Maxim Miles. It's a production of a typical artists and I heart radio. What is running through your head right now? Whoever took Riley, whoever he's running from, it might all be over tonight. If it has something to do with the mine, then it'll be too late for him to do any damage after the demolition and will have lost our chance to catch someone in the act. If it's Mr Beatie, whatever he was doing has a deadline of tonight, and I'm supposed to be tracking Ransom's files down, He's going to be tracking me down soon enough. Okay, So are you saying we should split up? Both take a different person on ross? There's still the mine. If the old mines get collapsed tonight, that means the project is moving forward. And if it really is as dangerous as Riley thought, we need to stop it, which is why you need to go to city Hall and try to find that environmental survey report. And what are you going to do? I'm going to go find Riley. How I need to go down to the demolition. Do you think Riley might show I think someone there. How'll the sheriff, minot or mining warren archers men, someone knows what happened to Riley. At the very least, maybe you can stir up some trouble stop the demo from happening exactly. Okay, you go to City Hall, get the report, and then meet me down there. Max, take this. Are you expecting me to march on stage and wave this around until they cancel the new Mind? If those really were Warren Archer's goons at City Hall this morning, they'll definitely be at the demolition. The last thing I need is you getting kidnapped by the Archers because you stuck your nose or it didn't belong. Thank you, Ross. Just bring it back to me, Okay, I will. I promise I'll see you soon. From a typical artists and I heart radio. You're listening to Maxie Miles. You've chosen ending seat the Poisoned Mind. Hey Max, Jenna, what are you doing here? I could ask you the same thing. I didn't think you'd want to watch this blatant display of industrial destruction? Well you know what they say, no the enemy or whatever? Yeah, well I guess it work with me. You were never my enemy, Jenna. Whatever. Have you seen the sheriff? Yeah, he's down that way. Thanks, Theo's not here yet, though, I'm not looking for THEO. No Archer grooms. As far as I can see, there he is. Where's the as always? Oh he's a good kid. He is past move on, Joe. But that's definitely the consensus in the Miles household, big fans of the Combs over here and right back at you. You still think Max has a crush? Oh my god. I'm honestly not sure anymore. And she's been more focused on Riley recently, spending all her time with that teller boy. Maybe that's a good thing. It might make telling them both less awkward. Thank you for being patient with me. I'm still new to this whole raising a kid thing, I get it. Joe and I haven't exactly been ready to tell THEO yet either. I haven't had a serious relationship since we lost his mom, I know, but this is serious for me at least for me too, and I think I'm ready to tell them about it. Max will probably still be embarrassed by the conversation, but at least it won't be because I'm dating her crushes dad. Even if she does still have a crush on THEO, we'll figure it out together. Oh, that's one mystery solved. I guess alright, just do it. Max. Joe was going to yell at you. You have to talk to show it's been taken care row. That's all you need to know. Well, if you hadn't let him go, we would no pat listen to me. Just get down here. Who Maxine? What are you doing here? Who were you talking to? Oh? You shouldn't be in here, Max, Why not? Well it's private property for one. Let's go outside. The demolition ceremony is about to start. Were you talking to Maxine? That's none of your business? I think it is. Come on, man, why are you trying to let me out of here? Well, seeing is neither of us work for the mining company. It's not really our place. You were in here. I just needed to make a phone call, But now we should Could it be that this trail is full of evidence that the mind is going to poison the town? Excuse me? Look, I know how important this project is to the town. But it's not too late. You can still do the right thing. I don't think you know what you're talking about. Young Lady Riley knew somehow. I don't know how he found out about the environmental impact report that was done. I don't think he found it, though, so maybe you and I can look through these files and find the real evidence. Maxine, you need to stop it right now. This is grown up business, so it's none of yours. It's Hastings business, which means it very much is mine. I know it can be exciting to think we understand big, real life problems. When we do? You understand them? You think you do? You want to know what I understand? The Archers will do whatever they can to make money and keep their state in this town, so they decide to re vitalize the Hastings economy by investing in a new mining company. Except when they do their due diligence on all the permits and surveys, they discover that putting a pit mine here could create deadly run off, so they do whatever they can to hide it. Is that what you think, camping? I do? Well, it's quite a story. Do you have any proof? I have Riley's notebook detailing what he found out about the mine, A story conjured up by a board. But clever teenager Riley will be able to tell us where he got his intel, maybe even where the report is no, he won't what it's an interesting theory magazine, but it's not quite right. So you admit that there is a report out there that proves this new project is dangerous. Does a report exist if there's no one there to read it? If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound. If a nosy team can't snoop around, can they steal do damage you? You took Riley wrong again, Maxine. You've got all the pieces, it seems, but you're just not quite putting them together. Maybe you're not as much of a concern as I thought. Patrick. You were talking to Mr Beatty, weren't you. I don't see why that matters. You let him go, that's what you said to him. Ross was right. What nonsense are you going on about? Now? Mr Beatty did kidnap Riley and you you're involved somehow? But how could you? Why? Maxine? I told you this, This is all far beyond you. No, it's not you. You're the one who knew that Riley had evidence against the mining project, and you told Mr Beatty to keep him quiet, and and then that sap let the boy go. Why why would you do this? You love Hastings? Yes, I do. That's why I did this. There's a lot you don't understand saying that. That's just what adults say when they don't want to admit they've done something wrong. Oh, you think you're so clever, and I'll grant you you're cleverer than most, so is Riley. But neither of you can comprehend what's really going on here. Where is he? You said you took care of it? What did you do? Warren Archer knows how serious this is, how important. He was kind enough to lend me some of his associates to handah Riley after Mr Beady failed to do so. That's why they were in City Hall. They were there to see you. What did they do to Riley? They just took him somewhere safe. He won't be able to stop the demolition, and once that's done, the deal is seal. You can't get away with this, not if you go out there and ruin everything. True, I guess I'll have to call Warren's men back. Don't come any closer. Max, be reasonable now. I know how much you love Hastings too, and I'm sure we could come to some sort of agreement. What do you want excuse me. Riley has been very uncooperative this whole time. But it's not like they weren't other options. There's an easy way to do this, Max. You can take the easy way, keep your secret for you. I don't think so, not even to protect your uncle. Joe would never want me to lie. He'd stand by me in this. You don't scare him. M Yes, Joe is a very capable adult. What about Ross? What? Well? The boy is clearly devoted to you. He'd stand by you too, but at what cost to him? Neither of them have anything to do with this. Based on all the questions Ross was asking me this morning, I don't think that's quite true. What are you saying? I'm saying you keep your mouth shut and everybody goes home happy. And if I don't, then we do this the hard way. Vaccine, vaccine? Where are you going back here? Right? Vaccine? Where do we go? Where do we go? I have to find? Are you all right? It's your beaty? Max? What are you You took rightly? What Mayor House said? He here this way? What did you say to how it was? He's the one who covered up what's going on with the mine. He's known this whole time, and you why did you do it? Why would you hurt Riley? I didn't hurt him. I was trying to protect him by kidnapping him. Hell needed him out of the way, just until the contracts were signed. But why would you agree to that? It doesn't matter if he's the mayor. What you both did is a crime. I oh, Hell, I didn't have a choice. But I never hurt Riley. How said you let him go? I don't understand Riley promised to lay low. If I did, I just I couldn't. I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't be the reason he was scared. We have to find him. I know. That's why I'm here. I'm We're just going to show up and do something foolish. No, he won't, he can't. How how said he got someone else to take care of it, warren archers men. But I don't. I don't know who they are. Warren's men, but I got I just saw them come of the old mine entrance, the one in the ridge just northwester here. Okay, they were holding rope. What are you saying? No, No, he wouldn't. I know that. How is is misguided? But he wouldn't. I'm not so sure, but Warren Archer's men definitely would. They're about to collapse the entire mind. If if Riley is in there, we have to find him. You have to go talk to the sheriff. Stop the detonation. But I don't How can I be sure we can trust the sheriff. You trust your uncle, don't you? Of course? But he trusts Walt. I think that means you can't. What are you talking about? Wait? Did you know they were dating? It's obvious, isn't it. What? Never mind? What are you going to do? I'm going to go into the mind to find Riley? What no way? I know these minds? Then you know that just because you saw Warren's guys come out of one of the entrances doesn't mean they went in through that entrance. That entire place is amazed. I have to make this right. They're about to start go. Yeah, thank you, thank you all for coming? Are you sure? Of course? Today's a very special occasion. How where did you go? You are so fortunate that the Archers have once again invested in haste instituture. Where are you now? There will be plenty of time for speeches, but let's get to the good style. It's a good warring arch of wishes he could be here himself. But I'm on to get to push the plungeon that we're usher in this new chapter of paste. God, I hope this is the white wire. Here we go, read two? Got it one? Oh my god, I can't believe that worked well. We seem to be having some technical difficulties, said. Anyone that seen me try to use a computer certainly knows I'm no stranger to those. Yes, I'm sure fighted her. Just one moment, folks will be blowing the fusing new tide. That's my cue. Okay. If I remember those maps correctly, which do, then this entrance will eventually connect to the ones that Mr Beatie saw One's men come out of. You can do this, weeks. Riley, Riley, Rightley, where are you? Riley? Keep talking? I'm here. I'm here right way. Max, MAXs and you ry, Oh my god, Oh my god, MAXI She'll sleep. You're here, jeez, Riany are you they tied you up? No? I thought it'd be fun to trap myself in a mind that's about to self destruct. I can't. I can't believe they would do this? How I know. I don't quite worry about that. Later. We gotta get out of here. Have you seen Mr Beany? Don't why he's coming and rescue you. That's Ronny. Come on wait, I came in this way. I don't put this way is faster, trust me? That's yeah? Okay? Where are we on the north bridge of the forest? Come on? Thank god? Mr Beany, you're okay, Riley, it's I'm so glad to see her. All right, Stay away from me, Mr Beaty. Why are you bleeding? Oh? Ye had a run in with Warren's men. I only just got away, Max. I told you to talk to walk I couldn't find him. Then why is he able to stop the demolition? I cut the wire that works toon. Not for long. They'll be able to reroute the few soon enough. Then we should get out of here. Where's your other one? What other one? The teller boy? He was he was biking down to the ceremonies as on my way up here? What he was looking for? You accuse me of all sorts of things? Was he wrong about any of them? Wait? So he's at the demolition. I told him that's where you were. I didn't see him. I should have passed him. I told him I was looking for Riley in the mine. No, No, he wouldn't be that dumb you were. And if Ross thought you were going to do something stupid, I don't think he'd be far behind. What was that? Riley? Riley? Are you here? Oh? My god? Riley back? Ross, Ross, Ross, Get out of there, Max, Max, Where are you? Ross? Roll? Thank you for listening to season one of Max and Miles and for being a part of the investigation.
