WEBVTT - Introducing - The Devil's Quarry II: Preview

0:00:00.070 --> 0:00:05.170
<v Speaker 1>This series includes sensitive and potentially distressing topics, including sexual

0:00:05.210 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>assault and abuse involving children. Listener discretion is advised. It's

0:00:26.210 --> 0:00:32.170
<v Speaker 1>two weeks after Halloween 1997. Snows blowing sideways and swirls

0:00:32.270 --> 0:00:36.089
<v Speaker 1>and stabs, stinging the eyes of the cops and firemen

0:00:36.150 --> 0:00:40.060
<v Speaker 1>gathered around Nichols Pond. That's a dark squib of water

0:00:40.100 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in Putnam County, New York, curtained by a stand of woods.

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.970
<v Speaker 2>If anyone wanted to commit a murder, up here would

0:00:48.990 --> 0:00:51.229
<v Speaker 2>be the greatest place in the world to hide the body.

0:00:52.490 --> 0:00:53.390
<v Speaker 2>But no one will find it.

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>The onlookers stamp their feet for warmth as five men

0:00:58.340 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>in dive suits take turns wading in. The pond hasn't

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 1>frozen yet, but has the sharpness of slush as divers

0:01:06.380 --> 0:01:11.780
<v Speaker 1>slide beneath the surface. Several arm lengths from the cop

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>stand a mother and father, eyeing the ripples intently. It

0:01:17.140 --> 0:01:19.900
<v Speaker 1>was a supernatural vision that launched this search.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:26.590
<v Speaker 2>I remember seeing a skull in the pond. The skull

0:01:26.630 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 2>was smiling and the skeleton's hands were outstretched, palms facing outward.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:35.179
<v Speaker 2>It scared me.

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>That's Penny Osborne. She was sure the skull belonged to

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:45.330
<v Speaker 1>a girl. A girl named Robin Murphy. Robin had gone

0:01:45.370 --> 0:01:48.990
<v Speaker 1>missing more than two years prior. Now, long after her

0:01:49.090 --> 0:01:53.350
<v Speaker 1>trail's gone cold. The cops and Robin's parents are hanging

0:01:53.390 --> 0:01:57.490
<v Speaker 1>their hopes on the divers at the bottom of that pond. Well,

0:01:57.510 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that and Penny's paranormal prowess. I'm very agnostic when it

0:02:13.210 --> 0:02:17.610
<v Speaker 1>comes to things like spaceships and God. I look more

0:02:17.930 --> 0:02:23.660
<v Speaker 1>for evidence. That's Anthony DePippo, our protagonist from season one.

0:02:24.660 --> 0:02:26.810
<v Speaker 1>As a man who taught himself the law in prison,

0:02:26.930 --> 0:02:30.870
<v Speaker 1>Anthony's all about facts. But six years ago, when someone

0:02:30.889 --> 0:02:33.770
<v Speaker 1>slipped him Robin's case file, he caught a chill on

0:02:33.790 --> 0:02:38.810
<v Speaker 1>the back of his neck. I feel like, you know,

0:02:38.970 --> 0:02:43.540
<v Speaker 1>like when I get spooked, it's authentic. He was sitting

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>in the study of his penthouse apartment, which he'd purchased

0:02:46.780 --> 0:02:49.910
<v Speaker 1>with a chunk of the $ 12 million payout. for his

0:02:49.970 --> 0:02:54.690
<v Speaker 1>wrongful conviction in the murder of 12-year-old Josette Wright. Now,

0:02:54.770 --> 0:03:00.180
<v Speaker 1>Anthony's a big man, 6'5, and 300 pounds easy. But

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>while reading through that scene, he heard a loud bang

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>behind him and catapulted out of his chair. And the

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.540
<v Speaker 1>picture had fell over, and it got a dent in it,

0:03:11.540 --> 0:03:16.620
<v Speaker 1>and I got spooked. In his parlor, he saw a

0:03:16.660 --> 0:03:20.660
<v Speaker 1>scene from a paranormal flick. His favorite painting had dropped

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>off the wall and been gashed by a selfie stick.

0:03:24.300 --> 0:03:27.230
<v Speaker 1>It was a portrait of Anthony and his hero, Hulk Hogan.

0:03:28.010 --> 0:03:30.950
<v Speaker 1>That stick had opened a gouge over the Hulkster's eye.

0:03:32.169 --> 0:03:36.290
<v Speaker 1>If ghosts are phantoms with unfinished business, Robin Murphy had

0:03:36.330 --> 0:03:42.170
<v Speaker 1>just dropped her card off. I'm bugging out. This is

0:03:42.210 --> 0:03:45.330
<v Speaker 1>really kind of scary. And I didn't look at it

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:51.010
<v Speaker 1>anymore that night. I first met Anthony six years ago,

0:03:51.450 --> 0:03:55.090
<v Speaker 1>around the time he got hold of Robin's file. My

0:03:55.130 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>deep dive feature in Rolling Stone helped to quit his

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>best friend Andy Krivak, who'd also been falsely convicted of

0:04:01.740 --> 0:04:06.180
<v Speaker 1>Josette's murder. Anthony's false conviction for her murder was the

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.620
<v Speaker 1>pinch point of his life. But then a second girl

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>vanished in the span of six months in the sleepy

0:04:13.340 --> 0:04:17.740
<v Speaker 1>little town of Carmel, New York. No, Anthony knew that

0:04:17.779 --> 0:04:21.219
<v Speaker 1>the job wasn't done. Josette's killer was still out there.

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And the man who disappeared Robin as well. In Anthony's mind,

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the same man was responsible for both girls. The devil

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>of Putnam County. And so last year, he asked me

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to return with my shovel. He handed me a copy

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.430
<v Speaker 1>of Robin's case file. I shared it with my team.

0:04:42.029 --> 0:04:45.849
<v Speaker 1>We divvied up its 3,000 pages and promptly went to work.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.529
<v Speaker 1>In the episodes that follow, we'll train her floodlights on

0:04:50.589 --> 0:04:51.270
<v Speaker 1>a phantom.

0:04:54.250 --> 0:04:57.010
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she realized how dangerous this situation was.

0:04:57.890 --> 0:05:00.109
<v Speaker 1>On every move by those Carmel cops.

0:05:00.930 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>They didn't really take the whole thing seriously, I don't think.

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>They actually thought they were going to get a confession

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.260
<v Speaker 1>out of him. On every lead they followed.

0:05:10.060 --> 0:05:14.660
<v Speaker 2>And that's exactly what made us all think he had

0:05:14.700 --> 0:05:15.500
<v Speaker 2>something to do with it.

0:05:16.540 --> 0:05:17.619
<v Speaker 1>You want to see a real ghost?

0:05:18.580 --> 0:05:20.469
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah. Why?

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.750
<v Speaker 1>Because the devil's in those details. And we'll find him there.

0:05:33.670 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you hear my madness? Laughter hides my fears.

0:05:47.040 --> 0:06:08.779
<v Speaker 1>Sorrow's depths are endless in this valley of tears. I'm

0:06:08.820 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Paul Solitarov, and this is Season 2 of The Devil's Quarry.
