Original subtitles

Oh, my God.

It's working.

No, it's too sporadic! We're gonna lose it!

Give it more.

Turn the knob, turn the knob, Simon!

What?

Oh, my God.

Look! Look!

It's working!

We did it!

Simon!

Simon, we did it!

Let there be light, huh?

Heyyy!

Ah! Beep, beep...

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

Agh!

Beep, beep, beep.

Agh!

The chili.

Phew!

Ah.

Simon Orwell.

MIT?

A student?

Why would he be here?

Maybe for this... hmm.

Pedro, don't touch that.

Por que?

Because you don't know what it is or what it does.

But it's not even plugged in.

Hey, Simon Orwell.

Well, I hope you're hungry.

Harold Finch.

Ah.

So where am I?

Well, I assume that you know you're in Mexico.

And beyond that, you're at the Tres Llaves Orphanage.

I run the place, and Sofia here helps out,

and Pedro keeps the place running.

I'm at an orphanage?

What are you doing here, amigo?

Came here to see someone.

Got a little caught up on the way

when someone shot at me in your beautiful country.

Shot at?

You guys happen to know a professor around here?

Professor Vasquez?

Ring any bells?

How do you know Professor Vasquez?

Do you know Armando Vasquez?

You want to give him that for me?

Professor Vasquez is dead, Simon.

No.

Very suddenly, last week.

No, Professor Vasquez is not dead.

He e-mailed me and asked me to come here a few days ago

and give him that... I--

I'm sorry.

He was my friend too.

He gave a lot to this orphanage.

We had big plans.

What happened?

He was poisoned.

We don't know that.

He was poisoned?

I have to make a phone call.

I'm sorry about your loss, Simon.

Simon, we get supplies from vans

that come across the border.

There's one here now.

I can make arrangements to get you back

as long as you have your passport.

You don't have your passport.

In the passenger seat.

I guess I forgot to grab it when people were shooting at me.

You can take your chances with U.S. Immigration

at the border without your passport.

Otherwise, you're gonna have to go to the American Embassy here,

and that'll take weeks.

There will be a van leaving tonight before nightfall.

While you're here,

mi casa es su casa.

Good luck.

It's Pedro, right?

Amigo?

Thanks.

De nada.

If you need anything, you can tell me or my sister.

Who's your sister?

Yeah, Sofia.

We're one big happy family here.

Nice shot.

So, you're the gringo orphan?

Apparently I am.

That's quite a shot you've got there.

I'm Juan.

I run the place.

You run the place?

Yeah.

What about Harold?

My helper.

Helper.

So, bomb?

Not quite.

It's a pipe dream.

Dr. Harold talks a lot about dreams.

He says the more impossible, the bigger the blessing.

Well, that's quite the blessing

because it's definitely impossible.

Anything's possible.

So, what does it do?

Well, it's supposed to be a tuner.

Tunes music, right?

Electricity, actually.

Ohhh.

You have to pay them.

I told you I'm not paying those people a dime.

Harold, we can do nothing around here without the cartel.

They control everything.

Harold!

God has always provided.

Now, about this stray.

Harold, I am uncomfortable with this.

Who knows what kind of business he is wrapped up in.

Listen, do you know that Pedro told me

that the men who were chasing him were El Noche's men?

You know, Vasquez used to tell me

about this brilliant student that he had

who had been able to take his research further in months

than he'd been able to in years and I think--

Harold, Vasquez is dead.

The project is too.

Okay, can we--please, can we focus on the now?

Simon is this student.

It's not dead; it's very much alive.

Brilliance does not know good from bad, Harold.

And I don't like the looks of him.

I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?

Oh, no, no.

Come on in.

I just want to say I think I'm gonna,

you know, take my chances at the border.

It's a risk.

I am going to call Enrique, okay?

Just sit for a minute, please.

What's up?

Let's talk.

Red rope?

I'm okay.

Come on, everybody loves red rope.

It's red rope!

Okay.

It won't kill you quite as quick as tobacco.

That was my vice of choice back in my NASA days.

The whole place could have burned down

and nobody would've noticed it back in those days.

You worked at NASA?

During Apollo.

That's how I met your Professor Armando.

So you went to NASA, and now you run an orphanage.

That makes sense.

Well, I did quite a few things since my NASA days.

Oh, yeah?

I've started a few businesses,

conducted seminars for Fortune 500 companies.

Motivational type stuff?

The whole "Be all you can be," right?

Well, there's a little bit more to it than that.

I know plenty of people who are highly motivated

who have no clue as to what they're doing.

So what is your secret of success, Mr. Finch?

Well, I like to start out by asking people

to write down three goals in life.

Well--

I feel like I'm a fifth grader right now.

Don't laugh.

What's your first goal?

Find my passport and get out of here.

That's a goal in life?

Come on, you can do better than that.

"Find my passport," okay.

What's your second?

That's it, really.

Just get my passport and go home.

That's all you've got?

Yep. Okay, well--

That's it, that's all I got.

All right, it's a start.

Before you go,

I've got something I want to show you.

He never gave up.

Watch.

He did it.

Huh, he did it.

Yeah.

And then he overdid it, every time.

Whoa.

Yeah.

He said he needed some device to tune it.

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

He called it Ilimitado.

Unlimited.

Dr. Harold, pardon.

The van is here.

They found another one.

Martinez.

Harold, how are you?

Who do we have here?

Oh, hola.

I just found her.

Think you have some space for her?

Of course, of course.

Hey, what do I have there?

It's for you.

Cómo estás?

Hi, Sofia.

That's Agent Martinez.

She's a federales, a good friend of Dr. Harold's.

She finds children everywhere

and, well, she prefers to bring them here

than taking them to the state orphanage.

That's how they all wound up here?

Not all of them.

But enough.

Mira.

It's getting late.

Why don't you help me unpack the van.

You know, Sofia is close to the town mayor,

Enrique De Angelo.

He knows some people at the U.S. Embassy

and says he might can help your passport situation.

Might take only a week.

You can stay here if you like, as long as you obey the rules

and pay your way.

Oh, yeah?

Maybe finish the professor's work.

The professor's dead,

and I just want to get across the border before I am too.

Well, the border shouldn't be any problem

as long as you don't have any priors.

No, of course not.

In that case, good luck.

It was good meeting you, and...

fill this out, will you?

Good luck, señor.

Vaya con Dios.

Simon, what's up?

Hey, uh, I think I'm gonna go look for my passport

in the morning.

Would you mind if I just stay for one night?

Sure, sure.

Hey, do you mind taking a look at something for me?

Maybe you can help me out with something here.

Solar lantern kits from China

for the kids to build and, you know, put together,

and they're gonna sell them

through this charitable outfit in El Paso.

You know, it'll help them with their work ethic.

The only problem is, once we assembled them,

the doggone things wouldn't work.

Chinese-made lanterns assembled by Mexican orphans.

No wonder there's a problem.

Yeah.

Well, here are the schematics

that you might want to take a look at.

Once you get through with that,

maybe you want to revisit the professor's device.

Harold, I'm going to look for my passport tomorrow

and then I'm leaving.

I can show you how to turn it on,

but that's--that's as far as I'm gonna go.

Where is it anyways?

I don't know, we don't have it.

You don't have it.

No.

Well, do you know where it is?

It could be over at the professor's home.

He had a lab over there,

but the police have all that shut down.

Well, there you go.

Yeah.

Simon, I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad someone is.

God, get me out of here.

Huh!

So you are still here, huh?

Well, I'm praying that your passport resolves quickly

so that you can leave.

The sooner the better.

Oh! Enrique.

Hola, niños.

Como estas?

Mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira.

Looks like a popular guy.

Mayor De Angelo.

Let's me call him "Enrique," like a Mexican Superman.

Oh, yeah?

He's the first mayor to stand up against drug cartels.

Even El Noche is afraid of him.

Enrique is running for governor of Chihuahua.

Bet you 50 pesos he's gonna win.

Yeah, looks like he wins all right.

Ready, guys?

Up, up!

Who the pleasure do I have?

Uh, pleasure of Simon Orwell.

Enrique De Angelo.

Sofia told me you have some problems and--

Mm-hmm.

--I'm very sorry about that.

That's not the way to greet a visitor.

And he needs you to contact the Embassy

so they can reissue a passport immediately.

You lost your passport?

Mm-hmm.

That's not too smart, Simon.

But I'll tell you what, for Sofia,

I will offer my services.

Because we don't want to keep Mr. Orwell here

any longer than we have to.

Gracias, señorita.

You're welcome.

Hasta luego.

Hey, welcome to my town.

If you need anything, please don't hesitate.

I'll be more than happy to help you.

More than happy to help me, huh?

Yes.

All right.

I could use a ride to Mr. Vasquez's house.

I need to get something.

It's about this big...

There's wires, there's-- it's shiny.

Mmm.

The professor was your friend, yes?

That's the reason why I came here.

And this shiny thing, the device,

do you know how it works?

I do, actually.

I helped him make it.

Oh.

Well, I'll tell you what, Simon,

um, we believe the professor has been poisoned,

he's been murdered, and I suspect by his doctor.

She's a very dangerous woman.

Because it's a police procedure, I can't let you snoop around,

and I hope you understand that.

No big deal.

Just thought I'd ask.

I'll tell you what,

why don't we fill out the paperwork

so I can get you a new passport.

Don't worry.

Everything is gonna be fine.

Hey, niños! Vámonos!

Yeah, I think I'll find my own passport.

Hola, Mr. Simon.

How did you do it?

Pedro, are you busy?

Why?

So what's up with Harold and all of his Jesus talk?

That man sounds like a bumper sticker.

It's weird. Who talks like that?

Dr. Harold does.

Yeah, this looks right.

Stop.

That's the same guy.

He took something out of my car!

Uh, and he's coming this way.

What do we do?

Duck.

What?

He's gone.

He's gone, get up.

Now what?

Well, you know, we follow him.

He took something of mine.

We follow him.

No, no, Simon.

Simon, Simon, stop!

I can't believe that, man.

Hurry up, man.

Get out, get out, get out, get out!

Loco, get to the back.

I can't believe it.

Ha-ha! Hallelujah!

Gloria a Dios!

Man, you're about as subtle as a Mexican jumping bean, man.

Come on, man, let's go.

I need my passport.

No, no, no, no.

It's an old house.

Let's go.

Simon, listen, man.

This is not a good idea.

You shouldn't be over here, man.

It's okay.

We're just gonna--we're gonna look through the windows

for a second.

We're not gonna go inside.

Hey, tell me about your sister.

Sofia?

Yeah.

She always so welcoming?

Oh, she's headstrong, you know.

Always has been.

But--well, you know we were both orphans, right?

I didn't know that... I'm sorry.

No, don't be sorry.

Dr. Harold took us in.

He taught us that we could be anything

regardless of where we came from.

He said our potential was ilimitado.

So now you're using your unlimited potential

to be his janitor?

Hey, man, listen,

I'm gonna run an orphanage of my own one day.

I'm just learning the ropes here.

Yes, that's very noble of you.

In the meantime, I'd keep an eye on your sister

because it looks like she runs the joint.

Well, you know, she took Dr. Harold's teachings to heart.

She went to business school in the U.S.

Oh, yeah?

She has way too many dreams.

Anyway, I think she's gonna settle down

now that she's engaged.

She's engaged?

Well, not too many people know this,

but they've been dating for, like, three months.

Harold and I met him about two weeks ago.

I think he'll be good for her, though.

He's a powerful man.

Oh, yeah.

What are you doing?!

I told you I'm getting my passport.

You're crazy, loco, man.

Careful.

This is a mess.

Oh, man, is that what I think?

Simon, we've got to get out of here right now, man.

I don't want to be here anymore.

We've gotta go.

What are you looking at?

Professor Vasquez.

This must be his house.

Oh, you're loco.

No, we've got to get out of here right now, man.

Loco!

Simon, you're not listening to me.

That blood back there,

I think that belongs to Professor Vasquez.

What are you doing?

I'm just looking at this e-mail.

What are you do-- why are you touching that?

He used to have this on his desk at MIT.

We've gotta go.

What are you doing?

Is that a key?

How'd you do that?

Where'd you get that key?

What is that?

It's a frequency chart.

What else is in there?

Just this Bible.

Sí, sí, sí, sí.

Yoo-hoo?

Give me my passport.

Agh!

Yoo-hoo?

Yoo-hoo-ooo?

Yoo-hoooo?

Ah, agh!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I can't--

I can't keep doing these adventures

with you anymore, Simon.

Hey, who's this woman?

Her name is Clara.

She's a doctor in town.

She's known as the bruja.

What's a bruja?

It's a-- how do you say?

A witch.

What were you two thinking?

That's a crime scene.

Look, to be honest, we didn't know

it was the professor's house till after we broke in.

Broke in?

Pedro.

Pardon, Dr. Harold.

Look, there's something we're not being told.

Uh, Enrique thinks the professor was poisoned,

and you think that he died of natural causes, right?

That's what was reported.

Yeah, well, we just came back from his house,

and it was completely destroyed

and there was blood spatter all over the kitchen,

not to mention the device is missing.

Does that sound like natural causes to you?

It's true.

And the guy who led us there,

yeah, it was the same guy

who tried to kill me and took my passport.

Hmm.

Who's this Clara woman, huh?

I'd like to talk to her

because I'm pretty sure she knows something.

Maybe she does,

but she's been missing ever since Vasquez died.

Somebody wanted me dead.

Somebody wanted my advice.

Clara happens to be missing.

This is all connected.

When was the professor pronounced dead?

Last week sometime.

I got an e-mail from him three days ago,

asking me what time I was gonna cross the border,

what kind of car I was driving,

and what my license plate numbers were.

Somebody hacked into his e-mail account,

and that's how they knew I was coming.

We need to talk to Enrique.

And you two need to stay put.

No problemo.

Hola.

Harold.

Hey, Enrique.

Good to see you.

Good to see you, my friend.

How have you been?

I've been good, I've been good.

Well, I've got a present in the back for you.

Oh. Police evidence.

Really?

Simon, I take it he's treating you well, huh?

He's put me to work.

Well, he's good at that.

Well, I've got some good news for you

and I've got some bad news for you.

Let's start with the bad news.

That's bad news, it's really bad news.

Where did you get this?

Well, our reach is long around here.

But I'll tell what you, the good news,

with these we'll be able to expedite your new passport.

Should receive it within a week.

Excuse me.

Simon, Simon.

Enrique apparently found this in police evidence.

Look at this.

Well, what do you think?

They treated her like a piñata is what I think.

Can you rebuild it?

I'm not touching that thing.

Why?

What is it with you and this device?

Bad memories.

Simon, there's a world out there waiting for this thing.

Now, this is not about you.

It's bigger than that.

Let me show you something.

Old Vasquez and I may have been retired for a while,

but we never stopped dreaming.

Millions of people die every year

for one simple reason:

lack of access to energy.

This device will allow us to provide free energy

to the most remote villages.

You know what that means?

We can open orphanages anywhere.

Theoretically.

All right, my device can generate 500 watts max.

All right, that's-- that's like a light bulb.

All right, this is-- this is a whole village.

Listen, you don't understand.

Your device is a prototype.

It's just designed to show what's possible.

You don't need your device to light up a village.

This is what's possible.

When I was at NASA, I had this colleague.

He now runs Sol Energy Enterprises.

He runs Sol?

Yeah, he does.

If we can demonstrate a sustained flow of energy

even for a little while,

he wants to buy the patent to this thing

with the agreement that he'll fund it and develop it.

Sol Enterprises is interested in--

Yeah, he wants to buy this patent.

He's gonna be in town next week for a demonstration.

And you didn't tell him it was dead in the water, did you?

Is it?

What's up?

Oye! You scared me!

I'm sorry.

How's he doing?

I don't trust him.

You don't trust anybody from north of the border.

Huh!

That's not true, I trust you.

Enrique said that he found out some things about him.

He may not be who you think he is.

Just be careful with your trust, Harold.

This is Armando.

Simon, is that you? Simon?

You don't have your hand raised, so I'm gonna ask you...

What about some others here?

What would you like to be?

When I'm-- I'm big and grown up,

I'm going to be a doctor of animals.

Ah, okay.

Julio, what do you want to be when you grow up, buddy?

An adult.

An adult?

Once you become an adult, what would you like to be?

A pilot.

A pilot.

What about some others here?

Most people look at these kids

and all they see are future drug dealers and thieves.

People like pets around here a lot.

People like...

Dr. Harold, he sees doctors and lawyers and businessmen.

Okay, you know who this is?

Juan.

No, this is not Juan.

This is a baby elephant.

See?

Let's do something here.

Let me show you something.

I'm going to put this on the baby elephant.

So, try to walk away.

Ahhh, he can't.

He can't leave. Why?

Because that's the way they train elephants.

They put these heavy chains on them,

year after year after year.

They want to walk, but they're held back.

So after a while they just get used to it.

The baby elephants...

My turn is coming up.

Baby elephants become grownup elephants.

And we just happen to have with us today

a grownup elephant.

Mr. Elephant, come down.

Looka there.

Looka there, looka there.

He wants some peanuts or something.

Looka there.

All right, here he comes.

All right, Mr. Grownup Elephant.

Now, we're gonna put something on him.

It's not a heavy chain.

I don't know if he knows it or not,

but it's just a piece of twine.

Now look at this elephant.

This is a big, strong elephant.

Look at those muscles in this elephant, yeah.

Clearly, this big, strong elephant

could break this piece of twine if he wanted to,

but that twine is holding him back now.

How can that be?

Because after all those years of being held back

with that big ol' chain,

he apparently got to feeling like,

you know, that's the way it was supposed to be.

So this little piece of twine

can hold this big, strong elephant.

Thank you, Mr. Elephant.

My little friends,

you may feel like you're being held back.

You're a really good elephant.

Some bad things might happen to you,

might have already happened to you.

Some thoughtless people might put you down.

All these things, they're not good,

but they are not chains that can hold you.

Know that you can do whatever you want to do,

go wherever you want to go.

Don't ever feel held back

because God has a wonderful plan for each of us,

but we must do our part.

When you guys cross the border with the supplies,

how often do they check the cargo?

Not much anymore.

They know us... Why?

Could be cheaper than hiring a coyote to get me home.

Don't talk like that, Simon.

You'll get your passport.

The good Lord will provide.

Hey.

The lanterns are ready.

Really?

Yeah, well, I don't sleep much.

How's the device?

Same as it always was.

Hmm.

Well, since you're gonna have a little time...

sort of a compilation of the seminars I used to give.

Oh, yeah?

You know, keys to unlocking those impossible dreams?

Thank you.

Wanna play some football?

You mean soccer?

Silly me.

Why call a game that uses your feet "football"?

It's a good point, but, you know,

I don't really feel like playing games right now.

Ask this guy.

Yeah, I'll play. Vámonos.

Go long.

I'll, uh... I'll give it a read.

You're the man.

You're the man.

Juan?

What is this? What's going on?

What's it look like?

Power's out.

I see that.

Where's Harold?

Out with Pedro getting supplies.

Want to learn a cool trick?

Sure.

Yeah?

Follow me.

Sometimes those carteles force the power company

to shut off our power.

Yeah, well, I'm about to turn it back on again.

You sure this is safe?

Used to do this all the time when I was a kid.

Wires.

All you've got to do--

Careful.

--is hook these like that.

Simple.

Ah.

Careful.

Simon!

Agh! Ouch!

Uno mas. Uno mas!

Agh! Ándale!

It's the loco!

Hey, you okay?

You okay?

What's going on here?

Your friendly power supplier cut the power.

I was trying to hook it back up for you.

By stealing it?

Harold, you're running an orphanage.

You need power.

Not this way.

We have to set an example.

Little hard to do in the dark.

Well, it's impossible to do without a moral compass.

Oh, please.

Can't we use those solar lanterns?

No, they didn't finish charging in the sun.

Look, what they did was wrong.

Let me just hook it up for the night.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I said no.

All right, fine.

Fine, I'm sorry.

I was just trying to help you.

Break out the candles.

Hey, man.

You still pouting?

Why would I be pouting

when I have a huge basketful of candles?

Look, Simon, I know your heart's in the right place.

You just need to under--

Shh, shh.

What's wrong?

She's afraid of the dark.

Yeah, well, I tried to do something about that earlier.

Well, you know what?

You could turn the lights on for a lot of little girls

if you'd just finish the professor's work.

You wouldn't even have to climb those poles.

Never quit, do you?

No, never do.

So you're afraid of the dark, huh?

I think I might be able to solve that problem for you.

You know, I used to be afraid of the dark,

but then I discovered a little trick.

See this guy, the light bulb,

hasn't changed much since its conception,

but in order for it to work, it needs a power source.

And we need wires.

These are very important.

See, these wires carry energy from the battery

all the way up to the light bulb,

which heats up the filament,

which excites electrons to create...

light.

Huh?

She doesn't speak any English.

Thank you for not telling me that.

Ah.

Now she says she wants you to make it work

without the battery.

Tell her she sounds like an old professor of mine.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

What are you looking at?

I don't want anything to do with you.

Fine.

Ha-ha-ha!

I know that look well.

What look is that?

Madman reaching for the stars.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, right.

Sorry, Mr. Soccer.

Let me guess, too busy to play football.

Yep.

Oh.

But I'll school you in some soccer.

Try me.

Ahem.

Harold said you would be working late,

and he asked me to bring you some food.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I'm finding myself very envious

of all those little Mexican orphans.

It's kind of ironic.

A privileged American jealous of poor little Mexican orphans.

Yes, I think that is pretty ironic, Simon.

You hate me, don't you?

You really do.

You know, that was very kind of you what you did

with the light the other day for the little girl.

I used to always be afraid of the dark.

That's probably why I got into electrical engineering.

So then that must be your goal, right?

Mr. MIT bringing light

to us impoverished, poor little Mexican people.

You're talking about Harold's three goals?

Exactly.

Yes, Harold makes everyone do it.

In fact, the first time that I introduced him to Enrique,

he sat him down and made him do it too.

Mm-hmm.

He didn't do it?

Yes.

I think Enrique had his secretary do it.

Probably.

Yeah.

Well, then, what is at the top of your goal list?

You don't know.

No idea.

Ha-ha.

Why does that not surprise me?

You are, then, the-- the goal-less wanderer

floating from town to town.

That's what it is.

Since you know me so well,

why don't you let me get to know you?

Enjoy your meal, Simon.

Power's back.

I noticed.

Miracle?

Sort of.

Enrique made a call.

How's it going?

I got it working again.

All right!

How's it work?

It's pretty simple really.

Yeah, I bet.

All right, so this captures radio waves

and then converts it into energy.

It's like one of those old crystal radios.

Yeah.

And then we use good ol' Tesla's theory

and shoot the power up through the air.

The only problem, I don't know how to send

that much electricity without--

Rzzzz.

Rzzzz, yeah.

But I'm thinking it has something to do

with this frequency chart that I found at Vasquez's house.

I just don't know which one.

Yeah.

You'll figure it out.

Let me tell you, when Vasquez died,

I thought all hope was lost.

But I must say, you have been the answer to my prayers.

Oh, yeah?

Never heard that one before.

Not much of a prayer man, huh?

Not much of a faith guy.

Really?

Well, I think science requires faith, Simon.

I mean, we know there's gravity.

Yeah.

We can even measure it.

Just don't know the source of its strength.

You believe in electricity.

You can even manipulate it.

You just don't know where the electron gets its energy.

You just know it's there.

That's faith.

I can buy the whole higher power thing,

but the benevolent Father, doesn't really hit home.

Well, I hope to prove you wrong about that.

Well, I hope you can prove me wrong about this,

figure out this frequency riddle.

Back at NASA--

Glory days story?

Yeah.

I was wrestling with the problem of how to control the heat load

on the Apollo spaceships.

People were telling me,

"You'll never send a man to the moon.

"They'll either burn up out there or freeze to death.

You'll never get there."

A real problem.

How did you solve it?

Um, eating barbecue.

What?

What do you mean barbecue?

I was watching this juicy chicken

on this rotisserie one night,

and it occurred to me if that rotisserie

could evenly distribute the heat on that chicken,

why couldn't we do the same thing

for our spacecraft?

So we took it and made it rotate.

You came up with that?

Why do you think they call it the barbecue roll?

Oh, I've heard of the barbecue roll.

Yeah. That's amazing.

Yeah, well,

these things come to you in strange ways sometimes.

Some of them defy human comprehension.

That's when you have to tune in

to a little bit of a different frequency, Simon.

And by that, I'm talking about prayer.

I'll tell you what, I'm about ready to test this.

So why don't you clasp your hands

and get God's attention because I need a miracle.

I'll do it.

Take Pedro?

Trade you Pedro for Sofia.

You better take what you can get.

Pedro it is.

You sure that thing works?

It looks like a failed science experiment.

Looks aren't everything, okay?

It's about what's inside that really matters.

Wow, muchas gracias, Dr. Harold.

Thank you for the fourth key of wisdom.

You're welcome.

Seriously, you better hurry up.

El Noche's men like to move at this time of night.

Well, I didn't think it was the best idea

setting this up in the middle of the orphanage.

Better to play it safe, you know, just in case.

In case of what?

In case it kills everything in a mile radius.

Hold this.

Thanks.

So let me get this straight,

if El Noche doesn't kill us, your experiment will.

Wonderful.

I never said there wasn't a downside.

But on the upside, you could make history.

Okay, well, Señor Loco, if you don't mind,

I'm gonna watch history from the van.

Suit yourself.

Let's light it up!

Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on, come on.

You're seeing this, right?

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Yes!

You're seeing this, right?

Ha-ha! I can't believe it!

Yes!

Simon, you did it, my friend!

Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!

Oh, my goodness!

Let there be light!

Amazing!

Simon?

Oh!

Simon?

Simon, you've gotta see this.

This is a historical blackout.

This is bad.

We have to do something.

Turn it off.

Hurry, man.

It's not working.

Do something.

Turn it off, man!

This is really gonna suck.

What?

Ugh!

Simon?

Simon!

Simon, you okay, man?

Are the lights back on?

Sí, they're back on.

Merry Christmas.

Dr. Harold?

Agghhh!

Maybe Sofia can take him next time?

Oh, it was awesome.

It was just like the video.

Yeah, blackouts and all.

Yeah, I was thinking I can--I can find a way

to modulate the frequency.

That's why Vasquez had me bring my tuner, you know?

Just got to find the right one.

Well, find the right frequency.

Yeah, but, I mean,

it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

When does your--when does your NASA guy get here?

Three days.

Okay, I've got some fried components

that I need to fix,

but that's still not enough time to test each frequency.

Well, maybe you won't have to.

I mean, did you-- did you look at this?

I mean, he's got some circled here.

Yeah.

It's not a proper frequency.

It doesn't--doesn't work.

Well, it must mean something.

Yeah, I thought that too.

I was thinking, Tesla had this code like--

It was like a-- it was a numeric cryptogram

that Vasquez and I used to do where a number equals a letter.

But unless you guys have any idea what "Juan 812" means.

Juan 812?

Hello?

Yeah, he's here.

Okay, I'll tell him.

Principal's office.

Simon.

Please have a seat.

You hungry?

No, I'm okay, thanks.

Hmm?

This guy has the best cuts from Texas,

and my favorite, Kobe from Japan.

Do you know what makes Kobe beef superior

from the rest of the world?

Sake.

The way they treat the cow.

They feed them high-quality beer and they massage them every day.

It's a great philosophy.

Hmm?

Pamper the herd, and it will spoil you back.

So if you need any pampering, please don't hesitate to ask.

All the way to the slaughter house, right?

You know, Simon,

last time we had a blackout in the city,

you know who was responsible for it?

It was your friend, it was your friend the professor.

I'm sorry about that.

That's a pretty dangerous device, no?

It's not; I can fix it.

It's not supposed to turn the lights off.

It's supposed to turn them on.

Yes, yes, of course, of course, of course, of course.

You know, Simon, I maybe know somebody interested to buy it.

Hmm?

It makes you a lot of money.

You can help the poor people in Mexico.

It's a win-win.

It sounds nice, uh, but it's not--it's not for sale.

It's Harold's.

Mm, I will talk to Harold.

We both want the same thing, Simon.

But in the meantime, I want it back.

Excuse me?

You're gonna finish your work on the device

and just return it to town.

Why would I do that when it doesn't belong to the town?

Professor Vasquez's murder is under investigation,

and that device is the only evidence we have.

Where were you that night?

You sure you don't want to eat?

It's a good steak.

I think we're done here.

We've just begun, muchacho.

If I can fix the component and find the right frequency,

then I can get this working

by the time Enrique tries to confiscate it.

Just try not to ruffle Enrique's feathers too much,

will you?

Yeah, well, tell him to stop ruffling mine.

He's been ruffling your feathers

ever since you found out he's with Sofia.

I'm gonna pick up some things from the market.

See you in a bit.

Hola.

Hola.

Este es mi amigo Simon.

Got one of these?

He wants to know what happened to it.

Why?

Listen, do you want his help?

My girlfriend fried it with her hair dryer.

Tell him I'm kidding.

He wants you to give him--

I know what he wants; I don't have it.

Sorry.

He wants you to take him-- take him where the device is.

You want it, it's right here.

It's right there.

There you go.

That's it.

Okay, he really wants it.

He wants you to take him to where it is.

You want me to take you where it is?

Yes.

Take him.

All right, all right.

Follow me.

Here it is.

Agh!

Agh!

Harold?

Harold?

Get in! Get in!

Who's that?

Ándale! Ándale!

Agggh!

Give him your shirt.

Harold?

Hello, Simon.

My name is Clara.

Why would you bring her here?

What choice did I have?

I was stuck between a gun and a hard place.

What if she poisons Harold?

Why would she poison Harold?

Ah-ah-agh!

Shh, shh, shh.

It's okay, it's okay.

I brought the cayenne peppers you asked for.

Cayenne pepper?

How are you feeling?

Like I've been shot at and hit.

Simon, you need to finish that device.

Don't worry about the device.

You just need to focus on feeling better, okay?

Good thing the bullet isn't lodged.

Yeah, good thing.

This will sting a bit.

Agh! Agh!

So you are a witch doctor.

Juan.

I pray to the same God as you, child.

And I study the same science as doctors.

Cayenne pepper will clog this wound within ten seconds.

He'll be fine.

He just needs to drink plenty of water.

Oh, now--now my head is throbbing.

What should I get him?

Tylenol.

Well, that's the last one.

Looks like I'm ready for El Paso.

Listen, when I get back to the U.S.,

I'll bring you back a new part for your fried component.

Gracias.

You got it, amigo.

And I'll try to figure out what Juan 812 means.

You do that.

Adios.

Hasta luego.

Hey.

Come in.

I need to give you something...

from your professor.

We were very close.

Engaged to be married.

You were engaged?

His key.

I miss him so much.

Yeah, me too.

He was hurt, but he never stopped loving you.

Months ago he knew something bad was about to happen,

that he might be killed,

so he reached out to you one final time,

praying you would come.

Do you know what's going on?

Do you know who's behind this?

Do you know what this Juan 812 is?

Oh, Armando was always very secretive.

I must be going.

Trust no one.

Goodbye, Simon.

Did she give you something?

Hmm-mm.

Simon, I don't trust her.

It's kind of a reoccurring theme with you, isn't it?

You don't trust her, you don't trust me.

Since you have arrived,

a lot of bad things have happened.

Well, that's hardly fair.

You arrive under violent circumstances,

with no story and no past.

So you don't trust me?

No, I trust you.

And Harold trusts you.

And Pedro trusts you,

and my brother's a very good judge of character.

He is. Mm-hmm.

He really is.

Well, thank you.

I like you, too.

I said trust, not like.

Yeah, but you like me a little bit.

Mm.

You like me a little bit.

This little machine, then, if it was so important,

why didn't you just mail it to the professor?

Why did you come all the way to Mexico?

Because I needed something.

What?

It doesn't matter.

Can't get it anymore.

Good night, Simon.

>> Francisco.

Jose...

Pedro, what's going on?

How could you do this?

What?

Who assembled these lanterns?

You put this whole orphanage-- don't touch me!

What?

You put this whole orphanage in--

Who assembled these lanterns?

What are you talking about?

Who assembled these lanterns?

I did... Why?

Enrique, what is happening

We're so lucky we got tipped off

before Pedro crossed the border.

That's why you came down here, Simon?

No, I didn't do that.

I did not--hey, I did not put-- I did not put that in there.

Using us to smuggle drugs?

Sofia, I did not put that in there!

Just say the truth once.

Why don't you tell everybody why you came down here.

It's the same reason--

Harold.

It's the same reason you went to prison.

Prison?

Tell 'em that!

I didn't put that in there.

Harold, I've been meaning to talk to you about this.

Do you know what we found

when we did his background check on his passport?

He's not even supposed to leave the United States.

Harold, you have to trust me, okay?

The same way the professor trusted you,

and the poor professor, what you did to him?

What you did to him, Simon?

Tell them.

Harold, do you know why Professor Vasquez left MIT?

Simon?

Go ahead, go ahead.

Tell 'em, tell 'em.

I didn't put that in there.

Tell them why Professor Vasquez left MIT.

Are you gonna answer his question?

What about the professor?

I set him up.

Yes, he set him up.

Vámonos.

Vámonos, vámonos, vámonos, vámonos.

I use it for everything.

My house, my office.

I want you to have it.

Mi casa es su casa.

Don't worry, I have the original.

Hey, Simon, I'm sorry about your parents.

Simon.

Harold, what are you doing?

You want to tell me what happened.

I didn't do it.

Well, I believe you.

But it doesn't matter, I'd be here anyway.

What went on with you and Vasquez?

When I was 16, my parents died and Vasquez took me in.

I had been doing dual enrollment at MIT since I was 14,

and I eventually became his understudy, and that--

that's where the device came from.

He trusted me.

Gave me the key to his life.

This was his.

I had a copy,

but I threw it away when I got busted.

Busted for what?

Um, when I found out that I could control electronic signals

with the device, I...

used it to block out the security system,

the cameras, and the alarms at the chemistry department...

where they kept a large supply of sodium hydroxide.

The methamphetamine?

Yeah.

I had this brilliant idea

to sell it to a student that I knew was cooking it.

It was stupid.

I got busted...

and I got scared.

When the cops questioned me, I lied and blamed it on Vasquez.

And then he got fired and deported,

and I ruined his life.

How did you get Vasquez's original key?

When I got out of jail, there was a letter.

He asked me to come help him.

And inside...

was the key.

And that's how I ended up here.

I just wanted him to know that I was sorry.

Harold, it's time.

Well, I have to go,

but I just wanted you to know that I was here for you,

I don't care what you've done.

And, uh, since it looks like you might have a little free time

on your hands...

You really want me to read that book, don't you?

And, um...

and this is the Book it's based on.

We'll have you out of here before long.

Gracias.

"Simon, I sincerely hope

"that you never read this letter.

"It means that my paranoid delusions

"have come true and the worst has occurred.

"Regardless, I need you to know that I forgive you.

"There are some very bad people who want to use this device

"for the wrong reasons.

"I disassembled it so they can't use it,

"but you can figure it out.

"Use the key to open your world.

"I love you always--

Juan 8:12."

"When Jesus spoke again to the people,

He said, 'I am the light of the world.

Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness,

but will have the light of life.'"

John 8:12.

Harold, how long have you been out here?

Are you spying on me here?

I guess I would have been, Enrique,

if I understood Spanish better, but I just heard a voice.

Oh, what's going on?

You borrow something?

Hmm.

Simon didn't tell you?

No, Simon didn't tell me.

Well, after the blackout in town,

I told him that I wanted it back.

This thing is clearly more dangerous

than what we thought, Harold.

We don't want it to fall to the wrong hands, do we?

No, we sure do not.

It's too bad you can't make it to my fundraiser

tomorrow morning.

I'll pray for you,

that you're gonna feel better, Harold.

We need you here.

Well, you have a good night.

Señoras y señores...

My philosophy,

let's fill up schools and university, not orphanages.

My good friend Harold said once,

give a child one opportunity for education,

and he will give--

he--

he used to say--

Harold, what a surprise.

Harold Finch himself came to our church,

so please welcome Harold Finch.

Muchas gracias.

Perdón, voy a hablar Inglés.

I understand Spanish much better than I speak it,

but I will be very brief and direct to you today.

Corruption is a cancer that slowly but surely destroys.

It can destroy a community's standard of living.

It can destroy the job market.

And, friends, I must say to you

that corruption has a death grip on our town.

But...there is a cure.

That cure is honesty and integrity.

But it must start from the top.

We are here in front of St. Mary's beautiful church.

Therefore, I would like to--to close

with a few words of prayer.

If you will join me in that prayer.

Dear God, we pray that You give us leaders

who will live up to Your standards.

And we also pray, heavenly Father,

that those leaders who will not or cannot do so

be cut down and stripped of their power.

We pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Gracias!

Thank you.

Harold Finch!

You know what that means, right?

I answer to God alone.

I can arrange that.

Harold Finch, ladies and gentlemen.

Harold Finch.

Together we're gonna clean our streets!

And remove ourselves of corruption.

Anyone who stands in our way

will be treated as the enemy of Mexico.

Viva México!

Viva la libertad!

Together we'll prevail by the grace of God.

Oh, Simon, I'm so sorry.

You don't belong here.

I know you had nothing to do with the drugs.

I should have believed you.

I...

should have came clean about my past earlier.

It doesn't matter now.

Some very bad things have happened today.

What do you mean "bad"?

Enrique, he lied to us all.

He put Harold under house arrest.

The children, he's taken all of them.

What do you mean he's taken all the children?

He's working with El Noche.

He's using them to get elected.

Harold overheard everything.

He's going to meet with him tonight.

He wants to show them the device.

It will be two hours without any power along the border,

so they can take their drugs in and out as they will.

You've got to stop them.

We have to stop them.

That's why I'm gonna help you escape.

Shh.

Don't worry about Martinez.

The reason she likes orphans so much

is because she used to be one.

Now, listen carefully, Loco.

At exactly 3:00 p.m.,

a guard will come by and slide you your meal.

Underneath the cup you will find a pill.

What's the pill do?

It will help you escape.

I will create a distraction.

Buenos dias, señor!

When you get to the medical room...

you will find a gift.

Yo soy!

Pedro, man!

Ha-ha-ha!

Muchas Gracias.

We need to stop meeting like this.

A gift from Pedro.

Gracias.

Where to?

Vasquez's house.

Be quick.

I need to look for something in the closet.

Simon, you're so simple.

You see, I knew I'm gonna find you here.

Yeah, you're pretty simple yourself.

Oh, yeah?

I think so.

Why don't you enlighten me, punk?

You want me to enlighten you?

Yeah.

Well, for starters, I know that you killed Vasquez.

That was easy.

Next?

Hacked into his e-mail.

That's how you found out about me.

Sent this guy over here, Huggy Bear,

who welcomed me at the border.

Luckily for you, he sucks at his job.

Shh.

You have the device, but it doesn't work.

That's where I come in, right?

When Dr. Vasquez disactivated the device,

I lost hope.

But then God brought you to me as a miracle to fix the device.

And you did fix it.

You continued Vasquez's work.

The way that I figure it out,

it turns out to be that you brought some component.

And I need you to fix it.

No.

So you're not afraid to die?

Wow.

Looks like Harold's religion got to you.

But, if Carlos' 9-millimeter's insufficient reason enough...

How about Harold?

Nah, Harold is too old.

He'll die fast.

Oh...

Sofia.

Mm, you wouldn't.

Vámonos!

We've got a border to shut down.

Let's go, wrap him up.

Vámonos aquí, ahora.

El Noche is gonna be here in one hour.

That means he want to see what that device is gonna do.

How about some light?

Sweetie, there's no power here.

All right?

So let's not get spoiled, and go to work.

Ándale.

Do you really need this tuner

to make this device work?

Do you want the lights on, or do you want the lights off?

All right, buddy, this is show time.

You better behave yourself.

Bienvenidos, El Noche.

Who is the gringo?

El gringo, Señor El Noche, se llama Simon Orwell.

Let's just call him a helpful scientist.

This place is a graveyard

of those who have tried to be helpful.

Not far from here is the U.S. border.

If you can cut its power, it will be helpful.

If not, you will have wasted my time.

I consider that...

not very helpful.

Well, Governor, should we get started?

Rico!

I don't need to tell you what is at stake here, right?

I think he was pretty clear.

Carlos...

Sí!

Bien, muy bien, muy bien.

Muy bien, muy bien.

Oh!

Federales!

Agh!

Adios, Simon.

Aghh!

The small border town of Tialingua

was rocked by scandal two months ago

when it was revealed that

one of the biggest drug busts in history's ringleader

was none other than their mayor, Enrique De Angelo.

But now they may be known for something else.

Sol Energy Enterprises has announced the acquisition

of a revolutionary new device promising to provide

free unlimited energy.

And, remarkably, the birthplace of this device:

an orphanage in Tialingua.

The prototype was created by an MIT dropout

named Simon Orwell

and his professor, the late Armando Vasquez.

Mr. Orwell says he plans to donate all of his proceeds

to orphanages around the world.

And we'll have much more on that coming up.

Ah, Loco.

Pretty amazing we got a signal all the way from El Paso.

Can I borrow you for a moment?

Hola?

Oh, Dr. Harold.

Niños, say hi to Dr. Harold.

Hi, Dr. Harold!

So, how's the Philippines?

Yeah, things are great.

I think we found the spot for our next orphanage.

That's so great to hear, such good news.

It's great to see a man that practices what he preaches.

It means that I'm gonna have to be gone for a while,

so I guess now is as good a time as any.

For what?

Well, for you to take over the orphanage.

Pedro?

Oh, thank you so much, Dr. Harold!

You've earned it, Pedro.

Submit your ways to the Lord, and your plans will be achieved.

Oh, Dr. Harold, this is so exciting!

How is Simon?

Simon's good.

Already working on his third goal.

Oh, you must mean your sister.

I think unlimited power is easier than Sofia.

I think you're right.

Ah, but, you know,

the more impossible, the bigger the blessing.

Something came for you.

No way.

Well, that takes care of two-- two of the three.

Two of the three?

Harold's three goals.

I was wondering if maybe you could help me out

with this third one, though.

Yeah?

Wanna play?

Wanna lose?
