Tomorrow's Monsters as a production of My Heart Radio, Flynn
Picture Company, Psycopia Pictures and Upper Room Productions. Yeah, what
is that. It's just a little project we've been working on.
It's called Hive Mind. We realized that shout I had
(00:24):
more uses than one. It turns out that swarm of
tiny robots in your head can not only talk to
each other, they can talk to us too and take
remote commands. Make it stop. The prototype has been envelopment
when we needed to test it, and that's where you
came in. Jack. Congratulations, you are one of our first
human trial subjects our prototype. Please please, I'm sorry, Jack,
(00:57):
I can't hear you. M M, I said, please Jack,
we can. We can talk this through just like a
nomo faces She sit, Yeah, m hm. Where what is it? So?
(01:40):
I can draw down on the left or small flat
box like an old cigarette case, polished steel, nothing fancy,
funny for complex and flashy shot has been It's undoing
is in this tiny case two cartridges each field of
(02:01):
a dull gray solution. Two chances to save lives, one
of which would hopefully be my own. Well, Cassie, you
really know how to bring out the best in people.
But you can have a head of a headache when
you wake up. Jenna, find a car fast Jack, something
(02:25):
you with a full charge in a good range at
least eight h kilometers. The only vehicle nearby with a
full charge is an older model Act range estimate sixty
three kilometers. Your vehicle will arrive in two minutes. Were
(02:45):
not waiting. We have virgent business with dr I can't, sir,
you don't understand. Now do you see this? Bad for
federal agents? And we have an urgent matter on the
other side of that door. By the time I got
to the lobby, federal agents were already looking for me.
I waited for a chance to sleep, pasting. Oh do
you smell that something's burning? What are you doing? Just
(03:11):
to be safe, I granted me back of the building,
Jenna sitting the car to the back of the building.
Now sure things h good. Here's your car for your safety.
(03:47):
Please buckle your seat down. Go go, go go. Where
do you want to go? His head east? As fast
as this call? Drive sure thing? Jack m More news
(04:28):
tonight surrounding the tragic death of Finn Connelly, co founder
of the biotech startup Next Corp. We now go live
to Heather Mackintosh and Oakland Heather thanks Ron. Police have
identified the man seen here as Jack Luck and said
he is considered dangerous and unstable. If you have any
information on this man or his whereabouts, please contact the
police immediately. A winner storm advisory remains an effect for
(04:51):
much of the East Coast tonight and tomorrow, with some
areas recording up to January nine. To him, it's just
outside Arlington. It's been three days since I've got in
this car and have been on the back roads ever since,
racing through the heartlands, avoiding all highways and non essential stuffs,
(05:14):
making a shitty tied, but avoiding detection because my face
is on every screen and every federal agency is searching
for me now, scouring camera fees from across America, a
virtual man hunt for me in less than three hours.
Max follow is going to close a deal in Arlington
(05:34):
that will unleash his dangerous invention upon the world. But
it's not Max that's doing him, because Max it's not
himself anymore. When he began self experimenting with his own
mind apps, it changed him. It fractured his psyche, and
something else is taken over, something that had been deeply repressed,
(05:57):
locked in the labyrinth of Max's mind since he was
a board. Something small and strong, something that doesn't sleep,
has no fear, something that is filled with pure hatred
for the rest of us, for our frailty, for all
weakness is for a humdry Jacko became hired a monster Benjamin.
(06:27):
In order to stop it. I had to keep pace
about to stay on shine. So I haven't been unconscious
since I passed out three days ago ahead Max's office,
right after he fired almost everyone at Next Corp. I'm
getting close to another crush, now strung down and rationally
wants left the shire to keep me going. I'm so close,
(06:53):
like every setback costs me precious time and senny, and
I'm almost certain if I make it all the way,
I'll be walking through the door without a fully functioning brain.
I fear that will happened to Max is happening to me.
(07:16):
I am using myself to something else, something dark. At
what point must be becoming one star in order to
catch one. I'm putting over a risk stop now last
stop before heading into Arlington to stop Max. I don't
(07:40):
know how much longer I can stay conscious, so I'm
gonna keep the mic recording from now on in case
something happens to me, there will be a record Jennifer
on the network Quantum Encryption connected. You have multiple voice messages.
(08:06):
Go ahead, Jack, Mrs Baby, I didn't get the file dump.
My access to the h A servers has been terminated.
They say they're streamlined in the agency and I have
been transferred, so I'm officially off the case. But I
saw the news about Dr Reynolds and Finn Connolly. Jack,
(08:30):
I can't help you. You need to turn yourself in,
message skimped said raining web from the A. I wish
you would stop running. You're only making this more difficult
for everyone. We don't want to prosecute you. We just
want to make a deep message skinned Jack. It's max.
(08:53):
Looks like you you've really snapped man. Look Jack, full
disclosure here. We are cooperating with the FEDS, complying with
any and all requests, company documents, video surveillance archives, and
there's some good ones breaking and entering, theft assault behavior
(09:20):
that coincides with the murder investigation in which you are
a prime suspect. But I I just need to know, Jack,
why did you do it? Why? Finn call me Jack,
(09:43):
Jen know log often bound down? Okay, Jack, wake me
up whenever you need me. Okay, even though I just
loped into an encrypted network I and even though I'm
wearing sunglasses, a scarf and a baseball cap to dodge
(10:03):
facial recognition cameras, all they have to do is get
a drone within range of me and they can control
my mind. Look onto the tiny robots in my brain,
the space invaders. A thing called them before he was
thrown off a building. This is gonna be tricky. H
(10:28):
h have you've seen bad days? Check? M hm? Hello? Hello? Yeah, right, hey, Hey,
(11:03):
is anybody there? I'm locked in it? Hello, I'm locked
in Hello. Don't fucking move, David, David truth though, Okay,
hold on now, we can work this out. You don't
have to do this, David. Please. You don't have to
(11:24):
be next cools point anymore. You understand it? Not David?
When when we no? No? No? So ye you be sir.
(12:01):
You can't go in here. This is the president of
sweet right right. I mean, if I'm ex fuller, who
are you, Truesdale? He's expecting me. So, first of all,
I need you to back up. No, touching. Where's your badge?
I don't know what you're talking about, but this room
is the badholders. You understand if you would have head
(12:23):
down to the concert said no touching. What's going on here?
Is there a problem? Bradley? David, Mr Fuller, you know
this man? Actually, this is the man I was telling
you about, the Senator. This is David David Treusdale. Oh, yes, yes,
(12:48):
the war hero. Bradley stand down. It's okay, yes, sir,
he's with Mr Fuller. Would you excuse the two of
us for a moment. Mr Cherusdale had a long trip
and I need to get him settled. Of course, of
course I'll keep these gentlemen entertained. Thank you, Senator. All right,
(13:25):
you're awfully twitchy, David. I can help you with that,
but not right now. I'm afraid you'll have to wait. Okay,
you know I watched you on the map as you
moved across the desert and then I've lost you in
the blizzard. I was also tracking your pulse, blood pressure,
(13:49):
brain waves. They were dipping and spiking increasingly erratic wave lengths,
and then you just disappeared. So m what the fuck
happened to you? David, I haven't. Is he alive? Yeah,
(14:13):
but probably not for long, at least not without a
medic I told you to exercise restraint. I had no choice,
no way he was going to come with that a flat.
Whereas he now near the loading dock, he's in the trunk. Okay,
h after you? Where did you catch him? About forty
(14:38):
miles west of here? He wasn't easy to track. It's
too bad, you know. I was really rooting for him.
He's a survivor. I'll give him that. I've always had
an affinity for those, yourself included. There. Here's the car,
so I made it across the country in this Yeah, Jesus,
(15:06):
David Fox sick. I asked you to be more careful
with our property. Mm hmmm mmmm Well let's let's get
him out of the trunk against Hey, Jack, you don't
look so good. Put him in the back soon. Sorry
(15:41):
about that, Jack, but after what you did the poor Cassie, why,
I guess Mr Trusdale wasn't willing to take any chances.
I was worried it might get ugly. David's due for
an upgrade. He's still on the Beata side and he's
pretty buggy. Let yeah, I have to go to war
with the army you got. You know, I originally hired
(16:02):
David here to just poke around for me, do a
little bit of recon Look at him, he's more of
a a blunt force instrument, not really good at blending in.
Feel me no offense, David. It's just you got to
use the right tool for the right job, you Jack,
(16:24):
You were exactly what I was looking for. Look at you, yourself, motivated, cunning,
just a force of nature. Just point you in the
right direction and you flush out all of the rats.
I mean, you found holes in the system that I
I never even considered. Because you Dave here, I was
(16:46):
able to fix a hell of a lot of leaks
like Abby. I just wouldn't have pegged Abbey as a leak,
But there it was. M h m hm. I took
care of her myself. It was only a fair. She
was such an important member of our team. Don't look
at me like that, Jack, it's your fault that she
(17:08):
had to die. She would have never talked if you
hadn't pushed her through. Oh there's that look again. I know.
I know you showed up in my lab to take
me down, and I get it. I get it. Revenge
is a fantastic motivator, isn't it. He did all of
this just to find out the truth about what happened
(17:31):
to your brother. You want to know what happened to him.
It's very simple. Michael showed up in my lab because
of you, because you couldn't be bothered to deal with
him anymore, because he'd become a burden too, because you
(17:52):
couldn't stand his weakness. So, despite all the risks involved,
you were the one that brought him to me. I
didn't kill your brother. I didn't have to m m
he killed himself. Who knows. Maybe he needed something something
(18:18):
you couldn't provide. Maybe he needed his brother. Maybe he
needed you, Jack, and you just weren't there. Maybe it's
all because of you. Help me get him out of here,
(18:38):
which David, m you know, I'm actually the one who
tried to help Michael, despite the fact he was a
plaintiff in a lawsuit against me. I offered him an upgrade,
but he refused. He wanted to talk to you about
(19:01):
it first because he still trusted you. David, can you
remove the tape from his mouth? Yeah? Ah, what are
you gonna do to me. I just need to run
a few quick diagnostics, even doing an extreme amount of stress.
I'm curious to see how my nanites performed under the circumstances,
(19:25):
and then and my experiments over body. As much as
I'd like to keep you around a tinker with, you've
served your purpose. I'm sure you can understand how massive
a liability you are now. I really enjoyed working with you, though, Jack,
but it's time to move on. It's a mistake to
(19:47):
dwell on the past, live only for the future. It's
a little trick my father taught me. That's funny. I'll
follow told me a little truth too. Yeah, and what's
that you never take your eyes off the hands, Ben
(20:09):
David you're doing. I guess you aren't going to close
