Eureka (2006–2012): Season 1, Episode 6 - Dr. Nobel - full transcript

ZOE: This place rots.
Stupid, boring,
quiet, boring,

one-horse, boring town.
Why do I have to burn
my Saturday volunteering?

Oh, you're not volunteering.

It's called
community service.

And you wouldn't
be doing it if you didn't
pull the fire alarm

during your I.Q. Test.

I wouldn't be doing it
if you hadn't arrested me.

You know, sometimes
it sucks have a dad
who's the town smokey.

Well, sometimes it sucks
having a daughter who's
the town delinquent.

I take it back.

Gee, thanks.



It always sucks.

(LAUGHING)

Please, don't
make me do this.
I hate old people.

You don't do this,
you won't live to be one.

Can't we just
discuss this?

You're going,
end of discussion.

I will do jail time.

Go. Scoot.

(DOOR CLOSING)

I can't
tell you how much
I appreciate this, sir.

No need
to thank me, Fargo.
You've earned it.

Having your own office
is a right of passage.

It's a symbol
of status and rank.

Tells the world
you've arrived.



(ELEVATOR DOOR OPENING)

Not yet.

Section Five?

Pace yourself.

(BEEPING)

What's down here?

You and your new office.

(KEYS JINGLING)

Congratulations, Fargo.

You deserve
every square foot of it.

Thanks.

What did you do
to get put down here?

I earned it.

Having your own office
is a right of passage.

It's a symbol
of status and rank.

(SCOFFS)
Rank's the word all right.

It smells like
something died in here.

Like, say, the 1970's.

You have no vision.
Once all this junk's gone,

this will be
an exemplary office space.

Just lacking...
A woman's touch?

Style.

Well, you've got a lot
of great stuff in here.

Just, it deserves
our respect.

The dumpster's down the hall
to the left.

Dumpster? No, no, no.

One man's trash
is another man's treasure.

Been nice doing
business with you.

Check this out.

What do you think?
Stereo?

Sure.
First generation iPod.

How do you turn
this thing on?

On?

It's got keyholes.

And we got keys.

I saw some
in the desk over here.

Hey, these two match.

Here. Go unlock your side.

Ready? Set. Go.

Just another old piece
of useless junk.

SPENCER:
That was almost exciting.

(WHIRRING)

(ALARM BLARING)
ELECTRONIC VOICE: Primary
firing sequence initiated.

Weapon will deploy
in 24 hours.

I don't think
I like this station.

Well, car or no car,
it's a 30-mile-an-hour zone.

Don't you have
anything better to do
than harass me?

No. Not really.

(RUMBLING)

Now you do.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Yeah, that can't be good.

(CAR ALARM SOUNDING)

TWIN 1:
What's going on, Sheriff?

CARTER: I was hoping
you could tell me.

This sort of
thing happen often?

Not to my recollection.
I've never seen
anything like it.

It's some sort of ICBM.

ICBM? Please.

Look at the circumference.

Clearly that's an IRBM.

So you guys have
seen this before?

Nope.
Nope.

Thanks, guys. Big help.

What do you
think it is, Sheriff?

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Oh, I know exactly
what it is.

Trouble.

Carter.
ALLISON: It's Allison.
We've got trouble.

That's exactly
what I said. Trouble.

Well, hello.

I'm Doris Stokes,
the director.
You must be Zoe.

Unfortunately.

I've heard
a lot about you.

But everyone deserves
a second chance, right?

Or a third or fourth.

Let's put you
right to work, okay?

Actually, Doris,
see, I usually ease
into my day

with a latte and maybe
some sort of pastry.

Funny.

I understand we have you
for the next 13 Saturdays.

Thirteen?

A hundred hours divided
by eight-hour shifts.

I'm afraid that
three months of Saturdays
is not gonna work for me.

So, why don't you say
we just get the whole thing
over in one fell swoop?

Let's start
with the rec room.

Up and to the side.

WOMAN: Wide circles forward.

Holy crap.

This is the rec room?

It's a nice place to die.

Even nicer place to live.

The residents of Eureka
give so much.

This facility is
our way to give back.

Run out of tennis balls?

I guess all the massages
in the world can't stop you
from losing your mind.

Here.

ANNOUNCER: And deuce.

(CROWD GASPING)

So, Doris, are there
any age restrictions
on getting a room here?

(CHUCKLING)

You've got a darling
sense of humor.

Come on.
I assigned you to Eugenia.

Eugenia, this is Zoe.

She's going to
assist you today.

If I desired assistants,
I'd be living in
an assisted living facility.

Don't mind her.
She has teence
of an attitude problem.

I do not.
I do not.

Oh, you two should
get on just fine.

You smoke?
No.

Drink?
No.

You lying?

Maybe.

What kind of a name
is Zoe anyway?

It's a popular one.

You know,
probably as popular

as Eugenia was back
in the Great Depression.

For once, Doris maybe right.

How's my hair?

Your hair? Oh, it's fine.

How's my hair?
Wait, why are we whispering?

But what matters most
is the matter of how
we handle antimatter.

That used to be me.

Antimatter, unlike matter...

You used to talk to yourself?

No.

He used to talk to me.

It had to come
from somewhere.

Keep looking.
MAN: Yes, sir, Dr. Stark.

Allison,
glad to see you.
Sheriff.

Scientist.

Which one of your guys
is responsible

for the Cuban
Missile Crisis popping up
all over town?

They're not missiles.

Really?

Because I have a town
full of extremely
anxious people

who think they look a lot
like missiles.

What are they, Nathan?
And why do they look
a lot like missiles?

We're working on it.

So, you don't know?
He doesn't know.

Don't touch the buttons.

I have to call this in
to the D.O.D.

Not yet.
We have plenty of time
to figure this out.

Well, I can only wait
so long and I'll need
to have answers.

Like what are these
things that look a lot
like missiles,

but aren't,
popping up all over

your top-secret
little town?

Give us a little room,
people.

Sorry, but Henry's
a lot smarter and faster
than me...

Fargo, Fargo,
it's the best decision
you made all day. Henry?

Well, it's definitely
a weapon and this machine
controls it.

Well, tell me more than that.
It's set to discharge a huge
ionosphere particle beam.

FARGO: Oh, jeez.
Okay, okay,

this ion beam thingy
is what exactly?

Irradiated uranium isotopes.
Oh, God.

Death ray.
Why don't you just
say death ray?

I've searched
your entire database.

There's not one
single record of silos,

or irradiated isotopes,
or ionosphere particle beams.

Try death ray?

It's as if the machine
never existed.

Did you try turning it off?

Oh, why didn't I
think of that?

Fargo, turn the machine off.

And that's a stupid question?

I mean, you did
just turn it on, right?

That was an accident.
Jack,
this machine was built

at the height
of the Cold War.

There is no off switch.

Could you cut
the power source?

And risk there's a fail-safe
and it fires immediately?

I take that as a no.
How much time do we have?

ELECTRONIC VOICE:
Weapon will deploy
in 23 hours.

Well, finally
a straight answer.

CARTER: We need to arrange
for transport trucks and
establish evacuation routes.

Make emergency
contingencies for every
location that could be hit.

Yeah, area hospitals
should be prepped
for emergency overflow.

And we'll need to
estimate collateral damage

in and around
the target perimeter.
Good.

You can hear us, right?

Unfortunately.
You're panicking.

We're not panicking,
we're reacting.

You say death ray,
we have a reaction.

You said death ray.

It's a ray, right,

that causes
immediate death?

Yes, it could cause
immediate death.

Could simply blow up
and people here would
immediately die.

It could strike Moscow
and people there would
immediately die.

Then Moscow would retaliate
and people everywhere

would immediate die.

Evacuation's moot.
No place is safe.

Well, you chose
a great time
to be indifferent.

I'm not indifferent,
Sheriff.

I'm focused.

We have 24 hours
and we happen to be

in the most advanced
scientific facility
in the world,

housing the largest
supercomputer
in the world,

populated by
the smartest scientists
in the world.

We have plenty of time
to figure this out

as long as
we don't panic.

FARGO: But we've downloaded,
scanned and decrypted

every file, every schematic
and every piece of paper
of every project

ever developed here
and there's nothing.

Well, maybe not
every piece of paper.

HENRY:
This is every piece of paper
I pulled from Fargo's office.

Something here
has to tell us
about that machine.

Come on.
If scientists are so smart,

how come they don't know
anything about penmanship?

Pardon the alliteration,
but which would you prefer,

penmanship or progress?

Tequila.
Scotch.

Really.

What's it?

It what?
I.T.

It's scribbled at the bottom
of all these pages.

Oh, I don't know maybe,
information technology,

perhaps from the department
from which these
documents originated.

Looks more like
someone's initials.

Well, you are the detective.

Marshal.
Sheriff.

That sounds like a demotion.

(CHUCKLES TRIUMPHANTLY)

Hand me some pics.

What's the shiny thing?
Is that a solar flare?

That shiny thing is a mirror.
Now, you do remember
the moon landing, right?

Oh,

do not tell me
that didn't happen.

No, it happened,
but we didn't go to the moon
just to walk.

We put mirrors
all over the moon

to bounce signals
back to the earth,

telescopic images,
satellite communications.

Death rays?

They weaponized the moon.

I mean, they can bounce
a laser off the moon

and wipe out
any target they want.

What, like tanks and stuff?

No. Cities and stuff.

So, you're telling me
while the world watched,

Neil Armstrong take one
small step for man...

NORAD took a giant
leap for themselves.

Well, with the help
from someone at Global.

Someone with
the initials I.T.

I.T.

Oh, Irvin Thatcher.
It's has to be
Irvin Thatcher.

Irvin Thatcher was
this brilliant scientist
behind MAD.

MADD? Mothers Against
Drunk Driving?

Mutually Assured Destruction.

That MAD.

You said he was
a brilliant scientist.

Was or is?

FRED:
This is easily explained.

The atom nucleus is comprised
of positively-charged protons

and neutrally-charged
neutrons.

When a nucleus
is bombarded by
a neutrally-charged particle,

the result is fission.

You lost me right after,
"This is easily explained."

Okay,
let me try it another way.

Your father is a proton.
Your mother is a neutron.

You are a free radical.

You're caught stealing
CD's in the mall.

You hit your parents
with that news.

What happens?

They go nuclear?
Exactly.

And split.

You think
that I'm the reason
my parents split?

BOTH: No, no, no, no, no.

Zoe? Zoe?

What? I'm doing the job.
I'm helping people.

I'm assisting people.

Fine. Be right back.

Please, carry on.

This is the oppressive jerk
who's all up in your business?

I see you found something
to talk about.

Hi, Sheriff Carter,
nice to meet you.

I'm looking for
a retired scientist.

Swing a cat.

A Dr. Thatcher?
Irvin?

Room 101,
but why do you want...

(SIGHING)

Wait for it.

Hey, room 101,
that would be...

Room 101?
Right this way.

What do you need
him for, Sheriff?

There's a situation.
Even the brainiacs at Global
can't figure it out.

But there is one guy
in town who can

and apparently,
this is the guy.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Dr. Thatcher?
This is the guy?

The question remains
fusion or fission?

Fission? Certainly not.

I haven't been fishin'
since I lived on Lake Erie.

You think that's eerie?

How do you explain
quasar energy paradox?

Or baldness among musicians?

This is the guy.

CARTER: Right this way,
Dr. Thatcher.
IRVIN: This way?

Give the doctor some room.

Sir, sir, right this way.

Dr. Thatcher, it's an honor.

I'm Henry Deacon.

This machine of yours,
it's really something.

It's like a riddle
inside an enigma,

wrapped in ten inches
of titanium alloy.

We're assuming it's similar
to other space-based weapons,

using a single-channel
transponder package.

Or maybe
a survivable, low-frequency
communication system.

In which case,
we'd have to reassess

certain aspects
of our approach.
Guys, go easy.

We need launch codes,
Sheriff.

And easy is not
going to get it.

Neither is
browbeating the man.
So just give him a minute.

(IRVIN MOANING)

Dr. Thatcher?

We think the controls
are behind this panel.

I just can't figure out
how to get to them.

These locking bolts,
are they some kind of
proprietary threading?

Reverse the hex.
Excuse me?

If you want sex,
reverse the hex.

Sheriff, at any point
when you picked him up,

the car ride,
the long walk down here,

happen to notice
this guy's not all there?

Yeah,
there may have been signs.

Righty loosey,
lefty tighty.

Got it.

Bang-up job.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Reverse the hex.

(CHUCKLING)

The screws recede.

It's brilliant.

Okay, Dr. Thatcher,
all I need is a code

to suspend
the launch sequence.

Charlie, Tango, Lima.

No, Charlie never
tangoed in Lima.

He's just tired.
Dr. Thatcher, why don't
you take a seat?

Don't give up, okay?

Up, down, up, down.

(SINGING)
The windows on the bus
go up and down

Up and down,
up and down

Any luck?
The windows on the bus
go up and down

Up and down,
up and down

Up and down

The windows on the bus go

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Why were our kids
sent home from school?

Is there going to be
a missile strike?

Do we need to evacuate?

There's no reason
to panic, folks.

I heard it was a death ray.

That's ridiculous.
That's obviously a rumor.

Started by an idiot.

Who's he?
Is he responsible?

Okay, folks, listen up,
just go on home, okay?

The situation's completely
under control.

It could also be thermal
conductive resistance.

Let me take a look.

Yeah. Looks like they
used the classic formula.

Red for hot, blue for not,
yellow's usually the ground.

So, I guess it's pretty safe
to cut the blue.

What do you think?
ELECTRONIC VOICE: Weapon
will deploy in 20 hours.

Do it.

Launch code
override initiated.

(ALL LAUGHING)
Yes!

Weapon will deploy
in seven hours.

No.

(ALARM BLARING)
Let's not cut
any more wires.

Dr. Thatcher,
I know it's in there.

Just give us a hint.

Gravity.

The natural force
of attraction exerted

by a celestial body
upon objects

at or near its surface.

That's great.
Just be a second.

Look, we have our
best people working on this.

You don't know Nathan,
but he will find a way
to shut it down.

Nothing against
your husband, but...
Ex. Soon to be ex.

But the man with the answers
is sitting right there.

We just need to figure out
how to get them out of him.

What?
What what?

You've got that look
on your face,

like you know something
I should know but
you're not telling me.

Spill.
I can't. It's classified.

It's Nathan's turf,

and there is no way
that he is gonna...

Allison, if we don't stop
this thing, there won't be
any turf.

What is it?

Okay. Gravity. Got it.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

What?

Hey, Allison.

Absolutely not.

That technology
is highly experimental

and far too dangerous
for anyone to...

Carter? Really?

That's just a risk
we may have to take.

So this is basically
a Vulcan mind-meld, right?

Well, the PX-24
allows one person

to probe the consciousness
of another.

In theory, anyway.

In theory?

Well, we haven't
performed a human
test run yet.

Oh.

"In memory of Skippy"?

Oh, he was everyone's
favorite test chimp.

Did he die on this thing?

No.

The autopsy
was inconclusive.

Carter, listen,
I'm not gonna think
any less of you

if you don't
want to do this.

What am I looking for again?

Sequences.
Equations. Codes.
Okay.

Kiss for luck?

Oh, wow.

Last chance
to be a hero, Doc.

Just say the word.

Was worth a shot.

(EXCLAIMING)

(SINGING)
The wheels on the bus
go round and round

Carter, are you okay?

The wheels on the bus
go round and round

IRVIN: Eugenia.

(GROANING)

Okay, I'm stopping this.
No! Keep going.

IRVIN: Stockholm.

Linus Pauling.
Linus Pauling.

Eugenia.
Eugenia.

Eugenia.

Who is Eugenia, Carter?

(GROANING)

IRVIN:
Mutually Assured Destruction.

(GROANING)

(EXCLAIMING)

Did you see
how to stop it?

No.

But I saw what happens
if we don't.

Irvin, we're going to go
and see that girl of yours.
Would you like that?

All right.
Don't play coy
with me, okay?

I've been inside
that big brain of yours.

I know how much
you love her.

That doesn't go away,
does it?

Well, I don't think it does.

And I know that
when you're not thinking
about nuclear holocaust,

you're thinking
about Eugenia.

That's what I thought.

Got you with
the nuclear holocaust
thing, didn't I?

I put a trace
on the hot wire.

The power source
leads out the back.

That is where the machine
is vulnerable.

Now, if we can reach that,
then we can get to the guts
of the thing.

I've got a team
in Section Five

working on a laser
bombardment drill

that will bore right through
the titanium shell.

Yeah, unfortunately
your guys in Section Four

tell me it's not titanium,
it's zirconium carbonite,
which is...

Impenetrable.

But, I believe
we can get there
from here

through the base
of the machine.

If we tunnel down,
under and up,

we'll be directly
behind it and then
I think we've got a shot.

Tell Fargo to give you
anything you need.

And not to touch
anything you don't.

Bad news, good news.
We didn't get anything
from Thatcher,

but Carter wasn't hurt
in the process.

And the good news?

There you go, buddy.
Take a seat.

I'll go look for Eugenia
and you enjoy the view
with a room.

Where is that?

IRVIN: Stockholm.

Linus Pauling.

Royal Palace.
Stockholm. Sweden.

How do you know that?

I don't know. I was there.

When?
Recently.

Do you know
where Eugenia is?

She's not to be disturbed.

Her words, not mine.

Come on. Come on.

This is her.

Eugenia?

Eugenia, it's Zoe.

Has she done
something wrong?
No, no.

Eugenia, it's Sheriff Carter.
I need to talk to you.

Is there something
I should know?
No.

There is, isn't there?

Actually, yeah, yeah.
That crack I made about
you being a delinquent?

Yeah.
Didn't mean it.

You're my girl.

It's really bad, isn't it?
No.

Eugenia!
Eugenia!

Eugenia?

Come in, Jo.

Where are you, Jo?

Come on, Jo.
Talk to us.

We all live here.
We have a right to know
what's going on.

What is the trajectory
of the weapon?

Is there a sea-based
boost phase intercept?

BOTH:
Have the launch protocols
been initiated?

Don't know. Don't know.

Don't know.

MAN: What do you know?
Go home.

We've got everything
under control.

(WHIRRING)

WOMAN: What is that?

Except for that.

Zoe, think.
Did she say anything

about going anywhere,
doing anything?

Not that I remember.

How about family?
Did she ask the kids
to pick her up or something?

It never came up, okay?
Where is that?

The MENSA Think-Off?
Yeah, I seriously doubt
you can compete.

No, the sundial,
where is that?

Copernicus Park.
I can see...

It's on the south side
of the distilled water tower.
Come on.

That's where
I'll find my girl.

I thought I was your girl.

Wait, that sounded weird.

(DRILLING)

Henry...

Henry, how's it...

Henry,
how's the drilling going?

HENRY: This laser bombardment
drill cuts through quartz
like butter!

I should be done drilling
in what, five hours.

ELECTRONIC VOICE:
Weapon will deploy
in four hours.

Drill faster.
Yeah.

Oh, my God, Eugenia.
What...

What are you doing?
How did you even get here?

Henry souped up my chair.
I can go 50 miles
between charges.

So, why have I been
pushing you around all day?

I wanted you to feel good
about yourself,

like you were assisting.

Fine.
I didn't hate the company.

Dad, are you okay?

IRVIN: Eugenia.

Dad, what the hell
are you doing?

Why did you do that?

I'm not sure.

Mind your own business, Zoe.

Sorry.

Your anniversary.
Our anniversary.

Anniversary? Of what?
You and me.

Him, Thatcher.

Anniversary?

He never even proposed.

Yes, he did.

I saw it.

Trust me.
Never happened.

Is dementia contagious?

No, okay,
in his mind he proposed.

I mean right here.
That's why you come here.

I come here
for lunch every day.

This is where we first met.

We'd sit and look at the sky.

He told me
how the stars shined,

how the planets revolved
around the sun,

how his universe
revolved around me.

And then his universe
came crashing down
and mine with it.

What happened?

We were going to
get married in Stockholm

after Irvin won the prize.

The Nobel Prize?

No one imagined Linus Pauling
would win a second Nobel.

It was devastating to Irvin.

He had a complete
mental break the day
of the announcement,

the day he was
going to propose.

The day I lost
the love of my life.

The picture,
the virtual Stockholm.

You must think
I'm a fool pining over
a love that's gone.

It's not gone.

We just have to pick up
where we left off.

Did I say we?

Sorry.

ELECTRONIC VOICE:
Weapon will deploy
in three hours.

Well, there's got to
be something.

I mean, use explosives
to blast through the rest
of the bedrock.

This machine was programmed
as a second-strike
dead man's weapon.

Any kind of explosion and...

I cannot believe
we built this thing
to protect ourselves.

I'm gonna have to
put a call in to the D.O.D.

You can't.
I have to.

You can't.
I think that they'll notice
if we start World War III.

Allison, think about it.

What are you going to say,
we may accidentally
blow up Moscow,

Beijing, Pyongyang
and Stockholm?

Okay, I know how fond
you are of Stockholm, Nathan,

but this is bigger than you.

If you tell them
that we can't stop it,

they're gonna try
and stop it.

They'll nuke us and...
And I know.

Any kind of explosion
can trigger the device.
I get it.

But we're running
out of options.

I beg to differ.
I'm gonna need to borrow
your Nobel.

It was open.

Oh. Sorry.

What in the hell
are you doing?

Going to party
like it's 1962.

I miss Sheriff Cobb.

(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)

You should wear
that dress more often.

Do you think this will work?
Works for me.

Let's hope so.

Oh, Sheriff.

When a light bulb
goes off in your head,

what are we talking,
15, 20 watts?

You have a better idea,
I'd love to hear it.

No? Yeah.
Better get started.

Jo, wow, you look...

No, you look the other way.
NATHAN: Ladies and gentlemen,
and distinguished colleagues,

welcome to Stockholm.

Robert Oppenheimer
famously said,

"The atomic bomb
made the prospect
of future war unendurable."

One man never forgot
those words,

the man we welcome
among us today,

the man whom
the Nobel Committee
of the Norwegian parliament

has selected
for this year's award
of the Nobel Prize,

Dr. Irvin Horatio Thatcher.

(STATIC)

Fargo!

Dr. Thatcher.

I got that.

He's been carrying
that speech for 40 years.

(SINGING)
The wheels on the bus
go round and round

Round and round,
round and round

The wheels on the bus
go round and round

Round and round,
round and round

A simple little
children's song,

but it was this song
that inspired my concept

of Mutually
Assured Destruction.

We build an A-bomb,
they build an A-bomb.

We build an H-bomb,
they build an H-bomb.

Round and round.
Round and round.

The wheels on the bus
leading us towards

an unending
escalation of new,

more powerful,
more deadly weapons,

which is what led me
to my greatest achievement,

the Ionosphere Particle Beam.

In order to ensure
peace on earth,

I built the deadliest weapon
in the universe.

But that's the end
of the story.

Let me take you back
to the beginning.

We don't have time
to go back to Never Land.

Dr. Thatcher,
there's an urgent situation

that needs your attention.

Oh.
Sorry.

I would just like to end
by thanking the committee.

And Eugenia, my love,

without whom this achievement
would not have been possible.

We have a lot
of catching up to do.

I don't like that look.
What's wrong?

My crew. I've got to get
my crew to fix the device.

You have a crew?

(EVE OF DESTRUCTION PLAYING)

Oh, for the love of God.

Thirty seconds
and counting, guys.

(ALL GASPING)

Ready, set,

go! Key one, two and off.

ELECTRONIC VOICE:
Launch code
override initiated.

Yes!

(EVE OF DESTRUCTION RESUMING)

All right!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(RUMBLING)

Oh, crap.

ELECTRONIC VOICE:
Dead man's protocol activated.

Launch sequence initiated.

Second strike weapon
will deploy in five minutes.

Did somebody cut
the blue wire?

Not good.

Very not good.

This is the one that assures
mutually assured destruction.

How do we stop it?

I can't.
It can't be shut down.

Henry, how much time
do we have left?

Thirty seconds.

CARTER:
Is there any way
we can re-aim it?

Once it's locked on
to its target,
it can't be realigned.

Will it work?

I think desperate times
call for desperate measures.

Henry, when you
outfitted my Jeep,
did you put in any airbags?

ELECTRONIC VOICE:
...six, five, four...
Carter, are you crazy?

...three, two, one.

Henry, you got it?
I got it.

It missed!
We missed the moon!

HENRY: Carter! Carter!

Great job, man.
We missed the moon!

We missed the moon!
We missed it!

Little help.

But where did it go?

MAN: The Zephyr Rover
is making its final approach
to Jupiter.

Pasadena, we have a problem.

That's gonna be a shiner.
Yeah.

Well,
one small step for man,
one giant welt for me.

So, when are you gonna
tell him my Nobel
isn't his to keep?

I don't know.
He saved your ass.
I think he earned it.

No, I earned it.

It's mine.

Take it away,
lose a great scientist.

It's not
a difficult equation.

You never know,
you might need Thatcher

to dismantle
the next ticking
time bomb.

Good point.

Really?

You did a good job, Carter.
Thanks.

I had a little help
from my crew.

You remember that feeling?

Yeah.

It's nice to know
it can last a lifetime.

And kind of depressing.
A little.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I'm just grateful that
we finally got together.

I said we again, didn't I?
Yeah.

How long is this
supposed to last?

See you tomorrow, Carter.
No, seriously.
