(upbeat music playing)

- Are you sure that rocket's safe?

- Perfectly. She'll just blast straight up

and come straight back down. (keyboard clacking)

- And what if it goes seriously off course?

- Then my telemetry station will track every inch

of the flight from start to finish.

(device buzzing)

- What if it blows up on the pad?

- Guys! Relax!

Nothing is gonna go wrong.

Okay, triple-checked everything.

All systems are go from launch.

(dramatic music)

Five...four...three... (dramatic music continues)

two...

one.

(engine revving)

Blast off.

(air whooshing)

We have takeoff on Wheeler one.

(keyboard clacking)

Wheeler One is right on course

and climbing through 1000 feet.

Altitude looks good.

Fuel burn looks good.

Approaching cloud base.

Oh man! This is going great.

(engine revving) (engine fizzes)

- Uh... Marshall?

- What happened to Wheeler One?

(device whizzing)

- Marshall, what is that?

- [Marshall] I, I don't, I don't know,

but it's coming right at us.

(air whooshing)

(engine revving)

(device thuds)

(dramatic guitar music)

(footsteps trampling)

(device buzzing)

- Okay.

Let's check it out.

- Carefully.

(device hissing)

(mysterious music)

- That's definitely not my rocket.

- Yeah, but what is it?

(dramatic music)

(exciting music) - [Josie] 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.

(electricity buzzes) Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

? Oh oh ah ?

- [Josie] And what's this guy

doing here? ? Oh yeah ?

- Is his floating sphere ? Oh oh oh ?

- the key to the mystery? ? Oh yeah ?

- Something's going on ? Oh ?

- and someone's behind it ? Oh ?

- and we are gonna get to the bottom of it.

? Oh yeah ?

- There is nothing wrong at Blake Holsey High.

(upbeat music)

(door clicks)

- [Marshall] Professor Z.

- Hi, Marshall.

How did the flight of Wheeler one go?

- Wheeler one went up and this came down.

- What is it?

- We were kind of hoping you could tell us.

- It was inside a sphere.

- Which crashed into the back field.

- Then the sphere around it just disappeared.

Leaving this.

- Vaughn should be here to see this.

- Not unless we want Victor finding out.

- Ah, it appears to be manufactured.

It's actually a very intriguing mixture of materials.

There's no obvious markings.

It's smooth, below room temperature,

silent,

actually quite light.

Must be an alloy.

Could be anything.

(chair creaks)

You say it came out of the sky?

- I think it toasted Wheeler one.

- Maybe it's a piece of space junk.

They fall to earth all the time.

- In disappearing spheres?

Josie, what do you think?

- I think, I don't know what to think.

Just gives me the creeps.

(device buzzing)

Okay.

(device buzzing)

(device hissing)

(device timer humming) - Josie, what did you do?

- I don't know.

Nothing. I just touched it.

(timer clicking) - Look at the timer.

It's a bomb.

- Lucas, why would anyone send us a bomb?

- Why? What if the launch of Wheeler one was interpreted

as an act of aggression by an alien race?

And this is their response?

- [Josie] Lucas, I'm scared.

- Me too.

- No, I mean, I'm scared about you.

- [Lucas] Yeah, you're right.

It's probably nothing.

Just an intergalactic egg timer.

Not.

- Professor Z.

- I don't know.

Timers that countdown usually countdown for a purpose.

And we don't know what this timer's purpose is

but I seriously doubt it's a bomb.

- It's already down to 26 minutes.

(knuckles tapping)

- [Principal] Professor Zachary, the faculty meeting

will begin in my office in two minutes.

That's two minutes, Professor Zachary, two minutes.

- Okay, I have to go.

I will get out of there as soon as possible.

I don't think it's a bomb.

(door clicks)

- You heard what Z said.

It's not a bomb.

- He said he doesn't think it's a bomb.

There's a difference.

- Lucas could be right, Josie.

- Let's take it outside.

(timer ticking)

- Well?

- I'm not touching it.

- Don't look at me.

- (sighs) I'll carry it.

(footsteps thudding)

(Lucas panting)

(body thuds)

(Lucas grunts)

- Hey, science boy.

What for me? You shouldn't have.

- Stew, I really need that back.

- But you just gave it to me.

Another one of your mega brain science things?

- [Group] No! (device thuds)

(Stew laughs)

- Come on, (grunts) we're in a bit of a hurry.

- Okay, Randall.

Nothing like a little hustle.

- Guys, come on.

- Come on, give that back.

- Sure, brain box.

(hand taps) Go long.

- Oh. (intense music)

(Lucas grunts)

(dramatic music)

(Lucas grunts)

- Nice dive, Lucas.

Next time you might want to push off more from your knees.

(Marshall sighs)

(grunts) What is it anyway?

(device buzzing)

- Whoa, Vaughn, what did you do to it?

- Nothing. I, I just picked it up.

- What happened?

- Well, the good news is it's probably not a bomb.

- The bad news is half of the school is about to see it.

- I, I see you took the project out for some air.

Well, now that that's done,

(coat thuds) why don't we go back

to my office, shall we?

(dramatic music)

(fire whirring)

(intense music)

- And it was all closed up?

- Until I touched it.

And then the timer started.

- And then you picked it up and started the red light.

- Hey, I didn't do anything.

- Perhaps you did.

It seems the enigma only responds

if either you or Josie touches it.

I wonder if biometrics might be involved.

- Bio what?

- Biometrics, recognition and identification of a person

based on their physiological and behavioral characteristics.

- Traits like fingerprints, facial features, retina, speech.

- Given the success of your interaction,

it would appear that this object was sent specifically

for you...

and Josie.

(mysterious music)

- Why both of us?

- That's a good question.

(device buzzing) - [Corrine] Look at this guys.

(Marshall grunts)

- What do you think the red light means?

(air whooshing)

- That's not an ordinary light

that's a laser

and it appears to be modulating.

- In English, Corrine.

- Modulated lasers can be used

to carry information like fiber optics.

- They can also be used to create holograms.

- You don't think?

- There's only one way to find out.

(dramatic music)

(air whirring)

(door bangs)

Okay, to create a hologram.

I'm passing the light from the laser beam

through a beam splitter.

One beam passes through a lens,

(footsteps tapping)

bounces off a mirror,

and hits the object you want to make a hologram of

and bounces off onto a photographic film.

- Like Professor Z's coffee cup.

- I wasn't finished with my coffee.

- It's for demonstration purposes only.

- The second beam also passes through a lens

and bounces off a mirror.

But this beam lands on the photographic film

without hitting the coffee cup.

Now when the two laser beams smash into each other

they make an interference pattern on the film.

That pattern becomes a hologram.

- And since cameras and projectors have the same technology.

- You're saying this might be a holographic projector?

- Well, here it goes.

(lasers buzzing)

(suspenseful music)

- Nothing.

- Sorry, Corrine.

Was a brilliant guess though.

(fireworks popping)

- Look, one, zero, zero, four, eight, seven.

(air whooshing)

- What do those numbers mean?

- Maybe it's the disarm code.

We're saved.

- Wait, Lucas, look at the numbers.

10, 04, 87.

- The date of the Pearadyne accident.

The date your father opened up the vortex

for the very first time

- The day your mom...died.

- [Corrine] Sorry, Vaughn.

- Did you check out today's date?

- [Marshall] Today's the anniversary of the explosion.

- Coincidence? I don't think so.

- Maybe someone's trying to send us a message.

- But who?

- Let's enter the numbers and find out.

(buttons beeping)

(device whirring)

Whoa.

- That space.

It looks like a holder of some kind.

- I think I know what fits in there.

(bells chiming)

- Wait, you've seen this before?

- Remember when I was having those waking dreams

when I couldn't sleep?

I dreamt I saw your mother.

She was wearing a pendant around her neck.

(bells chiming)

She said that she was gonna give it

to Victor to hold for Vaughn.

And that one day Vaughn would know what to do with it.

(object thudding)

I guess that day's today.

(mysterious music)

- This is getting freaky, guys.

- Maybe someone sent us more than just a message.

Maybe it's a message in a bottle.

Vaughn, do you think you could get the pendant

from your father before the timer goes to zero?

- Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

- I have a feeling there's something inside this

and the pendant is the key.

- [Lucas] Whoa. Where do you think

you're going? (engine revving)

- I was gonna take this to my father.

- I don't think so, Vaughn.

I say we keep the device here.

- Lucas, if the device was meant for Vaughn,

he should have some say in how we use it.

- Lucas, I know you don't trust me

and if you don't wanna move past it, that's fine.

That's your thing.

But I need to show this to my father.

I mean, he won't just believe that I found it.

He'll want to see it for himself.

- You've got less than 14 minutes.

- How is Vaughn gonna get the pendant

if he doesn't show Victor the device?

- There's a safe behind a painting in your father's office.

- What?

- I think your pendant is in there.

(bell dings)

Remember when I messed around

with my glasses and got that freaky supervision?

(air whooshes)

I saw the safe in Victor's office

and I think the pendant.

(mysterious music) (air whooshing)

The paintings near your father's desk.

- You've got 13 minutes left.

- No time to argue.

If you run, you should be able to get the pendant

and make it back in time.

One more thing,

just to be safe.

Under no circumstances are you to tell your father

about this device.

- Okay.

(door clicks)

- You think he'll keep his word?

- He's a Pearson.

You do the math.

(machine hisses)

(dramatic upbeat music)

(footsteps thudding)

(feet tapping)

(Vaughn grunts) (door rumbling)

(machine buzzing)

- (grunts) What's the combination?

- Zero, one, one, six,

(footsteps thudding) six, one.

Your mother's birthday.

Oh, and you'll need this as well.

What could possibly be of interest to you in my safe?

- (sighs) Dad.

- You're sweating, Vaughn.

Everything okay?

- Listen, I know about the pendant, dad.

The one mom left for me as a gift and I want it.

- How do you know about that pendant?

- Listen, dad, this isn't important right now.

I just need it.

- Before you said want.

Now you're saying need.

How did you find out about it?

- This is gonna sound crazy.

(sighs) Josie saw mom give it to me in a dream.

- (sighs) Josie Trent, again.

Who could have imagined

that one little girl could cause me so much consternation?

(buttons beeping)

It's true.

(lock clicks)

Your mother did give this to me for safekeeping.

(glass clinking)

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I didn't know if you were ready to have it, until now.

Now you tell me why you really need it.

- Right. Uh...

you know, at the school right now the,

my friends are waiting for me, dad.

And I'd really like to have that pendant.

I mean, mom left it for me as a gift.

(enlightening music)

I'd really like to have it.

(enlightening music continues)

- Fine.

(pendant clinks)

(pendant thuds)

(enlightening music)

- Thanks, I'll take good care of it.

- I know you will.

That's why I'm giving it to you.

- Listen, I'm late for something.

Gotta run.

(footsteps thudding)

(machine humming)

(footsteps tapping)

- He's not gonna make it.

(Josie gasps)

(upbeat music)

(shade thuds)

- Yes he is.

(upbeat music)

(door clicks)

- Got it.

- Your dad gave it to you, just like that?

- Oh not really.

Took a little convincing.

- [Marshall] You know, I'm almost impressed.

(pendant clicks) Let's put that sucker

in the other sucker and see what these suckers do.

- You really gotta spend less time with that band of yours.

(machine buzzing)

- [Marshall] Is, is that a good thing?

(hologram buzzing)

- Guys.

That's my mom.

- Vaughn, thank you.

I know it's been a long time since the accident.

I sent this to you as soon

as I could in the hope that you would find it.

I just want you to know

that I love you and I miss you very much.

One day I will return to you

and your father and explain everything that's happened.

For now, leave the pendant

in the device so I know you got the message.

When the timer counts down to zero

there's an automatic telemetry unit inside

that will bring it to me.

- Guys.

My mom's still alive.

- I don't know, Vaughn.

- And one last thing, make sure the device is outside

with plenty of space overhead when the timer goes to zero.

And Vaughn,

whatever happens never forget how much I love you.

(hologram fizzles)

(device fizzles)

(dramatic music)

- I think we need to get it outside.

- Wait a minute.

(chair thuds)

Let's say we see where it goes.

(dramatic music) - [Professor] 90 seconds left.

- Guys, help me get this gear set up.

(gear thuds)

(dramatic music continues)

(Vaughn sighs)

- [Professor] 70 seconds.

- Done.

- [Lucas] We made it.

(pendant thuds) (device fizzles)

- Josie.

- What are you doing?

- There's something about that hologram message.

Something that doesn't seem right to me.

- What?

- I mean, Vaughn, how do we know it's really your mom?

What if it's some kind of trick to get the pendant?

I'm just saying maybe if it's that important,

we should just hold onto it.

- Josie, you heard my mom.

(keyboard clacking) If she gets that,

she'll know that I'm okay.

- 55 seconds.

- [Marshall] You know she could be right.

- But she might not.

- Is this always going to be our problem? Trust?

Listen guys, sooner or later we're gonna have to decide

if we can trust each other or not.

- I've made up my mind.

I'm voting in favor of sending the pendant back.

- [Marshall] Me too.

- [Corrine] Okay, Vaughn.

(dramatic music)

(pendant taps)

- Thanks.

- 15 seconds, Vaughn. Everybody, stand back.

(machine hisses)

(machine humming)

- [All] Five, four,

three, two, one. (machine humming continues)

(lid thuds)

(machine squeaks)

(engine revving) (intense music)

- Marshall, did we get it?

(computer beeping) - Tracking it.

(computer beeping)

(engine revving) 600 feet.

700.

(computer beeps)

850.

(portal buzzing) (engine revving)

(engine fizzles)

- [Corrine] Marshall?

- It, it's gone.

Just disappeared.

(Lucas sighs)

- Hey Lucas.

Thanks.

- Sure.

- Vaughn, are you all right?

- Yeah.

(keyboard clacking)

- Lucas, I don't understand you sometimes.

- That's kind of our story, isn't it?

(Josie sighs)

(chess piece clacks)

- I still don't understand

why you let Vaughn have the pendant.

I thought you didn't trust him.

- I don't know.

Something he said made sense.

I know he is in a difficult situation

with his father and family loyalty,

but did you see his face

when he saw his mother in that hologram?

I guess I'd feel the same way if I was in his situation.

I'm beginning to think that...

(sighs) that maybe I've been wrong about him.

Maybe...he isn't as much like his father as I thought.

- Okay, who are you and what have you done with Lucas?

- Don't get me wrong.

I'm still not sure we did the right thing.

- (inhaling air) I guess we'll find out.

(Lucas sighs)

- Is it just me

or do you get the feeling

that there's something going on about Josie and Vaughn?

- It's not exactly a secret. You know?

- I don't mean that.

I mean a connection of some kind.

Maybe even more than they're aware of.

- It could be. (chuckles)

All I know is the more we've learned, (sighs)

the stranger things get.

(mysterious music)

(item thuds) (paper crinkling)

(shovel clunking)

(dirt thuds)

(shovel clunking)

(intense music)

(upbeat music)

? Oh oh oh ?

? Oh yeah ?

? Oh oh oh oh yeah ?

? Oh oh oh ?

? Oh yeah ?
