Oh my god, I got it's Superget this, 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.320 get this one table. They're all one killer. Just returning 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:24.680 on me the true about school. Come on, get the 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:31.160 hell hop three times in case you couldn't tell that 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:36.479 was intense. This whole town has legit lost their minds. 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.000 To bring our new listeners up to speed, this is 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.920 my lone girl on a Mission podcast. I'm back in 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:48.000 my hometown of Hollow Falls trying to crack open the 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.600 lit killer case. The lit killer was a serial murderer 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.880 who scream queened this town a decade ago, leaving bodies 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.040 posed like literary references from your high school reading list. 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.320 My aunt, Beth, his last victim, took all the blame, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.839 and since I know she wasn't the killer, I'm back 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.760 for justice only. I didn't count on the real murderer 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:14.240 making an encore appearance, resulting in one very dead Tony 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.319 del Canto folly, and I witnessed his body drop from 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.120 three stories up. Now the whole town is freaking out 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.920 because they're open and shut. Case isn't so shut anymore, 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:30.320 and guess who's to blame. So let's cut back to 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.959 Hollow Falls High, where you're fearless heroine was hiding in 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:43.800 a closet. No, oh, hey, Principal Block, come with me. 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:53.120 I'm tig Torres and this is Lethal lit I've ever 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.160 been so obsessed with something that you couldn't eat or sleep, 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:02.160 that's me this case. My aunt's innocence has been part 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.840 of my DNA since we left this town years ago. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.640 But if you've been plugged into the real freaks of 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.520 Hollow Falls, then you already know that. Less well known 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.960 is the fact that Hollow Falls and its residents are 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.720 invested in keeping the lit killer dead and buried. So 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.440 Tony's murder, even hinting that the lit killer is back, 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.400 things around here are going to go from zero to 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.400 Riverdale real quick. Maybe my new pals at the Talent 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.760 the student newspaper will help out. Maybe not, But first 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:41.040 I had to get through this meeting with Principal Block. Mrs. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.240 I'm going to make this brief. Exactly what in the 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.799 hell do you think you're doing? Principal Ronald Block is 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:54.239 a Hollow Falls lifer super imposing I think infinity war 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.000 Thanos minus the whole purple part. He lives alone and 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.840 has been working at the high school since graduating college. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.480 What does that tell us, Well, it means Block was 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.240 around the first time the lit killer terrorized the town. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.120 It also means he wants to keep the glassy eyed 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.160 status quo at Hollow Falls High. Is he a suspect? 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.120 I'm not sure yet, but until I know otherwise, I 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.680 have to treat him like one. Let's go back to 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.840 our chat. Are you listening, Yes, sir, I'm just still 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.560 a bit freaked out. You can relax now. I know 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.160 you've been through and seen a lot. As much as 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.840 I blame you for bringing this new chaos into my school, 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.160 I don't want any of my students being chased around 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:43.480 like some looney Tunes clip. So take a breath for 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.120 the moment you're in what they call a safe space. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.080 Block showing me even an ounce of compassion through me, 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.760 as did the creepy stuffed bird on his desk. His 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.600 name was Henry and he was the school's original mascot, 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:03.080 the reason they're the Hollow Fall Hawks. But historical mascot 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.600 or no, Keeping an old dead bird on your desk 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.680 is well it's kind of glass a hollow falls. All right, 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.240 Mr Doris, we're done here. One more thing, though, Principal 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.200 Block seems the resemblance to your aunt isn't just skin deep. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.800 I said you could go, Mr Doris, and I totally will. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.279 But first, can you tell me anything about Tony's case? 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.960 Did you not hear what I said? Are they reopening 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.320 the lit killer case? I'm not trying to cause trouble. 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.680 I will give you major trouble unless you stand up, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:36.480 turn around, and walk out. This instant trouble was something 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.560 I could count on finding me no matter what. When 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.680 Max and I found that first tape of my aunt 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.880 Beth's recordings at the Star Diner, I knew it wouldn't 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.840 be the last, but the clue gave me some doubts. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.920 I figured out the quote. It was from a clockwork 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.960 arnge by Anthony Burgess. Is it better for a man 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.240 to have chosen evil than to have good imposed upon him? 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.640 But it was hard a solid GPS pen. I needed 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.520 to brainstorm with Ali Win and Max the talent crew 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.760 if we had any hope of finding that next tape 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.520 or you got snagged by Principal Mussolini. Yeah, it was 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:18.960 super lit. But that bird, right, Henry has reserved seating 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.120 in all of my nightmares. Okay, So in terms of clues, 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.159 Who've got the free fall and clockwork orange quotes plus 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.680 the note from Tony's good morning Losers. So this is 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:33.839 scary on grande listeners. Meet Ella high Smith, spoiled daughter 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.080 of the mayor of Hollow Falls, and until a few 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.480 days ago, the arm candy of one Tony del Canto. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.400 Since then, she's kind of been basking in the veiled 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:49.000 glow of her new gig girlfriend in mourning. So here's 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.040 the deal, freaks and geeks, all this serial killer talk 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.040 from little Miss Murder has got to stop, right about 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.680 the important stuff. I'm the tragedy here. My boyfriend, my 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:05.680 sweet strong Tony is gone Hill and Tig. Don't think 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.560 I didn't notice. Tony's death was right after he had 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.440 a run in with you Big city Torres back with 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.400 a podcast full of lies about a new killer, when 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.640 it was her psycho aunt who racked up the body 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.960 count in the first place. So this want to be 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.240 true crime doc of yours has got to go. It's 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.200 distracting from Daddy and all the good things he's doing 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.520 for this town. So your boyfriend got acts, but you 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.600 want us to write about your daddy and you way 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.360 a compartmentalize your grief, Electra, I don't know or care 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.040 what that means. Just don't tell me how to grieve. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.920 Tony was my sweet baybear and you need to leave 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.560 him out of this pathetic side hustle. Can I just 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.000 ask what conceiler you're using to mask your too your 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.520 stained eyes, because it is doing a fabulous job. Self 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.560 censor yourselves before someone else does it for you. Okay, 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:56.320 configure yourselves off blast as if we needed more drama. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.800 But Ella high Smith would have to wait when and 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:05.880 I had another tape to find? Oh, this place, it's disgusting. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.320 Why do I get pared on all the dusty and 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.400 gross missions when and I have just walked into a 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.120 used bookstore known as the book Barge. The place wreaked 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:20.440 of aged cat pie and lemon scented lysol. While stalling 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.960 out on deciphering where my aunt's clockwork orange clue was pointing, 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.640 we found out a fun fact. Anthony Burgess's dystopian book 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:33.880 was banned in Hollow Falls, well mostly banned. You couldn't 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.400 find it at the school or at the library, which 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.480 left the book Barge the dumpiest of dumps as our 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.840 last hope. So far we've found two copies of the 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.120 book with nothing special in them. Why would anybody come 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:52.200 in here? Much less bodish? Hi? Uh? Do you have 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.520 any other copies of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess? 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.000 I can only find these? What do you see which 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.680 to get? Okay, hey, wait a second, you're the tourist 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:10.400 kid christ a lot of helps she was. In fact, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.480 she asked us to leave a few minutes later. If 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.560 I hadn't looked at the clock above the register, we 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:23.760 probably would have two. But there it was orange. H nothing, 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.240 It's just the hour hand on your clock is orange. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:32.160 It's funny. Why is that funny? Really? Because the book? 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.840 Never mind? Um? Actually, ma'am, do you have a band aid? 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.760 By any chance? This looks like a cvous to you? 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.880 Girly customer service here is ond? I know, I'm sorry, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.320 but I think I cut my ankle on one of 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.600 your shelves and I don't want to get blood on 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:55.439 your floor. And all right, Jesus age, hang on, let 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.800 me go check in the back. Last thing I need 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.960 to sing the story in her defense. I was up 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.920 to no good, and when she came back, she caught 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.679 me balanced on a stool with the clock in my 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.840 hands busted. In that moment, I did the only thing 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.800 I could think of. What did all you do to 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:23.880 get back here? Like cloth? Slow down for plea? Please 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.240 be another tea? If I had arrested for stealing a 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:31.480 quick down, yes, but I found it to be kidding 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.760 Clock her Grange, You were so not my favorite books, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.199 but I could seriously kis this clock right now? Are you? 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.680 The tape we found at the book Barge gave us 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.200 another snippet of Aunt Beth recording her notes from the 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.120 original lit Killer murders. We brought it back to the 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.800 Talent offices to give it a listen. It shows what 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.080 you found. Guys. You should have seen that place. You 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.800 should have some serious Jomo right now kissing out That 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.400 means Win hated it, Alexa. Fast forward to the Hide 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:02.440 and Seek Intrigue. Brace yourself for synergy. This new Man 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.200 Beth tape zoomed in on one of the Lip Killer's 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:13.000 first victims, Tony Delcanto's dad in Big Tone. Delcanto was 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.280 a local businessman with the spotty record and the varsity 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.959 football coach at Hollow Falls High had a reputation for 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.439 being hot headed, violent and prone to screaming at the kids. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.840 I was already looking into him because of his business dealings. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.880 Some associates had been caught up in some shady stuff. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.400 But I think ever connected back to Delcanto directly. When 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.440 we ended up dead beaten to death in the back 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.560 of a local dive bar, the Wet Whistle, A lot 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.640 of people chalked it up to karma, but people don't 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.040 get beaten to death in Hollow Falls, and definitely not 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.720 with stones. A few weeks after Tony Sor's body was found, 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.360 Aunt Beth returned to the crime scene. Sneaking into the 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.000 office in the back of the bar, she discovered a 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.679 beat up copy of The Lottery and Other Stories by 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:04.120 Sure Jackson, shoved between two stacks of invoices. She also 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:05.839 knew the Hollow Falls p D had been in a 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.920 hurry to clear the case, so a tattered paperback wasn't 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.640 going to raise any of their thick eyebrows. Why did 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.080 it catch her attention? Well, if you're not familiar with 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.720 the story, I'll give you a spoiler. It ends with 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:23.280 a death by stoning. It was a type written message 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.600 on a note card stepped into the middle of the 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.760 book at the conclusion of the Lottery short story. Here's 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.600 what it said. I hope you've enjoyed the first few 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.120 chapters of our tail. It's quite the epic saga, I 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.680 promise you, and you've only just begun. Reminds me of 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.800 a book I once loved. Stuff your eyes with wonder, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:48.200 he said, live as if you dropped dead in ten seconds. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.880 Such a strong, powerful climax. Perhaps I'll save that for 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.960 my final chapter. But that's still aways away. No happy 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:01.040 rating the quote, at least according to Steiner's from then 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:13.920 hype link, Bradberry seminar hold that thought you guys right, Victorus, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.360 This pirate radio operation is done, and I believe you 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.320 have a few things that belong to us. That's Detective 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.360 Laura Carver again. It's a safe bet to say she 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.160 doesn't want the case reopened. Kind of makes you look 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.880 bad when a serial killer, you said, committed suicide is 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:35.200 up and murdering again, right, filer under suspicious. These officers 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.800 are here to collect the evidence you're withheld and therefore contaminated, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.200 And the notes over fast and we might not have 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:46.920 any problems. We'll also be confiscating a recording epintment. Why Mtorius, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.040 I hope I don't need to remind you of our 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:54.640 little chat. Close the notes, good eye, Principal Detective Lane, 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.640 grab those. Your little d I Y radio show has 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.360 been draw some unwanted attention. That was the hidden evidence 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:09.199 gives me more than enough reason. This is total Mr Price, Sorry, kids, 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.480 but these notes are considered evidence in connection with a 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:16.680 recent homicide. US do you think serious?

As what 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.360 Principal Block says goes he gets an anonymous tip, we 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.959 act on it. I didn't realize anonymous was spelled e 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.960 l l A real. So what connects my podcast equipment 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.040 to the murder? Can you at least tell me that?

Looks 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.000 like the cops are treating Tony's death like a homicide. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.760 Not a suicide. That's huge. We need to keep your 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.800 eyes on the prize. Ace. They didn't get your MP's teapes, 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.640 did they? They did?

Just stop and breathe for a second. 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.720 I'm sorry. I mean, I'm sure my clammy book barge 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.280 hands aren't going to help that much.

Am Beth 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.560 mentioning him on this new tape? Though, I bet you anything, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.440 he's still in town. Come on, let's go. Are you 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:50.840 sure you're ready to? Yeah? I'm sure. Whatever.

Hey, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:19.600 Mr Steiner, Sam Steiner, I'm take Truss Beth Trust's niece. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:25.440 And I was wondering funny thing. It seems like people 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.200 in this town don't like being recorded. But we managed 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.120 to calm Sam down long enough to get a few 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.320 minutes with him. Sam, seriously, thank you for doing this. Yeah, 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.040 you're totally doing us a solid. Don't let me yet. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.640 I'm thinking my food will go. The best I can 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.440 do is give you a few tips, and if you're smart, 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.679 you'll take him to herd. I could save your life. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.600 I'm all your Sam, But do you mind if I 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:56.920 ask you a few quick things first? Okay? Shoot, So 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.080 you worked at the Hall of Fall's ledger right for 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:05.080 my aunt path Yeah, for a while. She was. She 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.040 was great. A few people in this life are, you know, 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:13.240 genuinely good inside, but she was. We were both on 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.480 the cop speaking though I did some municipal reporting too, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:21.399 small paper problems and all that. When the lid killer arrived. 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.040 It was all hands on, dick, What was that like? 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.399 It was nuts? What do you think this is a 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.240 It's a strange town. The buzzing't even before the first 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:39.119 body was discovered and your men she ran into that 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:44.040 case headed on. She was fearless and innocent. Right you 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.480 believe that too? Don't you look at it? Do you 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.000 want to prove your aunt wasn't the likuler dig up 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.720 the next person? The liquilar murdered the person he got 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:58.000 to after your aunt died? What who is that? I 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.320 thought Beth Torres was the last her back. As McClellan said, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.000 the medium is the message. Don't just take everything and 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.280 face value. You get stuff in this down when someone 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:14.880 wants you to have it, don't forget that anything else 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.760 you can tell us, Sam yea quit now? Why do 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.560 you still can't that? This case eight year in alive 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.000 and you don't want to end up like her. The 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.639 best cases, you'll wind up like me and I barely 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.479 even get out of the house these days. The lind 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.320 killer will break you. Your heart is sold, your spirit? 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.960 Can you watch it? This sweater is already the perfect 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.639 amount of distress. Hey win take I'm glad I found 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:53.240 you. You You guys ready for some tea one over here? Hope? No, 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:57.920 that's not what that means. What's up next? Always been arrested? 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.000 What that boy went full baby driver on the cops 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.400 and try to steal your stuff back with a moral? 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:10.760 That's really stupid and sweet? Sweet or not? We had 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.560 a problem when and Max noted he wasn't about to 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:17.200 get bailed out by any parentals anytime soon. But after 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.120 our run ins with the cops, we needed to tag 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.880 in an actual adult on this one, so we called 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:26.280 up the Talents faculty advisor, Harry Levinson. Hey, guys, it's 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.960 Mr Levinson. I just wanted to let you know about Ali. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.040 I'm at the police station. It might be a little while, 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.920 but I'm sure it's all just a big misunderstanding. I'll 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.959 let you know when I have more figures. He's already 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.639 down there in old dead mode. Such a daddy. I 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.359 feel like I owe Ali for trying to get my 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.960 stuff back. I'm going to head over. Hey, did you 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:48.600 guys notice there was a car still out there on 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.480 the lot. Yeah, the red camera probably block because he 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.440 has like zero homeland. If he's here, let's go talk 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.200 to him. Are you insane. The first thing he'll ask 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.840 is why we're here. Look, Black knows something about Tony's death, 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.560 and if there's any intel to get I want it. 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.919 I can't believe you guys are talking me into this. 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.640 Come on, Max, I thought you gave up that Damsel 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.520 in Distress act in first grade. Okay, First of all, 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.959 Jordan Harris consistently stole from my cubby hole, and I 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:22.520 had everybody to be afraid. Somebody's are right his door, 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.960 it's open and the lights are off. Well, everyone achieves 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:32.920 serenity on the who you okay? So us? Yeah, I'm fine. 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.960 I just slipped on something. Um, hold on, it's starting 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:41.320 here and let me still play on my phone. Uh no, 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:43.800 no way. That is blood on the floor and we 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.560 are officially in the danger zone. It's coming from Block's office. 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.439 Are you kidding me? We need to get out of 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:51.399 here and call the cost could be heard in that. 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:53.399 I mean, obviously that sucks for them and all but 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.760 hashtag I'm with her. We need to get out of 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.920 here and call the boys in Blue. Okay, wait here, Chase, 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:05.119 don't Yellow, you need back up. This is aft. I 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.920 know what you're thinking. This goes against everything you learned 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:18.200 from watching horror movies. Oh yeah, this is bad, This 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:24.399 is so bad. Oh my god, only ship the face 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.720 or parts of it belonged to Principal Block. I say 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.879 parts of it, because his head was sliced in half 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:37.320 by an axe. The entire office was splattered with blood. 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.360 In less than a week, I've been inches away from 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:46.679 two dead bodies, people I've seen alive hours before. I 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:50.800 don't I'm not sure yet I can describe what that. 0:22:52.119 --> 0:23:05.480 This feels like Sarah Party from High Principle Lock was 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:11.400 half dead on school ground residence, wondering if the town 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:17.520 toorious serial murderer blood killer has returned. All right, that's enough, 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.400 we need more info. We'll circle back to you tomorrow. 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.359 In the meantime, enough with the podcast, Torres, So what 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:29.120 is it then? Certainly not a suicide. Don't push my kid, 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.560 like I said, shut it. You'll be in some pis. 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.080 You can't just silence us. You know, words already out 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.359 and people need to know what's happening. Let us handle it. 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:44.360 Go on home, Hey, Detective Carver, what now? Torres? Every 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:49.040 Crime and Punishment. Frez Kolnikov slices Lizabetta's face in half 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.640 with an act. We're looking for real evidence, not ap 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:56.040 English highlights. Okay, like the note, but not does your 0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.879 name on it? Tig? That's see scary stuff. Did you 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.520 steal evidence from a crime scene? Again? Torresm Is that 0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:07.320 what I'm hearing? I found the note post Principal Block 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:11.359 body discovery. I almost missed it while trying not to 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:13.399 look at the shell of a man I once thought 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:16.520 was a suspect. But when I picked up that note card, 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:21.679 I knew exactly what it was. Hello again, dear Tig, 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.280 so nice to see you. It really does feel like 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:29.000 old times, though it'll be a spell before you reach 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.960 the heights of our dearly departed Beth. She did have 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:35.920 a rough go of it there in the end. Huh, 0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:40.959 But as Dostoyevsky said, pain and suffering are always inevitable 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:45.160 for a large intelligence and a deep heart. Let's hope 0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.040 you and your little squad survive long enough to get 0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:52.480 to the next chapter. I knew the lid killer was 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:57.240 back the second I'd seen Tony Delcanto's dead body. Now 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:03.560 the cops knew they were back to on the next 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:08.920 episode of Letha Litt, What do you mean, Mr Levinson? Well, 0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:12.480 I don't always say it. It just felt to me 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:17.119 that your aunt Beth was a bit off. You've probably 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:19.920 already heard about her obsession with the case, but it 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:25.400 seemed she was so utterly consumed with understanding, with getting 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:43.160 in his head that she may have taken it too far. 0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:51.159 Iinhorn's Epic Productions and I Heart Radio present legally in 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:56.040 a take Tourism Mystery Created an executive produced by Heather 0:25:56.160 --> 0:26:00.520 Einhorn and Adam STAFFARONI written created an executive pretty by 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.639 Alex Sigura and Monica Gallagher.
