[0:00] Matthew Cohn: Have you ever disappeared? Have you ever run so fast from all the things in your life that plague you, that keep you up at night, that you ended up in a dark clearing surrounded by fir trees that loom black and harsh?
[0:27] Matthew Cohn: Have you ever woken up from a nightmare with dirt on your feet and no idea how the dirt got into the little dry cracks in your heel? Have you ever worried about your ancestors, the past and the future, and how they will shake off the trauma you've taken from them and then passed down to them?
[0:46] Matthew Cohn: Ravens understands, and we've got the shoes to take you from night to darker night, to that faint sliver of dawn threading the horizon. Use code—
[0:57] Matthew Cohn: It's 1.42 a.m., and I am in pursuit of a car driving down Route 9N. I think I'm going south. This looks like... fuck, it looks like the way we came when we passed through Saratoga Springs, but I don't... I'm following a blue... I think it's blue. A Toyota 4Runner. The plate is... shit, does it not have a plate?
[1:23] Matthew Cohn: No, no, no, it does. It's, uh, Delta Delta Radish, uh, dash... oh, fuck, I just turned its lights off. It's...
[1:32] Matthew Cohn: Shit. The plate is DDR-057.
[1:52] Matthew Cohn: It's just sitting there. Okay. Should I get out? Oh, someone's getting out. It's foggy. I can't make out...
[2:13] Matthew Cohn: They're headed into this brush to the left. I think it's to the... I don't...
[2:18] Matthew Cohn: I'm walking into... It's not quite forest, it's more like high grass. Trees.
[2:45] Matthew Cohn: I just have the flashlight on my phone, I should have. I've...
[3:03] Matthew Cohn: I've lost the person in the car. Is that... Is that him? I'm going to keep walking. Oh, there's a... a path. I see footprints.
[3:31] Matthew Cohn: I don't really know where... Is that him?
[3:47] Matthew Cohn: I've been walking for a few hours. I thought I saw footprints ahead of me. I did, actually. I did see them, but... I think I might be lost.
[4:09] Matthew Cohn: She'll be coming around the mountain where she comes, she'll be driving around the mountain when she comes, she'll be driving around the mountain, driving around the...
[4:22] Matthew Cohn: She'll be coming around the mountain.
[4:31] Matthew Cohn: I think I finally found something. I think this is what the man in the car was leading me toward.
[4:46] Matthew Cohn: It's some sort of pyre. It looks ancient, but also as if it's been lit recently. There's something primitive about it.
[4:56] Matthew Cohn: There are ashes here. Some sort of sacrifice. And... Oh my God.
[5:05] Matthew Cohn: Another postcard! It's the same kind. It's plain. No postmark, it says.
[5:15] Matthew Cohn: You are closer than you think. Keep going into the woods, you'll find what you're looking for.
[5:24] Matthew Cohn: Wow! This is... Oh shit, my battery's at 1%.
[5:31] Matthew Cohn: I'm going to find my way back to the car. I need different shoes before I...
[5:38] Matthew Cohn: Fuck!
[5:40] Matthew Cohn: Fuck!
