1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Hey, lethal listeners, take Torres here. Stay tuned for the

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: next episode of Lethal Lit. But first, here's a quick

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. H Hello, Tick, Yes, I hope

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: it's not too late. Jane Ferranti, producer of Something in

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: the Water. She's an amazing journalist and kind of a legend.

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: Oh hi, Jane, No, definitely not too late. Always have

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: time for you. I just got off the phone with

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: a medical examiner who will do anything for homie brownies,

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: even if they're not actually homemade. Half a minute to talk,

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: of course. The sudden death of the antique store owner,

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Stephanie Reid had me convinced something was again not right

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: in the town of Hollow Falls, but the doctor insisted

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: it was a natural death and wouldn't give me the

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: time of day. Jane did, though, take your hunch was right.

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: They found strict nine, otherwise known as rat poison and

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: listen to this. After reviewing the details, they decided to

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: go back and do another autopsy on Rock Monitue. I

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: want to guess what they found. Strict nine. Looks like

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: you've got a serial killer on your hands. I shouldn't

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: have felt proud to hear her say that, but I did,

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: and in a sick, twisted way, I also felt excited

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: that there was a new mystery to solve. I guess

23
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: that's what life and hollow Falls will do to you.

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm tig Torres and this is lethal lit two victims,

25
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: each with a music box nearby. I had the means

26
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: strict nine, and I had a lead suspect Harris. But

27
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: that's where things get complicated. Max was involved with him,

28
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: had genuine feelings for him, and I didn't handle that well.

29
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't help it. I got that feeling, the feeling

30
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: I had when the lit killer murders were happening, that

31
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time until another body

32
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: dropped m hm. I needed to apologize to Max, but

33
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: also protect Max, which, if I was right, was more

34
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: important than his feelings. Wind came along to make sure

35
00:02:50,040 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: I didn't make things worse. Welcome to the Montague Hotel, Hi, Max, Max. Max,

36
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: let's have a lot in your hand when you're greeting guests.

37
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: It no, sir, it's a cup of water to melt

38
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: you with you which and how may I help you? Max?

39
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to apologize for coming off so intense yesterday.

40
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I was really shortsighted, and I let my

41
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: ambition to find out more about Harris override your feelings

42
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: for him. And but I still think we need to

43
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: talk about him. M I see, do you have a

44
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: reservation with us? Max? Tag and Ella did over hear

45
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: some pretty shady stuff at that antique store, and he

46
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: hasn't come forward to the police about being the last

47
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: person to see Stephanie alive, last besides Tag and Ella.

48
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: You mean, I'm sorry, ladies, I don't seem to have

49
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: a record of you in my system. I'm sure you're

50
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: not both here to discuss personal matters, as that would

51
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: get me in trouble with the OGRE currently observing security

52
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: cameras in the office directly behind me. Perhaps you made

53
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a reservation under a different name, Max. As painful as

54
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: this is, we have to talk about it. It's really

55
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: important one moment, and I'll check on that for you.

56
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: You don't like Harris and you don't approve of my

57
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: being in a relationship with him. He's a suspect. Why

58
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: how he was badgering Brock moments before he died, Plus

59
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: the stuff we overheard at the antique store, the music

60
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: boxes and then Stephanie. There's no proof there's even been

61
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: a murder. Brock Montague had a heart attack and the

62
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: antique lady had a seizure. No, Max, they were both poisoned.

63
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: The coroner confirmed it half an hour ago. Now have

64
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: you seen anything suspicious? You know, I've been too busy

65
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: sipping on the latte that my beautiful, thoughtful boyfriend bought me,

66
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: and I guess I forgot to indulge in any wild

67
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories this morning. You've got to listen to me.

68
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Someone else could die. Max. Excuse me, I've listened. I'm

69
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: not convinced. Now let me do my job. Yes, I

70
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: have a delivery here for Max Wyneman. That's me have

71
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: a nice day. That's a personal package. Uh no, Walter,

72
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: it's it's a guest ledger I ordered to surprise you. Oh,

73
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: it's from Harris. Less than a full month into a

74
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: relationship and he can't keep himself from sending me surprises. Yeah,

75
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: well that's nice. Next, put that latte down, tigs thing,

76
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: just an accident, cleaning it up. Now we have to

77
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: get you to the hospital right now. What the hell

78
00:05:39,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? There's rat poison in that latte? Well,

79
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: now I know why people don't get their stomachs pumped

80
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: for fun. How are you feeling, Max? Mm hmm? Like

81
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Andy Cohen after taping a Housewives reunion, Badgered, exhausted, wondering

82
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: why the hell I'm alive? The doctor says, you're all right, wonderful. Well,

83
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: I hope you've got everything you wanted from this delightful

84
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: experienced Tig, Let's do it again sometime. You're not safe here. Max,

85
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: We're going to take you home. You're being crazy. Tig

86
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: Brock and Stephanie both died within minutes of getting a

87
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: music box. If Harris or whoever it is is coming

88
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: after you, then there's a good chance he'll try and

89
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: make another move tonight. Shouldn't we call the police then

90
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: and tell them what you can explain your little theory?

91
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: Or does that mean having to tell them the truth

92
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: about your antique store? B and E. We're going to

93
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: stay with you tonight. Max. I'm sorry. I refuse to

94
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: believe that Harris would try to hurt me. It just

95
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. He's our only serious lead right now,

96
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: Harris and Ali. Yeah, but why would Ali want to

97
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: kill Max Um? Maybe because we stopped him from fulfilling

98
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: his murder dreams of killing you. I would either of them.

99
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: What the hell did I do? I don't know. But

100
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: we're not leading your side. No one's getting anywhere near you.

101
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Story of my life. I was acting a lot more

102
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: certain than I really was. The truth is, it didn't

103
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: all make sense to me. Max had a good point.

104
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Why would Harris want him dead? And why put his

105
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: return address on the music box package? And what possible

106
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: connection could there be between brock Montacue, Stephanie and Max,

107
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: a millionaire playboy, an antique store owner, and the high

108
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: school junior currently leading the voting for most organized locker. Still,

109
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: there was what I overheard at the antique store. Kay,

110
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: was I paranoid at the time? I reasoned to myself

111
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: that it's safer to be paranoid when a friend's life

112
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: is in the balance. Well, isn't this great? A prisoner

113
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: in my own home forced to eat clam chowder straight

114
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: out of the can? Can't we at least order from

115
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: the star. We can't risk anyone touching your food, not

116
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: even Phil. So what's the plan exactly? Well, we stay

117
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: here with you until you're out of danger, which will

118
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: be until that's reassuring um the three of us can

119
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: sleep in shifts. That way someone's always on the lookout

120
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: makes sense. I think the first thing to do is now,

121
00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: who do you think that might be? Hey Lee? The

122
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: listeners stay tuned more. Leathal Lid is up next, but

Speaker 1: have a baseball bat? What about a kitchen right in

130
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: the kitchen? Show Look, we're armed in here and extremely dangerous.

131
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: We called nine one one, the police are on their way.

132
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: Come on, open up in there, l You almost gave

133
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: me a heart attack. Are you seriously doing an all

134
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: night vigil without me? Weren't you grounded after getting dropped

135
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: off by a squad car last night? I can't believe

136
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: you asked them to show for you home and literally

137
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: use the words chauffeur. I can't believe you stayed at

138
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: the hospital. What'd you do walk home? Really anyway, I

139
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: got a twenty minute lecture on political optics and a

140
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: new bag for keeping it out of the papers. So

141
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: we're going to continue keeping it out of the papers? Right?

142
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I really want that back? And how did you know

143
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: we were here? Dig out of me to the group chat? Oh? Really,

144
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: big step? Well, then, welcome to the party. It feels

145
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: like a funeral in here. Don't you guys know how

146
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: to do a sleepover? Sure? So cute? All right? Never

147
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: have I ever kissed a girl? Who? Who? Who? Alright? Alright, alright,

148
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: calm down. It was fifth freaking grade with this random girl, Kelsey.

149
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: I was hoping i'd absorb her abilities with men without

150
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: also absorbing her red hair, Jean, can you imagine me

151
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: as a ginger when I kissed Annie? Of course? And

152
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: then there was this girl at camp. Oh my god,

153
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: Annie and I haven't thought about that psycho and forever. Okay,

154
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: she's not a psycho. I still follow her on the ground.

155
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: She's got a pug. She makes little hats for it.

156
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Who's Annie Win's first official girlfriend? She goes to Freman Prep. Now, wait,

157
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: didn't you bring her to the end of the year formal?

158
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: That's right, she was hitting on Katie Briggs, our head cheerleader,

159
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: something pretty fierce, and that was one of your healthier relationships. Really,

160
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: who else were you in? Okay? Enough attention on when

161
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: we're still playing a game, are we not? Okay? Let's see.

162
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: Never have I ever developed real feelings for an actual psycho,

163
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: like a potential serial killer? For example, Harris is not

164
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: a psycho? Who said I was talking about you? I

165
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: bet psycho killers make very passionate lovers. You know what?

166
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: Can we not talk about psycho killers for like one

167
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: glorious evening? Please? I'm serious? You're right, my bad? Look,

168
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: none of you know Harris? Okay, It's not like I'm

169
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: so unbelievably desperate for affection that I look past murder.

170
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: That's not what I said. Sure feels like it, believe me, Max.

171
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Everyone here knows. I'm in no position to judge you.

172
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: But even assuming he's innocent, Harris still gives off shady vibes.

173
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Can I ask, what do you see in him? I

174
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: really want to know? Yeah, I'm kind of curious too. Well.

175
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm he's gorge for one, he knows what he wants

176
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: and he's not afraid to go for it. He's not

177
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: like other people in this town, just letting themselves be

178
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: dragged whichever way life happens to take them. He's got plans.

179
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: He makes me feel like I can be whatever I

180
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: want to be. And unlike most of the superficial idiots

181
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: on Grinder, he actually thinks these scars on my face

182
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: or kind of hot? How? Who am I kidding? I

183
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: want attention so badly, I'll look past anything. Now it

184
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: turns out he's a murdering psychopath. Of course he is.

185
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: Isn't that just exactly who I'd fall for. I can't

186
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: believe I was so stupid. I think that what we

187
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: had was real. Hey, don't say that, you're not stupid.

188
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: And maybe it is real. There's no denying the music

189
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: box and the inks. And I felt so special when

190
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: he brought me that lattape, but then it was a

191
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: death latte. I think both things can be true. A

192
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: person can have real feelings for you, and they can

193
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: also want to hurt you. Who are we talking about,

194
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Tig Maybe it's just a side of himself he can't control.

195
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's how he was raised. Everyone has control over

196
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: the choices. They make you deserve better. Max. I'm just

197
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: saying it happens, don't hate on yourself. Max. Did you

198
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: know I never cried when Tony was killed? Isn't that crazy?

199
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't until after I was at the mall trying

200
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: out new eyeliner, treating myself. It just started falling and

201
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop for three day. Oh Ella, honey, come here,

202
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: take okay, I ms Ali. I still think about him

203
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: a lot. We all do, Tig, even though it turns

204
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: out we didn't know him like we thought we did,

205
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: only was a friend for a long time. Some of

206
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: it had to be real. I don't know. I have

207
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: to tell you all something. What is it, Tig? I.

208
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you're all my friends here, you guys

209
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: group hug. I'll look at us. Oh Ella, your nails,

210
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: my dad? You know. I'm glad my dad moved me

211
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: to Hollow Falls, even though Denise, my spiritual advisor, says

212
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: the whole town is haunted. You don't believe in ghosts, now,

213
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: do you know? But as Denise told you, you can

214
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: be haunted by grief. You can't deny that that's true.

215
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice if there was something we could

216
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: do about that, like some kind of exorcism or something,

217
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: so we could all just get on with our lives.

218
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get the hell out of this place.

219
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: It just eats people alive and make some Michelin star

220
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: meal out of their dreams. If that all right, I'm

221
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: walking off that stage of graduation and right out of town.

222
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: You watch, We know you will, Max. Yeah, if anyone can,

223
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: it's you? God? What time is it? Almost two? You're tired?

224
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: You kidding? The night is still young, queen? When I

225
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: will tell you what I have? Mhmm. Looks like they're

226
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: both out. Ella sleeps like she's posing for a selfie.

227
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: I uh, you can rest your eyes if you want.

228
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: I can keep watching. No, no, I mean unless you'd

229
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: rather be alone. If you're uncomfortable spending the night together

230
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: with me, well, I don't know. Would Annie be jealous?

231
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: Annie is with a guy now right. Also, she wasn't

232
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: the jealous type, far from it, truth be told. She

233
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: wasn't that into me. Good kiss her though? Oh yeah?

234
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Like how well, it's hard to put into words. You're

235
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: not waiting for me to lean in and kiss you,

236
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: are you? No, you're not waiting for me to lean

237
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: in and kiss you? Are you, of course not. Okay,

238
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: then we're on the same page. Then yeah, I mean

239
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: this would be a pretty romantic time for a kiss, though,

240
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't It seems like it? What was that? Oh crap, Max?

241
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: Wake up? Someone's at the door. What what's happening? Is

242
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: it your parents? No, they're a wait till the end

243
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: of the week. Grab the skillet, Ella, There are scissors

244
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: on the counter. When they get your knife, bax, Oh,

245
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: Maxie Harris, don't come any closer. I am fully prepared

246
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: to use these scissors. What are you gonna do? Give

247
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: me bangs? What's going on in here? Max? Wait? Did

248
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I walk in and a sleepover? It's some cozy in here.

249
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: We're not going to let you hurt Max. Hurt Max?

250
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: How did you get in? Did you steal a key

251
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: to Max's house and make it? What are you talking about?

252
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: You want drugs? Look, he gave me the key. Okay,

253
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I didn't know what What were you thinking?

254
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: I gave him a copy while my parents are away.

255
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: It seemed like a good idea at the time. Okay, seriously,

256
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: what's going on here? They know about us. I told

257
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: them you can't say anything about this. My father would

258
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: kill me, dude, Please, he disn't just come about disinherit me.

259
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: What do you want? Max got your little music box? Oh?

260
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: I see, and you went in right about time? We

261
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: want in to? What to killing him? Why do you

262
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: want Max dead? Want him dead? What are you talking about?

263
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: It was a present, the first of its kind. And

264
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: I have even more ideas of products for the Hollow

265
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: Falls Murder Lover's Gifts Murder Lovers. I should be selling

266
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: a couple of packages what I'm still working on the title.

267
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in the Montague, just off the lobby.

268
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: I got key chains, mugs, I visited Hollow Falls and

269
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: lived to tell about it, T shirts. I've got the

270
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: floor plan all mapped out. But then Brock was, well,

271
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: you know, so the projects on pass for a while.

272
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: That Walter is next to impossible to work with, right evil?

273
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: See I told you guys, so that's why you were

274
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: at the antique store. Yeah. Stephanie's in touch with the

275
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: vendor overseas who was like so cheap by I don't

276
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: even want to know how much they pay their workers.

277
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: She gets sold a lot of her work done that way.

278
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Some of her antiques aren't so antique. But sh it's

279
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: a secret, Harris. Didn't you hear Stephanie's dead? Dude? What

280
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: right after you were in her store last night? Strict

281
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: nine poisoning? Oh god, no, no, no, no, no, this

282
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: this is terrible. How am I going to find another vendor? Vendor?

283
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: I guess I could do license plate frames, but no,

284
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: those those music boxes were going to launch my mail

285
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: over business. It's okay, it's okay. Is this guy serious

286
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: right now? I'm sorry, You're right. I just I meant

287
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: to say, it's very sad. I guess wait, how did

288
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: you know I was in her store last night? Um?

289
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: We had a wait a minute, what are you doing

290
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: sneaking in here at this time of night? Tig? Really

291
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: you're a detective. I think you can figure this one out.

292
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Look like I was wrong about Harris being the killer.

293
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: He was just an over zealous entrepreneur with questionable moral bearings.

294
00:21:53,800 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: And for better or for worse, Max's boyfriend, Hey, Max

295
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: Tig wild night, Huh certainly memorable. It's not often you

296
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: can say that getting your stomach pumped is the least

297
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: weird part of your day. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

298
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: I know you were just looking out for me, albeit

299
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: in a completely deranged way. I just I wish you

300
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: would take me a little more seriously sometimes and trust

301
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: me when I tell you stuff. You're right. Well, it

302
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: looks like you're back to square one. What'll you do now?

303
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: What would I do? Now? Well? I did what any

304
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: hypocrite who just finished criticizing her friend's poor relationship choices

305
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: would do. I called Dolly strict nine. That's interesting. Why

306
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: is that interesting? Well, that's how Agatha Christie would kill

307
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: people off in her stories. Could be not to the

308
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: lick killer. How Ry Levinson, the original lip killer, Ali

309
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: had given me an idea. Maybe the music box wasn't

310
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: the key clue. Maybe it was the strict nine. If

311
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: the killer was using Strict nine as a literary reference,

312
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: he might be connected somehow to Levinson. It was a stretch,

313
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: but it was something to go on, which meant there

314
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: was someone I had to talk to. You're going to

315
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: go talk to Levinson? Are you nuts? Promise me you

316
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: won't go see him. He's stronger than you think. He

317
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: can get in your head. If he has something to

318
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: do with this, then you visiting him in prison is

319
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: already a part of his plan. Don't you get it?

320
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: He wants to be in your head too. Promise me

321
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: you won't put yourself in harm's way like that. Promise

322
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: you won't go to the prison. Okay, Ali, I promise?
