Iodine (2009) | English | Mystery

[00:00:05]You look across the lake, all the life that we know about happens on this little strip.

[00:00:13]The energy, everything, it's all on a single surface, framed by the sky and the water.

[00:00:23]And it's the frame that takes up most of our view.

[00:00:27]How is it that we only experience the horizon?

[00:00:43]It's complete isolation. Like absolute isolation. And the more I think about it, the more true it becomes. We're all born alone and we die alone. And everything everything in between is just an illusion.

[00:00:58]So, it doesn't matter if I love or if someone loves me because that's just that's just additional stimuli to distract consciousness, you know, until it's done being conscious. I guess >> that sounds painful. Laura, >> it is painful. That's what I'm saying.

[00:01:14]But it's not even real pain, though. And once you know that, it becomes pointless.

[00:01:19]>> Just can we just stop and take a moment um just to collect our thoughts?

[00:01:26]Um, yeah. Just >> I mean, what do you do if you know that the pain you experience is just an illusion? It doesn't exist. It's just a difference in stimulation or a lack a lack of stimulation that you're used to receiving on a regular basis to keep you content and contained in this useless, useless existence.

[00:01:54]Um, I'll see everyone next week, I guess. And, uh, bring in your journals for the trade grade. And some of you still owe me your your contact trees.

[00:02:39]I didn't know it was you. Okay. And I didn't hit you because you weren't moving. I just I I thought you were about to move and I I >> I'm okay.

[00:02:50]>> Are you okay?

[00:02:52]>> Yeah, I'm okay. Are you okay?

[00:02:55]>> Yeah, I'm okay, >> man.

[00:02:58]Okay.

[00:03:00]>> I don't think there's any damage. So, >> no. No damage. Don't worry about it.

[00:03:06]>> Why would I worry?

[00:03:09]>> Yeah, don't worry about it.

[00:03:10]>> But why would I, though? Why should I worry about something like this?

[00:03:15]>> You shouldn't. Don't worry.

[00:03:19]>> Okay, look. I didn't mean that in a mean way.

[00:03:21]>> I know.

[00:03:22]>> No, you think I'm crazy, and I meant that in a mean way, but I didn't. And I didn't hit you because of what you said back in group.

[00:03:31]>> I don't think you're crazy. And when I say that I know what you mean, I literally mean that I know what you mean. And because of this shared knowledge that we have of the the bigger thing that's out there, then you can't say that you didn't hit me because of what I said back in group.

[00:03:48]You have no way of knowing that.

[00:04:10]Okay.

[00:04:11]>> Hey, >> um I think we're supposed to exchange numbers, you know, for insurance in case of whiplash or >> Okay. Uh yeah, >> here. This is me.

[00:04:28]>> Thanks.

[00:05:00]Well, here's a guitar. Can you play the guitar part for me for me?

[00:05:14]>> Okay, guys. Uh, we're going to do it again. This time I need the cha at the end of each crunch to sound like you're actually biting into a potato chip.

[00:05:25]>> One, two, three.

[00:05:28]>> You're going to crunch into.

[00:05:37]>> That was good.

[00:05:38]>> You can do better.

[00:05:53]>> [music] >> Hello, >> John. Dad didn't come back this weekend.

[00:06:12]He was supposed to come down Sunday and he and he didn't. And it's Tuesday and this is serious.

[00:06:21]>> What time is it?

[00:06:23]>> Hey, John. Dad was supposed to come back and I've tried calling the cottage line, but it just keeps ringing to voicemail.

[00:06:31]>> Ben, he's probably not there.

[00:06:37]He's probably out with his friends.

[00:06:39]>> No, John. I talked to him Friday night.

[00:06:42]He He was supposed to come over yesterday morning to watch the twins.

[00:06:48]He knew about this and he's probably he's probably on one of his wilderness trucks and he's uh he lost track of time.

[00:07:00]>> John, I would go up, but I'm with the twins.

[00:07:04]And I'm sorry you're no babysitter.

[00:07:07]The police, they said they can't do anything until we confirm that he's missing.

[00:07:12]>> Marissa, what the [ __ ] You called the police?

[00:07:15]>> Yes, John. I called the police. This is serious.

[00:07:23]>> You want me to drive up and find dad?

[00:07:25]>> Yes.

[00:09:16]Hi, Da. Brownies. Wondering if you wanted me to save you some. Kate, love you. Dada. Well, you didn't call me back in time, so I ate all the brownies. They were delicious.

[00:09:29]Okay, call me.

[00:09:31]>> Hi, Jack. Johnny Walker here. Uh, you were probably up with a windstorm last night. Anyways, blew off my deck. I'm just looking for maybe it's down on your end. Give me a call when he gets it.

[00:09:44]Thanks, >> Dad.

[00:09:46]>> Daddy, I'm getting really worried about you. I love you, Papa.

[00:09:51]>> Call me.

[00:09:54]>> I guess you're out. I I just want to remind you that you said you'd babysit, and you know, it's fine if you can't.

[00:10:00]You just need to let me know because I have to cancel [crying] scrapbook. Okay, which is no problem. Okay, >> there's no problem.

[00:10:08]>> Dad, >> call me. Okay, I love you. Bye. Bye.

[00:10:19]>> Hello, Daddy.

[00:10:20]>> Hey.

[00:10:21]>> Why didn't you call me back earlier? I was worried about you. Is everything >> Sorry, I uh >> Okay. Is he up there? No, I I couldn't.

[00:10:31]Um I haven't I haven't haven't seen him yet.

[00:10:34]>> Yet.

[00:10:35]>> Oh, no.

[00:10:37]>> Look, I've only All I did was I I ran around the island and I checked all the rooms and he's not there. But I'm going to do the property in the morning and then I'll probably head up to the rapids and uh see if he's camping.

[00:10:48]>> John, >> what I'm going to I'm going to wake up in the morning and I'm going to go look.

[00:10:54]John, it's been a real long time now, and I I think we need to call for help.

[00:11:04]>> What's a real long time for you? And who do you want to call for help?

[00:11:08]>> What do you mean, who do I want to call?

[00:11:10]I want to call the police.

[00:11:13]>> The police.

[00:11:16]>> Yes, the police. Please, John.

[00:11:20]>> Hold on.

[00:11:36]Yeah, >> John.

[00:11:40]Okay, listen to me.

[00:11:43]He should have been back by now. This is It's way too long.

[00:11:50]And if you're saying Oh my.

[00:11:52]>> If you're saying that you looked around and he's not anywhere, then then we can call them. You can call them, John. You can tell them that that he's missing. Oh my gosh. John, look, Marissa, it's going to get dark soon, okay? And I'm not going to drive back to the marina in the dark. So, it's going to have to wait till the morning anyhow.

[00:12:14]So, I will I will give you a call in the morning.

[00:12:30]Jack, Jack.

[00:14:43]Jack.

[00:14:55]>> Hey, can I help you, >> John?

[00:15:02]>> Yeah.

[00:15:03]>> You're Jack's boy?

[00:15:05]>> Yeah.

[00:15:06]>> That's great. I'm Avery. I'm a friend of your dad's.

[00:15:10]>> Oh, great.

[00:15:11]>> Yeah. I live at the uh old hunt club up by the mouth of the narrows.

[00:15:15]>> Yeah.

[00:15:16]>> Yeah. Wow. I didn't know you were coming up.

[00:15:20]>> Yeah, neither did I. I actually Have you uh Have you seen my dad around?

[00:15:26]>> Well, Jack, well, he was over at my house the other day, you know, of Saturday.

[00:15:41]He's not home.

[00:15:43]>> No, I don't know where he is. I I went down to the rapids today to see if he was uh camping there, but uh I didn't see him. Oh, >> have you checked around the property, Jack?

[00:15:52]>> Go ahead. Sorry.

[00:15:53]>> Sorry.

[00:15:54]>> I'm sorry. Go ahead.

[00:15:55]>> Uh no, I was just wondering if you know any other spots he would be at. I haven't been up here for a few years and all I know about is the rapids for camping.

[00:16:03]>> Yeah. Well, uh the rapids. Yeah. Well, he goes camping a lot, but he's only ever mentioned the rapids. I went down to the uh train bridge a couple of weeks ago. I noticed the plateau was pretty well dried up. I told him about it. Maybe he went down there to check out the fishing, you know, did did an overnight. He's not in the city.

[00:16:24]>> No, he was supposed to be actually.

[00:16:25]That's why I'm up here. He uh supposed to babysit for my sister.

[00:16:29]>> Huh.

[00:16:29]>> Uh babysit the kids and well, he didn't show up, so she got worried and that's why I'm up here.

[00:16:35]>> Yeah. Yeah, I bring him a jug of water every week. You know, he's too embarrassed to go to the marina by himself. He's Cuz the pickrol aren't biting. [laughter] Tons of bass. Tons. No picker.

[00:16:51][laughter] Yeah. Everybody's pipes burst this winter, you know. Harsh. It was harsh.

[00:16:59]And us old guys, you know, we're afraid of drinking the lead from the damage.

[00:17:03]Oh, >> I can pass this off to you then.

[00:17:07]>> Yeah, of course.

[00:17:10]>> There you go.

[00:17:10]>> Thanks.

[00:17:23]>> Yeah. Well, it's probably too late for me to head out tonight. So, for the train bridge, I'll have to do it tomorrow.

[00:17:30]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess that's a good idea. Yeah. Well, you know where I live now. You need any help, just come on by.

[00:17:37]>> Thank you.

[00:17:38]>> I'm sure your dad's running around here somewhere. I wouldn't worry about it.

[00:17:46]>> Hello.

[00:17:47]>> Hi, >> John. What's going on up there? What?

[00:17:50]Where have you been? I've been calling you all day. Did you get any of my messages?

[00:17:56]>> No. So, you can tell me now.

[00:18:01]Hello, >> John.

[00:18:04]>> Yeah. Hi.

[00:18:07]>> John, >> listen.

[00:18:14]I I talked to this guy today, okay? And he seemed nice, but he's something seemed off, and I want to go and talk to him again. I want to um I need to go and talk to him.

[00:18:31]>> Did he do something to dad?

[00:18:33]>> Marissa, I don't know that. I had to go talk to him.

[00:18:41]>> Call the police. That's what they're there for.

[00:18:46]>> We can do that, Marissa. We can call them. We will. Okay, we'll call them.

[00:18:50]But first, if your craziness is correct and this guy did something to dad, then maybe I should go over there first and talk to him, right? See what's going on and get some information out of him. If if I go over there and he sees cops coming over, >> are you taking your meds, >> Marissa? I agree with you. Listen to what I'm saying. I agree with you.

[00:19:16]Something is up. So, let me figure it out. I'll call you tomorrow.

[00:19:35][music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Heat up here.

[00:22:47]>> [snorts] >> Hey, John. How are we doing?

[00:23:58]>> Good. I uh >> Come on in. Come on in. Hey, your hair is all wet.

[00:24:04]>> Yeah, I was in the water for a bit.

[00:24:06]>> Ah, well, have a seat.

[00:24:09]>> I haven't seen this place in years.

[00:24:11]>> Yeah, I know. I didn't have the heart to redecorate. It's just too good the way it is. You want a drink? Water?

[00:24:19]Something stronger?

[00:24:20]>> Oh, yeah, whatever.

[00:24:22]>> Oh, hey, I was given this basket of flavored hot chocolates. They seem gross. You want to try one with me?

[00:24:29]>> Deal.

[00:24:30]>> All right. Is that too weird?

[00:24:32]>> No, let's do it.

[00:24:33]>> All right.

[00:24:50][laughter] My god.

[00:24:53]>> Yeah, that's a that's a good one.

[00:24:55]>> Yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't think that would work.

[00:24:59]>> [laughter] >> Uh, here you are.

[00:25:04]>> Thanks.

[00:25:05]>> English toffee. Hazelnut surprise.

[00:25:12]>> Huh?

[00:25:16]>> Surprise.

[00:25:19][snorts] >> Yeah. Huh. So, John, your dad tells me you're a musician.

[00:25:27]Yeah, kind of some of the time, I guess.

[00:25:31]>> What do you have to be somewhere?

[00:25:32]>> Nope.

[00:25:37]>> Uh, what do you do, Avery?

[00:25:40]>> Oh, I'm a physics professor, Columbia with your dad.

[00:25:46]Good old Columbia University.

[00:25:48]We're doing some work up here.

[00:25:51]He's the one that suggested this part of the country. It's beautiful.

[00:25:55]I can't leave.

[00:25:57]>> Yeah. No, it's it's really nice up here.

[00:25:58]I uh I used to come up here all the time when I was a kid and I remember loving it.

[00:26:06]>> Why did you stop coming up?

[00:26:08]>> Well, I mean, it's it's kind of like a kid thing, right? Like running around in the forest.

[00:26:14]>> That's probably why your dad likes it so much. Feeling like a kid.

[00:26:22]>> What?

[00:26:23]>> Nothing. No, you're thinking something.

[00:26:25]>> No, I was just saying like you know my dad cuz you're friends and you guys, you know, do dick jokes and stuff like that and and say silly things, but I meant like a kid as in like the inner child and like being young at heart kind of thing and not just the way you meant it with the feeling or whatever. So, >> but are you completely different than you were yesterday?

[00:26:47]>> No. No, probably closer to the same. Ah, >> well then when do you think these changes take place?

[00:26:53]you know, like slowly over time.

[00:27:00]>> Yeah. Like if you Okay, so say you run into a person you haven't seen in a while, right? Uh and you see them and you're like, "Whoa, whoa, boy, you've changed." You know, then you can detect that in someone.

[00:27:13]>> When you run into these people you haven't seen for years, have you changed at all?

[00:27:16]>> Well, yeah, probably. But because Okay, I see what you're saying. because you're part of the equation. You can't objectively look outside and see that you're changing. Um but for someone else, you could.

[00:27:29]>> Not just someone, but anything and everything.

[00:27:37]I'll get us some water.

[00:27:39]>> Yeah, that'd be better.

[00:27:40]>> Yeah.

[00:27:42]>> Thank you.

[00:27:55]Thanks.

[00:27:56]>> Mhm.

[00:27:59]>> Hey, your dad laughed at that dick joke.

[00:28:02]>> Really?

[00:28:03]>> Mhm.

[00:28:04]>> I just don't get why it's funny, though.

[00:28:06]I uh I mean, why does it make everyone laugh?

[00:28:11]>> I don't know. I guess you know you're born, you start to learn things, you find out all the rules of society, you know what to wear, how, why, and then the uh the paramount thing that is either forgotten or just not asked about because it's too much for our minds to deal with is the consciousness of knowing that we're here.

[00:28:39]We're alive.

[00:28:42]You know, we're reacting to things.

[00:28:45]We're energy hanging onto a big ball that's floating through more energy and nothingness.

[00:28:52]Huh.

[00:28:53]>> Okay.

[00:28:54]>> Now, that dick joke is just a result, you know, of something that happened, but it went through a process. Now, our processes may be different due to circumstance, but it went through a process.

[00:29:07]This is consciousness.

[00:29:11]This is in common >> that we all have consciousness.

[00:29:16]>> Yes. But more than that, that we all share in the same consciousness.

[00:29:25]>> Just seems like a lot you have to just accept in order to go on with this train of thought.

[00:29:31]>> Well, it is, but it's everything.

[00:29:35]It's funny.

[00:29:39]It was just this way when your father and I first stumbled upon it.

[00:29:42]>> Upon what?

[00:29:44]>> What we're working towards.

[00:29:47]>> It started just like this conversation.

[00:29:52]>> Okay. But what what's the actual What were you working on? Like what was the actual thing?

[00:30:00]>> I don't know how to say it without sounding rude.

[00:30:05]>> Try it.

[00:30:07]Well, okay. Um, let's say you go back in time, and I'm not talking about a time machine. All right. Let's just say for whatever reason, you go back in time and you're hanging around some cavemen. Okay?

[00:30:21]Now, they've got the wheel thing all solved and the fire is still going strong and you decide that you want to tell them all about television.

[00:30:32]Yeah. You're going to sit them down and explain to them how a TV is made, what it does, and more than that, you're going to find a logical way to convince them that this is the truth and that a TV will work and will happen.

[00:30:48]>> So, you mean you just decide to blow their minds?

[00:30:51]>> Yes. Yes.

[00:30:54]But they can't build a TV and that's just it. You see? I mean, they can't solder wires. They don't know how to build an antenna.

[00:31:05]They haven't gone through the million steps of learning and evolution that must take place in order to reach an invention like television.

[00:31:15]And even if they had television, they'd probably spend all of their time watching it instead of inventing a slingshot or something.

[00:31:22]>> So, you're saying maybe I'm too dumb to understand what you and my dad were working on?

[00:31:25]>> No, no. I'm just >> Well, I wasn't asking for any fancy numbers.

[00:31:28]>> Let me explain, please. What I'm trying to say, the thing that I'm explaining poorly is that perhaps in some way the thing your father and I are working on is something that is beyond us. You, me, him, all of us. We feel that it is something that isn't meant for our minds. At least our minds as they are today.

[00:31:49]That it's something that we stumbled on accidentally.

[00:31:52]And that it's something that can't really happen or even be conceived of until some point in the future.

[00:31:59]Maybe never.

[00:32:00]>> So why can't you just tell me then?

[00:32:03]>> It's not an object or a super TV of the future. It's it's a thought, John.

[00:32:11]A method of thinking.

[00:32:14]It also requires a certain amount of steps or evolutionary occurrences to precede it before it can even seem attainable.

[00:32:34]Yeah, I didn't even tell you. I I I didn't find my dad today.

[00:32:37]>> Oh, Christ. What's the matter with me? I didn't even ask about that. Yeah, I'm sorry. You know, I wouldn't worry. He's probably up by the train bridge camping.

[00:32:48]>> Well, no, actually, that's that's where I went. I uh looked over the whole area, and actually the water was up, too. It was deep enough for me to jump.

[00:32:57]>> Yeah.

[00:32:57]>> Yeah.

[00:32:59]>> That's strange.

[00:33:01]Well, hey, if the water level is that high, he could be up the creek at the pools.

[00:33:06]>> The pools?

[00:33:07]>> Well, that's what I call them. Yeah, up the creek.

[00:33:10]>> Is it far from here?

[00:33:12]>> No, not really.

[00:33:15]>> Can you take me >> now?

[00:33:18]>> Well, unless you're busy.

[00:33:23]New boots.

[00:33:25]>> Yeah, it's my first trek in them. I'm breaking them in.

[00:33:34]>> Okay. So, maybe you try. All right.

[00:33:36]Maybe uh what what's the first thing that I should know on route to my uh evolutionary experience? Well, I I mean I I imagine you and my dad were trying to, you know, plot the dots along there of uh what's going to lead us to this next futuristic revelation. But uh so no, seriously, use me. Use me as your guinea pig. What What's the next thing that I should know in order to reach this uh scientific enlightenment?

[00:34:03]>> You know, I detect a sense of sarcasm in your voice, but uh this uh proposition has merit. So, let's just humor each other, shall we? All right. Come sit.

[00:34:14][clears throat] This is your soul. All right? Your being conscious to the world. All right? And we will define this this meaning everything that we're going through right now as one. Now, at some point, we die. Okay? Or or our bodies die anyway.

[00:34:32]We and we don't know what happens after we die. We're not sure of that. But we do know that this one becomes a zero. Okay. Okay. Now we've been expressed as one and zero. Our experiences, our lifetime has been whole and void. Okay. Now if we equate these two things together, that that means we multiply them together, we come up with zero again. See 1* 0 equals zero. Now remember the equal sign means that both things that are happening on either side are equal to each other. And and more than that, in fact, they are the very same thing. It it it shows that everything is equal to everything else.

[00:35:17]Everything is everything.

[00:35:18]>> Okay. That loses me right there. That I don't understand how everything can be that it's zero at the same time as nothing.

[00:35:25]>> Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:35:27]See this?

[00:35:28]>> Yeah.

[00:35:29]>> This is a three-dimensional object, correct?

[00:35:32]>> Yeah.

[00:35:32]>> All right.

[00:35:38]What's that?

[00:35:39]It's a shadow.

[00:35:40]>> A shadow. A two-dimensional shadow of a three-dimensional object. Okay. Now, let's say you're born, you learn to walk, you kiss a girl, you have a little fun, you know, you have a kid, and then you die. What if all of that or all of this is just a shadow of something else?

[00:36:01]>> You mean like there's a higher dimension?

[00:36:03]>> Maybe. Maybe.

[00:36:06]Or maybe what we're experiencing this zero is just the result of a constant process.

[00:36:18]Something that's happening to everything.

[00:36:29]>> I don't see your dad anywhere.

[00:36:32]Do you?

[00:36:33]>> No. We should probably head back.

[00:36:36]Huh?

[00:36:40]Yeah. Okay.

[00:36:47]>> Okay. Who are you and what have you done with my cousin?

[00:36:53][laughter] >> Are we clear?

[00:36:55]>> Crystal, [laughter] what?

[00:37:01]>> I think your hands are still stuck around my Intelligent reports did hint at the possibility of an earlier attack this year at an East Coast facility. However, those claims were ultimately falsified.

[00:37:13]Following the interception of some of the terrorists outside the nuclear facility this morning, data recovered from the hard drive found in their vehicle did reference the affforementioned date. For more on this near disaster, we join Elliot Floyd in Washington DC.

[00:37:25]>> Thanks, Joanne. Just a few moments ago, press secretary Stevens addressed the media with few words and fewer answers.

[00:37:34]At this moment, the president is not ready to address the public or the media with any statement. He is currently still being debriefed by the by FEMA along with the Secret Service and the CIA. It is still our full belief that the actions today were acts independent of any larger terrorist organization.

[00:37:52]Nor was the president or his family a direct target of these attacks. However, [music] investigations are still ongoing in all possible platforms and all claims thus far responsibility have been disproved.

[00:38:26]John.

[00:38:27]>> Hey.

[00:38:28]>> John, [sighs] what's going on there? Why haven't you called?

[00:38:33]>> Marissa, calm down.

[00:38:37]>> Don't tell me to calm down.

[00:38:39]>> Marissa, you're having a tantrum. You're having an [snorts] actual tantrum on the phone with me [music] right now. Give Sandra a call. Have her come over and just go [ __ ] go and walk outside. Okay. And you'll calm down.

[00:38:58]>> I called the police, John.

[00:39:01]>> No, you didn't.

[00:39:02]>> Yes, I did. I called. They want you to call them.

[00:39:06]>> Did they say that?

[00:39:07]>> Yes. They want you to call and confirm that dad isn't up there.

[00:39:12]>> Well, I don't know that yet.

[00:39:16]>> John, is a [ __ ] missing person's gay?

[00:39:22]>> I just want you to hear me out for a second, okay?

[00:39:25]Just just listen to what I'm saying for one second. Okay.

[00:39:33]>> Okay.

[00:39:34]>> Yeah. Okay.

[00:39:39]This this man up here, he he says he works with dad and that they've been working on something together, but it doesn't make sense.

[00:40:06]There's something he's [music] not telling me.

[00:40:11]I just need a bit more time with him and he'll be done.

[00:40:18]We can work this out a lot faster [music] this way.

[00:40:25]Yeah. In a big way, a very real way. We have become our own gods.

[00:40:33][music] And this has not been addressed enough that everything preceding human beings on the evolutionary chain has evolved through natural selection, survival of the fittest.

[00:40:45]Now we have the conscious ability to choose [music] the best evolutionary traits. Now you may argue that um this is just a more complex example of survival of the fittest. Evolution is now very much in our control.

[00:41:04]People are becoming taller, stronger, faster, smarter, all pro-evolutionary traits. However, with this technological [music] boom we're experiencing, we may soon see a drastic shift in pro-evolutionary descriptions [music] for the first time in history.

[00:41:20]As technology is merely an extension of a person's capabilities, like a hammer is a stronger arm, certain characteristics may begin to take on a greater importance [snorts] because now a critical mass is being reached. And a big part of that, perhaps the only part of it is an incentive based [music] reaction to all stimuli.

[00:41:53]But here in lies the problem. You know, once an environment is based on pure stimuli is incentive, meaning that the incentive is [music] just the act of being stimulated, then growth or evolution can be hindered [music] or halted or sended to a less desirable direction than a projected comparison.

[00:42:15]The way that money is held as an idea is a huge indication of this.

[00:42:21]Money in a sense is supposed to be just a contract of goods and services.

[00:42:27]But a problem now arises where money can be accumulated to the point of wealth.

[00:42:32]To have more money i.e. goods and services than [music] one is required in one's personal comfortable survival.

[00:42:42]This means that an excess now occurs with the stimuli that you seek out of life. Extra money can buy you 10 huge TVs and lots [music] of chocolate which tastes great. But the problem here is that the incentive to get more stimuli is too great. [music] And this is a problem because no longer a correct route or natural evolution can be taken to evolve a human being or a human race as a whole.

[00:43:11]The need to seek out religion, knowledge, or love can become secondary under this model.

[00:43:16]>> Yeah. The very real danger is that when someone who does have greater evolutionary traits fails to reproduce successfully because they don't have enough Gucci to attract a mate, then a lesser species can prevail.

[00:43:30][laughter] Yeah. And then you can also win the lottery, right? All right. All right.

[00:43:37]this. Let's finish our readings for next week and then we'll discuss some thesis topics. Thank you all.

[00:43:43][clears throat] >> Yeah. I'm sorry, John. Hope you didn't mind waiting.

[00:43:53]>> No, that's okay.

[00:43:53]>> I didn't think I'd be that much longer.

[00:43:54]I didn't want to yell go away out the window.

[00:43:58]>> That's cool. Did you actually want me to go away, though?

[00:44:00]>> No, I was just kidding.

[00:44:03]>> Yeah, I was just kidding, too.

[00:44:04]>> I'm kidding, too. And I'm I'm kidding right now as well.

[00:44:07]>> You want some hot chocolate?

[00:44:09]>> No.

[00:44:13]>> What are you looking for?

[00:44:15]>> The toilet.

[00:44:19]>> Yeah.

[00:44:20]>> Okay. [clears throat] Come on. Outside.

[00:44:24]>> Like how lazy is this, huh?

[00:44:26]>> Yeah.

[00:44:29]>> Yeah.

[00:44:33][sighs] Yeah. So, um, what brings you over?

[00:44:52]>> Do you know what these are for?

[00:44:55]>> Yes, I do.

[00:44:59]>> What?

[00:45:00]>> Where'd you find those?

[00:45:02]>> All over. wrote it before.

[00:45:06]>> Did you hear about the nuclear meltdown?

[00:45:09]>> Yeah, I caught it on the news last.

[00:45:10]>> I'd like to get your opinion on that.

[00:45:12]Could be very helpful to me if we could talk about that first before anything else. All right. Now, I I'll tell you about those. I know what they're for.

[00:45:21]But first, I want to hear your ideas on what you saw in the news last night.

[00:45:28]>> I'm not sure I follow you. You want to talk about nuclear energy and then you'll answer my question about the containers?

[00:45:33]>> I know it sounds silly, doesn't it? But your unrefined thoughts, just as they are, >> would be very helpful to me.

[00:45:43]Okay. Well, we we'll have a conversation then.

[00:45:47]How did you feel when you heard about it?

[00:45:52]>> Well, it's just one of those things I can't even wrap my brain around.

[00:45:56]>> Yes. Yes. You know, it's just There's just so much there, right?

[00:46:02]I mean, when you look past the idea that people are trying to make power energy, that's okay life, right?

[00:46:11]And then it's just too much.

[00:46:15]Some force, a group of terrorists or machinery malfunction. Some force saves no one.

[00:46:33]And then on the surface I'm just, you know, I'm worried about bombs and and nuclear destruction and every gone, right?

[00:46:41]>> But to to get a glimpse of a a very real possibility that it could, you know, like someone you have someone close to you die and you go to their funeral and you think, "Oh, oh man, life is short, right?" But at but at a nuclear level that doesn't exist that it it doesn't compute. It doesn't work. You know, it's just how is it that something something can be justified to say, okay, for the earth to keep on going as it is, two billion people have to die and then they're gone.

[00:47:11]>> And then I mean, I I understand the whole comic book philosophy like humanity is destined to destroy itself. But >> but at a at a single level, like a person like like myself, it it it doesn't doesn't work. It doesn't make sense.

[00:47:26]>> I agree. I agree.

[00:47:29]Okay.

[00:47:30]>> Okay.

[00:47:34]>> Now this.

[00:47:37]>> Follow me.

[00:48:08]What is it? What are the pills?

[00:48:12]>> Iodine.

[00:48:14]They're iodine pills.

[00:48:17]>> I don't get it. Are all these boxes filled with the same thing?

[00:48:21]about a quarter of a million iodine pills.

[00:48:24]>> I don't I >> It purifies water. You take water right out of the lake, you drop in an iodine pill. It's clean, pure, drinkable. Now, of course, the quality of the water will vary according to the initial location [music] of your source.

[00:48:40]Generally speaking, the further out you go towards the center of the lake, the cleaner the water. Takes far less pills to purify your sample. That's why you've been finding all these little things all over. I've been taking samples all around the lake. I generally am a little better at picking up after myself, though.

[00:48:57]>> So, why was this all made so secret to me then?

[00:49:02]>> Come on. I want to show you something.

[00:49:11]In my position, my academic position, I am made aware of certain happenings that occur.

[00:49:22]You see that contrail from a jet, right?

[00:49:26]>> Yeah.

[00:49:28]>> You see those every day, you know, in the sky, similar flight patterns.

[00:49:33]Most of what you see up there, about 99% of it is just that.

[00:49:37]But one of the new things being developed are chemtrails.

[00:49:43]And these are artificially produced using signature chemical compounds being tested in a variety of geometric patterns, often a kind of thatching.

[00:49:57]And this is nothing new. I mean, this this technology and information has been leaked since the 70s.

[00:50:05]And often the resulting conspiracy theories was that the government was working on either uh anything from uh patching the ozone to climate control all the way to biochemical warfare. And all of that is true, but in recent years, technology is being used in a new evil.

[00:50:25]>> I don't get it. could be worse than biochemical warfare.

[00:50:32]>> A defense shield. A nuclear defense shield.

[00:50:37]>> I thought a defense shield was just the idea of enough Patriot missiles around the coastlines to intercept any, you know, incoming missiles or >> Yeah, that's what that is. Yes, that.

[00:50:48]But this is something entirely different. If we launch nuclear weapons from North America, it doesn't matter who did it first or how it happened or why. Because you have to understand that both sides will be firing within minutes of each other and every continent will be hit. But if we had an atmosphere that could diffuse the spread of biological effects post detonation, we could survive.

[00:51:24]Of course, nothing could be done for the casualties from the ground zero impact.

[00:51:29]You know, millions whatever fried. But those further away, no radiation effect, no nuclear winter, no significant loss of vegetation.

[00:51:42]Now there would no longer be a break even mutual loss proposition. This chemical defense shield would give us the edge of victory.

[00:51:54]And because of that, it'll be worthwhile.

[00:51:58]Okay, I follow. But is this is this something like you planned or you you made and you or you know people that have a bomb and they're going to do this or >> No, it has nothing to do with me.

[00:52:15]>> There is no plan. That's what I've been saying. There's no need for a plan.

[00:52:20]the fact that it is now a technology and that we're on the winning side, then it will happen.

[00:52:32]>> Why all the iodine?

[00:52:35][sighs] >> Well, in a post-nuclear world, we're back to trade.

[00:52:43]Economies collapse. Money is paper.

[00:52:46]Iodine.

[00:52:48]First off, taken orally, protects our thyroid from developing cancer from fallout.

[00:52:55]Of course, too much of it is bad, obviously, fatal, even. But most importantly, iodine makes drinkable water.

[00:53:06]It's one of the few things that under any hell I can dream up will be worth something.

[00:53:14]That's what we will all have in common.

[00:53:16]Water. It's all around us and in us. It is us.

[00:53:22]People are going to need water. Purified water.

[00:53:26]I mean, there are no guarantees what this world will look like. What systems, [music] if any, will be functioning. I mean, even finding a pot to boil water in will be hard. Metals could lock in any radiation they're subject to. Every body [music] of water is part of the same cycle. It will all be suspect.

[00:53:45]I figure my best chance of survival, and of course the survival of others around me, will be to secure a clean water supply until natural springs can be reformed.

[00:53:56]>> John, now you have to call.

[00:54:01]What's wrong with you? What What's wrong with you, John?

[00:54:06]>> Yeah, this is Deputy Greg Peele calling from the York Sheriff's Department. I'm calling for uh John Clint.

[00:54:14]I received a distressing call from your sister Marissa early this morning about a possible missing person, Jack Clam.

[00:54:21]Um, it would be best if you could call me back here at these stations.

[00:54:25]I hope you have cold display. I don't know my direct number just yet. You can always call 911 and thanks.

[00:54:34]>> Hi. Um, this is Laura calling for John.

[00:54:38]John, you gave me your number, but the machine there said to call this number, but this machine sounds like an older person. So, yeah, I don't know. But, uh, anyways, this is Laura calling from group from the car accident. And, uh, yeah, I'm totally fine, by the way, but I just didn't see you in group this week, and we didn't have a sub or anything, so just call me, okay?

[00:55:04]Truth is that my anxiety is acting up, okay? Okay. And in my mind, you're dying of internal [music] bleeding or something from the acronym. So I I just need to know that you're not so I can plead. Anyways, you have my number, so just call me.

[00:55:17]And yeah, I'm sorry if this is the wrong number and you're an old man. Not that you're old or that there's anything wrong with that, but I just thought I was talking to John.

[00:55:25]Okay, bye.

[00:55:30][music] Sorry about that. It's okay.

[00:55:54]Sorry.

[00:55:55]>> Thanks.

[00:56:01]I've never been on a deserted island before.

[00:56:05]>> Well, it's not really deserted now, is it?

[00:56:09]>> I guess not.

[00:56:13]>> Wow.

[00:56:17]Your dad lives up here?

[00:56:20]>> Yeah, most of the time.

[00:56:29]And you're sure it's not weird that I'm here?

[00:56:32]>> No, not at all. I mean, to be perfectly honest, I didn't really expect you to make the trip up here, but uh now that you're here, it's it's uh it's perfectly normal.

[00:56:50]>> Do I remind you of a a ballerina, maybe?

[00:56:54]Yeah, maybe.

[00:56:55]>> Yeah, maybe.

[00:56:57]>> Did you want to um I read that in a way when you see something beautiful, you're actually just recognizing the fact that you're beautiful.

[00:57:19]And it's your ability to see the beauty.

[00:57:23]That's the beautiful thing.

[00:57:29]There's a symmetry in nature.

[00:57:35]Partnership.

[00:57:37]Everything is synchronized.

[00:57:40]Everything exists the way it does because it has to.

[00:57:46]It can only fit in that exact way.

[00:57:54]In a way, it only exists because it does fit and it's all around us.

[00:58:16]John, John, John here.

[00:58:25]What is it? What's wrong?

[00:58:27]>> I think something is happening.

[00:58:30]>> What?

[00:58:31]>> What's happening?

[00:58:33]>> I haven't seen my dad in over a week.

[00:58:37]Can't keep on making up excuses in my head anymore.

[00:58:41]I think something's happened to him.

[00:58:46]>> Then you need to call the police.

[00:58:48]>> We did.

[00:58:51]My sister did.

[00:58:53]>> Yeah, I need to call them too.

[00:58:56]I will.

[00:59:00]>> You know, if something bad happened to him, the police can help.

[00:59:06]>> That's just it.

[00:59:09]I don't think anything bad happened.

[00:59:17]You don't be mad at me for asking, but have you been taking your meds since you've been up here?

[00:59:28]>> There's this man up here, >> John.

[00:59:34]Uh, I just brought up an overnight bake at the restaurant in the city, but uh, I haven't really needed my med since I've been up here.

[00:59:41]>> Maybe not now, but you know, you could crash once the chemicals leave your system.

[00:59:47]It's really dangerous.

[00:59:58]I've seen you.

[01:00:03]I've seen you lift this kind of thing before.

[01:00:09]You felt something else before. [music] Something that you couldn't explain.

[01:00:16]No matter how hard you tried and all you wanted was for someone to believe it, to believe you.

[01:00:27]What was going on in your mind?

[01:00:33]I have to figure this one out.

[01:00:57]Tell me a story.

[01:01:07]The other night I had a late night session planned and I had to get the get it done by the morning. So I went out to get a large towering coffee.

[01:01:25]I love coffee.

[01:01:28]As they left, they noticed a group of teenagers across the street gathered around the tube of a greasy spoon. There's this guy and he was doing some sort of standup comedy thing like wasn't a bed or anything planned.

[01:01:44]I think he was maybe just leaving the place with one or two friends and he was making a joke on the way out and they stopped to laugh at it.

[01:01:55]He was on a roll, so he just kept on going casually just making his friends laugh. And I guess as people continued to enter and exit, they they got earshot this routine and stopped to listen and they found it funny. So they stayed and that just made more people gather.

[01:02:17]Now the guy had to perform. He created this audience out of nothing.

[01:02:23][laughter] I mean, he was wearing a a backpack around his shoulder, was clearly going somewhere, but all these things lined up to make this happen.

[01:02:33]It was a moment.

[01:02:36]No one else was getting paid. It wasn't known as an event where something was expected. It was humans connecting naturally.

[01:02:49]When did we learn how [laughter] to behave?

[01:02:52]Can all this energy occupies in such close proximity but remains so idle?

[01:03:03]Something has to happen.

[01:03:09]What have you heard about um that whole nuclear attack thing?

[01:03:17]>> What?

[01:03:20]They just said that it didn't really succeed and that the terrorist group was small, isolated.

[01:03:33]Why?

[01:03:39]Um, I just really haven't been watching TV since I've been up here.

[01:04:45]It seems as something bigger, more encompassing is is framing all of this.

[01:04:51]>> Imagine it actually have to be life's still going on.

[01:04:53]>> See, they don't have to negotiate.

[01:04:54]>> There's no logic.

[01:04:56]>> Things that we see cannot be seen otherwise energies, you know, luckily we can sense.

[01:05:01]>> These are nukes, right? To that very moment that it's backwards.

[01:05:05]>> These results show that something is happening.

[01:05:20]Hey, I made you coffee.

[01:05:23]>> What happened?

[01:05:25]>> Oh, nothing. I fell. Went for a run and I fell. But >> you have blood and dirt all over your face.

[01:05:31]>> Yeah, but it doesn't hurt. I didn't feel the fall.

[01:05:34]>> What do you mean you didn't feel the fall?

[01:05:39]>> What do you mean you didn't feel the fall?

[01:05:40]>> Hello. Yes. Is this John Clem?

[01:05:43]>> Yes.

[01:05:44]>> This is Deputy Greg Peele calling from New York Sheriff's Department.

[01:05:48]>> Yes.

[01:05:49]>> Uh, did you get my message?

[01:05:54]>> Yes.

[01:05:56]>> Why didn't you call me back?

[01:05:58]>> Um, well, I just got your message and it wrote a lot, so I was going to actually call you back now.

[01:06:05]>> Well, like I said, we got a phone call from your sister. She seemed very distressed about the supposed disappearance of your father.

[01:06:14]>> Mhm.

[01:06:14]>> Well, you know why this is? Is your father missing?

[01:06:19]>> Um, my sister my sister's a bit disturbed at PDPO. Uh we lost her mother a couple years back and her husband walked out on her a couple months months back and um she's taken to the bottle and she used to have a bigger problem with the bottle beforehand and um well my father's a an old man. It's a grown-up, [music] you know, and he goes out and does things on his own. And my sister tends to forget this sometime.

[01:06:54]And when she hasn't heard back from him, uh, she worries.

[01:06:57]>> Is your dad up there with you right now?

[01:07:04]>> No.

[01:07:08]>> Where is he?

[01:07:12]>> I don't know.

[01:07:13]>> Well, look, we have to follow up on every call we get. happen no matter what its nature.

[01:07:19]>> I understand that and I'm sorry if my sister caused you any alarm at all, but um you know uh sorry my uh [sighs] [gasps] she there's some places up here that are uh of less discriminating taste that my father likes to frequent that um while I haven't made known to my sister since the passing of our mother. Um, I'll go check them out and I'll uh >> Well, I guess that sounds diligent enough to me. So, if you could just give me a call when he comes back.

[01:07:56]>> I'll do that. And again, I'm sorry if my sister caused you any alarm, officer.

[01:08:00]>> Not a problem. It is my job.

[01:08:03]>> Good day, sir.

[01:08:05]>> Good day.

[01:08:10]>> Thanks for taking care of me.

[01:08:13]Was that a cop?

[01:08:16]>> Yeah.

[01:08:17]>> Yeah.

[01:08:23]>> I lost my mother, too.

[01:08:29]>> I know.

[01:08:31]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:08:33][snorts] >> Hey, how high can you jump?

[01:08:36]>> What?

[01:08:37]>> How high can you jump?

[01:08:40]Uh, >> okay. But do it for real. Like how >> this is for real.

[01:08:50]>> You've got to be kidding me.

[01:08:55]>> You've got to be kidding me.

[01:08:56]>> Nope. Come on. If you don't do it, then you know what?

[01:09:02]>> What?

[01:09:03]>> Then uh then you're a big [ __ ] [ __ ] Don't pull me off. Okay, I'll go when I'm ready.

[01:09:15]>> Okay, I'm not going to whenever you're ready.

[01:09:22]>> Why is this so hard?

[01:09:23]>> Cuz it's scary.

[01:09:25]>> Yeah.

[01:09:27]Okay, then I should do it.

[01:09:47]Sounds sound is just wasted energy from a chemical reaction.

[01:09:56]That reaction results in a product sound which travels forever. And light is the same thing. Light just decides that it wants to be light.

[01:11:19]Sescame cocaine.

[01:11:33]I don't think you should leave.

[01:11:36]>> You don't think or you don't want >> both?

[01:11:42]>> I could stay till the end of the week.

[01:11:44]Or is that would that be too much?

[01:11:46]>> No, I mean like we shouldn't leave here.

[01:11:54]Are you joking right now?

[01:12:00]No, I think uh I don't think you should uh should go back to the city. Think we could stay up here and uh I got money and I got food and I can get some more food from the marina. I mean, what more do you want from the world, right, >> John? I don't know if you're being real right now.

[01:12:24]>> I am.

[01:12:31]>> No, John. But I mean, I'm not going to sit here and say I've been hurt before or whatever.

[01:12:40]It's just that I don't know what you're thinking and I have no real way of knowing. So, why even try?

[01:12:48]>> Okay. I don't believe that. That's like That's one of those uh I'm a I'm a girl and I you know I can't open up because of something kind of thing and that's not you.

[01:13:14]>> Don't tell me to calm down. Okay, think of what you just said. It's like It's like you're going crazy. Or maybe you've already gone crazy and here I am stuck on this island with you.

[01:13:27]>> That's stupid.

[01:13:28]>> No, it's not stupid. There's nothing else it could be.

[01:13:43]>> John, what are you doing?

[01:13:47]Come on, get down from there.

[01:13:50]What is this?

[01:13:52]>> I'm just doing something instinctive.

[01:13:55]This is I think we got to stop. We can't we can't have this conversation cuz it's Look, we're two of the most psychoanalytical people. And if we keep on talking like this, it's going to spiral out of control and this is going to end uh for no reason. It doesn't have to.

[01:14:19]And uh just just do something instinctive. Don't think about it. Just do it.

[01:14:27]I climbed a tree.

[01:14:32]Okay.

[01:14:52]Your dad's dead.

[01:15:03]>> Yes, he is.

[01:15:06]>> Who are you talking to?

[01:15:08]>> Your sister.

[01:15:10]>> You called my sister.

[01:15:11]>> No, I didn't call your sister. The phone rang and I picked it up.

[01:15:17]Hold on. Okay, >> Marissa, >> did you get a call from the authorities?

[01:15:25]>> Yeah, I got a call from a deputy.

[01:15:27]>> So, it's serious now and the law is involved.

[01:15:30]>> MRSA, >> listen to me. You have to now.

[01:15:34]>> Ma, I told him you were crazy. Mrs. Marissa, I told him you were crazy.

[01:16:03]And then you'll realize dad's an adult.

[01:16:05]He's doing whatever the [ __ ] he wants cuz he's growing up and he's out by himself. He doesn't have problems like you, you know? He doesn't have to worry about uh how are the twins doing and and how's the my alcohol that I'm drinking every day doing. Okay. And then you'll realize that. Okay. So, just calm down.

[01:16:37]>> I I I just Wow. Okay.

[01:16:41]Okay, John. John, John, what about what about that guy that you said, that new dad? Did you at least find something out from him?

[01:16:49]>> Yeah, that guy is just a guy and he's, you know, he's got something going on, but it's his own thing. It has nothing to do with it.

[01:16:58]>> But you said that there was something funny going on with him.

[01:17:02]>> Yeah, something funny is going on with him. Okay. And that's my thing, and I'm going to take care of that. Has nothing to do with it, >> John.

[01:17:13]I just keep thinking about this.

[01:17:17]>> Okay. I I just I just I want them to know, Dad. I want them to know him.

[01:17:23]>> Okay. Marissa, listen. I'm going to call you back tonight. Okay. Marissa.

[01:17:36]Okay.

[01:17:38]>> Okay.

[01:17:46]It works.

[01:17:50]If I stay here, John, we're going to have the argument that ends us for no other reason but perspective.

[01:18:02]We can't we can't talk right now and we don't have to end this and it might not end this way. Okay.

[01:18:16]But I had your sister fairly calm and I want to go back to the city right now.

[01:18:23]stay with her for a while.

[01:18:26]And you, you can finish or start whatever it is that's in your head up here, and we don't have to think about or try to guess what might come next.

[01:18:38]Just let me go down there, okay? I'll put her mind at ease. I'll help her rest. And you, you can do whatever you want.

[01:18:51]You can figure things out in your own time.

[01:18:56]Okay.

[01:18:58]And when it's done, >> John, you want me to put on some coffee?

[01:19:28]Sheriff's Department. Deputy Peele speaking. How may I uh Oh, yes. Uh I I made a call and um matters being looked into.

[01:19:41]Well, that's confidential information, ma'am.

[01:19:47]Well, I did make a phone call and uh I'm going to ensure that the uh you know the the current situation is is adequately being looked into.

[01:20:01]Well, first of all, ma'am, I made the phone call and look, I see I understand your concern.

[01:20:13]It's just that we're real busy up in these parts.

[01:20:16]The sheriff, well, man, he's a very busy man and he doesn't like to be disturbed.

[01:20:24]Well, that's right. And you know, in fact, he likes me to handle most of these situations. Pretty much his partner in these areas.

[01:21:16]Sheriff, it's Peele. I found a body near the location. I got breathing. I got a pulse.

[01:21:23]Got no ID just yet, but uh he better send some backup. I got to move on to the island.

[01:21:30]I have no idea. I just found the body laying here. I I just came on over.

[01:21:37]>> John, you want me to put on some coffee?

[01:21:43]>> Is it the girl? John, I know you had a girl up here the last few days.

[01:21:51]>> No, no, that's that's not it.

[01:22:28]So I I came up here as a chore for my sister and to find my dad.

[01:22:46]And a man who I've hated for years.

[01:22:55]A man who walked out on his family and a dying wife for his [ __ ] work and for this place.

[01:23:14]It's beautiful up here, too. And I know it's pretty. And I've done I've done nothing. I have I haven't f I put everything in my way to not to find him, you know, and I haven't I don't want to I don't want to call the police, dude. I don't want to call Don't make me call the police.

[01:24:00]If you call the police, that makes it real, right?

[01:24:13]You want me to help you find your father?

[01:24:16]Is that what you're asking me?

[01:24:22]>> [music] >> I want you to mark all the places you've already looked.

[01:24:31]>> You don't think you could have crossed over into Brit County?

[01:24:35]>> Yeah. See, I'm lost. Okay.

[01:24:38]>> I know.

[01:24:45][music] >> Welcome, cat.

[01:24:49]We name these things so we can talk about them, remember them, compare them against us.

[01:24:56]I can recognize your face because of something.

[01:25:00][music] But what is this initial bang? The big bang that starts us all is all stepping from the same energy is better than vice versa. That is astounding.

[01:25:16]That's the key.

[01:25:19]That's everything.

[01:25:21]It's saying that everything is the same.

[01:25:25]The exact same thing.

[01:25:28]And this equation, the spreading of that bang across everything, just washing itself over the universe, reaching out, reaching to its limit, stretching just as far as it can.

[01:25:47]slowly until until it comes to a stop.

[01:25:55]And then and then it has to come back.

[01:26:07]And what I ask is how can we detect this moment, this pause when bang becomes crunch and does this pulse, this breath, [sighs] does it repeat?

[01:26:33]And if so, can it be escaped?

[01:26:39]Can something escape this breath? [sighs] Where does it go to if it escapes this world? And does it look back at the world and experience it from the outside?

[01:26:58]What would it become?

[01:27:02]Huh? What if it's a breaker?

[01:27:12]The damn power surge again. Wonder if the whole grid's out.

[01:27:17][laughter] Feel sorry for my students, though.

[01:27:20]They'll be sitting there waiting for somebody to dismiss them.

[01:27:27]>> Hey, I wonder if you have power over at your place.

[01:27:30]God.

[01:27:35]>> Pardon?

[01:27:37]>> You become a god if if you could escape it and be on the outside and look back.

[01:27:51]You can watch it all happen again from the beginning.

[01:27:59]Except he'd already be there before everything.

[01:28:08]>> Yes.

[01:28:11]At least that's what your father and I thought.

[01:28:14]>> Thought.

[01:28:16]>> Think.

[01:28:20]What are you thinking right now?

[01:28:23]What's in your mind?

[01:28:30]What can we become to escape the end?

[01:28:41]They don't look so good.

[01:28:55]Our ideas of an afterlife or our life, they're all the same. All consciousness is zero.

[01:29:25]something our vision doesn't come just as existence the best post I first off to you can't Yes.

[01:29:46][music] [music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> It would have to be something beyond light.

[01:32:06]faster.

[01:32:08]But maybe [music] speed isn't even the concern.

[01:32:13]It would need to be pure of all things.

[01:32:16]Not a father or a son, but an accumulation of all things.

[01:32:23]And none of it all at once.

[01:32:30]That's what it was.

[01:32:32]What we found, something that could escape [music] spaceime, any idea of dimension beyond [music] all the suffering this world brings and exist again at the beginning of time and not only watch it all happen again, but reshape it.

[01:33:01]We discovered the answer before the question even existed.

[01:33:08]So you were building question.

[01:33:12]Your father wanted nothing more but to find this this state to where it could happen.

[01:33:27]Yeah. The whole transformer blew. The entire grid is off.

[01:33:31]I don't know what the hell triggered that explosion. No power.

[01:33:34]>> Is this still it? Are we still on course? Still plotting the thoughts of your experiment.

[01:33:43]>> Hey, how did he do it?

[01:33:46]>> What are you talking?

[01:33:46]>> How did he do it? [screaming] >> How did he do it?

[01:33:49]>> John, >> what does it tell me was [crying] Heat. Heat.

[01:34:52]>> [panting] >> Look across the lake.
