WEBVTT - 4. The Replay

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 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. It made

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>as Michael Corb right, Michael Coleman, Yeah, yeah, how do

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 1>you want to pay? The one has been already transferred

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the money to the city or to open count of

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>shares to the Sheriff's office on now, Yeah, you can

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>wait outside. They're bringing him down now. That's when it

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>all started. Michael had been arrested a few times before,

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>usually just for public drunkenness. The corps always went soft

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>on Michael because it was a fair it's of the country,

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it's time. It was worse. He was charged with gross

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>negligence and discharging a firearm in public. Luckily came to

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>his senses and dropped the gun before the corps took

0:00:54.920 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>him out. I felt helpless and I felt exhausted. The

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>feeding that time was running now and the next school

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>would be from from the Morgue. I couldn't bail him

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>out anymore. Something got to change. He stepped out of

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the cinder block jail house and looked around sheepishly. I

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>couldn't stand the siph him. Michael over it now, fuck

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>me let's say, man, I'd never get out of here.

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, this guy kept telling me. Why couldn't look? Look.

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>This guy walks into a bar right orders to drinks

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Michael decision. So the boston says, why the two beers?

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Am I right? The guy says, I've got a brother

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that's stationed in Damascus, and each night we ordered two

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>drinks so that we can still drink together. About me,

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a joke, bro, I promise you you love it.

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Just I don't want to hear each night to drinks

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>one for him, went for his brother until not right now.

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Until one night the guy walks in and he only

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>orders one beer, all right. So the bartender gets quiet

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and he says, oh, man, bro, I'm sorry, I feel lost.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Drinks from the house. So the guy says, no, no, no,

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>my my brother's fine. I just quit drinking. That's fine, okay, No,

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>no, no no, I've got one. I've got one. I've got one.

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Guy gets a call from his brother if he's locked

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>up in jail and his brother has to borrow twenty

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>five k to baby's ass out at three in the morning.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you silent now? Yeah, it's not funny. It's not

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a joke man, Okay, Mine, all right, all right, I

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>messed up. I was just you know, I was just

<v Speaker 1>were you doing? I was just killing rats, right, I

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>was just killing rats, but with a gun, bro, I

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't hurting anybody, all right. I used to do it

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>all the time in the desert, talking practice on the rest. Okay, Man,

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I know what stupid with God? Man? Sometimes I I

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>can't do ship it here? Man? Are you still going

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to those v amiens? Jack? Come on, man, that place

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>is juiceless? Michael, Michael, what are you talking about? What?

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.480

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>they have doctors. You should be coming. You should go down. Man.

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>There's no appointments Jack, none. But we're you talking about.

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the h They can't they can't help me.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>back home for a while. Look, I was I was thinking,

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, just hear me out, man, just just hear

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>me out. All right. This is this guy I know,

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>buddy of mine named David. You're telling me about this,

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this this thing, this this this this program. I don't

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>know prom so it pays like two K a week

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>for like six weeks. All right, free food, nice room

0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to some doctors. Medical evails. And they even have a

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>strength and and and they're specifically looking for combat trained veterans.

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>So like a program for treating PTSD. No, it's a

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>it's a clinical trial, right for some for some research

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>or some new drug. I don't know who drunk? Look

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>here next, corp FDA approved Phase two protocol designs after

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a rigorous special assessment. I mean, where is this medal?

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know? It could be good. Get me off

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the street for a while. Look look look at this

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>part right here. Goal is to developing mind application using

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>thought ware based nano technology to regulate hormones and reverse

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the effects of mental fatigue and stress related sleep deprivation. Um,

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>it's a controlled environment, right, Maybe help me stabilize my thoughts.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Phase two includes human trials with specific sample groups such

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>as patient stide it was with PTSD or suffering from

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>psychological and emotional damage caused by sexual soul, warm dan, crime,

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and and other tumors. What what do you think? Why

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 1>are you asking me? Man? Come on, Jack, you know

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>this stuff right, You're you're a bio engineer, didn't you, So,

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 1>so what do you think. Look, I think it's great.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>What Yeah, it's like you said that this could be good.

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a controlled environment. This is great for you. Man.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>It was a lie. I knew the next core clinical

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>trials were a bad idea. I knew they were going

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to use Michael as a guinea pig. So under normal circumstances,

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I would have told Michael to stay the hell away.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have told him that the only thing crazy

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>doing target practice on rats in an Earlley Way in

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>downtown Oakland and broad daylight was volunteering his brain to

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>some Silicon Valley startup so they could load it up

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>with nan nights and keep him awaken. Definitely, But right

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>then I couldn't think of anything better for me than

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Michael being someone else's problem. What don't you stay at

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>my place tonight? I'm driving to the trial in the morning. Michael.

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Huh A place tonight? Michael? Yeah? Yeah, no, Um yeah, man,

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that's yeah, that's cool. All right, good. Next morning I

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>drove Michael to the trial. Who was the last time

0:06:51.880 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I swear in my life? M h I'm still on

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the road, still somewhere in Nebraska. Outside my window of

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the American Midwest tress by continuously. The stream of energy

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>feels and dust at neither horizon glows with a light

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>spilling from distant cities. It feels like I'm frozen inside

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of a massive machine clockwork in constant motion around me.

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Other times, it feels like my brother is here too.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>You want to tell your joke, like his ghost is

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>along for the ride on this journey across America. I

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>imagine him in the back seat telling one of his

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>bad drugs. Her grief is like a curse. Your brain

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>glitches against the cognitive absence, the missing information that loved

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>one no longer present, and your brain compensates, fills the

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>void with patterns. I know these are a music nations,

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>but he's getting harder to dismissed him as such. When

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, I split my time between England

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and the States. I'm wanted to keep me in secondary

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>school back in the UK, so I lived with my

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>grandparents and I would visit Mom and Michael on holiday.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Michael and I had different fathers. Both of them were

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>mostly absent from our lives, but my father would at

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>least keep in touch and making appearance a few times

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>a year. That's not much, but it's not nothing. I see,

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I knew my father loved me, even if he was

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>ill equipped to be a full time parent or Michael's

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>father was different at a series of ship jobs that

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>he lose with an almost comical regularity. Guessing that way,

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.839
<v Speaker 1>he was dependable when he lived with us for a

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>few years before my mother divorced him, which took far

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>too long. Michael was only three. After that, he would

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>take Michael every other weekend for a few more years,

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>until Michael turned six. His dad took him camping for

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 1>his birthday, and on the morning of their second day

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 1>in the woods, Michael woke up alone. In this ten

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>he waited for his dad to come back. Waited all

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>day and all night. His dad never came. Eventually, Michael

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>hyped back to the road, scared and alone. His dad's

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>car was gone. Michael never saw his father again. You know,

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's quite clear that Michael blamed himself. I

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>think he grew up thinking something was wrong with him,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that he was on lovable. Unfortunately for Michael, I was

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the next best option for a male role model. But

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm trash I couldn't help but explay

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 1>his weaknesses. It was a lifelong time and then it

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>made for a dangerous relationship. You know, my mom used

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to scream at me, are you trying to kill your brother?

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I was. This is one of the last recordings

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 1>of him. Michael, how are you feeling all right? Sleep?

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>All right? Man? Definitely whatever you gave me knocked me

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>out at these cots. They remind me of the Army

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>um in base camp. I learned how to turn it

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>all off over there, so you know, I'm going to

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.719
<v Speaker 1>administer your first stances from the trial. Doesn't hurt. It's

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a video of Michael getting these first throws of shines

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>three months later. Ready, yeah, let's do it. He was

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>dead Friday, March hours. Test subject oh five A Michael Corbyn.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>The other person that you hear in this video is

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>dr Abby Reynolds. Here's exposure number one sixty two five

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>p r F five seconds. Yes, forward, deep breath. I

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>went to see you four days ago and three two

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's January four ten am. I just arrived at

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>this Meryton House free clinic North for the Sea. The

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>interress was on the envelope. Max gave me the one

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>that he instructed me to deliver to dr Abby Reynolds

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>when they had a check inside for two hundred thousand

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:05.079
<v Speaker 1>less made after her. Maybe I can get some answers

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>out of her, and I see how this classes. Yeah,

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for a dr Abby raynams Regni. He was personal,

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>have a seat, I'll I don't know. I took a

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>seat and crowded way around the room was packed mothers

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>with six children, and people sniffling and bleeding. And afterwardmit

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>through the way, my head was pounding. I feel around.

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I tried to focus on the window, the world outside,

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and that's the first time I saw it, the gray

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>van and all the gas powered forward tinted windows. Maybe

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>he used to be blue or green, but he's got

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 1>of pain and faded to a dull grade. This van

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>keeps circling the parking lot outside the clinic. It slowed

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>down each time it passed by. That's how I knew

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that my grain was coming next. I've suffered severe migraines

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 1>since I was a boy. That the triggers are all different,

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 1>lack of sleep, poor diet, staring at the screen for

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.959
<v Speaker 1>too long because I and I saw multiple doctors but

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>none of them had any clue, and I realized that

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>if I wanted to find out what what's wrong with

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>my head, I would have to diagnose myself. I had

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>my own brain. That's what led me to buy an

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>engineering and neuroscience. Eventually I discovered there were others like

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>me that I have a rare neurological syndrome that causes hallucinations,

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>sense redistortion, and panic attacks. Every time it's different except

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 1>for one symptom. I call it the replay. And when

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 1>this replay happens, I experienced repeating patterns. It's not deja

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>It's more like a fever dream, like I'm stuck in

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>a loop, suspended in the moment of time. Perhaps I

0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.839
<v Speaker 1>see a dog almost getting run over by the same

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>all three times in a row, while distinctly recall finding

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>my lost keys in the launch room right before I

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>find my lost keys in the launitary room. In this case,

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it was a great van that just kept passing by

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>outside of the window next to where I we're seeing.

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Can I help you, Dr Reynolds? Yes? If Dr Reynolds

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>had my braceh accent, if she knew who I really was,

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>there's no way in hell she'd ever taught to me,

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you work for Max Fuller, correct, So I had to

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>convince her that I was someone else, not anymore. Some

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>moving more Three were you're still receiving payments from X corp?

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Or is that hush money? Who are you? We're investigating

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the next corps of the code of Conduct? And for

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>other safety concerns. What concerns the human trials, Dr Reynolds,

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>specifically the you to deeper instants, lack of post trial

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>therapies awards those were offered to the subjects. Look, I

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>need to see some I need to see some ideas

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>reporting the admission of critical data from the previous round

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>animal testing PRESUMA will be so that Max Floyd could

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>green light human trials in the first place. And that

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>would be where you come in, Dr Reynolds. I need

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to see credentials. Martin Bowman h A. I work with

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Nick Batty and we know about the rats. Dr Reynolds.

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 1>People are always more compliant in person. It's also useful

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to draw for real names. Martin Bowman and Nick Bay

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>were real. Bey was the head of the h e A,

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the Human Enhancement Administration. I had that these undivided attention.

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I a lie to do was offer her a way out.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Dr Reynolds. This doesn't have to get ugly now. You

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do the right thing. We know that. But

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I definitely need your compliance if and to continue with

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you in good faith, and we need you to help

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>piece some things together, put an end to all this

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>before anyone else gets hurt. Give me an hour, my

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>lunch break. There's a diner a mile up the road.

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>We can talk there. M h okay. January four, dr

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Abbey Reynolds has agreed to meet me at this dinner

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>down the street from the clinic where she works. She's

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty five minutes late. And that's weird. Fan pass the

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>same gray fan with the tending wind a sweet it's

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the same one I saw it. Okay, I think I'm

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:06.919
<v Speaker 1>being followed. I know I'm being paranoiable. Why wouldn't that be?

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:12.119
<v Speaker 1>And here constant time, your knowledge, good timing. I was

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>about to leave a nice place. Can I get you anything?

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>This golfee? You should try the strawberry rubar pie. It's great. No, no,

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you? Okay, what specifically do you want to know? Well,

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>we need to know what happened with the shut eye

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>product between the animal testing and the human trials. It

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it had been the most promising advance any of us

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 1>had seen up to that point. After a shitty a

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>few months, we couldn't find the right mix to make

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it do what we needed it to do, and what

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 1>did you need it to do? Work? We needed for

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>shut Eye to keep its subjects awake and alert without

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>any notable effects. The first couple of rounds of trials nothing,

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean nothing except a bunch of lab rats with

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>heart palpitations. Finn and Max were beside themselves. We argued

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 1>about whether even bother with a fourth trial, but Finn

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:25.879
<v Speaker 1>insisted calmly yes, he's next corpse lead engineer. And it worked.

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Max and Finn made an upgrade to the nanite sequencing,

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and it worked like a charm at first. What happened

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>next it was disturbing. I'm listening. The rats became agitated.

0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 1>They began repeating these odd behavior patterns, some running in circles,

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 1>others moving incessantly from one side of the cage to

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 1>the other. Some nod at the cage lining until their

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 1>teeth broke. Then one of the rats, the one we

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 1>called Algernon, he was the alpha. He just sat there,

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 1>staring into space for hours until he snapped. Snapped. I

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.400
<v Speaker 1>came in that morning and realized some of the animals

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>had showed their own paws and tails off blood everywhere,

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 1>and then Algernon. He was still sitting there, motionless, staring

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 1>at his own reflection, and I opened the blinds. As

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>soon as the daylight hit the cage. Algernon started charging

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the glass, slamming his head into it, repeatedly attacking his

0:19:55.800 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>own reflection. Everything a rooted quickly after that. They began

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 1>attacking each other. IM terminated this rounder testing eating each other.

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>This is alive. I've never seen anything like this. That

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>was at two forty hours without sleep. Oh my god.

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>We euthanized them, discarded the remains, and then we had

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the meeting. Finn was pretty horrified too, but it wasn't

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>as concerned about the broader implications. He thought that there

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 1>was enough there to continue on, maybe tweak the product

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and begin new trials by new rats. I think he

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 1>was under extreme pressure. I think Max and Finn had

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 1>been funneling their own money into this phase and they

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>were underwater, so Finn was optimistic by default. Maybe move

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.600
<v Speaker 1>on to chimpanzee. Something closer to humans anatomically. He said,

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>what about Dr Berkley, What does she have to say

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 1>about all this cass She agreed that we needed a

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 1>more complex subject, something about a cognitive line that rodents

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 1>couldn't cross, but that humans could. So sleep disruption caused

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 1>different issues and rodents than it did in humans. Everyone

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.439
<v Speaker 1>had their theories. I was against it, I told them so.

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I told them it was cruel. What about Max? I

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>think I actually had Finn seeing my point of view

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 1>before Max stepped in and he convinced a team to

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 1>do another trial. Yes, he said that he thought we

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>were ready for chimps, humans humans after what happened with

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 1>the rats. He said that we would hedge our bets,

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 1>play it safe, that that we wouldn't go anywhere near

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the threshold that we'd taken the rats. Three hours was

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>too much. We all knew it was. We had made

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a breakthrough. It was so big, and after we'd worked

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>so hard hard, we were so close. But there was

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 1>something else going on with Max. What he was different?

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>His face, his voice, What do you mean like I

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>said of him? You've never seen No, No, it was physical, primal.

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 1>His pupils were dilated his His eyes were like black holes.

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>The way he looked at me, he had this almost

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a smile, a hideous kind of smile on his face.

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't Max, I'm not following. Why did he do something?

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>But I was scared you know what he might do? Okay,

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 1>he scares your applied him threat shirt. But that doesn't

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 1>change the fact that you went along. No, I didn't

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 1>look at human trials. No, what could happen? I made

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Finn swear that he wouldn't take things as far Finnce

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.720

<v Speaker 1>hippocratic oath. Look, if you want answers, you need to

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>talk to him, not me. Tomorrow, Jessa April night, Michael Corbin.

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.160
<v Speaker 1>These people were under your care in next corporate. Now

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 1>they are all dead. So what now? Let me settle

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 1>up and then we can discuss next steps. You know,

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>blackmail is a federal offense. Docs Reynalds, we can protect you.

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.439
<v Speaker 1>As I stepped to the register and forced myself to

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 1>take a deep breath on the number one rule the

<v Speaker 1>him read you as a confidence game with his time.

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>It was personal my brother was dead, and I almost cracked.

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Remember as I swiped the page, my handle was shaking

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>another piece of strawberry Rybard pie. The girl please, I

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.360
<v Speaker 1>made a bill and waited for the guy to put

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 1>my slice of Pierre to go box. That was it.

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.159
<v Speaker 1>They are played back this recording and timed it out.

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I was gone from the table for exactly three minutes

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 1>and thirty seven seconds. When I came back to the table,

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>she was gone. The purse was lying on his side

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 1>on the floor because metics and keys spitting out into

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the aisles. Her raincoats still there, dripped over her now

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>vacant chair. But she was gone, hard ship man. Then

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I saw it right. What the message was? Rearing a

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 1>lipstick on a white blade? What's this box? First line

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:58.720

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Dr Reynolds was trying to tell me something before she

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 1>ran off time ship Oh the vander vand Van de
