نخستین 200 خط.
We're high in the sky.
It's a beautiful day in Downtown L.A.,
where the G-20 World Economic Summit
will meet later this week.
Let's hope the spate of recent tremors
doesn't spoil their party.
Of course, maybe shaking up some bureaucrats
isn"t such a bad thing.
Gavin, my money's going right here.
Mr. Cole, maybe move back a bit.
The future Douglas Cole Plaza.
I'm not funding that Tesla research anymore.
What a view.
This is Cole.
No, I didn't sign up for that.
Then get another solution, I'm out.
Mr. Cole, please!
Please.
Jump, jump, jump.
Now. Mr. Cole?
Mr. Cole.
Jump.
Jump.
Jump.
Mr. Cole, please!
Jump, jump.
Jump, jump!
Now!
Mr. Cole!
George.
Yeah, I just felt another tremor downtown.
I'll be back in an hour,
but I need you to check the seismic charts
and find the fault line.
Listen, George, something felt very unnatural
about this one, okay?
No, I know, I know, just print the charts out.
President Trump called the sonic weapon
attacks on American diplomats in Cuba highly unusual
and felt that Cuba was responsible.
This dovetails with a story out of China,
where US government employees were victimized by,
in their words, "Something we've never seen before."
Uh, Paul Dahlset.
Secretive Chinese military expansion.
And she said, "Dad, I'm not coming down this weekend."
I get it.
She's got kids.
And you know, she don't, she don't live close.
It's not Santa Monica.
It's, it's a blessing in disguise.
I don't want her seeing me in here.
I don't want anybody seeing me in here.
I mean, you, that's, you know what I mean?
You're just, you're new.
You got company.
I see you made a new friend.
Hey, I, uh.
I bought you something.
Paul.
Stop signing, I can read your lips.
And I don't need any help.
Everyone needs help sometimes.
Paul.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Wait, man, look at me.
Come on, man, look at me, look at me!
Is he okay?
Ma'am, I think you oughta leave.
Come on, look at me.
Breathe!
Now!
Breathe.
Come on, look at me, breathe.
Come on, good.
Excuse me.
For Paul, anonymous please, I want him to use it.
Ms. Dahlset.
Ms. Dahlset, a word.
If I may, Esther, he'll never say it,
but he appreciates you coming.
I doubt that.
To him, his being here is all my fault.
I got to go to college, and he got to go to Syria.
Honey, I've seen soldiers trapped
by the voices in their mind forever,
while others just snap out of it.
If he's gonna win the battle,
he's gotta know someone believes in him.
I've tried.
I can't save him from himself.
You can't.
Love can.
Mean the world to him,
if you just invite him over for a few days.
Give him a break from all this.
A 3.2 tumbler rocked
Downtown Los Angeles today.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Government officials vowed there will not be a delay
in the G-20 downtown despite these recent L.A. tremors.
In other news, the weather has been changing quite rapidly,
as you've noticed, and we're going to talk more about that.
Hey, Siri, TV off.
George, give me the graphs.
Come on.
What's so very important, hmm?
Something is wrong here.
Okay, do you see this curve?
It's supposed to shape this way, but it's inverted.
Look, it's right above the dormant fault line
that we found after the quake in '94.
It goes straight through Downtown.
Bring the map. Got it.
Okay.
What's the big deal, we get 400 tremors each year.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is a vertical fault line, not a horizontal one.
All of Downtown, the high rises were built
on rollers to withstand horizontal shakes.
A vertical quake this size could collapse half of Downtown.
I have to tell the professor.
Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?
Yeah, you better hurry.
Now, through his work on frequency,
Nikola Tesla used AC power
to illuminate the 1893 Chicago World's Fair,
with spectacular results.
Must have seemed truly miraculous at the time.
And now some of you have light bulbs in front of you.
Could you hold them in your hand for the moment?
Just like that.
Imagine if you will this coil is the Earth.
Tesla, by bouncing certain frequencies off the ionosphere
and using the Earth as a giant battery,
Tesla said that he could provide unlimited free
and wireless power to any place on the planet.
Ooh, impressive, huh?
Now, unfortunately, the financier JP Morgan,
as Tesla's primary investor,
wanted to monetize this revolutionary source of power,
not just hand it out for free like Tesla did.
So, Morgan withdrew his funding and shutdown the project.
A century later, that same power is used today
in our cell phones.
Hey.
But perhaps the most significant unfinished work
of Tesla's was in the area that we know today
as High-frequency Active Auroral Research, or HAARP.
See, Tesla believed that everything, all of nature,
all things, all that we see, everything that we know,
that's the weather, that's earthquakes,
that's even the human mind.
All of it is governed by frequency.
Tiny vibrations that animate or destroy.
Case in point. When the wind in Washington State
reached the resonance frequency of the mighty
Tacoma Narrows Bridge, it snapped like a toothpick.
See, Tesla believed that if you control the resonance
frequency of an object, you control that object.
Whether it be a bridge, weather, earthquake,
even a human thought.
Fun fact, if a little sinister.
When Tesla died, the government invaded his offices
and seized all this research
in the name of national security.
But Tesla was canny,
and he committed all his most critical notes and research
to a particular notebook that he hid away.
Imagine.
Just imagine if you will what you could do
if you got hold of those notes, hmm?
Professor, didn't he also say we should,
"Prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization"?
Someone's been doing their reading, very good.
Yes, Tesla was interested in birth control,
but unlike some of his contemporary eugenicists,
he was more interested in the betterment of mankind,
not just in creating some kind of master race.
Think of it, if you will, as a sort of benign evolution.
Ah, Ms. Dahlset, would you care to edify Ms. Smith?
I think Tesla knew from natural selection
that only the strong will survive.
But aren't all men created equal?
Ah, well, let me take that in Tesla's own words.
To quote Tesla, he said,
"Science is but a perversion of itself,
"unless it has as its ultimate goal
"the betterment of mankind."
Isn't that right, Mr. Harris?
Mr. Harris!
You see, I controlled the resonant frequency
of Mr. Harris, and so I control Mr. Harris.
Is it true as a student you put big speakers
in your dorm's basement to find the resonance frequency,
and you almost brought it down?
Ah...
At this time I can neither deny nor confirm that report.
Right, midterms, Friday!
