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: I'm here place the package of the base of the
Speaker 1: contemplation of justice. Oh. I have waited years for this moment, decades.
Speaker 1: With this pact, you shall soon walk these faunted halls.
Speaker 1: I'll get to make my mark. Citizens United, Burwell versus
Speaker 1: Hobby Lobby, Santa Clara versus Southern Pacific Railroad, corporations of people,
Speaker 1: and those people will always have an ally on the court.
Speaker 1: M It's no secret that in Washington, d C. Corruption
Speaker 1: is everywhere. You could say it's gone viral. That's why
Speaker 1: my friends and I decided to take on the system
Speaker 1: from the inside. I'm James, I'm Peyton, I'm Celia, I'm Natalie,
Speaker 1: and we're the Daughters of EC. So that happened fast,
Speaker 1: and one weekend I went from playing hacker games to
Speaker 1: getting hauled off to the Headmaster's office. I should be scared.
Speaker 1: I am scared, But is it weird that I also
Speaker 1: feel this huge head rush. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: from my first real hack or from being with my
Speaker 1: friends again. Our parents kept us apart to keep us
Speaker 1: out of trouble. But what if getting into trouble is
Speaker 1: the right thing to do? Speaker Parker, your daughter broke
Speaker 1: into the school's administrative records. At a point, we take
Speaker 1: security very seriously. Usually we don't do two weeks suspensions
Speaker 1: on first affects. You need to be very careful about
Speaker 1: what comes next, sir. What makes my daughter different? Well
Speaker 1: the level of the breach. So her code was too good?
Speaker 1: Headmaster Whitford, James is bored? Is that true, James? Do
Speaker 1: you know how many stem magnets are clamoring for her?
Speaker 1: I keep her to point because I believe in a
Speaker 1: well rounded education. But let's treat the disease, not the symptom.
Speaker 1: And what's that if you ran a decent programming curriculum,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't have to test her skills on your security servers.
Speaker 1: Isn't that right, James? So let's do a three day
Speaker 1: suspension and if she does not misbehave further ex bunget
Speaker 1: from her record at the end of the year. Well,
Speaker 1: I am thank you, Headmaster. Let's go James. James, I
Speaker 1: can't believe you would pull a stunt like this. This
Speaker 1: is Calorama all over again. I'm sorry, mom, and the
Speaker 1: worst daughter of all time. Jay. What you did was wrong.
Speaker 1: But I know as much as you play your coding games,
Speaker 1: you would never do something like this unless you had
Speaker 1: a good reason. What's going on? I tried to help,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, I am, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The rules are different for people like us, Jay, and
Speaker 1: sometimes most times the whole system is corrupt, but one
Speaker 1: thing always wins in the long run. Privilege and inherited wealth, integrity. Jay,
Speaker 1: I can't fight all your battles for are you? But
Speaker 1: I'm not like you. You're a lot like your dad.
Speaker 1: He was measured, thoughtful, and radically kind and messy. Boy
Speaker 1: was he messy. He was really messy. But he was
Speaker 1: also courageous and I know he would want you to
Speaker 1: stand up for yourself. Stand in the light, Hi, Marcia. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're all worried about the open Supreme Court seat. Once that, James, sure, Mom,
Speaker 1: the President's already released his short list. Justice Ramirez only
Speaker 1: died five days ago. Who's on the list? Crawford read,
Speaker 1: are you joking. The man gutted protections from marginalized communities
Speaker 1: at every level. He's not a judge, he's an executioner.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good line. We have to go nuclear
Speaker 1: on this guy now, James, let's get straight to it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get George and the other theater kids and
Speaker 1: we're going to occupy the headmaster's office until he agrees
Speaker 1: to set you free. Please don't, Natalie, I'm fine. It
Speaker 1: is so unfair. You were just trying to help exactly
Speaker 1: getting back on track. Did you find your Auntanna? Or
Speaker 1: do we need to kneecap him ourselves? Celia, give James
Speaker 1: a minute to breathe. Oh my god, James tell us,
Speaker 1: is he the misogynist Perk? We all kind of knew
Speaker 1: he was no offense for dating him Payton. I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: there was an incident report, but get to the point.
Speaker 1: When I tried to download it got corrupted. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: We'll need to try something else. Why didn't I tell
Speaker 1: the girls about Locksmith? Well, I don't want Peyton to worry.
Speaker 1: She's got enough going on. Celia would just tell me
Speaker 1: to track him down and kick his ass, and Natalie
Speaker 1: would try to use him to get good he's off
Speaker 1: the dark web, but also maybe because he said he'd
Speaker 1: teach me, and I could really use a teacher right now.
Speaker 1: About that fifty strong to the first person who can
Speaker 1: give me info and a hacker named lock Smith, Yes,
Speaker 1: it has to be actual info. Have you worked with
Speaker 1: him before? How do you contact him? You are too cute, storm,
Speaker 1: as if I don't already have a buttonet of my own?
Speaker 1: Hey our next? Do you know locksmith? Locksmith? No? But
Speaker 1: the after the lock is interesting. I think he's in
Speaker 1: a lot of key. Doesn't strike me as a comics guy,
Speaker 1: more like John Locke, the dude from the Enlightenment. I
Speaker 1: haven't played that game, but I'll keep an eye out.
Speaker 1: Would you beat with this dude? Anyway? I don't need
Speaker 1: to tell you. I'll tell you. Might see goods to
Speaker 1: detail me yours? I don't think, so I'll start. I'm
Speaker 1: not just stereotypical hacker. That's not a secret. That's opinion. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: then what's a secret? A secret is like I saw
Speaker 1: my mom's credit card to buy Beyonce tickets and then
Speaker 1: said it was a credit card fraud and could listen
Speaker 1: to Beyonce for a month. Without feeling guilty, or I
Speaker 1: have panic attacks when people ask me to dance with
Speaker 1: parties in a totally random examples. I see then, My
Speaker 1: secret is I think you might be the only person
Speaker 1: who knows the real me. Wait One, the headmaster will
Speaker 1: see you next. Peyton, Hey, Cole, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1: Trying to get an exemption so you can join two
Speaker 1: sports this season? Don't say that too loud. It'll get
Speaker 1: back to my mom and suddenly I'll be on every
Speaker 1: team in school. And I do not mess with Poland
Speaker 1: It's true. She's so persuasive. Oh I know. Remember the
Speaker 1: girl scout cookies? Oh yeah, James brought home enough cases
Speaker 1: to feed Roal Island and she was too afraid to
Speaker 1: knock on doors. So your mom convinced me Samoa's were
Speaker 1: the best cookie ever, even though I hate coconut but
Speaker 1: ten boxes. She kept trying to pawn them off on
Speaker 1: Aisian interns as special bonuses. So I'm here to talk
Speaker 1: sins into Waitford about James. Same. Are you two still friends?
Speaker 1: I thought you all grew apart. Yeah, but you know, James,
Speaker 1: She's so loyal and it was kind of my fault. Um,
Speaker 1: it was because of me that James. I get it.
Speaker 1: You two always had each other's backs. Yeah we did.
Speaker 1: We do all right? Kids. I'm on in, got your
Speaker 1: paying next definating not yet. I just wanted to see
Speaker 1: if you heard about James Parker. Ah, but I mean,
Speaker 1: who speak to Angela Parker's kid? She got busted for hacking?
Speaker 1: What a new? That's wild? I hadn't heard read it
Speaker 1: the White hand, All the forms are blown up about it.
Speaker 1: She actually did it well at school. That's hacking one
Speaker 1: on one off site girl. Yeah, but it's not like
Speaker 1: we know all the details. Maybe she was in a hurry.
Speaker 1: Are you defending her? Even your skills are above that greenhorn? Well,
Speaker 1: she sounds like she's better than you, at least anyway.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bounce. I hear the toilet flushing and it
Speaker 1: reminds me after pay that was close and awful. I'm
Speaker 1: the laughing stock of the hacker verse. What's going on?
Speaker 1: I got my SAT scores back and I kicked it
Speaker 1: in its elitist white supremises, traditionalist ass on nad way
Speaker 1: to go. I know you worked so long or so,
Speaker 1: the Ivy League is back on the table. I don't
Speaker 1: even want to go to college. But now my dad
Speaker 1: can yell at me about my grads anymore. Actually that's
Speaker 1: not why we called you and James. Oh yeah, being
Speaker 1: and col tried to break you out of suspension jail,
Speaker 1: but Headmaster Whitford Wooden budge, sorry, thanks for trying anyway,
Speaker 1: As promised, I've got a plan. If we can't get
Speaker 1: the digital copy of Tanner's records, we'll get the hard copy.
Speaker 1: Are you saying? Natalie and I are breaking into the
Speaker 1: school tonight? Hie baby, whoa? Y'all count me out. If
Speaker 1: I got caught, my dad would ground me forever. Let's
Speaker 1: do this. I'll be your girl in the chair, the
Speaker 1: eyes and the ears of the whole operation. Y'all. I'll
Speaker 1: really appreciate this. You're such good friends. I'm already putting
Speaker 1: on my sneaking blacks. They're my theater blacks, got for sneaking.
Speaker 1: M Hey. D O DC fans, stay tuned more Daughters
Speaker 1: of d C is up next, But first a quick
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. What's up? Daughters of DC fans

Speaker 1: for bench? A peon at DuPont must with one of
Speaker 1: our friends. Now he's going to get his This is interesting.
Speaker 1: Celia says, you were in the military, William any tips?
Speaker 1: If the military taught me anything, it was shoot to kids.
Speaker 1: You're terrifying will also nice music? Single one not a
Speaker 1: he wants to keep his job. Wait here, George is
Speaker 1: never going to believe this. I mean I will tell
Speaker 1: him because secrets, but he wouldn't believe it anyway. Who's
Speaker 1: George my theater? Bff? He's adorable. I didn't know you
Speaker 1: how to hook up? George is not He's like never
Speaker 1: long Bottom minus whatever happened with him? A Luna? I
Speaker 1: always shipped Hermione and Luna. Mackenzie's a total harmony. I mean,
Speaker 1: who was Mackenzie one? Celia, shut up. We're breaking and
Speaker 1: entering right now. Whos tell me everything? Fine? She's at Georgetown.
Speaker 1: We met an Abisa when our parents were vacationing over
Speaker 1: the summer. You see her maybe once a month. It's
Speaker 1: kind of perfect. Oh my god, not a big deal.
Speaker 1: I mean the doors locked with like five dead bolts,
Speaker 1: so I can't pick the lock the locks. Seriously, I
Speaker 1: don't know I can pick confirmed you have, James, how
Speaker 1: do we get in? Do we need to break a window?
Speaker 1: He was grappling hooks to repel the roof. I bet
Speaker 1: your driver has one of those. Scary so I tried
Speaker 1: to break into the school security feed and unlock the
Speaker 1: doors automatically. Didn't work. It turns out I don't know
Speaker 1: how to do that. I did remember that Miss Norris,
Speaker 1: the lunch lady, takes so many smoke breaks during the
Speaker 1: day that she always leaves the cafeteria delivery door open.
Speaker 1: How do you know that? They give me my tray
Speaker 1: out the back door and then I go eat in
Speaker 1: the computer lab. That is just use a stupid door
Speaker 1: and block Smith. You've been searching for me, Yeah, you've
Speaker 1: got me in a lot of trouble. You can't avoid
Speaker 1: such dangers if you simply cease and the status quo.
Speaker 1: I just want the files back. That's not how this
Speaker 1: relationship works. James, James, come in, Come in, James, James,
Speaker 1: come in over? Is this all this worst? It's not
Speaker 1: a walkie talkie. I'm sorry I got distracted. Are you in.
Speaker 1: Tell me what's happening we're in This is so cool.
Speaker 1: I feel like Oracle or Alfred or here's that security hide? Oh,
Speaker 1: let me see if I can find security schedule. Harry James,
Speaker 1: head Master Whitford. Still haven't changed this password. Okay, securities
Speaker 1: on this floor for ten minutes. So you want to
Speaker 1: use the secret passageways? Come on? Not only excuse, say
Speaker 1: what right can you reach peak economic status? Certain doors
Speaker 1: open for you must are metaphorical, buts some some are
Speaker 1: quite literal. Holy, grab a secret door, an actual secret passageway.
Speaker 1: This is just like Zelda. Of course, the rich kids
Speaker 1: have their own private passageways, so I'm brand for the
Speaker 1: one percent. This route takes us past the guard and
Speaker 1: connects us to the biolob stock room. How did this
Speaker 1: even get here? It's nothing compared to the empty house
Speaker 1: past the athletic field. It was a military bunker in
Speaker 1: case DC got invaded. Now we use it to throw
Speaker 1: free homecoming Square's you knew about all these places and
Speaker 1: never told us there aren't that many. Sure, there's the
Speaker 1: secret old teacher's lounge hidden behind the art room on
Speaker 1: the third floor that we retrofitted into a club. How
Speaker 1: can you keep this from us? Celia? We're supposed to
Speaker 1: be friends. We are friends, James, but I can have
Speaker 1: other friends too. You should try it sometime. Seriously, you
Speaker 1: don't need to eat lunch alone. But that's not what
Speaker 1: so you called me to appear and empting to ignore me.
Speaker 1: My benevolence is not guaranteed. Sorry, you've been a little
Speaker 1: busy not breaking into school records again? No cost, no
Speaker 1: one baby anchor. So what is it? You could be
Speaker 1: up to nothing. I just want you to teach me
Speaker 1: how to be a better coder, like I don't know
Speaker 1: how to access security footage. It's interesting, h We're in
Speaker 1: the bio stock room. Where's the headmaster's office? This way?
Speaker 1: I protested Whitford enough to know it in my sleep.
Speaker 1: The guard should be on the second floor now, but
Speaker 1: he'll be back down in about ten minutes. Won't the
Speaker 1: office be locked? That's why I always wear twenty bobby
Speaker 1: bans one girl control to lock bigs. You don't know how, Yes,
Speaker 1: I told you every revolutionary worth their salt knows how
Speaker 1: to pick a lock. Shut up. We're searching through the files.
Speaker 1: This is the most exciting game. That's not really game
Speaker 1: that I've ever played. I found danners. Let me see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very similar to Peyton happened after all the cross game
Speaker 1: off campus. No proof? So so what detention bench from
Speaker 1: the team? What? Nothing? He got nothing? Dang? Who filed
Speaker 1: the complaint? I don't know. It's blacked out adapted. That's
Speaker 1: like n s A level sketchy ship. The guard he's
Speaker 1: early quite shut the door in there. I've got you
Speaker 1: cornered radio for the police right now. No, no, no crap.
Speaker 1: Run you're right about the hedge on the cuff lawn
Speaker 1: head of the stoft right, come out the window. What
Speaker 1: do you think I'm doing them? It's ducking near you
Speaker 1: with there the moolice other way, let me try. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, get out of my way. Stop back here,
Speaker 1: I go. Oh my god, I read please make it,
Speaker 1: make it, make it, make it. Step it, William. They
Speaker 1: made it. Thank god, that was so close. I've decided
Speaker 1: to grant you your request. Here's the code for apprhanding
Speaker 1: and destroying security footage. Thank you tell me? Could Chris
Speaker 1: pertain to a call I intercepted from a due punk
Speaker 1: Print security guard to the local police about a shooters.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about Oh yes, much
Speaker 1: like Alexander Hamilton. You need to be more Carol hiding
Speaker 1: your affairs, James Partner, you know who I am? Are
Speaker 1: you along now? It called me a matter of time
Speaker 1: before to check the feed better wifely clean and hope
Speaker 1: no one else got to it first. Yes, thank you,
Speaker 1: I will Okay, that was way too close? Is everything
Speaker 1: in place? It's about your son. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. How sure you do? Judge read? And
Speaker 1: if you want to become a justice read I'm going
Speaker 1: to need a little more from you. What do you need?
