Hey, and welcome to One Killer Question.
I'm Ali Stroker.
We love murder investigators-- uncovering clues,
following leads, yada, yada.
But what about the victims?
Without them, there wouldn't even be an investigation.
Totally unfair if you ask me.
Or if you ask Jayne Houdyshell and Julian Cihi,
which I'm about to do.
Why does everyone hate you?
-(laughing) -So dramatic.
♪ Bum bum bum ♪
People made it a point that they liked the cat
more than Tim Kono.
(laughing) Oh, poor Tim.
That was pretty-- That was pretty rough.
I was like, okay.
And do you think he was misunderstood?
Definitely. Yeah.
I mean, imagine being blackmailed...
-ALI: Mm-hm. -...and living with this
secret and not being able to share it with anyone.
Jayne, why did everyone hate Bunny?
-Jealousy. -ALI: Mm-hm.
-No, I'm kidding. -(both laughing)
Bunny's a pain in the ass.
But the thing about Bunny is, is she doesn't care.
She's not in the business of making friends all the time.
She's got a few select people in her life who are special to her,
her friends are tried and true.
And, you know, the rest of the people in the building,
they're her tenants.
And it's not that she doesn't care about them.
She cares desperately about every single person
in the building as long as they're toeing the line.
-ALI: Right. -And are being good tenants.
And paying the rent.
Yeah, and paying the rent on time.
But she doesn't feel like being friends
with people is part of her job.
And she's a woman who lives for and through her job.
But I'm so curious, who killed-- who killed you?
-Do-- do we know? -I know.
-You know! -Remains to be seen.
Alright then.
Do you believe that because the trio solved
Tim's case that they might be able to solve yours?
They better.
All I got to say about that.
Do you think your ghost is going to haunt The Arconia?
Absolutely.
Are you kidding? She'll never leave!
Yes! Or until your killer is found.
I think she still oversees the apartment building
somehow from the great beyond.
Bunny would be an amazing, amazing ghost.
-ALI: Yes. -Don't you think?
Would you be a poltergeist or a demon?
I think Bunny would be a poltergeist
because there would be more room for creativity there.
Demon, they think of them as being kind of one-noted perhaps.
I think Bunny would like to switch it up.
I don't think I can be a demon after that.
(all laughing)
Yeah, I have a feeling I would be a poltergeist.
I would haunt the hell out of Jan.
I would probably insert myself into her bassoon
so that she's like half-- a half a note flat
every time she plays.
-(laughs) -Probably start there.
That's brilliant. I love that.
Speaking, like, as someone who's a musician and, like, a singer--
Yeah, it's annoying, right?
-It would be just torture. -Just like that
one note that you got to hit.
And I think she deserves it.
Yeah, because dying by poison is,
I've never experienced it, but it must be really, really bad.
Did you do a lot of research?
Extensive... days of research.
No, I, um--
But I was told that your tongue starts to go down your throat.
Charles's character, right, which was so funny
because he was (gibberish), making all that nonsense, so.
But that's-- that's the poison.
What would it sound like?
Oh, my God. Okay, ready?
-Yes, we're ready. -(clears throat)
(choking sounds)
(choking sounds continue)
This is so weird.
That was amazing. That was amazing.
Thank you. I just was curious.
And, Jayne, would you die for us?
-No. -(Julian laughing)
ALI: Okay.
If you were to come back and do it again,
would you have had different kinds of relationships?
I think Bunny learned an important lesson
on her final day.
And that was these people, Mabel, Charles, and Oliver,
who drove her up the wall, just made her crazy.
She also realized
that there were very good qualities about them,
and those were the good qualities
that actually saved The Arconia.
And it was a big thing for Bunny to swallow her pride
and say thank you.
For her, Bunny, uh,
I think saying thanks is tantamount to sentiment,
and she doesn't brook sentiment with anybody.
But she-- she understood that the profundity
of what these three did in order to save the building
she cares most passionately about
and is the home to so many people.
The fact that she was able to graciously thank them,
I think, uh, she can feel good about that,
having lived that out
in her final hours.
