The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 5

The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 5 is the eighth video in The Mandela Catalogue Act 2. It takes place in 1992, with Jude Murray as the protagonist trying to escape Mandela County directly after the events of Vol. 333.
==Summary==
In the opening credits, the phone call between Thatcher Davis and Jude Murray in Vol. 333 is played before a cut to a hanging telephone, then to a picture of a mother holding her baby, presumably Lynn and Adam Murray. The scene cuts to various points in Adam's room, finally showing the shadow of Lynn's hanging corpse on the wall. A figure exits the room and the garage door opens. The Murray household's mailbox is shown before a cut to a picture of Jude and Adam. 
A private tape of the USDTP from 1992 is then played, which details the results of an operation in which 28 USDTP agents were stationed in Yonder County to "collect data regarding temporal bleeding" in Mandela County. The first event discussed is an unregistered 1989 Ford Taurus passing between Yonder and Mandela several times over the course of 11 days. Several images taken from video capture of the car are shown, including a picture of the unknown driver. Notably, the car was never captured returning from the other direction. The second event discussed is the task of Agent J. Booker, who was tasked with gathering samples from the home of Nicolas Beringer, a location of interest. Booker captured two images and one video of "anomalies", presumably Alternates, that were present in the home. Booker noted that the anomalies were not aggressive, merely observant. 
A commercial for a company named "Midwestern Relocation Services" plays, offering viewers a chance to begin anew. A note is then shown, which gives instructions on where to find a safehouse that is meant to be used by those awaiting their relocation by MRS. Jude arrives at this safehouse with the note, which reads "The back door will be unlocked" at the bottom. Jude makes his way up to a room and lays down with the TV on. A commercial for an anxiety medication called Timoril plays. It claims to treat symptoms such as insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and irrational fears. However, many negative side effects are also listed, including worsening of anxiety or depression. 
A biblical cartoon then plays, showing a shepherd distressed over the death of his youngest lamb. He tells God that he tried his hardest and asks for forgiveness. Gabriel appears outside the shepherd's window saying he heard the man's prayers. The shepherd asks Gabriel if he is the Holy Spirit, but Gabriel replies that the man spoke to him and now he is here. The shepherd asks if he is forgiven. Gabriel asks, "For what?" before moving aside and showing the shepherd his lamb, now alive and healthy. 
Jude is then shown in the kitchen, on the phone with his contact at the M.R.S. He confirms that he made it safely to the safehouse. The M.R.S agent tells Jude that he will be picked up for relocation the next day at 4:30 AM in a Ford Taurus. The agent gives Jude his last chance to call off his relocation, but he confirms that he does want it. The agent advises Jude to start making phone calls, as people noticing his absence too soon will "fuck up this whole operation." Jude replies that he will handle it and the call ends. 
Jude is on the phone with Dr. Jack Williamson. Williamson asks him if Adam has shown any improvements. Jude lies and says he is doing great. Williamson asks when Jude would like Adam's next appointment to be, but Jude falsely informs him that he and his family are moving to a new home and changing doctors. Williamson tells Jude that he can get his prescription transferred and praises him for taking the initiative to keep his family safe. 
At 4:30 AM, Jude goes downstairs to leave for his relocation. However, he sees a figure at the door. 
The cartoon of the shepherd returns. The shepherd is approached by a woman who introduces herself as a farmer named Jane. She asks the shepherd if he has any leftover grains because her crops were ruined. They go to the fields and he gives her some grain. The shepherd asks Jane if she knows what is wrong with his lamb. She says that it is beautiful, and that he is blessed. He says that it is clearly unhealthy. Jane leaves, telling the shepherd that she would love to show him her animals. The shepherd is then shown in a desert and falls over due to the metal ball attached to chains on his ankles. He looks up at the sky and cries out, "How do I know you are holy?!"
The M.R.S agent calls Jude, telling him that he has arrived at his new home. He asks Jude how long he has been on the road, to which Jude meekly responds with "I couldn't", explaining that he couldn't leave because there was someone at the door, showing his bottle of Timoril. After that, the frame turns to the note that Jude was holding when he came to the safe house. (The viewer may also see a blurry name on the note: 'O'Brien') The agent expresses his anger and disappointment in Jude, telling him that he "can't escape this" and to stop acting like "it" didn't happen, along with calling him a deadbeat. The call ends with the agent telling Jude to do what he needs to do.
Jude responds to knocking on the door. The person at the door introduces themselves as Lieutenant Davis with the MCPD, but Jude says he didn't call the police. Davis says he is there for state-required checkups on citizens. He asks Jude if he knows him from somewhere, which Jude denies. Davis asks Jude if he is aware of the Television and Mirror Destruction order. Jude says that he is housesitting and that the house is fine. Davis wishes Jude and his family a nice day before leaving. 
Later, Jude is laying in bed. The figure at the door from when Jude was supposed to leave is shown, along with a window. Then, a blurry image of Gabriel is shown, who says, "It was supposed to be you." Jude wakes up, alarmed by red light being emitted by the TV, which displays "SUPPOSED TO BE YOU". He then looks at a hand reaching around the door to his room. The hand retracts before the door suddenly opens. 
The shepherd, now walking through the desert, stops when a mouth opens up in the sand and begins to speak: "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. Night fell upon them in an instant, and all the color was drained from the world. An angel appeared to them, and they were terrified. The angel fooled them, just like he planned, but there was more work to be done." Another mouth opens up in the sand and speaks: "It does not need to be that way. You are not the first. There are so many more. Nothing has been done yet. He has a lot of convincing to do. Until then, trust nobody. Are you listening to me? Are you listening to me? Are you listening to me?" 
The shepherd then wakes up in a room and asks Jane where he is. She says that he is in her home, and has been there for a while. The shepherd says that "he" is here and that he knows his presence. Jane asks who "he" is, saying that everybody left town. She tells the shepherd that they are the only people in town, which is what she prayed for. She tells the shepherd to look at her. When he does, he sees Gabriel looming over her. The screen goes black before the shepherd asks Jane if she is there, only to see her dead on the ground. He runs to look at his field and sees that his lamb is now distorted. Gabriel appears behind the shepherd with his hands reaching around him. 
Jude wakes up to see that his TV is showing the front of the safehouse. He looks out his window and sees a crib on the ground as he hears a crying baby. He then goes downstairs and sees a figure outside the window. The figure enters the house and Jude rushes back upstairs to his room. It appears in front of his door and Jude bursts out in both fear and rage, exclaiming "What do you want from me?! It's you! IT'S FUCKING YOU! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! YOU'VE TAKEN, EVERYTHING FROM ME!! YOU'VE TAKEN MY WIFE, YOU'VE TAKEN MY FUCKING CHILD!! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO- YOU WANNA KILL ME?! FUCKING KILL ME, I'VE GOT NOTHING!!!" The screen glitches as N enters the room. As N stands over Jude, he repeatedly sees visions of himself struggling while he hangs from a noose. Jude's face distorts, before N does as well and the screen goes white with only N visible.
It then cuts to Jude's Timoril bottle, with the pills spilling out onto the floor. Jude is seen sad and motionless on his bed as he speaks in a raspy, sobbing voice: "Please... someone... please come... please... help... please... he's inside of my mind... stop it please... stop, stop, stop please." The episode ends.
