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 Alice Dyer

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

0

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

85.644 - 95.431 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Alice Dyer

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

0

99.614 - 103.317 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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

0

104.298 - 113.758 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

Alice, for God's sake.

0

161.242 - 161.962 Alice Dyer

It's gotten.

0

162.543 - 162.983 Gwendolyn Bouchard

What is?

0

163.003 - 172.767 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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

175.628 - 181.851 Alice Dyer

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

182.391 - 184.392 Gwendolyn Bouchard

Then what exactly do you propose?

185.033 - 186.753 Alice Dyer

We call Lena.

Chapter 4: What happens during the computer system error?

208.227 - 209.527 Alice Dyer

Sounded like a beep.

0

209.987 - 219.431 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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

0

219.911 - 226.176 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

Oh, for goodness sake.

0

230.639 - 248.113 Computer Voice

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 Computer Voice

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

402.54 - 407.003 Alice Dyer

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

0

407.524 - 413.529 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Alice Dyer

So what? We're hostages now.

0

417.472 - 426.541 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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

0

428.443 - 433.127 Alice Dyer

Jesus Christ! What happened to you being in charge?

433.808 - 460.884 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

Obviously, we need to bring Celia back in.

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

710.98 - 714.801 Celia Ripley

Hold on. Slow down. Colin's dead?

0

715.381 - 733.424 Alice Dyer

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 Celia Ripley

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 Alice Dyer

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

0

752.802 - 755.203 Celia Ripley

Sam's gone, Alice.

755.883 - 760.485 Alice Dyer

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

760.505 - 777.493 Celia Ripley

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 Alice Dyer

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

782.867 - 784.067 Celia Ripley

Recognise it from a case.

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

858.521 - 859.782 Gwendolyn Bouchard

It's using the photocopier.

0

860.642 - 862.244 Alice Dyer

What do you mean it's using the photocopier?

0

862.304 - 870.71 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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 Alice Dyer

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 Gwendolyn Bouchard

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

912.583 - 913.984 Samama Khalid

Just leave me alone.

922.631 - 925.433 Unknown

Leave me alone. No. No.

943.137 - 946.939 Warden Dave

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?

1068.006 - 1068.466 Celia Ripley

Cab's here.

0

1068.486 - 1077.59 Georgie Barker

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 Samama Khalid

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

0

1112.776 - 1121.199 Warden Dave

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 Samama Khalid

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

1132.889 - 1140.015 Warden Dave

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 Georgie Barker

Human? Human?

1143.667 - 1151.371 Warden Dave

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 Georgie Barker

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.
