Back with Dr. Canley, he and another scientist, Dr. Kemp, are looking in Griffin's office for clues about his whereabouts, his activities, and they found a note mentioning a strange ingredient called monocaine. So, apparently, experiments with this were for, like, laundry detergent and, like, erasing stains, maybe.

Bleach, yeah. Because it sucks all the color out of things. What an insane, like, back venue. It's like, whoa! Now they're like, come on!

the science of sound see but in some like german experiments super obscure things went horribly wrong and the patients went mad crazy so they're like uh oh we need to find him and let him know no he's already mad i do love a descent into madness he's already there at the start of the film but he does get worse

75.856 - 97.641 Unknown Speaker 2

It's so cool, like, how subtle it is at first. Like, yes, he's very abrasive. And so you're just like, okay, maybe it's just a rude man. And there's a lot of suspense and tension building and whatnot. But I think it's really, like, eventually they do start to portray the madness more. more and more, but I feel like it is still subdued compared to today's movies that are so big.

98.101 - 116.334 Unknown Speaker 2

And so it can be, we're maybe desensitized to it, but I think for this time period, it is so exaggerated that he comes off as a monster and maybe that's how he fits in that monster verse a little bit. Like it's like a human that's been manipulated by science in some way. And then there's evil is kind of their formula. Yeah.

116.67 - 138.364 Jillian

That's a great point. Well, this evil human finds his way to Kemp's house and sneaks in. He demands to stay there with Kemp, threatening him and claims that he's his partner in crime, essentially. It's kind of unclear what Griffin wants, but he basically wants to rule the world with his invisibility and do a few murders, as he says.

138.564 - 140.786 Unknown Speaker 2

Just a couple murders. Just a couple.
