This show is part of the pro democracy

0:15

podcast coalition. I think most of

0:17

us agree that in a functioning democracy, the

0:19

winner should be determined by the voters. Well,

0:22

that almost didn't happen in twenty twenty.

0:25

In some places, it came down to just a

0:27

few election administrators who stood

0:29

up to authoritarians and refused to

0:31

fudge the numbers. Now extremists

0:33

are working to intimidate and replace non partisan

0:36

election workers with yes men who

0:38

might reject election results. The

0:40

only thing that will stop them is us.

0:43

We've partnered with the grassroots pro democracy

0:45

organization represent us

0:47

to give you the tools you need to protect

0:50

free and fair elections. Learn

0:52

1:04

Undertot

1:05

is back with a new season,

1:08

Blood Forest. Starting how to get

1:10

away with murder actor Jack Fallihy

1:12

did full of murder, werewolves, and

1:15

mystery, and is perfect for fans of midnight

1:17

mass and Steven King. The show

1:19

was created by me, Fred Greenhold, and

1:21

written by a fantastically twisted team

1:23

of main based writers. And what can

1:25

I say? There's just something in the water here in New

1:27

England that makes you think of dark and demented

1:30

things. When retired marine

1:32

Frank Parati arrives in Langley Maine,

1:34

he's just looking to make peace with his own personal

1:36

tragedy and his unaware of the town's

1:39

blood soaked past. What he discovers

1:41

next will threaten his sanity and

1:43

the town's very survival. You see?

1:46

Ware wolves are real, and they've

1:48

been hiding in Langley for generations. Frank's

1:51

one chance to defeat the evil may

1:53

lie with local teenager whose family

1:55

has a connection with the werewolf curse, one

1:57

that will reshape her entire world.

1:59

Under toe blood forest is the perfect

2:02

show for this time of year, and it's available wherever

2:04

puck tests are served, but you don't

2:06

have to go anywhere just yet to start listening.

2:08

We've got the first full episode for you right

2:10

here, so just stay where you are and

2:13

watch out for the werewolves.

2:21

Have you ever needed a new beginning? A

2:25

fresh start in a town where no one knows

2:27

your name and isn't expecting much from

2:29

you? So maybe you can find yourself

2:31

again. Frank Pratey,

2:33

the lead character of her initial blood

2:35

force, sure wanted that. that he's

2:37

gonna find that coming to the remote town of

2:39

Langley Main is far more than

2:41

he bargained for. Frank's

2:43

nightmares bleed into the day.

2:46

as we'll discover in our first episode of

2:48

Blood Forests just

2:49

after this.

2:53

Hi. This is Fred Greenholger, host

2:55

of Undertoe, realm's podcast taking

2:58

you under the surface and into the weird and

3:00

the wicked. I'm also the creator of twisted

3:02

tail coming to your ears today, blood forest.

3:05

Blood forest brings us to Langley Maine,

3:07

a town haunted by the sins of its town fathers,

3:10

with a terrible curse that lays waste

3:12

to its residents every twenty odd years.

3:14

Today, we'll be meeting two people caught

3:16

in the crosshairs of the latest cycle. There's

3:19

Frank Parati, a veteran with the past he'd

3:21

rather not remember played by Jack Fauley

3:23

and Eva Pelletier, a teenager

3:26

with division disability has dreams to put

3:28

as many miles between her and her hometown as

3:30

soon as she graduates high school. She's

3:32

played by Brie Klauzer. But

3:34

there are creatures out in the blood forest

3:36

that have term plans for both of them. Buckle

3:39

in for this one, it's heavy metal ride through

3:41

cycles of violence in trauma and what happens

3:43

to ordinary people when they step up to confront

3:45

them here in the blood forest.

3:48

Before we jump in, note that this is a podcast

3:50

richer audiences. It features graphic violence,

3:53

ablest bullying, and strong language. Listen,

3:56

if you dare.

4:19

He told me your mom

4:21

called

4:22

this place, the blood forest. for

4:25

the way the sunlight bend through the ruby

4:27

Maple leaves in October.

4:32

When you said that,

4:33

there was

4:35

always something in your eye that

4:38

made me think there was more to it. Stuff

4:42

you wouldn't talk about. You

4:44

mean to me? Stuff

4:47

that might make people either pray to their

4:49

god or stop believing in them altogether.

4:55

Now that I'm here, I'm

4:58

starting to feel it.

5:00

Remi in

5:02

the smell of the pineal.

5:05

in the crunch of old beams

5:07

under my bare feet.

5:08

I didn't

5:11

believe you you first told

5:13

me about

5:14

all that lamely have an offer.

5:18

But

5:18

I do now.

5:21

You told me this time would change

5:23

me.

5:24

I'm

5:27

just not sure I know what yet. shit.

5:50

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

5:53

Shit. Shit. Yourself together?

5:56

ah

6:00

ah

6:14

Hey, Rami. Happy

6:18

birthday. I

6:22

I poured half a bottle

6:24

of whiskey down for you yesterday. And

6:27

I may have drunk the other

6:29

half and a half after

6:31

that. And and

6:34

we we were talking about

6:36

having a blowout for your thirtieth.

6:40

But

6:41

this isn't this isn't what we meant.

6:44

Is it?

6:46

How

6:46

are we? We

6:47

were supposed to be drinking beers on the

6:49

porch. Now I mean running

6:51

my mouth to your grave in the family plot.

6:58

God.

7:02

God, what the hell will happen to me?

7:06

Look, buddy.

7:09

I'm trying to

7:11

hold it together.

7:13

she should be drinking

7:16

coffee with your grandma and cousin in

7:18

the morning. It's not me.

7:21

not this stranger who

7:23

who can't keep his heads off a

7:25

band or Jack Daniel's

7:28

shit. There

7:30

she is now. I'm putting it together. Alright.

7:34

Oh, I hit, hey, Eli. You're

7:37

out here all last night.

7:39

I could hear you crying and puking. I'm

7:42

sure Rémi would be real proud.

7:43

Sorry if I was loud.

7:45

I I don't.

7:47

Well, for once she didn't wake a subscreaming

7:49

bloody murder in the middle of the night,

7:50

I guess there was that.

7:53

Happy birthday, Rami. I

7:56

brought you some tools to help me plan. I'm

7:59

just gonna go on. We'll

8:02

watch out for the glass. Seriously? you're

8:05

you're not close to it. Just don't

8:07

don't get any closer to the grave. I'll

8:09

clean you. classy

8:12

as always. Turn out the puke on

8:14

the flowers.

8:25

You know, you were right about Eva?

8:27

She

8:29

is a firecracker man. Where

8:33

boy does she hate me? Oh.

8:37

Yeah.

8:39

Provisions gone a lot worse since we

8:41

are here on that hunting trip. The

8:44

grandma's also fading. guess

8:47

you didn't wanna tell you. She

8:49

probably didn't want you to worry.

8:53

I don't

8:53

know what to do, buddy. I mean,

8:57

I feel like I'm living

8:57

your life. I

8:59

should be grateful to still be breathing

9:02

but

9:05

there are things.

9:07

They come from me when the lights go out that

9:10

I I don't think they're ever going

9:12

away.

9:14

You're right about another thing.

9:18

This town. It's

9:20

spring now. There's something

9:22

about the smell of Eva's fresh tulips

9:25

coming after the brutal winter.

9:28

It's a wok and something in

9:29

Something

9:32

I never thought I'd connect with again.

9:36

Can I say it?

9:38

The days are bright enough. It

9:40

makes dealing with the nights a little easier.

9:45

Whatever's

9:45

out there watching.

9:48

I hope it's you. I

9:50

hope you approve.

9:51

I'm

9:53

doing my best.

9:56

I'm pretty sure it's not enough, but

9:59

wow where I'm at.

10:02

That's

10:03

all I've got.

10:06

Oh,

10:10

shit.

10:15

Eva, Marie.

10:18

Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. Marie. Hang on. I'm

10:20

Excuse me. Let me just Let

10:57

ourselves think, are you okay?

10:59

Ball, none of the sand, my share.

11:04

Well, the good news is your stove

11:11

11:16

11:18

11:20

birthday. It didn't ruin me. It's

11:24

it's okay. You know, you

11:26

shouldn't talk to the dead after

11:29

midnight. It's not safe.

11:32

11:34

12:26

Even your boss.

12:29

Who are you? It's

12:32

14:03

I know Rami. It

14:09

last night. The

14:11

old church in the woods. Now

14:13

there's blood on the moon and the bones

14:15

are waking. Daddy told me it would

14:17

happen again. Let's

14:20

14:32

Hey there, Key Masters.

14:33

This is your maven of mystery,

14:36

Owitz' keys with your keys to

14:38

the truth. We

14:42

Report to back with the mysterious lights

14:49

Also in this episode, I go over evidence

14:51

that the stone walls you find in Maine are actually

14:53

thousands of years old. Also,

14:56

reports that the ghost lights have cataata

14:59

are back. And this time, we are proof with

15:01

a video straight from the Keymaster's hike

15:03

last August.

15:04

Some have tried to debunk this, claiming

15:07

that it's

15:07

just satellites are drunk. No.

15:09

We know the truth. He doesn't live alone. What?

15:13

15:27

So who's picking on you?

15:30

It

15:30

doesn't matter. Of course, it matters.

15:33

It's none of your business. I'm almost

15:35

out of this shit whole school anyway. Okay?

15:38

Just the way to ask. Now

15:40

18:04

all her options the opportunities.

18:07

Doctor Remy, he

18:09

handles all this now.

18:11

See how she is living in a dream

18:13

world? It's not safe

18:15

for her or her granddaughter, not

18:18

that you're even family. Don't you

18:20

fuck with me, John? Bobby language.

18:22

Please. You think just because

18:25

you use fancy words, your mouth isn't

18:27

as foul as mine, because you're

18:29

trying to fuck over an old lady. I

18:32

shouldn't expect more from you, congregating

18:34

as you do in that devil's den, a

18:37

place for the shameful to worship. to

18:39

forget their sins in the bottom of a bottle

18:42

while you gladly empty their wallets. It's

18:45

honest pay for honest work. Now

18:47

get the fuck off this property, John.

18:50

The love of Jesus is waiting for you

18:52

as soon as you can open. Right. The

18:55

fuck. now. The

18:58

offer won't last forever, Marie. If

19:00

you pass it up, the next one will be far

19:02

less appealing. My great

19:05

Great great grandfather

19:07

built this home with his own

19:09

two hands. I was

19:11

born in his house and I will die

19:13

in it. And that day's

19:16

not too far off.

19:19

I'm not afraid of death, Johnson

19:21

Claire. I watched the light

19:23

leave your father's eyes twenty years ago

19:25

during the hunt.

19:26

You can feel

19:28

it coming again. Can't

19:30

you? you're getting the dreams.

19:34

Jesus or locked. If

19:36

you're not careful, John, I'll

19:39

watch it go out in your eyes

19:41

too.

19:43

You you

19:45

devil woman. you

19:47

lowly frogs and you're consortium

19:50

with the devil. Your time

19:52

will come. You'll see.

19:56

One phone call, Bobby, is all

19:58

it takes. She

19:59

belongs in a home and so does

20:02

the girl Bye now, John.

20:05

Have a blessed day.

20:12

Who's

20:14

who was that? No

20:16

one, Marie. Just some lost

20:19

asshole turning around. Oh,

20:22

I see. Oh,

20:25

lovely morning. Isn't it?

20:28

Oh, the leaves are coming in.

20:31

Oh. I love seeing

20:33

everything turn green after the spring

20:35

melt.

20:35

Oh. Oh, and

20:37

look at Eva's tulips. What

20:41

are you and Rémi doing this weekend?

20:44

Wedding, planning?

20:45

No.

20:47

We're we're not. Not not this weekend.

20:51

Hey, would you like some tea?

20:54

That sounds lovely. Did

20:57

you

20:58

know I used to be a race

21:00

car driver?

21:01

You

21:03

never told me that story.

21:05

Oh, yes. Back in the early

21:07

days of the Oxford plane Speedway.

21:09

Oh,

21:12

my father never could abide by it,

21:14

but my uncle Charles wouldn't

This is indeed a

21:24

thunderbolt coming to you from WRC. Amazon

21:29

even notice. So let's throw it on it with another

21:32

rock block. Alright. Turn

21:34

21:37

22:51

the road for good. Are

22:58

Why? Those needed to be off by May

23:00

first. That's another

23:02

ticket.

23:04

But it's only the second. Isn't there a grace

23:06

period? You can protest the ticket if

23:08

you want, but I'm still writing it. speeding,

23:11

illegal studs, invalid

23:13

inspection. Anything

23:16

else I should be aware of? What?

23:19

No.

23:24

23:27

It's nine in the morning. Nine fifteen

23:29

23:31

answer. No.

23:35

I haven't been drinking today. I'm

24:04

Do you have any weapons on

24:06

your person? No. I

24:08

was just dropping my friend off at school.

24:11

Stand there. Don't move.

24:13

Is this really necessary? Funny

24:15

thing. I just received a call

24:17

about a road rage incident at

24:20

the school involving a truck matching this description.

24:23

Would you know anything about that? I'm

24:27

just trying to get the work. AND MY

24:29

DAUGHTER WAS JUST TRYING TO GET TO SCHOOL WHEN SHE

24:31

WAS ACOSTED BY A MAN TOOLLS

24:33

HER AND A COSTED, IIII

24:35

DIDN'T ACAST ANYONE I

24:39

let her know she was blocking traffic.

24:42

How's that? But

24:45

I might have yelled at the window a bit.

24:47

You mean disorderly conduct in a

24:49

school zone. In addition

24:52

to criminal speeding in an illegal

24:54

vehicle while fleeing the scene of an assault

24:56

on a minor. Quite the

24:58

morning crime spree you have going. Yeah.

25:03

You're right. I may have overreacted.

25:07

You still have a Massachusetts license?

25:11

know, you were supposed to get that updated within thirty

25:13

days of moving here?

25:17

No, ma'am. Sheriff.

25:19

You

25:21

can get back in your car now. Wait

25:26

here.

25:37

Come on.

25:39

Come on. shit. Why is she taking

25:41

so long?

25:48

Here are your tickets. I

25:51

need you to sign there, initial

25:53

there. If you

25:55

wanna contest, there's information on the back.

25:59

five hundred dollars.

26:02

Okay. I

26:04

get it. I'm sorry.

26:06

didn't know she was your daughter. It won't happen

26:08

again. You have thirty days to pay

26:10

or a warrant will be issued for your arrest. Seriously?

26:14

I know all about your racket with the Pelletier

26:16

family. You might have them full,

26:19

but not me. While you're

26:21

in my town, you followed by my rules.

26:24

You understand?

26:26

Understood. Sheriff.

26:31

Have

26:31

a good day now, citizen.

26:35

It's

26:37

ranked trading here in Florida where the Bailey campus

26:40

are up against a classic rival with

26:42

any apple shoe.

26:43

Branky boy. Nice of you

26:45

to make it in. Yeah.

26:47

I'm sorry, man. crazy morning. Wow.

26:51

That's with all the gear. Gamecam

26:54

got some weird movements last night and

26:56

went on the Fritz Probably local

26:58

kids, but we'll see here in a few. We

27:01

also have to check and upgrade all

27:03

the camps back there. Clyde's on tear about

27:05

something. I'm guessing he just

27:07

blew ten grand on surveillance. Hard

27:10

to believe it's worth spending that kind of money to

27:12

snoop on the agility boys. Yeah.

27:15

I doubt those inbred dipshits are coming back.

27:18

But who knows? Yeah. It's a tax

27:20

write off. Alright. Let's check

27:22

it out. Let's go through the grow room.

27:30

Nature's

27:34

nectar, my friend. It's

27:36

really the finest green, the side of Boston,

27:38

the side a Lewiston maybe, and even

27:40

that's up for debate. Kinda

27:43

fucked you asked me. The folks like

27:45

Clyde who are all holier than now about weed

27:47

in the prohibition days suddenly get religion

27:49

and start cashing in when it gets legal.

27:52

That's what happens when you run the town, I

27:54

guess. Yeah. you say

27:56

all that in the job interview? I'm

27:58

just glad he hired me with a

27:59

couple of possession charges on my record.

28:03

Man, when I was in high school, Our only

28:05

hookup was this old dude who grew some skunk

28:07

weed down the street from the barnyard currently

28:09

shacked up and we usually

28:12

had to go to the city for anything better.

28:15

Now, when you say the city, you

28:18

mean Simpson Falls? Yeah.

28:20

That's what I thought.

28:26

What's on your mind, Frank?

28:28

Nothing.

28:30

Just

28:33

This this isn't the life

28:35

I'd imagine for myself out here

28:38

pretending to be my friend keep his memory

28:40

impaired grandmother from losing her shares.

28:44

Alzheimer's is the worst. My

28:47

pops at it. In his final

28:49

few months, he was straight up, surfing

28:51

the multiverse. She

28:53

getting worse. You know, we

28:55

grew in the house down this morning. Still

28:58

calls me Rami. Given up

29:00

trying to correct her,

29:01

I just can't stand to shatter a world again.

29:04

You

29:04

know what I say? Preserving

29:07

that fragile bubble of her reality

29:09

is a gift. It is a

29:11

legit act of kindness, dude. Thanks.

29:16

Oh, this should be the whoa.

29:21

That fuck. But

29:23

the hell tore up those trip wires must

29:26

be an animal, big one by

29:28

the looks of it, Maybe.

29:33

You think someone was out here? Hang

29:36

on. I think I see something by

29:38

that big oak. What

29:43

is that smell bad whatever

29:46

it is, just made it.

29:51

Jesus

29:54

put the fuck even if was

29:56

that? Some

29:59

kind of coyote?

29:59

Multiple

30:02

coyotes. don't know.

30:06

What are the main words can have visited coyote?

30:08

I thought there weren't any big predators out here.

30:11

There aren't that supposed to be

30:14

anyway. That's

30:17

three bodies. all coyotes?

30:21

Not enough left to be sure, but

30:23

that leg over there looks like coyote or

30:27

wolf or thought maybe.

30:29

I don't know how to do some kind of gain on.

30:33

What leg? The

30:35

one over there to

30:38

What did I just step up? Oh,

30:40

no way. Yeah.

30:43

Pretty sure that was an eyeball. Whoa. for

30:47

some kind. Yeah. Yeah. That

30:50

looks like contestants in the three dude. What

30:52

the fuck happened here? Oh

30:54

god. Alright,

30:57

pal. You know, I think

30:59

we can safely rule out the elderly clan.

31:01

They'd have thrown it on the grill and poured a waffle

31:03

over it. Wait.

31:07

What are these? What?

31:10

Footprints? like

31:13

You're gonna love it here in Queens. Everyone's

33:41

so creative and cool. I

33:43

know you're gonna shine here. You

33:46

should have heard the band we went to see

33:48

last night. The singer was

33:50

almost as good as you I

33:52

really don't sing well. Only

33:54

because dumbass kids around you

33:56

don't get you. I do either

33:59

and

33:59

I love your voice. Oh, you

34:02

know, I prefer to bang the drums. Though

34:04

I don't think they'll make the trip. Kinda

34:06

all at the hall in the subway, you know?

34:08

Don't you worry

34:10

about that? I'll help you.

34:12

We can even rent the car. Just

34:15

Well, there is one thing we should

34:18

talk about,

34:19

which makes things

34:21

more complicated. Yeah.

34:26

Never mind. I gotta

34:27

go. Eva, are things okay?

34:29

last morning.

34:30

Yeah. Me too.

34:32

Your creepy drifter boyfriend went off road

34:34

rage

34:35

on me over a parking spot.

34:37

Yeah.

34:38

He isn't my boyfriend, and I'm pretty

34:40

sure you were blocking traffic. Mitch,

34:42

I wasn't. But of course,

34:44

you can't see that. Maybe that's a

34:46

blessing because you can't see how ugly

34:49

you are or how stupid you

34:51

look in that red hoodie. Hey.

34:54

Why are you hiding your phone?

34:57

Yeah. Who are you talking

34:58

to?

35:01

Nobody. Maybe you have

35:04

to wear those special glasses to

35:06

see them. Let

35:10

me buy. Hey, Eva.

35:12

Listen here. I already

35:14

told my mom with your hope a boyfriend

35:16

it said to me and if you He isn't

35:18

my boyfriend. so gross.

35:20

What is he like thirty? You

35:22

should probably get tested.

35:24

He should probably

35:26

get tested. And what's

35:28

up with him in personating your cousin? We

35:31

saw them at the grocery store last week, and

35:33

your grandma was totally calling him remy.

35:35

Oh, that is a Social Security

35:37

scam. No. You can go to jail for

35:39

that. Oh. Right? Becker's

35:41

mom loves to buzz scammers. He

35:43

isn't impersonating him. My hair just gets

35:46

confused sometimes. Leave me alone.

35:48

He's probably banging her too. You

35:51

can tell

35:51

us, Eva. Are you having

35:53

freaky three ways with your put and brain

35:56

grandma and your transient living in

35:58

your barn? I

36:00

think I just threw

36:01

off a little. Becca

36:07

Cartiff. I'm coming to you. Say

36:09

it by the bell. BRIAK.

36:11

See you around.

36:12

Know yourself. bitch.

36:14

Let's go.

36:23

You okay, Frank? Oh,

36:26

we should stop asking me that. I

36:28

will when I believe what you tell me.

36:32

I'm fine. See,

36:35

I'm gonna ask you again in an hour.

36:39

Sacho. I

36:40

wasn't through.

36:41

Hey,

36:44

Sacho.

36:45

Right on time as always. Go

36:47

on anybody.

36:48

I can't

36:50

believe we have four hours of footage and nothing.

36:53

A shadow.

36:56

It

36:56

was a big shadow.

36:59

Poor people's big big shadows. It's

37:01

a dire wolf. hundred percent.

37:04

We're gonna be fucking famous.

37:08

Look sharp boss man is here.

37:10

afternoon,

37:13

gentlemen. Hey, mister Walker. Afternoon,

37:16

sir. You sort out that

37:18

issue with the cam. Yes,

37:21

37:25

You too smell like beer and

37:27

vomit. You drinking on the job? No,

37:30

sir.

37:31

What Tommy was trying to

37:34

tell you was there was something

37:36

really big which tore up some coyote's back

37:38

there.

37:39

Good. Fucking hate those things.

37:42

Well, sir, it was pretty gruesome

37:45

what you wanna have a funeral for

37:47

them. You never struck

37:49

me as the sentimental types.

37:52

Can't catch anything? No.

37:55

but it was out of frame. Sounds

37:57

like you need to get off your lazy asses

37:59

and hang those new cams. Yeah.

38:04

Of course, then make it

38:06

happen. Oh, and you cleaned

38:08

it up. Right? No.

38:12

We Don't you have a cleaning crew for that?

38:14

Unfortunately, for me,

38:17

I have you two fuck wads.

38:19

get to it. Alright? If we

38:22

get a cleaning crew in here,

38:24

we're gonna suddenly find ourselves talking

38:26

to fish and wildlife just take

38:28

care of it.

38:30

Yeah.

38:32

What?

38:33

Hold on. I

38:35

need to take this call out both of you.

38:38

After you clean up, go down to the dock,

38:40

and keep an eye on this Paco

38:42

guy picking up a shipment. I don't

38:44

trust him.

38:45

Sanchez? He's been working

38:48

for the dispensaries since it opened. Never

38:50

had a problem watch him.

38:52

He does anything shady. You

38:55

call the sheriff.

39:01

Fucking asshole.

39:05

Roadhouse after.

39:07

Oh,

39:09

39:15

Hey,

39:25

Two for biebernide, my

39:28

favorite.

39:31

How is Marie today?

39:34

Like she is most days, you know, distant.

39:37

Living in another time. And she

39:40

asked me how things were going with the wedding

39:42

planning.

39:42

Sorry.

39:45

Yeah. Well, you

39:46

know what? I'm used to it. Now

39:48

39:53

I chased him off.

39:54

Funny

39:55

39:57

around me. Isn't that

39:59

So how about a voice?

40:02

You're ordering food? You know, I gotta

40:04

40:16

McEntire. Hey, Tommy. Only

40:18

person in this fucking town who brings a book to

40:20

the roadhouse.

40:21

Nice to see you. What can I say?

40:24

40:26

in this town.

40:29

Oh, hey Langley Roadhouse.

40:33

whoa. Holy shit. She's back

40:35

in town. Now when she's around, human

Anything happened here, anymore UFO

on the Ridge Road? Oh, play

41:10

41:12

41:14

into the woods. Your paper said it

41:16

was a Bobcat, so you know what I'm used to say.

41:18

Do not tell Alex

41:21

anything about those coyotes. It land

41:23

upon a crazy podcast, and you and I

41:25

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we went

41:58

to that. Yeah. Sorry. I

41:59

don't recognize you.

42:01

Oh, it's probably because she changes her hair color

42:03

every other day. Cool.

42:05

Zoe, I've missed you.

42:08

Yeah. Movie

42:10

night, it just isn't quite the same without you.

42:13
