WEBVTT - Chapter 11: Take Back The Falls

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey Leeth the listeners take Torres here. Stay tuned for

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the next episode of Lethal Lit. But first, here's a

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>quick word from our sponsor. M Hey, Ellenators, we are

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>in need of some real talk. As you know, Hall

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>of Falls has seen its share of tragedies, and frankly,

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little over all the bad energy and I'm

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 1>not the only one that's right. Ellenator's Max here, and

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna want to listen up because we've been working

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>on something amazing, something top secret, and you get to

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>hear about it first. That's right. The reopening of the

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Montague Hotel brought way too many negative vibes of it,

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>but we thought could it just be us? So we

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>brought in a local expert from Spiritual Haven to confirm

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>our hunt. Denise, you did some of your most powerful

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>um spells m H. Scrying rituals. Crying rituals on the

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Monty and what did they tell you? It's haunted and

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 1>driving this town crazy. If the mayor was smart, he

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to order it burnt down and then salt the earth. Well,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the mayor does not have the power to do that. Okay,

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.559
<v Speaker 1>before we get the kerosine out, we have some figure

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>better plans right, Max, Yes, Yes, and with a hundred

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>percent less Arson, we have teamed up with the Montague

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to throw the biggest positivity party this town has ever seen.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>We are going to dispel all that darkness with light

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>like these glow necklaces, free for all attendees. That's right,

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're announcing it right here, right now, this Saturday

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>night at the Monty. We are going to take back

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the Falls. Take back the Falls who come ready to

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>play and dressed to sleigh because we're going to have

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>three DJs photo booth to throw back to the Montese origins,

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 1>free tarot readings courtesy of Denise, and so much more.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>But it's also a fully immersive collective energy cleansing experience

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and a fundraiser for mental health. It's gonna be lit,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 1>there will be singing, there will be dancing, and most importantly,

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>there will be grieving. Think of it as a week

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>for our dark and sinister past, but a fun week

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>with prizes and an exorcism. Come laugh and cry with me,

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>your host, Ella high Smith, Max, and a who's who

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of Hollow Falls Ians this Saturday, Let's take back the Fall.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>While my friends were busy not talking to me. They

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>were also busy putting their time to good use helping

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the town. I had myself convinced that I was the

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>only one doing something important in light of the supposed

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>music box killer, but now it felt like I was

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>treading water while they were making a difference. I hadn't

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>felt this alone since the first day I set foot

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>in the talent office. I'm tig Torres and this is

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lethal lit. Three weeks had passed since the murder of

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Reid, the latest victim of hollow Fall's newest serial killer,

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was beginning to question whether the music box

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>killer was just a figment of my imagination. With no

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>new deaths and no new evidence, was that just chasing

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a ghost was the matching m o at both crime

0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>scenes strychnine poisoning and a hollow Fall centennial music box

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>just a coincidence played up by the media and murder

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>tourism industry to focus more morbid attention on our already

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>hurting town. I've been thinking about Dr Jekyll and Mr

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Hyde again, how we all have two sides to our personalities.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>There's the part we want the world to see, and

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>there's the part we keep to ourselves. As I grow up,

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>I find that I'm really two people. There's the person

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I hope I'm becoming, and then there's the person I'm

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 1>secretly afraid I might be becoming. Play that back again

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>at okay, Jane, here we go, and what was your

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>mother Stephanie's relationship with Brock Montecue. He was her boss,

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess, but she was really in charge of the students.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I I got the impression that Brock just showed up

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>for fundraising or really whenever he smelled money. And did

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>she resent that? Not that she told me. I mean,

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't a fan, but he pretty much stayed out

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of her way. Was that the full extent of their

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>relationship as far as I know, I think harder? What

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>are you getting at? Did their relationship extend outside the school?

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you need me to spell it out? Were they

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>romantically involved with each other? Were they colleagues with benefit?

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't living in Hollow Falls at the time. I

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't resume that relationship when Brock rolled into town. I

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Two people targeted by the same killer and

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>then that's it. That usually means one thing. A jilted

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>lover out for revenge. When did your mother and father divorce?

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You're not saying my dad is involved? Are you answer

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the question? Turning the screws? Nice? Torres? Is that what

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I really sound? Figured after season one you'd be used

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to the sound of your own voice on tape, not

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that I mean, I sound like a monster. You've literally

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>faced down multiple mad men trying to carve you two bits,

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and you're bulking at a little aggressive questioning if she

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>had known, she would have broken right there, and suddenly

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you know exactly who did it. I'm not saying you

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>should go around damaging next of kin's feelings if you

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have to. But their momentary sadness or anger is nothing,

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I repeat, nothing compared to how thankful they'll be if

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>you catch the person who murdered their loved ones. I

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>guess you're right, that's him. Yes, check the connection? Secure,

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>all hooked up? All right? I am rolling? Go ahead? Okay, Hey,

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>hey Ali, it's been a few weeks. I thought I

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 1>might have scared you. Offer something. You scared me. I've

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>been expecting you to say the exact opposite since the

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>first time I called you, so that's not so bad

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to hear. I guess that does sound a little backwards.

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I just haven't heard from you in a while. I

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>know I got to take care of some things. It's

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>not Oh it's not easy living this way. Did you

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>change your mind about No? No, no, definitely not. I

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>want to see you so badly, to take your hand

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>in mind, to look into your eyes, to feel you

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>looking back into mine. Ali. It's just well, not exactly

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>easy to come back to Hollow Falls. I'm a one

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>in man and it's the one place where everyone knows

0:07:53.760 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>my face. But I figured it out. Really, how take

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:06.239
<v Speaker 1>back the falls? What Ella's party? No? No, no, that's

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>there will be all kinds of people, and uh, why

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>don't I just come to you? That would be so

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>much easier, Right, tell me where you are. I can't

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>do that. Take. I know it's not easy, but this

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is the only way it'll work. I have to see you, Ali,

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>trust me, I'll see you there, Ali, Ali, Ali, fu

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Take what are you mad about? I got it all recorded.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe this. You got him to come out

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>of hiding. Do you have any idea how amazing this

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>is going to be? For your show? Jane? I my show.

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I need to go take weight. This is a good thing.

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>We're here for foundation selling tickets for take Back the

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Falls right here. They're running out, so get them soon.

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Bobby. Okay, got you down for two. Who's next?

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>All right? I got updates, good ones, I hope. Well,

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>we've secured six contestants for the midnight drag Ball, and

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>all I had to promise was camped passes and a

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollar gift card to cold Stone for the winner.

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Nicely done. Also, Ella got Brett from a v to

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>get his crew on the cameras for the whole night,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>including extra footage for the teen Foundation. TikTok feed. But

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>but what he has a praise? Ella? He wants a

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>pair of your socks. It was not washed. Come, I'm fine.

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And then he's gross And if he tells anyone, I

0:09:50.800 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>will end him the sacrifices I make. So any tickets left, Tig. Later,

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>something suddenly killed the mood around here. When wait, she

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>told us what happened. Really, she's pretty hurt, Tig. She

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>won't return any of my texts, she blocked me on

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>social and and I know her class schedule, so I

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know how she keeps avoiding me in the halls. Um,

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>we've been giving her TIGG alerts so she can make

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>sure you don't cross paths in between periods. Sorry, listen,

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>tig all right. I've known when a lot longer than

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 1>you have, and she's loyal as hell. But once you

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>break her trust, she will you make her feel disposable,

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 1>like like you keep her around in case you want

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to dabble on a whim, and then a second later

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you'll be back off to New York or you know,

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>on some big podcast tour or something, and you'll never

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>give her another glance. I didn't mean to I wouldn't

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>do that to her. I'm just really confused about me,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>my life at freething. I have something really important to

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>tell you both about the party, and I don't know

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 1>what to do. You know what, I actually have something

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to get off my chest when I ella you might

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>want to get this for your channel still rolling when

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>come on, it's not worth disagree. Take you know what,

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>This whole place was right about you when you showed

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>up here last year. Everyone saw you come here, oh

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>New York, blah blah blah, and they could see the

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>stick up your butt from a mile away. And I thought,

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were all just being lame, so I

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 1>gave you a chance. But it turns out they were

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>right and I was the idiot. When please, can we

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>just go somewhere and talk somewhere with no phones, no recorders,

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 1>just us, Okay, what hey? Hey, anybody here want to

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 1>know a secret? Take Taures over here is still talking

<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's right, you heard me. Tig Torres podcast jerk

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>wad is still talking to the guy that tried to

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>murder her last year. Yeah, behind the backs of the

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>people who showed up to save her stupid life when

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to throw her in front of an oncoming train.

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>You forget that, tig What was it? Anna? Karenina? Well,

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>enjoy getting killed. I bet it'll be way more fun

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>than hanging out with the rest of us when maybe

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>not the best advertisement for our positivity party, No, but

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm saving it for our tenure reunion. It's going to

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>be so funny by then, I hope. Stop second guessing yourself.

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.359
<v Speaker 1>You're doing the right thing, doing your job as a journalist.

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Then why do I feel like I'm just exploiting everyone?

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>You're putting a human face on the tragedies of a town.

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>The audience deserves to see the whole story more than

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Ali or Stephanie's daughter deserve what anonymity to avoid facing reality.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Grow up, Tig, and tell the story you mean, tell

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the story you want to tell. There's only one story.

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>If you show up at a fire, it's your job

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to get an interview with someone who just came out

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of that burning building, whether the rest of their family

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>came out or not, because whoever gets that interview gets

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the ratings. The public wants to see the realist, raw

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.839
<v Speaker 1>story they can get, and you either cowboy up and

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>give it to them, or you're in the wrong business.

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>That that is that what you think your job is

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to be that cynical about everything. That's just being an adult, Tig.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Spend two seconds out of your little high school bubble,

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and you'll realize that what you call cynical is simply

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>reality for everyone else. That makes me really uncomfortable. Listen

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to me. Take You are sitting on the story of

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the American underbelly. You are surrounded by the cultural and

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>economic forces that lead a person to murder. You can

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>deliver firsthand reporting of what makes Ali Price feel like killing?

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.080

<v Speaker 1>Hi everyone, I'm Ella high Smith and I want to

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>welcome you all to the Montague Hotel and the Take

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Back the Fulls Dance. I just wanted to say a

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>few words to all my fans out there. Thank you.

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>As you know, we're raising awareness tonight for mental health.

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that one in five teenagers is affected

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 1>by a mental health issue? One in five, and here

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in Hollow Falls that number is way higher. We've been

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>through a lot together in the Falls, and we put

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>on a brave face. But acting strong isn't always the

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>same as being strong. It isn't always obvious when someone

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>is suffering from a mental health issue. Look around this

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>room right now, Come on, guys, look around one in

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>five people. Some of us are suffering and staying quiet

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>about it. Well, tonight is about letting our real selves

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 1>be seen. Counselors are on hand if you want to talk.

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>We are stronger together together, there's no reason to be afraid.

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>And I want to remind everyone about hashtag falls strong.

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>If there's something you want to say or if you

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>need support, use hashtag falls strong. All right, let's dance.

<v Speaker 1>guys who couldn't pay up, A padded cell where they

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:11.280

<v Speaker 1>it out. We have to go in. I don't like

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.119
<v Speaker 1>this feels like a trap. We don't have a choice

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 1>if Walter's already ingested the strick nine. But what if

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.679

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 1>He needs help now. I'm going in, Walter. He's still conscious, barely.

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Where's the song coming from? It's there on the floor

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in the corner. The killer was just here, or it
