- What's jellin' my jellyfish?
It's your boy Jimmy Jam Jar
and we are on day seven of our playthrough of Dying Light 2.
- Captain, why are we watching a YouTube video?
- Wait for it.
- As always, a big thanks to my sponsor
J-Nourishment Energy drinks.
- Wait for it.
Aah!
Use my code, jimmyjamjar at j-nourishment.com/
(sigh)
- Dead.
- Oh my gosh.
Is this my first case?
- Yes.
You'll be working with Detective Briggs.
- Sorry, the Basil Briggs?
- Yeah.
It's not that common of a name.
- Is it true that he has multiple personalities?
- Sixteen, to be precise.
- Oh my gosh, I didn't see you standing there.
- Yeah, I get that a lot.
What's your name?
Put 'er there!
- Detective Magnolia Myers.
- Stay outta my way on this case and we'll be fine.
But I'm gonna need you to step up and pull your weight.
And try to have fun!
- Okay.
- The lieutenant's down at the crime scene.
He can fill you in.
- Ahhh!
Use my code jimmyjamjar at j-nourishment.com/
(sigh)
- 3 million views before YouTube took it down.
(sniffs)
- Bitter almonds.
Cyanide.
How do you know that?
- Well, I watch a lot of "Murder, She Wrote."
Classic, classic show.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
- So we've clearly got a homicide on our hands.
Okay, wait a freaking second.
He's dead.
Who uploaded the video, huh?
His ghost?
'Cause that would be sick.
- His editor posted it.
Guy named Kevin.
- What are you waiting for, muppet?!
Get him in here!
'Cause I'd like to meet him!
- Yeah, I gave him a call already.
All of Jam Jar's footage
goes straight to the Cloud in real time.
They had to set it up that way
because the victim was "technologically challenged."
Apparently he barely even knew
how to turn on his own camera.
Editor Kevin thought the whole thing was a joke,
so he uploaded the video instead of calling the police.
- Does he have an alibi for the night of the murder?
Yeah.
Can't leave the house.
Broken coccyx.
- Hmm.
I'll have to remember that excuse
for the next time I'm invited out.
- Dude.
- There's gotta be a clue in one of his videos
that'll lead us to more suspects.
- How much you want to bet I can do parkour
just like in that video game?
- Guess what, guys?
I broke things off with my girlfriend Sonia.
Yeah...
I think she was cheating on me.
But with my sponsor, J-Nutrients,
I have all the energy I need
after a night of crying into my pillow.
- Well, it appears that conversing with Sonia
is our next logical step.
- And finding the other man.
- Could her relationship ending have pushed this Sonia
so far that she would take another person's life?
I guess we should just like, talk to her and find out.
- Me?
Murder Jimmy?
Jeez o flip!
- I know!
It's crazy, right?
But he had dumped your sorry butt,
so I can see why you might be tempted.
And individuals can display irrational behavior
when under extreme emotional duress.
- Is he okay?
- Yeah.
He had a lot of coffee this morning.
- Yeah, Jimmy lied in that YouTube video, okay?
I broke up with him.
- Explain. Please.
I've got a fever, and the only prescription
is more information.
- He accused me of cheating
and I broke up with him because he was so insecure.
- You go, girl!
Way to stand up for yourself and your boundaries.
But cut the crap,
were you cheating on him?
- Jeez o flip!
No!
Like I said, he was insecure.
Any other questions?
- Yeah, just one.
What shampoo do you use?
It smells amazing.
Is that ginseng?
(sniffs)
Don't hold out on me.
- Anyway, we'll be in touch.
- [Video Game] We gonna live there.
No one's gonna drive us out.
And I'll stop wondering.
- The storytelling in this game is tight.
Speaking of stories, lemme tell you a story
of how my manager Laurel Lombardi
tricked me into signing a contract
that gives her 75% of my YouTube revenue
and how I'm gonna sue her butt and get out of it.
- This case is practically solving itself for us!
Personally, I would've preferred more of a challenge.
But you know, I guess this is okay.
- Let's give the agent a visit.
- Jimmy Jam Jar would be Jimmy the Janitor
if it wasn't for me, okay?
- He might also be alive.
- Sick burn, dude!
- Oh, you think I had something to do with his death?
- If the shoe fits.
But maybe it doesn't fit.
Who's to say, really?
- Yeah, he was a big pain, but he was a profitable pain.
- You stood to lose a lot of that profit
if he severed ties with you.
- And I bet him revealing your exploitative contract terms
to his millions of viewers
was an embarrassing PR disaster.
Aw!
- Yeah, especially 'cause he made it up.
- Say whaaaaat?
- So your contract wasn't split 75-25?
- It used to be.
We renegotiated it to 50-50 a few months ago.
- You really should have squeezed him for more.
- But why would he make that up?
- What I learned
after working with Jimmy for several years
is that he's kind of a liar.
- I hate liars.
Okay.
"Hate"s a strong word.
I strongly dislike them.
No, I hate ' em.
- Is he okay?
- Yeah.
He just had some jalapenos at lunch.
- I like that desk.
Solid oak?
(zombies screaming)
- I don't know if I can handle all this zombie killing.
I'm sensitive.
- Not only can I play solo in Dying Light 2,
but I can play co-op mode
with my friend and fellow YouTuber, Pwnage Pete.
Or should I say my ex-friend and current enemy?
- What is up with this guy?
He's making enemies left and right!
- Yeah, that's right.
Pete made a video calling me a sociopath.
Why?
'Cause he's jelly of your boy,
The jellyfish man, Jimmy Jam Jar,
who knows what's jellin'.
- Is it wrong of me to say
that this guy kind of deserved it?
- Now guys, do not unsubscribe from his channel
and definitely do not leave hateful comments
on his videos, okay?
Most definitely do buy my sponsor,
J-Nourishment at Jam-
(jibberish) (spits and coughs)
(gasp of air)
5% off.
- Let's go chat with Pwnage Pete.
- Do we really gotta talk to him?
Maybe we can just like email him some questions?
Or let's just go right now!
- Okay.
- Jimmy was a sociopath, man.
- What empirical evidence do you have
to support that assertion?
Or is it just like your opinion, man?
- Man, I just heard it through the grapevine
that he was a bad guy
who only cared about himself and money.
Why would I be jealous of a guy like that?
- So tell me something.
How long have you and Sonia
been carrying on a relationship behind Jimmy's back?
- What?
- 'Cause if I just had to throw a dart behind my back,
I'd guess that Sonia
is the source of all the bad information
you've heard about Jimmy.
- Yeah.
Well don't quit your day job
to play darts professionally, man.
Okay?
'Cause you missed with that dart.
- Okay.
So when the police subpoena your phone records
they'll see that you were just friends.
- 'Cause it's gonna look really awkward
if you're lying to us right now, just saying.
- Are we done?
I got videos to film.
- Yeah, actually, Detective Myers and I,
we've gotta head out and go to a hot yoga class.
You sweat out all the toxins.
Unfortunately for Jimmy,
the rapid action of cyanide
meant that he had no opportunity to expel it
from his body through perspiration before his death.
- Cyanide?
Is that what killed him?
- You think he's lying?
- Oh, I know he's lying.
Constricted pupils.
Shaky voice.
Fidgety.
But even more damning,
I could smell the delicious ginseng sa- shampoo.
It's hard to say.
The same one that Sonia had.
- Both Sonia and Pete are lying.
- Everyone's lying!
What's wrong with the world today?
- So are we leading towards Pwnage Pete as the murderer?
- As much as I'd like to pin it on him
so I can go home and play video games,
Pete is not the murderer.
- And how do you know that?
The killer would know the exact cause of Jimmy's death,
and this detail is not public knowledge.
- Hmm.
- And Pete was shocked when I mentioned cyanide.
- This case is as cloudy as when we first started.
- I could have been at a barbecue!
Wait a second.
Cloudy.
That's it!
Thanks for coming in, guys.
I really appreciate it.
Can I get you anything?
Coffee, tea, donuts?
- What's this all about?
- One of you is a murderer.
- Okay.
What?
- Jeez o flip!
- Do I need my lawyer?
- Please no.
This scene is already way too complicated to film.
- Okay, I admit it.
Sonia and I were in a relationship behind Jimmy's back.
- Shut up Pete!
Jeez o flip!
- But I didn't kill him!
You stole my thunder, brah.
I was gonna reveal that information myself!
But you probably said it better than I could anyway.
Like, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
- Pete wanted Sonia all to himself, so he killed Jimmy.
- Um.
- No, I wouldn't kill anyone, man!
I'm... I'm vegan!
- That's enough!
Shut it down!
Okay, so Sonia, we know
that you and Pete were "talking,"
okay?
- Okay.
I admit it.
It was wrong of me.
But Jimmy and I were on the outs,
and despite what he claimed, I broke up with him.
- Don't lie to me, sister.
- It's, he said she shaid.
- Jimmy was a liar!
You can't trust anything he said,
especially on camera.
- Indeed.
It is intriguing
that you would bring that to our attention.
- We talked to Jimmy's editor, Kevin.
- So he says, he says, all of Jimmy's footage
was being uploaded to the Cloud in real time
because Jimmy ain't no tech wiz.
- In fact, Jimmy sometimes
accidentally left the camera on all the time.
- His editor, Kevin, who's a great guy, wonderful person.
He was so nice.
He gave us all the footage for the week before
Jimmy... took the room temperature challenge.
- Guess what, Sonia?
I'm through!
I- we're done!
No.
No second chances.
I have had enough!
(exaggerated breath)
Time to play some Dying Light 2!
- Looks like you were lying again, honey boo boo.
- I wouldn't kill him over a breakup.
- Good point.
You were already in a relationship with this scrub.
Doesn't really seem like enough motive to kill the ex-scrub.
- Uh, why am I here?
I got stuff to do.
- Correct me if I'm wrong, which happens a lot.
But you said that you and Jimmy renegotiated your contract
to be 50-50, right?
- Yes.
- But Jimmy claimed in his video he was only getting 25%.
- He was lying.
- Were you two physically in the same vicinity
for the signing of the contract?
- No, it was electronic.
- Please tell me, please tell me,
you at least negotiated over the phone?
- No, it was all email.
That's just how we do business these days!
- My hypothesis, which I am confident is correct,
is that Ms. Lombardi was negotiating not with Jimmy,
but with his girlfriend, Sonia.
- Jeez o flip.
What are you even talking about?
- Sonia, you were using Jimmy's email account
without his knowledge.
- Which was easy, because he was an oblivious idiot.
- Oh my gosh.
And she also added a second bank account
so I could split the payments in two!
- Sonia was stealing half of Jimmy's money
and he didn't even notice.
- So when Jimmy dumped your butt,
you were in a real uncomfy situation, weren't you?
- Because Jimmy was gonna sue his agent, Ms. Lombardi,
which would've immediately exposed your scheme, Sonia.
- But if you were to kill him,
you could still make at least a little profit
from his channel for a while.
- Until the YouTube algorithm, much like the grave digger
will soon do to him, buries his channel forever.
- You have no proof.
- Oh, she's right.
Oh wait, no, I forgot.
- Ah, this stuff is terrible.
And I gotta take a dump.
- This is precisely 32 minutes
before Jimmy took the fatal sip.
(footsteps)
(suspenseful music)
- Okay.
The face is all covered up.
You can't prove that's me.
Jeez o flip.
- Wait for it.
- Jeez o flip, his desk is a mess!
(defeated sigh)
- Wow.
Pretty serious stuff, huh?
- Sonia, you killed Jimmy?
- I want my lawyer!
- Book her, Danno.
I, I know your name's not Danno.
Just roll with it.
- You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you
in a court of law.
- You know Magnolia, after a long day of sleuthing
it's nice to kick back and play some Dying Light 2:
Stay Human.
