Speaker 1 (00:00):
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, lethal listeners,
your favorite team detective tig torres here after tracking down
the lip killer and clearing my aunt's name. I bet

(00:21):
you thought you'd heard the last of my podcast, Lethal 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 into the murder of

(00:41):
crows Polo 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 calendars for the book's release state September one. Then,

(01:03):
the lit 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, is going to

(01:25):
be lethal, Iron Horns, Epic Productions, and I Heart Radio
present Daughters of d C. So remember how we were
going to save democracy with a pitch perfect plan we
came up within a single night. Well that didn't happen

(01:45):
when the rubber metha road the car went off a
cliff and exploded. We've got Celia running from Capitol police,
Natalie and George getting detained by those same police while
trying to create a diversion for Celia and Cole about
to start a fist fight with Tanner when he's supposed
to be setting up the projector. And best of all,
remember the flash drive with a video of Supreme Court

(02:06):
nominee Crawford read murdering his predecessor completely smashed. So, yeah,
not what we had planned. Good thing. Natalie believes improvisation
is the truest form of theater because that's exactly what
we're gonna have to do. Fingers crossed. It's no secret

(02:30):
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. I'm James,
I'm Peyton, I'm Celia I'm Natalie and we're the Daughters
of DC. Mom. Are you there? The hearing just started?

(02:56):
Are we doing this or not? Hold on, there's been
a minor change of plans. I'm conferencing the rest of
the team and again, yes, we're doing this. We're gonna
jam the feeds are okay, give me the signal and
I'll fire up the projector. I can't wait to see
everyone's faces when they realize what this monster has done.
One second, Mom, can you do that? Adrian? Jam the

(03:17):
feed directly? But you can? I have no idea how
to do that? What was dorm alloyed? I mean, if
we can get someone to and then yeah, if Alat
goes right, then yeah it could work. Well let's do
it then, Okay, team, listen up. We're doing this old school.

(03:38):
We're jamming the feeds directly. I have no idea what
you're saying. But I'm stuck outside the capital and can't
get in again. That totally works. Stay outside, Celia, we're
coming to you. Done. There are a bunch of press
fans parked outside the Capitol and we'll need to get
you in them. Um, does anyone have any ideas on
how to create a diversion. I can do that. Okay, great,

(04:02):
and we still need someone to cut the lights, Natalie,
where are you? George and I are sucking protester jail? Fine,
Georgia saying it's not really a jail. It's a room
off Emancipation Hall where they keep troublemakers. But still, this
is al awful detention. You've got to get out of there. Trying, Babe,
I'm on it. Mom. Do you really say I'm the

(04:22):
speaker of the House for a reason. I can handle this? Yeah, Angela, Okay,
then where's coal? Yeah? About that? I know what you're doing.
You want me to throw the first point so it
makes a big scene and gets my mom in hot water.
But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to

(04:44):
be the bigger man, bigger man, stuck with my sloppy
seconds you have to do, don't you know? We all
see what you really are, just a little boy who
wants his daddy's approval. At least I got it dad.
What did you say, don't listen to? How did you
say to me? What you gonna do? Son? What? I

(05:10):
feel sorry for you? Man? I really do you got
so much anger in you? Why? What's it for I'm
not throwing the first punch. I am the bigger man.
Doesn't waste of time anyway. In an hour, my dad
will be a justice of the Supreme Court that positions
for life, son for life. Get out of my weight, losers.

(05:37):
Are you okay? Come on, We've got work to do.
You go finished setting up that projector where are you going?
I've got to go help Celia. Come here first for luck?
Whoa warn't a guy before you kiss him? Dang, Peyton Blackburn,

(05:58):
I want to make a public statement. Excellent? Are you
doing another me to hear outside the Capitol while Judge
Read testifies. You'll have to point that camera at me
to find out, Carl, get the camera from the back
of the van. This is fantastic. That's right, you're already
on all of you can come out of your vans.
I have something to say. Okay on me in five

(06:24):
four three, Miss Blackburn? Why are you here today outside
Judge Reads hearing? What do you hope to gain from
such a blatantly political move? Our constitution says the Senate
must advise and consent on presidential appointments to the Court,
and quite frankly, I do not believe they should consent. M. James,

(06:49):
I'm in the press van. Now Peyton's pulling off the diversion.
Why do you need me to do? Okay, I'm kind
of making this up on the fly, but I think
it will work. Send Adrian the I P numbers for
each fan's and may computer. He'll get you the password
and then feed you the code I wrote to jam
their feed. We'll need to do this on every press band.
When you're all set up, just say go and i'll launch. Good. Um,

(07:11):
I'm not exactly sure what you just said. All right,
let me thing for a second. I'll look you through it. Okay.
Is there a computer in front of you? Yes? Okay,
go to the icon marked operating system the President established
in the Chinese exclusion. Hell no, we woke up. Hell no,

(07:36):
we woke up. Now we're locked up. We can't go right.
Hell no, we must go. Hell no, we must go.
I am begging you too it to be quiet. Hello, officer,
I believe there's been a little mix up. Madam speak
of this young woman here is Congressman Rosenberg's daughter. Yeah, dude,

(07:58):
I'm afraid it's no mix up, ma'am. You and a
friend here were being disruptive during the Senate here. Yes,
she can be a little rowdy, which is why I'd
like to escort her back to my chamber the House.
That way, she won't disturb things any further. Well, I am,
is there a problem, Officer, No, ma'am, of course not.
Whatever you say, thank you, I'll be sure to put

(08:19):
in a good word with your superior, Captain Carver. And
just between you and me, my good word is the
reason he's Captain Carver. Yes, ma'am. Come along, kids, Dang Angela,
did you really get Captain Carver his job? There is
no Captain Carver, but he doesn't need to know that.
Chane of command goes pretty high around here. Whoa very

(08:42):
impressive acting skills, Mrs James, Mom politics is acting? Natalie.
All right, Team, Adrian and I are in place. Give
me some good news. You're badass. Mom's heading into the
hearing now. George and I are back in position it projectors. Ready.
I think I'm doing this computer thing right. Just give

(09:03):
me another minute. Yes, Adrian, is there any cool electronic
music in this old buckets? I think I have exactly
what you're looking Okay, wow, Once we get to go ahead,
from Celia. We have the chance to do an actual
nationwide broadcast signal intrusion from a van outside the Capitol.
That's wild forming on, it's making it. We've only got

(09:26):
a few seconds after she says go before someone notices
we've jammed the feeds and we routed to our pirates station.
So we have to make this count. Okay, I think
I did the IP thing you said. Here goes nothing, James,
we don't have time. What is it? The signal, it's
already jammed. Someone's beat us to it. I can't get through.
It's like they're rerouting our rewrote last man, I'm warned

(09:49):
you I'd be back. Are you kidding? James? Are we ready?
It's now or never? Hey? D O DC fan stay
tuned more Daughters of d C is up next, But
first a quick word from our sponsor. What's up? Daughters

(10:10):
of DC fans head to Daughters of DC dot com
to get exclusive do you DC news updates and content
before everybody else. D Locksmith backhacked us. He's trying to
divert the signal to his own pirates station. We can't
let him, James, Are we ready? No? Mom, I need
one more minute why would he who knows, but we

(10:32):
can't let him. I'm giving you the courtesy of ten
seconds to yield and retreat. Maybe, Acker, you have no
army of associates to beck your play this time. I,
on the other hand, always come with reinforcements. He's sitting
so much data at us. It's like trying to fight
your way to a sunami. That's it, Adriana. He wants

(10:53):
us to think we need an army. He wants us
to face off against the tsunami. And what we really
need to do is ride the way, to say, write
his data stream all the way to his pirate station,
because we'll be writing on a trojan that's carrying our video.
Once it's released, you won't be able to stop playing it.
He'll be broadcasting with for us. Come on, Mom, Natalie,
get ready to light it up. Ready, I've been ready,

(11:17):
Wait for it, Wait for it. I tried to protect you,
young James Parker, but now you've gotten yourself into deep
and the consequence. Bro, God, you looked you in the scenery, Mom,
Natalie pulled from my mark. Now, if I'm a one
more question, judge read what do you think of the

(11:39):
nineteen seventy two Firm and Vijordia decision, citing the death
penalty is violating the Eighth Amendments Cruel and Unusual Punishment clause. Well,
I think there's a reason it was overturned four years later. Now,
lights out, read we need a strong death penalty as deterrent.
What's happening? Is what's going on in here? Y'all hazing me? Projector?

(12:05):
Is it gol? Hello? What is this? It's some kind
of video that you want to be tall drama intention
if you right now? This is this is a private
security breach, breaking news from Capitol Hill. Still, what the

(12:25):
hell was that? Am I still alive? What do you mean?
Someone's taking over the feet? How was that possible? Still?
This what's supposed to go? And night? I'm me reel
if that's all you wanted to say, and going to
turn into the night, good night profile. What do you? Good? One? Justice?

(12:57):
Oh now, now, calm down. I didn't that's not me, Crawford,
you killed him. I don't know what that was. This
is a fake video. Come on, fuck you believe me. Crawford, sir,
You're gonna have to come with us, please out now,
just wait one minute I have a guaranteed majority us. Now, sir,
I won't be asking you a second time. Get don't

(13:18):
hands off. This sink is mine. You hear me, I
earned it. You can't arrest me. I'm un touchable. Come untouchable. No, No,
it's mad, Natalie, Mom, what's happening? Um? I think we

(13:40):
just took down Judge Reid James? Did you hear me? James?
You did it? I did you did it? I did it?
You did it. Shocking news here at the Capitol where

(14:07):
Supreme Court nominee Crawford Read caught on tape smothering Justice
Edward Ramirez with a pillow. And and now word word
is coming in. The judge is officially under arrest. Gruesome, chilling,
absolutely bone tingling. This will haunt the halls of the
Senate for years to come. A stunning revelation of events

(14:31):
leading up to the arrest of a Supreme Court nominee.
If you had told me at the beginning of the
school year that my friends and I would successfully break
into a Senate hearing and get a judge arrested for murder,
I'd say, wait, I have friends, but a lot can

(14:55):
happen in a few months I guess I've learned that
you can let people so prize you, you can even
surprise yourself. Hey James, Yo, James, what's up? Of course,
we all got in trouble with the FCC for hacking
the broadcast, but it wasn't nearly as much trouble as
Judge Reid got into for you know, murdering Justice Ramirez

(15:19):
and attempting to hijack our democracy. That we got off
pretty easy, all things considered, And now that a few
months have passed, things are finally starting to settle down
and return to normal, well a better normal. Hey James,
I can't talk now. Studying not only surprised us all

(15:40):
by taking your S A T S again. Choose the
analogy that best matches the example provided. Maceration is to liquid,
as a sublimation is to gas. B evaporation is to humidity.
See trailers to path Why would I choose any of these?
Mut that she has suddenly developed a burning desire to

(16:02):
go to college. She just wanted to keep things fair,
all right. Let's have a look here. M hmm. Not
a great score, but an honest effort. I'm proud of you, Natalie.
Thank you, Congressman come on, what do you gotta start
calling me dad again? Still going to be a while.

(16:26):
Peyton's kind of gone high profile. She and Valentina are
spokespeople for an outreach program teaching preteen girls how to
assert their voices. The whole world will be telling you
to be nice and avoid making waves. But your voice
is just as meaningful as anybody else's and just as powerful.

(16:49):
That's right, And to my eternal disgust, she and Cole
are still a thing. Gross. They even went to win
or formal together, which made our families closer. Maybe too close? Alright,
you too, love birds leaning close now, but but but
not too close. Let the lord in, Daddy, You got it,

(17:11):
Mr Blackbird. They make a beautiful couple, don't they? Speaker,
They really do. And you can call me Angie, you know, Angie.
After what went down at the read here and Buck's
got a lot of cloud, we're wearing a whole bunch
of options for our next move, and I do believe
you might want to hear them. I'm listening. Well, we've

(17:36):
been adjusting to this super weird but also kind of
cool new normal. Celia's had it way harder. Ms Lou,
I'm afraid this isn't getting through to you. Your parents
are gone. I get it, fine, whatever they vanished all
the time. What else is new? No, your mother left

(17:59):
this note for you. I don't know where they are,
miss Lu, but I'm under explicit instructions not to leave
your side until I hear from them again. It's no
big deal, William. Now, if you'll excuse me, Mackenzie and
I are busy back here. She's been playing the whole
thing off like it doesn't bother her the way she
always does. But I know she's just acting straw. Are

(18:23):
you sure you're okay, babe? I'm fine, Mac, totally fine.
You're gonna try to find them? Are you going to
I'm already on it. Tanner left you put shortly after
his father was arrested. He shut down his Instagram account
and disappeared. No one's heard from him since. And you're

(18:47):
probably wondering about our heroes, Store Malloy and Onyx Rader. Well,
they tried their romance thing for a while, but it
didn't really work out. The encryption tables configured it should be.
I really don't see that as likely, but I guess
we'll just have to push it to the limit and
see who's right. Hey, good black here, but I'm not

(19:10):
to convince you what I'm right. They both agreed that
a working relationship was more their speed. Put me and
Adrian on the other hand, Hey, I have lacrosse practice,
but I'll pick you up after so we can have
that hang out. We talked about maybe having some day

(19:32):
because that day is now. It sounds like a plan. Cool. Cool,
I gotta go, I'll see you later. Very cool. And

(19:53):
as for the Daughters of d C, well, let's just
say we've been enshrined forever someplace I really care about,
but I'm not going to tell you where it is. Yeah,
that's just like that, dude, right, stop like that. It

(20:14):
is an honor and a privilege to welcome the Daughters
of DC as official members of the votes. May we
do great things together? Yeah yeah, quite right, quite right?
And and and a special acknowledgement has to go out
to storm alloy. Go you want the head of a

(20:37):
hacker and let me legend start. You're like homecoming queen here. Yeah,
except this doesn't glorify the monarchy, and it's infinitely less sexist.
I am super glad we all get to dance together again,

(20:59):
even if it is a nerveest. You know what? This
is just like our all night or in eighth grade. Yes,
when we all snuck out because we heard Janelle Monte
was holding the pop up concert and Celia wanted to
audition to being her backup dancer. And it led to
the killer Wait who said that you? How did you

(21:26):
get in here? How do you even know about d ODC?
Who's this random? This is a private combo? Wait? Is
that flock? Smith? You think you've won daughters, but you've
only made yourselves, your friends, your families, everyone in your
lives a target. Wrong, dude, We took Judge read down.
You madin it in the news. Judge Reid was merely

(21:52):
the tip of a very big iceberg. Why do you
think Reid was willing to commit murder? Who guaranteed him
in the nomination? Who is he too afraid to say
no to? The stakeholders? Have a lot worse in store?
Who We're not scared of you anymore, Locksmith, You're powerless.

(22:13):
Such a fine line between bravery and foolishness. James, just
like your father, you don't know anything about my father.
Perhaps I'm the only one who truly knows what happened
to him. What no, no, I know exactly what happened
to him. He was killed in an embassy bomby saving

(22:34):
dozens of lives. He he was a hero. That's the story.
But the story of justice ramirez Is death was a
heart attack? How do that? Whilst I don't believe you,
believe what you want, but I know everything, James Harker,

(22:55):
and I know that in order to keep your families
and our country safe, in order to learn the truth
about your father, you're going to have to work with me.
