03x12 - It's Not Easy Being Green

[bunniefuu]

FARGO: Previously on Eureka.

Sheriff Jack Carter,
Tess Fontana.

Tess and I
are old friends.

You're the new head
of Section Five?

Hi.

LEXI: Look, Duncan,
how well do we really
know each other?

You know, our hopes,
our dreams,

our reactions to surprises?

I think I'm gonna have
to think about this.

You and Henry are
working on something.

It's the signal, isn't it?

I think you're gonna
need all the help
that you can get.

Henry, what are you saying?

I'm saying that there's
something out there,

and it's heading
straight for us.

Straight for Eureka.

What's all this?

Oh, we're making
a baby book
for the boys.

Oh.

Smile, Uncle Jack.

Thanks for that.
SARAH, print.

SARAH: I'd be happy
to maintain
a virtual album

with holographic
growth charts
and captured sound.

(BABY CRYING)

Uh, that's okay, SARAH.
Some things are better
the old-fashioned way.

So, any word
from Duncan?

Dad.
What? No,
it's okay, Zoe.

Now, he's probably
halfway across the world,

curing disease
where he belongs,

which is why I didn't
tell him I was pregnant
to begin with.

I'm sorry, Aunt Lex,
I really didn't mean
to pressure you.

I just thought
you guys would
work it out.

No, Zoe,
it's not your fault.

Life is...

It's messy sometimes.

Is it?
Here we go.

So, everything's my fault?

No, not everything.

Look, Jack,
even when we were kids,
you never took my side.

Lex, cut the guy some slack.

I mean, you lied
to him for months,
then you took off.

He didn't have
the chance to do
the right thing.

Yes. Life is messy.

But this isn't
how you clean it up.

He doesn't want this. I do.

So I'm moving on.

I got to get dressed.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay.

(SIGHS)

Moving on.

Uh, so what's
this all about?

Just waiting for
the aliens to land.

Seriously?

Mmm-hmm. Actually,
it's our turn to host,

'cause we went
there last year.

Um... There being?

Area 51,
Eureka's arch rivals.

Our annual bowling match
goes back nearly 50 years.

Bowling, that sounds
pretty intense.

You have no idea.

So, Area 51,
that's UFO guys, right?

Wrong. They got
the alien rep after
a surveillance balloon

crashed in 1947,
never lived it down.

Which is why
we love to rub it in.

Totally throws off
their game.

(LAUGHS)

BISMARK: Well, well, well.

Hello, Fargo.

Hello, Bismark.

(SNIFFING)

Mmm, what is that odor?

Ah, the smell of fear.

The only thing scary
about you is your breath.

Ready to lose
for the fifth year running?

Did you bring
your little green men
to help you?

Oh, I'll show you
little green men.

Easy, ladies. Let's try
to keep the competition
friendly, okay?

Well, it's hardly
a competition, Sheriff.

Your little team here
doesn't stand a chance.

You haven't met
our secret w*apon.

Hey, Big Ed,
come out and say hi.

(BLOWS RASPBERRY)

Big Ed Fowler,
the former PBA champion?

He also happens
to be a very
gifted biochemist.

Bowling's more of a hobby.

Well, there's no way.
This is a complete
violation of the rules.

You can't just
bring in a ringer
from the outside.

Rules state
anybody employed
here can play.

Read 'em and weep.

Still time to beam back
to the mother ship.

Bring it, Fargo.

Oh, it's been brung,
Bismark.
Nice English.

Yeah, nice face.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)

All right, stop.

All right, I got to go,
but both of you, behave.

(GRUNTING)

(JOINTS CRACKING)

(EXHALES)

Hey, Al.

Finally. What, did you
come by pack mule?

Nice to see you, too, Tess.

Sorry, but
time-sensitive issue.

We need your help
collecting all the
Globidium in Eureka.

Uh... All the what?

Globidium, it's
a nuclear element,

artificially created
here at Global.

It's much safer
than plutonium,

with 10 times
the energy output.

Mmm. Then why the recall?

Globidium's been field-tested
in town for years,

but we need to get it back
for a new project.

Not everyone is complying.

And we were hoping
that you could
persuade them

using your inimitable
Andy Griffith charm.

You know what?
You have the
unique ability

to make a compliment
sound insulting.

Who said that was
a compliment?

Okay, stop.
I really need
your help, Carter.

Well, in the meantime,
it's artificial.
Can't you make some more?

Yeah, we could,
if we had six months,
but we don't.

We need to move quickly.

Oh. This has
something to do with
the signal from space.

You told him?

(LAUGHS) No,
but you just did.

Yeah, you think
you're clever.

Uh, yes, I am.

So, when are
the little green men
coming to Eureka?

I'm sorry.
I can't share the details.

But you and I shared
an alternate universe.

Does that not mean
anything to you?

Just get to
that list, Sheriff.

All right.
Okay?

Wait, I'm on this list!

The Smart House reactor
runs on Globidium,
so we'll need yours, too.

Is that a problem?

Uh, no. No. Um...

SARAH might have
an issue with it.

HENRY: Well, you don't
have to worry about SARAH.

I mean, she can be adapted
to alternate fuel sources.

CARTER: Yeah, well,
she doesn't like change,
and neither do I.

I noticed.

Meaning?

Tess Fontana.
I mean, she gets
under your skin.

Yeah, just a bit.

Uh, don't look now,
but I think our
first customer

is trying to make
a fast getaway.

Seth!

HENRY: Clean
Globidium mobile.

I'll return
the power cell tomorrow.

I got a hot date
tonight, okay?

She loves the car.

Well, she's just got
to love you for you.
Pop the hood, Henry.

Come on, Sheriff.
I just had this
cleaned professionally,

inside and out.
You could eat
off that engine.

Uh, it's not here.
The reactor is empty.

All right, Seth,
give it back.

Whoa, I'm the victim here.

Really? Then why
were you trying
to get away?

In a car with
no power cell?

How dumb do
you think I am?

Well...
Hey!

MAN: Yeah!

(CLEARING THROAT)

(EXHALING)

What the hell?

FARGO: Strike one!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Hey, you know the rules.

You mess with
your own balls
all you want,

but you can't
mess with ours.

(EXCLAIMS) Somebody
can't take a joke.

Fargo, I have
one word for you.

Is it "surrender"?

No.

It's "truce."

We're above this pettiness,

so I'm gonna be
the bigger man here

and propose that
we focus on the game.

No more pranks.

Deal?

Deal.

May the best team win.

As long as they're human.

(CHUCKLING)
Good one.

BISMARK: Good game.

(WHISPERING)
We're really
calling a truce?

No way. I just
want to keep them
off their guard.

That way they'll
never know what
hit them. Huh?

(CHUCKLING) Oh!

Uh...

Oh, what the frak?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Osborne says that
his car was in the
driveway all night,

so anyone could
have taken the
power cell from there.

Yes, but Globidium
is a unique power source,

and without it
our project won't
be ready in time.

Oh, what project is that,
exactly?

The point is,
we need to find it.

Okay. Do we need
to be worried
about health risks?

Well, compared to elements
like plutonium, no,

but if it should
be taken out of
the container,

then we'd be looking
at moderate levels of
(DEVICE CRACKLING)

Radioactivity.

Now, that's odd.

I mean, it's picking up
a radioactive source
from somewhere.

Sheriff Carter,
we demand action.

I think they've taken
the little green men
thing a bit far.

Uh, this is no joke.
They're radioactive.

Those guys are crazy.
They're trying to k*ll us.

Oh, you're gonna
be fine.

They're gonna be fine,
aren't they?

Yeah, they're
gonna be fine.

I mean,
you have elevated levels

of gamma radiation that
mutated the pigmentation
of your skin

(LAUGHS) but it's
the equivalent of a sunburn.

So, we're not gonna
turn into the Hulk?

Only if you get
really, really angry.

No. No, no, no,
don't worry, no.

It'll be out
of your system
in a few days.

Then we need to
get back to practice.

No, no, we need
to get even.
Fargo smash!

(GRUNTING)
No, Fargo will
not smash.

All right? There will
be no getting even.
Understand?

It's actually a pretty color.

Yeah, if you're a Muppet.

So, what could
have caused this?

Could it be a
missing power cell,
courtesy of Area 51?

On its own, no,

but if it was
altered somehow,
it's possible.

Well, I've worked
with these guys before.

They're dorks,
but they're harmless.

Well, we still need
to collect the remaining
power cells.

All right.
You want to go with Jo,
I'll check out Bismark?

Let's go.

Don't be afraid
to use deadly force.

(DOORBELL RINGS)
SARAH: There's a
visitor at the door.

Ooh, maybe it's
the baby's crib.
SARAH, you can open the door.

Duncan?

Hello, Lex.

SARAH: This is the Duncan?

Uh, yeah, this is him.

What is that?

Oh, it's my house.
It's possessed.

SARAH: Possessed of
a singular artificial
intelligence.

SARAH, please.

I thought you left town.

No, I prefer to deal
with my problems.

Hey, we're nobody's problems.

Don't turn this
around on me, okay?

You were the one
who took off without
saying a word.

Well, you're the one
who freaked out
when I told you.

That's 'cause of the way
you sprang it on me.

I mean, kapow!
Looky here, twins,
right out of thin air.

All right, you're right,
so maybe I panicked a little.

A little?

What? So, are you
telling me that you would
have reacted differently

had I told
you in Cape Town?

Yeah.

Maybe. The point is,
I had a right to know.

(SIGHS)

You're right.

You did.

So, what do you
want to do now?

What do you want to do?

I want us to be honest
with each other.

I mean, come on.
We had six crazy,
passionate months together,

but this wasn't
in the cards.

Life looks different
to me now.

I'd give up anything
for these kids,

but I don't expect you to.

Isn't that my choice?

No.

Go back to your life,
Duncan.

Please?

That's what you really want?

Yes.

SARAH: You heard the lady.

(SIGHS)

Yeah!
There you go.

Just picture Fargo's
fat face on the pins,
works every time.

Bismark.

Oh, hello, Sheriff.
How's Fargo?

Green with envy,
or just plain green?

What did you do,
and how'd you do it?

Camoscope, the future
of camouflage.

It emits gamma rays
into the skin,

starting a chain reaction
that alters the pigmentation.

Any chance you powered
it with a stolen bit
of... (STAMMERING)

It's a nuclear
power cell thingy.

We don't steal, we win.

Still, you're taking
the prank thing a little far,
don't you think?

As far as turning
a beloved mascot invisible,

or planting a
bioengineered laxative
in a rival's talcum powder?

Why would you do that?

You guys did that,
last year in Area 51.

Oh.

Look, if you really
want to find your nuclear
power cell thingy, Sheriff,

you might want
to talk to your
own team members,

'cause they're the ones
that take things too far.

For you.

You're Lexi's niece,
right?

Yeah. Zoe.

You know,
your aunt can be
unbelievably stubborn.

Yeah, and overprotective.
It runs in the family.

What's with the
Green Man Group?

Oh. My boyfriend's team
got punked by their rivals.

It's probably
gamma radiation.

I saw something similar
near a reactor in Siberia.

The green's a nice touch.

Do you know how to fix it?

Well, lucky for you,
a good epidemiologist
always travels prepared.

Vinspresso ice cream, anyone?

Vincent, we don't
need ice cream,
we need payback!

Oh, my! What are you,
green and deaf?
I said no payback.

Of course, Sheriff.
We'll take the high road.

It's a good idea.

Stop sucking up, Lucas.

Are you guys planning
any pranks involving
a nuclear power cell?

We've dabbled in a little
combustion expl*sives,
but nothing nuclear.

(WHISPERING) Lucas,
what part of "secret"
don't you understand?

Hey. You almost done
with Tess' list?

Uh, yeah, and Seth Osborne's
not the only one missing
a power cell.

We have three more thefts.

Of course we do.

Can I offer you two
some ice cream
before it all melts?

Uh, no, thank you.

What's the problem?

My freezer d*ed
right after Area 51
showed up.

Coincidence?
I think not.

Well, don't be too sure.

Is Café Diem on the list?

Uh...

Yeah. The freezer
runs off Globidium.
Globidium.

And it was working
when Big Ed cleaned it
this morning.

Now, Seth Osborne
said that he had his
car cleaned as well.

Would Big Ed happen
to work in the
auto-detailing business?

Well, sure. Big Ed
can clean anything.
I mean, that's his job.

He's the cleaner.

That's it,
all the Globidium cells
we've managed to collect.

Well, the laser telescope
is gonna need
a lot more power

if we're gonna get
a good look at that,
whatever it is.

Is that what's
sending the signal?

Yeah, it's the
best image we can get.

The new telescope
will give us a much
higher resolution,

but our atmospheric window
closes in 24 hours.

Well, Carter will find
the stolen power cells.
Just give him some time.

Okay.

Is there anything, you know,
going on between you two?

What? Oh, God. No!
I'm pregnant.

Well, you know,
some guys are into that.
More of you to love.

(LAUGHS) Okay, stop.
We're friends.

Just... Just friends.

If you say so.

Okay. Thanks,
Principal Wallace.

We'll let you know
when we find it.

Let me guess.
She had Big Ed
clean something.

A Globidium-powered barbecue
that's now missing
a power cell.

Wow, looks like
the cleaner's dirty.

Yeah, well, maybe
we'll get lucky
and he'll confess.

It's just down here.

Big Ed?

Hello?

I guess he stepped out.

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Or took off.

(EXHALES) The missing
power cells.

Should we be
worried about, you know,
radiation exposure?

Well, I gotta...

I got to say yes.

(GASPS)

JO: (EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)
Is that Big Ed?

Not anymore.

No radiation.
It's all good.

Well, tell that to Big Ed.

So, he just melted?

Like a green popsicle
on a sunny day.

Jo.

Well, at least
you found the
missing Globidium.

Well, Globidium couldn't
do this on its own.

Could it react
to the stuff that
turned him green?

Well, if the combo
generated the right
amount of radiation,

it could mutate human cells.

We need to talk
to Henry.

All right.

Theoretically,
it's possible.

Uh, except
for one problem.

These containers,
they're empty.

What happened
to the Globidium?

I don't know. I mean,
there's not a single
photon in any of them.

As a matter of fact,

there's a total
absence of radiation
in Big Ed's remains.

Well, that's disturbing.

Well, he is a big
puddle of goo.

No, no, Carter,
I mean, on average

we're all exposed to
0.2 rem of radiation
each year,

which means, to some degree,
we're all radioactive.

Oh, that's comforting.

No, it's normal
and generally safe,

though neither of
those words seem
to apply around here.

Yeah, you get used to that.

Henry, if Big Ed
was turned green
by radiation,

shouldn't his levels
be even higher?

One would expect,

but it's like something
drained it out of him.

Well, what about
the rest of the team?

They've all been tested.
Everyone's fine.

Let's get them back
and check their
radiation levels,

just to be on
the safe side.
Okay.

You threatened my team
and liquefied
our secret w*apon!

This is blasphemy!
Okay? Madness!

This is Eureka!

Break it up.
What happened?

Look, I have no idea, okay?
But we didn't do it.

You did turn them green.

I told you.
We fully tested
the camoscope.

The effects are
completely superficial.

All right. Well, did you do
anything else to Big Ed,

any pranks, any other...

When? We've been here
practicing all day.

Ask anyone.
They'll tell you.

Well, you've probably
been using

alien mind control
on everybody here.

Bite me, Kermit.

CARTER: Guys!

A man's dead. Okay?
Now, I need help.
You got it?

Got it.
Got it.

Great. Fargo,
you knew Big Ed.

Any reason that
he'd want to stockpile

a whole bunch
of Globibinum?

Globidium.

Don't push me.

I don't know. Um...

He usually kept to himself.

I know he liked to clean,
and I think he had a pet.

Okay. Bismark,
you want to keep Area 51 here
until further notice.

Fargo, get your guys
to G.D. Just in case.

You mean, like,
in case we melt?

Well, as long as
you guys are green,

I'd like someone to
keep an eye on you.

Yeah, I'll watch them.
Come on.
Thanks.

And, remember,
no more pranks. Okay?

(BEEPING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)
MAN: Think you're cool now?

WOMAN: How do you like that?

Last one, I swear.

What's in that stuff?
It reeks.

(GROANS) Tell me about it.

It's an organic
mineral mask

made of herbs,
sea salt and
fruit extractions

from around the world.

It should leech the toxins
out of the skin.

I feel like a girl.

Would you rather
stay green?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

I'll be right back.

Smoothie?
Sure.

VINCENT: Hey, can we
get Lexi's special?

Aunt Lex, what's up?

Oh, I just came
to get a smoothie
before yoga, with Allison.

What's Duncan
doing here?

He's taking pity
on my green boyfriend.
I hope that's okay.

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

Because
I'm fraternizing
with the enemy

for my own
selfish purposes.

No, Duncan isn't the enemy.

Besides, he's really good
at what he does.

I should probably
go meet Allison.

Here you go.
Thank you.

Oh, and a decaf
Vinspresso ice cream.

It's for Allison.
She's craving it.

Thanks.
VINCENT: Yeah.

Bye, Zo.

Okay.

Let's see what we got.

Well?

(SIGHS) Yay.

Duncan, you're a genius.

Can we fix
the rest of me now?

It's not just you.
How much of this stuff
can we make?

So, why would a cleaner
want to steal Globidium?

Big Ed wasn't just a cleaner.
He was the cleaner.

Clean rooms,
contamination control,
waste management.

They're all essential
to the research that
we do here at Global.

I heard a single
dust mite once got
into LEP at CERN,

set them back six months.

Okay. So, if dirty is bad,

then would Ed have stolen
the cells to power, like,

a nuclear vacuum?

(SNICKERS)
I'm... It...

What Tess means is
that we have moved
well beyond that.

Big Ed specialized
in bio-mediation
and using microorganisms

to restore
a contaminated environment
back to its natural state.

So, kind of like soap?

(SNICKERS)

What?

(STAMMERS)

Each organism
was created

to clean a particular
metal or chemical,

which makes it
perfect for cleaning up
industrial waste,

oil spills and the like.

Well, Big Ed's remains
were cleaned of radiation.

Could he have had
an organism that did that?

All right, everyone,

you need to apply
the treatment
wherever you're green,

so take off your clothes.

Get naked here?

You heard him.
You with me,
boys with Duncan.

Relax, Doug,
nudity is perfectly
natural, all right?

I've lived in places
in Africa

where it's the custom
to go au naturel.

Only for you.
I prefer privacy.

Here it is.
"Big Ed bioengineered
a prototype

"for a microorganism that
ingests gamma radiation
for nuclear waste cleanups."

He even gave it
a nickname, Spot.

As in remover,
I'm guessing.

Yeah, well,
Fargo said that
Big Ed had a pet.

Yeah, but all
I see here are
cleaning supplies.

Yeah, and when
I went by his house,

he didn't have
any food dishes
or litter boxes,

but could this
pet project be his pet?

Well, if it is,
pets need to be fed.

Want to guess what Spot's
favorite food is?

Globidium. No wonder
he's so far over budget.

He used my power cells
as pet food?

Yeah, well,
I mean, with you
collecting it all,

it was either that
or let it starve.

And if he ran out,
Spot might be after other
sources of gamma radiation.

Like a green Big Ed.

Okay, where is
this thing now?

Looking for
its next meal.

In here?

Well, it's not like
it just could
open up a door.

No.

But there's
another way out.

(GAGS)

Man, this stuff stinks.

(WHISTLING)

(EXCLAIMING)

What is in this stuff?

Get off me!

(EXCLAIMING)

Fargo! Go! Go! Go!

FARGO: What was that?

I may never
shower again.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(WOMAN GASPS)

I'd rather go naked
than wear fur.

Okie-dokie.

ALLISON: Yes, General.

I understand
your concern
about the signal.

Hey, you ready?

Yeah, one sec.

Yes, sir.
I will schedule a call.

Okay.

(SIGHS)
Hey, partner,

I got you a
little present
from Vincent.

It's ice cream.
It's a little melted.

Mmm. I am so sorry.
I am going to have
to cancel yoga today.

I have a situation
that I have to deal with.

Okay. Um...

I guess I'll just
see you next time.

Hey, Lexi.

Come on.

(LAUGHS)

You okay?

Yes. No. I...

Duncan's in town.

Yes, I know. I met him.

He's helping un-green
our bowling team.

Yeah, he's good that way.

He's good most ways,
actually.

Mmm.
Too good.

(CHUCKLING) You make that
sound like a bad thing.

Oh, no, I just...
I don't want him to change
because of me.

Or them.

Oh. Well, I'm not
gonna lie to you.

Children definitely
change things,
but mostly for the better.

You ever have
any regrets?

Oh, about having them? No.

I mean, it's hard
running this place
and being a parent,

but is it worth it?
Absolutely.

My only regret is
that Nathan isn't here
to share it with me.

All right, I closed
the valves in the
main line into town,

so that should
keep it contained
in the building.

But if it went
down the drain,

what's to stop it
from coming back up?

Well, I think
I scared it, actually.

I mean, when I came in,
it jumped off Fargo
in a hurry.

Now, trust me, you're
not that intimidating.

And single-celled
microorganisms
don't get scared.

Well, it wasn't
so micro, actually,
and it was green.

I mean, that can't be
a coincidence.

Well, it might have
reacted with the
gamma radiation

in Big Ed and mutated,

but you know what?
I'm not detecting
any radiation signature.

Well, that makes
it tough to track.

Well, maybe,
instead of going after it

we bring it to us.

With what?

Bait.

Lexi.

Duncan.

Hey, I heard
what you did
for the team.

Always helping people
wherever you go.

Listen, can we talk?

I don't think
there's anything
left to say.

Lexi, why are you
pushing me away?

Because there are
plenty of people out
there for you to save.

I'm not one of them.

I never thought you were.
If anything, you saved me.

I'm sorry.
I'm late for class. Bye.

We can't afford to lose
any more Globidium.

Well, what we can't
afford to lose
is researchers.

Oh, thanks,
way to make me
look selfish.

What we need is a
sample large enough
to lure Spot out

before he finds
another food source.

And when he comes
out to eat...
We capture him.

Done and done.

Famous last words.

What? Do you have
a better idea?

You're pretty
sure of yourself,
aren't you?

Well, yeah,
I mean, part of my
Andy Griffith charm.

Oh, my God.

What happened
to all my Globidium?

God. I'm gonna
go out on a limb
and say that.

I think Spot's
found another
food source.

Come on.

Back!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(PANTING)

We're gonna need
a bigger container.

We've got to contain it
to Section Five.

Well, the entire level
is locked down.

Well, that won't help
if it's traveling
through the pipes.

Well, at least
it's trapped
in the building.

No, for the moment,
but you saw what
it did to that door.

It could pop up anywhere.

The bigger it gets,
the more gamma
radiation it needs.

We need to secure
any potential sources.

I'll start to evacuate.

Judging by its size,
it'll eat just about anything.

Did you just look at me
when you said that?

No!

(STAMMERING) No, no!
I was... Ice cream!

I was looking
at the ice cream.

Ice... The cold.

When Fargo was in
the shower, he bumped
into the faucet.

I thought that I scared it,
but maybe it just doesn't
like the cold.

So, what are you proposing?

That we freeze it
in its tracks.

Hmm.

Hey! It's the
miracle worker!

Thanks so much
for taking care of Lucas.

Our prom pictures
would have sucked.

My pleasure.

Can I get a large
coffee to go?

I've got a long drive
ahead of me.

Wait. You're leaving?

Well, your aunt's
made it perfectly clear
she doesn't want me here.

So you travel halfway
across the world to see her,

and then you
just give up?

I can't make her talk to me.

Well, you can talk to her.

I've tried, Zoe.
She won't listen.

Well, try again.

Look, Carter women
are complicated

and stubborn
and slightly crazy,

but we're definitely
worth the fight.

She doesn't want me
to fight anymore, Zoe.

So, I'm going home.

Can I have my coffee,
please?

Tell her goodbye for me.

Tell her yourself.

Temperature gauge.
Mmm-hmm.

Arming mechanism.
Yeah.

And I've rigged you
a motion detector

so you can track
Spot's movement.

Thank you.

Are you sure
freezing this thing
is gonna work?

Oh, yeah. Yeah,
it worked in The Blob.

Oh, very reassuring.

Well, it's
a living organism.

The cells shouldn't be able
to stand temperatures
below 200 Kelvin.

Just be careful, Carter.

I should be able
to handle a mindless
eating machine.

You looked at me again.

Oh. No. The...
No, no, I was... The...

You're pretty.

Oh, nice save!

The Blob.

Must have been drawn
by the emissions
from the power station

at Sublevel 12.

But that emits
alpha radiation,
not gamma.

Which means any source
of radiation could be
on the menu now.

Including us.

Awesome.

I'm in.

CARTER: Now what?

All right, Jack,
watch yourself.

Well, he's not
detecting any
movement down there.

ALLISON: But the station's
alpha emissions are
at 20% and dropping.

Jack, Spot's got
to be there.

The relay station's
on your left
about 50 meters down.

Be careful.

Yeah. Thanks.

Hey, Spot?

Got a nice frozen
treat for you.

(BEEPING)

Uh, something's happening.

Movement detected,
40 meters away.

Movement is minimal,
relatively stationary.

ALLISON: Alpha emissions
now at 10%.

All right, maybe it's
still working on dinner.

It's on the move,
heading right towards him.
Thirty meters and closing.

Alpha emissions depleted.

Talk about
a dine and dash.
Twenty meters.

I don't see it.
Where is it?

Ten meters.

Jack, just look around.
I mean, he's got to be
right in front of you!

You should be
able to see it.

Or not.

(GRUNTING)

(SPOT GROANING)

Jack, what's happening?
You okay?

Jack, come on,
say something!

ALLISON: What's going on?
Carter?

Yeah, how do you
like me now, huh?

(CARTER PANTING)

Wait a second.
It's moving away.
Ten meters, 15 meters...

Jack, what's happening?

I think I made it mad.

It's back in the pipes.

Yeah, but I'm guessing
not for long.

So much for your
Hollywood ending.

Tess.

So I was wrong
about the cold thing,

but Spot jumped off Fargo
for a reason.

Well, maybe,
it didn't like
the way he tasted.

Hmm.

That's not bad.

I have my moments.

Okay.

So, what?
Duncan's beauty cream?

I mean, Fargo had it
all over him.

If it neutralized
the gamma radiation
in the guys,

it might neutralize Spot.

So, what's in it?

Well, he uses a variety
of organic astringents,
antioxidants,

anhydrous desiccants.

(STAMMERING)

Desiccants, it's a
hydroscopic substance

that induces dryness
in its environment.

Like salt!
Yeah.

Or salty things!

Yeah.

Your brain is really
an enigma.

No, but could we use
that to fight Spot?

I mean, salt can k*ll slugs.

By dehydration.
So, if Spot's physiology
is similar,

then Duncan's compound
would have the same effect.

Great. We get like
a truckload of it

and just flush it
down the drain
and k*ll it.

Well, I don't know.
Freezing it only affected
the outer shell.

Well, then we need
a better delivery system,

something that'll blast
the compound inside-out.

I think I got some guys
who can help us.

Bringing me behind
enemy lines, Deputy?

You must really like me.

Or I'm just
trying to k*ll you.
Which is it?

Hey, you're not
green anymore.

But you're still stupid.
Go figure.

Stop! You guys
made this mess.
You can help us fix it.

What do you want?

Your camoscope,
hand it over.

No can do, Sheriff.
You don't have
clearance at Area 51.

But I do.

Tess Fontana?

What are you doing
slumming with these losers?

Slumming?
Who do you think
you're fooling, Toby?

You applied to
transfer here three times.

Oh, busted!

Yeah, guys, we don't
have time for this.
Hand it over.

TESS: Come on.

(SIGHS)

Here you go.

You got
Duncan's formula?
Yeah.

Time to put everybody's
toys together. Let's go.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

You first.
Oh, no, after you.

No.
Go!

Thanks.
Yeah, I love messing
with those guys.

(RUMBLING)
Oh!

What's going on?

That was Spot breaking
through the shutoff valves
on the main pipeline.

It's gotten out
of the building.

All right, we're gonna
have to figure out
where it's going.

Well, there are radiation
sources all over town,
including the people.

Yeah, but Globidium's
still its favorite
flavor, right?

Yeah, but everybody's
turned it in.

Well, not everybody.

Who's left?

Me.

Zoe, it's me.
Are you at the house?

Mmm. I'm at Café Diem.

Good. Is Lexi with you?
SARAH's not picking up.

No, she got takeout
and went home.

Something wrong?

Yeah. I don't think
she'll be dining alone.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

SARAH, can you
get the door?

SARAH?

LEXI: SARAH?
SARAH, what's going on?

Lexi? You make me crazy.
You know that?

Uh, come on in.

You don't get to just
decide everything.

You're not the
supreme decider.

(SCOFFS) Supreme decider?

You may have
nothing else to say,
all right? But I do.

And I'm not leaving
until you hear it.

Okay.

I know we didn't
plan for this.

I know that kids are
gonna change things.

Maybe we won't
travel the world
for a while,

but when we do, at least
we'll see things through
the eyes of our kids.

Honestly, I can't think
of anything better.

Okay, you say that now,

but what about
in six months,
or six years?

This isn't
a temporary assignment
in Tanzania, Duncan.

This is the rest
of our lives.

That doesn't scare me.

I know I freaked out
before, okay,

but you don't have
to doubt me now.

Okay, it's not
that I doubted you.
It's just...

When I was a kid,
I always had the feeling

that my dad
would rather be
somewhere else,

and I would just hate it
if you ever felt that way.

Lexi, I love you.

I want us all
to be together.

I know the timing
isn't perfect and we're
gonna have our problems,

but whatever comes,
we'll handle it.

(BUBBLING)

You might want
to reconsider.

What the hell is that?

Whoa! You know what?
Get back. Get back!

LEXI: Jack!
DUNCAN: Get out of here!

Lexi, go.

(GRUNTS)

Go. Go.

Duncan, this is
what it wants.

Bowling?

No. This is basically
a salt center with a
gamma-radiation shell.

When it loosens, you run.

Yeah.

Does Spot want a treat?

There you go.
There you go.

Here you go. Okay.

Okay. Is it loosening?

Yeah. (GRUNTS)

Get ready.

DUNCAN: It's working!

Go!

(SPOT GROANING)

Everybody...

I'll take that as a yes.

Can I take that
as a yes?

Yes. Yes!

(LAUGHS)

We don't have to
live here, do we?

(GIGGLING)

I'm good.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

Perfect.

A 7-10 split.
That's got to hurt.

And with Area 51
in the lead,

Eureka needs the spare
in order to win.

The pressure is on.

Come on!
We can do this!

I thought you guys
would already be
on the road.

Oh, don't sound so anxious.

I'm not anxious.

I'm totally gonna
miss you, Aunt Lex.

Oh, I'm totally
gonna miss you, too.

And I'm actually gonna
miss you, as well.

And I'm actually
almost touched.

Don't worry.
We'll come back
and visit.

Oh, you better.

Hey!

Trying to watch a game here.

Fargo, wipe the
floor with them!

(WHOOPS)

(GASPS)

Eureka wins! Yeah!

(EXCLAIMING)

Well played, Fargo.

Big of you to say, Bismark.

Doesn't make us
friends, though.

I'll shake on that.

(SIGHING)

That's an amazing
sh*t, Fargo.

Thank you, Sheriff.

And thank you
for not playing
any more pranks.

I appreciate that.

Yeah, well, we won.

We didn't really need
to rub it in their faces.

Fargo!

But we really wanted to.
Got to run!

I love this town.

ALLISON: Any luck
identifying the source
of the signal?

No. We can't get
an image.

Our atmospheric
window has closed.

(SIGHS) So,
we'll have no way of
knowing what's coming

until it's practically
on top of us.

Unless we can figure out
how to decipher
the signal, no.

Listen, Tess,

General Mansfield
is concerned

that whatever is
sending this signal
may not be friendly.

He's ordered me
to prepare
a defense system.

What? Allison, you can't.

Whatever it is,
you could provoke it
or you could scare it off.

Well, I'm afraid
that's a risk that
we'll have to take.

We have to be
prepared for anything.
