1
00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:26,318
Acknowledgement
of a creation myth.

2
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:36,637
Before the world became
the world, it was an egg.

3
00:00:43,211 --> 00:00:45,213
Inside the egg was dark.

4
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:53,221
The rat nibbled the egg
and let the light in.

5
00:01:04,165 --> 00:01:05,533
And the world began.

6
00:02:00,521 --> 00:02:04,325
The adult Norway rat
can jump 32 inches high.

7
00:02:16,804 --> 00:02:20,174
Baltimore city trash cans
are 34 inches high.

8
00:02:48,369 --> 00:02:50,170
Presentation of a video game.

9
00:03:00,581 --> 00:03:04,184
A satellite map of Baltimore
is loaded into the program.

10
00:03:07,221 --> 00:03:08,989
A 3-D terrain is created.

11
00:03:14,628 --> 00:03:17,164
The user assumes the role
of a floating point

12
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:18,632
within the game.

13
00:03:24,305 --> 00:03:25,473
A null object.

14
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:36,750
Explanation of an experiment.

15
00:03:36,784 --> 00:03:39,086
Scientists place food
at the end of a maze.

16
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,256
A glass barrier is placed

17
00:03:42,290 --> 00:03:44,758
so the food can
be seen but not reached.

18
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:50,998
A rat runs the maze,
and is disappointed.

19
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:56,604
The rat sleeps,

20
00:03:56,637 --> 00:03:59,340
and the scientists record
its brain wave activity.

21
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:14,288
The scientists find
the same firing patterns

22
00:04:14,322 --> 00:04:16,089
of the neurons activated by

23
00:04:16,123 --> 00:04:19,927
the unreachable food are also
activated in its sleep.

24
00:04:22,696 --> 00:04:25,132
The rat is dreaming
of reaching the food.

25
00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:32,473
The rat is dreaming
of a desirable future.

26
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:34,775
A baby rat won't open its eyes

27
00:04:34,808 --> 00:04:36,477
until it's two weeks old.

28
00:04:39,146 --> 00:04:40,748
Does the blind rat dream?

29
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:31,832
Watch what I did.

30
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:35,035
You hear what I said?

31
00:05:36,704 --> 00:05:37,971
Please call me.

32
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:42,376
That's what I do.

33
00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:46,213
My name is Edmund,
but you ain't gonna get me.

34
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:47,515
You gonna get the switchboard,

35
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:48,916
but it's gonna be me,

36
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:50,684
because this is my neighborhood.

37
00:05:50,718 --> 00:05:53,020
This is my neighborhood,
I'm telling you.

38
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:54,522
It's gonna be a small thing

39
00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:56,289
to lay them down
for y'all, what.

40
00:06:00,594 --> 00:06:04,231
It ain't never been
a rat problem in Baltimore.

41
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:06,434
Always been a people problem.

42
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:08,902
And that ain't gonna change
until you educate the people.

43
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:14,107
This right here is Diatrac.

44
00:06:14,141 --> 00:06:17,344
I think it's one of the
favorite poisons for the guys,

45
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,379
because it's a no choice poison.

46
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:21,048
Most of the time,
we kill exactly

47
00:06:21,081 --> 00:06:22,182
what we trying to kill.

48
00:06:24,251 --> 00:06:27,187
We inject the poison
right into the hole with them,

49
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:29,389
and it coats the whole lining
of the hole.

50
00:06:29,423 --> 00:06:32,059
So, they gonna bump
into it and hit it.

51
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:35,563
And as they say, "Wow, okay, look at me.
I'm dirty now."

52
00:06:35,596 --> 00:06:37,631
Let me groom."

53
00:06:37,665 --> 00:06:40,934
And we get them.
They don't have a choice.

54
00:06:40,968 --> 00:06:43,471
No choice, that's what I meant
when I said no choice.

55
00:06:43,504 --> 00:06:47,374
No, let me stop. No, um...

56
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:51,044
I work for the Baltimore
city rat roto program.

57
00:06:51,078 --> 00:06:53,280
Basically what we do is...

58
00:06:53,313 --> 00:06:56,617
we come out, we assess...

59
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:03,657
what people believe
to be rat problems.

60
00:07:03,691 --> 00:07:08,328
We project
what we can do and possibly

61
00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:09,830
how we can help them.

62
00:07:09,863 --> 00:07:11,532
And then we try
to correct the problem.

63
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,769
Basically, basically.

64
00:07:22,976 --> 00:07:28,482
1911, Baltimore city
enacts a resolution.

65
00:07:28,516 --> 00:07:31,919
Quote, "An ordinance
for preserving peace",

66
00:07:31,952 --> 00:07:34,121
preventing conflict
and ill feeling

67
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:38,659
"between the white and colored
races in Baltimore city."

68
00:07:38,692 --> 00:07:40,327
The law prohibits
blacks from moving

69
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,496
into majority
white neighborhoods,

70
00:07:42,530 --> 00:07:46,934
and whites from moving into
majority black neighborhoods.

71
00:07:46,967 --> 00:07:49,136
It is a desperate attempt
by the government

72
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:53,140
to halt the rapid integration
of the city.

73
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:56,176
It is the nation's first
legislation of its kind.

74
00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:05,385
Six years later, a Supreme Court

75
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:08,355
decision rules residential
segregation ordinances

76
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:12,526
unconstitutional, and the
legislation is struck down.

77
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:18,966
Segregation moves
to the private sector.

78
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:25,573
Upscale white neighborhoods
maintain racial homogeneity

79
00:08:25,606 --> 00:08:28,241
by forming covenants
that require new homeowners

80
00:08:28,275 --> 00:08:31,344
to sign contracts
barring the sale of homes

81
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:33,380
to black or minority homeowners.

82
00:08:35,916 --> 00:08:40,020
A map, deliberately frozen.

83
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:42,255
Its boundaries strain
with the pressures

84
00:08:42,289 --> 00:08:44,758
of the growing city.

85
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:37,177
Okay, now can you see my hands?

86
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:40,981
Okay, we'll do like this.

87
00:09:41,014 --> 00:09:43,150
This beer that I got right here.

88
00:09:43,183 --> 00:09:44,551
This beer that I got.

89
00:09:46,754 --> 00:09:49,890
Yeah. This... this...
And this is a 25-ounce can,

90
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:52,092
Natty Daddy. Natty Boh.

91
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:54,427
Let's put two of them together.

92
00:09:54,461 --> 00:09:56,096
No exaggeration.

93
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:59,432
Put two
of these cans together, right?

94
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:03,971
Okay. Well, let's stay one
and half of these cans.

95
00:10:04,004 --> 00:10:07,808
Okay, that's just a body
from the head to the ass.

96
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:10,443
The tail.

97
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:14,181
The tail reminds
me of, like, an iguana.

98
00:10:14,214 --> 00:10:20,020
Yes, and so slow,

99
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:23,490
you know, just an old-timer
that's been around.

100
00:10:23,523 --> 00:10:25,425
Yeah, got little knicks and shit

101
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,627
where it's been up in the cars.

102
00:10:27,661 --> 00:10:29,773
Where they start the engines
up and a fan belt hit them.

103
00:10:29,797 --> 00:10:32,532
The fan hits them
and knick them and shit.

104
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:35,135
Yeah, been around. Soldiers.

105
00:10:35,168 --> 00:10:37,128
That's how... yeah,
that's how big I've seen them.

106
00:10:39,673 --> 00:10:42,509
A confidential
Rockefeller Foundation report

107
00:10:42,542 --> 00:10:44,377
names a gaping vulnerability

108
00:10:44,411 --> 00:10:47,114
in America's World War II
defense effort.

109
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:49,616
Quote, "There is
fear that the enemy"

110
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,819
might resort to germ warfare,

111
00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:54,922
"using rats to spread bubonic
plague throughout city centers."

112
00:10:56,356 --> 00:10:59,827
War is declared
on the Norway rat.

113
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:02,029
Traditional rat poison
used a compound

114
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:04,131
derived
from the red squill plant.

115
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:06,299
However, red squill only grew

116
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:09,302
on the Greek shores
of the Mediterranean.

117
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:14,074
A territory locked off
by Axis German control.

118
00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:16,643
Americans were left
without a rat poison.

119
00:11:19,012 --> 00:11:22,415
Enter Dr. Curt Richter,
a prominent scientist

120
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:25,552
at Johns Hopkins University
in Baltimore.

121
00:11:25,585 --> 00:11:27,420
Richter's work primarily focused

122
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:30,824
on the biological roots
of behavior.

123
00:11:30,858 --> 00:11:34,327
Particularly with
his favorite test subject,

124
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:35,528
the rat.

125
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:40,400
During an experiment
on the inheritance properties

126
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:43,070
of taste response
to phenylthiourea,

127
00:11:43,103 --> 00:11:45,773
Richter made
a surprising discovery.

128
00:11:45,806 --> 00:11:49,542
The compound was tested
on a group of lab rats.

129
00:11:49,576 --> 00:11:51,812
In the morning,
they were all dead.

130
00:11:53,981 --> 00:11:55,783
A new candidate for rat poison

131
00:11:55,816 --> 00:11:56,917
had been found.

132
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,054
There are two key factors
when considering

133
00:12:01,088 --> 00:12:02,722
a new rat poison.

134
00:12:02,756 --> 00:12:06,426
One, the poison must
be attractive to rats.

135
00:12:06,459 --> 00:12:08,996
Two, it must only kill rats.

136
00:12:11,965 --> 00:12:13,901
As large enough doses in humans

137
00:12:13,934 --> 00:12:15,735
merely induced vomiting,

138
00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:18,705
Richter argued that it was
safe for widespread use.

139
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:23,476
Because the proprietary
formula remained

140
00:12:23,510 --> 00:12:25,612
a closely guarded secret,

141
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:27,915
government safety inspections
were never conducted.

142
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:32,820
In 1942, with funding
from both the city

143
00:12:32,853 --> 00:12:34,621
and the Rockefeller Foundation,

144
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:36,489
a field trial was initiated

145
00:12:36,523 --> 00:12:38,558
in the primarily
black neighborhood,

146
00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:41,128
surrounding
Johns Hopkins Hospital.

147
00:12:41,161 --> 00:12:43,864
An area frequently used
for public health studies.

148
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:49,702
Within days, hundreds of
dead rats lined the streets.

149
00:12:51,671 --> 00:12:53,841
These photos, gathered by

150
00:12:53,874 --> 00:12:56,343
the Baltimore Citizens Planning
and Housing Commission,

151
00:12:56,376 --> 00:12:59,079
were taken to document
the deteriorating conditions

152
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:01,614
of the city's slum districts.

153
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:03,083
There were used as evidence

154
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,985
in targeting high-impact areas

155
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:07,520
for Baltimore's
rodent control project,

156
00:13:07,554 --> 00:13:10,223
the first government
pest program in the nation.

157
00:13:11,992 --> 00:13:14,461
At its helm,
Dr. Curt P. Richter.

158
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:46,293
One, two, three, four.

00:14:52,993 --> 00:14:55,395
Yeah, baby, shall we do it?

181
00:15:17,117 --> 00:15:19,719
Quote, "If someone
were to give me"

182
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:21,388
the power to create an animal

183
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:24,257
most useful for all types
of studies on problems

184
00:15:24,291 --> 00:15:26,293
concerned with human welfare,

185
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:30,263
"I could not possibly improve
on the Norway rat."

186
00:15:30,297 --> 00:15:31,931
Dr. Curt P. Richter.

187
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:37,137
Qualifications
for an ideal model.

188
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:41,841
The Norway rat's dietary needs

189
00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:45,245
are very nearly
the same as a human.

190
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:47,614
It is a stable
and predictable creature.

191
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:53,653
Its small size make
it perfect for handling

192
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,955
in all types
of surgical procedures.

193
00:15:58,525 --> 00:16:01,194
The short life span,
typically two to three years

194
00:16:01,228 --> 00:16:02,829
in a laboratory environment,

195
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:04,864
make it an ideal candidate
for studies

196
00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:09,302
concerning growth,
development, and aging.

197
00:16:13,673 --> 00:16:17,177
Additionally, the rat's
cultural position as a pest

198
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:20,013
make it less sympathetic
of an experimental subject

199
00:16:20,047 --> 00:16:25,085
than other animals, such as
dogs, cats, and monkeys.

200
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:36,496
Hole here, hole over there.

201
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:38,631
And a hole...
See it right in here?

202
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:41,201
All them holes right here,
coming from out of this cement.

203
00:16:41,234 --> 00:16:43,236
That's where the rats
coming from.

204
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:45,348
- I ain't do nothing.
- I ain't saying nothing...

205
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:48,175
Relax. Relax. I'm just tired.

206
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:50,853
I mean, I can't even bring... I can't
even come out here and hang out clothes.

207
00:16:50,877 --> 00:16:51,978
I didn't do it. Calm.

208
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,813
And we... we not the only one...

209
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:56,049
I'm not the only one
who has rats.

210
00:16:56,083 --> 00:16:58,151
They have rats. See the yard?

211
00:16:58,185 --> 00:16:59,919
See the yard?

212
00:16:59,952 --> 00:17:01,697
- The one on the corner has rats.
- I love them.

213
00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:04,691
Well, you keep on loving them.
They put food on my table.

214
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:07,060
They put shit on your...
You mean a muskrat?

215
00:17:07,094 --> 00:17:08,861
Huh? Oh, you mean killing them?

216
00:17:08,895 --> 00:17:11,598
Yeah. They food on your table.

217
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:13,666
I love them. But it don't
put food on my table

218
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,868
to have rats coming...
I got children.

219
00:17:15,902 --> 00:17:19,038
I can't have... I can't come out
with these children, you know?

220
00:17:19,072 --> 00:17:20,240
So otherwise than that,

221
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,041
I got to get this shit together.

222
00:17:22,075 --> 00:17:25,178
I mean, they even died off and
then ate the portions and shit.

223
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:27,614
Last year,
I kept on putting down...

224
00:17:27,647 --> 00:17:29,582
Putting it with peanut butter.

225
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:31,184
And they wasn't eating it.

226
00:17:31,218 --> 00:17:32,685
And I said, "You know what?"

227
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:34,921
I'mma... I will slick
the damn rat this time."

228
00:17:34,954 --> 00:17:36,732
So what I did, I will slick
to them that time.

229
00:17:36,756 --> 00:17:38,925
Last year, what I did...
I did the same thing,

230
00:17:38,958 --> 00:17:41,961
I put the barbeque sauce, mixed
it in with the rat poison

231
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:43,530
and put it right on the hole.

232
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:45,765
That's what in there now,
that why they eating it.

233
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:47,910
Here's what happened, baby, here's
what happened in a nutshell.

234
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:49,769
What?

235
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:52,239
You was going with the peanut
butter for quite a while.

236
00:17:52,272 --> 00:17:54,049
No, I only went...
They figured it out.

237
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:56,576
Listen to what I'm saying.
They figured it out.

238
00:17:56,609 --> 00:17:59,312
They said, "Every time we mess
with this peanut butter stuff",

239
00:17:59,346 --> 00:18:00,780
we in trouble."

240
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:02,815
So, now that you
tried something different,

241
00:18:02,849 --> 00:18:04,760
I got it now. That's right, that's right.
It don't matter

242
00:18:04,784 --> 00:18:06,262
what you mix with it...
That is right.

243
00:18:06,286 --> 00:18:08,288
If it's poison,
you must make it attractive.

244
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:10,166
That's right, and that's what I did.
Or else they're not

245
00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:12,925
going to eat it. I put that
barbeque sauce on there,

246
00:18:12,959 --> 00:18:14,594
made it attractive,
and got them.

247
00:18:14,627 --> 00:18:15,904
Ask them d-Con people.
I really did.

248
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:17,830
D-Con ain't doing shit.

249
00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:19,642
It's been on the market for
a thousand years. Call me.

250
00:18:19,666 --> 00:18:21,334
Call me, I'm the d-Con woman.

251
00:18:21,368 --> 00:18:23,670
It been on the
market for a billion years.

252
00:18:23,703 --> 00:18:25,614
Them guys can eat that stuff
and just keep going.

253
00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:28,608
I'm telling you.
Finish having a wonderful day.

254
00:18:28,641 --> 00:18:31,144
I'm gonna try and do that.
Please do.

255
00:18:31,178 --> 00:18:33,280
Yep, yep, yep, gonna
get rid of them rats.

256
00:18:33,313 --> 00:18:34,823
Got to get rid of them rats.
Yes, ma'am.

257
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:36,583
Got to get rid of them rats.

258
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:38,818
- The pleasure was all mine.
- Thank you.

259
00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:40,520
All right.

260
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:43,122
Lot of times,
we trying to get in,

261
00:18:43,156 --> 00:18:46,426
and get out, anyway we can.

262
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:48,595
So, now when I put down
on my paperwork

263
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,463
that I was here for 25 minutes,

264
00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:53,933
my boss will be telling me,
"Really?"

265
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:57,770
Really. Really.

266
00:19:00,540 --> 00:19:03,310
Sometimes, people
slip through the cracks.

267
00:19:03,343 --> 00:19:04,577
I think that's what that was.

268
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:06,979
And then cracks.

269
00:20:57,990 --> 00:20:59,859
The laboratory changes the rat.

270
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:04,130
Among traits noted
by Dr. Richter

271
00:21:04,163 --> 00:21:08,801
in domesticated versus wild
Norway rat populations,

272
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:11,604
a shrinking of adrenals,

273
00:21:11,638 --> 00:21:14,307
smaller organs,
such as the liver,

274
00:21:14,341 --> 00:21:17,410
the heart, and the brain.

275
00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:19,679
Aversion to physical activity,

276
00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:21,314
submissiveness to restraint.

277
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,852
Richter believed his findings

278
00:21:25,885 --> 00:21:28,120
had a wider impact
than just the lab.

279
00:21:31,691 --> 00:21:33,426
In a paper titled, "Rats, Man",

280
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:34,861
and the Welfare State,"

281
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:36,863
Richter argued
that the modern comforts

282
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:39,432
of living afforded by
technological progress

283
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:41,334
and social welfare programs

284
00:21:41,368 --> 00:21:43,636
had led to a crippling
of man's abilities.

285
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:51,177
War had been declared
on the rat once again.

286
00:22:01,754 --> 00:22:03,490
Critics were quick to point out

287
00:22:03,523 --> 00:22:06,559
the eugenic implications
of Dr. Richter's work.

288
00:22:06,593 --> 00:22:10,029
A rebuttal letter published
in the American Psychologist,

289
00:22:10,062 --> 00:22:12,365
quote, "As I recall",

290
00:22:12,399 --> 00:22:14,834
two other gentlemen
named Hitler and Stalin

291
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:18,170
agreed upon a somewhat
similar philosophy.

292
00:22:18,204 --> 00:22:20,540
Richter, like
the aforementioned gentlemen,

293
00:22:20,573 --> 00:22:23,976
misses the whole point
of civilization.

294
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:26,212
The merit of science
lies in the fact

295
00:22:26,245 --> 00:22:27,980
that where it can not modify

296
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:29,982
the individual to meet
the environment,

297
00:22:30,016 --> 00:22:31,684
it offers hope of modifying

298
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:34,053
"the environment
to meet the individual."

299
00:23:35,181 --> 00:23:36,849
Check this one out, yeah.

300
00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:52,799
All right, so,
this is what I use for

301
00:23:52,832 --> 00:23:55,101
rat hunting
in the backyard here.

302
00:23:55,134 --> 00:23:59,672
Um, this is, uh, my customized
zebrawood handle.

303
00:23:59,706 --> 00:24:05,311
It's a, uh, single shot,
.177 caliber pellet rifle.

304
00:24:05,344 --> 00:24:08,014
It does about
800 feet per second.

305
00:24:08,047 --> 00:24:12,251
And, um, it's pretty fun
when I'm feeling sporty.

306
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:16,422
You only get one shot, so...
usually if you miss,

307
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:19,692
they run away and then you
have to, you know, reload it.

308
00:24:19,726 --> 00:24:21,427
And they're gone, so.

309
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:26,566
And I got a "Property
of the rat czar" on this one.

310
00:24:31,504 --> 00:24:34,841
And then this is one
of the original rifles

311
00:24:34,874 --> 00:24:37,143
that I... I used this
as a kid, basically.

312
00:24:37,176 --> 00:24:41,113
Um, used to shoot rabbits
for sport in Pennsylvania.

313
00:24:41,147 --> 00:24:45,051
And, um, these are
good old Pumpmaster 760s

314
00:24:45,084 --> 00:24:49,455
that you can just buy
at Walmart for $22, I think.

315
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:52,158
And, um,
they... they work pretty well.

316
00:24:52,191 --> 00:24:53,993
Um, this one
I put a laser sight on.

317
00:24:54,026 --> 00:24:56,829
So, it's, um,
wherever that laser is,

318
00:24:56,863 --> 00:24:58,698
is where the pellet goes,

319
00:24:58,731 --> 00:25:02,401
and, um, I can basically
do head shots with this one.

320
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,405
They're... they're pretty... pretty great.
There's one right...

321
00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:08,040
There's one right now.

322
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:13,813
We're gonna get
something tonight, boys.

323
00:25:17,416 --> 00:25:22,655
This is a version of this,
that I just...

324
00:25:24,724 --> 00:25:27,259
Here we go, we're gonna use
the blowgun.

325
00:25:27,293 --> 00:25:28,895
Where'd he go?

326
00:25:32,865 --> 00:25:34,400
This is a blowgun.

327
00:25:34,433 --> 00:25:37,770
It shoots six-inch
prod-hit tips.

328
00:25:37,804 --> 00:25:40,740
And it'll go right through him.
No suffering.

329
00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:43,910
Now, this is, uh,
this is what they look like.

330
00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:48,114
They're, uh, basically, uh...

331
00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:50,516
the same thing
that you would do with a deer.

332
00:25:53,285 --> 00:25:54,285
We're gonna get him.

333
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:01,292
Ooh.

334
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:08,668
If we wait right here,
he's gonna pop his head out.

335
00:26:48,641 --> 00:26:49,876
He'll be back.

336
00:26:58,017 --> 00:26:59,451
Here, here.

337
00:27:24,410 --> 00:27:26,245
Okay, well, basically...

338
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,982
basically a live pinkie.

339
00:27:30,016 --> 00:27:33,619
Most... all of mine eat frozen
thawed pinkies anyways,

340
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:36,956
but when I'm at a show,
I don't like putting

341
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:40,626
the frozen thawed in there
because it gets hot,

342
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:43,295
and it goes bad quickly.

343
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:48,267
So, this is what I feed
the snakes when I'm at a show.

344
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:54,506
And most of the time,
I use tweezers.

345
00:27:56,175 --> 00:28:01,080
I go through...
I normally get 300

346
00:28:01,113 --> 00:28:04,884
live pinkies and fuzzies a week.

347
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:09,822
And I then go through another
200 larger mice a week.

348
00:28:13,125 --> 00:28:17,129
The way I look at it, the
same creator created them.

349
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:12,151
What?

350
00:29:12,184 --> 00:29:13,886
Zoom in.

351
00:29:42,181 --> 00:29:44,283
All right, man,
so we're going to go to

352
00:29:44,316 --> 00:29:47,253
the local convenience store,

353
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:52,892
uh, to get some peanut butter, you know,
or either some, you know, some raw meat.

354
00:29:54,493 --> 00:29:58,297
Uh, just so
they're attracted to smell.

355
00:29:58,330 --> 00:30:01,000
For some odd reason,
they love peanut butter.

356
00:30:01,033 --> 00:30:03,735
So, let's see what they got.

357
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:07,306
All right.

358
00:30:12,845 --> 00:30:14,313
What's going on, buddy?
How are you?

359
00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:18,050
You guys have lunch meat?

360
00:30:18,084 --> 00:30:20,786
Lunch meat? MAN ♪2:
Yeah, like turkey breast?

361
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,154
We have turkey breast.

362
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:23,689
Turkey breast?
Turkey breast is great.

363
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:27,759
Uh, peanut butter. Good.

364
00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:30,462
Extra crunchy.

365
00:30:36,903 --> 00:30:38,013
We're going to get
a quarter pound

366
00:30:38,037 --> 00:30:39,138
of turkey breast, man.

367
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:40,907
Yes, sir.

368
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:44,676
Yeah, I guess turkey has
a stronger odor to it,

369
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:47,179
or, you know, oil-based.

370
00:30:47,213 --> 00:30:48,814
Kind of like chicken.

371
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:52,018
And, um, peanut butter
just gives it that extra...

372
00:30:52,051 --> 00:30:54,353
I guess that pasty taste.

373
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:56,688
Something that's going
to stick their bones, I guess.

374
00:30:56,722 --> 00:30:58,233
All right, good luck again.
All right, man.

375
00:30:58,257 --> 00:31:00,927
Thank you. All right, let's go.
Take it easy.

376
00:31:03,129 --> 00:31:04,897
It's probably fucking
one of them cop shows

377
00:31:04,931 --> 00:31:07,333
or something, man.

378
00:31:07,366 --> 00:31:10,369
So, let's probably ride around
the back this way.

379
00:31:10,402 --> 00:31:12,471
Yeah. See if we can find
a rat this way.

380
00:31:15,107 --> 00:31:17,176
Look at this...
Look at this shit.

381
00:31:17,209 --> 00:31:21,447
Look at this.
Trash, mess, heat, warmth.

382
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,725
Ooh, look at this, hell yeah, look
at this, look at this, look at this,

383
00:31:23,749 --> 00:31:24,750
this is perfect.

384
00:31:24,783 --> 00:31:26,452
Look at the rats right there.

385
00:31:26,485 --> 00:31:28,587
There's a rat there.
There's a rat over there.

386
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:31,123
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

387
00:31:31,157 --> 00:31:33,359
Want to see if we can park here?

388
00:31:33,392 --> 00:31:34,927
It's car packed.

389
00:31:34,961 --> 00:31:36,601
Yeah, we're just going
to pull right here.

390
00:31:38,797 --> 00:31:40,732
They running all back
through there, man.

391
00:31:40,766 --> 00:31:42,634
Look, look, this is perfect.

392
00:31:42,668 --> 00:31:44,303
This is perfect,
there's one right here.

393
00:31:44,336 --> 00:31:47,806
Like, literally right here.
You see it?

394
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,542
- Shit.
- There's one here.

395
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,178
There's a few back there.

396
00:31:55,147 --> 00:31:58,350
Like, there's one round
here on the side.

397
00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:00,686
Running across.

398
00:32:05,157 --> 00:32:07,559
Yes, man, let's, uh,
let's bait up.

399
00:32:07,593 --> 00:32:09,395
Let's bait up.

400
00:32:09,428 --> 00:32:10,868
All right, so,
what we're gonna do...

401
00:32:12,331 --> 00:32:15,267
Right now, I got...
I have a double hook.

402
00:32:15,301 --> 00:32:18,537
So, basically,
I get two chances.

403
00:32:20,372 --> 00:32:23,142
So, same thing
if you was fishing for spot,

404
00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:24,943
perch, bass.

405
00:32:24,977 --> 00:32:28,014
You know, anything
of that sort, you know.

406
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:31,617
Normally, the bigger the bait,
the bigger the fish.

407
00:32:31,650 --> 00:32:33,785
So, I'm basically
weaving the meat.

408
00:32:33,819 --> 00:32:37,323
Uh, and then, I'm gonna take
some of this peanut butter.

409
00:32:37,356 --> 00:32:40,993
Gonna open that thing like that.

410
00:32:41,027 --> 00:32:46,498
And if we could, we're just gonna...
we're gonna dip to peanut chunks.

411
00:32:46,532 --> 00:32:47,933
Might dip your finger in it.

412
00:32:49,701 --> 00:32:53,905
Um, we kind of see
if we can kick it up.

413
00:32:57,043 --> 00:32:59,778
Oh, that's... that's a slugger.
That's a Louisville slugger.

414
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:02,948
- Get one on the hook and take one out.
- So...

415
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:05,884
So, as soon as
we get them, gone.

416
00:33:05,917 --> 00:33:09,055
All right, so basically,
at this point now,

417
00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:11,057
we're gonna just cast out.

418
00:33:11,090 --> 00:33:14,360
Kind of on the right side.
Uh, one...

419
00:33:17,863 --> 00:33:22,701
Uh, there we go.
We're still connected.

420
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:25,337
And basically,
we're gonna sit and wait.

421
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:28,074
Just got to be patient,
you got to be real patient.

422
00:33:28,107 --> 00:33:30,809
Got to kind of, like,
keep your cool.

423
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:32,311
Yes, here they come.

424
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:34,180
Once again, you gotta keep
your line tight.

425
00:33:47,226 --> 00:33:49,595
That's where
you're gonna find a rat.

426
00:33:49,628 --> 00:33:55,367
In the places where...
most uneducated people are.

427
00:33:57,035 --> 00:34:00,806
The ones who have the least,
the least resources.

428
00:34:03,242 --> 00:34:06,912
The people who have no dreams,
no aspirations.

429
00:34:06,945 --> 00:34:09,748
Just surviving.

430
00:34:09,781 --> 00:34:12,751
That's basically where
you're gonna find them guys.

431
00:34:12,784 --> 00:34:14,986
That's it in a nutshell.

432
00:34:18,157 --> 00:34:20,058
Them guys are sharp, though.

433
00:34:20,092 --> 00:34:21,693
I like them 'cause
they got one mission.

434
00:34:21,727 --> 00:34:23,795
Ain't gonna see no rats

435
00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:29,268
educated nowhere or trying to move
to Beverly Hills or...

436
00:34:29,301 --> 00:34:31,603
They do what they do,
wherever they at.

437
00:34:31,637 --> 00:34:33,239
How did this happen?

438
00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:35,741
So, I gotta go
all the way back up.

439
00:34:35,774 --> 00:34:40,546
604, Canning.
How did this happen?

440
00:34:40,579 --> 00:34:42,448
How did this happen?
How did this happen?

441
00:34:42,481 --> 00:34:44,483
How did this happen? Let me see.

442
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:47,986
What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong here?

443
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:50,756
All right,
let's turn this around.

444
00:35:33,299 --> 00:35:36,768
1951, a confidential.

445
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:39,771
Rockefeller Foundation report
lists the weaknesses

446
00:35:39,805 --> 00:35:42,874
of Curt Richter's
poisoning program.

447
00:35:42,908 --> 00:35:44,876
"Killing procedures
merely make room"

448
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:46,545
for more rats to grow up.

449
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:48,280
And actually increase the yield

450
00:35:48,314 --> 00:35:52,284
"of rat flesh
per acre, per year."

451
00:35:52,318 --> 00:35:56,455
Quote, "Killing them proved
an almost endless, tedious",

452
00:35:56,488 --> 00:35:58,924
high repetitive,
and expensive job."

453
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,862
Enter Dr. David E. Davis,

454
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:07,333
a colleague of Dr. Richter's
at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.

455
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:12,838
If Dr. Richter's work tried
to bring nature into the lab,

456
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:16,107
Davis tried to bring
the lab into nature.

457
00:36:19,578 --> 00:36:21,813
Davis' fieldwork
meticulously mapped

458
00:36:21,847 --> 00:36:25,384
the distribution of rats
in the urban environment,

459
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:30,356
charting their movements across
yards, fences, and alleyways.

460
00:36:32,891 --> 00:36:37,496
Organism and environment
were impossible to separate.

461
00:36:37,529 --> 00:36:39,831
All elements in a given system

462
00:36:39,865 --> 00:36:42,167
had to be studied
in conversation with itself.

463
00:36:46,305 --> 00:36:48,006
This ecological approach

464
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,175
expanded the focus
of rodent control

465
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,578
into the human environment
that supported them.

466
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:58,083
Human factors
such as trash pickup,

467
00:36:58,116 --> 00:37:00,218
the prevalence
of vacant housing,

468
00:37:00,252 --> 00:37:03,889
access to water, and adequacy
of sewage systems

469
00:37:03,922 --> 00:37:05,724
became objects of study

470
00:37:05,757 --> 00:37:08,427
for their effects
on rat populations.

471
00:37:08,460 --> 00:37:10,796
By controlling
these human factors,

472
00:37:10,829 --> 00:37:14,099
Davis found, rat populations
could be curbed

473
00:37:14,132 --> 00:37:16,435
and eventually eliminated
or stabilized

474
00:37:16,468 --> 00:37:20,238
at a sustainable level.

475
00:37:20,272 --> 00:37:24,376
A link. Control the
environment, control the rats.

476
00:37:27,012 --> 00:37:29,080
Davis' findings shifted policy

477
00:37:29,114 --> 00:37:31,149
and funding
from poisoning programs

478
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:34,553
to bringing city blocks up to
newly instated housing codes.

479
00:37:37,456 --> 00:37:40,158
Dr. Davis, a quote,

480
00:37:40,191 --> 00:37:43,161
"The beauty of this
ecological method of control"

481
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:45,831
is that improves the housing
and living conditions

482
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:47,966
of the human population

483
00:37:47,999 --> 00:37:50,602
"in addition to reducing
the rat population."

484
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:01,079
A defunded Dr. Curt Richter

485
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:04,149
vehemently opposed
any ecological approach,

486
00:38:04,182 --> 00:38:06,918
calling Davis' methods
purely defensive.

487
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:11,523
Killing rats, he argued,

488
00:38:11,557 --> 00:38:15,126
required an offensive solution.

489
00:39:05,377 --> 00:39:06,712
I don't know where she is.

490
00:39:16,755 --> 00:39:19,157
In here. Hello?

491
00:39:26,264 --> 00:39:27,899
Yeah.

492
00:39:34,305 --> 00:39:36,775
She's under the sofa
or inside the sofa.

493
00:39:38,944 --> 00:39:42,213
Hey! Yeah, she's looking at you.

494
00:39:42,247 --> 00:39:45,350
Hey.

495
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:47,218
Hey. Come on, gal.

496
00:39:47,252 --> 00:39:48,754
Hey.

497
00:39:53,892 --> 00:39:54,926
Hey.

498
00:40:04,302 --> 00:40:06,104
Okay, okay, let's go.

499
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:08,507
Back to the cage.

500
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:16,381
Okay, so where were we?

501
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:20,085
Ah, ratproofing the room.
So, yeah, this is our playroom.

502
00:40:20,118 --> 00:40:23,288
Where our rats
get their free-range time.

503
00:40:23,321 --> 00:40:25,924
Usually I give them at least
an hour, hour and a half

504
00:40:25,957 --> 00:40:28,093
a day, as much as I can,
as much as time allows.

505
00:40:28,126 --> 00:40:31,129
- You're very generous.
- Yes, I'm generous.

506
00:40:31,162 --> 00:40:34,165
Um, I guarded off the entrances

507
00:40:34,199 --> 00:40:36,502
to the... uh, to this living room

508
00:40:36,535 --> 00:40:39,070
with that two boxes,
one here and one here

509
00:40:39,104 --> 00:40:40,639
so they cannot escape,

510
00:40:40,672 --> 00:40:43,408
either upstairs
or to the garage.

511
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:47,979
And, uh, then there were
a couple of issues

512
00:40:48,013 --> 00:40:50,248
with, uh, electric cords.

513
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:53,785
Um, this TV stand has to be...

514
00:40:53,819 --> 00:40:55,487
Um, I had to use some Coroplast,

515
00:40:55,521 --> 00:40:57,355
which is a durable

516
00:40:57,388 --> 00:41:00,759
sort of plastic supposed to be
impervious to rat's teeth.

517
00:41:00,792 --> 00:41:01,827
Turns out not.

518
00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:03,461
They pick on it bit by bit

519
00:41:03,495 --> 00:41:05,997
and they can chew through it,
eventually.

520
00:41:06,031 --> 00:41:09,868
Uh, so, I... I bought
some new panels and, uh,

521
00:41:09,901 --> 00:41:12,704
installed double in places.

522
00:41:12,738 --> 00:41:16,775
Um, and, uh, still,
I have to watch them

523
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:17,852
when they are free-ranging.

524
00:41:17,876 --> 00:41:19,477
I have to make sure

525
00:41:19,511 --> 00:41:22,213
they don't jump on it because
they can jump very high.

526
00:41:22,247 --> 00:41:27,185
Um, one other thing is the
cable here for this lamp.

527
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:29,354
Um, not much I could do here,
just tape it

528
00:41:29,387 --> 00:41:31,289
a little bit higher
so it doesn't draw

529
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:35,627
their attention and... and
they don't try to chew on it.

530
00:41:35,661 --> 00:41:40,198
Um, so that's it, every...
every other door is locked.

531
00:41:40,231 --> 00:41:41,909
They have... there are no holes
in the walls.

532
00:41:41,933 --> 00:41:43,468
I inspected everything.

533
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:46,538
Um, supposed to be
safe for them.

534
00:42:25,777 --> 00:42:27,078
My name is Bruce Goldfarb,

535
00:42:27,112 --> 00:42:28,222
and I'm the executive assistant

536
00:42:28,246 --> 00:42:29,881
to the chief medical examiner

537
00:42:29,915 --> 00:42:32,550
for the state of Maryland
in Baltimore city.

538
00:42:32,584 --> 00:42:35,053
This is the room that holds

539
00:42:35,086 --> 00:42:37,623
the nutshell studies
of unexplained death.

540
00:42:37,656 --> 00:42:40,391
Which are, uh,
miniature dioramas

541
00:42:40,425 --> 00:42:41,927
that are used
to train police officers

542
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,296
in crime scene investigation.

543
00:42:45,330 --> 00:42:47,933
They were made the 1930s and 40s

544
00:42:47,966 --> 00:42:51,102
by a rich socialite by the name

545
00:42:51,136 --> 00:42:54,539
of Frances Glessner Lee,
who lived in Chicago,

546
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:58,576
and had a long and abiding
interest in forensic medicine.

547
00:42:58,610 --> 00:43:01,713
She was extremely bright,
well-read.

548
00:43:01,747 --> 00:43:04,082
Traveled Europe,
introduced as a debutante

549
00:43:04,115 --> 00:43:08,820
and, uh, was expected to live the
life of a socialite and get married.

550
00:43:08,854 --> 00:43:11,589
And, um, I don't think that
was quite her interest.

551
00:43:11,623 --> 00:43:12,758
She had other interests.

552
00:43:15,593 --> 00:43:18,196
She is, you know,
the mother of CSI.

553
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:26,071
Each one of these costs what it
costs to build a real house.

554
00:43:26,104 --> 00:43:27,438
And they were built by

555
00:43:27,472 --> 00:43:29,607
authentic construction methods

556
00:43:29,641 --> 00:43:31,801
and they took as long as it
took to build a real house.

557
00:43:35,847 --> 00:43:37,649
There's a worn spot in front
of the toilet.

558
00:43:37,683 --> 00:43:39,584
And there's a worn spot
in front of the door.

559
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:40,952
And there's schmutz coming up

560
00:43:40,986 --> 00:43:43,088
the wall from the heating vent,

561
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:46,424
and... and, you know, she... she spent
enough time in this bathroom,

562
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:47,959
or a bathroom like it,

563
00:43:47,993 --> 00:43:51,697
to know that there would be a...

564
00:43:51,730 --> 00:43:53,298
I'm sure Frances never
in her life

565
00:43:53,331 --> 00:43:55,133
ever used a toilet like that.

566
00:43:55,166 --> 00:43:58,804
Um, and, uh, you know,
it's... she approaches this

567
00:43:58,837 --> 00:44:01,272
with such empathy,

568
00:44:01,306 --> 00:44:03,942
uh, for these people
in their lives.

569
00:44:05,911 --> 00:44:08,780
These are people who
don't ordinarily have

570
00:44:08,814 --> 00:44:12,383
their lives depicted in art.

571
00:44:12,417 --> 00:44:15,186
'Cause it's not only
these death scenes,

572
00:44:15,220 --> 00:44:17,388
but also
it's a... it's a snapshot

573
00:44:17,422 --> 00:44:18,857
into these people's lives.

574
00:44:18,890 --> 00:44:20,658
It's a moment in time frozen.

575
00:44:23,729 --> 00:44:25,797
You know, a lot of people,
when they look at these,

576
00:44:25,831 --> 00:44:28,399
it's a sort of an innate,
automatic thing to solve them.

577
00:44:28,433 --> 00:44:30,135
People want a solution.

578
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:32,470
They want answers, they want
to know what happened.

579
00:44:32,503 --> 00:44:34,372
These are not meant
to be solved.

580
00:44:34,405 --> 00:44:36,165
They're not puzzles.
They're not who-dun-its.

581
00:44:38,276 --> 00:44:40,478
Some of these,
I won't say what number,

582
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:42,247
are staged
and that's part of what

583
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,691
you're supposed
to get out of it, is there's

584
00:44:43,715 --> 00:44:45,316
an inconsistency between

585
00:44:45,350 --> 00:44:46,918
the information that
you're being told,

586
00:44:46,952 --> 00:44:49,054
that's on the... on the front
and what

587
00:44:49,087 --> 00:44:50,956
is visible in the diorama.

588
00:44:58,196 --> 00:45:00,832
Oh, there are solutions.

589
00:45:00,866 --> 00:45:03,668
Her solutions. Frances
had them written down.

590
00:45:03,701 --> 00:45:06,171
Her answers,
and they're her answers,

591
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:08,840
and as far as I'm concerned,
those are good enough.

592
00:45:08,874 --> 00:45:10,508
But, uh, there could be
other answers.

593
00:45:12,477 --> 00:45:14,179
They're literally kept
under lock and key

594
00:45:14,212 --> 00:45:18,183
and not even the chief
has seen those solutions.

595
00:45:18,216 --> 00:45:20,919
I've seen the folder,
I have not seen the papers.

596
00:45:20,952 --> 00:45:22,453
It's a manila folder.

597
00:45:25,423 --> 00:45:28,359
Pretty ordinary. It really
is just a manila folder.

598
00:46:05,663 --> 00:46:07,198
- Really?
- Because of this.

599
00:46:30,621 --> 00:46:34,359
I had gerbils, I
had rats, I had frogs.

600
00:46:34,392 --> 00:46:35,793
I had, what, guinea pigs.

601
00:46:36,962 --> 00:46:39,564
I had cats. I had dogs.

602
00:46:41,967 --> 00:46:47,372
I always wanted... uh, to me,
that's how you get close to God.

603
00:46:47,405 --> 00:46:50,041
That's how you get close to God.

604
00:46:50,075 --> 00:46:52,110
Get you a pet.

605
00:46:52,143 --> 00:46:53,744
You pay attention to his works.

606
00:46:56,381 --> 00:46:59,284
I'm telling you,
it make you get closer.

607
00:46:59,317 --> 00:47:01,386
You sort of understand.

608
00:47:01,419 --> 00:47:03,221
Who else but a supreme being

609
00:47:03,254 --> 00:47:06,958
could put together
something like that?

610
00:47:06,992 --> 00:47:08,369
What was that address
I was just at?

611
00:47:08,393 --> 00:47:11,696
Fifteen? Damn, 1518, right?

612
00:47:14,499 --> 00:47:17,235
That's what I'm doing first,
just looking for signs.

613
00:47:17,268 --> 00:47:21,372
Uh, any type of activity
of them being here.

614
00:47:21,406 --> 00:47:26,111
And, I'm not seeing
any of that right now.

615
00:47:30,916 --> 00:47:34,519
You know, a lot of the times
doing this, the people say,

616
00:47:34,552 --> 00:47:37,355
"Well, how did
you look and see anything?"

617
00:47:37,388 --> 00:47:39,024
"You just walked right past it."

618
00:47:39,057 --> 00:47:41,993
I say, "Miss.
I've been doing it for a bit."

619
00:47:42,027 --> 00:47:44,896
And I know what
I'm looking for."

620
00:47:44,930 --> 00:47:46,831
Very seldom does it change.

621
00:48:01,312 --> 00:48:03,581
After a while, I
guess you get so versed

622
00:48:03,614 --> 00:48:06,551
you really... you pretty much know
where everything is at anyway.

623
00:48:06,584 --> 00:48:08,386
Go to a community,
the same people

624
00:48:08,419 --> 00:48:10,788
make the same complaints.

625
00:48:10,821 --> 00:48:12,523
You know where the rats are.

626
00:48:14,625 --> 00:48:16,027
Some days be better than others.

627
00:48:26,972 --> 00:48:29,474
Rat Roto. Baltimore city.

628
00:48:32,443 --> 00:48:34,045
Rat Roto. Baltimore city.

629
00:48:36,814 --> 00:48:37,915
Hello?

630
00:48:41,586 --> 00:48:42,753
Hello, there.

631
00:48:49,961 --> 00:48:51,296
When I first started this job,

632
00:48:51,329 --> 00:48:53,631
I think there was 25 of us.

633
00:48:53,664 --> 00:48:55,600
And it was just rolling.
We wasn't planned.

634
00:48:55,633 --> 00:48:57,002
We were rolling.

635
00:48:57,035 --> 00:48:59,870
We were trying
to make a difference.

636
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,111
And a lot of days,
you just feel, like,

637
00:49:06,144 --> 00:49:08,079
"Wow, we could be
doing so much more."

638
00:49:10,815 --> 00:49:13,851
I... I mean...
I don't think this is

639
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:15,753
one of them topics
that a lot of people

640
00:49:15,786 --> 00:49:16,754
want to talk about.

641
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:18,256
It's just not.

642
00:49:18,289 --> 00:49:19,857
It's not one of them...

643
00:49:19,890 --> 00:49:21,592
Not everyone want to talk
about no rats.

644
00:49:21,626 --> 00:49:23,628
Hush, hush, please.

645
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,469
Everybody wants
to make everything

646
00:49:31,502 --> 00:49:33,604
sugar-coated and soft.

647
00:49:33,638 --> 00:49:37,375
And... and not deal with
the reality of the things.

648
00:49:37,408 --> 00:49:39,744
No, we don't want
to talk about it.

649
00:49:46,217 --> 00:49:49,287
Yeah, have a good one, baby.
It was good seeing you again.

650
00:49:54,225 --> 00:49:56,361
I'm not going to make
no excuses for it.

651
00:49:56,394 --> 00:50:00,465
Um... it's mean.

652
00:50:00,498 --> 00:50:02,367
Life is mean. It's mean.

653
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,570
It's not designed to be easy.
It's what it is.

654
00:50:05,603 --> 00:50:07,372
It's going to throw you
a lot of curveballs,

655
00:50:07,405 --> 00:50:09,674
and throw you some sliders
every now and then.

656
00:50:11,542 --> 00:50:13,144
And you just have
to deal with it.

657
00:50:13,178 --> 00:50:14,812
You know.

658
00:50:14,845 --> 00:50:17,415
You're dealt a hand
and you got to play it out.

659
00:50:17,448 --> 00:50:19,384
There ain't no saying,
"Hold it, wait, time-out.

660
00:50:19,417 --> 00:50:21,186
I want to change
some things first."

661
00:50:21,219 --> 00:50:23,654
And then start again.
There ain't none of that.

662
00:50:23,688 --> 00:50:27,392
You just deal
with what you have.

663
00:50:27,425 --> 00:50:30,027
You deal with it. Deal with it.

664
00:50:50,715 --> 00:50:52,517
An alternate view option

665
00:50:52,550 --> 00:50:54,252
provides the ability to overlay

666
00:50:54,285 --> 00:50:57,088
real photographs under
the three-dimensional models.

667
00:51:07,465 --> 00:51:10,768
An algorithm obscures
recognizable facial features.

668
00:51:14,272 --> 00:51:18,376
Sometimes, an inanimate object
is mistaken for a face.

669
00:51:21,479 --> 00:51:24,915
The game does not care
if it is human.

670
00:51:24,949 --> 00:51:27,051
Only that it matches
the accepted pattern

671
00:51:27,084 --> 00:51:28,219
of the human face.

672
00:51:39,497 --> 00:51:42,367
Two men wait for the bus
on the corner of 25th Street.

673
00:51:45,470 --> 00:51:47,238
A mother stoops to tie the shoes

674
00:51:47,272 --> 00:51:48,906
of her daughter
off Monument Street.

675
00:51:53,478 --> 00:51:57,248
A grandmother in her Sunday's
best climbs the stairs

676
00:51:57,282 --> 00:51:59,817
so slowly that she remains
on the same step

677
00:51:59,850 --> 00:52:02,119
for all three frames
that she is visible.

678
00:52:06,991 --> 00:52:09,093
With the real
photographs activated,

679
00:52:09,126 --> 00:52:12,330
the game becomes impossible
to continuously navigate.

680
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:25,109
There are glitches everywhere
within the game.

681
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:28,613
Fractures that reveal more than
the program was ever meant to.

682
00:52:34,151 --> 00:52:38,489
Sometimes, hiding in a tree,
beneath a car,

683
00:52:38,523 --> 00:52:40,958
or inside of a building,

684
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:43,428
the solar system
bursts into view.

685
00:52:47,698 --> 00:52:50,134
Object and perspective
intersect.

686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:53,938
The same gaping hole within
every object is revealed.

687
00:53:02,347 --> 00:53:05,583
A user tries to push deeper
in moments like these,

688
00:53:05,616 --> 00:53:07,352
but the game pushes back.

689
00:53:20,265 --> 00:53:24,702
1933. Following
the stock market crash,

690
00:53:24,735 --> 00:53:27,338
the Homeowners
Loan Corporation is created.

691
00:53:29,039 --> 00:53:30,941
Among its stated purposes,

692
00:53:30,975 --> 00:53:33,611
the creation
of a residential security map

693
00:53:33,644 --> 00:53:36,113
identifying areas
of high financial risk

694
00:53:36,146 --> 00:53:39,183
for government-backed loans.

695
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:41,519
Fourteen mapmakers, all white,

696
00:53:41,552 --> 00:53:44,955
all men, lead up
the effort in Baltimore.

697
00:53:44,989 --> 00:53:48,893
Their work is
kept secret for decades.

698
00:53:48,926 --> 00:53:51,762
Factors considered
for residential security,

699
00:53:51,796 --> 00:53:56,401
quote, "Intensity of the sale
and rental demand",

700
00:53:56,434 --> 00:54:00,137
percentage of home ownership,
age and type of building,

701
00:54:00,170 --> 00:54:03,107
economic stability of the area,

702
00:54:03,140 --> 00:54:05,810
social status of the population,

703
00:54:05,843 --> 00:54:08,212
racial homogeneity
and restrictions

704
00:54:08,245 --> 00:54:10,748
"for protecting homogeneity."

705
00:54:10,781 --> 00:54:15,753
May 1st, 1937.
Establishment of a map.

706
00:54:15,786 --> 00:54:19,657
Neighborhoods are arranged
into four graded areas.

707
00:54:19,690 --> 00:54:24,629
Grade A, or green.
Grade B, or blue.

708
00:54:24,662 --> 00:54:28,633
Grade C, or yellow.
Grade D, or red.

709
00:54:30,301 --> 00:54:34,772
Green, quote,
"In nearly all instances,"

710
00:54:34,805 --> 00:54:37,642
they are the new, well-planned
sections of the city.

711
00:54:37,675 --> 00:54:39,744
They are homogeneous,

712
00:54:39,777 --> 00:54:41,812
in demand
as residential locations

713
00:54:41,846 --> 00:54:45,516
"in good times or bad."

714
00:54:45,550 --> 00:54:47,685
Blue, quote,

715
00:54:47,718 --> 00:54:50,755
"They are like
a 1935 automobile,"

716
00:54:50,788 --> 00:54:53,190
still good, but not what
the people are buying today

717
00:54:53,223 --> 00:54:54,725
"who can afford a new one."

718
00:54:56,894 --> 00:55:00,598
Yellow, quote,
"Age, obsolescence,"

719
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:02,333
and change of style,

720
00:55:02,367 --> 00:55:04,802
expiring restrictions,
or lack of them,

721
00:55:04,835 --> 00:55:08,172
infiltration
of a lower-grade population,

722
00:55:08,205 --> 00:55:10,808
poor maintenance of homes.

723
00:55:10,841 --> 00:55:13,611
"Generally, these have reached
the transition period."

724
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,283
Red, quote,
"Detrimental influences"

725
00:55:19,316 --> 00:55:21,285
in a pronounced degree.

726
00:55:21,318 --> 00:55:24,355
"Undesirable population
or an infiltration of it."

727
00:55:24,389 --> 00:55:27,057
These primarily black
and mixed neighborhoods

728
00:55:27,091 --> 00:55:30,428
gained a new,
ominous nickname, redlined.

729
00:55:32,530 --> 00:55:36,401
Based on geography,
residents in redlined areas

730
00:55:36,434 --> 00:55:38,211
were denied loans
that would have allowed them

731
00:55:38,235 --> 00:55:40,405
to move into more
affluent neighborhoods.

732
00:55:40,438 --> 00:55:42,573
Business ventures
that might bring revenue

733
00:55:42,607 --> 00:55:44,141
to the neighborhood
were considered

734
00:55:44,174 --> 00:55:47,712
too risky by banks to invest in.

735
00:55:47,745 --> 00:55:52,049
Redlined areas,
mapped as such, stayed red.

736
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,555
The city continued to integrate.

737
00:55:57,588 --> 00:56:01,992
The market responded,
house prices plummeted.

738
00:56:02,026 --> 00:56:04,161
Industry and industry jobs left

739
00:56:04,194 --> 00:56:06,330
and would continue to leave.

740
00:56:06,363 --> 00:56:09,233
A great migration
to the suburbs began,

741
00:56:09,266 --> 00:56:11,268
aided by a slew
of government loans

742
00:56:11,301 --> 00:56:14,138
and tax incentives
for first-time homeowners.

743
00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:18,843
Loans and incentives
that were only made available

744
00:56:18,876 --> 00:56:20,778
to the predominately
white families,

745
00:56:20,811 --> 00:56:22,847
living in the right color
of the map.

746
00:56:56,514 --> 00:56:59,083
Isn't it nice to think
that when it rains,

747
00:56:59,116 --> 00:57:01,085
the whole city gets wet?

748
00:57:18,168 --> 00:57:19,737
How are you doing?
Good, and you?

749
00:57:19,770 --> 00:57:20,871
Great.

750
00:57:28,946 --> 00:57:31,081
Uh, right now,
we're at Scarpetta House.

751
00:57:31,115 --> 00:57:32,483
This is our training facility

752
00:57:32,517 --> 00:57:34,251
for our forensic investigators.

753
00:57:34,284 --> 00:57:36,153
It's basically like
a studio apartment.

754
00:57:38,789 --> 00:57:42,793
We have a bedroom, kitchen,
living room, bathroom.

755
00:57:42,827 --> 00:57:48,432
And, uh, we use this
to, uh, stage using manikins,

756
00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:51,702
stage death scenes
to train our investigators.

757
00:57:51,736 --> 00:57:53,270
And occasionally other groups

758
00:57:53,303 --> 00:57:54,805
that come in from the outside.

759
00:58:08,218 --> 00:58:13,190
This is the bedroom.
We have, uh, bed, crib.

760
00:58:13,223 --> 00:58:17,828
Um, and we can set up different
scenarios depending on

761
00:58:17,862 --> 00:58:20,030
what we're doing.

762
00:58:20,064 --> 00:58:22,967
You know, we can do shootings,
stabbings, um...

763
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,401
We have a grill,

764
00:58:24,434 --> 00:58:26,470
we can simulate
a carbon monoxide poisoning.

765
00:58:27,738 --> 00:58:30,841
Um, there are prop weapons

766
00:58:30,875 --> 00:58:34,178
and we have prop drugs
hidden around, so...

767
00:58:34,211 --> 00:58:36,747
when our investigators come in,

768
00:58:36,781 --> 00:58:38,549
uh, you can check the windows,

769
00:58:38,583 --> 00:58:40,050
you can look through
the garbage can.

770
00:58:40,084 --> 00:58:41,361
They can look
through the cabinets.

771
00:58:41,385 --> 00:58:42,763
And just as you would
in a real scene,

772
00:58:42,787 --> 00:58:44,722
and look for anything
that might be...

773
00:58:44,755 --> 00:58:46,123
May or may not be meaningful.

774
00:58:48,626 --> 00:58:52,396
Um, well... we did
a, uh, a Jonestown kind of

775
00:58:52,429 --> 00:58:56,400
mass suicide thing
a year or so ago.

776
00:58:56,433 --> 00:58:59,870
And we had... we had...
I can show you photos,

777
00:58:59,904 --> 00:59:03,407
but we had, um, pretty much
wall-to-wall bodies.

778
00:59:05,075 --> 00:59:07,377
Yeah, there are people all over.

779
00:59:10,915 --> 00:59:12,783
In the bedroom.

780
00:59:12,817 --> 00:59:16,086
And they all drank kool-aid.
There's the kool-aid cup.

781
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,256
These are actually... these girls

782
00:59:19,289 --> 00:59:20,691
and the ones in the bed,

783
00:59:20,725 --> 00:59:23,527
those are the daughters
of people who work here.

784
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,765
Um, there's one
of our forensic investigators.

785
00:59:27,798 --> 00:59:30,267
And the red is to simulate

786
00:59:30,300 --> 00:59:34,071
a, um, little avidity,
settling from the blood.

787
00:59:34,104 --> 00:59:35,773
And they had
to chew Alka-Seltzer

788
00:59:35,806 --> 00:59:37,708
to get the foaming at the mouth

789
00:59:37,742 --> 00:59:39,552
which tastes really nasty,
and that's what she's doing.

790
00:59:39,576 --> 00:59:40,976
She's chomping
on this Alka-Seltzer.

791
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,884
It does not taste good.
So, um, that's what they do.

792
01:00:47,077 --> 01:00:50,781
December 2nd, 1957.

793
01:00:50,815 --> 01:00:53,617
John B. Calhoun,
a former research assistant

794
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:56,787
on Dr. Davis'
rodent ecology project,

795
01:00:56,821 --> 01:00:58,989
writes a letter
to Mr. Eugene Casey,

796
01:00:59,023 --> 01:01:02,192
of Gaithersburg, Maryland,
asking permission to use a barn

797
01:01:02,226 --> 01:01:04,895
on his property
for an upcoming experiment.

798
01:01:04,929 --> 01:01:07,832
Quote, "It has been
with great anticipation"

799
01:01:07,865 --> 01:01:09,499
that I have followed
the remodeling

800
01:01:09,533 --> 01:01:11,235
of your barn near Gaithersburg.

801
01:01:11,268 --> 01:01:12,870
By it, you are
making possible certain

802
01:01:12,903 --> 01:01:15,005
much needed scientific studies

803
01:01:15,039 --> 01:01:19,043
"that no one to date has had
the opportunity to initiate."

804
01:01:19,076 --> 01:01:21,311
Experiments began
the following year

805
01:01:21,345 --> 01:01:25,049
at the newly
renovated Casey barn.

806
01:01:25,082 --> 01:01:26,917
The project was funded by

807
01:01:26,951 --> 01:01:29,820
the National
Institute of Mental Health.

808
01:01:29,854 --> 01:01:33,023
Their aim, to study
the effects of crowding

809
01:01:33,057 --> 01:01:35,525
on the development
of social pathology.

810
01:01:40,097 --> 01:01:43,901
Thirty-two rats were placed
in the main room of the barn.

811
01:01:43,934 --> 01:01:46,837
Sealed by
a 140-square-foot enclosure

812
01:01:46,871 --> 01:01:49,840
divided into four quadrants.

813
01:01:49,874 --> 01:01:53,177
The simulated environment
provided unlimited food,

814
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:56,180
shelter, and protection
from predation

815
01:01:56,213 --> 01:01:57,347
for its rat inhabitants.

816
01:01:59,283 --> 01:02:01,986
The only limiting factor
was space.

817
01:02:05,589 --> 01:02:10,460
The rat population was observed
for a period of 16 months.

818
01:02:10,494 --> 01:02:12,629
After a period
of initial growth,

819
01:02:12,662 --> 01:02:16,901
the population stabilized
at around 80 individuals.

820
01:02:16,934 --> 01:02:21,005
Soon after, however, it was
nearing total collapse.

821
01:02:24,241 --> 01:02:27,277
A class of dominant
male rats emerged.

822
01:02:27,311 --> 01:02:29,947
Sealing themselves off
with eight to ten females

823
01:02:29,980 --> 01:02:33,617
in high-rise apartments
above the city.

824
01:02:33,650 --> 01:02:36,787
Below, subordinate males
went berserk,

825
01:02:36,821 --> 01:02:41,258
attacking females, juveniles,
and less active males.

826
01:02:42,927 --> 01:02:45,229
Mothers ceased providing
adequate shelter

827
01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:47,164
for their young,

828
01:02:47,197 --> 01:02:49,766
often leaving them to die
in poorly built nests.

829
01:02:52,169 --> 01:02:54,671
Population growth came to a halt

830
01:02:54,704 --> 01:02:57,307
as asexual, cannibalistic rats

831
01:02:57,341 --> 01:02:59,143
preyed on their abandoned young.

832
01:03:01,711 --> 01:03:04,314
Calhoun called
these cumulative effects

833
01:03:04,348 --> 01:03:06,083
the behavioral sink.

834
01:03:08,518 --> 01:03:10,955
The goal, ultimately,

835
01:03:10,988 --> 01:03:13,523
wasn't to learn how to create
these effects in man,

836
01:03:13,557 --> 01:03:15,993
but how to better
design physical space

837
01:03:16,026 --> 01:03:19,229
so that behavioral sinks
in man could be avoided.

838
01:03:27,972 --> 01:03:31,141
In photos, Calhoun gazes out
over his universe

839
01:03:31,175 --> 01:03:32,977
like a gnostic god visiting

840
01:03:33,010 --> 01:03:35,245
a creation he has
long since left behind.

841
01:03:37,882 --> 01:03:40,684
But he is not there
to save the rats,

842
01:03:40,717 --> 01:03:42,119
just to observe.

843
01:03:44,588 --> 01:03:47,157
His only concern is how
to do better next time.

844
01:03:54,064 --> 01:03:56,200
Today, the Casey barn
has been repurposed

845
01:03:56,233 --> 01:03:57,834
as a community rental space.

846
01:03:59,669 --> 01:04:01,972
Their website advertises
potential uses

847
01:04:02,006 --> 01:04:06,176
such as wedding receptions,
family reunions,

848
01:04:08,712 --> 01:04:10,347
bar and bat mitzvahs,

849
01:04:11,581 --> 01:04:12,816
birthday parties,

850
01:04:15,252 --> 01:04:16,520
and business meetings.

851
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:30,334
There is a full-service
nursery school

852
01:04:30,367 --> 01:04:32,036
and day care in the basement.

853
01:05:03,767 --> 01:05:05,469
We'll go to one
of my favorite alleys.

854
01:05:05,502 --> 01:05:07,237
They're usually there.

855
01:05:07,271 --> 01:05:10,707
Always has many rats.

856
01:05:17,847 --> 01:05:20,217
Ignorant son of a bitch.

857
01:05:20,250 --> 01:05:21,585
Look, he just took it off

858
01:05:21,618 --> 01:05:23,353
and just walked
over here and slayed him.

859
01:05:29,259 --> 01:05:32,296
It sucks... it sucks
when you can see...

860
01:05:32,329 --> 01:05:34,898
See, you can't see
the fish steal your bait.

861
01:05:34,931 --> 01:05:36,933
Okay, when it's in the water.

862
01:05:36,967 --> 01:05:42,406
But you can see a rat take
your bait right off the hook.

863
01:05:42,439 --> 01:05:44,941
So, that sucks even worse.
You know?

864
01:05:44,975 --> 01:05:47,244
So, you just got to be patient,

865
01:05:47,277 --> 01:05:49,313
you got to be real patient.

866
01:05:49,346 --> 01:05:51,815
Got to kind of, like,
keep your cool.

867
01:05:51,848 --> 01:05:53,783
Because here they come.

868
01:05:53,817 --> 01:05:55,537
Once again, you got to keep
your line tight.

869
01:05:59,723 --> 01:06:01,992
We see trash everywhere.

870
01:06:02,026 --> 01:06:03,593
The perfect area for...

871
01:06:05,462 --> 01:06:07,998
rats buffet.

872
01:06:59,683 --> 01:07:00,884
I got it, I got it, I got it.

873
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:10,660
Yes.

874
01:07:13,463 --> 01:07:15,007
You going to walk the fuck home.

875
01:07:15,031 --> 01:07:16,733
That shit going to be
all over you.

876
01:07:22,439 --> 01:07:26,843
Yeah, this guy did not
struggle at all.

877
01:07:26,876 --> 01:07:31,381
See, that's a head shot.
Had no idea what was coming.

878
01:07:32,782 --> 01:07:33,983
Right in the head.

879
01:07:36,253 --> 01:07:37,854
No suffering.

880
01:07:46,263 --> 01:07:47,797
I don't know.

881
01:07:47,831 --> 01:07:50,767
Life is funny. It's funny.

882
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,603
You got to be funny 'cause
if you take it too serious,

883
01:07:53,637 --> 01:07:55,539
you'll wind up someplace

884
01:07:55,572 --> 01:07:57,174
where you really
don't want to be.

885
01:07:59,143 --> 01:08:02,078
Sometimes, it's sad
and sometimes it's funny.

886
01:08:05,449 --> 01:08:07,317
I don't know.

887
01:08:07,351 --> 01:08:09,286
I have no idea
what I was supposed

888
01:08:09,319 --> 01:08:11,388
to do most of the time.

889
01:08:11,421 --> 01:08:13,323
Not all the time.

890
01:08:13,357 --> 01:08:16,260
I won't have no regrets
about none of that.

891
01:08:16,293 --> 01:08:18,061
None of that.

892
01:08:18,094 --> 01:08:20,264
And I think that's
the only thing you can do.

893
01:08:28,505 --> 01:08:30,106
Do rats go to heaven?

894
01:08:33,777 --> 01:08:35,612
I don't believe
there's a heaven.

895
01:08:37,314 --> 01:08:39,082
I really don't.

896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,651
I believe that it's crazy
to live a lifetime

897
01:08:41,685 --> 01:08:44,821
and have all that information

898
01:08:44,854 --> 01:08:47,857
and then just cease to exist.

899
01:08:47,891 --> 01:08:53,096
I think the spirit part might...

900
01:08:53,129 --> 01:08:56,099
go somewhere
in some type of collective.

901
01:08:58,001 --> 01:09:00,604
But I don't think
you just live a lifetime

902
01:09:00,637 --> 01:09:02,972
and have all that
information and just expire

903
01:09:03,006 --> 01:09:04,007
and that's the end.

904
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:05,442
I don't believe that.

905
01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:09,213
As far as
a heaven and hell, I...

906
01:09:09,246 --> 01:09:12,182
No, I'm not gonna get
spooky with all that.

907
01:09:12,216 --> 01:09:13,817
God this and that.

908
01:09:13,850 --> 01:09:15,719
Now, I'm not gonna do that
to myself.

909
01:09:15,752 --> 01:09:17,187
No, I'm not. No.

910
01:09:21,891 --> 01:09:24,060
I don't even believe
in really good and bad.

911
01:09:24,093 --> 01:09:26,630
It's just some people
who had some stuff happen,

912
01:09:26,663 --> 01:09:28,498
that make them make decisions

913
01:09:28,532 --> 01:09:31,668
contrary to how I believe
or how I feel.

914
01:09:31,701 --> 01:09:33,637
And, then,
so they act out in ways.

915
01:09:33,670 --> 01:09:35,805
They just do stuff.

916
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:40,410
It's some more stuff piled up
on some more stuff, and...

917
01:09:40,444 --> 01:09:42,145
I'm not going there with myself.

918
01:09:42,178 --> 01:09:44,314
I'm just not, not me.

919
01:09:48,285 --> 01:09:50,654
Hey. LADY: Honestly,
I know that guy.

920
01:09:50,687 --> 01:09:52,832
- Thank you. Take care.
- Thank you so much. Yeah.

921
01:09:52,856 --> 01:09:56,092
Young lady, please call me.

01:09:56,125 --> 01:10:00,397
Just dial the 311.
This is my neighborhood.

923
01:10:00,430 --> 01:10:02,232
This is the area I do.

924
01:10:02,266 --> 01:10:03,900
So, every time I come,

925
01:10:03,933 --> 01:10:05,569
I'm going to go above
and beyond and try

926
01:10:05,602 --> 01:10:06,570
to cut this myself.

927
01:10:06,603 --> 01:10:08,538
Thank you.

928
01:10:08,572 --> 01:10:11,007

making my mouth say that.

01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,543
Please call. Please call.

And you gonna be laughing.

931
01:10:15,712 --> 01:10:17,723
You're going to be laughing
'cause they going to be gone.

932
01:10:17,747 --> 01:10:19,949
You can get me to the
point where I can throw you

933
01:10:19,983 --> 01:10:21,551
a bushel of flowers...

934
01:10:23,953 --> 01:10:26,198
You're gonna see. LADY:
You'll be the one that's laughing.

935
01:10:26,222 --> 01:10:28,392
No, you gonna be so happy
'cause you gonna be able

936
01:10:28,425 --> 01:10:30,260
to enjoy your yard. Watch.

937
01:10:30,294 --> 01:10:32,128
That's all I want. That's all I want.
Watch.

938
01:10:32,161 --> 01:10:34,097
But thank you very much.
Yes, ma'am.

939
01:10:34,130 --> 01:10:36,099
Just keep doing what you're doing.
Yes, ma'am.

940
01:10:36,132 --> 01:10:37,634
We appreciate it.

941
01:10:37,667 --> 01:10:40,704
Yes, ma'am, I got you.
My heroes.

942
01:10:40,737 --> 01:10:41,705
I got you.

943
01:10:41,738 --> 01:10:43,239
Thank you. Yes, ma'am.

944
01:10:47,511 --> 01:10:49,379
That's the best part
of the job, right there.

945
01:10:51,180 --> 01:10:53,917
When you run into
that one person who say,

946
01:10:53,950 --> 01:10:56,953
"Man, thank you."
Just thank you.

947
01:10:56,986 --> 01:10:58,230
Ain't a whole lot
of conversation.

948
01:10:58,254 --> 01:11:00,924

And the entire population
has gathered on a hillside

981

to watch the complete and
final demolition of the city.

01:15:54,751 --> 01:15:57,086
It has been decided
to start again.

983
01:16:09,799 --> 01:16:12,401
A press conference
was held earlier in the day

984

985
01:16:20,309 --> 01:16:22,779

better than expected.

01:18:06,182 --> 01:18:07,550
Streets will glisten.

996
01:18:21,430 --> 01:18:22,899
The city will be renamed.

997
01:18:25,935 --> 01:18:27,904
New Baltimore,
it will be called.

998
01:18:43,787 --> 01:18:46,522
Before the world became
the world, it was an egg.

999
01:18:51,394 --> 01:18:53,362
Inside the egg was dark.

1000
01:18:55,799 --> 01:18:58,434
The rat nibbled the egg
and let the light in.

1001
01:19:02,071 --> 01:19:03,672
