1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hey, Lethal Listeners, take Torres here. Stay tuned for the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: next episode of Lethal Lit. But first, here's a quick

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. Hey, Lethal Listeners, take here. Last

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: season on Lethal Lit, you might remember, I came to

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Hollow Falls on a mission. The mission of this podcast

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: is simple, to uncover the truth, to clear my aunt's name,

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: to put the real killer behind bars, or die trying.

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: But I hadn't counted on a rash of new murders

9
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: tearing apart the town. It's wondering if the town killer.

10
00:00:51,360 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: My mission put myself and my friends in danger, though

11
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't all bad. I'm going to be real with you, Tig.

12
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I like you. We uncovered the true identity of the

13
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: lip killer, our advisor from the school paper, Harry Levinson.

14
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: I took out each and every one of those super rats,

15
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: one by one, and we brought him to justice, ending

16
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: his ten year reign of terror. Beware, for I am

17
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: fearless and therefore powerful. How's that for a literary reference,

18
00:01:39,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Harry The only loose end. It's not overstoric, Yeah, Allie Price,

19
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: the lit Killers protege, He's still out there somewhere. Harry Levinson, however,

20
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: was tried and convicted to multiple life sentences. I accomplished

21
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: what I set out to do, clearing my aunt Beth's

22
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: name and making sure justice was finally served. Well, I'm

23
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: finding out that in this town, the dead don't keep

24
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: their secrets for long, and the bodies keep piling up.

25
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to season two. I'm tig Torres and this is

26
00:02:52,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Lethal Lit. It's been a while since season one of

27
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Lethal Lit. Whenever someone asked me about doing more, I

28
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: told them that bringing back my murder investigation podcast would

29
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: mean that something had gone very, very wrong. Yet here

30
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: we are. Let me catch you up. Hollow Falls has

31
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: changed a lot. The town has turned into a kind

32
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: of theme park for murder enthusiasts, and Lethal Lit isn't

33
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the only podcast in town anymore. You're listening to murder Boy.

34
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: This it's true crime fanatic. Welcome to Hallowed Fall. Podcasts

35
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: aren't the only things that have sprung up. Mediums, psychics,

36
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: and spiritual advisors moved into the vacant storefronts on Main Street.

37
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Everyone's trying to make a buck off the murders, and

38
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: I can't even walk down the street without someone trying

39
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: to rope me into whatever they're doing. Hello, it's your

40
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: lucky day, folks. How your left is tig Torres, our

44
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,960

Speaker 1: Tick Torres sas right from the source. Hey, dig someday

46
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: you and I we can own this town if we

47
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: work together. Just think about it. Right, Officially branded Lethal

48
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: lit Doers, we can charge whatever we want. Take a

49
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: high Harris. Now, that was Harris Scruggs, one of our

50
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: newest neighbors and owner of lit Killer Tours. In my opinion,

51
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: he's one of the worst profiting off the lit murders.

52
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: But not everyone here is trying to exploit our tragedies.

53
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Some people are actually trying to get on with life

54
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: in this place. Hello, Ellen ators, coming to you from

55
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: the Star Diner. The newly renovated Montague Hotel is finally opening.

56
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Bring your sunglasses because tonight it's gonna shine in all

57
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: its former glory. That's Ella, host of the YouTube channel

58
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: Team Foundation, a mashup of makeup tips and self empowerment memes.

59
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Season one listeners will remember that she was drugged and

60
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: kidnapped by Levinson. We found her just in time. All right,

61
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: here's your cut of cheese and fries, topped with Culgate

62
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the teen Floridation special. Phil, you're in my shot. That's

63
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: when she's my bouncer, backup bestie. I don't know what

64
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: I'd do without her. Well, aren't we lucky? Here comes

65
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: the Montague Hotel's own front desk clerk, Hum concierge. Fancy Max.

66
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: You're right in the center of it all. How does

67
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: it feel? It's no party, Walter. My boss is satan.

68
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: He's running me ragged, and this walkie talkie is the

69
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: bane of my existence. It's range is insane. Where are

70
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: you before? Roger just left? Fowler's heading back now. I

71
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: had to pick up some supplies for a little rodent issue.

72
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Seems there was a colony under the old chapel that

73
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: relocated to our basement. Max also had to run in

74
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: with the lip killer, but his scars are visible. Levinson

75
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: slashed him across the face and body. We got used

76
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: to looking past Max's scars, but he hasn't His brush

77
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: with death gave him drive ambition. We all want to

78
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: get out of Hollow Falls, but Max is determined to

79
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: do something about it. I am a natural hospitality professional.

80
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: The minute I get my diploma, I am off to

81
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: the nearest Marriott. I hope it's somewhere warm where I

82
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: can visit. All right, let's get started. We said we'd

83
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: come to this meeting with story ideas. Who's got one?

84
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: So the opening of the Montague is like this huge

85
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: rebrand moment for Hollow Falls. Right. Rumor is Bruce Campbell

86
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: is making a cameo appearance. Have to assume as ash,

87
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: but I'm pulling for Bubba Hotel. I propose a red

88
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: carpet recap. Who was there? Who were they wearing? What

89
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: their hopes for the town's future are? Anyone have anything?

90
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: A little meteor If it's supposed to be such a

91
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: big moment, we can do a little better than the

92
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: TMZ treatment. Can't we any story ideas from you two?

93
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: You're awfully quiet? Oh men? And I decided talking? Do

94
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: you want to? I'm sorry you go, Max. We want

95
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: to write a piece about Ali. Hum? What about Ali?

96
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: When and I were thinking we could do an expose

97
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: with a personal slant. You know what what it was

98
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: like to be his friend, how it felt to find

99
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: out he was Levinson's evil apprentice. It was an intense betrayal.

100
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: I mean everything he told us was a lie. So

101
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: let's find out the truth. We're pitching a who is

102
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: Ali Price piece? What do you think, Tig? I mean?

103
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: Or you could all take turns shoving thumb tacks under

104
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: my fingernails just as painful and it'll save us a

105
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of time. I dive into early past, look into

106
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: Anna Killdean, the victim in the Fahrenheit for one case.

107
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Remember how strong his reaction was when you said her name, Tig.

108
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: I also want to know where he slept. M hmm.

109
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe he was one of my best

110
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:51,239
Speaker 1: friends and I barely knew anything about him. Yeah, it's

111
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: really wild. How you think you know a person about

112
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: as well as all of Dr Jekyl's friends knew him.

113
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: So oh personally, I hate it like a lot, But

114
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: who am I kidding? It's got legs. Let's do it? Cool? Awesome?

115
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Does that mean I can do my red carpet piece?

116
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Now coming the worst? See you tonight. You are all

117
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: coming right? Free food tig Yes, what else is there

118
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: to do? I love it that. Oh Willa, have you

119
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: seen my coat high heat? That you look so pretty? Mm?

120
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: But you could have worn address. It's not too late.

121
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: You can still come with me. I think I have

122
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: spent in all time in that place for the rest

123
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: of my life. This all reopening will do nothing but

124
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: bring back all goals that were better left undisturbed, or

125
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: bring new life in the town. Let Hollow Falls start

126
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: to write a new chapter for itself, the ideed after

127
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: everything's still hopeful. You're Auntie, your tea, I was exactly

128
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: the same way. You know, you could practically betweens. I

129
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: be bad. I'm sorry, It's okay, Will She's still with us.

132
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: a big deal in a town that hasn't had anything

133
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: to celebrate in forever. Last year they canceled the prom.

134
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, wouldn't you if your history teacher murdered your principal.

135
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,560

154
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: joining the cast of Succession, just when I was going

155
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: for it's my first suit, the best one in all

156
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: of Goodwill. All right, now follow me. Max asked us

157
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: to meet him up on the mezzanine before things get started.

158
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: Everyone have a seat. God, I am nervous. Ella water

159
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: me Max. We are your friends. You guys, Max is

160
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: going to be doing tours at the hotel. He's giving

161
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: us a sneak peak. You are doing me a favor.

162
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I need to rehearse. All right, I'm ready. The Roaring

163
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: twenties cool. It was in the White House, the Charleston

164
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: was on the dance floor. Here in Hollow Falls. The

165
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: Montague Hotel was the height of glamour. It's guests, some local,

166
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: some international, were well healed industrialists of the day. Take

167
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: a look over the balcony at the top of the

168
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: grand staircase and imagine the crowd below, Ladies and flapper dresses,

169
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: men in Derby's and boaters. The Monty was the place

170
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: to be, but not for long. October nine, Black Tuesday,

171
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: the stock market crash left James S. Montague, owner of

172
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: the Monty, pennyless. Two nights later, on Halloween Eve, Montague

173
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: walked through the basement passageways, past the staff and out

174
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: the rear entrance. Do you know what's coming? Did he

175
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: get a bucket of chicken and binge? Watch drag Race

176
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: All Stars? He stepped out over the falls. Oh M

177
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: G Jr. Rama. James Montacue's body was never found, but

178
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: a drop from that height rarely leaves anything in one piece.

179
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: I suspect a lot of turtles downstream cultivated a new

180
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: appetite for human flesh. We're supposed to make it creepy.

181
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: It's a thing, very good, very very good. But you

182
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: got one detail wrong. He actually snuck out through a

183
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: secret passage built for bootleggers back in the prohibition days.

184
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I touch on the turtles, though very theatrical. Oh, the

185
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: tourists will love a secret passage. The better the thrills,

186
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: the better the tips, well said, And I made sure

187
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: the contractors didn't plaster it over in the renovations. I'll

188
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: show you after my speech when I'm sick of schmoozing

189
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: with the yokels. What's your name, son, Max Max WindMan?

190
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh like the name has an old school ring to it.

191
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: The Max Wineman Jazz Trio. And these are your ladies,

192
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: they're my friends, my test audience. I wanted to practice

193
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: my tour. Oh smart, smart, Hi sweethearts. Now, if you

194
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: would excuse me, I have a little speech of my

195
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: own to give. Watch how it's done. Kid, Rock's got

196
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: too hotels in so Cow. Can you imagine if he

197
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: brought me out there? Hella, baby, now we're talking. I'm

198
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: totally there. I can live stream on the beach. Oh yikes,

199
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: the time Walter's gonna kill me. Oh, I'll be right

200
00:17:50,359 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: back to how the opening good Memory Poppy. I didn't

201
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: mention my dad much last season when I was working

202
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: the lit killer case. I let all his calls go

203
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: to voicemail. I kind of felt like he dumped me

204
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: here to fend for myself. There was a ton of

205
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: scary stuff that happened back then, and my mindset was

206
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: if anything happened to me, it would be his fault.

207
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: When reminded me that my dad didn't exactly ghost me.

208
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: He had to take a job on an oil tanker

209
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: and couldn't leave me in New York by myself, which

210
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: is why I'm living here with Aila. But I know

211
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: he's doing his best to support us both, and I'm

212
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: learning to be more mature about the whole thing. So

213
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: I answer his calls now and we're working on our relationship.

214
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: I wish I could find another job easy though. I

215
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: whisk you away and take you back to the city.

216
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: It's okay, puppy. It actually feels really nice tonight, like

217
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: there's life here. Everyone's dressed up and happy for now.

218
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: Stop you're worse than me. I love you. Oh yea,

219
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: how a good time with the party of being. I'll

220
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: call against tig it's about to start. Max and Ella

221
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: safe seats for us in the front. This way there's

222
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: a shortcut through the lounge. Oh oh what, you're not

223
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna like this podcasters lounge? Really we can go around. No, no,

224
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: screw it, let's just power through. You're listening to the

225
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: Hollow Falls podcast and we're coming to live from the

226
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: Montacues brand opening. I have to say, the whole town

227
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: is simply kind of cups, reversed, shadow dreams, broken family,

228
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: This town and the Montaguar name of the dark history

229
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: coming through. Excuse us. This is murder Boy reporting from

230
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: the swankiest stop and any murder fans vacation plans and wait,

231
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: tick tick touris. Do you have a few words for

232
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: the Murder Boy audience? Do you think we've really seen

233
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: the last of Levinson? What geez pal, get out of

234
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: here with that crap. This is a bad idea. Back here,

235
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: take ah there's that clown Montague and Ella's dad. What

236
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: are they up to. I'm happy to introduce you. People

237
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: know me. Say what you need to about the hotel

238
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: and I'll take it from there. We still need to

239
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: talk about the plans for the extension the SPA. You

240
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: need to clear those permits for me. Yes, it's a

241
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: bit of a rural block, but nothing I can finesse.

242
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: The state environmental regulators having a fit because of the

243
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: main explosion over where the old chapel used to be.

244
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: But I've got an old college buddy in the agency

245
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: who says you'll have it cleared in no time. Just

246
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: let me know what wheels I have degrees. Oh excuse me, gentlemen.

247
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: I thought I told you know something I can help with. Evening,

248
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: Mr Mayor Harris Scruggs. Harris wants to sell me what

249

Speaker 1: was it, exclusive ownership of the official Lick Killer Tour.

250
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: The Mayor will tell you it is a very successful

251
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: business up two in eight months. You could do tour

252
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: packages for your guests and have the shuttle leave from

253
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: the parking lot with me saying on as a GM

254
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: and tour guide and minority partner. Of course, I can't lose,

255
00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: I said no. Still, no, you're you're making him a stag.

256
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely a no brainer. You know. Let's give

Speaker 1: Brox some space. You ready to go? I'm in five please?

Speaker 1: have a lot to celebrate, that we do, Brock. Oh,

260
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: this town a bunch of backwoods buffoons. What do I

261
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: have to do to get a drink around here? When

262
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: tag seats saved? Thanks, there's my daddy. Doesn't he look great?

263
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: I dressed him? What do you think, tig? Ah, he

264
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,280

00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: tig you shine with a little bit of Mscara an eyeliner.

266
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: You think Tors will let you touch her? Don't hold

267
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: your breath just because she won't let you touch her.

268
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: Who oh, relax. Not being able to take a joke

269
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: is a terrible quality. Speaking of terrible qualities, this guy

270
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: is everywhere. If it isn't Velna in the Scooby Gang,

271
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: Oh Chinkies, if it isn't the suspicious and overly ambitious

272

Speaker 1: tour bus driver with the pungent breath. You all right there, buddy,

273
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:22,320

Speaker 1: One for you? And you? And here you go, Tig,

275
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: come on joining on the fun. This fanfare isn't because

276
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: of Brock, because of the hotel. They're here because of

277
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: a story that captured the imagination of the nation, the

278
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: story told by you, Tig. First of all, no thanks,

279
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm good, m M. I'll keep asking. Second of all,

280
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: we're under eight, hey, I'll take that. Then. Can't serve

281
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: minors on opening night? Now, can we? Mr Montacue? I

282
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: am so sorry. I would never relax, kid, unless we

283
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: get fined. Who cares? I will give you one more

284
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: tip your tour though. When it comes to public speaking,

285
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: a little lubrication never hurts ah. Now, if you'll excuse me,

286
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: I have a speech to give. What a pompous Why

287
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: do I feel like I need to pour hand sanitizer

288
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: down my ear canal every time that guy talks. Daddy

289
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: has been complaining about him and NonStop. I gotta run.

290
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Think about it, Tig and Max. Side of your press list,

291
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: the whole town is here. You really packed them in? Sure? Sure? Yes, yes,

292
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: I will see you after the Riven cutting. Bye? Whoa? Max?

293
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Put your tongue back in your mouth. How about we

294
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: all worry about our own tongues. Okay, And aside from

295
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: being easy on the eyes, I have to work all

296
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: angles if I want to break out of this town.

297
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: There aren't a lot of mentors to be had in

298
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: hollow falls, back backs over. Where the hell are you?

299
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: I need you at your post? Now there you are?

300
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: What the hell have you been doing? Just keeping Mr

301
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: Montague happy? Sir? That talking hairpiece is going to be

302
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: on the first flight out of here tomorrow. Worry about

303
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: keeping me happy, Claire, Yes, sir, coming sir. Yikes, Double yikes,

304
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: triple gikes. This parade of the men in Max's life

305
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: ain't exactly giving me the warm and fuzzies. Quiet down,

306
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Daddy's going on. First, ladies and gentlemen, friends of all ages,

307
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: The day is finally here. Less than ten months ago,

308
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: we broke ground in the Montague Hotel to resurrect a

309
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: vision of the past. When it first opened in d ten,

310
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: this hotel was the ground duel of the land, the

311
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: gold standard of accommodations. This incarnation will be no different.

312
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Leave it to developer owner Brack Montague, grandson of the

313
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: original owner James to put a Hollow Falls twist on it. Now,

314
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: each room welcomes you into a different literary nightmare. Care

315
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: to check into the Edgar Allan Poe Room. The heart

316
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: beating below the floorboards might keep you awake, then less

317
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: of course you turn it off. Switches in the closet,

318
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: and we have seven rooms that were designed after Hollow

319
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: Falls own litt killer murders. Go to sleep. If you dare,

320
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: there are light killer murder rooms. Now, without further ado,

321
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: please help me in giving a warm welcome to Hollow

322
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: Fall's favorite son made it good in Hollywood and is

323
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: now bringing a little of that glitter back to his hometown,

324
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: Bruck Montague. Thank you, thank you. It's so good to

325
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: be back in my hometown. So good. I was just

326
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: saying to my wife, I just got married a few

327
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Oh, thank you, thank you. We're very happy.

328
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: But like I said, it's only been a few weeks.

329
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: Oh Ginger, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Now. When I was

330
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: growing up here in Hollow Falls, you had to watch

331
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: your back. But now it's a charming little tourist town

332
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: that's known for murder, Home of the lit Killer and

333
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: starting tonight, when people come to trace his bloody footsteps.

334
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: They'll have somewhere nice to stay, because after months of

335
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: hard work, the doors of the Montagu Hotel are finally open.

336
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: I wish my grandfather was here to see it. Oh

337
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: that reminds me. Where did I put that thing? Oh?

338
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Here it is? Yeah, m that's the Montague theme song

339
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: that James Montague commissioned in nineteen ten. Someone left this

340
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: old music box for me at the front desk. I

341
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: don't know who, I don't remember the lyrics. Thoughtful gift. Regardless,

342
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: I want to bring that feeling back to Hollow Falls,

343
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: a place for for good times and new film. Excuse

344
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: me something in my throat, new friends, we all need

345
00:28:49,720 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: new Excuse me? Water? Please? Can I get alass of water?

346
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: And just like that, Brock Montague was dead. The coroner's

347
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: report said it was a stroke, but I knew in

348
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: my heart it was foul play. And what if I

349
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: was the actual target? He could have been poisoned by

350
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: the drink he snatched out of my hand. And if

351
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: you think I'm being paranoid and murder crazy, well, when

352
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: I got home that night, there was a package at

353
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: my door addressed to me with a handwritten label and

354
00:29:52,280 --> 00:30:03,040
