One, two, three.
Two, three, four. We are working for you.
The piece. We're here to deep that deep
that we wear lots of hats. Come on and watch what we can do.
We're always ready. Gently giving it our
all for the care We shelter for you and.
The.
Let's get down to work. Let's
get down to work every day. A section. There's never a.
Literally. Shall we take a break?
Here, have some tea. Thank you. Here we go.
It's never a question of where we'd rather be.
We succeed, we fail.
On a side note, we don't know who you are. We.
Together, supporting you with all of our hearts.
Oh, my. There's a.
You shouldn't have come.
Are you working? Yes, I'm working. Are
you working? Working. Working for you.
Thymocytes.
Inside every human body, there are roughly 37.2 trillion cells.
Each and every one working hard to maintain
a healthy, effective system 24 over seven.
And they all take their jobs very seriously.
Welcome to the inside of a human body.
We are the one and only T cells.
So we go places. All the cells here to go.
We fight battles of the cells that pick up the pace.
You lazy bums or I'll pick you
up and drop you on your skulls.
Killer T cells under the command of helper T cells.
The killer T's are assassins who identify
and destroy dangers such as virus infected cells and cancer cells.
We are. Okay. All right. Knives form up.
You've got some hellish resistance and combat
training in store for you today.
Does that sound good to you? Yes, sir.
1867. 1868. 2465. I used to do 3000 before breakfast. 3578.
you respond with yes or no, sir. You understand me? Yes, sir.
Oh, Yankees. Yeah.
Oh, you quivering amoebas.
Better hurry up and grow some backbone.
You ever heard of a teacher who
doesn't give it his all? Sir? No, sir.
You cowards are nothing more than a pack
of mewling babies, aren't you? Yes, sir.
You understand that a T-cell is the immune
system's very last line of defense.
Do you not? Yes, sir. You're no last line.
You're a punch line. Time to get
your pathetic selves into shape, then, isn't it?
I'm just going to go ahead and close the window. Yes, sir.
It's rather obnoxious. No hope for a breeze.
Even with the door closed, we can still hear him hollering.
Helper T-cells. Commanders who formulate attacks, strategies
against invading enemies and issue orders to kill her t cells
doesn't exactly make for the most pleasant t time,
does it? A regulatory T cell.
It's a distraction. I know it's a foreign
concept, but some people are working
regulatory t cells. They prevent killer t cells
from losing control and suppress excessive immune response.
Hey, it's t time. Why don't we?
Oh, wow. Are you okay? Oh, sorry about that, Commander.
I flicked this bugger a bit too hard.
That's not good. Did he just take down Commander Helper T?
Okay, Killer T, look, you've had this
lecture coming for some time now,
so listen, can you relax for five seconds?
For once in your life, take a little moderation into account?
I'm more concerned about getting the job done,
which you should be thanking me for.
I'm whipping these boys into shape to fight your battles.
After all, you're the one who's going to take the fall.
If you've got a bunch of weak,
wimpy soldiers too terrified to actually fight.
Which is precisely why I'm telling you to train them properly.
Surely there's a more effective method than tossing.
You don't have to be so domineering.
You've got to be kidding me. The most
crucial part of my job is getting them all tough enough.
How are those cowards going to harden up if I'm nice to them?
You're doing fine. Just take it easy.
It's the journey that matters, not
what's happening. How is he going to get
away with yelling at him like that? Isn't the commander his boss?
I do not drone. I inspire.
Check this out. Dendritic cells. Their role
is to present invading bacteria and virus infected cells as antigens,
then to notify other immune system cells of the dangerous breach.
They also help nurture T cells to maturity.
Wow. Did you say. You heard me.
Now, where are those two shrimp? No,
they were classmates all the way through thymus school. Oh,
that kid in the glasses is Commander Helper T,
He looks ready to kick some ass, and senpai looks so scrawny.
Wait, he. He's crying. I hardly. There's
no way that's the same guy who
screams at us all during drills.
It certainly looks that way for this story.
We're going to have to go way back.
All right, you useless runts. Welcome to hell.
Listen up. The purpose of this thymus
is to separate future T-cells from the wannabe cells.
We are the one and only T-cells. Oh.
Oh, oh, oh. We are the one and only
cells. Hey, we got a tiny train to the pray alter.
Is he? Selseleh? We are the one and only. He sells hay.
Oh ho ho! Get ready, numbskulls. I'm
going to push you so hard you'll
wish you were back in the bone marrow
thymic epithelial cells. The epithelial cells that form the thymus.
They nurture lymphatic cells and aid in t cell specialization.
Can you handle that? Yes, sir. I'm.
Then it's time to begin. Let's go ahead
and kick things off with a test.
We're going to find out how you
maggots react to the appearance of an enemy antigen.
You'll be confronted with figure panels of various cells.
Your task is to properly determine which ones
are antigens and take them out.
Those among you who mistakenly assault a common
cell and those of you who fail
to attack even a single antigen will be disqualified. Understood, sir.
By the time you reach the end of the exam,
only the best of the best of the best will be standing.
So go hard or go home. Yes, sir.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, is that it is. That's totally an antigen panel. Awesome.
Yeah. Nicely done. Whoa. That was insane.
Can you believe this guy? He split the panel in two.
Hey, no fair. I was totally gonna smash that panel.
And who the heck jumps on somebody else's head like that?
Sorry. Had to be done. I needed to use it as a springboard.
It made for the most effective route to strike the panel.
You've got to quicken up your reaction
time and get far more efficient.
Otherwise you're going to end up as just another washout. You jerk.
Got hurt. God, I'd rather not expend
any energy on you. All right.
Jeez, he flicked her forehead. How bad could it really hurt?
Just ignore him. No point indulging in a hopeless cause.
Stop crying and start running. Trainee Pretty
wide talent gap in this group.
They're going to have to pick it up if they want to survive.
Oh, of course. I'd end up stuck in a dorm with you.
I guess the room assignments aren't based on aptitude.
Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
Oh, the fact that you don't get it explains a lot.
Look, I'm going to take the bottom bunk, all right?
Really? You're letting me take the top?
All that climbing up and down just wastes time.
You can return the favor by keeping
your climbing to a minimum so you don't annoy me.
It's crucial that I always get a full night's rest.
In fact, I'd prefer it if you
slept on the floor just to be safe.
Are you kidding me? That's. Way for us.
The tree? No, they're still you here.
I'm attempting to be civil, but it seems
force is the only thing you understand.
Good use of your free time. Is spying a good use of yours?
Not usually. I just happened to be walking,
by the way the two of you were behaving.
I figured you were trying to get kicked out.
You're wrong. Why would I want to do that?
You tell me. And so you're aware
these two empty beds, the cells that used
to sleep there, got washed out today.
Good reminder to keep working hard. See ya.
Day after day, the brutal, merciless training continued.
Somehow the cells survived each new challenge and avoided washing out. Take.
Get up tehsil. Either quit your bellyaching or drop out now, sir.
I'm not dropping out, sir. You can say it all you want,
but everybody knows that's how this is going to end.
Nothing personal. You're just not cut out for all this.
You've got to be the best of the best
in this class if you want any chance
of becoming a TSO. Right?
I will not fail.
All right, maggots, you are dismissed. Man, I'm exhausted.
I'm out there every day giving this all I got.
While you do nothing but drink your stupid tea.
Walk on, blondie. Unless you're looking for another flick to the forehead.
Come on, get up.
That should be enough for tonight. Yeah.
GA GA GA GA. You're lit. He's even stupider than I thought.
Georgie. Georgie. Come on, work it out.
Bam, bam, bam, bam. All right, let's crush this germ killer.
Whoop, bam. He can't possibly have this much energy after drills.
Immune cytolysis fist. Ultimate power. Secret art antigen crushing, super pulverizing.
On ultimate secret art. Could it be
more of a dork? Well, whatever. It has nothing to do with me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Duh duh duh duh
duh duh duh duh duh duh.
That right there is the real fire of youth.
You come out here to see if they'll
finally become friends, too? No, not really.
It's kind of one of those teen dramas.
I think there's a chance they become
real close. Yeah, maybe a little.
I'm rooting for him. I hope they both make it, don't you?
Oh. Oh, oh. We are the ones that work.
Cells at work.
Oh, we are the one and only
sells out. We go places Other cells are scared to go.
We fight battles. Other cells will never know.
We are the one and only cheese.
We've got a surprise test today for you worthless maggots.
So I hope you've been studying.
Don't look so excited, you Cretans. You
think you get a warning when an enemy germ shows up?
Those of you who haven't lived up
to your training today, you say goodbye.
This is the notorious, grueling, truly devastating positive selection exam.
The rules are the same as always.
Destroy any antigens you find while avoiding
the common cells for T cells.
This is simple, but for worthless failures
like you, it may prove difficult.
If you weaklings are good enough, then
this test should be a breeze.
Begin. All right. Should be a breeze, huh?
I got this. Yeah, I know that Head shape
target freaking sighted. Let's do this thing.
Guess who's first to become a target, huh?
Wait, but no. Disqualified. That panel is just
a common cell holding a pickling stone above his head.
Oh, come on.
Oh, really? I mean, how do we know he's not just
wearing the hat to hide the virus? Disqualified.
Very nice. What a punch. There you pass.
Stay alert. Now they've ramped up the difficulty on this test.
Wait. No, it's just a common cell in a disaster. Hood.
I got you.
Hm. All right. Come on. You can do this.
You have a habit of unconsciously closing your eyes whenever you attack.
Really? It's no wonder you can never land a punch.
Don't close your eyes when you're fighting.
Keep them open and on the target.
Huh? My, my. He next. Right? Right.
Oh, I'm so nervous. I'm starting to feel sick.
Here we go. You have a habit
of closing your eyes whenever you attack. Keep your eyes open.
Oh, man, that was a close one.
That guy's just a common cell holding up a pincushion.
Wait, is that a sewing kit? Right you are. Little T-cell.
Okay.
Jeez, I'm more nervous now than when I was on the course.
You are running out of time, trainee.
Take down those antigens.
Turn around. It's behind you.
Wait. What? To the right. The right.
Wait. Your right or my right? Get it together, moron.
My right. Your left behind. You
on your right. You're right. To the right. Where?
On the right. Run. You're almost out of time. Behind you.
It's immune. Cytosis Fist. Ultimate power. Secret energy crushing, super pulverizing clutch.
How the heck do you even know
about that? And you pass. Congratulations.
You should be celebrating. I mean, you did just pass.
So that was dumb luck. And if I'm being honest.
I don't think I'm worthy of being a T cell.
And of course you scored big. And I bet
they offered you the option to be a helper
or regulatory T cell instead of just a killer. Right? Mm hm.
Are you serious? It's not too late
to drop out if you're going to be like that.
You don't have any confidence. Then save
us both some time and quit.
What did you just say? Just so you're
aware, nobody's going to hear you.
Every time you decide to indulge in these moronic, maudlin moments.
Trust me, the working world doesn't have time for your self-pity.
Is that all you think this is? Everything's easy for you.
You're a freaking genius. You don't know
a damn thing about how I feel. Would you just shut up?
Go. It's about time you come to terms
with reality and stare down your own weakness. So open your eyes.
You're always going to have to push to succeed.
But you've never given up before now.
That's the thing that makes you great. That's your gift.
Actually care.
Gotcha. We won't hear me whining again. Good.
Thank you. I'm going to train until
I can take down any enemy with a single blow.
I'm going to have giant muscles. Better believe it.
Yeah. Yeah, you will. And you know what?
You just helped me figure out what I need to do.
Fighters on the front lines need guys like me.
Somebody's got to make sure you stay out of trouble.
If you're going to become a commander,
you really need to learn how to loosen up a little.
Your subordinates will never have a moment's peace.
You don't have to tell me. Believe it or not,
I'm well aware of that one. But I just need to relax a touch.
Right. I'm pretty sure that even I can manage that.
They're both so dumb.
And that's exactly how it happened. Oh, here is do or die out
there for the killer T-cells while you just sit around sipping tea.
Yeah, but that's because I need it.
You don't know how grueling desk work is.
Believe me, you've got it easy. You don't want to trade.
That actually explains so much about how they turned out, huh?
Why do you guys keep staring at us like that? Uh.
Uh. Hey, wait. What are you looking at? Yeah.
Give us those photos. Burn them. Throw them all to ash.
Not a chance. This data is absolutely crucial to the system's survival.
Then let the system fail. Burn them. Burn every last one.
I doubt those two will ever stop being ridiculous.
They haven't changed since we were little.
Key
Oh, it's the.
Next time on cells at work. Staphylococcus aureus.
I think he's asking you to watch.
Yeah, He's asking you to please watch.
