Tallman

"The world's ending and people are gonna die one way or the other, whether it is Mr. Rabbit or something boring like climate change, it's over."

- Tallman to Becky Todd

Tallman is a character from Prime Video's. He appears only in a deleted scene, trying to secure the Utopia manuscript for himself. He is a collector of last editions of comics.

History
Becky Todd arrives inside Tallman's lair and shows him the manuscript of Utopia. He motions for her to sit and then he sniffs her, telling her that it's desperation. He explains that he's a collector, not of first editions of comic books like most rich people, but rather of last editions. He reveals that Phillip Carson from Fringecon was his buyer, but his plan to get the comic was thwarted when Carson was killed. He offers to give her a supply of the pills she needs to relieve the symptoms of her Diels syndrome in exchange for the comic. Becky is shocked that he would simply take the comic and put it under a display case, saying it could be used for good. He tells her that the world is going to end no matter what. He tells her that he's offering her fair deal, but she refuses the offer. Aggravated, he takes the bag of pills and empties them all into a fish tank, calling her a wounded animal who needs to crawl off and die.

Becky leaves, but things do not end there. He instead pursues her in a car chase, determined to finish her off himself and still claim the manuscript despite her having refused the deal. She manages to elude him, however, and then another car crashes into his car, wrecking it. He emerges from the car, badly wounded and then the woman who was driving the other car walks up to him and punches him. She demands to know what he wants and he explains that he wanted to make a deal with Becky for Utopia. She drags Becky over, asking him if she made the deal, and he tells her that she didn't, even though it was a fair deal. She lets Becky go and demands to know who sent him, if it was Mr. Rabbit. He realizes, realizing, stunned, that she's Jessica Hyde. She then shoots him in the head.
