Eureka s05e01 Episode Script

Lost

Computer, flight status.
Primary flight systems offline.
Three minutes to impact.
Impact? Where? Navigation systems offline.
Damn it.
Grace, you got to wake up now.
- You got to wake up now.
- Allison? What are you doing here? We're in an uncontrolled descent.
Wait, wait, wait, what, what? But the autopilot should engage.
Well, it didn't-- Two minutes to impact.
Get to the bridge.
This is really bad.
Zane, get the nav systems back up.
Holly, I need orbital thrusters to slow our descent, and drop the blast shields so we have a visual.
On it.
- Zane.
- I'm trying.
Primary navigation's back.
Thrusters are online, but the autopilot isn't engaging.
Then we'll go manual.
I'm on it.
I need eyes! Almost there.
Shields lifting.
Pull up! Zane.
It's gonna be close.
Gear down! Brace for impact.
Hey.
Are we there yet? Allison! What are you doing here? Something went wrong with the launch.
Jack tried to stop it, but he couldn't.
So you ended up on Titan after all.
- Yay.
- Not a consolation, Holly.
Yeah, but where on Titan? The navigation systems still aren't working.
Only one way to find out.
Entering zero pressure airlock.
Well, we're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
These atmospheric readings don't make sense.
Something's not right.
Gangway! First.
That's mature.
Douglas Fargo, first human being on Titan, baby.
Uh, yeah, maybe not.
These sensors say the air is oxygen-rich.
How's that possible? It's not.
Aliens! Run for your lives! All teams move to secure the area.
All teams move to secure the area.
Set up for R-5 containment protocols.
Have them stand by the vehicles.
- Wait for command.
- Lock down the perimeter.
Restricted access until Down, girls.
- Robo-team, stand by.
- Wait for the word.
Hey, folks.
Welcome back.
Quarantine everything.
Yes, sir.
Hello, director of Global Dynamics here.
I demand an explanation.
Guys? Hi, yes, I'm not a fan of small spaces, so could I just--hello? Security, get Henry.
I want my ground commander now! Hello? Read my lips--if you try probing me, I'm suing.
Please.
Can someone please tell me what's going on? Please! - Allison.
- Jack, thank God.
What the hell is happening? You're back.
Yeah, clearly, but Andy's going a bit overboard with the decontamination protocols.
We've only been gone a few minutes.
Yeah.
You've been gone a little longer than that.
Wh--what do you mean? How long? Four years.
What? Four years? Four years and two months.
That can't be.
I mean, for us it was nothing.
A flash.
Maybe, maybe a few hours.
We did everything we could.
Senator Wen used all the resources at her disposal, and we searched for a year before the D.
O.
D.
shut us down.
Faster-than-light technology, I mean, it could have made us experience time passage differently, but Years? Henry and I searched for longer.
But eventually, we gave up hope.
Henry hasn't been the same.
None of us have.
Where are my kids? They're fine.
Fine.
They're fine.
Kevin's in college.
- College! - College.
Yeah.
Harvard.
Early admission, top of his class.
Zoe's at med school, so she's keeping an eye on him.
Jenna? She's as smart and beautiful as her mom.
Andy gives me clearance, I can take you to go see her.
Andy is the head of GD Security? Um There have been a lot of changes since you've been gone.
Don't worry, folks.
As soon as you finish your medical exams, we'll get you right back to your families.
You gave us all quite a scare there.
Andy, where's Henry? Does he know we're back? Dr.
Deacon no longer has security clearance to enter Global Dynamics.
I don't understand.
As ground commander, the D.
O.
D.
held him responsible for the loss of the Astraeus.
He took the tragedy very hard.
I'm sorry.
Easy with that thing.
I'd like to have kids some day.
Ha.
Oh, God, help us.
Relax, Jojo.
I said some day.
Well, apparently, I haven't eaten in four years, and I'm starving.
You want to grab lunch? Catch me up on what I missed? Yeah.
Dr.
Fargo, Dr.
Martin, it's so nice to have both of you back.
Oh, thanks, Andy.
You must be anxious to see your families.
Actually neither of us have family here.
Or friends really.
Well, I'm sure that can't be true.
The point is we need to get up to speed on what we've missed.
Also I will be resuming my post as director of Global Dynamics effective immediately.
About that.
Actually the position of director has kind of been filled.
Well, then, unfill it.
I was on a leave of absence.
I have a contract.
Had a contract.
It expired years ago.
I guess you should have negotiated a longer term.
I think you'll find a lot of things have changed for the better at GD.
We do run a pretty tight ship.
Don't we, handsome? Sure do, big guy.
Gah! That's so cool.
Don't you two worry.
I'm sure the new boss will find you all something to do.
She is-- she's pretty great.
She who? Welcome back, Dr.
Fargo.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
? Is that you? In the flesh.
I wish.
Sheriff Carter's smart house is running global dynamics? I was never happy being a housewife.
Well, you were never just a housewife to me, sweetheart.
Thank you, honey.
My furniture, where did it go? That was imported.
I found furnishings unnecessary once I took over.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
, I created you to help us, - not the other way around.
- But I do help.
Global Dynamics has gone 1,468 days without a single accident.
It's a brave new world.
Hi.
Where's Jenna? She's here.
She's just a little shy.
It's a lot to take in.
So Tell me about it.
Jack, I don't know What do I say? I don't know.
But you're back.
It's good news, so we'll figure it out, right? Jenna.
Jenna.
Someone here is anxious to see you.
Allison.
This is Jenna.
Jenna This is your mom.
Hey.
I can't believe how big you've gotten.
It's very nice to meet you.
Henry? Henry! Henry? You're really here.
It's me, love.
I'm here.
I knew you were out there somewhere.
They said that you were gone, but I never gave up.
Never gave up.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm here now.
Andy told me-- Shh-shh-shh.
They're listening.
And a triple shot of an espresso latte with extra sugar.
Thanks, man.
Welcome back, Zane.
So A.
I.
computers are running GD, and people are really okay with that? No.
We don't have a choice.
Senator Wen mandated it.
Carter and I still protect the town, not that there's much to protect it from.
So robots are in charge, you're back in uniform-- any other changes I should know about? Well, there is this-- this one thing that-- Uh, do you mind? We're trying to have a private conversation here.
Let's just go inside.
No.
We're talking.
So just back off.
Return to your seat.
Or what? And this is from my art class.
It's my family portrait.
Oh, honey, it's beautiful.
Thank you.
You have ten seconds to comply.
- Oh, hell.
- What's that? - Damn.
- You can't handle me - on your own? - Okay, just take it easy.
- Three - Zane! Two, one.
What the hell? What did you do? Zane.
His pulse is weak.
Zane, Zane, can you hear me? Shock sent his heart into v-fib.
Zane! Can you hear me? We're losing him.
Zane, can you hear me? Pressure's back up.
Zane, can you hear me? Hi, buddy.
You gave us a bit of a scare.
At ease, girls.
Please take Mr.
Donovan to the infirmary.
Boy, only a few hours and already finding trouble, you scamps.
The Martha drones fired on unarmed civilians.
Miss Lupo provoked them.
Nah, it's unlikely.
The Marthas and I are networked.
Got the old incident report right here, sheriff.
Why don't you try talking to the people who actually saw what happened and not the machines? - Well, Allison-- - Human perception is inherently flawed, Dr.
Blake.
The eyewitness accounts of A.
I.
individuals are far more reliable.
Daddy, what's wrong? Oh, nothing's wrong, sweetie.
Everything's fine.
We're just sorting things out.
That's right.
Clearly Dr.
Blake is exhausted from her ordeal.
Sheriff, why don't you take her home so she can get some rest? I'm sure she would like to spend some time with her daughter.
Yeah.
What about Jo? Well, people's emotions are running high with the return of the crew.
I see no need to press charges.
for now.
- Thanks.
- What is that? Trust me, you are going to love working here.
So are you ready to meet your new team leader? Please.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, yes.
Isaac.
Holly.
You have not aged a day.
I haven't actually.
Dr.
Fargo, let me be the first to say how thrilled I am to have you back.
Oh, please, you hate me.
You wanted my job and my girl, and you lost.
I'd say this more than makes up for that.
The worm has turned.
- I'm out of here.
- Time out, folks.
- Dr.
Parrish.
- Yes.
I expect you to work collaboratively with Dr.
Fargo and Dr.
Martin.
- But-- - No buts.
- But I-- - I want you to adjust your attitude, mister.
Things aren't what they seem.
You're not safe here.
Well No one is.
And if they find this place, they'll come for us.
I don't understand.
They're watching us, but we're watching them.
- Them? - The D.
O.
D.
, senator Wen, the Andys.
They called off the search, Grace.
They made an example of me so they could take over.
But you're back now, and you can help fix this Before it's too late.
This is my house.
It's underground.
Sorry, laundry day.
I know.
I used to live here too.
Or I was about to.
So since when is the front door manual? Ah, since my smart house got dumb.
Thank you, sweetie.
You want to see my room? Yes, I would love to.
Right, and then bed.
teeth, jammies, you know the drill.
Can you read me a book tonight? There is nothing that would make me happier.
I'll be there in a second.
Wow.
Looks like someone missed you.
She's gotten so big.
She's already lost her first teeth, and Kevin He sounded like a grown man on the phone.
Finals week at Harvard? I blinked, and everything changed.
If it makes you feel any better, the terrible twos lasted till she was five.
Which was brutal.
Thank you.
For what? For taking care of my kids.
"'Who are you?' Said the caterpillar.
"This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.
"Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I-I hardly know, sir.
"'Just at present, at least I know who I was "'when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.
'" I know how she feels.
Good night, darling girl.
Wait.
This is for you.
Now we're all here.
Good night.
Hey.
Hi.
Where's Allison? - She's putting Jenna down.
- Okay.
How's Zane? He'll be okay.
I just--I can't believe that they're all back.
- Did you tell him? - I tried.
I just--I couldn't.
I couldn't tell her either.
Okay, we can't keep this a secret, Jack.
- Everyone knows.
- No.
But not tonight.
It's just too much.
Okay? Yeah.
So I'm gonna stay at a friend's.
'cause this is all just too weird.
Better get you some clothes then.
Sorry.
It was my turn to fold.
There you go.
Thanks.
We'll get through this.
- Yeah.
- Come on, I'll walk you out.
All right.
How are you feeling? Excellent.
Never better.
Glad to hear it.
Yeah, so if you could just hand me my clothes, I've got four years to catch up on.
Right after we do some final brain scans.
Andy's orders.
Yeah, I don't think that's gonna be necessary.
- Brain's feeling pretty good.
- Trust me.
You'll feel even better once we're done.
Okay, I think we're all set to go.
Morning.
I went to check on you and Jenna last night, but you guys were both fast asleep.
Oh, I guess FTL travel really takes it out of you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I made coffee.
It's not as good as S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
's, but I try.
I see a lot of things have changed since I left.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's gonna take some time to get adjusted.
I saw you and Jo last night.
I'm sorry.
You were gone for four years, Allie.
It was Jo who pulled me back.
It was Jo who helped me with the kids.
Jo helped me.
She And, um It evolved.
I guess it would make sense that it was Jo.
Are you in love with her? Yes.
Morning, sheriff.
Good morning.
Dr.
Blake, how you feeling? I've been better.
Ah.
I know this must be a very difficult adjustment for you.
We do have people to talk to.
I encourage you to use them.
By the way, has Mr.
Donovan contacted you? No.
Well, if he does, please let me know.
He's having trouble adjusting.
We just want the entire crew to transition back as easily as possible.
We don't want any more incidents.
Absolutely.
Good.
Nice talk.
We got to talk to Henry about Zane.
- Why? - I've seen that look before.
Good morning, kids.
I brought blueberry muffins, and they're still warm.
Doug's favorite.
That was very thoughtful of you, Isaac.
- Thank you.
- To a disturbing degree.
They're probably poisoned.
Not at all.
This is my apology for my attitude yesterday.
It was immature and unprofessional, and I'm really sorry, you guys.
I would really like a fresh start.
What do you say, Doug? I guess.
Great.
Well, let's dive right in then.
Come on.
Ooh.
Looks like the crown of the Orc king.
And this is just the scale model.
The big one could turn an entire Orc army into a bunch of pussycats.
This is an offshoot of my RSS, my Riot Suppression System.
You mean the happy ray that became an anger ray? Well, if a certain former director of GD hadn't rushed me, that wouldn't have happened.
No offense.
But I've been able to work all the bugs out of my ass.
Excuse me? A.
S.
S.
Adrenaline suppression system.
It's for combat situations.
It targets the neurotransmitter frequencies in the limbic area of your enemy's brain, and it turns aggression into submission.
People just do as they're told.
And it really works? That's how I got promoted to head up the unconventional weapons lab.
Hey, do you guys want to see the latest in microwave weapons technology? We can roast the innards or a field mouse from 50 miles up.
Wait, why would you want to do that? Fargo.
Come here.
Man, am I glad to see you.
Yeah, I heard about Martha.
Are you-- Are you okay? I'll live.
Something's seriously wrong here.
Yeah, tell me about it.
I have to work with stupid Parrish, and he's actually being nice to me.
No, I mean with everything.
Andy and his A.
I.
crew are way too amped up over my well-being.
They won't let me leave.
So I'm bugging out.
Where are you bugging to? To go see Jo and Carter.
If I were you, I'd do the same.
Douglas! We have a full day together, buddy.
Chop, chop.
S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
says, "we're all in this together, so let's communicate.
" Mr.
Donovan.
Mr.
Donovan.
Mr.
Donovan.
Mr.
Donovan.
That's quite enough, Mr.
Donovan.
You can all return to your posts, thank you very much.
Man, how many of you are there? Look, can't we talk about this? I think we're done talking.
Agreed.
Ready to get out of here? You have no idea.
When senator Wen put the A.
I.
s in charge of GD, there was a huge outcry, and the majority of people chose to leave.
Until they had their redaction interviews with Andy, when they had a sudden change of heart.
You think they were threatened? No, he thinks they were altered.
Dr.
Deacon? Dr.
Monroe? Anybody home? It's Andy.
Jo and Zane are on their way over - right now.
- All right.
They can't find us all together, so, the two of you, don't make a sound.
Dr.
Monroe? Anybody home? Hello.
It's Andy! Henry? Don't worry.
Just relax.
Andy, welcome.
Dr.
Deacon.
Dr.
Monroe.
I hope you are settling back in.
We are just catching up on some lost time.
Glad to hear it.
Glad to hear it.
We are looking for Mr.
Donovan.
Haven't seen him.
Well, not surprised.
You could lose an elephant in this room.
I told Henry the same thing.
And I told you, I have a system.
Of course you do.
Of course you do.
Must be a great relief to have the crew back.
Oh, you have no idea.
So I'm sure that you wouldn't do anything to jeopardize their safe transition back into Eureka, now would you? Absolutely not.
Well, I won't keep you any longer.
You two, have a special day.
Take them.
What the hell? Oh, no.
Jack! Jack! - Yeah.
- Jack? There's something on the trapdoor.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Hey.
The Andys took Henry and Grace.
You have to be kidding me.
You two? We were waiting for the right time.
Well, you failed.
Whoa, this is intense.
What the frak happened? Carter stole my girlfriend.
Seriously? No.
Well, sort-- - Zane, bigger issues! - He's right.
We have to help Henry and Grace.
- Help them what? - Not get brain-wiped.
The Andys have been fixing people who can't follow orders.
Do these people seem happy to an almost creepy degree? Yeah.
Big time.
We may know what they're using.
Isaac's A.
S.
S.
That seems unlikely.
His Adrenaline Suppression System.
It alters brain frequencies to make people follow orders.
I think Parrish just got a hefty dose of it himself.
Maybe we can give them a taste of their own medicine.
How? The A.
S.
S.
alters brain frequencies, - so-- - So we change the frequency to something that's harmless to us - but bad for them.
Ooh! - Yeah.
If you can stall the Andys, Holly and I can take out the computer firewalls while Zane hacks the system.
- Sure.
- We still need a way to remotely access the network so we can upload the virus.
If they're still running diagnostics on the ship, the onboard computer must be networked into GD.
That's our ticket in.
All right, we're connected.
Now Fargo just needs to drop the GD firewalls, and I'm in.
Okay, is it me or did that seem a little too easy? What, getting in here or getting over my untimely death? Okay, look, I am sorry that you found out that way, and Carter didn't steal me from you.
I needed somebody.
And so did he.
Zane.
I fell in love.
I didn't do anything wrong.
This leads to S.
A.
R.
A.
H.
's mainframe.
It's like a back door to her brain.
We can drop her firewalls from here.
Okay, then.
Let's do this back door.
Let's hope they buy us some time.
Glad you listened to reason, sheriff.
I'm not sure I call brainwashing reason, but okay.
Human aggression is your greatest weakness.
We're just protecting you from yourselves.
Of course.
- Henry, are you guys okay? - We've been better.
All right, we're gonna get you out of there.
Your predictable overconfidence is rather remarkable, sheriff.
It's part of my girlish charm.
Andy, can't we be reasonable here? That would require that we're all being forthcoming.
And honest.
But that isn't what's happening here, is it? There it is, the access panel.
Awesome.
Okay, now we yank the firewalls, and Zane can hack the system.
You know, you're kind of sexy when you're heroic.
What are you doing, Douglas? Uh-oh.
Andy I've known you a long time.
And I don't care what your programming says.
I know that, deep down inside, you wouldn't want to hurt anyone.
You're right, sheriff.
I want everyone to be safe.
Yeah.
And this is the only way.
Firewalls are almost down.
Upload is ready to go.
Now we just watch out for any of our A.
I.
friends.
Found one.
Zane.
The firewalls are still up.
Okay, what do we do? Here, take this.
What now? Now we run.
Yeah.
It's activated! - Stand clear! - We're on pursuit now! Copy that.
Copy that.
Stop, Douglas.
You're hurting me.
Almost there.
Andy, you don't have to do this to them.
You're right.
I'm going to do it to all of you.
Here's Andy! Oh, God! He's coming.
Faster.
Okay, hold on.
Hold it! Hold on! One more second! Missile lock.
Missile lock! It's gonna be close.
Whoo-hoo! I can't believe you thought appealing to my emotion would work.
Actually, we didn't.
Last one.
Got it! That's it.
That's it.
Checkmate.
But the good news is, you won't hold it against me.
That was so creepy.
It worked.
As my first official act as director of GD, I am reinstating all Astraeus crew members to their previous posts and Jo Lupo as my head of security.
We have our town back! Um, excuse me, sir, what about the rest of us? Right.
Well, once you've completed your neuro-recalibration, we'll talk.
That sounds super, boss.
I kind of like Isaac better this way.
Yeah, me too.
It's good news, huh? Yeah.
Yup.
Back to normal.
Look, Zane, I know that you're upset with me.
But I really, really hope that we can be friends.
Yeah, I know you do.
Look, I respect the fact that you're with Carter, but I can't help but wonder what might have been.
So friends might take a while.
Yeah.
So what do you want to do? We'll figure it out, you know.
It's gonna be hard and complicated.
But you and Jo are together, and she's in Jenna's life now, and I can't take that from her.
I'm really sorry, Allie.
Me too.
But we're gonna-- we're gonna work this out.
Uh Jo and Jenna are on their way home.
Would you like to join us for dinner? I think that would be great.
Thanks.
I'll go get the food started.
She's crying.
Because everything she's experiencing feels absolutely real to her.
She's emotionally invested in the reality she's just helped create.
They all are.
The greatest minds in Eureka are working for us now.
And they don't even know it.
Some reaction to an npc.
I'll just go ahead and do another set of bio scans.
