Doctor Barclay Colvin has called a press conference to demonstrate a practical demonstration of the many-worlds theory. He shows the press a loaded 9mm pistol. He explains the gun cannot kill him. He says that every time he puts the gun to his temple two realities are created: One where the gun did not fire and one where it did. A special machine is to make sure only the former happens, making Doctor Barclay Colvin immortal. Just as he is about to demonstrate this, the foot of one of the journalists gets caught in a power cord, unplugging it. He asks if it's supposed to be plugged in, but Doctor Barclay is too busy ranting to notice. Doctor Barclay pulls the trigger and shoots himself through the head.
