  • Dateline 1941

  • German troops continue their march toward Leningrad.

  • The Japanese occupy Saigon.

  • And the United States continues to ... mull it all over.

  • Giggly Girl: What war?

  • Meanwhile in London, the unending blitzkrieg continues.

  • In response, Prime Minister Churchill has travelled back in time

  • and assembled the greatest scientific minds the world has ever known,

  • in a last-ditch effort to turn the tides of the war.

  • Nikola Tesla. Known pigeon enthusiast and master of electricity.

  • Tapputi: the World's First Chemist whose tonics and perfumes can cloud the minds of men.

  • Charles Darwin has the ability to metamorphosize into any animal.

  • But does his radical theory of evolution hold any water?

  • God only knows.

  • Marie Curie: Mistress of Radiation.

  • And she's definitely a no-nonsense kind of gal.

  • Sigmund Freud.

  • We're not really sure why he's here.

  • Freud: It's because I have the power to control people's sexual thoughts.

  • Observe.

  • And the newest member of the team: a 14 year old clone of Albert Einstein.

  • Time is relative to this young man, allowing him to travel at super speeds!

  • Together they form the Super Science Friends!

  • Now let's listen in as they prepare for their next daring adventure.

  • Churchill: Alright Super Science Friends...

  • This week we're facing our greatest threat ever!

  • Tesla: Patent infringement?

  • Marie Curie: Male chauvinism?

  • Einstein: That giant Hitlerbot that keeps trying to get in?

  • No, it's even worse!

  • All of England's apples...

  • ... are disappearing!

  • These are the only apples left.

  • You can barely make a decent cobbler out of this.

  • Z3. Take us through it.

  • Z3: Of course, Herr Churchill.

  • I wish he wouldn't call me that.

  • I've traced the mysterious disappearance of apples to sometime in the late 1600's.

  • For some reason, someone or some thing has travelled to that moment and is systematically destroying them!

  • Every Grannysmith...

  • Every MacIntosh...

  • And yes, even the Red Delicious...

  • King of all the apples.

  • Hmm. Perhaps the villain is harvesting the apples

  • as an energy source to fuel some sort of apple powered Doomsday device!

  • Darwin: Outrageous!

  • This plague upon our apples could only mean the death of the bumblebees.

  • We'll find their little bee carcases strewn across the land!

  • You need to go back in time and discover who is behind this.

  • I really think that maybe Hitlerbot is a more...

  • Tapputi: To the sciencemobile!

  • Not so fast Albert!

  • You know you're not old enough to go on missions.

  • Einstein: This E=MC sucks.

  • I have to go to the bathroom.

  • Flying Spaghetti Monster: Bye Freud! Good luck on your mission!

  • So, whatever did you do?

  • Well I had him flogged within an inch of his life of course!

  • Children are more trouble than they're worth.

  • Quite right.

  • Come here Darwin! Come here boy!

  • The Super Science Friends have arrived safely in the past.

  • Churchill: Excellent!

  • Now pay close attention Albert. These people are professional researchers.

  • Observe how they hunt for clues, not even letting the most minor detail go unnoticed.

  • Goddammit.

  • I'll show YOU who's not old enough.

  • Where do we even begin?

  • Finding some apples would be a good start.

  • This part of the orchard seems completely devoid.

  • Tapputi: First one to find an apple wins 10 minutes behind the cider shed with me!

  • No apples here. No apples here. No apples here.

  • No apples... gasp!

  • It can't be!

  • Gasp!

  • Isaac Newton!

  • You are so cool, you don't even know how

  • your law of attraction meant to me deep down. ♪

  • Einstein: I've got to tell the others! They're never going to believe it!

  • Lasers? If that's the case then we're looking at technology far beyond our own.

  • Which means whoever is meddling in this time...

  • must be from ... the future!

  • Well I don't mean our future. But THE future. The future future.

  • Classic female hysteria.

  • Guys! Guys!!

  • Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god!

  • You're never going to believe it!

  • Einstein? What are you doing here?

  • Nevermind that! Listen!

  • An apple orchard is no place for a young boy.

  • Wait I'm telling you!

  • If you needed help with your biology homework it could have waited until we got home.

  • No no no no no no no ... grrrrr!

  • Look!

  • Tapputi: Hey! You found the apples.

  • You're a little younger than what I usually go for, but I guess a deal's a deal!

  • It's Isaac Newton!

  • Besides totally being my hero since I was born, he's also the father of modern physics!

  • His theory of gravity changed the world!

  • Which he thought of when an apple...

  • ...fell on his head!

  • He's even more majestic than I imagined.

  • Stop breathing on me. Besides, Newton is totally over-rated.

  • I mean, he still believes in alchemy.

  • What the hell is that supposed to mean?

  • What the devil are those?

  • Abominations of nature! We better call this in.

  • Z3! Is Churchill there?

  • Hey Churchill.

  • I think we found who's been destroying the apples.

  • My God!

  • Z3. Analysis.

  • One moment while I scan the timeline for a visual match.

  • Data retrieved.

  • They are future Soviet Cosmonauts originating from the mid 1950's.

  • The future? Extended analysis.

  • I have recovered a propaganda film detailing their mission.

  • Roll it!

  • Soviet Narrator: Behold our brave Russian cosmonauts.

  • Here in state of art training facility, they eagerly work day and night preparing to be first people ever going into space.

  • Here they board Sputnik, which stupid Americans believe to be merely satellite when really is spaceship.

  • It's roomy interior features all comforts of home.

  • Insignificant problems, such as solar radiation leaks are easily overcome.

  • Observe how their strong Russian bodies quickly adapt to the rigours of space travel.

  • Our brave cosmonauts will slingshot around red planet of Mars, and go back in time to stop Western understanding of physics from ever happening.

  • Our cosmonauts will change course of history

  • for the glory of Mother Russia.

  • If their plan succeeds it will irreperably damage the course of human history

  • and all that we know will cease to exist!

  • The Super Science Friends must ensure that the apple hits Isaac Newton's...

  • Churchill: COMMIE SPACE ZOMBIES FROM THE FUTURE!

  • Get em!

  • You think you've won.

  • But there's one thing you've forgotten!

  • That Winston Churchill is my mentor.

  • And if there's one thing he taught me, it's to always...

  • PACK A LUNCH!

  • He's going to do it!

  • He just might do it.

  • Almost there!

  • Tapputi: Ha ha ha ... it came right off!

  • What the devil do we do now?

  • Let's get the hell out of here.

  • Wait! How does it turn out?

  • I need to check the history books!

  • Hmm. Close enough.

  • You are so cool, you don't even know how your law of attraction meant to me deep down.

  • You are so cool. I'm where I am right now because without you I'd be all on my...

  • Ugh, did you see this episode? That is not what Marie Curie was like.

  • Tell me about it! And that Nazi bomber at the beginning wasn't even a model that was in service until like 1942!

  • Not to mention that the apple falling on Isaac Newton's head was a total myth!

  • To think that the greatest discovery of all time had anything to do with...

  • Music: You're pulling me all the way to the ground Your gravity's too much to bear.

  • My head's starting to spin, just like a globe. Tell me it's something, something we share.

  • These long years that passed, have kept us apart. Why don't you live closer to me?

  • Our ideas are close, but so far away. Why'd you believe in alchemy?

  • You are so cool, you don't even know how your law of attraction meant to me deep down.

  • You are so cool. I'm where I am right now because without you I'd be all on my own. ♪
