00:00I'm Walter O'Brien, I run a team of geniuses who handle worldwide threats only we can solve.
00:11Sylvester is a human calculator, Happy is a mechanical prodigy, and Toby is our behaviorist.
00:17Agent Kate Gallo is our government handler, and Paige helps translate the world for us
00:22while we help her understand her genius son.
00:25Though sometimes our biggest challenge is understanding each other.
00:28Together, we're Scorpion.
00:52You take the back, I'll take the front!
00:54Cuts! Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!
00:56Huh? What's the holdup? What's the matter?
00:58Uh, tech advisor has a note.
01:00The tech advisor, yeah?
01:02You're holding the gun wrong.
01:04Oh, I'm holding the gun wrong.
01:06Listen, I've done a few cop projects in my time.
01:08Yeah, well that sounds fun and all make-believe, Mr. Simmons, but you're not on stage wearing makeup.
01:12If you want to look genuine in the real world, you hold the gun like this.
01:15Why don't you do me a favor, go to craft services, grab a Sanka.
01:18Nice. Have a nice day.
01:22Mr. Gallo, I'm calling from Homeland Security.
01:24Director wants you and Team Scorpion to assemble at the garage in 45 minutes.
01:28Hold on. We got a case? I got my job back?
01:30The answer to both questions is yes.
01:36Hold this for me, would you, Gene?
01:38Wardrobe! I need a suit!
01:46Good job. Making progress. Uh, how about you get the pickup sticks?
01:49Yeah, sure.
01:51Fantastic. More pickup sticks, shall we?
02:00Hey, Walt.
02:03Oh, hey.
02:05Okay, uh, how about we start with some chopsticks today?
02:08You got it, boss.
02:22We've talked about you rewiring the prosthetics.
02:25I'm sorry. I just, we couldn't, we couldn't take more chopsticks.
02:29That's six-figure robotic arm.
02:31Wasting your time. He doesn't listen to anybody.
02:34You're here early this week. No puzzles?
02:37Ain't a visit, son. I've been reinstated, and we got a case.
02:41Well, that's fantastic the mayor gave you your job back.
02:44That must mean the case is dire.
02:47You up for working?
02:49You up for working? I know you got a few more weeks of therapy.
02:52Oh, no, no, no. Han's coming along. Just let me go tell the therapist.
02:57Hey, so I've been called to a brief consult.
03:00Well, the doctor doesn't advise any day trips for another two weeks at least.
03:03I feel, I feel fine.
03:04When was your last dizzy spell?
03:06Can't even remember.
03:08All right, well, you need to avoid stress at all costs.
03:10This isn't a joke, Mr. O'Brien.
03:12I'm a tech geek.
03:14How stressful can it be?
03:16Okay, one tuna paradise, a turkey gobbler, and a pot pie.
03:19Paige, we're going cold over here.
03:21In a second.
03:22I wanted the tuna salad, not a sandwich.
03:24Paige, sometime today.
03:26Nemos, in a second, please.
03:27The tuna paradise is a sandwich. The tuna paramore is a salad.
03:30Paige, either you can do the job, or you can't.
03:32Nemos, for the love of God.
03:36Sleeping on the job?
03:38That's what you've been doing these past weeks?
03:40Mayor, what are you guys doing back? Walter isn't finished with his PT.
03:43Got a text from Cabe.
03:45Cabe doesn't work here anymore. Why didn't I get a text?
03:47Cabe got rehired, and you did get a text.
03:49And what the heck's a tuna paramore?
03:51Aw, so you got a new toy.
03:53Not a toy, a vintage super fun guy talking statuette with variable dialogue chip.
03:57I've turned my focus now to more serious collector's pieces.
04:01I spent my time off trying to evolve a little.
04:03You'll take a licking from my rubber chicken.
04:07I'm sure you were hugely productive.
04:10I spent my time outdoors, applying my behaviorist skills to the animal kingdom.
04:14Not collecting toys.
04:16You're making them.
04:18It was a toy, now it's a weapon.
04:20Very mature. Warfare, sprinkled with arts and crafts.
04:23Ah!
04:25Ow!
04:26I like paintball.
04:28Well, at least one of us didn't completely regress without Scorpion.
04:31Looks like Paige has spent her summer reading.
04:34Nerd.
04:35Actually, while Walter rehabbed, he asked me to take charge of the day-to-day.
04:38In a more meaningful way, you guys handle the science, I handle the business.
04:40Leadership dynamics?
04:42Managing strategic relationships.
04:44The entrepreneur mind.
04:46I've installed energy-efficient light bulbs and a new intercom system so we don't have to shout.
04:50Boring. Want to hear what the new case is already?
04:52So do we.
04:54But we're still waiting for contact from Homeland.
04:56Hey, welcome back, Cotter.
04:58Boop.
05:00I missed you.
05:02Yeah, reciprocated.
05:04I could have made you something better.
05:06How come you only let Cade visit?
05:08Our leader didn't want us to see him in a weakened state.
05:10Classic Hercules complex.
05:12You know, the point is that I'm back and sure that we're all pleased to return to work, so...
05:20Speaking of which, Director Merrick should be here any minute.
05:23Oh, thrilling.
05:25Good to have you back. It's been quiet around here.
05:27My whoopee cushion of doom will blast you to atoms.
05:31What are you saying?
05:33I, uh, I enjoyed the cupcakes that you sent me.
05:37They were moist.
05:40Least I could do.
05:45I shouldn't really get changed.
05:51I don't like that ergonomic chair you got me.
05:53My old chair had a perfectly worn butt groove.
05:58There's nothing sacred.
06:00Hey.
06:01Oh, hey. Yeah, come in.
06:02Oh, I just need a second.
06:03Sure.
06:04It's okay.
06:05Um, uh, here, let me, let me help you.
06:07Oh, thank you.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Oh, I saw the, uh, books on your desk.
06:11You've really, uh, embraced the added responsibility that I've, I've given you.
06:15Yes, uh, the, um, the one constant I found in all of those books is without open communication,
06:20ventures invariably fail.
06:22So the team has to be able to share ideas and concerns and feelings without judgment or repercussion.
06:31There, it's done.
06:32Right, yeah.
06:33Unadulterated information flow is always optimal.
06:37Good.
06:38Uh, because I have some information to, um, flow.
06:43Uh-huh.
06:44It seems when you were back at the hospital unconscious, I, well, I sort of kissed you.
06:53I've had time to think about why, and I've realized that you've helped me and Ralph a great deal.
06:56Ralph? How is, how is he doing? Is he...
06:58In Maine visiting Drew, but I really need to stay on topic or I'll never get through this.
07:01Okay, sorry.
07:02Okay, okay, so, um, this job puts us in intense situations.
07:06Emotions run high, and I really respect you and like you so much as a person,
07:10and I think that those feelings got tangled up and confused, and so I, I, I kissed you.
07:14I, you know, I think it's important there be no secrets.
07:16Open communication.
07:17Right, and I know I don't really have those feelings.
07:21I may have thought I had, and I don't want to risk Scorpion in any way.
07:23So I know I'm rambling, so I'll conclude by saying I think we should move forward as professional colleagues
07:27because that's what we are.
07:30Yeah, I mean, I, I, I appreciate your honesty,
07:32and I agree that what we experienced was just a, a, you know, stressful first year on the job.
07:40Good, um, and since we're following the open communication doctrine,
07:45is there anything you'd like to share?
07:49Uh, no.
07:52Oh, okay.
07:56Well, I think this was a productive talk.
07:58Yeah, me too.
08:00Me too. New intercom works great, by the way.
08:07Eavesdropping is a crime, you know.
08:09Says the woman who assaulted an unconscious man. Felony much?
08:13I'm very uncomfortable right now.
08:15I'm with you. No fraternization means no problems.
08:18I'm right here.
08:20An SUV just pulled up.
08:22Has a direct America arrived?
08:24Not exactly.
08:25What does that mean?
08:28I don't know.
08:34Director Merrick.
08:36You look ravishing.
08:38This is Adriana Molina, new Homeland Director.
08:41What happened to balding grumpy?
08:43Well, let's just say you guys weren't the only ones that Merrick couldn't get along with.
08:46Adriana?
08:47I'd tell you about myself, but I'm sure you'll hack my record soon enough.
08:50Top of class Yale, Georgetown Law,
08:52Deputy Secretary to the UN Human Rights Council,
08:54Director of International Affairs.
08:56Not another day, Mr. Dodd.
08:59In my hand is a jump drive.
09:01You'll download the details to our next case while in transit to RAC.
09:04Rocketry Aeronautics Center.
09:06Yes. Your team is uniquely qualified because as reacquired government assets,
09:10you can be held to strict confidentiality,
09:12whereas private RAC contractors cannot.
09:15Further, you have intimate knowledge of Russian aerospace engineering.
09:18Oh, we don't?
09:19I am looking directly at an illegally obtained Cold War era rocket.
09:24Oh, that thing.
09:26Now, in the past year, you have managed to piss off the LAPD, ATF, CIA, FBI...
09:32NBA.
09:34Snuck into a Clippers game.
09:36Seems Merrick was hoping you guys would screw up enough
09:39that the government would never trust you again.
09:41I am not Merrick.
09:43I want you to be successful.
09:45Now, debriefing begins in the SUV, 30 seconds.
09:51Let's move.
09:54The Russian K-12 satellite a few hours ago struck by space debris,
09:57knocked out of orbit, and now it is hurtling towards Earth.
10:00Rough estimates have it hit somewhere in Southern California.
10:02Spent the last two months at Santa Anita.
10:04Didn't hit one exacta. These odds come in.
10:06Handicapping ponies. That was you using your skills on the animal kingdom?
10:10Satellites fall out of orbit every day.
10:12Why wouldn't this one burn up on reentry?
10:14It's nuclear powered by a 1,000-pound block of plutonium encased in beryllium,
10:18so if it hits the Earth at, say, Mach 30...
10:20You've got an A-bomb.
10:21Destruction radius, 50 miles.
10:23That impact will create a fireball and incinerate everything within five miles.
10:26Then a concussive air blast will level a 45-mile circle after that.
10:30In a city, that's 10,000 office buildings, 2,000 schools.
10:33Anywhere near a populated area, that's 10 million lives.
10:39Three hours till impact, but that is a guesstimate
10:41since we don't have the full specs of the satellite due to Russian security.
10:44They can't just give us the info?
10:46No, their official position is that they don't know of any satellite.
10:48It means it's an illegal spying operation. They can't admit to it.
10:51They cover their butts and one-seventh of the U.S. economy gets taken out.
10:55Win-win for Moscow.
10:56You need to hack the satellite, reset its trajectory so that it dumps into the ocean.
11:00No land impact, no explosion.
11:02Are you with me, Mr. O'Brien?
11:04Yeah, it's just gonna take fast coding, no mistakes.
11:07It's pretty hard to pull off with a hand like this.
11:09I type 100 words per minute. Tell me what to do. I won't mess up.
11:12Let me be clear.
11:13Between the fireball, air blast, and radiation fallout,
11:17there are 10 million lives depending on the people in this SUV,
11:19so messing up is not an option.
11:22Welcome back to Scorpion, everyone.
11:36Welcome to the Rocketry Aeronautics Center.
11:38Wow, you really cleared the place out.
11:40This is so cool.
11:41Well, White House can't risk a panic.
11:43Civilians find out what's happening and they tell one family member.
11:46You got war of the worlds.
11:47A little listen-to radio broadcast, but panic spread in minutes.
11:50Well, speaking of minutes, we have 141. Let's hustle.
11:53Okay, log in. Run edit-boot.com.
11:56Main call on IP host.
11:59Okay, 3.2.168.4.
12:03This is a wonderful job. You're doing great.
12:06Oh, good to be working with you again.
12:09As a team.
12:10Yeah, I concur.
12:13So much for no fraternization.
12:16Uh, Sly, I'm not reading a live signal from the satellite.
12:20There's nothing to connect to. Something's wrong. Doesn't make sense.
12:23Could it be true damage from space debris?
12:25Unlikely.
12:26It's not unlikely. It's nearly impossible. Space debris is dust.
12:28A centimeter swarm of it could knock a satellite from orbit,
12:31but cause severe structural damage.
12:33What exactly are you insinuating?
12:35I'm not insinuating.
12:36Easy, pal.
12:37I'm saying it's illogical that we can't get into a system that has minimal damage.
12:40It doesn't jive with the information that you've provided us with.
12:42Okay, let's take a break. Sylvester, take over the hack.
12:45You got it.
12:51Okay, first aid back, so your people skills are a little rusty,
12:54but that's our new boss you just melted off to.
12:57Walter.
13:00Walter, are you okay?
13:02Yeah, I'm okay. I just got a... I got a headache.
13:06Yeah, I've had headaches. That wasn't one. What the hell is going on?
13:11I've got post-concussion syndrome from the accident.
13:14I get head pains, dizziness, blackout whenever I have to concentrate hard
13:18or whenever things get intense.
13:21Intense?
13:23Intense is all we're dealing with. Why would your doctor let...
13:27He doesn't know about this. I assume Cabe is in the dark, too.
13:30Please don't say anything.
13:31They've never seen me at less than optimum efficiency.
13:34It could affect their performance, and I can't afford that today.
13:38None of us can.
13:39Okay, assess yourself, and don't lie.
13:43Doctor said I will be fully recovered by the end of the month.
13:46Right now, I am 70%.
13:49Perhaps that's why I can't hack the system.
13:52There's millions of lives.
13:54What if I can't do this?
13:56The same question I've been asking myself since you expanded my role on the team.
13:59Walter, I've been having nightmares about being a waitress again, okay?
14:03It's the fear of failure is a feeling you're not used to,
14:05so let's make a pact.
14:07I support you, you support me, and together we make this work.
14:12Walter, nothing is working.
14:14I can't even get an auxiliary telemetry signal.
14:16We are losing time we don't have. We need another way to attack this.
14:19Attack being the operative word,
14:21sociologists have two schools of thought on controls.
14:23Internal controls, which we don't have because we can't get in the system,
14:26and external controls, which are still an option.
14:28We blow the sucker out of the stratosphere with a missile.
14:30To calculate the flight path of the satellite, I need exact measurements.
14:34Altitude profiles, the mass of all of its interior components.
14:37Without precise data, our trajectory will be off and the missile will miss.
14:41We considered an intercept. We don't have the specs you need.
14:44And it's not like you guys have the time to hack Roscosmos
14:47and steal the Russian blueprints, do you?
14:49No, even if I was doing the keystrokes myself, it would take a minimum of a day.
14:52That's it, keystrokes.
14:53We don't need to hack into Roscosmos if we could read the keyboard strokes
14:56of someone entering the Russian system.
14:58Then we'd have the password.
14:59How are we going to get our eyes on some commie's keyboard?
15:02Last I checked, Russia's pretty far away.
15:04There's Russian soil here in L.A.
15:06A Russian conflict.
15:07Yeah. Happy, can you...
15:08Yes, I can, Cape. Give me the keys to the SUV.
15:10You guys prep. We'll be back soon.
15:13And I will need this, too.
15:18You really think this will work?
15:19It sends a signal to unlock a car. I'm just reversing it to receive a signal.
15:23I attach two four-prong, shove it into an outlet.
15:25We pick up every keystroke on the Russkies' computer,
15:28including when they type in the password to Roscosmos.
15:30Speaking of receiving signals, got the message loud and clear.
15:33You don't want fraternization at work.
15:35This is what we want to talk about when SoCal's about to blow up.
15:38If today's my expiration date, this is all I want to talk about.
15:41In short, unlike mold sporing on aged cheese,
15:45at first it's gross, but it grows on you,
15:47and eventually you realize how precious it is,
15:50what a rare and wonderful fungus you have.
15:52You better hope by then the fungus hasn't moved on.
15:55Right.
15:56Really? You agree?
15:57No, make up right.
15:58Oh.
16:01By the way, you're a tech emissary from Japan with no language skills.
16:05Because?
16:06Some sexist Russian dude faced with a nonverbal woman,
16:08you'll be invisible to him, and you can safely plant the device.
16:13Oh, borscht.
16:16May I help you?
16:17Hi, I'm Dr. Tobias Curtis.
16:19This is my tech attache, Yuzuki Fujimoto.
16:23Konnichiwa.
16:24I'm with Homeland, and we're having some trouble connecting with Roscosmos,
16:28and it's urgent we speak with them, a matter of national security.
16:35Oh, you speak Japanese. How fortunate.
16:54Oh, my goodness. So clumsy.
16:57We do not accept any forms.
16:59Please submit a certificate of identification.
17:02You have something to discuss with your supervisor.
17:05We don't have time for this right now.
17:07As long as we don't have a warrant,
17:09no one is allowed to speak with an official.
17:12Hey, you. What are you doing?
17:14Oh, sorry. I was just getting the last pen.
17:16I rolled all the way back here.
17:19Can I just say, you have none of the warm, friendly personality traits
17:22that Russians are known for.
17:23Ms. Fujimoto?
17:24Ms. Fujimoto?
17:29Okay, Happy. We're prepped and ready to receive the data.
17:32Almost done. I'm just translating it from Cyrillic.
17:34All right. That security officer must have started typing as soon as you left.
17:37Huh? Warning Roscosmos that American nutjobs are demanding access?
17:41I'm good at this. I admit it.
17:43Okay. Password is DWOPPYU.
17:48K-M-2000. Run. Enter.
17:51Run. Enter.
17:53Okay, we're in. Sly, you're on.
17:55Searching the system now for any data on Russian K-12 satellites.
18:00Bingo. Somebody pad me?
18:03Do you know what he's doing?
18:04Of course. He's plugging in all the variables that could affect the trajectory
18:07of the satellite's fall, shape, mass, moment of inertia.
18:09Got it.
18:11These are the exact coordinates of the satellite's path.
18:14Where it is, where it's going, changing by the second.
18:16How fast can you get a missile in the sky?
18:18Fast as I can dial.
18:20This is Adriana Molina. Authorization code Foxtrot Foxtrot Bravo Darla 6269.
18:26I have coordinates for projectile intercept. Prepare to receive.
18:29Coordinates confirmed and locked. 3, 2, 1, launch.
18:39We missed the fireworks?
18:40About to start.
18:41You know, Adriana, I was wondering if Homeland told you about our saving the world bonus?
18:45It's for when we save the world.
18:47But I was made aware of money you owe the IRS on undeclared gambling winnings.
18:52Maybe we should table the bonus talk for now.
18:54This is bad. This is bad.
18:57What?
18:58The paths are off. They're gonna miss.
18:59Can't be. I did the math.
19:01Look, the missile's coming in high.
19:12How could this happen?
19:13I don't know. I did the calculations and they were right. They're always right.
19:16I'm sorry. I don't know how I messed up, guys.
19:18Maybe you did. Maybe you just got some bad intel. It happens all the time.
19:21No, no. The specs came directly from Russ Cosby.
19:23Yes, but we were working on assumptions.
19:25The first one being we're dealing with a satellite damaged by space debris.
19:28Walter questioned me on it. Maybe he was right to do so.
19:30What do you mean?
19:31I don't know, but I'm gonna find out because I got a direct line to the horse's mouth.
19:36Something's not adding up and I'm missing it. It's my fault.
19:38No, it isn't.
19:39If I can't think, if I can't solve, then what damn good am I?
19:41This is Molina.
19:42Molina.
19:43Yes, sir, I am aware that it failed. I'm calling you to find out why.
19:48Respectfully, the people in my room are smarter than the people in your room.
19:51And they say that it should have worked.
19:53So either a room full of geniuses are suddenly dumb
19:55or a room full of politicians are lying to protect their own hide.
19:58I know which one I would bet on.
19:59Is she talking to the president like that?
20:01I believe she is.
20:03I'm getting audited.
20:04Well, your candor is appreciated.
20:07Walter was right. Space debris did not knock this satellite out of orbit.
20:10The U.S. government did.
20:11Intentional cheat.
20:13Care to elaborate?
20:14The administration believes the K-12 satellite had military applications.
20:17It was carrying a plutonium to operate a laser system that could be used as a weapon.
20:20So they directed a dummy satellite to strike it and disrupt its orbit.
20:24Hush, hush, because we violated the space warfare treaty.
20:27If the Russians found out, it could be all out war.
20:29Yeah, the satellites must have gotten intertwined.
20:31The mass was much larger than we thought.
20:33The missile never had a chance.
20:35I just hacked NORAD and I got the specs for the dummy satellite.
20:38I am now recalculating flight dynamics,
20:40considering the massive shifts in center of mass,
20:42aerodynamic drag profile,
20:44and the complete modification of angular acceleration.
20:48Impact is in 53 minutes and it's headed straight for Pasadena.
20:51With that mass, the satellite's too close to the Earth to be safely destroyed.
20:54If we hit it now, it's nuclear winter.
20:56So there's no way to stop it?
20:58There's got to be a way. I just have to figure it out.
21:00Okay, close the window and open the coding file on my laptop.
21:04No, no, no, no!
21:05What?
21:06Because I really care about you.
21:08Oh, shoot.
21:11Because I really care about you.
21:15Because I really care about you.
21:17You hacked the hospital security footage?
21:25That dead satellite can't get here fast enough for you, huh, pal?
21:29Okay.
21:30It was simple curiosity and gathering of the facts.
21:33Nothing more.
21:35Okay.
21:36If we're done with the film festival, do we have a plan B?
21:39Yeah, we will. I'm thinking.
21:45That would be NASA, NORAD, the U.N. and NATO
21:48all wanting to know about the unplanned missile launch.
21:50Let the machine get it.
21:52Okay.
21:53That would be NASA, NORAD, the U.N. and NATO
21:55all wanting to know about the unplanned missile launch.
21:57Let the machine get it.
22:07My head is in the game.
22:08Look, if we are seriously at a brick wall, I'm calling for a chopper out of L.A.
22:11What, and let 10 million people die?
22:13We cannot do that.
22:14Look, there is nothing left to do.
22:16By saving yourselves, your minds will save millions more down the line.
22:19Just not today.
22:24I'm sorry, guys. I don't...
22:26I don't have a solution.
22:28Well, if you don't, no one does.
22:30Adriana's right. We gotta go.
22:32Everyone to the roof. We'll be airborne in 10 minutes.
22:43Wait, guys. Guys.
22:44The reason why we can't communicate with the satellite
22:46is because it's too far away for its damaged system
22:48to connect with REC on Earth.
22:50We just need another way of talking to it.
22:52The unmanned X-24G spacecraft.
22:54Well, that's a top-secret spy shuttle.
22:56How do you even know about that?
22:57That jet's the worst-kept secret in the Air Force.
22:59Multiple blogs follow it.
23:00Okay, so the control of the 24G is based out of Thomas Air Force Base.
23:04Okay, so if we can get there and access the 24G's computer,
23:07then we can communicate effectively with the satellites
23:09if they get close enough to each other.
23:11It'll be in proximity over U.S. Samoa in 48 minutes.
23:14We could then redirect it into the ocean.
23:17Okay, Thomas is within blast radius.
23:18If this doesn't work, none of us make it to safety on time.
23:23We're aware of the risks.
23:25Okay, so Lester, you stay here and you prepare the new trajectory codes.
23:28I will reboot the satellite at the base.
23:30You send me the coordinates.
23:31I'm here alone.
23:32What if someone who tried to call shows up?
23:34I'll stay.
23:35Chopper's on the roof.
23:36You heard her. Let's go.
23:39Go.
23:40So, you know, about the video...
23:42Walter, let's talk about it after we stop the A-bomb.
23:46Major Gallo!
23:48Flight research is this way.
23:50Where's everyone going?
23:52When we get word, the whole coast is about to light up.
23:54I'm already gonna take this operation and bug out.
23:57Hope you work fast.
23:59I'm gonna make it.
24:01You guys ready?
24:02Let's go.
24:03Let's go.
24:05Let's go.
24:06Go.
24:07Go.
24:08Go.
24:09Go.
24:10Go.
24:11Go.
24:12Go.
24:13Go.
24:14Everyone's leaving, we're showing up.
24:17Accessing the X24G's flight controls now.
24:24Hey, we're in.
24:25Type colon, run, init, dash, backslash, link.
24:28X, dash, ban.
24:30I'm having a hard time hearing you.
24:32This physical distance mirrors the psychological state
24:34on account of that video incident,
24:36which I've dubbed the embarrassment.
24:38Okay, when the 24G crosses,
24:39it will find and link up with the satellite's computer.
24:42We will only have 20 seconds to reprogram the satellites.
24:45Beyond that, and they will be too far apart to communicate.
24:48Oh, okay, okay.
24:50We're in range in three, two...
24:52Go, Sylvester.
24:53Reprogramming new coordinates now.
24:58It's not accepting them.
24:59The 24G and the satellite haven't linked yet.
25:01Wait, why is it so slow?
25:03The link should have happened.
25:05It's a virus.
25:06Well, you better hurry up and get rid of it.
25:08There's only 14 seconds until the 24G and the satellite
25:10are out of range of each other.
25:11I'm trying.
25:12Since when do you get a virus?
25:13You got it from the hospital server when you hacked the video.
25:16Walter, nine seconds.
25:17No, no, no.
25:18I'm running a clean-up with my left hand.
25:19Come on, kid, you can do this.
25:21I'm almost done.
25:22Five seconds.
25:23Got it. Clear.
25:24Trying to link up now?
25:25Entering new coordinates now and...
25:36Did it work?
25:37The 24G and the satellite are too far apart.
25:40It did not work.
25:45I'm not going to mention the irony of getting a virus from a hospital.
25:49I said I wouldn't mention it.
25:52We should have taken the helicopter.
25:53I hate helicopters, but you're right.
25:58No one is dying today.
25:59Aside from the 10 million, I feel the same.
26:01Walter, no one is dying.
26:02My son is 3,000 miles away, and I'll be damned
26:04if I'm not going to see him again.
26:10Paige, we discussed the reality of an A-bomb in the SUV.
26:14We're in the concussive blast zone.
26:16If you want to call Ralph, call him now.
26:23Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
26:24Don't call him, don't call him.
26:25Happy, what were you talking about, a concussive blast?
26:27We could do that to the satellite with an electromagnetic pulse.
26:31We can reboot the satellite's computer to safe mode,
26:34and then Sylvester can reprogram its trajectory coordinates
26:37and then send it to the ocean.
26:39Wouldn't an EMP just fry it?
26:40Not if the pulse width was precise.
26:42I could build one easily, but how the hell do we get it near the satellite?
26:45There is a meteorology division here in this base.
26:47We use a weather balloon now.
26:49How long would it take you to make an EMP device?
26:51Fast enough. I just need to get my hands on some microwave ovens.
26:53So it's 25 minutes until impact.
26:55We meet outside in front gates at 7.
26:57Microwave ovens?
26:59Well, how would you build an EMP?
27:09Okay, yeah, this will do.
27:12How many do we need?
27:13All of them.
27:21I need all the luck I can get.
27:28Okay, all right, quick test.
27:36Keep your shorts on, I will figure it out.
27:40Here, a loose wire.
27:45Happy?
27:46Happy. You all right?
27:48Works like a charm.
27:50Let me see your eye.
27:54Okay, bad news, your eye is rock hard.
27:56There's pressure building up inside it.
27:58But good news, I can fix it.
28:00Toby, she needs to get in the balloon with me to operate the EMP.
28:02Change in air pressure will rupture her eye,
28:04and I have to treat her stat, or else she'll go blind.
28:06So we...
28:07No, no, that's too much weight.
28:09We'll ascend too slowly and then miss the window to reboot the satellite.
28:12I'm going.
28:13No, it's below freezing conditions.
28:15Oxygen deprivation, not to mention it's a one-way ticket up.
28:17The only way down is the parachute.
28:19We said we'd support each other in this thing.
28:21Neither of us can do it alone.
28:22But together we have a shot.
28:26All right, get your coat on.
28:29All right.
28:30This is difficult one-handed.
28:32This looks like a science fair project. It'll work?
28:34Yeah, I mean, in theory it will.
28:36But sometimes you don't know if a theory is right until you test it.
28:41Ready?
28:44See you on the ground.
28:45Yeah, one way or another.
28:59Oh, wow.
29:05You good?
29:06Yeah.
29:07All right.
29:09Say goodbye to the ground.
29:21Freezing.
29:22Yeah, well, this is just cold.
29:24Freezing happens in a few minutes when we get outside.
29:28Yeah, just hold on.
29:33All right, no punching.
29:34I know it hurts, but your eye is filled with fluid.
29:37And the drain, Schlem's Canal, is blocked.
29:39That is not a real term. You made it up.
29:41It's very real.
29:42Pushing on your eyelid is like using a plunger on a...
29:48You get the idea.
29:50It's ironic that you trust me to save your sight but not date you.
29:55Just keep plunging.
29:58Okay.
30:04Oh, God, I'm sorry.
30:06If I hadn't hacked into that hospital footage, then we'd all be back at the garage, everyone safe.
30:11Walter, you didn't know...
30:13We said open communication, so...
30:20I have had feelings about you.
30:23Similar to the ones that you've had about me.
30:26They confuse me, but ironically, my head injury has provided some clarity.
30:36When I'm not at 100%, it frightens me that I won't be able to help the greater good.
30:40But when I am fully healthy, I...
30:46I can't risk Scorpion not working.
30:50So, you and me, whatever feelings we have about each other, it's...
30:58It's destabilizing, you know?
31:05I think you're right. We should let it lie.
31:10Yeah, what did I tell you about my nightmares?
31:12I mean, the entire time you were in rehab, I realized how close we came to losing the team and...
31:19And what they meant to me, and...
31:21I would never do anything to jeopardize Scorpion.
31:27So...
31:29Yeah, I agree. Friends.
31:32And colleagues.
31:36I agree as well.
31:39We can hear you.
31:40Guys, you're about to be within range of the satellite. Set the device.
31:46Okay, I'm gonna go up.
31:49Good luck.
31:55The satellite is about to pass within range.
31:59Alright.
32:01Almost in position.
32:07Walter!
32:11Everything okay up there?
32:12Yeah, just a little hiccup.
32:15Oh...
32:17Paige, I'll be right back. Bring the battery.
32:26Walter!
32:27Oh, hi.
32:34I can't reach the cord. The parachute buckles are restricting my reach.
32:40No, no, no, that's a bad idea.
32:45Oh...
32:51Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
32:58I got it, I got it, I got it.
33:07Walter!
33:10Oh, God.
33:11Oh, that's a wrinkle.
33:14What did he say?
33:15That's a wrinkle?
33:16What's a wrinkle?
33:19Oh, that's a wrinkle.
33:21Not good.
33:24Okay, okay. Changing plans.
33:28Happy?
33:29Talk Paige through the NPC prints.
33:30Better do it quick because the satellite is within range.
33:33Okay, I'm busy, Perry.
33:35Perry, clear because the air is getting thin and I'm getting loopy.
33:38Okay, put the sun on your right shoulder.
33:40Angle at 45 degrees, hit the red switch.
33:44Oh, God.
33:50I think it's in position.
33:51Wait for Sylvester's command, then hit the toggle switches from left to right. Got it?
33:55Okay.
33:58Janine!
33:59Yeah, yeah, ready to roll.
34:00Okay. Paige, ready?
34:03Hit it!
34:06Guys, I'm a little... I can't focus. Did you say right to left?
34:11Left to right. Hit it together.
34:15Come on. Paige! Paige, you can do this.
34:28Safe mode. The satellite's in safe mode.
34:30Okay, but what does that mean to us?
34:31That means that all of its security measures have been disabled
34:34and I can give it new coordinates to direct it to the ocean.
34:36Freeze!
34:37Do not move.
34:41I can't type. We all die.
34:44Agent Avriana Molina, Director of Homeland Security.
34:47Who the hell are you?
34:49DOD. NORAD said there was an unauthorized missile launch at this site.
34:53It was authorized by me.
34:54You keep away from this manor. I will see to it you're tried for treason.
34:57Sylvester, start typing.
35:05Okay, Walter. You gotta climb.
35:08The cold is cramping my good hand.
35:10And unfortunately, the balloon's at risk, so I would advise a solo descent.
35:14What? Without you? No, no, no. I'm coming with you.
35:17No, no, no.
35:18You're just gonna have to... Oh, God. Climb.
35:20Stay there, Paige. Paige, stay there.
35:22Paige, stay there!
35:25With my new coordinates in place, we can use the Apogee kick motor
35:28to blast the satellite into the ocean.
35:30I've routed the engine ignition to that console to prevent possible overload.
35:33So, Sylvester, come on. Over there. Yes.
35:36Okay.
35:37I'm buckling this.
35:39Around us, and we'll go down together, okay?
35:42Okay, okay.
35:43You have to reach for it.
35:44Yeah, yeah.
35:45Can you get it?
35:46Yeah, yeah.
35:48On my call, hit enter.
35:50Yeah, I got it. I got it.
35:52Hurry. Hurry.
35:53Okay, okay. Got it. Ready?
35:56It's...
35:58It's too short.
35:59What?
36:00It's too short. It won't close.
36:01Oh, God. Oh, God.
36:03Ready?
36:04Now!
36:09It worked!
36:10The satellite's on a new vector, and it's headed straight to the ocean.
36:12So you're saying we're saved?
36:14That's exactly what I'm saying.
36:16Except they're screwed.
36:18Oh, no.
36:19No.
36:21No! Walter!
36:22The satellite's on a new vector, and it's headed straight towards you!
36:26I'm giving you 12 seconds until impact.
36:28You gotta drop now.
36:29Walter, I'm not leaving without you.
36:30Paige, you gotta drop.
36:31Walter, I have an idea.
36:32Paige, six seconds until impact.
36:34Just drop, please.
36:35Hold on. I've almost got this in.
36:37Five, four, three...
36:39Paige, drop!
36:40Hold it steady. I'm connecting my end.
36:42Okay.
36:43Drop!
36:44No!
36:45No!
36:46No!
36:47No!
36:48No!
36:49No!
36:50No!
36:51No!
36:52No!
36:53No!
36:54No!
36:55No!
36:56No!
36:57No!
36:58No!
36:59No!
37:00No!
37:01No!
37:11Well, it's a good thing that we're just colleagues, or this might be, uh...
37:16awkward.
37:25Okay, I wanna get the cameras here and podium right in front of that flag.
37:28Let's get ahead of this thing.
37:30Hey, could somebody move that?
37:36What?
37:38Use your words.
37:39Jerk.
37:44I'm scared.
37:46When's the first time I've ever heard you say that?
37:50Happy?
37:51Happy?
37:53Do you know there's a better chance of a nuclear apocalypse than of me ever hurting you?
38:08What do you see?
38:12A rare and delightful fungus.
38:16The satellite is being recovered five miles off the coast of Santa Monica.
38:19The result of firing its apogee kick motor, which I thankfully engaged,
38:23although I must say I was sweating when I pressed that button.
38:28I pressed the button, too, you know.
38:31I'm not hearing about any of us.
38:33Well, she technically did press a button, so she's not lying.
38:35Politicians, masters of the half-truth.
38:38I had higher hopes for this lady.
38:40I can't take all the credit, though.
38:41Homeland is lucky to have a team of very good scientists under its umbrella.
38:45They helped, too.
38:50Oh, my God.
38:55Murth, you can't handle the Murth.
38:57Toby, I told you before, it's not a toy.
38:59It's a doll that operates on batteries. That's the definition of a toy.
39:02My whoopee cushion of doom will blast you to athletes.
39:05Okay, children. Now it's mine.
39:08I'd better be working with this kind of nonsense again.
39:11I've been working with actors for weeks.
39:13Trust me, this is a maturity upgrade.
39:15Great.
39:17Kowalski, it's my treat.
39:18We're in.
39:19Paige?
39:20Uh, paperwork.
39:21Boring. Kate?
39:22On you? Absolutely.
39:24Walter?
39:25Oh, no, no, no. I'm resting.
39:27That's wise.
39:28The next time you hold out on me in regards to your health, we're gonna have an issue.
39:36Paige told you?
39:38No.
39:42I just know you, kid.
39:46Okay.
39:57You're, uh, perturbed?
40:00On my new business plan for Scorpion, wondering if it'll ever work.
40:03Well, your plan is just a theory.
40:05Its basis and assumptions need to be tested to prove its validity.
40:09Like the microwave EMP.
40:11That was just a theoretical solution until we tested it.
40:15I guess.
40:18Well, like you and me.
40:20You know, we, um...
40:22We assume that our perplexing feelings will interfere with Scorpion, so...
40:29Our theory dictates that we avoid anything unprofessional.
40:35Right.
40:37Right.
40:39Except, you know, um...
40:42We never really tested our assumption.
40:46Yeah, I mean, the one our theory's based on.
40:48That we couldn't work together if we acted on our attraction.
40:53Yeah.
41:07Okay. Yeah, good. Well, we tested that theory.
41:09Honestly, I felt nothing. You?
41:11Same. Starting to believe that my attraction to you is based on the symmetry of your face,
41:15which is a vestigial affectation from cavemen,
41:18and it meant that you were free from genetic malfunctions.
41:21I guess the assumption of our intense chemistry was off.
41:26It can happen with any hypothesis.
41:30But just to be safe, we should probably...
41:31Oh, yes, professional callings. I'll see you tomorrow.
41:33Okay, tomorrow.
41:35Good night.
41:36Good night.
41:39Good night.
41:53Oh, boy.
42:09Oh, boy.
