19
00:00:40,207 --> 00:00:43,751
Sazz figured this all out. Maybe
that's what she wanted to tell me.
20
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:46,462
I wanted to tell you something
about your friend, Sazz.
21
00:00:46,463 --> 00:00:48,005
She was on the ham radio,
22
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:50,800
asking about all these huge plot
holes you had in your podcast.
23
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:54,595
You're how Sazz knew about all
the West Tower stuff in her notes.
24
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:59,308
She talked about a stuntman on a
movie called Project Ronkonkoma.
25
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:01,227
She said, "He's gonna
be the death of me."

Here we go! Project Ronkonkoma.

00:01:05,107 --> 00:01:07,358
Who's the stunt person? Is
it someone we can talk to?

Until it's time to move
on to the next show,
33
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,669

to lose touch.

No, no, you're good.
I'm just leavin' set.

Okay, fine, we're here

62
00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:27,688
and we need to see Glen.
63
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:30,107
Glen is in a fragile state.
64
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,401
He can't be subjected to

These are mild questions.

beefin' with her protégé.

happened on Project Ronkonkoma

in. That's final.

Also, what's with the beer?

L-lure him out of his coma.
76
00:03:02,641 --> 00:03:05,893
Ya thought the smell of
beer would rouse him?
77
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,396
Why? 'Cause he's Irish?
78
00:03:08,397 --> 00:03:10,106
Did ya bring some
corned beef, too?
79
00:03:10,107 --> 00:03:12,233
- No...
- [Oliver growls softly]
80
00:03:12,234 --> 00:03:14,443
We also brought smellin' salts.
81
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:16,947

of being in bad taste.

brought a witchy board

control it with his mind.
87
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:29,960
So?
88
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:35,047
[Mabel] Well, the nurse said
that she'd call if Glen wakes up.
89
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,008
- [Oliver] Oh.
- [Charles] So, what do we do now?
90
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:39,302
What do I do with all this beer?
91
00:03:39,303 --> 00:03:41,137
Sazz gave them to me
the night she died,
92
00:03:41,138 --> 00:03:43,306
but I'm never gonna drink
them 'cause, as you know,
93
00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:44,974
beer is a peasant's drink.
94
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:47,226
Oliver, I'll take
your peasant's beer
95
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,021
because I'm such a good friend.
96
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:51,230
You know, I've been thinking.
97
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:54,400
You're getting married in a few
days, and what if I took you out
98
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:57,571
and bought you a non-beer
drink to, uh, celebrate?
99
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:01,365
Charles, are you offering to
throw me a bachelor party?
100
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:03,326
I don't care what people say.
101

[growls] Good people.
103
00:04:08,707 --> 00:04:11,167
Guys, it's the bartender
from Concussions.
104
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:12,543
Ah!
105
00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:16,380
The three jackasses who
promised to solve Sazz's murder.
106
00:04:16,381 --> 00:04:17,673
We're still doing that.
107
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:20,051
- Hm, racked up a coma along the way.
- [Oliver starts recording]
108
00:04:20,052 --> 00:04:22,512
Hey, uh, you're in
the stunt world.
109
00:04:22,513 --> 00:04:24,972
We heard Sazz's protégé
on Project Ronkonkoma
110
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,058
was giving her a hard time,
111
00:04:27,059 --> 00:04:29,393
and Glen Stubbins ended up
with credit on the movie.
112
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:30,811
No.
113
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,814
Glen was brought in to
replace Sazz's protégé.
114
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:37,402
The guy fucked up so bad,
Sazz had to blackball him.
115
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:41,697
So, Sazz ended her
protégé's career,
116
00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:43,616
and then Glen replaced him.
117
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:46,203
That's motive to
kill both of 'em.
118
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:50,623
So, Glen was never our
shooter. He was another victim.
119
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:52,250
Who was this protégé?
120
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:55,628
- And what happened on Project Ronkonkoma?
- [bartender] I didn't know the guy.
121
00:04:55,629 --> 00:05:00,884
The only ones who know what went down
are Sazz, Glen, and the director.
122
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:04,387
So, all we have to do is track
down the director of that movie,
123
00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:05,930
who was...
124
00:05:05,931 --> 00:05:07,014
