Speaker 3 Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for the team today?

Speaker 4 It was the new game day scratchers from the California Lottery. Play is everything.
Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

Speaker 3 Are you saying it was the off-field play that made the difference on the field?

Speaker 4 Hey, a little play makes your day, and today it made the game. That's all for now.

Speaker 5 Coach, one more question.

Speaker 6 Play the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams Scratchers from the California Lottery.

Speaker 7 A little play can make your day.

Speaker 6 Please play responsibly. Must be 18 years or older to purchase play or claim.

Speaker 8 There's the part of me that everyone sees. I'm Howie Mandel, the comedian.
Apparently, I know what funny is. Funny bought me a house, but I also know what isn't funny, OCD.

Speaker 8 I've lived with OCD my entire life and people throw the term around like it's no big deal. But OCD is severe, often debilitating.

Speaker 8 It's a mental health condition that involves unrelented, unwanted thoughts that can make you question your character, your beliefs, even your safety.

Speaker 8 General therapy can help with some things, but for OCD, it can actually make things worse. That's why I want to tell you about No CD.

Speaker 26 Episode 44

Speaker 26 Back to Basic

Speaker 26 You see, this

Speaker 5 people cannot even eat or drink without a screen now.

Speaker 5 This coffee house deserves the strongest mukufukt, north as a spree. The children would queue outside for the cocoa.

Speaker 5 Now?

Speaker 5 Now it is just all smartphones and bad coffee and French fries.

Speaker 27 Only Americans call them french fries.

Speaker 5 You see,

Speaker 5 who can keep up?

Speaker 5 Decide for Gietvient Flug.

Speaker 27 I am uncomfortable. You didn't have to come with me.

Speaker 5 I am being helpful.

Speaker 27 What exactly do you think is going to happen? She must be what? At least 70 by now?

Speaker 5 You do not think the old can be dangerous.

Speaker 27 You're different. You're

Speaker 27 special.

Speaker 5 Thank you, Shan. But you are mistaken.
The Statsi and I, we were similar in many ways. We both relied on fear and knew how to wield it.

Speaker 27 It's not the same.

Speaker 5 Is that them?

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 27 You sure?

Speaker 5 I am sure.

Speaker 27 Clara Vogel. Shh.

Speaker 27 Mrs. Vogel.

Speaker 27 My name is Alice Dyer. I'm with the OIAR and

Speaker 5 she wishes to know how you found her.

Speaker 17 Oh, um, well,

Speaker 27 your name was listed in some records I found with the help of my uh

Speaker 27 experienced colleague here.

Speaker 27 What's she saying?

Speaker 4 Excuse me. Look, I'm sorry.

Speaker 27 In Schuldegun, I don't want to be all tourist about it, but Heinrich said you spoke English, and my translation app isn't keeping up. Can we, you know

Speaker 11 who are you to travel with him?

Speaker 5 What?

Speaker 5 Oh,

Speaker 5 okay.

Speaker 27 She was one of yours then, I take it.

Speaker 5 I told you I am helping.

Speaker 11 What do you want, English?

Speaker 17 Okay, well,

Speaker 27 I'm looking for someone. Someone I think you may have

Speaker 27 kept an eye on back when you were uh um

Speaker 27 when you were younger.

Speaker 27 Anyway, he was a computer guy, big into alchemy tattoos.

Speaker 11 Schweitzer.

Speaker 27 So you know who I'm talking about?

Speaker 5 Yes, I've watched him work.

Speaker 27 See, do you know where I can find him or no?

Speaker 5 Oh.

Speaker 11 I do not know where he is. If I did, I would go and kill him myself.

Speaker 27 Why?

Speaker 4 What did he do to you?

Speaker 11 Nothing you would understand.

Speaker 27 Right. Shall we just get down to it then, yeah?

Speaker 5 You don't like me.

Speaker 27 I get it. Honestly, the feeling is mutual.

Speaker 27 But you know something about Klaus Schweitzer, and I need to hear it. I was going to offer you money, but I'm not really feeling that now, so let's try this instead.

Speaker 27 You tell me what I want to know, or I tell everyone your ecstasy, and then we see how people react.

Speaker 11 Ha! And then what? They beat an old woman to death? These fat, lazy children have no stomach for such work. Your threats do not frighten me, English.

Speaker 5 Abadas to ech, mich war, Klar.

Speaker 5 the harben ein gas

Speaker 11 I will talk

Speaker 5 Christ Heinrich what did you tell her

Speaker 5 just remembering old times.

Speaker 5 So, Clara,

Speaker 27 tell me everything you know about Klaus Schweitzer.

Speaker 11 The first time I saw Klaus Schweitzer, I was watching

Speaker 5 Schwarzman?

Speaker 5 Squad?

Speaker 11 Yeah, in Penslauber.

Speaker 11 They thought they were punks, radicals, would-be anarchists. He was easy to see.
His skin was covered in tattoos, strange diagrams on his arms, his chest, even his face.

Speaker 11 They reminded me of my grandmother. She also held folk beliefs.

Speaker 11 He visited the squad a few times, and I would have taken him if he was not already on the list. We needed computer people.

Speaker 11 I was chosen to make the offer because I was young and beautiful, and he was ugly. It was the right decision.
It was very easy. After we raided the squad, I made him the offer.

Speaker 11 He could work computers for me or join his punk friends. He agreed, of course.
But I do not know if it was because he wanted me or because he feared me.

Speaker 11 Perhaps both, I think.

Speaker 11 I knew from his fights he was a computer coder from HFE. Good at statistics.
at predicting people. This was useful to us.
My superiors tired of arresting the guilty.

Speaker 11 Better to stop them before they could commit the crimes.

Speaker 11 The program was to track the fears of the targets and so predict disorder and disloyalty. Find the traitors before they knew themselves.

Speaker 11 It was a grand dream.

Speaker 11 Schweitzer did not want to work for us, but the idea.

Speaker 11 He longed for it, I think. More even than he longed for me.
So I gave him computers, files, data.

Speaker 11 Always he was asking for data.

Speaker 11 When he tired, I would encourage him. I was not very good at this, but when he was slow or stupid, I would scold him.
This I was very good at.

Speaker 11 Soon he could not eat, could not drink, could not breathe without checking if it pleased me. And if it did not.

Speaker 11 I did my duty and ensured he did his. He was an ugly, foolish man, but his work, his work was strange, almost wonderful, but never correct.

Speaker 11 No matter how I loved him, how I hurt him, he could not make it work. Again and again he failed, and so my superiors began to question me.
So I pushed him harder.

Speaker 11 Too hard.

Speaker 11 By the end, he did not know where the love ended and the fear began. But all that mattered is that we both knew he was mine.
He could not live without me, and I wanted code, so he would code or die.

Speaker 11 I left him to work alone that final time. He was already mine and would not disobey.
I left him with food for one week and returned after two.

Speaker 11 By then, he stank like a caged dog and he could not speak.

Speaker 5 But the work

Speaker 11 I did not understand the code. It was

Speaker 11 Kaudervech.

Speaker 11 But the symbols. He had carved them into the walls with his nails, into the keyboard, into his own skin.
Copied from the photographs of old tattoos he would shuffle in his hands.

Speaker 11 In the glow of the filthy screen, it was hard to tell where his wasted body ended and the work began.

Speaker 11 But there was paper falling from the printer, completely clear, except for a list of names, dates and times.

Speaker 11 I knew the first name well, Karin Müller. She was a known thief and speculant at the Lokale Handels Organizazion, and she was already due arrest the next day at the date on the list.

Speaker 11 I attended the arrest, but it was not an arrest. There had been an accident.
Von Müller had been killed by Fleischwolf.

Speaker 11 Her arm was caught in the mechanism and she was somehow pulled in.

Speaker 11 The second name was an old study mate from the Horschule. I had not spoken to Matthias since graduating, but I knew where he was working.

Speaker 11 I found him just as he placed the electric cable into his mouth. I read his watching notes before I called the FORPO.

Speaker 11 It seemed he had been following special orders from a supervisor who had never existed. Every name I investigated from that list was the same, broken and strange.

Speaker 11 It was not what we asked for, but Schweitzer had made something wonderful and terrible. I did not understand it.

Speaker 11 But I knew we needed it.

Speaker 11 I informed my supervisors and then returned to him, ready to take his work from him and hand him over. But when I stepped inside, I found he was already gone.

Speaker 11 He had left and taken the computer, the program, the data, everything, except his filts, his carvings, and a small envelope.

Speaker 11 This envelope.

Speaker 11 I have not opened it. I already know what is inside.

Speaker 11 A name, a date, and a time.

Speaker 11 My time.

Speaker 11 Every day I hold this letter. and dare not open it because what if that date is today and that time is now?

Speaker 11 I cannot know, but I cannot not know.

Speaker 11 All these years, and I cannot eat, cannot drink, cannot breathe without thinking of him and this letter.

Speaker 11 I do not know if it was meant as a gift or as torture. Perhaps both.

Speaker 11 All I do know is that, however much he wanted me,

Speaker 11 he loved the program.

Speaker 27 And that's everything.

Speaker 27 You never saw him again.

Speaker 11 No, never.

Speaker 11 I do not know how he left the country, but if he had not,

Speaker 11 I would have found him.

Speaker 27 And this place where you locked him in, where he finished the programme, what was the address?

Speaker 5 Alright, fine. We're done.

Speaker 27 You can go.

Speaker 11 Finish Diesel um slag Eufnenwode.

Speaker 27 She left her envelope.

Speaker 27 Do not worry.

Speaker 5 I shall return it to her later.

Speaker 5 Thank you.

Speaker 29 Do you have any sugar?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 13 I like your house.

Speaker 11 It's very.

Speaker 24 It's not what I expected.

Speaker 2 What exactly were you expecting?

Speaker 13 I don't know.

Speaker 29 Something less.

Speaker 5 Hmm.

Speaker 29 nice.

Speaker 2 I see.

Speaker 2 Gwen, when I agreed to speak with you, I was under the impression that you needed to discuss something more substantial than my personal living arrangements. If that is not the case, then.
No.

Speaker 13 I mean, yes, I do. I.

Speaker 29 was just making small talk.

Speaker 2 Well, don't. You're not very good at it.

Speaker 25 Oh, and you're just so.

Speaker 29 I am glad you're doing well.

Speaker 5 Are you? Yes.

Speaker 12 Look, I know we had our.

Speaker 29 differences,

Speaker 29 but I am genuinely glad you're okay.

Speaker 2 Because you need something from me.

Speaker 29 No.

Speaker 13 Well, sort of.

Speaker 29 But also because, well, you left so suddenly and there was no record of you anywhere.

Speaker 2 Something I had orchestrated at considerable effort and no small expense.

Speaker 13 I was starting to worry that you had been.

Speaker 13 disappeared.

Speaker 2 I see.

Speaker 2 Surely the minister could have disabused you of that particular notion easily enough himself. Oh.
Well, we don't.

Speaker 29 we haven't really been in contact since um

Speaker 2 i'm sure he's very pleased with that outcome

Speaker 2 well then as you can see i am perfectly content in my obscurity and would prefer to stay that way so what is it that you need that is so urgent that it justifies invading my home like this i'm sorry if i overstepped What do you want, Gwen?

Speaker 13 I don't know what to do.

Speaker 10 Nobody does.

Speaker 29 We just turn up, sort cases, and then horrible things happen. There's no onboarding, no documentation, and it's not like the minister has any idea what actually goes on at the OIAR.

Speaker 12 And before you jump in with, I told you so, I'm still not convinced you know any more than the rest of us.

Speaker 2 Then why come here for answers you don't trust?

Speaker 24 Because

Speaker 29 for all our differences, I know that neither of us can stand to see a job done badly. So, if anyone knows, it's you.

Speaker 5 I don't know why I even bothered.

Speaker 2 Dread is organized into four key elements: death, pain, helplessness, and wrongness.

Speaker 2 It is essential that these four elements remain balanced. That is the purpose of the OIAR.

Speaker 5 Okay.

Speaker 2 Too little of any one of them, and we need to generate more. Too much of any of them, and we need to increase the others to compensate.

Speaker 2 The FR3-D1 system monitors these levels and anticipates what interventions are required in order to maintain balance.

Speaker 2 Failure to maintain balance will lead to horrible things happening, which I am guessing is what has brought you to me.

Speaker 29 But wait, that would mean

Speaker 29 that would mean the system can only trend upwards, generate more dread over time.

Speaker 13 Hmm. Correct.

Speaker 29 So, why not reduce them? Or just get rid of them entirely?

Speaker 2 Because it can't be done. At least not to my knowledge, and there's no one else to ask.

Speaker 2 I believe the response team used to try, but in my experience, utilizing appropriately sympathetic externals has proved the most reliable solution.

Speaker 29 That doesn't sound.

Speaker 5 good.

Speaker 2 Perhaps not, but it is the job.

Speaker 12 Says who?

Speaker 30 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Perhaps nobody.

Speaker 2 I never controlled the OIAR, Gwen. I just worked there long enough to understand what the system needs.

Speaker 2 The only thing I have ever known with any certainty is that when the levels are unbalanced, terrible things happen.

Speaker 2 Leave it unbalanced long enough, and the things you're worried about will become exponentially worse. I can only hope you've come seeking help before anyone is too badly hurt.

Speaker 5 Ah,

Speaker 2 that's a shame. I please don't give me details.
I'd rather not know.

Speaker 13 So, what's the Protocol?

Speaker 29 Is that just the official name for keeping things balanced?

Speaker 2 Now, where did you hear that, I wonder?

Speaker 2 In a sense, the Protocol is the last resort for keeping all this secret.

Speaker 29 What's wrong with transparency?

Speaker 2 I wouldn't try it. Even if people believed you, which they wouldn't, it would make it impossible to properly operate.
Too many motives, too many variables, too many people looking to take advantage.

Speaker 2 So if it looks like someone or something is going to sink the whole ship, you enact the protocol.

Speaker 12 Which is?

Speaker 2 Isolate, gather, control, excise, and subvert.

Speaker 29 Can I please just get one straight answer?

Speaker 2 Quarantine the problem, collect the information, extract whatever's useful, burn the rest, blame someone else.

Speaker 5 Right.

Speaker 2 Just do whatever it takes to keep things balanced. If you can manage that, when the rest will take care of itself.

Speaker 29 Even if people die.

Speaker 2 That's the job.

Speaker 11 Thank you, Lena.

Speaker 29 If there's anything I can do to repay you, like giving me my job back.

Speaker 5 Oh.

Speaker 2 That was a joke. You can keep it.

Speaker 5 Oh.

Speaker 5 Huh.

Speaker 2 There is one thing, though. Oh.

Speaker 5 Leave me alone, Gwen.

Speaker 2 Forget I ever existed. Not many of us get out unscathed.
I'd like to stay that way.

Speaker 1 I'll

Speaker 12 see what I can do.

Speaker 29 See you later, Lena.

Speaker 2 No, you won't.
