Their voices, reconstructed from the words they left behind.

3
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:10,950
Then he disappears.

4
00:00:11,375 --> 00:00:16,750

experiments left in his house.

7
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:32,150

9

Did someone tamper with the evidence?

12
00:00:44,145 --> 00:00:47,600
Or did something answer that he could no longer control?

13
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:57,200

she is investigating the experiment...

14
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:58,750
or becoming part of it.
