Previously on Warehouse 13:
No! I'm taking the Metronome. I'm bringing him back.
Don't think this is over.
I'll remember what I have to do, and nothing will stop me from doing it.
If you use the Astrolabe...
...you will create an evil of your own making.
Claudia's gone. She disappeared in the middle of the night.
An evil that will live with you the rest of your days.
--times when you need to stop talking, okay?
You can't do that without accounting for the variable.
- The variable? - Yeah, the variable.
Dude, eccentric strength, concentric strength and static strength...
- ...all being factored in-- - None of those are the variable.
- No? - The variable is resistance, okay?
Is the resistance encountered greater...
...than the overall maximal isometric strength?
- Yes. - Scrapple and eggs, times two.
You'll need this.
I accounted for that. Given the copper-based physiology...
...the end result is....
Heh. The Vulcans are 47 percent stronger than Klingons.
Huh. I wonder why there's never a girl with you two.
- The usual? - Yeah.
- Sweet Lord! - What is that?
Run!
Let's go, let's go! Oh, my God!
Somebody call 911!
Damn it!
It's coming!
- Keep going! - It's gonna kill us!
Then we're gonna have to stop it.
Okay, okay.
Police!
Break it up.
- Get back! - No!
Dispatch, we need backup and an ambulance now!
Oh, my God, that's-- Dude, that's-- That's Joe!
I'm not getting a pulse.
Oh, my God.
An evil that will live with you the rest of your days.
- No! - Artie?
- No! - Artie.
Don't worry. We're gonna find her.
Just drink it. It's protein.
- Artie. - Artie.
- So, what's the plan? - The plan? What plan?
- To help Claudia. - Yeah. What other plan would there be?
Okay. So we know where she went and we know what she's after.
Technically, we don't know where she went. But I'll bet you do.
- We are not helping Claudia. - We're not stopping Claudia?
No. No. We are not doing anything. I will find Claudia.
- The two of you will be in Philadelphia. - Philadelphia? It's cold.
We got a ping.
What is that?
It's cool, is what it is.
It's a Pocket "Ping" Device. Claudia made it. For me.
- There you go. - Another reason we have--
Listen, listen. A mob...
...in Philadelphia almost killed a young man in cold blood...
...claiming that they were attacked by something.
Unless you want it again, get there. Yesterday.
Yesterday? We supposed to turn back time?
- Ha, ha. - What?
- What?
- Nothing.
- You said-- - I was being hyperbolic. I'm colourful.
Just go. Go!
- What are you doing here? - Sorry.
I must've gotten turned around outside.
- Why are you here? - I'm looking for an Arthur Nielsen.
My name is Adrian.
Brother Adrian.
- I work with the Vatican. - Yes. I know, we've met--
No, we haven't.
No, I don't believe we have.
Arthur Nielsen.
- Oh. Excellent. - Heh. Please.
I need your help, Arthur, and the Warehouse.
How do you know about the Warehouse?
Well, as I said before, I work with the Vatican.
We know an awful lot of things about an awful lot of things.
I understand you can locate certain items.
Possibly.
Something's been stolen from my care.
A very powerful something.
And now I must get it back.
Yes, it's very powerful.
I mean, it must be very powerful for you to come all the way from the Vatican to....
Yes. And very dangerous.
Yeah. I understand. What exactly--?
- Can you tell me the danger--? - Magellan's Astrolabe.
Oh, Magellan's Astrolabe, interesting.
It's been used to erase 24 hours, and now the thief has to undo that act.
Yes, but the danger. What exactly is the danger?
Undo? What do you mean, undo?
Using the Astrolabe unleashes an evil.
A formidable evil. An evil that has to be eradicated.
And the only way to do that...
- ...is to undo what the Astrolabe did? - Yes. Yes.
If the same person uses the Astrolabe again...
...time will be reset.
The evil never will have existed.
- Things will go back exactly as they were? - Yes.
But wouldn't the person who used the artefact be aware of that danger?
Clearly it is a risk they were willing to take.
- No. - A risk they might still be willing to take...
- ...if circumstances were-- - It was a mistake.
It has to be undone.
Now, will you help me, Arthur?
Of course. I'm absolutely at your service.
You can reach me at this number, anytime, day or night.
Well, I will do everything in my power to find the person who used the Astrolabe.
Eradicating this evil is of the utmost importance.
I cannot impress that upon you enough.
Eradicating evil.
It's what we do.
Please don't worry about a thing.
- Delicious scones, by the way. - Scones and evil. That's what we do.
- Just that way. - Right.
It was gonna kill us and fry us up for dinner, I swear.
Maybe it was something in the food.
Not a chance. I never eat the food in this place.
I've never seen anything like it, not even on Animal Planet.
It was like a nightmare.
Or an acid trip gone really, really bad.
But you guys said that you weren't drinking last night, right?
- Or doing, you know, anything else? - No.
- Not even Red Bull and Ritalin. - Dude.
- Whatever it was, it was real. - No, it wasn't. It was Joe.
He was supposed to meet us. We put him into a coma.
Why would we do that?
We think that something affected you...
...made you see the--
Whatever it was that you think you saw.
That's why we're here. To find out what.
Now, did you guys come into contact with anything weird here at the diner?
Like an old plate maybe or, ooh, a ladle?
Never mind. It's....
- Can we go? - Yeah, you can-- Yeah.
Let me guess. They couldn't make it out...
...but it was big and red and had lots of tentacles.
Ugh. Blech. I hate tentacles.
You're not gonna like this case. A veritable tentacles-a-palooza.
Ew.
- They said that they were sober. - I used to say that a lot.
Yeah. But there's no drink or drug...
...that can make multiple people have the same hallucination at the same time.
No, it had to be something here.
Something the cops didn't come into contact with, because they saw was Joe.
Well, I-- What, artefact intoxication?
Maybe it's something in the water. Oh!
The condiments, you know?
I've never trusted no grey poop.
Give me good old-fashioned yellow.
Well, whatever it was...
...we should find it before somebody else gets hurt.
Let's just close this baby down.
No diner, no danger.
Yeah.
- Gary? Dr. Bauer's ready for you now. - Thank you.
My God!
- Help us! - What is it? What's happening?
It's gonna kill us!
- Linda, run! - Help! Somebody, help!
What are you doing?
Get away from him!
I'm calling 911 now.
- Miss, are you all right? - No.
- No, no, no. - It's okay. It's okay.
Oh, God! This can't be happening to me. Everything's out of order now.
I'm due on 14. If I'm late, he's gonna fire me.
He's not gonna fire you. We'll get you there on time.
- Thank you. I'll sort them in the elevator. - Okay.
- God. Thank you. - There you are.
Wait, I need to see your security badge.
Oh, God. Yeah.
Just--
No.
No, no, don't cry. It's okay.
It'll be our little secret.
Thank you. Heh.
- Hi. How's it going? - Pretty quiet.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
Uh, you new?
Yeah, I just started on Tuesday, actually.
We must not have met yet.
New kind of badge.
- Made it myself. - Hey, crybaby...
...this isn't 14.
Enough!
All right, ow, with the pulling. Ow. Ow.
- You learn anything? - Well, whatever attacked them...
...was big and green with enormous claws and glowing eyes.
- Anything helpful? - Nah, you?
No. None of the patients had been in to see the dentist yet...
...so it wasn't one of the instruments.
None of them drank from the same cooler...
...or read the same magazine or even used the same pen.
I mean, there's no cross-contamination at all.
Great. We have a fantastic list of what this isn't.
Think any of them ate at the diner?
No. Aside from the end result, there's no connection to the people at the diner.
Look, the folks at the diner saw a big red scary thing--
- With tentacles. - Please don't.
And, you know, the people here saw this green thing...
- ...with the claws and the eyes-- - There's something about the tentacles.
Will you please stop saying that word?
Ha, ha. Man, it's like Indiana Jones with snakes.
Yes, it is. I don't know what that means, but it is. Okay?
I hate octopi or jellyfish or squid or anything that's a form of cnidarian. Okay?
It's a phobia, so just don't.
Ha, ha. Okay. Okay.
All right, fine. Let's review.
We don't know what the artefact is, how it works, or why it's doing what it's doing.
We do know that it's spreading.
And this time, someone died.
Okay, I'm gonna call Leena.
You know, maybe she'll scour the police scanners...
...and find out if anyone's reported more of these hallucinations.
Ask her about the tentacles.
I don't care who knows I'm here.
I don't care what it costs.
I'm bringing Steve back, Artie. And you are not gonna stop me.
Don't you think that I know how you feel?
I have lost partners.
I've lost people that I would do anything to bring back. It's not how things work.
You don't get to use artefacts for your own selfish needs.
Ugh. The-- I'm not being selfish.
- This is not about me. It's about Steve. - Is it?
Or is it because you just can't bear losing him?
Claudia, is this what Steve would want?
- For you to risk everything? - Artie...
...if you could use an artefact...
...to set something right...
...to undo a huge, stupid tragedy...
...wouldn't you do it?
I cared about Steve too. I care about all of you.
I know how tempting it is. But I'm not gonna let you go down that road.
Letting yourself be seduced by an artefact.
Claudia, that's just a path to destruction.
And I've seen it. You've seen it.
With MacPherson, with H.G., with Sykes.
I'm not them.
They weren't them either, until they became them.
- Ugh, no! - No.
She did not use the Metronome.
And she won't. I'll see to it.
- No need for a Regent to get involved. - It's all right, Artie.
A decision has already been made.
Claudia can bring back Agent Jinks.
What? No, no, no.
No, no. No, they can't.
- They can't allow-- - I said, it's all right.
It's not all right.
You don't understand.
Something could be released.
This is wrong.
It's wrong.
Thank you.
- I know I'm putting my career on the line-- - No, no.
You're putting your life on the line.
- Are you absolutely sure? - Yes.
All right.
Then there are certain arrangements to be made.
Hey, Jimmy, I'm home. Can you help me with these?
Excuse me, ma'am. I think you dropped your key.
- No, sorry, this isn't mine. - Oh, my mistake.
Yeah.
Hey, honey, did you remember to get the kale for the--?
I intercepted a 911 call where a man said...
...something scary did something awful to his wife.
That sounds like one for us.
- Leena, did the scary thing have tenta... - Don't.
...tive? Was it tenta--? I was asking if it seemed tentative.
What did it do to her?
He didn't know, but he locked it in a closet.
And the 911 operator told him to sleep it off.
Ah. Artefact intoxication.
East side. Doesn't seem like the police are in any rush.
That's okay. We are.
- No! - Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy, easy, okay? We're here to help.
- It's in there. - Secret Service.
All right? We have a lot of experience dealing with this, uh--
- This sort of thing. - That's right.
Look. See? We, uh, even brought the right equipment.
What are you, like Men in Black?
Yeah, yeah, we kind of are.
Sure, why not?
Okay, listen to me. I just need you to move aside.
Just come over here with me, okay, and just give me the gun.
What are you doing? It's going to kill us!
Hey, hey!
Huh.
Will he, um--? Will he be the same?
He's not gonna come back like some kind of zombie, right?
Steve will be Steve again.
Claudia, what you're about to do--
Is dangerous. You don't have to hold my hand.
I actually do.
This is not unlike the Bronze Shoes.
Without someone to walk this road with you, you may lose your way.
Understand?
Now...
...leave one hand on the Metronome.
Gently place the other on Steve's heart.
Close your eyes, Claudia.
Concentrate on his face.
His eyes.
- But why isn't it--? - Shh.
Wait.
- Thank you for contacting me. - What kind of evil?
The evil that you mentioned from the Astrolabe.
What kind of evil exactly?
I've been told...
...it's an unimaginable evil, unique to the user.
Nothing he could anticipate...
...but an evil that will cut through his heart like--
- A dagger. - Yes.
- Nothing's happening. It's not working. - Patience, Claudia. Patience.
Please, please, come back.
Please.
Steve!
Put your hand back on the Metronome.
Claudia, look at me now. Look at me.
You can't help him if you die too. Claudia, look at me!
I've done the research. I've used every resource at my disposal.
Nowhere. Nowhere does it describe this evil.
Is it possible? Could this evil be triggered by a resurrection?
- By bringing somebody back to life? - Resurrection? Why?
It is possible, isn't it?
Anything is possible.
Claudia, don't look away!
That's it, that's right.
Try not to panic. Breathe.
No! No, I will not let this happen!
Claudia, talk to me.
What do you see?
White everywhere and Steve.
Don't go to him. He has to come to you. Stay focused on me...
...and bring him with you.
You wanted to save him, so save him, damn it! Breathe!
Steve! Steve!
That's it. That's it.
Yes.
- Hey. - Oh, my God.
What happened?
There has to be something more that you can tell me. Something specific.
Knowing the evil won't help you locate the Astrolabe.
I have to know everything about the Astrolabe in order to find it.
- For instance, was it used before? - Yes.
- But every circumstance is different. - And the evil that was released?
By Robespierre...
...at the advent of the French Revolution.
The Reign of Terror.
Which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
So you see the possibilities.
Yeah. Nothing? There was nothing that could be done to stop it?
As I've explained, the only way to stop the evil from being created...
...is to reverse the effect of the Astrolabe.
There has to be another way.
It was huge, with wings and these glowing eyes.
Yeah, he started acting weird right after lunch.
Must have been the mushrooms he had in his salad.
That happens sometimes. Especially with wild mushrooms.
It's the psilocybin.
Thank God you got here in time.
It was like he was having a nightmare, but he was wide-awake.
- This happened as soon as you got home? - After I got inside.
Did you see anything else? Anything unusual?
Nothing.
Okay, look, Robin, just walk me through this, okay?
Jimmy was home. You got home from the store, you got out of your car, and--
I grabbed the groceries from the trunk and I go inside.
Oh, yeah, there was a man.
He thought I dropped my key, but....
Wait, wait, wait.
A man?
A man thought what?
Well, he handed me a silver key, but it wasn't mine...
- ...so I gave it back. - A key.
A key. Myka, do you still have those sketches?
Yeah. If you could just excuse us for a second?
You know, there must be some sort of time element to this artefact.
I mean, her husband saw some terrifying something...
...and then we show up later and we don't see anything.
The same thing happened to the cops.
Key, nightmare, tentacles. Tentacles.
- Would you stop saying that word? - That's it. That's it. Cthulhu.
- What? - That's what I've been trying to remember.
When I was a kid, I read these comic books about a sea creature named....
"Cthulhu.
Created by H.P. Lovecraft." You know, I've never read anything by him.
What? A writer you never read?
Well, when it comes to horror, I'm more of a Kafka or Shelley girl.
But Cthulhu, I mean, the mythos does permeate a lot of popular culture.
Well, you lost me there. But these things that they've been seeing--
Are definitely Lovecraft.
Tentacles, claws and sometimes wings are all common to Lovecraft creatures.
Apparently, he suffered a form of waking dream called night terrors.
They came in his dreams.
- Nightmares. - Right.
And, yes, he blamed it on a silver key.
He called it "the key to the gate of dreams."
Aha. I smell artefact.
Okay. Thanks, Leena.
Okay. Okay, so....
So a man in a baseball cap gives Robin a silver key.
Right. She walks into the house, like the guy at the dental office.
Or the kid in the diner. Oh, my God, Pete, we are looking at this thing all wrong.
It's not the people who are seeing Lovecraft's creatures who've been affected.
It's the victims. The victims are the ones who get whammied.
The artefact makes people see them as monsters.
We need to talk to the first victim.
- We can't. He's in a coma. - We'll just--
We'll go to his house, then, and try and find a connection.
Let's go.
I'm not finding anything.
Mykes.
Look at this.
It's from the championship game.
Didn't Robin say that our key collector wore a hat from the championship game?
Yeah. So?
So they went to the same game.
Philadelphia versus Cincinnati.
Okay. So, what was so important about that game?
I don't know. After Cleveland lost, I quit watching.
Which was early.
Wait. Philly versus Cincinnati....
I remember something about that game.
You know about a sports event? Something that could connect our victims?
Not something, someone.
Theresa Hicks.
She died at that game.
I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
Yeah, well....
Last thing I remember, Marcus was coming at me with a syringe.
Whew.
- Guess I wasn't much of a hero. - Oh, no, you were a hero.
You were amazing.
Oh, yeah? So how did I end up here?
Well, the injection Marcus gave you was pretty intense.
You know, you were out of commission for a while, but what you did saved us.
Your intel led us right to Sykes.
- So he's.... - Finished.
- The Warehouse is safe. - And Marcus?
Also finished. For good, this time.
I must have been out of it for a while to have missed all that.
Yeah.
But you're back now, Jinksy. Good as new.
Why aren't we in my room?
Pfft. No reason.
This was cleaner, easier.
- Closer to the front door, really. - Claudia?
- Yeah. - What aren't you telling me?
- Heh. Nothing. - Oh, and now you're lying.
Okay.
I guess we didn't lose the whole human-lie-detector thing.
- God, I was kind of hoping. - Lose? Why would I lose...?
Steve, listen to me.
I wasn't lying to you, exactly.
A lot of things happened.
Here's the camera footage we have from that part of the stadium.
The victim's name was Theresa Hicks.
I know. It's a name I'll never forget.
Look. That's her. Right there.
She was knocked out.
Wait. Stop, stop.
That's him. That's the guy who was attacked at the dental office.
- He knocked her down, Mykes. - Right. That's the accountant.
Could you keep it running, please?
He got in his way.
Oh, my God, that's Joe, the kid from the diner.
Yes, it is. He wouldn't help either.
Ah, wait. Let me pull up a different angle here.
Okay, this is a few seconds later.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wasn't she just holding his hand a few seconds ago?
That newspaper article, it said that Theresa Hicks was engaged.
Right, right. Uh.... Ron Hadsell.
He's trying to save her. Why won't she help?
That's Robin, the housewife.
- He couldn't save her. - What?
He couldn't save her. He--
He couldn't save her, so he blames them.
All those people...
...the man who pushed her down, the woman who wouldn't stop to help...
...to Ron Hadsell, those people are monsters.
He used Lovecraft's key...
...so that people would see them as real monsters.
And suffer the same fate as his fiancée did.
Pete, look.
The guy who's blocking the ambulance.
- He's got another monster on his list. - Okay.
I'm gonna find Ron Hadsell, okay?
You run those tags and find his next victim.
Okay.
I guess I should have told you.
You think?
Dead.
I was dead.
You know...
...a lot of people experience clinical death for a few minutes.
- How many minutes was I dead for? - Four thousand three hundred and twenty.
I'm sorry, okay? God, I'm sorry any of it happened.
But if you think I'm gonna apologise for bringing you back, I'm not.
You know, maybe it was completely selfish of me.
Maybe I ruined your karma...
...or put a kink in your plan to achieve enlightenment...
...and come back as a butterfly or whatever Buddhists do.
Maybe I've upset the whole cosmos.
I don't care. I would do it all again.
I really hope you can forgive me.
But it's okay if you don't.
You know, as long as you're here.
The world's a better place with you in it, Jinksy.
My world is, anyway.
It's just--
It's weird, okay?
I don't know what I feel or how I feel. Hell, I don't even know if I feel.
It's gonna take some time.
I get that.
I totally get it.
And, you know, if you decide you wanna be a butterfly...
...we can always stop the Metronome.
Let's not rush into anything.
Mr. Hadsell, open up. It's the Secret Service.
Ron Hadsell?
It's the Secret Service.
Mr. Green? Mr. Jeff Green?
You may be in danger.
Ew.
- Mykes? - Pete, listen. I'm at Hadsell's house.
He's definitely our guy.
Good work, partner, huh? We got him.
Uh, well, not quite. He's not here.
Jeff. Jeff Green.
Because he's here.
- Who are you? - I'm just someone who's here to help.
Son of a--
Wait, wait! Just unwhammy me, okay?
We know what happened to Theresa. We can work this out, I promise.
Oh, yeah? Can you bring her back?
Then there's nothing to work out.
I'm sorry. It's too late.
Oh, my God, what the hell is that?
What are you talking about?
It's gonna kill me!
Somebody, this alien thing is gonna kill us all!
Wait. Cut it out. What are you talking about?
- Help! It's gonna-- - Oh, my God.
Please, help him! Somebody help!
Come on, Pete, just pick up the phone.
- Help! - Help! It's gonna kill us all!
You better get here quick. I've been whammied.
Oh, my God. Pete, is that you?
Help! Help! It's gonna kill me!
Somebody, please help me!
Would you knock it off?
Oh, my God!
Hang on, buddy.
Wait, hold on! Hold on, okay? This isn't what it looks like. I'm not--
Kill it!
- Kill it before it kills us! - Never mind.
Oh, my God. Pete, is that you? Of course it's you.
Oh, that's a lot of tentacles.
Look out! Get away from it!
Pete, just get behind me.
Are you crazy?
Everybody stay where you are, okay?
- I'm Secret Service. Don't move. - You tell them, Mykes.
It's gonna kill you.
No. No, I'm not gonna hurt her. I like Myka. She's my partner, see?
Okay, everybody just stay where you are.
Okay? This isn't real.
Whatever you're seeing, it's not gonna hurt you.
He's annoying and childish, and I wish I could throw a chair at him...
...but he's not dangerous, okay?
- He's my partner. - Thanks, Mykes.
What you're seeing is a hallucination. It's caused by mushrooms.
I don't eat mushrooms!
In the water supply, okay? So everybody just relax.
She was right. Kill it before it kills us.
Oh, my God, it's him.
Pete, here just....
Okay, Hadsell, give me the key.
- She's afraid of it. - It's got her gun.
Don't make me shoot you.
Watch it. Those things are expensive.
Hey! You could've put an eye out, mister.
We've got it scared now.
Stay down.
Wait! Stop!
You're just a guy.
Oh, yeah?
Well, you're overworking your lats.
You see what happens?
I tried going to the police. They wouldn't listen.
They said it was an accident.
It wasn't. It was a crime.
Fear and selfishness.
People should be prosecuted for that.
So why go through with all this?
I mean, why not just shoot them?
I tried once. I couldn't do it.
And you just stumbled upon the key?
I heard about it at a horror con.
When the cops wouldn't help, I hunted it down.
I knew that if it somehow worked, it would be the perfect weapon.
And it was. It showed those people for who they really were.
Let's go.
I wish I could feel sorry for him, Mykes, but...
...I can't.
One guy in a coma, another guy dead.
He's no better than they are.
I know that in my head.
But I also understand how that combination of grief and anger...
...can drive you to do things that you know you shouldn't do.
All right, Artie, Steve's at the B and B waiting for Pete and Myka, so I'm--
Apparently in a bit of trouble.
Wait. No, I'm sorry, I got permission.
So it would seem.
Adwin, what's going on here?
Jane, I believe you know exactly what's going on.
You didn't get approval, did you?
- You rebel. - Agent Donovan...
...using an artefact of this magnitude is almost unconscionable.
No. Leaving Steve dead...
...after he saved the Warehouse, saved all of us, that would be unconscionable.
- That would have been wrong. - Jane? Jane...
...you cannot be ruled by your guilt.
Whether any of this is right or wrong is irrelevant, isn't it?
Neither one of you understand the ramifications of your actions...
...nor does Agent Jinks.
There are consequences.
Agent Jinks may be alive...
...but he's not a free man.
He is linked to the Metronome, and therefore...
...to the Warehouse and the Regents forever.
And because we do not yet know the downside of this artefact...
...the Metronome will stay with us.
And Agent Jinks will be under supervision.
Lifetime supervision.
- Okay, that doesn't sound so bad. - And if there is a dangerous downside...
...the Regents will take action.
Sounding worse.
What if we were to discover that the downside of the artefact...
...is that anyone Agent Jinks has ever touched...
...is now slowly dying?
Bear in mind, should things go awry...
...we will not hesitate.
- You would have to-- - Our first responsibility...
...all of us...
...is to protect the world from the dangers of an artefact.
- Dead guys eat, right? - That's so stupid.
- What? - Right.
I imagine Mr. Kosan...?
Hmm. And are you okay?
Yeah. I'm okay.
Are we okay?
Yeah.
We're okay.
I am tired from bringing a man back from the dead.
An evil that will cut through your heart like a dagger.
Artie? Hey, what are you, dead?
You did hear the word "dinner," didn't you?
Heh. Artie?
What?
What? What is it?
Oh, um-- Pfft.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
No, what is it? Artie?
So, what have we got?
- What's in there? - Really? It's like a meat--
- No. - No, it's good.
