Speaker 2 (00:27):
What's the problem with the loose key? Finding what lock
it goes to? Not the cell door? I guess that

have needed two of them, TV room, art room, weight room,
library and.

it to you?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
No? I saw it put it away. Did you recognize
the shape looks more like a Swiss army knife?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Any idea where it would go?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Where'd you find it?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I made it?

No angle except except what I don't want to see

Smells like an apple? How about this wall to wall

Speaker 6 (06:16):
This will do just fine, Thank you, Lieutenant Cristalio of
Lieutenant sychs And hello, my dear siary, have you been
holding up?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Step away?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Not to worry lieutenants. I'll be fine with her. We
have history.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Uh, keep your distance.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
You know, I'm not versed in the Heimlich, But if
you's all that as American as.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That, what more could you possibly want from me?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Why would you even show up after what you did?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I hardly did it alone. We all take our orders
from something.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You have anything siary.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm surprised. Why the last time we talked, or.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Was that before or after you drugged me? Well after
when you threw me in a van, dragged me to
this healthscape and threw away the key.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I meant the last time when we had such a
pleasant conversation about puzzles from ancient texts.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
No, we did it.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Don't tell me you've forgotten, miss Rowequez.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh oh, I know it's it's coming back to me now.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Good. Shall we pick up when we left off last time?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well, I you know, maybe.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
We could actually Why didn't I take it from the beginning?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's been it's been kind of hectic lately,
so I could use a refresher.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
And, by the looks of it, some refreshment. Why don't
you go ahead and finish your apple?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Are you sure?
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Always? Just don't choke?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Wonderful. Now shall we?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Let's yep, last time I told you about my friend Miguel, Monguel,
Miguel de la Croufe.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Ah, yeah, Moguel de la de la Cruz.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Of course, Miguel just loves riddles, and I think I
almost had you stumped with the last one.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, almost, what was it?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Ah? Yes, I have seas without water, coasts without sand,
towns without people, and mountains without land. What am I?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I am? Can Europe?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
You have seas without water, coasts without sand, towns without people,
and mountains without land.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
What am I? You do? Remember? Yes?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Of course, it's just it's been a while and other
things have come into.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
The of course.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Of course, your caseworker seems rather pleased with your progress.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
You spoke to aiden affirmative and he helped clear this
additional meeting because he thinks you're progressing, progressing, But what
is progress really but having the tools to succeed and
to move forward in the.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Hmm.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
I'm not sure how much time we've left in our session,
so perhaps we can circle back to Miguel de la couf. Okay,
remember how I told you about Saint Monica.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
St.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Monica, the very namesake of that beach oasis on the
coast of Los Angeles. Santa Monica, have you heard of it?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, of course I know Santa Monica, the Peer, the
Ferris Wheel, muscle freakin beach. Come on, do I know
Santa Monica?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Hm? Yes, Well Monica, the patron Saint of Mothers, had
a son, obviously, Saint Augustine, though neither or he were saints.
When he was growing up, he was a capricious lad,
perhaps owing to the fact that his father was an
infamous adulterer and not the best role model. So Oggie
clashed with his mum rather frequently, rather frequently.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I'm sorry, I'm trying to.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Keep We need to focus, Miss Rodriguez.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
My.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Mistake.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Please continue gratefully.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So one day Monica and Oggie have a massive fight.
Things are said, probably not unlike kids rebelling today, But
instead of you're grounded and no telly for the rest
of the week, it was more, how could you convert
to Manicheism? You're a traitor to our family, You're no
longer welcome in our home.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
What's Manicheism?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
A dead religion founded in the third century by the
Parthenian prophet what today we would call a branch of
gnosticism based in duality. It offered salvation through special knowledge
of radical truths, with the subtext of this world is
evil and we're all gonna die.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
What happened to them.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Went the way of Besimax or beaper pages beat out
in the zeitgeist of newer, shinier, more gilded roby houses
of worship. But that's not important right now. What's important
is that Monica expelled Oggie, and afterwards things looked bleak
for a minute until.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Until what.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Until one day Monica had this epiphany, this vision, this
revelation of what. Some say God visited her. Others say
a priest convinced her to change her ways. Others say
that all the explanations are just ways to make it
seem like a man came in and showed her the way.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Of course they do.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But I think there's nothing more powerful than the love
a mother has for her child. Something you agreed with
last time, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Sure, I mean it's up there.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
So Monica searched for to make amends and to dedicate
her life to him, hence her being.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
The mother of all saints of mothers.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Indeed, you're remembering so she tracks him from Algeria into Italy,
finally finding him in Mila a mother and child reunion indeed,
to celebrate. They plan a trip to Rome, but before
they leave, they meet with Saint Ambrose, also not yet
(12:26):
a saint, but well on his way since he was
the Bishop of Milan, and probably in miracles to spare
at that point. But I digress. How's the apple?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
It's fine, good, good.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Speaking of apples and hunger more generally, Oggie and Monica
meet with Saint Ambrose because apparently their trip is going
to land them in Rome on a Saturday. Okay, as
it turns out, back then, Saturday was a day of
fast in.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Rome every Saturday, every Saturday, like a Shabbath, yes.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
But with even more restrictions and punishable by death. Darn
darn indeed, whereas in Milan they not only dressed to
the nines, but they ate their heart outs on the weekend.
Abetha style, sorry, Vegas style.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I know what Abiza is, of course you do.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So what did Ambrose say?
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I thought you'd never ask. He offered them some simple
words that have lasted over eighteen hundred years.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Fuck it eat whenever one wishes.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
But the answer was about as diplomatic and non divisive
as someone in his position could provide. He said to them,
when I am here in Milan, I do not fast.
But when I'm in Rome, I do fast on Saturday, okay,
not ringing any bells.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
When in Rome, do as the Romans.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Do precisely, you do, remember, kudos to ever punched the
line made it immortal.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Wow, that's actually pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But how does that apply to my current situation?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
It applies, Miss Rodriguez, because I too think you're progressing
well here. There is a lot of attention, a lot
of eyes on your case. But it's time to take
things to the next level.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
What's the next level?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Have you had a chance to think on the riddle
from earlier?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I have seas without water, coasts without.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Sand, towns without people, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And mountains without land.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Correct?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
What am I?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Seas? Coasts, towns, mountains, You're a map.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
It's almost time time listen to me, Siary. One more
riddle before I'm gone gone. Just look at me and remember,
my friend, what's hidden initially will come clear in the end.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
What will I get cut? But I never bleed?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
What I have teeth?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
But I do bite.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh I know, no, don't what?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (15:14):
It's okay, sir, Please take a step back.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Remember my friend hands out of your coat.
Speaker 6 (15:24):

Speaker 3 (15:55):

pardon or is it the whole most of this horrible fucking.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Prank Show'm on one Alexander Talbot?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Who who would be coming to visit me?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Or maybe they're here for Rodriguez?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Also?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Is that bowl of fruit real? Looks like an apple?
Smells like an apple? How about this wall to wall
snow white mirror? Mirror my dead ass face in four
K and more baggage and lax gotta brush my teeth
(05:44):
the more no cameras. Wait a minute, have I ever
seen a camera here?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
My god, that's fucking calicious. That's not just a mirror.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
This will do just fine, Thank you, Lieutenant Cristalio of
Lieutenant sychs And hello, my dear siary, have you been
holding up?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Step away?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Not to worry lieutenants. I'll be fine with her. We
have history.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Uh, keep your distance.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
You know, I'm not versed in the Heimlich, But if
you's all that as American as.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That, what more could you possibly want from me?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Why would you even show up after what you did?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I hardly did it alone. We all take our orders
from something.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You have anything siary.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I'm surprised. Why the last time we talked, or.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Was that before or after you drugged me? Well after
when you threw me in a van, dragged me to
this healthscape and threw away the key.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I meant the last time when we had such a
pleasant conversation about puzzles from ancient texts.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
No, we did it.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Don't tell me you've forgotten, miss Rowequez.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh oh, I know it's it's coming back to me now.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Good. Shall we pick up when we left off last time?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well, I you know, maybe.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
We could actually Why didn't I take it from the beginning?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's been it's been kind of hectic lately,
so I could use a refresher.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
And, by the looks of it, some refreshment. Why don't
you go ahead and finish your apple?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Are you sure?
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Always? Just don't choke?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Wonderful. Now shall we?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Let's yep, last time I told you about my friend Miguel, Monguel,
Miguel de la Croufe.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Ah, yeah, Moguel de la de la Cruz.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Of course, Miguel just loves riddles, and I think I
almost had you stumped with the last one.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, almost, what was it?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Ah? Yes, I have seas without water, coasts without sand,
towns without people, and mountains without land. What am I?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I am? Can Europe?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
You have seas without water, coasts without sand, towns without people,
and mountains without land.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
What am I? You do? Remember? Yes?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Of course, it's just it's been a while and other
things have come into.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
The of course.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Of course, your caseworker seems rather pleased with your progress.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
You spoke to aiden affirmative and he helped clear this
additional meeting because he thinks you're progressing, progressing, But what
is progress really but having the tools to succeed and
to move forward in the.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Hmm.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
I'm not sure how much time we've left in our session,
so perhaps we can circle back to Miguel de la couf. Okay,
remember how I told you about Saint Monica.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
St.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Monica, the very namesake of that beach oasis on the
coast of Los Angeles. Santa Monica, have you heard of it?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, of course I know Santa Monica, the Peer, the
Ferris Wheel, muscle freakin beach. Come on, do I know
Santa Monica?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Hm? Yes, Well Monica, the patron Saint of Mothers, had
a son, obviously, Saint Augustine, though neither or he were saints.
When he was growing up, he was a capricious lad,
perhaps owing to the fact that his father was an
infamous adulterer and not the best role model. So Oggie
clashed with his mum rather frequently, rather frequently.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I'm sorry, I'm trying to.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Keep We need to focus, Miss Rodriguez.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
My.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Mistake.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Please continue gratefully.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So one day Monica and Oggie have a massive fight.
Things are said, probably not unlike kids rebelling today, But
instead of you're grounded and no telly for the rest
of the week, it was more, how could you convert
to Manicheism? You're a traitor to our family, You're no
longer welcome in our home.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
What's Manicheism?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
A dead religion founded in the third century by the
Parthenian prophet what today we would call a branch of
gnosticism based in duality. It offered salvation through special knowledge
of radical truths, with the subtext of this world is
evil and we're all gonna die.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
What happened to them.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Went the way of Besimax or beaper pages beat out
in the zeitgeist of newer, shinier, more gilded roby houses
of worship. But that's not important right now. What's important
is that Monica expelled Oggie, and afterwards things looked bleak
for a minute until.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Until what.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Until one day Monica had this epiphany, this vision, this
revelation of what. Some say God visited her. Others say
a priest convinced her to change her ways. Others say
that all the explanations are just ways to make it
seem like a man came in and showed her the way.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Of course they do.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But I think there's nothing more powerful than the love
a mother has for her child. Something you agreed with
last time, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Sure, I mean it's up there.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
So Monica searched for to make amends and to dedicate
her life to him, hence her being.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
The mother of all saints of mothers.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Indeed, you're remembering so she tracks him from Algeria into Italy,
finally finding him in Mila a mother and child reunion indeed,
to celebrate. They plan a trip to Rome, but before
they leave, they meet with Saint Ambrose, also not yet
(12:26):
a saint, but well on his way since he was
the Bishop of Milan, and probably in miracles to spare
at that point. But I digress. How's the apple?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
It's fine, good, good.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Speaking of apples and hunger more generally, Oggie and Monica
meet with Saint Ambrose because apparently their trip is going
to land them in Rome on a Saturday. Okay, as
it turns out, back then, Saturday was a day of
fast in.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Rome every Saturday, every Saturday, like a Shabbath, yes.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
But with even more restrictions and punishable by death. Darn
darn indeed, whereas in Milan they not only dressed to
the nines, but they ate their heart outs on the weekend.
Abetha style, sorry, Vegas style.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I know what Abiza is, of course you do.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So what did Ambrose say?
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I thought you'd never ask. He offered them some simple
words that have lasted over eighteen hundred years.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Fuck it eat whenever one wishes.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
But the answer was about as diplomatic and non divisive
as someone in his position could provide. He said to them,
when I am here in Milan, I do not fast.
But when I'm in Rome, I do fast on Saturday, okay,
not ringing any bells.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
When in Rome, do as the Romans.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Do precisely, you do, remember, kudos to ever punched the
line made it immortal.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Wow, that's actually pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But how does that apply to my current situation?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
It applies, Miss Rodriguez, because I too think you're progressing
well here. There is a lot of attention, a lot
of eyes on your case. But it's time to take
things to the next level.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
What's the next level?
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Have you had a chance to think on the riddle
from earlier?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I have seas without water, coasts without.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Sand, towns without people, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And mountains without land.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Correct?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
What am I?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Seas? Coasts, towns, mountains, You're a map.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
It's almost time time listen to me, Siary. One more
riddle before I'm gone gone. Just look at me and remember,
my friend, what's hidden initially will come clear in the end.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
What will I get cut? But I never bleed?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
What I have teeth?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
But I do bite.
Speaker 2 (15:09):

Speaker 3 (15:12):

Speaker 4 (15:13):

Speaker 6 (15:14):
