你想和其他人一样玩得开心 You try to have a good time like everybody else,
但你不禁想知道为什么你的瓶子 but you can't help but wonder why your bottle
总是最后一个被选中 is always the last one picked,
你希望知道自己做错了什么 and you wish you knew what you did wrong.
葡萄酒的世界可能感觉像一个专属俱乐部 The world of wine may feel like an exclusive club
有一千个密码要输入 with a thousand passwords to enter.

你的鼻子就会变得越复杂 the more sophisticated your nose will become.
气味 Smell that.

这就是那家公司的独特之处 You know, it's what, what's unique about that company
他们决定这么做 这只是… is they decide to do that. And it's just...
大多数人都喜欢 你知道吗? Most people tend to like it, you know?
你从来没闻过这种味道 You've never smelled anything quite like it before.
所以如果你想成为气味大师 So, if you wanna become a master of scent,
你得直接去找源头 you gotta go straight to the source.
我们在制造工厂 We're at the manufacturing plant
风暴保龄球产品公司 实际上我们是唯一的公司 for Storm Bowling Products, and we're actually the only company

用一种特殊的待遇 with a, a special treat.
你在喝什么? What are you drinking right there?

他有一整个飞行 He had a whole flight of them

哇 Wow.
你以前一直喝能量饮料 You used to drink energy drinks all the time,
你记得你真的很喜欢它 and you remember really liking it.
你不需要学习任何东西就能享受它们 You didn't have to study anything to enjoy them,
做出选择总是毫不费力的 and making a selection was always effortless.
但随着年龄的增长 你就完全不喝了 But as you got older, you stopped drinking them entirely
因为你觉得你的品味 because you felt like your taste
因为某种原因需要进化 needed to evolve for some reason.
你已经很久没吃过了 It's been a long time since you've had one,
你有点想喝酒 and you kind of wish that drinking wine
可能就这么简单 could be this simple.
但既然你这么努力地自学 But since you've worked so hard to educate yourself,
你不妨把它派上用场 you might as well put it to use
在船上品酒的时候 at a wine tasting on a boat,
希望你能适应这里的生活 uh, where you should hopefully be able to fit right in.
你安顿下来 找个能欣赏城市美景的地方 You settle down and get a spot with a good view of the city,
你很兴奋终于可以炫耀了 and you're excited to finally show off
你所学到的一切 everything that you learned.
他们说 “什么特级酒会?” And they said, "What Grand Cru meeting?"
因为我想来自… Because I guess the people from...
加索尔——从梦幻…… Pau-- from Pauillac...
因为他们的酒不是特级酒 because their stuff isn't Grand Cru.
-不 他们的都是特级葡萄酒 -哦 另一种方式… -No, theirs is all Grand Cru. -Oh, the other way...
在波默罗正好相反 It's the other way around in Pomerol.
波美罗没有特级酒 Pomerol has no Grand Cru.
好吧 我弄混了 Okay, I mixed it up.
他们给你买了几种不同的酒 And when they bought you a few different kinds of wine,
你 你还是不知道怎么形容他们 you, you still don't really know how to describe them.
所以 你最终只是同意了 So instead, you just end up agreeing
别人怎么说的 with what everyone else says.
我闻到Kerner的第一股味道就是杏仁味 First thing I always smell with Kerner is that almond.

你越是认同大家的观点 And it seemed like the more you agreed with everyone,
他们就越把你当成自己人 the more they treated you like one of their own.
对这些人撒谎感觉有点奇怪 It felt kind of weird lying to these people,
但也许只是你的一部分 but maybe there's just some part of you
他们总是想要融入 that always just wants to fit in.
无论它是什么 No matter what.
在我上大学的第一周 In my first week of college,
我想交朋友 结果宿舍里有人 I was looking to make friends, and someone in my dorm room
告诉我加入无伴奏合唱团很酷 told me that it was cool to join an a cappella group.
我很容易受影响 I was really suggestible,
我只需要一个人 and all I needed was a single person
告诉我该做什么 to tell me what to do.
所以 第二天早上 我去了选拔赛 So, the next morning, I went to tryouts
并把它变成了一个组 and actually made it into one of the groups.
他们被称为 They were called the
我们唱的大多是经典摇滚歌曲 and we sang mostly classic rock songs.
我马上就觉得这有点逊 I immediately thought it was kind of lame,
我一直在想离开的办法 and I kept thinking of ways to leave.
但小组里的人一直在安慰我 But the people in the group kept reassuring me
我们做的事很酷 that what we were doing was cool,
所以我就留下来了 uh, so I stayed.
尽管我在那里交了几个好朋友 Even though I made a few really good friends there,
我一直觉得很尴尬 I was kind of embarrassed the whole time.
然后有一天 我们被邀请了 And then one day, we were invited
去奥尔巴尼参加无伴奏合唱峰会 to an a cappella summit in Albany
那是由一个我们从未听说过的组织主办的 that was hosted by a group that we had never heard of before.
整个事情就这样发生了 And the whole thing took place
在一个叫“蛋”的没有窗户的大楼里 in a windowless building called The Egg.
这个活动被称为无伴奏合唱创新 The event was called A Cappella Innovations,
是一个叫基斯的男人主持的 and it was hosted by a man named Keith.
他没有无伴奏合唱的背景 He didn't have any background in a cappella,
但他的简历上说他是世界上 but his bio said that he was one of the world's
最能解决问题的三个人 top three problem solvers.
这意味着什么 Whatever that meant.
他整个周末都潜伏在会场周围 He lurked around the venue all weekend,
做的演讲 giving lofty speeches
关于无伴奏合唱的变革力量 about the transformative power of a cappella.
甚至还问过我们 And at one point, even asked us
我们的社会保险号码 for our Social Security numbers for some reason.
这是该活动仅有的一些视频 This is some of the only existing video of the event,
我就在里面 就在那里 and I'm actually in it, right, right there.
司仪是一个叫艾利森·麦克的女人 The master of ceremonies was a woman named Allison Mack,
我是在电视剧《超人前传》里认识的 who I knew from that TV show "Smallville,"
即使 即使我从未看过它 even, even though I had never watched it.
我认为无伴奏合唱在世界上的价值 I think the value of a cappella in the world
这只是人类表达的另一种形式 is it's just, it's another form of human expression.
这是另一个美丽的例子 It's another example of the beauty
我们可以作为人类来建造 that we can build as human beings.
他们利用这次活动来首映 They were using this event to premiere
他们有自己的无伴奏合唱团“简单人类” their own a cappella group called Simply Human,
我们都应该感到敬畏 which we were all supposed to be in awe of.
你在街上为钱而走…… You walk the streets for money...
我能看出来 I can tell that they were
现在回想起来太可怕了 horrible watching it back now,
但出于某种原因 在那一刻 but for some reason, in the moment,
我真的觉得它们一样好 I genuinely thought they were just as good
正如他们所说的那样 as they said they were.
洛葛仙妮! Roxanne!
你不必向黑夜出卖自己的身体 You don't have to sell your body to the night
当我们终于有了休息时间 When we finally had some downtime,
我们决定给基思打电话 we decided to Google Keith
所有人都是第一次去 and everyone there for the first time.
他们的组织叫做NXIVM Their organization was something called NXIVM,
基思上了很多邪教网站 and Keith was on a bunch of cult watch websites
用于运行多层次营销方案 for running multi-level marketing schemes.
我们还读到一些人甚至自杀了 We also read that some people even killed themselves
在参加了他的高管成功课程后 after taking his Executive Success programs,
我们都很担心 and we all got really worried.
他们举办这个活动是为了培养大学生 They had set up this event to groom undergraduate students
加入NXIVM to join NXIVM.
在他们眼里 像是无伴奏合唱 In their eyes, being into a cappella
我们有资格参加邪教吗 had pre-qualified us for a cult
因为我们太渴望被接纳了 because we were so eager to be accepted.
在闭幕晚会上 At the closing night party,
我们都决定直面他们 we all decided to confront them.
我们冲艾利森·麦克和基思·拉尼埃尖叫 We screamed at Allison Mack and Keith Raniere
在阿卡贝拉合唱团的其他成员面前 in front of the rest of the a cappella groups,
还潦草地写下了自杀受害者的名字 and scrawled the names of the suicide victims
在墙上的白板上 on the whiteboards that they had set up on the walls.
这在无伴奏合唱界引起了巨大的争议 It caused a massive controversy in the a cappella community.
有一根很长的线 There was a really long thread
在无伴奏合唱留言板上 on the a cappella message board afterwards.
NXIVM试图摧毁我们的信誉 NXIVM tried to destroy our credibility
指控我们破坏酒店房间 by accusing us of vandalizing our hotel room
是他们为我们租的 that they rented for us.
他们说我们用人类粪便覆盖了它 They said we covered it with human waste
他们甚至联系了我们学院的院长 and they even contacted the dean of my college
想让我被开除 to try to get me expelled.
那时候 留在学校的唯一办法 At that point, the only way to stay in school
是亲自道歉吗 would be to personally apologize
打电话给NXIVM to NXIVM over the phone,
嗯 我做了 uh, which, which I did.
在整个事件之后 After that whole incident,
我再也没参加过无伴奏合唱 I never got involved in a cappella ever again.
据我所知 基斯也不知道 And from what I hear, neither did Keith.
我了解葡萄酒的决心 My determination to understand wine
送我去全国各地品尝 had sent me to tastings all across the country.
但是 不管我去哪里 喝什么 But, no matter where I went or what I drank,
我还是觉得不自然 it still never felt natural to me.
也许这是个错误 Maybe it was a mistake
想要加入这个俱乐部 to even try to join this club.
因为如果我最终进入了葡萄酒界 Because if I finally entered wine society,
人们可能会觉得我很容易上当受骗 people might see me as an easy mark
任何危险的主张 for any number of dangerous propositions.
我真的不想像其他人一样成为一只绵羊 I really didn't want to be a, a sheep like everyone else.
但我也不知道如何选择退出 But I also didn't know how to opt out
完全忽略葡萄酒 and ignore wine completely.
当我在品酒会后在沙滩上散步时 When I was walking around the beach after a tasting,
我看见一些人在周围走动 I saw some people walking around
给大家分发饮料 handing out drinks to everyone,
他们也给了我一个 and they gave me one, too.
这是一种能量饮料 It was an energy drink.
当我打开一口喝了一口 When I cracked one open and took a sip,
我有了很久没有的感觉 I felt something I hadn't felt for a long time.
我甚至都不用看罐子 I didn't even have to look at the can
知道它是什么味道 to know what flavor it was.
与那里的每个人交谈都毫不费力 Conversation with everyone there was effortless.
尽管我对这些一无所知 And even though I didn't know anything about this stuff,
没有人试图让我感到自卑 nobody tried to make me feel inferior.
- Frose上涨?-Frosé Rosé就像一个… -What's Frosé Rosé? -Frosé Rosé is like a...
草莓味的 有点像书呆子…… strawberry tasting, kind of like Nerds...
整个事件实际上是一次海滩清理 The whole event was actually a beach cleanup,
看起来像是公司 and it seemed like the company
有一个非常积极的使命 had a, a really positive mission.
谁想出这个主意的? Who came up with this idea?
店主是杰克·奥瓦克 他是南佛罗里达人 The owner is Jack Owoc. He's a South Florida native.
哦,真的吗? Oh, really?
他是公司的首席执行官 He's the CEO of the company,
所以 你知道 每个人 每个人都认识他 and so, you know, everybody, everybody knows him.
他们都高度评价这个叫杰克的人 They all spoke highly of this man named Jack,
是谁那么脚踏实地 who was so down-to-Earth that he even
让他的员工去他家玩 let his employees hang out at his house.
他的房子什么样? What's his house like?
真的吗? Really?
哦,真的吗? Oh, really?
没有一个是卖酒的 None of the, the wine people
我见过的组织过海滩清理的人 I, I met ever organized any beach cleanup.
也许我一开始就不该放弃能量饮料 And maybe I was wrong to give up energy drinks to begin with.
也许这个叫杰克的家伙知道些什么 Maybe this Jack guy knew something
那些卖酒的人都不知道 that all those wine people didn't,
这让我很想见见他 and it made me really wanna meet him,
但不幸的是 没人告诉我 but, unfortunately, nobody would tell me
怎么跟他联系 how to get in touch with him.
我在Instagram上给他发了条信息 I sent him a message on Instagram,
但我 我没有得到回复 but I, I didn't get a response.
但幸运的是 我搜索他名字的时候 Uh, but luckily, when I Googled his name,
我发现了一篇关于 一幢大厦的文章 I found an article about a, a, a mansion
他最近才买的 that he had recently just purchased,
上面有他的确切地址 and it had his exact address.
我不知道能不能在那里找到他 I don't know if I would find him there
或者他会让我进门 or if he would even let me in the door,
但我觉得至少值得一试 but I figured it was at least worth a shot.
于是 我租了一辆车 出发去见他 So, I rented an automobile, and I set out to meet him.
他住在城外很远的地方 He lived far outside the city
在一个隐蔽的 封闭的社区 in a secluded, gated community
那里有自己的安全部队 that had its own security force.
晚上好 姓名或地址 Good evening. Name or address of the per--
-- -儿子 你是-呃 杰克·奥沃克? - --son you're-- -Uh, Jack Owoc?
能告诉我您的姓名或公司名称吗? Can I have your name or company's name?
哦,约翰威尔逊? Uh, John Wilson?
请继续往登机口走 晚安 Please continue to the gate. Have a good night.
哦我的上帝… Oh my god...
我没打算做更多的事 I hadn't planned any farther than that
因为我真的以为会被拒之门外 because I, I genuinely expected to be turned away.
但现在所有的大门都敞开了 But now that all the gates were open,
我不得不一路走下去 I had to go all the way.
当我慢慢走近杰克的家时 As I slowly approached Jack's house,
他家外面有一长列汽车 there was a long line of cars outside of his place.

我看见一个人坐在宝座上 I saw a man on a throne
和我看过的杰克照片上的人长得一模一样 who looked like all the photos of Jack I had seen.
我不知道该说什么 I wasn't sure what to say,
但在我有任何想法之前 but before I could think of anything,
他注意到我站在他身后 he noticed that I was standing right behind him.
来 我可以给你看我的…… Here, I can show you my...
他立刻对我起了疑心 He was immediately suspicious of me,
但在我说服他我在为HBO做节目后 but after I convinced him I was making a show for HBO,
他放松了一点 说欢迎我一起出去玩 he relaxed a bit and said I was welcome to hang out.
录音的时候告诉我 我就告诉你… Tell me when you're recording, and I'll tell you...

我被杰克的魅力迷住了 I was hypnotized by Jack's charisma,
似乎有强大的效果 which seemed to have a powerful effect
所有他身边的妇女和儿童 on all the women and children he surrounded himself with.

你喜欢酒吗?-嗯,我们—— -Do you like wine? -Uh, we--
我喜欢我们刚发行的《Bang Hard Seltzer》 I like Bang Hard Seltzer that we just released.

仪式结束后, After the ceremony,
两个上层家庭成员 two upper-level members of the family
记下我所有的信息 took down all my information
告诉我杰克会和我联系 and told me that Jack would be in touch.
我不确定他的计划是什么 I wasn't sure what he had planned,
但这似乎只是开始 but it seemed like this was only the beginning.
我们是信任他人的物种 We are a trusting species,
有时我们会为了归属感而走极端 and sometimes we go to extremes to feel like we belong.
我们扭曲自己以取悦他人 We distort ourselves to please others.
以及对成为局外人的强烈恐惧 And the intense fear of being an outsider
会让你变得面目全非 can turn you into someone you barely recognize.
但如果你对自己诚实 But if you're honest with yourself
关于你真正喜欢什么 about what you actually like,
你可以两全其美 you can get the best of both worlds.
哇 Whoa.
所以不要担心别人怎么想 So don't worry about what people think
当你带东西去他们的派对时 when you bring stuff to their party
因为如果他们是你真正的朋友 because if they're your real friends,
反正他们也会说喜欢的 they'll probably just say they like it anyway.
