[Sylvie Harris]

Iheart 3D audio for full exposure.

[Corinne Abbas]

Listen with headphones.

[Narrator/Producer (Aaron Manke)]

Havoc Town is a production of iHeart podcasts and Grim and Mild from Aaron Manke. Headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised.

[Father Ivan]

11.10.1656 Kringa hysteria this is Father Ivan, my elder Father. Josip refuses to write another entreaty. He has seen the churches in action. And so it is left to me to appeal to the Holy Council and to beg once more for our lives. The village is ravaged with the blood fever. Entire families have been consumed, and per the Cardinal's instructions, the bodies have been burned. As soon as they succumb, it has come in waves. There are nights when you can see the bonfires far up into the hills, smell the flesh burning, the stars in the sky blotted out by the smoke. But it is the quiet nights that bring me true dread. We had one such night earlier this week. No one reported dead, no bonfires lighting up the night. I stood on the steps of the church and looked out over the town. And it was not hard to imagine that I was the last living man in hysteria. We are a small ship in a great storm, and I fear the next wave will extinguish us. If you do not hear from me again, assume that I too am smoke in the night sky.

[Corinne Abbas]

Come on now. I have nightmares. All my life I've had them. So it really never had anything to do with this particular day. That is to say, if I look back on this particular day and you ask, hey, Corin, would anything have tipped you off about how badly this day was going to go off the rails? Say a premonition in the form of a dream? I'd say to you, no, dummy, that's stupid. Dreams are our way of sifting through through our impressions of the day and making sense of them, fitting them in a neat little narrative. They don't tell you ahead of time that the world is getting ready to burn down. My name is Corinne Abbas. I own a bar, it's a family bar that my dad owned and his dad before him. I'm not sure that's important to the story, but I spend most of my time there, so. Hey, how was the treatment? Not fully covered, but the hospital is in network. So you're telling me that the specialist was not in network, huh? Well, what the hell does that mean for us? Yes, I'll hold. Morning, Pop. Insurance? Yeah, on hold. I'll call him later. No, no, I. Hello? Uh huh. Oh, okay, so can you just transfer me? Let me get a pen. Dad, sit. Okay Give me the number. Mm. All right. Thank you. Damn it. You know, I'm a big boy who can handle the insurance people myself. No, you always get pissed off and lose it on them. You look exhausted. Rough night? I haven't slept through a night in months. Coffee?

[Jury Havoc]

Please.

[Corinne Abbas]

So, what's on your agenda today? I gotta deal with the liquor license. Mm.

[Father Ivan]

Did it lapse?

[Corinne Abbas]

Yes. Second year in a row. I've forgotten. An idiot.

[Father Ivan]

Listen, kiddo, when I was in charge.

[Corinne Abbas]

We almost lost the damn business.

[Jury Havoc]

You're in good company.

[Corinne Abbas]

Jesus, Pop. I'm okay. You sure?

[Jury Havoc]

Yeah, yeah. I got an appointment with Dr. Culver Friday.

[Corinne Abbas]

If I make it till then. You gonna be okay on your own today? Yeah, I should be able to manage.

[Jury Havoc]

Okay, but we gotta talk tonight.

[Corinne Abbas]

Is this the talk? Well, no, not that talk, but it is that talking. Jason. Okay. What time are you home? Sylvie's closing, so it'll probably be around 8 or so. Okay, we'll talk. Love you. Love you, kiddo. Have a good one. You too. You stay out of trouble. Our house has been in the family for 100 years. The family has been in this town a lot longer than that. Beautiful Havoc, New Hampshire. Population 3,886. Located in the foothills of the White Mountains and once a prosperous farming town before becoming a prosperous mill town before all of that went away. We survive now in various and sundry ways, not the least of which is tourism. During the fall, the countryside around here is littered with apple orchards, pumpkin patches, all matter of picturesque colonial barns and gristmills that pop when the leaves turn. But more than that, it's the vampires. Well, not real vampires. See, we have a sort of history of religious zealots in this town. For instance, brother Ken here to the kings of the whole world. Morning, Ken. Ah, a good morning indeed, Miss Abbess. How's business? There's no end to the work of salvation, ma'. Am. Don't I know it. Have a good one. Yes, ma'. Am. Demonic spirits performing signs who go abroad to the kings of the whole world. Kins of the classic fire and brimstone school of preaching, more than their share, have called havoc home. One in particular cut a bloody swath through the heart of the town. See, Salem's got their witch trials while.

[Sylvie Harris]

We have the Abbestown vampire panic of 1817.

[Corinne Abbas]

This is Sarah Beth Spalding, head of the Havoc Historical Society, their only tour guide and a huge fan of my family.

[Sylvie Harris]

Over the course of a bloody fortnight, Josiah Abbess, the mad preacher, led a.

[Corinne Abbas]

Mob of religious zealots to Dig up.

[Sylvie Harris]

Numerous bodies of plague victims that they claimed to be vampires, desecrating their corpses.

[Corinne Abbas]

And scandalizing the community.

[Sylvie Harris]

Until that fateful night that he went too far.

[Corinne Abbas]

Hello, Sarah Beth. Ah, ladies and gentlemen, a true stroke of luck.

[Sylvie Harris]

We have here Corinne APIs, the last.

[Corinne Abbas]

Living descendant of the mad preacher. Well, it's not luck. You're standing in front of my bar, and my dad is still kicking. Thanks. Hey, folks, if this dry tour you're on makes you thirsty. Mad Abbas, Bloody Marys are half off all day long here at Dottie's. Moving on. Y' all come back now. Jimbo, if you're gonna sit here and wait out front for me to open the bar, I'd love it if you do your job and clear the looky loos away before they scare off my paying customers.

[Jimbo Horne]

Hey, they're not breaking any laws. Corrine, the sidewalk is a public thoroughfare.

[Corinne Abbas]

There are my tax dollars at work. I'll put some coffee on.

[Jimbo Horne]

Thanks, kid. You're not half the monster they make you out to be.

[Corinne Abbas]

Well, you don't know me half as well as you'd think, Jimbo. That's the thing about living in a small town. Everyone knows your business and your father's and his father's all the way back, so you get painted with the same br. Especially if those ancestors of yours happened to be insane and led the charge on the most macabre event in your town's history. Once held in such high esteem that our fair city was literally named Abbesstown. The Abbess bloodline was forever laid low by the actions of the good Reverend Josiah Abbess. The town's named Havoc now unironically.

[Jimbo Horne]

So the man says. I founded this town.

[Corinne Abbas]

I know this one, Jimbo.

[Jimbo Horne]

Just wait, he says. Built her up, made sure she was good and stable. Set up the local constabulary, you know. But do they call me the town founder? No.

[Sylvie Harris]

Have you read Sarah Lynn's column today?

[Corinne Abbas]

Morning, Sylvie.

[Sylvie Harris]

Have you read it?

[Jimbo Horne]

Sylvie, I'm telling a joke here.

[Sylvie Harris]

Oh, Jimbo, I swear to God. Well, no, no.

[Corinne Abbas]

I've been slammed first with Dad's insurance and then the inventory.

[Sylvie Harris]

Who reads their paper?

[Jimbo Horne]

How's old Johnny doing anyhow?

[Corinne Abbas]

Not great, Jimbo.

[Sylvie Harris]

Corinne, focus.

[Corinne Abbas]

Okay. Why don't you give me the highlights?

[Sylvie Harris]

Okay. It reads, and I quote, a Havoc homecoming. Ephesus is mine. For the first time in two generations, a flurry of activity has been noted at the long dormant Jury Havoc house on the north side of town. Witnesses have reported workmen milling about the place and a large moving truck Was seen on the 7th. Built in 1798, this Federal style double house was the country home of industrialist Jury Havoc viii. Skippy. Skippy. Skipping boring history shit. Oh, Jesus. Sarah Beth. Oh, okay, okay, here. This reporter has it on good authority that scion to the Havoc empire, Jury Havoc XIV himself will be coming to town to continue on the industry of his forebearer, Juri the eighth. Will this mean new business in the town named for them? Only time will tell.

[Corinne Abbas]

So? So what?

[Sylvie Harris]

So what do you think of that?

[Corinne Abbas]

Uh, I mean, neat, neat, neat.

[Sylvie Harris]

Jerry Havoc, the famous recluse billionaire is coming home. Isn't that at least interesting to you as, I don't know, the last of a bloodline cursed by his great great great great grandfather?

[Corinne Abbas]

Well, there's no curse.

[Sylvie Harris]

Okay, yeah, sure. Well, maybe this is your chance to march up the hill, ring his doorbell, bury the hatchet, apologize for your great great great grandfather terrorizing his great great great grandfather, and finally get rid of your family. Totally not a curse once and for all.

[Corinne Abbas]

That's insane.

[Sylvie Harris]

Ugh. You are hopeless.

[Corinne Abbas]

What do you expect me to say, Sylvie? We're understaffed. I've got to renew the liquor license today or we'll lose it. I spent half the morning on the line with dad's insurance because for some reason they're not covering his most recent round of testing.

[Sylvie Harris]

Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

[Corinne Abbas]

And on top of that, my head.

[Sylvie Harris]

Waitress was running late, I was doing recon.

[Corinne Abbas]

And I deeply appreciate it, but we're under a time crunch today, okay? And I need you by my side.

[Sylvie Harris]

I got you.

[Corinne Abbas]

Sylvie, let go.

[Sylvie Harris]

I will never, ever, ever leave you. And you will never leave me. Right?

[Corinne Abbas]

Okay. God. Mama's got errands to run. Okay, hold down the fort.

[Sylvie Harris]

Will do.

[Jimbo Horne]

You didn't let me finish my joke.

[Sylvie Harris]

Oh, screw your joke.

[Corinne Abbas]

All right, all right. Be quick.

[Jimbo Horne]

So the guy says, I founded the town, but do they call me the town founder?

[Corinne Abbas]

No, no, I built the church.

[Jimbo Horne]

I built the church brick by brick, Preach the gospel there every Sunday. But do they call me the town preacher?

[Corinne Abbas]

No.

[Jimbo Horne]

No. I planted the very first apple tree in town.

[Sylvie Harris]

Ah, but did they call me abbess, the orchard keeper?

[Jimbo Horne]

No, but. Chicken. So you've heard it then.

[Corinne Abbas]

Coffee's on the house, Jim.

[Jimbo Horne]

Thanks, kid.

[Corinne Abbas]

Sylvie, I'll be back in a couple hours. Don't let my bar burn down.

[Sylvie Harris]

Gotcha, honey.

[Corinne Abbas]

That right there was the entirety of my day to day life. Dad. Errands, the bar in a cycle. Days become weeks, become months, become years. And you know what? It Was fine, dependable, quiet. Maybe I got bored from time to time. Maybe I sometimes remember the dreams of my youth. Maybe being caretaker to dad and the ragtag group of eccentric drunks that made Dottie's hideaway home occasionally bore on me. I'd become accustomed to the steadiness of things. Comforted, lulled. And this is the moment it all ended. What the hell? When the forest green 2000 Toyota Corolla came barreling through the intersection and onto Main, slamming into a garbage can. I froze when its driver steered directly toward me. All I could do was let out a quiet sigh of resignation. Look out. Hey.

[Jury Havoc]

You all right?

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh, are you bleeding?

[Jury Havoc]

Sorry. Not.

[Corinne Abbas]

I think that's you, but your suit.

[Jury Havoc]

Oh, suits me. It's actually a bit old. Quite shabby. I was thinking of donating it to charity.

[Corinne Abbas]

I'm sorry, what, what's happening?

[Jury Havoc]

Well, it looks like the man that was driving that car tried to mow you down. Only missed, luckily decided to hit the courthouse steps instead. Looks like he's murdered the front axle.

[Corinne Abbas]

Is he okay?

[Jury Havoc]

Oh, yes, he's. Oh, actually he's bleeding. Bleeding quite a lot. Oh, shit.

[Corinne Abbas]

Get back, everyone.

[Jury Havoc]

He's got knacks.

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh my God. The driver was covered in blood from head to toe and in his hands, an old axe. I don't know what I was expecting from him, but it wasn't for him to start swinging. The first couple of onlookers managed to duck his swings, but poor old Mr. Shelton took the blade to the shoulder and collapsed.

[Jury Havoc]

Maybe you should get up Faster.

[Corinne Abbas]

Faster. Put the master. Pass the blood to the master. Hey.

[Jury Havoc]

Oh.

[Corinne Abbas]

Pass the blood to the master. Pass the blood to the master.

[Jimbo Horne]

Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Call 9.

[Corinne Abbas]

1 1.

[Jimbo Horne]

I, I don't have my radio.

[Corinne Abbas]

I, I, I, it's okay, Jimbo. Jesus.

[Jimbo Horne]

I, I ain't never shot anyone. Corinne. I, I, I need to stop. He's bleeding.

[Corinne Abbas]

God, he's covered. Where, where is it all coming from?

[Jury Havoc]

Maybe you shouldn't touch him.

[Jimbo Horne]

No, nonsense. I gotta keep him alive. Hey, hey, buddy, it's all right. Calm down and let me. God damn animal. They put me.

[Jury Havoc]

Jesus.

[Jimbo Horne]

Sit still.

[Jury Havoc]

Are you alright? I mean, you look pretty scraped up.

[Corinne Abbas]

Hmm. Yes. Yeah, I'm okay. Sore little, little shell shocked.

[Jury Havoc]

Yeah. Well, you're in good company. I'm sorry, what's your name?

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh, Corinne. I'm Corinne.

[Jury Havoc]

Well, nice to meet you, Corinne. Under the circumstances.

[Corinne Abbas]

Yeah. Shit. Well, thank you for pushing me out of the way. You saved my life.

[Jury Havoc]

Oh, don't mention it. It's just lucky.

[Father Ivan]

All right, Jimbo got an ambulance.

[Corinne Abbas]

What? Wow, that's a lot of blood. What the hell happened?

[Jimbo Horne]

Crazy son of a bitch bit me. Was up at Dottie's and. And I heard the car burn by, slam into the courthouse and the guy came out swinging. People were scattering.

[Corinne Abbas]

It was a blur after that. The Havoc police hadn't had anything resembling homicide in a decade and they'd never seen anything like this. This man dressed in chinos and a polo shirt, covered in blood and slamming into the courthouse steps. Mr. Shelton didn't make it. He was dead before he hit the ground. His poor wife, his poor kids and his grandkids. I got questioned by Jimbo before they sent him off to the hospital to get his hand checked out by Jay Campbell. The first on the scene and then the second on the scene all the way up. Repeat questions, disbelief. They weren't accustomed to this sort of thing. I was four officers deep before anybody saw my scrapes and thought to have someone look at them. It was sunset before they let me.

[Corinne Abbas]

You know how waking up from a dream, a familiar place can look suddenly completely alien? Well, Main street havoc. New Hampshire may as well have been the surface of the moon to me that night, with mobs of concerned citizens crowding the streets and the flickering blue lights bouncing off the walls of the buildings. I didn't know where to go and what to do until.

[Sylvie Harris]

Corinne? Corinne.

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh, my God.

[Sylvie Harris]

Sweetie. They wouldn't tell me what happened. I thought I'd lost you. There's so much chaos. Are you okay? Your dad called. He was is worried sick.

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh. Yeah, I, I, I, I think I dropped my phone when I hit the pavement. I.

[Sylvie Harris]

They didn't get you a doctor?

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh, no, I'm, I'm fine. I'm fine, Sylvie. Just. Let's just go to do's and let me have a drink and call my father.

[Sylvie Harris]

Of course, honey. Okay. Come on. Drove up on the sidewalk and just aimed for the crowd.

[Corinne Abbas]

Did you see him just dive in?

[Sylvie Harris]

You sit. What can I get for you?

[Corinne Abbas]

Um, whiskey. Yeah, get me my dad's bottle.

[Sylvie Harris]

You got it.

[Corinne Abbas]

And the phone. I'm sure Dad's worried sick.

[Sylvie Harris]

Got it.

[Corinne Abbas]

And Sylvie, you still hiding that pack of cigarettes behind the absinthe?

[Sylvie Harris]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Corinne Abbas]

Just hand them to me.

[Sylvie Harris]

That bad, huh?

[Corinne Abbas]

Yeah, that bad.

[Father Ivan]

This is John Abbath.

[Jimbo Horne]

What do you want?

[Corinne Abbas]

Hey, Pop. I'm sure Sylvie told you about all the chaos. Well, I'm okay. I mean, well, not okay, but alive and only sort of scuffed up. Anyway, I guess you're asleep. I'm sorry I didn't call earlier. We can have that talk in the morning, I guess. Okay. I love you.

[Sylvie Harris]

We never use the absinthe light.

[Corinne Abbas]

Uh huh. Oh, shit.

[Sylvie Harris]

Sylvie, are you okay, hon?

[Corinne Abbas]

The tv.

[Sylvie Harris]

What?

[Corinne Abbas]

Turn up the tv.

[Sylvie Harris]

Oh.

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh.

[Sylvie Harris]

Continued on to the Havoc courthouse where he crashed his car into the courthouse steps as bystanders attempted to assist him. He brutally attacked and killed one on the spot as others fled on foot. In total, two were killed and seven injured before he was apprehended by local police. The suspect has been identified as Raymond Bachman of Bangor, Maine, who is currently being treated for injuries at Havoc Memorial Hospital. More on this story as details emerge. A New Hampshire state senator has found himself. That is insane. You could have been killed. Yeah.

[Corinne Abbas]

Well, here's to Mr. Shelton. He was a good guy.

[Sylvie Harris]

Yeah. Always tipped well. Never got grabby.

[Corinne Abbas]

He'll be missed.

[Sylvie Harris]

To Mr. Shelton.

[Corinne Abbas]

Sorry, we're.

[Sylvie Harris]

Well, hello, handsome. You've got to be lost.

[Jury Havoc]

Hello. I hope I'm not disturbing you. Is this bad time?

[Sylvie Harris]

No, sir.

[Jury Havoc]

Now come in.

[Sylvie Harris]

By all means. Can I get you something?

[Jury Havoc]

No, thank you. Hi.

[Corinne Abbas]

Hi.

[Jury Havoc]

Sorry, we sort of got separated with all the questioning, and I just wanted to make sure that they took care of all those scrapes.

[Corinne Abbas]

[Jury Havoc]

And I found your phone. At least I think it's yours. God, I hope it's yours. Or else I've stolen somebody's phone.

[Corinne Abbas]

It's mine. Thank you.

[Jury Havoc]

And you're all right?

[Corinne Abbas]

Yeah.

[Sylvie Harris]

Hello. I am Sylvie. I work here and I am friends with Corinne.

[Corinne Abbas]

Oh, God, I'm sorry. This is Sylvie. Sylvie. This nicely dressed man pushed me out of the way of a moving car and saved my life. And I. I never caught his name.

[Jury Havoc]

All right. I'm Jury. Jury Havoc.

[Sylvie Harris]

Well.
