Speaker 1: The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next,
Speaker 1: but first a quick word from our sponsor, Hey, lethal listeners,

Speaker 1: but I'm back and Fall is going to be positively deadly. First,
Speaker 1: Max Winn and I are teaming up for an all
Speaker 1: new mystery in our first original novel coming to you
Speaker 1: from Scholastic. This time we dig into the murder of
Speaker 1: crows Polo Falls Secretive Armchair Detective Club. Their interest in
Speaker 1: the town's dark past isn't purely academic, and some of
Speaker 1: their members would kill to keep its secrets buried. Keep
Speaker 1: your ears peeled from more Info next year, and mark
Speaker 1: your calendars for the book's release state September one. Then,
Speaker 1: the lit Killer saga continues in season two of the

Speaker 1: the guests are in for a route awakening when the
Speaker 1: bodies begin to drop. Stay tuned, listeners, is going to
Speaker 1: be lethal, Iron Horns, Epic Productions, and I Heart Radio
Speaker 1: present Daughters of d C. So remember how we were
Speaker 1: going to save democracy with a pitch perfect plan we
Speaker 1: came up within a single night. Well that didn't happen
Speaker 1: when the rubber metha road the car went off a
Speaker 1: cliff and exploded. We've got Celia running from Capitol police,
Speaker 1: Natalie and George getting detained by those same police while
Speaker 1: trying to create a diversion for Celia and Cole about
Speaker 1: to start a fist fight with Tanner when he's supposed
Speaker 1: to be setting up the projector. And best of all,
Speaker 1: remember the flash drive with a video of Supreme Court
Speaker 1: nominee Crawford read murdering his predecessor completely smashed. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: not what we had planned. Good thing. Natalie believes improvisation
Speaker 1: is the truest form of theater because that's exactly what
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do. Fingers crossed. It's no secret
Speaker 1: that in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere. You could
Speaker 1: say it's gone viral. That's why my friends and I
Speaker 1: decided to take on the system from the inside. I'm James,
Speaker 1: I'm Peyton, I'm Celia I'm Natalie and we're the Daughters
Speaker 1: of DC. Mom. Are you there? The hearing just started?
Speaker 1: Are we doing this or not? Hold on, there's been
Speaker 1: a minor change of plans. I'm conferencing the rest of
Speaker 1: the team and again, yes, we're doing this. We're gonna
Speaker 1: jam the feeds are okay, give me the signal and
Speaker 1: I'll fire up the projector. I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: everyone's faces when they realize what this monster has done.
Speaker 1: One second, Mom, can you do that? Adrian? Jam the
Speaker 1: feed directly? But you can? I have no idea how
Speaker 1: to do that? What was dorm alloyed? I mean, if
Speaker 1: we can get someone to and then yeah, if Alat
Speaker 1: goes right, then yeah it could work. Well let's do
Speaker 1: it then, Okay, team, listen up. We're doing this old school.
Speaker 1: We're jamming the feeds directly. I have no idea what
Speaker 1: you're saying. But I'm stuck outside the capital and can't
Speaker 1: get in again. That totally works. Stay outside, Celia, we're
Speaker 1: coming to you. Done. There are a bunch of press
Speaker 1: fans parked outside the Capitol and we'll need to get
Speaker 1: you in them. Um, does anyone have any ideas on
Speaker 1: how to create a diversion. I can do that. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: and we still need someone to cut the lights, Natalie,
Speaker 1: where are you? George and I are sucking protester jail? Fine,
Speaker 1: Georgia saying it's not really a jail. It's a room
Speaker 1: off Emancipation Hall where they keep troublemakers. But still, this
Speaker 1: is al awful detention. You've got to get out of there. Trying, Babe,
Speaker 1: I'm on it. Mom. Do you really say I'm the
Speaker 1: speaker of the House for a reason. I can handle this? Yeah, Angela, Okay,
Speaker 1: then where's coal? Yeah? About that? I know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: You want me to throw the first point so it
Speaker 1: makes a big scene and gets my mom in hot water.
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to
Speaker 1: be the bigger man, bigger man, stuck with my sloppy
Speaker 1: seconds you have to do, don't you know? We all
Speaker 1: see what you really are, just a little boy who
Speaker 1: wants his daddy's approval. At least I got it dad.
Speaker 1: What did you say, don't listen to? How did you
Speaker 1: say to me? What you gonna do? Son? What? I
Speaker 1: feel sorry for you? Man? I really do you got
Speaker 1: so much anger in you? Why? What's it for I'm
Speaker 1: not throwing the first punch. I am the bigger man.
Speaker 1: Doesn't waste of time anyway. In an hour, my dad
Speaker 1: will be a justice of the Supreme Court that positions
Speaker 1: for life, son for life. Get out of my weight, losers.
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Come on, We've got work to do.
Speaker 1: You go finished setting up that projector where are you going?
Speaker 1: I've got to go help Celia. Come here first for luck?
Speaker 1: Whoa warn't a guy before you kiss him? Dang, Peyton Blackburn,
Speaker 1: I want to make a public statement. Excellent? Are you
Speaker 1: doing another me to hear outside the Capitol while Judge
Speaker 1: Read testifies. You'll have to point that camera at me
Speaker 1: to find out, Carl, get the camera from the back
Speaker 1: of the van. This is fantastic. That's right, you're already
Speaker 1: on all of you can come out of your vans.
Speaker 1: I have something to say. Okay on me in five
Speaker 1: four three, Miss Blackburn? Why are you here today outside
Speaker 1: Judge Reads hearing? What do you hope to gain from
Speaker 1: such a blatantly political move? Our constitution says the Senate
Speaker 1: must advise and consent on presidential appointments to the Court,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I do not believe they should consent. M. James,
Speaker 1: I'm in the press van. Now Peyton's pulling off the diversion.
Speaker 1: Why do you need me to do? Okay, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of making this up on the fly, but I think
Speaker 1: it will work. Send Adrian the I P numbers for
Speaker 1: each fan's and may computer. He'll get you the password
Speaker 1: and then feed you the code I wrote to jam
Speaker 1: their feed. We'll need to do this on every press band.
Speaker 1: When you're all set up, just say go and i'll launch. Good. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure what you just said. All right,
Speaker 1: let me thing for a second. I'll look you through it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Is there a computer in front of you? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: go to the icon marked operating system the President established
Speaker 1: in the Chinese exclusion. Hell no, we woke up. Hell no,
Speaker 1: we woke up. Now we're locked up. We can't go right.
Speaker 1: Hell no, we must go. Hell no, we must go.
Speaker 1: I am begging you too it to be quiet. Hello, officer,
Speaker 1: I believe there's been a little mix up. Madam speak
Speaker 1: of this young woman here is Congressman Rosenberg's daughter. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm afraid it's no mix up, ma'am. You and a
Speaker 1: friend here were being disruptive during the Senate here. Yes,
Speaker 1: she can be a little rowdy, which is why I'd
Speaker 1: like to escort her back to my chamber the House.
Speaker 1: That way, she won't disturb things any further. Well, I am,
Speaker 1: is there a problem, Officer, No, ma'am, of course not.
Speaker 1: Whatever you say, thank you, I'll be sure to put
Speaker 1: in a good word with your superior, Captain Carver. And
Speaker 1: just between you and me, my good word is the
Speaker 1: reason he's Captain Carver. Yes, ma'am. Come along, kids, Dang Angela,
Speaker 1: did you really get Captain Carver his job? There is
Speaker 1: no Captain Carver, but he doesn't need to know that.
Speaker 1: Chane of command goes pretty high around here. Whoa very
Speaker 1: impressive acting skills, Mrs James, Mom politics is acting? Natalie.
Speaker 1: All right, Team, Adrian and I are in place. Give
Speaker 1: me some good news. You're badass. Mom's heading into the
Speaker 1: hearing now. George and I are back in position it projectors. Ready.
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing this computer thing right. Just give
Speaker 1: me another minute. Yes, Adrian, is there any cool electronic
Speaker 1: music in this old buckets? I think I have exactly
Speaker 1: what you're looking Okay, wow, Once we get to go ahead,
Speaker 1: from Celia. We have the chance to do an actual
Speaker 1: nationwide broadcast signal intrusion from a van outside the Capitol.
Speaker 1: That's wild forming on, it's making it. We've only got
Speaker 1: a few seconds after she says go before someone notices
Speaker 1: we've jammed the feeds and we routed to our pirates station.
Speaker 1: So we have to make this count. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: I did the IP thing you said. Here goes nothing, James,
Speaker 1: we don't have time. What is it? The signal, it's
Speaker 1: already jammed. Someone's beat us to it. I can't get through.
Speaker 1: It's like they're rerouting our rewrote last man, I'm warned
Speaker 1: you I'd be back. Are you kidding? James? Are we ready?
Speaker 1: It's now or never? Hey? D O DC fan stay
Speaker 1: tuned more Daughters of d C is up next, But
Speaker 1: first a quick word from our sponsor. What's up? Daughters
Speaker 1: of DC fans head to Daughters of DC dot com
Speaker 1: to get exclusive do you DC news updates and content
Speaker 1: before everybody else. D Locksmith backhacked us. He's trying to
Speaker 1: divert the signal to his own pirates station. We can't
Speaker 1: let him, James, Are we ready? No? Mom, I need
Speaker 1: one more minute why would he who knows, but we
Speaker 1: can't let him. I'm giving you the courtesy of ten
Speaker 1: seconds to yield and retreat. Maybe, Acker, you have no
Speaker 1: army of associates to beck your play this time. I,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, always come with reinforcements. He's sitting
Speaker 1: so much data at us. It's like trying to fight
Speaker 1: your way to a sunami. That's it, Adriana. He wants
Speaker 1: us to think we need an army. He wants us
Speaker 1: to face off against the tsunami. And what we really
Speaker 1: need to do is ride the way, to say, write
Speaker 1: his data stream all the way to his pirate station,
Speaker 1: because we'll be writing on a trojan that's carrying our video.
Speaker 1: Once it's released, you won't be able to stop playing it.
Speaker 1: He'll be broadcasting with for us. Come on, Mom, Natalie,
Speaker 1: get ready to light it up. Ready, I've been ready,
Speaker 1: Wait for it, Wait for it. I tried to protect you,
Speaker 1: young James Parker, but now you've gotten yourself into deep
Speaker 1: and the consequence. Bro, God, you looked you in the scenery, Mom,
Speaker 1: Natalie pulled from my mark. Now, if I'm a one
Speaker 1: more question, judge read what do you think of the
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two Firm and Vijordia decision, citing the death
Speaker 1: penalty is violating the Eighth Amendments Cruel and Unusual Punishment clause. Well,
Speaker 1: I think there's a reason it was overturned four years later. Now,
Speaker 1: lights out, read we need a strong death penalty as deterrent.
Speaker 1: What's happening? Is what's going on in here? Y'all hazing me? Projector?
Speaker 1: Is it gol? Hello? What is this? It's some kind
Speaker 1: of video that you want to be tall drama intention
Speaker 1: if you right now? This is this is a private
Speaker 1: security breach, breaking news from Capitol Hill. Still, what the
Speaker 1: hell was that? Am I still alive? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Someone's taking over the feet? How was that possible? Still?
Speaker 1: This what's supposed to go? And night? I'm me reel
Speaker 1: if that's all you wanted to say, and going to
Speaker 1: turn into the night, good night profile. What do you? Good? One? Justice?
Speaker 1: Oh now, now, calm down. I didn't that's not me, Crawford,
Speaker 1: you killed him. I don't know what that was. This
Speaker 1: is a fake video. Come on, fuck you believe me. Crawford, sir,
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to come with us, please out now,
Speaker 1: just wait one minute I have a guaranteed majority us. Now, sir,
Speaker 1: I won't be asking you a second time. Get don't
Speaker 1: hands off. This sink is mine. You hear me, I
Speaker 1: earned it. You can't arrest me. I'm un touchable. Come untouchable. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's mad, Natalie, Mom, what's happening? Um? I think we
Speaker 1: just took down Judge Reid James? Did you hear me? James?
Speaker 1: You did it? I did you did it? I did it?
Speaker 1: You did it. Shocking news here at the Capitol where
Speaker 1: Supreme Court nominee Crawford Read caught on tape smothering Justice
Speaker 1: Edward Ramirez with a pillow. And and now word word
Speaker 1: is coming in. The judge is officially under arrest. Gruesome, chilling,
Speaker 1: absolutely bone tingling. This will haunt the halls of the
Speaker 1: Senate for years to come. A stunning revelation of events
Speaker 1: leading up to the arrest of a Supreme Court nominee.
Speaker 1: If you had told me at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: school year that my friends and I would successfully break
Speaker 1: into a Senate hearing and get a judge arrested for murder,
Speaker 1: I'd say, wait, I have friends, but a lot can
Speaker 1: happen in a few months I guess I've learned that
Speaker 1: you can let people so prize you, you can even
Speaker 1: surprise yourself. Hey James, Yo, James, what's up? Of course,
Speaker 1: we all got in trouble with the FCC for hacking
Speaker 1: the broadcast, but it wasn't nearly as much trouble as
Speaker 1: Judge Reid got into for you know, murdering Justice Ramirez
Speaker 1: and attempting to hijack our democracy. That we got off
Speaker 1: pretty easy, all things considered, And now that a few
Speaker 1: months have passed, things are finally starting to settle down
Speaker 1: and return to normal, well a better normal. Hey James,
Speaker 1: I can't talk now. Studying not only surprised us all
Speaker 1: by taking your S A T S again. Choose the
Speaker 1: analogy that best matches the example provided. Maceration is to liquid,
Speaker 1: as a sublimation is to gas. B evaporation is to humidity.
Speaker 1: See trailers to path Why would I choose any of these?
Speaker 1: Mut that she has suddenly developed a burning desire to
Speaker 1: go to college. She just wanted to keep things fair,
Speaker 1: all right. Let's have a look here. M hmm. Not
Speaker 1: a great score, but an honest effort. I'm proud of you, Natalie.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Congressman come on, what do you gotta start
Speaker 1: calling me dad again? Still going to be a while.
Speaker 1: Peyton's kind of gone high profile. She and Valentina are
Speaker 1: spokespeople for an outreach program teaching preteen girls how to
Speaker 1: assert their voices. The whole world will be telling you
Speaker 1: to be nice and avoid making waves. But your voice
Speaker 1: is just as meaningful as anybody else's and just as powerful.
Speaker 1: That's right, And to my eternal disgust, she and Cole
Speaker 1: are still a thing. Gross. They even went to win
Speaker 1: or formal together, which made our families closer. Maybe too close? Alright,
Speaker 1: you too, love birds leaning close now, but but but
Speaker 1: not too close. Let the lord in, Daddy, You got it,
Speaker 1: Mr Blackbird. They make a beautiful couple, don't they? Speaker,
Speaker 1: They really do. And you can call me Angie, you know, Angie.
Speaker 1: After what went down at the read here and Buck's
Speaker 1: got a lot of cloud, we're wearing a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of options for our next move, and I do believe
Speaker 1: you might want to hear them. I'm listening. Well, we've
Speaker 1: been adjusting to this super weird but also kind of
Speaker 1: cool new normal. Celia's had it way harder. Ms Lou,
Speaker 1: I'm afraid this isn't getting through to you. Your parents
Speaker 1: are gone. I get it, fine, whatever they vanished all
Speaker 1: the time. What else is new? No, your mother left
Speaker 1: this note for you. I don't know where they are,
Speaker 1: miss Lu, but I'm under explicit instructions not to leave
Speaker 1: your side until I hear from them again. It's no
Speaker 1: big deal, William. Now, if you'll excuse me, Mackenzie and
Speaker 1: I are busy back here. She's been playing the whole
Speaker 1: thing off like it doesn't bother her the way she
Speaker 1: always does. But I know she's just acting straw. Are
Speaker 1: you sure you're okay, babe? I'm fine, Mac, totally fine.
Speaker 1: You're gonna try to find them? Are you going to
Speaker 1: I'm already on it. Tanner left you put shortly after
Speaker 1: his father was arrested. He shut down his Instagram account
Speaker 1: and disappeared. No one's heard from him since. And you're
Speaker 1: probably wondering about our heroes, Store Malloy and Onyx Rader. Well,
Speaker 1: they tried their romance thing for a while, but it
Speaker 1: didn't really work out. The encryption tables configured it should be.
Speaker 1: I really don't see that as likely, but I guess
Speaker 1: we'll just have to push it to the limit and
Speaker 1: see who's right. Hey, good black here, but I'm not
Speaker 1: to convince you what I'm right. They both agreed that
Speaker 1: a working relationship was more their speed. Put me and
Speaker 1: Adrian on the other hand, Hey, I have lacrosse practice,
Speaker 1: but I'll pick you up after so we can have
Speaker 1: that hang out. We talked about maybe having some day
Speaker 1: because that day is now. It sounds like a plan. Cool. Cool,
Speaker 1: I gotta go, I'll see you later. Very cool. And
Speaker 1: as for the Daughters of d C, well, let's just
Speaker 1: say we've been enshrined forever someplace I really care about,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to tell you where it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just like that, dude, right, stop like that. It
Speaker 1: is an honor and a privilege to welcome the Daughters
Speaker 1: of DC as official members of the votes. May we
Speaker 1: do great things together? Yeah yeah, quite right, quite right?
Speaker 1: And and and a special acknowledgement has to go out
Speaker 1: to storm alloy. Go you want the head of a
Speaker 1: hacker and let me legend start. You're like homecoming queen here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: except this doesn't glorify the monarchy, and it's infinitely less sexist.
Speaker 1: I am super glad we all get to dance together again,
Speaker 1: even if it is a nerveest. You know what? This
Speaker 1: is just like our all night or in eighth grade. Yes,
Speaker 1: when we all snuck out because we heard Janelle Monte
Speaker 1: was holding the pop up concert and Celia wanted to
Speaker 1: audition to being her backup dancer. And it led to
Speaker 1: the killer Wait who said that you? How did you
Speaker 1: get in here? How do you even know about d ODC?
Speaker 1: Who's this random? This is a private combo? Wait? Is
Speaker 1: that flock? Smith? You think you've won daughters, but you've
Speaker 1: only made yourselves, your friends, your families, everyone in your
Speaker 1: lives a target. Wrong, dude, We took Judge read down.
Speaker 1: You madin it in the news. Judge Reid was merely
Speaker 1: the tip of a very big iceberg. Why do you
Speaker 1: think Reid was willing to commit murder? Who guaranteed him
Speaker 1: in the nomination? Who is he too afraid to say
Speaker 1: no to? The stakeholders? Have a lot worse in store?
Speaker 1: Who We're not scared of you anymore, Locksmith, You're powerless.
Speaker 1: Such a fine line between bravery and foolishness. James, just
Speaker 1: like your father, you don't know anything about my father.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I'm the only one who truly knows what happened
Speaker 1: to him. What no, no, I know exactly what happened
Speaker 1: to him. He was killed in an embassy bomby saving
Speaker 1: dozens of lives. He he was a hero. That's the story.
Speaker 1: But the story of justice ramirez Is death was a
Speaker 1: heart attack? How do that? Whilst I don't believe you,
Speaker 1: believe what you want, but I know everything, James Harker,
Speaker 1: and I know that in order to keep your families
Speaker 1: and our country safe, in order to learn the truth
Speaker 1: about your father, you're going to have to work with me.
