I think if you don't want to

2:59

do this, you should just say so.

3:00

No. I do. It's just I

3:02

I got a bunch of notifications. I wasn't sure

3:04

if there was some kind of Close

3:07

your computer,

3:08

turn over your phone.

3:10

Yeah. That's what was

3:13

happening to

3:13

Okay. I'm silencing mine too.

3:17

What? because it's something

3:19

we need to don't know. Something weird. We will

3:21

deal with it later. So

3:23

why don't we go downstairs? I'm

3:25

here. I've got the show sure. Let's just

3:27

Do do you want me

3:29

to read it to you? You don't have

3:31

to read it. I can read it. Well,

3:34

Well, I gave you one just like this weeks

3:36

ago. Did you read that one? I mean, I understood

3:38

the gist. It's some sort of retreat. for

3:41

rebuilding intimacy. Right.

3:44

That is the name of the course.

3:46

There isn't a thing like nobody watches

3:48

you have sex, do they? No. Graham -- Mhmm.

3:51

--

3:51

it literally said in the

3:56

Emotional intimacy. Intimacy doesn't

3:58

automatically

3:59

mean Okay. Okay.

3:59

Okay. Fine.

4:01

They they keep the group small, so

4:03

no more than eight couples. And

4:05

there's a series of structured activities

4:08

that Excuse

4:08

me? And

4:10

in the mountains or

4:12

Well, in a lodge. We're not hanging

4:14

for machine. Are we talking about this

4:16

seriously or

4:17

not? Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm really

4:19

trying. I'm taking it seriously. You

4:21

said it's us seven

4:24

other couples. It's all about, I

4:26

guess, multiple

4:29

perspectives. a strong

4:31

guiding voice to keep everyone on track,

4:34

something about breaking the cycle

4:36

of competitive resentment, Graham.

4:39

Sorry. No. I just noticed peripherally

4:42

It's something Just a a lot of our

4:44

neighbors are You

4:46

were saying resentment. Stopping

4:49

resentment. Breaking a cycle

4:51

of it. Look, if there's some reason

4:53

you can't focus on this. It's

4:55

just

4:56

What? I don't

4:57

know. Sitting around in some room

4:59

with seven other couples and

5:01

what? Some guru. Are you?

5:05

guys

5:05

spent a lot of time researching

5:07

this. This isn't some -- Right. -- and we say

5:09

private things to strangers

5:12

And then we have meals with food. put

5:14

so

5:14

much time into this. Can't we figure

5:16

this out just the two of us here at home?

5:18

been

5:18

just the two of us. Don't you think it would have happened

5:21

by now? You think this granola

5:23

shit is my first choice? Yeah. It sounds fucking

5:25

awful, but my fucking awful beats

5:27

your nothing.

5:29

What the hell is someone

5:32

hurt? What's happening? I think they're

5:34

they're reacting to something on their They're all

5:36

on their phones. Babe.

5:38

I think we should just to make sure

5:40

it's not Fine.

5:44

Wait. Is

5:45

Is your saying? This can't.

5:48

Jesus. This can't. There's a link to

5:50

a video. This

5:52

can't be right.

5:54

Right.

6:11

Give me

6:12

away episode one. Is

6:14

that thing screaming?

6:18

Members of the Army Corps of

6:20

Engineers Now assembling the

6:22

equipment, they'll be using in an

6:24

attempt to make an opening

6:26

in the already assessed portion of the structure.

6:29

Once again, six teen days

6:31

after the unidentified object

6:35

and after an extensive safety

6:37

assessment of the exterior. The modern

6:39

core of engineers is attempting

6:41

entry tonight. What's

6:44

again from the court's judgment? I mean,

6:46

I hope you never come home.

6:50

come home. And did you

6:53

like that? because if you weren't staying there, you'd

6:55

say I hope you never go home.

6:57

But I am. staying there. Graham,

6:59

I'm staying in your home

7:02

with

7:02

your wife -- Yeah.

7:04

-- whose body I've coveted

7:06

four years Yeah.

7:09

And not in a worshipful way. Either

7:11

no candles, no slow creases.

7:13

I'm talking foul dank

7:16

running that would shock the

7:18

conscience of a nation. Look,

7:20

if she sent you because

7:22

she she didn't send me, I'm just

7:24

saying that if she sent you She didn't

7:26

send me in the sense that

7:29

when I said, I'm I'm seeing Graham

7:31

at his hotel, she failed to say, don't

7:33

do that. And when I

7:35

return to your

7:37

home later tonight, she and I will

7:39

probably have a conversation about

7:41

our respective evenings and that's

7:43

you hitting your home extra hard

7:45

to see how I react. Damn

7:48

my flyroos. Like I'm supposed

7:50

to say not anymore or whatever. Is

7:53

that what you say?

7:54

It's impossible to tell. exactly.

7:56

But it's a team leader

7:59

who does see their

8:00

suspended use of the drill while

8:02

he or he examines the assessed area

8:04

on the

8:06

Travis, have

8:08

you ever genuinely felt

8:14

Okay.

8:14

Take you for example. I love where this

8:16

is going. You stay over the house so

8:18

often that Jamie's old room is basically

8:20

your room now. You're welcome.

8:23

I'm saying that between the nights you spend at our

8:25

place and a handful you spend at your place,

8:27

hey, does that kind

8:29

of look like it's opening by itself? So

8:32

it's unclear if what we're

8:34

seeing now is due to the efforts

8:36

of the team

8:37

or some other calls

8:40

Yeah. Ultimately, this whole conversation is

8:42

mood once the space hornets come

8:44

flying out. I guess I'm

8:46

saying between our place and your place. Do

8:48

either of those make you feel,

8:50

I don't know,

8:53

grounded, like, you've land

8:55

it like this is my

8:57

reset? Are you trying to say

8:59

at home? I'm

9:01

trying to zero in on what

9:03

that means. what at

9:05

home means. Well, if you're so

9:07

confident, which of the two places you currently

9:09

sleep makes you feel like that? It does sort

9:11

of look like it's open and bugged. self. because you

9:13

say, I hope you never come home. Of course,

9:15

it makes me picture coming home. But when I picture

9:17

that, it doesn't seem like going home.

9:19

It seems like going to

9:21

a place. and I don't.

9:31

Is it screaming? Can you just

9:33

drawing back for the open?

9:35

Is

9:37

that thing screaming? Okay.

9:41

Okay. So do you have any

9:44

questions for us or

9:44

or anything we can? I can't

9:46

hear you. Sorry.

9:48

I was saying if you have any

9:50

question to Sora. I cross dressing

9:52

mom. Okay. Is that okay? I'm cross

9:54

dressing. Is

9:56

Jamie

9:56

okay? That's

9:58

your first question.

9:59

No. It's just you're

10:02

the one sitting here. I can see how

10:04

you're doing. Jamie.

10:06

Jamie is

10:07

You could always call her if Wait.

10:09

How are we doing? So

10:13

okay. Okay.

10:16

Jamie, sit down. It's fine for her to

10:18

pace if she wants to. Jamie, sit

10:20

down. Just talk to them? We're talking to them

10:22

next week after their midterms. Whoa.

10:24

Wait a. Is the pronouns dad? I

10:27

feel like I've been doing okay for

10:29

a while.

10:30

So you thought you

10:31

both thought the best way to break this

10:34

to me, please sit down. It's hard

10:36

to hear you from The best best way to

10:38

completely fuck with my equilibrium. Like,

10:40

tell me you're getting divorced.

10:41

Yay. Your mom's right. It's really hard to hear

10:43

you.

10:43

It's too ambush me at my place of

10:45

business. Isn't your shift over? I

10:47

wanted to see where you work. A

10:49

roadside ice cream stand. You can just

10:51

use your imagination.

10:54

dad. Make sure this day is okay. I'm

10:56

still sort of honing my mixology. You

10:59

know you can still count on us for anything

11:01

you need. Right? And

11:02

I appreciate that. What's a

11:05

verdict, dad? What?

11:08

It's

11:09

just how you said it. I

11:11

appreciate that. like, that's

11:13

sweet, but I probably

11:14

won't. That's good though. Right?

11:17

You're

11:17

the ones going through a thing. It should

11:19

be me saying that to you. you

11:21

can count on me for anything you need.

11:24

Well well, that's

11:27

Thank you. Sweetheart. So

11:30

Should

11:31

we talk logistics? Where's

11:34

everybody living now?

11:37

So what am I

11:39

doing? Christmas at moms in the more and

11:41

the dad at night. Like, how was the rest of fucking

11:43

life supposed to work now? Jamie.

11:46

Okay. You're an

11:48

adult. Like, I'm not dealing with enough already.

11:50

There's a goddamn screaming spaceship in the

11:52

Nevada desert. Everything we know about

11:54

the universe fuck. Well,

11:55

technically, everybody's dealing with

11:57

that. Did you see the footage when

11:59

they let the news cruise in? Alright.

12:02

you're obviously to flex.

12:04

We should go somewhere else. These

12:06

cars are just There

12:07

was no one inside, no green

12:09

men, no Balkans, nothing and it's

12:12

screaming anyway.

12:20

Do the

12:23

chairs stay out? Or

12:25

No. Barely enough room for customers as

12:28

it is. second in the back.

12:30

But, Graham, you don't have to clean

12:32

up. Oh, it's not a problem. You're the only

12:34

one who read the book. You shouldn't have

12:35

to. I enjoyed it.

12:38

It was It was different.

12:38

From what? From your usual

12:41

Yeah. I tend to

12:43

read more Stuff with c l

12:45

team in the title. I

12:47

don't know that one, but yeah, thrillers

12:50

basically. And I think that just sort

12:52

of makes me

12:53

go away. road

12:54

to autumn is definitely not

12:56

that. No. But I like

12:59

that. I like sort of how many go

13:01

deep

13:01

into like, Like,

13:04

if

13:04

you told me it's just a whole story about

13:06

someone finally admitting something, like

13:08

Not

13:08

even to someone else to themselves.

13:11

Right.

13:11

I would never read something based

13:13

on that description, but

13:15

now

13:15

that I have

13:18

Sorry you were the only one. Yeah.

13:20

I mean, I get it.

13:22

Shit. I barely read it.

13:24

Like, my eyes moved over the words,

13:26

but Yeah.

13:27

It's a weird

13:28

time. Look. Total

13:31

transparency,

13:31

Graham. That's

13:33

what

13:33

book clubs mostly been since it

13:35

landed. talking

13:37

about the ghost house. Is that

13:39

weird how that name just stuck? Like,

13:41

somebody said it twice on cable and

13:44

now that's the name. forever.

13:46

I guess with

13:48

the screaming. It doesn't even

13:49

look like a house. It just looks like

13:51

a big block of nothing. Inside

13:54

too, it turns out.

13:55

Well, right. The livestream, I thought maybe

13:57

that's why people were talking about it so much today.

14:00

But I thought

14:02

maybe after whatever

14:04

the novelty wears on.

14:06

Divorce. Right? Excuse

14:08

me? or separated? Yeah.

14:11

Separated. How two

14:13

ways we get men in book

14:15

club with their wives or

14:17

really not with their wives.

14:21

Right.

14:23

I I didn't I just I I don't wanna misrepresent.

14:26

Okay? I if you wanna hang out with

14:28

people offline, maybe even meet

14:30

somebody, then Yeah.

14:32

But if you seriously wanna

14:34

talk about books, it's

14:36

gonna be a while before that's not just a

14:39

pretext.

14:41

It's

14:41

aliens.

14:44

Graham, you're

14:47

already settling up. Hey, Patrice, I'm

14:49

not leaving. I'm just gonna pay.

14:51

And then I totally caught you

14:53

leaving without saying goodbye. No. No.

14:55

No. I swear. I go forward. just

14:57

forever. How

15:00

dare you? Oh,

15:02

okay. You're giving me shit. You

15:04

can't leave Graham. The only one here was

15:06

not shaken. He's done for details. Oh,

15:09

you're fancy new job. I'm like,

15:11

guys, this isn't some NDA.

15:13

This is prison forever.

15:16

Totally. No. I'm not It's

15:19

Allan. What? Human shield

15:21

gram. Get me back. The lady of the

15:23

hour. Thanks, Allan. Thank

15:25

you. The departing superstar.

15:27

What are you drinking, Alan?

15:29

Actually, the lady and the

15:31

man of the hour. what did

15:33

I do? Look at this guy being

15:36

modest. You got

15:38

single again. Oh, well,

15:40

that's level with me man. What's

15:42

it like? to rejoin the

15:44

actual world. I'll see you guys back at

15:46

the table. See, here's what's wild to

15:48

me, Beatrice. We're both Ivy

15:50

League. We're at the same firm, same specialty,

15:53

same pay grade. Hey, Alan. Why don't we grab a

15:55

drink? But you're the one going to

15:57

the ghost house that I'm the one

15:59

staying here. What's the difference

16:01

between you and me?

16:03

You must know you're pulled right up to

16:05

something you don't wanna say. Why do they

16:07

need a storage analyst on space ship

16:09

anyway. ET doesn't use the same

16:11

processors we do. Right? Once

16:13

again. Top secret. Right.

16:15

Right. you can know, but I

16:17

can't. Okay. I'm

16:19

out. Seriously, Alan,

16:21

let's do a round on me. Anything you want.

16:23

You should fuck that bartender. Via.

16:26

Yeah. She's pretty god

16:29

that age on a woman when everything's

16:31

just. If

16:35

like some genie told me I could fuck

16:37

that bartender once, but it meant I couldn't see

16:39

my kids for a month, I

16:41

would do it. No.

16:42

You think

16:43

that now, but if you went a whole day

16:46

without seeing But you could you could

16:48

literally fuck that bartender

16:50

tonight. Yeah. No.

16:53

I I don't think I dream about my

16:55

kids growing up and moving out. You know

16:57

that? Other parents are like, they grew up

16:59

so fast and missing at all. And

17:01

I'm like, really? because in my house,

17:03

it feels like it's been a hundred years.

17:06

Alan, seriously, bottom

17:08

of my heart, you're wrong. Please

17:10

fuck her, Graham. Take her

17:13

home and fuck her so I know

17:15

some other life is possible.

17:19

Once

17:19

again for those just joining us, Nevada task

17:21

force director, Brooke Harris, speaking

17:24

to reporters this morning regarding the

17:26

team's working theory on

17:28

the nature of the ghost

17:30

house. So at this time, having

17:32

interfaced with the onboard computer for

17:34

some weeks now, it is

17:36

our

17:36

hypothesis that it

17:38

functions as sort

17:39

of penitentiary

17:40

mainframe, a prison

17:42

inside a computer,

17:45

which

17:45

means those screams are being generated in

17:47

some way by inmates. Whose

17:50

minds we

17:50

believe have been converted and

17:53

uploaded into this mainframe as

17:54

some form of non transferable

17:57

data, effectively

17:58

imprisoning them

17:59

indefinitely. meaning they're trapped

18:02

forever. Unless we

18:03

can make the non transferrable,

18:06

well, transferrable.

18:17

Okay, folks.

18:23

This is the main attraction.

18:25

The best view of

18:26

the ghost house in its

18:27

entirety. This is

18:28

why we've been walking all

18:30

day. So we're gonna

18:33

hang out here for about an

18:35

hour. plenty of time

18:35

for pictures, video, selfies, grab a

18:38

bite if you're hungry, and we've

18:39

got porta potties up there. Any

18:43

questions,

18:43

come find me. Once again,

18:45

my name is Halle. And in sixty

18:47

minutes sharp,

18:48

we'll be moving on.

18:51

Do you mind holding my pack

18:53

while I get out my gear? Oh, sure.

19:01

All good.

19:02

Thanks. No

19:03

problem. Are

19:06

you not? Mhmm.

19:08

taking any photos? Or

19:11

Oh, no. I

19:12

just wanted to see it or hear it,

19:14

I guess. Me too. Oh,

19:16

right. Is all that equipment? just

19:21

podcast ear. Mhmm. That's why

19:22

I took the guide gig. I'm

19:24

doing a series on the ghost house.

19:26

and

19:26

you don't need visuals for that. Honestly,

19:29

the audio is the best part.

19:31

I mean,

19:32

look at that thing. These

19:34

people are

19:34

all going home with pics of a big

19:37

gray slab, but the

19:39

sounds are

19:40

amazing. You

19:41

don't think so? I just don't know

19:44

if that's the word. What

19:46

word would you use for screams from outer

19:49

space? I don't know. It's On

19:50

the

19:52

news, the screams are like

19:54

something out of like one of those sound effects tapes they

19:56

use in haunted houses, but standing here

19:59

now. More vivid. Right?

20:02

It's just so much clearer what

20:04

they're screaming for.

20:08

Well,

20:08

I mean, hopefully the task force

20:10

can

20:10

-- Yeah. Yeah. -- get them

20:12

onto other computers or whatever

20:14

they It's just

20:17

strange to beat

20:19

hiking, just pleasantly hiking.

20:22

right next to something that's screaming.

20:24

You think you could sail

20:26

that again? What? What you just said?

20:29

Could you say it all again into the mic?

20:37

You're okay.

20:39

You're fine. You're fine.

20:46

You're okay.

20:51

You're

20:54

fine.

20:54

You you're fine.

20:57

Graham, are

21:00

you alright?

21:11

Yeah. Sorry. I'm I'm

21:14

sorry. I didn't mean to you

21:17

just For a second,

21:18

it sounded like you might be hurt or

21:20

I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm sorry. I

21:22

was in there too long. I No. It's not

21:24

at all. I'm sorry. I went in first without,

21:27

you know, checking to It's

21:29

really fine, Graham. No. It's just

21:31

I was married for twenty six years

21:33

and we had Wow. The stickers are

21:36

in. Sorry, God. I

21:38

just I don't know how

21:39

you like to do this

21:42

part. Well, first of

21:44

all,

21:44

probably hit

21:46

the bathroom. Great.

21:48

Great. It's it's all yours. Oh,

21:50

and can you figure out the TV? I

21:52

wanna see the news. Sounds like something happened with

21:54

the ghost

21:55

house. Oh, sure. We'll do.

21:59

But

21:59

it became

21:59

almost immediately clear that it was

22:02

a terrible mistake. That there was

22:04

no

22:04

buttered a well intentioned mistake.

22:07

Surely. I'm not sure how much intentions

22:08

matter when you've consigned a

22:11

sentient being to a

22:13

worse distance and the one you freed them from. Oh, is it on?

22:16

Worse, meaning less space.

22:18

Our goal

22:19

was to alleviate the prisoners

22:22

suffering by

22:22

transferring it to what we thought was in terror

22:25

by terms of larger space.

22:28

But in practice,

22:28

we've done I can't believe how open they're

22:30

letting her be about this. Yeah. I guess

22:32

that's Diaz' whole deal, but This is the

22:34

process reversible. We don't believe no.

22:37

So there's

22:37

no way. Sometimes, you just have

22:40

to live with mistakes,

22:42

even awful ones. The best we can

22:44

do at this point is hope to

22:45

do better. He's sleeping in prison. He can't deal

22:47

with her. He still used to spin. Excuse me.

22:49

I wanna hear this. Oh. And --

22:52

Sorry. -- is there? a

22:54

plan in place for that? In my

22:56

view, it starts with being humble. By

22:58

admitting we can't make a quantum

23:00

leap

23:00

in technology just because

23:01

we want to. That sounds like giving up. Not at

23:03

all. It simply means taking an honest

23:05

look at what we were trying to achieve. Okay.

23:08

Now she's playing. Please It's

23:10

been determining if that

23:12

suggests a holistic solution

23:14

that our arrogance wouldn't let us see before.

23:16

Such as Well,

23:18

think

23:18

about it. Is there

23:20

any other piece of machinery out there

23:23

currently in use widely available

23:25

that can store a

23:27

consciousness? Harris'

23:29

interview has already

23:31

elicited strong reactions in Washington.

23:33

Are

23:34

you okay? Yeah.

23:36

You just seemed No.

23:38

It was just interesting. So

23:41

no Is

23:46

there any

23:48

version of this where I rest

23:50

my head on your chest and you

23:52

don't read into it?

23:53

Oh, do you want

23:56

to?

23:56

If you're gonna flip

23:57

out or decide you're in love, I'd

24:00

rather

24:00

not. I

24:02

just want it to be a nice

24:03

thing. Yeah. Yeah.

24:06

That's yeah.

24:08

Here. Let me just

24:11

All good?

24:16

Yeah. Definitely.

24:19

This is nice. It

24:23

is.

24:38

Is there any way we

24:39

can make this quick? Were you

24:40

asleep? No. But I have

24:42

found the hopes in that direction. I can

24:44

go back

24:45

in the morning. Doesn't sound like

24:47

it. His Travis

24:49

there? Sprawled out naked

24:50

on a bed. Should I put him

24:53

on?

24:53

Yeah. Okay. I'm actually

24:56

watching the the oh, from

24:59

the ghost house. I'm watching them prep

25:01

that poor woman for what

25:03

alien brain injection? Well,

25:06

poor woman. She's the director of the

25:08

whole entire Heading from the front, you gotta

25:10

hand it to her. She

25:12

must be terrified. You

25:15

gotta look terrified. She

25:16

looks as plasically neutral as

25:19

everyone else on this stream. I know

25:21

it's becoming the overused joke,

25:23

but who knew how would be president

25:25

Diaz and his famous transparency.

25:27

Now we know why things got classified

25:29

in the first ways. They were too tedious for public

25:32

consumption. I could come over. I'm

25:34

not trying to I

25:36

don't mean sex. I'm just

25:39

It could just be like, I could just I

25:41

could come over. Graham,

25:46

I

25:46

think it we're doing this, we have to

25:48

really do it. We're too old for

25:50

sort of. I'm not sinned.

26:05

kiddo. Dad. Come here. What? Come

26:08

here. Come here. Yeah. Hold on. I'm almost

26:10

over. What? What is it? You stay

26:12

in the aftermath. something

26:14

like this. There's -- Oh

26:15

my god. -- a tremendous adjustment

26:19

process. Crude Harris, two very

26:21

different people. needing to

26:23

reconcile one space. It worked. I

26:25

mean, one space meaning

26:27

your mind. Our mind.

26:30

Yes. And by extension our

26:32

body, this is now a vessel of

26:34

our two. I can't,

26:36

right? So at this moment, I

26:39

am addressing director

26:41

Brukeris and And

26:43

Deirdre, my second.

26:45

And Deirdre is listening right

26:47

now. She is and she has a

26:49

message. This is nuts. Oh,

26:52

please. Theodore speaking, I

26:55

have so many things to say, but

26:58

for now, I'll restrict myself

27:00

to this.

27:02

Thank you. Thank you for

27:05

setting me free. Thank

27:07

you for

27:07

Brook. Thank you

27:10

for my new home. my

27:11

god. Look

27:12

around. You must feel pretty proud right now.

27:14

Everyone in the quad is watching this.

27:16

They'll feel proud when

27:18

and the rest of the prisoners are free.

27:22

So

27:25

do

27:26

you wanna get lunch off campus this

27:29

or Okay. I can feel

27:31

you burning to ask. No. No.

27:33

I'm not. I called her. And

27:35

the end

27:36

and it was unbearably stilted, like

27:38

we were set up on a sibling blind date by

27:40

our dad, which we were. Look,

27:43

I know it's not fun, but Regular check ins

27:45

are key. Okay. But regular check ins

27:47

require the participation of both parties.

27:49

Right. But even

27:51

voicemails, even if they're not returned, just

27:53

so she a structure. Okay. It is

27:55

just

27:55

slightly weirding me out that it sounds like you're leaving

27:57

her to

27:58

me in your will.

27:59

I am kind of. You're gonna live a

28:02

lot longer than me. Sure. And when

28:04

Jamie's in trouble as much as possible, I'm

28:06

gonna be there. but I'm not actually

28:08

qualified to be my older siblings guidance

28:10

counselor, and I'd kinda love

28:10

it if we could ever talk about other

28:13

stuff. I'm

28:15

sorry, you're right.

28:18

I don't mean to.

28:19

What about the aliens? We could

28:21

talk about them some more. Sure. Or

28:25

You.

28:25

What is

28:26

there to say about me? I mean,

28:29

you're

28:30

the expert.

28:40

Oh, you

28:46

lost, sad, stressed?

28:49

money abandoned by your friends, crushed under

28:51

the

28:51

cruel eel of modern life. Stick an

28:54

alien in your brain. inject

28:56

an alien direct play into your

28:58

brain. Is anybody left behind by

29:00

the global economy? Alien.

29:01

All of them. I'm going to the kitchen if anybody

29:04

Your favorite show got canceled. Brain,

29:06

me. Daily. Well, you guys are doing

29:08

your things. Who did they seriously think

29:10

is gonna sign up for this? Are

29:12

you kidding? What? like, there's hordes of

29:15

people who watched alien and thought John Hertz was

29:17

aspirational.

29:17

There's so many people out there who

29:20

are either lonely or like those

29:22

women who marry men on death row. Yep. But but they

29:24

don't have to live with a guy in their

29:26

brains. They just have to write him some

29:28

letters. They've often thought of

29:29

you as one of those women Travis.

29:31

which makes you. Well, the inmate I can

29:33

never touch. I mean, people might be

29:35

doing it for the given reason. Right?

29:38

Sorry? to save

29:40

someone from an online prison.

29:42

I'm

29:42

sure most of the people who do it will

29:45

say. That's the reason, but something,

29:47

this radical, this irreversible,

29:49

no one would do that for an abstraction.

29:51

What would you do? For an abstraction.

29:54

Well, really do need to hit the bathroom. So Are

29:56

you leaving? No. Not right away. I'm I'm

29:58

just going to But you're winding up

29:59

to leave. Not

30:02

anytime soon.

30:18

you know. You know, you've

30:20

been six nights in a row. Guys, if I

30:22

was overstaying my welcome, you could not just Tell

30:24

you should just know. you're

30:26

an adult. It's not normal. You

30:29

should be able to figure that out by

30:31

yourself and not force me. Just just

30:33

say and let me help you with the

30:35

dishes. Just a dish it. and then it's

30:37

Travis's

30:46

31:02

31:04

from the server. Thanks.

31:35

How

31:35

have you been up? I

31:38

was gonna make some breakfast, but

31:40

then I thought I should ask

31:43

first. Yeah. That's Yeah.

31:47

Probably not. Will you

31:51

be okay with work? Yeah. It's

31:53

all fine. Can you send Jamie some

31:55

money? We're fighting. I don't know if she'll take it for me right

31:57

31:59

send

31:59

her some.

sake. Okay.

That's his hotel, straight

32:22

ahead. So he moved into

32:24

that almost two years

32:26

ago, and he never tried to

32:28

find

32:28

another home. Will you give me a chance to

32:30

persuade you? Let's

32:34

see him. Hello,
