1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Hey, Lethal listeners tig torres here, stay tuned for the

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: next episode of Lethal lit But first, a quick word

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: from today's sponsor. Oh my god, I got it's Superget this,

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: get this one table. They're all one killer. Just returning

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: on me the true about school. Come on, get the

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: hell hop three times in case you couldn't tell that

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: was intense. This whole town has legit lost their minds.

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: To bring our new listeners up to speed, this is

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: my lone girl on a Mission podcast. I'm back in

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: my hometown of Hollow Falls trying to crack open the

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: lit killer case. The lit killer was a serial murderer

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: who scream queened this town a decade ago, leaving bodies

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: posed like literary references from your high school reading list.

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: My aunt, Beth, his last victim, took all the blame,

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: and since I know she wasn't the killer, I'm back

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: for justice only. I didn't count on the real murderer

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: making an encore appearance, resulting in one very dead Tony

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: del Canto folly, and I witnessed his body drop from

19
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: three stories up. Now the whole town is freaking out

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: because they're open and shut. Case isn't so shut anymore,

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: and guess who's to blame. So let's cut back to

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: Hollow Falls High, where you're fearless heroine was hiding in

23
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: a closet. No, oh, hey, Principal Block, come with me.

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm tig Torres and this is Lethal lit I've ever

25
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: been so obsessed with something that you couldn't eat or sleep,

26
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: that's me this case. My aunt's innocence has been part

27
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: of my DNA since we left this town years ago.

28
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: But if you've been plugged into the real freaks of

29
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Hollow Falls, then you already know that. Less well known

30
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: is the fact that Hollow Falls and its residents are

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: invested in keeping the lit killer dead and buried. So

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Tony's murder, even hinting that the lit killer is back,

33
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: things around here are going to go from zero to

34
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Riverdale real quick. Maybe my new pals at the Talent

35
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: the student newspaper will help out. Maybe not, But first

36
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I had to get through this meeting with Principal Block. Mrs.

37
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to make this brief. Exactly what in the

38
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: hell do you think you're doing? Principal Ronald Block is

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: a Hollow Falls lifer super imposing I think infinity war

40
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Thanos minus the whole purple part. He lives alone and

41
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: has been working at the high school since graduating college.

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: What does that tell us, Well, it means Block was

43
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: around the first time the lit killer terrorized the town.

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: It also means he wants to keep the glassy eyed

45
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: status quo at Hollow Falls High. Is he a suspect?

46
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet, but until I know otherwise, I

47
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: have to treat him like one. Let's go back to

48
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: our chat. Are you listening, Yes, sir, I'm just still

49
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: a bit freaked out. You can relax now. I know

50
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: you've been through and seen a lot. As much as

51
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: I blame you for bringing this new chaos into my school,

52
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't want any of my students being chased around

53
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: like some looney Tunes clip. So take a breath for

54
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: the moment you're in what they call a safe space.

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Block showing me even an ounce of compassion through me,

56
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: as did the creepy stuffed bird on his desk. His

57
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: name was Henry and he was the school's original mascot,

58
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the reason they're the Hollow Fall Hawks. But historical mascot

59
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: or no, Keeping an old dead bird on your desk

60
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: is well it's kind of glass a hollow falls. All right,

61
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Mr Doris, we're done here. One more thing, though, Principal

62
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Block seems the resemblance to your aunt isn't just skin deep.

63
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I said you could go, Mr Doris, and I totally will.

64
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: But first, can you tell me anything about Tony's case?

65
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: Did you not hear what I said? Are they reopening

66
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the lit killer case? I'm not trying to cause trouble.

67
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I will give you major trouble unless you stand up,

68
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: turn around, and walk out. This instant trouble was something

69
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I could count on finding me no matter what. When

70
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Max and I found that first tape of my aunt

71
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Beth's recordings at the Star Diner, I knew it wouldn't

72
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: be the last, but the clue gave me some doubts.

73
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I figured out the quote. It was from a clockwork

74
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: arnge by Anthony Burgess. Is it better for a man

75
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: to have chosen evil than to have good imposed upon him?

76
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: But it was hard a solid GPS pen. I needed

77
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: to brainstorm with Ali Win and Max the talent crew

78
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: if we had any hope of finding that next tape

79
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: or you got snagged by Principal Mussolini. Yeah, it was

80
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: super lit. But that bird, right, Henry has reserved seating

81
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: in all of my nightmares. Okay, So in terms of clues,

82
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: Who've got the free fall and clockwork orange quotes plus

83
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: the note from Tony's good morning Losers. So this is

84
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: scary on grande listeners. Meet Ella high Smith, spoiled daughter

85
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: of the mayor of Hollow Falls, and until a few

86
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: days ago, the arm candy of one Tony del Canto.

87
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: Since then, she's kind of been basking in the veiled

88
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: glow of her new gig girlfriend in mourning. So here's

89
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: the deal, freaks and geeks, all this serial killer talk

90
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: from little Miss Murder has got to stop, right about

91
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: the important stuff. I'm the tragedy here. My boyfriend, my

92
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: sweet strong Tony is gone Hill and Tig. Don't think

93
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: I didn't notice. Tony's death was right after he had

94
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a run in with you Big city Torres back with

95
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: a podcast full of lies about a new killer, when

96
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: it was her psycho aunt who racked up the body

97
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: count in the first place. So this want to be

98
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: true crime doc of yours has got to go. It's

99
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: distracting from Daddy and all the good things he's doing

100
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: for this town. So your boyfriend got acts, but you

101
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: want us to write about your daddy and you way

102
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: a compartmentalize your grief, Electra, I don't know or care

103
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: what that means. Just don't tell me how to grieve.

104
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: Tony was my sweet baybear and you need to leave

105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: him out of this pathetic side hustle. Can I just

106
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: ask what conceiler you're using to mask your too your

107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: stained eyes, because it is doing a fabulous job. Self

108
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: censor yourselves before someone else does it for you. Okay,

109
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: configure yourselves off blast as if we needed more drama.

110
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: But Ella high Smith would have to wait when and

111
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: I had another tape to find? Oh, this place, it's disgusting.

112
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Why do I get pared on all the dusty and

113
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: gross missions when and I have just walked into a

114
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: used bookstore known as the book Barge. The place wreaked

115
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: of aged cat pie and lemon scented lysol. While stalling

116
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: out on deciphering where my aunt's clockwork orange clue was pointing,

117
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: we found out a fun fact. Anthony Burgess's dystopian book

118
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: was banned in Hollow Falls, well mostly banned. You couldn't

119
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: find it at the school or at the library, which

120
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: left the book Barge the dumpiest of dumps as our

121
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: last hope. So far we've found two copies of the

122
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: book with nothing special in them. Why would anybody come

123
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: in here? Much less bodish? Hi? Uh? Do you have

124
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: any other copies of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess?

125
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: I can only find these? What do you see which

126
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: to get? Okay, hey, wait a second, you're the tourist

127
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: kid christ a lot of helps she was. In fact,

128
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: she asked us to leave a few minutes later. If

129
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: I hadn't looked at the clock above the register, we

130
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: probably would have two. But there it was orange. H nothing,

131
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: It's just the hour hand on your clock is orange.

132
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: It's funny. Why is that funny? Really? Because the book?

133
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: Never mind? Um? Actually, ma'am, do you have a band aid?

134
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: By any chance? This looks like a cvous to you?

135
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: Girly customer service here is ond? I know, I'm sorry,

136
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: but I think I cut my ankle on one of

137
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: your shelves and I don't want to get blood on

138
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: your floor. And all right, Jesus age, hang on, let

139
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: me go check in the back. Last thing I need

140
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: to sing the story in her defense. I was up

141
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: to no good, and when she came back, she caught

142
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: me balanced on a stool with the clock in my

143
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: hands busted. In that moment, I did the only thing

144
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: I could think of. What did all you do to

145
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: get back here? Like cloth? Slow down for plea? Please

146
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: be another tea? If I had arrested for stealing a

147
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: quick down, yes, but I found it to be kidding

148
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: Clock her Grange, You were so not my favorite books,

149
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: but I could seriously kis this clock right now? Are you?

150
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: The tape we found at the book Barge gave us

151
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: another snippet of Aunt Beth recording her notes from the

152
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: original lit Killer murders. We brought it back to the

153
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Talent offices to give it a listen. It shows what

154
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: you found. Guys. You should have seen that place. You

155
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: should have some serious Jomo right now kissing out That

156
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: means Win hated it, Alexa. Fast forward to the Hide

157
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: and Seek Intrigue. Brace yourself for synergy. This new Man

158
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: Beth tape zoomed in on one of the Lip Killer's

159
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: first victims, Tony Delcanto's dad in Big Tone. Delcanto was

160
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: a local businessman with the spotty record and the varsity

161
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: football coach at Hollow Falls High had a reputation for

162
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: being hot headed, violent and prone to screaming at the kids.

163
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: I was already looking into him because of his business dealings.

164
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Some associates had been caught up in some shady stuff.

165
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: But I think ever connected back to Delcanto directly. When

166
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: we ended up dead beaten to death in the back

167
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: of a local dive bar, the Wet Whistle, A lot

168
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: of people chalked it up to karma, but people don't

169
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: get beaten to death in Hollow Falls, and definitely not

170
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: with stones. A few weeks after Tony Sor's body was found,

171
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Aunt Beth returned to the crime scene. Sneaking into the

172
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: office in the back of the bar, she discovered a

173
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: beat up copy of The Lottery and Other Stories by

174
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Sure Jackson, shoved between two stacks of invoices. She also

175
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: knew the Hollow Falls p D had been in a

176
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: hurry to clear the case, so a tattered paperback wasn't

177
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: going to raise any of their thick eyebrows. Why did

178
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: it catch her attention? Well, if you're not familiar with

179
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: the story, I'll give you a spoiler. It ends with

180
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: a death by stoning. It was a type written message

181
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: on a note card stepped into the middle of the

182
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: book at the conclusion of the Lottery short story. Here's

183
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: what it said. I hope you've enjoyed the first few

184
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: chapters of our tail. It's quite the epic saga, I

185
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: promise you, and you've only just begun. Reminds me of

186
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: a book I once loved. Stuff your eyes with wonder,

187
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: he said, live as if you dropped dead in ten seconds.

188
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: Such a strong, powerful climax. Perhaps I'll save that for

189
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: my final chapter. But that's still aways away. No happy

190
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: rating the quote, at least according to Steiner's from then

191
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: hype link, Bradberry seminar hold that thought you guys right, Victorus,

192
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: This pirate radio operation is done, and I believe you

193
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: have a few things that belong to us. That's Detective

194
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: Laura Carver again. It's a safe bet to say she

195
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: doesn't want the case reopened. Kind of makes you look

196
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: bad when a serial killer, you said, committed suicide is

197
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: up and murdering again, right, filer under suspicious. These officers

198
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: are here to collect the evidence you're withheld and therefore contaminated,

199
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: And the notes over fast and we might not have

200
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: any problems. We'll also be confiscating a recording epintment. Why Mtorius,

201
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: I hope I don't need to remind you of our

202
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: little chat. Close the notes, good eye, Principal Detective Lane,

203
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: grab those. Your little d I Y radio show has

204
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: been draw some unwanted attention. That was the hidden evidence

205
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: gives me more than enough reason. This is total Mr Price, Sorry, kids,

206
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: but these notes are considered evidence in connection with a

207
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: recent homicide. US do you think serious? Right now? Hey,

208
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: it's my laptop? Is this even legal? Don't you need

209
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: some kind of probable cause? School grounds tour? As what

210
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: Principal Block says goes he gets an anonymous tip, we

211
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: act on it. I didn't realize anonymous was spelled e

212
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: l l A real. So what connects my podcast equipment

213
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to the murder? Can you at least tell me that? Listen, kid,

214
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't have to climb jack to you. Boys. Let's

215
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: wrap this up and move out. This is such b

216
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: s So sorry, Tig Tig you okay, we'll say something.

217
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: Did you guys hear that they said recent thomicide? Looks

218
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: like the cops are treating Tony's death like a homicide.

219
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: Not a suicide. That's huge. We need to keep your

220
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: eyes on the prize. Ace. They didn't get your MP's teapes,

221
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: did they? They did? But I have copies on the clouds,

222
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: So we're good. What can we do to help? I

223
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: know what we can do, what we should we discuss? What?

224
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: Where are you guys going? Oh, typical dudes so great

225
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: at communication? Hey? You sure you're okay? You're shaking. I'm no,

226
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm actually not okay. I need more allies. I need

227
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: more evidence, and I need to keep getting the word out.

228
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: They can't just shut me up. Just take everything I've

229
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: worked to build. Hey, you're not alone. We are with

Speaker 1: just I don't know what to do next. I need

232
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: to think. Damn, I can't stop my hands from shading here,

233
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: grab my hand. Just stop and breathe for a second.

234
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I mean, I'm sure my clammy book barge

235
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: hands aren't going to help that much. But no, this

236
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: it's nice. Thanks. When it's cool. I like you, Taurus,

264
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,440

265
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: in this town don't like being recorded. But we managed

266
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: to calm Sam down long enough to get a few

267
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: minutes with him. Sam, seriously, thank you for doing this. Yeah,

268

Speaker 1: you're totally doing us a solid. Don't let me yet.

269
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking my food will go. The best I can

270
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: do is give you a few tips, and if you're smart,

271
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: you'll take him to herd. I could save your life.

272
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm all your Sam, But do you mind if I

273
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: ask you a few quick things first? Okay? Shoot, So

274
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: you worked at the Hall of Fall's ledger right for

275
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: my aunt path Yeah, for a while. She was. She

276
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: was great. A few people in this life are, you know,

277
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: genuinely good inside, but she was. We were both on

278
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: the cop speaking though I did some municipal reporting too,

279
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: small paper problems and all that. When the lid killer arrived.

280
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: It was all hands on, dick, What was that like?

281
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: It was nuts? What do you think this is a

282
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: It's a strange town. The buzzing't even before the first

283
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: body was discovered and your men she ran into that

284
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: case headed on. She was fearless and innocent. Right you

285
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: believe that too? Don't you look at it? Do you

286
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: want to prove your aunt wasn't the likuler dig up

287
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,720

288
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: to after your aunt died? What who is that? I

289
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: thought Beth Torres was the last her back. As McClellan said,

290
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: the medium is the message. Don't just take everything and

291
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: face value. You get stuff in this down when someone

292
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: wants you to have it, don't forget that anything else

293
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: you can tell us, Sam yea quit now? Why do

294
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: you still can't that? This case eight year in alive

295
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: and you don't want to end up like her. The

296
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: best cases, you'll wind up like me and I barely

297
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: even get out of the house these days. The lind

298
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: killer will break you. Your heart is sold, your spirit?

299
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: Can you watch it? This sweater is already the perfect

300
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,639

303
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: What that boy went full baby driver on the cops

304
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: and try to steal your stuff back with a moral?

305
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: That's really stupid and sweet? Sweet or not? We had

306
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: a problem when and Max noted he wasn't about to

307
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: get bailed out by any parentals anytime soon. But after

308
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: our run ins with the cops, we needed to tag

309
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: in an actual adult on this one, so we called

310
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: up the Talents faculty advisor, Harry Levinson. Hey, guys, it's

311
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Mr Levinson. I just wanted to let you know about Ali.

312
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm at the police station. It might be a little while,

313
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's all just a big misunderstanding. I'll

314
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: let you know when I have more figures. He's already

315
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: down there in old dead mode. Such a daddy. I

316
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: feel like I owe Ali for trying to get my

317
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: stuff back. I'm going to head over. Hey, did you

318
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: guys notice there was a car still out there on

319
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: the lot. Yeah, the red camera probably block because he

320
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: has like zero homeland. If he's here, let's go talk

321
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: to him. Are you insane. The first thing he'll ask

322
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: is why we're here. Look, Black knows something about Tony's death,

323
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: and if there's any intel to get I want it.

324
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: I can't believe you guys are talking me into this.

325
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: Come on, Max, I thought you gave up that Damsel

326
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: in Distress act in first grade. Okay, First of all,

327
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: Jordan Harris consistently stole from my cubby hole, and I

328
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: had everybody to be afraid. Somebody's are right his door,

329
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: it's open and the lights are off. Well, everyone achieves

330
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: serenity on the who you okay? So us? Yeah, I'm fine.

331
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: I just slipped on something. Um, hold on, it's starting

332
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: here and let me still play on my phone. Uh no,

333
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: no way. That is blood on the floor and we

334
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: are officially in the danger zone. It's coming from Block's office.

335
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? We need to get out of

336
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: here and call the cost could be heard in that.

337
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that sucks for them and all but

338
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: hashtag I'm with her. We need to get out of

339
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: here and call the boys in Blue. Okay, wait here, Chase,

340
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: don't Yellow, you need back up. This is aft. I

341
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking. This goes against everything you learned

342
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: from watching horror movies. Oh yeah, this is bad, This

343
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: is so bad. Oh my god, only ship the face

344
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: or parts of it belonged to Principal Block. I say

345
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: parts of it, because his head was sliced in half

346
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: by an axe. The entire office was splattered with blood.

347
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: In less than a week, I've been inches away from

348
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: two dead bodies, people I've seen alive hours before. I

349
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: don't I'm not sure yet I can describe what that.

350
00:22:52,119 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: This feels like Sarah Party from High Principle Lock was

351
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: half dead on school ground residence, wondering if the town

352
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: toorious serial murderer blood killer has returned. All right, that's enough,

353
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: we need more info. We'll circle back to you tomorrow.

354
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: In the meantime, enough with the podcast, Torres, So what

355
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: is it then? Certainly not a suicide. Don't push my kid,

356
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: like I said, shut it. You'll be in some pis.

357
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: You can't just silence us. You know, words already out

358
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: and people need to know what's happening. Let us handle it.

359
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: Go on home, Hey, Detective Carver, what now? Torres? Every

360
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Crime and Punishment. Frez Kolnikov slices Lizabetta's face in half

361
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: with an act. We're looking for real evidence, not ap

362
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: English highlights. Okay, like the note, but not does your

363
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: name on it? Tig? That's see scary stuff. Did you

364
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: steal evidence from a crime scene? Again? Torresm Is that

365
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing? I found the note post Principal Block

366
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: body discovery. I almost missed it while trying not to

367
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: look at the shell of a man I once thought

368
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: was a suspect. But when I picked up that note card,

369
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what it was. Hello again, dear Tig,

370
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: so nice to see you. It really does feel like

371
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: old times, though it'll be a spell before you reach

372
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: the heights of our dearly departed Beth. She did have

373
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: a rough go of it there in the end. Huh,

374
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: But as Dostoyevsky said, pain and suffering are always inevitable

375
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: for a large intelligence and a deep heart. Let's hope

376
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: you and your little squad survive long enough to get

377
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: to the next chapter. I knew the lid killer was

378
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: back the second I'd seen Tony Delcanto's dead body. Now

379
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: the cops knew they were back to on the next

380
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: episode of Letha Litt, What do you mean, Mr Levinson? Well,

381
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't always say it. It just felt to me

382
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: that your aunt Beth was a bit off. You've probably

383
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: already heard about her obsession with the case, but it

384
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: seemed she was so utterly consumed with understanding, with getting

385
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: in his head that she may have taken it too far.
