WEBVTT - Chapter IV - The Secret Admirer

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Maxie Miles as the production of a typical artists and

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I heart radio have a good day. Well, well, well

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>i'll be Maxie Miles. Did your uncle rope you into this?

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>How did you know? Oh that Joe is always looking

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>out for you. I know he'd want you to be

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>safe safe. Well what with the poor Stevens boy missing?

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I think we're all concerned about our younger citizens. So

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't think he ran away after all? What changed

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>your mind? Oh? Well, I wasn't saying that. I just well,

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>all possibilities are still open, unfortunately, but don't you worry,

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>young lady. You are safe as houses in Hastings. But

0:00:55.280 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>people have gone missing before, right, people have died. Well,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, death is a part of life, my dear,

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>But people have died suspiciously. I'm not sure what you mean.

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Hastings is a good town full of good people, right, yeah,

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that, of course. Um speaking of good people,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>do you know Mr Beatie? Of course? Oh? Oh, I

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>see this is about what happened with his family. I'm

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 1>guessing what family. Oh no, see, you've got some more customers,

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'll just take this big bag of butterscotch and

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>be on my way. Oh that's a three thirty, got

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>your exact change right here, Thanks very much, dear wait, Mayor,

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>how keep up the good work. That guy gives me

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>the creeps. Mayor How he's a big teddy bear. I

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know about that. Well, whatever you think of him,

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>he was in the middle of telling me something that

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>could actually help with Riley, So thanks for that. Don't

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>you think that if hell knew something, he would have

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>told Mr Combs already? I thought he gave you the creeps.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't mean I think he's a kidnapper. I just meant, Look,

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>if I tell you something, will you promise not to

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>go all max about it? What does that mean? Like,

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>don't make it into a whole thing that you obsess over?

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>What is it? Jenna Riley's interview with the mayor for

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the paper did not go well. Not go well? How

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually know. All Riley said was that the

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>mayor was mad, mad about what something that Riley found

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>out about. I guess that's what I mean. I don't

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>think How is the perfect civil servant that everyone thinks.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he's like skimming off the top of town

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>funds or something. And if the beloved Perma Mayor of

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Hastings was corrupt. That would be the biggest scandal this

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>town has ever seen. From a typical artists and I

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:58.119
<v Speaker 1>hurt radio. You're listening to Maximles. This is chapter four

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>The Secret Admirer. So he went out again last night,

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 1>but no double back this time. He went out around

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>nine o'clock and then was back at ten, got into

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>his truck, nothing else, drove away and came back. Mm hmmm,

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>what are you thinking? I'm thinking that there's nowhere to

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>go for an hour at nine pm in Hastings. He

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>couldn't have been running an errand because most places closed

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>at eight on Sunday night. Maybe he went to the tavern? Okay,

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But did he leave exactly at nine and get back

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>exactly at ten, give or take two minutes? But yeah,

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. It's a ten minute drive to town from

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>our houses, So that means he would have been at

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the tavern for forty in its doesn't feel right, does it?

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>So what's next? You'll keep an eye on it? Sure? Yeah,

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm always in the tree house anyway, I've

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>got nothing else to do. Do you spend every night

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 1>in there? I mean I don't sleep in there? Are

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>you sure? I don't sleep in there very much? But

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>trust me, if you lived with my family, you'd spend

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>all your time somewhere else too. Oh I doubt that

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I'd love a house full of people. Things get boring.

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just me and Joe all the time. I'd kill

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>for a little boring, and i'd kill to have my

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>parents around. Sorry, I didn't mean no, it's totally fine.

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I said that. Oh no, No,

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm sure you missed them a lot. I

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't trying to say that. Yes, of course I do.

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>But I mean it's not like you don't love your parents.

0:05:52.600 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Yeah I do? Right, so so, uh sentimental

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>moment over? Is that what passes for a sentimental moment

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>in your book? Oh? Hey wait, speaking of family, I

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.679
<v Speaker 1>found something out about Beatty yesterday. Only you max, only

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>me what only you would leap from your dead parents

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:28.679
<v Speaker 1>to an investigation? Crap? Sorry, Yeah, I'm seeing the sentimentality

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.919
<v Speaker 1>thing you were talking about. I don't know how you

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>walk around with a heart that big. Come on, Miles,

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Okay, I just i'd say stuff sometimes. Yeah,

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, tell me what you found out? About Mr Beatty. Okay,

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>so apparently Mr Beatty had a family at one point.

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 1>What mm hmm. May Or How mentioned something yesterday and

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>then I tried to ask Joe about it during dinner

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>last night. He wouldn't give me much but just said

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>it was a tragedy, something about Beatty having a wife

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and son. Then tragedy mm hmm. Joe wouldn't tell you

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>anything else. He doesn't. He doesn't really like to talk

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>about that kind of stuff because you know, right well,

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>that definitely is interesting. You know, Beatty having a family,

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a kid. That's so hard to picture. I told you

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't as scary as he seemed. Well, you're also

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the one who wanted to follow him because you think

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>he's like holding Riley captive somewhere. I never said that.

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I just I think it's weird that he's going out

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>at night all the time. We're at the stage of

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the investigation where all potential leads need to be chased down.

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of I have another another what potential lead? Jenna

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>said that Riley's piece for the paper may have been

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a bigger deal than we thought. Bigger deal how corruption

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>scandal something about may Or How I don't have the

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>specifics yet, but there's something there. You're working the store

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon, yep, every afternoon from now until well until

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Riley has found Probably Joe is worried I'm going to

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>do something stupid and dangerous if I'm not occupied. He's

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>not wrong. Shut up. That's good though. You can gather

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>more until about beating maybe even how Yeah, you've got

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>math with THEO right now? Right? Yeah? Could you see

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 1>if he knows anything about the official investigation. I doubt

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>his dad tells him much, but he might have overheard something.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to know where they're at. Um, Why

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>don't you just ask him yourself at lunch? Because just

0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>can you help me out for once? Teller? For once?

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about? Just ask him? Okay, okay, whatever, Max,

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you, have a great day. Why does no one

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>know anything about Mr? Beede? Hi and welcome to Archer's General.

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh hi, Jenna, lovely to see you too, Maxine. Please

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>don't call me that. We don't have any of the

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>new magazine issues in yet. You'll have to come back tomorrow.

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>That's not why I'm here. Then? What are you here

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>for this? What is this? Just read it Jenna, is

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>this a a love letter? What? Why are you giving

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>this to me? Oh? My god, Max, it's not for you.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh m, this is the fourth one I've gotten in

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the past two weeks. They just show up in my locker. Wow,

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that's creepy, right, I was going to say romantic you

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>would You really don't like getting this kind of stuff.

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, whoever it is, he clearly really likes you.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 1>These are poems, Jenna. I know it's so embarrassing. Why

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 1>is that embarrassing? It's all squishy and sensitive? What's your point?

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't do squishy and sensitive? Right? I forgot that

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>you and Ross are basically the same person. What do

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you mean nothing, Jenna? Where are you showing me this?

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Because I want to find out who wrote them? Oh

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that's great. What you like him too, and you want

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to find out who it is so you can tell

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>him what. No, that's not what's happening here. I want

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to find out who it is so I can tell

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>him to stop. Why if you don't know who it is,

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>how do you know you don't like him? Because I

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>just I know, Okay, I don't have time for all

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. Is that why you broke up? With Cody.

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I broke up with Cody because he's a moron and

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a bully. But yes, that was one of several contributing factors.

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So will you help me or not? Jenna? I mean,

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>don't you think there are more important things to focus

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>on than some random love notes? Of course there are, Maxine,

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>but neither of us can do anything to help Riley.

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>And before you start, no, you can't. Max You're fourteen.

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I know that you want to help, and you like

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>this kind of stuff, but this isn't a fun, hardy

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>boy's mystery. This is dangerous, and I'm doing you a

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>favor by giving you something low stakes to focus all

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>that insane energy on. Oh is that why you're doing this?

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>To save me from myself? Someone has to and Ross

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>is too chicken shipped to do it himself. Besides, I

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>have a curious mind too, and I would like to

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>know who has decided to declare their love for me

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in the completely infuriating form of anonymous notes. I do

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>not understand how you don't think it's romantic. Maybe he shy,

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's intimidated by you. Don't you think you should

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>at least just think that some people have reasons to hide,

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and some people are selfish cowards. I have a feeling

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>this guy is the latter. Ease, come on, Max, I

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>gave you that intel on Riley's article. The least you

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>can do is okay, fine, fine, I get it. I'll

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>help things that the store are going. Okay, Yeah, they're fine.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty boring most of the time. It's not exactly

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the most bustling place in Hastings. Is any place in

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Hastings bustling. That's a good point. Yeah, it's one of

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.079
<v Speaker 1>the things I love about this town. Actually, I know everyone,

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and pretty much everyone knows me. There's no getting lost

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in a crowd. I thought you wanted to run off

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to New York the moment you graduated. Well, I mean,

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to visit New York. I'd love to go

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to college there or Boston somewhere with you know, real

0:13:54.600 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>public transportation and museums. But I don't know. I couldn't

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if I ended up back here. Yeah, your

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>dad felt the same way, both your parents. Actually, I mean,

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>we may have all scattered to the winds when high

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 1>school ended, but the winds eventually blew you back to Hastings. Well,

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>once your mom took a teaching post at Hastings High,

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>your dad was always going to be right behind her. Well, yeah,

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's how marriage works. Well no, no, I

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>mean she got that job way before they were married.

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>It was right after college. I think I was still

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>at Hastings, actually in my senior year, and then Mary

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>shows up as the new teacher, and I just knew.

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I knew my brother would be moving back to Yeah,

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they've been in love for so long. With the long

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>distance thing for college, it made it harder. And your

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>dad wasn't gonna let that be a barrier anymore. So

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>he came back to Hastings to be with her. Mm hmmm.

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And then I came back to Hastings to be with you, kiddo.

0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But you like it here, okay, right, I mean I'm

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>not like keeping you here. I mean I can't exactly

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>leave you on supervised, no matter how grown you think

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you are. But I know that. But just because I'm

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>a minor doesn't mean you have to up end your

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>entire life, just Max, Max, Where is this coming from?

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I've just been thinking about family, I guess,

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>just generally speaking, and I don't like the idea that

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you're trapped in this miserable small town existence because of me.

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I am not living in a miserable small town existence. Like. Yes,

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I moved back here to take care of you, but

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>see see, I've ruined your cool city life. But there

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>was never any way I was letting anyone else take

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>care of you. You're my favorite niece, after all, I'm

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>your only niece. Besides, I found things to like about Hastings. Really,

0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.080
<v Speaker 1>like what I'll tell you when you're older. Oh, oh

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>my god, are you dating someone I know I'm still

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a young man. Tell that to your gray hair, Maxine.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Someone has to be brutally honest with you. I look

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror every day. That's enough brutal honesty for me.

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I love my life here with you, Max. I miss

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>your parents every single day. I would do anything to

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>get them back, but I'm so grateful to get to

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>have you as my family. Thanks Joe, me too. What

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>do you think happened to Riley? I don't know, kiddo.

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope nothing bad, but bad things happen sometimes. Bad

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>things happen sometimes, but it's sort of good things. Dinners

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>with my niece. The Harvest festival dogs falling in love?

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>So you are dating someone? I think that you are

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>what I'm not. I'm not dating anyone. What was with

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.399
<v Speaker 1>the note in your backpack? You look through my backpack

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I was putting on the counter and it fell out.

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>So who's the lucky guy? Oh my god, no one,

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you can talk to me about this stuff. It's not

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>for me. What. Oh did you write it? Oh? I

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>guess I was making assumptions based on the whole boy

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.880
<v Speaker 1>meets girl perspective in the poem. But if if there's

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>something you want to talk to me about, Oh my god, no,

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>please stop talking. It's Jenna's She's been getting them in

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>her locker for the past few weeks, and she wanted

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>me to find out who's been leaving them. Got it,

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>she wrote, ju and helping her? Well, I mean, I

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>am known for being good at solving things. I thought

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>you and her were on the outs where we're fine.

0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>We're just not best friends anymore. That happens. People grow up,

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 1>and some people get popular and pretty and become the

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 1>object of a love letter writer's attention, and some of

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>us don't. Max Anyway, I should probably start in on

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 1>my list of suspects so I can interview people at

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:32.959
<v Speaker 1>school tomorrow. Max. Thanks for dinner, Joe. These are all

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 1>of them for now, six letters in three weeks, always

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.280
<v Speaker 1>left between second and third period. Right, what classes do

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>you have? Those periods Math and then Health, which are

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>right down the hall from each other, which means you're

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>never passing your locker when you go to health unless well,

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>do you ever go back for any books? No? I

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>usually bring all my morning class books with me and

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>then do a swap over during lunch. So whoever's leaving

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you these notes must know that they know your locker

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>is going to be clear between those periods, and that

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you'll go to your locker after third period and before lunch.

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>That's creepy. I think that depends on who it is.

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>If it's someone with a locker really near yours, then

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it's possible they're just going to their locker between each

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>period and have just noticed that you're never there. What

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>if it's someone with a locker in a totally different hallway,

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, it would be a little weird for them

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>to know this much about your movements unless they have

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 1>both Math and health with you. Do you share both

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of those classes with anyone. Uh yeah, probably like half

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a dozen people at least. All right, then we'll start there.

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Write down the names of everyone you share both classes with,

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.239
<v Speaker 1>and then the names of anyone in the vicinity of

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>your locker who might have caught onto when you're not there.

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that list and start to narrow down the

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>suspects based on who likes girls, who single, and who

0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>might write you letters rather than just asking you out. Okay,

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and then and then I'll start to interview the suspects,

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 1>suspects whatever you want to call it, potential boyfriends. Whoever

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>is writing these notes is not a potential boyfriend. You

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 1>should at least wait to figure out who it is first. Well,

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:42.919
<v Speaker 1>come on, start writing. Hey, hey, Ross, what are you

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 1>doing here? I thought you had work shot closed early

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.360
<v Speaker 1>for the manager's nephew's birthday or something, so I've got

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the afternoon off. Huh made any breakthroughs? I think I've

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>narrowed it down to three people. Chat Ryan Carter? What

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 1>what would they want with Riley? What? Oh? No, no, sorry,

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 1>not for Riley. This this is a thing for Jenna.

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>What is this her hit list or something sort of?

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>She's trying to figure out who has been leaving her

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>love notes. That's not you, right, I mean, your lucker

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.479
<v Speaker 1>isn't near Jenna's, but you are in her math class.

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>What me is sending Jenna Ambrose love notes? Yeah? I

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.439
<v Speaker 1>thought it was pretty far fetched. That's why you were

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>eliminated early, just double checking. Why is it so far fetched?

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know you and she aren't best buzz anymore,

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 1>but Jenna's cool. We've always gotten along. Are you saying

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you like her? No, I'm not saying it. I just

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>want to know what's so far fetched about it? That's

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>all you. Romancing Jenna is not what's far fetched. I

0:21:55.920 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 1>get it. She's pretty, she's smart, she's popular. I'm sure

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>there are lots of guys in school who would want

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to go out with her. But but the idea of

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you romancing anyone is a little far fetched. Oh, I didn't.

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean that as a bad thing, A right, right? Right? Sorry?

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Did I I feel like I hurt your feelings? No,

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. It's just that you don't seem like the

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.880
<v Speaker 1>type of person who would write a bunch of love letters. Yeah.

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I get it, and that's not a bad thing. I mean,

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>some people just aren't romantic people. Why do you assume

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a romantic person. Well, come on, ros, I mean,

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you've never asked anyone out. I don't think you've ever

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:47.719
<v Speaker 1>had a crush on anyone, which, again, is totally fine.

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Just because I don't go around leaving weird poems and

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.680
<v Speaker 1>people's lockers are talking about my crushes all the time

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that I don't have them. Okay. I just

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>thought maybe I'm just waiting for the right moment, you know,

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>or maybe it's just not worth putting yourself out there

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>when you know for certain that the other person doesn't

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>feel the same way. I mean, you know, I get

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the appeal of staying anonymous. You can test the waters

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 1>without getting hurt. Yeah. I guess that's true. But wait,

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>how did you know the notes were being left in

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>her locker? What? Oh? You mentioned something about my locker

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>not being close, so I just assumed, I mean, you know,

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 1>where else would you leave notes for someone? Okay, but

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 1>you also knew they were poems. How did you know

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:41.919
<v Speaker 1>they were poems? What? I didn't tell you that I need? Um? Ross?

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you write these notes? What? No? No way, I promise.

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>What are you sure you can tell me, trust me, Myles,

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I did not write them. I do not have a

0:23:54.320 --> 0:24:01.680
<v Speaker 1>crush on Jenna. Okay, then how you know who? Don't you?

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>You know who has a crush on Jenna? Maybe I do? Yeah? Who?

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:17.359
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna like it. Maxie Miles was created by
