(snoring)

How long as he been like this?

Found him when we came in.

"How to Get Your Point Across
in 30 Seconds Or Less."

Well, guess he was up all
night prepping for that debate.

He's pushing himself so hard.

I feel like it's my fault.

It is.

Why don't you get Patel
to quit so that Sly

can win alderman by default?

Oh, you don't know my boss.

Patel is as competitive
as they come.

I'll tell Mr. Weiner!

I don't want to know what
he was dreaming about.

Sly, you okay?

Uh, no, I-I was dreaming

that it was the debate,
but jocks from my middle school

were snapping
their towels at me.

I hate to ask, but Mr. Weiner?

My middle school gym teacher.

Thank God.

CABE: Sly,
you got to pull it together there

or this debate

is gonna be a bloodbath.

He's not kidding.

If Patel senses
weakness, he will pounce.

Oh, speaking of which,
if I'm late for work he'll pounce, too.

Thanks for breakfast.

Sylvester, good luck.

(yawns)

TOBY: All right.

Let's wake you up,
get some tea in you.

In my dream,
my boxers were made of pimento loaf.

What does that mean?

That you're messed up.

Pimento loaf.

Morning!

Post-lunch dessert's on us.

Froyo-Ma?
Walt was banned from that place.

Not anymore, thanks to Paige.

She explained to me how
the clerk interpreted

his one loyalty-card
punch per purchase policy,

and despite him being
completely wrong...

Uh-tut-tut...

I-I accepted

that reasonable
people could disagree,

so I apologized to
him for my behavior,

because saying sorry is
not a sign of weakness,

it is a sign of strength.

Walter apologizing is a
sign of the apocalypse.

But i-if it means we
get to eat froyo...

Uh-uh. For after lunch.

I got to stop leaving
him with you people.

I'm helping with his
President's Day assignment.

Getting him ready to cross the
Delaware, so to speak.

And we got to get ready
to cross the Valley.

We got a photo op at
the Encino Petting Zoo.

Petting zoo? Lots of kids.

Kids love comics.

You go in there and
talk about keeping

the Warlock's Chest open,

parents like you,

you get votes.

I'm not going to a petting zoo,

they have chickens.

And...?

And when I was in sixth grade,

we went to a petting zoo,
and the same jocks from my dream

locked me in the chicken pen.

Beaks, talons, they're covered
in their own fecal matter;

it was terrifying.

I can still hear
Bucky Hanson laughing.

"Here is Sylvester,
a chicken afraid of chickens!"

WALTER: Fear is irrational.

You're gonna scare yourself
out of this election.

You're scared of snakes.

I was scared of snakes,
until I reevaluated my position on them,

from a rational point of view,
and now my phobia is no more.

Self-improvement
is my new passion.

Speaking of which, I'm gonna...

I'm gonna call that
waitress up from Kovelsky's

who kept on pronouncing
gyro as "jyro,"

and apologize.

You've created a monster.

I'm gonna reread the
Lincoln/Douglas debates.

We're not done talking
about the petting zoo.

Got you mocha.

Does that work for you?

Oh, I can't even
think about food.

I'm chock full of chia seeds.

I accidentally
ordered a fauxmelet,

a tofu omelet with chia seeds.

It was like somebody hocked
up a loogie on my plate.

How did you accidentally
order an omelet?

I don't want Allie to see me
wearing my reading glasses.

Why not?
You look cute in your glasses.

Grandpas look cute
in their glasses.

I'm a Marine, damn it.
It's just that...

She's 15 years younger than me.

Really?

See? We're like one of
those sitcom couples

where the woman's too
good-looking for the guy.

I don't want to be Ralph
Kramden to her Alice.

I don't get the reference.

God, I'm a dinosaur.

Stop it.

You're a darn good-looking man

with a ton to offer.

Best tires have some wear on
them, right?

No. People prefer new tires.

(phone ringing)

Cabe Gallo.

(whispering): Saved by the bell.

(gasps) Oh, God.

You startled me.

I wanted to thank
you for the yogurt.

Also, I wanted to add...

I know exactly what
you're gonna say:

"You and Walter have been
spending lots of time together

and does that mean you're
more than just friends?"

Answer: We're not.

Actually, I wanted to say

that I think you're
doing a terrific job.

Getting 197 to apologize?

That is amazing work.

Thank you. De nada.

Now if you just hand over
one of those froyos...

Not till after lunch.

CABE: Gather up,
brainiacs, we got a case!

The Granse World Seed
Vault in Greenland,

built after the success of the
Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

It's an international
cooperative

of over thousands of
varieties of every crop

and plant you can imagine
from over a hundred countries.

It protects crop diversity
against catastrophes

like the great famine that
killed over a million Irish.

It ensures the world
has backup seeds

in case disease, parasites

or climate change destroys
agricultural output.

It also safeguards against
warfare-caused starvation.

But cooler than what's in
the vault is the facility.

Unmanned 360 days a year,

it is a doomsday structure
built into a mountainside.

Has its own generators
and computerized sensors

to control motion,
temperature, humidity.

And that's the problem.

The whole system's
malfunctioned.

The vault's heat and
humidity have skyrocketed.

So the world's backup food
supply is in jeopardy.

CABE: Exactly.

The World Seed Trust
that monitors the vault

has been trying to
fix things remotely

from their control
center over in Finland,

but they can't navigate the
multinational sourced code.

So let me guess,
Scorpion does Greenland?

Uncle Sam has a jet on standby.

SYLVESTER: Ha!

It looks like I'll
miss the debate.

No, we'll be back in time.

And get your head on right;

I need you focused on
work, not the debate.

PAIGE: He's just nervous.

I'll keep an eye on him.

TOBY: Well, if this facility

is as autonomous as
Happy says it is,

you, you're not gonna
need a behaviorist.

So how about I man the fort

and I'll help Ralph
finish his project.

PAIGE: Translation:

you stay toasty while
we freeze our tails off.

TOBY: Well,

if the snow-shoe fits...

Don't forget to pack
your long johns.

(wind gusting)

SYLVESTER: Well, now we know
why nobody ever comes out here.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

Oh, guys.

The card the feds
gave us doesn't work.

Lights off, power's out.

When the computer
system went haywire,

it must've drained
the generator.

I can use the battery
from the snowcat

to give the genny a jump,
once we open the doors.

There's a tangle of
jumper cables in the back.

Hey. Listen.

You keep your eyes focused only
on the snowcat, or otherwise...

You don't need to warn me about
getting lost in a blizzard.

Been there, done that.

Okay. So how do we get through
electronic doors without power?

We can brute force our way in.

We just need to use
Happy's pry bar.

(metal clinks)

(creaking)

(grunting)

Open Sesame.

Got the battery,
let's light this fuse.

Well, this isn't spooky at all.

CABE: What's with
all the handcarts?

Inventory management robots.

They move those boxes
of seeds about the vault

even when no one is here.

Even more creepy.

Generator should be
down here somewhere.

WALTER (over radio): We'll
still have a few things

to clean up once you find it.

I've just tapped into
the vault's diagnostics,

and an electrical surge
must've knocked out a fuse

in the east wing breakroom.

We won't be able to get full
power back up until it's fixed.

We found the generator.

You were right about
the power surge.

And the generator's also fried.

I can get minimal
emergency backup power on,

but that's all we'll
have until I repair it.

Might take a bit.
I'll go find the breakroom.

I may not be a genius,

but I can flip a breaker switch.

And I'll find the server
room to see what caused

the surge in the first place.

But since it seems
you're almost done...

You don't want to wander
the dark tunnels alone?

I'd prefer not to.

Well, then...

let there be light.

(clicks, whirring)

(beeping)

Cooling system just kicked in.

Things should cool down now.

(coughing)

So much for this being
an antiseptic facility.

Well, this facility
self-purifies its air,

but the system's been down for
days, so the seeds

have decayed a bit,
the vents are just stirring up seed dust.

Speaking of stirring
up, I can only imagine

what kind of trouble is being
stirred up in the garage.

I worry about his
maturity level.

Don't. Ralph's very responsible.

I was talking about Toby.

Charge!

All right, now,
channel your inner G.W.

and send your troops over.

For one, there were no
pirates on the Delaware.

What Washington
did was illogical.

They were outnumbered,

terrible weather...

That's exactly why he did it.

He needed a bold move
that no one saw coming,

and he faced his fear,
he took action and he was victorious.

Like Walter beat
his fear of snakes?

Maybe, I don't know. What...

Why is that important to you?

I know he likes my mom.

And the logical thing
is to ask her out.

And the most common thing
to beat logic is fear,

so I figured he never asked
her out 'cause he was scared.

And you thought if
he conquered snakes,

he could conquer all fears.

Listen, it's...
it is true that fear can beat logic,

but... logic can also beat fear,

and, uh, I think both your
mom and Walter realized

that the most logical
thing for them

is just to be good friends.

I know. I get it.
You, you want Walter and your mom

to be more than just
friends, but...

Ralph,
I don't think it's gonna happen.

Look, I'm-I'm not trying to
poop on your parade here.

No. I, I get it.

Hey. Let's, um...

let's turn that
frown upside down.

You want to, uh,
eat everyone else's else's froyo?

Yeah.

Walter, I think I know
what started the surge.

Time.

Please clarify.

SYLVESTER: The server's
operating system

is off by 51 seconds.

That's a second a day
since one second was added

to the Atomic world
clock on January 1.

But the programmers forgot to
account for the extra second,

so the vault's operating
system has been trying

to reconcile that with the
control room in Finland,

which has the correct time.

So, the facility's processor
worked faster and faster,

never able to catch up,
creating an electrical surge

that fried the generator
and blew a fuse.

So the whole place went dark

because the programmers forgot
to synchronize their watches?

SYLVESTER: Right!
But if I can get

the operating system's clock
lined up with Finland's,

then I'll have this fixed.

(soft clatter)

Is anyone else
getting a weird vibe?

Like...

like we're not alone?

CABE: You're just
scared of the dark.

Suck it up and get cracking,
'cause I just found the fuse box

and I want us back to L.A.
ASAP so we can do some debate prep.

Okay, it just feels
like there's eyes on me.

PAIGE: Sly,

just know everything's fine.

Listen to my calm voice,
fix the server's clock

and we'll be out of here soon.

You're right.

I'm rebooting the system
now to correct the time.

Should take 40 minutes.

Ah!

HAPPY: Guys?

Did blast doors lock you
in, too?

Yeah, I'm locked in, too.

SYLVESTER: Me, too.

And I'm kind of freaking out!

Relax.

The vault prioritizes
keeping seeds safe

so it must go into lockdown
when it's most vulnerable,

i.e. a reboot.

So the doors will open in 40
minutes when the reboot is done.

Everything is fine.

No.

No, everything is not fine.

(skittering in distance)

Walter!

Help!

They're in here.
They're in here!

(screams)

♪ ♪

(Sylvester screams over radio)
WALTER: Sylvester, do you copy?

What the hell's in there with him?
Get him out of there.

I can't.
With the emergency power back on,

the magnetic field is engaged,
I can't just force my way in.

These doors are sealed tight

until the reboot's
done in 40 minutes.

Listen to him,
he doesn't have 40 minutes!

Then the only way these
doors can go up is if Sly

manually disengages the locks

from the command console and we get full power
up and running. SYLVESTER: Get me out of here!

To do that you need to
repair that generator

and then Cabe needs
to fix the breaker.

Easier said than done.

Damn thing's stuck tight.

I've never heard Sly
like this before.

We have to help him.

Okay, I'm gonna get the
closed circuit TV on now

so we can see him.

Hold on, hold on.

He's quiet now. Sly?

Are you okay? Can you hear me?

I'm here.

I was right, I am not alone.

What's going on?
Who's in there with you?

Not "who"...

but "what."

It's chickens!

H-How did chickens get in?

No, they didn't.

Sylvester, how many chickens?

About 20 or so.

I'm in their coop.

He's cracked.
What's wrong with him?

I have no idea,
but I know who to ask.

Chickens?

Well, to steal Happy's
line, not good.

I am sending you the
security feed now

and linking your
phone to our comms.

Okay, well,
those are bona fide fear responses.

Sly, pal, I'm watching you
on the monitors right now,

and there are no chickens
in there with you.

They are all over!

The cameras must be
broken or something!

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm-I'm-I'm sorry,

I, uh, I see 'em now, Sly.

Hey, um, Paige?

Uh, call me back on
my cell right now

and conference in
Happy and Cabe.

What's wrong with Sylvester?

(phone ringing) I don't know, buddy,
but whatever it is, it's serious.

TOBY: Hey, guys.

I didn't want Sly to hear us.
Why?

What are we hiding from him?

The fact that he's in
the midst of a complete

psychotic break from reality.

Now, telling him he's
imagining those chickens

will just agitate him
and make things worse.

How did that happen?

It could be anything
from bacteria

in something you guys ate on
the flight to a brain tumor.

Now, let's first make
sure you guys are okay.

Do you feel any headaches,

or dizziness, or ocular flashes?

I'm fine. No symptoms.

Nothing, I'm good.

No complaints here,
except my arthritis is acting up.

You don't have arthritis, Cabe.

Tell that to my hand,
I've been trying to flip this breaker

and it won't budge.

Joints are killing me.

Again, they shouldn't be,

because you don't
have arthritis.

Hey, Happy, what is that

yellow powder on your tool bag?

HAPPY: Seed dust.

Okay, now,
this-this could be an issue.

What kind of seeds?

Rye. Why is that important?

Because that is not seed dust,

that's seed fungus!

Claviceps purpurea,

commonly known as ergot.

Now, when the humidity
increased in the vault,

ergot spores were formed.

The vent turning on

spread the fungus.
Who breathed it in?

Walt and I are locked out in the
entrance, no vents here.

So only Sly, Happy and Cabe.

Why?

What does it do to you?

TOBY: Its neurotropic traits

cause hallucinations,
specifically affecting

the fear center in the brain.

In short, Cabe, Sly,
and Happy are going to experience

their deepest fears.

We're gonna do what?

Cabe Gallo does not hallucinate.

Okay,
so they have a living nightmare

and after a while they wake up?

No, no, they are not nightmares,
they are false realities.

And they're so genuine that
people take dangerous actions

to end them.

In doing so,
they could hurt themselves

or others. Hey, Happy?

Listen to me.

Anything you might be
starting to feel is not real.

It's all in your head.

Sorry, I got to go.

The bell just rang.

What-What bell?
No, no, no, there's no bell. Happy?

Happy, there's no bell.
(bell ringing)

(door opens)

Good afternoon, children.

HAPPY AND CHILDREN: Good
afternoon, Ms. Weldy.

So today, we have visitors.

Prospective parents
who are looking for

that very special child to
help them form a family.

So, best behavior.

They will be watching.

And that means

no wrenches, no ratchets.

A proper toy for a proper lady.

I'll be better this time, Ms.
Weldy.

Who the hell's Ms. Weldy?

PAIGE: Why does it matter?

Because if we're gonna
talk these guys down,

I need to know what
psychological baggage

the fungus is unpacking.

I'll hack public databases,
see if I can find a Ms. Weldy

connected to Happy in some way.

No, no, no, no.

She's my fiancée. I'll do it.

You can't,
your hands are too full.

Look at Cabe.

TOBY: No, Cabe!

Don't go full zombie on me, man!

Cabe, can you hear me?

ALLIE: Arthritis acting up
again, honey?

Huh?

Yeah.

It's killing me.

Still working the fuse box?

Yeah,
I'm having trouble with it.

That's 'cause you
were alive for so long

before electricity was invented.

It's still new to you.

(canned laughter)

What kind of casserole is that?

Kale, flaxseed,
macrobiotic grains.

(canned laughter)

What should I expect
from a man whose

social security number is one?

(canned laughter)

I'm not hungry.

Let's curl up on the
couch and watch a movie.

We could watch Jurassic Park.

Might bring back some
memories for you.

(canned laughter)

But no movie for me.

A new club opened up
and I'm going dancing.

(canned laughter)

You wouldn't want to
come, would you?

Me, dancing?

No.

I-I-I can't...

I can't go dancing.

On account of my arthritis.

(canned "Aw!")

WALTER: Cabe's brain's gone.

He's talking about
dancing and arthritis.

He's gonna wish the only thing

he has to worry
about is arthritis.

Sly's symptoms started first,
so I'm keeping an eye on him

and he's getting a
little unsure of foot.

What does that mean?

TOBY: It means they're in
trouble and we're on the clock.

Look, if ergot exposure
was extensive...

And now it appears it was...

It constricts blood vessels,
especially in the brain.

If vessels are constricted,
it means less blood flow;

less blood flow means less
oxygen; less oxygen means...

WALTER: Coma.

You think they could all
fall into a coma and die?

No, I am saying they will
fall into a coma and die

in the next 30 minutes if we
don't get them out of there.

TOBY: As we speak,
they are all still inhaling fungus

because I am sure that vent
sent out microscopic molecules

all over the place.

So we have to move fast

before exposure
reaches critical mass.

The only way to open
the doors is if Sly uses

the manual override from
the command console,

Happy fixes the generator
and Cabe repairs the fuse.

And none of them can do that

when they're out of their minds.

So we put them into their minds.

We talk 'em lucid so they
can finish their tasks.

Okay, um, I'll take Happy
'cause I know her best.

Cabe trusts Walter.

And Paige is left with Sly.

From what I can see,
you got your work cut out for you.

(groans) Hey, hey, hey.

Get away from me, you foul fowl.

PAIGE: Oh, boy.

Sly, you need to move across
the room to the command console.

You need to pull
the door release.

Back away, hens.

I will deep-fry the lot of you.

PAIGE: Sly, if you don't
listen to my instructions

you are going to die.

Avian flu.

Encephalitis virus.

(groans) Salmonella.

Poop.

Poop everywhere.

PAIGE: Sly,
don't go under that desk.

I will be safe under here.
Sly, I said

don't go under that desk!
(Sly laughs)

Now I am protected.

PAIGE: Sly, just pull the lever!

SYLVESTER: They can't
to get me in here.

I am never leaving this spot.

PAIGE: How do I get Sly

to pull a lever if he
can't even hear me?

I'm having the same
problem with Cabe.

He's in a complete other world.

Cabe? Respond to your name.

(echoing): Cabe Gallo?

Cabe Gallo.

ANNOUNCER: Cabe Gallo!

Welcome to the show.

It is time to play...

RAY AND AUDIENCE:
Older than dirt!

(applause) Whoo!

(Ray laughs)

Today's contestant is so old,

he got a special thanks in the Bible.
(audience laughing)

His birthday candles
caused global warming.

And if he were to act his age,
well, he'd drop dead right here.

Say hello to Cabe Gallo!

Don't I know you?

I don't know. Do you?

It's your hallucination,
brother.

Let's play, shall we?
First question:

which of the following things
would Allie be shocked to learn

didn't exist when Cabe was born?

(countdown music playing)
Was it manned spaced travel,

portable calculators,

or tape cassettes?

(grandfather clock chimes)

I don't want to play this game.

(buzzer sounds) Oh, so close.

The answer is all of these.

All of these things didn't exist

when Cabe was born a
full decade and a half

before his current girlfriend.

(bell chimes) Allie likes
me just the way I am.

All shriveled? Don't think so.

(studio audience
laughter) (Ray laughs)

RAY: Next question.

What grade was Allie in when
you married your first wife?

I don't want to play this game.

Well, nobody does,

but we all have to
play it eventually,

even badass,
ex-football-playing Marines.

WALTER: Cabe.
Cabe, what are you doing?

Toby, he's-he's hunched over.

I think he has an invisible
cane or a walking stick.

He's moving like he's a hundred.

All right, can't help right now.

I'm trying to figure out who Ms.
Weldy is

because Happy's talking to her

and I have no idea
what this all means.

Wonderful news, children.

So many of you

have found your forever homes.

When I read out your names,

you can go and meet your
new mothers and fathers.

Michael.

Sean,

Jamal,

Theo, Antoine,

Isabelle,

Roseanne,

Ronin,

Janine,

Abigail, Owen,

Kanti,

and Steven.

Could you check your list again?

I'm so sorry, darling.

Maybe next time.

I can be normal. I promise.

Well, there is one last shot,

but I'm not sure it'll work.

Could we try, please?

Maybe the next one will like me.

Okay. I'll return in a moment.

RALPH: I found her.

Mavis Weldy ran the Canoga Park
Home for Children 20 years ago.

Oh, my God.
She's reliving every time

she was rejected for adoption.

That is Happy's darkest fear:
being rejected, being alone.

(door opens)

Happy Quinn, this is Dr. Curtis.

Hello.

I'm Happy.

Are you?

I'm a doctor of
psychiatric medicine.

I can tell right away
you're not happy.

I'm just nervous, Doc.

Doc?!
Oh, crap, she's talking to me.

Her biggest fear
isn't being rejected;

it's that I'll reject her, too.

Happy, Happy, hey, listen to
me, I would never do that.

I love you.

I'm not sure about this.

You know, if I commit to her,

I'm stuck with her for
the rest of my life?

There's got to be
something wrong with her

if she's here, right?

HAPPY: I try hard.

I'm just a little bit different

from the other kids.

Well, I'm not so sure this
will be the right fit.

No, you promised to
be with me for life.

You proposed to me.

Quick to anger.

Volatile.

I think I'd regret
this decision.

Sorry, I...

I don't want her.

Not for me.

MS. WELDY: I understand.

I'm so sorry, Happy.

Maybe next time.

But I'm perfect for you.

TOBY: Oh, no,
she's looking tired.

Happy,
please do not close your eyes.

Ralph, if Happy falls
asleep she's history,

and we can't undo it.

But what if we could?

Like you told me earlier.
Logic can beat fear.

So let's be logical.

All fear has a
genesis in history.

If we go back and
undo that moment...

Then their darkest fears
will cease to exist.

They'll be lucid enough
to take the steps needed

to get through
those blast doors.

Um, Walter, Paige.

We have an idea.

I'm all ears 'cause right now

I can't coax Sly out
from under the desk.

You need to go back to the
point when these fears started

and attack that seminal moment.

If a match is never struck,
a fire can never burn.

Sly said that his fear started

with Bucky Hanson
at the petting zoo.

And Cabe started feeling weird

when he wouldn't wear reading
glasses in front of Allie.

You guys go after those two
moments, rewrite history.

Got it, but what about Happy?

She's been alone
since she was a child,

and I'm gonna put
an end to that.

Hi.

TOBY/YOUNG TOBY: I'm Tobias.

YOUNG TOBY: I'm new here.

Got anything to eat?

Here.

What's left of my lunch.

I like Evel Knievel.

I want a motorcycle one day.

I thought all the
kids were adopted.

Not me.

Is that why you're sad?

No. I don't care.

Besides,
I knew that nobody would want me

'cause I'm defective.

That's not why
you're still here.

We just exited the '90s.

The Spice Girls had
number one hits.

Half the women in America
are wearing a haircut

called "The Rachel,"
and everyone's investing

in a Web site
called, "Ask Jeeves."

This is a decade where
everyone's making bad decisions,

so anyone who doesn't
want you in their life?

That's just another
bad decision.

Mmm, nice. Tuna fish.

I like your hat.

I like you.

I like you, too.

Will you marry me?

Uh, we just met,
and we're eight.

You know who I am,
and my biggest regret in life

is that we really didn't meet
when we were eight because

I would've fallen in love
with you from that moment.

The truth is you've
never been alone.

My love for you

has always been there.
It just took a while

for our paths to cross so
I could share it with you.

And under all those
neurotoxins in your head,

you know I'm right.

You have nothing to be scared
of, ever.

Doc...

what's going on?

That generator over there?

To save yourself

and your friends,

you have to fix it, fast.

Easy.

Guys, I got through to Happy.

Now you have to take care
of business on your end.

Trying,
but Sly isn't cooperating.

Well, then get tough with him.

Okay, here it goes.

PAIGE: Look at Sylvester,
hiding in a coop...

BUCKY: just where a
chicken should be.

Stop teasing me, Bucky.

Come out so I can
pluck your feathers.

Leave me alone.

You should've never locked me
in here with these creatures.

Aw, you want to go
tell the teacher?

Come pull this lever
and go tell them.

PAIGE: I don't get it.

He's faced a lot worse
than an 11-year-old brat.

Mom, in Sly's mind, he's my age.

He doesn't know all the
brave things he's done.

You have to tell him.

Good point, honey.

Coward. Knew those stories

about you weren't true.

What stories?

That you jumped out of a plane,

captured a poisonous snake,

helped save a boy
from a sinkhole.

Wait,
I think I did do those things.

No, you didn't, you weenie.
Don't dispute the facts.

Facts are my forte; I
never get them wrong.

Really?

Then why is a hero
hiding from chickens?

I think it's time you
reconsider your facts, bucko.

Fact: I leapt off
of a cruise ship.

Fact: I went into a
cave full of bats.

Fact: I punched a man
in the face in prison.

Fact: what you did to me in
sixth grade was mean, but...

I'm not scared of you anymore

because I'm a man,

and I can be brave sometimes,

you little turd.

And I'm still telling on you.

Come on, Sly, you can do it.

Okay.

(screaming)

Okay.

Great job, Sly.

Time to take a load off.

Toby, Sly pulled the
lever, but he's sleepy.

You said sleepy was bad.

Sleepy is the
first step to coma,

and Happy is starting to
slip, too.

Fighting that fungus
wiped them out.

Walt, all we need now is for
Cabe to fix that breaker,

and we can open the
doors and get them out.

I can't get him to move.
He's just sitting like a statue.

Well, Paige and I have to try
to keep Sly and Happy awake.

Just get him to flip
that damn switch! Do it!

I don't know how to talk
someone out of being scared.

I can't relate to
that kind of emotion.

PAIGE: Really?

'Cause you seem
pretty scared now.

Your biggest fear isn't
snakes, was it?

It's problems you can't solve.

Now do what you did
with the yogurt guy,

and put yourself
in Cabe's shoes.

Okay.

Okay, uh, I'm Cabe.

I like steak and Conway Twitty.
I'm scared of getting old. Why?

Because of death?

No, Cabe faces death all the
time, so then why?

Because...

I got it. I got it.

Cabe, listen closely.

You don't fear getting old;

you fear weakness.

I can understand that.

When I can't solve a
problem, I-I feel weak.

I feel powerless. I feel useless

because my identity
is intellect,

and yours is strength.

You are a military man,
a government agent,

someone who is strong for their
friends, but when you fear

weakness, you feel that
you'll lose your identity

because of it, and the people
that you care about, like Allie.

Is that right?

Cabe?

God? Is that you?

You sound a lot less confident
than I thought you'd be.

That's because I'm
worried about you,

but I shouldn't be because
getting old is not a detriment.

It is a strength.

With age comes
experience, knowledge

and wisdom.

What you've forgotten,

others will never know.

And what you've lived,

others only read about.

What you can do,

others can only dream about.

Cabe Gallo is
stopped by nothing.

Certainly not by
fungus and fear and...

Wait, what are you doing?

I'm gonna flip that
damn breaker switch.

Okay.

I did it, son, but...

WALTER: Cabe? Cabe!

Guys, he's unconscious.

So are Sly and Happy.

They got it done,
but it's too late.

They're all in comas.

Okay, they're unconscious; let's
just load them onto the snowcat

and take them to the
closest hospital.

TOBY: I already looked it up,

it's two hours hours away!

They need immediate medical care
or they're never gonna wake up.

You're the doctor and
on another continent.

I-I really don't think
there's a nearby pharmacy

out here in the tundra.

This whole building
is a pharmacy.

It houses the greatest seed
collection in the world.

We can synthesize a treatment.

I'll hack the vault's database,

find the location of
whatever you need.

Okay, okay. Uh, let me think.

First,
we're gonna need plant seeds

with an antifungal polyenes
to attack the ergot.

Ralph,
look for bachelor's button,

also known as basket flower.

And then,
we're gonna need to mix it

with a highly concentrated
anti-inflammatory

to bust open the
circulatory system

and allow blood to
get back to the brain.

Oh, um, alpha-Linolenic
acid is found in chia seeds.

Tracking it all down now.

Guys, this treatment
needs to be given to them

in the next few minutes

or they're gonna suffer
permanent neurological damage!

Still one problem,
we never planned on going inside.

To get the seeds
and our friends,

we have to go through
ergot-saturated pathways.

We'll wind up whacked-out
like how they were.

Not if we don't breathe in
heavily contaminated air.

The oxygen pipes run

through this facility as part
of its preservation system.

Now, if we tap into this,

then we can inhale fresh
air the whole trip.

Tap into it how?
It's ten feet high.

PVC pipes bracketed to the wall!
Tear it off

while I hack into
the main server

and increase the pressure
in the oxygen pipes.

You mind telling me

why I'm vandalizing
a seed vault?

I'm building up
pressure in the O2 pipes

so small that
fissures crack open.

Pure oxygen will pour out.

And we'll use the PVC

to breathe in untainted
oxygen along our route inside.

TOBY: That should work,

but you guys will still get
some ergot into your system.

Not enough to go full nutbar,

but if you start
seeing pink elephants,

know that they are not real.

(beeping) WALTER: Got
the PSI to the tilt.

Oxygen conduits should
start cracking... now.

(cracking)

(oxygen hissing)

Great.

All right,
we're going to take a big breath

before we go through this door.

(panel beeps)

(panel beeps)

(panel beeps)

Oh, my God,
it's freezing in here!

It's the refrigerant
system to store the seeds.

But it should have just
low levels of ergot,

like Toby said,
not like the tunnels.

So if we're in and out
quickly, we should be okay.

Ralph, find us our seeds.

Aisle A, box 1032.

Bachelor's button
flower from Austria.

We got it.

From Guatemala,
aisle C, box 5306.

WALTER: Yep.

PAIGE: Found it.
Nice work, honey.

TOBY: Now, you'll need to make

a high oil extraction
from the seeds.

Start by grinding
them into a powder.

Walter,

you'll need alcohol.

Got it.

Now, pour a few ounces over the
powder, burn it off

and you'll get an oil.

Okay, I don't have
matches or a lighter.

So, I'll have to improvise.

Okay. Watch out.

(exhales sharply)

We did it, we got the oil!

Great, now you just got to
put it under their tongues

to get it right into
their bloodstreams.

It's potent. If it'll work,
it'll work instantaneously.

(flame surges)

Oh, no.
I think I inhaled too much ergot.

I'm-I'm seeing a purple flame.

You're not hallucinating.

Potassium chloride,
a component in deicer,

burns purple.
So, when I lit the alcohol,

a spark must have caught
the sacks on fire.

Need I remind you that
right behind that door

is a tunnel filled with
very flammable oxygen?

If those any of those flames
reach that door, kaboom!

That whole place will
be blown to pieces!

Toby, the flames are
spreading and I have no way

of putting out a chemical fire!
Why the hell is there even deicer in here?

It snows outside, not inside.
It's to prevent the ice buildup

in the refrigerant tanks.
Wait a minute.

We can use the carbon dioxide
in the refrigerant tanks

to build a fire extinguisher.

Now, Paige,
the others don't have long,

so go give them the oil.

And I will put out this fire.

You're okay.

You're okay, come on.

Oh, I had a messed up dream.

Tell me about it later.

Right now,
you need a bit of fresh oxygen

and then we got to
save the others.

Okay? All right.

(Cabe grunts)

Chickens!

I made it through
the '60s clean,

just to trip out in 2017.

We all did.

Dirty hippies, gross.

Every breath increases
a chance of relapse

so hurry up outside.

Toby,
how's Walt doing with the fire?

TOBY: Flames burned
out the vault's

closed circuit TV.
I lost contact with him

while he was building
the fire extinguisher.

I have no idea if
he's okay or not.

Oh, wait, I see him.

What the hell?

You ready to get out of here?

(gasps) You okay?

Yeah, I think I got a
little ergot on the brain.

Let's go home.

Guess I scared Mr. Dodd off.

I don't scare that easy!

Mr. Dodd.
Better late than never.

Please take your position at
the lectern and we can begin.

You got this, kid.

Go on, Sly. Come on.

Are we ready to begin?

Yes, and I would like to
apologize for my lateness.

I was out of the country

working for Homeland.

PATEL: For the record,

Mr. Dodd is not
employed by Homeland.

He's only an
independent contractor.

Uh, may we let the moderator
begin, please?

MODERATOR: The comic
book store seems to be

the basis of your platform,
so please address it.

Uh, I believe that
eminent domain is abuse

of government power.

Really? Was it an abuse when
the Erie Canal was built?

No, but it's not 1825 and
the stakes are a lot smaller

than enabling the
American shipping industry

to get from the
Atlantic to the Midwest.

The matter at hand

is taking private property

to help, not the populace,
but a big box store.

The kind of store
grown-ups go to.

Yes.

I patronize the Warlock's Chest.

I had a tough childhood,
I was picked on.

Make-believe was my refuge.

I found solace
amongst the fantasy

and I would gather up my
courage to face another day.

And trust me, when I was a kid,

I needed courage just
to show up at school.

And I need it now for my job.

But the difference
is, with Scorpion,

I have a team to help me
remember that I can be brave.

And if the Warlock's
Chest will provide refuge

for more kids who don't know
they're brave yet, well...

I want it to stick around.

(quiet murmurs)

Wow, he's doing great. Yeah.

PATEL: Brave?

You ran away from your problems
by hiding in a comic store.

Sounds chicken to me.

Chicken?

Sir, I know chickens.

I have been around chickens

and I, sir,

am no chicken.

For example,

I fear public speaking,

and yet, here I
am, facing my fear,

kicking your ass in a debate.

MODERATOR: Moving on...

Sly's on fire. Great work.

It's all him.

You want to get a
bite after this?

MODERATOR: What would you say
to voters who may be looking...

Okay.

But no Vegan Thrill, okay?
I hate that place.

Been there a dozen times.

Hated it every time.

Look, I've been terrified
about our age difference.

I hate kale,
I need reading glasses

and I enjoy getting
senior discounts.

But the thing I'm really
crazy about is you.

You're the first woman I've
really enjoyed being with

in a long time.

But I got to know that
you're comfortable with me

the way I am: a little
weathered and stronger for it.

'Cause I can't change who I
am and I wouldn't want to.

Those years make me who I am.

SYLVESTER: out of town to
replace with a behemoth.

I like classic cars,
vintage clothes, Sinatra.

You fit right in my
wheelhouse, Mr. Gallo.

SYLVESTER: which I have,
you'll see that those jobs

you're mentioning
are all part-time.

Looks like you did a good job
knocking that fear out of Cabe.

WALTER: I guess I did.

So, that fungus

really makes you see
your darkest fears, huh?

Yes, in most basic terms,
the amygdala and the cortex

that contribute
to the fear output

are affected.

Oh, it's all very interesting.

Did you see something?
A fear of yours?

No.

Maybe. No. It was nothing.

I got to get some air.

Okay.

SYLVESTER: Any
problem can be solved.

Did you notice anything
weird about Paige?

Yeah, ergot can mess with you
for a few days, she'll be fine.

She just needs to sleep it off

like my little princess here.

SYLVESTER all politicians die...

Man, she had a rough one.

I hope she's having
sweet dreams.

She deserves it.

MS. WELDY: Good
afternoon, children.

CHILDREN: Good afternoon, Ms.
Weldy.

YOUNG TOBY: Hi, I'm Tobias.
I'm new here.

Nice. Tuna fish.

I like your pigtails.

Did you know the term "pigtail"

comes from a twist
of chewing tobacco?

Just shut up and you
can hold my hand.

Offer accepted.
