Mom? Arna...
2:02
Who? What is
2:04
this? What's what? What
2:07
is this? Who put this here? Who
2:09
gave this to you? Whose
2:12
artifact is this? Mum, what are you
2:14
talking about? What artifact? This!
2:16
This! Whose
2:18
creeperverder is this? Where did you
2:21
get this? I don't know! Stop freaking out! It's not
2:23
mine! I don't even know what it is! What
2:25
are you so angry at? Arna,
2:29
dear, you can tell me
2:32
anything. I swear, anything! Where
2:34
did you get this? Did Helga bring
2:36
it? Or your Uncle Ticvy?
2:39
I don't know. I don't think so. It's
2:42
creepy, so I thought it was Gurnar's. Did
2:44
you see your brother with it? Did Gurna
2:46
leave it here? No! I just said it's
2:48
creepy, so I thought it was his. It
2:50
was like, yes! What's wrong
2:52
with it? It's just some weird doll.
2:54
Calm down, Mum. Arna,
2:57
this is... This
2:59
artifact is a very important piece of
3:01
history. And it needs to be in
3:03
a place where someone can keep an eye on it. It's
3:06
not a toy. It's not a doll.
3:09
You really don't know how it got here. No,
3:11
I have no idea. I
3:13
already said that. Are
3:16
you sure it's not just a joke or something? It
3:18
looks like those creepy things Gunner likes to draw
3:20
from those freaky internet stories. You
3:24
really don't know. You
3:27
stay here, rest, eat your snacks,
3:29
got some shows, relax. I'm
3:32
going to bring this Uncle Ticvy. He knows what to do
3:34
with it. How to take care of it. I'm
3:37
sorry. I'm not upset with you. I just
3:40
got really worried. Is
3:42
it really that important? What does
3:44
creepy really mean? Don't even think about
3:46
it. It's nothing. It's not important. It's
3:49
just a type of artifact. An
3:52
archaeological term. Like a real
3:54
artifact. What's it made out of? Bone?
3:58
Wait, I have something. Here,
4:06
put it in the shoe box. If
4:09
it's really old and made from bone, I should
4:11
be more careful if you can touch it. Your
4:14
hands could have oils to glue in it. That's
4:16
a great idea. Thank you, Orno. You
4:19
shouldn't touch an osu!lotsical aste fact. Or
4:22
a crime scene. Very
4:25
true. Okay,
4:27
have fun, relax, I'll
4:30
be home a little later. I'm just
4:32
going to swing it to town again. And remember,
4:35
don't do anything too strenuous. You
4:38
might feel okay, but head injuries
4:40
are serious, so just rest. This
4:43
is a great opportunity to be lazy. Don't
4:45
get many of those in life. I get it.
4:48
Chips, tea, natholics, I have no plans to
4:50
leave my bed. Good. Have
4:53
a nice evening. I'm
4:55
so happy you're home, Salve. You'll
4:58
never leave Iceland again. Ha
5:00
ha. And if you need anything, call
5:02
me. Anything worse happens, call
5:05
me. Weird? Like
5:07
a creepy artifact in my bedroom? Yes,
5:10
exactly so. Weird. Sure,
5:13
you'll be the first to know. But
5:15
really, Mum, someone has to be playing a prank
5:17
on you. Perhaps. See
5:20
you soon. Lock up if I'm not
5:22
home by 10. How?
5:49
How? How? Okay.
6:02
Okay, okay, it's
6:05
okay. I'm
6:33
sorry, but if you can't park here, this
6:35
area is reserved. I'm family. Move
6:37
it to the parking lot, man. I don't care. I need to
6:39
see Hilda.
6:43
I'm
6:46
going
6:50
to
6:53
speak
6:57
with Hilda. Really? Do you have
6:59
an appointment? No,
7:03
but I'm going to speak with her. You won't stop me,
7:06
but I'm not going to let you get away with it.
7:08
Away with what? Slow down,
7:10
please. Please. So this
7:12
cuts you open arms. Please, I can't help.
7:15
You can't help, Tigrid. Not right now. I
7:17
know you weren't a part of this. Of
7:20
what? It's all
7:22
these things. There's a lot to these
7:24
things, the- I don't care, but you
7:26
don't. All these rules and meetings are
7:28
bullshit. Someone left
7:30
this in Arka's room. A
7:33
creep, I believe. Who? I'm
7:35
going to speak with Hilda. Don't
7:38
tell her I saw you. Be serious, you
7:40
already knew. Hello.
7:43
Do you have an- Stop, stop.
7:45
You can't go in there. If you want an appointment-
7:47
I'm just family. Sit the hell down. I
7:50
haven't been there myself, but I hear only good
7:52
things. Oh, hello,
7:56
these. Oh, do you have another appointment?
8:00
I know we've run over. This has gone
8:02
exceedingly better than I originally presumed it could.
8:05
I had a lunch reservation, but I've certainly
8:07
missed it by now. Then let me walk
8:09
you out. I have a
8:11
great recommendation for your lunch. I'll
8:13
speak with my secretary and have her call
8:15
ahead of you. Make a quick reservation. Much
8:18
appreciated. The shore for taking so much of
8:20
your time. I'm glad that the project
8:22
is moving forward. Certainly worth the flight
8:24
out here. And of
8:26
course, if you have any follow-up questions,
8:29
we are always here to answer. If
8:32
your team has any rather technical questions,
8:34
I will direct them over to our technical department.
8:37
Oh, and the proposition for the hydro
8:39
project? Here on my desk. No
8:42
worries. Now, let's
8:44
get you out to that lunch. Please,
8:48
I'll be back to speak with you in a moment. Thank
8:52
you again. Hope you enjoy the rest of your
8:54
stay in Reykjavík. I'm sure I will. It's
8:57
been lovely. Check. Merde, vie, ravi.
9:00
Go on, afer. Well,
9:06
that meeting dragged on, but at least he's
9:09
finally gone. What
9:11
problems are you bringing me today,
9:13
please? This is meeting. Even now.
9:16
The work does not stop. Not even now.
9:19
Not even if I were the one ill. Now,
9:23
why are you here? And
9:25
with a shoe box? Because
9:27
someone left this on Arthas Wintersel.
9:30
This? She
9:33
isn't one of ours. Don't lie
9:36
to me, not about this. If
9:38
it's not yours, what does that mean? Who
9:41
sent it? I don't know. But
9:44
if we have a record of this Griepalwidir, we
9:46
can find out who she is. We
9:49
have a catalog, written descriptions of
9:51
all known Griepalwidir, as well as
9:53
which family members or which other families
9:55
they protect. But why
9:58
would another family send someone after Arthas? She's
10:01
a child. Plaguing her with anything is
10:04
fruitless. She, the Grippal
10:07
Wither, may just have been watching. Not
10:09
yet. I'm receiving junk food,
10:12
magic television. There's nothing useful
10:14
there, not for anyone. She's just
10:16
being a teenager. We don't
10:18
know what's really going on. You... Shh.
10:22
You really don't do you? Oh,
10:26
shit! Wait here. I'll
10:28
grab the catalog and we can try
10:30
to find out who she is. Don't take
10:33
your eyes off her. Who?
10:45
Remember, we
10:48
can solve it. The
10:52
only way. You!
11:16
Don't make a mess. Someone's gonna have to clean
11:18
it up. What?
11:21
That's what you do. I actually
11:23
make pretty good coffee, even in sunset. It's
11:27
just the end of our future. What?
11:32
What's the door? I
11:35
will. Sorry. Go back to sleep. Most.
12:06
Zero Zero Plus it's very
12:08
vulgar Numbers: You can do
12:11
the step you played into
12:13
the you from this. Who.
12:18
Were who who. You
12:22
ask for those usually nice woman
12:24
Really enthused isn't good. The bird
12:26
was. A messenger
12:28
surprised when she was feared movers
12:30
and Molson. I
12:36
think this mission. For stuff is. He.
12:41
Has written. A part of
12:43
a the company. Is
12:46
often not. Enter
12:50
the flow would help. Make
12:52
things easier sir. Hiding blood
12:54
of it is. Ah,
13:04
Yes, Clothes?
13:06
Yes, We. Have
13:09
angles like. You.
13:12
The North Way I'm from Fair and he
13:14
didn't sell. And
13:16
him when he gets back. And
13:20
new. Very I love
13:22
to do with. No
13:25
Assume that. Lowers
13:29
you have the along the
13:32
streets in shape already. We
13:34
is were. Female
13:37
you're from. And
13:39
a deal with your nieces and. I
13:42
know, research group and long
13:45
ah, no one's as a
13:47
thing. That
13:49
of. The way around that.
13:52
Would really. rather quick
14:02
And also when you do one day
14:04
and my work is done, I
14:08
was chosen to do this work. I'm
14:12
finally needed. Yeah,
14:18
I'm nearly there. Do
14:20
you hear? I'm
14:26
glad you said that. I'm
14:28
glad I could save you then and then I could save
14:31
you now. Your
14:33
life is timeless, but now
14:35
you have a purpose. She
14:37
gave me a purpose. Share
14:39
it, give it to you too. And
14:42
it is. And
14:44
you see, Louis? I remember.
14:48
Well, that was all real, Mika. Everything
14:52
Louis ranted about, I'd
14:54
suggest. We...we...we... put
14:59
him right... Move over. He
15:02
was in projects when the branches dropped and at my feet. Maybe
15:06
his life here was bad. He
15:10
used to. But
15:12
at least he was given purpose with his end.
15:16
I...do. I
15:19
did stumble those... about you all
15:22
coming into the ball park. But...
15:25
No, this was plenty then. Mika... She
15:29
knows what you're doing. I'm
15:31
scared. I.
16:08
Anyone hear me say. This,
16:17
and. Fire.
16:24
And the window blue of. Greece.
16:32
Service. Here's
16:38
an awesome. He.
16:40
Throws little less. Jesus
16:44
chosen to do the damn
16:46
window trade center. To
16:50
center. Was.
16:56
Severed Somebody. No. Me. Neither
17:55
series. What
18:00
was that? Adele?
18:03
Adele, get up. What?
18:08
I couldn't hear you. What's up? Adele,
18:10
you have to get up. Something's happening outside. Meekah
18:12
and Jason are gone. I think they went to check
18:14
on Lewis. That's where
18:16
the sound came from. I'm
18:18
going to see if they need help. You stay here, but
18:21
stay awake. No, I'm coming. I
18:24
don't want to be here by myself. Yeah.
18:28
Fine, but hurry up and get ready. They might need
18:30
help. Okay. Help?
18:40
The world? Hurry! It may be hurting.
18:42
No. Finally.
18:59
Where's Meekah? And Jason. Let
19:03
me out of these things. Where's Meekah
19:05
and Jason? Your
19:08
new friend, Jason, was
19:10
dragging your sister's body out. Saw
19:14
it there, through the window. What? Fire! I'm
19:18
not believing, but he's not going to save your sister.
19:21
Meekah! Come on. Don't
19:24
leave me here. At
19:27
least I'm tired. Stay near me. But
19:29
now it's too heavy. Don't go on the ice. It'll
19:33
be hard to know, so please be cautious.
19:35
Meekah! Meekah! Who
19:38
is that to be lying against? Why
19:41
would Jason do something like this? I
19:43
don't know. I don't think he's
19:46
lying. You
19:48
probably... I'm funny, sir.
19:52
Meekah! It's
19:54
her, Meekah! Meekah!
19:58
They're... Jason. Mina! What
20:01
the fuck? Mina! Yeah,
20:04
I'm hurt! I
20:06
didn't see a slave! Mina!
20:09
Stop! No! I
20:11
have to get over... No, Hadel, stop!
20:15
The X is floating out. We can't get to them.
20:17
I have to try! Mina! Mina,
20:20
wake up! I know
20:22
I'm me! You can't!
20:26
Jason! What are you doing? Jason,
20:29
what's wrong with Mika? Mina!
20:33
No! No! No, no, no, no, no!
20:35
No! No! No, Jason, stop!
20:39
What are you doing? Put her down! No! No! Why?
20:42
What are you doing? Jason! I
20:45
have to tell the water... I
20:47
have to wake up! Wait, wait, wait, wait. No! Wait, wait,
20:49
wait. She's in the water. If I... If
20:52
we go in, I can do it. I'll do
20:54
it. You don't have to. I'll give Mina
20:56
a water. Fucking blowing, Hadel. I'm
20:58
sorry you're not going in there. Sit
21:01
down there! I know! I'm
21:03
sorry! What
21:05
is happening? Why is it happening? We
21:09
need to go! We need to run!
21:11
And Mina... She
21:13
killed Mika! He'll come after us too! We
21:16
can't stay here! We have to go! Mina...
21:19
Mina... You won't go! I'm
21:22
a baby! I'll tell
21:24
you! Your sister was
21:26
a very nice person. What if
21:28
she's on? If she's not here for
21:30
this reason, she'll help her out. You
21:33
can't go! You
21:36
don't need to make a simple note. I
21:39
can bring you to your sister as soon as you like. She's
21:42
warm. And now, we just need... We
21:44
gotta go! You're not going to be here for me.
21:48
I can still see her! She's
21:50
in there, you people! And
21:52
now, please, please, I'm sorry. Mika's
21:55
unconscious and she's... She's under the ice! I know,
21:57
I know! You want to save her when we
21:59
can't... and get your E
22:02
not a D. We also have
22:04
your health pill with a disc and heading
22:06
towards us. Please listen to the pill. We
22:08
need to get to the church, to the
22:10
cud. We still
22:12
have a chance. We need
22:14
to go. I'm
22:17
sorry, like
22:19
you. I'm
22:22
sorry, like you. I'm
22:24
sorry, like you. God,
22:39
where's the cud? We're...
22:57
I'm so sorry, though. I'm
22:59
so sorry. We
23:02
didn't know. We could never
23:04
know. I'm so sorry.
23:07
I'll kill him! We
23:09
will. I swear we will. But
23:12
I... We
23:14
need to make sure you're safe,
23:16
okay? That's what Mika would want. That's
23:19
what she would do. So
23:21
please, please stay with me, okay?
23:25
She... She realized...
23:29
Hey, Jason never would have
23:31
called for help. That stirred light this
23:33
whole time, didn't he? Where...
23:36
where is it? We need to call for help. We can still
23:38
get help. Here.
23:44
Got it. in
24:00
need of immediate emergency
24:03
assistance. Please, please, please,
24:05
please, please, please, please.
24:08
Kill women in old Goshock in need of
24:11
immediate emergency assistance. Northwest Arasuk,
24:13
maybe northwest of Cataclysm somewhere near the
24:15
county line. Please, we are
24:17
in immediate danger. Please,
24:20
please, please, please.
24:26
Hello? Hello, can you hear me? Please,
24:28
we need help. People
24:31
are dying out here. This is an emergency.
24:35
I see you. What?
24:41
I see you. I
24:58
see you. Thank
25:28
you for listening. Hey,
25:57
it's Mae Whitman, and I play Frankie in the
26:00
in the new Realm Podcast, The Sisters. The
26:02
Sisters is about a museum curator
26:05
of medical oddities who investigates the
26:07
origins of a mutated skeleton with
26:09
two layers of bones. Seven
26:12
ribs are completely
26:14
fused. And you have
26:17
no idea where this came from? No, she
26:19
was sent here anonymously. Uh-uh, not
26:21
she. They,
26:23
maybe? Who, wait. I've
26:25
never seen anything like this. Soon,
26:28
she uncovers an extraordinary mystery
26:30
that connects her present with
26:33
one family's tragic past in
26:35
hauntingly dangerous ways. My grandfather
26:38
was a journalist back in the 60s and 70s.
26:41
He specialized in strange stories.
26:44
Who are they? How are they connected
26:46
to the skeleton? Play the tape. You'll
26:50
see. Listen to The Sisters wherever
26:52
you get your podcasts. We
26:54
dream about it. We both dream about
26:57
it. Every night.
