After discovering Alexander's hidden journal, Elise learns the disturbing truth: he accidentally summoned an ancient entity that feeds on fear, desire, and death. When Alexander attempted to bind this entity to Blackwood Estate, he was murdered by someone he trusted. Now the entity reveals itself directly to Elise, offering a terrible bargain—become its vessel in exchange for preserving her connection with Alexander, or lose him forever.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.759
Calarogu Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Romance Weekly.
2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:17.800
This episode is titled Whispers in the Dark, Part three Possession.
3
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.840
The knife from the intruder sits on my desk as
4
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.240
I write this, a constant reminder that the danger in
5
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.000
Blackwood Estate isn't confined to dreams and ghosts. It's been
6
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.640
three days since the break in, and in that time,
7
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.240
the boundaries between my world and Alexander's have begun to
8
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.320
blur in ways I never thought possible. I called the
9
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.920
police the morning after the attack. Of course, the local
10
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.560
sheriff arrived, took photos of the overturned furniture, the broken vase,
11
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.319
the bloodstain on the wall. He examined the knife with
12
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:09.359
gloved hands, bagging it as evidence. This is an unusual weapon,
13
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.319
he commented, ceremonial. Maybe not the kind of thing your
14
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.079
average burglar carries. I told him about the elderly woman
15
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.120
who had warned me carefully omitting the supernatural elements of
16
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.480
her appearance and disappearance. He promised to check local records
17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.480
for anyone matching her description, but his expression told me
18
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.640
he didn't expect to find anything. These old estates attract
19
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.200
all kinds of attention, he said, as he was leaving.
20
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.120
History buffs, ghost hunters, teenagers looking for a thrill, but
21
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.159
an armed intruder. That's something else. You got, somewhere else.
22
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.519
You can stay for a while. I told him I didn't.
23
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.920
The truth is I couldn't leave even if I wanted to,
24
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.319
Not with Alexander's journal still unfound, not with his mystery
25
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.799
still unsolved, not with his touch still lingering on my skin.
26
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.840
After the sheriff left, I renewed my search for the
27
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.919
journal with a desperate intensity. I scoured the library again,
28
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.039
checking for hidden compartments in the desk, behind books, beneath floorboards.
29
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.439
I returned to the small room where I'd found Alexander's portrait,
30
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.479
examining every trunk and box nothing. By late afternoon, frustrated
31
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.360
and exhausted, I found myself in the cellar, a vast
32
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.120
space beneath the house that I had avoided until now.
33
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.680
Stone walls wept with moisture, and the dirt floor was
34
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.120
uneven beneath my feet. Most of the space was taken
35
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.800
up with abandoned furniture, old trunks, and the kinds of
36
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.199
debris that accumulate over a century of habitation. I was
37
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.840
about to give up when my flashlight illuminated a section
38
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.840
of wall that seemed different from the rest. The stones,
39
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:03.439
more precisely fitted, the more newer. Pressing my hand against it,
40
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.360
I felt a slight draft. There was something beyond. It
41
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.120
took me an hour of careful examination to find the mechanism,
42
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.360
a protruding stone that, when pushed in the right way,
43
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.960
caused a section of the wall to swing inward. The
44
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.159
space beyond was small, more of a closet than a room,
45
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.759
empty except for a metal box on the floor. My
46
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.800
hands trembled as I lifted it. No lock, just a
47
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.879
simple latch. Inside, wrapped in oilcloth, was a leather bound book,
48
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.719
Alexander's Journal. I carried it upstairs to the library, my
49
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:50.599
heart racing with anticipation. The first entry was dated June nineteen, nineteen,
50
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.960
seven months after the armistice that ended the Great War.
51
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.680
Alexander's handwriting was elegant, decisive, the script of a man
52
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.439
educated in an era when penmanship mattered. I have returned
53
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.919
to Blackwood Estate at last. The war has taken more
54
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.960
from me than I care to admit, not just years
55
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.080
of my life, but something of my faith in humanity,
56
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.120
what I witnessed in Europe cannot be unsaid or undone.
57
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.360
But I am home now, and there is comfort in
58
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.720
these familiar walls, in the constant presence of the sea,
59
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.600
the text I discovered in the ruins of Saint Michel
60
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.560
is safely hidden. I have begun the translation work, though
61
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.680
my knowledge of medieval Latin is imperfect. What I have
62
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:45.519
deciphered so far is unsettling. If even half of what
63
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.800
it suggests is true, then everything we believe about the
64
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:54.360
nature of reality is fundamentally flawed. The next several entries
65
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.879
detailed his progress translating the mysterious text, interspersed with obser
66
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.279
about the estate and his plans for restoring the family businesses.
67
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.000
It painted a picture of a man trying to balance
68
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:15.759
mundane responsibilities with an increasingly consuming intellectual pursuit. By August,
69
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.560
his entries had grown more erratic, his elegant script occasionally
70
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:26.639
deteriorating into hasty scrawls. The translation is nearly complete, and
71
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.240
I find myself both exhilarated and terrified by what I
72
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.279
have learned. The ancients understood truths that modern science has
73
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.319
yet to rediscover. That the barrier between worlds is permeable
74
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.839
that consciousness itself is the key to traversing these boundaries.
75
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.519
I have begun the preliminary rituals described in the text,
76
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.439
simple meditative practices to heighten awareness of the liminal spaces
77
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:59.360
around us. Already I sense changes in my perception. The
78
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:04.480
house feels different, more alive. Somehow. Last night, I would
79
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.120
swear I heard whispers in the walls, though I was
80
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:13.879
quite alone. As September turned to October, Alexander's entries became
81
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.879
more concerning. I am no longer alone in the house.
82
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.240
Something has taken notice of my work. I feel its
83
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.240
presence most strongly at night, A weight in the air,
84
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.079
a darkness deeper than absence of light. I should be afraid,
85
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:36.240
I suppose, but curiosity overwhelms caution. What manner of entity
86
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.120
have I attracted from? What realm does it originate? I
87
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.720
have left offerings, as the text suggests, small things, drops
88
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.720
of my blood, fragments of personal items, memories willingly surrendered
89
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.199
in return. It shows me visions of other places, other times,
90
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.879
knowledge beyond imagining. The final entries, dated early November nineteen twenty,
91
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.720
were the most disturbing. The entity has revealed its nature
92
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.079
to me at last, not a ghost or spirit as
93
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.600
we commonly understand them, but something far older. It calls
94
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.920
itself many names, none of which I can pronounce in
95
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.120
any human tongue. It exists in the spaces between worlds,
96
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.199
feeding on a particular energy generated by human consciousness, specifically
97
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.879
the energy of fear, desire, and death. It offers a
98
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:39.160
bargain knowledge and power in exchange for sustenance. I hesitate
99
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.519
to commit the details to paper, even in this private journal.
100
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.680
The implications are too terrible to contemplate, and yet the
101
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:52.160
temptation is overwhelming. I dreamed last night of a woman
102
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.879
I have never met. She stood in my bedroom, her
103
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.920
face both strange and achingly familiar. Don't trust, she said,
104
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.439
No matter what it promises, no matter what it shows you,
105
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.160
it cannot create, only consume. When I tried to speak
106
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.040
to her to ask her name, she placed her finger
107
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.439
against my lips. I will find you, she whispered, in
108
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.600
another time, and then perhaps we can undo what has
109
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.800
been done. I awoke with the certainty that her warning
110
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.319
was real, a message across time. But from whom? And
111
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.160
how can I possibly interpret such a vision when my
112
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.600
every thought may now be influenced by the entity's presence.
113
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:42.840
The final entry was dated November fifteenth, nineteen twenty. I
114
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:47.200
have made my decision. Tonight. I will complete the binding ritual,
115
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.799
not as the entity expects, but with modifications of my
116
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:56.519
own design. If my calculations are correct, the result will
117
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.559
trap it within the confines of the estate, preventing it
118
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.480
from extending its influence into the wider world. The cost
119
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.679
will likely be my life, but I see no alternative.
120
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.960
What I have unleashed cannot be allowed to roam free
121
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.759
to whoever may find this journal. Beware, the entity remains
122
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:21.799
bound to Blackwood Estate, but not destroyed. It will seek
123
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.080
a new agent, someone to complete what I began. It
124
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:32.200
will offer dreams, desires, knowledge beyond imagining. Do not trust it.
125
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.039
Do not trust any visions or visitations within these walls.
126
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.200
And if by some miracle she exists, the woman from
127
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.960
my dream, know that I have done this for you,
128
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.799
though we may never meet in any life or time.
129
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:52.519
The journal ended. There no further entries, no explanation of
130
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.840
what happened that night, of how Alexander died, just that
131
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.879
final warning, written in a hand that suggested agency, perhaps fear.
132
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.679
I closed the book, my mind racing the woman in
133
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.879
his dream. Could it have been me? Had Alexander somehow
134
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.159
sensed my existence across the span of a hundred years
135
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.840
and this entity he described? Was it still here, bound
136
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.559
to the house as he claimed? Was it the true
137
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.480
cause of our connection? I didn't realize how late it
138
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.799
had grown until I noticed the darkness pressing against the
139
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:34.840
library windows. The house seemed unnaturally quiet, the usual creaks
140
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.559
and settling noises absent, as if it was holding its
141
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:44.000
breath waiting Alexander. I called out, my voice, small in
142
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:44.679
the silence.
143
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:46.279
Are you here?
144
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.320
No response came, but I felt a change in the air,
145
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:55.320
a heaviness, a pressure against my skin, the same sensation
146
00:10:55.440 --> 00:11:00.759
Alexander had described in his journal. I wasn't alone, but
147
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.320
for the first time since arriving at Blackwood Estate, I
148
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.519
wasn't sure if the presence I sensed was Alexander at all.
149
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.120
I retreated to the master bedroom, the journal clutched against
150
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.399
my chest like a shield. If Alexander's ghost was bound
151
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.519
to the house because of this entity, then whatever connection
152
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.879
we shared might be tainted by its influence. The passion
153
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.000
I'd felt, the impossible pleasure of our encounters. Was any
154
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.159
of it real? Or merely the entity's way of luring
155
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:45.840
me in as it had once lured Alexander. Despite my exhaustion,
156
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.559
I fought against sleep that night. I didn't want to dream,
157
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.919
didn't want to find myself in that liminal space where
158
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.799
Alexander waited, not until I could be sure it was
159
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.600
truly him, not some manifest created by the entity to
160
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.639
manipulate me. But eventually fatigue won out. I drifted into
161
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.600
uneasy slumber and found myself in the familiar, transformed version
162
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.799
of the bedroom. Alexander stood by the window, his back
163
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.559
to me, gazing out at the moonlit grounds. For the
164
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.600
first time, I studied him with suspicion rather than desire.
165
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.879
Was this really the ghost of a man who had
166
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.639
died a century ago? Or something older, darker? Wearing his
167
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:38.320
face like a mask, He turned sensing my presence. His
168
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.360
smile of welcome faltered as he registered my expression. You
169
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.720
found it, he said quietly the journal. I nodded, keeping
170
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.960
my distance. You knew where it was all along, Not
171
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.960
exactly I knew it existed, but my memories of what
172
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.559
I wrote of where I hid it agmentary, like trying
173
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.759
to recall a book you read as a child. You
174
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.919
wrote about an entity, something ancient, that you accidentally summoned
175
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.960
or contacted through that text you found in France. His
176
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:18.799
expression grew grim. Yes, you said you performed a ritual
177
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.559
to bind it to the estate, that you expected the
178
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:26.679
effort to kill you, and so it did. His hand
179
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.720
went to his chest, to the scar I'd noticed before,
180
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:37.559
though not in the way I anticipated what happened. Alexander
181
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.399
moved toward me, stopping when I instinctively backed away. Pain
182
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.159
flashed across his features. At my retreat, the ritual required blood,
183
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.879
he said mine. I had prepared everything, set the boundaries
184
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.960
of the binding, but at the last moment, as I
185
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.840
raised the knife, he broke off, his form, flickering like
186
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.320
a candle in a draft. Someone else was there, someone
187
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.559
I had trusted. They took the knife from my hand
188
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:12.639
and completed the sacrifice for me. You were murdered, yes,
189
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.240
But the murderer didn't understand the ritual's true purpose. They
190
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.519
believed they were completing what I had begun, a binding
191
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.559
that would give the entity access to our world, not
192
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:29.759
confine it. Why would anyone want that? I asked, power knowledge,
193
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:35.200
the same temptations the entity had offered me Alexander's expression darkened.
194
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:41.279
The entity promised impossible things, immortality, command over the forces
195
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.039
of nature, the ability to bend reality itself. My colleague
196
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.960
believed every word, but the ritual still worked. The entity
197
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:55.399
was bound partially. My preparations were sound enough that it
198
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.279
couldn't escape the estate entirely. But it wasn't fully contained
199
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.320
as I had intended. It has influence here within these walls,
200
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:08.360
and it has been waiting, gathering strength, looking for another chance.
201
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.440
I thought of the woman who had warned me of
202
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.840
the intruder with the ceremonial knife. Who killed you? Alexander,
203
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:26.120
who completed the ritual? He shook his head, frustration evident
204
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.519
in his expression. I don't remember that moment, the actual death.
205
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.120
It's blank. I remember the pain, the feeling of betrayal,
206
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.879
but not the face. I studied him, trying to see
207
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.720
beyond the handsome features, the intense eyes that had captivated
208
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:49.080
me from our first encounter. Could I trust him? Or
209
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:54.159
was this entire story just another manipulation the entity? I
210
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.559
said carefully. He wrote that it feeds on fear, desire,
211
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:03.440
and death. Our encounters, what we've shared. Is that real?
212
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:09.679
Or is it just food for this thing. Alexander's face softened.
213
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.480
He approached me, slowly, as one might have frightened animal.
214
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.639
This time, I held my ground. What we share is real, Elise.
215
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.320
The entity didn't create it. It's merely taken advantage of it.
216
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.919
His hand reached for mine, and despite my reservations, I
217
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.639
allowed the contact. That same electric current flowed between us,
218
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.759
warming his spectral touch. I believe you are the woman
219
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.039
in my dream that somehow across time you reached back
220
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:46.600
to warn me that our connection exists outside the entity's influence.
221
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.080
How can you be sure? His smile was sad. I can't,
222
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.519
but I know what I feel when I'm with you,
223
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.759
and it's not dark or hungry or consuming. It's light, warmth,
224
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.559
something I haven't felt since I was alive. I wanted
225
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:09.960
to believe him. God help me. I still wanted him,
226
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.720
even knowing what I now knew. I let him pull
227
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:18.279
me closer, let his arms encircle me. If what you
228
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.319
say is true, I murmured against his chest, then the
229
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.640
entity is still here, still dangerous, and someone else knows
230
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.440
about it, someone who sent that intruder with the ritual knife. Yes,
231
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.200
he agreed, his fingers threading through my hair. Someone who
232
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.640
has discovered what I discovered, who wants what I wanted
233
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.480
before I understood the true cost. We need to find them,
234
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.279
stop them. I pulled back to look into his eyes.
235
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.000
And we need to finish what you started. Bind the
236
00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.799
entity properly, or banish it entirely. Alexander's expression grew troubled.
237
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.920
That may not be possible without risking your life. The
238
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:10.599
ritual requires blood, Elise, a sacrifice. There must be another way,
239
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.640
I insisted. Your journal mentioned the text you found in France.
240
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.880
Is it still here, hidden somewhere in the house. I
241
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.279
believe so, though I don't remember where. His hands framed
242
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:28.200
my face with exquisite tenderness. But Elise, you must understand,
1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.759
2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:17.800
3
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.840
4
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.240
5
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.000
6
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.640
7
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.240
8
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.320
9
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.920
10
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.560
11
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.319
12
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:09.359
13
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.319
14
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.079
15
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.120
16
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.480
17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.480
18
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.640
19
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.200
20
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.120
21
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.159
22
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.519
23
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.920
24
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.319
25
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.799
26
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.840
27
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.919
28
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.039
29
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.439
30
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.479
31
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.360
32
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.120
33
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.680
34
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.120
35
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.800

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:03.439
