00:00Some Alaskan research center keeps sending me their reports about some new electrical technology which could be the next great renewable source of energy.
00:11The history of lightning catchers?
00:13I want you to fly up there and snag their technology so we can recreate it here ourselves.
00:17Welcome to Kulak Island.
00:19Do you know where Lightning Valley Research Group is?
00:22Are you talking about Lightning Lou?
00:24Excuse me?
00:30Righteous.
00:34You have my reports.
00:36Hi, Lucas Fletcher, chief engineering officer, accountant, treasurer, president, and vice president of Lightning Valley Research Group.
00:43Sweet.
00:44We're in the middle of building a fleet of lightning catchers as we speak.
00:47To just run around chasing storms hoping to get struck? Seems a little dangerous, no?
00:52Doctors say he's fine, but I'm skeptical.
00:54This is it, this is it.
00:56Run while you still can.
00:58Charge me up.
01:00Can I film it?
01:06Fourth quarter, all hands on deck.
01:08I don't know what that means.
01:10I've been tracking this sucker my entire life.
01:14It's like my parents before me and theirs before them.
01:17Promise me right now.
01:19I'm coming back, I promise.
01:21Lucas, wait!
01:31I say it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
01:34Well, permission's not going to land you in jail.
01:36Neither will little science.
