If after you've heard
what I have to say...
:37:04
and you still wanna go
to the police, I'll drive you there myself.
:37:08
Whether or not you wanna
believe it, we're trying to help you here.
:37:12
So for once in your life it'd
be nice if you could acknowledge that you don't know everything.
:37:16
All right, I'm listening.
I'm all ears.
:37:18
A few years ago,
the Skulls tapped a promising young man.
:37:22
When the active council found
out he wasn't taking membership in the Order seriously,
:37:27
they decided that he needed
a lesson in humility.
:37:30
For this, they arranged
a fairly elaborate hoax.
:37:34
It took considerable
amounts of planning and capital, but...
:37:38
the council was actually
able to fake his roommate's suicide.
:37:43
So what?
It was just a test? This hoax...
:37:46
tested his allegiances
under extreme pressure when it would really count.
:37:50
- Did you hear about this?
- Yeah, Winston Taft told me the story.
:37:56
So you had his roommate
fake his death in order to test his allegiance to the Skulls?
:37:59
- Is that what you're telling me?
- It sure is.
:38:01
And Diana Rollins, this is just
another test as well? Come on, Ryan.
:38:05
Your little joke, the fake blood--
that was a complete red flag.
:38:11
Membership in the Order
is forever.
:38:14
We need to be sure
that our membership is taken seriously.
:38:18
There was a concern, which I shared,
that you weren't taking the Order very seriously.
:38:23
Because of me,
because you're a legacy.
:38:28
You know, this--
this all makes sense.
:38:32
It does.
:38:38
But I got one question
for you.
:38:40
Go ahead.
Where is Diana Rollins?
:38:44
Diana's fine.
She took a few days off from school.
:38:47
She's in New Hampshire skiing,
having a really good time.
:38:58
Well, I guess I failed
this test, huh?
