<v Speaker 1>given everything I just told you, But that's what these

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>singing bowls are for. Mr Morelli. The sound vibrations will

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:34.120

<v Speaker 1>breathing in and breathing out good. Just follow where the

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds take you. Hm hmm. I seem to have left

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>my shooting box next door. Continue that deep breathing and

0:00:54.560 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll be right back. Mm hmmm. So what does a

<v Speaker 1>be all and make sure no one comes onto the

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>veranda while we're out here. Of course, you think I

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>killed my dad, that's why you're walking to me first. Well,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>write this down. I wanted in black and white. I

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>did not, could not, would not hurt my own father. Look,

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I'm not a hysterical mess. So I

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>look suspicious. But everyone grieves differently, and my father taught

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>me to never show weakness. So here we are. This

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>whole god forsaken spa trip was my father's idea. Oh Dad, huh. Ever,

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the master manipulator. He wanted to keep all of us

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>on this compound in the middle of the freaking desert

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and have us duke it out old school show of

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>love and work ethic. Well he got what he wished for.

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Holy fuck, it's hot his balls. What's your mouth, Benji,

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the phone, always on the phone. Face so sorry,

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Piper, It's called work. Try it sometimes, trust me.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. I like it out here. Oh look, Satan

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>spawn likes the heat. You. Dorian is so glad to

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>see you made it. Don't be a dick me, how

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Mr child Woo, that's stop number? You know? Mind being

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>called satan spawn do you Dorean? Well, if anything is

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>an insult to your mom, not you boy about mom. God,

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like I always say, Meredith, children can't live with him,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>which is why I'm never having him. Oh, Benjamin, I

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't know someone was waiting to bear your child. That

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>great call in the desert getaway sarcasm is an appalling habit. Sorry, sir,

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>good to see you all finally decided to show up.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Meredith and I have been here for an hour. Where

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>are Piper and Dorian? We're supposed to be connecting as

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a family. Excuse me, I have to take this since

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>when does Mr laid Back jump for a ringing phone?

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Piper thought she was Dad's favorite, but everyone knew it

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>was me and that drove her crazy. Worked yourself like

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>a dog, and it was never good enough for dad.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>But Dad had a soft spot for me. It's firstborn.

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>So you forgot your credit card in the room? Oh shit,

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>this is the one link to my dad's account, right,

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>that's right, sir, cool, I'm good. Thanks for helly y'all.

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you this though, my dad purposely brought us

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to the middle of the desert to mine funck us.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>He was playing chicken with our heads and one of

0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>us cracked. You know who really couldn't hand of the pressure, Dorian?

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>That kid is weird man. Meredith doesn't like anyone to know,

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>but we all can see what a freak he is.

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Lizard lizard lizard, you lizard lizard. Yeah, missed so fast, couch, Dorian.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>You're not going rocks it lizards again? Are you? And

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I get two seconds to myself? Mom? And why are

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>you wearing high heels in the desert? You look stupid.

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 1>I've been looking everywhere for you. The whole family is

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>moving into the cabin, so what are you doing all

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the way out here? Earlier? Can unpack my bags, come

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>inside and join the group. Your father expects you to

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>be already think I'm a psycho. Mom, I don't know.

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I start almost feel bad for mom. She's

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>not very smart. She married my dad for his money

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>after Benji and Piper's mom died. Total code digger. I

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't mean that. Why did I say that? Did I

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>see that? Such an idiot? God? Um, look, I don't

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who killed my dad. I swear, but

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't me. I would never hurt anything. Oh, lizard here, lizard, lizard, lizard, lizard. Heybody,

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>slow down, slow, oh, Dorian. Dorian is well. James and

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars when he was

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a child to try and figure out what was what

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>was wrong with him, But no one could give me

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>anything definitive, so we just learned to live with his peculiarities.

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I just I just say that he's my special boy.

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I know if he only spent more time learning the

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>family business than he did kicking rocks and animals, he

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>could be so successful. But I really thought james Is

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>announcement would get Dorrian to change what you stopped everyone

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>set out. First of all, thanks for coming all this way.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was important for us to connect now

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that I'm almost dead. Fiber, I came to this country

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>when I was fifteen years old with just twenty dollars

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in my pocket, and I built a distribution company that

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I can be proud of billion dollars as of this morning.

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Roughly as I was saying, I'm old that I'm not

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>a fool, I know which way the wind is blowing,

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>meaning what that I'm passing off the company. Honey, I

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>will make my final decision on Friday, So try and

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the week and don't suck up to me too much.

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's say damn it, Dad, I just want

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to say. I think it's brave of you to admit

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that you're ready to pass the torch to us, the

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>younger generation. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision. Now

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you just have to let us show you how smart

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 1>we are. I have to use the restaurant. Excuse me,

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>pardon me, sir, but I couldn't help. But notice you

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>left abruptly. Is everything all right? Am I making a

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>mistake here? In thirty five years, I've yet to see

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you make one mistake. Oh blow smoke up my ass.

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>You don't make mistakes. You test options. You know what

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I see, sir. I see a man who has the

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>life experience to know what's right. M m hm hm.

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't deserve you, Roelio, Thank you, sir. I was

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>proud to serve Mr Morelli. I've been in his side

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.079
<v Speaker 1>for the best and worst of times. When his first

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>wife passed, the man was so distraught the business seemed

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>like it would fail in his absence. I don't think

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you'd mind me saying it was I who stepped in

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and covered for him. He just needed some time. So

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you could say that without me, there would be no

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Morelli enterprises today, and that's why Mr Morelli put me

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>in his will. Still, his family treated me like a

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>common servant. Would you like some wine, Miss Piper? No

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>none for me, Ralio, but fetch me some sparkling water.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Everything okay, dear find Meredith. Ah, you look radiant tonight,

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>by the way, absolutely glowing. Thank you. If I didn't

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>know any better, I think you are pregnant. But it's

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>bad luck to deny a pregnancy. Motherhood was the best

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>thing that ever happened to me. I haven't told anyone.

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>It's still really early. Please don't tell my dad. Your

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>secret is safe with me. Excuse me? Where was I? Oh? Good, James,

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You're back comes it comes it. We're all still reeling

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>from your exciting announcement. But I'd like to give a toast.

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>This will prove to be a truly special week to

0:11:51.520 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>family to fall for laxy stuff. Dorian, Honey, you enjoying

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>your massage? Yeah, you know you have come so far.

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>When you were a boy, you would scream bloody murder

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 1>if anyone touched you now, could you What do you

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>think about your father's announcement? Oh? Could you get my

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>upper arms and shoulders they're sore from yesterday's workout. Ah,

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go. I am so proud of your father

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>for taking time for himself in the later years of

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>his life. All of my men coming into their own. Okay,

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a big opportunity. Dorian. Why are you just saying, Okay,

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>don't you care about your future because he isn't going

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to give me the company? Why would you say that?

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Because it's true. You just have to make him see

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 1>how brilliant you are, sweetie, and you are. You are brilliant.

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.800

<v Speaker 1>totally normal guy, fucking it. He has a conneption if

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you hug him. But he's cool with a massage, and

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that's is so just he's not trustworthy. I mean, for real,

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>though he's always given me the heady jeemies creepy creepy dude,

0:13:54.640 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and after that weird running, I definitely needed a massage,

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>but of course I was rudely interrupted. Ah, I like

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pressure, dude. Yeah, that's good. There you

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>are Jesus Christ, Piper. What the hell are you kidding

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>me with the massage right now? What did you sleep

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>through Dad's big announcement last night or what? We're not

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>here from massages. We're here to win a company, so

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm on it. Bullshit, But I have a plan you

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>don't even want to hear mine. Does yours involve getting

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a rub and tug? Because no, we've got to get

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>ahead of this. I say we tag team Dad, turn

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>him against Dorian. Wait, do you think that's really going

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to consider Satan's spawn? Dorian is the only option besides us,

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know that Meredith is in Dad's ears constantly

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>buzzing about her weird golden boy. But if we're a

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>team and we show him how insane that kid is,

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>then Dad can't not choose us. So what will you go? Fift? Well,

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>since it's my idea and I already worked within the company. Well,

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I worked there too. Sometimes the balls on this chick,

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't need you. In fact, teaming up with you

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>as a risk I can't take. I lose my stock

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>options and fucked. I guess what. Dad can't stand you,

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>he told me himself, probably because you're adopted. I'm not five.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>That adoption line doesn't work on me anymore. And if

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Dad can't stand anyone, it's you. Whatever you have to

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>tell yourself. So that's it. We're going it alone. That's it. Shit. Uh,

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I gotta take this. What the hell? I shouldn't have

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>been surprised that Benji would throw his only sister under

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the bus, but it hurts. He was so cut throat,

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, he killed just to keep his goddamn stock options.

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Benshi was acting odd from the start, in my opinion.

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Whenever you'd catch him unawares, he'd be wild eyed and sweaty,

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>but in the next breath he'd flip the switch and

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>be back to wise cracking. Oh. On Wednesday morning, I

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>found him kissing up to James. Yeah. I heard the

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing while meditating next door. The walls are made

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of straw, you know. I was skeptical at first, Dad,

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think this place is really something special good.

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>It's given any time to think, you know, to brainstorm

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>about ideas for the company. How so well, it seems

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to me that if we want to capture larger slice

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of the marketplace, we should, you know, stay ahead of

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the curve. I mean, have you thought about drone power

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>delivery services? Interesting? I've got a ton of ideas like that.

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>They just come to me all day long. You're not

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 1>gambling anymore than I haven't been to a casino going

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 1>on six years. You know that. Uh well, it's not

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>that yours is a stupid idea, son, it's just common.

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>But then you'd have to be in on internal company

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>discussions to know that we do, in fact have a

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 1>drone fleet, but it's focused on delivering secure packages within

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>the military. Oh it was Piper's idea. Actually, I see,

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>so the military delivering weapons or ramo or whatever. In

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>today's call out culture, I don't know, imagine the Twitter

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.919
<v Speaker 1>takedown and social justice warriors got a whiff of that.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Now we have to think of our brand. It's not

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a bad point, I know, it's not. Piper is stuck.

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>You can't lead a company with a play by the

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:57.439
<v Speaker 1>rules mindset. You do. If you keep this up, I

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>can see a place for you at the table. So

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the stupid little hut next door, trying to

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>focus on my breath while meditating. But all I can

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 1>think about is Benji weaseling his way in with James

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>like that. Disgraceful. Of course I said something to James

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the minute he returned to our room. How is your

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 1>son and my love? I'm thirsty? I bet hey, let

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:47.719
<v Speaker 1>me rub your feet. It feels great. Thank you. Of

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>course you know I couldn't help. But overhear your conversation

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>with Benji during my meditation session. Oh is it considered

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>spying when the walls are made of grass? Deer? Well,

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 1>what do you think? The boy is clearly trying to

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 1>reform his ways, But do you believe him? He's been

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>acting oddly? M I agree. I'm sorry to say I

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he can be trusted, not right now.

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>You never stop worrying about your children. You never stop

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>being a parent until, of course, you become a grandparent grandparent.

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't supposed to say anything. Did bench you get

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 1>some girls pregnant? Not that I know of Piper. Is

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>she pregnant? You didn't hear it from me? Well, why

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 1>would she keep that from me? Motherhood is a big calling.

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe she fears it would negatively affect her work. This

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 1>changes everything. I don't say anything, my love. She's not

0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>telling people yet. Of course, not come here line with

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>me yet. Well, Meredith was right about one thing. The

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 1>walls are thin. Yeah, I heard her. Whatever, I'm used

0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to it. So my family doesn't support me. Whatever. I

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.879
<v Speaker 1>just keep doing my thing. Dad saw how hard I worked.

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I deserve the company. I mean, I'm working my ass

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>off while being pregnant. Do you know how tired you

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>are in the first trimester? Honestly, Meredith can go fuck.

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. She is so manipulative. She drives me crazy.

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Another delicious meal, Dad, I didn't cook it, Piper, but

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you organized it. Thank you. You got some brown stuff

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 1>on your nose. Pie. You went to talk, Benji. We

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>all see you sneaking around, sucking up to Dad. This

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>father and son bonding. You're the worst one. You can

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>do it. Okay? Oh shit, look, James, my love Dorian

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.199
<v Speaker 1>has something he wants to share. Hey, Dad, Um, so

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking spick up son, I cat her. Oh

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 1>well I was. I was thinking about some ideas for

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, the company that I thought you might like,

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>sort of you know, well, it's well, it's kind of

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>like like this. Um oh, social media. We're being pushed

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>out by satan spawn? You're right? Are you really that stupid?

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't tie myself to you if you were the

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>only block of wood floating by in this empty ocean

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of a family reunion? You're done? What are you talking

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>about that's going to choose me? What did you do?

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I just reminded that of your nature, you know how

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you're afraid of breaking the rules. God, I could killed you.

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Piper is everything? Okay? Stay out of this, Meredith. We

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 1>all know how good you are with secrets. Oh dear,

0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to,

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>but don't be so angry. You can't let those hormones

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 1>get the best of you. What's going on here? Just

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Piper being Piper? Dad, go check on her, please. Absolutely,

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Piper locked herself in her room. The ice Princess didn't

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>want anyone to see her cry. Everything with the morales

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 1>is big, dramatic. You know, I'm up two hours before

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and two hours after all of them. I never take

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a vacation, but you don't see me crying in my room.

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I have to make sure their lives are in other

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 1>especially Mr Morale. If it won't for me, Meredith would

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 1>run right over him. Come here, honey, Yeah, James sweeny. Um,

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just not in the mood. I'm sorry.

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 1>What's I'm just I'm I'm worried about Dorian. Now. He

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.120
<v Speaker 1>told me he's been wanting to spend more time with you,

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's been so hard with you working so much.

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>The boy needs his father. See, I just worried that

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 1>he barely knows you. With Benji and Piper, you were

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:27.440
<v Speaker 1>just starting out. Then you had more time for them,

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>but by the time Dorian came along, you were already.

0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 1>James MORRELLI I'm sorry. I'm not blaming you. You do

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>so much for your family. I'm sorry. It's just don't cry.

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Shook her face. Dorian has very good idea. Yeah, I

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 1>think good enough to consider passing off the company. Maybe

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>him maybe. Oh. I love you, I really do. Oh.

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't take this chop at the Lizard. It's just

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:43.159
<v Speaker 1>no way. Hey, Dorian, hyper leave me. Alone. You know

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that people who torture animals end up being serial killers. Right,

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think Dad's gonna give his company to a

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 1>serial killer? I didn't I didn't do anything, Paul. Dorian

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>is everything. Okay, Why are you wearing just a sheet? Hyper?

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Leave Dorian alone? Are protecting him, Meredith? In fact, Dad

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>should know how he spends his time. Dad, what is

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>going on out here? Piper stuff? You're just emotional because

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you go to hell, Meredith, Dad, look what Dorian does

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:17.439
<v Speaker 1>for fun? Did you kill that lizard? Dorian? Don't answer that,

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Dorian and know he was He was supposed to run

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>away before I could kill I didn't mean to your

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>family awaking the coyotes. Last is always Benjie Piper gotten

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>into you. I'm not your mindless worker, be Dad. I

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 1>deserved the company. Whoa whoa. If anyone deserves it, it's

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>your firstborn. I think I deserve it because I have

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the best ideas. And Dad even Dorian. His phone rang

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 1>and he turned into a ten year old boy. Ben.

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 1>She just never grew up. He has a problem. I guess. Yeah,

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it's really sad. But in the moment we all went

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 1>for blood, and maybe we made him snap. Who's always

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>calling you? Benji? Yeah? Benji? What's going on? No near business?

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Let me see your phone? Son, Give it to me. Dad, No, Benjamin? Hello,

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:22.720

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:29.360
<v Speaker 1>calling my son? I see I can explain how much

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>you're gambling again, only with friends. It's under control, Dad,

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I swear Jesus Christ, what's wrong with you? Answer your father? Benjamin?

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>How much? Seven? What kind of friends? Stay out of this? Hello? Yes,

0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>call the most recent number on Benji's phone. Get the

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 1>people's information. I gotta wire them seven d dollars to

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>save my delinquent subs. Right away, your phone, Benjamin, that

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't need you to there you go, Hell you,

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to see and if your faces until tomorrow,

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 1>we're doing a sound bath in the morning. Until then,

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I need a break from all of you, from you

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to Meredith. I'll sleep in a different room tonight. James,

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>this is all your fault. Jesus can't You're gonna hurt yourself. Dorian, child,

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>it is over. And if they've fucked it all up,

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that's never gonna trust me. Now. I swear to God

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 1>my child will not turn out like him. What child.

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 1>You got your wish, Benji, we're all on our own.

0:27:51.240 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 1>You're pregnant, God damn it. Hello, oh hello Mr Morrali,

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you're early. If you're not earlier late, you're the sound

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 1>bath guide. Yes, sir, good, let's get started. Should we

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>wait for your family? My family like my eldest son,

0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the lying gambler, and my daughter who hit her pregnancy

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 1>from me, or my youngest the freak up family. Children

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>especially can be difficult. No, you want to talk about difficulty,

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 1>you should meet. My wife plays my children against each other.

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 1>All I wanted was to reconnect with my family. Instead

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>they turned it into a blood bath. Well, these retreats

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 1>are meant to help you release that which doesn't serve you.

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So how do you plan to release this conflict with

0:28:55.640 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>your loved ones? Tell them my decision, which is I

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>will not be handing off the company. That's the only solution.

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>None of them can be trusted. Well, then you certainly

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>need to unwind. Mm hmm, let your breath fall in

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and out. Just mm hmmm. I have to admit it's

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>hard to relax given everything I just told you. But

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what these singing bowls are for. Mr Morelli the

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 1>sound vibrations will help your body enter a state of

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 1>deep relaxation. So breathing in and breathing out good. Just

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>follow where the sounds take you. Hm hmm, I seem

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to have left my shrewty box next door. Continue that

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>deep breathing and I'll be right back. M So what

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 1>does a shrewdy box anyway? M hm. Really, what everyone

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>try is ridiculous. It's going to be all right. Can

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you do it for your father to gree Oh my god, look,

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:28.120
<v Speaker 1>heads on the ground. Oh my god. People, you've reached

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of the investigation. It's time to decide who

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you think James's killer is. Here are your suspects. James's

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>gambling son Benji. Piper thought she was Dad's favorite, but

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>everyone knews me and that drove her crazy. James's workaholic daughter, Piper,

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I deserve the company. I mean, I'm working my ass

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>off while being pregnant. James is eager to please second

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>wife Meredith saw him in the stupid little hut next door,

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to focus on my breath while meditating. But all

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I can think about is Benji weaseling his way in

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:12.720
<v Speaker 1>with James like that. James's oddball son from his second marriage, Dorian.

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 1>It is over and they even sucked it all up.

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's never gonna trust me now or the long time

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:26.280
<v Speaker 1>butler Roehellio, So you could say it. Without me, there

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:30.480
<v Speaker 1>would be no Morelli Enterprises today, and that's why Mr

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Morelli put me in his will. We'll be back with

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the answer after a word from our sponsor. Now it's

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 1>time to learn who killed James. James's killer was his

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 1>wife Meredith. She had a habit of eavesdropping on her

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>family's conversations, and I heard the whole thing while meditating

0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:02.320
<v Speaker 1>next door. The walls are made a stray. No considered

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 1>spying when the walls are made of grass deer. And

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>when she overheard James telling the sound Bath Guide that

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 1>her precious boy Dorian wouldn't be getting the company, she

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 1>was furious. Or my youngest the freakly, I will not

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 1>be handing off the company. That's the only solution, after all.

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>She only married James so that her future child would

0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 1>inherit the family business. She married my dad for his money.

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>After Benjie Piper's mom Day, she worked hard to keep

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 1>up appearances, but what gave her away were her high heels,

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>something she wore everywhere she went. Can I get two

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>seconds to myself? Mom? And why are you wearing high

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>heels in the desert? You look stupid relaxing stuff, Dorian, honey,

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you enjoying your massage. And if you listen closely, you

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>could hear the heels in the sound bathroom when James

0:33:55.960 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>was murdered. So what does that shrewdy box? Anyway? This

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 1>episode was inspired by a true crime from two thousand twelve,

0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 1>when the mysterious death of a man made headlines when

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>it was revealed that he and his wife had been

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>expelled from a desert meditation retreat, a retreat which turned

0:34:30.480 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>out to be a deadly cult. James Morrelli was played
