00:03:11Hello, home. Hello, Miles. Hello, mouse poop.
00:03:16Shall I play upbeat music to encourage a productive workday?
00:03:19I'm not really in the mood for music right now, but...
00:03:24Jamie? How did you get in here?
00:03:26I'm small and sneaky.
00:03:28Squeakers.
00:03:29We need a better alarm system.
00:03:31We don't have an alarm system.
00:03:32Well, then research one. Preferably with an electric shock wire.
00:03:36I must first research legality.
00:03:38I'm kidding.
00:03:39What's this?
00:03:40Expensive. No touchy.
00:03:41Jamie? I don't want to play today, okay?
00:03:43I don't want to play. I want to help you with some machine.
00:03:45It's not exactly safe.
00:03:47It's not exactly safe.
00:03:47Does it exactly work? You've been working on this mystery machine forever.
00:03:51How? Piper, what are you? Like Catwoman?
00:03:54Batwoman, actually.
00:03:55Batwoman, a superheroine known for stealth and intelligence, was Batman's primary love interest.
00:03:59Sure would be a shame if someone were to complain about you illegally siphoning power to a foreclosed building.
00:04:05Sure would be a shame if someone found out you've been hacking government websites and shutting down employee logins.
00:04:09For real?
00:04:10How did you...
00:04:12Uh-oh.
00:04:12Thanks a lot, Newt.
00:04:14I am not programmed for discretion.
00:04:15It was payback for the administration shutting down student protests.
00:04:19It's called hacktivism.
00:04:20You say tomato, I say cyber felony.
00:04:23Fine. You've got dirt on me, I've got dirt on you.
00:04:26So spill the tea.
00:04:28How does it work?
00:04:29And what is it?
00:04:32It's a sustainable energy machine based off of Tesla's concepts and my mom's design.
00:04:36It uses a small amount of energy to excite the atoms in the air and then uses induction to pull
00:04:41that extra energy into the machine with frequency multiples of three, six, and nine.
00:04:45Kind of like a wireless charger.
00:04:47You are blowing my mind right now.
00:04:50Tesla's design pulled energy from all over like this.
00:04:54Mine will pull it in like this.
00:04:57But does it work?
00:04:59Not consistently.
00:05:00Not yet.
00:05:01My mom ran into the same problem before she went missing.
00:05:05Right now it just holds energy for a few seconds and then outputs to the nearest battery.
00:05:09I just need funding, but Luxus won't even take a meeting with me.
00:05:12So just go show it to them.
00:05:15I can't just go drop it on their doorstep.
00:05:24I can just go drop it on their doorstep.
00:05:28Who could you show it to?
00:05:30Who could you show it to?
00:05:41Thanks, Mike.
00:05:42I'm coming.
00:05:43I'm coming.
00:05:44Luxus energy stock prices continue to plummet as investors lose confidence in the conglomerates' renewable energy programs.
00:05:50There seems to be no end in sight to the worldwide supply chain bottlenecks and raw material shortfall, which are
00:05:55further exacerbating Luxus energy's struggle.
00:05:58Kennedy Blake.
00:05:58Kennedy, we're re-routing your flight and relocating you to headquarters.
00:06:03For how long?
00:06:18Tesla's designs for the atom particle liberator were incomplete,
00:06:21so we're still struggling for a consistent power source.
00:06:24Your time is running out.
00:06:28Threats are not solutions, Vigo. We will execute on schedule.
00:06:33I want this just as badly as you do.
00:06:35I hope so. I make promises, not threats.
00:06:54Think he means it?
00:06:56I think my daughter has her work cut out for her.
00:06:59Kennedy.
00:07:07Were those the Project Daybreak backers?
00:07:09Is it still on schedule?
00:07:11Not at all. But that is why you are here.
00:07:14I want you to take over as Head of Technological Development and lead the energy efforts of Daybreak.
00:07:20I won't let you down.
00:07:21Good.
00:07:23Because everything that we are rides on the success of this project.
00:07:28Now, Neil has your credentials and will handle your relocation.
00:07:37And this whole pantsuit thing? No more.
00:07:40I'd like to see you in pencil skirts from now on.
00:07:43Pencil skirts.
00:07:48Good to see you too, Mom.
00:07:50You have a lunch meeting with the engineers.
00:07:52This will catch you up.
00:08:01Good morning and welcome to Luxos Energy.
00:08:05Leading the world in creating sustainable energy for all.
00:08:15Wells Fletcher.
00:08:17Here to see your head of development.
00:08:19One moment.
00:08:24A little cliffhanger, huh?
00:08:29Yes, actually.
00:08:34You're not on Miss Blake's agenda.
00:08:36Oh, I know. But I'm sure she'll want to see me.
00:08:38That's not how this works.
00:08:40Call her and schedule an appointment.
00:08:42And grab yourself a juice box on the way out.
00:08:51Oh, no.
00:09:12Ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:14I give you the alchemist.
00:09:28The alchemist is a revolutionary, sustainable energy device.
00:09:33If you'll check your phones, you'll see they're powering up from energy my machine is pulling from atoms in the
00:09:39air.
00:09:39If Luxos will fund this project, together we can take free energy to the world.
00:09:45Sorry, it, it, it...
00:09:48What the...?
00:09:49Sorry.
00:09:50It, it, it's...
00:09:51It's still in beta.
00:09:53Umm...
00:09:54Uh...
00:09:54Please don't chase me.
00:09:56Let's go.
00:09:57Come on.
00:09:58Wait.
00:09:58Come on guys.
00:09:59If I could just talk to Miss Blake...
00:10:00You can make her your one phone call.
00:10:02From prison.
00:10:04Prison?
00:10:05It's granted to Kennedy Blake.
00:10:08That's enough.
00:10:12What is going on here?
00:10:16I was hoping to work for you, actually.
00:10:20So you thought you would just fry our lobby with an EMP?
00:10:22Okay, it's not an EMP.
00:10:26It's a perpetual energy machine.
00:10:30Right.
00:10:32Well, if that's true, and it's not a bomb, then the feds will have no reason to hold you.
00:10:35Call this in.
00:10:36Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:39I just wanted to show you my work.
00:10:41I saw.
00:10:42Come on, I had to cobble together the atom particle liberator from third-hand parts.
00:10:49All I need are better parts and funding.
00:10:52The principles of atmospheric induction are solid.
00:10:54If not, then...
00:10:56How did this happen?
00:11:01If you had better funding, who's to say you wouldn't blow up the entire block next time?
00:11:07My mom.
00:11:09She knew this would work.
00:11:11Luxus believed her.
00:11:13She used to work here.
00:11:14Yeah, I know. I saw her when I ran your ID.
00:11:18But that was ages ago, okay?
00:11:20And we need real solutions now, not junkyard thermal coils.
00:11:24This is proof of concept for a sustainable energy machine that needs further development.
00:11:34Just let me show you this can work.
00:11:37Show me more than five seconds of induction without blowing anything up.
00:11:40Then maybe we can talk about a deal.
00:11:44You won't be disappointed.
00:11:46I look forward to seeing some updates.
00:11:48And we sent the wonder machine back to your house.
00:11:52What?
00:11:52My house?
00:11:59You owe me a phone.
00:12:00You owe me a juice box.
00:12:25Dad, I can explain.
00:12:27What is this, Miles?
00:12:31It's a machine I've been working on.
00:12:34Which it does?
00:12:39Right now, it's a pyrotechnic mechanism used for blowing up cell phones.
00:12:42Cut the crap, Miles.
00:12:45Is this your mom's work?
00:12:54There are a thousand things that you can make like this.
00:12:57This was her whole life.
00:12:59And look where it got her.
00:13:00Luxos killed her.
00:13:01That makes no sense.
00:13:03She was their best engineer.
00:13:05So what?
00:13:05She just disappeared?
00:13:07She just upping and walked out on us.
00:13:10They are an energy company, Dad.
00:13:13There's no big plot.
00:13:16Oil spills.
00:13:19Price fixes.
00:13:20This is different.
00:13:21She was just trying to solve a crisis that Tesla trusted us to fix.
00:13:25Oh, this again.
00:13:27Aren't you sick of living like this?
00:13:30Cash rations.
00:13:31Blackouts.
00:13:32If I could just fix what Miles-
00:13:34You put yourself in danger, Miles.
00:13:37This work, it cost her her life.
00:13:40You don't know that.
00:13:42She can still be out there.
00:13:44She's gone, Miles!
00:13:47It's been 13 years.
00:13:50Grow up!
00:13:54I'm sorry.
00:13:58But I'm not going to let the same thing happen to you.
00:14:06No, Willie!
00:14:07Stop!
00:14:07Quick!
00:14:08Come on!
00:14:08No, no, no!
00:14:09Stop!
00:14:09No!
00:14:10Come on!
00:14:21One day you'll thank me.
00:14:49Miles!
00:14:52Miles!
00:14:53Shit!
00:15:25Incoming phone call from Dad.
00:15:30Miles?
00:15:35I almost had it, Newt.
00:15:38It was almost there.
00:15:41Care to elaborate?
00:15:44The alcanist worked today.
00:15:48For a second.
00:15:50Luxos was interested.
00:15:53What happened?
00:15:56Dad messed it up.
00:15:58He just doesn't get it.
00:16:01He destroyed the alcanist.
00:16:04My condolences.
00:16:07All that work just...
00:16:09up in smoke.
00:16:11Just like the phoenix in your mom's Greek mythology books.
00:16:14A mythological bird that burns,
00:16:15but from the ashes, rises again in time.
00:16:34It's the beauty of simplicity.
00:16:36The patterns of the universe.
00:16:38But we need the keys to unlock them.
00:16:40Without 369.
00:16:42We have no keys.
00:16:54That better be a hologram of Miles I'm seeing, because the real Miles is in his bed.
00:17:00You know the rule, bedtime before blackout.
00:17:02I was worried about Newt.
00:17:05Did you finish him?
00:17:10Almost.
00:17:12Come here.
00:17:24You see, the power runs through here.
00:17:29But there's not enough room for the higher amp fuses.
00:17:32Any solutions?
00:17:34We can get smart fuses.
00:17:37Or we can run small wires through here instead.
00:17:41Beauty and simplicity.
00:17:43Get those wires tomorrow.
00:17:48Is it broken?
00:17:50Yeah, it's very old.
00:17:51It was passed down to us from Nikola Tesla's family.
00:17:55It helps inspire me to finish his energy work.
00:17:58Tesla was a hard worker.
00:18:00Never gave up.
00:18:02Just like you.
00:18:05Say goodnight to Newt.
00:18:08Goodnight, Newt.
00:18:11One more story, please.
00:18:14Those big eyes aren't always gonna work on me, kiddo.
00:18:19The one with suicide and the evil giant were very young.
00:18:29There's beauty and simplicity.
00:18:33Patterns of the universe.
00:18:38We need the keys to unlock them.
00:18:44Three, six, nine.
00:18:48Three, six, nine.
00:19:01I don't know.
00:19:25Dude, look this up.
00:19:31Discovered.
00:19:32Microfiche.
00:19:32Film used to store printed information.
00:19:35To see them, one must use an extra special old-timey machine.
00:19:39Where'd we find one?
00:19:47Wow, anyone getting Ghostbusters vibes?
00:19:50Shh.
00:19:51I'm whispering.
00:20:17Here's the missing schematics.
00:20:20It's Tesla's plan for processing high amounts of energy.
00:20:24Shouldn't those be donated to the Institute's Museum of Technology?
00:20:27Are you kidding?
00:20:28Look, this is what I need to make the alchemist work.
00:20:31I'm not giving them away.
00:20:33Or I could contact the museum's curator.
00:20:36Nude?
00:20:38Mute.
00:20:43Let's get these printed.
00:20:47Nude.
00:20:48Pull on Mom's archival footage of Tesla.
00:20:52The biggest challenge is getting this free energy to last more than a few seconds.
00:20:58We can draw it from the ionosphere, but we have no way to control it.
00:21:02How high up is the ionosphere?
00:21:05Sorry.
00:21:06Unmute.
00:21:07150,000 feet.
00:21:09Resume.
00:21:09To contain it.
00:21:11Now I'm working on a solution to create consistency called cascading ionization.
00:21:17Theoretically, we should be able to control the energy versus the erratic quality you're seeing now.
00:21:23This.
00:21:25This is it.
00:21:26This is what he's talking about.
00:21:27Getting the process up to the ionosphere.
00:21:33Tesla couldn't stabilize the energy.
00:21:36Mom's design could.
00:21:37At least temporarily.
00:21:40If I'm right about these schematics, I can figure out how to get the process up that high.
00:21:45This might actually work.
00:21:47We might actually harness lightning.
00:21:56What?
00:21:56Mine could never have worked.
00:21:58Couldn't handle the energy throughput.
00:22:00Well, perhaps then burning it to the ground was what it needed to rise again.
00:22:04We're gonna rebuild her, Newt.
00:22:07With Mom's design and my inductors combined.
00:22:11We can make Tesla's plan work.
00:22:14Ooh.
00:22:15What shall we call it?
00:22:20The Phoenix.
00:22:21I foresee a problem.
00:22:23You lack sufficient funds to purchase the capacitors for this build.
00:22:27Perhaps you should be searching for a job.
00:22:29The Institute.
00:22:30Searching their website for job openings.
00:22:38All black.
00:22:39Interesting choice for a job interview.
00:22:41Pull up the blueprints for the Institute.
00:22:43Check public records and pay the 20 bucks to access the files.
00:22:45And figure out what the 10pm blackout vulnerability window is.
00:22:48This is feeling less and less reputable.
00:22:51Mute.
00:22:52Mute.
00:23:08Mute.
00:23:11Mute.
00:23:12Mute.
00:23:13We can manage
00:23:13and let it go quickly.
00:23:22Mute.
00:23:53Jamie, how did you get in here?
00:23:55I can help.
00:23:58Go, go.
00:24:07Hello?
00:24:09Someone there?
00:24:30It's locked.
00:24:31Oh, I can do this part.
00:24:40I don't even want to know how you know how to do that.
00:24:45Hello, ladies.
00:24:46No wonder you have girl problems.
00:24:51You're just going to take them?
00:24:53Borrow them.
00:25:01Oh, no.
00:25:02No, no, no.
00:25:03Hey!
00:25:04Go, go.
00:25:14Let's go.
00:25:15Come on.
00:25:16Get back here.
00:25:18Stop right there.
00:25:31I'll chase you.
00:25:33Move it.
00:25:33Come on.
00:25:35I'll chase you.
00:25:40Grab on.
00:25:41Get over here.
00:26:03When I'm back in cash, I'm taking you shoe shopping.
00:26:13Again.
00:26:14How?
00:26:15Your keypad has a skeleton key.
00:26:18How's that shock wire coming, Newt?
00:26:21You may need to adjust my humor settings.
00:26:24Where were you guys?
00:26:25Could ask you the same question.
00:26:27Strike out with Jack McDummy.
00:26:28McDonough.
00:26:29McDonough.
00:26:29McDon't care.
00:26:30Stop stalling.
00:26:31Where were you guys?
00:26:34Just borrowed a few.
00:26:36Especially parts from my eye.
00:26:38You took my kid brother and stole parts from the Institute?
00:26:42Miles, they have cameras all over that place.
00:26:44I waited until the blackout.
00:26:45I'm not stupid.
00:26:46Sure about that?
00:26:47Cameras have backup batteries.
00:26:50But we were dressed in our clothes.
00:26:52Well, kind of.
00:26:54He came on his own.
00:26:56I helped.
00:26:57Accomplice to a felony.
00:26:59Not something to brag about.
00:27:01Look, who's talking, Miss Malware?
00:27:03Okay, look, I know you're upset.
00:27:05But once Luxo sees what this thing is capable of, I mean, come on.
00:27:08It's gonna make all of our lives better.
00:27:10It'll change the world.
00:27:12The next time you take Jamie along to commit a crime,
00:27:15you'll see just how Batwoman I can get.
00:27:18Got it?
00:27:21Huh?
00:27:26Hey.
00:27:27Come back in a couple days.
00:27:28I'll show you what those capacitors are for.
00:27:30Really?
00:27:31Spoils of war.
00:27:33Come on, little accomplice.
00:27:48Newt?
00:27:49Play a beat music.
00:27:51Playing a beat music.
00:27:54Hey, Phoenix.
00:27:56Let's rise.
00:28:12Newt, hit record.
00:28:14Okay, so Miss Blake, you want me to keep you updated on the progress, and I've made a huge breakthrough
00:28:19with the technology.
00:28:23And I'm beginning to build the larger version of the machine, so...
00:28:27Stay tuned.
00:28:41The coils that pull energy from the ionosphere are going in.
00:28:46It's really starting to take shape.
00:28:50Using the capacitors, the machine should be able to power itself.
00:28:54Any obstacle we find the way around is.
00:28:57If you're part of who you are, what you do show it.
00:28:59Uh, test number one of the Phoenix.
00:29:02We've got the energy with me all about it.
00:29:05I searched for my spark, now I found it.
00:29:08Everybody, I found it.
00:29:10Dude, I think it's working.
00:29:13We've got the energy with me all about it.
00:29:17So the tests are going really well.
00:29:22It did not work.
00:29:24So it needs some minor adjustments.
00:29:26Purchasing fire extinguisher.
00:29:29Good call.
00:29:59Perhaps the name Phoenix was premature.
00:30:03Nude? Mute.
00:30:11If I can get the capacitors to last longer,
00:30:14the inductor cells I'm building will have enough time to contain the energy.
00:30:34Hey, come here.
00:30:59Come here, come here.
00:30:59May I run one final test?
00:31:01No.
00:31:04Trim five seconds off that last clip and send it to Kennedy.
00:31:10She can see our last shot in person.
00:31:24You finished it?
00:31:25And it's not gonna, like, blow us up?
00:31:29I mean, it doesn't look like it's gonna explode.
00:31:32Then again, it didn't look like it was gonna explode last night, either.
00:31:36Well, then let's hope you have a fire extinguisher on hand.
00:31:40Not to worry.
00:31:42Fire safety is our top priority.
00:31:44Tell that to our receptionist.
00:31:46What are you?
00:31:47I am Newt.
00:31:49Cute.
00:31:51No, Newt.
00:31:52Kennedy, Miss Blake, these are my assistants.
00:31:57It's Piper and Jamie.
00:31:59And this is your lab?
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:03All the grades started in places like this, right?
00:32:06And you think you're one of them?
00:32:09I know I am.
00:32:10So is my mom.
00:32:15Well, if this works, then I'm sure she'd be really proud of you.
00:32:20She was always proud of me.
00:32:26Well, let's see it.
00:32:27Oh, um, could you turn off the generator, please?
00:32:30And can you help me with the inductor cells?
00:32:34Please, let's put those there.
00:32:53Okay.
00:32:55You might want to take a few steps back, just in case.
00:32:59Each step back significantly reduces the probability of death.
00:33:16You might want to take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps
00:33:16back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to
00:33:18take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case
00:33:20you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps
00:33:20back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to
00:33:21take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case
00:33:22you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps
00:33:22back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to
00:33:23take a few steps back, just in case you don't have to take a few steps back, just in case
00:33:27you don't have to take a few steps back, just
00:35:16And then she just disappeared.
00:35:18Her husband became obsessed.
00:35:21He was slandering us with conspiracies.
00:35:24But he's just a blue-collar demolition guy.
00:35:26He's a nobody.
00:35:27Is there something I should know?
00:35:30Of course not.
00:35:31He was just a widower processing grief.
00:35:35For 13 years?
00:35:40We'll get right on this.
00:35:44I'm very proud of you, Kennedy.
00:35:47No, leave it.
00:35:50And pencil skirts, dear.
00:35:54Pencil skirts.
00:36:01How did he do this alone?
00:36:03Our people confiscated all her work.
00:36:06Well, Regina must have hidden something.
00:36:11Tell Vigo that we now have a consistent power source.
00:36:15And take this to them personally.
00:36:18Shall we draft the deal for the kid?
00:36:21No.
00:36:22Just pull his address.
00:36:24And if he tries to make a public stir?
00:36:26Then we bury him in legal fees.
00:36:33It's a shame your mom wasn't around long enough
00:36:35to teach you the art of subtlety.
00:37:06So, let's do this, destiny.
00:37:07Don't wait.
00:37:23in the days of old there was a greek god named zeus who harnessed the power of lightning but a
00:37:30giant
00:37:31named porphyrian sought to steal the lightning from him and use it as a weapon for evil
00:37:36regina hey i'll finish the story tomorrow okay okay okay night mom good night here hop in

00:38:53version release it to the world sustainable energy for all you really think they'll do that
00:39:01it's literally their mission statement it's the whole reason their company exists
00:39:05for a genius you sure are dumb that's just on their website so they can feel good about themselves

00:43:21you have no idea
00:43:23what it's like to actually build something
00:43:26you're a hacker
00:43:27all you do is tear down other people's work
00:43:30that's not what i do
00:43:31yes it is
00:43:32and you leave jamie with me for hours

00:44:19you
00:44:19you
00:44:23you
00:44:23you
00:44:43This is what I believe Eastern religions refer to as karma.
00:44:48Newt?
00:44:53Well done, Kennedy. You're already better at this job than Regina ever was.
00:45:01That's not very reassuring considering her job security.
00:45:06Don't be absurd. Laura A. Blake. This is going to be your company one day.
00:45:24I'm sorry.
00:45:36I'm sorry.
00:45:38I'm sorry.
00:45:39I'm sorry.
00:45:44I'm sorry.
00:45:49I'm sorry.
00:46:10Dad, I...
00:46:17Lexus took everything.
00:46:21The schematics.
00:46:23My new machine.
00:46:24My new machine.
00:46:25It worked this time, Dad.
00:46:30Candy said I'd get a deal.
00:46:32Guess the plan was just to steal it all.
00:46:38I should have listened to you.
00:46:44I just wanted to prove that I was smarter than everyone.
00:46:51And I wasn't a nobody.
00:46:55You could be the toughest kid on the planet and you are still worth loving.
00:47:03My machine.
00:47:04I get it, Miles.
00:47:06You're...
00:47:07Yeah, you're a rare breed.
00:47:11But you're still gonna have to pay your dues in this world.
00:47:17I was just trying to help you understand that I was not trying to break your spirit.
00:47:21Or my machine?
00:47:24That was wrong with me.
00:47:28I just got so scared, you know, that it was happening again.
00:47:30And your mom...
00:47:31Dad, come on.
00:47:32No, no, no, no.
00:47:33Look, your mom, she was scared.
00:47:36She just wouldn't admit it.
00:47:39She knew that there was something going on other than energy work.
00:47:44But she wanted to handle it herself.
00:47:47Keep us out of danger.
00:47:50And now here you are.
00:47:51You're working on the same thing.
00:47:54I guess I just thought that if I could just finish her work...
00:48:03She'd come back.
00:48:07She didn't leave you, Miles.
00:48:12She was taken from you.
00:48:16Taken.
00:48:18She would never leave you.
00:48:23She would fight every demon in Olympus to stay with you.
00:48:32Hades, actually.
00:48:34Olympus was for the good guys.
00:48:36Right. Sorry, I don't, uh...
00:48:38I don't speak geek.
00:48:42I haven't thought of that book in a while.
00:48:46I have.
00:48:50After her memorial, I gathered a bunch of stuff that reminded me of her.
00:48:56Call her a birthday present.
00:49:04You justpod.
00:49:07It's gone, there.
00:49:12I thought she was a good girl.
00:49:13I knew she had to stay.
00:49:14It's been a little bit.
00:49:17I looked at her doing this.
00:49:17If she wanted to stay, she was near her.
00:49:17Bye, Kim.
00:49:17And then she was gonna go and get her.
00:49:18Now she was waiting.
00:49:19But she didn't have to leave me alone.
00:49:24And then she was going to be safe.
00:49:27We were looking for another.
00:49:28And she was ready to go.
00:50:29This is the last footage tagged Regina Fletcher on Luxo's campus.
00:50:55Confirm that this is the entire file.
00:50:58Confirmed.
00:50:59This is the final clip in its entirety tagged Regina Fletcher, Head of Development.
00:51:05Mom, what did you do?
00:51:18What's all this?
00:51:22I think Mom left something in here.
00:51:40I think Mom left something in here.
00:52:04Good evening, Catherine.
00:52:34It's fine.
00:52:36Yeah.
00:52:37She said that leaving would be like giving Porphyrion lightning.
00:52:41God knows what that meant.
00:52:43Porphyrion was an evil giant.
00:52:46He waged war against Olympus.
00:52:52Lightning.
00:52:54Lightning.
00:52:58Lightning.
00:52:59Lightning was Zeus's weapon.
00:53:00So giving it to Porphyrion...
00:53:02Right?
00:53:03He would never do that.
00:53:04So...
00:53:06So if Mom is Zeus...
00:53:10Luxos is Porphyrion.
00:53:12It was never about sustainable energy.
00:53:21She found out she was making a weapon.
00:53:34A weapon.
00:53:36I thought this was all based on Tesla's work.
00:53:39Wasn't he a good guy?
00:53:41He was, but he got bitter towards the end of his life.
00:53:44Started designing weapons.
00:53:46His most famous was a teleforce beam or death ray.
00:53:53I think the Phoenix could be modified to power it.
00:53:59It wasn't that she couldn't figure it out.
00:54:01She wouldn't.
00:54:05I ended her work.
00:54:07I gave Luxos the lightning bolt.
00:54:15I can't go fighting giants alone.
00:54:40Jamie.
00:54:41Come on, man.
00:54:44I was a jerk.
00:54:46Okay?
00:54:48I shouldn't have said any of that to you.
00:54:49I was angry and I was taking it out on you.
00:54:55You're a better friend than I deserve.
00:55:02Come on, man.
00:55:02I gave you a robot.
00:55:03It's gotta count for something.
00:55:05Leave us alone, Miles.
00:55:07Wait, please.
00:55:07I'm sorry.
00:55:09Okay?
00:55:11I lost everything that night.
00:55:14I know you know what that feels like.
00:55:17I was a jerk.
00:55:19Tell me something I don't know.
00:55:22Okay.
00:55:24You're the best person I know.
00:55:27You're a hard worker.
00:55:29And you gave Jamie a family.
00:55:32Look, I know I can be arrogant sometimes.
00:55:35Hmm.
00:55:37Most of the time.
00:55:39But I care about you.
00:55:43You're the closest person I have.
00:55:47Hey.
00:55:49And you're the best assistant I have.
00:55:52Look, I did something really bad.
00:55:56I need your help to fix it.
00:56:03The teleforce beam could obliterate an entire city from a continent away.
00:56:07It has to be destroyed.
00:56:09Now I know my mom left a key in this book.
00:56:13She knew Luxus won't even look twice at a kid's book, but no idea what any of this means.
00:56:19You're sure it was on purpose?
00:56:21Yeah.
00:56:23I've scanned the pages and it matches no known language or equation.
00:56:28Did you make a prone code?
00:56:30Possible.
00:56:31Yeah, but there's no key in here to decipher it.
00:56:33An everyday phrase or lucky number is typically used as the key in ciphers.
00:56:42369.
00:56:43Tesla said there's beauty in simplicity.
00:56:46Patterns of the universe.
00:56:47But you need the keys to unlock them.
00:56:49369.
00:56:50Tesla was obsessed with those numbers.
00:56:52So was my mom.
00:56:53If there's beauty in simplicity, maybe a cipher is too complex.
00:56:59What if it was just every third, sixth and ninth letter?
00:57:13N.
00:57:15I.
00:57:16N.
00:57:17E.
00:57:19T.
00:57:20H.
00:57:22I.
00:57:23R.
00:57:24T.
00:57:25E.
00:57:26E.
00:57:28N.
00:57:29N.
00:57:30I.
00:57:31N.
00:57:32N.
00:57:33N.
00:57:34I.
00:57:35Y.
00:57:43It's not computer code.
00:57:45That I know of.
00:57:52Wait, the numbers don't go past 26.
00:58:08Call those numbers out to me
00:58:11Nine
00:58:13Thirteen
00:58:15Sixteen
00:58:17Fifteen
00:58:19Eighteen
00:58:21Got it
00:58:23Twenty
00:58:24Sixteen
00:58:26Nine
00:58:28This is exciting
00:58:30I know, it's like ping pong for computer nerds
00:58:33Nineteen
00:58:34Yep
00:58:35Sixteen
00:58:37Got it
00:58:39Twenty
00:58:46It's Python
00:58:47What?
00:58:48Python, basic computer code, this is definitely malware
00:58:51I used a similar thing for that government website gag
00:58:56Import Zeus protocol
00:58:58It's a Trojan horse
00:58:59She hid the secret to destroying the machine inside itself
00:59:03That's why she kept working on it
00:59:05What's a Trojan horse?
00:59:07In ancient mythology, the Trojan horse hid Greek soldiers allowing them to sneak into the city of Troy and win
00:59:13the war
00:59:14Just like the Death Star
00:59:16Exactly
00:59:17What? No, it isn't
00:59:19The exhaust port on the Death Star was just a vulnerability
00:59:21Who's a nerd now?
00:59:23Can we focus?
00:59:24We have to hack into the computer system, run Mom's Trojan program to shut that thing down and make it
00:59:28useless
00:59:28I foresee a problem
00:59:30We do not know the location of the device
01:00:00I think I can help with that
01:00:02I thought Luxos was going to steal your work, okay? But I'll own that
01:00:07You own all of it
01:00:10I'm trespassing
01:00:11Remember
01:00:17Miles, I'm sorry
01:00:18But my mother is building a deadly weapon
01:00:20They're going to fire it tonight
01:00:22From a warehouse on the outside of town
01:00:24The Teleforce beam is going to destroy the entire East Coast power grid
01:00:28And then Luxos is going to step in and have a worldwide monopoly on energy
01:00:32We have to stop it
01:00:34I think we found a code that can shut it down, but we have to get in first
01:00:38Well, then we have to work together
01:00:44This is your ticket in
01:00:47This will get you inside
01:00:49This code
01:00:50Do you trust it?
01:00:52I trust my mom
01:00:54She did everything for a reason
01:00:58Okay, then you just have to get to the main terminal and run it
01:01:00Just get to the main terminal
01:01:01Why am I the only one putting my neck on the line?
01:01:03I'm putting my neck on the line with the feds
01:01:05My mother has friends everywhere
01:01:06It's going to take every favor, every threat that I have to be able to get them to move on
01:01:10her tonight
01:01:10And that's assuming she doesn't get wind of it first
01:01:13This is a serious long shot
01:01:17Seems like a good night to make our own legacies
01:01:20Building schematics show several entrances
01:01:23But we have no way of knowing guard positions
01:01:25Any live satellite feed we can use?
01:01:27Negative
01:01:27Access unavailable
01:01:29I got it
01:01:33Newt, give me access to your interface
01:01:40Amazing
01:01:40I formally request Piper make any future upgrades to my software
01:01:44There we go
01:01:49Whoa, weapon palooza
01:01:51That's some big guns
01:01:54Newt, watch this feed for a while
01:01:55Analyze our movements and see if there's a pattern we can use
01:01:57Scanning for security patterns
01:01:59I think we might need some backup
01:02:00Kennedy can't just get some thug to do this
01:02:03We're the only one she can trust to destroy it
01:02:05Someone else might try and steal it
01:02:07I have discovered a pattern to their patrol
01:02:09Our best point of entry is here
01:02:11But it would require a diversion
01:02:13An alternate access point is here
01:02:15Which would require climbing through a second story window
01:02:18But for 15 seconds every minute
01:02:20It is unobserved
01:02:22Small window
01:02:23I'm small
01:02:24Not a chance you're coming
01:02:26Why?
01:02:28Well, I promised someone important to me
01:02:30That I wouldn't take you with me
01:02:32Next time I committed a felony
01:02:34You know, I actually think
01:02:35He may be able to help
01:02:37Really?
01:03:02Lookout, that's it?
01:03:03Lookouts are important
01:03:05Next time we have to save the world
01:03:06We'll bring you with us, promise
01:03:07Yeah, sure
01:03:09Newt, record any incriminating evidence you observe
01:03:12Copy that, recording
01:03:14Orby, keep your comms open with Newt
01:03:16Those really are some big guns
01:03:21Newt, give us a countdown
01:03:23Your window will arrive in 10 seconds
01:03:25And Jamie, let us know if you see anything
01:03:28Five
01:03:29Four
01:03:30Three
01:03:31Two
01:03:32One
01:03:33You left before one
01:03:34Okay
01:04:08Okay, you guys are in the clear
01:04:12Catwoman
01:04:26Guys, you've got company
01:04:28Come on, Miles, jump
01:04:33Hurry, he's coming around that wall
01:04:40Okay, he didn't see you
01:04:42Stay low
01:04:44Why are you so sweaty?
01:04:45I'm nervous
01:04:47Never held a girl's hand before?
01:04:51No
01:04:53It's kind of nice
01:04:56I interrupt this pleasant moment
01:04:58To remind you that the power plant
01:04:59Will be destroyed in less than one hour
01:05:01Let's go
01:05:04Sorry, buddy
01:05:06Sorry, buddy
01:05:50What are we gonna do?
01:05:56No, no, wait, hold on
01:06:20It's Newt, he'll be fine
01:06:27It's Newt, he'll be fine
01:06:45Trip wire of our sub-level 2
01:06:46Investigate immediately
01:06:49Orby, tell Newt they've got company
01:06:55I thought this machine was huge
01:06:57Where is it?
01:07:00Newt, you found us
01:07:02I am receiving communication that
01:07:03We have guests
01:07:04Company
01:07:05You've got company
01:07:06Catch the line
01:07:08Slow moves, let it get
01:07:10Attempted murder
01:07:11Log
01:07:20Come on
01:07:20Come on, Orby
01:07:21They need our help
01:07:23We have a breach
01:07:24Whippin' shot
01:07:25On the east side
01:07:26All hands
01:07:27Come on, guys
01:07:28Move, move, move
01:07:29Move, move
01:07:29That's a good level too
01:07:45Well, that's not holding him for long
01:08:02I.D. required
01:08:05Marie, he's coming
01:08:10Any day now
01:08:11That tone is not making me go faster
01:08:16Access granted
01:08:35This is it
01:08:56Teleforce beam target acquired
01:08:58Commencing calibration
01:09:01If this works, Catherine
01:09:03It will be a new dawn for both of us
01:09:14All right
01:09:14Time for distraction
01:09:16I hope this works
01:09:24What was that?
01:09:31Search the grounds
01:09:38Perimeter compromised
01:09:40Initiate evacuation protocol
01:09:41Who said this place
01:09:42Didn't draw any attention
01:09:43I have a hidden bunker
01:09:44Come with me
01:09:48Newt, stay underneath
01:09:49In case we need you
01:10:04This better work
01:10:06It's better work
01:10:15It's better work
01:10:17This better work
01:10:37Shhhhhh.
01:10:53Good day now, Piper.
01:10:54That tone isn't making me go any faster.
01:10:58Here we go.
01:11:00I wouldn't do that if I were you.
01:11:04Jamie!
01:11:05I'm sorry.
01:11:08Step away from the machine.
01:11:10Now!
01:11:19Your mother always did have a knack for getting in the way too.
01:11:23Hmm.
01:11:26Resuming daybreak protocol.
01:11:28Five minutes to launch.
01:11:30But I guess I do owe this all to you.
01:11:32Because you ensured Tesla's magnum opus was brought to life.
01:11:36Yeah, so much for your mission statement.
01:11:38What are you talking about?
01:11:39Your invention will solve the world's biggest energy problem.
01:11:44We're just bypassing all the government red tape it would take to get us there.
01:11:48This is what you wanted, isn't it?
01:11:50Not like this.
01:11:51Oh.
01:11:52Sometimes reality hurts.
01:11:59Yeah, sure does.
01:12:03Jamie.
01:12:04You okay?
01:12:05Yeah, I'm okay.
01:12:09Back away from my son.
01:12:10Back away from my son!
01:12:12So how'd you pull that off?
01:12:14I got some extra demo charges from work.
01:12:16Adding theft of explosives to list of incriminating evidence.
01:12:20Nope.
01:12:20Purge that last one.
01:12:21Let's go.
01:12:22I'm not leaving.
01:12:23This was your mom's mistake.
01:12:24You were not paying for it.
01:12:25Come on.
01:12:25Her mistake was not destroying it sooner.
01:12:28Energy sequence initiated.
01:12:33Duck, duck, duck!
01:12:41Wait!
01:12:41Dad, I can do this!
01:12:44Let me pay my dues.
01:12:48All available is a control room.
01:12:50Infruters located.
01:12:52I'll hold them off.
01:13:02Zeus protocol accepted.
01:13:04Continuing arming procedures.
01:13:06What?
01:13:07No, no, no.
01:13:08It's not stopping.
01:13:09Let me try.
01:13:12I'm locked out of the system.
01:13:14I can't get into the terminal.
01:13:18Huh?
01:13:25Guys, this building's gonna blow!
01:13:27It's gonna shoot itself!
01:13:29Maximum power achieved.
01:13:31Generating teleforce beam.
01:13:33I thought you said that code would shut this thing down and make it useless.
01:13:37I assume that's what it did.
01:13:39Jamie, get down!
01:13:47Zeus protocol accepted.
01:13:56Come on, we gotta go.
01:13:56We gotta go.
01:13:57We gotta go.
01:13:57Grab it.
01:13:58There's too many of them!
01:14:00Miles, let's go!
01:14:02Come on!
01:14:08I can't stop it!
01:14:16I know I can't!
01:14:17It's gonna blow!
01:14:17Your lab's cold work!
01:14:19Teleforce beam generation complete.
01:14:2460 seconds to launch.
01:14:31Push.
01:14:38Just turn!
01:14:49Come on, fast guys!
01:14:50Go!
01:14:51Move!
01:14:53I'mvin' this!
01:14:54This is how fast I go!
01:14:56I'mvin' fast guys!
01:15:0510, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
01:15:23Everybody get down!
01:15:47You did good, bud.
01:15:51Two miles.
01:15:55Great job, Bill.
01:15:59Just wanted to be part of the moment.
01:16:04Newt!
01:16:07My entire CPU flashed before my eyes.
01:16:10It's all right, bud.
01:16:11We'll get you back to fighting shape.
01:16:20All right.
01:16:20Let's go.
01:16:43Oh, my God.
01:17:04Kennedy?
01:17:05You... you wouldn't.
01:17:08You were wrong about me, Mom.
01:17:12I look great in suits.
01:17:40Burn to the ground, as requested.
01:17:43Nice work.
01:17:45Here. It's full of bad guys doing crimes.
01:17:48Thanks.
01:17:50I have something for you, too.
01:17:53You deserve to have this.
01:17:56It's all of your mother's energy research.
01:17:59Her legacy should live on.
01:18:07So what now?
01:18:09First, I think I have some federal cooperating to do.
01:18:12But then Luxos will make you a deal.
01:18:15And we take perpetual energy all over the world.
01:18:18I want the title that the land my workshop is on.
01:18:21And I retain the rights to the Phoenix.
01:18:23And a guarantee it'll never be used in a military application.
01:18:27A scholarship.
01:18:29Under my Regina's name.
01:18:31Done, done, and done.
01:18:33Anything else?
01:18:35An unlimited natural gift card to Alfonso's.
01:18:39Okay.
01:18:40You have a deal?
01:18:47Mr. Fletcher, come with me, please.
01:19:26Mr. Fletcher, thank you so much for coming.
01:19:29Right this way.
01:19:31I read your thesis on Tesla's work, and I know you'll love this exhibit.
01:19:37Now, I'm working on a solution to create consistency called cascading ionization.
01:19:43Theoretically, we should be able to control the energy versus the erratic quality you're seeing now.
01:19:51If only I could harness it into a consistent being, we would have perpetual limitless power.
01:19:59This is the beauty of simplicity, the patterns of the universe.
01:20:03But we need the keys to unlock them.
01:20:07Without 369, we have no keys.
01:20:55And the new world that we are all going in, any of them.
01:21:01need a ride oof i don't know i don't think i'm supposed to get in cars with strange girls
01:21:10ew nice kicks how do you like them sneakers not squeakers newt did they get it confirmed
01:21:17replacements for borrowed capacitors delivered let's go i've got a gift card burning a hole in
01:21:23my pocket alfonso's newt play upbeat music
01:21:38you know i always thought i wanted to be one of the greats but i've learned it was never about
01:21:43that
01:21:45holding the lightning doesn't make you a hero
01:21:50it's what you choose to do with it that matters
