Male announcer: previously
on eureka...
- When I thought about going to
titan, I always thought about
doing it with you.
- Hey, I'm sorry.
I don't know how I feel about
a lot of things.
And I am trying to
figure it out.
- 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 is what we specialize
in at global dynamics.
Today is a 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.
- Ah, you're so cute.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry I rushed out on you
this morning.
- Listen--
- I had final software flight
checks.
Then I spilled coffee
on my blouse.
I had to run back to my place
to change.
- Well, you know the way to
avoid that is actually if you
have your blouse and your stuff
at my house.
- Yes, I know.
I'm sorry, it's a big decision
moving in together.
I don't want us to leap
before we look.
- Well, I've always been a leap
blindly sort of guy.
- Oh, really?
Like in the four years it took
you to finally ask me out?
- So you'll just get back to me
whenever then?
- Yeah, see you at the launch.
- Okay.
All right, that's...
- Can you believe this morning
we'll watch the sun rise
on earth, and tonight we'll
watch saturn set on titan?
- Well, technically,
saturn never sets.
Titan's tidally locked
so the same hemisphere
always faces saturn.
- It is so hot that
you know that.
- [Laughs]
wow!
we're going 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.
- 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?
- Mm-hmm.
[beeping]
final bio-pod demo.
Ready?
- Safety first.
- Okay, everyone, this will be
the last review
of the bio-pod safety protocols.
We anticipate that long distance
faster-than-light
travel exerts incredible
stresses on the body.
The bio-pods on astraeus will be
your cocoon
for your journey to titan.
Zane, can I use you?
- If I had a nickel for every--
nah.
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 body temperature.
And it will also buffer the high
g forces 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 titan
without you, parrish.
- It's quite all 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 you pass 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'm really excited.
Are you excited?
- Nah, I don't--
I'm so excited!
You excited?
- Yeah, I'm so excited,
I have to pee.
- Huh.
- I'm gonna go do my pre-flight
checklist, okay.
- Oh, hey, jo.
- Hey.
- Isn't this amazing?
- It is amazing.
- A billion-mile journey.
You ready?
- Absolutely, yes...sort of.
I'm 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 g.d.
- Jo, we both know
they handed me the job.
I didn't earn it.
- Okay, well maybe other fargo
didn't, but you definitely
proved that you were up
to the job.
Can you even remember
the last time
you pushed the wrong button?
- Actually, no.
- See?
Look, whatever happens,
I know you can handle it.
Carpe diem, right?
- Thanks, jo.
[laughs]
- come here.
- Carpe diem!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Ah, larry said you were
looking for me.
What's up?
- Yeah, there is something that
I need to ask you.
I was um...
Hoping that we could
keep it between us.
- Of course.
Come on.
- Thanks.
- So, we're almost
ready to bring
the f.t.l. 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 can pull some strings.
- You know I probably could,
but our safest launch window
is between 18:23 and 20:37.
Now I mean we've done billions
of calculations
to factor in the orbit of titan
and saturn, solar winds,
radiation pressure--
- I get it.
It's just that I'm
going to Miss you.
- Oh, I'm going to Miss you too.
- Whoa!
That's appropriate!
Don't you guys have
sciency stuff to do?
- You know what, jack, you're
just in time to see us fire up
the ftl ion reactor.
- [Laughs]
- what's that?
- Uh, the big-ass battery that
will power the astraeus launch.
- Why don't you just say
"big-ass battery?"
- ready when you are,
dr. Deacon.
- Okay.
Here we go.
[rumbling]
- does that
blue water do something,
or does it just look cool?
- Ah, the cooling
containment shields.
Without the reactor would
overheat and shut down.
- Ah.
[alarms]
- very impressive.
- Senator...
- All systems are running
smoothly and we are go
for launch in t-minus seven
hours and twelve minutes.
- Good to hear.
We wouldn't want to disappoint
our special guest.
- Our special guest?
[sirens]
- eureka.
We have the ball.
- Copy.
- The president of the united
freakin' states?
Are you kid--
What, I would have
brought a camera.
- Your pda has a camera in it.
- No, it--
What?
Where?
- Try to be professional.
- Where?
- Um.
[sirens]
[camera clicks]
[expl*si*n]
[screams]
[tires skidding]
[various shouting]
- stay down!
[screaming]
- [various shouting]
- come on.
- God...
- There you go.
That's not obama.
- That guy's okay though.
- I should have known.
Secret service always sends
an advance team.
They're testing us.
- I...did--
- What happened?
- Doesn't even look like him.
- Carter, focus.
- Well, um, there was a giant
beam of light.
- Like a laser.
- Like a laser and it just
sliced through the limo.
- We have to assume this was
an assassination attempt.
- Or we assume it's eureka
and laser things
happen all the time.
- Well, it wasn't a laser.
At least not exactly.
It was a charged particle burst.
- A particle--
From where?
- Well, satellite imagery should
give us a point of origin.
An energy beam this powerful
would have left a trail.
- I'm on it.
We need a satellite
security scan asap.
- Okay, we'll tell senator wen
to cancel the president's visit.
Until we know what happened,
he is not safe here.
- Uh, do you want to
delay launch?
- No...
The launch bay is in a secure
area a mile below ground.
As of now there is 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.
- Uh, life's never dull.
- Not even for a moment.
[various voices]
[radio calls]
- how we looking, jo?
- Oh, uh, yeah...
It should be just up ahead.
[whirring noise]
- something on your mind?
- No.
Well, it would have been nice
to meet the president.
- [Laughs]
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 is
something else, um...
I know allison and the kids
may be moving in,
and I think it's time I find
my own place.
- Oh....
Where you going to go?
- I'm working on that.
- All right.
Well take as much time
as you need, okay?
- Thanks.
So the satellite imagery says
that we're close.
- So does this imagery.
- Whoa.
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.
- Or just...
Read the label.
- Or there's that.
- Oh, my baby.
What did you do to it?
- We didn't to anything.
Your little death ray nearly
k*lled faux-bama.
- 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. Plotkin, it sliced a limo
in half.
- No, it didn't.
- Look, it collects the energy
that is naturally all around us.
It doesn't expel it.
- Collects it how?
- Well, my rods,
unlike a solar cell,
store up the ambient energy from
the full range of the
the electro-magnetic spectrum.
All right, so gamma rays,
radio waves, thermo radiation
- even cosmic waves.
So once it's perfected,
the electric grids, nuclear
power stations, they're all
going to be obsolete.
- If it just stores the energy,
then how'd it sh**t
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...
- Uh, yeah--
- Ah, the b*mb closet.
- Yeah, okay, okay.
- Okay, I used to work in
unconventional weapons,
okay, back in the day.
- Hm.
- All right, I keep those relics
around just to remind me
of what I used to do.
What I 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?
- Oh, you mean did I k*ll a tree
so I could write it down
for your convenience? No.
- Okay, will you email it to us?
- Computers are not
biodegradable.
And neither is that
thing by the way.
Ah, you know there's no need to
be rough.
You know I do have rights.
- Uh huh.
- I'll give you guys a minute.
- Sheriff?
- Yeah...
- So what were we talking about
a minute ago?
- That I can show you where all
the arrays are.
Is this going to end
any time soon?
- No.
- Ah!
- Oh, my god...
Mom, this is so tight.
- [Laughs]
- thought you might like
to see this.
- Oh, my god, this is a real
bio-stasis pod?
- [Laughs]
it's pretty cool, huh?
- Can I try it out, mom, please?
- Oh honey, I'm sorry...
There's all sorts of sensors and
nano-tech 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
want to go on this thing.
- And Miss six months with
a surly teenager?
Are you kidding me?
Um...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 s.a.r.a.h. Clean
my room?
I...i imagine so.
- Yes!
Okay, cool, I'm in.
I'm in.
- [Laughs]
- okay, me dorsal fin friends.
We'll have you spawning
in no time.
- Huh.
- Hey.
- Good day, sheriff.
Jo...
Dr. 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 tell him
that--
- Stop!
I like that plan.
- We're just here for his rod.
- Eyesore.
Good riddance.
- You know what an eyesore is?
That t*nk you call a truck.
- Ignore him, taggart.
Your truck is special.
[roaring noise]
- not anymore.
- Me truck!
She's gone!
- I know.
That was amazing.
Did you see that?
- Did-did--yeah.
- Definitely not an
assassination plot.
- It could be.
Probably not.
- My mind cannot begin to
process what happened here.
- Well, process this.
Could your rods be responsible?
- Oh, do 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.
- She ran on methane.
- Oh, enough!
Whatever's happening,
it could be tied to the rods.
So let's turn them off.
- It's not as if there's a big
master off switch.
They don't operate at 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 call me sister.
- Ow!
- Taggart, plotkin, okay!
You guys take the
west side of town,
jo and I will take the east.
Right?
Come on!
Holy christmas!
- Well, I guess I'm driving.
- Don't push it, mate.
- Get the rod!
- Eh, you get it.
Waste of skin.
- Oh, uh, officer on deck!
- Well here we are.
Hours before the single most
historic spaceflight
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 can't 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 1,600 hours.
[applause]
- 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 asphyxiated in
the toxic atmosphere.
Well, you'll probably be frozen
solid first.
Or...
Maybe she just meant it
metaphorically.
- Yeah, maybe.
- What was that for?
- Just a little taste of titan.
- This is the last one, right?
- [Laughs]
you hate this stuff.
Four down, three to go.
- So where's allison on the
whole moving in thing?
- Ah, she's still
thinking about it.
- Well, no offense carter,
but you haven't exactly
got a lot of luck in that area.
- Thanks for the support.
That's nice.
- 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'll Miss you too.
- Um, so how are you with the
whole zane leaving?
- Oh
[laughs]
- oh, regrets.
- Well, some.
But I feel like there's
something else for me.
I just have to find it.
- There is.
[pinging sound]
two more rods.
- Yes.
- 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 is
on this mission.
Just not everybody's
going to titan.
Ftl reactor, cell one.
- 100%, fluctuation nominal.
- Cell two...
81%, fluctuation...
- 81%.
Look, see you've got a minor
power drain.
- A drain?
From what?
- I'm not sure, senator.
I 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
thirteen 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 diagnostics.
Reactor team, you're with me.
- Yes, sir.
- [Groans]
- [laughs]
- ooh, be sure to hand out the
powdered broccoli.
- That was the last one.
All the energy rods
have been shut off.
- Eh, that's too bad.
I was sort of looking forward to
tromping through
another sheep pasture.
- Dr. Plotkin stuck his rods in
some odd places.
- [Laughs]
- what are you, 12?
- What, are you 12?
- You're 12.
- A taste of titan in honor of
the launch.
Nothing but the most advanced
culinary techniques.
Sphere five tomato
soup,
cryo-desecrated grill
cheese sandwiches...
- Just the way pop used
to make em.
- Thanks, vince.
I think we're more hoping for
lunch than a
chemistry lesson.
- Cooking is chemistry,
sheriff.
- Ooh, what about a burger
with nitrogen bacon foam?
- Ooh, a burger sounds good.
Oh, come on, bacon's good.
- Look.
[roaring sound]
[screams]
- all right, everybody out!
- Come on, let's get out,
people!
[various shouting]
- come on!
- Let's go
- carter!
[loud roaring]
- well...
That sucks.
- It was like a spinning hole
and then everything went red
and the cafe just collapsed and
disappeared.
- You saw a naked singularity.
- No, that I would 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 whirls resulted
it absorbing most of the
color spectrum.
- Yeah, but sometimes if it's
the right size, you can see
a naked singularity around
the...
You're right, forget it.
- The point is black holes in
eureka, bad.
- See?
That I get.
- But a collapsing black hole,
that might explain the photon
burst that sliced the limo.
And the spaghettification
of taggart's truck.
Real term.
- But black holes don't just pop
up out of nowhere.
- Well no actually they pop up
all the time.
It's just they're
either to small,
or dissipate too quickly for
anyone to notice them.
- Okay.
So first my pda has a camera and
now black holes are everywhere.
People need to 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 rods.
I mean we turned them off before
the cafe was hit.
- Yeah but they're forming
randomly now.
There some other energy source
feeding them.
- The power drain in the
ftl ion reactor.
- That's the battery.
- Got that.
- Uh, we had a leak in the
containment.
Now the escaped ionic energy
could 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.
- Plotkin's rods still attract
them, right?
Maybe we could lead
them out of town?
- Good!
Someplace remote.
We can place the rods around the
lake, that way we can pin in
the black holes long enough for
them to dissipate harmlessly
and on their own.
- And don't say theoretically.
- Theoretically.
Woman on pa:
countdown holding at
t-minus five hours, thirteen
minutes, eleven seconds.
- Zane.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Where you been all day?
- Oh, you know, dealing with the
usual stuff.
- [Laughs]
that bad, huh?
- Um...yeah.
Look, i, um...i have to go.
But I just I wanted to make sure
I caught you
before the big launch.
- You sure you don't want to
come along?
I mean, we can probably
share my bio-pod.
- Um...
It's very tempting.
- Mm-hmm.
But I have some other stuff
that I need to do.
- I'll be thinking about you.
- I'm sure you say that to all
your alternate timeline hookups.
- No.
You were never a hookup.
- I gotta go.
- Yeah.
- Be safe up there.
- I will.
Take care, jojo.
- Wait!
It's not going to create one of
those photon bursts
like the thing that sliced
through faux-bama's car.
- You can un-clench, man.
My rods will absorb
any gamma rays.
Kind of what they do.
- Right.
Hit it.
- All right.
[rumbling]
- holly!
- Ooh.
- I need to say 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...
wow.
- Good wow or how-do-i-tell-
This-joker-to-back-off well?
- How-do-i-get-so-lucky wow.
- Phew!
- Maybe our second time can be
on actual titan?
- Oh, yeah.
Maybe our third.
Both: giggling
- this really makes you
appreciate how much amazing
stuff is out there in
the universe.
And we just never get to see.
- I'm going to go with...
Makes you terrified.
- Huh!
- That's kind of interesting.
- Shouldn't those little
black dots
be blinking out of existence
right about now?
- Theoretically.
- Yeah, they seem more
interested
in joining together as one.
- Yeah.
- Yeah one big one.
- You think...
We should, uh...
run?
- Yeah.
- Sorry.
Hold on.
Okay.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Right there.
- 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.
- And 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 annihilation at
the molecular level,
which is a total bummer.
- 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 hyper nova
maybe with a gamma ray laser or
an anti-matter b*mb.
- Anti-matter, we have that.
- Um, um, um, grandma.
Had-had the--the penny trap
and the floating bank.
- Penning trap, and we've got it
here in secure containment.
- Yeah, so we grab that,
we throw it in the hole,
and then wshh! Day saved.
- In theory.
The problem is
the delivery system.
Any conventional b*mb casing
will spaghettifi
and detonate too soon.
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
If only we knew some sort of
unconventional b*mb maker.
- Oh, no, no, man, no.
I don't roll that way anymore.
I don't do bombs.
Anymore.
I can't.
- You will.
- Ah, I feel so dirty.
- You'll live.
- All right now this is a high
tensile torpedo shell.
I developed it to
withstand the pressures
of deep sea deployment.
Or in this case,
spaghettification.
- All right, where's
the anti matter?
- Heads up...
- Oh, good timing.
b*llet's ready.
- All right.
- Okay, well how do we fire it.
A projectile launch might
rupture the containment shield.
- Yeah...
That's why it's gonna have to be
hand delivered.
- And I'm the delivery boy.
So, how close do we have
to get it?
- Gauging a minimum safe
distance is impossible,
we just need you get the b*mb 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 the
move if I say yes.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- Just feel the energy, sheriff.
- Shut up!
- Be careful.
- Okay.
Get your own girlfriend.
- I have a girlfriend.
Her name is science.
[roaring wind]
I think this sucks!
I'm here!
[groans]
- you should be feeling the
tidal pull now.
- Yeah!
I'm feeling it!
Am I close enough?
- Deliver the m*ssile--
[radio buzzing]
- allison?
- Carter?
We've lost him.
- [Groans]
close enough!
Only a black hole!
Yeah.
ah!
Suck on that!
- Nice work, partner.
All: sighs.
- Oh!
[approaching siren]
next one's all yours.
Both: laughs.
- Ew.
[sighs]
- it's almost time.
- All those months of
preparation.
You just have to take a moment.
I mean you're going to titan.
- Yes, we are.
- We're about to get zapped
into outer space.
How are you two so calm?
- One small step for 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.
It must be tough not
being a pioneer.
- You have no idea.
- Hmm.
- [Clears throat]
hey, isaac...
You are part of the mission.
Your stasis gel makes all
the difference.
- Thanks, todd.
Try not to die up there.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- So...
'bout time for, uh,
bon voyage, huh?
- Yes, thanks to you
saving the day again.
- I think we need "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 gonna have to pass.
- Not the kind of naked
I was thinking of.
And definitely not singular.
Jack...
I think that we should
move in together.
- You want to move in?
- [Laughs]
- you sure?
- Although we will deal
with that later.
Right now...
I'm going to get the crew
settled onboard, so right now
would be a good time for you to
say your goodbyes.
- Sure.
- Oh...
Have you spoken with jo?
- No.
- You probably should.
Man: attention hanger bay floor.
Astraeus is at t-minus one hour,
thirty minutes to launch.
- What's going on?
- I was trying to
write you a note.
I was always better
with weapons than words.
- Just gonna leave without
saying goodbye?
- I don't do goodbyes.
- Jo...
I need you.
- You're part of the reason
i'm going, carter.
- I'm...what?
- When you first came to eureka,
you were smug.
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...
And now you're making this
family and...
And I consider you a part
of my family.
- Me too.
- These last few months have
made me realize that everything
I do is to prove myself to
someone else.
My father, my brothers
and 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.
Not yet.
- I hope you do.
And, uh...
And I hope you come back.
Soon.
- Me too.
I'll be seeing you, carter.
- Okay.

pre-flight *
* yes she did
* zero hour nine am
- you're all right?
- I'm going to be watching over
you every second.
- You better be.
* I Miss the earth so much
* I Miss my wife
- all right?
- Uh huh.
* gets so lonely out in space
* on such a timeless flight
* as this is
* and I think it's gonna be
a long long time *
* till touchdown brings me round

* I'm not the man they think
I am at home *
* oh no no
* I'm a rocket man
- huh...
[indistinct]
safe travels, jo.
* and I think it's gonna be
a long long time *
* 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
- vital system checks under way.
Initiate activation protocols.
- Sheriff carter.
You're just in time.
- Yeah.
I had some goodbyes to say.
- Oh, 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 the 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 god speed.
I'm done.
Get back to work.
[applause]
[heavy clanking sound]
[alarms buzzing]
- Dr. Deacon.
You need to look at that.
- Should that be speeding up?
- Absolutely not.
The destination coordinates
are changing.
- How?
- Some kind of root line
navigational re-code.
Pull b firewall and get me
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.
- Ah, that's not
a computer crash.
- No, it isn't.
- What do you mean?
- Someone else is controlling
this launch.
- What?
[engines roaring]
[shouting and screaming]
- mission control,
can you hear me?
- Allison, can you hear me?
Allison, can you hear me?
- We've got to get her
out of there.
- Team leaders,
enter your abort codes now.
- We're locked out, sir, and the
countdown is still accelerating.
- How is that possible?
- I don't know.
- What happens to Dr. Blake
if the ship launches?
- Without the bio-pod to protect
her from gravitational stresses
the only chance she has
is the jump seat.
- Well, I'm getting her
out of there.
- Jack, you can't out there.
The ftl 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!
Man on pa: launch sequence
initiated.
- What?
Oh, my god!
Man on pa: abort code denied.
- Jack!
- Jack, no!
- What are you doing?
- What happens if he
sh**t the reactor?
- We won't launch because none
of us will be here.
[hissing]
- command not accepted.
[hissing]
- that might work.
- Oh what, b*ating on it?
- If he breaches the cooling
chambers, the core centers will
shut down to keep the reactor
from overheating.
- Come on.
Come on, jack.
Come on!
- Mm!
Woman on pa: reactor cooler
overheating.
- The temperature is reaching
critical.
It's working!
Come on, let's go!
- Reactor core auto shutdown
commencing.
Man on pa: final launch command
initiated.
- Oh!
[rising engine sound]
[roaring]
- does anyone have a reading
on the ship?
Life status, coordinates,
anything!
- Where'd they go?
