seaQuest DSV (1993) s01e22 Episode Script
The Good Death
General quarters we are in pursuit of an unidentified contact, Romeo-Class.
Engines way over specs.
I can hear their main drive bearings disintegrating.
Its power plant's going to seize.
These damn fools are going to kill themselves over a few precious rocks.
Torpedoes away.
Two fish in the water.
Counter-measures away.
Counter-measures closing.
Contact.
Fish down.
Mr.
Obatu, on their propeller.
Target locked, sir.
Fire.
Impact.
Propeller noise is gone.
She's dead in the water.
Romeo has hull distress.
We're coupling to a sinking boat.
Put your best pilot on the second launch.
Sir.
Request permission.
I was about to call your name, Helmsman Shan.
Mr.
O'Neill.
Full toggle, on my mark.
Proceed on level descent.
Landing virtually.
Paired signals.
Positive seal on the docking collar.
Detail, ready your weapons.
This is Cmdr.
Jonathan Ford of the UEO.
Surrender and prepare to be boarded.
Mr.
O'Neill.
Prove you're UEO! This is Capt.
Bridger.
You're taking on water.
No time for debate.
All right, we surrender.
Med team, on the double! Are you really Nathan Bridger? Yes, I am.
Who are you? Cynthia! Mom.
The 21st century.
Mankind has colonized the last unexplored region on Earth the ocean.
As captain of the seaQuest and its crew, we are its guardians.
For beneath the surface lies the future.
Commander, get back.
All right, let's evacuate! Let's go.
We don't wanna drown here.
Come on, let's go! Move it! Move it! On the double! Let's go! Whoa, one at a time! Take it easy! You heard him! One at a time! All right.
Take it easy.
Keep moving.
Next.
Come on.
All right.
Keep them coming.
There's room up front.
Stay out of the cockpit! Don't touch that button! There are more up in the bow, but there's no power.
Get us a light.
What are you doing here? She's trying to save the children.
Death squads are the regional method of birth control.
Weren't we supposed to be stopping smugglers? So I was told.
Nathan! I need a med unit.
Here, take this.
All right, you're next, partner.
Hold it.
I've got to get a med unit.
Med unit! Injury in the bow.
I'll take it.
Noyce is trying to reach you.
We've got to rotate the launches.
Fine.
What's the head count? Thirty-five, sir.
"He ain't heavy, Father.
He's my brother.
" Welcome to seaQuest.
I've got one more run, Chief.
All right, Lieutenant.
All right, let's clear for the Captain.
Clear out of the way, here.
with the application papers before proceeding.
Habla Ingles? Anybody around here speak English? I need your room, and you're needed in the Launch Bay.
Come on, move! And shut the door.
Fine.
Nathan.
Bill I was told to stop a submarine carrying emeralds not to attack children.
Look, I'm as shocked about all this as you are.
I fired on them! Amazonian Confederation asked for our help.
Not to commit genocide.
Maybe there's another sub There's not another submarine for 100 miles.
We can't assume that they knew there were children onboard.
Mr.
Secretary.
This confederation has been killing children for decades, Bill! They've be hunting these kids down in the street like vermin! Now how are these people going to join a community of nations if this is the way they deal with poverty? We responded to the plea of a member confederation.
You mustn't hold yourself responsible.
Yes, but if we condone their actions, then we encourage the killing.
You're making assumptions.
Oh, please! Would you at least listen to what Gen.
Guzmano has to say? I have to listen to these guys all the time.
Now all he wants to do is extend his thanks to you for stopping the sub.
He knows? Well, yes, we notified him of your hit on the Romeo.
Apparently he thinks it was a clean kill.
I'll be more than happy to inform the general of his misconception.
Give him the benefit of the doubt.
He's the military leader of his confederation.
And we still adhere to the democratic principles which demand the presumption of innocence.
Seal it.
Boat's clear.
It's just us.
We're full, Commander.
Shan will dock after we pull away.
Okay! Go! Go! We'll be out of here in a minute.
Captain, surface vessels arriving.
Amazonian cutters a mile out.
Where are the launches? MR-4 is docked at the launch bay.
MR-3 is still at the Romeo.
Tell Ford to hurry.
I'm sure these Amazonians don't want us to keep these boys.
Hey, you boys put that box down! Put it down! Chief? Chief! What the No, no, no.
Here, here, here! Crocker! Aye, Cap.
Hi, Cap.
They've got cutters coming.
Make sure the kids are tucked away safely.
Aye, sir.
Oh, Lucas, thank goodness.
Listen, give me some help here.
Let's see if we can gather up all these kids and get them over to C-Deck.
They need to eat.
How about the crew mess? That's fine.
That's a great idea.
Let's get them in a column of twos, okay? Okay.
I'm Lucas.
Malique.
Captain, an urgent transmission from a Gen.
Guzmano.
Amazonian Confederation.
Captain Bridger.
General.
Thank you for your swift action.
I've sent ships to take care of the salvage.
You sent cutters.
Those are for confrontation, not recovery.
Our cutters can handle the salvage.
We sunk it, we'll mop-up afterwards.
Emeralds back our currency.
I cannot allow you on the Romeo.
It would be like America allowing me to wander around Fort Knox.
I'm obligated to pick up survivors.
I don't want you on that boat! I have to protect my confederation's interests.
Sorry.
Captain! Depth charges! Sound collision.
We're not attacking you.
We're only keeping you from the Romeo.
That's garbage, General, and you know it.
There are no emeralds, just scared little boys.
I didn't say you can board the Romeo.
You're holding our citizens, in our waters.
International law requires you return them.
I'm holding political refugees.
You're giving sanctuary to revolutionaries.
Revolutionaries from what? The Little League? Shut him off.
Get me the launch.
Depth charges interfering with communications.
Sediment swirl.
I'm losing sonar.
Solutions on the cutters.
Firing solutions prepared.
Is the launch clear of the Romeo? Yes, sir.
Then don't fire.
I'm not going to take part in their bloodbath.
What's the ETA on the launch? I'm totally blind.
I just know it's away.
The WSKRS can't see through the mud cloud.
Captain, we have to back off or fire.
Wait a minute.
What mud cloud? The charges are kicking up a huge cloud of it off the bottom.
It's sonar opaque.
Commander, take us to the bottom.
Yes, sir.
We're going down below the silt, the mud that covers the bottom.
The nepheloid.
We can stay hidden down there.
Yeah, but what about the launch? Well, they're not going to stop dropping the charges until they think we've run for it.
If we stay hidden we may be able to come back and save the launch.
Got it? Yeah.
Good.
Hull integrity compromised.
Initiate emergency surfacing.
Strap yourselves in and hold on! Cynthia, strap yourself in! Hull integrity compromised.
Cynthia! Oh, my God! Where's seaQuest? Jonathan! Initiate emergency surfacing.
Take it.
Med unit, there! How is she? We've got to get her back to seaQuest.
That's a problem, Doctor.
SeaQuest is gone.
The cutter's gone.
So is the launch.
Use all your assets.
Commander, send out your probe.
Yes, sir.
They'll parade those boys before the world and the world will vilify us.
There will be embargoes, restrictions.
This is an economic disaster.
Foreign economies profit more from our resources than we do.
There won't be any embargoes.
Maybe a dip in tourism but that money doesn't stay here anyway.
It goes to travel service conglomerates headquartered throughout New England.
Tourism is how the world perceives us.
We're an exotic tropical destination full of simple, colorful people.
If the world sees past our beaches The world knows we're poor.
Let them keep these kids.
We should invite them to back up their fleet and take as many of them as they can catch.
We should thank them for it.
They're not kids, they're witnesses.
Now you go out and find them before they testify.
They're gone.
SeaQuest is the fastest ship in the water.
They vanished like a ghost.
I'll chisel that on your tombstone.
Why are you threatening me? Because you're stupid not to see the ramifications of this.
Can you say "Baa", Miguel? Because, the world will want a scapegoat.
Baa.
I'll find them.
I've got the launch.
It's dead in the water.
Send your probe in for a look.
They got out.
Surface check.
Nothing there.
Damn! We've got to get out of these uniforms.
They're targets.
What is with those searchlights? This is a police state.
Those lights are everywhere.
The salt water has turned the antibiotics to jelly.
Commander.
They're hunting children.
They're not looking for us.
They're still looking.
They'll find us.
She can't take much more jostling.
We don't have a choice.
There's a patrol right behind us.
Where are we going to go? Chityana.
The favela.
The slum.
Careful.
How did you get involved in this? Cynthia was a tourist.
My brother hustled her money.
Man, she's so tough she left the beach district and went right to the favela to find him.
She found me.
When she saw how they kill us, she tried to stop it.
She made me want to help.
How did you get a submarine? Cynthia raised the money.
We bought it at an auction from what used to be the Cuban Navy.
Is your brother here now? The death squads killed him.
He was ten.
I'm sorry.
Malique sad.
Malique swim.
Lucas swim.
Can we? Sure.
I'll take the clothes.
Here, give me the water.
Mom, what's wrong with me? You're an idealist.
That's why I'm cold? You have a slight fever.
We'll have to get some antibiotics into you.
And, what else? You'll be fine.
You will be fine.
This is what you need to make you all better.
There.
They're the children, Mommy.
I'm an adult.
What's wrong with me? You're badly bruised.
You've probably broken a few ribs.
A hospital will be able to tell us more.
No hospital.
Not here.
Oh, Cinnie.
What on earth possessed you to do this? Why are you boiling rags? It's to kill bacteria.
I have to clean out her cuts.
We have to get her to a hospital.
No, we'll be arrested.
We're just going to stay here? Here is safe.
Can I speak to you outside? Her wounds were infected.
She'll get gangrene if she's not treated.
I'll try to make it to the consulate.
She needs medicine, not diplomacy.
Well, if I can't make it to the consulate, I'll rob a drug store.
This is no time for joking, Jonathan.
I'm not joking.
Write down what you need.
SeaQuest won't find us here.
They'll figure out where we came ashore.
We've got to get back to the water.
Commander, it's a risk.
Well, this place isn't safe.
It's the favela.
The military won't come in here.
To them, it's already a prison.
Who are they? Sao Irmas de Boa Morte.
What? Sisters of the Good Death.
They ease the dying into the next world.
They're kept very busy here.
How can these people kill children? Commerce.
Favela kids survive by begging on streets frequented by tourists.
They kill children for annoying tourists? When they're little.
See, the ones that survive to be teenagers, they deal drugs, guns and flesh.
You notice there are only little boys, no girls? Yeah.
They kill the boys before they reach puberty.
Don't want them to procreate.
You want to rob that drugstore, Commander? Yeah.
We'll be back.
We found six lungs in a raft on the beach below Chityana.
SeaQuest is still here.
Yes, but we haven't found it yet.
Did you try calling? Si, General? Call seaQuest.
Your assassins left these on the beach.
Do you deny it? Has UEO sanctioned my execution? I am not afraid to fight or die.
Their blood is on your hands, Captain.
You return the boys and I will let you have your people back.
Say something! I think you are.
I am what? Afraid to die.
Move the desk! Move the desk away from the window.
Put tanks around the office.
No one gets in.
Find seaQuest.
They sent assassins for me.
Find his killers.
We should be rational.
Find them! Sir.
He'll kill our people.
He doesn't have our people.
If he did, he would have shown them to us.
What he's got is their scuba gear.
He's let us know that they've come ashore, but he doesn't know where they are.
He thinks we've sent assassins and that they'll find him.
Mr.
Ortiz.
Sir? Pick a likely spot where Ford and his company would have come ashore.
Yes, sir.
Mr.
O'Neill, based on that I want all the maps and images you have of the area.
Right away, sir.
Get me Malique.
Yes, sir.
Come with me.
Commander Ford knows we're tracking him to the point of entry.
I just hope he's able to stay there.
Relax, Jon.
You look like you belong here.
Yeah, but I'd feel a lot better if I could speak the language.
How do you know so much about this place? I was born here in better circumstances.
My grandfather was one of the Vietnamese boat people and this is where he ended up.
Over there.
What? That says "drugstore.
" Let's go.
This says penicillin.
That's antibiotics.
Hold up the bag.
Let's get out of here! This is bad.
They've seen us.
We'll try not to draw attention to ourselves.
Don't worry, Commander.
They're just local police.
They never talk to the military.
Why not? They're scared of Guzmano.
He's insane.
Let's get out of here! Thanks.
I'm not going to do it.
Mom, please.
Take the children.
Leave.
I am not leaving you.
I'm not important.
You're a bloody saint.
Why can't you be a normal daughter and worry about things like your own well-being? I don't have a normal mother.
How could I be a normal daughter? What were you going to do with them all? Dad's beach house.
He knows about this? No.
You were just going to land up on his doorstep with 60 kids.
Have you thought this thing through? Yes.
Your father is not very sympathetic to causes.
He never says no to me.
He's my father, and he always And he's a public figure.
Actually, it's quite a good plan.
Yeah, until you showed up.
I'm very proud of you.
I do wish you'd told me what you were doing though I might have been able to help.
You would have had a fit.
No, I wouldn't.
You would have made me feel guilty about causing you to worry.
Oh, you think I'd prefer to get a call from the UEO telling me that your body had been dredged up out of the Amazon? I saw them kill a child.
I had to do this.
I understand.
Kristin! There're soldiers everywhere.
We've got to get out of here.
Shan! Shan! With all the progress we've made I still think we're still living in the dark ages.
Why? I don't know why.
Why are dolphins interested in humans? We always manage to destroy our own futures.
Man is good.
And bad.
Does not matter.
Bad sinks.
The future floats.
I'm sending a launch to help Commander Ford.
I want you to stay close to it.
I need you to help keep our future afloat.
Darwin help.
Commander.
Yes, Captain.
Pressurize the moon pool and open the hull doors.
Aye, aye, sir.
I'll be in the Ward Room if you need me.
Well, with no current to fight, I think they would have come ashore about here.
Why aren't there any village markings here? That's a shantytown.
There's no streets mapped there.
Chityana favela.
I swept the area for communications.
They didn't respond.
Well, their phones could have shorted out if they got wet.
They probably don't have weapons to defend themselves with either.
They have the favela.
The military hates to go in there.
Guzmano thinks we sent in assassins.
He'll go in there.
I can take a team in, Cap.
No, no, no.
Do you speak Portuguese? I do.
Yes, but can you look like you belong there? I can.
I'm Cuban.
I speak Spanish.
It's not Portuguese, but it's close.
This is my confederation, Captain.
Okay.
In and out.
Yes, sir.
I'll assemble a team.
No, Chief.
I think two men will look less conspicuous than eight.
He's just a kid, Cap.
No, he's not.
You know where they are, don't you? I know exactly where they are.
Can you treat her on seaQuest? Yes.
Okay, we've got to get back to our point of entry and then pray that seaQuest has figured out where that is.
Jonathan, we can't move her without a stretcher.
We don't have a choice.
I think she is bleeding internally.
Bending and twisting down those narrow paths would kill her.
If we're going to move her, she has to be kept completely still.
Otherwise, I'm gonna stay here with her and we'll just take our chances with the soldiers.
Here's our stretcher.
What are you doing? Hiding it.
It'll hold position a hundred yards out.
We're dry.
Where do we go? What is it? It's the head honchos.
Great.
They're searching for your people.
I know.
That's Guzmano.
We can still go in.
How do my eyes look? Like you're drunk.
Good.
And you smell drunk.
That's the point.
All right, if they stop us, you're going to have to do the talking.
They shoot drunks for sport.
You got another way in? No.
Then make this work.
Step back.
Let me look.
We doing this or not? Hang on.
It doesn't feel right yet.
They're stopping our people.
Ford sees me.
All right, they're through.
I'll get the boat.
What is it? Luis, it's a funeral.
Vamos! Vamos! Go! Go! The boat's at the beach.
Commander.
Go! Now! Oh, dear God.
Way to go, Darwin! I didn't know a face could be that many colors.
Got that call, Captain.
Oh, she's been quite colorful ever since she was a child.
Mom But it's true.
You know what they said when I was a kid? Word to your mother.
Excuse me.
Captain Bridger.
Colonel.
We have investigated and found you to be correct.
Have you? Yes.
There was a secret society of soldiers murdering children.
It was led by General Guzmano.
He confessed to his atrocities before committing suicide.
His allies have all been arrested.
The boys can return to their home.
Oh, they'll come home, Colonel.
But first, they're going to visit my home for a while.
Go to school.
Maybe even to college.
Some of them might even go to Annapolis or West Point.
Then they'll be coming home, Colonel.
With all the memories that you and the General have given them.
All right, Mr.
Shan, get us out of here.
All ahead full.
Yes, sir! All ahead full.
All ahead full.
Aye.
Don't we have any ice cream or anything? Hello, I'm Bob Ballard from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
In 1963, the U.
S.
Submarine Thresher was lost in 8,500 feet of water with all hands aboard.
In response to that disaster and the loss of the submarine Scorpion three years later the Navy developed two deep diving rescue submersibles, the Mystic and the Avalon.
What's unique about these submersibles, is that they can attach themselves to a downed submarine and safely remove it's entire crew.
Join me on the next exciting adventure of seaQuest DSV.
Engines way over specs.
I can hear their main drive bearings disintegrating.
Its power plant's going to seize.
These damn fools are going to kill themselves over a few precious rocks.

We sunk it, we'll mop-up afterwards.
Emeralds back our currency.
I cannot allow you on the Romeo.
It would be like America allowing me to wander around Fort Knox.
I'm obligated to pick up survivors.
I don't want you on that boat! I have to protect my confederation's interests.
Sorry.
Captain! Depth charges! Sound collision.
We're not attacking you.
We're only keeping you from the Romeo.
That's garbage, General, and you know it.
There are no emeralds, just scared little boys.
I didn't say you can board the Romeo.
You're holding our citizens, in our waters.
International law requires you return them.
I'm holding political refugees.
You're giving sanctuary to revolutionaries.
Revolutionaries from what? The Little League? Shut him off.
Get me the launch.

I just know it's away.
The WSKRS can't see through the mud cloud.
Captain, we have to back off or fire.
Wait a minute.
What mud cloud? The charges are kicking up a huge cloud of it off the bottom.
It's sonar opaque.
Commander, take us to the bottom.
Yes, sir.
We're going down below the silt, the mud that covers the bottom.
The nepheloid.
We can stay hidden down there.
Yeah, but what about the launch? Well, they're not going to stop dropping the charges until they think we've run for it.
If we stay hidden we may be able to come back and save the launch.
Got it? Yeah.
Good.
Hull integrity compromised.
Initiate emergency surfacing.
Strap yourselves in and hold on! Cynthia, strap yourself in! Hull integrity compromised.
Cynthia! Oh, my God! Where's seaQuest? Jonathan! Initiate emergency surfacing.
Take it.
Med unit, there! How is she? We've got to get her back to seaQuest.
That's a problem, Doctor.
SeaQuest is gone.
The cutter's gone.
So is the launch.
Use all your assets.
Commander, send out your probe.
Yes, sir.
They'll parade those boys before the world and the world will vilify us.
There will be embargoes, restrictions.
This is an economic disaster.
Foreign economies profit more from our resources than we do.
There won't be any embargoes.
Maybe a dip in tourism but that money doesn't stay here anyway.
It goes to travel service conglomerates headquartered throughout New England.
Tourism is how the world perceives us.
We're an exotic tropical destination full of simple, colorful people.
If the world sees past our beaches The world knows we're poor.
Let them keep these kids.
We should invite them to back up their fleet and take as many of them as they can catch.
We should thank them for it.
They're not kids, they're witnesses.
Now you go out and find them before they testify.
They're gone.
SeaQuest is the fastest ship in the water.
They vanished like a ghost.
I'll chisel that on your tombstone.
Why are you threatening me? Because you're stupid not to see the ramifications of this.
Can you say "Baa", Miguel? Because, the world will want a scapegoat.
Baa.
I'll find them.
I've got the launch.
It's dead in the water.
Send your probe in for a look.
They got out.
Surface check.
Nothing there.
Damn! We've got to get out of these uniforms.
They're targets.
What is with those searchlights? This is a police state.
Those lights are everywhere.
The salt water has turned the antibiotics to jelly.
Commander.
They're hunting children.
They're not looking for us.
They're still looking.
They'll find us.
She can't take much more jostling.
We don't have a choice.
There's a patrol right behind us.
Where are we going to go? Chityana.
The favela.
The slum.
Careful.
How did you get involved in this? Cynthia was a tourist.
My brother hustled her money.
Man, she's so tough she left the beach district and went right to the favela to find him.
She found me.
When she saw how they kill us, she tried to stop it.
She made me want to help.
How did you get a submarine? Cynthia raised the money.
We bought it at an auction from what used to be the Cuban Navy.
Is your brother here now? The death squads killed him.
He was ten.
I'm sorry.
Malique sad.
Malique swim.
Lucas swim.
Can we? Sure.
I'll take the clothes.
Here, give me the water.
Mom, what's wrong with me? You're an idealist.
That's why I'm cold? You have a slight fever.
We'll have to get some antibiotics into you.
And, what else? You'll be fine.
You will be fine.
This is what you need to make you all better.
There.
They're the children, Mommy.
I'm an adult.
What's wrong with me? You're badly bruised.
You've probably broken a few ribs.
A hospital will be able to tell us more.
No hospital.
Not here.
Oh, Cinnie.
What on earth possessed you to do this? Why are you boiling rags? It's to kill bacteria.
I have to clean out her cuts.
We have to get her to a hospital.
No, we'll be arrested.
We're just going to stay here? Here is safe.
Can I speak to you outside? Her wounds were infected.
She'll get gangrene if she's not treated.
I'll try to make it to the consulate.
She needs medicine, not diplomacy.
Well, if I can't make it to the consulate, I'll rob a drug store.
This is no time for joking, Jonathan.
I'm not joking.
Write down what you need.
SeaQuest won't find us here.
They'll figure out where we came ashore.
We've got to get back to the water.
Commander, it's a risk.
Well, this place isn't safe.
It's the favela.
The military won't come in here.
To them, it's already a prison.
Who are they? Sao Irmas de Boa Morte.
What? Sisters of the Good Death.
They ease the dying into the next world.
They're kept very busy here.
How can these people kill children? Commerce.
Favela kids survive by begging on streets frequented by tourists.
They kill children for annoying tourists? When they're little.
See, the ones that survive to be teenagers, they deal drugs, guns and flesh.
You notice there are only little boys, no girls? Yeah.
They kill the boys before they reach puberty.
Don't want them to procreate.
You want to rob that drugstore, Commander? Yeah.
We'll be back.
We found six lungs in a raft on the beach below Chityana.
SeaQuest is still here.
Yes, but we haven't found it yet.
Did you try calling? Si, General? Call seaQuest.
Your assassins left these on the beach.
Do you deny it? Has UEO sanctioned my execution? I am not afraid to fight or die.
Their blood is on your hands, Captain.
You return the boys and I will let you have your people back.
Say something! I think you are.
I am what? Afraid to die.
Move the desk! Move the desk away from the window.
Put tanks around the office.
No one gets in.
Find seaQuest.
They sent assassins for me.
Find his killers.
We should be rational.
Find them! Sir.
He'll kill our people.
He doesn't have our people.
If he did, he would have shown them to us.
What he's got is their scuba gear.
He's let us know that they've come ashore, but he doesn't know where they are.
He thinks we've sent assassins and that they'll find him.
Mr.
Ortiz.
Sir? Pick a likely spot where Ford and his company would have come ashore.
Yes, sir.
Mr.
O'Neill, based on that I want all the maps and images you have of the area.
Right away, sir.
Get me Malique.
Yes, sir.
Come with me.
Commander Ford knows we're tracking him to the point of entry.
I just hope he's able to stay there.
Relax, Jon.
You look like you belong here.
Yeah, but I'd feel a lot better if I could speak the language.
How do you know so much about this place? I was born here in better circumstances.
My grandfather was one of the Vietnamese boat people and this is where he ended up.
Over there.
What? That says "drugstore.
" Let's go.
This says penicillin.
That's antibiotics.
Hold up the bag.
Let's get out of here! This is bad.
They've seen us.
We'll try not to draw attention to ourselves.
Don't worry, Commander.
They're just local police.
They never talk to the military.
Why not? They're scared of Guzmano.
He's insane.
Let's get out of here! Thanks.
I'm not going to do it.
Mom, please.
Take the children.
Leave.
I am not leaving you.
I'm not important.
You're a bloody saint.
Why can't you be a normal daughter and worry about things like your own well-being? I don't have a normal mother.
How could I be a normal daughter? What were you going to do with them all? Dad's beach house.
He knows about this? No.
You were just going to land up on his doorstep with 60 kids.
Have you thought this thing through? Yes.
Your father is not very sympathetic to causes.
He never says no to me.
He's my father, and he always And he's a public figure.
Actually, it's quite a good plan.
Yeah, until you showed up.
I'm very proud of you.
I do wish you'd told me what you were doing though I might have been able to help.
You would have had a fit.
No, I wouldn't.
You would have made me feel guilty about causing you to worry.
Oh, you think I'd prefer to get a call from the UEO telling me that your body had been dredged up out of the Amazon? I saw them kill a child.
I had to do this.
I understand.
Kristin! There're soldiers everywhere.
We've got to get out of here.
Shan! Shan! With all the progress we've made I still think we're still living in the dark ages.
Why? I don't know why.
Why are dolphins interested in humans? We always manage to destroy our own futures.
Man is good.
And bad.
Does not matter.
Bad sinks.
The future floats.
I'm sending a launch to help Commander Ford.
I want you to stay close to it.
I need you to help keep our future afloat.
Darwin help.
Commander.
Yes, Captain.
Pressurize the moon pool and open the hull doors.
Aye, aye, sir.
I'll be in the Ward Room if you need me.
Well, with no current to fight, I think they would have come ashore about here.
Why aren't there any village markings here? That's a shantytown.
There's no streets mapped there.
Chityana favela.
I swept the area for communications.
They didn't respond.
Well, their phones could have shorted out if they got wet.
They probably don't have weapons to defend themselves with either.
They have the favela.
The military hates to go in there.
Guzmano thinks we sent in assassins.
He'll go in there.
I can take a team in, Cap.
No, no, no.
Do you speak Portuguese? I do.
Yes, but can you look like you belong there? I can.
I'm Cuban.
I speak Spanish.
It's not Portuguese, but it's close.
This is my confederation, Captain.
Okay.
In and out.
Yes, sir.
I'll assemble a team.
No, Chief.
I think two men will look less conspicuous than eight.
He's just a kid, Cap.
No, he's not.
You know where they are, don't you? I know exactly where they are.
Can you treat her on seaQuest? Yes.
Okay, we've got to get back to our point of entry and then pray that seaQuest has figured out where that is.
Jonathan, we can't move her without a stretcher.
We don't have a choice.
I think she is bleeding internally.
Bending and twisting down those narrow paths would kill her.
If we're going to move her, she has to be kept completely still.
Otherwise, I'm gonna stay here with her and we'll just take our chances with the soldiers.
Here's our stretcher.
What are you doing? Hiding it.
It'll hold position a hundred yards out.
We're dry.
Where do we go? What is it? It's the head honchos.
Great.
They're searching for your people.
I know.
That's Guzmano.
We can still go in.
How do my eyes look? Like you're drunk.
Good.
And you smell drunk.
That's the point.
All right, if they stop us, you're going to have to do the talking.
They shoot drunks for sport.
You got another way in? No.
Then make this work.
Step back.
Let me look.
We doing this or not? Hang on.
It doesn't feel right yet.
They're stopping our people.
Ford sees me.
All right, they're through.
I'll get the boat.
What is it? Luis, it's a funeral.
Vamos! Vamos! Go! Go! The boat's at the beach.
Commander.
Go! Now! Oh, dear God.
Way to go, Darwin! I didn't know a face could be that many colors.
Got that call, Captain.
Oh, she's been quite colorful ever since she was a child.
Mom But it's true.
You know what they said when I was a kid? Word to your mother.
Excuse me.
Captain Bridger.
Colonel.
We have investigated and found you to be correct.
Have you? Yes.
There was a secret society of soldiers murdering children.
It was led by General Guzmano.
He confessed to his atrocities before committing suicide.
His allies have all been arrested.
The boys can return to their home.
Oh, they'll come home, Colonel.
But first, they're going to visit my home for a while.
Go to school.
Maybe even to college.
Some of them might even go to Annapolis or West Point.
Then they'll be coming home, Colonel.
With all the memories that you and the General have given them.
All right, Mr.
Shan, get us out of here.
All ahead full.
Yes, sir! All ahead full.
All ahead full.
Aye.
Don't we have any ice cream or anything? Hello, I'm Bob Ballard from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
In 1963, the U.
S.
Submarine Thresher was lost in 8,500 feet of water with all hands aboard.
In response to that disaster and the loss of the submarine Scorpion three years later the Navy developed two deep diving rescue submersibles, the Mystic and the Avalon.
What's unique about these submersibles, is that they can attach themselves to a downed submarine and safely remove it's entire crew.
Join me on the next exciting adventure of seaQuest DSV.
