Speaker 1: Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. Welcome to

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: Fast Troup, America's as fastest reach charge station. You have

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: made right, right choice with Fast Troup. January seven, Keystone, Nebraska,

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: almost midnight. I had to stop and recharge the car,

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: and I think I was gonna make it. I've been

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: on the road for over twenty four hours now, about

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: thirty hours still to go before I reached Arlington unless

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: they catch me first. The night after my first day

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: and next Corpus Max Fullest personal assistant, I tracked down

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: David Truesdale, one of the participants of the first phase

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: of human Trials, and didn't go well. Have you had

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: any more contact with the next quarter You've spoken to

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: Max Fuller since? Yeah? Just Benjamin's Benjamin, Mr Truch. Looking back,

15
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: that's when all the trouble started. I didn't know who

16
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: was on to me at the time when I started digging,

17
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: so he didn't go unnoticed. Dr Abby Reynolds had tipped

18
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: me off to Truesdale's whereabouts. She was next Corps physician.

19
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Her job was to monitor and track the test subjects

20
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: during the shot I research similar behaviors, pacing, digging at

21
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: the bottoms of their cages, and attacking each other. I

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: am terminating this roundup test. The fact that she oversaw

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: faced one of the human trials despite something going horribly

24
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: wrong with the previous animal tests, and she must have

25
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: been instrumental in covering up. The only thing I knew

26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: for sure is that she would crack. She wasn't a

27
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: crypto hold onto a sea Christ much longer. Her moral

28
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: compass wouldn't allow it. She was too good. I could

29
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: said a lot about person that way, and if anyone

30
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: could break her, it was me. I just needed to

31
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: find her. Let me gome a fast track already. Never today, okay, okay,

32
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: just hurry up. M oh damn, please let your charge? Christ?

33
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: What is this kind of one? She's gonna stand there?

34
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: Stay on board? Can I help here? May decided for

35
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: electric You know the gas pumps are on the other side.

36
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Recharge complete, Jack, Let's go on, let's considering your side.

37
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Let's let's go. Let's go resuming, Chris. Who was that

38
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: stark out here? I can see the dull glow of

39
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: some metropolis off in the distance. Highways are for getting

40
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: from A to B and back rows of what happens

41
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: in between. My father told me that once it was bullshit.

42
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Of course, my father was capable of a massive amount

43
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: of bullshit. The truth is he was avoiding major highways

44
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: because he was on the run and there are less

45
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: facial recognition cameras on the back roads. My father, when

46
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: he passed away, he had nothing, no heirlooms, no family possessions.

47
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: He came from nothing and to nothing he returned. He

48
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: died alone with twenty five K in a sock drawer

49
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: my inheritance. That and the pile of video tapes filled

50
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: with footage of me as a boy. You think that's

51
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: what because I know that you thought I was going

52
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: to give your other hand. I switched it because he

53
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: thought I was going to do that trick every time.

54
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Always watched the hun on. Man. If there's only one

55
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: thing you learned from your papa, it's how to read

56
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: people and to always watch the hunt abby, always watch

57
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: the hands of None of these have ever been digitized

58
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: by his old penis on the camera still worked. My

59
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: father didn't believe in digital No social media profiles, no

60
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: online accounts, no digital footprint at all, which seems impossible

61
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: these days. Ship it's almost magic. Him being or nobody

62
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: to him meant that he could be anybody, anyone he

63
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: needed to be, depending on the circumstances. That's what it

64
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: takes to be a professional. Comment. When I was ten,

65
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: he decided that it was time for me to learn

66
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: the family business, how to support a sucker and how

67
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: to pocket their money. Whether they're noble laureates or low

68
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: life hustlers or fathers cast long shadows. When you were born,

69
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: each of you, there was a scene in you, deep down,

70
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 1: and this was potential. This could grow into a billion

71
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: different things. This is doctor Walter Fuller, Max's father, from

72
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: a commencement speech at Stanford University. More sure when he's exactly,

73
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: but the doctor seems to be in the fourties dust

74
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: of silver. These temples, a man in his prime. Family

75
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: gave you alluring and powerful you needed to get here.

76
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: You have found and trained a passion long enough for

77
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: it to get you through one of the most challenging

78
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: periods in your life. And what you need to do

79
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: now is to forget it all. Forget all of it,

80
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: everything that led you to this moment. Let it go

81
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: because it isn't real anymore. It isn't real because it

82
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: no longer exists. It's in the past. The only thing

83
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: that does exist right now is right now, this present moment,

84
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: and this this, this is where the future begins. In

85
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: this moment, you are in the prime of your life

86
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: and on the edge of a new era of human history.

87
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: From this moment, anything is possible. You are the authors

88
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: of what happens next. You can predict the future by

89
00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: inventing it. Mh predict the future by inventing him when

90
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: he did. Walter Fuller's contribution to the world of medicine

91
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: is immeasurable. The millions saved each year as a result

92
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: of that contribution, the noble prize he won as a

93
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: consequence Walter fullest work has been widely praised and documented

94
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: in history books. But Walter fullest personal life was jealously guarded.

95
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's astonishing that a public figure like Walter

96
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: Fuller was able to keep details of his private life

97
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: secret in this day and age. I guess that's one

98
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: thing he had in common with my father. Even though

99
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: my father had no public identity at all. Like me,

100
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: Max's father was mostly absent from his life it's one

101
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: thing we have in common. Yet you know, they told

102
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: us to see the world very differently. My father taught

103
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: me to track patterns and be an observer, Trust no one,

104
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: and never take your eyes off the hands, because everything

105
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: in if it's a con and everyone is always on

106
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the take. Max's father taught him to repress the past,

107
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: live only for the future, and that nothing else matters.

108
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: So we came from very different backgrounds. Max and I

109
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: we had did nothing common for me to be able

110
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: to earn his trust. He took a shine to me

111
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: because I made myself the protegee that he wanted, brilliant

112
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: and wounded someone like himself. I keep thinking about the

113
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: first time I saw it the other side of Max Fuller.

114
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: It was almost midnight on December, the night he disappeared.

115
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: The entire team was working over time preparing for TES,

116
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: the International Consumer Electronic Show. This was to be the

117
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: proving ground for Next Corps New Mind apps. When I

118
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: leaned into Max's office, I heard him talking to someone.

119
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: It was he, but when I opened the door, I

120
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: would not just stand me. There was no one else

121
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: in the room. Jack, No, No, it's fine. I was

122
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: actually just having a drink just Max, Would you like one?

123
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: I think so. I want to let you know that

124
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: across the table. But to see yes, innovation awards off

125
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: the yaquina. Oh that's excellent. Is there anything else for tonight?

126
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: I have a seen Jack? Please, I insist? Okay, sure,

127
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: how's your mother? Jack? I'm sorry forgiving me. You don't

128
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: have to answer that. I know it's personal. It's just

129
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: that I was thinking about her, About my mother. Yeah, yes,

130
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: it's not lost to me what you must be going through.

131
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: She isn't verbal anymore. It's really hard when they get

132
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: to that point. There you go. Thanks. You know I

133
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: still call her, you know, doctors save my voice calmed her?

134
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Which is you know? You know that that that makes sense.

135
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Your mother is one of the last humans on earth

136
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: of the primal brain. You and I we grew up

137
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: with smartphones. Because of that, our brains are wired completely differently.

138
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: The massive amount of screen time is forced completely different

139
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: neural connections. For us. Our ability to recognize faces and

140
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: voices is nowhere near to that of our parents. You know,

141
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: my biggest regret not spending more time with her, If

142
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: that's sure? I mean, do any of us ever really

143
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: have enough? Time with the people we love. But no,

144
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: she always had the best advice. Yeah, any girl outdated.

145
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: My mother always knew exactly how long it would last.

146
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: When I listened to my mother, my life was better.

147
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: She was wise. Now all that wisdom has gone. It's

148
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: just con Are you the only one taking care of her? Yeah?

149
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Just me now, all alone with her here now. Yeah.

150
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: I had had a brother, but he's gone. Huh. I

151
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: thought you said you didn't have any siblings. He was

152
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: a he was a soldier, a soldier. Huh. I'm sorry.

153
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: I didn't know we had so much in common. M

154
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: my apologies. I really don't mean to be invasive. I've

155
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: been told I lack a certain social etiquette. It's difficult

156
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: for me to decipher what's appropriate when it comes to

157
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: personal matters. So you're so, what about your brother? What

158
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: about him? You still miss him? Ah Um, I'm sorry, maxxive,

159
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm being too forward. No, no, no, no, you're not.

160
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: It's okay, okay. And that's when it happened. My father

161
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: used to call it the shift. The moment of sucker

162
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: makes the choice to trust you. For most people, to

163
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: shift happens right away. Well, that's if the coin is good.

164
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. Max Filler what no Stocker. I've

165
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: been working on shifting him for months. They just kept

166
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: studying me like a fucking spider. I never broke them.

167
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: And then it happened, right then Max's gaze transformed. He

168
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: went from observing me too m to trust in me. No,

169
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't miss him. It's not like that. What should like.

170
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: It's been over thirty years now, and there's still an

171
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: ache sometimes a little tightening in the chest, you know,

172
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: But like anything, it's just sort of fulled up into

173
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: the rest of your life eventually. I guess you, of

174
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: all people would know that, all right, Jack, Oh, they

175
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: live on inside us, in our thoughts and our dreams.

176
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What I mean is our thoughts

177
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: are shaped differently for having known them, and these thoughts

178
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: take form in our actions, and our actions eventually become

179
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: cemented into habits. So we look at ourselves in the mirror.

180
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: You can see our brothers just reflected back. That was cheesy. Sorry,

181
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: it's poetic, actually, no, or maybe you know, maybe it's

182
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: more like what am I trying to say? We're haunted

183
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: by them. Trauma is the Achilles heel. It can be

184
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: our saving grace, but it can also be our downfall.

185
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: It's a design flaw design for him. He was my

186
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: father's favorite, you know, my brother Benjamin, his favorite son.

187
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: That my father would have never said that. I'm sure

188
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. I think he loved Ben's brashness.

189
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, kid was the first out of the womb.

190
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: He's the first to walk. Like I said, he was

191
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: a lot more like my mom. And when he died,

192
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: it was as if he took the last of her

193
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: with him. And so Dad threw himself into work full force.

194
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: He took all of the energy he would have taken

195
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: into raising us and plowed into the future without me.

196
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: What do you do? What did I do? I went

197
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: to boarding schools. What I did when when I came

198
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: home from school. I didn't notice a change in him

199
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: because he was always sort of distant with me. He

200
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: didn't notice a change in himself because he was too

201
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: focused on the work and too vain to admit to

202
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: himself that he was slipping. It was his assistant, Marie

203
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: who finally came to me. They could have stopped it,

204
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: but he was already so diminished. It was too late

205
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: for any of his drugs to really save him, and

206
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: they hadn't figured out yet how to reverse it. Marie

207
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: had been too afraid to say anything. God, what I'm

208
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: getting at is there's a danger in surrounding yourself with

209
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: people who regard you too highly. Jack Hm, that's why

210
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: you were here. That wasn't why I was Damn. That

211
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: was three months into my time at Next Corporate, and

212
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: I'd spent most of that time when I was in

213
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: photo of Max around as a perfect persige, digging into

214
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: his company's secrets, trying to take him down. And I

215
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: hadn't made much progress to that end until that night.

216
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Something happened that changed everything. I needed to find Next

217
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Corps Achilles Hill. I need to find Abbie Reynolds. And

218
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: now it was the night I finally cool a break.

219
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: I needed to find Abbie Reynolds. And that was the

220
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: night I finally cool a break. I have this video

221
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: of my father of his final hours. Sometimes I watch

222
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: it to remind myself. It was the only time my

223
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: father told me that he was proud of me. It

224
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: was like a fleeting moment of clarity. Any time, I'll

225
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: be right back. He was going for a few minutes,

226
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: Can I hurt it? Another voice? Just like before, But

227
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: there was someone else in the barthroom with Max. So

228
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: I stood up and slowly approached the barroom door so

229
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: they could cast some v in my hidden mic. What

230
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: the hell? Who is that? No? H? I slipped back

231
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: into my seat. And when he came out, and it's

232
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to explain. When he came back from

233
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: the bar froom, something was different. He stood there studying me, smiling.

234
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: Now he had shifted to something new, something dark, His

235
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: eyes intense. He seemed almost wild. He had on the

236
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: gone to some kind of transformation. Is everything okay with you?

237
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: I want you to see it? Wa just wait, wait

238

00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: Fran Scene said you're being difficult. What what did you say?

00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: She said that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

256
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: excuse me. I'm not being difficult. I'm not. That bitch

257
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: keeps coming into my goddamn house, into my room. She

258
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: comes out, and she tells me what I can do.

259
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: It's my goddamn she know, she just cannot tell me

260
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: what to do with my goddamn dad. Calm down, don't

265
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: Just h I I've been I've been a little modeled lately.

266
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: It's I think it's the work. It's just been too much.

267
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: I get it. It's it's look at you. Look at you.

268
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: You are a good boy. You have always been special,

269
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: and I am so sorry that I have never really

270
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: said it. But it's true. I have always known that

271
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: you would do great things. As much as much as

272
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: I have hopefully accomplished, as hard as I've worked, and

273
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: as as far as I may have raised the bar,

274
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: I have got nothing on you, son. I've got nothing

275
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: on you. You are going to change the world in

276
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: ways I can't even imagine. Do you hear me? Yeah,

277
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: it's true. Thank you so much, Dad, thank you, thank you.

278
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: It's true. Benjamin, what did you call me? Jesus? It's recent, Benny?

279
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: Would you turn up the thermostat said? Then he too

280
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: is where I like it. I don't know why she

281
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: likes it so God damn Colt. He was so far

282
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: gone that he didn't know who's talking to The one

283
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: time he expressed pride in his son, Max, and I

284
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: thought it was a lucid moment. I believe, deep down,

285
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: despite the years of guilt I felt from my part

286
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: of my brother's death and my fear that my father

287
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: despised me for killing his favorite son, that maybe he

288
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: was actually accepting of me, proud of me. He thought

289
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: I was Benjamin still alive, because because that was my

290
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: father's fantasy after all, his secret wish that my brother

291
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: ben had lived and that I had been the one

292
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: who died that day in the ice. It was never

293
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: me he would be proud of. Do you know why

294
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: it is that we do what we do so that

295
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: people do not to suffer? No, this video goes on.

296
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: I won't trouble you further with it, but in ten

297
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: minutes he ships himself in fift as I'm trying to

298
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: clean the ship off the legs and ass of a

299
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: nobel laureate, the single strongest man I've ever known, whose

300
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: work changed the entire course of modern medicine as we

301
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: know it. Do you know what he does? He starts

302
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: to pray our father, who weren't in heaven out of nowhere.

303
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: This lifelong committed atheist who felt nothing but sustained towards religion,

304
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: who called it a weakness, railed against the political system

324
00:25:43,280 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: a while. The next morning he would disappear. M the

325
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: boy hears his father's voice. It's echoing from across the

326
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: snow covered hill buff lake, carried by the wind. Who

327
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: knows how long it had taken his father to register

328
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: his children's absence. When did it occur to the father

329
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: that he had not encountered his children since early that morning?

330
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: And the father's voice draws nearer, It's winded and filled

331
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: with terror, It calls out. The boy strains to turn

332
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: his head, and he could see his father stumbling towards

333
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: him in the snow. He'd been discovered at last, and

334
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: soon he surely would be rescued. Soon he would be

335
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: safe and warm in his father's strong arms, and his

336
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: father would hold him tighter than he had since he'd

337
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: been born, And the boy would look into his father's

338
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: weeping eyes, and he would see his father remembering, remembering

339
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: how precious the boy was to him, how deeply he

340
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: loved the boy. And that is the last thought the

341
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: boy has before before the ice break, before he slips

342

Speaker 1: beneath the surface of the frozen leg and comes face

343
