(electricity buzzing)

- Excellent and why does the Van der Graaf Generator

make my hair stand on end?

- Easy, by touching the generator,

your body receives a charge

and your hair follicles also get charged-

- And they repel each other.

It's like a giant hair war.

- Great project, guys.

I give it an A.

(hands slap)

And Vaughn, uh, your project is the invisible?

- It's nothing.

- It is an excellent, nothing.

You knew this assignment was worth 10%

of your final mark, right?

- I know, I didn't do the assignment.

I don't get science.

- Give it a chance, Vaughn.

And this would be the?

Safety goggles, girls, down.

- Well it was gonna be a Jacob's Ladder.

- Was going to be?

- That's where I came in.

Any science geek worth his Bunsen burner

can make one of those.

So instead we made a Jocoberator.

- I never heard of that.

- Of course not, we made it up.

Josie, Corrine, Joco?

- Oh, yeah.

Is it, uh, safe?

- Got me.

It's supposed to calculate the potential energy

stored in your body

or fry you like an onion ring.

I'm joking, it's safe, watch.

(suspenseful music)

(energy sparking)

(energy crackling) - What was that?

- Ta-da! - It exploded.

- I'm okay, that was supposed to happen, kinda.

(suspenseful music)

(rock music) - Okay, so my mom drops me

at this boarding school

and I'm thinking, it's like all the other places I've gone.

Students,

teachers,

principal, you know, like normal schools?

But it's not.

Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

? Oh yeah ?

And what's this guy doing here?

Something's going on and someone's behind it.

And we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

- There is nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(girl screaming)

(rock music)

(cutlery clinking)

- Over here!

- Okay that's not such a good idea.

That's not a good table.

- It's not you, Josie.

It's just, we usually sit over there.

- Let me spell it out for you.

You're disrupting the social order.

We sit over there and the in crowd is over here.

- You mean you're not the in crowd?

What have I been doing with you?

Fine, go, see if I care.

(air whooshing) (mystical music)

- Excuse me.

What are you doing?

- Well, at my last school it was called eating.

- This is our table, science girl.

- Science girl?

Wow, did you look that one up in a book?

Oh, no wait.

That would require you to read.

- Oh, this one has an attitude.

Not smart, getting on our bad side.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm having trouble finding your good side.

- You just committed social suicide.

- (sighs) Whatever.

- Madison, what are you doing?

- Sorry, it was an accident.

My fork just slipped.

(mystical music)

- Ew! (mischievous music)

(whooshing) (food splattering)

(students laughing)

Are you smiling at me?

- No, I'm suppressing a laugh.

(video game sounds)

- Hey Dad, what are you doing here?

- I'll ask you the same thing, Vaughn.

I didn't send you to Blake Holsey to play video games

instead of going to class.

- Okay, I get your point.

I'll study more, I promise.

- It's going to take a little more

than just a promise, Vaughn.

So I've made arrangements with Principal Durst.

You're going to be joining the school science club.

- (scoffs) You're kidding me, right?

- I don't kid, Vaughn.

Hopefully this will kickstart some improvement.

At the very least, it'll look good on your school record.

- Did we just see what we just saw?

- Pretty cool, huh?

- Cool would have been cool, it was downright cold.

Do you realize what you could do with that power?

The possibilities are endless.

Teach me how to do it.

- I can't, I don't even know how to do it.

It just sorta happens.

- Josie, it might be dangerous.

- Better than that, Marshall.

It might be fun.

Watch.

(doorknob creaking) (door clicks)

- Oh, thank you!

(bell rings) Hello?

(children giggling) - See, fun?

(air whooshing)

- Okay, so what Galileo meant to say quite simply was,

can I help you Vaughn?

- Yeah I'm here for the science club.

- Oh, that's right.

Principal Durst spoke to me about that.

Have a seat.

Do you know everyone?

- Yeah I think so.

Miss Goody-goody, half-pint, big brain, and oh yeah.

The girl who electrocuted herself earlier.

- Yeah well, names are irrelevant in science.

I even heard some called Einstein, hair boy.

Have a seat.

- Hey, watch this.

- What the? (mystical music)

(teaching speaking in background)

(chair dragging) Hey, what's going on?

(chair dragging)

- Josie?

- Sorry.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't be sorry.

I mean, be sorry.

But how did you?

(mystical music)

- It just kinda happened.

- Oh, a human magnet doesn't just happen.

(mystical music)

Incredible, incredible!

We have to find out more.

Does anyone have any theories?

- Well electricity can turn metal into a magnet.

- Yeah, so why not a human?

- What are you all talking about?

- It's called science, it's what we do here.

- Wait, the Jocoberator accident.

It must have magnetized me.

- My guess is her own electronic charges were polarized

by her internal magnetic forces.

- I know that there's iron in everyone's system.

I just didn't think there was enough to become magnetized.

- Five words Professor Z.

We are at Black Hole High.

- Actually, that's six words

because we're is a contraction of we and are.

- And since we're on top of a black hole,

all the rules of science go out the window.

- What black hole?

- I thought she said she had a bad cold.

- Yeah, that's what I said.

- We'll talk about it later, Vaughn.

- Excuse me, human fork holder here.

If I'm not important, I can just go.

- No, no, no, wait.

You can't, we don't know what's going to happen.

I mean, hopefully this charge will just drain from you.

But until then, it's a good opportunity to study you.

- Great, just what I always wanted, to be an experiment.

(air whooshing) (dramatic music)

- Uh, Josie. - Yeah?

- Could you not walk so close to me?

My watch is going ballistic.

Well, this has been an unexpected pleasure.

Now, if you'll excuse us.

- I don't know how, but you had something to do

with what happened at lunch today.

- (scoff) Moi?

- You're gonna be very sorry you ever came to the school.

- Oh, too late, already am.

- Consider this a warning, don't mess with us.

- Oh, you mean like this?

(dramatic rock music) (electricity crackling)

(doors banging)

(electricity crackling)

(glass shatters)

- Uh, okay, Josie.

(electricity crackling) (girls gasping)

- What's going on? - Hey!

- [Corrine] Okay.

(loud rock music) (gasping)

Josie! (girls gasping)

Josie, stop it!

(whooshing) (rock music)

- I can't.

(rock music)

(rock music)

(door thuds)

- Please tell me you had nothing to do

with what happened upstairs.

- I had nothing to do with what happened upstairs.

- Don't look at me.

- I wasn't even near the place.

- I was in my room.

- Oh, so it's every man for himself, huh?

No problem, I'm used to that. - Josie.

- Yeah, yeah it was me.

I can't really explain it.

It just kind of happened.

One minute I was angry and the next everything went nuts.

- All right, first things first.

Are you okay?

(electricity crackling)

- I think the real question is, are you okay?

- I didn't mean to do that.

I thought you said my energy would drain?

- Well apparently the polarization

of the magnetic charge inside of you has increased.

And the faster you become polarized

the more electromagnetic you're becoming.

- Too bad she can't be grounded

like the satellite dish at my house.

- He's got a good point, go on.

- Well a dish has to be grounded

so that if something like lightning hits it

it'll stop the dish from frying.

- (whispers) Frying?

- That's a great idea but I mean,

her energy is completely scattered.

To work, the charge needs to be directed.

- Wait, I've got it.

It's our Jocoberator, rewired and re-powered,

we can create the Hall effect.

- Yeah and if we create a magnetic field

around her, then we can channel the energy out of her.

- All right, science in action.

Okay, let's go.

We're gonna help Josie drain her energy.

Vaughn, find me some conduit. - Got it.

- It's insulated wire, Vaughn, about 50 feet.

I need the three of you to go to my office,

get the magnetic panels we were using earlier.

Hurry. (gentle uplifting music)

How are you doing, Josie?

(electricity crackling softly)

- Great, what more could a girl want

than to be able to power an entire city?

You know, having all this power was so much fun.

I could control everything, everyone.

But now that it controls me, it's not fun anymore.

- This is probably none of my business whatsoever.

But you don't seem to be very happy here at Blake Holsey.

And it, and it's like you don't even want to fit in.

- I don't.

My mom's dumped me at lots of schools.

What works best for me is being the outsider.

- Oh, okay, okay.

I get it, why get too close to someone

when you're only gonna have to leave anyway.

- Gotta go with what works.

- And how has that been working for you, Josie?

- Great, I'm totally in control.

- Are you?

- Hey, wait a minute.

This is completely different.

The only thing that's the same is

that people can't get close to me.

- Yeah, not even the people who care about you

- Well, well, well, there you are.

- Principal Durst, I don't think this is the right time to-

- To what?

Work this out with our words?

Oh, yes, it is too late for that.

Did you see what she did to the upstairs hallway?

- It was an accident.

- No, spilling milk on the rug is an accident.

What you do is classified as a tornado.

- I really don't think you should get any closer.

- I don't know what you're up to, Professor Zachary

but we will be speaking about this later.

Come with me, Josie.

- Miss Durst I-

(electricity crackling)

(thuds)

Wouldn't do that.

(fingers snapping) (mystical music)

- What happened?

- You know when you rub your feet along the carpet

and then you touch something, you get a shock.

It was kind of like that, only bigger

- Much bigger.

- Miss Trent, my office now.

- Gotta trust me on this one.

I really can't leave here right now.

- That's ridiculous.

You can't destroy a school hallway

without disciplinary repercussions.

- Miss Durst, there are things going on here

which I will explain to you later.

Right now, it's important that Josie stay right here.

- Professor Zachary, I have been at Blake Holsey

for 25 years, the last 10 as principal.

There is nothing I haven't seen or heard.

- (scoffs) Wanna bet?

- Can I make a suggestion?

- No. - Okay, but I'm gonna have

to report this to my dad, who, if you remember,

is the head of the school board of directors.

Now, this school could be completely destroyed.

All because you didn't listen to Professor Zachary's warning

- Destroyed?

All right, fine.

You've got one hour.

But any more damage?

I'm holding all of you totally responsible.

Especially you, Professor Zachary.

Vaughn, you're getting to be just like your father.

- Thanks. - I didn't do it for you.

- Fine, then I wasn't thanking you.

- Okay, Marshall, you and Lucas start setting

up the electromagnetic panels over there.

Corrine, start wiring the panels together.

Vaughn, I need you to go outside with that wire,

connect it to the metal spigot by the fountain.

This should act as a ground

to disperse Josie's energy into the earth.

- Wait, should?

Got it.

- Professor Z, you know what's doing right?

- Yeah, I've just never done it before.

(dramatic music)

- It won't reach.

It won't reach!

- Hi, Vaughn.

- Later, Madison.

(air whooshing)

Hey Madison, nice purse, metal strap?

- Yeah! - Can I borrow it?

(metal crunching)

(soft rock music)

- Okay, we're set.

Now Josie, once we're out of here

you get between the panels and stay there, okay?

It's gonna be the only safe place in here.

- And just flip the switch, it'll work.

- Yeah, okay.

- Good luck. - Thanks.

Um, Corrine?

About you and me,

I'm sorry about the things that I-

- Yeah, me too.

- Corrine, We have to go.

Come on.

(soft rock music)

- I'd run if I were you.

- What? - Now!

(electricity crackling) (dramatic music)

Clear!

(electricity crackling) (whirring noises increasing)

(electricity crackling)

(door creaks)

- She's gone.

- She can't just be gone.

- Sure she could, she could have disintegrated.

Man, not even an ash.

- Marshall. - Marshall!

- Hey, I attached the cable, did it work?

Where is she?

- Boo!

I'm fine, really.

You can touch me, see?

(laughs softly) (uplifting music)

(pen thuds) - All right.

Glad to have you back, Josie.

Sure you feel okay?

- Absolutely. - No residual effects.

- No, I'm 100% back to normal.

Normal for me anyway.

- Good, then I will expect you to clean up the lab

and the upstairs hallway.

Now?

But I just went through a trauma.

Can I get some help?

We were a club, remember?

We're friends! (door thuds)

Friends help friends clean up!

(soft music)

- This is Principal Durst speaking.

Yesterday's unfortunate events

have been officially attributed to a freak lightning storm.

There is nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(dramatic music)

- That's just another coverup.

Huh, doesn't look like there's a table.

- There would be if Josie still had the gift.

- I think I can find us a seat.

Mind if I sit down?

Well, looks like she still has the gift.

- Hey Dad, wait up.

I saw you from my room.

I didn't know you were at the school.

- I was called here on an emergency meeting of the board.

I was gonna drop in and see you, but I didn't.

Maybe next time.

Vaughn, principal Durst made some reference

to you being involved in the chaos in the school yesterday.

Is there anything you'd like to tell me

about your science club?

- No, I don't think so.

- You realize withholding information

from me would be a mistake?

- Um well, yeah actually Dad

there was one thin.

They mentioned something about a black hole here at school.

- A black hole? - Yeah.

- Excellent, excellent Vaughn.

Keep up the good work.

Maybe this weekend we can have dinner,

it's been a while. (car engine revs)

(dramatic music)

(fireworks whistling)

(upbeat rock music)

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah. ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah. ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh yeah ?

(rock music)
