I found a subtitle rip that could come in handy for those parts of the movie that are hard to hear or understand. It seems to be accurate. I haven't changed anything at all. It's fun to read through to try to catch things that you missed while watching the film. New thoughts and ideas begin to emerge when you read these without the film context. Enjoy.

1
00:00:32,899 --> 00:00:36,391
Here's what's going to happen.
I'm going to read this...

2
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:39,797
and you're going to listen,
and you're going to stay on the line.

3
00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:43,501
You're not going to interrupt.
You're not going to speak for any reason.

4
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:47,376
Now, some of this you know.
I'm going to start at the top of the page.

5
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:54,316
Meticulous, yes. Methodical. Educated.

6
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:56,389
They were these things.

7
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:59,014
Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied.

8
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:03,289
There were days of mistakes
and laziness and infighting.

9
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:07,665
And there were days, good days,
when by anyone's judgment...

10
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,367
they would have to be considered clever.

11
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:13,768
No one would say
that what they were doing was complicated.

12
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:18,443
It wouldn't even be considered new.
Except maybe in the geological sense.

13
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:21,508
They took from their surroundings
what was needed...

14
00:01:21,614 --> 00:01:23,275
and made of it something more.

15
00:01:23,383 --> 00:01:27,012
- We haven't even set up an appointment.
- What order date did you put on this?

16
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,283
- The 28th. Why?
- I don't know... Yeah, I'm putting 28th.

17
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:34,656
Have you thought any more
about what you want to put forward?

18
00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:38,762
- Not really.
- Because I was...

19
00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:41,561
I mean I haven't changed my mind
or anything.

20
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:45,604
Phillip and I were talking,
and we think it could be good. It'd be fun.

21
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:50,204
Nobody's saying it wouldn't be fun.

22
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:54,371
The time for jacking around with tesla coils
and ball lightning in the garage is over.

23
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:57,075
Maybe you should try it on your own
in your free time.

24
00:01:57,183 --> 00:02:00,243
My free time? The free time
after the 50 hours a week at work...

25
00:02:00,353 --> 00:02:04,346
or after the 30 hours of free time
I already spend in that garage?

26
00:02:04,757 --> 00:02:06,748
And it's not a tesla coil.

27
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:09,420
I could save a few minutes a day
by eating on the toilet.

28
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:12,225
How many patents do we have?
In the last 14 months?

29
00:02:12,332 --> 00:02:15,233
- Did you sign the agreement?
- Nobody signed the agreement.

30
00:02:15,335 --> 00:02:17,462
Doesn't matter,
we're sticking to the agreement.

31
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:20,698
Name one thing out of that garage
that's remotely profitable.

32
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:24,140
I don't see anybody quitting their jobs
because of it. Are you?

33
00:02:24,244 --> 00:02:26,906
Abe just means that right now
the JTAG cards are it.

34
00:02:27,013 --> 00:02:31,313
When you look at the addresses, we have
a lot of apartments. A lot of residences.

35
00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:34,443
But these are not the bulk orders
to the OEMs or retail giants.

36
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:36,749
- These are the quiet basement...
- Hackers.

37
00:02:36,856 --> 00:02:40,292
Yeah, hacker wannabes
testing their dads' old motherboards.

38
00:02:41,528 --> 00:02:45,464
And I know that a lot of that is my fault,
admittedly, you know.

39
00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:49,964
With everything last year, and the doubletalk
we were getting from Platts...

40
00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:53,732
- and all the stuff we won't get into now...
- We should get into it.

41
00:02:54,607 --> 00:02:56,097
I'm sorry. What?

42
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,641
Go ahead. Tell him.

43
00:03:01,047 --> 00:03:03,572
We should get into it.
I talked to my brother today.

44
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:06,243
He knows of two other cases like that
at his firm.

45
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:09,549
- Let Platts know that we're talking about it.
- Look, forget Platts.

46
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:13,148
This has got to be about what
has the best chance of going to market...

47
00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:15,489
and what is going to get us VC attention.

48
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:18,962
Look, I stuck by you guys
when it was your turn.

49
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:21,863
And I wasn't 100% sure
of what we were doing...

50
00:03:21,968 --> 00:03:24,266
or even if I didn't agree, maybe.

51
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:27,632
But if it's my turn...

52
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:31,605
if we're still playing by the rules,
then this is what I want to try.

53
00:03:34,814 --> 00:03:37,146
Here, take it.
They said it wouldn't hold a freeze.

54
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:39,377
Robert, please. It's not going to hold.

55
00:03:39,485 --> 00:03:42,750
- It's going to go bad in my car.
- It'll go bad here. Okay, thanks.

56
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,550
- Good night, all.
- See you.

57
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:50,890
- We just got done giving this huge speech...
- We gave the speech?

58
00:03:50,997 --> 00:03:53,022
We just got done. It was five minutes ago.

59
00:03:53,132 --> 00:03:57,899
I'm the one that forced the issue. They're
onto us because I suck as the bad cop.

60
00:03:58,004 --> 00:04:01,371
- You should do it. You could fake it better.
- I don't know about that.

61
00:04:01,474 --> 00:04:04,841
As long as we're going down this road
where it's eighth grade physics...

62
00:04:04,944 --> 00:04:08,402
and happy fun time out in that garage,
I think we could stand to try this.

63
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:11,540
Phillip and Robert are gung ho on theirs,
and that's fine.

64
00:04:11,651 --> 00:04:13,949
But you know I have no interest in that.

65
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:16,385
I know you have no interest,
besides the fact...

66
00:04:16,489 --> 00:04:20,323
that Phillip and Robert don't even need us.
They just want to use the equipment.

67
00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:22,758
For what I want to do? We don't need them.

68
00:04:22,862 --> 00:04:25,660
Not even Phillip,
because it doesn't need software.

69
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,232
- Is she asleep?
- No, and she needs a bath.

70
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:33,003
- She'll wind up in the closet if I do it.
- That's fine.

71
00:04:33,906 --> 00:04:36,739
You know, even if Robert's okay with it,
and he won't be.

72
00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:41,246
- I don't understand what that thing will do.
- We'll let them go at it for two months.

73
00:04:41,347 --> 00:04:44,043
- They do theirs, we do ours.
- They said it'd take 14 hours.

74
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:46,243
Don't eat that. Seriously, it's bad.

75
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:48,820
We threw the first couple of batches out.
The filter.

76
00:04:48,921 --> 00:04:50,616
What about crushed?

77
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:53,549
These guys are funded.

78
00:04:53,826 --> 00:04:56,989
- These guys are... What?
- Liquid helium. These guys are funded.

79
00:04:57,096 --> 00:04:58,723
That's what this is.

80
00:04:58,831 --> 00:05:01,163
That's the whole difference.
That's what the box is.

81
00:05:01,267 --> 00:05:04,395
We don't have to play the game
where we're going back and forth...

82
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:08,440
coming up with innovative ways to make it
colder and unusable in the process.

83
00:05:08,541 --> 00:05:11,704
- Aaron, I need the hexagonal set.
- This is unmarketable.

84
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:14,507
By coming at it from the back end,
rather than changing...

85
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:17,777
the surrounding temperature,
we'll change the level it'll conduct...

86
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:20,717
the transition temperature.
And by bombarding these edges...

87
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:24,017
They're dropping the ceramic,
the temperature lower and lower.

88
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:27,923
It makes the ceramic less resistant
and knocks out the interior magnetic field.

89
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:30,757
What I'm saying is
we drop the box down on it.

90
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:34,664
Focus our own magnetic field to negate,
knock out with the inverse...

91
00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:36,632
what's going on inside the ceramic.

92
00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:40,763
That should change the transition
temperature to something we can work with.

93
00:05:40,873 --> 00:05:44,309
- What are we saying that is?
- Hopefully, near room temperature.

94
00:05:45,578 --> 00:05:48,274
What is that about?
The best mathematician is a lazy one?

95
00:05:48,381 --> 00:05:51,111
- What did you ask for?
- I asked. I need the hexagonal set.

96
00:05:51,217 --> 00:05:52,878
- What did you call it?
- Just come on.

97
00:05:52,985 --> 00:05:54,748
- Are these Type One?
- The superconductors?

98
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:56,515
Yeah, they're Type One.

99
00:05:56,622 --> 00:05:58,249
Is that going to be a problem?

100
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:01,225
There's plenty lying around at work,
but they're all bar coded.

101
00:06:01,327 --> 00:06:04,922
- Lf I have to, I'll buy the kits.
- What are you doing about the source?

102
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:06,362
What?

103
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:10,001
- I can get them.
- You can... Are you sure?

104
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:11,900
I thought you didn't like this idea.

105
00:06:12,004 --> 00:06:14,973
Buy them if you have to.
Everything else we can take care of.

106
00:06:15,074 --> 00:06:16,439
What about the source here?

107
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:19,067
You know that story
about how NASA spent millions...

108
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:22,978
developing this pen that writes in zero-G?
Did you ever read that?

109
00:06:23,082 --> 00:06:26,518
- And how Russia solved the problem?
- Yeah, they used a pencil.

110
00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:28,719
Right, a normal wooden pencil.

111
00:06:29,589 --> 00:06:32,717
It just seems like Phillip takes
the NASA route almost every time.

112
00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:35,487
- Palladium?
- You've got their diagram, what does it say?

113
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:37,529
They use a ratio of platinum and palladium.

114
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:39,598
That's not necessary
with the changes I made.

115
00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:41,963
They're just showing off.
If you have it, use it.

116
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:43,535
I want to get a replacement router.

117
00:06:43,636 --> 00:06:46,730
- I'm putting down four ounces of palladium.
- Did Robert look at it?

118
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,602
- I already got his.
- I can't fix it.

119
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:52,371
- Okay. Where are you getting it?
- Wal-Mart. It's $50.

120
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:55,374
- Okay. Can you get a receipt, please?
- Yeah.

121
00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:57,711
Wait, platinum or palladium
is less resistant?

122
00:06:57,817 --> 00:06:59,876
- Abe? It's not a...
- Yeah, I don't care.

123
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:02,477
- So resistance doesn't matter.
- I need an aye or a yes.

124
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,613
- Did you jiggle the...
- The collet nut?

125
00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:07,454
- Robert did it.
- Well, yes. I guess.

126
00:07:07,994 --> 00:07:11,395
- Well, then, which is cheaper?
- You're not going to buy it, are you?

127
00:07:11,497 --> 00:07:14,864
Well, unless you've got
a few grams of palladium lying around.

128
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:18,131
Why would they put it in there
if you didn't need it?

129
00:07:18,237 --> 00:07:20,296
One catalytic converter. It's fine.

130
00:07:20,406 --> 00:07:23,068
Remember to put it back.
Your emission just went up 300%.

131
00:07:23,176 --> 00:07:25,076
- Is there enough in here?
- Yeah, should be.

132
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:29,046
If not, we'll pull the one out of my truck.
Okay, copper tubing.

133
00:07:36,556 --> 00:07:39,821
- This will be out of commission, right?
- Without the tubing?

134
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,991
- We can use the Freon, too.
- No, it's going to be room temperature.

135
00:07:44,096 --> 00:07:45,154
I know, just in case.

136
00:07:45,264 --> 00:07:49,291
No, wait. Stop. I'll just buy the tubing.
This isn't saving us money.

137
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:58,268
- Jay? Hey, man. How are you?
- Good.

138
00:08:19,932 --> 00:08:22,093
Should we be wearing goggles?

139
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:26,665
- Should we be wearing goggles?
- What?

140
00:08:26,772 --> 00:08:29,036
Goggles. Should we be wearing goggles?

141
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,783
Wait. Phillip, you don't want
to come out here.

142
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:41,080
Phillip, grab a mask, okay?

143
00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:24,396
It is, though, right? It's not just me?

144
00:09:24,497 --> 00:09:29,127
No, it's definitely smaller, but it just seems
that way. Take what they have.

145
00:09:29,835 --> 00:09:32,269
Minus the coolant which we don't need.

146
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:34,865
The rest of it is the mercury bath...

147
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:39,240
which you would know better than I do,
but they're probably just showing off.

148
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:44,144
I mean, you have it, you got to use it, right?

149
00:09:45,051 --> 00:09:47,451
- What? Does it hurt?
- No, I didn't feel anything.

150
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:49,851
That sound is just weirding me out.

151
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:57,553
- What does it feel like?
- I don't know.

152
00:09:57,663 --> 00:09:59,824
I don't know if I'm making it up.

153
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:02,295
Here.

154
00:10:16,649 --> 00:10:19,447
- Next part. Let's do the next part.
- Yeah.

155
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:30,793
Isn't there some sort of glass
or a transparent...

156
00:10:30,896 --> 00:10:33,456
Anything we can use as a window? Pyrex?

157
00:10:33,566 --> 00:10:35,193
- Yeah, I'm in.
- Okay, drop it.

158
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:38,361
I don't know of anything
that won't leave a gap in the field.

159
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,462
But we got to see what's going on in there.

160
00:10:40,573 --> 00:10:43,235
- How much did that cost?
- Yeah.

161
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:46,872
- What?
- You want to put my camcorder...

162
00:10:46,979 --> 00:10:50,506
inside the box that's so dangerous
we can't look into it.

163
00:10:53,986 --> 00:10:56,819
If something happens,
would you pay me back?

164
00:10:58,224 --> 00:11:01,716
So we have a slightly negative pressure
in the box.

165
00:11:01,994 --> 00:11:03,859
So we're ready for the argon.

166
00:11:04,597 --> 00:11:08,158
- Which one is that?
- It's the blue one.

167
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:12,035
I weighed it at 77 grams.

168
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:14,401
I set the scale to decagrams, though.

169
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:18,398
I'm showing 7.7 decagrams.

170
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,275
Ready for...

171
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:26,183
0.05 liters of argon.

172
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:37,262
- You ready?
- Just the plate first, right?

173
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:40,264
Right, first just the plate, and then we'll...

174
00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:47,602
Let's just give it a second.

175
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:08,051
- You want to do the box now?
- Yeah.

176
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:10,889
Let's go through the checklist.
Aaron, hold on a second.

177
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:14,693
Let's make sure everything's set up right.
Hold on, Aaron. Wait.

178
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:17,902
Just wait.

179
00:12:29,181 --> 00:12:30,512
Okay.

180
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:41,391
Anything?

181
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:44,790
- Is this normal?
- I don't know.

182
00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:48,124
- I'm turning it off.
- Wait! No.

183
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:54,971
- Okay, I didn't do that.
- Did we blow something?

184
00:12:56,942 --> 00:13:00,070
Yeah, we did. That's destroyed.

185
00:13:00,746 --> 00:13:03,408
- You want to check your camera?
- Yeah.

186
00:13:03,849 --> 00:13:05,783
- Let's get this.
- You ready?

187
00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:08,215
One, two, three.

188
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:24,994
Hey. Tell me you're hungry.
Kara's at her mom's and I'm starving.

189
00:13:25,437 --> 00:13:27,530
Yeah, I'm hungry. What...

190
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,804
Abe, it's 7:00. Abe, it's 7:00 at night.

191
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:34,309
- Okay, yeah, I have food...
- Okay.

192
00:13:34,413 --> 00:13:37,780
- Wait, are those kids there?
- Just a sec.

193
00:13:38,851 --> 00:13:40,250
Yeah, they're here.

194
00:13:40,352 --> 00:13:44,118
Okay, screw that, let's just go somewhere.
I just pulled in, so come on down.

195
00:13:44,223 --> 00:13:47,283
Come up first. I have some stuff
I want to take back to the shop.

196
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:49,520
All right, but meet me at the door.

197
00:13:49,628 --> 00:13:52,791
- Okay, all right.
- Seriously, meet me at the door.

198
00:13:52,932 --> 00:13:54,832
Okay. All right. See you.

199
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:11,314
- What's up, Abe?
- Hey, Brad. How are you?

200
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:12,642
Good.

201
00:14:22,928 --> 00:14:25,692
- How long did he say he would be there?
- Not long.

202
00:14:25,798 --> 00:14:28,824
If he's got problems, he's got to fix them.
You're not his dad.

203
00:14:28,934 --> 00:14:32,563
I know. I just thought it would be good
to do something charitable.

204
00:14:32,671 --> 00:14:35,469
It definitely is charity.
At least you admit that.

205
00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:41,508
You feel like a steak? To eat.

206
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:45,884
I don't want a steak. Let's just
grab some tacos on the way to the shop.

207
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:47,919
- I have some stuff I want to try out.
- Okay.

208
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:52,013
We can get some tacos on the way,
or we can get a steak afterwards.

209
00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:55,389
What are you talking about?
I'm not paying for a steak.

210
00:15:00,199 --> 00:15:01,723
It's stable?

211
00:15:03,502 --> 00:15:05,402
Aaron, it's stable?

212
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:16,041
- What did you do to this thing?
- What?

213
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:20,010
- It looks like a dog digested it.
- Okay, that's the plate.

214
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:23,551
I rigged this into the box
so I could control the feed.

215
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:26,750
- I figured it's the easiest way...
- It's just controlling the box.

216
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:30,693
The plate stays the same.
What you do is you gradually feed it.

217
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:37,396
Okay. You hear that? How it's...

218
00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:40,836
See, I'm not touching it anymore.
It's growing with its own momentum.

219
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,500
It's like a feedback loop,
and it just regulates itself.

220
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:47,375
And what you do is when it gets there,
you bring it back...

221
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:51,805
and there you go, it coasts.
It's stable. It stays like that.

222
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:56,019
So it works?

223
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:59,247
- Yeah, it does.
- What is that, like 10%?

224
00:15:59,558 --> 00:16:02,721
It knocks another couple of points
by the time it reaches the peak.

225
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:05,854
You may want to come over here
and take a look at this.

226
00:16:06,031 --> 00:16:07,623
Okay, what am I looking at?

227
00:16:07,733 --> 00:16:11,032
- What are we pulling out of the batteries?
- Probably 24 volts.

228
00:16:11,136 --> 00:16:13,502
- I mean, no more than that, right?
- Okay.

229
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:15,300
So your meter's jacked up.

230
00:16:15,774 --> 00:16:19,574
That's what I figured. So I tried three others.
I got the exact same thing.

231
00:16:19,678 --> 00:16:21,509
- I spent all last night...
- What was it?

232
00:16:21,613 --> 00:16:25,344
I spent last night and a two-hour break
just double-checking everything.

233
00:16:25,451 --> 00:16:29,444
There's something wrong here. We're not
pulling out more than we're putting in.

234
00:16:29,555 --> 00:16:31,785
- Slightly more.
- Well, yeah, whatever.

235
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:34,791
It's not like a volt and a half
more than we're putting in.

236
00:16:34,893 --> 00:16:38,852
It's probably the batteries.
They're cheap batteries, not regulated right.

237
00:16:39,098 --> 00:16:40,656
That is weird, though.

238
00:16:43,969 --> 00:16:46,062
You want to see something weirder?

239
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:50,240
Okay, let's go over this again.
Two batteries, right? 24 volts?

240
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:54,204
What are we pulling out of this one?
Just for fun.

241
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:58,405
Twelve volts.

242
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:11,921
- How about this one?
- Should be 12 volts.

243
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,697
So, what the hell is this thing?

244
00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:25,877
It doesn't stay like that.

245
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:29,545
No, it winds down in a few minutes.
What does that?

246
00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:38,546
I don't know. I'll tell them something.
I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs.

247
00:17:38,657 --> 00:17:41,023
It should just be a day or two, anyways.

248
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:45,420
- Unless you want to bring them in.
- No, they have their work in there, too.

249
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:48,694
If Phillip finds out about that
he's going to have to take it apart.

250
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:53,204
- No. I'm just putting a little tweak on it.
- Yeah, I know. No, you're right.

251
00:17:53,806 --> 00:17:57,242
Abe, it's my garage, okay?
It's not like they're paying rent.

252
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:01,839
There was value in the thing.
Clearly. Of that they were certain of.

253
00:18:01,947 --> 00:18:04,279
But what is the application?
In a matter of hours...

254
00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:07,875
they had pinned it to everything
from mass transit to satellite launching.

255
00:18:07,986 --> 00:18:10,181
Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets.

256
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:13,349
Everything would be cheaper.
It was practical and they knew it.

257
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:15,518
But above all that, beyond the positives...

258
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:17,788
they knew that the easiest way
to be exploited...

259
00:18:17,896 --> 00:18:20,160
is to sell something
they did not yet understand.

260
00:18:20,265 --> 00:18:23,723
So they kept quiet.
The parties would continue.

261
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:26,396
Any birthday, anniversary, holiday...

262
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:30,441
maybe some obscure project launch.
It didn't matter. Any reason would do.

263
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:35,012
What was important is that Thomas Granger,
their last best hope of funding, show up.

264
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:39,483
If he left a little earlier than
they would've liked, he couldn't be blamed.

265
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:42,611
He was only there
to please his daughter Rachel.

266
00:18:42,721 --> 00:18:45,281
And she was only there to please Abe.

267
00:18:47,726 --> 00:18:49,785
What did you say
to Mr. Granger a while ago?

268
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:52,659
- Did you flip my burger?
- You can't call him Mr. Granger.

269
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:54,925
You have to call him, like,
Thomas or something.

270
00:18:55,033 --> 00:18:57,934
- Go ahead.
- No, because he won't take you seriously.

271
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,732
- He thinks we're kids.
- Lf you call him Mr. Granger...

272
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,573
he looks at you like you're a 6-year-old kid.
He does it with me. It won't work anymore.

273
00:19:06,845 --> 00:19:10,474
Abe had taken on the task
of quantifying and explaining the device.

274
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:13,315
But as weeks became months...

275
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:17,718
their enthusiasm became a slow realization
that they were out of their depth.

276
00:20:00,566 --> 00:20:02,864
There he is.
I've been calling you all morning.

277
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:05,994
- Where'd you call?
- Your work and your cell.

278
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,239
I'm not there.

279
00:20:09,408 --> 00:20:10,602
Really?

280
00:20:12,578 --> 00:20:15,547
- March Madness?
- It's Carolina and Michigan.

281
00:20:15,647 --> 00:20:17,774
- Who's up?
- I don't even know what.

282
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:21,411
Do you have anything important
at work today?

283
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,456
I hope you're not implying
that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi.

284
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:30,259
I was going to come give you
this big speech about how we've been...

285
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:33,331
friends for a long time and built up trust,
that whole thing.

286
00:20:33,432 --> 00:20:35,059
But how about this instead?

287
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:39,365
If you ditch work this afternoon and promise
to do the few small things I ask you...

288
00:20:39,471 --> 00:20:42,201
I will in return show you
the most important thing...

289
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:44,969
that any living organism has ever witnessed.

290
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:49,469
Well, it looks like mustard to me.

291
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:51,913
I know, but it's a film. It's a protein...

292
00:20:52,017 --> 00:20:54,918
secreted by a fungus
called Aspergillus Ticor.

293
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:56,044
He told you that?

294
00:20:56,154 --> 00:20:59,123
No, he knew it was a protein
but didn't know where it came from.

295
00:20:59,224 --> 00:21:02,387
All he really did was just take some pictures
with their equipment.

296
00:21:02,494 --> 00:21:03,825
Guess where we're going.

297
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:06,295
- Do you know where Will is?
- No, why?

298
00:21:06,398 --> 00:21:08,730
The Ariel meeting
is pushed back till Wednesday.

299
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:11,598
I thought he was waiting around for it.
Where are you going?

300
00:21:11,703 --> 00:21:13,933
What do they do with engineers
when they turn 40?

301
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,439
- What, Bradshaw?
- Exactly. You know what?

302
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:19,442
I do know where Will is.
I'll let him know on my way out.

303
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:21,774
- Okay. Thanks.
- Can you meet me out front?

304
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,974
- You got to drive.
- Okay, here. Take my keys.

305
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:29,281
Okay, if you can, just pretend
that this is the first time I came in.

306
00:21:29,421 --> 00:21:32,913
And if you would just
tell him exactly what you told me...

307
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:37,126
- Okay, so what is it?
- Protein build up.

308
00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:40,858
- Okay, can you just tell him?
- Protein build up.

309
00:21:41,366 --> 00:21:44,130
- But what kind?
- Some fungus.

310
00:21:44,403 --> 00:21:47,167
- Some fungus.
- Where did it come from?

311
00:21:47,339 --> 00:21:51,207
- I don't know. You were to take it to the lab.
- Yeah, that's next.

312
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,074
- You were in design, weren't you?
- Yeah.

313
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:56,004
How did you get over here?

314
00:21:56,114 --> 00:21:59,311
Do you know what they do
with engineers when they turn 40?

315
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:01,245
They take them out and shoot them.

316
00:22:01,353 --> 00:22:04,322
What the hell, Abe?
You could have just shown me the pictures.

317
00:22:04,423 --> 00:22:08,086
- I want you to believe it.
- Believe what, the protein?

318
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,988
- I believe you.
- Okay, look...

319
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:13,531
this guy already thinks it's a joke,
so he may be a little defensive.

320
00:22:13,632 --> 00:22:15,964
Really? Why would he think that?

321
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,113
Please.

322
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:33,949
Aspergillus Ticor.

323
00:22:34,553 --> 00:22:36,680
This is a fungus that's everywhere.

324
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:41,622
It's in our bed, our skin,
sometimes even our GI tract. Everywhere.

325
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:47,030
It's basically the reason you don't leave
things in dark, damp, closed-off places.

326
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:49,963
Thank you.
Do you have that sample I brought?

327
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,232
There it is. Terger. T-E-R-G-E-R.

328
00:22:59,444 --> 00:23:02,538
Okay, when I showed you this,
tell him what you thought.

329
00:23:05,183 --> 00:23:08,414
- You thought it was a joke, right?
- It is a joke.

330
00:23:09,321 --> 00:23:11,346
Right, but how did you know?

331
00:23:14,459 --> 00:23:16,791
Will you show him? Please?

332
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:29,340
This is how I get protein A
out of Aspergillus Ticor. We sweeten it.

333
00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:32,274
We agitate it. We spin it around.
We sweeten some more.

334
00:23:32,377 --> 00:23:35,608
- Takes about a month.
- To get the same amount I brought in.

335
00:23:36,648 --> 00:23:38,240
To get the same amount I brought in.

336
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:40,750
So if it's an incubator for fungus,
is that valuable?

337
00:23:40,852 --> 00:23:42,649
- That's not what it is.
- Then what is it?

338
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:46,121
There's another way to secrete
that much protein. Do it naturally.

339
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:48,454
But that takes a lot longer.

340
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:53,530
If it has a little moisture and it's left alone,
it'll start secreting and it'll build up...

341
00:23:53,632 --> 00:23:56,032
- and build up, but it takes a long time.
- How long?

342
00:23:56,134 --> 00:23:59,001
- A long time.
- More than a few days? Then how long?

343
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:01,368
To get the same amount of protein
that we have...

344
00:24:01,473 --> 00:24:03,771
the amount that I was wiping off
every five days...

345
00:24:03,875 --> 00:24:06,070
and five days later it would accumulate...

346
00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:08,840
he says it would take about five to six years.

347
00:24:11,716 --> 00:24:13,240
I don't want to belittle this guy.

348
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:16,047
So, I said screw it
and I put my watch in there.

349
00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:18,715
- And?
- I want you to do it.

350
00:24:19,424 --> 00:24:22,257
- Where is it? The box?
- I took it back to the shop.

351
00:24:24,329 --> 00:24:27,856
- Wait, digital or old mechanical?
- Exactly. I did both.

352
00:24:29,201 --> 00:24:31,601
- And what?
- I want you to do it.

353
00:24:34,272 --> 00:24:36,536
We thought
that we were degrading gravity, right?

354
00:24:36,641 --> 00:24:38,632
That we were blocking that information.

355
00:24:38,743 --> 00:24:42,372
I think we're doing more than that.
I think we're blocking more than that.

356
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:46,611
When you were controlling the feed,
did you notice it was parabolic?

357
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:50,150
It's important. Parabolas are important.
Here, look at this.

358
00:24:51,223 --> 00:24:52,656
I don't know, Abe.

359
00:24:52,757 --> 00:24:55,385
I'm going to start it up
and let it run for 60 seconds...

360
00:24:55,494 --> 00:24:57,758
with nothing in it. It's empty this time.

361
00:24:57,863 --> 00:24:58,852
That's 22...

362
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:01,694
In all the equations that describe motion
and heat and entropy.

363
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,327
In all Feynman diagrams what's the
one variable that you can turn negative...

364
00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:07,905
and still get rational answers for?
It's not mass.

365
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:10,804
Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box.

366
00:25:10,909 --> 00:25:14,208
- It's an odd number.
- That's 1,347 minutes.

367
00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:19,441
- 1,347, man, you got that fast.
- How did you know it's odd?

368
00:25:19,551 --> 00:25:23,612
Because this is it. This is what's going on.
There's an "A" end and a "B" end.

369
00:25:23,722 --> 00:25:26,691
Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the B end is 12:01.

370
00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:29,692
All right? We start the machine
with the Weeble at the A end.

371
00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:32,228
- It travels forward...
- You got to write this down.

372
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:34,764
- There's nothing to write down.
- I'll write it down.

373
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:36,925
It travels forward normally
towards the B end.

374
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:39,469
When it gets there,
the feed runs down parabolically...

375
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:42,699
until it should stop, but it curves
back around towards the A end.

376
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:45,970
When it gets back to the A end...
Curve that around. The Weeble...

377
00:25:46,077 --> 00:25:49,410
has experienced a total of two minutes,
and again it curves...

378
00:25:49,514 --> 00:25:51,641
- Back around. It curves parabolically.
- Right.

379
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:54,378
It comes back around
and it does this about 1,300 times.

380
00:25:54,486 --> 00:25:56,215
When it finally exits on the B end...

381
00:25:56,321 --> 00:25:59,154
it's travelled an odd number
of forward and backward trips.

382
00:25:59,257 --> 00:26:02,693
What is so special about 1,300?
Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact?

383
00:26:02,794 --> 00:26:04,853
- This is not empirical.
- Here, give me that.

384
00:26:04,963 --> 00:26:08,763
I don't know why it's not exact.
There's some sort of probability there.

385
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:11,392
Every time it hits the B end
there's a chance...

386
00:26:11,503 --> 00:26:14,404
a small chance it won't
curve back around towards the A end.

387
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:18,203
And for some reason, it takes
about 1,300 trips before it finally does.

388
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:21,609
It does have to exit, or else
we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards.

389
00:26:21,713 --> 00:26:23,704
Okay, let's take a look at this.

390
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:26,680
Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes.

391
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:33,885
- 1,334 minutes.
- Even.

392
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:37,990
Enter at the B end.

393
00:26:39,965 --> 00:26:41,694
Exit at the B end.

394
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:48,104
- I just want you to see it the way I saw it.
- I am trying, okay?

395
00:26:48,206 --> 00:26:50,674
Everything we're putting in that box
comes ungrounded.

396
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:53,539
And I don't mean grounded to the earth,
I mean not tethered.

397
00:26:53,645 --> 00:26:56,808
We're blocking whatever keeps it
moving forward, so they flip-flop.

398
00:26:56,915 --> 00:27:00,043
Inside the box, it's like a street,
and both ends are cul-de-sacs.

399
00:27:00,151 --> 00:27:04,144
This isn't frame dragging or wormhole
matching. It's basic mechanics and heat.

400
00:27:04,255 --> 00:27:06,348
This is not mechanics and heat.

401
00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:14,223
- We can publish.
- Yeah, we can publish.

402
00:27:14,332 --> 00:27:16,823
No, I mean we can really publish.

403
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:20,002
Aaron, the Weeble's stupid. It can't move.

404
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:22,699
Even if we were
to put the Weeble in at point B...

405
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:27,506
it's still going to bounce back and forth
until it's kicked out at the B end.

406
00:27:31,116 --> 00:27:32,674
But if it were smart...

407
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:38,717
it could enter at the B end
and exit at the A end before it flips back.

408
00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:46,857
You're talking about making a bigger one.

409
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:51,499
I didn't say anything.
You're the one talking about it.

410
00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:54,529
So, you believe me?

411
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:57,870
No, I don't.

412
00:27:58,043 --> 00:28:00,409
Come on. Let's go get a drink or something.

413
00:28:05,483 --> 00:28:07,917
- We're going to have to move it.
- We will.

414
00:28:11,322 --> 00:28:13,790
We need a box big enough for a person
to fit into. As far as turning it on...

415
00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:17,056
I was testing the box. It turns out
over half the rings are redundant.

416
00:28:17,162 --> 00:28:20,620
The inner ring is strong enough on its own,
so it makes the plate smaller.

417
00:28:20,732 --> 00:28:22,825
A lot more is unnecessary.
What we can do...

418
00:28:22,934 --> 00:28:27,234
is take a lot of these small plates and
surround a container with a web of them.

419
00:28:28,506 --> 00:28:29,768
How small?

420
00:28:30,008 --> 00:28:34,069
It should be accumulative so a lot of
mini-fields equal one big one, right?

421
00:28:34,779 --> 00:28:36,747
Yeah, sum of series, that makes sense.

422
00:28:36,848 --> 00:28:40,284
What I was going to say is we need
to find a place where we can put it...

423
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:42,250
and turn it on and it won't be disturbed.

424
00:28:42,353 --> 00:28:44,446
We could just lock it in a closet.

425
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:48,587
Someplace where someone's not going to
go poking around and messing with it.

426
00:28:48,693 --> 00:28:50,354
And climate-controlled.

427
00:28:50,995 --> 00:28:53,395
Yeah, so whatever, we'll find some place.

428
00:28:53,765 --> 00:28:56,700
So, if we go your route with what?
A bunch of mini-fields?

429
00:28:56,801 --> 00:29:00,532
That's a lot of work. We'd have to...
I mean, how many days is that?

430
00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:05,170
Abe, you know what we could use?

431
00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:09,613
I know we've seen
a lot of crazy things lately, okay?

432
00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:13,650
I know you're still trying to put
it all together in a way that makes sense.

433
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:17,347
Look, I just want you to understand
that what's next is not a prank, okay?

434
00:29:17,455 --> 00:29:20,219
I wouldn't do that to you
and I'm not doing that to you.

435
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:24,728
So when you see this, you can't yell
or make any noise or run anywhere.

436
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:29,322
I know you probably feel like you're
being tricked or made fun of. But you're not.

437
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:32,301
I promise you, you're not. Okay?

438
00:29:58,696 --> 00:30:00,061
Who was that, Abe?

439
00:30:24,923 --> 00:30:27,153
Let's just wait. Six minutes.

440
00:31:28,019 --> 00:31:30,180
Look, you sure you're okay to drive?

441
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:36,453
What did you do all day?
The first time through?

442
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:42,429
I spent the day in a hotel room
in Russellfield.

443
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:47,500
- I'll just meet you back at the shop.
- I wonder what I did.

444
00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:52,566
- I guess I went back to work.
- Yeah, probably.

445
00:31:52,677 --> 00:31:54,611
Probably just worked, I guess.

446
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:57,678
Yeah, probably so.

447
00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:04,511
Look, now that I know about this, Abe...

448
00:32:05,123 --> 00:32:07,956
don't do this again, okay?
Not where it affects me.

449
00:32:12,597 --> 00:32:14,121
Go ahead.

450
00:32:19,737 --> 00:32:21,170
Hey, Rachel.

451
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,175
Why not the lottery?

452
00:33:05,550 --> 00:33:08,280
We can if you want,
but it's not until Saturday.

453
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:12,914
And even if we win the full $10 million,
that's only $200,000 for the next 30 years.

454
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:16,758
- And that's just one good trade.
- A couple days like this.

455
00:33:16,861 --> 00:33:20,262
- I was just running a test. In and out.
- I want to do what you did.

456
00:33:20,365 --> 00:33:21,764
Exactly what you did.

457
00:33:21,866 --> 00:33:24,767
- The first thing I did is call in sick.
- Okay, I did that.

458
00:33:24,869 --> 00:33:28,737
- Then I drove to the storage facility.
- But I need to drop Lauren at school first.

459
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,434
Then meet me there.
We're going to need both cars.

460
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:34,636
We need to park yours down the road,
out of sight of the facility.

461
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:37,647
- Why are we doing that?
- Because we need a ride home.

462
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:39,307
- What is that...
- It'll make sense.

463
00:33:39,417 --> 00:33:41,612
Okay, I'll be patient.

464
00:33:41,719 --> 00:33:45,211
When I got to the storage room,
I flooded the box with argon...

465
00:33:45,323 --> 00:33:49,054
and I had to tighten it up
to secure the leaks.

466
00:33:49,527 --> 00:33:52,052
- There's leaks?
- There's always leaks.

467
00:33:55,900 --> 00:34:00,496
At 8:30 a. m., I set the timer for 15 minutes...

468
00:34:00,605 --> 00:34:04,006
I jumped in the car,
and drove to Russellfield.

469
00:34:04,208 --> 00:34:05,368
Okay, I lost it.

470
00:34:05,476 --> 00:34:08,138
- What?
- Why the timer?

471
00:34:08,513 --> 00:34:12,381
Because the moment we start those
machines is the moment we'll end up...

472
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:15,213
- getting out of them, and...
- Right. Got it. Sorry.

473
00:34:15,319 --> 00:34:18,015
I don't want to be standing around
when they do.

474
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:23,460
While I was on the road at 8:45,
the machine kicked on by itself...

475
00:34:24,495 --> 00:34:27,623
and by 8:49, it was completely warmed up.

476
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:40,002
In Russellfield, I got a hotel room
and tried to isolate myself.

477
00:34:40,711 --> 00:34:42,474
Wait, what do you mean "isolate"?

478
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:45,276
I closed the windows,
I unplugged everything in the room...

479
00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:47,351
the telephone, TV, clock, radio, everything.

480
00:34:47,452 --> 00:34:50,444
I didn't want to take the chance
of running into someone I knew...

481
00:34:50,555 --> 00:34:52,523
or seeing something on the news
that might...

482
00:34:52,623 --> 00:34:56,525
If we're dealing with causality,
and I don't even know for sure.

483
00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:58,822
- I just...
- What?

484
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:02,393
- Took myself out of the equation.
- Err on the side of caution.

485
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:03,592
Yes.

486
00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:07,230
Then what did you do all day?

487
00:35:10,308 --> 00:35:13,971
- I just sat there. I had some books, but...
- What? Were you nervous?

488
00:35:14,078 --> 00:35:17,206
Yeah.
It's mind-numbing, all the second-guessing.

489
00:35:22,153 --> 00:35:23,586
"Evacipate. "

490
00:35:28,726 --> 00:35:32,253
At 3:30 p. m.,
I stopped by Williams Medical Supply.

491
00:35:32,363 --> 00:35:34,456
Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask.

492
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:38,228
I called my mutual fund company and asked
which stock in their mid-cap fund...

493
00:35:38,336 --> 00:35:40,236
had the greatest percentage gain that day.

494
00:35:40,338 --> 00:35:43,307
The idea was just to get enough information
for one good trade.

495
00:35:43,407 --> 00:35:46,103
Can we just download chart data
and trade on each movement?

496
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:50,647
But if we do that, I want to use the library
in Russellfield, use their computers.

497
00:36:04,695 --> 00:36:08,859
So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15
and cut off the power to the box.

498
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:12,634
It cycled down to a tolerable level
at about 3:19.

499
00:36:12,803 --> 00:36:15,863
The trick is to get in
after it reaches a comfortable level...

500
00:36:15,973 --> 00:36:19,272
but before it shuts off completely.
There's a window there.

501
00:36:19,443 --> 00:36:21,377
So, does it hurt?

502
00:36:22,813 --> 00:36:24,508
Yeah, it does a little.

503
00:36:24,882 --> 00:36:28,511
It's not bad if you wait for the right time.
It's like a small static shock.

504
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:31,179
- Once you're in, you're fine, though.
- What?

505
00:36:31,522 --> 00:36:34,719
I know you've done it,
and I can only assume that you don't have...

506
00:36:34,825 --> 00:36:36,793
cancer or male impotence.

507
00:36:36,894 --> 00:36:39,590
But what is your opinion
on how safe this thing is?

508
00:36:39,697 --> 00:36:42,063
I can imagine no way
in which this thing would be...

509
00:36:42,166 --> 00:36:44,293
considered anywhere remotely close to safe.

510
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:47,894
All I know is I spent six hours in there
and I'm still alive.

511
00:36:50,508 --> 00:36:52,408
You still want to do it?

512
00:37:09,327 --> 00:37:12,091
I set the alarm on my stopwatch
for six hours.

513
00:37:12,196 --> 00:37:16,292
I regulated the O2 tank,
took some Dramamine, and tried to sleep.

514
00:37:16,968 --> 00:37:18,230
Did you?

515
00:37:18,502 --> 00:37:20,402
- What?
- Did you sleep?

516
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:24,841
Not at first. I've never
considered myself claustrophobic...

517
00:37:24,942 --> 00:37:29,072
but I started sweating and I couldn't find
the right flow rate on the tank...

518
00:37:29,547 --> 00:37:33,608
and I was breathing differently than I was
when I was testing it on the outside.

519
00:37:33,718 --> 00:37:36,118
Eventually, I settled down, and...

520
00:37:36,487 --> 00:37:40,446
I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine
kicking in, but I remember this moment...

521
00:37:40,558 --> 00:37:43,356
in the dark
with the reverberation of the machine.

522
00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:46,897
It was maybe the most content
I've ever been.

523
00:37:49,634 --> 00:37:52,000
I woke up on my own without the alarm...

524
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:55,595
and waited for the machine to cool down.
Cool down from my perspective.

525
00:37:55,706 --> 00:37:58,573
It got to a point where it sounded safe
to get out...

526
00:37:58,676 --> 00:38:01,236
but the stopwatch still showed
a couple minutes...

527
00:38:01,345 --> 00:38:03,711
so I trusted the math and waited.

528
00:38:39,884 --> 00:38:43,581
That's not a static shock, Abe.
Okay, please stop it.

529
00:38:49,860 --> 00:38:51,589
You got out too soon.

530
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:57,057
You have to wait for the stopwatch
so that you know the gain is low enough.

531
00:38:57,468 --> 00:38:59,163
So, we're back here?

532
00:38:59,603 --> 00:39:03,164
Yeah, we're here.
It's 8:50, Tuesday morning.

533
00:39:07,278 --> 00:39:09,337
All right. Give me a few minutes.

534
00:39:12,416 --> 00:39:15,943
From there it was easy.
The bulk of the work was done.

535
00:39:16,053 --> 00:39:19,386
I just left everything the way I found it.
I left the machine alone...

536
00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:22,459
and didn't turn it off,
and just cleared out of there.

537
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,997
So your double would find everything
the same later that day and get in the box?

538
00:39:27,098 --> 00:39:31,626
Right, but also, I or my double or someone
was in the box coming backwards.

539
00:39:31,736 --> 00:39:34,967
So who knows what that would've done
if I'd turned the machine off.

540
00:39:35,072 --> 00:39:37,563
Definitely. So, they're one-time use only.

541
00:39:37,675 --> 00:39:42,078
So then, at that moment, since my double
was on the way to the hotel in my car...

542
00:39:42,179 --> 00:39:46,206
I had to take a taxi home. But when we go,
we'll be able to use your truck.

543
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:10,233
- You have a margin account, right?
- Yeah. I do now. What are we buying?

544
00:40:10,341 --> 00:40:14,243
Good. Today, before 12:30, we'll buy
as many shares as we can of RGWU.

545
00:40:16,313 --> 00:40:20,010
They'll say their earnings that quarter
are three and a half times consensus...

546
00:40:20,117 --> 00:40:23,109
and the stock will nearly double
in afternoon trading.

547
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:27,149
- What do they do?
- What do you mean?

548
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:29,555
What does this company do?
Do they make things or...

549
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:32,254
I don't know.
All that matters is the price goes up.

550
00:40:32,363 --> 00:40:37,062
The volume is so high that the number
of shares we trade won't affect the price.

551
00:40:39,804 --> 00:40:41,931
You really don't know what they do?

552
00:40:47,511 --> 00:40:51,311
That's why you spoke about a mid-cap fund,
so volume is high enough to hide us.

553
00:40:51,415 --> 00:40:53,508
- Do you think it's too cautious?
- I don't know.

554
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:55,812
I know there's a lot of other stocks
out there...

555
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,117
that do a lot more than double,
but this is my first day.

556
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,591
- My God.
- She's not going to answer.

557
00:41:38,762 --> 00:41:40,457
I know, Abe. That's the question.

558
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:45,592
I know, so what's the answer?
You've got the $400 billion...

559
00:41:45,703 --> 00:41:49,298
you've gone the charity route,
you have this perfect 100-room mansion...

560
00:41:49,406 --> 00:41:51,772
with matching his and her yachts
and helicopter pads.

561
00:41:51,876 --> 00:41:54,845
Basically, you have absolute impunity
to do whatever you want...

562
00:41:54,945 --> 00:41:55,934
nobody can touch you.

563
00:41:56,046 --> 00:41:58,105
- You're back from a two-year...
- Above the law.

564
00:41:58,215 --> 00:42:03,084
Absolutely, well above. You're fresh back
from this two-year world-galloping vacation.

565
00:42:03,187 --> 00:42:05,246
How do you fill your day? What do you do?

566
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:09,690
Abe, I know that's the question, but it's not
a real question, so why does it matter?

567
00:42:09,793 --> 00:42:11,192
So what's the answer?

568
00:42:11,295 --> 00:42:15,129
Babe, he knows that's the question, okay?
He's asking you the question.

569
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:19,094
What do you mean? What would I do
with my life or what would I do tomorrow?

570
00:42:19,203 --> 00:42:20,465
My God, either.

571
00:42:22,172 --> 00:42:26,165
I'd have to do something constructive.
I'd have to do something that would help...

572
00:42:26,277 --> 00:42:29,940
- something that would make me feel good.
- I know. That's fantastic. Good.

573
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:34,916
- My wife. So good. So pure. You are pure.
- Shut up. Why did you ask, then?

574
00:42:35,152 --> 00:42:39,350
This is what I would do:
I would wake up tomorrow morning...

575
00:42:39,456 --> 00:42:41,890
and I'd go over to Gabriel Capital Inc...

576
00:42:41,992 --> 00:42:45,758
and I would tell Joseph Platts' receptionist
that I'm there to see him...

577
00:42:45,863 --> 00:42:47,558
and when he comes out...

578
00:42:49,066 --> 00:42:51,899
I would ram my fist
through the flat of his nose.

579
00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:56,863
Just one good punch, one good pow.

580
00:42:58,409 --> 00:43:01,606
- That's amazing. It's about time.
- That is so great.

581
00:43:01,712 --> 00:43:04,408
Where did this come from?
You're always defending the guy.

582
00:43:04,515 --> 00:43:07,075
- It's unnatural.
- I'd only do it if I knew that...

583
00:43:07,184 --> 00:43:08,913
no one would find out or get hurt.

584
00:43:09,019 --> 00:43:12,386
Like, I wish that there was a way
that I could do it...

585
00:43:12,489 --> 00:43:14,320
and then I go back and tell myself not to.

586
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:17,519
Because I just want to know
what it feels like. That's all, really.

587
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:18,822
I'm so proud.

588
00:43:19,196 --> 00:43:22,723
Finally, my husband, the hero.

589
00:43:28,973 --> 00:43:32,170
- We can't do that.
- I know.

590
00:43:32,543 --> 00:43:34,238
Did you call pest control?

591
00:43:35,045 --> 00:43:38,879
Babe, they're birds. You don't want a bunch
of dead baby birds up there, do you?

592
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:43,010
- They don't sound like birds.
- She thinks there are rats in the attic.

593
00:43:44,021 --> 00:43:46,012
But the idea had been spoken...

594
00:43:46,123 --> 00:43:49,251
and the words wouldn't go back
after they had been uttered aloud.

595
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,952
So you are understanding this, right?

596
00:43:51,061 --> 00:43:53,586
You don't have to sell me
on not doing this, okay?

597
00:43:53,697 --> 00:43:56,723
- I don't think I told you...
- Even if you do stop yourself...

598
00:43:56,834 --> 00:44:00,395
your double, from hitting Platts,
why would he, your double, get in the box?

599
00:44:00,504 --> 00:44:03,962
And with no need for it,
no possible real-world application...

600
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:07,732
no advantage at all to be gained from it,
the idea stayed.

601
00:44:08,379 --> 00:44:11,837
- How would you do it?
- I wouldn't.

602
00:44:12,282 --> 00:44:14,773
- Just for fun.
- I still wouldn't.

603
00:44:14,885 --> 00:44:17,718
- But what if there was a way to...
- Look, Abe, look.

604
00:44:18,188 --> 00:44:21,316
I'm not going to pretend
like I know anything about paradoxes...

605
00:44:21,425 --> 00:44:24,826
or what follows them, and honestly,
I really don't believe in that crap.

606
00:44:24,928 --> 00:44:28,728
Kill your mom before you were born,
whatever. It has to work itself out somehow.

607
00:44:28,832 --> 00:44:30,959
- I don't know.
- This is what I know for sure.

608
00:44:31,068 --> 00:44:35,129
The worst thing in the world is to know
that the moment you are experiencing...

609
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,037
has already been defined,
that this is the second...

610
00:44:38,142 --> 00:44:42,044
or third time through, or whatever.
And do you ever feel like...

611
00:44:43,113 --> 00:44:46,879
I don't know, maybe things aren't right,
like maybe your life is in disarray...

612
00:44:46,984 --> 00:44:51,148
or just not what you would like
and you start to wonder what caused this.

613
00:44:52,356 --> 00:44:54,483
People are always blaming their parents...

614
00:44:54,591 --> 00:44:57,890
as if, if their mom had breastfed them,
their lives would be different.

615
00:44:57,995 --> 00:44:59,155
Bunch of whiners.

616
00:44:59,263 --> 00:45:02,426
Yeah, they are. But what if it wasn't
something you wonder about?

617
00:45:02,533 --> 00:45:05,525
What if you knew this is not the way
things are supposed to be?

618
00:45:05,636 --> 00:45:09,766
I'm not like that. I'm not into the whole
"destiny, there's-only-one-right-way" thing.

619
00:45:09,873 --> 00:45:11,773
I'm not, either. But what's worse?

620
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:14,969
Thinking you're being paranoid
or knowing you should be?

621
00:45:20,884 --> 00:45:23,648
You don't have to look at me like that.
I'm okay.

622
00:45:29,827 --> 00:45:32,625
No, I just assumed that you would.
I trust her.

623
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:36,530
- I know that when I decided to tell you...
- Decided to tell?

624
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:41,735
I knew that you are married and that there's
no secrets. Anything I tell you, she'll know.

625
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:43,363
- It's not a matter of trust.
- I know.

626
00:45:43,474 --> 00:45:46,102
It's just how much better will it be
if in a few days...

627
00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:49,668
I surprise her and we all just fly
to Costa Rica or somewhere for a month?

628
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:53,307
We'll let her understand it gradually.
Maybe do some real estate shopping...

629
00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:56,318
For now, you can tell her
you had a good day in the market.

630
00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:57,478
- You don't understand.
- No.

631
00:45:57,588 --> 00:46:00,056
You don't understand the questions
that come with that.

632
00:46:00,157 --> 00:46:02,682
But we'll explain it to her,
and we'll take some time...

633
00:46:02,793 --> 00:46:03,987
to figure out what's next...

634
00:46:04,094 --> 00:46:07,655
which, I think, should be building
a bigger box, like the size of a room...

635
00:46:07,765 --> 00:46:09,596
where more than one person could fit in.

636
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:12,828
Safe or not,
the thing feels like a coffin the way it is.

637
00:46:13,570 --> 00:46:15,333
By the way, this is our guy.

638
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,206
- What's the volume?
- Five-and-a-half.

639
00:46:20,811 --> 00:46:23,439
What's the return? Holy...

640
00:46:26,283 --> 00:46:30,549
No, I can't beat that. But mainly, I guess
I was just talking about Robert and Phillip.

641
00:46:30,654 --> 00:46:31,848
I don't want to tell them.

642
00:46:31,955 --> 00:46:34,219
I know they have a lot invested
in the group...

643
00:46:34,324 --> 00:46:35,689
I don't want to tell them.

644
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:39,024
If you need me to take the guilt on this one,
fine, okay?

645
00:46:39,129 --> 00:46:40,892
I accept it gladly. It's mine.

646
00:46:40,998 --> 00:46:43,660
At the end of this week,
they can have whatever they want.

647
00:46:43,767 --> 00:46:47,032
I'll turn over patent rights on everything
from the last two years.

648
00:46:47,137 --> 00:46:49,503
They can have the equipment,
the garage, the house.

649
00:46:49,606 --> 00:46:52,473
They can have my truck
if that makes you feel better.

650
00:46:52,576 --> 00:46:55,670
But I am not telling them a thing
about this. We're not.

651
00:47:10,460 --> 00:47:12,690
God, everything is so different in there.

652
00:47:12,796 --> 00:47:14,855
You can feel how cut off you are.

653
00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:18,168
It's this entirely separate world
and you encompass most of it.

654
00:47:18,268 --> 00:47:21,726
And the sound.
Isn't the sound different on the inside?

655
00:47:21,905 --> 00:47:25,238
It's like it's singing.
I guess you can't hear it on the outside...

656
00:47:25,342 --> 00:47:28,869
- I had this dream in there.
- About what?

657
00:47:30,747 --> 00:47:35,411
I was on or near the ocean,
and I just kept hearing the surf.

658
00:47:35,919 --> 00:47:37,409
It was so uneventful.

659
00:47:38,222 --> 00:47:41,191
At night.
And the tide kept coming in and out.

660
00:47:53,971 --> 00:47:56,735
Come here for a second, man.
What's on your hand?

661
00:47:57,307 --> 00:47:59,104
- Are you bleeding?
- That is blood.

662
00:47:59,209 --> 00:48:00,767
- Turn around.
- You see it?

663
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:03,278
Where is it coming from? It's your notebook.

664
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:06,474
- It's you. My gosh, it's on your ear.
- What is this?

665
00:48:06,817 --> 00:48:10,116
- Your ear's bleeding. Man.
- Give me that. I got it.

666
00:48:13,724 --> 00:48:16,659
- Is that normal? This isn't normal.
- For the machine?

667
00:48:17,494 --> 00:48:20,827
For people.
You think it's the machine? I got it.

668
00:48:38,882 --> 00:48:40,941
Great. I can actually
get some work done today.

669
00:48:41,051 --> 00:48:42,416
Hi, guys, what's going on?

670
00:48:42,519 --> 00:48:45,352
I always seem to get a lot more done

670
00:48:42,519 --> 00:48:45,352
I always seem to get a lot more done
when I'm not locked out.

671
00:48:45,455 --> 00:48:46,888
He says they had to spray again.

672
00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:49,959
But he can't tell us about it in advance.
Is Hero even here?

673
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:52,392
You never see anything around here
but those geckos.

674
00:48:52,496 --> 00:48:54,123
- I know.
- I think it's for the geckos.

675
00:48:54,231 --> 00:48:55,596
- What?
- Why?

676
00:48:55,766 --> 00:48:58,997
- Hey, man, thanks for the present.
- How is that working out for you?

677
00:48:59,102 --> 00:49:02,833
You know what? You guys, both of you,
you make fun, but there is a difference.

678
00:49:02,940 --> 00:49:04,202
Wait. What did you call him?

679
00:49:04,308 --> 00:49:06,367
- What?
- When you walked in? What did you say?

680
00:49:06,476 --> 00:49:07,943
- He didn't tell you about it?
- No.

681
00:49:08,045 --> 00:49:12,175
All right. Rachel's ex-boyfriend
walks into my birthday party with a shotgun.

682
00:49:12,282 --> 00:49:13,715
- What?
- Swear to God.

683
00:49:13,817 --> 00:49:15,614
I've already gotten that speech from Kara.

684
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,085
- Filby!
- You'll get it. You have a wife and kid.

685
00:49:18,188 --> 00:49:21,487
It's funny how you two are the only people
that have a problem with it.

686
00:49:21,591 --> 00:49:24,059
- Everybody else thinks I did a good thing.
- You didn't.

687
00:49:24,161 --> 00:49:27,562
You can't risk your life and
especially the welfare of Kara and Lauren...

688
00:49:27,664 --> 00:49:28,688
for someone like Rachel.

689
00:49:28,799 --> 00:49:30,858
She practically begs
for this to happen to her.

690
00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:32,560
I figured at least you'd understand.

691
00:49:32,669 --> 00:49:34,637
Understand what?
You've never been like this.

692
00:49:34,738 --> 00:49:38,435
That's what I mean.
You see how different things are now.

693
00:49:39,109 --> 00:49:41,270
Different? How are things different?

694
00:49:42,012 --> 00:49:44,879
You see it, okay? I know you do.

695
00:49:47,517 --> 00:49:49,280
Look, that was the night...

696
00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:51,978
you had told me everything
about the machine.

697
00:49:52,089 --> 00:49:55,786
Everything you showed me was so fresh
in my head and when I saw this guy...

698
00:49:55,892 --> 00:49:58,452
I'm looking at him.
I wasn't going to let him do that.

699
00:49:58,562 --> 00:50:01,326
I wasn't going
to let him scare people like that.

700
00:50:01,765 --> 00:50:03,665
I know it was stupid, okay?

701
00:50:03,867 --> 00:50:07,303
But I mean, this whole idea,
this whole thing that we're doing.

702
00:50:07,871 --> 00:50:12,433
It just took some getting used to for me.
I wasn't completely acclimated to it.

703
00:50:12,576 --> 00:50:16,068
If it was just you, you had to worry about,
I'd still think you're stupid.

704
00:50:16,179 --> 00:50:19,046
But you have a family now,
and God, especially now...

705
00:50:19,149 --> 00:50:20,980
anything like this would be crazy.

706
00:50:21,084 --> 00:50:24,076
- I know, okay.
- I know you know that, but you've got to...

707
00:50:24,187 --> 00:50:27,213
- I know, okay?
- Filby!

708
00:50:29,893 --> 00:50:33,351
You little sack of...
Even if you see him, don't tell me.

709
00:50:33,463 --> 00:50:37,092
It's not my fault if I don't know,
and I just hope the thing runs away.

710
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,929
Then what are we doing out here?

711
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:42,870
She worries about the cat.
So you look for the cat. It's what you do.

712
00:50:52,849 --> 00:50:54,783
- I don't know.
- What do you mean?

713
00:50:54,885 --> 00:50:58,184
It's embarrassing that the storage room guy
sees us come in together...

714
00:50:58,288 --> 00:50:59,482
but he never sees us leave.

715
00:50:59,589 --> 00:51:02,057
Yeah, but what do you think
the receptionist thinks...

716
00:51:02,159 --> 00:51:05,651
about two guys that come
and get a room for six hours every day?

717
00:51:09,099 --> 00:51:10,566
Did you unplug this?

718
00:51:14,438 --> 00:51:16,565
You brought your cell phone?

719
00:51:18,075 --> 00:51:20,066
Can I check the caller ID?

720
00:51:22,112 --> 00:51:23,875
Yeah, we're not back.

721
00:51:24,981 --> 00:51:27,882
Yeah, but you can't take it back
with you, okay?

722
00:51:32,489 --> 00:51:34,821
This is Aaron. Hey, babe.

723
00:51:35,692 --> 00:51:39,924
I'm not there. I had to come downtown
and hold some of these guys' hands.

724
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:41,224
Tell me.

725
00:51:42,399 --> 00:51:45,664
That sounds good.
No, I've got to eat with these offsite fags.

726
00:51:45,769 --> 00:51:48,067
Save mine, though. I'll have it later.

727
00:51:48,638 --> 00:51:53,098
Okay. Yeah, 6:00.

728
00:52:55,939 --> 00:52:57,873
- What?
- What?

729
00:52:58,108 --> 00:53:01,908
We're supposed to win this by two,
they just turned over with 12 on the clock.

730
00:53:02,012 --> 00:53:05,880
- We have to foul.
- No.

731
00:53:06,283 --> 00:53:09,946
What? No, we foul here,
they miss the first free throw...

732
00:53:10,053 --> 00:53:12,214
- and they come back with the three.
- Three points.

733
00:53:12,322 --> 00:53:13,516
That's right.

734
00:53:19,896 --> 00:53:23,127
Man, are you hungry?
I haven't eaten since later this afternoon.

735
00:53:26,736 --> 00:53:28,169
What's up, you guys?

736
00:53:35,745 --> 00:53:39,112
- You have got to be kidding.
- I'm sorry. I forgot it was in my pocket.

737
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:40,877
- It's Kara?
- Yeah.

738
00:53:44,354 --> 00:53:45,912
How do cell phones work?

739
00:53:46,022 --> 00:53:48,889
If there's two duplicate phones
and I call the same number...

740
00:53:48,992 --> 00:53:51,256
do they both ring at the same time,
or is there...

741
00:53:51,361 --> 00:53:53,522
- That's not how they work.
- It's a radio signal.

742
00:53:53,630 --> 00:53:54,892
No, it's a network.

743
00:53:54,998 --> 00:53:58,058
It checks each area and
when it finds the phone, it stops ringing.

744
00:53:58,168 --> 00:53:59,760
It rings the first one.

745
00:54:02,205 --> 00:54:04,969
- This one is ringing.
- Right.

746
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:07,373
So the one your double has in Russellfield
can't be.

747
00:54:07,477 --> 00:54:09,536
Right. I think we broke symmetry.

748
00:54:10,847 --> 00:54:14,112
- Are you sure that's how cell phones work?
- No.

749
00:54:15,819 --> 00:54:17,514
You feel all right?

750
00:54:18,321 --> 00:54:20,482
- I feel fine. Do you?
- Yeah.

751
00:54:49,653 --> 00:54:51,814
Is Kara asleep? Did I wake you up?

752
00:54:51,921 --> 00:54:55,857
Yeah. No, not me, it felt more like a nap.

753
00:54:56,459 --> 00:54:59,792
I think my body's getting used to
these 36-hour days. What's going on?

754
00:54:59,896 --> 00:55:02,160
We can do this, but we have to do it now.

755
00:55:02,265 --> 00:55:05,029
- Do you have his home address?
- Why now?

756
00:55:05,135 --> 00:55:08,332
We were planning on taking a trip
tomorrow, right? Just like today?

757
00:55:08,438 --> 00:55:09,666
Yeah, for stocks.

758
00:55:09,773 --> 00:55:14,210
Okay, well, half an hour ago I was asleep.
This car alarm woke me up.

759
00:55:14,311 --> 00:55:17,075
These kids were down skating by,
hitting cars on the block.

760
00:55:17,180 --> 00:55:21,139
So we go right now, do our business
at Platts', get back in the box...

761
00:55:21,251 --> 00:55:23,776
and come back before
those kids set off those alarms.

762
00:55:23,887 --> 00:55:27,846
All we really have to do is stand there
in plain sight. That should scare them off.

763
00:55:27,957 --> 00:55:29,925
That way my double
sleeps through the night...

764
00:55:30,026 --> 00:55:34,486
they don't have this conversation,
and they get in the box tomorrow as usual.

765
00:55:36,099 --> 00:55:39,865
- They'll be changed. But...
- Yeah, but at least they'll get in the box.

766
00:55:42,172 --> 00:55:45,938
Wait, how do we go back that far
if the machines haven't been running?

767
00:55:48,311 --> 00:55:51,644
- Have they been running?
- Yeah.

768
00:55:51,781 --> 00:55:55,239
I started going by at 5:00,and turning them on, 5:00 p. m.

769
00:55:55,985 --> 00:55:58,180
I got tired of the whole
unanswerable question...

770
00:55:58,288 --> 00:56:01,280
Are we doing this as an experiment
or are we doing this for me?

771
00:56:01,391 --> 00:56:04,053
- A little of both.
- 5:00.

772
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,926
If we get this done by 3:00,
that's 10 hours in the box.

773
00:56:09,065 --> 00:56:11,124
I've got the O2 tanks in the car.

774
00:56:26,783 --> 00:56:29,445
- Is that...
- Is that Rachel's car?

775
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,549
No, that's not Rachel's, that's her dad's.
They have the same kind.

776
00:56:34,791 --> 00:56:36,122
Did you see that?

777
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,555
That's Mr. Granger. That's Thomas.
He's sitting in that car.

778
00:56:40,964 --> 00:56:41,988
What?

779
00:56:42,532 --> 00:56:44,796
I swear that was him.
What the hell is he doing...

780
00:56:44,901 --> 00:56:47,734
sitting outside my house
at 2:00 in the morning?

781
00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:52,307
I don't believe this.
What, is he following us?

782
00:56:52,409 --> 00:56:55,071
- What are you doing?
- Let's just see what he wants.

783
00:56:55,178 --> 00:56:58,113
No, let's just get out
of my neighborhood first. Come on.

784
00:56:58,214 --> 00:57:00,648
- Did you see him today?
- No.

785
00:57:02,585 --> 00:57:04,985
I did. I saw him this afternoon...

786
00:57:05,555 --> 00:57:06,783
around 6:00.

787
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:09,154
Are you sure you didn't see him
when we drove past?

788
00:57:09,259 --> 00:57:10,385
No, what?

789
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,986
I'm positive this afternoon
he was clean-shaven. I know he was.

790
00:57:14,097 --> 00:57:16,497
He was ready to go to some function
with his wife.

791
00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:19,193
He looks like he's got
a two or three-day growth now.

792
00:57:19,302 --> 00:57:22,430
- Are you sure?
- No, I'm not sure, but I think so.

793
00:57:27,343 --> 00:57:29,834
Rachel. This is Abe. Did I wake you up?

794
00:57:31,648 --> 00:57:34,708
Can I get your dad's number
from you real quick?

795
00:57:35,318 --> 00:57:37,411
Yeah. Okay, go ahead.

796
00:57:39,756 --> 00:57:42,020
- Yeah, thanks.
- What's he doing?

797
00:57:42,926 --> 00:57:44,723
He's just sitting there.

798
00:57:45,094 --> 00:57:48,894
He got out for a second
and I thought he was coming over...

799
00:57:49,399 --> 00:57:52,425
and then he got back in the car.
I think he's drunk.

800
00:57:52,535 --> 00:57:55,129
Hi, sorry to call so late.

801
00:57:55,505 --> 00:57:58,133
May I speak to Thomas Granger, please?

802
00:57:59,576 --> 00:58:02,739
Yeah, this is James Miller
from Putney and Myers.

803
00:58:04,347 --> 00:58:05,678
Hi, Mr. Granger?

804
00:58:07,050 --> 00:58:08,540
Thomas Granger?

805
00:58:12,722 --> 00:58:15,190
What are you doing here? Come here!

806
00:58:30,406 --> 00:58:31,873
What happened?

807
00:58:33,076 --> 00:58:34,839
I'm okay. I slipped.

808
00:58:45,722 --> 00:58:49,214
I want to know what box he used.
You built one for you, right? Just one.

809
00:58:49,325 --> 00:58:51,452
Yeah. How many do you think I made?

810
00:58:54,964 --> 00:58:57,831
These are set right. I turned them on at 5:00.

811
00:58:58,434 --> 00:59:00,868
He could have used one
and gone back to 5:00.

812
00:59:00,970 --> 00:59:03,200
He could be in one of them right now.

813
00:59:06,543 --> 00:59:09,239
I say we shut them off
and see if he's in there.

814
00:59:10,380 --> 00:59:12,109
Were you planning on talking to him?

815
00:59:12,215 --> 00:59:14,410
Just tell me if you were.
I'm not going to be mad.

816
00:59:14,517 --> 00:59:16,348
No, I promise you. You know I wouldn't.

817
00:59:16,452 --> 00:59:17,680
Are you sure you wouldn't?

818
00:59:17,787 --> 00:59:20,722
You're the one he can't get near
without passing out.

819
00:59:22,792 --> 00:59:25,556
There is no way
I would tell anyone about this. No way.

820
00:59:25,662 --> 00:59:27,789
- Can you think of any reason you might?
- No.

821
00:59:27,897 --> 00:59:30,730
Sometimes we do things
but don't know how we got to that point.

822
00:59:30,833 --> 00:59:32,300
- No, I can't.
- Can't what?

823
00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:35,235
I can't think of any reason why I would.

824
00:59:36,439 --> 00:59:38,202
Well, I can't either.

825
00:59:38,908 --> 00:59:41,001
What if it was an emergency?

826
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:46,440
- So you'd do it if it was an emergency?
- No, I don't know. What, so you might then?

827
00:59:47,116 --> 00:59:49,346
I don't know. What kind of emergency?

828
00:59:50,787 --> 00:59:52,687
The permutations were endless.

829
00:59:55,191 --> 00:59:56,886
They tried again going to the source...

830
00:59:56,993 --> 00:59:59,723
but even while keeping him separated
from Abe by two rooms...

831
00:59:59,829 --> 01:00:00,818
Ask him his name.

832
01:00:00,930 --> 01:00:03,660
...Granger's condition
could only be described as vegetative.

833
01:00:03,766 --> 01:00:05,165
What did he say?

834
01:00:05,268 --> 01:00:07,828
From this they deduced
that the problem was recursive...

835
01:00:07,937 --> 01:00:11,566
but beyond that, found themselves
admitting, against their own nature...

836
01:00:11,674 --> 01:00:14,165
and once again,
that the answer was unknowable.

837
01:00:14,277 --> 01:00:15,972
- What do you think he changed?
- Not much.

838
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:19,674
We didn't have any contact with him
in the 3 hours he could've done anything.

839
01:00:19,782 --> 01:00:23,775
I know he changed this. I know we weren't
having this conversation the first time...

840
01:00:23,886 --> 01:00:25,183
so you don't know what we lost.

841
01:00:25,288 --> 01:00:26,812
It really could not have been much.

842
01:00:26,923 --> 01:00:29,721
It doesn't matter how much.
It just matters that it's changed.

843
01:00:29,826 --> 01:00:31,054
I know what you're saying.

844
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,457
The question should have been...

845
01:00:32,562 --> 01:00:34,996
what to do with the comatose man
in the guest bedroom.

846
01:00:35,098 --> 01:00:38,795
But in Abe's mind
he was already compiling the list.

847
01:00:45,041 --> 01:00:46,736
Two mg of oral triazolam...

848
01:00:46,843 --> 01:00:51,644
every seven hours induces a safe sleep state
and a minimal metabolic rate.

849
01:00:53,249 --> 01:00:54,876
At this continued state of rest...

850
01:00:54,984 --> 01:00:57,919
the human body breathes
0.3 liters of oxygen a minute...

851
01:00:58,021 --> 01:01:00,546
or roughly 2,000 liters in four days.

852
01:01:01,257 --> 01:01:04,590
A Class E oxygen tank holds 625 liters.

853
01:01:05,428 --> 01:01:06,793
To maintain hydration...

854
01:01:06,896 --> 01:01:11,026
the body cycles through a minimum
of two-and-a-half liters of water per day.

855
01:01:11,367 --> 01:01:13,528
Any food would be a luxury...

856
01:01:13,770 --> 01:01:16,398
but the small tank
of medical grade nitrous oxide...

857
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:18,565
would be needed on the other side.

858
01:01:19,242 --> 01:01:22,473
Past the room that contained their machines
and up two levels...

859
01:01:22,578 --> 01:01:24,341
he made his way to another room...

860
01:01:24,447 --> 01:01:29,146
where he had stored what I will refer to
from here on as the Failsafe Machine.

861
01:03:10,253 --> 01:03:12,915
There he is.
I've been calling you all morning.

862
01:03:14,624 --> 01:03:15,682
Really?

863
01:03:16,659 --> 01:03:18,320
Your cell and work.

864
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:24,892
I'm not there.

865
01:03:25,001 --> 01:03:26,161
Really?

866
01:03:31,407 --> 01:03:32,999
I don't even know what.

867
01:03:35,812 --> 01:03:37,074
I'm just tired.

868
01:03:37,246 --> 01:03:41,478
I hope you're not implying
that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi.

869
01:03:54,564 --> 01:03:57,727
I was going to come give you
this big speech about how we've been...

870
01:03:57,834 --> 01:04:00,701
friends for a long time and built up trust,
that whole thing.

871
01:04:00,803 --> 01:04:02,270
But how about this instead?

872
01:04:02,371 --> 01:04:06,501
If you ditch work this afternoon and promise
to do the few small things I ask you...

873
01:04:06,609 --> 01:04:09,373
I will in return show you
the most important thing...

874
01:04:09,478 --> 01:04:12,072
that any living organism has ever witnessed.

875
01:04:13,649 --> 01:04:17,745
At this point
there would have been some discussion.

876
01:04:20,289 --> 01:04:23,315
Abe would, of course, want to know how.

877
01:04:25,428 --> 01:04:28,727
Aaron would have to explain
all about the storage manifest...

878
01:04:28,831 --> 01:04:32,289
and how it showed two rooms
under the name Abram Terger.

879
01:04:32,668 --> 01:04:35,796
Then Abe would need to know how.

880
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,401
Aaron would explain
that when he went up there...

881
01:04:39,508 --> 01:04:41,373
and found the Failsafe running...

882
01:04:41,477 --> 01:04:43,570
he knew exactly what it was.

883
01:04:44,780 --> 01:04:47,044
But Abe would ask how.

884
01:04:47,850 --> 01:04:50,751
And then the bit
about the modular design of the coffins...

885
01:04:50,853 --> 01:04:54,619
and how it meant he could fold one up
and take it back inside another.

886
01:04:55,091 --> 01:04:57,252
They are not one-time use only.

887
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,920
They are recyclable, Aaron would say.

888
01:05:05,701 --> 01:05:07,430
How, Abe would ask.

889
01:05:10,706 --> 01:05:13,573
And Aaron would describe
how simple things become...

890
01:05:14,410 --> 01:05:17,971
when you know precisely
what someone will have for breakfast...

891
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,310
even in a world of tamper-proof lids.

892
01:05:42,905 --> 01:05:43,894
How?

893
01:05:45,374 --> 01:05:47,808
And that's where
I would have entered the story.

894
01:05:47,910 --> 01:05:50,378
Or exited, depending on your reference.

895
01:05:52,648 --> 01:05:56,311
Because when Aaron came back
the second time, it wasn't so easy.

896
01:05:58,587 --> 01:06:01,112
He wasn't expecting me to put up a fight.

897
01:06:01,223 --> 01:06:04,386
And by that time,
he was too exhausted to take me.

898
01:06:05,761 --> 01:06:08,594
But for reasons
that are only evident to me now...

899
01:06:08,831 --> 01:06:11,265
I understood that he simply wanted it more.

900
01:06:11,367 --> 01:06:14,825
That he just had more invested. So I left.

901
01:06:15,504 --> 01:06:18,735
He had already performed the task,
as I had intended to...

902
01:06:18,841 --> 01:06:22,277
of recording the conversations of the day
just in case.

903
01:06:22,478 --> 01:06:25,470
Through that earpiece
he had a three-second lead on the world.

904
01:06:25,581 --> 01:06:28,448
Aaron, you need some sleep.
Some real sleep.

905
01:06:29,051 --> 01:06:31,747
I can't. I've got a schedule.

906
01:06:33,422 --> 01:06:36,949
He had but to speak aloud the words
that came into his head...

907
01:06:37,059 --> 01:06:39,425
and those around him would fall in line.

908
01:07:00,049 --> 01:07:01,448
This is Track 3.

909
01:07:01,550 --> 01:07:04,951
Abe is bringing my car around
and I am on my way to the court.

910
01:07:05,054 --> 01:07:06,214
I'll see Will there.

911
01:07:06,322 --> 01:07:10,383
I'll invite him to the party and make sure
he's bringing Rachel's boyfriend.

912
01:07:11,093 --> 01:07:12,151
Will.

913
01:07:13,596 --> 01:07:15,427
You pretentious prick.

914
01:07:15,531 --> 01:07:17,795
What the hell is that?
Is that your cell phone?

915
01:07:17,900 --> 01:07:20,494
- No, it's a radio, man.
- You look like Secret Service.

916
01:07:20,603 --> 01:07:23,970
- You look like Secret Service.
- Ariel meeting is moved to Wednesday.

917
01:07:24,073 --> 01:07:26,473
What? What the hell
am I hanging around here for?

918
01:07:26,575 --> 01:07:28,008
Yeah, I know. Sorry.

919
01:07:28,110 --> 01:07:29,839
Nice shot, Aaron.

920
01:07:32,114 --> 01:07:34,139
Brick. That is ugly, Aaron.

921
01:07:34,250 --> 01:07:36,377
We could have used that
last week against TI.

922
01:07:36,485 --> 01:07:39,716
At least you've got your golf game.
I see you've been practicing.

923
01:07:39,822 --> 01:07:43,519
You come out here with your $3 tie
and think you can play whiteball.

924
01:07:43,626 --> 01:07:45,560
What are you doing tonight?

925
01:07:45,661 --> 01:07:48,789
I was supposed to be in Raleigh.
Thanks to you I missed my flight.

926
01:07:48,898 --> 01:07:50,160
- You know Robert?
- Yeah.

927
01:07:50,266 --> 01:07:52,757
He's got a birthday tonight.
Why don't you come out?

928
01:07:52,868 --> 01:07:56,827
- I'm just going to hang out with my cousin.
- Bring him. Rachel will be there.

929
01:07:56,939 --> 01:07:59,066
- Big reunion.
- Exactly.

930
01:08:15,257 --> 01:08:17,418
I don't think I'm doing this.

931
01:08:19,328 --> 01:08:20,420
Why not?

932
01:08:21,597 --> 01:08:24,930
Because I can think of a million
different ways that this can happen...

933
01:08:25,034 --> 01:08:26,934
and nobody comes anywhere near
getting hurt.

934
01:08:27,036 --> 01:08:29,937
I can call her and see
if she wants to do something else...

935
01:08:30,039 --> 01:08:32,303
or better yet,
not even talk to her about the party.

936
01:08:32,408 --> 01:08:35,468
That's good for tonight. What about
tomorrow? And every other day?

937
01:08:35,578 --> 01:08:38,547
- I'll take care of tomorrow, tomorrow.
- You'll watch her always.

938
01:08:38,647 --> 01:08:42,208
This guy is crazy enough to walk
into a room of people waving a shotgun.

939
01:08:42,318 --> 01:08:44,786
What do you think he'll do
if he ever finds her alone?

940
01:08:44,887 --> 01:08:48,323
This way, we know exactly what happens.
We have complete control over it.

941
01:08:48,424 --> 01:08:51,621
At the end of the night,
this guy is arrested and goes to jail.

942
01:08:51,727 --> 01:08:54,457
That's the way it goes.
Your words, not mine.

943
01:08:55,097 --> 01:08:56,462
Now come on, it has to be you.

944
01:08:56,565 --> 01:09:00,001
She said she was there
because you told her you would be there.

945
01:09:05,574 --> 01:09:08,407
Don't tell me I came back
and did this for nothing.

946
01:09:12,781 --> 01:09:14,112
He doesn't fire?

947
01:09:15,584 --> 01:09:17,279
- No. He didn't fire.
- He never fires?

948
01:09:17,386 --> 01:09:19,718
- Not even when you rushed him?
- No. He didn't.

949
01:09:19,822 --> 01:09:22,586
He didn't the time I was, when I rushed him.

950
01:09:22,691 --> 01:09:25,285
And from what Robert tells you,
he didn't do it tonight.

951
01:09:25,394 --> 01:09:27,794
He doesn't have the nerve.
We know everything.

952
01:09:27,897 --> 01:09:29,455
Okay? We're prescient.

953
01:09:36,405 --> 01:09:37,895
We can still be careful.

954
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:40,703
Maybe we can get to the gun
without him knowing.

955
01:09:41,076 --> 01:09:42,407
We definitely can.

956
01:09:42,511 --> 01:09:46,038
He leaves it in the truck
before he goes in. We don't even need to...

957
01:09:46,148 --> 01:09:49,709
- but if it makes you feel better...
- What's wrong with our hands?

958
01:09:51,954 --> 01:09:53,353
What do you mean?

959
01:09:53,455 --> 01:09:55,719
Why can't we write like normal people?

960
01:09:58,127 --> 01:10:00,721
I don't know. I can see the letters.

961
01:10:02,831 --> 01:10:07,632
I know what they should look like.
I just can't get my hand to make them easily.

962
01:10:08,470 --> 01:10:11,564
Try comparing it to your left hand.
Mine looks the same.

963
01:10:31,327 --> 01:10:33,591
Guess what today is.

964
01:10:36,065 --> 01:10:38,556
No, no. It's your friend Robert's birthday.

965
01:10:40,002 --> 01:10:42,800
He says he likes records,
so I got him The Best of Bread.

966
01:10:42,905 --> 01:10:44,668
No, real records, like vinyl.

967
01:10:45,007 --> 01:10:49,273
I can tell you with certainty
what I did that night when it was my turn.

968
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:54,243
But I think it would do little good,
because what the world remembers...

969
01:10:54,350 --> 01:10:58,047
the actuality,
the last revision is what counts, apparently.

970
01:10:59,255 --> 01:11:01,587
So how many times did it take Aaron...

971
01:11:01,690 --> 01:11:04,284
as he cycled
through the same conversations...

972
01:11:04,393 --> 01:11:06,827
lip-synching trivia over and over?

973
01:11:07,296 --> 01:11:10,561
How many times would it take
before he got it right?

974
01:11:10,699 --> 01:11:12,530
Three? Four?

975
01:11:13,702 --> 01:11:14,862
Twenty?

976
01:11:16,071 --> 01:11:19,336
I've decided to believe
that only one more would have done it.

977
01:11:19,441 --> 01:11:22,433
I can almost sleep at night
if there is only one more.

978
01:11:23,312 --> 01:11:27,476
Slowly and methodically,
he reverse-engineered a perfect moment.

979
01:11:29,785 --> 01:11:32,276
He took from his surroundings
what was needed...

980
01:11:32,388 --> 01:11:34,583
and made of it something more.

981
01:11:47,136 --> 01:11:50,367
And once the details had been
successfully navigated...

982
01:11:50,472 --> 01:11:53,737
there would be nothing left to do
but wait for the conflict.

983
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:01,278
Maybe the obligatory
last-minute moral debate...

984
01:12:01,383 --> 01:12:04,147
until the noise of the room
escalates into panic...

985
01:12:04,253 --> 01:12:07,450
and background screams
as the gunman walks in.

986
01:12:08,857 --> 01:12:12,725
And eventually he must have got it perfect
and it must have been beautiful...

987
01:12:12,828 --> 01:12:15,524
with all the praise and adoration
he had coming.

988
01:12:15,631 --> 01:12:18,156
He had probably saved lives, after all.

989
01:12:20,002 --> 01:12:23,233
Who knows what would have happened
if he hadn't been there?

990
01:12:38,220 --> 01:12:40,620
I know that things are bad, okay?

991
01:12:42,424 --> 01:12:45,291
I know that you don't agree
with what I've done.

992
01:12:45,961 --> 01:12:47,053
I know that you're upset.

993
01:12:47,162 --> 01:12:50,791
And to be honest, I'm not too happy
with you, either, right now.

994
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,233
But you know that this is going to pass.
Let's just go.

995
01:12:54,336 --> 01:12:57,271
Let's go somewhere
where we don't speak the language.

996
01:12:57,373 --> 01:12:59,398
Aaron, we don't have the money back here...

997
01:12:59,508 --> 01:13:01,339
and we'd have to steal our own passports.

998
01:13:01,443 --> 01:13:03,343
Money? We'll make money.

999
01:13:03,612 --> 01:13:05,773
They have sports betting in Vegas.
March Madness.

1000
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,816
We'll make enough in one night
to finance a thousand vacations.

1001
01:13:08,917 --> 01:13:11,977
Passports. You know
they're not using theirs, anyways.

1002
01:13:12,788 --> 01:13:14,881
Now, come on. I'm thinking Star City.

1003
01:13:14,990 --> 01:13:17,424
Check out the cosmonaut training grounds.

1004
01:13:17,659 --> 01:13:19,183
I'm staying here.

1005
01:13:20,129 --> 01:13:21,187
Why?

1006
01:13:31,473 --> 01:13:33,907
They'll be building their own boxes
in another day.

1007
01:13:34,009 --> 01:13:36,239
And yours already knows what they've built.

1008
01:13:36,345 --> 01:13:39,508
You're not going to be able
to watch them forever.

1009
01:13:40,616 --> 01:13:42,743
The box Abe is building won't work.

1010
01:13:43,285 --> 01:13:45,014
He's got it wired wrong.

1011
01:13:45,721 --> 01:13:47,245
And if they fix that...

1012
01:13:47,356 --> 01:13:50,325
I'll start actually taking pieces out of it.
It's just a gimmick.

1013
01:13:50,426 --> 01:13:51,586
It doesn't work anymore.

1014
01:13:51,693 --> 01:13:54,491
Your double will say
they have to move on to something else.

1015
01:13:54,663 --> 01:13:56,528
And mine will agree. They're friends.

1016
01:13:56,632 --> 01:13:58,429
You're staying? Why?

1017
01:13:58,634 --> 01:14:00,625
Why? Let's see, why would Abe stay?

1018
01:14:00,736 --> 01:14:03,728
What possible reason could there be
to be here?

1019
01:14:06,241 --> 01:14:09,677
I guess that
it just won't go back far enough, will it?

1020
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:14,742
Tell you what, why don't you take Kara
and Lauren and put them in the box...

1021
01:14:14,850 --> 01:14:19,014
and then you and Aaron can each keep a set
and you can stop feeding off it.

1022
01:14:19,121 --> 01:14:21,954
- Don't come back.
- You can each keep a set and a hemisphere.

1023
01:14:22,057 --> 01:14:24,992
There hasn't been a reason
to show you what I'm capable of...

1024
01:14:25,093 --> 01:14:27,425
but I'm telling this you now. Go out there.

1025
01:14:27,529 --> 01:14:31,021
Do whatever the hell you want.
There's no way in the world I can stop you.

1026
01:14:31,133 --> 01:14:32,828
But don't come back here...

1027
01:14:32,935 --> 01:14:34,903
and don't come near them.

1028
01:14:36,038 --> 01:14:37,164
Any of them.

1029
01:14:52,855 --> 01:14:55,585
Now I have repaid any debt
I may have owed you.

1030
01:14:56,225 --> 01:14:57,920
You know all that I know.

1031
01:14:58,293 --> 01:15:01,820
My voice is the only proof
that you will have of the truth of any of this.

1032
01:15:01,930 --> 01:15:04,626
I might have written a letter
with my signature...

1033
01:15:04,733 --> 01:15:07,258
but my handwriting
is not what it used to be.

1034
01:15:09,771 --> 01:15:12,501
Maybe you've had the presence of mind
to record this.

1035
01:15:12,608 --> 01:15:14,132
That's your prerogative.

1036
01:15:14,243 --> 01:15:16,234
You will not be contacted by me again.

1037
01:15:16,345 --> 01:15:17,539
Good morning.

1038
01:15:20,115 --> 01:15:21,412
Every half-meter.

1039
01:15:23,318 --> 01:15:24,615
Everywhere.

1040
01:15:26,522 --> 01:15:29,116
And if you look, you will not find me.

someone should just sticky this

hal9000 · Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 9:01 am Post subject:

I am not conversant enough with chat idioms to know what is meant by the 'bump' messages. So I'll be explicit with my own and say a big Thank You! to Gr8pumpkin for finding and posting the subtitle rips. I saved it as a file and it has been a great help in answering some of the questions I've had from the movie.

Thanks much!

When someone "bumps" a post, it's basically to keep it at the top of the page so a lot of folks can see it.

Sticky-ing a post means it will permanently stay at the top of the page.

Thanks Redaer. I thought the 'bump' notes were somehow derogatory, since I could only correlate them with "dis" which is slang for disrespecting someone. Thanks for your new data!
