Speaker 1: hear the gossip that it could have been the butler,
Speaker 1: could have been the security guard. Not just because of
Speaker 1: what was stolen, it's like this almost holy relic because
Speaker 1: it's worth so much money, but from who. He was
Speaker 1: just fascinated by the whole scene of walking into Nicolas
Speaker 1: Cage's mansion and just seeing what he described as an
Speaker 1: adult kids playground with all these you know, dinosaur fossils

Speaker 1: all the weirdos that worked for him, and like who
Speaker 1: could have done this? And maybe it turns out that
Speaker 1: in the end he did it to himself. About that,
