See You In Valhalla

To everyone that knew me and to those who didn't,

this is my last will and testament.

I have no personal possessions worth giving,

only my thoughts

and my recollections I hand to you.

Sometimes in death, breath is drawn to new life,

and a spirit dies to be reborn.

Today is the day of my namesake's reckoning,

and one day, we'll dine in Valhalla with Odin.

We will again be one as family,

the way it was intended to be.

Your son, brother, and acquaintance,

Magnus Burwood.

May we all become Vikings after I am gone.

See you in Valhalla.

All right. I'll see you tomorrow.

Next up, a bizarre story

involving a meth distributor and a Viking.

We now take you on the scene with James Warner.

James?

Thank you, Rick.

We are here at the home of Carlos Ruiz,

an apparent crystal methamphetamine distributor,

whose home contained over 12 pounds

of pure crystallized methamphetamine,

according to police.

Last night, 26-year-old Maxwell Burwood

dressed as a Viking and broke into Ruiz's home.

Burwood was then shot and killed

during the altercation.

Ruiz, now in police custody,

says that Burwood was high on crystal meth

and tried to attack him with a sword.

A neighbor close by reported hearing Burwood

screaming vengeance for his deceased girlfriend,

Jamie Tanner, who was said to have overdosed

inside Ruiz's home only weeks earlier.

Maxwell was also known by his Nordic name

Magnus MacTanner

at an alternative drug rehabili - tation center in Iceland.

This story has garnered a cult following

of local bloggers and comic book aficionados

similar to Burwood.

Oh, my God.

They gather outside the Burwood home

hoping for more information.

Mm.

Hey, Jo.

Oh, shit. Pete, I totally forgot.

Oh, no. That's totally cool.

I mean, if you're busy or something,

I can come back another time.

It's... No.

It's just, uh... Just come in.

There was this news story.

I got you flowers. I hope you like daisies.

I went for roses, but then she said it'd be way too serious,

and then carnations came up,

but she said daisies were, like,

really in right now.

I'm sorry I'm early.

I just thought, you know,

we could hang out a little bit before if you want.

Hey, you want a drink?

No. That's... That's cool.

It kinda makes me a little crazy.

Oh, what about the other night?

That was just...

I kinda needed to work up the courage

to sorta do, you know, what we...

did.

...had a big problem in this neighborhood,

so, you know, it's really sad

that somebody died,

but it's kinda great that something

is being done about it. Maybe...

So do you want to go get some food?

Because if not, it's totally fine.

I can...

Um, no, I just... It's...

No, you know what?

It's... It's fine.

I... I think I'm gonna go.

You know that Viking guy?

Yeah. What about him?

He's my brother.

Really?

Yeah.

I am so sorry, Jo.

I... I don't even know what to say.

I need to go home.

I need to go home, right?

That's what you do after someone dies.

I mean, yeah.

I can't believe I have to deal with these people.

Who? Oh, my family.

Do you not like them?

I-It's very complicated.

Do you not have anybody to go with you?

'Cause I'll totally go with you if you want.

No. That's really, really, sweet of you, but I just

I can just go home and pack a bag,

and we can leave first thing in the morning.

Not a good idea.

Jo, listen to me.

You just lost somebody.

Right now, you definitely shoul d not be by yourself.

Oh, my God.

Car. Car. Excuse me.

Right here?

Excuse me. What's your name?

Are you part of the Burwood family?

Are you an ex-lover of the Viking murderer?

Sir? Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Pete!

No comment?

Hello?

As you inhale,

I want you to be one with the Earth.

Drop your petals to the ground...

and feel their energy lift you up.

Exhale.

Hi, Dad.

Jo?

Is that you?

It's me.

Johana. Oh.

Ah, cool. Who's this?

I've never seen this person before in my life.

I'm Faye.

But what's in a name, right?

I... I don't know.

Faye's my nurse.

She helps out around here.

She used to deliver my groceries.

I came by one day, and I said, "Do you

need help, man?"

He was super stoked about it.

Oh.

Hey, Johana,

did those yuppies out there bother you?

Uh, yuppies? No.

We hardly noticed. No. That's...

Okay.

You know, Faye's the best.

Our meditation sessions have guided me through

this whole process.

Those people out there, I block 'em out merely

with the power of my mind.

You're like a monk.

Who're you?

This is Pete.

We're dating.

I... I noticed that you, um, are

using a cane now.

Why is... Oh, yeah.

What can I say?

My... My legs are getting old.

Oh!

Medication time. Ah.

And what's in the, uh, container?

Oh, this is a spirit concoction

with a wheatgrass base.

Nice.

Yum. Delicious.

Oh, Jo.

There's something I want to show you.

Ta-da.

You saved that? God.

I painted that when I was like, 10.

It's my favorite. We saved 'em all.

So good.

Okay, can you just please

hide that while I'm here?

What? Why?

Can I have this?

Dad, please. I'm asking you.

All right.

Whatever makes my little girl happy.

Okay. So, um, are we the first ones here?

Oh, no. Barry's around here somewhere.

He brought a little friend, too.

He is so beautiful.

Way off.

Is that Barry?

I actually have no idea who that is.

Hello.

Hello? Hey, Jo-blo!

Oh, my God. Barry?

Hey.

Wow. You are so skinny.

Yeah. Hey, I'm Pete.

It's so nice to meet you.

Hi, Pete. 40 pounds in the last year. Can you believe it?

Jesus. Were you, like,

really fat before or something?

Ugh, the fattest. You gotta see this.

You carry around a picture?

Always, to remind me how fat I was.
