1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: So it's just about midnight, but thanks to jet lag,

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: I am wide awake, as is apparently everyone else staying

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: at this hotel. Sorry, excuse me, Yes, it's true what

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: they say about it being the city that never sleeps?

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Or wait, was that Vegas? Either way, I'll tell you

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Hollywood is for hustlers. Not to mention what the zero

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: percent humidity is doing for my hair. Just look at

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: the people. These suits are named after the Maryland and

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Rose Sweet. She was an orphan before she became an

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: international sex symbol. Audrey Hepburn survived World War Two and

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: worked as a chorus girl before she was cast as Gigi.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: And of course the King himself. Did you know that

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: when he was a kid, Elvis was teased and called hillbilly. See,

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: all of these people have one thing in common. They

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: came from nothing and overcame everything. Maybe that's why I

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: like so much about this place. It's proof that there's hope.

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: What do you guys think, does l A suit me

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: better than New York knows? Maybe it's time to start

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a new chapter. Maybe that's the reason for all of this. Okay,

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: we're soon. Sorry, I was just stop. Welcome to solve

21

26
00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Old Hollywood Hotel. I'm here at the Old Hall Would Hotel,

27
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: where twenty three year old influencer Elouise Fam was found

28
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: dead in the swimming pool this morning. According to social media,

29
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: the New York resident was visiting California with her boyfriend.

30
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: They were supposed to fly home this afternoon. Eloise had

31
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: recently hit one million followers on Instagram and had promised

32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: her fans it was just the beginning. Excuse me, can

33
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: you tell me your name and why you're here today?

34
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm Helie. I just can't believe she's calling. You know,

35
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: she's She's had so many people. Eloise is the whole

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: reason that I'm here today. God, she did not deserve this.

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Well you heard it. Eloise FAM's fans are here watching

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: her videos, honoring her brand and vowing to make sure

39
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: her legacy lives on. This is insane. All these questions,

40
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: how was your relationship with Eloise? Like if it were

41
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: somehow a little rocky would mean that I killed her.

42
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: We had our issues, sure, but at the end of

43
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: the day, we really did love her. What come on, baby,

44
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: you can't possibly still be mad at me and here

45
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: I am doing the impossible. Well, then, I guess you

46
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: don't want to hear the good news. What the news, Coop?

47
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: What good news? I talked to my boss and I

48
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: got the time off for California. All right, so you

49
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: can go ahead and book the flights, hotels, whatever you want,

50
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: whatever I want. I know how important to all this

51
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: to you. I'm sorry if it didn't sound like that

52
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: last night. I really am proud of you. I'll be

53
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: right there. I'll text you later out. I can't wait

54
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: to see what you look like on a California beach. Hi, everyone,

55
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: it's me Eloise. I'm on my way home from the

56
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: grocery store. But I just couldn't wait to tell you

57
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,680

Speaker 1: get you're one of those so called influencers expecting a Phoebe.

70
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, of course not. I mean I am an influencer,

71
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: I guess, but I'm not expecting anything free. Yes, well,

72
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: miss influencer, do you have a special suite in mind?

73
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: As special? Sweet, I'm surprised your followers didn't tell you.

74
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Here at the Old Hollywood Hotel, each room is named

75
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,719

Speaker 1: the Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland. I'll

78
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,039

84
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I do anything for Eloise, and frankly I did. I

85
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: paid for everything. Eloise wouldn't have had anything to Instagram

86
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: if it weren't for the clothes, dinners, vacations that I

87
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: bought her. I blew up my own parents so I

88
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: could take her to California. And sure they might think

89
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: it's all a bit sort of vain and soulless, And look,

90
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: the point is Eloise loved being an influencer, and I

91
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: loved her, so I supported whatever she wanted to do,

92
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: whether it was the videos or the yoga or whatever.

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: That's what you do when you love someone, Isn't it.

94
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is I want this vacation to be

95
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: about us, you and me, not you, me and your fans. Again,

96
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: It's all about what you want, Coope. No consideration of

97
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: me or or my career, your career. Hello, you're gonna

Speaker 1: be contributing. Wow. Hey, hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay,

Speaker 1: the best fans in the world. I don't think you

112
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: understood what Eloise meant to me. It wasn't just that

113
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: she was someone whose videos I watched. Elouise helped me

114
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: through the lowest point of my life. I wouldn't have

115
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: done anything to hurt her. Mom. Mom, are you here? Sorry, Hayley,

116
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm in here, there you are. How is your first day?

117
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: It was fine? Good? Good? Do you have homework? Not much.

118
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go watch some videos in my room. That's okay,

119
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: of course, I love you. Dad would be so proud

120
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: of you. The hi Elois here. I just wanted to

121
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: give you all a quick chore of our new apartment.

122
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: That's right, Coop and I are officially cohabitating, isn't it wild?

123
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: I also wanted to say thank you. I've been kind

124
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: of a basket case about it all, and the only

125
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: thing that hit me going was having your guide to support.

126
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: I feel so much less alone because I have you all,

127
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: and I hope you feel less alone because you have me.

128
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: And I'm so excited to tell you all that we're

129
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: going to be staying at the Old Hollywood Hotel for

130
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: our last night in l A. I'm so excited that

131
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: we have to find a way to go. Just give

132
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: you my chance to meet her, to talk to her,

133
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: maybe even become friends with her. I can finally tell

134
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: her how much she's inspired me, changed my life. I mean,

135
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I'd probably still be obsessed with boy bands if it

136
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: wasn't for Luise. Don't remind me. I just can't believe it.

137
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: Not only is she coming to l A, but she's

138
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: staying in a hotel twenty minutes away. It's like it's

139
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: like like it's a sign exactly, it's destiny, Haley. I

140
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: just have a feeling this trip to l A. It's

141
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna be big for Luise. It's gonna change things for her. Alright, soccer,

142
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: what the plant? So just in case you guys might

143
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: think I live a glamorous life, this is my reality

144
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: right now. No makeup, hair in a top, not hiding

145
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: out in the airplane bathroom. Four hours into a cross

146
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: country flight, and of course Coope is sound asleep in

147
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: his seat. Is there some secret to sleeping on planes

148
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: that I haven't figured out yet? Message me if you

149
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: have tips for the flight back police. As we have

150
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: noticed that the captin and turned on the deep belt sign,

151
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160

Speaker 1: I handled the front desk at the hotel reservations phone

154
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: calls idiots off the street trying to use our lobby bathrooms.

155
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I checked the girl in. And look, I'll

156
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: be the first one to tell you I'm not exactly

157
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: a fan of this whole influencer thing. I mean, I

158
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: got a fourteen year old kid at home. So I

159
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: see what social media is doing to these kids, and worse,

160
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I see the kind of people that social media is

161
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: making a famous I can't believe we're find me here.

162
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: I guess it's not so bad. That's so bad. It's beautiful.

163
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Where's the pool? I'll be right back. Are you Daphney

164
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: depends he's asking. I know you probably can't tell me,

165
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: but as all these fam checked in yet, she's my

166
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: favorite influencer, and I'm hoping you maybe get a selfie

167
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: or an autograph or something an influencer. Seriously, I just

168
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: can't everything all right over here? Yes, I was just

169
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: pointing this nice young lady towards the pool. Oh okay,

170
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: thank you, And if you happen to see helly, let's

171
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: go rich have I thank you lately for deciding to

172
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: let anyone use the pool on weekends, because really one

173
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: of your best ideas, Stephane, You're welcome. It's good for business.

174
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Now remind me how having a bunch of celebrity chasing

175
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: teeny boppers running around is good for business. Any publicity

176
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: is good publicity. Speaking of which, who was she talking about? Right?

177
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Ten years I've owned this place. Nothing like this has

178
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: ever happened. I mean, worst we had as an overdose

179
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: working girls in the first few years, but we earned

180
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: ourselves reputation as a stand up business, you know, I mean,

181
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: no other way to run things if you ask me. Anyway,

182
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I only met her once in passing. Daphanie told me

183
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: she was like, it's a social media star or something.

205
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Really it's perfect. Well, welcome to the Old Hollywood Hotel.

206
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm the owner, rich Are you checking in? Oh my god,

207
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: the owner? Did you know we were coming? Mm hmm.

208
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: It worries me. Look at the old Hollywood suits, Marilyn Monroe,

209
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, old blue Eyes.

210
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: I loved him. At least they had talent. At least

211
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: they did something more than carry around a camera and

212
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: film themselves being up touse. I mean, you ever follow

213
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: these so called influencers or whatever you say, because let

214
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: me tell you I have, and there's not an ounce

215
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: of talent in any one of them. Oh. I don't

216
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: mean to sound insensitive. I'm sure this Eloise was a

217
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: perfectly nice girl and she certainly didn't deserve what she got,

218
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you I wouldn't be surprised if that's

219
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: what this was all about, if that is what ended

220
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: up getting her in trouble. Come on, how can you

221
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: influence anyone if you're not posting anything? Oh my god,

222
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Hello, come to the lobby right now.

223
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,640

00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: That's great. Hey, um, but I think I'm good though.

242
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: you have to be like that. Someone has to set

243
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: some boundaries. You know, I wouldn't have anything if it

244
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: wasn't for my fans. No, you wouldn't have anything if

245

Speaker 1: it wasn't for me. Hey, babe, we're leaving in ten minutes. Hi, guys,

Speaker 1: one of you guys in the lobby. I can't tell

251
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: you how much it means to me when fans come

00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: up to say hi. I may not quite be at

253
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,520

254
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: gotta go. We're going to this place that's like right

255
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: by Hollywood in Highland coops and no phones, but I'll

256
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: try to sneak a pick for you. Guys. Okay, bye,

257
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: what were you talking to? Nobody? Baby, nobody at all. Honestly, though,

258
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't around the hotel long, at least during the day.

259
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I tend to handle the business side of things and

260
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: let Daphne run the floor. I got tied up with

261
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: some meetings and just ended up crashing at the hotel.

262
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: But I'll say, hey, man, I was beat. I had

263
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: a long day and I really just wanted to get

264
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: back to my room and get some rest. Mm hmmm

265
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: another one, please make it too, Thanks Jesus been you're

266
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: tracking my iPhone or something. I hate to tell you this, Rich,

267
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: but there's only one place to find you, usually the

268
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Barton sixth. Yeah, they changed their hours. You aren't going

269
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: to be able to run from this, you know. Mean

270
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: you can try, but this isn't the kind of thing

271
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: that goes away. The board is talking about bankruptcy. Rich,

272
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: They think you're gonna have to close the property board.

273
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: This the board that the board as your livelihood in

274
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: its hands, I mean, not just yours, that everyone who

275
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: works at that hotel. What are you going to tell them? Oh? Thanks,

276
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: all right, So what would you do? I mean, you're

277
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: the advisor, right, advise me. Honestly, the best thing you

278
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: can do at this point is cut your losses. Deficit

279
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: is so deep. The only way you'd be able to

280
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: make up these kind of numbers that you do something drastic,

281
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: do a reno, get some sort of major celebrity endorsement.

282
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: How long ago I have the board is making the

283
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: decision on Friday? Okay, I'll take care of it. Trust me,

284
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: Trust me, Daphne Rich, where the hell are you? I

285
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: had a thing, a meeting, okay, but where Hollywood Boulevard? Why?

286
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Trust me? I know I'm on my way back to

287
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: the hotel. How is it over there? Oh twice? The

288
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: amount of people here for the show is there? Are

289
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: paying customers? So the usual We're not a capacity to right,

290
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: are we? No? Rich, We're not a capacity. Can you

291
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: think of the last time we were at capacity? Because

292
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: I can't, so I assume my suite is open. You

00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,080

Speaker 1: soon day I'll be here. Guys usually who we're slow down?

296
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: Why are you doing like this? I'm not asking for much, okay?

297
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: All I asked for was one night to ourselves. It

298
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: has been to ourselves. We wanted to take one picture

299
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: and video and live stream and story, and me wanted

300
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: to share this experience with my fans. Should affect the

301
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: time we're spending together. It does when all I wanted

302
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: was for you, for once to want to share the

303
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: experience with me. Oh boy, what do you think you're

304
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: looking at? Me? Two gifts who should probably take what

305
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: it seems to be a private conversation to their private suite.

306
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: We're paying gas. You can't talk to us like that, Cooper,

307
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: and let's just go out. I'd watch it. If I

308
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: were you, I could probably get you fired with my

309
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: thought worms. I'd like to see you try, Cooper, let's go.

310
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean the girl's own boyfriend couldn't stand it. Caused

311
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: a whole scene in the lobby. They left a few

312
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: minutes after they went back to the sweet I didn't

313
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: see him again the rest of the night. And again, Oh,

314
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: I don't mean to sound insensitive, but can you really

315
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: blame him? I'm sorry to say, but I can't excuse me.

316
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: I didn't need to say that. So it's just about midnight,

317
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: but thanks to jet lag, I am wide awake as

318
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: is apparently everyone else staying at this hotel. Sorry, excuse me, Yes,

319
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: it's true what they say about it being the city

320
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: that never sleeps? Or wait, was that Vegas? Either way,

321
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you Hollywood is for hustlers. Not to mention

322
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: what the zero percent humidity is doing for my hair.

323
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: Just look at the people. These suits are named after

324
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: the Marylyn and Rose Sweet. She was an orphan before

325
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: she became an international sex symbol. Audrey Hepburn survived World

326
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: War Two and worked as a chorus girl before she

327
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: was cast as Gigi. And of course the King himself.

328
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: Did you know that when he was a kid, Elvis

329
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: was teased and called hillbilly. See, all of these people

330
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: have one thing in common. They came from nothing and

331
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: overcame everything. Maybe that's why I like so much about

332
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: this place. It's proof that there's hope. What do you

333
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: guys think does l a suit me better than New

334
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: York knows? Maybe it's time to start a new chapter.

335
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the reason for all of this. Okay, we're soon. Sorry,

336
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: I was just stop. What are you doing this? You've

337
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: reached the end of the investigation. It's time to decide

338
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: who you think killed Eloise. Here are your suspects. Eloise's boyfriend, Cooper.

339
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for me. Eloise

340
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: is super fan Haley. I just can't believe she's called

341
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: Eloise is the whole reason that I'm here today. The

342
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: manager at the Old Hollywood Hotel, Daphne, I'm not exactly

343
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: a fan of this whole influencer thing. I see the

344
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: kind of people that social media is making a famous

345
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: or the owner Rich. The only way you'd be able

346
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: to make up these kind of numbers if you do

347
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: something drastic, I'll take care of it. Trust me. We'll

348
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: be back with the answer after a word from our sponsor.

349
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: Now it's time to find out who killed Eloise. Eloise

350
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: was killed by Rich, the owner of the Old Hollywood Hotel,

351
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: as a pr stunt to bring attention and business to

352
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: the struggling property. The board is talking about bankruptcy rings.

353
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: They think you're gonna have to close the hotel. But

354
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: it was a feature of the hotel that gave Rich

355
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: away as the killer. The night of the murder, Rich

356
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: was staying in his favorite room. The Elvis site is open.

357
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: You know I never book out the Elvis Sweet when

358
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: are you going to admit you live there? Which was

359
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: where we last heard from Eloise, and of course the

360
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: King himself. Did you know that when he was a kid,

361
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: Elvis was teasing called the hill billy. Sorry, I was

362
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: just stop. This episode was inspired by the mysterious death

363
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,080

364

Speaker 1: atop a hotel in downtown Los Angeles after a month

365
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: long search, during which your footage of the victim behaving

366
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,600
