02x03 - Unpredictable

[bunniefuu]

ZOE: Previously on Eureka.

I want to continue
Kim's research.

So you think you can put
this tragedy behind you.

HENRY: Never.

BEVERLY: According to
Nathan Stark, the artifact
appears to be dead.

Energy of that magnitude
doesn't just die.

It had to go somewhere.

How about this Saturday night,
you, me, ribs, root beer
and ESPN Classic?

They're showing
the Lakers game we went to
around your ninth birthday.

It was my sixth.

Yeah.

Actually, I was thinking
more like Red Bull and
pizza at Pilar's house.

Oh.

'Cause it's your birthday,
so I figured it could be great
to do something together.

Just the two of us.

Yeah.

That's nice, but, you know,
I'm turning 16, not 60.

Which still qualifies you
as a minor. Wearing that
doesn't qualify as a shirt.

So, put on a jacket.

We're in the middle
of a heat wave.

SARAH: Today's forecast
calls for heat, frost,
rain, hail,

gale force winds
and severe lightning.

I'll have Fargo
give her a checkup.

(SIGHING)

You know, I just...
I want to do
something normal,

like a party
with my friends.

Hmm.

I think I liked it better
when you were six.

Hey, Pilar.

Whoa! What are
you doing?

Dad!

Hey, Sheriff.

Bye, Sheriff.

Oh, Pilar, just so you know,
Zoe already has
plans for her birthday.

Oh. Bummer.

Yeah. Bummer.

Okay, enough mortification.

Have a great day.

I'll remember this when
you're getting arrested
on Dateline.

Nice. No, we're plan...
The surprise party.

Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.

Hey, Kevin, what is
November 3, 1957?

Tuesday.

Oh, I'm pretty sure
it was a Thursday.

Nope. Tuesday.

Whatever.
I'm still going to
look it up.

(LAUGHS)

Have a good day, sweetie.
Good luck.

He's in
a great mood.

Yeah. He's been
different recently,

like he's opening up.

That's great. It's...

Isn't it?

Yeah. Of course.

(MUMBLING)

Yeah, yeah.

So, are you
going to come to
Zoe's surprise party?

Oh, me?
I thought you were
into young brunettes.

No. No.
I'm into old...

Didn't come out
right, did it?

No. No. Look, well,
we got a DJ, and you
really haven't lived

until you've seen me
dance to Hips Don't Lie.

Well, you're on,
old man.

You want to get
a cup of coffee?

I have a meeting.

But you can ask me again.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Oh.

You better...
Yeah.

(SIGHING)

Morning!

Hey, it's been
six months.

Six months since what?

Six months
since you said
we would discuss

my promotion
in six months.

Jo, there's no
official position
between yours and mine.

Great.
I'll take yours.

No. Today
you're not going
to bother me.

Today is a great day
for Jack Carter.

Zoe has no idea about
her surprise party,

and I have a rain check
for a coffee date.

You said, you'd make
a call to DC for
special consideration.

But you're not very good
at doing things that you
don't really want to do.

I'll tell you what,
because everything's
going so well for me

and because I'm such
an amazing guy, I will
make the call right now.

(THUNDER CLAPPING)

Oh.

Hello?

Oh.

Maybe it's a sign.
I think the gods
are angry with you.

And what makes you
think that they're
not angry at you?

Oh, because
I'm an amazing guy.

ABBY: Jack?

Abby?

What are you doing here?

Well, that's a nice way
to welcome your ex-wife.

You could have
given me a heads up.

It's her 16th birthday.
You could have
given me an invitation.

(CARTER LAUGHING)

Thank you, Sheriff Lupo.

It's Deputy.
Deputy.

Until your husband
chooses to promote me.

Ex. And I said
I'd make the call.

Jack doesn't like doing things
Jack doesn't want to do.

(PHONE RINGING)
Tell me about it.
Phones are back.

JO: Lupo.

You look good, Jack.

Does she know
you're coming?

"You look
good, too, Abby."

Come on.

You do. It's just...

You hate surprises.

Yeah, well, especially
when I don't know
they're coming.

Yeah, well, look, Jack,
we had an agreement
and it's been a year.

I just assumed
we'd talk about it again.

Okay, fine.
Let's talk.

Deputy?

Rub it in.
There's been an
accident at the spa.

Oh.

Eureka has a spa?

Yeah. It's a
fission-powered hot spring.
And it's members only.

There's been
a malfunction.

Can you check it out?

Abby and I are going
to go for a coffee.

Thanks.

Nothing would make
me happier, sir.

TWINS 1: Hey, Sheriff!

Hey, guys.

TWINS 2: Morning, Sheriff.
Morning.

Well, did you...
Did you see them?

Just like clones.

Very similar.

And why is it only
raining over there?

Pacific Northwest.

Look, Zoe loves it here.

I mean,
she couldn't be happier.
She's really thriving.

And I think
it's the best thing
we could have done for her.

Are you sure that
that's her perception
and not yours?

Oh, don't do that.
What?

The shrink thing you do
where you make,

you know, you sound like
you're the better parent.

It's called insecurity
and it stems from
the person listening,

not the person
speaking.
What...

And remind me again
why I used to think it was
fun to fight with you?

Because you like
a challenge.
Uh-huh.

With these unstable
pressure systems,

I predict a whopper
of a storm is coming
our way.

I'm Pete Puhlman
for Storm Watch.

So, I thought
I'd stay a week and
we'd have the party

and we'd still have
a couple of days
before Zoe and I go...

My special double-yolk
quail-egg omelet
with Estonian caviar

and basil grafted
from an Italian monastery.

Thanks, Vince.

Oh, my God,
is that truffle oil?

Yes! Finally,
a refined palette.

The last time
I served it to him,
he asked for ketchup.

On the house.
Oh...

Except for the muffin.

Abby, let's talk.

Look at those two. Wow.

Oh, now,
I just feel sick.

Hey, what a surprise!

I hate surprises.
Meeting, huh?

(CHUCKLING)
Brunettes, huh?

I was just telling Jack
what a striking couple
you are.

Well, thank you.
Oh, thank you.
And you are...

Oh, Jack's
evil ex-wife,
Dr. Abby Carter.

Oh.

Dr. Allison Blake.

Dr. Nathan Stark.

Wow. All these doctors.
Your worst
nightmare, Jack.

He used to hate it
when I dragged him around
to my alumni functions.

He called it
"death by dull."

He is very clever.

(ABBY LAUGHING)

So, will you be staying
at the house?

No.
Yes.

(STUTTERING)
We're setting her up
at Beverly's.

Well, then I guess
I'll see you
at Zoe's party.

I hear there'll
be dancing.

Jack and I won
a Macarena contest
in Cabo once.

Do you remember
that, Jack?

I can't wait
for the party.

You may think you've put
the past behind you,

but these things take time.

The heart doesn't
heal overnight.

Nor should it.

That's why it's important
to find constructive ways
to work through the pain.

Which is precisely
why I want to continue
Kim's research.

Is that the only reason?

Does it matter?

When you're asking to work
at the most advanced research
facility on the planet,

I'm afraid
it does matter.

And does everybody
at G.D. Fall under
this level of scrutiny?

Of course.
Including Kim.

Were you seeing Kim?

On and off.

More during the months
leading up to her...

To the accident.

Huh.

But she never talked
about her research?

Up to a point.
My security level doesn't
cover Section Five projects,

but she told me
what she could.

So you never
visited her lab?

No.

Right.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Oh. Sorry.

Go ahead. We're done.
Same time tomorrow?

Absolutely. Yeah?

(SIGHING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

Hot, yeah?

Yeah, so I've noticed.

It's crazy.
I come to turn on
the nuclear bubbles,

and look what I see.

What is...
What is this?

My first big case.

ABBY: So is Zoe
excited at all?

Yeah. Yeah, sure,
I guess.

You guess.

Abby, we should talk.

Oh, God, Jack.

Well, I never thought
it was settled.

You didn't tell her.
I assumed we were
gonna talk about it.

We had an agreement...
That was before.

Before what?

(STAMMERING)
Before probably the
greatest year of my life.

And when were
you planning on
sharing this with me?

I don't know.
The next time you called.

I didn't plan on
you just showing up.

Oh, God, Jack,
you've had a year.
I mean, this is just like you.

ABBY: This is
so unfair. And it's...

It's snowing.

What is it
with this place?

(CELL PHONE RINGS)
I... Hold on.

Yeah, Jo, it's not
a good time right now.
It's

snowing.

What?

Did you call Henry?

Okay. I'll be there
as soon as I get
Abby settled. Thanks.

Abby is not settling
this time, Jack.

JO: We didn't close down
the entire spa.

No reason to cause
a panic.

I've got sciatica,
and no one's ever told
me about this place?

It's on G.D. Property,
Carter.

You guys don't
belong here.
Employees only.

We're here on
official business.

The grotto closure.
Yeah. Inconvenient.

At least Alma's still
giving shiatsu.

You have shiatsu?

(GROANING)

JO: Carter, up this way.

Is that embroidered?

Membership has
its privileges.

You mean those brainiacs
use a nuclear reactor
to heat their whirlpools?

Not the reactor,
just the by-product of
the core cooling system.

Oh.

This is
a by-product of
a cooling system?

Flash freezing?
Not likely.

Well, we better get an ID.

Okay. Which piece
do we start with?

Still think these
nuclear hot tubs
are safe?

You know, temperatures
would have had
to have dropped to

minus 460 degrees
Fahrenheit like that.

Yeah, but you see what
happens when they change
the natural order of things?

I mean, everything's under
control and then somebody
throws a wrench

in something that's working
perfectly fine for
their own selfish reasons,

and then your life
is shattered and
she's blaming you.

What?

Are we still talking
about the reactor?

Yeah.
What?

Okay. So how are we
going to get an ID now?

We just look for a finger.

Finger.

How about a thumb?

You sure that's a thumb?

Well, only if
it has a print.

"Baxter, Neil.
G.D. Employee
number 18-56-27."

It's a thumb.

ALLISON: I can't
explain the death.

Scientifically, the reactor
just doesn't make sense.

I mean, if the hot springs
had boiled, I'd say, you know,
maybe there was a leak.

Well, Henry mentioned
something about
the cooling system.

Which doesn't go
below 20 degrees,
skiing weather.

Okay. So like
the snow at Beverly's?

I don't know, Carter.
Why don't you look into it?

Unless you're too busy
with personal matters.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Did I miss something?

I just want to
get this figured out
as quickly as possible.

Oh, my God,
you're jealous.

Of?

What do you think?

Oh, please.

Come on.
You have nothing
to worry about.

I'm not worried.
You know what?

Let's just stay
focused on work,

so we can avoid
these awkward moments.

These awkward moments
are the only social life
I have left.

(SIGHING)

Check this out.
This was Baxter,
the frozen guy's lab.

I've been filling in
sometimes.

Baxter was conducting
a real-time field study
on the mating habits

of a tribe in Tanzania.
You see those two?

That's Danny and Sandy.
They've been together
since they were teenagers.

How about the jumpy one?

Tom. He's been like that
since he hooked up with Katie.

Exactly how much
time have you spent
down here, Fargo?

Baxter put up
a live webcast every day
to poll viewer reaction

to the relationship dynamics.

Better than The Bachelor.

Was he working
with anyone else?

I wouldn't call it working.

He was known to do
a lot of field testing
with the female lab techs,

if you know what I mean.

Gave new meaning
to the term
"wild monkey."

Please stop that.
Okay.

CARTER: Total mystery to me.
I'm scared, Henry.

In three days,
Zoe turns 16.

And any man who says
he understands women is
either naive or a liar.

(SIGHS)

Well, apparently Baxter did.
He was the Casanova
of Section Three.

I've questioned six women
who thought he was
God's gift to their gender,

even when there
wasn't enough of him
to go around.

Well, there
certainly is now.

Yeah.
What did Allison say?

She doesn't think
it was the reactor.

Yeah, she's right.

The cooling system
could not possibly create
a temperature that low

to freeze tissue that fast,

unless we were into
China Syndrome times five.

Yeah, well, I have Jo
retracing his last day.

It's going to take me
a little time to get you
an accurate time of death.

I have to wait
for this tissue to thaw.

Yeah. Or we could
just read his watch.

I got 12:26.
Twenty-six.

You know, if we were
that smart about women...

Yeah. Oh, no,
what time is it?

Zoe.
Mmm-hmm.

Yeah.
Got it!

So, what's the one
next to Mercury?

Gold. Every girl's
favorite element.

Zoe?

That's my mom.

You didn't tell me.

I wanted to surprise you.

Yeah, I hate surprises.

You're just like your dad.

We've got so much
to talk about. Come on.

(ZOE SNIFFLING)

(PHONE BEEPING)

Hey, sweetie,
I thought I'd swing by
and pick you up...

She promised...

No, it's terrific.
Yeah, I mean,
yeah, surprise!

Just don't talk to her
till I get there.
All right. Bye.

(SIREN BLARING)

(SIGHS)

Okay. I give up.
So, where do you live?

In there.

Both of you?

It's underground.

Oh, well, that makes
so much more sense...

(SIREN BLARING)

ABBY: Hi, Jack.

ZOE: Hi, Dad.

Hi. What are you doing?
I asked you to wait.

Has she spoken
to you?

What?
You told her?

ABBY: No, Jack, I didn't.
This is so like you!

You just tear in and you do
whatever's good for you.

But you know what?
I'm gonna look
like the bad guy,

just because you want
to come here
to take away my kid!

What are you talking about?

You didn't tell her.

No. But you just did.

Can somebody just treat me
like a person and tell me
what's going on?

Your mom and I had
an agreement when
you came to live here.

What kind of agreement?

I just wanted us to be
a family, just you and me,
you know?

With no time limit.

But there was a time limit.

There was a year, and then
you were supposed to
come back to LA with me,

and you were
supposed to tell her.
Don't blame this on me.

Okay, that's enough.
This isn't about
either of you, okay?

You've already ruined
your own lives.
Just leave mine alone.

Zoe.
Zoe.

(WINDS HOWLING)

What is happening?

Get inside.

SARAH, door.

(COUGHING)

What the hell was that?

SARAH: That would be a severe
dust storm precipitated by
unstable pressure systems.

What the hell was that?

That was the house.

Abby, house.
House, Abby.

SARAH: This is that Abby?

Your house talks to you?

Yeah. Listen, Zoe, we...
I'm going to my room.

Sweetie, wait.
Wait, wait, we have
to talk about this.

Just give her some space.

Oh, so now
you're the expert?

Yeah, I am.

She's a different kid,
and I'm a different parent
than I was a year ago.

And I know I was awful,
but you got to cut me
some slack

while I figure out
why we almost ended up
in Kansas.

Look, hey, SARAH, you said
that we were in for some
freaky weather today.

How'd you know that?

SARAH: I receive weather
updates every quarter hour
from the Eureka Channel.

...earlier today
thanks to the Cumulator...

From the weather guy?

SARAH: Mr. Puhlman
prefers meteorologist.

He's a little
sensitive about it.

Okay. I got to talk to him.

No, no, you have
to talk to me
and our daughter.

I know and I will. I just
have to deal with this first.

And no, I can't go into it.

Sure. Go to work.
Your favorite hiding place.

(CARTER SIGHING)

CARTER: Hey, Jo,
it's Carter, look...

SARAH: You're much shorter
than I pictured, Abby.

CARTER: Yeah.

A volatile storm system is
taking us to level yellow.

So everyone is strongly
encouraged to stay indoors.

The Cumulator 2100 is
predicting high winds,

sporadic downpours,
and more frost
on Socrates Avenue,

so keep it tuned to
Storm Watch because we're
in for one wild ride, folks.

I'm Pete Puhlman.

WOMAN:
Thank you, Pete.

NEWSCASTER:
So to recap our headlines...

Sorry about that.
Emergency updates
all day long.

Yeah.
How can I
help you, Sheriff?

I don't know.

I'm hoping you can tell me
what the hell is going on
with the weather.

Yeah. No problem.
Okay.

Let's see here.

Cumulator 2100.

It's the most sophisticated
meteorological predictor
in the industrialized world.

Oh, if I had a nickel for
every time I'd heard that.

Continue.

PETE: They all began with
a severe temperature drop last
night over the hot springs,

which precipitated
a chain reaction of
unstable pressure systems.

The rain downtown,
the snow on the north side,
the dust storm, all...

Yeah. All caused
by the initial drop
in pressure. Now, watch.

PETE: The pressure drop
began here,

and by the time
it hit the hot springs,
insta-freeze.

So the freaky weather
didn't cause the freeze,

the freeze caused
the freaky weather.

Exactly.

Okay. So the question
is, what's there?

Hey, Allison.
Beverly.

This is
crazy weather, huh?

I know.
I appreciate you coming.

I'm always happy
to come to the office
for a session.

Actually, I didn't
call you here for me.
It's Henry.

I need him cleared
to work at G.D.

Oh.

Well, our sessions
are going well.

I think maybe in
another few weeks.

I'm afraid
I can't wait that long.

Henry's in a fragile
state of mind, Allison.
He's not ready.

I'd like to help you out,
but I have to put him first.

I'm afraid
in good conscience
I can't sign off on this.

All right. Then
I'll do it myself.

Fargo.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

It's me.

Henry Deacon is being
cleared to return to Global.

I know. I'm coming in
for a debriefing.
We need to strategize.

Jo? I sent you
a picture of a map.
JO: Got it.

Need you to check out
what's there.
Did it.

I think it's
a pretty good lead.
Good lead. I know.

So if you'll let me do
my job for a change.
Emphasis on change.

Jo, I have enough women
who are mad at me today.

I found a cabin.

What? Where?

Right smack dab in the
middle, and it's owned
by Dr. Steven Whiticus,

and you'll never guess who
was the last person to call
Baxter the night he d*ed.

Steven Whiticus.

JO: Well, no,
his wife Wendy.

Baxter was field-testing
the wife?

Maybe the husband
found out, and, you know,
crime of passion.

(DOOR OPENING)
Okay, I'll check out
the cabin.

You check out the doctor.

She's gone, Jack.
She ran away.

What?

It's just like before.

All right, did she take
anything with her?

No, she just...
She left the house
by herself.

Well, she does that
all the time.

I mean, she's not gone,
Abby. She's 16.

Yeah, but how do
you know for sure?

Because I do.
I know her.

She wouldn't run away.
Not like that. Not anymore.

Oh, so I'm the only parent
that she runs away from.
Is that what you're saying?

I'm not saying that.
What I am saying is that
things have changed.

You haven't changed, Jack.
You've always put
your work before us.

That's why she
started running away
to begin with.

Okay.

Let's go.

What?

Look, I have to work,
so if you want to talk,
you have to come with me.

See? Change.

Yeah. I'll call you
from Whiticus' cabin.

She's still not answering.

(SIGHS)
That's because
she's still pissed.

And whose fault is that?

Oh, well, mine obviously.

Because everything bad that
happens would be my fault.

Oh, well, I wouldn't say
everything bad.

She'll call
when she's ready.

Yeah.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

That's her.
Good.

Hey, sweetie.
Thanks for calling.
We really...

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.
I was wrong. I...

What did she say?

She's fine.

She never wants to talk
to either one of us again,
but she's fine.

She's spending the night
at a friend of hers, Pilar's.

Nice girl, actually.
Good influence.
I think you'd like her.

Wait here.
I'm going to go
take a look around.

(ABBY SCREAMS)

Welcome to Eureka.

JO: So you were the
last person to see Neil Baxter
alive last night?

Relationships
are so complicated.

I mean,

I love my husband.

He's a brilliant man.

It's just that

Neil gave me something
I haven't had for so long.

Passion can be
so powerful.

Okay, so you two were
together last night?

At the cabin
until about midnight.

And then I drove home.

And Neil went
to the hot springs.

He always liked
to soak after...

STEVEN: Wendy,
come take a look at this!

(SNIFFLES)

Mrs. Whiticus,
I'm going to have to ask
your husband some questions.

Darling, look,

a typhoon.

(SIGHS)

(ABBY CHUCKLES)
So, that was crazy, huh?

The storm.
Mmm.

Yeah.

So, you want to
talk about it?

It's been such a hard year,
Jack, you know.

All by myself.

And I've been thinking
about so many things,
you know,

like how we got to
this place after 15 years.

I miss Zoe so much.

And I hate to admit it,
but I missed you, too.

Are you even listening
to what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
just give me a sec.

Unbelievable.

What the hell?

Yeah. Does this look
like a crazy weather
machine to you?

Oh, like I would know.

Good point. Hold on.

(PHONE RINGING)

JO: Lupo.
Hey, Jo, it's me.

I'm out at Whiticus' cabin.
I think I found something.

Yeah. I've been trying to
get a hold of you. I found
something in his basement.

He's created mini climates,
using some kind of
microwave technology.

Any chance it looks like
a big, scary satellite dish?

Yeah. Based on
the schematics.
Yeah.

And if what I'm seeing
down here is any indication

of what you're going
to see out there,

it's going to be
a bumpy night.

All right, well,
keep him there.
I'm on my way over.

Look, Abby...

I know.

Can we talk about it
another time?

No need.
Just... Just take me home.

I think I've seen enough.
I think I have to take you
in for questioning.

STEVEN AND WENDY: What?
Dr. Whiticus,

you're under arrest
for the m*rder of Neil Baxter.

I don't understand.

Please!
You're making a mistake.
He can't leave the house.

So you found out
Baxter and your wife
were having an affair,

and you froze him
with a giant microwave...

Okay, stop!
He couldn't have
k*lled anyone.

He's practically blind.

His eyes are too sensitive
to leave the house
even at night.

We have special lights,
filters on all the windows.

Could have had
an accomplice.

Why would I want to k*ll
the man who finally brought
happiness to my wife?

Hey! Look who
made it for pizza.

There's not going
to be any pizza.
Uh-oh.

Come on, sweetie.
Can you wait for
Mommy in the car?

What's going on, Allie?

Nathan, I'm gonna
ask you a question,

and I swear
if you lie to me...

I'm listening.

I know about KB-201.

I really wanted
to tell you...
Tell me what?

That you only brought
my son here to study him?
That you put his life at risk?

The only reason we study him
is to make sure
his life isn't at risk.

What are you
talking about?

Kevin has a connection
to the artifact.

He draws pictures,
he makes models,

he knows
exact geometric details.

We've been trying
to understand why.

He has been different
ever since that accident
in Section Five.

He was down there,
and you didn't tell me.

Allie, I would never
put him in harm's way.
You have to know that.

I don't know anything
anymore, Nathan.

(ALLISON GASPING)

Get in the car!

Where did this come from?

Make it stop.

It's okay, baby.

Make it stop!
Make it stop!

It's okay, baby.
It's going to pass...

(ALLISON YELPS)

Make it stop!

Please tell me
what's happening.

I don't know yet.

You knew
about the affair?

Well, my eyes may
not work very well,

but it doesn't mean
I'm totally blind.

I always knew I wasn't
enough for Wendy
even before the accident.

The glasses help you see?

Infrared Wi-Fi signal
lets them augment

the little bit
of retinal usage
that I retain.

The array thing
we found at the cabin,

could that have
caused the frost?

Well, I designed it
to refreeze the
melting polar ice caps

to bring rain to
drought-plagued nations,

but there were
calibration problems that
I was working to fix.

That's what led
to my accident.

I decided to stop the project
because it was too dangerous.

And I didn't want it
to harm anyone else.

Would Wendy?

What possible reason
would she have
to want to hurt anyone?

CARTER: She was at
the cabin that night.

And she wasn't Baxter's
only experiment.

You know, jealousy
is a very powerful...

You said the device
went off at 12:26.
Yeah.

But I called her the minute
I heard the frost predicted
on the news.

She was home by midnight.

What, the 11:00 news
with Pete what's-his-name?

The weatherman.
Meteorologist.

He's pretty touchy about it.

Yeah. Peter's
always been very touchy.

He was part of
the dish installation team.

He's always craved
the limelight.

Still, if he hadn't have
predicted the ice storm,
I guess...

Yeah, then maybe
it wouldn't have happened.
Jo, can you watch him?

Hey, Allison, it's Carter.
Meet me at the TV station.

Hey, Pete, it's getting
pretty nasty out there.

You have any
good news for us?

Well, it's a category-four
ice storm

which will reach full strength
in the next few hours.

That must be
a weatherman's dream.

My job is to serve the
community, which you should
be evacuating, Sheriff,

because this will
be a direct hit.

It's amazing how accurately
you've predicted each hit.

I know.
My Cumulator technology
is very precise.

Yeah. When you predicted
that ice storm at 11:18,

we were in the middle
of a heat wave.

Who would have thought
an hour later you could be ice
skating on the hot springs?

Apparently
not Neil Baxter.

Yeah. His death was tragic.

If he'd only seen
my forecast,

maybe it could have
been prevented.

Or maybe it could have
been prevented,
if somebody hadn't turned on

the weather dish death machine
while he was soaking
in the grotto.

Are you referring to
Dr. Whiticus'
climate dish array?

You think that's
what caused all this?

Pretty sure.

I warned him.

I warned him that
it was reckless
to continue his research.

Honestly, that thing
should be destroyed.

That would be
a relief to you, huh?

Why would I...

Well, if Whiticus could
control the weather,

then there's not much need
for a weatherman, is there?

I had nothing...
You started the storms,
so you could be a hero,

and Whiticus' research
could be shut down
once and for all.

But you can't prove that.

Actually, I can.
We found footprints
by the dish.

Odd thing, though,
there was no tread.

Now, who would wear
dress shoes to tramp around
in the woods after midnight?

CARTER: Huh, Pete?

Now, why don't you save us
the trouble of matching
our prints to your shoes

and help us
stop this thing.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

No, I never...

(STAMMERING) I never
meant to hurt anyone.

I mean, I didn't even know
that Wendy and Baxter
were out there.

I'm not a k*ller, Sheriff.
I'm just...

I'm so tired of no one
taking me seriously
as a scientist in this town.

I mean, it works.
My technology
is the vanguard.

Well, it won't matter
if the storm
wipes out the town.

And we only have
a few hours to save it.

(ALARM BEEPING)

Yeah. Make that one hour.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

STEVEN: It's been building
since last night.

It is an incredibly
dangerous confluence
of meteorological events.

Perfect storm.
CARTER: Thank you.

A spinning cyclone
of instability high up
in the cryosphere.

Ice funnel of death.

Gotcha. Why don't
you people just say
ice funnel of death?

How is this happening
so far from the ocean?

Lake Archimedes.
Because of all the
volatility in the area,

it's providing enough cold
moisture for the storm to
brew, and it's happening fast.

This is tomorrow.

And there's
no way to stop it?

Well, warm tropical
currents could counteract
an event like this,

but we're nowhere
near an El Nino.

All right, we might have
to evacuate the town.

No. There's no time.
We might end up with
a bunch more frozen Baxters.

Look, all we need
is warm water, right?

If your dish thingy could
freeze the hot springs,
could it heat a lake?

Theoretically it could,
but it doesn't have
the range.

Presumably, it's attached
to a mainframe somewhere
in the cabin.

Yeah. It's attached
underneath the house.
It heats the house.

It's an
environmentally
conscious design.

Well, that's it. The lake
is the water source for
the hot springs, right?

Linked to the reactor
by an underground aquifer.

So you crank up
the juice at G.D.

And we build some steam.

CARTER: I'm going
to need a coat.

(SIREN BLARING)

Hey, how's it looking
on your end?

ALLISON: We're at
850 degrees Celsius.
Are you there yet?

Yeah, but not for long.

STEVEN: Inside the main
control panel of the dish
array is an override switch.

You need to manually aim
the dish directly at the lake

to get it to
flash boil the water.

STEVEN: If it evaporates
too slowly, we only
strengthen the hurricane.

So, no pressure.

The timing
is critical. You need
to activate the dish

when we reach
1,000 degrees Celsius
to hit the flash-boil point.

I found the override!
Where do I aim it?

You need to dial it
60 degrees to the northeast.

ALLISON: We're at 975 degrees.

Got it!

(GRUNTING)

(YELLING)

Almost there. Ready?

Hang on!

We're at 1,000 degrees.
You have to do it now!

I'm trying!

(GRUNTING)

How hard is it
to push a button?

You want to do it?

Carter!

(WATER BUBBLING)

We did it.
Carter, are you okay?

(PANTING)

ALLISON: Carter?
Say something.

I want a raise.

Like, they think this
is a solution, bouncing
me back and forth.

Well, who would you choose?
I mean, if you had to.

Your mom or your dad?

Well, if they loved me,
they wouldn't make me,
but...

Right now, I'm just
so mad at my dad
for lying to me.

Well, you know,
sometimes people have
good reasons for lying.

There is no good reason
for lying.

ALL: Surprise!

(ALL APPLAUDING)

I hate surprises.

(SLOW DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Any job offers?

A few.

I heard 17.

It would be crass to count.

Just so you know,
I traced the e-mail
on KB-201.

I know you sent it.

I just wanted
what was best
for Kevin.

Give me one second.

Henry, I've arranged
for everything to be
unsealed tomorrow.

Kim's Section Five records,
all of her data.

Oh, thanks.
It means a lot to me.

Me, too.
Thank you.

CARTER: Has she said
anything to you?

ABBY: Not a word.

(SCOFFING)
I knew it.

It really is a nice party.

Yeah. I'm glad
she's having fun.

NATHAN: Mr. And Mrs. Macarena.

Oh, I really hate him.

So, what do we do now?

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

Well, then Zoe and I
will go back to LA and...

And when you do,
you'll know
where to find us.
