1 00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,249 Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to read this... 2 00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:40,671 and you're going to listen, and you're going to stay on the line. 3 00:00:40,907 --> 00:00:44,354 You're not going to interrupt. You're not going to speak for any reason. 4 00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:48,222 Now, some of this you know. I'm going to start at the top of the page. 5 00:00:51,016 --> 00:00:55,140 Meticulous, yes. Methodical. Educated. 6 00:00:55,421 --> 00:00:57,308 They were these things. 7 00:00:57,489 --> 00:00:59,910 Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. 8 00:01:00,125 --> 00:01:04,118 There were days of mistakes and laziness and infighting. 9 00:01:04,796 --> 00:01:08,506 And there were days, good days, when by anyone's judgment... 10 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,269 they would have to be considered clever. 11 00:01:11,536 --> 00:01:14,635 No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. 12 00:01:15,073 --> 00:01:19,263 It wouldn't even be considered new. Except maybe in the geological sense. 13 00:01:19,811 --> 00:01:22,396 They took from their surroundings what was needed... 14 00:01:22,613 --> 00:01:24,206 and made of it something more. 15 00:01:24,381 --> 00:01:27,862 -We haven't even set up an appointment. -What order date did you put on this? 16 00:01:28,118 --> 00:01:31,151 -The 28th. Why? -I don't know.... Yeah, I'm putting 28th. 17 00:01:31,388 --> 00:01:35,479 Have you thought any more about what you want to put forward? 18 00:01:37,394 --> 00:01:39,663 -Not really. -Because I was-- 19 00:01:39,863 --> 00:01:42,448 I mean I haven't changed my mind or anything. 20 00:01:42,666 --> 00:01:46,440 Phillip and I were talking, and we think it could be good. It'd be fun. 21 00:01:49,438 --> 00:01:51,129 Nobody's saying it wouldn't be fun. 22 00:01:51,307 --> 00:01:55,202 The time for jacking around with tesla coils and ball lightning in the garage is over. 23 00:01:55,478 --> 00:01:57,966 Maybe you should try it on your own in yourfree time. 24 00:01:58,180 --> 00:02:01,114 My free time? The free time after the 50 hours a week at work... 25 00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:05,179 or after the 30 hours of free time I already spend in that garage? 26 00:02:05,753 --> 00:02:07,663 And it's not a tesla coil. 27 00:02:07,856 --> 00:02:10,311 I could save a few minutes a day by eating on the toilet. 28 00:02:10,526 --> 00:02:13,111 How many patents do we have? In the last 14 months? 29 00:02:13,328 --> 00:02:16,110 -Did you sign the agreement? -Nobody signed the agreement. 30 00:02:16,330 --> 00:02:18,370 Doesn't matter, we're sticking to the agreement. 31 00:02:18,566 --> 00:02:21,566 Name one thing out of that garage that's remotely profitable. 32 00:02:21,802 --> 00:02:24,999 I don't see anybody quitting their jobs because of it. Are you? 33 00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:27,792 Abe just means that right now the JTAG cards are it. 34 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:32,132 When you look at the addresses, we have a lot of apartments. A lot of residences. 35 00:02:32,412 --> 00:02:35,314 But these are not the bulk orders to the OEMs or retail giants. 36 00:02:35,549 --> 00:02:37,654 -These are the quiet basement-- -Hackers. 37 00:02:37,851 --> 00:02:41,146 Yeah, hacker wannabes testing their dads' old motherboards. 38 00:02:42,523 --> 00:02:46,297 And I know that a lot of that is my fault, admittedly, you know. 39 00:02:46,693 --> 00:02:50,784 With everything last year, and the doubletalk we were getting from Platts... 40 00:02:51,064 --> 00:02:54,576 -and all the stuff we won't get into now-- -We should get into it. 41 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,029 I'm sorry. What? 42 00:02:58,838 --> 00:03:00,561 Go ahead. Tell him. 43 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,462 We should get into it. I talked to my brother today. 44 00:03:04,676 --> 00:03:07,131 He knows of two other cases like that at his firm. 45 00:03:07,345 --> 00:03:10,411 -Let Platts know that we're talking about it. -Look, forget Platts. 46 00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:13,998 This has got to be about what has the best chance of going to market... 47 00:03:14,252 --> 00:03:16,390 and what is going to get us vC attention. 48 00:03:16,588 --> 00:03:19,817 Look, I stuck by you guys when it was your turn. 49 00:03:20,058 --> 00:03:22,741 And I wasn't 100�%� sure of what we were doing... 50 00:03:22,961 --> 00:03:25,165 or even if I didn't agree, maybe. 51 00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:28,538 But if it's my turn... 52 00:03:28,867 --> 00:03:32,445 if we're still playing by the rules, then this is what I want to try. 53 00:03:35,806 --> 00:03:38,043 Here, take it. They said it wouldn't hold a freeze. 54 00:03:38,242 --> 00:03:40,282 Robert, please. It's not going to hold. 55 00:03:40,477 --> 00:03:43,608 -It's going to go bad in my car. -It'll go bad here. Okay, thanks. 56 00:03:43,846 --> 00:03:45,472 -Good night, all. -See you. 57 00:03:48,218 --> 00:03:51,731 -We just got done giving this huge speech-- -We gave the speech? 58 00:03:51,989 --> 00:03:53,931 We just got done. It was five minutes ago. 59 00:03:54,123 --> 00:03:58,695 I'm the one that forced the issue. They're onto us because I suck as the bad cop. 60 00:03:58,994 --> 00:04:02,223 -You should do it. You could fake it better. -I don't know about that. 61 00:04:02,464 --> 00:04:05,693 As long as we're going down this road where it's eighth grade physics... 62 00:04:05,935 --> 00:04:09,251 and happy fun time out in that garage, I think we could stand to try this. 63 00:04:09,505 --> 00:04:12,406 Phillip and Robert are gung ho on theirs, and that's fine. 64 00:04:12,641 --> 00:04:14,845 But you know I have no interest in that. 65 00:04:15,043 --> 00:04:17,280 I know you have no interest, besides the fact... 66 00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:21,155 that Phillip and Robert don't even need us. They just want to use the equipment. 67 00:04:21,416 --> 00:04:23,653 For what I want to do? We don't need them. 68 00:04:23,851 --> 00:04:26,535 Not even Phillip, because it doesn't need software. 69 00:04:27,388 --> 00:04:30,105 -Is she asleep? -No, and she needs a bath. 70 00:04:30,626 --> 00:04:33,855 -She'll wind up in the closet if I do it. -That's fine. 71 00:04:34,896 --> 00:04:37,612 You know, even if Robert's okay with it, and he won't be. 72 00:04:37,832 --> 00:04:42,055 -I don't understand what that thing will do. -We'll let them go at it for two months. 73 00:04:42,335 --> 00:04:44,921 -They do theirs, we do ours. -They said it'd take 14 hours. 74 00:04:45,139 --> 00:04:47,146 Don't eat that. Seriously, it's bad. 75 00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:49,707 We threw the first couple of batches out. The filter. 76 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:51,534 What about crushed? 77 00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:54,474 These guys are funded. 78 00:04:54,814 --> 00:04:57,847 -These guys are.... What? -Liquid helium. These guys are funded. 79 00:04:58,084 --> 00:04:59,644 That's what this is. 80 00:04:59,819 --> 00:05:02,055 That's the whole difference. That's what the box is. 81 00:05:02,255 --> 00:05:05,255 We don't have to play the game where we're going back and forth... 82 00:05:05,491 --> 00:05:09,266 coming up with innovative ways to make it colder and unusable in the process. 83 00:05:09,529 --> 00:05:12,562 -Aaron, I need the hexagonal set. -This is unmarketable. 84 00:05:12,799 --> 00:05:15,384 By coming at it from the back end, rather than changing... 85 00:05:15,601 --> 00:05:18,634 the surrounding temperature, we'll change the level it'll conduct... 86 00:05:18,871 --> 00:05:21,587 the transition temperature. And by bombarding these edges-- 87 00:05:21,806 --> 00:05:24,872 They're dropping the ceramic, the temperature lower and lower. 88 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:28,754 It makes the ceramic less resistant and knocks out the interior magnetic field. 89 00:05:29,014 --> 00:05:31,632 What I'm saying is we drop the box down on it. 90 00:05:32,317 --> 00:05:35,514 Focus our own magnetic field to negate, knock out with the inverse... 91 00:05:35,753 --> 00:05:37,542 what's going on inside the ceramic. 92 00:05:37,722 --> 00:05:41,584 That should change the transition temperature to something we can work with. 93 00:05:41,859 --> 00:05:45,154 -What are we saying that is? -Hopefully, near room temperature. 94 00:05:46,563 --> 00:05:49,149 What is that about? The best mathematician is a lazy one? 95 00:05:49,366 --> 00:05:51,984 -What did you ask for? -I asked. I need the hexagonal set. 96 00:05:52,202 --> 00:05:53,795 -What did you call it? -Just come on. 97 00:05:53,971 --> 00:05:55,661 -Are these Type One? -The superconductors? 98 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,432 Yeah, they're Type One. 99 00:05:57,606 --> 00:05:59,167 Is that going to be a problem? 100 00:05:59,343 --> 00:06:02,093 There's plenty lying around at work, but they're all bar coded. 101 00:06:02,312 --> 00:06:05,759 -If I have to, I'll buy the kits. -What are you doing about the source? 102 00:06:06,016 --> 00:06:07,292 What? 103 00:06:08,050 --> 00:06:10,865 -I can get them. -You can.... Are you sure? 104 00:06:11,087 --> 00:06:12,810 I thought you didn't like this idea. 105 00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:15,835 Buy them if you have to. Everything else we can take care of. 106 00:06:16,058 --> 00:06:17,367 What about the source here? 107 00:06:17,526 --> 00:06:19,947 You know that story about how NASA spent millions... 108 00:06:20,162 --> 00:06:23,806 developing this pen that writes in zero-G? Did you ever read that? 109 00:06:24,066 --> 00:06:27,361 -And how Russia solved the problem? -Yeah, they used a pencil. 110 00:06:27,803 --> 00:06:29,625 Right, a normal wooden pencil. 111 00:06:30,572 --> 00:06:33,572 It just seems like Phillip takes the NASA route almost every time. 112 00:06:33,808 --> 00:06:36,361 -Palladium? -You've got their diagram, what does it say? 113 00:06:36,578 --> 00:06:38,432 They use a ratio of platinum and palladium. 114 00:06:38,613 --> 00:06:40,501 That's not necessary with the changes I made. 115 00:06:40,681 --> 00:06:42,853 They're just showing off. If you have it, use it. 116 00:06:43,050 --> 00:06:44,457 I want to get a replacement router. 117 00:06:44,619 --> 00:06:47,586 -I'm putting down four ounces of palladium. -Did Robert look at it? 118 00:06:47,822 --> 00:06:49,512 -I already got his. -I can't fix it. 119 00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:53,203 -Okay. Where are you getting it? -Wal-Mart. It's $50. 120 00:06:53,694 --> 00:06:56,247 -Okay. Can you get a receipt, please? -Yeah. 121 00:06:56,463 --> 00:06:58,602 Wait, platinum or palladium is less resistant? 122 00:06:58,799 --> 00:07:00,773 -Abe? It's not a-- -Yeah, I don't care. 123 00:07:00,968 --> 00:07:03,357 -So resistance doesn't matter. -I need an aye or a yes. 124 00:07:03,570 --> 00:07:05,512 -Did you jiggle the-- -The collet nut? 125 00:07:05,706 --> 00:07:08,324 -Robert did it. -Well, yes. I guess. 126 00:07:08,975 --> 00:07:12,237 -Well, then, which is cheaper? -You're not going to buy it, are you? 127 00:07:12,478 --> 00:07:15,707 Well, unless you've got a few grams of palladium lying around. 128 00:07:16,382 --> 00:07:19,000 Why would they put it in there if you didn't need it? 129 00:07:19,218 --> 00:07:21,192 One catalytic converter. It's fine. 130 00:07:21,387 --> 00:07:23,939 Remember to put it back. Your emission just went up 300�%�. 131 00:07:24,157 --> 00:07:25,979 -Is there enough in here? -Yeah, should be. 132 00:07:26,159 --> 00:07:29,868 If not, we'll pull the one out of my truck. Okay, copper tubing. 133 00:07:37,536 --> 00:07:40,667 -This will be out of commission, right? -Without the tubing? 134 00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:44,839 -We can use the Freon, too. -No, it's going to be room temperature. 135 00:07:45,075 --> 00:07:46,090 I know, just in case. 136 00:07:46,244 --> 00:07:50,105 No, wait. Stop. I'll just buy the tubing. This isn't saving us money. 137 00:07:56,187 --> 00:07:59,121 -Jay? Hey, man. How are you? -Good. 138 00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:22,983 Should we be wearing goggles? 139 00:08:25,447 --> 00:08:27,552 -Should we be wearing goggles? -What? 140 00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:29,921 Goggles. Should we be wearing goggles? 141 00:08:37,326 --> 00:08:39,660 Wait. Phillip, you don't want to come out here. 142 00:08:39,862 --> 00:08:41,967 Phillip, grab a mask, okay? 143 00:09:22,903 --> 00:09:25,269 It is, though, right? It's not just me? 144 00:09:25,471 --> 00:09:29,912 No, it's definitely smaller, but it just seems that way. Take what they have. 145 00:09:30,809 --> 00:09:33,144 Minus the coolant which we don't need. 146 00:09:33,746 --> 00:09:35,753 The rest of it is the mercury bath... 147 00:09:35,948 --> 00:09:40,039 which you would know better than I do, but they're probably just showing off. 148 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,946 I mean, you have it, you got to use it, right? 149 00:09:46,025 --> 00:09:48,326 -What? Does it hurt? -No, I didn't feel anything. 150 00:09:48,526 --> 00:09:50,730 That sound is just weirding me out. 151 00:09:56,501 --> 00:09:58,443 -What does it feel like? -I don't know. 152 00:09:58,636 --> 00:10:00,708 I don't know if I'm making it up. 153 00:10:02,005 --> 00:10:03,216 Here. 154 00:10:17,621 --> 00:10:20,305 -Next part. Let's do the next part. -Yeah. 155 00:10:28,431 --> 00:10:31,627 Isn't there some sort of glass or a transparent.... 156 00:10:31,867 --> 00:10:34,322 Anything we can use as a window? Pyrex? 157 00:10:34,537 --> 00:10:36,097 -Yeah, I'm in. -Okay, drop it. 158 00:10:36,273 --> 00:10:39,207 -I don't know of anything that won't leave a gap in the field. 159 00:10:39,442 --> 00:10:41,351 But we got to see what's going on in there. 160 00:10:41,543 --> 00:10:44,096 -How much did that cost? -Yeah. 161 00:10:45,147 --> 00:10:47,732 -What? -You want to put my camcorder... 162 00:10:47,950 --> 00:10:51,332 inside the box that's so dangerous we can't look into it. 163 00:10:54,957 --> 00:10:57,673 If something happens, would you pay me back? 164 00:10:59,194 --> 00:11:02,543 So we have a slightly negative pressure in the box. 165 00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,752 So we're ready for the argon. 166 00:11:05,567 --> 00:11:08,982 -Which one is that? -It's the blue one. 167 00:11:09,638 --> 00:11:12,867 I weighed it at 77 grams. 168 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:15,279 I set the scale to decagrams, though. 169 00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:19,226 I'm showing 7.7 decagrams. 170 00:11:20,481 --> 00:11:22,172 Ready for... 171 00:11:22,783 --> 00:11:26,973 0.05 liters of argon. 172 00:11:35,763 --> 00:11:38,129 -You ready? -Just the plate first, right? 173 00:11:38,331 --> 00:11:41,113 Right, first just the plate, and then we'll.... 174 00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:48,496 Let's just give it a second. 175 00:12:06,925 --> 00:12:08,932 -You want to do the box now? -Yeah. 176 00:12:09,194 --> 00:12:11,747 Let's go through the checklist. Aaron, hold on a second. 177 00:12:11,962 --> 00:12:15,508 Let's make sure everything's set up right. Hold on, Aaron. Wait. 178 00:12:17,435 --> 00:12:18,809 Just wait. 179 00:12:30,147 --> 00:12:31,423 Okay. 180 00:12:40,957 --> 00:12:42,298 Anything? 181 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,665 -Is this normal? -I don't know. 182 00:12:46,995 --> 00:12:49,002 -I'm turning it off. -Wait! No. 183 00:12:52,534 --> 00:12:55,796 -Okay, I didn't do that. -Did we blow something? 184 00:12:57,906 --> 00:13:00,906 Yeah, we did. That's destroyed. 185 00:13:01,710 --> 00:13:04,263 -You want to check your camera? -Yeah. 186 00:13:04,813 --> 00:13:06,667 -Let's get this. -You ready? 187 00:13:06,914 --> 00:13:09,086 One, two, three. 188 00:13:22,429 --> 00:13:25,812 Hey. Tell me you're hungry. Kara's at her mom's and I'm starving. 189 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,407 Yeah, I'm hungry. What.... 190 00:13:28,602 --> 00:13:32,596 Abe, it's 7:00. Abe, it's 7:00 at night. 191 00:13:32,939 --> 00:13:35,176 -Okay, yeah, I have food-- -Okay. 192 00:13:35,376 --> 00:13:38,605 -Wait, are those kids there? -Just a sec. 193 00:13:39,813 --> 00:13:41,154 Yeah, they're here. 194 00:13:41,314 --> 00:13:44,926 Okay, screw that, let's just go somewhere. I just pulled in, so come on down. 195 00:13:45,184 --> 00:13:48,119 Come up first. I have some stuff I want to take back to the shop. 196 00:13:48,354 --> 00:13:50,394 All right, but meet me at the door. 197 00:13:50,590 --> 00:13:53,623 -Okay, all right. -Seriously, meet me at the door. 198 00:13:53,893 --> 00:13:55,716 Okay. All right. See you. 199 00:14:09,909 --> 00:14:12,178 -What's up, Abe? -Hey, Brad. How are you? 200 00:14:12,510 --> 00:14:13,557 Good. 201 00:14:23,888 --> 00:14:26,538 -How long did he say he would be there? -Not long. 202 00:14:26,758 --> 00:14:29,660 If he's got problems, he's got to fix them. You're not his dad. 203 00:14:29,893 --> 00:14:33,374 I know. I just thought it would be good to do something charitable. 204 00:14:33,630 --> 00:14:36,314 It definitely is charity. At least you admit that. 205 00:14:39,236 --> 00:14:42,335 You feel like a steak? To eat. 206 00:14:43,406 --> 00:14:46,702 I don't want a steak. Let's just grab some tacos on the way to the shop. 207 00:14:46,943 --> 00:14:48,798 -I have some stuff I want to try out. -Okay. 208 00:14:48,979 --> 00:14:52,808 We can get some tacos on the way, or we can get a steak afterwards. 209 00:14:53,083 --> 00:14:56,214 What are you talking about? I'm not paying for a steak. 210 00:15:01,157 --> 00:15:02,618 It's stable? 211 00:15:04,459 --> 00:15:06,281 Aaron, it's stable? 212 00:15:14,303 --> 00:15:16,888 -What did you do to this thing? -What? 213 00:15:17,372 --> 00:15:20,820 -It looks like a dog digested it. -Okay, that's the plate. 214 00:15:21,710 --> 00:15:24,393 I rigged this into the box so I could control the feed. 215 00:15:24,613 --> 00:15:27,580 -I figured it's the easiest way-- -It's just controlling the box. 216 00:15:27,816 --> 00:15:31,493 The plate stays the same. What you do is you gradually feed it. 217 00:15:35,656 --> 00:15:38,242 Okay. You hear that? How it's.... 218 00:15:38,459 --> 00:15:41,656 See, I'm not touching it anymore. It's growing with its own momentum. 219 00:15:41,895 --> 00:15:44,351 It's like a feedback loop, and it just regulates itself. 220 00:15:44,565 --> 00:15:48,177 And what you do is when it gets there, you bring it back... 221 00:15:49,303 --> 00:15:52,619 and there you go, it coasts. It's stable. It stays like that. 222 00:15:55,541 --> 00:15:56,915 So it works? 223 00:15:57,677 --> 00:16:00,099 -Yeah, it does. -What is that, like 10�%�? 224 00:16:00,513 --> 00:16:03,547 It knocks another couple of points by the time it reaches the peak. 225 00:16:03,783 --> 00:16:06,685 You may want to come over here and take a look at this. 226 00:16:06,986 --> 00:16:08,513 Okay, what am I looking at? 227 00:16:08,688 --> 00:16:11,852 -What are we pulling out of the batteries? -Probably 24 volts. 228 00:16:12,091 --> 00:16:14,360 -I mean, no more than that, right? -Okay. 229 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:16,185 So your meter's jacked up. 230 00:16:16,728 --> 00:16:20,373 That's what I figured. So I tried three others. I got the exact same thing. 231 00:16:20,632 --> 00:16:22,388 -I spent all last night-- -What was it? 232 00:16:22,567 --> 00:16:26,145 I spent last night and a two-hour break just double-checking everything. 233 00:16:26,405 --> 00:16:30,234 There's something wrong here. We're not pulling out more than we're putting in. 234 00:16:30,508 --> 00:16:32,647 -Slightly more. -Well, yeah, whatever. 235 00:16:32,844 --> 00:16:35,626 It's not like a volt and a half more than we're putting in. 236 00:16:35,847 --> 00:16:39,643 It's probably the batteries. They're cheap batteries, not regulated right. 237 00:16:40,051 --> 00:16:41,545 That is weird, though. 238 00:16:44,921 --> 00:16:46,929 You want to see something weirder? 239 00:16:47,325 --> 00:16:51,034 Okay, let's go over this again. Two batteries, right? 24 volts? 240 00:16:52,063 --> 00:16:55,030 What are we pulling out of this one? Just forfun. 241 00:16:57,867 --> 00:16:59,296 Twelve volts. 242 00:17:09,345 --> 00:17:12,728 -How about this one? -Should be 12 volts. 243 00:17:21,657 --> 00:17:23,567 So, what the hell is this thing? 244 00:17:24,860 --> 00:17:26,747 It doesn't stay like that. 245 00:17:27,663 --> 00:17:30,380 No, it winds down in a few minutes. What does that? 246 00:17:35,504 --> 00:17:39,333 I don't know. I'll tell them something. I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs. 247 00:17:39,607 --> 00:17:41,876 It should just be a day or two, anyways. 248 00:17:42,377 --> 00:17:46,206 -Unless you want to bring them in. -No, they have their work in there, too. 249 00:17:46,481 --> 00:17:49,514 If Phillip finds out about that he's going to have to take it apart. 250 00:17:49,751 --> 00:17:53,973 -No. I'm just putting a little tweak on it. -Yeah, I know. No, you're right. 251 00:17:54,755 --> 00:17:58,051 Abe, it's my garage, okay? It's not like they're paying rent. 252 00:17:58,692 --> 00:18:02,620 There was value in the thing. Clearly. Of that they were certain of. 253 00:18:02,896 --> 00:18:05,132 But what is the application? In a matter of hours... 254 00:18:05,332 --> 00:18:08,681 they had pinned it to everything from mass transit to satellite launching. 255 00:18:08,935 --> 00:18:11,040 Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets. 256 00:18:11,238 --> 00:18:14,172 Everything would be cheaper. It was practical and they knew it. 257 00:18:14,408 --> 00:18:16,382 But above all that, beyond the positives... 258 00:18:16,575 --> 00:18:18,647 they knew that the easiest way to be exploited... 259 00:18:18,844 --> 00:18:21,015 is to sell something they did not yet understand. 260 00:18:21,213 --> 00:18:24,529 So they kept quiet. The parties would continue. 261 00:18:24,784 --> 00:18:27,239 Any birthday, anniversary, holiday... 262 00:18:27,453 --> 00:18:31,228 maybe some obscure project launch. It didn't matter. Any reason would do. 263 00:18:31,557 --> 00:18:35,779 What was important is that Thomas Granger, their last best hope of funding, show up. 264 00:18:36,061 --> 00:18:40,251 If he left a little earlier than they would've liked, he couldn't be blamed. 265 00:18:40,532 --> 00:18:43,434 He was only there to please his daughter Rachel. 266 00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:46,123 And she was only there to please Abe. 267 00:18:48,673 --> 00:18:50,647 What did you say to Mr. Granger a while ago? 268 00:18:50,842 --> 00:18:53,493 -Did you flip my burger? -You can't call him Mr. Granger. 269 00:18:53,710 --> 00:18:55,783 You have to call him, like, Thomas or something. 270 00:18:55,979 --> 00:18:58,761 -Go ahead. -No, because he won't take you seriously. 271 00:19:00,084 --> 00:19:02,572 -He thinks we're kids. -If you call him Mr. Granger... 272 00:19:02,786 --> 00:19:07,325 he looks at you like you're a 6-year-old kid. He does it with me. It won't work anymore. 273 00:19:07,791 --> 00:19:11,271 Abe had taken on the task of quantifying and explaining the device. 274 00:19:12,395 --> 00:19:14,184 But as weeks became months... 275 00:19:14,364 --> 00:19:18,487 their enthusiasm became a slow realization that they were out of their depth. 276 00:20:01,509 --> 00:20:03,712 There he is. I've been calling you all morning. 277 00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:06,813 -Where'd you call? -Your work and your cell. 278 00:20:07,714 --> 00:20:09,121 I'm not there. 279 00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:11,495 Really? 280 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,368 -March Madness? -It's Carolina and Michigan. 281 00:20:16,589 --> 00:20:18,629 -Who's up? -I don't even know what. 282 00:20:20,226 --> 00:20:22,266 Do you have anything important at work today? 283 00:20:22,462 --> 00:20:26,236 I hope you're not impIying that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi. 284 00:20:27,833 --> 00:20:31,062 I was going to come give you this big speech about how we've been... 285 00:20:31,303 --> 00:20:34,150 friends for a long time and built up trust, that whole thing. 286 00:20:34,373 --> 00:20:35,934 But how about this instead? 287 00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:40,134 If you ditch work this afternoon and promise to do the few small things I ask you... 288 00:20:40,412 --> 00:20:43,030 I will in return show you the most important thing... 289 00:20:43,248 --> 00:20:45,801 that any living organism has ever witnessed. 290 00:20:46,952 --> 00:20:50,268 Well, it looks like mustard to me. 291 00:20:50,521 --> 00:20:52,758 I know, but it's a film. It's a protein... 292 00:20:52,957 --> 00:20:55,739 secreted by a fungus called Aspergillus Ticor. 293 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,942 He told you that? 294 00:20:57,095 --> 00:20:59,942 No, he knew it was a protein but didn't know where it came from. 295 00:21:00,164 --> 00:21:03,197 All he really did was just take some pictures with their equipment. 296 00:21:03,434 --> 00:21:04,710 Guess where we're going. 297 00:21:04,869 --> 00:21:07,138 -Do you know where Will is? -No, why? 298 00:21:07,338 --> 00:21:09,574 The Ariel meeting is pushed back till Wednesday. 299 00:21:09,774 --> 00:21:12,425 I thought he was waiting around for it. Where are you going? 300 00:21:12,642 --> 00:21:14,781 What do they do with engineers when they turn 40? 301 00:21:14,979 --> 00:21:17,280 -What, Bradshaw? -Exactly. You know what? 302 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,262 I do know where Will is. I'll let him know on my way out. 303 00:21:20,483 --> 00:21:22,621 -Okay. Thanks. -Can you meet me out front? 304 00:21:22,819 --> 00:21:25,786 -You got to drive. -Okay, here. Take my keys. 305 00:21:26,022 --> 00:21:30,048 Okay, if you can, just pretend that this is the first time I came in. 306 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,709 And if you would just tell him exactly what you told me.... 307 00:21:34,697 --> 00:21:37,926 -Okay, so what is it? -Protein buildup. 308 00:21:38,167 --> 00:21:41,647 -Okay, can you just tell him? -Protein buildup. 309 00:21:42,304 --> 00:21:44,955 -But what kind? -Some fungus. 310 00:21:45,341 --> 00:21:47,991 -Some fungus. -Where did it come from? 311 00:21:48,276 --> 00:21:51,986 -I don't know. You were to take it to the lab. -Yeah, that's next. 312 00:21:52,248 --> 00:21:54,898 -You were in design, weren't you? -Yeah. 313 00:21:55,383 --> 00:21:56,877 How did you get over here? 314 00:21:57,052 --> 00:22:00,118 Do you know what they do with engineers when they turn 40? 315 00:22:00,555 --> 00:22:02,115 They take them out and shoot them. 316 00:22:02,290 --> 00:22:05,137 What the hell, Abe? You could have just shown me the pictures. 317 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:08,873 -I want you to believe it. -Believe what, the protein? 318 00:22:09,264 --> 00:22:10,857 -I believe you. -Okay, look... 319 00:22:11,031 --> 00:22:14,327 this guy already thinks it's a joke, so he may be a little defensive. 320 00:22:14,568 --> 00:22:16,805 Really? Why would he think that? 321 00:22:29,616 --> 00:22:30,990 Please. 322 00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:34,809 Aspergillus Ticor. 323 00:22:35,489 --> 00:22:37,529 This is a fungus that's everywhere. 324 00:22:38,291 --> 00:22:42,382 It's in our bed, our skin, sometimes even our GI tract. Everywhere. 325 00:22:43,596 --> 00:22:47,786 It's basically the reason you don't leave things in dark, damp, closed-off places. 326 00:22:48,133 --> 00:22:50,784 Thank you. Do you have that sample I brought? 327 00:22:56,175 --> 00:22:59,044 There it is. Terger. T-E-R-G-E-R. 328 00:23:00,378 --> 00:23:03,345 Okay, when I showed you this, tell him what you thought. 329 00:23:06,117 --> 00:23:09,216 -You thought it was a joke, right? -It is a joke. 330 00:23:10,254 --> 00:23:12,196 Right, but how did you know? 331 00:23:15,393 --> 00:23:17,629 Will you show him? Please? 332 00:23:26,837 --> 00:23:30,132 This is how I get protein A out of Aspergillus Ticor. We sweeten it. 333 00:23:30,374 --> 00:23:33,090 We agitate it. We spin it around. We sweeten some more. 334 00:23:33,309 --> 00:23:36,408 -Takes about a month. -To get the same amount I brought in. 335 00:23:37,580 --> 00:23:39,107 To get the same amount I brought in. 336 00:23:39,282 --> 00:23:41,584 So if it's an incubatorforfungus, is that valuable? 337 00:23:41,784 --> 00:23:43,507 -That's not what it is. -Then what is it? 338 00:23:43,686 --> 00:23:46,915 There's another way to secrete that much protein. Do it naturally. 339 00:23:47,155 --> 00:23:49,294 But that takes a lot longer. 340 00:23:49,524 --> 00:23:54,259 If it has a little moisture and it's left alone, it'll start secreting and it'll build up... 341 00:23:54,564 --> 00:23:56,865 -and build up, but it takes a long time. -How long? 342 00:23:57,065 --> 00:23:59,815 -A long time. -More than a few days? Then how long? 343 00:24:00,035 --> 00:24:02,207 To get the same amount of protein that we have... 344 00:24:02,404 --> 00:24:04,608 the amount that I was wiping off every five days... 345 00:24:04,806 --> 00:24:06,911 and five days later it would accumulate... 346 00:24:07,108 --> 00:24:09,661 he says it would take about five to six years. 347 00:24:12,646 --> 00:24:14,108 I don't want to belittle this guy. 348 00:24:14,281 --> 00:24:16,867 So, I said screw it and I put my watch in there. 349 00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:19,558 -And? -I want you to do it. 350 00:24:20,354 --> 00:24:23,071 -Where is it? The box? -I took it back to the shop. 351 00:24:25,259 --> 00:24:28,642 -Wait, digital or old mechanical? -Exactly. I did both. 352 00:24:30,131 --> 00:24:32,432 -And what? -I want you to do it. 353 00:24:35,202 --> 00:24:37,373 We thought that we were degrading gravity, right? 354 00:24:37,571 --> 00:24:39,480 That we were blocking that information. 355 00:24:39,672 --> 00:24:43,153 I think we're doing more than that. I think we're blocking more than that. 356 00:24:43,410 --> 00:24:47,371 When you were controlling the feed, did you notice it was parabolic? 357 00:24:47,814 --> 00:24:50,945 It's important. Parabolas are important. Here, look at this. 358 00:24:52,152 --> 00:24:53,526 I don't know, Abe. 359 00:24:53,686 --> 00:24:56,206 I'm going to start it up and let it run for 60 seconds... 360 00:24:56,423 --> 00:24:58,594 with nothing in it. It's empty this time. 361 00:24:58,792 --> 00:24:59,740 That's 22-- 362 00:24:59,892 --> 00:25:02,510 In all the equations that describe motion and heat and entropy. 363 00:25:02,728 --> 00:25:06,111 In all Feynman diagrams what's the one variable that you can turn negative... 364 00:25:06,365 --> 00:25:08,732 and still get rational answers for? It's not mass. 365 00:25:08,934 --> 00:25:11,617 Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box. 366 00:25:11,837 --> 00:25:15,000 -It's an odd number. -That's 1,347 minutes. 367 00:25:16,842 --> 00:25:20,224 -1,347, man, you got that fast. -How did you know it's odd? 368 00:25:20,478 --> 00:25:24,373 Because this is it. This is what's going on. There's an "A" end and a "B" end. 369 00:25:24,649 --> 00:25:27,497 Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the B end is 12:01. 370 00:25:27,718 --> 00:25:30,500 All right? We start the machine with the Weeble at the A end. 371 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,055 -It travels forward-- -You got to write this down. 372 00:25:33,257 --> 00:25:35,591 -There's nothing to write down. -I'll write it down. 373 00:25:35,793 --> 00:25:37,767 It travels forward normally towards the B end. 374 00:25:37,962 --> 00:25:40,296 When it gets there, the feed runs down parabolically... 375 00:25:40,498 --> 00:25:43,497 until it should stop, but it curves back around towards the A end. 376 00:25:43,733 --> 00:25:46,766 When it gets back to the A end.... Curve that around. The Weeble... 377 00:25:47,003 --> 00:25:50,199 has experienced a total of two minutes, and again it curves-- 378 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,480 -Back around. It curves parabolically. -Right. 379 00:25:52,675 --> 00:25:55,196 It comes back around and it does this about 1,300 times. 380 00:25:55,411 --> 00:25:57,069 When it finally exits on the B end... 381 00:25:57,246 --> 00:25:59,963 it's traveled an odd number of forward and backward trips. 382 00:26:00,183 --> 00:26:03,478 What is so special about 1,300? Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact? 383 00:26:03,719 --> 00:26:05,693 -This is not empirical. -Here, give me that. 384 00:26:05,888 --> 00:26:09,532 I don't know why it's not exact. There's some sort of probability there. 385 00:26:09,792 --> 00:26:12,213 Every time it hits the B end there's a chance... 386 00:26:12,428 --> 00:26:15,210 a small chance it won't curve back around towards the A end. 387 00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:18,976 And for some reason, it takes about 1,300 trips before it finally does. 388 00:26:19,234 --> 00:26:22,398 It does have to exit, or else we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards. 389 00:26:22,637 --> 00:26:24,546 Okay, let's take a look at this. 390 00:26:25,306 --> 00:26:27,509 Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes. 391 00:26:31,646 --> 00:26:34,679 -1,334 minutes. -Even. 392 00:26:37,185 --> 00:26:38,843 Enter at the B end. 393 00:26:40,889 --> 00:26:42,547 Exit at the B end. 394 00:26:45,626 --> 00:26:48,888 -I just want you to see it the way l saw it. -I am trying, okay? 395 00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:51,496 Everything we're putting in that box comes ungrounded. 396 00:26:51,698 --> 00:26:54,348 And I don't mean grounded to the earth, I mean not tethered. 397 00:26:54,568 --> 00:26:57,601 We're blocking whatever keeps it moving forward, so they flip-flop. 398 00:26:57,838 --> 00:27:00,838 Inside the box, it's like a street, and both ends are cul-de-sacs. 399 00:27:01,073 --> 00:27:04,902 This isn't frame dragging or wormhole matching. It's basic mechanics and heat. 400 00:27:05,177 --> 00:27:07,184 This is not mechanics and heat. 401 00:27:11,583 --> 00:27:14,998 -We can publish. -Yeah, we can publish. 402 00:27:15,254 --> 00:27:17,643 No, I mean we can really publish. 403 00:27:18,557 --> 00:27:20,826 Aaron, the Weeble's stupid. It can't move. 404 00:27:21,026 --> 00:27:23,514 Even if we were to put the Weeble in at point B... 405 00:27:23,728 --> 00:27:28,235 it's still going to bounce back and forth until it's kicked out at the B end. 406 00:27:32,037 --> 00:27:33,531 But if it were smart... 407 00:27:35,439 --> 00:27:39,465 it could enter at the B end and exit at the A end before it flips back. 408 00:27:43,647 --> 00:27:47,607 You're talking about making a bigger one. 409 00:27:49,086 --> 00:27:52,282 I didn't say anything. You're the one talking about it. 410 00:27:53,891 --> 00:27:55,385 So, you believe me? 411 00:27:57,528 --> 00:27:58,738 No, I don't. 412 00:27:58,963 --> 00:28:01,232 Come on. Let's go get a drink or something. 413 00:28:06,402 --> 00:28:08,736 -We're going to have to move it. -We will. 414 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,607 We need a box big enough for a person to fit into. As far as turning it on-- 415 00:28:14,744 --> 00:28:17,842 I was testing the box. It turns out over half the rings are redundant. 416 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,396 The inner ring is strong enough on its own, so it makes the plate smaller. 417 00:28:21,651 --> 00:28:23,658 A lot more is unnecessary. What we can do... 418 00:28:23,852 --> 00:28:27,976 is take a lot of these small plates and surround a container with a web of them. 419 00:28:29,424 --> 00:28:30,634 How small? 420 00:28:30,925 --> 00:28:34,820 It should be accumulative so a lot of mini-fields equal one big one, right? 421 00:28:35,697 --> 00:28:37,584 Yeah, sum of series, that makes sense. 422 00:28:37,766 --> 00:28:41,061 What I was going to say is we need to find a place where we can put it... 423 00:28:41,302 --> 00:28:43,090 and turn it on and it won't be disturbed. 424 00:28:43,270 --> 00:28:45,277 We could just lock it in a closet. 425 00:28:45,773 --> 00:28:49,351 Someplace where someone's not going to go poking around and messing with it. 426 00:28:49,610 --> 00:28:51,203 And climate-controlled. 427 00:28:51,912 --> 00:28:54,214 Yeah, so whatever, we'll find some place. 428 00:28:54,681 --> 00:28:57,496 So, if we go your route with what? A bunch of mini-fields? 429 00:28:57,718 --> 00:29:01,296 That's a lot of work. We'd have to.... I mean, how many days is that? 430 00:29:02,889 --> 00:29:05,955 Abe, you know what we could use? 431 00:29:07,093 --> 00:29:10,388 I know we've seen a lot of crazy things lately, okay? 432 00:29:10,630 --> 00:29:14,404 I know you're still trying to put it all together in a way that makes sense. 433 00:29:14,668 --> 00:29:18,116 Look, I just want you to understand that what's next is not a prank, okay? 434 00:29:18,370 --> 00:29:21,021 I wouldn't do that to you and I'm not doing that to you. 435 00:29:21,241 --> 00:29:25,463 So when you see this, you can't yell or make any noise or run anywhere. 436 00:29:26,278 --> 00:29:30,075 I know you probably feel like you're being tricked or made fun of. But you're not. 437 00:29:30,349 --> 00:29:33,099 I promise you, you're not. Okay? 438 00:29:59,609 --> 00:30:00,918 Who was that, Abe? 439 00:30:25,835 --> 00:30:27,974 Let's just wait. Six minutes. 440 00:31:28,927 --> 00:31:31,000 Look, you sure you're okay to drive? 441 00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:37,253 What did you do all day? The first time through? 442 00:31:40,539 --> 00:31:43,223 I spent the day in a hotel room in Russellfield. 443 00:31:45,177 --> 00:31:48,276 -I'll just meet you back at the shop. -I wonder what I did. 444 00:31:50,448 --> 00:31:53,350 -I guess I went back to work. -Yeah, probably. 445 00:31:53,585 --> 00:31:55,439 Probably just worked, I guess. 446 00:31:56,288 --> 00:31:58,492 Yeah, probably so. 447 00:32:02,893 --> 00:32:05,314 Look, now that I know about this, Abe... 448 00:32:06,030 --> 00:32:08,747 don't do this again, okay? Not where it affects me. 449 00:32:13,504 --> 00:32:14,965 Go ahead. 450 00:32:20,643 --> 00:32:22,017 Hey, Rachel. 451 00:33:04,419 --> 00:33:06,011 Why not the lottery? 452 00:33:06,454 --> 00:33:09,072 We can if you want, but it's not until Saturday. 453 00:33:09,290 --> 00:33:13,632 And even if we win the full $10 million, that's only $200,000 for the next 30 years. 454 00:33:14,795 --> 00:33:17,545 -And that's just one good trade. -A couple days like this. 455 00:33:17,764 --> 00:33:21,026 -I was just running a test. In and out. -I want to do what you did. 456 00:33:21,269 --> 00:33:22,610 Exactly what you did. 457 00:33:22,769 --> 00:33:25,551 -The first thing I did is call in sick. -Okay, I did that. 458 00:33:25,772 --> 00:33:29,481 -Then I drove to the storage facility. -But I need to drop Lauren at school first. 459 00:33:29,743 --> 00:33:32,231 Then meet me there. We're going to need both cars. 460 00:33:32,444 --> 00:33:35,412 We need to park yours down the road, out of sight of the facility. 461 00:33:35,649 --> 00:33:38,431 -Why are we doing that? -Because we need a ride home. 462 00:33:38,651 --> 00:33:40,145 -What is that.... -It'll make sense. 463 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,425 Okay, I'll be patient. 464 00:33:42,621 --> 00:33:45,970 When I got to the storage room, I flooded the box with argon... 465 00:33:46,226 --> 00:33:49,804 and I had to tighten it up to secure the leaks. 466 00:33:50,429 --> 00:33:52,851 -There's leaks? -There's always leaks. 467 00:33:56,802 --> 00:34:01,209 At 8:30 a.m., I set the timer for 15 minutes... 468 00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:04,768 I jumped in the car, and drove to Russellfield. 469 00:34:05,109 --> 00:34:06,222 Okay, I lost it. 470 00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:08,930 -What? -Why the timer? 471 00:34:09,414 --> 00:34:13,123 Because the moment we start those machines is the moment we'll end up... 472 00:34:13,384 --> 00:34:16,002 -getting out of them, and-- -Right. Got it. Sorry. 473 00:34:16,220 --> 00:34:18,805 I don't want to be standing around when they do. 474 00:34:19,958 --> 00:34:24,180 While I was on the road at 8:45, the machine kicked on by itself... 475 00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:28,395 and by 8:49, it was completely warmed up. 476 00:34:36,305 --> 00:34:40,713 In Russellfield, I got a hotel room and tried to isolate myself. 477 00:34:41,611 --> 00:34:43,302 Wait, what do you mean "isolate"? 478 00:34:43,479 --> 00:34:46,065 I closed the windows, I unplugged everything in the room... 479 00:34:46,282 --> 00:34:48,170 the telephone, TV, clock, radio, everything. 480 00:34:48,351 --> 00:34:51,221 I didn't want to take the chance of running into someone I knew... 481 00:34:51,454 --> 00:34:53,342 or seeing something on the news that might.... 482 00:34:53,521 --> 00:34:57,263 If we're dealing with causality, and I don't even know for sure. 483 00:34:57,525 --> 00:34:59,630 -I just.... -What? 484 00:35:00,129 --> 00:35:03,162 -Took myself out of the equation. -Err on the side of caution. 485 00:35:03,399 --> 00:35:04,446 Yes. 486 00:35:06,001 --> 00:35:08,041 Then what did you do all day? 487 00:35:11,205 --> 00:35:14,718 -I just sat there. I had some books, but.... -What? Were you nervous? 488 00:35:14,976 --> 00:35:17,976 Yeah. It's mind-numbing, all the second-guessing. 489 00:35:23,051 --> 00:35:24,425 "Evacipate." 490 00:35:29,623 --> 00:35:33,006 At 3:30 p.m., I stopped by Williams Medical Supply. 491 00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:35,267 Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask. 492 00:35:35,462 --> 00:35:38,975 I called my mutual fund company and asked which stock in their mid-cap fund... 493 00:35:39,232 --> 00:35:41,054 had the greatest percentage gain that day. 494 00:35:41,234 --> 00:35:44,082 The idea was just to get enough information for one good trade. 495 00:35:44,303 --> 00:35:46,889 Can we just download chart data and trade on each movement? 496 00:35:47,107 --> 00:35:51,362 But if we do that, I want to use the library in Russellfield, use their computers. 497 00:36:05,590 --> 00:36:09,583 So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15 and cut off the power to the box. 498 00:36:10,662 --> 00:36:13,411 It cycled down to a tolerable level at about 3:19. 499 00:36:13,697 --> 00:36:16,632 The trick is to get in after it reaches a comfortable level... 500 00:36:16,867 --> 00:36:20,031 but before it shuts off completely. There's a window there. 501 00:36:20,337 --> 00:36:22,192 So, does it hurt? 502 00:36:23,707 --> 00:36:25,332 Yeah, it does a little. 503 00:36:25,776 --> 00:36:29,256 It's not bad if you wait for the right time. It's like a small static shock. 504 00:36:29,513 --> 00:36:31,968 -Once you're in, you're fine, though. -What? 505 00:36:32,416 --> 00:36:35,482 I know you've done it, and I can only assume that you don't have... 506 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,606 cancer or male impotence. 507 00:36:37,788 --> 00:36:40,373 But what is your opinion on how safe this thing is? 508 00:36:40,591 --> 00:36:42,860 I can imagine no way in which this thing would be... 509 00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:45,099 considered anywhere remotely close to safe. 510 00:36:45,295 --> 00:36:48,644 All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive. 511 00:36:51,401 --> 00:36:53,223 You still want to do it? 512 00:37:10,219 --> 00:37:12,870 I set the alarm on my stopwatch for six hours. 513 00:37:13,087 --> 00:37:17,016 I regulated the O2 tank, took some Dramamine, and tried to sleep. 514 00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:19,070 Did you? 515 00:37:19,394 --> 00:37:21,216 -What? -Did you sleep? 516 00:37:21,796 --> 00:37:25,571 Not at first. I've never considered myself claustrophobic... 517 00:37:25,833 --> 00:37:29,794 but I started sweating and I couldn't find the right flow rate on the tank... 518 00:37:30,438 --> 00:37:34,333 and I was breathing differently than I was when I was testing it on the outside. 519 00:37:34,609 --> 00:37:36,911 Eventually, I settled down, and... 520 00:37:37,378 --> 00:37:41,174 I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine kicking in, but I remember this moment... 521 00:37:41,449 --> 00:37:44,132 in the dark with the reverberation of the machine. 522 00:37:44,819 --> 00:37:47,666 It was maybe the most content I've ever been. 523 00:37:50,524 --> 00:37:52,793 I woke up on my own without the alarm... 524 00:37:52,992 --> 00:37:56,341 and waited for the machine to cool down. Cool down from my perspective. 525 00:37:56,596 --> 00:37:59,345 It got to a point where it sounded safe to get out... 526 00:37:59,566 --> 00:38:02,021 but the stopwatch still showed a couple minutes... 527 00:38:02,234 --> 00:38:04,503 so I trusted the math and waited. 528 00:38:40,772 --> 00:38:44,317 That's not a static shock, Abe. Okay, please stop it. 529 00:38:50,747 --> 00:38:52,405 You got out too soon. 530 00:38:53,917 --> 00:38:57,778 You have to wait for the stopwatch so that you know the gain is low enough. 531 00:38:58,355 --> 00:38:59,980 So, we're back here? 532 00:39:00,489 --> 00:39:03,904 Yeah, we're here. It's 8:50, Tuesday morning. 533 00:39:08,164 --> 00:39:10,139 All right. Give me a few minutes. 534 00:39:13,302 --> 00:39:16,684 From there it was easy. The bulk of the work was done. 535 00:39:16,939 --> 00:39:20,135 I just left everything the way I found it. I left the machine alone... 536 00:39:20,376 --> 00:39:23,223 and didn't turn it off, and just cleared out of there. 537 00:39:23,445 --> 00:39:27,700 So your double would find everything the same later that day and get in the box? 538 00:39:27,983 --> 00:39:32,325 Right, but also, I or my double or someone was in the box coming backwards. 539 00:39:32,621 --> 00:39:35,719 So who knows what that would've done if I'd turned the machine off. 540 00:39:35,957 --> 00:39:38,346 Definitely. So, they're one-time use only. 541 00:39:38,559 --> 00:39:42,782 So then, at that moment, since my double was on the way to the hotel in my car... 542 00:39:43,064 --> 00:39:46,926 I had to take a taxi home. But when we go, we'll be able to use your truck. 543 00:40:07,454 --> 00:40:10,967 -You have a margin account, right? -Yeah. I do now. What are we buying? 544 00:40:11,224 --> 00:40:14,966 Good. Today, before 12:30, we'll buy as many shares as we can of RGWU. 545 00:40:17,195 --> 00:40:20,741 They'll say their earnings that quarter are three and a half times consensus... 546 00:40:20,999 --> 00:40:23,869 and the stock will nearly double in afternoon trading. 547 00:40:25,904 --> 00:40:27,944 -What do they do? -What do you mean? 548 00:40:28,173 --> 00:40:30,344 What does this company do? Do they make things or-- 549 00:40:30,542 --> 00:40:33,030 I don't know. All that matters is the price goes up. 550 00:40:33,245 --> 00:40:37,752 The volume is so high that the number of shares we trade won't affect the price. 551 00:40:40,685 --> 00:40:42,725 You really don't know what they do? 552 00:40:48,392 --> 00:40:52,036 That's why you spoke about a mid-cap fund, so volume is high enough to hide us. 553 00:40:52,296 --> 00:40:54,303 -Do you think it's too cautious? -I don't know. 554 00:40:54,498 --> 00:40:56,603 I know there's a lot of other stocks out there... 555 00:40:56,801 --> 00:40:59,866 that do a lot more than double, but this is my first day. 556 00:41:37,638 --> 00:41:39,394 -My God. -She's not going to answer. 557 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,266 I know, Abe. That's the question. 558 00:41:42,478 --> 00:41:46,307 I know, so what's the answer? You've got the $400 billion... 559 00:41:46,582 --> 00:41:50,029 you've gone the charity route, you have this perfect 100-room mansion... 560 00:41:50,284 --> 00:41:52,553 with matching his and her yachts and helicopter pads. 561 00:41:52,754 --> 00:41:55,601 Basically, you have absolute impunity to do whatever you want... 562 00:41:55,823 --> 00:41:56,771 nobody can touch you. 563 00:41:56,924 --> 00:41:58,898 -You're back from a two-year-- -Above the law. 564 00:41:59,093 --> 00:42:03,762 Absolutely, well above. You're fresh back from this two-year world-galloping vacation. 565 00:42:04,065 --> 00:42:06,039 How do you fill your day? What do you do? 566 00:42:06,233 --> 00:42:10,389 Abe, I know that's the question, but it's not a real question, so why does it matter? 567 00:42:10,670 --> 00:42:12,012 So what's the answer? 568 00:42:12,172 --> 00:42:15,849 Babe, he knows that's the question, okay? He's asking you the question. 569 00:42:16,410 --> 00:42:19,825 What do you mean? What would I do with my life or what would I do tomorrow? 570 00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:21,289 My God, either. 571 00:42:23,048 --> 00:42:26,878 I'd have to do something constructive. I'd have to do something that would help... 572 00:42:27,153 --> 00:42:30,666 -something that would make me feel good. -I know. That's fantastic. Good. 573 00:42:30,923 --> 00:42:35,592 -My wife. So good. So pure. You are pure. -Shut up. Why did you ask, then? 574 00:42:36,027 --> 00:42:40,053 This is what I would do: I would wake up tomorrow morning... 575 00:42:40,332 --> 00:42:42,666 and I'd go over to Gabriel Capital Inc... 576 00:42:42,868 --> 00:42:46,480 and I would tell Joseph Platts' receptionist that I'm there to see him... 577 00:42:46,738 --> 00:42:48,364 and when he comes out... 578 00:42:49,941 --> 00:42:52,658 I would ram my fist through the flat of his nose. 579 00:42:53,745 --> 00:42:57,574 Just one good punch, one good pow. 580 00:42:59,284 --> 00:43:02,350 -That's amazing. It's about time. -That is so great. 581 00:43:02,586 --> 00:43:05,172 Where did this come from? You're always defending the guy. 582 00:43:05,390 --> 00:43:07,845 -It's unnatural. -I'd only do it if I knew that... 583 00:43:08,058 --> 00:43:09,716 no one would find out or get hurt. 584 00:43:09,893 --> 00:43:13,122 Like, I wish that there was a way that I could do it... 585 00:43:13,363 --> 00:43:15,119 and then I go back and tell myself not to. 586 00:43:15,299 --> 00:43:18,266 Because I just want to know what it feels like. That's all, really. 587 00:43:18,502 --> 00:43:19,647 I'm so proud. 588 00:43:20,070 --> 00:43:23,452 Finally, my husband, the hero. 589 00:43:29,846 --> 00:43:32,912 -We can't do that. -I know. 590 00:43:33,416 --> 00:43:35,041 Did you call pest control? 591 00:43:35,918 --> 00:43:39,595 Babe, they're birds. You don't want a bunch of dead baby birds up there, do you? 592 00:43:39,856 --> 00:43:43,717 -They don't sound like birds. -She thinks there are rats in the attic. 593 00:43:44,893 --> 00:43:46,802 But the idea had been spoken... 594 00:43:46,996 --> 00:43:49,996 and the words wouldn't go back after they had been uttered aloud. 595 00:43:50,232 --> 00:43:51,759 So you are understanding this, right? 596 00:43:51,933 --> 00:43:54,355 You don't have to sell me on not doing this, okay? 597 00:43:54,569 --> 00:43:57,471 -I don't think I told you-- -Even if you do stop yourself... 598 00:43:57,706 --> 00:44:01,121 your double, from hitting Platts, why would he, your double, get in the box? 599 00:44:01,375 --> 00:44:04,691 And with no need for it, no possible real-world application... 600 00:44:05,146 --> 00:44:08,462 no advantage at all to be gained from it, the idea stayed. 601 00:44:09,250 --> 00:44:12,567 -How would you do it? -I wouldn't. 602 00:44:13,153 --> 00:44:15,542 -Just for fun. -I still wouldn't. 603 00:44:15,756 --> 00:44:18,472 -But what if there was a way to-- -Look, Abe, look. 604 00:44:19,058 --> 00:44:22,058 I'm not going to pretend like I know anything about paradoxes... 605 00:44:22,296 --> 00:44:25,557 or what follows them, and honestly, I really don't believe in that crap. 606 00:44:25,798 --> 00:44:29,442 Kill your mom before you were born, whatever. It has to work itself out somehow. 607 00:44:29,702 --> 00:44:31,742 -I don't know. -This is what I know for sure. 608 00:44:31,938 --> 00:44:35,833 The worst thing in the world is to know that the moment you are experiencing... 609 00:44:36,109 --> 00:44:38,792 has already been defined, that this is the second... 610 00:44:39,012 --> 00:44:42,754 or third time through, or whatever. And do you ever feel like.... 611 00:44:43,982 --> 00:44:47,594 I don't know, maybe things aren't right, like maybe your life is in disarray... 612 00:44:47,854 --> 00:44:51,847 or just not what you would like and you start to wonder what caused this. 613 00:44:53,225 --> 00:44:55,265 People are always blaming their parents... 614 00:44:55,460 --> 00:44:58,624 as if, if their mom had breastfed them, their lives would be different. 615 00:44:58,863 --> 00:44:59,976 Bunch of whiners. 616 00:45:00,131 --> 00:45:03,165 Yeah, they are. But what if it wasn't something you wonder about? 617 00:45:03,401 --> 00:45:06,271 What if you knew this is not the way things are supposed to be? 618 00:45:06,504 --> 00:45:10,465 I'm not like that. I'm not into the whole "destiny, there's-only-one-right-way" thing. 619 00:45:10,741 --> 00:45:12,563 I'm not, either. But what's worse? 620 00:45:12,743 --> 00:45:15,710 Thinking you're being paranoid or knowing you should be? 621 00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,403 You don't have to look at me like that. I'm okay. 622 00:45:30,694 --> 00:45:33,378 No, I just assumed that you would. I trust her. 623 00:45:33,597 --> 00:45:37,241 -I know that when I decided to tell you-- -Decided to tell? 624 00:45:37,766 --> 00:45:42,403 I knew that you are married and that there's no secrets. Anything I tell you, she'll know. 625 00:45:42,706 --> 00:45:44,167 -It's not a matter of trust. -I know. 626 00:45:44,341 --> 00:45:46,861 It's just how much better will it be if in a few days... 627 00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:50,393 I surprise her and we all just fly to Costa Rica or somewhere for a month? 628 00:45:50,646 --> 00:45:54,029 We'll let her understand it gradually. Maybe do some real estate shopping-- 629 00:45:54,283 --> 00:45:57,065 For now, you can tell her you had a good day in the market. 630 00:45:57,286 --> 00:45:58,301 -You don't understand. -No. 631 00:45:58,454 --> 00:46:00,821 You don't understand the questions that come with that. 632 00:46:01,023 --> 00:46:03,444 But we'll explain it to her, and we'll take some time... 633 00:46:03,659 --> 00:46:04,804 to figure out what's next... 634 00:46:04,959 --> 00:46:08,374 which, I think, should be building a bigger box, like the size of a room... 635 00:46:08,630 --> 00:46:10,386 where more than one person could fit in. 636 00:46:10,566 --> 00:46:13,565 Safe or not, the thing feels like a coffin the way it is. 637 00:46:14,435 --> 00:46:16,126 By the way, this is our guy. 638 00:46:17,305 --> 00:46:20,917 -What's the volume? -Five-and-a-half. 639 00:46:21,676 --> 00:46:24,196 What's the return? Holy.... 640 00:46:27,148 --> 00:46:31,239 No, I can't beat that. But mainly, I guess I was just talking about Robert and Phillip. 641 00:46:31,519 --> 00:46:32,664 I don't want to tell them. 642 00:46:32,819 --> 00:46:34,990 I know they have a lot invested in the group-- 643 00:46:35,188 --> 00:46:36,497 I don't want to tell them. 644 00:46:37,124 --> 00:46:39,774 If you need me to take the guilt on this one, fine, okay? 645 00:46:39,993 --> 00:46:41,684 I accept it gladly. It's mine. 646 00:46:41,862 --> 00:46:44,414 At the end of this week, they can have whatever they want. 647 00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:47,761 I'll turn over patent rights on everything from the last two years. 648 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,269 They can have the equipment, the garage, the house. 649 00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:53,219 They can have my truck if that makes you feel better. 650 00:46:53,439 --> 00:46:56,406 But I am not telling them a thing about this. We're not. 651 00:47:11,323 --> 00:47:13,461 God, everything is so different in there. 652 00:47:13,658 --> 00:47:15,632 You can feel how cut off you are. 653 00:47:16,061 --> 00:47:18,909 It's this entirely separate world and you encompass most of it. 654 00:47:19,130 --> 00:47:22,446 And the sound. Isn't the sound different on the inside? 655 00:47:22,766 --> 00:47:25,963 It's like it's singing. I guess you can't hear it on the outside-- 656 00:47:26,204 --> 00:47:29,586 -I had this dream in there. -About what? 657 00:47:31,608 --> 00:47:36,081 I was on or near the ocean, and I just kept hearing the surf. 658 00:47:36,780 --> 00:47:38,209 It was so uneventful. 659 00:47:39,083 --> 00:47:41,930 At night. And the tide kept coming in and out. 660 00:47:54,831 --> 00:47:57,482 Come here for a second, man. What's on your hand? 661 00:47:58,167 --> 00:47:59,890 -Are you bleeding? -That is blood. 662 00:48:00,069 --> 00:48:01,563 -Turn around. -You see it? 663 00:48:01,738 --> 00:48:04,039 Where is it coming from? It's your notebook. 664 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,206 -It's you. My gosh, it's on your ear. -What is this? 665 00:48:07,676 --> 00:48:10,840 -Your ear's bleeding. Man. -Give me that. I got it. 666 00:48:14,583 --> 00:48:17,398 -Is that normal? This isn't normal. -For the machine? 667 00:48:18,353 --> 00:48:21,549 for people. You think it's the machine? I got it. 668 00:48:39,740 --> 00:48:41,714 Great. I can actually get some work done today. 669 00:48:41,909 --> 00:48:43,218 Hi, guys, what's going on? 670 00:48:43,377 --> 00:48:46,093 I always seem to get a lot more done when I'm not locked out. 671 00:48:46,312 --> 00:48:47,686 He says they had to spray again. 672 00:48:47,847 --> 00:48:50,695 But he can't tell us about it in advance. Is Hero even here? 673 00:48:50,917 --> 00:48:53,154 You never see anything around here but those geckos. 674 00:48:53,354 --> 00:48:54,914 -I know. -I think it's for the geckos. 675 00:48:55,088 --> 00:48:56,397 -What? -Why? 676 00:48:56,622 --> 00:48:59,721 -Hey, man, thanks for the present. -How is that working out for you? 677 00:48:59,959 --> 00:49:03,537 You know what? You guys, both of you, you make fun, but there is a difference. 678 00:49:03,796 --> 00:49:05,007 Wait. What did you call him? 679 00:49:05,164 --> 00:49:07,139 -What? -When you walked in? What did you say? 680 00:49:07,332 --> 00:49:08,739 -He didn't tell you about it? -No. 681 00:49:08,901 --> 00:49:12,862 All right. Rachel's ex-boyfriend walks into my birthday party with a shotgun. 682 00:49:13,138 --> 00:49:14,513 -What? -Swear to God. 683 00:49:14,673 --> 00:49:16,397 I've already gotten that speech from Kara. 684 00:49:16,574 --> 00:49:18,843 -Filby! -You'll get it. You have a wife and kid. 685 00:49:19,044 --> 00:49:22,208 It's funny how you two are the only people that have a problem with it. 686 00:49:22,447 --> 00:49:24,814 -Everybody else thinks I did a good thing. -You didn't. 687 00:49:25,016 --> 00:49:28,278 You can't risk your life and especially the welfare of Kara and Lauren... 688 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:29,502 for someone like Rachel. 689 00:49:29,654 --> 00:49:31,629 She practically begs for this to happen to her. 690 00:49:31,823 --> 00:49:33,350 I figured at least you'd understand. 691 00:49:33,525 --> 00:49:35,412 Understand what? You've never been like this. 692 00:49:35,593 --> 00:49:39,138 That's what I mean. You see how different things are now. 693 00:49:39,964 --> 00:49:42,036 Different? How are things different? 694 00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:45,616 You see it, okay? I know you do. 695 00:49:48,371 --> 00:49:50,062 Look, that was the night... 696 00:49:50,842 --> 00:49:52,751 you had told me everything about the machine. 697 00:49:52,943 --> 00:49:56,489 Everything you showed me was so fresh in my head and when I saw this guy... 698 00:49:56,746 --> 00:49:59,201 I'm looking at him.
