[theme music]
[chattering]
[man] No, I'm looking
right at the murder weapon.
Yeah, it's a crossbow.
Look, I'm hoping
you can give me something
saying that it could belong to William Tell.
[clicks tongue] Great.
Um, do you have a list
of colleagues, by chance?
- And you do this all the time?
- [woman] 260.
"All the time." 260, incredible.
Eighty one.
- Incredible. Hey, Sloane.
- [woman] Eighty one.
- Did you see my piece about the apple?
- No, sorry, Twi,
- I was just in a two-hour meeting with the sponsor.
- That's alright.
This is Exabyte.
She saw my story.
She's from another dimension
that's, like,
- adjacent--
- One node over.
One node over from ours.
- Okay, what is that?
- 196.
Okay, 196. What is she saying?
She's instantly adding up
the numeric value
of the letters in the words
that you just said.
- So A is 1, Z is 26
- [Exabyte] 1131--
Okay, Twi, what is the article gonna say?
"Asian girl is great at math"? That's sick.
- [Twilight] N-- no--
- You're lovely.
She's not Asian,
she's from another dimension.
Uh, wait. Are you Asian?
747. I know what the apple is.
- Get me something I can use.
- B-- the app-- she knows-- sh--
Twi, come on, she's pretty,
just put her picture on the front
and say, "From another dimension."
Prettier than me?
Hey.
- Sloane, hi. Um
- Hey. Hey. Hey, Sketch.
your wife is wondering
if you're getting her texts.
Oh, tell her I'm in the cone of silence
- and I will see her tomorrow.
- Yeah, I got it.
Quiet on set, please. We're rolling.
And that's it for today's BitSac Nuggets.
Tune in tomorrow as
Evangelion hits the big screen
and Duke Nukem bombs Oculus.
- [woman] Cutting.
- "Evangelion."
- We talked about this.
- Oh, well, it's not, like, evangelical,
- so-- - [Kage] Okay,
well, just redo it, Jemma.
- No, thank you.
- [Kage] Alright, everyone. Let--
Oh, Sloane, did you see my text?
[Sloane] Jemma, I'm slammed.
Jemma, get back here, please.
[Sloane] Nobody is going
home before midnight.
- Did you see the apple thing?
- Oh, girl,
I got a vodka sponsor on the hook.
- [Jemma] Okay, this relates--
- Yeah.
No, I don't think it does.
Look, look, seriously, Jemma,
I just went from six employees to 30,
and if we don't get a major sponsor soon,
then this growth spurt might
crater the whole channel.
So pray for vodka.
You need to see the apple.
I think I just need to, like, cry for an hour.
Is there a way to make
yourself cry for stress release?
Yeah, I think if you--
if you squeeze, like, right here
and then you, like,
squeeze down on your urethra,
- then you cry, like-- - Yeah, I think
that triggers something else, Avril.
Sloane, seriously, the apple.
Oh, you guys talking about the
apple? We have to move on that.
Uh, wait, are you trying to cry?
- Oh, now you want to move on it.
- Oh, like you were the one
- that was screaming from the rooftops?
- As a matter of fact,
- I have been.
- Okay.
Jesus, you guys usually hate
each other's ideas.
[Avril chuckles]
What are you talking about?
- [Jemma] Okay.
- [Kage] This-- this is it.
It is blowing up.
The thing Twilight posted
yesterday, eight million views.
- And then an hour ago--
- [Kage] And an hour ago,
on Jimmy Kimmel,
Daniel Kaluuya brought it up,
- so you know it's crazy.
- Mindy Kaling. It's getting major traffic.
R-- right, Beller?
What's the view count now?
Sixty four million views.
Sixty four million vi--
It went from eight million to 64--
- As we speak. Yeah!
- [Kage] In one hour.
What is it?
Okay. So over a month ago,
this TA at Caltech is looking at his phone
and he sees this picture that he
took of an apple from two months ago
just sitting on his kitchen counter.
And he sees that same,
same apple, it hasn't moved,
it's just sitting on that same little plate.
So over the next week,
he just keeps seeing this apple,
it's, like, untouched,
unchanged, totally ignored.
So he tells himself, "I need
to go over and check it out.
Why isn't it aging? Like, i-- is it real?"
[Kage] And then he notices that every day
he reminds himself to check the apple
- [Jemma] He doesn't do it. Uh-uh.
- he never actually does it.
And then-- and then weeks go by
and he thinks that,
"Maybe I'm having a mental
block." So then he asks his friend
to check it out, and his
friend says, "Sure, right away."
- [Jemma] But they never do it.
- [Sloane] Why not? W--
[Kage] to get around
to checking it either.
- And then Pelton, the TA.
- That's the TA, yeah.
[Kage] Every time he finds
himself trying to check the apple,
not only can he not touch it,
he can't even get
- anyone else to attempt it.
- [Sloane] There's no--
- [Kage] It's, it's crazy.
- It-- there's, like,
always some reason
that you can't touch it.
Okay, but someone can touch it,
someone can just walk up and touch it.
No one has.
I mean, he's tried and a month went by.
The apple hasn't moved
or changed in any way.
Put up 200 bucks to see
if anyone could touch it.
Okay, I mean, it's [sighs]
- ugh, I don't know.
- Okay, so he posted it on Instagram,
and it shot through the roof.
And then Twi made that blast about it
and it blew up.
[Sloane chuckling]
Okay, look, it's, it's weird.
- It's weird, I'll give you that.
- [Jemma] Yeah.
But it's just sort of inactive
- and flat, I don't know.
- No, it's huge. And for some reason,
it's caught on. Think about it this way.
It's like if a kid was trapped in a well,
except nobody has to die.
- [Jemma] What-- - [Kage]
Okay, look, people are hooked,
and we have to run with it.
Okay, well maybe if we had it here,
- then I would feel a little more inspired.
- [Jemma] We do.
Wait, so you did touch it?
No, we removed part
of the counter that it was on.
We've never touched the apple.
[mysterious music]
[Sloane] You took a whole counter?
How did Caltech let you walk away
- with their counter?
- [Beller] They were renovating.
- [mumbling]
- [Jemma] That's nice work.
Gave them 1000 bucks to box it up.
You ga-- $1000?
Beller, we can barely pay the electric bill.
- You paid $1000 for an apple.
- [Kage] When the box was closed,
we could hear it rolling around in there.
But then when Beller opened it,
it was just sitting right there,
- right in the middle of the plate.
- Okay. Well, Jesus,
someone just--
just touch it, and then that--
- then that's the end of it.
- [cross-talking]
- Yeah.
- Okay, go ahead.
- [Jemma] Yep.
- [man] It should be on camera too.
- Okay.
- [Brett] You saw the apple--
[chattering]
[Sloane] Uh--
[light suspenseful music]
- [Kage] Come on, touch it.
- Well--
- Should-- should we film it, you know?
- [Kage] Oh. Yeah.
- If we're gonna debunk the story, we should stream it.
- [Jemma] Yes--
[Sloane] We might as
well catch it on camera.
Okay. Okay.
Okay, so do you want Jemma to do it or--
- Or you?
- [Jemma] No, Sloane should do it.
- You should touch it.
- Yeah!
- Let's go, Sloane.
- [Jemma] Yeah, go.
- Touch it, Sloane.
- Okay, okay!
- [Jemma] apple sauce.
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.
- [Kage] Come on.
- Closer.
- Wait. I feel like there's an opportunity here,
- and we're all just like-- - [Jemma]
Oh, my God! You can't touch it.
- Oh, my God, you can't touch it.
- [cross-talking]
- You can't touch it!
- [Sloane] Okay.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- You can't touch it.
I just told the sponsors
that our brand is credibility,
truth telling, not buying
into magical thinking or hoaxes.
Okay, look,
there are things that we know
and we know that this can be touched.
- But you can't do it though, right?
- I can, Kage.
I-- obviously I can, it's right here.
- I jus-- I-- isn't it bette--
- [man] Come on!
Okay, Okay.
Can anybody touch the apple?
- I will give you $100.
- [Kage] I will give you $200,
- for anyone who can touch the apple. Any takers?
- Kage will clean his desk!
[Sloane] What? No, what is this?
Twi, you started it.
I-- I may have made a mistake.
- Twi, come on, what did she say to you?
- [Kage] I-- I don't know
what's going on with this, but I'm
telling you, no one can touch the apple,
it's like some weird physical law or--
Seventy two million views.
[Sloane] What? Oh!
God damn it. People,
there is no law, there's--
- there's no nothing, this is just--
- [Kage] Except 72 million views.
I should never have posted it.
[light eerie music]
Uh, no, you
should have. If this is blowing up,
this is what we're doing tonight.
We ar-- we are documenting it all.
- Beller
- Let's go, baby. That's what I'm talking.
keep it rolling, have a
camera on it at all times.
Laura, Sketchy, crank out
edits every 15 minutes.
- Jemma, give live updates.
- [Jemma] Got you.
[Sloane] We are all in,
and we're the truth tellers.
- That is our brand.
- Vodka! Vodka will be ours.
Somebody grab the apple
and prove we're not all crazy.
[suspenseful music]
$1000? [sighs]
[gentle music]
- [clack] - [Jemma] Okay,
how close have we gotten?
- [Brett] Uh, like, 17.
- [man] About 12 inches or so
- Seven-- 12?
- there's always a change of heart before that.
[Brett] I mean, anybody
get a giant industrial fan?
[Avril] Yeah, maybe it's
like a probability thing.
- What are the odds?
- [Jemma] No, we haven't--
- [Brett] So, like, a 56 spread?
- [Kage] Try it.
- [chattering]
- [Brett] Yeah, okay--
- It's 19. I'm writing 19.
- [Jemma] 19? Okay.
- Wait, yours was 17 or 12?
- [Jemma] Can the camera--
- mine was 17. Can the camera come closer?
- Okay.
What if this is just a human rule, huh?
- Maybe an animal could touch it, like, we could get
- I me--
- like, a trained chimpanzee.
- [Jemma] Where
- [Kage] Do we have a chimpanzee?
- do we find a chimpa--
- [Beller] Alright, Jemma, let's roll.
- [Brett] night?
[Jemma] Hey, guys! So we're
in the middle of trying this.
And so far I've been
the closest at 17 inches.
And that is as close as we've
gotten to touching the apple.
Check back soon. Smash that like
button. And we'll keep you updated.
- [Sloane] Yes, we, um
- I don't know why is--
uh [stuttering] it's--
it's happening right now.
[sighs] We, um--
Yes, we, we did promote the story,
but, um, but that's why
it makes it all the more urgent
for us to be the ones
to solve it, you know?
- It's-- [sighs] No.
- I feel like God is testing us.
- Oh. my gosh. Wow, wha-- - [Sloane]
It's not a cosmic riddle, it's an apple.
- [Kage] Wh-- hey, what is that?
- Sketchy!
- Uh, what is go-- come on, man.
- [unintelligible]
- [Jemma] We go--
- [Kage] This place is a circus.
- Sketch!
- [Kage] What are you doing?
[Sketchy] I don't think--
in the middle of something.
- [Avril] No, no, no!
- [Jemma] No!
[stutters] It's blo-- Sketchy!
[Beller] Wow, this is quite a mess.
[Jemma] So is it a force field?
[Twilight] It's a crack in the mirror.
[Beller] It's not physical, it's--
- p-- person always changes their mind.
- [Kage] Oh, like the--
- like their intention?
- It's more about free will
or the way we make choices.
Wait, ar-- we should be rolling
- on all of this. You got it?
- No, it's-- it's okay.
You could just repeat
all the smart stuff we say
and pretend like you came up with it.
Oh, my God, what is wrong with you?
The exterminating angel.
Come on, Twi,
I've never seen you like this.
What's wrong?
Exabyte said that there are these rules
that are attached to things.
That we don't even realize,
but if you think about it,
it does kind of make sense
why things happen sometimes.
- Like what?
- [chattering]
[gentle music]
[Twilight] Like my birthday,
- that one time in Morocco.
- it might be
[Twilight] They had this,
like, three-year long drought,
- and I planned my party outdoors and it rained.
- [chattering]
Of all days, that day, my day.
Yeah, but they got water.
If this is happening
if this is happening,
how can we just go on?
[light tense music]
How can we pretend like
this dream that we're all living
isn't just unraveling right now?
[Beller] Oh, no, babe, listen,
this is so cool! I mean,
there's a rule here,
some code of the universe.
I mean, t-- the universe has
an underlying code to it
like any program, right?
This is just part of it that got
exposed and is obvious to us.
Like in a video game.
You ever notice the same bird
flapping in the same window?
It's just the way it's constructed.
This has a rule.
What's the rule?
The apple will never move
from the plate? I-- I don't know.
[Kage] No, no, it's like you said, free will.
It's not gonna be
moved by human choice.
By human choice.
What if it was by accident?
- What if we got someone to bump into it?
- Yeah, exactly.
- Let's try it. Um
- [Brett] a big one with this.
- [Beller] Tim! Come here, please.
- they're about to do
- because then that'll wreck the experiment.
- Oh, r-- right, right.
Yeah, sure. No problem.
- Stand right here.
- Hey, Tim.
[light suspenseful music]
- [Beller] Face Kage.
- [whispering]
[Tim] What's up? What are
we, uh, what are we doing?
- Now is this, uh--
- [Beller] And we're rolling.
- Go for it.
- [Kage] Yeah, uh, okay.
Now, is, um,
- is this-- uh--
- Looks great.
[man] Hey, Tim.
Do you feel, like, if I should just maybe
- [man] Tim, we need you.
- take a step back firs--
- [Tim] Oh, sorry, man.
- [Beller] Mm.
- [Brett] Good call.
- What the hell was that?
I-- I don't know, I--
- You hesitated.
- I-- I had full intention.
I-- I was focused on trying
to push him back--
[Twilight] This is crazy.
- What's the rule?
- The rule is [sighs]
we solve this in the next
two hours or we're screwed.
Well, Beller thinks the universe
is coded and that's a glitch.
- Well, that's terrifying.
- No, it's awesome.
Th-- there must be glitches all
over the world we just don't notice.
- Wha-- what are you doing?
- Just out of reach.
Testing, getting evidence
that it can't be touched.
[Sloane] What evidence?
We need to prove it can be touched.
We, we, we can prove
that something is possible,
but you could never prove
that something is impossible.
Absence of evidence
is not evidence of absence.
- Isn't that a mantra somewhere?
- [Kage] Oh, wait, what?
- [Sloane] Isn't that Carl Sagan?
- Absence of evidence is not--
- But that's-- No. No, no.
- [Kage] Okay, yeah, I heard what you said.
I-- if you say there's no evidence
Ryan Reynolds is an arsonist,
uh, but that's not evidence
that he's not an arsonist,
I would say that's actually
pretty good evidence
- if there's no reason to believe he's an arsonist.
- [man] Okay.
And people are gonna go and say,
"Well, technically the jury's still out
on Ryan Reynolds being an arsonist,"
- when there was never any evidence at all.
- Thank you.
- Yo, pizza's here.
- Wait, he's not an arsonist, right?
- [woman distantly] Cut it up!
- How late are we going?
Jemma, seriously, all night if we have to.
- Are y-- are you okay?
- [Sloane chuckles] It's--
It's 8:00 a.m. in Milan,
and I'm getting calls already,
very concerned
about my claim of credibility.
We're gonna look ridiculous if we don't--
- [chattering]
- [Sloane] Let's just do it.
- Let's, you know, for the company.
- [Jemma] Okay, let's do it.
So is the company still us
or is it you and a website now?
Do you remember when we used
to stay up all night,
- just, like, coding and partying?
- Uh, yeah.
- Drinking, shit talking.
[chuckles] - [laughs] Yeah.
Just, like, having fun.
- It's gonna be just like that
- I miss that.
minus all the fun.
Okay, let's just get you pizza,
and it's gonna be okay, alright?
- You gotta cry.
- Um, we have a, a wrinkle outside
I think you should probably go check on.
Hey, Sloane, did you hear that?
- What?
- Pizza girl knows the guy who found the apple, Pelton.
- Really?
- Uh, yeah, I, uh, deliver there all the time.
[Beller] Tell them what you
said, about the prediction.
- Well, it's, um
- [chattering]
there's a clock or a-- like,
like a countdown or I don't know.
But, um, they said if they--
the apple didn't move
off the plate by a certain time,
- then, you know--
- [Jemma] What?
- What?
- Well, like, the world would end or something. [chuckles]
- [Jemma] Wow.
- Oh, God!
- Yeah.
- Oh, God!
[Sloane] Okay, so, so,
so don't think about it.
Just-- just go over there,
I will give you $1000 right now
if you go touch that apple.
- [chattering]
- [sharply exhales]
- Uh-uh.
- Really? Not even to save the world?
- It's too much pressure.
- [Beller] See?
- $1000, just rolls off the tongue.
- [Brett] Hey, uh,
there are, like, a-- a lot of people outside.
- What? Who?
- Yeah, that's what I was kind of trying to tell you.
- We're starting to get some really bad comments.
- Yeah, there's a lot
- of anger outside.
- [Jemma] They're pissed at the apple.
- A-- and they tracked it here?
- [Jemma] Yeah, we've been posting updates.
But they're here. W-- what's the point
of pretending this is a paint factory?
[moans] Okay, lock the doors.
Are they locked?
- Are the doors locked?
- Yeah, but I'll--
- I'll check again.
- Can we call the police?
[Sloane] Seriously? No.
Wait, Beller, Jemma, next update.
Okay.
[banging]
[man] Cut it up! Cut it up!
[crowd chanting and banging]
Cut it up! Cut it up!
- [whirring and chiming]
- [distant banging]
And with that lovely noise
as our send-off music,
let's check back soon. And be sure
to smash that like and subscribe button
for tons more BitSac Nuggets.
- [Brett] And cut.
- [sighs and clears throat]
- Say something awful.
- No, I, I liked it.
I kind of like when your hair's free.
[knocking on door]
Crowd isn't going away.
- They want blood.
- Uh, back door, Beller's back.
- [muffled shouts]
- Wha--
- Where was he?
- Guys, this is Pelton.
He found the apple.
Why is he here?
I sort of kidnapped him.
[man on microphone]
We want to see the apple. Go--
- What?
- [horn blares]
[mysterious music]
[banging continues]
I can't believe it's gotten this far.
Okay, but are there scientists at Caltech
who actually think this is true?
[man on microphone] We know--
Well, uh, to use
layman's terms, yes and no.
- Layman's terms?
- Use bigger words.
- [Kage] Start speaking En--
- Okay, let him speak.
It's, it's, it's, uh, cognitive dissonance.
There's clearly
something weird going on,
but is it psychological or ontological?
No one knows. Uh, there's no
physical reason we can't touch the apple.
- And yet, it never happens. We've been trying for two hours.
- [Jemma] Yeah.
- [banging]
- [muffled shouting]
- What?
- [Kage] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- W-- uh, wh-- what about the,
uh, the ticking clock thing,
- the countdown?
- Prediction.
- Yeah.
- Um,
well, that was a joke.
Someone said, "If the apple
doesn't move by tomorrow,
it proves time has stopped
and we slipped into a black hole."
- That's not funny.
- But not really, right?
- Well
- Wh-- what?
[banging]
H-- has no one here really
been able to move the apple?
- No.
- No one's even touched it.
- Uh, well--
- What?
Uh, well, there's one thing
we thought of but never did.
Okay, why are you so nervous?
You seem nervous.
No, I'm, um--
You're not actually worried
about this, are you?
- Wait, what's the one thing?
- [Kage] Oh, great.
- We thought if we had a gun aimed at the apple
- A gun?
but, uh, it was triggered
remotely by something else
which was triggered remotely
by something else and on and on.
Like a Rube Goldberg kind of thing?
- Yeah.
- If you could remove direct interaction
and trigger it by accident.
- A gun? That's ridiculous.
- We don't have a gun.
- We don't have a gun.
- [Beller] Hey!
[people shouting]
Close enough.
We have a crossbow.
[ominous music]
[light rock music]
Okay. So someone will trigger
this domino here,
releasing all the dominoes down.
That will fall, launching the toy train
which will go down the track
into the other toy train,
tripping the spatula,
which will release the can.
The can will then let the LEGO
motorcycle go down the track,
which then will let
the golf ball trace down here,
- knocking over the CD, releasing the toy car
- [loud bang]
which will then take out the Solo cups.
This baseball will roll down,
sink the coffee filters
which will cut the string,
releasing the hammer,
hitting the seesaw,
- which will fire the crossbow.
- [sharp hissing]
[crowd shouting] it up! Cut it up!
[loud bang]
What could possibly go wrong?
[loud bang]
[Kage] Nice, that last
one had good force.
- [Beller] Mm-hmm.
- Let's, uh,
- just bring it down a little lower.
- [Beller] Cool.
Let's use the real one this time.
- Yeah?
- [Kage] Yeah.
[woman] Beller and his crossbow.
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- [Beller grunts]
[Avril] Hey, what's wrong?
I just promised we would have
this solved within the hour.
[Avril] Sometimes Beller's plans work.
[chattering]
You know what? I'm just gonna touch it.
There's no need for all this.
Beller, you rolling?
- Uh, yeah. Tim, camera.
- Okay.
- Go for it, boss.
- [Jemma] Come on, Sloane.
- [man] She's gonna touch it.
- [woman] She's gonna--
- [loud banging]
- [man] Tim, back up. Get--
- [loud whirring]
- [people shouting]
[man] Dominoes! Beller!
Get-- get--
- [unintelligible]
- Oh! Oh!
[sighs] Cover that up. Cover that up.
[people shouting]
- [loud squeaking]
- [horn blaring]
[crowd shouting]
We're here for the fruit! No,
no, no, you're all full of crap.
- The apple, we're here for the apple.
- Cut it up!
We're here for the apple. Where
is it, huh? We're gonna cut it up.
- Cut it up! Cut it up! Cut it up!
- [woman] Cut it up!
- Cut it up!
- [crowd shouting]
- Cut it up!
- Cut it up!
Shut up! Shut up!
- Where's the apple? Where's--
- The apple!
- Where's the a-- we want
- Shut up! Shut up! Look,
- we totally agree.
- the app--
- We, we are with you completely.
- Then why are you lying to us?
- I'm not lying.
- You said there's no free will! There's no willpower.
I don't say anything like that.
You're lying to us.
You are a liar. You are a liar.
- Cut it up! Cut it up!
- [crowd] Cut it up! Cut it up!
[shouting continues]
We're not lying! No!
You guys are animals!
What exactly is the problem
you have with it?
These people might think it's offensive,
- maybe a little bit insensitive.
- I find it offensive!
She finds it offensive. The apple,
now, it's taken on so much meaning,
it l-- symbolizes so much, and
you are gonna tear that from them
- [crowd] Yeah!
- to say we can't move it?
I mean, that's like saying
that the gravity never happened.
It's saying that everything we
know about cause and effect is a lie.
Where is it? Where is it?
- [shouts] There are the--
- Just careful with the dominoes.
- [shouting]
- [man] There it is.
- [shouting]
- [Sloane] Alright, are we live?
Are we live streaming?
Okay, do what you came to do.
Okay, um, yeah, okay, I'm gonna do this.
- I'm gonna-- okay, yeah, I'm gonna do it.
- Yeah! Yeah!
- I'm gonna do it. Okay. Uh--
- You can do it. You got this.
- Yeah, I got this. I'm gonn-- Here we go.
- You got this.
- Okay.
- Cut it up!
Yeah, I'm gonna cut it. I'm gonna cut it.
I'm gonna cut it.
I'm gonna cut it. [shouts]
[crowd shouting]
[ominous music]
- [shouts] God!
- [gasping]
- [groaning]
- [panting]
- [shouts and moans]
- [grunts] I got cut too.
Fucking idiots!
[panting]
- That's not even the right apple!
- [crowd] What?
- [Sloane] What?
- Yeah. Kage put it in the box
when these freaks came
busting through the door.
- No!
- Beller?
Kage moved it.
We were rolling the whole time.
Oh, shit. Yeah, no,
she's right. That's, that's,
- that's not the right apple. The apple's over there.
- No, it doesn't matter.
- We-- we still cut it, right? We still cut it.
- Yeah, we-- Yeah.
- We cut that apple.
- That was a test apple. That's not the original.
I am injured because of you!
Well, you didn't move the apple,
so we can't say that you did.
- We have footage.
- [man shouts] Yeah.
- Yeah, so do we!
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- we got footage.
- So do we! The original apple
is still clearly right there.
- It has not moved.
- We moved it. We moved it.
- We moved it. We moved it.
- [crowd] We moved it!
[crowd chanting]
We moved it! We moved it!
- We moved it!
- We cut it. We cut it.
- We cut it. We cut it. We cut--
- Okay, we cut it.
- We proved that we can cut it.
- [unintelligible]
- We cut it!
- We are not running around all over the earth
- chasing down every apple.
- [woman] We're not cha--
- Something is very wrong here.
- [unintelligible]
- We want the truth!
- You can either do it or you can't!
Thinking you have free will
doesn't mean you have free will.
I might think that I can
stop drinking for a month,
but the fact is, I've never gone
for more than four days without.
If I don't actually do it, is it possible?
- You're just an alcoholic! We cut the apple!
- [crowd shouts] Yeah!
- We cut the apple!
- Come on!
The apple is never gonna move!
It doesn't matter what you say. God.
And it's not just the apple, it's everything.
Everything-- everything that we
say is just obeying some unseen,
unknown rules, that--
we have no choice at all.
At all. Whatever happens
was always gonna happen.
And then after the fact, we
[stutters] we say that we chose it.
We act like it's what we meant to do.
But you think you chose
to come here? You didn't.
- The apple made you.
- [crowd] No!
The apple is proof
that nothing is chosen.
- What?
- [Beller] Twi, it's okay.
No, it's not okay.
There are rules.
- Bad people win.
- [people shouting]
You're gonna break up with me.
- What?
- Everybody, shut up! Shut up!
The apple has not moved!
I want to say something!
I have lived every day
in fear of who I am.
Fear that my parents or my friends
would find out the truth
about my intelligence
or my sexuality or other stuff!
But I am a powerful man!
And I feel things!
[softly] Oh, my God, this is fabulous.
- I feel things too.
- This is happening to us
because we needed it to happen!
What is happening?
[crying] This is my fault!
I started this!
[yelling] This is about me!
- I have to end it!
- No, don't--
[woman yells] Oh, no!
[shouting]
[banging]
- [gasps]
- [bell dings]
[thuds and whirring]
- [hissing]
- [sharp thud]
- Oh, shit!
- Oh!
- Oh, my God!
- [shouting]
[screaming]
[people shouting]
[unintelligible]
- [screaming continues]
- Twi! Twi, it's--
it's gonna be okay!
Call an ambulance, please!
- [chattering]
- [Beller] Oh, my God.
[eerie music]
[nurse 1] Twilight, we're taking you
to the ambulance right now, okay?
- We're gonna get you to the hospital, all right?
- Can I come with?
- [nurse 2] No, we've got it from here.
- [nurse 1] So sorry, sir.
- [nurse 2] She'll be fine.
- She'll be just fine, sir, okay?
Keep your head very still for me.
- It's great, watch these closely.
- [chattering]
[Twilight softly crying]
["Pinball" by Brian Protheroe]
- Thank you.
- You alright?
[Jemma] Mm, you know.
- [Kage] So what's the plan, boss?
- [blows raspberries]
[Sloane sighing] Well, we tell the truth.
And the truth is,
no one could touch it.
The truth is, we think we know things,
but we don't know anything
about anything.
So do we still have vodka?
Oh, God, no.
They bailed 20 minutes ago.
Apparently, Beller was live
streaming when Twilight got shot.
And now we're a meme
for idiocy around the world.
Yeah. So our brand is
smug incompetence.
[chuckles]
You two write something
that has fun with that.
- I'm gonna go check on Twi.
- [Kage] Good luck.
