00:00:32 Here's what's going to happen.
00:00:36 and you're going to listen,
00:00:39 You're not going to interrupt.
00:00:43 Now, some of this you know.
00:00:50 Meticulous, yes. Methodical. Educated.
00:00:54 They were these things.
00:00:56 Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied.
00:00:59 There were days of mistakes
00:01:03 And there were days, good days,
00:01:07 they would have to be considered clever.
00:01:10 No one would say
00:01:14 It wouldn't even be considered new.
00:01:18 They took from their surroundings
00:01:21 and made of it something more.
00:01:23 - We haven't even set up an appointment.
00:01:27 - The 28th. Why?
00:01:30 Have you thought any more
00:01:36 - Not really.
00:01:38 I mean I haven't changed my mind
00:01:41 Phillip and I were talking,
00:01:48 Nobody's saying it wouldn't be fun.
00:01:50 The time for jacking around with tesla coils
00:01:54 Maybe you should try it on your own
00:01:57 My free time? The free time
00:02:00 or after the 30 hours of free time
00:02:04 And it's not a tesla coil.
00:02:06 I could save a few minutes a day
00:02:09 How many patents do we have?
00:02:12 - Did you sign the agreement?
00:02:15 Doesn't matter,
00:02:17 Name one thing out of that garage
00:02:20 I don't see anybody quitting their jobs
00:02:24 Abe just means that right now
00:02:27 When you look at the addresses, we have
00:02:31 But these are not the bulk orders
00:02:34 - These are the quiet basement--
00:02:36 Yeah, hacker wannabes
00:02:41 And I know that a lot of that is my fault,
00:02:45 With everything last year, and the doubletalk
00:02:50 - and all the stuff we won't get into now--
00:02:54 I'm sorry. What?
00:02:57 Go ahead. Tell him.
00:03:01 We should get into it.
00:03:03 He knows of two other cases like that
00:03:06 - Let Platts know that we're talking about it.
00:03:09 This has got to be about what
00:03:13 and what is going to get us VC attention.
00:03:15 Look, I stuck by you guys
00:03:19 And I wasn't 100% sure
00:03:21 or even if I didn't agree, maybe.
00:03:25 But if it's my turn...
00:03:27 if we're still playing by the rules,
00:03:34 Here, take it.
00:03:37 Robert, please. It's not going to hold.
00:03:39 - It's going to go bad in my car.
00:03:42 - Good night, all.
00:03:47 - We just got done giving this huge speech--
00:03:50 We just got done. It was five minutes ago.
00:03:53 I'm the one that forced the issue. They're
00:03:57 - You should do it. You could fake it better.
00:04:01 As long as we're going down this road
00:04:04 and happy fun time out in that garage,
00:04:08 Phillip and Robert are gung ho on theirs,
00:04:11 But you know I have no interest in that.
00:04:14 I know you have no interest,
00:04:16 that Phillip and Robert don't even need us.
00:04:20 For what I want to do? We don't need them.
00:04:22 Not even Phillip,
00:04:26 - Is she asleep?
00:04:29 - She'll wind up in the closet if I do it.
00:04:33 You know, even if Robert's okay with it,
00:04:36 - I don't understand what that thing will do.
00:04:41 - They do theirs, we do ours.
00:04:44 Don't eat that. Seriously, it's bad.
00:04:46 We threw the first couple of batches out.
00:04:48 What about crushed?
00:04:52 These guys are funded.
00:04:53 - These guys are... What?
00:04:57 That's what this is.
00:04:58 That's the whole difference.
00:05:01 We don't have to play the game
00:05:04 coming up with innovative ways to make it
00:05:08 - Aaron, I need the hexagonal set.
00:05:11 By coming at it from the back end,
00:05:14 the surrounding temperature,
00:05:17 the transition temperature.
00:05:20 They're dropping the ceramic,
00:05:24 It makes the ceramic less resistant
00:05:28 What I'm saying is
00:05:31 Focus our own magnetic field to negate,
00:05:34 what's going on inside the ceramic.
00:05:36 That should change the transition
00:05:40 - What are we saying that is?
00:05:45 What is that about?
00:05:48 - What did you ask for?
00:05:51 - What did you call it?
00:05:52 - Are these Type One?
00:05:54 Yeah, they're Type One.
00:05:56 Is that going to be a problem?
00:05:58 There's plenty lying around at work,
00:06:01 - lf I have to, I'll buy the kits.
00:06:05 What?
00:06:07 - I can get them.
00:06:10 I thought you didn't like this idea.
00:06:11 Buy them if you have to.
00:06:15 What about the source here?
00:06:16 You know that story
00:06:19 developing this pen that writes in zero-G?
00:06:23 - And how Russia solved the problem?
00:06:26 Right, a normal wooden pencil.
00:06:29 It just seems like Phillip takes
00:06:32 - Palladium?
00:06:35 They use a ratio of platinum and palladium.
00:06:37 That's not necessary
00:06:39 They're just showing off.
00:06:42 I want to get a replacement router.
00:06:43 - I'm putting down four ounces of palladium.
00:06:46 - I already got his.
00:06:48 - Okay. Where are you getting it?
00:06:52 - Okay. Can you get a receipt, please?
00:06:55 Wait, platinum or palladium
00:06:57 - Abe? It's not a--
00:07:00 - So resistance doesn't matter.
00:07:02 - Did you jiggle the--
00:07:04 - Robert did it.
00:07:08 - Well, then, which is cheaper?
00:07:11 Well, unless you've got
00:07:15 Why would they put it in there
00:07:18 One catalytic converter. It's fine.
00:07:20 Remember to put it back.
00:07:23 - Is there enough in here?
00:07:25 If not, we'll pull the one out of my truck.
00:07:36 - This will be out of commission, right?
00:07:40 - We can use the Freon, too.
00:07:44 I know, just in case.
00:07:45 No, wait. Stop. I'll just buy the tubing.
00:07:55 - Jay? Hey, man. How are you?
00:08:19 Should we be wearing goggles?
00:08:24 - Should we be wearing goggles?
00:08:26 Goggles. Should we be wearing goggles?
00:08:36 Wait. Phillip, you don't want
00:08:38 Phillip, grab a mask, okay?
00:09:21 It is, though, right? It's not just me?
00:09:24 No, it's definitely smaller, but it just seems
00:09:29 Minus the coolant which we don't need.
00:09:32 The rest of it is the mercury bath...
00:09:34 which you would know better than I do,
00:09:39 I mean, you have it, you got to use it, right?
00:09:45 - What? Does it hurt?
00:09:47 That sound is just weirding me out.
00:09:55 - What does it feel like?
00:09:57 I don't know if I'm making it up.
00:10:01 Here.
00:10:16 - Next part. Let's do the next part.
00:10:27 Isn't there some sort of glass
00:10:30 Anything we can use as a window? Pyrex?
00:10:33 - Yeah, I'm in.
00:10:35 I don't know of anything
00:10:38 But we got to see what's going on in there.
00:10:40 - How much did that cost?
00:10:44 - What?
00:10:46 inside the box that's so dangerous
00:10:53 If something happens,
00:10:58 So we have a slightly negative pressure
00:11:01 So we're ready for the argon.
00:11:04 - Which one is that?
00:11:08 I weighed it at 77 grams.
00:11:12 I set the scale to decagrams, though.
00:11:14 I'm showing 7.7 decagrams.
00:11:19 Ready for...
00:11:21 0.05 liters of argon.
00:11:34 - You ready?
00:11:37 Right, first just the plate, and then we'II...
00:11:45 Let's just give it a second.
00:12:05 - You want to do the box now?
00:12:08 Let's go through the checklist.
00:12:10 Let's make sure everything's set up right.
00:12:16 Just wait.
00:12:29 Okay.
00:12:40 Anything?
00:12:42 - Is this normal?
00:12:46 - I'm turning it off.
00:12:51 - Okay, I didn't do that.
00:12:56 Yeah, we did. That's destroyed.
00:13:00 - You want to check your camera?
00:13:03 - Let's get this.
00:13:05 One, two, three.
00:13:21 Hey. Tell me you're hungry.
00:13:25 Yeah, I'm hungry. What...
00:13:27 Abe, it's 7:00. Abe, it's 7:00 at night.
00:13:31 - Okay, yeah, I have food--
00:13:34 - Wait, are those kids there?
00:13:38 Yeah, they're here.
00:13:40 Okay, screw that, let's just go somewhere.
00:13:44 Come up first. I have some stuff
00:13:47 All right, but meet me at the door.
00:13:49 - Okay, all right.
00:13:52 Okay. All right. See you.
00:14:08 - What's up, Abe?
00:14:11 Good.
00:14:22 - How long did he say he would be there?
00:14:25 If he's got problems, he's got to fix them.
00:14:28 I know. I just thought it would be good
00:14:32 It definitely is charity.
00:14:38 You feel like a steak? To eat.
00:14:42 I don't want a steak. Let's just
00:14:45 - I have some stuff I want to try out.
00:14:48 We can get some tacos on the way,
00:14:52 What are you talking about?
00:15:00 It's stable?
00:15:03 Aaron, it's stable?
00:15:13 - What did you do to this thing?
00:15:16 - It looks like a dog digested it.
00:15:20 I rigged this into the box
00:15:23 - I figured it's the easiest way--
00:15:26 The plate stays the same.
00:15:34 Okay. You hear that? How it's...
00:15:37 See, I'm not touching it anymore.
00:15:40 It's like a feedback loop,
00:15:43 And what you do is when it gets there,
00:15:48 and there you go, it coasts.
00:15:54 So it works?
00:15:56 - Yeah, it does.
00:15:59 It knocks another couple of points
00:16:02 You may want to come over here
00:16:06 Okay, what am I looking at?
00:16:07 - What are we pulling out of the batteries?
00:16:11 - I mean, no more than that, right?
00:16:13 So your meter's jacked up.
00:16:15 That's what I figured. So I tried three others.
00:16:19 - I spent all last night--
00:16:21 I spent last night and a two-hour break
00:16:25 There's something wrong here. We're not
00:16:29 - Slightly more.
00:16:31 It's not like a volt and a half
00:16:34 It's probably the batteries.
00:16:39 That is weird, though.
00:16:43 You want to see something weirder?
00:16:46 Okay, let's go over this again.
00:16:51 What are we pulling out of this one?
00:16:56 Twelve volts.
00:17:08 - How about this one?
00:17:20 So, what the hell is this thing?
00:17:23 It doesn't stay like that.
00:17:26 No, it winds down in a few minutes.
00:17:34 I don't know. I'll tell them something.
00:17:38 It should just be a day or two, anyways.
00:17:41 - Unless you want to bring them in.
00:17:45 If Phillip finds out about that
00:17:48 - No. I'm just putting a little tweak on it.
00:17:53 Abe, it's my garage, okay?
00:17:57 There was value in the thing.
00:18:01 But what is the application?
00:18:04 they had pinned it to everything
00:18:08 Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets.
00:18:10 Everything would be cheaper.
00:18:13 But above all that, beyond the positives...
00:18:15 they knew that the easiest way
00:18:17 is to sell something
00:18:20 So they kept quiet.
00:18:23 Any birthday, anniversary, holiday...
00:18:26 maybe some obscure project launch.
00:18:30 What was important is that Thomas Granger,
00:18:35 If he left a little earlier than
00:18:39 He was only there
00:18:42 And she was only there to please Abe.
00:18:47 What did you say
00:18:49 - Did you flip my burger?
00:18:52 You have to call him, like,
00:18:55 - Go ahead.
00:18:59 - He thinks we're kids.
00:19:01 he looks at you like you're a 6-year-old kid.
00:19:06 Abe had taken on the task
00:19:11 But as weeks became months...
00:19:13 their enthusiasm became a slow realization
00:20:00 There he is.
00:20:02 - Where'd you call?
00:20:06 I'm not there.
00:20:09 Really?
00:20:12 - March Madness?
00:20:15 - Who's up?
00:20:19 Do you have anything important
00:20:21 I hope you're not implying
00:20:26 I was going to come give you
00:20:30 friends for a long time and built up trust,
00:20:33 But how about this instead?
00:20:35 If you ditch work this afternoon and promise
00:20:39 I will in return show you
00:20:42 that any living organism has ever witnessed.
00:20:45 Well, it looks like mustard to me.
00:20:49 I know, but it's a film. It's a protein...
00:20:52 secreted by a fungus
00:20:55 He told you that?
00:20:56 No, he knew it was a protein
00:20:59 All he really did was just take some pictures
00:21:02 Guess where we're going.
00:21:03 - Do you know where Will is?
00:21:06 The Ariel meeting
00:21:08 I thought he was waiting around for it.
00:21:11 What do they do with engineers
00:21:14 - What, Bradshaw?
00:21:16 I do know where Will is.
00:21:19 - Okay. Thanks.
00:21:21 - You got to drive.
00:21:25 Okay, if you can, just pretend
00:21:29 And if you would just
00:21:33 - Okay, so what is it?
00:21:37 - Okay, can you just tell him?
00:21:41 - But what kind?
00:21:44 - Some fungus.
00:21:47 - I don't know. You were to take it to the lab.
00:21:51 - You were in design, weren't you?
00:21:54 How did you get over here?
00:21:56 Do you know what they do
00:21:59 They take them out and shoot them.
00:22:01 What the hell, Abe?
00:22:04 - I want you to believe it.
00:22:08 - I believe you.
00:22:10 this guy already thinks it's a joke,
00:22:13 Really? Why would he think that?
00:22:28 Please.
00:22:32 Aspergillus Ticor.
00:22:34 This is a fungus that's everywhere.
00:22:37 It's in our bed, our skin,
00:22:42 It's basically the reason you don't leave
00:22:47 Thank you.
00:22:55 There it is. Terger. T-E-R-G-E-R.
00:22:59 Okay, when I showed you this,
00:23:05 - You thought it was a joke, right?
00:23:09 Right, but how did you know?
00:23:14 Will you show him? Please?
00:23:25 This is how I get protein A
00:23:29 We agitate it. We spin it around.
00:23:32 - Takes about a month.
00:23:36 To get the same amount I brought in.
00:23:38 So if it's an incubator for fungus,
00:23:40 - That's not what it is.
00:23:42 There's another way to secrete
00:23:46 But that takes a lot longer.
00:23:48 If it has a little moisture and it's left alone,
00:23:53 - and build up, but it takes a long time.
00:23:56 - A long time.
00:23:59 To get the same amount of protein
00:24:01 the amount that I was wiping off
00:24:03 and five days later it would accumulate...
00:24:06 he says it would take about five to six years.
00:24:11 I don't want to belittle this guy.
00:24:13 So, I said screw it
00:24:16 - And?
00:24:19 - Where is it? The box?
00:24:24 - Wait, digital or old mechanical?
00:24:29 - And what?
00:24:34 We thought
00:24:36 That we were blocking that information.
00:24:38 I think we're doing more than that.
00:24:42 When you were controlling the feed,
00:24:46 It's important. Parabolas are important.
00:24:51 I don't know, Abe.
00:24:52 I'm going to start it up
00:24:55 with nothing in it. It's empty this time.
00:24:57 That's 22--
00:24:58 In all the equations that describe motion
00:25:01 In all Feynman diagrams what's the
00:25:05 and still get rational answers for?
00:25:08 Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box.
00:25:10 - It's an odd number.
00:25:15 - 1,347, man, you got that fast.
00:25:19 Because this is it. This is what's going on.
00:25:23 Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the B end is 12:01.
00:25:26 All right? We start the machine
00:25:29 - It travels forward--
00:25:32 - There's nothing to write down.
00:25:34 It travels forward normally
00:25:37 When it gets there,
00:25:39 until it should stop, but it curves
00:25:42 When it gets back to the A end...
00:25:46 has experienced a total of two minutes,
00:25:49 - Back around. It curves parabolically.
00:25:51 It comes back around
00:25:54 When it finally exits on the B end...
00:25:56 it's traveled an odd number
00:25:59 What is so special about 1,300?
00:26:02 - This is not empirical.
00:26:04 I don't know why it's not exact.
00:26:08 Every time it hits the B end
00:26:11 a small chance it won't
00:26:14 And for some reason, it takes
00:26:18 It does have to exit, or else
00:26:21 Okay, let's take a look at this.
00:26:24 Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes.
00:26:30 - 1,334 minutes.
00:26:36 Enter at the B end.
00:26:39 Exit at the B end.
00:26:44 - I just want you to see it the way I saw it.
00:26:48 Everything we're putting in that box
00:26:50 And I don't mean grounded to the earth,
00:26:53 We're blocking whatever keeps it
00:26:56 Inside the box, it's like a street,
00:27:00 This isn't frame dragging or wormhole
00:27:04 This is not mechanics and heat.
00:27:10 - We can publish.
00:27:14 No, I mean we can really publish.
00:27:17 Aaron, the Weeble's stupid. It can't move.
00:27:20 Even if we were
00:27:22 it's still going to bounce back and forth
00:27:31 But if it were smart...
00:27:34 it could enter at the B end
00:27:42 You're talking about making a bigger one.
00:27:48 I didn't say anything.
00:27:52 So, you believe me?
00:27:56 No, I don't.
00:27:58 Come on. Let's go get a drink or something.
00:28:05 - We're going to have to move it.
00:28:11 We need a box big enough for a person
00:28:13 I was testing the box. It turns out
00:28:17 The inner ring is strong enough on its own,
00:28:20 A lot more is unnecessary.
00:28:22 is take a lot of these small plates and
00:28:28 How small?
00:28:30 It should be accumulative so a lot of
00:28:34 Yeah, sum of series, that makes sense.
00:28:36 What I was going to say is we need
00:28:40 and turn it on and it won't be disturbed.
00:28:42 We could just lock it in a closet.
00:28:44 Someplace where someone's not going to
00:28:48 And climate-controlled.
00:28:50 Yeah, so whatever, we'll find some place.
00:28:53 So, if we go your route with what?
00:28:56 That's a lot of work. We'd have to...
00:29:01 Abe, you know what we could use?
00:29:06 I know we've seen
00:29:09 I know you're still trying to put
00:29:13 Look, I just want you to understand
00:29:17 I wouldn't do that to you
00:29:20 So when you see this, you can't yell
00:29:25 I know you probably feel like you're
00:29:29 I promise you, you're not. Okay?
00:29:58 Who was that, Abe?
00:30:24 Let's just wait. Six minutes.
00:31:28 Look, you sure you're okay to drive?
00:31:33 What did you do all day?
00:31:39 I spent the day in a hotel room
00:31:44 - I'll just meet you back at the shop.
00:31:49 - I guess I went back to work.
00:31:52 Probably just worked, I guess.
00:31:55 Yeah, probably so.
00:32:02 Look, now that I know about this, Abe...
00:32:05 don't do this again, okay?
00:32:12 Go ahead.
00:32:19 Hey, Rachel.
00:33:03 Why not the lottery?
00:33:05 We can if you want,
00:33:08 And even if we win the full $10 million,
00:33:13 - And that's just one good trade.
00:33:16 - I was just running a test. In and out.
00:33:20 Exactly what you did.
00:33:21 - The first thing I did is call in sick.
00:33:24 - Then I drove to the storage facility.
00:33:28 Then meet me there.
00:33:31 We need to park yours down the road,
00:33:34 - Why are we doing that?
00:33:37 - What is that...
00:33:39 Okay, I'll be patient.
00:33:41 When I got to the storage room,
00:33:45 and I had to tighten it up
00:33:49 - There's leaks?
00:33:55 At 8:30 a.m., I set the timer for 15 minutes...
00:34:00 I jumped in the car,
00:34:04 Okay, I lost it.
00:34:05 - What?
00:34:08 Because the moment we start those
00:34:12 - getting out of them, and--
00:34:15 I don't want to be standing around
00:34:19 While I was on the road at 8:45,
00:34:24 and by 8:49, it was completely warmed up.
00:34:35 In Russellfield, I got a hotel room
00:34:40 Wait, what do you mean "isolate"?
00:34:42 I closed the windows,
00:34:45 the telephone, TV, clock, radio, everything.
00:34:47 I didn't want to take the chance
00:34:50 or seeing something on the news
00:34:52 If we're dealing with causality,
00:34:56 - I just...
00:34:59 - Took myself out of the equation.
00:35:02 Yes.
00:35:05 Then what did you do all day?
00:35:10 - I just sat there. I had some books, but...
00:35:14 Yeah.
00:35:22 "Evacipate."
00:35:28 At 3:30 p.m.,
00:35:32 Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask.
00:35:34 I called my mutual fund company and asked
00:35:38 had the greatest percentage gain that day.
00:35:40 The idea was just to get enough information
00:35:43 Can we just download chart data
00:35:46 But if we do that, I want to use the library
00:36:04 So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15
00:36:09 It cycled down to a tolerable level
00:36:12 The trick is to get in
00:36:15 but before it shuts off completely.
00:36:19 So, does it hurt?
00:36:22 Yeah, it does a little.
00:36:24 It's not bad if you wait for the right time.
00:36:28 - Once you're in, you're fine, though.
00:36:31 I know you've done it,
00:36:34 cancer or male impotence.
00:36:36 But what is your opinion
00:36:39 I can imagine no way
00:36:42 considered anywhere remotely close to safe.
00:36:44 All I know is I spent six hours in there
00:36:50 You still want to do it?
00:37:09 I set the alarm on my stopwatch
00:37:12 I regulated the O2 tank,
00:37:16 Did you?
00:37:18 - What?
00:37:20 Not at first. I've never
00:37:24 but I started sweating and I couldn't find
00:37:29 and I was breathing differently than I was
00:37:33 Eventually, I settled down, and...
00:37:36 I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine
00:37:40 in the dark
00:37:43 It was maybe the most content
00:37:49 I woke up on my own without the alarm...
00:37:52 and waited for the machine to cool down.
00:37:55 It got to a point where it sounded safe
00:37:58 but the stopwatch still showed
00:38:01 so I trusted the math and waited.
00:38:39 That's not a static shock, Abe.
00:38:49 You got out too soon.
00:38:53 You have to wait for the stopwatch
00:38:57 So, we're back here?
00:38:59 Yeah, we're here.
00:39:07 All right. Give me a few minutes.
00:39:12 From there it was easy.
00:39:16 I just left everything the way I found it.
00:39:19 and didn't turn it off,
00:39:22 So your double would find everything
00:39:27 Right, but also, I or my double or someone
00:39:31 So who knows what that would've done
00:39:35 Definitely. So, they're one-time use only.
00:39:37 So then, at that moment, since my double
00:39:42 I had to take a taxi home. But when we go,
00:40:06 - You have a margin account, right?
00:40:10 Good. Today, before 12:30, we'll buy
00:40:16 They'll say their earnings that quarter
00:40:20 and the stock will nearly double
00:40:25 - What do they do?
00:40:27 What does this company do?
00:40:29 I don't know.
00:40:32 The volume is so high that the number
00:40:39 You really don't know what they do?
00:40:47 That's why you spoke about a mid-cap fund,
00:40:51 - Do you think it's too cautious?
00:40:53 I know there's a lot of other stocks
00:40:55 that do a lot more than double,
00:41:36 - My God.
00:41:38 I know, Abe. That's the question.
00:00:05 you've gone the charity route,
00:00:08 with matching his and her yachts
00:00:11 Basically, you have absolute impunity
00:00:14 nobody can touch you.
00:00:15 - You're back from a two-year--
00:00:17 Absolutely, well above. You're fresh back
00:00:22 How do you fill your day? What do you do?
00:00:24 Abe, I know that's the question, but it's not
00:00:29 So what's the answer?
00:00:30 Babe, he knows that's the question, okay?
00:00:35 What do you mean? What would I do
00:00:38 My God, either.
00:00:41 I'd have to do something constructive.
00:00:45 - something that would make me feel good.
00:00:49 - My wife. So good. So pure. You are pure.
00:00:54 This is what I would do:
00:00:58 and I'd go over to Gabriel Capital Inc...
00:01:01 and I would tell Joseph Platts' receptionist
00:01:05 and when he comes out...
00:01:08 I would ram my fist
00:01:12 Just one good punch, one good pow.
00:01:17 - That's amazing. It's about time.
00:01:21 Where did this come from?
00:01:24 - It's unnatural.
00:01:26 no one would find out or get hurt.
00:01:28 Like, I wish that there was a way
00:01:32 and then I go back and tell myself not to.
00:01:33 Because I just want to know
00:01:37 I'm so proud.
00:01:38 Finally, my husband, the hero.
00:01:48 - We can't do that.
00:01:52 Did you call pest control?
00:01:54 Babe, they're birds. You don't want a bunch
00:01:58 - They don't sound like birds.
00:02:03 But the idea had been spoken...
00:02:05 and the words wouldn't go back
00:02:08 So you are understanding this, right?
00:02:10 You don't have to sell me
00:02:13 - I don't think I told you--
00:02:16 your double, from hitting Platts,
00:02:20 And with no need for it,
00:02:23 no advantage at all to be gained from it,
00:02:27 - How would you do it?
00:02:31 - Just for fun.
00:02:34 - But what if there was a way to--
00:02:37 I'm not going to pretend
00:02:40 or what follows them, and honestly,
00:02:44 Kill your mom before you were born,
00:02:48 - I don't know.
00:02:50 The worst thing in the world is to know
00:02:54 has already been defined,
00:02:57 or third time through, or whatever.
00:03:02 I don't know, maybe things aren't right,
00:03:06 or just not what you would like
00:03:11 People are always blaming their parents...
00:03:14 as if, if their mom had breastfed them,
00:03:17 Bunch of whiners.
00:03:18 Yeah, they are. But what if it wasn't
00:03:22 What if you knew this is not the way
00:03:25 I'm not like that. I'm not into the whole
00:03:29 I'm not, either. But what's worse?
00:03:31 Thinking you're being paranoid
00:03:40 You don't have to look at me like that.
00:03:49 No, I just assumed that you would.
00:03:52 - I know that when I decided to tell you--
00:03:56 I knew that you are married and that there's
00:04:01 - It's not a matter of trust.
00:04:02 It's just how much better will it be
00:04:05 I surprise her and we all just fly
00:04:09 We'll let her understand it gradually.
00:04:12 For now, you can tell her
00:04:15 - You don't understand.
00:04:17 You don't understand the questions
00:04:19 But we'll explain it to her,
00:04:22 to figure out what's next...
00:04:23 which, I think, should be building
00:04:27 where more than one person could fit in.
00:04:29 Safe or not,
00:04:33 By the way, this is our guy.
00:04:35 - What's the volume?
00:04:40 What's the return? Holy...
00:04:45 No, I can't beat that. But mainly, I guess
00:04:50 I don't want to tell them.
00:04:51 I know they have a lot invested
00:04:53 I don't want to tell them.
00:04:55 If you need me to take the guilt on this one,
00:04:58 I accept it gladly. It's mine.
00:05:00 At the end of this week,
00:05:03 I'll turn over patent rights on everything
00:05:06 They can have the equipment,
00:05:09 They can have my truck
00:05:12 But I am not telling them a thing
00:05:29 God, everything is so different in there.
00:05:32 You can feel how cut off you are.
00:05:34 It's this entirely separate world
00:05:37 And the sound.
00:05:41 It's like it's singing.
00:05:44 - I had this dream in there.
00:05:50 I was on or near the ocean,
00:05:55 It was so uneventful.
00:05:57 At night.
00:06:13 Come here for a second, man.
00:06:16 - Are you bleeding?
00:06:18 - Turn around.
00:06:20 Where is it coming from? It's your notebook.
00:06:22 - It's you. My gosh, it's on your ear.
00:06:26 - Your ear's bleeding. Man.
00:06:33 - Is that normal? This isn't normal.
00:06:36 for people.
00:06:58 Great. I can actually
00:07:00 Hi, guys, what's going on?
00:07:02 I always seem to get a lot more done
00:07:04 He says they had to spray again.
00:07:06 But he can't tell us about it in advance.
00:07:09 You never see anything around here
00:07:12 - I know.
00:07:13 - What?
00:07:15 - Hey, man, thanks for the present.
00:07:18 You know what? You guys, both of you,
00:07:22 Wait. What did you call him?
00:07:23 - What?
00:07:25 - He didn't tell you about it?
00:07:27 All right. Rachel's ex-boyfriend
00:07:31 - What?
00:07:33 I've already gotten that speech from Kara.
00:07:35 - Filby!
00:07:37 It's funny how you two are the only people
00:07:41 - Everybody else thinks I did a good thing.
00:07:43 You can't risk your life and
00:07:47 for someone like Rachel.
00:07:48 She practically begs
00:07:50 I figured at least you'd understand.
00:07:52 Understand what?
00:07:54 That's what I mean.
00:07:58 Different? How are things different?
00:08:01 You see it, okay? I know you do.
00:08:07 Look, that was the night...
00:08:09 you had told me everything
00:08:11 Everything you showed me was so fresh
00:08:15 I'm looking at him.
00:08:18 I wasn't going
00:08:21 I know it was stupid, okay?
00:08:23 But I mean, this whole idea,
00:08:27 It just took some getting used to for me.
00:08:32 If it was just you, you had to worry about,
00:08:35 But you have a family now,
00:08:38 anything like this would be crazy.
00:08:40 - I know, okay.
00:08:43 - I know, okay?
00:08:49 You little sack of...
00:08:52 It's not my fault if I don't know,
00:08:56 Then what are we doing out here?
00:08:58 She worries about the cat.
00:09:12 - I don't know.
00:09:14 It's embarrassing that the storage room guy
00:09:17 but he never sees us leave.
00:09:19 Yeah, but what do you think
00:09:21 about two guys that come
00:09:28 Did you unplug this?
00:09:33 You brought your cell phone?
00:09:37 Can I check the caller ID?
00:09:41 Yeah, we're not back.
00:09:44 Yeah, but you can't take it back
00:09:52 This is Aaron. Hey, babe.
00:09:55 I'm not there. I had to come downtown
00:09:59 Tell me.
00:10:01 That sounds good.
00:10:05 Save mine, though. I'll have it later.
00:10:08 Okay. Yeah, 6:00.
00:11:15 - What?
00:11:17 We're supposed to win this by two,
00:11:21 - We have to foul.
00:11:25 What? No, we foul here,
00:11:29 - and they come back with the three.
00:11:31 That's right.
00:11:39 Man, are you hungry?
00:11:46 What's up, you guys?
00:11:55 - You have got to be kidding.
00:11:58 - It's Kara?
00:12:03 How do cell phones work?
00:12:05 If there's two duplicate phones
00:12:08 do they both ring at the same time,
00:12:10 - That's not how they work.
00:12:13 No, it's a network.
00:12:14 It checks each area and
00:12:17 It rings the first one.
00:12:21 - This one is ringing.
00:12:24 So the one your double has in Russellfield
00:12:26 Right. I think we broke symmetry.
00:12:30 - Are you sure that's how cell phones work?
00:12:35 You feel all right?
00:12:37 - I feel fine. Do you?
00:13:09 Is Kara asleep? Did I wake you up?
00:13:11 Yeah. No, not me, it felt more like a nap.
00:13:15 I think my body's getting used to
00:13:19 We can do this, but we have to do it now.
00:13:21 - Do you have his home address?
00:13:24 We were planning on taking a trip
00:13:27 Yeah, for stocks.
00:13:29 Okay, well, half an hour ago I was asleep.
00:13:33 These kids were down skating by,
00:13:36 So we go right now, do our business
00:13:40 and come back before
00:13:43 All we really have to do is stand there
00:13:47 That way my double
00:13:49 they don't have this conversation,
00:13:55 - They'll be changed. But--
00:14:01 Wait, how do we go back that far
00:14:07 - Have they been running?
00:14:11 I started going by at 5:00,and turning them on, 5:00 p.m.
00:14:15 I got tired of the whole
00:14:17 Are we doing this as an experiment
00:14:20 - A little of both.
00:14:23 If we get this done by 3:00,
00:14:28 I've got the O2 tanks in the car.
00:14:46 - Is that...
00:14:50 No, that's not Rachel's, that's her dad's.
00:14:54 Did you see that?
00:14:56 That's Mr. Granger. That's Thomas.
00:15:00 What?
00:15:02 I swear that was him.
00:15:04 sitting outside my house
00:15:09 I don't believe this.
00:15:11 - What are you doing?
00:15:14 No, let's just get out
00:15:17 - Did you see him today?
00:15:22 I did. I saw him this afternoon...
00:15:25 around 6:00.
00:15:26 Are you sure you didn't see him
00:15:28 No, what?
00:15:30 I'm positive this afternoon
00:15:33 He was ready to go to some function
00:15:36 He looks like he's got
00:15:38 - Are you sure?
00:15:46 Rachel. This is Abe. Did I wake you up?
00:15:51 Can I get your dad's number
00:15:54 Yeah. Okay, go ahead.
00:15:59 - Yeah, thanks.
00:16:02 He's just sitting there.
00:16:04 He got out for a second
00:16:08 and then he got back in the car.
00:16:12 Hi, sorry to call so late.
00:16:15 May I speak to Thomas Granger, please?
00:16:19 Yeah, this is James Miller
00:16:23 Hi, Mr. Granger?
00:16:26 Thomas Granger?
00:16:32 What are you doing here? Come here!
00:16:49 What happened?
00:16:52 I'm okay. I slipped.
00:17:05 I want to know what box he used.
00:17:08 Yeah. How many do you think I made?
00:17:14 These are set right. I turned them on at 5:00.
00:17:17 He could have used one
00:17:20 He could be in one of them right now.
00:17:26 I say we shut them off
00:17:29 Were you planning on talking to him?
00:17:31 Just tell me if you were.
00:17:34 No, I promise you. You know I wouldn't.
00:17:35 Are you sure you wouldn't?
00:17:37 You're the one he can't get near
00:17:42 There is no way
00:17:45 - Can you think of any reason you might?
00:17:47 Sometimes we do things
00:17:50 - No, I can't.
00:17:51 I can't think of any reason why I would.
00:17:55 Well, I can't either.
00:17:58 What if it was an emergency?
00:18:01 - So you'd do it if it was an emergency?
00:18:06 I don't know. What kind of emergency?
00:18:10 The permutations were endless.
00:18:14 They tried again going to the source...
00:18:16 but even while keeping him separated
00:18:19 Ask him his name.
00:18:20 ...Granger's condition
00:18:23 What did he say?
00:18:24 From this they deduced
00:18:27 but beyond that, found themselves
00:18:31 and once again,
00:18:33 - What do you think he changed?
00:18:35 We didn't have any contact with him
00:18:39 I know he changed this. I know we weren't
00:18:43 so you don't know what we lost.
00:18:44 It really could not have been much.
00:18:46 It doesn't matter how much.
00:18:49 I know what you're saying.
00:18:50 The question should have been...
00:18:52 what to do with the comatose man
00:18:54 But in Abe's mind
00:19:04 Two mg of oral triazolam...
00:19:06 every seven hours induces a safe sleep state
00:19:12 At this continued state of rest...
00:19:14 the human body breathes
00:19:17 or roughly 2,000 liters in four days.
00:19:20 A Class E oxygen tank holds 625 liters.
00:19:24 To maintain hydration...
00:19:26 the body cycles through a minimum
00:19:30 Any food would be a luxury...
00:19:33 but the small tank
00:19:36 would be needed on the other side.
00:19:38 Past the room that contained their machines
00:19:42 he made his way to another room...
00:19:43 where he had stored what I will refer to
00:21:29 There he is.
00:21:34 Really?
00:21:36 Your cell and work.
00:21:43 I'm not there.
00:21:44 Really?
00:21:50 I don't even know what.
00:21:55 I'm just tired.
00:21:56 I hope you're not implying
00:22:14 I was going to come give you
00:22:17 friends for a long time and built up trust,
00:22:20 But how about this instead?
00:22:21 If you ditch work this afternoon and promise
00:22:26 I will in return show you
00:22:28 that any living organism has ever witnessed.
00:22:33 At this point
00:22:39 Abe would, of course, want to know how.
00:22:44 Aaron would have to explain
00:22:48 and how it showed two rooms
00:22:52 Then Abe would need to know how.
00:22:56 Aaron would explain
00:22:59 and found the Failsafe running...
00:23:00 he knew exactly what it was.
00:23:04 But Abe would ask how.
00:23:07 And then the bit
00:23:10 and how it meant he could fold one up
00:23:14 They are not one-time use only.
00:23:16 They are recyclable, Aaron would say.
00:23:25 How, Abe would ask.
00:23:30 And Aaron would describe
00:23:33 when you know precisely
00:23:37 even in a world of tamper-proof lids.
00:24:02 How?
00:24:04 And that's where
00:24:07 Or exited, depending on your reference.
00:24:12 Because when Aaron came back
00:24:18 He wasn't expecting me to put up a fight.
00:24:20 And by that time,
00:24:25 But for reasons
00:24:28 I understood that he simply wanted it more.
00:24:30 That he just had more invested. So I left.
00:24:35 He had already performed the task,
00:24:38 of recording the conversations of the day
00:24:41 Through that earpiece
00:24:45 Aaron, you need some sleep.
00:24:48 I can't. I've got a schedule.
00:24:52 He had but to speak aloud the words
00:24:56 and those around him would fall in line.
00:25:19 This is Track 3.
00:25:21 Abe is bringing my car around
00:25:24 I'll see Will there.
00:25:25 I'll invite him to the party and make sure
00:25:30 Will.
00:25:33 You pretentious prick.
00:25:35 What the hell is that?
00:25:37 - No, it's a radio, man.
00:25:40 - You look like Secret Service.
00:25:43 What? What the hell
00:25:46 Yeah, I know. Sorry.
00:25:47 Nice shot, Aaron.
00:25:51 Brick. That is ugly, Aaron.
00:25:53 We could have used that
00:25:55 At least you've got your golf game.
00:25:59 You come out here with your $3 tie
00:26:03 What are you doing tonight?
00:26:05 I was supposed to be in Raleigh.
00:26:08 - You know Robert?
00:26:09 He's got a birthday tonight.
00:26:12 - I'm just going to hang out with my cousin.
00:26:16 - Big reunion.
00:26:34 I don't think I'm doing this.
00:26:38 Why not?
00:26:41 Because I can think of a million
00:26:44 and nobody comes anywhere near
00:26:46 I can call her and see
00:26:49 or better yet,
00:26:51 That's good fortonight. What about
00:26:55 - I'll take care of tomorrow, tomorrow.
00:26:58 This guy is crazy enough to walk
00:27:01 What do you think he'll do
00:27:04 This way, we know exactly what happens.
00:27:07 At the end of the night,
00:27:11 That's the way it goes.
00:27:14 Now come on, it has to be you.
00:27:16 She said she was there
00:27:25 Don't tell me I came back
00:27:32 He doesn't fire?
00:27:35 - No. He didn't fire.
00:27:36 - Not even when you rushed him?
00:27:39 He didn't the time I was, when I rushed him.
00:27:42 And from what Robert tells you,
00:27:44 He doesn't have the nerve.
00:27:47 Okay? We're prescient.
00:27:55 We can still be careful.
00:27:57 Maybe we can get to the gun
00:28:00 We definitely can.
00:28:02 He leaves it in the truck
00:28:05 - but if it makes you feel better--
00:28:11 What do you mean?
00:28:12 Why can't we write like normal people?
00:28:17 I don't know. I can see the letters.
00:28:22 I know what they should look like.
00:28:27 Try comparing it to your left hand.
00:28:50 Guess what today is.
00:28:55 No, no. It's your friend Robert's birthday.
00:28:59 He says he likes records,
00:29:02 No, real records, like vinyl.
00:29:04 I can tell you with certainty
00:29:09 But I think it would do little good,
00:29:13 the actuality,
00:29:18 So how many times did it take Aaron...
00:29:21 as he cycled
00:29:23 lip-synching trivia over and over?
00:29:26 How many times would it take
00:29:30 Three? Four?
00:29:33 Twenty?
00:29:35 I've decided to believe
00:29:38 I can almost sleep at night
00:29:42 Slowly and methodically,
00:29:49 He took from his surroundings
00:29:51 and made of it something more.
00:30:06 And once the details had been
00:30:09 there would be nothing left to do
00:30:17 Maybe the obligatory
00:30:20 until the noise of the room
00:30:23 and background screams
00:30:28 And eventually he must have got it perfect
00:30:32 with all the praise and adoration
00:30:35 He had probably saved lives, after all.
00:30:39 Who knows what would have happened
00:30:57 I know that things are bad, okay?
00:31:01 I know that you don't agree
00:31:05 I know that you're upset.
00:31:06 And to be honest, I'm not too happy
00:31:10 But you know that this is going to pass.
00:31:13 Let's go somewhere
00:31:16 Aaron, we don't have the money back here...
00:31:19 and we'd have to steal our own passports.
00:31:20 Money? We'll make money.
00:31:23 They have sports betting in Vegas.
00:31:25 We'll make enough in one night
00:31:28 Passports. You know
00:31:32 Now, come on. I'm thinking Star City.
00:31:34 Check out the cosmonaut training grounds.
00:31:37 I'm staying here.
00:31:39 Why?
00:31:50 They'll be building their own boxes
00:31:53 And yours already knows what they've built.
00:31:55 You're not going to be able
00:32:00 The box Abe is building won't work.
00:32:02 He's got it wired wrong.
00:32:05 And if they fix that...
00:32:06 I'll start actually taking pieces out of it.
00:32:09 It doesn't work anymore.
00:32:11 Your double will say
00:32:14 And mine will agree. They're friends.
00:32:16 You're staying? Why?
00:32:18 Why? Let's see, why would Abe stay?
00:32:20 What possible reason could there be
00:32:25 I guess that
00:32:30 Tell you what, why don't you take Kara
00:32:34 and then you and Aaron can each keep a set
00:32:38 - Don't come back.
00:32:41 There hasn't been a reason
00:32:44 but I'm telling this you now. Go out there.
00:32:47 Do whatever the hell you want.
00:32:50 But don't come back here...
00:32:52 and don't come near them.
00:32:55 Any of them.
00:33:12 Now I have repaid any debt
00:33:15 You know all that I know.
00:33:17 My voice is the only proof
00:33:21 I might have written a letter
00:33:24 but my handwriting
00:33:29 Maybe you've had the presence of mind
00:33:32 That's your prerogative.
00:33:33 You will not be contacted by me again.
00:33:35 Good morning.
00:33:39 Every half-meter.
00:33:42 Everywhere.
00:33:46 And if you look, you will not find me.
