1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Monsters as a production of My Heart Radio, Flynn

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. It made

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: as Michael Corb right, Michael Coleman, Yeah, yeah, how do

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: you want to pay? The one has been already transferred

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: the money to the city or to open count of

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: shares to the Sheriff's office on now, Yeah, you can

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: wait outside. They're bringing him down now. That's when it

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: all started. Michael had been arrested a few times before,

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: usually just for public drunkenness. The corps always went soft

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: on Michael because it was a fair it's of the country,

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: it's time. It was worse. He was charged with gross

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: negligence and discharging a firearm in public. Luckily came to

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: his senses and dropped the gun before the corps took

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: him out. I felt helpless and I felt exhausted. The

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: feeding that time was running now and the next school

16
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: would be from from the Morgue. I couldn't bail him

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: out anymore. Something got to change. He stepped out of

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: the cinder block jail house and looked around sheepishly. I

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: couldn't stand the siph him. Michael over it now, fuck

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: me let's say, man, I'd never get out of here.

21
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: You know, this guy kept telling me. Why couldn't look? Look.

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: This guy walks into a bar right orders to drinks

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: Michael decision. So the boston says, why the two beers?

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Am I right? The guy says, I've got a brother

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: that's stationed in Damascus, and each night we ordered two

26
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: drinks so that we can still drink together. About me,

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: it's a joke, bro, I promise you you love it.

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: Just I don't want to hear each night to drinks

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: one for him, went for his brother until not right now.

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Until one night the guy walks in and he only

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: orders one beer, all right. So the bartender gets quiet

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: and he says, oh, man, bro, I'm sorry, I feel lost.

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Drinks from the house. So the guy says, no, no, no,

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: my my brother's fine. I just quit drinking. That's fine, okay, No,

35
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: no, no no, I've got one. I've got one. I've got one.

36
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Guy gets a call from his brother if he's locked

37
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: up in jail and his brother has to borrow twenty

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: five k to baby's ass out at three in the morning.

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: Are you silent now? Yeah, it's not funny. It's not

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: a joke man, Okay, Mine, all right, all right, I

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: messed up. I was just you know, I was just

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: were you doing? I was just killing rats, right, I

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: was just killing rats, but with a gun, bro, I

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: wasn't hurting anybody, all right. I used to do it

45
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: all the time in the desert, talking practice on the rest. Okay, Man,

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: I know what stupid with God? Man? Sometimes I I

00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: they have doctors. You should be coming. You should go down. Man.

52
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: There's no appointments Jack, none. But we're you talking about.

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about the h They can't they can't help me.

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,120

58
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,280

59
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: buddy of mine named David. You're telling me about this,

60
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: this this thing, this this this this program. I don't

61
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: know prom so it pays like two K a week

62
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: for like six weeks. All right, free food, nice room

63
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: to some doctors. Medical evails. And they even have a

64
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: strength and and and they're specifically looking for combat trained veterans.

65
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: So like a program for treating PTSD. No, it's a

66
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: it's a clinical trial, right for some for some research

67
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: or some new drug. I don't know who drunk? Look

68
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: here next, corp FDA approved Phase two protocol designs after

69
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: a rigorous special assessment. I mean, where is this medal?

70
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't know? It could be good. Get me off

71
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: the street for a while. Look look look at this

72
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: part right here. Goal is to developing mind application using

73
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: thought ware based nano technology to regulate hormones and reverse

74
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: the effects of mental fatigue and stress related sleep deprivation. Um,

75
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: it's a controlled environment, right, Maybe help me stabilize my thoughts.

76
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: Phase two includes human trials with specific sample groups such

77
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: as patient stide it was with PTSD or suffering from

78
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: psychological and emotional damage caused by sexual soul, warm dan, crime,

79
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: and and other tumors. What what do you think? Why

80
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: are you asking me? Man? Come on, Jack, you know

81
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: this stuff right, You're you're a bio engineer, didn't you, So,

82
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: so what do you think. Look, I think it's great.

83
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: What Yeah, it's like you said that this could be good.

84
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: It's a controlled environment. This is great for you. Man.

85
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: It was a lie. I knew the next core clinical

86
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: trials were a bad idea. I knew they were going

87
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: to use Michael as a guinea pig. So under normal circumstances,

88
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I would have told Michael to stay the hell away.

89
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: I would have told him that the only thing crazy

90
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: doing target practice on rats in an Earlley Way in

91
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: downtown Oakland and broad daylight was volunteering his brain to

92
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: some Silicon Valley startup so they could load it up

93
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: with nan nights and keep him awaken. Definitely, But right

94
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: then I couldn't think of anything better for me than

95
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Michael being someone else's problem. What don't you stay at

96
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: my place tonight? I'm driving to the trial in the morning. Michael.

97
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Huh A place tonight? Michael? Yeah? Yeah, no, Um yeah, man,

98
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's cool. All right, good. Next morning I

99
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: drove Michael to the trial. Who was the last time

100
00:06:51,880 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I swear in my life? M h I'm still on

101
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: the road, still somewhere in Nebraska. Outside my window of

102
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: the American Midwest tress by continuously. The stream of energy

103
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: feels and dust at neither horizon glows with a light

104
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: spilling from distant cities. It feels like I'm frozen inside

105
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: of a massive machine clockwork in constant motion around me.

106
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Other times, it feels like my brother is here too.

107
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: You want to tell your joke, like his ghost is

108
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: along for the ride on this journey across America. I

109
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: imagine him in the back seat telling one of his

110
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: bad drugs. Her grief is like a curse. Your brain

111
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: glitches against the cognitive absence, the missing information that loved

112
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: one no longer present, and your brain compensates, fills the

113
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: void with patterns. I know these are a music nations,

114
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: but he's getting harder to dismissed him as such. When

115
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I split my time between England

116
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: and the States. I'm wanted to keep me in secondary

117
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: school back in the UK, so I lived with my

118
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: grandparents and I would visit Mom and Michael on holiday.

119
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: Michael and I had different fathers. Both of them were

120
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: mostly absent from our lives, but my father would at

121
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: least keep in touch and making appearance a few times

122
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: a year. That's not much, but it's not nothing. I see,

123
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I knew my father loved me, even if he was

124
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: ill equipped to be a full time parent or Michael's

125
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: father was different at a series of ship jobs that

126
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: he lose with an almost comical regularity. Guessing that way,

127
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: he was dependable when he lived with us for a

128
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: few years before my mother divorced him, which took far

129
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: too long. Michael was only three. After that, he would

130
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: take Michael every other weekend for a few more years,

131
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: until Michael turned six. His dad took him camping for

132
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: his birthday, and on the morning of their second day

133
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: in the woods, Michael woke up alone. In this ten

134
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: he waited for his dad to come back. Waited all

135
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: day and all night. His dad never came. Eventually, Michael

136
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: hyped back to the road, scared and alone. His dad's

137
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: car was gone. Michael never saw his father again. You know,

138
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: I think it's quite clear that Michael blamed himself. I

139
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: think he grew up thinking something was wrong with him,

140
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: that he was on lovable. Unfortunately for Michael, I was

141
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: the next best option for a male role model. But

142
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm trash I couldn't help but explay

143
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: his weaknesses. It was a lifelong time and then it

144
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: made for a dangerous relationship. You know, my mom used

145
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: to scream at me, are you trying to kill your brother?

146
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I was. This is one of the last recordings

147
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: of him. Michael, how are you feeling all right? Sleep?

148
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: All right? Man? Definitely whatever you gave me knocked me

149
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: out at these cots. They remind me of the Army

150
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: um in base camp. I learned how to turn it

151
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: all off over there, so you know, I'm going to

152
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: administer your first stances from the trial. Doesn't hurt. It's

153
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: a video of Michael getting these first throws of shines

154
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: three months later. Ready, yeah, let's do it. He was

155
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: dead Friday, March hours. Test subject oh five A Michael Corbyn.

156
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: The other person that you hear in this video is

157
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: dr Abby Reynolds. Here's exposure number one sixty two five

158
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: p r F five seconds. Yes, forward, deep breath. I

159
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: went to see you four days ago and three two

160
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: and it's January four ten am. I just arrived at

161
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: this Meryton House free clinic North for the Sea. The

162
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: interress was on the envelope. Max gave me the one

163
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: that he instructed me to deliver to dr Abby Reynolds

164
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: when they had a check inside for two hundred thousand

165
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: less made after her. Maybe I can get some answers

166
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: out of her, and I see how this classes. Yeah,

167
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a dr Abby raynams Regni. He was personal,

168
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: have a seat, I'll I don't know. I took a

169
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: seat and crowded way around the room was packed mothers

170
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: with six children, and people sniffling and bleeding. And afterwardmit

171
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: through the way, my head was pounding. I feel around.

172
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: I tried to focus on the window, the world outside,

173
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: and that's the first time I saw it, the gray

174
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: van and all the gas powered forward tinted windows. Maybe

175
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: he used to be blue or green, but he's got

176
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: of pain and faded to a dull grade. This van

177
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: keeps circling the parking lot outside the clinic. It slowed

178
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: down each time it passed by. That's how I knew

179
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: that my grain was coming next. I've suffered severe migraines

180
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: since I was a boy. That the triggers are all different,

181
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: lack of sleep, poor diet, staring at the screen for

182
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: too long because I and I saw multiple doctors but

183
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: none of them had any clue, and I realized that

184
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: if I wanted to find out what what's wrong with

185
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: my head, I would have to diagnose myself. I had

186
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: my own brain. That's what led me to buy an

187
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: engineering and neuroscience. Eventually I discovered there were others like

188
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: me that I have a rare neurological syndrome that causes hallucinations,

189
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: sense redistortion, and panic attacks. Every time it's different except

190
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: for one symptom. I call it the replay. And when

191
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: this replay happens, I experienced repeating patterns. It's not deja

192
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: It's more like a fever dream, like I'm stuck in

193
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: a loop, suspended in the moment of time. Perhaps I

194
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: see a dog almost getting run over by the same

195
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: all three times in a row, while distinctly recall finding

196
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: my lost keys in the launch room right before I

197
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: find my lost keys in the launitary room. In this case,

198
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: it was a great van that just kept passing by

199
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: outside of the window next to where I we're seeing.

200
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Can I help you, Dr Reynolds? Yes? If Dr Reynolds

201
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: had my braceh accent, if she knew who I really was,

202
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: there's no way in hell she'd ever taught to me,

203
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: you work for Max Fuller, correct, So I had to

204
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: convince her that I was someone else, not anymore. Some

205
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: moving more Three were you're still receiving payments from X corp?

206
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: Or is that hush money? Who are you? We're investigating

207
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: the next corps of the code of Conduct? And for

208
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: other safety concerns. What concerns the human trials, Dr Reynolds,

209
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: specifically the you to deeper instants, lack of post trial

210
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: therapies awards those were offered to the subjects. Look, I

211
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: need to see some I need to see some ideas

212
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: reporting the admission of critical data from the previous round

213
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: animal testing PRESUMA will be so that Max Floyd could

214
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: green light human trials in the first place. And that

215
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: would be where you come in, Dr Reynolds. I need

216
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: to see credentials. Martin Bowman h A. I work with

217
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Nick Batty and we know about the rats. Dr Reynolds.

218
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: People are always more compliant in person. It's also useful

219
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: to draw for real names. Martin Bowman and Nick Bay

220
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: were real. Bey was the head of the h e A,

221
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: the Human Enhancement Administration. I had that these undivided attention.

222
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: I a lie to do was offer her a way out.

223
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Dr Reynolds. This doesn't have to get ugly now. You

224
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: wanted to do the right thing. We know that. But

225
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: I definitely need your compliance if and to continue with

226
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: you in good faith, and we need you to help

227
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: piece some things together, put an end to all this

228
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: before anyone else gets hurt. Give me an hour, my

229
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: lunch break. There's a diner a mile up the road.

230
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: We can talk there. M h okay. January four, dr

231
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Abbey Reynolds has agreed to meet me at this dinner

232
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: down the street from the clinic where she works. She's

233
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes late. And that's weird. Fan pass the

234
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: same gray fan with the tending wind a sweet it's

235
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: the same one I saw it. Okay, I think I'm

236
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: being followed. I know I'm being paranoiable. Why wouldn't that be?

237
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: And here constant time, your knowledge, good timing. I was

238
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: about to leave a nice place. Can I get you anything?

239
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: This golfee? You should try the strawberry rubar pie. It's great. No, no,

240
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: thank you? Okay, what specifically do you want to know? Well,

241
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: we need to know what happened with the shut eye

242
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: product between the animal testing and the human trials. It

243
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: it had been the most promising advance any of us

244
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: had seen up to that point. After a shitty a

245
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: few months, we couldn't find the right mix to make

246
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: it do what we needed it to do, and what

247
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: did you need it to do? Work? We needed for

248
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: shut Eye to keep its subjects awake and alert without

249
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: any notable effects. The first couple of rounds of trials nothing,

250
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean nothing except a bunch of lab rats with

251
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: heart palpitations. Finn and Max were beside themselves. We argued

252
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: about whether even bother with a fourth trial, but Finn

253
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: insisted calmly yes, he's next corpse lead engineer. And it worked.

254
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Max and Finn made an upgrade to the nanite sequencing,

255
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: and it worked like a charm at first. What happened

256
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: next it was disturbing. I'm listening. The rats became agitated.

257
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: They began repeating these odd behavior patterns, some running in circles,

258
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: others moving incessantly from one side of the cage to

259
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: the other. Some nod at the cage lining until their

260
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: teeth broke. Then one of the rats, the one we

261
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: called Algernon, he was the alpha. He just sat there,

262
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: staring into space for hours until he snapped. Snapped. I

263
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: came in that morning and realized some of the animals

264
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: had showed their own paws and tails off blood everywhere,

265
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: and then Algernon. He was still sitting there, motionless, staring

266
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: at his own reflection, and I opened the blinds. As

267
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: soon as the daylight hit the cage. Algernon started charging

268
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: the glass, slamming his head into it, repeatedly attacking his

269
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: own reflection. Everything a rooted quickly after that. They began

270
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: attacking each other. IM terminated this rounder testing eating each other.

271
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: This is alive. I've never seen anything like this. That

272
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: was at two forty hours without sleep. Oh my god.

273
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: We euthanized them, discarded the remains, and then we had

274
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: the meeting. Finn was pretty horrified too, but it wasn't

275
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: as concerned about the broader implications. He thought that there

276
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: was enough there to continue on, maybe tweak the product

277
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: and begin new trials by new rats. I think he

278
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: was under extreme pressure. I think Max and Finn had

279
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: been funneling their own money into this phase and they

280
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: were underwater, so Finn was optimistic by default. Maybe move

281
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: on to chimpanzee. Something closer to humans anatomically. He said,

282
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: what about Dr Berkley, What does she have to say

283
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: about all this cass She agreed that we needed a

284
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: more complex subject, something about a cognitive line that rodents

285
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: couldn't cross, but that humans could. So sleep disruption caused

286
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: different issues and rodents than it did in humans. Everyone

287
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: had their theories. I was against it, I told them so.

288
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: I told them it was cruel. What about Max? I

289
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: think I actually had Finn seeing my point of view

290
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: before Max stepped in and he convinced a team to

291
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: do another trial. Yes, he said that he thought we

292
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: were ready for chimps, humans humans after what happened with

293
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: the rats. He said that we would hedge our bets,

294
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: play it safe, that that we wouldn't go anywhere near

295
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: the threshold that we'd taken the rats. Three hours was

296
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: too much. We all knew it was. We had made

297
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: a breakthrough. It was so big, and after we'd worked

298
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: so hard hard, we were so close. But there was

299
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: something else going on with Max. What he was different?

300
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: His face, his voice, What do you mean like I

301
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: said of him? You've never seen No, No, it was physical, primal.

302
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: His pupils were dilated his His eyes were like black holes.

303
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: The way he looked at me, he had this almost

304
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: a smile, a hideous kind of smile on his face.

305
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: It wasn't Max, I'm not following. Why did he do something?

306
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: But I was scared you know what he might do? Okay,
