All language subtitles for SCORPION - S03 E03 - It Isnt the Fall That Kills You (720p - Web-DL)

(Wind whooshing)

Sylvester: Walter?
Walter, can you hear me? Walter?

(Screams)

Sly, what's happening?

You're 5.5 miles
above the ocean,

falling at roughly
53 meters per second

without a parachute!

Okay, this is where a
plan would be useful.

Please tell me you have one!

Male voice (Recorded):
Deep breaths.

Feel all stress leave your body.

Inhale through the feet.

Exhale from the crown.

A biological impossibility.

Doesn't mean it literally.
It's a metaphor.

Makes him sound like an idiot.
That's a simile.

Cleanse your mind
of all thought.

(Scoffs) Impossible.

The brain is
constantly thinking,

even during sleep.

In fact, a 2013 study found

neural activity in
deep-coma subjects.

(Exhales)

You both said you would
give this a chance.

We are here for relaxation.

Sorry. Sorry.

And we will find Serenity,
even if it kills us.

(Electrical crackling)

Male voice: Scan your body

for all pockets of
negativity, and release it.

What's going on?

Oh, welding solar panels.

I thought we could go a little
green, save a little green.

No, with the dali-lame-a's.

Oh, Walt is tense
about Paige dating Tim,

Toby's tense about...
Your secret husband?

Yeah, and it all stresses
sly out big time,

so hence the hokum.

Don't knock meditation.

Even the marines are
using it these days.

Why don't you pull up a
mat, then?

Male voice: Inhale white light.

(Inhales deeply)

Pass.

Hold for three seconds.

Exhale black smoke.

Three seconds?
That was barely 2.38 seconds.

Thought we were
supposed to relax.

You're right, uh...
I'm going to reset it.

Okay... (Door opens)

Tim, there is no way.

No, I'm telling you,
i think that she is.

Son of a bee sting.

Paige: Guys, settle this for us.

Tim swears the
"where's the beef" lady

is the same woman as

the "I've fallen,
and I can't get up" lady.

Thank goodness.

I was worried it might be
about something trivial.

If I'm wrong,
i gotta buy dinner, so...

No, if you're wrong,
you have to cook dinner,

including your
blueberry crumble.

This guy can bake.
It's like heaven in a pie tin.

Well,
I have a project to work on.

(Humming a tune)

This is your urgent project?

Actually, yes, it's...
It's our garage floor plan.

Triple-a.

I assume this has nothing to
do with your car insurance.

It's my "active
avoidance algorithm."

I track the typical
daily movements of Paige,

indicated here with
a "p." I assumed.

And Tim. "I"?

Interloper. Oh.

Anyway, areas where
they typically interact

have exclamation points,

and the numbers denote duration.

So, for example, at 2:00 P.M.,

Paige and Timothy
congregate in the kitchen

for coffee and banal banter

for about eight
minutes and 36 seconds.

Now, from my desk,
I would have an unobstructed view,

and that kind of irks me.

Kind of? Anyway...

But thanks to triple-a,

I know to be here,
at the monitor tree,

where I occupy myself with work

until they're separated.

Now, this map identifies
36 such hot spots.

Hmm. You know,
some world-class behaviorists,

like me, might say this
will drive you crazy

if it hasn't already.
Oh, you're one to talk.

You're avoiding the
happy situation.

Just because I've
stopped hounding her

does not mean I'm avoiding it.

Check this out.

What is this?

That's a dossier
of all my suspects.

Any one of these bozos could
be happy's mystery spouse.

Hold on.

Ray?

He was in our
lives, then he left.

Maybe he's commitment-phobic.

The point is,
where you're avoiding your problems,

I'm meeting mine head-on, Walt.

You got the triple-a,
I'm doing the triple-h.

Hunting happy's husband.
Paige: Hey, guys.

Um... hi.

Am I interrupting something?
Both: Nope.

Okay, uh,
Richard elia's downstairs.

I think he has a job for us.

Cool. Cool.

Okay.

My company has our first
manned space launch

in three days.

Make a few orbits,
then splash down.

Routine stuff,
bit it's make or break for us.

We have to meet this deadline,

or we lose our next
round of funding,

and NASA gives our contracts
to space x or virgin galactic.

What do you need from scorpion?

Well, recognize this?

That's Walter's throttle design.

After you so
generously open-sourced

your rocket research,

my guys adapted some of your
best thinking to our bird.

Walt's throttle's revolutionary.
That's what I thought,

but it doesn't work.
Sylvester: I can assure you

we have empirical
evidence that it does.

I know that your
private beach launch

last Christmas was successful,

but when we scaled it up
to a much larger rocket,

we found some
instability issues.

Take a look.

Hey, I know you guys
saved elia's daughter

from a cartel last year,

but didn't Walter
also wreck his Ferrari

and burn his building
to the ground?

Uh, well,
the Ferrari was one of nine,

so I'm pretty sure
he didn't miss it.

And, um,
the building wasn't our fault.

Oh. Although Walter did
hit elia over the head

with his laptop that day.
Really?

(Whispering): I don't put
everything in the case summaries.

These numbers can't be right.

You dumb engineers screwed up.

I'd be happy if you
could prove them wrong.

Walter, time is of the essence,

and I'm more than
willing to pay a premium.

Sylvester: Fuel levels
are looking good.

You're go for testing, guys.

Happy: No way the
problem's your throttle.

I bet it's their valve system.

Well, we'll soon find out.

So this contract you're competing
for, what is it?

Giving rides to NASA
until they get their own

manned program back
up and running?

It's like "space uber."

Our sights are set
a little higher.

Private companies like
ours are the future

of space exploration.

See, we intend to take the next

giant leap for mankind.

Put a man on Mars. Or a woman.

A whole colony, actually.
And Walter's throttle

could play a big part.

That's why I saw the
news Van outside.

A little PR for
your company's ego?

A little PR never hurt
anybody, Toby.

Besides, scorpion should
get some good press

if Walter can get
everything going.

He'll fix it. He always does.

Walter: Diagnostics complete.

Checking the results.

Happy: Told you.

Elia, your engineers'
redundant valve system

is destroying.

Walt's throttle ratio.

Our experts advised
us to put that in

to protect against
standard instability

below 60% of thrust.

Walter: There won't
be the instability,

and I can prove it; Just
let me undo what you did

and run some tests.

I'll head to mission control,
pick up the proper valves.

Elia: Looks like you guys are
gonna be here for a while.

I'll have my
assistant order lunch.

Is Greek okay?
Anything's fine. Thank you.

As long as it has an "a" rating
from the board of health.

Understood.

You sure you're okay
with Greek food?

Might make you emotional.
Oh, shut up.

We rented an indie
Greek film last night,

and I might have cried.
Yeah, she tried to hide it.

Paige: It was romantic.
I can't help it.

True love always makes me cry.

It was one tear.

It was sweet, like you.

Yeah, right.

Female computer
voice: Intercom off.

Take that. (Mutters)

You're such a man, Tim.

(Muttering)

Sly,
what does the radar look like?

On it.

Oh, boy, big storm coming in.

Happy: Rockets are
giant lightning rods.

We better get Walt
out of that tin can.

Hey, Walt,
you hear that weather report?

Sly: Hello? Walter?

You copy, kid?

Walter!

Ah, the triple-a.

What-what does that mean?

That means he took his comm out.

What about the capsule's radio?

Must have turned that off, too.

Happy, it'd probably be prudent

for you to go back
there and get him out

until this storm clears.

Roger that.

(Thunder rumbling)

(Thunder crashing)

(Electrical crackling
and sizzling)

(Alarm blaring)

Oh, boy, oh, boy oh, boy!

Elia: What's happening?
The engines fired,

and I can't shut 'em down.

Lightning must have
struck the connections.

Did Walter do it on his end?

Sylvester: Not likely.

The fact that they
are firing proves

that the lightning
struck the open circuit

that Walter was working on.

The whole thing got fried.

That sucker is gonna launch.

Guys,
that sucker's gonna launch.

Oh, man,
this sucker's gonna launch.

There's an escape slide
if he can exit the hatch,

cross the gantry and
get into the bunker.

Wait,
does Walter have time for that?

Sylvester: Math is
not in his favor.

He needs to make a decision.

Female computer voice:
T-minus 25 seconds to launch.

He's shutting the hatch. 'Cause if it
launches without it sealed, he's dead.

He's gotta strap in.
When that thing goes up,

inertia will pin him down,

make him feel three
times his weight.

Female computer voice:
T-minus 15 seconds.

T-minus ten seconds.

Nine, eight, seven...

T-minus five, four...

Female computer voice:
Three, two,

one...

(Tires squeal)

Not good.

(Alarm blaring)

Cabe: We gotta raise
Walter on the radio.

He has got bigger problems
than communications

if he wants to survive
the next few minutes.

What problems?
Problem number one:

Systems control.

The telemetry of the
rocket is a mess.

The lightning strike
scrambled the computers.

Lightning struck Apollo
12 during launch.

Control came back on
when the astronauts

switched to auxiliary and
the computers rebooted.

Does Walter know about that?

I sure as hell hope so.

(Alarm blaring)

(Strained grunting)

(Computer buzzing and trilling)

Toby: And if he gets
the computers restarted,

then he can deal with

problem number two,
atmospheric pressure.

If he doesn't
pressurize the cabin

as the capsule gets higher,
his blood will literally boil.

How much time does he have?
Less than a minute.

Button's in the copilot panel,
three seats in that capsule.

Let's hope Walter
jumped in the right one.

(Alarm blaring)

(Grunts)

Can he breathe up there?
Oxygen is involved

in pressurizing the cabin so
the systems are connected.

If Walter can get to
that button in time,

he'll have plenty of fresh air.

If not...

Do you have an abort button?
Yes.

And if we abort,

Walter's capsule
separates from the rocket,

parachutes deploy from
there, and he just...

Falls back to earth safe and sound.
Yes.

Then just do it already!
We can't until Walt

gets the computers back up.

That brings us to
problem number three.

What's problem number three?

The abort window's closing.

That's problem three.

He has to abort before the
rocket goes into space,

and he can't do that until
the rocket's computers reboot.

(Panting): I have to abort.

Come on! Come on!

(Groans)

(Grunting)

(Beeping)

(Electronic whirring
and trilling)

Walter's computer's back on.
I'm hitting abort!

Come on, come on!

(Beeping)

Oh, no. Oh, no.

I can't abort. I can't abort!

Guys, guys!
Don't press the button.

Don't press the button. (Grunts)

(Beeping)

No, no, no, no!

No! (Yells) What the hell?

Lightning fried the
parachute package.

If we abort the capsule without a
chute, we kill Walter.

(Beep) (Relieved
sigh, then chuckles)

Good work, guys.

Okay, I'm getting data from the
medical sensors in the seats.

Walter's still alive,

so we got that going for
us, which is nice.

What happens now,
he just keeps traveling

into outer space forever?

No, the rocket was designed
to blast the capsule

into a low-earth
orbit and then stop.

Which means?

It means Walter is
reaching space right now.

And the capsule is
detaching as we speak.

But the rocket was only
fueled two thirds to capacity

for the test,
which is not enough

to maintain a stable orbit.

So the capsule is
in a decaying orbit

and will crash to the earth

in 26 hours.

And he'll die because the
capsule has no parachutes.

That's about the size of it.

Problem number four,
get Walter home.

How? His ride's busted. It's not like he
can hitchhike. Happy: Not necessarily.

The international space
station's escape pod

could pick up Walt.

Sly? Pulling it up now.

Won't work. Iss is on the
other side of the earth.

Check out the dor log.

There's a Russian iss

resupply rocket
launching in a week.

And our capsule conforms to
international docking standards.

We convince them to
move up their timeline,

dock with Walter and
bring him back home.

(In Russian accent): Hey,
Vladimir, on way home,

please pick up vodka,
borscht and 150-pound irishman?

(Normal voice): Are you kidding?
These are Russians.

Why would they change their
schedule to help uncle Sam?

'Cause then we'd owe 'em one.

You take Paige,

go to the Russian consulate.

Throw homeland's weight around,
and see what you can get done.

Copy that. Keep us posted.
Absolutely.

Speaking of keeping us posted,

that takes me to problem number
five, communication.

Take a look at the damage
done to the rocket.

When the rocket
ripped from the tower

during blastoff,
a piece of debris

must have fallen into
the communication array.

We cannot talk to Walter.

What about Walter's comms?

(Sighing): Okay.

Anyone hear me? Oh...

Of course you can't.
Happy: Comms are a no go.

The capsule has
radiation shielding,

which blocks the signal.

Well, then,
what about an air force awacs plane?

A big communications bird like
that could more than make up

for the rocket's
communications array.

And then they could
relay a signal

from the sky back
down to you guys.

My corporate jet's hangared
here, but it doesn't

have the kind of broadcast
equipment you'd need.

Happy: I know how we can get it.

Okay, cabe, I need a hand.

I need your plane gassed up and
pilot-ready in five minutes.

A story on advancements
in private sector rocketry

has become a cautionary tale

as an unscheduled blastoff

may have launched a
civilian into space.

We have been prevented
entry into mission control

or an audience with...
(Tires screech)

Very subtle, happy.

(Speaking Russian)

My government would
be happy to help.

However, in addition to funding

and technology from Mr. elia
to help move up our launch,

we require one thing.

Which is what?

Credit.

When this mission is over,
we want your president

to make a statement
telling the world how

Russian space program

saved an American
homeland agent.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's
gonna happen... Done.

We need to consult
with cabe first...

Agent cabe gallo gave me
permission to act on his behalf.

Sir, you a have a deal.
Excellent.

I will leave you to make
the necessary arrangements.

(Clears throat)

What was that?

We can't just agree that the U.S.
is gonna kowtow to Russia.

And we both know that cabe

didn't authorize
you to do anything.

That's right.

So I'm on the hook, not you.

I'd do it for any
member of the team.

Now, make the arrangements.

That was Tim.

Looks like I'm
gonna have to make

an uncomfortable call
to the white house.

Well, I am ready here.

Okay, guys. Give it a shot.

Okay, connecting to you now.

Happy: Signal's hot.

Relaying now. Ok, Toby,

give it a try. Walter?
Walter, do you copy?

Guys... guys, I hear you.

Can you hear me? We got him.

Yes, Walter, hello.
We can hear you.

I'm zooming in.

Walter, Mr. elia is very angry,

and he wants his rocket returned

right now, young man.

I'm gonna return it,
just probably not in one piece.

My parachute is shot,

and my orbit is decaying.

I assume you all
know that already.

I figure I've got 25
hours before I crash.

Any ideas?

Yeah, you're gonna bum a ride.

A Russian spacecraft
will be coming

to pick you up in
plenty of time.

Toby: So sit back, relax,

and enjoy your flight.

I could play you
my meditation app.

No, thanks, um... (Clanging)

Toby: Hey, Walt,
don't forget to pick me up one of those

"my friend got
launched into space,

"and all I got was this
lousy t-shirt" t-shirts.

(Clanging) Do you
guys hear that?

Hear what? (Clanging continues)

(Clanging)

A clang from the hold.

No, don't copy any clanging.

The hold's empty.

(Banging)

I beg to differ.

Why is he opening the hold?
There's no sound coming from it.

This could be why.

Oxygen tanks must have
taken a hit during launch.

O2 levels are dangerously low.

That doesn't make any sense.

Warning sensors
should've gone off.

Well, not if they were
damaged, too.

Oh, man, that clanging
only exists in his head.

This is bad.

How bad?

If he's having false
sound perceptions,

that means he's already
suffering from hypoxia,

which means that cabe
won't have to make

that uncomfortable call
to the white house,

'cause Walter doesn't
have a day anymore.

If we don't get him oxygen,
he's dead in 32 minutes!

So how do we know if things
are gonna be getting worse?

He'll have full-blown
hallucinations.

Oh, hello.

Let me help you out.

Hello, Walter. I've missed you.

Guys, why didn't you tell me

that Paige was in
the cargo hold?

I think things just got worse.

And that would be
problem number six.

Hey, Walter... pal...

I need you to sit
down, conserve oxygen

and stop talking to
people who aren't there.

His O2 levels are dropping
at an alarming rate.

He has less than 28 minutes!

Why doesn't he respond?
He can hear.

Sensory cells on his corti
are converting vibrations

into neural messages,
which are carried to his brain.

So, yes,
technically he hears you,

but he doesn't hear you.

Simply put,
Walt's taken a vacation from reality.

Paige: Oh, wow.

Oh, the view is so
beautiful from here.

It's breathtaking.

I hadn't noticed it.

I'm focused on something
much more lovely.

That is so sweet. Mm.

And poetic.

I remember everything
you taught me.

My days of not being able to
put it into practice are over.

I can restrain myself

when I hear something
factually inaccurate.

I can engage in small talk,
no matter how insipid.

I can remember to
compliment someone

when I observe something
about their appearance.

For example, you look absolutely
stunning in that outfit.

We really shouldn't
be listening to this.

He doesn't know
what he's saying.

He's sick. Da, da, da.

What he's saying
is making me sick.

Making me sick, too.

Thank you. Mm.

It's what I wore
when we first kissed.

But you know that because...

You think about that
kiss all the time.

What I wore, my perfume.

How my lips felt.

It's all burned
into your memory.

I have the data stored, yes.

Now, I know you think you
know my limitations...

What I am capable of,

or more accurately,
incapable of.

But...

I can still surprise you.

Really?

Prove it.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

It's what I wore

at that art fund-raiser
two years ago.

I never forgot how
you looked in it.

It's a halston.

It should be called a galaxy.

Because it contains
a heavenly body.

(Air rushing) (Screams)

What was that noise?

Just some space debris.

Come here.

I didn't know you could dance.

Just body movements

and physiology synched
to rhythmic patterns.

You know, I am well aware

that with your knowledge
of kinesiology and biology,

you could be as strong as
Tim if you wanted to be.

If I wanted to waste my
time lifting heavy objects

over and over...

But you don't need to do that,

because you're already
lugging around a great,

big brain.

♪ Just as long as I'm your man ♪

Oh.

If Walter knew we
were seeing this,

he'd choose to remain in space.

You're my whole world.

I'm just a moon that
orbits around you.

That's it. Orbiting moon.

That's how we're
gonna save o'brien.

Sylvester: Walter is running
out of oxygen and time.

You need to break it down quickly.
Happy: He said "moon."

The moon is just a satellite.

Man-made satellites always
have a little bit of fuel

left in their booster rockets.

And they use liquid
oxygen for fuel.

Okay, satellite information
is mostly public information.

I just need to find one
that's going to cross paths

with Walt's capsule.

Oh, I found one. Here.

A Norwegian
telecommunications company.

I'm a little confused how
this is all gonna work.

I'm glad you asked, cabe.

As Walter gets closer
to the satellite,

I will hack said satellite

and use its thrusters
to fly it directly

into the capsule's cargo hold.

Walter releases liquid oxygen,

and as it warms,
it turns to a gas.

He could breathe it in and get
that brain of his working again.

Sounds great,
except for the fact that

I've been watching
Walter dance by himself

for the last two minutes.

For this to work,
he has to be cognizant enough

to release the cargo hold
door, to get to the satellite.

Walter!

Walter, I know you can hear me.

Listen to me, son.

It's no use, cabe.
I'm looking at him.

He's talking to invisi-Paige.

You can't get through to him.

Whoa. Oh, she can!

What? What'd I... what'd I do?

Not "what did you do," but
what you are about to do.

You are about to break

the psychotropic grip that
hypoxia has on our boy wonder.

Why is he dancing?

In layman's terms,
he's running out of oxygen and he's loopy.

And the only person
he'll talk to is you,

'cause he thinks that
you're up there with him.

What? Wh-what is he saying?

Things.

Oh, boy.

Paige, you only have a few
minutes, so talk to him

and get him to pull
that big blue lever

that opens the exterior hatch

so sly can guide a
satellite inside.

What if I can't do it?

Then he dies. But, Paige,

you know how to talk to us.

That's why you're on this team.

We know you can do this.

Okay, everybody out.

Why? What if you need our help?

This is a private conversation
between me and Walter.

Everybody out.

Clock's ticking.
Let's go. (Claps)

Come on.

You too, happy.
I can hear you over the mics.

Happy: Damn it.

(Intercom clicks off)

Walter: I have a
surprise for you.

Close your eyes.

Can I open them now?

Yes.

Baked Alaska.

Beats the hell out
of blueberry crumble.

Mmm. Oh.

It's perfect.

It's the most scientifically
interesting dessert.

Air trapped in small meringue
pockets acts as an insulator,

slowing heat transfer.

So the 450-degree oven does
not melt the ice cream.

Can you show me how to make it?

In the oven

in back of the garage?

We could bake together

and have fun,

but we'd...
We'd have to go home first.

Just us?

Just us, just you and me...

me, but if you want to go home,

you have to pull the large...

blue lever near the seat.

That will get you home.

Ah, I see the lever.

You're lying right next
to it on the chaise.

Um, that's right. It's right...

next to me. Yeah.

(Breathing shallowly)

Oh,

wal... Walter.

Are you okay?

Why don't you...

sit down next to me?

I'm confused. Well, I know.

It's because you're not
getting enough oxygen.

No, it's 'cause you picked Tim.

I know I can't be what you need.

I know I can't be
emotionally present

the way that you deserve,

but I always thought that...

That eventually,
that you want to...

You want to be with me.

And...

That's why it hurts.

Because...

(Exhales)

because I love you.

I love you, too, Walter.

And we-we can be together.
You just have to...

pull that lever,
and it'll be just you and me.

And we'll be together...

Forever.

I don't see the handle,

I just see your hand.

Well, that's what I meant.
Take my hand.

Pull me to you.

Do that, and everything will be
okay, Walter.

Now pull me close.

(Air rushing)

(Sighs)

The hatch is open.

Yes!

That's a good job. You okay?

Yeah.

Great work in there.

Couldn't have been easy.

What'd you have to tell him?

Uh, whatever he needed to hear.

(Sighs)

Okay, I am into the
Norwegian satellite.

Now I just need to manipulate

the thrusters,
and I will be able to

guide it through the external
hatch within minutes.

Walter opens the interior hatch
and the liquid O2 warms to gas

and he stays alive.
I'm not so sure about that.

He can't open the interior
hatch if he's passed out.

And if he doesn't open the hatch...
He doesn't get the oxygen.

And if he doesn't
get the oxygen...

Then Walter dies.

Walter!

Walter, wake the hell up!

Wait, what's going on?

He's unconscious!
Let him hear your voice.

Walter!

Walter, it's me.
Remember, you promised

to come back to
the garage with me!

Walter! It's no use.

He's out.

Cabe: All right,

so if he's out cold,

how we gonna get
the oxygen to him?

We don't.

But maybe we can get
him to the oxygen.

I don't like where
this is heading.

And where is this heading?

Happy wants me to
use the thrusters

to push the capsule
into the atmosphere,

where he'll be
surrounded by oxygen.

But Walter's in the capsule.
How does he get to the oxygen?

See, that's the part
that I don't like.

We remotely blow the hatch.

The change in pressure
sucks Walter out

into the sky,
where he'll be able to breathe.

We covered this
in medical school.

Falling thousands of
feet without a parachute,

it's bad for your health.
I'll catch him.

Mm, I don't think they make
baseball gloves that big.

No, on a seal mission,
we once did a halo jump.

One of our guys passed out.

He had a bad mix of
stuff in his tank.

I dove after him, I caught
him, i pulled his chute.

If I could catch him,
i can catch Walter.

Except I am backing
the satellite

into the cargo hold right
now, as we speak.

There is no time for you

to get into a plane and get
all the way up there. Plus,

if I don't push this capsule

into the atmosphere
within the next...

180 seconds.

180 seconds,
Walter will suffocate!

Cabe: I can do it!

I had jump training
in the corps,

and this plane is already
chasing after the capsule.

It's the only hope he's got.

Elia, you got to have
emergency chutes on this rig.

Back closet, on the top.

All right.

Timing has to be perfect.

Sly? Do you have any idea

how many variables
need to be computed

in order to make cabe
and Walter intersect?

No! But you do.
So figure it out!

(Muttering): Okay...

Last time you did this?

30 years ago.

Wow. I'm not even 30.

Shut up. Sylvester: Okay, cabe,

I just got your speed and
coordinates from your pilot.

Walter's capsule is plummeting
through the atmosphere,

so we got to do this now.

How much do you weigh?
200 pounds?

207.

I start a program on Monday.

Okay,
that will affect calculations.

All right, cabe,
when I say, "go,"

you need to leap.

Yeah, I got it, kid.

Sylvester: Walter's
capsule is burning

through the thermosphere.

Okay, on my count,
I'm going to tell cabe

to leap out of a
perfectly good plane

and then eject my friend
into the atmosphere

without a parachute.

Don't worry about me, sly!

You just tell me when!

Cabe, now!

Okay, seconds away from launching
Walter, but somebody's

gonna have to push that button
because i-i can't do it.

I'll do it. Great.

You volunteered for
that job pretty quickly.

(Button clicks, beeps)

All right, genius eject in
three, two, one.

Now.

(Beeps)

Oh, no!

What do you mean, "oh, no"?!

He's out of the capsule.
That's what we wanted.

Despite the power that pulled
him out of the capsule,

he was still able to hang
onto the lever longer

than somebody
should've been able to.

He thought it was my hand.

His subconscious tried
to hang onto you.

Given the speed and distance
of what we're dealing with,

one second can mess up
all of my calculations.

Cabe could miss.

Walter?!

Walter, can you hear me?

Walter!

(Shouts)

Sly, what's happening?!

You are 5.5 miles
above the ocean,

falling at roughly 53 meters
per second without a parachute!

Okay, this is where a
plan would be useful.

Please tell me you have one.

Hold, please.

Wh...
uh, sly, what are you doing?!

He is falling likely to his
death, and cabe might miss

catching him midair in a
one at a one million shot

because he was
hanging onto a lever

that he thought was
imaginary Paige!

Would you like me
to tell him that?!

No, it's best you not say that.

Happy: Maybe we can fix

cabe's trajectory

by using physics.

Cabe, spread out your arms,

palms out for a second,
let wind resistance slow you down.

Hope that was enough!

Hey, Walter. It's Sylvester.

Sly, what the hell?!

I'm sorry you're stressed out,

but you got to do me a favor

and look to your right.

(Groans)

You see that little
dot coming in hot?

That is cabe.

When he collides with you,

you need to grab
him and hold tight.

This will be a
violent collision.

It's like snagging a hard spiral

that's thrown your way.

Okay, just cradle the football.

Don't fight it,
or it will bounce off your hands.

I never caught a football!

I think I'm wide
on the approach!

Lean in the opposite direction
to counteract the variable.

I'm trying!

I can't seem to...

Walter!

(Groans)

Cabe!

Cabe!

Walter!

I missed him! Cabe.

Pull your chute.

Guys, please tell me

there's a plan "b."

Okay. Just got off the horn

with our friend admiral pace.

There is a naval sub

on maneuvers in
the immediate area.

They've been dispatched
to pick up cabe and...

Retrieve Walter.

Retrieve?
We're not just gonna let him fall.

Paige, I didn't mean it like that.
It's just...

It's just that we're
out of options.

We're scorpion.
We're never out of options.

There must've been situations

where people have fallen
without a chute and lived.

Exceedingly rare situations.

I'm looping Walter back in.

We need his brain.

Hey, Walter.

It's the gang,
but we don't have a plan "b" yet.

Well, now's a good
time to think of one!

Happy: That's why
we're searching

for common factors

in parachute fail
survival stories.

I remember a guy in Kansas

hit a plowed field and lived.

I once read a story about
a guy who crash-landed

in the okefenokee swamp.

Paige: Freshly
turned over earth,

swampland...
They hit something soft.

Walter's about to hit water.

Water's soft.
Sylvester: No, no, no.

The surface tension of water
doesn't allow for compression.

If he hits the water at this
speed, it's like cement.

Walter: The common factor

is aeration. I need bubbles.

He's right...
swampland is naturally aerated,

so is tilled soil.
We just need to aerate the water.

I was a platform
diver in high school.

Was there a sport
you didn't play?

In practice, they softened
the water by using a machine

that blew bubbles into the pool.

It helped prevent injuries.
That's a pool.

We're talking about
the pacific ocean.

But Walt will just
hit a small area.

Sly can calculate the
exact coordinates,

then we'll just
need a big explosion

deep underwater that
is perfectly timed.

It'll roil the water,
break the surface tension

and cocoon Walt's
body when he hits.

My odds of survival are low.

Your current odds of
survival are zero.

This is our only shot, buddy.

I'm gonna call admiral
pace at naval command.

I'll tell him we'll have
coordinates and launch orders

for the rescue sub asap.
Launch orders?

I'm gonna detonate a
torpedo right under Walter.

That will provide

happy the explosion

that she's looking for.

(Exclaiming)

Man the torpedoes.
We have direct orders

to fire on admiral
pace's command.

Aye, aye, admiral. Fire!

My math has the torpedo

detonating in ten seconds.

Toby: Walt, feet
together, toes pointed,

arms at your side, chin tucked,

and try to relax.
Oh, sure, relax. No problem.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

This is xo Calvin
of the USS grandin.

We have retrieved
Walter o'brien.

He is alive.

Repeat: He is alive.
Yes! (All cheering)

Yes! (Exhales)

Yeah! Come on, man!

Come on!

Aah! Scorpion!

Both: Scorpion!

Hey. Hey.

You should be resting.

Well, I've been
resting for five days.

I'm going stir crazy.

Well, too bad.
Now take your pill.

I don't like methylprednisolone.

Uh, it makes me jumpy.

Toby says it keeps inflammation
down around your l4.

L5. Whatever. Take it.

So...

How's your head?

It's better. No more headaches.

And, um... the memory loss?

Um, well...

I remember the fall,

the torpedo explosion.

Um... nothing after that

except for waking
up at the hospital.

I meant, uh, up in the capsule.

No memory at all of
that, of what you were

thinking or experiencing?

No, nothing.

But that makes sense,
considering the O2 levels.

Toby (Clears throat):
Sorry to interrupt,

but you got a visitor, boss.
Mr. elia.

He's resting. Nonsense.

If I don't move around,
I'm gonna lose my mind.

Uh, what were you
guys talking about?

Nothing, just chatting.

Excuse me. I can help you

downstairs. He's fine.

Hey.

Yes?

Why are you pressing to
see what he remembers?

Uh, I'm worried about his brain.

It's scorpion's... top asset.

Bullpoop. You want to know if he
remembers confessing his love.

Bullpoop.
I want to know if he's okay.

Paige, you've moved on to Tim.

Walter is trying to
move on from you,

but his subconscious
is struggling with it.

You digging up these memories

and messing around with
them is going to hurt him

worse than when
he hit that water.

Trust me,
if he has any recollection

of what went on in that capsule
buried away, it will surface.

There will be clues.

And that's mucho bad.

'Cause that means he
can't get over you,

which means a big pile of chaos

for all of us.

Especially the guy that
can't process emotion.

Uh, I need to...
Clean these dishes.

(Grunts)

Okay.

Oh, my god.

My doctors treating you okay?

Uh, too well.

They visit twice a day to
give cognitive evaluations.

Only twice? I told them
morning, noon and evening.

You shouldn't feel guilty.

Lightning strikes
are unpredictable.

I do feel guilty.

I've been reviewing the
footage to try and see

what could've been
done to prevent it.

Hm. You find
anything interesting?

Yes.

But not with respect
to the rocket.

Walter, you had a split second

to decide whether you could

get out of the capsule
before it launched

or if your best
chance of survival

was to shut the hatch
and ride it out.

I calculated the
odds and decided

there wasn't time to escape.

Certainly a tough call.

But in the same situation,
i would have tried to get out.

Almost anyone would have.

Well, you don't have a 197 IQ.

But I'm low 150s.

And I have some life experience.

Point is, Walter...

I know you and Paige had
some kind of a thing once.

And I also couldn't
help but notice

that she's gotten close to
your newest team member.

Timothy, yeah.
What I'm trying to say is

guys who think
like you and me...

We avoid what we can't solve,

do almost anything to avoid
it, no matter how drastic.

I've been there,
during my divorce.

Mm. Walter,
guys like you and me...

We need to find something to
fill our time constructively,

because next time
you try avoidance...

(Sighs)

we might not be able
to bring you home.

Okay? Okay.

All right.

Take care, pal.

Okay. You, too.

(Walter grunts)

Hmm. Everyone gone?

Paige is cleaning up,

sly's at some comic
book nerd fest,

happy's at the junkyard,
and I'm busy...

Hunting happy's husband? Yup.

Still think it's a bad idea.
Still don't care what you think.

Fair enough.

(Grunts) I am feeling better,

so I'm heading to
Emma's for dessert.

Emma's... isn't that place
famous for baked Alaska?

Yeah, ever since i woke
up in the hospital,

I can't stop thinking
about baked Alaska.

It just keeps rattling
around in my head.

Okay, see you later.

(Door opens)

Bullpoop. (Door closes)
