Unlikely alliances form as Isaiah’s life spirals into the greater war between the Mordeo and the mysterious Ward. Just when Isaiah feels he may have found a way to contain his Mordean self, he faces a betrayal that may cost him his life.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mordeo is a production of I Heart Radio, Blumhouse Television
and Crypt TV, in association with Wolf at the Door.
I'm not afraid of dying, but death something that unprotectable, unfeeling, unstoppable.
(00:23):
I don't know a worse thing to fear. This is mardo. Yeah, okay, no,
(01:09):
how did I get back home? Fire? That was burning,
not blessterings gross as hell, but it's healing at least
I think I remember that from field training. Okay, you're alive.
Stop right, there's close enough for now. I thought you
were dead, says the fried corpse. What the hell happened
(01:31):
to you? I should be dead unless No, no, that's
not possible. Whoa hey, where are you going? Hi? Say
I have to be able to kill it, and you're
gonna stap it out of you? You're right, maybe, said
I can't kill it from the outside. Maybe I have
to kill it from the inside. Have you completely snapped?
(01:56):
Put the bleach down? Jesus, are you kidding me? I
have to die. It has to die right, good? Slow
(02:27):
the boat forward, the rifles live now, which means it's lethal.
It should be treated as such at all times. Don't
patronize me, Michelle I'm trying to help you, Ashley. You
must be loving this. I told you you don't need
to do this part. I'm fully capable of handling heart
of the ward, now, aren't I. I got a brand
(02:47):
that says so anyway, keep your voice down. This is
my fight even more than it is yours. We're not
a team, Michelle, We're allies of circumstance at Mrs Mother
Marshall says, we only have a few seconds to take
a more dale out as they transition. If that's the
(03:09):
only window they can be killed, we need to make
those seconds count. So what's next? You want to stand
with your feet apart? Good? Now, put the end of
the stock tight against your shoulder here to absorb the kickback.
Now hold up, put these on. Now turn the safety off,
(03:33):
but don't put your hand on the trigger until you're ready. Okay.
Sometimes it helps to breathe through the shop. Deep breath,
then lock onto your target. Then room good. Now damn
(03:57):
I suck loaded again? Gold, damn it, But of sleeping
pills would have probably hurt less. How long was out?
(04:18):
A couple of hours? Tops? I can't even die. I'm
glad you think it's funny because it scares the ship
out of me. Ms Burns. You did that to yourself,
didn't You tried to do the right thing? Where were
you all that time? I looked everywhere? Where were you?
(04:42):
I took off and spare me. I know I'm not
going down in any Guinness Book of Best Friends. But
this is too much for me, Isaiah. It's been too
much the whole time. But I thought, I don't know,
maybe I was better than I was braver. And why
are you here now? I guess I didn't have it
in me to leave a man behind. You need me.
(05:05):
You should turn me into the police. Tell them about
Paul Douglas. I want to criminate you. I'll be locked
up and you'll be free of all of this. You
know when you'd have weird experiments done on you once
they see what you are. No. I watched enough X
files to know that doesn't end well. Give me that, Mova. Look,
we need to find some way to contain you when
you turn like what. I don't know, something strong enough
(05:29):
to keep everyone you love safe and maybe keep you
safe from everyone else too. But I have no idea
what that might be. I think I might here. It
(05:51):
is the Bennett model. Ninety eight bolt action fifty cow
k mr riffle. This beast is military grade fifty caliber.
That's a big bullet. Yes, that's a big gas bullet, ma'am.
I don't suggest this type of machinery for a beginner.
Something small i'm more manageable, like the Reddington seven might
(06:12):
be a little more your size. Nope, I'll take this one.
Five rounds, Just five rounds. Well, that's what it holds, right, Yeah,
Hell out this paperwork to authorise of background check as
a forty eight hour hold. Or you can take the
extra five d from the top of the stack and
(06:33):
let me leave with this now, courtesy of my late
husband's insurance policy. He was a real supporter of his
Second Amendment rights. I'll get you those rounds. He's right,
that thing can do some damage. You better be careful.
(06:53):
Thanks for the unsolicited advice. I'll be sure to ask
for it next time. I know it's none of my business.
I'm just thinking a gun may not be the best
solution to your problem. Please don't lecture me. If you'd
have asked me a few weeks ago, if i'd be here,
of all places. Let's see somebody scare you or somebody
(07:15):
hurt you, you don't have to tell me. Sometimes it's
liberating to unload on a complete stranger, so you scared
or hurt both. In that case, I suggest looking him
straight in the eye before you pull the trigger. It'll
let him know exactly who you are. Five rounds as requested. Thanks?
(07:42):
Do you know who that was? The other customer that
just left didn't know. Anyone else came in. I think
it's time for you to get out of my store, right,
fair enough? Jesus, this is freaking heavy Last America. Now,
don't come back. You're here, Jocelyn, Come on, sleepy hand,
(08:14):
it's fast new Hey, you're up. I found these pictures
in the closet. It's my dad when he was a kid. Yeah, yeah,
that's him. What's he doing? He tied that sheet around
his neck as a cake, you know, like Superman. Do
you have any more? I'm sure I do. You're not
(08:36):
gona took photos of everything when those boys were younger?
Can I see him? Hold that thought? I said, what
are you doing here? Give your son a second? He
stood over knocking for like ten minutes. It's been very
cats in the cradle. You can't be here. I wouldn't
have come unless I needed to. Believe me, I can't
(08:58):
for Grandpa's tools, what are you need them for. I'm
not letting you leave with them until I know how
father leave here. We need them to build something continent,
not to build something to reinforce, something to sell At
the old jail house, I do on rudate. That place
has been vacant for years. What could you possibly want
to do all the way out there? Don't look at me.
(09:18):
I've been sworn to askin in secrecy. You too, learn
how to weld in the core or something. No, we're
both combat trained, so you need more than Grandpa's tools.
You need someone who knows how to use them. You're
that's someone that knows how to use them might take it.
My father, Isaiah's grandfather was hard to construct what's now
the old Town jail back in the sixties. I helped
him work that summer. So you've literally done it before,
(09:41):
I guess, but I still don't understand why you need it.
I say it. Please tell me what's going on. This
was a mistake. We should go, I say, I forget
we were here. This is bigger than whatever ship you're
holding onto. Please, if you want to help me, Pop, fine,
but I don't owe you any answers. What I tell
(10:03):
you it's on my terms. Is it illegal. Let's just
say it's not what you think, not even close. I'll
do it. I'll help you. I just I can't right now. Surprise, surprise.
I can't leave Joscelyn. Oh. I didn't know she was here.
Astley doesn't want to want her to be alone. I know.
I'm the one who suggested that Cat can stay with me.
(10:26):
If she stays, I won't be alone. I don't think
that's a good idea. You're right, it's a terrible idea.
If I said a trust her, I trust her. Right now,
I say I need your help. Not gonna happen. I
hate kids, no offense. This is your plan, Cat, and
I can't do it without him. Please keep us safe
for me. One of us is going to regret this.
(10:49):
Thank you, Come on the wealth and gears and storage.
Sorry for putting an extra lock on the gate. Miss
reed falls when kids get the idea to smoke joints
and tell ghost stories in these maus Liam's that's all right.
(11:13):
I guess I don't visit as much as I planned to.
No one ever. Take your time. Hi Graham, I remember
you like lilies or he hated them. I guess you're
not gonna nag me either way, you being dead, and
(11:35):
now I've been thinking about you lately. I guess when
other people visit family graves, it's to bring them some
sort of solace, make them feel like it's okay. They've
moved on, but not me. I'm still here trying to
prove I'm worth something to a dead woman. You never
(12:00):
believed in me, and it wasn't tough love, not like that.
It was like you saw me for what I would
never be. I wasn't talented enough, wasn't strong or smart enough.
I wasn't cutthroat enough to survive this world. And no
matter how many nights I stayed awake trying to convince myself,
(12:21):
you're just a mean old bitch. I knew you were right.
I understand that now, but I'm here to tell you
you are wrong. I know exactly what I have to do.
And it's just like you said, not even dead can
(12:43):
stop a true read. It's funny to think of you
in here now, Even this place, with all it's grandeer,
it couldn't stop your bones. From turning to the dust.
M maybe that warmer, cold dead heart, you bitch. I
(13:17):
should be able to buy these with the reek of bars,
especially when the cell may have rusted, and they'll be
strong enough. That's the idea, strong enough to hold something
that can break through change? What kind of thing can
break through change? All right, Isaiah, if we worked through
the night, we should finish in time and time for what? Right?
(13:40):
No questions, no answers, unlet's keep going, keep you right? Seriously,
who doesn't have Netflix? People like books or online poker? Well,
a missile doesn't strike me as the reading type. Probably
(14:02):
likes crime novels, romance novels when he's lonely. See that
is why I'm never having children. You always know exactly
what we wish. You didn't like little covert cocka roaches.
I take it it means there's no chance you're gonna
tell me what's going on with Isaiah zero? Like you're marine.
(14:24):
Like Isaiah. We were stationed in Afghanistan together. We became
really close over there. Did you like hook up or something? No,
we didn't like hook up or something. God, aren't you
like ten twelve? Same thing? Isaiah is basically my brother. Besides,
(14:47):
women are far more fascinating to me than some Harry
dood trying to poke me with this. Sorry, it's okay,
I know what a penis is. Stupid. I'm not sure
your mom would approve of my influence. Yeah, well, my
mom's not one a Mother of the Year or anything
compared to any mom I've had. She seems pretty great.
She abandoned me here with Poppy. I haven't seen her
(15:09):
in days, Is that true? Yeah? Uh, well, your grandpa
was a cop. She probably thinks you're pretty safe with him.
Can you at least tell me it's my uncle? Okay?
What makes you think he's not everything? He's been different
ever since he came back from the woods. Yeah, God,
(15:31):
camping trip turned out to be a raw deal for you,
didn't it. I know a lot of people don't think
so all the time, But I say he's a good person.
He has a good heart, and I think people with
good hearts and will even if what they do is wrong.
Sometimes that's a nice sentiment, kid, but life isn't that simple.
Sometimes good hearts do bad things just like bad hearts
(15:54):
do good things. It's better to go through life thinking
everyone's gonna screw you over. Sometime you can't trust the anybody.
So you're saying I shouldn't trust you. No, you shouldn't.
Ship that's me. I have to go what you can't
leave me alone. Now that I know that you're twelve,
I feel way less guilty about this. I was home
(16:14):
by myself way before that. But as I said, you
need to stay here and keep me safe. I really
don't have a choice. Look, your grandpa will be back soon.
In the meantime, if you get scared, hide in the closet.
The way back always worked for me. You'll be fine,
I promise. Almost there. Ah, there she is? Are you
(16:50):
holding up down there? Isaiah? How much longer? Just the
last coper there? As good as this? Your grandfather always
said I had him back for it. Why didn't you
keep his business? Well, it was because of that summer
actually working on this jail house. There was some protests
(17:10):
a few counties over. I wasn't allowed to go, but
a bunch of my friends did, got themselves arrested. Some
of them trickled back the next day or so. Others
we didn't see for weeks, And when they came back,
it was like the fight was beating out of them.
They weren't ever the same. Really, I couldn't get what
happened to them out of my mind. But I still
(17:31):
had to come back here, and as we put up
sell after sell, I decided I wanted to be the
one on the outside of the bars instead of the
one behind them. Sure, that's why I was such a disappointment. No, no,
it's why I envied you. You don't let fair rule.
You never have. It's what I admired about your mother too.
I might not always understand you, but I admire you.
(17:53):
Y Saia Ready, yeah, wait, browt up a minute? What
is it? Listen? Do you hear that character here? Hard? No?
(18:13):
Can I? Yeah? Yeah? H it's up? Wrong's hard? I think?
Can I keep going down? Fresh? No? What are we're doing?
(18:34):
Get out of there? And it's it? It beat time
to that finish it dead now Fresh? It's hard, all right, hard,
sw It's done. I say, are you all right? I'm
(19:02):
coming into step back? What are you doing here? Get
away from the law. He looks sick. I think it's
going to go back to your place. Jocelyn needs you
that nesto. I got it from here, but I'm not
going to let you open that cage. Now go Now
they go to Joshly. I'll be fine. Take care of him.
(19:28):
You were supposed to leave him, leave a twelve year
old alone, or let you go your dad. Pretty shitty options, Isaiah.
Are you turning? No? Not yet? Looks Turnny feels sturdy too.
You shouldn't stay in case they don't all. I won't
leave me the flashlight. Then it'll be pitch black out here. Goodbye, Isaiah. Okay, okay, yes,
(20:10):
Ms Morales, it's done. I did what you asked the ward.
Thanks you for your service, he said, this was the
only way. Yes, it is, I must admit. And all
the time we've been watching you, I never suspected you'd
be of use to us, not willingly anyway. Fuck you, lady.
(20:30):
I'm doing this for Isaiah. He doesn't want to live
like this. He did himself if he could. I wonder
would he have tried to take his own life if
he didn't know somewhere deep inside he would survive. I
suppose we won't ever really know. Now, you said, when
this is over, I'll be washed clean of everything. I
can go back to my life and leave all this behind.
(20:53):
We keep our promises. As long as you keep yours,
will it hurt when you kill him? When he suffer,
He's already suffering, and he'll only cause others to suffer
with him. You've done the right thing and it'll all
be over soon enough. And when it is, we'll set
(21:13):
you both free. You understand what I mean. We'll be
in touch. M hmm happy. The Closet cast said that
(21:45):
in the Closet Past, remember me from the Green Pimo
tell you were looking for your uncle when we agreed
to be strangers. Look, I'm sure I'm scaring the but
(22:08):
Jesus out of you, but your family is in grave danger,
and I think you know that. Your grandpa, your uncle,
your mother, they're in trouble. But we can help. I
just need you to trust me. Can you do that?
(22:33):
Will you come out here and trust me? What kind
of danger? Hello? Who's there? Ashley? Hello? Isaiah? No, no,
(23:01):
don't don't, don't unlock it. I've been looking for you.
How did you find me? Your cell phone? Family plan? Remember,
don't call to me closer. I'm sorry as I am,
but I can't let them kill you, not yet. Mm
(23:24):
hmmm hm ah. Dying is easy, but facing death facing
a lifetime of while you fell to atone for that's
(23:48):
the cross we all must bear in the end. Next
time on More Day Home, where are you? I can't
(24:11):
tell you, God damn it, are like that useless shit.
You're one of them. Let's go. I can't hold now.

prove I'm worth something to a dead woman. You never
(12:00):
believed in me, and it wasn't tough love, not like that.
It was like you saw me for what I would
never be. I wasn't talented enough, wasn't strong or smart enough.
I wasn't cutthroat enough to survive this world. And no
matter how many nights I stayed awake trying to convince myself,
(12:21):
you're just a mean old bitch. I knew you were right.
I understand that now, but I'm here to tell you
you are wrong. I know exactly what I have to do.
And it's just like you said, not even dead can
(12:43):
stop a true read. It's funny to think of you
in here now, Even this place, with all it's grandeer,
it couldn't stop your bones. From turning to the dust.
M maybe that warmer, cold dead heart, you bitch. I
(13:17):
should be able to buy these with the reek of bars,
especially when the cell may have rusted, and they'll be
strong enough. That's the idea, strong enough to hold something
that can break through change? What kind of thing can
break through change? All right, Isaiah, if we worked through
the night, we should finish in time and time for what? Right?
(13:40):
No questions, no answers, unlet's keep going, keep you right? Seriously,
who doesn't have Netflix? People like books or online poker? Well,
a missile doesn't strike me as the reading type. Probably
(14:02):
likes crime novels, romance novels when he's lonely. See that
is why I'm never having children. You always know exactly
what we wish. You didn't like little covert cocka roaches.
I take it it means there's no chance you're gonna
tell me what's going on with Isaiah zero? Like you're marine.
(14:24):
Like Isaiah. We were stationed in Afghanistan together. We became
really close over there. Did you like hook up or something? No,
we didn't like hook up or something. God, aren't you
like ten twelve? Same thing? Isaiah is basically my brother. Besides,
(14:47):
women are far more fascinating to me than some Harry
dood trying to poke me with this. Sorry, it's okay,
I know what a penis is. Stupid. I'm not sure
your mom would approve of my influence. Yeah, well, my
mom's not one a Mother of the Year or anything
compared to any mom I've had. She seems pretty great.
She abandoned me here with Poppy. I haven't seen her
(15:09):
in days, Is that true? Yeah? Uh, well, your grandpa
was a cop. She probably thinks you're pretty safe with him.
Can you at least tell me it's my uncle? Okay?
What makes you think he's not everything? He's been different
ever since he came back from the woods. Yeah, God,
(15:31):
camping trip turned out to be a raw deal for you,
didn't it. I know a lot of people don't think
so all the time, But I say he's a good person.
He has a good heart, and I think people with
good hearts and will even if what they do is wrong.
Sometimes that's a nice sentiment, kid, but life isn't that simple.
Sometimes good hearts do bad things just like bad hearts
(15:54):
do good things. It's better to go through life thinking
everyone's gonna screw you over. Sometime you can't trust the anybody.
So you're saying I shouldn't trust you. No, you shouldn't.
Ship that's me. I have to go what you can't
leave me alone. Now that I know that you're twelve,
I feel way less guilty about this. I was home
(16:14):
by myself way before that. But as I said, you
need to stay here and keep me safe. I really
don't have a choice. Look, your grandpa will be back soon.
In the meantime, if you get scared, hide in the closet.
The way back always worked for me. You'll be fine,
I promise. Almost there. Ah, there she is? Are you
(16:50):
holding up down there? Isaiah? How much longer? Just the
last coper there? As good as this? Your grandfather always
said I had him back for it. Why didn't you
keep his business? Well, it was because of that summer
actually working on this jail house. There was some protests
(17:10):
a few counties over. I wasn't allowed to go, but
a bunch of my friends did, got themselves arrested. Some
of them trickled back the next day or so. Others
we didn't see for weeks, And when they came back,
it was like the fight was beating out of them.
They weren't ever the same. Really, I couldn't get what
happened to them out of my mind. But I still
(17:31):
had to come back here, and as we put up
sell after sell, I decided I wanted to be the
one on the outside of the bars instead of the
one behind them. Sure, that's why I was such a disappointment. No, no,
it's why I envied you. You don't let fair rule.
You never have. It's what I admired about your mother too.
I might not always understand you, but I admire you.
(17:53):
Y Saia Ready, yeah, wait, browt up a minute? What
is it? Listen? Do you hear that character here? Hard? No?
(18:13):
Can I? Yeah? Yeah? H it's up? Wrong's hard? I think?
Can I keep going down? Fresh? No? What are we're doing?
(18:34):
Get out of there? And it's it? It beat time
to that finish it dead now Fresh? It's hard, all right, hard,
sw It's done. I say, are you all right? I'm
(19:02):
coming into step back? What are you doing here? Get
away from the law. He looks sick. I think it's
going to go back to your place. Jocelyn needs you
that nesto. I got it from here, but I'm not
going to let you open that cage. Now go Now
they go to Joshly. I'll be fine. Take care of him.
(19:28):
You were supposed to leave him, leave a twelve year
old alone, or let you go your dad. Pretty shitty options, Isaiah.
Are you turning? No? Not yet? Looks Turnny feels sturdy too.
You shouldn't stay in case they don't all. I won't
leave me the flashlight. Then it'll be pitch black out here. Goodbye, Isaiah. Okay, okay, yes,
(20:10):
Ms Morales, it's done. I did what you asked the ward.
Thanks you for your service, he said, this was the
only way. Yes, it is, I must admit. And all
the time we've been watching you, I never suspected you'd
be of use to us, not willingly anyway. Fuck you, lady.
(20:30):
I'm doing this for Isaiah. He doesn't want to live
like this. He did himself if he could. I wonder
would he have tried to take his own life if
he didn't know somewhere deep inside he would survive. I
suppose we won't ever really know. Now, you said, when
this is over, I'll be washed clean of everything. I
can go back to my life and leave all this behind.
(20:53):
We keep our promises. As long as you keep yours,
will it hurt when you kill him? When he suffer,
He's already suffering, and he'll only cause others to suffer
with him. You've done the right thing and it'll all
be over soon enough. And when it is, we'll set
(21:13):
you both free. You understand what I mean. We'll be
in touch. M hmm happy. The Closet cast said that
(21:45):
in the Closet Past, remember me from the Green Pimo
tell you were looking for your uncle when we agreed
to be strangers. Look, I'm sure I'm scaring the but
(22:08):
Jesus out of you, but your family is in grave danger,
and I think you know that. Your grandpa, your uncle,
your mother, they're in trouble. But we can help. I
just need you to trust me. Can you do that?
(22:33):
Will you come out here and trust me? What kind
of danger? Hello? Who's there? Ashley? Hello? Isaiah? No, no,
(23:01):
don't don't, don't unlock it. I've been looking for you.
How did you find me? Your cell phone? Family plan? Remember,
don't call to me closer. I'm sorry as I am,
but I can't let them kill you, not yet. Mm
(23:24):
hmmm hm ah. Dying is easy, but facing death facing
a lifetime of while you fell to atone for that's
(23:48):
the cross we all must bear in the end. Next
time on More Day Home, where are you? I can't
(24:11):
tell you, God damn it, are like that useless shit.
You're one of them. Let's go. I can't hold now.
