Eureka s04e14 Episode Script
Up In The Air
Previously on Eureka We're in space! I've wanted to do this my whole life-- just look out there.
It's beautiful.
Hello, Allison.
A brighter tomorrow Today.
Phase one is complete after the initial presented their best scientific ideas for the six-month mission.
Next.
Only the best of the best were chosen to advance to the next stage.
We're puttin' you through to the next round.
As the selection process continues, the 120 candidates now enter phase two-- physical fitness training.
All departments throughout global dynamics are working to make the historic mission to titan a reality As we count down to launch.
Hey! So am I early for coffee or are you late? No, it's me.
I'm sorry.
Work has been crazy since physical training started for the Astraeus candidates, and honestly, I just forgot.
It's okay.
We've still got time.
No, unfortunately, I don't.
I just got a shipment in, so now in addition to the exams, I have to install all this equipment.
I get it.
Maybe later? Yeah.
I'm sorry.
But I still think you're cute.
Oh, yeah? I think you're cute.
A little help, sheriff? - Thanks, sheriff.
- No problem.
Mornin', Jack.
Hey, Henry.
Wow! Tune-up and a hand wax.
That's what I call service! Jack, you ain't seen nothing yet.
I've extended your remote entry and, uh - Here, hold this, will ya? - Sure.
Uh, hey, guys, can I, uh, borrow your bat? - Sure.
- Thanks.
Oh! Ha ha ha ha ha! You like it? - Yeah - I've hardened it with a resilient super-dense protective coating.
That's science I can get behind.
Actually, I did it 'cause I was just tired of fixing it.
- Well, fair enough.
- Yeah.
Listen, I gotta run, 'cause candidate fitness training starts today.
Oh, and in Eureka, that involves, uh VR goggles and video games? Ha ha.
I wish! The instructor has a reputation for beingMerciless.
I said toes on the line, you worthless bunch of PHDS! You are group Alpha.
I will be attempting to train you for the physical fitness requirements of the Astraeus project.
This is my lab.
You wanna go into space-- on purpose-- you gotta go through me first.
Who knows what a push-up is? Oh! I do.
It's a calisthenics exercise focusing on the pectoral and triceps muscles Dating back to the greco-- IDon't think that's what she meant.
Why don't you all show me what a push-up is, say50 times? Down on the ground! You're a botanist, right? Kiss my grass! Looking good, Dr.
Deacon! Ah, thank you, Jo.
UhUh Miss Lupo.
Come on, alphas.
Group bravo says that you are the sorriest collection of community college rejects they've ever seen.
You wanna prove them right? What kind of mathematician can't count to 50? Anything else, miss Lupo? Well, I say 50 more Cupcake.
Let's go, people! Stop lookin' like a bunch of little girls in your panties! Go! Dr.
Martin, I was hoping to run into you at cafe diem last night to go over the FTL NAV integration specs? I'm sorry, did we have plans? I ate someplace else with someone else.
Oh.
Uh, no, no.
Here.
UmMaybe at some point you might wanna, you know, look over stuff together? Sure, sure.
Have you seen this? IDid just give it to you.
Once we establish an outpost on titan, we'll have a base for space exploration beyond our own galaxy.
- Isn't that exciting? - The most.
So, umSomebody else.
Is that like a colleague or a completely platonic friend? Let's keep moving, group delta.
Just thinkSome of them will get to see things we've only imagined through probe imagery and spectroscopic data-- cryo volcanoes.
Methane lakes.
Assuming they live long enough.
That guy hasn't run for anything since our Warcraft guild elected a new secretary.
Well I'm sure you'll do fine.
Your body mass index indicates a healthy level of fitness.
Here ya go.
Uh, thank you? WhaWhat are these for? No one's guaranteed a spot in the mission, including us.
But I'm the head of G.
D.
And a space veteran.
I'm not sure launching yourself into orbit and nearly destroying the ISS counts as experience.
But don't worry.
You're not gonna be alone.
See ya out there, cadet.
Hmm.
Nice logo.
This is extremely sophisticated imaging equipment.
Please be very careful.
Someone got new toys.
Yes.
Thanks to the Astraeus budget.
Fargo, what are you doing? Apparently, we're supposed to run everywhere.
One of Jo's commandments.
Well, it's good to see you leading by example I'm sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that holly is in your group? Who, Dr.
Martin? She is? I did not know that.
Yeah, Fargo, you better go change.
NASA's here for the national biology review.
About that I was wondering if you could handle it for me? Fargo, look around you.
I have to handle all the candidate physicals, not to mention give the entire town inoculations.
Oh, look, and they just brought more.
Inoculations as in Shots? As interplanetary protection protocol.
We can't risk introducing a pathogen on this mission.
- I'm just busy.
- Uh-huh.
Read.
They're presenting a new method for chemosynthesis detection? Fine.
I'll do it.
Thank you! All right.
Well, I'd better get started.
Okay, everyone, these boxes aren't going to unpack themSelves Mmm.
SoNo boot camp for you, sheriff? I'm in the best shape of my life, Vince.
And you know what? They don't make maple bars in space.
Too true.
My momShe acts like she's already in space.
She cooked me fried eggs this morning.
She knows I only eat scrambled.
Well, your mom's got a lot going on with the whole, uh, Astraeus medical thing.
What, so now I'm supposed to starve? Yeah.
You gotta starve.
Oh.
Hey, Andy, let me guess.
It's a quantum runaway something or other.
Someone did what? I-I'll be right there.
Someone robbed a bank! Yeah! Should he really be happy about that? No blob.
No wormhole.
Just a good old-fashioned bank robbery.
You seem downright perky, boss.
Yeah! We're gonna do fingerprints.
We're gonna do a tire impression.
We gonna interview Witnesses.
- Andy? - Yeah, boss? You said there was a Bank robbery.
Yep.
Someone stole it last night.
Of course they did.
Well, it didn't get dragged off, - so where'd it go? - Good question.
Although, I am seeing bits of crystal lattice decompression.
- Is that--that good, bad? - Well, it's strange.
I meanEven teleportation wouldn't leave this kind of quantum signature.
And why would anybody steal a bank? Because that's where they keep the money.
Oh, come on, Jack.
Monetary transactions in Eureka are done how? - Electronic.
- Exactly.
So the bank only holds safety deposit boxes.
No money.
Just personal items.
So what? So somebody wanted to steal something - inside the safety deposit box.
- Yeah, well They went through an awful lot of trouble.
I mean, the bank is reinforced with osmium.
I mean, the vault is-- is a solid block of the stuff.
It is the densest, heaviest object in town.
You just can't pick it up and walk off with it.
Right.
Hey, Andy.
A-anything? Uh, no sign yet, boss.
But we have some folks here that are pretty concerned about their safety deposit boxes.
If you could all just form a single line, that would be swell.
Any chance you might be coming back? Soon? Uh, yeah.
I'll be back in a second.
Let me know if you find anything.
Got it.
Bank robbery.
This town can't do anything normally.
Let's go, group bravo! Oh, Fargo, nice of you to join us.
Yes.
The navigation systems will be online soon, senator.
Doug, over here! Doug? Doug is shorter than Douglas.
I can save almost 60 milliseconds every time I say your name.
Wow.
That's, uh That's efficient.
Uh, yeah, sorry, the FTL-- Dr.
Parrish.
- Doug.
- Toes on the line! Group bravo! Group Alpha says that you are the sorriest collection of community college rejects Zane.
What are you doing here? Hammer curls, miss Lupo.
Are you trying to mess with me? No, ma'am.
I'm here for candidate training.
You're in group Alpha.
I'm in all the groups.
I like a challenge.
You can't do that.
Put on your uniform.
He can't do that.
Can he--can he do that? Looks like he can.
Impressive musculature and stamina.
Yeah, well, if you, uh, like that sort of thing.
Too bad about his criminal record.
I mean, sure, the whole bad boy thing has a certain appeal, but those felonies make him no-fly.
So he's Totally ineligible for the mission.
This should help with your sprain.
Love the new nanoscale tomograph.
Me too! It's like a thousand times more detailed than any mri.
Thank you, Astraeus.
So I hear that Jo has you running tires? OhhAnd doing chin-ups.
Those are the worst.
I am a neuroscientist, notG.
I.
Jane.
Oh, but Henry He is loving every minute of it.
Well, let's see how much he's loving it when he comes in for his physical today.
Ah Look at this.
Good as new.
- Thanks, Allison.
- Good.
So listen, can I talk to you for aSecond as a neuroscientist? Of course.
When I was working in here this morning, one moment I'm looking at a stack of boxes, and the next They're completely unpacked.
Dozens of vials of vaccines mixed and ready to administer.
- Did your staff do it? - No.
That's the strangest part.
I asked them, and they said that I did.
Have you had any nausea or shortness of breath? No.
No.
I feel fine.
My preliminary diagnosis is you are an overworked mother of two.
And typically, I would prescribe a week in Fiji.
But, uh, let me run some tests just to be sure.
- Okay.
- Dr.
Blake.
Your next exam's here.
Okay.
Thank you.
WellI will do that when I get a chance.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Sure.
Let's go, group bravo! Go, go, go! You're not even supposed to be in this group, Parrish! I transferred.
Dr.
Martin and I discussed it during dinner.
- You ate with him? - Yeah.
Then he showed me his equipment.
It was really something.
My collection of antique particle physics equipment is unparalleled.
Partner up! - Hey! - Not now, Larry! Get off the phone.
Don't make me say it again.
Crunch time, poindexters.
After you, doctor.
Why don't I get to choose my own partner? I mean, I am the boss.
Out here, I'm the boss.
Here.
Jump rope, susie.
- So you guys really went out? - Isaac made samosas.
Do you know he lived in India for a while? And the view of mount Eureka was so pretty.
We took a picnic up to that little campground You know, the one by the observatory.
Oh, yeah, I hear there's a lot of blood-sucking ticks up there.
He hears a lot of things.
What? No, no, I'm still waiting for inventory from six departments-- Everybody, thank Dr.
Fargo for the medicine ball drills we're about to do.
Set them for 10 pounds, eggheads! Miss Lupo, Doug is just doing his job.
The things he's doing are things that need doing.
Do you want to set them to 20 pounds, Dr.
chatterbox? No.
Way to keep your eye on the ball, Doug.
Ooh! Aah! Great! Perfect, brainiac! Sorry, miss Lupo.
I-I guess I don't know my own strength.
All right, move it! Get after him! Go! We could put out an apb.
On a bank? That's not a conversation I wanna have with the highway patrol.
See? Look at this stuff.
I mean, you got someone's first slide rule.
You got an antique higgs field disruptor.
You-- mint condition betamax.
No one would wanna steal this stuff.
The sentimental nature of the items suggests perhaps the perp will seek a ransom.
Or he runs the most boring museum in the world.
Or flea market.
Don't say perp.
Okay.
- Sheriff Carter.
- Yeah.
My grandmother's heirlooms were in the bank.
Just tell us what you're missing, Dr.
boyle, and we will add it to the list.
Okay.
Carter.
UhWhat's that, Jo? Fargo's where? Up a tree, kitten style.
Aah! Mommy.
How'd he get up a UmAll right, I-I'll be right there.
There in a second.
Grandma's gold wedding band, her pearls - Mm-hmm.
- Her antimatter.
Antimatter.
Dr.
boyle I didn't know the bank allowed proton collider output material.
It's an heirloom.
And it's in a class two static field which should protect it under most normal circumstances.
Oh.
Good.
Th-that's good why, Andy? Antimatter is extremely volatile.
One ounce can yield an explosive force equal to 1.
22 megatons of tnt.
So someone didn't steal a bank.
They stole a bomb.
See, grandmas are supposed to make pie, not antimatter.
- Ah.
- Ah! Hey, Jack, you're all set here.
Oh, good.
So the antimatter detector tracks levels of antiparticle energy, - so the more it beeps - The closer you're getting.
- Right.
Right.
- How's our baryonic asymmetry? - Nominal.
- Ah! Well, thank God, 'cause if you know there's Yeah.
I don't know what that is.
Dr.
Boyle's antimatter is most likely still in the bank vault.
So the detector will lead us right to the big bomb.
Right.
You know, this case was cool and old school for like a minute.
Oh, and, uh Fargo's stuck in a tree, if you can help out.
- Okay! - All right.
- Stuck in a tree? - I don't know, it's-- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no GPS.
I get it.
Oh I'd have to map the wake flow path lines to be sure, but your airspeed must have been like 25 Miles per hour.
There we go.
Hey, I think you left your dignity up there.
- Oh, I'll show you dignity-- - Calm down, Fargo.
But it was sabotage! He tampered with the medicine ball.
Oh, please, like you need my help washing out of contention for Astraeus.
Or other things.
Andy, arrest him.
I'm pressing charges.
Oh, I didn't touch the stupid medicine ball! Okay, I swear I will flunk both of you! You have the chance to go into space.
This is how you're gonna treat the opportunity? Why don't I go find that ball and we'll see what's what, huh? Fantastic.
All of you get back to the field! - They need me back at G.
D.
- Of course they do.
You're never gonna qualify at this rate, Doug.
You can kiss that ticket to titan good-bye.
The spirit of competition might be getting the best of some people.
It's not a fight to the death.
Although, we don't know what miss Lupo has planned for later.
Ha.
Can't wait.
We could squeeze in another workout, get you caught up.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I'd like that.
- Great.
I'll give you a call once Isaac checks me for ticks.
Yeah, yeah, I'm coming! Ugh.
Shots.
See? That wasn't so bad.
You may be a little sore later.
I feel a lot sore.
I missed the Astraeus subsystem inspection 'cause I was busy getting shot into a tree, and now I'm gonna miss sweaty yoga 'cause I have a call with Washington.
Fargo, running G.
D.
Is a big job, and so is being an Astraeus candidate-- Up with that? That's an awesome idea.
Let me think about it.
Wait.
Think about what? Making you temporary head of G.
D.
? Just until I get back from space, of course.
Hey, hon.
How you doing? ThisIs pointless.
I am not gonna be doing chin-ups on titan.
All right, you'll get it.
Can I--can I help? Henry, you can't fix this.
I mean We have always done everything together.
What if this time you have to leave me behind? You know what? I think we'll figure it out.
Oops.
Sorry to interrupt, folks.
Just lookin' for some balls.
Medicine balls.
They seem to have vanished.
- Vanished.
- Dense stuff, osmium.
Fairly unusual for it to justFloat away.
- Right.
- There's more in the gym - back at G.
D.
- Fantastic.
- Henry, what is it? - Osmium.
The bank vault is made of the same substance.
- Hey, Henry.
- Jack, where are you? Well, according to this thing, I'm right on top of the anti Matter.
Where'd you come from? Henry - I just found the bank.
- Jack-- Oh-- aah! I'm fine.
- You fell 50 feet.
- Into water.
When you go to med school, I'll take your word for it.
Well, maybe I will go to med school.
Good news, uhWe were having some signal problems, but we have a fix on the bank, and it's intact.
Well, intact but floating.
- Well, there is that.
- Yeah.
Well, maybe it's a Gravitational anomaly or, uh, electromagnetic levitation-- no.
What would happen if the bank came crashing down with that antimatter inside it? Right.
Enough said.
Let's fire up the chopper and go get that bomb.
- Allison-- - No, no, no.
No.
Can't put anything up in the air until we know what's going on.
Besides, the chopper's already up there.
- Oh! - WithoutA pilot.
What? Wait, no, th-that can't be made from the os-stuff.
Well, no, but it has components made of iridium which is a similar density to osmium.
So objects with high concentrations of dense metals are being affected.
Well, then what about my jeep? The protective coating I applied contained an osmium compound.
Sorry.
Well, if a protective coating is floating my jeep, this thing's getting worse.
It seems to be.
You okay? Yeah, I'm just, um A little scattered.
Probably stress.
I don't know, maybe I just need to-- to take a break.
- Well, that's a first.
- Yeah.
Um, but right now I need to speak with Henry, and you need to take care of the town, sheriff.
Sure.
All done tormenting physicists? Half my equipment floated away.
Training's been canceled until we fix whatever gravity glitch you geniuses have caused.
We're, uh, heading back to G.
D.
Lead with the jab Then the cross.
Jab's the can opener.
The cross is the spoon.
Hmm.
I didn't know you boxed, Lupo.
Oh, not since flight school.
Knockout.
I bet.
Hey, rocky.
Training's canceled.
Unless you want a bank to fall on your head.
All this work to get back into space.
After what you and Fargo went through, I didn't think you'd want to.
I didn't at first, but then What? I was 11 once.
To be an astronaut Every kid's dream.
Then you grow up.
Hey, uh, Zane, look, uh Your criminal record disqualifies you from being in the Astraeus project.
- Yeah, I know.
- What? You--I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to tell you.
An hour? That's what you came up with? Why are you putting yourself through all this? I want them to see what they're missing.
They're gonna tell me I can't go? Screw them.
Okay, baby, you go in here and play.
Kevin, you okay? Once I beat this level, I will be.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
: There's an overshield behind the covenant outpost.
Really? Thanks, s.
A.
R.
A.
H.
Where is my tablet? Kevin, I'm gonna go to the car and look for it.
Okay.
Hi.
So I assume the lack of massive explosion means it's still up there.
Yeah.
But it seems the bank is gaining altitude.
You don't hear that every day.
At least I think it is.
Something's making our signals bounce around like crazy.
Well, we got a bulldozer, a big-ass telescope, and a turbine up there.
Are you sure one of your zero-g space gizmos isn't leaking? That's not how zero-g works.
Well, not unless you subscribe to the theory of graviphotons where the superpartner of the graviton exerts a repulsive force.
Like Dr.
Parrish.
Hi, Henry.
You okay? Yeah.
Fine.
Scanner shows that, uh, gravity is operating Normally.
Well, we got a bunch of stuff up in the air.
How is that not gravity being messed up? Because gravity doesn't make things heavy.
The higgs field.
Uh, isn't that where the mariners hold spring training? No.
That's in peoria stadium in Arizona.
The higgs field is the pervasive universal field that gives things mass.
Objects lose mass, they begin to float when the field is disrupted.
LikeBy a higgs field disruptor.
There's one in the safety deposit box in the floating bank.
There were 76 objects aloft at last count.
It's getting crowded up there.
Yeah.
The disruption's affecting gold, lead, carbon compounds.
At the rate the bank's losing mass, but tonight we'll have to call NASA to make a withdrawal.
The higgs field interacts more strongly with dense, heavy objects than light ones.
Petro gravity field generators.
They increase gravity in a localized area.
Nice.
Oh, these are in the smart house.
Right.
Full-spectrum shielding.
- Allison and the kids-- - Oh! Aah! It's adjustable! Aaaarrhh! AhaThere we go.
Come on.
- You all right? - Yeah.
My, that's good stuff.
Didn't know you were gonna turn it on.
Sorry.
You can deploy them around town until we figure out how to fix the higgs field.
It's okay, Jenna.
It's okay.
Mom, where were you? - Oh, I'm so sorry-- - You've been gone for hours! - Hours? - Yes! S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
And I called your phone like 20 times, and you didn't answer the phone.
We thought something happened to you.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, baby.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm sorry, baby.
I know.
Oh, mama's sorry.
- You guys reading me? - Yeah.
Loud and clear.
Okay.
So the higgs field will keep unraveling until we turn the disruptor off.
Objects with smaller and smaller amounts of dense material will lose mass.
How much time do we have? I'm guessing not much.
Guys, we're in trouble.
We're out of petros.
We've grounded Martha, and Andy and Jo have organized evacuation into G.
D.
Oh, good, G.
D.
's shielding will protect it - from the field disruption.
- Yes.
- For now.
- Yeah.
- How about our flying bomb? - 10,000 feet over tesla school and rising.
And all that redistributed matter's what's been interfering with our signals.
So that's why we couldn't find the bank at first.
Yeah, you know what, I should check the weather.
We may be looking for our town in Idaho.
Allison.
Hi.
What is it? You okay? - Kids okay? - Yes.
They're fine.
They're at the smart house with the nanny.
Good.
What's goin' on? I don't know.
I'm losing time somehow.
Pieces of my day are justGone.
Gone how? Well, one moment I'm doing something, and the next I'm somewhere else.
I left the kids alone for hours today.
What if something had happened to them? Okay.
Um You gotta have someone take a look at thisO-okay? Grace ran some tests on me.
She couldn't find anything.
- Well, then-- - Jack I feel like I'm losing myself.
Hey! This looks really intense, but I have to tell you Jo found who owns the higgs field disruptor.
- Great! - Go.
Floating banks come first.
We're gonna figure this out, okay? We might even get to use some of your shiny new doctor toys.
This way, ladies and gentlemen.
You heard Mr.
data.
No pushing, stay calm.
Oh, hey, Carter.
They're right here.
Right.
Thanks.
Parrish! You didn't mention you had a collection of doomsday devices.
It's particle physics equipment, sheriff Carter.
See, I don't see the difference.
Of course you don't.
It is a collectible one-of-a-kind higgs field disruptor.
It's signed, although the authenticity of the signature is-- Hey! It disrupts The higgs field! You should put it someplace safe.
Oh, you mean like in a bank? Yeah, like-- I see your point.
So when did you make the deposit? - Yesterday.
- Jack, it's an antique.
I mean, it should be completely inert.
It would take a powerful source of antiparticle energy to jumpstart that.
How about antimatter? Is that antiparticle-y enough for you? Yes.
That would do it.
SoSomeone has to go up there and separate the device from the antimatter that's powering it.
Duty calls, sheriff.
Why is it always heights? All right.
Nanoscale tomography analysis complete.
Let's see what we got here.
Show me the crazy.
Foreign bodies have been detected throughout the neocortex.
Clarify.
Those aren't Tumors or lesions.
Negative.
The nanoparticles are man-made, composed of bio-conductive material.
Neural implants.
Aah! Ha ha aah! Ugh! Could there be a more terrifying way to get up? No.
I don't think so.
- I'm in! - Good luck, Jack.
Aah! Aah! Jack? I'm all right.
Good.
Now, get yourself to the vault.
That's where the higgs field disruptor is.
Huh--hah! Oh! Hah! AhOh! Ah Jack, be careful, now.
The building may be unstable.
Noted.
Unstable bank.
But what bank isn't? At least there's no line! I'm at the vault.
It's locked.
How can-- how can it be locked? The closest electricity's two Miles straight down! It's got a redundant power supply.
Just put your hand on the scanner.
The DNA locks have been recoded for you.
G.
D.
has your sputum on file.
That's disgusting! All right, Jack, to deactivate the disruptor, you need to separate it from the antimatter by using the penning trap.
That's the box we attached to your belt.
Right! Ready for box numbers! Uh Do I have to lick the lock? You can if you want, but that would be weird.
Someone put her in front of a cartoon! Jack, the boxes are openingNow.
Oh.
Ah Ah Got aLittle glowy vial of liquid.
Doesn't seem to be an on or off switch.
O-okay, Jack, uh--uh Don't panic, but that's not the disruptor.
That's the antimatter.
Just put it carefully in the penning trap.
You mean the box? If you mean the box, you say box! Put it in the box! Don't yell at me! Stupid penning trap.
Okay.
What's next? Uh, check The disruptor.
Check the-- right.
Uh Looks like it's powering off! It worked! Now the higgs field will gradually restabilize.
And all the affected objects will slowly regain their normal mass and come to earth in a controlled descent.
Guys? I'm goin' down! Aah! Should he be falling faster than everything else? Should I-- should I what now? Huh What huh? Looks like the bank will return to normal mass long before it hits the ground.
I need to check my math.
Yes, please! Guys! Time is of the essence! All right, Henry.
Unlock the boxes.
Maybe something here can help us! Uh, done.
All right, so we can generate a magnetic levitation field - using our supercollider.
- That takes ten minutes.
I've got the inventory list from Andy.
Well, there's gotta be like a giant air bag in here or something! What about an electromagnetic cushion? The bank's falling way too fast.
The impact would pancake it.
Yeah! Fantastic! Thrust! Vertical piloting.
It's how you land a jump jet on an aircraft carrier.
Of course.
We can counteract the downward momentum of the bank with something pushing up.
You want me to fly a bank? No, not fly.
Just land.
- With what? - Okay, Jack, you've got the higgs field disruptor.
Now, we can turn it back on, but we need a focused burst.
If there was a field amplifier up there Yeah, there is.
I-I just gotta find it here somewhere.
SoWhat does it look like? - It's like a littleEh - It's not that little.
It's-- - Well, it's roundish, it's-- I-I-it's kind of like aA - Yeah, yeah, it Today! It--smallish.
You know--baskety.
Like a broccoli steamer? Oh.
I was gonna say parabolic antenna, but sure, that's okay.
So point it to the ground and flip the switch.
And then Jack, very carefully, just for an instant, open the box.
All right! Here goes! Whoa! That's not what a bank robbery means Just so you know.
Sorry, sheriff.
The bank was the epicenter of the disruption.
We didn't account for its accelerated mass recovery.
So, uh, we're all good? Good? That was awesome! Yeah! Awesome.
Cleanup's underway.
We'll get the Maglev crew here once they're done hauling Archimedes out of a corn field.
Everything make it down okay? M-mostly.
One or two things escaped the e.
M.
Shield before we set it to contain the floaters.
Where's my jeep? Ah Four.
Five.
- Ha ha ha ha ha! - Oh Good for you.
You know, whatever crazy test is next, I'm ready for it.
Come here.
I wanna talk to you.
- Henry, what's - Ah What's wrong? Allison's new scanner has found something in my heart, an atrial septal defect.
Now, I'mFine as long as I'm here on earth.
But because of titan's unusual pressure and--and gravity, I'm cut from mission selection.
But I want you to go.
Oh, I'm going.
A little hesitation would have been nice.
AndYou're coming with me.
- Grace-- - Henry.
This is Eureka.
We solve the impossible every day.
We will find a way to help you.
Dr.
Parrish Your equipment's a lot Smaller than you made it out to be.
OhhMy disruptor! Holly, I'd like to take you up on that workout offer a little later.
I've got time, and gear's not floating off everywhere.
Yeah, great.
Yes.
Oh! I have determined that basketball provides the optimal mix of cardio respiratory and muscular fitness.
I like to dribble.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
I'll get my high tops.
Ah, Dr.
Parrish, I need you to pull inventory reports from your department right now.
Mm.
I see what you're doing, Doug.
Dr.
Fargo.
Out here, I'm the boss.
At least for now.
Inventory reports.
Hmm Excuse me.
Ooh! Don't forget your little thingy.
- What's this? - Orbital dynamics.
Being an astronaut is every kid's dream.
But listen.
Me join the Astraeus mission? No.
No.
Why not? Right stuff.
Because I am Not smart enough.
I heard you saved Carter's bacon today with science.
You're plenty smart.
The eccentric anomaly is the can opener and Kepler's equation is the spoon.
- Zane - Look, I'm a felon.
You're a grunt with a gun.
How 'bout we screw some expectations, huh? What? Uh, we, um We never talked like this before.
True.
Our conversations usually end with you reading me my rights.
That's That's not what I mean.
Me and the other you, we sort of skipped past the being friends part.
Oh.
Is that what we're doing here? I just thought my life would be a lot simpler if you were on another planet.
Now, drop and give me Cupcake.
Cupcake.
Cute.
Mm-hmm.
- All right.
- Start over here.
Hi.
Hey.
So you solved your bank robbery.
Yeah.
Turns out the only person who broke inWas me.
I, uhLooked for ya at the infirmary.
But they said you ran some sort of Unpronounceable scan on yourself.
Oh, a nanoscale tomography.
It's a hyper-detailed medical imagery.
And? What'd you--what'd you find? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Maintaining connection at full signal strength.
There's no more interference from the higgs field disruption, miss Barlowe.
So what do you think it is, justStress? Yes, I I don't know what came over me.
It's just Work's been crazy.
But I am feeling much better now, Jack.
Good.
It's beautiful.
Hello, Allison.
A brighter tomorrow Today.
Phase one is complete after the initial presented their best scientific ideas for the six-month mission.
Next.
Only the best of the best were chosen to advance to the next stage.
We're puttin' you through to the next round.
As the selection process continues, the 120 candidates now enter phase two-- physical fitness training.
All departments throughout global dynamics are working to make the historic mission to titan a reality As we count down to launch.
Hey! So am I early for coffee or are you late? No, it's me.
I'm sorry.
Work has been crazy since physical training started for the Astraeus candidates, and honestly, I just forgot.
It's okay.
We've still got time.
No, unfortunately, I don't.
I just got a shipment in, so now in addition to the exams, I have to install all this equipment.
I get it.
Maybe later? Yeah.
I'm sorry.
But I still think you're cute.
Oh, yeah? I think you're cute.
A little help, sheriff? - Thanks, sheriff.
- No problem.
Mornin', Jack.
Hey, Henry.
Wow! Tune-up and a hand wax.
That's what I call service! Jack, you ain't seen nothing yet.
I've extended your remote entry and, uh - Here, hold this, will ya? - Sure.
Uh, hey, guys, can I, uh, borrow your bat? - Sure.
- Thanks.
Oh! Ha ha ha ha ha! You like it? - Yeah - I've hardened it with a resilient super-dense protective coating.
That's science I can get behind.
Actually, I did it 'cause I was just tired of fixing it.
- Well, fair enough.
- Yeah.
Listen, I gotta run, 'cause candidate fitness training starts today.
Oh, and in Eureka, that involves, uh VR goggles and video games? Ha ha.
I wish! The instructor has a reputation for beingMerciless.
I said toes on the line, you worthless bunch of PHDS! You are group Alpha.
I will be attempting to train you for the physical fitness requirements of the Astraeus project.
This is my lab.
You wanna go into space-- on purpose-- you gotta go through me first.
Who knows what a push-up is? Oh! I do.
It's a calisthenics exercise focusing on the pectoral and triceps muscles Dating back to the greco-- IDon't think that's what she meant.
Why don't you all show me what a push-up is, say50 times? Down on the ground! You're a botanist, right? Kiss my grass! Looking good, Dr.
Deacon! Ah, thank you, Jo.
UhUh Miss Lupo.
Come on, alphas.
Group bravo says that you are the sorriest collection of community college rejects they've ever seen.
You wanna prove them right? What kind of mathematician can't count to 50? Anything else, miss Lupo? Well, I say 50 more Cupcake.
Let's go, people! Stop lookin' like a bunch of little girls in your panties! Go! Dr.
Martin, I was hoping to run into you at cafe diem last night to go over the FTL NAV integration specs? I'm sorry, did we have plans? I ate someplace else with someone else.
Oh.
Uh, no, no.
Here.
UmMaybe at some point you might wanna, you know, look over stuff together? Sure, sure.
Have you seen this? IDid just give it to you.
Once we establish an outpost on titan, we'll have a base for space exploration beyond our own galaxy.
- Isn't that exciting? - The most.
So, umSomebody else.
Is that like a colleague or a completely platonic friend? Let's keep moving, group delta.
Just thinkSome of them will get to see things we've only imagined through probe imagery and spectroscopic data-- cryo volcanoes.
Methane lakes.
Assuming they live long enough.
That guy hasn't run for anything since our Warcraft guild elected a new secretary.
Well I'm sure you'll do fine.
Your body mass index indicates a healthy level of fitness.
Here ya go.
Uh, thank you? WhaWhat are these for? No one's guaranteed a spot in the mission, including us.
But I'm the head of G.
D.
And a space veteran.
I'm not sure launching yourself into orbit and nearly destroying the ISS counts as experience.
But don't worry.
You're not gonna be alone.
See ya out there, cadet.
Hmm.
Nice logo.
This is extremely sophisticated imaging equipment.
Please be very careful.
Someone got new toys.
Yes.
Thanks to the Astraeus budget.
Fargo, what are you doing? Apparently, we're supposed to run everywhere.
One of Jo's commandments.
Well, it's good to see you leading by example I'm sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that holly is in your group? Who, Dr.
Martin? She is? I did not know that.
Yeah, Fargo, you better go change.
NASA's here for the national biology review.
About that I was wondering if you could handle it for me? Fargo, look around you.
I have to handle all the candidate physicals, not to mention give the entire town inoculations.
Oh, look, and they just brought more.
Inoculations as in Shots? As interplanetary protection protocol.
We can't risk introducing a pathogen on this mission.
- I'm just busy.
- Uh-huh.
Read.
They're presenting a new method for chemosynthesis detection? Fine.
I'll do it.
Thank you! All right.
Well, I'd better get started.
Okay, everyone, these boxes aren't going to unpack themSelves Mmm.
SoNo boot camp for you, sheriff? I'm in the best shape of my life, Vince.
And you know what? They don't make maple bars in space.
Too true.
My momShe acts like she's already in space.
She cooked me fried eggs this morning.
She knows I only eat scrambled.
Well, your mom's got a lot going on with the whole, uh, Astraeus medical thing.
What, so now I'm supposed to starve? Yeah.
You gotta starve.
Oh.
Hey, Andy, let me guess.
It's a quantum runaway something or other.
Someone did what? I-I'll be right there.
Someone robbed a bank! Yeah! Should he really be happy about that? No blob.
No wormhole.
Just a good old-fashioned bank robbery.
You seem downright perky, boss.
Yeah! We're gonna do fingerprints.
We're gonna do a tire impression.
We gonna interview Witnesses.
- Andy? - Yeah, boss? You said there was a Bank robbery.
Yep.
Someone stole it last night.
Of course they did.
Well, it didn't get dragged off, - so where'd it go? - Good question.
Although, I am seeing bits of crystal lattice decompression.
- Is that--that good, bad? - Well, it's strange.
I meanEven teleportation wouldn't leave this kind of quantum signature.
And why would anybody steal a bank? Because that's where they keep the money.
Oh, come on, Jack.
Monetary transactions in Eureka are done how? - Electronic.
- Exactly.
So the bank only holds safety deposit boxes.
No money.
Just personal items.
So what? So somebody wanted to steal something - inside the safety deposit box.
- Yeah, well They went through an awful lot of trouble.
I mean, the bank is reinforced with osmium.
I mean, the vault is-- is a solid block of the stuff.
It is the densest, heaviest object in town.
You just can't pick it up and walk off with it.
Right.
Hey, Andy.
A-anything? Uh, no sign yet, boss.
But we have some folks here that are pretty concerned about their safety deposit boxes.
If you could all just form a single line, that would be swell.
Any chance you might be coming back? Soon? Uh, yeah.
I'll be back in a second.
Let me know if you find anything.
Got it.
Bank robbery.
This town can't do anything normally.
Let's go, group bravo! Oh, Fargo, nice of you to join us.
Yes.
The navigation systems will be online soon, senator.
Doug, over here! Doug? Doug is shorter than Douglas.
I can save almost 60 milliseconds every time I say your name.
Wow.
That's, uh That's efficient.
Uh, yeah, sorry, the FTL-- Dr.
Parrish.
- Doug.
- Toes on the line! Group bravo! Group Alpha says that you are the sorriest collection of community college rejects Zane.
What are you doing here? Hammer curls, miss Lupo.
Are you trying to mess with me? No, ma'am.
I'm here for candidate training.
You're in group Alpha.
I'm in all the groups.
I like a challenge.
You can't do that.
Put on your uniform.
He can't do that.
Can he--can he do that? Looks like he can.
Impressive musculature and stamina.
Yeah, well, if you, uh, like that sort of thing.
Too bad about his criminal record.
I mean, sure, the whole bad boy thing has a certain appeal, but those felonies make him no-fly.
So he's Totally ineligible for the mission.
This should help with your sprain.
Love the new nanoscale tomograph.
Me too! It's like a thousand times more detailed than any mri.
Thank you, Astraeus.
So I hear that Jo has you running tires? OhhAnd doing chin-ups.
Those are the worst.
I am a neuroscientist, notG.
I.
Jane.
Oh, but Henry He is loving every minute of it.
Well, let's see how much he's loving it when he comes in for his physical today.
Ah Look at this.
Good as new.
- Thanks, Allison.
- Good.
So listen, can I talk to you for aSecond as a neuroscientist? Of course.
When I was working in here this morning, one moment I'm looking at a stack of boxes, and the next They're completely unpacked.
Dozens of vials of vaccines mixed and ready to administer.
- Did your staff do it? - No.
That's the strangest part.
I asked them, and they said that I did.
Have you had any nausea or shortness of breath? No.
No.
I feel fine.
My preliminary diagnosis is you are an overworked mother of two.
And typically, I would prescribe a week in Fiji.
But, uh, let me run some tests just to be sure.
- Okay.
- Dr.
Blake.
Your next exam's here.
Okay.
Thank you.
WellI will do that when I get a chance.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Sure.
Let's go, group bravo! Go, go, go! You're not even supposed to be in this group, Parrish! I transferred.
Dr.
Martin and I discussed it during dinner.
- You ate with him? - Yeah.
Then he showed me his equipment.
It was really something.
My collection of antique particle physics equipment is unparalleled.
Partner up! - Hey! - Not now, Larry! Get off the phone.
Don't make me say it again.
Crunch time, poindexters.
After you, doctor.
Why don't I get to choose my own partner? I mean, I am the boss.
Out here, I'm the boss.
Here.
Jump rope, susie.
- So you guys really went out? - Isaac made samosas.
Do you know he lived in India for a while? And the view of mount Eureka was so pretty.
We took a picnic up to that little campground You know, the one by the observatory.
Oh, yeah, I hear there's a lot of blood-sucking ticks up there.
He hears a lot of things.
What? No, no, I'm still waiting for inventory from six departments-- Everybody, thank Dr.
Fargo for the medicine ball drills we're about to do.
Set them for 10 pounds, eggheads! Miss Lupo, Doug is just doing his job.
The things he's doing are things that need doing.
Do you want to set them to 20 pounds, Dr.
chatterbox? No.
Way to keep your eye on the ball, Doug.
Ooh! Aah! Great! Perfect, brainiac! Sorry, miss Lupo.
I-I guess I don't know my own strength.
All right, move it! Get after him! Go! We could put out an apb.
On a bank? That's not a conversation I wanna have with the highway patrol.
See? Look at this stuff.
I mean, you got someone's first slide rule.
You got an antique higgs field disruptor.
You-- mint condition betamax.
No one would wanna steal this stuff.
The sentimental nature of the items suggests perhaps the perp will seek a ransom.
Or he runs the most boring museum in the world.
Or flea market.
Don't say perp.
Okay.
- Sheriff Carter.
- Yeah.
My grandmother's heirlooms were in the bank.
Just tell us what you're missing, Dr.
boyle, and we will add it to the list.
Okay.
Carter.
UhWhat's that, Jo? Fargo's where? Up a tree, kitten style.
Aah! Mommy.
How'd he get up a UmAll right, I-I'll be right there.
There in a second.
Grandma's gold wedding band, her pearls - Mm-hmm.
- Her antimatter.
Antimatter.
Dr.
boyle I didn't know the bank allowed proton collider output material.
It's an heirloom.
And it's in a class two static field which should protect it under most normal circumstances.
Oh.
Good.
Th-that's good why, Andy? Antimatter is extremely volatile.
One ounce can yield an explosive force equal to 1.
22 megatons of tnt.
So someone didn't steal a bank.
They stole a bomb.
See, grandmas are supposed to make pie, not antimatter.
- Ah.
- Ah! Hey, Jack, you're all set here.
Oh, good.
So the antimatter detector tracks levels of antiparticle energy, - so the more it beeps - The closer you're getting.
- Right.
Right.
- How's our baryonic asymmetry? - Nominal.
- Ah! Well, thank God, 'cause if you know there's Yeah.
I don't know what that is.
Dr.
Boyle's antimatter is most likely still in the bank vault.
So the detector will lead us right to the big bomb.
Right.
You know, this case was cool and old school for like a minute.
Oh, and, uh Fargo's stuck in a tree, if you can help out.
- Okay! - All right.
- Stuck in a tree? - I don't know, it's-- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no GPS.
I get it.
Oh I'd have to map the wake flow path lines to be sure, but your airspeed must have been like 25 Miles per hour.
There we go.
Hey, I think you left your dignity up there.
- Oh, I'll show you dignity-- - Calm down, Fargo.
But it was sabotage! He tampered with the medicine ball.
Oh, please, like you need my help washing out of contention for Astraeus.
Or other things.
Andy, arrest him.
I'm pressing charges.
Oh, I didn't touch the stupid medicine ball! Okay, I swear I will flunk both of you! You have the chance to go into space.
This is how you're gonna treat the opportunity? Why don't I go find that ball and we'll see what's what, huh? Fantastic.
All of you get back to the field! - They need me back at G.
D.
- Of course they do.
You're never gonna qualify at this rate, Doug.
You can kiss that ticket to titan good-bye.
The spirit of competition might be getting the best of some people.
It's not a fight to the death.
Although, we don't know what miss Lupo has planned for later.
Ha.
Can't wait.
We could squeeze in another workout, get you caught up.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I'd like that.
- Great.
I'll give you a call once Isaac checks me for ticks.
Yeah, yeah, I'm coming! Ugh.
Shots.
See? That wasn't so bad.
You may be a little sore later.
I feel a lot sore.
I missed the Astraeus subsystem inspection 'cause I was busy getting shot into a tree, and now I'm gonna miss sweaty yoga 'cause I have a call with Washington.
Fargo, running G.
D.
Is a big job, and so is being an Astraeus candidate-- Up with that? That's an awesome idea.
Let me think about it.
Wait.
Think about what? Making you temporary head of G.
D.
? Just until I get back from space, of course.
Hey, hon.
How you doing? ThisIs pointless.
I am not gonna be doing chin-ups on titan.
All right, you'll get it.
Can I--can I help? Henry, you can't fix this.
I mean We have always done everything together.
What if this time you have to leave me behind? You know what? I think we'll figure it out.
Oops.
Sorry to interrupt, folks.
Just lookin' for some balls.
Medicine balls.
They seem to have vanished.
- Vanished.
- Dense stuff, osmium.
Fairly unusual for it to justFloat away.
- Right.
- There's more in the gym - back at G.
D.
- Fantastic.
- Henry, what is it? - Osmium.
The bank vault is made of the same substance.
- Hey, Henry.
- Jack, where are you? Well, according to this thing, I'm right on top of the anti Matter.
Where'd you come from? Henry - I just found the bank.
- Jack-- Oh-- aah! I'm fine.
- You fell 50 feet.
- Into water.
When you go to med school, I'll take your word for it.
Well, maybe I will go to med school.
Good news, uhWe were having some signal problems, but we have a fix on the bank, and it's intact.
Well, intact but floating.
- Well, there is that.
- Yeah.
Well, maybe it's a Gravitational anomaly or, uh, electromagnetic levitation-- no.
What would happen if the bank came crashing down with that antimatter inside it? Right.
Enough said.
Let's fire up the chopper and go get that bomb.
- Allison-- - No, no, no.
No.
Can't put anything up in the air until we know what's going on.
Besides, the chopper's already up there.
- Oh! - WithoutA pilot.
What? Wait, no, th-that can't be made from the os-stuff.
Well, no, but it has components made of iridium which is a similar density to osmium.
So objects with high concentrations of dense metals are being affected.
Well, then what about my jeep? The protective coating I applied contained an osmium compound.
Sorry.
Well, if a protective coating is floating my jeep, this thing's getting worse.
It seems to be.
You okay? Yeah, I'm just, um A little scattered.
Probably stress.
I don't know, maybe I just need to-- to take a break.
- Well, that's a first.
- Yeah.
Um, but right now I need to speak with Henry, and you need to take care of the town, sheriff.
Sure.
All done tormenting physicists? Half my equipment floated away.
Training's been canceled until we fix whatever gravity glitch you geniuses have caused.
We're, uh, heading back to G.
D.
Lead with the jab Then the cross.
Jab's the can opener.
The cross is the spoon.
Hmm.
I didn't know you boxed, Lupo.
Oh, not since flight school.
Knockout.
I bet.
Hey, rocky.
Training's canceled.
Unless you want a bank to fall on your head.
All this work to get back into space.
After what you and Fargo went through, I didn't think you'd want to.
I didn't at first, but then What? I was 11 once.
To be an astronaut Every kid's dream.
Then you grow up.
Hey, uh, Zane, look, uh Your criminal record disqualifies you from being in the Astraeus project.
- Yeah, I know.
- What? You--I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to tell you.
An hour? That's what you came up with? Why are you putting yourself through all this? I want them to see what they're missing.
They're gonna tell me I can't go? Screw them.
Okay, baby, you go in here and play.
Kevin, you okay? Once I beat this level, I will be.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
: There's an overshield behind the covenant outpost.
Really? Thanks, s.
A.
R.
A.
H.
Where is my tablet? Kevin, I'm gonna go to the car and look for it.
Okay.
Hi.
So I assume the lack of massive explosion means it's still up there.
Yeah.
But it seems the bank is gaining altitude.
You don't hear that every day.
At least I think it is.
Something's making our signals bounce around like crazy.
Well, we got a bulldozer, a big-ass telescope, and a turbine up there.
Are you sure one of your zero-g space gizmos isn't leaking? That's not how zero-g works.
Well, not unless you subscribe to the theory of graviphotons where the superpartner of the graviton exerts a repulsive force.
Like Dr.
Parrish.
Hi, Henry.
You okay? Yeah.
Fine.
Scanner shows that, uh, gravity is operating Normally.
Well, we got a bunch of stuff up in the air.
How is that not gravity being messed up? Because gravity doesn't make things heavy.
The higgs field.
Uh, isn't that where the mariners hold spring training? No.
That's in peoria stadium in Arizona.
The higgs field is the pervasive universal field that gives things mass.
Objects lose mass, they begin to float when the field is disrupted.
LikeBy a higgs field disruptor.
There's one in the safety deposit box in the floating bank.
There were 76 objects aloft at last count.
It's getting crowded up there.
Yeah.
The disruption's affecting gold, lead, carbon compounds.
At the rate the bank's losing mass, but tonight we'll have to call NASA to make a withdrawal.
The higgs field interacts more strongly with dense, heavy objects than light ones.
Petro gravity field generators.
They increase gravity in a localized area.
Nice.
Oh, these are in the smart house.
Right.
Full-spectrum shielding.
- Allison and the kids-- - Oh! Aah! It's adjustable! Aaaarrhh! AhaThere we go.
Come on.
- You all right? - Yeah.
My, that's good stuff.
Didn't know you were gonna turn it on.
Sorry.
You can deploy them around town until we figure out how to fix the higgs field.
It's okay, Jenna.
It's okay.
Mom, where were you? - Oh, I'm so sorry-- - You've been gone for hours! - Hours? - Yes! S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
And I called your phone like 20 times, and you didn't answer the phone.
We thought something happened to you.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, baby.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm sorry, baby.
I know.
Oh, mama's sorry.
- You guys reading me? - Yeah.
Loud and clear.
Okay.
So the higgs field will keep unraveling until we turn the disruptor off.
Objects with smaller and smaller amounts of dense material will lose mass.
How much time do we have? I'm guessing not much.
Guys, we're in trouble.
We're out of petros.
We've grounded Martha, and Andy and Jo have organized evacuation into G.
D.
Oh, good, G.
D.
's shielding will protect it - from the field disruption.
- Yes.
- For now.
- Yeah.
- How about our flying bomb? - 10,000 feet over tesla school and rising.
And all that redistributed matter's what's been interfering with our signals.
So that's why we couldn't find the bank at first.
Yeah, you know what, I should check the weather.
We may be looking for our town in Idaho.
Allison.
Hi.
What is it? You okay? - Kids okay? - Yes.
They're fine.
They're at the smart house with the nanny.
Good.
What's goin' on? I don't know.
I'm losing time somehow.
Pieces of my day are justGone.
Gone how? Well, one moment I'm doing something, and the next I'm somewhere else.
I left the kids alone for hours today.
What if something had happened to them? Okay.
Um You gotta have someone take a look at thisO-okay? Grace ran some tests on me.
She couldn't find anything.
- Well, then-- - Jack I feel like I'm losing myself.
Hey! This looks really intense, but I have to tell you Jo found who owns the higgs field disruptor.
- Great! - Go.
Floating banks come first.
We're gonna figure this out, okay? We might even get to use some of your shiny new doctor toys.
This way, ladies and gentlemen.
You heard Mr.
data.
No pushing, stay calm.
Oh, hey, Carter.
They're right here.
Right.
Thanks.
Parrish! You didn't mention you had a collection of doomsday devices.
It's particle physics equipment, sheriff Carter.
See, I don't see the difference.
Of course you don't.
It is a collectible one-of-a-kind higgs field disruptor.
It's signed, although the authenticity of the signature is-- Hey! It disrupts The higgs field! You should put it someplace safe.
Oh, you mean like in a bank? Yeah, like-- I see your point.
So when did you make the deposit? - Yesterday.
- Jack, it's an antique.
I mean, it should be completely inert.
It would take a powerful source of antiparticle energy to jumpstart that.
How about antimatter? Is that antiparticle-y enough for you? Yes.
That would do it.
SoSomeone has to go up there and separate the device from the antimatter that's powering it.
Duty calls, sheriff.
Why is it always heights? All right.
Nanoscale tomography analysis complete.
Let's see what we got here.
Show me the crazy.
Foreign bodies have been detected throughout the neocortex.
Clarify.
Those aren't Tumors or lesions.
Negative.
The nanoparticles are man-made, composed of bio-conductive material.
Neural implants.
Aah! Ha ha aah! Ugh! Could there be a more terrifying way to get up? No.
I don't think so.
- I'm in! - Good luck, Jack.
Aah! Aah! Jack? I'm all right.
Good.
Now, get yourself to the vault.
That's where the higgs field disruptor is.
Huh--hah! Oh! Hah! AhOh! Ah Jack, be careful, now.
The building may be unstable.
Noted.
Unstable bank.
But what bank isn't? At least there's no line! I'm at the vault.
It's locked.
How can-- how can it be locked? The closest electricity's two Miles straight down! It's got a redundant power supply.
Just put your hand on the scanner.
The DNA locks have been recoded for you.
G.
D.
has your sputum on file.
That's disgusting! All right, Jack, to deactivate the disruptor, you need to separate it from the antimatter by using the penning trap.
That's the box we attached to your belt.
Right! Ready for box numbers! Uh Do I have to lick the lock? You can if you want, but that would be weird.
Someone put her in front of a cartoon! Jack, the boxes are openingNow.
Oh.
Ah Ah Got aLittle glowy vial of liquid.
Doesn't seem to be an on or off switch.
O-okay, Jack, uh--uh Don't panic, but that's not the disruptor.
That's the antimatter.
Just put it carefully in the penning trap.
You mean the box? If you mean the box, you say box! Put it in the box! Don't yell at me! Stupid penning trap.
Okay.
What's next? Uh, check The disruptor.
Check the-- right.
Uh Looks like it's powering off! It worked! Now the higgs field will gradually restabilize.
And all the affected objects will slowly regain their normal mass and come to earth in a controlled descent.
Guys? I'm goin' down! Aah! Should he be falling faster than everything else? Should I-- should I what now? Huh What huh? Looks like the bank will return to normal mass long before it hits the ground.
I need to check my math.
Yes, please! Guys! Time is of the essence! All right, Henry.
Unlock the boxes.
Maybe something here can help us! Uh, done.
All right, so we can generate a magnetic levitation field - using our supercollider.
- That takes ten minutes.
I've got the inventory list from Andy.
Well, there's gotta be like a giant air bag in here or something! What about an electromagnetic cushion? The bank's falling way too fast.
The impact would pancake it.
Yeah! Fantastic! Thrust! Vertical piloting.
It's how you land a jump jet on an aircraft carrier.
Of course.
We can counteract the downward momentum of the bank with something pushing up.
You want me to fly a bank? No, not fly.
Just land.
- With what? - Okay, Jack, you've got the higgs field disruptor.
Now, we can turn it back on, but we need a focused burst.
If there was a field amplifier up there Yeah, there is.
I-I just gotta find it here somewhere.
SoWhat does it look like? - It's like a littleEh - It's not that little.
It's-- - Well, it's roundish, it's-- I-I-it's kind of like aA - Yeah, yeah, it Today! It--smallish.
You know--baskety.
Like a broccoli steamer? Oh.
I was gonna say parabolic antenna, but sure, that's okay.
So point it to the ground and flip the switch.
And then Jack, very carefully, just for an instant, open the box.
All right! Here goes! Whoa! That's not what a bank robbery means Just so you know.
Sorry, sheriff.
The bank was the epicenter of the disruption.
We didn't account for its accelerated mass recovery.
So, uh, we're all good? Good? That was awesome! Yeah! Awesome.
Cleanup's underway.
We'll get the Maglev crew here once they're done hauling Archimedes out of a corn field.
Everything make it down okay? M-mostly.
One or two things escaped the e.
M.
Shield before we set it to contain the floaters.
Where's my jeep? Ah Four.
Five.
- Ha ha ha ha ha! - Oh Good for you.
You know, whatever crazy test is next, I'm ready for it.
Come here.
I wanna talk to you.
- Henry, what's - Ah What's wrong? Allison's new scanner has found something in my heart, an atrial septal defect.
Now, I'mFine as long as I'm here on earth.
But because of titan's unusual pressure and--and gravity, I'm cut from mission selection.
But I want you to go.
Oh, I'm going.
A little hesitation would have been nice.
AndYou're coming with me.
- Grace-- - Henry.
This is Eureka.
We solve the impossible every day.
We will find a way to help you.
Dr.
Parrish Your equipment's a lot Smaller than you made it out to be.
OhhMy disruptor! Holly, I'd like to take you up on that workout offer a little later.
I've got time, and gear's not floating off everywhere.
Yeah, great.
Yes.
Oh! I have determined that basketball provides the optimal mix of cardio respiratory and muscular fitness.
I like to dribble.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
I'll get my high tops.
Ah, Dr.
Parrish, I need you to pull inventory reports from your department right now.
Mm.
I see what you're doing, Doug.
Dr.
Fargo.
Out here, I'm the boss.
At least for now.
Inventory reports.
Hmm Excuse me.
Ooh! Don't forget your little thingy.
- What's this? - Orbital dynamics.
Being an astronaut is every kid's dream.
But listen.
Me join the Astraeus mission? No.
No.
Why not? Right stuff.
Because I am Not smart enough.
I heard you saved Carter's bacon today with science.
You're plenty smart.
The eccentric anomaly is the can opener and Kepler's equation is the spoon.
- Zane - Look, I'm a felon.
You're a grunt with a gun.
How 'bout we screw some expectations, huh? What? Uh, we, um We never talked like this before.
True.
Our conversations usually end with you reading me my rights.
That's That's not what I mean.
Me and the other you, we sort of skipped past the being friends part.
Oh.
Is that what we're doing here? I just thought my life would be a lot simpler if you were on another planet.
Now, drop and give me Cupcake.
Cupcake.
Cute.
Mm-hmm.
- All right.
- Start over here.
Hi.
Hey.
So you solved your bank robbery.
Yeah.
Turns out the only person who broke inWas me.
I, uhLooked for ya at the infirmary.
But they said you ran some sort of Unpronounceable scan on yourself.
Oh, a nanoscale tomography.
It's a hyper-detailed medical imagery.
And? What'd you--what'd you find? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Maintaining connection at full signal strength.
There's no more interference from the higgs field disruption, miss Barlowe.
So what do you think it is, justStress? Yes, I I don't know what came over me.
It's just Work's been crazy.
But I am feeling much better now, Jack.
Good.
