While the investigation into Gabe’s disappearance continues, Isaiah calls in his fellow Marine and best friend to bail him out of trouble. Detective Michelle Reid is faced with yet another missing persons case, this time of a town councilman. And the clues left behind point to a strange connection with none other than Isaiah Williams.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mordeo is a production of I Heart Radio, Blumhouse Television
and Crypt TV in association with Wolf at the Door.
We think we know ourselves better than anyone else. Or
maybe that's a lot. Maybe I'm the only one who
(00:24):
can't see what I truly am. This is made. I
(00:55):
can only drive so fast, Isaiah, Sorry, just how far
are you? I'm an hour out an Okay, you got
the right place, scrappy, I will tell Yeah, dude, you
told me. I'm sorry. I say what exactly am I
driving into? I'll explain when you can't. I can't anyway
(01:21):
I see. So if I get a ticket, your pain,
Josh Lend Gianna Williams get down from that roof right now.
I'm not going. There's nothing wrong with me. Dr Larson
just wants to help. If you have questions or feelings
(01:43):
you don't understand. I understand everything just by that makes
one of us. Then you know I go to therapy too. Well.
I didn't say there wasn't anything wrong with you. If
you come down here, I promise I will go inside
and call Dr Larson. Came first, then I'll come down.
(02:04):
H Y. I want the forensic details on my backpack
on my desk the minute we have them. I wasn't
playing non sitting on him. Detective. Well, then we won't
(02:26):
have a problem, won't we. Drunk ass hill billy, A
few bourbons never made anyone a drunk gass Michelle Reid,
though the moonshine does make him a hell billy. Mrs Marshall,
I apologize. I didn't expect anyone in my office. It's
fine workplace. Aggression is a cruel bedfellow of nepotism. What
(02:51):
can I do for you? Mrs Marshall was hoping for
a wellness check on a friend of mine, Paul Douglas.
Wellness check. The man's been meat me at lose for
coffee the past forty years without fail. This morning he
didn't show up well. As you pointed out, nepotism seems
to have made wellness checks a little bit on my
(03:12):
pay grade. Paul Douglas was a significant contributor to your
father's election campaign, if I recall, it would be a
shame if his own daughter didn't take care of this
town like the Sheriff's office promised, especially its most avid supporters.
Not that financial entanglement has anything to do with protecting
(03:32):
and serving now does it? Of course not, so you'll
check in on Paul top of my list. Good, something's wrong,
Detective read. I can feel it in my bones. Wow.
(03:55):
Really getting a new appreciation for the term ship home
four five six b schnook thumbs. I'm home. Hi, you
look like hell quick inside? Oh there, soldier pregnant with
(04:21):
my own piss? Here? Do they even have flushing toilets
in the dumb? Do you? You don't want to go
in there? Jesus? Yeah? I can smell that much from here.
You should see a doctor about that. Just sit down, okay,
all right, okay, So how do I explain this? Dude?
(04:50):
Get ahold of yourself. I haven't seen you this jittery
since Depth Sergeant Sasquatch threatened to kick your ass the
second night on base. I don't even know where to start, Isaiah,
it's me. I got you. I just drove five miles
to hear whatever it is you're about to tell me,
So spit it out. Maybe it's better I'll show you
(05:15):
in the tone in the bag. Yeah, what the fuck?
What the bush? It's not what you think. A garbage
back full of bloody body parts inside the cheap motel
isn't what I think. I know. It looks bad. It
(05:36):
looks bad. I didn't know who else to call. When
people say they bury a body for you, it's just
the same. They don't mean it literally. I'm sorry. You're
the only one I could trust, the only one I
knew who would hear me out when I said I
didn't do this? Then who did? Whatever it was? I
think it lives in the woods. What yay? Kay? Come
(06:10):
out gay? I say, gay, I'm pried. He talked to
my brother. I'm over here. Okay, I got you, ship,
I say, it fucking cut my leg. Get the flash light.
It's in my backpack over there, got it? Sure? What
(06:36):
is it? Is it bad? I say, it's a bad
You got a first aid? Make a partment. No, don't
work on the bucket. That's gonna hurt you. Okay, you're
ready up? No, no, look time from the time. Hey, hey,
(07:00):
listen to me if you are not gonna die. We
said it came out here. Whatever attacked me, It wasn't
a bo it wasn't appeared. It was bigger said where.
The whole stories are true. So come on, those old
(07:23):
stories are full of ship. Remember right now, you just
gotta stay with me, Gabe. I calmed down brief, Okay,
focus on me good, and that's what the joss work.
(07:47):
So you saw something in the woods when you were
out there with your brother, and then it came back
again and killed this Paul guy. You know that sounds
like total bullshit, right? I swear all. I remember seeing
Paul in the woods and when I woke up, What
am I gonna do? If you really think you didn't
do this, maybe it's best to go to the police.
(08:07):
A black man with a known record and around the
mangle body parts of a white city council member. Yeah,
I'm sure they will totally accept that. I woke up
and he was like, this story, Come on, Cat, And
why should I accept it? Because you know me? Cat,
You know me. I know that you're always the best
of us overseas, and I know I wouldn't be alive
(08:29):
today if you weren't. But I also know there's a
dead body in the bad type that you can't explain.
God damn it. What's the craft? They fetus simplify? Always loyal?
But you didn't buy into indoctrination. I don't, but I
(08:50):
believe in paying my debts. You save my ass in couple,
I save your ass now, then we'll be square. Thank you,
don't thank me yet. First things first, we need to
get rid of all this. I said. We have two options,
Burnham or Buryham. We can't do that. I guess we
could think I'm in the river too little riskier. No,
(09:12):
I mean we can't get rid of them yet? Why not?
This isn't all of them? When's that says? Supposed to
(09:35):
be home? I thought he'd already been here. We're gonna
have a movie marathon. I'll only be gone a few hours.
I'm not sure there's enough time for a marathon. There
are eight Fast and Furious movies, and he promised we've
watched them all together. Fast and Furious. Absolutely not. Why
not let's table the discussion of the objectification of women
(09:58):
until Isaiah can hear it too. M Why don't you
like a Glasia? What are you talking about? Of course
I like him sometimes maybe, but not all the time.
I've known your uncle a while, and even when we
were kids, he was just hot and cold, meaning meaning,
(10:25):
mind your own business. Each popcorn m This is the
last place I remember. It's right off the county road.
You sure someone didn't see you. It was dark. Doesn't
mean no one did that is truck. Yeah, okay, one
(10:49):
problem at a time. I found most of them over here.
We're missing a leg, left leg and a head copy
head and left legs still, m I A you try
to clean up buried the blood in the dirt. Got
(11:12):
some showcasings over here. I think you had a rifle
with him. We shouldn't leave them behind. There are some
drag marks here. It looks like they head east back
into the woods. Oh no, don't let your dick shrink
on me. Now we have to go in there. We
don't have a choice. I know, cat, but listen, the
(11:34):
thing that did this it's dangerous. That's why I have
all twelve inches of this serrated beauty. You're the one
who dragged me into this raging dumpster fire. I'm not
stopping until we find the rest of that body. Come on,
Mr Douglas, ok Ridge falls p d. You really didn't
(12:03):
need to join me, Mrs Marshall. Paul's one of my
oldest friends. If there's something the matter, I want to
know about it. Huh, doors unlocked, that's unusual, I take it.
Man built his own bunker in the basement. It's more
than unusual. He must have left in a hurry. Mr
(12:26):
Douglas got a request for a wellness check. You want
to be sure you're all right. You take down here,
I'll look upstairs. Mrs Marshall, please wait outside, Mr Douglas.
(12:48):
What the hell? What is all this? September four? Subject
and row Subject trailed to north thirty eight oh one
oh two? West cops really can't help, Snoop? And can they? Nothing? Upstairs?
(13:14):
Did notice his truck's missing, though, So this isn't the
last place he's been. You're probably right, Lord, haven't seen
a huncle junk radio like that since we cleared out
my Daddy's shipped thirty years ago. Oh what'd you find that?
(13:34):
Not sure? Looks like a log of some kind, dates, times, coordinates,
like he was tracking something could be incollegible, that one
always acting like the head of the damned c I
A probably went sniffing around and found himself some trouble. Yeah,
(13:56):
but what kind of trouble? I'm not the detective, he am.
I some of this looks like it's written in code,
more likely some obscure bygone language. Paul was into that crap.
He minded in Latin. You know Latin. Nothing screams inferiority
(14:17):
complex more than a Latin minor. These entries start August one,
what about Probably a coincidence, it's just August first was
when we found Zaiah Williams. Excuse me, read, I'll be
(14:42):
right there. No, I want to see it myself. Thanks
(15:02):
for coming, Hernesto. I wouldn't have called, but you don't
have to convince me to spend time with my granddaughter. Hi,
Poppy Jocelyn. Wow, look at you all growing up in
the blink of an eye? Can you tell mom that
she still thinks I need a babysitter. He's not a babysitter.
He's here to hang out with you while you're gone.
(15:24):
It sounds like a babysitter than me. I smelled popcorn.
Does that mean win for a movie night? If you
like born PG stuff. She's got Barenta blocks up, maybe
a board game? Then great? Why don't you go choose
something and set it up for Poppy? Whatever? She's a spitfire,
(15:47):
a't she? Hm? You know that if it came around,
I'll only be gone a few hours. I just didn't
want her to be alone. Considering well, everything where you headed.
I have a grief counseling group, mats Over and Randolph.
(16:09):
I see, I used to go to Randolph myself for group.
Not exactly the same kind of guess, but take your time.
The nice thing about being retired. I don't have anywhere
else to be, because if you did, you wouldn't be here.
That's not what I meant, Ashley. I wasn't a good
(16:30):
father to the boys, I mean after Gigi passed, But
I want to do better now. I owe that much
to Gabe, and frankly, so does Isaiah. M hm, No,
you don't get to say that tonight's side. Isaiah has
been there for Joscelyn. You haven't. I'll be back as
(16:50):
soon as I can. Where was this thing going? We're
pretty deep in I think we should turn back. It's
(17:10):
nearly dark. Come on, Isaiah, there's no turning back from this.
What were you doing in the woods in the first place?
What do you mean You said you blacked out, but
you were already out here after everything with Gabe, I
think this would be the last place you'd ever want
to come back to. So why were you here? It's
(17:35):
a simple question, Soldier Jesus ship well with found his
leg what's left of it? Look at these nasty non
marks because some bear had a hearty lunch. I'm gonna
back this up, check the rest of the area. Okay,
(17:58):
Oh god, m h m hm. Now your friend, that's
his head up there. It's goddamn head, Yeah it is.
(18:19):
What is this place? It looks like an altar of
some kind. You need to get out of here. Kay?
Is there a history of cults in these woods? This
feels very culty? Alright, alright, let me get his head
in the back. Oh he was an ugly fucker. M
(18:51):
almost got it? Need to be so dramatic? Oh god, okay,
got it? Did you see that ship there? Hey? Are
you sorry? We need to leave now? Okay, we're gone,
(19:16):
come on, mhm two three, and I went again. Either
you're really lucky? Well I really suck at this game.
My dad was always lucky too. I bet you miss him.
(19:39):
That's what everyone keeps telling me. I'll be right back,
set up another Sure, I got nothing else to do, Michelle, Hi,
cap got the results from the backpack. I thought you
want to know, all right, you're not going to believe this.
(20:02):
Diagnostics found two sets of DNA they're confirmed. Both were
complete samples, fully intact. But the first sample yielded no results.
So they're not in the system. That's what I figured.
Two turns out they're not in any system. The sequencing
(20:22):
doesn't match any known species human or otherwise. Can you
use the other sample? Maybe? Does she shed some light
right the blood cap? It's escapes blood match cap. You're
(20:45):
still there? Have you informed Dashly? No? I wanted to
hear what you thought of the results. She should hobby
you coming. I need to go on, Michelle. I know
it doesn't seem like it, but this is good news.
Good news. It means I found something. There's something in
(21:06):
those woods, and whatever it is, God to your son.
We have to keep cooling. Okay, you need to rest
that leg just until don These blankets will help prevent
(21:26):
you from going into shock. Here laid out, you're gonna
be okay, I promise. Oh no, no, this is a steak.
I'll keep watching all right. Start thurning that out here.
We're gonna start running out full soon. Let me worry
about that. It's still out there. It's my nuts. Listen
to me. No, No, I'm gonna get you out of this.
(21:49):
I'm gonna get us out of here. I'm gonna get
you back to your family. Stop making brother, can't keep
that's that? Think not to just go to sleep. We'll
be fine until morning. Let's say it scared T know, Bro,
(22:12):
I am too. You really suck at climbing fences. I'd
like to see you climb a fence after getting your
leg man, go buy an I D enough with the
guilt chip already here, all right, empty the bag because
(22:36):
I'm a landfill kind of Bobby and stumps. Would you
want to go digging around in here? Cops don't either
unless they have to, and they don't have a reason
to expect he's here. Take these fires. You'll need to
take the teeth out if they do find something. Even
a partial jaw can be compared against dental records. I
(22:57):
want it all burn, better safe than sorry. M his
mouth stuck close. Try asking nicely. We'll have to stay
watching burn. Then burry whatever is left and spread the
ashes around the yard. Why do you know all this? Step? Mom?
(23:21):
Number three was an I D Channel junkie. Damn it's done.
That's the last two lighter fluid honors are yours? We
did it? Yeah, we did and now that my debt
(23:43):
is paid, you're gonna tell me why you've been lying
to me all day. You're gonna tell me the truth,
every goddamn bit of it. What do you do when
your instincts failure and you fear all that's left inside
(24:07):
you as darkness, all consuming, pitch black darkness? Do you
turn away from who you are? Do you walk into
the night? Next time? On more Dale, it's my head
(24:41):
whispers to me, is that this isn't from the hell here. No, no, wait,
he wouldn't do anything to game. He's not that kind
of person. Hie the hill, Open the door, Listen to

when we found Zaiah Williams. Excuse me, read, I'll be
(14:42):
right there. No, I want to see it myself. Thanks
(15:02):
for coming, Hernesto. I wouldn't have called, but you don't
have to convince me to spend time with my granddaughter. Hi,
Poppy Jocelyn. Wow, look at you all growing up in
the blink of an eye? Can you tell mom that
she still thinks I need a babysitter. He's not a babysitter.
He's here to hang out with you while you're gone.
(15:24):
It sounds like a babysitter than me. I smelled popcorn.
Does that mean win for a movie night? If you
like born PG stuff. She's got Barenta blocks up, maybe
a board game? Then great? Why don't you go choose
something and set it up for Poppy? Whatever? She's a spitfire,
(15:47):
a't she? Hm? You know that if it came around,
I'll only be gone a few hours. I just didn't
want her to be alone. Considering well, everything where you headed.
I have a grief counseling group, mats Over and Randolph.
(16:09):
I see, I used to go to Randolph myself for group.
Not exactly the same kind of guess, but take your time.
The nice thing about being retired. I don't have anywhere
else to be, because if you did, you wouldn't be here.
That's not what I meant, Ashley. I wasn't a good
(16:30):
father to the boys, I mean after Gigi passed, But
I want to do better now. I owe that much
to Gabe, and frankly, so does Isaiah. M hm, No,
you don't get to say that tonight's side. Isaiah has
been there for Joscelyn. You haven't. I'll be back as
(16:50):
soon as I can. Where was this thing going? We're
pretty deep in I think we should turn back. It's
(17:10):
nearly dark. Come on, Isaiah, there's no turning back from this.
What were you doing in the woods in the first place?
What do you mean You said you blacked out, but
you were already out here after everything with Gabe, I
think this would be the last place you'd ever want
to come back to. So why were you here? It's
(17:35):
a simple question, Soldier Jesus ship well with found his
leg what's left of it? Look at these nasty non
marks because some bear had a hearty lunch. I'm gonna
back this up, check the rest of the area. Okay,
(17:58):
Oh god, m h m hm. Now your friend, that's
his head up there. It's goddamn head, Yeah it is.
(18:19):
What is this place? It looks like an altar of
some kind. You need to get out of here. Kay?
Is there a history of cults in these woods? This
feels very culty? Alright, alright, let me get his head
in the back. Oh he was an ugly fucker. M
(18:51):
almost got it? Need to be so dramatic? Oh god, okay,
got it? Did you see that ship there? Hey? Are
you sorry? We need to leave now? Okay, we're gone,
(19:16):
come on, mhm two three, and I went again. Either
you're really lucky? Well I really suck at this game.
My dad was always lucky too. I bet you miss him.

That's what everyone keeps telling me. I'll be right back,
set up another Sure, I got nothing else to do, Michelle, Hi,
cap got the results from the backpack. I thought you
want to know, all right, you're not going to believe this.
(20:02):
Diagnostics found two sets of DNA they're confirmed. Both were
complete samples, fully intact. But the first sample yielded no results.
So they're not in the system. That's what I figured.
Two turns out they're not in any system. The sequencing
(20:22):
doesn't match any known species human or otherwise. Can you
use the other sample? Maybe? Does she shed some light
right the blood cap? It's escapes blood match cap. You're
(20:45):
still there? Have you informed Dashly? No? I wanted to
hear what you thought of the results. She should hobby
you coming. I need to go on, Michelle. I know
it doesn't seem like it, but this is good news.
Good news. It means I found something. There's something in
(21:06):
those woods, and whatever it is, God to your son.
We have to keep cooling. Okay, you need to rest
that leg just until don These blankets will help prevent
(21:26):
you from going into shock. Here laid out, you're gonna
be okay, I promise. Oh no, no, this is a steak.
I'll keep watching all right. Start thurning that out here.
We're gonna start running out full soon. Let me worry
about that. It's still out there. It's my nuts. Listen
to me. No, No, I'm gonna get you out of this.

like to see you climb a fence after getting your
leg man, go buy an I D enough with the
guilt chip already here, all right, empty the bag because
(22:36):
I'm a landfill kind of Bobby and stumps. Would you
want to go digging around in here? Cops don't either
unless they have to, and they don't have a reason
to expect he's here. Take these fires. You'll need to
take the teeth out if they do find something. Even
a partial jaw can be compared against dental records. I
(22:57):
want it all burn, better safe than sorry. M his
mouth stuck close. Try asking nicely. We'll have to stay
watching burn. Then burry whatever is left and spread the
ashes around the yard. Why do you know all this? Step? Mom?
(23:21):
Number three was an I D Channel junkie. Damn it's done.
That's the last two lighter fluid honors are yours? We
did it? Yeah, we did and now that my debt
(23:43):
is paid, you're gonna tell me why you've been lying
to me all day. You're gonna tell me the truth,
every goddamn bit of it. What do you do when
your instincts failure and you fear all that's left inside
(24:07):
you as darkness, all consuming, pitch black darkness? Do you
turn away from who you are? Do you walk into
the night? Next time? On more Dale, it's my head
