Last one to solve theirs has to make breakfast.

Well good morning to you too.

I would actually be really happy to take you up

on your offer to make us breakfast this morning.

Mom, no fair!

And we join the match already in progress.

The battle of the Joneses.

Just let yourself in, huh Owen?

Who will win this titanic battle of wits?

Henrietta, the wily veteran,

or Marcy, the gifted rookie?

Owen, what the heck is that?

We needed some new gear to document the new dig site.

Do we even have that in our budget?

But the other archaeologists and surveyors are using the same equipment.

I'd like pancakes, eggs, and bacon, please.

Buttermilk or blueberry?

Blueberry.

Okay, give me one second, okay?

I don't know how you and my mom don't go crazy with boredom.

Looking at maps and digging holes in the ground

in the middle of nowhere.

It's more than that.

You and your mom like to solve puzzles, like that Rubik's, right?

Yeah, but...

Well, that's essentially what your mom and I do.

We solve puzzles.

The histories of a place, any place...

or sometimes the greatest puzzles of all.

The scouts at the dig site just called.

The samples came back from the lab, but the carbon dating is way off.

Did they calibrate the machine correctly?

Yeah, they calibrated it five times.

The results are still registering off the charts.

Whoa.

Hey, you owe me breakfast.

Oh, I am so sorry, kiddo.

Raincheck? Please?

Hey, do you think you can handle things here for a while today on your own?

Yeah, I know.

You're fifteen.

Got it.

I love you. Be good.

Mom, I'm home.

Mom?

Easy now, Miss Croft.

Hey, Owen.

Of all the tools that I taught you to use,

I never imagined that the gun would become the mainstay of your kit.

Please, you know how many dig sites we've had vandalized by wildlife.

Best investment ever.

Maybe if mom had had a gun...

So, there was something you wanted to show me?

54. Yeah, come check it out.

You're gonna like it.

We took soil samples like we always do,

but our ground scanners found something really strange.

A mass of some sort in a sub-layer

that can't be more than six months old.

What?

And even stranger, the carbon dating around the mass

is completely backwards.

There's a 200 year old layer of undisturbed earth around...

on top of soil that by our tests can't be more than a day or two old.

I'm doing exploratory on the mass today.

I've seen this before, Marcy.

What?

Your mother and I.

The night she disappeared...

we saw this exact same phenomenon.

I have a plane to catch, a conference to address.

Otherwise I'd stay and help.

I don't know what this is.

But Marcy, you need to be careful with this.

Call me if you need me.

I will.

And we join the match already in progress.

The battle of the Joneses.

Just let yourself in, huh Owen?

Who will win this titanic battle of wits?

Is this thing recording?

Yeah.

Field recording taken on April 23rd, 2003.

At dig site 438.

Observation and initial excavation of an unknown mass.

Okay, I think I got it.

Great.

I gotta run these samples to the lab.

If anybody...

If anybody finds this...

Please tell Marcy that I love her.

So... so much.

Shh.

They'll hear you.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

What is this place? How did I get here?

I don't know. I've been trying to figure that out myself.

Mom?

What? Mom?

No, that's impossible.

It's been fifteen years.

What? No, no, no. That's not possible.

I've only been here for two weeks. That's... beyond...

Marcy?

Run! We gotta go!

Marcy! Thank god, you found it.

I don't know, but... it's the only way to get in and out of this world.

Okay, let me see if I can figure it out.

I'll hold them off!

No, no, no! What's wrong?

It's different this time!

Just don't overthink it, okay?

Hurry!

I think I almost got it!

Mom?

Marcy?

I remember everything.
