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 can't see.
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 shortages which are
00:05:55further exacerbating Luxus Energy's struggle.
00:05:57Kennedy Blake the Kennedy we're rerouting your flight and relocating you to headquarters for how long
00:06:18Tesla's designs for the atom particle liberated were incomplete so we're still struggling for consistent power source your time is
00:06:25running out
00:06:28threats are not solutions Vigo we will execute on schedule I want this just as badly as you do I
00:06:36hope so I make promises not threats
00:06:54I think he means it I think my daughter has her work cut out for her Kennedy
00:07:07were those the project Daybreak backers is it still on schedule not at all but that is why you
00:07:13were here I want you to take over as head of technological development and lead the energy
00:07:18efforts of Daybreak I won't let you down good because everything that we are rides on the success
00:07:26of this project now Neil has your credentials and will handle your relocation and this whole pantsuit
00:07:39thing no more I'd like to see you in pencil skirts from now on pencil skirts good to see you
00:07:48too mom you
00:07:50have a lunch meeting with the engineers this will catch you up
00:08:01good morning and welcome to Luxos energy leading the world and creating sustainable energy for all
00:08:15well it's Fletcher here to see your head of development one moment
00:08:29you're not on miss Blake's agenda oh I know but I'm sure she'll want to see me
00:08:38that's not how this works call her and schedule an appointment and grab yourself a juice box on the way
00:08:44out
00:09:12ladies and gentlemen I give you the alchemist
00:09:27the 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
00:09:38atoms in the air if Luxos will fund this project together we can take free energy to the world
00:09:45sorry it it what sorry it it's it's still in beta um please don't chase me let's go
00:09:57come on come on guys if I could just talk to Miss Blake you can make her your one phone
00:10:01call
00:10:02from prison prison
00:10:08that's enough
00:10:12what is going on here
00:10:16I 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's not an EMP
00:10:26it's a perpetual energy machine
00:10:31right well 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
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
00:10:51the principles of atmospheric induction are solid if not then how did this happen
00:11:00if you had better funding who's to say you wouldn't blow up the entire block next time
00:11:07my mom
00:11:09she knew this would work
00:11:11Luxus believed her
00:11:12she used to work here
00:11:14yeah I know I saw her when I ran your ID
00:11:18but that was ages ago
00:11:19okay and we need real solutions now
00:11:22not 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
00:11:42thank you
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
00:12:25dad 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
00:12:38right now it's a pyrotechnic mechanism used for blowing up cell phones
00:12:42cut the crap miles
00:12:45this your mom's work
00:12:54there are a thousand things that you can make
00:12:56why this? this was her whole life
00:12:58and look where it got her
00:13:00Luxus 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
00:13:12there'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
00:13:23that Tesla trusted us to fix
00:13:25oh this again
00:13:26aren'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
00:13:39you 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
00:13:49grow up
00:13:55I'm sorry
00:13:59but I'm not going to let the same thing happen to you
00:14:06no, Willie, stop!
00:14:07wait, come on!
00:14:08no, no, no, no
00:14:09no, come on
00:14:21one day you'll thank me
00:14:36Oh, my God.
00:14:49Miles.
00:14:51Miles!
00:14:52Miles!
00:14:53Shit!
00:15:35I almost had it, dude.
00:15:38I 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.
00:16:00He destroyed the alcanist.
00:16:03My condolences.
00:16:07All that work, just up in smoke.
00:16:10Just 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.
00:16:18I need 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 without 369.
00:16:42We have no keys.
00:16:54That better be a hologram of Miles I'm seeing,
00:16:57because the real Miles is in his bed.
00:16:59You know the rule, bedtime before blackout.
00:17:03I was worried 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.
00:17:32Any 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.
00:17:59Tesla was a hard worker.
00:18:01Never gave up.
00:18:02Just like you.
00:18:05Say goodnight to Newt.
00:18:08Goodnight, Newt.
00:18:09Perfect.
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.
00:18:51Three-six-nine.
00:18:51Three-six-nine.
00:18:51Three-six-nine.
00:18:52Three-six-nine.
00:18:52Three-six-nine.
00:18:53Three-six-nine.

00:18:56Three-six-nine.
00:18:58Three-six-nine.
00:18:59Three-six-nine.
00:19:00Three-six-nine.
00:19:00Three-six-nine.
00:19:01Three-six-nine.
00:19:03Three-six-nine.
00:19:05Three-six-nine.
00:19:26Hey, what's this up?
00:19:31Discovered. Microfiche.
00:19:32Film used to store printed information.
00:19:35To see them, one must use an extra-special old-timey machine.
00:19:38Where'd we find one?
00:19:47Wow, anyone getting Ghostbusters vibes?
00:19:50Shh. I'm whispering.
00:20:18These are 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.
00:20:37Nude?
00:20:38Nude.
00:20:43Let's get these printed.
00:20:47Nude.
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.
00:20:57We 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.
00:21:07150,000 feet.
00:21:09Resume.
00:21:09To contain it.
00:21:10Now, I'm working on a solution to create consistency called cascading ionization.
00:21:16Theoretically, 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.
00:21:36Mom'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.
00:21:58Couldn't handle the energy throughput.
00:22:00Well, perhaps then burning it to the ground was what it needed to rise again.
00:22:05We're going to 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, what 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, check 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.
00:22:49This is feeling less and less reputable.
00:22:51Mute.
00:23:12Look at what we need.fre't
00:23:13beliminary BEVERY уже 25 bucks. We're
00:23:14now to be waited every day.ணbble
00:23:14or teria por there, you need
00:23:17it to be waiting. Okay.
00:23:19Please call
00:23:20it. Please call
00:23:23it a bit.
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?
00:26:20You 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.
00:26:29Mick don'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, but once Luxo sees what this thing is capable of, I mean,
00:27:08come on, it'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, you'll see just how Batwoman I can get.
00:27:18Got it?
00:27:26Hey, come 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.
00:27:54Okay, Phoenix.
00:27:55Let'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 stay 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.
00:30:00Purchasing fire extinguisher.
00:30:00The name Phoenix was premature.
00:30:02Nude?
00:30:03Mute.
00:30:04Ooh.
00:30:11If I can get the capacitors to last longer, the inductor cells I'm building will have enough
00:30:15time to contain the energy.
00:30:26Okay.
00:30:27I got to go.
00:30:30Oh, same thingy.
00:30:31Whatever, I don't want to start.
00:30:32I can't get it out.
00:30:34You can't get it out.
00:30:41You can't get it out.
00:30:43What is this, huh?
00:30:44I can't get it–
00:30:45I don't want to try it out.
00:30:45You know what the fuck you're doing here.
00:30:46You don't want to get it.
00:30:59Shall we run one final test?
00:31:01No.
00:31:03Trim 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 going to, like, blow us up?
00:31:29I mean, it doesn't look like it's going to explode.
00:31:32Then again, it didn't look like it was going to explode last night either.
00:31:36Well, then let's hope you have a fire extinguisher on hand.
00:31:40Not to worry. Fire 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.
00:31:50No, Newt.
00:31:52Kennedy, Miss Blake.
00:31:54These are my assistants.
00:31:57Piper 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?
00:32:08I 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, please 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.
00:33:05Oh, gosh.
00:33:05No.
00:33:29Bye.
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.
00:36:37Do not pay for others.
00:36:40Bye.
00:36:48Bye.
00:36:53Bye.
00:36:55Bye.
00:36:56Bye.
00:37:23In the days of old, there was a Greek god named Zeus
00:37:26who harnessed the power of lightning, but a giant named Porphyrian sought to steal the lightning from him
00:37:34and 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.
00:37:42Night, Mom.
00:37:43Good night.
00:37:44Here, hop in.
00:37:54I've got to go in.
00:37:56Catherine 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.
00:38:19I have a plan.
00:38:22Don't worry.
00:38:31Don't worry.
00:38:39Why didn't she call yet?
00:38:41What I showed her was insane.
00:38:44We're wearing a path in the concrete.
00:38:46She's going to call.
00:38:48She'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, here, call it Orby.
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?
00:39:45I 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?
00:40:41Why?
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 he 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.
00:41:36You stay in this car.
00:41:37Come on.
00:41:40What are you doing?
00:41:41That's my stuff.
00:41:43Actually, it's not.
00:41:44See, we bought the property and we own everything on it.
00:41:47No.
00:41:47You 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?
00:42:02This 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.
00:42:26Pull out.
00:42:27Okay.
00:42:41I took everything.
00:42:44At work.
00:42:46Tessal's blueprints.
00:42:47There must still be something.
00:42:49I could...
00:42:49There's nothing.
00:42:51She never called and this is why.
00:42:54I'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?
00:43:07You'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.
00:43:15Well, 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.
00:43:30That'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.
00:43:59Come on.
00:44:08Come on, Jamie.
00:44:08Come on, Jamie.
00:44:08Come on, Jamie.
00:44:10Come on, Jamie.
00:44:16Come on, Jamie.
00:44:18Come on, Jamie.
00:44:19Come on, Jamie.
00:44:19Come on, Jamie.
00:44:19Come on, Jamie.
00:44:19Come on, Jamie.
00:44:19Come on, Jamie.
00:44:19Come on, Jamie.
00:44:20Come on, Jamie.
00:44:20Come on, Jamie.
00:44:22Come on, Jamie.
00:44:23Come on, Jamie.
00:44:28Come on, Jamie.
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.
00:45:09If this is going to be your company one day.
00:45:40Oh look.
00:46:07Dad, I...
00:46:17That's what took everything.
00:46:22The 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.
00:46:33Guess 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.
00:46:51That I wasn't a nobody.
00:46:55You could be the toughest kid on the planet, and you are still worth loving.
00:47:03I 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.
00:47:19I 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, she'd come back.
00:48:08She 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.
00:48:36Sorry, I don't, uh, I 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.
00:48:57I have.
00:49:01Pull her a birthday.
00:49:06Wait.
00:49:06Come on.
00:49:09I have.
00:49:09Come on.
00:49:21Come on.
00:49:22Come on.
00:49:22I have.
00:49:22Come on.
00:49:23I have.
00:49:24Come on.
00:49:25Come on.
00:49:26Come on.
00:49:27Come on.
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.
00:51:06Mom, 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.
00:52:53Lightning.
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?
00:53:04Well.
00:53:05So if Mom's Zeus, Luxos's Porphyrion, it was never about sustainable energy.
00:53:21She found out she was making a weapon.
00:53:35A weapon.
00:53:36I thought this was all based on Tesla's work.
00:53:39Wasn't he a good guy?
00:53:40He 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, she wouldn't.
00:54:05I ended her work.
00:54:07I gave Luxos the lightning bolt.
00:54:15We can't go fighting giants alone.
00:54:36We 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.
00:55:28And 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,
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, 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, but 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.
00:57:14I.
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.
00:57:27N.
00:57:29N.
00:57:30N.
00:57:31I.
00:57:31N.
00:57:32N.
00:57:33I.
00:57:35Y.
00:57:43It's not computer code that I know of.
00:57:52Wait, the numbers don't go past 26.
00:57:55Wait, the numbers don't go past 26.
00:58:11N.
00:58:139.
00:58:1413.
00:58:1616.
00:58:1815.
00:58:2018.
00:58:21got it 20 16 9 this is exciting i know it's like ping-pong for computer nerds 19 yep 16
00:58:37got it 20
00:58:45it's python what python basic computer code this is definitely malware
00:58:51i used a similar thing for that government website gag
00:58:56import zeus protocol it's a trojan horse she hid the secret to destroying the machine inside itself
00:59:03that's why she kept working on it what's a trojan horse in ancient mythology the trojan horse hid
00:59:10greek soldiers allowing them to sneak into the city of troy and win the war just like the death
00:59:15star exactly what no it isn't the exhaust port on the death star was just a vulnerability who's a
00:59:22nerd now can we focus we have to hack into the computer system run mom's trojan program to shut
00:59:27that thing down and make it useless i foresee a problem we 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 it really is miles you led me on you lied to me and you stole my
00:59:48work okay well
00:59:49my mother lied to me about everything you people are single-handedly destroying my mom's legacy
00:59:54do you understand that well your legacy is about to be inventor of a weapon of mass destruction
00:59:59and you'll be the woman who stole it i had no idea luxos was going to steal your work okay
01:00:04but i'll own
01:00:04that
01:00:07you own all of it i'm trespassing remember
01:00:17miles i'm sorry but my mother is building a deadly weapon they're going to fire it tonight
01:00:22from a warehouse on the outside of town the teleforce beam is going to destroy the entire east coast power
01:00:28grid and then luxos is going to step in and have a worldwide monopoly on energy we have to stop
01:00:33it
01:00:34i think we found a code that can shut it down but we have to get in first well then
01:00:38we have to work
01:00:39together
01:00:44this is your ticket in this will get you inside this code do you trust it
01:00:52i trust my mom she did everything for a reason
01:00:58okay then you just have to get to the main terminal and run it just get to the main terminal
01:01:01why am i the only one putting my neck on the line i'm putting my neck on the line with
01:01:04the feds
01:01:05my mother has friends everywhere it's going to take every favor every threat that i have to be able
01:01:09to get them to move on her tonight and 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
01:01:21building schematics show several entrances but we have no way of knowing guard positions
01:01:25any live satellite feed we can use negative access unavailable i got it
01:01:33newt give me access to your interface
01:01:40amazing i formally request piper make any future upgrades to my software there we go
01:01:49whoa weapon palooza that's some big guns
01:01:53newt watch this feed for a while analyze our movements and see if there's a pattern we can use
01:01:57scanning for security patterns i think we might need some backup
01:02:00kennedy can't just get some thug to do this we're the only ones she can trust to destroy it
01:02:05someone else might try and steal it i have discovered a pattern to their patrol our best
01:02:10point of entry is here but it would require a diversion an alternate access point is here which
01:02:16would require climbing through a second story window but for 15 seconds every minute it is unobserved
01:02:22small window i'm small not a chance you're coming why well i promised someone important to me that
01:02:31i wouldn't take you with me next time i committed a felony you know i actually think he may be
01:02:35able to
01:03:04help really
01:03:05save the world we'll bring you with us promise yeah sure newt record any incriminating evidence you
01:03:11observe copy that recording orby keep your comms open with newt those really are some big guns
01:03:21newt give us a countdown your window will arrive in 10 seconds and jamie let us know if you see

01:08:05Marie, he's coming.
01:08:10Any day now?
01:08:11That tone is not making me go faster.
01:08:17Access granted.
01:08:35This is it.
01:08:55Teleforce beam target acquired. Commencing calibration.
01:09:01If this works, Catherine, it will be a new dawn for both of us.
01:09:14All right, 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.
01:10:04It's better work.
01:10:18What's going on in case we need you to get to the site?
01:10:35Click.
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. Five 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, you 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, purge that last one.
01:12:21Let's go.
01:12:22Well, I'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.
01:12:32Duck, duck, duck!
01:12:41Wait!
01:12:41Dad, I can do this!
01:12:45Let me pay my dues.
01:12:48All available is a control rope.
01:12:50Incruter's located.
01:12:52I'll hold him off.
01:13:02Zeus protocol accepted.
01:13:04Continuing arming procedures.
01:13:06What?
01:13:06No, 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.
01:13:25Guys, 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!
01:13:36I 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!
01:13:57Go!
01:13:57Grab it!
01:13:59There's too many of them!
01:14:00Miles, let's go!
01:14:02Come on!
01:14:06Newt!
01:14:08Miles, come on!
01:14:15I can stop it!
01:14:16I know I can!
01:14:16It's gonna blow!
01:14:17It's gonna blow!
01:14:18Love's cold work!
01:14:19Teleforce beam generation complete.
01:14:24Sixty seconds to launch.
01:14:38Just turn!
01:14:49Come on!
01:14:50Fast, guys!
01:14:50Go!
01:14:51Move!
01:14:53Move!
01:14:53I'm moving!
01:14:54Move!
01:15:06Go!
01:15:07Go!
01:15:07Nine!
01:15:08Eight!
01:15:09Seven!
01:15:10Six!
01:15:11Five!
01:15:13Four!
01:15:14Three!
01:15:15Two!
01:15:16One!
01:15:17Nine!
01:15:22Two!
01:15:23Two, Two!

01:15:45Two!
01:15:45Two!
01:15:46One?!
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.
01:16:17To what I call myself for.
01:16:23Here's the one, the device.
01:16:28See you later...
01:16:29Cold to use your accessory, believe me.
01:16:34Hmm...
01:16:35Oh, wow.
01:16:41I'm ready.
01:16:43Pewds, didn´t pick these bands off?
01:16:44Uh, go.
01:16:45Oh...
01:16:46earliest counts.
01:16:50Oh, my God.
01:17:04Kennedy?
01:17:06You... you wouldn't. You were wrong about me, Mom.
01:17:12I look great in suits.
01:17:17What are you waiting for?
01:17:18You know it.
01:17:20Watch out.
01:17:25Watch out.
01:17:27Office is the pinnacle.
01:17:33Oh, my God.
01:17:40Burnt to the ground. As requested.
01:17:43Nice work.
01:17:45Here.
01:17:45It'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.
01:18:02I have something for you, too.
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.
01:18:14And 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?
01:18:34Yes.
01:18:35An unlimited nacho gift card to Alfonso's.
01:18:39Okay.
01:18:40You have a deal?
01:18:47Mr. Fletcher, come with me, please.
01:19:12You have a deal.
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.
01:19:48And you're safe now.
01:19:51If only I could harness it into a consistent being, we would have perpetual, liberating 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.
01:20:19Let's do this.
01:20:19Let's do this.
01:20:20.
01:20:23.
01:21:02Need a ride?
01:21:03Oof, I 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. How do you like them?
01:21:13Sneakers, not squeakers.
01:21:16Newt, did I get it?
01:21:17Confirmed. Replacements for borrowed capacitors delivered.
01:21:20Let's go. I'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.
