(gentle piano music)

- There's no gravity in space pressing things together,

and friction is almost non-existent.

Josie, what are you doing?

- Oh, sorry.

I've been using these Qi Gong to help me relax,

and now I can't stop.

- Ha, but you can.

The reason?

Friction, the force that opposes motion,

Newton's first law, an object at rest stays at rest.

An object in motion stays in motion

unless an external force comes into play,

in this case, gravity.

You can pick this up later.

Where's Vaughn?

- Well, the last time I saw him,

he was hanging outside your office.

- Professor Z's office?

(upbeat music) (footsteps pattering)

- Vaughn, don't!

- Vaughn!

(static crackling)

- We didn't go anywhere. This stinks.

Where'd everyone go?

(phone ringing)

- Do you know how dangerous that was?

We're lucky we didn't go any...

- Check out the way that guy's dressed.

- Uh, excuse me. What school is this?

- Blake Holsey High.

- What year? - 1977.

(dramatic 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 going to get to the bottom of it.

- There is nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(lady screaming)

(upbeat music)

Disco? - Disco?

- Hey, where are you going?

- I'm not sure,

guess I was just hoping to end up somewhere else.

- What d'you mean hoping to end up somewhere else?

Where exactly were you hoping to go?

- Nowhere, I guess I was just curious.

- I'm in 1977 because you're curious?

Look, we could have been sent anywhere.

You're lucky we ended up where we did.

Now, I hope your curiosity's satisfied

because we have to go back, like, right now.

- Oh, wait a second, nobody dragged you here.

Okay, technically, I did,

but you're the one who grabbed onto my arm,

and, hey, if you wanna go back then be my guest,

but I wanna see who's here, maybe run into someone I know.

- What do you mean, run into?

- Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt.

But could you direct me to the teachers' lounge?

It's my first week here and I keep getting lost.

- Uh, yeah, it's down there, at least, it will be.

- Thank you. That's very kind of you.

Maybe I'll be lucky enough to have you in one of my classes.

May name is Miss Durst.

- No way. - Wow!

- Well, it was very nice speaking with you.

- Oh, wait, uh, Miss Durst, do you know a Sarah Lynch?

- Sorry, like I said, I'm new here.

- Just curious, huh?

Okay, spill it, Vaughn, who's Sarah Lynch?

- Just someone I was hoping to meet.

- You know what? I don't even care.

But if you do anything to interfere

with anything that goes on here or anyone,

you can mess up the future, got it?

Okay, what are you looking at?

- Your backpack, it's moving.

Whoa, nice grab! What was that?

- My qi-gongball, but it's never done that before.

- It was floating, Josie.

- Well, maybe the gravitational field around the ball

was affected when we went through the hole.

If there's no gravity around the ball,

that would explain why it floats,

and when I touch it, it just has to keep moving.

Perpetual motion, basic Newton stuff.

It's what Z explained in Science Club.

That's right, you weren't there.

If someone sees this, it'll be really hard to explain.

I'd better stash it until we leave,

which better be soon.

(bell ringing)

Vaughn?

- Are you here to join the new science club?

- Uh, no, I'm, I'm just looking around (chuckles).

- Oh.

- [Josie] There you are.

- Are you here for the new Science Club? It starts today.

- Uh, no. - Oh, I should have known.

Being in a science club is not cool.

- Don't worry, it won't always be like that.

Uh, Vaughn, tour is over. We're going home now.

- Wait, uh, d'you know Sarah Lynch?

- Yeah, but, uh, she doesn't know me.

- So, what are you working on?

- I don't believe this.

- Well, it's a personal computer

that people can rest on their laps.

It only weighs about 50 pounds,

and I'm gonna call it a top-lap.

- Vaughn, it's 1977, (chuckles) remember?

Real forward thinking.

- Thanks! I'm Vic, Vic Pearson.

(gentle music)

Well, I've been interested in science

since my parents bought me an electric train.

Stop me if I'm boring you.

- Well, actually- - Are you kidding?

This is cool!

I know those trains. My dad gave me the same ones.

- How come I've never seen you around school before?

- We keep a low profile.

Vaughn, could I talk with you for a minute, alone?

- This is so cool, I'm actually talking to my dad

and we're like friends.

And he's a nice guy.

You know, I always wondered what he'd be like as a kid.

- So that's why you came back here?

To see your dad, to see what he was like?

Well, mission accomplished but we gotta go.

- Vic, what are you doing?

- That's Sarah.

(upbeat music)

- Vaughn, hello? Earth to Vaughn.

Okay, what are you staring at?

- It's Sarah Lynch.

She's my mom.

- What? What do you mean she's your mom?

- Sarah Lynch is my mom.

- Your mom and dad went to school together?

- Yeah, and this is where they met.

- This all makes sense now.

- She, she died in that explosion at my dad's lab.

I, I never really knew her.

- Vaughn, you're not thinking of tryna save her?

- Can I do that?

- Me and my big mouth.

No, Vaughn,

not without mangling with the future that we live in.

- Okay, but I at least wanna talk to her.

- All right, but make it quick. I'll wait for you inside.

(students speaking faintly) (gentle music)

(gentle somber music)

- Uh!

- Wait, my backpack.

- Oh, don't worry, I got it (chuckles).

(gentle music)

(zip purrs)

Hey, Josie, thanks.

- For what?

- Well, for, for not dragging me away

before I saw my mom and dad.

My dad was so nice.

I wonder what happened to him?

Seeing my mom, well, it sort of connected me to who I am.

Truth is, I've always felt kinda lost.

- I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel kinda lost too.

Let's go.

(static crackling)

Vaughn! (door slams)

(students laughing) Vaughn!

Hey, guys. Corrine, Lucas, Marshall, I'm back.

Have you seen Vaughn? He didn't make it through with me.

We'd better get Z.

- Yeah, yeah, we'll be sure to do that.

Just one question.

Who are you?

- You know who could clear this up?

- Right, Professor Z.

- Erm, I've never heard of him

but I was talking about Professor Pearson.

- Professor..

Mr. Pearson, I, I...

When did you get hair?

- When I was a child. Do, do I know you?

- Yes, you know me. Well, you know of me.

I go to school with your son, Vaughn.

About Vaughn, your son, he's missing.

- Is he? Interesting.

I don't have a son or a wife, but thank you for reminding me

of the painful reality of my solitary existence.

- I'll bring up the Blake Holsey web page

and check the records.

It'll prove I'm telling the truth.

Jeremy parks, Hilary Patterson, Liz Pride.

There's no Vaughn Pearson?

- Told you, he doesn't go here.

- Well, I do, I'm here, right?

Search for Josie P. Trent.

Good news, I exist, I just don't go to this school.

Wait, it's loading. See, there's a picture of me.

Josie P. Trent, New York Music Academy.

I go to music school in New York? Cool.

- You play the tuba? - [Josie] O-okay, not cool.

- I can't believe I'm even saying this,

but if you're not totally Insane and we aren't crazy,

how can we both be telling the truth?

- I don't know but I know someone who might.

I need a cellphone.

- Ah! (girls laughing)

So, normally the neutron pressure stops the star's collapse.

Of course, of course.

(phone ringing)

Quark burger!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.

You're who? My mom gave you this number, didn't she?

You're what? I'm who?

Sure, why not?

Marnie! - [Marnie] Yeah?

- Hold down the floor, I gotta help some kid

who came through a worm hole.

- [Marnie] What?

(phone beeps) (dramatic music)

- Put it back, Josie.

- What are you talking about?

- Put it back where you found it.

- So, let me get this straight.

You say I know you, guys?

- No, no, no. She says that.

We're in the same yeah, right department as you are.

- And that I'm, what,

some kind of science professor at this school

with a real worm hole/black hole thing inside?

- Look, I know it's hard for you to believe,

but I really need your help.

Look, I'll prove it.

When I went through the hole,

the space around the ball lost its gravity.

There's no friction.

- Impossible. - Oh, yeah?

Newton's first law, an object in motion stays in motion,

and it keeps accelerating.

- Okay, maybe what you're saying has some truth in it.

- Some?

Dude, she just demolished

all the laws of earthbound physics.

- Uh-oh!

- That didn't sound like a good uh-oh.

- There are no good uh-ohs.

- This isn't my hair clip.

It belongs to Sarah Lynch in 1977.

Vaughn must have stashed it in here.

- Ah, Josie you have to put that back.

Even the smallest item can have Global implications in time.

- Incredible.

- Unbelievable.

- Sweet.

- Anyone wanna go with me?

- No one ever does.

- Thanks, guys.

Hopefully the next time you see me,

you'll know who I am (sighs).

(lightning blasting)

- Vic Pearson, I've been Waiting for you.

We have to talk.

- I'm not doing anything until you tell me

what's up with your backpack.

- Okay, fine.

It's nothing out of the ordinary.

It's just a gravity-less ball

that I picked up on my travels.

(ball whooshes)

(ball clinks)

- That ball defied gravity,

and it sped up each time it hit the wall.

It's Newton's Second Law in action,

acceleration equals force divided by mass, unlimited energy.

Imagine what you could do with it.

Can I have it?

- Not a chance, you asked to see it, you saw it

and now you're coming with me.

- But, I-

(gentle music)

- Okay, wait here.

Watch my bag, I'll be right back.

And don't go anywhere. - Got it.

(gentle music)

- Okay, Vic, pay close attention to me.

You see that girl over there?

- Sarah Lynch.

- Oh, look, I think that's her hair clip on the ground.

Give her the hair clip, it'll change your life forever

and mine.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- Uh, I, uh, I think this is yours.

- Thanks.

It belonged to my grandmother.

(door closes) - [Man] Josie.

(bell rings)

(dramatic music)

(door closes)

(lightning blasts)

- Excuse me, Miss Durst,

I have a...

What the...

What are you doing here?

What happened?

Uh, f-floor opened, uh, flash...

You did this?

How dare you just barge into my office!

Clean up this mess-

- But- - Now!

I've never yelled at a student before.

I like it.

We made it! You okay, Josie?

- Ha-ha, yes.

Vaughn?

I found your mom's hair clip in my bag.

Yeah, I'm, I'm sorry about that, Josie.

It's just, the clip belonged to my mom.

- I understand.

But you taking that clip stopped you

from existing in the present.

It's how your mom and dad met.

Vaughn, I know it's hard growing up without a mom.

But, now you've seen her, you've met her

and you met your dad.

- Yeah. Man, was he different than he is now.

I wanna find out what happened to him.

- Well, do us both a favor and talk to him at your house.

No more time travel.

- Who, me?

(Josie sighing)

(air whooshes)

I don't know you or why you're here but you were right.

I put the hair clip back.

Don't know what you're talking about.

The hair clip. You said to put it back.

You were there. I saw you.

- You're mistaken.

- No, I'm not.

You're the reason everything is back to normal.

- Normal? Ha.

- Pretty cool, huh?

I just wanted to remember my trip back there.

I, I got a question for you.

When we removed the hair clip, Vic and Sarah never met.

Vaughn was never born,

and Pearadyne Industries never was.

That's why he was teaching here.

But why were you affected by all this?

I mean, why were you flipping hamburgers?

- Well, since you ask, when I was at school,

I was great at science, but everything else

was a little cloudy and I didn't think

that I would be able to go to college.

But then, at the last minute, I received a scholarship,

which allowed me to continue my studies.

- And?

- It was a Pearadyne Industries Scholarship.

When a position became available here,

Mr. Pearson called me personally.

I felt I owed him after all he's done for me.

- Oh, wow.

- And one hair clip did all that?

- I think this is yours.

- A lot of good it's gonna do me.

I already lost the other one.

(Vaughn chuckling)

(train whistle blowing)

- Hey, dad, you took out the trains.

- I still like just watching them.

Brings back memories of my youth.

- Uh, dad, I, I kind of wanted to thank you

for getting me into that science club.

I, I know I thought it was lame at first, but...

Truth is, I kind of like it now.

Science is cool.

Did you always like it?

- Always.

Vaughn, just let me take care of a few things,

and we'll go for a walk and we'll talk about science.

- Great.

(machine beeping)

(instrumental music)

Pearadyne Industries,

and son.

(fireworks blowing)

(upbeat music)

? Uh, oh, oh ?

? Oh, yeah ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh, yeah ?
