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

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: I heart radio have a good day. Well, well, well

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: i'll be Maxie Miles. Did your uncle rope you into this?

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: How did you know? Oh that Joe is always looking

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: out for you. I know he'd want you to be

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: safe safe. Well what with the poor Stevens boy missing?

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: I think we're all concerned about our younger citizens. So

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: you don't think he ran away after all? What changed

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: your mind? Oh? Well, I wasn't saying that. I just well,

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: all possibilities are still open, unfortunately, but don't you worry,

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: young lady. You are safe as houses in Hastings. But

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: people have gone missing before, right, people have died. Well,

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: of course, death is a part of life, my dear,

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: But people have died suspiciously. I'm not sure what you mean.

15
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: Hastings is a good town full of good people, right, yeah,

16
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I know that, of course. Um speaking of good people,

17
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: do you know Mr Beatie? Of course? Oh? Oh, I

18
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: see this is about what happened with his family. I'm

19
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: guessing what family. Oh no, see, you've got some more customers,

20
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: So I'll just take this big bag of butterscotch and

21
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: be on my way. Oh that's a three thirty, got

22
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: your exact change right here, Thanks very much, dear wait, Mayor,

23
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: how keep up the good work. That guy gives me

24
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: the creeps. Mayor How he's a big teddy bear. I

25
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: don't know about that. Well, whatever you think of him,

26
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: he was in the middle of telling me something that

27
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: could actually help with Riley, So thanks for that. Don't

28
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: you think that if hell knew something, he would have

29
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: told Mr Combs already? I thought he gave you the creeps.

30
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I think he's a kidnapper. I just meant, Look,

31
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: if I tell you something, will you promise not to

32
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: go all max about it? What does that mean? Like,

33
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: don't make it into a whole thing that you obsess over?

34
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: What is it? Jenna Riley's interview with the mayor for

35
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the paper did not go well. Not go well? How

36
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't actually know. All Riley said was that the

37
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: mayor was mad, mad about what something that Riley found

38
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: out about. I guess that's what I mean. I don't

39
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: think How is the perfect civil servant that everyone thinks.

40
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I think he's like skimming off the top of town

41
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: funds or something. And if the beloved Perma Mayor of

42
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Hastings was corrupt. That would be the biggest scandal this

43
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: town has ever seen. From a typical artists and I

44
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: hurt radio. You're listening to Maximles. This is chapter four

45
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: The Secret Admirer. So he went out again last night,

46
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: but no double back this time. He went out around

47
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: nine o'clock and then was back at ten, got into

48
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: his truck, nothing else, drove away and came back. Mm hmmm,

49
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: what are you thinking? I'm thinking that there's nowhere to

50
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: go for an hour at nine pm in Hastings. He

51
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: couldn't have been running an errand because most places closed

52
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: at eight on Sunday night. Maybe he went to the tavern? Okay,

53
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: But did he leave exactly at nine and get back

54
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: exactly at ten, give or take two minutes? But yeah,

55
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: pretty much. It's a ten minute drive to town from

56
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: our houses, So that means he would have been at

57
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: the tavern for forty in its doesn't feel right, does it?

58
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: So what's next? You'll keep an eye on it? Sure? Yeah,

59
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean I'm always in the tree house anyway, I've

60
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: got nothing else to do. Do you spend every night

61
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: in there? I mean I don't sleep in there? Are

62
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: you sure? I don't sleep in there very much? But

63
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: trust me, if you lived with my family, you'd spend

64
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: all your time somewhere else too. Oh I doubt that

65
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I'd love a house full of people. Things get boring.

66
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: It's just me and Joe all the time. I'd kill

67
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: for a little boring, and i'd kill to have my

68
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: parents around. Sorry, I didn't mean no, it's totally fine.

69
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why I said that. Oh no, No,

70
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure you missed them a lot. I

71
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to say that. Yes, of course I do.

72
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: But I mean it's not like you don't love your parents.

73
00:05:52,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: Of course, Yeah I do? Right, so so, uh sentimental

74
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: moment over? Is that what passes for a sentimental moment

75
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: in your book? Oh? Hey wait, speaking of family, I

76
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: found something out about Beatty yesterday. Only you max, only

77
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: me what only you would leap from your dead parents

78
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: to an investigation? Crap? Sorry, Yeah, I'm seeing the sentimentality

79
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: thing you were talking about. I don't know how you

80
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: walk around with a heart that big. Come on, Miles,

81
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Okay, I just i'd say stuff sometimes. Yeah,

82
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I know, tell me what you found out? About Mr Beatty. Okay,

83
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: so apparently Mr Beatty had a family at one point.

84
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: What mm hmm. May Or How mentioned something yesterday and

85
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: then I tried to ask Joe about it during dinner

86
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: last night. He wouldn't give me much but just said

87
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: it was a tragedy, something about Beatty having a wife

88
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and son. Then tragedy mm hmm. Joe wouldn't tell you

89
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: anything else. He doesn't. He doesn't really like to talk

90
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: about that kind of stuff because you know, right well,

91
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: that definitely is interesting. You know, Beatty having a family,

92
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: a kid. That's so hard to picture. I told you

93
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't as scary as he seemed. Well, you're also

94
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: the one who wanted to follow him because you think

95
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: he's like holding Riley captive somewhere. I never said that.

96
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I just I think it's weird that he's going out

97
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: at night all the time. We're at the stage of

98
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: the investigation where all potential leads need to be chased down.

99
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Speaking of I have another another what potential lead? Jenna

100
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: said that Riley's piece for the paper may have been

101
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: a bigger deal than we thought. Bigger deal how corruption

102
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: scandal something about may Or How I don't have the

103
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: specifics yet, but there's something there. You're working the store

104
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: this afternoon, yep, every afternoon from now until well until

105
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Riley has found Probably Joe is worried I'm going to

106
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: do something stupid and dangerous if I'm not occupied. He's

107
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: not wrong. Shut up. That's good though. You can gather

108
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: more until about beating maybe even how Yeah, you've got

109
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: math with THEO right now? Right? Yeah? Could you see

110
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: if he knows anything about the official investigation. I doubt

111
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: his dad tells him much, but he might have overheard something.

112
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: I just want to know where they're at. Um, Why

113
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: don't you just ask him yourself at lunch? Because just

114
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: can you help me out for once? Teller? For once?

115
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Just ask him? Okay, okay, whatever, Max,

Speaker 1: Oh m, this is the fourth one I've gotten in

126
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. They just show up in my locker. Wow,

127
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: that's creepy, right, I was going to say romantic you

128
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: would You really don't like getting this kind of stuff.

129
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, whoever it is, he clearly really likes you.

130
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: These are poems, Jenna. I know it's so embarrassing. Why

131
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: is that embarrassing? It's all squishy and sensitive? What's your point?

132
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't do squishy and sensitive? Right? I forgot that

133
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: you and Ross are basically the same person. What do

134
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: you mean nothing, Jenna? Where are you showing me this?

135
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Because I want to find out who wrote them? Oh

136
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: that's great. What you like him too, and you want

137
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: to find out who it is so you can tell

138
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: him what. No, that's not what's happening here. I want

139
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: to find out who it is so I can tell

140
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: him to stop. Why if you don't know who it is,

141
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: how do you know you don't like him? Because I

142
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: just I know, Okay, I don't have time for all

143
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. Is that why you broke up? With Cody.

144
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: I broke up with Cody because he's a moron and

145
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: a bully. But yes, that was one of several contributing factors.

146
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: So will you help me or not? Jenna? I mean,

147
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: don't you think there are more important things to focus

148
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: on than some random love notes? Of course there are, Maxine,

149
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: but neither of us can do anything to help Riley.

150
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: And before you start, no, you can't. Max You're fourteen.

151
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: I know that you want to help, and you like

152
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, but this isn't a fun, hardy

153
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: boy's mystery. This is dangerous, and I'm doing you a

154
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: favor by giving you something low stakes to focus all

155
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: that insane energy on. Oh is that why you're doing this?

156
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: To save me from myself? Someone has to and Ross

157
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: is too chicken shipped to do it himself. Besides, I

158
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: have a curious mind too, and I would like to

159
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: know who has decided to declare their love for me

160
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: in the completely infuriating form of anonymous notes. I do

161
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: not understand how you don't think it's romantic. Maybe he shy,

162
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: maybe he's intimidated by you. Don't you think you should

163
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: at least just think that some people have reasons to hide,

164
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: and some people are selfish cowards. I have a feeling

165
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: this guy is the latter. Ease, come on, Max, I

166
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: gave you that intel on Riley's article. The least you

167
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: can do is okay, fine, fine, I get it. I'll

168
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: help things that the store are going. Okay, Yeah, they're fine.

169
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: It's pretty boring most of the time. It's not exactly

170
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: the most bustling place in Hastings. Is any place in

171
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: Hastings bustling. That's a good point. Yeah, it's one of

172
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: the things I love about this town. Actually, I know everyone,

173
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: and pretty much everyone knows me. There's no getting lost

174
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: in a crowd. I thought you wanted to run off

175
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: to New York the moment you graduated. Well, I mean,

176
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: I want to visit New York. I'd love to go

177
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: to college there or Boston somewhere with you know, real

178
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: public transportation and museums. But I don't know. I couldn't

179
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: be surprised if I ended up back here. Yeah, your

180
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: dad felt the same way, both your parents. Actually, I mean,

181
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: we may have all scattered to the winds when high

182
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: school ended, but the winds eventually blew you back to Hastings. Well,

183
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: once your mom took a teaching post at Hastings High,

184
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: your dad was always going to be right behind her. Well, yeah,

185
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I think that's how marriage works. Well no, no, I

186
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: mean she got that job way before they were married.

187
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: It was right after college. I think I was still

188
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: at Hastings, actually in my senior year, and then Mary

189
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: shows up as the new teacher, and I just knew.

190
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I knew my brother would be moving back to Yeah,

191
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: they've been in love for so long. With the long

192
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: distance thing for college, it made it harder. And your

193
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: dad wasn't gonna let that be a barrier anymore. So

194
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: he came back to Hastings to be with her. Mm hmmm.

195
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: And then I came back to Hastings to be with you, kiddo.

196
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: But you like it here, okay, right, I mean I'm

197
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: not like keeping you here. I mean I can't exactly

198
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: leave you on supervised, no matter how grown you think

199
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: you are. But I know that. But just because I'm

200
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: a minor doesn't mean you have to up end your

201
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: entire life, just Max, Max, Where is this coming from?

202
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've just been thinking about family, I guess,

203
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: just generally speaking, and I don't like the idea that

204
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: you're trapped in this miserable small town existence because of me.

205
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: I am not living in a miserable small town existence. Like. Yes,

206
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: I moved back here to take care of you, but

207
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: see see, I've ruined your cool city life. But there

208
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: was never any way I was letting anyone else take

209
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: care of you. You're my favorite niece, after all, I'm

210
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: your only niece. Besides, I found things to like about Hastings. Really,

211
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: like what I'll tell you when you're older. Oh, oh

212
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: my god, are you dating someone I know I'm still

213
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: a young man. Tell that to your gray hair, Maxine.

214
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Someone has to be brutally honest with you. I look

215
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: in the mirror every day. That's enough brutal honesty for me.

216
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: I love my life here with you, Max. I miss

217
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: your parents every single day. I would do anything to

218
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: get them back, but I'm so grateful to get to

219
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: have you as my family. Thanks Joe, me too. What

220
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: do you think happened to Riley? I don't know, kiddo.

221
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: I hope nothing bad, but bad things happen sometimes. Bad

222
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: things happen sometimes, but it's sort of good things. Dinners

223
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: with my niece. The Harvest festival dogs falling in love?

224
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: So you are dating someone? I think that you are

225
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: what I'm not. I'm not dating anyone. What was with

226
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: the note in your backpack? You look through my backpack

227
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: I was putting on the counter and it fell out.

228
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: So who's the lucky guy? Oh my god, no one,

229
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: you can talk to me about this stuff. It's not

230
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: for me. What. Oh did you write it? Oh? I

231
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: guess I was making assumptions based on the whole boy

232
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: meets girl perspective in the poem. But if if there's

233
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: something you want to talk to me about, Oh my god, no,

234
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: please stop talking. It's Jenna's She's been getting them in

235
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: her locker for the past few weeks, and she wanted

236
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: me to find out who's been leaving them. Got it,

237
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: she wrote, ju and helping her? Well, I mean, I

238
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: am known for being good at solving things. I thought

239
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: you and her were on the outs where we're fine.

240
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: We're just not best friends anymore. That happens. People grow up,

241
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: and some people get popular and pretty and become the

242
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: object of a love letter writer's attention, and some of

243
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: us don't. Max Anyway, I should probably start in on

244
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: my list of suspects so I can interview people at

245
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: school tomorrow. Max. Thanks for dinner, Joe. These are all

246
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: of them for now, six letters in three weeks, always

247
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: left between second and third period. Right, what classes do

248
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: you have? Those periods Math and then Health, which are

249
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: right down the hall from each other, which means you're

250
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: never passing your locker when you go to health unless well,

251
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: do you ever go back for any books? No? I

252
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: usually bring all my morning class books with me and

253
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: then do a swap over during lunch. So whoever's leaving

254
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: you these notes must know that they know your locker

255
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: is going to be clear between those periods, and that

256
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: you'll go to your locker after third period and before lunch.

257
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: That's creepy. I think that depends on who it is.

258
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: If it's someone with a locker really near yours, then

259
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: it's possible they're just going to their locker between each

260
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: period and have just noticed that you're never there. What

261
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: if it's someone with a locker in a totally different hallway,

262
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: then yeah, it would be a little weird for them

263
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: to know this much about your movements unless they have

264
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: both Math and health with you. Do you share both

265
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: of those classes with anyone. Uh yeah, probably like half

266
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: a dozen people at least. All right, then we'll start there.

267
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Write down the names of everyone you share both classes with,

268
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: and then the names of anyone in the vicinity of

269
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: your locker who might have caught onto when you're not there.

270
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll take that list and start to narrow down the

271
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: suspects based on who likes girls, who single, and who

272
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: might write you letters rather than just asking you out. Okay,

273
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: and then and then I'll start to interview the suspects,

274
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: suspects whatever you want to call it, potential boyfriends. Whoever

275
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: is writing these notes is not a potential boyfriend. You

276
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: should at least wait to figure out who it is first. Well,

277
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: come on, start writing. Hey, hey, Ross, what are you

278
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: doing here? I thought you had work shot closed early

279
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: for the manager's nephew's birthday or something, so I've got

280
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: the afternoon off. Huh made any breakthroughs? I think I've

281
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: narrowed it down to three people. Chat Ryan Carter? What

282
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: what would they want with Riley? What? Oh? No, no, sorry,

283
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: not for Riley. This this is a thing for Jenna.

284
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: What is this her hit list or something sort of?

285
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: She's trying to figure out who has been leaving her

286
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: love notes. That's not you, right, I mean, your lucker

287
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: isn't near Jenna's, but you are in her math class.

288
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: What me is sending Jenna Ambrose love notes? Yeah? I

289
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty far fetched. That's why you were

290
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: eliminated early, just double checking. Why is it so far fetched?

291
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you and she aren't best buzz anymore,

292
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: but Jenna's cool. We've always gotten along. Are you saying

293
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: you like her? No, I'm not saying it. I just

294
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: want to know what's so far fetched about it? That's

295
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: all you. Romancing Jenna is not what's far fetched. I

296
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: get it. She's pretty, she's smart, she's popular. I'm sure

297
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: there are lots of guys in school who would want

298
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: to go out with her. But but the idea of

299
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: you romancing anyone is a little far fetched. Oh, I didn't.

300
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: I didn't mean that as a bad thing, A right, right? Right? Sorry?

301
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Did I I feel like I hurt your feelings? No,

302
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: you didn't. It's just that you don't seem like the

303
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: type of person who would write a bunch of love letters. Yeah.

304
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: I get it, and that's not a bad thing. I mean,

305
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: some people just aren't romantic people. Why do you assume

306
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a romantic person. Well, come on, ros, I mean,

307
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: you've never asked anyone out. I don't think you've ever

308
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: had a crush on anyone, which, again, is totally fine.

309
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Just because I don't go around leaving weird poems and

310
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: people's lockers are talking about my crushes all the time

311
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I don't have them. Okay. I just

312
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: thought maybe I'm just waiting for the right moment, you know,

313
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: or maybe it's just not worth putting yourself out there

314
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: when you know for certain that the other person doesn't

315
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: feel the same way. I mean, you know, I get

316
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: the appeal of staying anonymous. You can test the waters

317
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: without getting hurt. Yeah. I guess that's true. But wait,

318
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: how did you know the notes were being left in

319
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: her locker? What? Oh? You mentioned something about my locker

320
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: not being close, so I just assumed, I mean, you know,

321
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: where else would you leave notes for someone? Okay, but

322
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: you also knew they were poems. How did you know

323
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: they were poems? What? I didn't tell you that I need? Um? Ross?

324
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: Did you write these notes? What? No? No way, I promise.

325
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: What are you sure you can tell me, trust me, Myles,

326
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: I did not write them. I do not have a

327
00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: crush on Jenna. Okay, then how you know who? Don't you?

328
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: You know who has a crush on Jenna? Maybe I do? Yeah? Who?
