[00:00:00] Escaping Denver, Batch 4, Episode 9, The Kaiju.

[00:00:24] You have got to be kidding me.

[00:00:27] Shoot! How am I supposed to be able to concentrate on Noah and Sarah's mission to blow up that elevator shaft when there are birds busting into my little hiding space?

[00:00:36] They literally have to stop a 50-foot monster and I'm being harassed by a random crow.

[00:00:41] Yes, you are a random crow. I refuse to believe otherwise.

[00:00:47] Lanky?

[00:00:55] Back in the vent with Sarah and Noah, Cody used a hallway, but nope, it's the vent for us.

[00:01:00] Would you shut up?

[00:01:01] We've been waiting for two hours. If someone was going to come by, they would have been...

[00:01:08] You wanted to speak with me, ma'am.

[00:01:11] Want is a strong word. Are they ready?

[00:01:14] Locked, loaded, and ready. If those two show up, we'll cut them down to size.

[00:01:18] I've heard that before.

[00:01:20] Not from me.

[00:01:21] No. Until today, I've never heard anything from you.

[00:01:24] I meant...

[00:01:25] I know what you meant. Standard, expected, bravado. A misread of this relationship dynamic.

[00:01:31] You won't impress me with your promises, but you can satiate me with results. Do you understand?

[00:01:36] Yes, ma'am. Get it done.

[00:01:37] No. I meant, do you understand what satiate means?

[00:01:41] Satisfy.

[00:01:41] Close enough.

[00:01:43] You're lucky Harper got herself cooked and were given this opportunity.

[00:01:46] The only one lucky is Harper for surviving that blast. To run in with these captives isn't for the faint of heart.

[00:01:51] And you would know?

[00:01:52] Yes, ma'am. Chase them to and face them in Stonehenge sight.

[00:01:55] The puncher faced them. You let them get away.

[00:01:58] I...

[00:01:58] That was harsh. I'm sure this time will be different.

[00:02:02] Yes, ma'am.

[00:02:03] See that your team is ready should they come this way.

[00:02:05] Ma'am?

[00:02:06] Captain?

[00:02:07] I'd love the chance to prove myself.

[00:02:09] Bring me their bodies and all will be proven.

[00:02:11] But if they don't come this way, if they somehow take another route, can I maybe head down with the creature team?

[00:02:19] If they don't come this way, we'll find another way for you to prove yourself.

[00:02:23] The ship has sailed on the creature team.

[00:02:25] This started its descent an hour ago.

[00:02:27] Shit.

[00:02:28] Understood.

[00:02:29] We're supposed to have stopped it.

[00:02:31] And Captain?

[00:02:31] Yes, ma'am.

[00:02:32] If they do come this way and you let them slip through your fingers...

[00:02:35] You'll have me killed.

[00:02:37] I know.

[00:02:37] Don't interrupt me.

[00:02:41] And you're wrong.

[00:02:43] I don't tolerate failure.

[00:02:44] But I wouldn't have someone kill you.

[00:02:47] I'd kill you myself.

[00:02:54] I'd kill you myself.

[00:02:56] Sometimes.

[00:02:58] Just sometimes I wish I had the courage to...

[00:03:05] We probably shouldn't have taken this detour.

[00:03:07] You think?

[00:03:08] Yeah, but at least we know that Sanhi was telling the truth.

[00:03:11] The trap is real.

[00:03:13] A lot of good that does us.

[00:03:15] You heard the woman.

[00:03:16] This isn't a trap to catch us.

[00:03:18] They now want us dead.

[00:03:20] Well, dead or alive, they weren't inviting us to brunch.

[00:03:23] I don't see how this would change anything.

[00:03:25] From where I'm sitting, I'd rather them trying to kill me than catch me.

[00:03:29] Being caught was...

[00:03:31] I know.

[00:03:33] I'm sorry.

[00:03:34] What I meant is that they're probably armed to the teeth and gung-ho to shoot us up.

[00:03:39] It's not a trap I want to walk into.

[00:03:41] Then we don't.

[00:03:42] We crawl back the way we came and head to the shaft like we planned.

[00:03:46] But why?

[00:03:46] The lift has left the station.

[00:03:48] Well, we still have the bomb and an obligation.

[00:03:50] We don't have an obligation.

[00:03:52] We have a choice.

[00:03:54] I mean, is following through on chasing a literal monster down the shaft worth new IDs?

[00:03:59] It's not just new IDs.

[00:04:01] It's a new start.

[00:04:03] Noah and Sarah, the real Noah and Sarah are dead.

[00:04:06] Taken from airports years ago, chopped up and made into a thousand copies.

[00:04:11] We don't exist.

[00:04:13] We need the IDs.

[00:04:15] But...

[00:04:15] I'll tell you what.

[00:04:16] If we get there quickly enough and the lift is slow enough, we'll drop the bomb on them.

[00:04:20] Happy?

[00:04:22] Enough.

[00:04:23] Let's move.

[00:04:27] We've made it to the shaft and...

[00:04:28] We're too late.

[00:04:29] I can't even see the lift down there.

[00:04:31] It just drops off to darkness.

[00:04:33] Wait.

[00:04:36] Sandhu hooked us up with equipment, sure.

[00:04:38] But the archivist gave us a bunch of toys.

[00:04:39] And I swear I saw a...

[00:04:42] Aha!

[00:04:42] Got it.

[00:04:43] A flare.

[00:04:45] Why did he give you a flare?

[00:04:46] I don't know.

[00:04:47] Maybe for this exact reason.

[00:04:49] He gave us four of them and said they burn green, burn hot, and burn long.

[00:04:53] That's a lot of burn.

[00:04:54] Yeah, hell.

[00:04:55] You want to do the honors?

[00:04:57] Well, don't look right at it.

[00:04:59] Ugh.

[00:04:59] Too late.

[00:05:01] Damn it.

[00:05:01] Spots.

[00:05:02] That's bright.

[00:05:03] Warn you.

[00:05:05] Okay, what now?

[00:05:06] Well, I've only seen it in movies, but I think you just toss it down.

[00:05:09] Just toss it?

[00:05:10] Is that dangerous?

[00:05:12] I don't think so.

[00:05:13] I say just toss it.

[00:05:14] If it lights it on fire, all the cooler.

[00:05:16] We'll be declaring our presence regardless.

[00:05:19] Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

[00:05:20] Maybe we don't toss it.

[00:05:22] Screw it.

[00:05:22] Give it.

[00:05:23] Don't!

[00:05:25] Let them know we're on our way.

[00:05:28] That sucker is still falling.

[00:05:30] It really is.

[00:05:32] And it's gone.

[00:05:34] What does that tell us?

[00:05:36] It's hecka deep.

[00:05:37] For us to not see any green light, it could be over a mile.

[00:05:40] Down?

[00:05:41] Yeah.

[00:05:42] Well, unless you have wings, how the hell are we going to get down there?

[00:05:45] Over there.

[00:05:47] Looks like they built a stairwell along the lift tracks.

[00:05:49] That's over a mile of stairs.

[00:05:51] Yes, but heading down.

[00:05:53] Does that make it better?

[00:05:54] Yes, because if we survive, it's over a mile of stairs heading up.

[00:06:05] Yeah, I know.

[00:06:06] Still, this genius convinced me to descend down the world's longest stairwell into the heart

[00:06:12] of the world's most obvious danger.

[00:06:14] And what's worse is I keep following.

[00:06:17] You had me a genius.

[00:06:19] Are we ever going to reach the bottom?

[00:06:22] Feels like we've been going down for ages and we still can't see the green glow from the torch.

[00:06:26] The bottom is inevitable.

[00:06:27] We just have to be patient.

[00:06:29] No, we have to be athletes.

[00:06:32] Why don't we stop for a minute and have a drink?

[00:06:34] Oh, God yes.

[00:06:35] I was trudging ahead to save face.

[00:06:40] It's kind of incredible, though, isn't it?

[00:06:42] Water?

[00:06:44] Well, yes, but I meant the stairwell.

[00:06:46] The resources and coordination necessary to build a staircase this long as well.

[00:06:50] It's incredible.

[00:06:52] Well, right now it's hard to appreciate its engineering.

[00:06:55] It's kicking my ass.

[00:06:57] You could always use the Walkman.

[00:06:59] Free yourself from the burdens of average strength.

[00:07:03] Even with the extra batteries, I'm worried about overusing it.

[00:07:08] Plus, you didn't see me before, but I was getting pretty hooked.

[00:07:12] That makes sense.

[00:07:13] I've never been especially strong, so I can't fathom what you feel like when it's working.

[00:07:18] My stuff works so differently.

[00:07:20] Even now, my body is burning just a little.

[00:07:23] Repairing the slight damage done while descending.

[00:07:25] I'll be a fresh Noah by the time we get moving again.

[00:07:28] Even without the song.

[00:07:30] And with the song?

[00:07:32] Death couldn't keep up.

[00:07:35] When we get out of this, I'm going to Google how to actively repress memories.

[00:07:39] Send me the links you find.

[00:07:41] I have my fair share.

[00:07:43] Let's move.

[00:07:44] Another minute.

[00:07:46] I don't repair so quickly.

[00:07:48] Plus, we don't have a plan for when we reach the bottom.

[00:07:51] I figured we'd improvise like we always end up having to do.

[00:07:56] We're going to have to kill this thing, aren't we?

[00:07:59] We are.

[00:08:00] And it actually makes me feel worse than the soldiers.

[00:08:03] Yes.

[00:08:04] I didn't want to say it because I felt like a monster, but yes.

[00:08:07] You know, killing soldiers isn't fun, but those morons chose their side.

[00:08:12] The creatures are more innocent.

[00:08:15] Products of science beyond their control.

[00:08:18] They're like us.

[00:08:20] I know.

[00:08:21] It's messed up when you start relating more to the nightmare creatures instead of the humans.

[00:08:25] Yeah.

[00:08:26] We're nightmare creatures in our own right.

[00:08:28] That's a title I didn't see myself wearing as proudly as I do.

[00:08:32] That's why we're the ones that have to stop this thing.

[00:08:35] I know.

[00:08:36] I just want to go home.

[00:08:38] Well, in a weird way.

[00:08:39] Because we were made here.

[00:08:42] We are home.

[00:08:44] Okay.

[00:08:45] Now you're just being a dick.

[00:08:47] What did I say?

[00:08:48] We are home.

[00:08:50] If I wasn't scared I'd knock your head off, I'd slap you.

[00:08:53] Let's move.

[00:08:58] We're at the bottom, but it's a ghost town.

[00:09:00] A few of those military bins and a couple other pieces of gear, but otherwise nothing.

[00:09:06] Tell them about the smell.

[00:09:07] Oh, yeah.

[00:09:08] For the last 30 minutes of stairs, the smell started to seep up like rotten meat and garbage.

[00:09:14] It was death.

[00:09:16] Skipping ahead to us getting to the bottom, and there are heaps of bones and cloth and

[00:09:20] God knows what.

[00:09:21] Like people have been throwing things and throwing people down the shaft.

[00:09:24] Yeah, but the bones have bite marks on them.

[00:09:26] So something is down here.

[00:09:28] Hopefully whatever it is hates the kaiju as much as we do.

[00:09:32] Always a silver lining.

[00:09:33] Like I told the archivist, it's all about hope.

[00:09:36] This isn't an arcade game, though.

[00:09:38] Rules still apply.

[00:09:39] The game was shockingly close to our experience.

[00:09:42] Sure, we have to sub out one monster for another, one puzzle for another puzzle, but overall it was close.

[00:09:48] So we're in a video game now?

[00:09:50] No.

[00:09:50] But if, like a video game, we can assume there's a path to victory, we can still hope.

[00:09:55] Well, all I see are bones.

[00:09:58] So if you can see a path, lead on.

[00:10:00] Well, the first move is to leave this boneyard.

[00:10:03] Which tunnel?

[00:10:05] Looks like there are four choices.

[00:10:08] Wait.

[00:10:09] That doesn't make sense.

[00:10:11] No, I see four.

[00:10:12] Where's the lift?

[00:10:13] The what?

[00:10:13] The elevator car that supposedly descended beforehand.

[00:10:16] It should be here.

[00:10:18] Right.

[00:10:20] Maybe they brought it back up.

[00:10:21] When?

[00:10:22] We took the stairs for hours and didn't see anything come past us.

[00:10:25] What if they brought the creature much earlier?

[00:10:28] Maybe there is no monster, and this is a trap.

[00:10:34] The monster is here, and is the trap.

[00:10:40] This is...

[00:10:41] Malachi.

[00:10:44] This is nuts.

[00:10:46] How does something like this even happen?

[00:10:48] Is it pheromones or something?

[00:10:50] Like it can smell me or track me or whatever?

[00:10:53] Or, and I can't believe I'm opening this can of worms,

[00:10:56] or maybe Malachi isn't a real bird.

[00:10:59] But it really looks like a crow.

[00:11:03] Same, well, everything.

[00:11:06] Except maybe the eyes.

[00:11:08] They seem to, like, burrow into you.

[00:11:11] Like it's not looking at you, but really seeing you.

[00:11:15] You know?

[00:11:15] What felt like a great connection just a few weeks ago

[00:11:18] now feels unnerving and unsettling.

[00:11:22] I'm gonna have to move again.

[00:11:24] Obviously.

[00:11:25] And you better not follow me this time.

[00:11:28] I'm gonna move, so I wanted to be brief about Noah and Sarah.

[00:11:32] What the hell are they doing?

[00:11:34] When they didn't see the lift,

[00:11:35] they should have turned around and headed back up the stairs, right?

[00:11:38] But then it hit me.

[00:11:40] Purpose.

[00:11:41] It's all about purpose.

[00:11:43] And Noah and Sarah are coming to terms with the fact that they are products of science.

[00:11:46] Built in labs.

[00:11:48] And that's gotta mess with you a little.

[00:11:50] But if they can kill the big bad beast,

[00:11:52] then they were built for a purpose.

[00:11:54] Their existence has meaning.

[00:11:57] Or they have a death wish.

[00:11:59] Either way, buckle up.

[00:12:01] I thought we weren't doing flashlights.

[00:12:06] I reconsidered.

[00:12:07] You considered?

[00:12:08] Yeah.

[00:12:09] It's pitch black down here,

[00:12:10] meaning whatever creatures that are down here can likely see in the dark,

[00:12:13] so I figured,

[00:12:13] why should they be able to see me,

[00:12:15] but I can't see them?

[00:12:17] Yeah, that actually makes sense.

[00:12:19] Let me grab mine.

[00:12:22] Walls to this tunnel are weird.

[00:12:24] How so?

[00:12:26] See all the deep gouges?

[00:12:28] But there are also all these smooth patches where the tunnel narrows.

[00:12:32] Doesn't water smooth stone?

[00:12:33] Yeah, but it's only where the tunnel narrows.

[00:12:37] See?

[00:12:38] Shouldn't it be smooth elsewhere?

[00:12:41] Yeah, then what smoothed it?

[00:12:42] Well, I can't be certain,

[00:12:44] but I think we're hunting it.

[00:12:46] That's reassuring.

[00:12:47] But that would still take ages to smooth out,

[00:12:50] so this thing has been down here for a while.

[00:12:53] So this is a trap?

[00:12:54] Well, probably, but it's hard to tell.

[00:12:57] The way I see it,

[00:12:58] they created a creature to open the door of things,

[00:13:00] so they no longer need us.

[00:13:02] And now,

[00:13:03] where better to have this thing tear us apart,

[00:13:05] but at the bottom of the shaft?

[00:13:07] We walked into this.

[00:13:10] Was that behind us?

[00:13:11] Yes.

[00:13:12] So we run.

[00:13:13] Yes.

[00:13:14] Keep running.

[00:13:15] We need to find somewhere to regroup and arm up.

[00:13:17] Arm up?

[00:13:18] We've passed dozens of soldier remains,

[00:13:20] and their guns didn't seem to help them.

[00:13:21] Well, we have to do something.

[00:13:23] Fine.

[00:13:25] What are you...

[00:13:26] Are you serious?

[00:13:27] There's a heart attack.

[00:13:28] Armed.

[00:13:29] We need to get out of this tunnel.

[00:13:31] Well, all the side tunnels are huge, too.

[00:13:33] It'll just chase us.

[00:13:34] There.

[00:13:35] On the left.

[00:13:36] It won't fit.

[00:13:43] Are we deep enough?

[00:13:44] Yeah, keep going.

[00:13:45] Go further if you can.

[00:13:46] We have no idea what this thing looks like,

[00:13:48] and I don't want to get pulled out by a tentacle or whatever.

[00:13:51] A tentacle?

[00:13:52] Or whatever.

[00:14:22] For us.

[00:14:24] It's...

[00:14:25] getting old.

[00:14:37] Champagne problems.

[00:14:38] We could have been eaten by now.

[00:14:40] We also could have been home.

[00:14:42] What's the plan?

[00:14:43] No idea.

[00:14:44] We've been sitting in the dark since that thing blocked us in.

[00:14:47] No idea what it looks like,

[00:14:48] how big it is.

[00:14:49] What it likes to eat.

[00:14:49] Yeah, I get it.

[00:14:50] But we have to do something.

[00:14:53] Really?

[00:14:55] This bark is worse than my bite.

[00:14:57] I can't see the thing,

[00:14:58] and I already know we're outmatched.

[00:15:00] Hey, what happened to silver lining Noah?

[00:15:02] Well, he got jammed into a crevice

[00:15:03] and blocked in by a kaiju snake.

[00:15:04] There's no evidence it's a snake.

[00:15:06] Is that dragging sound stopped?

[00:15:08] No, but...

[00:15:09] What?

[00:15:11] No.

[00:15:13] But its body would have to be so long

[00:15:16] for the dragging sound to be at passing by.

[00:15:19] We're talking miles of snake.

[00:15:21] Unless it's weaving back and forth like an infinity sign.

[00:15:23] Where's its head?

[00:15:25] Somewhere in the mix?

[00:15:26] Somewhere in the mix.

[00:15:27] Doesn't exactly give me the confidence to come up with a plan.

[00:15:30] Makes you feel any better.

[00:15:31] We're only assuming it has a head.

[00:15:33] Yeah, that doesn't make me feel any better.

[00:15:34] Yeah.

[00:15:35] I actually feel worse, too.

[00:15:39] Could turn on the Walkman

[00:15:40] and go out there and tie that monster into a bow.

[00:15:42] Hercule style.

[00:15:43] We have no idea if I can even touch it.

[00:15:45] What if its skin is toxic

[00:15:46] or burns or has needles?

[00:15:48] You should test it because you heal.

[00:15:49] Yeah, but I still feel.

[00:15:52] So what if it hurts?

[00:15:53] Exactly.

[00:15:57] I could shoot at it.

[00:15:58] Could shoot at it.

[00:15:59] Is this from having to touch it?

[00:16:01] Plus, it already knows we're here.

[00:16:03] How much angrier can an already frustrated giant snake get?

[00:16:07] True.

[00:16:10] Let's hope this doesn't suck.

[00:16:11] I definitely pissed it off some more.

[00:16:20] What?

[00:16:21] No, it didn't work.

[00:16:23] Is there anything the archivist gave us that can help?

[00:16:27] What?

[00:16:28] Just give me your back.

[00:16:31] Bomb tied to the back.

[00:16:33] Careful for the bomb.

[00:16:34] What else?

[00:16:35] What else?

[00:16:36] Keys.

[00:16:37] Compass.

[00:16:39] Weird stick.

[00:16:41] Aha!

[00:16:42] Stoneblade.

[00:16:43] What are you going to do with that?

[00:16:45] You don't watch fantasy shows?

[00:16:47] Natural weapons always hold some sort of special power over monsters.

[00:16:51] That doesn't sound like fact.

[00:16:54] Neither does what we're going through.

[00:16:56] Here.

[00:16:56] Take your bag back.

[00:16:59] So, bullets didn't work, but your rock Rambo knife will?

[00:17:03] It's genuinely the only thing I can think that will work.

[00:17:06] I mean, why else would the archivist have given it to us?

[00:17:09] And I trust you.

[00:17:11] Hey!

[00:17:13] What you said!

[00:17:14] I can heal.

[00:17:15] Take that!

[00:17:24] Dragging stopped shortly after it took Noah.

[00:17:27] Took him.

[00:17:30] Hard to say if it grabbed him or he just got pulled along.

[00:17:33] I suppose it doesn't matter, though.

[00:17:35] Gone is gone.

[00:17:38] Huh?

[00:17:39] Keys.

[00:17:41] Guess this bag wasn't fully zipped up.

[00:17:43] I keep coming across this trail of dropped items.

[00:17:46] I'm now in possession of a water bottle, a shoe, and the set of keys the archivist gave us.

[00:17:53] Like a Hansel and Gretel trail of breadcrumbs.

[00:17:57] The thing is, I'm seeing a trail of blood, too.

[00:18:03] And this monster is bleeding.

[00:18:04] And if that can bleed, it can die.

[00:18:08] Pretty bold assumption, I know.

[00:18:10] But without Noah, I have to find my own silver lining.

[00:18:13] I don't even know what I'm doing.

[00:18:14] I mean, am I trying to find Noah?

[00:18:17] Find my way back to the stairs?

[00:18:19] Get out and get free?

[00:18:20] What?

[00:18:22] Hang on.

[00:18:23] There's something up ahead.

[00:18:25] An opening, maybe.

[00:18:31] Whoa.

[00:18:31] This tunnel connects with a much larger tunnel.

[00:18:34] I'm talking much larger.

[00:18:38] You could fly a 767 through here.

[00:18:41] But it's different than the tunnels.

[00:18:44] It looks more purpose-built.

[00:18:47] Straight as an arrow for as far as I can make out.

[00:18:50] And I see light fixtures?

[00:18:54] No light, mind you.

[00:18:55] But fixtures don't grow on wild caves.

[00:19:00] It's eerie.

[00:19:02] Really does feel like an underground runway.

[00:19:06] Like, feels like I've got to keep moving.

[00:19:11] Do I stick with the tunnels or do I detour on this road?

[00:19:14] The air is fresher here.

[00:19:16] No.

[00:19:17] No, that slithery son of a bitch kept going through the tunnels.

[00:19:21] And I'm sure I'll find some blood to verify.

[00:19:25] Is that a truck?

[00:19:26] It is.

[00:19:28] What the hell is a truck doing down here?

[00:19:31] What are the chances it's unlocked?

[00:19:36] Amazing.

[00:19:37] Oh.

[00:19:38] This is sick.

[00:19:40] Looks like the inside of a tank.

[00:19:42] What I think a tank looks like.

[00:19:45] Way more buttons than my 2010 sedan.

[00:19:49] Now, can I get lucky twice?

[00:19:51] Please tell me they left the keys.

[00:19:57] It even has a charge of my phone.

[00:20:08] Fucking Noah.

[00:20:10] Hope.

[00:20:11] Yeah, well, when you hope,

[00:20:13] you also open yourself up to disappointment.

[00:20:15] And this is a blow.

[00:20:17] I let myself think I was going to find the keys

[00:20:19] and drive off into the sunset.

[00:20:21] Moron.

[00:20:23] Now I'm sitting in a useless tin can,

[00:20:26] just defeated.

[00:20:27] Thank you, Hope.

[00:20:29] Just treat it like a video game

[00:20:30] and assume there's a way to win.

[00:20:32] What a load of...

[00:20:36] What if...

[00:20:38] It fits.

[00:20:41] And of course it doesn't work.

[00:20:43] I just need a...

[00:20:45] Give me a sec.

[00:20:49] Hmm.

[00:20:51] Do I dare?

[00:20:54] It work!

[00:20:56] Noah, I won't admit it to your face,

[00:20:58] but you're right.

[00:20:59] Now hold on.

[00:21:01] I'm coming.

[00:21:04] Truck has gas,

[00:21:05] lights,

[00:21:06] and I'm boogieing.

[00:21:09] Where are you?

[00:21:11] So, I figured it out.

[00:21:14] Half these buttons are for something that was being towed,

[00:21:17] so I'm guessing this is what brought the beast down here.

[00:21:20] Or something down here.

[00:21:22] Either way...

[00:21:23] Almost six days.

[00:21:29] Ignore it.

[00:21:34] What's your status?

[00:21:38] Screw them.

[00:21:48] Who's in this vehicle?

[00:21:49] What are they gonna do?

[00:21:50] Arrest me?

[00:21:51] I'm done letting them call the shots.

[00:21:54] I'm gonna find this snake.

[00:21:56] I'm gonna ram it at full speed.

[00:21:58] Then I'm gonna press play and kick its ass.

[00:22:02] I am done playing.

[00:22:05] Sarah?

[00:22:07] Sarah?

[00:22:08] Too busy talking to yourself to answer the radio?

[00:22:12] It's that woman.

[00:22:13] Who was testing on Noah.

[00:22:15] The one who killed Camilla.

[00:22:20] What do you want?

[00:22:21] And this little mission of yours before you get yourself killed.

[00:22:26] Noah's already dead, isn't he?

[00:22:29] Still save you.

[00:22:31] Save me?

[00:22:32] You're trying to kill me.

[00:22:34] I can promise you a better fate than that monster can give you.

[00:22:38] Your monster?

[00:22:39] Both options are still you screwing me over and I'm gonna choose option C.

[00:22:44] You're gonna get yourself killed.

[00:22:48] Strong enough to destroy the radio, but not smart enough not to.

[00:22:52] Fuck, that hurt.

[00:22:56] I see it.

[00:22:58] It's way in the distance, but I can see its writhing body.

[00:23:03] It's game time.

[00:23:08] Seatbelt?

[00:23:10] Let's boogie.

[00:23:12] Oh, I'm already regretting this.

[00:23:14] What if it doesn't work?

[00:23:15] Of course this will work.

[00:23:16] No, this is a 10,000 pound kick in the ass.

[00:23:20] As much as you want, you son of a bitch, because this is gonna hurt.

[00:23:30] Boom.

[00:23:31] So what are we thinking?

[00:23:33] The truck blew up?

[00:23:34] The beast blow up?

[00:23:36] Hell, everything blow up?

[00:23:37] I mean, there is a bomb still in the mix somewhere.

[00:23:41] And it also stands to reason that this truck could have been loaded with explosives too.

[00:23:45] Not like Sarah did a walk around before peeling out.

[00:23:48] So I'd love to hear what you think.

[00:23:50] As for me, I'm right smack dab in the middle of none of your business, waiting to see if our little crow friend really is following me.

[00:23:57] One way or another, I'm gonna close the chapter on me and this bird.

[00:24:01] And until then, I wait.

[00:24:03] Thank you all for tagging along on this journey and for Curious Cast for their never-ending support.

[00:24:08] I'll be back next week with some closure in another episode of Escaping Denver.
