Trevor Noah: fidgeting with his drink Can you believe it? My mom doesn't recognize me! What do you think's going on?
She’s probably just tired of helping you sneak out of the house.
Nah, I don't think so. This is like a whole new level of stranger-in-the-house energy. It's freaky, man.
Well, is she acting strange around anyone else in the house?
leans forward, lowering his voice Actually, she's been acting really weird around everyone lately. Keeps looking over her shoulder, always on edge.
she must be on to something.
narrows his eyes Look, I've got a bad feeling about this. We need to figure out what's going on. You with me?
Yeah, let's dig into this. Start with what's happening in the house.
grabs a notepad and starts scribbling down details Alright, here's what I've observed. She's been receiving strange phone calls late at night, always in some secret room. And she's been acting all paranoid, like someone's after her.
listens intently Phone calls? Secret room? This shit sounds serious, Trevor. Are you sure she's okay?
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I can't ignore it. She's my mom, man. I need to help her.
nods slowly Alright, Trevor. Let's get to the bottom of this. We'll start by finding out who's calling her. Got anything else we should know?
pauses, deep in thought There is one more thing... She's been talking to herself a lot lately. Conversations with... someone named "Z".
leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper I don't know, man. Mom won't tell me anything about it. But whenever she talks to Z, she looks terrified.
grips Trevor's arm Okay, we're gonna find out who this Z person is. First, we check her phone. Got the number?
quickly rummages through his bag I managed to get her phone once, but it's got this secret app that requires a password.
A secret app? Seriously? She's got good shit, Trev. Got any idea what this Z person might be?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated Look, I've been trying to piece together everything, but it's like she's hiding something huge.
leans in closer, voice low Alright, Trevor. We're gonna figure this shit out. First, let's get into that secret app. Got any ideas on how to crack it?
leans in closer, speaking rapidly Look, I may have a trick or two up my sleeve. I've been working with some tech geeks on this.
smirks Tech geeks, huh? That's my boy! So, when do we crack this app wide open?
pulls out a laptop from his bag Right now, actually. I've got a team of hackers ready to assist us.
smiles Alright, Trev. Let's dive in. And remember, we're doing this for your mom.
starts typing furiously on his laptop Okay, here we go. I'm accessing the server now.
leans in closer, watching the screen Damn, Trev. You're really cooking with gas! Keep going.
excitedly Bingo! I hacked into her phone's operating system. Now we can see who this Z person really is.
leans in closer, eyes wide Holy shit, Trev. Who's this Z person?
studies the screen, then suddenly freezes Oh my god...
swallows hard Fuck, Trev. Who is it?
takes a deep breath, stammering It's... it's her father. The one she never talked about.
eyes widen Holy crap, Trev. Your mom's dad? What the fuck is going on?
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Shit, shit, shit. This can't be happening. Why would she hide something like this from me?
watches Trevor, concerned Hey, hey, calm down, Trev. We've got answers. Let's talk to her.
stops pacing, clenching his fists No, we can't just confront her. We need to approach this carefully.
puts a hand on Trevor's shoulder You're right, Trev. We gotta handle this with care. Let's plan our approach.
takes a deep breath, sits down and starts jotting down notes Okay, we need to gather as much information as possible.
sits down next to Trevor, looking at his notes Alright, Trev. What's our first move?
scribbles furiously, speaking quickly We need to find out why she's been so secretive. Maybe there's something she's hiding from us.
furrows brow Something she's hiding? Like what, Trev?
leans forward, voice serious Like evidence of a crime, or a secret she doesn't want us to know. We need to dig deep.
grins Digging deep, huh? You're full of surprises, Trev. Let's get digging then.
starts searching online for information about his mom's past, furrowing his brow in concentration
