00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:33,830
Seven.
7
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:45,350
I bought this house in preparation for marriage.
8
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120
I thought she'd actually start a family with me.
9
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,892

10
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,620
She was like a star in the sky, which was far, far away from you.

Even the light it shed on you felt cold.
12
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:16,192
This afternoon, after you left,
13
00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:19,910
people from the Battle Command Center talked to me in private.
14
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:22,830
They wanted me to join the Frontiers of Science.
15
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:28,430
Well, you didn't agree, right?
16
00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:29,900
No.
17
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:32,130
Right!

00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:33,630
Your choice's quite right!

Let me tell you something. They're just a bunch of arrogant idiots!
20
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040
They seem to have done some digging.
21
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,094
Yeah. Worldwide digging.
22
00:02:47,094 --> 00:02:52,420
So they should know that there are two people that have nothing to do with the Frontiers of Science at all.

26
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,700
Dr. Ding,
27
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:44,527
why did Yang Dong make a choice like that?
28
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,529
Because physics doesn't exist anymore.
29
00:04:49,529 --> 00:04:52,150
If physics didn't exist anymore,
30
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:56,950
and you release your hold right now, this book would fly into the sky instead of falling to the floor.
31
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,300
You're right.
32
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,690
If physics didn't exist anymore, Schrodinger wouldn't have been on the floor.
33
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:10,950
He would've been… in the sky.
34
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:14,750
So, Einstein wouldn't have been on the floor either.
35
00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:17,250
Newton wouldn't have been on the floor either.
36
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:21,000
None of these people would've been on the floor.
37
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,620
They would've all been floating in the sky.
38
00:05:29,070 --> 00:05:31,110
They're all on the floor now.
39
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:33,060
Do you know how to play this?
40
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:34,890
A little.
41
00:05:34,890 --> 00:05:37,664
Yang Dong and I loved it
42
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,072
because it reminded us of the collision in a particle collider.
43
00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:47,710
Help me clean this.
44
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,430
You may toss them wherever you want. It's okay.
45
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:57,290
No need. It's okay. You don't have to stack them up.
46
00:05:57,290 --> 00:05:59,578
Just toss them away.
47
00:06:23,170 --> 00:06:25,210
Can you hit it into the hole?
48
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:28,470
I think any normal person can do it.
49
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,968
Let's rotate it 90 degrees.
50
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,800
All right.
51
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,740
Okay. This will do.
52
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Dr. Ding, what are we doing?
53
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,060
Do it again.
54
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:53,750
Okay, now the experiments are over. Let's analyze the results.
55
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:57,040
We conducted five collision experiments in total, right?
56
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,570
The first four took place in different positions at different times,
57
00:08:00,570 --> 00:08:04,780
and the fifth one happened in the same position as the first one, but at a different time,
58
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:08,010
so you're not surprised by this outcome, right?
59
00:08:08,730 --> 00:08:11,630
All five collision experiments generated the same result.
60
00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:13,450
What do you mean?
61
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:22,596
I… I'd like you to explain this outcome with the language of physics.
62
00:08:22,596 --> 00:08:24,874
Language of physics.
63
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:38,150
In the five previous experiments, there was no change whatsoever in the mass of the two balls.
64
00:08:38,150 --> 00:08:42,960
Their relative positions, if using the pool table as a reference frame, never changed either.
65
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,230
The velocity vector at which the white ball hit the black one hardly changed,
66
00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:51,370
which caused the momentum exchange generated by the collision between the balls to remain unchanged as well.
67
00:08:51,370 --> 00:08:54,700
That's the reason the black ball went into the hole every time it got hit.
68
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:58,078
So now you've discovered a great law.
69
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,869
the laws of physics are even in terms of time and space.
70
00:09:01,869 --> 00:09:04,650
From the start of human history until now, all the discoveries made in the field of physics,
71
00:09:04,650 --> 00:09:10,460
such as Archimedes' principle, the string theory, every single one of those things is based on this law.
72
00:09:10,460 --> 00:09:12,200
You know what I mean?
73
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,400
I understand your words, but I don't know what you're trying to convey.
74
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,228
Do you dare to imagine...
75
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,624
another result?
76
00:09:25,510 --> 00:09:29,722
In the first experiment, the black ball was hit into the hole.
77
00:09:29,722 --> 00:09:34,408
In the second one, well, the black ball went off track.
78
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,804
In the third one, the black ball flew into mid-air.
79
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:48,110
In the fourth one, the black ball, like a scared sparrow, flew around in the room.
80
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,030
And then in the fifth one, at nearly the speed of light, it flew off this table,
81
00:09:56,030 --> 00:10:00,620
penetrated through the wall, broke free from Earth's gravity, and shot straight out of the solar system.
82
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,440
Just like what Asimov depicts in his sci-fi novels.
83
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,328
If the results of the experiments were like that,
84
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,650
what… what would you think?
85
00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:36,390
You and Yang Dong both liked playing pool...
86
00:10:41,270 --> 00:10:45,766
because it reminded you of the collision in a particle collider.
87
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400
So this kind of thing really did happen?
88
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,598
In Yang Dong's lab?
89
00:10:54,030 --> 00:10:56,930
The first data, recorded at 9:07.
90
00:10:56,930 --> 00:10:59,796
The second data, recorded at 10:22.
91
00:10:59,796 --> 00:11:01,790
The third data, recorded at 10:50.
92
00:11:01,790 --> 00:11:03,990
They're all inconsistent.
93
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:06,960
They're also inconsistent with the calculation results.
94
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,180
The experiment failed.
95
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,440
It happened.
96
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:15,240
But that was always part of the experiment.
97
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,000
In terms of experiment, that was quite normal.
98
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,140
Yeah. In terms of experiments, abnormal data is a normal thing, right?
99
00:11:20,140 --> 00:11:21,220
But this time, things are different.
100
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:22,790
Let's get back to pool.
101
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:26,630
Uh, if in the fourth experiment, the black ball flew all around like a sparrow,
102
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:29,111
and in the fifth one it flew out of the solar system,
103
00:11:29,111 --> 00:11:34,140
if I need you to verify that kind of results, would you be able to do it with deduction?
104
00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:37,040
I specialize in applied physics, so I don't know much about this kind of stuff,
105
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,990
but I think that's very unlikely.
106
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:45,170
These are the faxes you sent to the victim.
107
00:11:48,510 --> 00:11:50,718

118
00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:18,360
It couldn't have been nine.
119
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,260
Impossible.
120
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:22,840
The data, which was the same as Yang Dong's,
121
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,260
had been delivered to Professor Munphy while her experiment was still ongoing.
122
00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:29,120
No way.
123
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,650
According to our known knowledge of physics, that's absolutely impossible.
124
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:38,440
We think it's impossible, because right now we still believe in physics.
125
00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:41,650
Yang Dong expounded and proved it.
126
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:46,378
I don't know either.
127
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,720
I want to find out as well.
128
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,960
If this is true, then… the evenness of time and space
129
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,876
that laws of physics are based on will be
130
00:12:54,876 --> 00:12:57,790
non-existent, which means…
131
00:12:57,790 --> 00:13:00,620
Which means physics doesn't exist anymore.
132
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:10,440
This will be a catastrophe for the research of cutting-edge theory.
133
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:17,150
So, to make an achievement in theoretical physics, you need an unswerving religious belief.
134
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,330
That's why there are people believing the hypothesis about the shooter and the farmer.
135
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:29,550
The shooter and the farmer.
136
00:13:29,550 --> 00:13:32,150
That's the theory of the Frontiers of Science.
137
00:13:33,390 --> 00:13:36,080
Yeah. Anyway, those theories which cannot be proved right
138
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,970
and cannot be proved wrong either are actually, to put it bluntly…
139
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,780
You know, they give people hope.
140
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,224
But sometimes this kind of hope might drive people
141
00:13:49,630 --> 00:13:52,506
to their doom.
142
00:13:55,790 --> 00:13:58,194

143

I was about to win her heart.
144
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,079
Maybe, if you accept my proposal, the experiment will go well.
145

The experiment failed.
146
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:12,210
Then do some extra ones.

I still can't fully accept your theory... though it sounds fascinating.
177
00:18:00,250 --> 00:18:07,099
Anything, when you begin to doubt it and want to break through it, becomes the most fascinating.
178
00:18:07,099 --> 00:18:09,680
That's why our organization is named Frontiers of Science.
179
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,780
In this area, owning such a large manor house, the owner must be no ordinary person.
180
00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:17,070
This is a private residence of one of our members.
181
00:18:17,070 --> 00:18:20,358
It was offered to us for communication.
182
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,700
Professor Wang?
183
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:47,170
Professor Wang?
184
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:54,350
That member specializes in quantum entanglement, right?
185
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:56,150
Yeah.
186
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:08,940
Welcome, friends visiting the Frontiers of Science for the first time.
187
00:19:14,170 --> 00:19:17,474
And welcome back, Professor Wang Miao.
188
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,830
Professor Wang participated in some of our previous discussions.
189
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:31,540
So, next, I'd like you to tell everybody what our research is about.
[ Frontiers of Science ]
190
00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:35,196
I think it's the shooter hypothesis and the farmer hypothesis.
191
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:43,050
Assuming that a marksman leaves bullet holes on a target at intervals of 10 centimeters,
192
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:48,400
then suppose that on this target resides a kind of two-dimensional intelligent species.
193
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:59,010
Their scientists, after observing their universe, discovered a great law.
194
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,980
Each time they travel 10 centimeters, they're guaranteed to find a hole.
195
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:16,710
They mistake what the shooter did on a whim as an unchanging law of their universe.
196
00:20:21,580 --> 00:20:23,550
In the eyes of those two-dimensional creatures,
197
00:20:23,550 --> 00:20:28,930
the holes made at intervals of 10 centimeters might be the greatest wonder in their world.
198
00:20:28,930 --> 00:20:31,300
Maybe they're planning on adventuring.
199
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:32,820
Maybe they're even researching surveying equipment,
200
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:37,640
trying to find out which material can help them explore in a more efficient and safer way.
201
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Maybe it's nano-material.
202
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,300
There's also a farmer hypothesis.
203
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,846
There is a flock of turkeys on a farm.
204
00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:53,362
Every day the farmer feeds them at 11 AM.
205
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,789
One of the turkeys, a scientist, observes the phenomenon.
206
00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:03,942
It observes for almost a year, and there hasn't been any exceptions,
207
00:21:03,942 --> 00:21:09,069
so it also announces a great law of their universe.
208
00:21:09,070 --> 00:21:13,714
Food arrives at 11 AM every day.
209
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,012
One day, when it's 11 o'clock, the farmer shows up again,
210
00:21:19,012 --> 00:21:22,558
but it's Thanksgiving Day.
211
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,596
Food doesn't come.
212
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,400
The farmer walks inside,
213
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:37,450
takes them all and slaughters them.
214
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,016
We might be like the two-dimensional scientist on that target...
215
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,420
or the turkey scientist on the farm.
216
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:54,199
If, in this world, there is indeed a kind of supernatural power,
217
00:21:54,199 --> 00:21:55,600
the shooter,
218
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,550
then the regularity that the shooter knows is the truth.
219
00:21:59,550 --> 00:22:03,680
Newton's classical mechanics is totally useless in the micro-world,
220
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,450
and Einstein's theory of relativity, when applied to the quantum world, raises even more problems.
221
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,536
If science has frontiers,
222
00:22:12,536 --> 00:22:16,479
then what we're about to touch is very likely to be the frontier.
223
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,590
The "truth" that those two-dimensional creatures find is not the truth,
224
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:24,030
because in their world, they can never find the truth.
225
00:22:24,030 --> 00:22:26,090
Their science...
226
00:22:27,310 --> 00:22:29,210
has frontiers.
227
00:22:29,930 --> 00:22:32,210
Then what's beyond the frontiers?
228
00:22:32,210 --> 00:22:35,260
What regularities do the shooter and the farmer know?
229
00:22:35,260 --> 00:22:39,688
Personally, this is not just science.
230
00:22:39,688 --> 00:22:42,108
It's more like a ritual.
231
00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:47,790
A ritual of infinite exploration of the frontiers of science.
232
00:22:47,790 --> 00:22:49,790
But what's the point of all this?
233
00:22:49,790 --> 00:22:51,350
State your opinions.
234
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:53,962
I have no impressive opinions.
235
00:22:53,962 --> 00:22:57,709
Every one of you know more about theories than I do,
236
00:22:57,709 --> 00:23:03,874
but I think today's discussion serves only to make scientists vulnerable.
237
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:06,350
In my eyes,
238
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
there's no way whatsoever to authenticate these hypotheses.
239
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,960
But if those two-dimensional creatures and the turkeys on the farm
240
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,400
find out everything but are powerless to make any difference,
241
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,160
how despairing will they be?
242
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Actually, your current attitude proves that
243
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,550
no matter whether you're willing to admit it or not,
244
00:23:24,550 --> 00:23:26,030
you've come to believe this hypothesis.
245
00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:30,690
Even if I believe it, I will not accept that I'm a turkey scientist.
246
00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:36,840
Previous to this, maybe you've never thought that you might be a turkey scientist.
247
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,020
I will not accept I'm a turkey scientist.
248
00:23:50,590 --> 00:23:52,458
Dr. Shen,
249
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,280
has it ever occurred to you
250
00:23:56,350 --> 00:23:59,082
that such a statement can kill?
251
00:24:01,950 --> 00:24:04,154
The turkeys on the farm
252
00:24:05,310 --> 00:24:08,562
are meant to die on Thanksgiving Day.
253
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:27,416
[ Defend Our Mother Country]
254
00:24:44,510 --> 00:24:47,810
Professor Wang, you don't look very well.
255
00:24:47,810 --> 00:24:49,790
Rough night?
256
00:24:52,350 --> 00:24:55,334
The other day, you said those words to me on purpose, right?
257
00:24:56,300 --> 00:24:58,100
What words?
258
00:25:00,070 --> 00:25:02,210
Asking me to talk to Ding Yi.
259
00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:04,590
Making me become suspicious of the Frontiers of Science.
260
00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:06,350
All those were tricks meant for me, right?
261
00:25:06,350 --> 00:25:09,750
You set a trap for me and waited for me to step into it.
262
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:12,914
Although you're a science guy, you're pretty smart.
263
00:25:12,914 --> 00:25:14,240
Well, what did you find out?
264
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,140
Fill me in.
265
00:25:17,790 --> 00:25:19,880
Was Yang Dong's death really suicide?
266
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,880
In terms of criminology and forensic examination,
267
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,610
it was undoubtedly suicide, but if all their deaths were suicide, then what's the point of our investigation?
268
00:25:31,060 --> 00:25:33,280
You're still trying to trick me.
269
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,920
You're trying to trick me into focusing on Yang Dong.
270
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,920
That's right. I need to set another trap for you.
271
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Yang Dong's funeral is in two days.
272
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,840
Go ahead. Go ahead.
273
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:45,190
Go ahead.

What are you doing?
275
00:25:56,820 --> 00:25:58,240
Give me a ride downhill.
276
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,620
That's not even my car. Why are you pulling?
277
00:26:06,550 --> 00:26:11,006
People are prone to make mistakes when… when agitated.
278
00:26:24,410 --> 00:26:29,062
He went to Ding Yi, and then Shen Yufei.
279
00:26:29,062 --> 00:26:30,590
Don't get too excited.
280
00:26:30,590 --> 00:26:32,540
What's that going to prove?
281
00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:36,549
I bet he'll attend Yang Dong's funeral.
282
00:26:36,550 --> 00:26:37,850
Why?
283
00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:39,580
No particular reason.
284
00:26:39,580 --> 00:26:42,790
This Wang Miao guy strikes me as very special.
285
00:26:45,820 --> 00:26:51,120
Chang, it's been such a long time, and this is just a case about scientists' suicides.
286
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:54,590
With such a large Battle Command Center, have you really found nothing?
287
00:26:54,590 --> 00:26:56,700
It's about time you fill me in.
288
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:59,150
I mean, it's been some time since you transferred me here.
289
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:03,438
Does everything going on in this center need to be reported to you?
290
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:08,446
All you have to do is solve the case of the scientist.
291
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,400
All right.
292
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,120
Consider it done.

Thank you.
308
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,616
Do you specialize in the string theory as well?
309
00:28:51,070 --> 00:28:52,670
No.
310
00:28:52,670 --> 00:28:54,580
I specialize in nanotechnology.
311
00:28:54,580 --> 00:28:56,280
Applied physics.
312
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:04,526
A few days ago, I read a news report, and it's about nanotechnology.
313
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:10,898
It mentioned a kind of super-strength nanomaterial.
314
00:29:10,898 --> 00:29:12,830
Its name is Flying Blade.
315
00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:17,532
That's the very thing we've been researching in our lab.
316
00:29:17,532 --> 00:29:22,100
That's very audacious and very forward-looking.
317
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:24,450
You flatter us, Ms. Ye.
318
00:29:26,580 --> 00:29:28,720

when the superstring model verification experiment was conducted in Liangxiang,

00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:33,920
I took a picture of Yang Dong.

00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,040
I brought it here so you could have it as a keepsake.
322
00:29:48,550 --> 00:29:50,158
Sorry, Ms. Ye.
323
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,640
There was a technical glitch when I was developing and printing it.
324
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,190
I'll develop and print another one and deliver it to your house in a few days.
325
00:29:58,190 --> 00:29:59,844
Thank you.

You're welcome.
327
00:30:02,418 --> 00:30:04,630
See you around, Ms. Ye.
328
00:30:32,020 --> 00:30:34,680
You look pretty good dressed entirely in black.
329
00:30:37,030 --> 00:30:39,550
I know what you're going to say.
330
00:30:39,550 --> 00:30:42,600
I came here purely to show my respect for a scientist and offer my condolences.
331
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,690
Did I make myself clear enough?
332
00:30:44,690 --> 00:30:46,020
Stop following me.
333
00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:48,240
Did I ask you to make yourself clear?
334
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,712
You and Ye Wenjie, Yang Dong's mother, talked for a long time.
335
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:58,070
Is that so?
336
00:30:59,890 --> 00:31:03,120
Sorry for your loss. Goodbye.
337
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,150
It took you that long to say those words?
338
00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:22,672
What is this?
339
00:31:35,650 --> 00:31:37,450
- Hello?
- Xiao Wang?
340
00:31:37,450 --> 00:31:39,310
- Old Li.
- What's up?
341
00:31:39,310 --> 00:31:42,380
What's going on? I asked you to develop that roll of film for me.
342
00:31:42,380 --> 00:31:44,340
Was there something wrong with your machine?
343
00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:46,450
Why are there time codes on the pictures?
344
00:31:46,450 --> 00:31:48,060
That's… That's impossible.
345
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:50,744
That never happened to my other customers.
346
00:31:50,744 --> 00:31:53,440
Could it be that your negative's problematic?
347
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,040
Hold on.
348
00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:08,000
The negative has it too.
349
00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:10,920
Could it be the film?

- It can't be.

00:32:14,110 --> 00:32:15,640
I think it's your camera.
352
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,500
Could it be that you got the timer wrong?
353
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:19,210
Uh, what's the brand of your camera?
354
00:32:19,210 --> 00:32:21,760
Leica. M2, 1988.
355
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Fully mechanical and manual.
356
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,410
Well, that's a beautiful thing!
357
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:27,130
You're such a big spender!
358
00:32:27,130 --> 00:32:29,650
It can't be. Your camera should have no timer in it.
359
00:32:29,650 --> 00:32:34,811
Well, even if it had a timer, there's no way the time could've appeared in the middle of the picture.
360
00:32:34,811 --> 00:32:36,410
Well, I don't know.
361
00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:38,870
How about you do some more research?
362
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,700
Something's not right.
363
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:52,670
- The color of these codes changes with the background.
- What?
364
00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:54,680
Well, I'll do some research about it. Talk to you later.
365
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,080
All right.
366
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:21,940

Countdown.

After investigating the scene, they discovered the victim's pacemaker was interrupted by someone.

I only sent him faxes.

If it was he who photocopied them, how could the faxes have been photocopied at different times?
396
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:24,440
Nobody could've gotten the results of your experiment before you conducted it.

It's definitely the machine. Have some faith in science, okay?
