00:00:16I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
00:00:23And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be
00:00:29Oh how can I forget you
00:00:33When there is always something there to remind me
00:00:40Always something there to remind me
00:00:45I was born to love you
00:00:49And I will never be free
00:00:53You always be a part of me
00:01:00When shadows fall I pass a smile
00:01:03I was waiting for you
00:01:06And I can't wait for you
00:01:07And I can't wait for you
00:01:09We're all in how we're safe
00:01:11To kill and hold and hide
00:01:13Oh how can I forget you
00:01:17But there is always something there to remind me
00:01:24Always something there to remind me
00:01:28I was born
00:01:38No
00:01:39Do you know what I'll do
00:01:39What's your name
00:01:46I'm sorry
00:01:47I can't obey you
00:01:48I can't do you
00:01:49I can't do you
00:01:49I can't do you
00:01:49Stop
00:01:49I can't do you
00:01:50I can't do you
00:02:00You're even
00:02:08Mm-hmm.
00:02:36Mm-hmm.
00:03:11Hi.
00:03:12Hey.
00:03:13Tour is beginning at 11.
00:03:15You're the first in line.
00:03:16Could be a busy day.
00:03:18The road seemed pretty empty.
00:03:20Nice accent.
00:03:22You from Australia?
00:03:24No, I'm from Britain.
00:03:25So you got one of those crazy British names, Esmeralda, or, uh...
00:03:30I'm Nish.
00:03:31Nish?
00:03:32Nish.
00:03:34Well, I can't judge.
00:03:35My name's ridiculous.
00:03:37Rollo Haynes.
00:03:39Owner, proprietor.
00:03:41Well, just us two this morning.
00:03:43You sure you want to do this?
00:03:44This place ain't for the faint-hearted.
00:03:46I'm sure I can handle it.
00:03:48Not everyone can.
00:03:49I am.
00:03:57So, I have to peek in your little sack there, if that's okay.
00:04:01Ah, that's okay.
00:04:02Can't trust anyone these days.
00:04:07If you could step through there, anything metal, put in it here.
00:04:12Cool.
00:04:14Mm-hmm.
00:04:16Mm, dinky.
00:04:17Oh, yeah.
00:04:18I call it fun-size.
00:04:21Fun-size.
00:04:22I like that.
00:04:23Guessing you had a gut full of this security shit at the airport.
00:04:27Our immigration guys are pretty tight these days.
00:04:32All clear?
00:04:34Okay.
00:04:36She on the road.
00:04:39So, you're on vacation?
00:04:41Sort of.
00:04:42My dad lives out here.
00:04:43Uh-huh.
00:04:44It's his birthday, so my mom just wants to surprise him.
00:04:47And you're the surprise?
00:04:48Mm-hmm.
00:04:49Part of it, I guess.
00:04:51Where'd you fly in?
00:04:53Salt Lake.
00:04:55You came here from Salt Lake?
00:04:57Yeah, I thought it would be nice to drive the back route, but underestimated...
00:05:01Heck of a trip for a girl on our own.
00:05:05I don't mean to get old-fashioned.
00:05:06Seriously?
00:05:08That is quite old-fashioned.
00:05:10It's hot as hell in here.
00:05:16Hey, see, Mr. Shippe-Bed.
00:05:19Sorry for the heat.
00:05:22Goddamn digital systems.
00:05:23Never trust a guy in tech.
00:05:24Jesus, I should know that.
00:05:26So, what is all this stuff?
00:05:29Authentic, criminological artifacts.
00:05:31If it did something bad, chances are it's in here.
00:05:35Take a look around.
00:05:36Take your time.
00:05:37See what pops out at you.
00:05:38Anything piques your interest, I can tell you all about it.
00:05:41There's a sad, sick story behind most everything here.
00:05:45Just like our main attraction, which is just right there.
00:05:48But that's not gonna hit on ourselves.
00:05:51A lot of folks just rush behind the curtain, hardly even eyeball this stuff.
00:05:55And then it's a bunch of one-star ratings on Trip Fucker.
00:05:58And before you know it...
00:06:00Yo, look.
00:06:00I am not in a rush, so don't worry.
00:06:03Well, then, take your time.
00:06:05I shall.
00:06:09This stuff looks techie.
00:06:11Well, neurotech was my background.
00:06:14Sweet.
00:06:16So, what's this, then?
00:06:18Looks like a hairdressing thing.
00:06:20Actually, that was one of my very first souvenirs.
00:06:23Sheds a little light on how our main exhibit came to be.
00:06:26What is it?
00:06:27You heard of Peter Dawson.
00:06:29Mm-mm.
00:06:30Doctor.
00:06:31Peter Dawson.
00:06:32Well, usually I say, this is Dawson's symphatic diagnoser in Folk Street.
00:06:39No way.
00:06:40And I'm like, oh, it very much is.
00:06:43How the heck did you get that is the next question.
00:06:46Okay.
00:06:47My domain was medtech.
00:06:49I worked out of St. Juniper's.
00:06:51It's kind of like a university hospital.
00:06:53Sweet setup.
00:06:54Part of the Ryan Act, actually.
00:06:56It was in downtown New York.
00:06:58Big old building, research up top, emergency room, and the grade unwashed down at street level.
00:07:05It was the perfect mix of business and healthcare.
00:07:09Seriously?
00:07:10Get away, asshole!
00:07:11Idea was, folks with no coverage signed up for free healthcare in exchange for consenting to occasional experimental treatments.
00:07:21I, I, I work for the guys up top.
00:07:25What, like a scientist?
00:07:26I was more, sort of, recruitment.
00:07:30Yeah, yeah, I'm...
00:07:30Clear.
00:07:32Shocking.
00:07:36No.
00:07:37No?
00:07:37No.
00:07:37Okay, I'm going again.
00:07:38Clear.
00:07:39Clear!
00:07:40Shocking.
00:07:45No.
00:07:49If I'd known she was on tricyclics, I would have nudged the dose.
00:07:52You couldn't have known.
00:07:59It's a bad time.
00:08:02Rollo Hanes, from the 10th floor.
00:08:04Seems you've been having some problems.
00:08:07I think I got something that can help.
00:08:19Fake thing they were into is neurotechnics, pioneering brain enhancements, neural interfaces, all that fun stuff.
00:08:28Holy grail, they've been aiming for it as a way to transfer knowledge.
00:08:36So one of the teams here is working on an experiment, trying to find a way to beam information from
00:08:40one brain to another.
00:08:44This is Kenny.
00:08:49This is Hector.
00:08:51Stay with me on this.
00:08:53So, the experiment.
00:08:55They built a little maze, and they drop Kenny here into it, and he runs around over and over for
00:08:59months on end, until he knows it like a childhood home.
00:09:02And then, they put this on him.
00:09:11It's a transmitter, absorbing signals from Kenny's brain, which were sent to Hector over here.
00:09:19Hector had our prototype synaptic receiver fitted.
00:09:22Now, remember, Hector had never even set paw in the maze.
00:09:26Plan was, he'd now receive Kenny's knowledge of the maze layout, and boom, he'd be able to solve it the
00:09:33first time.
00:09:33And did he?
00:09:34No.
00:09:36Scrabbleed around like a rat-fucking imbecile.
00:09:38So, um, why are you telling me this?
00:09:42Because, just as he becomes scared that the maze thinks a bust, one of our researchers spills his coffee on
00:09:47Kenny.
00:09:48Hot coffee spills all over Kenny, so, obviously, he's squealing like hell, but so is Hector.
00:09:54Turns out, we haven't discovered how to share knowledge.
00:09:57The physical sensations.
00:09:59Bingo.
00:10:00That's nuts.
00:10:01Holy shit.
00:10:02Any nutsier shit?
00:10:04Hector felt the burn, but took no damage at all.
00:10:09All of the experience, and none of the physical cost.
00:10:12But how did he die?
00:10:14They cut him open after to see if he was okay.
00:10:17Oh.
00:10:18Anyhow, thanks to Hector's sacrifice, we prototyped this.
00:10:29A receiver?
00:10:31For human experiences, a neural implant, only one of its kind.
00:10:40This is why you brought me up here.
00:10:42What's the biggest pain in the ass with patients?
00:10:46Finding out what's wrong with them in the first place.
00:10:48Half of the assholes that roll in here can't even describe their symptoms.
00:10:52They're out cold, or concussed, or drunk, or dumb, or two years old, or I can't speak English.
00:11:01Imagine if you could feel exactly what a patient feels, minus the physical consequences.
00:11:10Like reading their minds.
00:11:14That's what you say.
00:11:16Gotta hand it to Dawson.
00:11:17And he leapt at the chance.
00:11:19Like, he was happy to do it.
00:11:21And it was only a short procedure.
00:11:24Irreversible.
00:11:25But, hey, he was a pioneer.
00:11:29Plus, his mortality rates were in the toilet, so this was his best shot at redemption.
00:11:40Does it hurt if I touch it?
00:11:41I don't think so.
00:11:45Huh.
00:11:46There's something kind of kinky about it.
00:11:49It's like the ultimate piercing.
00:11:51You're trying to make me feel better.
00:11:53It's working.
00:11:54Time for the trial run.
00:11:58So, this is where our hairnet doohickey comes into play.
00:12:02Theory-wise, if you slipped it on a willing subject, it'd absorb their physical sensations
00:12:07and relay them to Dawson's implant.
00:12:11We just had to find out if it worked.
00:12:18Ow.
00:12:21This one.
00:12:24Houston, we got a miracle.
00:12:27Right off the bat, Dawson gets to work with the ailing public, starts building up a kind
00:12:32of mental library of physical symptoms.
00:12:34Plan was, he'd get to know how things felt so that he could diagnose them quicker.
00:12:39So, starts small in the ER, minor fractures, that sort of thing.
00:12:44Soon graduates to bigger stuff, major injuries, diseases, late stage terminal stuff.
00:12:52Dawson grit his teeth and went through it all.
00:12:57See, a kid comes in obviously in pain.
00:13:00Doctors suspect appendicitis, they'd hook him up to Dawson just to be sure.
00:13:04Dawson had felt appendicitis many times by now, so he knows if it's something more.
00:13:09Caught things they weren't even looking for.
00:13:12Blastomas and so on.
00:13:14Good luck, man.
00:13:15That man saved lives, no doubt about it.
00:13:19Good luck, huh?
00:13:20Stay in touch.
00:13:21Bye-bye.
00:13:22Bye.
00:13:22Bye-bye.
00:13:23Bye-bye.
00:13:24Incidentally, if you'll allow me to be a crude, Dawson's symphatic diagnoser came in handy
00:13:32in the bedroom.
00:13:33His implant received pleasurable sensations too.
00:13:39So if his girlfriend slipped on that transmitting blue hairnet and he tuned in his little
00:13:44implant nubbin, he didn't just feel what he was feeling, but also felt what she was feeling.
00:13:52Son of a bitch was experiencing male and female orgasms at the same time.
00:13:58Oh my god.
00:14:00Oh my god.
00:14:01Oh my god.
00:14:02Oh my god.
00:14:03Holy shit.
00:14:06I can't get enough of your butt.
00:14:09I'm sorry?
00:14:10Dawson's having a great time.
00:14:12There's got to be a butt.
00:14:13Oh.
00:14:14He's having a great time, but...
00:14:19But...
00:14:19Coming through! Coming through!
00:14:21You're right!
00:14:25One day, they rush in.
00:14:27Senator Whitley.
00:14:28He collapsed at some fundraiser.
00:14:31No one could tell what in hell was wrong with him.
00:14:34I got this.
00:14:36Dawson's hooked up.
00:14:38Be careful.
00:14:39Okay.
00:14:42And it's the roughest ride.
00:14:44Pete.
00:14:45Like he's got no clue what this is.
00:14:48Pete.
00:14:48Just one more minute, please.
00:14:49Let the man work.
00:14:51It's a pain he's never known.
00:14:55Pete, he's flatlining.
00:14:56One more moment.
00:14:57And then it happened.
00:15:06Please.
00:15:12Dawson blacked out for like five minutes.
00:15:16Turns out the Senator had been poisoned.
00:15:18A rare poison at that.
00:15:19Some kind of Russian shit.
00:15:20He'd been into that whole thing.
00:15:22But Dawson had experienced death and come out the other side.
00:15:26Oh, God.
00:15:28At the moment of death, a whole galaxy of synapses fritzes out of existence.
00:15:34Tsunami of endorphins.
00:15:36And then there's this rolling dark wave of nothing rushes in behind.
00:15:40When he came around, they ran every kind of tests and he was all systems go.
00:15:43Nothing wrong.
00:15:44Shaken but unharmed, they put on his report.
00:15:47Next day, he was back up and at them.
00:15:49But there was something wrong, right?
00:15:51To go through all that without dying?
00:15:54Fucked up his implant like that.
00:15:57Ow.
00:16:02Oh, my God.
00:16:09I'm just gonna get some water.
00:16:10Okay.
00:16:16Oh, God damn it.
00:16:21Fair to say his relationship with pain had shifted a little.
00:16:25Oh, that hurt like hell.
00:16:29Now, he was into it.
00:16:31He really threw himself into his work after that.
00:16:37He tried to hide it at first.
00:16:39But thanks to that little nubbin, the more pain he felt, the more pleasure he got.
00:16:51Okay, no, stop, stop, stop.
00:16:53Okay, safe court, stop.
00:17:01You said that we could try it.
00:17:02And we did.
00:17:03But we tried the hair pulling and that choke thing.
00:17:07I'm not into it, okay?
00:17:08It's just not me.
00:17:17Maybe I should go.
00:17:20No.
00:17:21No, please.
00:17:22I'm sorry.
00:17:24Stay.
00:17:26Please.
00:17:41Ow, Pete!
00:17:48I'm going.
00:17:51See, it's like eating chilis.
00:17:53You acclimatize fast.
00:17:55First time you had a jalapeno, bet you spat it out too hot.
00:17:59But persevere, and it becomes addictive.
00:18:02Soon, jalapeno's not enough.
00:18:04You work your way up.
00:18:05Red eye chilis, bird's eye chilis, till you get to them scotch bonnet devils.
00:18:10Dawson's craving was just the same.
00:18:12Before you know it, he's hanging around the ER, just waiting for a juicy accident victim to latch onto.
00:18:18All you can think about is that next hit, gnawing away up there.
00:18:21Give it back, give it back to me, I gotta have it back.
00:18:24Sarah, you just, um, fired me.
00:18:27Pete!
00:18:29This isn't your shift.
00:18:33Pete.
00:18:36Careful.
00:18:39And three, two, one, lift.
00:18:42Let me get this.
00:18:46As soon as he jacks in, he feels it.
00:18:50It's a cardiac arrest.
00:18:51She collapsed in the street.
00:18:52I just want to be sure.
00:18:54It's a heart attack, all right.
00:18:56But he says nothing.
00:18:58Plays for time.
00:19:02Figures he can ride that pain train all the way through to Nirvana.
00:19:12Eventually, they have to physically pull Dawson away from her.
00:19:18Give Aunt Ethel her CPR.
00:19:20She flatlines in front of him, and he's like an alcoholic watching someone pour a glass of good scotch down
00:19:27the sink, sick of the waste of good shit.
00:19:33Look, we always knew going into this there might be side effects.
00:19:36I mean, we can look into how we deactivate, but it's going to take some time.
00:19:40I can't just pull all the people off the other projects, Pete.
00:19:42I mean, we have milestones to hit.
00:19:45Yeah, you know the drill.
00:19:47But we'll get there.
00:19:51In the meantime, we can't have your near patience.
00:19:53So, just go home, put your feet up in the binge-a-mini series, whatever.
00:20:00No one could have known what had happened next.
00:20:03Our authorities are expected to confirm the body is that of missing W.N.L. weather reporter Denise Stockley.
00:20:10Certainly a major police presence there, as we can see.
00:20:15Dawson was home alone, 24-7.
00:20:19Climbing the walls.
00:20:21Withdrawal, I guess.
00:20:34He didn't have patience to leach pain off anymore.
00:20:40So, he started inflicting it on himself.
00:20:56Thank you for looking for a safe return or for any information for witnesses.
00:21:03Spent a week just whittling away at himself.
00:21:08Caught here and gouged there.
00:21:12I mean, the guy was a doctor.
00:21:13He knew how far he could go without it getting fatal.
00:21:18He knew how far he could go without it getting fatal.
00:21:34But it was never enough.
00:21:41None of that was enough.
00:21:45When he worked on himself, there was a crucial ingredient missing.
00:21:53Fear.
00:21:57The amygdala.
00:21:59Little almond-shaped nubbin in your brain.
00:22:01When you're afraid, it lights up like a midnight airstrike.
00:22:04Sharpens the senses.
00:22:05The fear the patient feels when they're staring up at that ceiling light.
00:22:10The fear accompanying each sudden jab of agony.
00:22:15He'd come to appreciate that, too.
00:22:17It went with the pain, complimented it like red wine and steak.
00:22:24You can inflict pain on yourself, but not terror.
00:22:30For that, you need a volunteer.
00:22:57A
00:23:12Oh, my God.
00:23:31Oh, my God.
00:23:39Dawson was practically coming when they found him.
00:23:43He'd enjoyed one big old speedball of fear and pain and death.
00:23:49Tell me they put him in jail.
00:23:51In the hospital.
00:23:53He wound up in a vegetative state.
00:23:56Good.
00:23:57Still there to this day.
00:24:00In a coma, deep as the ocean.
00:24:02But the thing of it is, they say he still has that look on his face.
00:24:09Blissed out.
00:24:11Still riding that high.
00:24:19You're fucking with me, right?
00:24:21Okay, I added the boner.
00:24:23I couldn't use this.
00:24:25Fun story, huh?
00:24:26Yep, fun story.
00:24:28Ooh.
00:24:34Oh, man.
00:24:37Do you want some water?
00:24:39Really, I'm fine.
00:24:40No, man, it's no bother.
00:24:42Thank you, kindly.
00:24:51So, how come you didn't stay in med tech?
00:24:54Well, I did for a while.
00:24:55Just because Dawson went la-la, neuro-research didn't stop.
00:25:10Oh, TCKR adapted it and fine-tuned it.
00:25:12It's how they wound up with the digital consciousness transfers.
00:25:16What are they called cookies today?
00:25:19Uh, like when they upload old people to the cloud?
00:25:22Yeah, this is way before that.
00:25:24We didn't have that whole immersive VR environment chiseled back then.
00:25:27What we dealt with was more organic.
00:25:31Almost lo-fi.
00:25:33How so?
00:25:35Gotta say, you ask more questions than the average bear.
00:25:39Well, to be honest, my car's still charging, so I've got a bit of time.
00:25:44Well, eh, what I wanted to show you, um,
00:25:49part of what I was working on.
00:25:53It's, um, cute?
00:25:56Actually, one of the saddest things in the whole place.
00:26:00Doesn't look it.
00:26:01You ever had one of those relationships
00:26:03where you just can't get someone out of your head?
00:26:07Yeah.
00:26:08Some years back, boy meets girl,
00:26:11boy's called Jack,
00:26:13girl's called...
00:26:14Jill.
00:26:15Carrie.
00:26:17I'm taking my own business.
00:26:19Fuck!
00:26:21Bye, Kate.
00:26:27You're welcome.
00:26:28Hey, Jill!
00:26:29Hey!
00:26:35I'm heading to the sheriff now,
00:26:38and I'll be risen.
00:26:40I'm sorry.
00:26:42Hey, let's let my love know.
00:26:44We're coming to rest.
00:26:49Eventually, he dick pukes a little baby paste up a wazoo, which takes hold.
00:26:57Before you know it, out pops a boy.
00:27:01Parker.
00:27:01Boom.
00:27:03They're a family unit.
00:27:05A walking commercial for a sunnier future.
00:27:08Happy as hell.
00:27:09I want to take a photo.
00:27:12Okay.
00:27:13I'm going to get the lake in the background.
00:27:15All right, good.
00:27:16Okay, you ready?
00:27:17Parker.
00:27:18Wave money.
00:27:19She never said I had money.
00:27:24Carrie gets hit by a truck.
00:27:27Winds up at St. Juniper's.
00:27:37Go back to me.
00:27:46Years go by.
00:27:48Jack visits her every week, talks to her, plays her recordings of their son, shoots the shit.
00:27:54She never wakes up.
00:27:58But they tested the comm box on her, a kind of basic device that let coma folks sort of respond
00:28:05back.
00:28:06I got you some room freshness.
00:28:09You want pine forest?
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:15What about citrus fresh?
00:28:19Gotcha.
00:28:21And I recorded Parker sing with some other kids.
00:28:25You want to hear?
00:28:30Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star.
00:28:34I want to wonder when you're on.
00:28:37Hey.
00:28:40Hey.
00:28:40Woman in 302, Carrie Lamass.
00:28:43You're the partner, right?
00:28:46Uh-huh.
00:28:47Jack?
00:28:48Rollo Haynes.
00:28:49I represent neuro-RND for TCKR.
00:28:51Okay.
00:28:52We're working on a project that might be of interest to someone in your position.
00:28:56What's-what's my position?
00:28:58We're exploring something that could give the likes of Carrie a whole new lease of life.
00:29:04I'm talking miraculous.
00:29:07What do you mean?
00:29:09So the guys at TCKR have been working on digitally extracting a consciousness out of one brain
00:29:15and-and kind of rehousing it in a host brain.
00:29:20What does that even mean?
00:29:21Um, okay, so even on a good day, we only use 40% of our brain capacity.
00:29:26There is this whole other 60% of our noggin hanging around like an empty Airbnb.
00:29:30And so-
00:29:31And so with our new compression technique, we figure we can fit another whole consciousness
00:29:37into that unused space.
00:29:41I'm talking about taking Carrie's consciousness from that broken shell and putting it in there.
00:29:49What, um, you're talking like-like a voice inside my head?
00:29:54Like the whole of her inside your head.
00:29:56Like a-like a hitchhiker, like a passenger.
00:29:59Vicarious sensations.
00:30:00She sees what you see.
00:30:02She feels what you feel.
00:30:04She can live again.
00:30:07It feels as in-
00:30:08You got a little boy, Parker.
00:30:11How do you know all this?
00:30:12You hug Parker, and Carrie feels it too.
00:30:17She can hug your son via you.
00:30:22How-how much does this all cost?
00:30:25It won't cost a thing.
00:30:27We will have to euthanize her physical body during the transfer process, but we would earmark
00:30:33her organs for transplants.
00:30:36Giving back to the community.
00:30:43So what do you see?
00:30:45I'd have to think about it.
00:30:49Curious on her thinking.
00:30:52How about you?
00:31:02Commencing upload procedure.
00:31:18Now moving to download.
00:31:30Okay, she's installed.
00:31:32She's home.
00:31:37You can open your eyes now, Jack.
00:31:51Carrie?
00:31:53If you can hear me, tell Jack what you see.
00:31:59An-an apple?
00:32:01I-I-I see an apple.
00:32:07I-I can hear her.
00:32:09A-Apple, apple.
00:32:10She's saying apple.
00:32:12Mm-hmm.
00:32:12Hey, baby.
00:32:14Hey, Jack.
00:32:16Take it.
00:32:19Rip it.
00:32:28Gary, you feel that?
00:32:33Oh, she-she says she feels it.
00:32:37Sensation's looking good.
00:32:38Take a bite.
00:32:43Oh, God.
00:32:46So long since I tasted anything.
00:32:48You can taste that?
00:32:52She-she tastes it.
00:32:53Holy shit.
00:32:55Looks like you're all set.
00:32:59Shall we bring him in?
00:33:00Come on, you guys.
00:33:07Is that Parker?
00:33:12He got so big.
00:33:16Oh, God, Jack.
00:33:18Hold him.
00:33:18Hold on, little boy.
00:33:20Give me a really big hug.
00:33:21Please.
00:33:26I feel him.
00:33:28I really feel him.
00:33:32Mommy says she loves you.
00:33:43Truly heartwarming.
00:33:45Yeah.
00:33:46But this is where you say but.
00:33:49Well, not to wax philosophical,
00:33:51but how long can happiness realistically last, anyhow?
00:34:02God, turn the page already.
00:34:04Man, you read slow.
00:34:06I like to take in the pictures.
00:34:08It's what the graphic part of a graphic novel is.
00:34:13It's true.
00:34:15Hey, uh, I got to take a piss.
00:34:21Uh, I'll never get used to this.
00:34:24Feels good, huh?
00:34:34Whoa, you're not washing our hands?
00:34:37Uh, our hands.
00:34:40Seriously, though, it's kind of gross.
00:34:4838-year-old Clayton Lee was today found guilty
00:34:51of the horrific murder of WNL weather reporter Denise Stongley,
00:34:55whose mutilated remains were discovered one year ago today.
00:34:59We should turn this off as disturbing to a four-year-old.
00:35:02He's fine.
00:35:03He's not even listening.
00:35:06Parker!
00:35:07Jesus!
00:35:08Don't snap at him!
00:35:09Oh, but snapping at me is fine?
00:35:11Baby, you're...
00:35:12How does that work?
00:35:13He's a child!
00:35:15It's serious, man.
00:35:17What?
00:35:18No, no, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not being,
00:35:20I'm not being unreasonable.
00:35:22He not, uh, no, just, wait, no, just, just hear me out.
00:35:26Having a backseat driver glued into the backseat
00:35:29ain't no fun for anyone in the car.
00:35:32No privacy for him.
00:35:34No agency for her.
00:35:36And driving you mental.
00:35:38Exactly.
00:35:39Hey, you don't find, forget it.
00:35:41All right, go ahead, keep talking.
00:35:42I'm going for the anchovies.
00:35:44You want to be quiet?
00:35:46Hmm?
00:35:47You want to shut up now?
00:35:48You good?
00:35:49Hmm?
00:35:50You good?
00:35:52Fuck you!
00:35:55Oh, fuck!
00:35:56Yeah, I don't, I don't care.
00:35:58Oh, you, you still talking?
00:36:00Hmm?
00:36:00You, hmm?
00:36:01Oh, anyhow, soon he or they come to me
00:36:10like I'm their relationship therapist.
00:36:13Oh, would you, would you pipe down and let me speak?
00:36:16Let me finish your goddamn sentence.
00:36:18Ready, guys?
00:36:20I see the problem.
00:36:22She's the problem.
00:36:23Familiarity breeding contempt is the problem.
00:36:26You need to ration your contact.
00:36:28Ration how?
00:36:29She's running through my head like a goddamn tune I can't shake.
00:36:31Well, we could upgrade your privileges, Jack.
00:36:35Give you a little more control.
00:36:38Shut up!
00:36:39Sorry, go, go on.
00:36:41Well, maybe if you had the ability to place carry-on pause now and then,
00:36:50it'd make things easier for the both of you.
00:36:53Do it.
00:36:55Whatever.
00:36:56Whatever, whatever.
00:36:57Do it.
00:36:58So he upped his privileges.
00:37:00You should be upped with him.
00:37:01This one?
00:37:02That's it.
00:37:03Okay.
00:37:03Didn't take him long to use them.
00:37:23So now we're just openly checking out women's racks?
00:37:29And don't say you weren't because I can feel the fucking boner forming, okay?
00:37:36And he checks her ass, too, as she leaves.
00:37:38Holy fuck.
00:37:41So I checked her out.
00:37:42What?
00:37:43I'm horny as fuck.
00:37:44I haven't jerked off in like a month.
00:37:46Well, I'm not stopping you.
00:37:48You're looking over my shoulder, but from the inside.
00:37:50It's like trying to jerk off in front of a cop who's also your mom.
00:37:53Fuck you!
00:37:54Okay, you know what?
00:37:55That's it.
00:37:56That's it.
00:37:56Time out.
00:37:57I'm putting you on pause.
00:37:58No.
00:37:58Jack, don't you dare.
00:38:00Jack!
00:38:01Jack, I'm warning you.
00:38:06Not cool.
00:38:08Don't do that again.
00:38:11Are we at home?
00:38:13Why the Halloween pumpkin?
00:38:15Halloween's months from now.
00:38:19Actually, it's today.
00:38:26How long was I on pause?
00:38:28Uh, just a few weeks.
00:38:33I don't know.
00:38:35Eight?
00:38:38Okay.
00:38:39I know.
00:38:40I'm sorry.
00:38:42I know.
00:38:43I'm sorry.
00:38:43I felt really bad.
00:38:45So, um, I got you this.
00:38:50I figured it's kind of our anniversary, so...
00:38:53Fuck you.
00:38:54You're a fucking asshole.
00:38:56Hey, you want me to eat this cupcake or not?
00:38:58Orange cream icing.
00:38:59Look, where's Parker?
00:39:00I want to see Parker.
00:39:01You had him away from me for months.
00:39:03I want to see my boy.
00:39:08Okay.
00:39:10Okay.
00:39:14Where is he?
00:39:23What you got going on there?
00:39:25Is that a fire truck?
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:29Tell him I love him.
00:39:33Hey, buddy.
00:39:34Mommy loves you.
00:39:39Tell him I need a hug.
00:39:41You want to know something else?
00:39:44Mommy needs a hug.
00:39:46Hmm?
00:39:50Oh, God.
00:39:57Parker complicated things.
00:40:01They both felt responsibility for him,
00:40:04so they tried to compromise.
00:40:06You know, reach an agreement like adults.
00:40:09Jack put Kerry on pause except for the weekends
00:40:14when they take Parker out with Kerry in attendance,
00:40:17kind of like a divorcee with visiting ones.
00:40:19He's so cute.
00:40:21Wah!
00:40:26He he, he, he, he, he, he, he!
00:40:30AHH!
00:40:31He's trying to.
00:40:33He's.
00:40:34AHH!
00:40:36AHH!
00:40:36He's trying to.
00:40:38He's trying to.
00:40:39I'm coming here.
00:40:40Come on, come on.
00:40:41Ah!
00:40:42Ah!
00:40:45Ah!
00:40:46Ah!
00:40:47Ah!
00:40:52It worked okay for a while
00:40:59Hey
00:41:01Looks like we're neighbors. I've just moved in
00:41:05Emily Jack nice to meet you
00:41:08please
00:41:10Hey
00:41:11Oh, who's this?
00:41:14It's Parker. Cool name
00:41:17Guess that I'll see you around
00:41:21Guess I'll see you around she was nice. Okay. Oh cut the shit
00:41:27I know when your hormones are flowing. Okay. Our balls are brewing up a blow load as we speak. I
00:41:33can't I'm with our son
00:41:36What I didn't hit on anyone, you know, fuck it visiting time is over no Jack don't you dare Jack
00:41:48Parker wait up
00:41:50Anyhow as time passed by Jack got it on with the neighbor and Carrie didn't take it so good
00:42:01She works all week. We just wanted to spend a weekend together. Jesus. Can't you just be happy for us?
00:42:07No, Jack weirdly enough
00:42:09I can't Christ you are so bitter
00:42:13No, why
00:42:16Is she giving you shit?
00:42:19Carrie stop giving him shit tell her to back off
00:42:24I
00:42:25Tell her
00:42:26Jesus Christ
00:42:32So the weekend thing isn't working
00:42:35I'm gonna try limiting her to an hour
00:42:37But you can tell that she's in there like that
00:42:40Judging bitching
00:42:41The time frame is frustrating for Carrie. Carrie is frustrating for us
00:42:50You got Carrie on pause now
00:42:55Okay, well
00:42:58There's always deletion
00:43:02As in as in permanent erasure, uh-huh. No
00:43:07That'd be killing her. Mmm. Not legally, but ethically
00:43:11Please she's just some leftover code in your head. It'll be like
00:43:16Like deleting an email. No
00:43:19No, no deletion. I'm not doing it. She wants to be near Parker. I can't take that away from her.
00:43:25There's got to be something you can do
00:43:28My friends
00:43:32You're in luck
00:43:35It's something we're beta testing. It's actually aimed at terminally ill parents kind of like a souvenir for their kids
00:43:43here
00:43:45I'll work here
00:43:47I like it keepsake
00:43:49We can put her in here
00:43:50In there
00:43:52Uh-huh
00:43:52It's it has a consciousness receptor kind of like the one we put in your head, but
00:43:58a prototype and there's a camera here
00:44:02So she can see parker plus the whole body's got haptic feedback
00:44:06So if little parky gives it a cuddle
00:44:08She'll feel it and she can communicate back but in a kid-friendly controlled way
00:44:17Yeah, I don't know i'm gonna have to think about it
00:44:21I'll say yes
00:44:26Well, she's done her thinking
00:44:28How about you?
00:44:32The transfer went pretty fast
00:44:35Carrie wouldn't have even been aware it was happening
00:44:39Until she woke up
00:44:41Come on buddy you gotta tear it tear into that thing
00:44:45Jack?
00:44:45You almost got it
00:44:47There you go
00:44:49All right pull it out
00:44:51Oh there you go
00:44:53What is it parker?
00:44:57Monkey
00:44:58What?
00:45:02That's pretty cool, huh?
00:45:06Jack
00:45:07Jack what the fuck?
00:45:09But you know something
00:45:11This?
00:45:13Hey this uh
00:45:15This is a very special monkey
00:45:18Mom wanted you to have it
00:45:19What?
00:45:21Every time you hug it mom will know
00:45:23And she'll feel that hug too
00:45:25No no no Jack
00:45:27Jack put me back in your fucking head
00:45:29Jack!
00:45:30And this monkey can speak to you
00:45:32It can let you know how it feels
00:45:34How does she speak?
00:45:37Well a calm set up was a little rudimentary
00:45:43I mean this is a prototype
00:45:45Jack!
00:46:00Monkey loves you
00:46:02What was that?
00:46:09Monkey needs a hug
00:46:12Give monkey a hug
00:46:16Monkey loves you
00:46:19Monkey needs a hug
00:46:21Monkey loves you
00:46:23Monkey loves you
00:46:24Monkey loves you
00:46:26Yeah I think
00:46:30Monkey just needs a minute to get used to how things are gonna be
00:46:44No listen
00:46:46Fucking bitch
00:46:47We can still have you right
00:46:49That what you want?
00:46:54Do monkey needs a hug or no?
00:46:59Monkey needs a hug
00:47:02Are you gonna be a good toy?
00:47:06Are you gonna be a good toy?
00:47:11Monkey loves you
00:47:13You better
00:47:14You better
00:47:17Anyhow
00:47:18In the end
00:47:20Parker got tired of his new toy
00:47:23But that's kids
00:47:25They're ingrates
00:47:39Monkey needs a hug
00:47:41Monkey needs a hug
00:47:42Whoa
00:47:43Wait so this is a crime museum
00:47:46Where's the crime in this?
00:47:48Well the monkey is the crime
00:47:52A couple of years back the UN made it illegal to transfer human consciousnesses into limited formats like this
00:48:01Gotta be able to express at least five emotions for it to be humane apparently
00:48:06Human rights for cookies
00:48:09Right Carrie?
00:48:10Monkey needs a hug
00:48:12She's still in there
00:48:13Be illegal to delete her too
00:48:15So yeah
00:48:16They'll figure
00:48:18Anyhow
00:48:19ACLU raised one heck of a stink
00:48:21And so thanks to this son of a monkey
00:48:23I was out of my ass from TCKR
00:48:25Not even a severance package
00:48:27It's why I started this place
00:48:30Had to branch out somehow
00:48:31And it appealed to the carny in me I guess
00:48:39Monkey needs a hug
00:48:41Goddamn AC still not working
00:48:43Oh it's hot
00:48:48But I kept you waiting too long
00:48:52You ready for the prime exhibit?
00:48:55Step right this way
00:48:58Listen I gotta warn you
00:49:01He's not the man he was
00:49:03Was
00:49:04Sorry
00:49:04Feel some more water
00:49:07I'm fine
00:49:09He's this way
00:49:10Come on mister
00:49:17You got a visitor
00:49:21May I present
00:49:23Clayton Lee
00:49:24Weather girl killer
00:49:27I know
00:49:28He's kind of mopey these days
00:49:31Because kind of a pathetic figure
00:49:33But don't feel too sorry for him
00:49:36He is a convicted murderer
00:49:42Lest we forget
00:49:44Denise Stockley
00:49:46Tragic and cute
00:49:47Ain't that right Clayton?
00:49:50Cooey
00:49:56He's actually looking at you
00:49:58Look out
00:50:00Maybe you're his type
00:50:03He looks so real
00:50:04Well it is him
00:50:05Or a fully conscious upload of him
00:50:09You're probably wondering how he got in here
00:50:13After TCKR kicked me out
00:50:15My plan was to branch out into celebrity consciousnesses
00:50:19Sign up famous people and reincarnate them as holograms after they die
00:50:22Kind of like a living Madame Tussaud
00:50:26But celebrities
00:50:28That's just a quagmire
00:50:30Too many rights issues
00:50:32Asshole representatives
00:50:36But convicted killers
00:50:39It's a different story
00:50:46Michael was asking about
00:50:48You're getting married now
00:50:49Thank you
00:50:49Jesus
00:50:50I know it's hard
00:50:51I know
00:50:55Mr. Lee, allow me to introduce myself
00:51:08My name is Rollo Haney
00:51:10They say you're in technology
00:51:12Uh
00:51:14Yes, that is true
00:51:15So you could look into this DNA thing
00:51:17Prove it wasn't me
00:51:18Um
00:51:19Yes, that's certainly a possibility
00:51:21But that's not why I'm here
00:51:24I have a proposal
00:51:25Goodbye
00:51:26No wait, I have a proposal
00:51:28I can help
00:51:28I can help your family
00:51:33How'd you talk him into it?
00:51:36He didn't need much convincing
00:51:37So really it's just signing over the rights
00:51:41To your digital self
00:51:43In case the worst happens
00:51:45And I promise
00:51:46Your relatives will receive the lion's share of any profits
00:51:49So if
00:51:50You know god forbid
00:51:52You do get sent to the chair
00:51:56You know your family will be provided for
00:51:59For life
00:52:01How does family feel about it?
00:52:03He didn't give a shit
00:52:05Abandoned him the moment he got locked up
00:52:09I know, right?
00:52:11Jesus Christ
00:52:11Clay is your soul
00:52:13Ain't no such thing
00:52:15It's just a computer simulation or something
00:52:18Then why does he need your permission?
00:52:21If my pardon comes through
00:52:23It won't matter
00:52:26And if it doesn't?
00:52:28Then if they send me to the chair this is gonna pay
00:52:31It's gonna keep you and the kids above water
00:52:34Maintain a roof over y'all
00:52:36Baby, don't
00:52:38This could be a good thing
00:52:43But he never did get that pardon
00:52:45Shit, no
00:52:46Because he was guilty
00:52:48Wasn't there some doubt?
00:52:50You know the documentary?
00:52:51Fake news
00:52:52How'd you jump?
00:52:53What about the DNA temperance?
00:52:55Seriously?
00:52:55Hey, there's no doubt about it
00:52:59The day he got the chair was a great day for justice
00:53:08Clayton couldn't complain
00:53:10I mean he was gonna be a pioneer
00:53:16I was gonna slurp up his entire consciousness
00:53:20He'd be the first guy on death row to survive his own execution
00:54:02The transfer went beautifully
00:54:15Before I knew it
00:54:16Clayton was born again
00:54:38Hi buddy
00:54:40Congratulations to you
00:54:44You're in the afterlife
00:54:45So to speak
00:54:49Looking good
00:54:51What a ghost?
00:54:52If that helps
00:54:53Yeah
00:54:56I just gotta test a few things here
00:54:59Okay
00:54:59So this may seem a little weird
00:55:01Just hang on in there
00:55:06What the fuck?
00:55:08See I knew just
00:55:10Seeing the guy walking around captive
00:55:13That was good
00:55:13But that wasn't much of a draw
00:55:15But pulling the lever yourself
00:55:19Now that's an attraction
00:55:22Hey!
00:55:23Okay
00:55:23Hey!
00:55:24Three, two, one
00:55:30Dawson's painting
00:55:31I could pave the way for it
00:55:32A perfect recreation
00:55:35A perfect recreation of exactly how the agony of electrocution feels
00:55:40Every vault simulated for real
00:55:46He must never let him exceed 15 seconds at max of all
00:55:50That would wipe his digital synapses out for good
00:55:53Kill him
00:55:57Ten seconds seemed to be the optimum shock length
00:56:01So that became the intractable limit
00:56:04Okay
00:56:06Have a little rest
00:56:09Get used to your room
00:56:11Official openings tomorrow
00:56:23In fact, in the early days
00:56:25The problem
00:56:27Was fitting everyone in
00:56:45Of course it was really souvenirs that were driving trade
00:56:50It was beautiful
00:56:53Every time he finished juicing him
00:56:55Out pops a conscious sentient snapshot of Clayton
00:56:58Not a recording
00:56:59A true copy of his mind
00:57:01Perpetually experiencing that beautiful pain
00:57:05Stuck forever in that one perfect moment of agony
00:57:09Always, always, always, always suffering
00:57:14And, what you'd call
00:57:18Fun size
00:57:31Take a seat if it makes it easier
00:57:39Get out
00:57:45Sit down
00:57:49Ow
00:57:54What?
00:57:56My accent?
00:57:58Not fucking British
00:58:02Sorry to disappoint
00:58:06Where are you?
00:58:08You're missing parts of the story out, Mr. Haines.
00:58:11Why is that?
00:58:12You forgot to mention a protest.
00:58:15His wife started a campaign, got some momentum behind it.
00:58:19Guess you'd call it virtue signaling bullshit,
00:58:21but I know it hurt your attendance.
00:58:28And even the protestors got bored after a while.
00:58:32As soon as it was clear,
00:58:33the state wouldn't do a damn thing about clearing it.
00:58:35They just moved on to the next viral miscarriage
00:58:38with just as they can hang a hashtag off of.
00:58:42But they did their job, right?
00:58:43This place was on the shit list.
00:58:45Who was your core clientele after that?
00:58:48You lost the day-trippers, the tourists,
00:58:52fun family crowd. Who was left?
00:58:54You were again, you pissy-faced motherfucker!
00:59:00Loners, sadists,
00:59:02the supremacist sickle demographic.
00:59:05Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah,
00:59:08nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:59:10That crowd's not big enough.
00:59:13That'll keep the lights on.
00:59:15So if someone shows up,
00:59:18some classic race-hate rich guy
00:59:20with a hard-home for power,
00:59:23then he slips you some extra for a longer term with a crank.
00:59:30They're taken.
00:59:48Wasn't the same after that, was you?
00:59:51Not dead, but hardly alive either.
00:59:54Even the perverts didn't want to pull a...
00:59:56a lever on a vegetable.
01:00:00Where's the joy in that?
01:00:03But someone came to see you, right?
01:00:09She saw him.
01:00:13She stood on his spot,
01:00:16saw what you had done to him.
01:00:19What?
01:00:20Okay.
01:00:21He's like a diesmal animal.
01:00:24God knows if he even recognized him.
01:00:28God knows if he even recognizes me.
01:00:59Dad.

01:01:25I'm crying.
