So many lies.

What else was he hiding
from the world?

7
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:23,524
How could the deception
go so deep?

00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:26,193
Can we ever trust anyone?

Looks can be deceiving.
Nothing is as it seems.

What is she doing under there?

29
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:17,377
Hmm. Something so troubling
she doesn't want us to find out.

30
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:20,380
As her friends,
we should respect that.

Honey, what are you
listening to?

00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:29,523
Uh, you know, just some
gentle ASMR noises

34
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,792
to soothe me to sleep.

You've been listening

Hoda Kotb said on <i>The Today Show</i>
those are really disturbing.

- Hoda.
- Mom, I can handle it.

45
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,286
There's no swear words,
just killing.

46
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:01,355
How many of these
have you listened to?

47
00:02:01,421 --> 00:02:03,724
I don't know.
Just two or three a day.

48
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,859
And then maybe a couple more
to take the edge off.

49
00:02:05,926 --> 00:02:09,229
And then one in the morning
just to get normal.

00:02:09,296 --> 00:02:11,765
Wha‐‐ I'm not addicted, I swear.

51
00:02:11,832 --> 00:02:15,068

(grunts, scoffs) Oh.

59
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:35,255
I better listen to one and make
sure Lisa's not too traumatized.

60

Whatever. I'm hitting the hay.

of <i>Killing Her Softly.</i>

We need to talk about
Angela's landlord.

68
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:59,246
Why did he allow her
to pay for a year up front?

69
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,448
What did Sergei know?

70
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:04,251
(chuckles)
We have much to discuss.

71
00:03:04,317 --> 00:03:06,053
Okay, pause.

72
00:03:06,119 --> 00:03:08,055
It's like
the police intentionally

73
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:10,223
screwed up the investigation.

74
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:12,459
Right? Drops of blood
you can explain,

75
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:15,595
- but drops of brain?
- I know.

76
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:17,397
Okay, play.

77
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:20,634
Okay, pause. They totally
ignored the text messages

78
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:24,271
- from the coroner's mistress.
- Okay, play. Play.

79
00:03:24,337 --> 00:03:26,540
- Mm. Mm‐hmm. Mm‐hmm.
- Oh. Oh.

80
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:29,276
- Mm‐mm. Oh, yeah.
- Hmm. Hmm.

81
00:03:30,343 --> 00:03:34,881
How could a woman
with four PhDs be so dumb?

82
00:03:34,948 --> 00:03:36,550
BOTH:
So dumb.

83
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:39,286
I've never seen two people
agree with each other so much.

84
00:03:39,352 --> 00:03:41,121
I disagree. Come on, you two.

85
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:42,823
We're supposed to visit
Grampa today.

86
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:45,292
- Homie, we can't go.
- Our favorite podcast

87
00:03:45,358 --> 00:03:48,428
is recording a live episode,
and we have tickets.

88
00:03:48,495 --> 00:03:51,264
If we gasp loud enough,
we might hear ourselves.

89
00:03:51,331 --> 00:03:53,266
‐(gasps loudly) ‐(laughs)

90
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,702
Save it for the show, Mom.

91
00:03:56,937 --> 00:03:58,305
Now, remember, Bart,

92
00:03:58,371 --> 00:04:01,074
Grampa's life is
very lonely and boring.

93
00:04:01,141 --> 00:04:04,344
So make sure to look at
your watch every few seconds

94
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:06,079
so he knows you want to leave.

95
00:04:06,146 --> 00:04:07,914
Here, take some of these.

96
00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:13,253
Why is my dad's weird old tie
hanging on his doorknob?

97

‐(Homer gasps) ‐(both moaning)

98
00:04:17,524 --> 00:04:20,694

Don't you know the code?

101
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,900
If the bolo's a‐hanging,
the dentures be clanging.

102
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:30,170
This is my new girlfriend,
Vivienne Saint Charmaine.

103
00:04:30,237 --> 00:04:34,775
Abe‐y, you didn't tell me your
brothers were coming to visit.

104
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:37,911
- (laughs): Oh, well. Oh, my.
- Aw, shucks.

105
00:04:37,978 --> 00:04:41,381
Say, you look familiar.
Did you used to be younger?

106
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:43,950
Vivienne was a big‐time TV star.

107
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:48,021
She was on all the hit shows,
and I was a huge fan.

108
00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:49,823
HOMER:
A little magazine.

109
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:52,793
But you probably know me best
as the scheming yet conniving

110
00:04:52,859 --> 00:04:57,264
Olympic diver Darcy Covington
on <i>Falcon Landing.</i>

111
00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:59,232
Ma'am, if you're
a big shot has‐been,

112
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,635
why are you dating
a small‐town never‐was?

113
00:05:01,701 --> 00:05:04,070
All my life,
I dated unwrinkled men

114
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:05,839
who told short, concise stories.

115
00:05:05,906 --> 00:05:08,642
But Abe here showed me
what I've been missing.

116
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:11,444
- He's so sweet he should
come with an insulin pump.
- (chuckles)

117
00:05:11,511 --> 00:05:14,981
Well, thanks for stopping by,
but we've got two bingo games,

118
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:17,717
a couple's colonoscopy...

119
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:23,590
...and then we're off
to a romantic dinner cruise.

120
00:05:25,025 --> 00:05:27,060
- Dude.
- Bro.

121
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:29,930
- Seriously.
- I know.

122
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:32,766
(melancholy music playing)

123
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:39,139
From <i>This American Crime</i>
and KBBL Springfield,

124
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:41,508
it's <i>Interminable,</i>

125
00:05:41,575 --> 00:05:46,546
one grisly story
told week after week after week

126
00:05:46,613 --> 00:05:48,215
after week.

127
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:50,984
Hello. I'm Tabitha Shingle.

128
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:52,419
(cheering)

129
00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:55,021
She's even more dry in person.

130
00:05:55,088 --> 00:05:56,756
Some people look
at a neck and think,

131
00:05:56,823 --> 00:05:58,758
"What a great place
for a scarf,"

132
00:05:58,825 --> 00:06:01,628
and others think,
"I'd like to choke that."

133
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:05,665
For Jackson Reeb of Lansing,
Michigan, it was the latter.

134
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:07,734
(cheering)

135
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:12,606
(tires screech)

136
00:06:14,407 --> 00:06:16,643
Hey, hey, hey.
Easy on the hurricane hold.

137
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:19,713
We're just doing a story
on the podcast craze.

138
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:21,248
Podcast? (scoffs)

139
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:23,116
Flash‐in‐the‐pan
wannabe journalism.

140
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:25,218
Mark my words, Jerry,
nobody cares.

141
00:06:25,285 --> 00:06:27,587
Now to open this door.

142
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:30,223
(crowd cheering)

143
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:34,261
Our podcast has gotten
over 20 million downloads

144
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:37,797
and is being adapted
into a streaming series

145
00:06:37,864 --> 00:06:42,969
starring Alexander Skarsgard
on Amazon Prime.

146
00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:44,738
(cheering)

147
00:06:44,804 --> 00:06:46,239
(groans)

148
00:06:46,306 --> 00:06:48,975
Ugh. Stupid podcasts.

149
00:06:49,042 --> 00:06:50,710
Thank God I have my family.

150
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:53,213
Now to open this door.

151
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:58,985
(Kent scoffs, groans)

152
00:06:59,052 --> 00:07:00,487
(groans):
Oh.

153
00:07:01,554 --> 00:07:02,689
(sighs)

154
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:06,693
This is Kent Brockman,
yesterday's news.

155
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:11,064
And in the end, the donkey
turned out to be a horse.

156
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:12,832
(sighs)
You're only watching this

157
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:15,435
because somebody left the TV on
in a doctor's waiting room.

158
00:07:15,502 --> 00:07:17,904
W‐Wait, w‐wait a second.
We have breaking news!

159
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:19,940
<i>There's been a murder
on the high seas.</i>

160
00:07:20,006 --> 00:07:21,474
<i>A local woman is presumed dead</i>

161
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:23,576
<i>after going overboard
on a cruise ship.</i>

162
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:26,179
A woman disappears
from a cruise.

163
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:27,847
I wonder who did it.

164
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,716
Could it be...

165
00:07:29,783 --> 00:07:32,752
BOTH:
The husband or boyfriend?
Mm‐hmm.

166
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:35,221
That's the lady
Grampa was kissing.

167
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:39,025
Grampa's the husband
or boyfriend?

168
00:07:39,092 --> 00:07:41,494
Authorities say the missing
woman is retired starlet

169

Vivienne Saint Charmaine.

170
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:45,665
Her boyfriend or husband,
Abraham Simpson,

171
00:07:45,732 --> 00:07:47,734
<i>has been detained
for questioning.</i>

172
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,135
Grampa? A killer?

173
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,813
He doesn't have
that kind of follow‐through.

174
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:54,374
Did Abe Simpson do it?
No one can say for sure.

175
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:58,645
But this story has the makings
of a hit crime podcast.

176
00:07:58,712 --> 00:08:04,150
Join me as I take a fair and
unbiased look on <i>Guilty Grampa.</i>

180

A romantic sunset cruise,
the perfect setting

183
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:24,471
for new love between
a fading Hollywood actress

184
00:08:24,537 --> 00:08:26,573
and a fully faded old man.

185
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,844
But only one of them
would return to port alive.

<i>but did the truth
go overboard with her?</i>

202
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:07,585
I have with me a woman
who was on that fatal cruise,

203
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:09,783
disgraced docent Agnes Skinner.

204
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:11,484
Uh, tell me about that night.

205
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:15,922
I was at the buffet when I heard
a woman scream, "Abe, don't!"

206
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:17,791
Then a splash.

207
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:19,259
What did you do next?

208
00:09:19,325 --> 00:09:20,903
I saw they were refilling
the shrimp tower,

209
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:23,196
so I had to get over there
and touch them all.

210
00:09:23,263 --> 00:09:24,697
"Abe, don't."

211
00:09:24,764 --> 00:09:27,734
Whatever could
Vivienne have meant by that?

212
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:30,203
Naturally, the police
questioned Abe Simpson.

213
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:33,740
His only defense?
"I don't remember."

214
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:37,343
The old man would not confess.
Rude.

215
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,845
So we swabbed his hands

216
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:41,581
to see if they tested positive
for pushing.

217
00:09:41,648 --> 00:09:44,984
It came back as "no such test."

218

Am I inside?

Vivienne and I went on
the cruise, had dinner,

231
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:17,250
drinks, dancing, drinks.

232
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:19,519
The rest is kind of a blur.

233
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:21,754
And the next thing I know,
the cops are telling me

234
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:24,924
- I'm a person of interest.
- That's ridiculous.

235
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:28,862
You've never been a person of
interest‐‐ not for one second.

236
00:10:28,928 --> 00:10:30,230
I don't remember nothing.

237
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,031
But I would never hurt Vivienne.

238
00:10:32,098 --> 00:10:36,736
She was my last chance at love,
and now she's gone forever.

Whoop. Got to take a zizz.

241
00:10:41,841 --> 00:10:43,309
Okay, quick,
he's in the bathroom,

242
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:45,278
so we only have an hour to talk.

243
00:10:45,345 --> 00:10:46,613
Now, on the count of three,

244
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,115
say if you think
he's guilty or not.

245
00:10:49,182 --> 00:10:50,884
One, two, three.

246
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:52,962
- Not guilty!
- If I'm being honest,
I think he's capable

247
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:55,455
of anything,
up to and including murder.

248

Grampa boat‐pushed
my favorite sexy TV lady.

258
00:11:18,411 --> 00:11:21,514
I had a poster where she was
on top of a Trans Am

259
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:23,683
and it said,
"Finely‐tuned machine."

260
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:26,452
It referred to both her
and the car!

(shouts)

262
00:11:28,321 --> 00:11:31,624
Crime podcasts should be about
exposing truth,

263
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:35,028
- not irresponsible speculation.
- (all gasp)

264

If only Kent knew Grampa
like we do,

265
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:41,634
he would call that show
<i>Not Guilty Grampa,</i>

266
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:44,737
which I bet would get
even more listeners.

Homer, tell me about the
Abe Simpson you knew and loved.

272
00:11:59,319 --> 00:12:00,787
I mean, I knew him.

273
00:12:00,853 --> 00:12:02,789
Was he abusive?

274
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,357
(chuckles) Oh, sure.

275
00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:06,226
I mean, he was a quiet loner,

276
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:09,095
but he could be abusive
when he wanted to be.

277
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:10,597
Really?

278
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:13,132
And your mother‐‐
how did she deal with all this?

279
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,101
You know, I'm not really sure.

280
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:17,237
She disappeared
when I was quite young.

281
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:20,340
Another woman in his life
vanished.

282
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:22,508
Stick some foghorns under that
and put it up stat.

283
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:25,111
Uh, wait, that may have
sounded bad.

284
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:27,013
You're not gonna podcast that,
are you?

285
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,891
HOMER (over phone):
<i>You're not gonna podcast that,</i>
<i>are you?</i>

286
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,717
- Uh‐oh.
<i>- Uh‐oh.</i>

287
00:12:30,783 --> 00:12:31,818
(Marge groans)

288
00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:33,519
Imagine the worst person
in the world.

289
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,422
Now imagine his father.
That's Abe.

290
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:38,791
His roommates
kept turning up dead.

291
00:12:38,858 --> 00:12:42,829
90‐year‐old people don't just
suddenly stop breathing.

292
00:12:42,895 --> 00:12:43,997
Come on.

293
00:12:44,063 --> 00:12:45,665
He murdered me once.

294
00:12:45,732 --> 00:12:48,668
That's why
my family doesn't visit.

295
00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:50,903
My grandfather is not only
a great man,

296
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,672
he's a World War Two hero.

297
00:12:52,739 --> 00:12:54,674
They used to call him
"Johnny Flamethrower."

298
00:12:54,741 --> 00:12:58,011
He said the fires
would tell him who to burn.

299
00:12:58,077 --> 00:12:59,412
(Lisa and Marge groan)

300
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:04,117

What does that stand for?

301
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:05,852

(Lisa's voice):
Hey, Kent. I'm Yeardley Smith.

304
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:13,893
Your voice sounds familiar.
Where do I know you from?

305
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,696
From my true crime podcast
<i>Small‐Town Dicks,</i>

306
00:13:16,763 --> 00:13:17,930
and nowhere else.

307
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:19,632
Can I give you a word of advice?

308
00:13:19,699 --> 00:13:21,868
I'd be a fool not to say,
"Make it quick."

309
00:13:21,934 --> 00:13:24,904
As much as it's fun to report
on murder and mayhem,

310
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:28,775
these podcasts are accusing
real people of serious crimes.

311
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:32,145
Without solid proof,
we can ruin lives.

312
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:34,213
You're right.
We do rule the universe.

313
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,515
Can I ask you a question?

314
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:37,617
- Of course.
- Who's doing your merch?

315
00:13:37,684 --> 00:13:40,753
Because I'm only netting two

She didn't sink. She swam.

Vivienne's signal

Vivienne is alive.
She faked her death.

Which means
Grampa didn't kill anyone.
