"Table on the left." "You good?" "I'm good." "You need to come with me." "Carter!" "What did you do?" "Why did you shoot Henry?" "I don't remember." "I don't remember anything." "Be reasonable, Carter." "I went back to check some of my own personnel files, and they'd been classified." "I mean, they're my files." "It's not my fault that there are things about yourself that you're just not cleared to know." "Yeah, I'd hate to stumble across something that if I told me, I'd have to kill me." "Right?" "What's next?" "They going to classify the contents of my fridge, my underwear drawer?" "You think agents of a foreign government would be after your underwear?" "Maybe." "I can pretty up when I want to." "Jack, come here." "I want you to meet two of my oldest friends." "Kim, this is the new Sheriff, Jack Carter." "Good to meet you." "Good to meet you." "And the man himself, Jason Anderson." "Hey." "A pleasure, Sheriff." "Good to meet you." "Morning." "Hi." "SARAH, coffee, black." "Parental override initiated." "Decaffeinated tea for Zoe." "Oh, come on." "I was up all night reading Shakespeare." "Uh-huh." "You're really into that school play, huh?" "Yeah." "You know..." "I think drama club is really helping me find myself emotionally." "I feel like I'm really starting to fit in." "How many classes you get to skip for rehearsal?" "Last period every day." "Including geometry." "Love drama." "That's what I thought." "Do you remember my school plays when I was a kid?" "Mmm-hmm." "Remember third grade, Parade of Nutrition?" "You remember my cucumber outfit?" "Mmm-hmm." "Do you?" "Yes." "Zoe, you were the cutest cucumber in the garden." "I was a tomato, actually." "Oh, yeah." "You weren't at Parade of Nutrition." "I knew you were a vegetable." "In fact, you weren't at anything I ever did." "Come on, it's not like you did anything in those plays." "You just sort of sat there looking..." "I sat there looking..." "Come on, Zoe." "Work was crazy back then." "But it's different here." "There's a visitor at the door." "It is different." "Mmm-hmm." "It is." "Mmm-hmm." "Alert." "There's a visitor at the door." "Nobody there, SARAH." "All right, don't tune me out with the newspaper." "I invented tuning out with the newspaper." "Forget I said anything." "Alert." "There's a visitor at the door." "Hey." "SARAH, there's nobody at the door!" "Hello, Sheriff." "I'm Putnam." "I go to Zoe's school." "Theatrical Director?" "What are you, like, 11?" "He's a senior." "Twelve, actually." "Put it in gear, lamb chop, I wanna run through Act One before first period." "Space is time, time is relative, and all of it's money." "I gotta grab my costume from Vincent after school and then I have rehearsal until 6:00." "You asked Vincent to make your costume?" "Sir, you should know, your daughter's an incredible talent." "Her audition, she was blackbody radiation in 1901." "Changed the paradigm." "Let's roll." "Oh, yeah, and a tomato is a fruit." "Hey." "Table food has always been community property." "Uh-uh!" "You remember Thailand?" "It is good to have you back." "Stealing my breakfast." "Well, don't get used to it." "We finish this project for Stark, we're off to Geneva." "Oh, no." "I know." "I know." "I know." "But Jason doesn't like staying anyplace for too long." "And he does his best work on the road." "Well, you can't argue with results." "Hey, listen, Jason would never ask, but we could use your help on this one." "What?" "The Wonder Twins do not need my help." "We do." "We're stuck, and Stark's already scheduled a D.O.D. field test." "Come on, it'll be fun." "Like those all-nighters we used to pull at JPL." "All right." "All right." "Ta-da!" "Fetching." "I thought Zoe was picking this up." "Yeah, I'm saving her the trip." "Be careful with the tentacles." "I thought they were doing Shakespeare." "Putnam's re-imagining it." "He's..." "He's a visionary." "And I thought he was just annoying." "None of the white stuff, right?" "Hey, hands off the wife." "I was just recruiting him to help us out on the body armor." "Ah, just like old times." "Yeah." "Speaking of which..." "Yeah." "See you there?" "Yes." "Henry, I gotta fly before Stark has an aneurysm because we're being way overpaid to pinch-hit on this project." "But listen, if you can help us crack it, there's a very expensive bottle of Scotch in it for you." "A very expensive bottle of Scotch." "Done." "Excuse me." "I don't mean to be a hardass, but blocking a police vehicle, not a very good idea." "My apologies, Sheriff." "I'll get right on it." "All right." "Nice costume." "Healthy ego on your buddy." "Oh, yeah." "Jason has more patents than the Fortune 500 combined." "Universities throw grants at him just to rub up against their blackboards." "What about his wife?" "Amazing." "Amazing scientist." "No, I meant, what about his wife and you?" "I saw you talking." "We're friends." "Uh-huh." "Uh-huh." "When weren't you friends?" "Come on, man, it's obvious." "Long time ago." "We worked together for years." "And..." "I was best man at their wedding and the rest is ancient history." "I'll catch you later." "Kinetic absorption complete." "The protective energy conversion field is holding." "Napalm." "There's a breakdown when the protective field tries to cross-convert thermal and kinetic energy." "That's exactly right." "The Army was promised indestructible force field body armor based on your preliminary designs." "Field demonstration's tomorrow." "Even without the fix, this still could save thousands of lives." "Not just soldiers." "Police, firemen..." "The goal is to allow 12 men to be able to clear out an entire insurgent stronghold." "Army's all stocked up on insurgent strongholds right now." "You get paid to produce results." "I get paid regardless." "Field test is tomorrow." "I know you won't let me down." "I'm going for a drive, clear my head." "We can adjust the feedback loop." "Just..." "I haven't failed in 15 years." "I'm not going to start now." "So, who's gonna make the coffee?" "All right, insert tab epsilon into slot gamma." "Okay." "Who writes instructions with Greek letters, anyway?" "Greeks?" "I thought they were doing Shakespeare." "A Midsummer Night's Dream." "Putnam changed it." "Putnam." "The kid's a visionary." "Yeah, well, I think he has a crush on Zoe." "It's cute." "It's all very normal." "Normal is good." "Normal's very good, the more the better." "My mom used to make my costumes." "You used to do theater?" "Believe it or not, Carter, I didn't have childhood dreams of becoming a commando." "So you went from being told to break a leg, to actually breaking them." "Enjoying yourself?" "Yeah." "But I gotta get this to Zoe before rehearsal." "Trying to score some points." "Tell her to break a leg for me." "Thanks." "Yes." "Approaching car, 60 miles per hour." "What do we have here?" "Sheriff, Dr. Anderson is under a great deal of stress." "We're in a dynamic therapy session." "I'll bet you are." "This isn't what you think, Sheriff." "My concern about this is that you're doing 60 in a 30-mile-an-hour zone." "Then why don't you just write me a ticket?" "That's exactly what I'm gonna do." "I just..." "I gotta get my ticket book." "What are you waiting for?" "Hey!" "Get back in the car." "I'm sorry, Sheriff, we can't be seen together." "Well, you can get right on your way just as soon as I..." "Got it." "Right." "Now, back in your car." "Get back in yours." "Are we gonna have a problem?" "Looks that way." "Yeah." "Jo, this is Carter." "We're gonna need some backup on Old Post Road, somebody's in a lot of trouble." "Be right there." "Over." "Where's the perp?" "You called me." "Why did you call me?" "I can't remember." "What do you got?" "You forgot the Hamiltonian." "No, I didn't, just keep going." "I got it." "All right." "So the electrodynamics work." "The force field works." "We just can't finish the algorithm for the software to run the conversion." "Mmm-hmm." "You know what?" "It's time for more coffee." "Dive in." "There's no point." "Jason will solve it again." "You'll see." "Oh, come on, we can crack this." "I've seen it a million times, Henry." "It's his gift." "He'll just take it all in and he just sees the answer." "It's amazing." "You don't sound amazed." "Well, sometimes playing second fiddle can be a little tiring." "You are not second to anything." "You and I can solve this." "Together." "Okay." "I didn't go for that long a drive." "We pulled up all the research." "I double-checked..." "You got the force vectors." "Well, Henry got the force vectors." "That funky Russian math you use is like a fingerprint." "All right." "T. That is it." "It works." "You son of a..." "You saved us again." "You and Henry laid it all out." "You solved the force field problem." "I couldn't have done it without you." "Look, my dad took my costume for reasons I can't imagine, and I don't know where he is." "Zoe, no, you don't have your costume, you can't rehearse." "I must see my vision." "Puck!" "Where's my Puck?" "I'm gonna kill my father." "Speak!" "If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all..." "Is mended." "Putnam, I can't do study hall." "Think but this, and all is mended." "That you have but..." "That you have but slumbered here." "Slumbered here, okay?" "Sorry, Zoe." "I can't break the rules for you." "People will talk about us." "Dad." "Now, the jetpack." "Note to self:" "Adjust the fuel mix in the jetpack." "Find new Puck." "What fools these mortals be." "It's called a senior moment." "Soon you'll be driving, just that one right blinker going nonstop." "No." "I mean, I..." "I took my ticket book out of the car for a reason." "I need Henry." "Was this on the way to or from Zoe's school?" "Oh, no." "She's gonna kill me." "She's right to kill me." "Hey, Jack..." "Henry, I wanted to ask you about losing time." "...have you gotten any reports on anybody who's lost time?" "So 10 minutes?" "Maybe more." "I was at Global Dynamics, so it could be Section Five." "No." "No, I was out by the farm." "I must have called Jo." "We digitize all the audio, including the radio calls." "Time code says you called me two minutes before I got there." "Jo, it's Carter." "I need some backup on Old Post Road, somebody's in a lot of trouble." "Wow." "I don't remember saying that." "But I must have pulled someone over." "The ticket's gone." "Carbon's missing, too." "Well, I can put that under a UV scope." "It'll high..." "Or you could just draw over it." "Same thing." "Okay." "First four of the plate are N-I-D-5." "Are you serious?" "NID-563." "I passed that car on the way out to see you." "And Jason was there when I lost time." "Table on the left." "You good?" "I'm good." "You need to come with me." "Carter!" "What did you do?" "Why did you shoot Henry?" "I didn't." "I don't remember." "I don't remember anything." "Sorry, Carter, I have to keep your badge and gun." "No." "No." "Whatever happened, it wasn't Jack's fault." "There's no way I could intentionally hurt Henry." "Protocol for discharge of a weapon, injuring a civilian..." "And what does your protocol say about the fact that nobody, absolutely nobody, remembers what happened?" "I've got nothing, and all the café witnesses are fuzzy." "Last thing I remember I was in my office." "Allison, we have to figure this thing out." "I'm sorry, Carter." "SARAH, door." "Sheriff." "Down in front, please." "What?" "Up and down, up and down." "I will bring them up and down." "I am feared in field and town." "Goblin lead them up and down." "Here comes one now." "I know I've been forgetting a lot of stuff today, but I know this is my living room." "Shh!" "Rehearsal in progress." "Sorry." "I was just checking her blocking." "Oh, crap." "I have your costume in my car." "Yeah, luckily for you, I don't need it, because I have a new part with a new costume." "I was trying to help." "I know." "Just don't ever do it again." "What?" "That's not fair." "Uh-uh." "Promise." "Putnam, put this on tape." "Aw, come on." "Okay." "I promise." "Clever little set-up." "That's a holographic generator I invented." "Theater's about creating illusion." "The device helps me realize the vision." "Zoe, take it from where Puck arrives." "With Oberon?" "Right, and Puck uses his magic to make Titania and Bottom wake from their spell." "Okay." "Now, when thou wakest, with thine own fool's eyes peep." "Did you wish to add something?" "No." "Putnam, you're a genius." "SARAH, door." "True." "Putnam, can I offer a few small notes?" "Everybody's a critic." "Spring-cleaning?" "Somebody's done something to us." "We just don't know what." "He can make us not see, or move through time, or just blank out." "Okay." "We all forgot, all of us?" "I mean, Henry gets shot and no one saw anything?" "Come on, Jo." "We're being Pucked with." "Your argument is so strong." "It's almost petty of me to ask, "How?"" "He's got a thing." "A thing?" "Yeah, a gizmo." "A device." "Has to be a device." "Do you have a piece of device-oriented evidence?" "No, but look." "What's my ticket book doing there?" "It's gathering dust." "That's right." "I always have it in my car." "In the trunk, on the floor." "And yet, here it is." "I remember doing that." "Okay, this is weird." "Okay, big one for you." "Hey, you okay?" "Yeah." "Just..." "Just thinking." "Well, less thinking and more eating." "I mean, Vincent gave us way too much." "You know how much I love tandoori." "Mmm-hmm." "Hey, how are you really feeling?" "Better now." "What?" "This is weirder." "Jason Anderson." "What if Jason was at Café Diem, that's why we were there?" "We can't prove that." "Vincent." "Check the receipts." "See if Vincent made a meal for Jason today." "Okay." "And where are you gonna go?" "I got to go see a guy about a thing." "Device." "Gizmo." "Just..." "But there's something else we have to do first." "I heard they suspended the Sheriff." "It's not his fault what happened." "What did happen?" "I'm not really sure." "I have this blank spot that I just cannot fill in." "I know the feeling." "What happened before with us?" "I've been trying to remember." "Did you say something, or did I?" "Look, if we were meant to be together, you wouldn't have wound up with Jason." "Whatever it was, an argument, a sulk that went on too long," "I'm just..." "I'm just grateful that we were able to salvage our friendship." "Did we ever even kiss?" "Couldn't have been that great a kiss if you have to ask." "I thought you were suspended." "You worried to see me?" "You shot my friend, so yes." "I figured it all out." "I know what you're up to." "In regards to?" "I know you have a device that can create a wormhole, or bend time or make you invisible." "A wormholing, time-bending, invisibling device that shields you from the mind." "Yes." "He said invisibling." "No!" "Carter!" "You're already under suspension." "Carter!" "Stop it!" "Why are you doing this?" "There." "That's the device that invades your mind." "It also starts my car." "Okay, just let go of him." "Get out of here while you can." "Go!" "What does he have to do to get fired, shoot another innocent person?" "Good question." "Allison?" "Okay, you guys do your job." "I'll do mine." "Carter!" "It's a little unorthodox, but I've dealt with worse." "How are you so strong?" "I'm small, but I'm scrappy." "I don't need therapy." "Maybe not, but if it keeps you away from Jason Anderson until after the D.O.D. test this afternoon, consider it time well spent." "Fifty minutes." "Not a second less." "Okay." "Come on, Jo." "Oh, that's not my call, Carter." "I'll be at Café Diem if you need anything." "Well, I've had resistant patients, but you've set a new benchmark." "I don't have time for this." "I understand Henry's doing well?" "Well, yeah, aside from the bullet hole, yeah, he's doing great." "How do you feel about what happened?" "I don't know what happened." "I mean, I was trying to find out, but I can't do that from in here." "Sheriff..." "Beverly, no offense, I really, really don't want to do this." "I get that." "Okay." "But since we're both here, we might as well talk about something." "I mean, who knows, I might even be helpful if you let me." "Okay." "All right." "Do you know any way that someone could make people forget things?" "Hypnotherapy could potentially be used to trigger memory loss." "No." "Nobody could hypnotize me that fast." "And it wasn't just me, it was everybody at Café Diem." "You'd be surprised what the true masters can do." "Do you know Jason Anderson?" "I've met him in passing." "Yeah." "He and Henry go way back." "I don't trust him." "Do you trust Henry?" "Of course." "Then shouldn't you trust Henry's opinion of Dr. Anderson?" "I don't even know his opinion of Dr. Anderson." "I should ask him." "That's not exactly where I was driving." "Well, but we all get different things from therapy, right?" "I mean, I need to see Henry, that would help me in my processing." "That's what you'd recommend, right?" "Under normal circumstances, yes, but..." "Great." "So, I can go?" "Absolutely." "In 46 minutes." "Oh." "Don't wander off too far." "The test is in a couple of hours." "Not to mention, that crazy sheriff is still out there." "He does seem fixated on you." "Yeah, well, he's just trying to deflect his guilt over shooting Henry." "Do you think he intentionally shot Henry?" "Doesn't everyone?" "I mean, Kim, come on, they found this nut job standing over our friend with a smoking gun." "How else do you explain that?" "I don't know." "There seem to be an awful lot of things around here lately that require an explanation." "Solve it again." "What?" "Looking at it, I know I can do it." "I can solve it." "But I want to watch you do it again." "What did you do?" "Come in here, bring in some coffee, see that Henry and I already solved the problem?" "Erase the board, erase us, and stroll back in here like it was the first time?" "Looking for this?" "Something is going on." "There's just too many weird coincidences for this to be just about you losing it." "Last night I had a theory about your buddy, Jason." "Jason?" "Yeah, like..." "That he had a device of some kind." "Oh, that at least narrows it down." "Oh, don't you start up." "You know, a device that could, like, erase short bursts of time, or how we perceive them." "Almost like he can make us forget all about him." "What?" "Not just about him." "He can make us forget about whatever he wants." "And that's not crazy?" "Not at all." "Jason..." "Jason Anderson has a machine that can wipe out short-term memory." "How can you be so sure?" "Because I built it 20 years ago." "I had a theory that a properly modulated EM burst could change the electrical properties of your brain cells." "Unbind short-term memory before they can imprint as long-term memory." "So you have one, too?" "No." "While I was developing it, with Jason, I could never get a single test to work." "Not one that you remember, anyway." "Now I know what the son of a bitch has been up to." "Jo, this is Carter." "Look, I may need that backup we talked about." "Meet me in the Global Dynamics lobby." "You're not storming into a test session with one of the Joint Chiefs." "Jason Anderson has a..." "A device." "A device." "Oh, great." "You, too?" "He can erase short-term memory." "Why would he do that?" "Pull Kim's personnel files, and Jason's." "All the records back to college." "That'll show us why." "Make sure those are armored piercing rounds." "I want the works." "You sure about this?" "We tested the force field six times." "Pentagon sees this, they're gonna jam us into production right away." "Good for us, good for Global Dynamics." "And whose insane idea was this?" "I don't remember." "We were talking..." "I think it was mine." "Must be." "Kim is far too sensible to try something like this." "Good luck." "Here." "Here." "Here." "Oh, and look, here." "All of Jason's breakthroughs were fields Kim pioneered." "This is Jason Anderson we're talking about here." "This is your friend, Henry." "I thought he was." "But Kim's the real genius." "He's been stealing her work for decades." "What about all the other research projects he's helped on?" "Wait for the team to make the breakthrough and then wipe them out." "Cover your tracks and then ride in and save the day." "This is monstrous." "Twenty minutes at a time." "How many times do you think?" "Kim..." "Add it up, Henry." "He took a lot more than 20 minutes of my memory." "He took my life." "I know." "We'll make this right, Kim." "I already have." "No." "Carter, what are you doing here?" "You're under suspension." "We had a..." "It was..." "It was important." "You might want to put these on, sir." "Clear the area for live ammo test." "Okay, would love to stay here and play with you two all day, but I have work to do." "Jo?" "You have no idea why I'm here, do you?" "Wow." "What..." "Hidden camera." "Saw the whole thing." "Initiate test on my mark." "Three, two, one." "Stop!" "Don't." "Kim, wait." "Don't." "Please." "I am leaving." "I can run and you won't even know why you should chase me." "You haven't run away from anything in your life." "How do you know?" "I don't..." "I don't know anything anymore." "Maybe I cheated on him." "How many times did I catch Jason cheating on me and he made it all better?" "No." "Maybe I left him." "How many times did I tell Jason" "I'm leaving, and I walk out that door and boom, none of it happened?" "Whatever he took from you, from everybody, is unforgivable." "But you cannot kill him for it." "Henry, what did he take from you?" "Why can't we remember if we ever even kissed?" "Remember our biggest fight?" "Remember when you told Jason it was okay to ask me out?" "Do you?" "More than 20 years ago." "I..." "We had to move on." "I had to." "Henry, if he stole us..." "Stark, what's going on?" "Someone's about to lose their job." "Nathan, there's something you should know." "Sheriff, you're standing in the way of science." "Jason, the camera never lies." "My daughter taught me that." "I had Jo rig me up with this digital video, and we just finished watching the surveillance feed." "We know about your memory wiper, which is a device that Henry built and you stole." "A memory wiper." "Stark, are you listening to this?" "Can you have this maniac hauled off?" "I outsmarted you." "Now I know you're hallucinating." "Activate the damn test." "I'll get that." "Okay, fair enough." "I mean, you're 100% certain that you're smarter than me." "Are you smarter than Kim?" "I mean, she's the one that programmed your very fancy little vest." "I double-checked the algorithms." "Sure, and if Jason Anderson is the genius everybody says he is, then there's no way you're in any danger." "But, if Kim's the real genius, then you have no way of knowing if she sabotaged that vest." "But, if you're smarter than her, then there's no way she could have figured it out." "If she had a problem, she would have said something." "Maybe she did, and you just don't remember it." "There's no way she'd play you, right?" "I mean, you're Jason Anderson." "You're the genius, not her." "So let's fire this puppy up." "No!" "No!" "I think it's time for you to go, Jason." "Stark, come on." "Cash that check quick." "It's the last one you're gonna see." "General." "Yes, sir." "How could you do this?" "I just wanted what you had." "You and Henry." "Look, I did what I had to do but I gave you a good life." "No." "You took it." "What can I say, Henry?" "I'm sorry." "If I hadn't come when I did..." "He would have been fine." "Even though you stole my life, I couldn't take yours." "The vest works." "I just turned down the power so you'd get banged up a bit." "Is that right?" "Even I saw that one coming." "Henry." "Hey." "I thought maybe you'd changed your mind." "No, I had some thinking to do." "Sure." "You know, a lot's happened." "If you don't wanna do this, I understand." "Stark offered me a position at G.D." "Oh." "Oh." "Yeah." "So I'd stay here in..." "Are you..." "Considering it?" "Yeah." "Well, that's good." "Ah, well, for the town." "I mean, you know, no question you'd be an asset." "I remember that." "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats." "A Midsummer Night's Invasion is about to begin." "Where are my cybernetic faeries?" "Faeries, assemble." "Excuse me." "Yeah." "The backstage is for..." "Two seconds, two seconds." "Hey." "These are for you." "Dad?" "I'm psyching up." "I know." "I just wanted you to know that I'm here, this time." "You're gonna be great." "Break a leg." "Thanks, Dad." "If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended, that you have but slumbered here and these visions did appear." "And, as I am an honest Puck, if we have unearned luck, now to escape the serpent's tongue, we will make amends ere long." "Else the Puck a liar call, so, good night unto you all." "Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends!" "Oh, she was amazing." "And her costume is terrific." "Oh, my God, all the drama they put us through as parents, and these are the moments we're gonna remember the most." "If we're lucky."
