How'd you crack that code?

Did you know that

the Polish Underground

would kill their own members

just to prove

they weren't part

of the Polish Underground?

They're a very stubborn people.

Let me see my design.

What's this?

My father's weakness

was a curious mind.

Same thing with Whitmore.

You're old man got

nicked three times

when the falls were dry.

That's not curious,

that's driven.

Little late life to start

thinking, Mr. Paczynski.

The old tunnels to power house

number one were exposed.

You've heard one

too many Tesla-ments.

The quest for the holy grail

armed with a maul ax

instead of a sword.

Now, why would he take

a maul ax to the Falls?

Well, the beauty of a maul ax

is that one end is wedged

like a hatchet.

But the other is blunt enough

to bust rock.

And when the police

released him,

they gave it back.

Careful.

You had both halves.

Twice the profit.

Oh, 100 times.

But you needed someone

brilliant enough to put

the two halves together.

And that is a very short list.

I wouldn't let Nicole Meeker

or anyone like her near it.

I left a lot of interested

parties very disappointed.

You don't even know

what you had.

That design could be

a blue print for free energy.

It could destroy

the world economy overnight.

You lecture on the frontier

of science, but you kill

to keep the status quo?

The fact is that

the design is indecipherable

without both halves.

I wouldn't dirty

my fingernails

to get it back.

This can't be the half

your old man found.

[Borden]

It most certainly is.

This list,

it's not my hand writing.

[dramatic music playing]

[Charlie]

Nikki!

Nikki!

Nikki!

Nikki!

?

[foghorn blowing]

[gasping]

[flicking lighter]

[grunts]

Please!

[screaming]

[crickets chirping]

[gasping]

-[rock and roll music playing]

-[door opens]

Last call was 4:
00.

Dude.

-What happened to you?

-Get me Mr. Smith.

After 2:
00 a.m.

a man makes nothing

but bad decisions.

-Where's Nikki?

-You smell like the lake.

Come on,

you and Emily all along?

Look, I only got

a few laps to go.

I don't need money.

I want adventure.

Then why weren't you

in the barrel?

Jesus and the 12,

is that what

happened to you?

Where's Nikki?

The American side?

They sent you over...

-Where is she?

-How the hell would I know?

What was it like going

over the brink?

No points off for being

an reluctant astronaut.

FBI had everything

but the where.

Somebody stole the barrel.

Get it?

The date, the time,

the contact, it's all there.

0600, 19 September,

Celinda!

You tell me the place!

God save us

from the gifted amateur.

Celinda ain't a who.

It's a where.

Three Sisters.

Asenath, Angeline

and Celinda

Is this what I think it is?

Tin Man.

-Tesla's perfect soldier.

-In theory.

In practice.

The only thing

more valuable is...

Someone

to put it together.

I'll drive.

[dramatic music playing]

Go, man, go

?

Nikki!

Charlie,

hurry there's no time.

It's over.

My brother's men are coming.

-It's finished.

-What's happening?

[Emily]

Nikki let's go. Go!

-[Nikki] Where are

you taking me?

-[Emily] Just keep walking.

?

Whitmore has part of the plan.

-Don't believe him.

-Whitmore is a government agent.

She'll never believe you.

The design was

just bent, Nikki.

You're worth more to them.

Someone who can solve

all their problems.

Well, they could never make me.

She can't be smart

about everything!

-Go!

-No

-Move!

-Go!

-What about you?

-Go!

You can't get

in the way too.

-[gunshot]

-Charlie!

Come on!

[gunshot]

[wind howling]

[Nikki]

You need a doctor.

You gotta get out of here.

And don't look back.

Just rest.

You drew the half

you'd never seen.

Lot of people

want a piece of you.

Well, they have

a pattern of you.

There's a joker

in every deck.

Well, actually,

there's two.

Where is it?

She burned it.

That would be a great loss.

If it were true.

["A Street Called Hope"

?

[phone ringing]

[man]

Paczynski, it's for you.

["Motion" playing]

?

[rock and roll music playing]

? Wish you were here ?

? To whisper in my years ?

? That you love me ?

? More than words can tell ?

? I can't forget ?

? The day that we met ?

? Heeded what you mean ?

? More than words can tell ?

? Can you forget ?

? What I've done in the past? ?

? Please forgive me ?

? And give me one more chance ?

? Wish you were here ?

? I'd whisper in your ear ?

? That I love you

More than words can tell ?

? Can you forget ?

? What I've done in the past? ?

? Please forgive me ?
