The Miniwak Caves is intended for mature audiences. It contains
strong language and depictions of bullying, violence, and sexual assault
that some may find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised. Also,
this is an extremely immersive experience and headphones are recommended.
(00:23):
You're listening to The Maniwak Caves, a production of iHeartRadio,
Blumhouse Television and Psycopia Pictures.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Were there any other injuries of love there were? And
can you describe these wounds?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
There were puncture wounds and cuts.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Was there anything about the pattern of these injuries that
would indicate that type of weapon used?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Insized wounds are caused most obviously by knives, but are
also caused by well, scissors and even blunter instruments like screwdrivers.
These type wounds have certain They're usually slit like, but
when the object is removed or pulled from the flesh,
the skin contracts, leaving a wound that is slightly shorter
(01:11):
than the blade width. Also, the center wound often widens
a bit. Scissors stab wounds with closed scissors leave a
Z shape like the ones found on these victims.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, so scissors like this pair here found in James
Pincher's house would certainly cause such injuries.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Ejection, your honor.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
The expert is here to testify to factual matters.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Questions presented do not presuppose or suggests the answer.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Your honor. We are only asking the expert's opinion.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Here overruled.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Can the prosecution please rephrase the question in your expert opinion?
Could scissors like these found in the home with the
choosed all such injuries?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Yes, August tenth, it's almost midnight. I'm at Denis Place.
I remember going to Solomon Smith's place. I remember getting
out of my car and walking around his house. I
(02:27):
remember strange, dear, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Next thing I know, I'm sitting in a jail cell
duly arrested me for arson, But anyone could tell that
they were just trying to hold me in place while
they figured out all the short of details of how
it happened, how the house burned down. They had nothing
to go on. I called Joe Campbell and she called
the Blanc.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Made veil your stuff. Thanks, you got everything I believe,
so you're freety, go mister Sauce, mister lebloc.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Look, I'm really sorry for all the trouble.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I don't know what happened exactly.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
I was just trying to find out more about what
Solomon Smith.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Yeah, let's not overthink it. There's a lot happening and
emotions are all on high.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
How much was my veil?
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Don't worry about that right now. Pulled a few strings,
I was able to get it considerably reduced. You will
have to come back for an arrangement, okay, But the
important thing is that you're all right. I want you
to get some rest. You and insisted you stay with
her tonight. But between us, I think it would be
best for you not to overstay.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You're welcome.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
We need her calm and collected right now. We don't
need her playing hostess this week. Of course, she's outside.
You ride with her, and I'm gonna meet you all
over there and every group in a bit after I
take care of some court documents. I still need your signature, though,
right I'm afraid we're out of time for any changes.
But this clearly states that your two thousand and seven
testimony was false.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
And Julian.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
They found Tyler Wilson were on Griff Washington's property. Apparently
he had some homemade explosives. We think he was trying
to blow up the entrance to the cave.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Is he he's dead?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
The piece of.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
Dom to you, the true blood, like the suit.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
To leave behind.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
They were about to press charges, but it was Dinah retaliated.
The DNA test proven Deacon was the father of her
own born child. She rebunded with a proof of the
Happy Boy's own guilt if any legal moves were made
against her brother, and so she created a stalemate.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
If her brother was going to.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Jail, so were Bobby Hadley's sons. And if Bobby would
back down, she'd keep the right out of the papers
and no one would ever know about it.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Somebody scream like, hell no, we'll see by Luke.
Speaker 11 (05:49):
When you.
Speaker 12 (05:53):
Totally I'm telling you that's no pluck, not run around
feel get your hand right.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
They can't.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
We'll be held against you in a court of law,
don't mocker.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Dina, I'm so sorry you keep saying that. Jesus, what
the fuck is wrong with you?
Speaker 11 (06:31):
Jesus? Could you believe this?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Say the first time I've been to the shriff station today, Julian.
They also arrested my son last night.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Oh no, Dina, on you're what.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh wait, let me guess you're sorry. He snuck out
again and they caught him smashing windows at Carter High School.
What excellent question. All he said was it wasn't his idea,
said his friends told him to do it.
Speaker 13 (07:01):
Well, that's the fucking thing, Julian.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I don't know who Jimmy's friends are, which is why
I'm so fucking troubled. And also I heard about Tyler.
I know he was your friend. So now I guess
it's my turn to say it. I'm sorry, Julia.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah, well I don't know what to think.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
How about we just be quiet?
Speaker 13 (07:31):
Sure you can't ever escape it, Dina was riding.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
This town is like purgatory for her, most of all
a series of winding pass all leading the dead hands
unbreakable cycles. The poor stay poor, the rich day rich,
the victims stay victimized. She might have made it out
a long time ago, if it hadn't a been for
what happened. I found this yearbook on the table here
(08:11):
in Dena's house, caught her high class of seven.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
We were babies.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
I've forgotten how long my hair was. That finch was
in there, his eyes like that of a child. During
the war, and Tyler with his mullet and shit eating grin,
looking authentically tough. I flipped past his picture before getting
lost in thought, I'm not yet ready to deal with
(08:38):
the idea that he's no longer here. Then I saw
Dina's picture, maybe the last picture taken of her previous self,
last image from across the border and time and space
that separates what she is now from who.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
She could have been. Now.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
She's a single mom with a shit job, working her
ass off to support her delinquente son, Jimmy, no family,
no support in a town that scorns her, all for
the slim hope that she can somehow right all the
wrongs that she herself never committed, Long hours on her feet,
bagging groceries for people who whisper behind her back, just
(09:22):
to pay the rent on a rickety shthole house at
the edge of town, Her child unclaimed by his paternal family, who,
with the stroke of a pen could cast light into
a dim present and give hope to an uncertain future.
Dina was isolated. She and Jimmy were alone, alone in
(09:47):
the world. Why didn't you take Jimmy and leave this place?
Speaker 8 (09:51):
A beast, get the hell out of Potsville for crass sakes.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I guess when you're alone in the world, running away
to some other part of it doesn't really change much.
Speaker 11 (10:06):
Probably a little clutter.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
So oh, seriously, don't worry about it.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Jimmy, Caroline, Hey, miss Fincher, is is everything?
Speaker 11 (10:17):
Okay? Where's Jimmy?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
He's in his room.
Speaker 11 (10:21):
How was a lesson?
Speaker 14 (10:23):
He wouldn't come out. What do you mean he locked
himself in his room and wouldn't let me in either.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
He called me some nasty things, well things, It's okay.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I don't want to talk about it, so there was
no lesson.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
I tried to call you.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I'm sorry, Caroline. I don't know what's gotten into him.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Well, if I may say so, I think it's his friends.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
Friends.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
He keeps talking about them, says they told him to
call me.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
What he called me were other kids over today?
Speaker 14 (10:57):
No, I maybe his high school friends. I don't I
have to go home.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Now, let me just.
Speaker 11 (11:05):
Thirty Okay, it's okay.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Like I said, there was no lesson.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
So that's not your fault, though, please take it.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
I'm sorry, Miss Fincher. I think this is gonna need
to be my last session.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Wait, what what did he say? To you.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
It wasn't that. It's before he went to his room.
Speaker 11 (11:22):
He was.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Inappropriate. He he touched me, groped me.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh my god, Caroline, I don't know what to say.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Sorry, I need to go.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
God damn it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
James Morgan Fincher get out here. Now, you mind brewing
some coffee filters above the coffee maker grounds or in
that jar. Joe and Ed are gonna be here any minute, Jimmy,
I swear to God.
Speaker 15 (11:55):
What the fuck'll comment?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
God?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I tried not to listen in but that's when I
noticed the yearbook on the table.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I picked it up in some truck.
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Did you ever lock the door again?
Speaker 15 (12:06):
I'll take it off the fucking hinges? Now look at me,
brook me in the eye. What what did you do?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Nothing?
Speaker 11 (12:18):
What the hell happened with Caroline?
Speaker 15 (12:20):
Jimmy, what happened?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Said? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Did you touch her?
Speaker 15 (12:28):
They made me do it? Who made you do what?
It tacked me? Had to tell her she was nothing
but a fat breader. I'm sorry what I didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Want to say? Why did you?
Speaker 15 (12:39):
Because I damned me?
Speaker 10 (12:40):
You called me a pussy?
Speaker 15 (12:41):
They said that was gonna hurt my burn?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Who?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Who?
Speaker 16 (12:44):
Jimmy?
Speaker 9 (12:46):
Shots?
Speaker 15 (12:47):
What times are these boys from your school? No, then, boo,
it's none of your damn business. You are mistaken about that?
Who God's from a cane?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Wait?
Speaker 15 (13:00):
What what did you just say? I told you to
never ever ever go there? Have you been going there?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Jimmy?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
No, I didn't go there.
Speaker 15 (13:11):
They're just from there, Jimmy, we are and I've done
with this conversation. You are grounded in definitely.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
No video games, no TV, and don't forget the feet
and start to give the dog as medicine.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Hey, Dina, I'm fine to find another hotel.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Standing here is too much.
Speaker 11 (13:34):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
I saw this lying on the table with you're old
year book.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I figured it was yours or finches.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
No, my, mone come on in hope.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
The driver wasn't too bad for you.
Speaker 14 (13:50):
Ran some weather near Johnson City, But that's to be
expected this time of.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Year, ain't Julian.
Speaker 16 (13:56):
We were worried about.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Who the hell can that?
Speaker 8 (14:01):
We expecting any more surprise guests?
Speaker 11 (14:03):
There know nothing I know of? Can I help you?
Comm well?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Who is it?
Speaker 11 (14:19):
Jesus Christ?
Speaker 17 (14:22):
Bobby Hadley, Hey, folks, this is Bobby Hadley of Hadley
Pontiac Chevrolet.
Speaker 16 (14:41):
And if there's one thing I know, it's the importance
of family. With my dad had Big Bobby first open
Hadley Pontiac Chevrolet. He had one goal in mind to
give you and your family a safe, reliable ride home,
had a fair price. We've carried on that family tradition.
Isn't that right, honey, that's right baby.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
This month we're running a special on these gorgeous family
bands to take your kids to school or to camp
out during summer break.
Speaker 16 (15:07):
Oh you got something to add, Thomas, just as the
prices are out of this world. Good job, son, Hey Diacon,
ain't you got something to say?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Adlee bonniec Chevrolet e't a family.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
I don't know how Bobby had. They couldn't have known
he was raising monsters.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
They're checking, but.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
There's a kind of benign neglect that leads to malignancy.
Being't too soft to parent, leaving children to their own
devices can make them into monsters.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, and not be such a pussy.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I'm just messing with you.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Bobby and Mona were soft parents. Bobby busy with the dealership,
Mona with her wine and the Women's Club of Pottsville.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
The boys did as they pleased, and.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
We all know how that ended.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
At any rate.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
After the Hathley brothers were found murdered at the mouth
of the cave, Bobby Havley went underground for a little
to mourn.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
His whole future wiped away.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Mona dealt with the loss differently. She left a week
after the funeral, took half of their savings with her.
As the story goes, maybe she couldn't stand all the ghosts.
Bobby slowly returned to his business over the course of months,
still made it to church Sundays, still went to the
occasional town hall meeting, but he wasn't the same thinner,
(16:56):
less joe, feel less, brash, just less, a man who
had everything except the thing they counted. I know he
must have known about his grandson, Denis baby Jimmy. Everyone
else in town did. But he couldn't seem to reconcile
the thought of his beloved sons being involved in an
act that would lead to Jimmy's existence. And so he
(17:19):
created a wall in his mind and in his heart.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
A wall of denial, and he kept his distance.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Until Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Bobby Hadley Deputy Campbell.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
It's just miss Campbell.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Now, mister Hadley, can you remember Julian Solace from the
trial alsoome, Oh well I am, and this is James's
defense attorney, mister the blank, you remember my brother, James Fincher.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Let's see here to support our kids.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Uh no, I'm here to talk to miss Fincher Dina
about what about the.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
About the boy, about Jimmy.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Uh yeah, I was connor.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Let me get you some coffee.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Ok, okay, we.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Have sugar bowl.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
We're out of milk.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Oh no, just black, thank you.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Dina went for the coffee and left Bobby standing there,
sweat forming on his brow, his face red, struggling to
Breathe normally staring at the pictures on the wall and
on the mantel, pictures a little Jimmy in his baseball uniform,
Pictures of James Fincher too, from when he was a boy.
I could see the wheel spinning behind his eyes. Maybe
(18:52):
the first time he'd ever considered either of those people,
James Fincher or his grandson Jimmy, as actual human beings.
Nobody said a word until Dina came back with a
mug of coffee.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
Here you go.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
What you got there the box?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Oh, it's just some family stuff for your son, for Jimmy,
in case you in case you want him to know
about the other side of his family, maybe we should
(19:31):
step outside.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
No, you can say, everybody stay. What would you want
him to know about the other side of his family,
mister Hadley.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Well, I just I thought, I thought, why are.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You showing up right now here at my house?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
I just can I put the box down? Go on,
Miss Spencer. I didn't mean to intrude. I mean, I
didn't have your number, but I've been thinking about well,
the past and the future, and I've been thinking about
(20:08):
all that for a very long time now, and well,
I didn't know. I didn't know whether I should ever
try to contact you, or if you'd even well, you'd
even be willing to listen. But now that I'm here,
I'm just look, I'm really sorry about everything about how
my God, about all the things that well, jeez, listen,
(20:34):
I've been praying about it, yes I have. And Reverend
Perkins came to me and suggested that maybe I come
talk to you, and he did it unbidden, and I thought, well,
I just thought, I thought, maybe that's something. Maybe that's
the Lord telling me the Lord. Look, all I'm saying
(20:59):
is is I want to meet him, the boy Jimmy
and and I don't know, just think about it, just
pray on it. Maybe I don't know if you pray anyway,
(21:19):
I guess just consider it and well. In the meantime,
I brought some things about his history about us. Look
them over. Please left my number in an envelope in
the box. I'm gonna leave you all to it.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Jesus Christ, cigarette break anybody. Dina went through the box immediately.
Old pictures going back generations, xerox copies of diaries, birth certificates,
an old copy of the Bible inscribed to Mona Hadley,
a little cross section of history, and then video tapes
(22:02):
three or four Thomas and Deacon's names written in a
neat feminine hand on the label, and an envelope with
Dina's name and a slop ofier hand inside, a slip
of paper with Bobby's sell number on it, and a
check for ten thousand dollars with the memo reading for
the future. We wrapped up the meeting shortly thereafter.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Wanna beer, I don't know whiskey.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Yes, you don't have to watch the tapes, of course
I do.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Why do you think I'm offering you booze.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Huh, you're gonna consider letting them in?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
On one hand, that family always seemed drawn to the core.
On the other, it's an escape plan.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
He could go to college, he could get the fuck
out of here. Yeah, come, old James, think if I
did let him in.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
I feel like you do understand, Dina, I really do.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
Well the courage Dan.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Here.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
The videotapes were just what you'd think old family movies
or with the people you hate most in the world
Thomas and d can plain t ball, cub Scout.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Pine with derbies.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
I watched Dina watch these boys at first with a
cold glare and then an intense sort of curiosity, and
then I fell asleep.
Speaker 17 (23:49):
Okay, okay, now do the people.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Julian wake up?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I'm up.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I'm up, I'm up.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
Hey, hey, hey, you fell asleep in front of the TV.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Well so I did.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Sorry, it's a whiskey.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Why don't you guy splash some water on your face
and I'll finish up dinner.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
A little fucking monstership.
Speaker 17 (24:33):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
You're thinking we were born bad? All right?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
I mean that's out the old man things. He thinks
he made us monsters want the fuck.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Right.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Then the lightning strunk a transformer outside of Tina's house
and the power went out.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Fuck.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
I moved to the window and saw the fog was back,
along with hundreds of screeching bats flapping by the window.
And minute, hey mm, put in the mailbox.
Speaker 13 (25:11):
Oh shit, alright.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
The bottles up.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Except for the TV. That is, the images of young
Thomas and Deacon still flickering across the screen.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I mean that try the best, I guess, but there's
only so much you can do outside influences and all.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I ain't shit.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
My earliest memories are wanting to hurt stuff. I guess
you can turn that out of a kid.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
If you work hard enough.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's called a beautiful Leacon.
Speaker 11 (25:52):
Yeah, Jimmy, you'll okay.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I think a transformer bloo man.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
She seems to be trying her best. But that kid
in the other room.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
He's got in his blood.
Speaker 16 (26:08):
He had no problem calling that fat bitch babysitter of
his What she was, yny.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
What the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (26:16):
That's true?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
True?
Speaker 17 (26:19):
Oh all right, fucking now he's learning anatomy on.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
That little bird. It's too late to stop him. The
boy isn't quite right.
Speaker 16 (26:28):
In the head.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Neither were we there it is.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
He's a trouble now.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
Jny, do you know everything?
Speaker 12 (26:48):
Okay, Duday, you know you all right?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
It was too late for the bird. Apparently Jimmy had
used a paris so and scissors to biseck the poor creature.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
The ghost in a mirror, and the hounds of Hell
Dancing in your.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Dancing in.

You're listening to The Maniwak Caves, a production of iHeartRadio,
Blumhouse Television and Psycopia Pictures.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Were there any other injuries of love there were? And
can you describe these wounds?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
There were puncture wounds and cuts.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Was there anything about the pattern of these injuries that
would indicate that type of weapon used?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Insized wounds are caused most obviously by knives, but are
also caused by well, scissors and even blunter instruments like screwdrivers.
These type wounds have certain They're usually slit like, but
when the object is removed or pulled from the flesh,
the skin contracts, leaving a wound that is slightly shorter
(01:11):
than the blade width. Also, the center wound often widens
a bit. Scissors stab wounds with closed scissors leave a
Z shape like the ones found on these victims.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes, so scissors like this pair here found in James
Pincher's house would certainly cause such injuries.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Ejection, your honor.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
The expert is here to testify to factual matters.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Questions presented do not presuppose or suggests the answer.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Your honor. We are only asking the expert's opinion.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Here overruled.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Can the prosecution please rephrase the question in your expert opinion?
Could scissors like these found in the home with the
choosed all such injuries?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Yes, August tenth, it's almost midnight. I'm at Denis Place.
I remember going to Solomon Smith's place. I remember getting
out of my car and walking around his house. I
(02:27):
remember strange, dear, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Next thing I know, I'm sitting in a jail cell
duly arrested me for arson, But anyone could tell that
they were just trying to hold me in place while
they figured out all the short of details of how
it happened, how the house burned down. They had nothing
to go on. I called Joe Campbell and she called
the Blanc.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Made veil your stuff. Thanks, you got everything I believe,
so you're freety, go mister Sauce, mister lebloc.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Look, I'm really sorry for all the trouble.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I don't know what happened exactly.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
I was just trying to find out more about what
Solomon Smith.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Yeah, let's not overthink it. There's a lot happening and
emotions are all on high.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
How much was my veil?
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Don't worry about that right now. Pulled a few strings,
I was able to get it considerably reduced. You will
have to come back for an arrangement, okay, But the
important thing is that you're all right. I want you
to get some rest. You and insisted you stay with
her tonight. But between us, I think it would be
best for you not to overstay.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You're welcome.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
We need her calm and collected right now. We don't
need her playing hostess this week. Of course, she's outside.
You ride with her, and I'm gonna meet you all
over there and every group in a bit after I
take care of some court documents. I still need your signature, though,
right I'm afraid we're out of time for any changes.
But this clearly states that your two thousand and seven
testimony was false.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
And Julian.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
They found Tyler Wilson were on Griff Washington's property. Apparently
he had some homemade explosives. We think he was trying
to blow up the entrance to the cave.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Is he he's dead?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
The piece of.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
Dom to you, the true blood, like the suit.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
To leave behind.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
They were about to press charges, but it was Dinah retaliated.
The DNA test proven Deacon was the father of her
own born child. She rebunded with a proof of the
Happy Boy's own guilt if any legal moves were made
against her brother, and so she created a stalemate.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
If her brother was going to.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Jail, so were Bobby Hadley's sons. And if Bobby would
back down, she'd keep the right out of the papers
and no one would ever know about it.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Somebody scream like, hell no, we'll see by Luke.
Speaker 11 (05:49):
When you.
Speaker 12 (05:53):
Totally I'm telling you that's no pluck, not run around
feel get your hand right.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
They can't.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
We'll be held against you in a court of law,
don't mocker.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Dina, I'm so sorry you keep saying that. Jesus, what
the fuck is wrong with you?
Speaker 11 (06:31):
Jesus? Could you believe this?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Say the first time I've been to the shriff station today, Julian.
They also arrested my son last night.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Oh no, Dina, on you're what.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh wait, let me guess you're sorry. He snuck out
again and they caught him smashing windows at Carter High School.
What excellent question. All he said was it wasn't his idea,
said his friends told him to do it.
Speaker 13 (07:01):
Well, that's the fucking thing, Julian.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I don't know who Jimmy's friends are, which is why
I'm so fucking troubled. And also I heard about Tyler.
I know he was your friend. So now I guess
it's my turn to say it. I'm sorry, Julia.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah, well I don't know what to think.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
How about we just be quiet?
Speaker 13 (07:31):
Sure you can't ever escape it, Dina was riding.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
This town is like purgatory for her, most of all
a series of winding pass all leading the dead hands
unbreakable cycles. The poor stay poor, the rich day rich,
the victims stay victimized. She might have made it out
a long time ago, if it hadn't a been for
what happened. I found this yearbook on the table here
(08:11):
in Dena's house, caught her high class of seven.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
We were babies.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
I've forgotten how long my hair was. That finch was
in there, his eyes like that of a child. During
the war, and Tyler with his mullet and shit eating grin,
looking authentically tough. I flipped past his picture before getting
lost in thought, I'm not yet ready to deal with
(08:38):
the idea that he's no longer here. Then I saw
Dina's picture, maybe the last picture taken of her previous self,
last image from across the border and time and space
that separates what she is now from who.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
She could have been. Now.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
She's a single mom with a shit job, working her
ass off to support her delinquente son, Jimmy, no family,
no support in a town that scorns her, all for
the slim hope that she can somehow right all the
wrongs that she herself never committed, Long hours on her feet,
bagging groceries for people who whisper behind her back, just
(09:22):
to pay the rent on a rickety shthole house at
the edge of town, Her child unclaimed by his paternal family, who,
with the stroke of a pen could cast light into
a dim present and give hope to an uncertain future.
Dina was isolated. She and Jimmy were alone, alone in
(09:47):
the world. Why didn't you take Jimmy and leave this place?
Speaker 8 (09:51):
A beast, get the hell out of Potsville for crass sakes.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I guess when you're alone in the world, running away
to some other part of it doesn't really change much.
Speaker 11 (10:06):
Probably a little clutter.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
So oh, seriously, don't worry about it.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Jimmy, Caroline, Hey, miss Fincher, is is everything?
Speaker 11 (10:17):
Okay? Where's Jimmy?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
He's in his room.
Speaker 11 (10:21):
How was a lesson?
Speaker 14 (10:23):
He wouldn't come out. What do you mean he locked
himself in his room and wouldn't let me in either.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
He called me some nasty things, well things, It's okay.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I don't want to talk about it, so there was
no lesson.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
I tried to call you.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I'm sorry, Caroline. I don't know what's gotten into him.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Well, if I may say so, I think it's his friends.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
Friends.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
He keeps talking about them, says they told him to
call me.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
What he called me were other kids over today?
Speaker 14 (10:57):
No, I maybe his high school friends. I don't I
have to go home.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Now, let me just.
Speaker 11 (11:05):
Thirty Okay, it's okay.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Like I said, there was no lesson.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
So that's not your fault, though, please take it.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
I'm sorry, Miss Fincher. I think this is gonna need
to be my last session.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Wait, what what did he say? To you.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
It wasn't that. It's before he went to his room.
Speaker 11 (11:22):
He was.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Inappropriate. He he touched me, groped me.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Oh my god, Caroline, I don't know what to say.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Sorry, I need to go.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
God damn it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
James Morgan Fincher get out here. Now, you mind brewing
some coffee filters above the coffee maker grounds or in
that jar. Joe and Ed are gonna be here any minute, Jimmy,
I swear to God.
Speaker 15 (11:55):
What the fuck'll comment?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
God?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I tried not to listen in but that's when I
noticed the yearbook on the table.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I picked it up in some truck.
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Did you ever lock the door again?
Speaker 15 (12:06):
I'll take it off the fucking hinges? Now look at me,
brook me in the eye. What what did you do?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Nothing?
Speaker 11 (12:18):
What the hell happened with Caroline?
Speaker 15 (12:20):
Jimmy, what happened?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Said? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Did you touch her?
Speaker 15 (12:28):
They made me do it? Who made you do what?
It tacked me? Had to tell her she was nothing
but a fat breader. I'm sorry what I didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Want to say? Why did you?
Speaker 15 (12:39):
Because I damned me?
Speaker 10 (12:40):
You called me a pussy?
Speaker 15 (12:41):
They said that was gonna hurt my burn?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Who?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Who?
Speaker 16 (12:44):
Jimmy?
Speaker 9 (12:46):
Shots?
Speaker 15 (12:47):
What times are these boys from your school? No, then, boo,
it's none of your damn business. You are mistaken about that?
Who God's from a cane?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Wait?
Speaker 15 (13:00):
What what did you just say? I told you to
never ever ever go there? Have you been going there?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Jimmy?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
No, I didn't go there.
Speaker 15 (13:11):
They're just from there, Jimmy, we are and I've done
with this conversation. You are grounded in definitely.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
No video games, no TV, and don't forget the feet
and start to give the dog as medicine.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Hey, Dina, I'm fine to find another hotel.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Standing here is too much.
Speaker 11 (13:34):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
I saw this lying on the table with you're old
year book.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I figured it was yours or finches.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
No, my, mone come on in hope.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
The driver wasn't too bad for you.
Speaker 14 (13:50):
Ran some weather near Johnson City, But that's to be
expected this time of.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Year, ain't Julian.
Speaker 16 (13:56):
We were worried about.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Who the hell can that?
Speaker 8 (14:01):
We expecting any more surprise guests?
Speaker 11 (14:03):
There know nothing I know of? Can I help you?
Comm well?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Who is it?
Speaker 11 (14:19):
Jesus Christ?
Speaker 17 (14:22):
Bobby Hadley, Hey, folks, this is Bobby Hadley of Hadley
Pontiac Chevrolet.
Speaker 16 (14:41):
And if there's one thing I know, it's the importance
of family. With my dad had Big Bobby first open
Hadley Pontiac Chevrolet. He had one goal in mind to
give you and your family a safe, reliable ride home,
had a fair price. We've carried on that family tradition.
Isn't that right, honey, that's right baby.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
This month we're running a special on these gorgeous family
bands to take your kids to school or to camp
out during summer break.
Speaker 16 (15:07):
Oh you got something to add, Thomas, just as the
prices are out of this world. Good job, son, Hey Diacon,
ain't you got something to say?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Adlee bonniec Chevrolet e't a family.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
I don't know how Bobby had. They couldn't have known
he was raising monsters.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
They're checking, but.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
There's a kind of benign neglect that leads to malignancy.
Being't too soft to parent, leaving children to their own
devices can make them into monsters.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, and not be such a pussy.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I'm just messing with you.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Bobby and Mona were soft parents. Bobby busy with the dealership,
Mona with her wine and the Women's Club of Pottsville.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
The boys did as they pleased, and.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
We all know how that ended.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
At any rate.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
After the Hathley brothers were found murdered at the mouth
of the cave, Bobby Havley went underground for a little
to mourn.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
His whole future wiped away.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Mona dealt with the loss differently. She left a week
after the funeral, took half of their savings with her.
As the story goes, maybe she couldn't stand all the ghosts.
Bobby slowly returned to his business over the course of months,
still made it to church Sundays, still went to the
occasional town hall meeting, but he wasn't the same thinner,
(16:56):
less joe, feel less, brash, just less, a man who
had everything except the thing they counted. I know he
must have known about his grandson, Denis baby Jimmy. Everyone
else in town did. But he couldn't seem to reconcile
the thought of his beloved sons being involved in an
act that would lead to Jimmy's existence. And so he
(17:19):
created a wall in his mind and in his heart.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
A wall of denial, and he kept his distance.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Until Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Bobby Hadley Deputy Campbell.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
It's just miss Campbell.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Now, mister Hadley, can you remember Julian Solace from the
trial alsoome, Oh well I am, and this is James's
defense attorney, mister the blank, you remember my brother, James Fincher.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Let's see here to support our kids.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Uh no, I'm here to talk to miss Fincher Dina
about what about the.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
About the boy, about Jimmy.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Uh yeah, I was connor.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Let me get you some coffee.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Ok, okay, we.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Have sugar bowl.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
We're out of milk.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Oh no, just black, thank you.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Dina went for the coffee and left Bobby standing there,
sweat forming on his brow, his face red, struggling to
Breathe normally staring at the pictures on the wall and
on the mantel, pictures a little Jimmy in his baseball uniform,
Pictures of James Fincher too, from when he was a boy.
I could see the wheel spinning behind his eyes. Maybe
(18:52):
the first time he'd ever considered either of those people,
James Fincher or his grandson Jimmy, as actual human beings.
Nobody said a word until Dina came back with a
mug of coffee.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
Here you go.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
What you got there the box?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Oh, it's just some family stuff for your son, for Jimmy,
in case you in case you want him to know
about the other side of his family, maybe we should
(19:31):
step outside.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
No, you can say, everybody stay. What would you want
him to know about the other side of his family,
mister Hadley.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Well, I just I thought, I thought, why are.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You showing up right now here at my house?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
I just can I put the box down? Go on,
Miss Spencer. I didn't mean to intrude. I mean, I
didn't have your number, but I've been thinking about well,
the past and the future, and I've been thinking about
(20:08):
all that for a very long time now, and well,
I didn't know. I didn't know whether I should ever
try to contact you, or if you'd even well, you'd
even be willing to listen. But now that I'm here,
I'm just look, I'm really sorry about everything about how
my God, about all the things that well, jeez, listen,
(20:34):
I've been praying about it, yes I have. And Reverend
Perkins came to me and suggested that maybe I come
talk to you, and he did it unbidden, and I thought, well,
I just thought, I thought, maybe that's something. Maybe that's
the Lord telling me the Lord. Look, all I'm saying
(20:59):
is is I want to meet him, the boy Jimmy
and and I don't know, just think about it, just
pray on it. Maybe I don't know if you pray anyway,
(21:19):
I guess just consider it and well. In the meantime,
I brought some things about his history about us. Look
them over. Please left my number in an envelope in
the box. I'm gonna leave you all to it.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Jesus Christ, cigarette break anybody. Dina went through the box immediately.
Old pictures going back generations, xerox copies of diaries, birth certificates,
an old copy of the Bible inscribed to Mona Hadley,
a little cross section of history, and then video tapes
(22:02):
three or four Thomas and Deacon's names written in a
neat feminine hand on the label, and an envelope with
Dina's name and a slop ofier hand inside, a slip
of paper with Bobby's sell number on it, and a
check for ten thousand dollars with the memo reading for
the future. We wrapped up the meeting shortly thereafter.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Wanna beer, I don't know whiskey.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Yes, you don't have to watch the tapes, of course
I do.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Why do you think I'm offering you booze.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Huh, you're gonna consider letting them in?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
On one hand, that family always seemed drawn to the core.
On the other, it's an escape plan.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
He could go to college, he could get the fuck
out of here. Yeah, come, old James, think if I
did let him in.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
I feel like you do understand, Dina, I really do.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
Well the courage Dan.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Here.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
The videotapes were just what you'd think old family movies
or with the people you hate most in the world
Thomas and d can plain t ball, cub Scout.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Pine with derbies.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
I watched Dina watch these boys at first with a
cold glare and then an intense sort of curiosity, and
then I fell asleep.
Speaker 17 (23:49):
Okay, okay, now do the people.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Julian wake up?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I'm up.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I'm up, I'm up.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
Hey, hey, hey, you fell asleep in front of the TV.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Well so I did.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Sorry, it's a whiskey.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Why don't you guy splash some water on your face
and I'll finish up dinner.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
A little fucking monstership.
Speaker 17 (24:33):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
You're thinking we were born bad? All right?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
I mean that's out the old man things. He thinks
he made us monsters want the fuck.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Right.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Then the lightning strunk a transformer outside of Tina's house
and the power went out.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Fuck.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
I moved to the window and saw the fog was back,
along with hundreds of screeching bats flapping by the window.
And minute, hey mm, put in the mailbox.
Speaker 13 (25:11):
Oh shit, alright.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
The bottles up.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Except for the TV. That is, the images of young
Thomas and Deacon still flickering across the screen.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I mean that try the best, I guess, but there's
only so much you can do outside influences and all.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I ain't shit.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
My earliest memories are wanting to hurt stuff. I guess
you can turn that out of a kid.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
If you work hard enough.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's called a beautiful Leacon.
Speaker 11 (25:52):
Yeah, Jimmy, you'll okay.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I think a transformer bloo man.
