1. Hey, you seen this video? It's nuts.Copy !req
2. Oh, yeah. I saw it.Copy !req
3. He's a chimpanzee man or something? It was
a big deal for a minute back in the day.Copy !req
4. He's a Humanzee. Charlie the Humanzee.Copy !req
5. Looks like he's going
to some backwater high school.Copy !req
6. Really?Copy !req
7. And the ALA's been in the news again
recently too.Copy !req
8. The what?Copy !req
9. The Animal Liberation Alliance.Copy !req
10. They're the ones who raided
that research institute 15 years agoCopy !req
11. and found the Humanzee.Copy !req
12. Come on. You must have seen their
graffiti. It's all over the place.Copy !req
13. Oh, yeah. Those radical activists.Copy !req
14. Fuck, man, I'd love to round up
those crazy bastardsCopy !req
15. and send 'em all to the slammer.Copy !req
16. Try the loony bin.Copy !req
17. Damn right.Copy !req
18. Thanks. See you next time.Copy !req
19. Mommy, you forgot your hat.
I'll go get it for you.Copy !req
20. Sally. Don't run.Copy !req
21. That customer left without eating a bite.Copy !req
22. Weird. Maybe he wasn't feeling well?Copy !req
23. She has quite the energy.Copy !req
24. She's such a tomboy,
so she's quite a handful.Copy !req
25. Mommy! I found it!Copy !req
26. Sally?Copy !req
27. - Sally!
- Don't! It's too dangerous!Copy !req
28. Let me go!Copy !req
29. Sally? Sally... Sally... Sally. Sally!Copy !req
30. No!Copy !req
31. Look. The steak house is on fire.Copy !req
32. - Terrible.
- A vegan terrorist attack?Copy !req
33. Terrorists have claimed responsibility.Copy !req
34. This is a message to all meat-eaters
and everyone who exploits animals.Copy !req
35. Hear the roar of all the animals
tyrannized by humanity.Copy !req
36. This is truer than principles
Discovered by geniuses like XYCopy !req
37. You are so captivating
That I can't take my eyes off youCopy !req
38. We are merely beings who are just livingCopy !req
39. But we are beings unlike any otherCopy !req
40. You make me wonderCopy !req
41. Actors caught in a drama
Unaware of the endingCopy !req
42. Our "relationship chart" is still blank
And it bothers meCopy !req
43. We only want to share laughter
Yet somehow end up hurting each otherCopy !req
44. It wasn't supposed to be like thisCopy !req
45. I wonder what principles or clues
Apply to our relationshipCopy !req
46. A stereo yearning to blend
Like left and rightCopy !req
47. Could it be love?
I don't knowCopy !req
48. Are we at odds?
I don't think soCopy !req
49. It's a frustrating thing
And I can't even tell if it's realCopy !req
50. Just how deep is our relationship?
Why can't it be measured?Copy !req
51. I want to know you
I want you to know meCopy !req
52. And what's the level of expectation
When we get to know each other?Copy !req
53. I know nothing else but the long-sought
Love, and I want to seek it outCopy !req
54. You make me wonderCopy !req
55. Just beyond wordsCopy !req
56. You make me wonderCopy !req
57. At an emergency press conference,
Chief Morrance of the NYPD declaredCopy !req
58. The Animal Liberation Alliance
responsible for the terrorist attack.Copy !req
59. Hey. No social media in class.Copy !req
60. Sorry.Copy !req
61. The ALA are the radical animal rights
group whose raid on a research instituteCopy !req
62. 15 years ago led
to the discovery of a "Humanzee."Copy !req
63. No way.Copy !req
64. They've lain low since then, but recently
started becoming active againCopy !req
65. - for an unknown reason.
- Yeah, I'm watching.Copy !req
66. Too late.Copy !req
67. Anyway, I'll go pick Charlie up right now.Copy !req
68. This Humanzee they mentioned...Copy !req
69. It's obviously Charlie, dumb-ass.Copy !req
70. Oh, yeah. Charlie said he was a vegan, remember?Copy !req
71. Does that mean he's linked
to the terrorists?Copy !req
72. Hey.Copy !req
73. Lucy.Copy !req
74. Yeah, he's fine.Copy !req
75. I'm going to take him home for now,
until we know more...Copy !req
76. Professor Gilbert Stein?
I'm Deputy Philip Graham.Copy !req
77. If you wouldn't mind coming along
to the sheriff's office,Copy !req
78. we have some questions
we'd like to ask you.Copy !req
79. "Him" too.Copy !req
80. That jumped-up deputy.Copy !req
81. Showing up at the school like that
and treating Charlie like a terrorist.Copy !req
82. They questioned him for hours.
Unbelievable.Copy !req
83. And when I told the deputy I was a lawyer,
he practically laughed in my face.Copy !req
84. Where's Charlie?Copy !req
85. I put him to bed. The poor thing.Copy !req
86. Are you okay?Copy !req
87. We'd just gotten Charlie started
at school.Copy !req
88. And now this...Copy !req
89. Let's take Charlie out of school.Copy !req
90. Hold on, Bert. Nothing's...Copy !req
91. Think about it, Hannah.Copy !req
92. Charlie was rescued by the ALA.Copy !req
93. And right now people are being
vilified online for just being vegan.Copy !req
94. He's in a dangerous position.Copy !req
95. But Charlie hasn't done anything wrong.Copy !req
96. And hardly any vegan or activists
support the terrorists.Copy !req
97. Sure. Of course.Copy !req
98. But there's no guarantee people will
confine their anger to the terrorists.Copy !req
99. That's...Copy !req
100. Look, we'll see how Charlie feels.Copy !req
101. It's not like he was particularly excited
about going to school in the first place.Copy !req
102. In a small town like this,Copy !req
103. everyone will already know
he was questioned by the police.Copy !req
104. Worst-case scenario,
it could be a repeat of ten years ago.Copy !req
105. That's...Copy !req
106. Charlie.Copy !req
107. What's wrong? Can't sleep?Copy !req
108. About school.Copy !req
109. I want to stay.Copy !req
110. Can't believe he'd show up.Copy !req
111. Is it true he's in with the terrorists?Copy !req
112. Gonna keep going to school, huh?
Interesting.Copy !req
113. Amazing.Copy !req
114. To think that's him. The baby
that was inside that chimp's body.Copy !req
115. I almost can't believe it.Copy !req
116. Well, you can't go
and give him a hug just yet.Copy !req
117. Look. Damn cops are sticking to him
like glue.Copy !req
118. Guess our joyful reunion will have to wait
until everything's in place.Copy !req
119. You really think we'll get Charlie
on our side?Copy !req
120. We'll make it so he doesn't have a choice.Copy !req
121. Yesterday on TV...Copy !req
122. There was a picture of a girl
who died in the bombing.Copy !req
123. Her mom couldn't stop crying...Copy !req
124. Mia...Copy !req
125. How could they do something like that?Copy !req
126. There he is.Copy !req
127. Hey.Copy !req
128. What?Copy !req
129. Just sitting there
eating that shit like nothing happened.Copy !req
130. So what's your take, then? On that
vegan terrorist attack in New York.Copy !req
131. My take?Copy !req
132. Hey, Ozzy. What is this?Copy !req
133. Get lost.Copy !req
134. - You've got no right to—
- Yes, he does.Copy !req
135. He's allowed to ask a question, isn't he?Copy !req
136. Vegans like you killed a child
because of their beliefs.Copy !req
137. Eleven people died.Copy !req
138. Plus, the ALA are the ones who saved you.Copy !req
139. You must have some kind of opinion
about it.Copy !req
140. Vegans like me...Copy !req
141. Just ignore these clowns.Copy !req
142. Let's go, Charlie.Copy !req
143. What, you're just gonna run away?Copy !req
144. Come on, tell us what's so "right"
about being vegan.Copy !req
145. Me, I think this terrorist attack came
from too much pandering to minorities.Copy !req
146. Know what I mean?Copy !req
147. We're so scared
of offending other religious groupsCopy !req
148. that we can't even say
"Merry Christmas" anymore.Copy !req
149. Next they'll be telling us
we can't even eat turkey.Copy !req
150. - Come on, you guys—
- Just go ahead and eat it.Copy !req
151. You said I was a vegan
like those terrorists.Copy !req
152. But that just happens to be
the lifestyle I've been livingCopy !req
153. for as long as I can remember. And I can't
see any reason to change it. That's all.Copy !req
154. So don't worry about me. Just go ahead
and eat whatever you want.Copy !req
155. Birds, cows, pigs, fish...Copy !req
156. Human beings...Copy !req
157. You hear that? He's tripping.Copy !req
158. Humans don't eat other humans.Copy !req
159. Then let me ask you this.Copy !req
160. Why is it that it's only humans
you can't kill and eat?Copy !req
161. Wha...Copy !req
162. If it's because you don't want to kill
or cause pain,Copy !req
163. you'd have to include all sentient
creatures with nervous systems.Copy !req
164. Or is there...Copy !req
165. some other reason
to give humans special treatment?Copy !req
166. That's ridiculous.Copy !req
167. Humans are special.
We're different from animals.Copy !req
168. In what way?Copy !req
169. In what way?Copy !req
170. Don't bother, Trev.Copy !req
171. He's half monkey.Copy !req
172. You're not gonna get through to him.Copy !req
173. Come on.Copy !req
174. Charlie, it might be better to avoid
the cafeteria for a while.Copy !req
175. Wanna go someplace else?Copy !req
176. That was a master class in irony.
Don't you think, Charlie?Copy !req
177. Who are you?Copy !req
178. Don't worry. I'm Gare. I'm a sympathizer.Copy !req
179. Oops, better keep that quiet. See ya.Copy !req
180. You know him?Copy !req
181. Nope.Copy !req
182. No one in this backwater understandsCopy !req
183. that those guys
are on the right side of history.Copy !req
184. Nice place, right?Copy !req
185. It's not on school grounds,
but no one's ever here, so we can relax.Copy !req
186. I come here a lot when I cut class.Copy !req
187. Thanks, Lucy.Copy !req
188. Charlie, you should get out of this town.Copy !req
189. Even once things settle down
from that terrorist attack,Copy !req
190. I don't think they'll ever
be open-minded enoughCopy !req
191. to accept you in
a midwestern backwater like this.Copy !req
192. I'm gonna leave here too, one day.Copy !req
193. This place makes me sick.Copy !req
194. It's like a fricking ant colony.Copy !req
195. You must be fed up with it too, right?Copy !req
196. Couldn't you and your folks
move to the city?Copy !req
197. If you look at ants from far away,
it can seem like they're just a hive mind.Copy !req
198. But if you watch carefully,
you'll see that each one is different.Copy !req
199. Some are lazy, some are calculating.Copy !req
200. They're constantly negotiating
with each other.Copy !req
201. Even though asexual reproduction means
the whole colony shares the same DNA.Copy !req
202. Are we still talking about ants here?Copy !req
203. Up till now,
I've hardly ever been out of my house,Copy !req
204. so I don't really know anyone
except my mom and dad.Copy !req
205. I've seen people in books and online,Copy !req
206. but that's just looking at them
from far away, I guess.Copy !req
207. I was never really that interested.Copy !req
208. But when you observe human beings
up close,Copy !req
209. you guys are actually pretty fascinating.Copy !req
210. I've had so many new experiences
since starting school.Copy !req
211. It would be boring
if I had to stay at home.Copy !req
212. You know what? You're awesome.Copy !req
213. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
214. Do you have a social media account?
Let's friend each other.Copy !req
215. Lucy, you're super weird.Copy !req
216. Charlie. Just ignore them.Copy !req
217. You sure we're okay tailing them
all the time like this, Phil?Copy !req
218. Kinda seems like harassment.Copy !req
219. Doesn't matter if they don't like us.
It's all part of the job.Copy !req
220. Still, I can't believe we get to see
Charlie the Humanzee in the flesh.Copy !req
221. My classmates all had Charlie this
and Charlie that. Toys, video games...Copy !req
222. All illegally pirated, of course.Copy !req
223. Marco, how long you been stationed here?Copy !req
224. Four years, I think?Copy !req
225. I see. So you don't know anything
about it, huh?Copy !req
226. Listen. What I'm about to tell you
didn't happen, okay?Copy !req
227. So if you spill it to the wrong person...
Get me?Copy !req
228. Top secret, huh? Roger that.Copy !req
229. You just go right on ahead, Phil.Copy !req
230. It was ten years ago.Copy !req
231. The Bolivar City Police called us in.Copy !req
232. They wanted extra officers
to join the escort for the Humanzee.Copy !req
233. Can you believe it? A thousand people,
protecting one ape.Copy !req
234. This jackassery went on for days,
and I was fed up.Copy !req
235. Anyway, that day,
I was on guard duty at the city pool.Copy !req
236. Suddenly,
the guys inside sounded the alarm.Copy !req
237. We rushed into the buildingCopy !req
238. and I saw...Copy !req
239. Can you believe it? Seven armed officers,
sent to the hospital.Copy !req
240. By one five-year-old ape.Copy !req
241. My God.Copy !req
242. No fatalities,
but all seven of them left the force.Copy !req
243. One of them was my pal.Copy !req
244. I'll never forget that sight.Copy !req
245. It was like a nightmare.Copy !req
246. But why wasn't it made public?
That's a huge deal.Copy !req
247. Who knows?Copy !req
248. Anyhow, they silenced the rank and file,Copy !req
249. and the whole thing
was struck from the public record.Copy !req
250. After that, the Humanzee
stopped making media appearances.Copy !req
251. Could've been something to do
with that high-flying lawyer lady.Copy !req
252. Maybe the Humanzee's
connected to those terrorists. Maybe not.Copy !req
253. But either way, that creature's dangerous.Copy !req
254. That thing shouldn't be allowed to exist
in this world.Copy !req
255. 'Sup, Charlie, how's it going?Copy !req
256. Lucy, do you need something?Copy !req
257. Nothing. We don't need a reason to chat.Copy !req
258. What are you up to?Copy !req
259. I just got home,
and I'm watching my mom struggleCopy !req
260. to get the car into the garage.
I think she bumped into the wall.Copy !req
261. I'm terribly sorry. Are you hurt?Copy !req
262. No, it's my bad.
I wasn't looking where I was going.Copy !req
263. I'm totally fine, don't worry about it.Copy !req
264. Glad to hear it.Copy !req
265. Do you go to Shrews High by any chance?Copy !req
266. Yeah... Who are you?Copy !req
267. My apologies. The name's Max.
Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
268. You must be familiar with Charlie, then.
The Humanzee?Copy !req
269. I work for the Kornberg Institute.Copy !req
270. Could I ask you a few questions?Copy !req
271. Try someone else.Copy !req
272. Hey.Copy !req
273. Why do you think the Humanzee exists,
Lucy?Copy !req
274. "Why?"Copy !req
275. What? How do you know my name?Copy !req
276. That's it on that old beaten-up sticker, no?Copy !req
277. Truth is, I spotted you and Charlie
talking in the park by the school.Copy !req
278. Just by coincidence.Copy !req
279. So I wanted to speak with you.Copy !req
280. And damned if you don't go
and bump right into me.Copy !req
281. What's the Kornberg Institute?Copy !req
282. It's a research facility in St. Louis.Copy !req
283. It's where Charlie was born.Copy !req
284. He's been going back
for regular checkups ever since.Copy !req
285. Actually,
Charlie hasn't been doing so hot lately.Copy !req
286. And then there was
that unfortunate terrorist attack, right?Copy !req
287. I wondered if school's
been causing Charlie stress.Copy !req
288. How does he seem to you?
Is he doing all right?Copy !req
289. Well...Copy !req
290. Charlie's been put in a horrible position
at school. Really crappy.Copy !req
291. Thanks to those terrorist assholes.Copy !req
292. But I don't really think
it's stressing him out.Copy !req
293. What did you mean, before?Copy !req
294. Why do I think the Humanzee exists.
That's what you asked, right?Copy !req
295. Sorry, sorry. I just meant, what does
Charlie the Humanzee mean to you?Copy !req
296. Perhaps I worded it a little strangely.Copy !req
297. What does he mean to me? It's not like
I know him all that well, but...Copy !req
298. To me, he's like the bat that shows you
a different way of looking at the world,Copy !req
299. I guess.Copy !req
300. Thanks for chatting with me, Lucy.Copy !req
301. I'm relieved Charlie
has a friend like you.Copy !req
302. Yeah.Copy !req
303. Hope to see you again sometime,
the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.Copy !req
304. Hi, Lucy. Sorry, not ringing a bell.Copy !req
305. Then who was that guy?Copy !req
306. I have no idea.Copy !req
307. But it's true
that I go to the Kornberg Institute.Copy !req
308. I'll be there tomorrow too.Copy !req
309. Hey, Charlie. Who are you messaging with?Copy !req
310. Lucy.Copy !req
311. Lucy... Who's that?Copy !req
312. My friend?Copy !req
313. Did you say your friend?
As in, a friend from school?Copy !req
314. I think so.Copy !req
315. - Hey, that's great—
- Wait.Copy !req
316. Is this friend human? It's not a rabbit
they keep in the schoolyard or something?Copy !req
317. Come on, Hannah.Copy !req
318. Well, Charlie used to name the squirrels
in the forest, didn't he?Copy !req
319. My friend is a female Homo sapiens.Copy !req
320. Really, Charlie?Copy !req
321. That's wonderful. And a girl too?
What grade is she in?Copy !req
322. Where does she live?
What do you talk about?Copy !req
323. You need your privacy. I get it.Copy !req
324. I'm just so curious about your friend.Copy !req
325. Take a look?Copy !req
326. Sorry to drag you all the way out here,
Lucy.Copy !req
327. Are you sure it's okay
for you to miss school?Copy !req
328. It's totally fine.
This is a hundred times more interesting.Copy !req
329. You must be Lucy.Copy !req
330. I'm Dr. Fowler. I'm the head of
the Kornberg Primate Research Institute.Copy !req
331. To cut to the chase, Lucy,
this supposed employee of ours you met...Copy !req
332. Well, the thing is, there's no one
on our staff who fits that description.Copy !req
333. I knew it.Copy !req
334. Knew what?Copy !req
335. Well, I just got the feeling
he was a liar.Copy !req
336. But I think he probably knew that I knew.Copy !req
337. He might be with the media?Copy !req
338. With a little digging, he could have found
out Charlie was being examined here.Copy !req
339. Maybe I should report it to the police,
just to be safe.Copy !req
340. By the way, Lucy.Copy !req
341. Would you like
to come over for dinner this evening?Copy !req
342. The fact is, Hannah's dying to meet you.Copy !req
343. Really? Charlie's mom? I'd love to.Copy !req
344. I'm done.Copy !req
345. Charlie. Looks like I'm gonna get
to meet your mom too.Copy !req
346. - Yeah?
- I'm so pumped.Copy !req
347. Charlie, why don't you go see Eva today?Copy !req
348. Good idea. You can introduce Lucy to her.Copy !req
349. Okay.Copy !req
350. Who's Eva?Copy !req
351. Eva is my biological mother.Copy !req
352. So she's still alive.Copy !req
353. The chimp who gave birth to Charlie.Copy !req
354. You might be the one I'm searching forCopy !req
355. Make this moment last forevermoreCopy !req
356. Starting my day just the same as alwaysCopy !req
357. Even when night ends
And then the dawn finds its wayCopy !req
358. Hey, that's why I rush back into the flowCopy !req
359. Facing all these
Super crazy hectic days I knowCopy !req
360. Singing while it's stabbing my brainCopy !req
361. Just like filling up the holes remainedCopy !req
362. I'll keep on breaking through
Without stoppingCopy !req
363. Even if insaneCopy !req
364. Are you sure?Copy !req
365. I know it's boring, right?
I pray softlyCopy !req
366. Even if I live how I want, I'm lonelyCopy !req
367. Stacking fragile things
That will fade somedayCopy !req
368. Just same as you
I am also just lonely, fall awayCopy !req
369. Turn It Up!Copy !req
370. There's no way I can stop nowCopy !req
371. Turn It Up!Copy !req
372. Let it sway with a gentle soundCopy !req
373. Turn It Up!Copy !req
374. Every thought I have of youCopy !req
375. Turn It Up!Copy !req
376. Riding straight to happiness tooCopy !req
377. Annie ChenCopy !req
