--> 00:09:03,476 I seemed to notice the, uh, absence 209 00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:04,745 of a certain beautiful young professor 210 00:09:04,812 --> 00:09:07,314 around the house these past few days. 211 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:08,582 What's going on, Charlie? 212 00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:09,950 I've been here the whole time. 213 00:09:10,017 --> 00:09:13,821 (chuckles) Amita has been really busy, actually. 214 00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:15,989 She's just been incredibly busy with classes. 215 00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,325 And I've been busy, too, frankly. 216 00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,827 Busy time for busy people. 217 00:09:19,893 --> 00:09:21,528 You know, the least challenging thing 218 00:09:21,595 --> 00:09:23,230 about being Charlie Eppes's father 219 00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:25,699 is knowing when he is lying. 220 00:09:32,439 --> 00:09:34,274 It's a clean shot at the dais. 221 00:09:34,341 --> 00:09:35,709 A clean shot at us. 222 00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:37,144 Who do we have? 223 00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:38,612 A male, white-- 224 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,047 20s, 30s, 40s? 225 00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:41,281 No prints, 226 00:09:41,348 --> 00:09:42,215 uses burner phones. 227 00:09:42,282 --> 00:09:44,417 I mean, everything about this guy says pro. 228 00:09:44,484 --> 00:09:47,354 Except for the fact that he shot at us in the first place. 229 00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:48,455 Why even give himself away? 230 00:09:48,521 --> 00:09:51,158 Why not wait till the rally, then take your shot? 231 00:09:51,224 --> 00:09:53,126 Maybe he was trying to spook him. 232 00:09:53,193 --> 00:09:55,896 Polk's been shot at before, beaten up by the cops. 233 00:09:55,963 --> 00:09:58,431 I don't think he's the kind of guy that's going to flinch. 234 00:09:58,498 --> 00:10:00,968 All right, see, this is why we don't talk politics. 235 00:10:01,034 --> 00:10:02,502 We're not talking about politics, man. 236 00:10:02,569 --> 00:10:04,337 We're talking about a guy who gets threatened 237 00:10:04,404 --> 00:10:06,473 every time he opens his mouth, then he opens it anyway. 238 00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:08,776 I mean, my dictionary-- that's... that's brave. 239 00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:11,444 COLBY: There's just no way we can cover every problem here. 240 00:10:11,511 --> 00:10:13,580 Forget about the buildings surrounding the park. 241 00:10:13,647 --> 00:10:14,581 There's buildings behind those. 242 00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:15,849 It's like he was shooting at us 243 00:10:15,916 --> 00:10:16,984 to point out the obvious. 244 00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:19,887 Yeah, he was definitely pointing out something. 245 00:10:24,391 --> 00:10:26,960 Any word from CERN? 246 00:10:27,027 --> 00:10:30,430 The Max Planck Institute aimed a radio telescope 247 00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:33,667 at the particular cloud in the middle of the Milky Way. 248 00:10:33,734 --> 00:10:35,969 They were looking for amino acids. 249 00:10:36,036 --> 00:10:37,838 -Do you know what they found? -Ethyl formate. 250 00:10:37,905 --> 00:10:41,141 Which happens to be the same chemical 251 00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:43,744 that gives raspberries their flavor. 252 00:10:43,811 --> 00:10:46,914 The Milky Way tastes like raspberries. 253 00:10:47,848 --> 00:10:49,616 So, no word from CERN. 254 00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:51,218 No. 255 00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:54,354 I expect my invitation to the Hadron Collider is coming soon. 256 00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:57,524 You have second thoughts about spending six months in Geneva? 257 00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:59,292 Just thoughts. 258 00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:00,293 (phone beeps) 259 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,530 And that is Charlie asking for help 260 00:11:03,596 --> 00:11:05,398 with some aperiodic tiling. 261 00:11:05,465 --> 00:11:07,267 -You want to come with? -Actually, I have some 262 00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:10,470 low density parity check code that isn't writing itself. 263 00:11:10,537 --> 00:11:12,205 (laughing) 264 00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:14,107 I am going to make an effort to leave 265 00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:15,608 without running, screaming from the room. 266 00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:16,543 Why? 267 00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:19,913 Come on, that subtle yet impossible to ignore breath 268 00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,782 followed by the half-hearted evasion. 269 00:11:21,849 --> 00:11:24,952 This can only mean one more chapter 270 00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:27,955 in the unending romantic serial of Charlie and Amita. 271 00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:31,591 And I have no desire to reprise my supporting role. 272 00:11:31,658 --> 00:11:32,592 Larry... 273 00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:34,061 (shrieking, chuckling) 274 00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:35,128 No! 275 00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,163 (shrieking) 276 00:11:36,229 --> 00:11:38,598 You're a poor little rich boy from what, 277 00:11:38,665 --> 00:11:40,600 four generations of politicians? 278 00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:42,770 It's kind of hard to generate a populist message 279 00:11:42,836 --> 00:11:44,738 from your summer home in Kennebunkport. 280 00:11:44,805 --> 00:11:46,439 So you throw on a flannel shirt, 281 00:11:46,506 --> 00:11:48,708 and you grab the mic at a couple of our protests. 282 00:11:48,776 --> 00:11:50,710 Six years of being gassed and clubbed 283 00:11:50,778 --> 00:11:52,813 doesn't sound that dilettante. 284 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,047 He's played the part longer than most, 285 00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:55,482 but what's he doing now? 286 00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:56,649 Fund-raiser luncheons, 287 00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,718 community center openings. 288 00:11:58,786 --> 00:12:00,153 Celebrity activists always end up being 289 00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:01,588 more celebrity than activist. 290 00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:04,557 Yeah, 'cause there's nothing worse than a community center. 291 00:12:04,624 --> 00:12:07,895 So he leaves your movement, now you want to shut him up. 292 00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:09,763 We're planning to exercise our rights 293 00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:11,765 to free speech and lawful protest. 294 00:12:11,832 --> 00:12:15,135 You know, there are rumors that Polk was an FBI informant. 295 00:12:15,202 --> 00:12:16,870 That's a good reason to take a shot at him. 296 00:12:16,937 --> 00:12:18,138 And turn him into a martyr? 297 00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:20,640 We don't need to shoot Ben Polk. 298 00:12:20,707 --> 00:12:23,410 He's going to impale himself on his own hypocrisy. 299 00:12:27,915 --> 00:12:30,517 If we move the barricades back here and here, 300 00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:32,619 we're gonna maximize Finger Effect 301 00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:34,321 and minimize edge crowding. 302 00:12:34,387 --> 00:12:36,756 So we'll have bomb dogs and CTX units 303 00:12:36,824 --> 00:12:38,358 here, here and here. 304 00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:40,260 And then two aerial units, one of ours, one of LAPD's. 305 00:12:40,327 --> 00:12:43,063 I'm more worried about the snipers. 306 00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:44,865 We're going to cover as many rooftops as we can. 307 00:12:44,932 --> 00:12:46,099 LARRY: And hopefully we can help you 308 00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:47,200 pick the right rooftops. 309 00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:48,235 CHARLIE: Of course, you realize 310 00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:49,436 this may be exactly what he wants. 311 00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:52,806 Allocate more resources toward counter-sniper tactics, 312 00:12:52,873 --> 00:12:55,242 leave ourselves vulnerable somewhere else. 313 00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:58,611 Which presupposes a level of guile and lucidity. 314 00:12:58,678 --> 00:13:00,080 Yeah, but a lot of these guys, 315 00:13:00,147 --> 00:13:01,849 they just get off on one-upping the police 316 00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:04,051 and who they kill is beside the point. 317 00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,552 LARRY: Which presupposes 318 00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:06,954 a level of amorality. 319 00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:08,188 DON: He could've waited, 320 00:13:08,255 --> 00:13:10,757 he could've taken his shot. 321 00:13:10,824 --> 00:13:12,459 But he leaves a phone, 322 00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,094 he warns us, he talks to us. 323 00:13:14,161 --> 00:13:16,396 Setting the rules. 324 00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:19,132 A prisoner knows that he's going to be hanged 325 00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:21,268 and the hangman tells him two things: 326 00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:23,904 That he's gonna be hanged at dawn one day next week, 327 00:13:23,971 --> 00:13:26,006 and that it'll be a surprise. 328 00:13:26,073 --> 00:13:28,141 If the prisoner's alive on Thursday, 329 00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:30,210 he can't be surprised on Friday 330 00:13:30,277 --> 00:13:32,712 and so he knows he can't be hanged on Friday. 331 00:13:32,779 --> 00:13:34,214 And if he's alive on Wednesday, 332 00:13:34,281 --> 00:13:36,083 and he knows he can't be hanged on Friday, 333 00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,784 then Thursday's out as well. 334 00:13:37,851 --> 00:13:39,953 So the reasoning continues backwards. 335 00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:42,455 Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday. 336 00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:45,292 And the prisoner concludes he's not gonna be hanged. 337 00:13:45,358 --> 00:13:47,094 The next week, the prisoner is hanged anyway. 338 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,795 Which is the surprise. 339 00:13:48,862 --> 00:13:51,731 So the prediction has come true despite his reasoning. 340 00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:55,468 And that is called the Unexpected Hanging Paradox. 341 00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:59,172 The rules we're hearing may not be the rules he's setting. 342 00:13:59,239 --> 00:14:02,042 POLK: Two years ago, I would have been 343 00:14:02,109 --> 00:14:04,544 out on the street, screaming through a bullhorn, 344 00:14:04,611 --> 00:14:07,647 probably arranging for someone in the kitchen to tamper 345 00:14:07,714 --> 00:14:08,916 with the hors d'oeuvres. 346 00:14:08,982 --> 00:14:10,918 I believed that being prosperous meant 347 00:14:10,984 --> 00:14:12,652 you couldn't appreciate the problems 348 00:14:12,719 --> 00:14:14,187 of the less prosperous. 349 00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:17,557 That compassion couldn't exist without suffering. 350 00:14:17,624 --> 00:14:19,459 I was wrong. 351 00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:21,428 Prosperity does not make you evil, 352 00:14:21,494 --> 00:14:25,665 but it can blind you to the way other people live. 353 00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:28,101 Children go hungry in East L.A. 354 00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:30,637 Honest people are denied justice 355 00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:33,773 every day on the same streets that you speed past. 356 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,208 But tomorrow night, 357 00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:37,110 we're going to come together in MacArthur Park. 358 00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:40,480 We will embrace sacrifice 359 00:14:40,547 --> 00:14:42,983 and decency, the most fundamental of American... 360 00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:44,751 -(loud, explosive popping) -Down! 361 00:14:44,817 -->
