POPPY WHITE: Coming this fall,
Only Murderers In The Building.

- That's very good. I wrote that.

- What did happen that night?

MABEL MORA:
The killer stabs Bunny, and then leaves

through the hole in
the bottom of my closet.

Bunny said, "14 Savage."

Kreps is Glitter Guy.

CHARLES-HADEN SAVAGE:
But why would Kreps kill Bunny?

I mean, did he want her painting?

- There's no way that you could pull off
a murder this sophisticated.

- I said that's enough!

If I'm so stupid,

how come I was able to land
the smartest woman on the planet?

CINDA CANNING: [on podcast]

MABEL: This all has something to do with
All is Not OK In Oklahoma.

POPPY:

This is Channel 37 News,

reporting on the disappearance
of Becky Butler,

a local Chickasha native and a member

of Mayor Tipton's executive team,

who went missing last week.

Authorities have no leads

It's about a young woman

in Oklahoma. She disappeared.

- Lot of girls disappear, Poppy.

- Yeah, but, um,

she was being harassed
by the mayor of a small town,

and his campaign slogan was,
"It's All Gonna Be OK."

Um, "OK" as in "Oklahoma,"

and I thought All is Not OK In Oklahoma

would be a good title for a podcast.

- I like your style.

Missing or dead?

- Excuse me?
- The girl.

- Missing.

- Well, let's hope she's dead.

For it to even have a chance,
I'd really need her dead.

Ideally murdered.
Ooh! And by that mayor.

That would be amazing.

I'm sorry. Uh, what exactly do you want?

Becky Butler's disappearance,

She's, uh, right here.

She's just looking a little piqued to me.

Look, this is what I suggest.

Use it, okay?
