The Antiquarium Presents : [REDACTED] - S1E1: False Start (Part 1)

Speaker 1 A cinematic fever dream based on the visionary game.

Speaker 2 You did it, didn't you, Jimmy? You woke him up.

Speaker 2 No one said it would be easy.

Speaker 1 Return to Silent Hill, exclusively in theaters, January 23rd.

Speaker 2 Ah, welcome. Do mind the thresher?

Speaker 2 The floorboards have become temperamental.

Speaker 2 Normally, I would greet you with today's lot, but I'm afraid the antiquarium is in a state of temporary disarray. A small disagreement between the artifacts in Cabinet 7.

Speaker 2 They're sorting it out amongst themselves. But until they reach a consensus, I mustn't open the case again.

Speaker 2 Rest assured, the shop remains open, and our proper work will resume very soon. But while the shelves settle, I do have something else for you.

Speaker 2 Some colleagues of mine, members of a certain covert organization known only in whispers as the

Speaker 2 redacted

Speaker 2 unit,

Speaker 2 have sent over one of their field records.

Speaker 2 They operate adjacent to us, you might say. cleaning up the sort of creatures and phenomena that slip through the cracks we'd rather remain sealed.

Speaker 2 Their newest operative, Jacob Kane, has found himself drawn into their world under less than ideal circumstances.

Speaker 2 A twin lost, an identity borrowed, and a baptism by fire into a catalogue of beings they call aberrations.

Speaker 2 This document, titled False Start, Part 1, details the beginning of his

Speaker 2 misadventure.

Speaker 2 Consider it a courtesy exhibit while we wait for the shop to calm itself. Do keep your voice low as you listen.
The shelves are listening back.

Speaker 2 Now then,

Speaker 2 shall we

Speaker 2 follow Redacted wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 Hey. Hey, Mom.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, I know it's late.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry, I

Speaker 2 just wanted to call you before the police do.

Speaker 2 There's been an accident.

Speaker 2 No, no, I'm fine. A couple of scratches, but Mom,

Speaker 2 are you sitting down?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think it would be best if you did.

Speaker 2 It's Dad.

Speaker 2 He, uh.

Speaker 2 He was thrown from the car.

Speaker 2 He must not have had his belt on.

Speaker 2 Mom,

Speaker 2 Dad is.

Speaker 2 He didn't make it.

Speaker 2 Who?

Speaker 2 Who was driving? Well, I... I was, but it's not my fault.
It. Mom, it's raining and the car just started sliding and I.

Speaker 2 No, no, Mom, please.

Speaker 2 Please, please don't go, Mom, please. Thank you, Jacob.

Speaker 2 That was great, but did you prepare any of the material we sent you?

Speaker 2 So I looked it over.

Speaker 2 I just don't think that it really resonated with the character. None of the dialogue really showed the gravitas that I think he deserved.

Speaker 2 Jacob, Jacob, we appreciate the care put into your craft, but production really has a singular vision for this character look i get that there's a vision and all but the lines that were sent to me were just so pedestrian

Speaker 2 you you are aware that the writer is sitting at this table correct

Speaker 2 uh hey

Speaker 2 i am sorry i look i didn't mean anything by it All writers have to start somewhere, right? Jacob, we can't use alternate dialogue. The script is locked.
We need to hear the lines as written.

Speaker 2 If you could please just start again with the provided material

Speaker 2 whenever you're ready.

Speaker 2 Okay, so you didn't do the audition then? No, I did do it.

Speaker 2 It just wasn't what they wanted. They wanted some brainless nobody to recite their amateur script exactly as right.
Okay, okay. Yeah, you mean like, I don't know, an actor then.

Speaker 2 Look, if they wanted an actor, I would have heard back by now. You do realize how pretentious you sound when you get like this, right? Like, you have to hear that, right?

Speaker 2 I wouldn't call it pretentious per se. I prefer to look at it as having artistic integrity.
Okay, well, yeah, all of that, whatever that is, it doesn't pay the bills, Jacob.

Speaker 2 And also, I don't think it's even possible to say per se without being pretentious.

Speaker 2 So, look, I'm not going to waste my time reciting derivative bullshit for a part as an unnamed victim on some random crime.

Speaker 2 That character could have come back in future episodes, and it would lead to more work. Uh, no, I read the script.
That character is dead before the theme song plays. Okay, fine.

Speaker 2 Then, I don't know, have you given any thought to picking up some, like, side work or something, you know, to subsidize your artistic integrity, you know? Like a job? Yeah, like a job.

Speaker 2 I don't know, man. Look, Look, I know it's rough, but you can have a day job and still make time for acting.
I mean, look, my job never stopped me from doing music. I'm able to do both.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 about that. What is it that you even do?

Speaker 2 Jacob, you know this. I'm in supply chain management.
Right, yeah, I know we talked about it, but like, what does what does that mean?

Speaker 2 Is it not obvious? Jacob, I

Speaker 2 manage supply chains.

Speaker 2 This whole time, I thought you supplied chains to management.

Speaker 2 What? I don't know, like bike shops? Stuff?

Speaker 2 Places that need chains? You're kidding, right? I, who had the BLT? Oh, right here.

Speaker 2 Thank you. You bet.
So you had the egg? That's me. The egg? Thank you.
Of course. Enjoy.

Speaker 2 Did you just order one egg? Yeah. Just one singular egg.
Struggling artists, remember? Homie, I'm buying. You can get more than one egg.
You know that, right? Look, you don't need to do do that.

Speaker 2 Apparently, I do. Otherwise, you're going to order breakfast like a weirdo.
Now you're done. You're already done.
And now you're just watching me eat. No, I got it.

Speaker 2 Fine. Thank you.
You're welcome. I don't mind.
Honestly, it's more for me than you anyway. I come here a lot.
Like, right, this is one of my favorite spots. And you're kind of embarrassing me.
Okay.

Speaker 2 With your egg. Okay.
You're

Speaker 2 single egg. So

Speaker 2 you might be right about that survival job, by the way.

Speaker 2 With mom and everything, I

Speaker 2 could probably use a change of pace. At least for a little while.

Speaker 2 Hey, is your place hiring?

Speaker 2 No, no, you would hate supplying chains. The links and the hooks and the hoops and stuff.
But

Speaker 2 I can help you with your resume. I mean, I know all the corporate buzzwords, right? We can knock it out.
It'll be super easy. Promise.
Thanks.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Might take you up on that. Hmm.
Do you need a lift to the cemetery tonight, or you said? Nah, I'll walk over later. Thank you, though.

Speaker 2 You know, it's really crazy. Mom's been gone for a week now, and still

Speaker 2 nothing from Jordan.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 when was the last time you talked to him? About two years?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I just thought he would show up for something like this.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so did mom.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 2 towards the end, there were

Speaker 2 There were some nights where my mom would actually call me Jordan.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean,

Speaker 2 you guys are twins, and

Speaker 2 she was really confused at the end.

Speaker 2 It makes sense that she would get you two mixed up. But I know it's hard, you know? Yeah.

Speaker 2 I know it isn't right, but

Speaker 2 I would actually play along sometimes.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I

Speaker 2 thought it could actually make her proud. Okay, no, Jacob, don't.
You can't go there. Don't do that.
You know she loved you, and everybody could tell she was proud of you.

Speaker 2 I mean, she talked about it all the time.

Speaker 2 Don't. Don't do that.
She was still different with him.

Speaker 2 She would constantly bring him up, wondering how he was doing.

Speaker 2 She missed him.

Speaker 2 I still miss him. He's still my brother.
I know. And I'm.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 Really.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's looking uh, it's looking pretty bad out there, dude. You're sure you don't want to ride? Dude, I'll be fine.
I'm not a child. Are you sure? Because you sort of eat like one, so.

Speaker 2 Oh, shit. Oh, who is it? Casting, maybe? Maybe you got the part? Possibly? Nope.
Landlord. Oh, that's awesome.
I didn't even realize you auditioned for a landlord.

Speaker 2 That's incredible. Fucking idiot.
My landlord.

Speaker 2 Should I pick it up?

Speaker 2 Um, yeah, probably.

Speaker 2 Jacob Kane.

Speaker 2 Hey, Phil, how are you? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
Take it easy. Yes, yes, that is correct.
He sounds mad. Look, I'm sorry, okay?

Speaker 2 I'm a few months late. I'll have your money soon.
Jacob, I actually had a big audition today that I think went really shitty well.

Speaker 2 It did not go well. I'll have the rent in no time.

Speaker 2 Will you? I don't think you will. Whoa, let's not get too hasty, Phil.
Please. Calm down.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Okay. I'm on my way.
I'm right down the street. I'll be there in one minute.
Don't do anything.

Speaker 2 Bye-bye.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 how do we think that went? Oh, great. Just great.
He said he's about to chain up the door to my apartment. Wonder who supplied him with that? Okay.
Fucking asshole. I need to go.
Cool.

Speaker 2 Do you want me to, I don't know, order you an egg to go? Maybe, maybe you'll get hungry later. Or maybe he wants an egg.
I don't know. He seems like an egg guy, possibly.
Wait, stop. There.
No.

Speaker 2 I ate. Yeah, my my food.
I'll talk to you later, okay? Thanks for the feast. Yeah, see ya.
Wait, Jacob, before you go,

Speaker 2 you know, I have your back, right?

Speaker 2 Like, no matter what happens, I'll

Speaker 2 cover for you if need be.

Speaker 2 You know that, right? Yeah,

Speaker 2 okay.

Speaker 2 Fuck this slow-ass elevator.

Speaker 2 I don't have time for this.

Speaker 2 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? What does it look like I'm doing? Changing your locks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I can see that, but why? You know why. Look, I'm really sorry.
Just give me... Give me a little more time.
You know I'm good for it. It's quite evident that you are not good for it.

Speaker 2 You're behind three months. I know.
I...

Speaker 2 I've just been dealing with a lot. My mom.
I don't care about your mom.

Speaker 2 But... But she's dead.
Unless she left you a little cash to pay the rent, I don't give a shit.

Speaker 2 That

Speaker 2 I didn't mean it like that.

Speaker 2 I am sorry for your loss,

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 2 that doesn't change anything with this.

Speaker 2 Come on, quit looking at me that way.

Speaker 2 Fine.

Speaker 2 You know what? Fine.

Speaker 2 I'll give you two weeks. Two weeks.

Speaker 2 For two weeks to get me everything you owe. That should not be a problem.
Not a problem at all. Thank you so much.
I'll have the money for you very soon. No worries at all, Phil.
Not a problem.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 right.

Speaker 2 Two weeks. Two weeks.

Speaker 2 Two

Speaker 2 weeks.

Speaker 2 This

Speaker 2 is gonna be a problem.

Speaker 2 Hey, mom.

Speaker 2 I'm gonna have to cut this short. Really sucks out here.

Speaker 2 I brought flowers this time,

Speaker 2 but they're just

Speaker 2 gonna blow away.

Speaker 2 I'll bring them back next time.

Speaker 2 Shouldn't have taken Eli up on that ride.

Speaker 2 I had another audition today

Speaker 2 and got

Speaker 2 another rejection.

Speaker 2 They were a way tougher audience than you were.

Speaker 2 I'll never forget how I used to film those stupid little plays I would put on in the living room. You'd tell everyone I was going to be the next De Niro.

Speaker 2 You were always my biggest fan.

Speaker 2 And look where I am now. My biggest role is still that car insurance commercial where I had that one line.

Speaker 2 But what about my deductible?

Speaker 2 I think I need a reset.

Speaker 2 I don't want to be known as that guy who almost booked the Hulu show or Jacob who needs a loan to cover rent.

Speaker 2 I keep trying to convince myself this is just a rough patch.

Speaker 2 But maybe it's just

Speaker 2 maybe it's just my life.

Speaker 2 Eli is still trying to convince me to pick up a steady day job, as agonizing as that sounds.

Speaker 2 I'm just not sure if that will be enough.

Speaker 2 Hello?

Speaker 2 Who's there?

Speaker 2 You.

Speaker 2 Hey! Stop!

Speaker 2 I know it's you!

Speaker 2 Talk to me, damn it!

Speaker 2 It is you!

Speaker 2 I knew I saw you! You need to get out of the car. Now.
Are you kidding me, Jordan? Jacob, Jacob,

Speaker 2 get out. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen you in the last seven years.
And all you have to say to me is, get out.

Speaker 2 Why are you even here? Is your guilt finally catching up with you? I didn't. She kept asking for you, you know.
Where's Jordan? Is Jordan coming? I had to lie to her.

Speaker 2 Tell her you were on your way, that you got held up.

Speaker 2 Hello? This is the part where you explain things to me? Where the fuck have you been?

Speaker 2 I'm sorry, Jacob. Oh, well, okay, then.
I guess if you're sorry, I'll just hop on out and go back to taking care of everything on my own.

Speaker 2 That beard looks stupid, by the way. Just get out.

Speaker 2 Shit. Kane, we just want to talk.
Roll down the window. Uh, who are these people? Listen to me.

Speaker 2 Whatever happens next, keep your face down. Don't tell them your name.
Don't tell them. What the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 2 whatever Hargrove wants, it can wait. Hargrove disagrees.

Speaker 2 You're out of time. Oh, did this guy bring you flowers?

Speaker 2 We're in a cemetery.

Speaker 2 Asshole. No, no.
That kind of name-calling is uncalled for.

Speaker 2 Who's this with you?

Speaker 2 He's nobody.

Speaker 2 A friend of a friend who knew my mother. A friend of a friend? really

Speaker 2 hey buddy

Speaker 2 who are you is your belt on what no it's not

Speaker 2 jordan did you just run him over

Speaker 2 jesus fucking christ oh my god oh my god oh my god you just fucking hit that guy what do we do what do we do oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck what the fuck is going on jordan listen to me carefully

Speaker 2 I need to drop you off somewhere far away from here. You cannot come back.
What are you talking about? Who are those people?

Speaker 2 There's no way I can explain it to you.

Speaker 2 You need to trust me. This is for your own good.
Trust you?

Speaker 2 I barely even know you.

Speaker 2 There's about 800 bucks in cash below the seat.

Speaker 2 Use that to get away. Stop.
I'll drop you off it. Tell me what's going on.
I told you I can't. That isn't good enough.
I want to fucking just. Stop interrupting me.
Tell me what's going on.

Speaker 2 Look out!

Speaker 2 Fuck

Speaker 2 Jordan, shit.

Speaker 2 Are you good?

Speaker 2 God damn it.

Speaker 2 Oh, fuck, Jordan.

Speaker 2 Jordan!

Speaker 2 Help me open this

Speaker 2 Shit! Hang on! The door's stuck!

Speaker 2 Jacob,

Speaker 2 you need...

Speaker 2 Stay with me. I'm gonna get you out of here.
Can you roll down the window? You gotta...

Speaker 2 Watch your back.

Speaker 2 My job.

Speaker 2 Fuck. This is all my fault.
My job. Okay, it's fine.
I'll use your briefcase. Look away.

Speaker 2 Stupid fucking window. Come on!

Speaker 2 I'm sorry. No, don't apologize.
You can apologize after we get you out of the car.

Speaker 2 Jordan, you still haven't told me where the fuck you've been.

Speaker 2 You can't just

Speaker 2 get out of it.

Speaker 2 Jordan.

Speaker 2 Jordan, please. Jordan, wake up.
Jordan, wake up. Jordan, please.
I just got your back. Just wake up, please! Let's wake up!

Speaker 2 Target

Speaker 2 for these lattice fingers. Let's get them on 15 meters out of the cut for each patient's stats dropped it on nightfield.

Speaker 2 Where

Speaker 2 where am I? Sir,

Speaker 2 you were in a serious accident.

Speaker 2 You're lucky. Most folks in a crash like that would be done for.

Speaker 2 The only thing we recovered was your briefcase. Officer.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 The only thing.

Speaker 2 My brother.

Speaker 2 My brother was driving. I have to get him.
I

Speaker 2 sir, you need to sit still. You're in an ambulance.
You're safe.

Speaker 2 Take a deep breath with me.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Shit.

Speaker 2 Hi, I'm Jodi. I'm an EMT.

Speaker 2 We're taking care of you. We're in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

Speaker 2 Sir, can you tell me your name?

Speaker 2 My name?

Speaker 2 Sorry. like a job.
Singular.

Speaker 2 This is quite evident that you are an inspiring.

Speaker 2 It makes sense to say you're not.

Speaker 2 I don't ask.

Speaker 2 Jordan, you know,

Speaker 2 My name is Jordan.
