Previously onJeremiah...

The virus is still alive
inside you.

I walk out that door
and I can wipe out half the world all over again.

There is a way
to get Markus and Jeremiah out of Valhalla Sector.

Sir, I have 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 have been infected.

We still have to find out
where they stashed Theo

and the rest of the guys
from the meeting at St. Louis.

Meaghan!

I can't go with you, Jeremiah. I'm gonna have to stay.

Why?

Valhalla Sector
is 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 said he's going to
leave a couple of his people behind to help out.

Besides, I'm going to
have to make sure that my notes

and any information pertaining
to Valhalla's military campaign is secured.

Hey, with a bit of luck,
we'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... I can't.
I got to get back to Thunder Mountain.

- Yeah.
- 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 tortures,

seeing the Big Death
up close and personal

for a second time.
Well, you need to rest and 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 I'll meet you
at Thunder Mountain, all right?

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.

Hmm?

All right.

Look, 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.

Me... Me too, Dad.

You made me damn proud
in there, Jeremiah.

Damn proud.

I heard a little of that.

- You did?
- Yeah. You...

You 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."

Markus?

You know what, uh,
high verbal is?

Yeah.

Good. Saves me the trouble.

You trying to say
I talk too much?

'Cause we could
talk about that.

Jeremiah? Jeremiah?

Jeremiah?

So what now?

Markus is beginning
to put together a new alliance

with Theo and some
of the other leaders.

But 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 will 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 it.

- So what's going on?
- I don't know.

But I'm going to find out,
that's for goddamn sure.

We're on a clock here.

You. What are you up to?
What happened to Valhalla Sector?

Fuck you!

Hit her again.

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

Stop!

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.

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 people until now to figure that out?

Find anything?

No.

Nothing.

At least
the power's still on.

I'm going to make my way
down 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.

Well, I don't need you.

- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.

Look, I'm just trying
to do a job here, all right?

If it was up to me,
there are 100 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?

- Hey, Kurdy.
- Just shut up and come on.

Kurdy? How you doin', man?

I'm all right.
How about 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, like, if I was 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.

Lot of stuff's going down, man.

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, you know what,
I don't want to hear them.

- I'll catch you later.
- No problem.

Told you, you needed me.

Would you just eat?

I don't need you.

There are just
certain conversations

I don't feel like
having right now.

Okay. No problem.
I understand.

So where are 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?

- Are you still there?
- Right here. What have you got?

I found the CO's log sheets
for communications to and from

the outposts we set up
around the country.

I've been checking messages
for the last few weeks

to see if I can find
anything about...

Devon?

Just a sec.

Okay, Houston,
we 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 am 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.

You know, I don't actually
remember doing it,

but why would they lie to me?

Does any of this...

I don't know, ring a bell?

No.

I thought
I'd give it a shot, though.

You know,
connect my inner tier to my outer tier

so I can balance them out.

You're safe here, you know.

Well, absolutely.

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

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

I 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 found where
your people are being held.

It's a small town
called Milhaven.

We use it as a transit point
for people going to

and coming from
Valhalla Sector.

We have agents there
that pretty much run it in our behalf.

I'm familiar with this.
So we'll just go in and get our people out.

Their standing orders
are code named "Carthage."

Now 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 are 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 some 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.

I mean, 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.

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 their 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 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

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 is coming to get us.

All this big talk.
Markus is all air.

Yeah. The way I hear it,
Markus got caught in his own cell.

Now he's supposed to be up
in some real sweet little place in Valhalla Sector

spilling his heart out
about us.

Selling us out
to save his own neck.

Well, 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 is 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 is going to be a new country.

Only question is,
who is going to run it?

I say we tell them
whatever they want to hear.

Whether we mean it or not,
just so we can get the hell out of here.

Excuse me?

'Cause 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
pretty much 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.

Why, you...

And since there won't be
any new orders coming from Valhalla Sector any time 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 them,
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 at 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 is 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 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.

Uh...

What do you suggest?

Well,

I've been in 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 Jerry.

He is from
Valhalla Sector's division of military intelligence.

Just stopping by
to see the operation Gonna report back.

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

Hadn't heard anything
in a couple days. I was starting to get worried.

It's a communications problem.

The comm 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?

Uh, 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.

You sure you want me
in charge of this thing, Markus?

Positive.

You handled the attack
on Valhalla Sector, 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,
should be ready to go.

Look, I just don't want anyone
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 better go.
You have to pick your immediate support team.

They got to be good
at what they do, Kurdy.

But more importantly
they 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.

- It's water into wine.
- Yeah.

Tomato, tomato.

Look...

I've got to do this thing.

And Markus says
I should pick lieutenants who I could 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...

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

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 you face
and apologize

for everything you've done
in your entire life.

God says,

"Look to the east
and despair."

That's it?

Yeah. You just kind of
had to be there.

Man, come on.
We 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?

I mean,
we're still building up. Look at this place."

And he says, "Well, 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.

Yeah. There's...

There's a contradiction
in terms if I ever heard one.

Military intelligence.

Oh.
No offense there.

Oh, uh, none taken.

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

we take it over,
we break them up into small groups

so they fit better.

And...

that's pretty much it.

Now, I'll tell you the truth.

I am going to be so glad
when you guys take them 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 ten minutes
in a small room with that woman.

Theo?
Isn't that the woman I'm supposed to talk to?

Yeah, right.
Um, is there any chance we could talk to her?

No, no way.

We're given
strict instructions.

No one's allowed
in the holding area

without written authorization
from General Waverly. So...

But, um...

You know,
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.

But sure. What the hell.
I guess it's okay, you know.

I'll bring her by
in the morning.

Then you can...
You guys can get some sleep. You're going to need it.

You know, the more
I see people like that,

the more I think
that maybe Daniel is right.

- Daniel?
- No, no. Don't go off of me.

I know you people
from Valhalla Sector

don't care much 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, though.

I see you've finally got
the power working again.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just a few places, though. Here, town hall,

all my lieutenants have power.

You see we use it as
sort of this inducement.

You work with us,
we work with you.

And everybody else?

You know, I think
it was Socrates who said,

"Fuck 'em."

All right,
we're locked and loaded.

We leave in 15 minutes.

Is it the carrot or the stick?

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 was kind of hard to know
exactly what happened

'cause I was kind of dead
at the time.

I'd just given up, okay?

I mean, I...

It had been a rough life
and it wasn't getting any easier

and I just decided
enough was 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."
'Cause 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 it 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 will be my voice."

Anyway, the next thing I knew,

I was awake on the shore
and there were people around saying

they saw a wave wash me up
and just leave me there.

It scared the hell out of me.

Why? They thought
you were dead?

No.

So what's so scary
about seeing a wave wash somebody on the shore?

It was a lake.

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

Yeah. Just two words.

And I got the impression
they were real important.

I still haven't been able to
figure out what they mean

and what they have to do
with anything else.

Oh, well, let me guess.

Jesus saves.

All right, 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 them up.

Davis says the guys
from Valhalla want to see one of them.

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 just got to finish this
before they get back.

God damn it, you asshole!

Let me guess,
that must be Theo. - That's Theo.

I'm going to
kick your ass so hard

your granddaddy
is going to feel it.

- Well, this is Theo.
- What the fuck?

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
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.

Are the 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 to you?

Oh, I don't know.
Some cute little gym shorts, some sneakers,

you might surprise everybody.

The point is, Theo,
it's a big world out there.

Now it can either be
a very 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 you don't,
there is nothing that I can do for you.

There is something
you can do for me.

What?

You can kiss my ass.

- You like my part of the show.
- Yes, well...

You see, the woman's trouble.

I can't wait for you guys
to take these jerks off our hands.

Get her out of here.

Now, this area here...

You sure you all right
with the walking? - Yeah.

You took quite a shot
to the self-esteem back there.

- I know, it's all right.
- All right.

Anyways, like I was saying,

this area here separates
our part of the town from the rest.

Like here, we've got water,
power from a generator just down the street,

the works.

The others,
they don't like it too much

but whoever has the power
makes the rules, right?

- Right.
- Yeah.

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

You see,

you give people too much
and they just demand more.

The best way
to keep them in line

is to ration stuff out in ways
that suits our needs.

Keep them barefoot,
off balance,

just hungry enough
to do what they're told.

It's the only way to run
a place like Milhaven, Jerry.

It's the only way.

Now here...

- Hey.
- Hi, how's it going?

We're all set.
What you got?

They're being held
in a school gym

about 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 better get back
before they start missing you.

Okay.

- Hey, Liberty?
- Hmm?

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 me about him?

No, just wondering.

Keep your head down,
we're going in.

Take this.

Here.

You will need this
when they come. - I won't touch it.

Libby.

- What are you looking at?
- Nothing.

Just waiting.

For what?

Santa.

'Cause it's Christmas, baby.

- Everybody out, now!
- Move! Move! Move!

Davis. Shit!

What's wrong?

One of the guys we traded with
just got in.

He said Valhalla Sector fell
three days ago.

What? What happened?

He doesn't know for sure.

All he does know
is that everybody is dead.

Well, if it fell
three days ago...

We've been tricked.

Damn it.

Tell the others.

Get some of our guys up here.
Double up on the prisoners.

All right.

Where is he? Where is he?

Hey!

Come on.

Well, hello, boys.

Oh!

Yeah, you better run.

- Any problems?
- Some.

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 them.

Kurdy's tracking them down.
I don't know.

Wouldn't hold out much hope,
even with the extra help.

Once those people saw what was
going on around here,

they split the party
pretty fast.

Sounds like they've had
a pretty rough run 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"?

I said we're going to move
into the outside world, make a statement.

This time 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 for the favored few and powerful.

Besides, this was
a transit point for Valhalla Sector,

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

Gonna be
a good hub for us.

Yeah, I agree.

Just have to find
the right people to, uh, 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 would 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 nailed down in one spot.

You know,
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 Liberty to stick around, too.

She knows the town,
they know her and she knows you.

When are you thinking
of pulling the trigger on this thing?

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.

I figure in 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.

It'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 are 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?

Who, the main guys? Nothing.

I think they got clear.

But 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 powerbase.

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...
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.

Um...

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 find 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.

'Cause 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.

Do you mind if I join you?

Thanks.

So which way
are 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.
