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