Hey, listeners, It's James Parker. Can you keep a secret?
The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next,
But first a quick word from our sponsor, Hey, Leath
the listeners, Your favorite team detective tig torres here after
tracking down the lip killer and clearing my aunt's name.
(00:21):
I bet you thought you'd heard the last of my podcast,
leathal Lit, but I'm back and Fall is going to
be positively deadly. First, Max Winn and I are teaming
up for an all new mystery in our first original
novel coming to you from Scholastic. This time we dig
(00:41):
into the murder of crows Pollo Falls Secretive Armchair Detective Club.
Their interest in the town's dark past isn't purely academic,
and some of their members would kill to keep its
secrets buried. Keep your ears peeled from more info next year,
and mark your landers for the book's release date September one. Then,
(01:05):
the lip Killer saga continues in season two of the
Lethal Lit podcast, Friends new and Old returned to Hollow
Falls for the grand reopening of the Montague Hotel, but
the guests are in for a route awakening when the
bodies begin to drop. Stay tuned listeners. Fall is going
(01:26):
to be lethal Iron Horn's epic productions and I heard
Radio present Daughters of DC. Everyone, I'd like to thank
you all for being here tonight, for all of your
(01:49):
generous support over the years. I know our friendships will
only grow stronger after tomorrow's hearing, and believe me when
us say I will be remembering your loyalty when I'm
on the bench. Now, please drink and enjoy yourselves, because
(02:10):
after tomorrow, we've got some real work to do. It's
no secret that in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere.
You could say it's gone viral. That's why my friends
and I decided to take on the system from the inside.
(02:31):
I'm James, I'm Peyton, I'm Celia, I'm Natalie, and we're
the Daughters of DC. Okay, what is this place and
where has it been on my life? These are the
vaults with the sharp attack of minds of the creative
Metropolitan DC Area congregates game Code and yet Escape also storm.
(02:56):
We only use code names to be end. Your mom
probably needs too, right, Sorry, honest um, mom, what do
you want your code name to be? Now? Hold on,
aren't you one of my son's lacrosse team. Do your
parents know you're here? Young man? Uh? Mom, just pick
a code name. Fine, My code name is Angie. Oh god,
(03:18):
that's the best you're gonna get. So Storm, what's going on?
Why did locksmith hack your stuff? It's a bit of
a long story. Can we go somewhere more private? Sure,
I'll take you to my spot, But just so you
know we can trust these guys, let's just say we
keep everything as follow me. Well, this is me whoa
(03:43):
sick set up? Yep, it's a quad core processor with
an a m D ten a video card and two
tear bytes solid state drive. And the ps did his
stars of course, vengeance LX. As fascinating as that all sounds,
we have a matter of national importance to a tend
to write, Sorry mom, Angie. So basically, I was hacking
(04:04):
into Reads files to help Peyton out with some Twitter trolls.
Long story, and that's when I asked for your help
with a backdoor pass key dope code. By the way,
on IX, I still can't believe that worked. And after
we got into reads financial records, I noticed the strange
spliced video file. I was able to recover the video
and well, what was it it um? The video showed
(04:29):
Crawford Reads suffocating the late Justice Framirez with a pillow.
What Right after we watched it, the video scrambled and
Locksmith hacked all of my devices. The house went nuts.
We all barely escaped and now we're here. But luckily
I was able to clone the video to my thumb drive.
(04:50):
May I well, wa wait, wait, not that one. This
computer over here is non network, zero Internet connectivities. The
locksmith can't get in right, hold on, that's impossible. It
was right here, I swear. Let me see, Locksmith corrupted
(05:11):
the video file before you cloned it. The file on
here is just a shell. There was no way you
could have copied it to this drive. Damn it. There's guys,
still be a copy in locksmith files. We have to
go get it. He's right, and you're okay with us
hacking Locksmith. Mrs Angie, I've been investigating a group of
(05:32):
shadowy government operatives for some time now. This video is
what you might call the smoking gun. It could quite
literally be the last hope of exposing these people before
they undermine our democracy. If we can get this file back,
we have proof of the corruption. I've long suspected and
please my code name is just Angie. Wow, but how
(05:53):
are we going to pull this hack off? I'm good,
but Locksmith is on a whole other level. Oh, I
can help you out there? Or should I say we
can help you out hey? On X? What's up? Man
Storm Angie? These are the two best hackers anywhere, Firestarter
(06:17):
and Deeming Crush. Please to meet you both. Wait, hold
up Firestarter, as in the fire Starter, didn't you infiltrate
those corporate stock accounts last year? That hacks at like
sixteen crooked finance pros to jail Child's play, you should
say the stuff we're working on now? And demon Crusher,
you're like the o G activist. This is this is
(06:39):
the best moment of my life. The pleasures old mine right, Okay?
On next, fill these two national treasures and on the deeds. Mom,
can we talk for a second. Mom? What happens if
we actually get ahold of this video? Well, I'd say
we should turn it into the FBI. I but we
(07:01):
don't know how high up this goes. We have to
show this video directly to the people. You just leak
it on the internet, Twitter or something. I could, but
then it would just be one video among a hundred
billion others. We have to make it impossible to ignore.
And how do we do that. We hacked Judge Reid's
(07:22):
Senate hearing. We broadcast the video on live television. What
James Renee that's that's that would be legendary. You agree
with me? I mean it might not work, but we
have to try, even when it's hard, even when the
(07:43):
odds are stacked against us. You sound like dad, so
do you? Hey? Sorry to interrupt the we're all set right,
slight change of plans. We're gonna hack Locksmith to get
the video, and then tomorrow we're gonna hack Judge's hearing
to broadcast the video live on national TV. That's twice
(08:05):
as much hacking. I want to do, delightfully odd pol
idea store. Are you sure we can pull this off?
I have no clue, but we have to try. Now,
let's get that video. That's my girl, Okay, follow my lady,
guys and try to keep up. We'll begin with a
standard buffer overflow. Blacksmith will never fall for that, but
(08:28):
that's only in the beginning. We're gonna flood the student
system with so much traffic it'll collapse. Under its some weights.
I'll trust you can take care of the back in storm.
Think you can have a dost tackle this cloud service
hosting all this data? Easy? Easy? Yes? Five down almost
there is the counter spy? Where is something else? Still?
(08:52):
No much for first starter though? Was that a polymorphic virus? Yep?
Told you were working on new stuff M replication of
the pmv Oh, it's a taking a system for me
inside out. Seven firewalls down now now, baby actor, what
(09:17):
are you doing here? Hello? Locksmith? The acquaintances. You don't
know the half of it. What did I tell you
about crossing me? That was before you try to turn
me against my own mother. I didn't turn you against anyone,
baby anchor. You did that all yourself. Now, time to
(09:38):
have some fun, he'll crap. Hey, d O DC fans,

Get a room you two, Storm, We're almost in. I
just have to rewrite his root codes. Enough silly games,
(11:15):
baby hacker. I couldn't agree more locks Smith, Enough with
the silly games. You're making an enormous mistake of James.
One more firewall storn use the pass key, Storm hopelessly inadequate,
baby hacker. Got it now? Yes, we have the video.
(11:35):
I'll bloading it to the drive. Hurry, lock Smith is
invading our network. Doc quick yank that even a cable out?
Well that was a bit of a love. I'm not

my laptop is still smoking and we down three service

is gonna take weeks to fects weeks, but the hearing
(12:18):
is tomorrow. Can you guys still run interference. We'll try
our hardest with what we got Storm. It's okay, James,
we got this, Adriana. I wish I believed you. This
isn't over baby actors. So we weren't doing so hot
(12:40):
back at the vaults and the hearing was less than
twenty four hours away, but we still had hope in
the form of three of d c's the most well
connected teams. Should we pick it up? Yeah, put it
on speaker phone, guys, I need your Thank God, you're okay, James.
(13:03):
We've been stuck at this grubby motel for days. Celia,
it's been like four hours. What's the plan, James, We're
hacking Judge reads hearing. Now that's more like, oh my word,
James Parker, you have officially lost your mind and I
love it. Hey, you're not leaving me out of this,
he told Cole come on, Hey, what he's right? Next?
(13:23):
To me and he wants to help. Al Right, fine,
The plan was simple, really. First we have Natalie, our
wire cutter. She and George would cut the power in
the Senate Chamber, both to interrupt reads evil pontificating and
to set the stage for our very special video. George,
(13:50):
thank you so much for having me as a guest
of the DuPont Viewpoint. Listen, you remember the plan right, yes, now,
We've been over like a thousand times. I'm so sorry
for caring about a planet holds the very feet of
democracy and the balance. Crazy old me. Sorry, Sorry, I know, stupid, George.
With Natalie and George cutting the power, we had to
(14:12):
broadcast the video into the Senate Chamber. Fire Starter gifted
us the world's sickest projector, but we still needed someone
to place it and someone to hit play at just
the right moment. Enter Peyton Cole and my mom. Oh,
do you have it right in my breast pocket? Smile folks,
(14:33):
nothing to see here, uh, Speaker Parker Patricia Withers from
The Blame Game. Who do you have with you? Just
my son and his lovely friend. It's so important that
are you feel involved in the political process. We're about
to witness democracy in action, aren't we kids? Now? If
you excuse us, we should head into the chamber. The
hearing is about to start. Wait a minute, Speaker, isn't
(14:54):
that Peyton Blackburn? Speaker? Um? With Peyton Blackburn in the mix,
we could be in for a truly chaotic hearing. Join
me for this special edition of the Blame Game. You'll
signal me when the projector is in place. That's right, ma'am.
(15:14):
Stay safe and remember if anyone asks you're here as
official guests of the Speaker of the House. I'm going
to beat James to let her know we're in. Copy
that and marm Yes, you're so much cooler than I
give you, creative for for what it's worth and never
doubted you. Speaker Parker, good, go on you too, James.
We're almost set here. Make sure you wait for Natalie
(15:37):
and George's signal, then Peyton and Cole's only then can
you press play? Everything has to be perfect. You have
the remote. When did you become the worry wart and
his family have a little faith? I gotta go, MoMA,
Celia's pinning me. Remind me again why I have to
sneak through a sewer while Peyton and Natalie in their
(15:59):
respective why toys could just waltzen it's not a sewer,
and the other four going into the Senate chamber. They
have official covers. But we need you to get into
the press room completely unseen to plug in the flash drive.
YadA YadA, Yes, I know. Once you plug it in,
Adrian and I should be able to remotely hack every
live news broadcast, covering reads, hearing. You know, no biggie,
(16:20):
but without you, Celia, were useless. We need that flash
drive plugged in for the remote hack. You'll pressure or anything. Thanks, James,
don't worry. It's probably just a rat. It's just a rat.
Haven't you ever used the Capital Subway. We always had
a private limo. There's no reason to use this stool
of the unwashed masses, Celia. Only congressman and lobbyists can
(16:44):
use the Capital Subway. My point exactly how close are
you to the press room? According to my calculations, we
just need to climb here this crank m h and
(17:06):
I'm in in the woman's bathroom. The press room is
just two doors down. Paying me. If you need anything,
I gotta check in with Peyton and her boy Toy
you guys all set up. The hearing starts in five minutes.
Nearly there. We just got into the Senate chamber. Coals
just positions. Well, well, if it isn't two points sweetest
(17:29):
love birds, Oh cheese and us gotta go. James, Wait, hey,
what are you doing? What is that? Tanner? Just leave
us alone. This is the greatest day of my father's career.
I am not about to let you to ruin this
for you. Let's talk outside. You and me like two gentlemen.
All right, I'm gonna kick your ass. Oh lord, what's
(17:51):
that sound? What's going on? Cole and Tanner? I think
they're gonna fight. Jeez, Natalie, please tell me you and
George are all set to cut the power but we
are Wait, I'm getting a thing from Celia. Co Natalie, George,
I need a distruction in the atrium. Now, Natalie, you
two need to stay in the Senate Chamber and cut
the power field. We're on our way. Don't worry, James,
(18:13):
we'll be back into GYP. Got ahead to security. What
do you still up? And tould me what you were
doing in the press room, young lady. I told you, sir.
I'm Margaret tan granddaughter of Gregory tan owner of five
different news networks and six different newspapers. My good friend
and former congressional intern Mackenzie Lee can vouch for me.
(18:33):
I just texted her, see yeah, not buying it. What
the hell is this quite a gadget? Yeah? Give up
back absolutely, young lady, and about pieces. Now. As for you, Hey, Hey,
what are you doing area? Political dissenters? You need to
(18:56):
be quiet? I need the East entrants. Got to go out,
get your hands off the fascist You two are coming
with me. We may not be back into Ji, James?
(19:17):
What what is going on? James? Cole and Tanner are
going at it outside the Senate chamber. What do I do? James?
The hearing starts in two minutes and I haven't gotten
anyone's signal. Everything okay, James, Security remy out of the building.
I gotta weigh things to that, but there's no way
(19:39):
I'm getting back in there. And the flash drivers smashed
for doomed Adrian, hold on, hold on, hold on. So
we can't have the news channels from here, but what
we can bring the hat to them? What are you
(20:01):
talking about? Don't lose hope yet? Storm? Hey, demon question
