Previously on Eureka.

When I thought about going to Titan, I always thought about doing it with you.

am sorry.

I don't know how I feel about a lot of things, and I am trying to figure it

A house isn't a home unless you share it with the person that you love.

Living together, huh?

Just think about it.

Ground Commander Henry Deacon here.

We set our sights on Titan, and many thought it impossible, but that's what

specialize in at Global Dynamics.

Today is the day all of Eureka should be proud of.

This is our moment in history.

Hey, you.

Hey. Big day, huh?

Oh, I hadn't noticed.

Oh, you're so cute.

Yeah. I'm sorry I rushed out on you this morning. I had final software flight

checks, then I spilled coffee on my blouse. I had to run back to my place to

change. You know, the way to avoid that is actually if you have your blouse and

your stuff at.

Man.

Yes, I know. I'm sorry. It's a big decision moving in together. I don't

to leap before we look.

I've always been a leap blindly sort of guy.

Really? Like in the four years it took you to finally ask me out?

So you just get back to me whenever then? No, see you at the launch. Okay.

right.

Can you believe this morning we watched the sun rise on Earth and tonight we'll

watch Saturn set on Titan?

Well, technically Saturn never set.

Titan's tidally locked, so the same hemisphere always faces Saturn. It is so

that you know that?

Wow.

We're going to go farther than man has ever gone before.

Speaking of that, I've been thinking about us going farther.

Really? A lot.

I just really want our first time to be something special.

Me too.

But we're kind of running out of time.

Not if our first time was on Titan.

Dr. Fargo, are you suggesting we join the Billion Mile High Club?

Final biopod demo.

Ready? Safety first.

Okay, everyone. This will be the last review of the biopod safety protocols.

We anticipate that long distance, faster than light travel, exerts incredible

stresses on the body.

The biopods on Astraeus will be your cocoon for your journey to Titan.

Zane, can I use you?

If I had a nickel for that, never mind.

So once your oxygen mask and monitors are attached, the chamber will fill with

stasis gel designed by our own Dr. Parrish. The gel will maintain your core

temperature, and it will also buffer the high G -forces that we expect to occur

during the acceleration and deceleration pulses.

We wouldn't want anyone to turn into a pancake upon arrival.

It's a shame your goo is going to tighten without you, Parrish. It's quite

right, Dr. Fargo. I whipped up a very special batch just for you.

In the unlikely event of pod failure, the emergency life support seats that

passed when you came in will activate.

Strap in, hold on tight.

It will be a bumpy ride, but it will be your best chance at getting there alive.

Thank you, Dr. Blake.

Questions? Can I trade pods with someone else?

Any other questions?

No. Good. Okay, we will see you on board at T -minus two hours to lock you in.

Let's go.

I'm trying to keep cool, but I am really excited. Are you excited?

I'm so excited.

Are you excited? Yeah, I'm so excited. I have to pee.

I'm going to go do my pre -flight checklist. Okay.

Oh, hey, Jill. Hey.

Isn't this amazing?

It is amazing.

A billion -mile journey.

You ready?

Absolutely, yes.

Sort of. Dead.

Still a smidge nervous about the whole billion mile thing?

Hey, you are the last person that should be nervous about leaping into the

unknown. Look what you've done as director of GD.

Joe, we both know they handed me the job.

I didn't earn it. Well, maybe other Fargo didn't, but you definitely proved

you were up to the job. Can you even remember the last time you pushed the

button?

Actually, no.

Hey, like whatever happened.

I know you can handle it.

Carpe diem, right?

Thanks, Joe.

Carpe diem.

Hey. Hey.

Larry said that you were looking for me. What's up?

Yeah, there is something that I need to ask you.

I was hoping we can keep it between us.

Of course. Come on. Thanks.

So, we're almost ready to bring the FDL reactor online.

Let's initiate activation protocols.

Yes, sir.

So, how's it going, Commander?

All systems go, Captain.

This is really it?

Six months apart?

You know what?

This is going to be hard.

Couldn't we just postpone it one more day?

I mean, you're mission commander. You could pull some strings.

You know, I probably could, but our safest launch window is between 1823 and

2037. And we've done billions of calculations to factor in the orbit of

and Saturn, solar winds, radiation pressure.

I get it.

It's just that I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you, too.

Well, that's appropriate.

You guys have science -y stuff to do. You know what, Jack? You're just in time

to see us fire up the FTL ion reactor.

What's that?

Uh, the big -ass battery that will power the Australia's launch.

I want you to say, big -ass battery.

Ready when you are, Dr. Deacon. Okay, here we go.

That blue ought to do something. Does it just look cool?

Uh, the cooling containment shields.

Without, the reactor would overheat and shut down.

Ah.

Very impressive.

Senator, all systems are running smoothly, and we are go for launch in T

seven hours and twelve minutes.

Good to hear.

We wouldn't want to disappoint our special guest.

A special guest?

Here he comes. Have the ball.

Got it.

The President of the United freaking States? Are you kidding? What about a

camera? Your PDA has a camera. No. What? Where?

Try to be professional.

Where?

That's not Obama.

I'm glad you're okay, though. I should have known.

The ticket service always sends an advance team. They're testing us.

What happened?

It doesn't even look like him. Carter, focus.

Well, there was a giant beam of light. Like a laser. Like a laser. And it just

sliced through the limo. We have to assume that this was an assassination

attempt. Or we assume that the Eureka and laser things happen all the time.

Well, it wasn't a laser, at least not exactly. It was a charged particle

A particle... From where? Well, satellite imagery should give us a point

origin, and energy being this powerful would have left a trail. I'm on it.

We need a satellite security scan, ASAP.

Okay, I will tell Senator Wen to cancel the president's visit. Until we know

what happened, he is not safe here. Do you want to delay launch?

No. The launch bay is in a secure area a mile below ground. As of now, there's

no indication that this has anything to do with the mission, but I will keep

Henry and Grace in the loop. Let me know what you find. Sure.

Let's never know.

Not even for a moment.

Oh, yeah, it should be just up ahead.

Something on your mind?

No.

Well, it would have been nice to meet the president.

Well, it would have been nice to know there's a camera in my PDA.

I've been carrying that thing around for years.

You know, there's something else.

I know Allison and the kids may be moving in, and I think it's time I found

own place.

Oh. Where are you going to go?

Working on that.

All right. Well, take as much time as you need.

Okay, thanks.

So the satellite imagery says that we're close.

What is this imagery?

It looks like the death ray took care of itself.

Okay, so we just need to figure out what it does so we can find out who built

it.

Oh, my baby, what did you do to it? We didn't do anything. Your little death

nearly killed Fulbama. All right, first off, it is not a death ray. It is a life

array. And second, what the hell are you talking about? Dr. Blanken, it placed a

limo in half.

No, it didn't. Look, it collects the energy that is naturally all around it.

doesn't expel it.

Collects it how?

Well, my rods, unlike a solar cell, store up the ambient energy from the

range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Gamma rays, radio waves, thermal radiation, even cosmic waves.

So once it's perfected, the electrical grid, nuclear power stations, they're

going to be obsolete. If it just stores the energy, then how did it shoot a

particle bursty thing down Main Street? It didn't. That's not what they do.

Okay. How about in combination with one of those?

Oh, the bomb closet.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

Okay, I used to work in unconventional weapons, okay, back in the day. All

right? I keep those relics around just to remind me of what I used to do. What

used to do. Before. Yeah, but now I'm totally about positive energy.

And bombs, bombs are super negative.

My rods do good.

Rods, plural? Okay, you mean there are more of those things? Yes. The array

consists of 15 rods spread around Eureka.

Well, 14 now.

Do you have a map of the array?

You mean, did I kill a tree so I could write it down for your convenience?

No. Okay, will you email it to us?

Computers are not biodegradable, and now there's that thing, by the way. Ah!

You know, there's no need to be rough. You know, I do have rights.

Mm -hmm.

I'll give you guys a minute.

Sheriff? Yeah? So what were we talking about a minute ago? I can show you where

all the arrays are. It's going to end any time soon. Ah!

Oh, my God.

Mom, this is so tight.

Thought you might like to see this.

Oh, my God, this is a real biostasis pod?

It's pretty cool, huh?

Can I try it out, Mom, please?

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. There's all sorts of sensors and nanotech injections you

have to do before you get in. It's a whole big thing.

You're crazy, Mom. I can't believe you didn't want to go on this thing.

And miss six months with a thoroughly teenager?

Are you kidding me?

Kevin, I want to ask you something.

Yeah?

How would you feel about all of us moving in with Jack?

You mean like us living together in his house?

Well, I mean, yeah, it would be our house too, but what do you think? Be

honest.

Would Sarah clean my room?

I imagine so.

Yes. Okay, cool. I'm in. I'm in.

Okay,

me doleful, thin friends.

We'll have you spawning in no time.

Hi.

G'day, sir.

Sir?

Plotkin. Well, Taggart, I see you're still experimenting on God's creatures.

Would you please explain to Dr. Plotkin that my research benefits all life on

this planet, not just the electricity -consuming kind. And would you please

him that I like that plant?

We're just here for his rod.

Eyesore. Good riddance.

You know what an eyesore is? That tank you call a truck.

Ignore him, Taggart. Your truck is special.

Not anymore.

Me truck!

She's gone!

I know, that was amazing. Did you see that?

Did it? Yeah.

Definitely not an assassination plot.

It could be.

Probably not. My mind cannot begin to process what just happened here. Well,

process this. Could your rod be responsible?

Don't you really think that's possible?

That's why I'm asking you.

You owe me a new rig, mate.

That beauty was one of a kind. That beast was a gas -guzzling monstrosity.

ran on that thing. Oh, enough.

Whatever's happening could be tied to the rod, so let's turn them off.

It's not like there's a big bastard op switch. They don't operate on some

corporate synergistic programming, Sheriff.

They're individual entities.

So we shut them off one at a time.

Come on, it'll be like old times. We'll do it together.

You hate jobs like this. Have you met you?

Well, maybe I am learning to appreciate the simple things in life. Right on,

sister. Don't hate me, sister.

Ow! Tag her! Pluck her! Kay, you guys take the west side of town. Joe and I

take these. Right?

Come on.

Holy Christmas. Well, I guess I'm driving.

Push it nice.

Get the rod!

Ah,

you get it.

Waste of skin.

Well, here we are, hours before the single most historic space flight since

we walked on the moon. We have all sacrificed a lot to be here, as have our

families and our loved ones.

Six months is a very long time, and those months will test us in ways we

imagine, but with the support of our community and each other.

We will get through this together.

I am honored to be your captain.

Well, that's it. I will see you all at 1600 hours.

What do you think she meant when she said the mission will test us in ways we

can't imagine?

Well, we could get incinerated during the flight.

Or we could get trapped outside the Titan habitat and be expiated in the

atmosphere. Well, we'd probably be frozen solid first.

Or... Maybe she just meant it metaphorically.

Yeah, maybe.

What was that for?

Just a little piece of Titan.

This is the last one, right?

You hate this stuff.

Four down, three to go.

So, where's Allison on the whole moving in thing?

She's still thinking about it.

Well, no offense, Carter, but you haven't exactly got a lot of luck in

area. Thanks for the support.

But,

you know, I think that you do have it in you, and I want you to be happy.

Thanks. You know I'm going to miss you around the house.

I miss you, too.

So, so, how are you with the whole, uh, Zane leaving? Oh,

regrets. Well, some.

But I, I, I feel like there's something else for me. I just have to find it.

All right.

Two more odds.

Yeah. Well, let's go.

Ah,

Dr. Deacon.

I can't tell you how sorry I am that you're not on this mission.

Well, you know, everybody's on this mission, just not everybody's going to

Titan.

FDL reactor cell 1?

100%. Fluctuation?

Nominal. Cell 2?

81%. Fluctuation?

81%. Oh, see, you've got a minor power drain.

A drain?

From what?

I'm not sure, Senator. Just discovered it.

But there is enough power to launch.

Yes, the fluctuation is less than a gigawatt, but we will have to hold the

countdown clock to T minus five hours and 13 minutes. Mark.

But you said there was enough power to launch. We're not going to proceed until

we've repaired the power drain.

Of course.

The safety of the crew comes first.

But this launch has to happen, Dr. Deacon.

The future of Eureka depends on it.

So figure it out.

Figure it out.

Start diagnostic reactor team here with me

Be

sure to hand out the

powdered broccoli last one all the energy rods have been shut off That's

bad. I was sort of looking forward to tromping through another sheep pasture.

Dr. Plotkin stuck his rods in some odd places.

You twelve. What, are you twelve? You're twelve.

Oh, yes. A taste of titanium in honor of the launch. Nothing but the most

advanced culinary technique.

Spherified tomato soup.

Cryo -desiccated grilled cheese sandwiches.

Just the way Papi used to make them.

Thanks, Vince. I think we're more hoping for lunch than a chemistry lesson.

Cooking is chemistry, Sheriff.

Oh, what about a burger with nitrogen bacon? Oh, burger sounds good.

Oh, come on, bacon's good.

Look.

Everything went red, and then the cafe just collapsed and disappeared.

You saw a naked singularity.

No, that I wouldn't have noticed. That would be a black hole. Technically

speaking, you can't see black holes. No light reflects off of it, and the red

world was the result of it absorbing most of the color spectrum. Yeah, but

sometimes if it's the right size, you can see a naked singularity around...

You're right, forget it. The point is, black holes in Eureka bad.

See? That again. But a collapsing black hole, that might explain the photon

burst that sliced the limo. And the spaghettification of Taggart's truck.

term. But black holes don't just pop up out of nowhere.

Well, no, actually, they pop up all the time. It's just that they're either too

small or they dissipate too quickly for anybody to notice them.

Okay.

So first my PDA has a camera, and now black holes are everywhere. People need

know these things!

But something is causing the black holes to stabilize long enough to do major

damage. Well, it can't be Plotkin's rod. I mean, we turned them off before the

cafe was hit. Yeah, but they're forming randomly now. There's some other energy

source feeding them. The power drain in the FTL ion reactor.

Oh, Beth, the battery. Got that. We had a leak in the containment. Now, the

escaped ionic energy could have charged the atmosphere around Eureka enough to

allow Plotkin's array to stabilize the black holes. The fuse is now lit.

Maybe you should think about fixing that leak. No, we did. But if the atmosphere

is charged, it takes hours before it dissipates. Until then, more black holes

that could spaghettify Eureka.

Blocking the rods will attract them, right? Maybe we can leave them out of

Good. Someplace remote. We can place the rods around the lake. That way we can

pen in the black holes long enough for them to dissipate harmlessly and on

own. Dad, don't think theoretically.

Theoretically?

Countdown hold.

Hey. Hey.

Where have you been all day?

Oh, you know, dealing with the usual stuff.

Not bad, huh?

Yeah.

Look, I have to go. But I just wanted to make sure that I caught you before the

big launch.

You sure you don't want to come along?

I mean, we could probably share my biopod.

But I have some other stuff that I need to do.

I'll be thinking about you.

I'm sure you said that to all your alternate timeline hookups.

Wait! It's not going to create one of those photon bursts like the thing that

sliced through Obama's car.

You can unclench, man.

Our rods will absorb any gamma rays.

Kind of what they do.

Right.

Hit it. All right.

I need to see something before we launch.

Oh, do you want to go ahead and do it now? Just in case?

I want to tell you I love you.

Just in case.

Oh, wow.

That's really odd.

Wow.

Good wow? Or how do I tell this joker to back off wow?

How did I get so lucky?

Well...

Well,

maybe our second time can be on actual Titan.

Yeah.

Maybe our third.

This really makes you appreciate how much amazing stuff is out there in the

universe that we just never get to see.

I'm going to go with... Makes you terrified.

Huh.

That's kind of interesting.

Shouldn't the little black dots be blinking out of existence right about

Theoretically. Yeah.

Anything more interesting than joining together as one.

Yeah.

Yeah, one. Big one.

You think?

We should, uh... Roger? Yeah.

My team's cordoned off the area around the black hole. Secure perimeter is two

kilometers. For the moment, but it's still growing.

Yeah, but the good news is my array should keep it focused over the lake.

the bad news is no boating on Lake Archimedes?

More like no more Eureka.

If we wait for a black hole this size to dissipate on its own, it will release a

catastrophic gamma -ray burst.

Yeah, and that's like an islet at the molecular level, which is a total

Can we make it dissipate, like a smaller boom? The heart of a black hole is

incredibly dense matter. To force one to dissipate, we would have to simulate

what happens in a hypernova, maybe with a gamma -ray laser or an antimatter

bomb.

Antimatter, we have that.

Grandma had the penny trap at the floating bank.

Penine trap, and we've got it here in secure containment.

Yeah, so we grab that, we throw it in the hole, and it's safe there. In

the problem is the delivery system. Any conventional bomb casing will

spaghettify and detonate too soon.

Hmm.

Hmm.

If only we knew some sort of unconventional bombing.

Oh, no, no, man, no, no. I don't roll that way anymore.

I don't do bombs.

Any more?

I can't.

You... Oh, I feel so dirty.

You'll live.

All right, now this is a high -cancel torpedo shell. I developed it to

the pressures of deep -sea deployment, or in this case, spaghettification.

All right, where's the antimatter?

Heads up. Oh, good timing. Bullets ready.

All right. Okay, well, how do we fire it? A projectile launch might rip to the

containment shield.

Yeah, that's why it's going to have to be hand -delivered.

And I'm the delivery boy.

So, how close do we have to get it?

Gaging a minimum safe distance is impossible. We just need you to get the

to the event horizon intact.

So I'm winging it? Pretty much.

Better you than me.

You're good to go.

All right, then.

Off to storm the black hole. Just don't get sucked in. I may need help with a

move. It might be a... I'm out of here.

Just feel the energy, Sheriff. Shut up. All right.

It's your own girlfriend.

I have a girlfriend.

Her name is Science.

You should be feeling the title pull now.

Nice work, partner.

Next one's all yours.

Here.

It's almost time.

All those months of preparation, you just have to take a moment.

I mean, you're going to type. Yes, we are.

Where am I to get zapped into outer space? How are you two so calm?

One small step for a man.

One giant leap for Fargo.

Nice one, buddy.

Last chance, people.

I'm ready to jump in. It's not too late to change your minds.

Too late for you, Parrish.

Must be tough not being a pioneer.

You have no idea.

Hey,

Isaac.

You are a part of the mission.

Your stasis gel makes all the difference.

Thanks, Doc.

Try not to die.

So, about time for a bon voyage, huh? Yes, thanks to you saving the day again.

We in there somewhere.

We make a pretty good team, don't we?

Yes, we do.

But if you're thinking about going after any more naked singularities, I think

I'm going to have to pass. Not the kind of naked I was thinking of, but

definitely not singular.

Jack, I think that we should move in together.

You want to move in?

You sure?

Oh, we will deal with that later. Right now, I'm going to get the crew settled

on board. So right now would be a good time for you to say your goodbyes. Have

you spoken with Joe?

No.

You probably should.

Attention, hangar bay floor.

Strayus, that T minus one hour, 30 minutes.

What's going on?

I was trying to write you a note.

I was always better with weapons than words.

Just going to leave without saying goodbye?

And self -centered. And you were a really crappy boss.

You really are bad at goodbyes.

But you found your place here.

And you made it a home. And now you're making this family. And I

consider you a part of my family.

Me too.

But these last few months have made me realize that everything I do...

is to prove myself to someone else.

My father, my brothers, my boyfriends, and... you.

I need to figure out what I want.

You can't figure that out from here?

I don't think so.

And not yet.

She packed my bags last night, pre -flight.

Yeah, she did.

Zero hour, 9 a .m.

You all right?

I'm gonna be watching over you every second.

You better be.

I miss the Earth so much.

Miss my wife.

Get so lonely out in Spain.

Oh, but the time looks like I did.

Gonna be a long, long time.

Walk about.

Safe travels, Jim.

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time.

So this is it. A journey for the ages.

Are you ready?

Hold the fort, but don't get too comfortable.

I am coming back.

I'm counting on that.

Rocket man.

Final system checks underway.

Initiate activation protocol.

Sheriff Carter, you're just in time.

Yeah, goodbye.

Well, you wouldn't want to miss this. It's a historic moment for Eureka. All

right, can I have everyone's attention?

When Kennedy announced that we would go to the moon, he said it was the greatest

adventure on which man has ever embarked. But it's got to be more than

adventure. It's who we are.

Human beings, explorers, learning more about the universe that we live in to

know more about our place in it.

So, good luck to us.

And, Godspeed.

I'm done. Get back to work.

Dr. Deacon, you need to look at that.

Should that be speeding up?

Absolutely not.

The destination coordinates are changing.

How? Some kind of route line navigational recode. Pull B firewall and

priority access.

No response.

Pull all the damn firewalls and get me into that system.

What's going on? Henry?

What's happening, Doctor?

I'm locked out of the system. The ship is about to launch and I can't stop it.

Henry? What's happening?

What the hell is going on? None of the computers are responding.

There must be a security override.

The system is actively rejecting it. Well, that's not a computer crash.

No, it isn't.

What do you mean? Someone else is controlling this launch.

What?

Allison, can you hear me?

Allison, can you hear me? We've got to get out of here.

Team leaders, enter your abort codes now.

We're locked out during the countdown. It's still accelerating. How is that

possible? I don't know.

What happens to Dr. Blake if the ship launches? Without the biopilot to

her from gravitational stresses, the only chance she has is to jump sea.

So I'm getting her out of there. Jack, you can't go out there. The SEL is about

to reach full power. Then I'm going to stop it before it does. I can't let you

do that. It's too dangerous.

Oh, fire me!

March sequence initiated.

Holy God.

What happens if he shoots the reactor?

We won't launch because none of us will be here.

Command not accepted.

That might work.

What, beating on it? If he breaches the cooling chambers, the core centers will

shut down to keep the reactor from overheating.

Come on, Jack, come on.

The reactor core overheating.

The temperature is reaching critical. It's working. Come on, let's go!

Reactor core auto shutdown commencing.

Final launch command initiated.

on the ship.

Life status, coordinates, anything.

Where'd they go?
