1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Maxie Miles is a production of a typical artists and

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I heart radio. Hey THEO. Wait up? Okay, Max, you

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: have a free period now too. Well. I'm headed to

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: the library to study if you want to join. Actually,

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: I was hoping to talk to you. Look, Max, I

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the investigation. I promise my dad

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: won't tell me anything. No, no, it's not that. I

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: mean so if you had even overheard something or know

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: what the main theory is right now? Nope, no, never mind,

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: just focus, Max, Um, Are you okay? I so this

11
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. Okay. Jenna has been getting these

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: notes in her locker, like poems and stuff, and she

13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: wanted me to figure out who it was. And yeah,

14
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: have you told her yet? No? No, I didn't. I

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: thought that maybe you'd want to tell her. What Why

16
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: would I want to do that because you have a

17
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: crush on her? Max? What you don't know? I? Oh god,

18
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: this is humiliating. Yeah, thanks, No, sorry, I didn't mean.

19
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: I just look. I think it's really sweet what you

20
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: were doing. I read the notes and they were really good,

21
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: THEO really romantic. Really Yeah, Jenna's a lucky girl. You

22
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: really think so? I do? Often this is perfect. You

23
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: can tell her for me, what I mean. She wanted

24
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: you to find out who it was, and you did,

25
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: so now you can tell her. But THEO, if you

26
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: know she's going to know it's you, wouldn't it be

27
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: better to just tell her yourself ask her out? But

28
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: she might say no, okay, but that's true. Even if

29
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I tell her, don't you want her to hear how

30
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: you feel from you? I don't know. I guess I

31
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: never really thought about what I would do if she

32
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: found out, So you were never planning on telling her.

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I was kind of just focused on writing the poems,

34
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: if I'm honest, I never really thought about what she

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: might think of them. But you were writing those poems

36
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: for her, right, Yeah? You really think they're good, the poems. Yeah,

37
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's clear you really care about her. Well,

38
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: you know what they say, poetry is the food of love.

39
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I guess the opposite is true too, love makes for

40
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: good poetry. I guess THEO if you're not going to

41
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: do anything about it, I did promise Jenna i'd figure

42
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: it out for her. Yeah. Yeah, it's totally fine. I

43
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: get it. So you're okay with me telling her that

44
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: you like her sure, and if she doesn't like me back,

45
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: well I hear heartbreak is good for poetry too, Right, Anyway,

46
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: I should get to study hall. Are you coming? Um? Actually,

47
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: I've got other stuff I need to do. Are you

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: going to tell Jenna now? No? No, I'm meeting her

49
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: after work. I just I don't much feel like sitting

50
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: in a dark and quiet library right now. See you later, Max. Yeah.

51
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: By THEO from a Typical Artists and I heart radio.

52
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: You're listening to Maximles. This is chapter five The Truth.

53
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Max, Hey liss honey. Well, I'm so sorry

54
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: about the other day with Oh, no need to apologize.

55
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: I understand where your father is coming from. Joe. Isn't

56
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: my dad, he's my uncle. How nice to have family

57
00:04:52,880 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: in town. No, it's my parents. They they passed away

58
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: a few years ago. So Joe takes care of me.

59
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: Oh I see, I'm so sorry Max, Yeah, me too.

60
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: He seems like he's a fantastic guardian. He is, even

61
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: if he's being stupidly overprotective. You don't think you should

62
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: be worried that that boy Riley is still missing, isn't he? Yeah?

63
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: He is, which is whyatt I just I think I

64
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: can help. Max. I understand being worried about your friend,

65
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: really I do, but you need to take care of yourself.

66
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: The last thing this town needs is another missing child. Yeah, yeah,

67
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I know. Chin up, Max, It's going to be okay. Why,

68
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: just on my way here, I heard some people discussing

69
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: the search party this afternoon. They're doing another one. I

70
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: guess they want to look deeper into the woods. This

71
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: time they'll find Riley. Max. Yeah, yeah, they will, right, Yes.

72
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Now the reason I'm here, Oh right, what are you

73
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: shopping for today? You? In fact, I was hoping to

74
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: solicit your aid in a peculiar problem I'm having. Really

75
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: you want my help? Well, as you know, this town

76
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: really is quite small, and people do talk. Guessing you've

77
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: heard some stories about me. Apparently you're very good at

78
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: solving town issues. See, I can help with Riley. Missing

79
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: pets and stolen bikes are a bit different. I think.

80
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't say that to diminish the things you do, Max,

81
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: but it might be best to work your way up

82
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: to the serious stuff. So what kind of problem are

83
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: you having? It's the end. There's been some strange noises

84
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: this past day or so. I fear that someone may

85
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: have broken in. Oh wow. Now, I don't want to

86
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: distract the community watch group with this when they've got

87
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: much more urgent things to focus on. So I was

88
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: hoping you could lend a hand. You're sure my uncle

89
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: didn't put you up to this to keep me busy.

90
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: I assure you he did not. Why would someone want

91
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: to break into the maple floorpe. It's not even open yet,

92
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: right exactly, It's practically empty, so I have absolutely no

93
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: idea why anyone would be lurking about unless unless what, Well,

94
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: it's foolish, but some of the noises, it almost feels

95
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: as if the place is haunted. What. I'm not inclined

96
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: to believe in such things, but the building really does

97
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: have quite the history. Oh, I am in, I am

98
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: all the way in, excellent. I know you have school

99
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: and work and all of that. So I was thinking

100
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: maybe Saturday. Whatever is going on, I don't think it's

101
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: a danger. Said today is perfect, lovely. I will see

102
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: you then, have a good day, Detective Miles, thanks you too. Hey,

103
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: Mr Monty, is my uncle there? Hey? Joe? Yeah, Yeah,

104
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: everything's fine, No, not yet. Well, that's actually why I'm calling.

105
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: We just got a new shipment of stuff in and

106
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: I offered to stay late to do inventory. Is that okay? No?

107
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: I think we're planning on ordering a pizza, maybe like

108
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: nine or so. No, you don't need to What was that? Oh? Wow, great? Thanks? No,

109
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: she just said she'd give me a ride home. Yep,

110
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: of course, I love you too. Where are you calling

111
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: for me? Uh? Nope, it was out on the phone,

112
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: wrong number anyway, tills all locked up? Wait wait, wait,

113
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: it's only four thirty. Right, you've got that extra curriculo

114
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: thing today I forgot yep, exactly. Me and a friend

115
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: are doing an environmental survey in the park. All right,

116
00:09:52,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: thanks bye? What not the answer you were expecting? THEO?

117
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: THEO has been sending me these notes. No, no, THEO

118
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: and I are friends. This there's no way I thought

119
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: we understood each other. This is a disaster understood each other?

120
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I thought THEO was like me, like,

121
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: too busy for dating? You mean, yeah, too busy for dating? Well,

122
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean after talking to him, I'm not sure that.

123
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, is he totally cracked? Never in my life

124
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: have I thought about THEO combs in that way. If

125
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: it makes you feel better, I actually think because like,

126
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: even if dating was on the table, he shouldn't want

127
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: to date me, and I would never want to date him.

128
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: We'd want to date people like ourselves, or at least

129
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. I'm sorry, Jenna, I'm totally lost

130
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: like another girl. Okay, that's what I'm saying. I don't

131
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: want to date THEO, not because he's not great and all,

132
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: but because I don't see him in that way. In fact,

133
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: I'll never be able to see him in that way,

134
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: because because you want to date another girl? Yeah, anyone

135
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: in particular, that's your first question. Well, I don't know.

136
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like invested in your love life after

137
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: all this. I'm curious Max. You always zig when I

138
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: think you're gonna zag. No, No, there's no one in particular.

139
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: What what are you thinking right now? No, it's nothing.

140
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I just got I got swept up in the romance

141
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: of these notes. I guess I was kind of hoping

142
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: this would all lead to you sailing off in the

143
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: sunset with someone. And you thought THEO was the same

144
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: way that he wouldn't want to date you because he

145
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: would want to date a boy instead. Yeah, And I

146
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: don't know. We never talked about it or anything clearly.

147
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he does want to date boys too, but I

148
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: just thought it doesn't matter now our friendship is screwed

149
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: up forever. Why because he likes me and I can't

150
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: like him back. I don't see why that has to

151
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: ruin everything? And for what it's worth. Well, I wasn't

152
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: planning on saying anything, but I don't think you'll be

153
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: offended by it now, So what is it? Max? I

154
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: don't think THEO was really all that invested. What well?

155
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: I told him that I knew it was him who

156
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: wrote the notes so that he could tell you himself

157
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: instead of me, and he didn't want to see I

158
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: knew whoever was writing these was a coward. Come on,

159
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: that's not fair, Jenna. Theo's your best friend. He probably

160
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to mess anything up either, then why write

161
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: them at all? I think I think you're his news? What? Yeah,

162
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: that must be it. He seemed way more focused on

163
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: his poems being good than anything else and was going

164
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: on about heartbreak is food for poetry or something. I

165
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I wasn't really following. That sounds like THEO,

166
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: so maybe he was just playing a part the poet

167
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: in love with the beauty a full news. Maybe I

168
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: think you should talk to him. You won't tell him, right,

169
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: tell him what that I'm that I'm gay? Oh No,

170
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's mine to tell. I am surprised

171
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know already. Aren't you guys like really close? Yeah?

172
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: We are, but I don't know. We don't always talk

173
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: about real stuff, you know. Yeah, why didn't you tell

174
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: me what? In all the heart to hearts we've had

175
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: in the past few years? Okay? Fair? So you didn't

176
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: know in middle school what I mean. We were friends then,

177
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: so I assume you hadn't figured it out, or otherwise

178
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: you would have told me. Oh my god, Max, How

179
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: are you making this about you right now? Sorry? Sorry,

180
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm not I I just want you to know that

181
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: you could have told me. You could have told me anything.

182
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: I was still figuring it out, okay, and it wasn't

183
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: something I wanted to talk about until I had completely

184
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: figured it out. Did you think that I'd care? Because

185
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think anyone would. It's just it's

186
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: hard being different in Hastings. You know, it's easier to

187
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: just go along with what everyone else is doing and

188
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: there are no gay people here. My uncle is gay. Okay, great,

189
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: one person. Actually, I'm pretty sure he's dating someone, so

190
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: that would make two people who aren't totally straight. Really,

191
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: who is he dating? I have no idea, but he's

192
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: been spending large parts of the weekend out and then

193
00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: he comes back all happy. Gross. I know you don't

194
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: think I understand what it's like to be different. I mean,

195
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: every family in Hastings is like the perfect white bread

196
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: all American, two parents and two point five children, and

197
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm me. Yeah, you're you president of the Hastings is

198
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: the Best Place to Live Committee. Just because I love

199
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Hastings doesn't mean I always feel like it loves me.

200
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: You're not alone and being raised by a single guardian person.

201
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: THEO lost his mom too. I know that's part of

202
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: why I'm sorry Max, for whatever that's worth. I actually

203
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: am sorry for what that THEO likes me and that

204
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't like him. But you do, No, I don't. Oh,

205
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: come on, Mac, everyone knows ironically THEO is the one

206
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: exception to that. Yeah, well I guess I know why

207
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: he wouldn't. He's been a bit distracted. I'm sorry. It's

208
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 1: not your fault. Besides what, I don't know what talking

209
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: to THEO this morning about you, I wasn't nervous for

210
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: the first time ever, ever, since Ross told me that

211
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: THEO wrote the notes. I don't know what THEO liking

212
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: me made him repulsive to you. No, it's it's not that.

213
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: It's the poems were so beautiful, you know, so passionate,

214
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: and then talking to him about them was he didn't

215
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: mean any of it. I didn't say that THEO thinks

216
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: the world if you. I don't know what it is exactly.

217
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: THEO is more passionate about the idea of love than

218
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: he is about me. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is.

219
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: Classic prioritizing having a crush over who the crush is,

220
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: and that's a pretty cynical way to look at things. Yeah. Well,

221
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: understanding people has never been your strong suit. Max. You're right.

222
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you could feel strongly enough to

223
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: write poems for someone and not do everything you possibly

224
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: could to tell them. I get being scared. I mean,

225
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: I never told THEO how I feel. But if I

226
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: were really in love with someone, I like to think

227
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: I'd do anything for them. Isn't that the way it's

228
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I have no idea, Max, find me

229
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: another girl in New Hampshire who also likes girls, and

230
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: maybe I'll tell you. Well, I've already solved one. Jenna

231
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Ambrose love life mystery. I'm on a roll. I wish

232
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: Riley was here. I feel like he'd have the answers.

233
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, Riley has never dated anyone either. Yeah, but

234
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: he has that thing, you know, the fitting in thing

235
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: that we don't the perfect family. He feels like he

236
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: has things figured out. Yeah, I just hope he's okay

237
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: me too. Any new leads. I'm exploring a few avenues,

238
00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: so no, yeah, basically not. But speaking of I gotta go.

239
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: They're doing another search party. Are you sure that's a

240
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: good idea after what happened last time? I promise I

241
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: won't go running around this time. Hey, Max, thanks for

242
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: for listening and for being cool with everything. Of course, Jenna,

243
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I know we're not that we're not as close as

244
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: we used to be, but I'm here. I'm always here. Yeah,

245
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: all right, go be reckless and stupid. I'm not being

246
00:20:43,400 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: reckless or stupid. You say that now, Hiley, Riley, Riley, Riley, Righty,

247
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: Riley Right, Riley Riley Okay, right, Riley? Where are you right?

248
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: Is that? Riley? We're right? Why is Mr Beatie breaking

249
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: off from the crew? Where is he going? It's just

250
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: an animal, Max? Is that cabins? What are you doing? Ross? What? Why? Why? Sorry?

251
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to scare you. Were you following me?

252
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: Were you joining the search party without a buddy? I

253
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: was late? So you walking around alone has nothing to

254
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: do with the fact that Sheriff Combs would definitely call

255
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: your uncle if he saw you trying to join the

256
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: search again? Look at me, I'm fine, aren't I? Now?

257
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: Come on? What where are you going? Mr Beaty is

258
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: up to something great? Here we go? Look Ross, there's

259
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: a cabin up there. Okay, so what we're in the woods?

260
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Woods have cabins. But why is Mr Beady heading toward

261
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: it in the middle of a search? Is it his cabin?

262
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: Is this where he's been coming in the middle of

263
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: the night. I don't see him anywhere? Why, your beauty,

264
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: you said you saw him? Yeah? Where did he go?

265
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he's searching like we're supposed to be doing. Why

266
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: are you even here? Ross? Remember what happened last time?

267
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: But how would you know I would be here? Come? On. Whatever,

268
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: what's your plan here? Just barge into someone's house. I

269
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: know I saw Mr Beaty walking to the cabin seconds ago.

270
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: There's no likes on, so so maybe he's not there

271
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: at all. Right, there's one way to find out. Oh,

272
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: you can't be serious, Come on, Ross, what's the worst

273
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: that could happen? You want me to go down the list?

274
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: If Betty isn't in there, we can poke around the

275
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: in and out before he gets back. And if he

276
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: is in there, we'll play dumb. Say we got lost

277
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: on the search and are looking for help. Ship, What

278
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: what's wrong? That's a solid plan. I knew you'd come

279
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 1: around tell her. Now let's go ship. It's locked? Is

280
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: that surprising? Maybe there's a black door or you can't

281
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: be serious, it's unlocked. I think crawling through a window

282
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: still counts as breaking an entering, even if it's unlocked. Okay,

283
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't see anyone. I think we're clear. Are we

284
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: really doing this? We have no idea if this has

285
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 1: anything at all to do with Riley? Well, only one

286
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: way to find out. Yeah. Maxie Miles was created by
