Human advancement.
What you're asking me to do now is reckless!
I don't have my team. I don't have a--
- And I don't have time for your excuses.
I want my wife back... now.
- I can't get the microchip out without putting her life at risk.
- Then you are going to give me the next best option.
- I can disable it. - You can?
[Dr. Grafton grunts] - Do it.
- All right. But what then?
How would we actually know it worked?
- I'll know the moment she wakes up.
And until then, you're not going anywhere.
- It'll take hours.
- Looks like I'm not going anywhere either.

- It's still ringing. Nobody's answering.
- Okay. The last I heard, Trudy was picking up my mom,
and they were heading to meet Fenton.
- Yeah, Driscoll said the same about my dad.
He left around the same time,
but there's no answer at my house.
- Maybe Hurd's lying. - I mean, why would he lie?
- To throw us off? To keep us distracted
long enough to do whatever it is he's trying to do.
- Which is what? [Joe shouts]
- Joe!
[footsteps thumping]
[door slams]
- Drew.
- Yeah?
- Your dad said he would return everyone safely
when it was all done.
Can we trust him to do that?
- My dad is a man who makes good on his threats.
But I've never seen him keep a promise.
[door opens]
- Hey, it's okay. I know you're on edge.
JOE: On edge?
We fell off the cliff a long time ago.
We keep losing and it feels like JB died for nothing.
And now Aunt Trudy's gone. - She's not gone.
- What about Dad? Where is he?
- We can't give up now.
Not when the people we love are in danger.
- You can't save everyone.
George said that, and he was right. - Forget George. All right?
We beat George. We'll beat her too.
[Joe sighs heavily]
[Frank sighs]
- I don't know if we can.

- I found this earlier. It's JB's watch.
I think he'd want you to have it.
- Part of me still doesn't even believe he's gone.
- He's not. He's still helping us.
But JB led us to those recordings.
Those recordings led us to Hurd.
He wants us to finish this.
- No one else gets hurt.
- No one.
- Hurd doesn't win.
- We win.
♪ sentimental music ♪
- Guys. What, what are we gonna do?
- We're gonna get your dad back, I promise. Alright?
We're gonna get everybody back.
- How? By doing nothing?
- Or by letting Hurd activate the energy core?
- Uh, Callie, you said that Olivia put the core
in a temperature-controlled case, right?
- Yeah. The lower temperature must keep the relic stable. Why?
- My dad, he has been spending a fortune
upgrading one of his labs.
Something about testing within the lower limit
of the thermodynamic temperature scale.
- What does that even mean? - I don't know. But it sounds cold.
- So you think Hurd's using that lab to house The Core?
- I mean, it makes sense, right?
- How do we get to it? - Well, uh, that depends.
- On what? - On how you guys feel about daring heists.
- I'm listening.
- Good. 'Cause this one's gonna be a doozy.
