Slasher horror, murder mystery, and winter survival terror collide as the Horror Snow-In at High Point Ski Lodge continues under a tightening blizzard lockdown—and the killer behind BANNED stops treating this like a secret.

With police struggling to reach the lodge and the convention refusing to shut down, headliner Vickie Valentine is forced to keep smiling through the fear… even as something old and dangerous stirs inside her. Meanwhile, Robbie Redden turns the weekend into a performance—pushing the murders from the shadows into places they were never supposed to happen.

Part 3 raises the stakes with public scares, disappearing staff, and a killer who wants witnesses—all while the storm cuts off escape and the lodge slips closer to panic. If you thought the word BANNED was just a signature… you’re about to learn it’s a warning.

1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.080
A staffer stumbles into the blizzard thinking he can escape.

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.400
Then the crowbar hits, the car climbs and the killer

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.480
drags his masterpiece back to the lodge. Moments later, glass

4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.920
explodes mid film shoot and a body drops into the

5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.800
scene like a sick standing ovation.

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:29.280
What's that you want to be scared? Come with me?

7
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.479
He will experience tales of over ghosts and it is

8
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:52.119
not recommended for the Week at Heart listeners in the

9
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.679
dark ark it's more funny that way way way. This

10
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:58.880
is Weekly Speaking.

11
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.519
Hello, my spooky is It's Wednesday, and you know what

12
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.760
that means. It's time for a little spooky in your weekly.

13
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.159
I'm your host and narrator, Enrique Kuto, and tonight we

14
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.599
have the third installment of our winter mini series banned

15
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.640
by Rob Fields, and the body count is only growing.

16
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.120
But before we get to that, I want to say

17
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.599

join over eighty other spookies in helping us keep the

30
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:31.400
show going and growing. But now, as for tonight, imagine

31
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.520
you're trapped at a horror convention where the schedule keeps

32
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:42.159
moving even as the dead keep piling up. The storm

33
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.560
outside is thick enough to swallow the road, and inside

34
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.599
the lights are warm enough to make you pretend everything

35
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.719
is fine. But what if the killer doesn't want secrecy?

36
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.759
What if he wants witnesses, a clause, a room full

37
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.120
of people who can't look away. And what if the

38
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.280
one person who can stop him is changing into something

39
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:18.879
she swore she would never become again. Well, tonight more

40
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.520
will be revealed in a snowy ski lodge in the

41
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.719
upper Peninsula of Michigan. So get a warm blanket, get cozy.

42
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:45.000
Here we go. Last time on band the first annual

43
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.240
horror snow in continues at the high Point Ski Lodge.

44
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.759
As the snowstorm continues to rage. On Saturday morning, another

45
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.159
victim is revealed as a member of convention promoter David

46
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:04.800
Mellikants staff. Vicky Valentine vows to find Robbie Redden, the

47
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.759
killer and end his reign of terror. Late Saturday night,

48
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:16.079
Vicki ventures outside alone. Before long, a masked Robbie Redden

49
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.680
attacks her. Vicki fights back forgetting she's not the monster

50
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.079
she once was. She overestimates herself and is nearly killed.

51
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.639
He allows her to live, however, and promises her she

52
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.720
will be his last victim. Vicky resumes her hunt for

53
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:39.160
him and is found by Beadon Debrer, who reminds her

54
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.600
she has a film to introduce, but Vicky Valentine's movie

55
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.319
doesn't play. Instead, it's one starring Darcy Hart, whom Redden

56
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.519
believes Vicky to be. In the chaos, A surprise is

57
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.279
revealed to the patrons when another victim is revealed. How

58
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.720
much worse can things get? Find out? As band continues

59
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:15.759
with part three Late Saturday Night Perspective, Vicky Valentine Enrique

60
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.120
Cuto is still screaming. I glance over my shoulder and

61
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.160
slap his arm enough to get him to stop. He

62
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:29.279
freaks out when he finally sees the words band upon

63
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:36.360
Kathleen Witherspoon's mid section. Then he turns to me, What

64
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:41.879
the hell is going on here, Valentine, goddamn it, David

65
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.959
Mellikant shouts. Then he turns to look at Enrique and

66
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.240
I I point to him, angry. This is where you

67
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.319
take out your phone and call the police to get

68
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.800
back here. When he makes no move to do so,

69
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.199
Enrique produces his own phone. Call the fucking police or

70
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.680
I'm doing it. Melikan shakes his head slowly. You people

71
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.879
just don't understand, do you. He points right at us

72
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.480
and raises his voice. I can't afford to shut my

73
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:23.240
show down. Don't you understand? I got nothing. Robbie Reddin

74
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.199
left me with nothing. I had to pay out everything

75
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.959
I had just to keep his family off my back.

76
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.480
When Henry, the person who runs the movie room, returns

77
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.199
with the correct disc, Melikan grabs him and shoves him

78
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.519
back to the doorway, making him drop the film. Just

79
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.480
get the fuck out o here. You can't even play

80
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.120
the right goddamn movie Before he can turn around to

81
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.839
confront Melikant, he gets a shoe to the rear to

82
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.759
shove him back out of the room. When Melikan turns

83
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.959
back around, Henrique is the maddest I have ever seen him.

84
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.720
So you're saying you're not calling the police, he yells,

85
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.959
last I checked. That woman is the second person killed

86
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.920
that I've seen with my own eyes. And you're just

87
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.000
going to stand there with your fucking head up, with

88
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.439
your fucking head up your ass. Melicant points at Kuto.

89
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.040
Don't you test me? Kuto gives this weird smile, yet

90
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.240
I know that he is quite angry. Fine, let the

91
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.199
police test you. Then Melicant tries to take the phone

92
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:42.959
from him, but I step in between. Melicant groans, Jesus Christ,

93
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.519
I don't believe this shit. Then he looks right at me.

94
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.360
Just because you played monsters in horror movies don't mean

95
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.720
you really know how to fight. I do not have

96
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.160
to fight you, I tell him, In fact, you should

97
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.279
fight neither of us. Or do you not understand that

98
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.680
Robbie Redden is roaming free somewhere in your convention and

99
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.079
will stop at nothing to.

100
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:09.120
Ban you.

101
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.480
Melikant is not convinced by now Enrique is on the

102
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.759
phone with the Bennock Police. How's Robbie Reddin gonna be

103
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:23.639
here at my show? He demands that Twig got his

104
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.959
back broken in several places. I'm telling you right now,

105
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.679
he ain't nowhere near here. There have been significant medical

106
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.799
advances in this day and age, I point out, and

107
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.039
who else would target you for what happened in Ridgeway

108
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.080
Heights years ago? Melicant sneers, let me tell you something

109
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.240
you ain't, No goddamn detective, all you are is just

110
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.320
a washed up porn star who got lucky getting into

111
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.399
horror movies. So quit trying to think with your head

112
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.320
and just keep laying on your back. Okay. Every instinct

113
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.200
is telling me to show him what I intend to

114
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.440
show Robbie Redden when I lay hold of him again.

115
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:13.159
But living with Bethany, my wife, she has seen my

116
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:19.639
temper with her. I've learned to be patient. But Melikant

117
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:25.600
is severely trying me. Instead of dealing him severe punishment

118
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:30.320
for his words, I point to the body. Why is

119
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:35.200
Redden targeting members of your staff specifically? Then? Why doesn't

120
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.159
he target people coming to your show? I would imagine

121
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.000
some of them were at Ridgeway Heights during that event

122
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.879
all those years ago. Reddin certainly has not forgiven or forgotten.

123
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.399
Keep doubting everything you see. He will come for you

124
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.679
when he feels that it's your time. But I suppose

125
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.159
you will not heed my warnings. After all, I am

126
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.759
just a washed up porn star. I give him a

127
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:10.399
wicked smile. Close your convention, flee while you still can.

128
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.799
Robbie Reddin is here. I assure you am I correct

129
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.679
in assuming that you have stopped paying for his medical treatments.

130
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.279
Clearly that did not keep him from finding you. I

131
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.480
can also assure you that he is quite capable of

132
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:32.759
both normal movement as well as killing. Kuto gets off

133
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.879
the phone, then looks my way. The police are on

134
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:42.840
their way again. He looks at Melikant and Vicki's right,

135
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.240
you should close this shit show down and report what's

136
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.559
going on to the lodge manager. Then he yells, grow

137
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:55.240
some goddamn balls and take some fucking responsibility for once

138
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.960
in your life. Melicant points outside. Have either of you

139
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.840
you've seen the front desk up there with the cops

140
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.600
coming here a bunch. It didn't take long for word

141
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.440
to get around about the people being killed here. There

142
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.120
are more people trying to check out than there are

143
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:17.000
checking in. They don't care there's a blizzard outside. Talk

144
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.200
to the lodge manager, haun Kuto. I already had the

145
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.399
lodge manager tell me he's holding me responsible for all

146
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.039
the room refunds they've had to issue. He's threatening to

147
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.519
take me to court over this shit. I can't afford

148
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.120
to close this convention, and I ain't gonna Bedone had

149
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:40.399
left the room for a moment. As he returns, Hey, Dave,

150
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.200
how many more of us have to die before you

151
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.919
finally get the idea? Melikan turns to Bedone. Why did

152
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.080
I ever let a pussy like you be a member

153
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.799
of my staff? You and this porn bitch were made

154
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:59.320
for each other. Bedone does not back down, looks to

155
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.480
me like you're the pussy here. Dave. You're too afraid

156
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.919
to admit when you're wrong, and you're definitely wrong here.

157
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.399
Why don't you just shut this con down and cut

158
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:14.360
your losses before it's too late? By the way, I

159
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:19.120
called the police, Enrique laughs, A little guess we had

160
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:23.720
the same idea, kid. Melicant roars and grabs hold of Bedone.

161
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.080
He takes him to the floor. I'm not wrong. I

162
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.240
should just fucking kill your ass. How about that. Now

163
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.879
I no longer restrain myself. I grab the back of

164
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.919
Melicant's hoodie and remove him from Betone. I wish to

165
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.559
show him what happens when you cross Veranda the first

166
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:51.919
time clearly didn't stick. Instead, I take Bedone's hand and

167
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.519
help him to his feet. Melikant is back to his

168
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.000
He reaches out to take hold of me, but I

169
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.279
am quick to stock him. I seize him by the

170
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.240
throat and pin him up against a nearby wall. He

171
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.279
tries to free himself, but he does not understand the

172
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:15.480
true strength of a gorgon. Do not lay hold of

173
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.600
Bedone again, I warn him, next time I shall deal

174
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:25.159
with you most harshly. I let go of Melikant and

175
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:29.279
watch him drop back to his feet. He still refuses

176
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.080
to listen to reason when he points at me, you

177
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.720
are done here, I mean it. Get the fuck out

178
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:42.559
of my show now. Oh, I will leave, I assure him.

179
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:52.840
Once I've found Robbie Reddin again. The police have returned

180
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.720
to the high Point Ski Lodge. Enrique and Bedone both

181
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.120
talk to them. I can tell they grow weary of returning. Here,

182
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:07.000
at least they are consistent with doing their jobs. Melikan

183
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.200
tries to tell the police there is nothing wrong, but

184
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.840
who is he trying to deceive? The detectives question all

185
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.279
of us in the movie room. They especially question Melikant,

186
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.480
suspecting that he is more involved than he lets on.

187
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:31.080
Before long, the body of Kathleen Witherspoon is removed. I

188
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:36.159
see her husband, Terry, standing outside and the distraught expression

189
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.879
on his face. When the police are finished questioning us,

190
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.960
they give us the indication that they are likely to

191
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:51.720
return soon. As for the screening, it never commences. Terry

192
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.679
marches into the movie room and right up to Mellikant.

193
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.559
Fuck you, Dave, I quit. I don't care how bad

194
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.440
it's out there. I'm getting the hell out of here

195
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.840
while I still can. The two of them have an

196
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.759
intense screaming match. As Enrique Beidone and I leave the room,

197
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:18.320
I feel Kuto tap my shoulder. I turn around, so Vicky,

198
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.919
I know what just happened in there, But we've still

199
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.360
got scenes to shoot for the new movie here. He

200
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.720
tells me, I'm not trying to be a money grubbing

201
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.480
asshole like melikan't, but I not.

202
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:33.519
No.

203
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.519
I will film the scenes if you require me. But

204
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.600
are you sure that's a good idea given the circumstances.

205
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:48.039
For a brief moment, Kuto seems ready to raise his voice. Instead,

206
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:53.240
he sighs, what can we do? We can't just drive

207
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.600
on out of here with that blizzard. Honestly, I thought

208
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.000
about telling the rest of the crew to stay locked

209
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.480
in their rooms, but I don't want them to panic.

210
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.200
Maybe if we can come out here and work on

211
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:11.600
the movie, they won't think about all this shit. Besides,

212
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.200
we'll be right out here in the open, which means

213
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:20.519
we'll all be safe. I consider his logic, then nod once.

214
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.799
What time will we commence with shooting? He considers it.

215
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.279
I'll get the others and let's meet back here in

216
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:40.879
twenty minutes. Very well perspective, Robbie Reddin. Let's talk about

217
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:46.279
Terry Witherspoon, shall we? Just? Seeing how panicked he looked

218
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:53.440
was just priceless. Terry was all high and mighty that

219
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.000
day when he and Grim both kept shoving me out

220
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.600
through the main doors of the Holiday Inn. Even then

221
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.359
they both couldn't keep me out of that convention. It

222
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.000
wasn't until Dave came along and helped them both that

223
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:14.119
they thought they finally got rid of me, except they didn't.

224
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.599
For a brief moment, I was actually considering sparing Terry.

225
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.559
Just seeing the pain and anguish on his face showed

226
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.440
me he was regretting what happened years ago. But I

227
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:33.839
realized I just couldn't do it. I already let Darcy

228
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.440
Hart go earlier, but that was only a reprieve. I

229
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:44.640
still had every intention of getting that heartless bitch. But

230
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.319
if I would have let Terry go, then what was

231
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.799
to say he wouldn't have moved on past cat and

232
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:58.160
found another woman, impossibly even been happy again. The more

233
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.839
I thought about that, the more I realized, maybe because

234
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.440
I was able to walk again, that I was going soft.

235
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.480
No way, too much happened at Ridgeway Heights for me

236
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:16.640
to just forgive and forget. I also went through far

237
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:20.960
too much pain. There was no way in hell that

238
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:28.039
I could possibly let Terry go. I just couldn't. Now

239
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:35.720
it's time to ban Terry Witherspoon. Terry sure wasted no

240
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:40.720
time packing some stuff and checking out of his room.

241
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.680
Now he was outside. Oh, I knew people could drive

242
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.400
on out of here. You could definitely drive through Binnock.

243
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.599
The local businesses were still open. You could even go

244
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.319
into pubs and order some food. I was pretty sure

245
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.720
there was an inn you could check into, providing it

246
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:06.039
wasn't sold out. The only problem was you couldn't get

247
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.079
out of Binnick itself. The plows were going around and

248
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.720
keeping the streets clean. They were even keeping the road

249
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:18.680
going into the High Point Lodge wide open. But leaving

250
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:25.319
Bennock itself, good luck, you'd likely get stuck somewhere a

251
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:30.599
lot less hospitable than this small town. And good luck

252
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.319
calling for a record to come out in the blizzard

253
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.559
to get you. Who could say whether they were overloaded

254
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.559
and overworked with calls or they just weren't going out

255
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.000
into the storm at all. But I was more than

256
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:50.920
okay with keeping Terry company, so he was no substitute

257
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:56.839
for Darcy. But us hanging out and getting reacquainted wouldn't

258
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:01.680
take long like Grim did on front. Terry had to

259
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.039
walk all the way to the back of the lot

260
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:09.000
where Dave made all the convention staff park their cars,

261
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.400
and looking at Terry's he would have to remove chunks

262
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:17.039
of snow and ice from it. That was how many

263
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:23.319
inches had fallen just since Friday night. Hey, buddy, need

264
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.599
some help, I called out to Terry. I half expected

265
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.000
him to just tell me to fuck off, But yeah,

266
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:36.920
if you don't mind, not at all. So I went

267
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.079
ahead and helped Terry clean off his car. He didn't

268
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.880
say much. Wasn't expecting him to though. It wasn't like

269
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:50.400
his wife had just been murdered, right. It took several minutes,

270
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:54.680
but we finally got Terry's car ready to go. He

271
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.880
got his keys out and was barely able to open

272
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.680
the driver's side door. Guess nobody told him you shouldn't

273
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.759
lock your car up like that when a blizzard is

274
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:10.759
going on. Just the same, Terry had to believe he

275
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.839
could escape from the lodge. I kind of wondered if

276
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.319
he'd be able to start his car. It cranked and

277
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:24.920
cranked before it finally fired up. I saw how relieved

278
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.480
he looked. He sat there for a little bit before

279
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.480
he got out of the car. He finally started loading

280
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.079
his bags into the back seat after brushing the snow

281
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:43.039
off of them. Then he remembered I was still there. Hey,

282
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.240
thanks for helping me out, he said. I think I'm

283
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.799
all good now. I shook my head a little. Nah,

284
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.440
I don't think so. You look like something's bothering you.

285
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.880
Terry just gave me a funny look. I appreciate you

286
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.599
helping me out with the car, but I'm not going

287
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.759
to talk to you about my problems. I'm getting out

288
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:12.000
of here. Suit yourself, I told him. When Terry finished

289
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.319
loading the car up, he got back in before he

290
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.680
shut the door, I was quick to tell him, don't

291
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:25.039
you even want to know? He was really annoyed. Now, look, guy,

292
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:28.559
I ain't got time for your shit. Okay, I said,

293
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.200
thanks for helping me out. What more do you want?

294
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.240
But don't you even want to know? How? I repeated.

295
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.519
Now he was losing his shit. Know how?

296
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:40.680
What?

297
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:42.880
How?

298
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:48.119
I killed your wife? I told him simply. Then I

299
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:59.799
removed my ski mask. His eyes got wide fast. You're

300
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.599
Robbie Redden. You're that little prick we threw out back

301
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.279
in Ridgeway Heights. You're the one who got his back broken.

302
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.079
He shot out of his car. What the fuck do

303
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.519
you know about cat? I just told you, I answered,

304
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:21.319
I killed her. As I kept stepping back, he kept

305
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:25.960
walking faster after me. All I had to do was

306
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.599
follow your wife back to your room. Cat sure loved

307
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.279
being the attacker when she wouldn't let people get near

308
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:40.519
the guests unless, of course, they had money in hand. Well, tonight,

309
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.200
Cat learned what it was like to be attacked. Oh

310
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:50.559
and I definitely didn't have any money in hand, just

311
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.160
my knife. You should have seen the look on her

312
00:23:54.279 --> 00:24:00.519
face when I stabbed her again and again. You people

313
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:06.039
wrongfully banned me from Ridgeway Heights, so now I'm banning

314
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.880
all of you from life. By the way, did you

315
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:16.200
like how I displayed your wife? Terry screamed like a

316
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.640
deranged lunatic and came after me. I didn't move away

317
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:24.440
from him. I punched him right in the face. He

318
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:28.440
went down like a bag of hammers. It wasn't long

319
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:32.039
before he was back on his feet. Then he went

320
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.240
to his car and opened up his trunk. He pulled

321
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:39.640
out a crowbar. I'm gonna make you look worse than

322
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:43.200
what you did to Cat, you bastard, He roared and

323
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.960
came at me again, swinging like a man who failed

324
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.039
to defend his wife. But I was focused and kept

325
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:55.440
moving out of the way. Before Terry found out Cat

326
00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:00.000
was killed, he'd been partying and was definitely drunk which

327
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:05.839
fueled his rage. He wouldn't stop until he killed me.

328
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.839
When I was done playing with Terry, I stopped his

329
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.359
latest attack and swiped the crowbar away from him. Now

330
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.720
I was going to use it on him. With each hit,

331
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:24.839
I got blood going all over the snow. Tell you what, Terry,

332
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:29.240
I told him after sending him to the ground, You

333
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.079
got one hundred and forty dollars, Give it to me

334
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.799
and I'll let you leave here. All that'll hurt is

335
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:41.240
your pride. Terry was suddenly back on his feet and

336
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:46.720
rushing me. Fuck you. Terry managed to tackle me down

337
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.759
to the ground. He screamed at the top of his

338
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.720
lungs when he started trying to hit me. He wasn't

339
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:59.200
even focused and kept hitting my forearms. I was still

340
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.920
holding the crowbar when he slowed down. I brought it

341
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.359
back and smashed him with it to get him off

342
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:12.440
of me. I got back up. I'm guessing either you

343
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:16.000
ain't got the one hundred and forty dollars or you're

344
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:19.640
not planning on paying up. Either way, I don't care.

345
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.400
You think you're in pain right now, it ain't nothing

346
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.759
compared to the pain and hell I went through after

347
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.960
Dave put me in front of that truck. All you

348
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.279
had to do was just give me my fucking money back.

349
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:37.559
Guess you and Dave are going to have to learn

350
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.960
the hard way that karma is a bitch. I kept

351
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.640
hitting Terry as he tried to get up. When he

352
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:50.920
wasn't getting up anymore, I raised the crowbar and drove

353
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.359
it down. He cried out when he felt himself being

354
00:26:55.400 --> 00:27:01.079
impaled and pinned to the ground. He could and scream

355
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:05.000
as much as he wanted. With us being isolated and

356
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.799
the blizzard still in full force, who was going to

357
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:13.319
hear him? I moved and got in his car. It

358
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:17.440
was so nice and warm inside, even with the door open.

359
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.599
I pulled it shut and ran the windshield wipers to

360
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:27.519
clean the wetness from the defrosters. I could see Terry perfectly,

361
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:34.279
still struggling. I put the car in gear and floor did.

362
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:39.039
I didn't hear him scream, but I could see the

363
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:44.279
look of horror as I drove right to him, right

364
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:50.599
over him. Then the car went up fast, then down again,

365
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.839
just as fast. I stopped the car and got out.

366
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.759
Terry wasn't dead yet, but I could hear his anguish

367
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.160
Just looking at him. I could see. He was truly

368
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:11.400
a broken man. His spine was severed completely. He was

369
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:16.640
paralyzed from the waist down, but he was still moving.

370
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.279
He should be so lucky. Maybe I snapped his spine

371
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.720
in one place, but that was nothing compared to the

372
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:32.240
multiple locations on my back that got destroyed. Yeah, let's

373
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:37.119
get you back inside the lodge, buddy, I told him.

374
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.440
I grabbed hold of the crowbar and yanked it back out,

375
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:48.039
causing Terry to scream one last time before he slumped

376
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:54.640
back down and finally died. It was definitely time to

377
00:28:54.680 --> 00:29:06.680
get my next masterpiece ready to present to Dave perspective.

378
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.160
Vicki Valentine, I am in the lobby and in costume

379
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.200
as I work on Enrique's latest movie, another in his

380
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:23.759
growing Babysitter Massacre series. I reprise my role of Larkin Combs,

381
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:29.160
the main heroine from David O'Hanlon's inaugural book of the series.

382
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.559
Larkin was hired to come on vacation with a family.

383
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.039
Her job was to babysit the children and take them

384
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.119
around the hotel while the parents are out at a

385
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:45.680
convention nearby. Even though this is a ski lodge, it

386
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:50.839
mostly appears like a simple hotel. Kuto got permission to

387
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:59.519
shoot here before arriving yesterday before the murders. He's behind

388
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:04.519
the camera when he calls action. I go through my

389
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.440
lines with Ben Devers, who plays the guy trying to

390
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.799
get with me. When we keep arguing, I tell him

391
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.880
that I cannot leave the kids and that he needs

392
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:20.640
to just go away. In this scene, which is close

393
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:24.279
to the final act, I am fully aware that a

394
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:28.440
killer is running loose in the hotel. There is a

395
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.960
stunt double who's supposed to be getting his throat slashed.

396
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.559
Even though they could not retain the services of the

397
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.680
Corgan twins this time up, our director was able to

398
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.799
find an affects artist who could give him what he needed.

399
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:47.319
When Ben and I finish our lines, Kuto calls for

400
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.599
a cut. We are ready to shoot the kill scene.

401
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.519
Enrique tells everybody how he wishes for us to act

402
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:59.319
out our scene. Soon he backs off and tells us

403
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:06.079
okay places everybody upon calling action. We continue performing the

404
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:11.519
scene until the killer appears, dressed in an outfit resembling

405
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:16.079
that of the original prom night. Ben tries to fight

406
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:19.640
him off when he comes for me, but gets kicked

407
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:23.640
in the stomach. Then he rolls out of frame as

408
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:28.200
Enrique instructed him to do. From there, the killer picks

409
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:31.480
up the stunt double. I come into the scene and

410
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:35.039
jump onto the Killer's back, where I shall remain until

411
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:39.759
Enrique gives me the signal to drop off. Get off me, bitch,

412
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:44.240
The killer yells. I see the signal and fall away

413
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.759
and roll until I stop and can get back on

414
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:52.039
my feet. Now, the killer chases me through the lobby,

415
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.720
seeing there are too many people. When I turn down

416
00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:59.000
the corridor, I make my way down again and use

417
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.920
my room key to unlock the door to the swimming pool.

418
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:07.240
Enrique and his camera person are following right behind me,

419
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.319
getting everything I am performing. Now I am alone at

420
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:17.880
the swimming pool. There are windows all around. According to

421
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.240
the script, the killer is supposed to come up behind

422
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:25.240
me and rip my top off before he stabs me

423
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:35.519
in the side. But this is not what happens. A

424
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:41.279
window nearby shatters. This body suddenly lands right in front

425
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:46.440
of me. Cut Enrique yells, what the hell is going

426
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.240
on here? That's not what we rehearsed people. I point

427
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:56.920
down to him, and this man is not your stunt person, Kuto.

428
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:02.880
He comes up beside me and sees it is Terry Witherspoon.

429
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:07.200
He's covered in blood and his T shirt is ripped

430
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:11.640
down the middle. Carved upon his chest is the same

431
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:20.720
word as the previous victims band what the fuck? Kuto chokes?

432
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:27.480
Then he turns to the others. Where the hell is Wolf? Dan? Fortunately,

433
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:32.119
Dan Yorke, the stunt person would prove to be all right.

434
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:38.440
Ben Deavers found him knocked unconscious in our meeting room.

435
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:42.039
Enrique and I look at each other as if asking

436
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.440
what should be done. I can see that he is

437
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.079
greatly upset, but he remains calm as he takes a

438
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:58.240
deep breath. Okay, everybody, we're done here. I have the

439
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:03.240
unfortunate responsibility of getting the lodge manager down here. Then

440
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:09.079
he pulls out his phone. I'll call the police again.

441
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.280
Enriquet points to me, Vicky, why don't you see if

442
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:17.440
you can find that melikant idiot and let him know,

443
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.840
Not that he'll care. Ben tells me that he and

444
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:26.039
the other actors will remain with Terry until the police arrive.

445
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:31.239
I leave to go look for Mellicant, but I do

446
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:34.760
not have to go far from the imbecile himself. As

447
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.079
he comes into the room fast. What the fuck is

448
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:40.960
going on here? I was told by the front desk

449
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:44.480
that someone wanted to see me here. I point down

450
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:49.599
at Terry's body. You would be correct. When he sees

451
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:54.760
what has become of Terry, he becomes even angrier. It

452
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.039
is then when I begin to feel the fangs growing

453
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:04.440
within my mouth. I also feel my fingernails extending. I

454
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:09.000
am again changing back into my monster form. I must

455
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:15.480
leave here immediately. Bidonne Debreer comes in. He must have

456
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.440
followed Melikant inside. Then a voice comes in over the

457
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:21.360
loud speaker.

458
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:27.639
Hello, Dave, glad you could make it. I know you

459
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.440
know who I am. By now you have to know

460
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.519
you are the last one. I'm coming for you, you

461
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.599
son of a bitch. And don't think I don't have

462
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.320
my eyes on you too, Darcy Hart. Let me put

463
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:50.679
this in simple terms. You two are so fucked. It

464
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.960
doesn't matter if you run and hide. It doesn't matter

465
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.079
if you leave and try to escape. The Blizzard is

466
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:02.480
on my side and guarantees you'll be staying right here.

467
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.920
You've seen what I did to all of your loyal staff.

468
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:11.480
Now that I have your attention, just know I'll be

469
00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:15.599
coming for you and Darcy both soon.

470
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:20.920
Reddin finishes with a demented laugh. I turn and walk

471
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.639
back to my room. As I start seeing my snake

472
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:29.760
flesh in patches, I must hide and let the change finish.

473
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.920
I must also get into another outfit. Bedone is quick

474
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:40.079
to follow me. Vicky, you really shouldn't be alone. He

475
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.760
tells me, you heard what that psycho said. I do

476
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.559
not face him. Let the fool come for me again.

477
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:53.920
I'll deal with him most severely this time. We arrive

478
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:59.079
at my room. I tell Bedone to wait for me outside.

479
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.920
I move to the bathroom and know that I do

480
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.400
not require light. My night vision has returned once more,

481
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:10.039
just the same. I turn on the light and view

482
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:15.440
myself in the looking glass. I am torn within. On

483
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:18.880
one side, I wished to be mortal for Bethany. I've

484
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.079
tried so hard to live as one. Bethany has been

485
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.840
there to try and teach me how to deal with

486
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.480
my aggressiveness as a warrior. Even though I possess my

487
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:35.440
memories as both Veranda and as Vicki Valentine, I still

488
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:40.400
continue to long for my old ways. When I was

489
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:44.480
but a child, I began training to become a Gorgon warrior.

490
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:48.079
It did not matter if you were male or female.

491
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.679
As long as you were able, then you could contribute

492
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:57.599
something to the tribe. In time, I learned to crave battle.

493
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:02.639
That craving consumed me, for I became the best that

494
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:08.159
my tribe had. When the hell Weaver invaded the Night Realm,

495
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:12.239
I knew that our Gorgon tribe would fall to her,

496
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:16.960
But we were a proud race and would die before

497
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:20.360
we would be in the shackles of servitude to that

498
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:25.719
evil goddess. It is my fault entirely that I am

499
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.440
tainted with her blood. I just knew that if I

500
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:33.159
was to die against hell Weaver that I would at

501
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:39.119
least spill her blood in some fashion. So I bit

502
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.039
her on her shoulder. The goddess screamed as I drank

503
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:46.199
all that I could from her before casting me away.

504
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:52.519
Did I attempt suicide that day? Even now I still

505
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:58.320
cannot answer this question. But I tainted myself for all time.

506
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:04.000
Even when my sorceress restored Bethany to me, hell Weaver's

507
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:09.159
blood still flowed through my body. There was never any

508
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:13.719
going back. Her blood shall be at full power again,

509
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:20.199
and I shall become fully transformed once more. My only

510
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:26.079
fear is losing Bethany. Yes, she accepted me back in

511
00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:31.199
the Night Realm upon learning my true identity. She and

512
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:35.719
I became bound to each other as mates and in marriage.

513
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:39.599
But I became mortal to save her from death. I

514
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:44.079
truly believed that I would be mortal forever. But I

515
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:47.679
see that hell Weaver's power is much greater than that

516
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.920
of my sorceress. I am so deeply conflicted that I

517
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:59.320
lash out and shatter the mirror with one blow. Looking

518
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.920
upon my mind hand, I have drawn a little blood.

519
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:08.360
Almost immediately I begin to heal. I feel that I

520
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:14.199
must venture back out into the storm and complete my transformation.

521
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:19.920
I will no longer belong to this realm and its people.

522
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.679
I would either need to live in exile here or

523
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:31.679
return to the Night Realm. No, I had best speak

524
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:38.960
with Bethany. She alone shall determine my fate. But first

525
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:44.360
my conflict must be ended with you, Robbie Reddin. Too

526
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:48.119
much blood has been spilled in these last two days.

527
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:53.519
I leave the bathroom and forego changing clothes. If Robi

528
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.840
Reddin is to behold my true form upon what should

529
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:04.199
be our final mess, then so be it I am

530
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:14.360
still a proud gorgon and the last of my tribe.

531
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:19.280
Bedone still awaits me as I exit. I thought you

532
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:23.239
were going to change. Wow, how did you curl your

533
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:30.639
hair so fast? Ancient family secret? I answer, come Bedone,

534
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:34.440
and I venture back to the lobby. We must pass

535
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.880
a few of the meeting rooms to get there. It

536
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.320
is then when David Melikant appears. He must have seen

537
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:46.559
me leaving. He turns me around and points right at me.

538
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:51.599
I told you to get the fuck out. You ain't

539
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:54.920
part of my show no more. But before I can

540
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:59.639
address him, Bedone steps in front of me. Though he

541
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:03.400
was assigned to be my handler, he seems to have

542
00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:09.840
assigned himself to be my personal bodyguard. Bedone points right

543
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:15.679
in Melikant's face. Just leave her alone. Dave Melakant gives

544
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:20.000
an immature grin. Ooh, you're gonna kick my ass, you

545
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:23.440
little pussy. I should just beat the living shit out

546
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:25.360
of you and leave you for redd and to kill.

547
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:30.280
Melakant grabs Beaton and throws him into an open meeting room.

548
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:34.199
Then he goes in after him. Before I can move

549
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:40.239
to help him, Melicant quickly closes and locks the door. Sorry, bitch.

550
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:45.440
This is between me and the pussy. The transformation is

551
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.800
happening faster than before, but I cannot allow Betone to

552
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:54.519
be beaten to death by that cretan. What the fuck? Dave?

553
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:59.719
Beat On yells, are you crazy? Put that down? Then

554
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.960
he screams, no, I do not care if I fully

555
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:10.159
transform into my monster form again. Bedone is in trouble

556
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:13.639
and I am the only one who can save him.

557
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:18.400
Hang on, I yell. As I start to feel my

558
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:23.039
hair transforming into snakes. I know that I cannot allow

559
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:26.719
the other mortals that still remain to see me in

560
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:31.559
this way. My hair has shifted from being merely coiled

561
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:37.760
strands to solid. Soon they shall become living snakes once more.

562
00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:43.360
My eyes fall upon a ventilation duct. I may not

563
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:48.320
have my sword the blood Omen, but I do have

564
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:53.480
my claws. Using them, I easily remove the vent cover.

565
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:57.960
Much to my surprise, I am able to fit within

566
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:04.760
this vent feel my shoes fall away, no matter, I

567
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:09.280
have always been accustomed to fighting nearly naked. I am

568
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:14.440
a very proud Gorgon female. I continue to feel my

569
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:22.599
monster's strength returning. More and more I continue to change.

570
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:28.400
I can hear my hair hissing. Now I move through

571
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:33.920
the ventilation shaft, I keep hearing furniture being destroyed and

572
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:38.920
beat on screaming. Soon I find the vent opening and

573
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:43.440
easily push it open to come out. The lights are

574
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:48.119
still on. Bedone is unconscious and his face is covered

575
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:54.639
in blood. David Melichant lays close by. His face is

576
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:58.920
also covered in blood, as well as his jenes and

577
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:03.800
his hoodie. Clearly he used many of the wooden chairs

578
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:10.639
on Bedon. Melikant moans and sits up. Then he sees

579
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:15.679
me standing there. He gives me a weird look. I

580
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:19.280
know that I am not fully transformed, but I must

581
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:23.199
be enough to wear. He notices he could have taken

582
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.960
that stupid make up off. Melikant says, getting to his feet.

583
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:33.519
That's what your movies are, you know, stupid, bad riding,

584
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:37.280
bad acting, and we both know you're the worst of

585
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:44.639
the worst. I ignore his insults. You killed Beadon, Melikant shrugs.

586
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.360
Why not. He was worthless anyway. I still don't know

587
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.480
why I let him be on my staff. I even

588
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:56.039
let him be your handler. He kept pestering me to

589
00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:59.119
let him have you. I figured he just wanted to

590
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:03.000
stare at those fun bags of yours. But he's got

591
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:06.360
a real hard on for you. Maybe he watched a

592
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:10.800
lot of your porno movies. Speaking of which, why don't

593
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.960
we just get it on? You heard Reddin? He wants

594
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.480
to kill both of us, So why don't we just

595
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:21.800
fuck before he does? What would it matter to you

596
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:25.679
after all those porno movies? What's one more fuck? You'll

597
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:30.320
always be a whore, Valentine, there ain't no covering that

598
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:35.039
shit up. I growl and knock Melikant back to the

599
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:40.199
floor with a punch. He sits up and feels his jaw.

600
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:46.400
Wow for a bitch, you hit really hard, he sneers.

601
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:50.920
Then he gets back up to his feet. Veronda shall

602
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:54.920
savor beating you to a pulp for your insults this day.

603
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.880
I sneer back as I tighten my fists, and for

604
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:04.960
what you have done to Bedone? Just then I hear

605
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:09.760
Bedone moaning near by. I move to him to see

606
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:14.639
if he is well. In my excitement, Melikant grabs another

607
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.920
of the wooden chairs and breaks it over my head.

608
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:24.199
I find myself upon the floor next to Bedone. We'll

609
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:29.760
have fun soon, bitch, Melican says crazily, But I'm finishing

610
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:35.239
this bastard first. No, I growl and force myself to

611
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:39.960
get up. No, bitch, you stay down, he jeers when

612
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.199
he breaks another chair over my back. When I attempt

613
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.719
to get to my feet once more, he has bludgeoned

614
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:51.239
me with something metallic. The searing pain on my head

615
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:57.599
becomes too much. As I fall into darkness, I hear

616
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:04.039
Melikant again. I got no money left. I'm a ruined man.

617
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:11.360
Now I'm gonna ruin the both of you. Before I

618
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:18.079
fade completely, I vow that if I live, vengeance against

619
00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:29.159
David Mellikent shall be mine. Alright, my spookies. That was

620
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:33.519
part three, where the convention stopped being a weekend getaway

621
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:38.280
and officially became a crime scene with a schedule. But

622
00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:42.760
next week, Part four is the finish line, and it

623
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:47.760
gets ugly because the masks come off literally. The killer

624
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.039
finally gets what he's been chasing since Ridgeway, heights the

625
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:56.039
one person he believes owes him everything, and the lodge

626
00:48:56.039 --> 00:49:01.639
promoter is spiraling so hard he becomes his own of monster.

627
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:06.079
And as for Vicky Valentine, well, she doesn't just fight back.

628
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:11.840
She changes the things she's kept buried are surfacing quickly.

629
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:15.760
You'll see kidnappings, reveals, a chase into the blizzard, and

630
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:20.119
a finale where the debt gets paid with interest. So

631
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:23.920
be here next Wednesday for the thrilling conclusion of band

632
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:27.199
so you can get all of the gory details.

633
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:29.719
