00;00;00;02 - 00;00;01;06
Sarah
Uh.
00;00;02;07 - 00;00;23;25
Sarah
I guess I'll let go. Uh, and then Murdock is in the win. Hey, maniac.
00;00;23;29 - 00;00;25;14
Mark
Hey, Maniac.
00;00;25;15 - 00;00;27;00
Sarah
It's Mystery Maniac.
00;00;27;00 - 00;00;37;22
Mark
Mystery Maniac is a comedy recap podcast dedicated to mystery TV. Each week, we dig into an episode of the show, including the murders, the mayhem, the loonies, and everything else we love this week.
00;00;38;09 - 00;00;42;10
Sarah
Murdock Season one Episode six Let Loose the Don't.
00;00;42;29 - 00;00;43;26
Mark
Lose the.
00;00;43;26 - 00;00;46;00
Sarah
Dogs. I'm Sarah.
00;00;46;03 - 00;00;46;25
Mark
I'm Mark.
00;00;46;27 - 00;00;52;21
Sarah
You may hear Lucy. We should explain our cat, whose full name is Lucy Fir.
00;00;52;26 - 00;00;53;08
Mark
Yes.
00;00;54;00 - 00;00;56;21
Sarah
We call her Lucy for short, has gone.
00;00;56;24 - 00;00;59;11
Mark
She's become very vocal in her old age.
00;00;59;12 - 00;01;13;13
Sarah
Do growling lately and likes to just yell so she's not unhappy. So if you hear in the background outside the door, that's just Lucy for doing her thing. We can't muzzle or something. That would be me.
00;01;13;18 - 00;01;14;09
Mark
That would be.
00;01;14;24 - 00;01;22;10
Sarah
I gave her a bunch of goodies and stuff so she'd be in there eating, but she just wolfed it down like a piggy. And now she's at the office door, so she might holler.
00;01;22;22 - 00;01;31;20
Mark
It's okay. This is spoiler podcast. And a little warning if you let your kids wander around in the dark by a river, you should be okay to let them listen to the book.
00;01;31;23 - 00;01;46;16
Sarah
How about just don't do that? Yeah. I'm listening to a podcast instead. It's safer. Couple of things that happened this week that are interesting. First, speaking of Murdoch Gem, which is the network in Canada.
00;01;46;17 - 00;01;49;01
Mark
It's the online service from.
00;01;49;01 - 00;02;11;16
Sarah
CBC. Yeah, launched a web series called Macey Murdoch. That's for kids. Yes. And it's about an aunt and not an ancestor of the opposite of that. What is that? A descendant of Murdoch who's a little girl and she travels back in time to save William Murdoch because he's accused of murder, is that right?
00;02;11;16 - 00;02;14;18
Mark
Yes. She goes back to 1910 time travel.
00;02;14;18 - 00;02;17;03
Sarah
It's like Murdoch matched up with Doctor Who for kids.
00;02;17;14 - 00;02;17;25
Mark
Yeah.
00;02;18;05 - 00;02;22;28
Sarah
So if you have access to Gem because you live in Canada, you should be watching it and telling us if it's fun.
00;02;22;28 - 00;02;24;26
Mark
Yeah, there's a little 12 minute episode.
00;02;24;26 - 00;02;26;15
Sarah
That yeah, it's a web series run.
00;02;26;15 - 00;02;30;23
Mark
It attracts more viewers to Murdoch. Yeah. In the younger set.
00;02;31;00 - 00;02;32;16
Sarah
I'm sure it's a hoot.
00;02;32;21 - 00;02;36;12
Mark
Yeah, I'm sure it's fun. I'm sure there's so many winks and nods.
00;02;36;12 - 00;02;38;06
Sarah
And it's fun. Yeah, Yeah.
00;02;38;11 - 00;03;01;02
Mark
Now, Murdoch is famous for these. If if you don't know Murdoch, like Canadians know Murdoch, you're probably not aware of. There's a gap. There's been a couple of web series which are sometimes they do like prep for seasons, like little hints for the season to come as a case and they're like little 12 minute episodes and things like that.
00;03;01;02 - 00;03;27;00
Mark
They've done a couple of those. They did do one where Murdoch goes forward in time and meets up with everybody, though, and like Crabtree and Brack and Raine are not good people in our episode now. No, another thing we have to tell you about is this fantastic website created by a midsummer fan. It's Midsomer Murders History dot org and oh boy, you are in for a treat.
00;03;27;00 - 00;03;30;27
Sarah
It's awesome. I can't wrap my brain around the amount of work.
00;03;31;02 - 00;03;38;09
Mark
Petra Taraborrelli is a researcher. Did you look at what she actually researches in her daily life of researching.
00;03;38;09 - 00;03;39;18
Sarah
Offsides rules in.
00;03;39;18 - 00;03;41;14
Mark
Football? German football? Yes.
00;03;42;26 - 00;03;48;08
Sarah
Wow. She's good at going deep into a niche and she does it for midsummer too.
00;03;48;08 - 00;04;00;07
Mark
And she has created a timeline that begins about 800 B.C. in the Iron Age and continues to the season 22 of midsummer.
00;04;00;07 - 00;04;09;20
Sarah
Yeah, it's the history of Midsummer counting, so it has all the references to historical events that are mentioned in midsummer include and more contemporary events in midsummer.
00;04;09;20 - 00;04;10;07
Mark
So did you.
00;04;10;10 - 00;04;11;08
Sarah
It's really cool.
00;04;11;25 - 00;04;20;13
Mark
She brought this up on the read it for midsummer. Did you hear her talking like did you read her talking about how she went about doing it?
00;04;20;13 - 00;04;25;26
Sarah
I'm the one who asked her to explain how she went about it because I thought she sat there rewatching the episodes and taking notes.
00;04;25;29 - 00;04;27;05
Mark
So tell us how she did it.
00;04;27;06 - 00;04;36;05
Sarah
She said she went through the script. Yeah, of all the episodes, which would be a much easier way to do it, I think, because you could skim much faster than you could watch.
00;04;36;05 - 00;04;37;11
Mark
I want that archive.
00;04;39;05 - 00;04;47;03
Sarah
You can find them all online. They're just not easy to read. Yeah, you have to kind of copy and paste them into a document or something because of the format they're in.
00;04;47;03 - 00;04;49;29
Mark
So we'll put that in the show notes for our midsummer fans.
00;04;50;01 - 00;04;57;07
Sarah
You should absolutely check it out. You should, if for no other reason than it is an epic undertaking and it's and it's complete. It's really.
00;04;57;07 - 00;05;10;14
Mark
Cool. And in our tradition of doing shows that are producing new shows still Murdoch Murdoch Series seven team believe is going to start showing on ACORN now.
00;05;10;18 - 00;05;11;02
Sarah
When.
00;05;11;09 - 00;05;13;27
Mark
This Monday which will be the 20 the.
00;05;13;27 - 00;05;16;11
Sarah
Day this is released. Yeah. The 27th of March.
00;05;16;11 - 00;05;29;22
Mark
The 27th of March. Now we have to be careful we don't talk spoilers about new episodes. No, be careful about what you talk about in the subreddit and stuff like that. And the Facebook groups. Oh wow.
00;05;29;22 - 00;05;30;24
Sarah
Just be careful.
00;05;30;24 - 00;05;31;10
Mark
Be careful.
00;05;31;10 - 00;05;36;01
Sarah
You get paid, you'll get banned or something by somebody. They're pretty hardcore.
00;05;36;02 - 00;05;38;11
Mark
You don't want to you don't want to bother anybody.
00;05;38;12 - 00;05;39;07
Sarah
We don't run those.
00;05;39;07 - 00;05;48;21
Mark
No, no. Though my brother is constantly drawing. Oh, my gosh. Did you even this happen? I'm like, No, we haven't got them yet. And thank you.
00;05;48;22 - 00;05;49;00
Sarah
Yeah.
00;05;49;09 - 00;05;54;14
Sarah
I haven't seen it. Don't know about it. Please don't ruin it. All right. Are you ready to talk chocolate? Lose the dog.
00;05;54;14 - 00;06;11;20
Mark
Let loose the dogs. Originally broadcast February 24th, 2008. Don Mick Brady is the writer as the director, and Gene Grigg and Carl Koontz are the writers. This is the only episode that is drawn directly from a.
00;06;11;20 - 00;06;14;10
Sarah
Book from memory in Jennings book.
00;06;14;10 - 00;06;23;29
Mark
So there are seven books by Maureen Jennings. Three of them turn into the movies that happened before this show, and then.
00;06;24;02 - 00;06;26;07
Sarah
That are completely different in tone.
00;06;26;07 - 00;06;33;01
Mark
Yes. And then this episode one, and then there are another couple that are touched on.
00;06;33;05 - 00;06;36;19
Sarah
But then there are interpretations of stories from the books.
00;06;37;06 - 00;07;04;00
Mark
Yeah. Like there's one where a bunch of girls at a girls school are being wooed away by a man. Now they make it much more interesting than what this book is. Yeah, yeah. And they deal with similar things, but the books are, from what I can understand, I haven't read any of the books, but just from their descriptions, they seem a little more serious, a little more procedural, a little.
00;07;04;00 - 00;07;25;11
Sarah
They're more than a little. There, there. I have two of them in PDF form, neither of which I could get through because it's just not my Murdoch right? Yeah, I think if you read the books first and then you saw the show, you would say like, this is a completely different character. I mean, I don't like the names are the same and the era is the same and the location is the same and nothing else is the same.
00;07;25;11 - 00;07;30;14
Mark
It has to be kind of like Martin in Game of Thrones. It has to be something.
00;07;30;14 - 00;07;39;17
Sarah
No, they're really close to their really close. Yeah. No, this is like if they made Game of Thrones into a slapstick comedy, that's the gulf between them.
00;07;39;17 - 00;07;56;06
Mark
And what what has happened is this murder, the the television murder is more wildly popular. Oh, yeah. And so that must be an interesting sort of thing to deal with. But I know I'm sure she cashes her executive producer checks.
00;07;56;06 - 00;08;04;13
Sarah
And as a as a writer, if I were her, I. I don't think I could watch the show. If I was still writing the books, because it would in fact, to my brain.
00;08;04;13 - 00;08;04;21
Mark
Yes.
00;08;04;23 - 00;08;07;22
Sarah
You know, like I it would be really difficult to separate them.
00;08;07;22 - 00;08;22;11
Mark
Out all of the books. But one came out before the show started, except for the last one, which came out in 2017, Let Darkness Bury the Dead, which is nothing like Murdoch. Wow.
00;08;22;12 - 00;08;31;25
Sarah
All right. So let's talk about this episode. So I'll say right off the top, because this one is based on a book. It is a bit more serious than a lot of other episodes.
00;08;31;26 - 00;08;33;19
Mark
This is the most procedural.
00;08;33;20 - 00;08;46;06
Sarah
Yes. But that did not prevent us from finding all kinds of do all the bits and bobs in this episode. So if you watched it and you found it, kind of heavy fear not We have found the goodies.
00;08;46;17 - 00;08;51;23
Mark
Do you think just to start us off on the right foot, the Darren playing dog fighting at the beginning.
00;08;51;27 - 00;09;02;20
Sarah
That we're supposed to think that's what's going on? No, I don't. Because because this kind of rating was really popular. And as soon as you see the kind of dogs they are, you know, they're not dogfighting.
00;09;02;20 - 00;09;14;14
Mark
They they it was really popular. But it's definitely on the decline here. It's seen as a it's not a rising in popularity thing. It's a declining in popularity thing. So it's more hidden and more.
00;09;14;24 - 00;09;15;20
Sarah
It's a back room.
00;09;15;22 - 00;09;17;13
Mark
Yeah, it's a back room, though.
00;09;17;15 - 00;09;35;20
Sarah
Nukem, who owns the bar, he doesn't have to hide it. It's not illegal. No, they're doing it. No, but if you wanted to make extra money as a business owner on some kind of betting scheme, this is a pretty inexpensive one. I mean, it's not like you can just put up a horse track in the back. Yes. You know, or a roulette wheel or something.
00;09;36;05 - 00;09;36;28
Mark
Well, you also.
00;09;37;00 - 00;09;40;09
Sarah
You could have poker games, I guess, or blackjack games in the back, but you.
00;09;40;09 - 00;09;45;03
Mark
Do have to have your clock covered. That's labeled dogs fixing drugs.
00;09;45;03 - 00;09;46;15
Sarah
Yes. Yes.
00;09;47;03 - 00;09;50;29
Mark
It's clear like there's the drugs. Right.
00;09;51;07 - 00;10;00;15
Sarah
They're not illegal. There's no reason to keep them hidden. It's not illegal to give them to the dogs either. Not at this time. I know. That's just you know, his little cupboard. A trick.
00;10;00;18 - 00;10;17;09
Mark
I have a question. I have a question. We talk about tropes a lot on this show. Things that re-occur. Yeah. Has there ever been a gambling situation in which one character won and the other character didn't win and the other character wasn't accused of cheating in anything ever?
00;10;17;09 - 00;10;21;19
Sarah
No, no. Or said, Wow, good job, you chose the right dog.
00;10;21;22 - 00;10;22;08
Mark
And no.
00;10;22;08 - 00;10;27;20
Sarah
Boy. I wish I had. Oh, well, fair play. You won.
00;10;27;27 - 00;10;32;16
Mark
Just like every single show where there's betting somebody accuses somebody else of.
00;10;32;16 - 00;10;35;02
Sarah
Cheating. Absolutely. That's what makes it interesting.
00;10;35;09 - 00;10;39;18
Mark
There's no charge for that show. Wow. What sales would?
00;10;40;03 - 00;10;42;23
Sarah
The other thing that makes this interesting is the music.
00;10;42;27 - 00;10;43;13
Mark
Yes.
00;10;43;24 - 00;10;53;17
Sarah
And it's not the Murdoch theme song that we hear during this montage of ratting scenes. No, We hear a song called The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo.
00;10;53;24 - 00;10;54;15
Mark
Okay.
00;10;56;04 - 00;10;58;16
Sarah
Which is a musical song.
00;10;58;21 - 00;10;59;15
Mark
Okay. Right.
00;11;00;20 - 00;11;01;19
Sarah
Do you know anything about this?
00;11;01;19 - 00;11;06;06
Mark
Is it contemporary? Like what? It would actually have been being sung?
00;11;06;09 - 00;11;12;04
Sarah
Yeah, it was written in 1890. Okay. By a guy named Fred Gilbert. So this is not the Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan Show.
00;11;12;04 - 00;11;13;13
Mark
Can be a popular song.
00;11;13;18 - 00;11;25;12
Sarah
I think it would have been known. Yeah, but it gets more interesting. Are you ready? Yeah. So the other song that Fred Gilbert was really well-known for was called Did you ever see an oyster walk upstairs?
00;11;25;25 - 00;11;30;24
Mark
No. No, I never had. So I desperately.
00;11;30;24 - 00;11;37;06
Sarah
Wanted to see the lyrics of this song and I can not find them anywhere.
00;11;37;06 - 00;11;38;28
Mark
That is quite a metaphor.
00;11;38;28 - 00;11;51;14
Sarah
It's like it's top secret now. Like the next line is, Well, if you haven't, let me tell you how to make them do it and they don't want you to know any more. You can't find the lyrics to this song, but the man in the.
00;11;51;18 - 00;11;52;03
Mark
Oyster.
00;11;52;03 - 00;11;53;26
Sarah
Song to the oysters. Oh, yeah, yeah.
00;11;53;27 - 00;11;54;21
Mark
Monte Carlo.
00;11;54;22 - 00;12;02;17
Sarah
Oh, yeah. The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo was a really popular song. As a matter of fact, Bing Crosby recorded a version of it on.
00;12;02;25 - 00;12;05;16
Mark
Is this the first reference to Bing Crosby? We had the.
00;12;05;16 - 00;12;15;07
Sarah
Probably yes, but you see, Are you ready? Okay. Okay. So this is a 1961 two album set of songs.
00;12;15;07 - 00;12;18;23
Mark
He won two albums. Bing Crosby, Songs of Bing Crosby.
00;12;18;23 - 00;12;25;12
Sarah
Oh, no, no. It's called 101 Gang Song. What?
00;12;25;12 - 00;12;27;13
Mark
Like you're not going to get me Capper?
00;12;27;13 - 00;12;49;13
Sarah
No, like Gangsta's Paradise Song. It's a two album set, and it actually has 101 songs on it. Wow. And when I saw it, like immediately I thought of Bing Crosby in Gold Chains and a backwards baseball. Like Being is so gangsta, you know?
00;12;49;15 - 00;12;52;17
Mark
So they can't be long.
00;12;52;17 - 00;13;02;01
Sarah
Oh, no, they're not. They're they're all like, sing song songs like, sing like songs you sing in a bar or something, right? So songs like Pop Goes The Weasel.
00;13;02;02 - 00;13;09;06
Mark
Now, do they mean gang songs like Gang Bang Vocal song? Because gang vocals is a is a sing.
00;13;09;10 - 00;13;13;02
Sarah
It meant sing along songs that you would sing with the gang.
00;13;13;08 - 00;13;17;04
Mark
Oh, like the gang down at the pop shop.
00;13;17;04 - 00;13;17;16
Sarah
Yeah.
00;13;17;20 - 00;13;18;05
Mark
Okay.
00;13;18;05 - 00;13;18;21
Sarah
Yeah.
00;13;19;03 - 00;13;20;18
Mark
There's a Canadian reference.
00;13;20;19 - 00;13;40;27
Sarah
I don't know what you mean there. In my mind, though, it was gangster centric. So Pop goes. The Weasel is completely different in my head now. It's. I'm going to pop that weasel, you know, like Bing is getting hardcore or on top of old Smokey. That's got to be like a, you know, like a Snoop Dogg.
00;13;40;29 - 00;13;44;13
Mark
Yeah, right. So being Snoop.
00;13;45;16 - 00;13;46;17
Sarah
Blow the man down.
00;13;46;25 - 00;13;48;13
Mark
That's a whole other thing.
00;13;48;13 - 00;13;50;26
Sarah
Yeah. Like you got arrested for that do.
00;13;51;15 - 00;13;52;27
Mark
I'm.
00;13;52;27 - 00;14;02;28
Sarah
Of course. Then my brain goes even more whack wackadoo doodle like. Well, that's the first of the two albums. What's the second album? Well, the second album is when Bingo's really a gangster.
00;14;02;28 - 00;14;05;15
Mark
Oh, like Straight Outta Compton. Yeah, like.
00;14;05;16 - 00;14;13;27
Sarah
Straight Outta Compton or Damn, it feels good to be a gangster. You know, his duet with Julie Andrews, where she's so hardcore.
00;14;13;27 - 00;14;16;10
Mark
She's got to go to, you know, she's hardcore.
00;14;16;11 - 00;14;16;24
Sarah
Being in the.
00;14;16;24 - 00;14;17;28
Mark
Hood, being in the hood.
00;14;17;28 - 00;14;20;14
Sarah
You know, or ain't nothing but a big thing.
00;14;20;22 - 00;14;24;05
Mark
Nothing but a big thing, babe.
00;14;24;05 - 00;14;31;04
Sarah
Sippin on bing and jus laid back. Yeah, it's on 101 gang song. There you go. Now, you know.
00;14;31;19 - 00;14;32;17
Mark
That's fantastic.
00;14;32;17 - 00;14;35;03
Sarah
So these are terriers? Yep. Catching rats.
00;14;35;03 - 00;14;35;18
Mark
Yes.
00;14;35;23 - 00;14;39;23
Sarah
These would be captive rats that they dump into this pen.
00;14;39;23 - 00;14;43;02
Mark
Okay. No animals are harmed in the filming of this episode.
00;14;43;04 - 00;14;45;00
Sarah
Oh, gosh, no. So clearly rubber.
00;14;45;00 - 00;14;50;27
Mark
Rat, they are clearly rubber rats. There's one real rat. Yeah, And like.
00;14;50;27 - 00;14;52;14
Sarah
And it's nowhere near dog.
00;14;52;14 - 00;14;56;15
Mark
It's like Ricardo, like, he. He's. He's the hero rat.
00;14;56;16 - 00;14;59;02
Sarah
Yes. He's like, I got this.
00;14;59;06 - 00;15;02;12
Mark
I got that. And he does all the rat stuff. Yeah.
00;15;02;18 - 00;15;03;27
Sarah
Running rat stunt.
00;15;04;05 - 00;15;06;17
Mark
But then there's robbery of cars.
00;15;06;19 - 00;15;15;27
Sarah
Yeah. Then all the rubber rats come out. So obviously this is illegal. Now, you don't do this anymore. No, no, no. Like lots of other. And this is the animal based gambling.
00;15;15;27 - 00;15;24;14
Mark
The Victorian changed from animals that work to animals that are pets in our house. Right, Right. Because ratting is an important thing.
00;15;24;18 - 00;15;35;20
Sarah
Yeah. If you have a farm. Yeah. You don't want rats, right? No. He tell you don't bite your animals. They'll spread disease, all that stuff. So if you've got an animal that catches on like a cat or a terrier.
00;15;35;29 - 00;15;37;14
Mark
That's that's a good thing.
00;15;37;14 - 00;15;52;15
Sarah
That animal has a job. Yes. Right. Yes. So like dogfighting. This is right out now. Yeah. But they're still these breeds of dogs that have those instincts. Yes. Right. Like terriers. Yes. So there's more civilized versions of these things now.
00;15;52;16 - 00;15;55;15
Mark
Oh, there are. Yes. They have river rats like retard.
00;15;56;12 - 00;16;21;08
Sarah
No. Okay. So there's two forms of it. One is called Earth dog trials. Now, these are for dogs like terriers and like dachshunds that are bred to go down like holes in the ground and catch animals or chase them out the other side. I knew. Dunking a catch like that. Yeah. So what they do, what they do for these trials is they basically build an ant farm for a dog, right?
00;16;21;17 - 00;16;38;13
Sarah
So it's like an above ground tunnel. That one side is just plexiglass and then they put these little dead ends in it that have like something that smells like a rat or it might even have an actual rat that's in a cage. So it's protected and the dog has to get to it as quickly as possible and then get to the next one.
00;16;38;20 - 00;16;47;17
Sarah
But you can watch them in the tunnels like these dioxins that look like bendy busses going up and down these little like turny pipe.
00;16;47;19 - 00;16;50;00
Mark
And every 1 to 1 they stop at the place of glass and look.
00;16;50;00 - 00;17;11;18
Sarah
Out. Yeah. How are you doing? Okay, I'm off. Or they do these events called barn hunts where they'll pile of a barn or another similar venue with a bunch of hay bales and they put rats who are in like metal cylindrical aerated traps into those hay bales. And the dogs have to find them as quickly as possible for rats.
00;17;11;24 - 00;17;17;29
Sarah
I can't imagine what they think is going on. Like I'm sure they get lured into the trap with like some food.
00;17;17;29 - 00;17;21;05
Mark
Okay, Rats can be horrible, horrible in your house.
00;17;21;09 - 00;17;23;22
Sarah
But the reason they use are not like.
00;17;23;22 - 00;17;27;05
Mark
No, they're like city rats. No, not.
00;17;27;13 - 00;17;29;02
Sarah
No. City rats are hard core.
00;17;29;03 - 00;17;30;06
Mark
They're civilized.
00;17;30;09 - 00;17;31;20
Sarah
These are civilized. Are at.
00;17;31;27 - 00;17;34;14
Mark
We were grown in the laboratory. Yeah.
00;17;34;18 - 00;17;38;28
Sarah
Or we're basically pets and never awesome them all. We have to go to this barn.
00;17;38;28 - 00;17;40;23
Mark
Why are you putting me in a silver?
00;17;41;09 - 00;17;48;05
Sarah
Yes. Why is this dog smelling me? There are videos of the Earth dog trials online.
00;17;48;05 - 00;17;49;08
Mark
We'll put those in the show.
00;17;49;22 - 00;18;08;19
Sarah
And they're amazing. The best ones are the ones that are from Night Vision, GoPros that are in the house. So you see a Docklands knows like just coming at you, you know, and it's little feet and then it turns around and it's just butt view, I guess. It goes, yeah.
00;18;08;19 - 00;18;10;24
Mark
I can only imagine all of doing.
00;18;10;24 - 00;18;11;03
Sarah
This.
00;18;11;15 - 00;18;13;13
Sarah
She would never do it.
00;18;13;26 - 00;18;17;14
Mark
I don't know. She's gotten inside the couch to find a toy.
00;18;17;15 - 00;18;23;25
Sarah
That's true. So like, I can see her diving in. Yeah, but then not doing at all what you want to know.
00;18;23;26 - 00;18;26;15
Mark
I can see her going, Oh, this is wrong.
00;18;26;18 - 00;18;27;03
Sarah
Yeah.
00;18;27;04 - 00;18;28;08
Mark
Oh, back out now.
00;18;28;08 - 00;18;30;05
Sarah
Or This is a good place for a nap.
00;18;30;10 - 00;18;30;25
Mark
Yes.
00;18;31;02 - 00;18;38;13
Sarah
Sleepy naptime. Yeah. Or hamburger anywhere. Hey. Right. You got a hamburger letting the rat loose. You know.
00;18;38;17 - 00;18;41;01
Mark
So there she does that head shaking thing.
00;18;41;01 - 00;18;44;28
Sarah
Oh, yeah. She's got the instinct of grabbing something and shaking the crap out.
00;18;44;28 - 00;18;47;27
Mark
Of it because that's like. That's how they kill the rats. Yeah, right.
00;18;47;27 - 00;18;54;03
Sarah
Break their neck to break their neck. But, you know, Olive, if you want her to do it, she's never know when.
00;18;54;08 - 00;18;55;03
Mark
She'll be like.
00;18;55;21 - 00;19;13;16
Sarah
No, no, I'm sorry. So grab your foot and shake it. Yes, because see what they're they're also a couple of ratting dogs that I want to tell you about. Oh, no, we're not. Of course, we're not in support of the kind of writing that they used to do. No, no, no. But there are a couple that are famous and deserve some credit.
00;19;13;17 - 00;19;14;01
Mark
Okay.
00;19;14;10 - 00;19;15;27
Sarah
So the first one, Ricardo.
00;19;15;27 - 00;19;16;28
Mark
No, that's the rat.
00;19;17;01 - 00;19;26;03
Sarah
No, the first one's name is Tiny. Tiny. And this is in the 1892. Okay. Tiny was like, really well known.
00;19;26;03 - 00;19;26;18
Mark
Okay.
00;19;26;28 - 00;19;29;20
Sarah
He was five and a half pound or he's dead.
00;19;29;21 - 00;19;30;21
Mark
They're all baby.
00;19;30;25 - 00;19;38;11
Sarah
So he's like a miniature terrier. Yeah, like a teacup terrier. Oh, he wore a woman's bracelet as a collar. Oh. When he wasn't.
00;19;38;11 - 00;19;39;15
Mark
Working. When he wasn't.
00;19;39;15 - 00;19;50;26
Sarah
Working, you know, he was playing. He caught 300 rats in 55 minutes. Wow. That's a rat every 11 seconds. Wow. Tiny was hardcore.
00;19;51;03 - 00;19;52;19
Mark
That's insane.
00;19;52;26 - 00;19;53;06
Sarah
Yeah.
00;19;54;02 - 00;19;56;05
Sarah
And they were probably half as big as he was.
00;19;56;05 - 00;19;57;01
Mark
Oh, my God. He was.
00;19;57;02 - 00;19;58;04
Sarah
Fearless.
00;19;58;20 - 00;19;59;28
Mark
Absolutely fearless.
00;19;59;29 - 00;20;13;15
Sarah
But my favorite, my favorite writing dog of all time is the earliest known, documented Ratting dog, whose name was Hatch. Okay. And he was the rat catching dog on the Mary Rose.
00;20;13;18 - 00;20;17;15
Mark
So the Mary Rose is the ship from Henry eight?
00;20;17;17 - 00;20;30;04
Sarah
Yes, Henry the eighth. It was his favorite warship. Yeah. And it sank. Yeah. In 1545 it sank. It's now been excavated and is on display and.
00;20;30;08 - 00;20;30;21
Mark
Time.
00;20;30;28 - 00;20;43;03
Sarah
And time in a big museum. It's amazing because what happened is when it sank, it basically broke right down the middle. So now it's like a cross section of the ship. Oh, it's like a dollhouse version of the ship.
00;20;43;06 - 00;20;45;12
Mark
If we ever go to England again, we're never going to leave.
00;20;45;24 - 00;21;07;14
Sarah
Many things to see. But Hatch was the dog on this ship, and he had an important job. Well, yeah, because they had rats eating the rations or spreading disease they couldn't have that, can't have rats. But he went down with the ship. They found him when they excavated the ship. But yeah, that's impossible. But that's I mean, he was a hero dog.
00;21;07;15 - 00;21;15;14
Mark
So clearly there's been some cheating here. And Slash walks out walking along and whammo, he gets hit by a.
00;21;15;14 - 00;21;18;14
Sarah
Hole, not slash his owner. There's Elaine.
00;21;18;15 - 00;21;20;16
Mark
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
00;21;20;26 - 00;21;21;02
Sarah
I'm.
00;21;21;04 - 00;21;21;21
Mark
Which the.
00;21;21;21 - 00;21;23;26
Sarah
Dog. Why did they why did they hit the dog with the.
00;21;23;26 - 00;21;25;15
Mark
Oh, no, no.
00;21;25;16 - 00;21;28;17
Sarah
They hit his owner who deserves it. And he's a bad guy.
00;21;28;17 - 00;21;29;28
Mark
And he's a bad guy though.
00;21;29;28 - 00;21;31;25
Sarah
Slash did kill 59 rats.
00;21;32;04 - 00;21;32;17
Mark
Yes, he.
00;21;32;17 - 00;21;33;19
Sarah
Did. It's impressive.
00;21;33;19 - 00;21;34;02
Mark
That is.
00;21;34;02 - 00;21;47;05
Sarah
Impressive. I mean, it's not tiny. Yeah, but it's impressive. Yeah. Perry Murdock is like, you're cheating. That dog had no hind quarters. Like his ass isn't big enough to be a good rat catching dog.
00;21;47;19 - 00;21;50;02
Mark
I don't know what Harry's beef is here.
00;21;50;02 - 00;21;53;28
Sarah
Is donkey donkey's too small to be a good rat catching dog?
00;21;53;28 - 00;21;56;09
Mark
Now, we don't know it's Harry Murdock, you know.
00;21;56;24 - 00;22;00;18
Sarah
But Delaney takes the big purse. Yeah. You know, even though Harry.
00;22;00;29 - 00;22;04;29
Mark
Is a bag of money, like it needs to have a little dollar sign. 95.
00;22;05;01 - 00;22;05;11
Sarah
Though.
00;22;05;12 - 00;22;11;26
Sarah
I know it's so obvious. And they did have paper money, right?
00;22;12;00 - 00;22;12;18
Mark
Oh, yeah.
00;22;12;27 - 00;22;16;21
Sarah
So it didn't have to be a bag of coins of loonies in Tunis.
00;22;17;19 - 00;22;21;05
Mark
I would assume that this is so little. It's not up to paper money.
00;22;21;10 - 00;22;22;15
Sarah
Oh, really? Yeah.
00;22;22;19 - 00;22;24;14
Mark
I can be a lot of money.
00;22;24;22 - 00;22;27;01
Sarah
I would have thought added together, it would have been.
00;22;27;01 - 00;22;28;01
Mark
Maybe a couple.
00;22;28;01 - 00;22;34;05
Sarah
Of bucks. You know, speaking of loonies in Tunis, I just recently learned that Tunis were named by the people.
00;22;34;09 - 00;22;38;00
Mark
Yeah, it's a vernacular name, not a no, No, it's not.
00;22;38;12 - 00;22;45;06
Sarah
I thought it was a boating mcboatface thing. No. They ask people what they should call them and people said Tunis. No, no. And so that's what they're called.
00;22;45;06 - 00;22;46;14
Mark
No, no. People just call them.
00;22;46;14 - 00;22;47;12
Sarah
To what are they actually.
00;22;47;12 - 00;22;52;25
Mark
Called? $2 coins, just like the money is just a $1 coin.
00;22;52;25 - 00;22;54;14
Sarah
That's not what I heard.
00;22;54;15 - 00;22;54;26
Mark
Oh.
00;22;55;04 - 00;22;59;07
Sarah
Did you hear? I heard that there was a contest that people would. They should go. Oh, my.
00;22;59;07 - 00;23;00;06
Mark
Gosh. No, no.
00;23;01;03 - 00;23;03;09
Sarah
No, no, no.
00;23;03;24 - 00;23;13;03
Mark
Okay. The $1 coin has a loon on it, right? So it's a loon, right? And then they released $2 coins and everybody said, What are you going to call these? Oh, to me.
00;23;13;08 - 00;23;14;18
Sarah
What's on the $2 coin?
00;23;14;18 - 00;23;16;07
Mark
Oh, any of a number of things.
00;23;16;07 - 00;23;17;13
Sarah
A goose or something.
00;23;17;15 - 00;23;19;15
Mark
A goose. Elizabeth is on.
00;23;19;24 - 00;23;20;14
Sarah
A goosey.
00;23;20;26 - 00;23;21;19
Mark
Goosey.
00;23;21;19 - 00;23;22;05
Sarah
Lazy.
00;23;22;07 - 00;23;24;25
Mark
No, Elizabeth's on. All the money.
00;23;25;04 - 00;23;27;01
Sarah
Is now going to Charles on it. Yeah.
00;23;27;01 - 00;23;31;11
Mark
I'm just going to be money at home. When I get home with Charles, I bet.
00;23;31;11 - 00;23;32;25
Sarah
Yeah, well, he's not been.
00;23;33;07 - 00;23;34;20
Mark
No, he's not coronated yet.
00;23;34;24 - 00;23;36;00
Sarah
Just inaugurated.
00;23;36;00 - 00;23;44;13
Mark
But they have. They do have I don't know if they're loonies or tunics, but they're black. They're commemorative for Elizabeth.
00;23;44;16 - 00;23;46;10
Sarah
Oh, like all the money.
00;23;47;08 - 00;23;50;24
Mark
It's more funerary than.
00;23;51;08 - 00;24;04;16
Sarah
The funeral's been over for a while now, So now it's got money. We get a first here. If you're new to Murdoch, you won't appreciate. But for the first time, Murdoch approaches the crime scene and says, What have you, George?
00;24;04;16 - 00;24;04;29
Mark
Yep.
00;24;05;05 - 00;24;06;15
Sarah
It isn't going to die.
00;24;06;23 - 00;24;08;26
Mark
Is a phrase we will hear many more.
00;24;08;26 - 00;24;12;08
Sarah
Times, is it? What have we, George? Or what have you, George?
00;24;12;13 - 00;24;14;24
Mark
What do we have? George is what he says here.
00;24;14;29 - 00;24;18;25
Sarah
I think later he might say, What have you, George? Sometimes, yes, this is.
00;24;19;03 - 00;24;19;26
Mark
The business.
00;24;19;26 - 00;24;25;27
Sarah
But this is like a signature. Murdoch saying yes, so much so that I almost put it on a T-shirt.
00;24;25;28 - 00;24;34;10
Mark
So they find the body and then Murdoch, they find somebody else and Murdoch knows who he is already. His name is Murdoch.
00;24;34;22 - 00;24;35;29
Sarah
Here in America.
00;24;36;03 - 00;24;41;12
Mark
Yeah. And then who's super drunk? And then Murdoch does the right thing.
00;24;41;17 - 00;24;43;29
Sarah
Yeah, he says, I need to be excused from this case.
00;24;43;29 - 00;24;45;07
Mark
I can not be.
00;24;45;15 - 00;24;51;26
Sarah
And he's like, Nah, pish posh. You're on the case. He's like, But I'm biased. I don't care. We don't have enough people.
00;24;51;27 - 00;24;53;04
Mark
We'd have to give it to bigger.
00;24;53;15 - 00;24;54;26
Sarah
Yeah, we'd have to face.
00;24;55;06 - 00;24;55;21
Sarah
We have to.
00;24;55;29 - 00;24;59;09
Mark
Yes, they would have to give it to Pinkerton. Pinkerton was way in.
00;24;59;20 - 00;25;19;14
Sarah
They could have given it to a different station house. They could have said, Detective, whatever. French station house, whatever. Yeah. We need to borrow you and assign you to this case. Murdoch You go to that station house for now. Well, it would be swampy, and. But now they put the super emotional guy on the case where his dad is accused of murder, and he looks pretty guilty.
00;25;19;14 - 00;25;21;21
Sarah
Yeah. Oh, and he hates them, by the way.
00;25;21;24 - 00;25;26;01
Mark
Yeah. Like, really hates him, and he doesn't even recognize him.
00;25;26;07 - 00;25;31;24
Sarah
He. Well, okay, we're saying him a lot. Yeah. So Murdoch thinks his dad killed his mother.
00;25;32;00 - 00;25;32;21
Mark
And he also.
00;25;33;09 - 00;25;35;17
Sarah
Murders and hasn't seen him in years.
00;25;35;17 - 00;25;38;26
Mark
Father doesn't recognize him. He's so drunk at the beginning, right?
00;25;38;29 - 00;25;55;04
Sarah
Because what happened was when Murdoch was a child, when his mother died, his. He was taken away to a convent, Right. To an orphanage. And I don't know at this point whether his dad gave him up or where they came and took him because his dad was unfit.
00;25;55;04 - 00;25;58;02
Mark
He said he left him for the sisters, I think.
00;25;58;02 - 00;26;01;23
Sarah
Yeah, right. Or yeah, his dad took him to the convent.
00;26;01;23 - 00;26;10;00
Mark
Never mind. In the book. His sister? Yes, Murdoch has a sister. Murdoch has a sister in TV two. But that's not for another couple of seasons.
00;26;10;00 - 00;26;10;07
Sarah
Yeah.
00;26;10;18 - 00;26;13;11
Mark
But yeah, there's no mention of that at all.
00;26;13;13 - 00;26;22;00
Sarah
So he hasn't seen him since then? No, he hasn't seen his dad since then. His dad has no idea what he's become. No. Right. He calls him Willie.
00;26;22;00 - 00;26;22;17
Mark
Willie.
00;26;22;17 - 00;26;31;11
Sarah
It's just so weird. Murdoch is so not a really so Canadian. Like, he's not a Billy. Yeah, you know what? He is a William.
00;26;31;11 - 00;26;33;20
Mark
Yes. He's 100% with William.
00;26;33;29 - 00;26;42;28
Sarah
So Delaney's dead in the river, having been hit with something inside his head. His son Philip finds him and goes back to the pub.
00;26;42;28 - 00;27;05;17
Mark
And this is the I would say this is the end of the time period where autistic people are being portrayed as what the term that Murdoch uses is idiot surveillance. This is at the end of it. I don't think they make the episode the way they do now that that they could in 2008.
00;27;05;20 - 00;27;13;13
Sarah
Okay. So you're saying when this was filmed. Yeah that was when they stopped around the time they stopped doing that, when it set.
00;27;13;15 - 00;27;28;24
Mark
Like from Of Mice and Men to the early 2010, there there's that kind of idiot seven period of portrayal of these characters. Yeah. But now that character is going to be portrayed very differently.
00;27;28;25 - 00;27;48;09
Sarah
I almost feel like the approach taken towards people with intellectual disabilities at the time when this is set is so negative and so hurtful and so misunderstood. Like they just don't understand that the only way to redeem having a character like that and the story is to make them a savant.
00;27;48;14 - 00;27;49;06
Mark
Yes.
00;27;49;13 - 00;27;54;14
Sarah
You know, they so they give him this incredible ability to tell time and do math and.
00;27;54;14 - 00;27;57;01
Mark
That and so he must have some worth because.
00;27;57;01 - 00;28;04;20
Sarah
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's just like I don't like it at all. It's a total copout. And I don't like that he's the killer either.
00;28;04;24 - 00;28;05;23
Mark
No, I don't like that.
00;28;05;23 - 00;28;07;26
Sarah
I think it's. I think it's cheap.
00;28;08;01 - 00;28;08;12
Mark
Yeah.
00;28;08;28 - 00;28;18;12
Sarah
Not that people with disabilities can't be killers. I'm not saying that. I just think it's a cheap plot ploy in this in this case. Well, I'm just going to put that out.
00;28;18;22 - 00;28;24;19
Mark
It kind of like what happens with Philip if he's not the killer is not a good thing.
00;28;24;20 - 00;28;35;12
Sarah
Oh, no, no. Well, even if he is the killer. Yeah, you know, anyway, we're jumping to the end. Okay, so Harry is drunk as a rat. Yes, Bracken. Me? Wrong. Excuse, Murdoch.
00;28;35;14 - 00;28;37;03
Mark
Okay, Fuzzy.
00;28;37;03 - 00;28;44;05
Sarah
So. So Murdoch has to investigate? Yes. When everything's pointing to his dad as being the killer.
00;28;44;12 - 00;28;46;18
Mark
Murdoch has some Murdoch flashbacks here.
00;28;46;26 - 00;28;50;16
Sarah
Yeah, And a pocket watch from his dead fiancee.
00;28;50;27 - 00;28;56;01
Mark
Yeah. I think this may be the last mention of the fiancee of Eliza.
00;28;56;01 - 00;29;17;23
Sarah
Yeah, I hope so. It's kind of a downer. Yeah, this is a fun show. I want Murdoch to do funny things, not be sad. I'm biased. I like fun things. And so the main characters we've got Nukem, who owns the bar, right? Yeah. And we've got John Delaney, who's the victim? Philip Delaney, who's his son. And then there are the Lacey's.
00;29;17;25 - 00;29;21;19
Sarah
Yeah. Walter, who keeps the dogs. And Jess, who's a barmaid.
00;29;21;24 - 00;29;24;29
Mark
I just poisoned the dogs. I don't do part of the fiction.
00;29;25;00 - 00;29;26;05
Sarah
I'm just their dealer.
00;29;26;05 - 00;29;28;12
Mark
Yes. Okay, Snoop.
00;29;28;24 - 00;29;33;17
Sarah
I just give him the coke, the laudanum and the chloroform.
00;29;33;17 - 00;29;35;02
Mark
Yeah, that's all I do.
00;29;35;04 - 00;29;40;04
Sarah
Yeah, And rake some stuff. Sweep, sweep stuff and take care of a bloody ho.
00;29;40;05 - 00;29;47;07
Mark
Yes. Okay. Even if it is Redbud, do you not clean it at the end of every night?
00;29;47;07 - 00;29;49;14
Sarah
I know, Jack.
00;29;49;24 - 00;29;53;13
Mark
By the way, Murdoch's office is spotless in this episode.
00;29;53;17 - 00;29;54;10
Sarah
Are you happy?
00;29;54;10 - 00;29;55;19
Mark
I am.
00;29;55;19 - 00;29;56;23
Sarah
She was too.
00;29;56;27 - 00;29;59;16
Sarah
It's like you can't sleep at night because you need to go clean.
00;29;59;16 - 00;30;02;29
Mark
Murdoch's office. It was too messy in the first episode.
00;30;03;11 - 00;30;07;06
Sarah
So there's something in the morgue in this episode that I don't understand.
00;30;07;06 - 00;30;12;20
Mark
Okay, So he goes to see Julia. Julia in the morgue. It's a good dead body here.
00;30;12;24 - 00;30;17;14
Sarah
Yes. And she says he had no water in his stomach or his lungs. Must have been dead when he went in.
00;30;17;14 - 00;30;19;06
Mark
And dead in the water.
00;30;19;06 - 00;30;40;15
Sarah
And we get an angle of the morgue that we haven't seen yet. Quite at least not for any kind of prolonged period of time from the end, going from one end, going back towards the other end. That isn't where her office is, right? Yeah, her office is elevated at one end. Yeah. And we hardly ever see the other end of that barrel vaulted room.
00;30;40;18 - 00;30;43;02
Sarah
But we do. And there's a ladder.
00;30;43;02 - 00;30;45;13
Mark
Yeah. Why is there a ladder in the morgue?
00;30;45;16 - 00;30;47;14
Sarah
It's like a library ladder.
00;30;47;14 - 00;30;51;19
Mark
Maybe. Maybe the oyster uses a ladder to get up the stairs.
00;30;51;19 - 00;30;56;26
Sarah
Have you ever seen a ladder go? An oyster go up a ladder? Maybe there's nothing at the top of it.
00;30;56;26 - 00;30;57;23
Mark
No, there's nothing.
00;30;58;01 - 00;31;04;26
Sarah
It's attached to a pipe run that only goes across a doorway. It's a weird. And there's nothing above it.
00;31;04;26 - 00;31;07;14
Mark
I noticed that too. I was like, What was that doing there?
00;31;07;15 - 00;31;13;08
Sarah
But even if you climbed it, you could only reach like three foot of ceiling. That's it. I don't get it.
00;31;13;13 - 00;31;13;24
Mark
Did you.
00;31;13;25 - 00;31;23;25
Sarah
Get somebody? I got a picture of it. Somebody look at it and explain why the ladder is there. Because I don't understand. Otherwise, it is such a beautiful room. I love that room.
00;31;23;25 - 00;31;30;17
Mark
Yeah. And Julia totally tries to be the. Tell me more about your father so I can become your girlfriend here.
00;31;31;27 - 00;31;57;17
Sarah
I would like to understand you better, William. Yes. Or maybe, just maybe, you sort of have a grudge against your dad. Yeah, And you might want to think about that and not consider him the only suspect possible. Maybe you should diversify it just a little bit. Yeah, before you go too far. You know, the thing that you were afraid you were going to do and ask Barack and Reid to take you off the case, you're doing that thing.
00;31;57;23 - 00;32;02;09
Mark
And the thing that you said you were going to do, like right away.
00;32;02;09 - 00;32;05;00
Sarah
Then Barack and Reid mentions Pepper on a horse.
00;32;05;06 - 00;32;05;22
Sarah
Yes.
00;32;07;01 - 00;32;07;27
Mark
Okay. First of all.
00;32;07;27 - 00;32;14;29
Sarah
And everything stops. Yeah. What we have, we have, but it's awkward. So we go, Oh, yeah, we know all about that.
00;32;15;00 - 00;32;19;04
Mark
We have to talk about Barack and Reid being the worst undercover person ever.
00;32;19;04 - 00;32;24;28
Sarah
Well, this is before he goes to the bar. He mentions pepper on a horse. Yeah, And what is that? A reference to Mark.
00;32;25;06 - 00;32;32;14
Mark
Gingery, which is a nice term for shoving stuff into a horse bit, including ginger.
00;32;32;19 - 00;32;33;07
Sarah
Pepper.
00;32;33;07 - 00;32;34;09
Mark
Hot peppers.
00;32;34;19 - 00;32;42;00
Sarah
It's putting it either inside the horse's rectum or rubbing it on their genitals to make them run faster? Yes. Would that make you run?
00;32;42;03 - 00;32;44;12
Mark
No, no, no.
00;32;44;12 - 00;32;45;29
Sarah
Unless it was like towards a bucket.
00;32;45;29 - 00;32;50;15
Mark
I'm not sure this is it. Listeners, that we tried this. No, we did not try this.
00;32;50;17 - 00;33;06;16
Sarah
I think common sense says the only thing you would make me do is either want to drag my butt across the ground if I was a horse or put it in a bucket of water. Look, Speedy Dan, the horse you're supposed to be at the starting line. Why are you sitting in the trough? Somebody put pepper on my bit.
00;33;07;09 - 00;33;09;21
Sarah
Of course, Breck and Reid would know about that. Yes.
00;33;09;24 - 00;33;12;12
Mark
Murdoch asks about a search warrant here, and he's like.
00;33;12;21 - 00;33;13;28
Sarah
Fracking reads like, you know.
00;33;15;02 - 00;33;17;03
Mark
We don't need a search for search more.
00;33;17;03 - 00;33;20;03
Sarah
It's much more it. Did you watch me do my work?
00;33;20;03 - 00;33;22;02
Mark
Could you see the gold sign in the bar?
00;33;22;02 - 00;33;24;10
Sarah
Yeah. They accept nuggets and dust as payment.
00;33;24;11 - 00;33;25;28
Mark
Dust as payment.
00;33;26;12 - 00;33;47;13
Sarah
What a job. Yeah. Can you imagine having to, like, weigh it out and go, Well, that's enough for a beer. If it's real, let me get my jeweler's loop out and test it chemically to see if it's real. They're not. They're not in a gold rush area here. Yeah, that's fine. Should not be there. No. Maybe this is a set that they're going to use later when Murdoch is on the frontier out in the West.
00;33;47;22 - 00;33;55;03
Sarah
I don't know, but it's not so. Bracken Reed, for all of his experience, is the worst undercover ever.
00;33;55;06 - 00;33;59;12
Mark
Well, okay. Is he is or is he there to attract attention?
00;33;59;13 - 00;34;04;01
Sarah
He's there to distract him. So but all he does is make himself suspicious.
00;34;04;01 - 00;34;05;25
Mark
Maybe he's doing a great job, but.
00;34;07;21 - 00;34;09;15
Sarah
He puts on a new tie.
00;34;09;15 - 00;34;09;29
Mark
He does.
00;34;09;29 - 00;34;12;28
Sarah
Indeed. And then talks about stuff he doesn't know anything about.
00;34;12;28 - 00;34;15;04
Mark
He certainly has never been to Kentucky.
00;34;15;16 - 00;34;16;18
Sarah
Kentucky Derby.
00;34;16;25 - 00;34;17;21
Mark
The Derby.
00;34;17;25 - 00;34;21;02
Sarah
Just make stuff up. But New Hampshire is knowledgeable.
00;34;21;02 - 00;34;22;06
Mark
Yes, he is.
00;34;22;07 - 00;34;38;28
Sarah
Well, I remember the horse that won in the 1778, whatever. He beat the other horse by 2.25 millisecond, like he knows way too much. Meanwhile, Murdoch is out in the dog kennel, just digging around, Just looking. Yeah. And getting.
00;34;39;22 - 00;34;41;09
Mark
A dog. I'm sure that's nothing.
00;34;41;24 - 00;34;44;10
Sarah
It's just Murdoch being attacked by a German shepherd.
00;34;44;16 - 00;35;00;22
Mark
So Kentucky Derby is contemporary here. It started 1875. It's a weird thing being this close to see to it that we live. You know, as a kid, it was a far away thing. Well, of course, as a kid, Indiana was a faraway matter.
00;35;00;28 - 00;35;06;16
Sarah
It's not exotic to us. Yeah, To the rest of the world. It is an exotic event.
00;35;06;16 - 00;35;09;27
Mark
Yeah, it's a 90 minute down the road track Traffic jam.
00;35;09;27 - 00;35;18;16
Sarah
Yeah. Yeah. With big hats. Yeah. Murdoch finds the medicine cabinet with all the dope in it that they give to the dogs to fix the matches.
00;35;18;24 - 00;35;21;03
Mark
It might as well be labeled drug, Gabby.
00;35;21;03 - 00;35;29;21
Sarah
Yeah, basically. But he gets attacked by the guard dog. The German shepherd bites his arm and he somehow, somehow drugs it.
00;35;29;29 - 00;35;36;24
Mark
Yeah, I didn't. This is a whole bunch of. I'm waving my hands and you're expected to believe this part now?
00;35;36;25 - 00;35;54;26
Sarah
Well, he doesn't know what's in those bottles. No, they're not labeled. That's why he has to take a vial of one of them to have it tested. Yeah, of all of them to have it tested. So he's got a bottle in his. That could be bleach, could be cocaine, could be vodka. He doesn't know. No, but I understand the dog might really, really hurt him.
00;35;55;01 - 00;35;57;11
Sarah
So he's got to do something super Murdoch.
00;35;57;11 - 00;36;02;18
Mark
He just straightens up his coat sleeve and he's fine. That dog would have mauled him.
00;36;02;18 - 00;36;06;18
Sarah
Yeah. How does he get the liquid drugs into the dog?
00;36;06;29 - 00;36;10;21
Mark
It kind of power of Christ compels you.
00;36;10;21 - 00;36;21;20
Sarah
Do you think he despises it? Yeah, I think. Why the dogs biting his arm. He slips the neck of the bottle into the back of the dog's mouth. Yeah, like into the gas.
00;36;21;20 - 00;36;24;06
Mark
I think we've been giving the cat too much medicine.
00;36;24;06 - 00;36;25;17
Sarah
Or is it down his throat.
00;36;25;21 - 00;36;26;15
Mark
To deal with?
00;36;26;15 - 00;36;35;00
Sarah
And then the dog's like, uh, I guess I'll let go. Uh, and then Murdoch is in the wind.
00;36;35;00 - 00;36;42;10
Mark
Yes. God, my father deserves nothing. So then there's a newspaper.
00;36;42;16 - 00;36;55;09
Sarah
Oh, boy. Detectives. Father Suspected murder. Police investigate murder at local pub. Detective assigned. The case is son alleged suspect case not in danger of being compromised. Inspector says like there's some snark there.
00;36;55;09 - 00;37;01;16
Mark
Also deserved all of this would actually have happened. Yeah, newspapers would have went with that.
00;37;01;23 - 00;37;10;05
Sarah
Who's investigating it? Yeah, that's a bad idea. Yeah. Meanwhile, Bracken reads like, Now don't worry about me. Fine, fine. I. Look, I got a new tie on. Look at this. I got a new tie. Look at.
00;37;10;05 - 00;37;10;21
Mark
My fancy.
00;37;10;21 - 00;37;13;25
Sarah
Tie. Once you make that the headline tie, give me or I'll ginger you.
00;37;13;25 - 00;37;14;05
Mark
Yeah.
00;37;15;17 - 00;37;17;03
Sarah
That's the headline in the story.
00;37;17;03 - 00;37;19;17
Mark
Yes. It's not the content.
00;37;19;17 - 00;37;25;14
Sarah
The content of the story is once again Russian ripper.
00;37;25;22 - 00;37;31;23
Mark
So now I'm like is is the newspaper editor obsessed with the Russians.
00;37;32;02 - 00;37;40;22
Sarah
Yes like you can make the headline whatever you want, but the story itself has got to be about Nicholas in the field, the Russian Ripper. We need as much coverage of that as we can.
00;37;40;24 - 00;37;43;03
Mark
This is a great headline but needs more Russian ripper.
00;37;43;03 - 00;37;43;13
Sarah
Yes.
00;37;44;24 - 00;37;50;13
Mark
There's some war production. Bruce sitting, listening to this podcast going, I know I should have changed that.
00;37;50;20 - 00;38;01;12
Sarah
I knew some nerds would look all you nerds, but you can just see the newsroom. The editor's office is completely plastered in like red.
00;38;02;03 - 00;38;03;07
Mark
A red string.
00;38;03;07 - 00;38;05;01
Sarah
It's the Russian Ripper crap.
00;38;05;13 - 00;38;07;12
Mark
Russian ripper who killed the dog?
00;38;07;13 - 00;38;15;18
Sarah
And they come in there like, Boss, we got a good story. This. This detective is investigating a crime, and his own dad is the lead suspect.
00;38;15;20 - 00;38;18;00
Mark
What does that have to do with the Russian River Bridge?
00;38;18;02 - 00;38;22;01
Sarah
Has nothing. Well, it's okay for the headline, but.
00;38;22;25 - 00;38;25;09
Mark
Nobody reads the text anyway. Just put the same thing.
00;38;25;12 - 00;38;28;07
Sarah
In super tiny. Doesn't matter. There's so much of it.
00;38;28;07 - 00;38;32;17
Mark
Only nerds in the future will look at me.
00;38;32;18 - 00;38;33;15
Sarah
Mark.
00;38;33;15 - 00;38;43;27
Sarah
Because future Nicholas is the silly Who's the Russian Ripper is like, Why is this Toronto newspaper talking so much about me? Back off, dude.
00;38;44;04 - 00;38;44;11
Sarah
Look.
00;38;45;08 - 00;38;54;24
Sarah
I'm. I'm in the wind. Stop. Leave me alone. Oh, there's also a story, but the headline is Mr. Manning is the man.
00;38;54;24 - 00;38;58;27
Mark
Is the man. I'm glad Mr. Manning is a man.
00;38;59;07 - 00;39;13;05
Sarah
And the subtitle is some glaring inconsistencies, glaring inconsistency. I don't see anything inconsistent between Manning and man. No, I'm okay. He is the man. He is. His name is Secretly Woman Mr. Woman and.
00;39;13;05 - 00;39;13;23
Mark
Mr. Wells.
00;39;13;23 - 00;39;18;13
Sarah
The man? Yes, he is the man.
00;39;18;15 - 00;39;26;19
Mark
So then we see Harry Murdoch's exterior start to crack. I should have found. Yeah. You wouldn't like the man become.
00;39;27;01 - 00;39;37;13
Sarah
But we don't know if he is doing that. We really? Because he knows his son is going to be really responsible for seeing him hanged or not. Yeah, and he's just sucking up.
00;39;37;18 - 00;39;40;10
Mark
We all know what you're capable of doing when you're drinking.
00;39;40;10 - 00;39;45;03
Sarah
I always loved you. Well, he. You know, I wanted to be there. You were better off with me.
00;39;45;05 - 00;39;46;11
Mark
We will be married.
00;39;46;22 - 00;40;05;12
Sarah
If he's saying that because he doesn't want to go to prison. Or is he saying that because he really thinks that? We don't know? Yeah. I mean, he's not Father's Day material. I know. I love when Murdoch and Crabtree confront Lacey about doping the dogs.
00;40;05;12 - 00;40;07;13
Mark
Yes, stop the dogs.
00;40;07;19 - 00;40;12;21
Sarah
But they're like, But we're the only two who know about them. We would hate for something to come out.
00;40;12;25 - 00;40;15;22
Mark
Yeah, that's some good police work, right there, you know.
00;40;16;10 - 00;40;24;27
Sarah
And Crabtree is in the background making tough faces like. Yeah, what he said. Yeah. You wouldn't want us to leak it.
00;40;24;27 - 00;40;30;14
Mark
And so this episode becomes obsessed with timelines and how quickly you can get somewhere.
00;40;30;17 - 00;40;32;00
Sarah
Oh, because Philip has a watch.
00;40;32;00 - 00;40;38;16
Mark
Yes. And so George goes, I'm running for George. I love how Murdoch relaxes here.
00;40;38;17 - 00;40;41;07
Sarah
Yeah, Just sits with his feet dangling off the bridge.
00;40;42;18 - 00;40;45;08
Mark
Oh, you've done this five times. You could do it another time.
00;40;45;29 - 00;40;50;12
Sarah
Poor George. It's the first of many times that George gets the crap job.
00;40;50;12 - 00;40;50;29
Mark
Yes.
00;40;51;06 - 00;40;54;07
Sarah
Whenever there's a hole to be dug, Crabtree has to do it.
00;40;54;07 - 00;40;59;21
Mark
Yeah. I didn't see the body in the incredible darkness of the forest. At night.
00;41;00;02 - 00;41;09;17
Sarah
They make a big deal out of who doesn't see the body and all they to establish the timeline when it's completely possible that they didn't see the body because it was dark.
00;41;09;17 - 00;41;17;12
Mark
All they needed to do was say it was a full moon. It was a bright night. Yeah. That immediately makes it at least plausible.
00;41;17;12 - 00;41;20;26
Sarah
Yeah. Or that park has one of those new electric lights installed on it.
00;41;20;26 - 00;41;21;24
Mark
Yeah. Ten.
00;41;21;24 - 00;41;28;01
Sarah
Daniel, Isn't that nice? It doesn't. It's dark. It's in the woods. That's why he didn't see the body.
00;41;28;02 - 00;41;30;26
Mark
Another newspaper, Another Russian River.
00;41;31;20 - 00;41;33;17
Sarah
Yes.
00;41;33;17 - 00;41;36;19
Mark
Every single newspaper. You see, all the text is Russian.
00;41;37;06 - 00;41;46;16
Sarah
While the editors, like we still got to talk about the Russian. Never stop talking about this murder in town. Yeah. Don't you know what's important? Julia is running a ladies breathing class in the park.
00;41;46;22 - 00;42;06;25
Mark
What is up with that? What is the note? Say, what is up with that? That is the weirdest thing, Dr. Ogden. Yoga? No, non yoga. Breathing, breathing class in the park with all the women. It's like. It's just weird at first.
00;42;06;25 - 00;42;21;05
Sarah
Do you think this is the end of an exercise class? Yeah. Like they would have been doing some toe touches a few minutes, but now they're winding down and just doing some breathing, and then you find out. No, no, That's all they do is breathe. It's such a hard class to go to.
00;42;21;05 - 00;42;23;09
Mark
It helps with consumption, does it?
00;42;23;23 - 00;42;28;24
Sarah
That's what Murdoch says. Yeah. That's not what the leading thinkers saying. She goes, Well, it can't hurt.
00;42;28;26 - 00;42;29;21
Mark
It's not Murdoch.
00;42;29;23 - 00;42;30;19
Sarah
Breathing can't be.
00;42;30;19 - 00;42;32;04
Mark
Bad. It's we will.
00;42;32;16 - 00;42;42;06
Sarah
We really listen. Can breathing be bad? Meanwhile, all the ladies are like, you know, kind of getting tipsy and spinning because they've been breathing too hard.
00;42;42;10 - 00;42;44;28
Mark
And then we hear about something else. It's too hard.
00;42;45;13 - 00;42;48;17
Sarah
Oh, he had a Delaney had a penis operation.
00;42;48;21 - 00;42;51;15
Mark
Two words that don't need to ever know.
00;42;51;15 - 00;42;56;17
Sarah
Does that hurt when you hear that? And Julia just says it like, Oh, yeah. And his penis was abraded.
00;42;56;22 - 00;42;58;22
Mark
Like those women would have had.
00;42;59;04 - 00;42;59;12
Sarah
Cheese.
00;43;00;05 - 00;43;04;11
Sarah
She's and she said the B-word. All right, guys.
00;43;05;05 - 00;43;06;16
Sarah
We really have.
00;43;06;20 - 00;43;08;07
Mark
More should be doing that.
00;43;09;10 - 00;43;11;26
Sarah
He's trying to be Continental now.
00;43;11;26 - 00;43;12;11
Mark
Yes.
00;43;12;11 - 00;43;15;17
Sarah
That's modern. He can talk about medical things.
00;43;15;17 - 00;43;19;15
Mark
Mark, Julia, you should have called it is We really has.
00;43;19;15 - 00;43;23;08
Sarah
We will. He had a booboo. That's the proper thing to say.
00;43;23;11 - 00;43;32;11
Mark
We find out that Murdoch believes that his mother was drowned after she got beat by his father. Such a happy episode.
00;43;32;12 - 00;43;49;16
Sarah
Okay. Meanwhile, though, Delaney has an abraded penis. There's a bloody hoe in the barn and the kennel that's in my notes and like he buddy. Oh, and a bar. Yeah, it's a dark.
00;43;49;16 - 00;43;50;29
Mark
It's a bloody horn.
00;43;50;29 - 00;43;52;03
Sarah
To see Brackenridge. Yeah.
00;43;52;03 - 00;43;53;06
Mark
And about bloody.
00;43;53;06 - 00;43;57;10
Sarah
Oh Julius shirts are just too much.
00;43;57;10 - 00;43;58;10
Mark
I love them.
00;43;58;10 - 00;44;00;10
Sarah
They have great big collars.
00;44;00;16 - 00;44;01;03
Mark
Great.
00;44;01;10 - 00;44;15;24
Sarah
Great big cuffs, great big poofy sleeves. And then her tiny head is there at the top. Yes, that's it. And they tease her hair up, I think, to upset how big her shirt is. Yeah. To make her head look a little bit.
00;44;15;24 - 00;44;16;28
Sarah
Balanced.
00;44;17;18 - 00;44;27;08
Sarah
There. Just there's so much that blue one that she has on in there testing the blood. It's just it's a lot the collars like touching her ears.
00;44;27;08 - 00;44;28;06
Mark
I like the blue one.
00;44;28;21 - 00;44;29;19
Sarah
Why? I don't.
00;44;29;19 - 00;44;31;25
Mark
Know. I just like the color brings out her eyes.
00;44;31;26 - 00;44;34;05
Sarah
It's a nice color, but man.
00;44;34;05 - 00;44;35;07
Mark
Brings out the red in the.
00;44;35;07 - 00;44;39;13
Sarah
Hull. That's a whole lot of shirt to navigate around when you're trying to get something done.
00;44;39;13 - 00;44;41;03
Mark
It is make it tough to breathe.
00;44;42;05 - 00;44;51;08
Sarah
Not somebody out with your poofy sleeves. The money bag is in the hayloft of the bloody Hoban.
00;44;51;11 - 00;44;58;24
Mark
And at this point, Mark, who has forgotten who did it? The villain in the episode is like, Oh yeah, it's her that.
00;44;58;24 - 00;44;59;27
Sarah
Just did it.
00;45;00;02 - 00;45;01;11
Mark
Da da.
00;45;01;20 - 00;45;06;29
Sarah
He attacked her. He raped her. Yeah. And she killed them. Obviously, the and.
00;45;06;29 - 00;45;11;22
Mark
Yeah, the casualties of rape this episode is is a bit.
00;45;12;09 - 00;45;12;22
Sarah
Moves.
00;45;13;03 - 00;45;17;07
Mark
Yeah. This Murdoch heavy saltshaker collection in his office.
00;45;17;07 - 00;45;20;16
Sarah
No I think they're powdered chemical holders.
00;45;20;20 - 00;45;26;07
Mark
Oh, okay. That makes more sense because that was like that's a thing.
00;45;26;07 - 00;45;28;26
Sarah
But you know, you probably don't want to eat in there.
00;45;28;27 - 00;45;29;11
Mark
No.
00;45;29;11 - 00;45;30;07
Sarah
Because you might go.
00;45;30;07 - 00;45;31;11
Mark
It is neater now.
00;45;31;22 - 00;45;43;06
Sarah
You might accidentally shake some laudanum under your skin or something. Talk about pepper and sunburn. Yeah, it's probably like LED or something. Powdered led, arsenic, Who knows? Yeah.
00;45;43;09 - 00;45;46;12
Mark
What we find out is that she didn't do it. Phillip did it.
00;45;46;24 - 00;45;50;07
Sarah
And she's confessing on his behalf to protect him.
00;45;50;07 - 00;45;55;14
Mark
Yeah, the. And the end of the of the crime stuff that.
00;45;55;16 - 00;45;56;24
Sarah
It is wrapped up really.
00;45;56;29 - 00;45;58;18
Mark
Kind of is like, Oh.
00;45;58;26 - 00;46;03;21
Sarah
Harry, Harry's free. He says, I'm going west. Yeah. We're like, Good riddance, jerk face.
00;46;03;27 - 00;46;04;08
Mark
Yeah.
00;46;04;17 - 00;46;21;21
Sarah
Of course, he says, I didn't kill your mother. She slipped and hit her head. It wasn't my fault. And I believe him because at this point, he has no reason to lie. He's free. Yeah, he could. He could say, Yeah, I did it. I hated her. Get over it and leave. And. But he doesn't.
00;46;21;22 - 00;46;28;08
Mark
The actor does such a good job. The I never hit my wife or my boy. Yeah. Like that's a good scene.
00;46;28;09 - 00;46;38;19
Sarah
I, I fully believe that he's a deadbeat. Yep. And a drunk and no good dad, but I don't think that he hit anybody. Nope, I buy it.
00;46;38;23 - 00;46;47;27
Mark
So end of the episode. Except for the two most exciting people in me in the outside world. One Juliet just wandering around with the newspapers.
00;46;48;00 - 00;47;04;05
Sarah
Yes. Well, we have to get the Murdoch always ends on an up note. Yeah, the even though Philip has now confessed, the whole city is rallying around behind him to save him from the news. So he'll just have life in prison. Isn't that happy? By the way, Russian rapper.
00;47;05;13 - 00;47;09;10
Mark
More Russian River. And then the Dandy Iskander.
00;47;09;12 - 00;47;11;05
Sarah
He's the super dandy.
00;47;11;05 - 00;47;22;00
Mark
The super dandy who walks right in front of Murdoch on the camera like. Like that extra. They must have said, Dude, what are you doing?
00;47;22;01 - 00;47;28;16
Sarah
Super dandy. We told you to walk behind him. He's sitting on a bench outside the police station for no reason at all.
00;47;28;19 - 00;47;32;17
Mark
Incredibly upright, going, Look at me, Look at me, look. Okay, Look at me.
00;47;32;17 - 00;47;33;29
Sarah
He's in Tailcoat.
00;47;33;29 - 00;47;35;14
Mark
Yes, he is super.
00;47;35;14 - 00;47;42;26
Sarah
Dead and top hat and is missing his cape. Yeah. All right. He sits there very, very proud.
00;47;43;07 - 00;47;44;10
Mark
He sees Murdoch.
00;47;44;12 - 00;48;03;10
Sarah
He gets up and walked slowly in front of him with his top hat. Hmm. I am super to end in Super Dome. I wanted him to pause in the middle and then just take off flying. And Murdoch's like, Oh, Julia, you have a newspaper. Let's go to Toronto Island with no prior warning. And I'm probably supposed to be at work.
00;48;03;10 - 00;48;05;04
Sarah
And so were you. But we'll just walk there.
00;48;05;04 - 00;48;05;29
Mark
It's a picnic.
00;48;05;29 - 00;48;06;23
Sarah
Where is it?
00;48;06;28 - 00;48;11;27
Mark
Okay, so Toronto Island is like an island off the coast of.
00;48;11;27 - 00;48;13;12
Sarah
Toronto.
00;48;13;12 - 00;48;15;09
Mark
Right at the center of the city.
00;48;15;10 - 00;48;17;24
Sarah
Okay, So. So it's not in the lake.
00;48;18;07 - 00;48;26;17
Mark
It's. It is, I think maybe a mile at most, maybe two miles from the coast. Okay, so you take a ferry out there now.
00;48;26;18 - 00;48;26;29
Sarah
Okay.
00;48;27;04 - 00;48;39;14
Mark
It is a beautiful spot. Mm hmm. There there are definite, like, kiddy amusement park rides there now. Yeah, like it's like a playground island. But you like a big park.
00;48;39;14 - 00;48;41;12
Sarah
But you would plan your trip there, right?
00;48;41;12 - 00;48;45;10
Mark
You. I don't know how they I don't know when they started running ferries.
00;48;45;10 - 00;48;56;12
Sarah
But I just assume that it's the ferry takes off from the beach or the edge of the water and they would have to walk all the way there. Like, I don't know what they're doing.
00;48;56;14 - 00;48;56;29
Mark
Yeah.
00;48;57;14 - 00;48;59;19
Sarah
She could have easily said, I think, an ice cream cone.
00;48;59;19 - 00;49;00;09
Mark
Well, it was.
00;49;00;09 - 00;49;00;20
Sarah
Like, go.
00;49;00;20 - 00;49;14;20
Mark
Get one, insert Toronto reference here. And then I was like, is so is the beginning. Because we know the first episode was I think after this one, ah they supposed to be at that part like are they on the island doing the electric.
00;49;14;23 - 00;49;15;09
Sarah
You know.
00;49;15;09 - 00;49;17;06
Mark
Demonstration thing? I don't think so.
00;49;17;06 - 00;49;21;27
Sarah
So no, but I'm I'm concerned about her big sleeves. If she's going on a ferry.
00;49;22;03 - 00;49;25;04
Mark
It is awfully romantic to go out to the island.
00;49;25;13 - 00;49;30;07
Sarah
Yeah, it's not a Hey, we're buddy old pals. Let's go to Toronto Island together on a whim.
00;49;30;07 - 00;49;42;24
Mark
And it is like it is a place where you can see the city like you turn you where you go to the island. There are beaches and lookouts where you can see.
00;49;42;27 - 00;50;02;25
Sarah
I'm sure the view is beautiful. Now you is, but at this point beautiful. It would have been similar to that photo that was animated in the last episode with the people who hover above the street. That's the view that you would have look wooden sidewalks and a bunch of horse crap. What a view. We don't really have to do Best corpse.
00;50;02;25 - 00;50;07;09
Sarah
There's only one. Yeah. So I guess he wins it. Yeah. So Nukem is best corpse.
00;50;07;09 - 00;50;08;05
Mark
After the credits.
00;50;08;06 - 00;50;16;06
Sarah
After the credits, I guess we're supposed to hope that Philip gets a little bit of prison time and not a lot, and people treat him nice.
00;50;16;06 - 00;50;20;18
Mark
Maybe. Mrs. Lacey, I think that with him and sort of adopt some kind of.
00;50;20;19 - 00;50;23;13
Sarah
Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Lacey going to stay married?
00;50;23;13 - 00;50;25;02
Mark
I don't know. Like, I don't.
00;50;25;02 - 00;50;26;19
Sarah
See any reason why they wouldn't.
00;50;26;19 - 00;50;30;20
Mark
Know. But this is a time where the woman is blamed for the rape.
00;50;30;21 - 00;50;38;06
Sarah
Well, but he's dead. Yeah, right. So as long as Walter doesn't hold it against her, then it's fine.
00;50;38;14 - 00;50;39;05
Mark
He's a simple.
00;50;39;05 - 00;50;47;09
Sarah
Soul. I guess it'll come out in the trial. Maybe so. If he sticks by her, it'll be fine. And you know Harry's going west.
00;50;47;13 - 00;50;49;23
Mark
Harry's going west and super dandy. Them?
00;50;49;27 - 00;50;50;23
Sarah
Yeah, it's.
00;50;51;17 - 00;50;57;28
Sarah
Super dandy following Harry. Murdock's the West. I don't think he's going to blend in very well there. Super dandy.
00;50;57;28 - 00;51;04;08
Mark
So Murdoch's father appears in a couple other episodes. It's fun. Yeah. Much funnier than this episode.
00;51;04;08 - 00;51;06;06
Sarah
Oh, my gosh, This one's heavy.
00;51;06;16 - 00;51;17;09
Mark
They're definitely trying to figure out tone here, and they I think this is a let's try one of the books. And then everybody went, Let's not do that again.
00;51;17;09 - 00;51;28;17
Sarah
No, no. They don't quite fit where we're going now. So if this episode gets you down, just think about ain't nothing but a beef bang, bang, baby. Oh, you went horrible movie or two.
00;51;28;17 - 00;51;29;06
Mark
Yes.
00;51;29;06 - 00;51;29;21
Sarah
Oh, my God.
00;51;29;23 - 00;51;30;14
Mark
The movie.
00;51;30;14 - 00;51;35;06
Sarah
Me. Stephen McAtee, who plays Harry Murdoch, has made some questionable acting.
00;51;35;13 - 00;51;41;24
Mark
He is a well-known Canadian kid, the character actor. When I first saw my mind, Oh yeah, that guy.
00;51;41;29 - 00;51;51;05
Sarah
He's been in like 95 movies. Yeah, he's been in million movies. Yep. They can't all be good. No. So I have two really horrible ones. Okay.
00;51;51;07 - 00;51;51;20
Mark
Okay.
00;51;51;20 - 00;51;53;29
Sarah
So this is horrible movie. But Mark seen it?
00;51;54;02 - 00;51;54;16
Mark
Yes.
00;51;54;16 - 00;51;55;26
Sarah
Though I'm hoping that you haven't.
00;51;56;01 - 00;51;57;26
Mark
I haven't been doing well so far.
00;51;57;26 - 00;52;18;08
Sarah
Last week I won. Yeah, I guess. In yours. Yeah. That's sad. Yeah. All right. This is a 2013 movie. And again, Stephen McAtee, who plays Harry Murdoch, is in this movie. Here is the tagline of the description A sewage worker gets trapped inside a septic tank during a water contamination crisis and undergoes a hideous transfer mission.
00;52;18;08 - 00;52;23;14
Mark
This is 2013. Okay, so this is not Toxic Avenger?
00;52;23;15 - 00;52;25;29
Sarah
No. Or Chud or TRIBALISTIC. Yeah.
00;52;26;16 - 00;52;29;11
Mark
Well, it's not. It's not Toxic Avenger.
00;52;29;29 - 00;52;32;25
Sarah
The tagline for it is, it's a crappy job.
00;52;32;29 - 00;52;33;09
Sarah
Oh.
00;52;34;09 - 00;52;38;06
Mark
It's a crappy movie. I don't know.
00;52;38;11 - 00;52;43;23
Sarah
It's called Septic Man. Septic man, I think super dandy. And septic man.
00;52;43;28 - 00;52;45;18
Mark
Super dead in septic.
00;52;46;02 - 00;52;50;02
Sarah
Oh, I could possibly go down in the sewer to fight him. How disgusting.
00;52;50;08 - 00;52;53;00
Mark
To be a great title for the episode, but we can't, you know.
00;52;53;08 - 00;53;14;26
Sarah
It gives it away. Yeah. All right. That's the one for me. The second one again, Steven McAtee is in this. Oh, boy. I had to kind of tweak this description so not to give it away. A woman is cursed with turning into a dinosaur when her husband is caught messing with bones on an ancient burial ground. Her husband, children, friends and neighbors must come to terms with her new look.
00;53;15;26 - 00;53;16;21
Sarah
Hmm. Uh.
00;53;17;00 - 00;53;18;27
Sarah
It stars Beverly D'Angelo.
00;53;19;00 - 00;53;22;04
Mark
Yeah. I have seen something about this.
00;53;22;07 - 00;53;29;15
Sarah
Who? If you don't recognize her, she's. She's the mom in the National Lampoon's vacation movies. Yeah, And then lots of stuff.
00;53;30;03 - 00;53;35;16
Mark
Maybe something around Velociraptor or Velociraptor Louis or something.
00;53;35;17 - 00;53;41;09
Sarah
It's the only movie where you see a pterodactyl being chased by a stealth fighter. Yes, a jet.
00;53;41;16 - 00;53;44;24
Mark
I'm trying to think of other movies that might have a jet. And it's a.
00;53;44;24 - 00;53;46;14
Sarah
1996.
00;53;46;14 - 00;53;49;19
Mark
Oh, so it's a Jurassic Park rip off? I don't know.
00;53;49;26 - 00;53;53;22
Sarah
Not even close. It's called Pterodactyl, A woman from Beverly Hills.
00;53;54;01 - 00;53;57;05
Mark
Oh, no. Wow. Never heard of that.
00;53;57;09 - 00;53;58;25
Sarah
It's a trauma movie. Oh.
00;53;59;14 - 00;54;09;24
Mark
Well, okay, so trauma is is the people who brought you Toxic Avenger. So. So it's a trauma movie I haven't seen, which I've seen quite a few trauma movies.
00;54;09;24 - 00;54;11;07
Sarah
But her name's Pixie.
00;54;11;11 - 00;54;11;23
Mark
Of course.
00;54;12;03 - 00;54;14;05
Sarah
And she turns into a pterodactyl.
00;54;14;09 - 00;54;14;25
Mark
Of course she.
00;54;14;25 - 00;54;17;21
Sarah
Does though now we would say a pterosaur.
00;54;17;21 - 00;54;22;07
Mark
Pterosaur because they all change their names, which is okay because science moves forward.
00;54;22;07 - 00;54;24;14
Sarah
Pterodactyl is so like 1980.
00;54;24;15 - 00;54;25;24
Mark
Yeah, that's okay.
00;54;25;27 - 00;54;27;15
Sarah
It's a pterosaur sounds.
00;54;27;16 - 00;54;27;24
Mark
Moves.
00;54;27;24 - 00;54;30;17
Sarah
Roar. It should be a saw woman from Beverly Hills.
00;54;30;17 - 00;54;33;00
Mark
We used to call them Iguanodon, for God's sakes.
00;54;33;08 - 00;54;37;01
Sarah
Again, super dandy. Should fight Pterodactyl Woman. Yes.
00;54;37;14 - 00;54;39;03
Mark
And it should fight Pterodactyl.
00;54;39;03 - 00;54;45;02
Sarah
And Bing Crosby should do the theme song. Yes. That's two for me. Durable movies.
00;54;45;02 - 00;54;46;00
Mark
Are you.
00;54;46;01 - 00;54;47;07
Sarah
All right? What do we have Next week?
00;54;47;12 - 00;55;11;20
Mark
Merch sales are going to target ovarian cancer, so please pick up some merch. We should have some new designs up there soon. Mystery Maniacs is on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and email. Next week we have episode number seven Body Double, which, speaking of capes, we see back and read in the cave. Oh, because he goes to the theater.
00;55;11;27 - 00;55;14;11
Sarah
Yes. All right. See you next, week maniacs.
00;55;14;11 - 00;55;15;17
Mark
Bye bye.
00;55;15;17 - 00;55;31;27
Sarah

00;55;31;27 - 00;55;36;04
Mark
