Eureka s04e15 Episode Script

Phase two of the Astraeus mission wraps up with our candidates surpassing even the highest of physical standards.
The selection process continues.
On to phase three, psychological analysis.
And thanks to all Eureka residents for making the planetary protection protocol inoculation a huge success.
You can never be too careful.
Because who knows what new discoveries await us on Titan? The clock is set.
Time marches on.
Titan, here we come.
Previously on Eureka You've already found someone new.
He's funny and so hot.
Her new guy is my old guy? I had to get it out of my system.
Yeah, well, watch it.
There are other people involved.
Other female people, like my daughter.
My name is Beverly Barlow.
She's back.
There are thousands of us.
Scientists, politicians, thinkers.
We're the watchdogs, working to control scientific developments.
A plan is already in motion.
And everyone has a part to play.
Hello, Allison.
So Allison's a threat.
They said you ran some sort of scan on yourself.
What'd you-- what'd you find? Nothing.
It's just, work's been crazy, but I am feeling much better now, Jack.
I really appreciate you taking the kids, mom.
Yes, Kevin has been looking forward to being spoiled by his Nana.
Jenna, yeah.
I know she can be a handful, so don't take your eye off of her.
Nap time Well, you know, whenever she seems tired.
Uh-huh.
Huh, tragic.
What? Oh, no, no, mother.
Uh, just a stray dog outside.
Yeah.
Well, nothing to write home about.
Hmm.
Yes, mother, I will talk to you later.
Okay.
Kiss the kids for me.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Hmm.
Yeah, I think this'll do.
I'll see you guys in a second.
Hey! I should arrest you for disturbing the peace.
Hmm, well, that sounds like fun.
Yeah, I thought you were gonna come over last night.
I sent you a text.
Are you sure you did that right? No, not really.
Yeah, but I--I miss you.
I feel like we've been a little out of sync.
Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Things have just been crazy with the Astraeus mission testing.
Senator Wen is coming in from Salem for the official handoff of G.
D.
And how's your head? Oh, it's fine.
Good.
I can't believe Fargo's giving up running G.
D.
for a chance to go to Titan.
I mean, uh, they don't have cable there.
That would be true.
But the transfer's only temporary.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the job.
Really, you're telling me you're not a little bit excited about being big cheese again? - Maybe just a little.
- Hmm, all right.
Well, don't let the rush of power go to your head.
I will do my best.
Gotta go.
I will see you tonight.
- Yeah, promises, promises.
- Mm-hmm.
Bye, Carter.
Jack.
Old habit.
Right.
Girlfriend's looking good.
Yeah.
Everything okay? Uh, I hope so.
I heard Zoe's coming back into town for a visit.
Yeah, it's a bit unexpected, but Jo's picking her up.
What? Uh, that's-- that's not good.
Oh, what-- what have you done now? Nothing, but from what Pilar says, I don't think that we're her two favorite people right now.
Hey.
Hey, stranger.
Welcome home.
I thought my dad was picking me up.
Uh, he, uh, he was.
But I--I thought it would be fun to catch up on the drive home.
You know, I wanna hear everything.
Yeah, that makes two of us.
Shall we? Thanks for calling the hospital, Henry.
It's just that something's not right.
She did have an accident.
Yeah, but she's not herself.
You know, the headaches and-- and the-- I just-- I just-- You know, I think Grace has more experience with those feelings than I do.
I mean, in our case, you know, I just wasn't myself.
Wormhole humor? Sorry.
Oh.
- I'm still on hold.
- Yeah.
And it doesn't help that Zane's P.
A.
L.
system identifier is a security threat.
Well, let's just see what we find-- Yes, hello.
Uh, yes, this is Dr.
Henry Deacon.
You treated a patient of mine on the 7th.
Allison Blake.
Uh, she had a car accident.
I need to transfer her records for follow-up treatment.
Really? Well, that's concerning.
Uh, no.
But thanks for your help.
It's bad, isn't it? Subdermal hematoma? Pheochromocytoma? Concussion? It's a-- there was a house marathon on last night, so, like-- There's nothing.
There is no record of her at all.
Did she go to a different hospital? He said that's the only hospital in the area.
They didn't treat any accident victims that day.
And he was absolutely positive.
That doesn't make sense.
I mean, she had memory loss, even to the point where she had to scan herself when she got back.
- Do you know the results? - No.
No, she wouldn't say anything, so They would be in her G.
D.
file.
Which-- I know.
Which-- I know, I know.
Well, and you also know the only way to access G.
D.
medical records is in the infirmary.
Funny thing.
Allison's taking over for Fargo today.
She won't be in the infirmary.
All right, um-- let me just see what I can do.
Okay.
Oh, and, um-- do you have your-- your, um-- the MRI, uh, pen scanny thing? Oh, yeah, Jo has it.
It's in her office.
- Great, thanks.
- Where you heading? Uh, I need to go take a closer look at the accident site.
A really close look.
Okay.
Just need to type in my master code, and I'll no longer be director of G.
D.
Then we should get to it.
Right.
Just a few keystrokes away.
And it's back to being Joe citizen for me.
Yep.
Here we go.
Is it hot in here? Dr.
Fargo.
Right.
Okay.
That's it.
Dr.
Blake, enter your new code, please.
Security code accepted.
Transfer's complete.
I'm officially a nobody again.
Congratulations, Dr.
Blake.
Until the final selections are made for the Astraeus mission, you are acting director of Global Dynamics.
Thank you, Senator Wen.
And I will do my best to keep things running smoothly in Dr.
Fargo's absence.
Oh, I have no doubt.
Getting this mission ready to launch is your top priority.
Of course, senator.
Oh, someone's in a hurry.
Oh, no, I was just heading out.
Without stopping to see me? You on a case? Nah, I just borrowed something from Jo.
Was that uh-- uh, Senator Michaela Wen, yes.
I'm officially running this place again.
Congratulations.
Why, thank you.
You okay? Not to worry.
You sure? I've never been better.
See you later, tiger.
You want me to access Allison's confidential medical files? Yes, she had a CT scan, and we're concerned about her.
"We" being you and Carter? Yes.
Classic.
I can't apply for the Astraeus mission because of my past felonies for computer crimes.
But yet every time I turn around, you guys are asking me to commit them.
I--I do see the irony.
I-- Yeah, well, what the hell.
It's not like one more is gonna make a difference, right? But I can't do that unless I'm in the infirmary, which happens to be full of people right now.
Which is why I called you.
Any suggestions? Viral coding? What are you doing? I'm invalidating the subroutines in the infirmary computer with a rousten binary worm.
So that they'll need someone who understands tertiary codex to make the repairs.
Yep.
Who you gonna call? You're a little too good at this, I think.
Yeah, I know.
So since we're doing favors, can I ask you something I can't really talk about with anyone else? If it has to do with the mechanics of sexual activity in zero G, No.
It's not that.
Although now I have several questions.
Seriously, though, um After you had your whole time shift, you know, when you came back from 1947, how did Grace handle that? I don't know what you're talking about.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, not very well.
It's been a process of getting to know each other.
She again, me for the first time.
See, why can't Lupo be like that? I mean, it's not like I wanna dive into a relationship or anything.
Honestly, waking up married next to a stranger is my worst nightmare.
Mm.
That's not how I meant that.
That's okay.
It's just I can't help but feel a little bit insulted.
I'm not just some piece of meat.
I have feelings.
Well, it's a, um, unique situation.
Um, you can't force it.
You just have to give it time.
Time.
We're all done here.
What now? Aha.
Go for Donovan.
Oh, really? As a matter of fact, I can fix that.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm on my way now.
Let's roll.
So, uh, how's school? Are you still liking the, uh, the pre-med program? Have you met the, uh, future Mr.
Zoe Carter yet? Well, I thought I had.
- Yeah? - Until you slept with him.
Excuse me? Zane? How long have you two been sleeping together? Jo.
It's a small town.
You went behind my back, Jo.
You, of all people! I mean, Pilar, sure, but you're like my sister.
What happened with Zane started long before you were ever interested.
But you two hate each other.
It's complicated.
Then why didn't you say anything when I told you I liked him? Because it was over then.
It-- Things took a really, really drastic turn with us.
Why? I can't say.
You can't, or you won't? Hey, Jack.
Hey, Henry.
So, Jack, what'd you find out there? Nothing.
There's no sign of a crash.
And plus, the Highway Patrol doesn't have an accident report.
It's like it never happened.
Uh, do you have Allison's medical scans? Uh, yeah, with a little help from Zane.
Now, it shows that there's a radical change in her C.
T.
A.
Cortex telemetric activity.
Really? Do I have to ask? Her brain isn't behaving like her brain.
Okay.
Um, what could cause that? Well, we're still analyzing the data.
But you know what, Jack? You were right.
Something's happened to her.
I'll be right there.
Already back in the saddle, huh? You don't waste any time.
Well, I thought I should review the status of the Astraeus project.
You know, get up to speed.
I'm also beefing up security, and I have deputy Andy getting a program upgrade.
I just want to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Oh, okay.
Well, just here to get my last few personal effects.
Yeah, but seriously.
Don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions.
There've been a few changes since you were director.
Maybe I'll make some changes of my own.
No, seriously.
Don't mess with my office.
That couch is imported.
Aren't you late for space training? I'm going.
I just wanna make sure you're settled in.
Not too settled.
Good-bye, Fargo.
Imported.
Where'd everyone go? The computers are down.
Yeah, don't ask.
All right, so what'd you find? This.
Tell me those aren't tumors.
Oh, no, no, no.
I mean, we're not sure, but we think it's the same technology as a BMI.
A B-BMI? Uh, brain-to-machine interfaces.
They were developed for military pilots to control aircraft from the ground using only their brain.
So you're telling me that Allison has the remote control to an airplane in her head.
No, no, no.
She doesn't, no.
This technology is BBI.
Brain-to-brain interface.
Someone else could be controlling her.
Well, she hasn't been acting like herself.
Because somebody hacked your girlfriend.
The question is, why? Because she just became head of Global Dynamics.
I gotta go.
Jack, what are you-- Surprise! I hope you're hungry.
A picnic.
Your text said it was urgent.
Yes, but I managed to text successfully, which is cause for celebration in and of itself.
And, um, I just wanted to spend some time with you.
And look at the great work that Vincent did.
- Oh, it's so sweet.
- Yeah.
But my day is really crazy.
I can't stay.
Okay.
I can take a rain check.
But there is one thing I would like before you go.
What would that be? I would like to know what the hell you've done with my girlfriend.
What are you talking about? Allison Blake.
I've seen the brain scans.
I knew I shouldn't have kissed you.
It was just too tempting.
Oh, was it? Who are you? Believe it or not, I am not the bad guy, Jack.
Considering you've hijacked my girlfriend's brain, I would disagree.
You have a point.
Mm-hmm.
I guess we're at an impasse.
I guess we are.
Oh, sheriff, I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this.
Come to what? Plan B.
It's always something.
I've cut Eureka off from the outside world.
That should buy us some time.
But we have to hurry.
The BBI interface with Allison becomes less stable the longer I use it.
I'd really prefer not to get stuck inside her head.
That would be unfortunate.
What about the sheriff? He forced my hand, and I had to use the fail-safe.
The nanosensors that we planted in the inoculations worked.
Perfectly.
Now hurry.
I don't have much time.
You stabbed me in the back.
I would never.
When you told me about this great new guy that you liked, if I had known that it was him, I never would have encouraged you.
Even after you found out, you continued to see him.
No, it-- we weren't together then.
You just said it's been years.
Which is it, Jo? Well, both.
On and off.
It's hard to explain.
You know, time is-- is a tricky thing.
You started up again after you found out I was interested in him? This isn't making me look any better, is it? No, not so much.
Okay, look, Zoe.
You have to believe me.
- Jo, stop.
- Okay, no.
- Not until you listen.
- No, stop! Oh, my God.
Jo, what's happening? Are-- are they-- I don't know.
Come on.
He has a pulse.
Yeah, this one, too.
They're alive.
It's like they're in a coma.
What could do this to the whole town? I don't know.
It-- it's Eureka.
It could be a dozen things.
Okay, we need help.
It's dead.
Mine too.
Okay, Eureka has a secure network with a fission reactor backup.
It can't go down unless someone took it down deliberately.
Jo, where's my dad? Dad! Carter.
He's just like the others.
Jo, what if it's an outbreak? We're still all right.
Yeah, but the effects could be gradual.
I mean, there's lots of viruses that can paralyze our autonomic nervous systems and arrest your respiration.
Zoe, breathe.
Okay, whatever happened happened fast.
We're gonna get through this, okay? We need to do some blood work.
Uh, run a chem panel for toxicology.
- You know how to do that? - Sort of.
I just finished my pathology rotation at school.
So I can work a needle.
Space cocktails.
What? Allison's been administering inoculations to everyone for the Astraeus mission.
Okay, well that would explain why I'm not affected.
But why aren't you? Oh, well, because I didn't get mine yet.
I couldn't.
Needles just freak me out.
Okay, so maybe they're having an adverse reaction.
We need to see what's in the inoculations.
Okay, we'll get to the infirmary.
But, uh, look, in case we need to split up, Carter's old-school crap finally comes in handy.
That's not one of ours.
Come on.
Jo, wait, no.
I can't.
I can't leave without my dad.
Okay, come on.
Dekker.
Is there a problem? No, not at all.
You like what you see? I must confess it's a little disconcerting seeing you like this.
Well, you should try being me.
So where's the core chamber? Section five.
And you're sure that we can get in? I'm the new interim director of Global Dynamics.
I can go anywhere I want.
Let's go over here.
Oh, God.
Zane! I'm glad he's unconscious.
Can you help me, please? Fine.
I can't believe this is happening.
I wonder if-- if there's anyone left.
The security log shows that Allison activated the isolation protocols.
Well, so she could still be awake.
She took over as interim head of Global today.
Someone could have forced her to activate it.
Like whoever was flying that helicopter.
Okay, well, we need to help her.
You check the vaccine.
See if you can come up with some sort of antidote.
I'll try to find Allison.
And if she's still conscious, maybe she can tell us what's going on.
And if she's not? Well, then, we're all Eureka's got.
No pressure there.
We're gonna figure this out, okay? Trust me.
Well, that's a lot to ask for.
But okay.
Keep your radio on.
This is it.
Biometric scan complete.
Welcome, Dr.
Blake.
The master computer core of Global Dynamics.
You okay? Yeah, probably just a side effect from the implant.
Let's try this again.
Something is not right.
Without Blake's pass code, we may as well pack and go.
It's okay.
I think Allison's fighting me.
But there is another way.
We just need to get to section three.
What's in there? A laser lab.
We're gonna need a bigger key.
Please be okay.
What were they looking at? Allison? Computer, what is that? Foreign bodies have been detected throughout the neocortex.
- Allison.
- Jo.
Thank God someone else is awake.
What is going on? I was about to ask you.
Well, I was at Fargo's office, and suddenly, everyone just collapsed.
It's the same in town.
We could be under attack.
What-- what makes you say that? Well, there's a chopper on the G.
D.
landing pad, and it's not one of ours.
I heard voices in section three a few minutes ago.
We need to get somewhere secure.
No, we need outside help, if Eureka's been compromised.
Hey, why did you trigger the isolation protocols? I-- I was trying to quarantine the town.
Whatever they used could've been contagious.
Okay, we need to, uh, coordinate with the Pentagon.
Right now, we're flying blind.
Jo.
You're very good at your job.
Allison? No hard feelings.
Shot with my own pulse gun.
Locked in my own cell.
Oh, this is so not right.
Hey.
We're making progress.
I don't have much longer in here, and you need to start laying in the computer code.
It's cutting as fast as it can.
You bring the transmitter for your end? No, after all this preparation, - I left it in the car.
- Funny.
This'll tap into G.
D.
's data stream and bounce it directly to us.
It's all coming together.
Your father'd be proud.
It's only the first step.
But they'll never see it coming.
Jo? Jo, are you there? It's Zoe Carter.
The sheriff's daughter? What's she doing here? She shouldn't be.
Well, that's a problem.
Not necessarily.
Listen, Jo, I don't know if you can hear me, but there's something wrong with Allison's brain.
How does she know? Just get that door open, and worry about your part.
I'll handle this.
Zoe, is that you? Allison? Hi.
How are you? Well, the town's unconscious, so not great.
What are you doing here? Um, just in town for the long weekend.
So where's Jo? Fargo's office.
She's calling in outside help.
So I guess you heard what I said, then.
Zoe, don't worry.
I'm fine.
But G.
D.
's been compromised.
Tell me where you are, and I'll come get you.
Hey, you know what? That's not necessary.
I'm actually-- I'm good.
She knows you're not Blake.
We need to find her.
She's in the infirmary.
It's a pulse gun.
Don't hurt her.
We only need the data.
I'll do my best.
Hey, Allison, can I talk to Jo? Hang on.
I'm almost to the office.
Oh, no, she's unconscious, like all the others.
Whatever's causing this must be spreading.
It's just you and me now, Zoe.
We have to help each other.
Okay.
Just tell me one thing.
Anything.
When is Jenna's birthday? What? The date your daughter was born.
You always were a clever girl.
A primary narcissist with serious daddy issues, but clever.
And you sound just like my old shrink.
Because I'm perceptive.
But anyone can tell how scared you are right now.
You're not Allison.
Now you're being paranoid.
I don't think so.
I care about you, Zoe, and I just want you to be safe.
That's why you need to stay where you are.
My primary narcissism is gonna have to say no.
She's not in here.
Tell your storm trooper better luck next time, Beverly.
You are making a big mistake.
And you're a lousy therapist.
Have it your way.
Lock down her floor.
Section three lockdown now in effect.
All personnel have 30 seconds to reach secure locations.
Oh, crap.
There's nowhere to run, Zoe.
Lockdown complete.
Perfect.
Hello? Anybody? Really should have put a bathroom in here.
Why did I have the venti? Zoe? Come on out.
I'm not gonna hurt you much.
Cute.
Thanks, little guy.
Thank you.
I'm done playing nice.
Find her.
Zoe, I don't have time for this.
Hey, Beverly.
Bite me.
Great.
Now what? We're in.
Every project, plan, and schematic is stored here.
We need to initiate transmission now.
What about the girl? Dekker's taking care of her.
Surprise.
Surprise.
Hello? God, I hate irony.
Do you need a hand? Oh, my God, Zoe.
Thank God you're okay.
Look, get me out of here.
Allison has gone bugnuts.
It's not Allison.
It's Beverly Barlowe.
Beverly? But I-- I saw-- She put something in Allison's brain.
Trust me, it's Beverly.
Where's your keypad thing? Oh, behind Obama.
Okay.
What's the code? What? Apologize first.
Are you kidding? Okay, bigger issues.
Well, then, just apologize, and we can move on.
Or what? You're gonna leave me in here? Thank you.
Do you love him? I don't know.
When this is all over, find out.
Uh, okay.
Uh-oh, I think I know where she is.
The core chamber's been breached.
What's in there? Just every scientific advancement Eureka has developed since its inception.
And if she taps into the data stream-- Eureka's secrets go bye-bye.
Yeah.
Not on my watch.
Uh, Jo.
You do realize that hurting Beverly means hurting Allison, too.
Any closer to a wake-up call for the town? Well, the inoculations contain a synthetic neurotransmitter.
I think it might have triggered a flood of adenosine.
It makes you sleep.
My dad's levels were just off the chart.
Go Harvard.
I might be able to disrupt the transmitters, send out a small electric charge.
Revive everyone.
I'll go find Beverly.
Hey, Jo.
Yeah.
Be careful.
You, too.
Stand by.
Tapping into the core's data stream.
The interface is showing a dangerous spike in biocortex activity.
Blake's resisting.
We need to sever the link, or it could become permanent.
Not yet.
We're almost there.
Remote link active.
Starting transmission.
It's working.
Downloading Eureka's data stream.
Time to level the playing field.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Oh.
Boy, am I glad to see you.
Okay.
So if I'm correct, a high voltage, low amperage trigger should just be enough to wake my dad up.
And if I'm wrong I should really reconsider this whole doctor thing.
Okay, if Zane were awake-- if Zane were awake, he'd hack in and override the security.
Okay, that's what I need to do.
Uh, I--I gotta get caught to trigger the alarm.
Good.
Okay, computer, do your worst.
Download this, Beverly.
What the-- Nice of you two to show up.
You have her? No.
She was surprisingly determined.
So am I.
We just lost the link.
Looks like a security response was triggered by another computer.
It activated a complete shutdown.
These people are really starting to annoy me.
- What about the program code? - Done.
We should get outta here while we still can.
Did we get all the files we need? Well, I can't be certain.
The feed was interrupted.
That's not good enough.
I wanted to get in and out without anyone knowing we were ever here.
Since that's no longer an option, we go with the other approach.
- What's that? - Brute force.
I can't stay connected to Allison much longer.
I'll grab the black box mirror drive.
Get him to the chopper.
And try not to get knocked unconscious on the way.
Keep your circuits crossed.
Vital signs critical.
No, no.
Dad.
This isn't happening.
Dad, dad.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Dad.
Vital signs falling.
Dad.
Dad! Dad! - DadPlease don't die.
- Vital signs critical.
Vital signs stabilizing.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Vital signs stabilized.
This is very bad.
Zoe, I kicked Beverly out of the system, but she took the core hard drive.
I'm going after her.
Jo, I can't do this.
I almost lost him.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Yes, you do.
Just breathe.
Talk to me.
Tell me what's happening.
The inoculations everyone had triggered the reflex to put them to sleep.
Okay, and you, uh, tried to un-trigger it? Yes, I thought that I could short them out, but it didn't work.
And--and if that's not it-- Wait, you said that you kicked Beverly out of the computer system.
Yeah, I hacked in and triggered the alarm.
G.
D.
security did the rest.
Well, maybe I could do the same thing to my dad.
Instead of trying to shut down the neurotransmitters, I need to trigger his brain's natural functions to wake him up.
Okay, well, you lost me, but, uh, sounds great.
The real neurotransmitter, adenosine.
A small overdose might fool my dad's neurosystem into kick-starting itself.
Attagirl.
You can do this.
Okay.
Now go get that bitch.
Don't move! Or what, Jo? You'll shoot Allison? Oh, God.
I don't know if I can do this.
Thanks.
Come on, Jo.
If you shoot Allison, I'll be long gone before she hits the ground.
No one wants that.
You can't win here.
Okay.
Here we go.
You're right, Beverly.
I can't shoot Allison.
I'm glad you're being reasonable.
I wouldn't say that.
Payback's a bitch.
Go, go, go.
Allison.
Allison, can you hear me? Dad? Can you hear me? Beverly.
Beverly? Beverly doesn't live here anymore.
How can I be sure? Because I saved your life in 1947.
Now we're even.
Zoe.
Oh, thank God.
When did you get here? How you feeling? Well, it's good to be back to my old self.
Well, you and me both.
You know, Jack, it was surreal.
There were times when I was aware.
When she was trying to use my codes, I tried to fight her.
I tried to wake up.
You tried everything you could.
Yeah, well, it wasn't enough.
- Well-- - Uh, 'scuse me.
Fargo says we've recovered the black box, and all the data is safe.
We just don't know how much information Beverly has gotten, what she plans to do with it, or where she's gone.
Well, at the moment, I'm just glad she's not in your head, so I'm gonna go check on Grace.
Nice to have you back.
Thanks, Henry.
You know, Jo and Zoe were amazing today.
You should go talk to him.
Look, Zoe, I-- I'm not saying that I'm okay with what happened.
Honestly, I really don't understand why you did it.
But I'm not gonna stand in your way.
Thanks.
I'll be back in a second.
Zo.
How's my hero? Please, I almost killed you.
No, you brought me back.
