All language subtitles for Eureka.S03E1_[English] (SUBRIP)

CARTER:
Previously on Eureka.

I would love to know who's
responsible for all this.

I am.

You're not alone.
You have friends.

Marry me, Allie. Again.

CARTER: All I'm saying
is that it's a big step,

and I'm a little
surprised at myself.

But it's unsettling.

I'm almost 17. Lots of
kids my age are doing it.

Lots of kids your age
are doing lots of things.

I thought you'd be proud
of me, being responsible.

I am. I am. I'm just adjusting
to my little kid growing up.

I'm waitressing part
time at Café Diem.

It's not like I'm
walking down the aisle.

I know, and that
place isn't safe.

Who knows how many
radioactive isoscopes

Vincent has flying around
that nuclear reactor

he calls a kitchen?

Isotopes. And it's fusion
reactor, it's not fission.

It's much safer.

Not helping.

So are you gonna go
see Henry?

Yeah. It's time for my
weekly chest whipping.

It's his hearing today,
so it might be the last one.

They're not gonna convict him. I
mean, they can't. He's Henry.

Well, is there anything
I can do to help?

Just wear a lead apron.

Okay.

Triple Kampuchean,
double foam latte for Zane

and Bavarian
espresso hammer for Jo.

I'm here. Where do I start?

You are late, little miss, so you
can start by bussing tables.

Great!

Doing the final test of the Viper today.
You want to celebrate later?

Obviously.

VINCENT: Hi, guys.
What?

Oh, I'm just wondering when you're
gonna quit playing hard to get

and give me an answer.

ALLISON:
I want to, Nathan.

There's a reason why things
didn't work outwith us before.

You always put your
work first. It...

Allie. I'm not
that guy anymore.

What do I got to do
to prove it to you?

Well, I think you're
gonna be given a chance.

The Department of Defense liaison's
gonna be here at any time.

They're not gonna fire you.

Yes, but what if they do?

What if the D.O.D. blames me for Henry's
security breach and reinstates you?

Then, you'll be my hot,
little assistant.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm serious, you...

It's gonna be fine.
I promise.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

It's Fargo. Viper test is ready.
We better go.

Okay.
PATRON: Thanks. You know it.

Oh, my goodness. Guess
who popped the question?

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Big test today, Fargo.

D.O.D. will be here.
Don't push the wrong button.

Shut up, Larry.
You all set, Dr. Edison?

Yes, I am.
Prepare for defeat, boys.

Martha, here, is gonna
make me proud.

(BEEPING)

Oh, my God,
what's she doing here?

The Fixer.

Her latest book makes Sun
Tzu look like Mary Poppins.

(CHUCKLING) Oh,
you are so dead.

ALLISON: Who's the Fixer?

FARGO: Eva Thorne. The woman's
a Wall Street legend.

She's dismantled and
rebuilt more

Fortune 500 companies
than anyone in history.

She coined the term downsizing,
fired Lee Iacocca.

Well, why would the D.O.D. send a
corporate killer to Global Dynamics?

I'm guessing it's not
to hand out promotions.

Oh, God, this is it.
Here she comes.

Eva Thorne,
this is a huge honor.

You must be Douglas Fargo.
She knows my name.

She knows my...
She knows my name.

Fargo, I have a feeling that Miss
Thorne knows everyone's name.

Doctor Blake,
please, call me Eva.

Pleasure.

And I assume tall, dark, and
brooding here is Nathan Stark.

Eva, I am so curious as to why
the Department of Defense

would send a business
tycoon to Eureka.

I'm here to help.

The D.O.D. asked me to review
operations for a few days,

see if I can offer up any
suggestions for improvements.

Here, in Eureka, we have the
greatest minds in the world,

solving the greatest
mysteries in the universe.

Can't put
a price tag on that.

Maybe you can't,
but I'm pretty sure I can.

Global Dynamics is gonna have
to start earning its keep,

and I believe I can
help you do that.

Show me what you got.

MAN ON LOUDSPEAKER:
Stand by, all personnel.

Viper Defense System initialization
sequence will begin.

ALLISON: This is G.D.'s advanced
weapons testing facility.

The variety of terrain options afford
us many different attack scenarios.

THORNE: So, tell me what
you're testing today.

The Viper Anti-Missile
Defense Array

makes the Star Wars program
look like an Erector Set.

The system can track
up to 12 targets.

The turrets emit hafnium powered
photons in controlled bursts.

We've had 19 successful tests.
Today should make a perfect 20.

Not if Martha can help it.

Martha?

Ethan Edison.

Ethan, this is Eva Thorne.
He designs our target drones.

Martha's my latest design. I really think
she stands a chance against the Viper.

Manning the Viper with Fargo in the G.D.
control room is Zane Donovan.

He's been working with Dr. Stark on
perfecting the Viper's tracking system.

The same Zane Donovan who crashed
the New York Stock Exchange?

Allegedly.

All right, boys, let's show Miss
Thorne what the Viper can do.

You got it. Viper system is online.
Tracking system is active.

Dr. Edison, it's time for
a little target practice.

The drones will proceed
1,000 meters downrange,

then turn back and commence
the simulated attack.

The Viper's mission,
knock them all down.

FARGO: Here they come.
Viper's locked and loaded.

Stand by.
She's about to go hot.

Any time now.

FARGO: There's only
one drone left.

Come on, Martha.

THORNE: Dr. Stark,
what's going on here?

FARGO: Hold on. Martha is targeting
the Viper. What the hell?

NATHAN: Look out!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Hit the failsafe!

EDISON: Martha's not responding
to any of my commands.

Impressive.

Great.

HENRY: Rook takes rook
on G-seven. Check.

Patience, Jack.

Sometimes, the best offense
is a good defense.

Speaking of which, is that
why you fired your lawyer?

It is. In my case, there is no defense.
I lied. I endangered lives.

I put Global Dynamics
at risk...

Yes, but you also saved
Allison's son.

Doing the right thing for the
wrong reason is still a mistake.

Rook on G-seven
to G-eight.

That's not what I'm
talking about.

Some things can't be forgiven,

no matter how much
I wish they could.

(DOOR BUZZING)

Knight takes pawn on
D-five. Checkmate.

Checkmate.

Jo?
What's going on?

The D.O.D. is confiscating
Henry's equipment as evidence.

Oh, evidence of what, that
he never threw anything away?

Hey, hey,
don't take that stuff.

Carter, the court order says
everything goes. I'm sorry.

Well, that isn't right.

Does Allison know about this?

I think she's focused on
more personal matters.

Yeah, like what?

Oh, you know.

No.

She hasn't mentioned
any new developments?

Jo?
Stark proposed.

Oh.

You okay?
Yeah.

Yeah, good for her.

Wow. If she's happy,
I'm happy.

You sure?
Absolutely. Yeah.

Yeah, well, you know,
we didn't have a future.

We didn't even have a present.

If you say so.

(WHOOSHING)

What was that?

Wait for it.

(RINGING)

Let me guess,
someone lose a UFO?

It's not a UFO. It's a military
attack drone, named Martha.

Well, that's so much better.

And it's not lost.
It's just not here.

Yeah, but the Fixer is,
and given her reputation,

if we don't find it, none
of us may be here for long.

Hold on. A Fixer is?

A silly nickname,
but what can you do?

Carter, this is Eva Thorne. She's
doing a performance review of G.D.

Ah. Well, good luck with that.
Got your work cut out for you.

So do you.

Let's get Miss Thorne settled
and continue our tour

while the sheriff
handles this.

Yeah, any spare
office will do.

I just need someplace
to keep my things safe.

Already taken care of,

Miss Thorne, and I would be
honored to show you around.

Give us a chance to talk
about your new book.

(LAUGHING) Great rewards
require great risk.

I couldn't agree more.

Big reader, Larry?

(CHUCKLES)

Never judge a book
by its cover, Sheriff.

Shall we?

Lead the way.

I really hate him.

Carter, we have to get
that drone back.

I can't exactly
arrest it for speeding.

We're trying to re-establish
microwave control,

but we believe the guy who built
her is trying to protect her.

Why would he want
to protect a UFO?

His name is Ethan Edison.

He's in the Section Seven
test range,

and you should go
sheriff him up.

Your fiancé is in a mood.

How did you...
Small town.

Oh, I haven't said yes.

Well, it's none of my business.
Now, I got a UFO to catch, so...

I don't know what happened. I stayed
within test parameters. I swear.

Look, Mr. Edison,
nobody's blaming you.

I'm blaming you.

Nineteen tests. That's 19
victories for the Viper,

19 losses for me.

I finally win,
everyone's mad at me.

Nobody's mad at you.
I'm mad at you.

We're just trying to
figure out

why your fancy
clay pigeon went AWOL.

Martha is a
learning computer, okay?

And she is developing at
an incredible rate.

It's like she went from being a
toddler to a teenager overnight.

Well, your teenager
just stole a car,

a gun, and ran away
from home.

Now, she's dangerous,
and we need her back.

Believe me, Sheriff,
I'd like nothing more,

but, given her
current state of mind,

the last thing that
you should do is threaten her.

Well, okay, given.
But we need this fixed.

Martha's not responding
to her control signal,

and she's flying
below radar range.

Eureka's electromagnetic
security barrier should

keep her contained
within the city,

but I'm worried about her,
Sheriff.

She's growing up way too fast.

Oh, believe me, I get that,
but we need her back.

Vin, nobody orders
the same dish twice.

French, Italian, Namibian?

How am I supposed to memorize
the menu if you don't have one?

There's only one rule at Cafe' Diem, Zoe.
You want it, we got it.

Come with me for a sec.

Now, if you're gonna
work here, you need to

be able to navigate
the walk-in fridge, Zo.

Navigate?

Whoa!

It's like Narnia.

Ponchos are on the left.

Take the shuttle if you
need food from the back.

Now, here's what I need.

We have a VIP
coming for lunch

and I want to whip up
something special.

So, good luck.

See anything?

JO: Not yet.

You run Edison's file?

Yeah, graduated Cal Tech,

where he married his
lab partner, Mina.

Fifteen years, he's been
building drones

and Global keeps
shooting them down.

Never had a win before today.

Well, he finally
made up for it.

I vote for a coffee break,
we can visit Zoe.

Yeah, no time
and rather not.

Carter, you got to be
more supportive.

A little independence
is good for her.

See? That's where it starts. Next,
it's gonna be, "I want my own place,"

then, "Did I mention
my boyfriend's moving in?"

And, "Why wait to get married?
Because we love each other now."

And, "Congratulations,
you're a grandpa."

And, I hope,
all in that order.

Hey, exactly
how big is this thing,

like, bigger
than a breadbox?

Oh, crap. Meet me at
the Sheriff's Office.

Hi!
Martha, is it? Yes.

We have a lot of people
looking for you.

Ethan is worried sick.

I'm gonna call him
right now

so he can
come take you home.

Jo, drop it.
Don't threaten her.

Her? What about us?
Jo. Jo.

(BEEPING)

(BOTH EXCLAIM)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Noted.

Jo, we've got to get her off
the streets, okay? Yeah.

Just follow us
for a second.

Easy.
Nice killer drone.

Where the hell'd she go?

I'm guessing, there.

Yeah.

So, it's an invisible,
killer drone?

Just keeps getting better.
What's the plan?

Kind of improvising
here, Jo.

(SHUSHING)

She's at my one o'clock.

You know football?

Three brothers, yeah.

Blanket blitz, on three.

One, two, three!

Got it!
Oh!

(SCREAMING)

What do you want me to do?

CARTER: The cell!

Get her in the cell! Whoa!

(WARBLED ELECTRONIC VOICE)

I can't believe that worked.

We rule.

(EXHALES)

We so don't rule.

You tried to arrest it?

We tried to contain it.

By putting a weaponized
attack drone in jail?

Well, when you
put it like that...

I don't presume to know
how to do your job, Sheriff,

but these numbers
are concerning.

They show the various incidents
in Eureka over the past 50 years.

What are all the
red dots over there?

That would be the period since
you've been here, Sheriff Carter.

Oh.

I take it, red is bad?

Yes, red is bad.
Red is costly.

To be frank, your budget
can't afford you.

So, this is somehow my fault?

Numbers don't lie.

I don't cause
the problems around here.

Look, can the two of you get
along for five minutes?

Not likely.
Not likely.

Martha is out of control.

We need Ethan to
find a way to find her

before things
escalate any more.

Okay. Urn...

Jo, let's get everyone off the
street, until she's found.

Oh, declaring martial law
on review day?

Not exactly a highlight
for the résumé.

I got to protect the town. You
protect you, it's what you do best.

Jo, can I...

I'm gonna go with him.

So, you and Carter
don't exactly get along?

Not exactly.

Allison seems to think
rather highly of him.

We all have
our blind spots.

For what it's worth,
I think you were dead on.

When you're running
a place like this,

people need to follow orders,
not question them.

They just need to be
reminded who's in charge.

Can I go?

Of course.

ALLISON: Here's Ethan's.

All right, just get it off your chest.
I know it's killing you.

Honestly, I don't know how you
could consider marrying him again.

I don't know, Carter.
Maybe I still love him.

Oh, well, then, you guys have
something in common.

He loves him, too.

Oh. Sorry, I thought
you were Ethan.

No, but we're looking for him.

Well, he should be home any minute.
Why? ls something wrong?

Yeah, you might want to hold
off on the champagne.

Mina and I have just worked
for so long to get a win,

I just didn't have the heart to tell her
how the test went until we found Martha.

Well, Martha found me.

She attacked me,
and then she turned invisible.

Where do you think she is?

I don't know, but I know Martha,
and if she wanted to hurt you,

you wouldn't be
standing here right now.

But cloaking?
Clever girl.

She must have somehow figured
out how to upgrade her system.

Are you telling me you didn't
program her to do that?

No! See, each version has
different abilities, right?

Like thermal defense,
infrared, x-ray,

but cloaking always drains
the fusion power cell.

So I left it out
this time.

Oh, trust me, she has it.

Maybe that photon blast
that she absorbed

somehow supercharged her
microprocessor.

Well, we better get her back,
before she hurts someone.

Hey, listen, the only reason
that she came after you

is because she's
on the defensive,

but if she's cloaking, she's gonna
have to come home to recharge.

(CARS APPROACHING)

MAN: Go! Go! Go!

I want everything boxed up and
taken back to Global Dynamics,

every drone is to be
disassembled and analyzed.

ALLISON: Nathan,
what are you doing?

My job.

Sheriff, I'll take it
from here.

Does it matter that
all of this is evidence

in an active
police investigation?

Nope. You had
your shot, Sheriff.

This is all property of
Global Dynamics,

which means it is
out of your jurisdiction.

Dr. Stark,
please, don't do this.

My work is all I have.

It's not your work,
anymore, Dr. Edison.

Martha's become a dangerous
and expensive liability.

I'm sorry, Ethan. You violated
test parameters. You're done.

It's okay, Ethan.

Well, it's 12:00.

Still on for Café Diem?

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

Pompous jackass! How could
anyone be attracted to Stark?

Besides the ruggedly handsome,
successful, powerful thing, I...

Thanks, Jo. Zane, Ethan
swears that the photon blast

made Martha smart enough to
upgrade her own system.

No way, software, maybe,
but hardware? Not a chance.

All right.

So, who would want to
do this to her?

I don't know. But they'd
have to know how to hijack

an encrypted frequency
to control her.

He also says that cloaking drains her
battery, so she'll need to recharge.

Mmm-hmm.

But if Stark took
all of his equipment,

maybe she'll
follow him to G.D.

No, the security's too tight.
It'll need another source.

It'll take a fusion reactor
to do her any good.

(STAMMERING)
Well...

How about the one in the
back of Vincent's kitchen?

Oh, that'd work.
How'd you know that?

Father knows best.

ZOE: All right, I've had
just about enough of Narnia.

Take the shuttle?
Yeah, if I could find it.

Who likes fennel, anyway?

(WHIRRING)

Excellent! A flying shuttle. Not
exactly roomy, but whatever.

(SIGHS)

You have a passenger.

(WARBLED ELECTRONIC VOICE)

What's wrong? Does your
battery need charging?

(WARBLED ELECTRONIC VOICE)

Okay, but make it quick.
I'm freezing to death.

Everybody down!
Invisible drone on the loose!

You may want to lay off
the Vinspresso, Sheriff.

Oh, boy! I think
I got everything.

What took you so long?
I was lost.

I'd still be in there, if your Cylon
shuttle thing hadn't shown me the way out.

BOTH:
What Cylon shuttle thing?

It was just behind me.

(SOFTLY) You guys get in the corner.
Go. You guys, down.

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

CARTER: Martha?
Martha?

(EXCLAIMS)
Really?

(THUDDING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

CARTER: Martha?

Jo, stand down.

Martha? You remember me?

Piggybacks, good times.

LARRY: The applications
for my work, very surprising.

Martha's here.

(WHIRRING)

How did she...

Look out!

(SCREAMS)

You Okay?

Yeah.
Is she out?

I don't know.

Everyone else okay?

Yeah.

I'm okay.

Larry isn't.

I don't get it. I mean,
she seemed so nice.

Yeah.

Go home, sweetie.
Why?

Because, working here
isn't safe.

I can't worry about you
and do my job, so... Sorry.

You know, you can't
control me forever.

Maybe not, but I can today.

Sorry.

Well, Larry's
unconscious, but alive.

Martha and I were
face to face.

Why'd she take
a shot at Thorne?

Poor judgment. Well, there's
plenty of that to go around.

I appreciate what
you did, Sheriff,

but this town
is out of control.

I want you to take this thing
back to Global Dynamics

and have it
permanently dismantled.

As far as my review is concerned,
it's not looking good.

Perfect.
So, what do we do now?

We finish what we started.
What's this?

That would be a remote
transmitter.

So, someone has been
controlling Martha.

Someone who wants
to hurt Thorne.

Everyone's job is on the line. I'm sure
there's a lot of people who would celebrate

if she wasn't around.

Or one person in particular.

We think she tied into the cafe's
power supply to stay cloaked,

and then she fired on Thorne.

It's not in her programming
to attack someone unprovoked.

That makes sense. We think she
had a little outside help.

Didn't she, Mina?

I'm sorry?

You were chilling champagne,
before the tests were even over.

You knew that
Martha was gonna win.

Well, I hoped.
CARTER: No, you didn't.

You guaranteed it.

Sorry, I don't understand.

What did you do? Give her some
extra bells and whistles? Hmm?

Just to give her the edge?
Mina?

It's not easy living in a town
where everyone's exceptional,

especially when they're given every
advantage to succeed, but you're not.

Ethan pours his heart
into his work,

but there are always
restrictions that guarantee

Martha's destroyed.

My husband's a brilliant man,
who's only allowed to fail.

For once, I just...

I just wanted everyone to see
how talented he really is.

Thank you, sweetheart.

That's very touching,
but you went too far

and now a man
is in the hospital.

Well, Larry.

I may have boosted
Martha's abilities,

but I had no idea she'd escape,
let alone hurt anyone.

We found this remote
transmitter attached to her.

Well, this didn't
come from me.

It's not sophisticated enough to keep
her under control for very long.

But why go after Thorne?

If Martha was after Thorne, there's
no way she would have missed.

Then Thorne wasn't
the target.

Hey, Vince, did you find anything
when you were cleaning up over there?

Let me ask my waitress.

Oh, right,
I can't, you fired her.

Vince...
Look all you want.

This mustard isn't gonna
clean itself.

Hey, check it out.

Larry had that
book with him all day.

Yeah. Since when does
paper melt?

Never judge a book
by its cover.

I want you to take it apart. Find
out what made it go on the attack.

Sort of a shock
and awe-topsy.

You don't do an
autopsy on a machine.

From what I saw, she's more human
than a lot of people I know.

Well, let's find out why.

Okay. Why me?

Because I read your file and I
want the best person for the job,

unless you don't think
you're that person.

No, no, I definitely am.
I just need to grab my gear.

Let's get you started.

CARTER: Larry.

Larry!

Oh, hey.
Don't be upset, guys.

Doc says
I'm gonna be just fine.

We brought some reading material
to speed your recovery.

It's not what it looks like.
Really?

'Cause your book there is programmed
to the same encrypted frequency

as the transmitter
we found on the drone.

Okay, it's a little
what it looks like.

You've been controlling
Martha the entire time.

Some of the time.

What the hell
were you thinking?

I knew the D.O.D.
was coming,

and when I realized
who they sent,

I freaked.

I developed my E.L.F. signal capturing
remote to use against enemy drones.

Just wanted
to show it worked.

By destroying the
entire Viper system?

No! I hijacked the signal
before the test,

but I was as surprised as you
when Martha took out the Viper.

I wanted to show my design
to Thorne at Cafe' Diem

and land Martha outside,

but Martha snuck in
and ambushed me.

Mina Edison boosted Martha's learning capacity.
She outsmarted you.

I'm really sorry.

Well, you're lucky
that we got her back

before things spiraled
out of control.

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

What's that?

Security breach,

Section Seven.
It's Martha.

CARTER: So much for things not
spiraling out of control.

She's leading them into town.

And, now, she's
completely autonomous.

You think she's been
planning this all along?

Planning what?

Well, I mean, Martha can
disengage from Larry,

she can beat
the Viper system,

but then she goes down after a
couple pops from our cap guns?

She was playing possum.

It was her only way to get back into G.D.
to activate the other drones.

Well, now, you have an
artificially intelligent

drone army looking
for payback.

Jo, signal a lockdown.
Everyone inside.

I'm heading out.

Look! See that plane!
How many are there?

Everyone off the streets.
I need you...

Look the whole... I know. Let's go.
I can see that.

Quickly. Now, please,
everybody just go home.

I'm almost 17, SARAH.

I mean, he can't keep
controlling everything I do.

SARAH: Your father
does the best he can.

What kind of crappy
platitude is that?

The usual kind, I guess.

I'm receiving orders from Officer
Lupo for a Level Four lockdown.

Lockdown from what?

I don't know,
but she was quite clear.

(SARAH POWERING DOWN)

SARAH?

Tell me that was you.

(DOOR OPENING)

SARAH?

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

They're taking out the power
beacons for the E.M. shield.

What is that? NATHAN:
It's an electromagnetic

security umbrella
that covers the town.

It's like an invisible
fence over Eureka

that the drones can't breach.

They've hit four of 26.

If they take down
too many beacons,

there's no way we can
keep them in Eureka.

All right, listen up!

Everybody, I need you
indoors, please.

Everybody, please get off
the streets and indoors!

Thank you very much.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Zoe, it's not a good
time. Just stay inside.

It's like War of the
Worlds out here.

Yeah, well it's like War of
the Worlds over here, too.

What?

Martha's here.

I'm on my way.

(WHIRRING)

(WARBLED ELECTRONIC VOICE)

Zoe?
Zoe?

It's okay.
I'm right here.

SARAH: Primary systems
restored.

Here, take a seat.
You okay?

Did she hurt you?
SARAH, lights!

No, she's gone.

I actually think
she was trying to help me.

Help you what?

Get away from you.

ZANE: Only twelve
beacons left.

We're below
50% shield strength.

We need to bolster the shield,
before they take it down.

No, we have to
take it down, first.

What? Well, I don't think
Martha wants to hurt anyone.

I think she's
the emotional equivalent

of a pissed off teen
who needs some space.

Except Martha's not a teen.
She's not even human.

When we were at the cafe,
she saw me ground my daughter,

and then she broke into
my house to set her free.

She may not be human, but I don't
think she's bent on world domination.

Well, that's not a chance
I'm willing to take, Sheriff.

We need air support, now.

Dr. Stark, you want to
make the call?

Wait, if you go on the
attack, then, so will she.

Sometimes the best offense
is no defense.

Well...
Something like that.

No, Carter almost articulated a good point.
We escalate, so does she.

Taking the barrier down first
could be seen as an olive branch.

Or a surrender, which is
something I never do.

I'm here under the authority
of the D.O.D.

I'm gonna use it.

It's Eva Thorne.
I need General Mansfield.

We have an emergency
situation here in Eureka.

Prepare the fighters.

NATHAN: General Mansfield,
she is unqualified for this.

I'm sorry, but Thorne has the full backing
of the D.O.D. It's her call, now.

General, she is sending your
men into harm's way.

Well, luckily, that's what they've
been trained for. I'll keep watching.

Carter, the fighters
are in the air.

You got to shut down the E.M.
shield before they get here.

Martha needs to know
we trust her.

Even if we do, Thorne's
controlling the planes.

For the moment.

What?
What are you saying?

She thinks we're incompetent.
Let's prove her right.

PILOT: Omega One,
this is Alpha Leader.

We are minutes
away, and closing.

Your targets are dead ahead.

FEMALE ELECTRONIC VOICE: Electromagnetic
security barrier is now inactive.

What? Why are the
barriers down?

I thought you were fixing it.

Oh, sorry, I must have
pushed the wrong button.

I do that sometimes.

PILOT: Omega One, this is Alpha Leader.
We have contact.

Then, take them down.

Omega One, your transmission's
breaking up. Say, again?

THORNE: Shoot
the drones down.

Alpha Leader,
do you hear me?

Hmm! Somebody must've
hijacked the signal. Crazy.

PILOT: Omega One,
we're going hot.

Permission to engage?

Negative, Alpha Leader.
Fire only if fired upon.

You are making a
disastrous mistake. No.

Okay, Carter,
I really hope you're right.

Tell me about it.

Right, so you're sure Martha's gonna
be able to hear us on this thing?

Yeah, yeah, but whether she
listens to us is another matter.

PILOT: Omega One,
we're being targeted.

We're live. We're live.
We're live.

Well, if you have any
words of wisdom,

like, "Don't start World War
Three," now's the time.

Listen, Martha, it's Ethan.

I know that you're upset,
but violence is not the answer

and there's gonna be consequences
for your actions,young lady.

If you want respect, you're
just gonna have to earn it.

Give me that. Okay, Martha,
so, here's the deal.

I know it sucks having someone
control everything you do,

but it's worse not to have
anyone care at all.

I've had my fair share
of running away,

and believe me, it is no
picnic out there on your own.

So, my advice to you is take
a lap, let off some steam

and come home.

Parents only make us
miserable because they care.

And don't start
World War Three.

Right, and that.

PILOT: Omega One,
target is closing.

Request permission to fire.

NATHAN: Negative, Alpha One,
hold your fire.

Don't do it, Martha.
Come home.

You just have to trust me.
Listen to me, Martha.

PILOT: Alpha Leader, roger that.
Engaging sidewinders.

Roger.

Omega One, all targets
have disengaged.

That's my girl.

(ELECTRONIC HUMMING)

You and your team went behind my
back and undercut my direct order.

Some of us went right
in front of your back.

And we were right.
You were lucky.

Yeah. But have you seen
the graph of all the red dots?

Where the lunatics
are running the asylum?

I used to think the same thing,
but they're not lunatics.

They're not all...

There's a fine line
between genius and crazy.

But, sometimes, the things that they
create are amazing, like Martha.

Which would have been destroyed,
had they done things your way.

But your way
could've been worse.

Great rewards
require great risk.

Big reader,
are you, Sheriff?

I heard it somewhere.
Huh.

So, what happens, now?

Dr. Stark, I've decided,
on a trial basis,

that you will resume your
duties as Director of Research.

No, I won't,
not without Dr. Blake.

Oh, of course not.

You may know science, but your people
skills leave a lot to be desired.

Dr. Blake, you will be the
new Director of Operations.

So, we'll be co-heads
of Global Dynamics?

No, more like
CEO and COO.

Well, who's gonna be
the chairman?

For the time being,
that would be me.

G.D. needs corporate partnership,
private capital, synergy.

There are gonna be some
big changes around here.

What is all of this?

It's our first sponsor.
It's very exciting.

Well, I'm gonna leave
this to you two.

I have a drone-shaped hole
in my office to attend to.

Carter! I just
wanted to say,

it's been a really rough day and you
really came through for everyone.

Thanks.

So, you and Stark?

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, I think so. Maybe.

You really think
I'm making a mistake, huh?

(STAMMERING)
No. No, no, I...

I think whatever you decide,

I'll be here for you.

Really?

Yeah.

(LAUGHING)

No, not really.

Get out of here.

You were willing to walk away
from Global for me?

I told you, I want us to be
together in the office, always.

Nathan, do you really think
we can make this work?

I know we can.

Okay.

Is that a yes?
That's a yes.

Vincent, I think we're gonna
need a bottle of champagne.

All right.

Hey. Hell of
a first day, huh?

Yeah. Thanks for
letting me come back.

Yeah. I overreacted.

Sorry I'm late.

Yeah, I'm afraid you are.

VINCENT: Champagne, coming up!

Let's go.
