0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Thirteen Days of Halloween Penance, a co production of iHeart

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 1>three D Audio Blumhouse Television and Grim and Mild from

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Nankey. Headphones recommended, Listener discretion advised.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 2>What is there to say about prison life that hasn't

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>been said a million times before? It is so boring.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Likes up on your feet, the same shit every.

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 4>Day you again, move along.

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I imagine some people thrive on that routine.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:49.279
<v Speaker 4>Checkmate.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Not if I move here, checkmate, still.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 3>Know and that it beats down those who fight back.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Checkmate.

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 6>No, that's oh darn.

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 3>They say.

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>The pen gets everyone eventually, either by force or attrition.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 3>What's nuke all? My question is what are they after?

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>It's your turn to share today, sireen.

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 3>But I don't have anything to say.

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 5>How does that make you feel?

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>If they can keep us physically detained, I'm going if

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>they have ways to enter our minds.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Any side effects from the medication.

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 3>Makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe time to up

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.759
<v Speaker 3>your dosage. What's left but the soul?

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 7>Take and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding,

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 7>and my entire will. All I have and all my

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 7>own You have given all to me.

0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I swear no matter what, I refuse to submit choice.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 3>But I also wonder how long can I hold out?

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Already I'm starting to lose track of time, Identical days

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 2>turning into identical weeks, filling identical months against a clock

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>and calendar that I have no reason to trust. I

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>wonder what is all this time doing to me? How

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>is it changing me?

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 5>Has something changed about you?

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I've practically quit smoking.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Good for you.

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I've started going to church at least more regularly. I noticed,

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and well, I was just so angry when I got here.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm still angry, furious. Actually, if I could, I'd trample

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 2>those guards, break straight through the wall, burn this whole

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 2>place of the ground, and never look back.

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 5>But something's changed.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, that kind of rage was hurting more than it

0:02:53.960 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 2>was helping me specifically, And if the anger isn't gone,

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's a little more contained.

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 7>If you were to give it a word, would it

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 7>be fair to say patience?

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I hate to think that I'm just waiting around. That

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 3>makes me feel so weak.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 7>I would say it demonstrates tremendous strength. Whoever is patient

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 7>has great understanding, But one who is quick tempered displays folly.

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>But understanding about what how to marchin a line, what

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 2>not to eat in the cafeteria, who to avoid contact

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>with if you don't want a knight stick to the gut.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 7>Maybe a more personal understanding. Humans have an innate desire

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 7>for control over their own lives. It's a fallacy, really,

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 7>but even the sense of control can be powerful. The

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 7>freedom to make your own choices, to set your own

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 7>goals can come to define your very identity. So what

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 7>happens when that illusion of control vanishes?

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 3>You lose your mind or you grow Ah crap, do

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>you know what time it is?

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 5>About twelve thirty?

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I think, well, I gotta get to the rec center.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 5>Exercise can be good for the soul.

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Well maybe it's just uh, I'm supposed to.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 7>Meet someone, meet someone.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, don't keep them waiting.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, chaplain.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 5>I hope to see you tomorrow.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Why what's tomorrow?

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Christmas? Eve?

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 3>Snap, I gotta find a gift. Okay.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Leaving the chapel means libraries on my left, TV rooms.

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 6>On my room.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Here's a weight room, the art room. I just need

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 3>to go down these stairs. Rodriguez, I'm never gonna get

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 3>used to that.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 4>What do you think you're doing?

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.239
<v Speaker 3>Uh, recreation, not like that. You're not, but I'm sure

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 3>this is the right door. That hair, my hair. What's

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 3>the last time you had a cut. Hmmm, well I

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 3>came in before Easter.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Weekend, so right, Captain has strict policies.

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Mm okay, I'll get right on that.

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 4>Now with me, let go, I said I could walk, Lorena,

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 4>you got space for one more. This one here has

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 4>never seen a brush in your life.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'm sorry, didn't know. I was here to impress.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 4>Your hair is like a nest birds or spiders. I'm

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 4>afraid to look.

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Then don't go. Go.

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 4>I'll take care of this one. Don't be afraid to

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 4>use a little force.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I do need a trim.

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 4>No, you needed a trim three months ago. Now, Mirena,

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 4>what you need is a miracle good thing. I'm mean. Come,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 4>I wash first, then we gleam. So what's your style?

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 4>Are you more a pixie cot or maybe a little framing?

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 4>Give some shape to that pretty face.

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>No, you're not listening. I don't want you to do anything,

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 3>just a trem.

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.239
<v Speaker 4>Oh, but indulge me. There must be something you want.

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Come on, you can tell me.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Don't fight it.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 4>She'll get it at it you always does do.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 3>What I wanted before I did.

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 4>She's always right. By the time I'm done, I'll have

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 4>you a feeling all new.

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 3>Look. It's nothing personal. I just don't spend a lot

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 3>of time thinking about how I look.

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Jerre one of those?

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Aren't you one of those?

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 4>Here? Sit lean back?

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 3>What is that supposed to mean?

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll change you if you sit, Let me guess you'll

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 4>turn away makeup and hair styling. And she close, saying

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:50.479
<v Speaker 4>you're not into fashion? But nonina, no service. Is that

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 4>that's a fashion statement in itself?

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not I don't know.

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 4>Deny, then I deny, but I seen you?

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh and what because you cut someone's hair gives you

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>license to judge them.

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot you learn when you shape someone's look.

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, how we present is a mask. No one

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 4>is exactly what they look like. How painfully boring. So

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 4>while they're in my chair letting me chop away at

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 4>little pieces of them, you get to drop the mask

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 4>and I listen. Like a therapist, I heals me or

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 4>no therapist. They want to fix you. I prefer to

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 4>enable better dips twenty years at the same overpriced salunge

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 4>you hear every entitled complaint. Convertible in a shop AND's

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 4>in the lakehouse, and now myn as sources out of

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 4>town and my husband is canoodling with the maid. Oh,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 4>I always hope for something with more substance. Maybe I

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 4>hope too hard. One day I had this woman come

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 4>in sunset of her life, glory, silver hair down to

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 4>her chest. I loved it. I wanted it, oh, to

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 4>age like that, But she said it made her look witchy.

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Now who could have put that idea in her head?

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Turns out kids were shattering her windows with rocks.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 5>They riding on.

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 4>Their bikes, dark of night and no one awake. Then crash,

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 4>kill the witch, they yelled, and then they were gone

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 4>just as fast because acido, poor woman. I could hear

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 4>it in her voice. No not chop it off, chop

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 4>it all off.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 6>I don't want it anymore.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 4>How it heard her to lie about, let's get you

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 4>in a chair.

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Did you cut it off?

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 4>No, that would have been a crime. Instead, I listened

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 4>to what she really wanted here sit?

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 3>What did she say?

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 4>Nothing at first, but I pushed. I always had that gift,

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, getting people to open up. Usually it's a

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of cheesemay. By this time this was different. Something

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 4>in her eyes and how her lips scrunched like she

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 4>was chewing on her words. Benures and all lone and all.

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 3>I want to take those rocks.

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 4>I want to find her houses and I want to

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 4>break their bones. Al rinkled little thing. And then she left,

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Lift your hair, got wrap fist around your neck.

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you think she did it?

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 8>How could she?

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 4>No? That would have been insane. At least that's what

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 4>I thought, And it's what got me through the night,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 4>because as soon as I got home, there was a

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 4>stamped in my brain. Horrible, horrible headache that whole week,

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 4>actually my last week on the outside of horrible.

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:12.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh careful, what the scalp?

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 4>This is nothing? They after another woman came rolled out

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.599
<v Speaker 4>a magazine and pointed at a model wanted her seventies

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 4>disconneon prom emitra. I'm divine at what I do, but

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 4>my conscience wouldn't let me, so I tried to wear

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 4>her somewhere safe. And you know what she said to me.

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 4>If I wanted safe, I wouldn't put nails in my salad.

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 3>What I can't believe she met that literally.

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 4>I didn't either until she smiled, teas cracked and chipped

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 4>gums blead. She needed a dentist, not a perm. I

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:09.559
<v Speaker 4>don't know why she told me, But then the nasia

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 4>hit and I spent the rest of my shift head

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 4>first in a toilet, feeling like there was a hole

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 4>in my got. I think one of the other girls

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 4>ended up giving her a PERM. I didn't care anymore.

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 4>I'd swear there was something in the air that week,

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 4>but all the crazy seemed to ask for me, And

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.959
<v Speaker 4>the next one was even worse.

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Worse than eating nails.

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 4>There's always worse, Melina, and it's never who you expect.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Tilt your head for me, wouldn't you wait?

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 3>How about are you taking off?

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 4>Really had to get either? Don't you want to know.

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Who came next? Just a trim? Got it?

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 6>Mm?

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Now? This girl so thin and twiggy, it was like

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 4>she floated in on a breeze Carolina with her heart

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 4>on the eye. That's how she signed in in for

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 4>a trim, just like you. She didn't make so much

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 4>as a sweek. For the full hour, I could tell

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 4>it was something heavy, something ugly, building up. But who

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 4>am I to pry? If a client wants silence. I

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 4>gave them silence. I was nearly done styling her before

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 4>she finally spoke, turned to me with her dull eyes

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 4>and asked if I was married. No, no, no, I said,

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 4>I love myself too much to share. She liked that.

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 3>She was jealous.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 4>What about you, I asked, and she went quiet again.

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:55.080
<v Speaker 4>She jamed me in and whispered, I'm going to kill

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 4>my husband. I just haven't figured out.

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 3>How I was frozen.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what do you say back? Don't do it?

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Good luck?

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't tell if she was kidding, Or maybe I could,

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't want to admit it. It's not like

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 4>she waited for me to react. She just got up,

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 4>dropped a tip on the counter and left.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Or was it a good tip?

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 4>Best of my life? But not even close to worth it?

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 4>My fever that night was like a.

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 8>Caulduring fluids, boiling skin, melting every nerve on fire, or

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 8>at least it felt that way, pinned me down to

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 8>a bed for two days now.

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Still, am I expected to tip?

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.199
<v Speaker 4>I mean I would, but ridiculin this is currency enough

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 4>for once I'm the one talking. Take a look, how

0:13:58.360 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 4>do you.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:04.599
<v Speaker 3>Feel that's not a trim?

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 4>I know, and we're not done yet.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 3>See you, Rhina, Oh, see you and the girl?

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Will you kin me? Chris? Good luck, Si, you're gonna

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 4>need it.

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 3>How do they know my name?

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 4>Ninya? Haven't you been listening? You learn all kinds of

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 4>things in a place like this. Haven't you worked a

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 4>service job?

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Actually back before.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 4>So you know? And I've had dozens. That's why I

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 4>didn't question it at first. How you offer a service

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 4>but they treat you like a product. People think they

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 4>have a right to your time, to your attention, and

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 4>they don't care what you carry home. I'm just happy

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 4>to unload. Even worse when you work for taps.

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Were there more clients like her?

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Carolina Gegetts Mass No, she was the last, but that

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 4>wasn't the last time she came. When I finally forced

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 4>myself out of bed after that burning fear, I thought

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 4>enough of this, No more helpful ear? But what does

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 4>fate care for our plans? My first day back, I

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 4>found her waiting there, almost shivering with fear, cold. I

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Turns out she'd come every day asking for me.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 4>What an honor?

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 3>What did she want? Now?

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 4>A manicure? Some pastelic color? And obviously an excuse because

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm no technician. Mister Iden is my boss. He knew that.

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 4>But there comes Carolina waiting a stack of fifty, so

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 4>of course he sells me out. Who cares what I want?

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 4>Lorena pisso everybody helps.

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Did you ask if she did it?

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 4>No? Remember, I was done asking questions from now on,

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 4>just smiling and nodding, smiling and nodding. Hole. Still, this

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 4>is for texture.

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 3>So she didn't talk to you.

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 4>Now, where did you get that? All I said was

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.359
<v Speaker 4>that I didn't ask. So while I prepped the manicure,

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 4>she stared at me with those big dough eyes, unblinking, uncomfortable,

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 4>like there was an itch she couldn't scratch. And I

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 4>could tell that heaviness, that ugliness from before it was

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 4>back and she was ready to gossip. So I laid

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 4>out a towel and I asked for her hands, And

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 4>when she spread out her fingers, all I could see

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:04.120
<v Speaker 4>was blood on her nails, crusty flooded cutocles, hand stand

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 4>up to her wrists. Can you wash it? She asked,

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.479
<v Speaker 4>as if a pink salt exfoliant was enough to scrub

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 4>whatever monstrosity she committed I couldn't speak, I couldn't even

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.680
<v Speaker 4>look up, so instead she leaned.

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 9>In loudina, I so appreciated our last session. He was

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 9>such a weight off my shoulders. You're so easy to

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 9>talk to.

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 4>You know that. I didn't want to be I didn't

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 4>want to listen to another word. She wouldn't stop.

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 9>I did it, I really did. I waited until Rob

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 9>was asleep. Then I grabbed my knitting box, took out

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 9>my seam ripper, and I unsold him.

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 4>I looked around, but no one else in the whole

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 4>room had even flinched. Was I going insane? Or was

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:14.919
<v Speaker 4>everyone around me losing their minds? I ran out bio

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:19.479
<v Speaker 4>coming up in my throat, and the last thing I

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 4>saw was Carolina's face. She looked relieved, like that weight

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 4>was really gone. I quit that very day. Let's get

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 4>you dried up.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 3>There'd you go?

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Shaped up, real nice with some value?

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Were you sick again?

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:48.159
<v Speaker 4>Clado ruined my upholstery and pushed the absolute limit on

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 4>how much I'd be broken A person can take. But

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.640
<v Speaker 4>I had to find out if this was awesome twisted job,

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 4>So I did what any irrational person would do. They

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 4>followed her home. I watched her enter a big gated massion,

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 4>you know the fancy sword where the bushes are all

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 4>cut into shapes. And I waited, quiet and in pain

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 4>to catch any glimpse of her husband still alive. It

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 4>was well after dark before I saw her come out again,

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.360
<v Speaker 4>wheeling out the trash. The curiosity ate me a lot.

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.639
<v Speaker 4>I had to know what was in those cans. Now

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 4>I wish with every bone in my body that I

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 4>never looked inside. I jumped in my car and floored

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 4>La Ville and seat that eighty miles an hour, as

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 4>fast as my little clanker could go. That's when I

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 4>saw the cruiser parked at the burger joint, cop leaning

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 4>on his hood, and I told him everything about Carolina,

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.719
<v Speaker 4>her confession, the gorriness in her trash. I knew I sounded,

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 4>but I pleaded for him to believe me. And you

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 4>know what he did. He said he believed me, but

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:14.120
<v Speaker 4>that he just didn't care. That punchy mustache man acne

0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:19.919
<v Speaker 4>on his necks, wet on his collar. He said he'd

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 4>seen worse, hell, that he'd done worse chewing on that gristy,

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.920
<v Speaker 4>tripping burger, he told me, bragging.

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 6>Sometimes when there's a body, and I'm supposed to call

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 6>it in. I don't, because for a couple of hours

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 6>after death, there's still warming enough to have fun.

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 4>He just kept going, unloading repulsive details after details. Even

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 4>after I shut myself in my car and blared the horn,

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 4>he was at my window and I could still read

0:20:55.400 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 4>his lips. Why wouldn't he just leave me alone?

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 3>What did you do?

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Nothing? I regret. I just wish they hadn't caught me,

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 4>because that holding seally threw me into. That was my

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 4>own brand of hell, not like the rooms we've got here. Handcuffed,

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't even cover my ears while everyone else just

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:25.439
<v Speaker 4>spilled and spilled. There was something wrong with me. I

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 4>knew that, but I couldn't stop it. So instead I

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 4>screamed the back what I heard, because why should I

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 4>suffer alone?

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 3>How long were you there?

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:44.439
<v Speaker 4>Not long? Grass, sadios? I suppose eventually somebody listened to

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 4>what I had to say, because two doctors showed up

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 4>from the Pendleton.

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 3>What gave it? The way they dragged you here too?

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 4>Dragged me? No, they offered the help, said they could

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 4>make the secret stop, and for that I would have

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 4>claimed in their trunk. You look like you don't agree.

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Why would you choose to come here? We can't leave?

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 4>What makes you think I want to free meals, free

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 4>roaming and never having to suck up to anyone else

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:19.439
<v Speaker 4>for tips, Nina, But it's not Tahiti.

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 3>But it'll do. Did they help you?

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 6>Then?

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 4>You mean? Though? I still hear people's secrets sometimes, but

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 4>at least the pain is gone. They've got me on

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 4>this regimen. Pills and test and prodding and so on

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 4>is meant to contain it altogether.

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 3>But we'll see. So then you have heard things while

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 3>you've been here.

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 4>Of course, stranger and stranger every day.

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Strange?

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 4>How oh no, no, no, I do what you're doing?

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Do you think knowing more is always better? But you're

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 4>ignoring how it might hurt you?

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean hurt me?

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 4>What I mean, Sayuri, is how will you handle the

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 4>darkest secrets of this place when you don't even know

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 4>your own?

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Wait?

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 3>While I was here? Were you? Is she ready yet?

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 4>Almost? There's no rushing beauty. Take a look in the mirror.

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 4>Do you like who you see?

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 3>That's not me?

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:34.199
<v Speaker 4>Clad o ca see? Like I said, when it comes

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 4>to my work, I'm divine, don't worry your secrets safe

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 4>with me?

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean.

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 4>Now? Are you done? Yes? I'm done? But out you

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 4>go now, beauty queen, and don't forget to brush your hair?

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:56.959
<v Speaker 4>What's up?

0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 6>Three far?

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:02.399
<v Speaker 4>Nighty night o?

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Damsa same shit every day?

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 8>Wait?

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Did she leave a bobby bit in my hair?

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:16.960
<v Speaker 9>Hey?

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 4>You?

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 4>Hey?

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I thought we had a date. I know, I'm sorry.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I got caught out for looking up haggard was the implication,

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and they dragged me into what account for the beauty

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>salt around here? Lady took her sweet time too. I'm sorry.

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I tried, but I couldn't get out. It looks nice, yeah, yeah,

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 2>real nice. I don't quite feel like myself. What is

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>that like to feel like you? I don't really know anymore.

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess I've never liked to be fussed over, and

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 2>now even that has been taken away. The chaplain said

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>something today that I can't stop thinking about. He said

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 2>that losing control over your life forces you to re

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 2>evaluate your identity. Then have you learned a lot about

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:19.199
<v Speaker 2>yourself since you've been here? To be honest, I have

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 2>learned that I need other people more than I ever

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 2>wanted to admit before.

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Can I fuss over you for a second. Okay, you

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 3>look beautiful. It's some haircut. I like it, but it's

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 3>not the haircut.

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I wish we didn't always meet like this, these damn

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 2>bars between us. What would happen if we met on

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 2>the outside, if you said something like that to me

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 2>the way you just said it. Yeah, well I might

0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 2>have to reach over and kiss you.

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 3>I Kenleena oh YEA.
