To soften the crippling shock of the
terrifying information I am about to give you,
194
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,250
this machine will temporarily stun your brain
195
00:15:20,417 --> 00:15:23,167

DAVID SCREAMS
198
00:15:27,792 --> 00:15:30,209
In 72 years from your point in time,
199
00:15:30,375 --> 00:15:32,750
cloning will become commercially available.
200
00:15:32,917 --> 00:15:34,875
When your body is ready to die,
201
00:15:35,042 --> 00:15:38,375
your consciousness will be directly
transplanted into a new one.
202
00:15:38,542 --> 00:15:43,125
In case of emergency, cheap back-up copies
are traditionally cloned at the same time,
203
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:45,042
as children or adults.
204
00:15:45,209 --> 00:15:47,292
Although their brains will house
back-up memories,
205
00:15:47,459 --> 00:15:51,250
these numbered clones are not intended
to inherit your primary consciousness
206
00:15:51,417 --> 00:15:55,875
and are generally used for labor,
organ donation, or long-term storage.
207
00:15:56,042 --> 00:15:59,042
It is common for back-ups to suffer deteriorations.
208
00:15:59,209 --> 00:16:01,792
One of your back-up copies will severely drool.
209
00:16:01,959 --> 00:16:05,000
But the only lineage you need to
worry about is your own:
210
00:16:05,167 --> 00:16:08,334
the one clone who will always
carry your primary consciousness.
211
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:12,334
David. Here is what I've learned so far
from your final clone's memory disc,
212
00:16:12,459 --> 00:16:14,084
recovered from Emily.
213
00:16:14,334 --> 00:16:17,417
Two generations from now, after the
invention of time travel,
214
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,750
one of your back-up copies will be employed
as a secret agent called a cleaner.
215
00:16:22,209 --> 00:16:26,209
A cleaner has the special ability to
travel in between time.
216
00:16:26,417 --> 00:16:30,417
It is helpful to think of time advancing
like the frames of an ancient cinema reel.
217
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:33,750
Cleaners have access to restricted technology
218
00:16:33,917 --> 00:16:37,167
that allows them to freely
move between the frames:
219
00:16:37,334 --> 00:16:40,875
In a shadow realm not even visible to view-screens.
220
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:44,125
With these tools, a construction crew of clones and robots
221
00:16:44,375 --> 00:16:47,750
can quietly work for decades in between time
222
00:16:47,875 --> 00:16:52,375
and build an entire city in what
appears to be an instant to the rest of us.
223
00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:55,875
The job of a cleaner is much more sinister.
224
00:16:56,042 --> 00:16:58,709
Shrouded in mystery, they monitor and resolve
225
00:16:58,875 --> 00:17:03,209
any problematic time travel paradoxes
that could be created by the public
226
00:17:03,375 --> 00:17:06,417
by quietly working behind the scenes.
227
00:17:06,584 --> 00:17:09,750
Cleaners are even rumored to carry out
secret assassinations
228
00:17:09,875 --> 00:17:13,875
whenever necessary to
maintain the balance of time
229
00:17:14,042 --> 00:17:17,750
using devices that spontaneously
induce heart failure
230
00:17:17,834 --> 00:17:19,500
or brain aneurysms.
231
00:17:20,167 --> 00:17:22,334
Clean, undetectable murders
232

233
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:29,625
Something bad happens
to your back-up clone, David.
234
00:17:29,792 --> 00:17:32,917
A time traveling job will
deliver him to the future
235
00:17:33,084 --> 00:17:36,709
where he will accidentally
cross paths with another David:
236
00:17:36,875 --> 00:17:39,042
Your future self.
237
00:17:39,209 --> 00:17:44,334
David 4 grows obsessed with this
David's life and follows him relentlessly.
238
00:17:44,875 --> 00:17:48,084
He falls in love with the woman
this clone is married to
239
00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:50,917
- a woman he met in a museum -
240
00:17:51,084 --> 00:17:52,417
Emily.
241
00:17:52,584 --> 00:17:54,667
He is haunted by her.
242
00:17:54,834 --> 00:17:58,000
There is something
impossibly familiar about her.
243
00:17:58,167 --> 00:18:02,167
He abandons his team and spends
endless days in between time,
244
00:18:02,834 --> 00:18:04,875
studying her face.
245
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:09,292
Drunk with jealousy, he hatches an evil plan.
246
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:14,625
David 4 will find the perfect moment
to murder future David,
247
00:18:14,792 --> 00:18:18,125
pull his body in between time
where it will be hidden forever,
248
00:18:18,292 --> 00:18:21,042
and instantly take his place in David's timeline
249
00:18:21,209 --> 00:18:22,375
while Emily's back is turned.
250
00:18:23,542 --> 00:18:27,042
We only know about this nefarious plot
because his source clone,
251
00:18:27,125 --> 00:18:30,667
your future self, that generation's David (his roommate),
252
00:18:30,750 --> 00:18:33,959
will read his diary: left behind in their apartment
253
00:18:34,042 --> 00:18:37,625
following David 4's unexplained
disappearance the night before.
254
00:18:37,792 --> 00:18:41,750
David realizes his future
is at stake: and in turn, yours.
255
00:18:41,917 --> 00:18:45,084
If David 4 succeeds in
murdering David's next self,
256
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:47,709
the direct lineage of your
consciousness will end forever
257
00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:50,667
and only the back-up Davids will live on.
258
00:18:50,834 --> 00:18:53,375
David also knows that David 4 would not murder him,
259
00:18:53,459 --> 00:18:56,417
as doing so would prevent the next David
from ever existing
260
00:18:56,584 --> 00:19:00,042
and therefore the opportunity for
any of them to ever meet Emily.
261
00:19:00,125 --> 00:19:02,875
But David also knows that he
cannot travel back in time
262
00:19:02,959 --> 00:19:06,459
to try and stop David 4 at any point in the past
263
00:19:06,625 --> 00:19:09,334
because David 4 would always be
one step ahead of him,
264
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:12,417
using his godlike powers
in in-between time.
265
00:19:12,709 --> 00:19:17,167
David decides that his only hope
is to find a way to travel in between time himself
266
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:21,417
and directly confront his back-up copy
in the in-between future.
267
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:24,500
He experiments with a consumer time travel pack.
268
00:19:25,084 --> 00:19:28,334
After many decades, he finally
tests his modified pack
269
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,792
on his remaining back-up copy.
270
00:19:30,959 --> 00:19:35,459
But it malfunctions and merely transports
his skeleton to an unknown location.
271
00:19:36,334 --> 00:19:38,292
Death was instantaneous.
272
00:19:38,792 --> 00:19:40,167
Probably.
273
00:19:41,209 --> 00:19:45,417
Out of money and options,
David desperately places himself in a stasis tube
274
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:47,875
for the maximum span of one hundred years
275
00:19:48,042 --> 00:19:50,250
in the hope that technology
will have advanced enough
276
00:19:50,334 --> 00:19:53,042
for him to find a way to travel between time.
277
00:19:53,167 --> 00:19:56,834
But the stasis tube seems to have only led
to further mental decline.
278
00:19:57,042 --> 00:19:59,875
He satirically places a young clone of himself in a museum
279
00:20:00,084 --> 00:20:04,167
and titles the display,
"Time is a Prison of Living Things"
280
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:08,542
It is unknown where or when David
creates his next primary clone.
281
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:11,709
It is unknown why that next David
did not act on these memories
282
00:20:11,875 --> 00:20:14,584
and continue working on
the time pack himself.
283
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:18,417
One day, our David simply vanishes
from the public record
284
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,917
but not before writing a message on his wall:
285
00:20:21,334 --> 00:20:24,917
"Death is not a destination.
It is the absence of one."
286
00:20:25,167 --> 00:20:27,875
I'm afraid this was all I was able to discover.
287
00:20:28,042 --> 00:20:32,042
The memories are a jumbled mess to me
and the emotions are very strong.
288
00:20:32,250 --> 00:20:34,917
Only your own brain can
play them back with any clarity
