Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Monsters as a production of My Heart Radio Flynn
Speaker 1: Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. Watching someone
Speaker 1: drown is horrifying. In the first stage, the victim holds
Speaker 1: their breath until the urge to breathe becomes overwhelming. Depending
Speaker 1: on the amount of activity occurrent thrashing in the water
Speaker 1: of the heart rate, this stage can last anywhere from
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes. Inevitably,
Speaker 1: the urge to breathe becomes unbearable and the victim's free
Speaker 1: will evaporates, and so it breathes in the water. The
Speaker 1: thing it believes will allow it to survive will in
Speaker 1: fact kill it. And this part only stops when the
Speaker 1: brain stops. You were dreaming about the incident from your child.
Speaker 1: This was different, This was someone else. It was a woman.
Speaker 1: Her head was forced under the water. Someone was drowning
Speaker 1: her and I just stood there watching it, kept repeating, playing,
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. It doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1: You missed two doses, Max, and when you finally crashed,
Speaker 1: your brain had a lot of housekeeping to do all
Speaker 1: on its own. You can't be missing doses like sure
Speaker 1: cast I get that, but you're you're a psychiatrist, dream
Speaker 1: like that? What do you think it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Represents dreams are how our brains process emotion. Nightmares represent
Speaker 1: repressed fears like powerlessness or loss of control. Didn't feel
Speaker 1: like a representation. It was vivid, lucid. It felt real.
Speaker 1: I'll bet it. That kind of activity in your subconscious
Speaker 1: indicates its processing at an accelerated rate. It's your brain
Speaker 1: activated at a high level, racing to catch up. It's
Speaker 1: a symptom of withdraw Max, your dreams are going to
Speaker 1: be a little frightening if you go cold turkey. How
Speaker 1: do I make them stop? Well? Nice forward, deep breath.
Speaker 1: How are you back now? Yeah, I'm back? And is
Speaker 1: it done? Yeah? It's done. Get by m hm m
Speaker 1: hm h or lou Virginia about an hour and a
Speaker 1: half from Arlington, depending on how much this storm slows
Speaker 1: me down. After Maxis speech sees the value of the
Speaker 1: next course, initial coin offering skyrocketed over five million people
Speaker 1: try to pre order shy and next Corps website crashed.
Speaker 1: The offers were pouring in. One VC offered four hundred billion,
Speaker 1: and Max turned it down because in the days leading
Speaker 1: up to see. Yes, Max Fuller had been up to something,
Speaker 1: something big and now shot. I was about to fall
Speaker 1: into someone else's hands. You see, Max had been offered
Speaker 1: and on goodly sung by someone to acquire his start
Speaker 1: up and release his products of the masses, whether they
Speaker 1: were safe or not. It would have to have been
Speaker 1: someone gigantic, someone with the resources the funding to roll
Speaker 1: out Shy on a massive scale without having to worry
Speaker 1: about regulations at all. By the time I made it
Speaker 1: back to San Francisco, Max was already got in all
Speaker 1: the departments at Next Corp, laying off of sev of
Speaker 1: all Next Corp employees. Only the critical stuff remained. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: Max quote a private meeting in Cassandra's office. That's when
Speaker 1: I crashed, right, Jack. I'd been lying there, passed out
Speaker 1: for exactly three minutes. My head and Mike was recording
Speaker 1: the entire time. We need to call an ambulance. Casket
Speaker 1: Eddie in here? Hey Jack, Jack, wake up? Should we
Speaker 1: call an ambulance? I doubt that's necessary? Well, is he breathing? Finn?
Speaker 1: If he wasn't breathing, I'd call a damn ambulance. What
Speaker 1: n't I? Well, how's his pulses. He feverish. He's fine, Finn,
Speaker 1: it's probably just withdrawal. What is from with the two
Speaker 1: of you? Fan? Come now? No, No, I held my
Speaker 1: tongue after the trials, Max, when you started testing on
Speaker 1: yourself because it was your goddamn body, Max, and you
Speaker 1: knew the risk. He knows the risk. Save it, Cassandra.
Speaker 1: We were all on a straight and narrow before you
Speaker 1: inserted yourself into this. What do you have to gain
Speaker 1: cast that I don't know about? Yeah? What do you
Speaker 1: have to go? You fired? If you're happy getting time
Speaker 1: pumps inside of every brain that challenges you, well guess
Speaker 1: what you're not getting into mine. You can both go
Speaker 1: straight to hell and expect to hear from my lawyers.
Speaker 1: If I decide that I'm forgiving enough not to go
Speaker 1: straight to the goddamn h then let him go. He
Speaker 1: can tear everything down. No, he can't. If anyone gets
Speaker 1: ahold of our records. Guest, listen to me, listen to me.
Speaker 1: Shut up. Hi, Yeah, it's Mr Fuller. I need security
Speaker 1: to immediately intercept Mr Connolly and remove him from the building.
Speaker 1: That's right, yes, sir, thank you, that's Eddie. Are you
Speaker 1: calm yet? I am Eddie. You need me? It's Jack?
Speaker 1: Holy shit? What happened withdrawal from shut eye? Spars the theatrics? Eddie,
Speaker 1: I already got a whole earful from Finn. Just check
Speaker 1: to make sure he didn't split his goddamn skull. Okay,
Speaker 1: his pupils look normal. Where'd you hit back of the head?
Speaker 1: No blood. He'll probably have a crick in his neck
Speaker 1: from the way you had him lying. Can you do
Speaker 1: anything for what his head ache? No, it's cholesterol. Can
Speaker 1: you wake him up? Jack? Jack? Jack? Fine, Eddie, that'll
Speaker 1: be fine. We're good. Are we going to talk about
Speaker 1: my department? Sure? Um, they're fired except you if you
Speaker 1: want to stay. Jesus, them's the brakes kid? Oh? Are
Speaker 1: you going to dose him? I'm going ahead to the meeting?
Speaker 1: All right, you can deal with the rest. Yes, yep,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. There you go, Jack. His pulse
Speaker 1: is a little high. How you feeling, Jack? That'll be
Speaker 1: all Eddie, Thank you, Cassandra. Yes, you can all go
Speaker 1: to hell. Thank you. Eddie. Who was long enough to
Speaker 1: miss the fireworks? And there was a call for you?
Speaker 1: I told them you were out, But you may want
Speaker 1: to check your voicemail they very badly wanted to talk
Speaker 1: to you. Well fires weapons. Well, you tell me, Jack,
Speaker 1: how much should I have you been taking? And how often?
Speaker 1: Just what you gave me ship. So a side effect
Speaker 1: is that it makes the program that he's trying to
Speaker 1: fix was it regulates hormones on your behalf. If you
Speaker 1: don't recharge the nanites at regular intervals, they go offline,
Speaker 1: and so your body loses that delicate balance and you crash.
Speaker 1: You may want to put that on the label. Your
Speaker 1: opinion has been noted. While you were out cold. We
Speaker 1: fired his entire department. Wait what, I can understand what
Speaker 1: he's upset. But when Max makes a decision, everyone yeah
Speaker 1: in his department. Don't worry Jack, you still have a job.
Speaker 1: Max's orders. He had to run. There's quite a bit
Speaker 1: going on. And and Finn, well he was okay with it,
Speaker 1: of course not he quit quit. It was all quite dramatic.
Speaker 1: He stormed out of the building. You should have been here,
Speaker 1: well here and a week now. If you'll excuse me, Jack,
Speaker 1: Max has created quite a bit of paperwork. I think
Speaker 1: you'll find you've got your share of work cut out
Speaker 1: for you to Oh, I have something for you, shy
Speaker 1: enough for you to ramp down over the coming days.
Speaker 1: As you can see, you don't want to go cold
Speaker 1: turkey on this. Okay, huh, I guess half the dose.
Speaker 1: Every time the headaches come back, You kiss when and
Speaker 1: if you need more? See me. When I finally did
Speaker 1: check my voice moment I got the ass as to
Speaker 1: why Abby Reynolds didn't me in the alleyway. This is
Speaker 1: Detective Charles of the San Francisco Pete Homicide Unit. We're
Speaker 1: investigating the drowning death of Dr Abbey Reynolds. You understand
Speaker 1: that you may be the last person to have seen
Speaker 1: her alive. If you could call me. I had to
Speaker 1: find Finn if he was out that maybe he was vulnerable,
Speaker 1: maybe even in a position to come clean. I was
Speaker 1: still working out my game, my strategy of how to
Speaker 1: get a confession out of him. When I co op
Speaker 1: with him, I thought, I find you here, What the
Speaker 1: hell do you want? I'm sorry, Finn, man, I need
Speaker 1: to tell you something. Beat to Jack, I'm on level
Speaker 1: thirteen and I can't chit chat right now. You have
Speaker 1: to trust me, Finn. I'm sorry. What Why would I
Speaker 1: trust you, Jack? Of all people? Because no, no, no, no, no, no, no, enough. Look,
Speaker 1: I want to trust to Jack, because despite all of
Speaker 1: your bullshit and your lives, you're actually pretty cool. Baby.
Speaker 1: You need to explain this, damn it. Vegas. You help me,
Speaker 1: not just the speech, which would have been really good
Speaker 1: things to you, but you reminded me of a part
Speaker 1: of myself i'd forgotten. He reminded me who I really am,
Speaker 1: which is a geek obsessed with antique arcade games, sci
Speaker 1: fi and psychedelics and the mechanics of the human brain,
Speaker 1: of an endearing uber nerd, instead of what I become,
Speaker 1: which is a mad scientist whose body hacking startup is
Speaker 1: about to evolve millions of humans and the machines, which
Speaker 1: brings me back to the reason I can't trust you, Jack,
Speaker 1: even if you really are a cool dude deep down inside,
Speaker 1: I can't trust you because right now you have a
Speaker 1: swarm of tiny robots in your brain. No, no, listen,
Speaker 1: no ship, an alien fleet of space invaders inside your skull,
Speaker 1: converging in clusters a cross millions of synapsis and bombing
Speaker 1: the ship out of them. They're a program to light
Speaker 1: up your endocrine system on command from your hypothalamus, all
Speaker 1: the way down to your testicles, my friend. It's taking
Speaker 1: control of your body's communication. But instead of using nerves
Speaker 1: to transmit information, it uses your blood. It's a hormone
Speaker 1: delivery system. Dopamine, oxytose and testosterone, adrenaline, serotonin, cortisol, and
Speaker 1: so on and so on. It it's controlling your brain.
Speaker 1: You understand that, don't you? And guess who owns the aliens? Jack?
Speaker 1: Next quote Benga, when you took shot I, Jack, you
Speaker 1: handed Cassandra Berkeley a joystick to your brain? Oh wait,
Speaker 1: I thought I was just asleep, right? Should and about
Speaker 1: keeping you awake. It's about keeping you connected. Should I
Speaker 1: can be used to make you happy or sad. It
Speaker 1: can give you a raging heart on or it can
Speaker 1: make you want to jump off of a building. Jack shut.
Speaker 1: I is mind control, And somehow, with all of our
Speaker 1: hard work, you and me just helped Max Fuller convinced
Speaker 1: over a million people to order it. That's when I
Speaker 1: saw it through the back window the gray van. We
Speaker 1: have to leave? What leave? I just got Finny. We
Speaker 1: have to leave this place right and I'm not going
Speaker 1: anywhere with you? Jack? All right? How long has it
Speaker 1: been following? What? Who? Who's fall with us in the
Speaker 1: great van behind you in the black alley. What gray van,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ Man, those space in vaders. You must really
Speaker 1: be doing getting paranoid. Listen to me, man, The van
Speaker 1: has been following me and women's in it. It's dangerous bullshit.
Speaker 1: You are losing it, Abbey. I'm met Abbey Reynolds. Abbey, Okay.
Speaker 1: Max wanted me to give her a payout, but I
Speaker 1: never could. When I came back to my table from
Speaker 1: the Red starre Abbey was gone, disappeared, and the guys
Speaker 1: in the grave vand yes, yes. And a few hours
Speaker 1: ago I got back from bankers only to see my
Speaker 1: apartment building on fire, my home in flames. And you
Speaker 1: know what else I saw there? Yes, Finn, they almost
Speaker 1: got me, just like they got tomorrow. Just up and
Speaker 1: April nine, Michael Colpid, how the hell do you know
Speaker 1: about our test subject? Remember them, fim? They would the
Speaker 1: first humans to test your ship out in themselves. Man.
Speaker 1: But they are dead now because someone got to them.
Speaker 1: Now now, now there is no direct correlation between the Triumphant,
Speaker 1: all right, So I suppose you're you're gonna say that
Speaker 1: Abby Reynold's death was a coincidence to what heah Man yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you, but no, I don't believe you,
Speaker 1: Mr Cross. This is Detective Charles of the San Francisco
Speaker 1: Pete Homicide Unit. We're investigating the drowning death of Dr
Speaker 1: Abbey Reynolds. We understand that you may be the last
Speaker 1: person to seeing her alive. If you could tell, oh
Speaker 1: my god, now, are you ready to drop people ship
Speaker 1: than that routine? Because I hope you are. You can't
Speaker 1: dodge this anymore, and you can't resignize your way through it.
Speaker 1: You can't convince yourself everything's gonna be fine. You made
Speaker 1: this thing. This is your atom bomb. You know. The
Speaker 1: truth is I'm the only person you can trust anymore
Speaker 1: because I know, Finn. I know everything I know about
Speaker 1: the rats and the cover ups and the human trial
Speaker 1: has gone bad. And like you, I know that Shy,
Speaker 1: your brain child is dangerous and if next Corp your
Speaker 1: company lets it get into the wrong hands, a lot
Speaker 1: more people are gonna die. But we don't have much
Speaker 1: time because whoever is in that fucking gray van isn't
Speaker 1: here for some street fire to championship. Get up? Okay,
Speaker 1: made me in my place The rooftop garden. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you everything. Yeah, I snapped off the elevator and so
Speaker 1: Fincy and at the far end of the rooftop garden
Speaker 1: on the ledge. I approached him cautiously. Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'm not gonna jump. I just want to
Speaker 1: feel it. But feeling and pull, it's a strange phenomenon.
Speaker 1: Even though I'm a mentally stable person, I still have
Speaker 1: the thought, what if I just did it? What if
Speaker 1: I just jumped? The French call it the pell d V,
Speaker 1: the call of the void. Staring at the abyss, it
Speaker 1: stares back, Finn. I have some questions and I need
Speaker 1: straight honests. Okay, the trials. How did you select the participants?
Speaker 1: Surely you knew several of the individuals in the sample
Speaker 1: group of higher risk. Why didn't you screen for PTSD
Speaker 1: and they take this position for skins of fail. We
Speaker 1: didn't screen out high probability candidates, Jack, We enlisted them.
Speaker 1: We used them. What we needed a clear vantage point
Speaker 1: for the causality of adverse effects, the potential for increases
Speaker 1: neuro toxicity across that particular demograts. What is this a cult?
Speaker 1: When did cast brainwash you? You would agree to continue
Speaker 1: working on this when the danger because I had to.
Speaker 1: That was the only voice of reason. I was the
Speaker 1: last best hope for making shunn I safe. And I
Speaker 1: have what I've done, it done? What exactly made it safe? Jack?
Speaker 1: Kill switch? I've been working on an in secret. I
Speaker 1: knew we needed a governor in the system, and and
Speaker 1: I finally found it. It was in the delivery system.
Speaker 1: I solved the problem with Walter Fuller's nanites. I just
Speaker 1: reprogrammed them with a simple regulator, a kill switch. How so, Well,
Speaker 1: if the nanites detect the sudden surge of cortisol levels
Speaker 1: in the brain, they just shut off and he swift.
Speaker 1: I think, so we need to go to the lab
Speaker 1: to see the lad. I started a new trial new
Speaker 1: rats thirteen days ago, so you know it was well.
Speaker 1: I suppose if the rats haven't eaten each other yet, Jack,
Speaker 1: then it works. And if they haven't, then all we
Speaker 1: need to do is get the kill switch into Max's
Speaker 1: rain and maybe we can get him back. You knew
Speaker 1: what is time? What you knew that Max was changing?
Speaker 1: It wasn't clear at first. I mean mood swings, yeah,
Speaker 1: but Max has always had those. And then one day,
Speaker 1: you're talking, and he just looked at me differently, like
Speaker 1: there was someone else in the house. You know, I
Speaker 1: was already developing the kill switch, but that made me
Speaker 1: work a lot faster. Two ways he going to be Well,
Speaker 1: that part's an easy He'll be in Arlington, Virginian three days.
Speaker 1: Why he's signing everything over to the new owners of
Speaker 1: Next Corps, the new owners of Shut Eye. I can
Speaker 1: put up a legal fight, but that's only gonna stall him. Now,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be necessary. If we can get Max back,
Speaker 1: we'll fly out tomorrow. All right, you have the antidote.
Speaker 1: He's here with you. No, that is the hard part.
Speaker 1: It's in my lap, in my desk. I need to
Speaker 1: get back there before they confiscate everything they can do
Speaker 1: to Technically it's company property. I should go now while
Speaker 1: they're still at check. Okay, then go go go check
Speaker 1: your rats, get the antidote and call me. Well where
Speaker 1: are you going? You know someone who can help. I'll
Speaker 1: meet you back here. Jack. What's your back? You too?
Speaker 1: Jenna Cole Agent bat dialing agent beating, Come on, come on,
Speaker 1: pick pick up. You've ranched Special Agent Beatty with the
Speaker 1: human enhancement administration. Don't forget to lead your number of folks.
Speaker 1: It's Jack, Jack. Look, I got your message. We need
Speaker 1: to meet in person. There is a lot you need
Speaker 1: to know. I'm made of your way. Now. The man
Speaker 1: had fallen who was lying on on top of cross Cliver.
Speaker 1: Even his body was shattered, twisted, beading from everywhere. His
Speaker 1: limbs and neck were bent impossible angles, his bloody fingers
Speaker 1: reaching upwards towards the nice guy. The life was fading
Speaker 1: from him, and in his eyes I can see the
Speaker 1: horrifying confusion of a creature that didn't quite grasp what
Speaker 1: had happened to it. It wasn't until I stepped a
Speaker 1: few feet closer that my mind allowed the recognition of
Speaker 1: the dying man's face. It was Finn. He was just
Speaker 1: staring ahead into the abyss. He almost looked peaceful as
Speaker 1: the terror faded and the life flickered out of his eyes.
Speaker 1: I backed away and I turned to leave the scene
Speaker 1: when I saw him standing there, David Truesdale, the combat
Speaker 1: there room from the homeless shelter. The guy Abby told
Speaker 1: me to interview. He just stepped out of the elevator
Speaker 1: in the lobby of Finn's building. Moments after Finn's body dropped,
Speaker 1: David Truesdale, one of the volunteers of the Next Corp
Speaker 1: Trials along with my brother Michael. He was trenched in
Speaker 1: swearing m His pupils were dilated, more like an animal
Speaker 1: than a man. Then his eyes looked on mine, and
Speaker 1: he started walking towards me, walking fast. So I ran,
Speaker 1: and looking back over my shoulder, I saw him gave
Speaker 1: into the driversy of his gray hat, the gray van.
Speaker 1: Now I knew he was looked to that Tuesdale. He
Speaker 1: craned up, hid the gas peeled out after him. I
Speaker 1: ran like him. Tomorrow's Monsters starring John Boyega as Jack Lock,
