That's... This is a bad idea. 254 00:14:05,187 --> 00:14:06,689 - Rodney, please. - And to prove the effectiveness 255 00:14:06,772 --> 00:14:08,273 of this system, 256 00:14:08,357 --> 00:14:12,319 I will lower the temperature within this facility by 10 degrees. 257 00:14:12,653 --> 00:14:14,446 And don't worry, I've turned off the air conditioning, 258 00:14:14,530 --> 00:14:16,323 so there'll be no cheating, I promise. 259 00:14:16,407 --> 00:14:17,616 I'm sorry, I can't let him do this. 260 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:20,119 - No, Rodney... - Excuse me!

Who knows? 391 00:20:50,926 --> 00:20:52,928 You saw a paper about a matter bridge, 392 00:20:53,012 --> 00:20:57,683 a project that was shut down due to the adverse effects of exotic particles. 393 00:20:57,766 --> 00:21:00,060 You read it, you realized that if the bridge was used 394 00:21:00,144 --> 00:21:02,771 merely as a transfer of energy, say heat, 395 00:21:02,855 --> 00:21:06,358 there would be no exotic particle creation and thus no adverse effects. 396 00:21:06,442 --> 00:21:09,028 So, you co-opted the science as your own, 397 00:21:09,111 --> 00:21:11,030 made a few changes to make yourself feel better, 398 00:21:11,113 --> 00:21:14,158 and got to work, dismissing the original author's warnings 399 00:21:14,241 --> 00:21:17,786 about the inherent instability of time-space bridges. 400 00:21:17,870 --> 00:21:18,912 How am I doing so far? 401 00:21:18,996 --> 00:21:22,791 That's preposterous. Dr. Tunney's been working on this for years. 402 00:21:22,875 --> 00:21:24,877 That was my work, Malcolm. 403 00:21:25,544 --> 00:21:27,296 I wrote that paper. 404 00:21:31,592 --> 00:21:34,553 Terrence, these people may be able to help us. 405 00:21:39,933 --> 00:21:42,436 - This is bad. - The sabotage? 406 00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:45,189 - Sabotage? Please. - But you said there was... 407 00:21:45,272 --> 00:21:48,442 - I may have rushed to judgment. - Can you shut it down? 408 00:21:48,525 --> 00:21:51,945 Look, these matter bridges are the very definition of unpredictable. 409 00:21:52,029 --> 00:21:55,157 You know, I think I remember you saying something about that before. 410 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,868 - Yes or no, Doctor? - Look, I don't know yet. 411 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,828 - Have you turned up the heat? - Yes. 412 00:21:59,912 --> 00:22:02,081 - Have you noticed this? - Yes. 413 00:22:03,248 --> 00:22:05,376 - What is it? - The bridge isn't drawing a consistent load 414 00:22:05,459 --> 00:22:08,420 from the heat sink. Instead, it's wavering. 415 00:22:08,504 --> 00:22:09,838 Why is that bad? 416 00:22:09,922 --> 00:22:12,633 I wouldn't necessarily call it bad. It's definitely not good, 417 00:22:12,716 --> 00:22:14,176 but I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it bad. 418 00:22:14,259 --> 00:22:15,594 You're kidding me, right? 419 00:22:15,678 --> 00:22:16,762 A regular bridge should draw 420 00:22:16,845 --> 00:22:18,931 the same amount of energy from the heat sink at all times. 421 00:22:19,014 --> 00:22:21,350 This one is fluctuating greatly. 422 00:22:21,642 --> 00:22:23,435 Maybe we can use that. 423 00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:26,522 Wait for it to peak, then overload it and crash. 424 00:22:26,605 --> 00:22:28,691 - That's a good idea. - Yeah, I thought you'd like it, 425 00:22:28,816 --> 00:22:31,318 what with it being my idea and all. 426 00:22:34,863 --> 00:22:37,825 - It's freezing in here. - We get it.

I'm starting to freeze to my chair. 428 00:22:47,167 --> 00:22:49,003 What the hell was that? 429 00:22:54,717 --> 00:22:58,595 A sudden and dramatic cooling beam. The irregular power pull from the bridge... 430 00:22:58,721 --> 00:23:00,514 So when the bridge makes a sudden demand on the heat sink... 431 00:23:00,597 --> 00:23:01,849 The heat sink reacts by drawing power 432 00:23:01,974 --> 00:23:03,767 from a single, localized place inside the containment field. 433 00:23:03,892 --> 00:23:06,395 And that beam would freeze anything in its path. 434 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,523 - I did not see this coming. - It's freeze lightning. 435 00:23:09,606 --> 00:23:10,899 Freeze lightning, I like that. 436 00:23:11,025 --> 00:23:14,111 You can't have it.
