9
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:21.840
Hello, my spookies, It's Saturday, the fourth day of Spooky Season,

10
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.599
and I'm your host and narrator, Enrique Kuta, here to

11
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.040

12
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.959
the spirit of the season. Tonight's story is all about

13
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:40.280
strange turns of fate and revenge. But before we get

14
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.680

As for tonight, what if the cure that saved your

32
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.280
life took the rest of it away? A research lab

33
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.680
with locked doors, promise of tomorrow and a secret that

34
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:08.479
should have stayed buried When Halloween comes to Strickfield, a

35
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.560
girl in a crown steps out of the darkness, and

36
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.639
some warnings are not meant to be read in time

37
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.039
to save you. So get cozy as we bring you

38
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.879
this urban legend reimagining for your spooky season. After this

39
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:41.360
aids Mary, patient zero by Rob Fields seven years ago,

40
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.800
cancer Seriously where does it come from? Has it plagued

41
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.520
life as we know it since the days of the Bible?

42
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.560
All I knew was cancer ran in my family for

43
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.240
as long as I could remember. I had a grandparent

44
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.759
on each of my parents sides that had it and died.

45
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.840
Last year, I lost my mom to uterine cancer. Dad

46
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.840
got prostate cancer but was saved through surgery. He's still

47
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.560
cancer free today. I kept wondering how long it would

48
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.360
be before cancer would finally catch up to me. Unfortunately,

49
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.639
I got my answer when I just turned eighteen and

50
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:33.800
was diagnosed with both breast and uterine cancer. Clearly, both

51
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.079
of my cancers were killing me, since they had progressed

52
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:42.120
that quickly to where surgery or chemotherapy couldn't save me,

53
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.319
and I wasn't even out of high school. Knowing my

54
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.800
days were numbered, Dad did everything he could for me.

55
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.120
He even took me on a few vacations. I didn't

56
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.399
want to die, but at least i'd do it on

57
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.040
my own time. I think I just accepted my situation

58
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.879
and was living every day like it was my last.

59
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.680
At least i'd go knowing Dad was there with me.

60
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.879
Then one day Dad came home with news that changed everything.

61
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.319
He was reading the newspaper at Miran Technologies where he

62
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.560
was working, and saw his own place of employment had

63
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.360
created a possible cancer cure. They were conducting a study

64
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.160
and were looking for willing participants. Dad talked to his

65
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.279
boss and told him about me. I won't force you

66
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.120
to go if you don't want to, Mary, he said,

67
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.759
but I got you a spot in the study. I

68
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.240
wasn't expecting anything, but I wanted to live, and so

69
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.920
did Dad. Now Here I am. I've been living here

70
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:02.199
at Miran Technologies for almost two months now. It's getting

71
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:08.240
close to Halloween weekend. I've been getting injections and undergoing tests.

72
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.079
I get free room and board and all the comforts

73
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.879
of home here. Also, Dad and my friends can come

74
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.560
and see me during my off time. The only other

75
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.000
downside to being a guinea pig is I ain't allowed

76
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.480
to leave here without supervision. Unfortunately, Dad alone don't count.

77
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.879
One of the doctors here has to accompany me. As

78
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.240
much as I hate not being allowed to leave, I

79
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.040
can't be too ungrateful. To date, the anti cancer g

80
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:47.800
treatments have both stopped and killed my breast cancer continued testing.

81
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.480
Said I'm cancer free. There, I did have to get

82
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.439
breast surgery anyway to repair the damaged tissues and remove

83
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.240
the dead growths. In the process. The technicians us used

84
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.879
their advanced medical techniques to rebuild my inner breasts to

85
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.600
replace what had been taken. They even healed me up

86
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:15.199
no stitches or bandages. Seriously, what Mirran Technologies does here

87
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:21.319
is truly groundbreaking. So far, the breast reconstructions have taken

88
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.000
and adapted well to my natural tissues. Also, it's all

89
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.319
covered with being in the study. Even though I'm breast

90
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.600
cancer free now, the uterine cancer is still fighting the treatments.

91
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.360
The cancer's only been slowed down, and the cells themselves

92
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.120
ain't dying. The doctors assure me this won't be a problem.

93
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.920
We'll soon be trying out an updated version of the

94
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.959
anti cancer g serum we've been giving you, one of

95
00:07:52.000 --> 00:08:02.560
them told me. Days later, I'm secured naked to a

96
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:08.120
table where these technicians are using their special scanners. According

97
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:13.199
to the tech explaining the process, the scanners literally decode

98
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.399
my DNA and deduce what the cancers are doing. Even

99
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:23.000
though deep down I'm not really a trusting person, Mirror

100
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:28.000
Technologies seems to be fully transparent on what they're doing

101
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:32.919
with us. Just as the scanner's being started, I'm seeing

102
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:38.279
this person who keeps looking at me. The scanning mechanisms

103
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.960
fully cover my growin and my breasts, still the way

104
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.320
this guy keeps looking at me. I heard a few

105
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.000
of the technicians call him Lawrence. He's more of an

106
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:55.840
assistant or gopher or something. It ain't the first time

107
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.440
Lawrence has seen me naked. I caught him looking at

108
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:04.440
me and I finished showering after my breast reconstruction surgery

109
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.840
was over. While I was very appreciative at what Mirror

110
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:14.320
Technologies had done in reconstructing my breasts, I think Lawrence

111
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:19.440
appreciated them way more than me. I knew he wouldn't

112
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.960
try anything with all the doctors and technicians here. When

113
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.159
I was alone in my room, my door was locked.

114
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.840
Unless he had my key card or the passcode, I

115
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:36.279
was safe. I knew if I wasn't careful, Lawrence would

116
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:41.159
corner me and do who knows what with me. I

117
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.000
didn't come to Mirror Technologies for the study just so

118
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.399
some creepy pervert could attack me and rape me. But

119
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:55.159
I couldn't just leave here. The anti cancer g treatments

120
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.480
cured my breast cancer, and I felt deep down I'd

121
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.559
also cured of my uterine cancer. I just had to

122
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:08.000
be patient with Mirran technologies some more, I only wanted

123
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:13.519
to live both for me and for Dad. After losing Mom,

124
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.120
I'm all Dad's got now. I'm willing to risk Lawrence

125
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:32.120
if it means leaving here completely cancer free this coming weekend,

126
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.120
Halloween's on Saturday. I hope I can get out of

127
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.559
here and be able to do some fun things. I've

128
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.279
been trying to arrange to where I can spend time

129
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.759
with my dad and what few friends I got left.

130
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.559
Many of them showed their true colors when they kept

131
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.360
making excuses for not coming to see me. A few

132
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.080
of them remained loyal, though, and visited often. Still, I'm

133
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.120
just itching to leave here for a few days and

134
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:08.960
enjoy Halloween. I don't think that's asking too much. Fortunately,

135
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.159
there's a few doctors here that are sympathetic to my request.

136
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.960
They both told me I've been a good patient and

137
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:22.960
test subject, and said getting Halloween off shouldn't be an issue.

138
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.440
I'm in my room watching a Halloween special on TV.

139
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.320
When I hear the chime, I go to the door

140
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.919
to check the monitor.

141
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.600
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.

142
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.720
When I let doctor Leonard Shaw in, He's smiling from

143
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.360
ear to ear. Great news, Mary. He takes my hand

144
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.320
and holds it. First. The scans we did on you

145
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.759
earlier this morning are showing the new anti cancer h

146
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.720
treatments are working against your uterine cancer. We're keeping a

147
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.879
close eye on it, but I truly believe we'll cure

148
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:12.080
you of cancer once and for all. I'm thinking maybe

149
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.960
another week of treatments at best, you should be normal again.

150
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.960
I gasp and yank my handback to give him a

151
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.360
huge hug. Thank you. He hugs me back. Then he

152
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.080
keeps going with the good news. Also, I've spoken with

153
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.200
the other doctors conducting the treatments. They don't see any

154
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.879
reason why you shouldn't be able to enjoy Halloween with

155
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:44.080
your friends. He raises his finger. You'll still have to

156
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.960
have one of us with you to monitor your progress.

157
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:52.000
In fact, I'll personally be going with you. You'll get

158
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.000
Friday and Saturday for Halloween, just like you ask, but

159
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.960
you must return here on Sunday. I hope that's agreed.

160
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.679
I can't help myself and hug him again again. He

161
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.639
hugs me back. Lastly, doctor Shaw got Laurence reassigned and

162
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.159
said he shouldn't bother me anymore. I know doctor Shaw

163
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.440
is not my dad, but he's treated me like a

164
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.919
second father. I know he had a daughter he lost

165
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.600
to a brain tumor. He said, that's why he dedicated

166
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:33.120
himself to this research and this study. When doctor Shaw

167
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.000
and me finished talking, he leaves. When I'm sitting down

168
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.159
at my computer, I look at emails on my personal

169
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.200
account here from doctor Shaw. I open them to see

170
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:49.480
my test results and cry from joy. I can't wait

171
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.919
to fully have my life back. Even though doctor Shaw

172
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.320
gave me the absolute best news of my life today,

173
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.480
it wasn't going to be long before it all went

174
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:11.120
to shit fast. The next night, Tuesday, Dad dropped by

175
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.159
to visit while he was working and gave me the

176
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.759
things I asked for to make my Halloween costume as

177
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:22.919
a princess. After getting today's treatments, I'm spending some quality

178
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:27.320
time working on my costume. I eventually get thirsty and

179
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.279
decide to get a soda out of the vending machines.

180
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.279
I leave my room and go to the elevator. Normally

181
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.360
we're allowed to leave our rooms and walk around our floor.

182
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:42.159
We can also go a few other select places, including

183
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.600
the vending areas. Our key cards give us free stuff

184
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.799
out of the machines as part of our study perks.

185
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.120
When the elevator opens, I get in and push the

186
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.200
button to go down one floor. I'm so excited about

187
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.840
being able to leave here for two nights for Halloween

188
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.720
that when the elevat doors open again, I don't see

189
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.759
someone shooting right into the car with me until it's

190
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.879
too late. Lawrence grabs me and shoves me into the

191
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.039
back of the car. The back of my head hits

192
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.039
hard and dazes me. Lawrence quickly closes the door and

193
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.080
starts the elevator. It moves a little before he hits

194
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.200
the emergency stop. Lawrence glares at me, Now you're all mine.

195
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.200
We're gonna have so much fun. I try fighting him off,

196
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.080
but I ain't no fighter. Lawrence slams the back of

197
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.519
my head into the elevator car wall, again, dazing me.

198
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.679
Then he punches me in the face to where I

199
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:53.200
can barely comprehend what's going to happen next. I'm being

200
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.919
hooked up to the scanners again. Doctor Shaw and my

201
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:03.879
dad are both here and there. He pissed off. What happened? Well?

202
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.320
Doctor Shaw found me in the elevator and knew I'd

203
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.440
been assaulted and raped. When I told him it was Lawrence,

204
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:16.399
he was really pissed. Lawrence wasn't even supposed to have

205
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:20.320
clearance to the test patient's wing. He shouldn't even have

206
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.960
been allowed in this building. The son of a bitch

207
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.600
ran away after he raped me, but the guards caught

208
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.600
him and locked him in a holding cell. Aside from

209
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.879
the pains in my groin and my breasts, I seemed

210
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:42.360
to be feeling okay all things considered. Doctor Shaw wants

211
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:47.200
to examine me himself to confirm I'm okay. Lawrence made

212
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.240
absolutely sure I won't be able to enjoy my upcoming

213
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:56.720
Halloween weekend. Even if it turns out I'm okay. I

214
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:01.879
don't really want to do anything now, crying as doctor

215
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:08.279
Shaw activates the scanners. We should know shortly, Mary, I

216
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.680
nod a little and remain.

217
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:16.160
Still don't go away. Weekly Spooky will be right back.

218
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.400
Doctor Shaw has both Dad and me in his office,

219
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.039
and he doesn't look happy. Thanks to that son of

220
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.839
a bitch, things have gone from promising to too much worse.

221
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.359
I come apart when Doctor Shaw reveals that piece of

222
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.160
shit rapist infected me with some venereal disease he's got.

223
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.319
My stomach drops fast. When the doctor tells me I

224
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:55.720
have Oh god, no, I have not just HIV but

225
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:01.480
full blown AIDS. I shake my head quickly, stand up

226
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.759
and slam my fists on the desk. How can I

227
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:09.279
have AIDS? I don't screw around. I was a virgin.

228
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.319
I don't even have a boyfriend. Besides, wouldn't I have

229
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.119
HIV instead of AIDS? I thought it took years for

230
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.680
AIDS to happen. This don't make sense. No, it doesn't marry.

231
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:28.799
Doctor Shaw agrees, at least not at first. So I

232
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:33.200
dug deeper and discovered that the experimental anti cancer G

233
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.119
and H serums that we've been administering for your treatments.

234
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.039
I can see the hurt on his face. He really

235
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.359
does not want to tell me, especially with dad. There

236
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:51.920
there's been an unfortunate side effect. The anti cancer H

237
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.720
serum has bonded to the virus inside you, causing it

238
00:18:55.759 --> 00:19:01.200
to mutate and develop at an alarming rate. We'll need

239
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.640
to conduct further tests to see if it threatens your life.

240
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.640
But I promise you we'll do everything we can to

241
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:14.200
help you. I'm beyond pissed off now. And what about

242
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.119
that son of a bit you rape me? What happens

243
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.279
to him? We're testing him and checking his condition. If

244
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.440
he's okay, we'll hand him over to the police, where

245
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.799
we'll press charges on your behalf. Doctor Shaw explains, since

246
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:35.440
you were under our care when this horrible incident happened,

247
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.079
it's only fair that we assume responsibility. You're not alone here, Mary.

248
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.240
Deep down, I know I'm totally and completely fucked. I

249
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.079
really want to believe doctor Shaw. All I wanted was

250
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:54.519
my life, and some stupid ass lab assistant may have

251
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:58.720
just taken it all away from me just as I

252
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:06.839
almost had it back. It sure didn't take long for

253
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.400
my whole world to come crashing down faster than doctor

254
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.200
Shaw was able to lift me up into it. It's

255
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.960
the end of the week and tomorrow's Halloween. The problem

256
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.400
is I've been here in my room crying at hearing

257
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:27.319
I'm forever tainted. The only good news that came out

258
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.880
of these latest tests is that my uterine cancer is

259
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:36.599
completely gone, with no need for surgery. I haven't been

260
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.200
given any further anti cancer h injections since contracting AIDS,

261
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.200
especially after doctor Shaw and a few of the other

262
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:50.039
scientists confirmed that the treatment bonded to the HIV and

263
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:55.359
mutated it into a full blown aid's infection. But now

264
00:20:55.400 --> 00:21:01.000
it's much worse. Doctor Shaw's daily tests can firm the

265
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:05.079
virus in my body evolved and mutated into a completely

266
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:11.079
new and advanced strain. Right now, it's not known whether

267
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.319
this new strain will kill me or not. What's the

268
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.759
point of being cancer free now if I'm still on

269
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:24.200
the waiting list to die because of some sick, diseased rapist.

270
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.559
Oh and speaking of Lawrence Olam, doctor Shaw said he's

271
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.400
not looking so hot right now. In fact, he had

272
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.880
the bastard brought up for testing. When I saw him,

273
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:43.039
he looked really sick. Doctor Shaw would later tell me

274
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.079
my rapist somehow got the most severe case of the

275
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:52.359
flu he'd ever seen. In fact, he said Olam's fever

276
00:21:52.640 --> 00:22:01.079
was so high they could have literally fried eggs off him.

277
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:07.880
The next day, Halloween, Doctor Shaw's news is even worse

278
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.799
for me. My new and unique strain of AIDS became

279
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:18.799
so advanced there's no treatment available of any kind. He

280
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.480
conducted other tests on me and determined I'm actually quite

281
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.599
healthy now. I'm so angry to wear I shake at times.

282
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:32.079
Doctor Shaw is right, though I ain't feeling sick in

283
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:37.400
any way. When it came to Lawrence Olam, he's much

284
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.000
worse now. Doctor Shaw didn't want to show me, but

285
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.079
I insisted. The bastard looked like he ain't eaten in

286
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.480
several days. I mean, I could literally see his bones.

287
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.880
I knew doctor Shaw was holding something back. When I

288
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.839
demanded he tell me, he nodded. As it turned out,

289
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:04.039
Olam was not only infected with his disease, he also

290
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:10.039
contracted something in return from me. Since he was unprotected

291
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:15.400
when he raped me. The anti cancer h sium bonded

292
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.599
to the disease inside me immediately and got into him

293
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:24.359
in return. This caused the virus in his body to

294
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:29.519
mutate quickly too. Unlike me, the mutated strain in him

295
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.559
is killing him much faster than the AIDS virus that's

296
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.960
still out in the world ever could. Doctor Shaw said

297
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:45.440
Olam would die tomorrow at the very latest, if not today. Again,

298
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:50.200
there's not even so much as a single treatment for

299
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:55.000
my new strain. As for me, Doctor Shaw believes I'll

300
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:01.200
continue to be completely asymptomatic in theory. However, until a

301
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:05.000
treatment or cure can be found for me, I can

302
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.759
never be sexual with anyone. I'm still trembling with rage,

303
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:12.680
knowing I went out of the frying pan and straight

304
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.839
into the fire. Doctor Shaw said I can never leave

305
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.519
mere In Technologies now, saying I risk the possibility of

306
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.400
the virus turning against me and killing me. After all,

307
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:32.400
I know deep down I'll never be normal again. There'll

308
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.759
never be a treatment or a cure for me. I'm

309
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.880
doomed to carry this new strain of AIDS until I die,

310
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.400
all because of some man with no regard for women

311
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.599
who raped me. I've been sitting here in the shower

312
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.519
all day, letting the water rain down on me as

313
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.599
I sob and cry, knowing I'm a prisoner here at

314
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.519
mere In Technologies, and it makes me tremble with anger

315
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.119
even more. I wish I could have died of my

316
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:09.559
two cancers rather than live this way. I just wanted

317
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:16.640
to live. And then I have a sudden epiphany. Life

318
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:20.519
is actually starting to look really good right now. You

319
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:24.519
know what, Why should I have to live here like

320
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:27.480
a prisoner for the rest of my life? It was

321
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:31.400
a lab assistant here who raped me and infected me. Right,

322
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.160
maybe I'll die soon, and maybe I won't, but I'll

323
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.640
be god damned if I'm spending what time I've got

324
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.759
left here at Mirran Technologies, especially knowing I'll never have

325
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:50.480
a normal life again. I think I'm going to my

326
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:56.160
Halloween night after all. I turn off the water and

327
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:01.559
dry myself. Then I make some modification on my princess costume,

328
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:07.480
giving it more sex appeal. After putting it on, I

329
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:12.240
look in the mirror. My reconstructed breasts sure look great

330
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:18.160
in this top. I smile, a deadly smile, and no

331
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.079
revenge wouldn't be any sweeter for what I got in

332
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:28.920
mind this Halloween, for however long I live. After tonight,

333
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.759
with doctor Shaw's key card in hand, it was easy

334
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:40.359
to escape Mirror Technologies. Unfortunately, I got a little bit

335
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:45.759
of his blood on my clothes. I had to kill

336
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.599
Doctor Shaw to get his card. After those months inside

337
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:57.039
Mirror Technologies, I am free. It didn't take long to

338
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:01.039
find a car in the parking garage. Me how some

339
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.960
people don't lock up their cars, and that they also

340
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:09.880
leave their keys where they can easily be found. I

341
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:13.640
got on the road and soon reached a freeway. I

342
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:18.319
was long gone from Erie City. In fact, I knew

343
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.759
exactly where I wanted to go for Halloween.

344
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:26.720
Did you hear that? Better check the locks on your

345
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.200
doors weekly, Spooky, We'll be right back.

346
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:36.279
I heard so many things about this wonderful village of

347
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:42.039
Strickfield regarding Halloween. I heard people here saying trick or

348
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.480
treating was last night too. Truly, this village is a

349
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:51.680
dream for Halloween. People really can trick or treat here

350
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:57.240
without age discrimination. I already got so much candy hell,

351
00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.440
I'll be able to live on it for a little while.

352
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:05.640
So far, I'm feelin jest fine. After tonight, I'll leave

353
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:10.000
Strickfield and stay on the run. One way or another.

354
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:16.799
I am going to remain free. I won't go back,

355
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.359
even though I know my fate. I'm actually having so

356
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.400
much fun on Halloween night. I can't believe I'm tricker

357
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.640
treating again. After all these years when people would say

358
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:35.519
I was too old here in Strickfield, absolutely nobody told

359
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:39.799
me I was too old or turn me away. As

360
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.160
for merean technologies, I doubt they'll find me in a

361
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:46.200
big hurry. I don't have any tech on me to

362
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:49.519
where they can track me unless they somehow put a

363
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:54.640
device inside me and I didn't know it. Anyway. I

364
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:59.480
switched cars a couple of times. I even hitchhiked. Could

365
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.799
Mere and technologies really track me all the way to Strickfield?

366
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:09.000
You'd think they wouldn't be able to? But still, I know.

367
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:14.240
I said I'd keep running, But how long can I run?

368
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.880
I decide to just stay right here in Strickfield and

369
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:23.200
continue having my Halloween night. If I get caught. I

370
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:27.480
get caught, then my mind goes from one extreme to

371
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.079
the next. I gotta go trick or treating now. I

372
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:35.400
want to go to a Halloween party. I haven't been

373
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.799
able to do any fun shit since being diagnosed with cancer,

374
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:43.640
so I'm going to live it up tonight. It isn't

375
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:48.240
long before this car pulls up beside me. I'm looking

376
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:53.799
for a date. Honey, Does this asshole think I'm a hooker?

377
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.839
I guess I do kind of look like one with

378
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:05.359
my modified princess costume. So he wants a date? Huh? Okay?

379
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:11.480
I go and lean in the open passenger side window. Yeah,

380
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.200
let's go on a date, you and me, I tell him.

381
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.119
Then I open the door and get in his car.

382
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.559
I can tell he's been drinking from a few empty

383
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.640
beer cans on the floor. He's not completely drunk, but

384
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.799
enough to where he's letting himself go. It ain't long

385
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:35.240
before he brings me to his house. Wow, he lives

386
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:39.920
in a decent looking cul de Sac neighborhood. My my

387
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:44.599
parents ain't home, he slurs. We got the whole place

388
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.680
to ourselves. I let him bring me into his house.

389
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.440
As soon as we are in his bedroom, we face

390
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.640
each other. I immediately remove my top and show him

391
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:02.319
my perfectly reconstructed breasts. As he kisses me and feels

392
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.119
me up. We get each other naked and get on

393
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:09.359
his bed. I know perfectly well what I'm going to

394
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:14.920
do when I let this guy fornicate with me. Technically,

395
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:20.000
he's the first guy I'm willingly sleeping with. Lawrence Olam

396
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:24.839
raped me and took my virginity. But I'm having actual

397
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.119
sex with this guy and taking something far more precious

398
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:36.720
than virginity revenge. After we finish screwing, the drunken guy

399
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:42.000
falls asleep. You see, I'm guessing that what happened to

400
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:46.359
Lawrence Olam will happen to this guy, to any guy

401
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:51.759
I sleep with from now on. In four to five days,

402
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:57.200
this asshole is going to be dead. That's how long

403
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.119
any guy I sleep with is going to have to

404
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:06.319
regret thinking only with their useless peeps. When I get

405
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:11.279
off the bed, I gasp when I notice someone else

406
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:16.759
is in the room. Okay, no, it's actually a full

407
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.920
length mirror. Wow, look at you, Mary Garner. Ain't you

408
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:29.559
to die for? And then that's when I get another idea,

409
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:37.440
another awful idea. After I get dressed, I pull my

410
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:41.119
lipstick out of my purse and decide to leave this

411
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:46.039
guy a little something to remember me by. But what

412
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.680
I remember Lawrence Olam and know exactly what to leave

413
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:56.160
him to every guy I sleep with from now on.

414
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:03.359
Then I start writing. When I'm finished, I smile devilishly.

415
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:08.799
I couldn't have planned this any better. When the guy

416
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:13.240
I just screwed wakes up, he'll be wishing he'd never

417
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:18.359
met me at all when he reads Welcome to the

418
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:25.599
Wonderful World of Aids. He's snoring soundly when I finally

419
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:29.440
leave his room. I really want to be here when

420
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:34.599
he wakes up. But it's still Halloween night, and I

421
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:39.279
said I wanted to go to a party. I do

422
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:43.880
some more tricker treating and ask around about places to party.

423
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.839
A few people said there's one going on at a

424
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:53.039
bar called Shakers. Others say there's plenty of Halloween parties

425
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:59.240
at Strickfield University, which ain't too far from where I am.

426
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:03.759
After getting directions from an eager man who can't keep

427
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:08.320
his eyes off my cleavage, I walk to Strickfield University,

428
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:14.400
collecting more candy along the way. I walk into the

429
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:19.639
frat house and see plenty of people wearing costumes. Yeah,

430
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:23.639
there's plenty of drinking going on here. I walk right

431
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.760
to the bar and wait for the bartender to come

432
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:31.880
to me. After drinking about three or four of these things,

433
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:37.079
I'm feeling hot and nasty. After I order another beer,

434
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.880
this guy comes to me and strikes up a conversation.

435
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:45.079
When I get my next beer, the guy takes firm

436
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.760
hold of my arm and brings me over to where

437
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:53.639
he's got a friend waiting. I'm definitely tipsy, but can

438
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:59.000
understand what these guys are saying. They're fraternity boys from

439
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:04.639
Delta Omega Kappa here at Strickfield U. Then I think

440
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.760
about Lawrence Olam one more time and wonder if he

441
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:14.119
ever attended any campus parties in Erie City. I mean

442
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:18.760
he learned to be a rapist somewhere right. I knew

443
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:23.880
I was in the presence of potential rapists. Now find

444
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:28.679
by me a rapist forever changed my life. So I

445
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:33.719
am going to return the favor and have some deliciously

446
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.280
sinful fun along the way.

447
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.719
U sh it was only the wind, your safe weekly

448
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.360
Spooky will be right back.

449
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:51.119
Maybe Miran Technologies will find me, and maybe they won't,

450
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.480
but not before I spread my new aid strain to

451
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.880
other men. As far as I'm concerned, men can all

452
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:05.920
die just like Lawrence Olam. I'll bet he never once

453
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.719
thought about what he did to me when he was

454
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.760
getting sick from that shit he gave me after it

455
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:17.840
mutated inside of him. I'm all too eager to go

456
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:21.880
to wherever these guys want. I want to have sex

457
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.840
with these guys. In fact, I'll have sex with any

458
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.480
man who wants me. I don't care anymore. I'll keep

459
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:36.639
going until Miran Technologies either captures or kills me or

460
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:42.960
I die free, whichever comes first. As we're leaving the

461
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:47.360
party and going upstairs, one of the guy's belches and

462
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.119
then tumbles back downstairs. Guess he won't be getting any

463
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:57.480
of me tonight. That leaves this other delta Omega Kappa brother.

464
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:02.119
As he brings me into a bedroom and closes the door.

465
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:07.599
When he sees me getting naked, he thinks he's so

466
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:12.559
studley like the guy who picked me up earlier. I

467
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:16.840
fuck his goddamn brains out, and like the previous guy,

468
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:22.480
he falls asleep when we're done. That's when I get

469
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:27.519
dressed and find another full length mirror. I got plenty

470
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:32.960
of lipstick left when I write Welcome to the Wonderful

471
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:48.239
World of AIDS three years later. I definitely killed a

472
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:52.079
lot of men with my disease. But here's the kicker.

473
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:59.280
Lots of other men in Ohio died, mostly in Strickfield,

474
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:04.760
in the same way I kill men. The bigger kicker

475
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.679
not all of them were me. Since I haven't been

476
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:15.320
in Strickfield for a while now. Still, every single guy

477
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.199
that was found was dead from my strain of AIDS.

478
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:25.320
In fact, I'm reading all about it on the Strickfield

479
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:31.760
Journal's website, and guess what. Even Strickfield University has something

480
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.360
about these murders on their own website. Nobody seems to

481
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:40.760
know what I look like. I'm guessing Miran Technologies never

482
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.599
leaked anything out. Makes perfect sense, since they wouldn't want

483
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.280
it becoming public knowledge that one of their experiments got

484
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:55.599
out and is carrying a lethal disease. It sure would

485
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.519
make people wonder what they're doing in there behind closed doors, right.

486
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:07.119
I'm figuring Mirror Technologies is either still hunting me or

487
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:13.039
they've completely washed their hands of me. Also, it turns

488
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:16.480
out those fraternity boys who died in Ohio with my

489
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:22.079
strain all had variations of my original message on their

490
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:27.719
mirrors written in lipstick. Like I said, it wasn't me.

491
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.480
According to what I'm reading, the bodies look the same

492
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:38.159
way victim zero Lawrence Olam looked when he died. It

493
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.599
seems my mutated AID strain found its way into other

494
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:47.960
women with an axe to grind and is asymptomatic in

495
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:53.639
them like it is me. One such person was Mary

496
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:59.880
Ann Wright from Strickfield. Hey, since I'm the first with

497
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:06.199
my killer AID strain, that makes me patient zero right? Oh,

498
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:11.000
I almost forgot I have a name all my own now.

499
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:17.679
According to the Strickfield University website, I'm now known as

500
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.599
aids Mary. Guess Mary must be a common name, but

501
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:28.400
the site sure got what I do right. So if

502
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:32.519
you're a guy and you meet me or one of

503
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.159
the others and you happen to get laid, then you'll

504
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:40.800
know you're as good as dead when you wake up

505
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.039
in the morning and read some lipstick on a mirror

506
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:50.199
to the extent of Welcome to the wonderful world of Aids.

507
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:55.920
From there, live the rest of your life to its fullest.

508
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:06.239
You may only have five days at best. And that

509
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:11.320
was the story of Aides marry Patient zero, a legend

510
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:17.320
born of tragedy and revenge, leaving scars no one can ignore.

511
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.440
Thank you so much for joining us for day four

512
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:24.360

00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:39.280
Sometimes something strange slips into our fee. Stories that don't

516
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:45.199
come from us, voices from somewhere else. Press play if

517
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.559
you dare, and you'll hear of guilt that can't be hidden,

518
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:53.159
a fortune poisoned by greed, something crawling where it shouldn't,

519
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:57.800
a goblet no one should drink from, knives made for betrayal,

520
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.480
and a pattern you can't under see, So tune in

521
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:05.159
tomorrow if you dare, just don't ask me to explain

522
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:08.000
