Now, I think that if we look
at this clock tower...

:02:06
...we may find the specific time.
:02:12
- What do you see?
- 2:22.

:02:15
- What time is it now?
- Almost three.

:02:19
- We missed it.
- No, we didn't.

:02:23
We didn't miss it because...
:02:25
You don't know this? I-I know something

:02:30

:03:02
- Benjamin Franklin.
- Benjamin Franklin.

:03:05
Is this real?
:03:07
Just tell me what you told my friend.
:03:09
Just a bunch of letters.
I can't remember.

:03:13
Can you remember which ones
you were gonna tell him next?

:03:17
Yeah, here. S-T-O-W.
:03:28
Top results: Liberty Bell
and Independence Hall.

:03:35
Imagine its impact
back in the 18th century.

:03:38
