When's the next one?
Did Arthur do it?
Calm down, everyone.
There'll be a new episode online tonight.
It's an interview with the suspect.
I can't believe how popular this podcast is.
I have over 50 listeners.
You just better make sure you clear my name.
People are starting to treat me differently.
Don't worry, I'm just interested in telling the truth.
Oh, would you mind putting these on?
I just thought, you know, for the poster... Arthur, I'm here for the interview!
Arthur?
(sniffing) A Puffy Unicorn Crunch nugget.
Oh no, Arthur, you didn't!
(faint chomping) (gasps) It was you!
(whimpering) ARTHUR: Buster?
Where are you?
Uh... Be right down!
I saw your bike out there.
Where were you?
Bathroom.
My stomach is guilty.
I mean queasy.
Gotta go!
Call you later.
(whimpering) The dog did it?!
I want my money back!
But it was free.
Well, you should pay us for wasting our time.
It was awful.
Worst thing I ever heard.
Binky was right.
But that's what happened.
What was I supposed to do?
Lie?
Well, it isn't really a lie if I just leave out a few facts.
Today, I found the missing cereal box right under Arthur's bed.
You can draw your own conclusions, but it seems as if Arthur Read is...
I can't do it.
(rewinding) This is your host Buster Baxter.
Spoiler alert: this final episode might be a letdown.
Even though all signs pointed to Arthur's guilt, today I found out who the real culprit was: his dog Pal.
There was no crime, no plot for revenge.
Just a hungry canine who saw an opportunity and seized it.
I started this series wondering if you can ever really know someone.
Well, now I have my answer.
If that someone is Arthur, then yes.
But I wonder about myself.
At some point, I stopped caring about Arthur's innocence because I just wanted to make a good story.
I think part of me even wanted him to be guilty.
What kind of friend does that make me?
Do we ever really know... ourselves?
