WEBVTT - Chapter 7: To The Tune of Murder

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Lethal Listeners, take Torres here. Stay tuned for the

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>next episode of Lethal Lit. But first, here's a quick

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>word from our sponsor. Hey, Lethal Listeners, take here. Last

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>season on Lethal Lit, you might remember, I came to

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Hollow Falls on a mission. The mission of this podcast

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>is simple, to uncover the truth, to clear my aunt's name,

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>to put the real killer behind bars, or die trying.

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>But I hadn't counted on a rash of new murders

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>tearing apart the town. It's wondering if the town killer.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>My mission put myself and my friends in danger, though

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't all bad. I'm going to be real with you, Tig.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I like you. We uncovered the true identity of the

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>lip killer, our advisor from the school paper, Harry Levinson.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I took out each and every one of those super rats,

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>one by one, and we brought him to justice, ending

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>his ten year reign of terror. Beware, for I am

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>fearless and therefore powerful. How's that for a literary reference,

0:01:39.880 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Harry The only loose end. It's not overstoric, Yeah, Allie Price,

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the lit Killers protege, He's still out there somewhere. Harry Levinson, however,

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>was tried and convicted to multiple life sentences. I accomplished

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>what I set out to do, clearing my aunt Beth's

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>name and making sure justice was finally served. Well, I'm

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.679
<v Speaker 1>finding out that in this town, the dead don't keep

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>their secrets for long, and the bodies keep piling up.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to season two. I'm tig Torres and this is

0:02:52.600 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Lethal Lit. It's been a while since season one of

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Lethal Lit. Whenever someone asked me about doing more, I

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>told them that bringing back my murder investigation podcast would

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>mean that something had gone very, very wrong. Yet here

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>we are. Let me catch you up. Hollow Falls has

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>changed a lot. The town has turned into a kind

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of theme park for murder enthusiasts, and Lethal Lit isn't

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the only podcast in town anymore. You're listening to murder Boy.

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>This it's true crime fanatic. Welcome to Hallowed Fall. Podcasts

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>aren't the only things that have sprung up. Mediums, psychics,

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>and spiritual advisors moved into the vacant storefronts on Main Street.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's trying to make a buck off the murders, and

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't even walk down the street without someone trying

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to rope me into whatever they're doing. Hello, it's your

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>lucky day, folks. How your left is tig Torres, our

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>girl who went the lick killer behind bars? Hey, how

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>about it work for your fans? Take hold that I'm

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 1>not your girl, and what's where you're going? Get your pictures? Folks.

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Bonus if you're already rolling video, because that is authentic.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Tick Torres sas right from the source. Hey, dig someday

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 1>you and I we can own this town if we

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>work together. Just think about it. Right, Officially branded Lethal

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>lit Doers, we can charge whatever we want. Take a

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>high Harris. Now, that was Harris Scruggs, one of our

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>newest neighbors and owner of lit Killer Tours. In my opinion,

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the worst profiting off the lit murders.

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But not everyone here is trying to exploit our tragedies.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Some people are actually trying to get on with life

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in this place. Hello, Ellen ators, coming to you from

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the Star Diner. The newly renovated Montague Hotel is finally opening.

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Bring your sunglasses because tonight it's gonna shine in all

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>its former glory. That's Ella, host of the YouTube channel

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Team Foundation, a mashup of makeup tips and self empowerment memes.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Season one listeners will remember that she was drugged and

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>kidnapped by Levinson. We found her just in time. All right,

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 1>here's your cut of cheese and fries, topped with Culgate

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the teen Floridation special. Phil, you're in my shot. That's

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>when she's my bouncer, backup bestie. I don't know what

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd do without her. Well, aren't we lucky? Here comes

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the Montague Hotel's own front desk clerk, Hum concierge. Fancy Max.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>You're right in the center of it all. How does

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>it feel? It's no party, Walter. My boss is satan.

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>He's running me ragged, and this walkie talkie is the

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>bane of my existence. It's range is insane. Where are

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you before? Roger just left? Fowler's heading back now. I

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>had to pick up some supplies for a little rodent issue.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Seems there was a colony under the old chapel that

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>relocated to our basement. Max also had to run in

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>with the lip killer, but his scars are visible. Levinson

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 1>slashed him across the face and body. We got used

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to looking past Max's scars, but he hasn't His brush

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>with death gave him drive ambition. We all want to

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>get out of Hollow Falls, but Max is determined to

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>do something about it. I am a natural hospitality professional.

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>The minute I get my diploma, I am off to

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the nearest Marriott. I hope it's somewhere warm where I

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>can visit. All right, let's get started. We said we'd

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>come to this meeting with story ideas. Who's got one?

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>So the opening of the Montague is like this huge

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:02.679
<v Speaker 1>rebrand moment for Hollow Falls. Right. Rumor is Bruce Campbell

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>is making a cameo appearance. Have to assume as ash,

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>but I'm pulling for Bubba Hotel. I propose a red

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>carpet recap. Who was there? Who were they wearing? What

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>their hopes for the town's future are? Anyone have anything?

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>A little meteor If it's supposed to be such a

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>big moment, we can do a little better than the

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>TMZ treatment. Can't we any story ideas from you two?

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 1>You're awfully quiet? Oh men? And I decided talking? Do

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to? I'm sorry you go, Max. We want

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to write a piece about Ali. Hum? What about Ali?

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>When and I were thinking we could do an expose

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>with a personal slant. You know what what it was

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like to be his friend, how it felt to find

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>out he was Levinson's evil apprentice. It was an intense betrayal.

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean everything he told us was a lie. So

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>let's find out the truth. We're pitching a who is

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Ali Price piece? What do you think, Tig? I mean?

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Or you could all take turns shoving thumb tacks under

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>my fingernails just as painful and it'll save us a

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of time. I dive into early past, look into

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Anna Killdean, the victim in the Fahrenheit for one case.

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Remember how strong his reaction was when you said her name, Tig.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I also want to know where he slept. M hmm.

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to believe he was one of my best

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:51.239
<v Speaker 1>friends and I barely knew anything about him. Yeah, it's

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>really wild. How you think you know a person about

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>as well as all of Dr Jekyl's friends knew him.

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:07.079
<v Speaker 1>So oh personally, I hate it like a lot, But

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>who am I kidding? It's got legs. Let's do it? Cool? Awesome?

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Does that mean I can do my red carpet piece?

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Now coming the worst? See you tonight. You are all

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>coming right? Free food tig Yes, what else is there

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to do? I love it that. Oh Willa, have you

0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>seen my coat high heat? That you look so pretty? Mm?

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But you could have worn address. It's not too late.

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>You can still come with me. I think I have

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>spent in all time in that place for the rest

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 1>of my life. This all reopening will do nothing but

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>bring back all goals that were better left undisturbed, or

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>bring new life in the town. Let Hollow Falls start

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>to write a new chapter for itself, the ideed after

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>everything's still hopeful. You're Auntie, your tea, I was exactly

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the same way. You know, you could practically betweens. I

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>be bad. I'm sorry, It's okay, Will She's still with us.

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Hello ellenators. We're here at the opening of the Montague

<v Speaker 1>to celebrate in forever. Last year they canceled the prom.

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, wouldn't you if your history teacher murdered your principal.

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.560

<v Speaker 1>I need to rehearse. All right, I'm ready. The Roaring

0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>twenties cool. It was in the White House, the Charleston

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>was on the dance floor. Here in Hollow Falls. The

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Montague Hotel was the height of glamour. It's guests, some local,

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>some international, were well healed industrialists of the day. Take

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a look over the balcony at the top of the

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>grand staircase and imagine the crowd below, Ladies and flapper dresses,

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>men in Derby's and boaters. The Monty was the place

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to be, but not for long. October nine, Black Tuesday,

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the stock market crash left James S. Montague, owner of

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the Monty, pennyless. Two nights later, on Halloween Eve, Montague

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>walked through the basement passageways, past the staff and out

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the rear entrance. Do you know what's coming? Did he

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>get a bucket of chicken and binge? Watch drag Race

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>All Stars? He stepped out over the falls. Oh M

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>G Jr. Rama. James Montacue's body was never found, but

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a drop from that height rarely leaves anything in one piece.

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I suspect a lot of turtles downstream cultivated a new

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>appetite for human flesh. We're supposed to make it creepy.

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a thing, very good, very very good. But you

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>got one detail wrong. He actually snuck out through a

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>secret passage built for bootleggers back in the prohibition days.

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I touch on the turtles, though very theatrical. Oh, the

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>tourists will love a secret passage. The better the thrills,

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the better the tips, well said, And I made sure

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the contractors didn't plaster it over in the renovations. I'll

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>show you after my speech when I'm sick of schmoozing

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>with the yokels. What's your name, son, Max Max WindMan?

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh like the name has an old school ring to it.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>The Max Wineman Jazz Trio. And these are your ladies,

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>they're my friends, my test audience. I wanted to practice

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 1>my tour. Oh smart, smart, Hi sweethearts. Now, if you

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 1>would excuse me, I have a little speech of my

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>own to give. Watch how it's done. Kid, Rock's got

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 1>too hotels in so Cow. Can you imagine if he

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>brought me out there? Hella, baby, now we're talking. I'm

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>totally there. I can live stream on the beach. Oh yikes,

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the time Walter's gonna kill me. Oh, I'll be right

0:17:50.359 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 1>back to how the opening good Memory Poppy. I didn't

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>mention my dad much last season when I was working

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the lit killer case. I let all his calls go

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.439
<v Speaker 1>to voicemail. I kind of felt like he dumped me

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 1>here to fend for myself. There was a ton of

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>scary stuff that happened back then, and my mindset was

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>if anything happened to me, it would be his fault.

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 1>When reminded me that my dad didn't exactly ghost me.

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>He had to take a job on an oil tanker

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and couldn't leave me in New York by myself, which

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.919
<v Speaker 1>is why I'm living here with Aila. But I know

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>he's doing his best to support us both, and I'm

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 1>learning to be more mature about the whole thing. So

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I answer his calls now and we're working on our relationship.

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could find another job easy though. I

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.719
<v Speaker 1>whisk you away and take you back to the city.

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, puppy. It actually feels really nice tonight, like

0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>there's life here. Everyone's dressed up and happy for now.

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Stop you're worse than me. I love you. Oh yea,

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 1>how a good time with the party of being. I'll

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>call against tig it's about to start. Max and Ella

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>safe seats for us in the front. This way there's

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:37.359
<v Speaker 1>a shortcut through the lounge. Oh oh what, you're not

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna like this podcasters lounge? Really we can go around. No, no,

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 1>screw it, let's just power through. You're listening to the

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Hollow Falls podcast and we're coming to live from the

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Montacues brand opening. I have to say, the whole town

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>is simply kind of cups, reversed, shadow dreams, broken family,

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:10.440
<v Speaker 1>This town and the Montaguar name of the dark history

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:15.360
<v Speaker 1>coming through. Excuse us. This is murder Boy reporting from

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>the swankiest stop and any murder fans vacation plans and wait,

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:25.199
<v Speaker 1>tick tick touris. Do you have a few words for

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the Murder Boy audience? Do you think we've really seen

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the last of Levinson? What geez pal, get out of

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 1>here with that crap. This is a bad idea. Back here,

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>take ah there's that clown Montague and Ella's dad. What

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 1>are they up to. I'm happy to introduce you. People

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>know me. Say what you need to about the hotel

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.199
<v Speaker 1>and I'll take it from there. We still need to

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about the plans for the extension the SPA. You

0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>need to clear those permits for me. Yes, it's a

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>bit of a rural block, but nothing I can finesse.

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.439
<v Speaker 1>The state environmental regulators having a fit because of the

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 1>main explosion over where the old chapel used to be.

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 1>But I've got an old college buddy in the agency

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>who says you'll have it cleared in no time. Just

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:19.720
<v Speaker 1>let me know what wheels I have degrees. Oh excuse me, gentlemen.

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought I told you know something I can help with. Evening,

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Mr Mayor Harris Scruggs. Harris wants to sell me what

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>was it, exclusive ownership of the official Lick Killer Tour.

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>The Mayor will tell you it is a very successful

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 1>business up two in eight months. You could do tour

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.080
<v Speaker 1>packages for your guests and have the shuttle leave from

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot with me saying on as a GM

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:53.639
<v Speaker 1>and tour guide and minority partner. Of course, I can't lose,

0:21:54.320 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I said no. Still, no, you're you're making him a stag.

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.959
<v Speaker 1>It's it's definitely a no brainer. You know. Let's give

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Brox some space. You ready to go? I'm in five please?

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I was born Ready see you after high Smith. We

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 1>have a lot to celebrate, that we do, Brock. Oh,

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>this town a bunch of backwoods buffoons. What do I

0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 1>have to do to get a drink around here? When

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>tag seats saved? Thanks, there's my daddy. Doesn't he look great?

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I dressed him? What do you think, tig? Ah, he

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>looks nice. Maybe someday you'll let me dress you. Seriously,

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.680
<v Speaker 1>tig you shine with a little bit of Mscara an eyeliner.

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 1>You think Tors will let you touch her? Don't hold

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 1>your breath just because she won't let you touch her.

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Who oh, relax. Not being able to take a joke

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:03.680
<v Speaker 1>is a terrible quality. Speaking of terrible qualities, this guy

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:08.119
<v Speaker 1>is everywhere. If it isn't Velna in the Scooby Gang,

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh Chinkies, if it isn't the suspicious and overly ambitious

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>tour bus driver with the pungent breath. You all right there, buddy,

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>don't hate I come varying gifts. What is this liquor?

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>One for you? And you? And here you go, Tig,

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>come on joining on the fun. This fanfare isn't because

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.199
<v Speaker 1>of Brock, because of the hotel. They're here because of

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a story that captured the imagination of the nation, the

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>story told by you, Tig. First of all, no thanks,

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, m M. I'll keep asking. Second of all,

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>we're under eight, hey, I'll take that. Then. Can't serve

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 1>minors on opening night? Now, can we? Mr Montacue? I

0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>am so sorry. I would never relax, kid, unless we

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>get fined. Who cares? I will give you one more

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>tip your tour though. When it comes to public speaking,

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a little lubrication never hurts ah. Now, if you'll excuse me,

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a speech to give. What a pompous Why

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>do I feel like I need to pour hand sanitizer

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>down my ear canal every time that guy talks. Daddy

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 1>has been complaining about him and NonStop. I gotta run.

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Think about it, Tig and Max. Side of your press list,

0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the whole town is here. You really packed them in? Sure? Sure? Yes, yes,

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I will see you after the Riven cutting. Bye? Whoa? Max?

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Put your tongue back in your mouth. How about we

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>all worry about our own tongues. Okay, And aside from

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>being easy on the eyes, I have to work all

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>angles if I want to break out of this town.

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>There aren't a lot of mentors to be had in

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 1>hollow falls, back backs over. Where the hell are you?

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I need you at your post? Now there you are?

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>What the hell have you been doing? Just keeping Mr

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Montague happy? Sir? That talking hairpiece is going to be

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>on the first flight out of here tomorrow. Worry about

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 1>keeping me happy, Claire, Yes, sir, coming sir. Yikes, Double yikes,

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>triple gikes. This parade of the men in Max's life

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>ain't exactly giving me the warm and fuzzies. Quiet down,

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Daddy's going on. First, ladies and gentlemen, friends of all ages,

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>The day is finally here. Less than ten months ago,

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>we broke ground in the Montague Hotel to resurrect a

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>vision of the past. When it first opened in d ten,

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this hotel was the ground duel of the land, the

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:11.360
<v Speaker 1>gold standard of accommodations. This incarnation will be no different.

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Leave it to developer owner Brack Montague, grandson of the

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:22.160
<v Speaker 1>original owner James to put a Hollow Falls twist on it. Now,

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>each room welcomes you into a different literary nightmare. Care

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to check into the Edgar Allan Poe Room. The heart

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>beating below the floorboards might keep you awake, then less

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of course you turn it off. Switches in the closet,

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and we have seven rooms that were designed after Hollow

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Falls own litt killer murders. Go to sleep. If you dare,

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 1>there are light killer murder rooms. Now, without further ado,

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>please help me in giving a warm welcome to Hollow

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Fall's favorite son made it good in Hollywood and is

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 1>now bringing a little of that glitter back to his hometown,

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Bruck Montague. Thank you, thank you. It's so good to

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>be back in my hometown. So good. I was just

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>saying to my wife, I just got married a few

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago. Oh, thank you, thank you. We're very happy.

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, it's only been a few weeks.

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh Ginger, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Now. When I was

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.440
<v Speaker 1>growing up here in Hollow Falls, you had to watch

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>your back. But now it's a charming little tourist town

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that's known for murder, Home of the lit Killer and

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>starting tonight, when people come to trace his bloody footsteps.

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:50.119
<v Speaker 1>They'll have somewhere nice to stay, because after months of

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>hard work, the doors of the Montagu Hotel are finally open.

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I wish my grandfather was here to see it. Oh

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that reminds me. Where did I put that thing? Oh?

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Here it is? Yeah, m that's the Montague theme song

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that James Montague commissioned in nineteen ten. Someone left this

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 1>old music box for me at the front desk. I

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know who, I don't remember the lyrics. Thoughtful gift. Regardless,

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring that feeling back to Hollow Falls,

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a place for for good times and new film. Excuse

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:49.600

<v Speaker 1>And just like that, Brock Montague was dead. The coroner's

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>report said it was a stroke, but I knew in

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 1>my heart it was foul play. And what if I

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 1>was the actual target? He could have been poisoned by

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the drink he snatched out of my hand. And if

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm being paranoid and murder crazy, well, when

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I got home that night, there was a package at

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:52.160
