Speaker 1: Hey, listeners, it's James Parker. Can you keep a secret?
Speaker 1: The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next,
Speaker 1: But first a quick word from our sponsor, Iron Horn's
Speaker 1: Epic Productions. And I heard Radio present Daughters of d C.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I know, I said, getting into trouble is
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, but this is a little
Speaker 1: too much trouble. Natalie and Celia are getting expelled from
Speaker 1: Dupomp Prep even as we speak, all because I couldn't
Speaker 1: keep my dumb mouth shut. I told Onyx all about
Speaker 1: our break and at the school, God, I told him
Speaker 1: all about Lock Smith. I told him everything. Brilliant James,
Speaker 1: absolutely genius, and now he knows my real name, and
Speaker 1: I have no idea who he is here. I am
Speaker 1: going around like some kind of hotshot hacker, when in
Speaker 1: fact I've been giving away all of my friend's secrets
Speaker 1: to unknown agents. What was I thinking? How am I
Speaker 1: going to help Peyton? How am I going to help anyone? Oh? No?
Speaker 1: What now? How could things possibly get any worse? It's
Speaker 1: no secret that in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere.
Speaker 1: You could say it's gone viral. That's why my friends
Speaker 1: and I decided to take on the system from the inside.
Speaker 1: I'm James, I'm Peyton, I'm Celia, I'm Natalie, and we're
Speaker 1: the daughters of DC. Natalie, Celia, are you okay? What happened?
Speaker 1: Are you expelled? What's going on? Call at you two?
Speaker 1: We're fine. Our parents took care of it. What how,
Speaker 1: Never underestimate the persuasiveness of a lieu or the persistent
Speaker 1: pain in the aasteness of a Rosenberg. I think the
Speaker 1: headmaster just wanted them out of office as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: I'm so relieved. Oh my god, I'm so so relieved.
Speaker 1: You guys, I'm sorry why. It's not your fault. We
Speaker 1: knew what we were getting into. Yeah. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm relieved because my suspension is over. Tomorrow we can
Speaker 1: all see each other again. You're back, Yeah, my suspension
Speaker 1: is over. Oh wait, my suspension is her. Have a
Speaker 1: good first day back, Jane. Oh and one more thing, yeah, Mom,
Speaker 1: about the botillion this weekend. I know I've been complaining,
Speaker 1: but of course I'll go. I went and miss Cole's
Speaker 1: big day. I know. I had a discussion with Judge
Speaker 1: Reid and you'll be attending with Tanner. Tanner me no, no, never,
Speaker 1: no way. I'm afraid it's not your decision, it's Judge Reads.
Speaker 1: So he gets to invade our gathering with our community.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you hadn't gotten suspended, you'd have a say
Speaker 1: in this. What does that have to do with James
Speaker 1: Renee Parker. I believed you when you said you had
Speaker 1: good reason to hack your own school. Now you're going
Speaker 1: to trust me on this. That's how this works. I
Speaker 1: won't dance with him. Have an uneventful day in school, please,
Speaker 1: So I guess things can get worse. I'm banned from
Speaker 1: going to Cole Parker's botillion. Keep your voice down. The
Speaker 1: whole alumni dining room doesn't need to hear our business.
Speaker 1: This is outrageous. This is the cost of me taking
Speaker 1: care of your expulsion. You're not to associate with those
Speaker 1: girls anymore. We were just trying to get back at Tanner.
Speaker 1: We don't interfere with the Reads. We interfere with whoever
Speaker 1: we want. There's a reason your father and I have
Speaker 1: been so meticulous in guiding your friendships. You and Mackenzie
Speaker 1: will be attending a different event this weekend. There's a
Speaker 1: new gallery opening downtown. Why do you care about Mackenzie.
Speaker 1: We have ties with her family. We have similar ties
Speaker 1: to the Reeds. You are not to act against Tanner again, understood?
Speaker 1: And what if I said no? There are many real
Speaker 1: life Okay, so I'm trying to be good. But it's
Speaker 1: not my fault if they let us use our laptops
Speaker 1: and a p trig. Isn't or that I already did
Speaker 1: this assignment last night. This is just what happens when
Speaker 1: students get bored, they go online and try to find
Speaker 1: out more about their secret hacking mentors. Right ay, Storm,
Speaker 1: there you are. I haven't seen you around in a while.
Speaker 1: Ready to share more secrets? No, not with you on.
Speaker 1: I can't believe what you did. What did I do?
Speaker 1: You betrayed me? What? What are you talking about? We're friends?
Speaker 1: What about the security footage? What security footage? Don't play
Speaker 1: dumb and enough with your secrets. You know who I
Speaker 1: am and you won't tell me who you are? I
Speaker 1: promised I'm going to tell you who I am. Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you. You know. Locksmith was right. I
Speaker 1: can't trust anyone. Oh, I see Locksmith said that. Huh.
Speaker 1: Maybe the better advice is don't trust Locksmith. You try
Speaker 1: to dig up dirt on a guy and he's a
Speaker 1: total fan of And someone stabs you in the back
Speaker 1: and you immediately assume it was me. James Parka, James, James,
Speaker 1: what this Caruth? Ask you what the coast sine of
Speaker 1: bee is? Sorry, since it's the right triangle, the coastine
Speaker 1: a B is equal to sign be. Then the distakes
Speaker 1: between a Cole's friend from Celia's party, right, Adrian, Yeah, yeah, no, sweat,
Speaker 1: I got your back. See you at the bottilio, right, um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: see you there. Heymon, yo, paymon, Wait up, hi, Cole,
Speaker 1: what's all this? Boys? Lacrosse is doing a car wash
Speaker 1: to raise money for a table at my bottillion. That's nice. Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to help me wash some cars? I might
Speaker 1: even show you the secret to my game changing scrubbing technique.
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, it's too handed read coming at you. What's wrong?
Speaker 1: As you can see you're washing? Hey you okay? What? Yeah? Nothing,
Speaker 1: I'm just feeling a little under the weather. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go home now. Can I give you a ride?
Speaker 1: That's all right, you go back to your car wash. Nah,
Speaker 1: Tanner can do some of the work for once, yea,
Speaker 1: all right? Hey, can we give Celia rode to she's
Speaker 1: coming over right now. Sure, Hey, Celia, you want to ride?
Speaker 1: Thanks anyway, but it looks like my driver's here. Are
Speaker 1: you guys? Can we not with a capop today? William? Sorry, miss,
Speaker 1: but music affects mood, and I thought you'd want to
Speaker 1: see more cheerful to show your parents how grateful you
Speaker 1: are to still be in de DuPont. Grateful. They're constricting me.
Speaker 1: I don't need rules. I make my own rules. They
Speaker 1: have your best interests at heart, Miss Luke, not my interests, William,
Speaker 1: the family's interests. Your parents are in a delicate space.
Speaker 1: They move cautiously and deliberately, and I strike to kill,
Speaker 1: not to disagree, Miss lu But that's not always the
Speaker 1: most effective method. You don't know this, but I'm not
Speaker 1: welcome in China anymore. Oh yeah, I'm not. Your parents,
Speaker 1: through their careful influence, ensured my safe passage to the
Speaker 1: United States. I owe them my life. Their actions have
Speaker 1: kept my family safe and allowed me to communicate with
Speaker 1: them discreetly. Hmm. Sorry, it's the price I had to pay.
Speaker 1: M But that's why I trust to your parents. You
Speaker 1: should trust them too, and do what they tell you
Speaker 1: to do. Do you understand? I understand I have to
Speaker 1: call Mackenzie and tell her we have to go to
Speaker 1: some dumb gallery opening instead of the Botilion. Ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: don't want people looking at Artwin. They could be looking
Speaker 1: at me. Hey, d O DC fans, stay tuned more.
Speaker 1: Daughters of d C is up next, but first a
Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor. What's up? Daughters of DC
Speaker 1: fans want to be a real d O DC insider?
Speaker 1: Follow us on Instagram at Daughters of DC Official to
Speaker 1: get exclusive d ODC news updates and content before everybody else.
Speaker 1: Rob Dad, I'm huh so quite How exactly did you
Speaker 1: clear up that security footage stuff so quickly? Let's try
Speaker 1: that again, Natalie. Oh, hello, father, it's nice to see you.
Speaker 1: Thank you for making sure I don't get expelled. You've
Speaker 1: always had such a disdain for education. That's not fair.
Speaker 1: I make effort, I try to try. In what way?
Speaker 1: When would I have seen this supposed effort? Have you
Speaker 1: even started your college essays yet? Why bother? Why bother?
Speaker 1: You can just hire someone to write those essays for me,
Speaker 1: right same way you hired someone to take my SA
Speaker 1: T S. I don't know what you're talking about. You're
Speaker 1: a terrible liar. Okay, let's calm down. Don't tell me
Speaker 1: to calm down. You hire someone to take my test
Speaker 1: for me? Right, say? It's on my face. You're upsetting leon.
Speaker 1: You made me think all that studying actually paid off,
Speaker 1: that I was getting smarter, But I wasn't. Natalie, you
Speaker 1: won't even deny I'm already a congressman's daughter. How many
Speaker 1: more advantages do I get? What about all the disenfranchised
Speaker 1: people out there who legitimately deserve a shot at getting
Speaker 1: into school, you know, like your constituents. For all the
Speaker 1: pressure you've put on me to do great, all the
Speaker 1: shame you've made me feel about not working hard enough,
Speaker 1: and none of it means anything. As a parent, sometimes
Speaker 1: your judgment gets clouded by love for your kids. You
Speaker 1: know you'll do anything to make their lives better. Can
Speaker 1: you understand that all this time we're just more parasitic
Speaker 1: ticks getting fat on our racist, corrupt, unfair, unjust institutional entrenchment.
Speaker 1: You're a hypocrite. What are you going to do? How
Speaker 1: are you going to tell anyone? Wow? That's what you
Speaker 1: really care about, isn't it? You know what keep your election, Congressman.
Speaker 1: H oh boy, I like this song. It's type yep.
Speaker 1: I actually wrote this one because I'm moonlight as a songwriter.
Speaker 1: I've got two Grammys. And you're not listening to a
Speaker 1: word I'm saying, are you? Peyton? I'm sorry? What? Look?
Speaker 1: I hope this isn't crossing a line or anything, but
Speaker 1: it seems like there's something wrong. And if you want
Speaker 1: to talk, I'm a pretty good listener. And if not,
Speaker 1: well then I'm good at not talking too. See. I
Speaker 1: cannot talk all day long. I'm not talking right now.
Speaker 1: You're dumb smiling. I'm not smiling. Oh is that right? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll take what I can get. I don't mind being humored,
Speaker 1: still being quiet. I'm good at it, right, Yeah, you're good.
Speaker 1: Welcome home, help me set the table. Yes, Mama, in
Speaker 1: a better mood today, A little yes? M hmm. What
Speaker 1: is it? Mama? I wish you had told me you
Speaker 1: broke up with Tanner Reid. Instead, I had to hear
Speaker 1: about it at the club today from Mrs Reid. I
Speaker 1: didn't he broke up with me? Vivian Peyton, my two
Speaker 1: favorite gals, Hi Daddy Tanner broke up with Peyton sorry
Speaker 1: to hear that. Now, Now, don't make a fuss, Viv.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Peyton can roll them back in. No, Daddy,
Speaker 1: what do you do? Honey? Bush VIV team squabble and
Speaker 1: then they make up. That's the way of high schools. No,
Speaker 1: I mean it. Don't you raise your voice to your
Speaker 1: father in his house. I'm sorry, daddy, I'm sorry about
Speaker 1: the plate. I'm sorry about Tanner, but I just can't
Speaker 1: date him again. Ever, Please don't ask me why you
Speaker 1: don't think I think I need to have a word
Speaker 1: with Crawford red block Smith blck Smith. I know you're listening.
Speaker 1: I am not at your beck and call baby hacker.
Speaker 1: I need help. What guidance do you seek more on
Speaker 1: breaking into seemingly secure institutions? No? Thanks, already monted your
Speaker 1: security footage code to run all sorts of alarm busting operations.
Speaker 1: Next time I need to break in somewhere, I'm golden.
Speaker 1: Oh what a swift learner. Then to what do I
Speaker 1: owe this interaction? You get? How how fake it all is?
Speaker 1: Any advice about how to deal with that? I r
Speaker 1: l go on. I'm being forced to attend an event
Speaker 1: with my enemies. I'm going to have to be around
Speaker 1: them for hours with a dumb faced smile on my face.
Speaker 1: And I'm so angry. I'm afraid of what I might do,
Speaker 1: baby hacker. Fear and anger are two very different emotions,
Speaker 1: we two very different utilities. What do you mean Fear paralyzes,
Speaker 1: anger motivates a history lesson. At the turn of the
Speaker 1: last century, journalist Ida B. Wells channeled her anger and
Speaker 1: white violence in the South, violence that targeted her friends,
Speaker 1: toward investigating lynchings, revealing the terrible truths when no one
Speaker 1: else would. Anger channel is constructive, It makes change. Let
Speaker 1: your anger drive what you need, what you seek information,
Speaker 1: leverage the truth. Thanks don't tell Mrs Reed, but this
Speaker 1: is where I keep the good stuff. We need to
Speaker 1: talk about your boy. Oh, I hear the kids broke up. Shame.
Speaker 1: I think your son did a lot worse than just
Speaker 1: break up with my patent. She ain't pregnant. As you know,
Speaker 1: Peyton is a good girl. I see. Now, hold on, Buck,
Speaker 1: we will rowdy teen boys once. I bet you got
Speaker 1: into heaps of trouble as a kid, probably ole mob
Speaker 1: of fathers raising pitch folks against you. Never times have changed, Crawford.
Speaker 1: We have to take action. Show Tanner how to behave
Speaker 1: I don't tell you how to raise your kids before
Speaker 1: you say something you might regret. Remember, I am about
Speaker 1: to be a Supreme Court justice. Well, now what does
Speaker 1: that have to do? I am still figuring out what
Speaker 1: kind of justice I want to be. Am I anton
Speaker 1: in Scalia or my Anthony Kennedy. A lot of gray
Speaker 1: area there. You could help me choose. No, you could
Speaker 1: sit on the sidelines your choice. Senator got a second, sweetheart.
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring you this charm Braceley. I was
Speaker 1: gonna save it for your birthday, but you've been through
Speaker 1: a lot, and well here give me a rist Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's got it all across stick and a flower symbol
Speaker 1: of spring. Thank you, Daddy. Look about Tanner. You two
Speaker 1: should stay broken up and don't feel you need I
Speaker 1: know you didn't. Well, look your Mama and I are
Speaker 1: here for you and we love you. Nothing can change that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I spoke with Judge Reed. Oh there's a
Speaker 1: lot at stake here, bigger than you or me. It's
Speaker 1: our responsibility to think of the greater good. Sometimes we
Speaker 1: have to lose the battles to win the war. Princess right,
Speaker 1: Good night, daddy. I think my dad knows about what
Speaker 1: Tanner did. He tried to talk to Judge Read about it,
Speaker 1: but then I think he caved. Whoa, Peyton, Um. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. I knew he and Judge Read were close,
Speaker 1: but I never thought he'd put politics above our family,
Speaker 1: above me. Dad suck. Yeah, that's tragic, Peyton. I guess
Speaker 1: that's what politics does to people, corrupts them. Isn't this
Speaker 1: where you jump in, Natalie tell us about how your
Speaker 1: dad turned down all that pack money? Huh uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Y'all are acting funnier than a mule
Speaker 1: after a cactus attack. Oh my god, Peyton, that is
Speaker 1: the most Texan thing anyone's ever said. It's true. Down
Speaker 1: at my uncle's ranch and Blanco. He's old, the old
Speaker 1: Cheeka got into it real bad with a lady finger cactus.
Speaker 1: She walked funny for weeks. Y'all have to come one summer.
Speaker 1: It'll be blast. I wouldn't miss it. Oh, speaking of,
Speaker 1: we're all going to calls Botillion this weekend ride. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I almost forgot. What does something happen to cole Um?
Speaker 1: What Peyton, are you crushing? She totally is No, No, anyway,
Speaker 1: my mom is making me go to the botilion with
Speaker 1: um who We're dying here, Damner. I know. I'm so sorry, Peyton.
Speaker 1: I tried to get out of it. My mom is
Speaker 1: like a dictator, total stalin. I revised my previous statement.
Speaker 1: Parents suck mm hmm is something Upsilia a mine are inconvenience.
Speaker 1: I'll handle it. You've got a gus on this, Tanner sitch,
Speaker 1: you know what. We don't deserve this. Maybe you can
Speaker 1: ask your mom one more time, James, Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: I can try. Yes, James, what is it? I can't
Speaker 1: go to the battillion with Tanner Reid because because well,
Speaker 1: I can't tell you why. But trust me, he's not
Speaker 1: a good person. I know that, James, but it's non negotiable. No,
Speaker 1: please shut the door behind you. I've got a lot
Speaker 1: of work, so I guess things can always get worse
Speaker 1: now I can't even trust my own mother. Yes, one second, Yes,
Speaker 1: we're ready for this weekend. James will handle herself. I
Speaker 1: promise you don't have to tell me how important this is.
