WEBVTT - Old Hollywood Hotel

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's just about midnight, but thanks to jet lag,

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I am wide awake, as is apparently everyone else staying

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>at this hotel. Sorry, excuse me, Yes, it's true what

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.119
<v Speaker 1>they say about it being the city that never sleeps?

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Or wait, was that Vegas? Either way, I'll tell you

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood is for hustlers. Not to mention what the zero

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>percent humidity is doing for my hair. Just look at

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the people. These suits are named after the Maryland and

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Rose Sweet. She was an orphan before she became an

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>international sex symbol. Audrey Hepburn survived World War Two and

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>worked as a chorus girl before she was cast as Gigi.

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>And of course the King himself. Did you know that

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>when he was a kid, Elvis was teased and called hillbilly. See,

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>all of these people have one thing in common. They

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>came from nothing and overcame everything. Maybe that's why I

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>like so much about this place. It's proof that there's hope.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you guys think, does l A suit me

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>better than New York knows? Maybe it's time to start

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a new chapter. Maybe that's the reason for all of this. Okay,

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>we're soon. Sorry, I was just stop. Welcome to solve

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.960

<v Speaker 1>This is your case. Can you solve it? Solve presents

0:01:52.320 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Old Hollywood Hotel. I'm here at the Old Hall Would Hotel,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>where twenty three year old influencer Elouise Fam was found

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 1>dead in the swimming pool this morning. According to social media,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the New York resident was visiting California with her boyfriend.

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>They were supposed to fly home this afternoon. Eloise had

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>recently hit one million followers on Instagram and had promised

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>her fans it was just the beginning. Excuse me, can

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you tell me your name and why you're here today?

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm Helie. I just can't believe she's calling. You know,

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>she's She's had so many people. Eloise is the whole

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>reason that I'm here today. God, she did not deserve this.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Well you heard it. Eloise FAM's fans are here watching

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>her videos, honoring her brand and vowing to make sure

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>her legacy lives on. This is insane. All these questions,

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>how was your relationship with Eloise? Like if it were

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>somehow a little rocky would mean that I killed her.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>We had our issues, sure, but at the end of

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the day, we really did love her. What come on, baby,

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't possibly still be mad at me and here

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I am doing the impossible. Well, then, I guess you

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear the good news. What the news, Coop?

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>What good news? I talked to my boss and I

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>got the time off for California. All right, so you

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>can go ahead and book the flights, hotels, whatever you want,

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever I want. I know how important to all this

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to you. I'm sorry if it didn't sound like that

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>last night. I really am proud of you. I'll be

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>right there. I'll text you later out. I can't wait

0:03:55.080 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to see what you look like on a California beach. Hi, everyone,

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>it's me Eloise. I'm on my way home from the

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>grocery store. But I just couldn't wait to tell you

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>all that Cooper and I are officially coming to California

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>in July. I'm so excited. So I have some ideas

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.680

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

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, of course not. I mean I am an influencer,

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess, but I'm not expecting anything free. Yes, well,

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>miss influencer, do you have a special suite in mind?

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>As special? Sweet, I'm surprised your followers didn't tell you.

<v Speaker 1>wa art the works for your night. Oh, we have

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland. I'll

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.039

<v Speaker 1>you like to pay m X? Please? Great? What's the

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>name on the card? Cooper Adler CEO. Look, ask anyone

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I do anything for Eloise, and frankly I did. I

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>paid for everything. Eloise wouldn't have had anything to Instagram

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>if it weren't for the clothes, dinners, vacations that I

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>bought her. I blew up my own parents so I

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>could take her to California. And sure they might think

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 1>it's all a bit sort of vain and soulless, And look,

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the point is Eloise loved being an influencer, and I

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>loved her, so I supported whatever she wanted to do,

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>whether it was the videos or the yoga or whatever.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what you do when you love someone, Isn't it.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>All I'm saying is I want this vacation to be

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>about us, you and me, not you, me and your fans. Again,

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>It's all about what you want, Coope. No consideration of

0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>me or or my career, your career. Hello, you're gonna

<v Speaker 1>only for money, like like you. At least then you'd

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:25.239
<v Speaker 1>be contributing. Wow. Hey, hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay,

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>come here. Look, I just I want to use this

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>trip as a chance to get back to us. You

<v Speaker 1>comment down below. I love you all, seriously, I have

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the best fans in the world. I don't think you

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>understood what Eloise meant to me. It wasn't just that

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>she was someone whose videos I watched. Elouise helped me

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>through the lowest point of my life. I wouldn't have

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>done anything to hurt her. Mom. Mom, are you here? Sorry, Hayley,

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm in here, there you are. How is your first day?

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>It was fine? Good? Good? Do you have homework? Not much.

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go watch some videos in my room. That's okay,

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of course, I love you. Dad would be so proud

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of you. The hi Elois here. I just wanted to

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>give you all a quick chore of our new apartment.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>That's right, Coop and I are officially cohabitating, isn't it wild?

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I also wanted to say thank you. I've been kind

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>of a basket case about it all, and the only

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>thing that hit me going was having your guide to support.

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel so much less alone because I have you all,

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and I hope you feel less alone because you have me.

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 1>And I'm so excited to tell you all that we're

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be staying at the Old Hollywood Hotel for

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>our last night in l A. I'm so excited that

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>we have to find a way to go. Just give

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you my chance to meet her, to talk to her,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe even become friends with her. I can finally tell

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>her how much she's inspired me, changed my life. I mean,

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably still be obsessed with boy bands if it

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't for Luise. Don't remind me. I just can't believe it.

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Not only is she coming to l A, but she's

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>staying in a hotel twenty minutes away. It's like it's

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>like like it's a sign exactly, it's destiny, Haley. I

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>just have a feeling this trip to l A. It's

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be big for Luise. It's gonna change things for her. Alright, soccer,

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>what the plant? So just in case you guys might

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>think I live a glamorous life, this is my reality

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>right now. No makeup, hair in a top, not hiding

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>out in the airplane bathroom. Four hours into a cross

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>country flight, and of course Coope is sound asleep in

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>his seat. Is there some secret to sleeping on planes

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that I haven't figured out yet? Message me if you

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>have tips for the flight back police. As we have

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>noticed that the captin and turned on the deep belt sign,

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll be starting our initial defense to Los angel Is short.

0:10:54.480 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Please return to your Did you hear that? Fus l A.

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I handled the front desk at the hotel reservations phone

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>calls idiots off the street trying to use our lobby bathrooms.

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I checked the girl in. And look, I'll

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>be the first one to tell you I'm not exactly

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>a fan of this whole influencer thing. I mean, I

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>got a fourteen year old kid at home. So I

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>see what social media is doing to these kids, and worse,

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I see the kind of people that social media is

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>making a famous I can't believe we're find me here.

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's not so bad. That's so bad. It's beautiful.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Where's the pool? I'll be right back. Are you Daphney

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>depends he's asking. I know you probably can't tell me,

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>but as all these fam checked in yet, she's my

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>favorite influencer, and I'm hoping you maybe get a selfie

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>or an autograph or something an influencer. Seriously, I just

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>can't everything all right over here? Yes, I was just

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:24.559
<v Speaker 1>pointing this nice young lady towards the pool. Oh okay,

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>thank you, And if you happen to see helly, let's

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>go rich have I thank you lately for deciding to

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>let anyone use the pool on weekends, because really one

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 1>of your best ideas, Stephane, You're welcome. It's good for business.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Now remind me how having a bunch of celebrity chasing

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>teeny boppers running around is good for business. Any publicity

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is good publicity. Speaking of which, who was she talking about? Right?

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Ten years I've owned this place. Nothing like this has

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>ever happened. I mean, worst we had as an overdose

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>working girls in the first few years, but we earned

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>ourselves reputation as a stand up business, you know, I mean,

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>no other way to run things if you ask me. Anyway,

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I only met her once in passing. Daphanie told me

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>she was like, it's a social media star or something.

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what do they call him? Influencers? Yeah, influencers. Hey, hello,

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to let you all know that we have

<v Speaker 1>officially landed in l A and we made it to

<v Speaker 1>the Old Hollywood Hotel and oh my god, it's even

0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>more stunning in person. Seriously, this is everything I've been

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>dreaming of. I'll make should have posting pictures once we

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>get up to our room. What you haven't even gotten

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>inside and you've already done the one thing I asked

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you not to do. Coop, just forget it, Okay, I'm

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>sure we'll be having the same fight this whole trip. Hey,

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I won't post it. Okay, really, really, come on,

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>let's go check it. M I just don't understand. We've

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>been here two hours and nothing. They were supposed to

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>land this morning. It's eighty degrees outside and she hasn't

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>posted anything new. What else could they be doing? I

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, probably just enjoying this beautiful day. Maybe you

0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>should try it. I'm gonna go walk around, so you

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>have trow in the lobby or something. Can you just

0:14:51.320 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>hold her spot? Please? Sure? Oh my god, but would

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you look at this place? Thank you for bringing me here?

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Really it's perfect. Well, welcome to the Old Hollywood Hotel.

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm the owner, rich Are you checking in? Oh my god,

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the owner? Did you know we were coming? Mm hmm.

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>It worries me. Look at the old Hollywood suits, Marilyn Monroe,

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, old blue Eyes.

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I loved him. At least they had talent. At least

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>they did something more than carry around a camera and

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>film themselves being up touse. I mean, you ever follow

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>these so called influencers or whatever you say, because let

0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>me tell you I have, and there's not an ounce

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of talent in any one of them. Oh. I don't

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>mean to sound insensitive. I'm sure this Eloise was a

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>perfectly nice girl and she certainly didn't deserve what she got,

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>but I'll tell you I wouldn't be surprised if that's

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>what this was all about, if that is what ended

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>up getting her in trouble. Come on, how can you

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>influence anyone if you're not posting anything? Oh my god,

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Hello, come to the lobby right now.

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>She's here and she looks even more perfect in person.

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>That's great. Hey, um, but I think I'm good though.

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm still at the pool, so I'll just come over

0:16:50.280 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>here whenever you're done. Okay, I'll talk to you later. Hey, Okay, Okay, him,

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to bother you better. I'm a really big fan.

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to tell you how much your videos

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>mean to me. I've I've been watching you said you

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 1>we had a few thousand followers, and I have all

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of your merchant. Yeah, I just I wanted to say

<v Speaker 1>a lot to people like me. Thank you. That's so sweet.

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 1>What's your name? I'm Haley, Haley. Yeah. We did it

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>be possible to get a selfie with you? Of course, Hannah?

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Was it? You seem very sweet and I know Eloise

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>appreciates meeting fans, but we're really trying to enjoy the

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>last day of our vacation. It's been a long week.

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>You can probably understand. Oh maybe come on, it's just

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>one check in the next party. Here. Look that's us.

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Thanks again for coming to say him. Okay, why do

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to be like that. Someone has to set

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 1>some boundaries. You know, I wouldn't have anything if it

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 1>wasn't for my fans. No, you wouldn't have anything if

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't for me. Hey, babe, we're leaving in ten minutes. Hi, guys,

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>coming to live from the Judy Garland Sweet So I

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>can't stay long because I have to get ready for dinner,

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.400
<v Speaker 1>but I just wanted to tell you we are having

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the best time so far. I even got to meet

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 1>one of you guys in the lobby. I can't tell

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 1>you how much it means to me when fans come

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>up to say hi. I may not quite be at

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the level of Judy Garland, but hey, I'm getting there. Okay,

0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 1>gotta go. We're going to this place that's like right

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 1>by Hollywood in Highland coops and no phones, but I'll

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>try to sneak a pick for you. Guys. Okay, bye,

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>what were you talking to? Nobody? Baby, nobody at all. Honestly, though,

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't around the hotel long, at least during the day.

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I tend to handle the business side of things and

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>let Daphne run the floor. I got tied up with

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.120
<v Speaker 1>some meetings and just ended up crashing at the hotel.

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 1>But I'll say, hey, man, I was beat. I had

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a long day and I really just wanted to get

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:37.440
<v Speaker 1>back to my room and get some rest. Mm hmmm

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>another one, please make it too, Thanks Jesus been you're

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>tracking my iPhone or something. I hate to tell you this, Rich,

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 1>but there's only one place to find you, usually the

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Barton sixth. Yeah, they changed their hours. You aren't going

0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to be able to run from this, you know. Mean

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.199
<v Speaker 1>you can try, but this isn't the kind of thing

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that goes away. The board is talking about bankruptcy. Rich,

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 1>They think you're gonna have to close the property board.

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 1>This the board that the board as your livelihood in

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>its hands, I mean, not just yours, that everyone who

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 1>works at that hotel. What are you going to tell them? Oh? Thanks,

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, So what would you do? I mean, you're

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 1>the advisor, right, advise me. Honestly, the best thing you

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.960
<v Speaker 1>can do at this point is cut your losses. Deficit

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.240
<v Speaker 1>is so deep. The only way you'd be able to

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 1>make up these kind of numbers that you do something drastic,

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>do a reno, get some sort of major celebrity endorsement.

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>How long ago I have the board is making the

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 1>decision on Friday? Okay, I'll take care of it. Trust me,

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Trust me, Daphne Rich, where the hell are you? I

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 1>had a thing, a meeting, okay, but where Hollywood Boulevard? Why?

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Trust me? I know I'm on my way back to

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the hotel. How is it over there? Oh twice? The

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.399
<v Speaker 1>amount of people here for the show is there? Are

0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>paying customers? So the usual We're not a capacity to right,

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>are we? No? Rich, We're not a capacity. Can you

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>think of the last time we were at capacity? Because

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.679
<v Speaker 1>I can't, so I assume my suite is open. You

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>know I never took out the elves? Sweet? When are

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you going to admit you live there? I'll see you

0:21:54.880 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>soon day I'll be here. Guys usually who we're slow down?

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Why are you doing like this? I'm not asking for much, okay?

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.919
<v Speaker 1>All I asked for was one night to ourselves. It

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>has been to ourselves. We wanted to take one picture

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and video and live stream and story, and me wanted

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to share this experience with my fans. Should affect the

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 1>time we're spending together. It does when all I wanted

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 1>was for you, for once to want to share the

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 1>experience with me. Oh boy, what do you think you're

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at? Me? Two gifts who should probably take what

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it seems to be a private conversation to their private suite.

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:41.360
<v Speaker 1>We're paying gas. You can't talk to us like that, Cooper,

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 1>and let's just go out. I'd watch it. If I

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 1>were you, I could probably get you fired with my

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>thought worms. I'd like to see you try, Cooper, let's go.

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean the girl's own boyfriend couldn't stand it. Caused

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a whole scene in the lobby. They left a few

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 1>minutes after they went back to the sweet I didn't

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>see him again the rest of the night. And again, Oh,

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean to sound insensitive, but can you really

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 1>blame him? I'm sorry to say, but I can't excuse me.

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't need to say that. So it's just about midnight,

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>but thanks to jet lag, I am wide awake as

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>is apparently everyone else staying at this hotel. Sorry, excuse me, Yes,

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it's true what they say about it being the city

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that never sleeps? Or wait, was that Vegas? Either way,

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you Hollywood is for hustlers. Not to mention

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>what the zero percent humidity is doing for my hair.

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Just look at the people. These suits are named after

0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the Marylyn and Rose Sweet. She was an orphan before

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>she became an international sex symbol. Audrey Hepburn survived World

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>War Two and worked as a chorus girl before she

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>was cast as Gigi. And of course the King himself.

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that when he was a kid, Elvis

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>was teased and called hillbilly. See, all of these people

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>have one thing in common. They came from nothing and

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>overcame everything. Maybe that's why I like so much about

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>this place. It's proof that there's hope. What do you

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.239
<v Speaker 1>guys think does l a suit me better than New

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 1>York knows? Maybe it's time to start a new chapter.

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's the reason for all of this. Okay, we're soon. Sorry,

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I was just stop. What are you doing this? You've

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>reached the end of the investigation. It's time to decide

0:24:55.640 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>who you think killed Eloise. Here are your suspects. Eloise's boyfriend, Cooper.

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for me. Eloise

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>is super fan Haley. I just can't believe she's called

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Eloise is the whole reason that I'm here today. The

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>manager at the Old Hollywood Hotel, Daphne, I'm not exactly

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a fan of this whole influencer thing. I see the

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of people that social media is making a famous

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 1>or the owner Rich. The only way you'd be able

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to make up these kind of numbers if you do

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 1>something drastic, I'll take care of it. Trust me. We'll

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.880
<v Speaker 1>be back with the answer after a word from our sponsor.

<v Speaker 1>as a pr stunt to bring attention and business to

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the struggling property. The board is talking about bankruptcy rings.

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>They think you're gonna have to close the hotel. But

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>it was a feature of the hotel that gave Rich

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>away as the killer. The night of the murder, Rich

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:21.760
