All language subtitles for Jeremiah S02E03 - Strange Attractors

Previously on jeremiah...

The virus is still alive
inside you.

I walk out that door,

and I could wipe out
half the world all over again.

There is a way
to get markus and jeremiah
out of valhalla sector.

Sir, i've made contact
with elements
within thunder mountain.

In exchange for markus, erin,
jeremiah, and his father,

they're willing
to give us the key
to the big death virus.

liberty,

i'd like you
to meet jeremiah, my son.

Is there any more
like you back home?

So jeremiah,
devon, and libby.

They have to stay alive
and untouched,

or the world dies around them.

They're all dead.

No marks.
They don't look
like they've been infected.

We still have to find out
where they stashed theo

and the rest of the guys
from the meeting in st. louis.

Meaghan!

I can't go with you,
jeremiah.

i'm going to have to stay.

Why?

Well, valhalla sector's
still contaminated.

We're going to have
to sterilize the entire place

to make sure that the virus
doesn't have a chance

to get out again.

markus is going to leave
a couple of people behind

to help out.

Besides, I have to make sure
that my notes

and any information

pertaining to valhalla's
military campaign

is secured.

Hey, with a bit of luck,
i'll be able to find out

where your people were taken
after the raid in st. louis.

You're welcome to stay
if you like.

I can't.

i've got to get back
to thunder mountain.

This sucks...

No. No.
It's all right.
It's all right.

After what you've been through
the last few days,

the interrogation,
the torture,

seeing the big death
up close and personal

for a second time,

you need to rest, recover.

So does libby.

We need to get her away
from all of this.

You're the only one
she really knows and trusts.

Look, we'll get
finished up here,

and then i'll meet you
at thunder mountain.

It's important for me to know
that you're okay.

We've waited to see each other
for 15 years.

We can wait
another couple of days.

All right.
i'm going to have to go.

We're sending in
our first recon team

to find out whether anybody
escaped infection.

i'll see you
in a few days, all right?

I love you.

You too, dad.

You made me damn proud
in there, jeremiah.

Damn proud.

I heard
a little of...

You did?

Yeah...

You've both had
a long time

to think about what
to say to each other

when and if
you had the chance,

but 15 years apart
is still 15 years apart.

It'll take him a while
to get past the point of,

"okay, we found
each other. Now what?"

You know what,
uh, "high verbal" is?

Yeah.

Good.
Saves me the trouble.

Trying to say
i talk too much?

Because we could talk
about that.

jeremiah?

jeremiah...

jeremiah?

So what now?

markus was beginning
to put together a new alliance

with theo
and some of the other leaders.

They were captured
by valhalla sector.

Once my dad has information
on where they're being held,

we go get them out.

I thought you were going
to take a rest.

Compared to this week,
it'd be like a vacation.

How bad can it be?

Still no word
from valhalla sector?

Nothing. Do you think
something happened?

No. That place
is freakin' impervious.

You can't touch 'em.

So what's going on?

I don't know,
but i'll find out,
that's for goddamn sure.

We're on the clock here.

You. What're you up to?

What happened
to valhalla sector?

Fuck you!

Hit her again.

Fuck! Fuck you, asshole!

It's been 15 years

since a strange disease
wiped out all of the adults

and left us kids
to fend for ourselves.

Now i'm moving ahead,

through the past.

* I can't let go

* i'm holding hope so tight

* it's hard to breathe
when the whole world falls *

* i'm gonna put the stars back
back up in the sky *

* let them all just shine down
i'm gonna try *

* I believe we'll find
the world together *

* through your eyes

* that's all I can see

* I believe
we're looking at forever *

* in a world
where we can be free *

* I believe *

stop it!

Let's get something straight.

Yes, valhalla sector
was the enemy,

and, yes,
they had to be stopped,

and maybe...

Maybe this way
was the only way,

but several thousand people
died getting it done,

and that's not something
you celebrate.

That's something
you apologize for.

God says, "it took
you until now
to figure that out?"

Find anything?

( devon ): No. Nothing.

But at least the power's
still on.

i'm going to make my way
to the control center,

see if I can find
anything there.

roger that.

Look, don't you have
anywhere to go?

No. Why?

Because you're starting
to creep me out.

No, actually,

you were creeping me out
when I first met you.

It's just different
levels of creeposity,
you know?

i'm supposed to be here
when you need me.

I don't need you.

Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

Look, i'm just trying
to do a job here.

There are a hundred
other places

i'd rather be right now.

Yeah?
Well, then, go.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay. I will.

You're still here.

Yeah.
Funny, that.

Come on.

What?

Shut up
and come on.

Kurdy, how you doing, man?

i'm all right.
How 'bout yourself?

Well...

Listen,
we came in together,

but we didn't really
have a chance to talk.

i'm mister smith.

Mister smith.

Yes.

Your first name
is mister?

Yes.

Mister smith.

Yes.

So if I was, like,
going to introduce you
to somebody,

I would say this is
mr. mister smith?

Yeah.

What the hell
kind of name is that?

It's not something
i talk about.

Listen, kurdy,

a lot of stuff's gone down,

and I was thinking
maybe you and i
should sit down.

Yeah, well, right now,
me and smith are talking.

Right.
We have some things,

important...

I have some issues.

Yeah, like
the name thing.

One of thousands.

Would you like to hear
them alphabetically,

or in order
of psychic trauma?

No. I don't want
to hear them.

i'll catch you later.

No problem.

I told you you needed me.

Would you just eat?

I don't need you.

There's just certain
conversations

I don't feel like having
right now.

Okay. No problem,
i understand.

So, where you from?

You mean before the death?
portland.

portland, really?

i'm from portland.

How about that,
we have something in common.

That makes us practically
like homeboys.

This is the part where I just
shut up and eat, right?

You still there?

Right here.
What've you got?

i've found the co's logsheet
for communications
to and from the outposts

we set up around the country.

i've been checking messages
from the last few weeks

to see if I can find
anything about...

devon?

Just a sec.

Okay, houston,
we've got a problem.

Did you find out
where theo and the others
are being held?

Yeah. That's not the problem.

Get markus on the line. Quick.

So...

Why are we sitting
under the stairs?

I know why i'm sitting here.

Why you're sitting here...

I have no idea.

Okay, you first.

I was five
when they first found me

and brought me
into valhalla sector.

For the first month,
they said I didn't sleep,

I didn't talk,
i didn't dress myself,

I just sat under
one of the stairs all day

and only came out
to use the bathroom.

I don't actually remember
doing it, but...

Why would they lie to me?

Does any of this...

I don't know.
Does it ring a bell?

No...

I thought
i'd give it a shot, though--

you know,
connect my inner terror
to my outer terror,

so I can balance them out.

You're safe here, you know.

Oh, absolutely.

I knew I was safe at home
before my folks died,

knew I was safe at school
before that went up
into flames.

Knew I was safe
at valhalla sector before...

It just seems like
there's a whole lot
of knowing going on,

but not a whole lot of safe
anywhere.

I think we're over the hump.

Over the hump...

Still under the stairs.

devon, what's up?

i've been going through
the files,

and i've found where
your people are being held.

It's a small town
called milhaven.

We use it
as a transit point

to and from
valhalla sector.

We have agents there

that pretty much run it
on our behalf.

i'm familiar with it.
So we'll just go in,

get our people out.

Their standing orders
are code-named "carthage."

Carthage was an ancient city

that was wiped out
in a war with rome.

Carthage,
in this context,

means that
if milhaven

has no contact
with valhalla sector

for more than a week,

they're to eliminate anyone

who might act as a witness
against them.

No survivors.

My guess is your people
have about 48 hours to live.

Kurdy?

i'm sorry.
I didn't know
you were--

nobody packed up her stuff.

markus asked me
to take care of it.

It's just...

You know, hard.

I keep letting myself think
that if I leave things

just as they were
when she left,

that she'd come back.

She's not coming back, erin.

I know.

This was the first thing
i gave her,

not that it was mine
to give.
It was really simon's,

but I gave it to her,
because...

I don't get it,
erin.

All my life,

i've been looking for
that one person

to believe in,

one person to love
without question.

I never thought
i'd find it...

And then, one day...

Bang, there it is.

There she is,

and then the universe
just takes her
away from me.

Why would it bring me
all that way

just to take it away
from me again?

I don't know,
kurdy.

All we can do

is cherish the time we have
when we have it,

and treasure
the memories
after they're gone.

Try to do right by them.

Everything else
is out of our control.

So you wanted to see me?

Uh, yeah.

markus wants to hold
a strategy meeting, asap.

He wants you
and jeremiah there,

because you two are
the best team--

no. No. There is
no more "us two."

jeremiah told me
what happened.

She was followed there.

They were tracking
all of us.

You can't blame him
for what happened.

Look, the main
thing is,

we've spent too much
time together lately.

He's obsessed
and i'm pissed...

I just need
a little more time, all right?

That's all.

i've got some things
i need to work through,

and I don't want him around
while i'm doing it.

I don't think
that would be good
for either one of us.

I know you're hurting...

The same way I know
that sooner or later,

the pain will go away,

but your friends
will always be here,

and that's jeremiah,

and that's me,

and that's
everybody else here.

Tell markus i'll be there,
but i'll be there on my own.

We are so screwed.
Face facts, theo.
We're on our own.

No one's coming to get us.

For all his big talk,
markus is all air.

Yeah. The way I hear it,

markus got caught
his own self.

He's supposed to be up
in a sweet little place
in valhalla sector,

spilling his heart out
about us,

selling us out
to save his own neck.

Even if they got markus,
no way he'd sell us out.

He's that kind of noble
that just drives you nuts,

and if his ass
was any tighter,

every time he smiled,

you'd hear something
unpleasant
happening down south,

if you know what i'm saying.

No, if anybody's going
to get us out of here,

it's markus.

All i'm saying
is whatever's coming,

we've got to look out
for ourselves.

Now, these guys have made us
a reasonable offer.

Right.

Now, one way or another,
there's going to be
a new country.

The only question is,
who's going to run it?

I say we tell 'em
whatever they want to hear,

whether we mean it or not,

just so we can get the hell
out of here.

Excuse me,

because theo can be wrong
sometimes.

Not often, but sometimes.

About 30 seconds ago,

weren't you just complaining
about markus selling us out,

and now you want to do
the same thing
to save your own ass.

Anybody else see
a contradiction here,

or am I just nuts?

Just nuts covers it
from where I sit.

You know
why you're here?

No, why am I here?

Because your mama's
medical plan

didn't cover abortions.

And since there won't be
any new orders

coming from valhalla sector
anytime soon,

at least not from anybody
they'd recognize,

we have less than 48 hours

before they decide
to get rid of the evidence.

Meaning theo
and the rest.

Exactly.

So what's the problem?

We get in, we hit 'em,
we get out.

First, in taking down
valhalla sector,

we mounted the largest assault
we've ever attempted.

It's going to take a while
to put the pieces
back together again.

Second, we don't know
what the situation is

on the ground in milhaven.

We don't know
where they're being held,

how many guards there are,
who's holding them.

We don't know anything.

So?
Never stopped us before.

We need to stall,
and we need information,

and there's a way to do both.

When we came back
from valhalla sector,

we grabbed a couple
of their helicopters,

'cause ours
were in pretty bad shape.

They've got all
the right transponders,

markings, everything.

We can use them
to send someone in

on the pretext that they're
from valhalla sector,

get the information we need
and buy us some time.

When you say "someone,"

I assume you mean
me and kurdy.

Uh, I...

I need kurdy on another
part of the mission.

We'll pair you up
with somebody else--

it won't do you any good.

Well, I mean...

These people aren't soldiers,

but they're not exactly
stupid either.

By now, they're going to be
wound up tighter than a drum,

and anyone who goes in there

and doesn't know
exactly what they're doing

is going to get in
a lot of trouble.

What do you suggest?

Well...

i've been to milhaven
a few times,

picking up bio-samples
and other supplies.

We're not best pals,

but at least
they'll recognize me.

I don't think
it's a very good idea.

Neither do I.

In fact,
i think it's a terrible idea.

It's the stupidest idea

in the history
of really stupid ideas,

but I think it's the only one
that'll work.

I don't like it either,
but she's got a point.

Thank you.

I mean,
i've been there before,

I know the area,

I can pretty much
take care of myself, right?

So if you
know the area,

and you can pretty much
take care of yourself,

what do you need me to do?

Clean up?

davis, you there?

Yeah, what's up?

Helicopter coming in.

It's about freaking time.

Hey, good to see you.
It's liberty, right?

Right,
it's liberty kaufman.

This is je--jerry.

He's from valhalla
sector's division of
military intelligence.

Just stopping by
to see the operation.

Going to report back.

Oh, well,
it's good to see you guys.

Hadn't heard anything
in a couple days.

Started to get worried.

It's a communications
problem.

The com system uses
a bounce-back

from the old
slipstream satellites,

and sometimes the solar flares
can get pretty bad,

enough to knock the system
out of commission

for a few days to a week.

So what's
the good word?

Well, there's another
election coming up,

and they say that
the air filtration system

is going to stop smelling
like boiled cabbages,

but I think...

Oh.

Sorry.

Get rid of that, okay?

What did he do?

Worst thing you can
do in milhaven--

lied to me.

Are you sure
you want me in charge
of this thing, markus?

Positive.

You handled the attack
on valhalla sector,

and you can handle this,

and the others
have your trust.

That means a lot.

You'll get on the road
as soon as possible.

When jeremiah calls in
with the details,

we'll relay the information
to you en route.

By the time you get there,
you should be ready to go.

I just don't want
anybody to think

that i'm grabbing
for authority, that's all.

I mean, i'm not a leader,
i'm just a guy.

All the best leaders are.

You'd better go.
You have to pick
your immediate support team.

They've got to be good
at what they do, kurdy,

but more importantly,
they've got to be
loyal to you,

so choose well.

This is where
it starts, erin.

We're applying force
to the outside world

to shape it the way
we want it to be,

in order to protect it
from all the other people

who want to use force
to shape the world.

It has to be done.

We just need to be
sure we're right.

And for my next trick,
i'll walk on water,

heal the lame,
and turn wine into water.

That's water
into wine.

Ah, tomato, tomahto.

Look, i've got
to do this thing,

and markus says
i should pick lieutenants
who I can trust to be loyal.

Make no mistake, I do think
you are a little nutty...

But the truth is,

you have saved my hide twice,
and that's a big thing,

so I owe you a chance to...

Are you listening
to me?

Are you okay?

Yeah, i'm okay.
It's just...

What?

It's just...

Most of the time,
when god talks to me,

there's no tone in the voice.

It's not a male voice,
it's not a female voice.

It's not happy, it's not sad,

it doesn't even speak
in an english accent,

which really messed me up
for a while.

It's not one thing or another.
It just sort of...Is,
you know?

But just now...Just now...

There was sadness, grief,
weariness...

And under all of it...

Anger.

Real anger.

The kind of anger that
makes you throw
yourself on the ground

and cover your face

and apologize
for everything you've done
in your entire life.

God says, "look to the east
and despair."

That's it?

Yeah, I guess
you kind of had to be there.

Man, come on,
we've got work to do.

So the trucks pull up
with, like, 200 prisoners,

and I say to the guy,

"what the hell are we supposed
to do with all these people?"

And he says, "they don't have
the facilities

over at valhalla sector
to house that many people."

Neither do we.
It's not his problem.

He's got orders
from military intelligence.

You know, there's
a contradiction in terms
if I ever heard one.

"Military intelligence."

Oh, no offense there.

None taken.

Anyway, we find this place
about half a mile
south of here,

we take it over,

we break 'em up
into small groups

so they fit better,

and that's
pretty much it.

i'll tell you the truth.

I am going to be so glad

when you guys take 'em
off our hands.

They are a real pain
in the ass.

There's this one
in particular, theo...

I swear I would rather
pluck my eyes out
and spread them on toast

than spend 10 minutes
in a room with that woman.

Isn't that the one we're
supposed to talk to?

Yeah. Right.

Is there any chance
we could talk to her?

No, no way.

We were given
strict instructions--

no one's allowed
in the holding area

without written authorization
from general waverly, so...

But we could
see her privately.

You could
bring her to us.

theo? In private with...

You're either really brave
or really stupid.

Or both.

Sure, what the hell.
I guess it's okay, you know?

i'll bring her by
in the morning,

then you guys
can get some sleep.

You're going to need it.

You know, the more I see
of people like that,

the more I think
that maybe daniel's right.

daniel?

Don't go off on me.

I know you people
from valhalla sector

don't much care for daniel
or what he has to say,

but you know,
sometimes I think

he's got
some pretty good ideas.

I really love
what you've done here.

I see you finally got
the power working again.

Just a few places, though.

Here, the town hall,
all my lieutenants have power.

See, we use it as sort of
this inducement.

You work with us,
we work with you.

Everybody else?

I think it was socrates
who said...

Fuck 'em.

All right,
we're locked and loaded.

We leave in 15 minutes.

It's the carrot or the stick.

Oh, the carrot would be great.

Good choice, my man.

Can I ask you
a question?

What got you started
on this whole
"god talks to me" stuff

in the first place?

The first time
i heard god speak...

It's kind of hard to know
exactly what happened,

because I was kind of dead
at the time.

i'd just given up, okay?

I mean, I...It'd
been a rough life,

and it wasn't
getting any easier,

and I just decided
enough's enough,

so I stood in the middle
of this bridge,

and I said, "i'm tired,
and i'm done now,"

and I jumped.

The reason
i chose that way

was because I can't
swim for shit,
and I wanted to make sure

I got the job done
right, you know?

I remember I was afraid
to open my mouth,

but finally, I forced it open

and let the water
into my lungs.

The next thing I knew,
i was sinking,

and it was quiet,

muffled,

peaceful.

It was like
i was going to sleep.

Then I heard this voice say,
"not yet.

"Not yet.

"There's work to be done,"

and I got mad,
and I said, "screw you,"

because I knew who it was.

When you're
that close to death,
you know what that voice is.

I said, "screw you.

"You ran out on us.

"You let pain and death
into the world,

"and now look at us,
look at what we've become,

"what you let happen."

The voice said,
"i know. I know.

"i've been away too long,
but i'm back now.

"My voice will be heard.

"You'll be my voice."

Anyway,
the next thing I knew,

I was awake on the shore.

There were people around
saying they saw a wave

wash me up
and just leave me there.

Scared the hell
out of them.

They thought
you were dead?

No.

So what's so scary
about seeing a wave

wash somebody on shore?

It was a lake.

So did he say
anything else to you
that first day?

Yeah, just two words.

I got the impression
they were real important.

I don't know...
I still haven't been
able to figure out

what they mean,
or what they have to do
with anything else.

Let me guess. "jesus saves."

I got it, "happy birthday."

All right, smith.

What were the two words
god said to you
that first day?

"Fractal theory."

What the hell
is fractal theory?

How the hell
am I supposed to know?

i'm just god's sock puppet,
okay?

He shoves his hand up my ass

and words come out
the other end.

Who knew math was involved?

We've got
to roust 'em up.

davis says the guys
from valhalla
want to see one of 'em.

Which one?

theo.

Shouldn't I be watching
the front or something?

You know, so we'll know
when they bring her in?

Not necessary.

Believe me,
you will know.

i've just got
to finish this
before they get back.

God darn it, you assholes!

Let me guess,
that must be theo.

That's theo.

Well, this is theo.

What the f...

We finally get to
meet face to face.

Yeah...

Good.

Well, that's good.

So tell the truth,

am I everything
you ever dreamed of and more?

Actually, a little less,

but i'm prepared
to make you a deal.

See, we still
don't know exactly
how many people escaped

from the little party
we crashed in st. louis.

Oh, you don't know?

Well, you got 200 of us here,

so you do the math.

i'm not going to help you.

Our facilities to your liking?

That dump?
Are you out of your mind?

Who the hell thought
sticking us in a school gym
was a good idea, huh?

Do I look like
a basketball player?

Some little gym shorts,
some sneakers,

you might
surprise everybody.

Point is, theo,

it's a big world out there.

Now, it can either be
a really bad place,

or it can be
a really good place,

and that depends on you.
On whether or not
you want to work with us.

Now, if you cooperate
with these gentlemen
over here,

I can put in
a good word for you.

If not, there is nothing
that I can do for you.

There is something
you could do for me.

What?

Kiss my ass.

You like my part
of the show?

Yeah, swell.

You see? The woman's trouble.

I can't wait for you guys

to take these jerks
off our hands.

Now, this area
here...

You sure you're all right
with the walking?

You took quite a shot
to the self-esteem.

I know,
it's all right.

Like I was saying,
this area here

separates our part
of town from the rest.

Now, here we've got water,

power from a generator
just down the street...

The others don't
like it too much,

but whoever has the power
makes the rules, right?

Right.

Here's why we have to
control the food supply.

See, you give people too much,

and they just
demand more.

The best way
to keep 'em in line
is to ration stuff out

in ways
that suits our needs.

Keep 'em barefoot,
off balance,

just hungry enough
to do what they're told.

It's the only way
to run a place
like milhaven, jer.

It's the only way.

Come here.

Hey.

Hi. How's it going?

We're all set.
What you got?

They're being held
in a school gym

about a half a mile
south of here.

They may have been separated
into different rooms.

How many?

About 200.

We got word to them,
told them to get ready to move
as soon as you do.

All right.
You'd better get back
before they start missing you.

Hey, liberty...

How's jeremiah holding up?

He's okay.

A little dented
in a few places,
but otherwise he's fine.

Should I tell him
that you asked about him?

No, just wondering.

Keep your head down,
we're going in.

Take this. Here.

You will need it
when they come.

I won't touch it.

libby...

What're you looking at?

Nothing.

Just waiting.

For what?

santa.

'Cause it's christmas, baby.

Move, move!

davis... shit!

What's wrong?

One of the guys we trade with
just got in.

He says valhalla sector fell
three days ago.

What? What happened?

He doesn't know for sure.

All he does know
is everybody's dead.

But if it fell
three days ago...

We've been tricked.

Dammit.

Tell the others.

Get some of our guys up here,
double up on the prisoners.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Hey!

Come on.

Well, hello, boys.

Oh!

Yeah, you'd better run.

Any problems?

These guys are spread out
all over the place.

It's going to be inch-by-inch
for a while.

Come on.

Any more reports
of fighting?

No,
not since dawn.

And the guys
in charge?

No sign of 'em.

Kurdy's tracking 'em
down, although...

I wouldn't hold out
much hope,

even with
the extra help.

Once people saw
what was going on
around here,

they split the party
pretty fast.

Sounds like
they've had it

pretty rough here
for a while,
which is a shame,

because from what
i can tell,

valhalla sector
managed to rebuild

a lot of
the infrastructure here.

Yeah, they just,
you know,
didn't share the wealth,

kept it
all to themselves.

Mm-hmm.

What do you mean
mm-hmm?

We said we were
going to move into
the outside world.

Make a statement.

This town would be
a good place

to start turning
things around.

Take what the outside
world had exploited,

give it direction,
purpose.

Continue the rebuilding,

but not just the favored
few and powerful.

Besides, this was
a transit point
for valhalla sector,

which means a lot people
will be coming through
all the time.

It'd be a good hub
for us.

I agree.

Just have to find
the right people to run it,

do the job right.

Yeah.

Which brings me
to you.

You've always talked about
all those years on the road
you spent dreaming about

what it'd be like
to have a home,

a real home,

in a town like this.

Be stable for a while.

i'd like to put you in charge
of putting this place
back together.

You've done us
a lot of good
on the road, jeremiah,

but this is potentially
a lot more important.

I don't know about being...

You know, down in one spot.

You know, it's...
It's hard sometimes,

but I like being able
to move around.

That's my point.

You've been out there,
scraping by just like them.

You'll have their respect
a lot faster

than if we send somebody
from the mountain,

and i've been thinking
about asking libby
to stick around, too.

She knows the town,
they know her,

and she knows you.

When are you thinking
of pulling the trigger?

Not for a while.
We have to clear out
some of the problems here

before we can bring
somebody in to
actually run the place.

Figure on another few weeks.

Well, i'll give it a shot.

You think this is a good idea?

All my ideas
are good ideas.

markus, your modesty
knows no end.

Thank you.

That's 'cause it knows
no beginning, either.

I can live with that.

How's it going?

Okay.

You're new here,
right?

Yeah,
i just got in.

i'm a friend
of kurdy's, actually.

Great guy.

Yeah,
yeah, he is.

So, where're you from
originally?

Me? new orleans.

new orleans.
No kidding?

Me too.
How about that?

We have something
in common.

Guess that makes us
practically homeboys,
doesn't it?

Yo.
Heard you were
looking for me.

Kurdy. Yeah, come on in.

Any news
on the milhaven guys?

The main guys? Nothing.
I think they got clear.

We're still tracking down
some of the lower-level guys.

Well, hopefully
it won't be a problem

now that they've lost
their power base.

You heard about jeremiah?

Yeah, and I think
once that place is ready,

he'll do well over there.

Good.

Anyway, that's all.
I appreciate the update.

Let me ask you a question.

Sure.

What is fractal theory?

Uh...

Fractal theory
is a part of chaos theory.

It describes
a series of identical
geometric patterns

nested one inside the other
to infinity.

Here, let's, um, let's...

Check it out.

And this gives us
chaos theory,

which says that
the presence of chaos

may actually produce order
and patterns, like this,

on a much larger scale.

Chaos may actually
be necessary
for order to develop,

and not just order,
but beauty.

What are those
two dark areas?

Every fractal
has a moment of transition

where it can grow one way
or the other,

depending on which
strange attractor
it's drawn to.

Strange attractor...

A set of points

such that all trajectories
nearby are drawn to it.

Okay, well,
i know what it does,
but what is it, markus?

No one knows.

They can see the effect it has
on what's around it,

but science actually
hasn't figured out

what it is.

Some people think
it's the final proof
of the existence of god,

because, like god,
we can see the effect

as it repeats the pattern
infinitely throughout time,

creating beauty and order
out of chaos,

but to define what it is...

Not possible.

But there's always one
strange attractor
in the bunch,

huh?

No, actually.

Oddly enough,
there are usually two,

and everything
that happens around them

is defined
by that division.

The greater the chaos,

the greater the beauty
that comes out of it.

Assuming that
everything follows

the right
strange attractor,

because that's what
shapes the world around it.

Hey. I saw your fire.
It's cold.

I didn't get a chance
to grab my coat.

All right if I join you?

Thanks.

So, which way you heading?

East.

There's somebody
i want to see.

You?

East.

I want to see this daniel
with my own eyes.

New world coming.

I want to be part of it.
