M hm hm.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Hm.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You don't mind? Do you want being taped?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Nah?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
If I did, then I'd probably need to rethink my profession,
wouldn't I. So usually I'm the one pressing record, you know,
on my phone, not something so antique vintage.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
It's how we do it back home.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Really, I mean, I could have guessed you weren't from here, but.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
A reminder that we're not here to talk about me,
but rather you missus Simmons.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
J Just Sarah's fine, right, Well, let's.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
See, Sarah Simmons. You graduated mid top of your class
at Northeastern. Both parents are school teachers, so I imagine
you'll be paying that off for a while, held a
couple of odd assistant jobs after UNI, but for months
now unemployed.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I'm sorry you have a file on me.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
It's not hard when you lay out your entire life
for the whole online world to see.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Wait, you get internet.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
You're a person of interest in a possible murder, and
that's your question. If I get Internet?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Well, how close from passable to confirmed?
Speaker 8 (03:41):
Close enough that I wouldn't be so unconcerned if I
were you.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I know I didn't do anything, so I've got nothing
to worry about.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
So it's pure luck that you turn up in Danville
just as the town sees its first real crime in decades.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Like I already told you, I was on my way
back from doing research at the reserve when your car
broke down.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Yes I remember, but you don't believe me. I don't
believe in coincidences, so much so in fact, that I've
built my career in dismantling them.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Must be quite a record. Then if you ended up
here in Danville, a town which, how did you put it,
hasn't seen a real crime in decades, that's a.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Fine line you're walking. Miss Simmons, Best be careful not
to fall.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Hasn't seen a real crime. You haven't seen a real crime,
hasn't seen a real crime decade.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
I don't believe in coincidence.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I don't believe in analog, not without its quirks. We're
busy in here, Oldbert, just want to.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Let you know that we finally identified the remains.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Wait here, Okay. Sophie sheriff, who by the way, is
not vibing with me at all, just stepped out after
her Sideka came in looking like a spooked walrus, saying
they identified the body. Now they're out there talking, arguing,
hold on, I'm gonna get a better view. Okay, I
(05:05):
can't hear what they're saying, but she doesn't look happy.
He's explaining. She's not having it. He's shaking his head,
and they keep repeating something not Alfonso, either that or
how potato. I don't really wish i'd taking that lip
reading classic crap. Now they're pointing at me and she's
turned shit. Well, miss Simmons, Sarah, you are free to go.
(05:28):
How come h excuse me? A moment ago you were
a hair's breath away from accusing me of murder. But
now I just pick up and go.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
That's right, you're no longer of interest to this investigation.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Which means I have an alibi. So then the murder
must have happened before I got to town, or better yet,
while I.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Was with Jack.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
That's quite the deduction. It makes sense if the body
you found wasn't someone else's body is putting it generously,
So who is it?
Speaker 9 (05:54):
A local?
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Aaron McDonald?
Speaker 8 (05:58):
And like you said, your alibi is saw So I
recommend leaving before the frenzy arrives. The last thing this
town needs is another gossip with a mic. And if
I don't, then you'll see that a tape recorder is
not my only old Habit won't be the first time
I deal with unwanted attention. It certainly won't be the last.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Right, got it? You never answered my question?
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Which one?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
If you get internet, no, we get facts.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Oh my gosh, you're out.
Speaker 11 (06:40):
I tried asking Albert what was taking this long? But
the man, somehow, for the first time in his life,
decided to take a.
Speaker 12 (06:45):
Vow of silence and then then made me wait outside
because I was quote unquote disturbing police protocol, which I
don't think is even a real thing.
Speaker 11 (06:57):
And then I heard the news about Erin and he
wouldn't tell me if you needed a lawyer.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Whoa whoa, whoa hold on? Did you think I was
getting arrested?
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:05):
No, yesterday I thought I lived in a safe town.
And now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh, ye have little faith. I'm fine and I don't
need a lawyer, though I am fascinated to know what
ace defense attorney you'd call on if I did or
did I miss a firm on my way in.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
Yeah, you're right, you probably wouldn't be any good or
she Really, you're making a case for gender equality in
a hypothetically shitty lawyer.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Women have just as much a right to mediocrity as
men do.
Speaker 10 (07:35):
I'm gonna stop now because this feels like a trap.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
So so what now?
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Well the sheriff said, I'm free to go all clear.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, no it is.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I guess I just started to like it here in Danville.
Oh gruesome death notwithstanding.
Speaker 10 (07:56):
Of course, Yeah, yeah, of course, So you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Go go that's the plan. I mean, this whole murder thing,
it's it's not really my beat.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
You know, can't force put us in there exactly.
Speaker 11 (08:12):
Well, the Tunnell messie.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Somehow I doubt that part of it.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
Well, so this is it.
Speaker 11 (08:22):
Thus the greatest adventure known to man and woman comes
to a close.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
One final hurrah. Come on, that was weak.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'll work on it.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Well, oh yeah, bring it in. We're doing Yeah, see
you not not it is? How hard is it to
just hug?
Speaker 7 (08:49):
But no?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
You just had to make it weird?
Speaker 13 (08:50):
Why Sarah?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Why? Okay? Let's see, I think everything. No Christmas sweater?
I know I put it here somewhere, I think think
where was it?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Sorry, I didn't think there was anyone in here?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's fine.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
I didn't mean to.
Speaker 13 (09:10):
Are you okay?
Speaker 9 (09:12):
It's nothing?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Hate to be that person, but doesn't look like nothing.
You sure you're okay?
Speaker 9 (09:19):
What do you care?
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Well, I'm a human being with empathy. It's kind of hardwired.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Aren't you leaving or something?
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Listen, kid, you're young. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll pass.
Just give it some time.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Oh really? So how long I gotta wait for someone
to come back to life?
Speaker 14 (09:40):
A year?
Speaker 9 (09:41):
Maybe two?
Speaker 15 (09:42):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Yeah, didn't think so, did you know?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Aaron?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
No?
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Now I'm fucking crying for a stranger. What do you think?
Speaker 14 (09:52):
Right?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Dumb question?
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Sorry, you're just like them, you know, like who my
parents this town. They all think they know better because
they're older like us, kids are just stupid.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I'm sure that's not.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
We hear things, you know, when they whisper or when
they think they're alone.
Speaker 14 (10:14):
What do you hear?
Speaker 9 (10:16):
They say? The secrets are for our own good? But
I know they're lying, and Aaron knew it too. But
now she's gone and they still won't say the truth.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Avery, what do you hear?
Speaker 9 (10:34):
You don't want to know?
Speaker 13 (10:35):
Avery, stop bothering our guest. Oh sorry, dear, did I
startle you?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Oh no, no, that's not I just didn't hear you
come in, and he's not bothering me.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
I mean, Avery, come on, I told you to get dressed.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Your suit's been laid out.
Speaker 13 (10:50):
On your bed all morning.
Speaker 9 (10:52):
Yeah, whatever, Sorry about that.
Speaker 13 (10:56):
He's been taking all this pretty hard.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
He was friends with Aaron, right, friends falls a bit short.
Speaker 13 (11:05):
He never told us, but Jack and I saw how
they were together ever since they were little. And Ah,
now that poor girl. I can't imagine what her parents
are going through right now.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
It must be unbearable.
Speaker 13 (11:21):
Well, we're seeing them later today. Don't know how much
help a cast role will be, but I hope a
friendly face does better.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Did you know the McDonald's will know them?
Speaker 13 (11:33):
We grew up together right here in this very town.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Oh wow, that's a really long time. I mean, wasn't
referring to your age or anything, and I should probably
shut up, untaken. I just meant, I don't think there's
anyone in my life that I've known for longer than
a couple of years. Only family.
Speaker 16 (11:52):
I suppose that's what happens when you joined the great
big world out there. Everything's so bright and flashy, but
it's also fast and fast to move on. That's why
we value what we have here, even if others don't.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Right, you got all your things almost just missing one sweater.
I know I brought it with me, so it has
to be run here somewhere.
Speaker 13 (12:16):
You mean this one?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Ah found it? Do you think it'll be much longer
for my car?
Speaker 14 (12:23):
Buster says the parts are delayed. Oh so how do
I There's a bus leaving for Boston at eight.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
I can drive you to the station, but I can't
just leave my car here.
Speaker 14 (12:36):
Yeah, you'll have to. I spoke to Sheriff Allen. She
wants you on your way tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah, she made that pretty obvious.
Speaker 14 (12:44):
Here I'll take that.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Oh no, no, no, you don't have to. It's oh okay, goodbye, Sarah.
It was great meeting you. Yeah. Likewise, Hey, I'm sorry,
could you so don't want to be late. I'm really
not in that big hurry.
Speaker 14 (13:05):
Well you should be. Look, I'm sure you're aware of
Miss Simmons. This town's going through something horrible right now,
and we need to focus on our own, which means
the last thing we need is an outsider with prying eyes.
Sheriff Allen understands that, and I hope you do as well.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Seems like I went from Sarah to Miss Simmons real quick.
You're the one who invited me.
Speaker 14 (13:29):
That was before, and now I'm saying you should go
here after you.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Last call for the seven fifty okay.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Hi, one ticket to Boston please eight.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
O'clock, the last one for the day. Look at you
missed it.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Oh, trust me, the powers that be did not want.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Me to comes out to dollars and twenty seven cents.
We'll not be cash your credit cash.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
It's okay, I'm there. Twenty one second for two and
there we go. Sorry, all right, here you go.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Let you get the Boston moding our platform.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Too, and I still can't seem to get a phone signal.
Is there a phone booth or something around here?
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Unfortunately not, but try over by the fence. That's why,
would take over breaks? Next?
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Great?
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Thank you? Now one the eight o'clock bus to Boston. Now,
bought the eight o'clock bus to Boston.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
All right, come on, one bar? That's it, that's all
I'm asking for. Yes, yes, okay, this is progress. Oh
why why Sarah? Why did you ask for this?
Speaker 15 (14:49):
You have thirteen no voice messages plus one here. No,
you've been trying to reach you.
Speaker 17 (15:02):
As Quinn calling again about.
Speaker 18 (15:05):
Your Mount Red Thick delete aye there, calling about your
reason inquiry and our submission guidelines.
Speaker 17 (15:16):
Guarding your NPF package. Unfortunately, we will not be able
to extend the deadline at this time when we play
a high value on efficiency and emission preparation we look
for in your project. Should you get it in on time?
Speaker 9 (15:33):
Great?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Just great?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Sarah?
Speaker 15 (15:36):
Where the hell are you?
Speaker 18 (15:37):
We've been calling you for days now, Sarah, I swear
to God, if you don't pick up this phone right now,
I'm gonna come after you.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Are you dead?
Speaker 18 (15:46):
Were you following up whole because otherwise I swear to you, Sarah, please.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Call me, okay, har that you Well, it's my phone,
so i'd hope.
Speaker 18 (16:03):
So where have you been and why haven't you been
answering my colt? Every single one goes a voicemail.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Well, that would be because the specific region of the
US discovered time travel and has since decided that the
late eighteen hundreds is where we peaked. Why never mind?
Speaker 17 (16:18):
Is is mom?
Speaker 10 (16:19):
Okay?
Speaker 15 (16:20):
Now you want to know?
Speaker 18 (16:22):
Really, she fell going up the stairs, didn't even make
it off the ground, thankfully nothing broke.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
So then why'd you say she was admitted?
Speaker 17 (16:32):
What?
Speaker 7 (16:32):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 15 (16:33):
That wasn't about Mom.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah you did. You said something something intensive care and
that she was admitted to the hospital.
Speaker 15 (16:40):
No, that's not that's not why we were there. Listen,
when are you coming back?
Speaker 18 (16:47):
Dana's out in the field asking when I'm going to
come see her, and I can't keep selling on my wife.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
You need to help with mom.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
But you're better with her.
Speaker 18 (16:56):
Of course, I'm better with her. That's what happens when
you practice something you obvious would know. Since you're all gallivanting,
you know where?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Okay, First, of all props on the vocab. Didn't expect
that from you. And secondly, you know the town where
a girl got chopped up? Well, guess where I am.
Speaker 15 (17:11):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
What am I talking about? I'm talking about the murder
and disappearance in small town New Hampshire.
Speaker 14 (17:18):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I'm sure it's all over the news by now. So yeah,
I've been a little busy being interrogated. Sorry, are you
making this uck?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
What?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
No?
Speaker 15 (17:29):
And what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Sarah?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
A girl was found murdered here, or parts of her were,
at least, and then some guy straight up disappeared from
his work. Are you really telling me you haven't heard
about this?
Speaker 18 (17:42):
No, Sarah, I haven't heard, and I have been watching
the news because that's what you do when your little
sister doesn't answer the vote for two days. I thought
something might have happened to you.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
It was not two days, got it? Well I'm fine?
Speaker 15 (17:58):
Oh yeah, you're coming home?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Are you sure you haven't heard about this? Something like
I don't know the Danville deadening.
Speaker 18 (18:07):
The next door suburbia would be imploding. So no, no
breaking news here.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Ship that's my buss. I gotta go aware.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
Platform two.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
Sorry, like I said, the library still close. Hey, you're
really gonna have to come back another Oh you're back,
miss me much?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
What happened to you?
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Oh this?
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Well, since there are no buses destination Danville, I had
to with the trucker who wouldn't shut up about fishing line,
And since the route only went as far as Woodstone Creek,
I had to splash through a field for the last
two miles here, Hence the mud and the dirt and
the grass where no grass should ever grass.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
Okay, let me make sure I'm getting this right. You're
not only hitchhike with a complete stranger, but also walk
two miles alone in the dark while there's a murderer
on the loose.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
In hindsight, I should be dead.
Speaker 10 (19:26):
What do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
It was a lady trucker.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Women have just as much right to be murderers as
men do.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Oh shut up, so, mister lead tenant. I know it's
no high rise, but maybe you've got an extra room.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
You're here for business or pleasure?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Who says it can't be both?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
H m hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Grassiers, do you see the Grassiers, hell, please.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Scientific nobody. We're gonna trusted right now. I seem like
theater accommodations. When start from stress of friends.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
You hear me, Ma, I'm hurt, and I think, don't
think I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I see coming as I just give myself friend.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
I'm sorry, Ma, Luten, I think well, I'm consumed.

Nah?

If I did, then I'd probably need to rethink my profession,

J Just Sarah's fine, right, Well, let's.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
See, Sarah Simmons. You graduated mid top of your class
at Northeastern. Both parents are school teachers, so I imagine
you'll be paying that off for a while, held a
couple of odd assistant jobs after UNI, but for months
now unemployed.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I'm sorry you have a file on me.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
It's not hard when you lay out your entire life
for the whole online world to see.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Wait, you get internet.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
You're a person of interest in a possible murder, and
that's your question. If I get Internet?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Well, how close from passable to confirmed?
Speaker 8 (03:41):
Close enough that I wouldn't be so unconcerned if I
were you.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I know I didn't do anything, so I've got nothing

Speaker 8 (03:48):
So it's pure luck that you turn up in Danville
just as the town sees its first real crime in decades.

Yes I remember, but you don't believe me. I don't
believe in coincidences, so much so in fact, that I've
built my career in dismantling them.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Must be quite a record. Then if you ended up
here in Danville, a town which, how did you put it,
hasn't seen a real crime in decades, that's a.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Fine line you're walking. Miss Simmons, Best be careful not
to fall.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Hasn't seen a real crime. You haven't seen a real crime,
hasn't seen a real crime decade.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
I don't believe in coincidence.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I don't believe in analog, not without its quirks. We're
busy in here, Oldbert, just want to.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Let you know that we finally identified the remains.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Wait here, Okay. Sophie sheriff, who by the way, is
not vibing with me at all, just stepped out after
her Sideka came in looking like a spooked walrus, saying
they identified the body. Now they're out there talking, arguing,
hold on, I'm gonna get a better view. Okay, I
(05:05):
can't hear what they're saying, but she doesn't look happy.
He's explaining. She's not having it. He's shaking his head,
and they keep repeating something not Alfonso, either that or
how potato. I don't really wish i'd taking that lip
reading classic crap. Now they're pointing at me and she's
turned shit. Well, miss Simmons, Sarah, you are free to go.
(05:28):
How come h excuse me? A moment ago you were
a hair's breath away from accusing me of murder. But
now I just pick up and go.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
That's right, you're no longer of interest to this investigation.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Which means I have an alibi. So then the murder
must have happened before I got to town, or better yet,
while I.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Was with Jack.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
That's quite the deduction. It makes sense if the body
you found wasn't someone else's body is putting it generously,
So who is it?
Speaker 9 (05:54):
A local?
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Aaron McDonald?
Speaker 8 (05:58):
And like you said, your alibi is saw So I
recommend leaving before the frenzy arrives. The last thing this
town needs is another gossip with a mic. And if
I don't, then you'll see that a tape recorder is
not my only old Habit won't be the first time
I deal with unwanted attention. It certainly won't be the last.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Right, got it? You never answered my question?
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Which one?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
If you get internet, no, we get facts.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Oh my gosh, you're out.
Speaker 11 (06:40):
I tried asking Albert what was taking this long? But
the man, somehow, for the first time in his life,
decided to take a.
Speaker 12 (06:45):
Vow of silence and then then made me wait outside
because I was quote unquote disturbing police protocol, which I
don't think is even a real thing.
Speaker 11 (06:57):
And then I heard the news about Erin and he
wouldn't tell me if you needed a lawyer.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Whoa whoa, whoa hold on? Did you think I was
getting arrested?
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:05):
No, yesterday I thought I lived in a safe town.
And now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh, ye have little faith. I'm fine and I don't
need a lawyer, though I am fascinated to know what
ace defense attorney you'd call on if I did or
did I miss a firm on my way in.
Speaker 11 (07:22):
Yeah, you're right, you probably wouldn't be any good or
she Really, you're making a case for gender equality in
a hypothetically shitty lawyer.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Women have just as much a right to mediocrity as
men do.
Speaker 10 (07:35):
I'm gonna stop now because this feels like a trap.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
So so what now?
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Well the sheriff said, I'm free to go all clear.
Speaker 10 (07:46):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, no it is.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I guess I just started to like it here in Danville.
Oh gruesome death notwithstanding.
Speaker 10 (07:56):
Of course, Yeah, yeah, of course, So you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Go go that's the plan. I mean, this whole murder thing,
it's it's not really my beat.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
You know, can't force put us in there exactly.
Speaker 11 (08:12):
Well, the Tunnell messie.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Somehow I doubt that part of it.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
Well, so this is it.
Speaker 11 (08:22):
Thus the greatest adventure known to man and woman comes
to a close.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
One final hurrah. Come on, that was weak.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'll work on it.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Well, oh yeah, bring it in. We're doing Yeah, see
you not not it is? How hard is it to
just hug?
Speaker 7 (08:49):
But no?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
You just had to make it weird?
Speaker 13 (08:50):
Why Sarah?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Why? Okay? Let's see, I think everything. No Christmas sweater?
I know I put it here somewhere, I think think
where was it?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Sorry, I didn't think there was anyone in here?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's fine.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
I didn't mean to.
Speaker 13 (09:10):
Are you okay?
Speaker 9 (09:12):
It's nothing?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Hate to be that person, but doesn't look like nothing.
You sure you're okay?
Speaker 9 (09:19):
What do you care?
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Well, I'm a human being with empathy. It's kind of hardwired.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Aren't you leaving or something?
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Listen, kid, you're young. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll pass.
Just give it some time.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Oh really? So how long I gotta wait for someone
to come back to life?
Speaker 14 (09:40):
A year?
Speaker 9 (09:41):
Maybe two?
Speaker 15 (09:42):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Yeah, didn't think so, did you know?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Aaron?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
No?
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Now I'm fucking crying for a stranger. What do you think?
Speaker 14 (09:52):
Right?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Dumb question?
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Sorry, you're just like them, you know, like who my
parents this town. They all think they know better because
they're older like us, kids are just stupid.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I'm sure that's not.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
We hear things, you know, when they whisper or when
they think they're alone.
Speaker 14 (10:14):
What do you hear?
Speaker 9 (10:16):
They say? The secrets are for our own good? But
I know they're lying, and Aaron knew it too. But
now she's gone and they still won't say the truth.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Avery, what do you hear?
Speaker 9 (10:34):
You don't want to know?
Speaker 13 (10:35):
Avery, stop bothering our guest. Oh sorry, dear, did I
startle you?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Oh no, no, that's not I just didn't hear you
come in, and he's not bothering me.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
I mean, Avery, come on, I told you to get dressed.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Your suit's been laid out.
Speaker 13 (10:50):
On your bed all morning.
Speaker 9 (10:52):
Yeah, whatever, Sorry about that.
Speaker 13 (10:56):
He's been taking all this pretty hard.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
He was friends with Aaron, right, friends falls a bit short.
Speaker 13 (11:05):
He never told us, but Jack and I saw how
they were together ever since they were little. And Ah,
now that poor girl. I can't imagine what her parents
are going through right now.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
It must be unbearable.
Speaker 13 (11:21):
Well, we're seeing them later today. Don't know how much
help a cast role will be, but I hope a
friendly face does better.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Did you know the McDonald's will know them?
Speaker 13 (11:33):
We grew up together right here in this very town.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Oh wow, that's a really long time. I mean, wasn't
referring to your age or anything, and I should probably
shut up, untaken. I just meant, I don't think there's
anyone in my life that I've known for longer than
a couple of years. Only family.
Speaker 16 (11:52):
I suppose that's what happens when you joined the great
big world out there. Everything's so bright and flashy, but
it's also fast and fast to move on. That's why
we value what we have here, even if others don't.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Right, you got all your things almost just missing one sweater.
I know I brought it with me, so it has
to be run here somewhere.
Speaker 13 (12:16):
You mean this one?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Ah found it? Do you think it'll be much longer
for my car?
Speaker 14 (12:23):
Buster says the parts are delayed. Oh so how do
I There's a bus leaving for Boston at eight.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
I can drive you to the station, but I can't
just leave my car here.
Speaker 14 (12:36):
Yeah, you'll have to. I spoke to Sheriff Allen. She
wants you on your way tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah, she made that pretty obvious.
Speaker 14 (12:44):
Here I'll take that.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Oh no, no, no, you don't have to. It's oh okay, goodbye, Sarah.
It was great meeting you. Yeah. Likewise, Hey, I'm sorry,
could you so don't want to be late. I'm really
not in that big hurry.
Speaker 14 (13:05):
Well you should be. Look, I'm sure you're aware of
Miss Simmons. This town's going through something horrible right now,
and we need to focus on our own, which means
the last thing we need is an outsider with prying eyes.
Sheriff Allen understands that, and I hope you do as well.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Seems like I went from Sarah to Miss Simmons real quick.
You're the one who invited me.
Speaker 14 (13:29):
That was before, and now I'm saying you should go
here after you.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Last call for the seven fifty okay.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Hi, one ticket to Boston please eight.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
O'clock, the last one for the day. Look at you
missed it.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Oh, trust me, the powers that be did not want.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Me to comes out to dollars and twenty seven cents.
We'll not be cash your credit cash.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
It's okay, I'm there. Twenty one second for two and
there we go. Sorry, all right, here you go.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Let you get the Boston moding our platform.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Too, and I still can't seem to get a phone signal.
Is there a phone booth or something around here?
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Unfortunately not, but try over by the fence. That's why,
would take over breaks? Next?
Speaker 6 (14:26):
Great?
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Thank you? Now one the eight o'clock bus to Boston. Now,
bought the eight o'clock bus to Boston.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
All right, come on, one bar? That's it, that's all
I'm asking for. Yes, yes, okay, this is progress. Oh
why why Sarah? Why did you ask for this?
Speaker 15 (14:49):
You have thirteen no voice messages plus one here. No,
you've been trying to reach you.
Speaker 17 (15:02):
As Quinn calling again about.
Speaker 18 (15:05):
Your Mount Red Thick delete aye there, calling about your
reason inquiry and our submission guidelines.
Speaker 17 (15:16):
Guarding your NPF package. Unfortunately, we will not be able
to extend the deadline at this time when we play
a high value on efficiency and emission preparation we look
for in your project. Should you get it in on time?
Speaker 9 (15:33):
Great?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Just great?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Sarah?
Speaker 15 (15:36):
Where the hell are you?
Speaker 18 (15:37):
We've been calling you for days now, Sarah, I swear
to God, if you don't pick up this phone right now,
I'm gonna come after you.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Are you dead?
Speaker 18 (15:46):
Were you following up whole because otherwise I swear to you, Sarah, please.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Call me, okay, har that you Well, it's my phone,
so i'd hope.
Speaker 18 (16:03):
So where have you been and why haven't you been
answering my colt? Every single one goes a voicemail.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Well, that would be because the specific region of the
US discovered time travel and has since decided that the
late eighteen hundreds is where we peaked. Why never mind?
Speaker 17 (16:18):
Is is mom?
Speaker 10 (16:19):
Okay?
Speaker 15 (16:20):
Now you want to know?
Speaker 18 (16:22):
Really, she fell going up the stairs, didn't even make
it off the ground, thankfully nothing broke.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
So then why'd you say she was admitted?
Speaker 17 (16:32):
What?
Speaker 7 (16:32):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 15 (16:33):
That wasn't about Mom.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah you did. You said something something intensive care and
that she was admitted to the hospital.
Speaker 15 (16:40):
No, that's not that's not why we were there. Listen,
when are you coming back?
Speaker 18 (16:47):
Dana's out in the field asking when I'm going to
come see her, and I can't keep selling on my wife.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
You need to help with mom.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
But you're better with her.
Speaker 18 (16:56):
Of course, I'm better with her. That's what happens when
you practice something you obvious would know. Since you're all gallivanting,
you know where?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Okay, First, of all props on the vocab. Didn't expect
that from you. And secondly, you know the town where
a girl got chopped up? Well, guess where I am.
Speaker 15 (17:11):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
What am I talking about? I'm talking about the murder
and disappearance in small town New Hampshire.
Speaker 14 (17:18):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I'm sure it's all over the news by now. So yeah,
I've been a little busy being interrogated. Sorry, are you
making this uck?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
What?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
No?
Speaker 15 (17:29):
And what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Sarah?
Speaker 6 (17:32):
A girl was found murdered here, or parts of her were,
at least, and then some guy straight up disappeared from
his work. Are you really telling me you haven't heard
about this?
Speaker 18 (17:42):
No, Sarah, I haven't heard, and I have been watching
the news because that's what you do when your little
sister doesn't answer the vote for two days. I thought
something might have happened to you.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
It was not two days, got it? Well I'm fine?
Speaker 15 (17:58):
Oh yeah, you're coming home?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Are you sure you haven't heard about this? Something like
I don't know the Danville deadening.
Speaker 18 (18:07):
The next door suburbia would be imploding. So no, no
breaking news here.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Ship that's my buss. I gotta go aware.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
Platform two.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
Sorry, like I said, the library still close. Hey, you're
really gonna have to come back another Oh you're back,
miss me much?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
What happened to you?
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Oh this?
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Well, since there are no buses destination Danville, I had
to with the trucker who wouldn't shut up about fishing line,
And since the route only went as far as Woodstone Creek,
I had to splash through a field for the last
two miles here, Hence the mud and the dirt and
the grass where no grass should ever grass.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
Okay, let me make sure I'm getting this right. You're
not only hitchhike with a complete stranger, but also walk
two miles alone in the dark while there's a murderer
on the loose.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
In hindsight, I should be dead.
Speaker 10 (19:26):
What do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
It was a lady trucker.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Women have just as much right to be murderers as
men do.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Oh shut up, so, mister lead tenant. I know it's
no high rise, but maybe you've got an extra room.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
You're here for business or pleasure?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Who says it can't be both?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
H m hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm mm hmmm.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Grassiers, do you see the Grassiers, hell, please.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Scientific nobody. We're gonna trusted right now. I seem like
theater accommodations. When start from stress of friends.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
You hear me, Ma, I'm hurt, and I think, don't
think I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I see coming as I just give myself friend.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
I'm sorry, Ma, Luten, I think well, I'm consumed.
