There's a line of dialogue following the touch your nose part when you briefly see Arkham go up to Brody. I think he says, "Hey Brody, can you take care of that thing now?" This might lead up to them giving her the necklace.

I've been thinking about Silent Eyes, and both his eyes and the camera work for me, but I tend to think this isn't about the camera because we already had clues that led us to the truth is a camera. Then I recalled a Paul Simon song by that name and wonder this doesn't have a deeper meaning. Here are some lyrics from "Silent Eyes."
Silent Eyes
Burning in the desert sun
Halfway to Jerusalem
And we shall all be called as witnesses
Each and ev'ryone
To stand before the eyes of God
And speak what was done.

RE: Petunia - "V could also have been baiting Brody to try to get him to act. Moe's idea works too, though, in fact both may have been going on at the same time. "

I agree Pet. Did anyone else catch the way she stops for a second and stares at Brody for a full 2 seconds? It was like a knowing glance. Maybe those were the silent eyes?

Then again, with the video no longer in quicktime it skips and you cannot see the pause anymore.

Good catch, Leith. Champion found them this morning, too. I think the discussion about them should be done in the youtube topic, though. I mean, it's odd that those are being posted when Brody's nowhere near the internet and hasn't logged in in ages, yes?

Update - Last face to face
http://purgatorium.blip.tv/file/660917/

Ronnie and Michelle sit along on a step at the SKG office. What they are saying is inaudible. The door behind them opens...maybe Brody? Cannot tell...

Brody? - "Hey Michelle? Cab's here...ok?"
Michelle - "OK, thanks."

Michelle - "I promise I'll come back and visit."
Ronnie throws the flower she is holding down and starts to cry

Michelle - "I will get those video diaries, and I will videotape my own but crappy video diaries since I'm not as talented as you! I will, and I am going to send them to you."

Ronnie - "OK...ok...thank you so much for being here"

They hug

Michelle - "Im gonna miss you so much."

Ronnie - "Dont wait 'til ______, don't wait 'til my next birthday to come ok..."

Michelle - "I won't! And I'm not gonna wait until Brody comes and contacts me..."

Ronnie - "No, no! Send that tape to me ok?"

Michelle - "I will. And you send more about him...and anything else."

Ronnie - "I'll wwalk you out."

I think the most important thing about this video is the cat. It's totally there for a reason.

Kidding.

Ok, couple things. Confirms Brody contacted Michelle and set that whole thing up. Implies Brody had feelings for V just as long she did for him. That's along time having that kind of unspoken love. Long time to keep a girl waiting...no wonder he's devastated.

The origin of the video diaries...

Anything else? Thoughts?

Yeah, I agree. Here we see why V started making the video diaries in the first place. We saw some other footage of V talking with subjects etc...I wonder of Michelle ever got copies of any of those?

So, this is 2001 and V is already talking about Brody. Fast-forward to 2007...6 years is an impossibly long time to carry a torch, especially if it was reciprocated the whole time. I think I would be devastated too...imagine being in love for years, and FINALLY getting that first date and deciding to propose...and then she dies. I would definitely blame myself and crack up a little bit, especially if I were driving!

The Last face To Facevid is ,of course,on Youtube and the tag reads "the sand never goes up" and an oldfashioned hourglass comes mind. Personally, reckon the "Beware of the dog" image from the blip.tv version is meant to refer to Arkham. Myself,I'm taking that warning seriously.

All the 48Hours vids on Youtube have new tags.The most telling is the tag of "Premonition" on the Hey brother, can you tell me the time? vid which highlights the binary message found on Planting the seeds of a broken heart. vid at blip.tv.

The binary msg was: Each set of thr3e: the premonition, the details, the conclusion. Are you faster than me?
When Ronnie and(imo-more important)Michelle leave the room they both "cross the path of a black cat". Thinking that was deliberately shown to us.

The black-and-white cat is the same one shown in the green accident image in the wiki (at least I always thought that's what it was).
http://48-hours.wetpaint.com/page/Picture+Album

ETA: the tags on youtube are: lust must rust ARG Film Noir 48 Hours in Purgatory Alternate Reality Game Brody Hawkins (lust must rust made me frown).

Nighthawk

Maybe looking through the Wiki was a bad idea, because now I'm even more confused.

I'm trying to get in to this, really I am, but there seems to be so much content and so many unanswered questions that one doesn't even know where to begin.

Anyway, I'll follow y'alls lead. I'd like to help out, but I guess I need to be pointed in the right direction.
