Speaker 1: Hmm. Let your breath fall in and out. Just read
Speaker 1: mm hmmm. I have to admit it's hard to relax
Speaker 1: given everything I just told you, But that's what these
Speaker 1: singing bowls are for. Mr Morelli. The sound vibrations will
Speaker 1: help your body enter a state of deep relaxation. So
Speaker 1: breathing in and breathing out good. Just follow where the
Speaker 1: sounds take you. Hm hmm. I seem to have left
Speaker 1: my shooting box next door. Continue that deep breathing and
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Mm hmmm. So what does a
Speaker 1: shrewdy box anyway? Really? But everyone just is ridiculous. It's
Speaker 1: going to be all right. Can you do it for
Speaker 1: your father? To creezad? Oh my god, look shy, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, breathing, Oh my god, that job god. People.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Solve, the interactive mystery podcast where you don't
Speaker 1: just hear about crimes, you solve them. Each episode will

Speaker 1: You're the detective. This is your case, can you solve it?
Speaker 1: Solve presents family feud. Thank you for Halio. That will
Speaker 1: be all and make sure no one comes onto the
Speaker 1: veranda while we're out here. Of course, you think I
Speaker 1: killed my dad, that's why you're walking to me first. Well,
Speaker 1: write this down. I wanted in black and white. I
Speaker 1: did not, could not, would not hurt my own father. Look,
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not a hysterical mess. So I
Speaker 1: look suspicious. But everyone grieves differently, and my father taught
Speaker 1: me to never show weakness. So here we are. This
Speaker 1: whole god forsaken spa trip was my father's idea. Oh Dad, huh. Ever,
Speaker 1: the master manipulator. He wanted to keep all of us
Speaker 1: on this compound in the middle of the freaking desert
Speaker 1: and have us duke it out old school show of
Speaker 1: love and work ethic. Well he got what he wished for.
Speaker 1: Holy fuck, it's hot his balls. What's your mouth, Benji,
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone, always on the phone. Face so sorry,
Speaker 1: I mean, Piper, It's called work. Try it sometimes, trust me.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I like it out here. Oh look, Satan
Speaker 1: spawn likes the heat. You. Dorian is so glad to
Speaker 1: see you made it. Don't be a dick me, how
Speaker 1: Mr child Woo, that's stop number? You know? Mind being
Speaker 1: called satan spawn do you Dorean? Well, if anything is
Speaker 1: an insult to your mom, not you boy about mom. God,
Speaker 1: It's like I always say, Meredith, children can't live with him,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm never having him. Oh, Benjamin, I
Speaker 1: didn't know someone was waiting to bear your child. That
Speaker 1: great call in the desert getaway sarcasm is an appalling habit. Sorry, sir,
Speaker 1: good to see you all finally decided to show up.
Speaker 1: Meredith and I have been here for an hour. Where
Speaker 1: are Piper and Dorian? We're supposed to be connecting as
Speaker 1: a family. Excuse me, I have to take this since
Speaker 1: when does Mr laid Back jump for a ringing phone?
Speaker 1: Piper thought she was Dad's favorite, but everyone knew it
Speaker 1: was me and that drove her crazy. Worked yourself like
Speaker 1: a dog, and it was never good enough for dad.
Speaker 1: But Dad had a soft spot for me. It's firstborn.
Speaker 1: So you forgot your credit card in the room? Oh shit,
Speaker 1: this is the one link to my dad's account, right,
Speaker 1: that's right, sir, cool, I'm good. Thanks for helly y'all.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this though, my dad purposely brought us
Speaker 1: to the middle of the desert to mine funck us.
Speaker 1: He was playing chicken with our heads and one of
Speaker 1: us cracked. You know who really couldn't hand of the pressure, Dorian?
Speaker 1: That kid is weird man. Meredith doesn't like anyone to know,
Speaker 1: but we all can see what a freak he is.
Speaker 1: Lizard lizard lizard, you lizard lizard. Yeah, missed so fast, couch, Dorian.
Speaker 1: You're not going rocks it lizards again? Are you? And
Speaker 1: I get two seconds to myself? Mom? And why are
Speaker 1: you wearing high heels in the desert? You look stupid.
Speaker 1: I've been looking everywhere for you. The whole family is
Speaker 1: moving into the cabin, so what are you doing all
Speaker 1: the way out here? Earlier? Can unpack my bags, come
Speaker 1: inside and join the group. Your father expects you to
Speaker 1: be already think I'm a psycho. Mom, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I start almost feel bad for mom. She's
Speaker 1: not very smart. She married my dad for his money
Speaker 1: after Benji and Piper's mom died. Total code digger. I
Speaker 1: didn't mean that. Why did I say that? Did I
Speaker 1: see that? Such an idiot? God? Um, look, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know who killed my dad. I swear, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't me. I would never hurt anything. Oh, lizard here, lizard, lizard, lizard, lizard. Heybody,
Speaker 1: slow down, slow, oh, Dorian. Dorian is well. James and
Speaker 1: I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars when he was
Speaker 1: a child to try and figure out what was what
Speaker 1: was wrong with him, But no one could give me
Speaker 1: anything definitive, so we just learned to live with his peculiarities.
Speaker 1: I just I just say that he's my special boy.
Speaker 1: I know if he only spent more time learning the
Speaker 1: family business than he did kicking rocks and animals, he
Speaker 1: could be so successful. But I really thought james Is
Speaker 1: announcement would get Dorrian to change what you stopped everyone
Speaker 1: set out. First of all, thanks for coming all this way.
Speaker 1: I thought it was important for us to connect now
Speaker 1: that I'm almost dead. Fiber, I came to this country
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen years old with just twenty dollars
Speaker 1: in my pocket, and I built a distribution company that
Speaker 1: I can be proud of billion dollars as of this morning.
Speaker 1: Roughly as I was saying, I'm old that I'm not
Speaker 1: a fool, I know which way the wind is blowing,
Speaker 1: meaning what that I'm passing off the company. Honey, I
Speaker 1: will make my final decision on Friday, So try and
Speaker 1: enjoy the week and don't suck up to me too much.
Speaker 1: All right, let's say damn it, Dad, I just want
Speaker 1: to say. I think it's brave of you to admit
Speaker 1: that you're ready to pass the torch to us, the
Speaker 1: younger generation. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision. Now
Speaker 1: you just have to let us show you how smart
Speaker 1: we are. I have to use the restaurant. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: pardon me, sir, but I couldn't help. But notice you
Speaker 1: left abruptly. Is everything all right? Am I making a
Speaker 1: mistake here? In thirty five years, I've yet to see
Speaker 1: you make one mistake. Oh blow smoke up my ass.
Speaker 1: You don't make mistakes. You test options. You know what
Speaker 1: I see, sir. I see a man who has the
Speaker 1: life experience to know what's right. M m hm hm.
Speaker 1: I don't deserve you, Roelio, Thank you, sir. I was
Speaker 1: proud to serve Mr Morelli. I've been in his side
Speaker 1: for the best and worst of times. When his first
Speaker 1: wife passed, the man was so distraught the business seemed
Speaker 1: like it would fail in his absence. I don't think
Speaker 1: you'd mind me saying it was I who stepped in
Speaker 1: and covered for him. He just needed some time. So
Speaker 1: you could say that without me, there would be no
Speaker 1: Morelli enterprises today, and that's why Mr Morelli put me
Speaker 1: in his will. Still, his family treated me like a
Speaker 1: common servant. Would you like some wine, Miss Piper? No
Speaker 1: none for me, Ralio, but fetch me some sparkling water.
Speaker 1: Everything okay, dear find Meredith. Ah, you look radiant tonight,
Speaker 1: by the way, absolutely glowing. Thank you. If I didn't
Speaker 1: know any better, I think you are pregnant. But it's
Speaker 1: bad luck to deny a pregnancy. Motherhood was the best
Speaker 1: thing that ever happened to me. I haven't told anyone.
Speaker 1: It's still really early. Please don't tell my dad. Your
Speaker 1: secret is safe with me. Excuse me? Where was I? Oh? Good, James,
Speaker 1: You're back comes it comes it. We're all still reeling
Speaker 1: from your exciting announcement. But I'd like to give a toast.
Speaker 1: This will prove to be a truly special week to
Speaker 1: family to fall for laxy stuff. Dorian, Honey, you enjoying
Speaker 1: your massage? Yeah, you know you have come so far.
Speaker 1: When you were a boy, you would scream bloody murder
Speaker 1: if anyone touched you now, could you What do you
Speaker 1: think about your father's announcement? Oh? Could you get my
Speaker 1: upper arms and shoulders they're sore from yesterday's workout. Ah,
Speaker 1: there you go. I am so proud of your father
Speaker 1: for taking time for himself in the later years of
Speaker 1: his life. All of my men coming into their own. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a big opportunity. Dorian. Why are you just saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: don't you care about your future because he isn't going
Speaker 1: to give me the company? Why would you say that?
Speaker 1: Because it's true. You just have to make him see
Speaker 1: how brilliant you are, sweetie, and you are. You are brilliant.
Speaker 1: I'm your mother, and I know what is best for you. Listen,
Speaker 1: you can do it. I believe in you. Okay, Mom, Okay,
Speaker 1: I love you. Yeah you too, Oh Benjamin, Dorian and
Speaker 1: I were just finishing up. Come on, Dorian, Dorian, you're
Speaker 1: getting a massage that I didn't like it when people
Speaker 1: touched you know, I do, It's just sometimes I don't whatever, Okay,
Speaker 1: totally normal guy, fucking it. He has a conneption if
Speaker 1: you hug him. But he's cool with a massage, and
Speaker 1: that's is so just he's not trustworthy. I mean, for real,
Speaker 1: though he's always given me the heady jeemies creepy creepy dude,
Speaker 1: and after that weird running, I definitely needed a massage,
Speaker 1: but of course I was rudely interrupted. Ah, I like
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, dude. Yeah, that's good. There you
Speaker 1: are Jesus Christ, Piper. What the hell are you kidding
Speaker 1: me with the massage right now? What did you sleep
Speaker 1: through Dad's big announcement last night or what? We're not
Speaker 1: here from massages. We're here to win a company, so
Speaker 1: I'm on it. Bullshit, But I have a plan you
Speaker 1: don't even want to hear mine. Does yours involve getting
Speaker 1: a rub and tug? Because no, we've got to get
Speaker 1: ahead of this. I say we tag team Dad, turn
Speaker 1: him against Dorian. Wait, do you think that's really going
Speaker 1: to consider Satan's spawn? Dorian is the only option besides us,
Speaker 1: And you know that Meredith is in Dad's ears constantly
Speaker 1: buzzing about her weird golden boy. But if we're a
Speaker 1: team and we show him how insane that kid is,
Speaker 1: then Dad can't not choose us. So what will you go? Fift? Well,
Speaker 1: since it's my idea and I already worked within the company. Well,
Speaker 1: I worked there too. Sometimes the balls on this chick,
Speaker 1: I don't need you. In fact, teaming up with you
Speaker 1: as a risk I can't take. I lose my stock
Speaker 1: options and fucked. I guess what. Dad can't stand you,
Speaker 1: he told me himself, probably because you're adopted. I'm not five.
Speaker 1: That adoption line doesn't work on me anymore. And if
Speaker 1: Dad can't stand anyone, it's you. Whatever you have to
Speaker 1: tell yourself. So that's it. We're going it alone. That's it. Shit. Uh,
Speaker 1: I gotta take this. What the hell? I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: been surprised that Benji would throw his only sister under
Speaker 1: the bus, but it hurts. He was so cut throat,
Speaker 1: you know, he killed just to keep his goddamn stock options.
Speaker 1: Benshi was acting odd from the start, in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Whenever you'd catch him unawares, he'd be wild eyed and sweaty,
Speaker 1: but in the next breath he'd flip the switch and
Speaker 1: be back to wise cracking. Oh. On Wednesday morning, I
Speaker 1: found him kissing up to James. Yeah. I heard the
Speaker 1: whole thing while meditating next door. The walls are made
Speaker 1: of straw, you know. I was skeptical at first, Dad,
Speaker 1: But I think this place is really something special good.
Speaker 1: It's given any time to think, you know, to brainstorm
Speaker 1: about ideas for the company. How so well, it seems
Speaker 1: to me that if we want to capture larger slice
Speaker 1: of the marketplace, we should, you know, stay ahead of
Speaker 1: the curve. I mean, have you thought about drone power
Speaker 1: delivery services? Interesting? I've got a ton of ideas like that.
Speaker 1: They just come to me all day long. You're not
Speaker 1: gambling anymore than I haven't been to a casino going
Speaker 1: on six years. You know that. Uh well, it's not
Speaker 1: that yours is a stupid idea, son, it's just common.
Speaker 1: But then you'd have to be in on internal company
Speaker 1: discussions to know that we do, in fact have a
Speaker 1: drone fleet, but it's focused on delivering secure packages within
Speaker 1: the military. Oh it was Piper's idea. Actually, I see,
Speaker 1: so the military delivering weapons or ramo or whatever. In
Speaker 1: today's call out culture, I don't know, imagine the Twitter
Speaker 1: takedown and social justice warriors got a whiff of that.
Speaker 1: Now we have to think of our brand. It's not
Speaker 1: a bad point, I know, it's not. Piper is stuck.
Speaker 1: You can't lead a company with a play by the
Speaker 1: rules mindset. You do. If you keep this up, I
Speaker 1: can see a place for you at the table. So
Speaker 1: I'm in the stupid little hut next door, trying to
Speaker 1: focus on my breath while meditating. But all I can
Speaker 1: think about is Benji weaseling his way in with James
Speaker 1: like that. Disgraceful. Of course I said something to James
Speaker 1: the minute he returned to our room. How is your
Speaker 1: son and my love? I'm thirsty? I bet hey, let
Speaker 1: me rub your feet. It feels great. Thank you. Of
Speaker 1: course you know I couldn't help. But overhear your conversation
Speaker 1: with Benji during my meditation session. Oh is it considered
Speaker 1: spying when the walls are made of grass? Deer? Well,
Speaker 1: what do you think? The boy is clearly trying to
Speaker 1: reform his ways, But do you believe him? He's been
Speaker 1: acting oddly? M I agree. I'm sorry to say I
Speaker 1: I don't think he can be trusted, not right now.
Speaker 1: You never stop worrying about your children. You never stop
Speaker 1: being a parent until, of course, you become a grandparent grandparent.
Speaker 1: I wasn't supposed to say anything. Did bench you get
Speaker 1: some girls pregnant? Not that I know of Piper. Is
Speaker 1: she pregnant? You didn't hear it from me? Well, why
Speaker 1: would she keep that from me? Motherhood is a big calling.
Speaker 1: Maybe she fears it would negatively affect her work. This
Speaker 1: changes everything. I don't say anything, my love. She's not
Speaker 1: telling people yet. Of course, not come here line with
Speaker 1: me yet. Well, Meredith was right about one thing. The
Speaker 1: walls are thin. Yeah, I heard her. Whatever, I'm used
Speaker 1: to it. So my family doesn't support me. Whatever. I
Speaker 1: just keep doing my thing. Dad saw how hard I worked.
Speaker 1: I deserve the company. I mean, I'm working my ass
Speaker 1: off while being pregnant. Do you know how tired you
Speaker 1: are in the first trimester? Honestly, Meredith can go fuck.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. She is so manipulative. She drives me crazy.
Speaker 1: Another delicious meal, Dad, I didn't cook it, Piper, but
Speaker 1: you organized it. Thank you. You got some brown stuff
Speaker 1: on your nose. Pie. You went to talk, Benji. We
Speaker 1: all see you sneaking around, sucking up to Dad. This
Speaker 1: father and son bonding. You're the worst one. You can
Speaker 1: do it. Okay? Oh shit, look, James, my love Dorian
Speaker 1: has something he wants to share. Hey, Dad, Um, so
Speaker 1: I was thinking spick up son, I cat her. Oh
Speaker 1: well I was. I was thinking about some ideas for
Speaker 1: you know, the company that I thought you might like,
Speaker 1: sort of you know, well, it's well, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like like this. Um oh, social media. We're being pushed
Speaker 1: out by satan spawn? You're right? Are you really that stupid?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't tie myself to you if you were the
Speaker 1: only block of wood floating by in this empty ocean
Speaker 1: of a family reunion? You're done? What are you talking
Speaker 1: about that's going to choose me? What did you do?
Speaker 1: I just reminded that of your nature, you know how
Speaker 1: you're afraid of breaking the rules. God, I could killed you.
Speaker 1: Piper is everything? Okay? Stay out of this, Meredith. We
Speaker 1: all know how good you are with secrets. Oh dear,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to,
Speaker 1: but don't be so angry. You can't let those hormones
Speaker 1: get the best of you. What's going on here? Just
Speaker 1: Piper being Piper? Dad, go check on her, please. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Piper locked herself in her room. The ice Princess didn't
Speaker 1: want anyone to see her cry. Everything with the morales
Speaker 1: is big, dramatic. You know, I'm up two hours before
Speaker 1: and two hours after all of them. I never take
Speaker 1: a vacation, but you don't see me crying in my room.
Speaker 1: I have to make sure their lives are in other
Speaker 1: especially Mr Morale. If it won't for me, Meredith would
Speaker 1: run right over him. Come here, honey, Yeah, James sweeny. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just not in the mood. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: What's I'm just I'm I'm worried about Dorian. Now. He
Speaker 1: told me he's been wanting to spend more time with you,
Speaker 1: but it's been so hard with you working so much.
Speaker 1: The boy needs his father. See, I just worried that
Speaker 1: he barely knows you. With Benji and Piper, you were
Speaker 1: just starting out. Then you had more time for them,
Speaker 1: but by the time Dorian came along, you were already.
Speaker 1: James MORRELLI I'm sorry. I'm not blaming you. You do
Speaker 1: so much for your family. I'm sorry. It's just don't cry.
Speaker 1: Shook her face. Dorian has very good idea. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think good enough to consider passing off the company. Maybe
Speaker 1: him maybe. Oh. I love you, I really do. Oh.
Speaker 1: I can't take this chop at the Lizard. It's just
Speaker 1: no way. Hey, Dorian, hyper leave me. Alone. You know
Speaker 1: that people who torture animals end up being serial killers. Right,
Speaker 1: do you think Dad's gonna give his company to a
Speaker 1: serial killer? I didn't I didn't do anything, Paul. Dorian
Speaker 1: is everything. Okay, Why are you wearing just a sheet? Hyper?
Speaker 1: Leave Dorian alone? Are protecting him, Meredith? In fact, Dad
Speaker 1: should know how he spends his time. Dad, what is
Speaker 1: going on out here? Piper stuff? You're just emotional because
Speaker 1: you go to hell, Meredith, Dad, look what Dorian does
Speaker 1: for fun? Did you kill that lizard? Dorian? Don't answer that,
Speaker 1: Dorian and know he was He was supposed to run
Speaker 1: away before I could kill I didn't mean to your
Speaker 1: family awaking the coyotes. Last is always Benjie Piper gotten
Speaker 1: into you. I'm not your mindless worker, be Dad. I
Speaker 1: deserved the company. Whoa whoa. If anyone deserves it, it's
Speaker 1: your firstborn. I think I deserve it because I have
Speaker 1: the best ideas. And Dad even Dorian. His phone rang
Speaker 1: and he turned into a ten year old boy. Ben.
Speaker 1: She just never grew up. He has a problem. I guess. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really sad. But in the moment we all went
Speaker 1: for blood, and maybe we made him snap. Who's always
Speaker 1: calling you? Benji? Yeah? Benji? What's going on? No near business?
Speaker 1: Let me see your phone? Son, Give it to me. Dad, No, Benjamin? Hello,
Speaker 1: who is this? This is James Morelli. Why are you
Speaker 1: calling my son? I see I can explain how much
Speaker 1: you're gambling again, only with friends. It's under control, Dad,
Speaker 1: I swear Jesus Christ, what's wrong with you? Answer your father? Benjamin?
Speaker 1: How much? Seven? What kind of friends? Stay out of this? Hello? Yes,
Speaker 1: call the most recent number on Benji's phone. Get the
Speaker 1: people's information. I gotta wire them seven d dollars to
Speaker 1: save my delinquent subs. Right away, your phone, Benjamin, that
Speaker 1: I don't need you to there you go, Hell you,
Speaker 1: I don't want to see and if your faces until tomorrow,
Speaker 1: we're doing a sound bath in the morning. Until then,
Speaker 1: I need a break from all of you, from you
Speaker 1: to Meredith. I'll sleep in a different room tonight. James,
Speaker 1: this is all your fault. Jesus can't You're gonna hurt yourself. Dorian, child,
Speaker 1: it is over. And if they've fucked it all up,
Speaker 1: that's never gonna trust me. Now. I swear to God
Speaker 1: my child will not turn out like him. What child.
Speaker 1: You got your wish, Benji, we're all on our own.
Speaker 1: You're pregnant, God damn it. Hello, oh hello Mr Morrali,
Speaker 1: you're early. If you're not earlier late, you're the sound
Speaker 1: bath guide. Yes, sir, good, let's get started. Should we
Speaker 1: wait for your family? My family like my eldest son,
Speaker 1: the lying gambler, and my daughter who hit her pregnancy
Speaker 1: from me, or my youngest the freak up family. Children
Speaker 1: especially can be difficult. No, you want to talk about difficulty,
Speaker 1: you should meet. My wife plays my children against each other.
Speaker 1: All I wanted was to reconnect with my family. Instead
Speaker 1: they turned it into a blood bath. Well, these retreats
Speaker 1: are meant to help you release that which doesn't serve you.
Speaker 1: So how do you plan to release this conflict with
Speaker 1: your loved ones? Tell them my decision, which is I
Speaker 1: will not be handing off the company. That's the only solution.
Speaker 1: None of them can be trusted. Well, then you certainly
Speaker 1: need to unwind. Mm hmm, let your breath fall in
Speaker 1: and out. Just mm hmmm. I have to admit it's
Speaker 1: hard to relax given everything I just told you. But
Speaker 1: that's what these singing bowls are for. Mr Morelli the
Speaker 1: sound vibrations will help your body enter a state of
Speaker 1: deep relaxation. So breathing in and breathing out good. Just
Speaker 1: follow where the sounds take you. Hm hmm, I seem
Speaker 1: to have left my shrewty box next door. Continue that
Speaker 1: deep breathing and I'll be right back. M So what
Speaker 1: does a shrewdy box anyway? M hm. Really, what everyone
Speaker 1: try is ridiculous. It's going to be all right. Can
Speaker 1: you do it for your father to gree Oh my god, look,
Speaker 1: heads on the ground. Oh my god. People, you've reached
Speaker 1: the end of the investigation. It's time to decide who
Speaker 1: you think James's killer is. Here are your suspects. James's
Speaker 1: gambling son Benji. Piper thought she was Dad's favorite, but
Speaker 1: everyone knews me and that drove her crazy. James's workaholic daughter, Piper,
Speaker 1: I deserve the company. I mean, I'm working my ass
Speaker 1: off while being pregnant. James is eager to please second
Speaker 1: wife Meredith saw him in the stupid little hut next door,
Speaker 1: trying to focus on my breath while meditating. But all
Speaker 1: I can think about is Benji weaseling his way in
Speaker 1: with James like that. James's oddball son from his second marriage, Dorian.
Speaker 1: It is over and they even sucked it all up.
Speaker 1: That's never gonna trust me now or the long time
Speaker 1: butler Roehellio, So you could say it. Without me, there
Speaker 1: would be no Morelli Enterprises today, and that's why Mr
Speaker 1: Morelli put me in his will. We'll be back with
Speaker 1: the answer after a word from our sponsor. Now it's
Speaker 1: time to learn who killed James. James's killer was his
Speaker 1: wife Meredith. She had a habit of eavesdropping on her
Speaker 1: family's conversations, and I heard the whole thing while meditating
Speaker 1: next door. The walls are made a stray. No considered
Speaker 1: spying when the walls are made of grass deer. And
Speaker 1: when she overheard James telling the sound Bath Guide that
Speaker 1: her precious boy Dorian wouldn't be getting the company, she
Speaker 1: was furious. Or my youngest the freakly, I will not
Speaker 1: be handing off the company. That's the only solution, after all.
Speaker 1: She only married James so that her future child would
Speaker 1: inherit the family business. She married my dad for his money.
Speaker 1: After Benjie Piper's mom Day, she worked hard to keep
Speaker 1: up appearances, but what gave her away were her high heels,
Speaker 1: something she wore everywhere she went. Can I get two
Speaker 1: seconds to myself? Mom? And why are you wearing high
Speaker 1: heels in the desert? You look stupid relaxing stuff, Dorian, honey,
Speaker 1: you enjoying your massage. And if you listen closely, you
Speaker 1: could hear the heels in the sound bathroom when James
Speaker 1: was murdered. So what does that shrewdy box? Anyway? This
Speaker 1: episode was inspired by a true crime from two thousand twelve,
Speaker 1: when the mysterious death of a man made headlines when
Speaker 1: it was revealed that he and his wife had been
Speaker 1: expelled from a desert meditation retreat, a retreat which turned
Speaker 1: out to be a deadly cult. James Morrelli was played
