'''The Human Ransom''' is the one hundred thirtieth video in the lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==
(''The video starts with scenes of a highway, scenery, and driving in a car. A sign says "La Brea Ave, Hollywood". Cut to driving through the city. Cut to a tall glass building, the camera zooms in on the top floors.'')

(''Cut to Bree inside the building, as Jonas films.'')

'''Jonas:''' (''offscreen'') Sure you're ready for this?

'''Bree:''' Daniel saved my life. It's the least I can do. Take care of him, okay?

(''Elevator opens and reveals Daniel blindfolded with hands tied, accompanied by Lucy and three other men in sunglasses.'')

(''Cut to Daniel (still blindfolded) and Bree hugging.'')

'''Jonas:''' Bree, I...think they're getting impatient.

(''Lucy moves to cover the camera with her hand'')

(''Bree is still hugging Daniel'')

(''Cut to Bree in the elevator looking out with Lucy and the three men looking down. Door closes. Goes to black.'')

'''Bree:''' Wait!! Stop!!

(''The interior footage plays back quickly in reverse. Tachyon music kicks in as a Malaysia airplane lands at LAX and "'''TACHYON'''" flashes across the screen.'')

(''More footage of driving, presumably from Brother's point of view.'')

(''Shot has a black/blue and white tint to it: Bree in elevator looking directly at (presumably hidden) surveillance camera.'')

(''The video returns to normal color. We see oil fields and more driving.'')

(''Shots now have a black/blue and white tint to them and are replaying what we just saw through Tachyon's perspective through cameras stationed in the hall, similar to her previous video and Brother's video'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 1'''
(''Bree with Jonas as he is filming.'')

'''Text: ELEVATOR NO. 2'''
(''Inside the elevator with Lucy and men'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 2'''
(''Doors opening with Daniel'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 3'''
(''Same as last shot but at different angle and with Lucy in the frame.'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 4'''
(''Front view of Daniel and Lucy, who is behind Daniel's right shoulder. Lucy leans forward towards Daniel and appears to be whispering something to him'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 5'''
(''View from the side of Bree hugging Daniel and whispering something.

'''Text: ATR - ELEV 1'''
(''Cut to facing Bree; we can clearly see she is saying something to him.'')

(''Cut to a far away shot of them hugging and Lucy crosses in front of them to block the camera Jonas is holding.'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 1'''
(''Bree looking out of elevator towards Jonas and Daniel.'')

(''Cut to shot of a close up of the camera Jonas is holding and we can see Bree through the display screen.'')

(''Cuts to door closing as Bree makes a sudden move forward. (thought to match up to when she says "Wait!! Stop!!")'')

'''Text: ATR – CAM 1'''
(''Door closes. Jonas and Daniel are visible but Daniel now has his hands untied and the blindfold off.'')

'''Text: ATR – GROUND 1'''
(''Lower half of elevator door is seen closing as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashbang#Stun_grenades flashbang] is rolled in from the left toward the gap. The video freezes, and the word "'''flash'''" appears in the upper right corner, then fades.'')

'''Text: ATR – GROUND 2'''
(''The grenade banks neatly into the narrowing gap of the elevator door. The video freezes again, the word "'''bang'''" appears in the lower left corner, then fades. Cut to black'')

'''Text: for a girl who scored 112 the last time she went bowling, <br>that's an impressive shot!'''

'''Text: ELEVATOR NO. 2'''
(''Inside the elevator, there is a white flash from the grenade. Cut to black.'')

'''Bree:''' (''voiceover, almost inaudible'') Daniel? (''normal, concerned'') Daniel? (''shouting'') RUN!!

(''Goes back to normal color'')

(''We see a shot of a stairwell. Bree is holding Daniel's elbow as they run up the stairs. Jonas follows them with the camera.'')

'''Jonas:''' Bree!?!

'''Bree:''' Go up the stairs

'''Jonas:''' Are you sure we can trust this guy? He's not like really,(her?)Brother is he?

(''The group reaches the top flight where a ladder leads to the roof.'')

'''Daniel:''' What are we doing?

'''Bree:''' If she says we can trust him, we can trust him. I'll explain it to you later.

(''Bree starts climbing the ladder, Daniel looks down at his right hand. He is still holding his blindfold.'')

'''Jonas:''' Go! Go! Go! Go!

(''He pans down the stairs where Lucy can be seen chasing after them.'')

'''Bree:''' Jonas, put down the camera. Come on, help him!

(''A helicopter can now be heard.'')

(''Bree continues climb as Jonas pans back.'')

'''Jonas:''' Seriously, go!

==Notes==
* This is the first crossover involving [[Tachyon]] directly in the series, although Daniel mentioned her in the video [[Homeless]] as the one who alerted him to the Order's tracking device in his car. When Bree says, "If she says we can trust him, we can trust him," it could be that "She" refers to [[Tachyon]], and that "Him" is [[Brother]]. When Daniel states that he "had some help editing this video," this could well have been [[Tachyon]] or [[Brother]] doing the editing (as the style of the second half of the video is much closer to theirs, and features footage they presumably shot.)
* Tachyon has been in Fiji, which is why she is arriving on a plane from Malaysian Airlines.
* [[Helicopter]]s have been seen in other videos but were always thought to be connected with the Order, not Tachyon. It may be that the helicopter sightings in videos were [[Brother]] or Tachyon.
* The reference to bowling a 112 comes from one of Tachyon's drop videos, [[Knock 'Em Down]], in which Tachyon scores 112 at the "Sea Bowl" bowling alley in Pacifica, CA.
* Co-creators Mesh Flinders and Miles Beckett have cameo appearances as the men in the elevator. The third watcher may be Greg Goodfried wearing a fake beard. While the part of [[Lucy]] was previously played by [[Jessi Williams]], the blonde woman in this video is [[Amanda Goodfried]].
* The flashbang grenade is a type of stun grenade that incapacitates by letting off a deafening blast and a blinding flash of light. Flashbangs usually cause about 5 seconds of blindness and a temporary loss of balance due to the blast that disturbs the fluid in the semicircular canals of the ear. Since the grenade remains entirely intact and there is no shrapnel or fragmentation, serious injury is usually rare from this device. However it is likely that the effect of the blast was enhanced by being inside a 100 cubic foot elevator. It is unclear how long Bree and the others were incapacitated from the effects and if there were any serious injuries done such as permanent hearing and balance damage.
* Although the camera zoom up at the building implies that they are on a top floor, the number "2" (indicating "second floor") can be seen on a plate in the elevator doorway.

'''Roadtrip''' is the one hundred seventh video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==
(''Jonas is filming himself pack his suitcase as he talks. Occasionally he shows Daniel asleep on the bed. Sonny, by the Napoleon Blown Aparts plays in the background.'')

'''Jonas:''' (''voiceover'') Okay, so here's what's going on. Daniel conked out. He stayed up all night trying to figure out Bree's code. I tried to stay up with him and help him but, you know, man, that is some complicated stuff Bree and her old man came up with. Anyway, my flux capacitor ran out of uranium at about four and I-I passed out. But the Beast, he cracked it. He woke me up at six and told me we had to get on the road ''stat'' so I packed and he fell asleep. I'll just have him explain it when he wakes up.

(''Jonas taps Daniel in the face to wake him. Daniel looks around bleary-eyed and tired. Cut to Daniel and Jonas loading bags into an SUV. Cut to Daniel talking from the passenger of the seat.)

'''Daniel:''' (''to Jonas'') Sorry I passed out last night, man. Thanks for packing, though.

'''Jonas:''' Hey, no problemo.

'''Daniel:''' (''to camera'') Anyway, last night I was up watching Bree's video. I was putting all these numbers together in my head, trying to make sense of it. I decided to call the number in Bree's video.

(''The screen cuts to edited footage of Bree's video [[Bree Phone Home]]. Daniel continues to explain the [[Bree Phone Home puzzle]] as this footage rolls in voiceover.'')

'''Daniel:''' You know, the uh, dry cleaner's -- Powell. I mean, everything she talked about (''cut back to Daniel'') seemed to hinge around that. Obviously they weren't open, but when I listened to the (''cut back to Bree footage'') message there were all these numbers: the... (''cut back to Daniel'') price for dry cleaning, the store hours, I lined all those numbers up and there was 10 digits. So I dialed those digits. Found a message on a voice mail. It was Bree's dad. I guess she found a way to...to meet her dad. I think what's amazing about this whole thing is that the two of them came up with this elaborate code, without even being able to speak to each other. Anyways, he told her where to meet him. It's, uh, it's kind of in code, but I knew what he meant. (''Music starts to play again.'') So it's a bit of a trip--

'''Jonas:''' Road trip!

(''Daniel grins in response. He turns the camera to Jonas who is wearing a cap.'')

'''Jonas:''' The lure of the open road calls and the blacktop beckons. That's right. (''Jonas sniffles'') The blacktop it beckons, and we cannot resist. Can we? (''teasing'') Can we Beast?

(''Daniel chuckles'')

'''Jonas:''' I'm sorry. I won't do that again.

'''Daniel:''' Let's do it.

==Notes==
* In the video, Daniel says he figured out the '''[[Bree Phone Home puzzle]]''' from Bree's December 18th video with the same title.
* The "flux capacitor" that Jonas mentions is from the movie Back to the Future. The flux capacitor, powered with plutonium, allowed the main characters in the film to travel through time. Although Jonas says his flux capacitor is out of uranium, in fact plutonium can be produced from uranium.
* Daniel's ability to stay awake for at least 14 hours straight while solving puzzles and doing research was previously established in his video [[Aleister Crowley (Video)|Aleister Crowley]].
*Apparently Jonas has more than one car, seeing as how he's driving a car right after a blog was posted about Bree stealing his car. ''(Note: In the summary of "Bree's Gone" it says "and so was one of my cars," implying Jonas has more than one car.)''

Swimming!

Daniel was LAME and didn't want to go in the water... but... well you'll see!|music=Junkie by [[The Jane Doe's]]|tags=LG15 lonelygirl15 daniel danielbeast safari hat swim water river hike langosta mercury phylum}}

'''Swimming!''' is the twenty-sixth video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. This is the first video in which Bree mentions [[Cassie]]. The plants in this video were identified as being unique to Southern California. The swimming hole was eventually identified as part of the San Gabriel River in Angeles National Forest, California, near Sheep Mountain.

== Transcript ==

'''Bree:''' ''(at home sitting at her desk talking to the camera)'' I've been promised swimming, and when I've been promised swimming, nothing better get in my way!

''(cut to interior of a car, Daniel is driving)''

'''Bree:''' Daniel? When are we gonna get there? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Where even are we? ''(Bree whispers, addressing the camera)'' He's probably not taking me swimming at all. He's probably taking me into the woods to hack me into little pieces...and eat me!

''(cut to Bree walking a stony path towards the water)''

'''Bree:''' Forgot my hat.

'''Daniel:''' Why'd you wear flip-flops? Why didn't you wear your hiking boots?

'''Bree:''' Skeeter hunting.

''(musical montage of Bree swimming)''

'''Bree:''' Skeeter hunting consists of walking along the creek and looking for those little water beetles that skit along the surface, and then bashing their brains out when you find them.

'''Daniel:''' What do you bash their brains out with?

'''Bree:''' A flip-flop.

''(musical montage of Bree swimming)''

'''Bree:''' ''(camera show Daniel brushing at his clothes, which are wet)'' Daniel got in the water. ''(giggles)'' Whatever happened to that girl, Cassie?

'''Daniel:''' Who?

'''Bree:''' That girl. She was in your class? ''(Daniel looks confused)'' You know?

'''Daniel:''' I have no idea what you're talking about.

''(musical montage of Bree swimming)''

''(Bree is shown smacking a waterbug with her shoe)''

'''Daniel:''' So this is "Skeetering"?

'''Bree:''' ''(giggles)'' "Good name for it."

'''Daniel:''' You like that?

'''Bree:''' It's like..."Skeeter Hunting 2.0"

''(musical montage of Bree swimming)''

'''Bree:''' ''(seen from behind, rubbing something off her hand with her shoe, she looks back at the camera)'' Did she graduate?

'''Daniel:''' Who?

'''Bree:''' Cassie.

'''Daniel:''' Who is this girl?

'''Bree:''' She was in your class.

''(musical montage of Bree swimming)''

'''Bree:''' ...P.E. together.

'''Daniel:''' What'd she look like?

'''Bree:''' I don't remember.

'''Daniel:''' Why would you even bring---

'''Bree:''' ''(interrupts)'' I don't know what I'm worrying - just forget about it. I dunno, we just used to...walk around the track together. ...because everybody was so mean to her. You know? ''(turns to the camera)'' Do you want to go?

''(musical montage of Bree swimming, including silent clips from earlier in the video where she says "taking me into the woods to" and "flop")''

'''Bree:''' ''(swimming)'' It's nice and cold and refre--
