are unwrapped OLIVIA: basically just one boat accident was a catalyst
for the downfall of this entire family
8
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000
OLIVIA: in uncovering all these crimes they basically hit in but they

9
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:28,000
SYD: So in South Carolina in February 2019 there are six kids from the
ages of 18 to 20 and they're all on a boat to go to
10
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
SYD: Oyster roast OLIVIA: now I don't know what an oyster roast

11
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
OLIVIA: So you roast oysters
12
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
OLIVIA: It's a thing in the south
13
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:48,000
OLIVIA: You go get on the boat and go to an oyster roast that's a very
normal
14
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
SYD: Connor Cook and Miley Altman
15
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
OLIVIA: Are a couple and then we have Connors cousin Anthony
16
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
OLIVIA: And his girlfriend Mallory Beach we got three couples on the
final couple is
17
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000
SYD: Paul
18
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And Morgan Palmer. OLIVIA: And his girlfriend Morgan Doty
19
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:14,000
SYD: Take me to Paul's grandfather's house down the river it's bring
your own booze you know they're taking Snapchat
20
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:24,000
SYD: Watch the Murdoch murders on Discovery Plus; it's pretty wild.
21
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:34,000
SYD: The whole night there drinking these are kids you know they're 18
to 20 so it's obviously it's underage drinking drinking OLIVIA: a lot
of hard Seltzer a lot of it is captured on Snapchat
22
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
SYD: They go on this boat after drinking you know they get to the
oyster roast and then they're about to leave around midnight
23
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
SYD: And they're gone for 2 hours and supposed to go straight back
24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
OLIVIA: But it's two hours later and they're not at their home dock
25
00:02:50,000 --> 00:03:00,000
SYD: This night was cold so conditions were foggy and bad and Paul was
the one driving the boat now see and all these Snapchat videos Paul is
driving
26
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
SYD: He's driving pretty recklessly OLIVIA: and he is he is very drunk
there's a point where
27
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
OLIVIA: They pull off to the side and I think
28
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:19,000
OLIVIA: All the girls and Anthony go to a park and sit down for a
second and there's like security cam footage of the docks and Paul and
Connor go into a bar and they're taking you know lemon
29
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
OLIVIA: Lemon Drop shots and
30
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:30,000
SYD: You're just getting drinking more when they're about to drive and
all the other kids are saying like hey you need to let someone else
drive you need
31
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000
SYD: You need to stop like you're driving recklessly OLIVIA: to Paul
specifically cuz Paul is the drunkest and driving the most if he's
driving
32
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,000
SYD: And obviously he just does not give up power of the boat OLIVIA:
this time of year in South Carolina
33
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
OLIVIA: You know in the water there's
34
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
OLIVIA: Terrible like fog
35
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000
SYD: Eventually obviously they crash you know they crash into a bridge
I believe
36
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
OLIVIA: The way crash
37
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
OLIVIA: Goes down is is really crazy because I guess
38
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
OLIVIA: Anthony is saying Paul let me drive the boat
39
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
OLIVIA: I guess Paul at
40
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:17,000
OLIVIA: A certain point starts heading down Archers Creek and stops
the boat like the boat stops and then all of a sudden he pushes the
throttle down all the way
41
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000
OLIVIA: So it's like they're going from nothing to really fast and the
boat crashes into a bridge pylon
42
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
OLIVIA: And the boat is just wrecked
43
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
SYD: Right and three people are injected from the boat so the three
people ejected from the boat are Anthony and Mallory the couple and
Paul OLIVIA: the driver
44
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
OLIVIA: And meanwhile Connor and Morgan, Paul's girlfriend,
45
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
OLIVIA: Are all still in the boat and really injured
46
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
SYD: Yeah we've got like there's like a hand injuries as a face gash
is terrible
47
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,000
SYD: So
48
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:58,000
SYD: Now they're all looking around you know that they're all crashing
they're all looking around for each other trying to make sure
everybody's there
49
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:07,000
SYD: And only person they can't find is Mallory Anthony's girlfriend
Mallory obviously she was ejected from the boat with Paul and Anthony
50
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
SYD: And none of them can find her and they're all yelling out for her
and they can't find her anywhere
51
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
SYD: So eventually Connor calls for help
52
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
OLIVIA: 20 minutes or so after the boat crash and then 20 minutes
after Connor calls another police and everyone arrived
53
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:29,000
SYD: If you watch the docu-series they have all of the 911 recording
the police come to the scene and the boat crash and it's crazy it's
really crazy
54
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:39,000
SYD: And Anthony is trying to contact his mom is like breaking down
everyone is freaking out because you know they can't find one of their
friends OLIVIA: And everyone is super injured, covered in water, and
covered in blood
55
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
SYD: And Paul. Who was driving the boat. Is smiling
56
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
SYD: And laughing
57
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:58,000
OLIVIA: Paul's just like messing with the cops he's smiling he's
having a great time apparently. Anthony is very mad at this.
58
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:08,000
SYD: Apparently Paul gets down to his boxers and is just messing
around with people OLIVIA: I guess that's just going to be a theme
with Paul. The thing about Paul is he is just a really really
uncontrollable drunk.
59
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
SYD: Really
60
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:19,000
OLIVIA: Uncontrollable drunk out of the things that happen happen when
he's uncontrollably drunk and that includes stripping down to his
boxers and trying to fight
61
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:27,000
OLIVIA: The cops
62
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
SYD: So let's get into Paul Murdaugh for a second
63
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:40,000
SYD: So we need to talk about why this kid thinks he doesn't need to
be serious in this situation OLIVIA: Why is he laughing when the cops
are going
64
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
OLIVIA: Where is the girl who you ejected out of the boat
65
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
SYD: So Paul Murdaugh comes from this long line of lawyers
66
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
SYD: In South Carolina
67
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:59,000
SYD: The Murdaugh family is basically synonymous with the law OLIVIA:
to the point when the police are there Anthony is actually recorded
saying to the cops
68
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
OLIVIA: You know what to the cops you know Alex Murdaugh that's his
son good luck
69
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
SYD: Yeah. OLIVIA: Paul saying like nothing bad is going to happen to
him
70
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:17,000
SYD: Yeah so let's go into this family history for second with Paul
Murdaugh. Paul is the youngest son of Alex Murdaugh SYD: now right
before we move on this is a huge elephant in the room
71
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
OLIVIA: This is a huge elephant in the room. SYD: It's a huge elephant
in the room and we have to talk about it.
72
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
SYD: In the show on Discovery Plus
73
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
SYD: Every person they interview
74
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
SYD: Calls him Alec Murdaugh.
75
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
SYD: His name is spelled
76
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
SYD: A-L-E-X. Alex
77
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
SYD: Murdaugh
78
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:39,000
SYD: They're saying that it's Alec Murdaugh OLIVIA: but when I read it
that's Alex but everyone says Alec SYD: every person calls him Alec
his name is spelled Alex
79
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:49,000
SYD: We're going to call him "Alec" cuz that is what everyone calls
him OLIVIA: but it makes no sense because it's spelled Alex SYD: so
that's just so we just needed to point that out
80
00:07:50,000 --> 00:08:00,000
SYD: So Paul Murdaugh is the youngest son of this guy Alex Murdaugh
and Alex is the latest in a long line of South Carolina lawyers
81
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:10,000
OLIVIA: Basically they've always been pretty much synonymous with the
law in this County SYD: so it starts with this guy Randolph senior
OLIVIA: right in like 1920
82
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:20,000
SYD: He gets selected as the solicitor of the 14th judicial circuit
OLIVIA: And that's another word for a District Attorney. It's the lead
prosecutor.
83
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
OLIVIA: It's the person who decides in a county
84
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
OLIVIA: Which crimes
85
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,000
OLIVIA: are
86
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
OLIVIA: Gone after which crimes are prosecuted, which ones go to court
and which ones do not
87
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:39,000
SYD: So this is a big job and for 20-years Randolph senior is the most
powerful lawyer in town OLIVIA: right SYD: and then when he retires
88
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
SYD: His son takes over so that's Randolph the second
89
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000
SYD: Beautiful original name as who I guess it's called Buster to his
friends which
90
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
SYD: That is not a nickname of Randolph. This family has a weird thing
with names.
91
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:05,000
SYD: Alex is pronounced Alec Randolph is called Buster there's another
Buster to later on we'll get into that later guys
92
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:15,000
SYD: So Buster, Randolph the second, holds the position from 1940
until 1986
93
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000
OLIVIA: He's the lead prosecutor for 46 years. SYD: Randolph the Third
94
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
OLIVIA: They love it love it love to reduce reuse recycle
95
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
SYD: Randolph the third takes over
96
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
SYD: And he's the lead prosecutor
97
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:38,000
SYD: From 1986 until 2006 top of OLIVIA: basically having
uninterrupted control of
98
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:48,000
OLIVIA: The town and being district attorneys for 86 years. Six years
of uninterrupted Carol they also have a law firm Law Firm SYD: which
is literally
99
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Really such a conflict of interest OLIVIA: absolutely and Ralph as in
Alex's Dad
100
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000
OLIVIA: is still a partner and so are his two sons Alex and Alex's
brother Randy
101
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:09,000
OLIVIA: So it's awhole lot like it's so mad SYD: this super powerful
Law Firm is not only like defending people in court
102
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:19,000
SYD: But that family is also deciding who goes to court OLIVIA: you
walk into the courtroom portraits of all of their family members like
103
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
SYD: Imagine being against the lawyer figure that has photos of
104
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:35,000
SYD: Their father their grandfather and their great-grandfather on the
wall. I think you'd be thinking I won't be winning this one at all.
OLIVIA: I don't think so. SYD: you're playing an away game at that
point
105
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,000
SYD: So this is like their home team.
106
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
SYD: Yeah so it's pretty insane
107
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:53,000
OLIVIA: So it makes sense that Paul would think that he could be above
the law SYD: sure he comes from a family who decides what the law is
exactly he's acting like he is
108
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:03,000
OLIVIA: He's laughing he's f****** with the cops. police arrive and
everyone is getting escorted to an ambulance
109
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
OLIVIA: Paul needs to get
110
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:14,000
OLIVIA: Escorted to his [ambulence] by the cops. He can't just walk
over. He's belligerent and they have to make sure that this guy is
safe at all costs
111
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
SYD: The shortest police escort ever like the shortest
112
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:18,000
OLIVIA: A short walk.
113
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:28,000
SYD: Really really small distance. So Paul asks for a phone. He's
trying to get a phone and he finally gets one from the EMT.
114
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
OLIVIA: So he calls his grandfather Randolph. Classic name. Speaking
of names.
115
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
SYD: Okay
116
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
SYD: You guys
117
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:44,000
SYD: This is bad they mentioned this briefly OLIVIA: It is brushed
over in the docuseries and we had to dive into it.
118
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
SYD: Olivia and I were like why sweep this under the rug
119
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
SYD: This is a lot to unpack
120
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
SYD: Randolph is called
121
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
SYD: Handsome OLIVIA: his nickname that all his grandkids call him and
everyone in his family calls him is
122
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,000
OLIVIA: Handsome
123
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,000
SYD: They called him this because
124
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:06,000
SYD: Randolph asked to be called This OLIVA: by his granddaughters
because he said a woman has never called me handsome always wanted a
woman to
125
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:16,000
OLIVA: To refer to me as handsome like as my name SYD: so this was his
chance OLIVA: he made his granddaughters call him handsome
126
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:26,000
SYD: It's also so crazy because
127
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:35,000
SYD: it's usually a fun name. Like bubby. Oh it's Nana. Handsome?
OLIVA: Handsome is like a really bizarre nickname for a grandfather
like I understand
128
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:45,000
OLIVA: A grandfather calling like a little kid that like off look at
you handsome like you know just being like you know supportive. When
it's a child having to call an old man handsome
129
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
OLIVA: Handsome as his first name is
130
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:57,000
OLIVA: Absolutely SYD: Also so weird to picture nineteen-year-old Paul
like on the scene of a crime calling his grandfather and going hey
handsome. I just got in a boat crash, handsome.
131
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:07,000
SYD: How you doing OLIVA: yeah yeah too weird. So here we have a
segment called Worse Nicknames for Your Grandfather than Handsome.
132
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:17,000
OLIVA: Sad, do you have any nicknames that you would think are worse
for a grandfather?
133
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:27,000
SYD: Sure I would never ever call my grandfather I would never call
him sexy I would never call my grandfather sexy a little bit
134
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000
OLIVA: Baby doll
135
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:47,000
SYD: Hot Mama sugar pie. OLIVA: I would hope your grandfather would
never ask you to call him that. SYD: Or respond to it.
136
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:57,000
OLIVA: Sex on wheels. SYD: He could be on wheels he could not be.
OLIVA: Yeah he could be. I think the name is bad regardless.
137
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:07,000
SYD: Yeah yeah no thanks. Here's one mister tasty.
138
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:17,000
OLIVA: How about kiss magnet. Or like magnet for my kisses. That's
pretty bad.
139
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:27,000
SYD: Sex God. OLIVA: That's a bad one. SYD: Can you imagine someone
being like yeah we're going to Grandma and Sex God's house for
Thanksgiving. No thanks.
140
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:37,000
OLIVA: Don't call your grandfather the Mayor of Orgasms or something.
141
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,000
SYD: Hard no.
142
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:49,000
OLIVA: Yeah you can really go off the deep end so I'd cut it before
handsome SYD: also previously when we talked about House of Hammer
they also had some interesting ways of
143
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
SYD: Getting way too invested in their
144
00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:02,000
SYD: Father and grandfather's sex lives. I don't know why this is a
theme. OLIVA: I feel bad for anyone who has to know anything about
their father or grandfather's sex lives.
145
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:12,000
SYD: Yeah I don't want to know any of these. We don't want to
sexualize grandfathers. OLIVA: And if the grandfather is trying to
sexualize himself, I'm going to pass.
146
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:22,000
OLIVA: So that was a segment called Worse Nicknames for Your
Grandfather than Handsome.
147
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
OLIVA: So Paul calls Handsome and he goes Hey Handsome. SYD: I just
crashed your boat OLIVA: I just crashed your boat
148
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:34,000
OLIVA: You're handsome SYD: I'm going to the hospital now with a
police escort
149
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:44,000
OLIVA: And he says by the way my friend Connor is the one who was
driving the boat. Which is not true. SYD: No. There are Snapchats to
prove it. OLIVA: Paul immediately calls handsome pins it on Connor and
also during this Connors girlfriend Miley is standing right next to
Paul
150
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:52,000
SYD: She fully hears it. And they're like are you kidding right now.
So the kids get taken to the hospital.
151
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
SYD: They're put in separate rooms.
152
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,000
SYD: Paul starts being super inappropriate to the hospital staff.
Shocker. OLIVA: I'm shocked by this.
153
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
SYD: They're actually not even able to take his blood-alcohol
154
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:14,000
SYD: Percentage for like 90 minutes or 90 minutes because he's just
being wild OLIVA: which is very convenient and helpful for him SYD:
and like he has 90 minutes
155
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
SYD: Minutes to chill out
156
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000
OLIVA: And for his alcohol percentage to go to town now which is
totally messed up
157
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
SYD: Yeah
158
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
SYD: Guess who shows up OLIVA: is it Handsome
159
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000
SYD: So Alex which is Paul's father OLIVA: And Handsome which is a
nickname for Randolph
160
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
SYD: Show up to the hospital
161
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
SYD: They're trying to get all the kids
162
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,000
SYD: To not only be quiet but to also change their stories
163
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
OLIVA: Literally
164
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
OLIVA: Trying to go into the hospital rooms where the kids are
165
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:55,000
OLIVA: To talk to the kids before the cops do SYD: now I don't know if
you guys know anything about rules or hospitals but like it's a thing
that like only I'm pretty sure only your spouse
166
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
OLIVA: Yeah SYD: can like come into a hospital room and like
167
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000
SYD: Hang out with you. I mean not your friend's grandfather
168
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
OLIVA: Especially not your friend who hurt everyone. That person's
lawyer grandfather and father should not be coming into your room
169
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
OLIVA: To talk to you about anything to the point where
170
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
OLIVA: Morgan actually who is, and this is
171
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
OLIVA: a dark moment
172
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
OLIVA: This is like the
173
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
OLIVA: Patient like
174
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
OLIVA: Morgan who is Paul's girlfriend
175
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
OLIVA: Does not want Paul's father to come into her
176
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:39,000
OLIVA: Hospital room because she's afraid of what he'll do. Which is
scary because she must know him best out of all these kids. SYD:
That's horrifying. That's just a bad sign.
177
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:49,000
SYD: So you have Alex and Handsome- unfortunately that's his name-
178
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:59,000
SYD: Or whatever- are going into these kids' rooms and saying hey
don't say anything to the point where allegedly Alex followed Connor
down the hall as their wheeling him into surgery and he says Jaws on
us
179
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
SYD: Promise you everything will be okay
180
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
SYD: We're going to represent you everything's going to be fine just
don't say anything
181
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
SYD: In reality the plan is to pin it on Connor. OLIVA: absolutely
182
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000
SYD: So they're telling this kid. We're the adults here. That we'll
take care of it. OLIVA: We'll make it all okay.
183
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:29,000
SYD: And their plan is to make this kid seem like he's the one driving
the boat OLIVA: to throw him completely under the bus to save Paul
184
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
OLIVA: That's kind of a pattern for them. They will tell people
185
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:38,000
OLIVA: Don't worry I'll take care of it I'm going to be okay you're
with me and then they will directly like
186
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
OLIVA: Mess with those people
187
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:49,000
SYD: And it's always people who think they can trust them
188
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,000
OLIVA: They have a reputation as trustworthy District Attorneys who
are a big deal. SYD: And. They're talking to people who are friends of
the family who have been friends for years. OLIVA: They know them.
189
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000
SYD: Who are these people would never do anything like for me you know
they're there for me
190
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
SYD: But this family doesn't have any loyalty to anyone but themselves
191
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
OLIVA: Plus they know like everything about criminal liability and
civil liability
192
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
OLIVA: They know what
193
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,000
OLIVA: has to be said what has to not be said
194
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
OLIVA: They know how to puppet master a whole situation to get out of
trouble
195
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
OLIVA: When they're in trouble. Which is a thing we learn
196
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:33,000
OLIVA: Largely after this boat crash SYD: They know the system and
they also not have profit off this is OLIVA: absolutely SYD: and it's
just going to get worse from here it's insane so I mean through all of
this
197
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000
SYD: Remember there's a child missing
198
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
SYD: And
199
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:50,000
SYD: Alec and Handsome are immediately trying to cover Paul's ass
instead of even focusing on the fact that there is a child who is
still missing
200
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
SYD: Never got back from this boat crash and where is she? Where's
Mallory?
201
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
OLIVA: The boat crash really was only the beginning
202
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
SYD: In fact it opened up something so much darker
203
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:11,000
SYD: So if you want to follow along watch Murdaugh murders on
Discovery plus OLIVA: and come check out Dark Dynasties. We'll be
talking about the Murdaughs for the next couple of
