Judas Iscariot.
:02:04
Loving husband.
:02:07
Prodigal son.
:02:09
Prince of Denmark.
:02:12
All of these? None of these?
:02:17
You decide.
:02:20
Trumpet player.
:02:22
Speed freak.
:02:25
Speed.
:02:28
That's as good a place
to start as any.
:02:31
But first, a little background
on the mad world of the tweeker.
:02:37
Methedrine was first distilled by a
Japanese scientist before WWll.
:02:42
Hand it to the Japanese, they knew
a good thing when they saw it.
:02:47
This guy is so tweeked he thinks
he can survive this without a scratch.
:02:54
Maybe not.
:02:56
By some estimates, 2%of the Japanese
had a meth problem after the war.
:03:02
Factory workers, soldiers, pilots.
:03:05
That's why it took two bombs
to get them to surrender.
:03:08
A nuclear blast is just a minor
nuisance to a determined tweeker.
:03:13
In the '50s,
the housewives got ahold of it.
:03:16
Dexedrine, Benzedrine, Methedrine.
:03:19
Now, that's a classic
speed freak for you.
:03:22
Skinny and cleaning house.
:03:24
Her husband never knew
what hit him in the sack.
:03:30
It's rumored that one of our presidents
dabbled with energy shots.
:03:35
Imagine that, a slammer
in the White House.
:03:38
If it's true, I bet Khrushchev
never got a word in edgewise.
:03:42
By the late '60s, the government
cracked down and sent it underground.
:03:47
Bikers controlled the market
for a while.
:03:50
Now anyone with a chemistry kit and
the ingredients can cook it at home.
:03:57
Ever see a long-haired,
tattooed freak...
