Oddities (2010–…): Season 5, Episode 7 - Tongue Tied - full transcript

WELCOME TO THE WEIRD WORLD
OF "ODDITIES."

A CLIENT OF OURS WHO'S ACTUALLY
BASED HERE IN CHICAGO

IS A COLLECTOR OF THINGS RELATED TO DEATH,
BUT HE'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TWISTED.

I GOT SOMETHING A LITTLE MACABRE
RIGHT UP HERE.

OH, MAN!

THERE'S A NEW ACT
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING
TO LEND MY OPINION.

YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY.

GET READY.

AH, THE PIèCE DE RéSISTANCE.

PRESENTING...



OBSCURA AIN'T YOUR
GRANDMOTHER'S ANTIQUE SHOP.

WHOA!

WELL, UNLESS YOUR GRANDMA'S
A BIT OF A KOOK.

IS THAT A STRAITJACKET?

I'M MIKE.

AND I'M EVAN.

WE'VE SPENT OUR ENTIRE LIVES... COLLECTING
AND DEALING... HUNTING AND PICKING...

TO GET THIS BUSINESS...
DOWN TO A SCIENCE.

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

WE'VE TRAVELED
FROM NEW YORK TO CHICAGO,

AND WHILE IT WOULD BE FUN
TO COMPARE CHICAGO-STYLE PIZZA

TO WHAT WE HAVE BACK HOME,
THIS TRIP IS ALL BUSINESS.

EVAN AND I GO TO HEAD OVER
TO SEE A RENOWNED COLLECTOR

WHILE RYAN'S GONNA RUN AROUND
AND TRY AND FIND SOME ITEMS



THAT MIGHT BE HARDER TO FIND
BACK IN NEW YORK.

HE'S HEADING OVER TO A LOCAL
SHOP CALLED WOOLLY MAMMOTH.

IT'S SORT OF CHICAGO'S VERSION
OF OBSCURA.

THEY DEAL
IN SOME PRETTY WEIRD STUFF.

HEY.
HOW YOU GUYS DOING?

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANYTHING
IN PARTICULAR?

UM... I'M USUALLY THE ONE
ASKING THAT QUESTION.

WE OWN AN ANTIQUES AND ODDITIES SHOP
IN CHICAGO CALLED WOOLLY MAMMOTH.

WE WERE ON OUR HONEYMOON,
TRAVELING IN TRANSYLVANIA,

AND WE'RE LIKE,
"THIS IS AWESOME!

HOW DO WE KEEP
THIS ADVENTURE GOING?"

AND THAT'S WHEN WE DECIDED
WE WERE GONNA OPEN THE SHOP.

WHAT IS...
WHAT'S THIS GUY DOWN HERE?

YEAH. THAT THING.
YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT.

LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S OUR TOM AND JERRY.

YEAH. THERE'S
A LITTLE MOUSE IN THERE.

THERE'S A MOUSE IN THERE.

THERE'S A VETERINARIAN IN TOWN.

WHEN ANIMALS DIE ON THE TABLE
OR DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES,

HE PUTS THEM IN A JAR.
HE'S VERY ANIMATED.

I MAY BE INTERESTED
IN THIS PIECE,

BUT I WANT TO SEE SOME OF THE
OTHER THINGS THAT YOU HAVE.

WELL, THERE'S A WHOLE HOST
OF QUACK DEVICES, IF...

I'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE...
THE ULTRAVIOLET RAY.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO USE
THIS ONE ON THE HAIR,

AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO PROMOTE
HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH.

DID IT WORK?

YES.
WE DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE
EVER TRIED IT OUT.

I TRIED IT,
AND IT ALL FELL OUT, SO...

THE NEWEST ACQUISITION HERE
IS THE RADIO-VITANT.

YOU WOULD BE EXPOSED
TO LIGHT AND HEAT.

OKAY, BECAUSE LIGHT THERAPY
IS VERY POPULAR STILL TODAY.

IT STILL IS.

IT ACTUALLY STILL WORKS.
IT WORKS.

HERE WE GO.

FEELING BETTER YET?

I'M FEELING GREAT ANYWAY,
SO...

IT'S A REALLY COOL PIECE, BUT I THINK WHAT
I'LL DO IS I'M GONNA KEEP LOOKING AROUND,

AND I'LL BE IN CONTACT
WITH YOU GUYS.

SOUNDS GOOD.
THANKS FOR COMING IN, RYAN.

THANKS FOR SHOWING ME AROUND.
I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WORLD-RENOWNED VETERAN COLLECTOR RICHARD
HARRIS RECENTLY GAVE US A CALL.

HE'S LOOKING TO EXPAND
HIS DEATH COLLECTION,

AND HE'S HOPING
THAT WE COULD GIVE HIM A HAND.

WELL, WELCOME
TO THE HARRIS RESIDENCE.

HELLO, RICHARD.

WOW.

THIS IS A GREAT PLACE
YOU HAVE HERE.

OH, THANK YOU.
YEAH. LOOK AT THESE THINGS.

THIS IS JUST THE CHERRY
ON TOP OF THE CAKE.

MOST OF IT IS IN STORAGE, AND THEN
I HAVE THE EXHIBITION IN LONDON.

UH-HUH. 'CAUSE YOU HAVE, LIKE,
HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PIECES?

I'M NOT QUITE SURE THE TOTAL,
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, MIKE.

THAT'S A COLLECTION WHEN YOU
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE.

1,500 TO 2,000 ITEMS IN IT.

AMAZING.
WOW.

IT'S BEEN THE JOY
OF MY LIFE.

THERE'S THINGS FROM
ALL DIFFERENT CULTURES.

MM-HMM.

YOU HAVE SOME THINGS, ACTUALLY, THAT
WE'VE HAD, LIKE THE PAPIER-MâCHé SKULL.

OH!

THE CLASSIC.

ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO, I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE INTERESTING TO START A COLLECTION

VERY MUCH IN KEEPING WITH WHAT
RICHARD HARRIS IS INTERESTED IN.

AND THAT IS DEATH.

THIS IS THE EARLIEST PIECE
IN THE COLLECTION.

IT'S A JADE CARVING
OF A SKULL.

IT'S CHINESE.

HOW OLD IS THAT?

ABOUT 2,000 B.C.
OH!

IT'S INTERESTING THE EAR
GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

WHAT WAS THIS USED FOR?

I HAVEN'T THE FOGGIEST IDEA,
AS A MATTER OF FACT.

SEEING YOUR COLLECTION...
IT'S WONDERFUL.

HOW EXACTLY CAN WE HELP YOU OUT
WITH THIS?

I'VE GOT LOTS OF SKELETONS
AND SKULLS IN THE COLLECTION.

BUT WHAT I'M REALLY LOOKING FOR IS SOMETHING
HAVING A CONCEPTUAL FLAVOR OF DEATH

MORE THAN SOMETHING AS LITERAL
AS A SKULL OR SKELETON.

MM-HMM.
RIGHT.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU THINKING OF
SPENDING ON THESE DEATHLY THINGS?

GOSH.
$5,000, $10,000.

WE CAN WORK WITH THAT.

YEAH.
THAT DEFINITELY DOES HELP.

WE'LL DEFINITELY START
CALLING OUR CONTACTS,

AND WE'LL GET WORKING ON IT
AND BE IN CONTACT SOON.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING
WHAT YOU COME BACK WITH.

WHILE MIKE AND EVAN ARE OFF
FINDING ITEMS FOR A CUSTOMER,

I'M HERE IN CHICAGO LOOKING FOR
STUFF TO BRING BACK TO THE SHOP.

I'VE SET UP A MEETING
WITH A LOCAL PERFORMER

WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE SOME UNIQUE
ITEMS HE'D LIKE TO SHOW ME.

HEY.

HELLO.
COME ON IN.

WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?

OH, WOW, MAN.
THIS IS GREAT.

LOOKS LIKE A FREAKATORIUM.

THIS IS WHERE WE MAKE
ALL THE GUESTS SLEEP

SO THAT, HOPEFULLY, THEY DON'T
STAY A SECOND NIGHT.

OH, SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY
BEING SERIOUS.

YEAH.
YEAH.

THAT'S REALLY FUNNY.

I AM A VAUDEVILLIAN
CIRCUS PERFORMER.

AND I AM A PERFORMANCE ARTIST
AND BURLESQUE DANCER.

I LIKE TO COLLECT DOLLS, MEDICAL
ITEMS, AND ANY TYPE OF DEAD BODY.

I'M OFF JUST LOOKING FOR STUFF TO
BRING BACK TO THE SHOP TO SELL,

SO WHAT IS
THAT THING UP THERE?

KIND OF LOOKS LIKE
AN ICE-CREAM CONE.

OH.

THIS IS ACTUALLY
A HIP-REPLACEMENT JOINT.

UH, CAN I GET
A CLOSER LOOK?

YEAH.
LOOK AT THAT.

THIS PIECE COMES OUT.

THIS IS THE FEMORAL CAP.

THIS CAP IS PUT INTO THE PELVIC REGION,
AND THAT WOULD REPLACE YOUR FEMUR.

HIP REPLACEMENTS HAVE BECOME
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON

AND SUCCESSFUL SURGERIES
DONE TODAY

DUE TO STABLE MATERIALS
SUCH AS STAINLESS STEEL.

HOWEVER, IN THE LATE 19th
CENTURY, EARLY 20th CENTURY,

THINGS LIKE PIG BLADDERS AND IVORY WERE
SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT WERE USED.

SO, IS THIS A PIECE YOU'D BE
WILLING TO PART WITH?

I'M ONLY WILLING TO SELL IT
IF YOU DO ME A FAVOR.

THERE'S A NEW ACT
THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

WE'D LIKE
AN IMPARTIAL OPINION.

OH, NO.
I LOVE SIDESHOW ACTS.

I MEAN, I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO,
YOU KNOW, LEND MY EYES AND OPINION.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, BOYS!

SO, WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS
IS A TANDEM HUMAN-ENDURANCE TEST.

EVEN IN THE REALM OF SIDESHOW,
THIS IS ON THE VERY EXTREME END.

DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME.

SO, THIS IS ALL YOUR STUFF?

YES, IT IS.

THIS PIECE OVER HERE
IS CALLED ROZE 7.

OH!

THAT'S PRETTY BLOODY.
THAT'S BLOODY.

GREAT COLLECTION OF STUFF.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING OVER
IN THE CORNER I COULD SHOW YOU.

OOH. IT'S ACTUALLY...
THAT'S COOL. WOW!

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

SO, WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS
IS A TANDEM HUMAN-ENDURANCE TEST.

DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME.

WOW.

OH, YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY.

WITH YOU,
ESPECIALLY, MAN.

THAT LOOKED EXCRUCIATING.

ACTUALLY, WHEN I'M DOING THAT, IT
ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE MY SEPTUM COULD RIP.

HEY, ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.

IT WAS PHENOMENAL AND CERTAINLY
SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN.

YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD SPORT, SO,
UH, I THINK WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.

HOW ABOUT $125?

I COULD DO $125.

ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT A DEAL, BUDDY.

NICE MEETING YOU GUYS.

OUR CUSTOMER
RICHARD HARRIS HAS US ON A HUNT

TO FIND SOME UNIQUE ITEMS
FOR HIS DEATH COLLECTION.

HE HAS A TON OF SKULLS AND SKELETONS,
BUT HE'S LOOKING TO BROADEN OUT.

WE'RE HEADED OVER
TO A LOCAL CHICAGO COLLECTOR

WHO WE HOPE WILL HAVE
SOMETHING WE CAN USE.

WELCOME TO MY LITTLE HOME.

GREAT COLLECTION
OF STUFF YOU GOT HERE.

THANK YOU.

I'VE COLLECTED
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME,

SO I HAVE SOME GOOD THINGS
YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED WEIRD THINGS.

I GUESS IT REALLY STARTED
WHEN I MET THIS MINK FARMER.

I TOLD HIM I WANTED A BUNCH OF MINK SKULLS,
AND ONE DAY, I CAME HOME FROM WORK

AND HE HAD LEFT A PAPER BAG FULL
OF MINK HEADS BY MY FRONT DOOR.

I WAS LIKE, "AW."

WELL, I'VE GOT ONE THING
YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

IT'S ACTUALLY...
AN OLD CADAVER HOOK.

THAT'S COOL.
WOW!

YEAH, THIS IS AMAZING.

I MEAN, THAT GOES
IN SOMEONE'S HEAD.

THIS IS THE REAL THING.
AND THESE ARE VERY, VERY SHARP.

IT OPENS UP.
SO, YOU WOULD GO LIKE THIS.

THIS IS A LITTLE SMALL
FOR MY GIGANTIC HEAD.

BUT THEY WOULD BASICALLY
JUST SHOVE THAT INTO YOUR EARS,

AND THEY WOULD HANG IT UP TO A HOOK
AND JUST HAVE THEM ALL STACKED UP,

LINED UP IN THE FREEZER.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY COOL
DEATH-RELATED THING

THAT'S SORT OF
ON THE PERIPHERY OF DEATH.

I MEAN, IT'S GORY, IT'S TWISTED,
IT'S FUN TO THINK ABOUT.

YEAH.
IT IS FUN TO THINK ABOUT.

UH, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE
TO PRY THIS FROM YOUR HANDS?

OR YOUR HEAD?
FROM YOUR HEAD, YES.

MAYBE, LIKE, 80 BUCKS?

I THINK YOU HAVE A DEAL.

THAT'S VERY CHEAP.

COOL. VERY COOL.
THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, GUYS.
IT WAS A PLEASURE.

THE CADAVER HOOK
IS A REALLY COOL FIND,

BUT, YOU KNOW, RICHARD HAS
A GOOD BUDGET HERE,

AND HE'S EXPECTING SOMETHING REALLY
TOP CALIBER FOR HIS DEATH COLLECTION,

SO WE'RE HEADING OVER TO THE SURGICAL
MUSEUM TO MEET WITH AN ARTIST NAMED JORDAN.

HOPEFULLY HE'LL HAVE SOMETHING
KIND OF UNUSUAL FOR US.

JORDAN.
HELLO.

HI. EVAN.
HI, EVAN.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
GOOD TO MEET YOU, TOO.

HI. I'M MIKE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

WOW. COLORFUL.

SO,
THIS IS ALL YOUR STUFF?

YES, IT IS.

IT LOOKS LIKE BURNT PAPER OR
CHARCOAL OR... MOON DUST.

SO, ACTUALLY, THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT
IN ALL OF MY WORK IS CATTLE BLOOD.

THAT'S BLOOD?

THAT IS BLOOD.

THAT IS SO STRANGE.
OH, YOU CAN SEE THE...

I BEGAN USING BLOOD BACK
WHEN I WAS AT NYU,

SO I WENT TO CHINATOWN, I BOUGHT SOME
BLOOD, AND FROM THE VERY FIRST DRIP,

IT WAS AS THOUGH...
IT WAS SO INVIGORATING.

IT WAS SUDDENLY THE PIECES
WERE BECOMING ALIVE.

WHERE DO YOU GET
ALL THE BLOOD?

FROM A SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

OH, OKAY.

SO, YOU WORK
WITH A LOT OF BLOOD.

GALLONS AND GALLONS
OF RAW BLOOD.

YES.

CAN YOU USE IT LIQUID
OR FRESHER OR...?

THERE ARE MANY
DIFFERENT METHODS.

THIS IS MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE LAYERS OF THE
BLOOD ENCASED INSIDE THE PLEXIGLASS.

LIKE A LASAGNA.

YOU JUST KEEPING
LAYERING AND LAYERING BLOOD?

THAT'S ONE METHOD.

WHILE HUMANS HAVE FOUR MAJOR BLOOD TYPES...
A, B, AB, AND O...

CATTLE ACTUALLY HAVE
11 MAJOR BLOOD TYPES.

HOWEVER, BOTH BLOOD SYSTEMS
ARE HEMOGLOBIN BASED,

MAKING THEM
EXCELLENT OXYGEN CARRIERS.

AS A RESULT, SCIENTISTS HAVE EXPERIMENTED
TO SEE HOW VIABLE IT WOULD BE

TO REPLACE HUMAN BLOOD
WITH COW BLOOD.

BLOOD IS A KEY INGREDIENT
IN ALL OF MY WORK.

MM-HMM.

THIS PIECE OVER HERE
IS CALLED ROZE 7.

OH.

NICE.
THAT IS PRETTY BLOODY.

THAT'S BLOODY.

OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS AMAZING.

WHAT'S THE STORY
WITH THIS LAMP?

THAT IS EITHER AN EMU
OR A PTERODACTYL.

NOW, THIS ONE WAS A BIT
OF A RISK FOR US.

THIS IS OUR MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE
WE BOUGHT.

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

WOW. COLORFUL.

THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT IN ALL
OF MY WORK IS CATTLE BLOOD.

THIS PIECE OVER HERE
IS CALLED ROZE 7.

OH.

THAT IS PRETTY BLOODY.
THAT'S BLOODY.

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.

THIS PARTICULAR PIECE
IS A BLOOD/COPPER MIXTURE

TO CREATE AN ORANGE-Y,
FIRE-Y LIQUID.

INTERESTING.
I MEAN, IT REALLY DOES

RESEMBLE SOME SORT OF BODY
TISSUE, ALMOST LIKE MUSCLE.

IT'S KIND OF PERFECT.

WHAT DOES A PIECE LIKE THIS
GO FOR?

PIECES AROUND THIS SIZE
ARE BETWEEN $4,000 AND $5,000.

I MEAN, THAT'S DEFINITELY
WITHIN OUR CLIENT'S BUDGET.

YEAH.

AND I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY
WITHIN HIS... HIS AESTHETIC.

IF YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTED, I CAN PUT
YOU IN TOUCH WITH ONE OF MY GALLERIES,

AND YOU CAN WORK IT OUT.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

WELL, THANK YOU, JORDAN.
IT'S PERFECT.

YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, TOO.

WHILE MIKE AND EVAN
ARE OFF SCOURING CHICAGO

LOOKING FOR ITEMS
FOR COLLECTOR RICHARD HARRIS,

I'M OFF LOOKING FOR STUFF
TO BRING BACK TO OBSCURA,

SO I'VE CONTACTED A LOCAL COLLECTOR
WHO SAID SHE MIGHT HAVE SOME STUFF

SHE'S WILLING TO PART WITH.

HI.
HEY, GAIL.

I'M RYAN.
HI, RYAN. COME ON IN.

OH, MAN!
THIS IS AMAZING.

THANK YOU.
IT'S 25 YEARS OF COLLECTING.

I AM A PAINTER, AND I'VE BEEN
COLLECTING, REALLY, MOST OF MY LIFE.

WHEN PEOPLE COME INTO MY
APARTMENT, THEY EITHER LOVE IT

OR THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT AFRAID...
BECAUSE OF ALL THE ANIMALS.

WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THIS
PIECE HERE, THIS LAMP?

OH, THAT'S MADE OUT
OF AN EMU'S FOOT.

I THINK.
OKAY.

I MEAN, IT'S EITHER AN EMU
OR A PTERODACTYL.

I'D LIKE IT IF IT WAS
A PTERODACTYL, ACTUALLY.

I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS.

IT IS AN EMU, 'CAUSE
THEY DO HAVE THREE TOES.

WHEREAS, LIKE, AN OSTRICH, WHICH
THEY ARE SIMILAR TO, ONLY HAS TWO.

OH. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU
ARE WILLING TO SELL, OR...?

UH... I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK SO.

I'M KIND OF ATTACHED
TO IT.

OKAY.

I DO HAVE SOMETHING OVER HERE
THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN

THAT I MIGHT BE WILLING
TO PART WITH.

THIS IS A DOG FOOT...
WITH A DUAL DEWCLAW.

OH, MY GOD!
LOOK AT THAT!

CAN I GET A BETTER LOOK
AT THIS?

SURE. SURE.
WOW.

THAT'S CALLED POLYDACTYLY...
BASICALLY, MORE THAN FIVE DIGITS.

THIS IS THE DEWCLAW.

IT'S MORE OR LESS THE THUMB,
AND THIS HAS TWO OF THEM.

POLYDACTYLY OCCURS
IN HUMANS AND MAMMALS

AND IS OFTEN LINKED
WITH GENETIC MUTATIONS.

TYPICALLY, PEOPLE GET THESE
EXTRA DIGITS SURGICALLY REMOVED.

HOWEVER, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES,
IF THERE ARE NO BONES PRESENT,

A STRING CAN BE TIED AROUND
THE BASE, KILLING THE TISSUE,

AND CAUSING THE DIGIT
TO ACTUALLY FALL OFF.

THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT I'D BE LOOKING FOR.

ANY IDEA OF WHAT
YOU WOULD WANT FOR IT?

MM, I WAS THINKING,
LIKE, $325.

$325.

I CAN DO $325.
OKAY. GREAT.

GOT A DEAL.
ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SURE.

ALL RIGHT. COOL.

LET ME GO GET
MY POCKETBOOK.

WE'RE STILL ON THE HUNT FOR SOME
DEATH-RELATED ITEMS FOR A LOCAL COLLECTOR.

WE FOUND SOME
PRETTY COOL PIECES SO FAR,

BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE
THAT SPECIAL PIECE YET.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA VISIT SOME
FRIENDS OF OURS WHO NOW LIVE OUT HERE.

WELCOME.
HI.

THANK YOU.
HELLO.

COME ON IN.
THANKS FOR HAVING US IN.

OH, MY GOODNESS!

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S LIKE A NATURAL HISTORY
MUSEUM IN HERE.

WE'VE GOT 11
ROLLER-SKATING CHIPMUNKS.

OH, THAT'S KIND OF NEAT.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE
ROLLER SKATING IN A KITCHEN.

YEAH.
AS CHIPMUNKS WILL DO.

YES, YES, THEY OFTEN DO.

WE COLLECT A LOT
OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

I LOVE
CRAPPY TAXIDERMY.

WE LOOK AT IT LIKE WE'RE RESCUING
AN ANIMAL THAT DIED YEARS AGO.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEED THEM,
AND THEY DON'T NEED LITTER.

I GOT SOMETHING
ALMOST AS CUTE.

IT'S A LITTLE BIGGER.
IN THE KITCHEN. COME SEE.

YEAH, WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT.
YEAH.

THERE'S OUR BOY.

OH, MAN!

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

WE'RE NOT DONE
WITH THE TOUR YET.

I GOT SOMETHING
ALMOST AS CUTE.

IT'S A LITTLE BIGGER.

IN THE KITCHEN. COME SEE.

YEAH.

THERE'S OUR BOY.

OH, MAN!

UH, YEAH.

WOW.

WE'VE HAD TWO-HEADED CALVES BEFORE, BUT
THIS... WELL, IT'S NOT ACTUALLY TWO HEADS,

BUT IT'S THE FACE
THAT'S ACTUALLY REPLICATED.

IT'S ACTUALLY MOST COMMON
IN COWS.

IT DOES HAPPEN IN OTHER ANIMALS,
LIKE CATS AND... PIGS. YEAH.

LAMBS.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
THE ODD GOAT.

I MEAN, I REALLY LIKE
THIS PIECE A LOT.

I MEAN, IT'S TWISTED.
IT'S ABOUT MORTALITY.

IT'S ABOUT DEATH.

WHAT WOULD YOU
BE ASKING ON IT?

MAYBE $600.

IS THERE ANY WIGGLE ROOM
ON THAT?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

WOULD YOU TAKE $500?

I-I THINK WE COULD DO IT
FOR $500.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GREAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HOW DO YOU GET HIM DOWN?
YEAH.

WE'VE SCOURED HIGH AND LOW THROUGH THE
CITY OF CHICAGO LOOKING FOR PIECES

FOR OUR DEATH-OBSESSED COLLECTOR
RICHARD HARRIS.

WE'RE HEADED OVER WITH RYAN
TO SHOW HIM WHAT WE FOUND.

HELLO, RICHARD.

WELCOME BACK.
THANK YOU.

THIS IS RYAN.
WE'VE BROUGHT OUR COHORT.

THIS IS RICHARD.

PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU.

LINE UP
AND SHOW ME YOUR WARES.

WE'LL START WITH THIS PIECE.

OKAY.

OOH!

THIS IS ACTUALLY
A CORPSE HANGER.

IT'S CLASSIC.

THAT WOULD OPEN UP... THE SPIKES
WOULD GO INTO THE EAR CANAL,

AND THEY WOULD HANG THE CADAVER
FOR USE IN MEDICAL STUDY.

YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO TEAM THIS UP WITH
A PIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION ALREADY.

PERHAPS YOU HAVE A SKULL, AND YOU
COULD STICK IT RIGHT ONTO THERE.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL DIFFERENT THING
THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE LOOKED FOR.

WELL, GLAD YOU LIKE IT, BUT...
THAT'S SUPER. ...THAT'S NOT IT.

NOW, THIS ONE WAS A BIT
OF A RISK FOR US.

THIS IS OUR MOST EXPENSIVE
PIECE WE BOUGHT.

THIS IS ACTUALLY DONE
WITH BLOOD.

WHAT KIND OF BLOOD IS...?

IT'S ACTUALLY COW BLOOD.
COW BLOOD?

THAT'S ACQUIRED
FROM SLAUGHTERHOUSES.

CAN I HANDLE IT?
OH, PLEASE.

THAT'S FABULOUS.

IT REALLY IS EXTRAORDINARY.

NOW, THERE'S ONE MORE PIECE THAT WE'RE...
AH, THE PIèCE DE RéSISTANCE. YES.

IT CAME FROM COLLECTOR HERE
IN TOWN.

GET READY.

PRESENTING...

WOW.

THIS, OF COURSE,
IS A TWO-FACED COW.

IT'S REAL, THOUGH.
IT'S NOT A SIDESHOW GAFF.

THIS IS NATURE'S
HANDIWORK.

THAT WOULD BE AN EXTRAORDINARY
ADDITION TO THE COLLECTION.

MY GOSH.

ALL THE THREE ITEMS ARE THINGS THAT
HAVE BROADENED MY OWN PERSPECTIVE

OF THE COLLECTION,
CERTAINLY.

YOU HIT A HOME RUN
IN ALL THREE OBJECTS.

FANTASTIC.
OR AT LEAST A DOUBLEHEADER.

WE ARE SELLING IT
AS A PACKAGE.

SO, WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A PRICE ON...
I LIKE TO BUY IN BULK.

ALL THREE PIECES,
WE'RE CHARGING $8,000.

YOU HAVE
A LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM?

UM...
PROBABLY ABOUT $7,000.

DOES THAT WORK?

IT'S A DEAL.
EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
RICHARD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT'S SUPER.

WELL, I HAVE TO ADMIT, OUR TRIP TO
THE WINDY CITY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.

RICHARD LOVED THE DEATHLY ITEMS
WE FOUND HIM.

RYAN ACTUALLY PICKED UP SOME
REALLY COOL ITEMS FOR THE SHOP,

AND ALTHOUGH
I'M A THIN-CRUST GUY AT HEART,

I KNOW I'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK
TO THIS TOWN.

WAIT TILL MY WIFE COMES HOME
AND SCARE HER A LITTLE BIT.

OH.
EXCELLENT.
