The Lazarus Effect Page #3

- Yeah, I just think you can't discount

every near-death experience

based on one theory.

Of course. But if you're going

to make a bet,

why not bet on a scientific theory

as opposed to, you know,

St. Peter and the pearly white gates?

- Why?

- Because one is empirical and one is,

you know, it's a cute story, but it's...

No, it's not. I mean, whatever you

wanna call it, the soul, consciousness,

it's just neural impulses firing in

your brain, right? That makes it energy.

Energy can't be created or destroyed,

it can just be transformed

from one thing to another.

So that's not superstition,

that's science.

So what's your theory?

I think, maybe when we die, the DM is there to help our souls move on,

to get them wherever

they're supposed to be.

- You know, open the door for them.

- So the DMT is like a doorman

who is like,

"Here. Here's life, here's death.

I'm gonna open this up

and usher you through."

- Maybe.

- And you give him a tip.

I just think it's arrogant

to reduce everything that happens

at the moment of death

to one chemical equation.

The fact is, we just don't know.

Yet.

- Whoa. What's the HDR?

- Uh, 2.2 seconds.

That's well within levels.

Whoa. That's weird.

The serum is still present

in the bloodstream.

Yeah, it's supposed to dissipate within,

like, a few hours.

Man, there's some crazy activity

going on in the brain stem.

Are you guys sure you wanna

keep this thing in your house?

- Why?

- One of the symptoms of hypothyroidism

is extreme aggression.

This thing could

go Cujo here in a hurry.

It's alive! It's alive!

Come here.

You are my friend.

Sh*t!

Niko?

Whoa.

Sh*t.

Rocky?

Here, boy.

Come here, you little sh*t.

It's OK, bud.

You're just freaking out, man.

Sh*t. OK, OK, OK.

If you ask me, I think we should

put that thing down, now.

- At least you're not overreacting.

- Overreacting, my ass!

OK? There's something

seriously wrong with that animal.

It's like it was possessed or something.

- How long were you out of the room?

- I don't know, 20 seconds, tops.

- And no, I wasn't smoking.

- Hey, guys?

This stuff was on the top shelf,

and even if you left the cage open,

there's no way he could've got up here.

OK, so far, we've seen

three distinct phases of development.

Phase one:
Subject is resuscitated

through an infusion of LAZ-510 serum

and targeted electrical stimulation.

Phase two:
The serum remains in

the bloodstream longer than anticipated.

Phase three:
Metabolic functions

produce a potentially disruptive

hormonal imbalance.

Subject shows signs of confusion,

loss of appetite,

and marked signs of aggression.

Now we're in phase four, I guess.

The subject's brain
