've always just
been a Met's girl myself, so.
- The Yankee's are trash.
- Maybe we could call the front
desk of the Yankee stadium
to see if there's a—
- Excuse me, is this Yankee Stadium?
- Okay, I'm on the phone.
- That blip, that disappears from you
after the moment you felt it.
It doesn't feel like a pressing
urgent thing within you.
It feels instead like
something that just occurred
for a moment and then went away.
- Maybe it means we should go
to a ball game, I don't know.
- Maybe, maybe it's the
curse of the bambino
but that's not here.
- What do you guys do?
- What's the level on Liz?
Because I'm not 100%
comfortable leaving right—
- That last thing where
you all joined forces
feels like she is partially stable.
- For now.
- For now.
That you at least have
until maybe like 12 hours.
She'll be good for a while,
she's gonna remain stable
for at least another—
- You said that you felt him going south.
- Yeah maybe we can text Em,
have her come have a look at her.
- Great.
- Watch over her, yeah.
- Yeah.
- That's great.
I wanna get there and I wanna get a look
at Robert Moses.
I wanna see, I wanna congregate.
- I wanna get to this New
York Stock Exchange area,
I wanna cast Jump on myself.
- Cool, you cast Jump.
- Oh wait, is that only a minute.
- I wanna conjure my elemental again,
when we get close because
it lasts for an hour.
- You conjure your elemental—
- Nevermind, I don't cast Jump.
But I do create an Unseen Servant.
- Can Misty ride in my Maserati
and get the benefits from that?
- Can't bump over 20.
- Okay, gotcha.
- Conjure Elemental.
- Do we see Robert Moses when
we got to the stock exchange?
- Hold on one sec guys.
Let me narrate what happens.
You guys get there.
There's an express Harlem to Wall Street.
You arrive, you rush up, you
go to the stock exchange.
Kugrash it's been a long
time since you've been here.
You walk in, it is about now,
after all the running around
and Liz and everything else,
it's about seven, eight o'clock at night,
which around this time of
year means it is pitch black.
You walk up, the doors open for Kingston,
even though they're usually
knocked at this time.
Nobody perceives you, all the guards
are looking the wrong way to
notice you guys walking in.
You get to the floor
of the stock exchange.
Kiosks everywhere with the
screens and the ticker.
Up in the balcony with the bell
you see Robert looking down at you.
Welcome.
I take it that Kingston's offer
was either not given or rejected.
- You son of a b*tch.
- You're going to hell.
- I'll k*ll you.
- I point at him too and cast True Strike.
- I cast True Strike also.
- Roll for initiative.
- Great.
- That's all for this week
on The Unsleeping City.
Tune in next week as the
battle of high finance
where the stakes and
stocks couldn't be higher.
- Oh God.
- Money, money, money.
- Money, money, money, money.
Later.
Money.
- Robert Moses is here concocting a ritual
on the floor of the New
York Stock Exchange.
- They're burning down.
- Those are vampires
piloting kiosk mechs.
- Incredible but I'm so mad.
- He reaches out and sucker
punches you in the stomach
and you are paralyzed.
- Are you enjoying this?
- Take it easy Miss Berry.
- You stupid mother f*ck.
You come for my family,
you come for my friend,
I will f*cking drop you.
- If you can make it here,
you can make it anywhere.
