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 bandagesCopy !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 we do it?Copy !req
15. Jenna.Copy !req
16. What's 322 times 491?Copy !req
17. 158,102. Right?Copy !req
18. Right!Copy !req
19. OK, 73 divided by 22?Copy !req
20. 3.318... 18... 18...Copy !req
21. 18... 18... 18... 18...Copy !req
22. 12:45.
Restate my assumptions.Copy !req
23. Mathematics
is the language of nature.Copy !req
24. Everything around usCopy !req
25. can be represented and
understood through numbers.Copy !req
26. If you graph the numbers
of any system, patterns emerge.Copy !req
27. Therefore, there are patterns
everywhere in nature.Copy !req
28. Evidence...Copy !req
29. The cycling of disease epidemics,Copy !req
30. the wax and wane of caribou populations,Copy !req
31. sun spot cycles,Copy !req
32. the rise and fall of the Nile.Copy !req
33. So, what about the stock market?Copy !req
34. The universe of numbers that
represents the global economy.Copy !req
35. Millions of human hands at work,
billions of minds.Copy !req
36. A vast network screaming with life.
An organism.Copy !req
37. A natural organism.Copy !req
38. My hypothesis...Copy !req
39. Within the stock market,
there is a pattern as well...Copy !req
40. Right in front of me,Copy !req
41. hiding behind the numbers.
Always has been.Copy !req
42. 12:50, press return.Copy !req
43. - Hello.
- Maximillian Cohen, please.Copy !req
44. - Yeah?
- Hi, it's Marcy Dawson.Copy !req
45. You might remember me, I'm a partner at
the predictive strategy firm, Lancet-Percy.Copy !req
46. - I told you...
- I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch,Copy !req
47. but I was hoping
we could have lunch tomorrow.Copy !req
48. Say 1:00 o'clock?Copy !req
49. - Max, good.
- Hey, Devi.Copy !req
50. - I grabbed you some samosas.
- Great.Copy !req
51. Your hair!Copy !req
52. What are you doing? What are you doing?Copy !req
53. - Your hair, you can't go out like that.
- It's fine.Copy !req
54. - Don't worry.
- It's fine.Copy !req
55. - You need a mom.
- I gotta go.Copy !req
56. Max.Copy !req
57. Here, your samosas.Copy !req
58. Thanks.Copy !req
59. 16:23. Results.Copy !req
60. Euclid predicts NTC
will break 100 tomorrow.Copy !req
61. A good bet.Copy !req
62. Other interesting anomalies...Copy !req
63. Euclid predicts PRO NET settling
at sixty-five and a quarter,Copy !req
64. a career high.Copy !req
65. Am I bothering you?Copy !req
66. I'm sorry, I'll put it out.Copy !req
67. Name's Lenny Meyer.Copy !req
68. And you are?Copy !req
69. Max.Copy !req
70. Is that Max? Max? Max...Copy !req
71. - Max Cohen.
- Cohen! Jewish.Copy !req
72. It's OK. I'm a Jew, too.Copy !req
73. You, uh, practise?Copy !req
74. No. I'm not interested in religion.Copy !req
75. - Did you ever hear of Kabbalah?
- No.Copy !req
76. - Jewish mysticism.
- Look, I'm kinda busy right here.Copy !req
77. I understand.Copy !req
78. It's just that right now is a very exciting
moment in our history.Copy !req
79. Right now, it is a critical moment in time.Copy !req
80. - Really?
- Yeah. It's very exciting.Copy !req
81. Have you ever put on Tefillin?
You know Tefillin?Copy !req
82. Yeah, I know it looks strange.
It's an amazing tradition.Copy !req
83. It has a tremendous amount of power.
It's a mitzvah for all Jewish men to do.Copy !req
84. Mitzvahs, good deeds.
They purify us.Copy !req
85. Bring us closer to God.
You wanna try it?Copy !req
86. Shit.Copy !req
87. You all right? You all right, Max?Copy !req
88. Please. Please, a small one.Copy !req
89. 17:55. Personal note.
Second attack in under 24 hours.Copy !req
90. Administered 80 milligrams
Promazine HClCopy !req
91. and six milligrams
Sumatriptan orally,Copy !req
92. as well as one milligram
dihydroergotamine mesylateCopy !req
93. by subcutaneous injection.Copy !req
94. - Hi.
- Mr Cohen?Copy !req
95. Marcy Dawson here again,
from Lancet-Percy.Copy !req
96. I was just looking over my scheduleCopy !req
97. and I realised I'll be in Chinatown
tomorrow around 3:00.Copy !req
98. I would love to stop by and see you.
I am so anxious to meet you.Copy !req
99. It'll be worth it for both of us.
How's 3:00 sound?Copy !req
100. How did you get my address?Copy !req
101. Oh, don't worry.
I got your address from Columbia.Copy !req
102. So, 3:00 it is.
Looking forward to it.Copy !req
103. Wait a minute...Copy !req
104. Max.Copy !req
105. Stop thinking, Max.Copy !req
106. Just feel. Use your intuition.Copy !req
107. So, what did you think of Hamlet?Copy !req
108. I didn't get to it.Copy !req
109. It's been a month.Copy !req
110. You haven't taken a single break.Copy !req
111. I'm so close.Copy !req
112. Have you met the new fish
my niece bought me?Copy !req
113. I named her "Icarus," after you,
my renegade pupil.Copy !req
114. You fly too high, you'll get burnt.Copy !req
115. I look at you,
I see myself 30 years ago.Copy !req
116. My greatest pupil.Copy !req
117. Published at 16, PhD at 20.Copy !req
118. But life isn't just mathematics, Max.Copy !req
119. I spent 40 years searching
for patterns in Pi.Copy !req
120. I found nothing.Copy !req
121. You found things.Copy !req
122. I found things...Copy !req
123. but not a pattern.Copy !req
124. Not a pattern.Copy !req
125. 11:22. Personal note.Copy !req
126. Sol died a little
when he stopped research on Pi.Copy !req
127. It wasn't just the stroke.Copy !req
128. He stopped caring.Copy !req
129. How could he stop,Copy !req
130. when he was so close
to seeing Pi for what it really is?Copy !req
131. How could you stop believing
that there is a pattern,Copy !req
132. an ordered shape behind those numbers,
when you were so close?Copy !req
133. We see the simplicity of the circle,Copy !req
134. we see the maddening complexity
of the endless string of numbers,Copy !req
135. 3.14 off into infinity.Copy !req
136. ? I don't mind if they're cloudy or brightCopy !req
137. ? For I only have eyesCopy !req
138. ? For you, dearCopy !req
139. Hey, Max.Copy !req
140. Lenny Meyer.Copy !req
141. Sorry. I'll put it out.Copy !req
142. So...Copy !req
143. What do you do?Copy !req
144. Um...Copy !req
145. I work with computers. Math.Copy !req
146. Math? What kind of math?Copy !req
147. Number theory. Research mostly.Copy !req
148. No way.
I work with numbers myself.Copy !req
149. I mean, not traditional.
I work with the Torah.Copy !req
150. Amazing!Copy !req
151. You know, Hebrew is all math.
It's all numbers.Copy !req
152. You know that? Hey, look.Copy !req
153. See, ancient Jews used Hebrew
as their numerical system. Eh?Copy !req
154. Each letter's a number.Copy !req
155. Like the Hebrew "A," Aleph, is one.Copy !req
156. "B," Bet, is two.Copy !req
157. You understand? But look at this.Copy !req
158. The numbers are interrelated. Like,
take the Hebrew word for "father,"ab."Copy !req
159. Aleph, Bet.Copy !req
160. One, two, equals three.Copy !req
161. All right?
The Hebrew word for "mother,"haim."Copy !req
162. Aleph, Mem.Copy !req
163. One, 40 equals 41.Copy !req
164. The sum of 3 and 41, 44.Copy !req
165. All right? Now, Hebrew word for child...Copy !req
166. All right, mother, father, child.Copy !req
167. Yelab.Copy !req
168. That's 10, 30 and 4.Copy !req
169. Forty-four.Copy !req
170. Torah is just a long string of numbers.Copy !req
171. Some say that it's a code
sent to us from God.Copy !req
172. - That's kind of interesting.
- Yeah.Copy !req
173. That's just kid's stuff. Check this out,
OK?Copy !req
174. The word for "The Garden of Eden,"
"Kadem."Copy !req
175. Numerical translation, 144.Copy !req
176. The value of tree of knowledge,
all right, in the garden. Right?Copy !req
177. "Aat ha haim." 233, 144, 233.Copy !req
178. - You can take those numbers...
- Those are Fibonacci numbers.Copy !req
179. They're...Copy !req
180. You know, like the Fibonacci sequence?Copy !req
181. Fibonacci...Copy !req
182. Fibonacci is an Italian mathematician
in the 13th century.Copy !req
183. If you divide 144 into 233,Copy !req
184. the result approaches, um... Theta.Copy !req
185. Theta?Copy !req
186. Theta.Copy !req
187. The Greek symbol for the golden ratio,
the golden spiral.Copy !req
188. Wow.Copy !req
189. I never saw that before.Copy !req
190. That's like that series you find in nature?Copy !req
191. - Like the face of a sunflower?
- Wherever there are spirals.Copy !req
192. See, there's math everywhere.Copy !req
193. Whoa! Hey, uh... Hey, Max?Copy !req
194. 13:26. Restate my assumptions.Copy !req
195. Mathematics is the language of nature.Copy !req
196. Everything around usCopy !req
197. can be represented
and understood through numbers.Copy !req
198. If you graph the numbers
of any system,Copy !req
199. patterns emerge.Copy !req
200. Therefore,
there are patterns everywhere in nature.Copy !req
201. So what about the stock market?Copy !req
202. A universe of numbers
that represents the global economy.Copy !req
203. Millions of human hands at work,
billions of minds.Copy !req
204. A vast network screaming with life.
An organism.Copy !req
205. A natural organism.Copy !req
206. My hypothesis...Copy !req
207. Within the stock market,
there is a pattern,Copy !req
208. right in front of me,Copy !req
209. playing with the numbers.
Always has been.Copy !req
210. 10:18. Press return.Copy !req
211. Max.Copy !req
212. What the...Copy !req
213. Shit!Copy !req
214. Ahhh!Copy !req
215. God damn it!Copy !req
216. Oh, my God.Copy !req
217. 10:28. Results.Copy !req
218. Bullshit.
Euclid predicts AAR at six and a half.Copy !req
219. AAR hasn't been beneath 40 in 20 years.Copy !req
220. Explanations for anomaly...Copy !req
221. Human error.Copy !req
222. 1 1:1 1. Results.Copy !req
223. Failed treatments to date...Copy !req
224. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers,
adrenaline injections,Copy !req
225. high-dose ibuprofen, steroids,Copy !req
226. trigger metastics, violent exercise,
cafergot suppositories, caffeine,Copy !req
227. acupuncture, marijuana,Copy !req
228. percodan, midrin, tenormin,
sansert, homeopathics...Copy !req
229. No results.Copy !req
230. No results.Copy !req
231. Euclid crashed.Copy !req
232. - I lost all my data, hardware.
- Your mainframe?Copy !req
233. Burnt.Copy !req
234. What the... What's happened?Copy !req
235. First, I get these crazy low picks,Copy !req
236. then it spit out this
long string of numbers.Copy !req
237. I never saw anything
like it. And then it fries.Copy !req
238. - The whole machine just crashed.
- You have a print out?Copy !req
239. - Of what?
- Of the picks, the number?Copy !req
240. - I threw it out.
- What was the number it spit out?Copy !req
241. I don't know, just a long string of digits.Copy !req
242. - How many?
- I don't know.Copy !req
243. What is it, 100? 1,000? 216?Copy !req
244. How many?Copy !req
245. Probably around 200. Why?Copy !req
246. I dealt with some bugs back in my Pi days.Copy !req
247. I was wondering
if it was similar to one I ran into.Copy !req
248. Have you met Archimedes?Copy !req
249. The one with black spots. You see?Copy !req
250. You remember Archimedes of Syracuse? Uh?Copy !req
251. The king asks Archimedes to determineCopy !req
252. if a present he he's received
is actually solid gold.Copy !req
253. Unsolved problem at the time.Copy !req
254. It tortures the great
Greek mathematician for weeks.Copy !req
255. Insomnia haunts him and he twists and turns
in his bed for nights on end.Copy !req
256. Finally, his equally exhausted wife,Copy !req
257. she's forced to share
a bed with this genius,Copy !req
258. convinces him to take a bath, to relax.Copy !req
259. While he's entering the tub,
Archimedes notices the bath water rise.Copy !req
260. Displacement, a way to determine volume,Copy !req
261. and thus a way to determine density.Copy !req
262. Weight over volume.Copy !req
263. And thus, Archimedes solves the problem.Copy !req
264. He screams, "Eureka!"
and he is so overwhelmed,Copy !req
265. he runs dripping naked through
the streets to the king's palaceCopy !req
266. to report his discovery.Copy !req
267. Now, what is the moral of the story?Copy !req
268. That a breakthrough will come.Copy !req
269. Wrong!Copy !req
270. The point of the story is the wife.Copy !req
271. You listen to your wife,
she will give you a perspective.Copy !req
272. Meaning, you need a break.Copy !req
273. You have to take a bath,
or you'll get nowhere.Copy !req
274. There will be no order, only chaos.Copy !req
275. Go home, Max.Copy !req
276. And you take a bath.Copy !req
277. Excuse me.
Can I take a look at the paper?Copy !req
278. Oh, my God.Copy !req
279. Six and a half.Copy !req
280. Hey...Copy !req
281. Hey!Copy !req
282. The paper, please.Copy !req
283. Mr Cohen? Perfect timing.Copy !req
284. I was just waiting for you.Copy !req
285. But I thought you stood me up,
so I was going to head home.Copy !req
286. - Who are you?
- Oh, Marcy Dawson from Lancet-Percy.Copy !req
287. - We were supposed to meet here at 3:00.
- It's really not...Copy !req
288. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is
to finally meet you.Copy !req
289. - I've studied your paper...
- Excuse me, but I have to...Copy !req
290. Listen, why don't we take a spin in my car?Copy !req
291. - I can't. I'm sorry.
- Mr Cohen, please...Copy !req
292. Yes!Copy !req
293. Fuck.Copy !req
294. I just threw out something.
I didn't realise I needed it.Copy !req
295. Just a print-out. I lost my data.Copy !req
296. Whoa! I'm sorry.Copy !req
297. - Max! Hey... How're you doing? Lenny Meyer.
- Yeah, I...Copy !req
298. - Where you going?
- Just up there.Copy !req
299. You got a minute? You got a minute?
You got five minutes?Copy !req
300. - Do you wanna try Tefillin?
- No, not right now.Copy !req
301. I've got car right over here.Copy !req
302. It'll take one sec,
we can cruise right over to the shul.Copy !req
303. - You got a car?
- Yeah, yeah, right there.Copy !req
304. See, my friend, Ephraim.Copy !req
305. - OK, let's go.
- OK! Great.Copy !req
306. You know, when you told me
your name was Max Cohen,Copy !req
307. I didn't realise that you
were the Max Cohen.Copy !req
308. Your work's revolutionary, you know that.
It's inspired the work that we do.Copy !req
309. - It has?
- Yeah, very much so.Copy !req
310. The only difference is,
we're not looking at the stock market.Copy !req
311. Go ahead.
Wrap that round your hand.Copy !req
312. We're searching for a pattern in the Torah.Copy !req
313. - What kind of pattern?
- We're not sure.Copy !req
314. All we know is it's 216 digits long.Copy !req
315. - OK, stand up, please, Max.
- 216?Copy !req
316. That's right.
You've gotta be very quiet now. Stand up.Copy !req
317. - 216?
- Shh. This just goes on your head.Copy !req
318. Look at me, Max.Copy !req
319. Right here. There you go.Copy !req
320. OK.Copy !req
321. All right. Now,
we're gonna say a little prayer together.Copy !req
322. Repeat after me...Copy !req
323. Shma Yisroel.Copy !req
324. - Shma Yisroel.
- Right.Copy !req
325. - Adenoi Eloihenu.
- Adenoi Eloihenu.Copy !req
326. - Adenoi Echod.
- Adenoi Echod.Copy !req
327. Now, what's up, Max?Copy !req
328. What is this 216 number, Sol?Copy !req
329. Excuse me?Copy !req
330. You asked me
if I'd seen a 216-digit number, right?Copy !req
331. Oh, yeah. You mean the bug.Copy !req
332. I ran into it working on Pi.Copy !req
333. - What do you mean ran into it?
- Max, what is this all about?Copy !req
334. There are these religious Jews
I've been talking to.Copy !req
335. Religious Jews?Copy !req
336. Yeah, you know, Hasids,
the guys with the beards.Copy !req
337. I know of them.Copy !req
338. I met one in a coffee shop.
It turns out the guy's a number theorist.Copy !req
339. The Torah is his data set.Copy !req
340. He tells me that they're looking
for a 216-digit number in the Torah.Copy !req
341. Come on, it's just a coincidence.Copy !req
342. There's something else, though.Copy !req
343. What?Copy !req
344. You remember those weird stock picks I got?Copy !req
345. Yesterday's stock picks? Yes.Copy !req
346. It turns out they were correct.Copy !req
347. I got two picks on the nose.
Smack on the nose, Sol.Copy !req
348. Something's going on.Copy !req
349. It has to do with that number.
There's an answer in that number.Copy !req
350. Max...Copy !req
351. Come with me.Copy !req
352. The ancient Japanese
considered the Go boardCopy !req
353. to be a microcosm of the universe.Copy !req
354. Although, when it's empty
it appears to be simple and ordered,Copy !req
355. the possibilities of gameplay are endless.Copy !req
356. They say no two Go games
have ever been alike, just like snowflakes.Copy !req
357. So, the Go board actually representsCopy !req
358. an extremely complex and chaotic universe.Copy !req
359. And that's the truth of our world, Max.Copy !req
360. It can't be easily summed up with math.Copy !req
361. There is no simple pattern.Copy !req
362. But as the Go game progresses, the
possibilities become smaller and smaller.Copy !req
363. The board thus take on order.
Soon, all the moves are predictable.Copy !req
364. So? So?Copy !req
365. So maybe, even though we're not
sophisticated enough to be aware of it,Copy !req
366. there is a pattern, an order,
underlying every Go game.Copy !req
367. Maybe that pattern is like the pattern
in the stock market?Copy !req
368. The Torah? This 216 number?Copy !req
369. This is insanity, Max.Copy !req
370. Or maybe it's genius!Copy !req
371. - I have to get that number.
- Hold on! You have to slow down.Copy !req
372. You're losing it.Copy !req
373. You have to take a breath.Copy !req
374. Listen to yourself.Copy !req
375. You're connecting a computer bug I had
with one you might have had,Copy !req
376. and some religious hogwash.Copy !req
377. If you want to find
the number 216 in the world,Copy !req
378. you will be able to find it everywhere.Copy !req
379. 216 steps from your street corner
to your front door,Copy !req
380. 216 seconds you spend
riding on the elevator.Copy !req
381. When your mind
becomes obsessed with anything,Copy !req
382. you will filter everything else out
and find that thing everywhere.Copy !req
383. 320, 450, 22, whatever.Copy !req
384. You've chosen 216
and you'll find it everywhere in nature.Copy !req
385. But, Max,Copy !req
386. as soon as you discard scientific rigour,Copy !req
387. you're no longer a mathematician,Copy !req
388. you're a numerologist.Copy !req
389. Mr Cohen?Copy !req
390. - Mr Cohen...
- God damn it!Copy !req
391. I'm sick of you following me!Copy !req
392. I'm not interested in your money.Copy !req
393. I'm looking for a way
to understand our world!Copy !req
394. I don't deal with petty
materialists like you.Copy !req
395. I'm sorry. I am very sorry.Copy !req
396. I admit we have been a bit too aggressive.Copy !req
397. But all I ask is that you
give me five minutes.Copy !req
398. Look, as a sign of good faith,
we wish to offer you this.Copy !req
399. I told you I don't want your money.Copy !req
400. The suitcase isn't filled with 50s,
or gold, or diamonds.Copy !req
401. Just silicon. A Ming Mecca chip.Copy !req
402. Ming Mecca?
They're not even de-classified yet.Copy !req
403. You're right, they're not.
But Lancet-Percy has many good friends.Copy !req
404. Beautiful, isn't it?Copy !req
405. Do you know how rare these are?Copy !req
406. What do you...Copy !req
407. Mr Cohen?Copy !req
408. - Are you OK?
- No.Copy !req
409. Mr Coh... Sir, are you sick?Copy !req
410. Hey!Copy !req
411. Come on, buddy. Get up.Copy !req
412. It's Coney Island, last stop.Copy !req
413. Here.Copy !req
414. For your nose.Copy !req
415. Jenna, come back! Jenna!Copy !req
416. Jenna, come back here.Copy !req
417. - Farrouhk?
- No, it's Max, from next door.Copy !req
418. Max. Is everything all right?Copy !req
419. - Do you have any iodine?
- Ooh... Did you cut yourself?Copy !req
420. No, I just need it to stain a slide.Copy !req
421. Ah. Science.
The pursuit of knowledge.Copy !req
422. One second.Copy !req
423. You surprised me.
I thought you were Farrouhk.Copy !req
424. Here we are.Copy !req
425. What are you examining?Copy !req
426. A potato?Copy !req
427. Uh, no. Just something
for my computer. Thanks.Copy !req
428. - Shalom. This is Lenny.
- Lenny, it's Max Cohen.Copy !req
429. Max, hey! What're you doing now?
Come down, we'll hang out.Copy !req
430. I was thinking about
our conversation the other night.Copy !req
431. - Uh-huh. That's good.
- I wanna help.Copy !req
432. 4:42. New evidence.Copy !req
433. Remember Pythagoras.Copy !req
434. Mathematician, cult leader.
Athens, circa 500 BCE.Copy !req
435. Major belief...Copy !req
436. The universe is made of numbers.Copy !req
437. Major contribution...Copy !req
438. The golden ratio.Copy !req
439. Best represented geometrically
as the golden rectangle.Copy !req
440. Visually,
there exists a graceful equilibriumCopy !req
441. between the shape's length and width.Copy !req
442. When it's squared,
it leaves a smaller golden rectangle behindCopy !req
443. with the same unique ratio.Copy !req
444. The squaring can continue,
smaller and smaller and smallerCopy !req
445. to infinity.Copy !req
446. 11:18. More evidence.Copy !req
447. Remember da Vinci.
Artist, inventor, sculptor, naturalist.Copy !req
448. Italy, 15th century.Copy !req
449. Rediscovered the balance perfection
of the golden rectangleCopy !req
450. and pencilled it into his masterpieces.Copy !req
451. Connecting a curve through
the concentric golden rectangles,Copy !req
452. you generate the mythical golden spiral.Copy !req
453. Pythagoras loved this shape,
for he found it everywhere in nature.Copy !req
454. A nautilus shell, rams horns,
whirlpools, tornadoes,Copy !req
455. our fingerprints, our DNA
and even our Milky Way.Copy !req
456. 9:22. Personal note.Copy !req
457. When I was a little kid, my mother
told me not to stare into the sun.Copy !req
458. So once, when I was six, I did.Copy !req
459. At first, the brightness was overwhelming,Copy !req
460. but I had that seen that before I
kept looking, forcing myself not to blink.Copy !req
461. And then the brightness began to dissolve.Copy !req
462. My pupils shrank to pinholes
and everything came into focus.Copy !req
463. And for a moment I understood.Copy !req
464. My new hypothesis,
if we're built from spirals,Copy !req
465. while living in a giant spiral,Copy !req
466. then everything we put our hands to,
is infused with the spiral.Copy !req
467. 10:15.Copy !req
468. Personal note.Copy !req
469. It's fair to say I'm
stepping out on a limb.Copy !req
470. But I am on the edge
and that's where it happens.Copy !req
471. Mr Cohen? I'm so happy you...Copy !req
472. Look, what do you want
in exchange for the chip?Copy !req
473. You tech guys,
I think you know what we want.Copy !req
474. I don't know if I'll find anything useful.Copy !req
475. We're willing to take the risk.Copy !req
476. First,
I want you to call off the surveillance.Copy !req
477. Done. Anything else?Copy !req
478. Yeah.Copy !req
479. I'm a very private person.Copy !req
480. Just knock on my door
and leave the suitcase outside.Copy !req
481. I don't wanna talk to anybody.Copy !req
482. How do I know you're home?Copy !req
483. I'll knock back.Copy !req
484. Fuck.Copy !req
485. The Torah.Copy !req
486. Coffee!Copy !req
487. What is it?Copy !req
488. In Hebrew, characters and numbers.Copy !req
489. No, the 216 number.Copy !req
490. What is it?Copy !req
491. I don't know.Copy !req
492. If you can find it,
maybe we can figure it out.Copy !req
493. Can you really find it?Copy !req
494. If there's a number in there, I'll find it.Copy !req
495. Max!Copy !req
496. Jenna!Copy !req
497. - Can we do it, Max?
- Not now, Jenna.Copy !req
498. Please, Max?Copy !req
499. Happy birthday, Euclid.Copy !req
500. 18:30.Copy !req
501. Press return.Copy !req
502. 18:33. Press return.Copy !req
503. Hell!Copy !req
504. Come on!Copy !req
505. You fuck! You fuck!Copy !req
506. Fuck!Copy !req
507. What the fuck!Copy !req
508. Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!Copy !req
509. Fuck you!Copy !req
510. Yes, hello?Copy !req
511. He's busy right now, I'm sorry.Copy !req
512. You were screaming.Copy !req
513. Who told you you could
put all the locks on the door, Mr Cohen?Copy !req
514. Are you OK?Copy !req
515. You're out, you hear me?
You're out of here!Copy !req
516. - I've had it with you! Just look at...
- Get out!Copy !req
517. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
518. That's it.Copy !req
519. - Get out!
- God damn it, no!Copy !req
520. You're the one out of here, mister.Copy !req
521. Get out! Get out!Copy !req
522. Get out!Copy !req
523. Get out!Copy !req
524. Get out!Copy !req
525. Are you OK?Copy !req
526. Get out!Copy !req
527. 843197...Copy !req
528. You bastard.Copy !req
529. Nineteen-and-a-half.Copy !req
530. Thirty-nine and an eighth.Copy !req
531. Six and three-quarters.Copy !req
532. Seven and an eighth.Copy !req
533. Twelve and a quarter.Copy !req
534. I know these numbers.Copy !req
535. They're going down...Copy !req
536. Down.Copy !req
537. Down.Copy !req
538. You lied to me.Copy !req
539. You have it?Copy !req
540. OK. Sit down.Copy !req
541. I gave up before I pinpointed it,
but my guess is that, uh...Copy !req
542. Certain problems cause computers
to get stuck in a particular loop.Copy !req
543. The loop leads to meltdown,
but just before they crash,Copy !req
544. they become aware of their own structure.Copy !req
545. The computer has a sense of its own silicon
nature and it prints out its ingredients.Copy !req
546. The computer becomes conscious?Copy !req
547. In some ways.Copy !req
548. I guess.Copy !req
549. Studying the pattern
made Euclid conscious of itself.Copy !req
550. Before it died it spit out the number.
That consciousness is the number?Copy !req
551. No. No, Max. It's only a nasty bug.Copy !req
552. - It's more than that, Sol.
- No, it's not. It's a dead end!Copy !req
553. - There's nothing there!
- It's a door, Sol. It's a door.Copy !req
554. A door to the front of a cliff.
You're driving yourself over the edge.Copy !req
555. You need to stop.Copy !req
556. You were afraid of it.Copy !req
557. - That's why you quit.
- Max, I got burnt.Copy !req
558. - Come on, Sol.
- It caused my stroke!Copy !req
559. That's bullshit!
It's mathematics, numbers, ideas.Copy !req
560. Mathematicians are supposed
to go to the edge.Copy !req
561. There's more to life than math.Copy !req
562. - You taught me that.
- It's death, Max!Copy !req
563. You can't tell me what it is.Copy !req
564. You've retreated to your Go
and your books and your goldfish!Copy !req
565. Max, go home.Copy !req
566. - You're not satisfied!
- Go home.Copy !req
567. - Get out of my house.
- I'm gonna know what it is!Copy !req
568. - I'm gonna see it!
- Get out of my house!Copy !req
569. I'm gonna understand it!Copy !req
570. Hey!Copy !req
571. Hey!Copy !req
572. Hey!Copy !req
573. - Who are you working for?
- Hey!Copy !req
574. - Who sent you?
- Me!Copy !req
575. Who the hell sent you?Copy !req
576. I'm just a student.Copy !req
577. - Give me that.
- I've got an assignment for class.Copy !req
578. Leave me alone.Copy !req
579. Marcy.Copy !req
580. What's the matter?Copy !req
581. Let's go for a ride, Max.Copy !req
582. I can't. I have work.Copy !req
583. We had a deal,
Max. Now let's get in the car.Copy !req
584. Don't ever touch me!Copy !req
585. Max! Max!Copy !req
586. - Hey!
- Max!Copy !req
587. Leave me alone!Copy !req
588. - Max, come here!
- Max!Copy !req
589. - Max!
- Max!Copy !req
590. - Max, where're you going, Max?
- Help! Help!Copy !req
591. - Chill out!
- Help! Help!Copy !req
592. Stop, Max.Copy !req
593. Max! God damn it!Copy !req
594. Help! Help...Copy !req
595. Help!Copy !req
596. - Get him!
- I got him.Copy !req
597. Come here, Max.Copy !req
598. Get outta my way.Copy !req
599. Fuck.Copy !req
600. Where'd he go?Copy !req
601. He's over there.Copy !req
602. Max...Copy !req
603. Leave me alone!Copy !req
604. - Brad, I got him, I got him.
- Get off of me!Copy !req
605. No! Help! Help me!Copy !req
606. - Get up here! Get up here! Now!
- No!Copy !req
607. - Get going!
- Fuck it!Copy !req
608. Calm down, man.Copy !req
609. - Sit down!
- Help me!Copy !req
610. - And shut the hell up.
- Calm down.Copy !req
611. Didn't your mother ever tell you
not to play with matches?Copy !req
612. The market's going to crash, Max.Copy !req
613. I didn't do anything.
I don't play the market.Copy !req
614. You have to be careful
where you throw out your trash.Copy !req
615. How could you do that?Copy !req
616. You gave us faulty information.Copy !req
617. Oh, you dangled the carrot,
the right picks,Copy !req
618. but then you only gave us part of the code.Copy !req
619. Now give us the rest of the codeCopy !req
620. - so we can set it right.
- You selfish irresponsible bastards!Copy !req
621. How could you be so stupid?Copy !req
622. Come on, Max. You just don't get it!Copy !req
623. I don't give a shit about you!Copy !req
624. I only care about what's
in your fucking head!Copy !req
625. If you won't help us help yourself,Copy !req
626. we are forced to comply
with the laws of nature.Copy !req
627. Survival of the fittest, Max,
and we've got the fucking gun!Copy !req
628. Fuck.Copy !req
629. - Hey! Hey!
- Max! Come here! Max!Copy !req
630. - Lenny? Lenny!
- Hey! Hey!Copy !req
631. - Max, come here, Max!
- Hey! Hey!Copy !req
632. - C'mon, get in here. Hurry! Hurry!
- Hey!Copy !req
633. Hey!Copy !req
634. Stay down! Stay down.Copy !req
635. OK. We've been looking for you.Copy !req
636. What's going on?Copy !req
637. - You have the number?
- What's going on?Copy !req
638. - You have the number?
- What is it?Copy !req
639. What're the hell are
you doing? Get off of me!Copy !req
640. We're not kidding around here, Max,
now where's the number?Copy !req
641. It's not on me! It's in my head!Copy !req
642. It's in... What, you memorised it?Copy !req
643. - You give it to them?
- Who?Copy !req
644. Who? Those Wall Street bastards!Copy !req
645. - What do you care?
- Answer me.Copy !req
646. - Screw you!
- Yalla.Copy !req
647. Come here. Listen to me.Copy !req
648. You're dealing with something
really big now, Max.Copy !req
649. Now, I don't wanna have to hurt you. You
just answer me. Did you give it to them?Copy !req
650. They've got part of it. Now, let go of me!Copy !req
651. God damn it!Copy !req
652. Damn it!Copy !req
653. - They're using it.
- Using what?Copy !req
654. Shut up! Impetuous little runt!Copy !req
655. Let go!Copy !req
656. No, don't!Copy !req
657. Max.Copy !req
658. Max.Copy !req
659. Max.Copy !req
660. Max.Copy !req
661. You're all right.Copy !req
662. I'm Rabbi Cohen.Copy !req
663. Cohen, like you.Copy !req
664. I'm sorry for what Lenny did.
He's been reprimanded.Copy !req
665. It's not our way. Are you OK?Copy !req
666. Yeah.Copy !req
667. Max...Copy !req
668. You have to give us the number.Copy !req
669. What is it?Copy !req
670. The Talmud tells us it
began 2,000 years ago,Copy !req
671. when the Romans destroyed
the Second Temple.Copy !req
672. - What is this?
- Max, you will understand everythingCopy !req
673. if you listen.Copy !req
674. The Romans also destroyed
our priesthood, the Cohanim.Copy !req
675. And with their deaths,
they destroyed our greatest secret.Copy !req
676. In the centre of the Temple
was the heart of Jewish life,Copy !req
677. the Holy of Holies.Copy !req
678. It was the earthly residence of our God.Copy !req
679. The one God.Copy !req
680. It housed the Ark of the Tabernacle,Copy !req
681. which stored the original Ten Commandments
which God gave to Moses.Copy !req
682. Only one man was allowed to enterCopy !req
683. this Holy of Holies on one day,
the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur.Copy !req
684. On the Day of Atonement,
all of Israel would descend upon JerusalemCopy !req
685. to watch the high priest, the Cohen gadol,
make his trip into the Holy of Holies.Copy !req
686. If the high priest was pure,Copy !req
687. he would emerge moments later
and we were secured a prosperous year.Copy !req
688. It meant that we were one year closer
to the Messianic age.Copy !req
689. But, if he was impure,Copy !req
690. he would die instantly
and it meant that we were doomed.Copy !req
691. The high priest had one ritual
to perform in the Holy of Holies.Copy !req
692. He had to intone a single word.Copy !req
693. - Yeah?
- That word...Copy !req
694. was the true name of God.Copy !req
695. So?Copy !req
696. The true name,
which only the Cohanim knew,Copy !req
697. was 216 letters long.Copy !req
698. Are you telling me that...Copy !req
699. That the number in my head
is the true name of God.Copy !req
700. Yes! It's the key to the Messianic age.Copy !req
701. It can take us one step closer
to the Garden of Eden.Copy !req
702. As the Romans burned the Temple,
the Talmud tells us,Copy !req
703. the high priest walked into the flames.Copy !req
704. He took the key to the top
of the burning building.Copy !req
705. The heavens opened and received the key
from the priest's outstretched hand.Copy !req
706. We have been looking
for that key ever since.Copy !req
707. And you may have found it.Copy !req
708. That's what happened.Copy !req
709. - I saw God.
- No.Copy !req
710. You are not pure.
You cannot see God unless you are pure.Copy !req
711. No...Copy !req
712. I saw everything.Copy !req
713. You saw nothing, only a glimpse.Copy !req
714. There's so much more.Copy !req
715. We can use the key to unlock the door.
We can show God we are pure again.Copy !req
716. - He will return us to...
- You're not pure. How are you pure?Copy !req
717. I found it!Copy !req
718. Who do you think you are?Copy !req
719. You are only a vessel from our God.Copy !req
720. You're carrying a delivery
that was meant for us!Copy !req
721. It was given to me!Copy !req
722. It's inside of me! It's changing me!Copy !req
723. It's killing you!Copy !req
724. Because you are not ready to receive it!Copy !req
725. It's just a number.Copy !req
726. I'm sure you've written down
every 216-digit number.Copy !req
727. You've translated all of them.Copy !req
728. You've intoned them all.Copy !req
729. Haven't you?Copy !req
730. What's it gotten you?Copy !req
731. The number is nothing.Copy !req
732. It's the meaning.Copy !req
733. The syntax.
It's what's between the numbers.Copy !req
734. If you haven't understood it,Copy !req
735. it's because it's not for you.Copy !req
736. I've got it!Copy !req
737. I've got it!Copy !req
738. And I understand it.Copy !req
739. And I'm gonna see it.Copy !req
740. Rabbi, I was chosen.Copy !req
741. 17:13. Personal note.Copy !req
742. Getting faster... Something in the story...
7:10.Copy !req
743. You stare into space like that,
you could go blind.Copy !req
744. What can the eyes see without the brain?Copy !req
745. Nothing. If the brain
can't make a picture...Copy !req
746. 12:15.Copy !req
747. 14:50.Copy !req
748. 15:10.Copy !req
749. 16:55.Copy !req
750. 10:35.Copy !req
751. 9:15.Copy !req
752. Already, I'm beginning to see.Copy !req
753. Can I help you?Copy !req
754. Sol?Copy !req
755. Were you a friend?Copy !req
756. What do you mean?Copy !req
757. He had a second stroke.Copy !req
758. No! No!Copy !req
759. No!Copy !req
760. No!Copy !req
761. Three! Nine!Copy !req
762. Seven! Six! Eight! Five! Four! Two! One!Copy !req
763. Six! Five! Eight!Copy !req
764. Four! Seven! Nine! Eight! Seven!Copy !req
765. Eight! Nine! Seven! Five! Seven!
Seven! Zero!Copy !req
766. Nine! Seven! One!Copy !req
767. Zero!Copy !req
768. Eight! Come on! Come on!Copy !req
769. Come on! Come on!Copy !req
770. Three.Copy !req
771. Nine.Copy !req
772. Seven.Copy !req
773. No, Max, no.Copy !req
774. Two.Copy !req
775. Six.Copy !req
776. Stay with me, Max.Copy !req
777. Five.Copy !req
778. Oh, my God, Max.Copy !req
779. Two.Copy !req
780. No!Copy !req
781. 17:22. Personal note.Copy !req
782. When I was a little kid, my mother
told me not to stare into the sun.Copy !req
783. So once, when I was six, I did.Copy !req
784. Max, Max. Look.Copy !req
785. Pretty, huh?Copy !req
786. Can we do it, Max? Can we?Copy !req
787. How about 255 times 183?Copy !req
788. I got it! I got it! What's the answer?Copy !req
789. I don't know. What is it?Copy !req
790. Forty six thousand,
six hundred and sixty five. See?Copy !req
791. How about 748 divided by 238?Copy !req
792. I got it! What's the answer?Copy !req
