Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Miniwauk Caves is intended for mature audiences. It contains
strong language and depictions of bullying, violence, and sexual assault
that some may find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised. Also,
this is an extremely immersive experience, and headphones are recommended.
You're listening to The Maniwac Caves, a production of iHeartRadio,
(00:21):
Blumhouse Television, and Psycopia Pictures.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The fog is rolling and thick in the valley. It
whips by my windows and gusts, moving fast, faster than
I could run, faster than my soul could hope to
fly up to the holy Sun. And it keeps coming
in endless gloom at one hundred miles an hour. I
(00:55):
could hardly see my own face in the side, and
merrits so goddamn thick, and I wouldn't recognize myself anymore
even then, because my eyes don't seem.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Like my own anymore. There's something else in there.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
In the reflection watching me.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
I'm scared.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
The closer I come to the truth, the more frequently
the blackouts happen, because the caves don't want me to
know the truth. But I'm close now, closer than ever,
despite the fog and the noise. Despite the blackouts, the
memories are getting sharper. Bits and pieces of my path
(01:43):
that were completely blank have crystallized, And I have my tape.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
For the rest.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
A ghost and a mirror and the hounds of hell
dancing in your, dancing in you.
Speaker 8 (02:18):
The mouse sings tar river of el who climbed inside
and tells these lanes, tells these lanes.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Somebody screaming for help and no answer, a feedback.
Speaker 9 (02:40):
Loop gone wrong.
Speaker 10 (02:41):
Does it fight when you're all.
Speaker 11 (02:51):
It was my idea.
Speaker 12 (02:53):
Look them down in the case, get them lost, watch
them fall apart like the cowards we knew they were.
We weren't gonna make them ship their pants and videotapeic
get footage of them crying and freaking out. I couldn't
let those spoils ship let's get away with it anymore.
It had gone too far. It was time they got theirs,
(03:17):
you know. It was time for revenge.
Speaker 9 (03:24):
To be tilanside.
Speaker 10 (03:41):
Nice.
Speaker 13 (03:46):
If you were driving, I need you to pull over.
Speaker 10 (03:49):
So I'm not trying.
Speaker 14 (04:01):
James Fincher just confessed killing Thncoln and Thomas Handley.
Speaker 11 (04:39):
Thanks for joining us tonight.
Speaker 15 (04:41):
We are avoarding one of bizarre turn of events and the.
Speaker 16 (04:45):
Attorney General's office that Fincher has now drin double I'm
not brood, only hours after the Governor had intervened on
his behalf with an older that the Governor has relearsed
in decision and Fincher's execution is still set for ABM tonight.
Speaker 12 (05:00):
Many unknowns now well, we don't even know the circumstances
of this supposed confession.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No one from James Fincher's legal team was present.
Speaker 17 (05:09):
Now, look, we are on the verge of murdering a
man without allowing him or the state or Tennessee the
opportunity to Governor of Justice.
Speaker 16 (05:16):
That there was new evidence in the case, wrongly, evidence
that could prove that Governor was preparing to commute fin
Your's sentence entirely, when in these final hours before his
scheduled execution, Fincher himself released a sworn statement confessing to
the crime.
Speaker 18 (05:31):
If there is any chance of saving your soul, now
is the time time to give the family what they need,
the peace they deserve.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
James, go ahead, now, James Fincher.
Speaker 19 (06:00):
Confessed to the crimes for which I have been convicted
and for which I have been sentenced.
Speaker 20 (06:06):
I hope that this will bring both families to peace
they deserve.
Speaker 13 (06:16):
Julian Julian Julian Julian.
Speaker 11 (06:27):
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
The reverend had brobbed him, said a Finch confessed to
the murders. He would make sure Dina and Jimmy were
well cared for. He would bring them into his flock,
set up a church fund, and make them an example
of how the Lord's goodness is mightier than the devil's eavol.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I guess Finn should taken the bride.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Lined with rage and tears, I staggered back to my car,
clutching the video camera that Tyler sent me.
Speaker 21 (07:13):
H h, it's yours. It's your truth, it's your decision
about what to do with it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):

Speaker 11 (13:44):

Speaker 30 (13:51):
Julian Julian h she told you that don't come.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Do you get it now?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
My heart's all swollen like a balloon in my chest,
and there was no room for my lungs.
Speaker 30 (14:16):
We each have our own part.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I couldn't breathe.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
The air was hot and wet, with my own dress,
fog in the windows.
Speaker 30 (14:23):
I was holding on to the hope maybe you know,
maybe I was crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It wasn't my car anymore, but that it was just
a metal box.
Speaker 31 (14:31):
I was trapped inside off and I tried to reach
for the door, but my hand weighed a hundred pounds fence.
He can see things, whether the ghost of Tyler Wilson
was actually sitting beside me.
Speaker 30 (14:42):
I had to accept it things other people can.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It was happening, whether it was real or not.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
So he knew what he had to do.
Speaker 21 (14:52):
Me.
Speaker 30 (14:53):
All I had was my five senses in the caves,
trying to hide the truth, m trying to hide from me,
try to trick my mind. So I ran a few experiments.
I charted it on the patterns, and the only thing
I could figure for certain. If I cut off the
(15:16):
case from the rest of the world, then nobody else
would have to suffer. Problem solved.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So I did what I had to do.
Speaker 30 (15:28):
Finched on his part, I done mine. Now you've got
to do yours. Buddy, buckstops with you, because it's going
to happen again if you don't stop it.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
What's gonna happen?
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Murder?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I didn't kill those points.
Speaker 30 (16:00):
Apes weren't never gonna let us go.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I didn't kill those boys.
Speaker 30 (16:04):
Finch told you the time would come tough for to
remove yourself from the situation before it gets in your
head again, before anyone else gets hurt.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
You want me to run.
Speaker 25 (16:20):
My whole life.
Speaker 30 (16:21):
No, you can't run, So you have to end it.
You're the only one who can. You have to take
yourself out of the situation before it's too late. Hell huh,
(16:42):
you still have the detective's gun.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Don't.
Speaker 30 (16:48):
It's right here in the glove box. You say, remove
yourself from the situation.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
My fingers groped for the door and slipped on the wetness.
Somehow I managed to pull the handle and open the door.
I could barely see through the rain and fall. I
couldn't feel my body, but I forced one foot in
front of the other and made my way back up
the wet, fern covered hill back to my mother's grave.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I shut my eyes, and everything stopped. The rain stopped,
the crow stopped, the wind stopped. Like I was suspended
and avoid a vacuum of time and space. Then now
(17:48):
I felt the damp rocks beneath my body.
Speaker 32 (17:50):
And now I heard the low, dull wind bending and
howling through the hollow space, heard water dripping from the
still attites, the fluttering and chirping of a thousand bats
in the distance.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
But I keep my eyes shut tight for fear. I
might confirm by sight, but my heart already knew that
I was now deep inside the case. Then I felt
her fingers in my hair, soft but strong. I looked
(18:23):
up and saw her face above me, her sweet cheeks
and beautiful dark eyes.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
My mother.
Speaker 28 (18:39):
It's okay, baby, Mom. Yeah, baby, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
But I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
How could I have done those things?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah? I know, I know.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
There comes a time, though, when you got to accept
the truth.
Speaker 28 (19:02):
Julian, There comes a time when you got to accept
who you are.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
What you are.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's what I hid me, my mother's fingers plying gently
upon my hair like a warm summer breathe. All I'd
ever wanted was to get away as far away as possible,
away from my mother and father, away from the bullies,
away from the racist and backward sheriffs, away from the
shadow of my mother's death, away from myself, away from myself.
(19:37):
All I wanted was to belong to something for once,
And I.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Felt so warm in my mother's laugh. I realized that
this was the only sanctuary I'd ever known.
Speaker 28 (19:50):
Oh, it's been only your breath, all your heart beats,
and just running, never knowing what real love is.
Speaker 19 (20:04):
And you run out of potsman, you run away from meniwalk,
and you run away from your family, You run from
the truth.
Speaker 28 (20:17):
But you can't, baby, you can't run away from.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
Yourself and who you are?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Who a my mom?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
A crowd?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You are the last of us.
Speaker 20 (20:35):
And then I saw them, all of them, the entire
unholy horde, All of my ancestors were standing behind my mother,
all gathered in the matrix of your caves.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
My father, the gray Man, stood behind my mother, his
blue eyes gleaming, his hair parted on the side. He
wears a blue suit.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
He was buried.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Then a few behind him there was Matthew sweet Sir,
a distant cousin who committed suicide in the case two
decades before.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Half his head blown off.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Richard ride down too, the leather straps from his electric
chair still dangling from his wrists and cinched around his forehead.
And behind him a family dressed in woolen rags, the Leary's,
I assumed, father Seamus, mother Eleanor, and two daughters.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Milicent and Nadine.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Young Nadine O'Leary dressed in rags, missing fingers and parts
of her face from frostbite, looking just as she did
the knight.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Solomon's house went up in flames.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Others were there too.
Speaker 20 (21:42):
Hundreds of them, spread deep throughout the caves, all standing
before me.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
Eventually he.
Speaker 33 (21:50):
Comes for each one of us, and some have and
some have a blige, others others. Others well, they refused,
and they suffered it, and they suffered.
Speaker 19 (22:05):
The consequences some and some have taken their own lives
before he could.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Make them take others.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
We are your family, Julia said, this is your family.
Speaker 15 (22:20):
Never give up, never give up on.
Speaker 28 (22:23):
We've been watching you. I'm waiting calling come back home
ever since you run off.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Had fuddenly heard the calling.
Speaker 28 (22:34):
He finally came back to us.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You know, I came home for Finch. Finch was my
friend Finch loved me, and I came back to make
things right. I came back to save him, and now
he's gonna die.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
He made his own deal, and you still want.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
To save him.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Then all the spirits of the dead, all of my ancestors,
moved to the sides of the caves, parting like the
red sea, and a shape came up from the bottomless depths,
a figure made only of sorrow and hunger.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
A shadow of no beginning and no end. It swallowed
any light bleeding down from the world above.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It took form behind my mother and looked at me
through her eyes, And as I stared back, I saw
myself reflected in.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Her endless black pupils.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Who are you?
Speaker 21 (23:34):
You know?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The dark wrapped around my mother, and her face fell away,
along with all the other faces of my ancestors, until
there was no face at all, but only a feeling
of indescribable emptiness. And when she spoke again, my mother's
voice was haunted, mercurial and shifting, at once, male and
(23:58):
female and old, a chorus of a thousand souls with
a thousand tongues, all folded into one ancient voice. You know.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
It was? It made you maybe do.
Speaker 25 (24:16):
No, you were simply given license and opportunity.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No.
Speaker 25 (24:23):
I may have guided you, but it was by your
own hatred and rage that you took their lives. But
it didn't take my chance. Oh it's very near end.
And then you paid your dad. You are free.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
I'll never be free.
Speaker 24 (24:50):
I have tried to make this easier for you to
clear your press guilty died, your memory of it.
Speaker 25 (25:00):
My but you're only human.
Speaker 24 (25:03):
That's the real curses, and it's your humanity, your conscience.
Speaker 25 (25:09):
You can't take that away, right, It's how.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
You were made.
Speaker 10 (25:15):
All lie.
Speaker 34 (25:17):
You're guilty has nothing to do with killing those boys.
They deserved it, didn't. They let you get to.
Speaker 24 (25:29):
Live while your friend will die for your crimes. I
mean you could turn yourself in converse to your students,
reveal yourself for the world, take his place, take Venture's
(25:52):
place on death throne.
Speaker 25 (25:56):
But let's be honest, you never will. So looking for
you as uh another way?
Speaker 24 (26:09):
Wh why if you really want to free James Fincher,
I could make that.
Speaker 25 (26:16):
I could without anyone ever knowing the truth. But I
don't need you to do more.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
For you want me to kill again?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Right to give you more into sell lives.
Speaker 25 (26:36):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 24 (26:38):
You can spare the life of your innocent friend in
exchange for others, those who.
Speaker 25 (26:46):
Have wronged you, those who you all already hate. A
feel riding apples be doing the world of service, seems fam,
do we have a deal?
Speaker 23 (27:20):
Breaking news this evening, Tennessee Governor Travis Cox has granted
a temporary reprieve to death prisoner James.
Speaker 16 (27:27):
Only moments ago, Governor Cox said mister Fincher's execution must
be delayed in light a long women appeals in court rulings,
and the governor's decision comes despite an apparent confession made
by mister Fincher only hours ago to the crimes for
which he has been convicted.
Speaker 11 (27:48):
Julian, it's Jill. I just got a call from the book.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
We did it.
Speaker 14 (28:00):
James Fincher isn't gonna die, at least not today. The
governor stepped up and LeBlanc was able to get a
federal appeals paneled to grant him in a definite stay.
They were shaving James's head when the chaplain told him said,
he just cried goes to show never give up, never
(28:24):
lose hope. I know I almost did, but for you Julian,
and I know this was not easy, but you do
the right thing. Courage isn't just doing the right thing
when it's easy. Courage is doing the right thing even
when you're scared.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Sheitless.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Just know that I am grateful, And just like that,
I found myself back here in my car, like I've
never left it, except I have no idea how long
I've been here.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
The day has become night, a closer dry, the storm
has passed.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
The fog is so thick now I can't see any
goddamn thing clearly. Soon nothing will be visible anymore ahead
or behind, present or past.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Soon I will remember my name. I'll look in the
mirror and I will recognize my face. I'll speak and
I won't hear my own voice.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
And soon the darkness will take me again. Don't panic.
This recording is to help you, Julian. Because of your
hair and this it means you've had another spell. Know
(30:00):
you expected this, you plan it for it. This tape
is to help you determine what's real from what's not.
The blackouts are more frequent now, they last longer, leaving
gaps in your memory.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
That's why you left this message for yourself. Julian, to
help you remember, first thing I need you to do
is to start the car.
Speaker 25 (30:29):
You need to drive.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Never mind the fog.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Visibility is going to be shipped for a while, doesn't matter,
and it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Matter which road would you take? Just heading north and
don't stop, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
You should have at least a half tank, so just drive,
drive until the fog breaks.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
No matter what, you should have at least a half tank. Drive,
drive until the fog breaks.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
And hopefully you will do what must be done while
you're still able to. In the meantime, hit rwind, go
all the way back to the beginning of this tape
and then play it, all of it.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
That should do it.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
Now.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
All I can do is hope for the best.
Speaker 5 (31:53):

Speaker 3 (32:09):
I need to confess the property.
Speaker 26 (32:11):
You know you are trash at least once.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
That sis for radio.
Speaker 10 (32:14):
You are not listening.
Speaker 26 (32:16):
It's backlo. I got a coach twenty four. Hello, piece
of shit, I'm gonna need you step out of your vehicle.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Out of the car now, you should walk away.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
What about step out of your vehicle? Do you not understand?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
God damn it, step out now, motherfucker.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Dina, Reverend.
Speaker 35 (33:09):
Jimmy, you can call me James. Well, okay, James, Dina.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I don't know if you formerly met Bobby. Yes we met?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Yep.
Speaker 35 (33:23):
Oh, good, good, that's that's a real good well James,
if you are ready, yes, sir, that's good.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
How's the water? Is it cold?
Speaker 35 (33:38):
It's like a warmth you've never felt.
Speaker 36 (33:41):
Okay, it'll all be over before you know it, but
you will feel it forever, son, trust me, Yes, sir?
Speaker 35 (33:52):
All right, then let's get this going.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Follow me, okay, I'm happy, decided to do this. The
Lord really does work in mysterious ways. Yeah, well, you
look lovely. That's a real preddress. Thank you.
Speaker 11 (34:13):
It was going to be Michael by address, but.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Things have changed.
Speaker 37 (34:17):
Thank you all for joining us today.
Speaker 38 (34:20):
Let me begin with a few observations.
Speaker 36 (34:25):
This is a special occasion.
Speaker 37 (34:28):
The baptism is always a special occasion, but the circumstances
here are not normal. I'll be the first to admit it,
but these circumstances nonetheless deserve addressing. I invite you all
to join me here today to look upon this young woman,
Dina Fincher, and her son Jimmy, as unique souls who
(34:52):
themselves have done nothing to offend the Lord. The Bible
teaches us forgive, and that is in fact our duty.
Speaker 38 (35:04):
We have an opportunity to make right a great wrong,
to heal a deep wound in the heart of this community.
If we do not embrace this family here and.
Speaker 28 (35:20):
Now, we will be equally guilty.
Speaker 17 (35:24):
Not if, but when the pattern of sin repeats itself
and the matrix of evil manifests itself.
Speaker 27 (35:35):
No, please.
Speaker 37 (35:51):
Say all, Satan is waiting, waiting in the wings.
Speaker 38 (35:57):
He lurks in the shadows.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
Of man's walk out.
Speaker 17 (36:11):
And so it is up to us to protect and
shelter this poor family from the silver tongue and evil.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Grip of the beast, and deliver him to the glory
of God that was joy.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
God.
Speaker 17 (36:32):
We are here to witness as this young man follows
Christ examp.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Sorry, so here we go.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Upon your public.
Speaker 17 (36:46):
Profession of your faith in Him and obedience to his command.
I baptize you, Jimmy Fincher, in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, buried
in the likeness of his death, ray in the likeness
of his resurrection.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
I'm sorry, visit though, mm hmm.
Speaker 28 (37:26):
Amen, m.

You're listening to The Maniwac Caves, a production of iHeartRadio,
(00:21):
Blumhouse Television, and Psycopia Pictures.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The fog is rolling and thick in the valley. It
whips by my windows and gusts, moving fast, faster than
I could run, faster than my soul could hope to
fly up to the holy Sun. And it keeps coming
in endless gloom at one hundred miles an hour. I
(00:55):
could hardly see my own face in the side, and
merrits so goddamn thick, and I wouldn't recognize myself anymore
even then, because my eyes don't seem.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Like my own anymore. There's something else in there.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
In the reflection watching me.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
I'm scared.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
The closer I come to the truth, the more frequently
the blackouts happen, because the caves don't want me to
know the truth. But I'm close now, closer than ever,
despite the fog and the noise. Despite the blackouts, the
memories are getting sharper. Bits and pieces of my path
(01:43):
that were completely blank have crystallized, And I have my tape.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
For the rest.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
A ghost and a mirror and the hounds of hell
dancing in your, dancing in you.
Speaker 8 (02:18):
The mouse sings tar river of el who climbed inside
and tells these lanes, tells these lanes.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Somebody screaming for help and no answer, a feedback.
Speaker 9 (02:40):
Loop gone wrong.
Speaker 10 (02:41):
Does it fight when you're all.
Speaker 11 (02:51):
It was my idea.
Speaker 12 (02:53):
Look them down in the case, get them lost, watch
them fall apart like the cowards we knew they were.
We weren't gonna make them ship their pants and videotapeic
get footage of them crying and freaking out. I couldn't
let those spoils ship let's get away with it anymore.
It had gone too far. It was time they got theirs,
(03:17):
you know. It was time for revenge.
Speaker 9 (03:24):
To be tilanside.
Speaker 10 (03:41):
Nice.
Speaker 13 (03:46):
If you were driving, I need you to pull over.
Speaker 10 (03:49):
So I'm not trying.
Speaker 14 (04:01):
James Fincher just confessed killing Thncoln and Thomas Handley.
Speaker 11 (04:39):
Thanks for joining us tonight.
Speaker 15 (04:41):
We are avoarding one of bizarre turn of events and the.
Speaker 16 (04:45):
Attorney General's office that Fincher has now drin double I'm
not brood, only hours after the Governor had intervened on
his behalf with an older that the Governor has relearsed
in decision and Fincher's execution is still set for ABM tonight.
Speaker 12 (05:00):
Many unknowns now well, we don't even know the circumstances
of this supposed confession.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No one from James Fincher's legal team was present.
Speaker 17 (05:09):
Now, look, we are on the verge of murdering a
man without allowing him or the state or Tennessee the
opportunity to Governor of Justice.
Speaker 16 (05:16):
That there was new evidence in the case, wrongly, evidence
that could prove that Governor was preparing to commute fin
Your's sentence entirely, when in these final hours before his
scheduled execution, Fincher himself released a sworn statement confessing to
the crime.
Speaker 18 (05:31):
If there is any chance of saving your soul, now
is the time time to give the family what they need,
the peace they deserve.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
James, go ahead, now, James Fincher.
Speaker 19 (06:00):
Confessed to the crimes for which I have been convicted
and for which I have been sentenced.
Speaker 20 (06:06):
I hope that this will bring both families to peace
they deserve.
Speaker 13 (06:16):
Julian Julian Julian Julian.
Speaker 11 (06:27):
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
The reverend had brobbed him, said a Finch confessed to
the murders. He would make sure Dina and Jimmy were
well cared for. He would bring them into his flock,
set up a church fund, and make them an example
of how the Lord's goodness is mightier than the devil's eavol.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I guess Finn should taken the bride.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Lined with rage and tears, I staggered back to my car,
clutching the video camera that Tyler sent me.
Speaker 21 (07:13):
H h, it's yours. It's your truth, it's your decision
about what to do with it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
This has all the answers you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Okay, Okay, okay, Tyler.
Speaker 22 (07:59):

Speaker 30 (13:51):
Julian Julian h she told you that don't come.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Do you get it now?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
My heart's all swollen like a balloon in my chest,
and there was no room for my lungs.
Speaker 30 (14:16):
We each have our own part.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I couldn't breathe.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
The air was hot and wet, with my own dress,
fog in the windows.
Speaker 30 (14:23):
I was holding on to the hope maybe you know,
maybe I was crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It wasn't my car anymore, but that it was just
a metal box.
Speaker 31 (14:31):
I was trapped inside off and I tried to reach
for the door, but my hand weighed a hundred pounds fence.
He can see things, whether the ghost of Tyler Wilson
was actually sitting beside me.
Speaker 30 (14:42):
I had to accept it things other people can.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It was happening, whether it was real or not.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
So he knew what he had to do.
Speaker 21 (14:52):
Me.
Speaker 30 (14:53):
All I had was my five senses in the caves,
trying to hide the truth, m trying to hide from me,
try to trick my mind. So I ran a few experiments.
I charted it on the patterns, and the only thing
I could figure for certain. If I cut off the
(15:16):
case from the rest of the world, then nobody else
would have to suffer. Problem solved.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So I did what I had to do.
Speaker 30 (15:28):
Finched on his part, I done mine. Now you've got
to do yours. Buddy, buckstops with you, because it's going
to happen again if you don't stop it.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
What's gonna happen?
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Murder?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
I didn't kill those points.
Speaker 30 (16:00):
Apes weren't never gonna let us go.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
I didn't kill those boys.
Speaker 30 (16:04):
Finch told you the time would come tough for to
remove yourself from the situation before it gets in your
head again, before anyone else gets hurt.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
You want me to run.
Speaker 25 (16:20):
My whole life.
Speaker 30 (16:21):
No, you can't run, So you have to end it.
You're the only one who can. You have to take
yourself out of the situation before it's too late. Hell huh,
(16:42):
you still have the detective's gun.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Don't.
Speaker 30 (16:48):
It's right here in the glove box. You say, remove
yourself from the situation.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
My fingers groped for the door and slipped on the wetness.
Somehow I managed to pull the handle and open the door.
I could barely see through the rain and fall. I
couldn't feel my body, but I forced one foot in
front of the other and made my way back up
the wet, fern covered hill back to my mother's grave.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
I shut my eyes, and everything stopped. The rain stopped,
the crow stopped, the wind stopped. Like I was suspended
and avoid a vacuum of time and space. Then now
(17:48):
I felt the damp rocks beneath my body.
Speaker 32 (17:50):
And now I heard the low, dull wind bending and
howling through the hollow space, heard water dripping from the
still attites, the fluttering and chirping of a thousand bats
in the distance.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
But I keep my eyes shut tight for fear. I
might confirm by sight, but my heart already knew that
I was now deep inside the case. Then I felt
her fingers in my hair, soft but strong. I looked
(18:23):
up and saw her face above me, her sweet cheeks
and beautiful dark eyes.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
My mother.
Speaker 28 (18:39):
It's okay, baby, Mom. Yeah, baby, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
But I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
How could I have done those things?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah? I know, I know.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Baby.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
There comes a time, though, when you got to accept
the truth.
Speaker 28 (19:02):
Julian, There comes a time when you got to accept
who you are.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
What you are.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's what I hid me, my mother's fingers plying gently
upon my hair like a warm summer breathe. All I'd
ever wanted was to get away as far away as possible,
away from my mother and father, away from the bullies,
away from the racist and backward sheriffs, away from the
shadow of my mother's death, away from myself, away from myself.
(19:37):
All I wanted was to belong to something for once,
And I.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Felt so warm in my mother's laugh. I realized that
this was the only sanctuary I'd ever known.
Speaker 28 (19:50):
Oh, it's been only your breath, all your heart beats,
and just running, never knowing what real love is.
Speaker 19 (20:04):
And you run out of potsman, you run away from meniwalk,
and you run away from your family, You run from
the truth.
Speaker 28 (20:17):
But you can't, baby, you can't run away from.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
Yourself and who you are?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Who a my mom?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
A crowd?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You are the last of us.
Speaker 20 (20:35):
And then I saw them, all of them, the entire
unholy horde, All of my ancestors were standing behind my mother,
all gathered in the matrix of your caves.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
My father, the gray Man, stood behind my mother, his
blue eyes gleaming, his hair parted on the side. He
wears a blue suit.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
He was buried.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Then a few behind him there was Matthew sweet Sir,
a distant cousin who committed suicide in the case two
decades before.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Half his head blown off.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Richard ride down too, the leather straps from his electric
chair still dangling from his wrists and cinched around his forehead.
And behind him a family dressed in woolen rags, the Leary's,
I assumed, father Seamus, mother Eleanor, and two daughters.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Milicent and Nadine.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Young Nadine O'Leary dressed in rags, missing fingers and parts
of her face from frostbite, looking just as she did
the knight.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Solomon's house went up in flames.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Others were there too.
Speaker 20 (21:42):
Hundreds of them, spread deep throughout the caves, all standing
before me.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
Eventually he.
Speaker 33 (21:50):
Comes for each one of us, and some have and
some have a blige, others others. Others well, they refused,
and they suffered it, and they suffered.
Speaker 19 (22:05):
The consequences some and some have taken their own lives
before he could.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Make them take others.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
We are your family, Julia said, this is your family.
Speaker 15 (22:20):
Never give up, never give up on.
Speaker 28 (22:23):
We've been watching you. I'm waiting calling come back home
ever since you run off.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Had fuddenly heard the calling.
Speaker 28 (22:34):
He finally came back to us.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You know, I came home for Finch. Finch was my
friend Finch loved me, and I came back to make
things right. I came back to save him, and now
he's gonna die.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
He made his own deal, and you still want.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
To save him.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Then all the spirits of the dead, all of my ancestors,
moved to the sides of the caves, parting like the
red sea, and a shape came up from the bottomless depths,
a figure made only of sorrow and hunger.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
A shadow of no beginning and no end. It swallowed
any light bleeding down from the world above.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It took form behind my mother and looked at me
through her eyes, And as I stared back, I saw
myself reflected in.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Her endless black pupils.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Who are you?
Speaker 21 (23:34):
You know?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The dark wrapped around my mother, and her face fell away,
along with all the other faces of my ancestors, until
there was no face at all, but only a feeling
of indescribable emptiness. And when she spoke again, my mother's
voice was haunted, mercurial and shifting, at once, male and
(23:58):
female and old, a chorus of a thousand souls with
a thousand tongues, all folded into one ancient voice. You know.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
It was? It made you maybe do.
Speaker 25 (24:16):
No, you were simply given license and opportunity.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No.
Speaker 25 (24:23):
I may have guided you, but it was by your
own hatred and rage that you took their lives. But
it didn't take my chance. Oh it's very near end.
And then you paid your dad. You are free.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
I'll never be free.
Speaker 24 (24:50):
I have tried to make this easier for you to
clear your press guilty died, your memory of it.
Speaker 25 (25:00):
My but you're only human.
Speaker 24 (25:03):
That's the real curses, and it's your humanity, your conscience.
Speaker 25 (25:09):
You can't take that away, right, It's how.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
You were made.
Speaker 10 (25:15):
All lie.
Speaker 34 (25:17):
You're guilty has nothing to do with killing those boys.
They deserved it, didn't. They let you get to.
Speaker 24 (25:29):
Live while your friend will die for your crimes. I
mean you could turn yourself in converse to your students,
reveal yourself for the world, take his place, take Venture's
(25:52):
place on death throne.
Speaker 25 (25:56):
But let's be honest, you never will. So looking for
you as uh another way?
Speaker 24 (26:09):
Wh why if you really want to free James Fincher,
I could make that.
Speaker 25 (26:16):
I could without anyone ever knowing the truth. But I
don't need you to do more.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
For you want me to kill again?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Right to give you more into sell lives.
Speaker 25 (26:36):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 24 (26:38):
You can spare the life of your innocent friend in
exchange for others, those who.
Speaker 25 (26:46):
Have wronged you, those who you all already hate. A
feel riding apples be doing the world of service, seems fam,
do we have a deal?
Speaker 23 (27:20):
Breaking news this evening, Tennessee Governor Travis Cox has granted
a temporary reprieve to death prisoner James.
Speaker 16 (27:27):
Only moments ago, Governor Cox said mister Fincher's execution must
be delayed in light a long women appeals in court rulings,
and the governor's decision comes despite an apparent confession made
by mister Fincher only hours ago to the crimes for
which he has been convicted.
Speaker 11 (27:48):
Julian, it's Jill. I just got a call from the book.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
We did it.
Speaker 14 (28:00):
James Fincher isn't gonna die, at least not today. The
governor stepped up and LeBlanc was able to get a
federal appeals paneled to grant him in a definite stay.
They were shaving James's head when the chaplain told him said,
he just cried goes to show never give up, never
(28:24):
lose hope. I know I almost did, but for you Julian,
and I know this was not easy, but you do
the right thing. Courage isn't just doing the right thing
when it's easy. Courage is doing the right thing even
when you're scared.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Sheitless.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Just know that I am grateful, And just like that,
I found myself back here in my car, like I've
never left it, except I have no idea how long
I've been here.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
The day has become night, a closer dry, the storm
has passed.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
The fog is so thick now I can't see any
goddamn thing clearly. Soon nothing will be visible anymore ahead
or behind, present or past.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Soon I will remember my name. I'll look in the
mirror and I will recognize my face. I'll speak and
I won't hear my own voice.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
And soon the darkness will take me again. Don't panic.
This recording is to help you, Julian. Because of your
hair and this it means you've had another spell. Know
(30:00):
you expected this, you plan it for it. This tape
is to help you determine what's real from what's not.
The blackouts are more frequent now, they last longer, leaving
gaps in your memory.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
That's why you left this message for yourself. Julian, to
help you remember, first thing I need you to do
is to start the car.
Speaker 25 (30:29):
You need to drive.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Never mind the fog.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Visibility is going to be shipped for a while, doesn't matter,
and it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Matter which road would you take? Just heading north and
don't stop, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
You should have at least a half tank, so just drive,
drive until the fog breaks.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
No matter what, you should have at least a half tank. Drive,
drive until the fog breaks.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
And hopefully you will do what must be done while
you're still able to. In the meantime, hit rwind, go
all the way back to the beginning of this tape
and then play it, all of it.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
That should do it.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
Now.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
All I can do is hope for the best.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
That's all.
Speaker 26 (31:54):
Stap until you saw us. Damn, you just can't seem
to stay out of trouble, can't you, Julian. I need
to confess doing back here it caves for I need
to turn myself, come back to slay. Prayer for your friend, Tyler.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
I need to confess the property.
Speaker 26 (32:11):
You know you are trash at least once.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
That sis for radio.
Speaker 10 (32:14):
You are not listening.
Speaker 26 (32:16):
It's backlo. I got a coach twenty four. Hello, piece
of shit, I'm gonna need you step out of your vehicle.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Out of the car now, you should walk away.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
What about step out of your vehicle? Do you not understand?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
God damn it, step out now, motherfucker.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Dina, Reverend.
Speaker 35 (33:09):
Jimmy, you can call me James. Well, okay, James, Dina.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I don't know if you formerly met Bobby. Yes we met?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Yep.
Speaker 35 (33:23):
Oh, good, good, that's that's a real good well James,
if you are ready, yes, sir, that's good.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
How's the water? Is it cold?
Speaker 35 (33:38):
It's like a warmth you've never felt.
Speaker 36 (33:41):
Okay, it'll all be over before you know it, but
you will feel it forever, son, trust me, Yes, sir?
Speaker 35 (33:52):
All right, then let's get this going.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Follow me, okay, I'm happy, decided to do this. The
Lord really does work in mysterious ways. Yeah, well, you
look lovely. That's a real preddress. Thank you.
Speaker 11 (34:13):
It was going to be Michael by address, but.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Things have changed.
Speaker 37 (34:17):
Thank you all for joining us today.
Speaker 38 (34:20):
Let me begin with a few observations.
Speaker 36 (34:25):
This is a special occasion.
Speaker 37 (34:28):
The baptism is always a special occasion, but the circumstances
here are not normal. I'll be the first to admit it,
but these circumstances nonetheless deserve addressing. I invite you all
to join me here today to look upon this young woman,
Dina Fincher, and her son Jimmy, as unique souls who
(34:52):
themselves have done nothing to offend the Lord. The Bible
teaches us forgive, and that is in fact our duty.
Speaker 38 (35:04):
We have an opportunity to make right a great wrong,
to heal a deep wound in the heart of this community.
If we do not embrace this family here and.
Speaker 28 (35:20):
Now, we will be equally guilty.
Speaker 17 (35:24):
Not if, but when the pattern of sin repeats itself
and the matrix of evil manifests itself.
Speaker 27 (35:35):
No, please.
Speaker 37 (35:51):
Say all, Satan is waiting, waiting in the wings.
Speaker 38 (35:57):
He lurks in the shadows.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
Of man's walk out.
Speaker 17 (36:11):
And so it is up to us to protect and
shelter this poor family from the silver tongue and evil.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Grip of the beast, and deliver him to the glory
of God that was joy.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
God.
Speaker 17 (36:32):
We are here to witness as this young man follows
Christ examp.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Sorry, so here we go.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Upon your public.
Speaker 17 (36:46):
Profession of your faith in Him and obedience to his command.
I baptize you, Jimmy Fincher, in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, buried
in the likeness of his death, ray in the likeness
of his resurrection.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
I'm sorry, visit though, mm hmm.
Speaker 28 (37:26):
Amen, m.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
A ghost and a mirror.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
And the hands of Hell, Dancing in.
Speaker 10 (37:53):
Your Dancing in.
