As Above So Below: The Awakening" plunges deeper into Sanctum City's shadows, as the mysterious disappearance of Mike escalates into a chilling police investigation led by Officer Lee and Officer Harlem at Renzo's Waffles. In this pivotal second episode, the lines between law and corruption begin to blur as Officer Lee confronts Rico Simmons, a key figure connected to the shadowy TLG company and its ominous 'Nuero Band' technology. The proverb from Proverbs 12:26, "The righteous is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray," serves as a profound backdrop, echoing the moral quandaries faced by our characters. As startling truths about complicity within the force come to light, and the sinister reach of Lucas's organization becomes clearer, 'The Awakening' explores how easily one can be led astray from God's path. Amidst the unfolding chaos and growing deception, this episode highlights the urgent need for divine guidance, underscoring that only through the unwavering truth and righteous path offered by Jesus Christ can light pierce through the darkest deceptions and lead souls away from the clutches of wickedness and towards true spiritual freedom.

Don't worry, I know we're in the right spot.
I used to live a few blocksaway from here.
Dreadmoor City has always beena hotbed for trouble.
Matter of fact, I'll tell you alittle secret, if you dare not
to mention anything to anyoneabout Dreadmoor.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
Gotcha, you ain't telling me nothing.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
We both know Sanctum City is known for being the
moneymaker, having the largestnightlife and the most churches
on every block.
Two of the biggest citieswithin Sanctum City is Grace
Gardens and Dreadmoor citieswithin Sanctum City is Grace
Gardens.
In Dreadmoor, people who wantto live a prosperous or
luxurious life they flee toGrace Gardens.
The people who are afraid tostep out of the dark and despise

(06:43):
people who want to make achange grieve for their souls to
remain in Dreadmoor.
Back in my early 20s I used tomake some good money working for
one of the biggest drug lordsin Dreadmoor, god Flex.
He tried to force me to make adecision to keep working for him
or he'd take the life of myfamily.

(07:04):
He knew I would choose toremain working for him because I
had nothing left.
He set me up and took my familyanyway.
From that day the city ofDreadmoor found out what he did
and tortured him until he criedfor mercy.
I was the next biggest manwalking in the city, like Harlem

(07:25):
, new York, until I got a phonecall from someone who, don Flex,
was under.
It caused me to hurt more thanI wasn't free.
It was still more work thatneeded to be done.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
So who was the new guy who forced you to remain in
position Like how did you manageto make it out alive?

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Some legends aren't mentioned often.
I'll leave you with that.
Trust me had to have been Godthat allowed me to make it out
alive, and it's interesting thatwe shouldn't question him on it
.
I was on the edge of changingmy life for good, but every time
it's like the enemy can smellmy change a mile away.

(08:04):
Before temptation comes,there's no escape.
In a world full of demons, youwill regret the day you knew
this man.
You're better off meeting thedevil himself.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, we got a speeder.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Someone's in a little rush tonight, these lights will
slow him down.
