WEBVTT - Ep8 | Cradle of Despair (Part 1 of 2) 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:11.119 Introquest created by Michael Freiberg, a production of iHeartRadio and 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:28.880 Astro Media Listen with headphones for three D audio. What 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:38.879 is it? Serious? Something else in desert? Either? I hear 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.440 it too. It sounds like it might be a personnet 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.160 on the dunes. No way logo. We're the only ones 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:54.400 crazy enough to be out here on foot a serious weight? Ah, 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.880 it is a person? Hey you? What are you doing 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.679 out here? All alone? Trapped? I agree with serious. Something's 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.360 not right. We should leave immediately. You're not going to 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.360 answer me under whose orders? Huh? Or are you a 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:21.880 coward who can't speak for himself? Either? Don't get too close. 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:30.600 You can't understand me, can you. There's a card pinned 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.880 to his college, The Institute of Advanced psycho Being grants 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.720 Patient two zero one outdoor walking privileges for good behavior 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.800 and successful recovery from his condition, Signed Professor Adder. I 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.120 wonder what his condition was? If this is considered successful recovery. 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.920 There's a map on the back with directions to the institute. 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.800 He's clearly lost, and judging by the stadison, he must 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.120 have progressed as well. We need to bring him back. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.480 You can't be serious if we don't him back to 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.600 the institute, he'll die out here. I don't think it's 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.520 a good idea. This could all be part of some 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.200 employ to lure us there. And who would construct an 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.280 institute in the middle of a desert. There's only one 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.520 way to find out five, but we must proceed with 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:34.320 the utmost caution. Whoa This is it? The Institute of 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:41.600 Advanced psychobeeding. It's a sterile, gray, windowless building, not particularly welcome, serious, 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.520 no trust. What if we just knock and leave him 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.640 outside the building, they'll still appreciate the gesture. Come on, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.760 we've come this far. We've got to at least go 0:02:49.840 --> 0:03:01.079 in serious never sea buildings like this before, whole machinery, 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:06.200 electrical lighting, biometric access. I know some societies are progressed 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.000 more rapidly than others, but by any measure, this is 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.840 a far outlier. The advanced technology levels of this institute 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.160 are rather unsettling. What are you saying, logo, Are you 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:21.800 familiar with this stuff but only from books? It's certainly peculiar, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:27.919 like we're in another world. Hello, anyone here, we found 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.000 one of your patients lost in the desert. Welcome to 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.520 the Institute of advanced psychobean. Please remain in the lobby. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.960 The professor will be out shortly. Boys speak, but nobody. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.240 It's an intercom serious. It allows for two way communication 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.920 without being physically present in the same space. What loud 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:57.760 ragging boys and walls? I don't know. Hello, I am professor, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:04.160 add Welcome to the institute. You must be the new arrivals. Actually, 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.400 we're just here to return a missing patient. We found 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:11.120 him walking down the wrong side of a doom. Very well, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:19.200 my research associate. He will take care of him. Eva. Yes, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.719 Professor Rod, a free range patient found its way home. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.080 Return him to the atrium and revoke his privileges. If 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:33.240 he disobeys, you know what to do. Electro shock suppression 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.480 and come back when you're done. I have another job 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.839 for you right away, Professor. We're so glad to have 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.080 you back, safe and sound. You had a s worried say, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.520 come on, I'm sure your friends will be happy to 0:04:48.520 --> 0:05:03.320 see you. That's the problem with granting outdoor privileges. Here 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:08.200 at the institute, our patients make great strides with their condition, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:13.000 think they're cured and never want to come back. Of course, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.000 these pituitous privileges are all Eva's idea, some silly notion 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:22.440 about quality of life. What condition are you treating? Exactly? 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.920 At the institute, we treat patients suffering from the most 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:38.320 lethal condition plaguing humanity, Umbra, Umbra. Yes, believe it or not, 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.320 we're in the final stages of developing a cure. Really, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.520 nois and war bag again. Either we're done here we 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:54.200 can cure for Umbra. Professor, I've returned patient two zero 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.440 one to the atrium. What was the other job you 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.440 had for me? Please show our new patience to the 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:04.679 waiting But they don't exhibit any symptoms. We're not sick. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.640 They should be free to goal. I mean the judge 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:18.400 of that. Either cure for I'm bride. What are you 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.480 waiting for? Eva joked to them with the electric kettle, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:39.520 bride and taste them already. What happens? Oh? No, our 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:45.480 packs and saddle at this pieces they took him at 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.480 the stars. At least they still have my amulance. They missages. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:58.480 This isn't the waiting room, it's a prison crapped Okay, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.080 I was wrong. Come into the institute. We have to 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:08.760 get out of here. There's at least twenty prisoners here 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.080 with us. If we all band together, we might be 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.280 able to break out. Hello, I'm e three. These are 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.400 right partners, serious and logo. We've been wrongly imprisoned. I 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.480 imagine the same goes for you a lot as well. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.240 This has a call to action. Together, you can rise 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.160 up and fight to take back our freedom. Who will 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:33.160 join me? Come on, There's no need to be scared 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.040 any longer. This is the time you've been waiting for 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.040 ratings next door? Nay first, I'm very resident of holding 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.480 cell too. I see you three. You got to sell 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:48.880 to yourselves, lucky you ary? Why is everyone just resigned 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.920 to the floor of their cells. Don't you all want 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.960 to get out of here? Like us, We've made peace 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.600 with the fact that there's no hope of escape. This 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.320 is our home now. A word of advice, tipe down down, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.720 But we have to do something. They're listening. They're always listening. 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.320 If you don't stop, you'll just make things worse than 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:15.040 they have to be good? Who's with me? Worse? Barret? 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.160 How things get worse? If we behave well, they won't 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.920 bother us until it's our turn for treatment. Buddy, we're 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.320 bad hat. It's a good boy, totty, be a good boy. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.640 He's battling nonsense to himself. He seems highly disturbed. What's 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:37.200 wrong with him? You mean tiny totty good boy? Cotty 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.640 good boy. He's been like that for a while now. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.920 Best to ignore it, avoid eye contact. Hat good boy? 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.800 What bangs? That's someone we don't like to talk about. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.560 Fritz Fritz Rumor has it Rix was one of the 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.200 institute's first patience, suffering from an especially bad case of 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.760 umbre He had an extreme adverse reaction to treatment, worsening 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.600 his condition. Supposedly, he's now locked up somewhere higher security 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.360 and spends his days banging on the walls, waiting for 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.600 the day he's released. Only the stars can save us 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.000 if Fritz gets out. But don't worry. That will never happen. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:23.200 But what if Fritz escapes? Try himself. You need to 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.559 stand up against this injustice and we re freedom. Someone's 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:37.400 coming with a loose with me trying to hear you out. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.600 Every move is under audio and video surveillance. No one 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.960 gets helped the way they came in. Where are they 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:50.520 taking him for an outburst like this? Isolation security either straw. 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.880 He will be scared of isolation. That's what they all think. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.520 But until you're left alone in a dark room with 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.800 nothing but your thoughts you can't understand and the torture 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.120 in there. All you can do is think and wait 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.640 and hope the end comes soon. What happened at the end? 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:31.360 You break my happiness? No, they looked, let me else, 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:42.520 let me house, put me out of here. I'm here 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:49.120 with you either, I'm always with you. Feel the walls 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.640 close in on you, lose yourself to the deafening stillness, 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.679 fade into the darkness that's last, alone with nothing but 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:05.439 your thoughts, the internal turns on them. Hear the blood 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:11.680 burning through your veins, setting farneses gracing to your chest 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:17.839 as your hearts blow, Tighten tighter, tw strips around the 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.800 lungs each breath to leave in your gassing for air. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.040 Listen to the pounding of your heart, louder and louder 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:34.439 with every beat, rattling your ribcage, ready to plow. Neurons 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:40.320 fight like flaes across your mind, bringing your ears. They 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:46.360 cloud your senses as you lose yourself in dot feel 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:53.880 yourself fries above your body, floating in space, higher and higher. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:12:04.120 To leave this world behind, only the heft of the grounds. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:11.600 Cry to your mouth, lost shot, unable to open hold 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:18.240 the key to your helpless stop rise, squirmed and trapped 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:23.199 against your grading team blocking your path, run to brainlief 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:29.160 with no one take hear me, scream, choke an, unanswered breaths, 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:42.400 as troubled thoughts, term violence, sid silence, just being injected 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.400 with a high grade sedative. When it reaches the brain, 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.880 your higher mental functions will suspend all activity, providing temporary 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.200 relief and leaving you in a state of deep relaxation. 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.240 And here returned around your neck the amulet you were 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.960 calling for. I analyzed it in my lab and found 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:05.040 no unique attributory irregularities. It's nothing special, just an ordinary 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.160 old necklace. You can have it back. It's of no 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:23.200 interest to me. How do we get out of here? 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.520 You don't, There is no escape.

Well, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.599 he tried to break free once, made it all the 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.959 way to the exit. To teach him a lesson, he 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.360 did a week in isolation. He's never been the seen since. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.920 Now a ground drone guards the waiting room's exit. To 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.920 make sure there are no copycats. For your own good 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.599 and ours. Don't do anything foolish except that this is 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.640 our fate. Serious, I don't know what he can do. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:04.320 Or cameras, cameras like watchguards. But I'm the ceiling constantly 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.640 scanning the room. If Timmy Tommy wants escape shadow, there 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.959 has to be white out local camera. Not look hit. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.840 You love me to hit. You need to stract groundcoll 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.440 I comprehend your reasoning, but I refuse to risk injuring 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:29.920 you serious? You know hurt? Serious? Now?

It 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:09.240 functions like a piece or this sets pether must be 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.360 in one of the isolation chambers on the other side 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.640 of the room. Hurry and you're clear of the root 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:25.000 eating cap isolation chamber door. They're all bolted shut with 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.160 magnetic locks. There's another door at the end of the hall. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:34.680 Let's see where it leads. Also magnetic lead sealed this 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:41.160 way open door comic. Serious, Wait, there's a warning high 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.680 voltage keep out. I don't know if I stole no choice? 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.960 A generator. Generator a machine that produces electric to power 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.720 the institute. Huh, I have an idea how to open 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.080 the doors. I can override the generator's circuit breaker and 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.800 use this dial to increase it voltage, short circuiting the 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.480 waiting room surveillance system and forcing open the locked doors. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.080 Free easier Stand at the entrance way and let me 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:17.320 know if it's working right. I'm starting to raise levels anyway? 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:24.400 Oh need more power? Lights blink? But need Okay, but 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.000 we have to exercise caution. If we trip the breaker, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:33.280 degenerator will shut off completely. How about now is going dark? 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.560 More serious? It's going to max out. We shouldn't go 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:52.680 any higher. Our doors open, yes, identiz savers omen we 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.240 go save me fair? Not all right, but we have 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.760 to be careful. With the cells unlocked. The other prisoners 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.320 will be free as well. It'll be total pandimonium in there. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:07.520 Uh you want to stay in themselves? Ah? Either know 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:11.399 in isolation chamber, whole rooms empty. They must have moved it. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.440 We'll have to take the door that leads further into 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:19.760 the institute and keep looking. Get back, get back in yourself. 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.520 You'll only bring more suffering. Tony Totty, Please, we need 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.240 to get through the door, but we will playing nice, 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:30.480 nice like good boys. Now still punish us twice, going ruin. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.200 You want to pop back in isolation? Never if you 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:49.040 won't return to yourself, I'll bring you there myself, not 0:17:49.240 --> 0:18:00.840 the isolation chamber, anything but this, okay? Shall we proceed 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:19.320 onward into the facility and find either ah, where am i? 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.280 Professor adder, one of these things attached to my head? 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.760 Patient has awakened, neural activity levels returning to normal. Let 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.359 me here, let me ask. The process will run smoother 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.040 if you relax. You experienced an acute umber attack in 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.080 the isolation chamber. I've since had you transported to the 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.440 operation room for further evaluation. You chain me to the 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.160 surgical table for your own safety. I assure you connected 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.720 to your scalp are electrodes that measure and record neural 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:56.040 oscillation patterns to establish a baseline of brainwave activity. Your 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:01.280 results either are spectacular. I've never seen anything quite like it. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.760 Your electrical patterns are scrambled, and there's hyperactivity in the brain. 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.840 Here an inversion of the delta and gamma brainwaves. It's 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.800 like your subconscious mind has penetrated waking life. I'm not 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.880 one of your science experiments. No, you're so much more. 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.080 I've examined the minds of hundreds of patients suffering from umbra. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.680 My findings have always been middling at best. Allow me 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.639 to explain how the condition functions. From a single mutated neuron, 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.680 Umbra infiltrates the mind and spreads through the neural network, 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:39.280 eliminating and rerouting pathways as it corrupts healthy brain activity. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:45.320 This is observed as personality changes, mental disorders, memory identity impairments, 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.120 and so on. The end result as always a complete 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.639 corruption of the individual. Up to now, I've only been 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.680 able to treat patients with a full reduction in brain activity. 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.840 But if I could find a way to trace back 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.119 umbra's manifestation to its root in the mind and localize 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.080 the point of origin, I could then isolate a source 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.040 of the mutation at the neuron level to effectively develop 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.200 a cure. The answer is so obvious. Why haven't you? 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.880 In all my patients? It was always too late. By 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.080 the time I evaluated them, their systems were already flooded 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.720 with the umber melody, so I had no hope of 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.840 finding the origin point. You, on the other hand, are 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:30.520 an anomaly physically asymptomatic. You don't appear to exhibit any 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:35.840 of the external symptoms, but under duress, your affliction manifests, 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.640 and you show all the typical signs of the condition. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:44.760 You either are the key to finding the cure to Umbra. 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:51.359 That can't be true. It is, but further research is required. 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.680 I'll be subjecting you to internal imaging to obtain a 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.399 clearer picture of your brain. Before I proceed, I'll need 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.400 to remove from you any object items that may contain metal, 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:11.640 starting with your amulet. No, please not again, that oh amulet, 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:16.119 And don't worry. You'll have it back as soon as 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:20.000 we finish the fats. As I guide you into the scanner, 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:40.359 this won't hurt a bit. Beautiful plants like a dream world. 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.760 It's some sort of indoor garden, rich with lushed floor 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.200 and completely encapsulated in a glass roofed atrium at the 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:52.880 center of the institute. Oh in corner, big fountain, indeed 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.720 in ornate grand fountain, getting water high into the air 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.840 out of a handcrafted spout sheep like a serpent servants mount. 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.359 I call this a utopia, except those people standing at 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:08.119 the other end of the garden appear rather lifeless. Maybe 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:16.680 through garden calm they reach higher spirit. Play serious wrong, 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.760 great role, Si man, They're just like the person we 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:23.680 encountered out in the desert. Attention, all patients in the 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:28.320 rehabilitation Adriaan garden. Your afternoon medication will now be dispensed. 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:33.399 Please stand by for distribution a serious it's ammaratively blended 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.840 and not get caught or we'll never get either back on. 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.399 It's an evil good afternoon and a warmhallo from your 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:48.520 favorite caregiver. Oh you're all too sweet. I come bearing 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:54.520 gifts pill to you. Bit anti help here you got one? 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:59.680 Will you one for you? Open wide my heart? You 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:04.320 look shipper today. Come on gather around, make sure you 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:10.520 all get your medicine to feel better. Here's your phil 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:21.840 sir ah and one poor serious No, you swallowed it. 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:24.680 We have known you. What the effecture? What have you 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:31.119 just done? Oh rbal outburst to patient appears to be 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.680 a regressive treatment and effective. Please it's not what it 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:39.520 looks like umbre delusions. Returning patient requires emergency intervention. No, no, no, 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.880 I'm not sick. Highly combative will have to be subdued 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.000 by electric shop. You can't do this to me. I'm 0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:49.920 not sick. I'm not sick. Stop resisting use of cattle 0:23:49.920 --> 0:24:03.280 crowd required on. This is for your own good. This 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:08.080 brain scan can't be correct. There should be massive cortical 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:12.800 deterioration and cerebral confusions. But according to the image, the 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:20.040 volume of brain matter has increased. Ha ha. There's even 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:27.119 significant remapping of neural networks in support of hyperactivity. Patient's 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:32.439 mind has re architectured itself for optimal mental processing, peeping 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:38.240 at heightened levels of consciousness rather than corrupt thou'st mind. 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:44.520 Umbra appears to have enhanced it, But for what purpose? 0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:49.280 How is it possible the patient coexists with umbra in 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:55.280 a balance state of equilibrium, as anomaly must only be 0:24:55.359 --> 0:25:01.440 temporary before it turns parasitic like the rest. Take a 0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:12.600 bow either you are bound wonderfully a professor, what's that ault? Ah? Yes, 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:23.880 your amulet return securely around your neck as promised. You've 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.800 put me in a precarious situation. On one hand, your 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:31.520 results are troubling. They go against all my prior theories 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:36.919 and research of umbra and the mind, years of work discredited. 0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:43.000 On the other hand, they're astonishing. They reveal the mind's 0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:47.320 ability to adapt and even thrive with umbra, A paradigm 0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:50.960 shift and current understanding. If you think, if you can 0:25:51.280 --> 0:26:02.720 understand umberfected science the human tool, you never understand. Of 0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:08.040 course I understand. Isn't it obvious? What drives me? I 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:16.840 either suffer from umbra? No, your mind holds the key 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:21.040 to the cure, and I must find it. I have 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:29.000 to go deeper, search further, intracranial examination, a vivid section 0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.800 to get inside the skull. You will show me the 0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:45.359 neuron from which umbra emerges. It's the only way. What's 0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.640 going on? Eva? I told you I'm not sick. Where 0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:52.280 have you taken me? The engine room? Engine room? It's 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:55.080 whether reactor or creates the energy to drive the turbine, 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.399 which are then converted by the generator to what is 0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.080 the electricity power in the institute? But I'm not an 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.240 efficient fuel source. I'm barely combustible. Why to bring me here? 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.040 The only faith place we can talk? There are no 0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.560 cameras here, and the noise from the turbine next door 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.520 masks us from audio surveillance. What do you want from me? 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.640 I want to help. I can't lie to myself any 0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:18.639 longer about the terrible things that go on here. I 0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.320 didn't mean for any of it, but I've been complicit 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.919 through it all. Eva, what are you referring to? Professor Adder? 0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.720 Is my father. Our home wasn't always this desert institute 0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.359 in a fire life through are members of a united 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.920 coalition of the truth seekers, the Bereguard. When I was 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:38.520 a child, we lived at headquarters on an uncharted island 0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.760 hidden in the middle of the Arabis Ocean. We worked 0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.479 to narth like secrets, recover long lost truths, and develop 0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.720 a greater understanding of the world's true nature, all for 0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:51.320 the betterment of humanity, and all in pursuit of a 0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:55.040 single goal. What goal? We believe that Umbra is only 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.800 a symptom of a dying world, not the cause. There's 0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:01.240 something bigger behind it, and we were going to find 0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:05.119 out what. I still believe they will. Why'd you leave them? 0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:09.680 The veregard has zero tolerance for dissenters. In their eyes, 0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:12.760 if you're not working towards the goal, you're working against it. 0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:16.120 When my mother fell ill to Umbra. She was considered 0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:20.200 a liability and exiled from the island. We watched her goal. 0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.280 My father never forgave himself for this. He grew obsessed 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:27.320 with finding a cure for Umbra. It became his life's work. 0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:30.520 Knowing the veregard would put an end to this distraction, 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.760 we defected and built this research institute in the far 0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:37.000 reaches of the desert. What chain, Why the prison? My 0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.560 father's intentions were pure. He preached of finding a cure 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:43.360 for Umbra, to end life's miseries and save the sick. 0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:47.280 I wanted to help and wanted to believe. When we began, 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:52.480 we were treating ill patients, making real progress. Somehow, somewhere 0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:55.160 along the way, he forgot what brought him here. It 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:57.720 was no longer about improving the lives of our patience. 0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.920 It was success, no matter what the cost. To accelerate 0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:04.320 our findings and expand our research, my father began experimenting 0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.760 on the healthy individuals against their will. I couldn't stop him. 0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.280 I'm only his assistant at best. I'd free a patient 0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.280 here and there under the pretense of Outford privileges. It 0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.760 was never enough, though, I'm powerless to end this, but 0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:20.440 maybe I can write just one wrong and help you 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.840 save your friend Ether. What the professor doing to him? 0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:26.920 He's been transported to the operating room for preliminary testing. 0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:29.520 There isn't much time until the procedure begins. We have 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.680 to free him. You don't understand Ether's different. He suffers 0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:34.200 from umber it but has been able to suppress it. 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.360 The professor will kill him. I'll get you to the 0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.880 operating room to get either back. Then the three of 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.200 you need to leave at once, or you'll never have 0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:44.280 the chance to get out again. Serious, my other friend 0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:47.320 took one of those pills. What were you thinking back 0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.800 there with that stunt, pretending to be patients? Even if 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:54.160 your acting was believable, which it wasn't. You really thought 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.960 I wouldn't recognize you too soon after we met. Just 0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.800 count yourself lucky with me who bout to you first? Yeah? Well, 0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:03.880 is serious going to be okay? It'll be fine. The 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.800 patients take a staple of psychotropic pills throughout the day 0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:10.240 of that suppressed consciousness and maintain a comatose state. Results 0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.680 like theirs. Take Moss. Serious, he's a big guy. He 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.640 took one water soluble pill. It'll push right out of 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.240 his system. At worst case, he gets a bit dopey 0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:22.160 and sleeps it off. The atrium garden is perfectly safe. 0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.440 The grass isn't even real. It's a synthetic rubber polymer. 0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:30.200 There's simply nothing to worry about. Okay, getting back to 0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:34.120 either what's next? Reaching him isn't going to be easy. 0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.320 Outside this engine room is the main corridor, which is 0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.120 divided into two halves by a set of firebars. At 0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.280 the far end is the operator Okay, when the professor's 0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.640 in the middle of a procedure, he restricts access to 0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:48.040 both the hall and the engines of the operating room, 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.760 so nothing can disturb his work. Even my access is restricted. 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:54.880 But just outside the operating room. Also at the end 0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.240 of the corridor is the control There I can deactivate 0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:00.760 the restricted access so we can walk right through the 0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.720 operating rooms door to either. The control room must not 0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:07.520 be easy to reach either ereon quick study, there are 0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:09.640 a series of alarm systems in place to alert the 0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:12.960 professor of any unauthorized activity in the hall. In the 0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.760 first half of the corridor, there are cameras monitoring the 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:18.440 area in the middle of this section, leading up to 0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.960 the fire doors infrared heat sensors detect unusual sights in 0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.280 non temperature. In the second half of the corridor, past 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:28.120 the fire doors, a rolling drove unent patrols the area. 0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:32.000 It's equipped with audio, video and motion detection surveilance. If 0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.440 a trespasser is detected at any point in the hall, 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:37.280 the system will trigger a full lockdown, stealing off the 0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:40.360 perimeter and preventing us from reaching either in time. But 0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.400 any human made system has flowed, there must be a 0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.560 weakness we can exploit three to be exact. In the 0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.560 first section, the camera's roteemed, giving us the chance to 0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:53.120 undetected if we timement rights. Okay, noted the second, there's 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:55.400 no surveillance. In the side rooms that bind the main hall. 0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:58.120 We can use them to get past the infrared sensors. 0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.920 Right after the stretch of infrared sensors in the first 0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.560 half of the hall and just before the fire doors 0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:06.360
