After an insanely successful first day, the founders of Cousin's Main Lobster knew they had a cult classic on their hands, but what they didn't know was that some of those early customers were actually Shark Tank producers, not once, but twice. The producers tried to convince the two founders into going on the show, but every time they turned it down. And then eventually, Cousin's Main Lobster appeared on Season 4 of Shark Tank. Despite disclosing a deal with Barbara Cochran, they have been able to expand into over 50 trucks and locations across 24 states. In today's episode, we chat with Sabin, the co-founder of Cousin's Main Lobster, about how this crazy journey all started over a round of drinks, how the relationship with Barbara has evolved over the years, and the beauty that comes with introducing people to Lobster for the very first time. He called me and I said, man, you're out here. We got to hang out. So I took him out to Katana. You know, this is like, well, it's the 12 years now, 12 years ago, and we got hammered. And we were sitting out there and, you know, we're just drink after drink after drink. And we realized kind of throughout the night how much we missed each other. You know, we grew up together and we hadn't seen each other in years, one of those things. And my grandfather had just passed away. We were talking about family and life and, you know, food and all that kind of stuff. And we both were doing kind of entrepreneurial based jobs. We sold medical devices and I sold real estate.   You know, and then we're like, what would we do? This is a great story. And then it was like, man, what about Lobster? Fuck, young Lobster. Yeah. OK, that makes sense. Let's do it. You know, because that's what we grew up with. And me and when you grew up where we're from, it's kind of always there. It's accessible. Totally. Thanksgiving or a summer barbecue, someone has Lobster. So like, we came up with it that night. And then the next day he flew home, I thought it was a terrible idea. We were hungover. Like, you know, nothing sounds as good when you're drunk. And then he called like two weeks later and then he just kept sending Excel sheet after Excel sheet. And he's like, what if we do this? What if we do this? We only need to sell 37 a day to break even like lobster rolls, lobster rolls. And so they eventually said yes, because he was so annoying, he just wouldn't leave me alone. I was like, this guy's persistent. He played D1 hockey. He's a competitor. He's not going to let this fail. So we agreed. Like I was going to be on the West Coast. I was going to oversee the truck. He was going to ship the product. Hopefully we break even. That was the goal. The goal was to break even. How quickly they're after doing it, buying a truck? Probably like six months later. Yeah. So we worked on the idea and, you know, we leisurely it was there was no urgency. And what does the truck need exactly is just like refrigeration, depends on what you're doing. But for us, it was refrigeration, a couple of fryers, a flat top grill, some soup wells, pretty easy. And again, we knowing now what we have as opposed to what that was, you know, our trucks now are ridiculous. And so then your first step is you decide to do it. You have a menu. It's simple. I imagine. Easy items. We're in a one bedroom here on King's Road in West Hollywood. OK. We're in my kitchen. Yeah. We're literally on my stove top, cooking up rolls, being like, yeah, yeah, you like this one. All right, cool. This is what we'll do. Yeah, you want to do this one? No, I don't like the, all right, cool. Let's do that. So you had like seven items. Menu creation done. We literally had no idea what we were doing. We didn't tell anyone we were doing it. So we waited about a year before we told anyone. What year is this, by the way? This is 20, well, 2011. We worked on it. We launched in April, 2012. So almost like pre, definitely pre-Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. Twitter was kind of around early social days. And we just, you know, we didn't tell our families. We didn't want to have any like naysayers. We didn't want to have any negativity because, you know, like. You're protecting it. You're protecting it.   I might ask you more questions. Yeah. And then I might be like, shit, maybe it's not that good of an idea. Yeah.  So, so we didn't do that. That's actually smart. You protected your mindset there. Yeah. Yeah. We, we ended up opening, I put out a tweet. You know, we probably had like, I don't know, 27 Twitter followers at the time, but it was a photo of me, Jimmy, and my grandfather on the rocks in Maine. I said, if you want to get fresh, Maine lobster, come here tonight.  We didn't have PR. I didn't even know what PR was at the time.  Go see these cousins. They're from Maine. And then. Where did you do it? Where was your first spot? We were in the Portuguese food hall, you know, in South Bay, just some random location. And again, we're hoping to do like 30, 40 rolls. We opened the window and there was a line of like 60, 70 people. And I knew literally at that moment I turned in, I was like, yo, this is going to be big. Like this is going to be big. And I was like, you can't leave because he was supposed to go back to Boston. Yeah. You can't leave. You can't go. And you sold out. I imagine. You sold out. We were, I mean, we made like six grand in cash, six grand in sales. We came home that night to my one bedroom. We're on the coffee table, counting cash like, what, what just happened?  That's amazing. And then we got an email from Shark Tank that night. And they reached out to about 20 entrepreneurs every year. That's crazy. Like, hey, would you ever consider going on the show? So a tweet, urban daddy. And then boom. And then one of those Shark Tank. And they're like, we like the idea. We think you guys would be great. Two months later, we're on Shark Tank, partner with Barbara Corcoran.   That's unbelievable. Okay. So when you were offered, so at this point you're almost like, you didn't tell anybody you're saying, right? You protected the idea a little bit. You have success the first day. While you're in the transition of like applying to Shark Tank, are you starting to tell people now? Are you like, all right. Tell people about what? Like your friends. No, no. Before we opened. Okay. We told everyone before we opened. And was the hard part figuring out the sourcing or did you guys have that like nail bend? No, everything was hard. We had no idea what we were doing. Everything. I mean, and again, it wasn't really hard. It was more just like we were winging it, you know, knowing what we know now. But we were going off of like our gut for everything.  That's, I think that's the secret, honestly. Like when I think about everything I'm doing, I'm definitely in over my skis all the time. Yeah. But somehow it's like there's control in that. And then you figure out like that's the only way to do it, actually.  You can't, you're not going to have it figured out. If you play logic, you won't do it. It's not logical to do these ventures. Correct. Then it's like addicting. Then you're like, oh, that's dope. Yeah.  Like I manifested that thing. Wait a second.  And then it's like gasoline on a fire for people like us, right? For you. 100%. So you go when you get in over your skis, but then you do something and you do it well. You mess up and you still do it well. Yeah. And you're like, wait a second. I can do that. And then that's like, goodbye. I just watched the movie Air and on it, they get like the Tenants of Nike. I think number six or something was like, results are perfect. The process will never be perfect. Just keep moving. Something like that. And I was like, that's exactly it. Correct. That's exactly the thing.  You guys were going to go on Shark Tank. Did you, did you realize how big the show was? No, I didn't even know what, what the show, I didn't even never heard it. Cause it's your two months into this entrepreneurship journey. So it's early. It's also 2012. So Shark Tank was in it. So I think we were on season four, I think. So they were only on three seasons. They weren't that big. I don't really watch reality TV. I watch sports. So I had no idea. Jimmy knew. So did you guys rehearse a bunch? Were you, were you not nervous at all? Cause we didn't really know. Yeah. No, we rehearsed. That's the one thing we did the best. We, we watched like 50 episodes. We had index cards and we wrote down questions cause we realized the sharks at that time, especially all said the same questions. So Damon would say this and Barbara would say this and Mark would say this. So we just flipped on the other side and we just wrote our answers. And then we quiz each other in my, again in my one bedroom. So I'd stand up and I'd pretend to be Kevin O'Leary and I'd say, Hey, you know, you know, I don't like the valuation or be Damon and Mark about the sourcing or whatever. And so we, we just grilled them. We'd go on runs in the neighborhood, we'd get our heart rate up and we'd be answering them. We'd stand in the mirror. He'd answer questions while I'm trying to mess with them.  And so I kind of like had brought some things into try and mess with Jimmy, especially when the lights came on. We weren't scared. That's so smart. Low and behold. Like creating special environments. Yeah.  And he'd be sitting there continuing with his pitch, continuing with his pitch. And we did well. We wanted to represent state of Maine. Well, we wanted to, you know, we didn't want to come off as like cocky or egotistical. That was like the biggest thing. And we wanted to deal. We wanted to deal with Barbara. You wanted to deal with Barbara the whole time. Yeah. We wanted to deal with Barbara. And so you go and ask him for 55,000 for what, 10%, 15% percent? 15%. No. We asked for 5%. We settled for like 15. Okay. I just love it how they're all asking you how you got to that valuation. And I'm like, I'm watching. I'm like, these guys don't. It's so early. It's so, it's too, you know, so we were just doing the math. We'd done 150,000 in sales for the first two months or like, oh, it's probably a million dollar business. So there you go. Yeah. You know, and. And one truck. It scales quickly. Yeah. And in hindsight, it's a steal, right? Because. Totally. Like it's. Why do you think Barbara liked you? Why do you? What was it about you guys that, because she seemed like she just really, there was something about her that connected with you guys personally. Yeah. I think she likes people that I think she, she didn't think we were bullshitting.  I think she, she liked the idea. She knew she could help from like a branding standpoint. I think that's it. I mean, and I think she's in love with me too. So there's, there's also that. Yeah. Yeah. She wants you. Yeah. And she, I mean, and she's still involved in the business. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's as involved as we want her to be. After you guys closed, how quickly did it actually materialize after? Or was it, was it quick? Because sometimes the DD process. Ours was quick. Yeah. We had everything dialed in. And then was she more interested? Was she like, okay, cool. Like I see the levers here. Let's do XYZ. Let's open up a storefront. No. She was more, she again, she was more, she's more like following our beat. So she was like, well, what do you guys want to do? We want another truck. Get another truck. And we got two trucks. We got three trucks. We got four trucks. And that's when she was like, you guys need to franchise. And I was like, what's franchise? I literally, that was, what does that mean? When, how quickly after you go on, like how many trucks do you guys have out there when the show airs? Two. Maybe we just got the second one maybe. And what, tell me what happens then. Oh, it was just, it was already ridiculous. It was already insane and it just doubled. We doubled our sales. Everything doubled. But we were already like everywhere we went was like mile long lines. And you always considered that the food trucks are so great because they're quick. They're affordable. Correct. The startup costs aren't that high. You can rent them out if you, if you want to. And so there's like, it's a lower risk option. At what point do you guys start thinking, let's go to a storefront? Pretty soon. Okay. And it was a mistake. Yeah. Why? Well, the first one we went to is we went and did like a pop-up somewhere where he did like a shared space. And it was a nightmare because it was a co-branded space and we didn't realize how important individual branding and, you know, that whole vibe was we're like, oh, shit, we'll serve it in this bar. It's great. We have our logo on the menu. Boom. But people were confused. Yeah. You know, like, I don't get it. I thought I was coming to your place. Not a bar.  Most of the times we don't listen to her truthfully.  We eventually opened a location here on Santa Monica in West Hollywood. We were, we were there for about eight years and we did it ourselves. The Trader Joe's over there. Yeah. Exactly. I used to go there at night for a lobster bisque. There you go. This is years ago. Cool. Yeah. Cause it was like, we lived in West Hollywood also. What didn't you like about the retail environment in that setting and like the brick and mortar? I didn't like it. I was enamored with it. Like I thought it was awesome and everyone wants to say they own a restaurant, but that's like ego. That's true. Everyone's ego is like, I own a place. It's a vanity place. I own a restaurant, not a food truck. I own a restaurant. You know, it's like it's so much more sexy. But the truth is, is like it's way more risky. It doesn't necessarily make more money. It depends on the location. Like we have some in our system that crank, but for the most part our food trucks are the breadwinners. They do massive sales and you can go to the market and you can serve and make tons of dough and leave and go home. It's that simple. You don't have to pay rent and be stuck in a single location. Our food also, in my opinion, it's the flexibility of the truck that was. It's flexibility. It's the ability to like go serve different people, to always be mobile, to not always be on. And I think like depending on your food, our food doesn't necessarily do well when oversaturated. Lobster isn't an everyday food. It's not an every every week food, you know. So depending on your neighborhood, unless you have tons of turnover and tons of tourists, you know, people get tired of it. And it's also not as exciting. When we come and we bring our food truck, it's exciting. It's exciting. They're here. They're here. Let's go. Let's go. And then when we take it away like damn, when are they coming back? Right. Not for two weeks. Damn. How long did it take you to figure out the franchise model? We're still figuring it out. Yeah. It's hard. I mean, we're about eight years in or seven years in, seven, eight years. It took us a good four or five years before. When I say figure it out, it means like being comfortable with your rules and what you stand for. I mean, we figured it out right away because we, but you don't know what you don't know. You don't know if your ideas are right. You don't know if like your vision is going to work.  Yeah, exactly. And how do we make these people money? How do you empower them? And how do we empower? How do we make them buy in? How do we make them care? They just want to make money. And so when you guys do that, what do you offer? What do you provide? What is the franchisee doing? We provide an amazing support system training. We train in Maine. We bring them on boats. They catch lobsters before they open. They come. We do on training here in Los Angeles. We go to their location. We do training there. Our team is amazing. Our staff is amazing. They're always supportive. Everything. We can name any aspect of the business. We have a staff member that's like dedicated and ready to help and we care, right? We had thousands of leads initially for franchises and we sold 10 because we wanted to figure out what we were doing before we like made money and we've never made moves for money. That's the one thing we never have done. We've never like sold out to make more money and we've never like made this decision for money ever. And by doing that, we've always made more money, you know? Because I think when people cut, yeah, when people cut corners and they're like, if I do this, I'll make some more cash, you will in the beginning, but not in the end. Yeah, it doesn't work. Have you ever thought about branching out like where the business is today? Do you does anything that you're going on like branching out to different food topics or different food trucks? Because to some extent you've you figured out a lot, right? You figured out food trucks work. Obviously the lobsters work. But is there another food item that you're passionate about? You know what I'm saying? Like, because you know the game now from a different lens, right? Before it was like, I just want to get lobster in the hands of so many. Now the game is like, I've actually created this business where I know the levers for growth and can we just swap out? Maybe it's not lobster. Maybe it's something else. Yeah. Truthfully, for me, no. The reason why is I just know how hard the business is and I feel like we hit a good spot and I don't think I'm good enough or knowledgeable enough to hit another spot like that. I mean, I think about it with my buddies where I was like, yeah, let's open a pizza place, you know, let's open burgers, you know, like as I love that kind of food. But I'm comfortable staying in my lane, being the best. I think I'm the best. I think we are the best. Staying in our lane and getting better and still learning. There's so much to learn in a business, right? So I'm comfortable with that. I mean, of course we flirt with the ideas all the time, but we're branching out. You know, we have an e-commerce business. You guys make lobster case ideas now, too. Yeah, we have. Yeah. So there you go. We have a little bit of some diversity. Yeah. I was just at a birthday party, a friend of mine. She was the former CEO of IMAX. Yeah. And so she had she had a truck. She had ours? Yeah. Oh, cool. Hell yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. She's an East Coaster also. So obviously she's from. She's from Long Island. That's the Long Island. Yeah. But then she went to she lived in Boston for a little while. That's the coolest thing is like finding all these East Coast transplants that are out here or people that just like our food. Like, you know, we've we've done a lot of cool people. And it's it's it's a it's always I mean, it makes us feel good. I believe because our food is a nostalgic taste. It's a very much like a taste of home. So when people like it and they get that feeling, it makes you feel makes you feel good during COVID for me personally. It was so I grew up in Massachusetts. My wife's from the Cape also. And so we would eat lobster rolls during COVID. And it was like a thing of like a reminder of home. And there was a real nostalgia to that. And I don't think people really understood it because it's like we couldn't fly home. We couldn't or we could, but it would just be annoying or there's all these risks. And so it was just like driving to a place to have a lobster roll was was the moment. And it was really special. It was really cool. It was celebratory point. Yeah. And like freeing during COVID. It was like that's the thing. It was like we felt free. It was weird. We did well with COVID for that. I mean, for the A, because we could still serve, you know, but but B, because people wanted a reason to be happy and they wanted to they wanted to feel like they could still treat themselves to something just like what you're describing. And that's that's our food. Yeah. Where's the business today? Business is cranking. We've got about 50 food trucks, 10 restaurants, something along those lines. We have a good amount in queue, very happy franchisees, happy corporate staff. We're growing, you know, we're in a growth mode right now where you guys raise capital after Shark Tank. No, no. OK, no. Any plan? How big do you want to grow this? Do you want to sell this one day? I don't know. Is it already beyond your wild? If you go back to the conversation of you and Jimmy at the bar, yeah, is it already just the craziest story?  You know, and then and where we are now is unheard of for for us, because we didn't we didn't even know it existed. These opportunities, you know, I think nowadays for kids, young adults that watch Shark Tank, this is just a different day in age. I'm 42. When I was in school, people didn't talk about owning your own business. People didn't say you could do this. I had no clue, you know, personally that you could do things like this. So I had no knowledge of what my expectations could be or should be. So when as it's unfolded and as we went from this to this to this, to this mouse, to that mouse, to where it is right now, it's it's unfathomable for us because I didn't even know it existed. It's a, you know, so that's something we when we talked to Mindy, it was the same thing. She was talking about when the when the show first came about entrepreneurship was still like a dirty word to some extent. Like you had to be kind of crazy, you know, everyone was on nine to five, which makes sense logically, right? It's like a safe thing to do. And so for you to go on your own is kind of crazy. And then for the show to do so well and she was saying how like today you can go to school, major in entrepreneurship until the world has changed and it's almost like a safer space. Still hard, but safer. We do stuff all the time for kids, like a teacher will reach out to us and be like, hey, my class is doing a thing on Shark Tank and they want to present their pitches. Would you be interested in judging? You know, if there were a fifth grade class in in Michigan, like, yeah, let's do it, you know, so we'll we'll zoom with the class.  So they're starting at that age, you know, which is cool. So I mean, I think like we're opening children's minds up and it's not only about making money. Most most of the time they're like, hey, I want to do this because it's it's important to me. You know, I want to get fresh water to Africa. I want to do these types of things like, dude, these kids are thinking like that. You know, when I was in sixth grade, what was I thinking about? So it's really impressive. That's true.  Will the world ever run out of lobster? No. OK, it's impossible. No, we I mean, that main lobster. What about fishermen? Is that the hard part? What's the hard part of like the supply? Well, we are a sustainable lobster fishery in Maine. So, you know, there's measures in place so that doesn't happen. So you don't overfish and other areas. You know, yeah, you might. The hard part for us, the most important part is just maintaining consistency. So we would never sacrifice quantity, sacrifice quality for quantity ever. So, you know, this isn't a trinket. It's not we always say it's not a mass produced burger or a toy or something that you can just order 10 more million of. So there isn't there's a limit. There's a limit for us. There's a limit for everyone. I don't know what that is. And we're not necessarily trying to, you know, make this every day mom and pop or every day like McDonald's or something. Sure. Has that ever been like I'm sure you've got an email or two about about that concept, though, about somebody saying, Hey, we should do this like McDonald's. Yeah, we could email. So yeah, we could create all kinds of stuff. Does your mind ever go maybe? No. And we were in the beginning. We used to entertain stuff like this, because again, we didn't know any better.  Yeah, let's go. What do you think? And again, ego, our egos, especially as young men, it's exciting to hear things like this. It's exciting to be like, oh, we could be in a pop up restaurant. Those things are exciting. But now we're not, you know, we're older. We've we've been through the trenches and our egos are we've been humbled. More than anything, we've been humbled. That's honest. When I started my first company, people were like, oh, why'd you start it? And I'm like, because I went to school for civil engineering. And when I'm in Boston at a bar telling girl I went to school for civil engineering, she doesn't care. The conversation's over. Yeah. But if I tell her I have this company, this is what I do. Yeah. She's willing to talk to me for the next 10 minutes. Like, that's it. That's why I started the company, right? Which I think is honest. Like, it's like we're at the end of the day, men. We're trying to, you know, procreate and whatever. Hell yeah. Like, and it's true. And that's what kind of got me an entrepreneurship, I think. And then I saw it and I was like, oh, it's cool. And then I just fell in love with the business. And the thing, the thing we were talking about earlier, like living over your skis is like an addiction to me now. And now we're just trying to find a crank. What's on deck? Anything new? Anything you're releasing? Anything you're working on? What's on deck for us? I mean, we have just more units opening, new cities. We just brought on a new person for growth specifically, which is the first time we've ever done it. Like a COO or like, no, for franchise sales. We've never done that. Most of our leads and calls have been, I'd say, 95% inbound or internal growth. So someone saw our truck and they called or our current franchisee wants to grow somewhere else. We just brought someone in actually to actually procure more leads into target specific markets. If someone wants to do that, what's the cost? Can you give people like a window into what's the process? Is there an application process? What's the cost? Yeah, they have to go online. They submit something. The franchise fees, $38,500. But there's there's other costs associated, like, you know, whether you want to buy a truck or a restaurant, there's build out costs associated with that. You know, our trucks right now are around $250,000. They're sexy. They're really nice. I was going to say that's amazing. Yeah, they're amazing. What we do, I just think is incredibly special. We really, really do something special. Do you have a favorite location or like a destination you want to be in? We've talked about Maui. We've talked about Maui, but and that's just because I like to surf and I love Maui. But I don't know, man, like, you know, I'm surprised, truthfully, like if I told you like our best regions, there are some of them are just these small elbow cities. You know, we do well in Oklahoma City. We do really well in Columbus. We do really well in Pittsburgh. Why do you think that is? Are you finding like the East Coasters in Oklahoma City? I just think it's because we're bringing something somewhere that they've never had and it's not accessible and it didn't exist. Kind of like what happened here in LA. It just wasn't there. So like we're bringing something and I also think there's an amount of appreciation from people in those areas. They're like, hey, thanks for coming. Thanks for we'll drive and I say Columbus. So let's say we're in Columbus. We'll drive an hour, hour and a half out of Columbus, the middle of nowhere, like nowhere, but we'll advertise on Facebook, tell people we're going there to so-and-so's wine shop or bike, bike shop or whatever and we'll show up and, you know, they'll do 20 grand in sales. And the people there are like, dude, thank you so much for coming, you know, this is awesome. This is exciting. It's a treat. This is cool.  That's really, really cool. And we're excited because we're in a market servicing areas that we never would have gone to. Again, think of a brick and mortar. You can't pick them up and leave. You would have never left downtown Columbus to go out there. Right. So it's cool. I just love the feeling of it that you're talking about. Like I really believe it, you know. It's like you're giving somebody a window into something so special. 100%. And that just happens to be a business for you, which is epic. I mean, that's such a good, it's amazing. That's rare, you know what I mean? And it was so cool. And it wasn't planned and it wasn't, we had no idea. So as we've, as the business has unfolded, we've realized just that, just what you're describing, but we didn't, we're not smart enough to know that. Like we were like, let's just do this. And we had no clue if people, how many people out here were from the East Coast or how many people felt the same way that we do about lobster or felt the same way that we do about family and all those things. So like when you're talking about your bites, it's not just food, it's like, our food has like family and taste and summertime and you know, beach and salty air, like all that stuff is wrapped into that.   So they remember their kids. But it's not like a burger.  That's the difference. I really love that. How's the relationship today with Barbara? Amazing. Yeah, still. You're not married to her though. Not yet. Well, my wife doesn't know about dinner. Now we, she's like family. We're 10, 11 years in, right? She's family to us. So we talk to her mostly about personal stuff, not even really about business stuff.   Like it's not, it's much more now about personal life than business. Yeah, she's the real deal. They all are.  We've met them all. Damon was the first person in line at our restaurant and I did it opened and we had no clue. I thought that was so cool, by the way, that they all showed up for you. I was still in the shower. My cousin called. He said, go, Damon's here. I was like, dude, come on. I was like, seriously, get down here. That's amazing. Cousin's lobster. Go check it out.

Hello it's Missy! Thank you for watching! Today's video is three low bun hairstyles. Comment down below if you have a favorite. I'm not going to say which one is mine until the end of the video, so if you're curious, stay tuned. If you're new to my channel, subscribe, click that bell, then you'll never miss any future videos and let's get started! For the first hairstyle, I'm going to begin with my hair parted on the right side. Then I'm going to divide out a section of hair on the left side of my head from the part down to my ear. I'm going to clip this hair aside to use for the braid later on.  Then I'm going to go back over the crown section and gently pinch and pull on small pieces of hair to loosen them and this will create some volume and dimension in the crown section. Now I'm going to create the bun portion of the hairstyle, so I'm first dividing out a few pieces of hair to frame my face on the right side and then I'm going to combine the remaining hair together at the nape of my neck.  So I'm going to split the ponytail into two equal sections. Then I'm going to cross the left section over the right while also twisting the two sections towards the left side and I'm going to continue this pattern working down to the ends of the hair and then once the whole section is twisted up, I'm going to wrap this twist into the bun so I'm going to wrap it clockwise around the base of the ponytail so it creates the shape of the bun and then using bobby pins I'm going to pin the hair in place. So I'm going to slide them into the hair so it secures the twist against my head and I like to slide these in towards the center of the bun so they stay hidden underneath the hair and I just put one in wherever I'm holding the hair with my fingers. So I just work my way around the bun pinning it wherever it feels loose and then with the ends I'm going to tuck them under the bun and pin them in place using another bobby pin. Now I'm going to create the braid portion of the hairstyle so I'm going to let down the hair on the left side of my head and divide off a small section near the part to begin my braid. I'm creating a fishtail braid so I'm going to start the braid like a regular three strand braid by crossing the two side strands once over the middle strand. Then by combining two of the strands together I can switch to a fishtail braid so I'm essentially taking small pieces from one side and crossing them over and combining them into the opposite side section. I'm also going to be incorporating new sections of hair into the bottom side of the braid to create a lace style braid. This type of braid will give the hairstyle an overall softer look so to create the fishtail braid I'm crossing small sections of hair from one side over to the opposite side while also picking up new sections of hair from underneath the bottom of the braid and crossing these over the top adding them into the top or right section of the braid. So I'm taking a small piece from the right side and crossing it over to the left. I'm taking a small piece from the left side crossing it over to the right picking up a new section of hair and crossing it over to the right side as well. I'm taking a small piece from the right side and crossing it over to the left. I'm taking a small piece from the left side and crossing it over to the right while also picking up a new section of hair from the bottom side of the braid and crossing it over adding it into the right side as well and I'm going to create the braid along the left side of my head and as I am braiding I'm also going to make sure to leave out small sections of hair along the hairline to frame my face once the style is done. So I'm continuing the lace style fishtail braid working my way along the left side of my head until I've brought in all of the hair that I want to on this side. Then once that's done I'm simply going to continue braiding the fishtail braid a little further down by crossing small sections of hair from one side over to the opposite side to ensure the braid will reach around the back of my head so I can pin it above the bun at the back. So once the braid reaches far enough I'm going to bring it around the back of my head and lay it above the top of the bun. Then I'm going to fold it under and pin it in place using bobby pins. Again I like to pin the braid from the right side and I also like to slide them underneath the hair so they don't stick out and show. Then I can kind of go back over the braid and gently pull on the edges to make the braid look a little bit wider so it's easier to see and I'm also going to just make sure to pin down any ends that are still sticking out with some bobby pins. For the next hairstyle I'm going to begin by designing how I want the style to look from the front and this will help me decide where I want my braids to be.  So I'm dividing the section into three smaller pieces and I'm crossing the side strands under the middle strand alternating between the left and the right side pieces and you can either cross the side sections over the middle or under the middle. I like the way the beginning of the braid looks when it's crossed under so that's why I'm doing it this way and I'm just going to repeat the steps crossing the side strands under the middle strand working my way down to the bottom and once the braid reaches close enough to the ends I'm going to take a comb and back comb the bottom of the braid upwards. This will kind of tangle the hair a little bit so the braid doesn't unravel and then I won't need to use any elastic bands to tie off the end of the braid. Next I want a braid at the back of my head and I'm going to repeat the same steps as before and braid this into a regular three strand braid and then of course once the braid reaches near the ends I'm going to gently back comb the bottom of the braid so it doesn't unravel and now I'm going to create a third braid on the right side of my head so again I'm dividing off a small section of hair and I'm going to braid this into another three strand braid crossing the side strands over the middle strand alternating between the left and the right side strands and then I'm going to gently back comb the bottom of the braid so it doesn't unravel.   Once all of the braids are done I'm going to divide off the top section of my head to be pinned as the crown section and I'm going to twist the section together towards the left side and then slide my pin in horizontally from the left side and I like to just hook a bit of hair on the right side and then bring the pin over the top and push it in from the left to help hold the hair in place without the bobby pin showing and then I usually slip in a second bobby pin just to make sure the section doesn't fall loose.  I want to make sure to tie off the hair right underneath the crown section so when I do my bun it will sit right where I want it to and this will make it a little bit more flush with the crown section but now with my ponytail I'm going to braid this into another three strand braid so I'm dividing the hair into three equal sections and I'm going to cross the side strands over the middle strand so I'm crossing the left strand over the middle then crossing the right strand over the middle and I'm going to continue this pattern until the braid reaches down near the bottom of the hair and then once the braid reaches down low enough that the hair is getting too short to braid I'm going to wrap it into the bun so I'm going to take the braid and wrap it over the hair band towards the right side and I want to make sure to lay the braid flat over the hair band so you can see the pattern of the braid and then I'm going to continue wrapping the ends around the hair band so they tuck underneath the bun at the nape of my neck under the hair band and now I need to pin the bun in place and I like to hook a bit of hair in the bobby pin and then push it in towards the center of the bun so it's against my head I usually begin with a pin on the right side then one underneath and then one on the left side and then I'll work my way around again re-pinning wherever the bun feels like it needs a little bit more support I really love how this hairstyle turned out I feel like this bun looks a lot more complicated than it actually was so I hope you'll try this out let me know in the comment section what you think about this hairstyle for the third hairstyle I'm going to begin by dividing my hair into two sections a left side and a right side I'm going to create a zigzag part line down the center of the back of my head and this will just make hiding that part line a little bit easier so once I've divided my hair into two sections I'm going to tie off the right side to start with the left so I'm going to divide out a few small pieces to frame my face and then pick up a section on the left side of the part for the braid I'm creating a french braid again so I'm crossing the side strands over the middle strand then I'm going to begin incorporating new sections into the braid so I'm crossing the other side over the middle picking up a new section of hair and crossing it over the middle strand as well and I'm going to repeat this pattern crossing the side strands over the middle strand while also bringing in new sections of hair and incorporating them into the braid and I'm going to continue the braid down this side of my head so I'm alternating between crossing each side strand over the middle strand while also incorporating new sections of hair into the braid and I'm going to repeat this pattern continuing the braid along this side of my head once the braid reaches the nape of my neck I'm going to combine it all together and then tie it off using a clear elastic band now I'm going to repeat the exact same steps with the hair on the right side of my head so I'm dividing off a section near the part line and dividing it into three smaller pieces and I'm going to cross the side strands over the middle strand and then I'm going to begin incorporating new sections of hair into the braid so I'm crossing one side over the middle picking up a new section of hair and bringing it into the braid then i'm crossing the other side strand over the middle picking up a new section of hair and crossing it over the middle strand bringing it into the braid as well and I'm just going to repeat this process continuing the braid along this side of my head. I'm alternating between crossing the side strands over the middle strand while bringing in new sections of hair from both the part line at the back of my head and the hairline until all of the hair is brought into the braid or at least until the braid reaches the nape of my neck and then I'm going to combine all of the hair together and tie it off using a clear elastic band.  I'm going to take the ends and I'm going to divide them into two equal sections and then wrap each one over the top of the bun crossing them at the top and then wrap them back down so they're underneath the loop. I'm going to take a clear elastic band and tie the two ends together underneath the bun. I think out of all of the styles this one is my favorite. I just think it's such a cute look with the double braids and the messy bun. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video. Comment down below which of the three you liked the best.

Welcome to day three of Brugmas. In this video, I'm gonna be going over Backroom's level 54, and you better get ready to do some cardio workouts because this level takes place on staircases, infinite staircases, that is. Thanks for clicking on the video without any more talking. Let's get into it, shall we? So Backroom's level 54 is classified as a class two difficulty and is generally unsafe, but it has a low insta-count, so it'll be all right. The most dangerous thing here is yourself because you could go insane if you aren't careful.  The actual chairs can change in appearance, the further you go down them, so the colors and patterns can change slowly, but overall, they just look like old staircases. The walls at the start are a weird blue color and they're old and peeling and it just gets worse and worse and more wet the further down you go. There's black mold in the corners of the stairwells and the walls and the entire place is just damp and grody, man. There are also cracks in the walls that water drips through and everything here is just old and decaying and the very air you smell smells like rotting wood and dust, so it's all gross. The stairs themselves are all wooden and of course they're gonna be decaying and breaking and rotting, so just be careful when you're walking and stepping down so you don't just fall down a bunch of flights of stairs. Now sometimes you can be walking down these infinite stairs and you'll see a door on a landing area. If you open that door, you'll either walk to another staircase or you'll walk into a hallway that leads to more staircases. If you do run across a hallway like that, then there's a pretty good chance there'll be a room or two on the left or right side of it that you can get to. Now these rooms are pretty empty and they usually have a random table or bed or something in them and they're all rotting and woody and moldy and everything's just gross just like the rest of the level, man, which leads us to believe that all the stairs and hallways and doors are in the same building since it's all the same type of decay. But if that's the case, then the building would have to be infinitely huge, so who knows? Now besides those weird things, the level has a few more strange quirks and it's that everything here is a shade of blue for some reason. Like the walls are blue. The lighting in the hallways is blue. There's a random blue orb that's been seen floating down the staircase that drips water. It's only been photographed once and this is the only picture we have, but the person that took this picture says that they just felt weird by this orb, but everything's blue. We don't know why. Let me know in the comments why you think everything's blue. Some of the rooms and the staircases will actually have a window looking outside. Now some of those windows are actually thought to be entity two or window entities, but the ones that are not usually have a weird environment outside of them. Specifically, they have a deep blue ocean right outside the window that you're looking down on and this blue ocean cast a blue glow into the stairs. Shocking, everything's literally blue. It's also pretty weird that this building is just by itself in the middle of an ocean. That's strange. If you walk down these stairs far enough, then you're likely to go to a connector hallway or room or set of stairs itself that's full of water and it's often said that if you're near these waters, a person can hear strange whispering noises. So that's not fun. Mostly the level is safe from entities, but if you do run into one, it's probably gonna be a smiler, hound or a skin stealer. Although there's been one that's really not common in the back rooms, but it's a camo crawler and it's actually a pretty old entity, but they're very rare, but they do live here and they're big multi-armed humanoids that can climb up walls and stuff and camouflage themselves to match the colors and textures. They hide in the corners and stalk their prey and jump on them when they're least expecting. So that's another thing you gotta look out for. There's also been a strange crab entity that's been seen walking up the staircases. So I don't know about that. That's strange. To enter this level, you have to be on level 42 and somehow no clip here or you can go deep into a hallway on level 17, no clip and be sent here as well. And to exit, you're pretty lucky because it's fairly easy. You just have to find a door on the stairway and then just no clip into it to be sent to one of the first six levels. Check out the full level page in the description below for all the exits because there's a ton of them. But yeah, a level that's made out of infinitely connecting staircases and decaying wooden hallways and decaying wooden rooms too. It's like a big game of shoots and ladders except there's no ladders, there's stairs. You know what I mean. That's it for the video. Thank you so much for watching. Hope y'all are getting excited for Christmas because it's getting closer. As you know, I just released a merch. So if you want some merch for Broogly, check the top link in the description.

Herbert Marshall as the man called X, wherever there is mystery, intrigue, romance in all the strange and dangerous places of the world, there you will find the man called X. Here is something you should know if you ever suffer from the sudden pain of headaches, neuritis, or neuralgia. It is a way to ease the pain often within a few minutes. A way that is incredibly fast and effective. It's anisone. Anisone is like a doctor's prescription. That is, anisone contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients in easy-to-take tablet form. Thousands of people were first introduced to anisone through their own physicians or dentists. But today, these tablets are in such widespread use that all drug counters have them, and anyone may enjoy their benefits. Next time you suffer from the pains of a headache, neuritis, or neuralgia, by all means try anisone. You'll like the convenience of anisone tablets, and you'll be delighted with anisone's incredibly fast action. A-N-A-C-I-N. Anisone. Ask for anisone by name today at your drugists. In the middle of Asia, astride the highest Himalayas lies the secret land of Tibet. For centuries, its capital, Lhasa, has been the Forbidden City. Its lamasaries secure in their mountain fastness. But now terror has begun to creep down the caravan route past Gartech and Darjeeling, and brought with it a small cylindrical object that has found its way to the offices of the Bureau in New York City. Hmm. A Tibetan prayer wheel. Can. Small, but a pretty good specimen. Didn't know you were a collector, Chief. I'm not. I just thought you might like to read that strip of paper inside of it. I'd like your opinion. You mind? Hmm. He who does not call for a light when the darkness surrounds him will fall into the well. Hmm. It's an old Buddhist proverb. Yeah. It was passed to one of our men by a curio dealer in Darjeeling, an Anglo-Indian woman who worked for the Allies during the war. Names Awani O'Hara. Believe it or not. Said she bought the prayer wheel from an old monk who said he had received it from Karai Lama himself. Karai Lama. Chief, remember reading about red agents infiltrating south into Tibet? Yes, can, of course. All right. Can mean only one thing. They're trying to move in on the Lama's government. Trying to self-lift up so the puppet pooks from the east can take over without a fight. It's an old trick of theirs. Yeah, there's no way of making sure, Ken. Westerners aren't even allowed inside the Patala Palace, you know. What's more, we can hardly interfere in the internal affairs of another power. Oh, we've said that before, Chief. In Romania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary. Look what happened. Besides, it's not just Tibet thereafter. The Karai Lama's a spiritual leader of half of Central Asia. Northern India, Bhutan, Mongolia, Manchuria. Yes, that's true. A few men it is. And if they can pressure him into swinging over to their side, we might as well give up any hope of keeping the iron curtain from dropping over the whole Orient. Ken, do you suppose that little proverb means the young Lama needs our help? Could be, Chief. But what can we do about it? Send a Sherman tank across the Himalayas to bring him out? And how could a man get into Tibet these days, anyway? Same way the little prayer wheel got out. So long, Chief. But send your postcard. You would like maybe, Saif, to buy an elephant, souvenir of that jeweling? What? Card from ivory from the Mughal dynasty and made by the ancient craftsman from Mr. Rex. You got here. You made it. Oh, I can't believe it. Pagong, what are you doing here in Darjeeling? Mr. Therson, I'm a Rocky Mountain guide in business with my cousin, Kaiming Lu. Kaiming Lu? Well, he may not exactly be a cousin, but he has the Zelshmid nose. And probably the Zelshmid ethics. Thank you, Mr. Therson. Thank you. Say, how about a tour of the city? Nightlife, strange Oriental delights. Pagong, I'm looking for a lady. Well, why didn't you say so? Now there's a pretty little Petunia who dances at the Café Carracha. Her name is Madame Avani O'Hara. Avani O'Hara? Oh, sure. I know her very well. Yeah, she's a hostess at the Cobra Club or something. Just hail a rickshaw, Mr. Rex. She runs a curio shop. Oh, sure, sure. Yes, of course.    Here, Mr. Therson, you hold the elephants, will you? I'm sure I've got a map of the city right here. I'm Avani O'Hara. I am she. Oh, my name's Ken Thurston, Madame. I'm a hobbyist of sorts, and just now I'm interested in Tibetan prayer wheels. I was told you might be able to help me. I see. Prayer wheels. They're very rare now, you know. Good specimens are hardly ever removed from Tibet. Sorry, Mr. Thurston, but I'm afraid I haven't a single one in stock. Well, then probably you could tell me where I might find one. Quite possibly. What kind of prayer wheel were you interested in? A friend of mine in the States had one. I think he said it came from your shop. It was quite small, brass, I believe, in labor silver. I think that it would be best, Mr. Thurston, if you came back tonight. It's about eight o'clock. I may be able to give you the information you want then. Do you, um, you'll obtain this information in Darjeeling? I did not say that. No. If you'll excuse me, it's time for my nap. No, certainly. Madame Mohara, just one question. I heard a proverb the other day and wondered about its source. It goes, he who does not call for light when the darkness surrounds him will fall into the well, do you know it? No. No, I don't think I've ever heard it before. Good afternoon, young man. I found Madame Mohara's shop for you. It's right where you just... Oh, I guess you took a shortcut. You didn't buy nothing from the old witch? No. Why don't you tell me what you were looking for? Whatever it is, I can get a 10% discount. Thanks, Bagon, but I'm hunting for a genuine Tibetan prayer wheel. Oh, uh, hey, let's walk on the other side of the street, huh? Why? Well, this tall monk with the begging cup, he's been watching us. I think he's going to try to make a touch. The 32nd cousin of yours? I'm supposed to be hungry and homeless. Mr. Thershan, that's money you're giving him. Sub, I beg not for myself, but for those in need, for it is written that he who does not call for a light when the darkness surrounds him will fall into the well. Come on, Mr. Thershan, let's not overlaid this. No, wait, Bagon. That proverb, where'd you hear it? It is an old one in my country. It signifies only that men should aid one another in their quest through life. I heard you speak of a desire for a prayer wheel. Is it not so? Just where did you... Perhaps you may find what you seek at the monastery of Chai Zong, which is north 200 kilometers in Sikkim on the border of Tibet. Thanks, I may try that. But now, where did you... Oh, wait a minute. Excuse me. Sorry, sorry. Hey, what a disappearing act, eh? But don't worry, Mr. Thershan, if you're so sudden giving away money to needy people, there's always me. Funny. Shades, dawn, no lights. Madam O'Hara said eight o'clock, I wonder. Ah, maybe she flew away in her broomstick. Oh, why don't we come back when it's daylight? That side window's open, Pagon. Here, let me heist you up so you can take a look around inside our shop. But, Mr. X, I can't do that. I always get claustrophobia in the high priest's eyes. Up you go. Now, see anything? I don't see nobody around, Mr. Thershan. Oh, we're wasting our time. But that Madam O'Hara sure is a lousy housekeeper, going off and leaving all that broken crockery in the floor and everything all tipsy-topsy like... Mr. Thershan, come back! What did I say? Go leave me! Mr. Thershan, that's breaking and entering and it's, it's illegal. I think it's a long yellow sash around her neck. Been used as a garot, Pagon. Oh, well, in that case... Huh? Yeah, to choke her to death. Oh... Pagon, you think some of your disreputable friends here in Darjeeling could promote us a couple of monks' robes, the kind pilgrims were, and the caravan to Lhasa? Oh, sure, sure. Any color you like. Red, brown, plaid. Where are we going to Lhasa? We aren't yet. We're going to stop you at a monastery of Chidzong. What a joint. I've been in clings that are better than this. Pagon, a monk's cell is supposed to be all steer and simple. The lamas here at Chidzong seek comfort for the spirit, not the body. Here, have another cup of tea. Tea? You think somebody tell this character that bourbon's pretty good for the spirit, too? Come in. Mr. Thershan, look. Peace to you. I have been sent by Daosung, the patriarch of the lamasari, to bid you welcome. So a meeting outside O'vani will hire a shop. It wasn't entirely coincidence. What is coincidence? Perhaps only the workings of the mind of God. Perhaps. If you are free, Mr. Thershan, Daosung would like to extend his greetings in person. Why not? Pagon, you wait here. Oh, sure, sure, sure. This way, please. Daosung must not be kept waiting. I suppose you are somewhat surprised to see me here, Mr. Thershan. Not any more than I was at the way you disappeared in the crowd back at Darjeeling after suggesting that I come here. Wait, please. I thought you said we shouldn't keep Daosung waiting. That monk who stepped into the shadows at the head of the stairs. The one in the yellow robe? Yes, it is very odd. The members of our sect do not wear that color. He must be of a different order. He must be. Unless the members of your order carry guns. Oh, Mr. Thershan. Look, I'll get down. All right, come on. No, Mr. Thershan, wait. Wait, why wait? But he ran up to the inner courtyard. What difference does that make? It is hallowed ground. What? If you, an unbeliever, were to walk there, it would be desecrated, having to visit... All right, all right, he's gone now anyway. You sure you don't know who he was? Had I only been able to glimpse his face, but now, of course, there is no way to identify him. Unless, thou soon, as the ruler of our lamissary, can find a way to apprehend this evil one. Come, we must hurry and tell him of this most untoward occurrence. Yeah, if he doesn't know about it already. Mr. Thershan, I cannot apologize sufficiently. In these times, even the monastery is not always at peace without violence. So, I found out. Since you Americans prefer directness, I shall be direct. Until a few years ago, I was the tutor of the young Karai Lama. Peace be with him. Last month, I returned to Lhasa. I found the Lama surrounded by new advisors, men whom I did not know.  Alone, I could do nothing to help him escape, but with your help, I will make another pilgrimage to Lhasa. And with your help, we can bring the Karai Lama back with us, back to freedom. Freedom. These advisors you speak of, what do you know about them? Very little, but a friend more recently returned from Tibet knows more with your permission, I shall call him. Maishau. Baosong. I have been awaiting your summons. It is my wish, Maishau, that you speak with Mr. Thurston. Mr. Thurston. Yes, sir. And that you tell Mr. Thurston the things which have happened at Lhasa. Alas, our blessed Karai Lama is a virtual prisoner for another man has become the true ruler of Tibet, one whom they call the gold hat. Oh, just who is this gold hat? It is said that he was well educated in Russia then later in China. Unfortunately, his real name is not known nor his identity. Well, that's not much to go on. However, it is known that unlike the orders with which we are familiar, he wears a robe of yellow. Yellow. And a yellow hat. His followers affect a similar custom. I see. Baosong, what do you suggest? If Mr. Thurston should be willing to undertake the pilgrimage to Lhasa. How soon can we leave? First, we have to walk all the way here to Lhasa. And now that we finally get to this Lama palace, we have to crawl in our knees. Just be quiet and keep your head down. But I'm getting a creak in my neck. What's going on now? The Karai Lama is blessing Baosong. He's touching the old man's head with a tassel. Sounds like just a kid. I'll turn his necks. Now remember, crawl slowly and stay close behind me. Hey, what does he think it is? Halloween? The Karai Lama always wears a devil mask during these ceremonies.  Hang on. All night, one on this car. Your Highness, he who does not call for light when the darkness surrounds him will fall into the well. The top of the south stairway at midnight. So be it. What does the bell mean? Where is he going? The audience is over. Well, how do you like that? He didn't get around to me. Mr. Thurston. Oh, Your Highness. You are alone. That is good. This alcove, please. Let us waste no time. You have come a long way in answer to the summons in the prayer wheel. What do you propose? Plans have been made for you to join a native family traveling to the Indian frontier. From there, you'll be escorted to the monastery at Chai Zong and safety. This has all been arranged by you? Yes, by the aid of Dao Song. The caravan will leave at sunset tomorrow. Where is Dao Song now? He said something about returning to his lamissary. I see. Mr. Thurston, have you considered that it might have been a grave mistake for you to come here to Lhasa? Mistake? You see, you are now under arrest. Yeah. Yes, I see. And I shall be obliged to have you executed as a spy, Mr. X. We will continue with the man called X in just a moment. Here's a word from RCA Victor. A real-life mystery which puzzles people who own television sets is how in the world they ever lived without them. Without those puppet shows and Wild West sagas which keep little children fascinated while mothers getting dinner. Without those comedy programs which draw teenagers home like magnets. Without those sports events which so magically erase the day's cares from dad's face. And without those wonderful plays which make a woman see her own life in proportion. Why don't you make this a television Christmas for your family? Naturally, you will want RCA Victor Television, America's favorite, already proven in over a million homes. So early next week, see your RCA Victor dealer and choose from 18 beautiful new million-proof models, the RCA Victor masterpiece which will keep the cheerful contentment of Christmas alive at your house the whole year around. Now act two of the man called X starring Herbert Marshall with Leon Balasco as Pagans Elschmidt. Hello, Mr. Thurston. I've been expecting you. You've come to get me out of the clink, eh? Does it look like it, Pagans? Oh, well. Oh, welcome aboard, Mr. X. Say, you don't really think they're going to hang us, do you? No, Pagans. I know them. They're not. I knew they wouldn't dare to do that. No, in Tibet they execute by beheading. You mean... Oh, Mr. Thurston.  Quite. May show. Aha! So they got you too, eh? Hey, wait a minute. You're outside the bars, and we're inside. Yes, Mr. Elschmidt. Quite simple, Pagans. May show is the gold hat. Well, sure, but that's no reason... Huh? You seem very sure of that, Mr. Thurston. It all adds up, May show. The infiltration boys found out about the prayer wheel. But when they traced it to Darjeeling, it was already gone. So the gold hat moved in on Dao Song and stuck around to wait for us. I bow to your brilliance, Mr. Thurston. How sad that such a facile mind should serve the decadent capitalists of Wall Street. From whom you're planning to rescue the poor downtrodden Tibetans. And you are going to help me. Your execution will serve as an object lessen to those who would interfere in the internal affairs of my country. I see. But now that the Karai Lama's under your thumb, there'll be no one to stop you when the invaders have taken over. But I still don't understand why he should call for help, and then have us in prison. Yeah, the dirty no- It is very simple. The Great Lama has come to see that our way is the right one for Tibet. Maybe. It was pretty sudden, wasn't it? He gave that prayer wheel to his old tutor only two weeks ago. Yeah. And when we come to help him, he sticks us in the hole on the ground. I tell you that Karai Lama is no good Joe. Matter of fact, Pagon, I've been thinking exactly the same thing. Remember when he blessed Daro Song in the throne room? Sure. He touched him on the head with a gold tassel. The lowest form of blessing. Isn't that right, Mai Shao? The gestures of religion do not concern me, Mr. Testament. No, I'm sure they don't. But in this case, it was more than a gesture. If the Lama had recognized his friend and teacher, he would have placed his hands on the old man's head. Well, maybe he couldn't see very good through that Halloween mask he was wearing. On the other hand, that same mask would have kept Daro Song from seeing the Lama's face. From recognizing a false Lama.  Suppose you answer that question, Mai Shao? What possible difference could that make to you now, Mr. Testament? That's true. We're scheduled for execution, aren't we? There will be no formal execution. Instead... No, no, please, please, point the finger the other way, will you? It will be so much simpler this way, will it not? An American executed might require explanation, but if it were simply called a disappearance, huh? Has it occurred to you, Mai Shao? But if I discover the imposture, Daro Song will discover it, too. What difference can it make? You seem to underestimate the efficiency of my organization. Come, close it to the bars. Look, down the hall. Even now, my soldiers are bringing your friend, Daro Song, to join you. Well, Mr. X. Yes, your efficient. Daro Song. Oh, yes, Mr. Thurston. All is well. What about these soldiers? Well, as you suggested, I did not leave the city entirely, but camped on the outskirts until a loyal one here in the palace informed me of what had happened to my three friends. Three? And this joker still thinks Mai Shao is his friend.  Now I have come to yours.  What? Wait, Daro Song. Well, there is no risk. We were able to pass this century safely, and now we have only to leave as we came. There is one thing you ever will have, Daro Song. Yes? This gun I hold. Mai Shao. God. God. Bring the alarm. I said bring it. As I told you, these men are our friends. Yes, and I'll shoot any who stands in my way. Just a minute, Mai Shao. What a haymaker. I know your religion disapproves of violence, Daro Song, but I'm sure you won't mind an exception in the case of a gold hat. A gold hat? Yes, Mr. Thurston. In this case, I do approve your very excellent right hook to the jaw. I'll still over here. Keep looking. Okay. We'll go down this car door, Daro Song. Perhaps we are too late, Mr. Thurston. The trulama may have been killed. I don't think so. They're more efficient than that. Torture your enemy. Break them in mind or body, but keep them alive. He may be useful. This is the only prison in Lhasa. If he is a prisoner, he must be here somewhere. What about this door? Here now. Peace be with your highness. Daro Song, revered teacher. Rise and take my thanks. You and your friends. Now, we must hurry, highness. If we are to be beyond the palace walls when the gold hat recovers from the effects of the right hook. Right? I'm sorry to disagree, Daro Song, but the Karai Lama is staying here. So are we. But, Mr. Thurston, it was to aid his escape that we came to Lhasa. That may be. If we run away, we'll save his neck and ours. But the gold hat will stay in power and the false lama be the lead with Tibet, your highness. The choice is up to you. We save your life or risk it trying to save your country. There is no choice, Mr. Thurston. My country. Good. Now, if the palace guard were assembled, would they still be loyal to you? Some of the officers have been bribed by the gold hat, but the rank and file are loyal to me. That is why my alter ego has never dared to appear before the people without his mask. Sounds like the old story, the organized few pushing around everybody else who didn't know what was happening until it was too late. Well, maybe we can give the bully boys a taste of their own medicine. But, Mr. X, that's the alarm gone. It'll bring the guards. Right, Pagan. Mr. X, I can't look. The price of treason is pretty high, Pagan. It's not what's happening to Mao Xia. That funny lama, it's the heavy blade. It's so big and so sharp. Mr. X, they sharpen it for us. Well, your highness. Mr. X, when the gold hat and his people came and made themselves powerful here, I did not strike against them because I wanted peace and thought myself alone in a world gone mad. I shall not make that mistake again. Your highness, it's taken us a long time to learn that in our world no man lives alone and no country. That we must each of us bring light to those who cry out in the darkness, lest all of mankind fall into the well. Peace be with you and your people. Now, here is our star, Mr. Herbert Marshall. Thanks for being with us. Next week, Mr. X starts out on what looks like a fishing trip of Baja, California, but ends up with a strange combination of a beautiful woman, an important foreign agent, and a submarine, to say nothing of Leon Bolasco is paid on Zelschmidt. So join us, won't you, and next I return to you, Mr. Herbert Marshall. This is the Saturday night feature on NBC's five-show festival of comedy, music, mystery, and drama, brought to you by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television, and by Whitehall Pharmacal Company, makers of Anacind, Coronos, Pysadol, and other fine drug products.
