WEBVTT - 3. The Shift

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow's Monsters as a production of My Heart Radio. Flynn

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. Welcome to

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Fast Troup, America's as fastest reach charge station. You have

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>made right, right choice with Fast Troup. January seven, Keystone, Nebraska,

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>almost midnight. I had to stop and recharge the car,

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think I was gonna make it. I've been

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>on the road for over twenty four hours now, about

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty hours still to go before I reached Arlington unless

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>they catch me first. The night after my first day

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and next Corpus Max Fullest personal assistant, I tracked down

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>David Truesdale, one of the participants of the first phase

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>of human Trials, and didn't go well. Have you had

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>any more contact with the next quarter You've spoken to

0:00:55.560 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Max Fuller since? Yeah? Just Benjamin's Benjamin, Mr Truch. Looking back,

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>that's when all the trouble started. I didn't know who

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>was on to me at the time when I started digging,

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:26.559
<v Speaker 1>so he didn't go unnoticed. Dr Abby Reynolds had tipped

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>me off to Truesdale's whereabouts. She was next Corps physician.

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Her job was to monitor and track the test subjects

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>during the shot I research similar behaviors, pacing, digging at

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the bottoms of their cages, and attacking each other. I

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>am terminating this roundup test. The fact that she oversaw

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 1>faced one of the human trials despite something going horribly

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong with the previous animal tests, and she must have

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>been instrumental in covering up. The only thing I knew

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>for sure is that she would crack. She wasn't a

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>crypto hold onto a sea Christ much longer. Her moral

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>compass wouldn't allow it. She was too good. I could

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>said a lot about person that way, and if anyone

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>could break her, it was me. I just needed to

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>find her. Let me gome a fast track already. Never today, okay, okay,

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>just hurry up. M oh damn, please let your charge? Christ?

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>What is this kind of one? She's gonna stand there?

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Stay on board? Can I help here? May decided for

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>electric You know the gas pumps are on the other side.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Recharge complete, Jack, Let's go on, let's considering your side.

0:02:54.960 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's go. Let's go resuming, Chris. Who was that

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>stark out here? I can see the dull glow of

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>some metropolis off in the distance. Highways are for getting

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>from A to B and back rows of what happens

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in between. My father told me that once it was bullshit.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course, my father was capable of a massive amount

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of bullshit. The truth is he was avoiding major highways

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>because he was on the run and there are less

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>facial recognition cameras on the back roads. My father, when

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>he passed away, he had nothing, no heirlooms, no family possessions.

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>He came from nothing and to nothing he returned. He

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>died alone with twenty five K in a sock drawer

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>my inheritance. That and the pile of video tapes filled

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>with footage of me as a boy. You think that's

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>what because I know that you thought I was going

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to give your other hand. I switched it because he

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>thought I was going to do that trick every time.

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Always watched the hun on. Man. If there's only one

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>thing you learned from your papa, it's how to read

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>people and to always watch the hunt abby, always watch

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the hands of None of these have ever been digitized

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>by his old penis on the camera still worked. My

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>father didn't believe in digital No social media profiles, no

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>online accounts, no digital footprint at all, which seems impossible

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>these days. Ship it's almost magic. Him being or nobody

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>to him meant that he could be anybody, anyone he

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>needed to be, depending on the circumstances. That's what it

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>takes to be a professional. Comment. When I was ten,

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>he decided that it was time for me to learn

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the family business, how to support a sucker and how

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to pocket their money. Whether they're noble laureates or low

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>life hustlers or fathers cast long shadows. When you were born,

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>each of you, there was a scene in you, deep down,

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:39.679
<v Speaker 1>and this was potential. This could grow into a billion

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>different things. This is doctor Walter Fuller, Max's father, from

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a commencement speech at Stanford University. More sure when he's exactly,

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>but the doctor seems to be in the fourties dust

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of silver. These temples, a man in his prime. Family

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>gave you alluring and powerful you needed to get here.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>You have found and trained a passion long enough for

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>it to get you through one of the most challenging

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>periods in your life. And what you need to do

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 1>now is to forget it all. Forget all of it,

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>everything that led you to this moment. Let it go

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 1>because it isn't real anymore. It isn't real because it

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>no longer exists. It's in the past. The only thing

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>that does exist right now is right now, this present moment,

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and this this, this is where the future begins. In

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>this moment, you are in the prime of your life

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and on the edge of a new era of human history.

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 1>From this moment, anything is possible. You are the authors

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of what happens next. You can predict the future by

0:06:54.839 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>inventing it. Mh predict the future by inventing him when

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.039
<v Speaker 1>he did. Walter Fuller's contribution to the world of medicine

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>is immeasurable. The millions saved each year as a result

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of that contribution, the noble prize he won as a

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>consequence Walter fullest work has been widely praised and documented

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in history books. But Walter fullest personal life was jealously guarded.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's astonishing that a public figure like Walter

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Fuller was able to keep details of his private life

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>secret in this day and age. I guess that's one

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>thing he had in common with my father. Even though

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>my father had no public identity at all. Like me,

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Max's father was mostly absent from his life it's one

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>thing we have in common. Yet you know, they told

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>us to see the world very differently. My father taught

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>me to track patterns and be an observer, Trust no one,

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and never take your eyes off the hands, because everything

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in if it's a con and everyone is always on

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the take. Max's father taught him to repress the past,

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>live only for the future, and that nothing else matters.

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>So we came from very different backgrounds. Max and I

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>we had did nothing common for me to be able

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>to earn his trust. He took a shine to me

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>because I made myself the protegee that he wanted, brilliant

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and wounded someone like himself. I keep thinking about the

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>first time I saw it the other side of Max Fuller.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>It was almost midnight on December, the night he disappeared.

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>The entire team was working over time preparing for TES,

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the International Consumer Electronic Show. This was to be the

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>proving ground for Next Corps New Mind apps. When I

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>leaned into Max's office, I heard him talking to someone.

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 1>It was he, but when I opened the door, I

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>would not just stand me. There was no one else

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>in the room. Jack, No, No, it's fine. I was

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>actually just having a drink just Max, Would you like one?

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.199
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I want to let you know that

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>across the table. But to see yes, innovation awards off

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the yaquina. Oh that's excellent. Is there anything else for tonight?

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a seen Jack? Please, I insist? Okay, sure,

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>how's your mother? Jack? I'm sorry forgiving me. You don't

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>have to answer that. I know it's personal. It's just

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that I was thinking about her, About my mother. Yeah, yes,

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not lost to me what you must be going through.

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>She isn't verbal anymore. It's really hard when they get

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 1>to that point. There you go. Thanks. You know I

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>still call her, you know, doctors save my voice calmed her?

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Which is you know? You know that that that makes sense.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Your mother is one of the last humans on earth

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>of the primal brain. You and I we grew up

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>with smartphones. Because of that, our brains are wired completely differently.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>The massive amount of screen time is forced completely different

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>neural connections. For us. Our ability to recognize faces and

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>voices is nowhere near to that of our parents. You know,

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>my biggest regret not spending more time with her, If

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>that's sure? I mean, do any of us ever really

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>have enough? Time with the people we love. But no,

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>she always had the best advice. Yeah, any girl outdated.

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>My mother always knew exactly how long it would last.

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>When I listened to my mother, my life was better.

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 1>She was wise. Now all that wisdom has gone. It's

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>just con Are you the only one taking care of her? Yeah?

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Just me now, all alone with her here now. Yeah.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I had had a brother, but he's gone. Huh. I

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>thought you said you didn't have any siblings. He was

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a he was a soldier, a soldier. Huh. I'm sorry.

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.079
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know we had so much in common. M

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>my apologies. I really don't mean to be invasive. I've

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 1>been told I lack a certain social etiquette. It's difficult

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>for me to decipher what's appropriate when it comes to

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>personal matters. So you're so, what about your brother? What

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>about him? You still miss him? Ah Um, I'm sorry, maxxive,

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm being too forward. No, no, no, no, you're not.

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, okay. And that's when it happened. My father

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 1>used to call it the shift. The moment of sucker

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 1>makes the choice to trust you. For most people, to

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>shift happens right away. Well, that's if the coin is good.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be honest. Max Filler what no Stocker. I've

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>been working on shifting him for months. They just kept

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>studying me like a fucking spider. I never broke them.

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>And then it happened, right then Max's gaze transformed. He

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>went from observing me too m to trust in me. No,

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't miss him. It's not like that. What should like.

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>It's been over thirty years now, and there's still an

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>ache sometimes a little tightening in the chest, you know,

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But like anything, it's just sort of fulled up into

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life eventually. I guess you, of

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>all people would know that, all right, Jack, Oh, they

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>live on inside us, in our thoughts and our dreams.

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? What I mean is our thoughts

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 1>are shaped differently for having known them, and these thoughts

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>take form in our actions, and our actions eventually become

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>cemented into habits. So we look at ourselves in the mirror.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>You can see our brothers just reflected back. That was cheesy. Sorry,

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it's poetic, actually, no, or maybe you know, maybe it's

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>more like what am I trying to say? We're haunted

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>by them. Trauma is the Achilles heel. It can be

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>our saving grace, but it can also be our downfall.

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a design flaw design for him. He was my

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>father's favorite, you know, my brother Benjamin, his favorite son.

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>That my father would have never said that. I'm sure

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't the case. I think he loved Ben's brashness.

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, kid was the first out of the womb.

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>He's the first to walk. Like I said, he was

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot more like my mom. And when he died,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it was as if he took the last of her

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>with him. And so Dad threw himself into work full force.

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>He took all of the energy he would have taken

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>into raising us and plowed into the future without me.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? What did I do? I went

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to boarding schools. What I did when when I came

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>home from school. I didn't notice a change in him

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>because he was always sort of distant with me. He

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't notice a change in himself because he was too

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>focused on the work and too vain to admit to

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>himself that he was slipping. It was his assistant, Marie

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 1>who finally came to me. They could have stopped it,

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 1>but he was already so diminished. It was too late

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>for any of his drugs to really save him, and

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they hadn't figured out yet how to reverse it. Marie

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>had been too afraid to say anything. God, what I'm

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>getting at is there's a danger in surrounding yourself with

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>people who regard you too highly. Jack Hm, that's why

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you were here. That wasn't why I was Damn. That

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>was three months into my time at Next Corporate, and

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd spent most of that time when I was in

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>photo of Max around as a perfect persige, digging into

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>his company's secrets, trying to take him down. And I

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>hadn't made much progress to that end until that night.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Something happened that changed everything. I needed to find Next

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Corps Achilles Hill. I need to find Abbie Reynolds. And

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>now it was the night I finally cool a break.

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I needed to find Abbie Reynolds. And that was the

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 1>night I finally cool a break. I have this video

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>of my father of his final hours. Sometimes I watch

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it to remind myself. It was the only time my

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>father told me that he was proud of me. It

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was like a fleeting moment of clarity. Any time, I'll

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>be right back. He was going for a few minutes,

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Can I hurt it? Another voice? Just like before, But

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>there was someone else in the barthroom with Max. So

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I stood up and slowly approached the barroom door so

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>they could cast some v in my hidden mic. What

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the hell? Who is that? No? H? I slipped back

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>into my seat. And when he came out, and it's

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be hard to explain. When he came back from

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the bar froom, something was different. He stood there studying me, smiling.

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Now he had shifted to something new, something dark, His

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>eyes intense. He seemed almost wild. He had on the

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>gone to some kind of transformation. Is everything okay with you?

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I want you to see it? Wa just wait, wait

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:30.800

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>keeps coming into my goddamn house, into my room. She

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 1>comes out, and she tells me what I can do.

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It's my goddamn she know, she just cannot tell me

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.760

<v Speaker 1>it's no, don't apologize. I'm I'm sorry to It's okay.

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Just h I I've been I've been a little modeled lately.

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.920
<v Speaker 1>It's I think it's the work. It's just been too much.

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I get it. It's it's look at you. Look at you.

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>You are a good boy. You have always been special,

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and I am so sorry that I have never really

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>said it. But it's true. I have always known that

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you would do great things. As much as much as

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I have hopefully accomplished, as hard as I've worked, and

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 1>as as far as I may have raised the bar,

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I have got nothing on you, son. I've got nothing

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.479
<v Speaker 1>on you. You are going to change the world in

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>ways I can't even imagine. Do you hear me? Yeah,

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's true. Thank you so much, Dad, thank you, thank you.

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>It's true. Benjamin, what did you call me? Jesus? It's recent, Benny?

0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Would you turn up the thermostat said? Then he too

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>is where I like it. I don't know why she

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>likes it so God damn Colt. He was so far

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>gone that he didn't know who's talking to The one

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 1>time he expressed pride in his son, Max, and I

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:26.720
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a lucid moment. I believe, deep down,

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 1>despite the years of guilt I felt from my part

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>of my brother's death and my fear that my father

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>despised me for killing his favorite son, that maybe he

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>was actually accepting of me, proud of me. He thought

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:53.119
<v Speaker 1>I was Benjamin still alive, because because that was my

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 1>father's fantasy after all, his secret wish that my brother

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>ben had lived and that I had been the one

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 1>who died that day in the ice. It was never

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>me he would be proud of. Do you know why

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it is that we do what we do so that

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>people do not to suffer? No, this video goes on.

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I won't trouble you further with it, but in ten

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>minutes he ships himself in fift as I'm trying to

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 1>clean the ship off the legs and ass of a

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>nobel laureate, the single strongest man I've ever known, whose

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>work changed the entire course of modern medicine as we

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 1>know it. Do you know what he does? He starts

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>to pray our father, who weren't in heaven out of nowhere.

0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>This lifelong committed atheist who felt nothing but sustained towards religion,

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>who called it a weakness, railed against the political system

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:08.359
<v Speaker 1>that prompted up this fucking titan who beat it into

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>my damn skull that we don't beg for help from

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the great, almighty, invisible thing called God. Have the goal.

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>While I was wiping his frankles to he was sick.

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:25.479
<v Speaker 1>He was sick, and he was confused. And that, my

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>little friend, is why we do what we do to help. Yeah, sure, sure,

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we want to help to help. That sounds noble, Yeah good,

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>We are very noble people. But there is nothing, nothing

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>more disgusting in this world, more hateful and insidious than frailty.

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>And I can smell it. I can smell it, just

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 1>like I can smell it on my father, on my

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 1>pathetic muling, praying father. And Jack, you want to know

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>what it smell? It is like, it smells like shit.

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 1>We don't do what we do simply because we love humanity.

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>It's because we detest the weakness in them. I can

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 1>trust you, right, Jack, That's why you're here to earn

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 1>my trust, of course. Yeah. And he's delivered this for me.

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Why'd you He gave me an umvelove addressed to Abby Reynolds.

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>That was the last night any of us alms for

0:25:43.280 --> 0:26:00.919
<v Speaker 1>a while. The next morning he would disappear. M the

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:05.679
<v Speaker 1>boy hears his father's voice. It's echoing from across the

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:13.880
<v Speaker 1>snow covered hill buff lake, carried by the wind. Who

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>knows how long it had taken his father to register

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:22.639
<v Speaker 1>his children's absence. When did it occur to the father

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that he had not encountered his children since early that morning?

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>And the father's voice draws nearer, It's winded and filled

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 1>with terror, It calls out. The boy strains to turn

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 1>his head, and he could see his father stumbling towards

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 1>him in the snow. He'd been discovered at last, and

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>soon he surely would be rescued. Soon he would be

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 1>safe and warm in his father's strong arms, and his

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>father would hold him tighter than he had since he'd

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 1>been born, And the boy would look into his father's

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:23.640
