NARRATOR:
Previously on Eureka.
HENRY: Walter was
our top quantum physicist.
NATHAN: Walter created
some sort of tachyonic
accelerator.
Time as we know it,
ceases to exist.
Stark offered me
a position at GD.
Oh.
NATHAN:
You'll have 15 seconds
to view the artifact.
Believe it or not,
it's terrestrial in origin.
Carl, please,
I have to know.
What is it?
One day, you will know.
Will you be ready?
All rover computer links
are up and running.
Mark time and date.
9:27 a.m.
October 3rd, 2006.
Let's take it
for a test drive.
Allison Blake.
Jack Carter. What's up?
My blood pressure.
It's this suit,
isn't it?
No, it's Nathan Stark.
He's trying to dodge
jury duty by claiming
scientific immunity.
That sounds like Nathan.
He's down in Section Five
with Kim overseeing
some big test.
What kind of test?
Do you care?
Not really, just talking.
Ready when you are.
Open the door.
We are at
marginal proximity now.
No change in core temperature
or ambient emissions.
Let's proceed.
Igniting photon drill.
Extreme proximity now.
Still no reaction
from the artifact.
Moment of truth.
(RUMBLING)
What was that?
I don't know.
What's happening in there?
I don't know.
Systems are offline.
Get them back online!
I'm trying!
Oh, my God.
(MACHINE BEEPING)
SARAH: Good morning, Jack.
Morning, SARAH.
It's 7:00 a.m.
Yeah, give me 10 more minutes.
You said that 10 minutes ago.
And ten minutes before that.
It's time to get up.
Today's a big day.
Everyday's a big day.
I just need 10 minutes
to face it.
(MOANS)
Sounds like someone doesn't
want to face reality.
Oh, no.
I'm happy with my reality.
Just not ready
for it to change.
Well, it's a little late
for that, don't you think?
I like things
the way they are,
that's all I'm saying.
Taking a little trip
down denial, are we?
Look who's talking,
little Miss I don't think
Kevin should play football.
That was not denial.
That was responsible
parenting.
It was touch football,
intermural,
and I was the coach.
Shut up.
Just hand me my robe.
(GIGGLES)
You know,
at my house,
I had a real shower,
not this sonic bombardment
nothingness.
I miss the feeling
of actual wet water.
Yeah, well, your house won't
spiral into a depression
if you move out.
True.
SARAH: I heard that, Jack.
Oh, my God.
What?
You're huge!
That's nice,
very supportive.
No, I just, you know,
I'm going to have to build
a new wing on the bunker.
Twins run in your family?
Does male pattern baldness
run in yours?
Well played.
Hey, hey, seriously.
You have never,
ever looked more beautiful.
You barely saved yourself
with that one.
Morning.
Hey. Oh!
SARAH, wheatgrass, please.
Hey, does my hair,
look...
Never mind.
Dad, I really think you should
cut down on the caffeine.
Yeah, well, I'll stop drinking
caffeine when you stop
drinking the lawn.
So, you ready
for your big day?
No. You?
No. Not even a little.
So have you decided
on the ultrasound yet?
Yeah. Yeah,
and I want to be surprised.
It makes life
a little more interesting.
Yeah, well, life is plenty
interesting around here.
I think you're in denial.
Yeah, that's what Allie said.
Great minds.
Yeah, yes, they are.
Hey, Zoe?
You're going to be great.
Thanks. So are you.
(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)
Thank you to our
distinguished salutatorian.
And now it gives me
great pleasure
to present the valedictorian
for the class of 2010,
Zoe Carter!
ALL: Zoe! Zoe!
(ALL CHEERING)
You know, nobody is as
surprised as I am to see me
standing here today.
Except maybe my father.
When I first came to Eureka
four years ago,
I was in the back
of a police car,
and luckily my father
was driving,
and being a man,
he refused to stop
and ask for directions,
or we may have actually
reached our destination.
When I first came to Eureka,
I was on my way home,
and the irony is,
by crashing here,
I found one.
Thank you for
having faith in me.
Thank you for
making me and my dad
a part of your family.
I promise to do
my share of the chores,
and I'll try not to blow up
the world if you don't.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I present to you
the class of 2010.
(ALL CHEERING)
Hey.
Hey.
So, how did I do?
Not bad for
a nutty professor.
I'm sorry I have to
miss the reception,
but I have to get
back to the lab.
You're just afraid that
your boss is going to find out
you've been slacking off.
No, I am not.
I have him wrapped around
my little finger.
Is that right?
Mmm-hmm.
See you later. Bye.
Zoe, congratulations.
Thank you.
All right, I've got to
get back to the station.
Someone needs
to be on duty.
I'm sorry your mother
couldn't be here.
Thank you for coming.
Oh, you're coming
to the party, right?
With bells on.
No, not just bells, right?
You never know.
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Kevin.
Nice speech, sis.
All my coaching paid off.
Yeah, right.
Congrats.
Thank you.
I'm going to head over
with Wendy and Pilar,
so I'll met you there.
Right.
Bye.
Bye.
Congratulations.
Here, babe.
Thank you.
(SIGHS)
The college thing is
going to be easier, right?
No, just more expensive.
Yeah.
I know this isn't
environmentally correct,
but I really miss
my old jeep.
Well, next time
you won't ignore
the tornado crossing sign.
(RUMBLING)
Did you feel that?
Yeah. Earthquake?
No, I don't think so.
(CELL PHONES RINGING)
Jack Carter.
Allison Carter.
It's Jo.
Fargo.
What? Who's lab?
Section Five?
Okay, yeah,
I'll be right there.
All right,
we're on our way.
One day.
Is that too much to ask?
There's always tomorrow.
Yeah, I know.
Rad sensors picked up
a surge of exotic particles,
and thermal scans
are detecting something
in the containment area
that wasn't there before.
What kind of something?
We're not sure.
It's organic,
but visuals haven't
come back online.
Okay. Is anyone else
in there?
I don't know.
What? You're not sure?
Well, no.
Well, Jack,
maybe you should wait.
I can't. There could be
somebody in there.
Be careful.
It's hard to
be carefuller.
What? I know
it's not a word.
I don't like this.
What's the matter, Jo?
Scared of a little
trans-dimensional radiation?
Yeah.
Okay. You guys
take the computers.
Bishop, come with me.
Jo, take the hallway.
Jo?
Oh, my God.
He's waiting for us.
What did he say?
Well, we found a body fused
into the wall of a top secret
area of Section Five.
He was concerned.
Was that sarcasm,
Agent Carter?
Perhaps, Sheriff Carter.
Isn't this Carter-Carter thing
getting just a little old?
No, not yet.
CARTER: Hello, Dr. Deacon.
Hello. I'm sorry
I had to pull you
out of Zoe's party,
but were we able to
identify the body?
That's not going
to be so easy.
Yeah. The weird part
or weirder part is that
the lab was empty,
and then the body
was detected.
Whoever this is,
they seem to have
just appeared.
All right, you two,
let's see if we can
determine from where.
Dr. Deacon, are you okay?
Fine. Scalpel.
Bones are brittle
to the touch.
Internal chest cavity shows
massive tissue damage.
Organs are all
but disintegrated.
Let's get a tissue sample.
I'm craving red meat.
That's just wrong.
Beefjerky.
Okay, seriously,
I think I just threw up
in my mouth a little.
I'm trying to
concentrate in here.
HENRY: It doesn't look
very encouraging.
What did you find?
She's been exposed to
an intense dose of radiation.
What kind of radiation?
Exotic particles.
It's going to be
extremely difficult to find
an intact DNA sample.
These are the same particles
we picked up
when Carl Carlson
breeched the artifact
containment chamber.
Well, that's
simply impossible.
We ran every test, right?
There was no sign
of containment breech.
But there was a radiation
surge just before we found
the body.
There's only one place
these could have come from,
the artifact.
Right.
CARTER: There has to be
some way to identify the body.
In this case,
the body's far too distorted.
Without more to go on,
we'll never know who it is.
Kim.
I'm sorry?
Kim has been developing
a DNA reconstruction program.
That could work.
I doubt it.
Yeah. But it's designed
to reconstruct entire
contiguous DNA strands
based on partial samples.
But it's still in the early
experimental stages.
Yeah, but if she can
put the pieces together,
then we can
rebuild our John Doe
on a cellular level.
What? I learn things.
Let's go talk to her.
I learn things.
ALLISON: We need you
to identify the body
found in Section Five.
Well, what happened?
That's what we need
to figure out.
It's a long sh*t,
so if you think
it's impossible...
Anything is possible.
I'll just have to modify
the existing software.
Great.
Look, why don't you guys
go back to Zoe's party?
If we get something,
we'll call you.
Okay. Great.
ALLISON:
Why do you say
things like that?
CARTER: What?
Well, it's just...
I was being polite.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Just concerned
about all this stuff.
Well, don't worry.
I'm sure I can figure
something out.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
One Newton Appletini
and a virgin Margaret Mead
'cause you're on duty.
Mead?
Water, yeast, honey?
Seriously, I don't know
why I bother.
CARTER: Yeah,
good to see you, too.
(EXCLAIMS)
Unbelievable.
Well, I don't work for
the Consortium anymore,
so if you want me,
you'll have to do
better than that.
(RUMBLING)
(CAR CRASHING)
Wait here.
Oh, no.
Hey, are you okay?
I don't know what happened.
It came out of nowhere.
Literally, one second
it wasn't there,
then poof!
It just appeared.
Okay, okay.
Just sit tight
for one second.
Carter?
Yeah.
Wasn't this crushed
by a runaway tornado?
About six months ago.
The security sticker
is three years old.
Don't be there.
Don't be...
What? What is it?
No way.
CARTER:
Why am I getting déjà vu?
FARGO: It's a lot of
the same equipment we used
to test the aftermath
our last temporal anomaly.
ALLISON:
Temporal anomaly.
We haven't completed
our analysis yet,
but it looks like
a fundamental quantum
instability.
Oh, you mean like back
what happened with
Walter Perkins' time machine?
(LOUDLY) Tachyon...
(SOFTLY)
Accelerator, Sheriff.
Well, tomato, tomahto,
that was years ago.
You really think that's
what's happening now?
HENRY: No.
Walter's machine has
been locked up in a vault
for four years.
CARTER: Couldn't he have
built another one?
Walter's under house arrest.
Even if he could get his
hands on the right equipment,
he's not reckless enough to
do something like this again,
especially,
given his condition.
Well, maybe he didn't do it,
but he might know what it is.
Either way,
it's worth a chat.
Waste of time.
Call me if you come up
with something better.
(g*n f*ring ON TV)
Can I get you something?
Coffee, tea, Red Bull?
No. Thanks, Walter,
this isn't a social call.
Didn't your mother
ever teach you
it's rude to stare?
Sorry.
It's a little disconcerting.
I'm the only 40-year-old
teenager in town.
Don't tell me
about disconcerting.
Look, Walter,
there's been some
strange activity in town...
You think it's the result
of a temporal anomaly.
Yeah.
Which you think I have
something to do with?
Well, I hate to
disappoint you, Sheriff,
but it wasn't me.
I'm under house arrest.
The temporal stabilizer
keeps me from
getting any younger,
but one foot outside
that front door
and it's set to shut off.
I don't want to
end up in diapers.
Do you have any side projects
you're working on that maybe
I should know about?
My last side project cost me
my marriage and my family.
Susan was pretty
understanding
about the whole
cloning her thing,
but no woman wants to be
married to a 16-year-old.
Well, it's a tad creepy,
not to mention illegal.
Besides, part of my sentence
is no technology above
a class two rating.
Hell, I had to file
for special dispensation
just to get that Xbox.
It's only a 360.
Well, who besides you
in town could be causing
something like this?
Well, I suppose
anyone who knows
their quantum physics
and has access
to my accelerator.
How much longer?
I have to get going.
Why? Got a hot date?
I date.
Okay.
I do.
I believe you.
No, I don't.
I know.
I'm almost done here
if you want to take off.
Any luck?
Not in love.
What?
(LAUGHS) Don't ask.
I finished the body scan.
It's reconstructing
the DNA now.
Huh.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
Something's off.
This looks distorted to me.
I think it looks pretty good.
It's just going to
take a little time.
Maybe, but just try adjusting
the base pair algorithms.
Henry, I'm sure that's
going to slow us down.
Please. Trust me.
I do.
Okay.
I don't know
what I would do
without you.
Given young Walter's
situation,
I don't think he could
possibly have started this.
I'm finalizing your list
of everyone with quantum
physics background
and Section Five clearance.
Well, hopefully
that will narrow down
our list of suspects.
It narrowed it down
all right.
How many?
Take a look.
Oh, man.
Kim's made some progress,
not very encouraging.
Oh, hey,
how did it go with Walter?
He didn't do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah, positive.
But I made a list
of all the people
who had access
and the ability to cause
something like this.
And how many are on it?
After eliminating Walter, two,
and one of them
is Nathan Stark.
Well, he's been gone
for four years.
Who's the other one?
Kim? What?
I have something
to show you.
Well, this has to be
a mistake.
I mean, maybe the sample
was contaminated?
I've checked.
It's no mistake.
What we are looking
at is definitely...
You.
Then again, you knew that,
didn't you, Henry?
Henry?
He was the other name
on the list.
Henry, what did you do?
So the body we found
fused to the wall,
that body right there,
that's you?
That's me.
Which means you d*ed
four years ago.
Apparently.
But you're here right now.
It doesn't make any sense.
It does if Henry changed
the outcome of the accident
using Walter's machine.
Henry?
I lost her the first time
to Jason.
But we got a second chance.
I couldn't let you go.
They...
They couldn't
identify your body,
so they brought me in
to see if I could...
It took days.
So you used Walter's
tachyonic accelerator
to change history?
That's insane.
You lobbied for Stark's job
to gain access...
It was the only way.
Nathan was never going
to let me try this.
He knew the risks.
Well, what risks?
Creating a paradox,
an alternate timeline
with a different outcome.
What we're witnessing
is two intersecting
realities colliding,
competing for the same
space-time continuum.
One where you d*ed.
One where I lived.
But if that's true,
we're living in
the wrong time line.
Yes.
None of what we've known
for the past four years
was supposed to happen.
No, but this is life now.
Our life.
Do you really want me
to change it?
Henry, you got to fix this.
If you don't,
things could get worse.
Or they could equalize.
Is that a chance you're
really willing to take?
I already did.
Josefina, it's the most
natural thing in the world.
You just got to relax
and be open to it.
Trust me.
I do trust you,
but the whole idea
just freaks me out.
(PHONE RINGING)
Lupo.
You saw what?
Where?
(RUMBLING)
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
What the hell was that?
It's just the beginning.
You found it where?
Fused into the wall
of the artifact chamber.
And you're sure
it's Kim Deacon.
Yes.
Can we talk about
my mom now?
I'm afraid we're out of time.
When I snap my fingers,
you will awake
feeling refreshed,
and will remember nothing
about what we discussed
here today.
One, two, three.
Which is why
it's not even possible
for me to be hypnotized.
Well, Fargo, we'll just have
to keep working on it.
Any injuries?
Okay, good.
We're working on it.
I'll call you later.
Remember that tornado
that took out my jeep?
Yeah.
It just popped up
on Main Street
and took out
half the block.
Okay, Henry has to stop this.
I know, but he won't.
But there is one person
who might.
I'll make the call.
Okay. Thanks.
MARLA: (ON INTERCOM)
Dr. Stark?
Yes, Marla.
Allison Carter is on the line.
She says it's urgent.
Oh, should be interesting.
Allison, what a surprise.
Are you okay?
I really don't
want him here.
Neither do I,
but I also don't want
the universe to unravel.
No,
I mean it.
I don't want him
to try to fix it.
I know it's selfish,
but I love our life.
I love this baby.
I know.
Me, too.
Well, well, well,
if it isn't the Carters,
and the little Carter-to-be.
Pregnancy suits you.
Yeah, it does.
Hello, Sheriff.
You ready to save the world?
You ready?
No.
So, let me get this straight.
I got fired for cutting
corners on the artifact,
but Henry gets to play with
the space-time continuum?
We didn't know what he was
doing until after he did it.
You realize that was
a rhetorical question?
I do now, yeah.
So what are
we dealing with here?
A mess.
Time is supposed
to be fixed.
A straight line.
Start here, you end here,
experiencing everything
in logical order.
Henry went back
and changed history,
thereby creating a paradox.
A completely separate
and different timeline.
We know that much.
What do we do about it?
Not do. Undo.
We need to stop Henry
from saving Kim,
thereby erasing
this timeline completely.
Okay, how do we do that?
Someone's got to go back.
Someone?
Okay.
Me.
Glad we got that straight.
Nathan,
thanks for doing this.
Everyone deserves
a second chance.
JO: You were right.
This is really nice.
I'm glad
you changed your mind.
I can't believe it took me
four years to get you naked.
Outdoors, anyway.
What convinced you?
I just knew it was time.
You found me.
Well, it's
a big glass office.
It wasn't hard.
You heard about
what happened downtown?
I thought I could fix this.
I can't.
You had to know
this could happen.
You weren't
going to tell me.
I'd hoped I'd never have to.
You know now
there's only one way
to make things right.
I barely survived losing you
the first time.
I can't... I can't...
I can't do that again.
This isn't just about you
or me.
I can't.
You have to.
Well?
Working on it.
Work faster.
Would you like to try,
Sheriff?
(SIGHS)
All of the algorithms
are correct.
I do not know
what is wrong.
Maybe you're
missing something.
I'm not missing anything.
Yes, you are. This.
What's that?
Nathan.
The fragment I took
from the artifact
four years ago.
You know something
I don't, Henry?
It's trans-dimensional.
It exists completely outside
our space-time continuum.
So none of the rules apply.
Right.
Okay, and now for those of us
who aren't astro-physicists.
If the Big Bang
was a plane crash,
the artifact is
the black box.
It's the last remnant of
whatever universe existed
before our own.
Technology light years
beyond our own,
but billions of years old.
At the moment,
physical time travel
is impossible,
but the transfer
of consciousness from
one temporal plane
to another
isn't.
So you sent your mind
back in time.
More or less, yes.
And now we have
to do it again?
No, you have to do it again.
And, Nathan, I'm going to
leave this in your hands.
Oh, can't say
I'm loving that plan.
Where are you going, Henry?
To say goodbye.
Maybe Henry's right,
and maybe things
will equalize
and things can stay
the way they are.
Henry knows things can't
stay the way they are.
Aren't you even
a little afraid to lose me,
to lose us?
Listen to me.
There's no time,
no space,
no way that we don't
end up together.
You just have to
have a little faith.
Even knowing
what I know now,
I would do it again.
I know you would.
We're running out of time,
Carter.
(MACHINE HUMMING)
SARAH:
Good morning, Sheriff Carter.
Good morning, SARAH.
I'm detecting an odd tone
in your voice.
Is everything all right?
What day is it?
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006.
Zoe.
Don't freak out. Okay?
I swear, I was up
studying at Pilar's house
and I fell asleep and...
Okay, now I'm kind
of freaking out.
No, I'm just glad
you're home safely.
So you're not gonna
ground me until I'm 30?
No, not today.
Cool.
Zoe?
Look, I'm not sure how
this is going to play out,
or even if I'm gonna
remember it,
but I want you to know
that I will always
be there for you.
Okay.
Is everything okay?
It will be.
Good morning, Nathan.
Good morning, Beverly.
Do you have
something for me?
I sure do.
I finished
the psych evaluations
on the Global employees.
Dr. Stark?
They're waiting for you
in Section Five.
The big test?
Excuse me.
Allison.
Hey, Carter. What's up?
Just looking for Henry.
I haven't seen him.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey!
You look great.
Thanks.
All rover computer links
are up and running.
Let's mark the time and date.
9:27 a.m.
October 3rd, 2006.
Let's take it
for a test drive.
Jack!
What are you doing here?
I'm stopping you, Henry.
We are at
marginal proximity now.
Let's proceed.
Igniting photon drill.
CARTER: You can't do this.
Get out of the way.
Henry!
(GRUNTING)
If you do this,
the world will unravel.
I can't let her go!
I know!
Moment of truth.
(GRUNTING)
That's why I'm here.
Jack, I have to save her.
You can't.
It changes everything.
What's happening in there?
I don't know.
Systems are offline.
Get them back online!
I'm trying!
Jack, get the hell
out of the way!
(GRUNTING)
I can't let you do this.
If you don't, Kim dies.
If I do, we all die!
Oh, my God.
(HENRY YELLING)
No! No!
(SOBBING)
I'm sorry.
No! No!
No!
MAN:
What kind of accident?
A breech of the artifact.
A core sample was taken
and Kim Anderson was k*lled.
Do you have the sample?
Not yet,
but the biodegradable
micro-transmitter
I planted on Stark
worked perfectly.
Security scans never
detected a thing,
and now we know
what we're dealing with.
The Consortium
will be very pleased.
Do you have a plan
for obtaining the sample?
I always have a plan.
That's why I'm here.
You're here because
we want you here.
Do not forget
who you work for.
ALLISON: Hey.
Hey.
You doing okay?
Yeah, yeah.
(STUTTERS)
I'm better than Henry.
Yeah.
I just hope that he can
forgive me.
Look, it was an accident,
Carter.
There was nothing
you could have done.
Yeah, I keep
telling myself that.
Look, I know
it's hard to believe now,
but things will get better.
You just have to have
a little faith.
Allison,
there's...
What?
Nothing.
Come on.
I'll let you buy me
a cup of coffee.
It's free.
Oh, well, in that case,
I'll buy.
You know,
I think this is definitely
becoming our thing.
We don't have a thing.
We might.
