Eureka (2006–2012): Season 3, Episode 8 - From Fear to Eternity - full transcript

All of Eva Thorne's secrets are revealed when she pushes for early destruction of the bunker. Zoe begins to experience the effect of the substance in which she slipped, leaving Carter to risk his life and job in order to save her.

CARTER: Previously, on Eureka.

Come on, Josefina.
Don't go all serious
on me, now.

It's too late.

JO: Thorne dug up
an old bomb-testing facility?

CARTER: What's
down there, anyway?

ALLISON: Well, nothing
for long. She ordered
a thermal cleaning.

FARGO: She redacted
all the photos
of Eureka's founders.

ALLISON: Oh, my God,
are those...
ZANE: Bodies?

THORNE: History has a way
of haunting you.

This is part of mine,
and I'm putting it to rest.
So you stay out of my way.

So, party
at Pilar's tonight?



(SIGHS) Doubtful.
My morning shift
felt like a double.

In fact, I'm about
as energetic
as this dishrag.

Which is why
you need some fun.

(GIGGLES)

(CUP BANGING ON TABLE)

(CARTER CLEARING THROAT)

It's okay. Get up.
Get up.

I'll just, uh, I will just,
uh, sit here,
till you are finished.

Why do dads
ruin everything?

'Cause they're men,
and men are ruiners.

Um, Zane drama?

No. Fear.
Okay, never date a coward.

I put myself out there,
commitment-wise

(INHALES DEEPLY)
And he froze.



We haven't talked since.

Well, here's your chance.

Hey, Jo.

(TAPPING ON TABLE)

You, uh, eat, yet?

(STUTTERING) I thought maybe
we could, you know,
we could have a bite.

(LAUGHING) A bite. Well,
we wouldn't want you
to commit to a whole meal.

You got something to say?

I already did,
and you couldn't handle it.

Hi, Ruiner.

You know, if we're ever
gonna find out why
Thorne moved those bodies,

we're gonna have to
search the bunker.

Well, stopping the thermal
cleaning didn't slow her down.

She's pulled in
an outside contractor.

What kind of
outside contractor?

Uh, I'm not sure.
His name is Hendricks.

He's set himself up in
a trailer near the bunker.

That's all I could find out,
but I know he has something

to do with what
she's trying to hide.

Hmm.
And she's moving
those bodies.

(GROANS) We have to autopsy
those bodies in order
to discover

their cause of death
and ID.

Well, ID-ing them
is going to be difficult.

She's redacted every
personnel record
and photo from 1939,

even the ones
that were on that wall.

Why would anybody want
photos of scientists
and founders of Eureka.

Yeah, I mean, somebody
on that wall's got to
be part of the answer.

Well, we're never
gonna know
without those photos.

Wait. Photo, the photo...

Hey, Vince! Remember the day
of the campaigns speeches?

You were taking photos
in front of that wall, right?

Yeah, you mean the ones
where I looked like Sasquatch?

Yes, those are the ones.

(HENRY CHUCKLING)
Thanks. I think
Fargo has them.

(CLEARING THROAT)
Great. Um,
okay. I'll talk to Fargo.

I'll get Jo to check
on Thorne's guy.

And, Allison, we have
to have those bodies.

Okay.

All right, Dr. Hendricks,
you sure you have
enough material?

Trust me, Miss Thorne.
I'm very good at what I do.

That's why I called you in.
How long before
everything's in place?

As long as it takes.
Look, this bunker
is massive,

and you don't want to
make a mistake
with this stuff.

Fine, but we need
this completed
as soon as possible.

I'll be happy to get you
any help you need.

Look, this is a delicate
operation. I would prefer
to do it myself.

We only have one shot.

Take it quickly.

(TRUCK DOOR CLOSING)

Dr. Hendricks,
it's the police.
I need to speak with you.

Thanks, Carter.
That was pointless.

ZANE: Huh.
Found you.

How'd you get here?

I road my bike.

And just so you know,
this passive-aggressive
thing is really annoying.

Well, you want to try
just aggressive?

Uh, no, not really.

I didn't think so.
See ya.

Hey, could you come here
for a second?

Why? So you can
hit me with that?

Not until you tell me
what it is, first.

Please?

(SIGHING)

Anodized aluminum
with a trap valve.

Okay,
and that means...

It's a pressurized container
of some kind.

Hmm.

It's got a remote trigger.

For what?

To set it off at a distance.

You wouldn't want to be
anywhere near this
when it went off.

You could pack a hell
of a lot of something
into a device like this.

How much could you pack
in about 1,000 of them?

FARGO: Some of us
actually work for a living,
you know?

Yeah, I didn't want to do this
on the G.D. System.

Well, you owe me a lunch hour,
and you mind turning around?

I have some personal
photos on here.

Oh, got you.
Sure.

All right, let's see.

(EXCLAIMS) Not it.

Not it. Definitely, not it.

That's a good look.

Whoa! What?
No! Personal!
Don't you understand?

All right. Okay, here we go.

Great. Um, can you zoom
in on the photos
in the background?

Not on this dinosaur,
and since I can't
do it at G.D.,

I'm gonna have to do it
when I get home later tonight.

Fargo, this is important.
You're gonna have to
go home, now.

Bet Dr. Blake won't like me
bending the rules like this.

Uh, you'd be surprised.

Oh! Great. Um, Miss Thorne
wanted me to double check
the delivery address

on this shipment
from the morgue.

One sec. Great, thanks.

You're welcome.
All right, let's go.

ZOE: I'll never make fun
of Aunt Lexi again.

I feel like I'm pregnant
with twins.

(GROANS) Don't ever say
the "P" word in front
of your dad.

He'll lock me up
and throw away the key.

I feel like he's always
watching me.

(GROANS) If I weren't
so tired, I'd tell you
to stop being so paranoid.

(ALARM BEEPING)

SARAH: Unidentified intruder.

See? Always watching.

Initiating detention
procedure.

(GROANS)

Zoe!

(GROANS)

Sarah, turn off security,
right now!

SARAH: I can't, Sheriff.
The intruder is an imposter,
not Zoe Carter.

Zoe and I walked in,
and SARAH went insane.

Because, the unidentified
intruder is not Zoe.

(BUTTONS BEEPING)

System off!

Manual override engaged.

Honey, you okay?

I think so. Did you
set a trap for Lucas?

No, there's just
something wrong with SARAH.

Yeah, what's wrong is
living in a house
that can Taser you.

Yeah.

No, she didn't hurt me.
I just got really dizzy.

All right, well,
I think you should go
to the infirmary.

No, Dad, really, I'm fine.
I've just been run down.

It's no big deal.

Is SARAH dead?

(GROANING)

Uh, no. We just
powered her down.

Fargo's gonna run
a full system check.

And Zoe and I are gonna go
to Cafe Diem, until he figures
out why she turned on us.

Okay. You sure
you're okay?

(SIGHS) Are you sure
you didn't zap my boyfriend?

(EXCLAIMS)
She's fine.
Yeah.

(SIGHING)

HENRY: Nice job getting
these bodies out of G.D.

Yeah, you know that
Eva's gonna be able to track
your ID off that scanner...

Which is why
we need to hurry.

All right. Let's find out
about our friend.

(GASPS) Oh.

(EXCLAIMS)
Are you all right?

Um...

Since when are you
the squeamish sort?

(SIGHING) I'm not.
I'm just, um...

Just worn out.
Really, I'm fine.
Let's just get started.

That one's almost empty,
but I was able to
analyze the leakage.

Around the nozzle.
It's some kind of cement.

Well, somebody know
what Hendricks is doing
with about 1,000 of them?

No idea.
Why don't you ask him?

And while you're at it,
find out why it has
a remote trigger.

(GROANING)

(HISSING)

There's also
a manual release.

I see that.

I'm stuck.

Yeah. We're stuck.
Together.

I'll find Hendricks.

Thank you.

Perfect.

Hi!

Uh, busy day?

Yeah. Yeah, it's a...
Not much time to talk.

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Oh, uh, Sheriff Carter.

I thought access down here
from the highway
was supposed to be blocked.

Yeah. I had to take
the scenic route.

Okay. Is there something
I can help you with, Sheriff?

Well, it's just that I don't
know you, and you've,
you've closed down a road,

and you've got a ton of this
freakish instant cement, so...

This is an authorized
military operation.

Oh, yes, yes! I know! No!
Authorized by Eva Thorne!

I know.

(SIGHS) Look you seem
like a really nice guy, but,
I can't tell you anything.

Fair enough.
How about I tell you
things, then?

(STUTTERING) There's
an abandoned
underground facility.

You're loading in about
1,000 canisters of that stuff,

and all with
America's Sweetheart
behind it.

You're very perceptive.
Yeah, she's a piece of work,
that one.

(GASPS) But, I think
she's gonna take a few
pieces out of me,

if I tell you
what I'm doing.

Okay. Um, could you tell me
when you're gonna be
done doing it?

Just so I know
when the road's
gonna be clear?

Oh, yeah, I think
we'll be done end of
the workday tomorrow.

Great! Thanks. Oh!
Um, one more thing.

What if someone made
the very understandable
mistake of, um,

opening one of the canisters,

and then someone else
got their feet caught
in your super-goo?

It's called Instantanium.
It's a nano-polymer,
syntactic foam.

You know what that means?

Uh, well, no.
But, how do we
get them out?

You get a saw.

Great! So, you can
just cut through it?

No, you cut
through their legs.

(EXCLAIMS)

Yes.

(MACHINE DRILLING)

(ZANE SIGHS) Son of a...

Don't you look at me
in that tone of voice.

This isn't my fault. Okay.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(GRUNTS)

Dr. Bonehead's lab?

Let me guess,
you two are still
stuck together.

Just till I can
reach my gun.

What'd you find out
from Hendricks?

Uh, it's called Instantanium.
Some sort of hardening foam.

No, nano-elastic foam.

ZANE: Nano-polymer
syntactic foam?
Yes!

Wow.
What wow?

Uh, nano-particles are bound
together at a molecular level.

Aha.

Uh, did Hendricks have any
idea how to get out of it?

Uh, one, but you're not
gonna want to try it.

I've slept in teepees,
huts, yurts.

(SIGHS) I'd take a bed
of nails right now.

Okay, I know why I'm tired.
I'm sleeping for the boys.
What's your excuse?

(GROANS) I think I'm coming
down with something.

Every bone in my body aches.

This what it feels
like to be 30?

(LAUGHS) Okay,
I'll forgive you
for that in 15 years.

(LAUGHS)

But, you do look
a little pale.

Hey. Smart House
is up and running.
Everything's fine.

For a house that occasionally
takes you hostage?

It was an honest mistake.

Zoe's DNA didn't match
the sample
in SARAH's database.

Well, it's not like
I went out and changed it.

Well, maybe it was
a memory glitch. Uh,
either way, I reset her,

and it won't happen again.

So, we get to sleep
in real beds, now?
Yep.

With real pillows?
You're all set for the house.

Oh! Uh, and tell your dad
it took me a while
to enhance them,

but I am a Photoshop god,
so I got those old pictures
he wanted...

I love old pictures.

The sheriff was interested
in which ones?

Um, the ones
on the wall...

Of my grandfather's house.

He has this one with
Mickey Mantle, and I always
promised I'd get it restored,

so, thanks, Fargo.
I'll pick 'em up later.

Okee-dokee.

So, can I buy you
some ice cream?

I'm pressed for time, now.

Oh, you're checking on
that Hendricks guy down
in the bunker.

That's a big job
you gave him.

That's classified.

Yeah, that's what he said.
He said it's some part
of some big military project.

That's right.
Oh, and I checked
with Mansfield,

and he said that it isn't
a big military project.

You spoke to the general?

Yeah. He usually doesn't
take my calls,
but I used your name,

and he picked right up.
It was awesome.
I hope you don't mind.

I mind just about
everything you do, Sheriff,

especially when you stick
your nose into somebody
else's business.

Well, dead bodies
are always my business.

Anyway, the General
says hi, and he can't
wait to be briefed

about the
underground facility.

Seems he didn't even
know a thing about it.

Well, apparently,
he does, now.

Yeah.
Mmm-hmm.

Miss Thorne, I'm just
looking for the truth.

Sometimes, the truth
needs to be left alone,

but you've made that
impossible, now,
haven't you, Sheriff?

Yes, I have.

Henry? Tell me
you found something!

Yeah, I found something,
all right.

These men did not
die of natural causes.

Awesome! Um, not for them.

Well, definitely, not
for them. They're death
was accelerated,

brutally, rapid aging.

Every cell in their body
went through an
entire life cycle

in a compressed
period of time.

Something was introduced
to their system that
killed them in a month.

You think they
were poisoned?

Uh, could be. I don't know.
I'm trying to identify
the elemental base

of the pathogen.
It's something I've
never seen before.

Look at that, 40 to 90
in a month.

Now, does that
look natural to you?

Well, Henry, if you can prove
that they didn't die
of natural causes,

then I can investigate,
and if I can investigate,

then I can stop Thorne
from sealing the bunker.

I can try.

All right.

JO: God, what if I have
to go to the bathroom?

Why do you think I'm working
so fast? I had four cups
of coffee this morning.

(SIGHING)

This isn't so bad.

Hey, guys. Pick out
a china pattern, yet?

(LAUGH MOCKINGLY)

No, wait. Hold on.
I need Jo for a second.

I'm kind of busy right now,
and that means that...

My job is less
important than yours?

Well, that depends.
Can you do it with one leg?

(THUMPING)

Good times.

SARAH: I have an array
of exotic flavors for you
to choose from.

I chose them specifically
based on the regions
you've traveled.

The fact that a house
can actually try
to suck up to me

is almost as disturbing as a
house taking my niece hostage.

I'm still indicating
that her DNA has changed.

ZOE: Aunt Lexi?

(SIGHING) Great.
Just when she's
finally getting some sleep.

Yeah? Here.

Aunt Lexi, are you there?

Yeah, I'm right here.
Are you okay?

(GASPS)

There's something
wrong with my eyes,

(SIGHS)
I can't see.

All clear.
No one left inside.

Good.

You really know
how to work a man.

So I've been told.
Everything set?

This place will be
an Instantanium fortress,

every entrance
five feet thick
with the stuff.

Now, the facility itself
will stay clean,
like you asked,

(GASPS)
With you rushing me,
though,

I can't promise
a smooth detonation.

Meaning?

(SIGHS)
Look, underground job
like this

needs to be
calibrated precisely,

so the geological foundation
of the place isn't disturbed,

and moving the operation
a day up on me,

you might feel
a few little quakes.

You sure it'll be impossible
to reopen once it's triggered?

Nothing breaks
my Instantanium.

Thank you, Dr. Hendricks.
I'll take it from here.

Well, you're not
going back in there?

I just have a few
things to take care of.

Okay, but once this goes,
anything still in there
is never getting out.

If Hendricks seals
the facility before we get
a warrant, we're screwed.

It's a big place.
Uh, there's got to be
a weak spot.

Guys, look, could I just
get to my...

CARTER: If wind out
where it is and
we protect it...

JO: We can get in later.
CARTER: Right.

Can we just...

So, okay, take a closer look
right over here. Right?
There's an air shaft.

Do you see it?
Mmm-hmm.

I think it goes down
to the second level.

HENRY: Cataracts.
Easy to get rid of,
nowadays,

especially with our prototype.
She's gonna be as good as new.

(SIGHS)

Wow. You're gonna be
able to see again, soon.

How did this happen?

SARAH's lasers, really bad
for the eyes. Can I talk
to you for a second?

Sure. Sure.

It wasn't lasers, Henry.

You get cataracts
when you're old,
not when you're 17.

Yes.

Tell me it doesn't have
anything to do with
how those three men died.

(SIGHS)

SARAH was right.
Zoe's DNA has changed.

Every cell in her body
is beginning to age, rapidly.

Now, if she has the same
thing as those men,
there's only one place

she could have gotten it.

The bunker.
Yes.

(SIGHING) Um...

She hurt her ankle
when she was down there.

She slipped in some, uh,
purple liquid.
Could that be it?

I need a sample.

All right. I'll get you
a sample. Do you mind
staying with her?

Yeah, sure. Listen, G.D.'s
done a lot of work on
arresting cell degeneration.

I've even put
a team together,
so try not to worry.

Yeah.

Sheriff, I have that picture.
Listen, now's not
a good time...

No, no, you need
to see this.

That's impossible.

Well, sometimes impossible
answers a lot of questions.

Don't touch the pretty,
metal canisters.

(DOOR OPENING)

(SIGHS)
Sheriff?

You need to get
out of here, now.

Sure, once you tell me
what's going on.

What?

That stuff you're
trying to hide,

it killed those three men,
and now Zoe's been exposed.

That's not possible.

She slipped in it
when she was lost down here.

Now, it's changed her DNA.

Oh, my God.

If that's true, we've got to
get out of here as fast
as we can.

Nice try,
but I spoke to Hendricks.

He's not sealing this
place until tomorrow.

No. No! When you called
Mansfield, I had it
accelerated.

We got to get to
the air shaft!

(EXPLODING)

That was our
only way out.

Great.

So, you knew this
was gonna happen?

Why are you down
here?

I wanted to end it,
all of it.

Including me.

I should have done it
a long time ago, but
I didn't have the courage.

What are you
talking about?

Courage to, what? To, to...

Courage to cover up
how those men died?

Yeah.

What did you do to them?

I didn't do anything to them.

They died 70 years ago,
I wasn't even born.

Well...

Try again.

This is one of the pictures
you took out of Cafe Diem.

That's you.

You were here in 1939,
with them.

I was.

But I didn't hurt them.
I just couldn't help them.

So...

I'm 107 years old.

Why didn't you
die like them?

I don't know.
I'm the only one.

Well, now, you have
a chance to fix this.

I mean, Zoe's not lucky
like you. She's like them.

She's gonna suffer,
unless you tell me everything
that you know.

I know. We're here.
We're stuck here.

Well, I'm not dead, yet,
and neither are you!

So, we're gonna find a way.
We're not letting Zoe die.

Here you go.

Wow. Good eats in this town.

Glad you think so.
You'll be staying
a while longer.

(SIGHING)

(DOOR SLIDING)

We set off the first
atomic bomb here.

Oh, no, no.
First atomic bomb
was um...

Los Alamos?

They learned from our mistakes
and went with plutonium.

We used a rare element
found only in
certain meteorites.

The first test was flawless,

but it created a certain,
unique byproduct
in the blast chamber.

The, uh, purple stuff,
the, the stuff Henry
couldn't identify.

Element X.

They asked the team
to study it.

There were only
four of us exposed,

but nobody knew its effects,
until it was too late.

So, why did they age,
and you didn't?

DNA hadn't even been
discovered yet, but Jimmy
knew that, genetically,

I was one-in-a-million.

Sorry, Jimmy is?

Perkins. He was
the team leader.

(EXCLAIMS)
Along with
Blackman and Ross.

And you?

Well, I was a lab assistant,
best a girl could hope
for in those days.

(LAUGHS)

But, Jimmy insisted that
I keep my exposure a secret,

so I wouldn't have to
do what they did.

Bury themselves down here?

Yes. They locked it all away,
the element,
the whole project,

and they were
so close to a cure.

How do you know that?

I read their paperwork.

They worked on it, every day,
for the rest of their lives.

28 days.

(STUTTERING) 28 days?

Zoe was exposed to the stuff
seven days ago.

This place is amazing.

All right, look, you got
the right dissolving
chain here,

but you're gonna need
Francium 227Ac,

and there's less than
an ounce of that on Earth.

Yeah, except for
the stash here at G.D.

You're kidding, right?

I'll order it up.

(JO EXCLAIMS)
But, we'll only be able
to make up a few milligrams.

(THUMPING)

We're getting a series
of small earthquakes around
the underground facility.

Any idea why?

Hey, I told her
that would happen
if she rushed the job.

Wait, you mean
you've already sealed it?

Yeah, about an hour ago.

(SIGHING) Oh, Carter!

I put all their
papers in here.

What am I looking for?

Notes, papers, journals,
anything that can
help Henry save Zoe.

Hitler was already
marching across Europe.

Imagine if he'd gotten
his hands on our
bomb research.

(CREAKING)

(EXCLAIMS) It would be
Volkswagens everywhere.

So, why come back?
I mean, why not just
keep it all hidden?

I tried to move on,
have a life.

Things changed for women.
I made something of myself.

Fate catches up with you,
no matter how far you run.

I did so well,
I became the best person
for the job at G.D.

I've spent a lifetime
trying to forget this place,

but I needed to know.

CARTER: Because, your name
isn't Eva Thorne.

It's Mary Perkins.

Jimmy was my brother.

If I had known that Zoe
would have found
her way down here,

I never would have
opened this place up again.

Don't worry about it.
We're gonna help her.

Even if we find the cure,
we can't get out of here.

Well, you believed
in your team,
I believe in mine.

So, next step,
we need some of that liquid.

We'll, there's a...
There's a storage pool
in the cooling chamber.

Great.

Follow me.

This solvent might work.
Just FYI, there's a chance
of a slight explosion.

No, wait, explosion?

Just do it.

(GROANING)

Thank God!

Oh, look, it worked!
You're free!

Yes, and in another
five minutes, I would have
chewed off my own leg!

Your mouth is
probably big enough.

How much longer, Fargo?

The bunker's computers
are 70 years old.

It's like teaching Lincoln
how to use an iPhone.

All right, just get us
a signal down there.

We need to know
if Carter's okay.

Easier said than done.

How's Zoe?

Uh, tired, but stable.

I was able to identify
the DNA marker that that,
uh, purple element affects.

I just need more of it,
so that I can test
the reversal process.

But, there is gonna come
a point of no return,

when her body
won't be able to bounce back

from whatever aging
she's already experienced.

(EXCLAIMS) Henry, listen,
I have been feeling exhausted,
not a normal kind of tired.

I was down there,
too, you know.

Well, then,
I want you tested.

(SIGHS)

This room would
have been buried,
if you hadn't cut the wire.

Yeah, what is
all this stuff, anyway?

It was too dangerous
to enter the cooling chamber,

so we had a video system
installed to monitor
the liquid level.

We were working with
atom bombs for the first time.

We didn't want the radiation
to seep into the groundwater.

Is, is this
the storage pool.

Yes.

(THUNDERING)

It looks like the
Instantanium's cracked
the base of the storage pool.

It's leaking out underneath.

If it reaches the groundwater
and gets into the Eureka
drinking system...

Eureka's gonna get
very old, very fast.

CARTER: And even if we do
make it of here,

Henry doesn't have enough
purple stuff to make a cure.

We need to
save your daughter.

Yes. We do.

I've had this
for a long time.

My brother thought
I might need it one day.

Zoe needs it more.

What about you?

I'd rather save somebody
now, than hold onto it
for a lifetime.

We have to figure out
how to get out of here.

I know this was a rushed job,
but I did seal
the entire facility.

You know, every fortified
position has its weak point.

I'm thinking yours is down
at the bottom of that
ventilation shaft.

You might know that,
but how does
Carter know that?

We looked at the
same schematic.

Yeah, when, when two people
really know each other,

then they're in sync,
and when they're partners...

I get it. Could you just
drive the car, please?

Now, I can't believe
this shaft was here
the whole time.

Yeah, labeled on every map
as a capped well.

(METALLIC CREAKING)

Why are we still
in this room?

I think it's
our best bet.

No offense, Sheriff.

But nobody has any idea
what's going on down here.

Lupo and I looked
at the same plans.

We identified the
same weak points,
and this was the weakest.

That's why you tried
to clear all the
canisters in this room?

Yeah, but I missed one.

And, now, there's only
one thing between us
and the air shaft.

Well, one canister or not,
that material's invulnerable.

So everyone
keeps telling me.

(METALLIC CLANGING)

Do you hear something?

(CRACKING)

Good afternoon!

My name is Jo Lupo,
and I'll be saving
your ass today.

Someone ought to
promote you.

(SIGHING) Yeah.

So, how is she?

(SIGHING) She's
hanging in there.

Well, Henry's pulled up
half the departments at G.D.,

and Eva's doing
everything she can to help.
Great.

I mean, the solution
that Henry's working on,

we're all gonna
need it soon.

Some made it
into the groundwater?

Our monitors registered
contamination in over a
million acre feet

of the aquifer.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
You guys are lucky
you don't have a boss.

Otherwise, he'd come down
here, he'd kick your...

Allison Blake?

MANSFIELD: Where is she?

Eva Thorne is currently
aiding Dr. Deacon

in trying to get
a dangerous situation
under control.

You said Eva Thorne is
the dangerous situation,

with bodies and underground
facilities and cover-ups.

Yeah, sir, the situation's
changed since I called you.

Yes, it's gotten worse.

You've allowed
a breach of security,
in a deactivated facility,

turn into a potential
town-wide catastrophe.

General, Sheriff Carter
is in no way responsible
for the situation.

No, Thorne is.

I want you to arrest her.

Sir, it's imperative
that the testing on
Eva Thorne continue.

Well, you can test her
after she's been arraigned.

Sir, on a personal note,

my daughter was exposed
to whatever stuff that is
down there,

and the testing can help her,
but we have to do it now.

All right. When this is over,
Thorne belongs to me.

Thank you.

HENRY: We're hoping to create
a counter reaction, using
non-baryogenic radiation,

to counter
the baryogenic radiation
that she was exposed to.

It's like using X-rays
to treat cancer.

It'll work. It has to.

Well, we'll know
in a few hours.

Um, if it does work, how long
will it take you to make
enough for the whole town?

I can't.

It took all of Thorne's sample
just to make enough for Zoe.

I know my brother
would have been working
right up to the end,

trying to find a way to
neutralize the element.

All I can find here
are designs for some
kind of a bomb.

A big bomb.

They spent their last days
on Earth working on
a doomsday weapon?

Not my brother,
he was looking
for a solution.

Well, maybe, the bomb
was the solution.

Does it say anywhere
that the bomb did create
a lot of, uh,

non, uh, baryometric...

Non-baryogenic radiation?

Yes.
Yeah.

They were talking
20, 30 kilotons.

That's enough to
irradiate 10 square miles.

Okay. Will that
fix the town?

Well, a range like that would
certainly reach the aquifer.
I mean, it might work.

Sure, if they actually built
the thing. It doesn't say
how far they got.

Well, they had a month.
They wouldn't have
wasted the time.

(BUTTONS BEEPING)

Sure this is the right room?

The only peak on our particle
scan is located 12 feet
directly behind you.

Signal's high.
I think I'm close.

Is there anything down there?

Yep. A really big bomb.

ALLISON: So,
how far did they get?

Pretty far.

Time to finish
what they started.

Give me a couple of hours,
and I'll let you know.

(BUTTONS BEEPING)

All right, baby.

All you have to do
is neutralize a radioactive
water table, and we are good.

The bomb's primed
and ready to go.

It's hotwired into
the timing circuits down here.

ALLISON: Great work, Zane.

That wasn't me.
It was all Jimmy.

It's set up so you can start
the countdown remotely.

ALLISON: As soon
as you're clear.

Okay. I just got one
more thing to do.

We've evacuated the area
above the facility.

You sure there's enough
Instantanium left to
handle the nuclear blast?

'Cause if it shatters,
all that force would go up,
not down.

It'll never reach
the aquifer.

But, it will reach us.

Look, I told you.
I double-covered that area.

Little firecracker won't
even make a dent.

It's fascinating,
you know? You've created
a problem so big,

the solution is to
detonate an atomic bomb.

I know, right?
How cool is that?

Should I come
with you guys?

COMPUTER: Automated
countdown sequence initiated.

Detonation in 10,

nine, eight,

seven, six,

five, four,

three, two,

one, zero.

(EXPLODING)

The sensor's into
the water table.

It'll take a few seconds
to get the reading.

And let us know
if we're all gonna die?

Pretty much.

Well, no matter
how it turns out...

It's been a fun day.

Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, I guess it was.

(SIGHING) Nice to
end the relationship
on a high note.

(DEVICE BEEPING)

So, what's the verdict?

The explosion's completely
neutralized the baryogenic
radiation in the aquifer.

Groundwater's safe.

Well, good for us.

I, uh, I should,
call Allison.

Yeah.

Hey! Um, after that call.

(STUTTERING) If you, maybe
want to go for a, you know,
break-up dinner...

(LAUGHS)

No.

How about a,
a make-up dinner, instead?

Guess it's not so bad
being stuck together.

(LAUGHS)

Allison Blake, please?

Hi.

Hey, Jack.

I'm really glad
I came to stay here.

And I'm glad Uncle Jack
is gonna be around
for the boys.

Me too.

(LAUGHING)

If you guys hug,
I know I'm dead.

Well, hey, Lazy,
how you feeling?

(LAUGHS) 17, I hope.

LEXI: Well, we have
that Thorne lady
to thank for that.

I came here thinking
I couldn't trust anyone.

Boy, was I wrong.

Uh, I wish I could
have done more.

You made sure that nobody
would have to go through
what my brother went through.

That's enough.

And I still want to work
on a cure for you.

It worked for Zoe.
That's what's important.

And I can leave here
thinking about my future,
instead of my past.

It's quite a gift.

Where will you go?

I'm quite a resourceful gal.

(LAUGHS)

Whoever I become next,
I'll be well taken care of.

Goodbye, Henry.

(BUS HONKING)

Thank you for
giving me a new life.

Are you sure that Mansfield
doesn't know that
we have the remains?

I convinced him that
Thorne destroyed them
down in the bunker,

along with most
of their research.

And I promised Eva
that I would lay them
to rest.

Hmm. You're laying
it all to rest.

Henry, uh...

I've been kind of afraid
to ask you this,

but was I...

Exposed? No. Oh, no...

(SIGHING) Oh.
Okay...

The results came
back negative.

Good. I just, um...

(LAUGHS) I guess,
I just need some rest.

Although, I did find
something else.

So, party at
Pilar's tonight?

You sure you're
feeling up to it?

I'm feeling up to
a lot of things.

Good thought to hold on to.

I'm not gonna look.

I'm, I'm not gonna look.

Yeah.

(LAUGHING)

Shouldn't have looked.

You're a good dad.

Well, I don't know.

Glad things are back
to normal. Or as
normal as they get.

ALLISON: Getting excited
about being an uncle?

Yeah, I guess.
I mean, I'm...

(LAUGHING)
You know, I've never
really had boys around.

Well, they'll need
a role model.

True! I can finally
coach Little League.

You'll be a great coach.

Thanks.

I was kind of hoping, um...

You'd be mine.

Okay. You gonna take up
T-ball or...

No, my, uh,
my birthing coach.

I'm pregnant.

How?

The usual way...

Oh, I, I got the drill.
It...

(SIGHING) Wow!
So, so it's...

Nathan's.

You okay?

Yeah. Oh. General Mansfield.

You sure don't make
my job easy, do you, Carter?

Where's Thorne?

General, I can explain.

Dr. Blake, I have no evidence
that you've been
insubordinate.

Don't give me any.

Uh, sir, she's not so much
a fugitive as a victim,
in this...

Your job is to
enforce the law,
not to make judgments.

Yes, sir.

You're a good man.

But, you disobeyed a direct
order, and this time I can't
look the other way.

Eureka no longer
requires your services.

You are fired, Carter.
