seaQuest DSV (1993) s02e01 Episode Script
Daggers
All guards on duty.
Must display holographic ID imprints.
Maintenance crew report to sector four immediately.
Prisoner release mode engaged.
Time to let the animals out of their cages.
Welcome back, sir.
Well, how was the vacation, Lieutenant Brody? Nice, Reynolds.
Open the gate.
Ah, you got the password? Just open the gate! Yes, sir! What's going on, DeNado? I'll tell you what's going on.
They're up to something, Lieutenant.
I can feel it.
Ah, they're always up to something this time of year.
Tomorrow is their birthday.
Some birthday.
Twenty years ago 50 test tubes get poured out into a petri dish, and that's why we get to baby-sit a bunch of camouflaged freaks.
They're not freaks.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
"GELFs," Genetically Engineered Life Forms.
But it was a failed experiment, Jimmy.
Just like those dead astronauts we got stuck up there circling in the milky way.
You're a real humanitarian, DeNado.
I'm a UEO lifer.
They're alive, DeNado.
Come on, they can't even reproduce.
They were just supposed to be soldiers, the perfect jarheads out there dying for the holy cause of the moment, you know.
If you hate them so much, DeNado, why'd you sign up for this? Because when some young Louie like you ain't around bleeding through his heart for these "Genetically mismanaged GELFs," I'm in charge.
Then you better make the most of it, Sergeant.
Trust me, Lieutenant, I am.
Where'd they go? It's hard to say, Lieutenant.
But they're quick little devils, aren't they? Well, my shift's up.
Good luck.
Get me a prisoner status report.
They're all here, Lieutenant, relax! Attention, vehicle 3-2-1-8-9, traveling at 64 miles above acceptable speed allowance.
Infraction level seven.
Nine hundred and thirteen dollars has been deducted from your social security account.
Thank you.
Come on, let's do that again.
Ah, I can't.
I'm already late.
So? So, I'm in the Navy.
Navy guys can't be late.
You're not in the Navy.
Well, I'm almost in the Navy.
Well, I'm almost your girlfriend.
I just got to sail up to New York.
No big deal or anything, just a parade for the new seaQuest.
And I got to be there on account that I'm one of the crew.
And the president is going to be there.
The president? Yeah, I guess he wants to see the new boat.
And what happened to the old boat? It sunk.
And what happens if this one sinks? I'll swim back to take you for another ride.
You better.
Very nice.
Very, very nice.
Captain, hi.
I was just waiting around here for you and then I met Cindy.
Cindy, this is my Captain.
Captain Bridger.
A captain? Right.
Yeah, and I'm going to be one too, someday, so relax.
How have you been, sir? Apparently not as well as you.
You know, we're shipping out at dawn.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I've been hanging around here for you.
Don't hang around for me.
I'm ready to go.
Are you packed? Not exactly.
I'll see you when I get back.
You'll wait for me, right? Hey, Mr.
Captain, that's a cool motorcycle.
Can I have a ride? I've got I've got enough points on my license already.
You guys are so boring.
I can't believe that, two seconds ago she was ready to give me a tonsillectomy.
Come on, get on, we'll go get your gear.
I like the beard, sir.
And I love the earring.
But it's not regulation.
How long have you known this girl? Ah, about 20 minutes.
Must have been a hell of a summer, huh? Oh, it was great.
You think she'll wait for me? Absolutely.
Really? Absolutely.
It's just a show of strength, Mariah.
Nothing more.
No.
It's what birthdays are for.
A celebration of what we've become.
We must have patience.
Patience? Patience is a feast for fools.
What we want is freedom.
Things are different now, Joseph.
What's happening with Sarah has made them different.
And that's why they must listen to us this time.
No, that is why this time we must fight.
Fighting is why they made us, and I won't dignify that mistake.
David, what are you doing? This is only supposed to be a demonstration.
A demonstration of our resolve.
Choose your sides, Matthew, or die here.
David, they're not going to kill us.
They can't.
It's not their law.
If we stay here, they already have.
You still up, huh, Matty? Yes, sir.
Yeah, well tomorrow's gonna be a big day.
You guys are all gonna be 21.
You know, that used to mean something once, used to mean that you were a man.
I am a man.
Have you been waiting for me? I'm always waiting for you.
You're a man.
A real one.
Yeah, and you're almost a woman.
I guess that's what makes this work so well, isn't it? Yes, it is.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Thank you, sir.
Welcome to seaQuest.
All visitors please report to the deck officer before proceeding.
Okay, folks, listen up! 'Cause I'm only going to go through this once.
Hi, how are you doing? Harmsen, Henderson, loki, Innes, Jamison, Johnston, Jones, Kellogg.
Enlisted crew quarters, deck 13, section L.
All maintenance personnel should report to engineering immediately after I'm Henderson, Lonnie Ellen, Fort Smith, Wyoming.
Did you call Henderson yet? Ah, did you call me? Yes, I did.
Ah, sorry, I didn't hear.
Ah, where do I go? All crew members must display holographic ID.
"Where do I go, sir?" Where do I go, sir? must display holographic ID.
First generation Navy, right? My father ran a solar station but I'm pretty good with the wrenches.
Sir.
Deck 13, section L.
Bunk 53.
Upper K.
And only one duffel per sailor, sailor.
Oh, but I need this, this is my Addison.
Addison? He doesn't take up a lot of room.
I'm afraid Addison is going to have to miss this tour, sailor.
Deck 13, section L.
Move it.
I could sing her to sleep until she gets used to being at sea, Commander.
Secure it, Ortiz.
You know if I remember correctly, last year you tried to smuggle your blanky aboard.
Ah, that was a blanket, and it was an heirloom.
My great grandmother knit that by hand.
No, it had little animals on it.
They were tigers raising their fists in triumph.
They were kittens waving bye-bye.
Here's your bunk-mate assignment.
Ah, I get to choose my own bunk-mate this tour, right? Last guy kept cutting his toenails and leaving them all over the floor.
Look, Ortiz, I got to have this boat ready for a parade around the Statue of Liberty by tonight.
We're leaving at dawn.
But the boat isn't even done yet.
The paint is still wet.
You ever stepped on someone else's toenails in your bare feet? I don't care about your bare feet.
O'Neill can't boot up the vidlink.
Bridger is missing in action.
Half the new crew's uniforms don't fit and the rest of them want to call their mommies.
It's very creepy.
Look, Ortiz, could you just go help O'Neill.
Okay.
Dr.
Smith on sea deck after Has anybody seen Captain Bridger? Ah, what do we think of the new seaQuest, pal? Feels good.
Feels great to be back again, doesn't it? Hello.
I'm Captain Bridger.
Have you been assigned to the seaQuest? I clean it.
Yes, it's very clean.
I'm not done yet.
You're an Alpha Model K, aren't you? I'm a dagger.
Well, that's kind of a nasty word.
That's what they call me.
You're a GELF? Yes.
If you want to, sir, Captain.
Sir, you can call me Dagwood.
Like a joke, Dagwood the Dagger.
It makes me laugh sometimes.
See? Welcome aboard.
You're gonna do just fine.
I'm not for sailing, sir, Captain, sir.
I was supposed to be effective fighting personnel.
But now I'm just effective cleaning personnel.
The fighting personnel part didn't work out very right.
I know that.
They said it was because I was the first.
The prototype.
So then they made a lot more of me.
Yeah, well that part didn't work out so well either.
Everything works out in some way.
I suppose so.
Reynolds! Hey, Reynolds.
Yeah, post 9-D.
You guys are on duty, corporal.
Yeah, we're on duty.
Hey, this is the duty here, Lieutenant.
Have you seen DeNado? It's not my turn to watch him, sir.
Did you check with his old lady? Sometimes DeNado gets home late and likes to sleep in.
No, he's not on his watch and where is everybody now? They're supposed to be exercising.
Look, everybody's here, Lieutenant.
But if you mean the daggers on their birthday, they usually do whatever they want.
Yeah, well I want you to find DeNado.
Look, we're in the middle of a game here, Lieutenant.
Find him, damn it! Then I'm writing you up.
Player one, victorious.
Yeah, well, do me a favor, write me a ticket off of this sandpile.
It's all right, Sarah.
Everything's going to be fine.
How do you know, Mariah? I mean, you've never done this.
None of us have.
Today is not the day for revolution, Mariah.
Today is the only day for revolution, Joseph.
What about the baby? What about our baby? This child will be born free.
What more can we ask for? We are people now.
And this baby proves it.
Hey, DeNado? Hey, where're you at, Ray? I tell you, Brody's on your tail, pal.
Oh, great.
What's the problem? Oh, this boat is two months from being finished, that's the problem.
Commander Ford, is that any better? Oh, yeah, lots.
Tony Martinez is beating Gorgeous George on points.
Yeah.
Miguel, can you get me an R-7 line-up, please.
Yeah.
And let's see if we can move this turbine vent.
I think it's causing interference in our free search field.
How!s that? Much better.
Now Woody Woodpecker's ahead on points, too.
Swell.
We've been polluting the universe with radio and television waves for the last hundred years.
And somehow seaQuest has turned into a giant antenna.
Hey, you know, I've never seen Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.
Do you think you could get that? I hear it's a classic.
Miguel, the turbine unit, please.
Thanks.
Come on, put your shoulder to the It's still not working, O'Neill.
Where's Captain Bridger? Looking for me, Commander? Where have you been? Oh, I mean, hello.
How are you? I'm fine.
Good, well.
Where have you been? Well I got in late, so I took a look at the boat and got some sleep.
Where's Lucas? Ah, he's resting.
He's had a tough summer.
How was your vacation? Excellent.
I took a course in the fractal theories of cold fusion.
Oh.
Don't ever change, Jonathan.
I wasn't planning on it.
How!s that? Oh, that's great, O'Neill.
Glad to have you back, Captain.
See that? I come on aboard and it starts ticking like a Swiss watch.
Oh, we have to be in New York for dinner.
Well, we got plenty of time.
I'm in the wardroom interviewing new officers.
Oh, don't flush the toilet.
Last time it was used it flooded the galley.
It seems our Swiss watch isn't quite water resistant yet.
It's just a shakedown cruise, Jonathan.
Relax.
Oh! I can!t move it! We!re gonna need some help, Captain! Let's go get them! Warning, structural collapse, Section D.
Oh! Come on.
I can't breathe! Get another air jack in here! Oh! Stand back, stand back.
I can help.
No, there's no room.
No go.
No.
Hey! Easy, O'Neill.
You can let that down now.
Where? Anywhere you want, pal.
Who is that? That's Dagwood.
He's a GELF.
A dagger? Hey, he saved my life.
Thanks.
Okay.
I am a dagger.
The prototype.
Can we keep him? I hope so.
That's up to him.
What do you say? Like I said before, sir, Captain, sir, everything works out in some way.
It would be good.
Let's get you to medbay.
Aye, sir.
This is Lieutenant Brody, we have a code red, repeat.
Code red security breech, repeat.
This is Lieutenant Brody, we have a code red.
Does anybody hear me? Escape module activated.
Launch Sequence engaged.
Three, two, one Our future! Our freedom! This is an S.
O.
S.
emergency beacon 1-7-9-3-C-5.
Repeat this is an S.
O.
S.
beacon 1-7-9-3-C-5.
Do you read? This is Lieutenant James Brody.
GELF colony in revolt.
Emergency beacon 1-7-9-3-C-5.
Is anybody out there? How's it going? I'm finding everything we need to know.
They got a restaurant here? I could go for some eggs Bennie.
You got a boat to catch.
Hey, what's the chance of you flat-heads letting me catch a wave or two before I start my new career? Two chances.
Zero, never and none.
Let me guess, you were a math major, right? You got a lot of attitude, Piccolo, I'll give you that.
Yeah, and it comes in two sizes, extra large and "Oh, my God.
" Heredity, Jack.
My old man was NYPD.
Yeah, you must of made him real proud.
Who knows, he took off with my aunt after they shook down a pretzel vendor in the east village.
Sounds like a very classy guy.
Yeah, the relatives are loaded with it.
Every Christmas we decorated the family tree with our arrest warrants.
But hey, what are holidays for, right? Piccolo, do you ever shut up? Only underwater, sir.
We have the hostages.
We make our demands.
That was the agreement.
That was our plan.
Everything's changed now, Joseph.
They made us to fight, but now we can be fathers and mothers.
Let's lead our children into the future without fear.
You forget too quickly, Joseph.
I'm sorry for that.
Don't feel sorry for me, Mariah.
Ever.
I would rather fight and die then live like this again in a zoo like an animal.
I won't leave my daughter.
We'll talk to the UEO.
They'll listen this time.
They have to, we have their men.
That's leverage, David.
No.
This is leverage.
I'm sorry, Joseph.
See who will join us, David.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This must be the wrong place.
I'm always doing that.
Doing what? Going to the wrong place when I'm suppose to be in another place.
But then it usually turns out to be the right place after all.
Do it all the time.
You do? Yeah.
I mean, when I was a kid they thought it was just luck, intuition, and then, you know, the big bugga-bugga.
I mean I could have made a fortune in Vegas.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, I'm I'm mesmerized.
I know.
Where can I find Captain Bridger? Bridger? He's me.
You're Captain Bridger? I thought you'd be older.
I'm working on it.
Oh, but older's good.
I mean, my father, he's older, I mean, he's much older.
But I like that in a dad.
I'm a traditionalist myself.
You must be Dr.
Smith.
Yes.
Sit down.
Thank you.
But please call me Wendy.
Well, not yet.
There's no need to be so formal.
We're going to be on this ship a long time, Nathan.
It's Captain.
And it's not a ship, it's a boat.
A boat is a vessel that can be carried on a ship, and seaQuest is too big, so, therefore it's a ship, Captain.
Third-generation Navy.
My mother is Admiral Lexington Fisher Smith.
Sexy-Lexy Smith is your mother? Not if you ask my father.
She She fired me from my first assignment.
Still a little angry, are we, Captain? What's that? Psycho-babble? I only took my residency in Psychiatry.
My PhD is Bio-Physics.
My passion is para-psychology.
I can bend keys and spoons.
I can read minds.
You can read minds and you didn't know I was the Captain? Well, it's a bit like golf, some days you just can't putt.
You're thinking, "This girl's as smart and pretty as her mother, but man, what a mouth.
" Hole in one, huh, Captain? Sorry, sir.
It's It's no problem.
It might be.
We have a military police launch requesting permission to board.
Did you check their security? They checked out, sir.
Open the launch bay.
We'll have to continue this at another time.
Well, it was a pleasure.
My mother told me you were a bit pretentious.
But I hardly noticed.
Oh, thanks.
Nice to meet you, Captain.
D-413 has arrived.
You were lucky to catch up with us.
You have no idea.
I need three signatures on the bottom.
Prisoner early release program.
Why seaQuest? He's an experimental.
UEO's placing hardship cases in places where they think they'll do the most good.
What's he like? Oh, he's a little rough around the edges, but, he's got a very healthy attitude.
Bring him down.
Thanks, Captain.
And hey, good luck with the new boat, huh? Thank you.
I'm Captain Bridger.
Seaman Anthony Piccolo, sir.
At ease, sailor.
Thanks.
Hey, nice digs.
What were you in for? Armed robbery, I held up a health food restaurant with a slice of pizza.
Come on, Cap, that's a joke.
Striking an officer.
Relax, he had it coming.
Any place to get a beer on this tug? Why don't you shove that tough guy routine back in your pocket? No can do, Cap.
It's my gig.
Later, Cap.
Security, we got a prisoner loose here.
Call ahead.
Stop him.
Prisoner headed your way Look out! Look out! Follow him.
Come on, Jonathan, we'll cut him off on the sea deck.
Captain, you're not going to believe it, but I got this guy swimming through the aqua tunnels.
I give up.
What is that thing? It's a dolphin.
I give everybody on this boat a second chance, but you're pushing it.
What the hell were you trying to do, kill yourself? No, I'm fine.
I was just trying to get out to the ocean.
Without oxygen? Come on, I'm an experimental.
When I was in the can, they asked for volunteers.
I raised my hand, that's how I got out early.
What is he talking about? No idea.
This is what I'm talking about.
I got gills.
I'm a surfer.
I figured they might come in handy.
Where are we going? UEO Headquarters.
When you want to slay the dragon, David, you go straight for its heart.
This just isn!t fair.
Lucas, it's part of growing up.
Can't I grow up in private? This kid is a hardship case.
He should have a role model.
What about Ortiz, huh? He got to pick his own roommate.
What about me? I got a room of my own.
Maybe I should take him in.
Make the best of it.
Great.
Hey, girls.
Whoa! Hey! Hey, kid, these yours? Yes, they're mine.
And the name is Lucas Wolenczak.
Whoa, Lucas Walen-what? Let's settle for Luke.
Tony Piccolo.
You really listen to this stuff? If you don't like it, don't listen to it.
Okay.
What did you do in here? What is this? What? The place needed serious babe-ing up.
Yeah, well.
Use your imagination, huh? Hey, that's good.
Maybe you're okay after all.
But a little visual stimulation never hurt anybody.
And this is my bunk.
Oh, yeah, dream on.
I will.
From up here.
I got a large lung capacity and I ain't gonna waste it breathing the bottom of your mattress.
Hand me the tape, will you? Captain, I've got a UEO Distress Beacon.
What's the location? I'm having trouble with my locators.
Well, keep on it.
Aye, sir.
I told you this would happen, but you insisted that we wire the P-12 connectors directly into the patch bay.
That's because we couldn't wire them anywhere but the patch bay.
You wanted to go to the parade.
I'll re-route through my console.
That should shortcut the patch bay.
Guess it helps to be the daughter of a solar station jockey.
Yes, sir.
I learned a lot from my father.
Uh-oh.
I thought we got rid of this.
Uh, we did, sir.
I mean, you did.
I mean I'm sorry.
It's sort of good luck, if you know what I mean.
You've had this thing a long time, haven't you? Yes, sir, since I was five.
And he's not a thing sir, remember, his name is Addison.
Addison.
We could use a little good luck on this boat.
There, that should work now.
Try it now, O'Neill.
Got it.
Beacon at 3,200 kilometers.
Let's go.
Okay, we got the capsule in sight.
Going in to check it out.
Launch seems to be okay.
We're gonna try and open the hatch.
You okay, soldier? Just throw in a couple of vidddisks, and who needs company? Humor under pressure.
I'm impressed.
Commander Jonathan Ford, UEO, seaQuest.
Lieutenant Jim Brody.
Ah, forgive me for not saluting, sir, but my arms fell asleep.
Were there any casualties? I had to get out of there pretty fast, sir.
The GELF population has lived peaceful ever since they were first created.
Not for the last six months or so.
Things have been changing around there, I don't know, subtle things.
It's hard to describe.
But they're artists and dancers.
Ah, they were bred to be warriors.
Wait a minute.
In the North Korean crisis, you were the Lieutenant Brody that led the stealth invasion.
Yes, sir.
But it's not something I like to brag about.
No, no, no, that was a nifty piece of work.
I'll be in my quarters.
So, what's the prognosis? Will I live? Not long enough to get me in the back seat of you '99 Trident and have me, what was it, "Check out your transmission?" Grow up, Lieutenant.
Did I say anything? The Secretary General has given me authority.
I need seaQuest, and I need her now.
SeaQuest may be ready for a parade, but she's not ready for active duty.
Make her ready.
We'll miss the parade.
Forget the parade! No parade.
Commander? Yes, sir.
Bring her around bearing two-eight-zero.
Engines full ahead.
Aye, Captain.
Nathan, take all and any necessary action.
There are still hostages on that island.
I!m aware of your predilection for harmony and understanding.
But these There!s no way to attempt understanding or reconciliation with something that came out of a test tube.
If you have to blow that island to hell and back, do it.
Do you need some water? Make sure this man gets some water.
If I were to respond like you, I would lose my right to pity you for what you are.
We've sent out some radio calls to the UEO.
But we're not getting any response.
Maybe Mariah was right, Joseph.
No, Matthew.
Sometimes it takes a sword to defeat a sword.
How are Sarah and the baby? Sarah is frightened and the baby, the baby looks like me.
Joseph, we've just contacted a UEO submarine.
They're 2,800 kilometers north, northeast of here and they're headed in this direction.
They want to talk.
We want to discuss the terms of our freedom.
The UEO will not negotiate as long as you have prisoners.
When we don!t have prisoners, we are prisoners, Captain.
I understand your feeling that way.
But if either side digs in, it's going to result in casualties.
The hostages are in no danger at the moment, Captain.
Please don!t make this any tougher on them.
Stall them, Joseph.
Just give me four hours.
I believe they're prepared to kill us, even if it means losing their men, Mariah.
In four hours, losing their men will seem like a day at the beach.
Mariah out.
You!Il have to reconsider.
This isn't the way he wants it.
Joseph, I have a feeling that this decision is not entirely your own.
There are others I have to consult, Captain.
However, the final decision is mine.
There are others that I have to consult, and the final decision isn't mine.
We will not release the hostages until we are guaranteed our freedom.
Get me General Thomas.
Aye, sir.
They're scrambling at 2,000 megahertz.
Try the standard decode algorithm.
It's conducting a secured transmission, Matthew.
There's nothing standard about this.
I!m not going to negotiate with you, Nathan.
This is a direct order.
I don!t care how you do it.
But if the GELFs fail to release the hostages, you will destroy the colony.
I'm rated triple A-six in demolitions.
I led the underwater demo team during that skirmish in Tonkin.
Tell me, is there anything you can't do? Yeah, I'm having one heck of a time learning the bagpipes.
Oh, bet you look good in a skirt.
Somebody needs to get in and disarm the security system.
Lieutenant, tell me, if I wanted to get 20 armed men onto that island under the cover of darkness, what am I looking at? Well, the UEO's got sensor registers surrounding the colony.
My guess is the GELFs know how to use them.
So, you can't get a man within Suppose they were unarmed or carrying plastic weapons? No.
They're using quartz-sonar equipment.
Anything more dense than a fingernail, a simple breathing unit, even a wetsuit, and they'd be alerted in a second flat.
So I swim in, get your guys in undetected.
What's in it for me? What's in it for you? You get to do something worthwhile.
Worthwhile isn't in my vocabulary.
It is now, or you're back in the brig.
You know, nobody on this boat has a sense of humor.
I do.
Wait to you see what you do when you come back.
Is that supposed to be funny? Get going.
You will hear many things about your parents, about who you are and where you came from.
Keep the truth in your heart and always take it with you.
I can't let you die with me.
The main complex is here.
The officer and staff quarters come out on this hub.
The yard is the most central area and it gives them a My best guess is this is where they've got their hostages.
So in short, even if Piccolo manages to slip through their sensors, there's no way to get the rest of the men into the colony without being spotted.
Unless they're being led by someone who knows the island and has ground combat experience.
Don't tell me.
You were the first to hit the beach at Normandy.
Ah, if I were a century older, you could count on it.
You!re not going to believe this, Captain.
Check out the sea view.
Sea Deck.
Nothing.
No readings of any kinds of electronics or explosives.
Beyond that Oh, my God, get it open.
Hey.
Hi, there.
A GELF baby? They aren't supposed to be able to reproduce.
Well, he sure looks like the real thing to me.
If this is their baby, that means they're becoming human.
Come here, come here, yeah.
Come here.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Find me General Thomas.
Okay.
He's on the sixth floor.
I'm deactivating all elevator and corridor sensors.
I can't control the sixth floor from here.
We'll come down from the seventh.
Let's go.
We've already got leaks, Frank.
We're getting complaints and concerns from the human rights whiners.
Now we've got to have a position on this.
We do have a position.
They're not human.
What in God's name do you think you're doing? God had nothing to do with this, General.
You're responsible for what we are.
You created us.
Let's go.
Captain, bringing a sector seven prisoner aboard seaQuest is strictly against UEO policy.
She's not a prisoner, Jonathan.
She's a baby.
And what a little heartbreaker, Commander? Don't look at me.
You're the one who's a father.
Yeah, not for many, many years.
Sounds like a little gas.
I'm here.
Here we go.
I practically raised my sister's kid.
Where was your sister? Prison.
It's all right, you can come in.
Here.
No.
My hands are too big.
How's Lucas doing trying to dig us up some information? He's doing fine.
I'm only trying to save you time.
Yeah, well, don't bother.
I've been hacking into secured data bases since I was nine.
Yeah, but you can't hack into something that doesn't exist.
All records on the GELF experiments were destroyed.
I mean, even if you find someone, they'd never come forward.
Half of them still face prosecution.
Let me try.
We're talking the dark ages of genetics, here, Lucas.
Scientists playing God, desperate to get into the genetic soldier business.
I did my thesis on ecological integrities.
To obtain military superiority in nuclear and chemical war, ground forces have to survive in less than eight percent oxygen.
I mean, that way, if they lost their human quotient, genetic personnel could continue to make war.
How humanitarian.
Yeah, well, they were.
They developed the oxygen regenerators for those that might survive.
Which is a good thing, considering we destroyed all the rain forests.
I mean, without the oxygen regenerators, we'd all suffocate.
So basically, we owe the military for the air we breathe? Something like that.
Access confirmed.
Ah, here we go.
Captain Bridger, UEO headquarters has been breached.
The GELFs have taken General Thomas and a fully-armed Navis-18 sub.
All right, listen up.
The UEO Military Headquarters has been attacked, and General Thomas was taken prisoner in a Navis-18 submersible.
That's a major piece of equipment, sir.
It certainly is.
Fully operational, cleared in stealth and satellite recon, all phases of extreme R-7 evasives.
An undetectable, self-contained war station.
Isn't that what I just said? All right, that enough.
Let's find the submarine.
I'll die before I cooperate.
I doubt that.
Your background in cooperation is well documented.
What are you talking about? The Korean conflict in 2010.
You were captured along with three of your men, but you managed to come out alive.
I escaped.
You're a politician, General, not a soldier.
Survival is in your genes.
Look, I need your help.
Sorry.
Two seconds.
Look, could you just help me out.
No way, Lucas.
It's not my shift.
I'll pay you.
Not me.
I hate kids.
It's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Okay, come on.
Lucas, babies have different cries for different problems.
You got to learn to listen.
Her diaper needs changing.
You can hear that? No, I can smell that.
Put her on the table.
Thanks.
I own you one.
Here.
You sure you don't wanna do this? No, go ahead.
Trust me.
It's good for the soul.
Okay.
Oh! That's what they do, Lucas.
Hey, Lucas, hurry up.
You realize that this one act of terrorism negates all our negotiations.
Please.
Don!t hurt my baby.
Your baby is doing fine.
We stand as one, Captain.
I!m sorry you can!t understand that.
They don't know, Captain.
He's telling you the truth.
I understand what a miracle this baby is for you.
It must have been very hard for you to let her go.
It was my only choice.
We intercepted the general!s message ordering you to detonate the island.
We had no intention of following that order.
Why should we believe you? Joseph, I was at the GELF colony long enough for you to know that not all of us lie to you.
Captain Bridger is one of those people.
We all want to help, so please end this thing before that chance slips away.
The power to end this is with you.
Confirm.
Thomas, Francis Gideon, General, United Earth Oceans.
Please enter UEO Passive level identity code now.
Identity code accepted.
Enter vector codes and sat-com initiatives.
Thank you for your cooperation, General.
Now wait a minute, that's a very sophisticated piece of weaponry.
I know.
Target the air regeneration station in the Congo region, David.
With pleasure.
Those air exchangers produce the oxygen in our atmosphere.
You destroy them, you kill us all.
We require less than eight percent oxygen to survive, General.
You humans need three times that much.
If I destroy four of these plants, the world is left with eight percent.
You die, we live.
She just turned an S-10 defense satellite around on the Congo regeneration air exchange and blew it to hell.
She's going to suffocate us all.
At 07: 19 Greenwich time today, a terrorist attack by unknown persons destroyed the Congo Basin Atmospheric Regeneration Station in the African Confederation state of New Zaire.
A part of the planet-wide atmospheric regeneration system, the Congo Station was constructed in 2014 following the clear-cutting of the Equatorial African rain forest.
The ARS System is only a supplement to the normal generation of breathable oxygen by the earth!s ecosystems.
Officials say the loss of the station will have no discernable impact on citizens! lives.
How many of these stations can we afford to lose before it impacts on our lives? I'm on it.
Since the plankton die-off after the Beta-9 toxic spill? Four stations.
Yeah, if they destroy the four largest stations, all human life will die, except the GELFs.
Greetings, citizens of the UEO.
I wish I could call you my fellow citizens, but that is something your leaders have always forbidden.
My skin reflects all the colors of mankind, and if you cut me, I bleed.
But there is one difference.
We don!t need as much oxygen as you.
I!ve seized control of anti-missile satellite weapons system number 12 known as the Ronald Reagan Memorial Laser Space Base, and I!ve used it to destroy the first of the ten air regeneration stations that keep this planet breathing.
Oh, my God.
Unless your leaders recognize our humanity and equality as citizens, I!m going to atomize the other nine.
We want the freedom to raise our children in peace.
I!m going to keep destroying these plants at the rate of one an hour until the UEO accedes to my demands.
Give her what she wants.
UEO Policy prohibits negotiating with terrorists.
Human beings in violation of international law are terrorists.
Are you saying that she!s human? No.
UEO Policy gives great deference to the views of the senior commander in charge at the scene.
In this case, that would be you.
Now, I!ve been in touch with the people in the GELF colony, and they only want what everyone else wants, their freedom.
I suggest you give it to them.
Is the baby good? The baby is very good, Dagwood.
It's remarkable.
Congratulations.
Dagwood is a brother now.
In a way.
A cousin? Actually, more like an uncle.
You share some of the same DNA characteristics, same gene pool, skin colors, she even has your nose.
Is that good? Yes.
But her fundamental life category data doesn't correspond with yours.
Not completely.
It suggests that she's a human.
Her lung capacity, her oxygen needs, her blood pressure, all are human.
But daggers aren't human.
We didn't have a god that made us, we had a man that made us.
I'm afraid this little girl had a god, Dagwood.
How? Spontaneous evolution.
The UEO Senate has confirmed citizenship for your people and granted you amnesty.
I suppose you want to collect your friends from the colony now.
I!d like to collect General Thomas, too.
He's been delightful company.
Will you contact your people on the island and arrange for the transfer? Of course.
Thank you.
Welcome to the human race.
Thank you.
What are you doing? I'm human.
I learned how to lie.
But you won.
I spent 20 years in prison.
I'm not going to start believing them now.
The New England plant will be next, David.
Spontaneous evolution? That's right.
Spontaneous evolution is an oxymoron, doctor.
It's like military intelligence.
One cancels out the other.
Well, then what would you call it? Well, you should be able to tell me.
Or the word ridiculous keeps coming up, but I think that mainly applies to your opinion of me.
Well, don't take that personally.
A man's mind used to be his castle.
This baby is human.
How? I don't know.
Speculate.
Well, this might sound somewhat anthropomorphic, but applying human characteristics to non-human life is a place to start, Captain.
But when a living thing, I mean, whether it's a water bug or a ballet dancer, becomes self aware, they start taking the necessary steps to stay alive.
I mean, it's evolutional, it's survival.
A flower will bend towards the morning sun, birds fly south in the winter.
I mean, dolphins learn to talk.
Make your point.
The GELFs became self-aware.
I mean, they began to engage in the social intercourse of community, they shared feelings.
I mean, first it was probably fear, then anger, then maybe hope.
And then they wanted their freedom.
I mean, because they had become autonomous, they become their own species.
And once that happened, nature took over.
I mean, nature needs to protect life.
I mean, if it didn't the universe would die.
Are you talking nature or some divine force? Why, semantics, I mean, take your pick.
I mean, but somehow it knew that the only way the GELFs could survive was to take the next evolutionary step which is to become human.
And then they began to procreate.
This GELF baby has all the physiological characteristics of a human being, Captain.
The GELF terrorists are continuing to destroy the air exchange plants.
Captain Bridger, abandon hostage exchange and engage the hijacked UEO submarine.
Necessary sanction with extreme prejudice.
I thought we had a deal.
I thought so, too.
I'm sorry, doctor.
They're human after all.
Full attack procedure, Commander.
Aye, Captain.
Red alert.
Battle stations.
All hands to battle stations.
O'Neill, do we have her location? I can't break the code, sir.
I can.
That used to be my sub.
Input code two baker one five victor seven.
Access confirmed.
Got it.
Is there anything I can do, Captain? I think Henderson could use some support.
You've got it.
Captain, New England quadrant losing oxygen.
Outer regions Eighteen percent and dropping.
What's our estimated time of engagement, Commander? Seventeen minutes.
I'm Lucas.
Ah, I'm Scared? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Me, too.
Helmsman Henderson.
Helms-man? Helms-person.
Let's just go by first names, huh? Sure.
I'm Lonnie.
I'm Lucas.
You already told me that.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Lucas, thanks.
It's seaQuest.
How did they find us? I don't know, but we can't shake them, we're at maximum.
She's just ahead, sir.
I see her.
Say with her now, stay with her.
It's time to turn and fight.
We can take her out, Captain.
No, no, no, it's her move.
SeaQuest is within weaponry perimeters.
Do it.
Enemy torpedoes coming at us dead ahead at 12 o'clock, impact in 31 seconds.
Arm full counter attack.
Not yet, Commander.
Piccolo, go up there and assist Ortiz.
Yes, sir.
Load intercepts.
Intercepts loaded, sir.
Fire intercepts.
Intercepts fired, sir.
It's going to be okay.
Fire again.
Second barrage of enemy torpedoes underway, sir.
Fire intercepts! Intercepts fired, sir.
We have to counter, sir.
Maximum attack levels.
No we don't.
She's out of torpedoes.
Get me Mariah on the vidlink.
Aye, aye, sir.
Destroy us, Mr.
Bridger.
But we will have plenty of time to destroy the last of your needed air supply.
And destroy yourselves as well? I!m willing to die.
My people will live on.
No, they won't.
You see this baby, this baby is human.
Like us.
She needs to breathe the same way we do.
You!re lying.
No.
I'm not.
But it's up to you to believe that.
Look at this child.
Can you take that risk? I'm telling you the truth, Mariah.
The only risk would be believing any of you.
I!ve never heard the truth from your kind before.
It's true.
These people have never lied to me before.
And I should know, I'm almost her uncle.
But you!re my brother.
Then believe me.
I do.
Ah, look at that.
Captain Bridger.
What will happen to Mariah and our brothers? Well, they've broken our laws and they'll have to live by that, and you'll have to live by those laws as well.
Now you have your freedom.
Congratulations.
But what will we do now? That is a question that free men have been asking themselves since time immemorial.
I can only wish you good luck.
Thanks.
She looks just like him.
Excuse me.
I think we owe you something.
You do.
We do.
Why? You told the truth.
I didn't know what else to tell.
I know that.
That's why I want to thank you.
Um, I better go back to work.
You don't want Dagwood to work here anymore? Yes, just forget that.
Welcome aboard.
Thursday.
Tuesday.
Friday.
I was hoping you were Saturday.
Ah, thank God.
You found Addison.
Addison? I've been looking all over for him.
Who? I can't sleep without him.
Oh, there, some guys have all the luck.
You think that's weird, don't you? You're talking to a guy who organizes his underwear by the day.
Um, you did really well up there, Henderson.
For your first time and everything, I mean.
I was afraid.
Who wasn't? You know, I think I'm going to like it here.
You got your Thursday's in the Tuesday pile.
I hate it when that happens.
Oh You do this, too? Doesn't everybody? Goodnight.
Friday.
Come on, Piccolo, stop showing off and just deal.
I like showing off, it's what I'm good at.
Is there anything you're not good at? Not lately.
Okay, here we go.
The game is Black Mariah, Chicago style.
Spade both, but it's only alive when it's under.
One-eyed Jack is wild, first red two showing gets an automatic card.
Suicide king cancels the hand, ante is progressive, straights can walk around the corner and a four flush beats a pair.
High card only wins with the dealer.
Any questions? Is this the guy that invented "Crazy Eights?" A simple game for a simple mind, Ortiz.
I agree with that.
All right, who's in? Ah, yeah, I'm in.
Yeah, me, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in.
Okay, dealer's in and he has all the power.
So he's raising them.
History, Ortiz, killed by the dead king.
Tough luck.
I'm out.
Oh, and I'm still in.
Here we go.
And I raise everybody.
I'm gone.
He's bluffing.
I know, but I can't breathe.
All right then, it's to you, Luke.
What do you say? I I get the top bunk.
Pretty gutsy, cuz.
Yeah, well, I've got a large lung capacity.
Too bad, killer trip sixes with the spade queen covered.
Shouldn't play with the big boys.
Full boat Jacks, high ace under.
I'm sorry.
You're gonna have to dream on from the bottom bunk.
I read that.
Oh, yeah? First half is okay, but the ending The police captain is the murderer.
Pretty predictable, huh? Yeah, it is now.
Hey, nothing worse than reading a whole book and realizing the ending stinks, right? Well, I can think of a few things, actually.
Like not being given the opportunity to make that determination on my own.
Waste of time.
And from what I hear, the crew of this tug has wasted enough of it.
Oh, come on, Commander, you guys a sank a $10-billion boat last year.
It was for a higher good.
It doesn't matter.
So the Captain wants me to sign on to help make sure that doesn't happen again.
You're kidding, right? Would I kid about a thing like that? I hope so.
You know, we can be friends.
It's a long tour, Jim, why don't we just think about that.
We don't have time.
Bridger told me I'm rooming with you until they finish remodeling my quarters.
What's wrong with your quarters? No place to put the pool table.
Must display holographic ID imprints.
Maintenance crew report to sector four immediately.
Prisoner release mode engaged.
Time to let the animals out of their cages.
Welcome back, sir.
Well, how was the vacation, Lieutenant Brody? Nice, Reynolds.
Open the gate.
Ah, you got the password? Just open the gate! Yes, sir! What's going on, DeNado? I'll tell you what's going on.
They're up to something, Lieutenant.
I can feel it.
Ah, they're always up to something this time of year.
Tomorrow is their birthday.
Some birthday.
Twenty years ago 50 test tubes get poured out into a petri dish, and that's why we get to baby-sit a bunch of camouflaged freaks.
They're not freaks.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
"GELFs," Genetically Engineered Life Forms.
But it was a failed experiment, Jimmy.
Just like those dead astronauts we got stuck up there circling in the milky way.
You're a real humanitarian, DeNado.
I'm a UEO lifer.
They're alive, DeNado.
Come on, they can't even reproduce.
They were just supposed to be soldiers, the perfect jarheads out there dying for the holy cause of the moment, you know.
If you hate them so much, DeNado, why'd you sign up for this? Because when some young Louie like you ain't around bleeding through his heart for these "Genetically mismanaged GELFs," I'm in charge.
Then you better make the most of it, Sergeant.
Trust me, Lieutenant, I am.
Where'd they go? It's hard to say, Lieutenant.
But they're quick little devils, aren't they? Well, my shift's up.
Good luck.
Get me a prisoner status report.
They're all here, Lieutenant, relax! Attention, vehicle 3-2-1-8-9, traveling at 64 miles above acceptable speed allowance.
Infraction level seven.
Nine hundred and thirteen dollars has been deducted from your social security account.
Thank you.
Come on, let's do that again.
Ah, I can't.
I'm already late.
So? So, I'm in the Navy.
Navy guys can't be late.
You're not in the Navy.
Well, I'm almost in the Navy.
Well, I'm almost your girlfriend.
I just got to sail up to New York.
No big deal or anything, just a parade for the new seaQuest.
And I got to be there on account that I'm one of the crew.
And the president is going to be there.
The president? Yeah, I guess he wants to see the new boat.
And what happened to the old boat? It sunk.
And what happens if this one sinks? I'll swim back to take you for another ride.
You better.
Very nice.
Very, very nice.
Captain, hi.
I was just waiting around here for you and then I met Cindy.
Cindy, this is my Captain.
Captain Bridger.
A captain? Right.
Yeah, and I'm going to be one too, someday, so relax.
How have you been, sir? Apparently not as well as you.
You know, we're shipping out at dawn.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I've been hanging around here for you.
Don't hang around for me.
I'm ready to go.
Are you packed? Not exactly.
I'll see you when I get back.
You'll wait for me, right? Hey, Mr.
Captain, that's a cool motorcycle.
Can I have a ride? I've got I've got enough points on my license already.
You guys are so boring.
I can't believe that, two seconds ago she was ready to give me a tonsillectomy.
Come on, get on, we'll go get your gear.
I like the beard, sir.
And I love the earring.
But it's not regulation.
How long have you known this girl? Ah, about 20 minutes.
Must have been a hell of a summer, huh? Oh, it was great.
You think she'll wait for me? Absolutely.
Really? Absolutely.
It's just a show of strength, Mariah.
Nothing more.
No.
It's what birthdays are for.
A celebration of what we've become.
We must have patience.
Patience? Patience is a feast for fools.
What we want is freedom.
Things are different now, Joseph.
What's happening with Sarah has made them different.
And that's why they must listen to us this time.
No, that is why this time we must fight.
Fighting is why they made us, and I won't dignify that mistake.
David, what are you doing? This is only supposed to be a demonstration.
A demonstration of our resolve.
Choose your sides, Matthew, or die here.
David, they're not going to kill us.
They can't.
It's not their law.
If we stay here, they already have.
You still up, huh, Matty? Yes, sir.
Yeah, well tomorrow's gonna be a big day.
You guys are all gonna be 21.
You know, that used to mean something once, used to mean that you were a man.
I am a man.
Have you been waiting for me? I'm always waiting for you.
You're a man.
A real one.
Yeah, and you're almost a woman.
I guess that's what makes this work so well, isn't it? Yes, it is.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Thank you, sir.
Welcome to seaQuest.
All visitors please report to the deck officer before proceeding.
Okay, folks, listen up! 'Cause I'm only going to go through this once.
Hi, how are you doing? Harmsen, Henderson, loki, Innes, Jamison, Johnston, Jones, Kellogg.
Enlisted crew quarters, deck 13, section L.
All maintenance personnel should report to engineering immediately after I'm Henderson, Lonnie Ellen, Fort Smith, Wyoming.
Did you call Henderson yet? Ah, did you call me? Yes, I did.
Ah, sorry, I didn't hear.
Ah, where do I go? All crew members must display holographic ID.
"Where do I go, sir?" Where do I go, sir? must display holographic ID.
First generation Navy, right? My father ran a solar station but I'm pretty good with the wrenches.
Sir.
Deck 13, section L.
Bunk 53.
Upper K.
And only one duffel per sailor, sailor.
Oh, but I need this, this is my Addison.
Addison? He doesn't take up a lot of room.
I'm afraid Addison is going to have to miss this tour, sailor.
Deck 13, section L.
Move it.
I could sing her to sleep until she gets used to being at sea, Commander.
Secure it, Ortiz.
You know if I remember correctly, last year you tried to smuggle your blanky aboard.
Ah, that was a blanket, and it was an heirloom.
My great grandmother knit that by hand.
No, it had little animals on it.
They were tigers raising their fists in triumph.
They were kittens waving bye-bye.
Here's your bunk-mate assignment.
Ah, I get to choose my own bunk-mate this tour, right? Last guy kept cutting his toenails and leaving them all over the floor.
Look, Ortiz, I got to have this boat ready for a parade around the Statue of Liberty by tonight.
We're leaving at dawn.
But the boat isn't even done yet.
The paint is still wet.
You ever stepped on someone else's toenails in your bare feet? I don't care about your bare feet.
O'Neill can't boot up the vidlink.
Bridger is missing in action.
Half the new crew's uniforms don't fit and the rest of them want to call their mommies.
It's very creepy.
Look, Ortiz, could you just go help O'Neill.
Okay.
Dr.
Smith on sea deck after Has anybody seen Captain Bridger? Ah, what do we think of the new seaQuest, pal? Feels good.
Feels great to be back again, doesn't it? Hello.
I'm Captain Bridger.
Have you been assigned to the seaQuest? I clean it.
Yes, it's very clean.
I'm not done yet.
You're an Alpha Model K, aren't you? I'm a dagger.
Well, that's kind of a nasty word.
That's what they call me.
You're a GELF? Yes.
If you want to, sir, Captain.
Sir, you can call me Dagwood.
Like a joke, Dagwood the Dagger.
It makes me laugh sometimes.
See? Welcome aboard.
You're gonna do just fine.
I'm not for sailing, sir, Captain, sir.
I was supposed to be effective fighting personnel.
But now I'm just effective cleaning personnel.
The fighting personnel part didn't work out very right.
I know that.
They said it was because I was the first.
The prototype.
So then they made a lot more of me.
Yeah, well that part didn't work out so well either.
Everything works out in some way.
I suppose so.
Reynolds! Hey, Reynolds.
Yeah, post 9-D.
You guys are on duty, corporal.
Yeah, we're on duty.
Hey, this is the duty here, Lieutenant.
Have you seen DeNado? It's not my turn to watch him, sir.
Did you check with his old lady? Sometimes DeNado gets home late and likes to sleep in.
No, he's not on his watch and where is everybody now? They're supposed to be exercising.
Look, everybody's here, Lieutenant.
But if you mean the daggers on their birthday, they usually do whatever they want.
Yeah, well I want you to find DeNado.
Look, we're in the middle of a game here, Lieutenant.
Find him, damn it! Then I'm writing you up.
Player one, victorious.
Yeah, well, do me a favor, write me a ticket off of this sandpile.
It's all right, Sarah.
Everything's going to be fine.
How do you know, Mariah? I mean, you've never done this.
None of us have.
Today is not the day for revolution, Mariah.
Today is the only day for revolution, Joseph.
What about the baby? What about our baby? This child will be born free.
What more can we ask for? We are people now.
And this baby proves it.
Hey, DeNado? Hey, where're you at, Ray? I tell you, Brody's on your tail, pal.
Oh, great.
What's the problem? Oh, this boat is two months from being finished, that's the problem.
Commander Ford, is that any better? Oh, yeah, lots.
Tony Martinez is beating Gorgeous George on points.
Yeah.
Miguel, can you get me an R-7 line-up, please.
Yeah.
And let's see if we can move this turbine vent.
I think it's causing interference in our free search field.
How!s that? Much better.
Now Woody Woodpecker's ahead on points, too.
Swell.
We've been polluting the universe with radio and television waves for the last hundred years.
And somehow seaQuest has turned into a giant antenna.
Hey, you know, I've never seen Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.
Do you think you could get that? I hear it's a classic.
Miguel, the turbine unit, please.
Thanks.
Come on, put your shoulder to the It's still not working, O'Neill.
Where's Captain Bridger? Looking for me, Commander? Where have you been? Oh, I mean, hello.
How are you? I'm fine.
Good, well.
Where have you been? Well I got in late, so I took a look at the boat and got some sleep.
Where's Lucas? Ah, he's resting.
He's had a tough summer.
How was your vacation? Excellent.
I took a course in the fractal theories of cold fusion.
Oh.
Don't ever change, Jonathan.
I wasn't planning on it.
How!s that? Oh, that's great, O'Neill.
Glad to have you back, Captain.
See that? I come on aboard and it starts ticking like a Swiss watch.
Oh, we have to be in New York for dinner.
Well, we got plenty of time.
I'm in the wardroom interviewing new officers.
Oh, don't flush the toilet.
Last time it was used it flooded the galley.
It seems our Swiss watch isn't quite water resistant yet.
It's just a shakedown cruise, Jonathan.
Relax.
Oh! I can!t move it! We!re gonna need some help, Captain! Let's go get them! Warning, structural collapse, Section D.
Oh! Come on.
I can't breathe! Get another air jack in here! Oh! Stand back, stand back.
I can help.
No, there's no room.
No go.
No.
Hey! Easy, O'Neill.
You can let that down now.
Where? Anywhere you want, pal.
Who is that? That's Dagwood.
He's a GELF.
A dagger? Hey, he saved my life.
Thanks.
Okay.
I am a dagger.
The prototype.
Can we keep him? I hope so.
That's up to him.
What do you say? Like I said before, sir, Captain, sir, everything works out in some way.
It would be good.
Let's get you to medbay.
Aye, sir.
This is Lieutenant Brody, we have a code red, repeat.
Code red security breech, repeat.
This is Lieutenant Brody, we have a code red.
Does anybody hear me? Escape module activated.

Is anybody out there? How's it going? I'm finding everything we need to know.
They got a restaurant here? I could go for some eggs Bennie.
You got a boat to catch.
Hey, what's the chance of you flat-heads letting me catch a wave or two before I start my new career? Two chances.
Zero, never and none.
Let me guess, you were a math major, right? You got a lot of attitude, Piccolo, I'll give you that.
Yeah, and it comes in two sizes, extra large and "Oh, my God.
" Heredity, Jack.
My old man was NYPD.
Yeah, you must of made him real proud.
Who knows, he took off with my aunt after they shook down a pretzel vendor in the east village.
Sounds like a very classy guy.
Yeah, the relatives are loaded with it.
Every Christmas we decorated the family tree with our arrest warrants.
But hey, what are holidays for, right? Piccolo, do you ever shut up? Only underwater, sir.
We have the hostages.
We make our demands.
That was the agreement.
That was our plan.
Everything's changed now, Joseph.
They made us to fight, but now we can be fathers and mothers.
Let's lead our children into the future without fear.
You forget too quickly, Joseph.
I'm sorry for that.
Don't feel sorry for me, Mariah.
Ever.
I would rather fight and die then live like this again in a zoo like an animal.
I won't leave my daughter.
We'll talk to the UEO.
They'll listen this time.
They have to, we have their men.
That's leverage, David.
No.
This is leverage.
I'm sorry, Joseph.
See who will join us, David.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This must be the wrong place.
I'm always doing that.
Doing what? Going to the wrong place when I'm suppose to be in another place.
But then it usually turns out to be the right place after all.
Do it all the time.
You do? Yeah.
I mean, when I was a kid they thought it was just luck, intuition, and then, you know, the big bugga-bugga.
I mean I could have made a fortune in Vegas.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, I'm I'm mesmerized.
I know.
Where can I find Captain Bridger? Bridger? He's me.
You're Captain Bridger? I thought you'd be older.
I'm working on it.
Oh, but older's good.
I mean, my father, he's older, I mean, he's much older.
But I like that in a dad.
I'm a traditionalist myself.
You must be Dr.
Smith.
Yes.
Sit down.
Thank you.
But please call me Wendy.
Well, not yet.
There's no need to be so formal.
We're going to be on this ship a long time, Nathan.
It's Captain.
And it's not a ship, it's a boat.
A boat is a vessel that can be carried on a ship, and seaQuest is too big, so, therefore it's a ship, Captain.
Third-generation Navy.
My mother is Admiral Lexington Fisher Smith.
Sexy-Lexy Smith is your mother? Not if you ask my father.
She She fired me from my first assignment.
Still a little angry, are we, Captain? What's that? Psycho-babble? I only took my residency in Psychiatry.
My PhD is Bio-Physics.
My passion is para-psychology.
I can bend keys and spoons.
I can read minds.
You can read minds and you didn't know I was the Captain? Well, it's a bit like golf, some days you just can't putt.
You're thinking, "This girl's as smart and pretty as her mother, but man, what a mouth.
" Hole in one, huh, Captain? Sorry, sir.
It's It's no problem.
It might be.
We have a military police launch requesting permission to board.
Did you check their security? They checked out, sir.
Open the launch bay.
We'll have to continue this at another time.
Well, it was a pleasure.
My mother told me you were a bit pretentious.
But I hardly noticed.
Oh, thanks.
Nice to meet you, Captain.
D-413 has arrived.
You were lucky to catch up with us.
You have no idea.
I need three signatures on the bottom.
Prisoner early release program.
Why seaQuest? He's an experimental.
UEO's placing hardship cases in places where they think they'll do the most good.
What's he like? Oh, he's a little rough around the edges, but, he's got a very healthy attitude.
Bring him down.
Thanks, Captain.
And hey, good luck with the new boat, huh? Thank you.
I'm Captain Bridger.
Seaman Anthony Piccolo, sir.
At ease, sailor.
Thanks.
Hey, nice digs.
What were you in for? Armed robbery, I held up a health food restaurant with a slice of pizza.
Come on, Cap, that's a joke.
Striking an officer.
Relax, he had it coming.
Any place to get a beer on this tug? Why don't you shove that tough guy routine back in your pocket? No can do, Cap.
It's my gig.
Later, Cap.
Security, we got a prisoner loose here.
Call ahead.
Stop him.
Prisoner headed your way Look out! Look out! Follow him.
Come on, Jonathan, we'll cut him off on the sea deck.
Captain, you're not going to believe it, but I got this guy swimming through the aqua tunnels.
I give up.
What is that thing? It's a dolphin.
I give everybody on this boat a second chance, but you're pushing it.
What the hell were you trying to do, kill yourself? No, I'm fine.
I was just trying to get out to the ocean.
Without oxygen? Come on, I'm an experimental.
When I was in the can, they asked for volunteers.
I raised my hand, that's how I got out early.
What is he talking about? No idea.
This is what I'm talking about.
I got gills.
I'm a surfer.
I figured they might come in handy.
Where are we going? UEO Headquarters.
When you want to slay the dragon, David, you go straight for its heart.
This just isn!t fair.
Lucas, it's part of growing up.
Can't I grow up in private? This kid is a hardship case.
He should have a role model.
What about Ortiz, huh? He got to pick his own roommate.
What about me? I got a room of my own.
Maybe I should take him in.
Make the best of it.
Great.
Hey, girls.
Whoa! Hey! Hey, kid, these yours? Yes, they're mine.
And the name is Lucas Wolenczak.
Whoa, Lucas Walen-what? Let's settle for Luke.
Tony Piccolo.
You really listen to this stuff? If you don't like it, don't listen to it.
Okay.
What did you do in here? What is this? What? The place needed serious babe-ing up.
Yeah, well.
Use your imagination, huh? Hey, that's good.
Maybe you're okay after all.
But a little visual stimulation never hurt anybody.
And this is my bunk.
Oh, yeah, dream on.
I will.
From up here.
I got a large lung capacity and I ain't gonna waste it breathing the bottom of your mattress.
Hand me the tape, will you? Captain, I've got a UEO Distress Beacon.
What's the location? I'm having trouble with my locators.
Well, keep on it.
Aye, sir.
I told you this would happen, but you insisted that we wire the P-12 connectors directly into the patch bay.
That's because we couldn't wire them anywhere but the patch bay.
You wanted to go to the parade.
I'll re-route through my console.
That should shortcut the patch bay.
Guess it helps to be the daughter of a solar station jockey.
Yes, sir.
I learned a lot from my father.
Uh-oh.
I thought we got rid of this.
Uh, we did, sir.
I mean, you did.
I mean I'm sorry.
It's sort of good luck, if you know what I mean.
You've had this thing a long time, haven't you? Yes, sir, since I was five.
And he's not a thing sir, remember, his name is Addison.
Addison.
We could use a little good luck on this boat.
There, that should work now.
Try it now, O'Neill.
Got it.
Beacon at 3,200 kilometers.
Let's go.
Okay, we got the capsule in sight.
Going in to check it out.
Launch seems to be okay.
We're gonna try and open the hatch.
You okay, soldier? Just throw in a couple of vidddisks, and who needs company? Humor under pressure.
I'm impressed.
Commander Jonathan Ford, UEO, seaQuest.
Lieutenant Jim Brody.
Ah, forgive me for not saluting, sir, but my arms fell asleep.
Were there any casualties? I had to get out of there pretty fast, sir.
The GELF population has lived peaceful ever since they were first created.
Not for the last six months or so.
Things have been changing around there, I don't know, subtle things.
It's hard to describe.
But they're artists and dancers.
Ah, they were bred to be warriors.
Wait a minute.
In the North Korean crisis, you were the Lieutenant Brody that led the stealth invasion.
Yes, sir.
But it's not something I like to brag about.
No, no, no, that was a nifty piece of work.
I'll be in my quarters.
So, what's the prognosis? Will I live? Not long enough to get me in the back seat of you '99 Trident and have me, what was it, "Check out your transmission?" Grow up, Lieutenant.
Did I say anything? The Secretary General has given me authority.
I need seaQuest, and I need her now.
SeaQuest may be ready for a parade, but she's not ready for active duty.
Make her ready.
We'll miss the parade.
Forget the parade! No parade.
Commander? Yes, sir.
Bring her around bearing two-eight-zero.
Engines full ahead.
Aye, Captain.
Nathan, take all and any necessary action.
There are still hostages on that island.
I!m aware of your predilection for harmony and understanding.
But these There!s no way to attempt understanding or reconciliation with something that came out of a test tube.
If you have to blow that island to hell and back, do it.
Do you need some water? Make sure this man gets some water.
If I were to respond like you, I would lose my right to pity you for what you are.
We've sent out some radio calls to the UEO.
But we're not getting any response.
Maybe Mariah was right, Joseph.
No, Matthew.
Sometimes it takes a sword to defeat a sword.
How are Sarah and the baby? Sarah is frightened and the baby, the baby looks like me.
Joseph, we've just contacted a UEO submarine.
They're 2,800 kilometers north, northeast of here and they're headed in this direction.
They want to talk.
We want to discuss the terms of our freedom.
The UEO will not negotiate as long as you have prisoners.
When we don!t have prisoners, we are prisoners, Captain.
I understand your feeling that way.
But if either side digs in, it's going to result in casualties.
The hostages are in no danger at the moment, Captain.
Please don!t make this any tougher on them.
Stall them, Joseph.
Just give me four hours.
I believe they're prepared to kill us, even if it means losing their men, Mariah.
In four hours, losing their men will seem like a day at the beach.
Mariah out.
You!Il have to reconsider.
This isn't the way he wants it.
Joseph, I have a feeling that this decision is not entirely your own.
There are others I have to consult, Captain.
However, the final decision is mine.
There are others that I have to consult, and the final decision isn't mine.
We will not release the hostages until we are guaranteed our freedom.
Get me General Thomas.
Aye, sir.
They're scrambling at 2,000 megahertz.
Try the standard decode algorithm.
It's conducting a secured transmission, Matthew.
There's nothing standard about this.
I!m not going to negotiate with you, Nathan.
This is a direct order.
I don!t care how you do it.
But if the GELFs fail to release the hostages, you will destroy the colony.
I'm rated triple A-six in demolitions.
I led the underwater demo team during that skirmish in Tonkin.
Tell me, is there anything you can't do? Yeah, I'm having one heck of a time learning the bagpipes.
Oh, bet you look good in a skirt.
Somebody needs to get in and disarm the security system.
Lieutenant, tell me, if I wanted to get 20 armed men onto that island under the cover of darkness, what am I looking at? Well, the UEO's got sensor registers surrounding the colony.
My guess is the GELFs know how to use them.
So, you can't get a man within Suppose they were unarmed or carrying plastic weapons? No.
They're using quartz-sonar equipment.
Anything more dense than a fingernail, a simple breathing unit, even a wetsuit, and they'd be alerted in a second flat.
So I swim in, get your guys in undetected.
What's in it for me? What's in it for you? You get to do something worthwhile.
Worthwhile isn't in my vocabulary.
It is now, or you're back in the brig.
You know, nobody on this boat has a sense of humor.
I do.
Wait to you see what you do when you come back.
Is that supposed to be funny? Get going.
You will hear many things about your parents, about who you are and where you came from.
Keep the truth in your heart and always take it with you.
I can't let you die with me.
The main complex is here.
The officer and staff quarters come out on this hub.
The yard is the most central area and it gives them a My best guess is this is where they've got their hostages.
So in short, even if Piccolo manages to slip through their sensors, there's no way to get the rest of the men into the colony without being spotted.
Unless they're being led by someone who knows the island and has ground combat experience.
Don't tell me.
You were the first to hit the beach at Normandy.
Ah, if I were a century older, you could count on it.
You!re not going to believe this, Captain.
Check out the sea view.
Sea Deck.
Nothing.
No readings of any kinds of electronics or explosives.
Beyond that Oh, my God, get it open.
Hey.
Hi, there.
A GELF baby? They aren't supposed to be able to reproduce.
Well, he sure looks like the real thing to me.
If this is their baby, that means they're becoming human.
Come here, come here, yeah.
Come here.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Find me General Thomas.
Okay.
He's on the sixth floor.
I'm deactivating all elevator and corridor sensors.
I can't control the sixth floor from here.
We'll come down from the seventh.
Let's go.
We've already got leaks, Frank.
We're getting complaints and concerns from the human rights whiners.
Now we've got to have a position on this.
We do have a position.
They're not human.
What in God's name do you think you're doing? God had nothing to do with this, General.
You're responsible for what we are.
You created us.
Let's go.
Captain, bringing a sector seven prisoner aboard seaQuest is strictly against UEO policy.
She's not a prisoner, Jonathan.
She's a baby.
And what a little heartbreaker, Commander? Don't look at me.
You're the one who's a father.
Yeah, not for many, many years.
Sounds like a little gas.
I'm here.
Here we go.
I practically raised my sister's kid.
Where was your sister? Prison.
It's all right, you can come in.
Here.
No.
My hands are too big.
How's Lucas doing trying to dig us up some information? He's doing fine.
I'm only trying to save you time.
Yeah, well, don't bother.
I've been hacking into secured data bases since I was nine.
Yeah, but you can't hack into something that doesn't exist.
All records on the GELF experiments were destroyed.
I mean, even if you find someone, they'd never come forward.
Half of them still face prosecution.
Let me try.
We're talking the dark ages of genetics, here, Lucas.
Scientists playing God, desperate to get into the genetic soldier business.
I did my thesis on ecological integrities.
To obtain military superiority in nuclear and chemical war, ground forces have to survive in less than eight percent oxygen.
I mean, that way, if they lost their human quotient, genetic personnel could continue to make war.
How humanitarian.
Yeah, well, they were.
They developed the oxygen regenerators for those that might survive.
Which is a good thing, considering we destroyed all the rain forests.
I mean, without the oxygen regenerators, we'd all suffocate.
So basically, we owe the military for the air we breathe? Something like that.
Access confirmed.
Ah, here we go.
Captain Bridger, UEO headquarters has been breached.
The GELFs have taken General Thomas and a fully-armed Navis-18 sub.
All right, listen up.
The UEO Military Headquarters has been attacked, and General Thomas was taken prisoner in a Navis-18 submersible.
That's a major piece of equipment, sir.
It certainly is.
Fully operational, cleared in stealth and satellite recon, all phases of extreme R-7 evasives.
An undetectable, self-contained war station.
Isn't that what I just said? All right, that enough.
Let's find the submarine.
I'll die before I cooperate.
I doubt that.
Your background in cooperation is well documented.
What are you talking about? The Korean conflict in 2010.
You were captured along with three of your men, but you managed to come out alive.
I escaped.
You're a politician, General, not a soldier.
Survival is in your genes.
Look, I need your help.
Sorry.
Two seconds.
Look, could you just help me out.
No way, Lucas.
It's not my shift.
I'll pay you.
Not me.
I hate kids.
It's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Okay, come on.
Lucas, babies have different cries for different problems.
You got to learn to listen.
Her diaper needs changing.
You can hear that? No, I can smell that.
Put her on the table.
Thanks.
I own you one.
Here.
You sure you don't wanna do this? No, go ahead.
Trust me.
It's good for the soul.
Okay.
Oh! That's what they do, Lucas.
Hey, Lucas, hurry up.
You realize that this one act of terrorism negates all our negotiations.
Please.
Don!t hurt my baby.
Your baby is doing fine.
We stand as one, Captain.
I!m sorry you can!t understand that.
They don't know, Captain.
He's telling you the truth.
I understand what a miracle this baby is for you.
It must have been very hard for you to let her go.
It was my only choice.
We intercepted the general!s message ordering you to detonate the island.
We had no intention of following that order.
Why should we believe you? Joseph, I was at the GELF colony long enough for you to know that not all of us lie to you.
Captain Bridger is one of those people.
We all want to help, so please end this thing before that chance slips away.
The power to end this is with you.
Confirm.
Thomas, Francis Gideon, General, United Earth Oceans.
Please enter UEO Passive level identity code now.
Identity code accepted.
Enter vector codes and sat-com initiatives.
Thank you for your cooperation, General.
Now wait a minute, that's a very sophisticated piece of weaponry.
I know.
Target the air regeneration station in the Congo region, David.
With pleasure.
Those air exchangers produce the oxygen in our atmosphere.
You destroy them, you kill us all.
We require less than eight percent oxygen to survive, General.
You humans need three times that much.
If I destroy four of these plants, the world is left with eight percent.
You die, we live.
She just turned an S-10 defense satellite around on the Congo regeneration air exchange and blew it to hell.
She's going to suffocate us all.
At 07: 19 Greenwich time today, a terrorist attack by unknown persons destroyed the Congo Basin Atmospheric Regeneration Station in the African Confederation state of New Zaire.
A part of the planet-wide atmospheric regeneration system, the Congo Station was constructed in 2014 following the clear-cutting of the Equatorial African rain forest.
The ARS System is only a supplement to the normal generation of breathable oxygen by the earth!s ecosystems.
Officials say the loss of the station will have no discernable impact on citizens! lives.
How many of these stations can we afford to lose before it impacts on our lives? I'm on it.
Since the plankton die-off after the Beta-9 toxic spill? Four stations.
Yeah, if they destroy the four largest stations, all human life will die, except the GELFs.
Greetings, citizens of the UEO.
I wish I could call you my fellow citizens, but that is something your leaders have always forbidden.
My skin reflects all the colors of mankind, and if you cut me, I bleed.
But there is one difference.
We don!t need as much oxygen as you.
I!ve seized control of anti-missile satellite weapons system number 12 known as the Ronald Reagan Memorial Laser Space Base, and I!ve used it to destroy the first of the ten air regeneration stations that keep this planet breathing.
Oh, my God.
Unless your leaders recognize our humanity and equality as citizens, I!m going to atomize the other nine.
We want the freedom to raise our children in peace.
I!m going to keep destroying these plants at the rate of one an hour until the UEO accedes to my demands.
Give her what she wants.
UEO Policy prohibits negotiating with terrorists.
Human beings in violation of international law are terrorists.
Are you saying that she!s human? No.
UEO Policy gives great deference to the views of the senior commander in charge at the scene.
In this case, that would be you.
Now, I!ve been in touch with the people in the GELF colony, and they only want what everyone else wants, their freedom.
I suggest you give it to them.
Is the baby good? The baby is very good, Dagwood.
It's remarkable.
Congratulations.
Dagwood is a brother now.
In a way.
A cousin? Actually, more like an uncle.
You share some of the same DNA characteristics, same gene pool, skin colors, she even has your nose.
Is that good? Yes.
But her fundamental life category data doesn't correspond with yours.
Not completely.
It suggests that she's a human.
Her lung capacity, her oxygen needs, her blood pressure, all are human.
But daggers aren't human.
We didn't have a god that made us, we had a man that made us.
I'm afraid this little girl had a god, Dagwood.
How? Spontaneous evolution.
The UEO Senate has confirmed citizenship for your people and granted you amnesty.
I suppose you want to collect your friends from the colony now.
I!d like to collect General Thomas, too.
He's been delightful company.
Will you contact your people on the island and arrange for the transfer? Of course.
Thank you.
Welcome to the human race.
Thank you.
What are you doing? I'm human.
I learned how to lie.
But you won.
I spent 20 years in prison.
I'm not going to start believing them now.
The New England plant will be next, David.
Spontaneous evolution? That's right.
Spontaneous evolution is an oxymoron, doctor.
It's like military intelligence.
One cancels out the other.
Well, then what would you call it? Well, you should be able to tell me.
Or the word ridiculous keeps coming up, but I think that mainly applies to your opinion of me.
Well, don't take that personally.
A man's mind used to be his castle.
This baby is human.
How? I don't know.
Speculate.
Well, this might sound somewhat anthropomorphic, but applying human characteristics to non-human life is a place to start, Captain.
But when a living thing, I mean, whether it's a water bug or a ballet dancer, becomes self aware, they start taking the necessary steps to stay alive.
I mean, it's evolutional, it's survival.
A flower will bend towards the morning sun, birds fly south in the winter.
I mean, dolphins learn to talk.
Make your point.
The GELFs became self-aware.
I mean, they began to engage in the social intercourse of community, they shared feelings.
I mean, first it was probably fear, then anger, then maybe hope.
And then they wanted their freedom.
I mean, because they had become autonomous, they become their own species.
And once that happened, nature took over.
I mean, nature needs to protect life.
I mean, if it didn't the universe would die.
Are you talking nature or some divine force? Why, semantics, I mean, take your pick.
I mean, but somehow it knew that the only way the GELFs could survive was to take the next evolutionary step which is to become human.
And then they began to procreate.
This GELF baby has all the physiological characteristics of a human being, Captain.
The GELF terrorists are continuing to destroy the air exchange plants.
Captain Bridger, abandon hostage exchange and engage the hijacked UEO submarine.
Necessary sanction with extreme prejudice.
I thought we had a deal.
I thought so, too.
I'm sorry, doctor.
They're human after all.
Full attack procedure, Commander.
Aye, Captain.
Red alert.
Battle stations.
All hands to battle stations.
O'Neill, do we have her location? I can't break the code, sir.
I can.
That used to be my sub.
Input code two baker one five victor seven.
Access confirmed.
Got it.
Is there anything I can do, Captain? I think Henderson could use some support.
You've got it.
Captain, New England quadrant losing oxygen.
Outer regions Eighteen percent and dropping.
What's our estimated time of engagement, Commander? Seventeen minutes.
I'm Lucas.
Ah, I'm Scared? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Me, too.
Helmsman Henderson.
Helms-man? Helms-person.
Let's just go by first names, huh? Sure.
I'm Lonnie.
I'm Lucas.
You already told me that.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Lucas, thanks.
It's seaQuest.
How did they find us? I don't know, but we can't shake them, we're at maximum.
She's just ahead, sir.
I see her.
Say with her now, stay with her.
It's time to turn and fight.
We can take her out, Captain.
No, no, no, it's her move.
SeaQuest is within weaponry perimeters.
Do it.
Enemy torpedoes coming at us dead ahead at 12 o'clock, impact in 31 seconds.
Arm full counter attack.
Not yet, Commander.
Piccolo, go up there and assist Ortiz.
Yes, sir.
Load intercepts.
Intercepts loaded, sir.
Fire intercepts.
Intercepts fired, sir.
It's going to be okay.
Fire again.
Second barrage of enemy torpedoes underway, sir.
Fire intercepts! Intercepts fired, sir.
We have to counter, sir.
Maximum attack levels.
No we don't.
She's out of torpedoes.
Get me Mariah on the vidlink.
Aye, aye, sir.
Destroy us, Mr.
Bridger.
But we will have plenty of time to destroy the last of your needed air supply.
And destroy yourselves as well? I!m willing to die.
My people will live on.
No, they won't.
You see this baby, this baby is human.
Like us.
She needs to breathe the same way we do.
You!re lying.
No.
I'm not.
But it's up to you to believe that.
Look at this child.
Can you take that risk? I'm telling you the truth, Mariah.
The only risk would be believing any of you.
I!ve never heard the truth from your kind before.
It's true.
These people have never lied to me before.
And I should know, I'm almost her uncle.
But you!re my brother.
Then believe me.
I do.
Ah, look at that.
Captain Bridger.
What will happen to Mariah and our brothers? Well, they've broken our laws and they'll have to live by that, and you'll have to live by those laws as well.
Now you have your freedom.
Congratulations.
But what will we do now? That is a question that free men have been asking themselves since time immemorial.
I can only wish you good luck.
Thanks.
She looks just like him.
Excuse me.
I think we owe you something.
You do.
We do.
Why? You told the truth.
I didn't know what else to tell.
I know that.
That's why I want to thank you.
Um, I better go back to work.
You don't want Dagwood to work here anymore? Yes, just forget that.
Welcome aboard.
Thursday.
Tuesday.
Friday.
I was hoping you were Saturday.
Ah, thank God.
You found Addison.
Addison? I've been looking all over for him.
Who? I can't sleep without him.
Oh, there, some guys have all the luck.
You think that's weird, don't you? You're talking to a guy who organizes his underwear by the day.
Um, you did really well up there, Henderson.
For your first time and everything, I mean.
I was afraid.
Who wasn't? You know, I think I'm going to like it here.
You got your Thursday's in the Tuesday pile.
I hate it when that happens.
Oh You do this, too? Doesn't everybody? Goodnight.
Friday.
Come on, Piccolo, stop showing off and just deal.
I like showing off, it's what I'm good at.
Is there anything you're not good at? Not lately.
Okay, here we go.
The game is Black Mariah, Chicago style.
Spade both, but it's only alive when it's under.
One-eyed Jack is wild, first red two showing gets an automatic card.
Suicide king cancels the hand, ante is progressive, straights can walk around the corner and a four flush beats a pair.
High card only wins with the dealer.
Any questions? Is this the guy that invented "Crazy Eights?" A simple game for a simple mind, Ortiz.
I agree with that.
All right, who's in? Ah, yeah, I'm in.
Yeah, me, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in.
Okay, dealer's in and he has all the power.
So he's raising them.
History, Ortiz, killed by the dead king.
Tough luck.
I'm out.
Oh, and I'm still in.
Here we go.
And I raise everybody.
I'm gone.
He's bluffing.
I know, but I can't breathe.
All right then, it's to you, Luke.
What do you say? I I get the top bunk.
Pretty gutsy, cuz.
Yeah, well, I've got a large lung capacity.
Too bad, killer trip sixes with the spade queen covered.
Shouldn't play with the big boys.
Full boat Jacks, high ace under.
I'm sorry.
You're gonna have to dream on from the bottom bunk.
I read that.
Oh, yeah? First half is okay, but the ending The police captain is the murderer.
Pretty predictable, huh? Yeah, it is now.
Hey, nothing worse than reading a whole book and realizing the ending stinks, right? Well, I can think of a few things, actually.
Like not being given the opportunity to make that determination on my own.
Waste of time.
And from what I hear, the crew of this tug has wasted enough of it.
Oh, come on, Commander, you guys a sank a $10-billion boat last year.
It was for a higher good.
It doesn't matter.
So the Captain wants me to sign on to help make sure that doesn't happen again.
You're kidding, right? Would I kid about a thing like that? I hope so.
You know, we can be friends.

We don't have time.
Bridger told me I'm rooming with you until they finish remodeling my quarters.
What's wrong with your quarters? No place to put the pool table.
