Eureka

Previously on Eureka...

Sheriff Jack Carter, Tess Fontana.

Tess and I are old friends.

You're the new head of section five? - Hi.

Look, Duncan, how well do we really know each other?

You know, our hopes, our dreams,

Our reactions to surpries?

I think I'm gonna have to think about this.

You and Henry are working on something.

It's a signal, isn't it?

I think you're gonna need all the help that you can get.

Henry, what are you saying?

I'm saying that there's something out there,

And it's heading straight for us.

Straight for eureka.

What's all this?

Oh, we're making a baby book for the boys.

Smile, uncle Jack.

Thanks for that.

Sarah, print.

I'd be happy to maintain a virtual album

With holographic growth charts and captured sound.

That's okay, Sarah.

Some things are better the old fashioned way.

So any word from Duncan?

Dad.

What? No, it's okay, Zoe.

No, he's probably halfway across the world

Curing disease where he belongs.

Which is why I didn't tell him I was pregnant

To begin with.

I'm sorry, aunt Lex.

I really didn't mean to pressure you.

I just thought you guys would work it out.

No, Zoe, it's not your fault.

Life is, uh...

It's messy sometime.

Is it? - Here we go.

So everything's my fault? - No, not everything.

Look, Jack, even when we were kids,

You never took my side.

Lex, cut the guy some slack.

I mean, you lied to him for months,

Then you took off.

He didn't have the hance to do the right thing.

Yes. Life is messy.

But this isn't how you clean it up.

He doen't want this.

I do.

So I'm moving on.

I got to get dressed.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Moving on.

Uh, so what's this all about?

Just waiting for the aliens to land.

Seriously?

Actually, it's our turn to host

Because we went there last year.

Area 51, Eureka's arch rivals.

Our annual bowling match goes back nearly 50 years.

Bowling. That sounds pretty intense.

You have no idea.

So, uh, area 51,

That's UFO guys, right?

Wrong.

They got the alien rep

After a surveillance balloon crashed in 1947.

Never lived it down.

Which is why we love to rub it in.

Totally throws off their game.

Well... well... well.

Hello, Fargo.

Hello, Bismark.

Mmm, what I that odor?

Ah, the smell of fear.

The only thing scary about you is your breath.

Ready to lose for the fifth year running?

Did you bring your little green men to help you?

I'll show you little green men.

Easy ladies. Let's try to keep the competition friendly, okay?

Well, it's hardly a competition, sheriff.

Your little team here doesn't stand a chance.

You haven't met our secret weapon.

Hey, big Ed, come out and say hi.

Big Ed Fowler?

The former PBA champion?

He also happens to be a very gifted biochemist.

Bowling's more of a hobby.

Well, there's no way.

This is a complete violation of the rules.

You can't just bring in a ringer from the outside.

Rules state anybody employed here can play.

Read 'em and weep.

Still time to beam back to the mother ship.

Bring it, Fargo.

Oh, it's been brung, Bismark.

Nice english. - Ya nice face.

All right, stop.

All right, I got to go.

But both of you...behave.

Hey. - Finally.

What did you come by, pack mule?

Nice to see you too, Tess.

Sorry, but time-sensitive issue.

We need your help collecting

All the globidium in Eureka.

Uh, all the what?

Globidium-- it's a nuclear element

Artificially created here at Global.

It's much safer than plutonium with ten times

The energy output.

Hmm, then why the recall?

Globidium's been field tested in town for years,

But we need to get it back for a new project.

Not everyone is complying.

And we were hoping you could persuade them

Using your inimitable Andy Griffith charm.

You know what?

You have the unique ability to make

A compliment sound insulting.

Who said that was a compliment?

Okay stop. I really need your help, Carter.

Well, in the meantime, it's artifiial.

Can't you make come more?

Yeah, we could if we had six months.

But we don't. We need to move quikly.

Oh, this has something to do with the signal from space?

You told him?

No, but you just did.

Yeah, you think you're clever.

Yes, I am.

So when are the little green men coming to Eureka?

I'm sorry. I can't share the details.

But you and I shared an alternate universe.

Does that not mean anything to you?

Just get to that list, Sheriff.

Wait, I'm on this list.

The smart house reactor runs on globidium,

So we'll need yours too.

Is that a problem?

No.

Sarah. Might have an issue with it.

You don't have to worry about Sarah.

I mean, she can be adapted to alternate fuel sources.

Yeah, well she doesn't like change,

And neither do I.

I noticed.

Meaning?

Tess Fontana.

I mean, she get under your skin.

Yeah, just a bit.

Uh, don't look now, but I think our first customer

Is trying to make a fast getaway.

Hey, Seth. clean globidium-mobile.

I'll return the power cell tomorrow.

I got a hot date tonight, okay?

She loves the car.

Oh, well, she's just gotta love you for you.

Pop the hood, Henry.

Come on, Sheriff.

I just had this cleaned profesionally inside and out.

You can eat off that engine.

Uh, it's not here.

The reactor's empty.

All right, Seth, give it back.

Whoa, I'm the victim here. - Really?

Then why were you trying to get away?

In a car with no power cell. How dumb do you think I am?

Well... - Hey.

What the hell?

Strike one.

Hey, you know the rules.

You mess with your own balls all you want.

But you can't mess with ours.

Ooh, somebody can't take a joke.

Fargo, I have one word for you.

Is it 'surrender'?

No.

It's 'truce'.

We're above this pettiness.

So I'm gonna be the bigger man here

And propose that we focus on the game.

No more pranks.

Deal?

Deal.

May the best team win.

As long as they're human.

Good one.

We're really calling a truce?

No way.

I just want to keep them off their guard.

That way they'll never know what hit 'em, huh?

Oh, what the frack?

Osbourne says that his car was in the driveway all night,

So anyone could have taken the power cell from there.

Yes, but globidium is a unique power source

And without it, our project won't be ready in time.

What project is that exactly?

The point is we need to find it.
