Speaker 1: Hey, listeners, it's James Parker. Can you keep a secret?
Speaker 1: The next episode of Daughters of DC is up next,
Speaker 1: But first a quick word from our sponsor, iin Horn's
Speaker 1: Epic Productions, and I heard radio present Daughters of DC.
Speaker 1: James Parker is in Angela. Parker's daughter released my phone records.
Speaker 1: That's right, the very same. Please, that's absurd. He's a child.
Speaker 1: It had to have been the use. I had just
Speaker 1: finished negotiating, aliating. You don't seem to understand your role here,
Speaker 1: jud Reine, Now what does that mean. It means you
Speaker 1: need to get your house in order before you start
Speaker 1: throwing your weight around. You're in no position to make demands.
Speaker 1: Look at yourself, exposed, vulnerable. Anyone who supports your nomination
Speaker 1: wouldn't want that. Trust me when I say the lose
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with this, But he couldn't have been.
Speaker 1: How knowledgeable are you in American history, judge read very
Speaker 1: the American Revolution in particular. Now, wouldn't you tell me
Speaker 1: the name of the traitor who dealt the most grippling
Speaker 1: damage to the fledgling American cause? That's easy, Benedict Arnold.
Speaker 1: I failed to see the point of your game. Her
Speaker 1: name was An Bates actually operated as a spy for
Speaker 1: the British Crown for years, right under the noses of
Speaker 1: American soldiers. But do you know how You'll have to
Speaker 1: enlighten me because no one suspected her because on the
Speaker 1: surface she was a school teacher, a mother, a respectable
Speaker 1: young woman. I still don't think a sixteen year old
Speaker 1: your enemies are legion judge read and they're the ones
Speaker 1: you least expect. Be smart. Take It's no secret that
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere. You could say
Speaker 1: it's gone viral. That's why my friends and I decided
Speaker 1: 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. It wasn't exactly the battillion of Cole's dreams,
Speaker 1: but it did have the entire school talking. And I
Speaker 1: have to admit seeing Tanner in the hot seat on
Speaker 1: account of his evil predendator was very satisfying. Not that
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it or anything. Okay, who am I getting?
Speaker 1: It was glorious seeing him scramble until it wasn't Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? INSTI fam I know I have some haters
Speaker 1: to the comments. You can't shut up about my dad's emails.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to talk politics right now. That
Speaker 1: is just so boring. I know what y'all are here
Speaker 1: for the sloppy stylings of DC's finest. So without further ado,
Speaker 1: I present Cattle. Oh, let's go to the the biggest
Speaker 1: slotted DuPont prep a one, ms Hayton Blackbird. I know
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, what does it take to get a
Speaker 1: Jesus fruit look her to dance like that? Great question?
Speaker 1: The answer is vodka, vodka and more voda. It's the fam.
Speaker 1: Let me know what you think of little Princess Peyton's
Speaker 1: dance moves down in the comments, I swear that anymore
Speaker 1: allows around the field. Wait like, um, y'all, hey, have
Speaker 1: y'all seen my clothes? My locker is empty. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you didn't leave him at Celia's party. Pay what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Ga? Well, it's like little miss Golden
Speaker 1: Girl is gonna have to stick the walks game. M h. Peyton,
Speaker 1: have you seen this video? I've been a practice all
Speaker 1: more and what video? I'm so sorry? It's on Tanner's Instagram.
Speaker 1: It's you at Celia's party, dancing before you guys went upstairs.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, I'm so sorry. I will kill him. Well,
Speaker 1: that explains it, I guess explains what nothing? Just some
Speaker 1: girls stole my clothes from my locker. What And that's
Speaker 1: not even the worst of it. Someone put my gym
Speaker 1: clothes back in my bag, stamped except what they wrote
Speaker 1: slut across my shirt in red marker. They are dead.
Speaker 1: We have to figure out who did this, James, don't worry. Um.
Speaker 1: All we have to do is pinpoint when the clothes
Speaker 1: were stolen, maybe hack into the school security feeds. I
Speaker 1: already know who did it, y'all. I recognized the handwriting.
Speaker 1: Who was it? Valentina Seldania? Are you friends with her?
Speaker 1: I thought I would. I knew it. Her shoes are
Speaker 1: knock off, Jimmy, choose the girls a fraud. She's been
Speaker 1: hiding in plain sight. What should we do? I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk to her? Really, we can always just skip
Speaker 1: straight to revenge. No, we're doing things my way. She's
Speaker 1: right outside b R B. Wait, Peyton, what about your clothes?
Speaker 1: I have a seal Aaron my go bag. Say the
Speaker 1: word and I'm there in two minutes. They want me
Speaker 1: to be afraid, but I won't give them the satisfaction.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing my shirt, scarlet, letter and all. Are you
Speaker 1: sure absolutely they want to walk a shame, I'll give
Speaker 1: it to him. Something on your mind, baby, hacker. I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about what I overheard of the botilion. What
Speaker 1: did you hear? Not much before, I was caught something
Speaker 1: between Judge Reid and a lose They're working together in secret,
Speaker 1: I think are for the course in as anything like
Speaker 1: this unchecked power breeds secrecy and corruption. Yeah, yeah, blah,
Speaker 1: blah blah. I know that's not what I'm confused about. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just a friend just found out that someone she trusted,
Speaker 1: her friend, betrayed her. It got me thinking, how do
Speaker 1: we know who our enemies are when when they could
Speaker 1: be right under our noses? Exactly? You have to look
Speaker 1: at who has something to gain from a situation? Yeah,
Speaker 1: who was seeing greater power? Who wouldn't do anything to
Speaker 1: obtain it? I really think the loser of working with Reid.
Speaker 1: I hadn't tried to warn Celia, But your friend was
Speaker 1: still acrossed by someone closer, Yes, someone who was almost
Speaker 1: like a family. What are you implying maybe when it
Speaker 1: comes to your enemies, baby actor, you should look a
Speaker 1: little closer to home. Closer to home you mean like
Speaker 1: my family. No, that's not possible. You'd be implying either
Speaker 1: Coal or my mom and Cole makes no sense, but
Speaker 1: then neither does Mom. But why did you invite Read
Speaker 1: to the Bertillion? And why would I have to be
Speaker 1: seen dancing with Tanner? What? Indeed? Wait, Blocksmith? What do
Speaker 1: you mean Blocksmith? Oh? Nice outfit, Valentina, Can we talk me? Yes?
Speaker 1: You now? Hey? D o DC fans stay tuned more.
Speaker 1: Daughters of d C is up next, but first a
Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor. Head to Daughters of DC
Speaker 1: dot com to get exclusive d o DC news updates
Speaker 1: and content before everybody else. Be honest with me, Valentina,
Speaker 1: why do you hate me? I don't know where you're
Speaker 1: talking about. I know this is your handwriting on my shirt.
Speaker 1: Remember when we did the Lacrosse bake sale together last year?
Speaker 1: I had to staple about two hundred of your handwritten
Speaker 1: posters around campus. You do a funny swiggle on your tees.
Speaker 1: I know this was you. Please don't tell Master Whifford.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I won't wait. Really, Yes, really, but I
Speaker 1: need to know why I think you owe me that much. Hey,
Speaker 1: it was just a joke. It got out of hand.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just a joke. We were friends, weren't we.
Speaker 1: Friends don't do that to each other. Hey, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: for the shirt. It was Jia's stupid idea and I
Speaker 1: was just playing along. But honestly, it's nothing compared to
Speaker 1: what people are saying about you behind your back. What
Speaker 1: are they saying? You know, like you're easy and a
Speaker 1: sloppy drunk and now you're hooking up with Cole right
Speaker 1: after you hooked up with Tanner. I did not hook
Speaker 1: up with Tanner. I know you're trying to be modest,
Speaker 1: but we all saw you go upstairs with him and
Speaker 1: he assaulted me. I told him no a bunch of times,
Speaker 1: but he didn't listen. He assaulted me. Come on, Tanner's pushed, sure,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't call it. What do you mean Tainer's pushy?
Speaker 1: How would you know Tanner and I hooked up or whatever?
Speaker 1: What when at Jessica's last year after the playoffs you
Speaker 1: weren't there. I think you were doing the habitat for
Speaker 1: humanity or it's something in anyway, we hooked up. It
Speaker 1: was weird, but whatever, it was just Tanner being Tanner?
Speaker 1: How was it weird? He he was pushy, Like I said,
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Pushy is a big deal. Val,
Speaker 1: It's a very big deal. Val. Did he assault you too?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was drunk off my butt on
Speaker 1: that horrible tequila we stole from Jessica's sisters Stash. I
Speaker 1: was flirty, he was flirty. You know how it gets
Speaker 1: it to pomp parties? Why and you tell me? I
Speaker 1: just wanted to forget that it happened, Okay. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to think about it anymore. Yeah, I know what
Speaker 1: you mean. But that's not an option, isn't It gets
Speaker 1: so you can't eat, I can't sleep. I asked him
Speaker 1: to stop. I'm so sorry that have you talked to
Speaker 1: anyone after it happened. I tried to just move on,
Speaker 1: but I was having these horrible nightmares. I couldn't focus
Speaker 1: in class I even. I eventually went to Headmaster Whitford.
Speaker 1: I told him everything you reported it, that's great, right, No,
Speaker 1: he he told me there are two sides to this
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I started asking me all these questions,
Speaker 1: telling me I was probably confused because Tanner was a
Speaker 1: good kid. Somehow it made me feel guilty for even
Speaker 1: bringing it up. He told me he would file an
Speaker 1: incident report, that he'd bring it up to the school board,
Speaker 1: but I never heard anything about it afterwards. And then
Speaker 1: I started thinking maybe it was my fault, Maybe I
Speaker 1: let him on. Maybe I was overreacting about the whole thing. No,
Speaker 1: you weren't. What's the point of admitting that if no
Speaker 1: one believes me. I believe you. He did the same
Speaker 1: thing to me, Vel the same thing. It doesn't matter, Tanner.
Speaker 1: He gets whatever he wants. That's just how the school works.
Speaker 1: But what if it wasn't? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I have an idea? Well, how was school today? I
Speaker 1: got a name on my ap KIM test? Mom? Can
Speaker 1: I ask you a question? What's on your mind? Forget it? No?
Speaker 1: What's your question? James? Nothing? Never mind? You know the
Speaker 1: one I've been stressing about for weeks. James, Why did
Speaker 1: I have to go to the berttillion with Canner Reid?
Speaker 1: I had my reasons. You'll just have to trust me. Why, James, Renee,
Speaker 1: how do you're the one who made me humiliate myself
Speaker 1: with that creep and for what you're useless political gamesmanship.
Speaker 1: Excused me? Yeah, I learned that word from Natalie, and
Speaker 1: you're guilty of it. You were not going to sit
Speaker 1: at my dinner table and accuse me. Stop it, both
Speaker 1: of you, Cole, that was supposed to be my night.
Speaker 1: I prepared for months, between the cross practice and schoolwork
Speaker 1: and everything else. I worked my butt off for that
Speaker 1: one night, and I did it for Dad. Baby. I
Speaker 1: I know it didn't go the way we plan. You
Speaker 1: use the whole of it as a photo op to
Speaker 1: buddy up to your racist conservative colleagues. Cole, that's not fair.
Speaker 1: Everything I do you do for me, you let them
Speaker 1: use my botillion for cheap diversity points. How many of
Speaker 1: my friends would judge read lock up in a heartbeat?
Speaker 1: And you, James, you and your friends couldn't have saved
Speaker 1: your drama for another night. You seriously couldn't let me
Speaker 1: have this. I'm going to my room. Yes, that means
Speaker 1: I'm excused to Hey, wait, we need to talk this
Speaker 1: all out like a family. Let me know when we
Speaker 1: start being one. Hey, seals urgent, meet me in the table. Natalie,
Speaker 1: get down here. Now, what your antics at the party
Speaker 1: turns you into a meme. Hi, I would like to
Speaker 1: um tell a lot, I mean make a toast. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but cuss off of the past. Have you seen these
Speaker 1: comments I as a kite, drunken and bugging hashtag toast fail?
Speaker 1: Are you trying to take my reelection? I was helping
Speaker 1: a friend, okay, something you should be applotting, and it
Speaker 1: got a little out of hands, a little Natalie. What
Speaker 1: are college is going to think when they see this?
Speaker 1: I don't care, Dad, I don't even want to go
Speaker 1: to go. My heart can only takes so much of this.
Speaker 1: How am I even going to apply? If my s
Speaker 1: A T score is fraudulent, that's your doing that not
Speaker 1: I know, but look, you can retake the test on
Speaker 1: your own this time. We can scrub the other score
Speaker 1: from the record. No one has to know it ever happened.
Speaker 1: That is so not the point. It did happen, and
Speaker 1: scrubbing it from my record is just burying the truth,
Speaker 1: which is that you compromise your core values so I
Speaker 1: could have a higher school. Please let's just move on
Speaker 1: from this. I'm not moving on the Harry Rosenberg I
Speaker 1: used to know wouldn't want me to Thanks for meeting me.
Speaker 1: I wanted to stretch out these lubatants. Anyway, what's the emergency.
Speaker 1: I really need to talk to you about something I
Speaker 1: overheard at the Botilion. Judge Read and your dad, What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? I don't know exactly what they
Speaker 1: were saying, but it sounded like Read was angry with
Speaker 1: your parents, like they were working for him and they
Speaker 1: had messed up or something. My parents worked for no
Speaker 1: one but themselves. You must have misheard Seals. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure I didn't. I'm just wondering if Read has people
Speaker 1: secretly working for him. You think it's my family? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea what to inc In fact,
Speaker 1: I have a source who tells me it might be
Speaker 1: my family. Well, that would make a hell of a
Speaker 1: lot more sense. What oh, please, James. My parents are discreet,
Speaker 1: they handle their affairs and strict confidence in any case,
Speaker 1: they don't need favors from someone like Crawford Read. Your mother,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, my mother, what I mean? She's
Speaker 1: nothing but an opportunistic ladder climber. Shed a photo of
Speaker 1: with a brick wall if she thought it would give
Speaker 1: her an ounce a political cloud. Everyone knows it it's
Speaker 1: a little sad. Actually, my parents have integrity. Integrity, Celia.
Speaker 1: They didn't even raise you. They're always off doing god
Speaker 1: knows what, leaving their daughter in the care of who
Speaker 1: they're a driver. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Williams like family to me. You know my mom might
Speaker 1: be involved in some backdoor deals. This is d C
Speaker 1: who isn't. But at least I know she loves me.
Speaker 1: Can you say the same for your parents? Listen, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, but we don't
Speaker 1: have much time. Judge Reid's hearing is coming up and
Speaker 1: we need to figure out. You know why we stopped
Speaker 1: being friends, James, Uh, yeah, you know the Colorama incident.
Speaker 1: I never cared about that. No, we stopped being friends
Speaker 1: because I find you utterly embarrassing. You think hiding behind
Speaker 1: your smart curl exterior will conceal the fact that deep
Speaker 1: down you're a friendless, pathetic loser and you're an arrogant, shallow,
Speaker 1: rich girl who doesn't care about anything but her designer
Speaker 1: footwear and her Instagram followers. I thought you changed, Celia.
Speaker 1: I thought being back in d O DC would make
Speaker 1: you a better person. I was wrong. You know I
Speaker 1: should go. These shoes are killing me. Hey, y'all, I
Speaker 1: talked it out with Alentina. I think I finally know
Speaker 1: what I need to do. James either, Yeah, sorry, I
Speaker 1: got distracted. What's up? We're Celia. I don't think she'll
Speaker 1: be joining us tonight. I want it all y'all to
Speaker 1: hear this. But okay, I've decided what I want to
Speaker 1: do about Tanner, but I need y'all's help anything always,
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? I want to go public,
Speaker 1: tell the truth about my assault once and for all.
Speaker 1: I'm done hiding. How Yes, girl, that's amazing. Pay I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of you. B RB Guys, well, you may
Speaker 1: have been right about my mom. Believe me when I
Speaker 1: tell you it. It aims me to be right all
Speaker 1: the time. If I want to stop her and read,
Speaker 1: I need proof and I have no idea where to look?
Speaker 1: Oh baby a, how do you look? Nothing for me?
Speaker 1: It's quite simple. What do you know about my mom?
Speaker 1: You know? Where would be the fun? And just telling
Speaker 1: you you'll have to find it yourself. But where where
Speaker 1: everyone source their skeletons in this wretched town? Baby anchor?
