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.
00:05:44Luxus Energy's stock prices continue to plummet as investors lose confidence in the conglomerate's renewable energy programs.
00:05:50There seems to be no end in sight to the worldwide supply chain bottlenecks and raw material shortages, 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, it.
00:09:48What the?
00:09:49Sorry.
00:09:50It, it, it's, it's still in beta.
00:09:53Um...
00:09:54Please don't chase me.
00:09:56Let's go.
00:09:57Come on.
00:09:58Come on, guys. If I could just talk to Miss Blake.
00:10:00You could make her your one phone call.
00:10:02From prison.
00:10:04Prison?
00:10:05Alchemist granted to Kennedy Blake.
00:10:08That's enough.
00:10:12What is going on here?
00:10:16I, I was, I 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, okay, it's not an EMP.
00:10:26It's a perpetual energy machine.
00:10:31Right.
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 then.
00:10:36Wait, wait, 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?
00:11:00If you had better funding, who's to say you wouldn't blow up the entire block next time?
00:11:05You...
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...
00:11:23junkyard thermal coils.
00:11:25This 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.
00:11:41Then 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.
00:11:52My house?
00:11:59You owe me a phone.
00:12:00You owe me a juice box.
00:12:08Thanks.
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. Why this?
00:12:57This was her whole life.
00:12:59And look where it got her. Luxos killed her.
00:13:01That makes no sense.
00:13:03She was their best engineer.
00:13:05So what, she just disappeared?
00:13:07She's up and walked out on us.
00:13:10They are an energy company, Dad.
00:13:13There's no big plot.
00:13:16Oil spills.
00:13:18Price 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?
00:13:30Cass 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.
00:14:06Willie, stop!
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!
00:15:35I almost had it, dude.
00:15:38It was almost there.
00:15:41Care to elaborate?
00:15:44The alcanist worked today.
00:15:48For a second.
00:15:50Luxus 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.
00:16:10Just like the phoenix in your mom's Greek mythology books.
00:16:14A mythological bird that burns, but from the ashes, rises again in time.
00:16:18I need to unlock them.
00:16:34This is 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, we 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.
00:17:03I'll worry about Newt.
00:17:05Did you finish him?
00:17:10Almost.
00:17:13Come here.
00:17:24So, you see, the power runs through here.
00:17:29But there's not enough room for the higher amp fuses.
00:17:31Any solutions?
00:17:34We can get smart fuses.
00:17:37Or we can run smart 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.
00:17:59Tesla was a hard worker.
00:18:01Never 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.
00:18:55Two, fourteen.
00:19:08One has power.
00:19:09Ready?
00:19:10Two, three.
00:19:12Two, three.
00:19:13Three, four, three.
00:19:14Two, three.
00:19:14One, two, three.
00:19:21One, two.
00:19:26Dude, look this up.
00:19:31Discovered.
00:19:32Microfiche.
00:19:33Film 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, I'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.
00:20:37Newt?
00:20:38Newt.
00:20:43Let's get these printed.
00:20:47Newt.
00:20:48Pull on Mom's archival footage of Tesla.
00:20:52Our 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, unmute.
00:21:06One hundred and fifty thousand feet.
00:21:09Resume.
00:21:09To have contained it.
00:21:10Now 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.
00:21:24This.
00:21:25This is it.
00:21:26That's what he's talking about, getting the process up to the ionosphere.
00:21:30Of course.
00:21:33Tesla couldn't stabilize the energy.
00:21:35Mom's design could.
00:21:37At least temporarily.
00:21:39If 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.
00:21:56Mine could never have worked.
00:21:57Mm-hmm.
00:21:59Couldn'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.
00:22:26Perhaps 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 10 p.m. blackout vulnerability window is.
00:22:48This is feeling less and less reputable.
00:22:51Mute.
00:22:52Mute.
00:23:08Mute.
00:23:12Mute.
00:23:12Mute.
00:23:13I'm gonna believe.
00:23:20This chamber is too much.
00:23:22P Ph Isess.
00:23:26I'm gonna admit.
00:23:53Jamie, how did you get in here?
00:23:55I can help!
00:23:58Go, go!
00:24:07Hello? Someone 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.
00:24:45No wonder you have girl problems.
00:24:51You're just gonna take them?
00:24:53Borrow them.
00:25:01Oh, no! No, no, no!
00:25:03Hey!
00:25:05Go, go!
00:25:14Go!
00:25:15Let's go! Come on!
00:25:16Get back here!
00:25:18Stop right there!
00:25:31I'll chase you!
00:25:32Move it! Move it! Come on!
00:25:35I'll chase you!
00:25:40Rabban!
00:25:41Get over here!
00:26:03When I'm back in cash, I'm taking you shoe shopping.
00:26:14Again? How?
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 McDummie.
00:26:28McDonough.
00:26:29McDonough.
00:26:29McDon't care.
00:26:30Stop stalling.
00:26:31Where were you guys?
00:26:34Just...
00:26:34borrowed.
00:26:35A 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,
00:27:08I 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.
00:28:10Newt, hit record.
00:28:14Okay, so Miss Blake, you want me to keep you updated on the progress,
00:28:17and I've made a huge breakthrough with 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.
00:28:45It's really starting to take shape.
00:28:50Using the capacitors, the machine should be able to power itself.
00:28:59Uh, test number one of the Phoenix.
00:29:10Dude, I think it's working!
00:29:16So 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.
00:30:02Nude?
00:30:03Mute.
00:30:11If I can get the capacitors to last longer, the inductor cells I'm building will have enough time to contain
00:30:16the energy.
00:30:26Well...
00:30:27You must have had enough weapons.
00:30:31Look.
00:30:37You'reori.
00:30:38You'reori.
00:30:40You'reori.
00:30:40You'reori.
00:30:41Oh, man...
00:30:43You'reori.

00:33:05okay
00:33:08okay
00:33:10okay

00:34:10okay
00:34:11okay
00:34:11okay i know it worked for a few seconds but the problem is just the capacitors
00:34:15if you had a custom shield to protect them from the high throughput you could scale it up and then
00:34:18you can
00:34:19empower entire countries
00:34:20power entire countries
00:34:21the world
00:34:24exactly
00:34:27you would need a lot of resources for that build a huge team
00:34:33that's why
00:34:33that's why i came to you
00:34:38you in
00:34:45okay i know it only worked for a few seconds but the problem is just the capacitors
00:34:48if you were able to
00:34:51who
00:34:52he's building the atom particle liberator
00:34:54what does he want
00:34:56payout for the design and credit for the invention along with his mother
00:35:01who's his mother
00:35:02regina fletcher
00:35:06regina
00:35:06she was head of development here
00:35:09she was a thief actually
00:35:11she was stealing our technology and sabotaging our designs
00:35:14she had to be fired
00:35:15and 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.
00:35:28Is 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.
00:36:05Well, 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.
00:36:38What?
00:36:38No.
00:37:04I'm sorry.
00:37:04I'll just pick it up.
00:37:04I'm sorry.
00:37:04I'm sorry.
00:37:04I'm sorry.
00:37:05I'm sorry.
00:37:23In the days of old, there was a Greek god named Zeus who harnessed the power of lightning.
00:37:30But a giant named Porphyrian sought to steal the lightning from him and use it as a weapon for evil.
00:37:36Regina.
00:37:39Hey, I'll finish the story tomorrow, okay?
00:37:41Okay.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:43Night, Mom.
00:37:43Good night.
00:37:44Here, hop in.
00:37:54I've got to go in. Catherine says it's urgent.
00:37:57Don't.
00:37:58Phil.
00:37:59Just say that you were asleep.
00:38:01Better yet, don't go back at all.
00:38:02I can't.
00:38:03But leaving now would be like handing over Zeus's lightning to Porphyrian.
00:38:08Okay, geek mythology is not my forte here.
00:38:10Just trust me.
00:38:12That's all I'm asking.
00:38:14They have been following us all week.
00:38:16Just tell me what it is you found out.
00:38:18Please, let me help.
00:38:20I have a plan.
00:38:22Don't worry.
00:38:39Why did she call yet?
00:38:41What I showed her was insane.
00:38:44We're wearing a path in the concrete.
00:38:45She's going to call.
00:38:48She's going to call.
00:38:49She's going to call.
00:38:50What's your plan when she does call?
00:38:52Help them build a bigger version.
00:38:55Release it to the world.
00:38:56Sustainable energy for all.
00:38:59You really think they'll do that?
00:39:01It's literally their mission statement.
00:39:03It's the whole reason their company exists.
00:39:05For a genius, you sure are dumb.
00:39:07That's just on their website so they can feel good about themselves.
00:39:10No company gets that big by giving things away for free.
00:39:15You need to do some laundry.
00:39:17Get right on that.
00:39:20First...
00:39:21Here.
00:39:22Call it or me.
00:39:23So you don't have to keep bugging me about playing with Newt.
00:39:27You got me a present on your birthday?
00:39:30What?
00:39:31Isn't it today?
00:39:34I guess I kind of forgot.
00:39:36Piper didn't.
00:39:40How about we leave the Batcave for some nachos?
00:39:45Hey, I really can't leave the Phoenix alone.
00:39:48Please!
00:39:49Seriously, what if something actually happened?
00:39:50One round of nachos.
00:39:51Remember the melted cheese?
00:39:54I do love the melted cheese.
00:39:57This is a very bossy family.
00:40:05What's your dad doing tonight?
00:40:07No birthday plans?
00:40:13Jamie, can you get me some water?
00:40:16But you still have some.
00:40:22There.
00:40:23I'm very thirsty.
00:40:25Now shoot.
00:40:27Miles, what happened?
00:40:29Nothing.
00:40:31You're so bad at lying.
00:40:34We had a fight.
00:40:37He broke the first version of my machine on purpose.
00:40:41What? Why?
00:40:43He...
00:40:43He's crazy.
00:40:45Thinks Luxus killed my mom and is out to get me.
00:40:49But still, you must miss him.
00:40:52How would you know?
00:40:55Because I miss mine and...
00:40:59He didn't even care about me.
00:41:05All I miss is being able to do laundry for free.
00:41:09Whew.
00:41:10Indeed.
00:41:11The smell is unbearable.
00:41:13Newt.
00:41:14You don't have smell receptors.
00:41:16I've calculated relative stench.
00:41:31He's here.
00:41:34No.
00:41:34Wait.
00:41:35No, no.
00:41:35No way, you stay in this car.
00:41:37Come on.
00:41:40What are you doing?
00:41:41That's my stuff.
00:41:42Actually, it's not.
00:41:43See, we bought the property and we own everything on it.
00:41:47No. You can't just...
00:41:47It's all quite legal.
00:41:48You could just hire a team and take it up in court if you want.
00:41:52Kennedy.
00:41:54You're not like this.
00:41:55You're not like her.
00:41:56Right?
00:42:01This is exactly who she is.
00:42:06Your mom could not complete the job.
00:42:09And now you've done it for us.
00:42:11Regina would be so proud of you.
00:42:14Miles, don't.
00:42:15You're trespassing on my property.
00:42:17But don't worry.
00:42:18I won't press charges.
00:42:20I'm not a monster.
00:42:24Let's go, Kennedy.
00:42:25Pull out.
00:42:27Okay.
00:42:41I took everything.
00:42:44At work.
00:42:46Tesla's blueprints.
00:42:47There must still be something I could...
00:42:49There's nothing.
00:42:50She never called and this is why.
00:42:53I'm such an idiot.
00:42:56We can fix this.
00:42:58We could sue or...
00:42:59And pay for it with what, Piper?
00:43:01I'm trying to help you.
00:43:02Your help is the last thing I need right now.
00:43:06What?
00:43:06You're the one who dragged me out for a birthday dinner.
00:43:09I told you I can't leave the Phoenix alone.
00:43:11Now I have nothing left.
00:43:14Huh.
00:43:14Well, forgive me for making sure you celebrated your birthday.
00:43:18I don't know why I bothered since we're clearly worth so little to you.
00:43:22You have no idea what 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.
00:43:29That's not what I do.
00:43:31Yes, it is.
00:43:32And you leave Jamie with me for hours.
00:43:34Do you ever stop to think that he might be getting in my way?
00:43:37How could...
00:43:40He loves you.
00:43:42He looks up to you.
00:43:43And some role model you are.
00:43:46Lying to your dad.
00:43:47Stealing so you can change the world.
00:43:49You don't want to change the world.
00:43:50You want the world to tell you that you're brilliant.
00:43:53Get out!
00:43:58Come on, Jamie.
00:44:28You're right.
00:44:28On your mortgage, you'll be冷 worshipped.
00:44:44This is what I believe Eastern religions refer to as karma.
00:44:48Newt.
00:44:53Well done, Kennedy.
00:44:56You'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.
00:45:08Laura A. Blake.
00:45:09This is going to be your company one day.
00:45:28Do we need your company?
00:45:34Do we need your company one day?
00:45:35We need your company one day.
00:45:58Have a great day.
00:46:11Dad, I...
00:46:17Looks like it took everything.
00:46:21The schematics.
00:46:23My new machine.
00:46:24My new machine.
00:46:25It worked this time, Dad.
00:46:30Kennedy said I'd get a deal.
00:46:32I guess 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.
00:47:04I get it, Miles.
00:47:05You're a rare breed.
00:47:11But you're still going to 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.
00:48:34I love this for the good guys.
00:48:36Right.
00:48:36Sorry, 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.
00:49:03Let her, uh, we put her back.
00:49:12I'll ask about her.
00:49:15Okay.
00:49:18Okay.
00:49:23What the hell?
00:50:55Confirm that this is the entire file.
00:50:58Confirmed. This is the final clip in its entirety tagged Regina Fletcher, Head of Development.
00:51:05Mom, what did you do?
00:51:19What's all this?
00:51:22I think Mom left something in here.
00:51:27Okay.
00:51:38Okay.
00:51:42Okay.
00:51:43Okay.
00:52:04Good evening, Catherine.
00:52:07Good evening.
00:52:24Good evening.
00:52:25Good evening.
00:52:35Good evening.
00:52:41Good evening.
00:52:42Good evening.
00:52:55Good evening.
00:52:58Good evening.
00:52:59Lightning was Zeus' weapon.
00:53:00So giving it to Porfyrion...
00:53:02Right.
00:53:03He would never do that.
00:53:04So...
00:53:06So if Mom is Zeus, Luxus is Porfyrion, it was never about sustainable energy.
00:53:21she found out she was making a weapon
00:53:34a weapon i thought this was all based on tesla's work wasn't he a good guy
00:53:40he was but he got bitter towards the end of his life started designing weapons
00:53:45his 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 she wouldn't
00:54:05i ended her work i gave luxos the lightning bolt
00:54:15we can't go fighting giants alone
00:54:39jamie come on man
00:54:44i was a jerk okay i shouldn't have said any of that to you i was angry and i was

00:55:11i lost everything that night i know you know what that feels like
00:55:17i was a jerk

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 it can be arrogant sometimes

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 can obliterate an entire city from a continent away
00:56:07it has to be destroyed
00:56:09now i know
00:56:10my mom left a key in this book
00:56:13she knew luxos won't even look twice at a kid's book
00:56:16but 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
00:56:24and 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
00:56:35is 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
00:56:55maybe a cipher is too complex
00:56:59what if it was just every third, sixth, and ninth letter
00:57:14n
00:57:14n-i-n-e-t-h-i-r-t-e-e-n-n-i-n-n-i-y
00:57:44it's not computer code
00:57:46that i know of
00:57:52wait the numbers don't go past 26
00:58:09call those numbers out to me
00:58:11nine
00:58:13nine
00:58:14thirteen
00:58:15sixteen
00:58:17fifteen

00:58:34sixteen
00:58:37twenty
00:58:38got it
00:58:39twenty
00:58:45it's python
00:58:47what
00:58:48python
00:58:48basic computer code
00:58:50this is definitely malware
00:58:51i used a similar thing for that government website gag
00:58:56import seuss 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
00:59:08the trojan horse hid greek soldiers allowing them to sneak into the city of troy and win the war
00:59:14just like the death star
00:59:16exactly
00:59:17what
00:59:17no 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
00:59:34i think i can help with that
00:59:39you screwed me
00:59:41it's not that simple
00:59:42it really is

00:59:54do you understand that
00:59:55well your legacy is about to be inventor of a weapon of mass destruction
00:59:59and you'll be the woman who stole it
01:00:01i had no idea luxos was going to steal your work okay but i'll own that
01:00:07you own all of it

01:00:18but my mother is building a deadly weapon
01:00:21they're going to fire it tonight from 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
01:01:09to be able to get them to move on her tonight
01:01:10and that's assuming she doesn't get wind of it first
01:01:12this is a serious long shot
01:01:17seems like a good night to make our own legacies
01:01:21building 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 access 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
01:01:45there we go
01:01:49whoa
01:01:50weapon palooza
01:01:51that's some big guns
01:01:53newt
01:01:54watch 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
01:02:00canady can't just get some thug to do this
01:02:03we're the only ones 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 or come
01:02:26why
01:02:28well i promised someone important to me that i wouldn't take you with me next time i committed a felony
01:02:34you know i actually think he may be able to help
01:02:37really
01:03:01look out that's it
01:03:03lookouts are important
01:03:05next time we have to save the world we'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
01:03:22your window will arrive in 10 seconds
01:03:25and jamie let us know if you see anything
01:03:28five

01:03:46you
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.
01:04:41Okay, 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 to remind you that the power plant will be destroyed in less than one hour.
01:05:02Let's go.
01:05:05Sorry, buddy.
01:05:15It's hard to see.
01:05:18I love you.
01:05:19It's fine.
01:05:23It's fine.
01:05:26It's fine.
01:05:28It's hard to see.
01:05:33It's fine.
01:05:34It's fine.
01:05:35It's fine.
01:05:50What are we going to do?
01:05:56No, no, wait, hold on.
01:06:20It's Newt, he'll be fine.
01:06:44Trip Wiravar, sub-level two.
01:06:47Investigate 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 we have guests.
01:07:05Company, you've got company.
01:07:07That's the line.
01:07:08Slow motion, Nicky.
01:07:10Attempted murder.
01:07:11Logged.
01:07:20Come on, Orby.
01:07:21They need our help.
01:07:23We have a breach.
01:07:24Whip it hot.
01:07:25On the east side.
01:07:26All hands.
01:07:27Come on, guys.
01:07:28Move, move, move.
01:07:29Move, mate.
01:07:30That's a good level, too.
01:07:31Move.
01:07:45Move.
01:07:45That's not holding him for long.
01:07:48Come on, please.
01:07:50Move.
01:07:51Move.
01:07:52Move.
01:07:54Move.
01:08:01Come on.
01:08:02ID required.
01:08:05Marie is 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. Commencing calibration.
01:09:01If this works, Catherine, it will be a new dawn for both of us.
01:09:14Alright, time for distraction.
01:09:16Hope this works.
01:09:25What was that?
01:09:31Search the grounds!
01:09:38Perimeter compromised.
01:09:40Initiate evacuation protocol.
01:09:41Who said this place didn't draw any attention?
01:09:43I have a hidden bunker. Come with me.
01:09:48Dude, stay underneath in case we need you.
01:09:50I don't know.
01:10:05That's 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!
01:11:04I'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.
01:11:26Resuming 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.
01:11:54Ah!
01:11:56Ah!
01:11:58Ah!
01:11:58Ah!
01:11:58Oh!
01:11:59Oh!
01:12:00Oh!
01:12:03Jamie, you okay?
01:12:05Yeah, I'm okay.
01:12:09Back away from my son.
01:12:10Back away from my son.
01:12:12Back 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.
01:12:20No, purge that last one.
01:12:21Let's go.
01:12:22Well, I'm not leaving.
01:12:22This 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!
01:12:45Let me pay my dues.
01:12:48All available to the control room.
01:12:50Incruter is 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.
01:13:13I'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.
01:13:28It'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.
01:13:36I 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 right.
01:13:59There's too many of them!
01:14:00Miles, let's go!
01:14:02Come on!
01:14:09I 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.
01:14:38Just turn!
01:14:49Come on!
01:14:50Come on!
01:14:50Fast, guys!
01:14:50Go!
01:14:51Move!
01:14:53Whoa, I'm moving!
01:14:54This is fast as I go!
01:15:0510, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
01:15:23Everybody get down!
01:15:29No!
01:15:31No!
01:15:40No!
01:15:42No!
01:15:43No!
01:15:45No!
01:15:46No!
01:15:46Come on!
01:15:47You did good, bud.
01:15:51Two miles.
01:15:54Great 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.
01:16:18We'll get you back.
01:16:20We'll get you back.
01:16:33I'll see you later.
01:16:34See you later.
01:16:35And what?
01:16:43Let's go.
01:16:44Let's go.
01:17:04Kennedy?
01:17:06You...
01:17:06You wouldn't...
01:17:08You were wrong about me, Mom.
01:17:11I look great in suits.
01:17:14I'm good.
01:17:14I know I'm like, but...
01:17:24You've got to go.
01:17:26Good.
01:17:29Good.
01:17:33You're right.
01:17:39Watch out.
01:17:41Look out.
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. Clatcher, come with me, please.
01:18:51Oh, my God.
01:19:26Mr. Fletcher, thank you so much for coming. Right this way.
01:19:31I read your thesis on Tesla's work, and I know you'll love this exhibit.
01:19:36Hey, now 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 of your scene.
01:19:49Now.
01:19:51If only I could harness it into a consistent being, we could have perpetual, liberating power.
01:19:59This is the beauty of simplicity, the patterns of the universe.
01:20:04But we need the keys to unlock them.
01:20:07Without 369, we have no keys.
01:20:15¶¶
01:20:16¶¶
01:21:02You need a ride?
01:21:03I don't know.
01:21:05I don't think I'm supposed to get in cars with strange girls.
01:21:08Ew.
01:21:11Nice kicks.
01:21:12How do you like them?
01:21:13Sneakers, not squeakers.
01:21:16Newt, did they get it?
01:21:17Confirmed.
01:21:18Replacements for borrowed capacitors delivered.
01:21:21Let's go.
01:21:21I've got a gift card burning a hole in my pocket.
01:21:25Alfonso's?
01:21:26Newt.
01:21:28Play upbeat music.
01:21:38You know, I always thought I wanted to be one of the greats.
01:21:42But I've learned it was never about that.
01:21:45Holding the lightning doesn't make you a hero.
01:21:50It's what you choose to do with it that matters.
01:21:52Newt.
01:21:55Newt.
01:21:56Newt.
01:22:09Newt.
01:22:17Newt.
