Dowd.

Now, what do I hate?

Boring places.

And?

Wells that aren't

pumping oil.

So what's happening?

Probably our people

being overly cautious.

I'm sure it's nothing.

It better be.

I bet the whole company

on this site.

Woman:
Well, the reserve is

several hundred feet deeper,

but we have to pass through

what appears to be

a large pocket of

water to reach it.

Water?

Well, let's keep going.

Is that why you

called me down here?

Woman:
Discovering water

two miles below the surface

is important,

scientifically.

Dowd, you're

lead scientist here.

Do we care about that?

No.

If there's a water pocket,

there's a possibility

of an ecosystem. Life.

Okay. Actually,

it's basically impossible.

The water pressure

at that depth is 10,000 psi.

That water is supersaturated

with nitrogen.

There would be

no nutrients for life.

So we keep going,

yes?

Yeah. Punch through.

Woman:
Bioluminescence.

There is life.

No, that's...

That's the reflection

from our light.

What was that?

Female automated voice:

Warning.

The bore into the pocket

destabilized the well.

The pressure's

rising way too fast.

Woman:
There's something's

down there.

We have to shut it down.

Shut it down!

Man:
Something came up.

Something came up

through the well!

Man:
What is this thing?

He's a real go-getter.

He comes

highly recommended.

Mr. Burke!

Do you have this

under control?

We got this one.

I have a search party

looking for the other two.

Tenneson:
It is very important

that you keep your search

discreet.

The department of

fish and wildlife

will shut us down

over a horned lizard,

let alone these things.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

We gotta get somebody

to examine it.

We find out what it eats,

and needs to survive.

It'll help us

find the missing ones

and eliminate them.

Also, if there's more

where they came from,

we'll know what

we're dealing with.

That is smart.

But just you.

Okay. I'm on it.

We are standing

on an ocean of oil.

If we keep this quiet,

we will all make out

very well.

Okay.

I'm on it.

Don't let it

out of your sight.

Yeah!

Cindy:
So terravex made

some people rich around here.

Big deal.

It doesn't matter.

We're making do.

You shouldn't cry

just 'cause you didn't

get a land lease

from an oil company.

Who's crying?

Wouldn't take money

from terravex, anyways.

They ruined this town.

You're talking

like you're old enough

to remember how it used to be.

It was never anything

to shout about.

Dad was still here.

I'm gonna stop

at the loaf 'n go

on the way home.

You want anything?

Something with four wheels

that'll get me

out of this place.

Oh.

You're so handsome.

Where are all the girls

knocking down your door?

I'm closing again tonight,

so I won't see you

till tomorrow.

Just one frozen pizza.

You save the other one

for Rick.

Hi.

Hi.

How you doing?

Good. Sorry.

No.

Okay. Bye.

All right.

Tripp.

She said she's not

going to be home till late.

Yeah? Why would that matter?

You're still going to be here

when I get back?

Don't you worry!

I'm not going anywhere.

You enjoy that

a little too much.

Tripp:
Where'd this come from?

Mr. weathers:

Pankeska rock.

Big accident up there

at the drill site.

It got late

pretty quick.

Let's strip it tomorrow.

If I come back.

Don't think you're doing me

a favor being here.

I don't take charity.

Tripp:
Neither do I.

Tripp:
This is

a 6.4 liter hemi v-8.

Probably the only piece

worth anything.

Go ahead, it's yours.

Ha. If anyone can

get it working, you can.

Hey, lock up for me.

Old hulk ain't

what he used to be.

I got 425 horsepower

for you, buddy.

You're not gonna be

the prettiest thing in town,

but you're going to have

the heart of an elephant

in you.

Outrun that volcano?

You bet we can, Mr. president.

Oh.

What are you doing

in my truck?

Yeah, I can take you

and your sister to Coachella.

Oh. Sisters?

Ah! Kill 'em!

Ejector seat engaged.

Announcer on TV:
You're

watching kypn, north Dakota,

your number one

source for news.

Reporter on TV:

Local residents were awakened

by a catastrophic accident

at pankeska rock,

where terravex oil workers

fought a towering fire

whose black smoke

still filled the morning air.

Rigger Wade coley

was on the scene

when the accident happened.

Ah...

Well, I, uh,

heard an explosion

and, uh,

the tower crashed, and...

Dad?

...guys were running

and shouting,

and that's really

all I'm allowed to say.

Why this shroud of secrecy

and silence by terravex oil?

I just do my job.

I really don't know.

I can't answer

any more questions.

Tripp:
You're here?

Meredith:
I explained to him

that the number of objects

naturally occurring in

the periodic table

of elements...

Tripp! Hey!

Oh, uh... hey.

We were matched up

for biology tutoring?

And you haven't showed up

to any of the sessions?

Or maybe you didn't get

the schedule? Um...

It was posted in class,

and I emailed you a copy,

and slid one into your locker.

Yeah. I just

haven't checked it yet.

Meredith:
Oh, yeah.

I mean, I get it.

I go, like, days sometimes

without checking my email

or going to my locker.

Boy:
Ho-ho!

I'm Meredith,

by the way.

Right. Yeah, I knew that.

Sam:
Hey, Tripp!

Hey, Sam.

How's the luckiest kid

in town?

You know dad doesn't

let me drive the merch.

Plus, he's flipping out

right now.

What happened?
