1. 9:13. Personal note.
Copy !req
2. When I was a little kid,
Copy !req
3. my mother told me
not to stare into the sun.
Copy !req
4. So once, when I was six, I did.
Copy !req
5. The doctors didn't know
if my eyes would ever heal.
Copy !req
6. I was terrified,
Copy !req
7. alone in that darkness.
Copy !req
8. Slowly,
Copy !req
9. daylight crept in
through the bandages
Copy !req
10. and I could see.
Copy !req
11. But something else
had changed inside me.
Copy !req
12. That day
I had my first headache.
Copy !req
13. Jenna, come back here.
Copy !req
14. Max, Max, can I do it?
Copy !req
15. - Jenna.
- What's 322 times 491?
Copy !req
16. 158,102. Right?
Copy !req
17. Right!
Copy !req
18. OK, 73 divided by 22?
Copy !req
19. 3.318... 18... 18...
Copy !req
20. ..18... 18... 18... 18...
Copy !req
21. 12:45.
Restate my assumptions.
Copy !req
22. Mathematics
is the language of nature.
Copy !req
23. Everything around us
Copy !req
24. can be represented and
understood through numbers.
Copy !req
25. If you graph the numbers
of any system, patterns emerge.
Copy !req
26. Therefore, there are patterns
everywhere in nature.
Copy !req
27. The cycling
of disease epidemics;
Copy !req
28. the wax and wane
of caribou populations;
Copy !req
29. sun spot cycles;
Copy !req
30. the rise and fall of the Nile.
Copy !req
31. So, what about
the stock market?
Copy !req
32. The universe of numbers that
represents the global economy.
Copy !req
33. Millions of hands at work,
billions of minds.
Copy !req
34. A vast network, screaming
with life. An organism.
Copy !req
35. A natural organism.
Copy !req
36. My hypothesis:
Copy !req
37. Within the stock market,
there is a pattern as well...
Copy !req
38. Right in front of me,
Copy !req
39. hiding behind the numbers.
Always has been.
Copy !req
40. 12:50, press return.
Copy !req
41. Hello.
Copy !req
42. Maximillian Cohen, please.
Copy !req
43. - Yeah?
- Hi, it's Marcy Dawson.
Copy !req
44. I'm a partner at the predictive
strategy firm...
Copy !req
45. - I told you...
- Sorry I haven't called.
Copy !req
46. I hoped we could have lunch
tomorrow. Say one o'clock?
Copy !req
47. - Max, good.
- Hey, Devi.
Copy !req
48. - I grabbed you some samosas.
- Great.
Copy !req
49. - Your hair!
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
50. - You can't go out like that.
- It's fine.
Copy !req
51. - Don't worry.
- It's fine.
Copy !req
52. - You need a mom.
- I gotta go.
Copy !req
53. Max. Here, your samosas.
Copy !req
54. Thanks.
Copy !req
55. 16:23. Results.
Copy !req
56. Euclid predicts
NTC will break 100 tomorrow.
Copy !req
57. A good bet. Other anomalies:
Copy !req
58. It predicts PRO NET settling
at sixty-five and a quarter,
Copy !req
59. a career high.
Copy !req
60. Am I bothering you?
I'm sorry, I'll put it out.
Copy !req
61. Name's Lenny Meyer.
Copy !req
62. And you are?
Copy !req
63. Max.
Copy !req
64. Is that Max? Max...?
Copy !req
65. - Max Cohen.
- Cohen! Jewish.
Copy !req
66. It's OK. I'm a Jew too.
Do you practise?
Copy !req
67. No. I'm not interested
in religion.
Copy !req
68. - Did you ever hear of Kabbalah?
- No.
Copy !req
69. - Jewish mysticism.
- Look, I'm busy right here.
Copy !req
70. I understand.
Copy !req
71. But right now is a very exciting
moment in our history.
Copy !req
72. Right now is
a critical moment in time.
Copy !req
73. - Really?
- Yeah. It's very exciting.
Copy !req
74. Have you ever put on Tefillin?
You know Tefillin?
Copy !req
75. Yeah, I know, it looks strange.
It's an amazing tradition.
Copy !req
76. It has a tremendous power. It's
a mitzvah Jewish men should do.
Copy !req
77. Mitzvahs, good deeds.
They purify us.
Copy !req
78. Bring us closer to God.
Wanna try it?
Copy !req
79. - Shit.
- You all right, Max?
Copy !req
80. Please. Please, a small one.
Copy !req
81. 17:55. Personal note.
Second attack in under 24 hours.
Copy !req
82. Administered 80 milligrams
Promozine HCI
Copy !req
83. and six milligrams
Sumattrapan orally,
Copy !req
84. as well as one milligram
Dihydroric-atamine-mezilayte
Copy !req
85. by subcutaneous injection.
Copy !req
86. - Hi.
- Mr Cohen?
Copy !req
87. Marcy Dawson here again,
from Lancet-Percy.
Copy !req
88. I checked my schedule and I'm
in Chinatown tomorrow at three.
Copy !req
89. I'd love to stop by to meet you.
Copy !req
90. It'll be worth it for us.
How's three sound?
Copy !req
91. - How did you get my address?
- I got it from Columbia.
Copy !req
92. Three it is.
Looking forward to it.
Copy !req
93. Wait a minute...
Copy !req
94. Max.
Copy !req
95. Stop thinking, Max.
Copy !req
96. Just feel. Use your intuition.
Copy !req
97. - What did you think of Hamlet?
- I didn't get to it.
Copy !req
98. It's been a month. You haven't
taken a single break.
Copy !req
99. I'm so close.
Copy !req
100. Have you met the new fish
my niece bought me?
Copy !req
101. I named her lcarus after you,
my renegade pupil.
Copy !req
102. You fly too high,
you'll get burnt.
Copy !req
103. I look at you,
I see myself 30 years ago.
Copy !req
104. My greatest pupil.
Published at 16, PhD at 20.
Copy !req
105. But life
isn't just mathematics, Max.
Copy !req
106. I spent 40 years searching
for patterns in Pi.
Copy !req
107. - I found nothing.
- You found things.
Copy !req
108. I found things...
Copy !req
109. but not a pattern.
Copy !req
110. Not a pattern.
Copy !req
111. 11:22. Personal note.
Copy !req
112. Sol died a little when
he stopped research on Pi.
Copy !req
113. It wasn't just the stroke.
Copy !req
114. He stopped caring.
Copy !req
115. How could he stop,
Copy !req
116. when he was so close to seeing
Pi for what it really is?
Copy !req
117. How could you stop believing
that there is a pattern,
Copy !req
118. an ordered shape behind those
numbers, when you were so close?
Copy !req
119. We see the simplicity
of the circle,
Copy !req
120. we see the maddening complexity
of the endless numbers,
Copy !req
121. 3.14 off into infinity.
Copy !req
122. Hey, Max.
Copy !req
123. Lenny Meyer.
Copy !req
124. I'll put it out.
Copy !req
125. So... What do you do?
Copy !req
126. I work with computers. Math.
Copy !req
127. Math? What kind of math?
Copy !req
128. Number theory. Research mostly.
Copy !req
129. No way.
I work with numbers myself.
Copy !req
130. I mean, not traditional.
I work with the Torah. Amazing!
Copy !req
131. Hebrew is all math.
It's all numbers.
Copy !req
132. You know that? Look.
Copy !req
133. Ancient Jews used Hebrew
as their numerical system.
Copy !req
134. Each letter's a number.
Copy !req
135. The Hebrew A, Aleph, is 1.
B, Bet, is 2.
Copy !req
136. Understand? But look,
the numbers are interrelated.
Copy !req
137. Take the Hebrew for father, ab.
Copy !req
138. Aleph, Bet.
Copy !req
139. 1, 2 equals 3.
Copy !req
140. The word for mother, haim.
Copy !req
141. Aleph, Mem.
Copy !req
142. 1, 40 equals 41.
The sum of 3 and 41, 44.
Copy !req
143. Right? Now, the Hebrew word for
child - mother, father, child.
Copy !req
144. Yelev.
Copy !req
145. That's 10, 30 and 4.
Copy !req
146. 44.
Copy !req
147. Torah is just
a long string of numbers.
Copy !req
148. Some say that it's a code,
sent to us from God.
Copy !req
149. That's kind of interesting.
Copy !req
150. That's kid's stuff,
check this out.
Copy !req
151. The Garden of Eden, Kadem.
Copy !req
152. Numerical translation, 144.
Copy !req
153. The value of tree of knowledge,
in the garden. Right?
Copy !req
154. Aat ha haim. 2, 33. 1, 44. 2, 33.
Copy !req
155. - You can take those numbers...
- Those are Fibonacci numbers.
Copy !req
156. They're...?
Copy !req
157. You know,
like the Fibonacci sequence?
Copy !req
158. Fibonacci?
Copy !req
159. Fibonacci is an ltalian
mathematician in the 13th.
Copy !req
160. If you divide 144 into 233,
Copy !req
161. - the result approaches Theta.
- Theta?
Copy !req
162. Theta. The Greek symbol for the
golden ratio, the golden spiral.
Copy !req
163. Wow.
Copy !req
164. I never saw that before.
Copy !req
165. That's like that series
you find in nature?
Copy !req
166. - Like the face of a sunflower?
- Wherever there are spirals.
Copy !req
167. See, there's math everywhere.
Copy !req
168. Hey, I... Max?
Copy !req
169. 13:26. Restate my assumptions.
Copy !req
170. can be represented
and understood through numbers.
Copy !req
171. patterns emerge.
Copy !req
172. Therefore, there are patterns
everywhere in nature.
Copy !req
173. So what about the stock market?
Copy !req
174. A universe of numbers that
represents the global economy.
Copy !req
175. Millions of human hands
at work, billions of minds.
Copy !req
176. A vast network screaming
with life. An organism.
Copy !req
177. A natural organism.
Copy !req
178. there is a pattern,
right in front of me,
Copy !req
179. playing with the numbers.
Always has been.
Copy !req
180. 10:18, press return.
Copy !req
181. Max.
Copy !req
182. Max.
Copy !req
183. What the...?
Copy !req
184. Shit!
Copy !req
185. Aaargh! God damn it!
Copy !req
186. 10:28. Results.
Copy !req
187. Bullshit. Euclid predicts AAR
at six and a half.
Copy !req
188. AAR hasn't been
beneath 40 in 20 years.
Copy !req
189. Explanations for anomaly:
Human error.
Copy !req
190. 11:11. Results.
Copy !req
191. Failed treatments to date:
Copy !req
192. Beta blockers, calcium channel
blockers, adrenaline injections,
Copy !req
193. high-dose ibuprofen, steroids,
Copy !req
194. trigger metastics,
violent exercise, caffeine,
Copy !req
195. acupuncture, marijuana,
Copy !req
196. percodan, midrin, tenormen,
sanser, homeopathics...
Copy !req
197. No results.
Copy !req
198. No results.
Copy !req
199. Euclid crashed.
Copy !req
200. - I lost all my data, hardware.
- Your mainframe?
Copy !req
201. Burnt.
Copy !req
202. What... What's happened?
Copy !req
203. First, I get
these crazy low picks,
Copy !req
204. then it spit out
this string of numbers.
Copy !req
205. I never saw anything like it.
And then it fries.
Copy !req
206. - It crashed.
- You have a print out?
Copy !req
207. - Of what?
- Of the picks, the number?
Copy !req
208. - I threw it out.
- What number did it spit out?
Copy !req
209. I don't know,
a string of digits.
Copy !req
210. - How many?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
211. What is it, 100, 1,000, 216?
How many?
Copy !req
212. Probably around 200. Why?
Copy !req
213. I dealt with some bugs
back in my Pi days.
Copy !req
214. I wondered
if it was like one I ran into.
Copy !req
215. Have you met Archimedes?
Copy !req
216. The one with black spots. See?
Copy !req
217. You remember
Archimedes of Syracuse? Eh?
Copy !req
218. The king asks Archimedes
to determine if a present
Copy !req
219. he has received
is actually solid gold.
Copy !req
220. Unsolved problem at the time.
Copy !req
221. It tortures the great Greek
mathematician for weeks.
Copy !req
222. Insomnia haunts him and he
twists and turns in his bed
Copy !req
223. for nights on end. Finally,
his equally exhausted wife,
Copy !req
224. forced to share a bed
with this genius,
Copy !req
225. convinces him
to take a bath, to relax.
Copy !req
226. While he's entering the tub,
he notices the bath water rise.
Copy !req
227. Displacement -
a way to determine volume,
Copy !req
228. and thus a way
to determine density.
Copy !req
229. Weight over volume. And thus
Archimedes solves the problem.
Copy !req
230. He screams "Eureka!"
and he is so overwhelmed,
Copy !req
231. he runs naked through the
streets to the king's palace
Copy !req
232. to report his discovery.
Copy !req
233. Now, what is the moral
of the story?
Copy !req
234. That a breakthrough will come.
Copy !req
235. Wrong! The point of the story
is the wife.
Copy !req
236. Listen to your wife,
she'll give you perspective.
Copy !req
237. Meaning, you need a break.
Copy !req
238. You must take a bath
or you'll get nowhere.
Copy !req
239. There will be no order,
only chaos.
Copy !req
240. Go home, Max,
and you take a bath.
Copy !req
241. Excuse me.
Can I take a look at the paper?
Copy !req
242. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
243. Six and a half.
Copy !req
244. Hey...
Copy !req
245. Hey!
Copy !req
246. The paper, please.
Copy !req
247. Mr Cohen? Perfect timing.
I was going to head home.
Copy !req
248. - Who are you?
- Marcy Dawson. We were meeting.
Copy !req
249. It's really not...
Copy !req
250. It's such a pleasure
to finally meet you.
Copy !req
251. - I studied your paper...
- Excuse me.
Copy !req
252. - Let's take my car.
- I can't.
Copy !req
253. Mr Cohen...
Copy !req
254. Yes!
Copy !req
255. I just threw out something.
I didn't realise I needed it.
Copy !req
256. Just a print-out.
I lost my data.
Copy !req
257. Whoa! I'm sorry. Max.
How're you doing? Lenny Meyer.
Copy !req
258. - Where you going?
- Up there.
Copy !req
259. You got five minutes?
Do you wanna try Tefillin?
Copy !req
260. - Not now.
- I've a car to go to the Shul.
Copy !req
261. - You got a car?
- That's my friend, Ephraim.
Copy !req
262. - Let's go.
- Great.
Copy !req
263. When you said you're Max Cohen,
Copy !req
264. I didn't realise
you were the Max Cohen.
Copy !req
265. Your work's revolutionary.
It's inspired the work we do.
Copy !req
266. - It has?
- Very much so.
Copy !req
267. The only difference is, we're
not looking at the stock market.
Copy !req
268. Go ahead.
Wrap that round your hand.
Copy !req
269. We're searching for a pattern
in the Torah.
Copy !req
270. - What kind?
- We're not sure.
Copy !req
271. All we know is
it's 216 digits long.
Copy !req
272. - OK, stand up, please, Max.
- 216?
Copy !req
273. That's right. You've gotta
be quiet now. Stand up.
Copy !req
274. - 216?
- Shh. This goes on your head.
Copy !req
275. Look at me, Max. Right here.
Copy !req
276. There you go.
Copy !req
277. All right. Now, we'll say
a prayer together.
Copy !req
278. Repeat after me: Shma Yisroel.
Copy !req
279. - Shma Yisroel.
- Right.
Copy !req
280. - Adenoi Eloihenu.
- Adenoi Eloihenu.
Copy !req
281. - Adenoi Echod.
- Adenoi Echod.
Copy !req
282. Now, what's up, Max?
Copy !req
283. What is this 216 number, Sol?
Copy !req
284. Excuse me?
Copy !req
285. You asked me if I'd seen
a 216-digit number.
Copy !req
286. Oh, yeah. You mean the bug.
Copy !req
287. I ran into it working on Pi.
Copy !req
288. - What do you mean ran into it?
- Max, what's this about?
Copy !req
289. There are these religious Jews
I've been talking to.
Copy !req
290. Religious Jews?
Copy !req
291. Yeah, Hasids,
the guys with beards.
Copy !req
292. I know them.
Copy !req
293. I know one in a coffee shop.
He's a number theorist.
Copy !req
294. The Torah is his data set.
Copy !req
295. He says they're after
a 216-digit number in the Torah.
Copy !req
296. Come on, it's just coincidence.
Copy !req
297. There's something else, though.
Copy !req
298. What?
Copy !req
299. You remember those weird
stock picks?
Copy !req
300. - Yesterday's stock picks? Yes.
- They were correct.
Copy !req
301. I got two picks on the nose.
Smack on the nose, Sol.
Copy !req
302. Something's going on.
Copy !req
303. It has to do with that number.
There's an answer in it.
Copy !req
304. Max... Come with me.
Copy !req
305. The ancient Japanese
considered the Go board
Copy !req
306. to be a microcosm
of the universe.
Copy !req
307. Although, when it's empty,
it appears simple and ordered,
Copy !req
308. the possibilities of gameplay
are endless.
Copy !req
309. No two Go games are alike,
just like snowflakes.
Copy !req
310. So, the Go board
actually represents
Copy !req
311. an extremely complex
and chaotic universe.
Copy !req
312. And that's the truth
of our world, Max.
Copy !req
313. It can't be
easily summed up with math.
Copy !req
314. There is no simple pattern.
Copy !req
315. But as the game progresses, the
possibilities become smaller.
Copy !req
316. The board takes on order.
Soon, every move's predictable.
Copy !req
317. So?
Copy !req
318. So maybe, even though
we're not aware of it,
Copy !req
319. there is a pattern, an order
underlying every Go game.
Copy !req
320. Maybe it's like the pattern
in the stock market?
Copy !req
321. The Torah? This 216 number?
Copy !req
322. - It's insanity.
- Maybe it's genius.
Copy !req
323. - I must get that number.
- Hold on! You're losing it.
Copy !req
324. You have to breathe.
Listen to yourself.
Copy !req
325. You're connecting my computer
bug with one you might've had
Copy !req
326. and some religious hogwash.
Copy !req
327. If you want the number 216,
you can find it everywhere.
Copy !req
328. 216 steps from your street
corner to your front door,
Copy !req
329. 216 seconds
you spend in the elevator
Copy !req
330. When your mind becomes obsessed
Copy !req
331. you filter everything else out
and find that thing everywhere.
Copy !req
332. 320, 450, 22, whatever.
Copy !req
333. You've chosen 216 and you'll
find it everywhere in nature.
Copy !req
334. But, Max,
Copy !req
335. as soon as you discard
scientific rigour,
Copy !req
336. you are no longer
a mathematician,
Copy !req
337. you're a numerologist.
Copy !req
338. Mr Cohen?
Copy !req
339. Mr Cohen...
Copy !req
340. God damn it! I'm sick
of you following me.
Copy !req
341. I'm not interested in money.
I want to understand our world.
Copy !req
342. I don't deal with materialists
like you.
Copy !req
343. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
Copy !req
344. I admit
we've been too aggressive.
Copy !req
345. But all I ask is that
you give me five minutes.
Copy !req
346. - As a token, accept this.
- I don't want your money.
Copy !req
347. The suitcase isn't filled
with 50s, or gold, or diamonds.
Copy !req
348. Just silicon. A Ming Mecca chip.
Copy !req
349. Ming Mecca? They're not even
de-classified yet.
Copy !req
350. You're right, they're not. But
Lancet-Percy has many friends.
Copy !req
351. Beautiful, isn't it?
Copy !req
352. Do you know how rare these are?
Copy !req
353. What do you...?
Copy !req
354. Mr Cohen?
Copy !req
355. - Are you OK?
- No.
Copy !req
356. Mr Coh... Sir, are you sick?
Copy !req
357. Hey!
Copy !req
358. C'mon, buddy. Get up.
Copy !req
359. It's Coney lsland, last stop.
Copy !req
360. Here. For your nose.
Copy !req
361. Jenna, come back! Jenna!
Copy !req
362. Jenna, come back here.
Copy !req
363. - Farrouhk?
- No, it's Max, from next door.
Copy !req
364. Max. Is everything all right?
Copy !req
365. - Do you have any iodine?
- Did you cut yourself?
Copy !req
366. No, it's to stain a slide.
Copy !req
367. Ah. Science.
The pursuit of knowledge.
Copy !req
368. One second.
Copy !req
369. You surprised me.
I thought you were Farrouhk.
Copy !req
370. Here we are.
Copy !req
371. What are you examining?
A potato?
Copy !req
372. No. Just something
for my computer. Thanks.
Copy !req
373. - Shalom.
- Lenny, it's Max Cohen.
Copy !req
374. Max. What're you doing now?
Copy !req
375. I was thinking about
our conversation last night.
Copy !req
376. - That's good.
- I wanna help.
Copy !req
377. 4:42. New evidence.
Copy !req
378. Remember Pythagoras.
Copy !req
379. Mathematician, cult leader.
Athens, circa 500 BC.
Copy !req
380. Major belief: The universe
is made of numbers.
Copy !req
381. Major contribution:
Copy !req
382. The golden ratio.
Copy !req
383. Best represented geometrically
as the golden rectangle.
Copy !req
384. Visually, there exists
a graceful equilibrium
Copy !req
385. between its length and width.
Copy !req
386. When it's squared, it leaves a
smaller golden rectangle behind,
Copy !req
387. with the same unique ratio.
Copy !req
388. The squaring can continue,
smaller and smaller,
Copy !req
389. to infinity.
Copy !req
390. 11:18. More evidence.
Copy !req
391. Remember da Vinci. Artist,
inventor, sculptor, naturalist.
Copy !req
392. ltaly, C15th.
Copy !req
393. Rediscovered the perfection
of the golden rectangle
Copy !req
394. and pencilled it
into his masterpieces.
Copy !req
395. Connecting a curve through the
concentric golden rectangles,
Copy !req
396. You generate the mythical
golden spiral.
Copy !req
397. Pythagoras loved this shape,
for he found it in nature -
Copy !req
398. a nautilus shell, rams' horns,
whirlpools, tornadoes,
Copy !req
399. our fingerprints, our DNA
and even our Milky Way.
Copy !req
400. 9:22. Personal note.
Copy !req
401. When I was a little kid,
Copy !req
402. my mother told me
not to stare into the sun.
Copy !req
403. So once, I did.
Copy !req
404. At first, the brightness
was overwhelming,
Copy !req
405. but I kept looking,
forcing myself not to blink.
Copy !req
406. And then the brightness
began to dissolve.
Copy !req
407. My pupils shrank to pinholes
and everything came into focus.
Copy !req
408. And for a moment I understood.
Copy !req
409. My new hypothesis:
if we're built from spirals,
Copy !req
410. while living in a giant spiral,
Copy !req
411. then everything we do
is infused with the spiral.
Copy !req
412. 10:15.
Copy !req
413. Personal note.
Copy !req
414. It's fair to say
I'm stepping out on a limb.
Copy !req
415. But I'm on the edge
where it happens.
Copy !req
416. I'm happy you...
Copy !req
417. Look, what do you want
in exchange for the chip?
Copy !req
418. You tech' guys.
I think you know what we want.
Copy !req
419. - I may not find anything.
- We'll take the risk.
Copy !req
420. First, I want you
to call off the surveillance.
Copy !req
421. Done. Anything else?
Copy !req
422. Yeah, I'm a very private person.
Just knock on my door
Copy !req
423. and leave the suitcase outside.
I don't wanna talk to anybody.
Copy !req
424. - How do I know you're home?
- I'll knock back.
Copy !req
425. - The Torah.
- Coffee.
Copy !req
426. What is it?
Copy !req
427. In Hebrew,
characters and numbers.
Copy !req
428. No, the 216 number. What is it?
Copy !req
429. I don't know.
Copy !req
430. If you can find it,
maybe we can figure it out.
Copy !req
431. - Can you really find it?
- If it's there, I'll find it.
Copy !req
432. Max.
Copy !req
433. Jenna.
Copy !req
434. - Can we do it?
- Not now.
Copy !req
435. Please, Max?
Copy !req
436. Happy birthday, Euclid.
Copy !req
437. 18:30. Press return.
Copy !req
438. 18:33. Press return.
Copy !req
439. Hell!
Copy !req
440. You fuck! You fuck!
Copy !req
441. Fuck!
Copy !req
442. Fuck!
Copy !req
443. Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
Copy !req
444. Fuck you!
Copy !req
445. Yes, hello?
Copy !req
446. He's busy right now, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
447. You were screaming.
Copy !req
448. Who said you could
put locks on the door, Mr Cohen?
Copy !req
449. Are you OK?
Copy !req
450. You're out, you hear me?
Out of here!
Copy !req
451. - I've had it with you!
- Get out!
Copy !req
452. Let's go.
Copy !req
453. God damn it, no! You're the one
out of here, mister.
Copy !req
454. Get out!
Copy !req
455. Get out! Get out!
Copy !req
456. Get out!
Copy !req
457. Are you OK?
Copy !req
458. Get out!
Copy !req
459. You bastard.
Copy !req
460. Nineteen and a half.
Copy !req
461. Thirty-nine and an eighth.
Copy !req
462. Six and three quarters.
Copy !req
463. Seven and an eighth.
Copy !req
464. Twelve and a quarter.
Copy !req
465. I know these numbers.
Copy !req
466. They're going down...
down... down.
Copy !req
467. You lied to me.
Copy !req
468. You have it?
Copy !req
469. OK, sit down.
Copy !req
470. I gave up before I pinpointed
it, but my guess is that...
Copy !req
471. certain problems cause computers
to get stuck in a loop.
Copy !req
472. The loop leads to meltdown,
but just before they crash
Copy !req
473. they become aware
of their own structure.
Copy !req
474. The computer has a sense
of its own silicon nature
Copy !req
475. and it prints out
its ingredients.
Copy !req
476. The computer becomes conscious?
Copy !req
477. In... In... some ways...
I guess.
Copy !req
478. Studying the pattern
made Euclid conscious of itself.
Copy !req
479. It died spitting out the number.
Consciousness is the number?
Copy !req
480. No, Max. It's only a nasty bug.
Copy !req
481. - It's more than that.
- No. It's a dead end!
Copy !req
482. - There's nothing there!
- It's a door, Sol. A door.
Copy !req
483. A door to a cliff, you're
driving yourself over the edge.
Copy !req
484. - You need to stop.
- You were afraid.
Copy !req
485. - That's why you quit.
- I got burnt.
Copy !req
486. - Come on.
- It caused my stroke!
Copy !req
487. That's bullshit! It's
mathematics, numbers, ideas.
Copy !req
488. Mathematicians
should go to the edge.
Copy !req
489. - You taught me that.
- It's death!
Copy !req
490. You can't tell me what it is.
Copy !req
491. You've retreated to your Go
and books and goldfish.
Copy !req
492. Max, go home.
Copy !req
493. - You're not satisfied.
- Go home. Get out...
Copy !req
494. I'm gonna see it!
Copy !req
495. - Get out!
- I'm gonna understand it.
Copy !req
496. Hey!
Copy !req
497. Hey!
Copy !req
498. Hey!
Copy !req
499. - Who are you working for?
- Me.
Copy !req
500. - Who sent you?
- I'm a student.
Copy !req
501. - Gimme that.
- I've an assignment for class.
Copy !req
502. Leave me alone.
Copy !req
503. - Marcy. What's the matter?
- Let's go for a ride, Max.
Copy !req
504. I can't. I have work.
Copy !req
505. We had a deal, Max.
Now, let's get in the car.
Copy !req
506. - Don't ever touch me!
- Max! Max!
Copy !req
507. - Help!
- Max.
Copy !req
508. - Leave me alone!
- Max, come here.
Copy !req
509. Max. Where're you going, Max?
Stop, Max!
Copy !req
510. - Max! God damn it!
- Help! Help!
Copy !req
511. Help!
Copy !req
512. - Get him!
- I got him.
Copy !req
513. Come here, Max.
Copy !req
514. Get outta here.
Copy !req
515. - Where'd he go?
- He's over there.
Copy !req
516. Max.
Copy !req
517. Leave me alone!
Copy !req
518. - I got him.
- Get off of me!
Copy !req
519. - Help me! Help!
- Get over here!
Copy !req
520. - Sit down and shut the hell up.
- Calm down.
Copy !req
521. Didn't your mother ever tell you
not to play with matches?
Copy !req
522. The market's going to crash.
Copy !req
523. I didn't do anything.
I don't play the market.
Copy !req
524. Be careful where you throw out
your trash.
Copy !req
525. How could you do that?
Copy !req
526. You gave faulty information.
You dangled the carrot,
Copy !req
527. but only gave us
part of the code.
Copy !req
528. Now give us the rest
to set it right.
Copy !req
529. You bastards!
How could you be so stupid?
Copy !req
530. Max, you just don't get it.
Copy !req
531. I don't give a shit about you,
just what's in your head!
Copy !req
532. If you won't help us, we'll
comply with the laws of nature.
Copy !req
533. Survival of the fittest -
and we've got the fucking gun!
Copy !req
534. - Max! Come here!
- Lenny? Lenny!
Copy !req
535. - Hey!
- C'mon, get in here. Hurry!
Copy !req
536. Stay down! Stay down.
Copy !req
537. We've been looking for you.
Copy !req
538. - What's going on?
- You have the number?
Copy !req
539. What's going on? What is it?
Copy !req
540. What're you doing?
Get off of me!
Copy !req
541. Where's the number?
Copy !req
542. It's not on me. It's in my head.
Copy !req
543. You memorised it?
Did you give it to them?
Copy !req
544. - Who?
- Those Wall Street bastards.
Copy !req
545. - What do you care?
- Answer me.
Copy !req
546. Listen. This is really big.
Copy !req
547. I don't wanna hurt you.
Did you give it to them?
Copy !req
548. They've got part of it. Let go!
Copy !req
549. Damn it!
Copy !req
550. - They're using it.
- Using what?
Copy !req
551. Shut up! Impetuous little runt!
Copy !req
552. - Let go!
- No, don't!
Copy !req
553. Max.
Copy !req
554. Max.
Copy !req
555. Max.
Copy !req
556. Max.
Copy !req
557. You're all right.
Copy !req
558. I'm Rabbi Cohen.
Cohen, like you.
Copy !req
559. I'm sorry for what Lenny did.
He's been reprimanded.
Copy !req
560. It's not our way. Are you OK?
Copy !req
561. Yeah.
Copy !req
562. Max, you have
to give us the number.
Copy !req
563. What is it?
Copy !req
564. The Talmud tells us
it began 2,000 years ago,
Copy !req
565. when the Romans destroyed
the second temple.
Copy !req
566. What is this?
Copy !req
567. Max, you'll understand
if you listen.
Copy !req
568. The Romans also destroyed
our priesthood, the Cohanim.
Copy !req
569. And with their deaths, they
destroyed our greatest secret.
Copy !req
570. In the centre of the temple
was the heart of Jewish life,
Copy !req
571. the holy of holies.
Copy !req
572. It was the earthly residence
of our God.
Copy !req
573. The one God.
Copy !req
574. It housed the Ark
of the Tabernacle,
Copy !req
575. which stored the original 10
Commandments
Copy !req
576. which God gave to Moses.
Copy !req
577. Only one man was allowed
to enter this holy of holies
Copy !req
578. on one day, the holiest day
of the year, Yom Kippur.
Copy !req
579. On the Day of Atonement,
Copy !req
580. all of lsrael
would descend upon Jerusalem
Copy !req
581. to watch the High Priest,
the Cohen Godul,
Copy !req
582. make his trip
to the holy of holies.
Copy !req
583. If the High Priest was pure,
he would emerge moments later
Copy !req
584. and we'd have a prosperous year.
Copy !req
585. It meant we were one year closer
to the Messianic age.
Copy !req
586. But, if he was impure,
he would die instantly
Copy !req
587. and it meant we were doomed.
Copy !req
588. The High Priest
had one ritual to perform there.
Copy !req
589. He had to intone a single word.
Copy !req
590. Yeah?
Copy !req
591. That word was
the true name of God.
Copy !req
592. So?
Copy !req
593. The true name,
which only the Cohanim knew,
Copy !req
594. was 216 letters long.
Copy !req
595. Are you telling me that...
Copy !req
596. That the number in my head
is the true name of God.
Copy !req
597. Yes! It's the key
to the Messianic age.
Copy !req
598. It will take us closer
to the Garden of Eden.
Copy !req
599. As the temple burnt,
the Talmud tells us
Copy !req
600. the High Priest
walked into the flames.
Copy !req
601. He took the key to the top
of the building,
Copy !req
602. the heavens opened
and received the key
Copy !req
603. from the priest's
outstretched hand.
Copy !req
604. We have been looking
for that key ever since.
Copy !req
605. And you may have found it.
Copy !req
606. That's what happened.
Copy !req
607. I saw God.
Copy !req
608. No. You are not pure. You cannot
see God unless you are pure.
Copy !req
609. No... I saw everything.
Copy !req
610. You saw nothing, only a glimpse.
There's so much more.
Copy !req
611. We can unlock the door
and show God we're pure again.
Copy !req
612. You're not pure.
How are you pure? I found it!
Copy !req
613. Who do you think you are?
You are only a vessel from God.
Copy !req
614. You're carrying a delivery
meant for us!
Copy !req
615. It was given to me.
Copy !req
616. It's inside of me.
It's changing me.
Copy !req
617. It's killing you! Because you
are not ready to receive it.
Copy !req
618. It's just a number.
Copy !req
619. I'm sure you've written down
every 216-digit number.
Copy !req
620. You've translated all of them.
Copy !req
621. You've intoned them all.
Haven't you?
Copy !req
622. What's it gotten you?
Copy !req
623. The number is nothing.
Copy !req
624. It's the meaning.
Copy !req
625. The syntax.
It's what's between the numbers.
Copy !req
626. You haven't understood it.
Copy !req
627. It's because it's not for you.
Copy !req
628. I've got it. I've got it!
Copy !req
629. I understand it. And I'm gonna
see it. Rabbi, I was chosen.
Copy !req
630. 17:13. Personal note.
Getting faster...
Copy !req
631. You stare into space like that,
you could go blind.
Copy !req
632. What can the eyes
do without the brain?
Copy !req
633. 14:50.
Copy !req
634. 15:10.
Copy !req
635. 16:55.
Copy !req
636. 10:35.
Copy !req
637. Already, I'm beginning to see.
Copy !req
638. Can I help you?
Copy !req
639. Sol?
Copy !req
640. Were you a friend?
Copy !req
641. - What do you mean?
- He had a second stroke.
Copy !req
642. No! No!
Copy !req
643. No!
Copy !req
644. Three! Five! Nine!
Copy !req
645. Ten! Eight! Six! Five! Two!
Copy !req
646. Five.
Copy !req
647. Eight.
Copy !req
648. Nine.
Copy !req
649. Seven.
Copy !req
650. No, Max. No.
Copy !req
651. Six.
Copy !req
652. Stay with me, Max.
Copy !req
653. Max.
Copy !req
654. No!
Copy !req
655. It's all right.
Copy !req
656. It's all right.
Copy !req
657. 17:22. Personal note.
When I was a little kid,
Copy !req
658. my mother told me
not to stare into the sun.
Copy !req
659. So once, when I was six,
I did.
Copy !req
660. Max, Max. Look.
Copy !req
661. Pretty, huh?
Copy !req
662. Can we do it, Max? Can we?
Copy !req
663. How about 255 times 183?
Copy !req
664. I got it! What's the answer?
Copy !req
665. I don't know. What is it?
Copy !req
666. 46,665. See?
Copy !req
667. How about 748 divided by 238?
Copy !req
668. I got it. What's the answer?
Copy !req
