1
00:00:14,410 --> 00:00:16,320
[music]
2
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,800
This isn't right,
3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,720
>> Alfred. The forest just went quiet.
4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,359
Something's here.
5
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:24,920
>> You have visual confirmation.
6
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:30,840
>> [music]
7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,040
>> Batman's [music] contingency plan.
8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,520
Gotham never stays quiet. When it does,
9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,879
it's because something has already
10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:41,520
started. 3 weeks without homicides, no
11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,239
bank robberies, no joker, no Riddler,
12
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:46,719
none of the usual spectacles. Alfred
13
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:48,239
brought me a clipping from the Gazette.
14
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:50,000
Teenage girl missing from a summer camp
15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,079
near Blair County on the New Jersey
16
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:54,719
border. Young face, smile frozen in a
17
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:56,160
Polaroid.
18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,719
The eighth victim in 17 years.
19
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,960
Geographic pattern. Always the same
20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,600
lake. Always from June to August. Always
21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,080
around the new moon. Local cops filed it
22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,680
as drownings. Bodies never found.
23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Witnesses talk of someone on the shore.
24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Figure in a mask. Movement in the water.
25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Reports dismissed as hysteria.
26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,119
But there's too much consistency.
27
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:24,080
Consistency is data. Data is the entry
28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,560
point. I arrived discreetly, no armor,
29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,520
no cape. I went as Bruce Wayne, scouting
30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,680
the land for a charity project.
31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,600
Abandoned gas station 3 mi from the
32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
lake. Broken windows, rusted pump,
33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,880
stench of mildew, and rotting wood. Back
34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,759
door forced open. Stains on the concrete
35
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:45,759
rust. No. Preliminary analysis. Degraded
36
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:48,799
hemoglobin about [music] 6 months old.
37
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:51,040
Drag marks consistent with a 60 kilo
38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,000
body. Ends at the treeine heading
39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,360
northeast toward the lake. Camp closed
40
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,240
for 15 years. Fence down. Bungalows
41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,399
crumbling. Wrong kind of silence. No
42
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:05,040
birds. No [music] insects. Heavy air.
43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Noticeable static electricity. At the
44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,840
center, the boat house. Rotting wooden
45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,400
structure on pilings. Half submerged.
46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Loose planks. Inside. An improvised
47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,080
altar. Not religious. Personal. Faded
48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,160
photo of a woman holding a child. Burned
49
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
out candle. Dead flowers around it.
50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120
Totems. Necklaces left by visitors.
51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Handwritten [music] notes. Please don't
52
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,720
hurt me. Sorry. I remember you. Fear as
53
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120
an offering. I scraped a wood sample.
54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Anomalous organic composition. Unknown
55
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,800
bofilm. Lake water alkaline pH. Traces
56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,599
of manganese. But something else.
57
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,000
Irregular electromagnetic resonance.
58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,519
Peak at 18 herz. Is infrasound frequency
59
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:49,760
that induces panic.
60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,959
natural. Unlikely at that intensity.
61
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:55,120
Back in the Batcave, I cross referenced
62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,239
the data. 17 cycles, [music] always
63
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:00,080
after a territory violation, teens
64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,092
breaking in. Underground party, nosy
65
00:03:02,092 --> 00:03:04,000
[music] visitors, always followed by a
66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
disappearance. Surviving witnesses
67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120
describe a persistent figure. White
68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,159
hockey mask, acts or long blade,
69
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,360
impossible underwater movement, resists,
70
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,599
wounds, doesn't speak, doesn't
71
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,400
negotiate, just executes. Paranormal
72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,640
hypothesis dismissed by protocol, but
73
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,680
the data forced a review. Jason Vorhees,
74
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,840
name tied to the lake since 1,957.
75
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,222
Child with cranial deformity, neglected,
76
00:03:32,222 --> 00:03:34,480
[music] drowned while counselors [ __ ]
77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,360
Body never recovered. The mother, Pamela
78
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,239
Vorhees, carried out a massacre in 1958
79
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:43,200
ritual revenge. Killed by decapitation.
80
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,200
The son reappeared years later. The
81
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,239
cycle repeats. Not a ghost, not a zombie
82
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:50,560
in the classic sense. It's a bond.
83
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,879
Territory is a closed circuit. Memory is
84
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,760
fuel. Fear is reinforcement. Jason is
85
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,360
the executive of a ritual. Without a
86
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,599
ritualist, he is the ritual. The logic
87
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:02,159
is simple. Fixed stage lake divided by
88
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,799
boat house. Emotional trigger. Maternal
89
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:07,200
memory divided by territorial intrusion.
90
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,519
Collective amplifier. Perpetuated local
91
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:11,519
trauma. Each death [music] feeds the
92
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,080
legend. Each legend draws new intruders.
93
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Each intrusion reactivates the cycle. No
94
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,560
need for candles or grimoirs. Just
95
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,239
repetition.
96
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:21,840
Territory.
97
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,240
Remembrance. Physical containment fails
98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,720
because the anchor remains. Chains snap.
99
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,759
Cells rot. He returns. Always returns.
100
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,320
So the protocol has two acts. First,
101
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,160
break [music] the supernatural anchor.
102
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,040
Second, contain the body. In that order,
103
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,040
never the reverse. I mounted the
104
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,840
operation in 48 hours. Electromagnetic
105
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,840
field mesh around the boat house faraday
106
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,400
cage disguised as an environmental
107
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960
repair structure. 12 underwater
108
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,600
emitters, frequencies between 12 and 22
109
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,919
hertzes. Counterpoint infrasound.
110
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:55,280
Destructive interference [music] in the
111
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:57,520
lake's natural field. Inaudible, but
112
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,000
enough to d-tune the call. Reflection
113
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,303
removal.
114
00:05:01,303 --> 00:05:01,520
>> [music]
115
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080
>> Spectral LED flood lights positioned to
116
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
kill shadows in the water. No [music]
117
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,840
reflection. No symbolic mirror. Metal
118
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:11,360
surfaces covered with absorbent
119
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,240
material. Directed silence. Low [music]
120
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,240
amplitude white noise generators.
121
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Masking organic sounds that reinforce
122
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560
presence. Breathing. Movement.
123
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,120
Heartbeat. Totem neutralization. Remove
124
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,160
necklaces. Notes. Flowers. No dramatic
125
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,479
destruction. Just removal. Symbols lose
126
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:30,123
power without an audience.
127
00:05:30,123 --> 00:05:30,320
>> [music]
128
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,160
>> The mother's photo was trickier. I
129
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,080
digitized it, removed the original,
130
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,000
replaced it with a degraded replica.
131
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Didn't erase the memory, just weakened
132
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,720
the bond. Final component: Acoustic
133
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,400
inversion.
134
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Synthesized modulation based on the
135
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,320
original 18 herzes and projected a
136
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,880
mirrored frequency. Not magic. Psycho
137
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,560
acoustics.
138
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Cancellation waves. Engineering against
139
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,440
enchantment. Trap set. I entered as
140
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,160
Bruce. No cape, no mask, deliberate
141
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,960
bait. He came at dusk. Emerged from the
142
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,960
water without a sound. Broad shoulders,
143
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,360
cracked mask, machete rusted long as my
144
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400
forearm. Slow, inevitable movement. I
145
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,840
struck first. Punched [music] to the
146
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,400
solar plexus. Forced to shatter ribs. He
147
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,639
didn't even budge. Counterattack lateral
148
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:15,199
swing. [music]
149
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:18,000
Blade slicing air. Dodged by inches.
150
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Smell of muck and decay. [music] Second
151
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,720
hit. Knee to the patella.
152
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Human femur can't take 300 kilos of
153
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,600
pressure. He stumbled. Didn't fall.
154
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,199
Third elbow to the base of the skull.
155
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:35,520
Lethal technique. He turned his head
156
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,840
slow like he was sizing me up. Then he
157
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,400
clocked me. Impact to the sternum. I
158
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,840
flew 3 m. Slammed into a tree. Cracked
159
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,280
rib. Partially collapsed lung. Blurred
160
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,400
vision. He advanced. No rush. Execution.
161
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,720
Not a fight. I rolled. Triggered the
162
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,160
flare. Tactical evac. I survived because
163
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,039
he doesn't pursue beyond the territory.
164
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:04,160
Not yet. Returned 72 hours later as
165
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,960
Batman. Data confirmed. Containment
166
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,120
without breaking the anchor is useless.
167
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Tested expanding polymer foam. The same
168
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,599
that immobilizes Bane. Jason tore
169
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:15,680
through it in 90 seconds, snapping the
170
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,319
polymers like wet paper. The anchor was
171
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:20,479
still active. The territory still
172
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:22,560
called. So I activated the full
173
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,560
protocol. Emitters at max. Faraday field
174
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,199
operational. Totems removed. Reflections
175
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:32,000
dead. I waited in the boat house.
176
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,479
Reinforced armor. Non-lethal arsenal
177
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:37,195
prepped. This time with the anchor
178
00:07:37,195 --> 00:07:39,360
[music] weakened. He emerged again.
179
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Slower. Uncertain movement. Hesitation.
180
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,919
The first ever recorded. The mesh was
181
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:46,080
working. He was still solid, still
182
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,160
dangerous, but the bond was vibrating
183
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,880
wrong. Offkey. Attacked with surgical
184
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,880
precision. Directed explosives on the
185
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,520
boat house pilings. calculated collapse.
186
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,440
The structure crumbled onto him. Wood
187
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,919
and metal used the chaos. Graphine
188
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:02,720
harpoons, tungsten cables, anchors fixed
189
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,120
a submerged rock not to kill him to
190
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,840
immobilize him long enough. He fought
191
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,360
monstrous strength, even [music]
192
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,919
weakened. Snapped two cables. But this
193
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:13,875
time, I wasn't unarmed Bruce Wayne.
194
00:08:13,875 --> 00:08:16,160
[music] I was Batman. Full armor,
195
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,160
tactical arsenal, and Jason doesn't
196
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,720
fight like the others. His first strike.
197
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Impossible [music] speed. Machete in a
198
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,479
downward arc. Blocked with armored
199
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:26,479
forearm impact. Rang like an anvil.
200
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:28,800
Counter. Hydraulic punch to the sternum.
201
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,599
He staggered back. One step. Switched
202
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:34,080
tactics. Lateral movement. Three Muay
203
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,159
Thai kicks to the knee. He stumbled.
204
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,240
Fired steel cable around his neck.
205
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,640
Electric winch pull. He yanked back,
206
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,399
dragging me across the wood before I
207
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,720
released. Tungsten net. Treore through
208
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,480
it in seconds.
209
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,680
Electro spurs 50,000 volts. Convulsed
210
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,880
but didn't stop. Blade whistled past my
211
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,680
jugular by inches. But the emitters held
212
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,920
the interference. The supernatural link,
213
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,920
what makes him invincible, fuels his
214
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,920
monstrous strength. His impossible
215
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,160
resilience was corrupting. Territory
216
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880
failing. Memory distorted. The anchor
217
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,720
sustaining him bleeding out. He
218
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120
faltered. Critical moment. Activated
219
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,320
silver veil. 4 m containment sphere.
220
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Triple wall.
221
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,360
Inner layer of total sensory
222
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,519
deprivation. No light, no sound, no
223
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,480
vibration. Middle cryogenic cooling
224
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,680
layer. Outer absolute Faraday shell.
225
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,080
Submersible hermetic designed to
226
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,000
completely isolate the occupant from any
227
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,080
external stimulus. With the anchor
228
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,399
broken, containment became effective. He
229
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:38,800
went in. I sealed it. Sank the sphere to
230
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,279
the lake's deepest point. 120 m.
231
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,720
Anorobic muck. Total darkness. Not dead.
232
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,839
contained, isolated. 3 days later, I
233
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:50,320
extracted the sphere, transported to a
234
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,200
remote facility. Geological underwater
235
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,839
pit [music] in the North Atlantic, 3,000
236
00:09:55,839 --> 00:10:00,880
m deep, constant temperature, 2° C,
237
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,480
extreme salinity, triple Faraday cages,
238
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,720
total absence of reflections, no light,
239
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,000
no sound, no echo, safety redundancies.
240
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,160
If the sphere fails, it sinks to the
241
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,240
abyssal zone. If he escapes, [music]
242
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,839
controlled detonation of the original
243
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:18,399
site. Boat house camp. Territorial
244
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:21,360
landmarks. No stage. No return. I
245
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160
catalog the rules. Territorial anchor.
246
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,399
Jason needs the lake. Without it, he
247
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:29,279
weakens. Memorial trigger. The mother's
248
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,480
memory activates him. Breaking totems
249
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,640
dilutes the intensity. Collective
250
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,200
reinforcement. Fear feeds the cycle.
251
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,959
Silence breaks the [music] narrative.
252
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:41,200
Physical limitation. Even weakened
253
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200
superhuman resilience. Containment
254
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
requires total sensory deprivation.
255
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,680
Persistence doesn't die, just
256
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,800
hibernates. I didn't kill him. I won't
257
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360
cross that line. Not even for this. But
258
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,880
I didn't free him. I can't. Future lives
259
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,920
depend on it. He's contained,
260
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,640
monitored, isolated from everything that
261
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,800
makes him tick. Not a prison. Onlogical
262
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,040
quarantine. Gotham went back to its
263
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,279
usual noise. Alfred didn't ask about
264
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,279
Blair County. Just changed the dressing
265
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:15,440
on my ribs and poured tea. The lake
266
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,519
stays empty. No [music] legend, no
267
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:20,640
totems, no fear for now. Some believe
268
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,560
monsters can't be stopped. That the
269
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,560
supernatural is beyond reason. That
270
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,640
ancient forces always win. [music]
271
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,480
They're wrong. Doesn't matter if it's
272
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,687
magic, ritual, or immortal cycle.
273
00:11:31,687 --> 00:11:34,160
[music] Everything runs on rules.
274
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,880
Everything has structure. Everything can
275
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,079
be understood, dismantled, contained.
276
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:42,000
I've dedicated my life to it. Not just
277
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Gotham's criminals, but anything that
278
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,160
threatens the innocent, human or not,
279
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,040
alive or not, if it can kill, I can stop
280
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,839
it. I'm not just a detective, not just a
281
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:53,920
vigilante. I'm the preparation the
282
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,839
impossible didn't see coming. The
283
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,920
contingency for what shouldn't exist.
284
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,920
The line between chaos and order. The
285
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,079
line I never cross, but defend with
286
00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:04,399
everything I've got. Other heroes trust
287
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:07,440
power. I trust method. Jason Vorhees was
288
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,360
inevitable until he wasn't [music]
289
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,600
because I'm the Batman and the Batman
290
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,160
always has a plan.
291
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:18,959
>> He's not even making a sound up there.
292
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:20,880
>> I don't care what he is. If he can help
293
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,088
us, let him.
294
00:12:24,088 --> 00:12:24,560
[music]
295
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:27,920
>> Silence. This deep always has a price.
296
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,839
Here, it's paid while they sleep.
297
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,279
Most crimes break doors. This one breaks
298
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:44,880
principles.
299
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,440
Broken lock, no forced entry. She died
300
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,600
in her sleep with a perfect wound and no
301
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,959
trace of a blade.
302
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:53,040
>> We found no metal, no carbon, no known
303
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,880
alloy. It's like the weapon never
304
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,519
existed.
305
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:56,959
>> When the tool doesn't belong to this
306
00:12:56,959 --> 00:12:58,639
world, the crime stops being physical.
307
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,560
It becomes ontological.
308
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,200
>> Same pattern, sir. All asleep. No
309
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
weapon, no trace. They call it a
310
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160
vengeful spirit in the local reports.
311
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240
>> Spirits don't leave patterns.
312
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,560
>> People do or something that learned from
313
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:12,880
them.
314
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,639
>> Some would [clears throat] say this is
315
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:17,760
beyond your field. The supernatural,
316
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,560
dreams, demons.
317
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,680
>> There is no beyond my field. If it
318
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,240
kills, it follows rules. I just haven't
319
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,720
mapped them yet. filter all victims by
320
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800
sleep cycle, childhood fears, and
321
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,680
exposure to the same story.
322
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,680
>> All of them heard about him before they
323
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,560
died. All of them were terrified of the
324
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,399
idea.
325
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:42,880
That's the principle, not a demon, a
326
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,120
construct, a thought given teeth.
327
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,760
>> He's a parasite of belief. The more they
328
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,839
fear him, the more real he becomes.
329
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:52,399
>> If his existence depends on fear, then
330
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,639
the contingency is simple. Break the
331
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,519
belief.
332
00:13:57,519 --> 00:13:59,279
They're not just tired. They're
333
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:00,720
improvising a war they don't even
334
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,240
understand.
335
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,240
>> If you fall asleep, he gets you. Just
336
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,920
don't sleep ever.
337
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,240
>> His power doesn't start in their dreams.
338
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,079
It starts in the stories they trade to
339
00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:17,360
stay awake. Belief is the battery. Fear
340
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,440
is the voltage. Drain both
341
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,639
and the monster starves.
342
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,720
He kills where no lock, no alarm, no
343
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,199
barricade can reach him. Inside their
344
00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:31,199
sleep. If his only terrain is the
345
00:14:31,199 --> 00:14:32,560
nightmare, then I don't drag him out
346
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,079
first.
347
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:37,199
I go in. Protocol nightmare zero begins
348
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:40,240
inside his kingdom, not outside of it.
349
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Looking into his domain without control
350
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,079
means giving him every advantage. I need
351
00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:46,160
structure, lucidity, and a way back.
352
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,160
>> Lucidity lab is ready, sir. Neural
353
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,079
safeguards, cardiac monitors, extraction
354
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:52,480
routines, all on stand. finds me, he
355
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,480
won't be hunting a victim. He'll be
356
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,519
stepping into a pre-planned battlefield.
357
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:00,560
>> Dreams bend reality. Lucid dreams bend
358
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,880
it back. I need to know when I'm no
359
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360
longer awake and refuse to forget it.
360
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,600
>> Lucidity serum will block delta waves
361
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760
and keep your awareness online. You'll
362
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,240
know you're dreaming the entire time.
363
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,440
>> Good. If he tries to rewrite the rules,
364
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,560
I'll be there to overwrite them.
365
00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:23,560
This isn't sleep. It's an incursion.
366
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,580
[music]
367
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,600
>> Phase one, controlled entry. I let the
368
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,880
nightmare find me, but on my terms.
369
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,959
>> Induction sequence starting. Lucid
370
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:36,959
markers locked. If your heart rate drops
371
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:41,399
below 40, we trigger extraction.
372
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,040
>> If he tries to turn this into a hunt,
373
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,320
remind him. I set the rules. I'm not
374
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,199
going to sleep. I'm going to invade.
375
00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:56,240
Heart rate's steady. Awareness intact.
376
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,320
The body is asleep. The mind is crossing
377
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,839
over.
378
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:03,759
In his realm, thoughts turn into
379
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:05,279
architecture.
380
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:06,880
I just have to think sharper than he
381
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,880
dreams.
382
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,800
This is my entry point. The neutral
383
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,160
layer. My rules. burst his nightmares on
384
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560
top. Come on then. You like hunting in
385
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,399
dreams. Find me. He builds mazes from
386
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,920
childhood fears. Classrooms, lockers,
387
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,839
empty halls, [laughter]
388
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:31,600
all loaded with panic.
389
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,639
>> Class is in session, detective. You're
390
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:37,639
late.
391
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,000
>> Every door is bait. He expects panic.
392
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Random choices.
393
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,720
Instinct. Pick a door. Any door. They
394
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,240
all end the same.
395
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,199
>> Nightmare architecture. Heat, noise, no
396
00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:57,440
exits. He wants me overwhelmed before
397
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,920
the real attack.
398
00:17:01,199 --> 00:17:04,240
>> You've been here before. You just don't
399
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,600
remember how loud you screamed.
400
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000
>> He multiplies himself. Quantity over
401
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,039
quality. Noise over strategy. How many
402
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:18,039
of me can you bleed tonight? Huh?
403
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,720
>> Fear speeds you up. Discipline slows
404
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,959
time down.
405
00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:26,702
You're loud.
406
00:17:26,702 --> 00:17:28,400
[snorts]
407
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,440
I only need the real you.
408
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,480
He tries overload. Too many screams, too
409
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,200
much fire. Fear is a flood. I don't
410
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,600
drown in floods. I turn them into
411
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,720
numbers.
412
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600
>> He wants chaos, noise, overload. I
413
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,760
answer with structure. This is my mind.
414
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080
>> Freddy's nightmare runs on belief. I
415
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,720
strip it down to logic.
416
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,919
>> Why isn't this changing?
417
00:17:57,919 --> 00:17:59,679
>> I said melt.
418
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,840
>> Inside this chamber, he's bound to one
419
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,600
rule. Physics. No shortcuts, no
420
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,480
omnipotence. Feeling limited.
421
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200
Pain is data. If he feels it here, I can
422
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,400
drag that version out of the dream.
423
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,480
>> Good. You can be hurt. That's all I
424
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,720
needed to confirm. To pull him out, I
425
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,840
need one constant physical contact. A
426
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,200
fixed point in a shifting dream.
427
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,160
You're done hunting here. From now on,
428
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,600
you move when I say you move. Rate at
429
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,280
38. Engaging the sonic anchor.
430
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,480
>> Sound is the bridge. The exact frequency
431
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,799
of my waking voice ties the dream back
432
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:49,960
to reality.
433
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,360
What did you do?
434
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,440
Why can't I change this? The anchor
435
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280
forces him to focus on one thing he
436
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,720
can't control. Waking reality.
437
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,120
>> This is my world. You don't get to drag
438
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,480
me out.
439
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,760
>> You're not a god. You're a pattern.
440
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,559
Patterns can be relocated.
441
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,320
>> You're not a god. You're just a killer
442
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,880
with a borrowed stage. Phase gamma
443
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,200
reality containment in here. He's not a
444
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,120
myth. He's just another criminal inside
445
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,360
a box.
446
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:36,080
Veg gamma. Reality containment. here.
447
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,559
He's not an idea. He's a body inside a
448
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:41,559
box.
449
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,400
Get used to the weight. That's gravity.
450
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,919
That's pain. That's you without magic.
451
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:50,559
You know, in dreams, he's omnipotent.
452
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,400
Here, he's just another killer with bad
453
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,600
habits and a fragile frame.
454
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,320
What is this place? Why can't I bend it?
455
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,160
No dreams, no nightmares, no nightmares,
456
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,880
no power source. Simple math.
457
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,799
>> What? What did you pump in here? I can't
458
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:16,360
feel them anymore.
459
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,440
>> He's contained for now. But fear doesn't
460
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080
vanish with steel and gas. It lingers
461
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:22,960
out there.
462
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,120
>> Physical cells slow the damage. They
463
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:27,840
don't erase the myth. For that, I need a
464
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,720
different kind of cage. sensitization
465
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,679
campaigns, manipulated narratives. This
466
00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:36,400
is mass influence on a global scale.
467
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,039
>> It's a vaccine. They weaponized fear.
468
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:42,840
I'm weaponizing ridicule.
469
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,159
>> You can't fear what you're busy laughing
470
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:51,159
at.
471
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,559
First wave saturation turned the
472
00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:57,120
nightmare into a cartoon, a meme, a
473
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,120
joke.
474
00:21:00,889 --> 00:21:01,600
>> [music]
475
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,440
>> The more they laugh, the less room there
476
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,320
is for terror.
477
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,880
6 months later. His name doesn't mean
478
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,280
fear. It means cheap horror. Old news.
479
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,880
>> Man, I used to have nightmares about
480
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,039
that guy. Now he's just a Halloween
481
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,039
meme.
482
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,320
>> No, they can't forget me. They're
483
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,440
supposed to be afraid. That's the deal.
484
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,360
When the story collapses, the monster
485
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:32,720
doesn't die. It just loses its audience
486
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,400
and then it fades.
487
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,440
>> No, they can't just forget me. They're
488
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,200
supposed to scream when they hear my
489
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,760
name. [music]
490
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,919
>> The true cell isn't steel. It's
491
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:44,640
irrelevance. Once the story dies, the
492
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,840
monster has nowhere left to live.
493
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,400
Protocol Nightmare Zero is complete. Not
494
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,200
by force, by social engineering. You
495
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,720
don't always beat monsters by hitting
496
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,280
them harder. Sometimes you just bankrupt
497
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,200
the myth that feeds them. He ever finds
498
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,120
a way back through another story. The
499
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,200
chamber moves with him straight into a
500
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,520
mind he can't bend.
501
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,159
Nightmare against nightmare. A higher
502
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:11,600
order guardian can finish what I
503
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,600
started.
504
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:28,600
Now get out of here. I have work to do.
505
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,919
>> Another case, sir. Empty car, missing
506
00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:34,320
family, and no tracks leading away from
507
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,640
the road. Local authorities wrote it off
508
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,760
as a runaway.
509
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,520
>> People don't just vanish from an open
510
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,960
road. Not without leaving a pattern.
511
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,640
17 reports. Always the same rural route.
512
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,799
Always in clusters every 23 years for 23
513
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:51,280
days.
514
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,440
>> That's not coincidence, sir. That's
515
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,440
ritual.
516
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,280
>> Predators that follow patterns can be
517
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,600
trapped. I'll see what's hunting that
518
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,960
road. Fear Druid out there. I'll meet it
519
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,840
where it thinks no one is watching.
520
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,240
>> Not your usual ride, sir. It looks like
521
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,640
it barely survived the last century. Out
522
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,600
there a sleek engine screams outsider.
523
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,799
This has rust dents history. Armor on
524
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:22,640
the inside, camouflage on the outside.
525
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,320
Exactly what it expects to see before it
526
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,320
feet.
527
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,799
>> Local police came and left. No bodies,
528
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:30,720
no footprints leaving the road. Just
529
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,360
silence and an empty car.
530
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,840
>> Are there any signs of a struggle, sir?
531
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,960
Tire marks, blood, anything the reports
532
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,440
might have missed?
533
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,960
>> No. No skid marks, no drag marks, just
534
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,679
impact, panic, and then something pulled
535
00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:50,320
them out of reality in seconds.
536
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,919
These scratches aren't from tools or
537
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:54,320
boots, and this fiber doesn't belong to
538
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,159
anything on a human inventory.
539
00:23:56,159 --> 00:23:57,919
>> I'm already cross-referencing older
540
00:23:57,919 --> 00:23:59,679
missing person reports on that highway,
541
00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:03,440
sir. The pattern is concerning.
542
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,559
>> Good. Keep digging. Dates, gaps,
543
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:09,200
anything that repeats. Predators erase
544
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,200
witnesses, but they can't erase their
545
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200
own habits. This road has seen it
546
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,279
before. Fear is my tool, but the fear I
547
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:20,000
use is the fear of consequence. The fear
548
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,360
of law, of justice.
549
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,679
What I hunt now does not fear the law.
550
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:34,320
It is the law of its own nature. Master
551
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,080
Bruce, the feeding cycle began 72 hours
552
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,120
ago.
553
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:44,000
>> Every 23 years, it hunts for 23 days. It
554
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,120
is a creature of cycles.
555
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:51,120
Cycles are predictable and the
556
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,520
predictable is controllable.
557
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,039
I call it protocol harvest. The goal is
558
00:24:57,039 --> 00:24:59,520
not to kill it. It is to interrupt the
559
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,640
cycle. The creeper is not mystical. It
560
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,760
is biological, a demonic creature, yes,
561
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,480
but with a physiology that obeys rules.
562
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,480
It replaces body parts with those of its
563
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,559
victims. It is a parasite that perfects
564
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:15,200
itself.
565
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,279
>> Weakness, Master Bruce,
566
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:20,480
>> weakness is necessity. It needs specific
567
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,000
parts.
568
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,200
It needs fear to choose, and it needs
569
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,640
time to hibernate.
570
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,600
Every 23 years, the same reports.
571
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,159
Missing travelers, empty cars, no
572
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:37,760
bodies,
573
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,000
different victims, same stretch of road.
574
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,440
The feeding grounds change. The nest
575
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,960
doesn't.
576
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,480
All routes curve back to the same
577
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,240
structure, same building, same hiding
578
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,240
place.
579
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,400
It hunts on the road. It sleeps in the
580
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,080
same grave. I don't wait for it to
581
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,400
choose the next victim. I go straight to
582
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720
where it feels untouchable.
583
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,880
It is a hunter.
584
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,760
But it is a hunter with habits. It uses
585
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,159
the same vehicle, the same hiding place.
586
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:20,279
Predictability is its arrogance.
587
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,520
The odor,
588
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,360
a mixture of formaldahhide and something
589
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,440
resembling sulfur.
590
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,400
It is preparing for hibernation.
591
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,080
Time is running out. Reaper is almost
592
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,440
indestructible. Fire, bullets,
593
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,640
explosions. It regenerates.
594
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,760
But regeneration has a cost. It needs
595
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,880
time and organic material.
596
00:26:48,159 --> 00:26:50,480
Is the experimental blade ready?
597
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,360
>> Yes, sir. That alloy can disrupt
598
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,919
whatever keeps these things coming back.
599
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:57,840
>> I don't need much. I just need a
600
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,840
catalyst.
601
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,960
>> The tracker on its truck shows me where
602
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,760
it feels safe to hunt.
603
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,880
Same road, same pattern, same mistake. I
604
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,679
don't chase it. I wait exactly where the
605
00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:25,378
cycle expects its next meal.
606
00:27:25,378 --> 00:27:27,398
[music]
607
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,880
I'm not the prey on this road. I'm the
608
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,880
invitation.
609
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,440
Life the wings will expect you. I am not
610
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,279
the victim.
611
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:46,960
I am the bait. And the bait must be
612
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,200
irresistible.
613
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,559
It chose me. It sense the strength. It
614
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:55,120
sense the intelligence. It wants my
615
00:27:55,120 --> 00:28:01,480
brain, my vision, my capacity to plan.
616
00:28:11,884 --> 00:28:13,904
>> [groaning]
617
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,320
>> You are fast
618
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,240
but predictable. Your tactic is
619
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,919
intimidation.
620
00:28:25,919 --> 00:28:28,880
Its strength is primal, unrefined. It
621
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,919
relies on overwhelming force.
622
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,360
My strikes are meant to disable human
623
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,679
opponents. Against it, they are mere
624
00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:46,799
annoyances, but they serve a purpose. To
625
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:50,360
test its limits,
626
00:28:56,424 --> 00:28:57,520
[screaming]
627
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,640
it realized the axe was a liability. Now
628
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,285
it reverts to its natural weapons.
629
00:29:04,285 --> 00:29:06,305
>> [groaning]
630
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,820
[groaning]
631
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,679
>> It underestimated my armor and my
632
00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:31,919
resilience. Now the real fight begins.
633
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:34,080
It relies on sight and smell. I just
634
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,880
took away both
635
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,399
in the chaos. I guided it step by step
636
00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:43,600
to the designated kill zone.
637
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,640
Protocol beta tactical immobilization. I
638
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,720
lured it into a minefield of low power
639
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,960
explosive gel. Not to wound, but [music]
640
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,120
to dismember.
641
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,320
That alloy neutralizes whatever keeps it
642
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,440
growing back. The arm is dead. It can't
643
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,000
rejoin the body.
644
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,720
The goal is fragmentation. It cannot
645
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,399
regenerate if the parts are too far
646
00:30:24,399 --> 00:30:27,200
apart.
647
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,679
I used its own aggression against it.
648
00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:33,840
The more it fought, the more it broke.
649
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,559
I did not kill it. I simply ensured that
650
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:39,039
the cost of regeneration was too high to
651
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:40,960
bear.
652
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,200
All gamma stasis containment. It needs
653
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,080
23 days to hunt. It [music] needs 23
654
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,200
years to sleep.
655
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,760
I'll give it 23,000.
656
00:30:55,679 --> 00:30:57,440
The entity isn't a myth that feeds on
657
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,840
stories. It's a predator that follows
658
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,279
rules. And predators can be put into
659
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:06,399
deep sleep.
660
00:31:06,399 --> 00:31:10,320
He is in stasis, sir.
661
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,559
But what about the cycle? Won't it try
662
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:16,960
to wake again in 23 years?
663
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,440
No. The stasis chamber is programmed to
664
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,200
release an electromagnetic pulse every
665
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,799
22 years, 364 days. A pulse that will
666
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:29,559
keep it in deep sleep for another cycle.
667
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,840
Protocol delta cycle nullification. I
668
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,399
did not kill it. I froze it in time.
669
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,000
The creature is contained.
670
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,240
It is sleeping. And the rural road
671
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,600
is safe.
672
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,159
True weakness of a creature of cycles is
673
00:31:56,159 --> 00:31:58,240
interruption. I didn't defeat it with
674
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,159
force.
675
00:32:00,159 --> 00:32:04,279
I defeated it with a calendar.
676
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,760
Protocol creeper harvest Omega 9
677
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,240
complete. Now get out of here. I've got
678
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,559
work to do.
679
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:19,279
This city is a graveyard of mysteries.
680
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:22,320
But this one, this was a mystery without
681
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,320
witnesses,
682
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:28,919
without motive.
683
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,919
At least the word of God's here. There's
684
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:36,720
no Titanless like this.
685
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,519
If every one of these loves knife, just
686
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:41,120
the signature of a force that didn't
687
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,519
care about physics.
688
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,279
The speed of the attack was supersonic.
689
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:53,399
The force beyond human comprehension.
690
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,080
The target was vaporized.
691
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:13,320
This wasn't a crime. This was a purge.
692
00:33:15,807 --> 00:33:17,827
>> [screaming]
693
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,600
>> Sir, the reports from the containment
694
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,480
organization are clear. Anyone who sees
695
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,000
SCP096's
696
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,320
face is condemned. Death is inevitable.
697
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,360
Its weakness is perception. It only
698
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,399
attacks if it is seen. Its weakness is
699
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:44,080
the rule. And every rule has an
700
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,159
exception.
701
00:33:46,159 --> 00:33:48,080
Filter out the visuals. I want heat
702
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,600
scans, movement patterns, audio
703
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,440
signatures only. I don't need to see it.
704
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,880
I just need to know it. Understood.
705
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,000
Visual data removed. Focusing on
706
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,440
nonoptical signatures only.
707
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:07,919
The creature is a ghost in the light,
708
00:34:07,919 --> 00:34:10,960
but a beacon in the dark.
709
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,103
It's the perfect predator.
710
00:34:14,103 --> 00:34:14,879
[music]
711
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:18,079
But even perfection
712
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:21,800
has a blind spot.
713
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:27,919
When its rage is triggered, SCP096 stops
714
00:34:27,919 --> 00:34:29,679
being a body and turns into pure kinetic
715
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,480
heat. A moving scream locked on one
716
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,720
victim.
717
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:38,639
SCP096 doesn't search. It commits. One
718
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,560
target, one straight path. Everything
719
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,240
between them is just collateral.
720
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:47,040
If sight is the trigger, then sight has
721
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,639
to die. No eyes, no windows, just
722
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,560
sensors and armor thick enough to ride
723
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,119
the impact.
724
00:34:55,119 --> 00:34:57,200
>> With this configuration, you never look
725
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,200
at SCP096,
726
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,200
sir. You only read it. Heat, sound,
727
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,760
movement. Enough to fight it without
728
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,359
ever seeing its face.
729
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,800
SCP096 is a straight line. This gear
730
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,960
turns me into the steering wheel. All I
731
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,359
need now is the perfect place to crash
732
00:35:17,359 --> 00:35:20,599
the monster.
733
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,640
Someone already saw SCP096
734
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,119
face, sir. It's locked on that victim
735
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,359
now. It won't stop until it reaches
736
00:35:29,359 --> 00:35:32,560
them. The path is already drawn. Any new
737
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,400
observer of that face becomes a target,
738
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,440
too, sir. First, second, third. SCP096
739
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,400
will hunt them all.
740
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,320
>> If I look at its face, I join the list.
741
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,480
The suit will read its movement for me.
742
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,720
Heat, motion tracking, combat vectors,
743
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:53,520
so I never need to see SCP096 to fight
744
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
it.
745
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,560
SCP096 is already in full rage, chasing
746
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,359
someone I can't save. All I can do now
747
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:04,160
is choose where the monster passes
748
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,920
and be strong enough to stand in its
749
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,000
way.
750
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,880
I don't need eyes. Eyes make you a
751
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,280
target. I need a sealed shell and a
752
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,520
system that turns SCP096
753
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,119
into numbers, not a face.
754
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,640
Liar grid is stable. Thermal mapping is
755
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,520
clean. Motion tracking is active. The
756
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,520
suit reads every step your opponent
757
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,520
takes, sir, without ever showing you
758
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,280
SCP096's
759
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,720
face.
760
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,560
>> The readers give me what I need in a
761
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,920
fight. Heat, vectors, movement. I don't
762
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,520
see the monster. I read it. This power
763
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,960
was built for things that hit harder
764
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,440
than tanks. I just need it for a few
765
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,960
seconds [music] to survive SCP096's
766
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,200
first impact and stay upright long
767
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,000
enough to drag it into the trap.
768
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,720
I won't outrun SCP096.
769
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:02,400
I'll let it crash into me and use its
770
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,560
rage as an engine. The suit will steer
771
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,720
it along one straight line directly into
772
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,960
the Phantom Zone gate I chose. Is
773
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,839
everything all right, FRIEND?
774
00:37:14,885 --> 00:37:16,905
[screaming]
775
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:25,920
>> If we place the Phantom Zone gate here,
776
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,560
sir.
777
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,280
SCP X096 path will cross this canyon. No
778
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,119
civilians, just rock and empty air.
779
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:41,200
>> The suit holds SCP096 on that line.
780
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,920
The Phantom Zone does the rest. One
781
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,000
straight vector and the monster
782
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,160
disappears into that prison forever.
783
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,079
>> The Kryptonian projector is in position,
784
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:52,480
sir. We tuned it to one narrow entry
785
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,640
vector. Once SCP096 crosses this line,
786
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,720
the Phantom Zone opens for 3 seconds.
787
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,160
The Phantom Zone is not a place in our
788
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,839
world. No walls, no doors, no distance
789
00:38:07,839 --> 00:38:10,079
to cross back.
790
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,880
>> Good. SCP096 doesn't need a cell. It
791
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,160
needs a horizon it can never reach.
792
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,119
>> The Phantom Zone gate opens. You'll have
793
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,200
seconds at best, sir. If you lose
794
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,920
control of the line, SCP096 will keep
795
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:24,400
running.
796
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,800
>> Then I don't lose it. The suit reads its
797
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,800
movement. I hold the vector and the
798
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,599
phantom zone takes the monster away.
799
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:33,200
>> SCP096
800
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,040
is closing in on your intercept point,
801
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,079
sir. If any sensor fails out there, even
802
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:40,400
for a second, it will reach its original
803
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,839
target.
804
00:38:41,839 --> 00:38:44,640
>> The risk is calculated. 3 seconds.
805
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,920
That's all I need to hold the Vector to
806
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,839
push SCP096
807
00:38:49,839 --> 00:38:53,960
straight into the phantom zone.
808
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,119
Wind speed stable, ground dry, vector
809
00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:01,960
path confirmed. This is the place.
810
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,560
The drone confirms the line. SCP096 is
811
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,960
running fast, straight toward me.
812
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,560
The drone tracks the rage vector. SCP096
813
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,960
isn't coming for me. It's coming for the
814
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,280
person who saw its face. I'm just
815
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,920
standing in the way.
816
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,240
Heat signature rising. Vector locked.
817
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,800
Movement detected. Staying on the line.
818
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,282
Heat. Heat. [laughter]
819
00:39:54,707 --> 00:39:56,727
[screaming]
820
00:39:58,637 --> 00:40:00,657
[laughter]
821
00:40:09,772 --> 00:40:11,792
>> [screaming]
822
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,359
>> Heat. Heat.
823
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,480
Heat.
824
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560
Heat.
825
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,480
The Phantom Zone gate is open, sir.
826
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:13,480
3 seconds. Stay on course.
827
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,839
Your rage ends on the other side.
828
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,480
It's over
829
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,119
for now.
830
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,640
