0:48

Starring Leslie Grace and Sony bring

0:49

us. Episode 6,

0:52

ghosting of Empire. I've

0:57

never had best friend before. And

0:59

heck, I had no idea what I was missing out

1:01

on. We have these rituals,

1:04

our weekly routine. Reality TV

1:06

Mondays. She's here for those

1:08

wrong reasons. Like, I totally

1:11

don't. You can't convince me otherwise. Amanda's

1:13

totally just there for the Instagram

1:15

followers. Don't you think? I don't

1:17

know. She seems like she

1:18

really cares about that. You

1:20

vampires are such hopeless romantics. We

1:23

also do wine Wednesdays. She

1:25

knows a lot about wine. Plus,

1:28

she's a real history buff.

1:31

Holy. Fraud, this goes down easy.

1:34

What is this from the nice section at CVS?

1:36

I picked it up when I passed through Wardell. Back

1:40

in nineteen forty seven. And

1:43

of

1:43

course, we have our mutual

1:45

hobbies. I

1:48

don't want it to. No.

1:52

III can possibly

1:56

Well, I can We

2:02

love our shared passion. Ceramics.

2:06

Well, she's the ceramicist.

2:09

I'm just her helper. I'd like

2:11

to learn more though from her, the

2:13

master,

2:14

you know, about ceramics, but

2:17

I don't wanna step on her toes. Why

2:19

would it step on her toes if you wanted

2:21

to learn more? I mean, she can't be the

2:23

only ceramic system in half. Well,

2:26

she's certainly the most lipid. Seems

2:28

like you're overthinking this. If you wanna

2:30

learn from her, just to ask, honey. Really?

2:33

Oh, yeah.

2:33

Definitely. If anything, I bet she'll be

2:35

flatter.

2:36

Well, think as I already asked

2:38

sort of a while ago. But it was that

2:40

awkward thing where I brought it up for a minute and then

2:42

she kinda distracted off. I don't know

2:44

if she knew how serious I was

2:47

about it. You know?

2:49

By the way, how much longer I have

2:51

a reality TV marathon to get to?

2:53

You're all set. Great meeting

2:55

and dancing. And hey, good luck with

2:57

the ceramics. You got this. Al?

3:11

Oh. Hi. Yeah. I was just gonna

3:13

let myself in. I figured you were still in the

3:15

song. Are those? New

3:17

highlights? What? These? I

3:20

guess. Yeah. They look

3:22

just like mine. Well, they're not

3:24

as good as yours. But

3:27

they're a start. Oh,

3:29

by the way, I picked you up a try on the way home.

3:32

What's the occasion? Just a gal

3:34

treating her busty. Hey.

3:39

Elle, I was wondering, I

3:42

mean, I was thinking, what

3:45

what's that? You know

3:47

what we talked about? Back on Long

3:49

Island, about

3:52

me potentially joining you on kills

3:54

from now on? Oh, yeah. I don't

3:56

think that's a good idea. Well, I just

3:58

thought it might be helpful. For you,

4:01

I could be the on-site cleanup crew.

4:03

Take all of the mess out of it for look,

4:07

the truth is I wouldn't wanna

4:09

put you through that. I was just thinking I

4:12

I could help, you know. I've been following

4:14

your cleanup protocol religiously, so

4:16

there's really no need. But

4:18

I appreciate the offer. Oh,

4:21

that's great, but

4:23

the thing is we're missing

4:24

it. Want

4:27

her go. What do I

4:29

tell her? The truth

4:32

that after coming so close to the edge,

4:34

after feeling so alive,

4:38

I'm stuck chasing the high that

4:40

I've been numb ever since just going through the

4:42

motions, judging along through the winnights

4:44

and barcrawls and yasqueens, praying

4:47

that I'll get another chance to be there when some

4:49

poor sucker draws his final

4:51

breath, Nancy. You

4:54

were kinda spacing out there. Gosh.

4:57

Right. I'm just so tired.

5:00

How many episodes was that? Three,

5:03

four. You're really

5:05

spacey. Yeah.

5:08

I guess I better turn in. See

5:10

you tomorrow for trashy TV Tuesday, which

5:12

is obviously different. From reality

5:15

TV month entirely. Reality TV

5:17

is stay at home moms throwing glasses of wine

5:19

at each other. Trash TV is hot

5:21

sister island. Later,

5:24

Bye. Good

5:35

evening, Jeves. Time

5:38

for bed, Jeez,

5:48

come on. It's just a pillow. It

5:50

would only take three minutes. Smothering

5:52

someone. Under perfect conditions, of course,

5:55

no pushback from the victim. Maybe

5:57

five if they put up a fight.

6:02

It's just the pillow. Just

6:04

the pillow. Nothing to see here.

6:11

That land, the light

6:13

bulb, you break it into glass

6:16

shards just one clean-cut across

6:18

the carotid. Nope. Look,

6:23

I think I'll do a bit of light reading before

6:25

bed. That hard cover.

6:28

It's thick enough for a snack across the temple

6:30

or to the brain stone, blunt force

6:33

trauma. Maybe some

6:35

TV. And and a glass of warm

6:37

milk. That'll do it.

6:40

And with the inventive use of household

6:42

items, the murderer was able to achieve

6:45

full dismemberment. No.

6:46

No. No. I

6:48

mean, really, I'm much

6:51

more similar to the

6:52

victims. It's

6:54

not like like I

6:56

watch homicide hour because I see myself

6:58

in the The killers.

6:59

Nancy? Nancy?

7:04

Come on now. That's just not me.

7:06

I I have not some kind of monster. That

7:09

was the word that came to mind. And

7:12

while the killer tried to assure themselves,

7:14

they were not the

7:15

monster. They knew themselves to me.

7:17

Goddamn it.

7:23

There's something wrong in the helper

7:25

functions he submitted. I

7:28

thought you were to address the tech debt.

7:29

I am sir dead.

7:32

I'm addressing them, but it's a huge amount

7:34

of work for one person in such a short

7:36

window.

7:37

Nancy, I'm gonna let you in on little secret.

7:40

Success, It isn't

7:42

owned. It's rented. And

7:45

you know when rent is due?

7:47

At the first of the month.

7:49

Every damn day.

7:52

So no

7:53

more. No excuses. Okay. Sure.

7:58

I hope I'm not overstepping. But

8:00

have you considered a plant based diet? Clarissa

8:03

Mayfield's raw vegan regimen could

8:05

really help with your dark circles. And

8:09

sluggishness.

8:10

No. I have

8:11

not.

8:11

Something keeping you up at night.

8:13

No. Sleeping like a baby.

8:16

Hence the dark circles. Is there some sort of

8:18

issue? Sorry,

8:20

Ted. I I've just been dealing

8:22

with personal stuff.

8:25

No problem, Nancy. My door

8:27

is always open. If there's

8:29

anything you'd like to get off your chest.

8:32

Anything you'd like to get off your chest,

8:34

people say that. Right? That's it's a normal phrase,

8:36

but I don't know. That felt weird.

8:41

Oh,

8:44

hi, please. Did you get highlights? They

8:47

look nice. Oh, thank

8:50

you. Wait, what's

8:52

weird? So our guy, Chad Wallace, is

8:54

doing a big piece on Sid's disappearance this

8:56

Friday.

8:57

I know. So crazy. I was

8:59

watching it last night when they announced it. Obviously,

9:01

same. Anyway, this morning

9:03

on Twitter, they announced they're accepting theories

9:06

and tips from the public, and whoever solves

9:08

it gets to go to the Senate and meet Chad Wallace.

9:10

What? So I've been looking into

9:13

it. What's weird is, there's been

9:15

a recent uptick in

9:16

missing persons in Manhattan. Crime's

9:18

always up in the city. I mean, I get scared

9:20

taking the subway. Well, you have nothing

9:22

to fear in this case. Why is that?

9:25

See, this is what makes it weird.

9:28

Ghosting cases are only up amongst

9:30

a certain population. Men,

9:32

usually single, aged eighteen to

9:34

thirty five, often with some sort

9:36

of misdemeanor or felony in their past.

9:39

Oh, wow. But,

9:42

you know, with missing persons, it's nebulous

9:45

could have run away, skippedown, especially

9:47

with the criminal

9:48

record. Normally sure, what you're saying

9:50

would

9:50

be the simplest answer since most of them haven't

9:52

been found. But over the weekend, someone

9:55

found a partially dissolved thumb

9:57

in the bathroom of a man who had been missing

9:59

for weeks. A human thumb.

10:02

So, elves getting sloppy. Yep.

10:04

A human thumb. Hence,

10:07

my suspicion that it's connected. They

10:10

aren't missing. They were

10:12

killed. Let's not jump

10:14

to

10:15

conclusions, Louise.

10:16

I looking through the data, it's inconclusive

10:18

at best.

10:19

Nancy, you of all. People should

10:21

understand how significant this is. Me?

10:25

Why do you say that? Because you live

10:27

for this stuff. For homicide hour

10:29

and true crime? So Do

10:32

I need to spell it out for you? Up

10:35

tick and missing persons contained to a six

10:37

mile radius specific profile

10:39

that fits each victim. We

10:41

could have a serial killer on our hands. Oh,

10:45

wow. Imagine if we crack this case,

10:47

a serial killer. They'd probably even

10:49

invite us to the

10:50

show. What do you think? What

10:53

do what do I think? I I

10:58

think yeah. Sure. Let's let's

11:00

catch the serial killer. Happy

11:09

trash TV Tuesday. Oh,

11:12

I thought you were bringing lattes. Sorry.

11:14

I forgot. I came straight from work.

11:17

Everything okay? A thumb

11:19

was found at Tucker McCann's apartment. Should

11:23

I know who that is? Stockbroker,

11:25

five nine Greenwich village, Pension

11:27

for Soft Tanner and the patriarchy. Oh,

11:30

Tucker. He was delicious.

11:33

Delicious perhaps, but only partially

11:35

dissolved. And now his thumb has the

11:37

potential to wreak havoc over our lives.

11:41

You gave me exact instructions

11:44

and I just There's

11:46

no room for error and I messed it up

11:48

anyway. No. No. Hey, come on.

11:51

What do we always say? No

11:53

negative self self talk. Okay. No one

11:55

expects you to be perfect. You're only human.

11:58

Well, you know what

12:00

I mean? Human adjacent. Gee,

12:02

thanks. You still have a lot to learn and

12:04

that's okay. I'm here for you.

12:07

I've been doing research on crime scene cleanup

12:09

nonstop.

12:10

It might be easier if I just come with you when

12:12

you go out hunting. No. I

12:15

can't ask you to do

12:16

that. I'll be more careful next

12:18

time. Oh, you don't have to do this alone.

12:20

I've got you want no part in it, believe me.

12:23

I hated that you saw me like that. Like

12:26

I was a monster.

12:29

A monster. No.

12:31

never want you to see me that again. Seam

12:34

Robert made me realize, I

12:37

don't want to keep killing, but

12:39

I have to. So the

12:41

least I can do is leave you as

12:43

uninvolved as possible. Stop with all that

12:46

crazy talk. Okay? I'm

12:48

your best friend. That's very

12:51

reductive description of our situation.

12:53

We're not just mata and

12:55

manicures, we're killing

12:58

people. Yeah. And we're in it together. Us

13:01

against the world.

13:04

Look, I didn't wanna mention it, but

13:06

the walls are closing in on We

13:09

can't afford even a minor mistake right now.

13:12

Serial killer. A guy in

13:14

my office tossed that doozy of a term around

13:16

today. So some guy

13:18

thinks there is a serial killer or so what?

13:21

He doesn't think

13:22

that. He arrived at that conclusion

13:24

via data. Look, you just you

13:27

don't you don't get

13:29

today's world. You lose a thumb

13:31

here, leave a drop of blood there, and

13:33

suddenly a team of computer scientists modeling

13:36

the data and the feds are knocking down our

13:37

doors. If some guy in

13:40

my office can find this stuff, you think the

13:42

FBI can't? What?

13:47

Nancy, there are people

13:49

out there looking for me. Really

13:52

bad people. What do you mean? I mean,

13:54

I'd rather die than be found who

13:58

who is it? I came to

14:00

New York to disappear. Do you

14:02

understand? Said

14:05

it? You're really not gonna

14:07

give anything? Well,

14:11

I promise that me coming on the kills with you

14:13

is the best way to run a clean operation.

14:16

Of staying under the radar. Fine.

14:22

Okay. Oh, and no

14:24

need to choose your next few kills on the app.

14:28

We we have a backlog, plus we

14:30

gotta throw off the data. So I'll

14:32

weave some in that aren't our usual type.

14:34

Don't worry. You won't be eating from the bottom

14:37

of the barrel.

14:39

As long as they bleed.

14:41

What is going on? Congratulations. Welcome

14:43

to Hot Sister Island,

14:46

where we pulled together the hottest

14:48

brother Oh,

14:50

also my I got something super

14:52

cool plan for tomorrow. You're gonna love it

14:54

tomorrow. Wine Wednesday,

14:57

hello? Oh. I

15:00

can't. You you

15:02

can't. I'm busy.

15:05

Did I book you and I pretty sure put up the

15:07

evening. How are you liking that by the way?

15:09

Good. Right? Yeah. The acupuncture

15:11

is great. I'm looking for your calendar

15:13

and I didn't schedule anything for tomorrow

15:16

night. Did you

15:20

did you make other plans on

15:23

your own? Yes, as

15:25

I've been doing for centuries. 0II

15:28

mean, no big deal. So

15:32

what what what did you have planned? Is

15:35

it Robert? I I thought you didn't call him back. I didn't.

15:38

Just have plans for the night with

15:41

who are you? The FBI? It'd

15:43

be the CIA in this case. regardless. I

15:46

think you mean regardless. Jesus, let me

15:48

live. I'm sorry. I would just like to

15:50

know who you're you're mothering me.

15:52

Don't you get that?

15:53

Oh.

15:58

I'm sorry. I just I

16:01

thought you liked doing things together.

16:06

God. What? You just

16:08

do this thing? Are you

16:10

at, you know, pathetic?

16:13

I'm not acting. If

16:16

you think I'm pathetic when you

16:18

are acting, you're guilt tripping

16:20

me. I put my life on hold

16:23

for you. I live for you. Is that

16:25

not enough? It's too much. You're

16:27

just not used to having a best friend. This

16:29

is what friends do. They argue. They butt

16:31

heads, but they always come back to each

16:33

other. How would you know? What?

16:36

Didn't you say you'd never had a friend

16:38

in your entire life?

16:46

Did she just

16:50

You can't just walk out on me. We're

16:53

in your apartment doesn't work that way.

16:58

Fudge.

17:04

Oh my god. Hello highlight.

17:08

Wow. They're actually really

17:10

cute. Chunky for

17:12

my days, but they're fun. Thanks.

17:16

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. That is

17:18

not the vial of someone who just got fresh

17:20

highlights. What's going on. I mean,

17:22

I get it. Taka hush has been on your case,

17:24

but you can't let the haters get you down, girl

17:27

boss. You're up blonde now.

17:30

Kinda. So you should at least kind

17:32

of have more fun. But

17:34

like seriously actually, why

17:36

do you look particularly drab today?

17:39

I just I don't

17:41

know. My

17:43

best friend and I had a fight and

17:45

it's been Oh, babe. I'm

17:48

sorry.

17:50

know one time my best friend and I were

17:52

at the club and Drake was there

17:54

and he asked for my number and not hers.

17:56

And then he rented out this insane

17:59

five star restaurant for me like

18:01

like the entire restaurant

18:04

for just me and him

18:06

for dinner and it was so

18:10

epic, but it

18:13

really did put a tamper on our friendship. Yeah.

18:15

That's not exactly what happened

18:17

here, but thanks for the personal

18:20

anecdote. I guess what

18:22

I wanna know is, how does

18:24

one men's a friendship? Oh,

18:27

I don't

18:27

know. I just ghosted her.

18:30

Friends ghost each other?

18:32

Yeah. Well, sure. I mean,

18:35

you can go basically anywhere

18:37

and you just start small. Like,

18:39

sorry, you can't hang out tonight or

18:41

ignore a few tax here and there and

18:43

eventually if you do that

18:44

enough, they kinda just get the hint.

18:47

Oh my god. Ow's

18:50

phasing me out. I'm getting

18:52

a vampire. Not freaking

18:54

pathetic. Nancy?

18:57

You're doing that weird thing again? Were you spaced

18:59

out in an audibly muttered to yourself? Look.

19:02

It's gonna be fine. Just give her some

19:04

space.

19:06

Some space. Don't

19:08

call her text. But I

19:10

mean, we do everything together. Yeah.

19:13

So don't. Not until she reaches

19:15

out first. Trust me.

19:18

Oh, Okay. Hey,

19:20

Nancy. Got some time to work on our

19:23

little project? Sure.

19:25

Paulina. Keep this on the BL,

19:27

but Nancy and I are working on solving a disappearance.

19:31

SIDS.

19:32

Oh, he's totally dead.

19:33

We don't know that. Yeah. He definitely

19:35

is. Nancy, did you get my email

19:38

round up of all the facts we've got to work with?

19:40

Yeah. Given that Sid likely

19:42

went willingly with whoever abducted

19:44

him, I think our culprit could be

19:46

a

19:46

woman. That is so fast.

19:49

A woman. Sid was like

19:52

6 hundred pounds, and

19:53

jacked. That'd be like Tom Hardy

19:56

or freaking Hagrid getting abducted by a

19:58

woman.

19:58

Okay. What if it wasn't a woman?

20:01

What if it was Women. Whoa.

20:04

Sid was a total douche. Personally,

20:06

I'm for the girls on this one.

20:11

Wasn't he last seeding your building

20:13

Nancy? Yeah.

20:15

I think so.

20:16

Wait. I

20:17

thought that was just the rumor. So

20:20

Sid was actually in your building

20:22

the ninety disappeared. There's a bar on the

20:24

first floor of the cuspid. Get out.

20:26

You live on top of the cuspid and

20:28

that is like the sickest

20:31

fart in me

20:32

packing. Yeah. I only

20:34

moved there because it's an easy commute to work.

20:36

So

20:36

he was in your building the night

20:38

he went missing. It's not like it's that big

20:40

of a deal. Everyone from work goes

20:42

to the casket except me. Ironically.

20:46

Oh my god. What if it was

20:48

your weird neighbor? The girl

20:50

you told me about

20:51

it. You have a weird neighbor? Did

20:53

she know Sid? Does she seem

20:56

murderous? No.

21:01

I mean, she's a little mysterious, but

21:04

No. I don't think. Wait.

21:05

We should totally try to meet her and just do a little

21:07

vibe check. If she's a suspect, that

21:09

could be prudent. She's not a suss bag.

21:11

There's literally no way. The

21:13

whole thought is preposterous, but

21:16

she couldn't be more than like a hundred

21:18

and twenty pounds. You think she's gonna take on

21:20

some dude twice her

21:21

size?

21:22

That's where the other woman comes in.

21:24

Oh my god, Nancy. What

21:26

if it was you?

21:30

Caught me. I was like, okay. I see what that be. It was

21:33

you. Nancy from work.

21:35

My hot, mysterious neighbor, and I totally

21:38

killed Sid together. My

21:40

psychopathy knows him about. You

21:44

know what? She's actually a vampire. Yeah.

21:46

She killed her and then drank his

21:48

blood. And then helped her line of people. Oh,

21:51

god.

21:53

I totally lived for

21:54

twilight. Oh. The best movie ever.

21:57

Guys, guys, let's reign it

21:59

in. Since killer is

22:01

out there, right under our noses

22:03

like that. So scandalous. One

22:06

thing's for certain. We're going

22:08

to get to the bottom of this.

22:10

Yeah. Thank

22:12

God. Elle

22:15

would have gotten a kick out of that. But

22:18

alas, it's been a full day and

22:22

no contact.

22:28

I don't miss her at all. I

22:30

have lots of cool things to do without

22:32

her, like

22:35

feeding genes. Now, that's something

22:37

and watching homicide

22:39

out.

22:39

Next up, an update on the Sydney

22:42

Ferrero case. Is there a

22:44

serial killer of foot in the big apple.

22:47

And freaking out about the possibility of

22:49

life in prison. Plus,

22:51

I have tons of stuff to do tonight. It's

22:54

actually better. I don't see her. I

22:56

can finally spend some time on that tech debt

22:58

in the helper functions. Phoebe.

23:39

23:48

Next up.

23:52

Day two was no Never

23:56

better. Maybe

23:58

I should text her. See if

24:00

she needs anything. No.

24:03

No. Like Paulina

24:05

said, space. I'll

24:09

want space. I'll give her

24:11

space. Day

24:17

three? Noelle. And

24:19

I'm doing fine. Not stressed

24:22

at all. It's not like I've

24:24

been in a worry spiral.

24:29

Oh, freaking crap. Louise,

24:32

he figured it out. Since

24:34

this is how it goes down, we

24:37

and handcuffs. I'd like to

24:39

speak to where. I I

24:41

would like to speak to her. I'd

24:44

like to speak to her. Oh,

24:47

thank

24:47

god. Not for me. Never

24:53

hurts. Check out the action. Doesn't?

25:04

What happened? I

25:06

think it was a stabbing. Looks

25:08

like it was

25:09

fatal. Holy crap. How do you know?

25:11

Corners band just pulled up. Cool.

25:16

I didn't I didn't mean cool.

25:18

I just I lived for this stuff.

25:21

True crime. And actually

25:24

working on solving a case myself. Are

25:27

you? Yeah. I'm

25:29

a big homicide hour fan and they're doing

25:31

a lot of coverage this Infinera

25:33

case. It's silly.

25:35

But, yeah, I thought I'd give it a shot.

25:38

Just my luck. Everyone

25:40

in this godforsaken city is on the

25:42

case. Good luck with that.

25:45

Thanks. Shelly,

25:48

by the

25:48

way. Do I

25:51

know you? No.

25:54

I I don't think so. Why?

25:56

You remind me of

25:59

someone. Can bears me.

26:02

I never remind anyone

26:04

of anyone. An

26:08

old friend. Someone

26:11

I no longer want anything to do

26:13

with. The

26:16

shy, an offensive girl, craning

26:19

her neck at a crime seemed to get a better view.

26:22

Dawson, invisible, Meaningless.

26:28

El poke me out of that to

26:30

think with out her bush, I could have gone

26:32

my whole life not knowing who. I

26:37

Get out of my seat. 0II

26:40

said get out of my seat. Sir,

26:43

I don't appreciate your tone. That's about

26:45

it. This

26:48

is my seat,

26:50

and you don't wanna mess with me. Oh,

26:52

no?

26:53

No. You don't. Peace

26:56

if you do. So

26:58

help me

26:59

god. I will make

27:01

you regret the day you were born.

27:04

What?

27:09

Sure. I'll ignited this horrible

27:11

dark ugly thing within me. But

27:16

what if it's always been there? What

27:19

if it's been my secret superpower

27:21

all

27:22

along? Hello?

27:26

Hey.

27:28

Sorry. Who is this?

27:29

Oh, come on Nancy. It's me

27:32

Oh, hell. Hey.

27:34

Sorry. I'm just in the middle of something.

27:36

What's up? Look. I

27:39

I feel badly about how we Ghosting.

27:41

And

27:43

also, I'm

27:45

really hungry. Okay.

27:47

I was thinking Maybe

27:49

we can go hunting. You

27:52

can come, you know, on the expedition if

27:54

you'd like. Let me

27:56

check what my plans are, and I'll call you

27:58

right Hey,

28:06

Al? I'm free.

28:09

Great.

28:10

Should we call it seven, my place? The

28:14

killer. The victim.

28:16

Irresistible urges.

28:19

Plunge the night. No

28:23

remorse.

28:25

What you doing? Sorry.

28:27

I suppose if I come through the window, I should

28:29

still lock.

28:32

I I know I

28:34

said some hurtful things, and

28:37

I'm sorry. No. I

28:40

I know I came on a bit strong. I

28:43

was

28:43

just excited. I

28:47

should have understood you needed

28:48

space. The truth is

28:51

I am playing around with expanding

28:54

my social circle. Hey, that's

28:57

Great. Good for

29:00

you. So

29:02

you said something about bunching.

29:05

Are you willing to tag along?

29:08

Like, cleanup crew?

29:10

I guess I could. I

29:12

have a perfect kill. Lined up for us.

29:22

This is the place? Yeah. A

29:24

bit hipster, isn't it? I guess

29:26

that's what you get when you come to Brooklyn. Oatmeal

29:30

latte drinking, working stock wearing savers

29:32

of the planet and all that. Lucky

29:35

for us, they're on an electronic lock system.

29:39

Okay. Let's see. Oh.

29:47

System's down. This

29:59

is the victim. Yeah, I

30:01

guess. Looks a

30:03

tad young. I

30:07

thought we only hunt in men. We need

30:09

to throw off the data. Don't want anyone

30:11

to be able to build a profile, and

30:13

Is she morally

30:16

compromise? Oh, yes, she is. I'll

30:18

life ruin her. From

30:21

what I gather from the data.

30:28

She's like twenty five. I can't

30:30

kill We've killed twenty five year olds

30:32

before. What about what

30:34

was his name? The the Wall

30:36

Street

30:37

Cycle. He was twenty five, but

30:39

she just looks like she's pretty

30:42

cold, blonde. If she's looked like

30:44

me, would you feel the same way? No. It it's

30:47

not that. She just doesn't

30:49

seem like someone

30:50

who and who seems like

30:52

someone who may not see? Nancy

30:56

Melendez. What
