| 0:00.0 | Right, that's it. Come on. Lights out. You've got a test tomorrow. Just two minutes. I'm about to reach the next level. It's going off now. Yeah, whatever. Let's see. Where's the app? Oh, here it is. What? How? Oh, no. You're out. Better look next time. Mom! It's game over for late nights on school nights. EE Wi-Fi controls help you get them off the Wi-Fi and into bed. |
| 0:22.8 | More parents are choosing EE broadband, the UK's fastest growing broadband provider. |
| 0:27.6 | To verify I see EE.cote.uk slash claims. |
| 0:34.3 | Hi there, everybody. Welcome to 2020 The After Show. I'm Deborah Roberts. And as always, thank you so much for spending some time with us. We are going to peel back the layers on our most recent 2020. And this one, I have to tell you, this one will really get you thinking and talking. It is the shocking case of a family down in South Florida who, and we say this all the time, |
| 0:56.6 | but really, seem to have it all. The Edelson's, they had power, they had money, they had status |
| 1:02.5 | in their South Florida community. A number of people knew who they were, but it turns out behind |
| 1:07.7 | closed doors, there was a dark side that was there. A murder for hire plot |
| 1:13.6 | actually left the son-in-law of Donna Adelson dead. He was shot at point-blank range while sitting |
| 1:21.4 | in his car, shot in the head, a really horrible story. Many of us remember this story. He was a law professor down in |
| 1:28.4 | Florida, and I remember when this story broke, and so many were wondering what could possibly |

| 2:01.4 | hallway, in our conference rooms, talking about the stories that we're working on. And you are known, |
| 2:06.4 | Tammy, for really getting into the details, whether it's life here at ABC News in general, or whether |
| 2:12.6 | it's our stories. You are really known for these details. And this story really required a lot of tipping off police, co-conspirators. |
| 2:21.2 | I mean, this story had so much going on there. |
| 2:24.3 | What was it initially? |
| 2:25.6 | Okay, the team had been working on this for a while, and you joined in the last couple of years or so. |
| 2:30.5 | A story that many were talking about around the country, this college professor shot dead. |
| 2:35.5 | Clearly, it's an intriguing story because he comes from a family of some power. |
| 2:40.4 | What were your first thoughts when you were brought into the story? |
