Chapter 1: What is the premise of The Magnus Protocol Episode 31?

7.368 - 30.322 Narrator

Rusty Quill Presents The Magnus Protocol Episode 31 Compartmentalising

0

81.741 - 85.624

That's... That's Colin, isn't it?

0

Chapter 2: Why is there a severed hand in the server?

85.644 - 95.431

Don't touch it! This is a crime scene now. Someone shoved... Someone's severed hand into the server, so we need to phone the police. Right now.

0

96.112 - 99.034

It's Colin. It's him. I know it is.

0

99.614 - 103.317

No, you don't. It could be anyone's severed hand.

0

104.298 - 113.758

There's no blood. What? Look, there's no blood. Not on his hand, his phone. The entire server rack is clean.

0

114.358 - 122.72

So whoever did it cleaned up after themselves. Even more reason to call the police. They have all kinds of DNA tests and forensic... Will you just look, Gwen?

122.94 - 139.723

I am looking. There's cables running through it and it looks like it's attached right to the electrics. How is it even still working? That wasn't just shoved in there by someone. It looks more like it came from inside the system... Alice, stop. Please.

141.829 - 150.395

I'm going to call the police now. I'm going to call the police and tell them what we found. And you're not going to mention your wild theory.

Chapter 3: Who is suspected in the mysterious events?

150.695 - 159.641

Gwen, we need to call Lena. Well, Lena isn't here, so... Uh, Gwen, you might want to hold off on that phone call.

0

159.881 - 161.082

Alice, for God's sake.

0

161.242 - 161.962

It's gotten.

0
0

163.003 - 172.767

The hand. When did that happen? I don't know. Just now. I... I turned to look at you, and then when I looked back, it was just gone.

173.427 - 175.588

Don't be ridiculous. It can't just be gone.

175.628 - 181.851

You must have just... I don't think the police can help with this.

182.391 - 184.392

Then what exactly do you propose?

185.033 - 186.753

We call Lena.

Chapter 4: What happens during the computer system error?

208.227 - 209.527

Sounded like a beep.

0

209.987 - 219.431

Obviously it's a beep. What I meant is... Gwen. I see it. Open it, Alice.

0

219.911 - 226.176

You open it! You're being foolish. If it can do that to Colin, it can open its own damn cases.

0

226.196 - 228.618

Oh, for goodness sake.

0

230.639 - 248.113

Error log. 14-05-2024-0403. Category. Fatal programmer error. ANO611 attempted host compromise. FR3-D1.EXE. JMJ equals null. Traceback module by extension. Becker. Error readout.

260.402 - 272.213 Unknown

I've got you now. No more red tape. No one coming to the rescue. Just you and me. Come on then, you got me, bastard!

272.593 - 310.445

Let's have it! Host equals self.host. Extension becker compromised. Self.host runtime interruption by unexpected data. Hardware, damage underscore crowbar slash dphw4600.

Chapter 5: How does the team react to Colin's alleged death?

402.54 - 407.003

Don't you dare do that. It murdered him.

0

407.524 - 413.529

I just meant that I don't think we're in any danger as long as we don't antagonise it.

0

415.15 - 417.112

So what? We're hostages now.

0

417.472 - 426.541

No. No, I'm sure we can leave. Um, Freddie? Can we leave?

0

428.443 - 433.127

Jesus Christ! What happened to you being in charge?

433.808 - 460.884

I am in charge, and now we've established there is no further risk to staff and that a police response would be... inappropriate. I think it would be best if we take a moment to... to assess the situation and, um... Gwen, where is Lena? I really don't know how much clearer I can be. The minister decided to have her replaced and gave me the job. What, just like that? No exit interview? No handover?

461.305 - 477.821

Just like that. Now, Alice, I need you to please explain to me again what you meant when you said Sam was gone. Is he dead? No! At least, Celia doesn't seem to think so. And what does Celia know about this?

478.322 - 494.533

Where is she? I told you, she's gone home. She was there when it happened. She saw Sam fall into... Well, I don't know what it is. Celia said it was a tear, if that means anything. He was fighting the Archivist, and then they must have... Enough.

495.413 - 497.535

Obviously, we need to bring Celia back in.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of the tear in the basement?

710.98 - 714.801

Hold on. Slow down. Colin's dead?

0

715.381 - 733.424

Yeah. We think Freddy killed him. Freddy? As in... The case system, yeah. I don't... He was chopped up inside the computer and it's all a mess. I don't know what to do. You need to get back to the office.

0

734.685 - 747.634

No, I don't, Alice. And neither do you. What are you saying? We can choose not to get involved. The OIAR is a government department, right? Sounds like a problem for the government.

0

748.315 - 751.517

What? No, that's not... What about Sam? Sam?

0

752.802 - 755.203

Sam's gone, Alice.

755.883 - 760.485

You keep saying that and it still doesn't mean anything. Where's he gone?

760.505 - 777.493

I... I don't know. Not exactly. That thing in the basement, the tear, I think... I think it leads to somewhere else. Meaning? Another world or dimension or something.

777.853 - 779.513

And how exactly do you know that? I...

782.867 - 784.067

Recognise it from a case.

Chapter 7: Why is Celia reluctant to return to the office?

858.521 - 859.782

It's using the photocopier.

0

860.642 - 862.244

What do you mean it's using the photocopier?

0

862.304 - 870.71

It's printing his face. Colin's face. Over and over. It won't stop. I tried pulling the plug, but it's still going.

0

871.23 - 895.642

Oh, God. What? He'd hate that. He always wanted us to go paperless. Alice, how can you joke at a time like this? A man is dead. Because right now it's laugh or cry, and at least I know Colin would have found that funny. Whatever, just hurry up. We'll be there to change your nappy just as soon as we finish with Jack's. Alice... Just don't open any email attachments until we get there.

0

895.922 - 897.183

Alice, don't you dare hang up...

912.583 - 913.984

Just leave me alone.

922.631 - 925.433 Unknown

Leave me alone. No. No.

943.137 - 946.939

I told you, didn't I? Some kind of mug thing or... Help!

946.959 - 948.6 Unknown

Help me! Crap.

Chapter 8: What unusual event occurs with the photocopier?

0

1068.486 - 1077.59

A cab? Wow, must be urgent. Thanks again, Georgie. Any issues, just call me. Away with you. Auntie Georgie's got everything in hand here.

0

1089.892 - 1110.516

Hello? Is this... Is this necessary? Can you at least tell me where I am? Shut up.

0

1112.776 - 1121.199

I want a solicitor. I said shut up. Captain should be here soon. And they'll explain? They'll decide what to do with you.

0

1122.119 - 1132.068

Right. Can I please lie down? I don't know if... Captain?

1132.889 - 1140.015

Dave? Report? Got some weird readings near the centre of the mile. Me and Heidi went to check it out. Found this.

1140.996 - 1142.898

Human? Human?

1143.667 - 1151.371

For God's sake. Doc reckons so. He's in a bad way, though. Malnourishment, apparently. Doc wants him on a drip, but I told him you'd need to give the okay.

1152.152 - 1160.996

Thanks, Dave. I'll take it from here. See if you can find where he got in. There wasn't a breach alert, so if we have a gap, I want to know about it. I'll be fine.
