1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Monsters. There's a production of I Heart Radio Flint 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. It will 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: take around two point nine seconds for an object, say 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: amount of five ft eleven inches weighing one and sixty 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: two pounds, to fall from a thirteen story window of 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: a building too the street below, not that a humans 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: mass has any bury On the kinematic equation, the speeder 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: impact would be roughly twenty seven meters per second or 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: kilometers per hour. Upon impact, a number of things happened 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: to the body at once. The skull may shutter. They 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: also may disconnect from the rest of the heart, pumping 12 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: blood into the body cavity, depriving the brain of fresh oxygen. 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: The sudden impact could cause the blood vessels, even sells 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: themselves to rupture, but to one point five gallons of 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: blood can leave the body a human water balloon, flowing 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: from beneath the surface into the light. Some may take 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: solace in the idea that you may blackout from the 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: terror before landing, or have a heart attack from the stress. 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: But as they say, it's not the fool that kills you, 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: it's the landing. This scene has been playing in my head, 21 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: over and over a fever dream, constantly on repeat the 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: seconds leading up to my brother's death, because this is 23 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: how I imagine him, my brother being attacked and thrown 24 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: to his death from thirteen stories. I say attack because 25 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: that is the only scenario that makes sense, because I 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: knew my brother and my brother would never go out 27 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: of a thirteen story window voluntarily. Never, and yet suicide. 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: It's the official cause of death on Michael's death certificate. 29 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: But it's like my father always told me, never trust 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: the official lion. The world needs to know what really 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: happened and who is responsible. January seven, two pm Jenna 32 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: ma Marca. He most recently passed mile marker over two 33 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: days to Arlington at this rate, that is, if I 34 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: don't make too many stops.

But now 48 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: I think I'm getting attached. Jenna? Can you die up 49 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: a sarcasm? Another I don't want to fall in love 50 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: or anything. Whatever you say, Jack, Yeah, here's what we know. 51 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Three people died of apparent suicides after participating the Next 52 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: Corps of Human trials of this soon to launch product shut. 53 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I mind that they eliminates the need to sleep, and 54 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: one of them was my m Michael. Okay, September. I'm late, 55 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: not good. There was my first day in Next Corp, 56 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: my first day of my new job as Max full 57 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: as personal assisting. Can I help you? I'm Jack Locker. 58 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm head to see Mr Fuller, Hi Jack, Mr Fuller? 59 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: Really dirty? No, it's followed. It gives me an opportunity 60 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: to introduce you know. I was confused. The problem was sleep, 61 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: as in that I hadn't had any I knew it 62 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: was a risk not sleeping because it was my first 63 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: day at next Corp and I needed to be sharp 64 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: make an impression. I took the risk of staying up 65 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: all night because sleep deprivation was tolerable. The alternative was not. 66 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: The alternative was night terrors, which actually makes perfect sense. 67 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: I been grieving and I was having me some fever dreams, 68 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: and these nightmares were getting worse. They were evolving, becoming 69 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: more lucid. I would wake up to the sound of 70 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: tapping on my bedroom window and this metallic smell, like 71 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: rust and the cane leaves. In the nightmare, I see him. 72 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: Their brother was standing outside of my bedroom window, tapping 73 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: on the glass, his face stretched in anguish to formed 74 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: and flattened and still caked with the blood from the 75 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: four that killed him. It's dislocated draw, preventing him from 76 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: saying wherever it was he had come to say. It 77 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: was like my brother's spirit was just just holding on, 78 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: just clinging desperately to its last physical contact me for 79 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: this nightmare a hundred times, for the last time there 80 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: was something new. He wrote a message on the glass layers, 81 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: spelled out in his own body, fluid and blood. Two 82 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: words luck. It's such were my nightmares. So I chose 83 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: not to happen, at least not before my first day 84 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: and Next Corp with Max Fuller. Mr Fuller, I just 85 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: wanted to say how much this means to me. I mean, no, 86 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I get it. No, no need for 87 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: the continued gratitude thing. Look, I'm happy to have you here, Jack, 88 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: and we've got some work to do, so just up 89 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: here on the right. On my first day, Max introduced 90 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: me to the top minds of Next Corp, which coincidentally 91 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: also happened to be some of the top minds in 92 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: the human enhancement industry. They operated out of a reclaimed 93 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: warehouse in the dog Patch district of San Francisco. The 94 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: innovations that spring from this neighborhood are respon in school 95 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: for a considerable portion of California's GDP, which is now 96 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: the fourth largest on the planet. Everything here has reclaimed wood, 97 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: ship lab and rusty colors. It's a form of curated authenticity, 98 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: built on the graveyard of the past and decorated with 99 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: his bones. Has a strange chili sort of fields. Unnatural everyone. 100 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: This is Jack, Jack Lock. He'll be working with us. 101 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what I don't understand. This is Jack who 102 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: will be working with us. Yeah, I got that. Isn't 103 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: this We'll talk about Jesus. I'll go first. Hey Jack, 104 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm Finn Connolly. Yes, hey, I've heard of you that 105 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: the Steve was in the act of human enhuntment. Okay, yeah, sure. 106 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: And this is Cassandra Berkeley. She's a partner and our 107 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: staff psychiatristicest woman in the building. Nice to meet you. 108 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: Uh huh, Max, Can we speak in the hallway? We 109 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: can do that later, can't Max? Fine? Gentlemen, be sweet, 110 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: don't worry. She's always like that. Well not always, was her. 111 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: Me little this morning, it was just ten minutes ago. 112 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: We're making bets on how quickly you'd be ejected from 113 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: the building, and yet here you stand. Wow, so I'm 114 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: not very popular around you. Well, to be completely honest 115 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: with you, there are dozens of applicants who are better 116 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: suited for this than you know of Fens. Anyway, you're 117 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: here now for whatever reason, Max has taken a shine 118 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: to you. And this silent young man who apparently has 119 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: no opinion on you whatsoever is Eddie Binder, who's our 120 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: team physician. Nice to meet you. It'll be good not 121 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: to be the new kid. How long have you been? 122 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: A little over month? Eddie Year is going to oversee 123 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: our next round of human trials. Next round. Didn't realize 124 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: you that human testing before, well, it wasn't entirely successful. 125 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: You don't hear about the unsuccessful ones to you that? Yes, 126 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: of course that makes sense. Yeah, has Max told you 127 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: what you'll be doing around here? Because we are all curious. 128 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I think he wants me to help 129 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: organize his thoughts. Uh, that sounds ambiguous. Good luck with that. 130 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: Oh pro tip, you should get on cast as good 131 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: side because you don't want to be on our bad side. 132 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: I need you on something, Maddy. Could you show Jack around, 133 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: catch him up on some of the new new I 134 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: can Jack, I'll catch up with you a little bit. Okay, 135 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: God's babe, how about we start with the lamp really 136 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: incredible stuff. It became immediately clear to me that Eddie 137 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: didn't get him. He knew little about what went on before, 138 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: and even less about what was happening now. I couldn't 139 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: piece together why such a medio come man would find 140 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: himself in the midst of all these geniuses. Where they 141 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: failed to comprehend or capture is that next CORP is 142 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: ground zero in the next wave of human innovation. That 143 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: he and now I two were inside these hors witnesses 144 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: to that elusive moment that has powered American progress for 145 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: the past two dred and seventy years. And this time 146 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: the stakes were higher than ever. This time the mad 147 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: scientists were engineering us reroute in our neural pathways, reprogramming 148 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: our brains to enable us to author ourselves and enhance 149 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: our human condition and ways that were previously unimaginable, pinked 150 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: up so far enough and long to have a phase 151 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: too human trial. I know, they seemed like fairy tales 152 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: right way further off. I was shocked to find out 153 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: how far along they were too, How many people were 154 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: in the initial trials to phase one. It was tiny thirty. Yeah, 155 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: it's no way to do large science. But for the 156 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: company's purposes, I guess it was fine. I mean, they 157 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: already knew the drug worn't so why did they shut 158 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: down the trials there? I don't know. I'm new here 159 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: to remember, you'll have to ask Max or Cass or 160 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Finn or my predecessor, Dr Reynolds, though I'm not sure 161 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: she'll be willing to talk to you. Her name is 162 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: sort of Verboning. If you get me. Yeah, why okay, 163 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: nobody tells me anything. I don't need to know. Yeah, 164 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: I look, I'm just messing with it. It's probably easier 165 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: that way, man, exactly.

And that's when I got the video. 333 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: You need to take that. No, just an old buddy. Sorry. 334 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: Eight thirty at before the hotel, All right, put it. Thanks, Okay, 335 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm going head out get some rest. I've got a 336 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: text message from a block number, just a link to 337 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: a video called Algernon. The scene cuts into a laboratory. 338 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: The subject step began acting erratic at roughly two fifteen 339 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: hours without sleep. At first, it was one or two 340 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: familiar voice dr Abby Reynolds. One by one day all 341 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: began exhibiting similar behaviors, pacing, digging at the bottoms of 342 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: their cages until their claws began bleeding. Cortisol levels spiked 343 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: off the charts, and one by one, in rapid succession, 344 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: they began attacking each other themselves. They are eating each other. 345 00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: I am, I am terminating this round of testing, be 346 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: euthanizing the subject. This is I've never seen anything. If 347 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: this was the result of the animal testing rats devouring themselves, 348 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: chewing each of his faces off, then how the hell 349 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: did next Scorpe get permission to have human trials? And 350 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: these data points had to have been omitted in the 351 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: application of a third party review of the tests. Had 352 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: to have been not just sugarcoated. They had to have 353 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: baked a brand new seven layer cake. I had to 354 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: And if we assume that it was Dr Aby Reynolds 355 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: who send the video, that would make her complicity. It 356 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: would also make her a massive liability for them. So 357 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: how much did they pay her to shut her up? 358 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: Hero Mars? When I got home that night after me 359 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: and David Truth still popped three milligrams and Zanex washed 360 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: it down with three fingers of bourbon. The zan X 361 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: was my brother Michael's anxiety disorders of family trade. I 362 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: found the Unfield prescription and the things he'd left behind, 363 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: so I took you. I only used it occasionally, strategically, 364 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: like when a death conform my grain was kicking in 365 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: after thirty hours without sleep. Sometimes it worked toward off 366 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: the darkness my night terrors. I just needed to turn 367 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: my brain off and check out. I remember my head 368 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: hitting the pillar. I remember the ice melting in the 369 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: bottom of the bourbon glass, and I remember feeling a 370 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: draft on my face and realizing my bedroom window was 371 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: open about an inch. And I remember, as I was 372 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: slipping into oblivion that had never opened the window before 373 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: because it had been sealed shot by decades of paint enamel. 374 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: I bolted straight up, despite my very serious need for 375 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: real sleep. There's an accent booze I swallow. It couldn't 376 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: stopped my heart rate from suddenly searching, and I shot 377 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: the window, startled through my apartment in a haze, my 378 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: mind race, and despite my completely impaired bodily function, I 379 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: took a quick inventory. Something had been in my apartment. 380 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: It was as if everything has shifted just a few 381 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: inches off. I've been hoping for some indication that was 382 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: on the right path, something to tell me I was 383 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: getting close to exposing what was being covered up. And 384 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: here it was. I had hit a nerve. I couldn't 385 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: think straight. I'd been awake for over thirty hours, and 386 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't going to get any of that precious sleep now, 387 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: which I needed in order to keep going, in order 388 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: to get to the truth about Next Corp. And why 389 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: Max Fuller would want to push his revolutionary human enhancement 390 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: technology to market despite the risks. What's that? That's the 391 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: low battery alert. If you'll sell at five, the vehicle 392 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: will power down if we do not recharge ship. All right, 393 00:26:52,640 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: find a nearrow station. Close your eyes. I let's return 394 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: to the boy. The boy on the ice. That's it. 395 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: The boy's body has gone numb, and he's staring with 396 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: bright burning eyes at the winter stars, appearing in the sky, 397 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: trying not to think of his brother, his identical twin brother, 398 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: who who has already fallen through the ice. The final 399 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,479 Speaker 1: breath frozen in his lungs is lifeless, eyes fixed towards 400 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: the depths below the bottomless dark, a mirror image of himself. 401 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Monsters, starring John Boyega as Jack Lock, Darren Chris 402 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: as Max Fuller, Marley Shelton as Cass Berkeley, Clark Gregg 403 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: as Walter Fuller, sah And Gauja as David Truesdale, Nicholas 404 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: Takoski as Finn Connolly, Claire Bronson as dr Abbie Reynolds, 405 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: David Chen as Michael Corbin, su Hila Elettar as Jenna, 406 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Victor Rivera as Eddie Bender, Robert Pralgo as Agent Batty, 407 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: Steve Coulter as Senator Berkeley, wrote A.
