Mum when n; leap! over slufl.

Whereas flying displays a flagrant disregard

Unless his body was somehow
magnetically opposed m the Earth
or somehow magnetically attracted m (he sun,
which ls ridiculous.
He's just too powerful ii he can fly.

Hey, have you, um -- you checked nu! Madame Lightning yet -
You know, the cumin Edgar did?
- No. I mean. not yet. Of course, I will, but, uh--.
- You should- It's really good. - Yeah.
Mu. I'm sure it's great.
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's get started, shall we?
My name is Carol Dnreski,
and I'll be your tour guide this evening.
I'm a retired police officer who was part of the team
that raided ma; mansion so years ago.
Yes, I was one of the shooters.
Andre Toulon -- note m» pronunciation --
was born in Paris, France, in m1.
Not much is known about his life in Europe,
though from a very early age,
he was involved with the family business.
That was manufactu ring, selling, and performing with puppets.
We had three of his puppets in that display case over there...
before they got stolen.
And this is one of only two surviving photographs
of Les Fanlonhes Magiques do Toulon.
Translated, that means
"The Magical French Puppets ofToulon."
Now, Andre Toulon was imprisoned in Paris
m three years in (he late 1am
and twice for shorter durations in Norway and Luxembourg.
After his third incarceration, Toulon moved to Germany,
where he remained until shortly my the war.
Somebody m»: to Germany?
- During his time in m» Fatherland,
Toulon resumed hls puppet show.
Blueprints for this mansion and bars of gold
were sent from Germany to the Unites Stale: by Toulon
as World War ll turned ill favor Of the Allies.
Four weeks after Germany surrendered, Toulon,
along with his wife, Madeline,
boarded an ocean liner bound {or the Unified Sfams.
It was during this journey that Mrs. Toulon
jumped from mg ship
and committed sulclde.
-[ Chuckles ] [ Clears throat, sniffs ]
- The walls of this chamber are soundproof.
On the day that the police entered the premises,
these lour cots were occupied by women.
Three of them were alive, but in terrible shape.
Their...
[Clears throat]
Meyes had been gouged out,
and their bodies were covered with bums and lacerations.
All of them were insane.
And the two who were eventually identified...
were both Jewish.
Note the holes in the middle of (he mattresses
and the drain on the floor below them.
Il appears the war did not end in Germany (or Andre Tnulon.
The swastika in the center is more than eight feet tall.
Actually, when I grew up in Germany,
we never said "swastika." We said "Hakenkreuz."
- You have anything else you wanna m,
since you're the expert?
'Mum. “Hahn?
Follow me downstairs.
This is a partial collection
of Andre Touloifs extensive library.
M mm, the library has volumes on biology,
astrology, numerology,
eschatology, and demonology,
among other more “mm subjects.
These were written in 38 different languages,
not including the papyrus scrolls in that case over there,
which are in two languages ye! lo be identified'
Yes, we checked the Internet.
Now. I'd like you to pay close attention
m m; volumes prominently displayed in the case.
These are from the private library ofAdolf Eichmann.
Eichmann is credited with organizing the "Final Solution."
-n sounds like TUMOR deserved worse "I!" what he gut.
- You're quite right, my friend.
II
Thls cellar workshop
is where Andre Toulon manufactured puppets
for hls mail-order business.
It is unclear how many of these puppets were made
and sent around the United States,
Europe, and Asia,
though 60 or so of them are expected to be in Postville
by tomorrow for the auction.
This room...
is where we found Andre Toulon...
on the clay that we forced our way inside.
Toulon...
raised his gun,
which was a Luger.
And we shot him--.
Four times.
He fell to the ground and died without-__
taking a single shot.
I've often wondered -- maybe he wanted m a» executed.
A! least, I hope so.
Andre Toulan's body was claimed by a distant relative
and laid In rest in that mausoleum.
- What are the rods coming out of the -- the top?
- Oh, “n, no arm's really sure.
Speculation is that it has some sort of occult significance.
His library was full of that stuff.
- Because they don't go with the res!
Of the architecture, you know?
M, I guess they don't.
Well, this is the end of the tour.
Feel free In look around for a few more minutes
and ask me any additional questions.
- C»»I. Thank you.
You guys need a jump?
- Thanks, but I already tried that.
I'm not sure what could he wrung with it.
- Good luck.
- Hey, there's one right there. Right there.
- Oh. HI.
- Sorry. w= probably knocked it over
when we were rushing earlier.
II
Think somebody who works here took him?
- I think that a Iol of very valuable collectibles
all arrived in a small town at the same time
and I was a fucking moron to trust a hotel lock.
- Hello? - Yeah. Hi. Hi.
This is Edgar Easton, and I'm in 336. Um---...
- Resler dans Pombre. [ Buzzing ]
"Yes?
- Hello7 Hello? - H-Hello?
- Hello, sir'! - Hello. Hi --
Yes, yes. this is Edgar Easton. Sorry.
There was some interference on the line.
Yeah, I'm -- I'm In 336.
Something of mine is, uh, stolen.
- Okay. I'll - I'll -- I'll see what I can do.
Pk?!-
ow that voice say, "Raster m; Fomhm"?
-I think so, yes.
Why? What does that mean?
- It's French. It means, "Remain in the shadows-“
- Something just went under the bed.
- Like what? A cockroach? A mouse?
- Bigger.
Jason. - Yeal\?
- Our Kaiser's gone. You knaw where it is'?
- Yeah. Hold on a sec.
II
He's down here.
- How'd he get over there?
-I am know. Housekeepers, I guess.
- Well. after what we saw today in the Toulon Mansion,
I wouldnY have minded if it got stolen.
Having something like that makes me really uncomfortable.
- Lots of Jewish people collect Nazi memorabilia -- medals,
pamphlets, posters, stuff like that.
My um; Shelley does.
[ Sighs ] Where'd this guy go?
Huh.
- Is it to remind him of what happened back than?
- Il's a reminder, sure,
but there's also a feeling of empowerment there, you know?
Like saying to the Nazis,
"Your big plans of genocide and world domination
didn't work,
and now your symbols are nothing more than trinkets for us
t0 collect,
souvenirs afyourlailure and our survival."

Let's regroup in hem. We got w make a plan.
- I think we can defend ourselves better in the Easy Comfort.
- Fine. Let's regroup in m Easy Comfort an».
- Stick with him. I have m gel something.
Everybody should take one of these
so we know what we're up against.
- Vou're saying a puppet killed mug m. a goddamn toy?
- I know ll sounds insane,
but we all saw what we saw in the parking lot.
- Some of us did more than just see these things.
- This is crazy.
- We've called for police assistance.
The (W0 nearest lawns,
but they're not gonna be here for at least two hours.
- Two hours?
- Fuck. Double fuck.
- Right. So we're gonna have to figure out a way
m defend ourselves right now.
Anybody have any idea how this is happening,
how these puppets are doing what they're doing?
All right.
Then we catch one
and figure nut how I! works.
- You and your blue buddies seem to be
m, only ones with the guns.
- Yeah, and that's a good thing,
considering the terrible judgment some n! you
have exercised solar.
So, we "m. one, we lake n apart,
we figure out how it works, how to stop it, how to kill it.
Any idea as to how many (here might be?
-63 were to be auctioned off tomorrow, so maybe 40, 45?
Biscuits!
- Okay. The next logical question is, "Why?"
- Because they're Nalis.
Think about It.
They've targeted a Jewish couple, a gay woman, a gypsy,
and they were made by a guy who worked for the Third Reich.
I don'! (h ink that's a coincidence.
- They were attacking prelly indiscriminately
in the parking lot. - Okay, well, that's different.
That's -- That's when people were trying to flee
and mey were fighting back so they were just pissed.
- Why would a guy like "Too-Ion" --
- It's "Toulun."
- Why would anybody create a Nazi puppet?
- Because a puppet would be a very good spy.
They're little. They're ma.
They can go around unnoticed, find undesirables, okay?
"Anne Fmnk was hiding in your attic, a puppet could find h".
- What do you mean, like a bloodhound?
- Exactly, except one
- What exactly do you do, Mr. Easton?
- I write and draw comic books.
- And that makes you an authority on um
Nazi puppets?
-I have an imagination.
I also have an asshole cop for a father,
so this whole bit doesn't intimidate me.
- Why now? Why here, Mr. -- Mr. Comic Book?
- I don't know. I don't know.
But I happen to think that you're right.
We have u: “m. one, take n apart.
- I'll do it. My great-grandfather --
he had the numbers on his arm.
The stories that he told us, uh--.
"These um pllppels want a Jew,
then I'll he the hail, okay?
Bu! you gotta promise me that
after we find out what we need In know,
that you will let me kill the fucker.
