Time Trap

- Hm? -

Let's go.

So what are we doing here?

Well, my grandfather used to tell me,

the future can give you anything you want.

Come on. What are you doing?

What are you doing?

If we wait long enough, the future will create it.

Maybe through technology,

or maybe just from making you not want it anymore.

Either way, the answer is in the future.

What's wrong, Boss? Come on.

You wanna go back to obedience school?

Yeah.

I didn't think so.

What's in it, Boss?

Oh.

- - Boss!

Hello?

Hello...

Boss, let's go.

Jackie.

- Professor Hopper here. - Hey!

You didn't get shot by any hunters. Awesome.

So I found the van.

No sign of the hippies. Uh...

Listen, I need you to put a climbing pack together for me.

- Oh, really? - But you can't tell Taylor.

If he finds out I'm doing an expedition

without him, he'll get upset.

It's better this way.

Do you want her to have, like,

10,000 of your babies?

It's like you're 13.

- Yeah. - Just shut your mouth.

You shut your mouth...

Tay-Tay. Best friend, buddy.

- Pal... -

Oh, hi, Jackie.

And... Taylor.

Did he really say not to tell me?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, the whole point of the favor was discretion.

- Come on, Boss. Come on. - Here, Boss.

Sorry.

I had a teeny-tiny car issue so Taylor had to drive.

Besides, he wanted to help.

So you saw it?

You saw the van? When do we go?

I appreciate you setting this up on such short notice...

- No problemo. - I appreciate your offer.

Taylor did all the hard work.

Situation's changed. I'm going alone.

- All righty. - Who's gonna watch your back?

Boss, of course.

I'm serious.

Nobody's been on this land in decades.

You guys don't have anything to worry about.

- It's gonna be fine. - Perfect.

Then we'll be back in no time, right?

I'm going alone.

You guys will be fine without me for a couple of days. Okay?

If you're worried about your evaluations,

which you should be, they've already been submitted.

And they're glowing.

If you can believe that. Even yours.

Oh, look! Twinsies.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Gotta get up early.

You really think you're gonna find them?

Maybe. But if I really get lucky,

I might just find what they were looking for.

Come on, Boss.

It's not plan A.

It's just in case.

God, you're such a worrywart.

You're just gonna hold down the fort, huh?

- - Great.

You're still there, huh?

Moisture?

It's a wall.

Jackie, come on. Wake up.

- Come on, Jackie! -

Uh, hi, good morning.

We still have to go.

Even if we have to get a ride to the gate

and hike for a few days.

No. We are not hiking for a few days.

There's no signal within, like, a hundred miles of that place.

How would anybody know when to pick us up?

You've gotta know somebody

who would let us borrow their truck.

Somebody...

- Anybody... - What are you doing

- with my phone? - Nope.

- I'm not calling her. - Name one other person

who has an off-road vehicle who would bend over backwards

for you at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning.

And it's not her vehicle.

It's her dad's jeep.

And there's no way that she's gonna loan it out to us.

We'll just rent a truck, it's fine.

- No. We don't have enough time. - No.

- Cara? - Hang up the...

Hey, this is Jackie,

Taylor's friend from the archeology program.

Say goodbye.

I am great, thank you for asking.

Look, Taylor has something he wants to ask you about.

Come on. Take it.

Sorry, did we wake you up?

- You're doing what? - What?

What is she doing?

What if I had another option

for you that was a little more adventurous,

that would definitely give Veeves an A?

The only thing is, you really need to bring by

your dad's sweet-ass four by four.

- Awesome. -

I'll text you Jackie's address and...

come by like, ASAP, and we'll explain on the way.

Veeves...

Mm-hmm. Cara's half-sister.

Actually, how are you with kids?

Uh... awesome.

- - Okay, so I'm gonna leave

this disclaimer here, just in case I get a bad grade.

Cara's hijacking my school project

to help out a guy she likes.

But there's a catch.

Dad just made her take a refresher course

on how to drive stick.

Let's see how that went.

Okay, Dad. I got it, I got it.

- I got it. - Honey,

treat a manual transmission like you would a relationship.

You gotta give a little to get a little.

- Find the balance. -

Dad...

- What? - He's just a friend.

Okay? And I really don't need your relationship advice,

- but thank you. - But he was a four-sport

letter man in high school. He plays Rugby!

Do you want me to give him your number?

'Cause it sounds like you like him.

Now, would I let you borrow the jeep

if I didn't like the guy?

Our purpose in recording this is to show problem-solving

through adverse and unfamiliar situations.

So, what is our adverse and unfamiliar situation?

Well, Jackie and I, we're teaching assistants

for this really great guy

in this semester named Professor Hopper.

And, uh... he's been obsessed

with finding these hippies that went missing

- back in the '70s. - Mm-hmm.

They were tripping shrooms or something,

and they went off looking for the Fountain of Youth...

- What? - And they never came home.

The Fountain of Youth? Really?

Look, I'm not asking you guys

to get your hands muddy.

You can stay in the car when we get there, okay?

Yeah, all right. Well, when you told me

that you got a plan to get Veeves an A,

you really should have elaborated.

Wait, we forgot about Furby.

- Furby? - Mm. Is it imperative

that he come?

I don't... He just...

He smells weird and he always has that

cheese puff crust on his fingernails.
