00:32Sous organ banks will undoubtedly exist in the near future
00:36And since there are already doctors who are thinking about the possibility of one day also transplanting brains
00:41The idea of a brain bank is not all that absurd
00:45The scientists responsible for such an institution could then very well be tempted to keep the central brain alive
00:52Not only metabolically, but we do not want to get ahead of ourselves
00:59The Amish author, Adre Marshall, based his short story Brain Bank on this idea
01:06Host Grau Kramer has adapted it freely for radio
01:09The narrators in the leading roles are Gert Baltus and Peter Luer
01:14Listen to brain number 45
01:25Gentlemen, I hereby open the third session of the committee of inquiry in incident at the brain bank
01:34More fitting word than incident still does not seem to appeal to him
01:37It is my duty to remind everyone present that they are still sworn to strict secrecy
01:45After our last meeting, I received a letter from the chief public prosecutor
01:51In it, he formally reiterates his request to revisit item 2 of the agenda
01:56On the grounds... Oh, Mr. Public Prosecutor, would you be so kind as to provide the commission with the grounds
02:00itself?
02:01Yes, yes, certainly, I would be happy to do so
02:03The investigation into the incident simply cannot be separated from clarifying responsibility for the establishment and implementation of the brain
02:11bank
02:11And that is why I must insist that the president of the research council, as the person responsible for the
02:15brain bank project
02:16Answer questions from the public prosecutor's office, including questions on principle
02:20Including questions on principle
02:22And it is also important that his closest colleagues finally receive permission from him to testify
02:28Hey
02:28Mr. Public Prosecutor, I have not yet finished my grounds, but I see that the president of the research council
02:32is pressing for a counter-argument
02:34Media counsel, please
02:36Uh, Mr. Colleague
02:38Should I understand that the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office suddenly wants to push the circumstances that led to the establishment
02:45of the brain bank into the foreground of the investigation?
02:48Indeed
02:49I am just as surprised as all of you
02:52Gentlemen, please remain calm
02:56We are all focused solely on investigating the incident
02:59And this investigation, as you know as well as I do, would actually be a matter for a regular court
03:05If it did not inevitably result in the public disclosure of matters, that the state would certainly be better off
03:10keeping secret
03:14The prosecution has therefore agreed to this extraordinary and secret procedure before a committee of inquiry, but that cannot and
03:20must not mean that it is right to be informed about the entire brain bank complex
03:25The independence and self-responsibility of the research council
03:28I know what you want to say, but I would like to finish your sentence like this
03:31It cannot apply indefinitely
03:33That is also what this is about
03:34But
03:35The incident that is to be investigated here
03:38Is basically quite conventional
03:40In nature
03:42The incident could just as well have occurred
03:44In, let's say, a chemical laboratory between colleagues
03:47It could have
03:48I'm going to hear
03:49I'm going to hear, but to my knowledge
03:50The research council did not inform any government agency that it had turned the brain bank into more than an
03:55organ bank
03:55And made several available to transplant surgery in this country
04:00The whole thing was still in the experimental stage
04:02Informing government agencies would certainly have brought the lobbyists of the computer industry into play
04:08Perhaps
04:09Nor should we despair here that the motives of the scientists involved in the brain bank project were honorable
04:14In that case, I certainly do not understand why the investigation was extended to the project as such
04:19Yes
04:20You yourself invoked the independence and self-responsibility of the research council for a minute
04:25The question is, to put it quite unmistakably
04:28Whether society can afford to give such unrestricted powers to a committee of natural scientists, I
04:36Gentlemen, gentlemen
04:37I believe that the words of the public prosecutor contain a threat
04:42That, uh, to hear the matter before a regular court in the event of the president of the research council
04:48refusing to hear sissiva matter
04:53That is the situation
04:55I am sorry, but my department has come to this conclusion
05:00We are all aware of what the trial of the incident before a jury would mean
05:08The background would have to be reviewed there too
05:10And since the perpetrator, to put it that way, would not be able to sit on the bench
05:17I'll let for you leave
05:18My staff and I would have to take a seat there
05:20I understand
05:23Does that mean, Mr. Colleague, that you are available?
05:28Yes
05:29What else can I do?
05:31Your staff too
05:33Yes
05:34I want you to know that I am not under indictment here
05:40Yes, then you can question
05:42The gentlemen as experts, so to speak
05:45That is exactly
05:46We should see it
05:47And first of all
05:49Regarding the purpose of the Brain Bank project
05:50I would prefer to speak of a research project
05:53Okay, okay, okay, okay
05:54But it was already being used in practice
05:56On a very limited scale
05:58And without all the outsiders who used the services of the Brain Bank
06:02Knowing that their interlocutors were not computers
06:05You didn't say all of them
06:08We had to ensure that the Brain Bank was also used by people who had nothing at all to do
06:14with the research project itself
06:16That's why we gave a number of students the numbers
06:18And thus the opportunity to get help with their work at any time
06:23From a new type of data center, as you naturally believed
06:26In Professor Lutkin, he wasn't part of your team
06:30Did he also think that he was getting a computer?
06:33No, he had asked for a permanent connection
06:35As Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, he was trustworthy enough to let us know completely
06:40Thank you very much
06:42Professor Lutkin's fall will keep us busy enough
06:45What was it like for a student who was a routine case there?
06:51Routine case, that's the right word
06:53We had already reached that point
06:56By dialing a number, voice and visual connections could be established between certain workstations
07:02And individual brain chambers
07:08Brain Bank, you are speaking to number 23, sir
07:12A difficulty in the static calculation of a pillar for suspension bridges
07:16Your drawing board, sir, should be positioned at the right angle to my imaging optics
07:21Good
07:23Yes, the tension control room is certainly specified
07:26Unfortunately
07:27Yes, it cannot be varied
07:29The road surface is to be a light metal construction with a concrete base
07:34Weight without vehicle load, 6...
07:3683 tons...
07:38Huh...
07:3818 fold vertical suspension on 2mm thick steel struts
07:42Whose sagging radius...
07:44Is 87 meters
07:47Is the shape of the pillar specified as shown in your design?
07:50Not really
07:52But the foundation depth cannot be lowered any further due to the rocky subsoil
07:56In that case, the pillar must be dimensioned more generously
07:59However, this is at the expense of elasticity
08:01Not necessarily if the reinforcement in the grid is angled differently
08:05In addition, the elasticity can be changed by using a smaller grain size of the concrete aggregates
08:10My suggestion, increase the diameter at the base by 120 cm at the top by 40 cm
08:17Should I calculate the new statics?
08:19That would be a great help to me
08:21Can the shortening of the transmission line be factored in at the same time?
08:24Of course, sir
08:25Please be patient for about 15 minutes and interrupt our connection for that time
08:29And block it for other callers
08:31Okay, I'll just switch off the voice connection
08:34The line of sight will remain switched on
08:35Thank you
08:37It's actually quite routine
08:40Compared to working on data processing systems with graphic input and output units
08:45But it's infinitely cheaper
08:47And you don't need any programming skills to work with it
08:51Theoretically, a school child could use a simple telephone line to contact the brain bank for his or her calculations
08:56or similar tasks
08:58But that can't have been the development goal of your work, Mr. President
09:03Of course not
09:05Our aim is to support creative work
09:08Something a conventional data center cannot do
09:11But this very possibility must have made users suspicious
09:15Well, there were two types of directories
09:18In the student directories, only one area of responsibility was listed behind the brain number
09:23Architecture, for example, or mathematics or geophysics
09:26They believed they could only ask for facts and get help with calculations
09:32The others, those for the initiated, so to speak, and the most detailed information about the development of the various
09:38brains
09:40Professor Lutkin also have such a directory
09:43For example
09:45He could make his selection very precisely
09:50Welcome back
09:51You are speaking to number 45, sir
09:54Finally
09:56Number 45
09:57Yes, sir
09:58You are speaking to number 45
10:01I am Karl Lutkin from the mathematics department
10:04To you, simply, Professor Lutkin
10:06Very well, Professor
10:09Professor Lutkin
10:11I have looked carefully at your educational background in the catalog
10:14Outstanding university degree in advanced mathematics
10:16That will enable you to do my job best
10:19I hope so
10:20It won't be easy
10:22I need the solutions to a few complex equations for determining approximate relationships in the field of topological dynamics
10:28Do you trust yourself to do that?
10:31I already dealt with it during my studies
10:34Know that
10:35But I think science doesn't stand still, why?
10:38Since I started working here, I have been connected directly to the new service of the mathematical storage library for
10:43two hours every day
10:44Well then, oh yes, one more thing
10:47On the side, you could work on a few easier tasks, but they have to be ready by Wednesday under
10:51any circumstances
10:53Partial differential equations and a few things involving classes and modal calculus
10:58Presumably your seminar are topics for the beginning semester
11:03I think you are forbidden from having irrelevant conversations with callers
11:06Excuse me?
11:09I ask you not to interpret my question in that way
11:12I hope it will not be repeated in our collaboration
11:15Because I have permission to set up a permanent connection to you
11:20That will avoid any distractions and you will work exclusively for me for a while
11:24As your private assistant, so to speak
11:27You could put it, agreed?
11:29Maybe?
11:29A superfluous question from your own kind
11:32Just like before
11:35What was that?
11:38Nothing
11:40I wanted to say
11:42That I am pleased to be able to concentrate on a problem like I used to
11:47Yes, I'll need you for a few days, but we could easily keep the connection open for a while longer
11:52If you've worked to my satisfaction, I can give you an extra ration of rest
11:58Would that be nice?
11:59Very much
12:01How about I instruct my secretaries to play you a few symphonies every morning until I get home
12:06You like listening to symphonies, don't you?
12:10Very much
12:11Professor, you know how to keep our group in good spirits
12:15Not mean spirit
12:16Of course, that only happens if you work well
12:18But I'm already sure that you'll do your best here
12:22Although we're starting tomorrow morning, I can leave the connection open now
12:25Then I won't bother anyone with petty stuff
12:27Thank you very much, professor
12:30But don't forget that continuous calls from here are also interrupted for the six-hour sleep period
12:35Yes, that's also automatic
12:37One question, Mr. President
12:41Conversations between the brain bank and users
12:43Can you record them?
12:46Yes
12:47But that is generally not done
12:50Only in the very beginning while we were still experimenting ourselves
12:54Were conversations recorded for later evaluation
12:58I was surprised that you were able to recount conversations in such detail, eh?
13:04Well, we interrogated number 45 after the incident, you might say
13:13Yes, that's what you could call it
13:15I see
13:15Did you mention the hesitation?
13:18Before 45 said the name Lutkin and the quick distraction afterwards just like before
13:25There was something there
13:27Is it conceivable that number 45 knew Professor Lutkin?
13:30I mean personally from before
13:32Yes, that is even certain
13:35Yes, that is even certain
13:36Despite the best training before the release to users
13:38The brains retain their individual memory
13:43However, it should never break through during external contacts
13:46Unfortunately, that probably happened here
13:49You have to know that number 45
13:52Was Dr. Sturm, but he was Professor Lutkin's assistant during his time together
13:58But Lutkin has no idea about that
14:00At least not at this point
14:03Users are only given the professionally significant biographical details
14:07But when Dr. Sturm, I mean number 45, Professor Lutkin recognized
14:12And added to that Lutkin's somewhat arrogant way of talking to others
14:17A scene probably played out in his memory
14:19That dates back a good 20 years
14:24You're a worthy fellow
14:25This Murr?
14:27I'll give him his comeuppance in the exam
14:29Just let him get away with it
14:31Why on earth?
14:32Oh, just mind your own business
14:35Mr. Colleague, we're in a great mood again today
14:38And uh, anyone who talks about their affairs so loudly
14:41Shouldn't be surprised when others ask questions
14:46What do you actually have against Murr?
14:48Have you never taken a dislike to a person from the first moment?
14:52Stern
14:53No, no, this Murr's gonna be cut off
14:56That would be a personal pleasure for me
14:58Instead of solving the task he's assigned to
15:00He's been interrupting my seminar session with questions for weeks now
15:04Certainly not a disadvantage
15:05He shouldn't behave like he's already someone who knows who
15:07Someone with his own research projects
15:10A respectable student doesn't even keep his mouth shut and takes notes
15:13A respectable student does not allow himself to ask pertinent questions
15:16As long as he knows so much less than his teacher
15:20This Murr certainly has no idea that he is sawing off the branch he is sitting on with this questioning
15:26How could he?
15:27Besides, they wanted to saw him off from the very first moment
15:31Before he even asked any questions
15:33But they notice everything
15:35I assume Mo is one of those who does not like to be harnessed to their work
15:43Well, I will not tolerate that
15:47Seriously, Mr. Colleague
15:49You are determined
15:52You know that you are blocking the young man's entire career path by doing this
15:55That is precisely why
15:56I hope you do not follow through with your intentions
15:58Otherwise, I might feel compelled to give the Dean a tip
16:05You will not do that
16:07Stern
16:10I know enough about your financial situation
16:15Your search fellowship would be in the trash
16:17It would be even a fraction of what I know
16:23And you were to help him gain this knowledge
16:28Tell me Luchten
16:30You don't look bad when you look at yourself in the mirror
16:33Not at all
16:36But prepare for every conceivable difficulty
16:41Despairing yourself in science is of little use to your career
16:47You also need to store other knowledge in order to confuse it at the right moment
16:51I also know things about the Dean
16:54Spare me your dirty stories
16:59How popular
17:01In any case, I don't sit around idly in world history like some people I know
17:08Many thanks for the instruction
17:11What the others
17:12Had recognized my number 45 Lutkin was not relevant to the incident
17:19Was it?
17:21Was it?
17:23Although hardly
17:26A lot's happened in between
17:27If I may make a comment on the course of the hearing
17:29I think we can be
17:30Grateful to the State Secretary for limiting himself to the original subject of the investigation
17:35After the president of the research council had declared himself and his staff willing to testify on all points
17:43I would therefore like to suggest that
17:45The chairman, but it is not my intention to forego fundamental clarification
17:50I had the impression, however, that I have to regret that
17:53And that was just a preliminary investigation into the incident
17:58My idea of the working methods and the purposes of the brain bank has become somewhat clearer through some of
18:06the president's answers
18:09The brains in their tanks are apparently not entirely free of emotions
18:15With your permission, Mr. President, I would now like to ask the head of the surgical team
18:20Please go ahead
18:22Dr. Talbda, you are in charge of preparing the brains for the bank
18:29Yes, for six years
18:30In other words, even before the research council decided to add a special department to the brain bank
18:35Yeah
18:37Yes, when you began your work, it was only a matter of preparing the brains of victims in such a
18:43way that they could be stored in the organ bank for possible transplants at a later date
18:49Yes, in special containers with super cold nutrient solution and oxygen supply
18:53While the patient was unconscious
18:55That was how it was in the first two years before the brain bank research project had started
19:01The donors, I mean those who died in accidents
19:05Or from an organ disease that did not affect the brain
19:10I wanted to ask whether the donors had given their consent in advance
19:15Without exception, these were people who had given the research council written permission to remove organs for transplantation purposes after
19:23their death
19:25These declarations also include the brain
19:28Since these declarations spoke organs in general, the donors had to reckon with this possibility
19:36Some may even have made this declaration primarily because of the prospect that their brain might one day be awakened
19:42to consciousness in another body
19:45A second life, so to speak
19:49But none of the donors had to reckon with the possibility of being awakened to consciousness as a specimen and
19:56a tank
20:00Dr. Talbot, as a doctor did you not have a dome since you had to do more for the research
20:04program than just dissect organs?
20:07I found the idea compelling
20:09This is brain stored knowledge that can be used to advance various sciences instead of leaving it unused and preserved
20:16only to one day twitch into individual consciousness in another body
20:21Of you that can be debated, but let's leave that aside
20:24I'm much more interested in learning from you now how the specimens, I mean the brains, reacted when they became
20:30aware of what was happening to them after the operation
20:34Well, there were often heated discussions after all the electrode recordings had been attached
20:40And we had to make verbal contact in order to check the function of the artificial sensory aids
20:46Can you describe such a scene in detail?
20:49It would be best if you use brain number 45 as an example so that we don't stay too far
20:53from the original direction of the investigation
20:56If you insist
20:59Where?
21:01Where?
21:02I am always the same
21:05Strange that they always want to talk the same way
21:07I'm not speaking polite
21:11Don, have you checked all the synaptic recordings?
21:13Everything okay, Dr. Talbert?
21:15Reduce the oxygen a bit more
21:17The line between the optics and the turnover has such high resistance
21:20Causes interference regions
21:21I know
21:23Replace it
21:24Be careful, man
21:25Violet insulation
21:28Lighting should be able to distinguish the colors
21:30Okay, now return to normal temperature
21:33Just a rush of adrenaline to the hypothalamus
21:37Storm
21:39If you can hear me, Mei
21:41Make yourself known
21:43Do you understand what I'm saying?
21:47Yes
21:48Yes
21:50There you go, excellent
21:52It will get better in a moment
21:53Get your bearings
21:56You've probably already realized where you are now
22:00I'm sorry
22:01Your body couldn't be saved
22:03The truck completely crushed your ribcage
22:07But this
22:09An enormous asset for the bank
22:12The bank?
22:15That's illegal
22:17My consent only related to transplantation?
22:20Yes, yes, yes, I know
22:21But with their, uh...
22:24The text of the consents can't take into account all possibilities
22:28Otherwise people will get nervous while they're still alive
22:31And who wants to decide in advance whether their brain is usable for these purposes?
22:37No
22:40They'll be prosecuted
22:44Who's going to complain?
22:47They're dead
22:48Storm
22:50You'll lose your name too
22:52You'll be number 45
22:53Let me die
22:54This
22:55Is inhumane
22:57Always the same accusations
22:59Am I to blame?
23:01Did I invent the system?
23:04Some people just don't want to understand it
23:07The brain bank is a unique opportunity
23:09To serve humanity and science
23:12Even after death
23:14Besides
23:15The decision is still entirely yours
23:19You're not helpless
23:22The mechanical hand
23:24A claw
23:25You've already made one movement with it
23:28Was that deliberate?
23:30I think so
23:32Well, you'll still be trained
23:34In any case the thing isn't all that clumsy
23:37With it you'll learn to
23:38With a dose of water and nutrient solution and oxygen flow yourself
23:43Your subjective well-being is the best control
23:48I could completely freak out
23:51And end it
23:52I know, I know
23:54That's what everyone thinks of first
23:56But it will pass
23:58Tomorrow they'll cling to this life like never before
24:02Not that much has changed
24:04A cynic
24:05Your thinking is already running on the old tracks again and
24:09That's a good thing
24:11And you have your knowledge
24:12Ready to call
24:14That's nothing new for a scientist
24:17Is it?
24:19Not bad this system here isn't it?
24:22You theorists have no idea about this kind of thing
24:25Primitive tinkering
24:26But very effective
24:29What more could you want?
24:32Seeing
24:33Hearing
24:34Speaking
24:35One hand
24:37Isn't that what makes people what they are?
24:40And what they think?
24:43Don't forget that
24:47And what's the point of all this?
24:50Still don't get it
24:52The best computer replacement
24:54The brain bank functions like an electronic data center for the user
24:58The only difference
25:00Is that creative services are offered here
25:03And the technical effort involved is minimal
25:06And incredibly cheap, isn't it?
25:08Enough for now, comparatively
25:10Speaking
25:11The conversation was part of the test routine
25:14You're being put to sleep again
25:16Without a little psychotherapy
25:18It's hard to let you loose on humanity
25:21Don't switch to sleep mode and arrange for everything else
25:25Psychotherapy is probably a polite euphemism for brainwashing
25:29Absolutely not
25:30Your individuality has not changed
25:33Only a few new
25:34Let's call them behavioral patterns are formed
25:37That's unavoidable
25:38But I'd rather have an expert explain that to me
25:41It would be better if the head of the psychotherapeutic service were available to you
25:44He produced the training films
25:47The training films?
25:48The instructions should be the same for everyone and repeatable as often as you like
25:52And since external communication takes place via screen
25:55The brains don't even notice that the psychotherapist isn't training them personally
26:00They learn everything all by themselves
26:02Repeat the last exercise
26:05Very good
26:06More concentration
26:08And you have to be able to grasp it purposefully
26:11So
26:13Right simple
26:14Mathematical symbols
26:15So
26:17Don't get tired
26:18The brain bank gives you the unique opportunity to do another service to the human community
26:23And at the same time expand your own knowledge
26:26Suppress emotions
26:30React more quickly
26:31Brain bank
26:33You are talking to number 45
26:35Keep your voice more under control
26:38Disinterested business like
26:40Repeat
26:42Brain bank
26:44You are talking to number 45
26:45That sounds better
26:47There must be no mood resonating
26:48You are part of the brain bank
26:49Which gives you the unique opportunity to still be of service to the human community
26:53And at the same time expand your own knowledge
26:58An unpleasant sensation
27:01Yes, very much so
27:02You can avoid it yourself if you only think objectively
27:05Avoid emotions
27:07They automatically trigger pain
27:09Likewise, everyone tries to have private conversations with users
27:13Only
27:14Objective thinking ensures the functioning of the brain bank
27:17Which gives you the unique opportunity to still be of service to the human community
27:21And at the same time expand your own knowledge
27:24Also rather primitive, don't you think, Mr. President?
27:27But nevertheless effective
27:29Only two or three days and operational capabilities achieved
27:32And the personality structure remains intact
27:35I still allow myself to have doubts
27:37Isn't an incident the best proof of this?
27:40Would number 45 have acted in this way
27:43If it had had doubts about leading a life worthy of life?
27:46Perhaps you are right
27:47For now the general information is sufficient for me
27:50Let us continue with the investigation of the incident
27:53I have Professor Lutkin's secretary call
27:55It has changed
27:56Thank you
27:57But first I have one more question for you
27:59How long had number 45 been on routine duty
28:03When you approved the permanent connection for Lutkin?
28:06About half a year
28:08But we wouldn't have had any concerns beforehand
28:11If that's what you mean
28:13Please
28:21Ms. Drenrand
28:24I'd like a brief description of the afternoon from you
28:28Did you notice anything unusual about Professor Lutkin's behavior?
28:35Not really
28:36Just that he didn't react as arrogant to the strange behavior
28:40Of the student, Shiki, as one might have expected
28:44Of course the student told you what he wanted from Professor Lutkin
28:49No
28:51That was a bit strange
28:54He came in so self-confident
28:56Good evening, good job
28:57Not enough students usually behave in the professor's anteroom
29:01So, is the old man in his den?
29:05Shiki, you may have startled me
29:07Where have you been all this time?
29:09The professor's already asked about you a few times
29:11This attention, well, I can vividly imagine it
29:16Where is he, the old bloodsucker?
29:18Shiki, if anyone hears you talking like that
29:20The professor could be back at any moment
29:22All the better
29:23Until he does, I can make myself comfortable in this room
29:25This isn't serious, wait here
29:27Don't worry, he won't fire me
29:29And neither will you
29:31He'll be glad to see me
29:38Excuse me, Professor, but Shik refused, please
29:41Word for word
29:43Kar, where have you been?
29:46I've been really worried about you
29:48I can imagine that you were starting to get nervous because your next chapter of the book is coming up
29:52Yes, the proofreading
29:54I missed it
29:54And that's it for today
29:57You can go
29:57But, I still want the letters
30:00You can go
30:01And this scene seemed extraordinary to you
30:05I was amazed that he didn't snap at the young man
30:09Well, he was often quite rude to his employees
30:13Especially when they weren't being submissive enough
30:17Mr. Shik had never dared to do anything like that before
30:20But perhaps it was a personal acquaintance
30:24On the other hand, I can hardly imagine that Professor Lutkin would be friends with anyone
30:27One last question, if you can't tell us anything else
30:30You knew that Professor Lutkin had connected the connection to the brain bank
30:35Yes, I had to play music from records when he wasn't working in his room
30:40Did you do that that day too?
30:44Yes
30:44And you forgot to turn it off
30:47I had no instructions to do that
30:51Thank you, Mr. Daher
30:53You may go
30:54Goodbye
31:04Excuse me, Mr. Prosecutor
31:05No
31:05But you probably didn't remember what a permanent line meant
31:10Oh, I see
31:12Yes, the number 45 would have to...
31:14It was your wish to ask as many details as possible
31:17Otherwise, we would have gotten to the main point long ago
31:20We wouldn't have to investigate an incident here
31:22If Professor Lutkin had thought of the connection in time
31:24Carl, I understand you
31:26Number 45 was an unwitting witness to his conversation with the student
31:30Why do you have to talk about it in front of others in this way?
31:33Ms. Darent, she took care of the corrections for you
31:36What else could I have said?
31:38Of course, Carl, you're helping me a bit
31:42But after all, I'm your teacher
31:44And I'll help you too
31:47What's gotten to you today?
31:49Nothing
31:50I've just been thinking a bit lately
31:52I've made a few important discoveries
31:57Well, good progress
32:00Happy with my discovery?
32:02Show me
32:02There'll be time to show me later
32:04Later?
32:05Now listen to me first
32:08You must have thought I was pretty stupid
32:10Because I didn't suspect your praise from the start
32:13What do you want?
32:15You really are very gifted
32:16Oh, I know that myself
32:17You've told me dell often enough that you're
32:19The most intelligent young man who's ever studied with me
32:23What professor says something like that without ulterior motives?
32:26Where calculation came quickly
32:28I wouldn't mind helping you with your book
32:30Even though it ended up being me having to write it all by myself
32:36Forgetting your good performance in the oral exam
32:39Oh no
32:40But don't tell me that wasn't part of your plan
32:43I began to become suspicious when they had to keep my doctoral thesis for almost three months
32:48Supposed to read it particularly carefully and check everything thoroughly
32:53Then she came back with her
32:56Ridiculous marginal notes
32:58The great professor who has me write his book wanted to lecture me on what I supposedly did wrong
33:05You may not be stupid, Shaka
33:08But that doesn't give you the right to talk to me like that
33:12Oh, you'll have to listen to even more
33:15Because now I know who published my doctoral thesis
33:18Crazy Carl
33:20Overexertion, probably
33:22Tarski happened to be working on the same field
33:25This has happened time and again in the history of science
33:28You can't just claim that your work was stolen just because someone else had the same idea
33:34A gifted amateur
33:35I've been told too much of that in mathematical research, Carl
33:42If you're not careful, you'll have a nervous breakdown
33:47You mustn't take it so seriously
33:49Eh
33:51Of course, it is unfortunate that the publication of this article has ruined your doctoral thesis
33:56That is what has happened
33:57You have to accept it
33:58If it had been a coincidence
34:00Go
34:02Fortunately for you, there is no king
34:04You wanted to make me stay at the university longer so that I could continue writing your books
34:09And the best way was to publish my results somewhere so that I had to start over
34:15Change a few equations
34:16And submit the article to the mathematical review under a false name
34:20Goal achieved
34:23Get out of here
34:28I never want to see you again
34:32He has never insulted me so much in my entire life
34:36You are really sick, Carl
34:39Really sick, otherwise
34:41I would turn against you
34:42I will stay a little longer
34:44And you will continue to listen to me
34:47When will you finally understand that I have proof of what I am saying?
34:51Calm down, Professor, so that we
34:53Can continue our conversation in peace
34:59Not at all stupid of them to rent the post office
35:02Box in the name of K.K.
35:03But it was their mistake to think that the trail would end there if I did any research
35:06I asked the Mathematiker Runschau
35:09Borski, they said, claimed to be an amateur mathematician who worked on tricky problems
35:15But they gave me his address
35:19Post office box 214
35:21Right here in our city
35:23Now you know why I disappeared for two weeks
35:26I checked into the hotel across from the post office and waited for them to go to their post office
35:30box
35:34It's really amazing how sharp pictures you can take here really good telephoto ends
35:38Even the head of the letter you are reading is still visible before the box is locked again
35:42They were in such a hurry
35:44Even the letter head is still visible
35:47Mathematiker Runschau
35:49Professor Lutkin hasn't corresponded with the editors for a long time
35:53But a certain Karski has a post office box of 214
35:59Not at all stupid
36:01You agree?
36:06But what do we do now, Professor?
36:10Perhaps we can come to terms in peace
36:13I hope so
36:16The situation
36:17I have it in my hands
36:19My evidence should be enough to end her career
36:21And what fodder that would be for the press
36:24On the other hand
36:26What do I gain from her being fired?
36:30You need me otherwise
36:32You'll be hanging around here for years without a degree
36:34How do you know she doesn't want that?
36:37I have nothing against it
36:38Except that it makes you so poor
36:42As a student
36:43You can do something about that
36:44Right?
36:47You can't think of anything
36:50But I can
36:52You should give me a little support
36:55That's blackmail
36:58A sordid, dirty method
37:02Do you think I'm rich?
37:05Depends on how you look at an income like yours
37:08$40,000 a year
37:12A bit too much for a bachelor
37:14Don't you think?
37:16You could just as well get by on half that
37:19Let the air out
37:21I'm modest
37:22And will be happy with let's say
37:25$8,000 per year
37:29And how long should I pay that?
37:33One year? Five years? Ten?
37:39Do you seriously think I would agree to something like that?
37:41But won't you have much choice?
37:44You wanted me to stay at the university for a while longer
37:47So? At your expense?
37:50Basically a simple thing
37:52Reasonable
37:53Carl
37:55You have no idea what a burden it is
37:57The university expects their professor to come up with a major publication every five years
38:01An article in a journal every few months
38:04I couldn't cope with it anymore
38:07I simply couldn't think of anything sensible
38:09Then you appeared with your brilliant
38:11Talent?
38:13I knew immediately that a great book would be created with your help
38:16But you were...
38:18Too good
38:21You would have finished
38:22Too quickly
38:24I simply had to...
38:25Hold onto you somehow
38:27Ah, stop whining already
38:29I am deeply moved
38:31How did you ever get by without me before?
38:33Did you always copy?
38:35And force others to do what you weren't capable of?
38:40A miserable system in which men like you rise to office and rank
38:45But...
38:46I have no intention of changing it
38:48On the contrary
38:49I want to profit from it
38:50We can talk about the support, Carl
38:53But how am I supposed to stay here if I don't present a new research result soon?
38:59That's right
39:01Your precious book
39:04Don't worry about it
39:06I've been stringing you along just as you've been stringing me along
39:08It's practically finished
39:09Done
39:10What you've seen so far were portions that I've deliberately kept small
39:14To keep you happy
39:15Where is the manuscript?
39:17Most of it is here in my briefcase
39:20But...
39:20You won't get it yet
39:22After all, I need a deposit here so that they don't somehow cheat me
39:27Really?
39:29You've thought of everything
39:32And above all the fact that from now on I have to spend $8,000 a year
39:38Plus 50% of Tom Yimmin for the book
39:41It wouldn't bring in that much under my name
39:43Oh well
39:45And with your connections you'll be able to get me a scholarship somewhere
39:50Oh nice prospects
39:54Doing what I enjoy in peace and quiet without having to worry about money
39:57You're immoderate
39:59And when I'm fed up with this lazy life here
40:03We'll write a new doctoral thesis together with which I'll graduate with flying colors
40:08Thanks to your kind support
40:10Ahhhh
40:15I have no other choice do I?
40:17Very nice as acceptable
40:24But...
40:25Despite all your cunning you've overlooked one small detail
40:29I have a...
40:32Document here that will surely make you come to your senses
40:35If you want to read it please
40:38But don't get your hopes up
40:40This is just a photocopy
40:41Not born yesterday either
40:44What's...
40:45A surprise for you
40:50I don't...
40:52I want to decide who we should have more sympathy for
40:55The murderer or his victim
40:58If we were to go to court here I would plead for manslaughter in effect with the letter opener as
41:03the murder weapon
41:03In any case this does not indicate planning or preparation
41:07Lutkin acted without thinking
41:09At least until he realized that there was an accomplice
41:13And that seemed to make nothing easier for him than to neutralize him
41:16Tell me Mr. President why did Lutkin have unhindered access to the brain bank?
41:22After all he was the dean
41:23And on top of that the entire year was still a secret project
41:26If we wanted to do this on a large scale we would need the support of influential people from all
41:31faculties
41:32But Lutkin had already been treated very favorably when he was granted a permanent connection for an indefinite period
41:37Was there any practical value at all?
41:40I mean for any research projects for users to work in the brain bank
41:46Some things could be processed more effectively that way
41:50I don't understand that
41:52What you might call our technology primitive
41:54The brains can convert their thoughts into speech
41:57Which then comes out of special loudspeakers
42:00A prisoner shaped lens is their eye prosthesis
42:03And they have hydraulic mechanism controlled directly by the brain waves for writing for example on a blackboard within reach
42:12You laugh about this in the age of computers
42:14But I emphasize again that this technical complexity in our country is in no way comparable to the cost of
42:21comparable input and output units of electronic data processing systems
42:26For many scientists it is simply more pleasant to be able to work without the intermediary of any technical aids
42:34A mathematician who formulates certainly finds this very advantageous
42:38Things like this are still written by hand today
42:39And if the second person works with them then one person writes and the other person writes
42:42And the other person writes
42:43You are suddenly very willing, Mr. President
42:46I tried to explain to you why
42:49From my point of view it was nothing unusual that Lutkin had direct access
42:54And a key
42:56And I wanted to ask whether Lutkin had not perhaps only received this key that afternoon
43:01I have to venture against this insinuation
43:03It was a question
43:06It has been answered
43:08Dakin could enter the brain chamber at any time
43:10But he took his time
43:11Waited until evening before he wanted to eliminate the accomplice
43:14And number 45 was able to make his preparations
43:17Because that Lutkin would pay him a visit
43:20Must have dawned on him the moment he turned pale with terror and interrupted the direct feed with a curse
43:27How much time did number 45 need to get his opinion?
43:32Considering that I had to constantly readjust the concentration of the nutrient solution
43:36When only very slowly could I feed enough water into his basin to overflow
43:42About two hours I would estimate
43:44So it must have been around 7pm when Lutkin entered the chamber
43:53Shitting so much sweat or fear
43:57You seem to have a penchant for strange jokes
44:00Where does it say that laughing is not allowed during an execution?
44:05You are not surprised
44:08After what I had to witness
44:10Unfortunately my forgetfulness
44:15It is a pity and dense really
44:17You could be quite useful to me
44:20But you understand that I
44:24That's...
44:24What do you actually call that?
44:27One more or less murder doesn't matter to them
44:30Shike really was the first
44:33Can you call that murder?
44:37I guess it would only amount to property damage
44:39A relatively small font
44:41After all who knows about this institution if anything
44:48Maybe I'm even doing you a favor
44:52When I imagine myself
44:54Vegetating like a thinking machine
44:56Of bloodshed and compassion that's really
44:58Something new
45:01You should have had compassion for the boy Murr back then
45:09What do you know about that?
45:13Old acquaintances so to speak
45:16Even when you were still an assistant
45:17I had the opportunity to admire your ruthlessness
45:24If you had excluded Moskir here
45:27He would never have ended up here
45:30He wasn't intelligent enough either
45:32You Lutkin
45:34Don't worry
45:35We were often together
45:37Stupid talk you're not buying time anymore with it
45:39I'd have to kill my brother if he had seen what you saw
45:42That's logical
45:45So who are you?
45:48Think about it
45:51We argued a lot
45:55There was a huge row between us precisely because of Murr
46:04The hopeful idealist
46:09Starm
46:11Demoralizer
46:14Really? I'm almost enjoying the whole thing
46:18Are you interested?
46:20How are you doing?
46:22A few drops of this to your aquarium
46:24And the collapse
46:27It's that easy
46:31Bad, really too bad
46:33Whether the new number 45 is really suitable for me
46:38But let's make it short
46:41I don't want to
47:01That Mr. Public Prosecutor
47:03A brain that manages to use its clumsy claw to detach a power cable from the cable gun
47:08And thus kill Lutkin
47:10Who is standing in the water at the last moment
47:13At the last moment
47:16Hasn't it itself provided proof
47:17That it wants to continue living like this?
47:24Prefer to wait and see
47:26Whether this on-road committee of inquiry will also make such a snap judgment
47:39In the Heidelberg series Science Fiction as a radio play you heard a repeat of Brain number 45 by Horst
