- My goal is to solve the
unsolvable.

Whew.

Testing, one, two, three.

This is "Susie
Searches," episode 83.

Hi, my name is Susie Wallis

and ever since I
was a young girl,

I've had a very special talent.

- The old oak tree visible
through the window.

- The pool boy did it.

- We're only on page 10, Susie.

Besides, most mystery writers
create red herrings that-

- Trust me.

- Is this even fun anymore?

- So much fun.

- But you've already figured out

that the sheriff
double crossed the FBI-

- I don't care,
it's our tradition.

It's okay, mom.

I can do the reading today.

- You sure?

- Absolutely.

- Wouldn't you rather
be out with friends?

- The other kids don't
like me very much.

- Their loss.

You're special, Susie.

And one day, the whole
world is gonna know it.

I'm serious.

You just need to get
your voice out there.

- For my new listeners,

I don't mention this
childhood talent

for the sake of bragging,

but because I want
you to know who I am

and why I chose to do this show.

I wanna solve the unsolvable.

I wanna bring resolution to
the most haunting mysteries.

And I think you'll love what
we discuss in today's episode.

It's a cold case, August, 1999.

It takes place in a
town just like our own.

A shopkeeper's body was found

with two sets of
fingerprints on her neck.

Both by men who had been
dead for over a decade.

More soon on "Susie Searches."

Once the podcast takes off,

and we can monetize
from sponsorships,

I'm gonna find us a new house.

Something with big windows,
beautiful views, lots of light.

Okay, love you.

- Hey.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, you
can't put that there.

- What do you mean? Why not?

- The red board is for
Student Council only.

- Oh, you must be new here.

Susie.

See, I do this every week.

So, I mean, unless you
wanna spend a long afternoon

in front of the
Extra-Curricular Committee

testifying against why you
felt the need to silence

the voice of a passionate
student, which I
wouldn't suggest-

- Uh, uh, just leave it.

- Good technique, Susie.

Great technique.

Excellent disposal protocol.

- Thanks.

- You know, in a world
of swirling chaos,

it's important to control
what little we can

and cleanliness matters.

- Yes.

- It matters, you know.

It's what separates
us from the animals.

You understand?

- Yes.

- Good, good.

Well, let us return then
to our most noble goal,

the nurturing of
great future minds.

- Yeah.

- Wow, you're like the most
obsessive person I've ever met.

No wonder it's taking you a
million years to graduate.

- I'm a part-time
student, Jillian.

We can't afford a live-in nurse.

My mother, she's-

- I'm kidding, geez.

Don't need the back story.

I'm just eating a sandwich.

- Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

How can I help?

- I'm kind of busy today.

- I know, that's why I asked.

- And you know, I'm consuming
over 300 grams of protein

per day in order to thicken
up my posterior delts.

- That sounds dangerous.

- Why are you smiling?

- I don't know, just
my natural expression.

- Right, this is a
serious place of work.

You know, we're not
flipping burgers.

- Oh yes, I would love to learn

whatever it is
that you're doing.

- Well, mostly I'm just
cataloging evidence

before transferring
it to the lab.

You know, on TV shows,

they get the DNA results
back in like 48 hours.

But in real life,
it can take months.

- Hmm.

- Is that enough
instruction for today?

- Mm-hmm.

- All right, why don't you
get the Sheriff his coffee.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Over here, hurry.

I think I spotted my
first sandhill crane.

- Hi, I'm-

- Shit.

It's just a plastic bag.

My wife's got me
into bird watching.

She said with this job, I
need some kind of outlet.

- Oh, that's nice.

- I thought so too.

- Yeah.

You should try to incorporate
something a bit more active.

Studies show that police
officers who suffer

from chronic stress respond
well to movement and exercise.

- I'm sorry, what's
your name again?

- Susie Wallis.

- Listen, Susie, I'm
sure we appreciate

all you do around here,
but as you can see,

I'm buried in work, so.

- Hmm, no problem.

Two and a half brown sugars
and a splash of cream.

Just how you like it.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

- Sheriff Loggins.

- What is it, Sophie?

- Pick up your phone,

we've got a situation unfolding.

- Is it the mayor again?

- No, sir.

It's about a Wade College
student named Jesse Wilcox.

Apparently he's been
missing for two days.

- News of their
missing classmate

has shaken the students
of this intimate college.

- The son of a local
real estate magnate,

Jesse built an immense
social media following

through his meditation videos.

- And I just wanted to read a
poem that I've been writing.

The trees are broken,
but Earth is open.

I was hopin' we take a moment.

That's the poem
for today guys and-

- As we all know,
it's been a week

since the disappearance
of Jesse Wilcox,

one of Wade College's
most popular students

and no one in Ohio seems
to have any answers.

That's why I've begun working
on my own investigation.

More soon on "Susie Searches."

- Hey, have you
heard about Jesse Wilcox?

He's been missing
for over a week.

- That's crazy,

I didn't even know
he's missing that long.

- Hey, did you hear about Jesse?

- Yeah, yeah man,
that's really fucked up.

- Have you seen
Jesse's meditation videos?

- His ex-girlfriend
was heartbroken.

- What
kind of a psycho?

- In a missing person's case,

every day that goes by
significantly lowers

the success rate
of finding them.

- Maybe Jesse just
went to like, Vegas

and didn't tell anyone.

- Doesn't fit his
behavioral patterns.

Plus, he missed
his keynote address

at the new media
conference on Friday.

- Hey guys, so before
we finish class,

President Andrews wanted
me to share with you

a little more information
about your classmate,

Jesse Wilcox.

He is a communications major

and his meditation
channel on YouTube

has gained a national following.

I'll show you.

- Oh, didn't see you there.

What's up, guys?

I feel something in my head.

Oh yeah, this is
my Be Kind beanie.

That's the thing about
meditation that I love the most.

There are times where
I will just meditate

for hours and hours
and hours and hours

and like, I won't
even fall asleep once.

My mom's like, dinner's ready.

I'm like, dinner?

Like, I started in the morning.

'Cause there's
just too much hate,

there's just too much hate.

Like, on our phones,
on Instagram, on TikTok

and like, when the
world has a lot of hate,

it's time to meditate and
I've been saying that for,

I don't even know, years.

I like to pick a note, mine's C.

Nah, just play it.

I feel better, do you?

Remember, love yourself,
laugh a lot, live your life.

Don't get down, be kind.

- And again, that is your
classmate, Jesse Wilcox.

And if anyone has any
clues to his disappearance,

they're encouraged to call
the Taskforce Hotline.

Thank you.

- You may be
familiar with the Wilcox name.

Lawrence Wilcox
recently made headlines

after his third charge
of disorderly conduct.

- In other local
news, Selma Peterson's prized

Shetland Sheepdog, Whiskers

Was taken from his yard.

- Lunch break is only
20 minutes, I told you.

- Two weeks
involving the disappearance

of a local pet.

- It's so sad.

He totally ate here
like, every day.

I've never seen anyone like
those gross vegan burgers

as much as he did.

- Have any reporters
contacted you?

- Yeah, some for interviews,

but I'm holding out
for national news.

- Yeah?

- Absolutely.

My cousin works at
Dateline in New York.

Said there's a huge chance
this story will explode.

- You think he's dead?

- 100%.

- That's so dark.

- I know.

- Anyway,
are you coming to-

- Did you guys hear
about Jesse's uncle?

Lawrence Wilcox used
to be the Vice Chairman

of the family real
estate company up
until like a year ago.

He's not even listed
on any of the boards.

Jesse's dad must have-

- Wow, you're such
a little stalker.

- I'm gonna be famous
one day, Jillian,

when I solve this case
and become a big hero.

- Okay, awesome.

That will rock, I can't wait.

- As I investigate
Jesse's uncle,

clearly the black sheep
of the Wilcox family,

the first thing I try to figure
out is, who is he really?

I mean, what makes him tick?

- Well, that's, I tell
people this all the time,

you have to accept
that the market

is like this living,
breathing entity.

- If that leads nowhere,
does he have any secrets?

What about any
abnormal behavior?

What could he be hiding?

Exhaust that road.

I mean, leave no stone unturned.

The internet is vast,

you're bound to find something
if you just look hard enough.

- Grab hands, grab virtual hands

and try and connect to
the parts of ourselves

that are peaceful.

- Countless
interviews have been conducted

in the investigation
into the disappearance

of Wade College
student, Jesse Wilcox,

according to the
special agent in charge.

- Love yourself, laugh a lot.

Live your life, be
kind, don't forget.

- But
let's stay focused.

One thing that caught
my attention is the fact

that Lawrence, along
with Jesse's father, Roy,

is a real estate magnate.

He has a bunch of
different properties,

all with different names.

A little odd if you ask me.

But one in particular stood out.

Starboard Inc.

And I can't wait to
share what I learned

with the Sheriff's department.

- Right? Okay.

Yep, I'm on it.

- How can I help?

- By bugging someone else.

- But I actually think I
might have a pretty good lead.

- Really? Then go
tell the Sheriff.

- Okay.

- I'm kidding, Susie,
don't bother him.

- Why do I think the culprit

is Jesse's uncle,
Lawrence Wilcox?

Well, let me count the ways.

First of all, Lawrence is
known for his erratic behavior.

Behavior so unreliable
that Jesse's dad

had to sever all business ties,

thus giving Lawrence a
motive to get back at him

and what would scare
his brother most of all?

Taking his most prized
possession, his only child.

Secondly, Lawrence has been
charged with disorderly conduct

on multiple occasions.

I mean, for someone
with his temperament,

kidnapping Jesse wouldn't
be so far-fetched.

And lastly, Lawrence has over
a dozen unlisted properties

all over the township that
no one has looked into.

I know this because I work
at the Sheriff's department.

And no one there listened to me.

I have now reached
the third property

owned by Starboard Inc.,

one of Lawrence
Wilcox's many LLCs.

The site appears to be deserted,

but I will proceed with caution.

Again, I will do nothing
to put myself in danger.

I'm not breaking in.

I'm simply collecting
information.

Wish me luck.

Haven't found anything yet.

But it's possible...

I'm just not looking
in the right place.

Update, I have descended
below the house.

Obviously, I can't
know for sure,

but I see the faint
outline of footsteps.

- I'm Susie.

Susie, Susie Wallis.

It's okay.

Ssh, it's okay.

It's okay.

- And in
one of the year's most

remarkable stories, it appears
that a local college student

has rescued her
kidnapped classmate.

The details are
still pouring in.

We fully expect this
to be an ongoing store.

- I can confirm that
at 1:34 AM last night,

we received a phone call
from a farmhouse in Ridley.

It was at that location that
we discovered Jesse Wilcox.

He appeared in a state of
shock, but without injury.

That's all we are prepared
to say at this point.

- Whoa, whoa, what about the
student that found him first?

- Well, all credit
where credit's due.

We wouldn't have been
able to do any of this

without our department intern,
who I'm reluctant to name,

given that the suspect
is still at large,

but she knows who she is.

- Multiple news outlets
have already reported

her name is Susie Wallis.

- I cannot confirm or deny that,

but I would like to
reiterate that we are-

- Mom!

- Numerous leads and this
department will not rest

until we bring him to justice.

- Why don't you ask
the girl for help?

- Isn't it amazing?

- I just wanna take a moment

to thank all of my new listeners

for the outpouring of support.

I promise every one of you that
I'll be working just as hard

on my future cases.

This is only the beginning.

More soon on "Susie Searches."

- So, do you wanna get
together this weekend

for the new report?

- I'll have to
check my schedule.

- Yeah, of course.

- They're running
a six-part series

about the Lindbergh Kidnappings

and it's one of my
all-time favorites,

even though he was
a literal Nazi.

- Hi there, I was just
contacted by President Andrews.

They need you right
away in Casper Hall.

- Can it wait?

I'm not gonna lie, I'm
really looking forward

to mixing tritants and analytes.

- Ah, they said it was urgent.

- There she is.

Aw.

- What's going on?

- Okay, so sorry to spring
this on you

but KWST local news called,
they had a quick opening

and they wanted to chat
with our famous students.

- That's good.

- Great, so why don't
you just take a seat

next to Jesse there.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Listen, Susie, I just-

- No, you...

You really don't have to.
- No, listen.

I owe my life to you, okay.

And you just rock, you know.

- What a story.

I don't even know
where to begin.

Let's start with you, Jesse.

I can't be the only person

who's fallen in love with
you from your videos.

- Oh, stop.

How are you doing?

- I'm good.

I'm real good.

- Fantastic.

Susie, tell us everything
from your perspective.

- Um...

You know, I found out on the
news, like everyone else did.

- Well, that's
amazing.

- And he just seemed
like a really good kid

and I was tired of
nothing happening.

- Susie is captain humble and...

'Cause you know, I remember

learning about heroes
in school, like

like, Mesopotamia, Romans, like
the kids in "Hunger Games."

- Oh, I love "Hunger
Games," are you kidding?

- But I never thought I'd
be sitting next to one.

And I am.

- Wow.

I just got chills.

Did you get chills?
I just got chills.

Good, I think that's good.
- That's it.

- Fantastic job you two.

Oh my God, wow.

- Okay, really?

That was fun, I think.

- Yeah.

I liked it.

- Oh, thank you.

What are you doing
tomorrow night?

Do you wanna have dinner?

- Yes.

- Yeah, they make this
mean vegan burger...

You're good?

They make this amazing
vegan burger at this place,

House Haven, you
know House Haven?

It's amazing, so great.

- Cool.

- Yeah, let's go.

- I'll see you there.

- Okay.

Bye Susie.
- Oh.

- Cool, do you want
my, you want the thing?

- Celebrity alert, celebrity
alert, celebrity alert.

Oh, man, it's our
own resident Sherlock Holmes.

I saw you, my lady,
on the news today.

- Oh, thanks.
- Yeah, yeah.

No, thank you.

I mean, you've done this
humble snack bar a huge honor,

Ms. Wallis, so for
that I salute you.

- I was just doing
my civic duty.

- Civic duty, you're darn right

because it's our responsibility
to clean up society's trash,

both literally and
metaphorically.

- The guy is a real weirdo.

Don't worry, you still
take the cake though.

- Hey.
- Susie!

Everyone, this is Susie.

- Hey.

- I mean, duh, not that
you need an introduction.

Come sit.

I think you're gonna love
this place, it's amazing.

And everybody's so nice here.

Like, they came over and just
gave us everything for free.

- Yeah, I think they're so nice

because you're kind
of a celebrity now.

- No way.

- Yes, way.

You're a celebrity, dude.

- What do you think Susie?

Are we celebrities? You and me?

- I don't know.

- It's so awesome that you came

'cause I'm sure
you're like so busy.

- Yep.

- Yeah, you're like
a genuine hero.

- Ray's your biggest fan.

- It's so embarrassing.

- He's your biggest
fan, big Susie posters,

he made t-shirts, everything.

- Oh, he's right though.

I've read probably
every article about you.

And I just, I have
so many questions.

- Look, she probably just
wants to relax though.

- Yeah, right.

- Well, what do you wanna know?

- Well, I guess I'm
just like still curious

how you found him.

- Um, well, I learned
in the county registrar

that Lawrence had three
foreclosed properties

and they were all
located in the same area-

- Wait, also that, why do you
use the same exact wording

in every interview I've heard?

- Chill out.

Why are you grilling her?

Susie, I think Ray
is very jealous

he didn't solve it himself.

- I don't know, maybe I'm
just anxious in general

'cause you know, your
uncle is still out there.

What if he comes back?

- Well, he's not a bad guy.

I think he just has anger issues

and you know, he pulled a prank
that he took a little far.

- What do
you think, Susie?

I mean, you're the expert.

- Hey Jesse.

Hey, look, I know that this
is really tough for you.

I do, but it'll
all be over soon.

- Whoa, you okay?

- I am...

I have to go.

- Oh no, are you sure?

- I have French history
tomorrow and it's just,

it's a lot, yeah.

- Okay, I'll walk
you to your car.

- It was really nice
to meet you guys.

- What's your problem?

- This is really nice,
but you didn't have to.

- Oh, yes I did, you
needed protection.

- I carry pepper spray
and a butterfly knife.

- You do?

- Yeah.

- Of course you do.

Well, you should
'cause there's people

getting kidnapped out here, so.

Hey Susie, wait.

Can I tell you something?

- Yeah, of course.

- I think about you every hour.

I wouldn't be here without you.

I wouldn't be walking around

and I wouldn't be breathing
the air and looking at the sky

and I mean...

Thank you, thank you.

You get the idea, sorry.

- It was a fluke thing.

- No it wasn't.

BS, I've listened
to every single one

of your podcast episodes.

Every single one.

- Really?

- It blows my mind actually.

But I wanted to ask you,

like, why are you so
obsessed with true crime?

- Um, well, growing up,

my happiest memories were
of my mom reading to me

and they were always
detective novels.

But the thing was, I could
always guess the real culprit

like, every single
time.

She said that I had a gift
and that I should be famous.

- She's right.

- I mean, ever since
she was diagnosed with MS,

I told myself that I
would prove her right.

Yeah, I'm not really sure

she even knows what's
going on anymore.

- You know what,
I'm sure she does.

- Anyways, I love your videos.

- Stop.

- No, really, my mom always said

kindness is the most
valuable currency.

- So true.

- Yeah, sometimes she
would shout, be kind,

when she would drop me
- She would?

- Off at school.
- That's incredible.

- Yeah.
- She stole my line.

- Yeah.

Jesse, you just have this thing

where you communicate
with people so naturally.

There was this FBI agent in
the 1930s, Charles Winstead,

and he had the same thing
and he was kind of a legend

in his department.

He was very well respected.

- That's so cool.

You see, like who's
Charles Winstead?

That's so cool,

you're so smart.
- But I just told you.

- Since your story broke,

applications are
up 300%.

Local awareness is
at an all-time high

and alumni donations
have doubled.

- That's cool.

- I mean, who would've thought
that this true crime stuff

was so big with your generation.

But this, this
could really change things.

Are you ready for
some more big news?

- Sure, yeah.

- We have been contacted by a
national morning show

They wanna interview
you this weekend.

- I mean, do...

Do we think that's
like a little much?

- Jesse, you've just
suffered a terrible ordeal.

Am I right?

If Susie's heroism could
inspire even one person

to make a difference, hmm, hmm,

isn't that worth it?

- Yeah, of course.

- Yes, of course.

So the studio's
located in Cincinnati,

of course, they'll cover all
your travel and hotel expenses.

Just make sure to
mention that Wade College

is currently ranking number
12 for pre-med in Ohio.

So Susie, what do you think?

- Oh, I'm...

I'm so happy.

- Ah, that is terrific.

- Jillian, why do you
think I'm talking to you?

- I don't know.

- Well, because I found
several wild berry flavored

water bottles on the top shelf.

- Yeah.
- Of the storage cabinet.

- Exactly, right next to
the other water bottles.

- No, no.

Okay, flavored water is on the
shelf below except for lemon.

- You're insane.

- No, I'm not, I
just have a system.

- Okay, well maybe you
just need to loosen up.

- Disorder means chaos.

If everybody does what you do,

the fucking world
is gonna fall apart.

Just do what I'm saying.

- Susie.

Did you see that shit?

- What?

- Edgar, he practically
assaulted me

and this isn't like
the first time either.

The other day-

- Can we chat?

- Uh, I guess.

- I'm talking to Susie,
I don't know who you are.

- Oh.

Yeah, fine whatever

but this definitely counts
as your lunch break.

- It's embarrassing.

- What is?

- The reason I called you here.

I wanna talk to you
about Jesse's uncle.

- Lawrence.

- I know his name.

No one can find him.

I mean, the state has
officials looking into it,

but I wanna prove myself.

- I'm sure you'll find him.

- I appreciate everything
you've done, you know,

but it's only a matter of time

before people start
pointing fingers,

wondering why I haven't
been more effective.

- Of course I'll help.

- Thank God.

Can I tell you something?

- Sure.

- But I don't want you
to take it the wrong way.

- Okay.

- There's this kind of bird
native to New Zealand, the Kea.

It's the most curious in
the world, super smart too.

Some say it outscores even
apes in intelligence exams.

But it's mischievous,
always causing trouble.

- What are you saying?

Are you calling me a Kea?

- I don't know.

Probably just reading
too many bird books.

- Bet you think
you're big shit now.

- No, not really.

- Sheriff says I should
be more accommodating,

so I'm adding you to the
internal mail server.

- Amazing.

- Don't get too excited,

it doesn't have
anything confidential,

but at least you'll
be up to date.

I'll also start handing
off more responsibilities.

- Like organizing evidence?

- I'm not a fucking idiot, but
I'll teach you more about it.

- I would love that.

- Oh, time to build
some boulder shoulders.

Ah, get outta my chair.

- Ray.

- Oh, Susie.

- Hey, why are you following me?

- Um...

- That's not an answer.

- Jesse, he gave me shit for
not being nice enough to you.

- Oh, that's sweet.

- Yeah, well, he's a sweetheart.

Just don't fuck with him.

- I don't understand.

- Look, I know he seems
super vanilla, right?

Mr. Be Kind.

But he's a lot more
complicated than that.

And he only needs people
in his life right now

that he can trust.

- He can trust me.

- Okay.

It's good to see you.

- I think
about you every hour

and I wouldn't be breathing
the air and looking at the sky

and I mean, I wouldn't
be here without you.

- This is really crazy.

- Yeah.

- But it's good too, I think.

- Yeah, totally.

- I love your outfit by the way.

- Oh.
- Love.

- Thank you, you look good too.

- Thank you.

Do I?

- Yeah, it looks good.

You know, these interviews,

they sometimes lead to even
bigger shows reaching out.

- Honestly, I'm
fine with just like-

- And I mean, like "After
Hours with Hayden Powers" big.

I read once that
if Hayden Powers

mentions your book just
once on their show,

it instantly becomes a
Best Seller, like that.

So just think about us.

- You mean, like all
the good we could do?

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

- So happy to have
you guys here.

- Well, I'm just lucky
to be anywhere at all.

- Amen.

- Let's start with Susie,
Ohio's own Nancy Drew.

- If any of our viewers can
even get that reference.

- So, take us through
your investigation.

- Well, I know Jesse
from around campus,

he was like our local celebrity.

He's cute too, so.

- What? I didn't know
you thought that.

- Yeah.

- Well, I think most of
America agrees with you, Susie.

- Can I say something?

This whole ordeal
was really terrible,

but honestly it's been worth it

to have gained someone
like Susie in my life.

- Wow, wow.

- Well, I have to ask, what
is your next case, Susie?

- Passing chemistry 402.

- That was so fun.

- Mm-hmm, yeah.

- Is it wrong that
it felt so fun?

- I don't think so.

- Okay, good 'cause
it was really fun.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm loving your
hair, it looks so good.

- Thank you.

- That makeup artist is a
genius, I love what she did.

- Thanks.

- Oh my God.

It's so nice to eat again.

- What do you mean?

- Um...

I've had a little bit of
trouble since it all happened.

- I made you a vegan patty
with some brown rice.

It's not very warm, but
it should still be good.

- Somebody help me!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Help me!

- Hey, hey, hey, we're too
far away, no one can hear you.

I don't want you to
stress yourself out.

Hey, relax.

No one is gonna hurt you.

I need you to
start eating, okay.

You just hang in there.

Everything's going to be okay.

It's like my mom
always used to say,

whenever you're anxious,
just take three deep breaths

and imagine an ocean breeze.

- What's wrong?

- What?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good, I'm fine.

So what should we do tonight?

- I don't know, what
do you wanna do?

- What do you wanna do?

- I don't...

- You know what we could
do, is we could go,

just try and find a movie,
like movie theater around here.

Yeah, that's cool.

- Oh, you know what we could do?

We could sneak up to the roof

and just lay down and
look at the stars.

- I would love that.

- Dad, the interview
went so well

and like, you couldn't
see my pimples at all

on the left side.

The makeup lady
had this great...

What?

No.

Oh shit.

Holy shit.

Wait, slow down.

Um...

Okay, yeah, I'll call you back.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

- What is it?

- Oh my God, check the news.

Do you know what this means?

This means my uncle
wasn't the kidnapper.

- It's an early report.

- No, he's been in Peru
for the last six months.

- We should wait for
more information.

- I gotta go, I have to go.

I owe him an apology.

Hey, I'm really sorry.

You didn't have to
come back with me.

- It's okay, wouldn't have
been much fun by myself.

- What?

- Nothing.

- We'll do a rain check.

- Yeah.

- All right.

Good?

Good night.

- Good night.

- See you soon.

- Mom?

Are you still up?

- Easy Susie.

I thought you were spending
the night in Cincinnati.

- I'm calling the cops.

- Don't.

- Stay back.

- I just wanna talk
this out, okay.

- Stay back.

- I promise, I'm not gonna
tell anybody what I found.

- I have no idea what
you're talking about.

- Jesse was wearing this
hat the day he disappeared.

- Put it down.

- You can tell me what happened.

- Put the hat down.

- I've been watching you
for weeks, all right.

I understand you.

I know that you were
probably just lonely

and you didn't mean
to hurt anybody.

- Be careful, Ray.

- Please, we can
find you some help.

- I don't need help.

Oh my God.

Fuck.

Culprits reveal themselves
in all sorts of ways,

but most of their mistakes occur

within five minutes
of the crime.

It takes a certain
kind of mindset,

a specific level of
cool not to panic,

not to panic, not to panic.

Stay composed.

Stay composed, stay composed.

Stay composed, stay composed.

Stay composed, stay composed.

Not to let one's emotions
overpower their actions.

So often, the criminals err
in their disposal protocol.

This only gives them more
rope to hang themselves with.

Speaking of which, suicide
is still the most common

and effective cover up.

It's estimated that
more than 10,000 murders

have been misidentified
in the past century.

But of course, we
can't ever be sure.

- Mistakes occur within
five minutes of the crime.

Just a few skin cells
can crack open a case.

DNA evidence...

Hello?

- Susie.

- Jesse?

- Did I wake you up?

- No.

No, of course not.

Did you speak to your uncle?

- No, not yet.

He's kind of freaked out
by all the media attention.

- Yeah.

- Honestly, I feel
pretty bad for him right now.

Anyway, this sounds weird
but have you heard from Ray?

- No.

Why would I?

- Well, he's
not answering his phone

and I don't know,

we were supposed to meet
up this morning, so.

- I wouldn't worry,
I'm sure he's fine.

- Just as our campus
has been celebrating

the return of Jesse Wilcox,
a new tragedy has struck.

Police have identified a body

at the bottom of Suicide
Gulch, Ray Garcia,

a senior history major
and immigration advocate

here on campus.

- I'm gonna pass out.

- It's okay.

- This can't be real.
- Ssh.

- I can't go in.

- Yes, you can, you can do
it, you're just in shock.

I can give you some alone
time with him, if you want.

- No, let's go together.

I need you with me.

I mean, he was just
here a few days ago.

- He'll always be with us.

- I just don't get it.

I don't get it.

It just doesn't make
sense, I don't get it.

- Susie.

I'm so
glad you could come.

Thank you.

- Yeah, of course.

I wouldn't-

- Such a shame what
happened to Ray.

It certainly doesn't help
our diversity initiative.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

By the way, favor to ask
you, if you don't mind.

When you leave the
funeral parlor,

would you mind going
out the main entrance?

There are some
reporters outside.

I thought it would
be a good idea

if they all saw
our star student.

- Yeah, okay.

- That's terrific.

- Susie!

Is anyone watching us?

- No, I don't think so.

- Susie.

The more I think about Ray,
the more frightened I get.

- Jesse, it was a suicide.

I know that's, it's horrible
but these things happen.

- I don't think it was.

Actually, I know it wasn't.

- You know, they say that

you can't truly
know another person.

- I knew Ray.

I knew Ray better than
anyone else in the universe.

He...

He was my boyfriend.

- What?

Um...

But no one...

No one knew or?

- Yeah, we didn't tell
anyone, of course not.

His parents are super
religious, have you met them?

- Yeah but that
doesn't mean that

he wouldn't commit suicide.

- Literally this weekend, we
were gonna go to Big Mountain

and celebrate our
one-year anniversary.

We had like a whole thing
planned and he planned it.

He made the arrangements,
he planned our meals.

Why would he do all that?

What if the guy who was
behind my kidnapping

is somehow responsible for this?

I mean, like I don't
know if he was just some

like fucking psycho
or something,

but he definitely knew
what he was doing.

He did.

And I just know with your
gift, you can help me find him.

- The police are investigating.

- Well, the police
didn't find me.

You found me.

You saved my life.

Please, Susie.

- I'm flattered that you
would believe in me, but

I worry that I'm too
close to the case.

- That's okay.

- I'm sorry.

I really liked him.

And I thought he liked me too.

But I guess it was all a lie.

Feels like yesterday, I was
getting everything I ever wanted

and now I'm losing it all.

But I'm still doing great, so
don't go worrying about me.

I really wish you could
give me advice right now.

- In these dark times, I've
started doubting everything,

everything I've ever
believed in, except you.

Susie, you have to help me find
who's responsible for this.

Try to sink into
your happy place.

Deep breath.

- Hello?

- Hi, it's Susie Wallis.

I..

Sorry, I'm calling you so late.

- That's okay.

I didn't know you
had my phone number.

Anyway, I'm still at the office.

My wife's gone on business,

so I'm just burning
the midnight oil.

- Oh.

- I'm also watching
Jesse's meditation videos.

They're not that bad.

- Yeah,
that's good to hear.

- I gotta be honest, we moved
to Wade to escape the stress.

You know, big city
life wasn't for me.

Anyway, now...

- Do you think that Ray
Garcia really killed himself?

- Why wouldn't I?

- You don't have any
suspects or anything?

- Should I?

- No, I mean, I don't know.

I'm just trying to learn more
about suicide and depression.

- This should serve
as a reminder,

you know, when you're feeling
down, don't stay down.

In the words of Jesse,
be positive, homie.

- Thanks.

Yes, loyal listeners,
this is a call to arms.

I want your best theories,
your most random,

your most absurd and
in the upcoming weeks,

we'll be delving into
some on this podcast.

If Lawrence isn't the kidnapper,
then I wanna know who is.

- I am so sorry, I did
not mean to startle you.

- Is everything okay?

- Oh yeah, of course.

I just wanted to
formally say hello

since we've never seen each
other outside the office.

- You following me?

- Yes.

Yes, I am.

But oh, don't worry, no, no, no.

It's nothing bad on
your part, Susie.

No, we're just
trying to protect you

in case the kidnapper
shows up again, yeah.

I mean, to be honest,

you're kind of the first
person he'd go after.

- If he does, he
better watch out.

- Hmm, yeah, yeah.

Well, you enjoy your day.

- Hey Susie.

So Terriers and Pomeranians
have been going missing

on this street for months.

Spooky.

- Someone keeps taking a huge
dump in my private bathroom.

Now I'm not saying it's
a mystery kidnapper,

but it could be.

- So I don't have like
a tip necessarily,

but I've just been like lonely.

Like, are we alone?

Because like aliens, you know.

- Two days ago, I
saw the Monahan boys

steal $5 out of
the tithing dish.

- I noticed the owner
of the crazy house

was digging a super deep
hole in his side yard.

- I've had this really
strange and bizarre feeling

about my neighbor, Edgar Cabot.

Last week, I saw him try to
hit a raccoon with his car.

- According to
former Police Chief,

Jefferson Gray of
Cleveland, Ohio,

it doesn't matter if you
have five suspects or 500.

More often than you think,

the culprit is right
under your nose.

Jillian, we need to talk.

- Okay.

Oh my God, are you
wearing makeup?

- Um...

- It looks really good, I swear.

- We need to discuss Edgar.

- Ugh, finally.

- You said that he's like a-

- Psycho, yeah, for sure.

- Right, but there's you know,

a lot of odd people
in the world.

- Yeah, this is
different than that.

So, my stepsister went
to school with him

like a million years ago

and she said that Edgar
attacked another student

and then the board
like hushed it up

'cause apparently, his
dad is like loaded.

- If he's so rich, why does
he work at the snack bar?

- I don't know.

You're the detective.

- Psychopathic behavior
usually presents itself

at an early age.

Antisocial tendencies,
reoccurring problems
with the law

and cruelty to animals are
all early warning signs.

Hey.

Everything okay?

- Yes.
- So I think I found

a potential lead-

- Susie, I'm not gonna lie.

For the past week, I haven't
been able to meditate,

like at all.

I've tried, get on my
app and I close my eyes

and try and unplug but
all I can see is death.

Bodies and limbs
and stuff like that.

But then this morning, I woke
up and I have no idea why

but I had this newfound clarity.

I just felt more present
and more centered

than I ever have in
my whole life, ever.

And as if on cue, hello
universe, it listened to me.

I just got an email.

They found more DNA evidence

from deeper inside the basement.

Apparently there
are two entrances.

- Really?

- Yes, it's just like
your podcast said,

you can be the best
criminal in the world,

but you cannot outrun science.

They found more DNA evidence.

DNA evidence, DNA evidence.

You okay?

- Yeah.

- I just can't wait for
this to all be over.

- There's a lot of debate about
behavioral signs of guilt,

whether a criminal will turn
insomniac or sleep like a baby,

whether they'll
develop facial ticks,

constantly touch their hair

or adopt new body postures.

Even shoulder shrugging
can be a sign of guilt.

But at the end of the day,

none of that really
matters to police.

What matters is
cold, hard evidence.

Facts that tie the suspect
to the murder scene.

Stick to a routine.

Just stick to a routine.

Just stick to a routine.

Just stick to a routine.

Just stick to a routine.

Just stick to a routine.

- Morning.

- Morning.

- Looking forward
to that report, Susie.

- What report?

- The one on
oxidation-reduction reaction.

No, don't tell me that your fame

is getting in the
way of your studying.

- Oh my God.

- Oh, don't worry,
get it to me later.

- No, this is unacceptable, I
should face the consequences.

- You know what
I love about you, Susie?

- No, I don't.

- What you see is what you get.

With everybody
else in the world,

well, everyone I
know, they wear masks.

Not with you.

Never change, okay?

- Okay.

Hello listeners.

It's no secret, I've been
a bit stuck on this case,

but don't worry,
I won't give up.

I'll never change who I am.

Life takes unexpected twists,

even the most perfect plans
don't always work out,

but never lose faith.

Every obstacle is really just
an opportunity to dig deeper.

Eventually, a solution
will present itself.

It always does.

More soon on "Susie Searches."

- I'm gonna need to
leave early today,

so can you cover for me?

- Hmm.

- I said, I'm gonna need
to leave early today.

So can you cover for me?

- Yeah, of course.

- Yeah, it's a date.

No, I'm not gonna answer
any questions, okay.

You know, Susie, I
was wrong about you.

Even though you saved the day,

you still have no social life.

Okay, I think I'm
gonna go and change,

I feel weird about this shirt.

- I like it.

- You do?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, yeah I'm
definitely gonna change.

Bye.

- You said there
was an emergency.

- Um, yeah, someone broke
into the back cabinets.

- Why was the storage
closet left open?

- I...

I don't know.

- Well, ah, ah, ah, ah, I know
the rules, I know the rules.

You don't know the rules.

What are you, some
kind of an idiot?

Well, I guess they
didn't take anything.

- Hi.

- Thought you were
off duty tonight.

- Oh, I am.

Bonanza Burger makes
these delicious

chocolate protein shakes,
my mom loves them.

They've helped her
put on some weight.

- Really?

- Yeah, and I remembered,

you said you were trying
to put on mass too.

So I thought I'd bring
you one on my way home.

- So, is she seeing any gains?

- Yes, big gains.

- Do you know if it is an
isolate or concentrate or?

- Oh, I don't really
know the terms,

but they did say
to drink it slowly

or it could give
you indigestion.

- One
time in college,

I ate six cheese logs and
chased it with warm beer.

Ah.

It's not a problem.

- Okay, well have a good night.

- Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Oh.

Ah.

Oh.

- Just one last thing.

Just one last thing.

Just one last thing.

- Boo.

It's me.

- Hi.
- It's me.

- What's up?
- Hey.

- What's up? I've
been looking for you.

- Oh, I'm just, I'm headed home.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- Do you wanna grab
a bite or can you?

- God, you know
I would, but I...

There's this-

- Oh, you don't have
to if you're busy,

you got something going on.

There's a lot of
fakes in world, Susie.

I should know, I'm one of them.

You know, I don't even know
that much about meditation.

Like, I mean, I try to do it,
but it doesn't really help.

Like honestly, I'm probably
the most anxious person

you've ever met.

Seriously.

- That's normal.

- Yeah but I obsessively
check my YouTube subscribers

and my IG and my
TikTok, everything like,

and if any of those numbers
goes down, I get so sad.

Not just normal
sad, I get like...

I get so sad, I'll just
start punching the walls

until my knuckles
start bleeding.

- Why are you telling me this?

- Because you would've
figured it out anyway.

You know, maybe when they
get this guy in custody,

you can teach me how
to be more like you.

- This is Susie Wallis with
a late breaking report.

After weeks of fruitlessly
searching for Jesse's kidnapper,

I think I finally
have a solid lead.

Edgar Cabot, the son of Wade
College mega donor Frank Cabot.

Yes, in case you're wondering,
that is the same Cabot

of Cabot Dining Hall

but I'll get into the
specifics of that later.

Right now, I'm off
to investigate.

But if something happens to me,

I will be leaving my
recorder in my car as proof.

Oh my God.

- Hi, Susie.

- I think I'm in
the wrong house.

- Yeah, come on, we both know
that you're smarter than that.

- No really, it's a mistake.

I can just leave
and not mention...

- What? My practice?

Are you kidding?

Honestly, I'm just glad
that somebody's gonna get

to see my work.

You know, these pets can only
spread disorder and chaos.

Not to mention, disease.

- I called your
psychiatric hospital.

- What?

- They said, your
dad pulled you out

before you were healthy.

- Oh.

- He said, you just
needed a steady day job.

- Oh, well dad was right.

- No, you're not well.

- You are a pest.

You are a pest, Susie and
pests make the world unclean.

Pests make the world unclean.

Unclean!

Whoopsie.

Hey, where are you going?

Oh.

This is kind of fun.

Susie, where are you going?

Susie.

You got blood on my machete.

Open up.

Susie, it's locked.

- 911,
what's your emergency?

- Hello? Hi, can you track-

- Susie, the door's locked.
- Track this phone.

I'm being attacked

- Susie.
- By Edgar Cabot.

I need a rescue team-

Fuck.

- Susie, open this door.

- Please hang
up and try your call again.

- Don't worry about it, I'll
make it quick, all right.

I got it open.

No thanks to you.

- Please.

Please, I'm sorry.

- Gordon, give me a sec.

There you go.

This oughta cheer
you up a little.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- I mean, for everything.

- You were my prime
suspect, you know.

Had my guys following
you for weeks.

Never been so happy
to be proven wrong.

To the Kea.

- This must
be the story of the year.

Wow, that's all I can say.

- I'll second that,

I've never heard anything
like this before.

So not only did you
save your classmate,

you then went out and
caught the real kidnapper

as proven by a DNA link.

- You're too kind.

- But on a more sober note,

I really can't imagine what
you must have gone through

at Edgar Cabot's house.

I mean, were you
ever frightened?

- Yes, but I needed
to know the truth.

- Hmm, spoken like
a true detective.

- She is truly,
she's unique, right?

- That's right,
give it up for them.

Okay, take me through
that horrific night

unless it's too traumatic.

- No, no, of course not.

Well, if it weren't
for the brave actions

of Sheriff Loggins, I
probably would've died

in that basement.

- Oof.

Okay, so there you are,
you're trapped in the basement

with a crazed killer
breaking down the door.

- Yeah, I guess it sounds
like a horror movie.

- It is a horror movie and
I mean, this is a bad guy.

This is an individual
with a history of violence

towards animals and
sociopathic tendencies.

How'd you get through it?

- Well...

I remembered something
my mother always said,

if ever you're anxious,
just take three deep breaths

and imagine an ocean breeze.

- Wait, what did you just say?

- I said, if ever
you're anxious,

just take three deep breaths
and imagine an ocean breeze.
