00:07to the screen in this way. I think it must be the blood moon or something because it just

00:19right after another. And then several years, five years ago, you know, Jamie Lee Curtis asked me if
00:25Scarpetta was under option. I said, right now she's not. And she says, well, we need to make this into
00:30a TV show. And so that's how this started. And Liz is the only one who has ever figured out
