A cipher. An algorithmic tool
for sending and interpreting messages.
This amulet, whosoever possesses it
shall become the protector of the 36
righteous ones.
- Jake, what's happening? - They're dying.
The procedure is perfectly safe.
We put these people into medical coma.
I'm not sure "safe" is the word that I would use.
At 11:00 on Thursday
our company will release its quarterly report,
and the world will see a $40 billion loss.
Mr. Bohm, why is it every time I see you, someone has died?
Turns out a vendor at the farmer's market
gave a description of a Hassidic man in his 40s
being dragged into a van yesterday.
He was abducted?
Why haven't you brought in the boy?
I found you.
You said you were close.
- They can't have gone far. - I don't care what you have to do, you get them!
It's happening.
What, sweetheart?
What's happening?
It's okay. You're okay.
- Wh-Where am I? - In the E.R.
You're gonna be fine; just a concussion.
We called back the last number you dialed on your cell, so
your friend's been waiting for you to wake up for a couple hours.
M-My friend? How the hell did I get here?
Car accident.
They say it was a hit-and-run.
My son Jake, is he all right?
I'm sorry?
My son, he was in the car with me.
Sir, you were alone.
Look...
I need to find my son.
- I need to find my son. - Settle down.
- I got to find my son! I got to find my... - Settle down. Okay! Okay, I'll go ask!
- I got to find him! - Wait here!
Doctor! Patient in 318 says there was...
- Whoa, not so fast. - Where's Jake and Amelia?
- They weren't in the car. - Get my stuff.
- We need to call the police. - Trevor, please, I need your help.
Get my stuff.
So, where now?
- I don't know. - Do you remember anything?
Nothing.
The last thing I remember, Amelia looked up at me and she said, "It's happening."
- What, the car crash? - I don't know.
What is this?
"318."
J-Jake was writing numbers in the car before the accident.
He must have put this in my pocket.
Trevor, you need to take me back to my car. We need to go to the crash site.
It's not there.
I drove past it a couple of hours ago on my way to the hospital,
and it was being towed.
We need to find out where they took it.
Pier 17. Thank you.
They just cleared security.
They'll be here momentarily.
This is madness, you know that?
Lawrence...
what did Gretzky always say?
You skate toward where the puck is going.
This isn't a game, Nicole.
We're about to announce a $40 billion shortfall tomorrow.
You know how this works-- The stock's gonna tank,
and then next quarter we'll be down $80 billion.
This is where it starts.
- Trust me, we are not too big to fail. - This is not going to happen.
We have hundreds of trades lined up for the morning when the markets open.
All we have to do is punch in the algorithm key and we're home free.
You're really gonna pin this company's entire future on a sequence of numbers?
A sequence that can predict patterns with 100% accuracy?
Yes.
$40 billion is nothing.
We get the right sequence, Aster Corps could control the entire global economy.
They're here.
I have your delivery.
And the boy's father?
You didn't pay me for the father. They took him to the hospital.
And-and if and when he gets out?
Say the word.
Never mind, I'll take care of it.
I know you guys are really scared.
But I want you to know that we're gonna take very good care of you.
All right, Jake?
It's okay, Jake.
Don't worry.
I have a plan.
Out. Now.
We get everything out of that sleep assessment facility?
Everything burned or shredded.
Nothing in that location that can link to Aster Corps.
Yes, well,
as long as there's an investigation, we're all vulnerable.
- Meaning what? - Meaning...
we're suggesting that you consider disappearing.
No one disappears me, Ms. Farington.
Don't even think about pinning this on me.
Better keep an eye on this.
My God, this has gotten insane.
As chief counsel of this company, I have to advise you against all of this.
Are you coming or not?
The quarterly report comes out tomorrow morning,
one way or another.
So...
no.
You just don't have any fight left in you, do you, buddy?
Hello?
I thought you'd like to know, we have new test subjects.
You found more?
We have the ones we've been waiting for.
I'm assuming you're with us?
- Yeah. - Pier 17.
The Leviathan.
Okay.
You're gonna make it, Will.
Hang in there.
I'll be back.
Okay, thank you.
Far as they know, the car's not a crime scene,
so all they need to see is your I.D. and they can run the registration.
- The car's not mine. - What?
It belonged to a guy named Randall Meade. He gave it to me.
- A car? - It's a long story.
Well, how are we supposed to get in?
How much money you got?
- I'm adding this to your tab. - Yeah.
Excuse me. Can I speak to you?
You were lucky to get out alive.
That's the one thing I don't understand--
Why they didn't kill me.
Maybe they thought you were dead.
Maybe.
Well, right now,
I'm the last guy they want walking around.
Were you wearing gloves last night?
No.
Come on. I've got an idea.
Down the stairs.
Well, glad you could make it.
Is there a problem?
No, no problem.
Let's get started.
2x13 Leviathan
ReSync for WEB-DL by lost0ne
The rebbe will see you now.
- The rebbe? - Mm-hmm.
Nope. Nope.
That won't be necessary.
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Avram Hadar.
Rebbe, I only...
There cannot be 36 righteous people
if an outside force is meddling with their destiny.
They must not have awareness.
They must not cohabitate.
They must not come to possess powerful artifacts
because their power can betray them.
Hmm? Can turn them into instruments of death instead.
You know of what I speak, do you not?
A device forged in the name of healing,
which has been misused and desecrated in the name of evil.
Your purpose was to observe, to...
report, to pray.
Instead, you have chosen to guide, to direct...
to persuade.
And so these actions have had consequences.
With all due respect, Rebbe,
I think that you are wrong.
- Oh. - I...
believe that the covenant of the 36 was meant to... live, breathe, grow.
I believe that the bylaws which govern them have changed,
- as humankind has changed. - Ah, I see.
So then we have, uh, hit an evolutionary speed bump of sorts.
Yes? Uh, like your pinky toe, is that it?
Yes.
Yes, Rebbe, th-there is one instrument in particular, a young boy named Jacob Bohm.
- He is special. He is not... - There is no special!
So this only goes to prove that you have grown too close to the 36.
You have lost your perspective.
You know, there is a sequence,
one that binds and connects all life, huh?
Yes.
But it is not complete. We don't know how or even if
- it ends. - Really?
A-Are you saying that...
we have found the entirety of it?
- The whole sequence? - Please.
A fingerprint on the inside of a glove. Unbelievable.
Just turned it inside out, applied the ninhydrin heptane and bam--
big, fat, juicy latent. Real clean, too.
Yeah, matched over 30 points.
Would've had an I.D. sooner, but the system got fooled by the number of hits.
- Hits? - Aliases.
Over here.
Five of them, to be exact.
All deep cover, fully documented--
Social Security numbers, addresses, tax I.D.s, the works.
See, the whole trick to an alias is to stay
just respectable enough to make it look legit.
See, and that's where they screw up.
They end up using a real address. Detective Lange.
Yeah, I'll hold for him.
Got it.
James Turner, James Taney,
Joseph T...
Joseph Tanner, 318 Ridgeley Avenue--
that's our guy. 318.
- Incredible. - Martin.
Yeah.
That was my C.O.
Told me your bail has been revoked.
- What? Why? - Didn't say.
Maybe someone from really high up made a phone call.
Either way, I'm supposed to arrest you again.
I just got an address. I think I can find my son.
Then I suggest you hurry up and check it out.
And when I come looking for you,
if you just happened to lead me to some bad guys then, uh,
lucky me.
Thank you, Detective.
Thank you. Let's go.
Unbelievable.
It's
incredible.
But, Rebbe, this means...
Yes. And today the world will know it, too.
As you say, things change.
And humanity must be permitted to move forward.
Either that or it's the end of everything.
So we do not know which?
Perhaps these things might not have been set in motion for a few thousand years
had you been capable of more restraint.
But if...
as you say, it all ends today,
then this boy Jake
is in danger.
Rebbe, he could die.
If Jacob Bohm is an instrument of God,
then that is all he is.
And, yes, he may die.
That is not acceptable!
Listen to yourself.
Who are you to tell God what is acceptable?
And in the meantime, God has chosen today to be the day of enlightenment.
You will remain here
from sunrise to sunset
under my supervision.
You will appreciate what it is to be an observer
and not a participant.
You will sit!
Sit!
Until you learn your place.
Come on.
You guys sit here.
Everything's gonna be okay, Jake.
Trust me.
Just be ready for my signal.
The sequence is based on repeating chains
called orbifolds that cycle off the Fibonacci sequence. Integers of seven.
So my calculations have it wrapping back to the beginning
to 318 in eight more digits.
- How long will that take? - How much time do we have?
First thing tomorrow morning.
Well, then we need to accelerate the process.
- Accelerate how? - Through induced coma.
Coma? No.
It's a tested method, Calvin.
And proven to kill.
- That's how Dr. McCormick died. - And I understand
that your brother is about to join him.
You don't know anything about my brother.
I understand that you feel responsible for his accident.
I also understand that the completed sequence will tell you exactly
which pathways to choose so that you can heal him.
Calvin?
Look, I can bring the test subjects down to an alpha state
- and achieve the same results... - No, no, no, no, no. That'll take days.
Maybe weeks.
Look,
you want to save your company?
Just let me do my job, okay?
If he wants to serve them milk and cookies afterwards,
that's fine. That's fine by me.
It would be a shame to lose your brother now.
After everything you've done.
I see it now, Jake.
There's an 84% chance Calvin will help us escape.
You ready?
Now.
Help!
Please!
Help!
Please help!
Please! Help!
Please!
Please help us!
What's happening?
Why did he do that?
Just try to keep him calm, would you, please?
What's happening? Is my brother okay?
No, I already know what Dr. Milken is gonna say. I don't care.
If we have to intubate, then we intubate!
We take every measure to make sure he stays alive, okay?
If anything changes, you call me.
You watch the front. I'll make sure the rest of the house is clear.
No one's home.
Place looks like nobody lives here.
Yeah.
Let's start going through everything.
Trevor.
Shh.
You picked the wrong house to rob.
Help me put him in the chair.
I'm not comfortable with this, Martin.
You need to step outside, I understand.
I'll see if any of these keys open the lockbox.
Where are the kids?
I don't know what you're talking about.
- Wrong answer. - No.
Wrong guy.
- I got it. - Good.
Where's my son?
You'll never find him.
Where is my son?!
I want my son back! I want my son back!
- Martin, stop! Stop! - I want my son back!
- Martin, shut up!
He's not breathing.
Martin,
he's wearing a wire.
Let's go.
Martin? Look at this--
Memory cards.
Looks like he's recorded every conversation he's ever had.
All catalogued by date and time.
This one starts...
- two weeks ago. - Why'd you make these recordings?
Insurance policy.
This one's marked the day Lucy died.
Play it.
Ms. Farington, we've spotted Lucy Robbins' vehicle.
- Is Amelia with her? - Unclear. How should we proceed?
We only need the girl. The mother's a liability.
Get rid of her.
Make it clean.
Understood.
You killed her.
You son a bitch, you killed her.
- No, not me. - That was your voice.
I don't get my hands dirty. I didn't shoot her.
I just relayed the order.
I don't get my hands dirty. I didn't shoot her.
I just relayed the order.
Well, look at that.
This thing works pretty good.
Looks like your insurance policy's kind of a double-edged sword.
Well, at least it will be when it plays in court.
- I'm not going down for this. - All I want are the kids back.
I gave them to Farington.
Pier 17, San Pedro, next to a tanker.
Nicole Farington, the CEO of Aster Corps?
That's her.
That's all I needed to hear.
You son of a bitch.
What do we do now?
I've got an idea.
Can I please speak to Detective Lange?
- All right, just send it up here. - All right.
- Hey there. - What's up?
Jake, what are you doing?
Come with me.
Go downstairs.
Where's the exit?
I think I saw a way out down here.
Hey!
Calvin?!
Hey, what are you doing?
- I thought you were watching these guys. - I was watching them.
We've been looking all over for you.
Yeah, I've been looking for you, as well, okay?
Let's stop pointing fingers.
- Come on, let's go. - Come on. It's not safe for you out here.
Come on.
- Come on, go with him. - Come on.
Come on.
It's not safe out here.
Trevor, go ahead.
My mate at the EPA just faxed over the inspection order
to the harbor master's officer.
You're Martin Bishop, EPA inspector,
checking on sulfur levels in the fuel load.
What if they want more details?
Oh.
Every ocean-going vessel has to comply with environmental standards.
They have no choice but to let you on board.
Okay, got it. Thanks.
It's happening.
I have clearance and authority to board this ship.
- All right, go ahead. - Thank you.
This is great.
- The engine room-- where is the engine room? - Through there.
Attention. All hands, prepare to weigh anchor in 10 minutes.
Departure time: 10 minutes.
Jake.
Something's wrong.
I can't feel things the way I should be able to.
Why'd the engine stop?
I don't know.
What's going on?
Never mind. Where are we?
Uh...
comas are fully induced, blood pressure 60/50, both pulse rates are below 48.
It's working
just like I thought it would.
The sequence is completing.
I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore.
Okay, I have to go.
- I got to go, okay? - I don't understand, why?
Why are you leaving?
I'm so sorry, Jake.
- You got to be strong, okay? - No, don't leave.
- I'm so sorry, I have to. - Please don't go.
You gonna be okay.
No, no.
Come back.
Oh, no.
Amelia.
- Where are you going? - I have to stop this.
No, you're not stopping anything, not for her, not for anybody.
- This could kill her. - You stop this,
it's gonna kill your brother. Now get back here.
It's finishing.
The sequence is
complete.
How did he get in here?
Go get rid of him. Get rid of him.
Go, go, go.
It's not going to be too easy.
- Somebody's trying to breach the room. Call security. - What?
Security.
- Security. - Shut it down.
- Shut it down. - Stop, stop, stop. - Someone just entered the lab.
- Step away from my son! - Stop, stop right there. - Security!
Get away from my son now!
You shot me.
- Martin. - Calvin, you shut this down now
or so help me, God, I'll kill you.
Shut it down now!
Amelia.
What's happening?
We're losing her.
Amelia.
He's still breathing.
Jake, come on, buddy, wake up, Jake.
Please, wake up.
We'll get the algorithm.
Jake, it's your dad, I'm right here.
Wake up.
Oh, sweetie.
It's gonna be all right.
Jake...
It's all right, it's all right. It's gonna be all right.
It's all right.
What are you doing?
- What are you doing?! - Please, Martin. I can bring her back.
But I have to do it now.
You better not be lying to me.
Amelia.
It's all right, sweetie. Just breathe. It's all right.
Breathe.
What the hell is going on?
Larry.
I don't have access.
Yes, Nicole, I know.
We're gonna get you out of here, okay?
Just breathe.
Ms. Farington?
I suggest you turn on the news.
- Larry, what's he talking about? - Nicole...
I begged you to keep your distance from this.
You're gonna pay for everything you've done.
_
Ms. Farington, we've spotted Lucy Robbins' vehicle.
- Is Amelia with her? - Unclear.
- How should we proceed? - We only need the girl.
The mother's a liability.
Get rid of her.
Make it clean.
Ms. Farington?
I have a warrant for your arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law.
It's all right, sweetheart. I got you.
Rebbe?
Please,
may I go now?
I'm going to return to my work in Brooklyn.
You are right.
I have meddled.
I may have caused things to evolve in ways that I can't...
You may see yourself out.
Thank you, Rebbe.
William, we did it.
I got it.
Nurse.
Somebody!
Help!
- Mr. Norburg. - Where is he? My brother?
- Mr. Norburg, we tried to reach you again, but... - What?
But what? But what?!
What, he's dead?
I am so sorry.
That's all I need for now,
- but you'll have to wait for the detective. - Thank you.
Excuse me.
I'm fine.
How you feeling, sweetheart?
A little weak.
You're so strong...
and brave, both of you.
So, what happens now?
We get our lives back.
We start over. I'm gonna keep looking for your father.
But you'll stay with us until I find him, now matter how long it takes.
Is that okay?
Yes, thank you.
These people, they can't hurt you anymore.
But you already know that, don't you?
What is it?
It's gone.
The probabilities. I can't see them anymore.
Martin Bohm!
It's all right, I'll be right back.
It doesn't happen very often, but everything you've told me is true.
It tracked.
You're free to go.
Thank you.
Detective, there's one more thing.
There are infinite ways to communicate.
Some better than others.
Calvin Norburg.
I'm here to arrest you.
I never meant to hurt anybody.
I just wanted my brother back.
Yeah.
Signals, signs, patterns,
mathematical in design.
All around us. You just have to know how to see them.
How we read these subtle cues, determines the course of our lives.
Language is considered the ultimate form of communication,
designed to optimize our connection to each other.
Federal authorities estimate fraud allegations could total
billions of dollars.
But the charges of kidnapping and torture
rank the CEO of Aster Corps, Nicole Farington,
among the most notorious criminals
in the history of corporate America.
Today, the average person will say
2,520 words to 7.4 other individuals.
Yet change the language,
one border to the next, and we are hopeless.
Stumbling to explain the simplest of concepts:
"I want."
"I am."
"I love."
This is the letter that Mommy wrote to you.
"Dearest Jake,
"I want you to know that if I could,
"I would always be there with you.
"I love you so much.
"I always want you to know
"how brave and special you are.
A thousand kisses, Mommy."
She's right, you know.
You're the bravest person I know, Jake.
And I'm so proud of you.
Come on, buddy.
It's time to go to sleep.
Avram.
Avram, my God.
- What happened to you? - It's a long story, Martin.
Uh, suffice it to say, I have been through the looking glass
and back again, hopefully with a bit more wisdom.
It's over. Everything.
The threat to Jake and Amelia, Aster Corps, it's all over.
Yes, yes, I know all about it.
I have packed my bags.
Why? What do you mean?
I can no longer take part.
I can't.
It's not my place.
I am going back to my own life.
But first...
How did you get this?
Jake gave it to me.
It wound up in his hands for a reason, just like the cipher.
It's meant to be carried by the protector of the 36.
Protector? He's not even 12.
Yes, he is very young.
So I'm giving it to you.
For now, Martin, you
are the protector.
Good-bye, Martin Bohm.
May God watch over you
and your boy.
Avram.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for being my friend.
Indeed.
My name is Jake.
I was born on October 26, 2000.
I've been alive for 11 years, nine months and 12 days.
And in all that time, I've only said a few words.
But I'm getting the hang of it now.
And there's a lot more I have to say.
