0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, father.

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 3>Sorry you start with me. I didn't expect anyone in

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 3>this early.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Today's the big day, isn't it?

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I suppose it is.

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 4>If you've come to help, then just give me a task.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, at the altar, there's a stack of pamphlets that

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 6>can be passed out on the.

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Seatbacks, six per pew on it. I must say, you

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 3>seem especially chipper today.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Who me, don't so, just my normal charming self.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Things are going well?

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 7>Then, well, let's see, still locked up in a labyrinthine prison,

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 7>with no idea as to the reason, no autonomy as

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 7>to what happens to me, and little to any hope

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 7>about a future that includes freedom.

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Soon, I'd say, about the same. But who's counting?

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 5>I see there is.

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 8>Something something more like someone someone here, Yes, someone special.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 4>You remember the woman I told you about, the one

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I saw barefoot outside my cell the first night I

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 4>was here, The one who was singing to you, Well,

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 4>she was singing. I wouldn't necessarily say to me, but uh, anyways, Yeah,

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 4>we've seen each other again a few times.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 5>You don't have to explain. But would you mind if

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 5>I say I'm happy for you?

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:01:58.480 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 4>It's nice, right.

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 5>We all need other people.

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 6>It is through those relationships that we learn about ourselves. Paradoxically,

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 6>it is only by learning about ourselves that we may

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 6>honestly understand others. And to that end, it is most

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 6>important that we not lose sight of our own individuality

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 6>in the reflection of another person's mirror.

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Why would you say that, I.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 5>Must be thinking about myself.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Six pamphlets per pew. What's next?

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.399
<v Speaker 5>Syh? I appreciate the help, but I think you'd better

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 5>be off.

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 4>Wait, you're sending me away?

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 6>Never but I understand you have your first day of

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 6>work today. What the captain told me to start up

<v Speaker 6>and I gave an emphatic yes.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Didn't they tell you?

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 4>Why won't you tell me where we're going work detail?

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:53.760

<v Speaker 4>But I don't know why?

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.320

<v Speaker 2>All good, thank you. Food seems normal today.

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 5>Not every day is special.

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Listen. I just want some idea of what we're making here.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 5>Everything in this world has a maker. Good things, bad things,

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 5>things that help, things that hurt. Whatever it is, somebody

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 5>had to make it.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 4>Do you always speak in riddles?

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 5>There once was a king, and in celebration and reverence,

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 5>a blacksmith came to him and presented him with a

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 5>weapon that he'd make just for the king. And it

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 5>was beautiful and special and unlike anything else. And the

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 5>king was touched. And so the king went to war.

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 5>His armies decimated their opponents without contest, and the king

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 5>felt he owed it all to the blacksmith, and this weapon,

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 5>it was made just for war. So the king called

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 5>the blacksmith back, and he said to him, I want

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 5>all my generals to have these, to which the black

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 5>smith replied, my King, it takes months of dedication and

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 5>skilled to build even one. I can't possibly make enough

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 5>for all of your generals. I'll need to train apprentices,

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 5>but then the technique will no longer be secret. So

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 5>I need your blessing. Then the king gave his blessing, saying,

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 5>whatever it takes so that each one of my generals

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:26.719
<v Speaker 5>have one. And so the blacksmith went to train five apprentices.

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Noah hol me.

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 10>Something how then Sory back to your station. Nahi project

0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 10>for machine shop needs attention, medical extraction, biohezard, cleanup, repair, inact, replacement.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 3>What a mess could be a lot worse. At least

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 3>he isn't screaming.

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 10>Grab his arms.

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll get the machine.

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I've got biohazard. I can see the concern on your

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 3>face that man no longer works here and is no

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 3>longer our concern. When he leaves his room, that will

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 3>be life.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 6>Remember, let life be life, Let work be work.

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 5>The blacksmiths apprentices were able to build weapons for each

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 5>of the generals, and the King's army continued to expand

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 5>and conquer. Then the generals went to the blacksmith to say,

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 5>these weapons are incredible. If all of our soldiers had them,

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 5>the King's glory could spread even further. And so the

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 5>blacksmith went to his apprentices and told each of them

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 5>to train more apprentices. But the apprentices were haunted by

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 5>the hundreds of souls whose lives had been claimed, and

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 5>so the apprentices trained the soldiers to make their own weapons.

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 9>Good morning, project for have a pleasant workday.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 4>New day, New Part.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Now that every soldier had a weapon themselves, the army

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 5>was unstoppable. The King's dominion continued to expand as they

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:10.559
<v Speaker 5>conquered lands far and wide. Still they needed more weapons,

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 5>for the greater the kingdom grew, the more there was

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 5>to protect and defend. But now the soldiers were haunted

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 5>by the ghosts of those slain, and they needed to

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 5>find someone else to build the weapons for them.

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 4>So who did they train the slaves.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 11>Good afternoon, Project Fall. Your workday is over. Please proceed

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 11>to security screening. Good morning, Project Fall, Have a pleasant work.

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Day, a day New Part.

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 5>Things in the Kingdom were good, but in order to

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 5>build all of these weapons, they had depleted the resources

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 5>of the land. Mills had been built all along the river,

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 5>so the fish were getting harder to find and catch.

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 5>There was a hard winter, and the crops died, and

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 5>the animals and wild game were thinned out. And when

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 5>there wasn't enough food, the first people to beat denied

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 5>were the slaves. So while the king sat in his castle,

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 5>safe and sound, with all the food in the world.

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 5>The slaves were out in the barren lands, starving. Many

0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 5>had come from the lands the king had conquered, remembered

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 5>their burning homes, the dead families, death with no conscience,

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 5>but never without consequence. Altogether, the slaves outnumbered the soldiers

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 5>and the guards and the generals, and they overthrew them all,

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 5>even the king, with the same weapons that had conquered them.

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 4>But then, weren't they haunted by the ghosts?

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 5>Did you understand the story?

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Project for room needs attention, medical extraction and bile hazard only.

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 9>Good morning, project for have a pleasant work.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Day, New day, new part. Wait, this is not a

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 4>new part today. One of the parts repeated.

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 5>You don't say.

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 4>Look, can I ask you something? What was the weapon?

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 5>You ever notice when you leave here? How Thomas only

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 5>sort of half pays attention to the metal detector.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 4>I guess I hadn't really thought about it.

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 5>What about yourself? The screws? Ever? Toss it? Toss it,

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, search through it, check the mattress, snack the toilet.

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 4>You know what?

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 2>No, they never have.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 5>Some of these people they don't belong here, and the

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 5>pen knows it. Listen. Your parts are repeating. This place

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 5>wants something from you, or to show you something, or

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 5>maybe it wants you to do something.

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 4>You're saying, what that the pen has a consciousness.

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 5>At least an influence. Haven't you felt it?

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.199
<v Speaker 4>What is it supposed to feel like?

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.400
<v Speaker 5>You ever leave somewhere? Sure you forgot something but can't

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 5>remember what it is. It's that sort of feeling. It's

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 5>not constant, but I bet you feel it, don't you.

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that every single day. But just saying,

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.439
<v Speaker 4>you're right, how do I know what it wants?

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 5>Think of it as a puzzle.

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.919
<v Speaker 11>Good afternoon, project Ful. Your workday is over. Please proceed

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 11>to security screening.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Siary.

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, you know what? I left the blank in

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 2>my pocket.

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 4>I was just about to start a piece right before lunch,

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.360
<v Speaker 4>and I totally forgot about it.

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Could you please hand this to Thomas.

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, siriy Please be mindful in the future, naturally.

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 9>Good morning, project for have a pleasant work.

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Day, New day, old part. I did exactly what you said.

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 4>I've got one of each of the parts in my cell.

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 5>Good.

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 4>They took the blank from my pocket but didn't even

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 4>think to look at my sock. It's such an obvious trick,

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe it actually worked.

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 5>Maybe it was supposed to them.

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but what do I do now? How do I

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:06.679
<v Speaker 4>put the pieces together?

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 5>How should I know?

0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Project four room needs attention, medical extraction, biohazard clean up,

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:22.400
<v Speaker 3>mechanical repair.

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 11>Good afternoon, project for your workday is over. Please proceed

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 11>to security screening.

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Light's apt.

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 8>Okay, if it is a puzzle and there must be

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 8>a solution, somehow, these all have to fit together, maybe

0:20:55.320 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 8>like this, maybe like this.

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 4>Maybe this is impossible. Maybe I'm insane. The pen doesn't

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 4>want anything from you, Syarie. It's not the fucking Overlook Hotel.

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 4>The only influence that has over people is to crush

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 4>their spirits into submission, to make them crazy, a remaningless

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 4>minutial like this, and steal their souls in the process.

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.199
<v Speaker 4>They have the kingdom, the generals, the soldiers, and all

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 4>the weapons.

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 2>All you have is a contraband stack of scrap metal.

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 4>That's going to get you throw them back in the

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 4>fucking dungeon bad and delusions of grandeur that anything you

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 4>do in this life could actually make a difference. Holy

0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Mother of God, it's a key. At least I think

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 4>it's a key, but it's.

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Not a normal door key.

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 4>It sort of looks like like.

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.479
<v Speaker 5>This could be a key, could be anything.

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 4>Let's say it is a key, what do you think

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:03.360
<v Speaker 4>it opens?

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 5>Well? Do you think it opens?

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea, and.

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:09.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't know anything more than you. But you put

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:15.919
<v Speaker 5>facts and observations together, and sooner or later you'll understand things,

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 5>or at least you think you do. Anyway, that was fast.

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.880
<v Speaker 5>It took me hundreds of tries before my part's finally repeated.

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.400
<v Speaker 5>You mean I already finished my puzzle. I've just been

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 5>waiting to use it. What is that device?

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 4>A device that.

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:35.680
<v Speaker 5>Does what we're about to find out?

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 10>Wait?

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 5>Hold on, do you understand the story? Now?

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 2>The pen is the kingdom.

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 4>We are the.

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Sleeves, but we're also holding weapons because they taught us

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 5>how to build them.

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 4>You're saying that things.

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.439
<v Speaker 5>When we go back to the shop, you leave. Do

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:57.639
<v Speaker 5>you understand, no questions, no looking back, just to leave. Yeah, listen,

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 5>there's no time for that. This is what I'm saying

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 5>supposed to do. I feel it? This is it? You're

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 5>sure no, But I'm taking the leap of faith. Now

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 5>go pardon me.

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Saiary, Where are you going? Work hasn't ended?

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Hey, let work be work and life be life.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:35.840
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:39.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, if work isn't here, I guess I'm going back

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 4>to life unacceptable.

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 10>If you walk out, there will be consequences.

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Do you understand?

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I hope so.

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 10>Somebody get her back. She can't just just tire?

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 5>Where is that?

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:55.640
