Eureka

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Stay down!

Eureka s04 e20 "One Giant Leap" Season Finale

- 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.
