Speaker 5: Hm.
Speaker 6: You don't mind? Do you want being taped?
Speaker 7: Nah?
Speaker 6: If I did, then I'd probably need to rethink my profession,
Speaker 6: wouldn't I. So usually I'm the one pressing record, you know,
Speaker 6: on my phone, not something so antique vintage.
Speaker 8: It's how we do it back home.
Speaker 6: Really, I mean, I could have guessed you weren't from here, but.
Speaker 8: A reminder that we're not here to talk about me,
Speaker 8: but rather you missus Simmons.
Speaker 6: J Just Sarah's fine, right, Well, let's.
Speaker 8: See, Sarah Simmons. You graduated mid top of your class
Speaker 8: at Northeastern. Both parents are school teachers, so I imagine
Speaker 8: you'll be paying that off for a while, held a
Speaker 8: couple of odd assistant jobs after UNI, but for months
Speaker 8: now unemployed.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry you have a file on me.
Speaker 8: It's not hard when you lay out your entire life
Speaker 8: for the whole online world to see.
Speaker 6: Wait, you get internet.
Speaker 8: You're a person of interest in a possible murder, and
Speaker 8: that's your question. If I get Internet?
Speaker 6: Well, how close from passable to confirmed?
Speaker 8: Close enough that I wouldn't be so unconcerned if I
Speaker 8: were you.
Speaker 6: I know I didn't do anything, so I've got nothing
Speaker 6: to worry about.
Speaker 8: So it's pure luck that you turn up in Danville
Speaker 8: just as the town sees its first real crime in decades.
Speaker 6: Like I already told you, I was on my way
Speaker 6: back from doing research at the reserve when your car
Speaker 6: broke down.
Speaker 8: Yes I remember, but you don't believe me. I don't
Speaker 8: believe in coincidences, so much so in fact, that I've
Speaker 8: built my career in dismantling them.
Speaker 6: Must be quite a record. Then if you ended up
Speaker 6: here in Danville, a town which, how did you put it,
Speaker 6: hasn't seen a real crime in decades, that's a.
Speaker 8: Fine line you're walking. Miss Simmons, Best be careful not
Speaker 8: to fall.
Speaker 6: Hasn't seen a real crime. You haven't seen a real crime,
Speaker 6: hasn't seen a real crime decade.
Speaker 7: I don't believe in coincidence.
Speaker 6: I don't believe in analog, not without its quirks. We're
Speaker 6: busy in here, Oldbert, just want to.
Speaker 1: Let you know that we finally identified the remains.
Speaker 6: Wait here, Okay. Sophie sheriff, who by the way, is
Speaker 6: not vibing with me at all, just stepped out after
Speaker 6: her Sideka came in looking like a spooked walrus, saying
Speaker 6: they identified the body. Now they're out there talking, arguing,
Speaker 6: hold on, I'm gonna get a better view. Okay, I
Speaker 6: can't hear what they're saying, but she doesn't look happy.
Speaker 6: He's explaining. She's not having it. He's shaking his head,
Speaker 6: and they keep repeating something not Alfonso, either that or
Speaker 6: how potato. I don't really wish i'd taking that lip
Speaker 6: reading classic crap. Now they're pointing at me and she's
Speaker 6: turned shit. Well, miss Simmons, Sarah, you are free to go.
Speaker 6: How come h excuse me? A moment ago you were
Speaker 6: a hair's breath away from accusing me of murder. But
Speaker 6: now I just pick up and go.
Speaker 8: That's right, you're no longer of interest to this investigation.
Speaker 6: Which means I have an alibi. So then the murder
Speaker 6: must have happened before I got to town, or better yet,
Speaker 6: while I.
Speaker 7: Was with Jack.
Speaker 6: That's quite the deduction. It makes sense if the body
Speaker 6: you found wasn't someone else's body is putting it generously,
Speaker 6: So who is it?
Speaker 9: A local?
Speaker 6: Aaron McDonald?
Speaker 8: And like you said, your alibi is saw So I
Speaker 8: recommend leaving before the frenzy arrives. The last thing this
Speaker 8: town needs is another gossip with a mic. And if
Speaker 8: I don't, then you'll see that a tape recorder is
Speaker 8: not my only old Habit won't be the first time
Speaker 8: I deal with unwanted attention. It certainly won't be the last.
Speaker 6: Right, got it? You never answered my question?
Speaker 8: Which one?
Speaker 6: If you get internet, no, we get facts.
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, you're out.
Speaker 11: I tried asking Albert what was taking this long? But
Speaker 11: the man, somehow, for the first time in his life,
Speaker 11: decided to take a.
Speaker 12: Vow of silence and then then made me wait outside
Speaker 12: because I was quote unquote disturbing police protocol, which I
Speaker 12: don't think is even a real thing.
Speaker 11: And then I heard the news about Erin and he
Speaker 11: wouldn't tell me if you needed a lawyer.
Speaker 6: Whoa whoa, whoa hold on? Did you think I was
Speaker 6: getting arrested?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 10: No, yesterday I thought I lived in a safe town.
Speaker 10: And now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 6: Oh, ye have little faith. I'm fine and I don't
Speaker 6: need a lawyer, though I am fascinated to know what
Speaker 6: ace defense attorney you'd call on if I did or
Speaker 6: did I miss a firm on my way in.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're right, you probably wouldn't be any good or
Speaker 11: she Really, you're making a case for gender equality in
Speaker 11: a hypothetically shitty lawyer.
Speaker 6: Women have just as much a right to mediocrity as
Speaker 6: men do.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna stop now because this feels like a trap.
Speaker 7: So so what now?
Speaker 6: Well the sheriff said, I'm free to go all clear.
Speaker 10: That's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no it is.
Speaker 6: I guess I just started to like it here in Danville.
Speaker 6: Oh gruesome death notwithstanding.
Speaker 10: Of course, Yeah, yeah, of course, So you're gonna.
Speaker 6: Go go that's the plan. I mean, this whole murder thing,
Speaker 6: it's it's not really my beat.
Speaker 10: You know, can't force put us in there exactly.
Speaker 11: Well, the Tunnell messie.
Speaker 6: Somehow I doubt that part of it.
Speaker 10: Well, so this is it.
Speaker 11: Thus the greatest adventure known to man and woman comes
Speaker 11: to a close.
Speaker 6: One final hurrah. Come on, that was weak.
Speaker 3: I'll work on it.
Speaker 6: Well, oh yeah, bring it in. We're doing Yeah, see
Speaker 6: you not not it is? How hard is it to
Speaker 6: just hug?
Speaker 7: But no?
Speaker 6: You just had to make it weird?
Speaker 13: Why Sarah?
Speaker 6: Why? Okay? Let's see, I think everything. No Christmas sweater?
Speaker 6: I know I put it here somewhere, I think think
Speaker 6: where was it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: Sorry, I didn't think there was anyone in here?
Speaker 7: It's fine.
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to.
Speaker 13: Are you okay?
Speaker 9: It's nothing?
Speaker 6: Hate to be that person, but doesn't look like nothing.
Speaker 6: You sure you're okay?
Speaker 9: What do you care?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a human being with empathy. It's kind of hardwired.
Speaker 9: Aren't you leaving or something?
Speaker 6: Listen, kid, you're young. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll pass.
Speaker 6: Just give it some time.
Speaker 9: Oh really? So how long I gotta wait for someone
Speaker 9: to come back to life?
Speaker 14: A year?
Speaker 9: Maybe two?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, didn't think so, did you know?
Speaker 6: Aaron?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 9: Now I'm fucking crying for a stranger. What do you think?
Speaker 14: Right?
Speaker 6: Dumb question?
Speaker 9: Sorry, you're just like them, you know, like who my
Speaker 9: parents this town. They all think they know better because
Speaker 9: they're older like us, kids are just stupid.
Speaker 6: I'm sure that's not.
Speaker 9: We hear things, you know, when they whisper or when
Speaker 9: they think they're alone.
Speaker 14: What do you hear?
Speaker 9: They say? The secrets are for our own good? But
Speaker 9: I know they're lying, and Aaron knew it too. But
Speaker 9: now she's gone and they still won't say the truth.
Speaker 6: Avery, what do you hear?
Speaker 9: You don't want to know?
Speaker 13: Avery, stop bothering our guest. Oh sorry, dear, did I
Speaker 13: startle you?
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, that's not I just didn't hear you
Speaker 6: come in, and he's not bothering me.
Speaker 8: I mean, Avery, come on, I told you to get dressed.
Speaker 6: Your suit's been laid out.
Speaker 13: On your bed all morning.
Speaker 9: Yeah, whatever, Sorry about that.
Speaker 13: He's been taking all this pretty hard.
Speaker 6: He was friends with Aaron, right, friends falls a bit short.
Speaker 13: He never told us, but Jack and I saw how
Speaker 13: they were together ever since they were little. And Ah,
Speaker 13: now that poor girl. I can't imagine what her parents
Speaker 13: are going through right now.
Speaker 6: It must be unbearable.
Speaker 13: Well, we're seeing them later today. Don't know how much
Speaker 13: help a cast role will be, but I hope a
Speaker 13: friendly face does better.
Speaker 6: Did you know the McDonald's will know them?
Speaker 13: We grew up together right here in this very town.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, that's a really long time. I mean, wasn't
Speaker 6: referring to your age or anything, and I should probably
Speaker 6: shut up, untaken. I just meant, I don't think there's
Speaker 6: anyone in my life that I've known for longer than
Speaker 6: a couple of years. Only family.
Speaker 16: I suppose that's what happens when you joined the great
Speaker 16: big world out there. Everything's so bright and flashy, but
Speaker 16: it's also fast and fast to move on. That's why
Speaker 16: we value what we have here, even if others don't.
Speaker 6: Right, you got all your things almost just missing one sweater.
Speaker 6: I know I brought it with me, so it has
Speaker 6: to be run here somewhere.
Speaker 13: You mean this one?
Speaker 6: Ah found it? Do you think it'll be much longer
Speaker 6: for my car?
Speaker 14: Buster says the parts are delayed. Oh so how do
Speaker 14: I There's a bus leaving for Boston at eight.
Speaker 6: I can drive you to the station, but I can't
Speaker 6: just leave my car here.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you'll have to. I spoke to Sheriff Allen. She
Speaker 14: wants you on your way tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she made that pretty obvious.
Speaker 14: Here I'll take that.
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, no, you don't have to. It's oh okay, goodbye, Sarah.
Speaker 6: It was great meeting you. Yeah. Likewise, Hey, I'm sorry,
Speaker 6: could you so don't want to be late. I'm really
Speaker 6: not in that big hurry.
Speaker 14: Well you should be. Look, I'm sure you're aware of
Speaker 14: Miss Simmons. This town's going through something horrible right now,
Speaker 14: and we need to focus on our own, which means
Speaker 14: the last thing we need is an outsider with prying eyes.
Speaker 14: Sheriff Allen understands that, and I hope you do as well.
Speaker 6: Seems like I went from Sarah to Miss Simmons real quick.
Speaker 6: You're the one who invited me.
Speaker 14: That was before, and now I'm saying you should go
Speaker 14: here after you.

Speaker 6: so i'd hope.
Speaker 18: So where have you been and why haven't you been
Speaker 18: answering my colt? Every single one goes a voicemail.
Speaker 6: Well, that would be because the specific region of the
Speaker 6: US discovered time travel and has since decided that the
Speaker 6: late eighteen hundreds is where we peaked. Why never mind?
Speaker 17: Is is mom?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 15: Now you want to know?
Speaker 18: Really, she fell going up the stairs, didn't even make
Speaker 18: it off the ground, thankfully nothing broke.
Speaker 6: So then why'd you say she was admitted?
Speaker 17: What?
Speaker 7: No, I didn't.
Speaker 15: That wasn't about Mom.
Speaker 6: Yeah you did. You said something something intensive care and
Speaker 6: that she was admitted to the hospital.
Speaker 15: No, that's not that's not why we were there. Listen,
Speaker 15: when are you coming back?
Speaker 18: Dana's out in the field asking when I'm going to
Speaker 18: come see her, and I can't keep selling on my wife.
Speaker 7: You need to help with mom.
Speaker 6: But you're better with her.
Speaker 18: Of course, I'm better with her. That's what happens when
Speaker 18: you practice something you obvious would know. Since you're all gallivanting,
Speaker 18: you know where?
Speaker 6: Okay, First, of all props on the vocab. Didn't expect
Speaker 6: that from you. And secondly, you know the town where
Speaker 6: a girl got chopped up? Well, guess where I am.
Speaker 15: What are you talking about?
Speaker 6: What am I talking about? I'm talking about the murder
Speaker 6: and disappearance in small town New Hampshire.
Speaker 14: What do you think?
Speaker 6: I'm sure it's all over the news by now. So yeah,
Speaker 6: I've been a little busy being interrogated. Sorry, are you
Speaker 6: making this uck?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 15: And what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 7: Sarah?
Speaker 6: A girl was found murdered here, or parts of her were,
Speaker 6: at least, and then some guy straight up disappeared from
Speaker 6: his work. Are you really telling me you haven't heard
Speaker 6: about this?
Speaker 18: No, Sarah, I haven't heard, and I have been watching
Speaker 18: the news because that's what you do when your little
Speaker 18: sister doesn't answer the vote for two days. I thought
Speaker 18: something might have happened to you.
Speaker 6: It was not two days, got it? Well I'm fine?
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, you're coming home?
Speaker 6: Are you sure you haven't heard about this? Something like
Speaker 6: I don't know the Danville deadening.
Speaker 18: The next door suburbia would be imploding. So no, no
Speaker 18: breaking news here.
Speaker 6: Ship that's my buss. I gotta go aware.
Speaker 7: Platform two.
Speaker 10: Sorry, like I said, the library still close. Hey, you're
Speaker 10: really gonna have to come back another Oh you're back,
Speaker 10: miss me much?
Speaker 11: What happened to you?
Speaker 10: Oh this?
Speaker 6: Well, since there are no buses destination Danville, I had
Speaker 6: to with the trucker who wouldn't shut up about fishing line,
Speaker 6: And since the route only went as far as Woodstone Creek,
Speaker 6: I had to splash through a field for the last
Speaker 6: two miles here, Hence the mud and the dirt and
Speaker 6: the grass where no grass should ever grass.
Speaker 11: Okay, let me make sure I'm getting this right. You're
Speaker 11: not only hitchhike with a complete stranger, but also walk
Speaker 11: two miles alone in the dark while there's a murderer
Speaker 11: on the loose.
Speaker 6: In hindsight, I should be dead.
Speaker 10: What do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 6: It was a lady trucker.
Speaker 11: Women have just as much right to be murderers as
Speaker 11: men do.
Speaker 6: Oh shut up, so, mister lead tenant. I know it's
Speaker 6: no high rise, but maybe you've got an extra room.
Speaker 10: You're here for business or pleasure?
Speaker 6: Who says it can't be both?
Speaker 4: H m hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm.
Speaker 10: Grassiers, do you see the Grassiers, hell, please.
Speaker 5: Scientific nobody. We're gonna trusted right now. I seem like
Speaker 5: theater accommodations. When start from stress of friends.
Speaker 10: You hear me, Ma, I'm hurt, and I think, don't
Speaker 10: think I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 5: I see coming as I just give myself friend.
