Eureka (2006–2012): Season 1, Episode 5 - Invincible - full transcript
A lab accident causes a scientist to, seemingly, become indestructible, but Carter and Stark have their own concerns.
(ALARM BLARING)
I need to know.
(SIGHS)
I need to know.
MAN ON RADIO:
A huge round of thanks
to all the volunteers...
Carter.
What you doing?
I'm the sheriff.
I'm sheriffing.
You were supposed meet me
at Global a half an hour ago
for your physical.
Yeah, good news.
I gave myself the physical
and I'm in perfect health.
All right, it's mandatory.
You can't be insured
by Global without one.
Yeah, now's not a good time.
We're really,
really, super busy.
Okay, this is the third time
you've put this off.
What's up?
Do you really wanna know?
No, I just enjoy
our morning banter.
Because I don't want to die.
Isn't that
the whole point of taking
the physical, Carter?
No, that's tempting fate.
Insure a cop today,
he takes a bullet tomorrow.
Oh, what are you,
superstitious?
It's not superstition
if it's true, which it is.
Okay, you know what?
You're not grasping
the point here.
If you don't
take the physical,
you don't have a job.
So, strip. We'll just
do the physical here.
Excuse me?
Oh, we all have a past.
This was mine.
So, time's a-wasting.
Drop 'em.
I'm gonna need to
see some credentials
if you are a doctor.
Was a doctor,
before Kevin was born.
But I still think
I remember where
all the main parts are.
So drop your pants.
No.
There'll be no pant dropping
without a nice dinner
and many, many cocktails.
(PHONE RINGING)
Deputy Lupo.
This is Carlson.
Where's Cobb?
Dr. Carlson...
Calm down.
Who is it?
I'm trying to...
Just breathe.
...standing here
in the middle of...
Okay, get a paper bag...
What?
Breathe into it.
Who is that?
Carl Carlson.
He 911s all the time.
We can ignore it.
Not on my watch.
Carter.
Sorry, Allison.
Gotta go.
Protect and serve.
Wait for it.
Where am I going, exactly?
Hello? Don't put me on hold
or I'll kill you!
Carl Carlson?
You're not Sheriff Cobb.
No.
Sheriff Cobb retired.
I took his place.
There was a town meeting
and everything...
I gave a speech.
I don't get out much.
I'm gathering.
Jack Carter.
Do you have any idea
how many strains of
bacteria are transmitted
by hand-to-hand contact?
No. But I'm guessing
you do.
Oh, yeah, well,
I'm really sorry,
but I don't think
this is gonna work out.
I need Sheriff Cobb.
You're still
not Sheriff Cobb.
Yeah, we established that.
But since I'm here, what is
your emergency exactly?
I have to get to work.
You called 911
to bum a ride?
It's a very big day for me.
Sheriff Cobb always
used to give me a ride
on very big days.
Driving makes me
very nervous.
It's okay, Carl.
I'm here.
Client of yours?
Six years running.
Why didn't you tell me
that there's a new sheriff?
It came about
rather unexpectedly,
and I didn't want
to panic you until we had
time to process it.
Yeah, well, now I'm panicking,
because this is a defining day
in my research
and I have absolutely
no way of getting to work!
I'm sure Sheriff Carter
will be happy to drive you.
Yeah.
You know, he is
a former U.S. Marshal.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Okay.
Only if he puts
the lights on.
Well, that was
surprisingly easy.
He must like you.
Beverly, I don't run
a taxi service.
He's on the verge
of a major breakthrough.
More like a major breakdown.
He's pioneering the field
of cellular regeneration.
You would be helping him
help everyone else
if you do this.
What are we waiting for?
You're making me late.
I used to have a real job.
You're doing a good thing.
Carl!
And remember,
lights but no siren.
Right.
Okay. I got you here
in one piece.
Well, next time,
if you wouldn't mind
cleaning out your car...
There won't be
a next time.
Best of luck.
What do you mean?
You're not coming to my lab?
No, I've got...
Today's the day I go
for all the marbles...
I've got a thing and then
I have another thing.
Oh, 'cause Sheriff Cobb
always used to.
Okay, for the last time, Carl,
I'm not Sheriff Cobb.
I'm an officer of the law,
and I just can't...
Mr. Stark, can I get
your signature, please?
ALLISON: Carter!
...get enough of the science
in this town.
Oh, good!
Yeah, so what is
this breakthrough?
It's a remarkable...
I am so tired of that man.
What is it with
you and Carter?
Not Carter, Carlson.
The man's
been here for six years,
he hasn't produced anything.
He's literally more trouble
than he's worth.
Is this really necessary?
I can't risk introducing
new strains of bacteria
into the test area.
Could you
step back, please?
I said step back.
I'm attempting to achieve
"adhesion affinity gradient"
in the proximal blastemal
cells in human tissue.
I'm glad
someone's on that.
Yes.
You know,
when a lizard loses its tail,
it grows back.
It's called
cellular regeneration.
I'm trying to do
the same thing with people.
Well, that's cool.
Beverly encourages me
to take risks
and not wimp out
when I'm on the verge
of something new.
Moment of truth.
One drop.
One drop only.
(SIGHS)
Uh-oh.
What do you mean "uh-oh"?
(GROANS)
ALLISON:
If you'd come to my office
for your physical,
you might not have
been hurt physically.
Well, Dr. Blake,
if you hadn't have tried
to give me a physical,
then I wouldn't have had to
have gone through such
extreme measures to avoid it.
You got off
lucky, Carter.
Well, not as lucky as him.
OFFICER: What happened?
I don't know. It could be
the new tungsten alloy rotor
I installed in the centrifuge.
It could be...
You know what?
Dichloride heptoxide
is unstable when heated
and that's what
probably happened.
In fact I'm sure that
that's what happened.
Probably happened.
Allison, I'm gonna need
Form 395 Tack Two-Charlie.
Nathan...
My call.
He's all yours, Carter.
All mine?
What's Form 395
Tack Two-Charlie?
Revocation
of Government Clearances
and Property.
Carl is being fired.
It is your job as sheriff
to oversee
the safe and orderly removal
of all ex-employees
from Eureka.
What does that entail?
ALLISON: Technicians
from Global Dynamics
will pack up anything
that belongs to Dr. Carlson
and confiscate anything
that doesn't.
They'll review
his personal documents
and redact
any classified information.
Dr. Carlson will then be
scanned to make sure
he's not concealing
any classified materials.
A Global Dynamics
Human Resource counselor
will provide Dr. Carlson
with a new résumé,
replacing his tenure at Global
with a plausible government
research project,
complete with
applicable references.
Every molecule of my life
has been erased.
That's our goal.
Have a good day.
Don't touch me.
I'm really sorry
about this, Carl.
Yeah, where am I
gonna sleep?
I'm sure Beverly has a place.
Oh, she's not returning
my calls.
Besides, I cannot sleep
in a public bed.
If Sheriff Cobb were here,
he'd let me stay with him.
But he's not here.
Step two...
Carl, I happen to live
in a hermetically-sealed
military bunker...
Perfect! Thank you!
I'll just call Beverly
and let her know
where I'm staying,
if I had a phone,
'cause I don't have one,
'cause they took it!
So I don't have one.
Can I borrow...
Yeah...
Thank you.
I got a...
CARTER: Hey.
So, you moonlighting
at Staples?
Form 395 Tack Two-Charlie.
Carl has to complete these
before he's allowed
to leave Eureka.
Well, so much
for your paperless society.
Well, these will get filed
with the DOD.
They're not quite down
with the "Save the Tree"
mentality as of yet.
Oh, and that's for you.
Ow!
Oh, yeah, it'll hurt
a lot more if
you try to take it off.
What the hell is it?
Wireless body sensor.
In other words,
portable physical.
It's taking
constant measurements
of your vital signs,
organ functions,
and blood chemistry.
I feel so violated.
Oh, I'll be monitoring you.
Allison!
Blood pressure!
Make sure he signs
every page.
(GROANS)
Beverly, it's Carl again.
Please, pick up
if you're there.
I know you told me
that with risk
come great rewards.
Well, I'm having
a little trouble
seeing what those rewards
are at this moment.
Beverly, listen,
I'm being redacted.
I'm being exiled
out of Eureka.
You need to call me.
Okay, well, actually,
you'll have to call
Carter's phone,
not me, 'cause
they took my phone.
That was him.
This is
an unfortunate setback.
It's okay.
Carl Carlson may no longer
be a viable candidate
for our objectives.
However, a new target
has been identified.
You asked to see me, sir?
NATHAN: Yes, Fargo.
I need you to lead
the investigation
on the explosion
in Dr. Carlson's lab.
Wow! Thank you, sir.
I'm honored.
Just keep the findings
between us until
I tell you otherwise.
On the down low.
Got it.
SARAH, Door!
SARAH: Welcome,
Sheriff Carter.
Hey, what's up?
Organic Chemistry
is gonna kill me.
What happened to you?
Organic chemistry
almost killed me.
Oh, we're going to have
a houseguest tonight,
so remember to pick up.
Good going, Dad.
Is it Allison or Jo?
SARAH, beer!
SARAH: Yes, Sheriff.
What?
Well, see, I have a bet
going with Vincent.
See, if I win, then he's going
to make me breakfast
in bed for a month.
And if he wins,
I wait tables.
Neither. Stop wagering
on my love life
or lack thereof.
All right, so who's
this lucky person?
It's a researcher
who got canned today.
He'll be over just as
soon as he finishes off
some paperwork,
which could take a while.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Don't.
Carter.
It's Carl.
Hey, Carl. You done already?
No.
Listen, I wanna thank you
for the generous offer,
but I don't think
I'm going to be needing
a place to sleep tonight.
Carl, where are you?
I'm just cleaning.
Cleaning what?
You're place is empty.
The railing
of the Da Vinci Bridge.
Don't move.
I'll be right there.
SARAH, door!
(SIREN WAILING)
Hey, Carl.
CARL: Hi.
You wanna
come back here?
Why?
My whole life's a failure.
Blew up six years
of research,
got fired, ended up
with nothing but
my toothbrush,
all before lunch.
Okay.
This was a setback.
My work is my life.
And without it, I'm nothing.
No, you're something.
You're...
You're a nice guy.
I irritate you.
I irritate everybody,
it's not surprising.
I'm irritating.
Well...
You're colorful.
Don't patronize me, Sheriff.
All right.
Well...
If you're going, then...
Hold on.
What are you doing?
No! No!
Don't, don't.
When I get nervous,
I get very confused.
If I get confused,
I might...
Fall?
Yes. I'm glad
you understand.
Oh!
(STUTTERING) I don't think
you wanna do this.
I get it.
I mean, you've had
a really rotten day,
and everything sucks.
Okay.
Why don't we just
climb back over
and talk about it?
Huh?
You know, go grab a beer?
Make fun of Stark?
What do you say?
I never grabbed a beer
with anybody in my life.
Today's the first drink
of the rest of your life
if you don't jump.
You think
we could be friends, huh?
I think that's what
the beer is for.
What do I do?
I don't know what to do.
Take it real slow.
I can't do it slow,
I gotta...
Okay. Okay.
Gotta do it really fast.
Give me your hand.
Okay. Come on!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(BEEPING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
CARTER: Carter.
Carter, are you all right?
(GROANING) Not sure.
Still taking stock.
How did you know?
Well, your blood pressure
spiked,
your adrenals
went into overdrive,
and your white cell count
suggests you may have
broken something.
Well, I fell down.
A long way down.
Are you sure you're okay?
(GRUNTS)
Where's Carl?
What do you mean
"Where's Carl?"
I thought you were
staying on top of him.
Believe me, I was.
Call you later.
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
Henry? Henry?
HENRY: Carl?
Listen, I heard
the news, and...
I have to talk to you.
What happened to your head?
What?
Your head!
Oh!
Yeah, I took
a bit of a tumble
in more ways than one.
Look, let me
clean that up for you
so it doesn't get infected.
No, no, no.
With those hands?
I don't think so.
Do you have a sink?
Sure, in the back.
There should be
some sanitizing lotion
and disinfectant
in there, too.
Oh, my God!
Oh! Oh!
(EXCLAIMING)
FARGO:
We have preliminary data
on the lab accident.
Looks like there was
a momentary breach
of the EMG
that coincided
with the accident
in Dr. Carlson's lab.
Pulse wave from the ultrafuge
probably caused
a magnetic disturbance.
That's not all.
We're detecting
exotic atomic particles
inside his lab
that I've never
seen before.
And the breach
appears to have come
from below his lab
in Section Five.
Hey, Carter. You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
I think I might have
cracked a rib or three.
What? How?
Funny you should ask.
It's a good story.
(GRUNTS)
A hypothetical guy
falls maybe 50 feet,
lands flat on the ground.
And then another guy
weighing 180 falls
and lands on top of him.
Okay, what is the chance
of the hypothetical guy
getting up and walking away?
Well, whether I use
single case probability
or an application
of Bayesian statistics,
the outcome is the same.
Slim to none.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Look, this hypothetical guy,
is that you?
No. I landed
on the hypothetical guy,
though.
It was Carl Carlson.
What? Carl was just here!
I mean, he did look
pretty beat up,
but certainly didn't look
like a guy who fell 50 feet.
Doesn't make any sense.
I gotta find him.
You might want
to find a doctor.
Yeah, okay.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Vincent.
A beer.
VINCENT: Okay.
But you don't drink alcohol
and I don't serve you any more
since you brought in
the health inspector.
There was a fly in my soup.
You sensed
a fly in your soup!
I may have overreacted.
Hey, you overreact
a lot, mate.
That's why you're out.
Number of
animal distress calls
I've made to your house?
I'd have canned you
years ago.
Yes, Taggart, you're right.
I used to be a man
afraid of everything.
But all that will change.
Starting now.
Beverly.
Carl, oh, my God,
what happened?
Are you okay?
I'm better than okay.
I'm really sorry
that I couldn't take
your calls.
Global revoked
your therapy privileges.
Totally understandable.
Why would you take my calls?
I was a loser.
But I'm a new man
now, Beverly.
You told me to take risks
and you were right.
You're touching my skin
without gloves!
Without disinfectant.
Fear kept me
from living, Beverly.
Kept me from
trying the things
at I wanted to try
and doing the things
I wanted to do.
But something extraordinary
happened to me today,
and all that's changed.
I wanted to say thank you.
I've always wanted
to do that.
Who hasn't?
Even I've thought
about it.
And now, Beverly,
if you'll excuse me.
Good night, boys.
Well, well. Dr. Stark.
CARL: Stark?
Carlson.
I would've thought
you'd been redacted by now.
Oh, I have been.
You took away the only thing
that I ever cared about.
You're gonna regret it.
You and I both know
I should've done that
a long time ago.
CARTER: Carl!
I've been looking
everywhere for you.
What happened?
Carl! No!
Carlson.
No job is worth this.
Then what do you think
this is worth?
HENRY: Spontaneous
cellular regeneration.
The implications
are staggering.
Surgeries, amputations,
organ transplants,
all could become
a thing of the past.
It could change
the entire face of medicine.
Think how much relief
this will give everyone.
Well, except for surgeons.
Oh, and hospitals.
And the guys
who make Band-Aids.
HENRY:
An amazing transformation!
A little too amazing.
Carlson's not just
a researcher anymore.
He's the research.
He's finally come through.
I'd think you'd be happy.
Look, I'll be the first one
to jump up and down if he can
replicate the results.
But until then,
he needs to be studied.
Dr. Stark.
I have some numbers
for you to sign off on.
Thank you.
If you'll excuse me.
I think we found the source
of the exotic particles.
There was an electro-magnetic
breach in the floor
above Section Five.
Which room?
I can't say. The room
doesn't appear on any of
the published schematics.
It's classified, and I'm not,
so, unless you wanna up
my security clearance?
Yeah, give it to me.
Oh, that's not possible.
There's 20 layers of concrete
and charged-particle
barricades surrounding
the room.
What's in there
that's so dangerous?
When I perfect this formula,
I can make you invincible.
That's a very
generous offer, Carl,
but I think I'm gonna
have to pass.
Really? Why?
Think about it.
You won't be afraid
of death any more.
I'm not sure if
that's a good idea.
Besides, fear's what
keeps you sharp, right?
You know,
buy me a beer some time.
Tickets to a ball game.
Something.
I've never been
to a ball game.
All that spilled food
on the ground,
fermenting in beer and filth
always used to make
my skin crawl when I used
to think about it.
Well, when you
put it like that,
it's no wonder.
Well, it's interesting.
It doesn't bother me any more.
In a strange way,
it's almost appealing.
Ever since the accident,
I have had this bizarre
life craving.
Sounds like
you feel pregnant.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, in a strange way
actually, I do.
It's like a light's
been turned on.
It's like I've been reborn.
Just came for the patch.
Your exam is over.
So I passed?
Yes. You are officially
insured by Global Dynamic's
life and health.
I still say
it's tempting fate.
Yeah, well, now you can go
get your ribs checked out.
You do at least
have them wrapped?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Do you have an ace bandage?
No. Fresh out.
SARAH: Yes you do, sheriff,
in your gym bag. Upstairs.
Bedroom closet.
Okay, that's really
disconcerting.
Yeah, you get used to it.
Traitor.
Come on.
(CARTER GROANS)
ALLISON: Come on.
CARTER: Okay.
I'm worried about Carl.
I think there's something
going on with him.
I mean, besides
the invincibility thing.
Well, he seems to think
it's a good thing.
Can't believe I'm saying this,
but I think I'm gonna
miss the old Carl.
All right, now
I'm gonna have to get
your head checked, too.
(CHUCKLES)
I... He's not right.
Well, Henry's running
a full battery of tests,
so hopefully they'll
tell us what happened.
Yeah.
Okay, so how's that?
That's better.
Good. Well, maybe now
you'll get some sleep.
Yeah.
Here. Come on, lay down.
All right.
(GROANS)
Come on.
Yeah, that's the one thing
Fargo got right about
this place is the mattress.
(EXCLAIMS)
It's a prototype for
a body-contouring silicon.
Really?
Oh, my God!
Yeah, I know.
I need one of these.
I think everybody
needs one of these.
All right,
I'm getting up.
Okay.
(EXHALES)
All right, I need
to get outta here.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
And now some regenerative gel.
(SIGHS)
It's not healing.
I'm doing everything
exactly the same way.
I don't understand.
(BLOWS AIR)
(SIZZLING)
My cells are regenerating,
but what am I doing wrong?
(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)
SARAH: Good morning, Zoe.
I win.
(GROANS)
Hey.
Oh, I think I fell asleep.
I think you might have.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh,
I have to pick up Kevin
from his friend's house.
I had a purse.
It's...
SARAH: Your purse is
downstairs, Miss Blake.
All right,
that's really disconcerting.
You know what, put that on.
Thanks.
So...
See you at Global.
Yeah.
Allison?
Huh?
Thanks for stopping by.
Yeah.
(GROANS)
HENRY: I've reviewed
all the test results,
and it's absolutely amazing.
I mean, you won't believe
what's going on
with Carl's blood work.
Hey, good morning, guys.
Morning.
Morning.
Weren't you wearing
that yesterday?
No. Just similar.
No, don't look at me.
I wear the same thing
every day.
I found traces of radiation
in his white cells
and his exotic particle
count is off the charts.
Is there any chance that
the explosion could've caused
that radiation to leak
from an adjacent lab?
Not that I'm aware of.
Well, whatever Carl
was exposed to,
it's created a spontaneous
genetic mutation that is
accelerating rapidly.
We just have to figure out
what those mutations
are doing to him.
Whatever it takes, Henry.
What am I doing wrong?
(DOOR OPENS)
Doctor Carlson, here are
the biliary epithelial cells
you requested.
I asked for nonparenchymal
progenitor cells!
The lab tech said that
Dr. Carlson attacked him
telekinetically.
I wouldn't discount it.
Seriously?
When I first looked
at Carl's blood work,
I thought the explosion had
somehow reprogrammed his cells
to spontaneously regenerate.
It didn't?
No.
The cells aren't doing
the work, his brain is.
Here. Take a look at this.
HENRY: Now, most people use
maybe 10% of their brain
at any one time.
This mutation has
allowed Carl to access
all 100% of his brain.
Okay, well,
maybe I'm only accessing
five percent of mine,
but that would just
make him smarter, right?
Like, not invincible.
HENRY: The mind has powers
that are completely uncharted.
Tibetan monks have been using
meditation to promote healing
for centuries.
Maybe one day man will
evolve to the point that
he no longer needs doctors.
He'll be able to heal himself
with thought.
But not for
thousands of years.
Tens of thousands even,
if ever.
Carl is already there.
And he's still evolving.
But into what?
Hey, buddy.
I guess you heard
about the incident.
Yeah.
I don't understand
what's happening.
It appears that you were
exposed to something
during the explosion
that's altered
your brain functioning.
That is why you're able
to heal so quickly.
So, my research is a failure.
I didn't do this.
CARTER: No.
No, yeah, yeah, you did.
Just with your mind.
I guess that's why I can't
get this out of my head.
What is it?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
It's like a song
that you can't think
of the name of.
I'm starting to sense things.
Feelings and
thoughts.
Do you know what this is?
No.
Dr. Carlson,
I think it's time
we went somewhere
to run some more
specific tests.
Why?
Determine
what's happening to you.
I think you want to study me.
The way you want
to study that.
(DRUMS ON TABLE)
Dr. Carlson.
I think he's evolving
a little faster
than we thought.
Beverly.
Carl.
You scared me.
CARL: Something happened
to me.
It...
It's happening to me.
And it's something
that I didn't create
and I can't control it.
It's okay.
I feel connected to everything
at the same time
(STUTTERING)
And I'm seeing images.
I'm hearing thoughts.
It's just remarkable.
But it's a little scary.
Come.
I'm here.
Whatever you need, Carl,
I can help you.
(VOICES MURMURING)
You don't wanna help me.
You want me to help you
to get into Section Five.
I wanna do what's
best for you, Carl.
I'm so stupid.
I thought that
you cared for me.
I do care for you, Carl.
You're a liar.
Carl.
WOMAN 1: I always knew
he'd snap one day.
(VOICES MURMURING)
WOMAN 2: So much promise.
MAN 1: A waste, a waste.
VINCENT: I thought
he was strange before.
(PEOPLE GASP)
Carl!
Carl, slow down.
Carl.
I'm a friend, remember?
I thought I'd created
something incredible.
I know.
But it was something
at Global. Some...
Strange kind of radiation?
How did you know?
Because I was thinking it?
Loud and clear.
Okay, that's
a little disturbing.
So, then, you know
that the only place that can
help you is Global.
I go back there,
they'll never let me leave.
Trust me.
(CAR TIRES SCREECHING)
MAN: Come on! Let's go!
Carl, you've gotta trust me.
I'll take it
from here, Carter.
We're doing
just fine, thanks.
Carter.
Nathan.
Okay, the two of you,
just take a breath.
Dr. Carlson...
OFFICER: Move in!
...let me help you.
Before it's too late.
You don't wanna help me,
you wanna use me.
Why would I wanna do that?
'Cause you think I'm the key.
The key to what?
Nothing.
To Section Five.
To his precious artifact.
What is he talking about?
I have no idea.
The sad thing is
you really don't know
what it is, do you?
You're obsessed
with this object
you know absolutely
nothing about.
Do you?
Carl, you can't leave.
Wait!
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)
Carter!
Carter, damn it.
He's not breathing.
Call for help!
ALLISON: We're losing him!
I know what to do.
Get him back to Global! Now!
ALLISON: Please let me call in
a trauma surgeon.
It's not working!
I have to get closer to it,
the artifact.
You can't.
It's the only way.
We have to go
to Section Five. Now.
Wait here.
What? No!
I'm coming with you.
You're not authorized.
Nathan, this is ridiculous!
The man is dying!
Allie.
If we're gonna do this,
we have to do it alone.
Trust me.
(ALARM BLARING)
That's close enough.
Set him down.
CARL: Hey, welcome back,
Sheriff.
NATHAN: Come on, Carter.
You okay?
There you go, come on.
Get him to the infirmary.
MAN: Yes, sir.
Carlson, wait!
Don't do it, Carl.
It's gonna be all right.
It'll destroy you.
I'm not afraid.
Carl, please.
I have to know.
What is it?
One day you will know.
Question is,
will you be ready?
I am.
ALLISON: You sure
you want to do this?
Absolutely.
We've waited long enough.
Because now I'm having
second thoughts.
This was your idea.
Exactly,
and I don't want you
to blame me for
talking you into it.
Oh, hey,
if there's one thing
I've learned from Carl,
it's to take some risks.
Now, come on.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Okay.
Just sign and date here,
and you will be
100% insured.
Well, without Carl around,
maybe I won't be needing it.
Where'd he get
reassigned anyway?
I don't know.
Nathan had it classified.
Figures.
I'm gonna miss him.
All right, here goes nothing.
What made you
change your mind?
Well, can't let fear
run your life, right?
No, we can't.
I need to know.
(SIGHS)
I need to know.
MAN ON RADIO:
A huge round of thanks
to all the volunteers...
Carter.
What you doing?
I'm the sheriff.
I'm sheriffing.
You were supposed meet me
at Global a half an hour ago
for your physical.
Yeah, good news.
I gave myself the physical
and I'm in perfect health.
All right, it's mandatory.
You can't be insured
by Global without one.
Yeah, now's not a good time.
We're really,
really, super busy.
Okay, this is the third time
you've put this off.
What's up?
Do you really wanna know?
No, I just enjoy
our morning banter.
Because I don't want to die.
Isn't that
the whole point of taking
the physical, Carter?
No, that's tempting fate.
Insure a cop today,
he takes a bullet tomorrow.
Oh, what are you,
superstitious?
It's not superstition
if it's true, which it is.
Okay, you know what?
You're not grasping
the point here.
If you don't
take the physical,
you don't have a job.
So, strip. We'll just
do the physical here.
Excuse me?
Oh, we all have a past.
This was mine.
So, time's a-wasting.
Drop 'em.
I'm gonna need to
see some credentials
if you are a doctor.
Was a doctor,
before Kevin was born.
But I still think
I remember where
all the main parts are.
So drop your pants.
No.
There'll be no pant dropping
without a nice dinner
and many, many cocktails.
(PHONE RINGING)
Deputy Lupo.
This is Carlson.
Where's Cobb?
Dr. Carlson...
Calm down.
Who is it?
I'm trying to...
Just breathe.
...standing here
in the middle of...
Okay, get a paper bag...
What?
Breathe into it.
Who is that?
Carl Carlson.
He 911s all the time.
We can ignore it.
Not on my watch.
Carter.
Sorry, Allison.
Gotta go.
Protect and serve.
Wait for it.
Where am I going, exactly?
Hello? Don't put me on hold
or I'll kill you!
Carl Carlson?
You're not Sheriff Cobb.
No.
Sheriff Cobb retired.
I took his place.
There was a town meeting
and everything...
I gave a speech.
I don't get out much.
I'm gathering.
Jack Carter.
Do you have any idea
how many strains of
bacteria are transmitted
by hand-to-hand contact?
No. But I'm guessing
you do.
Oh, yeah, well,
I'm really sorry,
but I don't think
this is gonna work out.
I need Sheriff Cobb.
You're still
not Sheriff Cobb.
Yeah, we established that.
But since I'm here, what is
your emergency exactly?
I have to get to work.
You called 911
to bum a ride?
It's a very big day for me.
Sheriff Cobb always
used to give me a ride
on very big days.
Driving makes me
very nervous.
It's okay, Carl.
I'm here.
Client of yours?
Six years running.
Why didn't you tell me
that there's a new sheriff?
It came about
rather unexpectedly,
and I didn't want
to panic you until we had
time to process it.
Yeah, well, now I'm panicking,
because this is a defining day
in my research
and I have absolutely
no way of getting to work!
I'm sure Sheriff Carter
will be happy to drive you.
Yeah.
You know, he is
a former U.S. Marshal.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Okay.
Only if he puts
the lights on.
Well, that was
surprisingly easy.
He must like you.
Beverly, I don't run
a taxi service.
He's on the verge
of a major breakthrough.
More like a major breakdown.
He's pioneering the field
of cellular regeneration.
You would be helping him
help everyone else
if you do this.
What are we waiting for?
You're making me late.
I used to have a real job.
You're doing a good thing.
Carl!
And remember,
lights but no siren.
Right.
Okay. I got you here
in one piece.
Well, next time,
if you wouldn't mind
cleaning out your car...
There won't be
a next time.
Best of luck.
What do you mean?
You're not coming to my lab?
No, I've got...
Today's the day I go
for all the marbles...
I've got a thing and then
I have another thing.
Oh, 'cause Sheriff Cobb
always used to.
Okay, for the last time, Carl,
I'm not Sheriff Cobb.
I'm an officer of the law,
and I just can't...
Mr. Stark, can I get
your signature, please?
ALLISON: Carter!
...get enough of the science
in this town.
Oh, good!
Yeah, so what is
this breakthrough?
It's a remarkable...
I am so tired of that man.
What is it with
you and Carter?
Not Carter, Carlson.
The man's
been here for six years,
he hasn't produced anything.
He's literally more trouble
than he's worth.
Is this really necessary?
I can't risk introducing
new strains of bacteria
into the test area.
Could you
step back, please?
I said step back.
I'm attempting to achieve
"adhesion affinity gradient"
in the proximal blastemal
cells in human tissue.
I'm glad
someone's on that.
Yes.
You know,
when a lizard loses its tail,
it grows back.
It's called
cellular regeneration.
I'm trying to do
the same thing with people.
Well, that's cool.
Beverly encourages me
to take risks
and not wimp out
when I'm on the verge
of something new.
Moment of truth.
One drop.
One drop only.
(SIGHS)
Uh-oh.
What do you mean "uh-oh"?
(GROANS)
ALLISON:
If you'd come to my office
for your physical,
you might not have
been hurt physically.
Well, Dr. Blake,
if you hadn't have tried
to give me a physical,
then I wouldn't have had to
have gone through such
extreme measures to avoid it.
You got off
lucky, Carter.
Well, not as lucky as him.
OFFICER: What happened?
I don't know. It could be
the new tungsten alloy rotor
I installed in the centrifuge.
It could be...
You know what?
Dichloride heptoxide
is unstable when heated
and that's what
probably happened.
In fact I'm sure that
that's what happened.
Probably happened.
Allison, I'm gonna need
Form 395 Tack Two-Charlie.
Nathan...
My call.
He's all yours, Carter.
All mine?
What's Form 395
Tack Two-Charlie?
Revocation
of Government Clearances
and Property.
Carl is being fired.
It is your job as sheriff
to oversee
the safe and orderly removal
of all ex-employees
from Eureka.
What does that entail?
ALLISON: Technicians
from Global Dynamics
will pack up anything
that belongs to Dr. Carlson
and confiscate anything
that doesn't.
They'll review
his personal documents
and redact
any classified information.
Dr. Carlson will then be
scanned to make sure
he's not concealing
any classified materials.
A Global Dynamics
Human Resource counselor
will provide Dr. Carlson
with a new résumé,
replacing his tenure at Global
with a plausible government
research project,
complete with
applicable references.
Every molecule of my life
has been erased.
That's our goal.
Have a good day.
Don't touch me.
I'm really sorry
about this, Carl.
Yeah, where am I
gonna sleep?
I'm sure Beverly has a place.
Oh, she's not returning
my calls.
Besides, I cannot sleep
in a public bed.
If Sheriff Cobb were here,
he'd let me stay with him.
But he's not here.
Step two...
Carl, I happen to live
in a hermetically-sealed
military bunker...
Perfect! Thank you!
I'll just call Beverly
and let her know
where I'm staying,
if I had a phone,
'cause I don't have one,
'cause they took it!
So I don't have one.
Can I borrow...
Yeah...
Thank you.
I got a...
CARTER: Hey.
So, you moonlighting
at Staples?
Form 395 Tack Two-Charlie.
Carl has to complete these
before he's allowed
to leave Eureka.
Well, so much
for your paperless society.
Well, these will get filed
with the DOD.
They're not quite down
with the "Save the Tree"
mentality as of yet.
Oh, and that's for you.
Ow!
Oh, yeah, it'll hurt
a lot more if
you try to take it off.
What the hell is it?
Wireless body sensor.
In other words,
portable physical.
It's taking
constant measurements
of your vital signs,
organ functions,
and blood chemistry.
I feel so violated.
Oh, I'll be monitoring you.
Allison!
Blood pressure!
Make sure he signs
every page.
(GROANS)
Beverly, it's Carl again.
Please, pick up
if you're there.
I know you told me
that with risk
come great rewards.
Well, I'm having
a little trouble
seeing what those rewards
are at this moment.
Beverly, listen,
I'm being redacted.
I'm being exiled
out of Eureka.
You need to call me.
Okay, well, actually,
you'll have to call
Carter's phone,
not me, 'cause
they took my phone.
That was him.
This is
an unfortunate setback.
It's okay.
Carl Carlson may no longer
be a viable candidate
for our objectives.
However, a new target
has been identified.
You asked to see me, sir?
NATHAN: Yes, Fargo.
I need you to lead
the investigation
on the explosion
in Dr. Carlson's lab.
Wow! Thank you, sir.
I'm honored.
Just keep the findings
between us until
I tell you otherwise.
On the down low.
Got it.
SARAH, Door!
SARAH: Welcome,
Sheriff Carter.
Hey, what's up?
Organic Chemistry
is gonna kill me.
What happened to you?
Organic chemistry
almost killed me.
Oh, we're going to have
a houseguest tonight,
so remember to pick up.
Good going, Dad.
Is it Allison or Jo?
SARAH, beer!
SARAH: Yes, Sheriff.
What?
Well, see, I have a bet
going with Vincent.
See, if I win, then he's going
to make me breakfast
in bed for a month.
And if he wins,
I wait tables.
Neither. Stop wagering
on my love life
or lack thereof.
All right, so who's
this lucky person?
It's a researcher
who got canned today.
He'll be over just as
soon as he finishes off
some paperwork,
which could take a while.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Don't.
Carter.
It's Carl.
Hey, Carl. You done already?
No.
Listen, I wanna thank you
for the generous offer,
but I don't think
I'm going to be needing
a place to sleep tonight.
Carl, where are you?
I'm just cleaning.
Cleaning what?
You're place is empty.
The railing
of the Da Vinci Bridge.
Don't move.
I'll be right there.
SARAH, door!
(SIREN WAILING)
Hey, Carl.
CARL: Hi.
You wanna
come back here?
Why?
My whole life's a failure.
Blew up six years
of research,
got fired, ended up
with nothing but
my toothbrush,
all before lunch.
Okay.
This was a setback.
My work is my life.
And without it, I'm nothing.
No, you're something.
You're...
You're a nice guy.
I irritate you.
I irritate everybody,
it's not surprising.
I'm irritating.
Well...
You're colorful.
Don't patronize me, Sheriff.
All right.
Well...
If you're going, then...
Hold on.
What are you doing?
No! No!
Don't, don't.
When I get nervous,
I get very confused.
If I get confused,
I might...
Fall?
Yes. I'm glad
you understand.
Oh!
(STUTTERING) I don't think
you wanna do this.
I get it.
I mean, you've had
a really rotten day,
and everything sucks.
Okay.
Why don't we just
climb back over
and talk about it?
Huh?
You know, go grab a beer?
Make fun of Stark?
What do you say?
I never grabbed a beer
with anybody in my life.
Today's the first drink
of the rest of your life
if you don't jump.
You think
we could be friends, huh?
I think that's what
the beer is for.
What do I do?
I don't know what to do.
Take it real slow.
I can't do it slow,
I gotta...
Okay. Okay.
Gotta do it really fast.
Give me your hand.
Okay. Come on!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(BEEPING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
CARTER: Carter.
Carter, are you all right?
(GROANING) Not sure.
Still taking stock.
How did you know?
Well, your blood pressure
spiked,
your adrenals
went into overdrive,
and your white cell count
suggests you may have
broken something.
Well, I fell down.
A long way down.
Are you sure you're okay?
(GRUNTS)
Where's Carl?
What do you mean
"Where's Carl?"
I thought you were
staying on top of him.
Believe me, I was.
Call you later.
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
Henry? Henry?
HENRY: Carl?
Listen, I heard
the news, and...
I have to talk to you.
What happened to your head?
What?
Your head!
Oh!
Yeah, I took
a bit of a tumble
in more ways than one.
Look, let me
clean that up for you
so it doesn't get infected.
No, no, no.
With those hands?
I don't think so.
Do you have a sink?
Sure, in the back.
There should be
some sanitizing lotion
and disinfectant
in there, too.
Oh, my God!
Oh! Oh!
(EXCLAIMING)
FARGO:
We have preliminary data
on the lab accident.
Looks like there was
a momentary breach
of the EMG
that coincided
with the accident
in Dr. Carlson's lab.
Pulse wave from the ultrafuge
probably caused
a magnetic disturbance.
That's not all.
We're detecting
exotic atomic particles
inside his lab
that I've never
seen before.
And the breach
appears to have come
from below his lab
in Section Five.
Hey, Carter. You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
I think I might have
cracked a rib or three.
What? How?
Funny you should ask.
It's a good story.
(GRUNTS)
A hypothetical guy
falls maybe 50 feet,
lands flat on the ground.
And then another guy
weighing 180 falls
and lands on top of him.
Okay, what is the chance
of the hypothetical guy
getting up and walking away?
Well, whether I use
single case probability
or an application
of Bayesian statistics,
the outcome is the same.
Slim to none.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Look, this hypothetical guy,
is that you?
No. I landed
on the hypothetical guy,
though.
It was Carl Carlson.
What? Carl was just here!
I mean, he did look
pretty beat up,
but certainly didn't look
like a guy who fell 50 feet.
Doesn't make any sense.
I gotta find him.
You might want
to find a doctor.
Yeah, okay.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Vincent.
A beer.
VINCENT: Okay.
But you don't drink alcohol
and I don't serve you any more
since you brought in
the health inspector.
There was a fly in my soup.
You sensed
a fly in your soup!
I may have overreacted.
Hey, you overreact
a lot, mate.
That's why you're out.
Number of
animal distress calls
I've made to your house?
I'd have canned you
years ago.
Yes, Taggart, you're right.
I used to be a man
afraid of everything.
But all that will change.
Starting now.
Beverly.
Carl, oh, my God,
what happened?
Are you okay?
I'm better than okay.
I'm really sorry
that I couldn't take
your calls.
Global revoked
your therapy privileges.
Totally understandable.
Why would you take my calls?
I was a loser.
But I'm a new man
now, Beverly.
You told me to take risks
and you were right.
You're touching my skin
without gloves!
Without disinfectant.
Fear kept me
from living, Beverly.
Kept me from
trying the things
at I wanted to try
and doing the things
I wanted to do.
But something extraordinary
happened to me today,
and all that's changed.
I wanted to say thank you.
I've always wanted
to do that.
Who hasn't?
Even I've thought
about it.
And now, Beverly,
if you'll excuse me.
Good night, boys.
Well, well. Dr. Stark.
CARL: Stark?
Carlson.
I would've thought
you'd been redacted by now.
Oh, I have been.
You took away the only thing
that I ever cared about.
You're gonna regret it.
You and I both know
I should've done that
a long time ago.
CARTER: Carl!
I've been looking
everywhere for you.
What happened?
Carl! No!
Carlson.
No job is worth this.
Then what do you think
this is worth?
HENRY: Spontaneous
cellular regeneration.
The implications
are staggering.
Surgeries, amputations,
organ transplants,
all could become
a thing of the past.
It could change
the entire face of medicine.
Think how much relief
this will give everyone.
Well, except for surgeons.
Oh, and hospitals.
And the guys
who make Band-Aids.
HENRY:
An amazing transformation!
A little too amazing.
Carlson's not just
a researcher anymore.
He's the research.
He's finally come through.
I'd think you'd be happy.
Look, I'll be the first one
to jump up and down if he can
replicate the results.
But until then,
he needs to be studied.
Dr. Stark.
I have some numbers
for you to sign off on.
Thank you.
If you'll excuse me.
I think we found the source
of the exotic particles.
There was an electro-magnetic
breach in the floor
above Section Five.
Which room?
I can't say. The room
doesn't appear on any of
the published schematics.
It's classified, and I'm not,
so, unless you wanna up
my security clearance?
Yeah, give it to me.
Oh, that's not possible.
There's 20 layers of concrete
and charged-particle
barricades surrounding
the room.
What's in there
that's so dangerous?
When I perfect this formula,
I can make you invincible.
That's a very
generous offer, Carl,
but I think I'm gonna
have to pass.
Really? Why?
Think about it.
You won't be afraid
of death any more.
I'm not sure if
that's a good idea.
Besides, fear's what
keeps you sharp, right?
You know,
buy me a beer some time.
Tickets to a ball game.
Something.
I've never been
to a ball game.
All that spilled food
on the ground,
fermenting in beer and filth
always used to make
my skin crawl when I used
to think about it.
Well, when you
put it like that,
it's no wonder.
Well, it's interesting.
It doesn't bother me any more.
In a strange way,
it's almost appealing.
Ever since the accident,
I have had this bizarre
life craving.
Sounds like
you feel pregnant.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, in a strange way
actually, I do.
It's like a light's
been turned on.
It's like I've been reborn.
Just came for the patch.
Your exam is over.
So I passed?
Yes. You are officially
insured by Global Dynamic's
life and health.
I still say
it's tempting fate.
Yeah, well, now you can go
get your ribs checked out.
You do at least
have them wrapped?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Do you have an ace bandage?
No. Fresh out.
SARAH: Yes you do, sheriff,
in your gym bag. Upstairs.
Bedroom closet.
Okay, that's really
disconcerting.
Yeah, you get used to it.
Traitor.
Come on.
(CARTER GROANS)
ALLISON: Come on.
CARTER: Okay.
I'm worried about Carl.
I think there's something
going on with him.
I mean, besides
the invincibility thing.
Well, he seems to think
it's a good thing.
Can't believe I'm saying this,
but I think I'm gonna
miss the old Carl.
All right, now
I'm gonna have to get
your head checked, too.
(CHUCKLES)
I... He's not right.
Well, Henry's running
a full battery of tests,
so hopefully they'll
tell us what happened.
Yeah.
Okay, so how's that?
That's better.
Good. Well, maybe now
you'll get some sleep.
Yeah.
Here. Come on, lay down.
All right.
(GROANS)
Come on.
Yeah, that's the one thing
Fargo got right about
this place is the mattress.
(EXCLAIMS)
It's a prototype for
a body-contouring silicon.
Really?
Oh, my God!
Yeah, I know.
I need one of these.
I think everybody
needs one of these.
All right,
I'm getting up.
Okay.
(EXHALES)
All right, I need
to get outta here.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
And now some regenerative gel.
(SIGHS)
It's not healing.
I'm doing everything
exactly the same way.
I don't understand.
(BLOWS AIR)
(SIZZLING)
My cells are regenerating,
but what am I doing wrong?
(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)
SARAH: Good morning, Zoe.
I win.
(GROANS)
Hey.
Oh, I think I fell asleep.
I think you might have.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh,
I have to pick up Kevin
from his friend's house.
I had a purse.
It's...
SARAH: Your purse is
downstairs, Miss Blake.
All right,
that's really disconcerting.
You know what, put that on.
Thanks.
So...
See you at Global.
Yeah.
Allison?
Huh?
Thanks for stopping by.
Yeah.
(GROANS)
HENRY: I've reviewed
all the test results,
and it's absolutely amazing.
I mean, you won't believe
what's going on
with Carl's blood work.
Hey, good morning, guys.
Morning.
Morning.
Weren't you wearing
that yesterday?
No. Just similar.
No, don't look at me.
I wear the same thing
every day.
I found traces of radiation
in his white cells
and his exotic particle
count is off the charts.
Is there any chance that
the explosion could've caused
that radiation to leak
from an adjacent lab?
Not that I'm aware of.
Well, whatever Carl
was exposed to,
it's created a spontaneous
genetic mutation that is
accelerating rapidly.
We just have to figure out
what those mutations
are doing to him.
Whatever it takes, Henry.
What am I doing wrong?
(DOOR OPENS)
Doctor Carlson, here are
the biliary epithelial cells
you requested.
I asked for nonparenchymal
progenitor cells!
The lab tech said that
Dr. Carlson attacked him
telekinetically.
I wouldn't discount it.
Seriously?
When I first looked
at Carl's blood work,
I thought the explosion had
somehow reprogrammed his cells
to spontaneously regenerate.
It didn't?
No.
The cells aren't doing
the work, his brain is.
Here. Take a look at this.
HENRY: Now, most people use
maybe 10% of their brain
at any one time.
This mutation has
allowed Carl to access
all 100% of his brain.
Okay, well,
maybe I'm only accessing
five percent of mine,
but that would just
make him smarter, right?
Like, not invincible.
HENRY: The mind has powers
that are completely uncharted.
Tibetan monks have been using
meditation to promote healing
for centuries.
Maybe one day man will
evolve to the point that
he no longer needs doctors.
He'll be able to heal himself
with thought.
But not for
thousands of years.
Tens of thousands even,
if ever.
Carl is already there.
And he's still evolving.
But into what?
Hey, buddy.
I guess you heard
about the incident.
Yeah.
I don't understand
what's happening.
It appears that you were
exposed to something
during the explosion
that's altered
your brain functioning.
That is why you're able
to heal so quickly.
So, my research is a failure.
I didn't do this.
CARTER: No.
No, yeah, yeah, you did.
Just with your mind.
I guess that's why I can't
get this out of my head.
What is it?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
It's like a song
that you can't think
of the name of.
I'm starting to sense things.
Feelings and
thoughts.
Do you know what this is?
No.
Dr. Carlson,
I think it's time
we went somewhere
to run some more
specific tests.
Why?
Determine
what's happening to you.
I think you want to study me.
The way you want
to study that.
(DRUMS ON TABLE)
Dr. Carlson.
I think he's evolving
a little faster
than we thought.
Beverly.
Carl.
You scared me.
CARL: Something happened
to me.
It...
It's happening to me.
And it's something
that I didn't create
and I can't control it.
It's okay.
I feel connected to everything
at the same time
(STUTTERING)
And I'm seeing images.
I'm hearing thoughts.
It's just remarkable.
But it's a little scary.
Come.
I'm here.
Whatever you need, Carl,
I can help you.
(VOICES MURMURING)
You don't wanna help me.
You want me to help you
to get into Section Five.
I wanna do what's
best for you, Carl.
I'm so stupid.
I thought that
you cared for me.
I do care for you, Carl.
You're a liar.
Carl.
WOMAN 1: I always knew
he'd snap one day.
(VOICES MURMURING)
WOMAN 2: So much promise.
MAN 1: A waste, a waste.
VINCENT: I thought
he was strange before.
(PEOPLE GASP)
Carl!
Carl, slow down.
Carl.
I'm a friend, remember?
I thought I'd created
something incredible.
I know.
But it was something
at Global. Some...
Strange kind of radiation?
How did you know?
Because I was thinking it?
Loud and clear.
Okay, that's
a little disturbing.
So, then, you know
that the only place that can
help you is Global.
I go back there,
they'll never let me leave.
Trust me.
(CAR TIRES SCREECHING)
MAN: Come on! Let's go!
Carl, you've gotta trust me.
I'll take it
from here, Carter.
We're doing
just fine, thanks.
Carter.
Nathan.
Okay, the two of you,
just take a breath.
Dr. Carlson...
OFFICER: Move in!
...let me help you.
Before it's too late.
You don't wanna help me,
you wanna use me.
Why would I wanna do that?
'Cause you think I'm the key.
The key to what?
Nothing.
To Section Five.
To his precious artifact.
What is he talking about?
I have no idea.
The sad thing is
you really don't know
what it is, do you?
You're obsessed
with this object
you know absolutely
nothing about.
Do you?
Carl, you can't leave.
Wait!
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)
Carter!
Carter, damn it.
He's not breathing.
Call for help!
ALLISON: We're losing him!
I know what to do.
Get him back to Global! Now!
ALLISON: Please let me call in
a trauma surgeon.
It's not working!
I have to get closer to it,
the artifact.
You can't.
It's the only way.
We have to go
to Section Five. Now.
Wait here.
What? No!
I'm coming with you.
You're not authorized.
Nathan, this is ridiculous!
The man is dying!
Allie.
If we're gonna do this,
we have to do it alone.
Trust me.
(ALARM BLARING)
That's close enough.
Set him down.
CARL: Hey, welcome back,
Sheriff.
NATHAN: Come on, Carter.
You okay?
There you go, come on.
Get him to the infirmary.
MAN: Yes, sir.
Carlson, wait!
Don't do it, Carl.
It's gonna be all right.
It'll destroy you.
I'm not afraid.
Carl, please.
I have to know.
What is it?
One day you will know.
Question is,
will you be ready?
I am.
ALLISON: You sure
you want to do this?
Absolutely.
We've waited long enough.
Because now I'm having
second thoughts.
This was your idea.
Exactly,
and I don't want you
to blame me for
talking you into it.
Oh, hey,
if there's one thing
I've learned from Carl,
it's to take some risks.
Now, come on.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Okay.
Just sign and date here,
and you will be
100% insured.
Well, without Carl around,
maybe I won't be needing it.
Where'd he get
reassigned anyway?
I don't know.
Nathan had it classified.
Figures.
I'm gonna miss him.
All right, here goes nothing.
What made you
change your mind?
Well, can't let fear
run your life, right?
No, we can't.
