Previously on Eureka...
Walter was our top quantum physicist.
Walter created some sort of tachyon accelerator,
then time, as we know it, ceases to exist.
Stark covered me a position at GD.
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 the time and date.
9:27 AM. October 3, 2006.
Let's take her for a test drive.
- Allison Blake. - Jack Carter, what's up ?
- You had my blood pressure. - It's the suit, isn't it ?
Nah. It's Nathan Stark,
he's trying to dodge jury duty by climbing scientific community.
That's sounds like Nathan.
He's down at section 5 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 anbium admissions.
Let's proceed.
Igniting photon drill.
Extreme proximity now.
Still no reaction from the artifact.
Moment of truth.
- What was that ? - I don't know.
What's happening in there ?
I don't know. Systems are off-line.
Get 'em back on-line !
I'm trying.
Oh my God.
Good morning, Jack.
Morning S.A.R.A.H.
It's 7 am.
Ten more minutes.
You said that ten minutes ago and ten minutes before that.
It's time to get up.
Today is a big day.
Every day is a big day, just...
I need ten minutes to face it.
Sounds like someone doesn't want to face the reality.
Oh, no, no.
I'm happy with my reality.
Just not ready for it to change.
Well, that'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, intramural, and I was the coach.
Shut up. Just hand me my robe.
You know, at my house,
I had a real shower, not this sonic bombardment nothingness.
I miss the feel of actual wet water.
Yeah, but your house won't spiral into depression if you move out.
True.
I heard that Jack.
Oh, my God !
What ?
You're huge !
That's nice. Very supportive.
No, I'm just... You know, for...
Might have to build a new wing on the bunker.
Do twins run in your family ?
Does male pattern baldness run in yours ?
Well-played.
Hey, hey.
Seriously...
you've never, ever looked more beautiful.
You barely saved yourself with that one.
Morning.
S.A.R.A.H., wheat grass, please.
Hey, does my hair look...
Never mind.
Dad, I really think you should cut down on your caffeine.
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 wanna be surprised.
It makes life a little more interesting.
Well, life is plenty interesting around here.
I just... I think you're in denial.
Yeah, that's what Allie said.
Great minds.
Yeah.
Yes, they are.
Hey, Zo.
You're gonna be great.
Thanks.
So are you.
Thank you to our distinguished salutatorian.
And now it gives me great pleasure
to present the valedictorian for the class of 2010.
Zoe Carter.
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 for me, 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the class of 2010 !
So how'd 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 gonna find out you've been slacking off.
No, I am not. I have him wrapped around my little finger.
Is that right ?
See ya later. Bye.
- Zoe, congratulations. - Thank you.
All right, I've gotta get back to the station. Someone needs to be on duty.
I'm sorry your mother couldn't be here.
Thank you for coming.
- You're coming to the party, right ? - With bells on.
Not just bells, right ?
Never know.
(Hey, Kevin.) ???
Nice speech, sis.
All my coaching paid off.
Yeah, right.
- Congrats. - Thank you.
I'm gonna head over with Wendy and Pilar.
- So I'll meet you there. - All right.
- Bye. - Bye.
Congratulations. Here, babe.
Thank you.
The college thing is gonna be easier, right ?
No, just more expensive.
Yeah.
I know this isn't environmentally correct, but...
I really miss my old jeep.
Oh, well, next time you won't ignore the "Tornado Crossing" sign.
- You feel that ? - Yeah. Earthquake ?
No, I don't think so.
- Jack Carter. - Allison Carter.
- It's Jo. - Fargo.
- Who's lab ? - Section five ?
- Okay, yeah. Be right there. - All right, we're on our way.
- One day. Is that too much to ask ? - There's always tomorrow.
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 kinda something ? - We're not sure. It's organic,
but the visuals haven't come back on-line.
- Okay. Is anyone else in there ? - I don't know.
- 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 carefuler.
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. Spencer, 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 a wall
of a top secret area of Section Five.
He was concerned.
Is that sarcasm, Agent Carter ?
Perhaps, Sheriff Carter.
Isn't this Carter/Carter thing getting just a little old ?
No. Not yet.
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 gonna 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 seemed 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.
Interior 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.
Beef jerky.
Okay, seriously. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
We try to concentrate in here.
- It doesn't look very encouraging. - What'd 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.
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.
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.
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 shot.
- 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.
- Why do you say things like that ? - What ?
- What's wrong ? - Nothing. Just...
- concerned about all this stuff. - Well, don't worry.
I'm sure I can figure something out.
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.
Yeah, good to see you too.
Unbelievable.
Well, I don't work for the Consortium anymore. So if you want me,
you'll have to do better than that.
Wait here.
No.
Hey, 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... 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.
Why am I getting deja vu ?
It's a lot of the same equipment we used to test
the aftermath of our last temporal anomaly.
Temporal anomaly ?
We havn't completed our analysis yet,
but it looks like a fundamental quantum instability.
You mean, like, back what happened with Walter Perkins' time machine ?
A tachyon accelera...
Accelerator, Sheriff.
Tomato, tomah-to. That was years ago.
You really think that's what's happening now ?
No.
Walter's machine's been locked up in the vault for four years.
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 check.
Waste of time.
Call me if you come up with something better.
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.
A little disconcerting.
I'm the only 40 year-old teenager in town.
Don't tell me about disconcerting.
Look, Walter. There's some strange activity in town and...
You think it's a 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 wanna 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 2 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 wanna take off.
- Any luck ? - Not in love. - What ?
Don't ask.
I finished the body scan. It's reconstructing the DNA now.
What's wrong ?
I don't know. Something's... off.
This looks distorted to me.
I think it looks pretty good. It's just gonna take a little time.
Maybe, but just try adjusting the
base pair algorithms.
Henry, I'm sure that's gonna slow us down.
Please. Trust me.
- I do. - Okay.
I don't know what I would do without you.
Giving 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.
Hopefully, that'll 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.
- Hey, how'd it go with Walter ? - He didn't do it.
- 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.
This has to be a mistake. 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 died 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 time machine.
Henry ?
I lost you 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 tachyon accelerator
to change history ?
That's insane. You lobbied for Stark's job to gain access.
It was the only way.
Nathan was not gonna let me try this.
- He knew the risks. - 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 died.
And one where I lived.
But if that's true,
- we're living in the wrong timeline. - 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 gotta 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 gotta relax and be open to it.
Trust me.
I do trust you.
But the whole idea just
freaks me out.
Lupo.
You saw what ?
Where ?
What the hell was that ?
It's just the beginning.
You find 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'll wake feeling refreshed
and remember nothing about what we've discussed here today.
One, two... three !
Which is why it's not possible for me to be hypnotized.
Well, Fargo,
we'll just have to keep working on it.
Any injuries ?
Okay, good. Yeah, 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.
- Dr. Stark ? - Yes, Marla.
Allison Carter's on the line, and she says it's urgent.
Should be interesting.
Allison. What a surprise.
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,
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 little Carter to be.
Pregnancy suits you.
Yeah, it does.
Hello, Sheriff.
You ready to save 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.
Do 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 you 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 gotta go back.
Someone.
Okay.
Me.
Glad we got that straight.
Nathan, thanks for doing this.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
You were right. This feels 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 gonna tell me.
I 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 ?
All the algorithms are correct.
- I don't 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 transdimensional.
It exists completely outside our space-time continuum.
- So none of the rules apply. - That's right.
Okay, and now for those of us who aren't astrophysicists.
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.
The transfer of consciousness from one temporal plane
to another...
isn't.
So you sent your mind back in time ?
- More or less. Yes. - Now we have to do it again ?
Now you have to do it again.
Nathan, I'm gonna leave this in your hands.
I can't say I'm loving that plan.
Where are you going, Henry ?
Say goodbye.
Maybe Henry's right.
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.
Run out of time, Carter
Good morning, sheriff Carter
Morning, S.A.R.A.H.
I'm detecting an odd tone in your voice.
Is everything all right ?
What day is it ?
Tuesday, October 3, 2006.
Zoe.
Don't freak out, okay ? I swear I was up studying at Pilar's house.
And I fell asleep and... Oh.
Okay.
- Now I'm kinda freaking out. - No. I'm just...
I'm just glad you're home safely.
So you're not gonna ground me till I'm 30.
No.
Not today.
Cool.
Zoe.
Look,
I'm not sure how this is going to play out
or if I'm even 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 waiting for you in Section Five.
The big test.
Excuse me.
- Allison. - Hey, Carter. What's up ?
Just looking for Henry.
I haven't see 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 AM. October 3, 2006.
Let's take her 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.
You can't do this.
- Get outta the way ! - Henry
If you do this, the world will unravel.
- I can't let her go. - I know.
Moment of truth.
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 off-line. - Get'em back on-line !
I'm trying.
Jack, get the hell out of the way !
I can't let you do this.
- If you don't, Kim dies ! - If I do,
we all die !
- What kind of accident ? - A breech of the Artifact.
A core sample was taken, and Kim Anderson was killed.
- Do you have the sample ? - Not yet.
But the biodegradable microtransmitter
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.
Hey.
- Doing okay ? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Well... I'm better than Henry.
Yeah.
I just hope that he can...
forgive me.
It was an accident, Carter. There's nothing you could've done.
Yeah, I keep telling myself that.
Look, I know it's hard to believe now, but things'll get better.
You just have to have a little faith.
Allison...
there's, uh...
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 a thing.
We don't have a thing.
We might.
